0:01:45 > 0:01:47COACHMAN URGES HORSES ON

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Get up! Get up!

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Get up!

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Get up! Get UP!!

0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Shall we have 'em out, Tom?- Yes.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Your pardon, gentlemen, but I'm obliged to ask you

0:02:14 > 0:02:17to lighten the load up the hill.

0:02:17 > 0:02:24I think you'll have some slight difficulty in...waking my companion.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26< Sir?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28< Sir?!

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Wake up, if you be so kind, sir.

0:02:32 > 0:02:39- No breakfast for me. I never take it.- Breakfast? We're a long way from Dover yet, sir.

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Then what the devil's happening?

0:02:44 > 0:02:49- We are mud-bound, sir, and have been asked to lighten the load.- Ah.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Then it shall be lightened.

0:02:51 > 0:02:56A little help for hard-working horses...

0:02:56 > 0:03:01- is a worthy cause to one who detests work as much as I do.- Indeed, sir.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Being a man of business it would be a serious disability.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07No, I thank you.

0:03:08 > 0:03:15- You, I presume, are not a man of business.- Business? Lord love you, no, sir. Nothing so respectable.

0:03:15 > 0:03:21- You have no cause for alarm. If I were the robber you now suspect...- No, no.

0:03:21 > 0:03:28- ..is it likely that I should travel unattended to the assizes?- You are a lion of the law?- You flatter me.

0:03:28 > 0:03:36I am a jackal rendering service to a far better-fed lion than I shall ever become. When one...

0:03:36 > 0:03:39< WHOA THERE!!

0:03:39 > 0:03:42HORSE WHINNIES

0:03:44 > 0:03:46What do you say, Tom?

0:03:46 > 0:03:51- A horse coming up at a canter. - Coming up at a gallop. Gentlemen,

0:03:51 > 0:03:53in the King's name, both of you.

0:03:53 > 0:03:59It is useless, I fear, to assure you that this is no partner of mine.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01< Ho, there! You!

0:04:01 > 0:04:04< Stand or I shall fire!

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Is that the Dover mail?

0:04:06 > 0:04:11- Why d'you wanna know? - Do you have a Mr Jarvis Lorry?

0:04:11 > 0:04:16- No, Sydney Carton is my name. - I am Jarvis Lorry. Who wants me?

0:04:16 > 0:04:22It's Jerry, master. I've got an urgent despatch from T & Company.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26I know this messenger well. There's nothing to fear.

0:04:26 > 0:04:31I belong to Tellson's Bank. I go to Paris on business. Wait. A crown.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Hello, you! - Yes? > - Come on afoot, please.

0:04:34 > 0:04:40< If you're wearing a pistol, don't let me see your hand go near it.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Whoa! Hello, master.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54"Wait at Dover for Mademoiselle.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57"Recalled to life."

0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Beg pardon, sir? - That will serve for my answer.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05- "Recalled to life." - A blazing strange answer.

0:05:05 > 0:05:11Take back that message. They'll know I received this, as if I wrote myself. Good night, Jerry.

0:05:11 > 0:05:16Good night, sir. "Recalled to life"(!) Come on.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25That was INDEED a blazing strange answer.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28COACHMAN URGES ON HORSES

0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Mornin', sir.- Morning.

0:06:06 > 0:06:11- I want a bedroom and a barber. - Yes, Mr Lorry.- If you please...

0:06:11 > 0:06:15I wish accommodation to be prepared also for a young lady.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19A Miss Manette. She will arrive by the evening mail.

0:06:19 > 0:06:26- I'll have rooms prepared. - I thank you.- Sir? - A bowl of punch.- No bed, sir?

0:06:26 > 0:06:30I seldom keep awake long enough to reach my bed.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Nor can I look forward to being joined by a young lady.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46- You travel home to France, Miss Manette?- I'm going to Paris.

0:06:46 > 0:06:48But England has long been my home.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51You know this country well?

0:06:51 > 0:06:58I used to come here often before the war. It's a pleasure to be able to travel freely again.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07- I fear this is my destination.- Oh...

0:07:13 > 0:07:16How very rude.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19May I hope we shall meet again?

0:07:19 > 0:07:26- Perhaps on the packet ship tomorrow. - It would be a pleasure to me, Mr Darnay.

0:07:32 > 0:07:38- There goes an evil-minded blaggard, if ever I saw one.- Who, Mr Darnay?

0:07:38 > 0:07:42- A most agreeable gentleman. - NOT your Mr Darnay. The other one.

0:07:42 > 0:07:46I might have known you'd have eyes for nobody else.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59Ah. There you are, Sydney!

0:07:59 > 0:08:02- Have you done yet?- There.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Mm-hmm.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Yes... And you've had your bottle, I perceive.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10TWO tonight.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13I dined with our client.

0:08:13 > 0:08:19- Rather, I watched him dine. - You were sound in the matter of the Crown witnesses today.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22- I am always sound.- I don't deny it.

0:08:22 > 0:08:30- If you'd add to it purpose, energy. - Spare me your favourite example of the man I might have been.

0:08:30 > 0:08:36- We began level at school.- Even then I did YOUR exercises. Seldom me own.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Whose fault was that? - 'Twas your fault, my dear Stryver.

0:08:40 > 0:08:48It's been in your nature always to be driving, pressing, shouldering to such a restless degree

0:08:48 > 0:08:53that I had no chance in me own life but in...rust and repose.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58TRUMPET HERALDS ARRIVAL OF COACH

0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Is that the mail I hear?- Yes. If I may point a moral, Sydney...

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Oh... Hello!

0:09:06 > 0:09:09He-ello! What a charming creature!

0:09:09 > 0:09:12Look, Sydney, here.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15Most picturesque. How say you?

0:09:17 > 0:09:22Come, Sydney, show some taste for once. Isn't she truly delightful?

0:09:30 > 0:09:32A pretty little doll.

0:09:32 > 0:09:38Sydney, if you were a fellow of any sensitiveness, any delicacy...

0:09:38 > 0:09:44Oh, but then I know you never mean half you say. A pretty little doll indeed.

0:09:44 > 0:09:51I am not sure, Miss Manette, how much you have learned already from the bank about this...affair.

0:09:51 > 0:09:57Miss Manette, when your father married the English lady who was your mother,

0:09:57 > 0:10:02I, on behalf of Tellson's Bank, was one of the trustees.

