ODETE: I'll need the

card.

Mr. Paulo Mendes, you can sit down,

and I'll bring the book and the card.

Today we're going to talk about

the navigator Christopher Columbus.

He was born in Genoa

in 1451.

He was known to everyone, and I hope you

too, for the various voyages he made to America.

In fact,

he made four trips to America.

Grandparents are cool,

but I miss home.

I understand.

Let things settle down and you'll spend a week with your mom and another week with me, okay?

- Calm down what?

Does it have to do with the investigation?

The investigation is over

and I know you're curious.

And I'm going to tell you that Christopher

Christopher Columbus was really Portuguese.

We can't tell anyone.

MARGARIDA: Why? Is it a secret?

Everyone could know!

We can't always

do what we want.

You don't look happy.

Not at all.

- Don't I look happy?

- No, I don't.

But I am happy. When I'm

with you I'm always happy.

I'm going to ask for a year's leave.

Forget it. The college hasn't given

research licenses for a long time.

There are fewer and fewer

historians and more professors.

I don't want to

research, I want to write.

I want to write and I want to

I need to get away from here.

Of course you do. I realize that,

after everything that's happened

But you're getting divorced.

No jeopardize the rest of your life.

Victoria, listen. I was

attending a History of

the Discoveries class this

week. of the Discoveries.

It's incredible! It's

impossible for me to be

listening to things that I know

are a fraud and remain silent.

- It's impossible!

- You'll have to get used to it.

Let me show you something.

Look at this.

They're going to take the

treasure of the Dominican Republic.

They want to move the body

to Italy. And the gold and jewels.

What were you waiting for?

Forget about it.

I won't be able to forget

it. I won't be able to.

You signed a

confidentiality agreement

and, even if you hadn't,

you don't want to end up like

Toscano and the Macanese.

- It's rotten to keep this secret.

- Yes, it is.

- As my daughter says.

- It's very rotten.

But to reveal the truth is

to sign a death warrant.

- If the police and the government

- Tomás!

I'll arrange a meeting

with the Minister of Culture.

- Or the Minister of Higher Education.

- They'll never see you.

And if they do, they won't

call you. They're politicians.

What if they see the evidence? Isn't

Bernardo an advisor to the Minister?

VICTORIA: Are you really

sure that's what you want to do?

The Judicial Police are

investigating the deaths.

There's no evidence against the

Foundation, but there are many suspicions.

Maybe if I talk to Froes I

can get police protection.

And you'll spend the rest of your

life looking over your shoulder?

You don't think it's worth it?

You're tearing down

statues and fighting the

stories that the winners

like to tell. to tell. Right.

Eat up!

VICTORIA: Odete!

- Good morning, teachers!

- How are you?

Good morning! Odete, I

need to to consult "Codex 632".

Make a request to photocopy

one of the pages, okay?

Very well. Come with

me, I'll get the book.

Great!

Thank you very much.

How long does the lab

take to make a copy?

Two days. If you're urgent we

might be able to do it tomorrow.

- Yes, it's urgent.

- I'll see what I can do.

- Thank you, Odete.

- Thank you, Odete.

What's wrong?

I can't find the page.

But this is the volume.

TOMÁS: The page has been cut out.

Who was the last person

to access this "Codex"?

Here's the record:

Tuesday at 15:21.

Paulo Mendes ?

I'll write down the

number.

Odete, can you describe him?

ODETE: I only met him for

a short time, a minute or two.

TOMÁS: Don't you remember anything?

- It was the first time I saw him.

The people looking for the archive are usually

professors, master's students, PhD students

He was tall, between 50 and

60 years old, he looked good,

Brazilian accent.

I've just spoken to Genoa.

I told them I'm going there in

the next few days with the page.

Professor, if the page has disappeared, the

National Library must be the one to file a complaint.

I understand that. But I have the name and Citizen's

Card number of the person who requested the Codex.

- Can you do a search?

- Yes, you can.

Here.

Jorge, can I borrow

this in a moment, please.

Paulo

Mendes.

Seven

six, eight.

So?

It seems that the person you're

looking for died five years ago.

Really?

Yes, it's logical that whoever went to the

National Library used a false document, of course.

Of course.

What if the Foundation has

already destroyed the page?

No. You know as well as I

do that it doesn't make sense.

