00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,120
known to Englishmen.

5
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:20,240
Mr Wraxhall was a man
past middle age,

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,240
possessed of some private means,

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,600
and very much alone in the world.

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:31,480
His travels took him,
in the autumn of 1863,

9
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,720
with some digressions, to Sweden.

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,600
As to Mr Wraxhall's character,

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,640
he was an intelligent
and cultivated fellow.

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,960
His besetting fault was that
of an inquisitiveness,

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,840
possibly a good fault
in a traveller.

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,120
Certainly a fault for which
this traveller

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,920
paid dearly enough in the end.

16
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,000
Ah.

17
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,640
Is it to your liking, Herr Wraxhall?

18
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,120
Erm...

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,680
HE SPEAKS SWEDISH STILTEDLY

20
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,640
In English, please, dear sir.

21
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,880
In English.
I do not expect you to...

22
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:29,600
Oh, most kind. I can - erm, if
I flatter myself - read a little

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,440
of your mother tongue,
but as for conversation... Ha!

24
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,400
Everything is very much to my
liking, Froken De la Gardie.

25
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,880
And may I say, once again, how
very, very kind it is of you...

26
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:45,280
Oh, it is nothing, sir. Nothing.

27
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,160
But...it-it was to the soup
I-I was referring.

28
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,920
Well, my palate, like my Swedish,
is somewhat limited.

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,360
Although, as with my languages,
I am determined to broaden it.

30
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,280
Uh, them.

31
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,800
We have so few visitors here
in Vastergotland.

32
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,160
Since my husband passed away...

33
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,880
..the house has been so very silent.

34
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,200
Hmm. So sad.

WRAXHALL SLURPS

36
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,320
You are indeed most welcome.

37
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,200
And it is fascinating, is it not,

38
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,800
to have one's family history
investigated?

39
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,000
Well, I-I-I very much hope so.

40
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,160
Well, so long as you do not, erm...

41
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,400
..erm...

42
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,160
..disturb any skeletons.

43
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,120
I have no intention of so doing.

44
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,080
The papers that I'm particularly
interested in concern

45
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,760
the correspondence between your
ancestor, Sophia Albertina,

46
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,840
in Stockholm, and her married
cousin, Ulrica Leonora,

47
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:51,160
here in Raback in 1705...

48
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,440
You are absolutely sure? We have
14 bedrooms here at Raback...

49
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,400
13 or 14. I forget.

50
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,760
I wouldn't dream of imposing upon
your hospitality any more, Froken.

51
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,200
The village inn is perfectly
suited to my purposes.

52
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:12,840
Very well.

53
00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:16,240
Until tomorrow. Until tomorrow.

54
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,960
Oh.

55
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,600
Who is this fearsome looking chap?

56
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:25,880
Ah.

57
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,680
You are gazing upon the very first
De la Gardie.

58
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,240
He who built Raback.

59
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,880
A most extraordinary man
was Count Magnus.

60
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,720
Well, he looks it. Yes.

61
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,160
A most extraordinary man.

62
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,040
Goodnight, Herr Wraxhall.

63
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,320
Yes. Goodnight, Froken De la Gardie.

Ah, thank you. Goodnight, yes.

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,320
Oh.

67
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,800
Thank you.

68
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,560
Ah.

69
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,160
God morgon, Herr Nielsen.
God morgon.

70
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,880
Herr Nielsen, I-I wondered if you
could just satisfy my curiosity.

71
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,480
To be sure. How...

72
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,600
Ah.

73
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,400
How can I be of service?

74
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,200
Well, yesterday I was
introduced to a Count Magnus.

75
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:28,880
What?

76
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Oh, his portrait, that is.

77
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:32,120
Ah.

78
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,240
Yes, it's a very fine portrait,
in my estimation.

79
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,600
And the gracious lady who so kindly
has given me access to her archive

80
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,200
told me a little bit about him,
but I wondered whether you...

81
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:44,560
Count Magnus.

82
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,840
His name is not good hereabouts,
Herr Wraxhall.

83
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,840
He's not kindly remembered.

84
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,040
Oh.

85
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,280
Do tell.

86
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,000
Ah... It's a long time ago.

87
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,080
But for a scholar, like me,
this is just meat and drink.

88
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,240
Well... Please, please.
I'm most eager to learn.

89
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:00,280
Oh...

90
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,520
There was some trouble
not long after the...

91
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,240
..the great house was built.

92
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,800
People rose up,
there was discontent.

93
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,960
Oh, yes. Oh. I see.

94
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,160
Peasants, all that sort of thing.

