Original subtitles

I once heard of a fish in the Arctic Sea that

caught its own reflection in the ice above.

At first. it intended to prefer itself. ramming its face into the ice.

Then it became jealous of its shimmering scales.

Then it tried to fuck itself.

Then... it died.

It's safer. I think. not to see your fishy self in the water.

Dungeon!

Tent!

Smelly. I'm coming.

I bet you washed your arse with that fish.

She's abused. I think.

What do you reckon?

It's quite a lot of sourdough.

Tent's got gadgets!

How do little shits get so grubby?

Let's suck your fingers before you pick up those shits.

Look.

my name's Eggs.

My dear. hi.

We always appreciate your gimmicks. basket maker.

Such fine works for our humble celebrations.

Now. be sure not to shake the eggs until it's the right time that they be shook.

Love him to transact with your basket maker.

Do stop by my house and shop one of these days.

We'll come out and fit you with some fresh franks.

Tell your body one thing. Miss Taylor.

Tell your spirit only another one.

Got gun. dude!

Got tent!

You got a small one for a single man.

I nearly threw this one back till I remembered that you'd be at market this month.

How are those Blackthorn books performing?

Oh. killer.

Best books I've had.

You've got some sort of scheme going with the natural world. have you?

Well. the edge provides. I merely point.

And with this the day we affix the eternal heave.

Together we bid thee. Sir MacDufford. not to do the

baddish thing. but to do instead that wench is goodish.

For to be goodish is good.

Good.

Um. with this collar. I tend thee as mine due to a bride.

I accept this collar as a symbol of my life. won't you?

Thank thee. Lady.

Man and woman become man and his-

Friends and neighbours. as we bid a bottle water and. my dear sister. blessings for

their wedlock. we as well celebrate the contentment and satisfaction of the great

tradition of marriage. It steadies the foundation and buoys the spirit of our

modest community. not to mention as to the growth.

May their contract be a beacon for all the young bucks

and buckets to set their marital aspirations upon buckets.

And in that spirit. maidens. come forward.

Who of you will be the next to wear the matrimonial collar?

Time to shake the eggs.

Well. that's fine.

No. that's not a good omen. love.

Touch your biggest toe.

Touch your biggest toe.

It's on.

Of course.

There may be no offence. but what fun to revel in.

That's quite a prize.

Love seems more a burden than a prize.

Who said anything about love?

The egg's only permanent husband.

Well. at least I spared some dishy maid in the stained face.

Oh. looky.

There's skin under that mop.

Don't keep up.

You'll be on for a while.

That's right.

Fixing face.

That should do.

Hey. if you add some of that sweet. smelly water. you might even smell awful. right?

That's just spendy.

Don't forget the fragrance.

Men just want somewhere warm and dry to eat and sleep.

You could fix up that old fish hut. if you want.

Sure. a fish hut.

There's plenty warm and dry.

There's absolutely no shame in living like they were men in their days alone.

You know what?

Thank you all for the wisdom.

Better fuck off before the moon strikes.

Keep it.

It's a funny tradition. isn't it?

Yeah.

The man's eggs.

Their marriage.

Oh.

Hello.

I want you to make me a husband.

We have the chapel in a moment.

Good.

A husband?

Oh.

a man in a wedding dress?

Just. uh. give it to me.

He's going to the hospital.

Well. you know what I mean?

I know what I'm talking about.

I'll be more than happy to tell him.

I'll tell him. what else do you need?

...for an existence marred by tragedy. orphaned in adolescence. left to fend for

herself in a village of blind-eyed grout moles.

Scurry into your holes. moles!

Don't let the needs of a child disrupt you!

Would I have helped her had I been one of them?

Perhaps not.

No. I wasn't built for mothering. let alone caring for a bleeding.

weeping girl.

In this case. a man.

A perfect being.

The true harmony of human nature.

His character owed his own to children. of course.

Though. my...

But a simple mouse to a basket maker.

Let me have a suit.

I'm getting married in the morning. and I cannot go to church naked.

Oh. yes. um...

What's up?

