00:00:17From my earliest memory, Isabel was more than just an elder sister.
00:00:21She was the one standing beside me, protecting me.
00:00:24With her, I felt safe from all the horrors that began to surround us.
00:00:30Two small wooden boxes with worn leather straps.
00:00:37Mr. Philip.
00:00:39One circumcision knife. Good condition.
00:00:50Quick, come closer to me.
00:00:56Yes, Mr. Philip.
00:01:00Come here.
00:01:00Come here.
00:01:00Come here.
00:01:03Isaac, I baptize you, Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:01:13David, I baptize you, Jose Luis, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:01:20Beatrice, I baptize you, Antonio, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:01:25To death, I baptize you, Isabel Maria, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:01:42Sarah, I baptize you, Clara Maria, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:01:46So thank you very much.
00:02:08The Holy Spirit.
00:02:11Let's go.
00:02:41Let's go.
00:03:11Let's go.

00:04:41Let's go.
00:04:42Let's go.
00:04:43My husband died helping others.
00:04:46For many years he had been smuggling Jews beyond the reaches of Christendom to Istanbul.
00:04:53My daughter was only 13 years old, but now, like her mother and aunt before her, fatherless in this world.
00:05:04Once more we had to abandon our home.
00:05:07Our cousin Joseph stayed behind, promising to bring out others of our faith when he could.
00:05:13When you've finished with that, give it to Louise to take out.
00:05:23Farrah, I've sent a messenger ahead to make preparations for this.
00:05:27I was a widow at 31, and now the shadow of my husband's death fell between my sister and myself, dividing us for the first time.
00:05:36I want you to read this out to me.
00:05:39What is it?
00:05:41Alphonse's will.
00:05:43According to the law of our family, Salvador Benveniste, one single person should be charged with the interests of all.
00:05:52Thus, I entrust the Salvador fortune to my sister-in-law, Isabel, being the eldest living member.
00:05:59She inherits all our assets in Antoapes, Lyon, Frankfurt, and Venice.
00:06:04I also entrust Isabel my daughter, Victoria.
00:06:07She will be her guardian until such time as Victoria's marriage.
00:06:14We were so rushed.
00:06:35These few trunks were all we could manage.
00:06:37Now, here, that's the important thing.
00:06:40Of course.
00:06:41But I'll only be happy when I see Joseph and the others here as well.
00:06:44And how long do you think before we'd be able to get a boat?
00:06:51A fortnight.
00:06:52Maybe more.
00:06:54I'm in negotiations with some Turks.
00:06:57Thank you, Donato.
00:06:58I've been dreaming of our own passage to Isabel for so many years.
00:07:01You've made the right decision.
00:07:03Everyone says it's a haven for Jews.
00:07:05Are there no streets in Venice?
00:07:13Yes.
00:07:14Except sometimes at high tide.
00:07:17When I first arrived, what, 15 years ago, every piazza in Venice was underwater.
00:07:22And in all that time, you've never had any problems living here?
00:07:26Never.
00:07:27So long as you keep to yourself.
00:07:31They tolerate outsiders like us?
00:07:33If they believe we can bring them good business, for the most part, the converted Jews are welcome.
00:07:38If you break their trust, Venetians can be merciless.
00:07:41We've learned to be cautious.
00:07:52Some of the people Alfonso sent in the past have stayed on to help me.
00:07:56They're very discreet.
00:07:58You feel at ease with them.
00:08:00Has anyone asked you why we were here?
00:08:02Oh, I told them you were planning to settle.
00:08:05What, with Venetian and Turkish relations being so strained, I didn't think it would be wise to disclose your real intentions.
00:08:12Can I make this my room?
00:08:14Of course.
00:08:15Your mother agrees.
00:08:16There's some powerful Venetians you will have to meet.
00:08:19One of them, Count Foscari, the man who secured your permits, has already invited you to a ball.
