Episode cover: CHAPTER #3

00:00:00 - Chapter 3 Lady Macbeth's idea. It was evening and Lady Macbeth was sitting in her bedroom in Dunsin Castle. She was reading the letter from her husband by candlelight. Her mind raced as she imagined Macbeth's meeting with the three strange old woman in the forest. Lord of Glamis, soon to be Lord of

00:00:27 - Kodor? Then King? She read aloud, repeating Macbeth's word. This is a sign, a wonderful opportunity for Macbeth to be king of Scotland and for me to be queen. Lady Macbeth walked around the room, deep in thought, I know you are ambitious, I know you want to do great things.

00:00:51 - She said, imagining she was talking to her husband.

00:00:56 - But I know you are too kind to commit murder.

00:01:00 - And that's certainly what you must do for us to become king and queen."

00:01:07 - Lady Macbeth put the letter on the table, her eyes shining with strange excitement.

00:01:14 - She went to the mirror and exempted her reflection, and then walked to the open window.

00:01:20 - Nothing moved outside, and the night was silent.

00:01:25 - Finally Lady Macbeth heard the unmistakable sound of Riven, a sign of evil in the air.

00:01:33 - It sounds like a witch's laugh.

00:01:37 - She exclaimed trembling.

00:01:40 - Just then a messenger knocked on the door and entered quickly.

00:01:44 - Well, said Lady Macbeth, coldly without turning away from the window.

00:01:50 - What is it?

00:01:52 - My gracious lady.

00:01:54 - King Ducan is on his way to this castle, with his servants and wants to stay here.

00:02:01 - Say the messenger respectfully.

00:02:03 - You must prepare a great banquet for his majesty.

00:02:08 - Lady Macbeth did not turn round.

00:02:11 - All will be well.

00:02:13 - She said as she sent the messenger away with an impainted wave on her hand.

00:02:20 - As soon as he left, she turned away from the window and fell to her knees in prayer.

00:02:25 - Oh, you murdering spirits!

00:02:28 - She cried patiently.

00:02:31 - Turn my tucks black with evil.

00:02:34 - Stop me thinking like a woman and help me to attack like a man.

00:02:38 - Fill me with terrible cruelty and give me the power to put murder into Macbeth's heart.

00:02:47 - As she said these words, she heard Macbeth's footsteps on the stairs and stood up.

00:02:53 - My noble lord of Glamis, and now of Kodor, cried with a smile as she was kissing her husband.

00:03:02 - Your letters have filled me with a wild happiness that I can't describe.

00:03:08 - I am happy to be home with you again, my love," said Macbeth, accepting a large glass of Wynn from his wife, but Wynn must get ready, King Ducan arrives here tonight.

00:03:21 - Yes, I know, his wife replied as evil thoughts filled her brain.

00:03:28 - For how long?

00:03:29 - When will he leave?

00:03:31 - We'll go tomorrow morning, reply Macbeth.

00:03:35 - King Ducan won't see the sunrise tomorrow or even again, whispered Lady Macbeth to her husband.

00:03:43 - We must act quickly and decisively.

00:03:47 - When he arrived, you must look like an innocent flower.

00:03:51 - But you must behave like the snake hiding underneath it.

00:03:56 - Macbeth didn't understand.

00:03:58 - We all never see the sunrise again.

00:04:01 - What are you talking about?

00:04:02 - He asked, but stopped abruptly as he started his wife's face and her meaning became clear.

00:04:11 - I can't do such a thing.

00:04:13 - Do you hear me?

00:04:14 - I won't."

00:04:15 - He shouted, but Lady Macbeth only shoot her head.

00:04:20 - She whispered putting her finger on the husband's lip, and his words of protest died away.

00:04:27 - My love, we can and we will, said firmly.

00:04:32 - We must act tonight while the king is sleeping.

00:04:36 - If we don't take this opportunity now, we will never have another one.

00:04:41 - Leave everything to me.

00:04:43 - I will plan it all.

00:04:44 - Now we must prepare to welcome the king.

00:04:48 - With these words, Lady Macbeth kisses her husband and walked from the room, leaving Macbeth alone in shock and confusion.
