So kill it. You're a witcher.

There are several ways to kill a leshen.

Behead it,
sacrifice a few of its furry pets,
62

He said, "Practice your sad face,
78

and maybe
a passerby will offer you a ride."
79
00:06:06,251 --> 00:06:07,918
[woman] And what of your sisters?
80
00:06:09,251 --> 00:06:12,626
The witcher said
to use my sad face on the alderman too.
81
00:06:13,251 --> 00:06:14,959
So he'd spare some men to…
82
00:06:15,668 --> 00:06:16,959
gather the bodies.
83
00:06:24,418 --> 00:06:25,584
Dry eyes, child.

Seize the witcher home of Kaer Morhen

and exile its occupants
for crimes against Kaedwen's people.

From what the boy told us, Your Highness,
91
00:06:50,793 --> 00:06:54,834
the witcher slew the leshen
that was terrorizing our forests.
92
00:06:54,918 --> 00:06:58,709
Lady Zerbst, since when
have leshens prowled about Kaedwen,
93
00:06:58,793 --> 00:07:00,709
never mind with such hostility?
94
00:07:01,376 --> 00:07:02,501
Eh?
95
00:07:02,584 --> 00:07:07,126
Oh, you're suggesting the witchers
have been staging these forest attacks.
96
00:07:07,209 --> 00:07:10,501
So scandalous, Madam Gilcrest.
97
00:07:10,584 --> 00:07:13,709
Monster species have dwindled

-[murmuring]
-They need coin.
99
00:07:15,834 --> 00:07:18,793
Some have turned to mercenary work,
others criminality.
100
00:07:18,876 --> 00:07:21,959
One even took a bounty
on a cheating husband's head.
101
00:07:22,043 --> 00:07:24,626
And you have evidence
to prove your conspiracy?
102
00:07:24,709 --> 00:07:29,084
Or are we to merely bank
on your magical intuition?
103
00:07:29,168 --> 00:07:31,126
It's their natures, my lady.
104
00:07:32,626 --> 00:07:35,418
Witchers are the offspring
of foul sorcery.
105
00:07:35,918 --> 00:07:37,168
Roaming our lands,
106
00:07:37,251 --> 00:07:39,626
voting themselves the stalkers of evil,
107
00:07:39,709 --> 00:07:41,668
extorting coin from the gullible.
108
00:07:42,168 --> 00:07:46,834
Honest, simple peasants who ascribe
all misfortune to spells and monsters.
109
00:07:46,918 --> 00:07:48,876
Mages create the witcher.
110
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:52,626
Then presume it's our duty to hold
the bucket and mop up their brown mess.

I'm with Lady Zerbst on this one.
114
00:08:00,001 --> 00:08:02,084
The witchers remain at Kaer Morhen.
115
00:08:02,168 --> 00:08:05,001
At least until such time
as evidence is provided
116
00:08:06,293 --> 00:08:08,043
that supports your theory.

[upbeat folk music playing]

00:08:26,918 --> 00:08:29,668
When a witcher inflicts pain,
120
00:08:29,751 --> 00:08:32,501
he experiences ecstasy.
121
00:08:33,293 --> 00:08:35,668
[hooded figure]
The creature's words are Ellyon.
122
00:08:35,751 --> 00:08:38,959
A dead elven dialect
linked to darker times.
123
00:08:39,043 --> 00:08:41,459
Few remember the ancient tongue.
Fewer dare speak it.
124
00:08:42,376 --> 00:08:44,626
But how a leshen would know it
125
00:08:44,709 --> 00:08:47,043
or be afraid of some den--
126
00:08:47,126 --> 00:08:48,626
Never said it was afraid.
127
00:08:49,376 --> 00:08:51,668
You speak Ellyon, don't you, Filavandrel?
128
00:08:52,418 --> 00:08:54,668
You witchers are desperate for coin.
129
00:08:55,251 --> 00:08:57,709
Turning to elves for leads on work.
130
00:08:58,876 --> 00:09:03,084
These pleasures do not pay for themselves.
What did the leshen say?
131
00:09:03,751 --> 00:09:05,584
"Beware the den of my dead."
132
00:09:05,668 --> 00:09:08,543
Hmm. Things you don't wish
to hear in a bath.
133
00:09:09,918 --> 00:09:12,793
Did you notice anything else unusual?
134
00:09:13,293 --> 00:09:15,043
There was an energy in the woods.
135
00:09:15,793 --> 00:09:17,418
Some sort of magic, maybe.
136
00:09:17,501 --> 00:09:19,459
Controlling the leshen, bewitching it.
137
00:09:20,209 --> 00:09:21,251
What's your face?
138
00:09:22,459 --> 00:09:24,084
Over the last four summers,
139
00:09:24,876 --> 00:09:26,959
girls have been disappearing
from our ranks.
140
00:09:27,043 --> 00:09:29,084
Oh, God, no elf drama.
141
00:09:29,668 --> 00:09:33,293
[Filavandrel] The first we feared were
deserting us after the last cleansing.
142
00:09:33,793 --> 00:09:38,293
-But the disappearances haven't stopped.
-Tragic, really. Very terrible.
143
00:09:38,376 --> 00:09:41,626
One of the first to vanish
was a young mage, Kitsu.
144
00:09:42,793 --> 00:09:45,918
She spoke Ellyon.
We should return to these forests.
145
00:09:46,751 --> 00:09:48,584
See, I'm a monster hunter, Fil,
146
00:09:48,668 --> 00:09:52,001
not an elf wrangler, not even
the murderous ones, but good luck.
147
00:09:52,084 --> 00:09:54,126
[Filavandrel] A favor to a friend, then?
148
00:09:54,793 --> 00:09:57,418
[witcher] Favors and friends
don't pay bills.
149
00:09:57,501 --> 00:09:58,709
Quite the opposite.
150
00:09:59,209 --> 00:10:01,084
[Filavandrel] You've really no shame.
151
00:10:01,168 --> 00:10:04,959
I have a reputation and
a healthy estimation of my talent's worth.
152
00:10:05,918 --> 00:10:10,209
My apologies for trying to save you
from a wasted winter at Kaer Morhen.
153
00:10:10,293 --> 00:10:12,584
[laughs] Wasted?

00:10:13,084 --> 00:10:15,834
Well, there's drinking, eating, sleeping.

All free.
156
00:10:17,293 --> 00:10:21,334
[Filavandrel] And the training
of another greedy gang of young witchers.
157
00:10:22,043 --> 00:10:23,543
I leave that to my peers.

[Filavandrel sighs]
159
00:10:25,126 --> 00:10:30,751
Imagine if you witchers labored
for more than just thrill and coin.
160
00:10:31,501 --> 00:10:34,001
Imagine if you elves wielded your swords
161
00:10:34,084 --> 00:10:36,209
-as well as you do guilt.

[man] Yes, sir.

