We're going to Pescia

It's my mother's.

Whoa!
She has bigger balls than you!

20
00:03:41,210 --> 00:03:43,089
The Blessed Virgin will punish you.

How do you know, child?

22
00:03:45,009 --> 00:03:46,809
She does all I ask of her.

23
00:03:47,049 --> 00:03:48,209
She can go to hell,

The Virgin's voice.

28
00:03:54,609 --> 00:03:55,729

Good day, Signor Carlini.

42
00:05:05,769 --> 00:05:07,370
If you'd care to follow me.

43
00:05:15,409 --> 00:05:16,449
Wait here.

44
00:05:21,849 --> 00:05:25,569
The Theatines are grateful
for your bringing Jesus a new bride.

45
00:05:26,169 --> 00:05:28,168
Benedetta will be happy here.

46
00:05:28,329 --> 00:05:31,089
[Carlini] I also bring oranges, apples
and wine in significant quantities.

47
00:05:32,128 --> 00:05:34,888
For the next 25 years,
you will receive the same.

48
00:05:35,049 --> 00:05:36,050
Every year.

49
00:05:37,250 --> 00:05:40,130
That is very generous of you,
Signor Carlini.

50
00:05:40,569 --> 00:05:42,329
And for the dowry?

51
00:05:46,049 --> 00:05:49,049
When my Benedetta was born,
she almost died.

52
00:05:49,209 --> 00:05:50,969
By miracle, God saved her.

53
00:05:51,129 --> 00:05:52,610
I pledged her to him.

54
00:05:53,089 --> 00:05:54,689
A very moving story.

55
00:05:54,889 --> 00:05:56,609
I have heard many like it.

56
00:05:56,809 --> 00:05:58,329
Each time, I am touched.

57
00:05:58,888 --> 00:06:00,170
But every year,

58
00:06:00,329 --> 00:06:03,649
we receive hundreds of girls,
who want to serve God.

59
00:06:04,449 --> 00:06:06,009
This year's candidates.

60
00:06:06,489 --> 00:06:08,129
And I can only take three.

61
00:06:10,089 --> 00:06:11,929
Aware of the challenges you face,

62
00:06:12,089 --> 00:06:14,769
I'd be delighted to donate 50 gold scudi.

63
00:06:14,929 --> 00:06:17,529
The fruit and wine
might also count for something.

64
00:06:17,609 --> 00:06:18,689
Am I right?

65
00:06:18,849 --> 00:06:20,089
Beyond these walls,

66
00:06:20,249 --> 00:06:23,489
a bride's dowry
never descends below 150 scudi.

67
00:06:24,249 --> 00:06:27,769
Is a bride of Christ
worth less than a hundred?

68
00:06:29,770 --> 00:06:31,730
Let's split the difference. 75!

69
00:06:32,609 --> 00:06:34,769
You'd haggle like a Jew
over 25 scudi?

70
00:06:34,929 --> 00:06:37,649
After all, Giuliano,
she's your beloved daughter.

71
00:06:39,329 --> 00:06:40,289
Agreed.

72
00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:42,250
100 scudi.

73
00:06:42,329 --> 00:06:44,529
We are not horse-trading.

74
00:06:44,689 --> 00:06:46,049
Your word is enough.

75
00:06:46,449 --> 00:06:48,290
And your promissory note.

76
00:07:00,049 --> 00:07:01,009
Too big.

77
00:07:04,089 --> 00:07:06,088
-They're so beautiful.
-Undress!

78
00:07:08,489 --> 00:07:09,809
Who gave you that?

79
00:07:09,969 --> 00:07:11,090
My mother.

80
00:07:11,169 --> 00:07:12,729
For me to pray to the Blessed Virgin.

81
00:07:14,090 --> 00:07:16,528
Child, the convent has its own Virgin.

82
00:07:16,689 --> 00:07:18,650
From now on, you'll pray to her.

83
00:07:18,809 --> 00:07:20,769
-But she's mine!
-Come on, hurry.

84
00:07:21,369 --> 00:07:22,408
Undress now.

85
00:07:29,409 --> 00:07:31,169
It's so itchy, it's horrible.

86
00:07:31,569 --> 00:07:32,729
As it should be.

87
00:07:33,449 --> 00:07:35,129
Your worst enemy is your body.

88
00:07:35,449 --> 00:07:37,689
Best not to feel at home in it.

89
00:07:43,489 --> 00:07:45,409
When I was barely older than you,

90
00:07:45,770 --> 00:07:48,929
I lost two inches of flesh
to a drunkard's knife.

91
00:07:49,330 --> 00:07:52,689
This wooden finger is dearer to me
than the other nine.

92
00:07:53,529 --> 00:07:56,689
If I could,
I'd replace every part of my body,

93
00:07:57,290 --> 00:07:59,129
until I was a block of wood,

94
00:07:59,289 --> 00:08:01,689
carved with the name of God.

95
00:08:03,687 --> 00:08:05,289
Like a gravestone?

96
00:08:08,848 --> 00:08:10,369
You're an intelligent girl.

97
00:08:11,169 --> 00:08:13,490
But intelligence can be dangerous, child.

98
00:08:14,369 --> 00:08:15,729
And not only for others.

I pray thee, help me.

109
00:09:36,609 --> 00:09:37,809
I feel so alone.

110
00:09:38,889 --> 00:09:40,769

-Did you touch it?
-No!

Something snapped and it fell.

00:10:12,689 --> 00:10:13,649
Why were you here?

120
00:10:14,569 --> 00:10:16,329
I wanted to pray to the Virgin.

121
00:10:17,889 --> 00:10:19,768
Can your legs hold you?

122
00:10:21,449 --> 00:10:22,369
Yes.

123
00:10:24,249 --> 00:10:26,249
It's a miracle she wasn't crushed.

124
00:10:29,289 --> 00:10:32,169
Well, go back to bed
and take Benedetta to hers.

125
00:10:33,129 --> 00:10:34,049
Come.

A thought for our dear bishop of Milan,
taken from us last week.

I heard it was the plague.

162

Indeed.

163
00:13:43,689 --> 00:13:45,449
The bishop was a good man.

164
00:13:47,889 --> 00:13:51,009
But I always thought his cathedral
turned his head.

If it pleases God,

166
00:13:54,209 --> 00:13:57,049
the bishop's seat
will better fit your Grace.

167
00:13:57,209 --> 00:13:58,809
No. No, no.

168
00:13:59,169 --> 00:14:00,289
And it is sad.

169
00:14:00,770 --> 00:14:04,729
Despite courting the Vatican
with the impudence of a harlot,

170
00:14:05,089 --> 00:14:07,929
I am quite simply not conspicuous enough.

171
00:14:08,929 --> 00:14:12,808
I would be a prodigy if the Pope
could locate Pescia on a map.

172

187
00:14:59,649 --> 00:15:02,569
Take me! No, he's coming!
Please, help!

188
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:05,009
[man] Harlot!
You can't escape!

189
00:15:05,049 --> 00:15:07,049
You're mine, little whore!

190
00:15:07,049 --> 00:15:09,129
Let me stay! Please!

191
00:15:09,129 --> 00:15:11,129
-[screaming]
-Come on!

192
00:15:13,209 --> 00:15:14,969
You're looking for a fight?

193
00:15:15,009 --> 00:15:16,370
This is a convent.

194
00:15:18,729 --> 00:15:20,689
I love Jesus.
Take me.