Steve.

Uh. this is your cock.

That's it.

Thank you.

Let

me have some shoes.

I'm getting married in the morning. and I cannot write barefoot.

Thank you.

I drank in a room.

I'm getting married in the morning. and I need to rest.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Institute.

Institute.

Institute.

Huh.

I am here to marry you.

Sorry.

Sorry. the uh... The. uh... The collar?

This is living button.

So. that's the table. the stove. it's only one bed. I didn't really think

that through. but I can sleep on the stool.

I've done it before. it's fine.

The bed is broken.

Bring me a hammer.

I will fix it.

I know that he's ten foot tall.

Well. strong as a tree and just as hard.

It's against the gods. isn't it?

To marry a tree.

Is he going to go look at him?

No.

Does he have other bits to him?

Oh. does he talk?

Is he rude to people?

Is he kind?

He's a wicker.

Yeah.

Ah. make the day's earnings.

Privileges. it seems.

I was made to be with you.

That's right.

I

want to see.

Bring me a ladder.

It's all I'm doing. look.

Got beans. got bass. today's patch.

Got beans and bass.

Is it true. Miss Fish?

You found someone to eat your bib and your bass?

You been having dirty thoughts about me. Butcher?

Whoa-ho-ho!

Yeah!

Got bib and I've got bass!

It's an odd sort of marriage. isn't it?

Plot-sided or inverted.

With her working. him not.

So what happens then?

Without you.

I would never have seen the sun on the ocean.

Or the clouds in the sky.

Oh!

Oh!

The chimney needs cleaning.

And the fire could do with being late.

Mm-hmm.

Oh.

Oh. no.

I'll mind the fire. of course.

Mm-hmm.

Or what might him burn I?

My witty ox?

Mm-hmm.

My soft-bodied female animal?

Man and his wife!

It's important to manage a horse food.

They're simple creatures. really.

Just make sure they are left alone to do their

work and fed and given the occasion of release.

Do those three things and the ship will be yours to steer.

I hate what you can't from this one.

She knows all.

Nobody shits in this village without her.

So how many siblings have you?

Five siblings.

Well. my mother died in childbirth after my sister's death.

My family somehow still remains.

Where we may be.

Only doctor in a day's journey.

Unfortunately.

Unfortunately.

We finally get to meet...

Pardon our tardiness. Butcher.

Have you collared your bride already?

Yeah.

She's a real kid in this one.

You should have a good look before our spoiler in a few hours.

Best wishes. Butcher.

Oooh.

Fucking spectacular.

I don't know what to say.

I don't know what to actually say.

I don't know what to talk about.

Yes.

We wanted to give felicitations.

I'm your resident official woman and this is my husband.

May your memory be as bold and affirming as ours.

Thank you again for this suit.

My wife will compensate your husband with interest.

Of course.

I've had an interest once. if necessary.

The official woman and I are old friends.

I want to be with you for long. in a good marriage.

Do you like it?

To dance?

Why not?

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

You shithead bitch.

Take my hand.

Give me your hand.

Thank you.

I don't want to dance with your hammy hips anyway!

Embarrassing!

I'll put you there and want to set it right that opens last time.

Over the head. but right in the butt then.

She's shooken up. but there's nothing she can do.

I've replaced too much in part on the fish and the men in front.

Go on then. men in front.

I should ask you to dance.

Well. it's not up to the spectacle.

You wouldn't?

No.

What?

It's rubbish.

No.

It's a dead fish.

She's doing it.

She's doing it.

You are the reason I live and breathe.

I've got one in the oven.

What?

The barbell case.

The oven's full.

Oh.

What?

I thought you were saying it was with buns.

What?

Nothing.

Sounds like you've got something you want to say about it.

Well. you'd have to have fucked me for that to have happened now. wouldn't you have?

Care for cod?

Fish or what. then?

Cod. you say?

Are we feeding cod?

Also got bruh.

Cod.

What would you have rubbed it in you when you got it on top of your head?

Is that a special occasion?

You just have to see a bit of the garnish?

I thought that'd match my frock.

