:07:03
You're not in need
of anything?
:07:06
No, thank you.
:07:09
Well... then I...
:07:13
I bid you peace.
:07:20
I'm sorry to see that
one of your brethern...
:07:22
has recently been gathered
unto God.
:07:32
Yes, a terrible loss.
:07:35
Brother Adelmo was one
of our finest illuminates.
:07:38
- Not, Adelmo of Otranto?
- You knew him?
:07:40
No, but I knew and
admired his work.
:07:43
His humor and comic
images were almost infamous.
:07:49
But he was said to be very young.
:07:50
Ah, yes! Very young indeed.
:07:55
An accident, no doubt.
:07:56
Yes, as you say, an accident.
:08:03
Well... that is I...
:08:11
Brother William...
:08:14
may I speak to you candidly?
:08:16
You seem anxious to do so.
:08:19
When I heard you were coming
to our abbey...
:08:22
I thought it was an answer
to my prayers.
:08:26
I said: "Here's a man who has the
knowledge both of the human spirit...
:08:30
and of the wiles of the evil one."
:08:33
Brother Adelmo's death
has caused much...
:08:36
spiritual unease
upon my flock.
:08:42
This is my novice, Adso.
:08:44
The youngest son of the
Baron de Melk.
:08:49
Please, do continue.
:08:53
We found the body
after a hail storm...
:08:56
horribly mutilated...
:08:58
bashed against a rock at the
foot of the tower...
