THE VIRGIN SPRING

00:00:19.008 --> 00:01:02.012
Scenario by Ulla Isaksson
based on a medieval legend

00:01:02.012 --> 00:02:53.012
Directed by Ingmar Bergman

00:02:53.012 --> 00:03:17.012
God Odin, come!

00:03:17.012 --> 00:03:20.012
I seek your service

00:03:20.012 --> 00:03:25.012
God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
with Your angel host

00:03:25.012 --> 00:03:30.012
Protect us this day from
the devil's snares

00:03:30.012 --> 00:03:44.012
Save us from sin and shame and harm

00:03:44.012 --> 00:04:09.008
It is Friday, the day of
Our Lord's Passion

00:04:09.008 --> 00:04:16.052
Lord, I almost trod on them
in the gloom

00:04:16.052 --> 00:04:22.052
Poor mite, live out your
miserable life...

00:04:22.052 --> 00:04:34.012
...as surely as God allows us all
to live

00:04:34.012 --> 00:04:42.006
Where have you been all night?

00:04:42.006 --> 00:04:51.002
You could help with the milking,
but you don't care if my legs ache

00:04:51.002 --> 00:04:54.008
Jesus-Maria! What a look!
What is it?

00:04:54.008 --> 00:05:00.036
Nothing but the old story:
bastards beget bastards

00:05:00.036 --> 00:05:04.002
Serves you right, Ingeri,
the way you behave

00:05:04.002 --> 00:05:07.036
You spit like a wildcat

00:05:07.036 --> 00:05:13.036
You should thank God for His mercy
in allowing you to live here...

00:05:13.036 --> 00:05:18.012
...even though you act like
an animal

00:05:18.012 --> 00:05:59.012
The milk is still on the porch

00:05:59.012 --> 00:06:01.096
You must ride to church
with the Virgin's candles

00:06:01.096 --> 00:06:06.028
Isn't Karin going to take them?

00:06:06.028 --> 00:06:08.012
She is unwell

00:06:08.012 --> 00:06:12.004
She'll be better when it's
too late for early Mass

00:06:12.004 --> 00:06:15.028
I think she has a fever

00:06:15.028 --> 00:06:19.008
Last night she danced
feverishly enough

00:06:19.008 --> 00:06:26.076
You're no more like your stepsister
than a thorn is like a rose!

00:06:26.076 --> 00:06:29.096
You still act like a wildcat...

00:06:29.096 --> 00:07:26.044
...even now, when we ought to
turn you out

00:07:26.044 --> 00:07:34.008
Lord, bless our daily bread

00:07:34.008 --> 00:07:39.044
Isn't Karin taking the Virgin's
candles to Mass?

00:07:39.044 --> 00:07:42.028
Karin is unwell

00:07:42.028 --> 00:07:46.052
She's a lazybones. She was
well enough to dance

00:07:46.052 --> 00:07:49.012
Today she is unwell

00:07:49.012 --> 00:07:52.052
Too ill to ride to church?

00:07:52.052 --> 00:07:55.028
Frida will take the candles

00:07:55.028 --> 00:07:58.096
But a maiden must take
the Virgin's candles

00:07:58.096 --> 00:08:02.096
You are always so strict with Karin

00:08:02.096 --> 00:08:08.006
You are always so easygoing with her

00:08:08.006 --> 00:08:11.008
She is the only child I have left

00:08:11.008 --> 00:08:15.004
So she should be brought up well

00:08:15.004 --> 00:08:21.052
I had evil dreams last night

00:08:21.052 --> 00:08:27.002
You mortify your flesh too much

00:08:27.002 --> 00:08:29.096
Send Ingeri to wake Karen

00:08:29.096 --> 00:08:34.008
I'll go myself

00:08:34.008 --> 00:08:38.008
Go and rouse the sluggard

00:08:38.008 --> 00:10:52.052
Ingeri, prepare Karin's food for
the journey: bread, cheese and meat

00:10:52.052 --> 00:10:59.036
-Are you ill?
-No, only sleepy

00:10:59.036 --> 00:11:02.036
May I have breakfast in bed?

00:11:02.036 --> 00:11:09.006
Father says you must take the
Virgin's candles to church

00:11:09.006 --> 00:11:13.012
-lf you are ill, Frida will go
-I'm not ill

00:11:13.012 --> 00:11:15.052
Then you must go

00:11:15.052 --> 00:11:20.012
-lf I can wear my silk shift
-On a week day?

