01x04 - Fate

[bunniefuu]

Stay strong.

Chin up.

Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem.

Ut benedicat in nomine Patris et Filii
et Spiritus Sancti. Amen

More gently.

You look different.

Your mother really wanted
to see me wearing this dress.

She gave it to me.

My deepest regret is
that I didn't fulfill her desire.

They said blood suddenly
started oozing out of her eyes,

mouth and nose.

A horrible thing.

The doctor, Sante's son,
did his utmost to save her.

There was nothing he could do.

Who was with her
when this happened?

Only her family.
They didn't have time to call anyone.

Do you think it's his work?

It doesn't seem a natural death,
that's for sure.

We have got to get going, Janara.

Now that his wife has d*ed,
there will be no stopping Sante.

There are too few of us.
We've got to find the others.

Yes, you're right.

Ade, where are you going?

I've got to see him again.
I've got to explain.

If you go outside, you'll die.

I've got to try. I'm not asking you
to help me but just not to hinder me.

If it were you in my place and Spirto
was out there, what would you do?

It's madness.

I won't let you go alone.

If you go, I'm coming with you.

♪ Ooh-ah, oooh-oooh-ah ♪

♪ Good Lord, where have you gone? ♪

♪ Why have you left me? ♪

When the Lord...

calls the most virtuous souls
unto himself...

it is to remind us how unrelenting
the battle against evil is.

Misfortune to all...

who call evil good and good evil.

Misfortune to all who shun the Lord...

and entrust themselves
to the perversion of faith and customs

that is called "science."

Those that keep on shunning God...

pave the way for the rebellion
and apostasy of modern times.

And shall die...

with no consolation...

of divine forgiveness.

Let us pray.

Careful.

Thank you.

Not now. There are too many people.

Let's go home.

You go.

I'm going to stay here a little longer.

I have to say farewell to her.

On my own.

You shouldn't be here.

I couldn't not come, Pietro.

I want you to understand.

It's impossible to understand.

My mother d*ed so quickly

that I didn't even have time
to relieve her pain.

But what I saw...

I never wanted to see that vision.

I never wanted to give you such pain.

I don't know what you saw.

Or what you thought you saw.

I only know that my mother was recovering.

The medicines seemed to be working
and then everything went wrong.

I don't know what to think.

Believe in me.

In us.

Not now.

I've got to reflect on things now.

Now, more than ever,
my place is next to my father.

And that girl?

Cesaria?

We are very fond of each other.

Now she needs me too.

I've got to go now.

Farewell, Ade.

You've got to learn
to understand your power, Ade.

And to accept it.
You mustn't be afraid of it.

Pietro's mother would have d*ed anyway,

with or without your power
to see death arriving.

You allowed Pietro to bid farewell to her
for the last time.

To tell her how much he loved her
and let her leave this world in peace.

It's your power, Ade.
But it's also a gift.

You create a possibility of life

where there is only grieving and death.

Do this for the other women.
Wield your power for them.

But I can't, I don't understand them,
I don't know where they are!

Trust us, Ade.

Let's begin.

My brother was the best part of me.

Twin siblings: we were identical
to everyone except to ourselves.

I found him.

Lying on the floor between the bed
and basin with his mouth open.

He hadn't managed to stop our father

from arranging the marriage
with that woman.

They say that

the last women to leave church
on Christmas Eve...

are destined to become Janara.

But I didn't know.

They married me off as a child
against my will...

to a man who didn't love me...

condemning me to a life
of silence and solitude.

But he didn't have the courage to call out
the name of his loved one. A man's name.

When I felt the noise of the blade
on my hair...

a shiver shook my body.

I was waiting for... the boy
I had fallen in love with to appear.

I waited until the end of the Mass
but he never came.

Fate brought him death.

When he d*ed,
they accused me of poisoning him.

- They broke my hands!
- I felt

as if the muscles, tendons, skin, eyes

were falling away, not hair.

- I die without clamor or forgiveness.
- I was the last to leave the church.

Only fire could cleanse his shame

- and give us back my freedom.
- I'm cold and frightened!

- The more they cut, the weaker I became.
- Crows will devour me!

That fire reduced everything to ash.

They shouted "witch," "janara."

- Witch!
- Save me!

