:26:05
And now, good citizens
of Wittenberg,

:26:09
Prince Frederick of Saxony
invites you here to his courtyard

:26:14
to witness a mystery play
:26:17
on that ever most popular
of subjects...

:26:22
the Day of Judgment.
:26:38
Just like old times, Martin.
:26:43
Excellency.
:26:46
Secretary.
:26:47
Prince's secretary.
:26:49
Such secretaries have a habit
of becoming Excellencies.

:26:53
Even when we were law students,
I had you marked for great things.

:26:56
I was hoping you may be
of some help in that regard.

:26:59
Prince Frederick is
exceedingly proud of his relics.

:27:04
Then I'm sorry
he didn't hear my lecture.

:27:06
Perhaps I could have swayed him.
:27:10
He spent 20 years
and a large fortune

:27:12
building his collection,
:27:13
that in a week's time,
on All Saints' Day,

:27:16
thousands of faithful Christians
are coming to see.

:27:18
Paying to see.
:27:20
Contributions are
customary for indulgences,

:27:23
along with confession
:27:25
and true penitence.
:27:30
Ah, yes.
:27:32
The right prayers,
the right coins,

:27:33
and 1,900,202 years
and 27 days less in Purgatory.

:27:40
Do not bite the hand
that feeds you, Martin.

:27:43
Our prince pays
for your chair in this university.

:27:49
His relics pay for your chair.
:27:54
And he who pays the piper...
:27:58
calls the tune.
:27:59
Do not embarrass him.
