00:00:15,012 --> 00:00:19,008
THE VIRGIN SPRING

2
00:00:19,008 --> 00:01:02,012
Scenario by Ulla Isaksson
based on a medieval legend

3
00:01:02,012 --> 00:02:53,012
Directed by Ingmar Bergman

4
00:02:53,012 --> 00:03:17,012
God Odin, come!

5
00:03:17,012 --> 00:03:20,012
I seek your service

6
00:03:20,012 --> 00:03:25,012
God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
with Your angel host

7
00:03:25,012 --> 00:03:30,012
Protect us this day from
the devil's snares

8
00:03:30,012 --> 00:03:44,012
Save us from sin and shame and harm

9
00:03:44,012 --> 00:04:09,008
It is Friday, the day of
Our Lord's Passion

10
00:04:09,008 --> 00:04:16,052
Lord, I almost trod on them
in the gloom

11
00:04:16,052 --> 00:04:22,052
Poor mite, live out your
miserable life...

12
00:04:22,052 --> 00:04:34,012
...as surely as God allows us all
to live

13
00:04:34,012 --> 00:04:42,006
Where have you been all night?

14
00:04:42,006 --> 00:04:51,002
You could help with the milking,
but you don't care if my legs ache

15
00:04:51,002 --> 00:04:54,008
Jesus-Maria! What a look!
What is it?

16
00:04:54,008 --> 00:05:00,036
Nothing but the old story:
bastards beget bastards

17
00:05:00,036 --> 00:05:04,002
Serves you right, Ingeri,
the way you behave

18
00:05:04,002 --> 00:05:07,036
You spit like a wildcat

19
00:05:07,036 --> 00:05:13,036
You should thank God for His mercy
in allowing you to live here...

20
00:05:13,036 --> 00:05:18,012
...even though you act like
an animal

21
00:05:18,012 --> 00:05:59,012
The milk is still on the porch

22
00:05:59,012 --> 00:06:01,096
You must ride to church
with the Virgin's candles

23
00:06:01,096 --> 00:06:06,028
Isn't Karin going to take them?

24
00:06:06,028 --> 00:06:08,012
She is unwell

25
00:06:08,012 --> 00:06:12,004
She'll be better when it's
too late for early Mass

26
00:06:12,004 --> 00:06:15,028
I think she has a fever

27
00:06:15,028 --> 00:06:19,008
Last night she danced
feverishly enough

28
00:06:19,008 --> 00:06:26,076
You're no more like your stepsister
than a thorn is like a rose!

29
00:06:26,076 --> 00:06:29,096
You still act like a wildcat...

30
00:06:29,096 --> 00:07:26,044
...even now, when we ought to
turn you out

31
00:07:26,044 --> 00:07:34,008
Lord, bless our daily bread

32
00:07:34,008 --> 00:07:39,044
Isn't Karin taking the Virgin's
candles to Mass?

33
00:07:39,044 --> 00:07:42,028
Karin is unwell

34
00:07:42,028 --> 00:07:46,052
She's a lazybones. She was
well enough to dance

35
00:07:46,052 --> 00:07:49,012
Today she is unwell

36
00:07:49,012 --> 00:07:52,052
Too ill to ride to church?

37
00:07:52,052 --> 00:07:55,028
Frida will take the candles

38
00:07:55,028 --> 00:07:58,096
But a maiden must take
the Virgin's candles

39
00:07:58,096 --> 00:08:02,096
You are always so strict with Karin

40
00:08:02,096 --> 00:08:08,006
You are always so easygoing with her

41
00:08:08,006 --> 00:08:11,008
She is the only child I have left

42
00:08:11,008 --> 00:08:15,004
So she should be brought up well

43
00:08:15,004 --> 00:08:21,052
I had evil dreams last night

44
00:08:21,052 --> 00:08:27,002
You mortify your flesh too much

45
00:08:27,002 --> 00:08:29,096
Send Ingeri to wake Karen

46
00:08:29,096 --> 00:08:34,008
I'll go myself

47
00:08:34,008 --> 00:08:38,008
Go and rouse the sluggard

48
00:08:38,008 --> 00:10:52,052
Ingeri, prepare Karin's food for
the journey: bread, cheese and meat

49
00:10:52,052 --> 00:10:59,036
-Are you ill?
-No, only sleepy

50
00:10:59,036 --> 00:11:02,036
May I have breakfast in bed?

