Sir, there's plague in the region.

And you're worried about it?

What's the matter with you when you know that our mission here is sacred?

Providence remains on our side.

Now let's finish eating. Then we'll sleep for a few hours before proceeding

on our journey.

We have a long way to go before Periek.

And the journey will be very hard.

Male and female witches deny God his law?

The virgin and the saints instead make offerings to Satan, who gives them

pleasure and riches in return.

Fear, dismount. You come with me.

Come, let's go.

I want you to meet the plague face to face.

Nicholas, you'll wait here.

Come with me.

I love you, Joe.

Katherine, before long you'll be my wife.

I swear it.

You'll really marry me? You're not just saying it.

You're the only woman for me.

Just you.

Just you.

You know my father?

He would kill me if he knew that I had given myself to you.

It's our secret, Catherine.

Oh my God, it's almost dark. I must go.

Every day we return home later.

And every day we make up new lives.

I only trust that the Virgin Mary protects us if your father finds out.

John's going to marry me. He promised it. And I hope it's soon.

Why won't he talk to your father? Because he wants to go to Toulouse.

He must first ask for his uncle's blessing, then when he returns he'll

talk to my father.

May God help us in our crossing the road.

And at night, Jed.

Miss Fortune will befall us.

This is the most beautiful wedding dress I've ever seen, believe me.

Beautiful, yes, but I'm sure that Gaston would rather see her when she's not

wearing anything.

Gaston is a very handsome man.

I'm envious of you, but I must compliment you on your choice.

I just know that the two of you will have many children.

Gaston is very virile, I would think.

Stop making fun of Michelle.

You're envious.

It's just that Gaston is so attractive and so rich.

Any one of us would love to be married to him.

That means you as well.

Isn't it so?

Quit all this gossiping and hell.

the ribbons that you requested.

Villagers in La Grasse and Tuchon are dying like rats.

They say there aren't enough graves there to bury them.

And when they die in the streets, that's where they're left.

We must trust in the Virgin Mary.

We must pray that no one gets sick here in Periak. Help us. Save us, Lord.

You return later each day.

Well, it's the sacristan's fault.

He was talking and there's no stopping him, you know. Why are you still around?

Get out of here.

My orders were to get some potatoes for the kitchen.

I mean now.

He promised me, Ovir. He promised me that as soon as he returns from

Toulouse, he'll talk to my father.

But father has been asking where you were.

I think he was worried.

He has some guests that have arrived from Paris.

They're very important.

We'll prepare a wonderful dinner.

In La Borde, we discovered 300 people who had given themselves to the devil.

Only 50 of them were men. The rest, women.

Because, as I imagine you have heard, the evil one always prefers to use women

for his evil business.

That's the custom, it seems.

Yes, sir, I know.

I know.

The contention is, women are weaker.

This is Catherine.

She's my daughter.

Father, dinner is ready to be served whenever you wish. Then serve it now.

Gentlemen, I trust you will understand that our humble dinner isn't as lavish

as what you receive at court.

But we share it with you, with our best regards.

Catherine, right now, go.

Yes, Father.

The journey has been very difficult, but duty forces us to make such sacrifices

for the good of everyone.

We have determined that we must seek out and punish all of those in this region

who have made a pact to serve the devil.

We have received information.

We know that witches and warlocks are growing more numerous every day in this

area. Yes, you're right.

We good Christians become more fearful every day. Our fields are now barren.

Our wives, why they're no longer even able to have children. Our cows die from

no apparent reason. And we are threatened by the plague.

In Axe, as well as in Laborde, we tortured and burned over 200 warlocks

who confessed.

And that included several who were quite prominent.

A surgeon.

Men who were even magistrates.

Men just like yourself.

It was difficult and very complicated.

But I completed my job.

An end was put to the heresy.

The same will be done here.

Ladies and gentlemen, citizens of Perriac, this afternoon the Matador

Theatre Company will perform the very finest plays in its repertory. Come one,

come all!

Thank you, noble sir.

That's right, midget. Savor your Judas money.

Go on, Martineau, read it.