A historian wouldn't destroy a

document of such importance.

I don't know.

We're talking about

We're talking about mobsters,

aren't we?

- That's what I'd do.

- But Savigliano is a collector.

The first time I went to the Foundation

he showed me the collection room.

But the document they stole

everything they stand for.

- The profits TOMÁS:-

You're absolutely right.

A stolen painting often ends up in the hands

of a private individual locked away in a safe.

Collectors don't want to show it off, they want to feel

like they own something that no one else has access to.

I still think

your idea is crazy.

I know, but I'm not going

to give up without trying.

And how do you plan to

the Foundation?

I don't know, I have no idea.

It's a room

with biometric control.

Even if I enter the Foundation I

won't be able to access the room.

Talk to Rodrigo. He installed the college's

computer system. He might have an idea.

I'd rather not involve

Rodrigo in this.

Do you know anyone else

who could help?

It's possible. Any

system can be hacked.

Look at the emails from the Department or the

Portuguese companies that have been held to ransom.

What I don't understand is

why you're asking that question.

If you want Rodrigo's help

you have to be more specific.

Rodrigo, it's like this

Let's say I need access

to a controlled room.

He needs to break

into an archive.

- Discreetly

- Do you think we have time?

Do you want to stop,

have a cup of coffee?

I'm sorry, but I don't have

time. I have a lot of work to do.

I really need your help.

I really do. I really do.

Then tell me what

you need, bluntly.

TOMÁS: I've been researching

Christopher Columbus.

I had proof in my hands

that he wasn't Genoese

and the proof is at the

Amerigo Vespucci Foundation.

What proof is that?

TOMÁS: A page of a document

stolen from the National Library.

VICTORIA:Tomás signed

a confidentiality agreement.

He was paid to keep quiet,

but he's not up to it now.

And the Foundation must have

foreseen the thing, so it stole the document.

- You're not serious.

TOMÁS: We are.

We're serious. I'm serious.

- Go to the police.

VICTORIA:- There's no time.

You need an official complaint from the

National Library, an inquiry, a

warrant from a judge,

there really isn't time.

The only thing between me and that document is a door.

- With a biometric reader.

- What you want to do is

- a crime. I know.

I was going to say "risky".

When you publish it,

don't forget to thank me.

- I won't forget.

- And if it gets back to me, I'll say that you made me do it.

No, say it was Rui Pinto.

He's a hacker but he

has a degree in History.

VITORIA: He studied history.

- Well, the best

thing would be to have the fingerprint

of

someone who has authorization

to access the archive.

Okay.

Portuguese wines are the

best, but I can't say that publicly.

This Barolo is from the region

where my parents were born.

It's great.

The Foundation does

business in Brazil too?

We have invested in the

sector.

There is a large Italian community

in the south of the country,

which has helped

extend our influence.

Nelson.

I want to thank you for

you're giving me to apologize.

I recognize that my

reaction to the Colombo

issue was emotional.

NELSON: I understand.

Making a discovery

like that and keeping it a

secret isn't easy, but it's

absolutely fundamental.

That's why we rewarded him

so well for the embarrassment.

And I thank you. I'd like you to

consider my name for

future collaborations.

Who knows, I might discover

something else that's important, but

that's in the Foundation's interest

Foundation and give me visibility.

Of course. If that's the case, of

course we'll work together again.

Good.

In the course of

my research about

Christopher Columbus, I came across

documents that could

prove that Duarte

Pacheco Pereira discovered Brazil

two years before Pedro Álvares Cabral.

These documents could be part of

Bartolomeu of Bartolomeu Dias.

The caravel was part of

of Pedro Álvares Cabral

and sank when they

resumed the road to India.

If this really is a document of the Diary of

Bartolomeu Dias, how did he survive the shipwreck?

There are possibilities. With

your resources I can move forward.

- Are you asking for money?

- No, I'd say I'd say more

-Sponsorship.

- A sponsorship. That's right.

I think that's the word:

sponsorship.

Would you mind speaking

with Savigliano?

Of course not. You really don't to miss

the chance to become famous, do you?

Tomás?

- It'll be fine.

- Did you make it? Take it easy.

First we have to see if the

fingerprints are visible and complete.

Here's your key.

Does this really work?

