0:00:55 > 0:00:58'had descended upon us,

0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Who was taken from us? - Brother Ignatius.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Was it the pestilence? - We have not been told.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I have no signs.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Osmund.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Thanks be to God you're safe.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Where have you been? - I was confined.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35They thought I was sick.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- I thought you were dead. - I'm all right.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- I prayed for you. I prayed all the time.- Shh.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I'm all right. Shh.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51I've brought food.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59One of our brothers...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01he died this morning, Averill.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Even the monastery is no longer safe.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04You must go now.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05You must go back to Dentwich Forest
0:06:05 > 0:06:08and you must hide there till this has passed.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11On Sunday, the prior said the pestilence
0:06:11 > 0:06:14was God's new purge sent to wash away our sins.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Is God punishing us? - No, no.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26But you must go now.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28You must go back to Dentwich.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35You must go.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Osmund, I... - Averill, you'll die.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56And you will not?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Come with me.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06But if I leave the monastery now, I would betray God.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09We have already betrayed him.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53You know the Martyr's Cross at Dentwich Forest?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I will wait for you there
0:07:56 > 0:07:58every morning at dawn for one week.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03And then I will be gone.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Forgive me, Father. I'm confused.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I confess I'm torn.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Can I serve you outside of these walls?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I would leave here,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53but I would never stray from your grace, Father.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Show me your will.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Father, give me a sign.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18BELL TOLLS
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I am Ulric, envoy to the bishop.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42What I say now does not leave these walls.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Word has reached the bishop
0:09:46 > 0:09:49of a village that does not suffer as the rest of you.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52They say it is a sanctuary from the pestilence.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54There are many villages
0:09:54 > 0:09:57that have not been ravaged yet by the pestilence.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59It is claimed these villagers
0:09:59 > 0:10:01are beyond death's icy grasp.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Then they are gravely mistaken.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10These are difficult times.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Such claims, however fantastical,
0:10:13 > 0:10:18can find favour with those less educated than you or I.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Precisely why we cannot fall foul
0:10:21 > 0:10:23of rumour and superstition.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25God's grip on his people is loosened.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28We must ensure the flock is not tempted
0:10:28 > 0:10:31to look beyond God and Church for answers.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I must see for myself how this village is kept safe.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38What part have we in this?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40The village I seek lies in the Great Marsh.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42I require a guide,
0:10:42 > 0:10:44a man of God, to show the way.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47No man here fit for such a task.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52With the bishop's blessing I may choose any man here.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56Out of respect, I grant you that choice.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I will lead you there.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01No, he is a mere novice.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- This requires a more experienced hand.- Let him speak.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07You say the village you seek lies in the Great Marsh.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I was raised close by in Dentwich Forest.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I know the area better than any man.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17He has all the experience I require.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19You will lead us.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21We leave at dawn.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Osmund, that man is more dangerous
0:11:25 > 0:11:27than the pestilence itself.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Father, I prayed for guidance.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32God has answered.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54Even if you survive, the world out there will change you.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Perhaps that's what I want, Father.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48< Get that woman out of here!
0:13:15 > 0:13:19# My lady-love and I We lived in joyous sin
0:13:19 > 0:13:22# Now my lady-love has got the blackened skin
0:13:22 > 0:13:26# My lady-love and I We bore a love so brave
0:13:26 > 0:13:30# Now my lady-love rots in an early grave. #
0:13:30 > 0:13:32HORSE WHINNIES
0:13:41 > 0:13:43We have our guide.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58God has no men left.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00He sends us a boy.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Are you up to it, son?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I can lead you there.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Pray you do.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Split any man from his asshole to his apple.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12What's that for?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16How much does he know?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Ulric was frugal, shall we say,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21with the truth.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26This Village we're headed to...
0:14:26 > 0:14:28they have cast God aside.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30In his place sits a demon.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32There is talk of sacrifice,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36of men eating men and of raising the dead.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Now we are charged to bring the leader of this village
0:14:39 > 0:14:41back for confession, trial and execution.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44The bishop seeks to roast himself a necromancer.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Sorry, what is a necromancer?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47A necromancer is someone
0:14:47 > 0:14:49who plucks the dead from the cold earth
0:14:49 > 0:14:52and breathes new life into them.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- < We have the tools. - We have the will.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58We journey into hell,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00but God travels with us.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01So you misled me.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Return to your monastery if you feel betrayed,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08or join us and do God's work.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Let's get this cleared up. Let's get going.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14That includes you, Swire.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Aye.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Aye!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42March it. Aye.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Aye!
