1
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:31,144
Looters. Speculators.

2
00:00:31,342 --> 00:00:32,639
Grave robbers.

3
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,019
This is how Prehistorians are perceived.

4
00:00:35,175 --> 00:00:38,349
"The meek shall inherit the Earth."

5
00:00:38,550 --> 00:00:42,635
Not those who arrogantly seek
to explain the miracle of Creation.

6
00:00:42,842 --> 00:00:47,552
But our quest is for
the Origins of Mankind.

7
00:00:47,717 --> 00:00:49,310
Think then of the peril

8
00:00:49,467 --> 00:00:52,971
should your children
be exposed to their heresy.

9
00:00:53,175 --> 00:00:57,260
It is imperative that we raise
the standing of our infant science,

10
00:00:57,425 --> 00:01:00,554
as the great Charles Darwin
has done for Natural History.

11
00:01:00,717 --> 00:01:03,345
Anyone who does not confess

12
00:01:03,550 --> 00:01:06,224
that the world and all things in it...

13
00:01:06,383 --> 00:01:09,592
are created for the glory of God:

14
00:01:10,842 --> 00:01:12,890
let him be anathema,

15
00:01:13,342 --> 00:01:15,219
cast out from the Church.

16
00:01:40,842 --> 00:01:43,140
My name is Maria Sautuola.

17
00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:48,475
When I was nine years old,
my world was torn apart.

18
00:01:49,258 --> 00:01:53,058
Even so, I don't regret for what we did,

19
00:01:53,467 --> 00:01:55,140
for what we discover.

20
00:01:55,758 --> 00:01:58,841
It all began when Papa went to Paris

21
00:01:58,967 --> 00:02:02,551
to hear the greatest archaeologists
of the age.

22
00:02:03,175 --> 00:02:06,429
Papa was a scholar and a scientist,

23
00:02:06,883 --> 00:02:11,218
but above all a fearless seeker of truth.

24
00:02:11,883 --> 00:02:15,808
Don Marcelino, are we looking
at our primitive ancestors?

25
00:02:16,717 --> 00:02:19,140
Only a few steps from the cave.

26
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:21,553
I was trying to imagine
how I would behave if my house

27
00:02:21,758 --> 00:02:23,681
were on display like a zoo.

28
00:02:25,508 --> 00:02:26,600
We should go.

29
00:02:26,758 --> 00:02:29,477
The lecture will be packed.

30
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,894
We must be rigorous, methodical,

31
00:02:37,008 --> 00:02:38,760
scientific in our work,

32
00:02:38,883 --> 00:02:41,636
or the forces of Reaction will crush us.

33
00:02:47,383 --> 00:02:49,226
Good speech, Cartailhac.

34
00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:52,053
Allow me to introduce my friend,
Mister Sautuola,

35
00:02:52,217 --> 00:02:54,219
a keen recruit to our field.

36
00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:56,101
Another Jesuit?

37
00:02:56,258 --> 00:02:57,805
No, sir.

38
00:02:58,133 --> 00:03:01,763
A beginner,
an enthusiast without prejudice.

39
00:03:02,050 --> 00:03:04,473
I'm learning so much
from your journal, sir.

40
00:03:05,008 --> 00:03:07,932
It's men like you we academics rely on.

41
00:03:08,092 --> 00:03:11,596
The honest amateur is our foot soldier.

42
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,724
Only do not let his dogma infect you.

43
00:03:18,842 --> 00:03:20,515
Please, its for you.

44
00:03:36,342 --> 00:03:37,389
Mama, mama.

45
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,302
Be careful with those, Maria.

46
00:03:43,925 --> 00:03:44,972
Mero!

47
00:03:49,758 --> 00:03:52,432
Oh, Marcelino, is that a hat?

48
00:03:52,842 --> 00:03:54,185
From Paris?

49
00:03:54,383 --> 00:03:56,886
- Yes... I mean, no.
- Thank you.

50
00:03:57,050 --> 00:03:58,552
Forgive me, Conchita!

51
00:03:58,717 --> 00:04:00,685
It's for my orchid collection and...

52
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:02,973
I shall wear it to church?

53
00:04:03,133 --> 00:04:05,761
See what my husband has brought
from Paris.

54
00:04:06,258 --> 00:04:09,011
We are joining Cartailhac's army.

55
00:04:09,175 --> 00:04:10,802
Marcelino, you've only just arrived.

56
00:04:10,925 --> 00:04:14,134
Can I come? I must be old enough by now.

57
00:04:14,300 --> 00:04:16,302
See how tall I am. Let's go.

58
00:04:16,467 --> 00:04:19,516
No one is going hunting
or joining any armies.

59
00:04:19,675 --> 00:04:22,599
- What beautiful they are!
- Maria, time for practice.

60
00:04:26,717 --> 00:04:27,889
Maria Justina!

61
00:04:28,050 --> 00:04:30,144
You practice, then we'll go.

62
00:04:50,425 --> 00:04:54,055
NATURAL AND PRIMITIVE HISTORY OF MAN
EMILE CARTAILHAC

63
00:04:54,717 --> 00:04:57,561
And Father Tomas says
I should be confirmed this Autumn

64
00:04:57,717 --> 00:04:59,594
or it will be too late.

65
00:04:59,758 --> 00:05:01,886
Too late! Why's that?

66
00:05:02,050 --> 00:05:04,473
Because I ask too many questions.

67
00:05:04,633 --> 00:05:05,759
Do I, Papa?

68
00:05:07,008 --> 00:05:09,557
It's impossible to ask too many questions

69
00:05:09,883 --> 00:05:12,227
as long as you pay attention
to the answers.

70
00:05:24,633 --> 00:05:27,842
The primitives
lived over 10.000 years ago.

71
00:05:28,342 --> 00:05:31,095
So by digging down, we look back

72
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:33,519
a telescope of time.

73
00:05:36,842 --> 00:05:40,392
This must have been a good place.
Sheltered.

74
00:05:40,550 --> 00:05:42,848
Did they sleep on the mud?

75
00:05:43,383 --> 00:05:46,842
And these were skilled craftsmen.

76
00:05:47,258 --> 00:05:48,976
They could make what they needed.

77
00:05:51,383 --> 00:05:53,852
What does it say in Genesis?

78
00:05:53,967 --> 00:05:56,061
"Thou art dust and..."

79
00:05:56,258 --> 00:05:58,431
"And to dust thou shalt return."

80
00:05:58,675 --> 00:06:02,179
Even here, protected from the elements,

81
00:06:02,675 --> 00:06:05,975
only the hardest things survive the ages:

82
00:06:06,508 --> 00:06:09,136
stone, shells,

83
00:06:09,383 --> 00:06:10,475
bone.

84
00:06:12,550 --> 00:06:14,268
Now listen.

85
00:06:16,717 --> 00:06:18,640
That muddy cave!

86
00:06:20,092 --> 00:06:21,685
Prayers, Missy.

87
00:06:24,925 --> 00:06:27,348
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

88
00:06:28,425 --> 00:06:29,096
Amen.

89
00:06:34,383 --> 00:06:37,842
- Oh, she's asleep.
- No wonder. Exhausted.

90
00:06:38,050 --> 00:06:39,973
I'm not asleep. Show me now!

91
00:06:46,592 --> 00:06:49,846
Maria, look through this little window.

92
00:06:51,133 --> 00:06:52,350
Ready?

93
00:06:54,925 --> 00:06:57,098
Papa bought it in Paris.

94
00:06:57,758 --> 00:06:59,601
Moving pictures.

95
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:00,847
Magical!

96
00:07:01,175 --> 00:07:02,392
But how?

97
00:07:02,842 --> 00:07:04,389
Twelve mirrors.

98
00:07:04,842 --> 00:07:07,186
As the cylinder turns, the reflections

99
00:07:07,342 --> 00:07:09,219
give the illusion of motion.

100
00:07:09,383 --> 00:07:10,851
Why are there rainbows?

101
00:07:10,967 --> 00:07:14,517
A prism, where the light
is bent by the glass-

102
00:07:18,008 --> 00:07:20,511
It wants to grow that way.

103
00:07:21,217 --> 00:07:22,844
Well,

104
00:07:26,008 --> 00:07:27,430
if that's what it wants,

105
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:31,018
we can move the path.

106
00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:33,927
Why not?

107
00:07:34,842 --> 00:07:36,264
C'mon. Come here.

108
00:07:38,633 --> 00:07:41,182
Yeah, right here. Throw a line over here.

109
00:07:41,842 --> 00:07:42,684
Over here.

110
00:07:44,050 --> 00:07:46,929
We cannot fight nature, Mero.

111
00:07:47,092 --> 00:07:48,264
To the right, to the right.

112
00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:50,927
What if no one comes?

113
00:07:51,092 --> 00:07:52,435
I hope no one comes.

114
00:07:52,592 --> 00:07:53,935
Ah, don't say that!

115
00:07:54,467 --> 00:07:56,640
I only want to look at you.

116
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,552
The Marquesa did promise...

117
00:07:59,008 --> 00:08:00,055
No, no.

118
00:08:00,258 --> 00:08:01,475
Not this time.

119
00:08:01,925 --> 00:08:04,144
De Los Rios is coming.

120
00:08:04,592 --> 00:08:06,310
You won't argue with him.

121
00:08:06,550 --> 00:08:10,054
The Great Sage of Cantabria, wise
on every subject, informed on none.

122
00:08:10,217 --> 00:08:12,720
Marcelino, please. Stop! Be serious.

123
00:08:13,175 --> 00:08:16,224
Not a word. Unless he says
something very foolish.

124
00:08:16,383 --> 00:08:18,681
Or should I say until? Yes, until.

125
00:08:54,133 --> 00:08:58,013
Gentlemen, it is all ready for you.
Will be just a few more minutes.

126
00:08:58,425 --> 00:09:02,601
Our ancestors lived
more than 10.000 years ago

127
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,053
in what is called the Old Stone Age
or Paleolithic Era.

128
00:09:05,467 --> 00:09:09,267
We don't know the age
of our planet or when mankind...

129
00:09:09,425 --> 00:09:11,974
Nonsense.
It has been calculated beyond a doubt

130
00:09:12,633 --> 00:09:14,727
that the Earth is
eighteen million years old.

131
00:09:14,842 --> 00:09:15,843
You can read it in my writings.

132
00:09:16,050 --> 00:09:18,052
Calculated, yes,

133
00:09:18,425 --> 00:09:21,679
beyond a doubt, no, Señor De Los Rios

134
00:09:22,008 --> 00:09:24,511
There are many who think
it may be a great deal older.

135
00:09:24,717 --> 00:09:25,809
And as to the Origins of Man...

136
00:09:25,967 --> 00:09:28,390
Doesn't the Bible tell us
what to think about Creation,

137
00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:30,473
- Father Tomas?
- Yes, Doña Elena.

138
00:09:30,633 --> 00:09:31,759
God created the World,

139
00:09:31,925 --> 00:09:35,680
but Biblical time
cannot be reckoned like a calendar.

140
00:09:36,258 --> 00:09:37,601
Thank you, Father Tomas.

141
00:09:37,758 --> 00:09:39,977
- Time for some more music?
- Some music.

