00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,160

00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:27,480


3
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,960


4
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,960
I can't go on, Brother Oswin!

5
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,960
You can! You must!

6
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,960
Here. Take my coat, Sister Hilaria.

7
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,960
LABOURED BREATHING

8
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,960
Praise God.

9
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,800
Look, Sister! Look! Shelter!

10
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,480
GASPING FOR BREATH

11
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:26,960
You are cold, Brother.

12
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:29,960
Hold me close for warmth.

13
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:32,960
We must huddle together or perish.

14
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,960
BELL RINGING

15
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,960
Where are you, Oswin?

16
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:48,960
Where are you, boy?

17
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,960
PANTING

18
00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:01,640
Oh, God, forgive me!

19
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,000
I meant no evil! I meant no evil!

20
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,960
A fine evening, Brother.

21
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,960


22
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,960
ALL:


23
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,640

and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit

24
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,160

and now, and always

25
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,960


26
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,960


27
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,640


28
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:44,960
Go with God.

29
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,640

Focus on the supplicant's wishes

30
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,960


31
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,160


32
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,960
BELLS

33
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,960
My Lord Beringar. We heard
from Subprior Herward of Worcester.

34
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,320
Brother Prior?

35
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:34,960
He asks after two children,
orphans in his keeping.

36
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,000
After the attack on the town
by Empress Maud...

37
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,960
he sent them to shelter here.

38
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,960
Many seek a haven here from war.

39
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,960
But not this pair?

40
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,480
No.

41
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,960
Brother, you asked in the infirmary?

42
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,960
Yes, Father, and among new arrivals.

43
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,960
But there's no report on the road.

44
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,160
Who are these children?

45
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,960
A brother and sister of noble birth.

46
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,960
Yves and Ermina Hugonin.

47
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,960
Their uncle begs leave
to enter Shropshire to seek them.

48
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,960
Why should he need my leave?

49
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,960
Because...

50
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,960
..he supports Empress Maud's
claim to the throne.

51
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,800
Abbot Rodolfus, I was made
Under-Sheriff by King Stephen

52
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,800
to keep his lands from her troops.

53
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,960
He gives his word...

54
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,960
solely to seek the children.

55
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,960
He is a knight, my lord.

56
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,640
A Crusader, late of the Holy Land.

57
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,960
I cannot let
His Grace's enemies roam the shire.

58
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,640
Father, quick!
Brother Oswin is found! He's dying!

59
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,320
Where did you find him?

60
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,960
At first light, by Clee Forest.

61
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,960
I was after a lost sheep.

62
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,960
He needs warmth, or he'll never wake

63
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,000
Hospitaller, heat some stones.

64
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,960
Wrap them in flannel.

65
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,960
He must get to the Infirmary.
Quickly!

66
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,960
CHILD CRYING

67
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,960
I gave him wine,
but his mouth is broken.

68
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,960
No, no.

69
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,960
His wits are battered,
but his head is whole.

70
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,960
Perhaps he should be bled.

71
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,960
He's bled enough as it is.

72
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,800
This knife wound
was meant to finish him.

73
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,160
It turned on his ribs.
They didn't wait to be sure.

74
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,960
'They', Brother?
At least three.

75
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,800
Two held his arms. Here, and here.

76
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,160
Then the third stabbed him.

77
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,960
Why was he so far from home?

78
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,960
He was taking medicine to a holding.

79
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:00,000
The Drewels' farm.

80
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,960
A strange route.
He should not be near Clee Forest.

81
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,960
Such a thing, so close
on the Christmas feast.

82
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,960
Do what you can.
We are at your disposal.

83
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,960
Come, let us pray for Brother Oswin.

84
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,960
Clover?

85
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,960
Brother Jerome, what are you doing?

86
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,960
Praying for our brother.

87
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,800
We dress his wounds. Then you pray.

88
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,000
Not before.

89
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,960
CHOKING

90
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,960
Oswin, easy! You're home now.

91
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:06,960
Father, forgive me!

92
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,640
Hilaria!

93
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,960
To kiss - to kiss her lips.

94
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,960
She was so warm.

95
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,960
I meant no evil.

96
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,160
So young.

97
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,160
So... beautiful.

98
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,960
Pay no heed to what he says
in this condition.

99
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,960
He spoke of lips, Brother!

100
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,960
Of kisses, of a woman in his arms.

101
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,960
Such things are forbidden.

102
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,960
I have told you.

103
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,800
He's not himself. Now be content.

104
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,960
Will he live?

105
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,960
I've done all I can.

106
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,960
But if his will is broken...

107
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,960
Christ, what kind of man does this?

108
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,960
The kind that kills for sport.

109
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,960
Or pleasure.

110
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,960
What if they meet our orphans,
lost on the road?

111
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,960
They left Worcester alone?

112
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,960
A young nun was with them.

113
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Sister Hilaria, tutor to the girl.

114
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,480
She'd be seen. What of the others?

115
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,960
The boy, Yves, is 12,
of middle height.

116
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,160
The girl, Ermina, is 15,
and fair, like her brother.

117
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:57,320
The Subprior wrote she could
be reckoned very beautiful.

118
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,480
Even Subpriors know beauty
when they see it.

119
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,000
Let the uncle seek them.

120
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,960
I admit no Empress's knight
to land I hold for the king.

121
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,960
But they're children!

122
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,960
Are they to be left unlooked for?

123
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,960
Did I say that?

124
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,960
We leave at dawn.

125
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,320
We?

126
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,960
You know this land best,
even under snow.

127
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,160
He's been dead some days.

128
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,320
Two more here.

129
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,960
Killed by the bandits
who attacked Oswin?

130
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,160
They may have come this way.

131
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,960
Certainly.
Drewel's is only a few miles off.

132
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,160
What were they doing here?

133
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,960
Cadfael?

134
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,800
A Crusader's tabard, my lord?

135
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,960
Abbot Rodolfus said the uncle
was a Crusader, from Jerusalem.