This notice is to make the entire community aware that without exception,

everyone should come to this church tomorrow at the Angelus Hour to receive

instructions as to their obligations regarding the great offense of heresy.

Signed, Judge Bernard de Fossey.

After carefully studying the Malleus Malva Carme of Instator and Springer,

the garden of the curious flowers of Torquemada, and the formicarius of

Nidor, I have come to recognize that the devil is the same devil everywhere.

Likewise, the Sabbat is always the same.

Come in.

My father asked that I bring you gentlemen something to eat.

On the table over there.

Then thank your father and inform him that he will not be able to eat with us

tonight. We will be working throughout the evening until morning.

Young lady.

Yes, sir?

Nothing. You may leave us.

Dirty beggar! He's gonna pay.

Mobile?

Hello, Madeleine.

Somehow I knew that you would come.

Please enter

The

men that are at the house of my master

they have nailed proclamations everywhere and shouted them throughout

the streets All of us are threatened.

They are powerless my dear to harm me One of them is in Carcassonne and will

return with a lot of soldiers.

They will soon begin the persecutions.

Madeleine, just say it.

Mabille, you know how I feel about Catherine.

Her family's taken care of me since my parents were murdered.

I've been raised as one of them.

I know.

And now what did you come here to ask of me?

Catherine pines for a young man.

She loves him so.

He's more important to her than life itself, I'm afraid.

He's promised that he'll marry her.

It would seem that you do not believe he'll keep his promise, is that it?

If he were not to keep it, she'd die.

And you want them to be united forever so that he can never leave her.

Then you must prepare this potion.

Pay close attention, because the least little error in its preparation could

bring disaster.

Alms for the poor, my noble lord. May God bless you.

What is it?

I have something to tell you, my lord.

Well, tell me.

Well, it's just that the other day, after your associate had given some

coins to a midget who was begging for money, a woman named Odile was heard to

say that he was a Judas.

And the youngest daughter of Michelet saw her in the company of Peril the

baker. They were in the mountains. They were urinating in this hole they dug in

the ground, and then they were mixing it with their hands.

And then...

smoke rose up in the guise of the devil and a great hail came and destroyed our

harvest the other day she was seen returning to her house

Catherine, I need you to know my life wouldn't be complete without you.

I love you.

I made a deal with Maurice.

When I returned from Toulouse, it's mine.

He said the land is mine.

The crops are already in, and with a little work, there will be a bountiful

harvest.

My brother will lend us all we need.

Catherine, I want children.

To hear the laughter around us.

To give us many, many grandchildren.

John, hold me.

I'm so afraid.

Hey.

That's enough of that.

Be strong in our love.

We won't let it be ever taken away from us.

Jean, come back soon.

I need you so much, my love.

I don't know if I can take your being gone.

I love you, Catherine.

I love you, my wife.

Catherine, don't worry.

John will return soon from Toulouse and love you more than ever.

I'm afraid, Madeline.

I need him so much, and if I were to lose him...

Was he pleased with the wine?

Yes. He said to thank you.

Catherine, nothing can separate the two of you.

He'll return and marry you. I know it.

It was a Friday, and Odile and Peril came for me. They made me undress and

gave me some ointments.

Continue. It was at night, and we mounted three different animals.

Odile on a black dog, Peril was on a large bat, and I was on a lizard. A

lizard, you say?

Yes, sir, a very large lizard.

But it wasn't green like regular ones are. It was red, blood red.

And then?

We flew way up high in the air. We stopped on a mountain.

Where I never was before, we saw men and these women dancing, and some of them

had masks on. This black male goat with three horns on his forehead was seated

on this golden throne.

Everyone there would kneel before him.

Many, many children were playing with these large green bullfrogs, and many

demons were jumping around with lighted candles in their hands.

And when I saw this, I was so scared.

I said, my God, what is this?

Then everything disappeared all of a sudden, and I found myself alone and

lost on the mountain.

If I hadn't come across some woodsman, I would have died of hunger and cold.

Miserable scum. Here.

Apprehend them immediately.