00:08:25If it's not too much.
00:08:26I hope you accept it for us.
00:08:28I do.
00:08:29He expects to hear about your investments in Venice.
00:08:31I can't find my shoes anywhere.
00:08:48Are these ones?
00:08:52No, not those.
00:08:53We're probably left behind in Antwerp, like everything else.
00:08:55Laura, please, we'll be late.
00:08:57We haven't even got the right clothes.
00:08:59I don't think anybody's going to notice we're in mourning.
00:09:01All the more reason to make our excuses.
00:09:02I don't know why you feel we have to go to this ball.
00:09:06What am I going to say if someone asks after Alfonso?
00:09:09I don't think you need me to tell you.
00:09:10Or Victoria, if someone asks her where her father is.
00:09:12I have a word with her, if you like.
00:09:14Now, I'll talk to her.
00:09:15As you wish.
00:09:17After all, I am her mother.
00:09:18It's only right that I should be concerned for my daughter.
00:09:20Or should I now behave differently toward her?
00:09:23You're still upset by Alfonso's will, aren't you?
00:09:25I'm not upset.
00:09:26It's just a piece of paper.
00:09:27Nothing's changed.
00:09:28I'm really concerned for my daughter.
00:09:30Besides, I don't know how anyone can describe a will as just a piece of paper.
00:09:34Count and Countess Foscombe.
00:09:51Count Foscombe.
00:09:52Donna Isabel and her sister Clara Salvador and her daughter Victoria.
00:09:57I'm honored.
00:09:58The privilege is ours.
00:10:00Having heard about you all these years, I'm delighted at last to make your acquaintance.
00:10:04My condolences on your husband.
00:10:07Allow me to introduce the paper and dossier of Venice.
00:10:10For a minute.
00:10:11Isabel.
00:10:11Isabel.
00:10:11Isabel.
00:10:15Isabel.
00:10:28Goodbye.
00:10:34Excuse me.
00:10:42Well, they've arrived with all their money.
00:10:45What are they like?
00:10:46Quite agreeable.
00:10:48You see the one lingering next to the Turkish ambassador?
00:10:52Well, that's the younger sister Clara.
00:10:54Pretty, isn't she?
00:10:55Husband?
00:10:56Recently deceased.
00:10:57No woman should be left alone for long.
00:11:00Well, wish you luck.
00:11:02These convents can be quite unpredictable, you know.
00:11:05Like all women.
00:11:06Um, if you are successful, would you kindly let me know their plans?
00:11:11I didn't acquire their permits so that they could go over to the Ottomans with all their holdings.
00:11:15Senor Soleil.
00:11:20De Monte.
00:11:21What a pleasure.
00:11:22May I introduce Donna Isabel?
00:11:25I'm honored.
00:11:27And her sister, Clara Salvador.
00:11:31May I invite you to dance?
00:11:41Simple, simple.
00:11:42Double, double.
00:11:42Is it your business to know people's names before you've been introduced, Senor Zane?
00:12:09It's my nature.
00:12:13And has your nature ever let you down?
00:12:33De Monte speaks very highly of you.
00:12:37What does he say?
00:12:39If I told you, you might accuse me of trying to flatter you.
00:12:44Then you'd better not to repeat it.
00:12:50Try this one.
00:12:51What is it?
00:12:52Red wine.
00:12:54Strange question.
00:12:55I meant what kind.
00:12:56Well, what kind do you like?
00:12:58Do they not drink wine where you come from?
00:13:00Of course they do.
00:13:00There are people for whom wine is forbidden because of their religion.
00:13:03I mean, they do.
00:13:04The price of one, he doesn't drink wine.
00:13:07You might be a sort of a little bit.
00:13:09I mean, they're not going to drink wine.
00:13:10The price of one, they're not going to drink wine.
00:13:10I mean, they're not going to drink wine.
00:13:12All right.
00:13:12I mean, I am going to ride him.
00:13:13The price of one.
00:13:13I'm going to british.
00:13:14Wow.
00:13:14I'm going to ride you.
00:13:15I mean, I won't do it.
00:13:16I want to ride you.
00:13:16In honor of our Turkish ambassador and for his sultan,
00:13:19a gift
00:13:21to celebrate this rare occasion
00:13:23for our friendship

