:06:02
You'll be heard
at Salamanca University.
:06:08
ln a week!
:06:10
That's what it says.
:06:19
How did you manage it?
:06:21
With some difficulty.
:06:22
l promised them
you weren't a total fool.
:06:41
Marco Polo said he found Earthly
Paradise off the coast of China.
:06:47
Do you believe this?
:06:49
l believe in Paradise and Hell.
And l do believe both can
be earthly.
:06:55
Now...
let's go through this again.
:07:01
Why do you wish to sail west?
:07:05
To open a new route to Asia.
:07:07
Asia is the richest Kingdom.
The land of spices and gold.
:07:14
There are two ways of reaching it...
:07:17
By sea...
Sailing around the African continent,
:07:21
which takes a year,
:07:23
or by land. But the Turks
have closed the route to Christians.
:07:28
There is a third way...
:07:32
by sailing west
across the sea.
:07:38
The distance is unknown...
:07:40
lt's said to be infinite.
:07:50
Superstition!
:07:51
l believe the lndies
:07:52
are no more than 750 leagues
west of the Canary lslands.
:07:58
How can you be so certain?
