[00:14] Dead     My warm body... [00:28] Nina     Oh, no... [00:29] Nina     Let's go home, Elaine! [00:31] Nina     It's getting dark. SIGN    A Nighttime Feast: Burning at the Stake [02:23] Ishi     Wow... [02:25] Ishi     I knew it, he's... [02:27] Ishi     Shit! [02:28] Ishi     He took off without me again! [02:29] Ishi     He won't leave me behind! [02:38] P     Hey, we've been on the move since yesterday. [02:42] P     If you don't rest, you'll be exhausted     when we reach our destination. [02:46] P     I wonder what happened to the boy. [02:48] P     His nasty looks and stubbornness kind     of reminded me of you, Guts. [02:52] G     Yeah, right. [02:56] P     No sudden stops! [02:58] P     Be more considerate of your host! [03:02] P     What is it this time? [03:05] G     Someone I've known for a long time. [03:08] Skele     You look to be in good health, Struggler. [03:12] Skele     An elf? [03:13] Skele     An interesting choice of companions. [03:15] P     Huh? [03:16] P     He's kind of... [03:22] G     Been a while, old man. [03:23] G     What are you doing out here? [03:26] Skele     I am a foe to otherworldly beings. [03:29] Skele     You will soon learn what lies ahead. [03:33] G     There's an Apostle nearby? [03:35] Skele     Or their root cause. [03:38] G     You don't mean... [03:40] G     They're... [03:41] G     The God Hand is here? [03:43] Skelle     Did you not also see the shining     hawk in your dreams? [03:49] Skelle     That was a revelation. [03:52] Skelle     That someone, who signifies the hawk,     will appear in this mortal world. [03:58] G     The hawk... [03:59] G     The hawk? [04:02] Skele     The flocks of sheep are being guided     to a blood-stained holy land. [04:05] Skele     What they seek is a hawk of light. [04:08] Skele     When the place of power attains a critical     threshold, what normally lies in [04:13] Skele     the realm of gods is incarnated,     once every thousand years. [04:15] Skele     You and the girl will find yourselves     thrown into that maelstrom, [04:21] Skele     as though tracing a passage through time. [04:26] Skele     The Eclipse... [04:28] Skele     An event similar to the Eclipse is about to occur. [04:41] G     It's about to... [04:44] G     It's going to happen again? [04:48] P     Joy? [04:51] Skele     Unfortunately, no man possesses the means     to change this festival's outcome. [04:56] Skele     A shadow will be born. [04:58] Skele     It will simply be a shadow cast by a dying     sun that shines on a faraway land. [05:04] G     You're saying the outcome will     be the same as last time? [05:08] Skelle     That we are both here, without meaning to be, [05:11] Skelle     is proof beyond reproach. [05:13] Skelle     We are already caught in the whorls of karma. [05:19] G     Shadows, karma... Like I give a damn. [05:24] G     In the past, I borrowed your powers, sure. [05:27] G     But this time, I will draw on my     own strength to save her! [05:31] G     And I'll... [05:36] Skele     Perhaps that brand will be of assistance to you. [05:40] G     What? [05:41] Skele     A word of advice. [05:44] Skele     Do not have more than     one that you care for. [06:17] Jerome     Man, what is our holy commander thinking? [06:23] Jerome     Why is she kissing up to Father Mozgus? [06:26] Jerome     Yeah, she sure has some noble faith. [06:28] Knight     Hey, she can hear you! [06:34] Ser     Oh, my apologies... [06:36] Knights     Please be more careful! [06:38] Knights     Come on... [06:41] F     Don't waste food. [06:43] Jerome     Why is a klutz like him the officer of arms? [06:43] Ser     Sorry. [06:45] Knights     Because he wags his tail and falls over     himself to please her, that's why. [06:49] Knight     Anyway, we have even more of them now. [06:52] Jerome     More what? [06:53] Knight     Refugees. [07:22] F     A-Ah, where is Father Mozgus? [07:25] Crow     I will come with you. [07:27] Crow     I was just on my way to the chapel to call him. [07:30] Crow     Did we shock you? [07:32] F     Er, no... [07:33] Crow     All of us have been persecuted     because of our appearances. [07:39] Crow     Exiled from villages and towns, [07:42] Crow     