Igor Karkaroff, 02:36

Until such time, you remain, 02:49
in the eyes of the Ministry, 02:51

Do you accept these terms? 02:54
I do, sir. 02:56
And what do you wish to present? 02:57
I have names, sir. 02:59
There was a Rosier, 03:02
Evan Rosier. 03:05
Mr Rosier is dead. 03:09
[Karkaroff] Dead? 03:10
Yeah, he took a piece of me 03:10
with him though, didn't he? 03:11
I didn't know. 03:12
If that is all the witness has to offer— 03:14
No, no, no, no! 03:15
There was Rookwood. 03:17
He was a spy. 03:18
Augustus Rookwood? 03:20
Of the Department of Mysteries? 03:21
Yeah, yeah, the same. 03:22
He passed information to You-Know-Who 03:24
from inside the Ministry itself. 03:25
Very well. 03:29
Council will deliberate. 03:30
In the meantime, you will be returned to Azkaban. 03:32
No! 03:34
Wait! Wait! Please! Please! 03:35
I have more! 03:36
What about Snape? Severus Snape? 03:37
As the council is very much aware, 03:39
I've given evidence on this matter. 03:41
Severus Snape was indeed a Death Eater. 03:42
And prior to Lord Voldemort's downfall, 03:44
turned spy for us 03:46
at great personal risk. 03:48
It's a lie! 03:49
Today, he's no more a Death Eater than I am. 03:50
Severus Snape remains faithful to the Dark Lord. 03:51
Silence! 03:53
Unless the witness possesses any genuine name 03:56
of consequence, 03:59
this session is now concluded. 04:00
Oh, no, no, no, no, no. 04:02
I've heard about one more. 04:05
What's that? 04:07
The name. 04:08
Yes. 04:09
I know for a fact this person 04:10
took part in the capture, 04:12
and by means of the Cruciatus Curse, 04:13
torture of the Auror, Frank Longbottom 04:16
and his wife! 04:19
The name! 04:19
Give me the wretched name! 04:20
Barty Crouch... 04:22
Junior. 04:27
Get your filthy hands off me, 04:43
you pathetic little men! 04:45
Hello, father. 04:48
You are no son of mine. 04:51
Curiosity's not a sin, Harry. 05:05
But you should exercise caution. 05:06
It's a Pensieve. 05:10
Very useful if, like me, 05:12
you find your mind a wee bit stretched. 05:14
It allows me to see once more 05:17
things I've already seen. 05:18
You see, Harry, 05:21
I've searched and searched for something, 05:21
some small detail. 05:24
Something I might have overlooked. 05:27
Something that would explain 05:29
why these terrible things have happened. 05:31
Every time I get close to an answer, 05:34
it slips away. 05:37
It's maddening. 05:39
Sir, Mr Crouch's son. 05:42
What exactly happened to him? 05:46
He was sent to Azkaban. 05:48
Destroyed Barty to do it. 05:51
But he had no choice. 05:53
The evidence was overwhelming. 05:55
Why do you ask? 05:58
It's just that I— 06:00
I had a dream about him. 06:02
It was in the summer, before school. 06:07
In the dream, 06:12
I was in a house 06:13
and Voldemort was there. 06:15
Only, he wasn't quite human. 06:17
And Wormtail was there too. 06:19
And Mr Crouch's son. 06:21
Had there been others like this dream? 06:24
Yes. 06:25
Always the same one. 06:27
Sir, these dreams. 06:32
What I see. 06:34
You don't think it's actually happening, do you? 06:36
I think it's unwise for you 06:41
to linger over these dreams, Harry. 06:42
I think it's best if you simply... 06:45
cast them away. 06:52

Lyrics & Translation

[English]
You must take action.
[Fudge] I will not.
In times like these,
the wizard world looks to its leaders for strength, Dumbledore.
Then, for once, show them some!
The Triwizard Tournament will not be cancelled.
I will not be seen as a coward!
A true leader does what is right.
No matter what others think.
What did you say?
What did you say to me?
[Moody] Excuse me, gentlemen.
It may interest you to know,

Oh, Harry!

Oh, not necessary, Harry.
The Minister and I are done.
I'll be back in a moment, Minister, after you.
Oh, Harry, do feel free to indulge
in a little Liquorice Snap in my absence.
But I have to warn you,
