The Countess Page #6

---

- Yes. But why send me?

As I recalled, you were once quite

close to Countess Bethory.

As I recalled, you were not very pleased about it.

- Why not send him?

- She will kill me.

I believe you are the one too,

to take care of this mater, my son.

And she is very cautious.

It is easier for you to approach her.

- Can I say no?

- No.

You saw some of the girl I found near her castle.

My body still bears the scars of her lunecy.

- Would you care to see?

- No.

She is a murdereress.

I want everything taken care of before

King can get to Cachtice.

It is for your my son.

After this, you will be the most

powerful man in the Kingdom.

- After you.

- Of course.

We are leaving today.

Do not feel remorsful.

She begged to kill you, not so long ago.

- Why did you you not?

- She did not offer to pay me.

It is strange to think that the hands that...

...once to xxx her was whom strike her.

I will only strike her if she is guilty.

You know which sin is worst?

Murder or greed?

We will soon find out.

In hell.

Be aware of her. She is mad.

And she will try to kill you.

Stop!

Dismount.

I wish to see her doings with my

own eyes before we arrest her.

They will stay here until we send for them.

Do not fear, she only has few men protecting her.

It is not fear of facing a

murdereress that upsets me.

The excitement of seeing her again

mixes with sorrow of losing her forever.

Horsemen, 2 horsemen riding towards us.

Dorothea, my white dress. Hurry.

You answered my prayers.

Dear Count Thurzo, what a

surprise after all this time.

What has it been? Three years?

- Five.

- How quickly time flies.

Yes.

Let me ask you, how have you been, my lady.

I have been quite busy with this awful war.

So, what brings you here?

I was riding to Krakow when...

...my companion pointed out

your beautiful castle.

I thought maybe we could

stay one night... or even a bit longer.

I appologize about the flies.

My men left a horse rotting outside the castle...

...and we have not been able

to get rid of them ever since.

- So you're married now?

- I was married for four years.

My wife died one year ago bearing our first child.

They died soon after.

I am do sorry to hear that.

She was a daughter

of a powerful Danish merchant.

My father needed a new trading allies.

I am truly happy about

your visit, Dear Istvan.

I can not tell you how often

I've wished for this day to come.

Why did God have us 20 years apart?

It will not stop me loving you.

Come to my room.

I have had a long jurney.

Let me rest first. Then I shall come to you.

I was so afraid you would say no.

Why did you have to break my

heart with that abominable letter?

What did I write in any of my

letters could have possibly upsets you?

The one and the only letter I received from you...

...confessing your love for Baroness von Kraj.

Kraj used to be mine but after

I met you, I've never saw her again.

And I certaily never sent such a letter.

My father, he must faked my name.

How could I have doubted you?

I only trusted xxx to deliver

the many letters I wrote to you.

Begging you to forgive me.

But I was sent away by force.

Let us be stronger than your father's desperate...

attempt to distroy our beautiful love.

It's not too late. Come.

No.

Why not?

Your hands are so cold.

Why are you shaking, my love?

It is the joy of seeing you again.

Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?

I once lost my mind.

There is nothing more painful than feeling

betrayed by someone you love so deeply.

I once promised myself to take revenge me.

But when I saw you riding from far.

All my anger vanished all I felt was love.

No mater how much I cared for her,

another part of me believed

what I had heard and seen.

There was too much evidence,

too many witnesses,

for me to believe that she could be innocent.

Have you lost your mind?

You're here to find out about the cruel

murders, not to spend the night with her.

I'm so fond of her. I do not

believe she could hurt anyone.

Do not let her charm you.

She will eat you alive.

Perhaps if her heart was not broken,

she would not become who she is.

God made her this way or the devil more like.

Her evil was forged this way from birth.

- What if I disobeyed my father and escaped.

- You didn't.

So we will never know.

Let us find out who she really is.

Let's find out someting not good..

Master, you do not want to see this.

A pile of rotting corpses,

dismembered children.

Their eyes're eaten by worms.

The devil himself could not be more effective.

Countess Bathory, you are under arrest.

The accomplices have

confessed to all the murders.

The girls were bled to death in the cages.

Erzebet's servants' confessions

were made under torture.

The Countess herself was

absent for her own trial.

It was decided to hide

her uncontainable madness.

And thus to protect her name.

Death by strangulation is what they deserve.

As for that creature, decapitation.

He can hear but not speak.

Countess Bathory is condemned

to be wall up in her room to death.

A small openning will be left

to provide food and water.

Many witnesses've testifed

to the murders and xxx...

...committed by the Countess and her accomplices.

Bodies were found around Cathtice castle.

Some were partially eaten by the Contess.

Also found with journals written by

the Countess Batheory herself...

...documenting the murders in detail.

As well as letters from Darvulia,

the witch, heretical books,

And finaly the cage she tortured the girls in.

Even if it seems the Countess

may not practice witchcraft,

We do have one witness

who has confirmed that...

...he saw her copulating

with the devil himself.

All evidence will be destroyed

per the decision of County Thurz.

In order to keep the countess'

name as untained as possible.

By signing this document, the Countess Bethory...

...bequeaths all her possessions

to Count Gyorgy Thurzo.

Cachtice will be xxx to her children.

The king is now cleared of any debts

to the Bathory Nadasky family.

Now, if the devil allows you to. Sign This.

You have orchestrated this

masterful, I have to say.

You have murdered innocent women.

- Hundreds.

- Lies.

How many innocents have been

sacrificed in you pursuit of wealth?

I've seen presistance of

denying the truth only come from..

...that you are now be wraft of reason.

Unfortunately, I am no.

I will go to my grave completely sane.

Your tale merely confirms that

women are mad and vain.

And should not be given the right to rule.

Your fable will be keep populars

occupied for very long time.

They will be terrified of the blood-thirsty myth...

...that you made of me, and forget about

the evils that are indeed very real.

Of course, Erzebet, if it's not for me

you would've been burned at the stake.

My gratitude to spare me a quick death.

And if it were not for you,

I would have never felt love.

Eternal love.

Is it not strange to think that as I
