00:30I cannot proceed without some inquiry as to what has been said.
00:52I'm in a condition to prove my allegation.
00:55An insuperable impediment to this marriage exists.
01:00Please explain sir.
01:02It consists in the existence of a previous marriage.
01:06Mr Rochester has a wife now living.
01:25Who are you?
01:27My name is Briggs.
01:28I am a solicitor of Grey's Inn London.
01:32And you would thrust on me a wife?
01:37I affirm and can prove that on the 20th of October 1820
01:42Edward Fairfax Rochester of Thornfield Hall
01:45was married to my sister Bertha Antoinette Mason
01:49daughter of Jonas Mason merchant
01:51and of Antoinette Mason his wife
01:54a Creole at St. Michael's Church Spanish Town Jamaica.
01:58A record of the marriage will be found in the register of the church.
02:02A copy is appended to this statement signed Richard Mason.
02:09That if a genuine document may prove I have been married
02:19it does not prove the woman therein mentioned as my wife
02:24is still living.
02:27She was living three months ago.
02:30How do you know?
02:32I have a witness to the fact
02:34whose testimony even you sir will scarcely controvert.
02:39Produce him or go to hell.
02:42What is the goodness to step forward sir?
02:55What have you to say?
02:58Edward please understand.
03:00I again demand what in the devil's name
03:06have you to say?
03:08Mr. Rochester do not forget you are in a sacred place.
03:13Sir Mr. Rochester may have been married
03:18but are you quite sure that his wife is still living?
03:22She is in Thornfield Hall.
03:25Impossible I've served this parish for many years.
03:29I've never heard of a Mrs. Rochester at Thornfield Hall.
03:38Oh by God I took care none should hear of it
03:46or of her under that name.
03:54Wood close your book.
03:56Take off your service.
03:57Don Green leave the church.
03:58There will be no wedding today.
04:01Come all of you.
04:03Follow me.
04:38Good morning Mrs. Poole.
05:01And how is your charge today?
05:03Oh a tolerable today sir.
05:10Right gentlemen there you see my lawful wedded wife
05:41Look at her.
05:45Look at her!
05:53And this is what I wished to have.
05:57This young girl who stands so grave and quiet
06:01at the mouth of hell.
06:06Bigam is an ugly word.
06:08I meant to be a bigamist.
06:12With fate as it maneuvered me or providence checked me.
06:16Amen.
06:17Aye.
06:18Amen!
06:21Bertha Mason is mad.
06:24She comes of a mad family, idiots and maniacs
06:27through three generations.
06:29Her own mother among them.
06:31As I found out after I had wed the daughter
06:35for the whole family was silent upon the secret before.
06:40Including her brother my friend Richard Mason.
06:47Eh Richard?
06:52Never fear I'd soon strike a woman as you.
06:59Now judge whether I had a right to break the compact
07:01and seek sympathy with a human being.
07:05This girl knew no more than you.
07:08She thought all was fair and legal.
07:19She never dreamt she was going to be trapped
07:21into a feigned union with a defrauded wretch.
07:28Now judge me.
07:31Remember with what judgment ye judge ye shall be judged.
07:37Off with you now.
07:39I must attend to my wife.
07:42Oh!
07:58Madam.
08:04Madam.
08:05You are of course cleared from all the blame.
08:10Your uncle, if indeed he should still be living,
08:14will be glad to hear of it.
08:17My uncle?
08:21What do you know of my uncle?
08:23Mr John Eyre with whom you lately and for the first time
08:28entered into communication.
08:31You wrote to him of your intended union with Mr Rochester.
08:35What of it?
08:38How do you know Mr Eyre?
08:40Mr Mason is acquainted with Mr Eyre
08:44and happened to stop off at Madeira to recruit his health.
08:48He called on him and Mr Eyre spoke of you
08:50and your forthcoming marriage to a Mr Rochester of Thornfield.
08:57Mr Mason in great distress revealed the true state of matters.
09:05You know your uncle is confined to a sick bed.
09:10No he never wrote of it.
09:15Alas he is unlikely ever to rise from it.
09:19He was much alarmed and implored Mr Mason to hasten back to England
09:23to save you from the snare into which you had fallen
09:27referring him to me for assistance.
09:32I am thankful that I was not too late.
09:37As doubtless you must be also.
09:40That is all sir.
