Episode cover: CHAPTER #5

00:00:00 - Chapter 5. The death of a king. After a night fell with frightening dreams, Macbeth walked to the sound of McDuff and Captain Lennox knocking on his bedroom door.

00:00:12 - Good morning, noble lord, said Lennox.

00:00:15 - Did you sleep well? Last night I heard screams and cried outside.

00:00:20 - Yes, I heard them too. Maybe it was the guards. They were very drunk.

00:00:25 - Replying Macbeth, hiding his face.

00:00:28 - Well, go now, said Macduff.

00:00:31 - It's time to wake his majesty.

00:00:34 - Moments later, Macduff and Lenox enter Macbeth's room once again, in great shock.

00:00:40 - Oh, horror, horror!

00:00:43 - Macduff cried in great agitation.

00:00:45 - Sound the bell, the king is dead!

00:00:48 - Somebody murder him in the night!

00:00:50 - Lenox, go and wake Baku, Donovan and Malcolm, go at once, Macbeth, say Macduff in shock.

00:00:57 - Come and see what they did to our noble king!

00:01:00 - There's a murder almost us.

00:01:03 - Macbeth tried to see him for us.

00:01:05 - Well, find out who did this and they will pay for their crime.

00:01:09 - He cried following Macdoff out of the room.

00:01:12 - Just then, Lady Macbeth appeared, looking angry and frightened.

00:01:16 - What happened?

00:01:17 - She demand.

00:01:19 - Why is the bell ringing?

00:01:21 - My dear lady.

00:01:22 - Say the Lennox slowly.

00:01:24 - I don't know how to tell you this terrible news.

00:01:27 - Our noble king is dead.

00:01:29 - Dead?

00:01:30 - Lady Macbeth repeated, trying to sound surprised.

00:01:34 - Just then, Macbeth returned with Dukensons and Baku.

00:01:38 - It's true, it's true, Macbeth cried.

00:01:41 - The king is dead, his guards killed him.

00:01:44 - They still had dangers in their hands and blood on their faces.

00:01:48 - I was furious. I took revenge and killed him.

00:01:52 - At this, Lady Macbeth fainted and fell to the ground.

00:01:56 - Lady Macbeth! cried Banquo.

00:01:59 - Give me some help here, this is no place for a woman.

00:02:03 - Lennox ran to help Banquo.

00:02:05 - You're right. Get her out of here.

00:02:08 - He agreed.

00:02:09 - We'll meet later and decide what to do.

00:02:12 - Nox, Banquo and Macbeth carried Lady Macbeth out of the room, but Joakim's sons, Malcolm and Donwell, stayed behind.

00:02:22 - What will you do, Donald Bane?

00:02:25 - Ask Malcolm quietly.

00:02:26 - I'm not waiting for murders to get me to, I'm going to England.

00:02:31 - Now!

00:02:32 - Then I will go Ireland, replied Donald Bane.

00:02:36 - If we stay together it's easy for them to find us, let's separate.

would be safer that way. The two brothers hugged each other and left the room quickly to plan their escape. News of the king's death circulated quickly. They were many rumors on the castle and nobody tones about his murder. Many people suspect Malcolm and Donald Bay had killed their father, the king, because they had left Scotland immediately after his death. Why didn't they tell anyone where they went? The people asked. Why didn't Malcolm stay and take the throne of Scotland? It is not responsible behavior to abandon the country like this. Ducan was dead, his sons were gone, and Scotland had to have a new king. But who? As Ducan's most important soldier,

00:03:29 - Macbeth was the obvious choice. He was crowned king of Scotland, just like the witches had predict. At night Captain Rose was a guard outside

00:03:40 - Macbeth's castle. An old man affored him some whiskey. The night was cold and Rose accepted it gratefully. The two men drunk in honor of a new king and began to talk about the murder of their old king. I have seen some terrible things in life. The

00:03:59 - The old man said, I knew something bad was going to happen.

00:04:04 - I saw signs.

00:04:05 - Signs?

00:04:06 - Ask Rose curiously.

00:04:09 - What do you mean?

00:04:10 - Yesterday, one of Deucan's beautiful horses suddenly turned into a wild beast.

00:04:16 - The old man whispered, I saw a mouse kill an eagle.

00:04:20 - Nature was telling us that evil was in the air.

00:04:24 - Perhaps you are right.

00:04:26 - Said Rose shockfully.

was turned upside down.

00:04:31 - Day is night, and night is day.

00:04:35 - That's true," said the old man, shaking his head sadly as he walked away.

00:04:41 - Baku sat alone inside Dancing and Castle thinking about the events of the previously night and the witches' prophecies.

00:04:49 - They all came true.

00:04:51 - He said to himself,

00:04:53 - Macbeth got it all, Lord of Coldor and King of Scotland, just like the Prophet.

00:04:59 - Then he remembered something else.

00:05:02 - The witches also said, my children would be kings, he thought.

00:05:08 - Would that also come true?

00:05:10 - He heard footsteps coming towards him.

00:05:14 - I won't think about this now.

00:05:17 - In another part of the castle, Macbeth was walking around his room nervously.

00:05:22 - He had afforded three poor men an important job, without telling them what it was.

00:05:28 - Now he waited for them and his dogs become more and more anxious.

00:05:33 - Those three old women were right in all their prophecies.

00:05:37 - He thought.

00:05:38 - But they also predict that Baku's children will become kings.

00:05:43 - I haven't got children to become kings after me.

00:05:46 - Did I murder Duken to make Baku's children kings?

00:05:50 - He might realize I'm murder duke, now I have no choice, I must stop him.

00:05:57 - Just then there was a knock on the door, come in, said Macbeth.

00:06:02 - The three poor men entered to the room, well, said Macbeth, I will make you all rich men if you do one thing for me.

00:06:13 - Tell us and we all do it, your majesty, reply one of the men.

of the desperate for money to feed our families.

00:06:21 - The other men nodded.

00:06:22 - Baku is my enemy, said Macbeth slowly.

00:06:26 - You must find him and his son, Flance, and kill them as soon as possible.

00:06:32 - Don't return until you have done it.

00:06:35 - He added in a frankly tone.

00:06:37 - Yes, Your Majesty, we all obey.

00:06:40 - Said the men together and left the room hurriedly.

00:06:44 - This time Macbeth felt no guilt.
