00:39:16Come and dance.
00:39:26No, thank you.
00:39:27Come and dance.
00:39:57Who are all those people there this afternoon?
00:40:01All cousins, nephews and nieces.
00:40:07Are you missing your England?
00:40:08My England is always there if I want it.
00:40:21I'm sorry.
00:40:27You never told me what happened to your mother.
00:40:33There was a fire.
00:40:35You know about the fire?
00:40:36Yes.
00:40:38She died then.
00:40:39I'm sorry.
00:40:46I won't bring it up again.
00:40:49I promise.
00:40:50Never make promises.
00:40:51What did you say?
00:40:52Never make promises.
00:40:54Why?
00:40:54Then they'll never be broken.
00:40:56She will look you in the eye and tell you lies.
00:41:18But he must have said something.
00:41:41Did he say when he'd be back?
00:41:42He didn't say anything?
00:41:43What meant he'd be back?
00:41:46You should have asked him.
00:41:49Now go.
00:41:50Anyway, you'll stay till the weekend, won't you?
00:42:01The governor's having a small surrey on Saturday.
00:42:05You know, it's a pity Adminette didn't come.
00:42:07Her mother was a beautiful dancer.
00:42:09That's something I've been meaning to ask you about.
00:42:12Whatever happened to her mother?
00:42:13Nettie?
00:42:14Oh, she died shortly after the fire.
00:42:17She was very badly burned trying to save her little boy.
00:42:20Now, I never knew that Adminette had a brother.
00:42:25Well, she never talks of him, of course, having lost him like that.
00:42:32Off to England, probably.
00:42:35I rather envy them.
00:42:37I rather envy them.
00:43:42Oh, nonsense, of course. I'm sure your wife would agree.
00:43:45Not necessarily. Most of the natives believe in it completely.
00:43:48Antoinette obviously prefers the open air to our stuffy little society down here in Spanish town.
00:43:54She'd be a most welcome addition to our dances, but of course she isn't English, is she?
00:43:58She might feel a little left out.
00:44:00Oh, I don't know. I think you'll find many of the best dances were invented by the French.
00:44:03Yes. Come, Edward. We must do our duty by the wallflowers.
00:44:37Apparently they had snow at home at Noel.
00:44:54It amuses me how all of you here talk of England as home.
00:45:00Have you ever actually been there?
00:45:02No, not yet.
00:45:04Mummy plans to take me next year.
00:45:07She hopes to present me at court, if we can afford it.
00:45:12Sadly, our situation's not what it was.
00:45:14But surely as you were born in this country, this is your home.
00:45:18Certainly not, Mr. Rochester.
00:45:20Even in the good times, it was a fit place for a lady.
00:45:25Ah!
00:45:26One, two.
00:45:28You're supposed to lead.
00:45:31One, two, three, one, two.
00:45:33How can he be a gentleman when he smells like a horse?
00:45:37Benbow.
00:45:38Benbow.
00:45:41Rub him down well, will you?
00:45:42I've ridden him hard.
00:45:44It's good to be back.
00:45:46Good afternoon, sir.
00:45:47Good afternoon, Hilda.
00:45:47How is your journey, sir?
00:45:49Very good, thank you.
00:45:51Ladies.
00:45:51Finish quickly.
00:46:13And go tell Christophine I want her.
00:46:15Christophine is leaving.
00:46:19Leaving?
00:46:19Christophine don't like this sweet honeymoon house no more.
00:46:24And your husband look like he's a zombie.
00:46:27Maybe he don't like honeymoon house no more either.
00:46:33No!
00:46:34I hit you back, my cat crow!
00:46:36I hit you back!
00:46:37For God's sake, Edwinette!
00:46:41Go away, child.
00:46:43You call her a child.
00:46:44She's older than the devil and more cruel.
00:46:47That's Christophine.
00:46:48Yes, master.
00:46:49It's past midday!
00:46:56It's past midday!
00:46:57The white cockroach to marry, the white cockroach to buy English moms, the white cockroach to marry, the white cockroach to buy English moms.