195
00:15:20,769 --> 00:15:22,289
I'm her father.
She belongs to me.

196
00:15:22,370 --> 00:15:23,930
Let me stay here.

197
00:15:25,409 --> 00:15:27,688
A convent
is not a place of charity, child.

198
00:15:27,849 --> 00:15:29,409
You must pay to come here.

199
00:15:29,569 --> 00:15:30,890
Do you have money?

200
00:15:31,369 --> 00:15:32,329
No.

201
00:15:32,409 --> 00:15:34,089
Enough now. That's enough!

202
00:15:35,450 --> 00:15:36,410
Let me go.

203
00:15:36,569 --> 00:15:37,769
I want to serve God.

204
00:15:38,929 --> 00:15:40,969
-Mother, help her!
-We'll pay.

205
00:15:41,889 --> 00:15:43,250
Pay a stranger's dowry?

206
00:15:43,649 --> 00:15:45,769
I'll pray my whole life for you, sire.

207
00:15:46,250 --> 00:15:47,330
Magnificent!

208
00:15:48,249 --> 00:15:49,329
Signor Carlini,

209
00:15:49,889 --> 00:15:52,169
the rich do not enter
the kingdom of God.

210
00:15:53,090 --> 00:15:54,089
Jesus said so.

211
00:15:55,009 --> 00:15:57,409
Reverend Mother,
you have devoted yourself

212
00:15:57,569 --> 00:15:58,769
to ensuring my entry.

213
00:16:01,049 --> 00:16:02,009
Very well.

214
00:16:02,929 --> 00:16:04,609
A gift for you, Benedetta.

215
00:16:06,609 --> 00:16:09,409
What gift?
You won't get my daughter for nothing.

216
00:16:09,569 --> 00:16:10,489
Not on your life!

217
00:16:10,649 --> 00:16:12,129
Ten dinari, no more.

218
00:16:12,289 --> 00:16:15,329
Twenty. And the price of a good dog
to replace the slut.

219
00:16:18,448 --> 00:16:20,409
[sheep bleating]

220
00:16:22,368 --> 00:16:24,288

222
00:16:40,929 --> 00:16:42,169
[Benedetta]
There.

223
00:16:42,610 --> 00:16:44,049
[woman]
That's delicious.

224
00:16:45,650 --> 00:16:46,610
Here, catch.

225
00:16:50,689 --> 00:16:51,769
Soap yourself well.

226
00:16:52,449 --> 00:16:53,968
[woman]
What's your name?

227
00:16:54,529 --> 00:16:55,809
Sister Benedetta. And you?

228
00:16:55,888 --> 00:16:57,129
[woman]
Bartolomea.

229
00:16:58,130 --> 00:16:59,210
Bartolomea what?

230
00:16:59,649 --> 00:17:01,010
Bartolomea nothing.

231
00:17:01,409 --> 00:17:03,009
Washing well is a rule?

232
00:17:03,169 --> 00:17:04,970
A clean soul demands a clean body.

233
00:17:05,129 --> 00:17:06,770
[Bartolomea]
I scrub as hard as I can.

234
00:17:07,209 --> 00:17:09,129
Shit, my soap. Where is it?

235
00:17:09,129 --> 00:17:11,009
[yelping, gasping]

236
00:17:11,009 --> 00:17:12,650
[laughing]
I nearly fell.

237
00:17:13,649 --> 00:17:15,849
[Bartolomea]
Is any water left so I can rinse?

238
00:17:17,569 --> 00:17:18,569
Sister Benedetta?

239
00:17:20,169 --> 00:17:21,890
Your nightgown is on the table.

240
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:25,769

241
00:17:35,209 --> 00:17:37,089
-[metal rattling]
-[Bartolomea] Sister Benedetta?

242
00:17:37,529 --> 00:17:39,249
To take a shit, where do I go?

243
00:17:39,249 --> 00:17:41,008
[chuckles]

244
00:17:44,449 --> 00:17:45,449
Follow me.

245
00:17:49,850 --> 00:17:51,129
Real commodes?

246
00:17:51,729 --> 00:17:55,049
-Where did you do it?
-Outside. With the animals.

247
00:18:05,769 --> 00:18:09,050
[farting]
That's so good! What a relief!

248
00:18:09,129 --> 00:18:11,529
[whispering]
We must not talk so loudly at night.

[farting]

250
00:18:13,528 --> 00:18:15,289
That's allowed, I hope.

251
00:18:16,850 --> 00:18:17,929
Wait.

[gasping]

253
00:18:30,970 --> 00:18:32,609
Forgive me, who did that?

254
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,089
My father.

255
00:18:34,529 --> 00:18:35,449
Why?

256
00:18:37,569 --> 00:18:39,329
The plague took mama last year,

257
00:18:39,489 --> 00:18:41,729
so my father made me his wife.

258
00:18:44,609 --> 00:18:45,849
I always told him no.

259
00:18:46,009 --> 00:18:48,290
He always told me
he didn't give a damn.

260
00:18:49,449 --> 00:18:51,889
-His wife for everything?
-Yes, everything.

261
00:18:52,529 --> 00:18:55,289
My brothers did the same behind his back.

262
00:18:55,289 --> 00:18:57,209
[birds squawking]

263
00:18:57,729 --> 00:19:00,609
This morning,
I tried to stick him with scissors.

264
00:19:01,649 --> 00:19:03,089
For that, he massacred me.

265
00:19:03,249 --> 00:19:04,969
That's why I ran away.

266
00:19:05,089 --> 00:19:06,249
[giggling]

267
00:19:08,649 --> 00:19:10,529
Beauty is not always an advantage.

268
00:19:10,610 --> 00:19:12,569
If I were a goat, he'd do the same.

269
00:19:13,809 --> 00:19:14,769
I'm beautiful?

270
00:19:17,210 --> 00:19:18,769
You mean you don't know?

271
00:19:20,930 --> 00:19:22,730
No, we never had a mirror.

272
00:19:24,448 --> 00:19:25,449
You are beautiful.

273
00:19:26,570 --> 00:19:28,249
View your reflection in my eyes.

274
00:19:33,769 --> 00:19:34,889
I see nothing.

275
00:19:34,969 --> 00:19:36,170
You have to be closer.

276
00:19:40,609 --> 00:19:41,769
You see yourself?

277
00:19:45,129 --> 00:19:46,609
What are you two doing?

278
00:19:49,369 --> 00:19:51,409
She didn't know where the privy was.

279
00:19:58,168 --> 00:19:59,210
Who's she?

280
00:19:59,769 --> 00:20:01,809
Christina,
our Reverend Mother's daughter.

281
00:20:01,809 --> 00:20:04,529

And she spies for her mother?

Holy Mother, I believe
Sister Bartolomea seeks my guidance

285
00:20:31,769 --> 00:20:33,568
but I am not worthy to teach her.

[woman's voice]
<i>God himself put this girl in your path.</i>

287

<i>Is she not in need of love and advice?</i>

288
00:20:41,369 --> 00:20:44,889
[Benedetta] Yes, but she must be
directed with a strong hand.

289
00:20:45,049 --> 00:20:46,250
Which I lack.

290
00:20:46,969 --> 00:20:49,009

<i>God will show the way.</i>

-What did these beasts want?
-[Jesus] To kill you.

They were demons,

But they are stupid.

309
00:22:14,368 --> 00:22:16,729
Neither life nor death
can separate us.