So. where do you think you've got stuck on your boot for sure?

Oh. thanks for noticing all my adornments today.

That'll bring equilibrium to your gait then.

Can't get anything past you. Mrs Baker.

Wait. would Your husband pay me that little addition?

Straighten me right out.

Cod.

Cod.

Cod.

You can. you know. say things back if you want.

Oh. yeah!

Did you see Fisherwoman's Cottage's old fancy door?

What?

It's new roof. garden's old tidy.

And do you remember how her door used to be crooked?

Well. that's fixed too.

Also. what should... did you finish?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah. I finished it.

Good.

So.

what's this piece?

It's a new concept of a cuff I've been musing on for gents.

I'm not sure how well it will be received. but I like it.

Well. this is a daring you.

So. it's an order from my brothel.

Oh. no. that's the Fisherwoman's commission.

Would you believe it?

It's what?

It's all your blarney about her dirty clothes must have really got to her. eh?

Well. it's a pair.

Orange.

Let's go see it.

Taylor. I thought. with all your innovative designs. I thought I could

travel to the city some weeks without the children.

See if we can expand the outfit a bit.

You?

Three days in Germany alone and come back dead on a donkey?

I'll tell you what.

No. no.

I mean. you'd be killed.

Yes. I understood you mean.

It's a woman on a voyage alone.

Well. it's not the city.

They're not the markets.

I heard that Taylor and Will Strong's wife is elderly and has no successor.

Well. we do fine at the shop. don't we?

Oh. even got a bottle of an old hack?

Taylor!

Taylor!

I'm not sure that the fisherwoman and her companion

are drawing further attention to themselves.

Any further hints?

Very good for the village. you see.

What affects is my plum.

Didn't you often say she needed trappings at work. Kate and Fishcrats?

Why would I care how she looks?

Bungie.

Would you like a new dress?

No. thank you.

I do... I do feel as though I could be put to good use.

A partnership we could bring into all the revenue.

It's just that. uh. tenoring is my thing.

You do so well here. strutting about the village.

Your beauty reminds everyone that they ought to do more with their appearances.

And that. in turn. might lead them to desire a new person and father.

And then. of course. there's the house and

the children and the washing and the feeding.

It's all a harmonious balance. and it works.

Are we honestly meant to believe that you could love such a woman?

Hm?

Oh. is she?

What do you mean. how could she love such a man?

Either.

You know what I mean?

They could love at all. as absurd.

Much of it was my parents.

They took great care of their hooks and. uh.

lures and traps and so on. so they'd last.

They taught you well.

To take care.

I'm

at some catch-ups. taking back to the farmland. I apologize.

Hold on. hold on. hold

on.

Selling dirt wool. then. how we do that?

A small step up from morale. I suppose.

Service is part of being food.

Let's take a look.

What's a governor?

And we all have a deep gratitude for that.

Gratitude?

To sell a woman?

All of a sudden she's complaining I don't say enough words to her.

Words of gratitude.

Words of passion.

Words. words. words.

I'm a man. not a minstrel.

Fuck me. what an eloquent rant.

The missus might find herself satisfied if

you could pillow talk as well as you complain.

I shared my pillow with five little heifers.

She wouldn't hear me over the endless melody of toots.

Don't take on childless days for granted. as I did.

Come to think of it. why isn't their little wife in pregnant?

It's been long enough.

Could do with some extra bottle washes.

Or one good one.

I'll be fixing the bed this afternoon.

It broke again.

What makes you want to deal with that. anyway?

The fence?

The doors?

The roof?

That's the way you're down with her now.

Is that it?

It makes her happy.

And then I am happy.

And then the bed needs to be fixed.

Why don't you do a bit of roof-mixing yourself. bottle washer?

Don't let your boner knock you off the ladder.

You know. you've made quite an impression. it's your fucker.

The wives... they're all a-flutter.

And some bastard like you could have any cunny in the

village. wouldn't even have to throw down a penny.

I bet they'd all spread their laps for you gladly.

Or my wife.

Or my wife would.

