No more tricks from you. > No more escapes. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
You're to stay here safe and sound, behind these nice thick walls. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
Better off, if you ask me. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
The world outside is a dark and cold one for a woman. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:44 | |
When are we going to England? | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
You fool! | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
This is England. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
'You've nothing to be afraid of.' | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
'I'll keep you safe.' | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
INSECTS BUZZ | 0:04:13 | 0:04:15 | |
-Edward, what ARE you doing? -Sorry. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
-It's just that... Is everything on this island designed to prick, bite or sting? -Not everything. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
RICHARD LAUGHS | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
I'm sure my discomfort will be a great source of amusement to my father also. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
-His laughter must echo in Piccadilly. -Nonsense. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
His concern is to see you make something of yourself. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
I assure you, Richard, my father's sole concern is maintaining the reputation of the Rochester name. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
A task which falls almost entirely on my brother. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:03 | |
-A man's good name can be his greatest asset. -Apparently so. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:07 | |
How soon do you want to, um...? | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
I need to rest. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
I found the voyage...arduous. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
Of course. Rest. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
Gather your strength. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
We want you to make a good impression, after all. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
-I wasn't aware I was required to impress, Richard. -Not required. No. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
But I'm sure you will anyway... when you've rested. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
KNOCK AT DOOR | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
Richard. You are unusually punctual. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
Allow me to introduce a friend, from England, Edward Rochester. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
Edward, the redoubtable Mrs Harper. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
An honour, Ma'am. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
And my step-sister, Antoinette Cosway. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
It's a pleasure to meet you. Richard has spoken of you often. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
Oh. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-Really? -Oh, yes. Only in the most glowing terms! | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
I see he did not exaggerate. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
Oh, you are very gracious. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
My father was very fond of Edward, Antoinette. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
He was keen that you two should meet. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
Well, I'm only sorry that he cannot be here to introduce us himself. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
That is my great regret also. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:56 | |
Mr Mason's passing was a tragedy for all of us, Mr Rochester. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
He leaves a space which is impossible to fill. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
Sit down. The girl will bring us some tea presently. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
Have you been on the island long, Mr Rochester? | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
A week or so. But I'm afraid I've been confined to bed. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
A fever struck me down the moment I landed. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:25 | |
Yes. This climate finds the weakness in the strongest of constitutions. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:29 | |
Which is why you spend so little time here, isn't it? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
It's very unfortunate to travel so far | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
and then fall sick when you arrive. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:41 | |
To be honest, it now seems a small price to pay. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
All my life, I've looked at pictures of England. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
And I try to imagine what it must be like but I find it impossible. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:58 | |
'As it was impossible for me to imagine Jamaica...until I arrived. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
'I have a friend who married an Englishman. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
'She writes to me about it. She says England is like a dream. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
'I have to say that's precisely how your island seems to me. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
'Unreal, like a dream.' | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
But how can these rivers and mountains and seas be unreal? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
Well, how can millions of people and thousands of buildings and streets seem like a dream? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
'Oh, Easily. Much more easily. A big city must be like a dream. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
'More than your small island?' | 0:08:29 | 0:08:31 | |
Do you still think you're dreaming, Mr Rochester? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
'I'm not sure, Miss Cosway.' | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
Perhaps you're not quite over your fever yet. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |
Perhaps I'm not quite ready to wake yet. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Didn't I say it would be beautiful? | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
-You were right. -I'm trying to win you over. So you won't miss home so. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
Then it's working. I am won. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
I knew this place would do it. | 0:08:57 | 0:08:58 | |
It's one of my favourites. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
