Ministério do Tempo

S01E17: Time of Miracles (1317/2016 - Sabugal)

1317. King D. Dinis and Lopo, one of his nobles, ride horses while discussing the virtues of planting a large pine forest in Leiria. They are approaching Sabugal, where the Holy Queen walks in the streets. Plunged with the misery she attends, the queen distributed bread and gold to the poor, even though she knew that D. Dinis was opposed to this practice. D. Dinis and Lopo find Queen Santa Isabel still in the street. D. Dinis, suspicious, asks the famous question: What do you wear on your lap, lady? And the Holy Queen replies: Nothing! Somehow, the Miracle of Roses did not happen! 1894. Amelia is informed by Olinda of Henriqueta's visit. She, in tears, confesses to Amelia that she discovered the existence of the Ministry. In desperation, she visited the Holy Queen and asked her for offerings. The Queen gave her all the bread and gold she had with her. Because of her fault, the Queen's lap was empty and there was no miracle of the Roses. In distress, Amelia takes Henriqueta to the Ministry in 2016. Salvador orders the patrol to resolve the matter. He summons Camões to... order him to buy a dozen roses. As soon as possible! The patrol goes to Sabugal. They know that, in addition to the normal difficulties of a mission, they have to be careful of the black plague, which in 1317 assaulted the kingdom. Meanwhile, Irene collects signatures at the Ministry. We are on the eve of the final of the 2016 European Football Championship. And the plan that Irene is putting in place seems to have something to do with the match between France and Portugal. Desperate, Camões can't find roses anywhere. With no other alternative, he realizes he has to travel far and fast. Camões marches confidently, ignoring the disadvantages of some ways of transportation of the 21st century. At Sabugal time is urgent. D. Dinis is about to leave for Leiria. Afonso does everything, even something unusual in himself, to convince the monarch to stay a few more days... Irene engages Maria dos Prazeres in the mysterious conspiracy. Now it is only necessary to persuade Salvador to fulfill the request, which has already been signed by all officials of the Ministry of Time. Camões gets the roses and delivers them to the patrol. Amélia and Tiago, at the last moment, arrange a way for the Miracle of Roses to take place, preserving the history... while Salvador, knowing about the "conspiracy", finally yields, knowing in his heart that he will correct a terrible irony of history.
