"What is this barrier?" "It is new." "Passage must be permitted by the Princess or the young baron." "Is the old man dead?" "It is a pity." "Are these your horses?" "Do you have a permit?" "A permit?" "I've been this way twenty times without a permit." "No passage without a permit." "You need a permit, or you can go back the way you came." "I bring these horses to market." "For thirty they are yours." "Can't sell for less than that." "I bought them for twenty pounds just in the last month." "You can not pass." "You don't have any permission." "So you are serious about this permit?" "Then leave us something- -horses, the two shining black ones." "He can have them back when he gets a permit." "My horses?" "That is ridiculous." "I have to sell them." "I agree." "Good." "Let the two black horses stay here." "Cesar, take care of the horses until I return." "Where are my horses?" "The two black horses that stood here." "Kohlhaas." "Governor." "Magnificent." "He is magnificent." "It is truly exceptional." "I don't know how you do it." "Any other merchant would have kept it to himself, but you..." "Going to be tough negotiating, isn't it?" "What are you doing there?" "Who gave you permission to take them out?" "Thief." "Go find him and get him." "Is that not the Bible?" "Don't you read aloud?" "It is the Bible." "But not in Latin." "Do you like to read?" "Through a glass...... darkly." "Through a clouded glass." "That is imagery." "A way of seeing the world." "Dark." "Something you see, but do not recognize." "An enemy." "Or a friend." "Or self." "I have something for you." "I dare not look." "Do you know what I thought, the first time I saw you?" "If I could touch that man  only once." "He is so handsome..." "I would stroke him even in a pig trough." "You make me blush." "Are you going to make love?" "Mother says that I am not allowed to pretend being asleep when I hear you." "I heard you." "Who did this?" "Where is my servant?" "Gone." "Took to the road." "We ourselves look after the horses." "We work to pay for their maintenance." "What happened to him?" "He wanted to take off with the horses." "That is what happened." "So we caught the horses, but he escaped." "I don't believe any of it." "Well, there it is." "You believe what you want." "I am here for my horses, my Lord." "The two sable riding horses ..." "I left them with you as collateral." "They are in the stable." "Cesar was just to see to their care." "He was making a big fuss because they were dirty and had to work." "Those are not my horses." "I left you two magnificent animals well-fed and in good health." "I want my horses as they were." "My Lord!" "The Princess no longer grants toll privileges." "You have played me for a fool!" "Now I want my horses back." "I'm going to go to court, my Lord." "What is this money for?" "Show him." "I want to file a complaint before the Court." "A claim of compensation for the damage suffered by me and my servant Cesar." "The right of toll collection no longer exists." "The Foreign Ministry confirmed." "Cesar has always been at my service." "They have set dogs on him." "I leave you to estimate the cost of the damage." "And I say that I want my horses as they were." "Well-fed and in good health." "It is a colt." "He is for you." "Look ..." "He stands up!" "I returned from the Court." "Your claim is rejected." "This is the third time." "There will be no other." "The baron who has wronged you... he is a relative of a gentleman of the Court." "I advise you to go and recover your horses yourself." "Why don't you dismount?" "I can not stay." "I have to go back." "Do you have something to eat?" "Please..." "Do not press me." "So it ends here?" "Kohlhaas..." "Are you so weak that you can't stand the loss of two horses?" "Why don't you answer?" "Go get those horses." "Which horses?" "Those half-dead beasts..." "I saw three months ago?" "I would prefer that you leave me out of this." "Mother, come and see." "We recognize the lawsuit filed by the dealer of horses, Michael Kohlhaas, against his Lord." "We believe that the Baron of Aujac, where he left horses, should not keep them... and Kohlhaas should reclaim them himself or indicate where the baron can bring them." "We consider as well that Michael Kohlhaas is a frivolous litigant and give instructions to the Chancellery that these allegations proceed no further... under penalty of imprisonment." "Are you selling your property?" "If you buy now, I won't haggle on the price." "How much would