:43:00
-Acquittal.
-How?

:43:02
Legal innocence.
:43:04
I know the judge wants any reason
to throw this case out of court.

:43:12
-What do you need?
-Answers.

:43:24
When would Agnes have
conceived the child?

:43:27
Sometime in January.
:43:29
Remember anything unusual
happening at the time?

:43:33
Earthquakes.
:43:36
-Visitors to the convent?
-Nothing.

:43:39
-Do you have a daybook?
-Yes.

:43:41
-Take a look at it.
-There's nothing here.

:43:45
Was it full-term?
:43:49
-Oh, dear God.
-What is it?

:43:52
-The sheets.
-What sheets?

:43:55
Oh, dear God. I should have guessed.
:43:59
I should have suspected something.
:44:02
Marguerite says you've been sleeping
on a bare mattress. True?

:44:07
-Yes, Mother.
-Why?

:44:11
In the medieval days,
nuns and monks slept in coffins.

:44:16
-It's not the Middle Ages.
-It made them holy.

:44:20
It made them uncomfortable.
:44:22
The next day they were
cranky as mules.

:44:25
Sister, where are your sheets?
:44:29
Do you think a bare mattress
is like a coffin?

:44:34
No.
:44:36
Then tell me,
where are your sheets?

:44:39
-I burned them.
-Why?

:44:44
They were stained.
:44:46
How many times have I told you
and your fellow novice...

:44:51
...that menstruation is natural
and not to be ashamed of?

:44:55
-Yes, Mother.
-Say it.

:44:57
It is a natural process
and nothing to be ashamed of.