-Just one of them? -Oh, yes. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
-There are places even more beautiful than this. -I'd like to know where. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
We have a summerhouse in the mountains. It's better than here. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
-It's better than anywhere. -Perhaps I'll get to see it one day. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
Well, perhaps, one day, I'll show you. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
Didn't Richard mention something about a plantation, as well? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
Yes, once, a long time ago. It was my father's. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:33 | |
-He was a slave owner? -Yes. Before the emancipation. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
It's hard to imagine how any Christian found slavery acceptable. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
It's just how things were then. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
He died and we were alone there. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
And then my mother remarried... to Mr Mason. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-So you ended up in Spanish Town? -I did. She died. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:53 | |
And afterwards, Mr Mason travelled but he provided for me | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
-and I boarded at the convent school. -Oh, I'm sorry. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
Don't be. They were kind to me. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
And I stayed with Aunt Cora sometimes, when she was here. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
It seems unjust you should suffer in so short a life. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
But it was all so long ago. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
We mustn't let it spoil today. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
Do you have family? | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
A father. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
And an elder brother. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
I'm the second son. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
That's why I'm here. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:24 | |
Well, my older brother will inherit the title and the estate. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
The second son must make his own way. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
Ah! So you've come to the islands to seek your fortune? | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
-Like the pirates used to! -Yes. I suppose so. In a way. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
But that's exciting! You should be happy, not downcast. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
Especially not on such a glorious afternoon. | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
It is magnificent. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
I feel like I could fly. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:51 | |
Like I could... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:53 | |
spread my arms and take to the sky like a bird. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-What would you do then? -Stay firmly on the ground. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
Ready to catch you, should you fall. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
-So, are you decided? -Is she? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-She's in no position to refuse. -Neither am I. Well, then, why wait? | 0:11:18 | 0:11:23 | |
Why are you so eager to be rid of her? | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
I'm only eager to see my father's ambitions fulfilled. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
It seems we're both toiling under the same yoke. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Edward, the truth is, the sooner SHE is rid of me the better. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
I'm no guardian. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
I don't have the same qualities Father saw in you. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
You're asking me to be her husband, not her guardian. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
Does it seem so onerous? She's not unattractive. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
No. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
-She's lovely. A delight. -And there's the dowry. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
Yes, of course. The dowry. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
Your father thought it generous. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:58 | |
My father is as eager to wash his hands of me as you are to be rid of her. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:01 | |
You are an honest, decent man. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
Part of a fine and upright family. Antoinette'll be glad of your name. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
You are exactly what she needs. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
You'll ask her? | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
"Dear Father, All is well and has gone according to your plans and wishes. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:37 | |
"I am to be married to Mr Mason's step-daughter. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:42 | |
"£30,000 will be paid to me without question or condition." | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
My love. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:47 | |
"This modest competence means I will never be a disgrace | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
"to you or to my dear brother, the son you love | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
"No begging letters. No mean requests. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:57 | |
"None of the furtive, shabby manoeuvres of a younger son." | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
To my lovely step-sister, Antoinette, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
and my dear friend, Edward. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
-To love. -To love. -To love. -To love. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
"I have sold my soul. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
"Or you have sold it. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
"It is, perhaps, not such a bad bargain. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
"The girl is thought to be beautiful. No, she is beautiful. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:38 | |
"And yet..." | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
It's Richard I'm angry with. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:53 | |
He's left you no financial provision of your own. | 0:13:53 | 0:13:57 | |
