I did it all wrong, I should've cut off her head,
Or tied her to a stake,
I'm an idiot, That's how you do it,
A witch, a stake, job done,
Okay, the girl is a goat,
What are you doing?
Healing you,
You can save me, but I won't say where she is,
Don't bother, I heard you,
It's a waste of time,
She could already be dead,
You love her, don't you?
Come on, get up,
-We're going, -Where to?
Ségur,
You really think I'd help you slit her throat?
Yes,
NÉRO THE ASSASSIN
Don't worry,
You're safe with me,
Brother Penance took the bait,
He accepts your surrender,
All we have to do is set the trap,
Thank you, Consul, Ségur is in your debt,
Yes,
Now, before the archbishop returns to his branding iron,
I'd like a word with my daughter,
-I don't know where this witch talk… -She told me everything,
Hello, Father,
I'm happy to see you,
Believe it or not, I was afraid for you,
Afraid for me or of me?
What did you tell them?
The truth,
That you had my fiancé killed and I wanted revenge,
You wanted me dead?
Yes, but I found a better way,
You will live,
But I'll make you pay a hundredfold for Tancrède's death,
Forget about your mines for a start,
I won't stop there,
You will lose everything,
And Néro?
He is dead,
I left him to hang,
This trip has done you good,
Now, listen, Forget this marriage and return to Lamartine,
You are in danger here,
Stop, Father,
You have lost,
No, you don't understand, Penance will win,
He'll kill the royal family, starting with you,
I thought your plan was to kill him,
I ask only one thing,
Wait before marrying the prince, See what happens,
On the contrary, I shall marry as soon as possible,
Don't say that's Néro's girl,
What is it to you?
You fool! If they find out, you'll be burnt,
As will you,
So I'm not worried,
I know her secret is safe with you,
But…
Sit down,
Stop here,
Thank you,
Here, Drink,
I'm sorry, Horace,
It's fine,
I won't make it,
-Why is God punishing me? -No,
God doesn't punish us,
He wants us to overcome our trials,
God does not hold this child's destiny, You do,
And you,
And I,
Come, get up, Let's go,
When we get to Ségur, I will have the archbishop bless my child,
And I will tell him how God put you on our path,
This way,
I'm thirsty,
That's right,
Take advantage of my bindings, but you will make a mistake and then…
You won't succeed,
At what?
Killing me,
You can read my mind?
Like an open book,
You're lying,
Keep moving,
What am I thinking now?
Think nothing…
Nothing,
Wrong,
If you say so, Keep moving,
Fuck off,
I heard that too,
I hoped you would,
Will we die here?
No,
We rest,
Then we keep going,
-Yes, -Come,
I shall pray to God,
I need a knife,
You don't need a knife here, You are just like your father,
Sorry, I didn't mean to,
-He got what he deserved, -Exactly,
Selfish bastard,
He only wanted to save himself with his exorcist,
Exactly,
A selfish bastard,
Your Highness,
Your Grace,
Your Grace, allow me to introduce my lady-in-waiting, Perla de Vances,
The Duke of Vances' daughter,
Are you comfortable?
No, I find it small and ugly,
I see,
But I imagine you'll change all that,
What did you expect? The bigger the dowry, the more cumbersome the bride,
I will have some water,
You haven't come here to welcome me,
-Have you? -No,
Indeed,
I'd like to understand,
You accuse your father, and suddenly, you do not,
I explained to the prince,
I heard, Yes,
But I know your father conspired with a witch,
A witch who seeks the same person as I,
And whom do you seek?
The Devil's last descendant,
Here?
Here,
And you, young lady…
Do you know something?
She's useless, but I love her,
Do not worry, Perla,
There is no devil spawn in Ségur,
I hope, my lady,
that you are well aware that anyone who withholds information
will be deemed an accomplice
and burnt in public,
Even the Princess of Ségur,
Naturally,
Your Grace, thank you for your welcome,
I won't keep you,
I imagine you are very busy with my wedding preparations,
You are indeed your father's daughter,
I'm worse,
What are you doing?
Nothing, I'm hungry, that's all,
What are you doing?
What?
Nothing, just…
I'm usually addressed by my title,
-Oh, right, -But it's fine,
Please, continue, I like it,
Can you use that?
Kind of,
A lady who fights with a knife is most unusual,
-Who taught you? -My father,
But he is dead,
I'm sorry,
Don't be, He was rotten,
How can you say that?
He abandoned me at birth,
stabbed me,
and sold my mother for a horse,
He was a duke, was he not?
Yes, a massive "dukehead,"
I bet this knife hurts more than a fork,
-Kill me and you'll never find the monk, -Why would I need him?
Only he can enter the holy citadel of Ségur,
Neither of us can pass those gates,
He can, He is the key to getting your daughter back,
You'll be fine,
How's it going?
What are you doing with her?
She found you,
Have you lost your mind?
Who is she?