0:10:02 > 0:10:09Your father, like many other French gentlemen, left his affairs entirely in Tellson's hands.

0:10:09 > 0:10:16Please understand that I handle this matter as a man of business and therefore a man without sentiment.

0:10:16 > 0:10:22- A mere machine.- ..I'm still waiting for you to begin, sir.- Yes. Yes, I'm going to.

0:10:22 > 0:10:29I find it difficult to relate this in such a way that you will be able to bear the hearing of it.

0:10:29 > 0:10:37- I can bear anything, sir, rather than the insecurity in which you leave me.- You speak collectedly.

0:10:37 > 0:10:41That's good. Now, this story is incomplete.

0:10:41 > 0:10:49It relies largely on information we have received from a man, Defarge, formerly your father's servant.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51According to this man Defarge,

0:10:51 > 0:10:56it appears that, one night, some 18 years ago, your father, Dr Manette,

0:10:56 > 0:11:01was returning home late after attending a case in Paris,

0:11:01 > 0:11:08when he received an urgent summons to the country home of a certain nobleman.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16PEACOCK SCREECHES

0:11:29 > 0:11:31The patient was a young peasant girl.

0:11:31 > 0:11:36The doctor found her suffering from a high fever of the brain.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40To keep her quiet, she had been gagged and tied with sashes.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44No thought was given as to whether she might suffocate.

0:11:44 > 0:11:49It would not have shortened her life by much if she had.

0:11:49 > 0:11:54Although Dr Manette was able to ease her last hours, she died that day

0:11:54 > 0:11:58from the violence she had suffered in body and mind.

0:11:58 > 0:12:05Nor was she the only victim of that nobleman. In the stables was a boy of 17, her brother.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08He was dying from a sword wound.

0:12:08 > 0:12:15It was while Dr Manette attended him that he heard the full story from the servant - a man named Gabelle.

0:12:15 > 0:12:19They were a family of four. My master's tenants.

0:12:19 > 0:12:24So nothing they possessed was their own. Not even their bodies.

0:12:24 > 0:12:29The law allows a father no right to resist a claim on his daughter.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31But their father resisted.

0:12:31 > 0:12:38You're aware that these nobles have the right to harness a tenant to cart? It happened to their father.

0:12:38 > 0:12:44- This boy came set on revenge. My master's a swordsman.- Doctor.

0:12:44 > 0:12:49Yes, my poor fellow, I'm a doctor. Lie quiet now. Let me see to this.

0:12:49 > 0:12:55- My sister...- I've seen your sister. She is...at peace now.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58My OTHER sister...all alone.

0:12:58 > 0:13:07- There's a second sister, only 15, God help her.- Who told you to bring the doctor here?- Monsignor...

0:13:07 > 0:13:11- The boy is suffering so much, I thought, perhaps...- Get OUT!

0:13:14 > 0:13:19Doctor, you were not summoned to listen to the babblings of this hind.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23You... You promise?

0:13:32 > 0:13:35This boy is dead.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38You may forget these serfs.

0:13:38 > 0:13:45I wish to impress upon you that the things you have seen and heard in this house are not to be spoken of.

0:13:45 > 0:13:52'But Dr Manette had a conscience which would not allow him to heed that warning.

0:13:52 > 0:13:57'He felt it was his duty to write a report of the events to the Minister.

0:13:57 > 0:14:01'This action he confided only to his servant Defarge.'

0:14:01 > 0:14:06I tell you, Defarge, as I know what influence these nobles have.

0:14:06 > 0:14:11- Should I be prevented from keeping my promise...- It will be carried out.

0:14:11 > 0:14:15His sister is now alone, and unprotected.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20I promised him to do my best to save her from that "gallant gentleman".

0:14:20 > 0:14:24- My parents... In our village... - She would be safe there.

0:14:24 > 0:14:31- As safe as any child of her people may expect to be in this France. - Then tomorrow you will see to it.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34I must go to my patient.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41He went out of the door. He never came back.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Murdered.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46No, Miss Manette.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48That was not his fate.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52What, then... WAS the manner of his death?

0:14:52 > 0:14:55Miss Manette, Miss Lucie,

0:14:55 > 0:15:01all this time we have had no word of what befell him after he passed through that door.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05We could only conjecture. We never dared to hope.

0:15:05 > 0:15:10And now, after 18 years, he has been found. He is alive.

0:15:10 > 0:15:16Greatly changed, no doubt, but who would not be, after all those years in that vilest of prisons?

0:15:16 > 0:15:21- The Bastille...- But he is alive. And free.

0:15:21 > 0:15:25His old servant is taking care of him - that same Defarge.

0:15:25 > 0:15:33He later married the girl that he had protected, and they keep a wine shop in Paris. We go there tomorrow.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38COCK CROWS

0:15:39 > 0:15:43Oh, Mr Darnay!

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Oh...

0:15:49 > 0:15:54- Madam.- You are NOT Mr Darnay. - Mr Carton.- I'm so sorry.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56But at your service nevertheless.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59I DO beg your pardon, sir.

0:15:59 > 0:16:04- I was under the impression that you were someone else. - Would that I were.

0:16:04 > 0:16:11- Providing always that my wakening was graced by so charming a lady. - Come! The man's not yet sober!

0:16:13 > 0:16:15TWO such charming ladies.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19Ah. You are ready. Now, where IS that porter? Porter!

0:16:19 > 0:16:24I've been to observe the sea. Our crossing should be tolerable.

0:16:24 > 0:16:31- Ah. The ladies' baggage, please. - Oh, the good fortune of some gentlemen. To be bound for France...

0:16:31 > 0:16:37- with a fair lady for escort. - We are travelling, sir, on a matter of business.- I see.

0:16:37 > 0:16:44Then may I wish you an agreeable voyage. And you, sir, an agreeable business trip.

0:16:46 > 0:16:50Goodbye, Prossie. Have a good journey home.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58Perhaps... Perhaps I may offer you

0:16:58 > 0:17:04a small consolation, madam, for the disappointment of being left behind.

0:17:04 > 0:17:08Disappointment?! If ever it was intended that I cross salt water

0:17:08 > 0:17:13d'you suppose Providence would have cast my lot in an island?!

0:17:13 > 0:17:18- COACH DEPARTS - What a strange prejudice.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22France has so much to commend her.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Hey!

0:18:01 > 0:18:04One cask only.