Well, you'll only know

until you try it.

MARGARET: Mom, can I

stay longer on my cell phone?

Not at all. Go brush

your teeth, it's time.

It's very early.

No, it's not. Go kiss

Grandma and then go to bed.

- Brush your teeth, get ready.

- All right!

Grandma: Come here,

my love. Sleep well, okay?

MARGARET:- Thank you.

GRANDMA:- See you tomorrow.

Grandpa:Go. I'll come with you.

Daughter

Didn't Tomás say what he

wanted to talk to you about?

No.

I'll be right back.

Do you want to come

in? Margarida's still awake.

No, I'd better not.

I need you to go home to your parents your parents' house in the Algarve and take Margarida with you.

- What's going on?

Do as I say,

don't ask questions.

CONSTANCE: Is it Diego?

It has nothing to do with Diego.

It has to do with the Foundation.

I'll go to the Algarve if you

tell me what's happening.

I'm not going to change my life, I won't go on

vacation, take Margarida out of school if it's not serious.

The Foundation is the legitimate part of an organization, has

an interest in various areas and it moves a lot of money around.

Yes, and ?

I'm talking about the Mafia, Constanze.

What you're saying doesn't make sense.

Why would they invest in a historical

investigation with so many ways to launder money?

The fact that Columbus was Genoese

allows the Foundation to earn

a lot of money in advertising,

merchandising

and associated rights.

They have just received an incalculable treasure

after an agreement with the Dominican government.

Do you want me to go to

the Algarve because of that?

When it's all over, you'll understand.

Are you asking me to

change my life because of this?

I have in my hands proof that

Columbus was Portuguese.

And that will make them lose

the rights to exploit the name.

I don't want anything to

happen to you or Margarida.

- Just keep quiet.

- I can't keep quiet.

Do it for me.

Or do it for Marguerite.

That's all I'm asking.

I'm only asking for a few days.

I'll do it.

Yes. Nelson?

Good morning, Nelson. I'm sorry to be calling early, but, you

know, yesterday I forgot my backpack at the Foundation yesterday.

NELSON: "I've put the bag away.

"Do you want someone to

take it home or to the university?"

No, no, don't bother. I

can come and pick it up.

I just ask you one favor: if you can let

me know at reception. Is that all right?

- "Okay."

- Okay.

Thank you, sir.

Cheers. Thank you.

- Good morning, professor.

- Good morning, Professor.

My backpack was forgotten.

Yes, Dr. Moliarti warned me

that you were coming. It's here.

- Thank you, Dr. Moliarti.

- Can I get you a coffee or a water?

Yes, yes, I'll have a

coffee. Yes, thank you.

- Sugar?

- No, no sugar.

No sugar. Thank you.

Excuse me.

It's okay, I'll ask someone to

clean up. Don't worry about it.

- Don't worry about it.

- I'm late, I'll have coffee later.

- I'll be going now. I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. Have a nice day.

Have a nice day!

I always forget my tablet.

Professor Tomás is here.

You nearly bumped into him.

Before I forget: documents

for the trip to Genoa.

Thank you very much, Fernanda.

- Did you get it?

- Let's get out of here.

Let's go !

Yes, Bernardo?

Tell me you have

good news for me.

Thank you very much,

Bernardo. Thank you very much.

I'll take the evidence,

yes. Of course you will.

It will be a pleasure to see you again.

Cheers. A hug.

- The Minister will see me.

- Is he?

I don't know how Bernardo

became an advisor.

And if they don't take you

seriously, do you have a plan B?

I don't.

I have no idea.

NELSON: "In the archive."

"Impossible."

The last access was you

and, before that, Dr. Moliarti.

It's impossible for the

document not be down there.

I didn't go into the archive

this morning.

If I had, and there's no reason to, I would have

deleted my name from the computer. Don't you think so?

Fernanda, would you excuse us?

I'm sorry, Professor Tomás de

Noronha was here this morning.

He came to collect his

backpack he'd forgotten.

How long will we be there?

I don't know. Put the backpack

in the car and I'll be right back.

Professor, I'm sorry.

You can wait in the hall.

Thank you, Professor.

Can I send you in now?

The professor isn't here.

SECRETARY: "I asked

you to wait in the hall."

- Constance?

CONSTANCE: "He's gone!"