Your step-father left money to ensure security. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
That fool has no right to hand it away to someone else. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
-I'll have nothing of my own? -Nothing. -But I have Edward. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
You need security... | 0:14:13 | 0:14:15 | |
What? For when my marriage fails? | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |
I'm not at the altar yet and you already anticipate disaster! | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
I thought you would be happy for me. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
It is not my happiness you should be concerned with. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
Are you so sure that I'm making a mistake? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:36 | |
You are young and pretty, Antoinette. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
-You have no need to throw yourself at the first gentleman who comes along. -I am not throwing myself. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
-I care for Edward. -You're blind! | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
You're seeing nothing but stars. You have to look cold and hard. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
You have to see how he will be with you. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
You must be sure. Absolutely sure. You are young. Time is on your side. Use it. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:55 | |
Wait a little. Until you truly know. Until you are certain. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
What's wrong? Have I done something to upset you? | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
-No. -Then why don't you want us to be married? | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
I'm afraid. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
Afraid of what? | 0:15:55 | 0:15:56 | |
Of what might happen. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
-You've no reason to be afraid. -I want to believe that's true. -It is true. When we're together, aren't we happy? | 0:16:02 | 0:16:08 | |
I am. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
And can't you see I am too? | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
I thought I could. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
-But why do you seem different with other people? -What other people? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
Richard. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
And Aunt Cora. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:26 | |
Your Aunt Cora is very cold to me. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
You know that. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
She doesn't want to lose you. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:52 | |
It's understandable but you can see how it makes things difficult for me. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:58 | |
And Richard? | 0:17:00 | 0:17:01 | |
Richard is a man. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
We laugh and joke and tell stories. That's what men do. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
We don't speak the way you and I do. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
Not from the heart. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
Of course I'm different with others. It's only with you I am myself. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
You don't know anything about me. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
You don't know anything about me. | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
I know you make me happy. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
I know I want to marry you. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
Take care of you. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
I could say you don't know anything about me. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
But you know how you feel, don't you? | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
Then isn't that enough? | 0:18:27 | 0:18:29 | |
Shouldn't we trust that? | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
Isn't that what marriage is... that bargain? | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
That I'll trust you, if you trust me. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
Do you trust me? | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
Then you have nothing to be afraid of. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:56 | |
I will make you happy, | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
I will keep you safe. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
I will give you... | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
everything you need. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
Can you give me peace? | 0:19:15 | 0:19:17 | |
Anything. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:24 | |
I promise you. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
I promise you. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:31 | |
You won't change your mind? | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
I would ask you the same question. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |

Here we are, at last! | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
They're all waiting. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Your luggage in your room, everything ready for you. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
Oh, thank you. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
Oh, Christophine! | 0:21:55 | 0:21:56 | |
Now that you are here - this is my favourite place in the whole world. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
This is Rose. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-And, er... -Amelie. -Amelie. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
And this is Christophine, | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
who was my nurse...long ago. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
Come, let me show you the house. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
-Breathe! -The air is sweet. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
Ah, everything is sweet here. This is our sweet honeymoon house. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
To happiness. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
-You look like an emperor! -God forbid. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
-You'll like it here. -What's through there? | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
That's your dressing room. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:02 | |
This was old Mr Mason's room. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
-It's very comfortable. -He didn't like it. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:29 | |
It can get cold at night. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
Thank you. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:42 | |