00:47:10You're not leaving.
00:47:12I am.
00:47:12And what about me?
00:47:13Get up, girl, and dress yourself.
00:47:15A woman must have spunks to live in this world.
00:47:18The young master don't like me.
00:47:23If I stay, I just bring trouble and bone of contention to your house.
00:47:26Then go.
00:47:27Emily, smile like that once more.
00:47:33Just once more.
00:47:35And I'll mash your face like I'll mash your face like I'm mashed plantain.
00:47:38You hear me?
00:47:39And I give you bellyache like you never see bellyache.
00:47:42Answer me, girl!
00:47:44Yes, Christophine.
00:47:45Now, Putus, you get yourself out of bed.
00:47:52Did you hear what the girl was singing?
00:47:59White cockroach.
00:48:00That's me.
00:48:01That's what they call all of us who were here before their own people sold them to the slave traders.
00:48:07Why are you looking at me like that?
00:48:10Get out.
00:48:12I want to get dressed.
00:48:15I want to get dressed for dinner.
00:48:19Why did you go away without telling me?
00:48:36Hello.
00:48:37Nettie.
00:48:38That was my mother's name.
00:48:39It suits you.
00:48:40Go, sit with me.
00:48:43I'm sorry.
00:48:44I haven't been myself lately.
00:48:47I'm sorry.
00:48:48I haven't been myself lately.
00:48:51I'm sorry.
00:48:52I haven't been myself lately.
00:48:56I'm sorry.
00:49:01I haven't been myself lately.
00:49:05This country is still so strange to me.
00:49:12Sometimes I feel as though I may lose myself in it.
00:49:18You'll go back to England, won't you?
00:49:25I feel like a walk in the garden.
00:49:31I can hardly hear the insects now.
00:49:46Perhaps I am getting used to everything after all.
00:49:53Let's toast again to happiness.
00:49:59You'll go back to happiness.
00:50:00You'll go back to happiness.
00:50:01You'll go back to happiness.
00:50:06You'll go back to happiness.
00:50:11We'll go back to happiness.
00:50:16We'll go back to happiness.
00:50:26Sorry, sir, the mistress is going to pay a visit.
00:50:44She'll be back tonight.
00:50:46She'll make up her mind in a hurry, and she's gone.
00:50:49Do you know this man?
00:51:10Yes, I know Daniel.
00:51:12Why does he keep writing to me?
00:51:14He doesn't tell you that.
00:51:15He writes you two letters, and he doesn't say why.
00:51:18Is his name really Cosway?
00:51:23Some people say yes, some people say no.
00:51:26Some people say there are many people called Cosway.
00:51:29They are related.
00:51:30But I don't know about that.
00:51:37You may go.
00:51:41I am sorry for you.
00:51:42What?
00:51:43I say nothing, Master.
00:51:50You ask me a hard thing.
00:51:51I tell you a hard thing.
00:51:53Pack up and go.
00:51:55When a man don't love you, more you try, more he hate you.
00:51:59A rich girl like you, pick up your skirt and walk out.
00:52:03Do it, and he come after you.
00:52:05He wouldn't come after me.
00:52:07And I'm not rich.
00:52:08Everything I had belongs to him.
00:52:09That's English law.
00:52:11Law?
00:52:12Heh.
00:52:13The mason boy do it.
00:52:15Him worse than sit himself.
00:52:17The mason boy does it, and the mason boy has a child.
00:52:31He is trying to play for you.
00:52:33He has a hard thing.
00:52:36He has a hard thing.
00:52:40I'm not sure.
00:52:41The mason boy plays.
00:52:43I'm not sure.
00:52:44He's trying to play for you.
00:52:45Daniel Cosway.
00:52:56Yes, sir.
00:52:58Why did you ignore my message to stop writing to me?
00:53:01Many people say things behind your back.
00:53:04I don't care what people say behind my back.
00:53:07But you do, sir.
00:53:09Mind very much.
00:53:11They make monkey out of you.
00:53:13I mind.