you give for everything?" "For the whole?" "Everything." "The land, the buildings..." "Is it true what Cesar says?" "Dad is bringing his suit to the Princess?" "That you are going to sell the house?" "Are you going to get rid of us?" "Judith." "God has given me a wife... children... whom I love more than anything." "You want that I repent for the first time in my life?" "What should I do?" "What excuses should I give to the baron?" "Give me your suit to the Princess." "Let me go." "Judith..." "There is an Entourage surrounding the Princess." "How are you going to penetrate her?" "With a sword?" "The Entourage around the Princess is a court." "If you really want your complaint to be heard..." "My love..." "Let me go." "Walk back with the mare." "I can go faster without you." "Lord..." "Lord of Lords..." "Ye who knows our thoughts ..." "Creator of Thunder, lightning, fog wind, snow and rain ..." "Ye, who creates mortal beings, that keeps them and nourishes them." "Receive the soul of Judith." "Receive the soul of Judith." "Sprinkle over it the dew of your grace." "Sprinkle over it the dew of your grace." "Under the shadow of your wings." "Under the shadow of your wings." "Sir, Judiths passing gives me great sadness." "Lord..." "Let her be with you." "Amen." "I can continue." "Lisbeth." "When everything is finished, I will return for you." "I promise you." "Giddyup." "The Bible tells us that we must forgive our enemies." "I pray to God... that he never forgive me ... the way I will forgive this dog of a Baron!" "Get dressed." "Leave here." "Take this." "The baron goes on foot." "He can't have gone too far." "We are following." "What are you saying?" "I'm here, Sir Kohlhaas... and I give you my respect." "One man and his horse against the world." "That is very strong!" "Also..." "I have also broken the law." "Listen, listen!" "I have also broken the law." "Sometimes." "Like all men." "I mean." ".. If there is a God of Justice..." "I am not sure what will happen." "If I weight on one side of the balance what I did and on the other side what was done to me..." "Look, look!" "Look, we have come to Sir Kohlhaas." "It is for you." "You'll have to wait a bit, but he will fatten up well." "How much?" "No, no, no." "Nothing." "It is a gift." "Kohlhaas does not accept gifts." "We pay." "Who of you knows how to fight?" "And who has gone to war before?" "Do you know what the nobles do to peasants who rebel?" "They cut your fingers off." "They stab your eyes out." "They torture you slowly." "It takes a whole day." "The death of a farmer is like a joke." "I was a soldier." "I know what I'm talking about." "You, the big one, come with me." "The rest of you, go home." "Eh, I..." "I..." "I can fight." "Show me." "I want to learn." "I have to see Sir Kohlhaas." "It is important." "You brought the pig." "I have not forgotten it." "The baron..." "The baron..." "I know where he is." "When I was a child, a rebellion broke out... in a close neighboring province." "And one day, there arrived a beggar at the house of my father ... and went into my father's house, with a manifesto of a rebel." "It was a day of celebration, a public holiday." "We had guests in each room." "The priest read the first article and everyone burst out laughing." "My father tore up the manifesto and scared away the beggar, hitting him with a stick." "Why?" "The peasants complained, in those twelve articles... that they were treated like dogs." "I was twelve years old." "A month later began the great peasants' revolt." "My father lost his life." "Three of our family homes were burned and destroyed." "Tell the Governor that this is the most inconspicuous I could find." "Hurry and don't talk to anyone." "What are you waiting for?" "Hurry up." "The flowers are in bloom on Judith's grave." "Thank you though." "The neighbor doesn't want the house anymore." "He will caretake it for you." "You can return to buy back your land when you want to." "You know that I can't stay with you." "I know." "What do you want me to do?" "Go home." "What are you going to do with her?" "She is my daughter." "Any news from home?" "No one is judging you." "There is not a single bad word against you." "And you?" "How do you feel about me?" "The baron has left the Abbey." "Is it for the mother that he goes to war?" "No." "For horses?" "No." "Cesar!" "Two squadrons." "Eighteen men." "My men." "We do not plunder." "We buy." "We pay... the owner." "And we do not accept donations." "People give because they