00:13:51that they can never reproduce

00:14:55I'm having difficulty negotiating with the Turks
00:15:07about your boat
00:15:08how much are they asking for?
00:15:10it's not money they're interested in
00:15:12what do they want?
00:15:14oh they're obsessed with the wonders of Venetian glass
00:15:17it's like a thorn in the sultan's foot
00:15:19what do they expect us to do about it?
00:15:23well they have some idea that you might use your influence to help them
00:15:27how would I do that?
00:15:30it's dangerous
00:15:32but convince someone to betray the secrets of Venetian glass to them
00:15:35then they will give you safe passage
00:15:43Donna Isabelle for Count Foscari

00:16:15and we shall do everything in our power to assist you
00:16:17as you settle a morass
00:16:19how reassuring
00:16:20Demonte and I have already started to discuss
00:16:23the various ways in which I might be of service to you
00:16:25all you have to do is to indicate to me
00:16:29what your interests are
00:16:30pepper, spices, silk
00:16:32there was something that caught my eye the other night
00:16:35yes
00:16:36Venetian glass

00:16:41I must congratulate you
00:16:46Donna Isabelle
00:16:47you have discovered
00:16:49our most prized commodity
00:16:52and although traditionally
00:16:54it has always been restricted to those of us
00:16:56of Venetian birth
00:16:58I'm certain that once you become a false citizen
00:17:00I would very much like to learn more about it
00:17:02and so you shall
00:17:04in the meantime
00:17:06is there anything else that struck you
00:17:08something a little less fragile
00:17:10perhaps our maritime trade
00:17:13I would highly recommend it
00:17:15if as Demonte says
00:17:17your intention is to consolidate your business interests
00:17:20here in Venice
00:17:21that is your intention
00:17:23is it not?
00:17:24of course
00:17:25good
00:17:25good
00:17:26then
00:17:28I would suggest
00:17:31an investment
00:17:33in cargo space
00:17:34on two ships
00:17:35you would receive a return rate
00:17:38of 15%
00:17:39in the past
00:17:42we received twice that amount
00:17:44very well then
00:17:4730%
00:17:48in five ships
00:17:50I'm sure 150,000 ducats
00:17:54there wouldn't be too big a burden
00:17:55on your resources
00:17:56please don't oblige me
00:18:00to go any higher
00:18:01or I shall face certain ruin

00:18:08shall we conclude our business?
00:18:12I don't see how I can refuse

00:18:17why he was so eager
00:18:18to grant us our permits
00:18:19I wasn't aware
00:18:20you intended to make
00:18:21such a large investment here
00:18:22I don't intend to
00:18:24if we give in to Foscary's demands
00:18:25we'll be trapped here forever
00:18:26no
00:18:28I'll have to find a way
00:18:30to give the Turks
00:18:31what they want
00:18:32so that we can leave
00:18:32as soon as possible
00:18:33let nothing escape you
00:18:46I want to know everything

00:19:59oh

00:20:02Clara
00:20:04we can't just stop being who we are
00:20:05master's events
00:20:12yesterday I overheard
00:20:13Hernán Vázquez
00:20:15an assistant glassmaker
00:20:16on the island of Murano
00:20:17talking about
00:20:18selling the secrets
00:20:19of our most venerated industry
00:20:21to foreigners
00:20:21I write this letter
00:20:23with no thought of profit
00:20:24to myself
00:20:25a man is a traitor
00:20:27to our state
00:20:27and to all its citizens
00:20:29do not come here
00:20:45to agree with us
00:20:46but to pray to the Holy One

00:21:17now
00:21:19my spot
00:21:20my spot
00:21:20my maximal
00:21:22I begin with
00:21:23ips
00:21:41me
00:21:44Let's go.
00:22:14How well do you know Senor Zane?
00:22:19Not well.
00:22:21I know that he comes from an old family, riddled with debt.
00:22:25The name still holds sway in the courts.
00:22:29And he said he can be bought.
00:22:31He also has a reputation as a ladies' man.
00:22:34Can he be approached?
00:22:36I believe he might be persuaded to help us.
00:22:40Would you like me to try?
00:22:41Of course.
00:22:42You can never have too many friends.
00:22:53Upon receiving an anonymous letter on the third day of June, 1518,
00:22:59with charges of the selling of state secrets and bribery of public officials,
00:23:04the Council of Ten has issued an arrest warrant for Hernán Vázquez,
00:23:08who will be sentenced by the highest authorities.
00:23:17Find Hernán Vázquez and bring him.
00:23:19I understand you went to a ball the other night.
00:23:26How was it?
00:23:27I don't remember.
00:23:28You don't remember?
00:23:30Meeting any nice people?
00:23:33No.
00:23:33Oh, I can't believe that.
00:23:36A pretty girl like you, so clever, so talented.
00:23:40How many languages did you say you spoke?
00:23:42Five, but I've never really spoken French.
00:23:46So it doesn't count?
00:23:48Oh, you're here.
00:23:54The doctor's still with Victoria.
00:23:56What doctor?
00:23:57Didn't you send for one?
00:23:58No.
00:23:59Well, somebody did.
00:24:01He's from the ghetto.
00:24:02I thought it must have been you.
00:24:03I didn't send for anyone.
00:24:06My sister, Isabel.
00:24:07My name is Ruben Montillo.
00:24:11Signor Zane asked me to look in on your niece, Victoria.
00:24:15Is she all right?
00:24:16Oh, she's fine.
00:24:18Minor stomach upset.
00:24:20Nothing serious.
00:24:22I'll go and see her.
00:24:23Goodbye.
00:24:27I told her to stay away from sweet wines.
00:24:31Well, they make better poisons.
00:24:34Yes.
00:24:34It is an honor to make your acquaintance, Judith Benveniste.
00:24:41How did you come to know my name?
00:24:43Well, his, his, his.
00:24:45I know the good you are doing, the lives you have saved.
00:24:49I thought people in the ghetto would find it difficult to understand us.
00:24:52It's better they don't know.
00:24:55I would very much like to.
00:24:56Oh, no, no, no.
00:24:57Signor Zane has already been very generous.
00:25:00Well, how can I thank you?
00:25:01She just promised to call on me.
00:25:02You should ever need my services.
00:25:05I will.
00:25:06Thank you again.
00:25:16Faultful people, these Venetians.
00:25:19Either that or seeing Azale has his eye on you.

