In which the city girds itself for war as the bridges are broken and a parley with Cortes unfolds, revealing tensions and grim fates amid the fall of Montezuma; in the ensuing chaos, an inexperienced yet resolute Englishman rises amidst the Aztecs, wielding a bow with surprising effect and rallying troops under his command. The darkness of the night brings fierce and disordered combat on the causeways, culminating in the bloody and chaotic “noche triste,” where allegiances blur and personal enmities surface amidst the tumult of battle and loss.