51
00:11:02,036 --> 00:11:09,006
Father says you must take the
Virgin's candles to church

52
00:11:09,006 --> 00:11:13,012
-lf you are ill, Frida will go
-I'm not ill

53
00:11:13,012 --> 00:11:15,052
Then you must go

54
00:11:15,052 --> 00:11:20,012
-lf I can wear my silk shift
-On a week day?

55
00:11:20,012 --> 00:11:22,008
Then I won't go

56
00:11:22,008 --> 00:11:29,096
You're behaving childishly

57
00:11:29,096 --> 00:11:33,008
If I had answered my parents
in that tone...

58
00:11:33,008 --> 00:11:37,028
...I'd have been birched and
made to fast

59
00:11:37,028 --> 00:11:44,004
Birch me and starve me, then.
Give me berries instead of bread

60
00:11:44,004 --> 00:11:48,036
You know I can't be strict with you,
though I should be

61
00:11:48,036 --> 00:11:54,012
You're laughing now, but I warn you:
father is angry

62
00:11:54,012 --> 00:11:59,012
Get my yellow shift, my Sunday
skirts and my blue cloak

63
00:11:59,012 --> 00:12:04,002
Then I'll be happy, you'll be
happy and father will be happy

64
00:12:04,002 --> 00:12:07,006
How demurely I'll ride to church

65
00:12:07,006 --> 00:12:12,028
And Tawny's hooves will trot as
though on a pilgrimage...

66
00:12:12,028 --> 00:12:17,006
...and I shall look neither left nor
right, but straight ahead...

67
00:12:17,006 --> 00:12:28,006
...and think of the candles
and the Holy Virgin

68
00:12:28,006 --> 00:12:30,052
White stockings...

69
00:12:30,052 --> 00:12:52,036
...and the blue shoes with pearls

70
00:12:52,036 --> 00:12:57,036
This is no ordinary shift

71
00:12:57,036 --> 00:13:14,044
Fifteen maidens stitched it

72
00:13:14,044 --> 00:13:23,008
Fifteen all at once?

73
00:13:23,008 --> 00:13:47,096
Sit down so that I can comb you

74
00:13:47,096 --> 00:13:53,006
No, I want it loose, to go with
my fine clothes

75
00:13:53,006 --> 00:13:57,096
If you always get your way,
you'll please the devil so much...

76
00:13:57,096 --> 00:14:01,002
...the saints will punish you
with toothache

77
00:14:01,002 --> 00:14:06,002
Why do you talk so much of the devil?
Father never does

78
00:14:06,002 --> 00:14:10,002
Because the devil is the seducer
of the innocent

79
00:14:10,002 --> 00:14:14,044
He strives to destroy all goodness

80
00:14:14,044 --> 00:14:19,012
But I always say my prayers

81
00:14:19,012 --> 00:14:23,012
Who did you dance with last night?

82
00:14:23,012 --> 00:14:30,044
I danced with him... and him...
and him

83
00:14:30,044 --> 00:14:35,012
-Why do you ask?
-I had such evil dreams

84
00:14:35,012 --> 00:14:40,006
What did you dream?

85
00:14:40,006 --> 00:14:47,044
How I'd love to dream
big, wonderful dreams

86
00:14:47,044 --> 00:14:53,012
But I never do

87
00:14:53,012 --> 00:15:23,008
Now the skirts: the blue and the red
with golden threads

88
00:15:23,008 --> 00:15:29,028
Tighter, or it won't puff out
as it should

89
00:15:29,028 --> 00:15:31,028
What about the clasp?