Stay with me.

00:22:29,930 --> 00:22:31,169
Yes, sweet Jesus.

Father...

317
00:23:24,889 --> 00:23:26,009
I have seen Jesus.

318
00:23:27,569 --> 00:23:28,610
In a dream?

319
00:23:28,769 --> 00:23:29,689
No.

00:23:31,130 --> 00:23:32,289
In the flesh.

321
00:23:32,848 --> 00:23:34,370
As I see you before me now.

322
00:23:36,849 --> 00:23:38,728
Seeing him, what did you feel?

323
00:23:40,209 --> 00:23:42,689
-Fear.
-Then it was a false vision.

324
00:23:43,449 --> 00:23:45,929
A true manifestation of Christ
fills us with joy.

325
00:23:48,530 --> 00:23:50,409
How can I know what is true or false?

326
00:23:53,049 --> 00:23:54,369
Through suffering.

327
00:23:54,569 --> 00:23:57,209
Suffering is the only way to know Christ.

328
00:23:59,529 --> 00:24:02,049
I know God wants us to suffer but...

329
00:24:04,289 --> 00:24:05,810
-It frightens me.
-Naturally.

330
00:24:07,049 --> 00:24:08,690
The ways of the Lord
are often terrifying.

Have they never seen a surgeon at work?

00:24:19,449 --> 00:24:21,689
So we must welcome affliction?

My aim was not to punish
but to hurt her.

371
00:26:18,970 --> 00:26:21,609
You wanted to inflict pain
on your sister?

372
00:26:21,609 --> 00:26:24,050
-Deliberately?
-Yes, deliberately.

373
00:26:24,089 --> 00:26:26,369
[Reverend Mother]
There was no malice in it?

374
00:26:28,209 --> 00:26:30,849
If you say it was malice,
I'll know it to be true.

375
00:26:30,929 --> 00:26:32,649
You don't know your own feelings?

376
00:26:34,729 --> 00:26:35,889
It seems not.

377
00:26:46,529 --> 00:26:49,369
Did Bartolomea do something
to anger you?

378
00:26:50,049 --> 00:26:51,009
No.

379
00:26:51,089 --> 00:26:53,169
Do you detest her for some reason?

380
00:26:53,249 --> 00:26:54,169
No!

381
00:26:58,209 --> 00:27:00,649
Do you feel affection for her?

382
00:27:04,010 --> 00:27:05,129
I feel...

383
00:27:05,449 --> 00:27:07,250
compassion, yes.

384
00:27:07,529 --> 00:27:08,930
For all her sufferings.

385
00:27:09,009 --> 00:27:11,169
Including those you inflict?

386
00:27:11,209 --> 00:27:13,809
Father Ricordati says
sufferings guide us to God

387
00:27:13,809 --> 00:27:15,009
and make us stronger.

388
00:27:16,730 --> 00:27:18,089
Our own sufferings.

389
00:27:19,249 --> 00:27:20,609
Not the sufferings of others.

390
00:27:24,889 --> 00:27:26,210
You were overzealous.

391
00:27:26,369 --> 00:27:28,089
You'll go without bread for a week,

392
00:27:28,250 --> 00:27:31,449
and for two weeks,
you'll change Sister Jacopa's bedding.

393
00:27:31,609 --> 00:27:33,009
You may go.

394
00:27:33,170 --> 00:27:34,409

Stay back!
I take pride in my suffering.

398
00:28:02,449 --> 00:28:03,969
Pride is a mortal sin.

399
00:28:05,929 --> 00:28:07,849
We're all entitled to a sin.

400
00:28:09,410 --> 00:28:10,329
What's yours?

401
00:28:12,049 --> 00:28:13,329
I have never sinned.

402
00:28:15,569 --> 00:28:17,289
But I could at any moment.

403
00:28:17,369 --> 00:28:18,369
Of course.

404
00:28:19,810 --> 00:28:20,930
Help me.

405
00:28:23,449 --> 00:28:24,610
My sin is,

406
00:28:25,169 --> 00:28:26,729
I was born a Jew.

407
00:28:28,249 --> 00:28:29,849
Sister Petra was a whore.

408
00:28:29,929 --> 00:28:32,689
Selling herself in privies in Florence.
Nobody cares.

409
00:28:33,969 --> 00:28:36,329
But my father's prick was circumcised.

410
00:28:37,209 --> 00:28:40,409
And that fault is unforgivable.

411
00:28:52,529 --> 00:28:54,650
You've discovered my secret lover.

412
00:28:56,849 --> 00:28:58,130
You call that love?

413
00:29:00,849 --> 00:29:02,809
God will speak to you
in many tongues.

414
00:29:05,890 --> 00:29:08,449
If your heart is brave enough
to let him in.

I gave her poppy juice to drink.
She's sleeping.

What was it?

438
00:31:03,009 --> 00:31:04,689
I found nothing abnormal.

00:31:05,249 --> 00:31:06,890
But she is clearly in pain.

440
00:31:07,049 --> 00:31:08,969
She howled for hours on end.

441
00:31:09,809 --> 00:31:11,849
There's black bile in her urine.

I hope there is something providential
in the choice.

560
00:41:46,009 --> 00:41:47,570
Jesus did this to me.

561
00:41:49,809 --> 00:41:51,449
Last night...

562
00:41:52,569 --> 00:41:53,489
He did this to me.

563
00:41:57,929 --> 00:41:58,850
Here, too.

564
00:42:00,449 --> 00:42:01,489
The stigmata!

565
00:42:21,289 --> 00:42:23,689
Were you praying when it happened?

566
00:42:24,649 --> 00:42:25,809
I was in bed.

567
00:42:25,889 --> 00:42:26,849
Asleep.

568
00:42:27,610 --> 00:42:29,009
That's when it happened.

569
00:42:29,570 --> 00:42:32,609
St. Francis was in prayer
when he received the stigmata.

570
00:42:33,809 --> 00:42:35,450
Catherine of Siena, also.

571
00:42:36,530 --> 00:42:37,849
Neither was sleeping.

572
00:42:38,649 --> 00:42:39,649
I was sleeping.

573
00:42:41,169 --> 00:42:42,249
And Jesus marked me.

574
00:42:42,409 --> 00:42:43,930
It was Jesus. I saw him.

575
00:42:45,170 --> 00:42:46,329
You saw him?

576
00:42:47,608 --> 00:42:48,609
I heard him speaking.

577
00:42:50,488 --> 00:42:51,529
What did he say?

578
00:42:53,849 --> 00:42:54,969
I don't remember.

579
00:42:57,049 --> 00:43:00,530
I'd expect the word of God
to make a greater impression.

580
00:43:01,529 --> 00:43:03,849
Bring Sister Benedetta to my chamber.

581
00:43:04,769 --> 00:43:06,890
[clamoring]

582
00:43:25,370 --> 00:43:26,450
Open it, will you?

583
00:43:33,409 --> 00:43:36,249
However often I wipe her wounds,
they bleed again.

584
00:43:36,409 --> 00:43:37,889
They are very deep.

585
00:43:39,209 --> 00:43:40,169
Look.

586
00:43:49,090 --> 00:43:50,409
Her feet are the same.

587
00:43:50,848 --> 00:43:52,768
-[Cecchi] And her side?
-[doctor] Worse.

588
00:43:54,249 --> 00:43:55,648
How is this possible?

