Tartarus Page #3

Well, since we lose someone every time

one of them is born, they won't be far off!

So... you've also...

Yes. Two.

10, 20 women. How can

you look her in the face.

20, what? No! Three. I brought

them three women, that's all.

And two were already on

their deathbed anyway.

So they've already made

their pacts everywhere.

The whole village is doing this.

We have to warn them. We have to take

them away from here. Everyone that's left.

Jakob...

- Right now?

- Yes, right now!

Please tell me what is going on, Heinrich.

Forgive me, Mirabell.

What happened?

The reason why I haven't let

you out of the house...

why I told you to lock yourself in here...

- Yes. The French vagabonds.

- Right. The Frenchmen.

They are really bad Frenchmen.

Horrible, horrible Frenchmen.

Jakob and Veith have met them, too,

and we've agreed

that we can no longer stay here.

We have to leave the house?

Will they wreck it?

I've no idea.

Maybe they'll just redecorate it...

Listen, I'm sorry I can't tell you more.

But believe me.

Our best choice is to simply run away.

We need to wrap up warm.

We need blankets. And food.

And you need to stop treating me like

a fool with your Frenchmen stories.

That's a waste of our time.

I just wanted to protect you, Mirli.

I know. But you no longer have to.

Let's go.

- I'll see what I can find downstairs.

- What about the Hohenzinners?

Johanna and her parents?

We have to let them know.

We'll take the mountain path.

That will take us by their house.

Hohenzinner!

Hohenzinner, come out! Hurry!

- How many?

- Three. The parents and their daughter.

Too quiet.

Looks abandoned.

Go look in there.

Mrs. Hohenzinner?

Visitors.

We have visitors.

Don't go down there.

They get angry

if I don't bring them food.

- I want to help you leave...

- Shhh!

I have a visitor.

It will hatch again soon...

Where is your husband?

Where is your daughter?

Downstairs. With the visitors.

Please.

- No.

- Everything's broken.

Help me. Please.

What about her parents?

Both of them?

- The house has new occupants now.

- If I had only known...

Light the way.

Are you hurt, Johanna? Johanna?

How many were up there?

Only a few. We'll get through this.

Bad sign, your smile.

You never smile.

We'll get through this, Mirabell.

Over there!

Let's get them.

- Johanna, we have to leave this place.

- I'm not allowed to leave.

Mirabell.

Mirabell!

Mirabell!

Mirabell!

Where are they?

They wanted to separate us...

Mirabell.

Take her to the village.

Gather them all.

All those village bastards who are

responsible for how few women are left.

And then talk to them, Veith.

Tell them what we have done.

And you?

Jakob.

Kranzler.

Kranzler.

Heinrich. We have to get to

the village as fast as we can.

We don't have much time, so listen closely.

We have been tested.

On how smart we are.

How obedient we are.

How dumb we are... and

that's what we've been!

We all know where our women are now.

Why are you always in such a hurry?

Why do you always take so long?

Greetings. I'm glad you have all come.

A few words about the beasts,

some of you may not have made

their acquaintance just yet.

These beasts are cowards.

Well, they don't need much courage,

since they're as tall as houses,

with claws like this, different than

anything we've ever seen, fast!

And intelligent they are.

That's what scared me the most,

in the beginning: Animals that think.

But you know what,

the same applies to us!

And we're better thinkers.

If we want to be.

In the end, that's probably

our greatest advantage,

this human part of theirs.

Because that is their greatest weakness.

They're just as scared as we are!

They hunt in herds, so we'll form groups.

One man walks openly, the

others follow in hiding.

Pay close attention to your sides,

they like changing their lines of attack.

Whenever they catch something,

they immediately drag it

back to their nest. Their Cave.

We need to go there,

that's our destination.

A hole where they run in and out,

like ants. Ideal for us.

Listen very closely in there.

They're loud as church bells,

they can't help it.

And once you have one

in front of you, don't hesitate!

Don't let them intimidate you!

They're animals!

Not from hell,

certainly not from heaven! Animals!

Well. That's that.

We meet back here at the break of dawn.

And please,

come back out there in one piece.

This is meant to be

the first night of many.

Let's go.