0:18:04 > 0:18:11- One only, Monsieur Defarge? - Even that is more than they have the money to buy.

0:18:11 > 0:18:16- The people will soon forget the taste of wine. - Many have forgotten already.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18We taste nothing but black bread and death.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56We'd do well to bolt the door.

0:18:56 > 0:19:02- Once the tiger's tasted blood... - Tiger? Poor, crazed cattle.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06WILD LAUGHTER

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Enough, Gaspard!

0:19:37 > 0:19:42Your pardon, monsieur. Strangers are rare in this quarter.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45I think you're looking for me. Ernest Defarge.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48My name is Mr Lorry. This is Miss Manette.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Miss Lucie.

0:19:51 > 0:19:53My wife.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00You'll have forgotten ME, I think.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03Follow me closely.

0:20:18 > 0:20:21I'm afraid of it.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Of "it"? What?

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Of him.

0:20:26 > 0:20:28Of my father.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37Good day.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Still hard at work, I see.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Yes, I... I'm working.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54We have a visitor today.

0:20:56 > 0:21:01Show monsieur that shoe you are working at.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Take it, monsieur.

0:21:08 > 0:21:13Now, tell monsieur what kind of shoe it is.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15And the maker's name.

0:21:15 > 0:21:19FALTERINGLY: It's a lady's shoe.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23And the maker's name?

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Um...

0:21:27 > 0:21:29An...

0:21:30 > 0:21:36105 North Tower.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Is that all the name you have?

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Ha...

0:21:45 > 0:21:51105...North Tower.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Monsieur Manette.

0:21:54 > 0:21:56Do you remember nothing of me?

0:21:59 > 0:22:01Do you remember nothing of this man?

0:22:03 > 0:22:07Look at him. Look at me.

0:22:07 > 0:22:11Is there nothing rising in your mind?

0:22:11 > 0:22:14You've recognised him, monsieur?

0:22:14 > 0:22:17Yes, just for a moment.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21I thought at first it was hopeless, but just for a moment...

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Back.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33What is this?

0:22:36 > 0:22:40You're...the jailer's daughter?

0:22:42 > 0:22:46Who are you?

0:22:46 > 0:22:50Oh, my dear. Soon you shall know my name.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53All you need to understand now

0:22:53 > 0:22:56is that your agony is over.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59I have come to take you away.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02Away from France.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04To peace.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07And rest.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Good gentlemen...

0:23:15 > 0:23:19he understands. Thank God.

0:23:32 > 0:23:37- Good morning. Is Miss Lucie at home? - She's out walking with her father.

0:23:37 > 0:23:42- How is Dr Manette?- Progressing. He talks of practising again.

0:23:42 > 0:23:47- She's very devoted. - Well, you'd better come in.

0:23:47 > 0:23:54- I have come to ask certain questions of you as well as Miss Lucie.- Of me?

0:23:54 > 0:23:59You recall a Frenchman, who talked with Miss Lucie in the Dover mail?

0:23:59 > 0:24:02What if I do? He was respectable.

0:24:02 > 0:24:07- I agree. He happens to be a client of mine.- Mr Darnay?

0:24:07 > 0:24:11Charles Darnay. Do you recall another passenger in the coach?

0:24:11 > 0:24:14A foreigner. A man named Barsad?

0:24:14 > 0:24:20- There was an evil-looking ruffian. - Seated beside Mr Darnay?- Yes.

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Good. That is the evidence we want.

0:24:23 > 0:24:29- What's all this about? - I'm afraid my client finds himself in grave trouble.

0:24:29 > 0:24:36He appears to be the victim of a pernicious plot, engineered, I'm sure, by this man Barsad.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39PEACOCK SCREECHES

0:25:00 > 0:25:03What do you want?!

0:25:03 > 0:25:08- There's a Monsieur Barsad here to see you, Monsignor.- Send him in.

0:25:17 > 0:25:25- Father, I hate him!- I know, child. But whilst they have these rights you know what it means to resist.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28If Monsieur Charles came back...

0:25:28 > 0:25:31- And he's already in prison?- Newgate.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34Awaiting his trial.

0:25:34 > 0:25:38Eating and sleeping with the scum of the streets.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42Excellent. A nobleman condemned to live with cattle.

0:25:42 > 0:25:49My cousin will at last begin to appreciate the benefits of our own good French system.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Ah, my dear friend!

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Miss Lucie.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00Dr Manette.

0:26:00 > 0:26:08- Mr Lorry, I'm concerned to hear from Miss Pross about our friend in the Dover mail.- Charles Darnay. Yes.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11He's to appear at the Old Bailey.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13What is the charge against him?

0:26:13 > 0:26:21- Having secret papers relating to naval matters which he's said to have been taking to France.- A spy?

0:26:21 > 0:26:23I don't believe it.

0:26:23 > 0:26:29Nor I, Miss. I'm sure those papers were planted on his person without his knowledge.

0:26:29 > 0:26:34I have engaged an able counsellor for his defence. A man named Stryver.

0:26:34 > 0:26:42- He wishes me to ask if you would be willing to appear in court in Mr Darnay's defence.- Willingly.- Good.

0:26:42 > 0:26:47I shall arrange for you to be escorted by a messenger of the bank.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50RAISED VOICES

0:26:59 > 0:27:03Swam ashore. Be a long time before HE takes a bath again.

0:27:03 > 0:27:10- Don't look, my precious. We'll have caught jail fever already. - I'm going as quick as I can.

0:27:10 > 0:27:15Might as well enjoy the fun while you're... This'll make you laugh.

0:27:15 > 0:27:20- I don't know what he's done, but I bet...- Body-snatching.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23Yes, this way, ladies. Make way!

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Witnesses! Witnesses! Make way!

0:27:26 > 0:27:30Follow me, ladies. Oh, no. We're too late.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Wait till the prisoners go by.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36Which one's your treason, Miss?

0:27:42 > 0:27:45Oh. Good-looking young fellow.

0:27:45 > 0:27:50- Shame what he'll look like soon.- Hold your tongue!- What will they do?

0:27:50 > 0:27:58- No, ladybird, no.- What will they do if he's found guilty?- Well, seeing as how it's treason,

0:27:58 > 0:28:02he'll be drawn on a hurdle and half-hanged. Then he'll be taken down and sliced before his own face.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06His insides'll be taken out and burnt while he looks on.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09His head'll be chopped off and he'll be cut up into quarters.

