In this brief scene, von thorn and the Bishop of Homburg discuss the discovery of the Holy Grail in the mountains. The two men realize that they must find and destroy the "abomination" before it is discovered and used against them. The Bishop asks the Lord of the Mountains if he is backing down. The Lord replies that he is not backing down, but that he has abandoned his bravest soldiers and is now his most devoted servant. He tells the Lord that he was able to escape hell thanks to his faith in Christ. The only wish of the Bishop is to live a long time to thank God for saving him from hell.