00:11:20.012 --> 00:11:22.008
Then I won't go

00:11:22.008 --> 00:11:29.096
You're behaving childishly

00:11:29.096 --> 00:11:33.008
If I had answered my parents
in that tone...

00:11:33.008 --> 00:11:37.028
...I'd have been birched and
made to fast

00:11:37.028 --> 00:11:44.004
Birch me and starve me, then.
Give me berries instead of bread

00:11:44.004 --> 00:11:48.036
You know I can't be strict with you,
though I should be

00:11:48.036 --> 00:11:54.012
You're laughing now, but I warn you:
father is angry

00:11:54.012 --> 00:11:59.012
Get my yellow shift, my Sunday
skirts and my blue cloak

00:11:59.012 --> 00:12:04.002
Then I'll be happy, you'll be
happy and father will be happy

00:12:04.002 --> 00:12:07.006
How demurely I'll ride to church

00:12:07.006 --> 00:12:12.028
And Tawny's hooves will trot as
though on a pilgrimage...

00:12:12.028 --> 00:12:17.006
...and I shall look neither left nor
right, but straight ahead...

00:12:17.006 --> 00:12:28.006
...and think of the candles
and the Holy Virgin

00:12:28.006 --> 00:12:30.052
White stockings...

00:12:30.052 --> 00:12:52.036
...and the blue shoes with pearls

00:12:52.036 --> 00:12:57.036
This is no ordinary shift

00:12:57.036 --> 00:13:14.044
Fifteen maidens stitched it

00:13:14.044 --> 00:13:23.008
Fifteen all at once?

00:13:23.008 --> 00:13:47.096
Sit down so that I can comb you

00:13:47.096 --> 00:13:53.006
No, I want it loose, to go with
my fine clothes

00:13:53.006 --> 00:13:57.096
If you always get your way,
you'll please the devil so much...

00:13:57.096 --> 00:14:01.002
...the saints will punish you
with toothache

00:14:01.002 --> 00:14:06.002
Why do you talk so much of the devil?
Father never does

00:14:06.002 --> 00:14:10.002
Because the devil is the seducer
of the innocent

00:14:10.002 --> 00:14:14.044
He strives to destroy all goodness

00:14:14.044 --> 00:14:19.012
But I always say my prayers

00:14:19.012 --> 00:14:23.012
Who did you dance with last night?

00:14:23.012 --> 00:14:30.044
I danced with him... and him...
and him

00:14:30.044 --> 00:14:35.012
-Why do you ask?
-I had such evil dreams

00:14:35.012 --> 00:14:40.006
What did you dream?

00:14:40.006 --> 00:14:47.044
How I'd love to dream
big, wonderful dreams

00:14:47.044 --> 00:14:53.012
But I never do

00:14:53.012 --> 00:15:23.008
Now the skirts: the blue and the red
with golden threads

00:15:23.008 --> 00:15:29.028
Tighter, or it won't puff out
as it should

00:15:29.028 --> 00:15:31.028
What about the clasp?

00:15:31.028 --> 00:15:39.012
Save that for Sunday,
you've gone far enough

00:15:39.012 --> 00:15:42.052
You're in my light

00:15:42.052 --> 00:15:49.006
"It's father; he's angry"

00:15:49.006 --> 00:15:55.044
Didn't mother say you were ill?

00:15:55.044 --> 00:16:00.008
Do you think I look pale
and wasted?

00:16:00.008 --> 00:16:03.096
Is it right to sleep after sunrise?

00:16:03.096 --> 00:16:11.012
I'll ask Father Erik's forgiveness
for not attending early Mass

00:16:11.012 --> 00:16:16.008
I'll tell him that all of you
are ill and no one woke me...

00:16:16.008 --> 00:16:28.044
...the candles were not ready
and Tawny was not shod

00:16:28.044 --> 00:16:33.052
I'll ride to the mountains
with this wicked maid...