09:45I am certain your uncle will be dead before you could go to him at Madeira.
09:50I think you'd better remain in England until you hear from Mr Eyre.
09:56Or from me.
10:59So you've come out at last.
11:12I've been waiting for you long enough.
11:27So you've shunned me.
11:31You shut yourself up and grieve alone.
11:38And rather you'd upbraided me with vehemence.
11:44Impassionate I expected a scene.
11:48I was prepared for the hot rain of tears.
11:54But I wanted them on my breast.
12:01I was wrong.
12:04You've not wept at all.
12:10Well Jane?
12:14Not a word of reproach?
12:19Nothing bitter?
12:21Nothing poignant?
12:22Oh Jane.
12:23I never meant to wound you thus.
12:29Would you forgive me?
12:36You know I'm a scoundrel Jane.
12:47Yes sir.
12:49Don't tell me so roundly and sharply.
12:54I'm tired and sick.
12:57I need some water.
13:19How are you now Jane?
13:47Much better.
13:49Taste the wine again.
14:00You won't kiss the husband of Bertha Mason?
14:03No.
14:04You say nothing.
14:25You're thinking how to act.
14:26I know you.
14:27I'm on my guard.
14:28I do not wish to act against you.
14:30You will say this man nearly made me his mistress.
14:33I must be ice and rock to him.
14:35All is changed.
14:36I must change too.
14:38There's only one way.
14:40Adele must have a new governess.
14:42Oh Adele will go to school.
14:44I've arranged that already.
14:46And you Jane.
14:47You shall not stay in this accursed place.
14:49This stone hell with its imprisoned fiend.
14:51How can you speak so of her?
14:54She cannot help being mad.
14:56Oh Jane my little darling.
14:58So I will call you for so you are.
15:01You misjudge me.
15:02It's not because she's mad that I hate her.
15:04Look I have a place to retire to.
15:07A secure retreat.
15:09Tomorrow we shall go.
15:12We?
15:13We.
15:14Together.
15:15You are to accompany me Jane.
15:22Oh now for the hitch in Jane's character.
15:25Now for vexation, exasperation.
15:27Endless trouble.
15:28Jane will you hear reason?
15:31Sit down and we'll listen.
15:33I'm sorry.
15:34I'm not angry my darling.
15:38I only love you too when your little face was so steely it drove me mad.
15:41I couldn't endure it.
15:44Hush now.
15:47Hush.
15:48Oh my dear.
15:51Oh Jane.
15:54Jane.
15:55You don't love me then.
15:58It was only my rank, my station that you valued.
16:02Now that you think me disqualified to be your husband you shrink back like I was a toad
16:08or ape.
16:09I do love you more than ever.
16:15But this must be the last time I say it.
16:18Last time?
16:19Mr. Rochester I must leave you.
16:20Leave?
16:21No and for the rest of my life.
16:22Jane you shall be my wife.
16:23Do not call me married.
16:24You shall be Mrs. Rochester.
16:25Oh I will keep to you only so long as you and I live.
16:26Oh Jane why do you shake your head?
16:27Sir your wife is still living.
16:28Do not call me married.
16:29Oh Jane let me explain please.
16:30Please Jane, Jane, Jane.
16:31Come, come let me explain.
16:32Trust me.
16:33Jane.
16:34Jane.
16:35Jane.
16:36Jane.
16:37Jane.
16:38Jane.
16:39Jane.
16:40Jane.
16:41Jane.
16:42Jane.
16:43Jane.
16:44Jane.
16:45Jane.
16:46Jane.
16:47Jane.
16:48Jane.
16:49Jane.
16:50Jane.
16:51Jane.
16:52Jane.
16:53Jane.
16:54Jane.
16:55Jane.
16:56Jane.
16:57Jane.
16:58Jane.
16:59Jane.
17:00Jane.
17:01Jane.
17:02Jane.
17:03Jane.
17:04Jane.
17:05Jane.
17:06Jane.
17:07Jane.
17:08Jane.
17:09Jane.
17:10Jane.
17:11Jane.
17:12Jane.
17:13Jane.
17:14Jane.
17:15Jane.
17:17Mrs Fairfax told me something of the matter.
17:21Ah they are both dead, I have the estate now.
17:28But they begrudge me a farthing when I was young.
