Spring 1414

You're crazy.
- About you.

I know how we can stay together.
No one knows us in Cologne.

What's so different there?
- There's a lot of women like me.

Independent. There's even a women's guild.
- Your father won't let you.

It's late. I have to hurry.

I'll wait for you.
Even if it takes two eternities.

THE WHORE

Koblenz, Royal Proclamation

Come one, get over here.

Come.

Don't choke on what you see.

And let your three pontiffs know
their power doesn't move me half as much...

as the bodies of these three ladies.

I'll convene a council
and send two of you to the devil!

One pope is enough
to proclaim me emperor.

CONSTANCE

Did you go to the river again?

No, Aunt Wina.
- I know exactly what you're up to.

Stop it.
Or do you want to bring shame on us?

Father, we need to order more of these.

I'm sorry, I didn't know you had a visitor.
- It's alright, Marie.

You take care of this order.
I'll look at it tonight.

Marie...

You have a jewel here
that can open many doors.

Marie?

Find a noble husband for her.
That's how you get into Sigismund's court.

I don't understand.

The new pope will be elected in council
to be held in Constance in November.

King Sigismund himself will lead the council.
Thousands will be here from all over Europe.

They will need clothes, uniforms, linnen.

You could make a fortune.

The entire aristocracy will be there.
The city will prosper.

Would you know any such aristocrat
who would be suitable for my daughter?

Come to think of it...

Marie would be the ideal wife
for my son Ruppertus.

But he...
- He's a bastard, I know.

But with a dowry,
I could make him Prince Von Keilburg.

He will be the husband who can
give your daughter access to the King.

Checkmate.

My clever girl.
- I could only learn from a clever father.

And now you can do everything.

It's time to decide on your future.

The papal council will change everything.

Yes.

I believe so too.

Our business will flourish.

And you're needed here. Wouldn't it be good
if I'd open a business in Cologne?

You wouldn't have to go there anymore
to buy the fabrics.

Out of the question.
I have other plans for you.

Today I decided that you will
find happiness in another way.

Count Von Keilburg and I have agreed
that you'll marry his son Ruppertus.

You can't be serious. The bastard?
- He will be ligitimized first.

You'll be a countess.
- So that's what you were talking about.

And you didn't ask me. How could you?
- I seized the opportunity.

Commoners don't often ascend to aristocracy.

I don't want to.
Did you forget your promise?

That you could choose your own husband.
Yes, I know.

You've been stalling for years.
And I don't want to know why.

It has been decided.

You'll marry the daughter of Schärer.
She'll bring a large dowry.

And you'll legitimize me?

That's what I said.

I want his house. I need a decent home
during the papal council.

Is that the only reason?
- Marriage is business.

I thought...

I thought you wanted me
as part of the family.

I do. And even better if it benefits all.

What about the Fassbender case?

The charges have been filed.

Did you speak with him?

He wants to marry me off
to the Keilburg family.

He can't do that.

We'll think of something.

I promise.

Don't look at me like that.

Or did you think studying my backside
is all it takes to learn this trade?

Ruppertus.

I was in the area
and I thought I'd pay you a visit.

Linhard, prepare the delivery
and take it to the abbot.

I hope this isn't a bad time?
- No, but it's not necessary.

Marie.

We will be married in four weeks.

Don't you think we should
get to know each other?

Ruppertus, I'm sorry, but...
but I don't want to marry you.

And if I do, it will be under duress.
- But what do you have against me?

This is not about us.
- Many marriages like this work out just fine.

Not mine.

Don't expect love or affection from me.

You can expect them from me.
I've admired you for a long time.

I will not bring you any joy,
I promise you that.

I'm afraid you have no choice.

That's enough.

Michel, bring us a beer.

Do you have something to celebrate?
- On the contrary.

What is it?
- If you really want Marie...

take her, and leave this place.
- What happened?

I'm desperate.
- Ruppertus is a crook, he's ruthless.

He deals in forged bonds.
They cut a deal with Judge Honorius.

If your father learns of this,
he will cancel the marriage.

It's too late.
They're signing the prenuptial agreement now.

My father won't be deceived.

The father of the bride guarantees
that his daughter...

has no physical or mental defects
and enters into the marriage a virgin.

If not, he will be liable...

What is this?
My daughter is as pure as snow.

All our prenuptial agreements
begin with this clause.

