What made him dive?

I wanted to save him,

but the car started to sink.

- You should go to hospital.

- No, I don't need to.

I don't want to spend

hours in a waiting room.

I'm going to go home,

take a and get into bed.

Do you want me to call

an agent to take you home?

No, that's fine.

No need, no need.

- Are you fit to drive?

- Yes.

I told you I'd call if

there was any news,

but it seems that Tomás

gets to before I do.

Nothing.

The safe isn't in the car.

Yes ?

It's fine.

The document is a copy of

of King John II by Rui de Pina.

TOMÁS: It's been known for a long

time, It goes against the professor's thesis.

The professor said that Christopher

Christopher Columbus was Portuguese.

- Here he says he was Italian.

- And what else was in the safe?

This, for example.

LUÍSA: "Codex 632."

It must be the code of the Chronicle

he consulted at the National Library.

- And what is written here?

- It appears to be a telephone number.

As far as I can tell, it belongs

to a João Nuno Vilarigues.

- The Count?

- A Count?

Yes, the nobiliary titles

are over, at

least officially,

but the monarchists

insist on continuing

genealogical research.

They spend time,

money on it.

This is the case with the Count.

I logged in.

"Password?"

I'm here.

- Tomás de Noronha, I presume.

- Count Vilarigues?

- You're late, my dear.

- Yes, I'm sorry.

After you called me, I

looked him up on the Internet.

In the photo that came

up you were younger.

Yes, I was younger once.

Well, thank you for seeing me.

Are you finishing an investigation

of Professor Toscano?

I'm trying to decipher

the riddles he left behind.

Good luck! Toscano

loved these games.

He believed that Christopher

Columbus was Portuguese.

Have you noticed that there are lots of

documents about Columbus's passage through Spain,

but there's almost nothing

about their presence in Portugal?

But these documents do

exist, under another name.

The names are inappropriate.

"Nomina sunt odiosa."

Columbus was a Portuguese

nobleman, with a Jewish mother.

He fled to Seville after the

conspiracy to k*ll King John II.

And there he did "ymach xmi",

erased his name and found another one.

The Hebrew expression he

hid in his kabbalistic signature.

When the discovery of America,

Italian authors insinuated that

Columbus was Genoese

and he never denied it.

There are many theories

about Columbus' nationality,

but I always thought they

were just that. Theories.

CONDE: Maybe, but maybe

they're more than theories.

The great objective of

King João II was to reach the

spices of the East by sea

the spices of the Orient by

sea, avoiding the exclusive trade

Venice and the Ottoman Empire.

He knew that the

Spanish were threat to his

plans, he used Columbus

to beckon to them with

something apparently valuable, but worthless.

- America.

D. João II financed the voyage

in secret and, supposedly,

Columbus advanced

a quarter of a million.

If true, this proves that Christopher

Columbus was not a commoner.

That's right. The answer is in the Crónica

d'El Rei D. João II. Have you read it?

I've read it.

E

There are photocopied passages in

Toscano's safe. I've digitized them.

There are three copies of the

Chronicle, but only one is the original.

- The one in the National Library.

TOMÁS:- The one the Professor saw.

CONDE:The other two

were copied from that one.

The same story, but

in different handwriting.

But there is one detail that

betrays the uniform version.

Look at the spaces between words, they're all the

same, but at one point where the pattern changes.

There are two spaces

here larger than normal.

TOMÁS: Before

before the word "Italian".

CONDE:- The origin of Columbus.

- And why is that?

The chronicler first left that blank space first,

waiting for instructions from above about what to write.

Codex 632 could be proof.

Until now, no serious historian

wanted to risk their reputation.

You know how

academia works.

It's easier to repeat what others have already

said than to develop new theories and defend them.

I have to get back to my work.

Good luck to you. It won't be easy to

change a thesis that's over 500 years old.

There are many people interested

in making Columbus Genoese.

The Amerigo Vespucci Foundation?

TOMÁS:- I'm sorry, Constança.

- No, it's fine.

- How is she?

- She's fine.

The doctor says that she'll

be discharged tomorrow.

Really?

I have to take

to Moliarti.

EMPLOYEE:Doctor, excuse

me. Dr. Helena is here.

You were careless.

I wasn't.

I did everything I was told.

Now I want

what you promised me.

An agreement only makes sense

when both parties are satisfied.

You're supposed to disappear.

I was promised a research

grant. I was going to Genoa.

If you give up the mission, you can't

expect for the privileges to continue.

My career depends on it.

Get out of here.

Don't you think it's better stay

at the house for a few days?

( She's here. Come here. )

It's better if she stays at home. You stay

in the bedroom, I'll stay in the office.

There's no point in either

of us to be away from her.

I don't think it's a good idea. It could

be embarrassing for your girlfriend.

- Which girlfriend?

- Helena.

Isn't that her name?

Where did you meet her?

It's like a dream come

true of middle age, isn't it?

- What did they tell you?

- They didn't tell me anything.

I met Helena in your apartment when I

went to pick up Margarida's cell phone.

Are you living with her now?

