EPISODE ONE
Who is that? Is hell opened up? Madness comes out through the umbilical cord. In all of this dirty city there is no-one that I can trust, do you understand? When you live alone with a madman, you become half mad yourself. Please don't talk to me of sense, because if it is you, I might believe it. And I have sworn to do very foolish things. People who do not know me soon come to understand that I do not have any sense. I remember you. Heard the stories. If I give you a girl, I will never see her again. I heard you done a lot of evil over there. You don't even ask how your own blood fares. I have no fear to feed you with. I did as others did and as others had me do, and we are all owned, and we have all owned others, so don't you dare stand there and judge me. I know things about the dead. I'm tired of these empty threats you keep bandying around. I'm not a fit man to be around children. One remembers those one looks up to more readily than those you look down upon. I hope I can trust you to keep the secrets of the past buried in a deeper grave.
EPISODE TWO
Why do you even believe I'm telling the truth? Breakfast will be out in half an hour if you can contrive to stay alive that long. You have goodness in you. I can see it in your eyes. I would rather that you worked with me rather than against me. Someone has been brought here to try and kill me. I want to speak to them and ask them why. Love is a kind of madness, isn't it? I missed you. I couldn't bear to see you alone. Is it my loudness that troubles you? In the forest, no. In the jungle, no. You used to straighten your skirt and march away like nothing had ever happened. Why don't you tell your friends that you're sick and you can come and hear everything?
EPISODE THREE
You're in safe hands. Your devil saved you. You take pain like a stone. When you sit there with that same look of defiance on your face, I will ask you the same old question-- for what do you risk your life? I just know everything. Always assume I just know. You're not going to get caught because I will protect you. You know, I was in love with you back then. Of course you know. Talk to me, for fuck sake. I'm a little drunk for business. Your leaving was the click of the hypnotist's fingers. I woke from a trance and realised the depth of our sin. There is enough treachery already surrounding us that there is no need for us to add to it. We used to talk to each other without words in dark corners. Please understand that from this moment I will burn your letters without opening them. I will visit you in your dreams, my love. You seem to know such a lot for somebody who knows so very little. You should know that I am a very dangerous man. To think I have this wicked, wicked thing beneath me and it's my lifelong duty to punish her. It exhausts us both. A beautiful exhaustion. You summoned me. I am here now. What do you want? I used to think we were the same person. If you're here just for a wank, pull your pudding and get it over with and let the rest of us enjoy Shakespeare! You have many suitors among the rabble, I imagine, and I, for the longest time, have been one of them. I am a lady of particular tastes. An admirer from the darkness and from on high. You are a weakness.
EPISODE FOUR
You will answer to God for this. Each ribbon represents a reason not to comply. As each ribbon is untied, a reason disappears. As we explore ways to make you change your mind these next few hours we will be doing God's work. When they speak of you, there is such hatred now. Before, they laughed. They can't kill you, but they will crucify your name and crucify all those around you. I don't keep anybody around me that doesn't deserve what they get. You know, semen not ejaculated at the point of passion turns to poison and narrows the mind. Eventually, you become an ape. You said I'm a weakness. I wasn't weak. All of those that I gather are damned. It's just part of a company policy of mine. How the hell can you walk around a house this old without making a noise? When was the last time you set foot inside a church? Judging by the horror on the faces of the ladies, you are known. I knew that when you saw me, you would come to me and I realise that is how it always is. You feel me, don't you, when I break in? I could come more often, but I spare you. You are in every way an unopened box. Just when I think it's empty, I hear a tiger roaring inside it. I control the timing of this. At all times your life is in my hands. You fucked her, and you lay your hands on me?! I know I will have my satisfaction. I declare it! I challenge you to a duel. At dawn to the death.
EPISODE FIVE
Dear God, have mercy on my soul. It would appear that my life is more precious than yours. I shot him. Between the eyes. And a host of devils flew out of the hole in his head and down the river. You will hang. They will catch you and hang you. Look, I'm very happy to admit that I don't want you to die. But can you also admit that you don't want you to die? They say he's the devil, but not to me. Now there is nothing up that road for you apart from death, so you run along and tell your friends how you almost lost your heart. Not only is she among the large number of women I would sleep with, she's also among the much smaller group of women I would masturbate over. I am inside your head. Always. What the hell are you doing here at whatever the hell time of night it is? Why do you always look down your nose at my plans? You said his name! In your sleep. You said his name. You need a priest, my dear. Trust requires a little time. We have no warmth here.
EPISODE SIX
What are you scared of? Go home to your mother. She loves you. You're safe there. Go to sleep. All will be well. Help yourself to breakfast. He won't be dead, and he won't be happy. You can depend on that. Never lock your door or draw your robe against me again. Come now, all is forgotten. How ridiculous it's all been, and you and I fighting like children. Careful not to wake the dead as they reach their final resting place. Three days and not a word? Did you think it would go unnoticed? What have you done? You are sending me home? I will get rid of the body. No one will know. You are betrayed. You shouldn't be here. Take that dress off. Take that fucking dress off now. I need to ensure no one else betrays me. You don't want much, do you? The devil's here. Go get some sleep. No. Go away. I'm busy. I'm not fit to be near you now.
EPISODE SEVEN
I thought, in all your charity, you might extend some sustenance and some shelter to this poor, unfortunate boy. Come into the house, we'll find you something to eat and somewhere to sleep. You've a heart, at least. I do know you cared for her. You were kind to her. She told me. I received a message that you wished to speak with me. When you first came back, you told me you loved me. I know you. I know your nature. The lioness will fiercely protect her cubs, regardless of the consequences. Even if that means her certain death. You will not harm her. She is harmed enough already. He's been there all day, either mad or sick or drunk. We knocked. He won't answer. You are not sick and you are not dead yet. Come out, or I will come in there and drag you out. You did him a kindness. Put an end to his pain. I killed him! You came back too late! For both of us. You are far, far too precious to go anywhere. I am scornful of those who judge. You are a fool. They are going to hang you. I cannot pack up my entire life in five minutes. Well, what's the use in hiding? I suggest that you leave very quickly and very, very quietly or you can stay for the extreme violence that is coming your way. I want her to forgive me. You know it's a sin not to tell the truth in a sacred place. We are aware that you have a certain capacity for pain. My God, look at you. Well, your plan worked. You in a cell, me on a hook. I'm here. What do you want? They will walk you along a tight rope. A line between life and death.
EPISODE EIGHT
At last, I have found a way out of the cage which I have been living. I intend to leave. Travel to a place where I will be free. It is a place where some day I hope we will meet and be happy. I witnessed and participated in darkness that you cannot conceive. How the hell did he find me? He sees me in my dreams. Is that it? I will gain revenge on those who stole my body. If it was down to me you'd have been dead long ago. But the orders are you shouldn't be harmed. You know what happens to little boys that lie don't you? My only appointment is with intoxication. Whatever my destination, if you survive your recklessness please, keep some part of my soul inside your own. If she were dead I would know it. I would hear her and I would feel it. How did I not know? You've lots of people waiting for you. People who have given up everything for you. If anything, it's a fine day to die at sea. You came back. You told me you loved me. You were not born for freedom. You wouldn't know what to do with it. It would torture you. I'm sorry for what I did to you. I'm sorry. You are forgiven.