142
00:09:40,175 --> 00:09:42,849
Everything we learned as children
is out of date.

143
00:09:43,008 --> 00:09:45,431
New discoveries
are being made at such a rate

144
00:09:45,592 --> 00:09:46,935
it's wise to keep an open mind.

145
00:09:47,092 --> 00:09:49,094
An open mind is an empty mind.

146
00:09:49,258 --> 00:09:52,467
And, to quote Plato, "an empty
vessel makes the most noise."

147
00:09:52,633 --> 00:09:54,101
Who makes the most noise here?

148
00:09:54,467 --> 00:09:55,844
Excuse me. What you said?

149
00:09:56,050 --> 00:09:59,725
Dear friends,
I hope you will indulge a mother.

150
00:09:59,842 --> 00:10:01,515
My daughter Maria Justina,

151
00:10:01,675 --> 00:10:05,179
will play Iradier's Habanera "La Paloma".

152
00:10:05,342 --> 00:10:08,141
I can't bear performing children.

153
00:10:08,342 --> 00:10:10,686
They're worse than trained monkeys.

154
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,384
Can I be sorry for my anger
and still be angry?

155
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:23,767
No, you can't.

156
00:10:23,925 --> 00:10:27,179
- Then I don't want to confess it.
- That's naughty, Maria.

157
00:10:29,133 --> 00:10:31,477
My dear, how are you?

158
00:10:31,633 --> 00:10:32,850
Hello, Elena.

159
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:36,509
Take no notice of Señor De Los Rios.

160
00:10:36,675 --> 00:10:38,552
I'm sure nobody else does.

161
00:10:38,717 --> 00:10:39,843
What do you mean?

162
00:10:40,050 --> 00:10:41,472
It's nothing.

163
00:10:41,842 --> 00:10:44,721
Only he's telling everyone
that his quarrel with Don Marcelino

164
00:10:44,842 --> 00:10:46,719
was the highpoint of the evening.

165
00:10:53,467 --> 00:10:54,969
Monsieur Ratier.

166
00:11:01,133 --> 00:11:02,726
Madame, this is an honor.

167
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:04,301
Good day.

168
00:11:04,467 --> 00:11:06,765
This is my husband, Don Marcelino,

169
00:11:06,925 --> 00:11:08,598
and our daughter, Maria.

170
00:11:10,050 --> 00:11:11,973
It's in a poor state, isn't it?

171
00:11:12,133 --> 00:11:13,931
Well, yes, it is.

172
00:11:14,092 --> 00:11:15,309
You are truly an artist.

173
00:11:16,175 --> 00:11:18,143
The colours are most impressive.

174
00:11:19,050 --> 00:11:20,347
Maria.

175
00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:21,802
You want to look at the carvings?

176
00:11:21,967 --> 00:11:24,015
- Good day to you, sir.
- Good day.

177
00:11:24,175 --> 00:11:25,768
I'll join you later.

178
00:11:25,967 --> 00:11:28,015
It's so beautiful.

179
00:11:29,092 --> 00:11:30,844
You know the trouble with anger?

180
00:11:31,758 --> 00:11:33,931
It's a pistol that backfires.

181
00:11:34,092 --> 00:11:37,426
It hurts you more
than the person you aim at.

182
00:11:39,967 --> 00:11:41,093
Excuse me.

183
00:11:41,925 --> 00:11:43,643
May I look?

184
00:11:48,133 --> 00:11:51,763
- Is it Paleo...
- Paleolithic.

185
00:11:52,925 --> 00:11:54,472
And it's perfect.

186
00:11:56,342 --> 00:11:58,470
Making a cutting edge like this

187
00:11:58,633 --> 00:12:01,842
requires of
a very sophisticated technique.

188
00:12:03,842 --> 00:12:04,843
Thank you.

189
00:12:05,050 --> 00:12:08,509
Please, where did you find it?

190
00:12:16,258 --> 00:12:17,350
Good morning.

191
00:12:17,550 --> 00:12:19,177
Modesto Cubillas.

192
00:12:19,342 --> 00:12:22,312
You remember, sir?
I showed you the cave before.

193
00:12:22,467 --> 00:12:23,719
Yes, indeed.

194
00:12:23,842 --> 00:12:25,185
You found a way in...

195
00:12:25,592 --> 00:12:27,310
No, it was the dog.

196
00:12:28,050 --> 00:12:30,519
I'm hunting rabbits and he gets lost.

197
00:12:30,675 --> 00:12:32,723
Then I search all over and then...

198
00:12:32,842 --> 00:12:33,968
Woof, woof!

199
00:12:34,175 --> 00:12:35,677
I pull back these brambles

200
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,724
and see the rocks have fallen in.
I put my head in and...

201
00:12:38,842 --> 00:12:41,265
"Are you there?"

202
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:44,428
Up he jumps and licks my face, sir.

203
00:12:44,633 --> 00:12:45,930
Let me see this.

204
00:12:53,383 --> 00:12:54,851
Want to take a look?

205
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,768
Pedro, Nero, come here.

206
00:13:04,133 --> 00:13:05,476
Widen the entrance a little more.

207
00:13:06,258 --> 00:13:08,431
I would like to get in tomorrow.

208
00:13:10,717 --> 00:13:11,593
Thank you, gentlemen.

209
00:13:11,758 --> 00:13:12,975
Maria, let's go.

210
00:13:13,133 --> 00:13:14,976
- Bye, Maria.
- Bye.

211
00:13:15,633 --> 00:13:17,385
They were big animals.

212
00:13:17,633 --> 00:13:20,182
The woolly mammoth
was bigger than an elephant,

213
00:13:20,342 --> 00:13:23,266
the aurochs, a cow like a cart horse.

214
00:13:23,425 --> 00:13:24,051
Why?

215
00:13:24,258 --> 00:13:27,967
It was very cold, the end of the Ice Age.

216
00:13:33,967 --> 00:13:35,219
It's broken.

217
00:13:36,383 --> 00:13:39,432
See how they split the bone
to reach the marrow fat,

218
00:13:39,592 --> 00:13:40,935
the richest part.

219
00:13:42,050 --> 00:13:43,472
Where did you find it?

220
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:44,847
There.

221
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,019
Moving pictures!

222
00:15:26,133 --> 00:15:27,555
Maria?

223
00:15:29,842 --> 00:15:31,264
Maria!

224
00:15:43,550 --> 00:15:45,473
Oxen, Papa, oxen!

225
00:15:46,217 --> 00:15:47,560
Look, Papa.

226
00:15:47,675 --> 00:15:50,474
- Dancing drawings, papa.
- Let's go back. It's cold in here.

227
00:15:50,633 --> 00:15:53,102
No! See? They move.

228
00:15:53,258 --> 00:15:55,010
Let's see, my dear. What moves?

229
00:15:55,758 --> 00:15:57,055
The stones!

230
00:15:57,258 --> 00:15:59,761
What is it? The stones look like oxen?

231
00:15:59,925 --> 00:16:01,802
No, look.

232
00:16:19,508 --> 00:16:21,135
There are many.

233
00:16:30,258 --> 00:16:31,726
It's wet.

234
00:16:32,383 --> 00:16:33,555
Wet.

235
00:16:37,633 --> 00:16:38,976
What is this?

236
00:16:39,175 --> 00:16:41,303
It's a whole herd, Papa.

237
00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:45,677
This one's standing
and this one isn't finished yet.

238
00:16:49,008 --> 00:16:50,851
- Who painted them, Papa?
- I don't know.

239
00:16:51,050 --> 00:16:52,347
Was it the primitives?

240
00:16:53,050 --> 00:16:54,973
I don't know, Maria.

241
00:17:23,175 --> 00:17:25,519
"Sealed up like a tomb"?

242
00:17:25,925 --> 00:17:27,802
And you let our daughter go inside?

243
00:17:28,008 --> 00:17:30,477
It was thousands of years ago,
a landslide.

244
00:17:30,633 --> 00:17:33,762
There could be another landslide
at any moment.

245
00:17:34,258 --> 00:17:35,635
How could you...?

246
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,349
Do you forget what day it is tomorrow?

247
00:17:39,633 --> 00:17:41,601
Our baby's name day.

248
00:17:43,258 --> 00:17:45,306
Of course I don't forget.

249
00:17:47,175 --> 00:17:49,553
I know how you feel, my love,

250
00:17:50,008 --> 00:17:52,431
but if we took no risks at all,

251
00:17:52,592 --> 00:17:54,720
not even sensible, careful risks,

252
00:17:54,842 --> 00:17:56,810
our lives would be very poor.

253
00:17:56,967 --> 00:17:59,265
Maria made a real discovery today.

254
00:17:59,633 --> 00:18:02,807
The wall paintings
in the church are very old.

255
00:18:02,967 --> 00:18:04,810
But these paintings are older, perhaps.

256
00:18:04,967 --> 00:18:05,763
How old?

257
00:18:06,133 --> 00:18:08,101
Ten thousand years. Maybe more.

258
00:18:08,717 --> 00:18:13,143
This is even before the time
of Adam and Eve. How can that be?

259
00:18:14,592 --> 00:18:17,596
You truly believe your cave people
could have been painters?

260
00:18:17,717 --> 00:18:20,061
Whoever did this was a great artist.

261
00:18:20,217 --> 00:18:21,810
As great as any in history.

262
00:18:21,967 --> 00:18:23,219
Miss Maria.

263
00:18:23,383 --> 00:18:25,101
Conchita, it's a miracle.

264
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:26,552
It's incredible.

265
00:18:26,675 --> 00:18:28,769
If I wouldn't have seen it
with my own eyes...

266
00:18:28,925 --> 00:18:30,677
I have to talk Professor Vilanova.

267
00:18:30,967 --> 00:18:33,937
And then we should get in contact
with Cartailhac.

268
00:18:34,092 --> 00:18:36,561
- This discovery is worthy of his genius.
- Enough!

269
00:18:37,758 --> 00:18:39,806
- Yes, Cartailhac.
- Maria!

270
00:18:43,300 --> 00:18:47,180
My discovery is worthy
of Cartailhac's genius.

271
00:18:47,342 --> 00:18:48,844
What do you say to that?

272
00:18:49,342 --> 00:18:51,140
Never heard of him.

273
00:18:54,633 --> 00:18:57,307
Papa told you about the oxen?

274
00:18:57,508 --> 00:18:59,727
Yes. And that you found them.

275
00:18:59,842 --> 00:19:01,844
You're not cross with me?

276
00:19:02,008 --> 00:19:03,976
Of course not, darling.

277
00:19:07,592 --> 00:19:11,426
And you're not cross with Papa
about Adam and Eve?

278
00:19:12,925 --> 00:19:15,269
Don't worry about such things.

279
00:19:15,675 --> 00:19:17,177
Go to sleep.

280
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,770
Paleolithic, Palaeolithic.

281
00:21:22,008 --> 00:21:25,717
Will you show me
your "long haired oxen", young lady?

282
00:21:26,008 --> 00:21:29,137
They aren't hairy oxen, Professor,

283
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:33,726
but bison which inhabited
this region during the Ice Age.

284
00:21:33,842 --> 00:21:35,685
Ahah! A young archaeologist.

285
00:21:44,842 --> 00:21:46,560
Look at this.