At least my son proves a measure
of your generous character.
178
00:11:24,126 --> 00:11:27,501
Head to the market.
We will need blue gum to sedate our lady.
179
00:11:27,584 --> 00:11:29,459
-[woman] No!
-Try not to cock it up.
180
00:11:29,543 --> 00:11:31,501
[woman cackling madly]
181
00:11:31,584 --> 00:11:33,626
Please stop! Please make it stop!
182
00:11:33,709 --> 00:11:34,668
-[man] No.
-[woman] No!
183
00:11:35,709 --> 00:11:38,459
-[birds chirping]
-[horse neighing]
184
00:11:43,668 --> 00:11:45,709
Stop fidgeting!
185
00:11:52,209 --> 00:11:54,334
-[giggles]
-[slap]
186
00:11:54,418 --> 00:11:55,751
[neighs]
187
00:11:55,834 --> 00:11:57,501
[grunts] Aah! Oh!
188
00:12:01,209 --> 00:12:02,168
Oh!
189
00:12:03,376 --> 00:12:04,918
[laughing]
190
00:12:05,626 --> 00:12:08,751
Poor Illyana.
I didn't even have to take a shot.
191
00:12:08,834 --> 00:12:11,668
Moron! You could've killed me.
192
00:12:12,584 --> 00:12:13,668
Here to bother me?
193
00:12:13,751 --> 00:12:16,293
The Lord insisted
I look after you in the market.
194
00:12:16,376 --> 00:12:18,334
Seemed rather pissed.
195
00:12:18,418 --> 00:12:19,834
[Vesemir sighs]
196
00:12:19,918 --> 00:12:22,626
We slave away all day long,
getting shout at,
197
00:12:22,709 --> 00:12:26,334
and the only coin we get
is when we're sent to fetch them goods.
198
00:12:26,418 --> 00:12:30,001
Just be happy you have a roof over
your head and your belly's not empty.
199
00:12:30,084 --> 00:12:34,584
Barely a roof, barely not empty.
Just enough to keep us here breathing.
200
00:12:35,751 --> 00:12:37,293
-[horse whines]
-[Illyana] Fine.
201
00:12:37,376 --> 00:12:38,668
There's the world.
202
00:12:38,751 --> 00:12:41,126
What would you buy
if you had all its coin?
203
00:12:41,209 --> 00:12:44,168
I would get the hell out of this village
and travel the continent.
204
00:12:44,251 --> 00:12:46,001
-Adventure?
-Of course.
205
00:12:46,084 --> 00:12:47,834
-Glory?
-Oh, yes!
206
00:12:47,918 --> 00:12:48,876
Girls?
207
00:12:49,918 --> 00:12:51,043
[giggles]
208
00:12:51,543 --> 00:12:53,876
I'd buy a gorgeous lake house.
209
00:12:54,376 --> 00:12:58,959
My handsome husband and I would picnic
and drink wine by the water
210
00:12:59,043 --> 00:13:01,376
as our children played jacks nearby.
211
00:13:01,459 --> 00:13:03,543
You know what we should do?
212
00:13:04,209 --> 00:13:06,543
We should take this coin
and buy honey cake.
213
00:13:06,626 --> 00:13:08,793
And how will our lady get her herbs?
214
00:13:10,459 --> 00:13:12,793
-[man] Yes, three more of those.
-[woman] Fresh mixed grills!
215
00:13:12,876 --> 00:13:14,376
[man] There you are, sir.
216
00:13:14,459 --> 00:13:16,209
Stop! Thief!
217
00:13:17,251 --> 00:13:18,834
-Hey!
-[child laughs]
218
00:13:19,334 --> 00:13:20,376
This way!
219
00:13:21,501 --> 00:13:23,001
[panting]
220
00:13:24,418 --> 00:13:25,709
-Oh!
-[woman] Stop him!
221
00:13:28,251 --> 00:13:29,668
[upbeat music playing]
222
00:13:38,543 --> 00:13:39,876
[growls] Nutcase.
223
00:13:53,084 --> 00:13:54,168
Mmm!
224
00:13:55,209 --> 00:13:56,793
Save some for me!
225
00:13:58,084 --> 00:14:00,709
See, it worked. [chuckles]
226
00:14:00,793 --> 00:14:01,959
I knew it would.
227
00:14:02,043 --> 00:14:04,293
[Illyana laughs]
228
00:14:08,751 --> 00:14:10,209
[man] In Nilfgaard,
229
00:14:10,293 --> 00:14:13,001
they'd cut your thieving hands right off.
230
00:14:14,043 --> 00:14:16,668
Make you wear 'em
round your neck for weeks.
231
00:14:18,001 --> 00:14:19,376
Smart trick.
232
00:14:20,209 --> 00:14:21,626
Odd loot.
233
00:14:21,709 --> 00:14:22,876
Who you got who's sick?
234
00:14:24,376 --> 00:14:25,959
[chuckles]
235
00:14:26,043 --> 00:14:26,876
Where…
236
00:14:26,959 --> 00:14:31,376
Where'd a girl find balls like that
in an alley wi' a man like me?
237
00:14:31,459 --> 00:14:35,543
I steal them from smelly cowards
who try to bully young ladies.
238
00:14:36,376 --> 00:14:37,584
[belches]
239
00:14:39,376 --> 00:14:40,376
Who are you?
240
00:14:40,459 --> 00:14:45,376
A humanitarian, whose well-meaning ears
have heard of a local lady
241
00:14:45,459 --> 00:14:48,334
-lost to madness and fever…
-[gags]
242
00:14:48,418 --> 00:14:50,751
…seeing horrors that aren't really there.
243
00:14:51,251 --> 00:14:55,209
That blue gum will
certainly ease the affliction, but, uh…
244
00:14:55,834 --> 00:14:57,293
a sword would kill it.
245
00:14:57,376 --> 00:14:58,418
Name's Deglan.
246
00:14:59,126 --> 00:15:01,376
And you're gonna take me
to your noblewoman.
247
00:15:01,876 --> 00:15:05,001
Or I'm taking you two pests
back to the market.
248
00:15:08,001 --> 00:15:09,501
[woman groaning]
249
00:15:11,959 --> 00:15:14,043
[Deglan] A demon plagues this woman.
250
00:15:14,126 --> 00:15:15,043
A mahr.
251
00:15:15,543 --> 00:15:19,251
Puts you down with horrid delusions
and feeds off your madness.
252
00:15:19,334 --> 00:15:21,793
Meteorite ore disrupts the demon's magic,
253
00:15:21,876 --> 00:15:23,876
so it can be… removed.
254
00:15:24,376 --> 00:15:26,001
Out. Now. All of you.
255
00:15:28,293 --> 00:15:29,459
I'd like to remain.
256
00:15:30,668 --> 00:15:34,084
Your boy's likely seen
a monster or two in his time, no?
257
00:15:34,584 --> 00:15:36,251
[woman moaning]
258
00:15:37,543 --> 00:15:39,626
-Oof!
-[Deglan] I'll be casting the spell.
259
00:15:39,709 --> 00:15:42,001
-[grunts]
-It's on you to catch the critter.
260
00:15:43,209 --> 00:15:46,626
But I thought a witcher slays monsters?
261
00:15:46,709 --> 00:15:48,418
[Deglan] To slay a beast,
262
00:15:48,501 --> 00:15:50,459
you've first got to understand it.
263
00:15:50,543 --> 00:15:52,001
-[woman groaning]
-Study it.
264
00:15:52,501 --> 00:15:54,001
Find its weakness.
265
00:15:54,543 --> 00:15:56,793
I want this sucker alive and kicking.
266
00:15:57,918 --> 00:15:58,793
If possible.
267
00:15:59,376 --> 00:16:01,209
[whispering in Elder Tongue]
268
00:16:04,918 --> 00:16:07,418
[groans and screams]
269
00:16:09,751 --> 00:16:10,834
Steady, young fella.
270
00:16:10,918 --> 00:16:12,001
Uh…
271
00:16:13,251 --> 00:16:14,918
[screeches]
272
00:16:22,584 --> 00:16:23,751
[squeals]
273
00:16:25,584 --> 00:16:26,418
[groans]
274
00:16:30,876 --> 00:16:32,584
-[groans]
-[creature hisses]
275
00:16:32,668 --> 00:16:34,543
-[grunts]
-[Deglan chuckles]
276
00:16:35,126 --> 00:16:36,751
And he asked to stay.
277
00:16:38,043 --> 00:16:39,334
[creature screeching]
278
00:16:42,709 --> 00:16:44,418
-[screeches]
-[yells]
279
00:16:58,876 --> 00:17:01,126
[Deglan] Never let 'em get in your head.
280
00:17:01,709 --> 00:17:03,168
Better dead than fled.
281
00:17:06,918 --> 00:17:09,084
There'll always be another monster.
282
00:17:14,043 --> 00:17:15,043
[woman] Vesemir.
283
00:17:15,543 --> 00:17:17,043
Fetch warm water.
284
00:17:17,751 --> 00:17:18,834
My head…
285
00:17:18,918 --> 00:17:21,334
Oh, my head hurts wildly.
286
00:17:33,084 --> 00:17:34,501
[coins jingling]
287
00:17:34,584 --> 00:17:36,043
Nice weight, isn't it?
288
00:17:36,126 --> 00:17:39,334
How much you suppose
the job cost that prick master of yours?
289
00:17:40,918 --> 00:17:43,126
Fear and ignorance are good business.
290
00:17:44,459 --> 00:17:46,043
For your service, young fella.
291
00:17:54,459 --> 00:17:55,543
Take me with you.
292
00:17:56,709 --> 00:17:58,709
Not many boys seek to be witchers.
293
00:17:58,793 --> 00:18:02,126
Even fewer seek a life
of fetching bedpans and water.
294
00:18:02,209 --> 00:18:03,043
And the girl?
295
00:18:04,043 --> 00:18:05,334
Your blue-eyed lass?
296
00:18:06,626 --> 00:18:09,376
You hesitated back with the mahr too.
297
00:18:09,459 --> 00:18:13,043
Witchers do not hesitate.
298
00:18:22,709 --> 00:18:24,709
[contemplative music playing]
299
00:18:40,959 --> 00:18:43,293
-Stop!
-Are you going to enjoy the day?
300
00:18:43,376 --> 00:18:47,126
Or are you still too shook
from your daring night of monster-slaying?
301
00:18:47,209 --> 00:18:49,209
It was your first time, Vesemir.
302
00:18:49,793 --> 00:18:53,251
Excuse me for wanting to be good
at something other than serving.
303
00:18:53,334 --> 00:18:55,584
Oh, I can see it now.
304
00:18:55,668 --> 00:18:57,918
You, adorned in battle armor,
305
00:18:58,001 --> 00:18:59,626
steel and silver swords,
306
00:18:59,709 --> 00:19:03,584
saving the continent from kikamores,
ghouls, and mad sorcerers.
307
00:19:03,668 --> 00:19:05,334
Evil would tremble.
308
00:19:06,543 --> 00:19:09,959
-Stylish armor, by the way.
-Imagine it however you like.
309
00:19:10,709 --> 00:19:14,459
Only way people like us survive is
to dream of ourselves as something else.
310
00:19:15,043 --> 00:19:19,334
Who knows? Perhaps someday
I'll be a princess who commands the snow.
311
00:19:22,376 --> 00:19:23,376
Uh!
312
00:19:24,209 --> 00:19:25,084
[Illyana giggles]
313
00:19:25,751 --> 00:19:27,918
Vesemir, I was only jesting.
314
00:19:28,001 --> 00:19:29,501
You find our fates funny?
315
00:19:30,126 --> 00:19:34,293
Why should I be meek and penniless
like my father? Or you like your mother?
316
00:19:34,918 --> 00:19:37,793
-What's got you so silly?
-You wouldn't understand.
317
00:19:37,876 --> 00:19:40,168
Vesemir, out there, we're nothing.
318
00:19:40,834 --> 00:19:41,959
Less than nothing.
319
00:19:42,501 --> 00:19:45,043
At least here,
at the estate, we have station.
320
00:19:45,126 --> 00:19:46,793
And if I could take care of you?
321
00:19:47,376 --> 00:19:49,834
The coin that witcher made last night,
322
00:19:49,918 --> 00:19:51,459
you should've saw it.
323
00:19:51,959 --> 00:19:54,834
I'd get you your lake house,
all your wine.
324
00:19:54,918 --> 00:19:57,459
Anything and everything.
325
00:19:57,543 --> 00:19:58,501
Yours.
326
00:19:59,459 --> 00:20:01,626
So trade my debt to a master I hate
327
00:20:02,209 --> 00:20:04,126
with a debt to one that I love?
328
00:20:06,709 --> 00:20:08,751
Wait, Illyana! Stay!
329
00:20:09,251 --> 00:20:10,376
You stay.
330
00:20:22,126 --> 00:20:23,418
[door opens]
331
00:20:27,001 --> 00:20:28,543
[man groaning]
332
00:20:30,084 --> 00:20:31,001
[sighs]
333
00:20:41,709 --> 00:20:43,959
[mutters]
334
00:20:48,084 --> 00:20:49,543
-[sighs]
-[receding footsteps]
335
00:21:04,751 --> 00:21:06,751
[contemplative music continues]
336
00:21:18,751 --> 00:21:20,751
[dramatic music playing]
337
00:21:42,334 --> 00:21:43,959
Lord Vesemir,
338
00:21:44,043 --> 00:21:45,334
my new best friend.
339
00:21:45,418 --> 00:21:47,459
Crossed a leshen on my way here.
340
00:21:47,543 --> 00:21:48,459
So we've heard.
341
00:21:49,043 --> 00:21:51,293
Meanwhile, I barely made enough this year