She's a witch,
Perla is in Ségur, You'll help me,
-Perla is in Ségur? -Yes, so help me,
No,
No, Néro, No,
You must be pleased,
What do you think? That I raised her for 14 years without loving her?
As you wish,
-What are you doing? -If you won't help me, she will,
Stop! This is madness!
-So help me! -Stop!
Help me!
Help me and I'll kill her,
Look, I have her witch's knife,
I can kill her for good,
Then we slice her up, burn her, and scatter her ashes,
Only she can summon the demon through Perla,
Without her, Perla will be safe, The world will be at peace,
Just help me reach the citadel,
And Azel?
Who?
I promised to help Azel,
Not my problem,
We must take her to Ségur, She won't make it alone,
-Who gives a damn? -We do!
I won't have it, Néro! What have you become? She is with child!
I don't need to tell you what happens to her if we leave her here,
Fine, I'll kill the witch and we'll go, Come on,
-We have to go, -Horace?
-Do you have any water? -No, sorry,
She'll die without water,
I can find water,
Bullshit,
She's trying to buy time,
She's screwing with us,
I'll kill her and we'll go,
It's for the best, even for Azel, We might find water on the way,
You have to dig,
Don't bother, You won't find anything,
I'd be quicker with your help,
That's what she wants,
-I can dig too, -Shut up,
Look!
Get back,
Don't, It's a trap,
It's just water,
And my chain was just a chain,
How did you know where to dig?
-Why talk to her? -Tell me,
In times past, you'd have known too,
-Meaning? -Don't listen to her,
-But Azel needs water, -If you care for her, don't give her that,
Are you alright?
Very good,
Azel,
I have water,
Water,
Where did you find it?
A spring nearby,
I know what you're doing,
Pretending to be the good guy, It won't work on me,
I'm glad to see you alive, my lady,
As am I, Lothar,
Even if you were heavy-handed,
I know you are hard-headed,
Zineb is willing to testify against your father
for Tancrède's murder,
We don't need Néro to convict him,
I changed my mind, Lothar,
I am to wed,
Seize them,
I'll free them after my wedding,
Like father, like daughter,
Impressive, isn't it?
Not afraid of falling?
Are you?
You really are his child,
I was, He's dead,
I know,
You don't seem too upset,
But my daughter,
do you care for her?
Then you must leave, You are a danger to her,
Don't look at me like that, You know why,
Do you believe it? That I can bring back the Devil?
Disappear,
Do us all a favour,
We have to go, Azel,
I'll kill the witch,
Thanks for the water…
Sit down,
We need to talk,
If I wanted you dead, you would be,
Sit,
Perla isn't the Devil's last descendant,
Then why look for her?
She must save the world,
Can't you see the land is dying?
What do you think?
That God is punishing us?
That it's the seven plagues? And the Devil is about to show up?
It's all lies,
The Devil doesn't exist,
The Church invented it to single out its enemies,
So Perla won't end the world?
No,
But the Church will,
They slaughtered all the healers,
The shamans,
The Druids,
The witches,
Anyone who practised magic,
Since magic left this world, the planet has been dying,
It needs a rebirth ritual,
In which Perla is sacrificed,
With this dagger,
That's ridiculous,
Lord, forgive her sins,
Eternal rest grant unto her,
And let perpetual light shine upon her,
Can you help?
-No, -Yes,
You can,
I've seen you heal,
It's complicated,
It is not! Save her, end of story,
If I do, he'll find us,
Who? The bastard who wants Perla dead?
-I can't fight him, -I'll help you,
He's too powerful,
He wants Perla dead, I have to kill him, sooner or later,
Néro,
it's one life,
In the name of Jesus Christ…
Move aside,
-What's she doing? -Trying to save you,
No, don't let her! Horace, stop her!
She's a demon!
Horace, for pity's sake, stop her!
-Breathe, Azel! -Please, Horace,
Don't let her, She's the Devil!
Why are you letting her do this?
She will live,
He's coming,
How do we kill him?
With this,
Azel, it's a boy, a healthy baby boy,
Thank you,
Doesn't look very Catholic, Thoughts?
He was one of us,
He chose to serve the Church,
Will you live?
I don't know,
Why my daughter?
If she's not the Devil's spawn, then whose is she?
Mine,
So, you're my grandma?
How old are you?
Over 800 years old,
You want to sacrifice your great-great-great-granddaughter?
I don't want to,
I must,
I won't let you,
I know,
I'll get Azel, We should go,
Come on,
Azel,
We have to go, Come,
Azel,
You…
You killed your son?
You killed your own child,
How could you?
How could you do this?
It was you,
You killed him,
You let that demon defile us,
You let her do it,
You let her deliver my son,
You damned us,
And now, he is lost to God,
You are monsters,
And you will all die in Hell,
Horace,
Horace, come,
Come,
See where your Church's lies lead?
You can do nothing more for her, but you can still save Perla,
Let's go find her,
Curse you!
Curse you all!
You don't serve God, monk!
You serve the Devil!
The Devil!
Curse you all!
NÉRO THE ASSASSIN
