Transcript
00:00:00With her, I felt safe from all the horrors that began to surround us.
00:00:06Two small wooden boxes with worn leather straps.
00:00:14One circumcision knife. Good condition.
00:00:30One circumcision knife.
00:00:38Isaac, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:00:48David, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:00:53David, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:01:01David, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

00:01:13Sarah, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:01:18Sarah, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
00:01:23I don't know.
00:01:53I don't know.
00:02:23I don't know.
00:02:24I don't know.
00:02:25I don't know.
00:02:26Amen.
00:02:27Keep this with you, always.
00:02:41Can I have to come with us?
00:02:42You have to be strong for Clara.
00:02:44You're old enough now, honestly.
00:02:46I promise.
00:02:48I don't know.
00:02:49I don't know.
00:02:50Don't pursue your mother in Mexico.
00:02:51Won't be wrong.
00:02:52Be good girls.
00:02:53Two of the three of them.
00:02:54Even when we were wrenched from our home and our family scattered, Isabel was there to comfort
00:03:03and console me.
00:03:04Our mother and father sent a son ahead.
00:03:07We would never see them again.
00:03:09Shel See you in hell.
00:03:10...
00:03:12...
00:03:14Holy father we are creating you with us, maker of man, in your own righteousness, we humbly
00:03:17pray to you, for this man and woman.
00:03:18Holy Father, creator of the universe, maker of man, in your own likeness, we humbly pray
00:03:34to you for this man and woman.
00:03:36After so much hardship, we had come only as far as Antwerp, where we settled and grew
00:03:40up.
00:03:41Isabel took control of family affairs.
00:03:44She arranged my marriage to Alfonso Salvador, a converted Jew like us.
00:03:49We lived as Catholics, but we never forgot who we really were.
00:04:00I gave birth to a baby girl, Victoria, and for a long time our family was happy, until
00:04:06one day the Inquisition burst upon us again.
00:04:13My husband died helping others.
00:04:21For many years he had been smuggling Jews beyond the reaches of Christendom to Istanbul.
00:04:28My daughter was only 13 years old, but now, like her mother and aunt before her, fatherless
00:04:34in this world.
00:04:38Once more we had to abandon our home.
00:04:42Our cousin Joseph stayed behind, promising to bring out others of our faith when he could.
00:04:46I was a widow at 31, and now the shadow of my husband's death fell between my sister and
00:05:08myself, dividing us for the first time.
00:05:10I want you to read this out to me.
00:05:14What is it?
00:05:16Alfonso's will.
00:05:21According to the law of our family, Salvador Benveniste, one single person shall be charged
00:05:26with the interests of all.
00:05:27Thus I entrust the Salvador fortune to my sister-in-law, Isabel, being the eldest living member.
00:05:33She inherits all our assets in Antwerp, Lyon, Frankfurt, and Venice.
00:05:39I also entrust Isabel, my daughter, Victoria.
00:05:46She will be her guardian until such time as Victoria's marriage.
00:05:49We were so rushed.
00:06:10These few trunks were all we could manage.
00:06:12Here, that's the important thing.
00:06:14Of course, but I'll only be happy when I see Joseph and the others here as well.
00:06:23And how long do you think before we'd be able to get a boat?
00:06:26A fortnight, maybe more.
00:06:29I'm in negotiations with some Turks.
00:06:32Thank you, Donato.
00:06:33I've been dreaming of our own passage to Isabel for so many years.
00:06:36You've made the right decision.
00:06:38Everyone says it's a haven for Jews.
00:06:40Are there no streets in Venice?
00:06:48Yes.
00:06:49Except sometimes at high tide.
00:06:52When I first arrived, what, 15 years ago, every piazza in Venice was underwater.
00:06:57And in all that time, you've never had any problems living here?
00:07:01Never.
00:07:01So long as you keep to yourself.
00:07:06They tolerate outsiders like us?
00:07:08If they believe we can bring them good business.
00:07:10For the most part, the converted Jews are welcome.
00:07:13If you break their trust, Venetians can be merciless.
00:07:16We've learned to be cautious.
00:07:17Some of the people Alfonso sent in the past have stayed on to help me.
00:07:31They're very discreet.
00:07:33You feel at ease with them.
00:07:35Has anyone asked you why we were here?
00:07:37Oh, I told them you were planning to settle.
00:07:40What, with Venetian and Turkish relations being so strained,
00:07:43I didn't think it would be wise to disclose your real intentions.
00:07:47Can I make this my room?
00:07:49Of course.
00:07:50Your mother agrees.
00:07:51There are some powerful Venetians you will have to meet.
00:07:54One of them, Count Foscari, the man who secured your permits,
00:07:57has already invited you to a ball.
00:08:00If it's not too much.
00:08:01I hope you accept it for us.
00:08:03I do.
00:08:04He expects to hear about your investments in Venice.
00:08:07Hmm.
00:08:13I can't find my shoes anywhere.
00:08:25Are these the ones?
00:08:27No, not those.
00:08:28We're probably left behind in Antwerp, like everything else.