00:16:33.052 --> 00:16:38.052
...and say I don't want such
a daughter

00:16:38.052 --> 00:16:42.028
Imprison her in the mountain
for seven years

00:16:42.028 --> 00:16:51.096
When she is chastened,
I'll take her back

00:16:51.096 --> 00:16:59.008
"Let Ingeri come with me;
she never leaves the farm now"

00:16:59.008 --> 00:17:04.006
It's a pity the church is
so far away

00:17:04.006 --> 00:17:09.044
The likes of you need a confessional
closer to hand

00:17:09.044 --> 00:17:13.008
You can't talk! You fled your town
in fear for your life

00:17:13.008 --> 00:17:16.096
"I know all about you, "learned man"

00:17:16.096 --> 00:17:22.012
"A bird on the wing finds food;
a bird on the roost dies"

00:17:22.012 --> 00:17:25.012
I have seen women and churches

00:17:25.012 --> 00:17:27.012
How were the churches?

00:17:27.012 --> 00:17:33.096
As high as heaven - and built
of stone, not wood

00:17:33.096 --> 00:17:38.096
With windows the colours of
the rainbow

00:17:38.096 --> 00:17:46.006
You may come, too, Ingeri

00:17:46.006 --> 00:17:51.096
Hurry, or you won't get to church
before nightfall

00:17:51.096 --> 00:17:55.008
Hurry, Ingeri

00:17:55.008 --> 00:17:57.096
Drink some mulled ale

00:17:57.096 --> 00:18:00.044
It's a long journey

00:18:00.044 --> 00:18:03.096
Give it to Ingeri, she's coming, too

00:18:03.096 --> 00:18:09.008
-Who said so?
-Father

00:18:09.008 --> 00:18:23.008
Won't you kiss me good-bye?

00:18:23.008 --> 00:18:34.008
The Lord Christ bless
your young life

00:18:34.008 --> 00:18:41.008
Take this cheese and these candles
to the priest for me

00:18:41.008 --> 00:18:46.008
Don't forget to give Father Erik
my message... you know it

00:18:46.008 --> 00:19:30.002
He's to say five paternosters
and fifteen Hail Marys

00:19:30.002 --> 00:19:34.008
I know an orchard sweet and fair

00:19:34.008 --> 00:19:39.036
A maiden with virtues so true

00:19:39.036 --> 00:19:44.012
Shining like spun gold her hair

00:19:44.012 --> 00:19:49.036
Her eyes like the heavens blue

00:19:49.036 --> 00:19:53.044
Happily the streams meander

00:19:53.044 --> 00:19:58.012
Through valleys green they wander

00:19:58.012 --> 00:20:45.002
In the springtime

00:20:45.002 --> 00:20:48.096
The little bird soars up so high

00:20:48.096 --> 00:20:52.008
Glides softly on the breeze

00:20:52.008 --> 00:20:57.002
How sweet it would be to fly

00:20:57.002 --> 00:21:00.096
Floating o'er mountains and trees

00:21:00.096 --> 00:21:04.028
Happily the streams meander

00:21:04.028 --> 00:21:07.096
Through valleys green they wander

00:21:07.096 --> 00:21:30.044
In the springtime

00:21:30.044 --> 00:21:35.044
-Is the child paining you?
-One day you'll know how it is

00:21:35.044 --> 00:21:39.008
I'll be mistress of a house and
married with honour

00:21:39.008 --> 00:21:44.044
We'll see how your honour is, when
a man starts fumbling you

00:21:44.044 --> 00:21:47.008
No man will bed me without marriage

00:21:47.008 --> 00:21:51.036
And if one tumbles you behind
a bush at night?

00:21:51.036 --> 00:21:54.016
I'll struggle free

00:21:54.016 --> 00:22:08.002
But he is stronger

00:22:08.002 --> 00:22:12.096
It's better to brighten the road
than languish in church

00:22:12.096 --> 00:22:15.012
I'm taking the candles

00:22:15.012 --> 00:22:20.006
So you've put your best on
in honour of the Virgin

00:22:20.006 --> 00:22:23.008
Not for you

00:22:23.008 --> 00:22:27.036
Don't think I wear them to
please you

00:22:27.036 --> 00:22:31.072
-Thank you for last night, Karin
-Why Thank me?