It is that way with most noble families.

Without it,
I cannot legitimize Ruppertus.

I can't just walk away.
Not with you, and not on my own.

I can't shame my father like that.

There is another possibility.

If I was to die.

My father's honor would be preserved.

Can you find someone who will testify
that I have drowned?

What about the ligitimization of Ruppertus?
- It has all been prepared.

It will be brought before a judge
before the wedding.

What are you waiting for?

It's almost as if you're not certain
that she is still a virgin.

Of course she is.

Then I see no problem.

Tomorrow, the world will be ours.

Forgive the intrusion.
Where is your niece? Is she here?

No, she is with friends.
What do you want from her?

Charges have been filed against her.

At the ecclesiastical court.
- Charges? For what?

Harlotry.

Tell me at once who is slandering her.
- I don't know.

Harlotry. Who would say such a thing?

You know her!
- I was as surprised as you are.

She is accused of selling herself
to men in exchange for gifts.

Poor Marie.

Is something wrong with father?

Marie Schärer...

you are under arrest
for harlotry and fornication.

Let's go.

Put on that prison frock.
You, lock her up.

Stand guard.

Get out.

No...

Euphemia.

Please help me.

No.

You brought me into this world.

Where is she?
- Calm down.

Let me through.
I will sue you at the highest court.

Calm down or I'll lock you up as well.
- Let me through. I want to see Marie.

Father! They violated me!

Bastards.

No.
No...

No.

No.

There's no one here.
Marie has been put on trial.

Today, before the ecclesiastical court,
appears Marie Schärer.

The charge is harlotry.
- That's not true. I was violated.

The first witness.

Honorable court.
Without a doubt, Marie Schärer...

hasn't been a virgin for a long time.

She's lying!
I could not have done this myself.

Cover yourself, or this trial
will continue without you.

Michel, no.
Listen to me.

If you go in there and lose it,
I will have to lock you up.

She offered herself to me
whenever the master wasn't home.

She was...

insatiable.

Next witness.

I gave her some jewelry for her services.

Yes, that's it.

This court sentences you to 20 lashes
at the pillory...

followed by banishment from Constance.
For life.

All assets of the Schärer family
will be awarded to the Keilburg family...

as indemnification for the breach
of the prenuptial agreement.

However, the Holy Mother Church
can grant clemency...

if Marie Schärer will enter a cloister
and do penance there for the rest of her life.

I won't be locked up. Do what you will
with me and chase me out of town.

I swear I will return...

and all those who did this to me
will burn.

That means you too, Ruppertus.

We'll manage. She's strong.

Give her what she deserves!

Let me through!
Let me through!

Marie!

Marie!

Help her. He's going to kill her!

And now, take her to the city limits.
From now on, she is an outlaw.

Bring me to the water.

Bring me to the water.

Where is she?

You were going to stay with her!

She's dead.

What did you do to her?

She wanted to wash herself.

She walked into the river.

The current took her.

She swims like a fish, you know that.

Marie!

Marie! Marie!
Marie!

Marie Schärer is gone,
the court official told me.

Are you sure?

You doubt my skills with the lash?

No, you need not fear her revenge.

You've done well for yourself
here in the Schärer house.

It would be a shame
if you had to move out again.

Over here.

Leave her.

Gerlind, let go of me.
- Leave her. She'll be dead soon.

Help me.

Put something in her mouth.

You pay for the ointment. Even if she dies.
- Yes.

Marie!
- I swear I'll be back.

Thank the gods.

The horse went crazy.

Do you know who you have saved?

The only heir of Count Palpatine
Ludwig von Rheinpfalz.

My son.

I'm putting together a troop
to secure the road to Constance.

I can use a good soldier.

It's almost healed.

There will be a few faint scars left.

Hiltrud has been dragging you
along for three weeks now, dumb as she is.

Put this on, and wash yourself in the river.

You owe me ten groschen for the medicine.

I have nothing.
- Hopefully that will change.

You're going to make good money.
I can tell.

Don't be a fuss. It will get much worse.
- I'd rather die.

Healthy again?
- Sort of.

Then you're lucky.

Go on, wash this.

Here, you can put this on.

And take care of your hair.
Men like that.

Yellow ribbons...
a whore's dress.

Fita!

I can't wear this.

Fine. Then you'll just have to wear that
and find your own way.

Men will just take what they want
even faster then.