589
00:43:55,810 --> 00:43:58,329
I don't know.
I've never seen the like.

590
00:43:58,489 --> 00:43:59,810
What can we do?

591
00:44:00,169 --> 00:44:01,329
Keep them clean.

592
00:44:01,570 --> 00:44:03,049
New dressings every two hours.

593
00:44:04,769 --> 00:44:06,129
Remove her wimple.

594
00:44:15,329 --> 00:44:16,289
No blood.

595
00:44:18,009 --> 00:44:19,049
It hurts.

596
00:44:21,050 --> 00:44:24,049
When he was made to wear
the crown of thorns,

597
00:44:24,209 --> 00:44:25,969
Jesus's forehead bled.

598
00:44:27,929 --> 00:44:29,089
I don't see anything.

599
00:44:29,849 --> 00:44:31,009
Dress her wounds.

600
00:44:31,569 --> 00:44:32,609
Close after us.

601
00:44:37,049 --> 00:44:38,409
You are doubtful?

602
00:44:39,209 --> 00:44:40,369
The girl was in bed.

603
00:44:41,369 --> 00:44:43,729
No miracle occurs in bed, believe me.

604
00:44:43,769 --> 00:44:45,089
What do I write?

605
00:44:48,729 --> 00:44:51,289
The absence of signs on her head
is troubling.

606
00:44:52,769 --> 00:44:54,809
In all confirmed cases of stigmata,

607
00:44:54,969 --> 00:44:57,929
evidence of the crown of thorns
was recorded.

608
00:44:58,329 --> 00:45:00,569
God is not bound by any rule book.

609
00:45:02,449 --> 00:45:03,449
Do we agree?

610
00:45:05,009 --> 00:45:07,010
-[Benedetta] Your Grace?
-[Cecchi] Yes, my child.

611
00:45:07,089 --> 00:45:08,409
May I go?

612
00:45:08,889 --> 00:45:09,929
Of course.

613
00:45:15,249 --> 00:45:17,209
Would you care for a glass of wine?

614
00:45:17,529 --> 00:45:18,530
Most gladly.

615
00:45:20,929 --> 00:45:22,929
Leave me. I need to pray.

616
00:45:33,089 --> 00:45:35,449
You find me too willing
to believe this miracle?

617
00:45:35,609 --> 00:45:38,529
My dear provost,
I don't think you believe it at all.

618
00:45:39,969 --> 00:45:41,248
Am I so cynical?

619
00:45:42,088 --> 00:45:43,009
Perhaps.

620
00:45:43,610 --> 00:45:45,489
Unless I have a vision of my own.

621
00:45:46,969 --> 00:45:48,050
It seems possible.

622
00:45:49,529 --> 00:45:51,688
A vision of St. Francis, perhaps?

623
00:45:52,729 --> 00:45:55,489
Assisi was once
an insignificant village.

624
00:45:55,929 --> 00:45:57,610
Now, pilgrims flood there.

625
00:45:58,489 --> 00:46:00,089
Filling both its basilicas.

626
00:46:00,490 --> 00:46:03,129
Administered by a bishop,
not a provost.

[satanic voice]
Blasphemy!

631
00:46:21,969 --> 00:46:24,089
Know, O sinners,

632
00:46:24,530 --> 00:46:27,049
that as plague stalks the land,

633
00:46:27,208 --> 00:46:30,290
Pescia has been spared
only by the grace

634
00:46:30,449 --> 00:46:31,649
of my bride!

635
00:46:32,529 --> 00:46:33,729
You harass,

636
00:46:33,889 --> 00:46:35,809
torment and persecute

637
00:46:35,969 --> 00:46:37,970
she who has protected you!

638
00:46:47,690 --> 00:46:48,689
What did you see?

639
00:46:48,729 --> 00:46:49,809
-She fell.
-[glass crunching]

640
00:46:54,129 --> 00:46:55,529
[whispering]
A timely miracle.

641
00:46:57,449 --> 00:47:00,449
Your Grace,
this has gone far enough.

642
00:47:00,489 --> 00:47:02,449
You'd bring the fury of God upon us?

643
00:47:03,729 --> 00:47:05,889
You heard the words spoken
a moment ago.

644
00:47:06,050 --> 00:47:08,729
-I heard words.
-You mock me now as well?

645
00:47:12,249 --> 00:47:15,410
The child's words,
however troubling, are of God.

646
00:47:15,969 --> 00:47:18,009
I feel it deep in my soul.

647
00:47:18,088 --> 00:47:21,729
This miracle glorifies the Theatines.
Can you not see?

648
00:47:24,009 --> 00:47:25,049
I see, your Grace.

649
00:47:27,129 --> 00:47:28,130
[Cecchi]
You act docile...

650
00:47:30,089 --> 00:47:32,609
but you'll stab me
as soon as I turn my back.

651
00:47:33,249 --> 00:47:34,169
Well,

652
00:47:34,569 --> 00:47:37,449
we'll see if God gives us
all we desire.

[Christina] People really will think
Benedetta's a saint,

658
00:47:55,649 --> 00:47:57,569
when we know it's nonsense.

00:47:57,770 --> 00:47:58,929
[window closes]

660
00:47:59,649 --> 00:48:00,569
Do we?

661
00:48:00,689 --> 00:48:03,329
You remark on her unwounded brow,

662
00:48:03,569 --> 00:48:06,609
and suddenly, she smashes a glass
and wounds appear.

663
00:48:06,769 --> 00:48:08,529
Did you see her?
Were you there?

664
00:48:11,090 --> 00:48:12,009
No.

665
00:48:12,129 --> 00:48:13,449
So you know nothing.

666
00:48:19,369 --> 00:48:20,368
I saw nothing.

667
00:48:21,249 --> 00:48:22,209
But I know.

668
00:48:22,288 --> 00:48:23,570
How do you know?

669
00:48:24,009 --> 00:48:25,129
Did God show you?

670
00:48:25,929 --> 00:48:27,649
Did you have a vision also?

671
00:48:39,489 --> 00:48:40,970
Why are you defending her?

672
00:48:46,569 --> 00:48:49,209
We don't always understand
the instruments God uses.

673
00:48:49,610 --> 00:48:52,649
Perhaps he put Benedetta in a trance
and in that state,

674
00:48:53,008 --> 00:48:54,209
she harmed herself.

675
00:48:55,849 --> 00:48:58,089
Or perhaps God sent us a madwoman,

676
00:48:59,890 --> 00:49:02,729
who spouts nonsense to serve his ends.

Will I not die without my heart?

You will live. Do you love me?

Jesus gave me a new heart.

Too big for my chest.

00:53:17,249 --> 00:53:18,209
Sister Benedetta!

745
00:53:19,409 --> 00:53:20,329
Come forward.

746
00:54:04,209 --> 00:54:05,209
[metal clanking]

747
00:54:06,050 --> 00:54:07,528

748
00:54:18,049 --> 00:54:19,289
[Benedetta giggling]

749
00:54:22,929 --> 00:54:23,848
It's bouncy.

750
00:54:24,449 --> 00:54:25,809
-It's my bed.
-So soft.

751
00:54:31,569 --> 00:54:33,329
-And it's all ours.
-[Benedetta] Mm-hm.

752
00:54:43,449 --> 00:54:44,689
Sister Jacopa fell!

753
00:54:45,009 --> 00:54:46,209
She can't move!