0:28:09 > 0:28:10That's the sentence.

0:28:10 > 0:28:16It won't happen, precious. We KNOW he's innocent. Get us out of this place!

0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Allow me.- Oh, Mr...Carton.

0:28:21 > 0:28:27The same. A new ache here, of course, but in all other respects the same.

0:28:27 > 0:28:32- Follow me closely. - I'M looking after these ladies, sir.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35Heaven help them.

0:28:44 > 0:28:51The Tyburn mail, a vehicle in which friends assure me I shall...one day have the pleasure of travelling.

0:28:51 > 0:28:56It's a false assumption. I live by crime in what is the easiest way.

0:28:56 > 0:29:04- This is where you go in. Mr Lorry will join you once he and Stryver complete their business.- Mr Carton.

0:29:04 > 0:29:06Are you acquainted with our case?

0:29:08 > 0:29:15- I am PART of your case. Where the great Stryver goes, there follows his jackal.- I did not know.

0:29:15 > 0:29:17Mr Carton.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23Please, you will do your best for Mr Darnay?

0:29:23 > 0:29:30After such a request, I shall be doubly industrious on his behalf.

0:29:34 > 0:29:41Had you any motive, Mr Barsad, apart from your sense of duty to your adopted country,

0:29:41 > 0:29:49- had you any motive for denouncing the prisoner?- None, sir.- Not actuated by thought of gain?- No.

0:29:49 > 0:29:55If I'm offered any reward, I shall decline to take it.

0:30:00 > 0:30:05What first caused you to suspect the prisoner of being a spy?

0:30:05 > 0:30:09The way he was talking in the mail.

0:30:09 > 0:30:17You are sufficiently experienced in the ways of spies to detect one from his conversation?

0:30:17 > 0:30:21- Perhaps I am a little sharper than most.- No doubt.

0:30:21 > 0:30:28- So on account of the prisoner's conversation you decided to follow him when he alighted?- Yes.

0:30:28 > 0:30:36- As a result of which, you saw him handed certain papers by a certain "mysterious stranger".- I did.

0:30:36 > 0:30:42- You hadn't seen them before? - How could I? - Hadn't been in your possession?

0:30:42 > 0:30:49- I don't know what you're talking about!- I am suggesting that you acquired these papers for yourself,

0:30:49 > 0:30:58- and in the darkness of the coach, transferred them to the person... - It's a lie.- ..who stands in the dock,

0:30:58 > 0:31:05- falsely accused to satisfy your own greed for enrichment. - It's a foul lie.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08Those papers were given to him in the dockyard. I wasn't the only one that saw it.

0:31:08 > 0:31:13I've said already I have no wish for a reward.

0:31:13 > 0:31:20Miss Manette, we have heard evidence as to your conversation with the prisoner in the Dover mail.

0:31:20 > 0:31:28- Is there anything we did not hear? - It's impossible to recall every word.- Impossible or inconvenient?!

0:31:28 > 0:31:31I will endeavour to refresh your memory.

0:31:31 > 0:31:37- Did you and the prisoner discuss the recent war with America?- Yes.

0:31:37 > 0:31:42Speak up, please! Now that I have recalled your mind to that event,

0:31:42 > 0:31:49- perhaps you'll be able to tell us what was said about that war.- The gentleman tried to explain to me...

0:31:49 > 0:31:55- D'you mean the prisoner?!- Yes, my lord.- Then SAY "the prisoner".

0:31:55 > 0:31:57The... The prisoner...

0:31:57 > 0:32:02tried to explain to me how that quarrel had arisen.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05- He said...- Yes?

0:32:05 > 0:32:12..He said that as far as he could judge, it was a wrong and foolish one on the part of England.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15GASPS AND MUTTERING Silence!

0:32:15 > 0:32:21- Anything else?- He added, but there was no harm in the way he said this,

0:32:21 > 0:32:25- it was said laughingly and... - What did he add?!

0:32:26 > 0:32:33He added that he thought George Washington might make as great a name in history as...George III.

0:32:33 > 0:32:36ANGRY SHOUTS

0:32:39 > 0:32:41Silence!

0:32:42 > 0:32:45Thank you, Miss Manette.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49Officer, look to that young lady.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53Take her outside. See she gets some fresh air.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57Have we your permission to continue, Mr Carton(?)

0:32:57 > 0:33:00Yes, my lord.

0:33:03 > 0:33:09- And that was the only time that you saw the prisoner? In the dockyard. - Until today.

0:33:09 > 0:33:16- I see the other party and him and the papers, secret like. And I says to meself, "'Ello!"- Yes...

0:33:16 > 0:33:23- Would it surprise you to learn that never has the prisoner been near that dockyard?- What a lie!

0:33:23 > 0:33:31- Look at him now and tell me if you're sure he was the man you saw. - That's him, sir.- You're certain?

0:33:31 > 0:33:34I am, sir.

0:33:34 > 0:33:42- Have you EVER see anyone sufficiently like the prisoner for you to be mistaken?- Not as I recall.

0:33:42 > 0:33:47Look well upon this gentleman, my learned friend here. Stand up.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50Let the witness see you.

0:33:57 > 0:34:01That's right. Remove your wig.

0:34:15 > 0:34:19And now look well again upon the prisoner. How say you?

0:34:19 > 0:34:23- Do you detect some resemblance? - There is a likeness.

0:34:23 > 0:34:29When I now reveal my learned friend was in Dover on the day in question,

0:34:29 > 0:34:35would you agree that you might have seen him and mistaken him for the prisoner?

0:34:35 > 0:34:43- Am I to take it, Mr Stryver, that we shall next have to try Mr Carton for treason?- I trust not, my lord.

0:34:43 > 0:34:50I seek to illustrate that the prisoner is not more memorable by virtue of his appearance

0:34:50 > 0:34:52than many others of his age.

0:34:52 > 0:34:58Whatever the verdict, I congratulate you on a most able defence.

0:34:58 > 0:35:05- I have done my best, sir, and my best is as good as another man's, I believe.- Not much better(?)

0:35:05 > 0:35:11- It was on the tip of my tongue. - Impudent fellow, my junior.

0:35:11 > 0:35:16- How is Miss Manette?- The better for being out of that court.

0:35:16 > 0:35:22- The prisoner's distressed to have caused you such...agitation. - You saw Mr Darnay?