Yes. Yes, my lord.

Noble ladies, some alms for the poor, and God will bless you.

Please help for the love of God.

Alms for the poor.

Alms. Alms, good sister.

They'll burn them after they're tortured.

Odile and Paril have always been good.

They've never harmed anyone.

I don't believe they're witches.

But they were seen with men, I've heard.

Being in love is no sin.

To love one man, yes.

But not to love so many.

There's one man.

The judge.

Damn him to hell.

The embodiment of the devil who father invites to stay with us.

Watch what you say.

They could hear you.

Confess you are a witch.

No, it's not true.

It's not true.

Confess you've been to the Sabbat and you have been a Satanist.

Confess it.

No, that's not true.

That's not true.

Confess that you've created tempests and carnally known the devil himself.

I'm not a witch.

I'm not.

Confess and your days will go a lot easier.

Confess it.

Get

the

other one.

Maybe her resistance will not be as great.

You confess to having adored the devil and having given of yourself to him in

the company of Odell de Frem?

No, that is slanderous. It's not the truth.

No! No!

You confess to having intimate and carnal knowledge of demons.

No, I'm not a witch. I'm not a witch.

Witch you are. No!

Confess it. No!

Have mercy, sir.

Please have mercy.

Just have mercy.

I'll confess everything.

I'll confess.

Take her down.

For how long have you had dealings with the devil?

It was four years ago.

One night a young man dressed in black came to me and asked if I would be his

lover for the rest of my life.

And I said that I would.

And then he gave me a hat filled with... bright golden coins.

And he took me to the Sabbat.

And there I met Odile.

I've been a witch ever since.

What was the name of this devil?

It was Berdoso, sir, Berdoso.

In the name of the High Tribunal, let it be known that Odile de Frem and Peril

Guiguerre have been convicted as confessors to the grave crime of

witchcraft and are condemned to be burned alive until their bodies turn to

ashes. Their earthly possessions are to be confiscated for the benefit of said

High Tribunal.

This evening they'll be burned.

At the crossing, at Chastel Chabot.

Those things will die for nothing.

What are you saying, Emil?

They're witches.

They have confessed.

After having suffered the most terrible torture.

Under such conditions, I would say that I was Merlin the magician.

There's no crime as terrible as making a pact with the devil.

You know what it is, Armand.

Those creatures that worship the devil, that assist in the Sabbat, and practice

witchcraft, are poor, desperate, unhappy people who are rebelling against hunger,

against illness and misery.

Against the tyranny of powerful rulers. My friend, it is very dangerous for you

to be saying that. That is why they invent all of it.

They need that. Someone powerful who's on their side.

I'm convinced that the majority of the witches that are burned are only poor,

sick folks.

Ignorant and frightened.

They believe that they can fly high in the air.

When the only thing they can really do is bundle in their beds and dream.

Emil. They'll burn you too.

You're my best friend.

I wouldn't want to see it.

It's possible.

I realize what it costs to tell the truth in such times as these.

The vixen entered the chicken coop and started to kill the chickens.

The noise woke up Gaston, the oldest brother.

He entered the chicken coop and he found her there.

He threw a rock at her, at the back of one of her legs, the left one.

He said she screamed like a woman.

Then the next day, Denise, that's the one in the chicken coop, was limping on

her left leg.

And then this Denise was seen giving a kiss to this boy.

And a few hours later, he died of fever.

Please help me to deliver these souls of evil.

My Lord, my God.

Come in.

Excuse me, sir.

If it's all right, I'll light the fire for you. You may do so.

What do you think of the devil?

Come on.

Tell me.

Tell me.

Sir, I only know what everyone knows.

He's man's enemy.

He's the cause of all the world's evil and calamity.

Come.

I have something to show you.

Or to defeat an enemy.

It's important to know him.

There are 72 infernal princes, my child, commanding 7,000 demons.

There is Satan, the emperor, the rebel angel and evil serpent of paradise.

This is Belzebul, prince of the demons.

Asmodeo, superintendent of hell.

Asteron, the great occidental duke and infernal treasurer.

