00:28The End
00:37His wife?
00:38But I told you yesterday, I'm going to marry Mr. Rochester.
00:43Why don't you wish me happiness?
00:45You must forgive me, my dear.
00:46I was a little surprised.
00:49You see, gentlemen of Mr. Rochester's position don't usually marry governesses, do they?
00:55Now, if you'll forgive me, my dear, I have a great deal to do.
01:00Mme Belair, Mme Belair, Monsieur says you have to put on your bonnet at once.
01:04We are all to go shopping.
01:05Mme says?
01:07What?
01:08Mr. Rochester says you have to come with him to buy new clothes for you.
01:11I have to come too to help you choose them.
01:14Come quickly, Monsieur.
01:15Come and put on your bonnet.
01:17Monsieur Tessy va vous acheter une belle robe de soie.
01:42Is everything unpacked?
01:43Yes, sir.
01:44Good.
01:45Ask Miss Ayer to come in, will you?
02:01You look surprised, Jen.
02:04What are all these things?
02:06You ordered them when you went shopping, remember?
02:09But I didn't order these.
02:11I am the order of a plain grey dress.
02:14Your order was so modest, Jen.
02:16I had to supplement it myself.
02:19Don't you think this magnificent?
02:22Blanche Ingram never had anything so handsome?
02:24It would need Blanche Ingram to wear it.
02:27I'd rather have the dress I ordered, sir.
02:30Don't you like this?
02:30Oh, it's beautiful, but...
02:32But what?
02:34Well, I couldn't wear it.
02:36It's not suitable for me.
02:38Nonsense.
02:38You won't know yourself when you're dressed in these.
02:40That's just it.
02:40Oh, please don't make me, sir.
02:43I can't wear any of these things.
02:45You mean you won't?
02:47No, sir.
02:49Very well.
02:50Take them away.
02:51Give them to Adele to play with.
02:53I had hoped that you'd take some pride in the position I offered you.
02:55I was fool enough to believe that you wished to dress in a manner befitting my wife.
02:59So I do.
03:00But not in a manner befitting your mistress.
03:02What?
03:04That would be your married look, I suppose, sir.
03:08Is that how you'll look a year from now when I ask you a favour?
03:12It doesn't suit you to grant.
03:19I'm sorry.
03:27I'd like to wear this.
03:29May I?
03:31Of course.
03:33Well, I told Mrs. Fairfax, she acted so strangely.
03:39What did she say?
03:40Nothing.
03:41She didn't even wish me happiness.
03:43Does she think it's wrong or something?
03:46Why do you say that?
03:48Well, does she think I'm not good enough for you?
03:52She has many old-fashioned ideas.
03:53Forget about her.
03:54You see, I'm not beautiful.
03:59I feel I'm not worthy of you.
04:02I love you, Jane.
04:05No one in the world can look as beautiful.
04:08To you, perhaps.
04:10But not to other people.
04:12There are no other people.
04:14There was only Jane Eyre.
04:16And Rochester.
04:19A MarΓ­a.
04:19To the child.
04:46A Queen.
04:46To the child.
04:47A Queen.
06:31Jane!
06:32Jane!
06:55That's better.
06:56Don't leave me.
06:58It's all right, Jane. I won't leave you.
07:02Try and tell me what happened. Why did you call for help?
07:03It was horrible.
07:05Try and tell me what it was, Jane.
07:10She came in and she stood over me and her eyes were blazing with hatred.
07:15I've never seen that she look on any face.
07:18Then she went and she got that veil and she ripped it in two with a terrible violence and she
07:23came to me and I thought she was going to kill me.
07:26Who is she? Who is she? Who is that woman?
07:30There was no woman, Jane. You had a terrible nightmare, that's all, but you're safe now.
07:36But who knows what that creature may do.
07:38Jane, you speak as though you believed this. It was a dream, that's all.
07:42That's not true. What are you trying to hide from me? What's going on in this house? I have a
07:47right to know.
07:48A dream, Jane. Look there. It was no dream.
07:52I've told you before. Grace Poole was...
07:54It wasn't Grace Poole. I saw her face clearly.
07:57It was no one I've ever seen in this house before.
07:59Why can't you tell me who she is?
08:01I can't tell you, Jane.
08:04After we're married, after tomorrow, when we're far away from here, but not now.
08:09But you must tell me. You must trust me, Jane.
08:15Will it... happen again?
08:18No. I give you my solemn word.
08:26Now.
08:28Let me take you to Adele's room.
08:32Stay with her for the rest of the night. Lock the door.
08:45Edward.
08:47The wedding veil.
08:50I'll try to mend it.
09:13He runs, it's fair fact.
09:15Must've been in a proper state this morning.
09:17He's been ringing his bell for me after a dozen times running.
09:19And then when I got there, he hadn't been notion what he wanted.
09:23Aren't you going to put it on?
09:24There's plenty of time.
09:26Only the bridegroom being nervous, ain't there?
09:30Isn't it?
09:31Aren't they lucky?
09:33How long will they be away?
09:35About a year, I believe.
09:37Oh, that's a long honeymoon.
09:39It's queer the way he hates, Thornfield.
