Horea Page #4

---

If you are so kind as to show them! So

that all things may be in order!

Here, old man,

here are the letters!

So you may seek order in

peace of mind!

I cannot read.

You are too patient, Horea!

We must!

We must have patience until we lose it

all.

Perhaps someone else can read!

I can read!

I, the emperor Josef, seeing that all

my orders in favor of the peasants

have been kept from them by the

Hungarian nobles and their servants...

...and by their servants...

They not only ignore them, but did the

opposite of what I ordered,

I, emperor Josef.

For this reasons, I command you to

rebel and do away with them,

if you love me and if you love

yourselves!

But we cannot do it without the

emperor's permission, can we?

Need we hear from the emperor that we

are hungry and mocked,

that we endure as fools do,

that we are many and that Hungarians

nobles live fully.

Do we need the emperor to tell us

that?

Come!

Leave me or I will kill you!

The children!

What would they want with the

children?

The children did them no harm!

You mad woman! Don't you see it's us

they want to kill? We'll find them!

Mother, what game shall we play?

My angels, my lambs!

Shall we shoot them?

They'll eat us alive!

What is the matter, Horea?

No matter, I'm just watching

and learning.

You're talking in parables again.

There are no parables here.

I'm trying to learn people's hearts.

Now, have you stopped again? You've

reached their gates and came to a halt?

Are you scared even of gates?

This is what I wanted to see.

What do you say, father? Are you

pleased with me?

You've grown up and slimmed down.

Of course, with all the walking from

one village to another.

- I am content with your shooting.

- I am too.

They don't pay me to die.

Wait, good folks! I'll open the gates

for you!

Don't bother! I am Boz Grigor!

Come in, brothers!

Wait! Come here, brother! You were my

brother and you beat me!

We have the same mother and father

and you tortured me!

I was doing my job, brother!

As I am doing mine!

May God not rest your soul!

What are you doing?

Get away from there!

I'll only speak to your leader, Horea!

Which one of you is Horea?

Which one do you think?

Him.

Say what is on your mind!

You are the village judge.

How did you defend the people?

Are you looking for the nobles?

You won't find them! ou can't!

If I take you to them,

will you spare me?

What you done so you may

\be forgiven for?

They built a hiding place years ago,

when they learnt that

our beloved and precious Horea went

to see the emperor.

Stop sniveling and tell us

where they are!

Come with me, brothers, and we will

drink their souls!

Look there!

You know what makes me wonder?

The fact that people like you, like me

were afraid of people like them...

who would sell their masters to us so

we may kill them!

One like him, a nobody!

Horea and Closca have been

apprehended.

They are being taken to Alba lulia,

through Slatna, heavily guarded.

They've been caught! They're in

chains!

Take me to Alba lulia! I want to see him

in torment, humiliated!

- I beg you, Count!

- These people understand nothing!

Cum victum arma povit et victor decet

odia de pove

Agnes, calm yourself.

They haven't set their arms.

And their hatred will never be

quenched.

Good day, fair lady.

Mother, when is it time?

I'll tell you when.

Madam, I bow to you.

It's harder to obtain the authorization to

see Horea in chains

than it is to see his Majesty himself!

Still, how did you do it?

What a naive question!

Allow me to escort you.

Behind these gates through which you

passed is imprisoned Closca lon.

Do you wish to see him?

No! I want to see Horea!

Madam, sir, the orders are formal

regarding the search

of those who wish to see the criminals.

The corporal, who is higher in rank,

has done me the great favor

of allowing me to search you.

Forgive me.

You don't think we've come here to put

him out of his misery.

Sweet children!

Pity! They would've enjoyed it!

This way!

Look at me!

Madam, any dialogue with

the rebel is forbidden.

Now what?

We'll try you!

Try them, Horea!

I don't know these people! They were

never my masters!

They were yours! You try them!

But is the emperor's command?

That we should do what we see fit!

Kill them!

Kill every last one of them!

What is your name?

Irimia! They call me son of Oiste!

Kill them!

If you command me to kill them,

I'll do it!

I did not command anything,

it was you who shouted! Kill them.

Start with the infants.

See, now? Then, let them go!

No! Never!

They cannot go unpunished!

It isn't fair!

But how should we punish them?

You've lived long. You should know!

In my opinion, the biggest punishment

for us is life!

Then why don't you punish them with a

life such as yours?

Come! Let's go!

Come! Don't look that way.

And leave the boy with me until you set

your home straight.

He's young and bears no fault.

Come along, little girl.

In aunt Saveta's poor home

you'll starve to death.

What's your name, dear?

lldiko. Mom, can I go with auntie?

Go, dear, go with aunt Mary.

I won't forget this.

Yes, you will, sir.

Come, children, you must be hungry.

I'll be there when you die.

Countess, any discussion with the

rebel is forbidden.

Why don't you sit at the table?

Thank you, I'm fine here.

Don't mind my asking, but why are you

staying here for the night?

The nobles' castle is empty.

People slew their animals and

are now frying them.

That is not why I lead them, I don't

shed blood to take the nobles' place.

This is one, Candea Alexa.

That's his name.

Romanian like us.

But the old Hungarian paid for

his school and he's been brainwashed.

He calls himself Kendi Sandor.

You said you needed an

educated man, there he is!

Is he any good or should we hang him?

The storm of the rage is coming, the

sacred and eternal!

You are Hercules and the mighty

scythe is the symbol...

Can you write?

Latin, Hungarian, German and, of

course, Romanian,

for I myself am one, your Excellency.

Give him a horse!

I've never been to those places.

Question 23. How did you dare deceive

the people

by telling them the riot was

ordered by the emperor?

I've never said such words.

Question 24.

Why did you seek to kill Domeneal

Cernanski-Gabrel

si Aron Alexander in Mosca village?

I have never heard those names before.

Bring in the imperial judge Craciun

Resiga and the witnesses.

Do you know this man

called Closca lon?

- No.

- When he was shown to you in prison

yesterday, you knew him.

I didn't see well.

Horea, your silence is futile!

You're making things difficult for

yourself!

When asked if he could write,

the accused answered that he could

not!

But this letter to Crisan reads:

'Your messenger has been caught!

Knowing my handwriting, you will know

that I sent you this letter!

God forbid, but should it come to the

enemy, you shall remain silent!

That is what I decided together with