0:35:22 > 0:35:29- He asked me to tell you that with his fervent apologies. - Will you be seeing him again?

0:35:29 > 0:35:36- I would so much like to ask his forgiveness. - For neglecting to commit perjury?

0:35:36 > 0:35:38It's a grave failing in a witness.

0:35:38 > 0:35:44- Let us hope that you'll be able to express your own regrets to him. - Oh...if I might.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48What does Mr Darnay expect?

0:35:48 > 0:35:50The worst.

0:35:50 > 0:35:55- It's the wisest thing TO expect. And the likeliest.- Jury's back.

0:36:03 > 0:36:07- Have you reached a verdict?- We have.

0:36:07 > 0:36:11How say you? Do you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty?

0:36:11 > 0:36:13Not guilty.

0:36:13 > 0:36:17PEOPLE CHATTER SILENCE!

0:36:17 > 0:36:21The prisoner is discharged!

0:36:36 > 0:36:41I am only just beginning to feel that I belong to this world again.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45It must be an immense satisfaction to you.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48As to me, the greatest desire I have

0:36:48 > 0:36:51is to forget that I belong to it.

0:36:51 > 0:36:55It has no good in it for me. Except wine like this.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58Nor I for it.

0:36:58 > 0:37:02So we're not much alike in THAT particular.

0:37:02 > 0:37:08Indeed, I begin to think we're not much alike in ANY particular, you and I.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10I'm glad the jury thought otherwise.

0:37:10 > 0:37:18- I believe it was our likeness which turned the scale against Barsad.- You must be on your guard against him.

0:37:18 > 0:37:22- I don't think he'll dare denounce me again.- Nor anyone else.

0:37:22 > 0:37:28- You deprived him of a good living. - Perhaps my ordeal was worthwhile.

0:37:30 > 0:37:37Don't take this too lightly, my friend. One acquittal usually means ruin for a common informer.

0:37:37 > 0:37:45- Mr Barsad must take revenge quickly. I leave in a few days for France. - No doubt, you'll soon be back.

0:37:47 > 0:37:51Does this country not hold a certain irresistible attraction?

0:37:53 > 0:37:57Why don't you call her health, Mr Darnay?

0:37:57 > 0:38:01Why don't you give your toast?

0:38:01 > 0:38:03What toast?

0:38:03 > 0:38:06It's on the tip of your tongue.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10It OUGHT to be.

0:38:10 > 0:38:14It MUST be. I'll swear it's there.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21Miss Manette...then.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25Miss Manette...then.

0:38:30 > 0:38:35That's a fair young lady to hand to her coach in the dark, Mr Darnay.

0:38:35 > 0:38:42A fair young lady to be pitied by and wept for by. How does it feel? Worth being tried for one's life?

0:38:42 > 0:38:46You puzzle me. I probably owe my life to you,

0:38:46 > 0:38:51yet it now becomes apparent that you have no liking at all for me.

0:38:51 > 0:38:58- There is nothing in your dislike of me to prevent my calling the reckoning?- The whole reckoning?- Yes.

0:38:58 > 0:39:01Then bring me another bottle!

0:39:01 > 0:39:03Good night.

0:39:22 > 0:39:26Why should I like a man because he resembles me?

0:39:26 > 0:39:29There's nothing in ME to like.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34I am a disappointed drudge, sir.

0:39:36 > 0:39:38I care for no man on Earth.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43And no man on Earth cares for me.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15PIERCING SCREAM

0:40:18 > 0:40:22HE CRIES HYSTERICALLY

0:40:22 > 0:40:25What has gone wrong?

0:40:25 > 0:40:28Monsieur le Marquis, it's a child.

0:40:28 > 0:40:30Why is he making that abominable noise?

0:40:30 > 0:40:34- Is it his child?- It is a pity. Yes.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37He's dead! He's dead!

0:40:37 > 0:40:40You killed him!

0:40:40 > 0:40:47Why can you not take better care of yourselves and your children? Take that.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51He's dead! You've killed him.

0:40:51 > 0:40:56I know. I saw it all. Be brave, my Gaspard.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01Who threw that?!

0:41:01 > 0:41:03You dogs!

0:41:03 > 0:41:07I would ride over all of you willingly and exterminate you from the earth.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13- Drive on!- Get up there!

0:41:27 > 0:41:30PEACOCK SCREECHES

0:41:52 > 0:41:58Ah, there he is, fresh from his English jail. Charles.

0:42:02 > 0:42:07- My cousin Charles, monsieur. - My respects, monsieur.

0:42:07 > 0:42:12Your cousin has told me about you. A young man with strange views.

0:42:12 > 0:42:17He may have moderated those views.

0:42:17 > 0:42:22To me, it's preposterous that this is a farming estate,

0:42:22 > 0:42:28yet there isn't one family in the village there which has even bread to eat tonight.

0:42:28 > 0:42:33Let them eat grass. That's what I always say. Let them eat grass.

0:42:34 > 0:42:40Charles, you do not appear to have learnt very much from your little lesson.

0:42:40 > 0:42:45You speak, sir, as if my misadventure was not entirely chance.

0:42:45 > 0:42:52I warned you, I will not tolerate the spreading of disaffection among my tenants!

0:42:52 > 0:42:59You needn't concern yourself any more on that account. I am here only to collect my few small belongings,

0:42:59 > 0:43:07- after which you'll see no more of me.- How do you intend to live?

0:43:07 > 0:43:12I must do what the noblest of my countrymen may have to do one day. Work.

0:43:12 > 0:43:16- In England, for instance? - Yes, in England.

0:43:16 > 0:43:23With a name as hated as ours, France holds nothing for me. In England, I have another name.

0:43:23 > 0:43:31You may as well know now, my visit there was for the express purpose of planning my future life.

0:43:31 > 0:43:37- We must not keep you from her a moment longer than necessary. - Goodbye, sir.

0:43:37 > 0:43:38Goodbye.

0:44:13 > 0:44:18WOMAN SCREAMS

0:44:34 > 0:44:38"Drive him fast...to his tomb."

0:45:08 > 0:45:16- He's here again.- Who is? - A man has been frightening Prossie for the past few weeks.

0:45:16 > 0:45:23- He appears to haunt this street. A drunken man.- He pretends to be drunk. How do we know he really is?

