00:02:05,802 --> 00:02:08,Spain is becoming the richest
country in the world.

00:02:09,014 --> 00:02:12,They've conquered the New World
through the help of God.

00:02:12,392 --> 00:02:15,They've slaughtered the Incas and
converted the survivors by force.

00:02:15,812 --> 00:02:17,Viceroy de Toledo knows
how to deal with them.

00:02:17,981 --> 00:02:20,- He's enslaved those people.
- But he gave them a job.

00:02:21,193 --> 00:02:24,They work like animals in
Spanish gold and silver mines.

00:02:24,863 --> 00:02:29,Dear Carafa, I hope you're not blaming our
Lord for making those lands poor of crops,

00:02:30,702 --> 00:02:32,yet rich of precious minerals.

00:02:34,206 --> 00:02:36,I'm not trying to blame our Lord
in the slightest, more like...

00:02:37,292 --> 00:02:40,More like the conduct of the Church.
I know.

00:02:41,171 --> 00:02:46,(LATIN PRAYER)

00:02:48,261 --> 00:02:53,It only takes our signature to allow
someone to access part of those riches.

00:02:54,893 --> 00:02:57,And such privilege gets the Church
quite valuable friendships.

00:02:58,271 --> 00:02:59,I agree on the privilege part.

00:03:00,524 --> 00:03:02,But I don't agree on the
name on the contract.

00:03:02,818 --> 00:03:05,- He's a fraud.
- But very devoted to the Church.

00:03:06,947 --> 00:03:09,His name was suggested by the mother
superior of the Sant'Arcangelo Convent.

00:03:10,450 --> 00:03:12,As per tradition, the mother
superior of that convent...

00:03:13,078 --> 00:03:16,can designate the person
we'll grant that wealth to.

00:03:18,375 --> 00:03:22,The current mother superior
of the convent is dying.

00:03:26,049 --> 00:03:30,Ah. No point in signing
anything, then.

00:03:34,182 --> 00:03:37,We'll try to grant the new
mother superior's wish.

00:03:47,529 --> 00:03:52,(LATIN PRAYER)

00:05:44,771 --> 00:05:45,The Devil!

00:06:12,507 --> 00:06:15,De profundis clamo
ad te, Domine.

00:06:16,553 --> 00:06:18,Domine, audi vocem meam.

00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:25,Until the new mother superior is officially
appointed, I will be in charge here.

00:06:26,479 --> 00:06:28,As I'm the oldest sister.

00:06:28,857 --> 00:06:30,Domine, audi vocem meam.

00:06:31,359 --> 00:06:34,Mother Giulia, go and ring
the bell to warn the others.

00:06:37,282 --> 00:06:39,Mother Chiara, go
close all the doors.

00:06:40,201 --> 00:06:41,I will summon all the
postulants here.

00:06:42,412 --> 00:06:45,Our Order prescribes that only them
can drag the body to the church.

00:06:55,967 --> 00:06:59,I'm sure you'll be the new
mother superior, Giulia.

00:08:03,410 --> 00:08:06,Ecce crucem Domini,
fugite partes adversae.

00:08:06,997 --> 00:08:09,Immundus spiritus omnis
satanica potestas.

00:08:10,291 --> 00:08:12,Omnis incursio
infernalis adversarii.

00:08:16,256 --> 00:08:17,In nomine Domini Nostri.

00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,- Come help me, Agnese.
- Mother Giulia!

00:08:32,605 --> 00:08:36,Mother Lavinia. Could you lend
me Agnese for a few minutes?

00:08:37,402 --> 00:08:38,Go with her, Agnese.

00:09:23,239 --> 00:09:24,The door...

00:10:26,010 --> 00:10:29,- Afraid?
- Not when I'm with you, Mother Giulia.

00:10:30,723 --> 00:10:33,You'll be a novice soon, Agnese.

00:10:34,936 --> 00:10:38,I promise I will watch over you and
spare you the more burdensome tasks.

00:10:40,024 --> 00:10:41,Even when my niece will join us.

00:10:42,318 --> 00:10:44,- When will she arrive, Mother?
- Soon.

00:10:45,029 --> 00:10:47,- What's her name?
- Isabella.

00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:51,Don't worry, you'll
always be my favourite.

00:11:02,422 --> 00:11:06,You seem glad for our
mother superior's death.

00:11:06,593 --> 00:11:09,Once the soul has left the body, the
latter ceases to have any value.

00:11:10,805 --> 00:11:13,Our souls are the only thing
that determine our existence.

00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:17,- But it's an almost joyful ring.
- It's only the wind.

00:11:32,035 --> 00:11:33,Someone is ringing the bell.

00:11:34,871 --> 00:11:37,Maybe we've been discovered.

00:11:39,751 --> 00:11:41,The mother superior
must have died.

00:11:43,963 --> 00:11:45,This is the opportunity
I've been waiting for.

00:11:47,258 --> 00:11:50,The opportunity to do what?
Become the new mother superior?

00:11:51,012 --> 00:11:51,Exactly.