00:08:30Sarah, please, we'll be late.
00:08:32We haven't even got the right clothes.
00:08:34I don't think anybody's going to notice we're in mourning.
00:08:36All the more reason to make our excuses.
00:08:38I don't know why you feel we have to go to this ball.
00:08:40What am I going to say if someone asks after Alfonso?
00:08:44I don't think you need me to tell you.
00:08:45Or Victoria, if someone asks her where her father is.
00:08:47I have a word with her, if you like.
00:08:49Now, I'll talk to her.
00:08:50As you wish.
00:08:52After all, I am her mother.
00:08:53It's only right that I should be concerned for my daughter.
00:08:56Or should I now behave differently toward her?
00:08:58You're still upset by Alfonso's will, aren't you?
00:09:00I'm not upset.
00:09:01It's just a piece of paper.
00:09:02Nothing's changed.
00:09:03I'm really concerned for my daughter.
00:09:05Besides, I don't know how anyone can describe a will as just a piece of paper.
00:09:10Count and Countess Foscombe.
00:09:26Count Foscombe.
00:09:27Donna Isabel and her sister Clara Salvador and her daughter Victoria.
00:09:32I'm honored.
00:09:33The privilege is ours.
00:09:35Having heard about you all these years, I'm delighted at last to make your acquaintance.
00:09:39My condolences on your husband.
00:09:42Allow me to introduce the people in Osirio of Venice.
00:09:45For eminence.
00:09:45Isabel.
00:09:46Isabel.
00:09:46Thanks, dear.
00:10:11Well, they've arrived with all their money.
00:10:20What are they like?
00:10:21Quite agreeable.
00:10:23You see the one lingering next to the Turkish ambassador?
00:10:27Well, that's the younger sister Clara.
00:10:29Pretty, isn't she?
00:10:30Husband.
00:10:31Recently deceased.
00:10:33No woman should be left alone for long.
00:10:34Well, I wish you luck.
00:10:37These convents can be quite unpredictable, you know.
00:10:40Like all women.
00:10:41Em, if you are successful, would you kindly let me know their plans?
00:10:46I didn't acquire their permits so that they could go over to the Ottomans with all their holdings.
00:10:54Signor Sane.
00:10:54De Monte, what a pleasure.
00:10:57May I introduce Donna Isabel?
00:11:00I'm honoured.
00:11:02And her sister, Clara Salvador.
00:11:06May I invite you to dance?
00:11:15Simple, simple, double, double.
00:11:17Is it your business to know people's names before you've been introduced, Signor Sane?
00:11:44It's my nature.
00:11:48And has your nature ever let you down?
00:12:08De Monte speaks very highly of you.
00:12:12What does he say?
00:12:14If I told you, you might accuse me of trying to flatter you.
00:12:19Then you'd better not to appease it.
00:12:25Try this one.
00:12:26What is it?
00:12:27Red wine.
00:12:29Strange question.
00:12:30I meant what kind?
00:12:31Well, what kind do you like?
00:12:33Do they not drink wine where you come from?
00:12:35Of course they do.
00:12:35There are people for whom wine is forbidden because of their religion.
00:12:38Yes, sir.
00:12:39Noble ladies and noble gentlemen.
00:12:51In honour of our Turkish ambassador and for his sultan,
00:12:55a gift to celebrate this rare occasion.
00:12:59For our friendship and for our mutual dependence.
00:13:02Long may we live in peace and prosperity.
00:13:06It never hurts to flatter your enemies.
00:13:22Is that why you reward them with such priceless gifts?
00:13:25Just a gentle reminder that they can never reproduce glass such beauty.
00:13:29And then come flying out of his mouth.
00:13:42You haven't introduced us.
00:13:44Donna Clara Salvador, Miss Francesca Durazza.
00:13:47You're newly arrived in Venice?
00:13:49Yes, from Antoine.
00:13:51Of course, your clothes are so refreshingly plain.
00:13:54Mrs. Salvador is in mourning.
00:13:56My deepest condolences.
00:13:58Forgive me.
00:13:59There is nothing to forgive.
00:14:01Excuse me.
00:14:02Until we meet again.
00:14:07Victoria, that's quite enough wine.
00:14:09We're leaving.
00:14:10Say goodnight.
00:14:11But will you not let her finish her glass?
00:14:13It'll have to be for another time.
00:14:16Donna Isabel, you're not leaving us.
00:14:18I'm afraid we're still not fully recovered from our journey.
00:14:20You must call on me soon.
00:14:22You've already done so much, boss.
00:14:24Well, I can do so much more.
00:14:25You will call on me.
00:14:26I will.
00:14:27Goodnight.
00:14:28Goodnight.
00:14:28Goodnight.
00:14:29Goodnight.
00:14:39I'm having difficulty negotiating with the Turks about your boat.
00:14:43How much are they asking for?
00:14:45It's not money they're interested in.
00:14:47What do they want?
00:14:49Oh, they're obsessed with the wonders of Venetian glass.
00:14:52It's like a thorn in the Sultan's foot.
00:14:56What do they expect us to do about it?
00:14:58Well, they had some idea that you might use your influence to help them.
00:15:03How would I do that?
00:15:04Oh, it's dangerous.
00:15:06It's dangerous.
00:15:07But convince someone to betray the secrets of Venetian glass to them.
00:15:11Then they will give you safe passage.
00:15:19Isabel for Count Foscari?
00:15:21Please go through.
00:15:22You're expected.
00:15:22Donna Isabel
00:15:36what a pleasure it is to see you again
00:15:38and hire your charming sister
00:15:41and niece