342
00:21:51,376 --> 00:21:53,834
to score a night
with a limp-pricked man-whore.
343
00:21:53,918 --> 00:21:55,584
Your woes break me, Luka.
344
00:21:56,084 --> 00:21:59,084
[Luka] Then we've got Sven here
bringing back new recruits.
345
00:21:59,168 --> 00:22:01,584
Bad enough
we're putting ourselves out of business
346
00:22:01,668 --> 00:22:03,459
with every monster we kill.
347
00:22:03,543 --> 00:22:05,751
Now there'll be even more of us.
348
00:22:05,834 --> 00:22:09,793
[grunts] Not my fault
people make more kids than coin.
349
00:22:09,876 --> 00:22:12,209
Also, short a man-whore?
350
00:22:12,751 --> 00:22:14,168
Go fuck yourself.
351
00:22:14,251 --> 00:22:15,959
Aren't you "short" everything?
352
00:22:16,043 --> 00:22:19,334
Boys,
monsters will fuck through the winter,
353
00:22:19,418 --> 00:22:22,251
then come spring,
there'll be jobs from here to Nazair.
354
00:22:22,334 --> 00:22:24,709
Until then, I say we perk up,
355
00:22:24,793 --> 00:22:25,709
drink up,
356
00:22:26,209 --> 00:22:30,084
and you two focus on breaking these brats
into the world of witchering.
357
00:22:33,918 --> 00:22:36,543
[Vesemir] "Witchers are rogues
without virtue."
358
00:22:36,626 --> 00:22:39,709
"True diabolical creatures,
fit only for killing."
359
00:22:41,459 --> 00:22:44,293
"There is no place
amidst honest men for them."
360
00:22:45,293 --> 00:22:47,793
My, my. How do you find this rubbish?
361
00:22:47,876 --> 00:22:51,626
A few of the boys spotted 'em
posted about towns on their way back.
362
00:22:51,709 --> 00:22:54,543
"Tetra Gilcrest." Sounds like a botanist.
363
00:22:55,251 --> 00:22:56,209
[Deglan] A purist.
364
00:22:56,709 --> 00:23:00,626
Rambles about being a descendant
of the first human mage.
365
00:23:00,709 --> 00:23:03,209
Would it have vexed you
to bury that lad's sisters?
366
00:23:04,251 --> 00:23:06,876
You're feeding fodder
to arses like Gilcrest.
367
00:23:08,168 --> 00:23:10,209
That's a wyvern tooth, not a basilisk.
368
00:23:10,293 --> 00:23:12,001
I'll mix and match as I please.
369
00:23:12,626 --> 00:23:13,459
[Vesemir] Look.
370
00:23:14,168 --> 00:23:17,168
-You know me and children.
-Get over it, young fella.
371
00:23:17,251 --> 00:23:19,626
'Cause you're teaching fencing
to the recruits.
372
00:23:19,709 --> 00:23:23,376
-[Vesemir] Am I being punished?
-I'm down two dozen witchers this winter.
373
00:23:24,001 --> 00:23:28,126
Wimps found employ
in other more lucrative nonsense.
374
00:23:28,626 --> 00:23:30,834
So we'll all be slogging more weight.
375
00:23:30,918 --> 00:23:34,168
A wonderful winter
of abandoned little tragedies.
376
00:23:34,251 --> 00:23:35,084
Lovely.
377
00:23:35,168 --> 00:23:37,459
[Deglan] Now, this leshen.
378
00:23:38,543 --> 00:23:40,918
Tell me you've considered
the thing was bewitched.
379
00:23:41,001 --> 00:23:42,959
[scoffs] I'm not a dullard.
380
00:23:43,043 --> 00:23:45,376
A croon could pull that feat.
381
00:23:45,459 --> 00:23:47,459
A higher vampire, definitely.
382
00:23:48,251 --> 00:23:51,126
Or it could be a new breed of leshen.
383
00:23:51,209 --> 00:23:54,918
Actually, just elves airing
their usual dirty trousers of victimhood.
384
00:23:55,418 --> 00:23:57,001
[Deglan scoffs] Shame.
385
00:23:58,209 --> 00:24:01,293
A few new beasts would be…
good for business.
386
00:24:06,126 --> 00:24:08,251
[man 1] Why'd the witcher not handle this?
387
00:24:08,334 --> 00:24:11,459
-[man 2] Lies and conspiracy.
-[woman 1] Look away from the faces.
388
00:24:11,543 --> 00:24:12,376
[flies buzzing]
389
00:24:12,459 --> 00:24:14,834
[woman 2] I'd heard
the leshen'd been killed.
390
00:24:18,334 --> 00:24:22,251
[Tetra] A whiff of basilisk breath
could snuff out ten strong men.
391
00:24:23,668 --> 00:24:26,084
[Lady Zerbst] Did you find
the creature's body?
392
00:24:27,543 --> 00:24:30,334
A witcher would need proof
to collect his coin.
393
00:24:31,001 --> 00:24:32,501
And yet…
394
00:24:32,584 --> 00:24:34,209
At least help me persuade the king
395
00:24:34,293 --> 00:24:37,001
to send an envoy
to Kaer Morhen to investigate, please.
396
00:24:37,834 --> 00:24:41,501
Your acolytes have played
to people's fears well enough.
397
00:24:41,584 --> 00:24:44,293
The mere act of sending an envoy
would indict the witchers,
398
00:24:44,376 --> 00:24:45,959
whatever the truth.
399
00:24:46,751 --> 00:24:48,918
Do you know
what's involved in making a witcher?
400
00:24:50,084 --> 00:24:52,168
The horrors done to their recruits?
401
00:24:52,251 --> 00:24:55,001
-Boys no older than your orphans here.
-[children laughing]
402
00:24:55,959 --> 00:24:58,459
Your late husband
would've understood this.
403
00:24:58,959 --> 00:25:01,293
I was an ardent admirer of Lord Zerbst.
404
00:25:02,709 --> 00:25:04,043
He was open-minded.
405
00:25:04,834 --> 00:25:05,834
Forward-thinking.
406
00:25:06,584 --> 00:25:08,334
Married you, after all.
407
00:25:08,418 --> 00:25:10,584
Careful, Tetra.
408
00:25:11,084 --> 00:25:12,334
Or be quiet.
409
00:25:12,918 --> 00:25:16,126
Kaedwen's laws grant a widow
her husband's seat at court.
410
00:25:16,209 --> 00:25:18,834
The laws say nothing
about erasing what she once was.
411
00:25:19,834 --> 00:25:21,793
Well, how fortunate, my lady,
412
00:25:21,876 --> 00:25:24,251
that few have wished to press the issue.
413
00:25:25,334 --> 00:25:27,334
[children grunting]
414
00:25:42,834 --> 00:25:44,501
You ain't fed us in days!
415
00:25:44,584 --> 00:25:47,251
We ain't given sleep, can barely stand up.
416
00:25:47,751 --> 00:25:49,876
Now you got us playing with swords?
417
00:25:51,084 --> 00:25:54,001
I don't wish to be here
any more than you do.
418
00:25:54,876 --> 00:25:56,084
I'll hazard a guess.
419
00:25:56,168 --> 00:25:59,626
You all imagine there are better fates
for you out there in the world.
420
00:26:00,584 --> 00:26:02,709
But out there, you have nothing.
421
00:26:03,918 --> 00:26:05,959
But here, we offer strength.
422
00:26:06,043 --> 00:26:07,793
-[boy grunts]
-Purpose.
423
00:26:07,876 --> 00:26:08,918
[yells]
424
00:26:09,793 --> 00:26:10,668
Respect.
425
00:26:11,168 --> 00:26:14,001
A chance at surviving
the very horrors waiting out there.
426
00:26:14,501 --> 00:26:17,084
If you don't want that, then this…
427
00:26:20,418 --> 00:26:21,584
is wasted on you.
428
00:26:25,209 --> 00:26:27,126
[boy] "And if you don't want that,
429
00:26:27,209 --> 00:26:29,043
then this is wasted on ya."
430
00:26:29,126 --> 00:26:31,709
Ugh. That dorbel's full of shit.
431
00:26:31,793 --> 00:26:34,043
Master Deglan's preparing us for the Path.
432
00:26:34,126 --> 00:26:36,251
-Better hardship here than out there.
-[door opens]
433
00:26:36,334 --> 00:26:37,584
[grunts]
434
00:26:37,668 --> 00:26:39,459
Oh, there's a freeze tonight.
435
00:26:39,543 --> 00:26:41,251
-[horses snorting]
-[boy sobbing]
436
00:26:42,376 --> 00:26:44,334
Shut up and steal what sleep you can.
437
00:26:46,334 --> 00:26:48,626
Ah, don't mind Tomas.
438
00:26:48,709 --> 00:26:50,001
Law of Surprise.
439
00:26:50,084 --> 00:26:52,918
Didn't know he belonged to the witchers
till one came knocking.
440
00:26:53,001 --> 00:26:54,168
Law of Surprise?
441
00:26:54,251 --> 00:26:57,793
[boy] Fancy name for when you can't
pay a witcher. Give 'em your kid.
442
00:26:59,209 --> 00:27:01,334
[Vesemir] Were you sold,
or did you volunteer?
443
00:27:01,418 --> 00:27:04,043
[boy] Uh, my folks dumped me here.
Like most.
444
00:27:04,126 --> 00:27:06,459
Who chooses to be in this pigsty?
445
00:27:09,876 --> 00:27:11,834
-Don't be so scared.
-They're…
446
00:27:12,543 --> 00:27:15,043
-They're going to poison us.
-Who?
447
00:27:15,126 --> 00:27:17,293
[gasps] There are mages here.
448
00:27:17,376 --> 00:27:18,293
Old ones.
449
00:27:18,876 --> 00:27:20,459
Making witchers, they…
450
00:27:20,543 --> 00:27:22,918
They'll kill us. Then bring us back, but…
451
00:27:23,501 --> 00:27:24,793
we won't be normal.
452
00:27:26,084 --> 00:27:29,043
-They call it--
-The Trial of the Grasses. I know.
453
00:27:29,126 --> 00:27:30,459
I get scared too.
454
00:27:31,334 --> 00:27:33,751
Then I think,
"Soon, I'll be out on the Path,
455
00:27:33,834 --> 00:27:36,709
stronger than most anyone,
wanting for nothing."
456
00:27:37,251 --> 00:27:38,584
I'll never be scared again.
457
00:27:39,251 --> 00:27:40,918
[chuckles]
458
00:27:41,001 --> 00:27:43,876
You'll come out the Trials
better than normal, Tomas.
459
00:27:44,751 --> 00:27:45,751
On my word.
460
00:27:57,126 --> 00:27:58,334
[gasps]
461
00:27:58,418 --> 00:27:59,668
[coughing]
462
00:28:04,168 --> 00:28:05,959
-What the…
-[boy] It's Vesemir!
463
00:28:08,834 --> 00:28:11,043
[Vesemir groans] What's happened?
Where are we?
464
00:28:11,126 --> 00:28:14,084
Quiet.
My pa used to talk about this place.
465
00:28:14,876 --> 00:28:16,376
It's the Red Swamp.
466
00:28:16,459 --> 00:28:17,668
It's cursed.
467
00:28:17,751 --> 00:28:20,709
It's crawling
with evil spirits and beasts.
468
00:28:21,293 --> 00:28:22,376
Griffins.
469
00:28:22,459 --> 00:28:23,918
This is a test.
470
00:28:24,543 --> 00:28:25,751
Like all the others.
471
00:28:25,834 --> 00:28:29,543
On the Path,
a witcher's first instinct is to survive.
472
00:28:30,126 --> 00:28:32,126
It's about wits, not swords.
473
00:28:32,209 --> 00:28:34,501
We follow the moon until we're clear.
474
00:28:34,584 --> 00:28:36,626
If there's a monster close,
your medallion will--
475
00:28:36,709 --> 00:28:38,168
[ringing]
476
00:28:48,626 --> 00:28:50,584
-Wraiths!
-[Vesemir] Keep calm!
477
00:28:51,751 --> 00:28:52,751
Stay together!
478
00:28:52,834 --> 00:28:54,209
[screeching]
479
00:28:55,251 --> 00:28:56,668
[yelps]
480
00:28:56,751 --> 00:28:58,501
[wraiths screeching]
481
00:29:11,209 --> 00:29:13,251
-[ringing]
-Huh?
482
00:29:19,668 --> 00:29:20,751
[yells]
483
00:29:21,584 --> 00:29:22,751
[roars]
484
00:29:22,834 --> 00:29:24,459
-[yelps]
-[creature snarling]
485
00:29:29,126 --> 00:29:30,376
[boy groans]
486
00:29:31,043 --> 00:29:31,876
[sighs]
487
00:29:34,793 --> 00:29:35,793
This way.
488
00:29:40,459 --> 00:29:42,584
[creature snarling]
489
00:29:47,668 --> 00:29:49,626
[high-pitched ringing]
490
00:29:50,293 --> 00:29:52,209
[boys screaming]
491
00:30:06,334 --> 00:30:07,168
Uh…
492
00:30:11,043 --> 00:30:12,543
[Vesemir screaming]
493
00:30:15,126 --> 00:30:16,209
[gasps]
494
00:30:16,876 --> 00:30:17,709
[groans]
495
00:30:19,043 --> 00:30:19,876
Oh…
496
00:30:21,001 --> 00:30:22,043
[sighs]
497
00:30:31,709 --> 00:30:32,543
[gasps]
498
00:30:34,126 --> 00:30:35,459
[shudders]
499
00:30:36,709 --> 00:30:38,709
[somber music playing]