0:45:23 > 0:45:29- Your father's a Frenchie. These Frenchies with all their spies. - Let me look.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32KNOCK ON DOOR

0:45:32 > 0:45:36I wanted the... Doctor. Come quick.

0:45:36 > 0:45:40I'll come at once. Run back and have some water on the boil.

0:45:43 > 0:45:47I'll walk with him. Keep an eye on him. Just in case.

0:45:47 > 0:45:51- That drunkard's gone. - Don't wait up for me.

0:45:51 > 0:45:55Good night, my darling. Good night, Miss Pross.

0:45:58 > 0:46:05Doctor. I've been awaiting an opportunity to ask if I might come and see you in private.

0:46:05 > 0:46:08- You're ill, Charles?- Oh...no, sir.

0:46:08 > 0:46:11- It's not my health.- Ah.

0:46:11 > 0:46:19Then, if it's what I think, you'd better come before I take surgery in the morning.

0:46:19 > 0:46:25If you ask me, he's hiding behind that tree. There, he moved! I knew it.

0:46:25 > 0:46:31- He's VERY intoxicated. - Why should a drunken man trouble to hide himself from the doctor?

0:46:46 > 0:46:50- Stop! It may be a prank. - I can't. He's hurt.

0:46:53 > 0:46:55It's Mr Carton.

0:46:55 > 0:46:58That'll cause MORE worry for us.

0:46:58 > 0:47:01He's hurt his head.

0:47:01 > 0:47:03Lucie...

0:47:03 > 0:47:05Beautiful Lucie...

0:47:07 > 0:47:09Mr Carton?

0:47:09 > 0:47:14Can you walk? Just a little way. Help me, Prossie.

0:47:14 > 0:47:16Oh!

0:47:16 > 0:47:23Leave him be, I say. Disreputable sot! What's he up to here? That's what I want to know!

0:47:23 > 0:47:28Frightening us out of our wits and falling about all over our street.

0:47:28 > 0:47:30This way, Mr Carton.

0:47:30 > 0:47:33Carefully.

0:47:33 > 0:47:35Down here.

0:47:35 > 0:47:40My humble pardon. I...never intended to venture into this house.

0:47:40 > 0:47:47- Prossie, would you brew a pot of coffee?- I'll not leave you alone with a man in his state!- Nonsense.

0:47:47 > 0:47:50I wouldn't touch a hair of her head.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53Of course not.

0:47:58 > 0:48:03It's a very bad bruise. I must bathe it. And then some ointment.

0:48:03 > 0:48:07- I'm not worthy of your kindness. - No. It's not much to do.

0:48:07 > 0:48:11Mr Carton, d'you reside hereabouts?

0:48:11 > 0:48:15Miss Pross believes that she has frequently seen you.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18- I come here every night. - Every night?

0:48:18 > 0:48:21Here?

0:48:21 > 0:48:23To be near you.

0:48:25 > 0:48:29Get drunk...must be near you.

0:48:32 > 0:48:35My pardon.

0:48:36 > 0:48:38I alarm you...

0:48:38 > 0:48:42There's...no necessity to be alarmed.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48I love you...

0:48:48 > 0:48:50no harm to it.

0:48:52 > 0:48:54Never ask...any return.

0:48:54 > 0:48:57I did not know.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00Why should you?

0:49:00 > 0:49:02It's ridiculous.

0:49:03 > 0:49:07A beautiful girl, sweet and beautiful.

0:49:09 > 0:49:12A no-good drunken waster.

0:49:13 > 0:49:16- D'you know what?- Head back.

0:49:18 > 0:49:21If you said, "Return that man's love."

0:49:23 > 0:49:26Ridiculous.

0:49:26 > 0:49:28But if you said that...

0:49:28 > 0:49:32I wouldn't let you. No, I wouldn't let you.

0:49:34 > 0:49:38I'd only drag you down into...misery and disgrace.

0:49:42 > 0:49:46Why am I telling you all this? I never meant to speak of it.

0:49:46 > 0:49:53- Now that I know, is there not SOME way in which I may help you? - None. Hopeless.

0:49:55 > 0:49:57When I first saw you,

0:49:57 > 0:50:00I-I thought...

0:50:00 > 0:50:04just...just for a moment...

0:50:06 > 0:50:08..I thought...

0:50:08 > 0:50:11I knew then...

0:50:11 > 0:50:13I tried not to think of it again.

0:50:13 > 0:50:18It's hopeless. Too late to start again. To strive again.

0:50:18 > 0:50:25- But you can! You're young! - Too late. A dream, all a dream, ends in nothing.

0:50:27 > 0:50:30But a beautiful dream.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32You inspired it.

0:50:34 > 0:50:38Then have I no power for good with you? No power at all?

0:50:40 > 0:50:43Keep my secret.

0:50:43 > 0:50:45Never share it.

0:50:45 > 0:50:50Never forget it. Do you promise?

0:50:51 > 0:50:53That I promise.

0:50:53 > 0:50:55Willingly.

0:50:56 > 0:50:58It's all I need.

0:50:58 > 0:51:01All I ask. A small matter.

0:51:01 > 0:51:06When I die, one good thing to remember.

0:51:07 > 0:51:12My name, my faults, my miseries, all carried in your heart.

0:51:12 > 0:51:15Never shall I forget.

0:51:17 > 0:51:19Anything ever I could do for you...

0:51:19 > 0:51:24keep in your mind. Know that I would do it.

0:51:25 > 0:51:28Anything.

0:51:30 > 0:51:33Enough. Useless talk.

0:51:34 > 0:51:36I only distress you.

0:51:36 > 0:51:41- Not worthy of such feeling. - What's this?!

0:51:41 > 0:51:43I have coffee to sober you!

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Who wants to be sober?

0:51:54 > 0:52:00Believe me, Doctor, it's the last thing I want ever to part you from her again.

0:52:00 > 0:52:08What I ask, as a fellow exile, is to be allowed to share this new life with you. If Lucie will accept.

0:52:10 > 0:52:15Lucie, of course, is the whole world to me.

0:52:15 > 0:52:19Without her, my return to life would mean nothing.

0:52:19 > 0:52:26But if you are essential to her happiness, and I truly believe you are, then I must give her to you.

0:52:26 > 0:52:30You shall never have cause to regret your faith in me.

0:52:30 > 0:52:35- BELL RINGS - Go speak to her. That is a patient I hear.

