God has created?

I will find witnesses if you

don't change your ways.

Valborg is lying.

These are not lies!

- It's not the first time!

I'm sure we can agree that -

our little Gertrud was the last one.

I thought she would die.

For Madam.

To wish her health.

Please. Take it.

- Thank you.

Anna.

For Madam Elizabeth.

He dropped something.

You dropped this.

My knife.

How careless of me.

Thank you, beautiful saviour.

You're finally awake.

When the Batholomew Fair is over-

come to the cave.

I'll wait for you there.

...mouth of a wicked lad

Turning right cheap

like the broom of a fast lass

Dear girl, dear girl,

dear girl, listen here

Don't you forbid me

from hugging you again

one pond '5 deeper and the other...

Do you feel ill?

I am fine.

For your good health.

Your mother's good health, Nils.

I hear Valborg visited your mother.

What sort of a healer is she?

- Just an ordinary midwife.

She uses herbs

for women's troubles.

There are no ordinary healers.

People believe in

harmless little tricks.

Have done so for centuries.

Butchering innocent souls

in their mother's womb.

Is that harmless?

- They're playing God.

There are no harmless tricks.

Witchcraft is always witchcraft.

Did you find out what

that woman, Karin, does?

She is just -

a poor old beggar woman.

Who uses devil's tricks

to divine thieves.

Understandably so.

These villagers live on

this godforsaken island.

Some of them starve to death.

The law forbids such witchery.

Are these women ignorant of it -

or don't they just not care?

Beggars divine thieves.

Healthy people fall suddenly

seriously ill.

What do you imply?

That Valborg has used -

evil forces?

-of course not.

But now that you say it...

Let's take Karin, for instance.

People claim, for good reason -

that she uses the evil eye.

And Valborg, the angel maker-

defies our God!

I must convene the assizes

because of these women.

Thank you for an excellent meal.

I found a plant in the garden...

I wanted to compare

it to the book's...

Lovage, Levisticurn officinale,

is a perennial plant -

flowering from July to August

with pale yellow blooms.

The stem is smooth, hollow,

leafless and bluish -

with two or three...

- I see Anna can read.

My stepmother taught me.

Anna seems to be eager

to learn things.

You haven't told anyone, have you?

Who hit you?

Karl?

Karl's not like that.

Now that we're engaged -

he came to my bedchamber.

He noticed it wasn't my first time.

That someone had already...

Karl left me.

My father wanted to know why.

He hit me, called me a whore

and abandoned me.

My father said

I've ruined his life.

You can always stay here with me.

Where did you get this?

Silk is dreadfully expensive.

In Stockholm.

Let's go to Stockholm together.

- You're sweet.

Only the best for my bride.

You're shirtless!

If I tell you something -

promise that you never, ever -

reveal it to a living soul?

I promise...

Elias is Rakel's husband!

Anna, it's a mortal sin!

What was it like?

Be careful!

Silly girl.

Get away, we must...

- We must dance!

Once did a pretty girl kiss

the mouth of a wicked lad

Turning right cheap

like the broom of a fast lass

I'm not a great seer,

nor a great witch

when I see a pretty buy

his heart I will win!

I came to take Valborg

to be interrogated.

She made a fire of nine

different types of wood -

and shoe soles, tinder,

liquor and garlic.

She read a rhyme for each cow.

You will follow me like the devil

follows his false master...

You remember the rhyme well,

thank you.

What do you know of

the visit the accused made -

to Madam Elizabeth Psilander

after she suffered a fit?

She did trick with a loaf,

and spells. -What kind?

In the name of the Father,

of the Son and...

That is from the Bible.

And Ulrica Johansdaughter

ought to know it.

And the accused?

I just lit a bonfire for the cows.

An old practice many villagers use.

It harms no one.

Madam Elizabeth Psilander

was seriously ill.

I did my best to keep her alive.

Your Honour.

There isn't a single family

in the village -

whose child Valborg hasn't

helped into this world.

This trial is about witchcraft,

not midwifery.

Valborg has used white magic.

I want to remind Your Honour-

that only black magic

is called witchcraft.

In King Christopher's Law...

- The Bailiff should know -

that the law is no more

recognized in our realm.

All magic is dangerous,

therefore punishable.

Jurors, please rise

to hear the verdict.

Widow Valborg Magnusdaughter

has been proven guilty -

of practising witchcraft to

damage people and cattle -

for the benefit of herself

and the devil.

Therefore, she will banished

from here for the rest of her life.

Leave Rakel's husband alone.

I love him.

You follow your lust.

It's not the same as love.

I hope nothing happened

on the laundry day -

that cannot be salvaged.

Valborg.

Where is she? My Valborg.

You made a terrible mistake.

Overturn the sentence.

You can do it.

I observed the law.

And the trial was properly held,

you must understand it.

You scoundrel!

You know how long it takes

to clean those boots?

This'll make them shine.

Well, always time for one game.

Shall we?

How do you use your skills?

Ebba asked me

to divine the thief and...

Speak Swedish!

Cripes! Never have I spoken before -

in front of such big, fine lords!

What should I invent?

Sometimes I see small black kittens.

Once I saw a big black dog,

tall as an urchin.

But the trip I did only once.

What trip?

The first time -

I was there all alone,

and the black man...

He was big in every way!

Where was this?

Oh! It felt good!

But the second time

there was food.

Got to eat my fill!

Meat and fish!

Then he carried me home

on his strong arms!

Where did you find all that food?

On the Blockula Mountain, of course.

The same old story.

Because she's been there,

on the Mountain!

Believe it if you will.

Don't believe me?

I'll show you.

The black man hit me,

tore at me, mauled me...

Enough!

The jurors will decide on the case.

Can I go now?

Whore!

Imbalance of bodily fluids.

It has caused melancholy.

Blood-letting prevents her

from sinking in deeper.

And ipecac helps vomiting.

A person often angry

and melancholic -

must take this regularly.

We will follow your instructions.

This really is not for Madam.

Everything will turn out right.

And you know what?

Karin told her old story about

the Mountain at the trial.

No...

Did you say no?

Yes...

You speak!

I must talk to you.

We have two small children now,

they need their father.

I ask you as a woman.

End your affair with Elias.

I'm not thinking of myself only.

I am sorry.

But the bond between Elias and me -

is so strong. Stronger than life.

This is not the first time.

That's not true.

He's easily attracted to young,

beautiful girls.

I am your friend.

You hate Elias.

You try to turn me against him

and lie about him.

I must serve Madam Elizabeth's tea.