136
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,480
It would seem he sent a rescue party

137
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,960
Would you do less
if they were your blood?

138
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,960
They came with good cause, Hugh.

139
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,960
And they have paid.

140
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,960
The uncle is too recent
in the crusades to know you?

141
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,960
It's 26 years since I sailed
from the Holy Land.

142
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,480
It will all be changed now.

143
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,960
Everything?
Even Antioch, and the young widow...

144
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,960
in the Street of Sailmakers?
Mariam?

145
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,960
Mariam was a life ago.

146
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,320
I was 18 when I came there. A boy.

147
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,000
And a seasoned soldier of 30
on your return.

148
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,960
I recall, she graced
your arrival and departure.

149
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,960
So she did.

150
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,960
SNIFFS

151
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,000
What is Master Drewel
burning this time of year?

152
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,960
This was Oswin's destination.

153
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,960
No dead here, except the dogs.

154
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,800
Bandits wouldn't take captives.

155
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,960
They'd kill, not capture.

156
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,960
Not of this simple sort.

157
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,160
My lord.

158
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,320
Who comes upon us?

159
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,960
Hugh Beringar, Under-Sheriff.
My men and Brother Cadfael.

160
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,960
John Drewel, my lord.
At your service.

161
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,960
Forgive the welcome.
I took ye for outlaws.

162
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,960
When did they come?

163
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,960
Four nights ago.

164
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,960
A dozen of them, maybe more.

165
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,960
We could not stand. Only run.

166
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,960
They took my stock.

167
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,800
We escaped, praise God and hounds.

168
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,960
You've no notion who they are?

169
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,960
None.

170
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,160
It seemed they were dressed
as Crusaders.

171
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,960
Master Drewel,
did Brother Oswin come this way?

172
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,160
He did. The day after the attack.

173
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,960
He brought medicine and left at once

174
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,960
For Shrewsbury?

175
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,960
No, Brother.

176
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,960
Having seen us, he feared
for people he had met on the way.

177
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,800
A party in flight from Worcester.

178
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,960
Worcester! You're certain?

179
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,960
He meant to guide them to Shrewsbury

180
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,480
But they went on
to a manor they knew.

181
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,960
He said nothing
of who was in this company?

182
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,960
A boy and girl, with a nun?

183
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,960
He didn't, no.

184
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,480
But a stranger came asking
for such a party.

185
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,960
What was he like?

186
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,960
Not so much as 30.

187
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,960
Five or six and twenty.

188
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,800
Shorter than your lordship, and dark

189
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,960
If you hear of him or the children,
send me word at Shrewsbury.

190
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,960
My lord!

191
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,960
One thing more about the dark man.

192
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,640
He called himself a woodsman.

193
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,960
He kept his cloak about him.

194
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,960
In this cold, no marvel.

195
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,960
But as he went, I saw
how the folds hung at his side.

196
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,960
Woodsman or no, he wore a sword.

197
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,960
To make the most of the light,...

198
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,960
we should separate and search.

199
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:42,960
If there are bandits?

200
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,800
They hunt by night.

201
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,960
If the children fled, we can't wait.

202
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,960
Apart, we cover twice the ground.

203
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,960
Are you sure, Brother?

204
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,320
No. But Brother Oswin
called her name

205
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,960
and spoke of her in his arms.

206
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,800
A mortal sin.

207
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,960
Or ravings.
It could be a result of fever.

208
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,960
What if they aren't?

209
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,960
What else could they be?

210
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,000
Remembrances.

211
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,960
Tell no-one else at present.

212
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,960
Keep close watch on him, Brother.

213
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,960
Steady, boy.

214
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Yves?

215
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,960
I'm Brother Cadfael, of Shrewsbury.

216
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,000
I'm no threat to you.

217
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,960
How do you know me?

218
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,960
You're sought all over the shire!

219
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,960
Where's Ermina and her tutor?

220
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,960
Lost.

221
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,960
I don't know.

222
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,160
We came to Richard's manor...

223
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,960
but bandits attacked.

224
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,160
I tried to follow, but got lost.

225
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,960
Here. You take my cloak.

226
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,960
There.
Let's get you back to Shrewsbury.

227
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,960
HALF ASLEEP: Mina. Find Ermina...

228
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:47,800
We must get home. With luck,
Hugh Beringar has found your sister.

229
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,800
SQUEAKING ICE

230
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,960
This should hold us well enough,
as long as we go carefully.

231
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,960
Wait here for me, boy.

232
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,160
Is anything wrong?

233
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,960
No. I thought
I saw a sheep in the ice.

234
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,960
I was mistaken.

235
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,960
Where was he?

236
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,960
Lost, in Clee Forest.

237
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,960
And his sister?

238
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,480
Watch where you strike.

239
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,960
Subprior Herbert was right.

240
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,480
Lady Ermina was beautiful.

241
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,960
LATIN CHANTING

242
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,960
Straw.

243
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,960
And clover.

244
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,960
Stabbed?

245
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,960
No, there's no wound.

246
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,960
Likely she fought him off.

247
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,960
Or them.

248
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,960
Such vermin hunt best in packs.

249
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,960
Perhaps she drew blood,

250
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,960
clawed face or hand
as she tried to force him away.

251
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,960
She starts to bruise.

252
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,320
Her neck shows she wasn't strangled.

253
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,960
But you see this discoloration
on her lips and chin.

254
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,960
Smothered, surely.
As she was defiled.

255
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,960
Defiled, Brother?

256
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,960
There are signs.

257
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,960
Brother Cadfael?

258
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,960
Brother Cadfael will see you soon.

259
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,960
Go to the guesthouse and wait.

260
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,640
Father, let him come.

261
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,960
He must not!

262
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,960
He's a sensible boy.

263
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,960
We need not pretend
violence does not exist.

264
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,960
Yves?

265
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,960
We have here a dead body...

266
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,960
not known to us.

