00:15:12,211 --> 00:15:15,510
So avowed
on the part of Valliere.
171
00:15:19,451 --> 00:15:22,909
Not as sharp as you thought,
the famous Pincheon.
172
00:15:27,059 --> 00:15:30,324
I owe you my life, monseigneur.
I won't forget it.
173
00:15:30,396 --> 00:15:32,523
They had a bad case.
The maitre did his best with it.
174
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:36,227
No, they'd have strung me up
if you'd not been here...
175
00:15:36,302 --> 00:15:38,463
and all for that bastard!
176
00:15:38,537 --> 00:15:42,166
I should've done him
years ago.
177
00:15:42,241 --> 00:15:46,405
Anything you ever want,
Maitre, ask for Valliere.
178
00:15:51,850 --> 00:15:56,150
- Mathieu, do you think, uh--
- Yes, Maitre.
179
00:15:56,221 --> 00:15:59,122
That the man really screwed his wife,
that little church mouse?
180
00:15:59,191 --> 00:16:01,716
I gather the deceased
screwed quite a few wives...
181
00:16:01,794 --> 00:16:05,662
including those of several members
of the judiciary.
182
00:16:05,731 --> 00:16:07,824
''Just country gossip.''
183
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:16,866
- We should see the witch.
They could burn her.
- They hang them here.
184
00:16:16,942 --> 00:16:19,172
Where is your glory,

185
00:16:19,244 --> 00:16:23,874
Where is now Nebuchadnezzar?
Where the evil doers of times past?
186
00:16:23,949 --> 00:16:27,112
The death by hanging only this
past month of Roger Landrier...
187
00:16:27,186 --> 00:16:30,451
and the miraculous reprieve
of his own she-ass by the grace of God.
188

See how worms devour
the fair Absalom.

But alas, her belly...

- What is it?
- Oh, the poor little boy.
The blood on him!
193
00:17:01,653 --> 00:17:03,780
What happened?
194
00:17:05,457 --> 00:17:08,654
- Must've had a bad fall.
He looked terrible.
- He looked dead.
195
00:17:08,727 --> 00:17:11,855
LittleJewish boy.
Shame, though.
196
00:17:11,930 --> 00:17:14,160
- How do you know he was Jewish?
- The mother.

198

- How long have we been here, Mathieu?
- All of five days, Maitre.

The devil's mark,
Maitre.
200
00:17:28,947 --> 00:17:31,916
You see?
The third nipple.
201
00:17:31,984 --> 00:17:35,647
- The witch's teat.
- I was a wet-nurse, monseigneur.
202
00:17:35,721 --> 00:17:38,690
That was a birth mark before you stuck
your damn needles in it.
203
00:17:38,757 --> 00:17:41,385
And you keep her naked,
do you, like an animal?
204
00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:43,826
She's pricked twice a day,
Maitre.
205
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:46,694
In cases of witchery,
evidence may be obtained by duress...
206
00:17:46,765 --> 00:17:49,393
and the prisoner
will be stripped for the ordeal.
207
00:17:49,468 --> 00:17:51,493
Labatier says I've got tits
like a milk cow.
208
00:17:51,570 --> 00:17:54,232
Labatier, you're not
an officer of the Inquisition.
You've no right.
209

Oh, yes.
I'm a licensed pricker.

Loose her...
and bring her clothes now.
211
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:10,615
Yes,
I suckled Lucifer.
212
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:14,147
But since then I've tasted
of the blood of Christ
from his five wounds.
213
00:18:14,226 --> 00:18:18,390
You don't have to talk to me like that.I want her dressed now.!
214
00:18:20,432 --> 00:18:22,525
I'm not with them.
Do you understand?

Put down: The body
is badly marked...
216
00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:31,402
there are signs of torture
in the second and third degree.
217
00:18:31,477 --> 00:18:34,640
Maitre, I flew on beams
and kissed the devil's ass...
218
00:18:34,713 --> 00:18:37,944
- and I'll be hanged for it.
- No.
219
00:18:38,016 --> 00:18:42,146
Church has made you excommunicate,
and passed you over to the civil court.
220
00:18:42,221 --> 00:18:45,588
The court is not concerned
with witchery.
What you're accused of is maleficium:
221
00:18:45,657 --> 00:18:48,217
that your witcherycaused injury to your neighbors.
222
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:50,318
It's not a civil offenseto do magic.
223
00:18:50,395 --> 00:18:53,023
- You understand?
- I helped them.
224
00:18:53,098 --> 00:18:55,066
When the womencouldn't stop their bleeding...
225
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:57,534
- or when the children were dying--
- You put a curse on your neighbor...
226
00:18:57,603 --> 00:19:00,071
- Jehan Lours.
- He pulled down my fence!
227
00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:02,801
- Caused him to be impotent.
- He hadn't had it up for years!
228
00:19:02,875 --> 00:19:06,834
Well, that counts as injury.
And you ''procured and suborned rats...

so that he died of a fatal miasma.''

