2
00:00:28.550 --> 00:00:31.144
Looters. Speculators.

3
00:00:31.342 --> 00:00:32.639
Grave robbers.

4
00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:35.019
This is how Prehistorians are perceived.

5
00:00:35.175 --> 00:00:38.349
"The meek shall inherit the Earth."

6
00:00:38.550 --> 00:00:42.635
Not those who arrogantly seek
to explain the miracle of Creation.

7
00:00:42.842 --> 00:00:47.552
But our quest is for
the Origins of Mankind.

8
00:00:47.717 --> 00:00:49.310
Think then of the peril

9
00:00:49.467 --> 00:00:52.971
should your children
be exposed to their heresy.

10
00:00:53.175 --> 00:00:57.260
It is imperative that we raise
the standing of our infant science,

11
00:00:57.425 --> 00:01:00.554
as the great Charles Darwin
has done for Natural History.

12
00:01:00.717 --> 00:01:03.345
Anyone who does not confess

13
00:01:03.550 --> 00:01:06.224
that the world and all things in it...

14
00:01:06.383 --> 00:01:09.592
are created for the glory of God:

15
00:01:10.842 --> 00:01:12.890
let him be anathema,

16
00:01:13.342 --> 00:01:15.219
cast out from the Church.

17
00:01:40.842 --> 00:01:43.140
My name is Maria Sautuola.

18
00:01:44.550 --> 00:01:48.475
When I was nine years old,
my world was torn apart.

19
00:01:49.258 --> 00:01:53.058
Even so, I don't regret for what we did,

20
00:01:53.467 --> 00:01:55.140
for what we discover.

21
00:01:55.758 --> 00:01:58.841
It all began when Papa went to Paris

22
00:01:58.967 --> 00:02:02.551
to hear the greatest archaeologists
of the age.

23
00:02:03.175 --> 00:02:06.429
Papa was a scholar and a scientist,

24
00:02:06.883 --> 00:02:11.218
but above all a fearless seeker of truth.

25
00:02:11.883 --> 00:02:15.808
Don Marcelino, are we looking
at our primitive ancestors?

26
00:02:16.717 --> 00:02:19.140
Only a few steps from the cave.

27
00:02:19.300 --> 00:02:21.553
I was trying to imagine
how I would behave if my house

28
00:02:21.758 --> 00:02:23.681
were on display like a zoo.

29
00:02:25.508 --> 00:02:26.600
We should go.

30
00:02:26.758 --> 00:02:29.477
The lecture will be packed.

31
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.894
We must be rigorous, methodical,

32
00:02:37.008 --> 00:02:38.760
scientific in our work,

33
00:02:38.883 --> 00:02:41.636
or the forces of Reaction will crush us.

34
00:02:47.383 --> 00:02:49.226
Good speech, Cartailhac.

35
00:02:49.550 --> 00:02:52.053
Allow me to introduce my friend,
Mister Sautuola,

36
00:02:52.217 --> 00:02:54.219
a keen recruit to our field.

37
00:02:54.508 --> 00:02:56.101
Another Jesuit?

38
00:02:56.258 --> 00:02:57.805
No, sir.

39
00:02:58.133 --> 00:03:01.763
A beginner,
an enthusiast without prejudice.

40
00:03:02.050 --> 00:03:04.473
I'm learning so much
from your journal, sir.

41
00:03:05.008 --> 00:03:07.932
It's men like you we academics rely on.

42
00:03:08.092 --> 00:03:11.596
The honest amateur is our foot soldier.

43
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.724
Only do not let his dogma infect you.

44
00:03:18.842 --> 00:03:20.515
Please, its for you.

45
00:03:36.342 --> 00:03:37.389
Mama, mama.

46
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.302
Be careful with those, Maria.

47
00:03:43.925 --> 00:03:44.972
Mero!

48
00:03:49.758 --> 00:03:52.432
Oh, Marcelino, is that a hat?

49
00:03:52.842 --> 00:03:54.185
From Paris?

50
00:03:54.383 --> 00:03:56.886
- Yes... I mean, no.
- Thank you.

51
00:03:57.050 --> 00:03:58.552
Forgive me, Conchita!

52
00:03:58.717 --> 00:04:00.685
It's for my orchid collection and...

53
00:04:01.300 --> 00:04:02.973
I shall wear it to church?

54
00:04:03.133 --> 00:04:05.761
See what my husband has brought
from Paris.

55
00:04:06.258 --> 00:04:09.011
We are joining Cartailhac's army.

56
00:04:09.175 --> 00:04:10.802
Marcelino, you've only just arrived.

57
00:04:10.925 --> 00:04:14.134
Can I come? I must be old enough by now.

58
00:04:14.300 --> 00:04:16.302
See how tall I am. Let's go.

59
00:04:16.467 --> 00:04:19.516
No one is going hunting
or joining any armies.

60
00:04:19.675 --> 00:04:22.599
- What beautiful they are!
- Maria, time for practice.

61
00:04:26.717 --> 00:04:27.889
Maria Justina!

62
00:04:28.050 --> 00:04:30.144
You practice, then we'll go.

63
00:04:50.425 --> 00:04:54.055
NATURAL AND PRIMITIVE HISTORY OF MAN
EMILE CARTAILHAC

64
00:04:54.717 --> 00:04:57.561
And Father Tomas says
I should be confirmed this Autumn

65
00:04:57.717 --> 00:04:59.594
or it will be too late.

66
00:04:59.758 --> 00:05:01.886
Too late! Why's that?

67
00:05:02.050 --> 00:05:04.473
Because I ask too many questions.

68
00:05:04.633 --> 00:05:05.759
Do I, Papa?

69
00:05:07.008 --> 00:05:09.557
It's impossible to ask too many questions

70
00:05:09.883 --> 00:05:12.227
as long as you pay attention
to the answers.

71
00:05:24.633 --> 00:05:27.842
The primitives
lived over 10.000 years ago.

72
00:05:28.342 --> 00:05:31.095
So by digging down, we look back

73
00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:33.519
a telescope of time.

74
00:05:36.842 --> 00:05:40.392
This must have been a good place.
Sheltered.

75
00:05:40.550 --> 00:05:42.848
Did they sleep on the mud?

76
00:05:43.383 --> 00:05:46.842
And these were skilled craftsmen.

77
00:05:47.258 --> 00:05:48.976
They could make what they needed.

78
00:05:51.383 --> 00:05:53.852
What does it say in Genesis?

79
00:05:53.967 --> 00:05:56.061
"Thou art dust and..."

80
00:05:56.258 --> 00:05:58.431
"And to dust thou shalt return."

81
00:05:58.675 --> 00:06:02.179
Even here, protected from the elements,

82
00:06:02.675 --> 00:06:05.975
only the hardest things survive the ages:

83
00:06:06.508 --> 00:06:09.136
stone, shells,

84
00:06:09.383 --> 00:06:10.475
bone.

85
00:06:12.550 --> 00:06:14.268
Now listen.

86
00:06:16.717 --> 00:06:18.640
That muddy cave!

87
00:06:20.092 --> 00:06:21.685
Prayers, Missy.

88
00:06:24.925 --> 00:06:27.348
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

89
00:06:28.425 --> 00:06:29.096
Amen.

90
00:06:34.383 --> 00:06:37.842
- Oh, she's asleep.
- No wonder. Exhausted.

91
00:06:38.050 --> 00:06:39.973
I'm not asleep. Show me now!

92
00:06:46.592 --> 00:06:49.846
Maria, look through this little window.

93
00:06:51.133 --> 00:06:52.350
Ready?

94
00:06:54.925 --> 00:06:57.098
Papa bought it in Paris.

95
00:06:57.758 --> 00:06:59.601
Moving pictures.

96
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:00.847
Magical!

97
00:07:01.175 --> 00:07:02.392
But how?

98
00:07:02.842 --> 00:07:04.389
Twelve mirrors.

99
00:07:04.842 --> 00:07:07.186
As the cylinder turns, the reflections

100
00:07:07.342 --> 00:07:09.219
give the illusion of motion.

101
00:07:09.383 --> 00:07:10.851
Why are there rainbows?

102
00:07:10.967 --> 00:07:14.517
A prism, where the light
is bent by the glass-

103
00:07:18.008 --> 00:07:20.511
It wants to grow that way.

104
00:07:21.217 --> 00:07:22.844
Well,

105
00:07:26.008 --> 00:07:27.430
if that's what it wants,

106
00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:31.018
we can move the path.

107
00:07:32.550 --> 00:07:33.927
Why not?

108
00:07:34.842 --> 00:07:36.264
C'mon. Come here.

109
00:07:38.633 --> 00:07:41.182
Yeah, right here. Throw a line over here.

110
00:07:41.842 --> 00:07:42.684
Over here.

111
00:07:44.050 --> 00:07:46.929
We cannot fight nature, Mero.

112
00:07:47.092 --> 00:07:48.264
To the right, to the right.

113
00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:50.927
What if no one comes?

114
00:07:51.092 --> 00:07:52.435
I hope no one comes.

115
00:07:52.592 --> 00:07:53.935
Ah, don't say that!

116
00:07:54.467 --> 00:07:56.640
I only want to look at you.

117
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:58.552
The Marquesa did promise...

118
00:07:59.008 --> 00:08:00.055
No, no.

119
00:08:00.258 --> 00:08:01.475
Not this time.

120
00:08:01.925 --> 00:08:04.144
De Los Rios is coming.

121
00:08:04.592 --> 00:08:06.310
You won't argue with him.

122
00:08:06.550 --> 00:08:10.054
The Great Sage of Cantabria, wise
on every subject, informed on none.

123
00:08:10.217 --> 00:08:12.720
Marcelino, please. Stop! Be serious.

124
00:08:13.175 --> 00:08:16.224
Not a word. Unless he says
something very foolish.

125
00:08:16.383 --> 00:08:18.681
Or should I say until? Yes, until.

126
00:08:54.133 --> 00:08:58.013
Gentlemen, it is all ready for you.
Will be just a few more minutes.

127
00:08:58.425 --> 00:09:02.601
Our ancestors lived
more than 10.000 years ago

128
00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:05.053
in what is called the Old Stone Age
or Paleolithic Era.

129
00:09:05.467 --> 00:09:09.267
We don't know the age
of our planet or when mankind...

130
00:09:09.425 --> 00:09:11.974
Nonsense.
It has been calculated beyond a doubt

131
00:09:12.633 --> 00:09:14.727
that the Earth is
eighteen million years old.

132
00:09:14.842 --> 00:09:15.843
You can read it in my writings.

133
00:09:16.050 --> 00:09:18.052
Calculated, yes,

134
00:09:18.425 --> 00:09:21.679
beyond a doubt, no, Señor De Los Rios

135
00:09:22.008 --> 00:09:24.511
There are many who think
it may be a great deal older.

136
00:09:24.717 --> 00:09:25.809
And as to the Origins of Man...

137
00:09:25.967 --> 00:09:28.390
Doesn't the Bible tell us
what to think about Creation,

138
00:09:28.550 --> 00:09:30.473
- Father Tomas?
- Yes, Doña Elena.

139
00:09:30.633 --> 00:09:31.759
God created the World,

140
00:09:31.925 --> 00:09:35.680
but Biblical time
cannot be reckoned like a calendar.

141
00:09:36.258 --> 00:09:37.601
Thank you, Father Tomas.

142
00:09:37.758 --> 00:09:39.977
- Time for some more music?
- Some music.