95
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,480
Yes, you know, you're rather more
prone to it here on the Continent,

96
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,360
aren't you, than we... Erm...

97
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,520
Sorry, do go on.

98
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,160
The uprising,
it was put down by the Count.

99
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,760
And he, he was merciless,
always merciless.

100
00:05:26,840 --> 00:05:30,440
Tenants were flogged or branded
if they were late with the rents,

101
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,200
and some houses that he said
encroached on his land

102
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,360
were...were burnt down,
with the people still inside.

103
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,160
Oh. Gracious.

104
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,320
And then, of course,

105
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,560
there was the other matter.

Uh, you must excuse.
W-w-what other matter?

109
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,920
The Black Pilgrimage.

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,480
Oh.

111
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,280
What's that? I must go. I'm sorry.

112
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,400
I have businesses in Skara.
I will be back this evening.

113
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,280
One moment more.
I'm sorry. Herr Nielsen.

114
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,400
What was the Black Pilgrimage?

115
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,400
It's said that Count Magnus
brought something back with him.

116
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,360
Something...

117
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,040
..or someone.

118
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:26,400

Erm...

124
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,960
I don't do that.

125
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,800
Oh. The Count built it?

126
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,680
His mausoleum. His tomb.

127
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,800
Oh, how fascinating.

TUNEFULLY: Sophia Albertina...

131
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,120
..she got so much leaner.

132
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,680
When she ate the beetroot soup...

133
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,320

too tedious, Herr Wraxhall.

Oh, on the contrary, dear lady.
On the contrary.

00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,080
might I crave a... Yes?

173
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,800
..a visit?

174
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,880
It would be so helpful
for my researches.

175
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,720
Certainly.

176
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,560
It is in the care of the church
in the next village.

177
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,360
I shall have a word with the deacon.

178

00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,520
I beg your pardon?

180
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,680
Well, I saw someone,
standing on the steps.

181
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,200
Locking - or unlocking,
I suppose - the door.

182
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,800
That must have been
your deacon. Yes.

183
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,840
It must have been.

184
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,960
LIVELY CHATTER

185
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,720
Herr Nielsen!

186
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,200
I know something about that
Black Pilgrimage you mentioned.

187
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,760
What was it that the Count
brought back with him?

188
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,000
I, erm... Go on. You may as well
tell me everything you know.

189
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,560
Herr Wraxhall, I will tell you
this one little tale and no more.

190
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,240
Not any more.

191
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,080
You must not ask me anything
when I have done.

192
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,960
Is that agreed?

193
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,560
Very well.

194
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,600
In my grandfather's time...

195
00:12:48,680 --> 00:12:53,440
..there were two men,
Anders Bjornsen and Hans Thorbjorn.

196
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,360
They were simple men
from hereabouts.

197
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,320
Hans was a blacksmith, I think,
and Anders Bjornsen a carpenter,

198
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,760
and he was a beautiful man.

199
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,840
Note that, Herr Wraxhall -
he was once a beautiful man.

200
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,680
THEY ALL SING

201
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,640
These men, they said,
"Count Magnus is dead.

202
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,400
"The count is long dead.
We don't care for him.

203
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,520
"Tonight we will go for
a free hunt in his wood."

204
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,320
That's the long wood on the hill
that you have seen outside Raback.

205
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,720
Those who heard them say this,
they said,

206
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:38,880
"No.

207
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,000
UNTRANSLATED

208
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,280
"Don't go.

209
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,000
"If you go, you will meet
persons walking

210
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,800
"that should not be walking.

211
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,800
"They should be resting.

212
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,520
"Not walking."

213
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,120
But these men, they laughed.

214
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,240
Vi kommer!

215
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,320
Vi kommer, Greve Magnus!

216
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,280
So, that evening
they go into the wood.

217
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,360
And my grandfather,
he was sitting here in this inn.

218
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,880
It was, uh...summer
and a light night,

219
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,200
and with a window open, he could...
he could see out to the wood.

220
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,200
And hear.

221
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:32,720
So, he sat there,
and two or three men with him,

222
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,560
and they listened.

223
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,440
At first, they hear nothing at all.

224
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,320
Then...

225
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,240
TERRIFIED SCREAM

226
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,920
DISEMBODIED LAUGHING

227
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,160
It was not one of those
two men that laughed.

228
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,120
Indeed, they have all of them said
that it was not any man at all.

229
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,080
When it was quite light enough,
they fetched the priest.