Belphegor, the marshal. He rules over 70 legions of demons.

Excuse me, sir, but I have to leave now. Wait.

Don't go yet.

They're very powerful.

They're around us all of the time, always looking for a way to condemn us

to eternal fire.

You'll find them anywhere.

They may assume any form, because a husband in bed may be embracing his wife

when he's really embracing a horrible devil.

The husband...

May also be a devil.

They are everywhere.

Sir, let go of me, please. Just be careful.

You love somebody.

I know it.

He was returning from Toulouse when he was killed.

He was stabbed brutally.

Since that day, Catherine's been bad.

Very feeble.

She just won't eat. She won't see anyone.

If I'm unable to help her, she may die.

I will cure her.

But you have to do everything that I tell you.

Everything.

First, you'll bring her here.

Yeah.

Surgeon, my daughter is getting worse.

What's wrong?

She's physically all right.

It's her spirit that's the problem.

She'll be cured only if she has the will to do it.

Demons have now possessed her soul.

That's what the matter is.

Someone has put a curse on her.

You know I don't believe in such things.

Your daughter has suffered some emotional tragedy.

But she'll recuperate from this melancholy.

She'll cure this thing by herself.

I know what I must do.

Levis. Catherine.

Your father believes that you are possessed.

And he has asked me to intervene.

I know the pain you must be feeling.

I know the reason for that pain.

The death of Jean Duprat.

I know how it is.

You're very young and beautiful.

You will find another man.

Why don't you look around?

Maybe he's near you.

Your melancholy is a welcome invitation to the devil.

Forget him, and happiness will come.

I'll tell your father you're all right.

I will hold secret your pain.

But do not ever forget what I have said.

Never give in to a demon.

Jean.

Jean.

Madeline.

Catherine.

Catherine, what's wrong?

I dreamed about Jean's death.

It wasn't a robbery.

I saw a man with no face who paid to have Jean killed.

I will talk to Mobile.

It was a message from Jean.

So I should discover who did this.

I must see the face of this man.

I must know who he is.

I will see that he pays.

Is it not true that you were turned into a vixen and entered the demonious

chicken coop and killed all of the chickens?

No, it's not true. It's not true.

You kissed the lips of the son of Catalina Cantaloupe.

And the boy died of fever.

Confess it.

I kissed him.

But I have no power. No power to kill.

Cause grave evils to Michelle Renoir, making her throw up toads, spiders, and

many other disgusting creatures.

Confess that you are a witch.

Sir, please have mercy.

You don't want to torture my body. You want my very soul.

But you will have to face my savior one day.

You will.

Come now.

Confess. Confess.

Oh, my God.

Pardon these.

These.

Evil man.

Well proceed.

She must confess.

Sir, this woman's dead.

No matter, we must carry out the sentence.

Her body must be burned and reduced to ashes.

She must see the assassin's face.

She will not think of anything else.

Her man's death is an obsession with her.

I know how it is.

I myself was in love with a man who was killed like that.

I'll help her find out.

We'll discover together who the man was that did it.

You know my lord that I serve below is master of all.

Ever since that judge talked to her, Catherine's done much better.

Yes, so I've noticed.

And I've also noticed the great interest that the magistrate has started to show

in your daughter.

Alvire, could you bring your sister here?

I'd like her to greet the surgeon.

Father, she's gone with Madeline.

All right.

Well, you may continue with your duties.

He knows his job well, your magistrate.

He wastes no time in reading this of warlocks and witches.

The arrests that he's made have been numerous.

Husbands turning in their wives, their children, their parents.

Everyone lives with the awful fear that at any moment they may be next in the

bonfire. We do what we must.

He's a man of honor.

He's a fanatic and a visionary who's dangerous.

You know what I think of those poor unfortunates who fall into the hands of

this man.

They all receive a fair trial and pay the price for their crimes as deserved.

This will one day be a shameful legacy for our children.

What you are saying is heretical, surgeon.

You should be careful. Turn me in.

That way you won't have to worry about me any longer.

What's the matter, Lewis?

This is your wife?