267
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,640
Will you look at this face?

268
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,960
Brother Cadfael, for shame!

269
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,960
There is nothing to fear.

270
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,960
How can she be here?

271
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,960
Dead!

272
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,960
She went with Brother Oswin!

273
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,960
This is Sister Hilaria,
who came with us from Worcester.

274
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,800
Then where is your sister, Ermina?

275
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,800
Ah!

276
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,960
Shh.

277
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,960
We met Brother Oswin
going to Shrewsbury.

278
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,480
He was bound for Drewel's.
He said we could go too,

279
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:45,960
and he would bring us here.

280
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,960
Why did you not accept?

281
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,960
I wanted to. So did Sister Hilaria.

282
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,960
But Ermina wanted
to reach Richard's manor.

283
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:55,960
Richard?

284
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,960
Richard Boterel.

285
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,160
Her intended husband.

286
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,960
That's what she wanted.

287
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,960
She only left Worcester to go to him

288
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,960
She said we would be safe there.

289
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,960
'Safe.'

290
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:10,960
And what happened?

291
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,960
At his manor, there was celebration.

292
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,960
Ermina wanted Richard
to get a priest to marry them.

293
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,960
All was well at this time?

294
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,960
It was, Father.

295
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,640
But an hour later,
we were woken by blows on the door.

296
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,960
Brother Oswin?

297
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,960
Heaven knows how he found us.

298
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,960
He came to warn us.

299
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,960
Praise God. Minutes later,
the bandits attacked.

300
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,960
What became of Ermina?

301
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,960
Richard, I think,
got her away, but...

302
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,960
it was the fire and fighting.

303
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,960
I ran. We all ran. But...

304
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,960
we lost each other.

305
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,320
And Sister Hilaria?

306
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:53,960
Last I saw,

307
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,000
she ran for the trees
with Brother Oswin.

308
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,960
I prayed that Hilaria and Oswin
had escaped.

309
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,960
No shame in tears,
that are worth shedding.

310
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,960
None of us have not grieved for him.

311
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,960
Oswin is the gentlest of souls.

312
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,960
No threat, no harm to any.

313
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,960
Has he said what happened?

314
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,960
He hasn't woken yet.

315
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,960
But he is healing,
and strengthens daily.

316
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,960
Come. You've seen him now.

317
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,960
The plague needs burning
or it spreads, Cadfael.

318
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,960
We must find their hiding place.

319
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,960
It's wild country.

320
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,960
There are hiding places
for a 1,000 bandits.

321
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,960
Let's see.

322
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,960
I drew this map
to show various herbs in the area.

323
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,160
But it may serve our purpose.

324
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,160
Here's Drewel's holding...

325
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,960
..Boterel's manor,

326
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,480
the field where we found
the rescue party,

327
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,960
and Clee Forest,
where Oswin was found.

328
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,960
Here was Sister Hilaria.

329
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,960
It's a fair distance
from the brook to the forest.

330
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,960
Why, if they ran together?

331
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,960
Hilaria wasn't murdered there,
but elsewhere.

332
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,000
Somewhere with a stack of straw,
and clover.

333
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:40,320
Out of the blizzard
would suit that vile sport.

334
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:44,960
I think we may hear worse
at Boterel's manor.

335
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,960
My Lord Boterel.

336
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,960
My Lord Boterel!

337
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,960
The King's officer,
Hugh Beringar, from Shrewsbury.

338
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:21,960
And a monk.

339
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,000
Brother Cadfael, my lord.

340
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,960
You are most welcome.

341
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,960
God knows we have need of you.

342
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,960
So I see.

343
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,960
You find us in disarray. I have
been in a fever these few days.

344
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,960
My lord, since the Subprior said
they were lost

345
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,960
we have sought Lady Ermina
Hugonin and her companions.

346
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,960
Her brother, Yves, we found.

347
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,960
Alive?

348
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:58,960
Oh, yes.

349
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,960
Praise God!

350
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,960
And Sister Hilaria?

351
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,960
Sister Hilaria is dead.

352
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,960
Defiled and killed, likely
by those who attacked your manor.

353
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,960
Dead!

354
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,640
Oh, God, no.

355
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,960
I thought she got away
with Brother Oswin.

356
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,960
Where is Lady Ermina?

357
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:23,960
Yves said you escaped together.

358
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,960
She is not here.

359
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,960
Nor do I know where she is.

360
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,480
Ah!

361
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,960
The bandit chief will smart
from the nick I gave him.

362
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,640
But in the end
he had the better of me.

363
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,800
How does that feel?

364
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,960
Much better, Brother.

365
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,960
You have a healing touch.

366
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,960
I could do no more.
I had Ermina to save.

367
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,320
I took her and rode
deep into the woods.

368
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,960
How did you come to lose her?

369
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,960
You cannot charge me more bitterly
than I accuse myself.

370
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,960
She was frantic for her brother,
and went to seek him.

371
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,960
You let her go alone?

372
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,960
No! I went after her...

373
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,960
..but lost her in the dark.

374
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,960
I rode some miles.

375
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,960
I fainted from my wounds
and fell from the horse.

376
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,960
Praise God my steward found me.

377
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,800
Well, we must continue our search.

378
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,960
If you hear word,
send for us at Shrewsbury.

379
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,640
I will, my lord.

380
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,960
Now I have my legs again,

381
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,960
I go on looking till she is found.

382
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,960
I think you shall rest your injuries
a day or two longer.

383
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,960
And your mind.
We all have the same quest.

384
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,960
Between us, we shall find Ermina.

385
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,960
A fine man, nursing his grazes
when his bride is lost.

386
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,960
Oh, don't be harsh.

387
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,960
He's suffered much.

388
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,800
Where do we look now?

389
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,960
I fear we must break off.

390
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,480
A storm is coming from the east.

391
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,960
Storm? Hardly a breath of winter
stir this mist.

392
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,960
BELLS RINGING

393
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,640
Well, I must be getting to Vespers.