90
00:15:31,028 --> 00:15:39,012
Save that for Sunday,
you've gone far enough

91
00:15:39,012 --> 00:15:42,052
You're in my light

92
00:15:42,052 --> 00:15:49,006
"It's father; he's angry"

93
00:15:49,006 --> 00:15:55,044
Didn't mother say you were ill?

94
00:15:55,044 --> 00:16:00,008
Do you think I look pale
and wasted?

95
00:16:00,008 --> 00:16:03,096
Is it right to sleep after sunrise?

96
00:16:03,096 --> 00:16:11,012
I'll ask Father Erik's forgiveness
for not attending early Mass

97
00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:16,008
I'll tell him that all of you
are ill and no one woke me...

98
00:16:16,008 --> 00:16:28,044
...the candles were not ready
and Tawny was not shod

99
00:16:28,044 --> 00:16:33,052
I'll ride to the mountains
with this wicked maid...

100
00:16:33,052 --> 00:16:38,052
...and say I don't want such
a daughter

101
00:16:38,052 --> 00:16:42,028
Imprison her in the mountain
for seven years

102
00:16:42,028 --> 00:16:51,096
When she is chastened,
I'll take her back

103
00:16:51,096 --> 00:16:59,008
"Let Ingeri come with me;
she never leaves the farm now"

104
00:16:59,008 --> 00:17:04,006
It's a pity the church is
so far away

105
00:17:04,006 --> 00:17:09,044
The likes of you need a confessional
closer to hand

106
00:17:09,044 --> 00:17:13,008
You can't talk! You fled your town
in fear for your life

107
00:17:13,008 --> 00:17:16,096
"I know all about you, "learned man"

108
00:17:16,096 --> 00:17:22,012
"A bird on the wing finds food;
a bird on the roost dies"

109
00:17:22,012 --> 00:17:25,012
I have seen women and churches

110
00:17:25,012 --> 00:17:27,012
How were the churches?

111
00:17:27,012 --> 00:17:33,096
As high as heaven - and built
of stone, not wood

112
00:17:33,096 --> 00:17:38,096
With windows the colours of
the rainbow

113
00:17:38,096 --> 00:17:46,006
You may come, too, Ingeri

114
00:17:46,006 --> 00:17:51,096
Hurry, or you won't get to church
before nightfall

115
00:17:51,096 --> 00:17:55,008
Hurry, Ingeri

116
00:17:55,008 --> 00:17:57,096
Drink some mulled ale

117
00:17:57,096 --> 00:18:00,044
It's a long journey

118
00:18:00,044 --> 00:18:03,096
Give it to Ingeri, she's coming, too

119
00:18:03,096 --> 00:18:09,008
-Who said so?
-Father

120
00:18:09,008 --> 00:18:23,008
Won't you kiss me good-bye?

121
00:18:23,008 --> 00:18:34,008
The Lord Christ bless
your young life

122
00:18:34,008 --> 00:18:41,008
Take this cheese and these candles
to the priest for me

123
00:18:41,008 --> 00:18:46,008
Don't forget to give Father Erik
my message... you know it

124
00:18:46,008 --> 00:19:30,002
He's to say five paternosters
and fifteen Hail Marys

125
00:19:30,002 --> 00:19:34,008
I know an orchard sweet and fair

126
00:19:34,008 --> 00:19:39,036
A maiden with virtues so true

127
00:19:39,036 --> 00:19:44,012
Shining like spun gold her hair

128
00:19:44,012 --> 00:19:49,036
Her eyes like the heavens blue

129
00:19:49,036 --> 00:19:53,044
Happily the streams meander

130
00:19:53,044 --> 00:19:58,012
Through valleys green they wander

131
00:19:58,012 --> 00:20:45,002
In the springtime

132
00:20:45,002 --> 00:20:48,096
The little bird soars up so high

133
00:20:48,096 --> 00:20:52,008
Glides softly on the breeze

134
00:20:52,008 --> 00:20:57,002
How sweet it would be to fly

135
00:20:57,002 --> 00:21:00,096
Floating o'er mountains and trees

136
00:21:00,096 --> 00:21:04,028
Happily the streams meander

137
00:21:04,028 --> 00:21:07,096
Through valleys green they wander

138
00:21:07,096 --> 00:21:30,044
In the springtime

139
00:21:30,044 --> 00:21:35,044
-Is the child paining you?
-One day you'll know how it is

