Goya's Ghosts Page #3
something grotesquely absurd,
say...
say you were told to confess that
you are really a monke...
are you sure that God
would grant you the fortitude
to deny it?
to being a monkey
to avoid the pain?
I know I would.
I know you would.
So would I.
Would you?
What is this? Are you playing some
sort of silly game with your guest?
Nobody would ever ask Father Lorenzo
to confess something so absurd.
I would.
- Is he serious?
- Oh, I'm sure he's not.
lvaro, go get your father.
Sometimes I don't understand
his humor.
Nobody does.
Because my father doesn't have
a sense of humor.
Oh, yes, he does.
- More wine?
- No, thank you.
Francisco?
"I, Lorenzo Casamares,
hereby confess that, contrary
to my human appearance,
am, in fact,
the bastard son of a chimpanzee
and an orangutan
and I have schemed
to join the Church in order
to do harm to the Holy Office."
Sign it.
This is a joke, Toms, right?
Sign it.
ngel, block the door.
Francisco, escort me out
of this house.
Stop Senor Goya.
- Are you crazy?
- Francisco, please stay out of this.
- Let us go.
- You can go.
What do you mean I can go?
And Father Lorenzo?
Did he let my daughter go?
Did you let my innocent daughter
go?
Did he?
Keep him here.
Let Senor Goya go.
Release him!
Escort Seor Goya out.
Toms!
Take your hands off me!
This is outrageous.
Are you ready to sign
the confession?
Mara Isabel.
Bring him here.
Sign it.
Tie his hands.
Will you sign?
All right.
Let's find out if God will give
you the strength
to resist 'The Question'.
Lift him up.
I will burn this paper
the moment
my daughter returns home.
But I won't wait forever.
You must understand that.
All right, you are free to go now.
Father Lorenzo?
You're forgetting something.
This might be of great help
to both of us.
This is a very generous
contribution, indeed.
We are grateful for your efforts,
Brother Lorenzo.
There is a request, Father.
There usually is.
Let us hear the particulars.
The merchant
would like
to have his daughter back.
- Is she with us?
- Yes, Father. Yes.
- What is her status?
- A Judaiser.
How did you respond
to this request?
I promised
to plead for her release.
- On what grounds?
- I took into consideration...
the size of the endowment as well
as the fact
that she is very young.
Did she confess?
Yes, Father.
She was put to 'The Question'.
We shall accept
this magnanimous gift
with humble gratitude.
We shall also carve the name
of the donor
in the Convent in stone
to commemorate
his generosity forever.
As for the daughter,
I will pray to the Lord He may
bestow His mercy on her.
Of course, releasing her would
contradict
the basic principles
of our faith,
because it would suggest
that the Church
doubts the power
of 'The Question'.
We are concluded.
- Did you see my parents?
Yes, I did, I did.
They are doing everything
they can to get you out.
And?
And...
they love you very much, Ins.
Shall we pray together, Ins?
I can't believe it.
"I am, in fact,
the bastard son
of a chimpanzee
and an orangutan...
Can you believe this idiot?
He's crazy.
Your Majesty,
I am a desperate father
and this was done only to prove
that, if put to 'The Question'
even the most innocent man
of cloth
will confess to the most
preposterous absurdities.
Yes.
We beg you, Your Majesty,
please use your authority
to restore our daughter to us.
Yes,
I will see what I can do for her.
I had a good look at the signature.
- There can be no mistake?
- It is Lorenzo's.
Where is Brother Lorenzo?
All the brothers are looking
for him, Father).
- Yes?
- Francisco Goya y Lucientes?
At your service.
We have been told
that you are painting
a portrait
of Lorenzo Casamares.
Yes, please come in.
It's already finished.
This way.
I hope Father Lorenzo
is pleased with the frame
we've chosen for it.
Lorenzo Casamares
disgraced himself
and he is now a fugitive.
A fugitive?
I see.
We're here to confiscate
the portrait.
Yes, of course.
If he were to contact you,
we would like
to be notified immediately.
Well, certainly.
Oh, incidentally,
I have not yet been paid
for the painting.
If we find him,
we'll remind him.
As the image of the man
vanishes into thin air...
may his name forever vanish
from all memory.
Whosoever pronounces his name
may he burn in the fires
of eternal damnation.
She will like this frame.
You've done beautiful work.
I've never been this close
to our Queen.
But... is she really that ugly?
What's your point?
It's a beautiful painting.
Yes, but that does not make
a Queen beautiful.
Don Francisco,
Her Majesty wishes for you
to go to His Majesty's chamber.
Please, sit.
Sit, please.
Please, sit
How did you like it?
Very much, Your Majesty.
Very much.
- Are you telling me the truth?
- I am, I am. I was very...
moved, Your Majesty.
Not now.
Do you know
who composed that piece?
No, not really, sire.
Mozart, maybe? No.
Hndel?
- I did.
- Really?
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
Excellent and beautifully
performed. performed.
- So much for art.
- Now, sire,
I wonder if I could have
your opinion on my...
All right, come in.
Your Majesty...
I have come from Paris.
The French rabble
has decapitated the King
of France.
The King of France?
Yes, Your Majesty.
King Louis.
He was guillotined
in a public execution
six days ago.
My cousin Louis?
Yes, sire.
15 YEARS LATER
Our soldiers must comprehend
the noble purpose of their mission.
from me, Napoleon Bonaparte,
that I will not stand by
and watch our Spanish neighbors
continue to suffer the tyranny
of corrupt and decadent kings,
repressive clergy
and foreign imposters.
Yes, the King of Spain
is not even Spanish.
He is French.
And the Queen of Spain...
She is Italian!
hate the Royal Family
as much as they hate
the Inquisition.
You have never fought
an easier campaign, soldiers!
The common folk will greet you
with flowers and kisses
on the streets of Madrid!
The Spaniard cannot wait
to break his chains
and become a free man.
Long live Napoleon.
I can see these explosions
but I can't hear them.
I'm deaf.
I am completely deaf now,
but every morning
I thank the Lord that
He hasn't taken my sight away
that I've been able to witness
and record
what has been happening here.
These are French soldiers.
The Mamelukes.
Special cavalry recruited
from Egypt by Napoleon
to help liberate Spain.
of the French Revolution.
Liberty,
equality,
brotherhood.
Then to defend the ideas
of the Revolution
Napoleon, this scourge of royalty,
made his own brother,
Joseph, the King of Spain.
But to my fellow Spaniard,
Napoleon's armies are nothing
but foreign invaders,
occupiers.
Who is in command
of this place?
God
is in command of this
and every other place
on this earth, my son.