[sobbing]

00:30:57,251 --> 00:30:58,834
[weeping]
502
00:31:04,251 --> 00:31:06,001
-[ringing]
-Oh!
503
00:31:10,793 --> 00:31:12,793
[medallion pulsing]
504
00:31:22,168 --> 00:31:23,334
[grunts]
505
00:31:23,418 --> 00:31:25,043
[low droning]
506
00:31:41,168 --> 00:31:43,959
The medallions sometimes sense
the bestiary.
507
00:31:44,793 --> 00:31:47,709
-Especially when it's full.
-[Vesemir] You're one of them.
508
00:31:48,293 --> 00:31:50,668
The mages Tomas mentioned
who make witchers.
509
00:31:51,709 --> 00:31:53,084
You don't look ancient.
510
00:31:53,668 --> 00:31:55,751
Well, mages age quite slowly.
511
00:31:55,834 --> 00:31:56,959
Witchers do too.
512
00:31:57,043 --> 00:32:00,584
Gives us both decades
to hone our respective skills.
513
00:32:00,668 --> 00:32:01,959
The Trials are only part
514
00:32:02,043 --> 00:32:03,834
-of my duty, though.
-[snarling]
515
00:32:03,918 --> 00:32:05,543
Don't fear.
516
00:32:05,626 --> 00:32:08,959
It's merely a side effect
of its hybrid genes.
517
00:32:09,043 --> 00:32:10,793
Krallachs. [chuckles]
518
00:32:10,876 --> 00:32:14,251
I've identified three different species
in this specimen's makeup.
519
00:32:14,334 --> 00:32:16,668
-[gasps]
-It's a nasty little crossbreed.
520
00:32:16,751 --> 00:32:20,501
Master Deglan said
monsters can't mate with other species.
521
00:32:21,001 --> 00:32:24,334
True. Though they can be engineered.
522
00:32:24,959 --> 00:32:27,751
Imagine an army of beasts
523
00:32:27,834 --> 00:32:30,959
designed to wipe out
the elves and the Old Races
524
00:32:31,043 --> 00:32:33,168
to secure land and food.
525
00:32:33,751 --> 00:32:35,251
The alchemy was…
526
00:32:35,334 --> 00:32:36,626
inelegant, though.
527
00:32:37,293 --> 00:32:39,751
Most crossbreeds died instantly.
528
00:32:40,709 --> 00:32:42,501
[Vesemir] Mages made monsters,
529
00:32:42,584 --> 00:32:44,709
then made witchers to kill them?
530
00:32:45,501 --> 00:32:48,501
[mage] Today, my mages and I
guard the secrets
531
00:32:48,584 --> 00:32:50,876
to such mutagenic alchemy,
532
00:32:50,959 --> 00:32:53,209
preventing further abuse.
533
00:32:53,876 --> 00:32:55,418
I'm Reidrich, by the way.
534
00:32:55,501 --> 00:32:57,251
[Deglan] Are you daft, Reidrich?
535
00:32:57,793 --> 00:33:01,584
A witcher deserves
to understand its place in history.
536
00:33:02,334 --> 00:33:04,543
A rider came
while you were licking your wounds.
537
00:33:04,626 --> 00:33:05,876
Left a letter for ya.
538
00:33:05,959 --> 00:33:09,168
Did you know that Tomas and the others
would die in the swamp?
539
00:33:09,251 --> 00:33:11,418
It's a numbers game, young fella.
540
00:33:11,501 --> 00:33:14,418
-[faint growling]
-[Vesemir] How many survive these Trials?
541
00:33:14,501 --> 00:33:17,084
Depends. How many are witchers?
542
00:33:18,793 --> 00:33:21,793
Letter's by your cot.
Read it now, before I burn it.
543
00:33:29,251 --> 00:33:30,501
[Illyana] "Vesemir."
544
00:33:31,126 --> 00:33:34,209
"Your thoughts are likely far from here,
so I will be brief."
545
00:33:35,126 --> 00:33:36,459
"Your father is dead."
546
00:33:37,168 --> 00:33:38,793
"Kaedwen took our village
547
00:33:38,876 --> 00:33:41,209
and he was killed
while helping the lord and lady escape,
548
00:33:41,293 --> 00:33:43,376
-both of whom were also slain."
-[child yelling]
549
00:33:43,876 --> 00:33:46,043
-[wailing]
-"Do not return home, Vesemir,
550
00:33:46,126 --> 00:33:48,459
if this were ever that to you."
551
00:33:49,501 --> 00:33:52,668
"I hope you have found warmth
and comfort in this brittle world
552
00:33:53,168 --> 00:33:57,001
and that the world is being kind to you,
and most of all, fair."
553
00:33:57,918 --> 00:34:02,084
"For me, a noble family from Kaedwen
has claimed me theirs."
554
00:34:03,168 --> 00:34:04,834
"They are kinder masters."
555
00:34:05,334 --> 00:34:09,043
"They let me paint and show me how
to read words, as well as write a few."
556
00:34:10,084 --> 00:34:12,043
"I am well-fed and at peace."
557
00:34:14,418 --> 00:34:16,918
"There was little to miss
in our burnt-out town,
558
00:34:17,001 --> 00:34:20,043
and our snowball fights
and alleyway desserts
559
00:34:20,126 --> 00:34:23,543
are heavy memories
I now happily lay to rest."
560
00:34:24,584 --> 00:34:26,584
[echoing] "Find your rebirth, Vesemir,
561
00:34:27,334 --> 00:34:29,418
free of past burdens and hurts."
562
00:34:30,251 --> 00:34:31,376
"And yes,
563
00:34:32,334 --> 00:34:33,543
free of me."
564
00:34:34,543 --> 00:34:35,876
"It is best that way."
565
00:34:37,376 --> 00:34:38,626
"Live and love well."
566
00:34:39,584 --> 00:34:40,501
"Illyana."
567
00:34:49,209 --> 00:34:51,126
[dramatic music playing]
568
00:34:59,668 --> 00:35:02,168
-[howls]
-[dramatic music continues]
569
00:35:17,543 --> 00:35:19,543
[dramatic music continues]
570
00:35:46,459 --> 00:35:48,584
[indistinct screaming]
571
00:35:53,834 --> 00:35:57,959
Right. So, who wishes to ride
and get blitzed somewhere nice and quiet?
572
00:35:58,043 --> 00:36:01,543
[sighs] We stay and see who survives.
573
00:36:01,626 --> 00:36:03,293
[scoffs] That could take days.
574
00:36:03,793 --> 00:36:05,293
It'll be Eskel, Lambert,
575
00:36:05,834 --> 00:36:06,876
maybe Remus.
576
00:36:07,459 --> 00:36:10,751
Now, can we please go
get right properly drunk?
577
00:36:10,834 --> 00:36:12,334
[Luka] Oh, let them sulk.
578
00:36:12,959 --> 00:36:13,959
We'll drink.
579
00:36:16,626 --> 00:36:18,126
[Vesemir laughing]
580
00:36:18,209 --> 00:36:21,501
The midwife almost fainted
when I came for my payment.
581
00:36:21,584 --> 00:36:25,001
-[woman giggling]
-I looked an awful terror, red and sticky,
582
00:36:25,084 --> 00:36:27,751
but, you know, that's the job.
583
00:36:27,834 --> 00:36:30,084
[woman] And the striga? Was she cured?
584
00:36:30,168 --> 00:36:31,709
[Vesemir] Yes. Yes, of course.
585
00:36:32,709 --> 00:36:35,084
We need more before the next tale.
586
00:36:36,668 --> 00:36:39,876
You know, that midwife
should've hired a better savior.
587
00:36:39,959 --> 00:36:41,501
A man of virtue and honor.
588
00:36:42,084 --> 00:36:43,168
A real man.
589
00:36:43,251 --> 00:36:44,876
Not a mutant.
590
00:36:44,959 --> 00:36:47,626
Are knights being schooled
in striga curses now?
591
00:36:48,251 --> 00:36:51,543
Where'd that lesson fit?
Between learning curtsy and joust?
592
00:36:51,626 --> 00:36:55,084
We're all here for a little drink
and non-violent fun.
593
00:36:56,876 --> 00:36:58,001
Ugh.
594
00:36:58,084 --> 00:37:00,959
Is this the "your kind" bit?
595
00:37:02,001 --> 00:37:03,626
You frighten these people.
596
00:37:04,126 --> 00:37:06,668
As you frightened
that midwife you swindled.
597
00:37:07,251 --> 00:37:08,709
Best you leave.
598
00:37:08,793 --> 00:37:11,126
Right now.
599
00:37:11,209 --> 00:37:13,584
I've seen knights try to do our job.
600
00:37:14,168 --> 00:37:15,876
Tidy up monsters.
601
00:37:15,959 --> 00:37:18,126
Cautionary tales, all of you.
602
00:37:18,209 --> 00:37:19,168
[snorts]
603
00:37:19,251 --> 00:37:20,751
Especially the cute ones.
604
00:37:20,834 --> 00:37:21,876
[growls]
605
00:37:23,876 --> 00:37:28,043
The two witchers should be tried
and executed. No questions asked.
606
00:37:28,126 --> 00:37:29,668
[Lady Zerbst] Silly me.
607
00:37:29,751 --> 00:37:33,834
Here I thought
trials were all about questions.
608
00:37:33,918 --> 00:37:37,376
These two killed two of your guard,
Your Highness. You'd let that stand?
609
00:37:37,459 --> 00:37:41,293
[Lady Zerbst] Sire, the barkeep claims
your knights instigated the altercation.
610
00:37:41,876 --> 00:37:44,626
These witchers were defending themselves.
611
00:37:45,334 --> 00:37:49,418
The people's faith in the monarchy
already wavers due to the forest attacks.
612
00:37:49,501 --> 00:37:53,126
Now they'll hear the crown waxed idly
as two monsters shed knighted blood.
613
00:37:53,209 --> 00:37:55,126
So we should go to war with the witchers?
614
00:37:55,209 --> 00:37:57,876
If only so you can
make them what you fear?
615
00:37:58,793 --> 00:38:01,293
They are deadly. On that, we agree, Tetra.
616
00:38:01,918 --> 00:38:04,793
And such a battle would flood Kaedwen red.
617
00:38:05,334 --> 00:38:08,418
[Tetra] The Assembly should remember
the lady's seat here is honorary.
618
00:38:08,501 --> 00:38:11,709
-[attendants murmuring]
-Yet it is still my chair.
619
00:38:11,793 --> 00:38:15,126
Earned by her body. Not by blood or title.
620
00:38:15,209 --> 00:38:17,668
[groans] Gods, quiet!
621
00:38:18,418 --> 00:38:21,543
I'll have my knights kill you both
for the sake of my ears.
622
00:38:21,626 --> 00:38:24,209
Tetra's right, actually, sire.
623
00:38:24,959 --> 00:38:27,418
Your subjects expect action.
624
00:38:27,501 --> 00:38:30,626
What if you act
on two fronts with one move?
625
00:38:30,709 --> 00:38:34,668
Clear out our forests
while also avoiding war with the witchers?
626
00:38:36,084 --> 00:38:38,043
[stone clinks]
627
00:38:38,918 --> 00:38:39,834
[man groans]
628
00:38:42,376 --> 00:38:44,001
-Guard?
-[guard grunts]
629
00:38:44,084 --> 00:38:45,293
Aye?
630
00:38:46,209 --> 00:38:47,376
Do you hear that?
631
00:38:47,459 --> 00:38:49,709
-It's like this pinging noise.
-Hey!
632
00:38:50,459 --> 00:38:53,376
Are you eager for a beating, mutant?
633
00:38:53,459 --> 00:38:56,918
I'd settle for a pot to piss in
and some halfway decent bread, please.
634
00:38:59,043 --> 00:38:59,876
Oof!
635
00:39:00,584 --> 00:39:01,418
[door closes]
636
00:39:02,001 --> 00:39:04,376
Ah. A bit generous, but…
637
00:39:11,293 --> 00:39:13,209
[Lady Zerbst] No need to split this one.
638
00:39:13,709 --> 00:39:15,418
Not like when we were younger.
639
00:39:15,501 --> 00:39:16,459
[laughs]
640
00:39:16,543 --> 00:39:21,084
I knew witchers aged differently,
but, well, look at you!
641
00:39:22,543 --> 00:39:23,584
Illyana!
642
00:39:23,668 --> 00:39:27,376
No doubt you imagined me
an old spinster by now, slaving away.
643
00:39:28,126 --> 00:39:30,376
That is if you ever imagine me at all.
644
00:39:30,459 --> 00:39:31,668
Uh… your letter.
645
00:39:32,793 --> 00:39:35,168
-You'd been sold to a new estate.
-Yes.
646
00:39:35,834 --> 00:39:37,376
The Zerbsts of Kaedwen.
647
00:39:37,459 --> 00:39:39,376
They were kind enough, but it…
648
00:39:39,459 --> 00:39:43,043
it was their son who was
truly fond of me, despite my station.
649
00:39:44,376 --> 00:39:47,126
[sighs] It's been an age.
Did you ever get that lake house?
650
00:39:47,209 --> 00:39:50,626
Lake house? Oh, my, the lake house!
651
00:39:50,709 --> 00:39:52,418
No lake, no.
652
00:39:53,209 --> 00:39:54,293
But a nice home.
653
00:39:54,876 --> 00:39:57,793
Turned it into an orphanage
after my husband passed.
654
00:39:57,876 --> 00:40:00,251
We had children too. Girls.
655
00:40:00,334 --> 00:40:02,543
Horrors, all three of them.
656
00:40:02,626 --> 00:40:05,084
One just made me a grandmother.
I begged her not to.
657
00:40:05,168 --> 00:40:07,543
[chuckles] But they're
stubborn little needlers.
658
00:40:07,626 --> 00:40:09,501
They often remind me of you--
659
00:40:10,084 --> 00:40:11,418
Oh, gods.
660
00:40:11,918 --> 00:40:13,793
I'm… rambling.
661