She was here.

TOMÁS: "I know about her.

Don't worry, I'll take her."

CONSTANCE:"If anything

happens to my daughter, I'll k*ll you!"

I swear nothing will happen.

Trust me.

Inspector?

My daughter?

Come in, Dr. Savigliano

is waiting for you.

Where's my daughter?

That doesn't matter.

Where's Daisy?

I'm not handing over anything

until I see Daisy.

What guarantees do I have

that you'll let us out of here?

I have a copy.

If you don't leave here with Marguerite,

the world will know.

Help! Help!

Help! Come on!

FROES:Freeze!

TOMÁS:Careful, Froes!

Help me!

Help me!

MARGARIDA:Help!

- Margaret!

MARGARET: Father!

Calm down! Dad will pick you up,

daughter ! Calm down.

Hold on. Hold on!

Hold on, child. Take it easy.

Dad

TOMÁS:Wait a minute, Daisy.

MARGARET:Hurry up, Dad.

Wait a minute, daughter.

- Try coming up here with me.

FROES: Thomas!

- Help me up here! Help me up here!

- Help me! Please!

Come on! Come on!

Thomas!

FATHER:I am the resurrection

and the life.

He who believes in me,

though he die,

shall live.

And whoever lives and believes in me

shall not die forever.

Martin left six months ago.

Since that day I've realized that if there's

one thing death doesn't take away

it's the love we feel for someone.

My memories

are fading,

but one thing that

I'll never forget

is the day

we met.

Even after I left,

as long as your name is spoken,

your work is studied,

will keep you alive.

It'll keep you alive!

For many, many generations.

It's the most logical choice,

Thomas.

I've already spoken to the scientific council

and they all agree.

I would be proud

to accept the position of Professor.

I appreciate the

invitation, but I can't accept.

Not only can I not accept I'm

going to ask for a sabbatical

to devote myself to a project

that will take up all my time.

- And what is that project?

- A book about Christopher Columbus.

SPEAKER: "The statue of

Fr. António Vieira's statue was

taken down "despite reinforced

police surveillance, "after

it had been the target of attempted

vandalism attempted vandalism.

"The Judiciary is

investigating the case

"but so far we don't

know who is responsible."

"We do know, however,

that several activist

associations "have been under surveillance

for

inciting violent acts "against the symbols

of our history.

"The debate around colonialism "has already led some

cultural personalities

of culture to speak out "about

an official apology

of the Portuguese government "to

the descendants

of the victims of sl*very "that

reigned for centuries

in the country and in the colonies."

"On an international level, the trial

"surrounding the Américo Vespúcio Foundation.

"After several months of investigation,

"the Italian Public Prosecutor's

Office

has filed an indictment

"involving 27 people

of four

nationalities, "some well-known

world of banking and finance.

"The first session begins

this afternoon in Genoa.

"John Savigliano,

the president of the

Foundation, "is the first to sit

in the

dock after being

extradited from Portugal.

"The businessman is accused

of 12 crimes,

"including

money laundering, "active corruption

and participation

in two murders as the mastermind.

"The Foundation had offices

in various

countries, "such as Portugal and Brazil,

where

it carried out work "in the field of historical research.

"In addition it was the exclusive holder "of

the image rights of Christopher Columbus."

TOMÁS: Thank you very much.

He's a friend and I know

I know he's in a hurry.

- Hello, Tomás, how are you?

- Thank you very much for coming.

It's a pleasure. You're stirring up

controversy. I'm curious to read it.

Is there a lot of controversy already?

A bit.

There's some buzz.

- Nice to see you.

- Thank you very much. Best wishes.

- Thank you, too.

- Dad

- Go ahead, daughter.

- Can I stay at your house today?

Have you talked to Mom?

What's her name?

MARTINA:- Martina.

- No, she's with someone else.

But we'll have to talk

with Mom first, right?

Go on, Dad will be with

you, okay? See you soon.

Excuse me.

Now that the book has been

published, what are you going to do?

What am I going to do now?

I'll have to think about it.

I don't know.

I have two possibilities: either I go

back to college,

which I really don't

want to do, or I can

dedicate myself to restoration.

TELEMÓVEL - How's the desk?

- Yes.

Yes ?

Yes, it's me, who is this?

From the US Embassy?