394
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:55,160
Friar Robert and the Brothers
have my faults by heart.

395
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,960
It wouldn't do to give them
lateness to office as well.

396
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,960
Come back to us, Oswin.

397
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,960
I miss you, boy.

398
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,000
I'll sacrifice a thousand pots
to your clumsiness.

399
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,160
Only come back.

400
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,960
You should be in bed.

401
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,800
I don't want to sleep.

402
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,960
Let me watch over him
until after Vespers.

403
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,000
Has he said anything to help?

404
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,640
He doesn't remember us?

405
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,960
No, not yet. But he may.

406
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,960
You sit with him if you will.

407
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,960


408
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:55,640


409
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:04,960

and to the Holy Spirit.

410
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,000
You are not of this house!

411
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,960
But I feel I should know you.

412
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,960
You have known me a short time.

413
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,960
I'm Yves Hugonin.

414
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,960
You warned us at Boterel's manor.

415
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:29,960
Snow was threatening.

416
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,960
I had medicine to deliver.

417
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:37,960
How did...

418
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,960
Brother Cadfael found me.

419
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,960
Ermina, my sister, is still lost.

420
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,960
There was a third.

421
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,960
In you?

422
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,960
Sister Hilaria.

423
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,960
Hilaria.

424
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,320
Oh! Hilaria!

425
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,320
Where is she?

426
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,160
She is here, Brother.

427
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,960
Tended and coffined.

428
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,480
Awaiting her sisters.

429
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,960
She was ravished and murdered.

430
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,960
Dead? No.

431
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,960
It is forbidden to wish her back.

432
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,960
She is with God.
Aah!

433
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,800
Dead!

434
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,960
Forgive me! What have I done?

435
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,960
Forgive me, Sister!

436
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,960
Forgive my mortal sin!
I have been your death!

437
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,960
Do not vex yourself.

438
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,960
You're too weak to rise.

439
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,960
She clung to me. She had no fear.

440
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,960
So warm and confiding in my arms.

441
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:40,960
Oh, God, forgive me!

442
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,960
Stay with him. I will fetch help.

443
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,960
What have I done?
What have I done?

444
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,480
Oswin!

445
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,960
Deus in filius et spiritus sanctus.

446
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:10,960
Father Abbot, come quickly!
Brother Oswin has gone mad!

447
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,800
Cadfael, it's no good.

448
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,800
We'll never find him.

449
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,960
We must!

450
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,960
It's hopeless!

451
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,640
Any tracks he made are long gone.

452
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,320
We'll try again when it's light.

453
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,960
Come on, come with me. Come on.

454
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,800
Did he say,
"I killed Sister Hilaria"?

455
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,960
Give us his words, Brother Jerome.

456
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:44,960
He said, "Forgive my weakness, my
mortal sin. I have been your death."

457
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,960
Why should he run out...

458
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,960
but he is guilty of something?

459
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,960
His guilt is for the law to decide.

460
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,960
It isn't so
just because one fragment fits.

461
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,960
So clear a fragment
as a confession?

462
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,480
What are you saying?

463
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,960
The rape and murder of a nun?

464
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,960
For my part,
I cannot believe Oswin capable.

465
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,960
Cadfael?

466
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,480
I don't want to believe it.

467
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,960
But they were together.

468
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,320
There! Brother Cadfael
will not defend him!

469
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:19,960
And Oswin is his favourite!

470
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,960
That will do, Brother Jerome.

471
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,960
He may have run with Hilaria
from the manor.

472
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,960
That does not mean he is guilty.

473
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,960
There is blood on her shift.

474
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,960
And Brother Oswin is wounded.

475
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,960
Could he attack her
after such a beating?

476
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:44,640
If he did it first, wounds by
bandits may cover any she gave him.

477
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,960
You might as well say
the earth moves round the sun!

478
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:53,960
An answer to a matter of life
and death must explain all.

479
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,320
If it's the wrong answer?

480
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,960
Truth is never a wrong answer.

481
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,960
Brother Oswin!

482
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,960
Turn back! You'll die out here!

483
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,960
You're ill.
You should be in your bed.

484
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,640
Yves!

485
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,960
Oswin!

486
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,960
Oswin!

487
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,960
Yves!

488
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,960
Yves!

489
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,640
Oswin!

490
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,800
Yves!

491
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,960
Yves!

492
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,960
Oswin.

493
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,960
Oswin, they've come for us.

494
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,960
Hey! Here! Over here!

495
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,960
Praise God, I thought
you'd never find us.

496
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,960
Well, what have we here?

497
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,960
An orphan of the storm.

498
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,960
Let go! How dare you?

499
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,960
Tell them to loose hold.

500
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,960
Guarin, hand me that toy he wears.

501
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,960
Silver, with precious pebbles
set at the hilt.

502
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,960
Very fine.

503
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,960
One of a pair, maybe.

504
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,960
Where is the other?

505
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,960
With your sister, perhaps?
With Ermina?

506
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,960
Oh, yes, my Lord Hugonin.
I know who you are.

507
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,960
Your uncle will pay
handsomely for you.

508
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,960
Bring him. Alive.

509
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,480
Good day, my Lady Ermina.

510
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,960
What happened, child?
Where were you?

511
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,800
With a kind woodsman...

512
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,960
and his wife. I was lost,
after the attack on Richard's manor.

513
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,000
You were coming here
when Brother Cadfael found you?

514
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,960
The woodsman told me the way.

515
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,960
It may be a poor exchange
gaining me, losing Yves.

516
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,640
Daughter, we are overjoyed
to find you well.

517
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,960
If there is anything I can do...

518
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,960
There is one way. Remain here.

519
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,320
Not step outside these walls.

520
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,960
Then your brother can join you.

521
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,960
My Lord Beringar,
you can tell Lord Boterel?

522
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,960
Richard survived?

523
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,960
He did. You behaved very foolishly.