143
00:09:40.175 --> 00:09:42.849
Everything we learned as children
is out of date.

144
00:09:43.008 --> 00:09:45.431
New discoveries
are being made at such a rate

145
00:09:45.592 --> 00:09:46.935
it's wise to keep an open mind.

146
00:09:47.092 --> 00:09:49.094
An open mind is an empty mind.

147
00:09:49.258 --> 00:09:52.467
And, to quote Plato, "an empty
vessel makes the most noise."

148
00:09:52.633 --> 00:09:54.101
Who makes the most noise here?

149
00:09:54.467 --> 00:09:55.844
Excuse me. What you said?

150
00:09:56.050 --> 00:09:59.725
Dear friends,
I hope you will indulge a mother.

151
00:09:59.842 --> 00:10:01.515
My daughter Maria Justina,

152
00:10:01.675 --> 00:10:05.179
will play Iradier's Habanera "La Paloma".

153
00:10:05.342 --> 00:10:08.141
I can't bear performing children.

154
00:10:08.342 --> 00:10:10.686
They're worse than trained monkeys.

155
00:10:18.800 --> 00:10:22.384
Can I be sorry for my anger
and still be angry?

156
00:10:22.550 --> 00:10:23.767
No, you can't.

157
00:10:23.925 --> 00:10:27.179
- Then I don't want to confess it.
- That's naughty, Maria.

158
00:10:29.133 --> 00:10:31.477
My dear, how are you?

159
00:10:31.633 --> 00:10:32.850
Hello, Elena.

160
00:10:33.300 --> 00:10:36.509
Take no notice of Señor De Los Rios.

161
00:10:36.675 --> 00:10:38.552
I'm sure nobody else does.

162
00:10:38.717 --> 00:10:39.843
What do you mean?

163
00:10:40.050 --> 00:10:41.472
It's nothing.

164
00:10:41.842 --> 00:10:44.721
Only he's telling everyone
that his quarrel with Don Marcelino

165
00:10:44.842 --> 00:10:46.719
was the highpoint of the evening.

166
00:10:53.467 --> 00:10:54.969
Monsieur Ratier.

167
00:11:01.133 --> 00:11:02.726
Madame, this is an honor.

168
00:11:03.300 --> 00:11:04.301
Good day.

169
00:11:04.467 --> 00:11:06.765
This is my husband, Don Marcelino,

170
00:11:06.925 --> 00:11:08.598
and our daughter, Maria.

171
00:11:10.050 --> 00:11:11.973
It's in a poor state, isn't it?

172
00:11:12.133 --> 00:11:13.931
Well, yes, it is.

173
00:11:14.092 --> 00:11:15.309
You are truly an artist.

174
00:11:16.175 --> 00:11:18.143
The colours are most impressive.

175
00:11:19.050 --> 00:11:20.347
Maria.

176
00:11:20.550 --> 00:11:21.802
You want to look at the carvings?

177
00:11:21.967 --> 00:11:24.015
- Good day to you, sir.
- Good day.

178
00:11:24.175 --> 00:11:25.768
I'll join you later.

179
00:11:25.967 --> 00:11:28.015
It's so beautiful.

180
00:11:29.092 --> 00:11:30.844
You know the trouble with anger?

181
00:11:31.758 --> 00:11:33.931
It's a pistol that backfires.

182
00:11:34.092 --> 00:11:37.426
It hurts you more
than the person you aim at.

183
00:11:39.967 --> 00:11:41.093
Excuse me.

184
00:11:41.925 --> 00:11:43.643
May I look?

185
00:11:48.133 --> 00:11:51.763
- Is it Paleo...
- Paleolithic.

186
00:11:52.925 --> 00:11:54.472
And it's perfect.

187
00:11:56.342 --> 00:11:58.470
Making a cutting edge like this

188
00:11:58.633 --> 00:12:01.842
requires of
a very sophisticated technique.

189
00:12:03.842 --> 00:12:04.843
Thank you.

190
00:12:05.050 --> 00:12:08.509
Please, where did you find it?

191
00:12:16.258 --> 00:12:17.350
Good morning.

192
00:12:17.550 --> 00:12:19.177
Modesto Cubillas.

193
00:12:19.342 --> 00:12:22.312
You remember, sir?
I showed you the cave before.

194
00:12:22.467 --> 00:12:23.719
Yes, indeed.

195
00:12:23.842 --> 00:12:25.185
You found a way in...

196
00:12:25.592 --> 00:12:27.310
No, it was the dog.

197
00:12:28.050 --> 00:12:30.519
I'm hunting rabbits and he gets lost.

198
00:12:30.675 --> 00:12:32.723
Then I search all over and then...

199
00:12:32.842 --> 00:12:33.968
Woof, woof!

200
00:12:34.175 --> 00:12:35.677
I pull back these brambles

201
00:12:35.800 --> 00:12:38.724
and see the rocks have fallen in.
I put my head in and...

202
00:12:38.842 --> 00:12:41.265
"Are you there?"

203
00:12:42.300 --> 00:12:44.428
Up he jumps and licks my face, sir.

204
00:12:44.633 --> 00:12:45.930
Let me see this.

205
00:12:53.383 --> 00:12:54.851
Want to take a look?

206
00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:03.768
Pedro, Nero, come here.

207
00:13:04.133 --> 00:13:05.476
Widen the entrance a little more.

208
00:13:06.258 --> 00:13:08.431
I would like to get in tomorrow.

209
00:13:10.717 --> 00:13:11.593
Thank you, gentlemen.

210
00:13:11.758 --> 00:13:12.975
Maria, let's go.

211
00:13:13.133 --> 00:13:14.976
- Bye, Maria.
- Bye.

212
00:13:15.633 --> 00:13:17.385
They were big animals.

213
00:13:17.633 --> 00:13:20.182
The woolly mammoth
was bigger than an elephant,

214
00:13:20.342 --> 00:13:23.266
the aurochs, a cow like a cart horse.

215
00:13:23.425 --> 00:13:24.051
Why?

216
00:13:24.258 --> 00:13:27.967
It was very cold, the end of the Ice Age.

217
00:13:33.967 --> 00:13:35.219
It's broken.

218
00:13:36.383 --> 00:13:39.432
See how they split the bone
to reach the marrow fat,

219
00:13:39.592 --> 00:13:40.935
the richest part.

220
00:13:42.050 --> 00:13:43.472
Where did you find it?

221
00:13:43.800 --> 00:13:44.847
There.

222
00:15:18.800 --> 00:15:21.019
Moving pictures!

223
00:15:26.133 --> 00:15:27.555
Maria?

224
00:15:29.842 --> 00:15:31.264
Maria!

225
00:15:43.550 --> 00:15:45.473
Oxen, Papa, oxen!

226
00:15:46.217 --> 00:15:47.560
Look, Papa.

227
00:15:47.675 --> 00:15:50.474
- Dancing drawings, papa.
- Let's go back. It's cold in here.

228
00:15:50.633 --> 00:15:53.102
No! See? They move.

229
00:15:53.258 --> 00:15:55.010
Let's see, my dear. What moves?

230
00:15:55.758 --> 00:15:57.055
The stones!

231
00:15:57.258 --> 00:15:59.761
What is it? The stones look like oxen?

232
00:15:59.925 --> 00:16:01.802
No, look.

233
00:16:19.508 --> 00:16:21.135
There are many.

234
00:16:30.258 --> 00:16:31.726
It's wet.

235
00:16:32.383 --> 00:16:33.555
Wet.

236
00:16:37.633 --> 00:16:38.976
What is this?

237
00:16:39.175 --> 00:16:41.303
It's a whole herd, Papa.

238
00:16:41.467 --> 00:16:45.677
This one's standing
and this one isn't finished yet.

239
00:16:49.008 --> 00:16:50.851
- Who painted them, Papa?
- I don't know.

240
00:16:51.050 --> 00:16:52.347
Was it the primitives?

241
00:16:53.050 --> 00:16:54.973
I don't know, Maria.

242
00:17:23.175 --> 00:17:25.519
"Sealed up like a tomb"?

243
00:17:25.925 --> 00:17:27.802
And you let our daughter go inside?

244
00:17:28.008 --> 00:17:30.477
It was thousands of years ago,
a landslide.

245
00:17:30.633 --> 00:17:33.762
There could be another landslide
at any moment.

246
00:17:34.258 --> 00:17:35.635
How could you...?

247
00:17:36.800 --> 00:17:39.349
Do you forget what day it is tomorrow?

248
00:17:39.633 --> 00:17:41.601
Our baby's name day.

249
00:17:43.258 --> 00:17:45.306
Of course I don't forget.

250
00:17:47.175 --> 00:17:49.553
I know how you feel, my love,

251
00:17:50.008 --> 00:17:52.431
but if we took no risks at all,

252
00:17:52.592 --> 00:17:54.720
not even sensible, careful risks,

253
00:17:54.842 --> 00:17:56.810
our lives would be very poor.

254
00:17:56.967 --> 00:17:59.265
Maria made a real discovery today.

255
00:17:59.633 --> 00:18:02.807
The wall paintings
in the church are very old.

256
00:18:02.967 --> 00:18:04.810
But these paintings are older, perhaps.

257
00:18:04.967 --> 00:18:05.763
How old?

258
00:18:06.133 --> 00:18:08.101
Ten thousand years. Maybe more.

259
00:18:08.717 --> 00:18:13.143
This is even before the time
of Adam and Eve. How can that be?

260
00:18:14.592 --> 00:18:17.596
You truly believe your cave people
could have been painters?

261
00:18:17.717 --> 00:18:20.061
Whoever did this was a great artist.

262
00:18:20.217 --> 00:18:21.810
As great as any in history.

263
00:18:21.967 --> 00:18:23.219
Miss Maria.

264
00:18:23.383 --> 00:18:25.101
Conchita, it's a miracle.

265
00:18:25.300 --> 00:18:26.552
It's incredible.

266
00:18:26.675 --> 00:18:28.769
If I wouldn't have seen it
with my own eyes...

267
00:18:28.925 --> 00:18:30.677
I have to talk Professor Vilanova.

268
00:18:30.967 --> 00:18:33.937
And then we should get in contact
with Cartailhac.

269
00:18:34.092 --> 00:18:36.561
- This discovery is worthy of his genius.
- Enough!

270
00:18:37.758 --> 00:18:39.806
- Yes, Cartailhac.
- Maria!

271
00:18:43.300 --> 00:18:47.180
My discovery is worthy
of Cartailhac's genius.

272
00:18:47.342 --> 00:18:48.844
What do you say to that?

273
00:18:49.342 --> 00:18:51.140
Never heard of him.

274
00:18:54.633 --> 00:18:57.307
Papa told you about the oxen?

275
00:18:57.508 --> 00:18:59.727
Yes. And that you found them.

276
00:18:59.842 --> 00:19:01.844
You're not cross with me?

277
00:19:02.008 --> 00:19:03.976
Of course not, darling.

278
00:19:07.592 --> 00:19:11.426
And you're not cross with Papa
about Adam and Eve?

279
00:19:12.925 --> 00:19:15.269
Don't worry about such things.

280
00:19:15.675 --> 00:19:17.177
Go to sleep.

281
00:19:53.800 --> 00:19:56.770
Paleolithic, Palaeolithic.

282
00:21:22.008 --> 00:21:25.717
Will you show me
your "long haired oxen", young lady?

283
00:21:26.008 --> 00:21:29.137
They aren't hairy oxen, Professor,

284
00:21:29.300 --> 00:21:33.726
but bison which inhabited
this region during the Ice Age.

