Season Of The Witch Page #3

Condition accepted.

If I were to release you, however,

and you attempt to flee...

Such thoughts are beneath you, sir.

I swear by all the saints,

may they strike me dead, were I to lie.

They would have to

get in line behind me.

Do we understand each other?

DEBELZAQ:
The witch is unconscious.

She was given a powerful sedative

in her food last night.

Open the cell.

We'll be removing the witch

for transport.

She's just a girl.

Don't be deceived.

BEHMEN:
Felson!

Hold her! Hold her!

The sooner we get her

to Severac, the better!

Now she's sedated.

Who's that?

- The witch.

- Witch?

Nobody said anything about a witch.

Why did you think we were

going to Severac, to sell trinkets?

- WOMAN:
God in heaven...

- MAN:
Kill the witch!

WOMAN:
You gave us this affliction!

MAN:
You brought

the wrath of God upon us!

Take the witch out of our midsts,

and take the plague with you!

She's watching me.

Put your mind on something else.

She's trying to frighten you.

It's working.

How did you come upon this girl?

She was found just outside

of Marburg, wandering.

Muttering strange things,

words no one could understand.

This makes her a witch?

No, but it's a sign.

Within a fortnight of her arrival,

the plague had swept over us.

It was the same

for every town she passed.

There was no talk of such a girl

passing through my village.

Yet, the plague came.

She's stronger than she looks.

Do you believe she's a witch?

You felt her strength.

Would you say it was that of a girl?

I've seen girls destroy men

without lifting a finger.

How many times do we need to go over

this? We were in France, for God's sake.

The things she did in the bed chamber.

- She robbed you of a year's wages.

- Yes, but...

...she gave me so much in return.

Look at us. Barely a month out of

service to the Church and here we are...

...deserters in service to the Church.

You know we're being followed.

Let's give him a royal welcome.

Come off the horse.

Who are you?

Why are you following us?

FELSON:
Hyah!

I asked you a question, boy.

He's an altar boy

in service to the cardinal.

My name's Kay,

and my father was a knight.

Jurand of Vollenbad, he also fought at

Imbros, perhaps you've heard his name?

- What do you want?

- I want to come with you to Severac.

Easy, boy.

To pledge myself to your service.

In exchange for which I ask your word

that you will vouch for me

upon our return,

so that I may be knighted.

The services of an altar boy.

I feel safer already.

I would have you know

I've ridden in the lists twice.

And won flags for valor.

This isn't a tournament, boy.

Go back to your mother.

This is a free road, old man.