286
00:21:47,383 --> 00:21:49,181
And over here.

287
00:21:53,717 --> 00:21:55,310
Look at this.

288
00:21:57,008 --> 00:21:59,181
Look at his head.

289
00:22:01,217 --> 00:22:03,720
It looks as if it were painted yesterday.

290
00:22:03,925 --> 00:22:06,553
I wonder if this dark cave
may have preserved them

291
00:22:06,675 --> 00:22:08,348
perfectly down the centuries.

292
00:22:08,508 --> 00:22:11,557
Dating the work is problematic
without geological layers.

293
00:22:11,717 --> 00:22:13,640
The cave was sealed and we have found

294
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,098
nothing more recent
than the Upper Paleolithic,

295
00:22:16,508 --> 00:22:18,602
10.000 years by your calculations.

296
00:22:18,758 --> 00:22:22,513
There are carvings and engravings
from this period

297
00:22:22,717 --> 00:22:26,096
but they're small, portable, much like
the work of primitive peoples today.

298
00:22:26,258 --> 00:22:27,475
Nothing like this.

299
00:22:27,592 --> 00:22:31,347
We found this shell
just there by the wall.

300
00:22:33,425 --> 00:22:35,348
Traces of colour.

301
00:22:36,467 --> 00:22:38,640
Which could be red ochre.

302
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,723
Yes, yes, it's quite possible.

303
00:22:47,550 --> 00:22:50,520
So, Professor Vilanova,
what is your opinion?

304
00:22:52,508 --> 00:22:54,636
I've never seen anything like it:

305
00:22:55,175 --> 00:22:57,348
I don't believe anyone has.

306
00:22:57,550 --> 00:23:01,430
It simply doesn't fit
our ideas of Prehistoric Man.

307
00:23:01,550 --> 00:23:03,723
Perhaps all our ideas are wrong.

308
00:23:10,925 --> 00:23:12,552
Gentlemen, please!

309
00:23:12,758 --> 00:23:14,852
Respect for our distinguished visitor.

310
00:23:16,508 --> 00:23:20,593
Some of you have yourselves seen
the evidence of the cave:

311
00:23:21,092 --> 00:23:25,393
a polychrome wall painting
of extinct creatures

312
00:23:25,508 --> 00:23:27,510
in pristine condition.

313
00:23:27,633 --> 00:23:29,635
There is no other example

314
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,724
of such work
from the Paleolithic Era anywhere.

315
00:23:32,842 --> 00:23:34,765
Because they aren't Paleolithic.

316
00:23:36,425 --> 00:23:37,768
Sir.

317
00:23:39,425 --> 00:23:41,974
This is Paleolithic.

318
00:23:46,842 --> 00:23:51,143
And... this is Paleolithic.

319
00:23:53,008 --> 00:23:54,681
I have an extensive collection

320
00:23:55,717 --> 00:23:58,220
which the Council is very welcome to see,

321
00:23:58,383 --> 00:24:01,683
having made Prehistory
my study for several years.

322
00:24:02,342 --> 00:24:05,926
I realise this is a profoundly
shocking discovery.

323
00:24:06,092 --> 00:24:08,641
Or an absurd mistake
which will make us Cantabrians

324
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,223
the laughing stock throughout the world.

325
00:24:11,383 --> 00:24:15,058
May I ask, sir, how you would account
for the paintings?

326
00:24:17,550 --> 00:24:18,767
Certainly.

327
00:24:28,175 --> 00:24:30,223
They are the work

328
00:24:30,550 --> 00:24:32,393
of runaway slaves

329
00:24:32,717 --> 00:24:35,641
when this was a Roman province

330
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,973
some two thousand years ago.

331
00:24:38,175 --> 00:24:40,394
No doubt this beasts

332
00:24:40,758 --> 00:24:43,841
were still prevalent
in their barbarian homeland.

333
00:24:44,008 --> 00:24:47,342
There isn't one shred of evidence
to support that.

334
00:24:47,508 --> 00:24:50,933
There's nothing in the cave
less than ten thousand years old.

335
00:24:51,092 --> 00:24:54,221
Nothing that you've presented,

336
00:24:54,383 --> 00:24:55,851
but how can we be sure?

337
00:24:56,050 --> 00:24:58,098
Do you think I would distort the evidence?

338
00:25:00,133 --> 00:25:00,759
Sir?

339
00:25:00,925 --> 00:25:03,644
Gentlemen, please!
Allow the Professor to finish.

340
00:25:07,592 --> 00:25:12,598
I know what we are suggesting
appears extraordinary

341
00:25:13,383 --> 00:25:14,851
but these are the facts.

342
00:25:15,383 --> 00:25:17,681
That's monkeys with paintbrushes!

343
00:25:20,925 --> 00:25:23,553
We believe that if the cave

344
00:25:24,550 --> 00:25:26,302
is properly cared for,

345
00:25:27,258 --> 00:25:30,717
the international experts
we have invited to see the paintings

346
00:25:30,842 --> 00:25:33,140
will share our view

347
00:25:33,342 --> 00:25:35,811
that this discovery,

348
00:25:36,300 --> 00:25:38,177
in our province,

349
00:25:38,342 --> 00:25:42,677
is of enormous significance
in the History of Mankind.

350
00:25:57,175 --> 00:25:59,348
- Isn't that the wife?
- Yes.

351
00:26:00,008 --> 00:26:01,601
A good woman,

352
00:26:01,758 --> 00:26:03,226
devout,

353
00:26:03,633 --> 00:26:06,637
a great supporter of our church.

354
00:26:08,633 --> 00:26:11,307
She must be in need of guidance.

355
00:26:19,175 --> 00:26:20,848
Extraordinary.

356
00:26:21,008 --> 00:26:22,476
Consider this:

357
00:26:22,633 --> 00:26:26,558
a complete novice takes up
the latest Paris fashion

358
00:26:26,717 --> 00:26:30,472
and immediately it makes an "extraordinary"
discovery on his very doorstep.

359
00:26:31,133 --> 00:26:33,852
Don't you smell a fish?

360
00:26:35,050 --> 00:26:38,259
Professor Vilanova
is a true friend of the Church.

361
00:26:38,633 --> 00:26:42,718
He exposed the wild assumptions
made by the Darwinists

362
00:26:42,842 --> 00:26:44,765
to support their theory.

363
00:26:44,925 --> 00:26:49,010
I am surprised he should be party
to such rash speculation.

364
00:26:49,175 --> 00:26:50,722
Exactly.

365
00:26:50,842 --> 00:26:54,597
Only a child could be taken in
by such nonsense.

366
00:26:54,758 --> 00:26:56,351
"Oh, my clever papa!"

367
00:26:56,467 --> 00:26:57,559
Excuse me.

368
00:26:57,758 --> 00:27:00,637
Father Tomas, Monsignor.
I hope you don't think...

369
00:27:00,842 --> 00:27:02,765
Tush, tush.

370
00:27:02,967 --> 00:27:05,595
Glory, glory, my child.

371
00:27:07,050 --> 00:27:08,973
You'll come to me.

372
00:27:21,842 --> 00:27:24,391
Listen to this. Tablanca writes:

373
00:27:24,633 --> 00:27:28,638
"Sautuola seems more interested
in personal glory

374
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,303
than allowing proper investigation."

375
00:27:31,425 --> 00:27:34,053
Who is this Tablanca?

376
00:27:34,425 --> 00:27:36,519
His column is very popular.

377
00:27:37,008 --> 00:27:39,807
A moral commentary on affairs of the day.

378
00:27:41,008 --> 00:27:44,638
An immoral commentary.
Every word is twisted.

379
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,973
No reply from Cartailhac.

380
00:27:50,425 --> 00:27:53,019
Perhaps he disagrees with you.

381
00:27:57,508 --> 00:28:00,057
No one can believe it till they see them.

382
00:28:05,133 --> 00:28:06,510
You know?

383
00:28:06,675 --> 00:28:08,143
I was thinking

384
00:28:08,842 --> 00:28:13,177
if I sent some well-executed paintings.

385
00:28:13,342 --> 00:28:17,176
My rough sketches give no idea
of the colours, the artistry.

386
00:28:18,425 --> 00:28:21,269
That painter you have working
at the church,

387
00:28:22,092 --> 00:28:23,184
what's his name again?

388
00:28:23,342 --> 00:28:25,060
Paul?

389
00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:26,347
Paul Ratier.

390
00:28:26,842 --> 00:28:28,719
You want me to ask him?

391
00:28:32,258 --> 00:28:33,225
Yes.

392
00:28:40,008 --> 00:28:41,555
Monsieur Ratier.

393
00:28:42,008 --> 00:28:44,636
- Madame, what a pleasure.
- Good day.

394
00:28:45,258 --> 00:28:46,680
How is our mother, Eve?

395
00:28:46,842 --> 00:28:49,186
Very cheerful

396
00:28:49,342 --> 00:28:52,425
for someone about to bring
disaster on all Mankind.

397
00:28:52,925 --> 00:28:54,848
Just wonder if I should lessen her smile?

398
00:28:56,592 --> 00:28:59,141
It's her last moment safe
in the Bliss of God.

399
00:28:59,300 --> 00:29:01,803
Don't take that from her.

400
00:29:03,217 --> 00:29:06,426
- I knew you would have the answer.
- Are you allowed to change it?

401
00:29:06,592 --> 00:29:10,096
Maria, I am sure Monsieur Ratier
knows what he is doing.

402
00:29:10,258 --> 00:29:11,475
No, it's a good question.

403
00:29:11,633 --> 00:29:13,806
Sometimes a painting is so faded or broken

404
00:29:13,967 --> 00:29:15,640
it's hard to know what was intended.

405
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,144
You see here, at the corner of her mouth.

406
00:29:18,425 --> 00:29:21,634
Is that a curving lip
or a crack in the plaster?

407
00:29:22,133 --> 00:29:24,010
But you'll be changing History.

408
00:29:25,092 --> 00:29:27,015
Well, improving it a little.

409
00:29:28,175 --> 00:29:30,553
Did you come to see Father Tomas?
I think he's in the sacristy.

410
00:29:30,717 --> 00:29:34,301
No, it's you I wanted to see.

411
00:29:37,508 --> 00:29:38,384
Me?

412
00:29:39,467 --> 00:29:41,390
Isn't he handsome?!

413
00:29:41,633 --> 00:29:43,601
Maria Justina!

414
00:29:44,175 --> 00:29:46,177
It's a plain fact, Mama.

415
00:29:46,342 --> 00:29:49,551
One need not be afraid of stating facts.

416
00:29:49,717 --> 00:29:53,392
A lady should avoid stating facts
whenever possible.

417
00:29:53,508 --> 00:29:55,385
It's most unbecoming.

418
00:29:55,550 --> 00:29:59,680
Did you know that earthworms
can dig up to six feet underground?

419
00:29:59,842 --> 00:30:01,219
Really?

420
00:30:01,383 --> 00:30:03,636
That's what Mr. Darwin says.

421
00:30:04,175 --> 00:30:05,427
Did your father tell you that?

422
00:30:05,592 --> 00:30:07,640
Only about the earthworms.

423
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,848
He never tells me anything about Evolution

424
00:30:10,008 --> 00:30:12,386
and those things you fight about.

