By order of the pope, the Inquisition
has come to Venice...
:34:14
...to seek out heresy and beliefs
anathema to the Church.
:34:19
Veronica Franco...
:34:21
...you have been denounced...
:34:23
...on the charge of witchcraft,
a mortal sin punishable by death.
:34:29
Should you confess and repent
during these proceedings...
:34:32
...you will be mercifully welcomed back
into the bosom of the Holy Church.
:34:40
Your Holiness...
:34:42
Silence!
:34:45
The accused shall make no utterance but
to answer our questions or to confess.
:34:50
Proceed, Monsignor.
:35:00
Venice...
:35:02
...ever a noble republic...
:35:05
...home of learning...
:35:07
...art, commerce...
:35:11
...has been brought low
by war and plague.
:35:15
Do you know why?
:35:17
I am not that wise.
:35:19
Tell us...
:35:20
...how many...
:35:22
...of the worthy men of this city
have you taken into your chamber?
:35:27
I've not counted my lovers.
:35:35
Answer the question.
:35:38
Yes.
:35:39
More than 100?
:35:40
I don't know.
:35:41
You don't?
:35:42
Yet for each you paraded your
milky breast and hair of spun copper.
:35:46
For each you learned his
unique favored touch...
:35:49
...and enchanted him to believe
he was the only man in the universe.
:35:52
How many per week?
:35:54
I told you. I enchanted no one.
:35:56
Did you feign love with more than 10
weekly? Or would 5 or 6 have sated you?