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Oi. - Aye.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00We're not as bad as you think.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02We're worse.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04But we need you alive.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08You seem well-suited to keeping men alive.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I spent many a long year in the King's army
0:16:10 > 0:16:12with Wolfstan and Griff.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13I'll be honest with you -
0:16:13 > 0:16:16we've never faced a demon before,
0:16:16 > 0:16:17but we take what comes our way.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19What happened to him?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Ivo was captured.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23He wouldn't talk,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25so the bastard French tore out his tongue.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- And him? - Mold is a man to leave alone,
0:16:31 > 0:16:32unless there is butchery to be done.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Dalywag, he's a torturer, a hangman,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40and if rumour is true, murderer, thief
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and defiler of women.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Apart from that, he's a good man.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47What about Ulric?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I've got a wife and child. I'm here for the money.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Ulric is here because God told him to come.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Please don't do this! Don't!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Burn!- For God's sake, have mercy.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Please have mercy! No!
0:17:13 > 0:17:14SHOUTING CONTINUES
0:17:18 > 0:17:19We must help her.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Do you hear me? You deserve to burn!
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- I haven't done anything. - Burn! Burn the witch.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Burn her.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29You have angered God and brought sins down on us all!
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- You're in league with the devil. - What is her crime?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33She brought death to our village.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Death is all around us. It needs no invitation.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38This does not involve you, Monk. Step aside.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I have done nothing! Please.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Move, stand aside.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Please, please.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Stand aside! Back! - Please help me.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47What is this woman accused of?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48She poisoned our well in a pact with the devil.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Now half our village is dead.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I offered a simple blessing
0:17:51 > 0:17:53over our water to keep everyone safe.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- Liar! - I did nothing wrong!
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Liar! The dying began after she was seen at the well.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Do you have her confession?- Plenty of us saw her cast her spell.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Now she must burn to spare what remains of our village.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Move aside.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- I will not ask again. - Back.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Help me.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Thank you. Thank you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40SHE SOBS
0:18:42 > 0:18:44SHE SCREAMS
0:18:44 > 0:18:46SHE GURGLES
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Do not stop again.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Come on, brown slug.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12As sure as the sun will rise and fall,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14witches WILL burn.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16There's a village in the north
0:19:16 > 0:19:20that burned 128 witches in one night.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23That's 16 an hour for eight hours.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25By the time that night was through,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27they'd killed every woman in the village.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31By the end of that week, the men were shagging pigs.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Pestilence isn't trial enough.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Now God has us shagging pigs.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41This village we seek - have you been there?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44No, but I know where it lies.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Hell awaits us,
0:19:46 > 0:19:47or so we're told.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50If you've not got the stomach for it, then leave now,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52and I'll have your share of the bounty.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Where does the Church believe
0:19:54 > 0:19:56this pestilence has come from?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I don't believe God is punishing us, like many do.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02I say from France,
0:20:02 > 0:20:04where all foul things emerge.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05For once, Swire,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07you might not be too far from the truth.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13Three summers past we fought a battle at Crcy in Normandy.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16King Edward's army was dwarfed.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19For every 20 of us there were 100 Frenchmen at least.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22And the French... oh, the French...
0:20:24 > 0:20:26..they could sense victory.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28They could smell it.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Well, on that day for the first time
0:20:30 > 0:20:33our archers used the longbow -
0:20:33 > 0:20:36quicker to load, farther in flight.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Their arrows... Well, their arrows were useless.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40They couldn't reach us.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44But ours, ours were like a dark, buzzing cloud.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48At the day's end, the field was littered
0:20:48 > 0:20:50with their dead and their dying.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Now custom, no matter how fierce the battle,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56is to use the misericorde.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Misericorde - it's the mercy-giver.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Stab straight through the armpit, directly into the heart.
0:21:02 > 0:21:03It's quick and painless.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05But on this day,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07there was an end to chivalry.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10King Edward ordered every Frenchman left alive
0:21:10 > 0:21:13to be killed without mercy.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18Arms, heads, legs hacked away.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23God's greatest army descended into savagery.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Forgive me, but how does that
0:21:29 > 0:21:31concern the pestilence?
0:21:31 > 0:21:34We invited Death among us that day.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36He hasn't left us since.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10That woman you killed...