0:52:35 > 0:52:40Doctor...before I see her, there is one thing I should tell you.

0:52:40 > 0:52:48- My name in exile is not my true name. - I take you as I've come to know you. Tell me nothing more.

0:52:48 > 0:52:55- But, sir... - No, don't speak. You've been told what happened to me 20 years ago.

0:52:55 > 0:53:01If my future son-in-law is a past aristocrat, I'd prefer not to know it.

0:53:05 > 0:53:08Mr Carton.

0:53:08 > 0:53:13- Mr Carton!- Miss Manette, I'm here for a moment only,

0:53:13 > 0:53:17because I'm not a man who takes much time over apologies.

0:53:17 > 0:53:24- I find myself owing so many it's easier to dispense with the whole business.- Then do so.- I would...

0:53:24 > 0:53:27but for one thing.

0:53:27 > 0:53:34I know from my hazy recollection that my behaviour last night was unpardonable.

0:53:34 > 0:53:40That doesn't concern me - it often is. But you made me a promise which I recall clearly.

0:53:40 > 0:53:43It shall be respected.

0:53:44 > 0:53:49Thank you. That was my chief concern in coming here.

0:53:49 > 0:53:53Lest you might simply have been humouring a drunken fool.

0:53:53 > 0:53:59- Is it not often said that the truth emerges at such times? - And true, they say.

0:53:59 > 0:54:07In all my drunken babbling there was not one false word. That's what I wanted you to know.

0:54:07 > 0:54:11You may rest assured that I shall never refer to this again.

0:54:11 > 0:54:13Charles.

0:54:13 > 0:54:18Come in, Darnay, I was about to take my leave.

0:54:21 > 0:54:25- Goodbye, Miss Manette. - Goodbye, Mr Carton.

0:54:28 > 0:54:34You're not your usual loving self today, Miss Pross. No invitations to coffee(?)

0:54:34 > 0:54:37- Oh, wait.- What is it now?!

0:54:37 > 0:54:41Something I should've remembered to tell Mr Darnay.

0:54:48 > 0:54:56- My profoundest apologies.- Mr Carton. You shall be the first to hear our news.- Charles.- We are to be married.

0:54:59 > 0:55:02I congratulate you most sincerely.

0:55:02 > 0:55:06I'm sure that nobody could make you happier.

0:55:06 > 0:55:13For my part, I have a piece of news which will be your first wedding present.

0:55:13 > 0:55:20- I came to tell you you have nothing to fear. Barsad is no longer with us.- Oh?

0:55:20 > 0:55:26He's dead. Took a false step into the river. I passed his funeral.

0:55:26 > 0:55:29That's a relief indeed.

0:55:30 > 0:55:35Though...he could have chosen a better moment to inform us.

0:55:40 > 0:55:45- This is the right one? - Yes, Barsad's grave.

0:55:45 > 0:55:51- You said he was only a little 'un. - He must've fattened himself up.

0:55:51 > 0:55:56- HE didn't die of hunger. - DOGS BARK, FOOTSTEPS

0:56:00 > 0:56:02All quiet.

0:56:11 > 0:56:16And how much is THAT worth to them medical doctors(?)

0:56:16 > 0:56:19Slippery viper. Swindling honest tradesmen.

0:56:19 > 0:56:26- First one I've met that didn't turn up at his own funeral. - Lost his reputation...

0:56:26 > 0:56:28now he has to make a new start.

0:56:28 > 0:56:31Let's put him back.

0:56:31 > 0:56:35Just like Barsad! Can't even be trusted to croak.

0:57:02 > 0:57:04Good day, madame.

0:57:08 > 0:57:10A glass of old cognac.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16They have taken Gaspard!

0:57:16 > 0:57:19Oh. Um...

0:57:27 > 0:57:30Poor Gaspard.

0:57:30 > 0:57:33You are acquainted with Gaspard?

0:57:33 > 0:57:38I know him only as the assassin of the Marquis St Evremonde.

0:57:39 > 0:57:42This is my husband.

0:57:44 > 0:57:47Good day, Jacques.

0:57:47 > 0:57:51You deceive yourself, monsieur. My name is Ernest Defarge.

0:57:51 > 0:57:54Quite so.

0:57:54 > 0:58:01But isn't it the custom for those of...certain sympathies to address one another as Jacques?

0:58:01 > 0:58:08- You may address ME as Jacques.- Who sent you here to spy on us?- What gave you such a preposterous idea?

0:58:08 > 0:58:15- No-one but a spy of the aristocrats would dare to speak to us like that. - Or a far-sighted person?

0:58:15 > 0:58:19- One who sees which way the wind is blowing. - What wind, monsieur?

0:58:19 > 0:58:22You know very well, Jacques.

0:58:22 > 0:58:28The first puff of that wind swept the Marquis St Evremonde to his grave.

0:58:29 > 0:58:35I think you'll be interested to have news of his cousin, the new Marquis.

0:58:35 > 0:58:37He's settled in England. We know.

0:58:37 > 0:58:42Yes, and getting married. Did you know that too?

0:58:42 > 0:58:47You should have, for you're acquainted with his bride-to-be.

0:58:47 > 0:58:51- To whom do you refer? - Why, to Miss Manette.

0:58:51 > 0:58:57Didn't she call here once to claim her father, the poor, oppressed doctor?

0:58:57 > 0:59:03You see, I make it my business to find out these things.

0:59:03 > 0:59:07I could be a very useful comrade...

0:59:07 > 0:59:09Jacques.

0:59:16 > 0:59:22- Never before have I unpacked for a man! - Honeymoons go all too quickly.

0:59:22 > 0:59:29- They shall soon be back. - Have the guests all gone? - Mr Carton is here. He took a nap.

0:59:29 > 0:59:37I'm sure he did(!) Why our ladybird ever wanted to invite HIM I shall never understand!

0:59:46 > 0:59:49Doctor! Oh...Mr Carton!

0:59:49 > 0:59:52Oh, Doctor, what is it?! Mr Carton!

0:59:52 > 0:59:56Mr Carton! Oh! Come quickly! The doctor...

1:00:06 > 1:00:10THUNDER RUMBLES

1:00:15 > 1:00:21To me, it seems a symbol. I wonder - are they having it out there?

1:00:21 > 1:00:24In France, you mean?

1:00:24 > 1:00:28There's a storm coming to them surely enough,

1:00:28 > 1:00:31though whether by the hand of nature...

