Season Of The Witch Page #4

Give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our trespasses...

- Get up.

- ...as we forgive those...

- ...who trespass against us.

- Get up!

- And lead us not into temptation!

- MAN:
But deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Debelzaq.

The key of Solomon.

The book of which the cardinal spoke.

Within these pages are said

to be all the rituals, prayers,

and incantations used by

holy men throughout the ages

to defend against the forces of evil.

Can... you perform the ritual?

What have we here?

Is this the fair trial you

promised me, Behmen?

You sealed your own fate.

Let it be known to all here present

and before God himself

that this woman stands

accused of witchcraft!

That she has admitted to calling up

a plague against all mankind.

I'm flattered.

But I must confess...

...I have deceived you.

You think you can save yourself

by recanting, but you're wrong.

- Speak the truth now before God!

- The truth?

Do not speak to me

of the truth, you hypocrite!

For centuries you and your ilk

have been burning, hanging,

crucifying anyone

who stood in their way!

In truth, I should thank you.

The Church has sent more souls

to perdition than all the wars,

famines, and pestilences put together.

- That is a lie, witch!

- Debelzaq! The ritual.

And you, Behmen!

All you needed was a child to save.

Someone to ease your pitiful guilt.

Did you truly think that saving one

ragged waif would change anything?

Come, Behmen. Your sins are legion.

How many innocent have

fallen beneath that very blade?

They are godless people. Infidels!

They have sinned against God

and against his only son, Jesus Christ.

They must be punished!

How could you know?

This i$ no Witch.

This i$ no Witch.

Do not utter those words!

We're gonna need more holy water.

Here!

Tell me, Behmen.

Are we going in there

to defeat the demon...

...or to save the girl?

Both.

Huh.

- I found more holy water.

- You've done well.

- This is as far as you go, Kay.

- I don't understand.

BEHMEN:
This is not your battle.

I took a vow to join your cause.

I release you from your vow.

There is no shame in it.

Honor is not a thing

to be dismissed or forgotten!

A vow must be fulfilled,

else it is no vow at all.

- Even at the cost of your life?

- Even then.

Kneel, Kay.

Speak after me.

- Grant me courage, O Lord.

- Grant me courage, O Lord.

- For I am thy servant.

- For I am thy servant.

- And gird me with strength unto battle.

- And gird me with strength unto battle.

- That I may crush thine enemies.

- That I may crush thine enemies.

As dust before the wind.

As dust before the wind.

Amen.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Rise a knight.

- Felson.

- What is it?

I know in my heart

I have not earned this.

You will.

FELSON:
The demon

could have escaped anytime.

Why did it wait

until we reached Severac?

Perhaps escape wasn't its purpose.

It wants to be here.

Debelzaq, you said Eckhart

tried to free her.

And I will not be a party to this.

- MILA:
Papa.

- Mila!

And he killed him.

And Hagamar too.

He stood in its way.

We kill the b*tch! Here and

now and be done with it.

He wanted to come here

from the very beginning.

My God.

The sooner we get her

to Severac, the better!

He's right. Everything it's done

has led us here.

Over here.

Why would a dying monk

do this to himself?

Why would he tie himself to a desk?

It's a passage

from the Book of Solomon.

There are more over here.

And more!

They were copying it.

To spread the wisdom of Solomon

to all the corners of the earth,

that the pious might be armed.

It wants the book.

That's why the demon deceived us

into believing the girl was a witch.

It knew that a witch

would be brought to those

who possessed the Book of Solomon.

You've seen what this plague has done.

If the book were to fall

into the demon's hands...

...we would face

an endless darkness.

It's our last defense.

DEMON:
I should thank all of you.

You sacrificed so much

to deliver me here.

And now you've brought me the book.

Debelzaq.

Silence!

- Watch out!

- Behmen!

Where are they?

- Who?

- The monks.

You can weaken it!

You have to keep reading.

The head, cut off the head!

They're like cockroaches.

Felson!

You have no idea how that accursed book

has tormented me over the centuries.

I destroyed the others.

This is the last one.

You'll be buying tonight, my friend.

Felson!

Finish it!

Amen!

Behmen.

What can I do?

Keep her safe.

God be with you, Felson.

It's strange.

To owe so much to someone

I never even knew.

I don't know what to say.

Say what is in your heart.

My name is Anna.

I owe you my life.

God keep you.

Will you tell me about them?

I want to know them.

ANNA:
So the plague passed

and life returned to the land.

There are many who say the plague

was nothing but a pestilence

that finally broke,

like the passing of a fever.

They don't know the darkness

that almost was.

The sacrifices made.

The heroes lost.

I will tell their story.

I was there.

I know.