0:22:10 > 0:22:12she was no witch.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Why did you volunteer to join us, Monk?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21To serve God.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Killing witches serves God.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29The woman was already dead.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30But I freed her.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33The mob would have caught her again and burned her.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I spared her suffering.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Sometimes that is all you can do.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48BIRDSONG
0:23:03 > 0:23:05DISTANT SHOUTS
0:23:18 > 0:23:21THEY CHANT
0:24:06 > 0:24:08He says turn back.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Where we are headed
0:24:10 > 0:24:12men have become savages.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21HE PRAYS IN LATIN
0:24:40 > 0:24:42SPLASHING
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Must have been something pretty special
0:24:45 > 0:24:48to tempt you away from that nice warm monastery.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- Anything you want to tell me?- No.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Do you know what my job is?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I'm a torturer,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10truth getter.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Spend hours on a man, can smell a lie.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15And I smell you.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I'd pray somewhere else if I were you.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Have you broken any vows yet, boy?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06Leave him be, Mold.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13Back! Get back!
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Griff! Griff!
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- I said get back! - Leave me alone. Leave me alone.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Let me look.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Let me look.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I'm just going to take a look.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35All right?
0:26:35 > 0:26:38OK, my friend? Just having a look.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Why didn't you tell us?
0:27:15 > 0:27:17I'm sorry.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20His journey is finished here.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I prefer mercy.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I need to make confession to the friar.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37No, we cannot be sure how this thing is spread.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Who the hell asked you?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I will take your confession.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48Come, you shall have absolution.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58You keep your mouth shut!
0:28:08 > 0:28:10HE SPEAKS IN LATIN
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Forgive me.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Holy Father Who art in heaven
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Hallowed be thy name
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Come thy kingdom
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Fulfilled be thy will in heaven as on earth
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Our each day bread give us today...
0:28:37 > 0:28:39I need a moment with him.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Amen.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43HE COUGHS
0:28:56 > 0:28:59I'm glad it's you.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Look, it's...
0:29:01 > 0:29:03HE GASPS
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Farewell, my friend.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Bury him.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35March it, aye!
0:29:37 > 0:29:39March it, aye.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04The forest of Dentwich.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06How far to the marsh?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Half a day, perhaps less.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Be on your guard.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12God has slipped over the horizon.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25You're on watch tonight, Swire.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42Giving Griff absolution took courage.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Do you truly believe this village can raise their dead?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I would not be here otherwise.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59Do you doubt it?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03I believe that hunting necromancers and demons
0:31:03 > 0:31:06serves men more than it serves God.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11You have learned much nestled inside a monastery.
0:31:14 > 0:31:19Demons and necromancers are among us
0:31:19 > 0:31:23as you will find out soon enough.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Now get some sleep.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37BIRDSONG
0:31:53 > 0:31:55SNORING
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Averill!
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Averill!
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Averill.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Averill.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13No.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24No, no.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26No.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Averill!
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Wake up! Ulric, get up!
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Wolfstan, Ulric, wake up, wake up!
0:33:57 > 0:33:58Ulric! There are men in the forest.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Calm down. What did you see?
0:34:00 > 0:34:01- That's all I saw. - What did you see?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- They're in the forest. - How many?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- I don't know. I don't know. - How many?
0:34:05 > 0:34:06He doesn't know.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Mold, forward now.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Wait, wait.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Rah!
0:34:47 > 0:34:50SHOUTING
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Argh!

0:35:24 > 0:35:26Ahh!
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Ahh!
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Ahh!
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Ahh!
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Shut up.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51BONES CRUNCH
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Ahh!
0:36:52 > 0:36:54SQUELCHING
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Yah!
0:37:35 > 0:37:37Where's Ivo?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45You all right?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59We've lost Ivo.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Why did you leave the camp?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Speak!
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I came here to meet a woman.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12And where is she?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14She did not survive the forest.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18God has punished me for leaving his monastery.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21God has better things to think of.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Because of you one of my men is dead.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37If we move, we move now.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39How do we know the man we've come for is not here?
0:38:39 > 0:38:42These men are nothing more but common thieves.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- You will lead us to the Great Marsh.- Sir, I'm of no use to you.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50You will lead us
0:38:50 > 0:38:53or stay here alone
0:38:53 > 0:38:54and be damned.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30The village lies beyond the marsh.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32What's the plan?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Identify the heretic,
0:39:36 > 0:39:39capture him, put him in the cage.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- The cage will never go across that marsh.- Then we leave it behind.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46We'll drag him here.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Come on, boy.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Come on.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20What brings you to our village?
0:43:23 > 0:43:26We seek refuge...
0:43:26 > 0:43:28a place to rest, nothing more.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Then you are welcome.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39My name is Hob.
0:43:45 > 0:43:47I am Ulric.
0:43:47 > 0:43:49You were attacked.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52In the forest.
0:43:52 > 0:43:54Then you did well to reach us.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56That forest can be dangerous.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58May I ask what you were doing?
0:43:58 > 0:44:00Bringing relief to the suffering.
