Magellan (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Big sister Loa, big sister Loa!

I saw a white man!

- Are you certain, Nafea?

- Yes.

He was standing very close.

Right in front of me.

The promise of the gods

of our ancestors is upon us!

The promise of the gods

of our ancestors is upon us!

The promise of the gods

of our ancestors is upon us!

The promise of the gods

of our ancestors is upon us!

The God of Water has spoken!

- Praise be unto him!

- Praise be unto him!

God of Water!

Praise be unto him!

MAGELLAN

Ferdinand!

Ferdinand.

It seems we have won!

I looked for you everywhere!

That wound seems dire.

Come on!

Wait wait

Can you walk?

Be vigilant

Be vigilant

Be vigilant

Be vigilant

Be vigilant

What do you think, Duarte?

We've been betrayed, it's a m*ssacre!

We must go up the hill!

Captain Albuquerque is surrounded

by the Sultan's troops.

We're preparing the rest of the caravels

and every Portuguese man

must go to his aid.

How long do we have?

I'm afraid it might already be too late.

Understood.

Duarte!

Help! I need help!

Help!

I need help!

Captain-major Sequeira is alive.

He escaped.

But they took Francisco

and the others as hostages.

Where did they go?

In that direction.

- Duarte!

- Yes.

Stay with Gaspar. Wait for the others!

How do you feel?

They will be here soon.

We should leave, brothers,

as fast as we can!

Leave them.

Francisco!

Hold on

Don't waste your time.

I am at my limit, Ferdinand.

Francisco, come!

Don't die, you b*stard.

Don't die.

That's it

All dead Forgive me

Everyone is dead.

- Captain Ferdinand!

- Yes, sire.

Start cleaning this village

of these nefarious dead!

Yes, sire.

After speaking with our men,

as per our orders,

we shall start the construction

of our fort

of our fortress

Yes, sire.

Malacca, at last.

This territorial conquest is,

to this day, the furthest away

made by any Christian.

This is the dream of King Manuel,

the conquest of Malacca.

All hail King Manuel!

Hail King Manuel! Hail King Manuel!

As in Cochin, as in Goa,

we are far more advanced

than the Castilians,

the Turks,

the Dutch,

the English,

the Persians.

- All hail Portugal!

- Hail Portugal!

After Cochin and Goa,

and now Malacca,

our next objective will be Aden.

I can guarantee you

that I will conquer Aden.

Once Aden has been conquered,

I will build

a fortress

and we will be able

to suffocate the entire world!

The commercial routes will be

under our command, under our control.

And Venice

shall bow before us,

begging for its life.

Medina and Mecca

will become remote deserts,

and Islam

will finally disappear.

It shall sink

into the deepest depths of the Earth.

Then we shall be prepared

for the second coming

of Jesus Christ.

Because once Islam

has perished

Christianity will be eternal

and the end of the world imminent.

Let us prepare for the end of the world.

Let us prepare for judgement day.

Hail Albuquerque! Hail Albuquerque!

King Manuel

says it all the time:

"My dear Afonso,

if we conquer the straits

of Malacca,

if we conquer Malacca

if we conquer Malacca,

we can halt

Muslim commerce."

That is why we stand here,

because of his wish,

for the Muslim merchants,

their spices,

their goods, their idiotic ships

to be unable to pass through here.

We shall strangle

the vital strength

of Cairo,

of Mecca

I'm going for a walk, I feel indisposed.

Dom Albuquerque

has approved our plans for Ternate.

I will install our headquarters there.

I will work with the Sultan,

I will convince the other islands

to trade with me.

Ah! That's great.

King Manuel and Dom Albuquerque

shall become even richer

As will we,

we shall become richer ourselves.

My friend,

you must start to focus on our plans.

Because your golden islands await you.

I am very, very focused on our plans

Dom Albuquerque,

Governor of India,

Viceroy

You know

these

Viceroys, these governors,

these sultans

they need us more

than we need them.

Duarte!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Where are you?

You idiot Sun God,

where are you?

Help us!

Where are you?

Apo Laki

In the place where we live

where are you?

Where are you?

Apo Laki!

Help us, Apo Laki!

Where are you?

Apo Laki!

Are you still here, young man?

How much?

I'll take him.

1513, Lisbon

Such useless men

Don't wake him up!

Domingos is dead, my good friend.

He died courageously.

Now he is with the grace of God.

What happened to Porfrio?

And my Csar, will he return?

Where is Jlio, Ferdinand?

I am still waiting for Antnio

Is there any sign of Joo?

Ferdinand, is there any sign of Joo?

I want my Antnio back!

Good morning, God.

Good morning, mother.

Come! Come!

Come here!

Come! Come!

You look strong and beautiful today!

Come!

Slowly,

Slowly, sir.

- Careful.

- That's it

The last time I saw you,

you were still a little girl,

running all around the house.