524
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,960
Rather than scold me,
you had better seek Yves.

525
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,000
And my tutor, Sister Hilaria.

526
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,960
I take it there is no word of her...

527
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,000
..or you would have said?

528
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:51,960
This is my work.

529
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,960
Nothing of the kind.

530
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:55,960
A man did this.

531
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,960
He alone must answer for it.

532
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,800
If I had not set my heart
on marrying...

533
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,960
if I had gone
with Brother Oswin,

534
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,960
Sister Hilaria would be alive.

535
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,960
There's no profit in ifs, child.

536
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,960
We go from where we stand.

537
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:18,160
We pay for our own evil,
and leave the rest to God.

538
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,960
Where was God
when she was violated and killed?

539
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,640
He noted all,

540
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,960
and made a place for her
beside him.

541
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,960
Would you wish her back from there?

542
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,960
How can I do such harm,
and mean none?

543
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,960
There you are.

544
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:21,800
Now, my lady, I have some questions.

545
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,960
I expect straight answers.

546
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,960
What woodsman...

547
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,960
brought you here,
but wouldn't meet us?

548
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,960
I was not with a woodsman.

549
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,960
I found my own way here.

550
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,480
The truth, now.
I found footprints,...

551
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,960
much too large for you.

552
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,320
Brother Cadfael?

553
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,960
What would happen
to my uncle's men,

554
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,960
found here in search of us?

555
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,320
They would be held
as prisoners of war.

556
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:58,640
It is the Under-Sheriff's duty.
But not mine.

557
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,960
You would not betray such a man?

558
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,960
I take no sides.

559
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:10,160
I am sure Hugh Beringar
would not expect me to.

560
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:15,160
But I should say, he already knows
of a stranger nearby.

561
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,960
A dark man, with a sword
under his cloak.

562
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,960
His name is Olivier de Bretagne.

563
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,960
Oh, he's French?

564
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,960
Syrian.

565
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:41,960
His mother was Syrian,
his father a knight of the Crusade.

566
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,960
He leant to his father's faith.

567
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,960
He went to Jerusalem,
and took service with my uncle.

568
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,960
He wasn't afraid to come
to these wild regions?

569
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,960
He fears nothing.

570
00:41:55,960 --> 00:42:00,640
He's bravery itself!
If you saw him just once,

571
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,960
you'd hold him in great affection.

572
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,960
Very well.

573
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,960
Your champion is quite safe with me.

574
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,960
I shall not uncover him.

575
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,320
Tell me about Lord Boterel.

576
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,960
I thought I loved him, but...

577
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,960
..it was a childish fancy.

578
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,960
I have brought my brother
into danger.

579
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,960
I never thought to hear myself say,

580
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,960
Yves is more to me than Richard.

581
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:47,960
Strange how the threat of loss
makes us see what we value.

582
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,960
Right. You go back
to the guesthouse and rest.

583
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,960
Le Gauchet!

584
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,960
Must you go?

585
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,960
Yes, Father, I must.

586
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,960
Since Oswin came,

587
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:53,960
he's been a son to me.

588
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,960
I should not have left him with Yves

589
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,960
My folly lost them both.

590
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,960
I must put it right.

591
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,960
And if I order against it?

592
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,000
Then go with my blessing.

593
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,960
Thank you, Father.

594
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,960
So, tell me. Where is your sister?

595
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,960
Bitten your tongue?

596
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:39,960
I speak if I have something to say.

597
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:40,960
Where is she?

598
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,960
When I ask, boy, wise men answer.

599
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,960
You think I would give her to you?

600
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,000
So that she could end
like Sister Hilaria?

601
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,960
I saw what you did, you pig!

602
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,960
Pig, am I? I'd better
teach you how to squeal.

603
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,480
Guarin. Get him to tell
where his sister is.

604
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,960
Break, but no lasting hurt.

605
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,960
His uncle won't pay
if the goods are damaged.

606
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,160
Oswin lay here, Brother.

607
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,960
I almost missed him in the snow.

608
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,960
The brook Hilaria was found in.

609
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,960
How far is it? A mile?

610
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,960
About that.

611
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,000
Tell me, Master Dutton.

612
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,960
Are there places hereabouts
for storing fodder?

613
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,960
There are huts we shepherds use.

614
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Where's the nearest?

615
00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,960
I think I have the better of you.

616
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,960
And I think
we should both have died.

617
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,960
You're quick, for an old man.

618
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,960
And you're careless, for a young one

619
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,960
Always beware the unexpected stroke.

620
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,960
Olivier.

621
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,960
You know my name!

622
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,640
From Ermina, of course.

623
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,960
You're also seeking Yves.

624
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:02,960
And I heard you call 'Oswin'.

625
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:07,000
A brother of my house.
He fell victim to outlaws nearby.

626
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,320
I think they were here last night.

627
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,320
Two sets of tracks lead from the hut

628
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,960
I found this rolled in the straw.

629
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,960
Oswin's travelling cloak!

630
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,960
But he wasn't wearing this
when he left the abbey.

631
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:29,960
Clover.

632
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,960
A nun's habit, and a wimple.

633
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,960
Blood! What does it mean?

634
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:52,320
Did Ermina tell you about her tutor,
Sister Hilaria?

635
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,480
These belong to her.

636
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,960
She was raped and murdered.

637
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:01,960
She was thrown in a brook
not half a mile away.

638
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,960
She was with your Brother Oswin?

639
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,960
Yes.

640
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,160
Come, come.

641
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,960
Let's see where these tracks lead to

642
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,960
These are last night's tracks.

643
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,160
Many men and horses,

644
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,320
as far as I can see.

645
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:41,000
And something dripping blood.
Slaughtered sheep?

646
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,960
If they had red wine in their veins.

647
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,960
You track well for a monk.
But I can follow now.

648
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:57,960
Yves is my charge.

649
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,960
And mine.

650
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:04,960
Oswin has a shadow over him
for the night of Hilaria's death.