754
00:54:49,250 --> 00:54:51,369
[gasping]

755
00:54:59,049 --> 00:55:00,490
I doubt she'll last the day.

756
00:55:02,489 --> 00:55:03,489
Reverend Mother,

757
00:55:03,809 --> 00:55:05,089
I'll stay with her.

758
00:55:05,409 --> 00:55:06,329
Of course.

759
00:55:07,169 --> 00:55:10,370
But if she doesn't go by vespers,
you must leave her side.

760
00:55:10,529 --> 00:55:13,209
It will be my first divine office
as abbess.

761
00:55:14,009 --> 00:55:15,809
Jesus told me you must attend.

762
00:55:17,329 --> 00:55:18,568
Yes, Reverend Mother.

763
00:55:19,850 --> 00:55:21,569
I'll stay with Sister Jacopa.

764
00:55:21,729 --> 00:55:23,049
Until lauds, if necessary.

765
00:55:23,450 --> 00:55:24,369
Perfect.

766
00:55:25,129 --> 00:55:26,529
Jesus didn't mention you.

767
00:55:36,529 --> 00:55:39,369
They throw mud in your face
and you say nothing.

768
00:55:39,449 --> 00:55:41,129
It's how the game is played.

769
00:55:41,289 --> 00:55:43,489
And in the end, we all win.

770
00:55:43,769 --> 00:55:47,329
The provost gets his bishopric
and the Theatines will prosper.

771
00:55:47,690 --> 00:55:48,729
That's so important?

772
00:55:50,169 --> 00:55:53,849
It may be vain and useless
but I have devoted my life to it.

773
00:55:54,088 --> 00:55:56,609
[gasping, groaning]

774
00:55:58,250 --> 00:56:01,130
I had one life to give
and I chose this convent.

775
00:56:01,729 --> 00:56:03,289
Perhaps it chose me.

776
00:56:05,529 --> 00:56:06,568
Mother, you can't...

777
00:56:06,729 --> 00:56:08,488
Call me Sister Felicita.

778
00:56:09,889 --> 00:56:13,009
People have to know.
What's going on here is blasphemy.

779
00:56:13,168 --> 00:56:15,250
Everyone who matters already knows.

780
00:56:15,609 --> 00:56:17,489
If they don't denounce Benedetta,

781
00:56:17,649 --> 00:56:20,050
they don't want her to be denounced.

782
00:56:20,848 --> 00:56:23,289
If you speak out, they'll destroy you.

783
00:56:23,609 --> 00:56:24,850
You'll be alone.

784
00:56:26,529 --> 00:56:27,969
I will not defend you.

785
00:56:27,969 --> 00:56:29,889
[bell tolling]

786
00:56:30,969 --> 00:56:33,449
Time for vespers, Sister Felicita.

789
00:57:15,009 --> 00:57:16,049
Lies.

793
00:57:57,089 --> 00:57:58,209
Father...

794
00:57:59,209 --> 00:58:00,449
I want to confess.

795
00:58:00,609 --> 00:58:01,769
At this hour?

796
00:58:01,850 --> 00:58:03,409
I must, Father. Please.

797
00:58:04,649 --> 00:58:07,569
You refused to bow before God.
Have you repented?

798
00:58:08,049 --> 00:58:09,769
The Lord taught me never to lie.

799
00:58:10,969 --> 00:58:13,048
And that has led me to repentance.

800
00:58:33,849 --> 00:58:37,769
Speak. Restore your bonds to the Lord,
the living Christ.

801
00:58:41,050 --> 00:58:43,729
It concerns Sister Benedetta. I...

802
00:58:43,809 --> 00:58:45,249
You refer to the Reverend Mother?

803
00:58:47,849 --> 00:58:48,849
Yes.

804
00:58:49,690 --> 00:58:51,569
Yes, I refer to the Reverend Mother.

805
00:58:52,209 --> 00:58:53,690
She's a false prophetess.

806
00:58:54,289 --> 00:58:56,769
Her miracle was false.
She created her stigmata.

807
00:58:56,929 --> 00:58:59,570
This is confession.
You came to accuse others?

808
00:59:00,410 --> 00:59:02,689
I accuse myself of remaining silent.

809
00:59:03,410 --> 00:59:04,370
It was cowardice.

810
00:59:08,609 --> 00:59:09,890
Do you have proof?

811
00:59:10,289 --> 00:59:12,369
The stigmata on her head.

812
00:59:13,528 --> 00:59:15,249
She used a shard of glass

813
00:59:15,729 --> 00:59:18,129
to lacerate her brow and make it bleed.

814
00:59:20,529 --> 00:59:21,849
Did you witness this?

815
00:59:27,249 --> 00:59:28,169
Yes.

816
00:59:34,249 --> 00:59:36,169

00:59:38,930 --> 00:59:39,890
A three!

That is a...

819
00:59:43,370 --> 00:59:45,329
-Four.
-Yes, go on.

820
00:59:49,449 --> 00:59:51,129
You're pressing too hard.

821
00:59:54,489 --> 00:59:55,569
Try again.

822
00:59:57,568 --> 00:59:59,169
-I can't.
-You can.

823
01:00:01,610 --> 01:00:02,609
Come on.

Deeper!

839
01:03:16,129 --> 01:03:17,289
I can't.

840
01:03:18,209 --> 01:03:19,370
My hand's too big.

856
01:05:38,409 --> 01:05:41,809
Today's reading is taken from Leviticus.

857
01:05:43,370 --> 01:05:45,129
But before I begin,

858
01:05:45,529 --> 01:05:49,168
I want to address questions
troubling the hearts of some sisters.

859
01:05:50,930 --> 01:05:51,928
Sister Christina.

860
01:05:53,089 --> 01:05:54,688
If something preys on your mind,

861
01:05:56,289 --> 01:05:58,129
it is your duty to express it.

862
01:05:59,968 --> 01:06:02,007
You want me to talk now?

863
01:06:03,009 --> 01:06:04,768
-Here?
-Where else?

864
01:06:05,769 --> 01:06:08,210
Pour out your heart.
Stand, speak.

865
01:06:17,128 --> 01:06:18,369
Go ahead, speak!

866
01:06:28,288 --> 01:06:29,529
Our Mother Superior

867
01:06:30,688 --> 01:06:31,609
deceives us,

868
01:06:32,449 --> 01:06:33,369
lies to us.

869
01:06:34,369 --> 01:06:35,728
[priest]
Sister, explain yourself.

870
01:06:36,649 --> 01:06:39,568
Do you have a grievance
against our Reverend Mother?

871
01:06:41,367 --> 01:06:42,448
All I know is...

872
01:06:44,128 --> 01:06:45,129
What do you know?

873
01:06:52,370 --> 01:06:53,569
Benedetta tricks us.

874
01:06:55,049 --> 01:06:56,649
She marked her forehead herself.

875
01:06:57,609 --> 01:06:58,648
When she fell,

876
01:06:58,889 --> 01:07:00,289
she broke a glass jar and...

877
01:07:00,449 --> 01:07:01,610
cut herself with it.

878
01:07:02,049 --> 01:07:02,969
I saw her.

879
01:07:03,209 --> 01:07:05,209
My dear sister,
what are you saying?

880
01:07:05,409 --> 01:07:07,089
And I'm sure the other signs

881
01:07:07,249 --> 01:07:08,769
came about the same way.

882
01:07:10,129 --> 01:07:11,210
[priest]
Sister Christina...