I hope you'll be very happy, sir, | 0:23:49 | 0:23:52 | |
in your sweet honeymoon house. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
What is it? | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Your dress suits you. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
It was made in St Pierre, Martinique. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
-You say that as if it were Paris. -It's the Paris of the West Indies. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:51 | |
So what do you think of Granbois? | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
-It's very beautiful. -I love it. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:03 | |
As if it were a person. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:05 | |
More than a person. I... | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
I love it more than anywhere in the world. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:11 | |
Well, you don't know the rest of the world. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
Is the rest of the world more beautiful? | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
No... | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
..it's just different. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
'We used to come in the summer to get away from the hot weather.' | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
I came with Aunt Cora. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
That was after the... | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
After what? | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
No. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
No sad stories. Not tonight. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
When it was very hot, I'd sneak out onto the veranda | 0:25:52 | 0:25:58 | |
and fall asleep in the hammock. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
Christophine didn't like that. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
She said it was very bad | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
to sleep in the light of a full moon. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
Christophine sounds like an old witch! | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
I sometimes think she might be right. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
Maybe I have slept too long in the moonlight. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
You don't think that, do you? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
The air here is so scented. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:44 | |
Hmm. It's the flowers... | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
by the river... | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
they only open up at night. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
Night flowers! | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
Whoever heard of such a thing? | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
To tomorrow. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:20 | |

Now I am your wife. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
And I am Christopher Columbus, on the shores of a New World. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:12 | |
You are my undiscovered country and I claim you! | 0:30:12 | 0:30:16 | |
KNOCK AT DOOR | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
We wake early here. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |

Bull's Blood, master. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
-ANTOINETTE LAUGHS -It's coffee. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
-Mmm, delicious. -Not horse piss, like them English ladies drink. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:55 | |
I know them. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
Drink, drink their yellow horse piss. Talk, talk their lying talk. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:02 | |
Her coffee is delicious but her language is disgusting. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
-It doesn't mean anything. -And why is she dressed like that? | 0:31:09 | 0:31:13 | |
They dress like that for feast days. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:15 | |
-Is today a feast day? -She wanted it to be. For us. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:22 | |
You skim stones as well as a boy. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:01 | |
-It was a boy who taught me. -What boy? | 0:32:01 | 0:32:03 | |
Sandi. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
There's so much about you I don't know. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
-You know more of me than anyone. -I want to know everything. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:14 | |
Well, then, it's lucky we have so much time. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:19 | |
-You should get dressed. -Why? Don't you like me like this? | 0:32:20 | 0:32:24 | |
Someone might come. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:26 | |
No-one comes here. Besides, we're not doing anything wrong. We're married. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:30 | |
Which is why you should get dressed. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:32 | |
-Is England very different? -Very. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
When I was a girl, we had pictures of England. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
I used to think, if only I could go there. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:50 | |
Everything would be different. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
I'd be a different person. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
I'd be safe and sound. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
You are safe and sound. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
It must be strange. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:08 | |
After summer, the trees grow bare. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:14 | |
And snow. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:16 | |
What's snow like? Hmm? | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
I can't imagine it. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:21 | |
You'll not have to imagine it. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:23 | |
You'll see for yourself. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:25 | |
I dream about it sometimes. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
What do you dream? | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
Antoinette? | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
Antoinette? | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
What do you dream? | 0:33:52 | 0:33:54 | |
Chandeliers and...dancing. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
Swans and roses. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
And...snow. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
Always snow. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