Yes.

Yes, sir, she is.

Don't let her touch the floor. You have denounced your own wife.

Fine, I am reported to your own wife. May you rot in hell.

Now show us the proof.

Right away.

Yes. Yes, sir.

It's us, Pierre.

My God, it's us.

Lucifer, punish your enemies, oh lord of the night.

Destroy them all.

Apprehender.

Apprehender! Take that, would you?

No! Grandmother! Grandmother!

Let them all burn!

Bernard. Come.

Come to me.

Master will reveal the identity of the person who has Jean killed.

No matter how powerful he is, you will be able to take revenge on him.

But in return for this help, you must promise to worship and adore him.

I will do anything that's necessary.

Here in this book, you'll find all of the instructions you'll need regarding

the precepts that you must follow to go through the ritual of initiation.

Belzebub, Asteroth, Nebidos, princes of the inferno,

help me to obtain the favors of your great emperor, Lucifer.

Tonight you will greet the master who you will serve from now on.

He will grant you anything, but you must serve him faithfully.

He'll come for you in a while and take you to the Sabbat.

There, our great Lord of Darkness will welcome you.

and reside in the assembly of my Lord.

or if you will faithfully serve me.

If your good father dies, who will take care of the two of you?

Sir, Surgeon Emile Danot is father's best friend, and he has asked him to be

our tutor.

I don't believe that's adequate.

His ideas are most unconventional.

I will speak to your father about this.

But, sir... No.

I'm asking no thanks.

I only want the best for you.

I will find somebody better.

Sir, please, I beg you. Let my father die in peace.

He expressed his wish plainly. I know what's best.

I will act according to the dictates of my conscience.

Will I discover tonight the identity of the man who had Sean murdered?

Perhaps.

But the revelation will be granted by our master only when he chooses.

And nobody knows when that will be.

Serve him faithfully, and he will please you.

Here and there.

Good job.

prudent document.

I know you'll care for my daughters the way a real father would.

When I die, the magistrate will be your protector.

He will administer the hacienda.

He is a man who's just.

Try and honor him the way you have honored me.

Where's your sister?

I hardly see her anymore.

I'm afraid I will die.

And she won't be here.

Catherine, your father's very sick. He wants to see you.

I'm talking to you.

Father wants you to see him now.

Emile is no longer our tutor.

The magistrate convinced father that he's the one who should be in charge of

the Hacienda and us.

Don't worry about it.

That man won't be able to do anything to us.

My master will protect us.

The judge will be destroyed.

In fire.

Nothing will be able to harm us.

Catherine, I'm frightened.

If the judge finds out what Madeline and you are doing... When I fly during the

sabbat, and when I see the entire earth beneath my feet...

When I am able to change the weather just like that, and when I realize I'm

in control of it all, everything, what a feeling that is.

In the Sabbat, my skin, my insides delight in pleasure, everything is

permitted. Our great master is generous, and he rewards all those who serve him

well. Elvir, say that you'll come.

You just have to.

With this potion, you will be able to poison the cattle.

And ruin the harvest. You must remember to invoke Osmodeo.

And in one month, plants and flowers will die.

And all of the women will be barren.

Canarid and Madravera root.

Heliotrope and hemlock.

Mabille, everything you've ordered me to do, I've finally completed.

Tell me when will I see the killer of Jean This matter is the most important

thing to you, correct?

You will have a vision of the man who committed the murder But this time

you will plainly see the face of the assassin

This potion should be

taken on the night of the first full moon of the month

You must think of the men that you have reason to suspect.

You will see whoever it is.

The man can no longer conceal his guilt in murdering Jean.

By employing the magical prowess of your body, he'll be

a slave to his lust and yours forever.

His moment is near.

His ruination, his demise.

Yes, sir, my lord.

The witch's name is Mabille, and she may be found in the mountains.

Up until now, no one has dared to report her because they're all afraid of her

and her powers.

They say she is the queen of the Sabbat.

And you, Renabe, aren't afraid of such a powerful witch?

Well, yes, sir.

I must confess that for a long time I was.

