The Final Witness

JUDGE:
never have I heard such a pitiful case
the law demands dignity, never disgrace
I have heard all you've said, every lie, every grudge
on the word of one man there is no case to judge
USHER:
please, your honour
if I may...
there's a man, won't go away
travelled far and wants a word
claims his story should be heard
JUDGE:
what's his name?
USHER:
he won't say
JUDGE:
let him in...
Your name. State your name.
MARTIN:
My name is Guerre. Martin Guerre.
JUDGE:
Bertrande, you've listened to these men
we need the truth, the time has come
PIERRE:
I knew the truth, I knew my blood
GUILLAUME:
the truth is all she needs me
BERTRANDE (to Arnaud):
if you have lied to me...
have you lied to me?
no, you would not lie
MADAME DE ROLS:
he's lied to us all, Bertrande
THE WHOLE VILLAGE:
we need the truth, we need it now
BERTRANDE:
the truth is not enough
the truth does not explain
the truth... what's the truth?
MADAME DE ROLS:
my little girl...
JUDGE:
tell us Bertrande
THE WHOLE VILLAGE:
tell us the truth...
ARNAUD:
I am Arnaud du Thil.