0:44:00 > 0:44:04Relief? From what?
0:44:04 > 0:44:07Word of the pestilence has not reached you?
0:44:07 > 0:44:09Word is all that has reached us.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Come.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24What the hell is going on?
0:44:24 > 0:44:27We need guile to draw out the necromancer.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36No one acts unless I say so.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55Tonight, we'll feed you and give you a bed.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57Then in the morning we'll escort you to a safer part of the forest.
0:44:57 > 0:44:59We're not welcome?
0:44:59 > 0:45:01Well, of course.
0:45:01 > 0:45:04But why would you stay?
0:45:08 > 0:45:12Here are some buckets. You need to wash.
0:45:25 > 0:45:28This is no time to be blinded by grief.
0:45:39 > 0:45:41If this is hell,
0:45:41 > 0:45:43I can't wait for heaven.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46You're not bound for heaven, Swire, believe me.
0:46:13 > 0:46:17- I'll tend to your wounds. - I'll tend to your wound.
0:46:21 > 0:46:23That needs to be dressed.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26- Come with me. - Maybe you should get it seen to.
0:46:53 > 0:46:58- Where are you from? - From the monastery at Staveley.
0:47:00 > 0:47:03- You're in mourning. - Is it so obvious?
0:47:05 > 0:47:06Was it a woman?
0:47:08 > 0:47:10It's no sin to love a woman.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12I'm sworn to God.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15A man needs more than divine love to sustain him.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18And he shouldn't be punished for wanting it.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22Do you have a husband?
0:47:22 > 0:47:25- My husband is dead. - I'm sorry.
0:47:27 > 0:47:28Take off your clothes.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32I need to dress your wound.
0:47:53 > 0:47:55HE GASPS
0:48:03 > 0:48:05The pain's going already.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08It's extraordinary. The pain's going.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10It's a strong remedy.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17May I ask, how did your husband die?
0:48:17 > 0:48:20Men like you killed him.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22Men like me?
0:48:22 > 0:48:24Men of God.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03This church has not seen worship for a long while.
0:49:27 > 0:49:29The woman you went with...
0:49:29 > 0:49:31She dressed my wounds, nothing more.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Nothing here is what it seems.
0:49:34 > 0:49:37Are you gonna help us keep warm, girls?
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Child.
0:49:52 > 0:49:54I found it.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57- Where?- In the marsh.
0:50:04 > 0:50:08Every village we rode through had graveyards bursting.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11No corpse-filled pits, no burning bodies.
0:50:11 > 0:50:13We cannot charge them for having no disease.
0:50:13 > 0:50:15A party was sent before us,
0:50:15 > 0:50:17charged with the same task.
0:50:17 > 0:50:19Four men. None returned.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22They were led by a man like myself.
0:50:23 > 0:50:27This symbol is worn only by the bishop's envoy.
0:50:28 > 0:50:31The girl wore its twin.
0:51:03 > 0:51:05Please welcome our guests.
0:51:05 > 0:51:07What is ours is now yours.
0:51:07 > 0:51:10- To our guests. - ALL: To our guests.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12We also want to give thanks that we've been spared
0:51:12 > 0:51:15the terrible pestilence sweeping through the land.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24If I may?
0:51:24 > 0:51:26I would like to express our gratitude
0:51:26 > 0:51:28for your welcome.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Now let us pray.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40HE PRAYS IN LATIN
0:52:01 > 0:52:03- Amen.- Amen.
0:52:03 > 0:52:06I expected grace, not the entire Lord's Prayer.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18'Women outnumber men here.
0:52:18 > 0:52:21'Maybe that's why a woman speaks for them.'
0:52:21 > 0:52:22Do not be fooled.
0:52:24 > 0:52:27Evil lurks within this place, within these people.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43Osmund.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46I just need some air.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00We found her in the forest.
0:53:00 > 0:53:03She spoke of you before she died.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04Forgive me, Lord, but I'm angry.
0:54:08 > 0:54:10Why did you take her?
0:54:13 > 0:54:15Why did you take HER?
0:54:47 > 0:54:50Osmund, where were you?
0:54:53 > 0:54:55Why did you betray me?
0:54:58 > 0:54:59Why?
0:55:01 > 0:55:04Why did you betray me?
0:55:04 > 0:55:07Osmund, Osmund.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09Osmund.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14Osmund?
0:55:14 > 0:55:17- What troubles you? - That we are to become beasts.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20We must become more than beasts if we are to triumph here.
0:55:20 > 0:55:21I see no evil here,
0:55:21 > 0:55:25just a simple village that has not yet been ravaged.
