Tartarus Page #4

Synopsis: Austria-Hungary 1813: Jacob and Veith return home from the Napoleonic war. Their road leads to the remote mountain village Pahlbach. The two newcomers encounter a frosty reception - and as the night has barely passed, they already understand why: In the woods around the village a strange evil is brewing mischief. Unknown creatures of extraordinary violence and cunning, lure the men into the woods and make a silent demand: In order to further propagate, the beasts claim women's bodies. While Jacob refuses immediately and calls out the fight, Veith is still uncertain: The enemy appears to overpowering. Maybe they should try to come to terms. Progressing events put the courage and humanity of the two men to the test and threaten to shatter their friendship. But Jacob Veith and are not the only ones to whom the demand was made. The battle lines are hardening - and in a single bloody night, the future of the whole place is at stake ...

then maybe this is the place

for you to get better.

Maybe everything will quiet

down again here, and then...

you don't have to go anywhere else.

Do you believe that?

Yes, I do.

You just have to make sure

that peace is restored.

A test, Veith.

A test?

We believed they were animals.

I think they take us for animals, too.

An enemy pack.

So they observe us.

Drag a corpse to our doorstep,

to see how we treat our dead.

And they leave us a riddle, some

object, to test our intelligence.

We stuck the two pieces together, Veith.

We passed the test.

Now they believe we are capable of

serving them. Do you understand?

What is there to understand?

How much they underestimate us.

Where have you been the whole day?

YOU want to go back up there!

And we have nothing working in our favor!

You know this is the only way

to get to them. You know it!

Don't you dare touch her!

Who?

A girl from another village. I don't know.

How did you pick her, Veith?

Did you go on sympathy again?

Did you pick someone ugly,

for she'd be expandable?

How you did it, Veith?

I didn't pick her at all!

She was the first that came my way!

This is not something

I'm going to think through, Jakob!

What do you take me for?

I pulled a bag over her head

and took her with me.

I didn't even look at her face.

A mother?

She was alone.

Where will you go

with all your damn weapons, Jakob?

Look at me when I'm talking to you!

Where do want to go

with your goddamn weapons!

Where do you think I want to go, Veith?

I want to go where those beasts live!

Then we need the woman.

But I don't want to

lose the woman, Veith!

We fill that with dye.

We bind it to the woman.

Once the beasts come, we tear

it up and follow the trace.

We find them! We shoot them to sh*t!

And we're done!

If we lose that woman too, Jakob,

I'll shoot you to sh*t.

Veith!

Veith!

Veith!

The woman... the woman.

Morning!

How many, Veith? How many?

What are you talking about?

They tear them up, Veith.

They impregnate them and use them

as hatcheries. They eat their flesh.

- You've been where they live.

- Yes. And there were dozens of women.

Not two, Veith. Dozens.

The little waitress from

the tavern was there as well.

When did you drag her up there,

you a**hole?

Is that what you've been doing

all this time, huh?

I have no idea

what you are talking about.

Liar!

What are you doing?

Go to your room, Mirabell.

And stay there.

- Heinrich?

- I'm serious, sister.

It's best if you leave, Mirabell.

You didn't ask any questions.

When we brought the wounded gypsy to you.

You immediately knew what happened.

I don't know what they are.

I don't dare to think about it.