Fita gave our salt to a priest
so he'd take her confession.

If she touches our spices again I will kill her.
Then she gets what she wants.

I'm only doing this until I have
enough money to avenge myself.

Don't think you're special.

We share everything.

What's your name anyway?

Hannah.

Shall I tell you about the first time?

I'm a woman. I know how it works.

Of course.

Did you have it explained to you
the first time?

No. The whoremaster raped me.

Why did you go to a whoremaster?

You've never been poor, have you?

I was sold when I was 12.

I swore never to be dependent
on anyone again.

I belong only to myself.

Off to Merzlingen.

Wouldn't you like to hold something
soft and tender?

Only use your mouth
if you have something to say.

Show them what you have,
or you won't make a penny.

Strip.

Wait.

Is that all?

I guess Schärer wasn't as wealthy as I thought.
You sold all Marie's jewelry?

Yes. And please don't mention her name.
- What?

I did what you asked.
When will you legitimize me?

What are you talking about?

We had a deal.

You marry the daughter
and become Prince of Keilburg.

But I didn't see you marrying her.

Always wash yourself before and after.
- You don't need to tell me...

And the men too.
Insist on it.

If you have to, wash them yourself.
It will only turn them on even more.

And if they try to hurt me?

Here, take this.

Gerlind will show you.
She has experience.

Strike swiftly, and strike firmly.

Don't hesitate.

Harder.
Harder.

Never forget, you only get one chance.

The vein is in the groin.
Where the leg begins on the inside.

Stab him there, and he'll bleed out.

It doesn't even hurt that much.

That's not what I'm afraid of.

I'm just worried those men
will make me sick.

This is for you.

Three drops, no more.
And not too often.

I did it.
- Did what?

I went to a whore.

She said I was better than all other men.

Congratulations.

You should see Hannah.

She's as beautiful as an angel.

I'll save my angels for later.

Faithful to your sweetheart back home?

She need never know.

What would you know?

No, pay me first.

What can I do for you?

You seem like a powerful man.

Can I offer you some wine
- After.

You can wash yourself over there.
- Wash?

Yes. That is how it is with me.

Just come here.

Let me. You'll like it.
- You will do what I tell you to.

Wait, there's plenty of time.
- Let's see if you're worth the money.

Just wait.

What is it?
- She behaves like a virgin. Bit my hand.

I can finish what she started.

I'm not in the mood anymore.

Tell her she owes me.

That just clouds your mind.
You need to be sober if you want to survive.

Hannah.

Give us a hand here.

If you want to stay, then make an effort.
If you don't help out, you need to go.

I need the money.

That much is obvious.

If you make enough with us,
you can hire someone to get your revenge.

I want them to stand trial. To know that it's me
that's sending them to hell.

You'll never get it. Whores have no rights
and they don't get trials.

I will. When I'm on top.

When I have power.
Power over those in power.

Buy from me!
- I have fresh eggs!

Real silk from Cologne
The finest quality, my lady.

Will you give me a good price if take both?
- I'll get you the best price.

Just come with me into the back.

No, today I will pay with cash.

As you wish.
That will be 3½ Kreutzer.

A special price, just for you.

This is not real silk from Cologne.
It's twine from Italy. Here...

It even has flaws in the weaving.
One Kreutzer is more than enough for this.

You're well-dressed for a whore.
- 'Mistress' is a much nicer word.

I serve only one man.

Only one? And he pays for everything?
He must be very rich.

Or so infatuated with me he'll sell everything
for just an hour a day with me.

One hour will suffice?

If you're good enough, yes.
Then you get all of them.

I knew one who even made it
to mistress of the King.

The King?

Sigismund loves his wine, women and song.
But he never holds on to them for long.

But when winter is over,
I'm going to Constance.

I'll make enough money for a lifetime.

So, here you are.

This is Madeleine. She's a mistress.

Pleased to meet you.

She's the same as us.
Men do with her as they do with us.

Even worse, I hear. She probably suffered much
for a dress like that.

I have to go.
Maybe I'll see you again in Constance.

Thank you.

Look at that.

A count's Coat of Arms.

They're gathering whores for the council.
- That's not a whoremaster.

Come, we have to move on.
- You're too dirty.

Lice. You're not women for a noble court.

I'm staying here.

Have you been taking drops again?

Whoever owns that tent has power.
Maybe he can help me.