0:55:25 > 0:55:27Grief has softened your heart, dulled your senses.
0:55:27 > 0:55:30Sir, how would you know? You have no heart to soften.
0:55:30 > 0:55:32I have known grief.
0:55:32 > 0:55:35My wife and child sit at God's side.
0:55:46 > 0:55:50Yes, this village is without the pestilence.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54But it is also without God.
0:55:56 > 0:55:59For this they will suffer.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29Are you shy?
0:56:33 > 0:56:36I am ugly and I am Christian.
0:56:37 > 0:56:40And that's not a good combination in here, hmm?
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Piss off.
0:57:00 > 0:57:02When will she be buried?
0:57:02 > 0:57:04Do not worry.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06I will take care of everything.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08- Can I see her again? - You will.
0:57:19 > 0:57:23You are going to tell me these men mean us harm,
0:57:23 > 0:57:26me in particular.
0:57:26 > 0:57:30I knew the moment I looked into Ulric's eyes.
0:57:30 > 0:57:32What I did not know was whose side you were on.
0:57:34 > 0:57:36Come with me.
0:57:39 > 0:57:41Come.
0:58:13 > 0:58:16What's going on?
0:58:16 > 0:58:17Something you should see.
0:58:42 > 0:58:43Now.
1:00:53 > 1:00:55What's wrong?
1:00:56 > 1:00:59Get off!
1:01:13 > 1:01:15Eat and drink.
1:01:19 > 1:01:21Huh?
1:01:30 > 1:01:33As a Christian you'll appreciate the concept of betrayal.
1:02:27 > 1:02:30Keep it together. Keep your head together.
1:02:30 > 1:02:32- What?- Keep it together. Keep it together.
1:02:32 > 1:02:34Keep your head together. Oof!
1:02:34 > 1:02:36Back, you bastard.
1:02:36 > 1:02:38Piss off! Piss off!
1:02:38 > 1:02:40You're not there, boy. Look at me, boy.
1:02:40 > 1:02:43Look at me! Not there, boy.
1:02:51 > 1:02:53Ahh!
1:03:05 > 1:03:07Come on, boy.
1:03:20 > 1:03:22Whore!
1:03:23 > 1:03:24Whore!
1:03:37 > 1:03:41These Christians arrived in our village
1:03:41 > 1:03:43claiming to seek refuge.
1:03:45 > 1:03:47This was their true purpose.
1:03:47 > 1:03:50They came uninvited to our home,
1:03:50 > 1:03:51bringing malice and hatred.
1:03:51 > 1:03:54These are God's gifts to us.
1:03:54 > 1:03:57These are his words...
1:03:57 > 1:04:00and these fine men his ambassadors.
1:04:01 > 1:04:0613 centuries of control and intimidation
1:04:06 > 1:04:09now gaze back at us through those bars.
1:04:41 > 1:04:43We do not relish suffering.
1:04:43 > 1:04:46We do what we must to keep us safe.
1:04:46 > 1:04:50The pestilence is a Christian disease,
1:04:50 > 1:04:54sent by your God to ravage his own people.
1:04:54 > 1:04:56By spilling your Christian blood,
1:04:56 > 1:04:58the pestilence is kept at bay.
1:04:58 > 1:05:00You and your flock,
1:05:00 > 1:05:02you believe this blasphemous filth?
1:05:02 > 1:05:04Kill us now, you bitch. Get it over with.
1:05:04 > 1:05:07I will offer you all the chance to live.
1:05:09 > 1:05:12Renounce your vengeful God and you will be free.
1:05:13 > 1:05:16Keep him and you will die.
1:05:16 > 1:05:18Not one man here will bow down to you.
1:05:20 > 1:05:22I will die first.
1:05:22 > 1:05:24Who wants to live?
1:05:27 > 1:05:31- You?- I will fight Ulric for the right to die first.
1:05:33 > 1:05:35Choose one.
1:06:03 > 1:06:05You WILL renounce.
1:06:08 > 1:06:12I look forward to shagging your mother's arse in hell.
1:06:13 > 1:06:15My mother's alive,
1:06:15 > 1:06:18and she doesn't relish the company of soldiers.
1:06:23 > 1:06:24Come on.
1:06:24 > 1:06:26Come on, then.
1:06:26 > 1:06:28- Die well, my friend. - Oh, I will.
1:06:28 > 1:06:31Come on.
1:06:31 > 1:06:34# Lady-love and I lived in joyous sin
1:06:34 > 1:06:38# And now my lady-love has got the blackened skin
1:06:38 > 1:06:42# Lady-love and I We bore a love so brave... #
1:06:42 > 1:06:43She did, yeah.