Here...let me cover you up. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:36 | |
-The breeze can be cold. -What about you? | 0:34:36 | 0:34:39 | |
I need to get dressed. For dinner. | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
I want to look my best. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
-Why don't you wear the other one. -Hmm? | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
Yes. That one. I prefer that one. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
-I could get another made, exactly the same. -I'd like that. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:02 | |
-And how do you prefer my hair? -Up. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:06 | |
Away from your neck and shoulders. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
Yes. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
Like that. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
Exactly like that. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:13 | |
You feel how fast you make my heart beat? | 0:36:23 | 0:36:26 | |
ANTOINETTE'S LAUGH ECHOES | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
VOICES MUTTER | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
Books no good here. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:20 | |
I wouldn't imagine you'd have much use for them anyway. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:24 | |
Read and write, I don't know. Other things I know. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:27 | |
-What, like how to spy on people? -The door open. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:30 | |
That how everybody know everybody else's business. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
Well, my business is my own. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
-I expect it to stay that way. -I just tell you the truth. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
You can't close your doors, learn to close your ears. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:40 | |
-What are you digging for? -Treasure! | 0:37:52 | 0:37:54 | |
What, from your pirates? | 0:37:54 | 0:37:56 | |
The islands used to be full of them. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
-A long time ago. -Yes, but there are still traces... | 0:37:58 | 0:38:02 | |
if you look hard enough. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:04 | |
-What kind of traces? -Gold... | 0:38:04 | 0:38:07 | |
and jewels. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:08 | |
All sorts of precious things, | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
buried in secret spots. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
-And does anyone ever find any treasure? -Yes. But they never tell. | 0:38:15 | 0:38:19 | |
They want to keep it all, so they don't speak of it. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:22 | |
And they only sell to men who don't ask questions. Everyone knows but no one will tell. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:27 | |
These islands sometimes seem to be held together entirely by secrets! | 0:38:29 | 0:38:34 | |
Secrets and treasure. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
-Do you think I'll ever uncover any? -Oh, I'm certain of it. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:43 | |
-And what should I do then? -Never tell. Never tell. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:48 | |
'I never wished to live before I knew you. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
'I always thought it would be better if I died.' | 0:38:55 | 0:38:57 | |
How did you do that to me? | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
I wished it, that's all. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:01 | |
What if, one day, you didn't wish it? | 0:39:02 | 0:39:06 | |
What if you... What would I do then? | 0:39:06 | 0:39:09 | |
What if you took this happiness away again? | 0:39:09 | 0:39:12 | |
And lose my own? I'd never be so foolish. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:19 | |
I'm not used to happiness. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
It makes me afraid. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
Don't be afraid. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
I'll keep you safe. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:28 | |
If I could die now, when I'm happy. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:34 | |
Would you do that? You could. Just say it and watch me. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:38 | |
Say die and I will die. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
Who are you? | 0:40:25 | 0:40:27 | |
My name is Cosway, Sir. Like your wife's. Daniel Cosway. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:33 | |
Your wife's father also my father. | 0:40:33 | 0:40:36 | |
-I am your wife's brother by another lady. -What do you want? | 0:40:36 | 0:40:41 | |
To help you, Sir. I fear that you have been deceived. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:45 | |
Cosway a wicked family. Slave owners. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:49 | |
But wickedness not the worst. There's madness too. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:53 | |
-Madness? What are you talking about? -It's in all these white Creole. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:59 | |
Your wife's mother marry old Cosway. He die raving and cursing. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:05 | |
She marry again and try kill her husband. He have to keep her shut away. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:09 | |
-But my wife's mother died years ago. -Lies, Sir. They tell you lies. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:12 | |
You don't believe me? Ask Richard Mason three simple questions. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:17 | |
Ask if your wife's mother a raging lunatic. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:21 | |
Ask him if your wife going the same way. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
And ask him if they all knowing it. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:27 | |
Money is good, Sir. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
-But no money can pay for a crazy woman in your bed. -You're talking about my wife! | 0:41:30 | 0:41:35 | |
There's more you should know. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:39 | |
The girl Amelie know me. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |
You come see me. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
What? What is it? | 0:42:09 | 0:42:10 | |
-You got a look says you're happy. -I am. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:15 | |
Then now is a good time for me to go look after my own house. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:19 | |
-What do you mean? You mean leave here? -It's time. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:26 | |
No. | 0:42:26 | 0:42:27 | |