It was the falling sickness.
Everybody knows that.
231
00:19:13,785 --> 00:19:16,185
Well, that's the charge
we have to worry about.
232
00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:19,247
If I can get you clear
of the business with the rats,
you'll confess to the other counts.
233
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:22,953
- They're not capital.
- I done no harm.

Trust me, it's an arrangement.
It's how we do it.
235

I'm going to tell you
what you have to say.

You've another one come in, Maitre:
a child killer.
237
00:19:40,712 --> 00:19:43,806
- Murdered a littleJewish boy.
- Murder, was it?
238
00:19:43,882 --> 00:19:45,873
The worst, Maitre.
239
00:19:45,951 --> 00:19:48,943
- Let's see him.
- Her, Maitre.
240
00:19:49,021 --> 00:19:51,080
I'll take you
to her.
241
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:59,520
- What is this?
- Your client, Maitre.

[ Squealing ]
243
00:20:13,645 --> 00:20:16,375
Courtois, are you telling me
you're innocent of this whole process...
244
00:20:16,448 --> 00:20:18,416
- the arraignment of beasts?
- No, sir.
245
00:20:18,483 --> 00:20:21,714
It's just that in the city, I've never
had the occasion to be involved.
246
00:20:21,787 --> 00:20:23,721
Maitre Pincheon,
are you with all this?
247
00:20:23,789 --> 00:20:26,087
Do you go along with being
the learned prosecutor of a pig?
248
00:20:26,158 --> 00:20:28,786
- Do you have witnesses?
- [ Labatier ] Yes.
249
00:20:28,860 --> 00:20:30,953
[ Courtois ]
They saw the child killed?
250
00:20:31,029 --> 00:20:33,463
I gather when the body was found,
a pig was seen running off.
251
00:20:33,532 --> 00:20:37,161
- A sign of its guilt, do you suppose?
- Indeed, Maitre!
252
00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:40,364
You know they keep
the animal in the jail
with the other prisoners?
253
00:20:40,439 --> 00:20:42,407
It's all according
to the book, Maitre:
254
00:20:42,474 --> 00:20:46,171
- same quarters, same food
three times a day.
- Think on it, Courtois.
255
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:49,840
The animal has to have counsel,
the state pays your fee.
256
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:51,849
Now, gentlemen--

On the matter of the woman,
the one charged with witchery.
258
00:20:58,090 --> 00:21:00,957
If I can satisfy the court
on the maleficium,
the business with the rats...
259
00:21:01,026 --> 00:21:05,827
- do we have an arrangement?
- If you can disprove the rats...
260
00:21:05,897 --> 00:21:08,491
then I think things would go
better for her on the other counts.
261
00:21:08,567 --> 00:21:12,025
She would lose her land,
of course, and, uh--
262
00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:14,732
What else can I say?
263
00:21:16,708 --> 00:21:20,644
Not a great deal of witchery
in the city either, eh, Courtois?
264
00:21:20,712 --> 00:21:23,010
Have you read the text?
265
00:21:23,081 --> 00:21:26,573

can be rather confounding.

- They know it's all a game.

absolves them from guilt.

was black.

- When I first saw the corpse.

- Oh, yes.

He had been dead
for many hours.

in another place entirely?
- That is possible.

[ Chortling Continues ]
827
01:04:39,575 --> 01:04:44,012
- I think you're lost, Maitre.
- Lost?
828
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,344
Are you not?
829
01:04:46,415 --> 01:04:48,883
There's the door.
830
01:04:53,522 --> 01:04:56,457
[ Seigneur ]What did you hear?
831
01:04:56,525 --> 01:05:00,086
Very little.
Are you a Cathar?
832
01:05:00,162 --> 01:05:05,190
My grandfather was one of the last.
Had his legs burnt off by King Philip.
833
01:05:05,268 --> 01:05:09,830
- What little did you hear?
- Um, about prices. The price of linen.
834
01:05:09,906 --> 01:05:13,706
Something about
the annual tithe.
835
01:05:13,776 --> 01:05:17,041
- Is that it, the brotherhood?
- What did you expect?
836
01:05:17,113 --> 01:05:19,775
Drinking the blood
of virgins?
837
01:05:19,849 --> 01:05:23,341
Good God, look at them. They've all
one leg in the grave already.
838
01:05:23,419 --> 01:05:27,856
It's how we keep control--
order and rule.
839
01:05:27,924 --> 01:05:30,586
We fix tithes and prices
for the whole province.
840
01:05:30,660 --> 01:05:33,754
Stop the foreign merchants underselling.
You look terrible.
841
01:05:33,829 --> 01:05:36,423
A little fever.
842
01:05:36,499 --> 01:05:41,436
Mind you, you can have
your tongue cut out
if you think to tell the tale.
843
01:05:43,773 --> 01:05:46,264
We shouldn't meet now
until it's over.
844
01:05:46,342 --> 01:05:50,870
- What have we done?
- It's not what we've done.
It's what they think we've done.
845
01:05:50,947 --> 01:05:53,245
Look I have to--
I want you!
846
01:05:53,316 --> 01:05:57,116
- I can't think of anything else.
- Not now. I said it.
847
01:05:57,186 --> 01:06:01,748
What are you doing to me?
You disturb me. I--
848
01:06:01,824 --> 01:06:04,224
All of it! I wanted to make it
work here, and it's falling apart.
849
01:06:04,293 --> 01:06:06,488

