Get dressed.
Your stepfather wants to talk to you.

2:00:11
Hurry up!
2:00:14
Alexander, my boy.
2:00:18
In the presence of your sister
and Justina you have accused me

2:00:21
of having murdered
my wife and children.

2:00:23
What?
2:00:25
Justina, please repeat
what you told me.

2:00:29
Alexander said he had seen
your first wife and children.

2:01:25

2:01:34
Please come here, Alexander.
2:01:37
Are you prepared to swear to it?
2:01:40
Of course.
2:01:41
It's a mortal sin to swear falsely.
2:01:45
It's called perjury

2:01:53
Lay your hand on the bible
and say after me:

2:01:58
"I, Alexander Ekdahl...
