Even with his back turned to the cross King Johnny holds up, Barn does a good job of bargaining for Magda's life. He seems to know just how much to tell and how much to keep back. Seeing Barn send Istvan over the cliff probably also helped change Johnny's mind.
He makes you think that Johnny would be just as proud if he were wearing a big plastic bag instead of a cape.
And Paul Michael gets to do yet another incantation as he raises the scimitar over Petofi's wrist, just as in Charity's vision.
Like that re Barnabas... I wondered about him saending Istvan over the cliff instead of Johnny, but Johnny had to take care of Petofi, maybe Barnabas knew that.
LOL about Johnny and a plastic bag cape...
Charity's vision: I wonder if we were meant to remember that the figure with the scythe or scimitar took care of Aristede first, in the vision, and were meant not to expect any help for Petofi from him.