00:53:13You're a troublemaker, Daniel Cosway.
00:53:15If that's your real name.
00:53:17Same name as your wife.
00:53:19Same father.
00:53:21Oh, yes, sir.
00:53:22Everything I say is true.
00:53:27Ask that devil, Richard Mason, three questions.
00:53:32Is your wife's mother a lunatic?
00:53:35Was her brother a born imbecile?
00:53:38And is your wife going the same way as her mother?
00:53:42Is her mother alive?
00:53:44Last I hear, she live in a house on the hill, taking in any man who ox.
00:53:52And your wife?
00:53:54And your wife?
00:53:57Same seeds in her.
00:53:59Take a look.
00:54:02See the sign?
00:54:04Fine English gentleman like you don't want to touch a little yellow rat like me, huh?
00:54:10You believe me, but you want everything quiet like the English do, all right?
00:54:15But if I keep my mouth shut, it seems like you owe me something.
00:54:20What's 500 pounds to you?
00:54:22All right, get back to your wife's house, my sister's house.
00:54:33You will see what I can do.
00:54:36And give her my love.
00:54:39You are not the first to kiss her pretty face.
00:54:42You knew what I wanted as soon as you saw me.
00:54:45Hush up.
00:54:48If a man don't love you, I can't make him.
00:54:50Yes, you can.
00:54:51You can make people love or hate or die.
00:54:53You believe that Tintin's story about Obia?
00:54:58If he would come to me just once more, I'd make him love me again.
00:55:07Protoose.
00:55:09Obia is too strong for a white man.
00:55:13It would only cause big trouble.
00:55:18Plenty of people tell your husband's stories about you and your mother.
00:55:21And him don't know what to believe.
00:55:25Cool him.
00:55:26Calm him.
00:55:28Tell him all that happened, but don't cry.
00:55:31Crying's no good with him.
00:55:33He won't believe me.
00:55:51I do what you ask me, but only if you talk to him first.
00:56:00You want to know about my mother because of what Daniel tells you.
00:56:23She wasn't mad.
00:56:26She was lonely.
00:56:28That can be a kind of madness.
00:56:32After the fire, my stepfather bought a house and hired someone to look after her.
00:56:39And then he forgot her.
00:56:40Is she still alive?
00:56:46She died not long ago.
00:56:49You told me she died after the fire.
00:56:54You lied!
00:56:55Because they told me to say so.
00:56:59And it's true.
00:57:01There are always two deaths.
00:57:02The real one and the one people see.
00:57:13Have a drink.
00:57:22Come on.
00:57:22Come on.
00:57:22Come on.
00:57:32Come on.
00:58:02To make you understand.
00:58:05But nothing's changed.
00:58:06Has it?
00:58:11Where did you go this morning?
00:58:16To see Christophine.
00:58:21To ask her what to do?
00:58:24She told me to leave you.
00:58:28Don't you think that might be the best thing?
00:58:29If one of us went away for a while.
00:58:53Your mouth is colder than my head.
00:58:55What?
00:59:20What?
00:59:21What?
00:59:21Darlene, I didn't mean it when I said one of us should leave.
00:59:41I don't want that.
00:59:44We're letting ghosts trouble us.
00:59:47We can be happy.
00:59:47I know we can.
00:59:51I swear, before I drank, I longed to bury my face in her hair as I used to do.
01:00:15She need not have done what she did to me.
01:00:19I'll always swear that.
01:00:21She need not have done it.
01:00:23She need not have done it.
01:00:24I don't know.
01:00:54Nelson?
01:00:57Nelson?
01:00:58Nelson?
01:01:01Nelson!
01:01:04Nelson!
01:01:05Yes.
01:01:07Do you know where the mistress went?
01:01:10She didn't see.
01:01:13Have the cook make up some lunch.
01:01:15Benbo can bring it to me at the bathing pool.
01:01:18Cook gone.
01:01:19What?
01:01:20Yeah.
01:01:21This morning.