425
00:30:13,508 --> 00:30:15,010
Wait here.

426
00:30:19,425 --> 00:30:22,224
The Bible speaks clearly
about Adam and Eve.

427
00:30:22,383 --> 00:30:23,430
Correct.

428
00:30:23,592 --> 00:30:26,015
And who gave you your power of reason?

429
00:30:26,842 --> 00:30:27,934
God.

430
00:30:28,133 --> 00:30:30,352
So how could they be in conflict?

431
00:30:30,467 --> 00:30:34,517
If Faith and Reason seem at odds,
isn't terribly important.

432
00:30:34,675 --> 00:30:36,769
Our Holy Father instructs us

433
00:30:36,925 --> 00:30:41,806
that False Opinion has taken
the place of True Reason.

434
00:30:42,467 --> 00:30:46,142
I think of Galileo
and his punishment by the Church,

435
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:48,018
which now we know to have been wrong.

436
00:30:48,175 --> 00:30:49,301
Quite so,

437
00:30:49,425 --> 00:30:53,805
Galileo revealed the true workings
of the Divine Universe,

438
00:30:54,217 --> 00:30:57,346
but for the Darwinists
here is no Divine Being,

439
00:30:57,842 --> 00:31:01,016
no plan for Humanity or Creation,

440
00:31:01,175 --> 00:31:04,429
only the random workings of Nature,

441
00:31:04,633 --> 00:31:07,102
poorly described by Science.

442
00:31:07,508 --> 00:31:09,852
As we understand more,

443
00:31:10,008 --> 00:31:12,136
might not they too be proved right?

444
00:31:12,300 --> 00:31:15,383
This is not about
the orbit of Earth and Sun,

445
00:31:15,550 --> 00:31:21,011
this is Man setting his puny intellect
against the majesty of God.

446
00:31:21,217 --> 00:31:22,594
Rationalism...

447
00:31:23,008 --> 00:31:27,138
seeks to destroy the deepest
foundations of human society:

448
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:29,769
Love, Honour, Family.

449
00:31:29,925 --> 00:31:33,054
What use for them
in a purely rational world?

450
00:31:34,842 --> 00:31:37,186
I do worry that Maria...

451
00:31:37,342 --> 00:31:40,516
My husband... He takes
such a part in her education...

452
00:31:40,925 --> 00:31:42,552
My dear child,

453
00:31:43,217 --> 00:31:45,515
I share your concerns.

454
00:31:49,050 --> 00:31:50,597
Deeply.

455
00:32:06,508 --> 00:32:07,976
Who made the world?

456
00:32:08,175 --> 00:32:09,597
God made the world.

457
00:32:09,758 --> 00:32:10,429
Who is God?

458
00:32:10,592 --> 00:32:13,596
God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth

459
00:32:13,758 --> 00:32:15,351
and of all things.

460
00:32:15,508 --> 00:32:16,930
What is Man?

461
00:32:17,092 --> 00:32:20,596
Man is a creature composed
of body and soul,

462
00:32:20,758 --> 00:32:23,011
made in the image of God.

463
00:32:24,092 --> 00:32:26,686
Why did God make you, Maria?

464
00:32:26,842 --> 00:32:29,641
God made me to know Him, to love Him

465
00:32:30,050 --> 00:32:32,348
and to serve Him in this world.

466
00:32:33,550 --> 00:32:35,598
And does God want you to serve Him

467
00:32:36,258 --> 00:32:38,135
with half of your wits?

468
00:32:38,550 --> 00:32:40,097
With one hand in the air?

469
00:32:40,342 --> 00:32:41,514
No, Father.

470
00:32:41,675 --> 00:32:44,394
No, He does not.

471
00:32:44,592 --> 00:32:47,186
I was admiring his Creation, Father.

472
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:50,349
Did you know the very same bones
we have in our hands

473
00:32:50,508 --> 00:32:53,102
are in dolphins' flippers and bats' wings?

474
00:32:53,258 --> 00:32:54,851
Isn't that marvellous?

475
00:33:04,092 --> 00:33:06,845
- Who made the world?
- God made the world.

476
00:33:07,050 --> 00:33:08,097
Who is God?

477
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,302
That's not good.

478
00:33:34,133 --> 00:33:35,430
Your wife?

479
00:33:35,633 --> 00:33:36,805
She sounds good to me.

480
00:33:36,967 --> 00:33:38,514
Scarlatti.

481
00:33:38,925 --> 00:33:40,598
Only in times of strife.

482
00:33:41,092 --> 00:33:42,469
Wagner is the worst though.

483
00:33:43,217 --> 00:33:44,719
Then it's better not to be here!

484
00:33:45,217 --> 00:33:46,469
Thank you for the warning.

485
00:33:47,467 --> 00:33:48,969
A bowl?

486
00:33:49,175 --> 00:33:50,722
A discus?

487
00:33:53,967 --> 00:33:56,311
We are groping in the dark.

488
00:34:29,383 --> 00:34:31,602
Paleolithic. Paleolithic.

489
00:35:06,842 --> 00:35:09,140
Professor Vilanova, Monsieur Paul Ratier.

490
00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:10,847
- How do you do, sir?
- A great artist.

491
00:35:11,217 --> 00:35:13,219
Perhaps you can persuade my wife

492
00:35:13,342 --> 00:35:15,140
to come and seethe real thing.

493
00:35:15,592 --> 00:35:17,139
I don't think so, no.

494
00:35:17,925 --> 00:35:18,972
Please, come in.

495
00:35:20,342 --> 00:35:23,642
Like this they seem random
but each one is placed carefully

496
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,269
in exact relation to the rock formation.

497
00:35:28,008 --> 00:35:30,511
What of the quality? As an artist,

498
00:35:30,925 --> 00:35:32,427
what's your opinion?

499
00:35:33,758 --> 00:35:35,260
To be honest,

500
00:35:36,175 --> 00:35:38,223
I find them astonishing.

501
00:35:38,550 --> 00:35:41,679
There is an understanding of movement,
an energy,

502
00:35:41,842 --> 00:35:44,971
a direct observation of Nature
that seems wholly modern.

503
00:35:45,717 --> 00:35:49,517
I have to rethink everything
I had assumed about art.

504
00:35:49,675 --> 00:35:51,427
This is quite a shock.

505
00:35:51,592 --> 00:35:53,811
Hardly the work of monkeys then?

506
00:35:53,967 --> 00:35:55,264
Certainly not.

507
00:35:55,383 --> 00:35:57,351
Do you see, dear lady, what this means?

508
00:35:57,633 --> 00:35:59,385
Ten thousand years ago

509
00:35:59,550 --> 00:36:02,144
Mankind was as we are now,

510
00:36:02,258 --> 00:36:05,137
created with a soul in God's image.

511
00:36:05,258 --> 00:36:08,182
We have not evolved into Humanity,

512
00:36:08,425 --> 00:36:10,348
we have always been so.

513
00:36:10,508 --> 00:36:14,342
Do you think that the paintings
might be in accord with our faith?

514
00:36:14,508 --> 00:36:16,181
Faith and True Reason.

515
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:17,677
Conchita, my dear.

516
00:36:18,342 --> 00:36:20,640
If we are correct,

517
00:36:21,258 --> 00:36:23,636
then, the Primitive Man,

518
00:36:24,342 --> 00:36:29,644
at this time had the ability
to describe what he saw in paint.

519
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,427
That's all we know.

520
00:36:31,633 --> 00:36:35,263
We shouldn't try to fit the facts
to a set of beliefs.

521
00:36:37,175 --> 00:36:40,224
We have to wait for Cartailhac.

522
00:36:40,342 --> 00:36:42,811
If the mountain
will not come to Mahomet...

523
00:36:43,467 --> 00:36:44,969
With your permission

524
00:36:45,300 --> 00:36:48,099
I would like to present our findings

525
00:36:48,258 --> 00:36:51,592
at the International Conference
of Prehistory in Lisbon

526
00:36:51,758 --> 00:36:53,305
next month.

527
00:36:53,508 --> 00:36:55,931
It will be easy for the delegates
to come here afterwards.

528
00:36:56,092 --> 00:36:58,094
- You'll do that? Really?
- Of course.

529
00:37:00,592 --> 00:37:03,675
- Thank you, my friend.
- And you should come.

530
00:37:04,383 --> 00:37:05,726
Thank you.

531
00:37:07,383 --> 00:37:08,930
Conchita,

532
00:37:14,092 --> 00:37:15,969
you think...

533
00:37:16,758 --> 00:37:20,592
you think Religion and Science

534
00:37:20,758 --> 00:37:22,852
can't coexist, right?

535
00:37:23,050 --> 00:37:24,267
Right?

536
00:37:25,342 --> 00:37:26,594
My love,

537
00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:29,972
imagine...

538
00:37:30,508 --> 00:37:33,842
imagine that I am Science

539
00:37:36,008 --> 00:37:37,931
and you

540
00:37:38,092 --> 00:37:39,469
are Religion.

541
00:37:40,675 --> 00:37:41,767
Yes.

542
00:37:53,342 --> 00:37:55,219
I don't know if that's Science,

543
00:37:55,383 --> 00:37:58,262
but it is definitely not Religion.

544
00:38:02,633 --> 00:38:05,432
Water is denser than air,

545
00:38:05,592 --> 00:38:08,596
so as the light passes through each drop,

546
00:38:09,050 --> 00:38:11,394
it bends, the colours split

547
00:38:12,217 --> 00:38:14,094
and we see a rainbow.

548
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,850
So Noah's rainbow
was only reflections, not a promise?

549
00:38:19,425 --> 00:38:22,508
If we explore the mystery of Creation,

550
00:38:23,133 --> 00:38:25,261
discovering how it works,

551
00:38:25,967 --> 00:38:27,844
does that destroy its wonder?

552
00:38:28,008 --> 00:38:31,842
You know that a piece of music
is made of notes, chords,

553
00:38:32,008 --> 00:38:35,474
crotchets and rests, but that
doesn't stop it sounding lovely

554
00:38:35,675 --> 00:38:38,428
or inspiring beautiful thoughts.

555
00:38:38,592 --> 00:38:41,015
It does when I have to learn it.

556
00:38:41,633 --> 00:38:44,307
- My dear.
- This came by special messenger.

557
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,222
From Cartailhac?

558
00:38:48,092 --> 00:38:50,470
Open it, Papa, open it.

559
00:38:50,633 --> 00:38:51,555
Please.

560
00:38:58,675 --> 00:39:00,518
It seems that...

561
00:39:01,050 --> 00:39:02,677
His Majesty,

562
00:39:03,258 --> 00:39:04,851
holidaying in the region,

563
00:39:05,050 --> 00:39:06,518
would like to see the paintings.

564
00:39:06,675 --> 00:39:10,054
- The King! Oh, Papa!
- Precisely.

565
00:39:10,175 --> 00:39:12,223
The King! Alfonso XII.

566
00:39:22,342 --> 00:39:24,140
This are our workers.

567
00:39:24,550 --> 00:39:26,177
Very good work.

568
00:39:26,300 --> 00:39:27,472
Congratulations.

569
00:39:27,675 --> 00:39:31,600
Beg pardon, but this is the dog
that found the cave.

