Being Human Page #4

Uh...

Thank you, gentlemen.

I will be capable

of taking care

of my affairs tonight

without your help.

Thank Cyprian

for his kind thought.

We're spending the night

at the house of Nepos

across the street.

Don't hesitate to

send your man for us.

We're anxious that things

go well for you.

Thank you.

Good night.

We'll call in the morning.

Good night.

Thank you.

He looks like the kind

that's going to need some help.

You ever killed before?

Just a couple of chickens.

It's not much different.

Use a thin blade, but long.

Get it in deep, the heart.

Go between the ribs.

Or go in from the back,

any place he'll let you.

Getting it out's not

as easy as you'd think.

You have to twist to get

over the stickiness.

If it gets messy,

you come and get us.

If we're going to die,

can I die a free man?

I don't want to die a slave.

Very well, Hector, you're free.

I don't know the exact words.

I've never done it before.

Can you put that in writing

so when they find me

in the morning,

they'll know I died a free man?

Very well.

It's a nice thought.

You were right to ask.

Thank you.

Well, freed man, let's do it.

What do you want me to do?

Nothing.

Not--not to me.

I have to do it first.

You understand?

I understand.

And then you.

No. Oh. Oh. Oh.

If I don't succeed...

Stop it, Hector.

Then you...

You must help me.

Oh.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Aah! Aah! Aah!

I can't do it!

I can't!

[crying]

I can't!

Aah!

I did it.

On the stairs I did it.

It hurts.

It stings.

This is hopeless.

Help me.

You've done it.

Lie down.

Lie down.

Better?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Close your eyes.

You did it.

You do it now, Hector.

Be still.

Hurry!

Do it.

Do it.

You promised.

I'll need the knife.

Take it.

Do it, Hector.

Oh!

Take it, Hector.

Take it, take it.

Do it.

Do it.

Do it.

Do it.

Do it.

Do it.

And so...

wearing his master's cloak,

best foot forward

in a dead man's shoes,

the man walked out

into his own story...

Come on.

A free man.

The captain wants to see you.

Up there.

But that is another story.

[priest] We want to praise god

because we live

in this ultimate age

when all things are done.

O.K., this man...

he'd been through the wars,

and he'd been traveling a long time

through strange lands,

but he was on his way home.

[priest] All god's chosen

gathered in paradise.

I struggle against it.

I will not join myself

carnally with any woman.

I will carry my unspilt seed

from this world to the next,

as should every man.

I've written a small treatise

in favor of virginity, sister.

We could discuss it later,

if you like.

What are you talking about?

It's simple, brother.

If we cease carnal union entirely,
