"it is nothing but

Willow and elder.

"And since the head is empty,

the members at the ends

are in pain."

Did you finish

cleaning the cellar?

Yeah, all done.

Isn't it so annoying?

-So annoying.

-I told you.

I know.

Sorry I told on you.

Sorry that I told mother marea

every time I thought

something wasn't right

or weird.

Sorry I ruined your ritual.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you

i was a witch.

But honestly,

I thought eventually I could

turn you all into witches,

and you'd join my coven,

but I know that sounds stupid.

You really think

i could be a witch?

Yeah.

Do you think

they're gonna kill him?

I don't know what's going on

with Giovanni lately.

Have you noticed

the carrots they're serving

the soldiers are mushier?

I was saying

the same thing yesterday.

I would even be okay

if they were mushy

on the outside

and crispy on the inside.

I don't need,

like, a full crisp, but...

It could be

a little mushy. I'm fine

with a little mush.

'Cause this is

basically carrot pudding.

Where is he?

Welcome back.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

I've been in sarzana

meeting with the family

of my new bride.

Beautiful young lady

who seems like

she might be up to fidelity.

Imagine that.

Once she hits puberty.

I have to thank you for doing

me an incredible favor.

My wife, who had hidden

her guelph ancestry,

turned out to be

quite the barren twat.

And you've given me

every reason

to seal her up in a wall

with a boar and a dog.

I've got some good news

and some bad news.

Which would you

like first?

I don't care.

The good news is

I'm going to keep you alive

for as long as I can.

It sounds cheery.

The bad news is

it's only so that

i can inflict as much pain

and degradation

as I torture your flesh.

I'm having

a hard time determining

which of my favorite

torture methods

to start with upon you.

Got the thumbscrew.

I have a Catherine wheel.

I have a rack out back.

It was taking up

too much space in here,

but still fully functional.

There's a new one

called the rat box

just in from sicily.

The rat box,

not to be confused with

what I call

my wife's private area

after you'd been to visit.

It's a box of rats

with one open side

placed against your abdomen.

I light a fire on

the other side of the box,

so that the rats,

in their attempts to escape,

burrow through your guts.

Anyway, we'll have

a lot of fun together

in the coming days

and maybe weeks,

depending on

how tough you are.

Don't go anywhere.

Sh*t.

There was no good news

in that at all.

Hey, um... I'd actually...

I'd really appreciate it

if you guys let me out now.

Oh.

Can't do that to us.

-Please.

-It's a tough position.

Hey, hey,

we're friends, all right?

You don't want

to be here either.

Just let me out.

We'll make a run for it.

-I...

-We can't.

He can't make a run

for anything.

If I die,

that's on your conscience.

You don't want to live

with that.

Please.

What... is...

Okay. You're gonna have

to move quick,

especially around the moat.

The guards out there

have a real thirst for blood.

Yes, of course.

Thank you so much.

-Okay, here I go.

-Okay.

I'm unlocking you.

What are you...

There's a turtle

with a candle on it!

Really?

Wait, wait, wait!

Don't leave me!

Hey, where are you going?

Don't leave me!

Come on! Just please.

Stop, you shits!

- Let's see what he does.

- Sh*t.

What are you doing here?

We're getting you out. Hi.

Come on!

Come on. Come on.

Whoa, whoa. Come on!

No, no, it's okay.

I'm giving it to you.

You can trust us.

We're rescuing you!

I embroidered this doll

to put in your place.

We brought you a lunar habit

to hide you in the night.

We want to bring you back

to the convent.

All right.

All right, let's go.

I'm gonna need that back.

Put on the habit.

Key. Oh, key!

Okay. All right.

Let's go. Let's go, let's go.

You think this has something

to do with our hair being cut?

You think we should tell Bruno

about that?

He's got his hands full

with the wife in the wall

and everything.

We just saw the wildest thing.

You would not believe it.

Well, it was a turtle...

Come on.

Hello.

Tommasso.

How are things at the convent?

It's lonely.

That monastery is so boring.

All we do is pray.

I mean, it's important, but...

It's all men.

It's so good to see your face.

--Someone's coming.

Come on!

Come on.

They're gone.

All right, come on.
