The Fountain Page #3

Our skin and blood,

the iron bars of confinement.

But fear not.

All flesh decays.

Death turns all to ash.

And thus...

...death frees every soul.

You...

...the condemned.

You have confessed.

You admit to protecting a queen...

...who twists the word of God...

...and drowns all Spain in sin.

Your queen seeks immortality on Earth.

A false paradise.

This is heresy.

She leads you towards vanity...

...away from the Spirit.

But this is foolishness...

...for death exists.

The Day of Judgment is irrefutable.

All life must be judged.

-Why are you here?

-Come quickly.

-No. Leave. Protect the queen.

-She sent me. She demands your return.

Not before he dies.

No, Tomas. Leave him.

She desires a private audience.

But fear not. She will not be in hell alone.

I will make sure her servants are waiting.

Faithful servant, why do you cry?

To see Spain brought so low...

...with an enemy thriving within

her borders, feasting on her strength.

The shame is too much. I failed her.

Dare not pity Spain.

These times are dark...

...but every shadow, no matter how deep,

is threatened by morning light.

Of course.

This loyalty of yours...

...inspires you to protect Spain

at any cost.

But killing the inquisitor is suicide.

Europe would have my head.

I, for one, am not ready to die yet.

-Are you?

-I will die for Spain.

I know, conquistador.

I know.

And this bravery of yours,

it may save us yet.

For Spain has a plan.

There is hope.

-There's hope?

-Father.

I am Father Avila,

of Her Royal Franciscan Order.

Our allegiance remains with Spain.

Father.

Guards, leave us.

Conquistador...

...I am going to tell you the true reason

why the inquisitor pits cross against crown.

One year ago...

...Father Avila returned

from the jungles of New Spain...

...with a secret so great, it promised

to free all mankind from tyranny.

Spain desired this treasure

above all things.

But the inquisitor feared it

with equal measure.

When I refused to give up

my quest for it...

...he responded with this violent coup

to bring Spain to her knees.

But we have not yielded.

And now we will defeat him.

This is our hope.

A dagger?

Used in religious rituals.

I took it from a dead Mayan priest.

The marking on the hilt...

Do you see it?

It is a map.

A map to the Mayans' greatest secret.

Greater than Chichn Itz,

greater than Yaxchiln.

Greater even than Tikal.

Here, in the center...

...in the core of the once-great

Mayan civilization...

...we will find a lost pyramid.

No.

Not lost. Hidden.

A hidden pyramid of the Mayan myths.

The myths tell us of a holy pyramid

built upon the navel of the earth.

The birthplace of life.