Seeing the way she looks at you.

She's gagging for a solid log.

She's always at me.

Why don't I ever want to stuff her muffin?

It's not like the great seductions come my way either. I tell you.

It's a two-way path. it is.

She can suck my pickle if she want. get me going.

Or she doesn't bloody complain about how I don't take to her clam anymore.

And then the tears start.

What. and you think I'm gonna feel lusty towards a crying bird with leaky n-

You should try.

I bet she'll let you.

Not that I don't drink. no.

You think you should try.

Just to see.

Get on.

Fuck my wife.

She wants it.

I know she does.

Just do it.

Just fuck my wife.

Perhaps you should take your leave. Mr. Wicker.

What?

Do you

love your wife?

I do.

God damn it. I do.

She's the mother of my muppets.

That's my partner in crime.

Fuck off.

And her puppies are so soft.

They are.

They are so soft.

Do you love your wife?

Fuck off.

Fuck off.

Yeah. fuck off.

Fuck off.

It's time to dance. Eason.

Ouch.

Howls of pick and slow from Blackthorn.

Yeah. jam.

We all love jam.

Is that what you've come so close to tell me?

Well. to see how you are.

To catch up.

It's been a while since you've been married.

I see so much has changed.

For the better. of course.

Yeah. well.

Happy pickin'.

Speaking of which. how's the marriage?

Pardon my arse?

Duke.

Duke.

God. I'm so frightened.

Just having a chat.

Oh. no. you're just a chat. is it?

It's such a funny thing. navigating a new marriage.

I'm sure it's your instinct to keep him close to home.

Keep him out of trouble.

Most not. just one invitation away from calamity.

Taylor's wife I have work to do.

I can't mind his matters.

He has his days. I have mine. and we have our nights.

So I only mean to say that...

you and I both know what the village we're on are like.

So easily drawn in was a bit pathetic. really.

Perhaps if he wasn't so...

present in their field of view...

life might be easier.

For you.

For you.

Do you remember... when you were a girl?

And you and the other young'uns used to come and play down by the stream?

Get in the way of my rods?

And there was one day...

all the other little girls were...

taunting and teasing this scrawny little boy.

But you graciously invited him to play wedding and to be your groom.

And you got your sister to be the collar girl.

And you even tried to get me to be the minister.

You remember?

I can hardly remember each of my childhood escapades.

I was a proper bully though. I'm sure.

And after the fouls... you told your young husband to drink the river water.

Because it would make him magically grow up to be a man.

And you'd drink it and you'd become a woman.

But he didn't want to drink it.

So he'd be striking you.

I remember forcing many boys to marry me.

He didn't want to drink.

So you held his head down under the stream.

And when it came up all blue in the face... I took him to your adultery daddy.

And he was in pain for weeks.

That was when I would tell the boy he'd fallen.

He died!

Remember that?

I mean. your daddy's doctrine didn't help. sure.

But you've got to think it might have been all

that river water in his lungs what done him in.

Or at least set him off in the first place.

Oh. now I remember.

I'm a murderer.

I could have forgotten.

But I do appreciate your marriage advice. I do.

You've always been a shining example to us all.

You've become quite bold. haven't you. Vision?

Since the marriage.

Yes. I see a distinct change in you since you've become a wife.

Listen. it seems you have the soundness of mind to

hear this. so I'm just going to come out with it.

I have some troubling revelations.

You've got a story of your own. in fact.

Yes.

I've spoken with some neighbours. trusted friends.

And we've decided it would be an affront to conceal it from you.

I don't think it's going to be any longer.

See. what's happened is this.

Your Wicca husband has. apparently for some weeks now.

had engagements with some other women in the village.

Engagements and entanglements.

Which thing?

He's fought them.

More than once.

Women you and I are both familiar with.

I won't name names. but I thought you should know.

Hmm.

You've been hit by a chicken.

I was helping a handler with something and his wheelbarrow flipped on me.

Shall I fetch your father?

No.

No.

I'm washing tonight.

With the ambition of a stroll to the coast tomorrow.

