:42:02
Don't instruct me on the Church's laws!
:42:04
Then I call upon the doge to demand
that the Inquisition abide by them.
:42:10
If Christian mercy is gone, then
at least Venetian justice still exists.
:42:14
I pray Your Grace has heard
enough of this.
:42:20
It does seem odd that the Holy Mother
Church would deny a sinner confession.
:42:25
I see no harm in hearing her.
:42:29
She will save or damn herself.
:42:31
The prisoner has already damned herself.
:42:34
But if it pleases the
esteemed doge of Venice...
:42:38
...she may continue her heresy.
:42:46
I confess I find more ecstasy
in passion than in prayer.
:42:57
I confess...
:42:59
I confess I pray still...
:43:03
...to feel the touch
of my lover's lips...
:43:06
...his hands upon me...
:43:10
...his arms enfolding me.
:43:12
Veronica, stop!
:43:14
Save yourself, please.
:43:18
Such surrender has been mine.
:43:23
I confess I hunger still
to be filled and inflamed.
:43:28
To melt into the dream of us...
:43:31
...beyond this troubled place...
:43:36
...to where we are not even ourselves.
:43:39
To know that always...
:43:41
...always this is mine.
:43:44
Your Grace...
:43:46
...is this necessary?
:43:48
She hopes to bewitch us all.
:43:50
If this had not been mine,
if I had lived another way...
:43:55
...a child to a husband's whim...
:43:57
...my soul hardened from lack of touch
and lack of love...
