Ministério do Tempo

S01E18: Time of the Hidden (1497/2016 - Sines)

In 2016 Salvador is quietly reading the newspaper when he is questioned by Fidelino, a conspiracy theorist, who warns that he has posted a video on the internet denouncing the existence of the Ministry of Time. Salvador informs the patrol that the video far surpassed half a million views. In an attempt to avoid more drastic measures, Salvador decides to try to eliminate the suspicions of Fidelino. For this they will invite him to visit the Ministry. The bustle settles in the Ministry. Everyone tries to give it a gray tone, making it look as close to other Ministries as possible. The clothes become old-fashioned, the rooms are filled with computers, people can not laugh. Access to the platform for the Doors of Time is closed. Fidelino appears in the company of his daughter, Sónia. Salvador takes him on a guided tour. Sónia records everything that goes on. Fidelino begins to believe that he is in a perfectly banal Ministry ... Until, as fate would have it, Fidelino discovers the proof of the existence of the Ministry. Pointing a weapon at Salvador, he forces him to show him the way to the Doors of Time. Salvador is forced to obey. In the corridor of the Doors, Fidelino attacks Salvador and enters through a door... that leads him to Silves in the year 1497. Amazed, Fidelino and Sónia quickly encounter Vasco da Gama, who is on his way to Lisbon to embark on his trip to India. The patrol, without knowing for sure which door passed Fidelino, begins its search. It is during this mission, when they are in the year of 1997, that they discover a bill of five thousand escudos... where appears the figure of Fidelino, and not that of Vasco da Gama. Somehow, the conspiracy theorist took the place of the navigator in the history of Portugal. Amélia, Tiago and Afonso leave immediately to 1497, to capture Fidelino. But when they arrive they will realize that they are in the midst of a dangerous international intrigue, which aims to prevent Vasco da Gama from embarking to India.