09:40Hold your tongue, Leah.
09:42Well, it's true, isn't it?
09:43Yes.
09:43It is fair fact.
09:45It is fair fact.
09:46What's the matter with you, child?
09:48Monsieur Rochester, he is gross.
09:51He is wicked.
09:52Just talk nonsense, Adele.
09:53Pull yourself together.
09:55It's true.
09:55It's true.
09:56He won't let me go to the wedding to see him and me there be married.
10:00What?
10:01Please, please, speak to him.
10:03Ask him if I may go.
10:04Those are Mr. Rochester's orders, Adele.
10:06No one is to go.
10:07Mr. Rochester wishes everything to be as private as possible.
10:11No one is to go to the church.
10:13Well, anyone would think he was ashamed of his marriage.
10:16Leah, be quiet.
10:17Oh, stop crying, Adele.
10:19You should stand at the door with us and wait for them to come back.
10:23Not unless she's better behaved.
10:26Where is Miss Eyre?
10:28She'll be down.
10:30I...
10:30I hope you'll be very happy.
10:33Thanks.
10:34Go and find Miss Eyre.
10:38Tell her I'm waiting.
10:40Yes, I am.
10:45Jane, you look...
10:47You look so beautiful.
10:49Are you ready?
10:50Yes.
10:52Yes, I'm ready.
10:56Mrs. Fairfax.
10:57See that everything is ready for our immediate departure on our return.
11:00Certainly, sir.
11:01Come, Adele.
11:03Come, Leah.
11:04Edward.
11:06Now, what are you thinking?
11:07You shouldn't have seen me like this.
11:10It's supposed to be unlucky.
11:12Are you afraid?
11:14No.
11:16No, I'm not afraid.
11:44The secret to all hearts shall be disclosed.
11:46That if either of you know any impediment, whereby ye may not be joined together in matrimony,
11:52ye do now confess it.
11:54For be ye well assured that too many as are joined together otherwise than God's word of
11:59love, are not joined together by God, neither is thy matrimony at the Lord.
12:07Edward.
12:09Lest thou take this woman to thy wedded wife?
12:11Stop!
12:12This marriage cannot take place.
12:14I declare the existence of an impediment.
12:16Who are you, sir?
12:17What right of you to interrupt?
12:19I'm a London solicitor and my name is Briggs.
12:21Do you know these people?
12:22This gentleman by name?
12:24Edward Rochester of Thornfield?
12:26Go on with the marriage!
12:26I cannot do that, sir, until I know the nature of this impediment.
12:29Perhaps it can be got over and explained away.
12:31I hardly think that's likely.
12:33The ceremony you're performing is a bigamous one.
12:35Mr. Rochester is married already.
12:37Here is a copy of the certificate of his marriage fifteen years ago to Bertha Mason at
12:42Spanish Town, Jamaica.
12:43All that proves is that I was once married.
12:45You have no proof that my wife is alive.
12:47Mr. Mason?
12:53When did you last see Mrs. Rochester?
12:56In April.
12:58Where?
12:59In Thornfield.
13:00Rochester, let me see her.
13:01And what relation are you to Mrs. Rochester?
13:04Well, is this true, Mr. Rochester?
13:07Is your wife still living?
13:08Yes, but this girl knew nothing.
13:10You must blame me for this.
13:11I can't believe it.
13:12I've lived here for many years, but I've never heard of a Mrs. Rochester at Thornfield.
13:16No.
13:17But you've heard the village tales of a mysterious lunatic kept there.
13:20Yes.
13:21My wife.
13:24He knew how she was.
13:25He never warned me.
13:27Yet he comes here today to destroy my one chance of happiness.
13:30All this, Mr. Rochester, is no excuse for biggum.
13:33Excuse?
13:33How easily you say that!
13:36But you've never seen her, have you?
13:37You don't know my lawful wife.
13:40Come and meet her.
13:42You too, sir.
13:44Come, Jane.
13:46Come on, Mason.
13:47She'll be glad to see you.
13:53Come along, Mr. Mason.
13:54This has to be done.
14:11Keep quiet, can't you?
14:15Stop that noise, do you hear?
14:25Open the door, Grace.
14:35Come on, Mason.
14:36Why are you afraid?
14:38How is she this morning, Grace?
14:40Oh, pretty well, sir.
14:41Fairly quiet for a change.
14:43You remember this room, don't you?
14:48Give me the key.
14:49You're never going in there, sir.
14:50You know what she's like when she sees you.
14:53Give me the key.
15:04Well, don't you want to see my wife?
15:09Keep away!
15:11Keep away!
15:13Keep away!
15:15Open the door, Grace.
15:16Weut!
15:17Weut!
15:24Weut!
15:25What hurt?
15:26No.
15:27I'm used to this.
15:29Her strength, Her inhuman strength.
15:31Oh, yes, her strong.
15:33Her health is excellent.
15:36I have many years of married happiness ahead of me.
15:39Has she been long like this?
15:41since the first year of our marriage.
15:42Dead are houses for the insane.
15:45Have you seen them?
15:46Oh, Master's been so good to her, sir.
15:48If ever she was ill, she was nursed and cosseted like other folk.