285
00:21:33.842 --> 00:21:35.685
Ahah! A young archaeologist.

286
00:21:44.842 --> 00:21:46.560
Look at this.

287
00:21:47.383 --> 00:21:49.181
And over here.

288
00:21:53.717 --> 00:21:55.310
Look at this.

289
00:21:57.008 --> 00:21:59.181
Look at his head.

290
00:22:01.217 --> 00:22:03.720
It looks as if it were painted yesterday.

291
00:22:03.925 --> 00:22:06.553
I wonder if this dark cave
may have preserved them

292
00:22:06.675 --> 00:22:08.348
perfectly down the centuries.

293
00:22:08.508 --> 00:22:11.557
Dating the work is problematic
without geological layers.

294
00:22:11.717 --> 00:22:13.640
The cave was sealed and we have found

295
00:22:13.800 --> 00:22:16.098
nothing more recent
than the Upper Paleolithic,

296
00:22:16.508 --> 00:22:18.602
10.000 years by your calculations.

297
00:22:18.758 --> 00:22:22.513
There are carvings and engravings
from this period

298
00:22:22.717 --> 00:22:26.096
but they're small, portable, much like
the work of primitive peoples today.

299
00:22:26.258 --> 00:22:27.475
Nothing like this.

300
00:22:27.592 --> 00:22:31.347
We found this shell
just there by the wall.

301
00:22:33.425 --> 00:22:35.348
Traces of colour.

302
00:22:36.467 --> 00:22:38.640
Which could be red ochre.

303
00:22:38.800 --> 00:22:40.723
Yes, yes, it's quite possible.

304
00:22:47.550 --> 00:22:50.520
So, Professor Vilanova,
what is your opinion?

305
00:22:52.508 --> 00:22:54.636
I've never seen anything like it:

306
00:22:55.175 --> 00:22:57.348
I don't believe anyone has.

307
00:22:57.550 --> 00:23:01.430
It simply doesn't fit
our ideas of Prehistoric Man.

308
00:23:01.550 --> 00:23:03.723
Perhaps all our ideas are wrong.

309
00:23:10.925 --> 00:23:12.552
Gentlemen, please!

310
00:23:12.758 --> 00:23:14.852
Respect for our distinguished visitor.

311
00:23:16.508 --> 00:23:20.593
Some of you have yourselves seen
the evidence of the cave:

312
00:23:21.092 --> 00:23:25.393
a polychrome wall painting
of extinct creatures

313
00:23:25.508 --> 00:23:27.510
in pristine condition.

314
00:23:27.633 --> 00:23:29.635
There is no other example

315
00:23:29.800 --> 00:23:32.724
of such work
from the Paleolithic Era anywhere.

316
00:23:32.842 --> 00:23:34.765
Because they aren't Paleolithic.

317
00:23:36.425 --> 00:23:37.768
Sir.

318
00:23:39.425 --> 00:23:41.974
This is Paleolithic.

319
00:23:46.842 --> 00:23:51.143
And... this is Paleolithic.

320
00:23:53.008 --> 00:23:54.681
I have an extensive collection

321
00:23:55.717 --> 00:23:58.220
which the Council is very welcome to see,

322
00:23:58.383 --> 00:24:01.683
having made Prehistory
my study for several years.

323
00:24:02.342 --> 00:24:05.926
I realise this is a profoundly
shocking discovery.

324
00:24:06.092 --> 00:24:08.641
Or an absurd mistake
which will make us Cantabrians

325
00:24:08.800 --> 00:24:11.223
the laughing stock throughout the world.

326
00:24:11.383 --> 00:24:15.058
May I ask, sir, how you would account
for the paintings?

327
00:24:17.550 --> 00:24:18.767
Certainly.

328
00:24:28.175 --> 00:24:30.223
They are the work

329
00:24:30.550 --> 00:24:32.393
of runaway slaves

330
00:24:32.717 --> 00:24:35.641
when this was a Roman province

331
00:24:35.800 --> 00:24:37.973
some two thousand years ago.

332
00:24:38.175 --> 00:24:40.394
No doubt this beasts

333
00:24:40.758 --> 00:24:43.841
were still prevalent
in their barbarian homeland.

334
00:24:44.008 --> 00:24:47.342
There isn't one shred of evidence
to support that.

335
00:24:47.508 --> 00:24:50.933
There's nothing in the cave
less than ten thousand years old.

336
00:24:51.092 --> 00:24:54.221
Nothing that you've presented,

337
00:24:54.383 --> 00:24:55.851
but how can we be sure?

338
00:24:56.050 --> 00:24:58.098
Do you think I would distort the evidence?

339
00:25:00.133 --> 00:25:00.759
Sir?

340
00:25:00.925 --> 00:25:03.644
Gentlemen, please!
Allow the Professor to finish.

341
00:25:07.592 --> 00:25:12.598
I know what we are suggesting
appears extraordinary

342
00:25:13.383 --> 00:25:14.851
but these are the facts.

343
00:25:15.383 --> 00:25:17.681
That's monkeys with paintbrushes!

344
00:25:20.925 --> 00:25:23.553
We believe that if the cave

345
00:25:24.550 --> 00:25:26.302
is properly cared for,

346
00:25:27.258 --> 00:25:30.717
the international experts
we have invited to see the paintings

347
00:25:30.842 --> 00:25:33.140
will share our view

348
00:25:33.342 --> 00:25:35.811
that this discovery,

349
00:25:36.300 --> 00:25:38.177
in our province,

350
00:25:38.342 --> 00:25:42.677
is of enormous significance
in the History of Mankind.

351
00:25:57.175 --> 00:25:59.348
- Isn't that the wife?
- Yes.

352
00:26:00.008 --> 00:26:01.601
A good woman,

353
00:26:01.758 --> 00:26:03.226
devout,

354
00:26:03.633 --> 00:26:06.637
a great supporter of our church.

355
00:26:08.633 --> 00:26:11.307
She must be in need of guidance.

356
00:26:19.175 --> 00:26:20.848
Extraordinary.

357
00:26:21.008 --> 00:26:22.476
Consider this:

358
00:26:22.633 --> 00:26:26.558
a complete novice takes up
the latest Paris fashion

359
00:26:26.717 --> 00:26:30.472
and immediately it makes an "extraordinary"
discovery on his very doorstep.

360
00:26:31.133 --> 00:26:33.852
Don't you smell a fish?

361
00:26:35.050 --> 00:26:38.259
Professor Vilanova
is a true friend of the Church.

362
00:26:38.633 --> 00:26:42.718
He exposed the wild assumptions
made by the Darwinists

363
00:26:42.842 --> 00:26:44.765
to support their theory.

364
00:26:44.925 --> 00:26:49.010
I am surprised he should be party
to such rash speculation.

365
00:26:49.175 --> 00:26:50.722
Exactly.

366
00:26:50.842 --> 00:26:54.597
Only a child could be taken in
by such nonsense.

367
00:26:54.758 --> 00:26:56.351
"Oh, my clever papa!"

368
00:26:56.467 --> 00:26:57.559
Excuse me.

369
00:26:57.758 --> 00:27:00.637
Father Tomas, Monsignor.
I hope you don't think...

370
00:27:00.842 --> 00:27:02.765
Tush, tush.

371
00:27:02.967 --> 00:27:05.595
Glory, glory, my child.

372
00:27:07.050 --> 00:27:08.973
You'll come to me.

373
00:27:21.842 --> 00:27:24.391
Listen to this. Tablanca writes:

374
00:27:24.633 --> 00:27:28.638
"Sautuola seems more interested
in personal glory

375
00:27:28.800 --> 00:27:31.303
than allowing proper investigation."

376
00:27:31.425 --> 00:27:34.053
Who is this Tablanca?

377
00:27:34.425 --> 00:27:36.519
His column is very popular.

378
00:27:37.008 --> 00:27:39.807
A moral commentary on affairs of the day.

379
00:27:41.008 --> 00:27:44.638
An immoral commentary.
Every word is twisted.

380
00:27:46.800 --> 00:27:48.973
No reply from Cartailhac.

381
00:27:50.425 --> 00:27:53.019
Perhaps he disagrees with you.

382
00:27:57.508 --> 00:28:00.057
No one can believe it till they see them.

383
00:28:05.133 --> 00:28:06.510
You know?

384
00:28:06.675 --> 00:28:08.143
I was thinking

385
00:28:08.842 --> 00:28:13.177
if I sent some well-executed paintings.

386
00:28:13.342 --> 00:28:17.176
My rough sketches give no idea
of the colours, the artistry.

387
00:28:18.425 --> 00:28:21.269
That painter you have working
at the church,

388
00:28:22.092 --> 00:28:23.184
what's his name again?

389
00:28:23.342 --> 00:28:25.060
Paul?

390
00:28:25.300 --> 00:28:26.347
Paul Ratier.

391
00:28:26.842 --> 00:28:28.719
You want me to ask him?

392
00:28:32.258 --> 00:28:33.225
Yes.

393
00:28:40.008 --> 00:28:41.555
Monsieur Ratier.

394
00:28:42.008 --> 00:28:44.636
- Madame, what a pleasure.
- Good day.

395
00:28:45.258 --> 00:28:46.680
How is our mother, Eve?

396
00:28:46.842 --> 00:28:49.186
Very cheerful

397
00:28:49.342 --> 00:28:52.425
for someone about to bring
disaster on all Mankind.

398
00:28:52.925 --> 00:28:54.848
Just wonder if I should lessen her smile?

399
00:28:56.592 --> 00:28:59.141
It's her last moment safe
in the Bliss of God.

400
00:28:59.300 --> 00:29:01.803
Don't take that from her.

401
00:29:03.217 --> 00:29:06.426
- I knew you would have the answer.
- Are you allowed to change it?

402
00:29:06.592 --> 00:29:10.096
Maria, I am sure Monsieur Ratier
knows what he is doing.

403
00:29:10.258 --> 00:29:11.475
No, it's a good question.

404
00:29:11.633 --> 00:29:13.806
Sometimes a painting is so faded or broken

405
00:29:13.967 --> 00:29:15.640
it's hard to know what was intended.

406
00:29:15.800 --> 00:29:18.144
You see here, at the corner of her mouth.

407
00:29:18.425 --> 00:29:21.634
Is that a curving lip
or a crack in the plaster?

408
00:29:22.133 --> 00:29:24.010
But you'll be changing History.

409
00:29:25.092 --> 00:29:27.015
Well, improving it a little.

410
00:29:28.175 --> 00:29:30.553
Did you come to see Father Tomas?
I think he's in the sacristy.

411
00:29:30.717 --> 00:29:34.301
No, it's you I wanted to see.

412
00:29:37.508 --> 00:29:38.384
Me?

413
00:29:39.467 --> 00:29:41.390
Isn't he handsome?!

414
00:29:41.633 --> 00:29:43.601
Maria Justina!

415
00:29:44.175 --> 00:29:46.177
It's a plain fact, Mama.

416
00:29:46.342 --> 00:29:49.551
One need not be afraid of stating facts.

417
00:29:49.717 --> 00:29:53.392
A lady should avoid stating facts
whenever possible.

418
00:29:53.508 --> 00:29:55.385
It's most unbecoming.

419
00:29:55.550 --> 00:29:59.680
Did you know that earthworms
can dig up to six feet underground?

420
00:29:59.842 --> 00:30:01.219
Really?

