Zar. Come!
Vasil. You must yield something too, Adrian. Step back to the law of Moses for vantage if you can leap to Christ with the world in your arms.
Zar. You have broken your oath!
Vasil. I have not. I will tell you.
Zar. Speak then. Who are your confederates?
Vasil. There is but one.
Zar. Who? Where is he?
Vasil. He is here—in this room—he is in every prison in Russia—he is in every heart that knows the meaning of love—but if you want to arrest him [stepping back into the sunlight and pointing upward] you must go up there, for he is God.
Zar. That for your blasphemy! [Strikes Vasil on the mouth with his sword] Off with him!