00:15:50and we shall do everything in our power
00:15:52to assist you
00:15:52as you settle a morass
00:15:54how reassuring
00:15:55DeMonte and I have already started to discuss
00:15:58the various ways in which I might be of service to you
00:16:00all you have to do is to
00:16:02indicate to me
00:16:04what your interests are
00:16:05pepper, spices, silk
00:16:07there was something that caught my eye the other night

00:16:21Donna Isabel
00:16:22you have discovered
00:16:24our most prized commodity
00:16:27and although traditionally
00:16:29it has always been restricted to those of us
00:16:31of Venetian birth
00:16:33I'm certain that once you become a false citizen
00:16:35I would very much like to learn more about it
00:16:37and so you shall
00:16:39in the meantime
00:16:41is there anything else that struck you
00:16:43something a little less fragile

00:16:52your intention is to consolidate your business interests
00:16:55here in Venice
00:16:56that is your intention
00:16:58is it not?
00:16:59of course
00:17:00good
00:17:01then
00:17:03I would suggest
00:17:06an investment
00:17:08in cargo space
00:17:09on two ships
00:17:10you would receive a return rate
00:17:13of 15%
00:17:14in the past
00:17:17we received twice that amount
00:17:19very well then
00:17:2230%
00:17:23in five ships
00:17:25I'm sure 150,000 ducats

00:17:30on your resources

00:17:35to go any higher

00:17:56such a large investment here
00:17:57I don't intend to
00:17:59if we give in to Foscary's demands
00:18:00we'll be trapped here forever
00:18:01no
00:18:03I'll have to find a way
00:18:05to give the Turks what they want
00:18:07so that we can leave
00:18:07as soon as possible
00:18:08let nothing escape you

00:19:48Hernán Vázquez
00:19:50an assistant glassmaker
00:19:51on the island of Murano
00:19:52talking about selling
00:19:53the secrets of our most
00:19:55venerated industry
00:19:56to foreigners
00:19:56I write this letter
00:19:58with no thought of profit
00:19:59to myself