Yes, sir. But finally, I think my conscience has defeated my fears.

But this very witch whose name, Mabeel, keeps company, they say, sir, with some

very important people.

There are those who have even seen her.

People of importance?

This case is very delicate, and I forbid you to talk to anyone about it.

If you do, you'll be severely chastised.

I have your confidence in the matter.

I promise my lord to never divulge this secret.

These people of importance.

You're the one who saw them.

Elvira, forgive us, but we would like to know how your father is feeling.

Poorly.

His fate is in the hands of God.

We will pray for him.

May God bless you.

Bernard!

It was you!

Falter!

Good evening, Sergeant.

How is the patient?

My friend died this evening.

I bid you good night.

Why are you here?

And at such a late hour?

You don't know?

You wanted me the first time you saw me.

You got rid of Emile so you could come to my bed.

No.

No, my motives were pure.

I wanted only the best for you and your sister.

My sister?

When you know it's only me you love, well then...

Take me now Catherine.

I beg you go away

and the old woman mobile.

It's been proved she's a witch.

And all of us have known it for a long time now.

They threw her in the river and she floated. Floated like a cork.

That proves she's a witch.

Then they tortured her.

But she's strong and didn't say a word.

Not one name did the old woman utter.

You denounced her the way the others did.

May you be burned.

That woman was horrible.

But I did not turn her in.

It was Margo, the wife of the sacristan.

I only want to burn the young ones.

Only them.

You dirty, miserable pig.

They think I'm repulsive, but I'm a man like any other man. That's why I hate

them. I hate you all.

Thank you.

Lord of darkness.

My master.

Give me the strength to destroy all of them.

All of them.

Catherine.

Mobile wasn't able to stop her own demise.

The powers that you once thought she possessed did nothing.

No demons came in her hour of need to rescue her from her torturers.

I wish I'd never brought you to her.

I thought that she might help you.

But she wasn't able to prevent her own death.

She was just a poor woman, old and defenseless.

You and I have flown high over the earth.

We have even touched the stars.

We've attended the Sabbat and adored the Lord of Darkness.

He is the answer.

You know he's the answer.

He's the truth.

I need him, Alan.

I really do.

Yes, sir.

They frequently visited Mabio. I even saw them.

Why have you not said anything until now?

But, sir, I'm sorry.

I did.

I spoke.

I spoke with the judge.

What?

Spoke with the judge?

Yes.

Yes, your honor.

He said I better not speak with anyone about it.

And why is it you're not obeying him? Can you answer me that? Sir, it's...

My conscience would just not allow me to keep quiet about such an important case.

Yes. Yes, I understand This

is very delicate I must reflect When

I need you I'll let you know right there

that's all for now

We must never forget that the devil uses women to corrupt men, Pierre.

But, sir, the magistrate is incorruptible and austere.

He has exemplary virtues.

That is precisely the reason that Satan will try to destroy him and bring him

down.

And let us not forget the beauty of young Catherine.

Remember, Bernard is only a man.

Yes. Yes, you're right.

You were right.

I tried hard to seduce him from the very beginning.

I'm certain even you were aware of it. Well, now that you mention it.

Then he convinced the old man Armand to make him tutor for his daughters as well

as administrator of the estate.

Such things are not in keeping with our noble mission.

And the worst thing of all is that he kept secret.

The visits of Catherine to the old witch.

Renaubert may have been lying.

Renaubert was telling the truth.

I know how men respond when interrogated.

This matter is a grave one.

We must try to conduct ourselves prudently.

But with all the strength and conviction that our calling dictates.

infernal spirit, I am defeated.

You have sent this woman to be my ruin and I have no strength to resist.

I was here with Jean the last time I saw him.

We made love, perhaps like never before.

But then he was gone.

Never to return.

He was killed, murdered by an assassin.

For that villain has already been sentenced.

About to pay the price for his crime.

Today I want you. I want you.

I want you to make love to me here.

Here in the same place that Jean made love to me the last time we were

together.

Are you afraid, Magistrate?

Not afraid of you.