we were reviled as monsters. [07:44] Crow     Some even lived in hiding, in the forests. [07:51] Crow     Please look. [07:55] Crow     I was born with a rare disease. [07:57] Crow     Without this mask, [07:58] Crow     I'd be burned all over my body. [08:01] Crow     I wouldn't even look human anymore... [08:09] Moz     God, I thank you for bringing us     here today in a fateful act. [08:15] Moz     Child of fate, find pride and     faith within yourself. [08:20] Crow     I do not like my work. [08:23] Crow     I cannot find it within myself     to enjoy hurting others. [08:26] Crow     But still, I am proud. [08:29] Crow     For this is a holy task given to me by God. [08:37] F     What is this sound? [08:39] Crow     It is the sound of [08:40] Crow     my master's worship. [08:49] Crow     Prostration. [08:50] F     Eh? [08:51] Crow     Every day, morning and evening, [08:53] Crow     Father Mozgus prostrates himself     before God a thousand times. [08:57] Crow     In the past decade, he hasn't     failed to do so even once. [09:09] Crow     He seems to be finished. [09:12] Moz     Well met, Lady Farnese. [09:15] F     Father Mozgus, you're bleeding... [09:18] Moz     Ah, excuse me. [09:20] Moz     This tower is a most sacred place. [09:21] Moz     A holy man, imprisoned here     by the conqueror Gaiseric, [09:25] Moz     continued to recount the king's sins     to God, even while being tortured. [09:29] Moz     Eventually, in response to his pleas,     an angel is said to have descended. [09:35] Moz     I cannot help but be more devout     in my worship here. [09:40] Moz     Thank you. [09:42] Moz     Because of these wounds, I can barely walk. [09:45] Moz     I can run no longer. [09:47] Moz     But I am fond of this agony. [09:52] Moz     My holy mission is to enforce God's stern law. [09:56] Moz     Regrettably, that means causing agony to many. [10:02] Moz     These wounds are admonitions to me, [10:05] Moz     as well as proof of my faith. [10:08] Moz     Are you having some kind of doubts? [10:11] F     I am simply unsure. [10:14] F     Will this mission allow us to save people? [10:17] F     The common people bear us only ill will. [10:21] F     And though it shames me to admit, [10:24] F     even some among my Holy Iron Chain     Knights oppose this mission. [10:28] F     Please dismiss this as a mere initiate's ramblings. [10:31] F     But I fear that continuing this way will     mean that terror spreads unchecked, [10:35] F     exhausting the people's hearts and minds. [10:41] Moz     You must not deplore difficult tasks. [10:44] Moz     You must not question God. [10:47] Moz     Though you may endure bloodshed,     in both mind and body, [10:51] Moz     you must continue to live for God's glory. [10:54] Moz     That is faith. [10:57] Moz     It is for God, and God alone, that we act. [11:03] F     For God. [11:05] F     And God alone... [11:09] F     For God alone! [11:25] Gran     Thank you for always doing this... [11:28] Nina     Don't strain yourself, ma'am. [11:34] Nina     Hey, Elaine! [11:36] Nina     Come on, you can't get yourself     all muddy like this. [11:43] Joa     N-Nina... [11:45] Nina     Joachim... [11:49] Joa     U-Um... [11:50] Nina     Don't you know what's happening to me? [11:53] Joa     U-Um...

[12:06] Nina     I'm telling you that I can't lie with     you, even if you're nice to me! [12:11] Joa     Oh, but that's not what I meant— [12:13] Nina     Then try to screw me! [12:17] Joa     Oh, no. I... [12:22] Nina     If you think you're that brave, [12:25] Nina     come to the riverbank tonight,     when the midnight bell tolls. [12:32] Luca     What's going on, Nina? [12:34] Luca     Why all the racket so early in the morning? [12:36] Nina     It's nothing! [13:01] Nina     Do you love me? [13:03] Joa     Y-Yeah. [13:05] Nina     Then, are you willing to be     damned to Hell with me? [13:12] Joa     Y-Yeah. [13:14] ---     If it's with you. [13:22] Nina     This isn't for work. [13:29] Luca     That girl. Could she be... [14:17] Nina     Come, let's go down. [14:20] Luca     I knew it. That girl... [14:23] Luca     This makes you hallucinate... [14:32] Nina     Now, let's run away together.

