Justice of this court
allows the prisoner...

1:32:07
...to speak in her own defense.
1:32:12
I was taught healing
by Miriam of Manassas.

1:32:15
That is true.
1:32:16
But I have always sought
to use that skill...

1:32:19
...in the service of man, to relieve his pain.
1:32:22
If this convicts me of witchcraft,
and with me, my people...

1:32:26
...then may God pity every man...
1:32:28
...who seeks mercy and justice
from his fellow men.

1:32:31
For the only merciful power
in this world is death...

1:32:34
...and the only justice is beyond the grave.
I am innocent.

1:32:40
Milords, before the prisoner
convicts herself out of her own mouth...

1:32:44
...I demand the right to address her
before the court.

1:32:47
- Shall I refuse?
- No. Let him speak.

1:32:50
Your request is granted by the court,
sir knight.

1:32:57
This court long ago closed its eyes
and ears to your fate, Rebecca.

1:33:01
You will be found guilty...
1:33:03
...and you will be burnt at the stake...
1:33:05
...and the ashes of your body
will be scattered to the four winds.

1:33:12
I pray my people will not be ashamed
of the way I die.

1:33:17
The trial cannot be halted,
but the sentence can.

1:33:19
When charged, confess.
1:33:21
To what? Crimes I have not committed?
1:33:24
No matter, confess and ask for pardon.
1:33:26
They must grant it on one condition:
1:33:28
That you renounce the faith of Israel.
1:33:34
I would not live in the world you offer.
1:33:37
It has neither sun nor moon,
nor air to breathe.

1:33:41
It has no faith, no love, no honor.
1:33:46
When you leave it,
I think it will have no life.

1:33:53
Enough. You waste the time of the court.
Proceed.

1:33:56
It is the solemn judgment of this court...
1:33:58
...that Rebecca of York be pronounced
a witch...