The young master don't like me. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
If I stay here, I bring a bone of contention in your house. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
But what am I to do without you? | 0:42:35 | 0:42:39 | |
You do fine. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:41 | |
You got to stand on your own feet, girl. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:45 | |
Women must have guts in this wicked world. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:49 | |
You're decided then? | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
Be strong, Dou-dou. Be strong. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:56 | |
Edward, Christophine is leaving. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:02 | |
-Best for me to go now. -Edward? | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
-I heard. -Is something wrong? -No. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:07 | |
Amelie, smile like that once more and I mash your face like a plantain. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:14 | |
And maybe I give you a bellyache, make you lie down a long time. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:18 | |
You hear me? | 0:43:18 | 0:43:19 | |
Yes, Christophine. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:21 | |
-You have no right to threaten her. -She good for nothing. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
-Creep and crawl like a centipede. -It's as well you decided to leave. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:28 | |
Goodbye, Dou-dou. | 0:43:30 | 0:43:33 | |
-Goodbye. -Be strong. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:36 | |
-Remember, I am close by. -Goodbye, Christophine. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:40 | |
Thank you. | 0:43:40 | 0:43:42 | |
-What mood is this? -My head is perfectly clear. | 0:43:50 | 0:43:53 | |
Do you take after your mother, do you think? | 0:43:54 | 0:43:58 | |
Do you look like her? | 0:43:59 | 0:44:00 | |
-I don't know. I hadn't... -She must've been young when she died. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
She must've been beautiful. Do you remember? | 0:44:04 | 0:44:06 | |
-Of course. -How old were you when she passed away? | 0:44:06 | 0:44:10 | |
I-I was...eleven. | 0:44:12 | 0:44:14 | |
You seem unsure. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:19 | |
No. I was eleven. It was a long time ago. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
Why do you seem like a stranger today? | 0:44:25 | 0:44:28 | |
Me strange? You're in nightclothes. | 0:44:28 | 0:44:30 | |
You should go and get dressed, or go to your room. | 0:44:30 | 0:44:34 | |
-Why are you speaking to me like this? -It's not normal to wear nightclothes in the day. | 0:44:37 | 0:44:40 | |
-Whose business is it what I wear? -I'm your husband. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:43 | |
-My husband, not my gaoler. -It's not appropriate. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:46 | |
You should get dressed, or go to your room. | 0:44:46 | 0:44:49 | |
What is it? What? | 0:45:49 | 0:45:51 | |
Water, master. I thought maybe the mistress want to wash. | 0:45:51 | 0:45:55 | |
Do you know what happened to the mistress's mother? | 0:46:05 | 0:46:09 | |
I been told it's not right for me to talk about such things. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:13 | |
What things? I want you to tell me. | 0:46:13 | 0:46:15 | |
It's just what I hear. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:19 | |
I can't say it true or not. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:22 | |
I understand. | 0:46:22 | 0:46:25 | |
Tell me what you hear. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:26 | |
I hear the lady go mad. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:32 | |
I hear she try and kill her husband. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:38 | |
So they lock her away and forget her. | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
-Should I go in now, sir? -Go ahead. Take it in. Let her wash. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:52 | |
Leave me alone. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
Creole woman like you, you always alone. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:31 | |
Get out! | 0:47:32 | 0:47:33 | |
Your husband outside there. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:45 | |
He look like zombie. Maybe he tired of your sweet honeymoon? | 0:47:45 | 0:47:49 | |
Too much sweet make a person sick in the stomach. | 0:47:49 | 0:47:53 | |
Sick in the head sometimes too. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:56 | |
Don't you speak to me like that, do you hear me! Don't you speak to me like that! | 0:47:58 | 0:48:02 | |
You white cockroach! | 0:48:02 | 0:48:04 | |
Antoinette! What are you doing! | 0:48:07 | 0:48:09 | |
Go away, girl. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:11 | |
Girl? | 0:48:11 | 0:48:13 | |
She's as old as the devil himself! | 0:48:13 | 0:48:16 | |
-What's happened to you? -To me? You attacked that girl? | 0:48:16 | 0:48:18 | |
-You side with her? I side with no-one. -I judge for myself. -Judge who? | 0:48:19 | 0:48:23 | |
She called me a white cockroach. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:26 | |
That's what they call me. Or, or, or White Nigger. | 0:48:26 | 0:48:29 | |
Cos I'm a Creole. | 0:48:29 | 0:48:31 | |
Not like them but I'm not English like you. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:34 | |
Between the two of you, I sometimes wonder who I am myself! | 0:48:34 | 0:48:39 | |
Now, will you please go? I need to get dressed. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:57 | |

And the truth shall set you free. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:21 | |
You told me there was more I should know about my situation. | 0:50:21 | 0:50:25 | |
You know what I say was no lie. | 0:50:25 | 0:50:28 | |
Other people say things behind your back | 0:50:28 | 0:50:31 | |

There is that woman at your house, Christophine. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:37 | |
What about her? | 0:50:39 | 0:50:41 | |
She's obeah woman. | 0:50:41 | 0:50:43 | |
-She make bad magic. -Obeah. -Hmm. | 0:50:44 | 0:50:47 | |
She will lie to you worse than your wife. | 0:50:47 | 0:50:50 | |
I don't have to please no woman. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:52 | |

No. Not everything. | 0:51:22 | 0:51:26 | |
I see them when they think nobody see them. | 0:51:26 | 0:51:29 | |
They fool you well about that girl. | 0:51:29 | 0:51:32 | |
Must be you deaf. You don't hear people laugh when you marry her. | 0:51:32 | 0:51:36 | |
She start with Sandi. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:38 | |
You want me to shut my mouth? You want to do everything quiet, like the English do? | 0:51:40 | 0:51:44 | |
If I keep my mouth shut, it seems to me you owe me something. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:48 | |
What's £500 to you? | 0:51:52 | 0:51:54 | |
