00:00:00 - Chapter 1, News of the battle.

00:00:06 - On a cold winter day in Scotland, two sinister witches appeared in a wild dark forest.

00:00:14 - As the light disappeared and shadows fell, they huddled together to stay warm.

00:00:20 - Lightning flashed and thunder was heard in the dark sky.

00:00:26 - The witches talk in a strange language, and no human could understand it.

00:00:33 - Double-double, toil and trouble, far-born and cauldron bubble.

00:00:39 - They cried, When will the three of us meet again as one of the witches?

00:00:49 - Later, after the battle is lost and won, replied the second, with a strange smile pulling her old clock around her.

00:00:58 - Well, we'll meet here in the forest and wait for Macbeth.

00:01:05 - These days, Abel's actions are good and good actions are Abel.

00:01:10 - With that, the lightning flash again and the three witches disappear from view in clouds of thick smoke. In a field not far away, King Duncan of Scotland and his army saw the smoke rising from the forest. They thought it was from the fires which burned after the long and bloody battles between the Scottish army and the Irish rebels. The king sat with his general inattent and discused the latest battle reports. Suddenly, the king noticed a man riding his horse slowly towards the tent. There was blood on the man's head.

00:02:20 - He was badly injured while he was trying to save me from the savage enemy.

00:02:28 - I must go and help him at once.

00:02:31 - Immediately Malcolm went to help the man get down from his horse.

00:02:38 - Slowly and with difficulty, the injured man entered the tent and bowed before the king.

00:02:47 - Hello there, my good man, cried King Duncan, looking with concern at the captain injuries.

00:02:57 - I see your badly hurt. My doctor will help you, but first tell me. What news do you bring about our battles against the murderous illustrators and rebels? We know that the king of Norway is helping them. Tell us quickly. What have we won and who have we lost?

00:03:22 - Your Majesty, we've won our battles and our glories.

00:03:28 - A Scottish army is victorious," cried Lennox, putting his hand together as though he were giving thanks to God.

00:03:38 - It was a desperate fight.

00:03:40 - He continued, and we almost lost.

00:03:43 - The Captain Powell paused as he remembered the brutal fighting.

shown with pride, but he seemed close to tears. But the real hero was Macbeth. I've never seen a soldier like him. He fought so bravely and for so long. He didn't think about his own safety. His only concern was for you, your majesty.

but the captain passed and looked down at his feet. He wasn't sure if he should continue. Go on, the king said. Tell us everything. Is your obligation as captain? The captain looked into the honest face of his king, but before he could tell his history, captain Rose, one of the king's personal soldiers, approached the tent, riding quickly and horseback.

00:04:49 - Your Majesty, I'll go news about Mac Donwald.

00:04:55 - He cried, jumping from his horse and running into the tent without waiting for permission to speak.

00:05:04 - That man was terrible, Triter.

00:05:07 - He was leading the Irish rebels against you.

at Dunwald, show the king.

00:05:15 - That's impossible.

00:05:16 - I've always been good to him.

00:05:19 - I gave him the title Lord of Coder, which made him the official governor of all Coder.

00:05:29 - It's true, Your Majesty.

00:05:31 - I swear it.

00:05:33 - Protest Captain Lennox, weeping the sweet from his face and accepting some water from Malcolm.

00:05:41 - He was conspiring against you and against Scotland, but Macbeth knew what he should do.

00:05:50 - He killed Macdonald before he could hurt you, your majesty or the kingdom.

00:05:59 - Just for a moment, the king's face showed shock and anger, but soon he was strong again.

00:06:07 - Go, he ordered Rose.

00:06:09 - Go and give Mac Dunwall's title to Macbeth.

00:06:13 - He deserved to be called Lord of Codor.

00:06:18 - Go at once, just your majesty, replied the rose.

00:06:23 - I'll go immediately, immediately.

00:06:27 - He got on his horse and disappeared into the forest.