1:06:43 > 1:06:47# ..Now my lady-love rots in an early grave
1:06:47 > 1:06:51# My lady-love and I We lived in joyous sin... #
1:06:51 > 1:06:52Now you will learn about pain.
1:06:52 > 1:06:54No, there's nothing...
1:06:54 > 1:06:57nothing you can teach me about pain.
1:06:57 > 1:06:59HAMMERING
1:06:59 > 1:07:02HE SHRIEKS AND GROANS
1:07:02 > 1:07:04Don't look. Don't look.
1:07:04 > 1:07:06Hey, look away. Look away, boy.
1:07:11 > 1:07:14Blood of our blood
1:07:14 > 1:07:16Unholy trinity divine
1:07:16 > 1:07:21We offer this lamb for slaughtering down
1:07:21 > 1:07:25That death, not ours Shall stay afar
1:07:27 > 1:07:31For Christian blood Putrid and sick
1:07:31 > 1:07:35Into our marsh shall weep.
1:07:36 > 1:07:38HE GASPS
1:07:39 > 1:07:42HE SHOUTS AND SCREAMS
1:07:59 > 1:08:01You bitch. You bitch!

1:08:30 > 1:08:32No. No, you won't! You won't!
1:08:32 > 1:08:34You try to leave this cage,
1:08:34 > 1:08:36I'll kill you with my bare fucking hands.
1:08:36 > 1:08:38Mold, leave him. Leave him.
1:08:38 > 1:08:41Swire, listen to me.
1:08:41 > 1:08:43You renounce, you burn in hell.
1:08:43 > 1:08:45- I'll come back for you. - My friend,
1:08:45 > 1:08:47you'll burn in hell.
1:08:51 > 1:08:54They're going to kill you. Don't you go. No!
1:08:54 > 1:08:57I swear to God they're going to kill you.
1:08:59 > 1:09:01I swear to God...
1:09:01 > 1:09:03I swear to God they're going to kill you.
1:09:17 > 1:09:19God be gone.
1:09:19 > 1:09:21I do renounce thee eternally.
1:09:26 > 1:09:30God...be gone.
1:09:30 > 1:09:32I do renounce thee eternally.
1:09:32 > 1:09:35Holy Ghost be gone eternally.
1:09:35 > 1:09:39Holy Ghost...be gone eternally.
1:09:39 > 1:09:41Christ be gone eternally.
1:09:44 > 1:09:48Christ...be gone eternally.
1:09:48 > 1:09:51The false idols have been cast out.
1:09:53 > 1:09:54God is gone.
1:09:54 > 1:09:57The Holy Ghost is gone.
1:09:58 > 1:10:00Christ is gone.
1:10:03 > 1:10:07These men will escort you to the edge of the village.
1:10:07 > 1:10:09You are free to go.
1:10:17 > 1:10:18Where are we going?
1:10:18 > 1:10:21Where are we going? Where are we going?
1:10:21 > 1:10:24Where are we go... Agh, no!
1:10:36 > 1:10:39Osmund, you WILL renounce.
1:10:39 > 1:10:43Leave the boy. Leave the boy!
1:10:43 > 1:10:45Leave the boy and take a man.
1:10:46 > 1:10:51He's a boy! He's a boy!
1:10:51 > 1:10:53He's a boy!
1:10:58 > 1:11:03This monk came to restore our faith.
1:11:04 > 1:11:07Today, he will abandon his own.
1:11:07 > 1:11:10Inside that cottage is the woman he loves.
1:11:10 > 1:11:12I've brought her back to him.
1:11:12 > 1:11:15God, I'm dead. I'm in hell.
1:11:15 > 1:11:19No, Osmund. You left hell behind when you crossed our marsh.
1:11:20 > 1:11:23Come live here with us.
1:11:23 > 1:11:25Come live with the woman you love.
1:11:25 > 1:11:28We have no fury. We have no pestilence.
1:11:28 > 1:11:30We have no God.
1:11:30 > 1:11:32Why are you doing this to me?
1:11:33 > 1:11:35Because I like you.
1:11:40 > 1:11:43Renounce and you will be together.
1:11:44 > 1:11:46Go.
1:11:46 > 1:11:48Go!
1:11:51 > 1:11:56Osmund, Osmund, do not be tempted.
1:11:56 > 1:12:00It is not her. It is not her!
1:12:01 > 1:12:04Osmund! Osmund!
1:13:08 > 1:13:10Averill.
1:13:11 > 1:13:13Averill.
1:13:14 > 1:13:16- No, come here. - No, no.
1:13:16 > 1:13:19No. No, Averill.