If I don't get the money I want, you'll see what I can do! | 0:51:57 | 0:52:00 | |
Give my love to your wife for me! | 0:52:01 | 0:52:04 | |
Kiss her pretty white face! | 0:52:04 | 0:52:07 | |
You're not the first. You're not the first! | 0:52:07 | 0:52:12 | |
THUNDER RUMBLES | 0:52:16 | 0:52:19 | |
My love. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:31 | |
Please don't be angry. | 0:52:31 | 0:52:33 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:52:34 | 0:52:36 | |
Please...please forgive me. | 0:52:37 | 0:52:42 | |
-For what? -Whatever I've done to upset you. | 0:52:45 | 0:52:49 | |
Have you done anything? | 0:52:53 | 0:52:55 | |
I must have done. | 0:52:55 | 0:52:58 | |
Why else would you be so cold with me? | 0:52:58 | 0:53:02 | |
But you don't know? | 0:53:02 | 0:53:03 | |
Well, then, please tell me. Let me put it right. | 0:53:07 | 0:53:11 | |
Please, let me be your sweet Antoinette again. | 0:53:13 | 0:53:18 | |
I don't like that name. | 0:53:22 | 0:53:24 | |
I never have. It's too complex. | 0:53:24 | 0:53:26 | |
I'd like to think of you as something else. | 0:53:27 | 0:53:30 | |
-Something simpler. -What do you mean? | 0:53:30 | 0:53:35 | |
-That's my name. -I'll think of another. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:39 | |
A proper English name. | 0:53:41 | 0:53:42 | |
One that suits you. | 0:53:42 | 0:53:46 | |
My name is Antoinette! | 0:53:56 | 0:53:59 | |
My name is Antoinette! | 0:53:59 | 0:54:00 | |
MY NAME IS ANTOINETTE! | 0:54:00 | 0:54:03 | |
MY NAME IS ANTOINETTE! | 0:54:03 | 0:54:06 | |
-FADES: -My name is Antoinette! | 0:54:06 | 0:54:09 | |
'He doesn't love me, Christophine. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:07 | |
'He sleeps in the other room. | 0:55:10 | 0:55:13 | |
'He doesn't talk to me.' | 0:55:13 | 0:55:16 | |
'I can't stand it. What do I do?' | 0:55:18 | 0:55:21 | |
Leave him. | 0:55:22 | 0:55:23 | |
When man don't love you, more you try, more he hate you. | 0:55:24 | 0:55:28 | |
No, I can't leave him. I couldn't bear it. | 0:55:30 | 0:55:33 | |
A man don't treat you good, pick up your skirt and walk out. | 0:55:33 | 0:55:36 | |
You do it and he come after you. Specially rich white girl like you. | 0:55:36 | 0:55:40 | |
No. He won't come after me. I'm not rich. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:43 | |
I don't have anything. | 0:55:44 | 0:55:47 | |
He has everything. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:50 | |
What you tell me? | 0:55:50 | 0:55:52 | |
That's English Law. | 0:55:52 | 0:55:54 | |
You know what I want. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:18 | |
No, Dou-dou. Bad, bad trouble come when you meddle with that. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:23 | |
If the man don't love you, I can't make him. | 0:56:23 | 0:56:27 | |
Yes, you can. I know you can. | 0:56:27 | 0:56:29 | |
If you could make him come to me just once more. | 0:56:32 | 0:56:36 | |
Just...just one night. I know... | 0:56:36 | 0:56:40 | |
I know I could make him love me. | 0:56:40 | 0:56:43 | |
The man hear stories. He don't know what to believe. That is why he keep away. | 0:56:43 | 0:56:48 | |
Do battle for yourself now. | 0:56:48 | 0:56:51 | |
Tell him about your mother and all what happened to her. | 0:56:51 | 0:56:55 | |
Tell him why she got sick and what they do to her. | 0:56:55 | 0:56:59 | |
Don't bawl, don't make crazy faces, and no crying either. | 0:56:59 | 0:57:03 | |
Crying's no good with him. Speak to him calm and cool. | 0:57:03 | 0:57:07 | |
-Tell him the truth. -It's too late for that. -Never too late for that. | 0:57:07 | 0:57:12 | |
If I do as you say... | 0:57:18 | 0:57:21 | |
Then... | 0:57:22 | 0:57:23 | |
..then will you give me what I asked for? | 0:57:25 | 0:57:29 | |
Please, Christophine... | 0:57:32 | 0:57:35 | |
..please. | 0:57:37 | 0:57:39 | |
Help me. | 0:57:39 | 0:57:40 | |
I went to see Christophine this morning. | 0:58:06 | 0:58:09 | |
What did she have to say? | 0:58:09 | 0:58:10 | |
She told me I should leave you. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
Really? | 0:58:16 | 0:58:17 | |
I told her you seem to hate me and that was her advice. | 0:58:20 | 0:58:24 | |
I don't hate you. | 0:58:25 | 0:58:27 | |
I'm very concerned about you. | 0:58:29 | 0:58:31 | |
Why do you treat me like this? | 0:58:34 | 0:58:37 | |
Is there a reason? | 0:58:40 | 0:58:42 | |
Is your mother alive? | 0:58:49 | 0:58:52 | |
No. | 0:58:55 | 0:58:57 | |
When did she die? | 0:58:58 | 0:59:00 | |
Last summer. | 0:59:05 | 0:59:07 | |
-So you lied to me. -No. | 0:59:07 | 0:59:10 | |
No, no, it wasn't a lie. | 0:59:10 | 0:59:13 | |
She died two deaths. | 0:59:13 | 0:59:16 | |
The real one when I was young | 0:59:16 | 0:59:19 | |
and then the one at the end. | 0:59:19 | 0:59:22 | |
-I heard about your mother. -I know, people always tell lies about her. | 0:59:22 | 0:59:27 | |
-They, they, they tell stories and they won't listen to the other side. -Is there another side? | 0:59:27 | 0:59:31 | |
-There's always another side. -I heard that your mother... | 0:59:31 | 0:59:35 | |
I know what you heard! | 0:59:35 | 0:59:38 | |
That my mother was mad. | 0:59:38 | 0:59:41 | |
-And that I must be too. -And is it true? About your mother? | 0:59:41 | 0:59:44 | |
No. I... It's difficult! | 0:59:44 | 0:59:47 | |
We don't need to talk about it tonight. | 0:59:51 | 0:59:53 | |
-We must talk about it tonight. -Not tonight. Another time. | 0:59:56 | 1:00:01 | |
No other time. Now. | 1:00:01 | 1:00:04 | |
You have no right to ask me questions about my mother and then not listen to me. | 1:00:05 | 1:00:10 | |
I'll listen to you. | 1:00:14 | 1:00:15 | |
If that's what you want, I'll listen to all you have to say. | 1:00:15 | 1:00:20 | |
They say when trouble comes, | 1:00:26 | 1:00:30 | |
close ranks. | 1:00:30 | 1:00:32 | |
And so the white people did. | 1:00:34 | 1:00:37 | |
But we were not in their ranks. | 1:00:37 | 1:00:39 | |
They did not approve of my mother. | 1:00:41 | 1:00:43 | |
We were alone and poor for five years after my father died. | 1:00:45 | 1:00:49 | |
It is a long time to live like that. | 1:00:49 | 1:00:53 | |
She was so lonely, she grew away from people. | 1:00:56 | 1:00:59 | |
And then? | 1:01:04 | 1:01:06 | |
Then, one day, everything changed. Suddenly there were people again. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:10 | |
Visitors. And then Mr Mason. | 1:01:12 | 1:01:14 | |
So why did you leave the plantation? | 1:01:14 | 1:01:17 | |
We were driven out. | 1:01:21 | 1:01:23 | |
They burned the house to the ground. | 1:01:26 | 1:01:29 | |
-Very dramatic. -It's true. | 1:01:29 | 1:01:32 | |
-The fire killed my brother, Pierre, and in a way my mother died too that night. -Death number one? | 1:01:32 | 1:01:39 | |
She'd lost Pierre and she blamed Mr Mason. | 1:01:48 | 1:01:51 | |
She wouldn't let him near her. | 1:01:51 | 1:01:54 | |
He said she tried to kill him. | 1:01:54 | 1:01:57 | |
He bought a house and hired a man and woman to keep her there and look after her. | 1:01:57 | 1:02:02 | |
So she did go mad? | 1:02:06 | 1:02:08 | |