I've burned hundreds of witches and heretics.

Not one was able to harm me.

I saw you with Madeline.

It was almost morning.

I knew where you were.

Why then haven't you turned me in?

Because I love you.

Even though I know I'll surely burn for it.

You're the one who killed Jean.

No, Catherine.

It was robbers.

I wasn't the one.

Not I.

You'll pay.

I've made a pact with the Lord of Darkness.

My soul in return for yours.

What are you looking for, Rennerbert?

Just a witch.

What witch?

Aren't all three of you?

Filthy daughters of the devil.

Here there aren't any witches.

You're lying, Rennerbert. You're lying.

I've seen Madeline with your sister going to Mabille's.

Your sisters put the judge under a spell. They see each other.

I know where they hide.

They're going to burn.

But you can save yourself.

Be smart, little girl.

Save yourself!

No! No!

Let me go!

signed by Renobair before he died.

As you can see, the proof of Catherine's guilt is manifested.

Renobair was an idiot.

His declaration could be nothing but lies.

No, sir. There's no man, no matter how evil he might be, that would lie in the

face of death.

But Renobair killed two defenseless girls. But I don't think so, sir. They

were the ones who killed him.

It's quite clear to me that they had every intention of making him pay with

his life.

He feared them.

He'd been a witness to their heresy.

But Renaubert defended himself and was able to overcome them even though it

cost him his life.

That's the way it was.

This is not sufficient to condemn Catherine.

You know better. Both of us know it is sufficient.

Plenty of witnesses are willing to testify against her.

The witch will pay.

I am the judge. And you will prosecute her.

We'll summon Catherine and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt she is a witch

indeed.

Your attitude is out of character, sir.

The matter is clear.

You don't want to touch my body, you want my very soul.

But you will have to face my savior one day.

You will.

Now, confess.

Here, sir.

I have found the place.

There's nothing.

Not a thing.

Maybe you would like to come and look for yourself.

Now look at this, sir.

Here we have the mark of the devil's nail.

Confess that you're a witch.

Confess that you serve the demons of the underworld.

Confess it!

Yes! I have adored the Lord of Darkness and have faithfully served him, given

myself to him, been to the Sabbat and given curses. I am a witch! A witch!

But that bastard is my lover. Yes!

I swear before death.

I swear it. Bernard's been my lover.

We've had pleasure together all kinds of pleasure with one another isn't that

right and together we've worshipped the Lord of the darkness

My master will destroy

you he will not allow you to bring me any harm damn you damn you and now sir I

have something to show you These items were found in your bedroom This is the

contract you signed with the devil and here is your seal and coat of arms

in my position.

Now it is yours.

Congratulations, Nicholas.

No, sir.

I swear nothing was prepared.

I only searched your bedroom and these things were found.

It was you, Catherine.

It was you.

Catherine, you've never gone to the Sabbat.

Never adored the devil.

You are not a witch, and your powers are not extraordinary.

You are only a poor girl, persecuted and tormented solely by your own fears and

by your own frustrations.

I flew high above the stars.

I danced at the Sabbat. When you imagined you were flying, you were

sleeping in your bed.

You never really left the room, and Mabille and Madeline never flew.

They were just two poor, unfortunate, hysterical women.

I saw the judge paying off the men who killed my Jean.

You only saw the things you thought you wanted to see.

Those oils from Mabille or from Herbes were served to create dreams and

fantastic hallucinations.

I am my master's child.

He'll come to my aid. He would never let me turn to ashes.

He says I am his.

Catherine, may God be with you.

Sergeant, your time is up.

Let's go now.

You have stripped yourself of your dignity.

I will strip you of your title, your privileges, and your life.

As a symbol of your disgrace, your head will be shaved and you will be taken to

the stake and burned.

Father, I was crazy.

A merciless, fanatical sinner.

I repent of all my grave faults and ask the Almighty's forgiveness.

Pray for me.

The surgeon.

The wife and son of Alain Dufresne.

Their dead and other families are sick as well.

Their bodies are covered with sores. God, the plague. We must leave. We must

go quickly.