are afraid." "War does not give us rights." "Demand tolls..." "Plunder, steal..." "That is what the Baron does." "That is not what we do." "We are going forward." "Your house is looted." "Show me the person in charge." "Do you have something to say?" "Is that your idea of Justice?" "Your own men putting up?" "Is that why you burned and massacred?" "It seems that you are preparing to devastate an entire city." "All these people you lead to war..." "Do you know what awaits them?" "What do you tell them?" "That Kohlhaas is a victim of a great injustice?" "You're a trader." "You have a thriving business." "For you, life is good." "What have you done to obtain justice?" "I see that your heart is damaged." "You have led all these people ... into a war that does not concern them." "The sword that you wield-- It is not the sword of Justice." "You are not a soldier of God." "God has... been forgotten... throughout this State." "Kohlhaas..." "What awaits you on this earth is the gallows." "And all of you?" "You know very well what awaits you." "It is an honor to meet you." "Do you know me?" "I have read your Bible and I read it to my children." "If everyone acts as you do ... there would be no law, no order." "And you..." "What would you do, if your own troops ... fought every man for himself, to take justice into their own hands, and each sought his own revenge?" "You would say that no one should be allowed to take the law into his own hands." "No one may be judge in his own cause." "God would help you to... know how to suffer as He asked." "If you've learned to endure and bear injustice." "A Christian should not fight with sword and musket ... but with the cross and patience." "His triumph is not in domination and power ... but in submission and humility." "I have put my life on the line to convince the Church and the princes... that they do not have to fear us." "That we ask only one thing:" "to be able to live and thrive in their midst." "Your rebellion ... has inflicted great damage on our cause." "The woman..." "I loved ... who has borne my children ... went to the Palace of the Princess ... to beg ... to see justice be served with good reason." "Put the weapons down." "If the baron cares for my horses " "In the name of their faith and that of your children!" "With his own hands..." "All children raised by our principles!" "If he returns my horses in good health I will put my weapons down." "And if not?" "You say that you mourn the loss of your wife." "You're despondent." "Do you know that there are ways of defeating death?" "All living species have their own way." "From the Ant to Man." "Your..." "You've got the easiest." "Thou shalt not kill." "Death is a choice." "He who does not kill, does not die." "What you must weigh is which shows more strength... getting rid of your enemy or the injustice he has done to you." "I'm just asking you to think on whether what you're about to do ... is in line with the right ... and with your own conscience." "It is good to speak with the unfortunate with words that fly like arrows." "But don't you ever think, in your own end... about the child that you are going to leave behind?" "Of the thoughts of you that will disappear?" "Don't forget;" "we die alone." "You've had this all this time with you." "The Princess is negotiating." "Not me." "I am not asking anything more than what is written there." "I would have preferred that you are in agreement with the spirit of the writing instead of the terms of the Princess." "Will you hear my confession?" "Get on your knees." "Are you willing to forgive your enemy to retrieve your horses and take them home to care for them?" "I am willing to forgive those that have done me injustice without realizing it." "But..." "The baron..." "Let me insist that he himself brings the horses back to health." "Pastor?" "You deny me peace?" "With God, yes." "Peace with the Princess- that is in your hands." "The Princess of Angouleme, Queen of Navarre, sister of the King... agree to give Michael Kohlhaas the right... to have his case tried again... on the condition that he relinquish his weapons." "In the event that the Court dismiss your request..." "Kohlhaas will be presented before the law to be tried for having taken the law into his own hand." "On the contrary, if the Court finds him in the right... he and his troops will be forgiven... and granted amnesty for the violence they have committed in the land." "I saw injustice." "That is why I took to the