It was just then
that I discovered my powers.

I don't remember my real name anymore.

I became weaker and weaker.

- Tell me you can hear me!
- Listen! Save me, only you can!

Every pain has a different voice, Ade.

Follow the pain
and you will find the source.

My hair has never grown since that day.

I set fire to my house.

"Better to be a witch than mad," I yelled.

I traveled far, before finding my way.

But now this is my family.

Can you hear me?

I'm thirsty, I need to drink something!
The sun is burning, help me!

I'm dying. Please, I beg you.

Can you hear me?

Yes.

I can hear you.

No! Let her go, I beg you.

She is my only daughter!

Where are they hiding?

Sir, I swear I do not know.

I don't know what you are talking about.
I beg you, let me go home.

Don't waste my time.

Tell me what you know
about the women of the wood.

Sir, I don't know any women of the wood.

I beg you, let me go home to my mother.

You saw that she's old.
I beg you, she needs me,

she needs my care! I beg you...

Protecting witches...

- makes you a witch too.
- No!

Take her away!

- No, please!
- We'll interrogate her at Serra.

Mom!

- On you go, go swiftly.
- Let's go.

Make them talk.

Let's go!

Get moving.

Where have you been, Father?

You were born right here, in this bed.

It's strange.

Once, this bed reminded me
only of nice things.

Life, joy.

Love.

And now all I can see is the face
of your mother when she was dying.

Torturing and k*lling all these women
won't bring her back.

You will be wondering who we are.
And why we saved you.

We are your family.

You thought you were alone in the world.

Damned, persecuted.

We are here to tell you
that you are alone no longer.

Persepolis.

Here you can be whatever you want to be.

Don't be afraid.

Is it you?

Is it you that found us? That saw us?

Do you know who we are?

I think so.

- Come on. Let's make a toast.
- Yes.

Are you looking for company?

Hmm?

Leave me alone.

Had a bad day?

I told you to go away.

Hmm... what a nasty sort.

Innkeeper!

The guy isn't well.

I'll deal with him.

Are you deaf?

His.

Ah!

It's time to go home.

I want to drink.

Bring me another one.

I told you it's time to go home.

And I told you to bring me another one.

- That's Sante's son.
- He's drunk.

- You'll have to call his father.
- Yes, I'm Sante's son.

- What is it, are you frightened?
- You'd better go.

I will do what I want!

Who do you think you are?

I'm the son of the great captain
of the Benandanti, am I not?

I can do whatever I want!

I can even drink all the wine
in this inn, and you...

you can't stop me.

That's what you say.

- He needs a lesson.
- Let's teach him one.

Come on!

That's enough now, stop!

- Seen this?
- Who's she? What does she want?

You can see he is drunk.

He started it.

Take him away!

- We wanted to have fun.
- Take him home!

There no pleasure in b*ating a man
who is defended by a woman.

What woman?

- Looks like a tomboy.
- You call that a woman?

Who spoke?

Me.

Could you lend me your charcoal?

The honor is all yours.

They never last long enough.

We are still a great pair.

We will always be.

I could have managed even without you.

However... what I want to say is...

thanks.

Our destiny does not always correspond

with our desires.

My desires d*ed
along with Pietro's mother.

I did what had to be done, I think.

We haven't finished yet.

I know. I'll be ready tomorrow.

It might be even more difficult tomorrow.

Surely, our actions did not go unnoticed.

I'll manage to do it.

We'll manage to do it.

Tebe, I understand how important it is.
Do not fear.

I have felt so much pain,
I will be angry forever.

It could have been me out there.

Locked in a damp cell and eaten by rats...

ready to be b*rned.

If I had been in such a situation,

I would have prayed every day
for someone to save me.

Now I know I am that person.
I know I have the power to save.

I know who I am.

Did it do you any good?

What?

The wine.

Are you feeling better?

There are sorrows you don't forget.

Your mother will stay here forever.

This will be her resting place forever.

You always find the right place
for everything.

You've been doing it
since we were children.

On the other hand,
I never manage to sort things out.

My life is like a messy chest.

It's always been easy for me
to understand where my place is.

And it's at your side.

Not now.

If you still remember
this moment tomorrow...

then we'll talk about it again.