00:20:51come
00:20:52come
00:21:22Oh, well, do you know, signor Zane?
00:21:52Not well.
00:21:55I know that he comes from an old family riddled with debt.
00:21:59The name still holds sway in the courts.
00:22:03And he said he can be bought.
00:22:06He also has a reputation as a ladies' man.
00:22:08Can he be approached?
00:22:11I believe he might be persuaded to help us.
00:22:14Would you like me to try?
00:22:16Of course.
00:22:17We can never have too many friends.
00:22:22Upon receiving an anonymous letter on the third day of June, 1518,
00:22:33with charges of the selling of state secrets
00:22:36and bribery of public officials,
00:22:38the Council of Ten has issued an arrest warrant for Hernan Vasquez,
00:22:42who will be sentenced by the highest authorities.
00:22:52Find Hernan Vasquez and bring him.
00:22:57I understand you went to a ball the other night.
00:23:00How was it?
00:23:02I don't remember.
00:23:03You don't remember?
00:23:05Meeting any nice people?
00:23:07No.
00:23:08Oh, I can't believe that.
00:23:10A pretty girl like you, so clever, so talented.
00:23:14How many languages did you say you spoke?
00:23:17Five.
00:23:18But I've never really spoken French.
00:23:21So it doesn't count?
00:23:23Oh, you're here.
00:23:28The doctor's still with Victoria.
00:23:30What doctor?
00:23:31Didn't you send for one?
00:23:33No.
00:23:34Well, somebody did.
00:23:35He's from the ghetto.
00:23:36I thought it must be new.
00:23:37I didn't send for anyone.
00:23:39My sister, Isabel.
00:23:42My name is Ruben Montillo.
00:23:45Signor Zane asked me to look in on your niece, Victoria.
00:23:48Is she all right?
00:23:50Oh, she's fine.
00:23:51Minor stomach upset.
00:23:53Nothing serious.
00:23:56I'll go and see you.
00:23:57Goodbye.
00:24:01I told her to stay away from sweet wines.
00:24:04Well, they make better poisons.
00:24:08Yes.
00:24:09It is an honor to make your acquaintance, Judith Benveniste.
00:24:15How did you come to know my name?
00:24:17Well, his, things.
00:24:19I know the good you are doing, the lives you have saved.
00:24:23I thought people in the ghetto would find it difficult to understand us.
00:24:26It's better they don't know.
00:24:29I would very much like to.
00:24:31Oh, no, no, no.
00:24:32Signor Zane has already been very generous.
00:24:34Well, how can I thank you?
00:24:35She just promised to call on me.
00:24:37You should ever need my services.
00:24:39I will.
00:24:40Thank you again.
00:24:41Oh, my dear.
00:24:42Oh, my dear.
00:24:43Oh, my dear.
00:24:44Oh, my dear.
00:24:51Thoughtful people these Venetians need.
00:24:53Either that or seeing Azalea as has his eye on you?
00:24:58Renan Vasquez, you have been found guilty of trading secrets of glassmaking to the infidel
00:25:04and forsaking the trust of our serene state.
00:25:08Denounced by your fellow men and revealed before God as you are,
00:25:13we release you into his hands for his eternal judgment.
00:25:28The Monte, come in, come in.
00:25:53Ah, Signor Zane.
00:25:55Tell me, how did Clara Salvador lose her husband?
00:25:59An accident. He fell from his horse.
00:26:01How unfortunate for her.
00:26:04Still, she's well provided for.
00:26:06Oh, sit, please.
00:26:11And Victoria, what age did you say she was?
00:26:16Oh, 14, I should think.
00:26:18Or 15, I'm not quite sure.
00:26:20And she's not yet engaged?
00:26:21No.
00:26:21But I do know they intend to marry her here in Venice.
00:26:26You do?
00:26:28How do you know that?
00:26:29Oh, I wasn't told exactly in so many words.
00:26:31No, Donna Isabel asked me to help prepare a Venetian dowry for her niece.
00:26:36Really?
00:26:37And what have you suggested?
00:26:40She was thinking of a glasswork.
00:26:45Unfortunately, that has not been easy to arrange.
00:26:48Of course.
00:26:49You haven't been said an easy task, have you, De Monte?
00:26:52No, I don't.
00:26:54Well, try not to concern yourself too much.
00:26:57Perhaps I can do something to help.
00:27:02It's time my son did something with his life.
00:27:04Clara.
00:27:23Clara!
00:27:25Hello.
00:27:26What's happening?
00:27:27We can't see a thing.
00:27:27Come, come.
00:27:28I'll show you quick.
00:27:31What are they doing here?
00:27:42They've come from Rome to bless the fish.
00:27:44Amen.
00:28:14I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:28:44Just one moment.
00:28:55I take him from here.
00:28:58Do you realize what you've done?
00:29:01You've been a bad boy, and you're going to be punished.
00:29:07Don't come back here.
00:29:08Go!
00:29:14Thank you for sending a doctor for Victoria.
00:29:20I'm glad she's feeling better.
00:29:22Why did you give that boy a coin?
00:29:24Did I?
00:29:25I saw you.
00:29:27Well, the fathers will take it off him later.
00:29:29The church gets everything in the end, almost.
00:29:32Is that why everyone was laughing?
00:29:34We're Venetians first, Christians second.