You couldn't have found her at

home. She doesn't have a key.

CONSTANCE: My love, come on.

I'm just going to finish

tidying up a few things.

CAMPAIGN TOCA

Did you order pizza?

No. The girl has to have

to go on a diet these days.

MARGARIDA: Who is it?

- It's a friend.

I was a bit busy

with my daughter.

MARGARIDA:Hello. I know you.

MARGARET: Yes.

CONSTANCE: It must be the

Botanical Garden, he helps me a lot.

- Are you a gardener?

CONSTANCE:- Marguerite

MARGARET:She won't let

me. She sent my father away too.

MARGARET:Now I've got a

battery-operated machine in my heart.

Thank you for visiting and I'm

sorry for not returning your calls.

We are.

- You should call Dad.

- What do you mean, call him?

He wanted to know

who this friend of yours is.

Did your father ask you to

tell him if I talked to someone?

If I went out with anyone?

No. Dad has a photo of

your friend with other people.

- What do you mean? What people?

- I don't know.

He said he was trying to find out who they

are because of the investigation you're doing.

TOMÁS:"I don't understand

why Helena is lying.

"What did you come here

for? What did you want?"

She probably she wanted to surprise you,

"show up naked, and your wife ruined everything."

What is this sh*t?

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

The light went out. I'm

going to the board. Hold on.

Victoria, I'll call you back.

Hold on.

Where's Margarida?

With my mother. Do you think

you're being investigated, watched?

I don't know. It has to do

with the investigation, I'm sure.

- Do you suspect anyone?

- I immediately thought of Helena.

Is that the girl I found

in your apartment?

The one I told you I hadn't

given me the key to the house.

I think there may be

someone else involved in this.

Diego is a boy who's helping

me at the Botanical Gardens.

Margarida recognized him. She saw a photo on your phone, you were trying to find out who it is.

- Yes.

He's the boy who got

the apartment I'm in.

You said it was a friend.

Is this him?

É.

TOMÁS: I've sent it, You

must have received it by now.

MAN:Thank you

and have a good afternoon.

TOMÁS:Thank you, good

afternoon. Thank you very much.

Just to wrap things up,

Helena is my student.

She's not exactly my student, but if they

find out, I could be be fired from the faculty.

I investigate crimes. I

am not morality police.

All right, then.

Can I ask you a question?

- Yes.

- What do you know about Diego Ramirez?

Not much.

He's a Spanish national

and lives off his income.

Apparently, family money

that he has been able to invest.

OPERATOR: "The

number you is not available.

"After the tone, please

record your message."

- Did he speak?

- No.

His cell phone.

He paid you extra, didn't he?

When was this Codex

restored?

I have no record. But,

Professor, a 500-year-old work

It's only natural that it's

been various interventions.

- Of course.

WOMAN:- Professor Toscano, when he

was here,

asked for an X-ray in the laboratory,

but he never came to pick it up.

- Can I see it?

WOMAN:Anything

of interest?

Very much.

How are you, Diego? Can

I have a coffee with you?

If I tell you he's not coming?

Things didn't

to have come to this.

If Diego had stopped

He's been living

with this fantasy.

Even the Portuguese can't convince him heir to

Christopher Columbus, even more so as a Spaniard.

Columbus died as a Genoese and it is Genoese

who will continue, to the honor and glory of Italy.

Now.

The truth is overrated.

Countries live on narratives,

Diego, of

stories that serve

to unite people, to

celebrate the courage

of their ancestors.

Because in the present

there's nothing left to celebrate.

Nor is it money

you're after?

Come and work with us, Diego.

You can be sure that

you'll be well rewarded for it.

NELSON: He who wants

everything, loses everything, Diego.

HELENA: Who is it?

Inspector Tiago Froes.

Judicial Police.

- Can we talk?

- Yes, of course. Come in.

This way.

FROES:- Are you going on a trip?

HELENA:- To Macau to visit family.

- Have a seat.

- FROES: Thank you.

So

Do you have the keys to Professor

Tomás de Noronha's house?

May I ask

what are you investigating?

- I didn't see how I could be of any help.

- I asked him about the keys.

I do.

If that's your way of asking

if I'm in a relationship

No, I'm not asking you anything.

How did you get the keys?

He gave them to me.

Who made the copy?

Was it Helena or him?

It was Tomás.

MARGARIDA: Why do

we have to get out of here?

The owner of the apartment

will need it.

- Shall we go back to our place?

CONSTANCE:- No, my love.

CONSTANCE:Let's go to

grandparents, I've already spoken to them.

CONSTANCE:- Until we have a home.

- You shouldn't stay here today.

- Why not?

- Because they shouldn't.

TOMÁS:Do you want Dad to

stay here? I'll sleep on the sofa.

You stay in my room.

Is that all right, Mom?

Yes.

MARGARET: I'm hungry.

- Are you hungry?

- Do you have any pasta in the house?

- I wanted to talk to you

Things aren't going to change.

Margarida has

that we'll be together.

I know that.

I'll never use Daisy

to put pressure on you.

I'll never do that.