421
00:30:01.383 --> 00:30:03.636
That's what Mr. Darwin says.

422
00:30:04.175 --> 00:30:05.427
Did your father tell you that?

423
00:30:05.592 --> 00:30:07.640
Only about the earthworms.

424
00:30:07.800 --> 00:30:09.848
He never tells me anything about Evolution

425
00:30:10.008 --> 00:30:12.386
and those things you fight about.

426
00:30:13.508 --> 00:30:15.010
Wait here.

427
00:30:19.425 --> 00:30:22.224
The Bible speaks clearly
about Adam and Eve.

428
00:30:22.383 --> 00:30:23.430
Correct.

429
00:30:23.592 --> 00:30:26.015
And who gave you your power of reason?

430
00:30:26.842 --> 00:30:27.934
God.

431
00:30:28.133 --> 00:30:30.352
So how could they be in conflict?

432
00:30:30.467 --> 00:30:34.517
If Faith and Reason seem at odds,
isn't terribly important.

433
00:30:34.675 --> 00:30:36.769
Our Holy Father instructs us

434
00:30:36.925 --> 00:30:41.806
that False Opinion has taken
the place of True Reason.

435
00:30:42.467 --> 00:30:46.142
I think of Galileo
and his punishment by the Church,

436
00:30:46.300 --> 00:30:48.018
which now we know to have been wrong.

437
00:30:48.175 --> 00:30:49.301
Quite so,

438
00:30:49.425 --> 00:30:53.805
Galileo revealed the true workings
of the Divine Universe,

439
00:30:54.217 --> 00:30:57.346
but for the Darwinists
here is no Divine Being,

440
00:30:57.842 --> 00:31:01.016
no plan for Humanity or Creation,

441
00:31:01.175 --> 00:31:04.429
only the random workings of Nature,

442
00:31:04.633 --> 00:31:07.102
poorly described by Science.

443
00:31:07.508 --> 00:31:09.852
As we understand more,

444
00:31:10.008 --> 00:31:12.136
might not they too be proved right?

445
00:31:12.300 --> 00:31:15.383
This is not about
the orbit of Earth and Sun,

446
00:31:15.550 --> 00:31:21.011
this is Man setting his puny intellect
against the majesty of God.

447
00:31:21.217 --> 00:31:22.594
Rationalism...

448
00:31:23.008 --> 00:31:27.138
seeks to destroy the deepest
foundations of human society:

449
00:31:27.300 --> 00:31:29.769
Love, Honour, Family.

450
00:31:29.925 --> 00:31:33.054
What use for them
in a purely rational world?

451
00:31:34.842 --> 00:31:37.186
I do worry that Maria...

452
00:31:37.342 --> 00:31:40.516
My husband... He takes
such a part in her education...

453
00:31:40.925 --> 00:31:42.552
My dear child,

454
00:31:43.217 --> 00:31:45.515
I share your concerns.

455
00:31:49.050 --> 00:31:50.597
Deeply.

456
00:32:06.508 --> 00:32:07.976
Who made the world?

457
00:32:08.175 --> 00:32:09.597
God made the world.

458
00:32:09.758 --> 00:32:10.429
Who is God?

459
00:32:10.592 --> 00:32:13.596
God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth

460
00:32:13.758 --> 00:32:15.351
and of all things.

461
00:32:15.508 --> 00:32:16.930
What is Man?

462
00:32:17.092 --> 00:32:20.596
Man is a creature composed
of body and soul,

463
00:32:20.758 --> 00:32:23.011
made in the image of God.

464
00:32:24.092 --> 00:32:26.686
Why did God make you, Maria?

465
00:32:26.842 --> 00:32:29.641
God made me to know Him, to love Him

466
00:32:30.050 --> 00:32:32.348
and to serve Him in this world.

467
00:32:33.550 --> 00:32:35.598
And does God want you to serve Him

468
00:32:36.258 --> 00:32:38.135
with half of your wits?

469
00:32:38.550 --> 00:32:40.097
With one hand in the air?

470
00:32:40.342 --> 00:32:41.514
No, Father.

471
00:32:41.675 --> 00:32:44.394
No, He does not.

472
00:32:44.592 --> 00:32:47.186
I was admiring his Creation, Father.

473
00:32:47.300 --> 00:32:50.349
Did you know the very same bones
we have in our hands

474
00:32:50.508 --> 00:32:53.102
are in dolphins' flippers and bats' wings?

475
00:32:53.258 --> 00:32:54.851
Isn't that marvellous?

476
00:33:04.092 --> 00:33:06.845
- Who made the world?
- God made the world.

477
00:33:07.050 --> 00:33:08.097
Who is God?

478
00:33:31.800 --> 00:33:33.302
That's not good.

479
00:33:34.133 --> 00:33:35.430
Your wife?

480
00:33:35.633 --> 00:33:36.805
She sounds good to me.

481
00:33:36.967 --> 00:33:38.514
Scarlatti.

482
00:33:38.925 --> 00:33:40.598
Only in times of strife.

483
00:33:41.092 --> 00:33:42.469
Wagner is the worst though.

484
00:33:43.217 --> 00:33:44.719
Then it's better not to be here!

485
00:33:45.217 --> 00:33:46.469
Thank you for the warning.

486
00:33:47.467 --> 00:33:48.969
A bowl?

487
00:33:49.175 --> 00:33:50.722
A discus?

488
00:33:53.967 --> 00:33:56.311
We are groping in the dark.

489
00:34:29.383 --> 00:34:31.602
Paleolithic. Paleolithic.

490
00:35:06.842 --> 00:35:09.140
Professor Vilanova, Monsieur Paul Ratier.

491
00:35:09.300 --> 00:35:10.847
- How do you do, sir?
- A great artist.

492
00:35:11.217 --> 00:35:13.219
Perhaps you can persuade my wife

493
00:35:13.342 --> 00:35:15.140
to come and seethe real thing.

494
00:35:15.592 --> 00:35:17.139
I don't think so, no.

495
00:35:17.925 --> 00:35:18.972
Please, come in.

496
00:35:20.342 --> 00:35:23.642
Like this they seem random
but each one is placed carefully

497
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:26.269
in exact relation to the rock formation.

498
00:35:28.008 --> 00:35:30.511
What of the quality? As an artist,

499
00:35:30.925 --> 00:35:32.427
what's your opinion?

500
00:35:33.758 --> 00:35:35.260
To be honest,

501
00:35:36.175 --> 00:35:38.223
I find them astonishing.

502
00:35:38.550 --> 00:35:41.679
There is an understanding of movement,
an energy,

503
00:35:41.842 --> 00:35:44.971
a direct observation of Nature
that seems wholly modern.

504
00:35:45.717 --> 00:35:49.517
I have to rethink everything
I had assumed about art.

505
00:35:49.675 --> 00:35:51.427
This is quite a shock.

506
00:35:51.592 --> 00:35:53.811
Hardly the work of monkeys then?

507
00:35:53.967 --> 00:35:55.264
Certainly not.

508
00:35:55.383 --> 00:35:57.351
Do you see, dear lady, what this means?

509
00:35:57.633 --> 00:35:59.385
Ten thousand years ago

510
00:35:59.550 --> 00:36:02.144
Mankind was as we are now,

511
00:36:02.258 --> 00:36:05.137
created with a soul in God's image.

512
00:36:05.258 --> 00:36:08.182
We have not evolved into Humanity,

513
00:36:08.425 --> 00:36:10.348
we have always been so.

514
00:36:10.508 --> 00:36:14.342
Do you think that the paintings
might be in accord with our faith?

515
00:36:14.508 --> 00:36:16.181
Faith and True Reason.

516
00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:17.677
Conchita, my dear.

517
00:36:18.342 --> 00:36:20.640
If we are correct,

518
00:36:21.258 --> 00:36:23.636
then, the Primitive Man,

519
00:36:24.342 --> 00:36:29.644
at this time had the ability
to describe what he saw in paint.

520
00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:31.427
That's all we know.

521
00:36:31.633 --> 00:36:35.263
We shouldn't try to fit the facts
to a set of beliefs.

522
00:36:37.175 --> 00:36:40.224
We have to wait for Cartailhac.

523
00:36:40.342 --> 00:36:42.811
If the mountain
will not come to Mahomet...

524
00:36:43.467 --> 00:36:44.969
With your permission

525
00:36:45.300 --> 00:36:48.099
I would like to present our findings

526
00:36:48.258 --> 00:36:51.592
at the International Conference
of Prehistory in Lisbon

527
00:36:51.758 --> 00:36:53.305
next month.

528
00:36:53.508 --> 00:36:55.931
It will be easy for the delegates
to come here afterwards.

529
00:36:56.092 --> 00:36:58.094
- You'll do that? Really?
- Of course.

530
00:37:00.592 --> 00:37:03.675
- Thank you, my friend.
- And you should come.

531
00:37:04.383 --> 00:37:05.726
Thank you.

532
00:37:07.383 --> 00:37:08.930
Conchita,

533
00:37:14.092 --> 00:37:15.969
you think...

534
00:37:16.758 --> 00:37:20.592
you think Religion and Science

535
00:37:20.758 --> 00:37:22.852
can't coexist, right?

536
00:37:23.050 --> 00:37:24.267
Right?

537
00:37:25.342 --> 00:37:26.594
My love,

538
00:37:28.550 --> 00:37:29.972
imagine...

539
00:37:30.508 --> 00:37:33.842
imagine that I am Science

540
00:37:36.008 --> 00:37:37.931
and you

541
00:37:38.092 --> 00:37:39.469
are Religion.

542
00:37:40.675 --> 00:37:41.767
Yes.

543
00:37:53.342 --> 00:37:55.219
I don't know if that's Science,

544
00:37:55.383 --> 00:37:58.262
but it is definitely not Religion.

545
00:38:02.633 --> 00:38:05.432
Water is denser than air,

546
00:38:05.592 --> 00:38:08.596
so as the light passes through each drop,

547
00:38:09.050 --> 00:38:11.394
it bends, the colours split

548
00:38:12.217 --> 00:38:14.094
and we see a rainbow.

549
00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:18.850
So Noah's rainbow
was only reflections, not a promise?

550
00:38:19.425 --> 00:38:22.508
If we explore the mystery of Creation,

551
00:38:23.133 --> 00:38:25.261
discovering how it works,

552
00:38:25.967 --> 00:38:27.844
does that destroy its wonder?

553
00:38:28.008 --> 00:38:31.842
You know that a piece of music
is made of notes, chords,

554
00:38:32.008 --> 00:38:35.474
crotchets and rests, but that
doesn't stop it sounding lovely

555
00:38:35.675 --> 00:38:38.428
or inspiring beautiful thoughts.

556
00:38:38.592 --> 00:38:41.015
It does when I have to learn it.

557
00:38:41.633 --> 00:38:44.307
- My dear.
- This came by special messenger.

558
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:46.222
From Cartailhac?

559
00:38:48.092 --> 00:38:50.470
Open it, Papa, open it.

560
00:38:50.633 --> 00:38:51.555
Please.

561
00:38:58.675 --> 00:39:00.518
It seems that...

562
00:39:01.050 --> 00:39:02.677
His Majesty,

563
00:39:03.258 --> 00:39:04.851
holidaying in the region,

564
00:39:05.050 --> 00:39:06.518
would like to see the paintings.

565
00:39:06.675 --> 00:39:10.054
- The King! Oh, Papa!
- Precisely.

566
00:39:10.175 --> 00:39:12.223
The King! Alfonso XII.