00:29:37We believe in San Marco, a bitten god, hardly at all in the Pope.
00:29:44What language are they speaking?
00:29:51Ladino, your mother used to speak it when she was little, like all Jews in Spain.
00:29:55I thought Jews weren't allowed in Venice.
00:29:57Oh, yes, they are.
00:29:58They just have to live in the ghetto.
00:30:00Oh, can I see it?
00:30:10There are so many people.
00:30:12There are so many people.
00:30:14Isn't that where Dr. Rubin lives?
00:30:17Yes, it is.
00:30:19Can we go in?
00:30:20No.
00:30:21It's forbidden.
00:30:34Why do they keep the glasswork so far out?
00:30:37Well, it's easier to protect them from unwanted visitors.
00:30:39And there have been so many fires.
00:30:42The last one almost destroyed Venice.
00:30:44I feel privileged that you have chosen to take us.
00:30:47Why?
00:30:48You're one of us.
00:30:55Come.
00:30:57Let me start by showing you a little piece of magic I learned long ago.
00:31:01And now the mystery.
00:31:13You can hit this glass as hard as you like, but it won't break.
00:31:21Stand back, please.
00:31:23Watch your eyes.
00:31:23Victoria coming on.
00:31:26And as if by a miracle.
00:31:28Ah!
00:31:29What is that?
00:31:32A Prince Rupert's drop.
00:31:34May I have a look around?
00:31:35Of course.
00:31:36Of course.
00:31:36It must take years to arrive at such perfection.
00:31:51Yes, and a lot of patience, too.
00:31:53When molten the glass is alive, you must understand its nature.
00:31:57It's a question of mixture, color, heat, smell also.
00:32:03How do you know when the glass is hot enough?
00:32:04Well, that's very difficult for me to explain.
00:32:06The glass tells me.
00:32:08I feel it.
00:32:09I can't explain with words.
00:32:14I know of many places where your skills are envied and appreciated.
00:32:18Of course.
00:32:19It takes several lifetimes to learn a craft such as ours.
00:32:22Such a skill could be highly rewarded.
00:32:25I hope we can talk further.
00:32:34Victoria is full of intelligence and candor, like her mother.
00:32:43I can think of many Venetians who would be glad to welcome her to their family.
00:32:46She is still very young.
00:32:48That is the right age to marry.
00:32:50The Salvadors are a distinguished family.
00:33:00Donna Isabel would be willing to pay an exceptional price for the glassworks.
00:33:03But what would prevent her from selling our knowledge of glassmaking to foreigners?
00:33:07You'd only be encouraging her to take her affairs elsewhere.
00:33:10Not if her niece were wed in Venice.
00:33:12And who would marry this fortunate heiress?
00:33:14It's every father's duty to see his son well-married.
00:33:18God bless you.
00:33:19And you.
00:33:20Good day.
00:33:23Why are you thinking of your son, Andrea?
00:33:27He's a limited boy.
00:33:28It's the best I can do for him.
00:33:31Tread carefully, Zane.
00:33:33Are you sure it's the right family?
00:33:36Donna Isabel made a commitment to me that she seems reluctant to keep.
00:33:39Perhaps she's just being cautious.
00:33:42Scheming, more like.
00:33:42I think you'll find the Salvadors are less calculating than you would imagine.
00:33:47The younger sister, Clara, is quite a delicate creature.
00:33:50Delicate?
00:33:53You're not becoming sentimental, are you, Zane?
00:33:55You of all people.
00:33:57Delicate, you say?
00:34:05Stunning.
00:34:09Oh, so beautiful.
00:34:12I long for news of you.
00:34:27You would do me a great honour by being a guest in my humble country estate.
00:34:32Your devoted servant, Al-Azani.
00:34:35May I?
00:34:40Yes.
00:34:45There are five ways of sharpening a quill.
00:34:47Use the first to send me your news.
00:34:52The second to tell me you accept my invitation.
00:34:56The third to tell me when I shall have the pleasure of seeing you.
00:35:02The fourth to tell me it will be tomorrow.
00:35:06Do not use the fifth.
00:35:07It is intended only for rejections and unkindness.
00:35:11Whatever you do, don't use this quill.
00:35:21Samé, he's been very kind to us.
00:35:23You are fond of him, aren't you?
00:35:24Yes.
00:35:25And you trust him.
00:35:27When is the invitation for?
00:35:29Not until Saturday.
00:35:30Good.
00:35:31Plenty of time to buy some new clothes.
00:35:33It's just right.
00:35:45You're perfect.
00:35:47One might almost mistake you for being Venetian.
00:36:05Good afternoon, ladies.
00:36:07Count Fosco.
00:36:10Donna Isabel.
00:36:11A word, if I may.
00:36:13I'll join you in a moment.
00:36:16I, um, I had hoped that you might have settled my account by now.
00:36:22I shall speak to De Monte.
00:36:24Remember, the laws in Venice are very strict
00:36:27concerning trade and security agreements.
00:36:31Pays to conform.
00:36:32The penalty can be quite severe.
00:36:35Thank you for the reminder.
00:36:37Good day, Count Fosco.
00:36:39Donna Isabel.
00:36:40Hello.