We'll gather cockles.

Yeah. it would be good to take some cockles to the market.

Smoke some cockles?

With fingertips?

See the coast?

That is if I'm invited.

You are.

We could carry twice the load.

The load is always lighter when you are by my side.

I bet you say that to all the girls.

No.

Have you spoken to any of the girls?

Have I spoken to a girl?

What?

I've spoken to some girls.

The baker's girls were slapping rocks with rolls of leather in my direction.

They told me the object of the game was to hit me with a rod.

I said that was fine.

Then I moved in such a way as to evade being hit.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Which they seemed to find quite funny.

But I continued to do it.

Sounds like a good game.

And the wives. have you...

Have you spoken to any of the wives as of late?

I purchased a loaf of sourdough on your behalf.

A pair of trousers on my own.

I fixed a ship and traded fish.

For tools.

In each account I had conversations with the men.

And. uh. mostly due to proximity.

Their wives.

Earlier at the inn I...

But it's not enough to feed her husband.

And that seems to cause him distress.

He asked if I might fuck her.

Did he fuck?

He may have been reciting a poem.

He also talked of a path going in two directions.

Which is a fascinating way to think of a path.

Of course it is true that on a path one may walk to and fro.

But it hadn't occurred to me that it may be intrinsic to the path itself.

To be both.

To be both.

The bakeman said a lot.

I suppose it's the path-taker who decides

whether they are going away or going towards.

Here's a garment to wash in.

They're going to catch mildew overnight.

So you might as well rest.

I'll do it all again in the morning.

I see.

I see.

Here we have a rose crown of lamb. soup of

goose. wine and a side of tartare with salt.

Enjoy a bit of butter.

Lovely.

But it's my birthday.

Have

you done two steps?

I was replacing the roof. sir.

Roof?

Yes.

That's what the basket man said.

That's thick.

Yes.

Yes.

Put it in all over it.

Oh my god!

It was a Queensland woman's wedding dress. but it implied to me that I was to...

Wait... wait to... to please the wife?!

You thought you could get more... folks out of my yacht?

You need to please me!

Is that my wedding dress?

I'm sorry. Mom.

I should go.

Moving.

That was left out.

This gash. I'll need twice the stitch.

Stop with your ex!

Be gone. daughter!

Be a dolly.

Hold him down.

Would you pop it?

Needles...

Why don't I start with this and you start with the other?

Or me in the middle?

Okay. let's dig in.

Pop.

pop. sedate it.

Needles. come down.

Like that.

Tremendously comfortable.

I want to see some blood.

Have you touched his butt?

Oh. yes. I have.

Girls!

Sister!

Always easier to get the blood out.

Put it back in.

What was it?

Not for me. but Taylor.

He got squirted.

Spot my face. sir.

Would you?

Thank you.

Oh. there are the things we've done.

You've gotten quite proficient with the stitch. haven't you. Taylor?

Why. it looks all mashed up by comparison.

Oh. fear not. bottle washer.

You'll walk again in a fortnight.

Oh. good.

Blood rot.

It's a terrible thing.

At first. it seems just a little cut.

A thing you could ignore.

It gets under the skin.

Fits the spirit.

Before you know it. it's too far gone.

It's a terrible thing. sister.

You should try to find your own husband.

Probably they're not so difficult to come by these days.

Look here.

Some woody words.

Trust a bastard. it doesn't mean.

Only fucks when he's arsed.

Truth for nothing.

Need to get the kindling.

Ready. steady. and...

drop.

Fishwoman.

Fishwoman.

Your new dress is straight up fetching.

Why don't we make you a winning winter jacket to match?

Now that the weather is stunning.

A jacket?

I'll never think.

It's...

I'm so sorry.

Ideally.

Lanolin really wicks the water away.

Love that.

Yes. of course.

Lanolin really has many benefits for someone such as yourself who works in rents.

See what else I can fashion out of sheep.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I used to be so busy in the evenings.

Darnin' and...

mending traps.

And now with all your help. I've got nothing to do but just enjoy the fire.