00:25:29and forsaking the trust of our serene state.

00:29:45she's feeling better why did you give that boy a coin did i i saw you well the fathers will take
00:29:53it off from later the church gets everything in the end almost is that why everyone was laughing
00:29:59we're venetians first christians second we believe in san marco a bitten god hardly at all in the
00:30:06poop what language are they speaking your mother used to speak it when she was little
00:30:19like all jews in spain i thought jews weren't allowed in venez oh yes they are they just have to live in
00:30:24the ghetto oh can i see her there are so many people
00:30:40isn't that where dr rubin lives yes it is can we go in no it's forbidden
00:30:54why do they keep the glasswork so far out well it's easier to protect them from unwanted visitors
00:31:05and there have been so many fires the last one almost destroyed us
00:31:10i feel privileged that you have chosen to take us why you're one of us
00:31:14come thank you let me start by showing you a little piece of magic i learned long ago
00:31:25now the mystery you can hit this glass as hard as you like but it won't break
00:31:42stand back please watch your eyes victoria covering and as if by a miracle
00:31:55what is that a prince rupert's drop may i have a look around of course of course
00:32:01it must take years to arrive at such perfection yes and a lot of patience too
00:32:18when molten the glass is alive you must understand its nature it's a question of mixture color heat smell
00:32:26also how do you know the glass is hot enough well it's very difficult for me to explain the glass
00:32:32tells me i feel it i can't explain with words i know of many places where your skills are envied
00:32:42and appreciated of course it takes several lifetimes to learn a craft such as ours such a skill could be
00:32:48highly rewarded i hope we can talk further
00:33:02victoria's full of intelligence and candor like her mother
00:33:08i can think of many venetians who would be glad to welcome her to their family
00:33:12she is still very young that is the right age to marry
00:33:18the salvadors are a distinguished family donna isabel would be willing to pay an exceptional
00:33:27price for the glass works but what would prevent her from selling our knowledge of glass making to
00:33:32foreigners you'd only be encouraging her to take her affairs elsewhere not if her niece
00:33:36were wed in venice and who would marry this fortunate heirs it's every father's duty to see his son well
00:33:42married god bless you and youth good day why are you thinking of your son andrea
00:33:52he's a limited boy it's the best i can do for him tread carefully zani are you sure it's the right
00:33:59family donna isabel made a commitment to me that she seems reluctant to keep perhaps she's just being
00:34:05cautious scheming more like i think you'll find the salvadors are less calculating than you would
00:34:10imagine the younger sister clara is quite a delicate creature delicate you're not becoming sentimental
00:34:19beautiful are you zani you of all people delicate you say
00:34:30stunning
00:34:34oh you are beautiful
00:34:40look at this