651
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,960
It troubles him still.

652
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,960
I see no sign of Yves or Oswin.

653
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,960
Le Gauchet! I should have known.

654
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:32,960
You know the man?

655
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,960
Oh, yes, Brother. I know him.

656
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,960
We were all sent here
to seek Yves and Ermina.

657
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:48,960
I was squire to Captain Reynard.

658
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,960
Wait a minute!

659
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,000
The bandits began as rescuers?

660
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,960
What happened?

661
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,960
Out of their lord's view,
Le Gauchet and the rest mutinied.

662
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:04,960
I and two others remained.
They struck as we slept.

663
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:06,960
How did you escape?

664
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,960
Le Gauchet's parting gift.

665
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,960
You are wounded!

666
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,160
The rest were less fortunate.

667
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,320
What of your captain?

668
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,160
The first to die.

669
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:19,000
Your wound troubles you?
Did you use anything?

670
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,960
You have wisdom?
A little.

671
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:26,640
An unguent of my own.
Centaury and yellow nettle.

672
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,960
Nothing better. You know your herbs.

673
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,160
It was my mother's art.

674
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,640
Tell me, Olivier, your captain,

675
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,960
he wore the tabard of the Cross?

676
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,960
Oh, yes. He led us in the Holy Land.

677
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:41,960
You found him?

678
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,960
Yes.

679
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:48,160
Le Gauchet takes no trouble
to conceal his evil.

680
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,960
But tonight we even the score.

681
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,960
Brat! You are more trouble
than you are worth.

682
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,960
I'll give you something
to remember me by.

683
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:18,480
Aargh!

684
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:21,960
My Lord Hugonin.

685
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,160
Olivier de Bretagne,
at your service.

686
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,960
He is squire to your uncle.

687
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:28,960
Brother Cadfael! How...

688
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,960
I'll explain when we are clear.
Where's Oswin?

689
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,960
He found us a hut. He is there.

690
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,960
Come. We must hurry.

691
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,640
Get him away. I'll buy you time.

692
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,960
On my honour. Get him clear.

693
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,320
AH-AH!

694
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:33,960
Aaagh!

695
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,960
Run, boy! Quickly!

696
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,800
Stand back!

697
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:49,320
Stand off!

698
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,000
If any man draws bow, he dies.

699
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,960
Do as he says - stay back!

700
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:55,960
No! Leave him be!

701
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,960
I've come for him. He is my friend.

702
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,960
You!

703
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,000
Oh, God. I thought
I'd dealt with you.

704
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,480
Run, boy!

705
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,640
Go with God, monk.

706
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,960
If you are done with boys
and monks, fight with a man.

707
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:18,960
Ha! I'll feast on your heart,
half-breed.

708
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,960
SNEERING LAUGH

709
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:01,960
Ugh!

710
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,960
Beware the unexpected stroke.

711
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,960
I wish I knew him better,
your saviour.

712
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,960
Who is he, this paladin?

713
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:48,640
He is... the woodsman
who sheltered Ermina.

714
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,960
Remarkable woodsmen in these parts.

715
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,960
What about these animals, my lord?

716
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,800
Take them back to Shrewsbury.

717
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:01,960
Those who suffered losses
can claim their own.

718
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,000
It's over, then.

719
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,960
The banditry, yes.

720
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,960
Le Gauchet paid for his crimes.

721
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,960
But he must not pay for another's.

722
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,960
He cannot speak in his defence.

723
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:16,960
To say, "This and this I did,

724
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:21,960
"but the rape and murder of a nun
is no deed of mine."

725
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:23,960
Do you doubt it?

726
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:28,960
Well, apart from the fatal wound,
his body is unmarked.

727
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,800
Then it is not his blood
on Hilaria's shift?

728
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:38,320
No. And more, these bandits leave
their victims where they fall.

729
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,960
The murderer hid his crime,

730
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,960
no doubt horrified
by what he'd done.

731
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,960
If I hadn't seen her,

732
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,960
she might have lain frozen
till spring.

733
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,960
You're sure she was moved?

734
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:52,960
Oh, certain.

735
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:57,960
There is a shepherds' hut,
some way from where I found her.

736
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:02,960
They use it to store their fodder.
Straw, clover.

737
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,320
Such as I prised
from her dead fingers.

738
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,000
Her habit and her wimple
were hidden there.

739
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,960
Along with Oswin's cloak.

740
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:34,960
Yves!

741
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:42,960
A fine dance you led us all!

742
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:44,320
Running off into the night!

743
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:45,960
I could say the same!

744
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,000
Yes, you have much to say,
but Yves needs his bed.

745
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:54,320
But, Brother...
No. As your physician, I order it.

746
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,960
My lord. A word.

747
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,960
Prior Robert will see
my Lord Beringar alone.

748
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,960
But if they discuss Brother Oswin...

749
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,960
You are not considered impartial.

750
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:26,000
Not impartial?

751
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,640
You are not the only one with eyes.

752
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,480
You took clover from his hair.

753
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,960
And from Sister Hilaria's hand.
You said nothing.

754
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:36,960
Brother Jerome...

755
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,960
You are not wanted!

756
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:41,960
Now. Be content.

757
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,320
DOOR OPENS

758
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,960
Lord Beringar says
there are doubts

759
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,960
that Sister Hilaria
was killed by bandits.

760
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:29,960
Grave doubts.

761
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:34,320
And you found Oswin's cloak,
stained with blood!

762
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:35,960
Over the heart.

763
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,960
As it was upon her habit and shift.

764
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:43,960
So he lay upon her
to satisfy his carnal thoughts.

765
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:45,960
It is sad to say this.

766
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:48,800
But the sanctity of our house
must be kept.

767
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,480
What if his sins contaminate us?

768
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:55,640
Do you not fear damnation?
Our souls are in peril!

769
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,000
What of Brother Oswin's soul?