They're rounding up all the women.

They're seizing all the women,
without any distinction.

The Benandanti are looking for us.
It's our fault they are seizing them.

- We knew it could happen.
- But why aren't we fighting out there?

We can't run such a risk.

Since when is saving women
too much of a risk?

I thought that was exactly
what we were doing.

Or perhaps you believe that
the witches deserve to live

- and the others don't.
- Don't say it even in jest.

In order to save them all,

now we have to focus
on those who can help us.

Without them,
we are destined to lose, Leptis!

There are few of us.

Tebe. You have to come right now.

- Are you sure?
- I'm sure. There's another one.

Her voice is very powerful.

How much time have we got?

Not much.

Let's get ready.

Will you get another one?

We'll try.

When I become skilled with the bow,
I'll come and help you too.

At times, I feel as if I cannot manage
on my own.

And if I were wrong?
If I arrived too late?

- One has already d*ed because of me.
- Ade.

If they need you out there...

you must go.

Is anyone there?

Help me!

I'm down here!

I'm down here, I beg you!

They know nothing, Father.

What does that mean?
Don't they speak?

We tortured them all night.

- If they had known something...
- You're useless.

We can still catch them, Father.

I heard that two witches
condemned to eternal suffering

were saved by strange women
on horseback...

that are well versed
in wielding swords and daggers

and then disappear like the wind.

Good.

It's them.

Get my horse ready.

- Something's not right.
- Yes.

It's too light.

Cursed witches!

That's not a dummy.

It's your worst enemy.

It's him you have to think of
before sh**ting the arrow.

Of his eyes.

And of the grimace of pain
when the blade pierces him.

Clever boy.

I can't believe it.

I did it!

You will have really done it...

when you do it ten times,
one after the other.

Pick up the arrows and keep practicing.

Did you send for me, Eminence?

Sit down, Sante.

Sit down here opposite me.

I heard about your wife...

and I wanted to express
my condolences personally.

Thanks.

I shall never forgive myself
for not having saved her.

And for disappointing you.

Don't be foolish.

You haven't disappointed me.

The path is still long.

Look at me, Sante.

If I were to tell you
that there is still a chance?

We don't know where she is.

I am talking about your wife.

If there were the possibility
to see her again...

My wife is dead,
I saw her die with my own eyes.

You are underestimating me, Sante.

There is a way.

I can do it.

I can let you see your wife again.

But I need you to bring Ade to me here.

Alive.

In not interested in the others.

You can k*ll them all.
Or rather, you must k*ll them all.

But I need her alive.

I don't understand, Eminence.

Are you telling me
it's possible to bring back the dead?

But that's sacrilege, a mortal sin.

Not if he who does it...

is driven by a pure heart.

Capture that witch and bring her to me.

Only this. I'll deal with the rest.

It's not easy.

The witches protecting her
are very powerful.

They are swift, unpredictable.
It's impossible to flush them out.

I know very well, Sante.

But you will see that soon, very soon...

you will be stronger than them.

I will grant you that strength.

I will be able to grant you that power.

Here...

where everything came into being...

we celebrate the rebirth
of the Lost Cities.

Today they surprised us,
weak and unprepared.

With only our worldly means.

But it was only a mishap.

Because we are destined to win.

As of tomorrow,
our strength will escalate.

We have a great ally.

And together with him,
those witches won't stand a chance.

Our enemies are getting ready
to destroy us.

To wipe out our existence.

Because we represent
what they fear the most.

The possibility of creating a new world

with the face of a woman.

Your face.

Aquileia.

May your tricks...

be dreams for us.

Petra.

May the rock forge your arms.

Segesta.

May you be able to make...

any seed of our thoughts germinate.

Ade.

The most ancient of the Lost Cities.

Whoever is born with this name...

has their path already carved out.

The sac that wrapped you
and protected you at your birth...

I have kept it since that day.

We proudly carry this chosen symbol
around our necks.

It calls us to our destiny, to battle.

You are destined to lead this battle.

Because you are my son.

Sworn enemy of every witch
and every devil.

May this light illuminate your path,

even in the darkest night.

Lord...

who watches over us
and shows us the way...

fight on our side.

May courage guide us!

May faith burn within us!

Pietro! Where are you going?