00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,- I'll have the keys of the convent.
- Oh, it sounds intriguing.

00:11:57,602 --> 00:12:00,Naturally. You'll be
very useful to me.

00:14:02,143 --> 00:14:04,I'll show this document
to the archbishop.

00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,It's a notarised document,
as you can see.

00:14:08,316 --> 00:14:09,I don't doubt it.

00:14:09,859 --> 00:14:11,You must forgive me,
Your Excellency,

00:14:12,695 --> 00:14:14,but I hope you
understand the urgency.

00:14:15,239 --> 00:14:17,That woman can't wait to...

00:14:17,742 --> 00:14:18,Well, you know.

00:14:20,411 --> 00:14:23,She can't wait to become the
new mother superior, I know.

00:14:24,916 --> 00:14:30,It's clear there's no doubts
concerning Mother Carmela's vocation.

00:14:32,715 --> 00:14:34,That's up to the
archbishop to judge.

00:14:39,514 --> 00:14:42,Mother Carmela's family asked me
to tell you, Your Excellency,

00:14:43,226 --> 00:14:48,that they'll be happy to give
you a token of their gratitude.

00:14:50,608 --> 00:14:55,I would naturally tell them how
efficient and helpful you've been.

00:14:56,072 --> 00:14:58,And tell them Carafa is
different from the others.

00:15:00,451 --> 00:15:02,Well, it's an old custom,
Your Excellency.

00:15:06,290 --> 00:15:07,I'm not a Spaniard.

00:15:09,544 --> 00:15:11,I don't share the same
blood with our masters.

00:15:30,231 --> 00:15:31,This is from the
Sant'Arcangelo Convent.

00:15:32,483 --> 00:15:34,There's another one, too.
A plea.

00:15:41,951 --> 00:15:44,Mother Lavinia's family is willing
to increase their donation.

00:15:46,789 --> 00:15:47,They're doubling her dowry.

00:15:49,709 --> 00:15:52,Mother Lavinia has an advantage
over the others, she's the eldest.

00:15:54,380 --> 00:15:56,But some parts of her life
are shrouded in mystery.

00:15:56,966 --> 00:15:59,- During her youth...
- Water under the bridge, and she was acquitted.

00:16:00,845 --> 00:16:02,The Church needs more
financial resources.

00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,That means accepting women with
no vocation at all into convents?

00:16:09,228 --> 00:16:11,Parents pay for their daughters
to be accepted into convents...

00:16:11,856 --> 00:16:13,when they refuse to end
into an arranged marriage.

00:16:14,358 --> 00:16:17,Or to allow their first-born to
inherit their entire estate.

00:16:17,945 --> 00:16:20,Or sometimes even to seize
more power into their hands.

00:16:28,748 --> 00:16:30,We cannot change
how society works.

00:16:32,543 --> 00:16:37,Any donation We receive
is always well-accepted.

00:17:01,614 --> 00:17:02,Mother Giulia!

00:17:04,158 --> 00:17:07,Mother Lavinia, Mother
Giulia's niece has arrived.

00:17:49,579 --> 00:17:50,- Isabella!
- Aunt Giulia.

00:17:51,539 --> 00:17:52,My dear...

00:17:56,877 --> 00:17:58,You must call me Mother Giulia.

00:18:00,006 --> 00:18:02,Welcome to the
Sant'Arcangelo Convent.

00:18:10,349 --> 00:18:12,Always a pleasure to see
you, Mother Giulia.

00:18:13,561 --> 00:18:16,Isabella has been giving us a lot
of trouble with her romantic whims.

00:18:17,565 --> 00:18:20,Convincing her to come
here wasn't an easy task.

00:18:22,737 --> 00:18:24,What about the boy?

00:18:24,655 --> 00:18:26,Fernando has been sent far away.

00:18:29,493 --> 00:18:31,Any important news?

00:18:31,329 --> 00:18:34,Don Carlos Ribera will soon meet the
archbishop to tell him about...

00:18:35,166 --> 00:18:37,the donation he
will do in your name.

00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,- He added he will come visit you soon.
- Good.

00:18:41,964 --> 00:18:44,I'm keeping an eye
on the situation.

00:18:44,634 --> 00:18:47,Sister Carmela and Sister Lavinia
have put forward their candidature.

00:18:48,596 --> 00:18:51,Your adversaries are
worth their salt.

00:18:54,935 --> 00:18:55,I know.

00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,Isabella!

00:19:18,334 --> 00:19:19,Mother Giulia.

00:19:20,753 --> 00:19:23,I can't personally inspect my niece.
It wouldn't be right.

00:19:24,757 --> 00:19:25,Mother Carmela.

00:19:44,819 --> 00:19:45,Sit down.

00:20:16,434 --> 00:20:17,Don't be afraid.

00:20:24,650 --> 00:20:25,No...

00:20:28,028 --> 00:20:28,Go on.

00:21:09,987 --> 00:21:10,No...

00:22:37,032 --> 00:22:38,Lord, help me...

00:22:39,660 --> 00:22:40,Lord, help me...

124...