230
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,280
They said, "Father, put on
your gown and your ruff

231
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,720
"and come and bury these men,
Hans Thorbjorn and Anders Bjornsen."

232
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,840
Understand, they were sure
these men were dead.

233
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:27,160
But they went to the wood,
and they found the men there.

234
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,600
Hans Thorbjorn was standing
with his back against a tree,

235
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,680
and all the time he was
pushing with his hands.

236
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,200
Pushing.

237
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,560
Pushing away something from him
which wasn't there.

238
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,800
So, they led him away and they...

239
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,360
..they took him to the house
at Nykoping, the madhouse.

240
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,160
And he died before winter,
but he...he went on pushing.

241
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,600
And, also,
Anders Bjornsen was there.

242
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,560
But he was dead.

243
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,640
I told you this about
Anders Bjornsen

244
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,000
that he was once a beautiful man.

245
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,280
But now his face was not there,

246
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,080
because the flesh of it had been
sucked away off the bones.

247
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,960
You understand that?

248
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,280
My grandfather couldn't forget it.

249
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,440
And so they laid him down on
the bier that they had brought,

250
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,320
and they put a cloth over his head.

251
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,360
MEN SING PSALM

252
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,480
They could not close the eyes
of Anders Bjornsen

253
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,200
because there was nothing
to close over them.

254
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,880
This they could not bear.

255
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,640
Therefore, the priest
sent for a spade,

256
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,040
and they buried him in that place.

257
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,720
You will need a drink.

258
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,680
NARRATOR: It could not be
denied that all this threw

259
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:19,920
a rather lurid light upon the
tastes and beliefs of the count.

260
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:26,440
But to Mr Wraxhall, separated
from him by so many, many years,

261
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,920
the thought that the great man
might have added to his general

262
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,360
forcefulness alchemy, and to
alchemy, something like magic...

263
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,360
WRAXHALL: Oh. God morgon!

264
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,520
..only made him a more
picturesque figure.

265
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,360
Chorazin.

266
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,120
Chorazin?
Oh, yes, yes, Chorazin, yes.

267
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,040
You're a man of God.
What do you know of it?

268
00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:58,840
Why do you want to know?

269
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,280
I have an inquiring mind.

270
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:06,640
As I recall, erm,
it's in the Apocrypha, isn't it?

271
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,920
It was a town in the Holy Land.

272
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,440
If you know, why do you ask?

273
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,080
Oh... I beg your pardon.

274
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,880
It was a town cursed by our Lord,

275
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,120
for they were unaffected
by his mission.

276
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,000
Then began He to upbraid
the cities wherein most

277
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,600
of His mighty works were done,
for they repented not.

278
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,840
Woe unto thee, Chorazin!

279
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,200
Woe unto thee, Bethsaida!

280
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,120
Matthew 11, 20 to 24.

281
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,400
Luke 10, 13...
Yes, it must be a bit of...

282
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,280
..to 15.

283
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:46,000
Yes. It must be a bit of a ruin now.

284
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,560
Mm.

285
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:49,560
And didn't I read somewhere...

286
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,400
..the Antichrist?
The Antichrist will be born there.

287
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,720
Yes.

288
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,520
Uh...

289
00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:59,920
Erm...

290
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,320
Tack.

291
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,520
DEACON CLEARS THROAT

292
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,640
So, the Count, he journeyed
to Chora...Chorazin?

293
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,680
Is that the tale?

294
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,920
And he wasn't alone
when he returned?

295
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,600
Do you happen to know
what the panels represent

296
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,760
on the sides of the tomb?

297
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,600
There is one figure, it's most
peculiar. Is it a man at all?

298
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,920
It has some kind of protuberance,

299
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,880
like the tentacles of a devil-fish.

300
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,840
There are tales, Herr Wraxhall.

301
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,360
Oh, yes?

302
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:33,040
Tales I was going to say...

303
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:35,760
..that I have forgotten.

304
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,120
God dag, min herr.

305
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,440
Oh. Well, thank you, once again,
for sparing the time.

306
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,760
Oh... Oh!

307
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,640
PAPERS RUSTLE
Sorry.

308
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,440
Here, allow me.

309
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,240
Are you awake, Count Magnus?
Are you asleep, Count Magnus?

310
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,880
WRAXHALL CHUCKLES

311
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,760
Oh.

312
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,400
How odd I didn't notice that.

313
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,720
I felt sure. Hmm.

314
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,640
Yes.

315
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,160
No, no, no, no.

316
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,880
The Count sleeps safe enough.

317
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,600
Right.

318
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,840
Well, alas, dear lady,
the old country beckons.