00:36:59the penalty can be quite severe
00:37:02thank you for the reminder
00:37:04good day
00:37:06lana isabel
00:37:19thank you
00:37:31thank you
00:37:32The dump is starting to get to these things.
00:37:36Joseph's here.
00:37:42I swear this was your first proper meal since leaving Antwerp.
00:37:46No, but it's the best.
00:37:47It's not been easy bringing out so many of our people.
00:37:55How many did you manage?
00:37:57Six families.
00:37:59For the time being, De Monte has hidden them out on the islands.
00:38:01But the sooner we leave, the better.
00:38:05We can't wait any longer.
00:38:07Now that Joseph's arrived and Fosker is breathing down my neck for the money I promised him.
00:38:12I'm afraid Senior Zane's petition on our behalf is going nowhere.
00:38:16Forget about Zane.
00:38:18We can't keep our people on the islands forever.
00:38:21I'll have to make my own deal with the glassmaker and take him with us.
00:38:26Please try to arrange a safe place for us to meet.
00:38:31Clara.
00:38:34Senior Zane.
00:38:35Victoria.
00:38:41So good to see you.
00:38:43Good day.
00:38:45Thank you for coming.
00:38:46It's my pleasure.
00:38:46You remember Andrea?
00:38:48Andrea, how nice to see you again.
00:38:49You've changed your clothes.
00:38:57You're going to make all Venetian women jealous.
00:39:00Even Francesca?
00:39:01Most especially.
00:39:04Have you known her long?
00:39:05Since as far back as I can remember.
00:39:07No.
00:39:07When my wife died, she dedicated a lot of time to me.
00:39:12Ah.
00:39:14You must be very close.
00:39:16She's my sister-in-law.
00:39:18I see.
00:39:19Andrea was only six, and he needed someone.
00:39:23She was there.
00:39:29Let's pretend to talk, otherwise my father will worry.
00:39:31You talk, I'll reply.
00:39:34I know a lot of young girls who would like to be in your place.
00:39:37I would concede it to them with pleasure.
00:39:39I didn't choose this situation any more than you.
00:39:42However, I do not find it as disagreeable as you appear to.
00:39:46You clean the squid, taking out its mouth, eyes, stomach, and then, yesterday, you take out its black bone.
00:39:55This we give to the birds.
00:39:56Be careful.
00:39:57And then we squeeze out the black ink.
00:40:02Ah.
00:40:02You see, most of it's on my hand now.
00:40:05Put it into warm water.
00:40:10We get some garlic.
00:40:12We put it into a pan.
00:40:14We wait for a few to go over the course.
00:40:17Meanwhile, she has red, chopped off the ice cream, and some dry, white wine, and salt, and cavern.
00:40:23And in the end, we take warm water and pour it over the dish slowly to achieve its color.
00:40:29How do you know all this?
00:40:31My grandmother taught me.
00:40:32That's her grandmother taught her.
00:40:34I don't know.
00:40:44I can't be away from the glassworks for too long.
00:40:55Do you realize how difficult this decision is for me?
00:40:58Of course.
00:40:59But you accept our terms.
00:41:01Your offer is generous.
00:41:03But if I accept it, I'll be putting everything at risk.
00:41:05And glassmaking's not only my work, it's my life.
00:41:07I understand.
00:41:09You'll have everything you need when we get to Istanbul.
00:41:12You will have your own glassworks.
00:41:13I give you my word.
00:41:16The terms are agreeable to me.
00:41:18Do you miss your old life?
00:41:22No.
00:41:23Hardly at all.
00:41:25Especially now.
00:41:26It wasn't difficult at first.
00:41:28It's always hard when you're escaping the past.
00:41:30You advance with your head turned back for a while.
00:41:32And then things start to change.
00:41:35When you summon up your memories one by one, you find your home is no longer what it was.
00:41:40Your daughter is grown up.
00:41:42Your sister is a different sister.
00:41:44My marriage was arranged by Isabel.
00:41:54I was never in love with Alfonso.
00:41:57Sometimes I think he married me so that he could be closer to her.
00:42:01Your sister was never engaged.
00:42:03No.
00:42:04She's always had to look out for the rest of us.
00:42:06She was never free to live as others do.
00:42:09She never really had a childhood.
00:42:10I want to give Victoria the happiness that she deserves.
00:42:18She will find it here.
00:42:23In Venice.
00:42:30Finally.
00:42:31It seems we're going to be leaving very shortly.
00:42:33Really?
00:42:36It's good news, isn't it?
00:42:38Do you really think it's a good idea?
00:42:40What?
00:42:42Maybe we should stay a little longer and see how things turn out.
00:42:44I mean, we don't know anything about Istanbul.
00:42:47And Venice has been kind to us.
00:42:50What happened with you and Zani today?