00:40:14,293 --> 00:40:15,209
You're bored.
662
00:40:15,293 --> 00:40:17,001
No, no, no. You're fine.
663
00:40:17,084 --> 00:40:20,334
You're good. Uh… this is unexpected, yes.
664
00:40:20,834 --> 00:40:23,751
Little fresh. But, uh… also lovely.
665
00:40:24,251 --> 00:40:25,668
You've had such a full--
666
00:40:25,751 --> 00:40:30,251
You wish to kill my already-dead husband
and burn the orphanage to the ground.
667
00:40:31,209 --> 00:40:33,376
Not the precise words I'd use.
668
00:40:33,918 --> 00:40:35,168
[laughs]
669
00:40:36,626 --> 00:40:38,793
Lord Zerbst was kind to me.
670
00:40:39,751 --> 00:40:41,459
By no means perfect, but…
671
00:40:42,126 --> 00:40:46,168
he's someone you miss very much
when they depart.
672
00:40:48,459 --> 00:40:50,793
The tales I've heard of you, though.
673
00:40:51,293 --> 00:40:54,209
The swashbuckling witcher for hire.
674
00:40:54,293 --> 00:40:56,293
"The slayer Vesemir,
675
00:40:56,376 --> 00:40:59,376
priced only for the foulest of creatures."
676
00:40:59,459 --> 00:41:03,418
Well, not too long ago, you were stuffing
my head full of those very notions.
677
00:41:04,334 --> 00:41:06,793
Years do work differently for you.
678
00:41:06,876 --> 00:41:08,709
[scoffs] What's time, anyway?
679
00:41:09,876 --> 00:41:11,793
-Everything.
-[door opens]
680
00:41:12,793 --> 00:41:16,834
The king is willing to grant you
and your friend amnesty for your crimes.
681
00:41:16,918 --> 00:41:19,418
Then you are reminded
that I carry the duties
682
00:41:19,501 --> 00:41:23,709
of my late husband, the noble Lord Zerbst,
adviser to the throne.
683
00:41:23,793 --> 00:41:26,043
Every deal has a price.
684
00:41:26,126 --> 00:41:29,876
Kill whatever is murdering our people
in the woods outside Ard Carraigh.
685
00:41:29,959 --> 00:41:31,376
And my colleague, Luka?
686
00:41:31,459 --> 00:41:34,001
-He'll have my care.
-Reasonable terms.
687
00:41:34,584 --> 00:41:36,376
You'll take a chaperone too.
688
00:41:36,459 --> 00:41:38,168
That, there, well…
689
00:41:39,043 --> 00:41:40,043
that's a problem.
690
00:41:40,584 --> 00:41:42,293
The Path's quite perilous,
691
00:41:42,376 --> 00:41:45,543
and you are a lady, my lady.
692
00:41:46,376 --> 00:41:49,001
Also, can't have a noble such as you
693
00:41:49,084 --> 00:41:51,876
seen slumming about
with the mutant likes of me.
694
00:41:52,459 --> 00:41:56,043
Then you'll no doubt be pleased
to hear that I am not your chaperone.
695
00:42:02,209 --> 00:42:05,334
I have no intention
of playing guide or nurse to you, witch.
696
00:42:05,418 --> 00:42:07,459
I don't care
who your great-great-whoever was.
697
00:42:12,834 --> 00:42:13,751
On my word,
698
00:42:14,543 --> 00:42:16,126
I will slay this beast.
699
00:42:16,209 --> 00:42:17,459
For you, Illyana.
700
00:42:30,626 --> 00:42:32,459
[Vesemir] Might not be a monster
at all, either.
701
00:42:32,543 --> 00:42:35,668
The leshen that killed your man Carlisle
was bewitched.
702
00:42:35,751 --> 00:42:37,001
By an elf.
703
00:42:37,084 --> 00:42:39,543
-[Tetra groans]
-"Why an elf?" Ah! Glad you asked.
704
00:42:39,626 --> 00:42:42,418
See, another very old
but very young-looking elf
705
00:42:42,501 --> 00:42:46,084
asked me to help him
to find a group of misplaced girls.
706
00:42:47,251 --> 00:42:50,209
Point is, witchering is a business.
707
00:42:50,293 --> 00:42:51,626
You have to keep a brand.
708
00:42:51,709 --> 00:42:56,209
Can't score the big jobs if you're known
for swatting nymphs and helping out elves.
709
00:42:58,293 --> 00:43:00,751
Isn't fire magic forbidden
by upstanding mages?
710
00:43:01,793 --> 00:43:04,168
Only insofar as
there are very few mages blessed
711
00:43:04,251 --> 00:43:06,251
with the skill to control the flames.
712
00:43:08,043 --> 00:43:10,376
[chewing] Huh.
You're very special, clearly.
713
00:43:11,168 --> 00:43:12,584
[burps and grunts]
714
00:43:13,168 --> 00:43:14,668
I must seem silly to you.
715
00:43:15,459 --> 00:43:16,834
But Chaos, it's…
716
00:43:17,751 --> 00:43:20,251
Well, words fail description.
717
00:43:21,876 --> 00:43:24,168
Witchers are connected to Chaos too.
718
00:43:24,251 --> 00:43:27,251
Only your connection
is corrupted and corrosive.
719
00:43:27,334 --> 00:43:28,459
And far less condemning.
720
00:43:32,334 --> 00:43:36,209
There's a story about a witcher
who helped an ailing priest.
721
00:43:36,751 --> 00:43:40,043
The monster-slayer believed
the sickness was, in fact, a curse,
722
00:43:41,459 --> 00:43:43,876
and could be lifted
by killing whoever placed it.
723
00:43:44,376 --> 00:43:47,084
The priest quickly fingered
a local sorceress,
724
00:43:47,168 --> 00:43:49,418
a stupid girl
who always caused him trouble.
725
00:43:50,334 --> 00:43:54,209
The witcher killed her,
and was rightly paid in gems and jewels.
726
00:43:56,001 --> 00:43:58,876
-The priest obviously got better.
-He did.
727
00:43:59,459 --> 00:44:01,209
And then a few days later,
728
00:44:01,293 --> 00:44:05,001
he found a beautiful gem
amid his cook's belongings,
729
00:44:05,084 --> 00:44:08,209
identical to the one
he'd given the clever witcher.
730
00:44:08,293 --> 00:44:10,709
Ah. He had the cook poison
the priest's meals.
731
00:44:10,793 --> 00:44:12,376
Cut him in on the take.
732
00:44:12,459 --> 00:44:15,209
[exclaims] Smart con.
Wish I'd thought of it.
733
00:44:15,918 --> 00:44:16,959
As I said…
734
00:44:17,709 --> 00:44:18,584
corrupted.
735
00:44:30,043 --> 00:44:30,918
Ah, lovely.
736
00:44:31,543 --> 00:44:33,209
-You've led us in a circle.
-No.
737
00:44:33,793 --> 00:44:35,459
I know these forests.
738
00:44:35,543 --> 00:44:37,501
Hmm. So did Lord Carlisle.
739
00:44:37,584 --> 00:44:42,001
At Aretuza, we used magic to cast pleasant
illusions around unpleasant foods.
740
00:44:42,084 --> 00:44:43,834
Made food tastier,
741
00:44:43,918 --> 00:44:46,084
yet the aftertaste of the illusion?
742
00:44:48,251 --> 00:44:49,084
Bitter.
743
00:44:51,376 --> 00:44:56,501
Chaos clear our hearts and minds.
Let our eyes see right and true.
744
00:44:57,168 --> 00:44:59,209
Lift the shroud that cloaks our mind.
745
00:44:59,293 --> 00:45:00,126
[horse neighing]
746
00:45:00,209 --> 00:45:02,793
-Lift the shroud that cloaks our mind!
-[booming]
747
00:45:16,168 --> 00:45:18,501
That illusion was flawless.
748
00:45:19,209 --> 00:45:21,834
The power needed to maintain such art…
749
00:45:22,501 --> 00:45:24,501
[Vesemir] Could also bewitch a leshen.
750
00:45:26,293 --> 00:45:28,293
[ringing]
751
00:45:34,126 --> 00:45:37,543
Garean bhaedh aip me vhoelynath.
752
00:45:37,626 --> 00:45:39,668
-Kitsu?
-Friend of yours?
753
00:45:39,751 --> 00:45:41,001
Friend of a friend.
754
00:45:41,084 --> 00:45:44,043
Garean bhaedh aip me vhoelynath!
755
00:45:44,126 --> 00:45:48,418
Yes. I'll need to know what
and where your den is if I'm to avoid it,
756
00:45:48,501 --> 00:45:50,418
especially since you're, you know,
757
00:45:50,501 --> 00:45:52,209
-slaughtering people over it.
-Witcher.
758
00:45:54,834 --> 00:45:56,668
[roars]
759
00:45:56,751 --> 00:45:58,959
I've never seen
such a species of basilisk.
760
00:45:59,459 --> 00:46:01,918
-Another illusion?
-We'll no doubt find out shortly.
761
00:46:02,876 --> 00:46:04,876
[dramatic music playing]
762
00:46:06,126 --> 00:46:08,126
[screeching]
763
00:46:13,709 --> 00:46:15,209
-[grunts]
-[screeches]
764
00:46:17,293 --> 00:46:18,126
[beast grunts]
765
00:46:30,293 --> 00:46:31,793
[roaring]
766
00:46:35,001 --> 00:46:37,793
I know. She has that effect on everyone.
767
00:46:37,876 --> 00:46:39,584
But still, manners.
768
00:46:49,834 --> 00:46:50,668
[groans]
769
00:47:06,459 --> 00:47:07,751
[screeches]
770
00:47:09,793 --> 00:47:10,959
[creature trilling]
771
00:47:13,543 --> 00:47:14,793
[coughs]
772
00:47:17,418 --> 00:47:18,334
[growling]
773
00:47:22,001 --> 00:47:24,084
[dramatic music continues]
774
00:47:30,376 --> 00:47:31,459
[Vesemir grunts]
775
00:47:33,126 --> 00:47:34,376
[screeching]
776
00:47:34,459 --> 00:47:35,918
[hissing]
777
00:47:46,376 --> 00:47:47,334
[sighs]
778
00:47:50,793 --> 00:47:52,043
[Kitsu] No!
779
00:47:52,126 --> 00:47:54,459
No! [sobs]
780
00:47:55,126 --> 00:47:57,834
-It was real.
-Might have slightly underestimated you.
781
00:47:58,334 --> 00:47:59,459
Slightly.
782
00:48:00,459 --> 00:48:01,959
-Ah.
-[Kitsu crying]
783
00:48:02,543 --> 00:48:04,751
Kitsu, this needn't escalate.
784
00:48:04,834 --> 00:48:06,168
[Kitsu sobbing]
785
00:48:10,126 --> 00:48:11,751
[rumbling]
786
00:48:11,834 --> 00:48:13,001
Uh…
787
00:48:15,334 --> 00:48:16,501
[exclaims]
788
00:48:19,001 --> 00:48:19,959
Oh!
789
00:48:27,376 --> 00:48:28,626
[gasps]
790
00:48:34,418 --> 00:48:35,584
Witcher!
791
00:48:39,209 --> 00:48:40,209
[knife whistling]
792
00:48:50,334 --> 00:48:51,459
[sighs]
793
00:48:59,626 --> 00:49:02,334
Her powers of illusion are unnatural.
794
00:49:02,418 --> 00:49:04,793
First monster
I ever encountered was a mahr.
795
00:49:04,876 --> 00:49:08,501
Made a woman see nightmares
that weren't really there. Illusions.
796
00:49:08,584 --> 00:49:11,918
-Kitsu's an elf.
-Then why does she smell like a mahr?
797
00:49:13,376 --> 00:49:15,376
[Vesemir and Tetra panting]
798
00:49:19,751 --> 00:49:20,959
[Tetra] An elven school.
799
00:49:21,668 --> 00:49:24,334
They used to send their young here
during high summer.
800
00:49:25,001 --> 00:49:29,084
Before repurposing it as a garrison
during your last cleansing spree.
801
00:49:31,709 --> 00:49:32,959
No signs of blood.
802
00:49:34,668 --> 00:49:36,418
I can still smell her, though.
803
00:49:37,084 --> 00:49:37,918
Yes.
804
00:49:38,418 --> 00:49:39,418
She was here.
805
00:49:40,293 --> 00:49:41,626
Just before our fight.
806
00:50:19,584 --> 00:50:20,459
Witcher!
807
00:50:21,209 --> 00:50:22,709
I do have a name, you know.
808
00:50:22,793 --> 00:50:24,543
[gasps] Ugh!
809
00:50:28,459 --> 00:50:29,918
What was done to them?
810
00:50:31,876 --> 00:50:33,293
[Vesemir] They're all elves.
811
00:50:34,043 --> 00:50:35,043
Girls.
812
00:50:35,126 --> 00:50:36,543
[man] Over here.
813
00:50:36,626 --> 00:50:37,459
Help.
814
00:50:48,501 --> 00:50:50,543
Gods, not another favor.
815
00:50:52,376 --> 00:50:53,293
Who's this one?
816
00:50:54,501 --> 00:50:57,918
[Vesemir] My aforementioned friend.
He was searching for those girls.
817
00:50:58,918 --> 00:51:03,084
And I could've saved some, had you
set aside your love of coin and helped.
818
00:51:03,584 --> 00:51:08,126
-[Vesemir] Kitsu's been kidnapping them.
-Yes. Experimenting on the girls.
819
00:51:08,209 --> 00:51:10,959
She's using some strange alchemy
to try to change them.
820
00:51:11,959 --> 00:51:13,793
Change them to what?
821
00:51:13,876 --> 00:51:15,501
Into whatever she's become.
822
00:51:16,376 --> 00:51:20,126
I tracked her here,
tried stopping her, but… Kitsu's power…
823
00:51:20,209 --> 00:51:21,793
And she just let you live?
824
00:51:21,876 --> 00:51:25,584
I understand if that's a concept
unfamiliar to your kind.
825
00:51:25,668 --> 00:51:28,584
If Kitsu was using sorcery
to try and mutate those girls,
826
00:51:28,668 --> 00:51:29,834
who mutated her?
827
00:51:33,584 --> 00:51:36,501
Her genes were spliced