00:22:31.072 --> 00:22:46.012
You've nothing to thank me for

00:22:46.012 --> 00:22:50.036
-What is it, Ingeri?
-I saw you with him last night

00:22:50.036 --> 00:22:55.052
I wanted him to find a way out
for you and the child

00:22:55.052 --> 00:23:04.006
And he said he'd help, if you
lay in the hay with him

00:23:04.006 --> 00:23:08.096
You danced with him and took
his hand

00:23:08.096 --> 00:23:15.002
I danced with all who gave me
their hand

00:23:15.002 --> 00:23:17.008
Forgive me

00:23:17.008 --> 00:24:19.028
Don't ask my forgiveness

00:24:19.028 --> 00:24:22.096
-Let's turn back
-But we're going to church

00:24:22.096 --> 00:24:25.012
I can take the candles

00:24:25.012 --> 00:24:27.096
Father and mother wouldn't
like that

00:24:27.096 --> 00:24:32.008
"The forest is so black; I can't go on"

00:24:32.008 --> 00:24:38.012
Don't cry so, you might harm
the child

00:24:38.012 --> 00:24:40.006
Afraid of the forest?

00:24:40.006 --> 00:24:43.008
Not I. I'm riding to church

00:24:43.008 --> 00:24:47.036
May she rest here until I return?

00:24:47.036 --> 00:24:52.096
This is enough for you both

00:24:52.096 --> 00:25:07.036
Did you think I'd slap you again?

00:25:07.036 --> 00:25:10.096
In labour?

00:25:10.096 --> 00:25:16.052
Worse than that

00:25:16.052 --> 00:25:54.012
Come, I can help

00:25:54.012 --> 00:26:10.008
Sit down. It's long since anyone
sat here with me

00:26:10.008 --> 00:26:18.008
-What Is your name?
-These days I have no name

00:26:18.008 --> 00:26:25.036
This is a forlorn place.
Have you no neighbours?

00:26:25.036 --> 00:26:30.028
I hear what I will and I see
what I will

00:26:30.028 --> 00:26:34.006
I hear what mankind whispers
in secret...

00:26:34.006 --> 00:26:38.044
...and I see what it believes
no one can see

00:26:38.044 --> 00:26:47.012
You can hear for yourself,
if you do as I do

00:26:47.012 --> 00:26:50.012
What thunders outside?

00:26:50.012 --> 00:27:01.008
Three dead men ride north

00:27:01.008 --> 00:27:22.004
It's long since a woman
made my seat narrow

00:27:22.004 --> 00:27:30.028
Here is a cure for your suffering

00:27:30.028 --> 00:27:38.052
Here is a cure for your woe

00:27:38.052 --> 00:27:47.002
Blood, cease to flow

00:27:47.002 --> 00:27:53.002
Fish, high and dry

00:27:53.002 --> 00:28:01.008
Eagle, fall from the sky

00:28:01.008 --> 00:28:10.052
Here is the power

00:28:10.052 --> 00:28:17.096
You have made a human sacrifice -
a sacrifice to Odin

00:28:17.096 --> 00:28:21.006
I recognized you at once

00:28:21.006 --> 00:28:26.028
I recognized you by your eyes,
your mouth, your hands

00:28:26.028 --> 00:28:30.096
"But you are afraid; you must not be"

00:28:30.096 --> 00:31:05.036
I shall give you strength

00:31:05.036 --> 00:31:07.002
That's a funny thing

00:31:07.002 --> 00:31:18.008
My father's - who got it from
his father's father

00:31:18.008 --> 00:31:20.006
Who are you?

00:31:20.006 --> 00:31:25.036
Three brothers, orphaned all too soon

00:31:25.036 --> 00:31:27.012
Who cares for you?

00:31:27.012 --> 00:31:31.044
We're goatherds, we live on roots
in the forest

00:31:31.044 --> 00:31:37.002
Mother gave me food for the journey

00:31:37.002 --> 00:31:43.028
-Is he dumb?
-Wicked men cut out his tongue

00:31:43.028 --> 00:31:50.052
He says we can only accept the food
if you share it with us

00:31:50.052 --> 00:31:53.096
I must take the Holy Mother's
candles to church

00:31:53.096 --> 00:31:55.028
Early Mass?