- How old are you now?

- Careful

I am almost 16 years old, sir.

You must certainly have better ways

to spend your days,

than to help a limping man walk.

In truth, I am quite content.

Father has placed me under

the tutelage

of a physician, his friend,

But even so,

it should not be you, Beatriz,

who has to care for me.

Do not worry yourself, sir.

- Ah! That's it

- Forgive me.

That's it.

That's it

Forgive me.

Many have succumbed to the gangrene.

Or infections so severe,

that they lead to suicide.

Forgive me.

I could stay here to care for you, sir.

I shall write my father.

To tell the truth,

your condition is dangerous.

Everything seems to indicate

that you are recovering,

but the infection

can spread at any moment.

And, if that happens,

I fear the worst.

Dear God!

Dear God

All the proof we need is in those letters.

Serro is giving us proof

that there is another way

to journey to the Spice Islands.

An occidental route,

a route under the end of the world.

We would avoid Africa,

the Cape of Good Hope,

we would avoid India,

we would avoid the West Indies,

we would avoid the Castilians,

we would avoid Malacca.

We will discover a new passage.

A new route, our own route!

Our own route.

Drink this, you two.

This will reinforce your enthusiasm.

Thank you, my love.

Thank you, Isabel.

There you have it,

the proof is in those letters.

The King has rejected my application

for the position of royal astronomer.

He treated me like a witch doctor,

a charlatan.

He has also refused to raise my pension

Let us forget all these rejections for now.

Yes, of course, you are right.

We shall speak to His Majesty

of the benefits of a new route

to the Spice Islands.

More wealth and power for him.

More territories for Portugal.

More Christian conversions.

Halting the Islamic advance.

Nullify Venice.

His Holiness the Pope shall be happy.

Happier.

We work

for his benefit,

we work for his greed.

That's a good one, we work for his greed.

We work for his greed.

We work for his greed!

Ferdinand!

This tastes funny.

Good morning!

Good morning, Apo Laki!

God of my ancestors!

Save me from the darkness!

From sunrise

till sunset!

Good morning, Apo Laki!

Lord of my ancestors!

Save me from curses!

From sunrise

till sunset!

Good morning, Apo Laki!

God of my ancestors!

Help me from wraths!

From sunrise till sunset!

Good day, Apo Laki!

God of my ancestors!

Save me from curses!

From sunrise till sunset!

Forgive me, Ferdinand.

I was completely useless.

I feel that I have disappointed you

- You and Rui. Forgive me.

- No.

Do not worry yourself, my friend.

These are imperial matters.

Portugal is becoming

ever more powerful, Ferdinand.

Soon, it shall be

the most powerful kingdom.

It is ironic that it is becoming

so intellectually void

It cares for nothing

but conquest, power, riches

We are k*lling so many

in the name of the crown and God.

We are even selling people

in the name of the crown and God.

That is wrong, Ferdinand. Very wrong

I am leaving.

I have asked for my dismissal,

I will leave Portugal.

And you, my friend,

what are your plans?

Me too I will leave Portugal.

Now, I am a pariah here.

King Manuel does this all the time,

he gives us work one day

and disowns us the next.

It is the game he plays.

When I asked for an audience for you,

he laughed and mocked you

He scorned you.

You have every reason

to turn your back on him.

Damn him.

But if you will allow me, my friend,

a small remark

regarding your proposal

for the expedition

Speak, Francisco.

You know

You already know It's all the same!

It is a murderous proposal, Ferdinand!

It is an expedition

to obtain wealth,

to obtain power.

It is based on greed!

You, the captains under Almeida

and Albuquerque,

you are all shadows of King Manuel,

and of Albuquerque and Almeida,

you are all guided by your greed.

You are all the same! You vermin!

You are just like us!

You are just like us, Francisco.

You have profited from the King,

far more than we have.

You, the privileged poets.

I have k*lled in the name of God,

of the crown, of Portugal!

What do I get in return?

Scorn

Traitors.

1518, Seville

Gentlemen,

I, the Bishop Juan Rodriguez de Fonseca,

as representative of

the Casa da Contratacin,

declare that this shall be

the definitive version

of the contract of the enterprise

known as the Maluku Armada.

The role of Captain-General

shall be assigned to Ferdinand Magellan,

who has been knighted

into the Order of Santiago

The rank of Inspector-General

is granted to Juan de Cartagena.

In the presence of Cristbal de Haro,

sole representative

of the House of Fuggers,

and of Juan de Aranda,

factor of the Casa de Contratacin.

His Majesty, King Carlos,

shall make a final revision

of the clauses of this contract, and

with the aid of divine providence,

shall stamp his royal signature

with his eventual approval

In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Spirit.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Tears, my love?

You will leave us soon.

Today is a special day.

But there will be

a far more special day for us

when I return to take you with me.