Don't make it so hard for me.
I have to go.

Thank you for everything.

My lord demands she is young,
healthy and beautiful.

You will be well rewarded.

If you're looking for a girl for your lord...

then you've found her.

Take off your clothes
and let me look at you.

I don't believe you can judge me.
- Go on.

My name is Hannah.
I can be gentle and tender.

And when so desired,
I can provide quick satisfaction.

Get dressed.

I'll take her.
Bring her to my coach.

Picking a whore for your husband?

I can't lie with him
while I'm pregnant.

Do you think I can
live a different life?

I'll come if she comes.

How insolent.
I fear my husband will like that.

Don't spoil my husband with flattery or
tenderness. And no lengthy conversations.

Just satisfy his desires.
Understood?

Yes.
- When you leave his bed, knock on my door.

May I ask why you're doing this?
- Better he lies with whores than with servants.

I don't intend to raise any bastards.

Greetings
- Greetings.

You must be the count's new captain.
- Yes. I'm Michel Adler.

The count guarantees the safety on
his territory of all travellers to Constance.

Then we'll take the opportunity
to put up camp for the night.

Michel?

Marie.

Marie is dead. The woman before you
is called Hannah.

What are you talking about?
You're my Marie.

No one here can know I'm alive.
No one.

A whore?

Find yourself a girl to be your wife.
And let me be what I am.

I'm here for the lord of the castle.

I need men like that.
Rich men with influence.

They can help me.

Help you with what?

I want my honour back. That's what I live for.
I want revenge. I want to see them burn.

Hey, what are you doing?
She's for my lord, don't you dare touch her.

Let's go.

Hannah?

'Hannah'?

Arnstein Castle.

Once it was a ruin in the forest.
Nothing of value.

My degenerate father lost the lands
to the old Arnstein playing cards.

That is how our misery began.

I studied with Dietmar's brother Jodokus
at St. Ottilia's.

He told me how beautiful the castle was,
and how bountiful the wealth.

I can forge the deed.

The Arnsteins have the original.

Jodokus hates his brother like the plague.

He inherited everything,
while Jodokus was forced to become a monk.

He could help us
make the original disappear.

The countess is back.

Mechthild.

Good that you're back. How was did it go?
- You will see.

Welcome back to Castle Arnstein.
- The countess is back.

How is my little knight?
- He missed you. As I have.

The countess is back.
- Did you collect all the levies?

You know my brother is better at that
than I am. Isn't that right, Jodokus?

I have a surprise for you.

Do you like her?

What a wife.
looking after her husband this way.

I've never seen such luxury.

Do you know how to yarn?
- Yes.

Take her downstairs, give her a spindle.
- Yes, madam.

Wash yourself.

I don't want your dirt on me later.

When you're needed,
my maid will come for you.

And take this.

My husband loves rosewater.

Mechtild?
- Yes.

Dietmar asks for you.

Keilburg contests our claim to the castle.
- What?

'Honorouble, Count Von Keilburg'.
The impudence. The filthy swine.

Dietmar, what's the matter?
- He wants an answer. I'll give him an answer.

With my sword.

Dear brother, perhaps it would be best
if you would show him the evidence.

What business is it of yours?
This is not for priests.

Keep the books and pray for our souls.
That's your task.

What is it?
Get out of my sight!

You'll regret this.

Jodokus is right.
- My brother isn't right.

If you attack them
and put yourself in the wrong...

Keilburg will claim he sent no letter
and that you attacked without provocation.

It's a matter for the courts.
- Maybe you're right.

Let me call for Hannah.

You seem to favor black here.

Do you know how to play chess?

I do. But that's not why I am here.

Lie down. Let's get this over with.

Allow me just one move.

Good move. Two more moves and I'm done.

It must be humiliating,
having one's wife procure him a whore.

You can refuse,
and we can play a game of chess.

We'll tell her your virility let you down.

Careful. I'm still your wife's property.

What did Count Von Keilburg do
to upset you so much?

An old property dispute.

But that's none of your business.

Tell me about it. Perhaps I can help you
bring the count to his knees.

All I need is for someone
to put him in front of my sword.

I don't believe in politics.
I leave that to my wife.

And she won't let you see her cards.

The irony.

I finally come close to a man with power...

and his wife is wearing the pants.
- You should take that back.