00:31:55.028 --> 00:31:59.044
No, I overslept

00:31:59.044 --> 00:32:02.006
If Mass is past, there's no hurry

00:32:02.006 --> 00:32:07.008
And your mother meant you to
eat the food

00:32:07.008 --> 00:33:28.044
My brother says we can go to a
sunny glade, if you will honour us

00:33:28.044 --> 00:33:31.006
Blessed Jesus, God the Father's Son

00:33:31.006 --> 00:33:39.008
You are the living bread from
heaven come

00:33:39.008 --> 00:33:43.028
Make me worthy to receive this
bodily bread

00:33:43.028 --> 00:34:04.008
And save my soul when I am dead

00:34:04.008 --> 00:34:08.096
My brother wonders where
my lady lives

00:34:08.096 --> 00:34:12.008
East of the mountains,
west of the forests...

00:34:12.008 --> 00:34:18.012
...the battlements of my father's
castle reach to the sky

00:34:18.012 --> 00:34:21.012
Is my lady a king's daughter?

00:34:21.012 --> 00:34:24.052
Father's robes are of silk,
his helm is of gold...

00:34:24.052 --> 00:34:27.008
...and his lance flashes like gold
in the sun

00:34:27.008 --> 00:34:32.028
Mother has so many keys she cannot
wear them at her belt...

00:34:32.028 --> 00:34:37.012
...so a maid carries them
on a cushion

00:34:37.012 --> 00:34:42.012
And perhaps you three are princes
under a witch's spell...

00:34:42.012 --> 00:35:08.002
...and the goats are really bears
and wolves

00:35:08.002 --> 00:35:12.006
My brother says my lady has
such white hands

00:35:12.006 --> 00:35:22.096
Princesses do not launder
or make fires

00:35:22.096 --> 00:35:27.006
My brother says my lady has
such a white neck

00:35:27.006 --> 00:35:36.008
So that gold necklaces
will gleam brighter

00:35:36.008 --> 00:35:45.002
My brother says my lady has
such a slender waist

00:35:45.002 --> 00:35:49.012
You can cut this for us

00:35:49.012 --> 00:36:02.096
But perhaps you have no knife

00:36:02.096 --> 00:36:41.052
This is Simon of Snollsta's mark

00:36:41.052 --> 00:41:23.044
I am on my way to church
with the Virgin's candles

00:41:23.044 --> 00:43:34.088
Mind the goats until we get back,
or you know what to expect

00:43:34.088 --> 00:43:38.002
What do you want?

00:43:38.002 --> 00:43:44.068
The night is cold and the road
is long

00:43:44.068 --> 00:43:46.028
Where are you from?

00:43:46.028 --> 00:43:51.028
The north, from Vasternol

00:43:51.028 --> 00:43:53.036
How was the winter?

00:43:53.036 --> 00:43:57.036
Hard, with much sickness

00:43:57.036 --> 00:44:03.096
People are starving and the cattle
are too weak to stand

00:44:03.096 --> 00:44:11.036
Yes, I heard you had a cruel winter

00:44:11.036 --> 00:44:13.012
Where are you going?

00:44:13.012 --> 00:44:16.044
We'll look for work in the south

00:44:16.044 --> 00:45:12.008
You can sleep inside. There'll be
a frost tonight

00:45:12.008 --> 00:45:15.096
The master said we could come in

00:45:15.096 --> 00:45:47.012
Sit there till he comes

00:45:47.012 --> 00:45:55.044
Those shoes have seen some wear

00:45:55.044 --> 00:46:00.044
If a day begins well,
it will end in woe

00:46:00.044 --> 00:46:06.052
Seldom, if ever, was a morn
as promising as today

00:46:06.052 --> 00:46:13.096
The bright sun dispelled all the
misery of winter

00:46:13.096 --> 00:46:18.096
Legs felt like dancing

00:46:18.096 --> 00:46:23.008
But by dusk she lay dead

00:46:23.008 --> 00:47:50.028
The May Queen rode off on the sun,
but never returned

00:47:50.028 --> 00:47:56.012
Blessed Jesus, God the Father's Son

00:47:56.012 --> 00:47:59.028
You are the living bread
from heaven come

00:47:59.028 --> 00:48:03.036
Make me worthy to receive
this bodily bread

00:48:03.036 --> 00:49:31.052
And save my soul when I am dead

00:49:31.052 --> 00:49:34.002
Did you finish?