01:01:22she says you don't want to look in this house normal then the young girl can
01:01:28make it she's not feeling good well I'm sure you can sort something out
01:01:52and all that I can do here is a good thing
01:01:57so
01:02:02I think that's the way that we see the eyes and the eyes of my eyes
01:02:06and the eyes of my eyes
01:02:09I know I know I'm looking for a new image
01:02:12and I know I know I'm looking for a new image
01:02:15and I know I'm looking for a new image
01:02:19I don't know.
01:02:49This came from England.
01:03:10My brother has been killed in a riding accident.
01:03:13It means the family estate belongs to me.
01:03:27No. No more.
01:03:43I'll go find Christophine.
01:03:52I rang the bell because I was thirsty.
01:03:54Can no one hear?
01:03:55You stop drinking!
01:03:56Then who are you to tell me what to do?
01:03:58Christophine, me now!
01:03:59I won't have that woman in my house!
01:04:01So it's your house now, is it?
01:04:04I thought you liked the black people, but no, you like the light brown girls better, don't you?
01:04:08You blame the old planters, but you do the same thing.
01:04:12Slavery was not a matter of liking or disliking.
01:04:14It was a question of justice.
01:04:16Justice?
01:04:16Justice, my mother whom you all talk about.
01:04:20What justice did she have?
01:04:23Mother.
01:04:24What in God's name are you talking about?
01:04:28Nettie!
01:04:30Nettie is not my name.
01:04:33You're trying to turn me into someone else.
01:04:34That's Obia!
01:04:42I love this place.
01:04:45You spoiled it.
01:04:48And I hate it now.
01:04:50Like I hate you.
01:04:53Before I die, I'll show you how much I hate you.
01:05:00Don't you love me at all?
01:05:04No, I do not.
01:05:08Not at this moment.
01:05:15Not at this moment.
01:05:17That's how you are.
01:05:19A stone!
01:05:21So is me right.
01:05:22Aunt Cora told me all about you.
01:05:24All about you and how your daddy gives everything to your brother.
01:05:27Oh, for God's sake, Andrelate, shut up and go back to bed.
01:05:30I bought you.
01:05:31I bought you!
01:05:33Ow!
01:05:34Ow!
01:05:34Touch me once.
01:05:38You must soon see if I'm a dumb coward like you are.
01:05:42Traitor!
01:05:43Furnicator!
01:05:50You, hush up.
01:05:51And don't cry.
01:05:52Cry is no good with him.
01:05:54I told you before.
01:05:57Why you don't take that girl somewhere else?
01:06:00Why you do that in this place?
01:06:01You want her to hear you.
01:06:06You want her to hear you.
01:06:12So, my wife ran off to tell you, did she?
01:06:15I might have known.
01:06:16She tell me nothing.
01:06:18She a Creole girl.
01:06:19She have the son in her.
01:06:21She have more pride than you.
01:06:22I know that girl.
01:06:25She'll never ask you for love again.
01:06:27She'll die for it.
01:06:29But I beg you.
01:06:31She'll love you so much.
01:06:33Love her again.
01:06:34A little.
01:06:36Like you can't love.
01:06:38Or they will tear her to pieces like they do her mother.
01:06:41I'll always look after her.
01:06:42I promise you that.
01:06:44She don't come to your house and beg you to marry her.
01:06:48It's you come all the long way to her house.
01:06:52And you love her till she's drunk with it.
01:06:55Till she can't see the sun.
01:06:58Then you say you don't want her and break her up.
01:07:00What do you do with our money, eh?
01:07:06That has nothing to do with you.
01:07:08Take it.
01:07:10Leave her enough so she can live.
01:07:11Take the rest and go.
01:07:12You're not without honor.
01:07:14And who will take care of her?
01:07:16I will.
01:07:20Take her away from this place.
01:07:24Maybe to Martinique.
01:07:25That girl was made for loving.
01:07:33She'll marry someone else.
01:07:35Oh, no, she will not.
01:07:38She's my wife, and I intend to look after her for the rest of her life.
01:07:42Now, say goodbye to your mistress and go.