He's kicking.

Feel him.

- Lunch is ready, master.

- Leave it there.

The only thing I remember

about a hundred moons ago,

I was very young.

I was the sl*ve of a sultan,

not too far from Malacca.

He

He sold me to an Indian merchant.

The Indian

sold me to a Chinese merchant.

An Arab

who converts people

bought me from the Chinese.

And that Arab

sold me to the merchant in Malacca.

It was there that

your father, my master,

bought me.

Did you know your parents?

Gentlemen, given the proof

presented by the witnesses,

Antnio de Salomon,

captain of the Victria,

and Antnio Genovs, cabin boy,

have been caught in the act.

They are found guilty

of forbidden sexual acts

and crimes against nature.

As per the law,

and pleading the aid of divine providence,

invoking the powers vested in me

by King Carlos,

- Antnio Salomon?

- Yes, Captain-General.

You are hereby sentenced to death.

The date and time of the execution

shall be announced.

The trial is hereby closed.

Where are we going?

Why are we still following

the African coast?

For security reasons.

Security reasons

What is the supposed threat?

The threat of insecurity.

You treat me

as if I were a simple subordinate.

Don't forget that we are co-captains

in this expedition.

You know nothing of the seas.

It's obvious that we are not equals,

Juan de Cartagena, obvious.

You're violating the King's orders.

Are you aware of that?

The King's orders were clear:

I have complete authority over this fleet

and you are only in charge

of commerce, finances

and the captainship of San Antonio.

- I am the Inspector-General.

- And I am the Captain-General.

- You shall obey my orders.

- No, Ferdinand.

I have full authority over life

and death in this expedition.

Treason!

This is mutiny! Mutiny!

- In the name of the King, arrest him!

- Quesada! Do something.

Injustice!

No, no

I cannot watch.

1520, Patagonia

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

What are your sins, my son?

Forgive me, Father, I'm losing my faith.

Have no fear, my son,

Jesus is life.

I ask for forgiveness

for having k*lled Antnio de Salomon

It was my duty, sanctioned by the Pope.

You have sinned.

No law created by man

can overwrite God's law.

You have committed a mortal sin.

I accept it.

I am fully aware of what I have done.

But that's the price

Tell me,

the names of all those responsible

for the mutiny.

I know you are close to Juan de Cartagena

and Gaspar de Quesada.

Tell me, what are their plans?

You should know better, Captain-General.

Confession is a sacred act.

Help me

Help me save this expedition.

Help me save lives.

You are profaning the confession.

Tell me the names of all the traitors.

May God have pity on you.

In the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Quickly!

Rations for you Traitors!

Let's go!

Wait!

My sons

In the name of King Carlos!

In God's name!

Spare us!

My sons!

Spare us!

You shall burn in Hell!

You shall burn with Satan!

Spare us!

Listen to me!

Do not abandon us here!

You have abandoned God's grace.

You shall burn in Hell! You sinners

You shall burn

You are at the mercy of a madman's dream!

Molino, the decision is yours,

you have two options. The first:

you grab that sword,

and you chop off your master's head.

The second:

we cut off both of your heads!

You decide.

Untie him.

Our son, Carlos,

was born today.

He was born a strong boy

but after a few hours,

he released

his final breath.

He had blood flowing from his nose,

from his ears,

from his little eyes

What curse is this, my love?

Great Spirit!

Save us!

Save us all!

Save us all!

Great Spirit!

Come to us!

Spirit!

Great Spirit!

Save us!

Save us all!

Save us!

Save us!

Apo

Almost one hundred men have already died.

These Pacific waters are too vast,

and the most cruel!

I know

You are almost there.

On our golden islands.

Did you know?

I have died today

1520, Pacific Ocean

Pay up!

Pay up!

Pay up!

Pay for what you have caused!

Land!

- Land!

- Land!

Spirit of the winds!

Help our children!

Have pity on us!

Save them!

Have pity!

Help us!

Help please help!

Have pity!

This ritual

bestowed by the spirits and our gods!

It shall bind us, guide us!

Beings from different spheres

but united by the ocean and the sky!

United by the moon and the sun!

United by the wind of the universe!

All for brotherhood!

Tomorrow, youre healed.

Tomorrow, youre healed.

Tomorrow, youre healed.

Tomorrow, youre healed.

Magellan is here.

Come!

This is the Holy Child.

The Son, Jesus Christ.

We must pray

We must pray,

so that his soul may be saved.

Madame, this is the Holy Child.

The child Jesus Christ.

He will heal your beloved son.

We have brought jam for the scurvy.

Fed him two times

two times a day.

So he can become stronger.

He made these sweets himself.

Feed your son twice a day.

And he will be stronger.

Thank you very much, Magellan. Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Two times

Tell them,

I also have children, madame.

He also has children, madame.

Thank you, sir.

The Holy Child healed my son!

