Episode cover: chapter 7

1. News of the Battle On a cold winter day in Scotland, three sinister witches appeared in a wild dark forest. As the lights disappeared and shadows fell, they huddled together to stay warm. Lightning flashed and the thunder was heard in the dark sky. The witches talk it in a strange language and no human could understand it.

00:00:31 - Double-double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble. They cry it. When will the three of us meet again? Ask one of the witches mysteriously. Later, after the battle is lost and won, reply the second with a strange smile, pulling her old cloak around her.

00:00:56 - Will made hater in this forehead and wait for Macbeth, loved the third witch in delight. These days, evil actions are good and good actions are evil.

00:01:08 - With that, the lightning flashes again and three witches disappear from view in clouds of thick smoke.

00:01:15 - In a field not far away, King Duncan of Scotland and his army saw the smoke rising from the forest.

00:01:25 - They thought it was from the fire which burned after the long and bloody battles between the Scottish army and Irish rebels.

00:01:36 - The king sat with his generals in a tent and discussed the latest battle reports.

00:01:42 - Suddenly, the king noticed a man riding his horse slowly towards the tent.

00:01:48 - There was blood on the man's head.

00:01:50 - Who's this?

exclaimed the king.

00:01:53 - What is his business?

00:01:54 - Is he a friend or an enemy?

00:01:58 - My noble king, I know this man, replied Malcolm, one of the Duncan's sons.

00:02:04 - That's brave Captain Lennox.

00:02:06 - We fought together in a battle two days ago.

00:02:10 - He was badly injured while he was trying to save me from the savage enemy.

00:02:16 - I must go and help him at once, immediately Malcolm went to help the man get down from his horse.

00:02:24 - Slowly and with difficulty, the injured man entered the tent and bowed before the king.

00:02:31 - Hello there my good man, Private King Duncan, looking with concern at the camp taint injuries.

00:02:40 - I see your really badly hurt, my doctor will help you, but first tell me, what news do you bring about our battles against the martyrs, Irish traitors and rebels?

00:02:53 - We know that the king of Norway is helping them, tell us quickly, what have we won and who have we lost? Your Majesty, we won our battles and our glorious Scottish army is victorious,

00:03:11 - Cry Lennox, putting his hands together as though he were grieving thanks to God.

00:03:19 - It was a desperate fight, he continued, and we almost lost.

00:03:23 - The captain paused as he remembered the brutal fighting, his eyes shone with pride, but he seemed close to tears.

00:03:36 - But the real hero was Macbeth, I never seen a soldier like him, he continued, 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 paused and looked down at his feet. He wasn't sure if he should continue. Go on, the king said. Tell us everything. It's your obligation as a captain. The captain looked into the honest face of his king. But before he could will tell his story. Captain Rose approached the tent, riding quickly on horseback.

00:04:30 - Your Majesty, I've got news about McDonald. He cried, jumping from his horse and running into the tent, without waiting for permission to speak. That man was a terrible traitor.

00:04:47 - He was leading the Irish rebels against you.

00:04:52 - Mcdonald shouted the king. That's impossible. I've always been good to him. I gave him the title Lord of Caudor, which made him the official governor of Caudor.

00:05:12 - It's true, Your Majesty, I swear it. It protested Captain Lenox, wiping the sweat from his face and accepting some water from Malcolm.

00:05:24 - He was conspirating against you and against Scotland, but Macbeth knew what he should do.

00:05:31 - He killed Macdonald before he could hurt you, Your Majesty or the Kingdom.

00:05:37 - Just for a moment, the king's face showed shock and anger, but soon he was thrown again.

00:05:44 - Go!

00:05:45 - He ordered Rose.

00:05:47 - Go!

00:05:48 - And Gidmack don't was titled to Macbeth.

00:05:50 - He deserved to be called Lord of Coudor.

00:05:53 - Go at once!

00:05:55 - Yes, Your Majesty, reply Rose.

00:05:57 - I'll go immediately.

00:05:59 - He got on his horse and disappeared into the forest.