The next time, we'll just play chess.
I will be less boring for me. Good night.

And...

Did I pick a good playmate for you?

Sure.

She made me wish to be with you again.

Forgive me, Brother Jodokus.

I know I'm unworthy, but...

Can I ask you something?
- Yes.

Can you take my confession? It's been so long.
- I can.

Praise Jesus Christ.
- Through all eternity, Amen.

In the name of the father,
the Son and the Holy Spirit,

I confess my sins before God.

What weighs me most is the lewd things
I must do in order to survive.

I find it hard to talk about.

But you have to, my child.

Only if you speak honestly and in detail
will I be able to absolve you of your sins.

I was innocent. And a virgin.

I saved myself for one man.

They charged me with harlotry.

They tied me to the stake.

Practically naked,
my body was savagely flogged.

I had never felt such pain.

You make me feel good.

My entire body relishes your presence.

There's unrest at this castle.

What do you mean?
- A messenger came.

Now the lord of the castle is furious
and I worry about my residence here.

God will protect you
if you promise Him humility.

I can promise a lot more
to a man who will protect me.

What kind of protection do you seek?

What do you know of Count Von Keilburg?

I never want to see you near him again.

I want to be alone to pray.

CONSTANCE, SPRING 1415

Long live the King!

Captain, I wouldn't like to do without you.

I don't believe it.
You're a captain now.

Is anyone from Marie's family still alive?
- No.

Wina Schärer, her aunt?
- She died in the asylum.

And the Von Keilburgs live happily
ever after in their beautiful house.

And Linhard Merk, their servant?

He became a monk.

Did you get a response?
- Jodokus writes that Dietmar was furious.

He almost showed him the hidden deed
but his wife prevented it.

I hate a woman with a brain.

We can present this deed to the Judge.
It proves our claim to the Arnstein estate.

It's a good forgery.

But what about the original?

I'll find out where it is
and it will disappear.

We need more hot water.

Ruppertus.

Who's that girl?

A whore. Hannah.

Ruppertus Von Keilburg, you have travelled far
and yet come here at a bad time.

Couldn't this wait until we arrive in Constance?
- I'm here to prevent unnecessary litigation.

Unnecessary indeed, as your father well knows.

He insists on filing charges against you.

My family never got over a drunk ancestor
losing this estate at a game of cards.

And not even a deed to prove it.
- Nonsense. I have the deed safely stored away.

Can I have the deed to present it
to Constance's city council?

You're just as impudent as your father.
- Maybe a brief glance will suffice?

Just to confirm the seal is legal.
- That is not for you to judge.

But fine with me,
if that will end this dispute.

Here, signed by the abbot of St. Ottilia's.
That should be enough evidence.

Thank you. I thought as much.
This resolves everything.

I apologize, my father's become a but stubborn.
- Never mind. I have to see Mechtild.

You'll get the rest
when I have the original.

Jodokus, that whore Hannah...

she reminds me of a dead girl.

The Lord punishes us
with such delusions.

For our lascivious thoughts.

My past has caught up with me.

What do you mean?

I want to get out of here.
- We can't just leave.

Alone through the forest?

I don't have a cart,
and you haven't gotten paid yet.

Don't you want your revenge?

You may be closer than ever before.
Think carefully.

Jodokus.
I have to be faster than he is.

I have to go.

A mission for Dietmar.

I heard you talking to Ruppertus Von Keilburg.
I know about the deed.

Everyone will know it was you.

You're a whore. God will forgive me.
- Perhaps He will. But you won't.

You'll forever regret not giving in
to your feelings of lust.

We both strive for a new life.

With this deed...

You can get freedom and money for yourself.

And perhaps for me as well,
if I take care of you.

You are the sin
that God tempts me with.

Yes, I'm your sin.

Come to Schaffhausen.

I'll leave you a message
at the tavern by the Rhine.

Make sure to come.

Hannah.
- I want to propose a deal.

How dare you!
get out of here!

Jodokus has stolen your property deed
for Ruppertus.

What? How do you know that?
- I caught him in the act.

She's lying.

Careful.

Come here.
Come here.

Why didn't you stop him?

He would have killed me.

But I know where he's going.

I'll kill the bastard.

Come with me.
- Dietmar, no.

Enough.

I want to know where Jodokus went.

You'll only find out
after you accept my proposal.

Stop it. Are you crazy?
You'll kill her!