17:30They sent me out to Jamaica,
17:33and unknown to me arranged my marriage to this woman.
17:38She was handsome then.
17:42I was young, raw,
17:44poor, inexperienced.
17:49I seldom saw her and had little private conversation with her.
17:55She flattered me.
17:57I was dazzled.
17:59I thought I loved her.
18:02Her marriage was achieved almost before I knew where I was.
18:07Then she revealed herself, drunken, foul-mouthed, unchaste, disgusting, disgusting.
18:29I never loved.
18:33I never esteemed.
18:36I didn't even know her.
18:40That was my marriage.
18:44I could not rid myself of it by any legal means, for the doctors by now had discovered
18:49that my wife was mad.
18:53I've looked after her as well as I can.
18:57God help me.
18:58I pity you.
19:06I was wrong to deceive you, but I feared the stubbornness in your nature.
19:12I wanted to have you safe before hazarding the truth.
19:16This was cowardly.
19:21I should have appealed to your noble and generous heart from the first, pledged my fidelity,
19:27then asked for yours, as I do now.
19:32Jane, give it me now.
19:41Why are you silent, Jane?
19:44You understand what I want of you, just this promise to be mine.
19:56I cannot be yours.
20:03Jane, do you mean to go one way in the world and leave me to go another?
20:09I do.
20:14Do you mean it now?
20:16I do.
20:21And now?
20:22I do.
20:23Oh, Jane, this is bitter.
20:25It is wicked.
20:26It would be wicked to obey you.
20:36But think of my life when you are gone.
20:40All happiness will be torn away with me.
20:42What shall I do, Jane?
20:44Will I turn for a companion?
20:45Will I turn for hope?
20:46Do as I do.
20:47Look to God in yourself.
20:49Is it better to drive a fellow creature, a fellow human being to despair,
20:53than to transgress a mere human law?
20:57No man being injured in the breach.
21:03Oh, never was anything at once so frail and yet so indomitable.
21:10A mere reed she feels in my hand.
21:14Oh, come to me, Jane.
21:16Come to me.
21:21You're going.
21:22Yes.
21:24You will not be my comforter, my rescuer.
21:27I'm going.
21:29Oh, Jane, my hope, my love, my life.
21:45God bless you.
21:52God keep you from harm and wrong
21:56and reward you for your kindness to me.
22:00Your love would have been my best reward.
22:04Without it, my heart is broken.
22:08Please, please do not follow me.
22:13But you will give me your love.
22:15You will.
22:17You will!
22:43You will.
23:13Where are you going?
23:29Glossop.
23:30Where is that?
23:31It's a fair long way.
23:33How much must I pay to go there?
23:35Thirty shillings.
23:36I have only twenty.
23:39That'll take you to Whitcross.
23:42Get in.
23:55Come on.
24:18Whitcross.
24:28Come on.
24:55I had left my parcel on the coach
24:57and I had no money on me.
25:02I was destitute.
25:31Come on.
26:02Come on.
26:13Come on.
26:41And what may you be wanting, miss?
26:50I'm very tired.
26:52May I please sit down for a moment?
27:08Can you tell me please
27:10is there any dressmaker or plain needle worker in the village?
27:13Aye.
27:15Quite as many as there's work for.
27:19Do you know of any place where a servant is wanted?
27:24Nay, I couldn't say.
27:26Is there any other work?
27:30Only for men in the farms and in Mr. Oliver's foundry.
27:36What do the women do?
27:38I know not.
27:39Some does one thing, some another.
27:42Poor folk must get on as best they can.
27:46Good morning, Mrs. Drake.
27:48Ah, Miss Welling.
27:50I know what it is you want, don't I?
27:52Two nice fresh rolls as usual.
27:55We love them for our tea.
28:03Fresh from Totten.
28:04They do smell delicious.
28:06Good morning, Mrs. Drake.
28:08Thank you, ma'am.
28:16Please, would you give me a roll for this handkerchief?
28:20Nay, I don't sell stuff in that way.
28:24Half a roll or a stale bun?
28:27How do I know where you got that handkerchief?
28:31Will you take my gloves?
28:34What could I do, William?
28:36And I doubt if they're on us.
28:37They couldn't buy either.
28:39They are mine.
28:40You take yourself off, young woman.
28:43I can't afford to feed vagrants.
29:07I can't afford to feed vagrants.