570
00:39:31,758 --> 00:39:33,180
And I am the dog's owner.

571
00:39:33,300 --> 00:39:34,552
So by rights I should get...

572
00:39:34,717 --> 00:39:37,266
Please, there is nothing to worry about.

573
00:39:37,425 --> 00:39:38,927
It is only a sheep dog.

574
00:39:39,133 --> 00:39:40,851
A now royal sheep dog.

575
00:39:41,342 --> 00:39:42,343
A dog!

576
00:39:42,508 --> 00:39:45,682
Yes, it was sheer fluke this discovery.

577
00:39:45,842 --> 00:39:49,301
De Los Rios, your most humble servant.

578
00:39:50,133 --> 00:39:51,430
As you may know, Your Majesty,

579
00:39:51,633 --> 00:39:55,137
I myself have made
many important finds in the region.

580
00:39:55,258 --> 00:39:56,305
Marquesa!

581
00:39:57,925 --> 00:40:00,678
Sir, this is my wife, Conchita.

582
00:40:01,133 --> 00:40:02,601
- Señora Sautuola.
- Your Majesty.

583
00:40:02,758 --> 00:40:05,261
Your husband has given Spain
something to be proud of.

584
00:40:05,842 --> 00:40:08,311
The whole world must know of this.

585
00:40:08,467 --> 00:40:09,684
Thank you, sir.

586
00:40:09,842 --> 00:40:11,936
And you must be the little bull-finder.

587
00:40:12,092 --> 00:40:13,059
Bravo!

588
00:40:14,342 --> 00:40:16,185
A photograph, please.

589
00:40:16,675 --> 00:40:17,847
Come along.

590
00:40:20,633 --> 00:40:21,600
Don Marcelino,

591
00:40:21,758 --> 00:40:24,728
congratulations once again
in your important discovery.

592
00:40:24,842 --> 00:40:26,560
Long live to the King!

593
00:40:39,300 --> 00:40:41,302
I was just thinking,

594
00:40:41,467 --> 00:40:43,811
before it was our secret.

595
00:40:44,508 --> 00:40:47,432
When you go to Lisbon
and tell Monsieur Cartailhac

596
00:40:47,592 --> 00:40:49,265
everyone will know.

597
00:40:49,842 --> 00:40:54,143
But it's good to share knowledge,
isn't it?

598
00:40:54,508 --> 00:40:55,851
Yes.

599
00:40:58,550 --> 00:41:00,268
Listen, Maria,

600
00:41:00,467 --> 00:41:03,437
When I first visited the cave,

601
00:41:03,633 --> 00:41:05,635
I saw nothing.

602
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,850
When I went back, we discovered the bison.

603
00:41:10,050 --> 00:41:13,099
Now, what was the difference?

604
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,428
You went to Paris and learned
from Monsieur Cartailhac.

605
00:41:18,383 --> 00:41:19,430
No.

606
00:41:20,592 --> 00:41:24,847
The difference was that you were there.

607
00:41:26,133 --> 00:41:29,342
You looked without prejudice.

608
00:41:31,050 --> 00:41:34,259
It will always be your discovery, Maria.

609
00:41:41,550 --> 00:41:42,642
Shall we?

610
00:41:44,258 --> 00:41:45,430
My lady.

611
00:42:20,508 --> 00:42:22,931
Monsieur Ratier.

612
00:42:39,008 --> 00:42:40,385
Monsignor.

613
00:42:41,092 --> 00:42:42,469
Isn't it good?

614
00:42:42,633 --> 00:42:43,429
Very good.

615
00:42:43,633 --> 00:42:46,386
We made a wise choice in Monsieur Ratier.

616
00:42:47,217 --> 00:42:49,845
I'm sorry you missed the King's visit.

617
00:42:50,050 --> 00:42:52,644
More excitement
than any of us can remember.

618
00:42:53,383 --> 00:42:55,681
You enjoyed yourself, I'm glad.

619
00:42:55,842 --> 00:42:58,391
But beware vainglory.

620
00:42:58,550 --> 00:43:01,599
Pride, intellectual pride or...

621
00:43:02,050 --> 00:43:04,678
a desire for worldly honour

622
00:43:04,842 --> 00:43:06,719
is a trap

623
00:43:06,842 --> 00:43:08,594
for the most pious.

624
00:43:08,925 --> 00:43:11,804
Remember the Scribes and Pharisees.

625
00:43:30,758 --> 00:43:33,136
Is this good enough for Lisbon next week?

626
00:43:33,633 --> 00:43:35,931
Do you still need to go?

627
00:43:36,092 --> 00:43:37,594
Now the King has been.

628
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:40,849
It's the largest ever
conference of Prehistory.

629
00:43:41,842 --> 00:43:45,722
Professor Vilanova does me
great honour to invite me.

630
00:43:45,842 --> 00:43:47,719
And they'll come on here?

631
00:43:48,633 --> 00:43:51,102
To begin the proper work
of examination, yes.

632
00:43:52,425 --> 00:43:54,143
They are atheists.

633
00:43:54,342 --> 00:43:56,811
It's a scientific meeting.

634
00:43:57,175 --> 00:43:59,803
We don't discuss such questions.

635
00:44:00,342 --> 00:44:03,391
What more can you need to know?

636
00:44:05,175 --> 00:44:07,052
Everything.

637
00:44:07,675 --> 00:44:09,052
Everything.

638
00:44:10,133 --> 00:44:12,181
How were they achieved?

639
00:44:13,008 --> 00:44:14,635
Were paintings common,

640
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,849
but all lost or undiscovered until now?

641
00:44:19,050 --> 00:44:21,553
Or is this the work of a lone genius,

642
00:44:21,717 --> 00:44:25,267
the Leonardo of the Paleolithic?

643
00:44:26,133 --> 00:44:28,511
The paintings are of bison,

644
00:44:28,717 --> 00:44:33,143
yet we haven't found
one single bison bone fragment

645
00:44:33,300 --> 00:44:34,677
in the cave.

646
00:44:34,842 --> 00:44:36,640
What was their purpose?

647
00:44:37,967 --> 00:44:40,561
Are we looking at a history?

648
00:44:41,092 --> 00:44:42,765
Celebration?

649
00:44:42,925 --> 00:44:44,393
Religion?

650
00:44:44,967 --> 00:44:47,641
Do you agree with Professor Vilanova?

651
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,679
You want to find the souls
of your cavemen.

652
00:44:50,842 --> 00:44:53,095
I want to understand the evidence.

653
00:44:55,675 --> 00:44:57,518
You should come to church.

654
00:45:21,092 --> 00:45:22,594
F sharp!

655
00:45:22,758 --> 00:45:23,975
F sharp.

656
00:45:25,217 --> 00:45:26,594
Pay attention.

657
00:45:32,383 --> 00:45:33,726
Mama.

658
00:45:35,092 --> 00:45:38,551
Monsieur Paul said
I could go drawing with him.

659
00:45:38,967 --> 00:45:40,139
May I?

660
00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:43,429
Drawing? Yes, I suppose so.

661
00:45:43,592 --> 00:45:46,391
But I don't want you in that cave
anymore. Don't be long.

662
00:45:46,550 --> 00:45:48,143
Yes, mama.

663
00:45:55,675 --> 00:45:58,019
Do you know how to do that?

664
00:45:59,758 --> 00:46:01,260
What are you doing?

665
00:46:01,842 --> 00:46:04,061
We need colours to paint.

666
00:46:06,008 --> 00:46:09,387
Did you know the world
used to be frozen all over,

667
00:46:09,550 --> 00:46:11,143
even the seas?

668
00:46:11,842 --> 00:46:14,436
So I could have walked
from here to America?

669
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:16,143
Skated.

670
00:46:16,300 --> 00:46:17,847
Do you want to go to America?

671
00:46:18,050 --> 00:46:19,302
Doesn't everyone?

672
00:46:19,467 --> 00:46:21,310
Mama and Papa don't.

673
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,518
They have everything they want here.

674
00:46:23,675 --> 00:46:24,801
Don't you?

675
00:46:27,092 --> 00:46:29,936
Me encanta tener
una guía tan experta como tú, pero...

676
00:46:30,217 --> 00:46:32,595
I hope I'm not taking you
from your lessons.

677
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,974
Papa thinks the best way to learn
is by doing.

678
00:46:36,592 --> 00:46:37,764
He's right.

679
00:46:38,592 --> 00:46:40,640
He's a very wise man, you know?

680
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,848
Was your father a painter?

681
00:46:43,550 --> 00:46:44,472
And his father too.

682
00:46:45,133 --> 00:46:49,092
Perhaps your great great great
great great great grandfather

683
00:46:49,300 --> 00:46:50,973
was a cave painter?

684
00:46:53,633 --> 00:46:55,806
I never thought about that.

685
00:46:55,967 --> 00:46:57,469
I like the idea.

686
00:46:58,258 --> 00:46:59,475
Let's make a cave painting.

687
00:47:03,633 --> 00:47:06,386
The cave master
must have planned it very well.

688
00:47:11,758 --> 00:47:13,055
I can't.

689
00:47:13,258 --> 00:47:14,726
Of course you can.

690
00:47:15,467 --> 00:47:18,141
Painting is looking. That is all.

691
00:47:20,925 --> 00:47:23,769
You know? You'll always be the girl

692
00:47:23,925 --> 00:47:26,474
who discovered
the oldest paintings in the world.

693
00:47:26,633 --> 00:47:29,682
Not many people do anything in their
whole life that comes close to that.

694
00:47:31,425 --> 00:47:33,553
Let alone at nine years old.

695
00:47:34,258 --> 00:47:36,260
Is it true? Tell me.

696
00:47:36,425 --> 00:47:37,426
Yes.

697
00:47:37,842 --> 00:47:38,968
Try it.

698
00:47:43,217 --> 00:47:44,764
This is too much.

699
00:47:44,925 --> 00:47:46,427
I'll give you some.

700
00:47:47,175 --> 00:47:48,768
It's late.

701
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,518
I must go home.

702
00:47:57,258 --> 00:47:58,510
Hide your hands.

703
00:48:01,258 --> 00:48:02,760
Good evening, sir.

704
00:48:10,175 --> 00:48:11,552
What a face!

705
00:48:11,758 --> 00:48:12,975
I would like to paint him.

706
00:48:13,092 --> 00:48:16,221
He's a horrid old cave bear!

707
00:48:25,133 --> 00:48:27,010
- Oh, no!
- What?

708
00:48:27,383 --> 00:48:28,930
Wagner.

709
00:48:36,550 --> 00:48:37,676
Thank you.

710
00:48:39,758 --> 00:48:41,305
Maria! Maria!

711
00:48:44,592 --> 00:48:46,094
Bravo!

712
00:48:46,258 --> 00:48:47,805
Au revoir.

713
00:49:29,758 --> 00:49:31,305
That's what I have been told.

714
00:49:32,175 --> 00:49:34,553
That your husband
does not believe in the Bible.

715
00:49:35,717 --> 00:49:38,971
That he's using the paintings
to harm the Church.

716
00:49:39,133 --> 00:49:40,350
He would never...

717
00:49:40,508 --> 00:49:42,681
He doesn't think like that, Elena.