My son is cured!

- Holy Child!

- Holy Child!

- Holy Child!

- Holy Child!

Today,

God

God All Mighty,

the true savior of our souls,

The true savior of our lives!

Today, you shall embrace

the Kingdom of God!

And God shall embrace you in return.

After the Holy Sacrament of the Baptism

by Father Valderrama,

you will be called Christians

Jesus Christ

shall become the center of your lives.

The Baptism

will purify you of the Original Sin.

The Baptism shall be

the first sacrament of your Catholic life.

The Baptism will grant you a new life,

with God.

With God,

with Jesus Christ,

with His example,

with His hope,

with His mystery.

God has brought us here.

God has brought us

before you.

At long last.

After having sailed

the seas

in indescribable cold

we have lost so many men

so many friends

may God keep them in His Glory.

So much cruelty,

So much fear.

Finally, we are here.

Finally.

Who will accept

to enter the Kingdom of God?

Who will accept to swear and pray only

to the image of Jesus Christ?

Henrique

My brothers and sisters

who will accept to pray only

to the image of Jesus Christ?

Who will accept

to enter the Kingdom of God?

Jesus Christ!

Jesus Christ!

- Jesus Christ!

- Jesus Christ!

- Amen!

- Amen!

- We accept

- We accept!

- We accept Jesus Christ

- We accept Jesus Christ!

He who sacrificed his life for humanity!

He who bore the cross.

He who washed away our suffering.

He who washed away our sins!

- We ask for forgiveness.

- Forgive us!

Forgive us!

In the name of the Father,

the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Stand up.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee;

Blessed art thou among women

and blessed is

the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death.

Amen

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Be still!

They're heretics. Don't you see?

Bring all the idols and put them here!

You are heretics!

Don't do that! They are watching us.

They force us to do things,

which our hearts do not want.

I fear for the day our gods will show us

their wrath, their curse!

Do not interfere in mens affairs!

Henrique has told us

that Ferdinand wishes to stay in our land

and that he will become our head,

he will rule over us.

Those are small ones!

Look for better ones!

Let us bring back the tale

What? The Lapu-lapu tale?

Yes, Lapu-lapu the wakwak.

- Lapu-lapu

- We revive the tale!

- Lapu-lapu, the wakwak.

- And why?

If this pest, Captain Ferdinand,

does not leave,

he will be k*lled

by the wakwak, Lapu-lapu.

Good morning!

Captain Ferdinand

Four days ago,

the island of Cebu was baptized,

which brings us great joy.

But we have heard disquieting accounts,

disturbing accounts

A certain what's his name?

Datu Lapu-lapu.

- Beg your pardon?

- Datu Lapu-lapu.

This Datu Lapu-lapu and his village

have refused the Baptism.

They have profaned the cross,

which we had offered them.

Tell Lapu-lapu

that he has two days

to go back on his decision,

and ask for forgiveness!

Otherwise

he will face the consequences!

What is it?

Whats a wakwak?

A wakwak drinks the blood

of his enemies, he eats their liver,

and he devours the babies from inside

the womb of their pregnant women.

He moves only in the darkness.

A wakwak drinks

the blood of people.

He eats

He eats the liver

or devours

the babies inside

pregnant women.

So, he is some sort of phantom.

Are we to battle against a phantom?

Someone that nobody has ever laid eyes on?

A phantom, no?

I am not so sure myself

I don't know.

Doesnt he know?

Is it possible that

Datu Lapu-lapu is a myth?

A story?

A tale? A myth?

Let us drink.

Yes, let us drink!

Let us drink.

Do not worry yourself

with Datu Lapu-lapu, Captain Ferdinand.

Let us drink.

One, two, three, now

That's it!

Ferdinand

Datu Lapu-lapu has declared w*r.

So, we shall have w*r.

But Humabon volunteered

to lead the attack.

- Lets k*ll him!

- No, no

We wont do that.

Let Humabon see!

There's still time to negotiate

No, no

There is nothing left to debate.

Let us teach that ghost

the wrath of God!

Come, right away! Come!

Why are you here?

We are here to speak with Datu Lapu-lapu.

No!

The foreigners! The foreigners!

The foreigners!

The foreigners!

You two, over there. Henrique, follow me.

Stop! What are you doing?

Are you crazy?

What was that?

Rajah, the foreigners are hitting us

with fireballs.

Stay here!

It was all part of Rajah Humabons plan.

He made Ferdinand Magellan believe

that Lapu-lapu was real.

There was no Lapu-lapu.

No one ever saw him.

He was a creation of Rajah Humabon.

Humabons men k*lled Ferdinand Magellan.

Four days after Magellans death,

Rajah Humabon held a feast

and massacred most of Magellan's

remaining men.

I was an accomplice

to the violence that happened.

But

I had to do it.

I did it for my freedom.