01:07:46Who are you to tell me to go?
01:07:47This Miss Antoinette's house.
01:07:49I assure you, it belongs to me.
01:07:52Now, you will leave immediately, or I'll get the men to put you out.
01:07:55You think the men here touch me?
01:08:00Then I'll get the soldiers up.
01:08:03I've kept some of that wine with the poison in it.
01:08:06No soldiers here.
01:08:08No chain gang either.
01:08:11No treadmill.
01:08:14This a free country.
01:08:18And I a free woman.
01:08:19Do you think I wanted this?
01:08:26I'd give my eyes never to have seen her or this abominable place.
01:08:34First true damn word you say.
01:08:36Finally, it seems quieter here.
01:09:02Antoinette?
01:09:02Don't.
01:09:07Where's Christophine?
01:09:11She won't be coming back.
01:09:15Everything's clearer without her.
01:09:18For both of us.
01:09:23Ow!
01:09:24That's right.
01:09:29Whatever.
01:09:30broadcasfield.
01:09:32Bye.
01:09:33Love you.
01:09:33What do you wish?
01:09:34Take a look at.
01:09:44Bye.
01:09:46Bye.
01:09:46Bye.
01:09:46Bye.
01:09:48Bye.
01:09:48Bye.
01:09:48Bye.
01:09:50Bye.
01:09:50Bye.
01:09:51Bye.
01:09:51Bye.
01:09:51Bye.
01:09:52The Rose of Trilly is a very fine vessel.
01:10:01Traveled on her a couple of times myself now.
01:10:04Know the captain well.
01:10:07So suddenly.
01:10:18She doesn't seem herself.
01:10:22Well, she'll be better looked after in England than in this country.
01:10:33Antoinette, do you really want to go?
01:10:36I think it's time to say our goodbyes.
01:10:41Goodbye, my darling girl. Goodbye.
01:10:45Well, I expect I'll be visiting you at Thornfield Hall.
01:10:48Yes, I expect so, Richard.
01:10:52I'll see you at first.
01:11:08I hated the beauty of the place, and its magic, and the secret I'd never know.
01:11:30Above all, I hated her.
01:11:34She'd left me thirsty, and all my life would be thirst.
01:11:38And longing for what I'd lost before I had found it.
01:12:08Congratulations, sir.
01:12:18Congratulations.
01:12:20Congratulations.
01:12:22Congratulations.
01:12:24Congratulations.
01:12:26Congratulations.
01:12:28Congratulations.
01:12:30Congratulations.
01:12:32Congratulations.
01:12:34Congratulations.
01:12:36Congratulations.
01:12:38Congratulations.
01:12:40Congratulations.
01:12:42Congratulations.
01:12:44Congratulations.
01:12:46Congratulations.
01:12:48Congratulations.
01:12:50Congratulations.
01:12:52Congratulations.
01:12:54Congratulations.
01:12:56Congratulations.
01:13:00I had to tell you the news.
01:13:02The master's marrying our Jane Eyre.
01:13:03He's waited long enough.
01:13:04How is she?
01:13:05Lost as usual?
01:13:06She's not lost her spirit.
01:13:07I don't turn my back on her when she's got that look on her face.
01:13:08When I first came here, I thought it would be for a reason.
01:13:10I waited for him to come, but he did not come.
01:13:38He hired a woman to look after me, and then he forgot me.
01:14:05Now I know I know what I must do.
01:14:07In this house where I am cold and not belonging.
01:14:10I will dream the end of my dream.
01:14:35I helped my dream.
01:14:36No.
01:14:37I was too young.
01:14:38I definitely do.
01:14:40I got you.
01:14:42I missed him.
01:14:44I got you.
01:14:45No.
01:14:46No.
01:14:47I didn't cry.
01:14:48It was too late.
01:14:49I need to.
01:14:50I ran away at the minute.
01:14:51No.
01:14:52I said he was too old.
01:14:53I didn't cry at the end.
01:14:54I can't complain.
01:14:56It was too late at the end.