They told me she was ill and she had gone to the country. | 1:02:09 | 1:02:14 | |
They wanted me to forget her. | 1:02:15 | 1:02:18 | |
But I'm not a forgetting person. | 1:02:21 | 1:02:25 | |
So what did you do? | 1:02:25 | 1:02:27 | |
One day I went to visit her. | 1:02:28 | 1:02:31 | |
I could hear her crying, | 1:02:31 | 1:02:33 | |
so I ran onto the veranda where I could see into the room. | 1:02:33 | 1:02:37 | |
She was wearing an evening dress, | 1:02:39 | 1:02:41 | |
cut very low, and she was barefoot. | 1:02:41 | 1:02:43 | |
And there was a fat, black man... | 1:02:45 | 1:02:48 | |
the one Mr Mason had hired. | 1:02:48 | 1:02:50 | |
He had a glass of rum | 1:02:51 | 1:02:53 | |
and he said, | 1:02:53 | 1:02:55 | |
"Drink. Drink and you'll forget." | 1:02:55 | 1:02:59 | |
And she drank it all without stopping. | 1:03:01 | 1:03:04 | |
Then he grabbed her and kissed her. | 1:03:06 | 1:03:12 | |
His mouth, hard on hers. | 1:03:13 | 1:03:16 | |
And she didn't even struggle. | 1:03:18 | 1:03:21 | |
And I remember... | 1:03:25 | 1:03:27 | |
he laughed... | 1:03:27 | 1:03:29 | |
..he laughed. | 1:03:31 | 1:03:32 | |
And...I ran away and I never went back. | 1:03:34 | 1:03:38 | |
Well, there it is. | 1:03:49 | 1:03:50 | |
That's the truth. | 1:03:52 | 1:03:54 | |
Is it too late for that? | 1:04:00 | 1:04:03 | |
You're shivering. | 1:04:11 | 1:04:15 | |
Your hands are cold. | 1:04:33 | 1:04:35 | |
You've been sat here too long. | 1:04:36 | 1:04:39 | |
It's late. We can talk things over tomorrow. | 1:04:41 | 1:04:45 | |
And all the days after. | 1:04:52 | 1:04:54 | |
-Will you come in and say goodnight to me? -Of course. | 1:05:10 | 1:05:15 | |
If you wish. | 1:05:16 | 1:05:18 | |
We are letting ghosts destroy us. | 1:06:14 | 1:06:17 | |
We've forgotten how to live. | 1:06:21 | 1:06:23 | |
Drink. | 1:06:26 | 1:06:27 | |
Drink and you'll... and you'll remember. | 1:06:28 | 1:06:33 | |
HE RETCHES | 1:07:03 | 1:07:06 | |
Bring me something to eat. | 1:09:15 | 1:09:19 | |
What are you doing? | 1:10:44 | 1:10:45 | |
Fixing you better. | 1:10:45 | 1:10:47 | |
Why? | 1:10:47 | 1:10:49 | |
I am sorry for you. | 1:10:51 | 1:10:54 | |
Sorry for me? | 1:10:56 | 1:10:58 | |
EDWARD GRUNTS, AMELIE SIGHS | 1:11:24 | 1:11:26 | |
AMELIE GROANS | 1:11:28 | 1:11:30 | |
THEY THUD AGAINST THE DOOR | 1:11:41 | 1:11:44 | |
Here we are, it's a present. | 1:12:42 | 1:12:44 | |
So what will you do now? | 1:12:53 | 1:12:55 | |
My sister's in Demerara. | 1:12:57 | 1:12:59 | |
A dressmaker. | 1:12:59 | 1:13:01 | |
I go see her. | 1:13:01 | 1:13:03 | |
You're too beautiful to be a dressmaker. | 1:13:06 | 1:13:09 | |
Maybe I go to Rio. | 1:13:09 | 1:13:11 | |
Plenty of rich men in Rio. | 1:13:13 | 1:13:15 | |
Rio's a long way away from Christophine? | 1:13:15 | 1:13:18 | |
Are you still sorry for me? | 1:13:23 | 1:13:25 | |
Yes. | 1:13:25 | 1:13:26 | |
I'm sorry for you. | 1:13:27 | 1:13:31 | |
But I am sorry for her too. | 1:13:33 | 1:13:35 | |
-What are you doing? -Having a drink. -Do you think that's wise? | 1:14:58 | 1:15:02 | |
Do you think you can stop me? | 1:15:05 | 1:15:07 | |
Is she prettier than me? | 1:15:13 | 1:15:15 | |
Hmm? | 1:15:15 | 1:15:17 | |
Is that why you're trying to turn me into someone else? | 1:15:17 | 1:15:21 | |
You married the wrong kind? | 1:15:21 | 1:15:23 | |
You like the... you like the coloured girls better? | 1:15:23 | 1:15:28 | |
You talk so much about how you don't like slavery | 1:15:28 | 1:15:31 | |
-and then get up to the same tricks when you get a chance. -It's hardly the same. -Oh, isn't it? | 1:15:31 | 1:15:37 | |
-You send the girl away quicker and with less money! -Slavery was not a matter of liking or disliking. | 1:15:37 | 1:15:41 | |
-It was a question of justice. -Justice? | 1:15:41 | 1:15:45 | |
Oh, that's a cold word. | 1:15:46 | 1:15:49 | |
A damn, cold lie. | 1:15:49 | 1:15:51 | |
There is no justice. | 1:15:52 | 1:15:55 | |
I loved this place. | 1:16:00 | 1:16:02 | |
I loved it with all my heart. | 1:16:02 | 1:16:04 | |
And now you've made it a place I hate. | 1:16:04 | 1:16:07 | |
I used to think if I lost everything, I would still have this. | 1:16:07 | 1:16:12 | |
But now I have nothing. And I hate it. Like I hate you. | 1:16:12 | 1:16:16 | |
And I swear, before I die, I will show you just how much. | 1:16:16 | 1:16:20 | |
Don't you love me - even a little? | 1:16:29 | 1:16:32 | |
No. | 1:16:40 | 1:16:42 | |
Stop it! | 1:16:56 | 1:16:58 | |
Go on. Try and touch me. Just once. | 1:17:02 | 1:17:06 | |
-Try. -Hush up now! Crying's no good with him. | 1:17:06 | 1:17:09 | |
I told you before. Crying's no good. | 1:17:09 | 1:17:12 | |
I hope you satisfied. I hope you well satisfied! | 1:17:26 | 1:17:30 | |
You will burn for what you do to her. | 1:17:51 | 1:17:55 | |
"Father, you've succeeded. | 1:18:28 | 1:18:31 | |
"Did you plan this to make a fool of me? | 1:18:33 | 1:18:37 | |
"I was young, conceited, foolish and trusting. | 1:18:41 | 1:18:49 | |
"Above all, I was young. | 1:18:52 | 1:18:55 | |
"I am not young now. | 1:19:09 | 1:19:11 | |
"There is a cool wind blowing. A cold wind. | 1:19:15 | 1:19:19 | |
"Words rush through my head. | 1:19:24 | 1:19:26 | |
"Pity is one of them. | 1:19:27 | 1:19:30 | |
"Is there none for me? | 1:19:30 | 1:19:32 | |
"Tied to a lunatic for life. | 1:19:34 | 1:19:36 | |
"That blank, hating face. | 1:19:38 | 1:19:42 | |
"I'll watch for one tear, one human tear. | 1:19:43 | 1:19:47 | |
"If she weeps, or smiles... | 1:19:48 | 1:19:52 | |
"I will take her in my arms. | 1:19:52 | 1:19:55 | |
"My beautiful lunatic. | 1:19:55 | 1:19:58 | |
"What will I care for gods... | 1:19:59 | 1:20:02 | |
"or devils, or for fate itself, | 1:20:02 | 1:20:07 | |
"if she smiles...for me?" | 1:20:07 | 1:20:11 | |
Baptiste has the horses ready. | 1:20:15 | 1:20:17 | |
The carriage will meet us in town and the luggage will follow in days. | 1:20:17 | 1:20:21 | |
-Where are we going? -Home. | 1:20:22 | 1:20:25 | |
To England. | 1:20:25 | 1:20:27 | |
And what will happen in England? | 1:20:28 | 1:20:30 | |
You are not well. I will consult with doctors and follow their advice. | 1:20:32 | 1:20:37 | |
Doctors will say whatever you tell them to. | 1:20:39 | 1:20:43 | |
I want what's best for you. You must trust me. | 1:20:45 | 1:20:48 | |
How can I? I know nothing about you. | 1:20:56 | 1:20:58 | |
Very well. | 1:21:06 | 1:21:07 | |
If it's to be hell, | 1:21:09 | 1:21:12 | |
let it be hell. | 1:21:12 | 1:21:13 | |
No more false heavens. | 1:21:16 | 1:21:19 | |
No more damned magic. | 1:21:19 | 1:21:21 | |
You hate me. | 1:21:23 | 1:21:25 | |
But we will see who hates best. | 1:21:27 | 1:21:29 | |
'They tell me I am in England but I don't believe them. | 1:21:54 | 1:21:59 | |
'We lost our way to England.' | 1:22:00 | 1:22:02 | |
'I fell asleep and when I woke we were in colder waters...' | 1:22:04 | 1:22:09 | |
'We had crossed the wide Sargasso Sea.... | 1:22:10 | 1:22:14 | |
'..but we changed course and lost our way. | 1:22:15 | 1:22:19 | |
'This is not England.' | 1:22:23 | 1:22:25 | |
'But I know now why I'm here.' | 1:22:26 | 1:22:30 | |
'I know what I must do.' | 1:22:35 | 1:22:37 | |
