if I don't miss.

If this is imperial justice, then cut

off my head as well!

I too have taken down castle gates,

I too have drunk the wine

of Hungarian nobles.

I too have taken under my abode

Horea, Closca and Crisan,

I too have baptized landowners as

serfs, cut off my head!

If things are as you say, you will be

punished, pater.

But not before you are tried.

Pereat mundus, fiiat justitiam.

You too are a Hungarian noble,

Count lankovici!

You cannot impart justice between

us and Hungarians.

Nemo esse judex in sua causa potest!

I thought you were an orthodox, pater.

How is it that you speak Latin?

I learnt it from my forefathers, Count.

Splendid answer.

The window from your Excellency's

carriage has been replaced.

The fire was so comfortable.

Malens suada frigor.

Excellency...

- Excellency, I beg your forgiveness...

- I was not asleep, Excellency.

Have the leaders been apprehended? Was

Horea caught?

Not yet. But those willing to capture

them have arrived.

Light the candles, lord secretary.

Bring them forth so I may inspect them.

He is Anton Melzer, ranger of the

imperial woods, robbed by the rebels.

And they are former rebels that have

contrived, the brothers Maties...

We'd best keep names under

discretion's veil.

I assume they must redeem

for petty sins...

The hell they are petty!

Begging your Excellency's pardon.

This one, Maties loan, took everything

from my home.

e destroyed every thing he couldn't

carry.

And who swears for their new loyalty?

I do.

His Eminence, Bishop Ghideon

Nichitici. I am pleased, pleased indeed.

His Majesty sends gracious thanks for

the precious help you gave at the truce.

I serve the cause of my lambs

as I see fit.

The Romanian people have not acquired

patience.

This long-oppressed race cannot be

lifted through riots and violence,

but through patient

and industrious education.

But can the Romanian peasant, the

serf, endure?

What must he be patient for? Pity and

kindness? Whose?

And will the heart of landowners

be tamed by industrious education?

Get out, lord secretary.

From now on, you will ride with the

driver.

He is Romanian.

His father and two of his uncles were

decapitated at Deva without trial.

Otherwise, he is a valuable secretary.

Eminent Nichitici, I fear that our

holy empire

is a cauldron uselessly and

dangerously boiling

incompatible passions, interests and

people.

Horea is the rebellious one.

That is why I touched the hearts of

those peasants

so they may help with his capture.

My heart grows more tired than before.

Why did you make peace

with them near Tiber?

Why did you accept their peace?

Because I did not receive your letter