1:13:19 > 1:13:21Shh, shh!
1:13:21 > 1:13:23SHE MUTTERS
1:13:31 > 1:13:34Come here, Averill. Shh.
1:13:34 > 1:13:37Averill, look at me.
1:13:37 > 1:13:39Shh.
1:13:46 > 1:13:50It's all right. It's all right.
1:13:50 > 1:13:53You're with God. You're with God.
1:13:55 > 1:13:58And very soon I'll be with you, I promise you.
1:13:59 > 1:14:01I promise you.
1:14:16 > 1:14:18I love you, Averill.
1:14:21 > 1:14:23HE PRAYS IN LATIN
1:14:27 > 1:14:29Amen. Amen.
1:14:29 > 1:14:31SHE GASPS
1:15:46 > 1:15:48Averill is with God...
1:15:50 > 1:15:52..and so am I.
1:15:56 > 1:15:59This shows how cruel they are.
1:15:59 > 1:16:02Even the ones they love are slaughtered in God's name.
1:16:05 > 1:16:08Osmund, Osmund!
1:16:08 > 1:16:09Ahh!
1:16:11 > 1:16:13The boy will not renounce.
1:16:13 > 1:16:15He will not renounce!
1:16:15 > 1:16:19You have no power here. You have no power here.
1:16:21 > 1:16:24Hob! Crucify them all.
1:16:24 > 1:16:28You cannot tear a true man of God away from his faith.
1:16:28 > 1:16:32I do not fear you or your pagan lapdog.
1:16:33 > 1:16:36You finished?
1:16:36 > 1:16:38Bring out the horses.
1:16:49 > 1:16:53Crucify us and you shall be spared.
1:16:55 > 1:16:57That is the creed of your witch.
1:16:57 > 1:17:00You came to our lands bringing death.
1:17:00 > 1:17:03For once you speak the truth -
1:17:03 > 1:17:05we came bringing death.
1:17:05 > 1:17:07She cannot protect you
1:17:07 > 1:17:10from God's wrath.
1:17:10 > 1:17:13Repent before it is too late.
1:17:13 > 1:17:14WHIP CRACKS
1:17:14 > 1:17:17Move it! Repent!
1:17:18 > 1:17:21HE GROANS
1:17:28 > 1:17:31ROPES CREAK
1:17:32 > 1:17:34You WILL renounce.
1:17:35 > 1:17:37Never.
1:17:37 > 1:17:40HE GROANS
1:17:41 > 1:17:44No! No!
1:17:47 > 1:17:50Never.
1:17:50 > 1:17:52HE GROANS
1:18:02 > 1:18:05- Renounce. - No!
1:18:07 > 1:18:08Never.
1:18:11 > 1:18:13No!
1:18:13 > 1:18:16Ahh! Stop!
1:18:29 > 1:18:31Let me see the boy.
1:18:52 > 1:18:54You did well.
1:18:57 > 1:19:00Come on. Come on, you...
1:19:02 > 1:19:05They will all die by God's hand.
1:19:08 > 1:19:11Open my shirt.
1:19:15 > 1:19:17Open my shirt.
1:19:23 > 1:19:25CROWD GASPS
1:19:34 > 1:19:35I am Death.
1:19:37 > 1:19:39Vengeance is mine.
1:19:41 > 1:19:45God's fury rains down on you!
1:19:45 > 1:19:47God is restored.
1:19:53 > 1:19:54Move it, yah!
1:19:54 > 1:19:55Agh!
1:19:55 > 1:19:57CROWD SCREAMS
1:20:37 > 1:20:39Where are you?!
1:20:55 > 1:20:58- No! - Amen.
1:20:58 > 1:20:59No!
1:22:24 > 1:22:26Hell awaits you with open arms.
1:22:26 > 1:22:29- There is no hell. - Well, heaven doesn't want you.
1:22:29 > 1:22:33- There is no heaven. - Why?
1:22:33 > 1:22:35Why follow her?
1:22:35 > 1:22:38Because she was beautiful...
1:22:38 > 1:22:40and real.
1:22:40 > 1:22:44THIS is real.
1:22:54 > 1:22:58There is no God.
1:23:03 > 1:23:05Where are you?
1:23:17 > 1:23:19Where are you?
1:23:21 > 1:23:25Thou shall not kill, remember?
1:23:27 > 1:23:29Remember?
1:23:29 > 1:23:31Averill was in purgatory!
1:23:31 > 1:23:34Perhaps in your twisted mind.
1:23:34 > 1:23:38Did you never think that maybe Averill was never dead?
1:23:40 > 1:23:44We found her in the forest, injured but very much alive.