00:42:56Nothing.
00:42:56We just talked.
00:43:01About what?
00:43:02Oh, I don't know.
00:43:03All kinds of things.
00:43:06Life.
00:43:07Venice.
00:43:09Future.
00:43:14He even suggested Victoria should marry Andrea.
00:43:19Clara, I think it would be better if you don't see Zani anymore.
00:43:22I thought you liked him.
00:43:24The Turks have agreed to send us a boat.
00:43:26We're leaving Venice.
00:43:27We're leaving Venice.
00:43:56We're leaving Venice.
00:43:57We're leaving Venice.
00:43:57We're leaving Venice.
00:43:58We're leaving Venice.
00:43:58We're leaving Venice.
00:43:59We're leaving Venice.
00:43:59We're leaving Venice.
00:44:00We're leaving Venice.
00:44:00We're leaving Venice.
00:44:01We're leaving Venice.
00:44:01We're leaving Venice.
00:44:02We're leaving Venice.
00:44:02We're leaving Venice.
00:44:03We're leaving Venice.
00:44:04We're leaving Venice.
00:44:04We're leaving Venice.
00:44:05We're leaving Venice.
00:44:05We're leaving Venice.
00:44:06We're leaving Venice.
00:44:06We're leaving Venice.
00:44:07We're leaving Venice.
00:44:07We're leaving Venice.
00:44:08We're leaving Venice.
00:44:09We're leaving Venice.
00:44:09We're leaving Venice.
00:44:10We're leaving Venice.
00:44:11We're leaving Venice.
00:44:12We're leaving Venice.
00:44:13We're leaving Venice.
00:44:14We're leaving Venice.
00:44:15We're leaving Venice.
00:44:16Oh, my God.
00:44:46Oh, my God.
00:45:16Oh, my God.
00:45:46Oh, my God.
00:46:16I was asking your opinion.
00:46:18I heard you.
00:46:19I'm tired.
00:46:21I'm going to bed.
00:46:22Are you sure she was with him?
00:46:36They were a stone's throw away from me.
00:46:39Anybody could have seen them.
00:46:42She could at least have concealed it.
00:46:44I'd better have a word with her.
00:46:56Clara, have you lost your mind?
00:47:00Why?
00:47:00Clara, you were seen last night.
00:47:05I don't know what you mean.
00:47:06Don't lie to me.
00:47:08Where are you going?
00:47:10Clara.
00:47:12Don't think he chases you like a child.
00:47:14You don't know anything about him.
00:47:17I don't need to.
00:47:19This...
00:47:20You can never have a life with him.
00:47:22Why not?
00:47:25Because all Zane has ever wanted from us is to secure a dowry for his son.
00:47:29He's after our money.
00:47:31Will you stop thinking about yourself and think about your daughter?
00:47:36Victoria is my daughter and she will do as her mother sees fit.
00:47:40The will makes me her guardian.
00:47:41I'll contest the will.
00:47:43I felt bid you to see Zane again.
00:47:45Ever.
00:47:45You are only my sister.
00:47:46You cannot forbid me from seeing whoever I want to see.
00:47:50But we're leaving.
00:47:51No.
00:47:51Victoria will marry Andrea and I will stay here to be with her.
00:48:17Victoria will marry Andrea and I will stay here to be with her.
00:48:21We could never have a life here.
00:48:48Can you imagine what it would mean to us if we stayed?
00:48:52We would have to live as Catholics.
00:48:54But we do live as Catholics.
00:48:56Do we not attend Mass?
00:48:58Do we not take communion and go to confession like all other Catholics?
00:49:02However we might behave, to them we can only ever be one thing.
00:49:05Jews.
00:49:06Jews?
00:49:07What kind of Jews?
00:49:08I mean, what kind of Jews do you think we are?
00:49:10Tell me.
00:49:10What kind of Jews are forbidden to enter a synagogue?
00:49:12What kind of Jews share their table with the same people who chase them from their homes?
00:49:15What kind of Jews allow themselves to be baptized?
00:49:18The kind that want to survive.
00:49:20That's why we're going.
00:49:21So that we can be Jews.
00:49:22Let's walk.
00:49:52TEACHER
00:50:06TEACHER
00:50:16TEACHER
00:50:18TEACHER
00:50:20TEACHER
00:50:39Victoria, what are you doing here?
00:50:42I was looking for you, Dr. Rubin.
00:50:44Don't make me go back.
00:50:45I don't want to marry Andrea.
00:50:47Andrea?
00:50:48Paolo's aunt, his son.
00:50:49Well, yes, yes, I know who he is.
00:50:51What is the wrong with Andrea that he's got you in such a state?
00:50:53What did he do?
00:50:54Nothing.
00:50:55I just don't want to marry him.
00:50:57I doubt very much your mother or your aunt
00:50:59would ever make you something that wasn't in your best interest.
00:51:03My dear.
00:51:06Where is she?
00:51:07It's not important.
00:51:09She's not from here.
00:51:10Well, she needs my help.
00:51:11I want to help her send her away.
00:51:13It's not like that she should be here.
00:51:14Well, she's my responsibility.
00:51:15Not when she's alone, huh?
00:51:17Yes.
00:51:33What do you think I should do about Clara?
