Major Mungo Munro:
[about El Casco's guerrillas]
The story goes, there was a great shipwreck hereabouts, long long ago. A galleon, bearing treasure from Mexico to the King of Spain. Not only gold, but idols for him to see, even people from that terrible land.
Richard Sharpe:
Treasure?
Major Mungo Munro:
Ah that catches your ear, laddie? Well if it's still there, no one's found it!
Bess Nugent:
William heard of it too.
Ellie Nugent:
You said a 'terrible land'?
Major Mungo Munro:
The Aztecs of Mexico were a high civilization, and entirely evil!
Ellie Nugent:
How could that be?
Lt. Ayres:
Their religion was based on human sacrifice. They cut the living hearts out of their prisoners...
Major Mungo Munro:
That'll do for now, man.
Lt. Ayres:
...thousands at a time. Or they skinned them.
Major Mungo Munro:
I said that'll do!
Lt. Ayres:
They even had a god of flaying...the flayed god...
Richard Sharpe:
Stop gloating, Ayres!
Lt. Ayres:
I came across it in my studies. Rather amusing.
Ellie Nugent:
Major Munroe, you didn't mean there could be any of that here?
Major Mungo Munro:
No. Well, maybe a taint turned into foolish nonsense, these folk are peasants.
Ellie Nugent:
And that's all?