883
01:07:12,410 --> 01:07:13,449
So you saw

884
01:07:13,929 --> 01:07:16,970
our Reverend Mother cut herself
with a shard of glass?

885
01:07:17,129 --> 01:07:18,209
Is that right?

886
01:07:18,569 --> 01:07:20,769
Yes. And I told the abbess.

887
01:07:28,169 --> 01:07:29,489
What did you tell her?

888
01:07:30,489 --> 01:07:31,569
What I saw.

889
01:07:32,690 --> 01:07:34,529
What Sister Benedetta did.

890
01:07:37,250 --> 01:07:38,450
You do know

891
01:07:39,050 --> 01:07:40,849
false witness is a mortal sin?

892
01:07:43,449 --> 01:07:45,170
I'm not the one who lies.

893
01:07:49,528 --> 01:07:50,649
Sister Felicita,

894
01:07:51,689 --> 01:07:52,849
step forward.

895
01:08:07,970 --> 01:08:09,209
[priest]
Did Sister Christina

896
01:08:09,409 --> 01:08:12,610
tell you that she saw Sister Benedetta

897
01:08:12,770 --> 01:08:15,328
inflicting wounds on her own forehead?

898
01:08:17,329 --> 01:08:18,929
She had serious doubts.

899
01:08:19,370 --> 01:08:20,450
But did she see it?

900
01:08:23,129 --> 01:08:25,529
She did not say
she witnessed it directly...

901
01:08:25,689 --> 01:08:27,010
Directly?

902
01:08:27,089 --> 01:08:28,609
Did she witness it or not?

903
01:08:32,689 --> 01:08:33,609
No.

904
01:08:37,369 --> 01:08:38,609
She did not witness it.

905
01:08:44,609 --> 01:08:45,729
Liar!

906
01:08:46,729 --> 01:08:48,009
[satanic voice]
She denies me!

907
01:08:48,249 --> 01:08:49,729
Satan has possessed her!

908
01:08:50,569 --> 01:08:51,489
Punish her!

909
01:08:52,529 --> 01:08:53,728
Flagellation!

910
01:08:54,089 --> 01:08:55,648
She must flagellate herself!

911
01:08:55,810 --> 01:08:58,289
The devil must be
driven out of your body!

912
01:09:00,329 --> 01:09:03,209

I have a gift for you.

925
01:10:18,689 --> 01:10:21,249
It will go deeper than my fingers.
Want to try?

It's a little rough here.

I'll see to it.

01:26:30,849 --> 01:26:32,609
I'm the parish priest!

1120
01:26:38,649 --> 01:26:40,569
[indistinct shouting]

1121
01:26:40,769 --> 01:26:42,689
[wagon clattering]

1122
01:26:53,489 --> 01:26:55,129
Open the gates for the nuncio!

1123
01:26:55,929 --> 01:26:57,129
The gates stay shut.

1124
01:26:57,770 --> 01:26:59,368
No one in, no one out.

1125
01:27:00,650 --> 01:27:02,889
I'm the nuncio of Florence. Open up!

1126
01:27:03,049 --> 01:27:05,570
Even if you're the pope,
we won't open up.

1127
01:27:05,729 --> 01:27:08,090
You're under my authority,
the Church's authority.

1128
01:27:08,769 --> 01:27:11,210
Here we're under the authority
of Jesus himself.

1129
01:27:11,369 --> 01:27:12,849
The gates stay shut!

1130
01:27:20,488 --> 01:27:21,689
Your Excellency.

1131
01:27:22,889 --> 01:27:24,328
I am the provost of Pescia.

1132
01:27:26,009 --> 01:27:28,129
I am Alfonso Giglioli, papal nuncio,

1133
01:27:28,289 --> 01:27:30,369
here to talk to the abbess
of the Theatines.

1134
01:27:31,449 --> 01:27:33,329
It grieves me to tell you,

1135
01:27:33,489 --> 01:27:36,170
the holy Benedetta died this afternoon.

1136
01:27:38,770 --> 01:27:41,009
We are sorry you came all this way.

1137
01:27:41,608 --> 01:27:44,570
I'll celebrate the funeral mass with you.
Take me to her.

1138
01:27:44,729 --> 01:27:45,729
Let's go.

1139
01:27:48,129 --> 01:27:49,809
The plague must stay outside.

1140
01:27:51,009 --> 01:27:54,170
Anyone who enters must be examined
by our doctors.

1141
01:27:54,329 --> 01:27:55,289
Even you, Excellency.

1142
01:27:55,449 --> 01:27:56,929
God has sent us.

1143
01:27:57,089 --> 01:27:58,930
And you will not stop us.

1144
01:27:59,930 --> 01:28:00,929
We go in.

1145
01:28:05,810 --> 01:28:07,730
[clattering]

1146
01:28:25,648 --> 01:28:26,930
-[banging on door]
-Open up.

1147
01:28:31,209 --> 01:28:33,289
An honor to welcome you, Excellency.

1148
01:28:41,489 --> 01:28:43,449
[giggling]

1149
01:28:43,489 --> 01:28:44,769
[loud thud]

1150
01:28:48,969 --> 01:28:51,089
You chose today to put on a theatrical?

1151
01:28:51,169 --> 01:28:52,329
No, your Excellency.

1152
01:28:52,690 --> 01:28:55,449
Before she died, the abbess revealed
how God wanted us

1153
01:28:55,610 --> 01:28:57,689
to celebrate her ascension to heaven.

1154
01:28:57,770 --> 01:29:00,849
-Another vision?
-Yes, Excellency, exactly.

1155
01:29:01,009 --> 01:29:05,210
Her coffin was to be carried
by nine novices dressed as angels.

1156
01:29:06,249 --> 01:29:08,169
[giggling]

1157
01:29:12,609 --> 01:29:15,129
[singing]

1158
01:29:16,369 --> 01:29:17,729
[singing stops]

1159
01:29:29,369 --> 01:29:30,689
Skin intact.

1160
01:29:31,250 --> 01:29:32,649
No trace of plague.

1161
01:29:33,329 --> 01:29:34,768
She received the last rites?

1162
01:29:34,929 --> 01:29:37,130
[priest]
No, her death was too sudden.

1163
01:29:37,690 --> 01:29:39,329
[Giglioli]
I shall administer them now.

1164
01:29:39,770 --> 01:29:41,089
Make preparations.

1165
01:29:41,810 --> 01:29:42,969
[whispering]
Are you satisfied?

1166
01:29:44,368 --> 01:29:46,370
I never wanted her to die.

1167
01:29:48,009 --> 01:29:49,529
Not so quickly, at least.

1168
01:30:01,929 --> 01:30:03,849
[speaking in Latin]

1169
01:30:12,329 --> 01:30:14,249
-[screaming]
-[gasping]

1170
01:30:15,609 --> 01:30:17,050
Jesus, hold onto me!

1171
01:30:18,329 --> 01:30:19,729
Don't let me go back!

1172
01:30:21,050 --> 01:30:22,889
I want to stay with you.
[sobbing]

1173
01:30:33,689 --> 01:30:36,129
I was in heaven, in perfect peace.

1174
01:30:36,569 --> 01:30:38,170
But I was torn from it.

1175
01:30:38,849 --> 01:30:41,649
Like a baby from the womb,
I was sent back.

1176
01:30:43,609 --> 01:30:45,649
Jesus brought me back here to Earth.