140
00:21:35,044 --> 00:21:39,008
I'll be mistress of a house and
married with honour

141
00:21:39,008 --> 00:21:44,044
We'll see how your honour is, when
a man starts fumbling you

142
00:21:44,044 --> 00:21:47,008
No man will bed me without marriage

143
00:21:47,008 --> 00:21:51,036
And if one tumbles you behind
a bush at night?

144
00:21:51,036 --> 00:21:54,016
I'll struggle free

145
00:21:54,016 --> 00:22:08,002
But he is stronger

146
00:22:08,002 --> 00:22:12,096
It's better to brighten the road
than languish in church

147
00:22:12,096 --> 00:22:15,012
I'm taking the candles

148
00:22:15,012 --> 00:22:20,006
So you've put your best on
in honour of the Virgin

149
00:22:20,006 --> 00:22:23,008
Not for you

150
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:27,036
Don't think I wear them to
please you

151
00:22:27,036 --> 00:22:31,072
-Thank you for last night, Karin
-Why Thank me?

152
00:22:31,072 --> 00:22:46,012
You've nothing to thank me for

153
00:22:46,012 --> 00:22:50,036
-What is it, Ingeri?
-I saw you with him last night

154
00:22:50,036 --> 00:22:55,052
I wanted him to find a way out
for you and the child

155
00:22:55,052 --> 00:23:04,006
And he said he'd help, if you
lay in the hay with him

156
00:23:04,006 --> 00:23:08,096
You danced with him and took
his hand

157
00:23:08,096 --> 00:23:15,002
I danced with all who gave me
their hand

158
00:23:15,002 --> 00:23:17,008
Forgive me

159
00:23:17,008 --> 00:24:19,028
Don't ask my forgiveness

160
00:24:19,028 --> 00:24:22,096
-Let's turn back
-But we're going to church

161
00:24:22,096 --> 00:24:25,012
I can take the candles

162
00:24:25,012 --> 00:24:27,096
Father and mother wouldn't
like that

163
00:24:27,096 --> 00:24:32,008
"The forest is so black; I can't go on"

164
00:24:32,008 --> 00:24:38,012
Don't cry so, you might harm
the child

165
00:24:38,012 --> 00:24:40,006
Afraid of the forest?

166
00:24:40,006 --> 00:24:43,008
Not I. I'm riding to church

167
00:24:43,008 --> 00:24:47,036
May she rest here until I return?

168
00:24:47,036 --> 00:24:52,096
This is enough for you both

169
00:24:52,096 --> 00:25:07,036
Did you think I'd slap you again?

170
00:25:07,036 --> 00:25:10,096
In labour?

171
00:25:10,096 --> 00:25:16,052
Worse than that

172
00:25:16,052 --> 00:25:54,012
Come, I can help

173
00:25:54,012 --> 00:26:10,008
Sit down. It's long since anyone
sat here with me

174
00:26:10,008 --> 00:26:18,008
-What Is your name?
-These days I have no name

175
00:26:18,008 --> 00:26:25,036
This is a forlorn place.
Have you no neighbours?

176
00:26:25,036 --> 00:26:30,028
I hear what I will and I see
what I will

177
00:26:30,028 --> 00:26:34,006
I hear what mankind whispers
in secret...

178
00:26:34,006 --> 00:26:38,044
...and I see what it believes
no one can see

179
00:26:38,044 --> 00:26:47,012
You can hear for yourself,
if you do as I do

180
00:26:47,012 --> 00:26:50,012
What thunders outside?