770
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,320
BREAKING GLASS

771
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,800
Is that not worth saving?

772
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,960
I fear Brother Oswin is
condemned out of his own mouth.

773
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:11,960
Brother Prior, can you judge a man
sick in mind and body?

774
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:16,960
Our only salvation lies
in strict obedience to the rule.

775
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:21,960
Or there is no order.
Only the chaos beyond these walls.

776
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,960
If the price is an innocent soul -
it is too high!

777
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:27,960
You are cut. I will tend you.

778
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,960
Thank you.

779
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,960
It's my right hand. Brother Prior...
It is the left that bleeds.

780
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,480
The right held the beaker!

781
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:37,960
If you wish to heal, Brother,

782
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:42,160
you might start by learning
left from right.

783
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:46,960
And so might I!

784
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,960
I have been to your hut.

785
00:59:58,960 --> 00:59:59,960
You remember?

786
00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:05,960
Where you and Sister Hilaria took
refuge from the snow.

787
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:06,960
It was so cold, Brother!

788
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:08,960
Indeed.

789
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:14,960
Two poor souls, in such cold,
must lie in each other's arms.

790
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,960
I wanted to lie with her.

791
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,960
Brother, I thought such things.

792
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:23,960
I must have done them.

793
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,960
She is violated and dead.

794
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,800
Her body was hidden in shame.

795
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:36,960
Oswin, thoughts are not deeds.

796
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,960
In the space between
lies your innocence.

797
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,960
I... am innocent?

798
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,960
Oh, beyond all doubt.

799
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:55,960
Your cloak and her habit
were stained, on the same side.

800
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,960
If you had lain upon her,

801
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:06,320
you would have left her habit
stained on the opposite side.

802
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,640
God!

803
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:12,960
That I ever left her!

804
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,960
By that, I am guilty of her death.

805
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:21,960
I should have been strong enough
to bear temptation.

806
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:25,160
Do not blame yourself
beyond your due.

807
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,000
All you did was out of care for her.

808
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,960
What else was required?

809
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:30,960
Courage.

810
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,640
Courage?

811
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,960
What moved you to challenge
Le Gauchet?

812
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,960
You saved Yves' life there,
at the bandits' camp.

813
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:42,960
Wasn't that courage?

814
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,000
I knew her only a few hours.

815
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:05,960
And yet - forgive me, I am unworthy.

816
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:08,960
Oswin.

817
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:10,960
You are the best of us.

818
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,960
But you ask too much of yourself.

819
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,960
You undervalue what you do give.

820
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,960
A happy day, Brother!

821
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,960
I never thought
to see my Pippin again.

822
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:30,960
Animals stolen,
it would prove a lean winter.

823
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,960
Indeed, Master Dutton.

824
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:35,960
Good day, my lord!

825
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:38,960
You have come to reclaim your own.

826
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,960
Aye, Brother.

827
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,960
We are all in your debt.

828
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,960
This fine fellow escaped the raiders

829
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,000
He carried Ermina and me
from the attack.

830
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,960
I'll see him stabled for you.

831
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,480
Thank you, Brother.

832
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:00,960
My Lord Boterel.

833
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,320
I trust I find you in good health.

834
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,960
I am mending, if not mended.

835
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:07,960
Well enough to ride.

836
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,960
My body heals, my lord. My heart..

837
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:11,960
WHICKERING

838
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:13,960
Whoa, whoa.

839
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:17,960
..until Ermina is found,
I will never heal.

840
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:21,960
Forgive me. I meant to ride to
your mother... You have word?

841
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,480
No! But do not despair, my lord.

842
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,640
Your prayers once brought her to you

843
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:31,640
Come into the abbey.

844
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,000
We shall pray for her. Together.

845
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,160
Gladly, Brother.

846
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,160
Daughter! You have a visitor.

847
01:03:51,960 --> 01:03:53,960
Ermina, my love! Why...

848
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,640
..why did you not send word?
I looked for you.

849
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,000
Great mercy you did not find her.

850
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:05,960
She might have shared the fate
of her dear friend.

851
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,960
Coffined here.

852
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,960
Lord Boterel, I accuse you.

853
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,960
I name you murderer
of Sister Hilaria.

854
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:16,960
Brother, what is this?

855
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,960
I know nothing.

856
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:20,320
Nothing?

857
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,000
Nothing of a hut by Clee Forest?

858
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:27,640
A young nun sheltering
from the blizzard,

859
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:30,960
only to fall victim to your lust?

860
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:34,960
Nothing of a freezing brook
on the way home?

861
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:39,320
She was killed by the bandits
who attacked my manor.

862
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:41,960
Oh, yes, of course. Your manor.

863
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:46,960
That's where you came by
your wound, wasn't it, my lord?

864
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:53,960
But you never drew sword
to defend your men - did he?

865
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,800
Ermina, what have you said?

866
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:03,960
She said nothing. Having chosen
a coward, she hid her folly.

867
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,960
I protected my people!

868
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:10,320
You left them to be slaughtered!
All of them!

869
01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:12,000
Including my brother.

870
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:16,960
And forced me to go with you
to 'safety' in the woods.

871
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:22,000
You were not stabbed in combat
by a bandit chief, as you claim.

872
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,960
I saw Le Gauchet fight.

873
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,000
He was right-handed.

874
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:30,960
He would stab to the heart,
as Brother Oswin's wounds show.

875
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,960
I will listen no more!

876
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:37,960
But the blood on Sister Hilaria's
clothes was on the left.

877
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:43,960
So the man who bled on her was
wounded on the right. As you are.

878
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:49,320
But there was one person out
that night who favours the left.

879
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:52,960
Who had a knife,
and the will to use it.

880
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,960
That person was the Lady Ermina.

881
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,640
I said I would never marry a coward.

882
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,960
He did not touch me till then.

883
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:07,480
When he saw he'd lose the land
he stood to gain from my dowry...

884
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:08,960
it was another tale.

885
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:12,960
A common practice,
to take first, then marry.