1177
01:30:45,809 --> 01:30:47,049
Why so, mother?

1178
01:30:49,690 --> 01:30:52,249
I saw the souls
of those who are soon to die.

1179
01:30:54,929 --> 01:30:57,489
I saw your souls,
shed floods of tears.

1180
01:31:00,088 --> 01:31:02,529
You saw mine as well, I suppose?

1181
01:31:03,449 --> 01:31:05,409
Jesus sent me back down here

1182
01:31:06,170 --> 01:31:09,050
to save you from the plague
and what lies beyond.

1183
01:31:09,609 --> 01:31:11,529
The eternal flames of hell.

1184
01:31:11,769 --> 01:31:14,690
Concern yourself
not with the fires of hell.

1185
01:31:14,849 --> 01:31:18,129
It may be the fires of this world
that consume you.

1186
01:31:19,249 --> 01:31:21,369
Black Death approaches Pescia.

1187
01:31:21,729 --> 01:31:23,649
He waits, sharpening his scythe.

1188
01:31:23,769 --> 01:31:25,649
I saw swollen bodies. I saw blood.

1189
01:31:25,809 --> 01:31:27,969
Rich and poor, women and children.

1190
01:31:28,970 --> 01:31:30,609
But Jesus was there too.

1191
01:31:31,369 --> 01:31:33,809
He swore that as long as I live,
you shall live!

1192
01:31:35,969 --> 01:31:38,209
You stand accused of blasphemy,

1193
01:31:38,368 --> 01:31:40,850
heresy and bestiality.

1194
01:31:42,729 --> 01:31:44,529
Your trial will begin tomorrow.

1195
01:32:08,889 --> 01:32:11,089
We found nothing, your Excellency.

1196
01:32:12,529 --> 01:32:13,809
You searched everywhere?

1197
01:32:13,969 --> 01:32:15,649
Gutted the mattresses and cushions?

1198
01:32:15,808 --> 01:32:17,609
Yes, your Excellency. Nothing.

1199
01:32:19,689 --> 01:32:20,849
It's that big.

1200
01:32:21,289 --> 01:32:23,810
It must be somewhere. Look again.

1201
01:32:26,169 --> 01:32:27,650
What will you tell them?

1202
01:32:27,849 --> 01:32:29,169
The truth, what else?

1203
01:32:29,809 --> 01:32:31,289
You can tell them something else.

1204
01:32:39,929 --> 01:32:41,609
Novice Bartolomea, stand up.

1205
01:32:45,089 --> 01:32:46,010
Stand up!

1206
01:32:50,929 --> 01:32:51,849
Good.

1207
01:32:52,169 --> 01:32:54,929
Sister Felicita,
tell us what you saw.

1208
01:32:56,729 --> 01:32:58,649
I have no words for such acts.

1209
01:32:59,129 --> 01:33:00,369
Do your best.

1210
01:33:03,689 --> 01:33:06,170
I saw this girl in carnal embrace

1211
01:33:07,010 --> 01:33:09,050
with Mother Superior Benedetta.

1212
01:33:10,010 --> 01:33:12,129
Can you be more specific, sister?

1213
01:33:13,730 --> 01:33:15,569
They used each other,

1214
01:33:16,929 --> 01:33:18,049
by turns,

1215
01:33:19,209 --> 01:33:20,649
as a man uses a woman.

1216
01:33:22,009 --> 01:33:24,609
[Giglioli] How did you come to
witness these acts?

1217
01:33:25,929 --> 01:33:28,049
Through a spy hole that I cut myself

1218
01:33:28,209 --> 01:33:30,170
in the wall of my former chamber.

1219
01:33:30,329 --> 01:33:32,249
Is that not a mortal sin?

1220
01:33:32,649 --> 01:33:34,049
Spying on her mother superior.

1221
01:33:34,209 --> 01:33:37,049
We are not judging
the former abbess's conduct.

1222
01:33:37,209 --> 01:33:40,168
We should.
How do we know her declarations

1223
01:33:40,330 --> 01:33:41,809
are not born of jealousy?

1224
01:33:41,969 --> 01:33:44,330
-Or spite?
-Sister Felicita's testimony

1225
01:33:44,489 --> 01:33:46,090
is a beginning not an end.

1226
01:33:46,769 --> 01:33:47,809
Bartolomea...

1227
01:33:49,089 --> 01:33:51,409
how do you respond to this accusation?

1228
01:33:52,089 --> 01:33:53,409
Is there truth in it?

1229
01:33:54,609 --> 01:33:56,569
-I didn't understand.
-Pardon me?

1230
01:33:56,930 --> 01:33:59,129
I didn't understand what she said.

1231
01:33:59,488 --> 01:34:02,889
Have you looked
upon Abbess Benedetta with lust?

1232
01:34:02,969 --> 01:34:05,769
Lust? Between women?
Impossible!

1233
01:34:05,929 --> 01:34:08,809
This convent seems rarely bound
by the possible.

1234
01:34:09,889 --> 01:34:10,929
Bartolomea,

1235
01:34:11,489 --> 01:34:15,769
yes or no, have you looked
upon Abbess Benedetta with lust?

1236
01:34:19,569 --> 01:34:20,488
With love.

1237
01:34:23,089 --> 01:34:26,009
All I feel for Mother Benedetta is love.

1238
01:34:27,208 --> 01:34:29,330
The love I feel for all my sisters.

1239
01:34:29,729 --> 01:34:33,170
You have not expressed your love
for your sisters

1240
01:34:33,249 --> 01:34:34,809
in the same way, have you?

1241
01:34:34,929 --> 01:34:35,848
No!

1242
01:34:37,130 --> 01:34:38,249
Sister Felicita,

1243
01:34:38,569 --> 01:34:40,049
by what means

1244
01:34:40,489 --> 01:34:45,049
did novice Bartolomea express
her love for the mother superior?

1245
01:34:48,249 --> 01:34:51,089
She used a wooden figure

1246
01:34:51,169 --> 01:34:52,689
of the Blessed Virgin

1247
01:34:53,570 --> 01:34:54,769
to penetrate

1248
01:34:55,329 --> 01:34:57,969
the sex of Benedetta
and bring her to crisis.

1249
01:34:59,609 --> 01:35:01,130
<i>Crimen nefastum.</i>

1250
01:35:02,930 --> 01:35:05,529
A sacrilegious inversion of natural order.

1251
01:35:05,690 --> 01:35:09,129
An abomination that merits
the ultimate punishment.

1252
01:35:10,009 --> 01:35:10,929
The stake!

1253
01:35:11,409 --> 01:35:12,410
It's not true.

1254
01:35:12,849 --> 01:35:13,849
Not true.

1255
01:35:17,609 --> 01:35:20,769
You might yet save your soul, child.

1256
01:35:21,849 --> 01:35:23,129
If you confess.

1257
01:35:29,649 --> 01:35:31,809
I have nothing to confess,
your Excellency.

1258
01:35:42,849 --> 01:35:45,209
If you know, why must I confess?

1259
01:35:45,369 --> 01:35:47,090
Confession mitigates your sins.

1260
01:35:47,249 --> 01:35:50,529
You might save yourself from the stake.
Benedetta, too.

1261
01:36:16,609 --> 01:36:17,569
Undress her.

