Genre: Drama
Rating: NOT RATED
Runtime: 91 minutes
The Cardinal:
They want me to take my own life, so they can say I committed the last cowardice of all. I shan't do that, you know.
The Interrogator:
No, I didn't think you would.
The Cardinal:
No. I might live for twenty... thirty years. Yes, it's one thing I'd never thought of. It's more terrible than anything I could have thought of.
The Interrogator:
[draws a pistol] I could pretend to call to the warder for help, as I fire. You want to pray?
The Cardinal:
You'll do it?
The Interrogator:
Do you want to pray?
The Cardinal:
[kneels and prays in agony for a few moments] No, I can't ask you to commit murder. You offer me escape...
The Interrogator:
And I thought of you as an animal, to be put out of its pain. Do you want to face the world outside?
The Cardinal:
No. But I must.
The Interrogator:
So the laugh is on me. You go out of my hands a stronger man than when you came to me.