What's stopping us from being

together isn't Helena or Diego.

It's before that.

We've changed.

We've each gone our separate ways.

Did something happen?

- We need to talk.

- All right.

TOMÁS: Was he investigating me?

FROES:Yes. We followed the PI.

Constança was right.

He approached her because of me.

And there's more,

Tomás. It seems that Diego

Ramirez was in regular

contact with Professor Toscano.

The evidence from the apartment

is being catalogued, but it

suggests that he was very

interested in your investigation.

Could he have who

k*lled the Professor?

We're still investigating

that possibility.

But if he didn't k*ll

him, he had him k*lled.

It's not difficult to hire

someone in Brazil to do the job.

Why is that? What

interest in the investigation?

There was medication

for schizophrenia

in the room and, believe it or not, a

screw loose is the

explanation for many cases.

- Where is he? Has he been caught?

- No. We've already issued a warrant.

We've already issued

an for his arrest.

TOMÁS:Inspector, what about Helena?

know anything? I pressed her, but she hasn't

opened her mouth, and without proof I can't get a warrant.

She was getting ready to travel.

How are you?

- Good afternoon.

- Good afternoon.

Have we arranged something?

We've given you enough

time to finish the investigation.

I haven't finished the work yet.

But you already have

information that you can give us.

Unfortunately, we can't

give you any more time.

We want to see what you have.

If you don't mind,

come to my office.

Of course, of course.

I know this Diego Ramirez well.

He's been harassing us for years to be recognized

as a direct descendant of Christopher Columbus.

- Has he provided you with proof?

- No He's delusional.

Columbus' eldest son was Portuguese and called Diogo, but he stayed in Spain until he died.

- There's something I don't understand.

Why attack Professor Toscano when the investigation

was questioning the Genoese origin of Columbus?

We don't have answers

to all questions, Tomás,

but we did a little

Diego.

He comes from a family with

money. They got rich in the Civil w*r.

Maybe it's a way to clear

name.

In Spain, being noble

still opens a lot of doors.

So? Can we see what you've got?

See here.

Here.

Last word of the third row.

TOMÁS: "Colo" isn't erased.

Under the splice is an N and an A.

"Colona".

"Colona nado en Cuba".

This is the official text

by Rui de Pina.

It shows that Colona, or rather,

Columbus, was born in Cuba in the Alentejo.

"Swimming in Cuba".

But is Colona the real

name of Columbus?

That's right.

Christopher Columbus was a nobleman

Portuguese nobleman of Jewish origin.

- Is that the only photocopy you took?

- Yes.

It had been requested by Professor Toscano,

it was in an envelope in the National Library.

Well done. The 500,000 euros are yours, but

you'll have to comply with the clause you signed.

Surely you understand that, don't you?

I don't intend to publish anything

before the official announcement.

The discovery is yours,

yours and Professor Toscano's.

This discovery will never come

to light, not now, not ever, Tomás.

I understand that it's

a controversial discovery, it

will cause a great stir

among historians, it goes

against the official version.

But it's a 500-year-old treasure.

NELSON: It's just a theory.

You don't change 500 years of history

by a name crossed out on a document.

It's a sensitive subject for you

who are Italian. I understand that.

Your discovery doesn't

change the course of history.

It's just a footnote.

Check or bank transfer?

I'm feeling like sh*t.

A sell-out.

If everyone has a

price, yours isn't so bad.

You've just won

half a million euros.

What would you have done

in my place?

I'm not in your shoes

I'm not in the middle of divorce proceedings, I

don't have a daughter with an illness like yours.

Basically, I'm just

an idealist

with a mid-life crisis.

I shouldn't have left

the documents.

You need to take care of

yourself and your daughter.

HELENA"Tomás"

I didn't think I'd

talk to you again.

I hope you don't take

this phone call as a

As a farewell gift.

I wanted to tell you that the

Foundation you're working for

Tomás, what you went to do

wasn't to

finish Professor

Professor Toscano's

research, it was to find out which

document would prove that Columbus

was not Italian.

I know that now. I should have

realized it when I was hired.

"The mafia, in recent decades,

has become a financial corporation."

Savigliano's family has owned, for many years, all

the rights to the exploitation the image of Columbus.

This brings in millions of euros

a year.

Toscano, when he got

too close to the truth

They had to k*ll him.

"And me"

I was hired to make sure you weren't hiding

anything from what you were discovering.

And Manuella, was it them?

"She managed"

The Foundation's of

the Foundation in Genoa.

TOMÁS:"Why are you

only telling me this now?"

I gave them everything. I

signed a confidentiality agreement.

Destroy the agreement.

Tell the world what you know.

TOMÁS: "Wait for me.

You owe me."

Wait for me, I'll come to you.

"My flight leaves

in two hours. Hurry up!"

- I have to go.

- Where?

To the airport to meet Helena.

VICTORIA: Let her go, it's

one less problem in your life.

- Really, I have to go.

- Tomás, where do you have to go?

- Tomas, forget it!

- I won't. I have to go.

Helena! Helena!

Helena!