It does have a mesmerising quality to it.

Be cozier if you are beside me.

A bed would be cozier if you were beside me.

Well. it's colder there.

Do you not trust me. is it?

A good union is based in trust. isn't that right?

I am very flammable.

I don't want you to sit in the fire. I just want you to sit here and hold me.

No.

Like you held the bottle washers we don't?

I've heard things. you know. whispers in the willows?

What have you heard?

The women. they like you. don't they?

I think they are intrigued.

Intrigued?

Intrigued by your cock?

I don't know.

Are you intrigued?

I don't know.

You're intrigued enough to hold them?

With everyone watching?

The young woman was in distress.

Is that the first time she's been distressed in your company?

Because I've heard there might be a few of the village

wives that you might be helping with their distresses.

Can you demand him uddering you the hell out of me?

Boy?

Because they are on addictive Programs.

Those who are doing such bad things to people who

don't want to bother me will do so at any time.

Well here Syria's coming. Sarah.

Sarah. please. get me my baby.

I don't do everything.

I'm going to be there for you. and turn you perfectly.

So what will you do to him. we Ban выпуск?

So...

I'll be fine by the day.

Why ébrière?

ändao não hady rindo.

C 2008 não tô acoto em basETA.

And if you would just laugh. nothing more.

You're speaking the past tense.

You know. they won't be pretty. but they're...

they're evil. they're devils. all of them.

They have hurt you.

And you don't trust them.

I don't trust anyone.

You can trust me.

Send the worm to the trap.

Send the loving wicker husband...

to his troubled visual wife.

I had such a simple life.

It was nothing special.

But I knew it.

And you have my heart now.

It's very flammable.

And you have my...

idea.

What on earth are you doing out here in the cold?

I want you to make me a baby.

Please?

If the money's not enough. I can offer services.

Oh. no. no.

No. I think this will be enough.

I'll deliver to you in a month.

A baby.

An odd appointment.

Notice

and enroll a bird. seek a calf or a child.

Oh. but who am I to decide who's... worthy the child's love and who's not?

Plenty of wicket current mother has raised a good child to become a good man.

No. you're a good man.

Thank you. Mummy.

No. thank you. Mummy.

You know you don't have to tell me...

This child may very well be the main deceiver. to give direction to her life.

but not to restore the vitality of the soul. quite

like gazing into the innocent eyes of a neonate.

Or so I'm told.

The coin is fair.

Material.

No more than a regular would dance worth.

Yes.

In honor of the

man himself.

The secret of him.

Especially this.

Baby.

Are you alone now. Whispering?

I have a clandestine predicament.

Again.

I've been sick each morning. and I'm fine.

I'm far overdue for my strawberry week.

But how?

Last you told me there was... Your words.

A carnal drama with the baby.

Well.

I mean. there was.

He'd not shown interest in me for months.

And then one night. he comes home.

And he played the wicker husband.

He played him?

He was claiming to be...

made of wood.

And he looked at me right in the eye.

You know. as the wicker husband.

In his way.

And. well... The giraffe became one soon.

Jesus.

Don't be prudish.

We're all thinking it.

Thinking what?

Thinking of him.

His filthy declarations and fondness.

It's not natural.

Men are not like that.

She must be witching him.

I don't blame her.

I climb that.

What?

Oh. Taylor's wife.

Your face is dripping.

Anyhow.

Doctor's daughter.

Upper ligament.

Face.

Tried everything.

No luck.

Will you sneak me a splash or something from your father's shelves?

Still goes.

You can't shit your way out of this. Bakerbottom.

What?

I'm open to suggestions. aren't I?

Who put the worm in the woman anyway?

It's a shackle.

It's a bloody hand grenade.

After what?

Nine. ten births between us.

We're blessed to still be alive.

I wouldn't want to be quiet.

Of course.

What with your sister and aunt's mother.

Has she not come out of mourning?

Hold up in there all alone.

It can't be good for her.

Are we?

I would understand.

But they?

My sister's fine.

Oh. cousin.

I mean no offence.

