Goya's Ghosts Page #2
that you would not object
if we gave you an opportunity
to prove it?
No, I would be grateful.
How would you like me to prove it?
Did you tell us the truth?
Yes! Yes, I did!
We have reason
to suspect otherwise.
Why?
We suspect the reason you avoid pork
is because you are secret Judaiser.
What?
- Are you?
- What is that?
No, I do not!
You have something to confess.
Do it now.
But I...
What do you want me to confess?
The truth.
But I did!
Tell me what the truth is!
Tell me what the truth is!
Hey, Toms, how wonderful
to see you, my friend.
- How are you, Francisco?
- Come in, come in.
- Can I offer you anything?
- No, nothing, thank you.
Are we alone?
Yes.
I need to speak with this man,
Francisco.
Why?
My daughter Ins has been summoned
by the Holy Office.
- Ins?
- Yes.
That's preposterous.
She went in this morning
and she hasn't come out yet.
And we haven't heard
a word, either.
Do you know why they
wanted to talk to her?
No. That's why I would like
to speak with this man.
Francisco, I'm very sorry
to have to ask you this,
but is there any way
you can arrange it?
But I'm in no position to curry
favors from the Inquisition...
No, no favors.
I can do to help my daughter.
I wish I...
No! I cannot talk
to the Holy Office
about any matter
that does not pertain directly
to me.
I'm sorry.
I beg you, Francisco.
Father Lorenzo.
Come in.
This way.
If I were to meet this man
on the street,
I would never recognize myself
in him.
One has such a different idea
of oneself.
I know I like the painting of him.
Yes, yes...
I'm very pleased
with it, Francisco.
- Shall I choose a frame for it?
- Yes, please, do.
- And there's no need to send money.
- What do you mean?
- Somebody's paying for it.
- Who's paying for it?
His name is Toms Bilbatua.
He's a very rich merchant.
He also intends to underwrite
the reconstruction of the Convent
of Saint Toms.
He's also asked me to paint
frescos throughout the Convent,
which is a very welcome
commission, I must admit.
- What is his name?
- Bilbatua.
from me?
He's the father of...
You recall seeing her face on the
ceiling in the Florida chapel?
Yes?
She's been arrested
by the Holy Office.
I know him quite well.
He's a very honorable man.
Don't be afraid.
- Ins Bilbatua?
- Yes.
I am hereto see if I can...
possibly be of some assistance.
May I go home now?
I don't have the power
to decide that, Ins.
I wanna go home.
Do not fear, my child.
I can deliver a message
to your family...
Do you want me to?
Please.
Will you tell them
that I love them?
I love them so much.
And please,
tell them that always,
when I shut my eyes
and I pray to God
I beseech Him
to let me see my mother
and my father
and my brothers,
when I open my eyes...
- Do you want me to pray with you?
- Yes, please.
Glory to God on high.
And on earth peace
to men of good will.
We give You thanks
for Your great Glory.
O Lord God, heavenly King,
God the Father Almighty.
O Lord Jesus Christ,
the only- begotten Son.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Lord God,
Lamb of God...
Very good, Ins.
I'll take care of you.
It's all right, it's all right.
- Hello! Welcome.
- Toms!
- Gracias, Padre.
- Thank you, Jose.
- How are you, Francisco?
- I'm very well, thank you.
Father Lorenzo.
It's a great honor for me to welcome
you in my house, Father Lorenzo.
This way, please.
These are my sons.
ngel... and lvaro.
Hello, ngel.
And this is my dear wife...
Mara Isabel.
Father Lorenzo,
welcome to our house.
- Thank you.
- Please.
Francisco, thank you.
The time has come for me
to repay
the Lord
for all his kindness
by restoring the Convent
of Saint Toms.
You know,
Toms being my own name,
I'm very sorry that my daughter
cannot dine with us tonight.
A most...
a most marvelous work indeed,
Goya.
Thank you.
As I was saying,
the time has come for me to repay
the Lord for all His kindness
by restoring the Convent
of Saint Toms.
Bless us, o Lord,
and your gifts,
which from your bounty we are about
to receive through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
To the successful restoration
This wine is excellent.
It was aged on a ship that has gone
twice around the world.
to bring out the flavor
in this particular wine.
I didn't know that.
And these are anchovies
from Santoa.
I presume that you're anxious
to have some news of your daughter.
Oh, yes,
extremely so.
She has never ever been away.
Did you see her?
Yes, I did.
How is she?
She's in fine spirits
and sends her love
to all of you.
When can we expect her home?
I couldn't say.
Stand trial?
Why?
For what she has confessed.
What did she confess?
That she had secretly practiced
the Jewish rituals
of her forbears.
But that's impossible.
We are an old Christian family.
Correct me if I'm wrong
but the Brothers in charge
of the archives...
informed me that your
grandmother's great- grandfather
converted from Judaism to
Christianity when he came to Spain
from Amsterdam in 1624.
Is that true?
Yes.
But I am the only person
Then why has your daughter
confessed to it?
Ins couldn't possibly confess to
something she has no knowledge of.
Excuse me,
was my sister put
to 'The Question'?
Yes, she was.
My daughter was tortured?
She was put to 'The Question'.
I thought that kind
of 'investigation'
Yes, it was,
but now
in its quest for the truth,
the Church is bringing it back.
So...
you maintain that a confession
obtained by the means of
as you call it 'The Question'
This is not an opinion
of one simple monk, sir.
It is a tenet of Church
teaching that a confession
attained by 'The Question'
constitutes ultimate proof.
I'm sorry, Lorenzo,
but how can this sort
of confession be an ultimate proof?
If I were tortured, I'd confess
to anything.
I'd confess
I was the Turkish sultan.
No, you wouldn't.
to avoid pain.
No, you wouldn't.
You're a God- fearing man, Goya,
aren't you?
Of course I am.
So, your fear of God would prevent
you from making a false confession.
But what ifthe pain obscured
my senses?
What if my fear of pain
became bigger
than my fear of God?
If you are innocent of the charge,
God will give you the strength
to withstand the pain.
- Are you sure of that?
- Yes.
Forgive me, Father Lorenzo,
but have you ever been
put to the...
to 'The Question' yourself?
- Have I ever been?
- Yes.
Have you ever been subjected
to 'The Question'?
Of course not.
Do you think that if you were
and they asked you to confess