567
00:39:22.342 --> 00:39:24.140
This are our workers.

568
00:39:24.550 --> 00:39:26.177
Very good work.

569
00:39:26.300 --> 00:39:27.472
Congratulations.

570
00:39:27.675 --> 00:39:31.600
Beg pardon, but this is the dog
that found the cave.

571
00:39:31.758 --> 00:39:33.180
And I am the dog's owner.

572
00:39:33.300 --> 00:39:34.552
So by rights I should get...

573
00:39:34.717 --> 00:39:37.266
Please, there is nothing to worry about.

574
00:39:37.425 --> 00:39:38.927
It is only a sheep dog.

575
00:39:39.133 --> 00:39:40.851
A now royal sheep dog.

576
00:39:41.342 --> 00:39:42.343
A dog!

577
00:39:42.508 --> 00:39:45.682
Yes, it was sheer fluke this discovery.

578
00:39:45.842 --> 00:39:49.301
De Los Rios, your most humble servant.

579
00:39:50.133 --> 00:39:51.430
As you may know, Your Majesty,

580
00:39:51.633 --> 00:39:55.137
I myself have made
many important finds in the region.

581
00:39:55.258 --> 00:39:56.305
Marquesa!

582
00:39:57.925 --> 00:40:00.678
Sir, this is my wife, Conchita.

583
00:40:01.133 --> 00:40:02.601
- Señora Sautuola.
- Your Majesty.

584
00:40:02.758 --> 00:40:05.261
Your husband has given Spain
something to be proud of.

585
00:40:05.842 --> 00:40:08.311
The whole world must know of this.

586
00:40:08.467 --> 00:40:09.684
Thank you, sir.

587
00:40:09.842 --> 00:40:11.936
And you must be the little bull-finder.

588
00:40:12.092 --> 00:40:13.059
Bravo!

589
00:40:14.342 --> 00:40:16.185
A photograph, please.

590
00:40:16.675 --> 00:40:17.847
Come along.

591
00:40:20.633 --> 00:40:21.600
Don Marcelino,

592
00:40:21.758 --> 00:40:24.728
congratulations once again
in your important discovery.

593
00:40:24.842 --> 00:40:26.560
Long live to the King!

594
00:40:39.300 --> 00:40:41.302
I was just thinking,

595
00:40:41.467 --> 00:40:43.811
before it was our secret.

596
00:40:44.508 --> 00:40:47.432
When you go to Lisbon
and tell Monsieur Cartailhac

597
00:40:47.592 --> 00:40:49.265
everyone will know.

598
00:40:49.842 --> 00:40:54.143
But it's good to share knowledge,
isn't it?

599
00:40:54.508 --> 00:40:55.851
Yes.

600
00:40:58.550 --> 00:41:00.268
Listen, Maria,

601
00:41:00.467 --> 00:41:03.437
When I first visited the cave,

602
00:41:03.633 --> 00:41:05.635
I saw nothing.

603
00:41:05.800 --> 00:41:09.850
When I went back, we discovered the bison.

604
00:41:10.050 --> 00:41:13.099
Now, what was the difference?

605
00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:17.428
You went to Paris and learned
from Monsieur Cartailhac.

606
00:41:18.383 --> 00:41:19.430
No.

607
00:41:20.592 --> 00:41:24.847
The difference was that you were there.

608
00:41:26.133 --> 00:41:29.342
You looked without prejudice.

609
00:41:31.050 --> 00:41:34.259
It will always be your discovery, Maria.

610
00:41:41.550 --> 00:41:42.642
Shall we?

611
00:41:44.258 --> 00:41:45.430
My lady.

612
00:42:20.508 --> 00:42:22.931
Monsieur Ratier.

613
00:42:39.008 --> 00:42:40.385
Monsignor.

614
00:42:41.092 --> 00:42:42.469
Isn't it good?

615
00:42:42.633 --> 00:42:43.429
Very good.

616
00:42:43.633 --> 00:42:46.386
We made a wise choice in Monsieur Ratier.

617
00:42:47.217 --> 00:42:49.845
I'm sorry you missed the King's visit.

618
00:42:50.050 --> 00:42:52.644
More excitement
than any of us can remember.

619
00:42:53.383 --> 00:42:55.681
You enjoyed yourself, I'm glad.

620
00:42:55.842 --> 00:42:58.391
But beware vainglory.

621
00:42:58.550 --> 00:43:01.599
Pride, intellectual pride or...

622
00:43:02.050 --> 00:43:04.678
a desire for worldly honour

623
00:43:04.842 --> 00:43:06.719
is a trap

624
00:43:06.842 --> 00:43:08.594
for the most pious.

625
00:43:08.925 --> 00:43:11.804
Remember the Scribes and Pharisees.

626
00:43:30.758 --> 00:43:33.136
Is this good enough for Lisbon next week?

627
00:43:33.633 --> 00:43:35.931
Do you still need to go?

628
00:43:36.092 --> 00:43:37.594
Now the King has been.

629
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.849
It's the largest ever
conference of Prehistory.

630
00:43:41.842 --> 00:43:45.722
Professor Vilanova does me
great honour to invite me.

631
00:43:45.842 --> 00:43:47.719
And they'll come on here?

632
00:43:48.633 --> 00:43:51.102
To begin the proper work
of examination, yes.

633
00:43:52.425 --> 00:43:54.143
They are atheists.

634
00:43:54.342 --> 00:43:56.811
It's a scientific meeting.

635
00:43:57.175 --> 00:43:59.803
We don't discuss such questions.

636
00:44:00.342 --> 00:44:03.391
What more can you need to know?

637
00:44:05.175 --> 00:44:07.052
Everything.

638
00:44:07.675 --> 00:44:09.052
Everything.

639
00:44:10.133 --> 00:44:12.181
How were they achieved?

640
00:44:13.008 --> 00:44:14.635
Were paintings common,

641
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:17.849
but all lost or undiscovered until now?

642
00:44:19.050 --> 00:44:21.553
Or is this the work of a lone genius,

643
00:44:21.717 --> 00:44:25.267
the Leonardo of the Paleolithic?

644
00:44:26.133 --> 00:44:28.511
The paintings are of bison,

645
00:44:28.717 --> 00:44:33.143
yet we haven't found
one single bison bone fragment

646
00:44:33.300 --> 00:44:34.677
in the cave.

647
00:44:34.842 --> 00:44:36.640
What was their purpose?

648
00:44:37.967 --> 00:44:40.561
Are we looking at a history?

649
00:44:41.092 --> 00:44:42.765
Celebration?

650
00:44:42.925 --> 00:44:44.393
Religion?

651
00:44:44.967 --> 00:44:47.641
Do you agree with Professor Vilanova?

652
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:50.679
You want to find the souls
of your cavemen.

653
00:44:50.842 --> 00:44:53.095
I want to understand the evidence.

654
00:44:55.675 --> 00:44:57.518
You should come to church.

655
00:45:21.092 --> 00:45:22.594
F sharp!

656
00:45:22.758 --> 00:45:23.975
F sharp.

657
00:45:25.217 --> 00:45:26.594
Pay attention.

658
00:45:32.383 --> 00:45:33.726
Mama.

659
00:45:35.092 --> 00:45:38.551
Monsieur Paul said
I could go drawing with him.

660
00:45:38.967 --> 00:45:40.139
May I?

661
00:45:40.300 --> 00:45:43.429
Drawing? Yes, I suppose so.

662
00:45:43.592 --> 00:45:46.391
But I don't want you in that cave
anymore. Don't be long.

663
00:45:46.550 --> 00:45:48.143
Yes, mama.

664
00:45:55.675 --> 00:45:58.019
Do you know how to do that?

665
00:45:59.758 --> 00:46:01.260
What are you doing?

666
00:46:01.842 --> 00:46:04.061
We need colours to paint.

667
00:46:06.008 --> 00:46:09.387
Did you know the world
used to be frozen all over,

668
00:46:09.550 --> 00:46:11.143
even the seas?

669
00:46:11.842 --> 00:46:14.436
So I could have walked
from here to America?

670
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:16.143
Skated.

671
00:46:16.300 --> 00:46:17.847
Do you want to go to America?

672
00:46:18.050 --> 00:46:19.302
Doesn't everyone?

673
00:46:19.467 --> 00:46:21.310
Mama and Papa don't.

674
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:23.518
They have everything they want here.

675
00:46:23.675 --> 00:46:24.801
Don't you?

676
00:46:27.092 --> 00:46:29.936
Me encanta tener
una guía tan experta como tú, pero...

677
00:46:30.217 --> 00:46:32.595
I hope I'm not taking you
from your lessons.

678
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:35.974
Papa thinks the best way to learn
is by doing.

679
00:46:36.592 --> 00:46:37.764
He's right.

680
00:46:38.592 --> 00:46:40.640
He's a very wise man, you know?

681
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:42.848
Was your father a painter?

682
00:46:43.550 --> 00:46:44.472
And his father too.

683
00:46:45.133 --> 00:46:49.092
Perhaps your great great great
great great great grandfather

684
00:46:49.300 --> 00:46:50.973
was a cave painter?

685
00:46:53.633 --> 00:46:55.806
I never thought about that.

686
00:46:55.967 --> 00:46:57.469
I like the idea.

687
00:46:58.258 --> 00:46:59.475
Let's make a cave painting.

688
00:47:03.633 --> 00:47:06.386
The cave master
must have planned it very well.

689
00:47:11.758 --> 00:47:13.055
I can't.

690
00:47:13.258 --> 00:47:14.726
Of course you can.

691
00:47:15.467 --> 00:47:18.141
Painting is looking. That is all.

692
00:47:20.925 --> 00:47:23.769
You know? You'll always be the girl

693
00:47:23.925 --> 00:47:26.474
who discovered
the oldest paintings in the world.

694
00:47:26.633 --> 00:47:29.682
Not many people do anything in their
whole life that comes close to that.

695
00:47:31.425 --> 00:47:33.553
Let alone at nine years old.

696
00:47:34.258 --> 00:47:36.260
Is it true? Tell me.

697
00:47:36.425 --> 00:47:37.426
Yes.

698
00:47:37.842 --> 00:47:38.968
Try it.

699
00:47:43.217 --> 00:47:44.764
This is too much.

700
00:47:44.925 --> 00:47:46.427
I'll give you some.

701
00:47:47.175 --> 00:47:48.768
It's late.

702
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:51.518
I must go home.

703
00:47:57.258 --> 00:47:58.510
Hide your hands.

704
00:48:01.258 --> 00:48:02.760
Good evening, sir.

705
00:48:10.175 --> 00:48:11.552
What a face!

706
00:48:11.758 --> 00:48:12.975
I would like to paint him.

707
00:48:13.092 --> 00:48:16.221
He's a horrid old cave bear!

708
00:48:25.133 --> 00:48:27.010
- Oh, no!
- What?

709
00:48:27.383 --> 00:48:28.930
Wagner.

710
00:48:36.550 --> 00:48:37.676
Thank you.

711
00:48:39.758 --> 00:48:41.305
Maria! Maria!

712
00:48:44.592 --> 00:48:46.094
Bravo!

713
00:48:46.258 --> 00:48:47.805
Au revoir.

714
00:49:29.758 --> 00:49:31.305
That's what I have been told.

715
00:49:32.175 --> 00:49:34.553
That your husband
does not believe in the Bible.

716
00:49:35.717 --> 00:49:38.971
That he's using the paintings
to harm the Church.