[15:43] Cultist     He can't have survived from this height. [15:45] Cultist     Yeah, let's go home for now. [15:47] Cultist     People might come because of the commotion. [16:00] Nina     Yeah, right... Liar... [16:06] Luca     Nina... [16:07] Nina     Luca, why are you here? [16:10] Nina     No, stay away... [16:14] Nina     Stay away. [16:15] Nina     Stay away from me! [16:24] Nina     Why... [16:25] Nina     Why are you looking at me like that? [16:28] Nina     I've always hated you! [16:32] Nina     Always acting like a know-it-all,     ordering us around! [16:35] Nina     I bet you feel good about yourself, don't you?! [16:38] Nina     You're a whore, just like me! [16:42] Nina     But how? [16:44] Nina     How can you look down on others like that? [16:54] Nina     I-If I scream, my people will come back. [16:58] Nina     You'll be torn apart! [17:02] Nina     Wh-What are you— [17:08] Nina     Stop! [17:10] Nina     Stop... [17:13] Nina     Sorry! [17:15] Nina     I'm sorry! [17:18] Nina     I'm so sorry... [17:22] Luca     You worried me. [17:27] Luca     You stupid girl... [17:29] Nina     Luca, I... [17:32] Nina     Joachim... [17:33] Luca     Don't talk right now. [17:37] Men     Who's this? [17:40] Men     Hey, she's a whore with Nina. [17:42] Men     Oh, right, the crazy one who's sick. [17:44] Men     Interesting. [17:49] Nina     Elai— [17:50] Luca     That girl. [17:51] Men     Hey, show us your rotting face! [17:54] Men     Huh? [17:56] Men     What? [17:57] Men     What's going on? [17:58] Men     She's a real beauty, once you     look under the bandages.

[20:56] Knight     I heard the commander's family home [20:58] Knight     was right at a burning ground for heretics. [21:01] Knight     Since she was a young girl, she's willingly lit fires. [21:05] Knight     I heard she was allowed to search     for the Black Swordsman [21:07] Knight     because three years ago, she caught     heretics plotting to rebel against [21:12] Knight     the Holy See and burned them all at the stake. [21:17] Jerome     So she's born and bred that way, huh? [21:19] Jerome     I should stay away from her. [21:21] Azan     You, there! [21:22] Azan     No small talk! [21:24] Jerome     Yes, sir! [21:25] Boy     Dad... [21:27] Man     Brat, you're a heretic, too, aren't you? [21:29] Man     The son of a heretic is also a heretic. [21:32] Man     If not, throw this onto the pyre. [21:34] Boy     I... I... [21:38] Ser     That child is innocent. [21:41] Ser     We investigated him when     we questioned the father. [21:45] Man     M-My apologies! [21:47] Jerome     Oh? [21:52] Ser     I'm not trying to obligate you to me. [22:03] Jerome     Hey! [22:05] Ser     Lord Jerome, I believe... [22:07] Jerome     Oh, you aren't the officer of arms     for nothing. Good memory... [22:13] Jerome     You're not so bad, huh? [22:15] Ser     Hmm? [22:16] Jerome     That kid back there. [22:18] Jerome     That was nice knightly behavior. [22:20] Ser     Oh, that. [22:21] Ser     You see, it's personal for me. [22:24] Ser     I was just like him. [22:27] Ser     My mother was also burned     at the stake as a heretic. [22:32] Ser     Three years ago, before my very eyes. [22:38] Jerome     Three years ago? [23:04] Shadows     Good work, miss! [23:05] Shadows     Bless her. [23:06] Shadows     God bless her. [23:19] F     I'm not wrong! [23:30] Ishi     Shit! [23:32] Ishi     That monster never gets tired... [23:35] Ishi     I've finally caught up! [23:48] G     Casca...