1262
01:36:30,089 --> 01:36:32,609
[grunting]

1263
01:36:34,329 --> 01:36:36,249
[grunting]

1264
01:36:36,688 --> 01:36:38,049
[screaming]

1265
01:36:40,169 --> 01:36:42,089
[Bartolomea sobbing]

1266
01:36:47,849 --> 01:36:50,570
You can save your soul if you speak.

1267
01:36:53,529 --> 01:36:54,729
All right.

1268
01:36:59,049 --> 01:37:00,089
I confess.

1269
01:37:00,809 --> 01:37:02,409
I've had horrible thoughts.

1270
01:37:03,809 --> 01:37:06,650
Sister Juliana is hateful.
I wished her dead!

1271
01:37:06,809 --> 01:37:08,049
Let me go now!

1272
01:37:09,889 --> 01:37:11,809
[crying]

1273
01:37:13,289 --> 01:37:14,249
My child...

1274
01:37:14,929 --> 01:37:16,609
that's not what we want.

1275
01:37:22,329 --> 01:37:23,969
[screaming]

1276
01:37:24,009 --> 01:37:25,689
[panting]

1277
01:37:31,569 --> 01:37:32,690
The pear of anguish.

1278
01:37:36,129 --> 01:37:38,929
Have you seen the like before?

1279
01:37:41,249 --> 01:37:45,290
-[metal creaking]
-Joan of Arc was a courageous warrior,

1280
01:37:45,449 --> 01:37:47,489
which even her enemies acknowledged,

1281
01:37:48,449 --> 01:37:52,649
and yet, she confessed to all her sins
upon sight of the torture instruments.

1282
01:37:55,249 --> 01:37:58,490
There is no need to pretend
to be braver than Joan of Arc.

1283
01:37:59,209 --> 01:38:00,969
No need to pretend anything.

1284
01:38:02,569 --> 01:38:04,009
I've already confessed.

1285
01:38:05,529 --> 01:38:07,849
I told you
I wanted to kill Sister Juliana.

1286
01:38:08,009 --> 01:38:09,569
I am guilty of murder.

1287
01:38:11,489 --> 01:38:12,529
Have mercy.

1288
01:38:21,249 --> 01:38:23,169
[grunting]

1289
01:38:25,210 --> 01:38:26,929
[Bartolomea sobbing]

1290
01:38:27,410 --> 01:38:28,649
I've confessed!

1291
01:38:30,010 --> 01:38:31,569
[door closes]

1292
01:38:34,729 --> 01:38:38,249
We are strangers as yet
but we're on the same boat.

1293
01:38:39,929 --> 01:38:41,289
The journey may be long.

1294
01:38:41,810 --> 01:38:43,049
It may be short.

1295
01:38:44,089 --> 01:38:46,009
Let's pray God lights our way.

1296
01:38:46,849 --> 01:38:49,409

1307
01:39:52,129 --> 01:39:54,049
What do you think love is?

1308
01:39:59,529 --> 01:40:00,569
I think...

1309
01:40:01,449 --> 01:40:03,409
love is not feeling alone.

1310
01:40:05,369 --> 01:40:06,289
It's...

1311
01:40:06,850 --> 01:40:08,289
a warmth here.

1312
01:40:12,568 --> 01:40:13,689
Your feet are sore?

1313
01:40:25,649 --> 01:40:28,089
The abbess would wash my feet?

1314
01:40:30,449 --> 01:40:33,050
As a novice,
I washed more than my share.

1315
01:40:35,810 --> 01:40:36,729
You have never touched a man?

1316
01:40:38,929 --> 01:40:40,129
No.

1317
01:40:40,209 --> 01:40:41,289
Why?

1318
01:40:41,369 --> 01:40:43,889
You don't feel
a woman's natural desires?

1319
01:40:45,250 --> 01:40:47,089
My only desire is for God.

1320
01:40:58,010 --> 01:41:00,409
Trying to seduce me?

1321
01:41:00,489 --> 01:41:02,009
Where'd you pick up a whore's talents?

1322
01:41:02,649 --> 01:41:04,809
I know little of a whore's talents.

1323
01:41:04,969 --> 01:41:07,610
And I won't ask
how you came to know them.

I'm not afraid.

1328
01:41:31,649 --> 01:41:32,609
Of course.

1329
01:41:33,889 --> 01:41:36,290
You advance,
wearing armor of light.

1330
01:41:37,250 --> 01:41:39,209
Love is the only armor I need.

1331
01:41:39,729 --> 01:41:41,409
The love of Christ, do you mean?

1332
01:41:42,369 --> 01:41:44,329
Or the love of Bartolomea?

1333
01:41:46,369 --> 01:41:47,849
That of Bartolomea also.

1334
01:41:49,209 --> 01:41:50,368
So Jesus must share?

1335
01:41:53,330 --> 01:41:55,250
He joyfully shares everything.

1336
01:41:55,689 --> 01:41:57,088
With the whole human race.

1337
01:41:59,050 --> 01:42:00,290
That warmth you feel.

1338
01:42:00,449 --> 01:42:01,369
Here.

1339
01:42:02,009 --> 01:42:04,648
It's not love
for the whole human race.

1340
01:42:04,810 --> 01:42:06,449
It's particular, isn't it?

1341
01:42:07,528 --> 01:42:09,329
Bartolomea is the particular.

1342
01:42:10,089 --> 01:42:12,049
Through her, I reach universal love.

1343
01:42:14,529 --> 01:42:17,969
Or the universal reaches you
through a chunk of wood, is that right?

1344

Bartolomea...

1348
01:42:36,969 --> 01:42:39,249
I told them how you deceived me.

1349
01:42:40,490 --> 01:42:42,530
How you forced me to sin.

1350
01:42:44,450 --> 01:42:46,049
They put lies in your mouth.

1351
01:42:46,209 --> 01:42:48,089
I won't suffer for you anymore!

1352
01:42:48,409 --> 01:42:49,369
Go to hell!

1353
01:42:49,529 --> 01:42:51,369
Are you ready to confess now?

1354
01:43:01,129 --> 01:43:03,329
Here's the proof you're looking for.

1355
01:43:18,089 --> 01:43:20,129
There is your love, Benedetta.

You mock!

1360

You mock my bride
as they mocked me on the cross!

You have been judged.

1365

You'll pay for your blasphemy.

An hour ago.

1372
01:44:19,569 --> 01:44:20,769
Not a word of this.

1373
01:44:20,929 --> 01:44:23,449
Put her in the cellar.
Post a guard.

1374

No one enters or leaves.

1375
01:44:25,609 --> 01:44:27,449

And love.

1392

But pity and love
have nothing to do with duty.

1393

to pray with Sister Felicita

1400

and beg her forgiveness.

1401
01:46:54,289 --> 01:46:55,730

1402
01:46:56,450 --> 01:46:58,209
to be carried onto the square

1403
01:46:58,689 --> 01:47:01,929

For the donkey, no, of course.

1406
01:47:08,090 --> 01:47:11,529
But I will allow
her little scene with Sister Felicita.

1407
01:47:11,690 --> 01:47:15,209
We must all play our roles
to the end, mustn't we?

1408
01:47:16,769 --> 01:47:17,729

But she's not in hell.
That's something.

1416

You gave your life to God
without ever believing in him.

Now, when he should be your comfort

1418

and salvation,

1419
01:48:12,969 --> 01:48:15,369
you are alone

1420

God never spoke to me
the way he speaks to you.

He speaks to you at this moment.