851
01:06:22,345 --> 01:06:24,870
Well now, the maitre
been dipping his fingers...
852
01:06:24,947 --> 01:06:28,883
in his Little Egyptian
casserole, has he?
853
01:06:28,951 --> 01:06:33,149
Sweet, but stinking, is it,
the little black crack on her?
854
01:06:38,194 --> 01:06:41,755
Tooth for tooth, Maitre.
Stripe for stripe.
855
01:06:45,001 --> 01:06:48,732
[ Albertus ] I see a dark shadowbehind you, my son.
856
01:06:48,804 --> 01:06:53,173
It seems to take the formof a great black goat.
857
01:06:53,242 --> 01:06:56,678
Can it be your
little master Satan?
858
01:06:56,746 --> 01:07:01,774
- Go about your business, Domini.
- This is my business, Sheriff.
859
01:07:01,851 --> 01:07:05,651
Should the priest of this parish
not witness to the Holy Fathers
what he sees with his own eyes?
860
01:07:17,133 --> 01:07:19,533
You see, it works.

## [ Humming ]
869
01:08:48,891 --> 01:08:53,487
So, Domini, an animalhas no soul and cannottherefore be excommunicated.
870
01:08:53,562 --> 01:08:58,727
No. It may be anathematized.
It's a fine distinction.
871
01:08:58,801 --> 01:09:03,101
I believe clerics are undecided
as to whether a woman has a soul.
872
01:09:03,172 --> 01:09:06,733
Rather elderly clerics,
I think, Maitre.
873
01:09:10,746 --> 01:09:13,214
The child was Jewish,
was he not?
874
01:09:14,917 --> 01:09:17,351
Is the crime of the beast
less than if he had been a Christian?
875
01:09:17,419 --> 01:09:20,183
I can't say!
876
01:09:20,256 --> 01:09:22,850
AJew may be below the Christian
in divine order...
877
01:09:22,925 --> 01:09:24,859
but he's certainly above
the goat and the ass.
878
01:09:24,927 --> 01:09:27,896
On a level, perhaps,
with the dog?
879
01:09:27,963 --> 01:09:30,591
Well, it is only 30 years
since a citizen of Paris...
880
01:09:30,666 --> 01:09:33,260
was burnt for sodomy because
he cohabited with a Jewess.
881
01:09:33,335 --> 01:09:35,735
It was thought to be
on a level...
882
01:09:35,804 --> 01:09:38,170
of copulation
with a dog.
883
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:42,301
Interesting, Domini.
884
01:09:42,378 --> 01:09:46,940
So a man known to have lain
with a heathen woman might
forfeit his life for it.
885
01:09:47,016 --> 01:09:49,416
But not today,I would hope, monseigneur.
886
01:09:49,485 --> 01:09:53,512
Well... are you finished,
Maitre?
887
01:09:59,128 --> 01:10:03,087
Are you telling us, Domini,
that in your theology...
888
01:10:03,165 --> 01:10:07,261
it is futile toanathematize or execute...
889
01:10:07,336 --> 01:10:09,770
an insentient beast?
890
01:10:09,838 --> 01:10:12,272
N-No, no.
891
01:10:12,341 --> 01:10:17,210
The beast may contain a devil,
and it's the devil we curse
and the vessel we destroy.
892
01:10:17,279 --> 01:10:20,908
A devil in the pig? A devil
in the cat that steals the fish?
893
01:10:20,983 --> 01:10:24,009
In the locust that
destroys the harvest?
894
01:10:24,086 --> 01:10:27,385
Is the locust big enough
to contain a devil, Domini? A fly?
895
01:10:27,456 --> 01:10:29,686
Interesting point
about the fly.
896
01:10:29,758 --> 01:10:34,252
It was debated for three days
at a convocation in Rheims,
and no conclusion reached.
897
01:10:34,330 --> 01:10:37,197
You don't really believe everything
you've been saying in here, do you?
898
01:10:37,266 --> 01:10:39,962
This is monstrous!
899
01:10:40,035 --> 01:10:42,299
Do you, Domini?
900
01:10:42,371 --> 01:10:44,737
Oh, I believe it, Maitre.