319
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,960
It's been so good to have life
in the old house again.

320
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,560
Jollity and singing.

321
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,840
Oh, gracious, um,
you didn't hear me?

322
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,080
Upon occasion, ja. Most ingenious.

323
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,280
Oh! And what of your researches?

324
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:29,040
Oh, illuminating,

325
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,040
if only one had more time.

326
00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:33,560
That is the one thing
none of us have enough of.

327
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,040
Is that not so, Herr Wraxhall?

328
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:37,760
Well, your ancestor, the count,

329
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,840
he certainly tried his best

330
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,080
to beat time's winged chariot,
I mean. Indeed.

331
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,480
But it's all nonsense,
of course, isn't it?

332
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,680
Local superstitions and fears
all mixed up with titbits

333
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,600
of fact and speculation.

334
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,840
As you yourself observed,
he was an extraordinary man,

335
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,040
but I hardly think he would have
made a bargain with the devil

336
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:03,480
to live forever.

337
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,960
The Black Pilgrimage.

338
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,000
Oh, you know of it?
We're an old family, Herr Wraxhall.

339
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,520
The count, he cast
a long shadow over us.

340
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,520
I was raised on these stories
of his journey to the Holy Land,

341
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,800
a most unholy business.

342
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,240
Of his coming back with...

343
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,120
..a companion.

344
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,680
It's deeply fascinating,

345
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,920
as I say, for a scholar like myself,
these, um...these fairy tales.

346
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,200
Fairy tales?

347
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,280
I wish you a safe journey,
Herr Wraxhall.

348
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,440
Take care.

349
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,200
Take good care.

350
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,200
Oh.

351
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:17,680
Yes, well...

352
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,840
It would be remiss of me

353
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,400
not to say goodbye to
the old boy, wouldn't it?

354
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,720
After all the fun he's given me.

355
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,240
Oh, Count Magnus. Count Magnus.

356
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,120
It is with sadness...

357
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,680
HE CHUCKLES

358
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,840
..that I bid thee farewell.

359
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,640
Oh, dear old Magnus, Count Magnus,

360
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,600
be thee in heaven
or be thee in hell...

361
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,520
Oh, best not say that.

362
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,760
Yes.

363
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,600
You may have been
a rascal in your time,

364
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,560
but I'd dearly like to see you.

365
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,040
Or rather...

366

00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,600
What have I done?!

375
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,040
NARRATOR: Poor Mr Wraxhall.

376
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:51,880
He set out on his journey
to England the next day

377
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,640
and eventually reached there
in safety.

378
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,320
And yet, as can be gathered
from the changed hand

379
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,560
and inconsequent jottings
of his notebooks,

380
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,040
he was a broken man.

381
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:09,400
He seems to have become
obsessed with enumerating

382
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,080
and describing
his fellow passengers...

383
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,600
Commercial traveller.

384
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,320
There's no...no trouble there.

385
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,440
Black cloak.

386
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,200
Brown hat.

387
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,040
I couldn't see his face!

388
00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:25,680
I couldn't see his face.

392
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,880
They're coming.

393
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,520
That much is obvious.

394
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,880
They're coming to get me.

395
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,440
It's coming.

396
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,480
It!

397
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,360
What did I ever do wrong?
What wrong did I do?

398
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,920
I didn't do anything. What did I do?

399
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,480
I can't go to the doctor, can I?

400
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,640
He'll lock me up.
HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY

401
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,080
Policeman. Policeman.
HE LAUGHS

402
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,760
They'd just laugh at me.

403
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,120
Why not?
Who'd believe such a story?

404
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,240
I scarcely...scarcely
believe it myself.

405
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,440
The Deacon. The Deacon.

406
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:00,800
Vicious...

407
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,640
He knew all along.

408
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:08,560
Perhaps they warned you.

409
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:12,800
All of them!

410
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,000
Oh, God!

411
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,240
What have I done?

00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,720

Oh, God. Oh!

00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,800
Oh, God!

421
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,720
People in that village
still remember

422
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:08,160
how a strange gentleman
arrived one evening years back.

423
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,840
And how, the next morning,
he was found dead.

424
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,640
There was an inquest
and seven of the jury

425
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,840
that viewed the body fainted.

426
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,440
And none of them would
speak of what they saw.

427
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,320
The verdict was "visitation of God".

428
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,680
And here I lie with my companion.

429
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,520
Waiting.

430
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,720
And still they come,
like poor Mr Wraxhall.

431
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,680
Curious, over-inquisitive.

432
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,360
Fresh...
