Beowulf Page #4

Sweet dreams, my love.

Feel it- the life your husband

put in my belly.

It's almost finished,

my love.

It's almost finished, my love.

Don't be afraid.

You should be dead.

Many times.

Explain.

I'm a quick healer.

- Not good enough.

- That's all I can say.

Because you're afraid

the truth will send me running?

From what

I've seen of you, no.

But because there is no time.

Enjoying the view?

A remarkable recovery.

It wasn't as bad as it looked.

We all have our secrets, I suppose.

Tell me,

if a man fights

a creature of evil,

then he cannot be evil himself,

can he?

If you're looking for absolution,

you're asking the wrong man.

Whoever you are,

whatever you are,

I thank you for your help.

Why...

"not you"?

You scared the hell out of me.

I need you to make me something,

and I need it now.

Yeah, what is it?

I'll show you. But no mistakes.

All right, no sweat.

This is the time...

it matters.

How's your leg?

My injuries don't heal

as well as yours.

I'll be little help like this.

One day you'll have to

teach me your trick.

What can I do?

Nothing.

It'll be over tonight?

Yes, one way or another.

It's time.

It will come for me,

but I will know where

it's coming from and when.

There's one thing

you should know about Nivri.

His family is very wealthy,

very rich.

The marriage was arranged

by Hrothgar, not Kyra's choice.

He was a sadist and a pig.

He treated her badly, very badly.

- But you didn't kill him?

- No, but I tried.

I challenged the bastard to a fight,

but Hrothgar made me back off.

You know, don't you?

She thinks of me... as a brother.

That's all I could ever be.

I've survived a lot of pain.

- Warriors do.

- Yeah.

But nothing...

to compare with that.

End its miserable life...

tonight.

- Is it done?

- Yep.

- Have you tested it?

- Yeah. It works fine. Works great.

Most of the time.

No, it's fine. It's fine.

It's fine. Hey, listen. Are you

gonna take this beast thing or not?

You don't want me

to ruin the surprise.

Waking up in the morning

is surprise enough.

Beowulf.

Don't do this.

We all do what we have to do.

You know that well, I think.

Is that the knife

you used on your husband?

What are you?

Secrets are hard to keep.

It was night.

He'd been drinking as usual.

He wanted me.

I refused.

He started to beat me.

So I stabbed him...

over...

and over.

And the whole time...

he just stood there...

looking surprised.

Now he's come back to kill us,

one by one,

saving me for the last.

The beast is not your husband.

What makes you so sure?

Ghosts don't eat people.

This is not your doing.

If someone is to blame,

it's not you.

Maybe not for the first strike,
