What this transcript is
Every word below is the caption track YouTube publishes for this video, pulled from the video itself and reproduced unchanged.

English captions, generated automatically by YouTube, in the video’s original language. Source: the video on YouTube. A channel that would rather this page did not exist can ask for its removal through the contact page, and it is removed.
No Script X-ray for this video: YouTube shows a Most replayed graph only once a video has enough views.
You know I don't find [music] that amusing. Mountain pass is beautiful as ever. Old witch is fast asleep. Ciri's disappeared somewhere, of course. Guess she prefers practice to theory. >> Mhm? What? >> Time to wake up, master. These lessons so boring they put you to sleep, too? >> Damn it. After taking notes on ghouls and algouls, wanted to rest my eyes a bit. >> Huh. Making her slog through that brick. No wonder she took off. >> Johne a Bruze lacks flair, true, but he's reliable.
Not like the hogwash they print nowadays. She's tackling the pendulums, right? How many times do I have to tell her? Don't train alone. It only embeds your errors. Bring our young damsel to the lower courtyard. She wants to practice, she'll get to practice. >> Got to admit we've spoiled her. >> We've spoiled her. I've been saying it from the start. Ciri needs a firm hand. >> Been saying that, true. But you let her walk all over you just like the rest of us do. >> Fine.
I suppose I'm partly to blame. But this has to end. Now. Killing monsters is not something to be taken lightly. Ciri must understand that if she's to become one of us. I'll see you below. >> [groaning] >> Wrong. Now I see why you were so eager to practice. Strike. >> You all right? >> [sighs] >> Had a nightmare. >> About? >> Take forever to explain. >> Dawn is some way off. We've got time. >> Started in the guest room at Kaer Morhen.
I was relaxing in the tub and [music] next to me >> Triss? >> Yennefer. Funny, isn't it? She's [music] never been there. Seemed so real in my dream, though. >> Was she nagging you about something? >> Mhm. >> [clears throat] >> Mhm. >> True to life, indeed. We'll find her. >> In the dream, I went and found Ciri. Then we trained. >> Those were the days. >> Mhm. >> Little she-devil. I've trained kids who were faster, stronger, but none had her character.
Didn't end well, did it? Your dream. >> No. The Wild Hunt appeared, attacked Ciri. I couldn't move, stood there like a stump. >> It was just >> [music] >> a dream. Trail's fresh. But it looks like it leads [music] towards the main road. Could be muddled there. Wait. Hear that? >> I smell it. Ghouls. >> I'm too old for this. >> Come on. Show me what you got. >> [screaming] [screaming] [groaning] [groaning and screaming] [screaming] >> I'm too old. >> [groaning] >> You [ __ ] bastard. >> Show me what you got. >> [screaming] >> Of course, when armies pass macrophages follow. >> Let's go before any more show up. >> Ever tell you about this sorcerer I knew?
Couldn't stop talking about how useful they are as creatures. >> Because you can brew potions from their blood? >> No, because by eating rotting corpses they prevent epidemics. >> Did he know they eat the living as well? >> No, really upset him, too. His theory collapsed. Go. Go. >> War is not exactly going our way. >> We have a side. >> The northern realms. >> Radovid's realms, don't you mean? Temeria and Aedirn are no more. >> Radovid's pledged to restore the old borders, soon as he wins the war. >> You believe that? >> Got to believe something.
It's what keeps us going. We going? >> HELP ME! HELP! [screaming] >> [groaning and screaming] [screaming] >> HOW'S IT GOING? >> YEAH. Come out. >> Gods, that was close. I was sure I'd end up like my mare. >> Provided you got lucky. Your horse died quickly, but griffins like to toy [music] with their prey, eat it alive, piece by piece. >> Oh. You'd you'd like a reward, I suppose. >> You don't owe us anything. You were in need, [music] we helped. >> And they call witches heartless.
Say they won't lift a finger without pay. >> They also say mice are born of rotting straw. Back to the trail. >> Like I said, leads to the main road and ends there. >> Muddled. >> You seek someone? >> Yes, a woman, medium height, long black hair. Seen anyone like that? >> No. But there's an inn here in White Orchard, so one around gets its share of travelers. Perhaps you'll learn something there. Besides, the inn keeps my cousin.
Tell her Bram sent you. She'll treat you like family. >> Not a bad idea, especially since that wound needs cleaning. >> Ah, beast barely grazed me. But sure, could use a good rye, nice and cool, you know, straight from a cellar. >> Let's go.