717
00:49:39.133 --> 00:49:40.350
He would never...

718
00:49:40.508 --> 00:49:42.681
He doesn't think like that, Elena.

719
00:49:43.342 --> 00:49:44.810
I'm just telling you

720
00:49:44.967 --> 00:49:46.935
so it doesn't catch you unaware.

721
00:49:47.050 --> 00:49:48.222
Father Tomas.

722
00:49:48.383 --> 00:49:50.431
I am glad you are here, my child.

723
00:49:50.633 --> 00:49:51.976
I am always here, Father.

724
00:49:52.092 --> 00:49:54.094
You have been working
for him in that cave.

725
00:49:54.675 --> 00:49:56.018
Don't deny it.

726
00:49:56.258 --> 00:50:00.343
The Monsignor has a special
message from the Bishop,

727
00:50:00.508 --> 00:50:02.761
in the light of all the recent...

728
00:50:02.967 --> 00:50:04.560
disturbance.

729
00:50:05.342 --> 00:50:06.844
Your husband is coming?

730
00:50:07.008 --> 00:50:10.091
He's preparing his findings
to present to the world's experts.

731
00:50:12.633 --> 00:50:14.977
For the greater glory of God.

732
00:50:16.175 --> 00:50:19.429
Beware those who fall into the Abyss

733
00:50:20.508 --> 00:50:23.352
of materialism and atheism.

734
00:50:23.508 --> 00:50:26.717
They labour to destroy
the deepest foundations

735
00:50:27.425 --> 00:50:29.519
of human society.

736
00:50:30.050 --> 00:50:33.805
They call
the Divine Scripture "mythology".

737
00:50:34.092 --> 00:50:36.561
They deny the Virgin Birth.

738
00:50:36.717 --> 00:50:38.560
They attack the Holy Family.

739
00:50:38.717 --> 00:50:40.264
Think then of the peril

740
00:50:40.425 --> 00:50:43.975
should your children be exposed
to their heresy.

741
00:50:44.925 --> 00:50:48.600
These are grave and bitter evils.

742
00:50:48.842 --> 00:50:52.051
Anyone who does not confess

743
00:50:52.217 --> 00:50:54.936
that the world and all things in it

744
00:50:55.050 --> 00:50:58.304
are created for the glory of God,

745
00:51:02.175 --> 00:51:04.269
let him be anathema,

746
00:51:05.508 --> 00:51:07.510
cast out from the Church.

747
00:51:25.675 --> 00:51:27.473
I'm going to the cave.

748
00:51:47.550 --> 00:51:50.599
The primitives didn't have an easy life.

749
00:51:50.925 --> 00:51:53.599
No one has an easy life, Maria.

750
00:52:02.925 --> 00:52:04.142
Visitors.

751
00:52:06.050 --> 00:52:07.973
We were expecting you.

752
00:52:08.175 --> 00:52:09.722
Edouard Harlé,

753
00:52:10.425 --> 00:52:11.768
at your service.

754
00:52:12.925 --> 00:52:13.926
Sautuola.

755
00:52:14.092 --> 00:52:16.641
You have come
on behalf of Monsieur Cartailhac?

756
00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:17.847
Oh, yes.

757
00:52:17.967 --> 00:52:20.641
You are very welcome. Very welcome indeed.

758
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:22.928
You are on the way to Lisbon,
to the conference.

759
00:52:23.092 --> 00:52:24.514
That's the one.

760
00:52:24.800 --> 00:52:25.517
Ratier.

761
00:52:29.467 --> 00:52:31.845
Please, won't you come in?

762
00:52:32.008 --> 00:52:34.511
It will give me great pleasure
to show you the cave.

763
00:52:34.675 --> 00:52:38.179
I would prefer to see for myself,

764
00:52:38.383 --> 00:52:39.680
if you permit.

765
00:52:42.342 --> 00:52:43.844
As you wish, yes.

766
00:52:44.550 --> 00:52:45.847
Yes, please.

767
00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:49.143
You're gonna need this.

768
00:52:50.967 --> 00:52:52.435
Of course.

769
00:53:05.842 --> 00:53:07.844
Look at the depth of colour,

770
00:53:08.050 --> 00:53:09.802
the definition.

771
00:53:09.925 --> 00:53:12.849
There is no sign of weathering.

772
00:53:20.383 --> 00:53:23.353
The paint is actually fresh!

773
00:53:29.008 --> 00:53:30.134
Half an hour.

774
00:53:30.467 --> 00:53:31.969
What are they doing there?

775
00:53:33.883 --> 00:53:36.181
That's good, a deer.

776
00:53:36.342 --> 00:53:39.972
Whoever did paint this
he has quite a talent.

777
00:53:40.425 --> 00:53:43.304
- Ratier.
- But those tiny legs...

778
00:53:44.258 --> 00:53:47.387
He has the proportion all wrong.

779
00:53:48.092 --> 00:53:50.561
It is all too evident
he has never seen an aurochs.

780
00:53:50.717 --> 00:53:52.640
It's not an aurochs. It's a bison!

781
00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:54.973
- Damn child again.
- Who is she?

782
00:53:55.133 --> 00:53:56.555
What are you doing in here?

783
00:53:56.717 --> 00:53:59.015
You are spying. Out! Go on!

784
00:54:00.758 --> 00:54:01.759
Get out!

785
00:54:02.092 --> 00:54:03.639
What are you doing here?

786
00:54:04.842 --> 00:54:06.515
- This is my cave.
- Get out!

787
00:54:06.675 --> 00:54:07.972
Go on!

788
00:54:08.467 --> 00:54:10.515
Typical crackpot nonsense,

789
00:54:10.675 --> 00:54:13.144
allowing a childplay in here.

790
00:54:13.300 --> 00:54:15.177
This child made the discovery.

791
00:54:15.342 --> 00:54:16.935
Whereas you, sir,

792
00:54:17.092 --> 00:54:18.685
no one invited you here.

793
00:54:18.842 --> 00:54:21.186
So take your malicious opinion
and get out.

794
00:54:21.425 --> 00:54:22.677
Out!

795
00:54:30.842 --> 00:54:34.221
He's a liar. And the other one
is an idiot who knows nothing!

796
00:54:34.383 --> 00:54:35.179
Enough.

797
00:54:35.342 --> 00:54:37.219
This is a very important visit

798
00:54:37.383 --> 00:54:39.306
and it must be conducted
in a scientific manner.

799
00:54:39.467 --> 00:54:40.559
Sir, please.

800
00:54:40.717 --> 00:54:41.684
But they don't understand-

801
00:54:41.842 --> 00:54:43.310
Ratier, please take her outside.

802
00:54:43.467 --> 00:54:44.434
- Please, come.
- They don't.

803
00:54:44.592 --> 00:54:45.764
Come with me. Come.

804
00:54:46.925 --> 00:54:48.051
Shut up!

805
00:54:48.717 --> 00:54:50.594
The rest of the cave. Sir, please.

806
00:55:14.342 --> 00:55:15.810
Were have you been?

807
00:55:18.550 --> 00:55:20.644
Maria, darling, are you alright?

808
00:55:56.008 --> 00:55:57.385
Papa!

809
00:56:55.508 --> 00:56:57.385
The air in that cave is bad.

810
00:56:57.550 --> 00:57:00.303
- It's an evil place.
- There are other cases in town.

811
00:57:00.467 --> 00:57:04.017
- They haven't been in the cave.
- Everyone's been in that hateful cave.

812
00:57:04.633 --> 00:57:06.135
See what you've done,

813
00:57:06.300 --> 00:57:08.223
digging up things best left alone!

814
00:57:08.383 --> 00:57:09.635
Best left alone. Why?

815
00:57:09.800 --> 00:57:12.269
So that we can continue
in ignorance and error?

816
00:57:12.425 --> 00:57:14.143
You have no respect
for the way things are.

817
00:57:14.342 --> 00:57:16.936
No. If they're wrong, no.

818
00:57:17.383 --> 00:57:19.477
You're so arrogant.

819
00:57:19.675 --> 00:57:21.552
You think anyone
who disagrees with you is a fool.

820
00:57:21.758 --> 00:57:24.477
- No. But this blinkered dogmatic view...
- Dogmatic?

821
00:57:25.092 --> 00:57:27.595
You've lost your Faith
and you want to take mine.

822
00:57:27.758 --> 00:57:29.700
It has nothing to do with Faith,
only logic.

823
00:57:29.800 --> 00:57:30.801
If your Faith gives you comfort...

824
00:57:31.008 --> 00:57:33.102
Don't treat me like a child.

825
00:57:33.258 --> 00:57:34.700
Do you think it's easy to believe?

826
00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:36.894
To believe in a loving

827
00:57:37.050 --> 00:57:38.802
all-powerful deity

828
00:57:38.967 --> 00:57:42.392
who want only destroys his Creation.
No, I don't think it's easy.

829
00:57:42.592 --> 00:57:44.811
You hate God for taking our babies.

830
00:57:44.925 --> 00:57:47.474
I didn't say that, don't twist my words.

831
00:57:47.675 --> 00:57:49.803
You should not have care of a child.

832
00:57:49.967 --> 00:57:52.436
It's not me that fills her head
with Sin and Hell.

833
00:57:52.592 --> 00:57:53.593
I won't listen to this.

834
00:57:53.758 --> 00:57:55.886
Because you have no arguments
on your side, my dear.

835
00:57:56.092 --> 00:57:58.811
Please stop. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

836
00:57:59.008 --> 00:58:00.931
It's alright, It's alright.

837
00:58:01.342 --> 00:58:04.141
Go. Go back to your cave.

838
00:58:51.592 --> 00:58:52.889
Professor.

839
00:58:53.050 --> 00:58:54.393
Marcelino.

840
00:58:56.592 --> 00:58:58.936
It isn't better to reveal them
in your lecture?

841
00:58:59.092 --> 00:59:01.700
I am told there is some resistance.

842
00:59:01.800 --> 00:59:05.805
The very idea of paintings of this age
is difficult to grasp.

843
00:59:06.633 --> 00:59:08.761
It's going to be a sensation.

844
00:59:09.467 --> 00:59:11.185
Esteemed colleagues.

845
00:59:14.008 --> 00:59:16.602
So many distinguished experts.

846
00:59:18.675 --> 00:59:21.929
Perhaps we in Spain can't claim the...

847
00:59:22.092 --> 00:59:24.140
eminence of France

848
00:59:24.300 --> 00:59:28.225
but the good Lord has seen fit
to bless us with a miraculous discovery.

849
00:59:30.425 --> 00:59:33.269
From this day we must begin again,

850
00:59:33.425 --> 00:59:37.225
to construct a new history of Mankind.

851
00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:43.759
This discovery is a profound challenge
to my own beliefs.

852
00:59:47.800 --> 00:59:50.974
But it is not for me
to tell you about our findings.

853
00:59:51.967 --> 00:59:53.514
You don't know him yet,

854
00:59:53.717 --> 00:59:57.642
but I am sure he will soon
be a famous name around the world

855
00:59:57.758 --> 01:00:01.388
Gentlemen, Don Marcelino Sautuola.

856
01:00:01.550 --> 01:00:02.767
Marcelino, come!

857
01:00:13.508 --> 01:00:16.307
Thank you, Professor Vilanova.

858
01:00:19.300 --> 01:00:20.517
I...

859
01:00:24.508 --> 01:00:26.010
Gentlemen,

860
01:00:27.383 --> 01:00:30.717
this is a very great honour, indeed.