181
00:26:50,012 --> 00:27:01,008
Three dead men ride north

182
00:27:01,008 --> 00:27:22,004
It's long since a woman
made my seat narrow

183
00:27:22,004 --> 00:27:30,028
Here is a cure for your suffering

184
00:27:30,028 --> 00:27:38,052
Here is a cure for your woe

185
00:27:38,052 --> 00:27:47,002
Blood, cease to flow

186
00:27:47,002 --> 00:27:53,002
Fish, high and dry

187
00:27:53,002 --> 00:28:01,008
Eagle, fall from the sky

188
00:28:01,008 --> 00:28:10,052
Here is the power

189
00:28:10,052 --> 00:28:17,096
You have made a human sacrifice -
a sacrifice to Odin

190
00:28:17,096 --> 00:28:21,006
I recognized you at once

191
00:28:21,006 --> 00:28:26,028
I recognized you by your eyes,
your mouth, your hands

192
00:28:26,028 --> 00:28:30,096
"But you are afraid; you must not be"

193
00:28:30,096 --> 00:31:05,036
I shall give you strength

194
00:31:05,036 --> 00:31:07,002
That's a funny thing

195
00:31:07,002 --> 00:31:18,008
My father's - who got it from
his father's father

196
00:31:18,008 --> 00:31:20,006
Who are you?

197
00:31:20,006 --> 00:31:25,036
Three brothers, orphaned all too soon

198
00:31:25,036 --> 00:31:27,012
Who cares for you?

199
00:31:27,012 --> 00:31:31,044
We're goatherds, we live on roots
in the forest

200
00:31:31,044 --> 00:31:37,002
Mother gave me food for the journey

201
00:31:37,002 --> 00:31:43,028
-Is he dumb?
-Wicked men cut out his tongue

202
00:31:43,028 --> 00:31:50,052
He says we can only accept the food
if you share it with us

203
00:31:50,052 --> 00:31:53,096
I must take the Holy Mother's
candles to church

204
00:31:53,096 --> 00:31:55,028
Early Mass?

205
00:31:55,028 --> 00:31:59,044
No, I overslept

206
00:31:59,044 --> 00:32:02,006
If Mass is past, there's no hurry

207
00:32:02,006 --> 00:32:07,008
And your mother meant you to
eat the food

208
00:32:07,008 --> 00:33:28,044
My brother says we can go to a
sunny glade, if you will honour us

209
00:33:28,044 --> 00:33:31,006
Blessed Jesus, God the Father's Son

210
00:33:31,006 --> 00:33:39,008
You are the living bread from
heaven come

211
00:33:39,008 --> 00:33:43,028
Make me worthy to receive this
bodily bread

212
00:33:43,028 --> 00:34:04,008
And save my soul when I am dead

213
00:34:04,008 --> 00:34:08,096
My brother wonders where
my lady lives

214
00:34:08,096 --> 00:34:12,008
East of the mountains,
west of the forests...

215
00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:18,012
...the battlements of my father's
castle reach to the sky

216
00:34:18,012 --> 00:34:21,012
Is my lady a king's daughter?

217
00:34:21,012 --> 00:34:24,052
Father's robes are of silk,
his helm is of gold...

218
00:34:24,052 --> 00:34:27,008
...and his lance flashes like gold
in the sun

219
00:34:27,008 --> 00:34:32,028
Mother has so many keys she cannot
wear them at her belt...

220
00:34:32,028 --> 00:34:37,012
...so a maid carries them
on a cushion

221
00:34:37,012 --> 00:34:42,012
And perhaps you three are princes
under a witch's spell...