718
00:49:43,342 --> 00:49:44,810
I'm just telling you

719
00:49:44,967 --> 00:49:46,935
so it doesn't catch you unaware.

720
00:49:47,050 --> 00:49:48,222
Father Tomas.

721
00:49:48,383 --> 00:49:50,431
I am glad you are here, my child.

722
00:49:50,633 --> 00:49:51,976
I am always here, Father.

723
00:49:52,092 --> 00:49:54,094
You have been working
for him in that cave.

724
00:49:54,675 --> 00:49:56,018
Don't deny it.

725
00:49:56,258 --> 00:50:00,343
The Monsignor has a special
message from the Bishop,

726
00:50:00,508 --> 00:50:02,761
in the light of all the recent...

727
00:50:02,967 --> 00:50:04,560
disturbance.

728
00:50:05,342 --> 00:50:06,844
Your husband is coming?

729
00:50:07,008 --> 00:50:10,091
He's preparing his findings
to present to the world's experts.

730
00:50:12,633 --> 00:50:14,977
For the greater glory of God.

731
00:50:16,175 --> 00:50:19,429
Beware those who fall into the Abyss

732
00:50:20,508 --> 00:50:23,352
of materialism and atheism.

733
00:50:23,508 --> 00:50:26,717
They labour to destroy
the deepest foundations

734
00:50:27,425 --> 00:50:29,519
of human society.

735
00:50:30,050 --> 00:50:33,805
They call
the Divine Scripture "mythology".

736
00:50:34,092 --> 00:50:36,561
They deny the Virgin Birth.

737
00:50:36,717 --> 00:50:38,560
They attack the Holy Family.

738
00:50:38,717 --> 00:50:40,264
Think then of the peril

739
00:50:40,425 --> 00:50:43,975
should your children be exposed
to their heresy.

740
00:50:44,925 --> 00:50:48,600
These are grave and bitter evils.

741
00:50:48,842 --> 00:50:52,051
Anyone who does not confess

742
00:50:52,217 --> 00:50:54,936
that the world and all things in it

743
00:50:55,050 --> 00:50:58,304
are created for the glory of God,

744
00:51:02,175 --> 00:51:04,269
let him be anathema,

745
00:51:05,508 --> 00:51:07,510
cast out from the Church.

746
00:51:25,675 --> 00:51:27,473
I'm going to the cave.

747
00:51:47,550 --> 00:51:50,599
The primitives didn't have an easy life.

748
00:51:50,925 --> 00:51:53,599
No one has an easy life, Maria.

749
00:52:02,925 --> 00:52:04,142
Visitors.

750
00:52:06,050 --> 00:52:07,973
We were expecting you.

751
00:52:08,175 --> 00:52:09,722
Edouard Harlé,

752
00:52:10,425 --> 00:52:11,768
at your service.

753
00:52:12,925 --> 00:52:13,926
Sautuola.

754
00:52:14,092 --> 00:52:16,641
You have come
on behalf of Monsieur Cartailhac?

755
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:17,847
Oh, yes.

756
00:52:17,967 --> 00:52:20,641
You are very welcome. Very welcome indeed.

757
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:22,928
You are on the way to Lisbon,
to the conference.

758
00:52:23,092 --> 00:52:24,514
That's the one.

759
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:25,517
Ratier.

760
00:52:29,467 --> 00:52:31,845
Please, won't you come in?

761
00:52:32,008 --> 00:52:34,511
It will give me great pleasure
to show you the cave.

762
00:52:34,675 --> 00:52:38,179
I would prefer to see for myself,

763
00:52:38,383 --> 00:52:39,680
if you permit.

764
00:52:42,342 --> 00:52:43,844
As you wish, yes.

765
00:52:44,550 --> 00:52:45,847
Yes, please.

766
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,143
You're gonna need this.

767
00:52:50,967 --> 00:52:52,435
Of course.

768
00:53:05,842 --> 00:53:07,844
Look at the depth of colour,

769
00:53:08,050 --> 00:53:09,802
the definition.

770
00:53:09,925 --> 00:53:12,849
There is no sign of weathering.

771
00:53:20,383 --> 00:53:23,353
The paint is actually fresh!

772
00:53:29,008 --> 00:53:30,134
Half an hour.

773
00:53:30,467 --> 00:53:31,969
What are they doing there?

774
00:53:33,883 --> 00:53:36,181
That's good, a deer.

775
00:53:36,342 --> 00:53:39,972
Whoever did paint this
he has quite a talent.

776
00:53:40,425 --> 00:53:43,304
- Ratier.
- But those tiny legs...

777
00:53:44,258 --> 00:53:47,387
He has the proportion all wrong.

778
00:53:48,092 --> 00:53:50,561
It is all too evident
he has never seen an aurochs.

779
00:53:50,717 --> 00:53:52,640
It's not an aurochs. It's a bison!

780
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:54,973
- Damn child again.
- Who is she?

781
00:53:55,133 --> 00:53:56,555
What are you doing in here?

782
00:53:56,717 --> 00:53:59,015
You are spying. Out! Go on!

783
00:54:00,758 --> 00:54:01,759
Get out!

784
00:54:02,092 --> 00:54:03,639
What are you doing here?

785
00:54:04,842 --> 00:54:06,515
- This is my cave.
- Get out!

786
00:54:06,675 --> 00:54:07,972
Go on!

787
00:54:08,467 --> 00:54:10,515
Typical crackpot nonsense,

788
00:54:10,675 --> 00:54:13,144
allowing a childplay in here.

789
00:54:13,300 --> 00:54:15,177
This child made the discovery.

790
00:54:15,342 --> 00:54:16,935
Whereas you, sir,

791
00:54:17,092 --> 00:54:18,685
no one invited you here.

792
00:54:18,842 --> 00:54:21,186
So take your malicious opinion
and get out.

793
00:54:21,425 --> 00:54:22,677
Out!

794
00:54:30,842 --> 00:54:34,221
He's a liar. And the other one
is an idiot who knows nothing!

795
00:54:34,383 --> 00:54:35,179
Enough.

796
00:54:35,342 --> 00:54:37,219
This is a very important visit

797
00:54:37,383 --> 00:54:39,306
and it must be conducted
in a scientific manner.

798
00:54:39,467 --> 00:54:40,559
Sir, please.

799
00:54:40,717 --> 00:54:41,684
But they don't understand-

800
00:54:41,842 --> 00:54:43,310
Ratier, please take her outside.

801
00:54:43,467 --> 00:54:44,434
- Please, come.
- They don't.

802
00:54:44,592 --> 00:54:45,764
Come with me. Come.

803
00:54:46,925 --> 00:54:48,051
Shut up!

804
00:54:48,717 --> 00:54:50,594
The rest of the cave. Sir, please.

805
00:55:14,342 --> 00:55:15,810
Were have you been?

806
00:55:18,550 --> 00:55:20,644
Maria, darling, are you alright?

807
00:55:56,008 --> 00:55:57,385
Papa!

808
00:56:55,508 --> 00:56:57,385
The air in that cave is bad.

809
00:56:57,550 --> 00:57:00,303
- It's an evil place.
- There are other cases in town.

810
00:57:00,467 --> 00:57:04,017
- They haven't been in the cave.
- Everyone's been in that hateful cave.

811
00:57:04,633 --> 00:57:06,135
See what you've done,

812
00:57:06,300 --> 00:57:08,223
digging up things best left alone!

813
00:57:08,383 --> 00:57:09,635
Best left alone. Why?

814
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,269
So that we can continue
in ignorance and error?

815
00:57:12,425 --> 00:57:14,143
You have no respect
for the way things are.

816
00:57:14,342 --> 00:57:16,936
No. If they're wrong, no.

817
00:57:17,383 --> 00:57:19,477
You're so arrogant.

818
00:57:19,675 --> 00:57:21,552
You think anyone
who disagrees with you is a fool.

819
00:57:21,758 --> 00:57:24,477
- No. But this blinkered dogmatic view...
- Dogmatic?

820
00:57:25,092 --> 00:57:27,595
You've lost your Faith
and you want to take mine.

821
00:57:27,758 --> 00:57:29,700
It has nothing to do with Faith,
only logic.

822
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:30,801
If your Faith gives you comfort...

823
00:57:31,008 --> 00:57:33,102
Don't treat me like a child.

824
00:57:33,258 --> 00:57:34,700
Do you think it's easy to believe?

825
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,894
To believe in a loving

826
00:57:37,050 --> 00:57:38,802
all-powerful deity

827
00:57:38,967 --> 00:57:42,392
who want only destroys his Creation.
No, I don't think it's easy.

828
00:57:42,592 --> 00:57:44,811
You hate God for taking our babies.

829
00:57:44,925 --> 00:57:47,474
I didn't say that, don't twist my words.

830
00:57:47,675 --> 00:57:49,803
You should not have care of a child.

831
00:57:49,967 --> 00:57:52,436
It's not me that fills her head
with Sin and Hell.

832
00:57:52,592 --> 00:57:53,593
I won't listen to this.

833
00:57:53,758 --> 00:57:55,886
Because you have no arguments
on your side, my dear.

834
00:57:56,092 --> 00:57:58,811
Please stop. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

835
00:57:59,008 --> 00:58:00,931
It's alright, It's alright.

836
00:58:01,342 --> 00:58:04,141
Go. Go back to your cave.

837
00:58:51,592 --> 00:58:52,889
Professor.

838
00:58:53,050 --> 00:58:54,393
Marcelino.

839
00:58:56,592 --> 00:58:58,936
It isn't better to reveal them
in your lecture?

840
00:58:59,092 --> 00:59:01,700
I am told there is some resistance.

841
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,805
The very idea of paintings of this age
is difficult to grasp.

842
00:59:06,633 --> 00:59:08,761
It's going to be a sensation.

843
00:59:09,467 --> 00:59:11,185
Esteemed colleagues.

844
00:59:14,008 --> 00:59:16,602
So many distinguished experts.

845
00:59:18,675 --> 00:59:21,929
Perhaps we in Spain can't claim the...

846
00:59:22,092 --> 00:59:24,140
eminence of France

847
00:59:24,300 --> 00:59:28,225
but the good Lord has seen fit
to bless us with a miraculous discovery.

848
00:59:30,425 --> 00:59:33,269
From this day we must begin again,

849
00:59:33,425 --> 00:59:37,225
to construct a new history of Mankind.

850
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:43,759
This discovery is a profound challenge
to my own beliefs.

851
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,974
But it is not for me
to tell you about our findings.

852
00:59:51,967 --> 00:59:53,514
You don't know him yet,

853
00:59:53,717 --> 00:59:57,642
but I am sure he will soon
be a famous name around the world

854
00:59:57,758 --> 01:00:01,388
Gentlemen, Don Marcelino Sautuola.

855
01:00:01,550 --> 01:00:02,767
Marcelino, come!

856
01:00:13,508 --> 01:00:16,307
Thank you, Professor Vilanova.

857
01:00:19,300 --> 01:00:20,517
I...

858
01:00:24,508 --> 01:00:26,010
Gentlemen,

859
01:00:27,383 --> 01:00:30,717
this is a very great honour, indeed.