00:51:35How can I make her see?
00:51:36Half, I believe, we support her for now.
00:51:39The less trouble, the better while we're waiting for the boat.
00:51:43When can we expect to leave?
00:51:45I think within a month.
00:51:48I was hoping you'd say a week.
00:51:50Sorry.
00:51:51I asked for a while.
00:51:52What?
00:51:53What?
00:51:54What?
00:51:55What?
00:51:56What?
00:51:57What?
00:51:58What?
00:51:59I'm sorry.
00:52:16Clara?
00:52:17Clara, I love you.
00:52:25I know we both want what's best for the family.
00:52:29It's just that with everything that's happening...
00:52:32We want different things.
00:52:44I don't want to stop you from doing what you feel is right.
00:52:47Please forgive me for the way I acted.
00:52:59I won't interfere anymore.
00:53:04What about Victoria?
00:53:11You are her mother. You decide.
00:53:17It's important to me that we stay together
00:53:29We will
00:53:32As the day of the last Kippur until today
00:53:34Are declared null
00:53:36And must be considered
00:53:38As absolutely
00:53:39Void
00:53:41May we therefore be pardoned
00:53:44We the children of Israel
00:53:46And the foreigners live among us
00:53:49For we have all acted through error
00:53:52Am I really going to marry his son?
00:54:09I believe relatives of mine once lived in this house many generations ago
00:54:13Heartens me to know it's in such good hands
00:54:16How are you?
00:54:17I'm well
00:54:18Come
00:54:19Signor Zane has something he would like to discuss with us
00:54:22Yes
00:54:23Well I've been thinking very seriously about Victoria and Andrea
00:54:26And I thought we might have the engagement in a few weeks
00:54:28And the wedding soon after
00:54:30What's important is that the idea of this wedding
00:54:33Pleases you as much as it does me
00:54:35Nothing could give me more pleasure than the happiness of my niece
00:54:40Are you excited to be getting married?
00:54:48Victoria
00:54:48Signor Zane is talking to you
00:54:51My niece is very shy
00:54:53Well
00:54:54We've spent so little time together
00:54:56I know little about you except that you dance wonderfully
00:54:59And that's important
00:55:01Isn't it?
00:55:03It's very important
00:55:04But it's also necessary to take care of the mind
00:55:08Mensana
00:55:10Incorporisana
00:55:12Excellent
00:55:13Donna Isabel
00:55:31Good news
00:55:32Your boat has arrived
00:55:34The Turks are impatient to get their glass made
00:55:37Well then
00:55:38We are not staying here another day
00:55:40I want us to be ready to leave by morning
00:55:43What about Clara?
00:55:48Don't worry about Clara
00:55:49I'll take care of her
00:55:50Just be sure to bring the glass maker
00:55:53It will be done
00:55:56I'll get Joseph to help me
00:56:10Dana Isabel
00:56:38It fills me with joy to see these two young people together.
00:56:45There's nothing so fragile, so uncertain, as a union logic constantly.
00:56:50Don't you agree?
00:56:53I'll be able to settle our agreement by the end of the week.
00:57:08There's an underwater channel. You'll have to swim through it to get inside.
00:57:18He'll be waiting for you.
00:57:21There shouldn't be any guards there.
00:57:24Under the arch.
00:57:54We've been followed. I'll have to warn Joseph.
00:58:09Wait here.
00:58:14Wait here.
00:58:44Go!
00:59:10Go!
00:59:14Your sister is transformed.
00:59:21To what or to whom do we owe such dazzling beauty?
00:59:25It's the happiness of others.
00:59:27She's happy for Victoria.
00:59:29She's happy for all of us.
00:59:31Senor Zane.
00:59:32Dona Isabel, how are you?
00:59:33Fine, thank you. I would like very much to speak to you.
00:59:36My pleasure.
00:59:37In private.
00:59:38Will you excuse me for a moment?
00:59:39Of course.
00:59:41We must go.
00:59:42Monte has been caught.
00:59:43Quickly.
00:59:44Please.
00:59:46Please.
00:59:47It's odd.
00:59:49But I feel strangely nostalgic this evening.
00:59:52I'm sorry.
00:59:53I'm sorry.
00:59:54I'm sorry.
00:59:55I'm sorry.
00:59:56I'm sorry.
00:59:57I'm sorry.
00:59:58I'm sorry.
00:59:59I'm sorry.
01:00:00I'm sorry.
01:00:01I'm sorry.
01:00:02I'm sorry.
01:00:03I'm sorry.
01:00:04I'm sorry.
01:00:05I'm sorry.
01:00:06I'm sorry.
01:00:07I'm sorry.
01:00:08I'm sorry.
01:00:09I'm sorry.
01:00:10I'm sorry.
01:00:11Please.
01:00:12It's odd.
01:00:13But I feel strangely nostalgic this evening.
01:00:18Perhaps it's the idea of my son breaking free of me forever.
01:00:22I had no idea you were such a doting father.
01:00:26You don't know me.
01:00:28I know you better than you think.
01:00:33What did you want to talk to me about?
01:00:35Clara.