861
01:00:33.425 --> 01:00:35.928
I'm only a foot soldier

862
01:00:36.300 --> 01:00:37.392
but here I am,

863
01:00:37.925 --> 01:00:40.348
addressing the generals!

864
01:01:01.592 --> 01:01:04.436
It seems quite plausible to suggest

865
01:01:05.217 --> 01:01:07.811
that these remarkable paintings,

866
01:01:08.008 --> 01:01:10.887
which mainly represent
animals not seen in the region

867
01:01:11.050 --> 01:01:12.552
since the last Ice Age,

868
01:01:12.925 --> 01:01:14.973
these masterpieces

869
01:01:16.133 --> 01:01:18.727
date from the same period.

870
01:01:22.467 --> 01:01:23.719
Thank you.

871
01:01:28.800 --> 01:01:32.759
I take my hat off to you,
Professor Vilanova.

872
01:01:33.008 --> 01:01:34.681
You have astonished us.

873
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:39.055
I do not blame Monsieur Sautuola,
a mere amateur,

874
01:01:39.217 --> 01:01:43.973
for his failure to understand
the basic principles of our science.

875
01:01:44.300 --> 01:01:46.302
We do not expect miracles,

876
01:01:46.467 --> 01:01:48.720
those went out with the Enlightenment.

877
01:01:49.967 --> 01:01:54.052
We have now a very complete record
of Prehistoric Man.

878
01:01:54.217 --> 01:01:56.015
I must inform you, sir,

879
01:01:56.425 --> 01:01:59.884
that this record does not include
any evidence of wall painting,

880
01:02:00.175 --> 01:02:01.802
not even a stick man.

881
01:02:02.008 --> 01:02:05.137
That's why we urge you to visit the cave.

882
01:02:05.300 --> 01:02:06.768
We were as amazed as you.

883
01:02:06.925 --> 01:02:08.643
It is quite impossible that primitive man,

884
01:02:08.758 --> 01:02:10.010
with his rudimentary brain,

885
01:02:10.217 --> 01:02:12.891
could create such elaborate works.

886
01:02:14.092 --> 01:02:15.810
Do you deny Evolution, sir?

887
01:02:16.925 --> 01:02:18.552
Indeed not.

888
01:02:18.717 --> 01:02:19.718
But if there is evidence...

889
01:02:19.883 --> 01:02:23.558
Show me this evidence that sweeps
aside the whole of Prehistory

890
01:02:23.717 --> 01:02:25.890
as we, poor fools, understand it.

891
01:02:26.050 --> 01:02:27.893
That's what we're trying to do.

892
01:02:28.258 --> 01:02:30.977
It's all there, in the cave.

893
01:02:31.717 --> 01:02:33.310
But... Hold on.

894
01:02:35.967 --> 01:02:36.968
This.

895
01:02:37.300 --> 01:02:39.473
You will see the same animal

896
01:02:39.633 --> 01:02:41.510
in the same style

897
01:02:42.008 --> 01:02:44.056
on a small stone

898
01:02:44.717 --> 01:02:45.764
found on the site.

899
01:02:45.925 --> 01:02:47.723
We are not discussing portable works

900
01:02:47.883 --> 01:02:52.639
but a vast fresco painted by
a Paleolithic Michelangelo

901
01:02:52.925 --> 01:02:55.053
or perhaps a tribe of Michelangelos.

902
01:02:55.217 --> 01:02:58.801
You don't want to admit evidence
that challenges your beautiful theory,

903
01:02:58.967 --> 01:03:00.969
but that is not good Science, sir.

904
01:03:01.175 --> 01:03:03.428
This is a very serious matter.

905
01:03:03.925 --> 01:03:05.802
Monsieur Harlé has examined the paintings

906
01:03:06.008 --> 01:03:08.602
and they are nothing more
than crude forgeries.

907
01:03:09.258 --> 01:03:10.931
- What?
- C'est un scandal!

908
01:03:11.383 --> 01:03:12.805
Monsieur Harlé reports

909
01:03:13.008 --> 01:03:16.717
that the paintings could not have been
made without artificial light

910
01:03:16.883 --> 01:03:20.262
and yet there are no soot marks
on the ceiling

911
01:03:20.425 --> 01:03:23.429
as would be inevitable
with primitive torches.

912
01:03:23.925 --> 01:03:28.017
Furthermore, in ancient rock paintings,
the pigment sinks into the stone,

913
01:03:28.175 --> 01:03:31.975
but here it's on the surface
and quite fresh.

914
01:03:32.133 --> 01:03:35.683
In places the pigment has even been
laid on top of a layer of calcite.

915
01:03:35.800 --> 01:03:38.474
But in other places
it is beneath the calcite...

916
01:03:38.633 --> 01:03:39.304
Evidence!

917
01:03:39.467 --> 01:03:41.811
Here is the evidence. Found at the site.

918
01:03:42.467 --> 01:03:43.764
Fresh paint!

919
01:03:43.967 --> 01:03:44.809
What is this?

920
01:03:46.508 --> 01:03:49.136
Please, this is not the case.

921
01:03:50.342 --> 01:03:54.222
I agree the freshness
of the paintings is surprising

922
01:03:54.425 --> 01:03:56.143
but when you consider
that the cave was closed

923
01:03:56.300 --> 01:03:57.927
for thousands of years, possibly...

924
01:03:58.092 --> 01:04:01.016
A painter was seen painting
in the Altamira cave.

925
01:04:01.175 --> 01:04:02.597
Do you deny it? Do you deny it?

926
01:04:02.758 --> 01:04:05.352
I don't know what you are saying, sir.

927
01:04:06.383 --> 01:04:07.976
Sir, you can't close your eyes.

928
01:04:08.133 --> 01:04:09.976
It's against Science, against Truth,

929
01:04:10.133 --> 01:04:11.680
Monsieur Cartailhac,

930
01:04:11.800 --> 01:04:14.098
this could be
the greatest discovery of our age!

931
01:04:14.258 --> 01:04:16.511
Won't you even look, sir?

932
01:04:17.342 --> 01:04:19.060
I know what I would find, sir.

933
01:04:19.217 --> 01:04:20.685
You are a forger.

934
01:04:22.550 --> 01:04:23.927
You should be ashamed.

935
01:06:14.258 --> 01:06:15.805
Papa?

936
01:06:26.925 --> 01:06:30.099
I deeply regret any trouble I caused, sir.

937
01:06:30.592 --> 01:06:32.219
Your concern comes too late.

938
01:06:32.383 --> 01:06:33.475
The damage is done.

939
01:06:33.633 --> 01:06:36.557
You left a trail like
a murderer's bloody footprints!

940
01:06:36.675 --> 01:06:38.973
They were technical studies.
I never thought they would twist it.

941
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.

942
01:06:43.425 --> 01:06:46.429
Every other objection
we could have answered...

943
01:06:47.133 --> 01:06:48.635
Except the light.

944
01:06:49.175 --> 01:06:50.518
The light.

945
01:06:52.008 --> 01:06:56.184
I don't understand
why there are no soot marks.

946
01:06:59.967 --> 01:07:02.891
I was trying to follow your own method
and experiment, that's all.

947
01:07:03.883 --> 01:07:05.430
I can only say I'm sorry.
What else can I do?

948
01:07:05.592 --> 01:07:06.593
Nothing, nothing.

949
01:07:07.133 --> 01:07:09.386
You've already done more than enough.

950
01:07:09.550 --> 01:07:11.644
What are you doing? No.

951
01:07:11.800 --> 01:07:13.973
Please!

952
01:07:17.008 --> 01:07:19.056
Stop it, stop it!

953
01:07:20.008 --> 01:07:21.351
He only did as you asked.

954
01:07:21.508 --> 01:07:23.727
Don't shoot your anger at him.
I made us paint there,

955
01:07:23.883 --> 01:07:25.476
I upset that horrid cave bear.

956
01:07:25.633 --> 01:07:28.512
I found the bison. It's all my fault.

957
01:07:29.258 --> 01:07:32.387
You hate him because he loves Mama.

958
01:07:35.800 --> 01:07:37.347
Maria!

959
01:07:42.092 --> 01:07:43.560
Go to your room.

960
01:07:46.133 --> 01:07:47.806
Go to your room, now!

961
01:07:48.050 --> 01:07:50.519
I hate it, I hate your cave.

962
01:07:50.633 --> 01:07:53.227
I wish I'd never seen it.

963
01:07:58.467 --> 01:08:01.186
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.

964
01:08:04.925 --> 01:08:06.222
Maria!

965
01:08:08.717 --> 01:08:09.718
Maria!

966
01:10:29.675 --> 01:10:31.552
I am so sorry.

967
01:10:31.925 --> 01:10:34.929
Madame, I have met forgers

968
01:10:35.342 --> 01:10:39.802
and those who commission forgeries
in my line of work, it's inevitable.

969
01:10:40.008 --> 01:10:40.930
I know you wouldn't...

970
01:10:41.092 --> 01:10:44.596
Yes, but a forgery is always
an expected piece,

971
01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:47.644
one of a series or like existing works.

972
01:10:47.800 --> 01:10:49.802
So that the market will want it.

973
01:10:51.050 --> 01:10:53.974
But no one would ever fake

974
01:10:54.175 --> 01:10:56.269
something so original,

975
01:10:56.425 --> 01:10:58.723
so unlikely

976
01:10:59.050 --> 01:11:01.223
as the bison of Altamira.

977
01:11:05.675 --> 01:11:07.473
Thank you, Paul.

978
01:11:08.550 --> 01:11:10.302
You are a good man.

979
01:11:17.342 --> 01:11:19.140
He is a good man.

980
01:11:20.925 --> 01:11:22.643
A visionary.

981
01:11:23.758 --> 01:11:27.638
This kind of man always attract
the envy of little man.

982
01:11:56.300 --> 01:11:58.928
I've written to Ratier

983
01:12:00.217 --> 01:12:01.469
to apologise.

984
01:12:01.592 --> 01:12:03.890
I must apologise to you.

985
01:12:05.175 --> 01:12:09.180
I spoke to Monsignor
of my fears for Maria.

986
01:12:09.342 --> 01:12:10.059
You're right.

987
01:12:10.258 --> 01:12:12.932
I never meant
you're not fit to be a father.

988
01:12:13.092 --> 01:12:14.765
I shouldn't be near her.

989
01:12:15.592 --> 01:12:17.265
I am a fool.

990
01:12:18.383 --> 01:12:20.977
Or worse, a liar.

991
01:12:25.675 --> 01:12:27.769
In all these years I have known you

992
01:12:27.967 --> 01:12:31.517
I have never heard you say
one word that you knew to be untrue.

993
01:12:31.675 --> 01:12:32.801
Please, Conchita...

994
01:12:32.967 --> 01:12:35.311
Why would you choose to start now?

995
01:12:41.758 --> 01:12:44.261
To make a name for myself.

996
01:12:45.675 --> 01:12:49.179
Make fools of other Prehistorians.

997
01:12:52.550 --> 01:12:55.804
To garner glory for Spain.

998
01:12:56.717 --> 01:12:58.310
Spain.

999
01:12:58.967 --> 01:13:00.935
Beautiful and...

1000
01:13:01.717 --> 01:13:03.560
so unfair.

1001
01:13:06.133 --> 01:13:10.764
To pretend an important discovery

1002
01:13:11.883 --> 01:13:15.342
could be made by a mere Spaniard.

1003
01:13:15.508 --> 01:13:18.227
None of those
could possibly be your motive.