860
01:00:33,425 --> 01:00:35,928
I'm only a foot soldier

861
01:00:36,300 --> 01:00:37,392
but here I am,

862
01:00:37,925 --> 01:00:40,348
addressing the generals!

863
01:01:01,592 --> 01:01:04,436
It seems quite plausible to suggest

864
01:01:05,217 --> 01:01:07,811
that these remarkable paintings,

865
01:01:08,008 --> 01:01:10,887
which mainly represent
animals not seen in the region

866
01:01:11,050 --> 01:01:12,552
since the last Ice Age,

867
01:01:12,925 --> 01:01:14,973
these masterpieces

868
01:01:16,133 --> 01:01:18,727
date from the same period.

869
01:01:22,467 --> 01:01:23,719
Thank you.

870
01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,759
I take my hat off to you,
Professor Vilanova.

871
01:01:33,008 --> 01:01:34,681
You have astonished us.

872
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:39,055
I do not blame Monsieur Sautuola,
a mere amateur,

873
01:01:39,217 --> 01:01:43,973
for his failure to understand
the basic principles of our science.

874
01:01:44,300 --> 01:01:46,302
We do not expect miracles,

875
01:01:46,467 --> 01:01:48,720
those went out with the Enlightenment.

876
01:01:49,967 --> 01:01:54,052
We have now a very complete record
of Prehistoric Man.

877
01:01:54,217 --> 01:01:56,015
I must inform you, sir,

878
01:01:56,425 --> 01:01:59,884
that this record does not include
any evidence of wall painting,

879
01:02:00,175 --> 01:02:01,802
not even a stick man.

880
01:02:02,008 --> 01:02:05,137
That's why we urge you to visit the cave.

881
01:02:05,300 --> 01:02:06,768
We were as amazed as you.

882
01:02:06,925 --> 01:02:08,643
It is quite impossible that primitive man,

883
01:02:08,758 --> 01:02:10,010
with his rudimentary brain,

884
01:02:10,217 --> 01:02:12,891
could create such elaborate works.

885
01:02:14,092 --> 01:02:15,810
Do you deny Evolution, sir?

886
01:02:16,925 --> 01:02:18,552
Indeed not.

887
01:02:18,717 --> 01:02:19,718
But if there is evidence...

888
01:02:19,883 --> 01:02:23,558
Show me this evidence that sweeps
aside the whole of Prehistory

889
01:02:23,717 --> 01:02:25,890
as we, poor fools, understand it.

890
01:02:26,050 --> 01:02:27,893
That's what we're trying to do.

891
01:02:28,258 --> 01:02:30,977
It's all there, in the cave.

892
01:02:31,717 --> 01:02:33,310
But... Hold on.

893
01:02:35,967 --> 01:02:36,968
This.

894
01:02:37,300 --> 01:02:39,473
You will see the same animal

895
01:02:39,633 --> 01:02:41,510
in the same style

896
01:02:42,008 --> 01:02:44,056
on a small stone

897
01:02:44,717 --> 01:02:45,764
found on the site.

898
01:02:45,925 --> 01:02:47,723
We are not discussing portable works

899
01:02:47,883 --> 01:02:52,639
but a vast fresco painted by
a Paleolithic Michelangelo

900
01:02:52,925 --> 01:02:55,053
or perhaps a tribe of Michelangelos.

901
01:02:55,217 --> 01:02:58,801
You don't want to admit evidence
that challenges your beautiful theory,

902
01:02:58,967 --> 01:03:00,969
but that is not good Science, sir.

903
01:03:01,175 --> 01:03:03,428
This is a very serious matter.

904
01:03:03,925 --> 01:03:05,802
Monsieur Harlé has examined the paintings

905
01:03:06,008 --> 01:03:08,602
and they are nothing more
than crude forgeries.

906
01:03:09,258 --> 01:03:10,931
- What?
- C'est un scandal!

907
01:03:11,383 --> 01:03:12,805
Monsieur Harlé reports

908
01:03:13,008 --> 01:03:16,717
that the paintings could not have been
made without artificial light

909
01:03:16,883 --> 01:03:20,262
and yet there are no soot marks
on the ceiling

910
01:03:20,425 --> 01:03:23,429
as would be inevitable
with primitive torches.

911
01:03:23,925 --> 01:03:28,017
Furthermore, in ancient rock paintings,
the pigment sinks into the stone,

912
01:03:28,175 --> 01:03:31,975
but here it's on the surface
and quite fresh.

913
01:03:32,133 --> 01:03:35,683
In places the pigment has even been
laid on top of a layer of calcite.

914
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,474
But in other places
it is beneath the calcite...

915
01:03:38,633 --> 01:03:39,304
Evidence!

916
01:03:39,467 --> 01:03:41,811
Here is the evidence. Found at the site.

917
01:03:42,467 --> 01:03:43,764
Fresh paint!

918
01:03:43,967 --> 01:03:44,809
What is this?

919
01:03:46,508 --> 01:03:49,136
Please, this is not the case.

920
01:03:50,342 --> 01:03:54,222
I agree the freshness
of the paintings is surprising

921
01:03:54,425 --> 01:03:56,143
but when you consider
that the cave was closed

922
01:03:56,300 --> 01:03:57,927
for thousands of years, possibly...

923
01:03:58,092 --> 01:04:01,016
A painter was seen painting
in the Altamira cave.

924
01:04:01,175 --> 01:04:02,597
Do you deny it? Do you deny it?

925
01:04:02,758 --> 01:04:05,352
I don't know what you are saying, sir.

926
01:04:06,383 --> 01:04:07,976
Sir, you can't close your eyes.

927
01:04:08,133 --> 01:04:09,976
It's against Science, against Truth,

928
01:04:10,133 --> 01:04:11,680
Monsieur Cartailhac,

929
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,098
this could be
the greatest discovery of our age!

930
01:04:14,258 --> 01:04:16,511
Won't you even look, sir?

931
01:04:17,342 --> 01:04:19,060
I know what I would find, sir.

932
01:04:19,217 --> 01:04:20,685
You are a forger.

933
01:04:22,550 --> 01:04:23,927
You should be ashamed.

934
01:06:14,258 --> 01:06:15,805
Papa?

935
01:06:26,925 --> 01:06:30,099
I deeply regret any trouble I caused, sir.

936
01:06:30,592 --> 01:06:32,219
Your concern comes too late.

937
01:06:32,383 --> 01:06:33,475
The damage is done.

938
01:06:33,633 --> 01:06:36,557
You left a trail like
a murderer's bloody footprints!

939
01:06:36,675 --> 01:06:38,973
They were technical studies.
I never thought they would twist it.

940
01:06:39,133 --> 01:06:42,933
It's as if you worked for them, you
made it so easy to prove their case.

941
01:06:43,425 --> 01:06:46,429
Every other objection
we could have answered...

942
01:06:47,133 --> 01:06:48,635
Except the light.

943
01:06:49,175 --> 01:06:50,518
The light.

944
01:06:52,008 --> 01:06:56,184
I don't understand
why there are no soot marks.

945
01:06:59,967 --> 01:07:02,891
I was trying to follow your own method
and experiment, that's all.

946
01:07:03,883 --> 01:07:05,430
I can only say I'm sorry.
What else can I do?

947
01:07:05,592 --> 01:07:06,593
Nothing, nothing.

948
01:07:07,133 --> 01:07:09,386
You've already done more than enough.

949
01:07:09,550 --> 01:07:11,644
What are you doing? No.

950
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,973
Please!

951
01:07:17,008 --> 01:07:19,056
Stop it, stop it!

952
01:07:20,008 --> 01:07:21,351
He only did as you asked.

953
01:07:21,508 --> 01:07:23,727
Don't shoot your anger at him.
I made us paint there,

954
01:07:23,883 --> 01:07:25,476
I upset that horrid cave bear.

955
01:07:25,633 --> 01:07:28,512
I found the bison. It's all my fault.

956
01:07:29,258 --> 01:07:32,387
You hate him because he loves Mama.

957
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:37,347
Maria!

958
01:07:42,092 --> 01:07:43,560
Go to your room.

959
01:07:46,133 --> 01:07:47,806
Go to your room, now!

960
01:07:48,050 --> 01:07:50,519
I hate it, I hate your cave.

961
01:07:50,633 --> 01:07:53,227
I wish I'd never seen it.

962
01:07:58,467 --> 01:08:01,186
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.

963
01:08:04,925 --> 01:08:06,222
Maria!

964
01:08:08,717 --> 01:08:09,718
Maria!

965
01:10:29,675 --> 01:10:31,552
I am so sorry.

966
01:10:31,925 --> 01:10:34,929
Madame, I have met forgers

967
01:10:35,342 --> 01:10:39,802
and those who commission forgeries
in my line of work, it's inevitable.

968
01:10:40,008 --> 01:10:40,930
I know you wouldn't...

969
01:10:41,092 --> 01:10:44,596
Yes, but a forgery is always
an expected piece,

970
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:47,644
one of a series or like existing works.

971
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:49,802
So that the market will want it.

972
01:10:51,050 --> 01:10:53,974
But no one would ever fake

973
01:10:54,175 --> 01:10:56,269
something so original,

974
01:10:56,425 --> 01:10:58,723
so unlikely

975
01:10:59,050 --> 01:11:01,223
as the bison of Altamira.

976
01:11:05,675 --> 01:11:07,473
Thank you, Paul.

977
01:11:08,550 --> 01:11:10,302
You are a good man.

978
01:11:17,342 --> 01:11:19,140
He is a good man.

979
01:11:20,925 --> 01:11:22,643
A visionary.

980
01:11:23,758 --> 01:11:27,638
This kind of man always attract
the envy of little man.

981
01:11:56,300 --> 01:11:58,928
I've written to Ratier

982
01:12:00,217 --> 01:12:01,469
to apologise.

983
01:12:01,592 --> 01:12:03,890
I must apologise to you.

984
01:12:05,175 --> 01:12:09,180
I spoke to Monsignor
of my fears for Maria.

985
01:12:09,342 --> 01:12:10,059
You're right.

986
01:12:10,258 --> 01:12:12,932
I never meant
you're not fit to be a father.

987
01:12:13,092 --> 01:12:14,765
I shouldn't be near her.

988
01:12:15,592 --> 01:12:17,265
I am a fool.

989
01:12:18,383 --> 01:12:20,977
Or worse, a liar.

990
01:12:25,675 --> 01:12:27,769
In all these years I have known you

991
01:12:27,967 --> 01:12:31,517
I have never heard you say
one word that you knew to be untrue.

992
01:12:31,675 --> 01:12:32,801
Please, Conchita...

993
01:12:32,967 --> 01:12:35,311
Why would you choose to start now?

994
01:12:41,758 --> 01:12:44,261
To make a name for myself.

995
01:12:45,675 --> 01:12:49,179
Make fools of other Prehistorians.

996
01:12:52,550 --> 01:12:55,804
To garner glory for Spain.

997
01:12:56,717 --> 01:12:58,310
Spain.

998
01:12:58,967 --> 01:13:00,935
Beautiful and...

999
01:13:01,717 --> 01:13:03,560
so unfair.

1000
01:13:06,133 --> 01:13:10,764
To pretend an important discovery

1001
01:13:11,883 --> 01:13:15,342
could be made by a mere Spaniard.