222
00:34:42,012 --> 00:35:08,002
...and the goats are really bears
and wolves

223
00:35:08,002 --> 00:35:12,006
My brother says my lady has
such white hands

224
00:35:12,006 --> 00:35:22,096
Princesses do not launder
or make fires

225
00:35:22,096 --> 00:35:27,006
My brother says my lady has
such a white neck

226
00:35:27,006 --> 00:35:36,008
So that gold necklaces
will gleam brighter

227
00:35:36,008 --> 00:35:45,002
My brother says my lady has
such a slender waist

228
00:35:45,002 --> 00:35:49,012
You can cut this for us

229
00:35:49,012 --> 00:36:02,096
But perhaps you have no knife

230
00:36:02,096 --> 00:36:41,052
This is Simon of Snollsta's mark

231
00:36:41,052 --> 00:41:23,044
I am on my way to church
with the Virgin's candles

232
00:41:23,044 --> 00:43:34,088
Mind the goats until we get back,
or you know what to expect

233
00:43:34,088 --> 00:43:38,002
What do you want?

234
00:43:38,002 --> 00:43:44,068
The night is cold and the road
is long

235
00:43:44,068 --> 00:43:46,028
Where are you from?

236
00:43:46,028 --> 00:43:51,028
The north, from Vasternol

237
00:43:51,028 --> 00:43:53,036
How was the winter?

238
00:43:53,036 --> 00:43:57,036
Hard, with much sickness

239
00:43:57,036 --> 00:44:03,096
People are starving and the cattle
are too weak to stand

240
00:44:03,096 --> 00:44:11,036
Yes, I heard you had a cruel winter

241
00:44:11,036 --> 00:44:13,012
Where are you going?

242
00:44:13,012 --> 00:44:16,044
We'll look for work in the south

243
00:44:16,044 --> 00:45:12,008
You can sleep inside. There'll be
a frost tonight

244
00:45:12,008 --> 00:45:15,096
The master said we could come in

245
00:45:15,096 --> 00:45:47,012
Sit there till he comes

246
00:45:47,012 --> 00:45:55,044
Those shoes have seen some wear

247
00:45:55,044 --> 00:46:00,044
If a day begins well,
it will end in woe

248
00:46:00,044 --> 00:46:06,052
Seldom, if ever, was a morn
as promising as today

249
00:46:06,052 --> 00:46:13,096
The bright sun dispelled all the
misery of winter

250
00:46:13,096 --> 00:46:18,096
Legs felt like dancing

251
00:46:18,096 --> 00:46:23,008
But by dusk she lay dead

252
00:46:23,008 --> 00:47:50,028
The May Queen rode off on the sun,
but never returned

253
00:47:50,028 --> 00:47:56,012
Blessed Jesus, God the Father's Son

254
00:47:56,012 --> 00:47:59,028
You are the living bread
from heaven come

255
00:47:59,028 --> 00:48:03,036
Make me worthy to receive
this bodily bread

256
00:48:03,036 --> 00:49:31,052
And save my soul when I am dead

257
00:49:31,052 --> 00:49:34,002
Did you finish?

258
00:49:34,002 --> 00:49:37,008
All manured and ploughed

259
00:49:37,008 --> 00:49:49,002
Manure clay thick, manure sand thin

260
00:49:49,002 --> 00:49:51,068
Forgive my poor brother

261
00:49:51,068 --> 00:49:53,052
Is he often like this?

262
00:49:53,052 --> 00:49:56,008
Only if we've starved

263
00:49:56,008 --> 00:50:03,036
Rub his temples with salt and vinegar,
put a hot wooden lid on his stomach

264
00:50:03,036 --> 00:50:05,052
Our humble thanks...

265
00:50:05,052 --> 00:50:26,008
...but the less attention the better

266
00:50:26,008 --> 00:50:37,036
I may be able to give you work;
we can talk of it tomorrow

267
00:50:37,036 --> 00:51:28,008
Keep the fire going, the night
will be cold

268
00:51:28,008 --> 00:51:34,052
I hope you say your prayers,
even if no one reminds you

269
00:51:34,052 --> 00:51:37,096
Yes, you poor thing

270
00:51:37,096 --> 00:51:44,012
The Lord is more merciful
than you think

271
00:51:44,012 --> 00:52:45,012
Say your prayers, tonight and
every night

272
00:52:45,012 --> 00:52:51,006
See the smoke trembling
under the roof?