Mechtild, our property's at stake.
And that whore is in league with them.

She's of no use to us dead.

Leave me alone with her.

What do you want?

I will find out when Jodokus intends
to hand the deed to the Keilburgs.

You can arrest them as thieves
and your problems are over.

What do you want in return?
- I want you to present me to the King.

A whore wants to meet the King.

How presumptuous.

A King is a good match.

I'll let you go.

But if you deceive us, what just happened
is nothing compared to what I will do to you.

Look at me.
We will meet again in Constance.

Jodokus calls himself Ewald Von Marburg now.

Where can I find him?
- In Schaffhausen.

He has a document on him.

Take it from him and kill him.
- Alright.

If you see a woman with him...

get rid of her.

He calls himself Ewald Von Marburg.
He's staying at a mill nearby.

Let's go there.

Jodokus is suspicious.
If I'm not alone I'll never get the deed.

Jodokus.

Where is it? Where did you hide it?
- Come here.

You haven't brought me any luck.

You...

Come home, it's late.

We have to go. I set fire to the mill,
so they won't find the bodies.

I have to send word to Mechtild.

The mill at Shaffhausen burned down.
In it were two unrecognizable bodies.

Wonderful.
Then the original was burned as well.

A whore was asking about Ewald Von Marburg.

So what? The Arnsteins have no evidence.
We can file charges now.

What if it really was Marie...

You'll be a countess.
- I arrest you for fornication...

and harlotry.

Come.
Let me, please.

That's not for everyone.

I totally agree.

You're here.

I have Hannah with me.
She's exhausted.

Come in.
My house is so large.

Go on, come here.

Come on, come to me.

Who do we have here?

Look who we've got here.
Let's show her.

No!
Let me go!

No!

You owe me one.
It will do for all of us.

Come on, don't make a fuss.

Go back to camp.
I'll be there in the morning.

Why did you bring me here?
Let me down.

Marie.
- Hannah. Or did you forget?

Whatever. If anyone in Constance
recognizes you, they'll kill you.

Yes, dead.

I killed Utz. I must reach the King,
and tell the Arnsteins I have the deed.

Marie, calm down.
I don't understand a word of this.

Talk to me.

That deal with the Arnsteins is madness.

My men can take you away.
- I don't want to go. I don't fear death.

I need a friend.
You have to help me, I can't do this alone.

Let's assume the Arnsteins bring you before the King.
What will you do then?

Everyone who knows me can testify that I'm innocent.
Even those that raped me.

I'd kill each one myself, but I won't
help you stay here and go to your death.

My life is worth nothing anymore.

It's nothing without my honour.

Nothing.

Not even with me?
- Not even with you.

If you're looking for whores,
I can get you them at half price.

And my beds are clean.
- Hey, don't go.

I was afraid you hadn't made it.

What about the deed?
- It's safe. Safe enough that you won't find it.

Not unless you present me to the King.
- You should be locked up for that tone.

Your tone is unbecoming
of a lady just as much.

There is a lot of unbecoming
of us ladies.

But we can't leave everything
up to the stupidity of men.

There's a feast tonight.
I can present you to the King there.

That can't be true.
- As agreed.

What's going on here?
- The women of Constance are ruining our business.

They take in men when their husbands leave.

They can be had for a Pfennig.
But the whores are flocking together.

The city council needs to do something.

I need something to wear to the the feast
at the count's palatine tonight.

If you put your seal on it,
I can file it with the city registrar.

Let's wait until we win
the lawsuit for the castle.

I won't let you put this off any longer.

I have documents that would
send you to the gallows.

You wouldn't dare, you...

I don't even have to leave the house
to make your crimes public.

If I'm not prince of Keilburg
by tomorrow morning...

everything will come to light.
Even if you kill me now.

But I'm your father.

Exactly.

Do you have the deed?

My agreement is with your wife.
Not with you.

Don't overestimate yourself.
There are many here like you.

Let me through.

I don't remember inviting you.
- Are you sure? Let me through.

She's had too much wine. it often makes
us women forget our proper place.

Come on.

You look like someone who
wants to part with his money.

What about me?
- You're as good as anyone with teeth.

Is this where the King lives?
- No. It is where he receives his women.

What are you doing?

Making sure you're not carrying a knife.

I can't feel if you have any diseases.
You'll be paid tomorrow.