I only put out the irony.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah. how some of it so desperately was was smudged.

Of course. aren't you alright?

Of course.

I thought I sat down in the middle.

Urgh.

I hate spiders.

Yeah. me too.

I'll get you the tincture.

Lucky for you I've learned over the years how to stay up for my father.

Sister?

Be careful.

Have you seen him?

I haven't seen him.

I groundwater for bathing.

Can't let me sitting in there stink any longer.

Hurrahh.

Do father give this to you?

Ah.

You just hand over the whole bottle.

You can already processo it often on your own.

Oh.

Argh.

No.

Take the blankets off you.

No.

Come on now.

It's alright.

We're going to wash you.

What's that?

Tell me.

You won't like it.

Has this bastard met his father?

I've made a mistake. haven't I?

Is he aware?

No. it's not his baby.

It's mine.

I bought it.

Fair and square.

I'm sorry. sister.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what to do.

I just really wanted it.

Why would you want that?

The love.

This is not your fault.

You are the victim here.

May I listen?

Get up.

We have visitors.

Don't look like they heard us all called.

Good evening. fifth woman.

We have a matter to discuss with your husband.

I am here.

Taylor's wife.

What matter?

My sister.

My sister is the matter.

What have you got in your arms here. girl?

My sister is drunk.

Shove them.

I'm your child.

Shove them.

I've heard the rumours. as I said.

I didn't think my own sister would fall prey to such an ungodly act.

I'm truly sorry to be the bearer of such a call.

I've come found in you.

It was my right to keep you separate from the incident.

Get out.

Now listen. fifth woman.

Is this true?

But all the evidence is before you.

Please. leave me.

Taylor's wife.

Speak.

Speak.

I have not loved this woman.

Are you lying to me?

Wife. I am not.

Now listen to me. fifth woman.

I have a proposition.

This child is an abomination.

And my sister can't be expected to live out her grieving days with this child.

Get out of the boat.

You heard my husband.

That child is not his.

Please. I have a solution.

Leave my home.

You claim this child as your own.

And you leave with it.

Out.

Get out.

I'll burn it.

No.

No.

Have you

seen the fisher woman this morning?

I haven't seen her for a spell or a lumber dick.

Good riddance.

Too embarrassed to show her face. no wonder.

After all that frowns said about.

Husband runs off with some bad people pregnant.

I don't know.

Is that so?

My dear.

My dear.

How are you?

Oh. hello. basket maker.

Happy to see your mother this morning.

And how is that babe of yours?

The baby?

It broke.

It was broken and it died.

I'm with you. weasel.

If I do dream. all my wealth will wake me.

If I do wake. some planets strike me down.

Come on.

It's nice to have you back. Pidgeot.

What do you mean?

Not having to worry about all that wicker husband nonsense anymore.

It's nice to have things back to normal.

You were right.

Hmm.

Back to normal.

Fisherwoman?

Are you here?

No.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm very well.

I will.

Anyone?

No one.

You have the babe.

It's you.

Easy. Fisherwoman.

I am not here to claim eternal rights.

But I don't.

Why?

What are you doing here?

Why do you care for the child. but shun your own husband?

Basketmaker. if you're here to shame me. rest assured I'm doing a fine job on my own.

Woman. do you think baskets are boom?

Do you honestly believe this child is the consequence of your husband's betrayal?

It's easier to believe the bad than the good. isn't it?

That wasn't really how you made him to be with me. so it was just a pathetic fantasy.

Pardon me. I did not build you some fuckable furniture.

His life was his own. despite my attempts to redirect his affections.

Well. if he said he loved you. it's because he did.

Why would he never blow?

I imagine he learned it from you.

Special woman. despite your utter senselessness.

I fear I play your part in this calamity.

You need more speed!

Well. my dear. by good fortune of the moon. your husband is not dead.

He lies withering in Hansorn.

He's on a bench whence he began.

I thought you were Ash.

Fish woman.

It persists.

The man will last forever.

It always troubles me.

You killed the babe.

You killed

the babe.

You killed the babe.

You killed the babe.

You killed the babe.

