:49:01
Well, I suppose we were all in
love with her in different ways.
:49:05
Even His Grace, the Bishop,
couldnt think of nothing else.
:49:08
The Bishop loved her?!
:49:09
As near as that evil
man could come to it.
:49:14
His passion was a sort of madness.
He was a man possessed!
:49:18
But Isabeau sensed his wickedness,
and she shrank from him.
:49:21
She sent back all his letters
and left his poems unread.
:49:25
Her heart was already
lost, you see...
:49:28
...to the Captain of the Guard.
:49:32
Etienne Navarre!
:49:34
The Bishop knew nothing
about their love.
:49:36
But every day he saw it grow
stronger and deeper and richer.
:49:41
Until...
:49:56
Until?
:50:00
They were betrayed.
:50:04
They shared the same confessor,
a weak, foolish priest.
:50:09
On one day, on a drunken confession to
his superior, he committed a mortal sin.
:50:15
He revealed the lovers secret
vows to the Bishop.
:50:20
The old fool didnt realize
what he had done at first...
:50:22
...or the terrible revenge
the Bishop would exact.
:50:25
His Grace seemed to go mad, he lost
both his sanctity and his reason.
:50:29
He swore, that if he could not
have her, no man would.
:50:34
So, Navarre and Isabeau
fled from Aquila.
:50:40
The Bishop followed, ever more ardent,
ever more persistent than a hound.
:50:46
An evil man, a powerful
man, hated and feared;
:50:49
Rejected even by Rome itself.
:50:52
He called upon the
powers of darkness...
:50:55
...for the means to
damn the lovers.
:50:59
In his fury and frustration,
he struck a dreadful bargain...