1002
01:13:15,508 --> 01:13:18,227
None of those
could possibly be your motive.

1003
01:13:18,633 --> 01:13:21,102
Conchita, I believed in Science

1004
01:13:21,258 --> 01:13:23,431
with a dogmatic Faith,

1005
01:13:24,383 --> 01:13:26,556
forgetting it is made by men

1006
01:13:27,300 --> 01:13:29,473
in their own image.

1007
01:13:31,258 --> 01:13:34,808
I risked everything I hold dear

1008
01:13:35,008 --> 01:13:36,806
for nothing.

1009
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:43,518
Forgive me.

1010
01:13:54,175 --> 01:13:56,018
- Where are we going?
- Confession.

1011
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,177
Did you just sin?

1012
01:13:58,342 --> 01:14:00,140
To the church, please.

1013
01:14:07,633 --> 01:14:10,136
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

1014
01:14:10,592 --> 01:14:13,516
It is two days since my last confession.

1015
01:14:14,550 --> 01:14:18,259
Since then I've discovered
your treachery, Father.

1016
01:14:19,633 --> 01:14:22,386
Or should I say "Señor Tablanca"?

1017
01:14:22,550 --> 01:14:24,177
Shame on you.

1018
01:14:30,133 --> 01:14:32,056
How dare you come here and accuse me?

1019
01:14:32,217 --> 01:14:34,470
You accepted my confidences

1020
01:14:34,592 --> 01:14:36,435
and then used them against my husband,

1021
01:14:36,550 --> 01:14:38,052
that's treachery...

1022
01:14:38,217 --> 01:14:40,515
We did not speak
under the seal of the confessional.

1023
01:14:40,675 --> 01:14:41,972
Oh, you and your rules!

1024
01:14:42,133 --> 01:14:43,555
To twist my words,

1025
01:14:43,717 --> 01:14:45,890
to accuse him
of "perverting a child's mind."

1026
01:14:46,050 --> 01:14:48,303
What does your husband do
but stir upon thinking minds

1027
01:14:48,467 --> 01:14:49,969
to doubt the teachings of the Church?

1028
01:14:50,133 --> 01:14:53,763
His cave obscures
the pure light of Divine Reason

1029
01:14:53,925 --> 01:14:55,268
with muddy accident.

1030
01:14:55,425 --> 01:14:58,395
I read your articles, Monsignor Tablanca.

1031
01:14:58,925 --> 01:15:02,384
I don't care to hear them repeated,
however nice your phrasing.

1032
01:15:02,508 --> 01:15:05,261
My duty is to protect
the Faith of the Church.

1033
01:15:05,425 --> 01:15:09,305
My duty is to my husband,
who hasn't one deceitful bone in.

1034
01:15:09,467 --> 01:15:11,435
You place your husband before God?!

1035
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,804
Not before God, before you.

1036
01:15:16,925 --> 01:15:19,474
It's time to make your confession,
my child,

1037
01:15:19,633 --> 01:15:22,386
before you sink deeper in error.

1038
01:15:22,967 --> 01:15:24,969
Confess to you, Monsignor?

1039
01:15:25,133 --> 01:15:27,682
And read my sins in tomorrow's paper?

1040
01:15:45,467 --> 01:15:47,561
Mama, have you got the fever?

1041
01:15:48,467 --> 01:15:50,890
No, quite cool.

1042
01:15:51,300 --> 01:15:53,177
Not a word to papa.

1043
01:16:16,550 --> 01:16:20,259
Carried out by a mere amateur,

1044
01:16:20,425 --> 01:16:23,634
this research may yet help men of Science

1045
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,100
tear aside the veil of ignorance

1046
01:16:27,258 --> 01:16:30,307
and prove beyond doubt

1047
01:16:30,425 --> 01:16:35,431
that these paintings
are of truly ancient origin.

1048
01:16:52,342 --> 01:16:53,810
What is that?

1049
01:16:54,092 --> 01:16:55,594
Marrow fat.

1050
01:16:55,758 --> 01:16:58,386
Makes the best lamp oil.

1051
01:16:58,508 --> 01:16:59,885
Why?

1052
01:17:00,050 --> 01:17:02,769
Clear and steady. And no soot marks.

1053
01:17:02,967 --> 01:17:04,935
Why no soot marks?

1054
01:17:05,092 --> 01:17:06,890
It's a good question.

1055
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,677
A very good question, indeed.

1056
01:17:14,550 --> 01:17:18,259
Excuse me, Pasi.
May I borrow that for a moment?

1057
01:17:22,717 --> 01:17:24,094
Maria.

1058
01:17:52,300 --> 01:17:55,270
A lamp?

1059
01:17:56,550 --> 01:17:58,427
This is Science.

1060
01:17:59,967 --> 01:18:01,344
An idea.

1061
01:18:01,925 --> 01:18:03,893
An experiment.

1062
01:18:04,508 --> 01:18:05,680
A proof.

1063
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,098
Do you see how beautiful that is?

1064
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,598
Yes, Papa.

1065
01:18:12,883 --> 01:18:15,227
If you're a good scientist,

1066
01:18:15,675 --> 01:18:18,349
no one can ever take the truth from you.

1067
01:18:18,758 --> 01:18:20,305
Amen to that.

1068
01:18:22,925 --> 01:18:25,519
Now you can tell
Monsieur Cartailhac he's wrong.

1069
01:18:25,967 --> 01:18:27,810
He must apologise.

1070
01:18:28,425 --> 01:18:30,098
It won't be enough.

1071
01:18:30,425 --> 01:18:32,177
He accused you, in public.

1072
01:18:32,342 --> 01:18:35,312
No, he has all the more to lose.

1073
01:18:35,883 --> 01:18:40,059
It's not so easy to change direction
when you're set on a course.

1074
01:18:41,342 --> 01:18:43,060
I know.

1075
01:18:49,133 --> 01:18:50,726
Think of the garden.

1076
01:18:53,300 --> 01:18:56,099
If branches grow across our path,

1077
01:18:57,508 --> 01:18:59,636
we just have to move the path.

1078
01:19:01,883 --> 01:19:03,385
Marcelino,

1079
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:09,226
will you... will you take me to the cave?

1080
01:20:04,508 --> 01:20:07,307
You never told me the artists were women.

1081
01:20:13,592 --> 01:20:15,014
Close you eyes.

1082
01:20:23,550 --> 01:20:25,143
Are you ready?

1083
01:20:25,550 --> 01:20:27,552
Open you eyes.

1084
01:21:37,425 --> 01:21:39,393
Have you decided what to say?

1085
01:21:39,717 --> 01:21:42,561
I always admired his attention to detail,

1086
01:21:42,717 --> 01:21:44,344
rare in an amateur.

1087
01:21:45,508 --> 01:21:47,351
Will he demand a public apology?

1088
01:21:47,508 --> 01:21:49,886
He has never written
to complain in public.

1089
01:21:50,050 --> 01:21:53,054
Then your reputation
will be safe, professeur.

1090
01:21:57,425 --> 01:21:58,927
Here we are.

1091
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:02,474
Let humility be your watchguard.

1092
01:22:12,383 --> 01:22:13,600
Emilio.

1093
01:22:13,758 --> 01:22:15,135
Mama.

1094
01:22:32,758 --> 01:22:33,884
Mesdames,

1095
01:22:34,092 --> 01:22:36,186
I am the Abbé Breuil.

1096
01:22:36,883 --> 01:22:38,351
This is Monsieur Émile Cartailhac.

1097
01:22:39,008 --> 01:22:40,260
Dear Ladies.

1098
01:22:40,425 --> 01:22:41,392
Monsieur.

1099
01:22:42,425 --> 01:22:45,053
You are just as I always imagined.

1100
01:22:45,717 --> 01:22:48,140
We have waited too long.

1101
01:22:48,300 --> 01:22:49,176
Indeed.

1102
01:22:50,175 --> 01:22:52,269
I should have come long ago.

1103
01:22:54,967 --> 01:22:58,221
Señor Sautuola
will have heard of the cave paintings

1104
01:22:58,342 --> 01:23:00,595
discovered in the Dordogne this last year.

1105
01:23:01,008 --> 01:23:03,511
There is no doubt of their antiquity,

1106
01:23:03,675 --> 01:23:05,723
since they were covered by layers of earth

1107
01:23:05,883 --> 01:23:08,352
more than ten thousand years old.

1108
01:23:08,550 --> 01:23:11,019
And this is what brings you to our door.

1109
01:23:11,300 --> 01:23:14,804
Twenty years after you ruined
my husband's good name.

1110
01:23:15,383 --> 01:23:18,262
I sincerely wish to make amends

1111
01:23:18,383 --> 01:23:20,977
for any injustice I did him.

1112
01:23:24,633 --> 01:23:26,931
May I apologize in person?

1113
01:23:29,633 --> 01:23:30,805
Papa.

1114
01:23:31,217 --> 01:23:33,015
He is here.

1115
01:23:34,092 --> 01:23:35,139
Cartailhac.

1116
01:23:54,050 --> 01:23:56,974
You cannot tell my husband, Monsieur.

1117
01:23:58,675 --> 01:24:00,643
You can tell the world.

1118
01:24:09,758 --> 01:24:11,351
Please, Mero.

1119
01:24:43,092 --> 01:24:45,186
After you, gentlemen.

1120
01:26:30,217 --> 01:26:35,178
"After Altamira all is decadence.
We have invented nothing" - Pablo Picasso

1121
01:26:36,258 --> 01:26:39,387
Modern techniques date the paintings
up to 35,000 years ago,

1122
01:26:39,550 --> 01:26:41,803
even older
than Marcelino Sautuola imagined.

1123
01:26:43,425 --> 01:26:45,894
In the years that followed the discovery,

1124
01:26:46,342 --> 01:26:50,472
my father and all our family
endured great sadness

1125
01:26:51,175 --> 01:26:54,224
as humiliation and public rejection

1126
01:26:54,383 --> 01:26:58,183
followed the injustice
of accusations of forgery.

1127
01:26:59,425 --> 01:27:02,474
My father died in 1889.

1128
01:27:04,258 --> 01:27:07,102
Thirteen years later, in 1902,

1129
01:27:07,217 --> 01:27:10,141
after the discovery
of several caves in France,

1130
01:27:10,467 --> 01:27:13,437
Émile Cartailhac visited Altamira

1131
01:27:13,592 --> 01:27:17,677
and published his famous apology:
"Mea Culpa d'un Sceptique",

1132
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:23,136
recognizing his errors, the honesty
of Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola

1133
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:27,100
and the authenticity
and age of the paintings.

1134
01:27:28,675 --> 01:27:32,100
His honor was finally restored.

1135
01:29:12,383 --> 01:29:14,636
Dedicated to the memory of
D. Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola

1136
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:16,802
and his great-grandson,
Emilio Botín-Sanz de Sautuola y Ríos,

1137
01:29:16,967 --> 01:29:18,685
who shared his passion
for the arts and education,

1138
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:20,768
his curious mind and deep intuition.

1139
01:29:21,050 --> 01:29:23,803
In loving memory of Jose Antonio Lasheras
for a life dedicated to Altamira.