I'm so sorry.

And if you'd have me. I promise to never doubt you. to never covet you.

to never treat you as a possession at all.

You are... you are your own and I promise to love you as my own.

Why

love doesn't require a promise?

I promise you to have me.

Your promise is about to be fulfilled.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you too.

There's something I wanna say. I should mention.

I have something to say.

Thank you. neighbors.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I have known you all for some time.

And you know me.

And as you know me. you know I've lived long and traveled far.

I've met all brutes. green bellies. sprax. tramps.

But I've come to find that you lot are a crust above the rest.

You've taught me a valuable lesson about the very nature of this middling existence.

So I thank you. good people. for showing me what's what.

Out of the basket. maker.

I announce my retirement. here and now.

I have endeavored to make my master work.

A woman.

A Wicker Woman.

If you want her. all I ask is a gift for my retirement.

Whoever gives me the best gift shall have the Wicker Woman.

I'll be back in a week.

Thank you.

Funny man. isn't he?

What does he think we'd want with a woman made out of wicker?

Yeah.

What's next?

A whole Wicker Sunday Summer?

Oh. yeah.

Disgusting.

Well. I mean. the only reason would be. well. an extra hand.

Extra hand?

Yeah.

Uh. the Wicker Husband was very. um. handy. wasn't he?

Yeah.

A Wicker Woman was. uh...

We worked very hard to. um. meet our needs.

Actually. I just think it would be. you know. helpful for the business.

For the business.

For the business. yeah.

Mommy. I have a tummy ache.

I'll be in class soon.

Please. child!

Oh. my God.

Oh. my God.

Oh. my God.

Oh. my God.

Oh. my God.

Oh. my God.

What?!

The innkeeper's wife?

Just starting to get hungry.

The inn needs bread.

Bakers say they can't make bread.

Miller won't sell any grain.

No grain means no ale.

Next season. how will I feed my children?

Meanwhile. carpenter's bride stole a chicken and got tackled by a smithy.

This whole village has become thoroughly bored.

A little pause... and we are back.

A little pause... and

we are back.

Baker.

What is this stunning gadget?

It's um...

It's cocoa base with raspberry preserves and um... Honey buttercream frosting!

With honey buttercream frosting.

I'm delighted to see the Baker woman has taken part as well.

I'm delighted to see the Baker woman has taken part as well.

No shame desiring a third.

No shame desiring a third.

Thank you. Baker.

This is the most exquisite retirement cake I have ever imagined.

Good.

You've

all provided me with such substantial bounty.

It may take me a moment to...

It's more than enough.

Captain.

Where did you get that?

Captain.

We don't need the woman.

We already have a woman.

Younger one.

I'm leaving you.

I'm leaving the runnitook sat in the new.

My sister will come with me.

The wicked woman will tend to the house in my absence.

She'll tend to you.

She'll tend to the children.

It's done. man.

It's done!

I'm sure you can borrow her whenever you wish.

While she scrubs your floors.

She'll be the perfect addition to this quaint cesspit.

Do you bother counting this one?

I can't.

That's a heavy bag of coin.

It is the best gift of a tremendous.

You've already got a fresh pair.

Do you mention that scrawny bag?

Gently started.

The distinction wasn't clear.

Keeper.

What are you going to do now?

Give away all your ale and no whore to meet your fortune.

Enough of

your nonsense. you peasants.

I want to meet the twiggy twat.

Yeah. let's see then.

Let's see you pretty face.

Oh.

She's a pretty one indeed.

The wicker husband was made of willow.

But I see now that he was too weak and fragile for the likes of you.

So I made the wicker woman out of something more...

durable.

Stay with the spoils.

A

nice sturdy woman.

What creature are you?

You are white.

I was made to be with you.

It's a funny thing that we manage.

It's important to kick in

under your skin.

Help!

To open yourself up.

Call the doctor!

No doctor!

No doctor!

You are red.

He has a little to show who you really are.

Reveal your desires.

Are we going?

You'll be pleased by the Angling abroad. fish woman.

With this feet.
