l'm not scared anymore, Your Lordship,
and l'm not alone.

1:16:10
My granddad is here with me.
1:16:13
See. He's letting us know he's here.
1:16:17
Your Lordship, the child's grandfather
died some months ago.

1:16:20
She obviously has a very...
1:16:23
vivid imagination.
1:16:26
Now, child...
1:16:29
let me ask you one last time...
1:16:31
do you remember falling in the corridor
and hitting your face on the stairs?

1:16:35
No, l didn't fall on the stairs.
1:16:37
l was going to tell Sister Felicity
what really happened...

1:16:41
but then l thought
it would only get Sister Brigid into trouble.

1:16:44
So, l prayed that God
would forgive Sister Brigid for hitting me.

1:16:47
This is a preposterous assertion.
1:16:50
Why on earth
would the good Sister hit you?

1:16:52
Because l said she shouldn't belt Annette
for getting her catechism wrong.

1:16:56
Poor little innocent. Shame on you.
1:16:58
She was better off with Desmond Doyle.
l can see that now.

1:17:01
-Wait till l get you outside!
-Silence in court!

1:17:08
Evelyn Doyle...
1:17:09
do you expect this court to believe
that after she did that to you...

1:17:13
-you prayed for her?
-Yes, l did.

1:17:15
l put it to you that you are lying.
1:17:18
Lying is a sin
against the Eighth Commandment.

1:17:20
''Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor.''

1:17:24
l'm surprised you don't know that,
if you're a lawyer.

1:17:27
Sister Brigid told this court
the truth of the matter...

1:17:30
that she picked you up
when you fell down the stairs.

1:17:33
No. That's not true.
Hope she goes to confession soon.

1:17:40
-Wanna hear the prayer l said last night?
-We do not.

1:17:43
Not so, Mr. Wolfe.
1:17:45
lt is material to the court's evaluation
of the child's character.

1:17:49
Evelyn, let us hear your prayer, please.
1:17:54
''Lord God...
1:17:56
''you guide the universe
with wisdom and love.

1:17:59
''Hear the prayer we make to you
for our country...