1004
01:13:18.633 --> 01:13:21.102
Conchita, I believed in Science

1005
01:13:21.258 --> 01:13:23.431
with a dogmatic Faith,

1006
01:13:24.383 --> 01:13:26.556
forgetting it is made by men

1007
01:13:27.300 --> 01:13:29.473
in their own image.

1008
01:13:31.258 --> 01:13:34.808
I risked everything I hold dear

1009
01:13:35.008 --> 01:13:36.806
for nothing.

1010
01:13:41.800 --> 01:13:43.518
Forgive me.

1011
01:13:54.175 --> 01:13:56.018
- Where are we going?
- Confession.

1012
01:13:56.800 --> 01:13:58.177
Did you just sin?

1013
01:13:58.342 --> 01:14:00.140
To the church, please.

1014
01:14:07.633 --> 01:14:10.136
Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

1015
01:14:10.592 --> 01:14:13.516
It is two days since my last confession.

1016
01:14:14.550 --> 01:14:18.259
Since then I've discovered
your treachery, Father.

1017
01:14:19.633 --> 01:14:22.386
Or should I say "Señor Tablanca"?

1018
01:14:22.550 --> 01:14:24.177
Shame on you.

1019
01:14:30.133 --> 01:14:32.056
How dare you come here and accuse me?

1020
01:14:32.217 --> 01:14:34.470
You accepted my confidences

1021
01:14:34.592 --> 01:14:36.435
and then used them against my husband,

1022
01:14:36.550 --> 01:14:38.052
that's treachery...

1023
01:14:38.217 --> 01:14:40.515
We did not speak
under the seal of the confessional.

1024
01:14:40.675 --> 01:14:41.972
Oh, you and your rules!

1025
01:14:42.133 --> 01:14:43.555
To twist my words,

1026
01:14:43.717 --> 01:14:45.890
to accuse him
of "perverting a child's mind."

1027
01:14:46.050 --> 01:14:48.303
What does your husband do
but stir upon thinking minds

1028
01:14:48.467 --> 01:14:49.969
to doubt the teachings of the Church?

1029
01:14:50.133 --> 01:14:53.763
His cave obscures
the pure light of Divine Reason

1030
01:14:53.925 --> 01:14:55.268
with muddy accident.

1031
01:14:55.425 --> 01:14:58.395
I read your articles, Monsignor Tablanca.

1032
01:14:58.925 --> 01:15:02.384
I don't care to hear them repeated,
however nice your phrasing.

1033
01:15:02.508 --> 01:15:05.261
My duty is to protect
the Faith of the Church.

1034
01:15:05.425 --> 01:15:09.305
My duty is to my husband,
who hasn't one deceitful bone in.

1035
01:15:09.467 --> 01:15:11.435
You place your husband before God?!

1036
01:15:11.800 --> 01:15:14.804
Not before God, before you.

1037
01:15:16.925 --> 01:15:19.474
It's time to make your confession,
my child,

1038
01:15:19.633 --> 01:15:22.386
before you sink deeper in error.

1039
01:15:22.967 --> 01:15:24.969
Confess to you, Monsignor?

1040
01:15:25.133 --> 01:15:27.682
And read my sins in tomorrow's paper?

1041
01:15:45.467 --> 01:15:47.561
Mama, have you got the fever?

1042
01:15:48.467 --> 01:15:50.890
No, quite cool.

1043
01:15:51.300 --> 01:15:53.177
Not a word to papa.

1044
01:16:16.550 --> 01:16:20.259
Carried out by a mere amateur,

1045
01:16:20.425 --> 01:16:23.634
this research may yet help men of Science

1046
01:16:23.800 --> 01:16:27.100
tear aside the veil of ignorance

1047
01:16:27.258 --> 01:16:30.307
and prove beyond doubt

1048
01:16:30.425 --> 01:16:35.431
that these paintings
are of truly ancient origin.

1049
01:16:52.342 --> 01:16:53.810
What is that?

1050
01:16:54.092 --> 01:16:55.594
Marrow fat.

1051
01:16:55.758 --> 01:16:58.386
Makes the best lamp oil.

1052
01:16:58.508 --> 01:16:59.885
Why?

1053
01:17:00.050 --> 01:17:02.769
Clear and steady. And no soot marks.

1054
01:17:02.967 --> 01:17:04.935
Why no soot marks?

1055
01:17:05.092 --> 01:17:06.890
It's a good question.

1056
01:17:07.800 --> 01:17:09.677
A very good question, indeed.

1057
01:17:14.550 --> 01:17:18.259
Excuse me, Pasi.
May I borrow that for a moment?

1058
01:17:22.717 --> 01:17:24.094
Maria.

1059
01:17:52.300 --> 01:17:55.270
A lamp?

1060
01:17:56.550 --> 01:17:58.427
This is Science.

1061
01:17:59.967 --> 01:18:01.344
An idea.

1062
01:18:01.925 --> 01:18:03.893
An experiment.

1063
01:18:04.508 --> 01:18:05.680
A proof.

1064
01:18:06.800 --> 01:18:09.098
Do you see how beautiful that is?

1065
01:18:09.800 --> 01:18:11.598
Yes, Papa.

1066
01:18:12.883 --> 01:18:15.227
If you're a good scientist,

1067
01:18:15.675 --> 01:18:18.349
no one can ever take the truth from you.

1068
01:18:18.758 --> 01:18:20.305
Amen to that.

1069
01:18:22.925 --> 01:18:25.519
Now you can tell
Monsieur Cartailhac he's wrong.

1070
01:18:25.967 --> 01:18:27.810
He must apologise.

1071
01:18:28.425 --> 01:18:30.098
It won't be enough.

1072
01:18:30.425 --> 01:18:32.177
He accused you, in public.

1073
01:18:32.342 --> 01:18:35.312
No, he has all the more to lose.

1074
01:18:35.883 --> 01:18:40.059
It's not so easy to change direction
when you're set on a course.

1075
01:18:41.342 --> 01:18:43.060
I know.

1076
01:18:49.133 --> 01:18:50.726
Think of the garden.

1077
01:18:53.300 --> 01:18:56.099
If branches grow across our path,

1078
01:18:57.508 --> 01:18:59.636
we just have to move the path.

1079
01:19:01.883 --> 01:19:03.385
Marcelino,

1080
01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:09.226
will you... will you take me to the cave?

1081
01:20:04.508 --> 01:20:07.307
You never told me the artists were women.

1082
01:20:13.592 --> 01:20:15.014
Close you eyes.

1083
01:20:23.550 --> 01:20:25.143
Are you ready?

1084
01:20:25.550 --> 01:20:27.552
Open you eyes.

1085
01:21:37.425 --> 01:21:39.393
Have you decided what to say?

1086
01:21:39.717 --> 01:21:42.561
I always admired his attention to detail,

1087
01:21:42.717 --> 01:21:44.344
rare in an amateur.

1088
01:21:45.508 --> 01:21:47.351
Will he demand a public apology?

1089
01:21:47.508 --> 01:21:49.886
He has never written
to complain in public.

1090
01:21:50.050 --> 01:21:53.054
Then your reputation
will be safe, professeur.

1091
01:21:57.425 --> 01:21:58.927
Here we are.

1092
01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:02.474
Let humility be your watchguard.

1093
01:22:12.383 --> 01:22:13.600
Emilio.

1094
01:22:13.758 --> 01:22:15.135
Mama.

1095
01:22:32.758 --> 01:22:33.884
Mesdames,

1096
01:22:34.092 --> 01:22:36.186
I am the Abbé Breuil.

1097
01:22:36.883 --> 01:22:38.351
This is Monsieur Émile Cartailhac.

1098
01:22:39.008 --> 01:22:40.260
Dear Ladies.

1099
01:22:40.425 --> 01:22:41.392
Monsieur.

1100
01:22:42.425 --> 01:22:45.053
You are just as I always imagined.

1101
01:22:45.717 --> 01:22:48.140
We have waited too long.

1102
01:22:48.300 --> 01:22:49.176
Indeed.

1103
01:22:50.175 --> 01:22:52.269
I should have come long ago.

1104
01:22:54.967 --> 01:22:58.221
Señor Sautuola
will have heard of the cave paintings

1105
01:22:58.342 --> 01:23:00.595
discovered in the Dordogne this last year.

1106
01:23:01.008 --> 01:23:03.511
There is no doubt of their antiquity,

1107
01:23:03.675 --> 01:23:05.723
since they were covered by layers of earth

1108
01:23:05.883 --> 01:23:08.352
more than ten thousand years old.

1109
01:23:08.550 --> 01:23:11.019
And this is what brings you to our door.

1110
01:23:11.300 --> 01:23:14.804
Twenty years after you ruined
my husband's good name.

1111
01:23:15.383 --> 01:23:18.262
I sincerely wish to make amends

1112
01:23:18.383 --> 01:23:20.977
for any injustice I did him.

1113
01:23:24.633 --> 01:23:26.931
May I apologize in person?

1114
01:23:29.633 --> 01:23:30.805
Papa.

1115
01:23:31.217 --> 01:23:33.015
He is here.

1116
01:23:34.092 --> 01:23:35.139
Cartailhac.

1117
01:23:54.050 --> 01:23:56.974
You cannot tell my husband, Monsieur.

1118
01:23:58.675 --> 01:24:00.643
You can tell the world.

1119
01:24:09.758 --> 01:24:11.351
Please, Mero.

1120
01:24:43.092 --> 01:24:45.186
After you, gentlemen.

1121
01:26:30.217 --> 01:26:35.178
"After Altamira all is decadence.
We have invented nothing" - Pablo Picasso

1122
01:26:36.258 --> 01:26:39.387
Modern techniques date the paintings
up to 35,000 years ago,

1123
01:26:39.550 --> 01:26:41.803
even older
than Marcelino Sautuola imagined.

1124
01:26:43.425 --> 01:26:45.894
In the years that followed the discovery,

1125
01:26:46.342 --> 01:26:50.472
my father and all our family
endured great sadness

1126
01:26:51.175 --> 01:26:54.224
as humiliation and public rejection

1127
01:26:54.383 --> 01:26:58.183
followed the injustice
of accusations of forgery.

1128
01:26:59.425 --> 01:27:02.474
My father died in 1889.

1129
01:27:04.258 --> 01:27:07.102
Thirteen years later, in 1902,

1130
01:27:07.217 --> 01:27:10.141
after the discovery
of several caves in France,

1131
01:27:10.467 --> 01:27:13.437
Émile Cartailhac visited Altamira

1132
01:27:13.592 --> 01:27:17.677
and published his famous apology:
"Mea Culpa d'un Sceptique",

1133
01:27:17.800 --> 01:27:23.136
recognizing his errors, the honesty
of Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola

1134
01:27:23.800 --> 01:27:27.100
and the authenticity
and age of the paintings.

1135
01:27:28.675 --> 01:27:32.100
His honor was finally restored.

1136
01:29:12.383 --> 01:29:14.636
Dedicated to the memory of
D. Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola

1137
01:29:14.800 --> 01:29:16.802
and his great-grandson,
Emilio Botín-Sanz de Sautuola y Ríos,

1138
01:29:16.967 --> 01:29:18.685
who shared his passion
for the arts and education,

1139
01:29:18.800 --> 01:29:20.768
his curious mind and deep intuition.

1140
01:29:21.050 --> 01:29:23.803
In loving memory of Jose Antonio Lasheras
for a life dedicated to Altamira.