00:49:34.002 --> 00:49:37.008
All manured and ploughed

00:49:37.008 --> 00:49:49.002
Manure clay thick, manure sand thin

00:49:49.002 --> 00:49:51.068
Forgive my poor brother

00:49:51.068 --> 00:49:53.052
Is he often like this?

00:49:53.052 --> 00:49:56.008
Only if we've starved

00:49:56.008 --> 00:50:03.036
Rub his temples with salt and vinegar,
put a hot wooden lid on his stomach

00:50:03.036 --> 00:50:05.052
Our humble thanks...

00:50:05.052 --> 00:50:26.008
...but the less attention the better

00:50:26.008 --> 00:50:37.036
I may be able to give you work;
we can talk of it tomorrow

00:50:37.036 --> 00:51:28.008
Keep the fire going, the night
will be cold

00:51:28.008 --> 00:51:34.052
I hope you say your prayers,
even if no one reminds you

00:51:34.052 --> 00:51:37.096
Yes, you poor thing

00:51:37.096 --> 00:51:44.012
The Lord is more merciful
than you think

00:51:44.012 --> 00:52:45.012
Say your prayers, tonight and
every night

00:52:45.012 --> 00:52:51.006
See the smoke trembling
under the roof?

00:52:51.006 --> 00:52:55.008
As if it were terrified

00:52:55.008 --> 00:52:59.036
Yet when it gets outside...

00:52:59.036 --> 00:53:03.012
...it has the heavens to
swirl about in

00:53:03.012 --> 00:53:06.044
But it doesn't know that

00:53:06.044 --> 00:53:14.012
So it crouches beneath the roof
and trembles

00:53:14.012 --> 00:53:17.096
It's the same with people

00:53:17.096 --> 00:53:22.052
They quiver like a leaf
in a storm...

00:53:22.052 --> 00:53:32.004
...afraid of what they know
and what they don't know

00:53:32.004 --> 00:53:35.096
You are about to walk a narrow plank

00:53:35.096 --> 00:53:41.008
So narrow, you don't know
where to place your foot

00:53:41.008 --> 00:53:45.012
A river runs below you

00:53:45.012 --> 00:53:49.008
Its blackness wants to engulf you

00:53:49.008 --> 00:53:53.008
But you cross unharmed

00:53:53.008 --> 00:53:57.048
A chasm lies before you

00:53:57.048 --> 00:54:01.008
So deep, you can't see its depths

00:54:01.008 --> 00:54:10.012
Hands stretch out for you,
but they cannot reach you

00:54:10.012 --> 00:54:15.008
Finally, you stand before
a fearful mountain

00:54:15.008 --> 00:54:23.002
It belches flame, an abyss opens
at its foot

00:54:23.002 --> 00:54:27.036
All colours blaze there:
copper and iron...

00:54:27.036 --> 00:54:31.002
...blue vitriol and yellow suphur

00:54:31.002 --> 00:54:36.052
Flames dazzle and flash
and devour the rocks

00:54:36.052 --> 00:54:42.096
People leap and writhe,
people tiny as ants

00:54:42.096 --> 00:54:45.012
This furnace...

00:54:45.012 --> 00:54:53.036
...devours murderers and violators

00:54:53.036 --> 00:54:58.008
When you think you are lost,
a hand will grasp you

00:54:58.008 --> 00:55:05.008
An arm will embrace you and
you will be borne away...

00:55:05.008 --> 00:55:26.036
...to where evil can no longer
harm you

00:55:26.036 --> 00:55:37.002
If Karin is not home tonight, she
is sure to be home tomorrow

00:55:37.002 --> 00:55:40.008
Rest, Mareta

00:55:40.008 --> 00:55:46.008
How can you speak of rest?
That's all you have ever said

00:55:46.008 --> 00:55:51.036
What would have happened to us
if I had been like you...

00:55:51.036 --> 00:55:59.028
...never worried, never anxious,
never crying out to God?

00:55:59.028 --> 00:56:10.036
Open your hands

00:56:10.036 --> 00:56:12.096
I know you are worried about Karin

00:56:12.096 --> 00:56:17.008
I have no one but her

00:56:17.008 --> 00:56:21.008
She has stayed in the village
without permission before

00:56:21.008 --> 00:56:45.006
I have no one but her

00:56:45.006 --> 00:57:14.052
She is all I have

00:57:14.052 --> 00:57:35.004
They hit the boy

00:57:35.004 --> 00:57:38.012
I thought the boy screamed

00:57:38.012 --> 00:58:40.052
It was probably an owl;
we've heard it several times

00:58:40.052 --> 00:58:42.096
This silken shift...