00:39:36Hello.
00:39:37Hello.
00:39:38Hello.
00:39:39Hello.
00:39:40Hello.

00:39:51Hello.
00:39:52Hello.
00:39:53Hello.
00:39:54Hello.
00:39:55Hello.
00:39:56Hello.
00:39:57And in the end, take more and pour it over the dish, slowly, and see if it's come up.
00:40:03How do you know all this?
00:40:05My grandmother taught me.
00:40:07That's her grandmother taught her.
00:40:09I can't be away from the glassworks for too long.
00:40:29Do you realise how difficult this decision is for me?
00:40:32Of course. But do you accept our terms?
00:40:35Your offer is generous. But if I accept it, I'll be putting everything at risk.
00:40:39And glassmaking's not only my work, it's my life.
00:40:42I understand. You'll have everything you need when we get to Istanbul.
00:40:46You will have your own glassworks. I give you my word.
00:40:50The terms are agreeable to me.
00:40:55Do you miss your old life?
00:40:57No. Hardly at all. Especially now.
00:41:00It wasn't difficult at first.
00:41:02It's always hard when you're escaping the past.
00:41:04You advance with your head turned back for a while.
00:41:07And then things start to change.
00:41:09When you summon up your memories one by one, you find your home is no longer what it was.
00:41:14Your daughter is grown up. Your sister is a different sister.
00:41:20My marriage was arranged by Isabel. I was never in love with Alfonso.
00:41:30Sometimes I think he married me so that he could be closer to her.
00:41:35Your sister was never engaged.
00:41:37No. She's always had to look out for the rest of us.
00:41:40She was never free to live as others do. She never really had a childhood.
00:41:44I want to give Victoria the happiness that she deserves.
00:41:52She will find it here.
00:41:57In Venice.
00:41:59Finally, it seems we're going to be leaving very shortly.
00:42:09Really?
00:42:10It's good news, isn't it?
00:42:12Do you really think it's a good idea?
00:42:14What?
00:42:15Maybe we should stay a little longer and see how things turn out.
00:42:18I mean, we don't know anything about Istanbul.
00:42:21And Venice has been kind to us.
00:42:24What happened with you and Zani today?
00:42:30Nothing.
00:42:33We just talked.
00:42:35About what?
00:42:36Oh, I don't know.
00:42:37All kinds of things.
00:42:40Life.
00:42:42Venice.
00:42:44Future.
00:42:49He even suggested Victoria should marry Andrea.
00:42:51Clara, I think it would be better if you don't see Zani anymore.
00:42:56I thought you liked him.
00:42:58The Turks have agreed to send us a boat.
00:43:00We're leaving Venice.
00:43:21What?
00:43:22Let's read.
00:43:23She will need another wonderful boat.
00:43:24She will have a wonderful boat.
00:43:25She is probably the most good and wonderful boat.
00:43:27She will have about two people in her house.
00:43:28She is our γ AUGUS everyday.
00:43:30She is a good-looking boat.
00:43:31It's a good-looking boat.
00:43:33She's a good-looking boat.
00:43:34If you look on the boat, she is a good-looking boat.
00:43:35She is very happy.
00:43:36LoD Trek is a great boat.
00:43:38And he will be very merry boat.
00:43:40She can't wake me up for some time.
00:43:42She is a good-looking boat for me?
00:43:44Yes, she is.
00:43:45She is very happy.
00:43:46She is very happy.
00:43:47I don't know.
00:44:17Oh, my God.
00:44:47Oh, my God.
00:45:17What are you doing here, all of them?
00:45:19What are you doing here?
00:45:20Are you hungry?
00:45:21No.
00:45:22Are you hungry?
00:45:32No.
00:45:33No.
00:45:34It was nice to see you so nice, wasn't it?
00:45:43Victoria?
00:45:44What?
00:45:45Why don't you answer me?
00:45:46I was asking your opinion.
00:45:47I heard you.
00:45:48I'm tired.
00:45:49I'm going to bed.
00:45:50I'm going to bed.
00:45:51I'm going to bed.
00:45:52Are you sure she was with him?
00:45:53They were a stone's throw away from me.
00:45:54Anybody could have seen them.
00:45:55She could have at least have concealed it.
00:45:56I'd better have a word with her.
00:45:57I'd better have a word with her.
00:45:58I'd better have a word with her.
00:45:59I'd better have a word with her.
00:46:00I'd better have a word with her.
00:46:01I'd better have a word with her.
00:46:02I'd better have a word with her.
00:46:08Clara?
00:46:09Have you lost your mind?
00:46:10Why?
00:46:11You were seeing me.
00:46:12I'd better have a word with her.
00:46:15Clara?
00:46:16Have you lost your mind?
00:46:21Why?
00:46:25You were seeing me.
00:46:30I'd better have a word with her.

00:46:59because all Zane has ever wanted from us is to secure a dowry for his son he's after our money
00:47:06will you stop thinking about yourself and think about your daughter Victoria is my daughter and
00:47:12she will do as her mother sees fit the will makes me her guardian I'll contest the will

00:47:23whoever I want to see but we're leaving Victoria will marry Andrea and I will stay here to be with her
00:47:53we could never have a life here
00:48:22can you imagine what it would mean to us if we stayed we would have to live as Catholics we do
00:48:30live as Catholics do we not attend mass do we not take communion and go to confession like all other
00:48:36Catholics however we might behave to them we can only ever be one thing Jews Jews what kind of Jews
00:48:43I mean what kind of Jews do you think we are tell me what kind of Jews are forbidden to enter a
00:48:47synagogue what kind of Jews share their table with the same people who chase them from their homes what
00:48:50are going to Jews allow themselves to be baptized to kind of want to survive that's why we're going so
00:48:56that we can be Jews
00:49:26...
00:49:54Victoria, what are you doing here?
00:50:16I was looking for you, Dr. Rubin.
00:50:18Don't make me go back.
00:50:20I don't want to marry Andrea.
00:50:22Andrea?
00:50:22Paolo's auntie's son.
00:50:24Oh, yes, yes, I know who he is.
00:50:26What is the wrong with Andrea that he's got you in such a state?
00:50:28What did he do?
00:50:29Nothing.
00:50:30I just don't want to marry you.
00:50:32I doubt very much your mother or your aunt would ever make it something that wasn't in your best interest.
00:50:38My dear.
00:50:41Who is she?
00:50:42It's not important.
00:50:44She's not from here.
00:50:44No, she needs my help.
00:50:46You want to help her send her away?
00:50:47It's not right that she should be here.
00:50:49No, she's my responsibility.
00:50:50Not when she's among us.
00:50:52What do you think I should do about Clara?
00:51:10How can I make her see?
00:51:11Have her believe we support her for now.
00:51:15The less trouble, the better while we're waiting for the boat.
00:51:18When can we expect to leave?
00:51:19I think within a month.
00:51:23I was hoping you'd say a week.
00:51:25Farrah.
00:51:26Laura?
00:51:56I love you I know we both want what's best for the family it's just that with

