If Valborg were here,

I'd talk to her.

How dare you to mention my Valborg!

You're just a selfish little girl.

- But not a bitter old hag.

I used to like you.

But look at yourself now!

My darling.

Anna darling. Give it to me.

Don't come any closer.

You'll never touch me again.

Give it to me.

Damn you!

You're bleeding!

It's just a scratch.

Promise you'll never leave me!

To tell the truth.

Karin knows what it means.

Who did you meet at the Mountain?

No one.

No one.

Let me remind you of hell.

Liars will burn in eternal flames.

In never-ending pain.

Telling the truth -

and the names of

all the other witches -

will cleanse your soul.

You cannot receive Holy Communion -

unless you confess all your sins.

We'll travel to Stockholm -

Elias and me.

Forget Elias.

I ought to congratulate you

on your engagement.

Did you try to protest to your

parents?

So you gave in blindly.

Why wouldn't I?

Mrten is a good man.

A decent merchant.

He's kind-

doesn't drink too much or

hit children without a reason.

I wonder how Rakel

keeps him to herself.

She binds Elias to herself so -

that he cannot even breathe.

Anna.

No one else knows about

you and Elias yet -

but you maybe discovered

at any time.

Imagine what will happen then!

Should I sell myself to

some old widower, too?

Anna.

I thought we were best friends.

Have you witnessed something

with your own eyes?

Rakel Larsdaughter has used herbs

to cast spells.

And she has managed to dye

woollen yard red.

How do you think that happened?

- Through black magic.

Karin Persdaughter -

a beggar woman without an abode

or work in this district -

has been proven to have

made a pact with the devil-

to gain profit by black magic and

to help the forces of darkness -

she has followed in her sinfulness.

- Good riddance to her.

Therefore she will be,

according to our laws -

sentenced to death by beheading

and burnt at the stake.

A death sentence!

The voice of my beloved!

Behold, he cometh leaping -

upon the mountains,

skipping upon the hills.'

Rakel! Come and see how a head drops!

I think it's horrible and disgusting.

They say he's uglier

than the devil.

The executioner,

all the way from Turku!

Strong evidence shows -

that these evil deeds do not

spring from a mystic -

but from a natural

source:
witchcraft.

Let us also be aware that -

even in our midst

there may be souls -

who have made a pact

with the devil.

In the name of the Father-

of the Son -

and of the Holy Ghost.

Communion! I want the Communion!

I want to cleanse my soul,

I don't want to go to hell!

I've seen you!

I've seen you hags

on the Blockula Mountain!

And the good Reverend knows

everyone's name!

As Karin has now made

an official confession -

she is ready to receive

the Lord's blessing.

The body of Christ.

The blood of Christ.

No!

No, no!

I don't want to die!

I'm an old wife and -

I don't think my fleshy c*nt

will save me now.

Anders!

Grandma Ebba is alleged to

have used rnagia divinaria -

to solve crimes, therefore being

guilty of a pact with the devil.

According to the testimony

of Persdaughter -

widow Lisbeta Skarp has turned

herself into an animal -

with black fur

to take part in the devil's feast.

Mother!

Let me go!

Let go, you scoundrels!

Don't touch me!

Can all those guilty of witchcraft

be sentenced to death?

Rakel Larsdaughter is arrested

for practising witchcraft.

Rakel, come with us.

What about my children?

They're better off

with the neighbours -

than in a stinking dungeon.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Johan, will you hold

your little sister-

while I warm up some

sugar water for her?

Darling!

Forgive me. I didn't know

what I was doing.

I didn't mean that Rakel...

- What are you saying?

It was wrong to give

Rakel's name to the Judge.

I thought they'd just banish

her like Valborg.

God damned b*tch.

Elias.

I should've never trusted you.

I don't want to hear.

How did you get the Judge

to believe your lies?

I know how.

We have been forced to witness

individual tragedies.

But only a hardened soul-

does not confess its sins.

In the name of God, these souls

will burn eternally in hell.

I may not be -

as certain of what

I said about Rakel when...

when you denounced her.

- Yes.

I see.

Usually you are quite

certain about everything.

It was a mistake. I thought...

You can rest easy.

You can confidently leave

the matter to us jurists.

We have the methods and the tools -

to drag out the truth.

Ebba!

Lisbeta!

Gertrud!

Gertrud?

Reverend!

Everyone knows it!

Help me, please!

Tell them I'm innocent.

Karl!

My Karl.

You said once -

that I made all your

dreams come true.

Karl.

You slut.

I picked you -

from all the innocent virgins.

Witches' ointment.

It's just ordinary shoe...

Did you fly to the Mountain?

On a goat, or a cow?

Lisbeta's family-

may soon lose their home.

Your Excellency...

I am sure you understand-

that we need firewood.

- Firewood?

We need your cottage -

for firewood when we burn

witches at the stake.

Stigma diaboli.

Look for scars, deformities

and dark patches on skin.

No pain.

Have you not done

the needle test before, Bailiff?

If the suspect doesn't feel anything,

she's been marked by the devil.

Case closed.

I fell from a tree as a child.

Ebba Matsenkia.

Lisbeta Skarp.

Gertrud Bengtsdaughter.

Maria Nilsdaughter.

And Ingeborg Olofsdaughter.

According to the law, all will be

sentenced to death by beheading -

then burnt at the stake.

Anders...

Mother's little darlings.

It was no witches' ointment.

I wanted my shoes to shine!

Karl, help me!

Karl!

Rakel Larsdaughter.

Rakel Larsdaughter has not yet

completed her confession.

Interrogations will continue.

In the name of the Father-

of the Son -

and of the Holy Ghost.

Help me!

Help me!

Will you...

- I won't tell anyone.

Forgive me.

I said some bad things.

I was desperate.

You're my best and dearest friend.

And you mine.

Hi.

I brought you fresh bread.

I need to see Rakel Larsdotter.

Visits are forbidden.

Judge Psilander's order.

A nursling needs her mother.

You know?

Just this once.

Just this once.

Greetings from Johan.

Everything's fine at home.

Rakel, I am sorry. I was mad.

My little child.

My little unbaptized daughter

whose soul will be damned.

You couldn't even wait

for me to be churched.

I'll end up in hell.

What will be her name?

Iliana.

My little Iliana.

She will be baptized.

I promise you.

- Slut!

Go away.

Go.

Want your boots cleaned,

Mr District Judge?

And then some shoe polish.

Does anyone use -

these jars for any other purpose?

No.

You did that well, Madam.

Where's the ointment

you showed to the jurors?

I burnt it after the interrogations.

You burnt it?

- Witches' ointment.

I certainly didn't want to keep it.

Where did you find that?

From Rakel?

It is shoe polish, just like

Gertrud said in the court.

That slut is capable of
