Search everywhere!

- Oh my God. -What's wrong, sister?

Everywhere!

They all look alike don't they?

But under those clothes...

there may be some beautiful women.

Mother superior?

Where are you?

Mother superior!

I'm here.

Tell them to take off their veils.

I beg of you in the name of the Lord,

what you ask is a sacrilege.

If you don't do it, I will.

Kill me if you want

but don't ask me to do that.

As you wish.

What about this one? Huh?

The quality seems quite low

0 start off with.

Oh. Hm...this one! Ah...

Indeed this one is not bad.

If she had long hair,

he could be pretty.

What about this...

look at him.

No.

And...

this one.

She is really beautiful sir.

Really beautiful,

Tessa...

Tessa?

I have prayed for this moment.

Wait!

No. No.

Don't.

I love you.

I love you with all my heart.

I love you more than

Stay with me.

I'll change.

I'll do anything you say.

No.

Just don't leave me.

Oh dear God no! No...No!

Tessa...

I loved her.

She hit him.

Get her. Arrest her!

- She's a witch!

Your going to pay for this witch!

Alberto...

What's going on, Nicola?

Eleonora almost killed Barozzi

with a dagger to the throat.

Where is she?

Barozzi is taking her to Alessandria

to Barbarossa's camp.

He wants to hang her.

Alberto! Don't go!

Alberto don't go...

- Get him down! Alberto! - Let go...

- Let go... - calm down.

Alberto, you have to calm down.

Let go of me...

That's just what Barozzi wants.

- Let go of me... -They'll kill you.

Guidone, hold him...

Leave me alone...

Damn you! Leave me alone!

Ah! Get out of here! Out of here!

et out! Go away!

Get in there, witch!

I survived.

I don't think you'll be so lucky.

I'm going to watch you burn.

Bad news, bad news.

We've been trying

0 conquer this city for weeks.

How is the tunnel proceeding?

Your Majesty, as you know

we can only dig during our attacks

in order to cover the noise

and this rain is

certainly not helping either.

Double the digging.

The rivers around the city

re full with water, your Majesty

if they overflow their banks

he whole camp will be submerged.

The men are tired,

the rain...

he mud are destroying our troops.

Shut up!

We will get into the city before dawn,

make sure the tunnel's ready.

Have no fear, the door will stay...

I have no fear at all!

Yes.

She's here. She's here.

Open the door.

But your Highness!

Open the door, it's an order!

- Do it! -Yes, mam.

Close the door.

You know who I am?

You must be a very important person

if you give orders to the guard.

I was curious to see the woman

who had the courage to try to slit

he throat of an imperial envoy.

Next time my hand will be firmer.

There won't be a next time

nd you know it.

Tell me.

Why did you do it?

He killed my sister.

And because of him

yr husband risks his life.

What do you mean?

Why is he in danger?

What happened to your arm?

It's the mark of a lightning strike.

Lightning struck you

nd you didn't die?

Who are you?

A...Witch?

Get me out of here! Get me out here!

Open the door! Get me out of here!

She's a witch!

I don't want to stay with a witch!

Get me out! Get me out of here!

Shut up wench. Get back in there.

- God. -They will have no chance.

The scythes are exactly

at the height of the horsemen.

I like it. I like it boys.

Finally, it's stopped raining.

I'm drenched through

watching out for the Germans.

Quiet...Silence

Wait...Get ready...

Look out, sound the alarm!

Sound the alarm, call the guards!

The Germans are attacking.

Your Highness, we've been discovered.

The tunnel has been closed.

Set all the war machines on fire.

We retreat.

Damn Alexandrianese.

We're retreating to Pavia,

they're loyal to us.

We'll be there for a while.

There's only one thing

ou should do.

Send messengers

0 your cousin Henry the Lion.

You need fresh troops,

he can't refuse to help you.

Henry is greedy for land.

We've been away from Germany too long.

That's a good idea.

I'll do that.

'll get ready to pack.

One more thing.

before leaving camp my Lord

have pardon on that prisoner

rom Milan, please.

Why are you so worried

bout some peasant woman?

That woman has

extraordinary powers, Frederick.

They say she's a witch.

On her arm she bears a mark where

he was struck by lightning.

What is it that troubles you?

Lightning spared her.

Don't defy heaven.

Pardon her please.

If you burn her,

he will bring you bad luck.

Beatrice, this woman

needs to be punished.

If we burn her

she'll be happy to 90

Be ready.

How are you, cousin?

Where's the army you promised me?

Look at me, your Majesty.

I'm forty-six

nd full of aches and pains.

War is a luxury

can no longer afford.

I'm much older than you are

and I'm still willing to fight

or the empire.

Your Majesty, I'm ready too.

In there is enough money

0 pay many men.

It's yours, your Highness.

It is my contribution to your cause.

Stop it.

You know only too well that

he emperor doesn't need money.

He needs soldiers, an army...

aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Your emperor allowed you

to have Saxonia and Bavaria,

he defended you

rom all the German princes

who schemed against you.

And now...now that

he emperor asks for your help

all you are able to give

is some miserable money?

Why what confidence.

My cousin Fredrick should worry about

having a wife who speaks like a man.

They call you Henry the Lion

but you're worthless.

Let's go.

I told you to wait for me!

Sorry, your Majesty.

It doesn't matter.

As long as she burns.

Burn! Burn!

Men of Company of Death.

We have gathered here today

with a common dream...

looking for freedom!

Freedom is our birth right.

Freedom that was taken away from us.

It was taken away from us

by manipulating us,

separating us,

dividing us, by fear...

but this common dream

can unite us.

We can mend our fields,

walk our lands

and raise our families in peace.

Let us not fear tomorrow...

for to live one day in total freedom

means more than

hundred days of slavery!

Together we'll go...

Freedom!

Freedom...

Look,

Men of the league.

Oh my God!

What the hell?

Hold the line boys.

Hold the line.

They've seen the whole army.

theyre afraid to attack.

I don't like it.

I don't like this maneuver.

Your Highness,

the Milanese army has taken position

roughly two miles from here.

On the plain over there.

an you see them?

Milanese are stupid,

we can handle them.

Your Majesty, we were attacked

only by their cavalry.

We didn't see their infantry.

First we cripple their cavalry,

then their infantry will fall apart.