273
00:52:51,006 --> 00:52:55,008
As if it were terrified

274
00:52:55,008 --> 00:52:59,036
Yet when it gets outside...

275
00:52:59,036 --> 00:53:03,012
...it has the heavens to
swirl about in

276
00:53:03,012 --> 00:53:06,044
But it doesn't know that

277
00:53:06,044 --> 00:53:14,012
So it crouches beneath the roof
and trembles

278
00:53:14,012 --> 00:53:17,096
It's the same with people

279
00:53:17,096 --> 00:53:22,052
They quiver like a leaf
in a storm...

280
00:53:22,052 --> 00:53:32,004
...afraid of what they know
and what they don't know

281
00:53:32,004 --> 00:53:35,096
You are about to walk a narrow plank

282
00:53:35,096 --> 00:53:41,008
So narrow, you don't know
where to place your foot

283
00:53:41,008 --> 00:53:45,012
A river runs below you

284
00:53:45,012 --> 00:53:49,008
Its blackness wants to engulf you

285
00:53:49,008 --> 00:53:53,008
But you cross unharmed

286
00:53:53,008 --> 00:53:57,048
A chasm lies before you

287
00:53:57,048 --> 00:54:01,008
So deep, you can't see its depths

288
00:54:01,008 --> 00:54:10,012
Hands stretch out for you,
but they cannot reach you

289
00:54:10,012 --> 00:54:15,008
Finally, you stand before
a fearful mountain

290
00:54:15,008 --> 00:54:23,002
It belches flame, an abyss opens
at its foot

291
00:54:23,002 --> 00:54:27,036
All colours blaze there:
copper and iron...

292
00:54:27,036 --> 00:54:31,002
...blue vitriol and yellow suphur

293
00:54:31,002 --> 00:54:36,052
Flames dazzle and flash
and devour the rocks

294
00:54:36,052 --> 00:54:42,096
People leap and writhe,
people tiny as ants

295
00:54:42,096 --> 00:54:45,012
This furnace...

296
00:54:45,012 --> 00:54:53,036
...devours murderers and violators

297
00:54:53,036 --> 00:54:58,008
When you think you are lost,
a hand will grasp you

298
00:54:58,008 --> 00:55:05,008
An arm will embrace you and
you will be borne away...

299
00:55:05,008 --> 00:55:26,036
...to where evil can no longer
harm you

300
00:55:26,036 --> 00:55:37,002
If Karin is not home tonight, she
is sure to be home tomorrow

301
00:55:37,002 --> 00:55:40,008
Rest, Mareta

302
00:55:40,008 --> 00:55:46,008
How can you speak of rest?
That's all you have ever said

303
00:55:46,008 --> 00:55:51,036
What would have happened to us
if I had been like you...

304
00:55:51,036 --> 00:55:59,028
...never worried, never anxious,
never crying out to God?

305
00:55:59,028 --> 00:56:10,036
Open your hands

306
00:56:10,036 --> 00:56:12,096
I know you are worried about Karin

307
00:56:12,096 --> 00:56:17,008
I have no one but her

308
00:56:17,008 --> 00:56:21,008
She has stayed in the village
without permission before

309
00:56:21,008 --> 00:56:45,006
I have no one but her

310
00:56:45,006 --> 00:57:14,052
She is all I have

311
00:57:14,052 --> 00:57:35,004
They hit the boy

312
00:57:35,004 --> 00:57:38,012
I thought the boy screamed

313
00:57:38,012 --> 00:58:40,052
It was probably an owl;
we've heard it several times

314
00:58:40,052 --> 00:58:42,096
This silken shift...

315
00:58:42,096 --> 00:58:50,008
These other things, too, belonged
to our sister who died at Candlemas

316
00:58:50,008 --> 00:58:54,028
It is dear to us...

317
00:58:54,028 --> 00:59:01,028
...but we have no choice than
to offer it for sale

318
00:59:01,028 --> 00:59:06,006
We can see that you appreciate
beautiful things...