with those of a mahr.
828
00:51:37,168 --> 00:51:39,084
It explains her unnatural power.
829
00:51:39,709 --> 00:51:40,959
She's a crossbreed.
830
00:51:41,043 --> 00:51:42,751
How is such a thing possible?
831
00:51:42,834 --> 00:51:44,418
The same way he was made.
832
00:51:45,209 --> 00:51:46,626
Mutagenic alchemy.
833
00:51:46,709 --> 00:51:49,543
Its secrets known
only to mages at Kaer Morhen.
834
00:51:49,626 --> 00:51:51,251
You're behind all this.
835
00:51:51,334 --> 00:51:52,418
That's ridiculous.
836
00:51:53,876 --> 00:51:56,918
-[grunts]
-Hunting monsters for coin wasn't enough?
837
00:51:57,584 --> 00:51:59,084
Now you make them?
838
00:51:59,168 --> 00:52:00,918
Witchers are struggling, yes, but…
839
00:52:02,126 --> 00:52:06,501
Shame. A few new beasts would be…
good for business.
840
00:52:07,709 --> 00:52:10,293
[Tetra] More monsters,
more jobs, more coin.
841
00:52:10,376 --> 00:52:11,751
Another sharp con.
842
00:52:11,834 --> 00:52:13,751
-I swear, Fil, I didn't--
-[rustling]
843
00:52:21,334 --> 00:52:22,709
Another monstrosity.
844
00:52:24,918 --> 00:52:26,084
[grunts]
845
00:52:26,168 --> 00:52:27,168
[shudders]
846
00:52:27,668 --> 00:52:28,834
She's still an elf.
847
00:52:30,376 --> 00:52:31,251
[sighs]
848
00:52:33,418 --> 00:52:35,209
You saw what these creatures can do.
849
00:52:35,793 --> 00:52:38,418
Fil, if the girl has
even half Kitsu's power,
850
00:52:39,001 --> 00:52:40,293
she's dangerous.
851
00:52:40,376 --> 00:52:42,668
Doesn't this witch say similar of you?
852
00:52:43,793 --> 00:52:47,459
I will take her back to my people.
She will be raised as an elf.
853
00:52:47,543 --> 00:52:48,376
[Tetra] Charitable.
854
00:52:48,459 --> 00:52:52,126
Though I imagine it won't be too long
before you sic her on us.
855
00:52:52,209 --> 00:52:53,418
[Filavandrel] You won.
856
00:52:54,626 --> 00:52:56,126
You beat us.
857
00:52:56,209 --> 00:52:57,876
At least allow us the indignity
858
00:52:57,959 --> 00:53:01,293
of scavenging whatever's left of our kind,
mutant or otherwise.
859
00:53:02,584 --> 00:53:04,584
As a favor to a friend.
860
00:53:07,084 --> 00:53:09,209
Take the child and go. Now.
861
00:53:10,751 --> 00:53:13,126
You have made a serious error.
862
00:53:13,918 --> 00:53:16,334
Should that girl ever harm
a single soul, Fil--
863
00:53:16,418 --> 00:53:17,793
Then I will slay her.
864
00:53:18,418 --> 00:53:21,376
Quietly welcome you and your sword.
865
00:53:24,251 --> 00:53:27,459
I should've offered up some coin.
Then you would've handled matters.
866
00:53:27,543 --> 00:53:29,418
It was not a question of price.
867
00:53:30,709 --> 00:53:32,918
Oh, the witcher's found his morals?
868
00:53:33,001 --> 00:53:36,043
You think you're so pure, Tetra?
Not a blemish?
869
00:53:36,126 --> 00:53:38,668
Look outside. There's your morality.
870
00:53:39,334 --> 00:53:41,668
Rot and ruin all reeking of hate.
871
00:53:42,168 --> 00:53:44,293
Tend to that filth, and I'll tend to mine.
872
00:54:05,626 --> 00:54:07,626
[dramatic music playing]
873
00:54:41,168 --> 00:54:43,168
[dramatic music continues]
874
00:54:48,709 --> 00:54:50,876
[Lady Zerbst] Nothing good
can come of this.
875
00:54:51,501 --> 00:54:53,418
[Vesemir] Fear and ignorance
are good business.
876
00:54:53,501 --> 00:54:55,668
That's what Deglan said
the first time we met.
877
00:54:56,209 --> 00:54:57,084
Now look.
878
00:54:58,084 --> 00:54:59,501
I need to know for certain.
879
00:55:00,709 --> 00:55:03,084
[Lady Zerbst] I'd ask you to flee with me.
880
00:55:07,209 --> 00:55:08,834
I know what you have to do.
881
00:55:09,501 --> 00:55:13,793
And I won't have you feeling
as though you've abandoned me again.
882
00:55:18,043 --> 00:55:20,043
[somber music playing]
883
00:55:39,876 --> 00:55:42,501
-[growling]
-[Tetra] I tried to stop him.
884
00:55:42,584 --> 00:55:45,793
-[hisses]
-But witchers, they never hesitate.
885
00:55:49,876 --> 00:55:52,418
[king] Madam Gilcrest has given proof.
886
00:55:52,501 --> 00:55:54,668
This one breeds monstrosities,
887
00:55:54,751 --> 00:55:56,543
terrorizes my kingdom,
888
00:55:57,126 --> 00:55:59,418
and swindles the people.
889
00:55:59,959 --> 00:56:01,251
[grunting]
890
00:56:01,751 --> 00:56:03,876
What the hell are you talking about?
891
00:56:04,459 --> 00:56:07,834
Sire, not all witchers were aware
of these crossbreeds.
892
00:56:07,918 --> 00:56:10,876
Lady Zerbst,
you are testament to the perils
893
00:56:10,959 --> 00:56:14,001
of trusting a servant.
894
00:56:15,251 --> 00:56:16,209
Your Highness--
895
00:56:19,459 --> 00:56:21,501
If it pleases, sire,
896
00:56:21,584 --> 00:56:24,959
might I ask where Madam Gilcrest is now?
897
00:56:52,168 --> 00:56:54,168
[liquid bubbling]
898
00:57:11,418 --> 00:57:13,001
[creature trilling]
899
00:57:22,126 --> 00:57:24,376
[Deglan] Monsters were going extinct.
900
00:57:24,459 --> 00:57:26,126
I had to protect our way of life.
901
00:57:27,251 --> 00:57:29,709
Think of all the coin
you stand to make, young fella.
902
00:57:29,793 --> 00:57:32,834
-Do not call me that.
-Check your gratitude, boy.
903
00:57:32,918 --> 00:57:34,043
You came to me.
904
00:57:34,126 --> 00:57:36,959
I could've shipped you right back
to those bedpans.
905
00:57:37,043 --> 00:57:39,376
Don't pretend you didn't know
exactly what you were doing
906
00:57:39,459 --> 00:57:40,959
when you threw me those coins.
907
00:57:41,043 --> 00:57:42,334
You knew I would come.
908
00:57:43,043 --> 00:57:45,084
We were created
to kill creatures like these,
909
00:57:45,168 --> 00:57:46,418
not to make them.
910
00:57:46,501 --> 00:57:48,751
I won't weep for doing what needed doing.
911
00:57:49,376 --> 00:57:50,918
I told you.
912
00:57:51,001 --> 00:57:52,834
[Vesemir] A witcher never hesitates.
913
00:57:52,918 --> 00:57:54,001
Oh, I know.
914
00:57:54,084 --> 00:57:58,001
What about with the elf? Did you give
Kitsu a choice before you mutated her?
915
00:57:58,668 --> 00:58:00,376
No, I thought we'd killed her.
916
00:58:00,459 --> 00:58:03,418
That mutation was unstable.
Too much power.
917
00:58:04,084 --> 00:58:07,543
Clearly, her death was one
of her clever little illusions.
918
00:58:07,626 --> 00:58:09,543
[Vesemir] All of this to line our pockets.
919
00:58:09,626 --> 00:58:11,084
[Deglan laughs]
920
00:58:11,168 --> 00:58:14,084
You were always too focused
on the gold in your hand.
921
00:58:14,751 --> 00:58:17,876
You never looked up
to see who's paying you. See their eyes.
922
00:58:18,459 --> 00:58:19,376
We terrify 'em.
923
00:58:19,959 --> 00:58:23,043
The only thing keeping men from hunting us
924
00:58:23,626 --> 00:58:25,709
are the scarier beasts we keep away.
925
00:58:26,376 --> 00:58:31,459
Humans die quick, so they spend
their lives fearing and hating.
926
00:58:31,543 --> 00:58:33,959
Ask the dwarves or your elf friend.
927
00:58:34,043 --> 00:58:36,418
Men will always need monsters.
928
00:58:37,126 --> 00:58:39,668
-Now, so do we.
-We're all orphans.
929
00:58:39,751 --> 00:58:42,209
We've always looked to you to protect us.
930
00:58:42,293 --> 00:58:45,834
You have to burn it to the ground…
or I will.
931
00:58:45,918 --> 00:58:46,959
[Deglan yelling]
932
00:58:52,876 --> 00:58:54,376
I don't want to fight you.
933
00:58:54,459 --> 00:58:56,418
We've got to protect ourselves, Vesemir.
934
00:59:00,584 --> 00:59:01,834
Got to protect you!
935
00:59:08,709 --> 00:59:13,084
If you two would like to stop
trying to kill each other,
936
00:59:13,793 --> 00:59:15,251
we have a visitor.
937
00:59:17,793 --> 00:59:19,209
[Lady Zerbst] She's coming.
938
00:59:20,459 --> 00:59:22,459
[hooves drumming]
939
00:59:24,084 --> 00:59:25,751
[mob yelling]
940
00:59:28,376 --> 00:59:31,293
-[mob clamoring]
-[man] Away with all witchers!
941
00:59:31,876 --> 00:59:34,668
Tetra wasted no time. Word spread quickly.
942
00:59:35,334 --> 00:59:38,626
Not only of the crossbreeds,
but of witchers protecting elves.
943
00:59:39,126 --> 00:59:40,168
And Luka?
944
00:59:42,168 --> 00:59:43,543
This is your two's doing.
945
00:59:43,626 --> 00:59:46,293
They were always gonna come,
sooner or later.
946
00:59:46,376 --> 00:59:49,834
[Vesemir] Well, maybe there was a way
for us to die the better men.
947
00:59:49,918 --> 00:59:54,376
My mages and I are the ones
who know the secrets to mutagenic alchemy.
948
00:59:54,459 --> 00:59:56,959
Tetra will want our heads most.
949
00:59:57,043 --> 00:59:58,626
If we die,
950
00:59:59,251 --> 01:00:02,334
there can be no more witchers.
951
01:00:03,376 --> 01:00:05,334
Seal yourselves in your labs.
952
01:00:05,418 --> 01:00:07,918
The rest of us will rally
and end her little cult.
953
01:00:08,501 --> 01:00:09,751
Bitch won't see dawn.
954
01:00:11,793 --> 01:00:15,668
Underestimate Tetra and you'll be the one
who's seen their last sunrise.
955
01:00:20,501 --> 01:00:22,626
[Vesemir] Perhaps she'll listen to reason.
956
01:00:22,709 --> 01:00:26,334
He may be a bastard… but Deglan is right.
957
01:00:27,209 --> 01:00:28,501
This was inevitable.
958
01:00:28,584 --> 01:00:29,626
Why?
959
01:00:29,709 --> 01:00:31,709
-Because you're different.
-[mob yelling]
960
01:00:31,793 --> 01:00:34,168
[Lady Zerbst] And killing
is easier than tolerating.
961
01:00:36,459 --> 01:00:38,543
I want you as far away from this place
as possible.
962
01:00:38,626 --> 01:00:40,209
There are children here.
963
01:00:40,293 --> 01:00:43,459
-They've been trained.
-Children, Vesemir.
964
01:00:43,543 --> 01:00:45,459
As you were when he took you.
965
01:00:45,543 --> 01:00:48,626
I'll guide them to the cellar
until the battle's won.
966
01:00:49,209 --> 01:00:52,918
For once, I will decide my place.
967
01:00:53,751 --> 01:00:55,376
You've always had too much fire.
968
01:00:56,043 --> 01:00:57,209
And beauty.
969
01:00:57,293 --> 01:01:00,376
Please… I'm nearly 70.
970
01:01:05,084 --> 01:01:06,084
So am I.
971
01:01:09,459 --> 01:01:11,459
[tranquil music playing]
972
01:01:13,251 --> 01:01:15,251
[wind whistling]
973
01:01:19,334 --> 01:01:20,168
[horse snorts]
974
01:01:25,293 --> 01:01:27,293
[tense music playing]
975
01:01:31,876 --> 01:01:34,959
Beautiful peaks. Too pure for war.
976
01:01:35,043 --> 01:01:40,001
Scurry off and return with the body
of the man you murdered, witch.
977
01:01:40,084 --> 01:01:44,043
He was executed in the name
of those your homemade beasts butchered.
978
01:01:44,543 --> 01:01:46,709
There'll be no more of them, Tetra.
979
01:01:46,793 --> 01:01:47,709
Upon my word.
980
01:01:49,168 --> 01:01:51,584
Well, witchers are experts in price.
981
01:01:51,668 --> 01:01:54,209
What is the worth of your word, Vesemir?
982
01:01:54,293 --> 01:01:55,209
Some things…
983
01:01:56,126 --> 01:01:57,334
are beyond cost.
984
01:01:59,376 --> 01:02:00,209
And you?
985
01:02:01,126 --> 01:02:02,626
Do you give me your word?
986
01:02:03,168 --> 01:02:04,668
I give you nothing.
987
01:02:04,751 --> 01:02:09,543
Save the chance to fill the valleys
of our pretty peaks with your corpses.
988
01:02:10,334 --> 01:02:12,293
We are an army of witchers.
989
01:02:12,376 --> 01:02:13,584
You are human.
990
01:02:19,251 --> 01:02:21,084
[wind sighing]
991
01:02:25,043 --> 01:02:27,459

