1:03:01
Oh, then all too late
I bring this fatal writ.
1:03:04
"And if we miss
to meet him handsomely--
1:03:06
sweet huntsman Bassianus 'tis we mean--
1:03:09
do thou so much as dig
the grave for him.
1:03:12
Thou know'st our meaning.
1:03:14
Look for thy reward...
1:03:15
among the nettles at the elder tree
1:03:18
which overshades
the mouth of that same pit
1:03:20
where we decreed to bury Bassianus.
1:03:22
Do this and purchase us
thy lasting friends."
1:03:24
O Tamora! Was ever heard the like?
1:03:26
This is the pit
and this the elder tree.
1:03:28
Look, sirs,
if you can find the huntsman out
1:03:31
that should have murdered
Bassianus here.
1:03:32
My gracious lord...
1:03:33
here is the bag of gold.
1:03:39
Two of thy whelps,
1:03:41
fell curs of bloody kind,
1:03:42
have here bereft
my brother of his life!
1:03:47
Sirs, drag them from the pit
unto the prison.
1:03:49
There let them bide
until we have devised
1:03:52
some never-heard-of
torturing pain for them.
1:03:55
High Emperor,
1:03:56
upon my feeble knee I beg this boon
1:04:00
with tears not lightly shed
that this fell fault
1:04:02
of my accursed sons...
1:04:03
accursed, if the fault
be proved in them--
1:04:05
If it be proved?!
1:04:06
You see it is apparent!
1:04:09
Who found this letter?
1:04:11
Tamora, was it you?
1:04:12
Andronicus himself did take it up.
1:04:15
I did, my lord.
1:04:18
Yet let me be their bail,
1:04:19
for by my father's reverend tomb I vow
1:04:21
they shall be ready
at Your Highness' will
1:04:24
to answer their suspicion
with their lives.
1:04:25
Thou shalt not bail them!
1:04:31
See thou follow me.
1:04:35
Some bring the murdered body,
some the murderers.
1:04:38
Let them not speak a word!
The guilt is plain!
1:04:44
For by my soul,
1:04:46
were there worse end than death,
1:04:49
that end upon them
should be executed.
1:04:59
Andronicus,
I will entreat the king.