1:23:44 > 1:23:46No, that's not true.
1:23:46 > 1:23:48Yes, Osmund, Averill was never dead.
1:23:48 > 1:23:50She was alive.
1:23:51 > 1:23:54I drugged her.
1:23:54 > 1:23:56- I drugged her. - No.
1:24:02 > 1:24:04No, Averill.
1:24:04 > 1:24:06No, no, no.
1:24:07 > 1:24:11So wh...why would... why would you do that?
1:24:11 > 1:24:12Why would you bury her?
1:24:12 > 1:24:15Because people need miracles
1:24:15 > 1:24:19and they worship the miracle makers, whoever they might be.
1:24:23 > 1:24:26The people in this village believed in me...
1:24:26 > 1:24:27and so did you.
1:24:27 > 1:24:30Averill was dead!
1:24:30 > 1:24:32You killed her.
1:24:34 > 1:24:36Averill was dead.
1:24:38 > 1:24:41Averill was...
1:24:43 > 1:24:45She was dead.
1:24:51 > 1:24:53Bring her back!
1:24:55 > 1:24:59I beg you, bring her back!
1:24:59 > 1:25:02No, I can't.
1:25:02 > 1:25:05Pray to your God. See what he can do.
1:25:12 > 1:25:14Averill was...
1:25:15 > 1:25:18She was dead.
1:25:42 > 1:25:45'There's nothing beautiful or uplifting
1:25:45 > 1:25:47'in returning people to God.
1:25:50 > 1:25:53'There's no place in heaven for those who kill.
1:25:55 > 1:25:59'The pestilence claimed no higher purpose.
1:25:59 > 1:26:03'And those who had survived our swords that day
1:26:03 > 1:26:05'soon fell foul of its scythe.
1:26:07 > 1:26:10'They were not protected by the witch.
1:26:10 > 1:26:13'They were simply remote.
1:26:13 > 1:26:17'And once the pestilence crossed their marsh,
1:26:17 > 1:26:19'it killed them too.'
1:26:28 > 1:26:30Whoa, whoa.
1:26:39 > 1:26:42Osmund. Osmund.
1:26:45 > 1:26:47We're here.
1:27:00 > 1:27:02Osmund.
1:27:05 > 1:27:09That you've returned safe is a miracle.
1:27:10 > 1:27:12Who is that?
1:27:12 > 1:27:15He's the necromancer that I'll be delivering to the bishop.
1:27:17 > 1:27:19Here. That's it.
1:27:28 > 1:27:32- How many of you are left? - Enough.
1:27:34 > 1:27:36Look after him.
1:27:36 > 1:27:38There's no need.
1:27:39 > 1:27:41He's back with God.
1:28:02 > 1:28:04'I never saw him again,
1:28:04 > 1:28:08'but I heard stories,
1:28:08 > 1:28:11'dark stories,
1:28:11 > 1:28:13'that in the years that followed
1:28:13 > 1:28:16'Osmund's heart turned cold,
1:28:16 > 1:28:21'that in the shadow of his grief he found hate,
1:28:21 > 1:28:24'and that in God's name he took up the sword
1:28:24 > 1:28:28'and vengeance became his creed.'
1:28:33 > 1:28:35Can I help you?
1:28:43 > 1:28:44Please.
1:28:52 > 1:28:54Please.
1:28:54 > 1:28:55Please...
1:28:58 > 1:29:01I've done nothing wrong.
1:29:02 > 1:29:04Please.
1:29:09 > 1:29:11You have the wrong woman.
1:29:14 > 1:29:16I want a confession and I want her alive.
1:29:24 > 1:29:27I'm not a witch.
1:29:40 > 1:29:41Please.
1:29:46 > 1:29:48BONES CRUNCH
1:29:48 > 1:29:49SHE SCREAMS
1:29:59 > 1:30:01Osmund, she won't confess.
1:30:02 > 1:30:05Are you sure she's a witch?
1:30:11 > 1:30:13Where is she?
1:30:20 > 1:30:22'Some say he found the witch
1:30:22 > 1:30:25'and that he tortured her and burned her.
1:30:29 > 1:30:32'Others say it was never her.
1:30:34 > 1:30:37'It was only her guilt he saw
1:30:37 > 1:30:39'in the eyes of the accused.'
1:30:54 > 1:30:57Please, stop. No, no!
1:30:57 > 1:30:59SHE SCREAMS
1:31:04 > 1:31:08'I'd like to think that he found peace,
1:31:08 > 1:31:12'that he continued seeing beauty in the world,
1:31:12 > 1:31:14'goodness.'
