2:01:01
Justina, are you prepared to confirm
your statement under oath?
2:01:04
Yes, your grace.
2:01:06
Good, Justina.
2:01:08
Fanny, did you hear
Alexander's story?
2:01:11
No.
2:01:17
So you maintain that Justina
2:01:22
was either lying or dreaming?
2:01:25
yes.
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
and is severely punished.
2:01:50
Really?
2:01:53
Lay your hand on the bible
and say after me:
2:01:58
"I, Alexander Ekdahl...
2:02:02
swear by holy writ
and by the living God...
2:02:10
that all I have said,
say and will say...
2:02:20
is the whole truth
and nothing but the truth."
2:02:30
Alexander, my boy.
2:02:34
You remember that the two of us
2:02:37
had an important conversation
about a year ago.
2:02:41
It concerned certain moral questions.
2:02:43
It wasn't really a conversation.
2:02:48
What do you mean?
2:02:50
The bishop spoke
and Alexander said nothing.
2:02:54
And felt ashamed, perhaps,
on account of your lies.
2:02:58
I've grown wiser since then.