00:55:40that the
00:56:03Donna Isabel.
00:56:13Filled me with joy to see these two young people together.
00:56:21There's nothing so fragile, so uncertain,
00:56:23as a union logic constantly.
00:56:26Don't you agree?
00:56:29I'll be able to settle our agreement by the end of the week.
00:56:33Thank you very much.
00:56:48There's an underwater channel.
00:56:50You'll have to swim with it to get inside.
00:56:53He'll be waiting for you.
00:56:56There shouldn't be any guards there.
00:57:03There shouldn't be any guards.
00:57:08There should be any guards.
00:57:11Under the arch.
00:57:16I feel like it's the water.
00:57:20Under the arch.
00:57:20Under the arch.
00:57:21Under the arch.
00:57:21Under the arch.
00:57:22Let's go.
00:57:52We've been followed. I'll have to warn Joseph. Wait here.
00:58:22I'll have to warn Joseph.
00:58:52Your sister is transformed. To what or to whom do we owe such dazzling beauty?
00:59:00It's the happiness of others. She's happy for Victoria. She's happy for all of us.
00:59:05She's happy for all of us.
00:59:07Dona Isabel, how are you? Fine, thank you. I would like very much to speak to you.
00:59:11My pleasure. In private.
00:59:13Will you excuse me for a moment? Of course.
00:59:15We must go. Monte's been caught.
00:59:23Quickly.
00:59:25Please.
00:59:37Please.
00:59:38It's odd, but I feel strangely nostalgic this evening. Perhaps it's the idea of my son breaking free of me forever.
00:59:56I had no idea you were such a doting father.
01:00:01You don't know me.
01:00:04I know you better than you think.
01:00:05What did you want to talk to me about?
01:00:11Clara.
01:00:13I fear she's very much in love with you.
01:00:16Much more than I had realized.
01:00:20She doesn't know how to protect herself.
01:00:22What does she have to protect herself from?
01:00:28You.
01:00:30She doesn't know how to resist your kind.
01:00:33What kind am I?
01:00:37The kind that is proud.
01:00:42Clean.
01:00:45Oftentimes arrogant.
01:00:49Charming.
01:00:52Seduce them.
01:01:22How was it?
01:01:26What kind of garbage?
01:01:40What kind of garbage?
01:01:46Oh, my God.
01:02:16Oh, my God.
01:02:46Oh, my God.
01:03:16To be here tonight on this very special occasion.
01:03:21Although the Salvadors have successfully wedded themselves to our serene republic in such short time, it is as though they've always been among us.
01:03:30Now, where is our hostess, Clara?
01:03:38Clara?
01:03:39Ah, there she is.
01:03:41Clara, in placing your daughter with one of Venice's oldest and most respected families, you have assured her happiness.
01:03:55Andrea, like his father, is full of integrity and honor.
01:04:02And Isabel, whose loyalty and devotion to her family has helped conspire this moment.
01:04:11Please join me in raising your glasses and wishing Victoria, Andrea and the Salvadors a long life in Venice.
01:04:20A long life in Venice!
01:04:22A long life in Venice!
01:05:07Did you write this?
01:05:13No, I did not.
01:05:16I lost your hands.
01:05:17What are you going to do?
01:05:24Find out who did write the letter.
01:05:26I don't see how that's your concern.
01:05:28Shouldn't you be inquiring after the contents of the letter?
01:05:31Inciting hatred and false claims are serious crimes.
01:05:35More serious than crimes against the Republic?
01:05:37I see how you look at me, and it pains me deeply.
01:05:45Thank you for coming at such short notice, Francesca.
01:05:48I was escorted here.
01:05:51And you shall be escorted back.
01:05:52I was escorted back.
01:06:22As you told her, I still...
01:06:24I swear, I don't know anything.
01:06:29Oh, no!
01:06:34Ah!
01:06:35Ah!
01:06:41Jacob's trunks in here.
01:06:44Clara, we have to go.
01:06:48What is it?
01:06:54What are they doing here?
01:06:55I wrote a letter last night, telling everything about you.
01:07:09You did what?
01:07:13Donna, you've got to get with me.
01:07:17Clara.
01:07:18Clara.
01:07:18You're right.
01:07:42Donna Isabel.
01:07:43I'm going to the left. Follow me!
01:08:13Isabel Benvenista is a liar and witch.
01:08:16She means to betray you.
01:08:18You wear Venice for Isabel Benvenista has no mercy.
01:08:22She will rob you of everything that you most treasure before your very eyes.
01:08:27Do not touch her money.
01:08:29It is polluted and will curse your shores.
01:08:32Already she uses it to set up business on the reality,
01:08:35using men of influence to send merchandise aboard ships and galleys.
01:08:40She poses as an honest Christian.
01:08:43She is neither honest nor Christian.
01:08:46She may attend mass.
01:08:48In secret at home she still prays as a Jew.
01:08:52And it is as a Jew that she means to go on living in Istanbul.
01:08:57For Isabel Benvenista plans to steal the secret of Venetian glass making
01:09:02and sell it to the Ottomans.
01:09:05May I?
01:09:07Please.
01:09:10What are these?
01:09:12Prince Rupert drops.
01:09:14Yes.
01:09:15Exquisite.
01:09:17Made in Venice.
01:09:20They were a gift.
01:09:22Really.
01:09:24They are the people.
01:09:25Really?
01:09:26What are you doing?
01:09:27Are they crying?
01:09:28OK.

