Le scomunicate di San Valentino Page #5

I know what I have to do.

In the name of the most reverend

Father Onorio de Mendosa...

...I officially inform the accused,

Lucita de Fuentes...

...novice in the

convent of San Valentino...

...that the Inquisition will try her

on 23 November.

The accused will be moved

to the prisons of Seville...

...to be held there

until the day of her trial.

Put on the habit of penance

and let's go.

Take off that impure dress. Only the

blessed habit must cover your body.

Leave.

- I must stay. It is my duty to check.

Let's go.

The door.

Wait. One moment.

Farewell, Lucita.

May Heaven protect you.

For I believe in your innocence.

- But I am innocent.

Why did you confess

to someone else's crime?

Who are you protecting?

Go, my child. I'll pray

for you and the salvation of your soul.

Mother, forgive me. We must go.

I know you have a secret.

I will help you.

Joaquin, I have an idea.

Are you surprised to see me

and not Joaquin or Lucita?

I've come myself to bring news of her.

Who are you?

Doa Incarnacin Diez de Montalbo,

the abbess.

Who told you of me? Who betrayed me?

It was you. You betrayed us. Wretch.

Leave him. He's a faithful servant.

It wasn't him.

It was Lucita who told me everything.

She knew she could trust me.

Lucita? Lmpossible.

- I know everything:

Your wounds, your plans to escape,

her visits to you.

Don't worry.

I'll do all I can for you two.

But what can you do?

- A great deal.

Trust me.

First of all, you must get well quickly

and regain your strength. Let me see.

Joaquin, the bandages and ointment.

There you are.

Tomorrow you'll feel better...

...and I'll tell you how to free Lucita.

Why are you doing all this?

Lucita and I have broken all the rules.

I have found refuge in a place where

the presence of a man is a sacrilege.

You should hate me

rather than protect me.

You should denounce me

to the Inquisition.

Your story touched me. It called up

sweet memories from my past.

I may regret it. But now I want

the happiness of two people in love.

At the risk of my life.

Later, you will bring him to my rooms.

At last you'll have a proper meal,

instead of leftovers.

How can I thank you?

We shall be eternally grateful.

That will be my reward.

Would you like some?

I don't understand you. You should be

glad the abbess is helping us.

You were the first to help us

and she has forgiven you.

You were afraid of some punishment.

What's up?

- Does it matter? Toothache.

Has something happened to Lucita?

- No, let her be. Now I must go.

When can I see her?

- How do I know? Ask the lady abbess.

She will know everything, no doubt.

Do you feel better? If we don't feed