[dramatic music playing]
995
01:03:02,293 --> 01:03:03,251
[Vesemir] Kitsu.
996
01:03:03,334 --> 01:03:06,001
[Tetra] She was gutted
to hear how you sacked her den,
997
01:03:06,084 --> 01:03:09,834
destroyed her work,
and murdered the girl, her only child.
998
01:03:11,168 --> 01:03:12,834
Monsters to fight monsters.
999
01:03:13,459 --> 01:03:14,918
How unlike your predecessors.
1000
01:03:24,959 --> 01:03:27,126
[Deglan] Rally! Rally!
1001
01:03:27,209 --> 01:03:29,709
Steel your nerves, lads. We charge!
1002
01:03:29,793 --> 01:03:32,918
-[Vesemir] Swords away. Swords away!
-We haven't time to hesitate.
1003
01:03:33,001 --> 01:03:34,543
Just bloody trust me for once!
1004
01:03:37,876 --> 01:03:38,834
Please!
1005
01:03:43,209 --> 01:03:45,001
Witchers, on me!
1006
01:03:46,918 --> 01:03:48,918
[monsters growling and chittering]
1007
01:03:54,168 --> 01:03:56,084
-Now!
-[low booming]
1008
01:04:04,209 --> 01:04:07,001
-[Lady Zerbst] Be calm. Be calm.
-[low rumbling]
1009
01:04:07,084 --> 01:04:08,084
You're safe.
1010
01:04:14,418 --> 01:04:16,418
[dramatic music playing]
1011
01:04:38,626 --> 01:04:39,834