904

The death of a child...
905
01:11:06,228 --> 01:11:08,458
even a Hebrew child...
906
01:11:08,530 --> 01:11:11,294
Maitre, more so.
907
01:11:11,367 --> 01:11:14,393
It causes us to questionthe natural law...
908
01:11:14,470 --> 01:11:19,407
to ponder in our anguish
the purposes of God himself.
909
01:11:22,044 --> 01:11:26,378
Where is order...
and rule?
910
01:11:26,448 --> 01:11:29,281
And what do we do
when faced...
911
01:11:29,351 --> 01:11:31,842
with the unknown
and the unknowable?
912
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:35,981
We give ourselves
up to fear!
913
01:11:36,058 --> 01:11:38,652
Every day,
every one of us...
914
01:11:38,727 --> 01:11:41,355
awaits in terror...
915
01:11:41,430 --> 01:11:44,160
some new chaos,
some new darkness.
916
01:11:46,535 --> 01:11:50,437

918
01:11:53,275 --> 01:11:56,039
Not the black death...
919
01:11:56,111 --> 01:12:01,174
but fear...
so much the blacker.
920
01:12:02,518 --> 01:12:05,009
And what,aside from our prayers...
921
01:12:05,087 --> 01:12:07,112
can help usto bear this burden?
922
01:12:07,189 --> 01:12:09,180
I would say to you...
923
01:12:09,258 --> 01:12:11,692
the law!
924
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:15,093
The law is not only
punishment and retribution.
925
01:12:15,164 --> 01:12:20,534
The law can purge the deed, put an end
to the chapter, close the book!
926
01:12:21,837 --> 01:12:24,897
When we see
justice done...
927
01:12:24,973 --> 01:12:27,874
we go back
to our daily lives...
928
01:12:27,943 --> 01:12:32,471
knowing at least that the
next time the fears come...
929
01:12:32,548 --> 01:12:35,244
they will be subject...
930
01:12:35,317 --> 01:12:37,842
to the sameimmutable process.
931
01:12:39,688 --> 01:12:42,350
A child is dead.
932
01:12:42,424 --> 01:12:45,825
Killing the pigwon't bring it back.
933
01:12:47,830 --> 01:12:50,025
But it will,for the rest of us say:
934
01:12:50,099 --> 01:12:55,127
It is done this time,
and properly done.
935
01:12:56,538 --> 01:12:58,631
For now...
936
01:12:58,707 --> 01:13:01,471
the circle
is full again.
937
01:13:02,644 --> 01:13:04,635

it is my judgment...
1157
01:34:03,037 --> 01:34:07,201
that the first accused pig
is not culpable
of the charge against it.
1158
01:34:07,274 --> 01:34:11,540
This animal leaves the court
with no stain on her character.
1159
01:34:11,612 --> 01:34:14,843
As to the second pig:

We'll go somewhere else.
I'll keep you in the country.
1166
01:35:05,466 --> 01:35:09,664
And one day you come home,
and your house is burned down...
1167
01:35:09,737 --> 01:35:13,366
and your black witch wife
inside it.

Pig flesh, roasted.
1169
01:35:17,912 --> 01:35:22,747
I think I'm a little bit
animal to you;
1170
01:35:24,218 --> 01:35:28,518
not brute beast
like they think...
1171
01:35:28,589 --> 01:35:31,319
but yes...

you'd like at your fireplace
and in your bed.

Go away from here.

I love you.
1178
01:35:57,551 --> 01:36:00,076
I could love you.
1179
01:36:01,355 --> 01:36:05,951
But I couldn't sing your songs,
only my own--
1180

a long time ago...

A part of you

A part of me
goes with you.

Who was that man
who sat here?
1185
01:36:44,632 --> 01:36:47,965
Calls himself Fournier.
1186
01:36:48,035 --> 01:36:50,560
He comes here
every second year...

and the Holy Fathers arrive
soon after him.
1188

He's a spy
for the Inquisition.

she said these were bad times,and there'd be more.
1197
01:37:53,234 --> 01:37:57,000
Then there'd comea fine knight in armorthat shone like the sun.
1198
01:37:57,071 --> 01:38:00,040
And he'd carry the weaponsof strength and righteousness.
1199
01:38:00,107 --> 01:38:03,304
And deliver us from our eviland our lies...
1200
