[first lines]
Marcus: My God. Brother, what have you done?
-
[William has been shot through his limbs by chains, and dragged to the ground. Marcus comes back unexpectedly.]
Viktor: Marcus!
Marcus: He was not to be harmed. Place him in my charge, as we agreed, or you will pay for your deceit.
Viktor: And you will learn your place. Your sympathy for this beast is foolish. Your brother is entirely beyond control. It will be done *my* way.
Marcus: You know well the consequences if your murder me. Or William.
Viktor: If you so much as speak his name again you will have chosen that future for him.
[Marcus looks to his sides - Viktor's warriors have their crossbows poised at him.]
Marcus: What is thy will... my lord?
Viktor: Imprisonment for all time. Far from you.