[monsters growling and chittering]
1014
01:05:05,793 --> 01:05:08,626
Witchers must be wiped
from the surface of this Earth,
1015
01:05:08,709 --> 01:05:11,876
and all traces strewn
with salt and saltpeter.
1016
01:05:38,168 --> 01:05:39,543
[Deglan] She's going for Reidrich!
1017
01:05:40,626 --> 01:05:44,501
Me and the others will hold the bridge.
Use the drop to halve their numbers.
1018
01:05:46,043 --> 01:05:48,126
You two, stop her!
1019
01:05:49,334 --> 01:05:51,501
Can you forgive me long enough,
young fella?
1020
01:05:51,584 --> 01:05:52,459
[sighs angrily]
1021
01:06:08,751 --> 01:06:10,001

[dramatic music continues]
1032
01:08:03,668 --> 01:08:06,084
If she gets Reidrich, it's the end of us.
1033
01:08:08,668 --> 01:08:09,918
Find her!
1034
01:08:11,626 --> 01:08:13,876
-Stop her!
-[screaming]
1035
01:08:22,084 --> 01:08:23,668
[rumbling]
1036
01:08:24,918 --> 01:08:26,918
There's a hatch in the grain hold.
1037
01:08:27,001 --> 01:08:29,084
It lets out on the back pathway.
1038
01:08:29,168 --> 01:08:30,418
How do you know this?
1039
01:08:30,501 --> 01:08:32,043
He was trying to run away!
1040
01:08:34,793 --> 01:08:36,709
Run as far away as possible.
1041
01:08:36,793 --> 01:08:37,626
All of you.
1042
01:08:37,709 --> 01:08:40,501
Rub the heel raw,
to the bone, if you have to.
1043
01:08:40,584 --> 01:08:41,626
Don't stop.
1044
01:08:50,876 --> 01:08:52,876
[Reidrich praying in Elven Tongue]
1045
01:08:55,668 --> 01:08:57,334
[Lady Zerbst] Lower your swords.
1046
01:08:59,584 --> 01:09:01,376
This is genocide, Tetra.
1047
01:09:01,959 --> 01:09:06,168
They bred those monsters because of you.
There is no purity here.
1048
01:09:06,251 --> 01:09:08,043
Just fear and hatred.
1049
01:09:08,126 --> 01:09:10,584
Enough, please!
1050
01:09:11,418 --> 01:09:14,084
This servant betrays Kaedwen
to the witchers.
1051
01:09:15,043 --> 01:09:16,209
Let her join them.
1052
01:09:23,043 --> 01:09:25,043
[Vesemir yelling] Tetra!
1053
01:09:25,126 --> 01:09:27,501
I can drop your men