01:00:36I fear she's very much in love with you.
01:00:40Much more than I had realized.
01:00:42She doesn't know how to protect herself.
01:00:47What does she have to protect herself from?
01:00:52You.
01:00:54She doesn't know how to resist your kind.
01:00:57What kind am I?
01:01:00The kind that is proud.
01:01:05Clean.
01:01:08Oftentimes arrogant.
01:01:12Charming.
01:01:15Seducing.
01:01:18Seducing.
01:01:45Same.
01:01:49No.
01:01:50Nothing.
01:01:51Also can I vomit.
01:01:56See you right now?
01:01:57You don't know my ears.
01:01:58You don't know how to chase her or she goes off.
01:02:00Funny what's she going outside?
01:02:02There's not a kind of Το Toad video turning down on.
01:02:04ogre.
01:02:06Who does not think she going outside?
01:02:08But then.
01:02:10I do.
01:02:12Oh, my God.
01:02:42Oh, my God.
01:03:12Oh, my God.
01:03:42I'm here tonight on this very special occasion.
01:03:46Although the Salvadors have successfully wedded themselves to our serene republic in such short time, it is as though they've always been among us.
01:03:55Now, where is our hostess, Clara?
01:04:03Clara?
01:04:04Ah, there she is.
01:04:06Clara, in placing your daughter with one of Venice's oldest and most respected families, you have assured her happiness.
01:04:20Andrea, like his father, is full of integrity and honor.
01:04:27And Isabel, whose loyalty and devotion to her family has helped conspire this moment.
01:04:36Please join me in raising your glasses and wishing Victoria, Andrea and the Salvadors a long life in Venice.
01:04:45A long life in Venice.
01:04:47A long life in Venice.
01:05:26Did you write this?
01:05:38No, I did not.
01:05:41I wish I had.
01:05:47What are you going to do?
01:05:49Find out who did write the letter.
01:05:51I don't see how that's your concern.
01:05:53Shouldn't you be inquiring after the contents of the letter?
01:05:55Inciting hatred and false claims are serious crimes.
01:06:00More serious than crimes against the Republic.
01:06:06I see how you look at me and it pains me deeply.
01:06:10Thank you for coming at such short notice, Francesca.
01:06:13I was escorted here.
01:06:16And you shall be escorted back.
01:06:17I'll let you know.
01:06:21Why do you torture me still?
01:06:49I swear, I don't know anything.
01:07:07There's trunks in here.
01:07:09Clara, we have to go.
01:07:13What is it?
01:07:19What are they doing here?
01:07:23I wrote a letter last night telling everything about you.
01:07:34You did what?
01:07:36Don't let you go!
01:07:38Come with me!
01:07:42Clara...
01:07:44Don't let me work!
01:07:50Don't let me work!
01:07:54Don't let me work!
01:07:59I'm going to go to the house and the people!
01:08:01I want this place!
01:08:07Donna Isabel!
01:08:09You're planning on leading us?
01:08:11Why are these soldiers here?
01:08:13What are they looking for?
01:08:15Nothing, I hope.
01:08:17Nothing?
01:08:19Nothing that might confirm this letter.
01:08:21Your life depends on it.
01:08:29Isabel Benvenista is a liar and a witch.
01:08:41She means to betray you.
01:08:43You wear Venice, for Isabel Benvenista has no mercy.
01:08:47She will rob you of everything that you most treasure before your very eyes.
01:08:51Do not touch her money.
01:08:53It is polluted and will curse your shores.
01:08:57Already she uses it to set up business on the reality.
01:09:01Using men of influence to send merchandise aboard ships and galleys.
01:09:05She poses as an honest Christian.
01:09:07She is neither honest nor Christian.
01:09:10She may attend mass.
01:09:12In secret at home she still prays as a Jew.
01:09:16And it is as a Jew that she means to go on living in Istanbul.
01:09:22For Isabel Benvenista plans to steal the secret of Venetian glass making and sell it to the Ottomans.
01:09:29May I?
01:09:34Please.
01:09:35What are these?
01:09:37Prince Rupert drops.
01:09:39Yes.
01:09:40Exquisite.
01:09:44Made in Venice.
01:09:46They were a gift.
01:09:48I was such a great honor.
01:09:50They were a gift for me.
01:09:51They were a gift.
01:09:52Really?
01:09:53I'm going to go.
01:09:55I'm going to go.
01:09:56I'm going to go.
01:10:23Enough to hold a small ceremony.
01:10:29Every servant, every neighbour and friend.
01:10:33We will have to question them all.
01:10:36Attend the sister and her niece, Victoria.
01:10:40And bring Donna Isabel here, now.
01:10:45I have affairs of state to discuss with her.
01:10:53Do you know what I have to tell her?

01:10:59My wife is really going to try to hear her.
01:11:03I am a queen.
01:11:05I will try to see her.
01:11:07I will try to see her.

01:11:13I will try to see her.
01:11:15I will try to see her.