00:58:42.096 --> 00:58:50.008
These other things, too, belonged
to our sister who died at Candlemas

00:58:50.008 --> 00:58:54.028
It is dear to us...

00:58:54.028 --> 00:59:01.028
...but we have no choice than
to offer it for sale

00:59:01.028 --> 00:59:06.006
We can see that you appreciate
beautiful things...

00:59:06.006 --> 00:59:16.036
...and this was our sister's
most treasured possession

00:59:16.036 --> 00:59:20.012
It is a bit worn and stained...

00:59:20.012 --> 00:59:30.006
...but the embroidery is surely
the work of nine maidens

00:59:30.006 --> 00:59:40.006
A deft hand like yours can
surely make it good

00:59:40.006 --> 00:59:44.002
I must ask my husband...

00:59:44.002 --> 00:59:55.008
...what would be a just price
for such a costly garment

00:59:55.008 --> 01:01:38.028
Now you must take your rest

01:01:38.028 --> 01:01:43.006
The herdsmen offered this for sale

01:01:43.006 --> 01:01:49.044
It is Karin's

01:01:49.044 --> 01:02:07.044
It is bloodstained

01:02:07.044 --> 01:02:10.012
What will you do?

01:02:10.012 --> 01:02:43.044
-First, bar the door
-it Is done

01:02:43.044 --> 01:02:56.008
You'll call our men?

01:02:56.008 --> 01:03:35.006
Be careful

01:03:35.006 --> 01:03:42.036
-Tell me what you know
-Kill me, rather

01:03:42.036 --> 01:03:47.004
My guilt is greater than theirs.
I wanted it

01:03:47.004 --> 01:03:52.008
Since I've been with child
I've hated her

01:03:52.008 --> 01:03:57.044
The day I prayed for it,
God Odin did it

01:03:57.044 --> 01:04:02.002
It was him and me, not the herdsmen

01:04:02.002 --> 01:04:10.012
They were possessed by him, they
flung themselves on her like devils

01:04:10.012 --> 01:04:12.036
They took her

01:04:12.036 --> 01:04:15.036
You saw it?

01:04:15.036 --> 01:04:24.012
I stood in the forest, I saw it
and I wanted it

01:04:24.012 --> 01:04:30.056
I had a stone to throw at them,
but I let it drop

01:04:30.056 --> 01:04:36.008
When it was over, they killed her
with a cudgel

01:04:36.008 --> 01:04:47.008
I saw that, too

01:04:47.008 --> 01:07:09.006
Heat the bath-house.
I'll fetch birch twigs

01:07:09.006 --> 01:16:33.006
Bring me the slaughtering knife

01:16:33.006 --> 01:17:12.052
God have mercy on me

01:17:12.052 --> 01:18:37.092
We must search for Karin

01:18:37.092 --> 01:18:42.008
I loved her more than God Himself

01:18:42.008 --> 01:18:49.006
Then she turned to you and I began to
hate you. The guilt is mine

01:18:49.006 --> 01:21:16.028
Not yours alone, Mareta.
Only God can judge

01:21:16.028 --> 01:21:23.008
You saw it. God, You saw it

01:21:23.008 --> 01:21:30.036
The innocent child's death
and my vengeance

01:21:30.036 --> 01:21:37.052
You permitted it

01:21:37.052 --> 01:21:44.008
I don't understand You

01:21:44.008 --> 01:21:57.036
I don't understand You

01:21:57.036 --> 01:22:04.052
Yet now I beg Your forgiveness

01:22:04.052 --> 01:22:11.006
I know no other way to reconcile
myself with my own hands

01:22:11.006 --> 01:22:25.002
I know no other way to live

01:22:25.002 --> 01:22:28.008
I promise You, God...

01:22:28.008 --> 01:22:35.028
...beside the body of my child
I promise You...

01:22:35.028 --> 01:22:40.008
...in penance for my sin
I shall build a church

01:22:40.008 --> 01:22:49.008
Here I shall build it,a church of stone

01:22:49.008 --> 99:59:59.999
With these my hands