15:52And all the time he knew she'd be better dead.
15:55I wish that many times. God knows.
15:57So they found out, sir?
15:59Yes, Grace, they found out.
16:00Why did you stop him, sir?
16:03Why didn't you let him up a chance?
16:06Whatever provocation Mr. Rochester may have had,
16:08and I admit it was great,
16:10because of me it's an offence against the law.
16:12The law.
16:14Why are your laws all on her side and not on mine?
16:18I tried to break one of your laws today.
16:20Very well.
16:21What harm would it have done?
16:23The girl, Mr. Rochester, would have given her happiness.
16:26Is she happy now that you've saved her from me?
16:28She need never have known.
16:30She was bound to find out.
16:31How?
16:32You'd never have known yourself
16:33if he hadn't come from Jamaica to inform against me?
16:35Mr. Mason was not our informant.
16:37Who told you then?
16:39Miss Eyre herself.
16:40Jane, she never set eyes on you before.
16:42Oh, quite by chance.
16:43She has an uncle in Jamaica.
16:45He has business relations with Mason.
16:47When Miss Eyre wrote and told of her impending marriage,
16:49he happened to speak of it.
16:50I had to tell him you were married, Edward.
16:53What else could I do?
16:56Jane, of all people.
17:00Well, where is she?
17:02Jane!
17:03Jane!
17:05Jane!
17:06She'll be taking action.
17:07Will, Mr. Rochester...
17:09My business here is finished.
17:11He's suffered enough.
17:17One might almost think she understood.
17:21Jane!
17:21Jane!
17:22Open the door!
17:23I must speak to you!
17:45You have nothing to say to me, Jane.
17:48No word of reproach.
17:57Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, for God's sake, speak to me.
18:04Do you hate me so much?
18:07No.
18:10But you no longer love me.
18:13Why did you do it?
18:18I tried to send you away.
18:20On my honour, I tried.
18:23But I couldn't.
18:26I loved you too much.
18:29Jane.
18:31Jane, you won't suffer by this.
18:33We'll go abroad for good.
18:35We'll go at once.
18:37Jane, say you'll come with me.
18:39Say you'll come with me, Jane!
18:41No.
18:42Why not?
18:43No, why not?
18:45Because I am married.
18:46Is that what you call marriage, SNAT?
18:48I can't go with you, sir.
18:50So, I was mistaken even in you.
18:52You don't love me.
18:54All you valued was my position.
18:56The rank I could give you.
18:57Now that you can't be my wife,
18:58you'll be nothing to me.
19:00Oh, Jane.
19:02Jane.
19:03Don't let me say to you.
19:05I know they're not true.
19:07I'm nearly out of my mind.
19:09Why?
19:12Oh, Jane.
19:14Jane, what's altered between us?
19:18What difference can a ceremony make
19:20if we really love each other?
19:23Do you still love me, Jane?
19:26Yes.
19:28Then stay with me.
19:30When people love each other as we do,
19:32it's wickedness to part.
19:33It's wickedness to stay.
19:34Oh, Jane.
19:37I never meant to hurt you.
19:41I only tried to snatch a little happiness
19:43for both of us.
19:47Is it wrong to seek to be happy
19:49when one has lived in hell for 15 years?
19:58I was 25, Jane.
20:02Not so very much older than you are now.
20:04Why did you marry her?
20:09It was arranged for me, Jane,
20:11by my father.
20:13He wanted me to be rich.
20:15I was a younger son with very little property.
20:18This woman had a fortune.
20:21My father knew that the family
20:22was tainted with madness,
20:24yet he never told me.
20:27The marriage took place
20:29and I discovered
20:30what I had married.
20:32By God, would I think of it!
20:36But I was bound to have a life!
20:38Don't talk about it anymore.
20:39No, you must hear the rest.
20:41There's not much more.
20:44For years, I lived in Jamaica.
20:49Then...
20:50Then my father and my brother died.
20:52I had no relations here
20:54who knew of her,
20:55so I brought her back to Thornfield.
20:57I engaged Grace Poole
20:59to look after her
21:00and I went abroad.
21:02Do you know what I did there?
21:05I sought forgetfulness
21:06in whatever company provided it.
21:12And then...
21:16One frosty winter afternoon,
21:18I rode back to Thornfield
21:21and I found...
21:23Do you remember, Jane?
21:26Don't.
21:28I found someone
21:29I could truly love.
21:32Oh, Jane, Jane,
21:34you must stay with me.
21:35God.
21:36I won't let you go.
21:38Jesus, Jesus.
21:38I can't lose you.
21:39No.
21:40We'll live abroad.
21:41No.
21:41No one need ever know.
21:42It wouldn't be wicked
21:44to love you.
21:44It wouldn't be to obey you.
21:46Why?
21:46Why?
21:47Whom do you injure?
21:48You've no relatives
21:49or friends
21:49who care what happened to you.
21:50I care for myself.
21:52Oh, Jane!
21:53Oh, my being cries out
21:55to love and comfort you.
21:59But I must go.
22:03Now.
22:04While I've got the strength
22:06to do it.
22:11God bless you, sir.
22:20God bless you.
