:40:09
I'll never see you again.
:40:47
Veronica Franco, you have been
denounced a sorceress.
:40:51
Either confess and plead mercy,
or stand to receive my judgment.
:40:58
I will confess, Your Grace.
:41:06
That will please God.
:41:09
Proceed.
:41:12
I confess...
:41:13
...as a girl I loved a man who would not
marry me for want of a dowry.
:41:19
I confess I had a mother
who taught me a different way of life.
:41:23
One I resisted at first
but learned to embrace.
:41:26
I confess I became a courtesan.
:41:29
Traded yearning for power, welcomed many
rather than be owned by one.
:41:33
She does not speak to the charge.
:41:35
I confess I embraced a whore's freedom
over a wife's obedience.
:41:39
This is not repentance.
:41:42
What am I to do?
:41:43
I must confess my evil.
These are my sins.
:41:47
Your Grace, her mortal sins
are not at issue.
:41:50
She must repent witchcraft.
:41:52
Perhaps she heads in that direction.
:41:55
You have been warned.
:41:56
The Church cannot deny her right to seek
God's mercy. Confession is sacrosanct.