I can tell you prefer women
you can mount for free.

You'll only get one like me
in your dreams.

For Mechtild von Arnstein.
She's waiting for it.

Displease the King,
and the dungeons will await you.

Prince Von Keilburg.

You can go.

Show yourself, girl.

I don't like games.
- Those who don't like games don't know love.

I hope you know what happens
to girls who are sassy with me.

Sassiness is a strong weapon
against the monotony of love.

At least your tongue is a sharp weapon.
Hopefully not just for talking.

What my tongue can do you will have to find out
for yourself. But that won't be so easy.

What shouldn't be so easy.

Give me your word.
if my tongue gives you pleasure...

I want your mouth to pronounce judgement.

An amusing deal proposed to me by a whore.

Should I be worried, girl?

Of course you should.

Hannah. That means 'graceful'. Your parents
couldn't have picked a better name.

My parents didn't pick it. I...
- Never mind, no whore's tales for me.

What judgement do you want from me?
- Forgive me, your majesty.

The city council's here.
They're scandalized by the tumult.

Pay her well.
I'm going to get dressed.

God help you.

I've been recognized. he knows I'm here.
He'll do anything to kill me.

What about the King?
He won't help you?

We were interrupted.

The whores are in the streets.
We're going to the King.

Hannah, to the King.

Michel, what are you doing?

You can't lay down your arms.
You're our captain.

Not any longer.

The women of Constance
are stealing our customers.

The city council looks the other way.
We must stand up for ourselves.

We're going to see the King.

The streets are in chaos.
The whores are rioting.

Tell someone else.
There's plenty of other soldiers.

She was leading them. Hannah.

Go away. You shouldn't be seen by the bishops.

Holy Mother Church has nothing against us.

We've been with more of its servants
than this city can hold.

We wish to see the King.
- Leave the square.

We want out rights
- And our money.

We're not turning back.
- We want to see the King.

You will leave the square!
- The King.

Let us through.

Let us through.

Majesty, I'd have the square cleared.

Ruppertus isn't here.

Then you can't denounce him.
- So just the father.

We've come on behalf of all the whores...

who are here by invitation of this city.
- Majesty, this is ridiculous.

The city council looks after
the interests of the whores.

Leave her. I want to hear
what she has to say.

We have to pay enormous amounts in rent...

and the women of Constance
take our customers away.

They give themselves away
for a handful of Pfennigs.

If Constance can't warrant the whores' rights
then the whores will leave Constance.

See to it that from now on
laws and regulations are observed.

What about girls who were violated
and falsely accused of harlotry?

What judgment can they expect from you?

Come here, you whore.
Come here, whore.

Let her go.

I am Marie Schärer.

Citizen of Constance.

The Von Keilburgs, father and son,
with the help of Judge Von Rottlingen...

and bailiff Hunold,
had me violated and slandered as whore.

Majesty, it's true.

She did the worst thing to him
a woman can do to a man.

For he loved her without knowing she
practiced fornication and harlotry.

But that is not Marie Schärer.
Marie Schärer is dead.

Indeed. My coroners can testify to that.
- I'm not dead. I'm standing right here.

Citizens of Constance,
you know me!

Come here, you whore.

If you need a witness, I have one.
Linhard, the old servant of the Schärers.

Tell them or I will break your neck.

Marie Schärer is innocent.
It's true they violated her.

Forgive me, Marie.

Arrest him.

You whore.

Ruppertus Von Keilburg.
That means the whore spoke the truth.

You filthy bastard.

The complaints of citizen Marie Schärer
are found to be valid.

Take her into your care.
Take the accused into custody.

Arrest the judge.
- Your Majesty...

Your sword.

Come along.

Was this the judgment
you wanted to hear from me, Marie?

Answer him. I've had worse inside me
and nothing has killed me just yet.

Yes, your majesty, it is.

Justice for all.
- Long live the King.

Long live Sigismund.

Marie Schärer, the Holy Mother Church...

absolves you from all your sins...

and rehabilitates your innocence.

There he comes.

A promise from another time,
from a girl who loved me very much.

She still would if she could.

What are you doing here?

I wanted once more to see
the place where I was so happy.

Alone?

I'd only make you unhappy.

I'm no longer the innocent girl I was.
I'll never be her again.

The woman I see before me
is more innocent than any other.

I'll wait for you.
Even if it takes two eternities.