319
00:59:06,006 --> 00:59:16,036
...and this was our sister's
most treasured possession

320
00:59:16,036 --> 00:59:20,012
It is a bit worn and stained...

321
00:59:20,012 --> 00:59:30,006
...but the embroidery is surely
the work of nine maidens

322
00:59:30,006 --> 00:59:40,006
A deft hand like yours can
surely make it good

323
00:59:40,006 --> 00:59:44,002
I must ask my husband...

324
00:59:44,002 --> 00:59:55,008
...what would be a just price
for such a costly garment

325
00:59:55,008 --> 01:01:38,028
Now you must take your rest

326
01:01:38,028 --> 01:01:43,006
The herdsmen offered this for sale

327
01:01:43,006 --> 01:01:49,044
It is Karin's

328
01:01:49,044 --> 01:02:07,044
It is bloodstained

329
01:02:07,044 --> 01:02:10,012
What will you do?

330
01:02:10,012 --> 01:02:43,044
-First, bar the door
-it Is done

331
01:02:43,044 --> 01:02:56,008
You'll call our men?

332
01:02:56,008 --> 01:03:35,006
Be careful

333
01:03:35,006 --> 01:03:42,036
-Tell me what you know
-Kill me, rather

334
01:03:42,036 --> 01:03:47,004
My guilt is greater than theirs.
I wanted it

335
01:03:47,004 --> 01:03:52,008
Since I've been with child
I've hated her

336
01:03:52,008 --> 01:03:57,044
The day I prayed for it,
God Odin did it

337
01:03:57,044 --> 01:04:02,002
It was him and me, not the herdsmen

338
01:04:02,002 --> 01:04:10,012
They were possessed by him, they
flung themselves on her like devils

339
01:04:10,012 --> 01:04:12,036
They took her

340
01:04:12,036 --> 01:04:15,036
You saw it?

341
01:04:15,036 --> 01:04:24,012
I stood in the forest, I saw it
and I wanted it

342
01:04:24,012 --> 01:04:30,056
I had a stone to throw at them,
but I let it drop

343
01:04:30,056 --> 01:04:36,008
When it was over, they killed her
with a cudgel

344
01:04:36,008 --> 01:04:47,008
I saw that, too

345
01:04:47,008 --> 01:07:09,006
Heat the bath-house.
I'll fetch birch twigs

346
01:07:09,006 --> 01:16:33,006
Bring me the slaughtering knife

347
01:16:33,006 --> 01:17:12,052
God have mercy on me

348
01:17:12,052 --> 01:18:37,092
We must search for Karin

349
01:18:37,092 --> 01:18:42,008
I loved her more than God Himself

350
01:18:42,008 --> 01:18:49,006
Then she turned to you and I began to
hate you. The guilt is mine

351
01:18:49,006 --> 01:21:16,028
Not yours alone, Mareta.
Only God can judge

352
01:21:16,028 --> 01:21:23,008
You saw it. God, You saw it

353
01:21:23,008 --> 01:21:30,036
The innocent child's death
and my vengeance

354
01:21:30,036 --> 01:21:37,052
You permitted it

355
01:21:37,052 --> 01:21:44,008
I don't understand You

356
01:21:44,008 --> 01:21:57,036
I don't understand You

357
01:21:57,036 --> 01:22:04,052
Yet now I beg Your forgiveness

358
01:22:04,052 --> 01:22:11,006
I know no other way to reconcile
myself with my own hands

359
01:22:11,006 --> 01:22:25,002
I know no other way to live

360
01:22:25,002 --> 01:22:28,008
I promise You, God...

361
01:22:28,008 --> 01:22:35,028
...beside the body of my child
I promise You...

362
01:22:35,028 --> 01:22:40,008
...in penance for my sin
I shall build a church

363
01:22:40,008 --> 01:22:49,008
Here I shall build it,a church of stone

364
01:22:49,008 --> 99:59:59,999
With these my hands