weapons." "They will have my weapons." "I am not going to fight any more." "Everyone returns home." "Today no one will die." "And those who are already dead?" "And Cesar?" "Amnesty!" "Surrender your guns!" "We put down our weapons!" "Everyone!" "Have you handed in your weapons?" "Everything, yes." "Do you have children?" "No." "A woman?" "No." "Do you have any weapons?" "I have nothing left." "That is good." "I cannot go anywhere." "Do you know where Jeremie is?" "Do you know where you are going?" "Michael Kohlhaas?" "Your Majesty." "Do you know who I am?" "My father called you "Majesty"." "It was in my palace that your mother was injured." "Would you believe me if I told you I'm sorry?" "Do you think that it was my fault?" "The city that formerly we were preparing to destroy- surrendered their arms..." "I was there." "I did not have as many men as you." "I could have taken much more with their power, so why give up?" "I don't want more, Majesty." "Just what belongs to me." "Are you a fanatic?" "I have principles." "A relative of the baron used his position to ensure your claim was rejected." "Did you know?" "Yes." "You're just like me." "You live both by love as well as by the fear you inspire." "If you inspire only fear, everybody despises you." "And if only love..." "it's a sign of waekness." "You are now alone, unarmed... against armies--- with a child." "I would like you to accept a guard." "Your Majesty, I do not want " "Two men... for your protection." "Until the judgment." "Your horses may be found with the baron." "In poor condition, but alive." "Go to identify them." "The Court will see that you are returned them in their original state." "You will have what you wanted." "Four troughs?" "There will be four." "Two mares and two colts." "You have everything ready?" "Are we going to the market?" "We are waiting for the new ones." "They come with us." "You are afraid of me?" "I do not know." "Those are the orders." "You have your orders." "I'm going to do what I please." "One of your men did not surrender his weapons." "Two nobles were killed, they stole their property... and they gave it to the peasants." "But I have no more men." "An investigation is underway." "The Princess gave me her word." "The Princess believes that you have broken the terms of the Amnesty." "Does that make me a prisoner?" "Down on the ground!" "Lisbeth." "It is time to go." "Where is the house?" "We are going in the exact opposite direction." "Lisbeth!" "Eat." "I am afraid that I am going to have to live with my aunt." "We cannot live alone, Lisbeth." "I don't even know her." "I know it." "And the house then?" "What do you mean?" "What happens with the house?" "Can I return there?" "Lisbeth ..." "That is not possible." "Apples from your home." "The neighbor agrees." "I have spoken with him." "He wrote a letter with the details." "They pray here any time of the day." "The bell rings and they kneel all at the same time." "I had forgotten." "Only the Jews and we remain standing." "What's going to happen... is that hard?" "It is difficult for me to find..." "I do not know." "A Word." "The Princess intervened." "I'm not going to be tortured." "Or skinned alive." "Or burned at the stake." "Thanks to God." "Do you know something else?" "Yes." "Would you like to tell me?" "No." "The worst thing is the uncertainty." "I count." "Every day brings me closer to Judith." "And further away from Lisbeth." "It is not the death." "Death, to which I am accustomed." "I have faith." "But to know absolutely the day, the time and the way... that is the heaviest." "Kohlhaas..." "In the name of Marguerite, Princess of Angouleme" "Queen of Navarre sister of the King." "Today, I give you the justice that you sought." "We return what they took by force." "Your horses." "Monetary reparation for your servant." "Cesar had no family." "Give this to someone who needs it." "Compensation for yourself." "Two years in prison for what he did to you." "You have what you wanted." "Lisbeth..." "I know you're angry." "I ask you to forgive me." "I was lucky to have you." "You're very brave." "You hurt me in the fingers." "I want to go." "Right away." "Go with her." "Are we waiting for something?" "No." "Michael Kohlhaas" "Now that your rights have been publicly restored... get ready to answer, for breaking the peace and violating public policy..." "His Majesty the King, asserts his rights to recover ... as represented here by this body of law." "I am ready." "Translation:" "Phil Taylor"