01:13:56I failed us.
01:13:57I failed you.
01:13:59I failed us all.
01:14:11Listen to me.
01:14:13Foscary's holding Victoria somewhere.
01:14:16Find her and leave Venice.
01:14:19I don't know.
01:14:22Ask Zané.
01:14:23Find her and then go.
01:14:26Everything's been prepared.
01:14:31Here.
01:14:32Take this.
01:14:35It's your responsibility now.
01:14:36Don't worry about me.
01:14:40I have my own understanding with Foscary.
01:14:43Here we go.
01:14:54Here we go.
01:14:54This is your best friend.
01:14:57Here we go.
01:14:58Here we go.
01:14:59Please don't find yourself.
01:15:02Oh, dear.
01:15:04Oh, my God.
01:15:34I can't do anything for you.
01:16:01It's not in my power.
01:16:02I didn't come for me.
01:16:05I came for Victoria.
01:16:09I'm sorry.
01:16:10It's out of my hands.
01:16:12You must know where they've taken her.
01:16:14Your sister crossed Foscary.
01:16:17Paolo.
01:16:18There's nothing I can do.
01:16:22Nothing.
01:16:23I never wanted to fall in love with you.
01:16:31It happened despite myself.
01:16:34Despite Victoria.
01:16:35I was prepared to give up my whole life for you.
01:16:41I was about to take my daughter away from everything she knew when I had no right.
01:16:44And then when I saw you in that room, you must know what that meant.
01:16:55Do you feel nothing for me?
01:17:06They've taken away my daughter.
01:17:09She's being kept close to Venice.
01:17:18Where?
01:17:20Somewhere safe.
01:17:23Don't make me beg.
01:17:25The convent at San Michele.
01:17:36Clara.
01:17:47Don't come back here.
01:17:57They'll be looking for you.
01:17:59Be careful.
01:18:07Let's go.
01:18:29Let's go.
01:18:37Let's go.
01:18:51Let's go.
01:18:55Let's go.
01:18:56Victoria, Victoria, are you well?
01:19:18You look pale.
01:19:26Please say something.
01:19:30Why did you come?
01:19:39Because we're going to get you out of here.
01:19:42They'll never let me go.
01:19:45You have to trust me. I promise you.
01:19:56I'm going to get you out of here.
01:19:59You're ready for that.
01:20:02I'm ready for that.
01:20:04I'll take a look and see.
01:20:07I'm ready for that.
01:20:08I will not have a good day.
01:20:11I'll take a look and see.
01:20:13I'll take a look and see.
01:20:14Oh, Joseph!
01:20:28You're safe now.
01:20:31Come with me.
01:20:44Where is she?
01:21:03Who?
01:21:05Victoria.
01:21:07Tell me where she is.
01:21:11Tell me.
01:21:14I have nothing to say.
01:21:18My family is safe.
01:21:21Burn me, if you like.
01:21:27We don't burn Jews in Venice.
01:21:44Let's go.
01:21:45I'm full of soldiers in Venice.
01:21:50Let's go.
01:21:5148-11-
01:21:594-
01:22:005-
01:22:03Oh, my God.
01:22:33Life and death are two sisters as one,
01:22:57that which is forever joined and cannot be separated.
01:23:00As life giving and death taking away.
01:23:05As life supports life and death crashes asunder.
01:23:11Oh, my God.
01:23:17Oh, my God.
01:23:21Oh, my God.
01:23:27Oh, my God.
01:23:29Oh, my God.
01:23:31Oh, my God.
01:23:39Oh, my God.
01:23:41Oh, my God.
01:24:01Oh, my God.
01:24:13Oh, my God.
01:24:17Oh, my God.
01:24:38Ever after, I would wonder what my sister might have said about this journey, which had begun so long ago.
01:24:45Had we really survived?
01:24:47Or had our family been shattered beyond all hope of repair?
01:24:50I imagined her saying that death hadn't broken us, but it helped keep us together.
01:24:56Oh, my God.