886
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,000
I thought I'd killed him.

887
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:19,960
But he survived
and followed you into the night.

888
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,320
You came across the shepherd's hut.

889
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:27,800
You found Sister Hilaria,
alone, asleep,

890
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:32,960
wrapped against the cold
in Brother Oswin's cloak.

891
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:34,160
That is not true!

892
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:38,960
You took revenge for all
Ermina had done to you.

893
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,800
No!

894
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:44,960
Her struggles ripped your wound,
and you bled.

895
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,960
Then you stripped her.

896
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:52,960
You left her in the brook
to be counted a bandits' victim.

897
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:53,960
You can prove nothing!

898
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,960
I can prove a grey horse

899
01:06:56,960 --> 01:07:00,320
tore its neck on a nail by the hut
where Sister Hilaria was murdered.

900
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:08,960
I found hairs from its mane
caught on that nail.

901
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:13,800
Shall we match them
to the fine grey you have outside?

902
01:07:14,960 --> 01:07:16,960
No.

903
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:23,960
I only meant to hush her.

904
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,000
Not to kill her.

905
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:34,960
Oh, God, forgive me.

906
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:37,960
Oh, dear God, forgive me.

907
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,480
Please forgive me! Please!

908
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,960
Why did it happen to Hilaria?

909
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,960
The kindest
and most innocent of souls?

910
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:54,960
What had she done?

911
01:07:55,960 --> 01:08:01,960
Friar Robert would say such things
are sent to test our faith.

912
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:06,480
There must be better ways.

913
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,960
TOLLING

914
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,960
Brother Oswin is among us
once again.

915
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:23,320
Welcome home, Brother Oswin.
You've been dearly missed.

916
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,960
Come, join your brothers
in the choir.

917
01:08:41,480 --> 01:08:43,960
DOOR OPENING

918
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:02,960
Wine on the table.

919
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:04,960
And two cups.

920
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,960
You would not leave work unfinished.

921
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:09,960
How did you know?

922
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,960
Beringar guards his prisoner.

923
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:14,960
When better to get away?

924
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,960
Ermina will be here presently.

925
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:22,480
Can you be sure I can be trusted?
You do not know me.

926
01:09:22,480 --> 01:09:24,960
I know more than you think.

927
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,960
I know your name, and who you serve.

928
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:32,960
You are from Syria, of a Syrian
mother and a knight Crusader.

929
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:35,960
Ermina has set her heart on you.

930
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:39,960
And by that amber stare,

931
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,960
that you have set yours on her.

932
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,960
I fear she's somewhat deceived you.

933
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:50,960
And herself.

934
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,960
For Ermina, no Crusader

935
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,640
can be less than a noble knight.

936
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:02,480
My father was a man-at-arms
in Robert of Normandy's force.

937
01:10:02,480 --> 01:10:03,800
And your mother?

938
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,160
A good woman, of Islam.

939
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,480
I am their bastard.

940
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,320
Got between faiths and peoples.

941
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:19,960
For all that, I feel well loved,
and the equal of any man living.

942
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:24,960
Half humankind matches
without ritual blessing.

943
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:26,960
By no means the worse half.

944
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,320
I might imagine you speak
of your own life.

945
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:33,960
I was in the world 40 years
before this.

946
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:37,960
I have been soldier,
sailor, and sinner.

947
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:39,960
Even Crusader.

948
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:45,960
At least that was pure, however
the cause fell short of my hopes.

949
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:49,320
She's dead, your mother?

950
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,160
I'd never have left her otherwise.

951
01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:02,960
She was a poor widow, with a booth
in the market of Antioch,

952
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,960
in the Street of the Sailmakers.

953
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:10,960
What was your father like?

954
01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:14,160
I never knew him.

955
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:17,960
They had been lovers
when he first came to Syria.

956
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:23,480
He left for England from St Simeon
after they last met.

957
01:11:23,480 --> 01:11:25,960
He never knew he had a son.

958
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,960
What was his name?

959
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,960
She would not tell me.

960
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,000
She praised him as brave and kind.

961
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,960
There can be little wrong.

962
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,960
that left her
with such love and pride.

963
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,640
She had the name of your Mary.

964
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:46,960
In our tongue it is Mariam.

965
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:51,960
Perhaps you met her!

966
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:53,960
If you were there.

967
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,960
Or knew my father.

968
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,960
Someone like him, perhaps.

969
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,960
Once, long ago.

970
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:04,960
But your mother...

971
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:12,960
..from what you say, I'm certain
I should have remembered her...

972
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:15,960
..all my life.

973
01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:33,960
Brother, we owe you much.

974
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:37,160
Yves, between friends
there is no owing.

975
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,960
My son.

976
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:52,960
Go in peace.

977
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,480
'This was an unexpected stroke.

978
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:22,960
'I never thought so marvellous
a creature could be in the world,

979
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:27,960
'with my and Mariam's blood
in his veins.

980
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:29,960
'Should I have told him?

981
01:13:31,480 --> 01:13:34,960
'No, what needs he now of a father?

982
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,960
'But by Your grace I have seen him.

983
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:39,960
'We have talked of the past.

984
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:44,960
'I have kissed him,
I have had cause to be glad of him.

985
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,960
'And cause to feel glad lifelong.

986
01:13:49,480 --> 01:13:53,960
'Does it matter if these eyes
never see him again?

987
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:55,960
'And yet they may.'

988
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:21,960
You sent your children away?

989
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:23,960
What else should I do?

990
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:29,960
Their safety was entrusted
to Sister Hilaria. It became mine.

991
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:32,960
I would not have her mission fail.

992
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:43,960
Well. They'll be with their uncle
in good time for Christmas.

993
01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:48,960
I only regret I never met
their guardian, the woodsman.

994
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:50,960
Who was he, Cadfael?

995
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:52,960
He was...

996
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:56,640
He was a son any father
would be proud of.

997
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,480