1:00:31 > 1:00:37Such a storm it's likely to be, but if ever a nation's rulers invited...

1:00:40 > 1:00:43Good gracious! I've been asleep.

1:00:43 > 1:00:47And look at the hour! What sort of a host you must think me!

1:00:47 > 1:00:51You've not slept alone. It's this excellent wine of yours.

1:00:51 > 1:00:54Half-undressed... I'm truly ashamed.

1:00:54 > 1:00:59- We all partook too freely. - Not you, Mr Lorry!

1:00:59 > 1:01:05Worse than either of us, Doctor. His snoring shamed the thunder.

1:01:05 > 1:01:07I've...

1:01:07 > 1:01:10I don't seem to remember...

1:01:10 > 1:01:13Nor I. A shocking state of affairs.

1:01:14 > 1:01:19- Leaving the heavens to awake us. - THUNDER CRASHES

1:01:19 > 1:01:21This is a storm indeed.

1:01:21 > 1:01:25Enough to bring the dead out of their graves.

1:01:28 > 1:01:30< Jack 15!

1:01:32 > 1:01:36Give me something to kill with!

1:01:42 > 1:01:44Jack 19.

1:01:44 > 1:01:45You take it.

1:01:50 > 1:01:53The armoury! That's the place for muskets!

1:02:13 > 1:02:16Stand away or we shall fire!

1:02:16 > 1:02:20Fire! I said, Number 2 Company, fire!

1:02:21 > 1:02:25CHEERING

1:02:36 > 1:02:38The guards have gone over.

1:02:41 > 1:02:42Yes!

1:04:58 > 1:05:01You're the one who shot the people down!

1:05:01 > 1:05:04Stand aside!

1:05:06 > 1:05:08Throw 'em in the north tower, quick!

1:05:10 > 1:05:16What is the meaning of 105 North Tower?

1:05:16 > 1:05:20- The meaning?- Is it a captive or a place of captivity?

1:05:20 > 1:05:24- Or do you want to die?! - It is a cell number.

1:05:24 > 1:05:29- Show it to me.- Follow me.- Come on!

1:06:00 > 1:06:04DRUNKEN, CELEBRATORY HUBBUB

1:06:04 > 1:06:06You found it!

1:06:07 > 1:06:09In 105 North Tower.

1:06:09 > 1:06:12We've got old Foulon!

1:06:12 > 1:06:16- Foulon?! - He who told us to eat grass!

1:06:16 > 1:06:20He's eating grass now in the very place we last met him!

1:07:03 > 1:07:09- Can you not wait a little longer before you leave for France? - Impossible, Miss.

1:07:09 > 1:07:12If you saw the chaos in Paris...

1:07:12 > 1:07:15There'll be danger every mile from Calais.

1:07:15 > 1:07:20They'll be too busy to interfere with an old fellow like me.

1:07:20 > 1:07:23Jerry Cruncher will be my bodyguard.

1:07:23 > 1:07:29- Won't you change your mind? - Even as we speak, Paris may be afire or sacked,

1:07:29 > 1:07:32our customers' property burned or plundered.

1:07:32 > 1:07:35- You cannot save it. - Maybe not.

1:07:35 > 1:07:40But in a tidy business way, I can record all changes of assets.

1:07:40 > 1:07:44- If there's anything of yours... - There's nothing of mine in France!

1:07:56 > 1:07:58Tell me only what the charge is!

1:07:58 > 1:08:03What I did for my new master was in your interests!

1:08:03 > 1:08:05- Let me only write to him!- Father!

1:08:06 > 1:08:14- Not my daughter! Hold me responsible, but not these others! - Father, don't let them take me!

1:08:14 > 1:08:18Don't blame her! What have any of these others done?

1:08:18 > 1:08:20You ate whilst we starved!

1:08:24 > 1:08:27Hello, Carton.

1:08:27 > 1:08:34- I'm afraid Lucie's out, she and the doctor.- I made sure they would be before I came here to deliver this.

1:08:36 > 1:08:41I was visiting the bank this morning and saw it in the rack.

1:08:43 > 1:08:45How did you know it was for me?

1:08:51 > 1:08:55- Where did you get that? - It was among your possessions.

1:08:55 > 1:08:59- How did you come by it?- I stole it the night Dr Manette took ill.

1:08:59 > 1:09:03Curiosity impelled me to trace its noble origin.

1:09:03 > 1:09:10When I saw the same name on that letter and identified you as a French nobleman,

1:09:10 > 1:09:17I was prepared to discover some disgrace in your past to explain your rebirth as Darnay.

1:09:17 > 1:09:20I'm sure you would have found it most welcome!

1:09:20 > 1:09:23I was truly thinking more of Lucie.

1:09:23 > 1:09:26Then, allow me to reassure you.

1:09:26 > 1:09:34I disclaimed my title and, with it, my estate solely because this name is one of the most hated in France.

1:09:36 > 1:09:43Before asking Lucie to marry me, I decided to renounce it completely, wash my hands of it.

1:09:43 > 1:09:46How simple it all sounds.

1:09:46 > 1:09:48Far simpler than I'd imagined.

1:09:48 > 1:09:53Goodbye to France, farewell to all responsibilities.

1:09:55 > 1:09:59Shall I burn that letter? You have no cause to read it.

1:09:59 > 1:10:02It comes from Gabelle...

1:10:02 > 1:10:05the man I left in charge of my estate.

1:10:05 > 1:10:10I sent him instructions long ago to give the people their freedom.

1:10:10 > 1:10:13Devil take it!

1:10:14 > 1:10:17You were right to chide me.

1:10:17 > 1:10:22Gabelle and his daughter have been imprisoned in La Force in Paris.

1:10:22 > 1:10:25He fears for their lives.

1:10:30 > 1:10:32I have been selfish.

1:10:32 > 1:10:40I should have gone back to France when my cousin died, worked out and supervised all I meant to do.

1:10:40 > 1:10:46Carton...I'd be obliged if you'd say nothing to Lucie of this.

1:10:46 > 1:10:50She would only share my own concern about it and...

1:10:50 > 1:10:53she's not in a condition now to be worried.

1:10:53 > 1:10:59We... we haven't voiced it abroad yet...

1:10:59 > 1:11:02Our child is due in the spring.

1:11:05 > 1:11:07I see.

1:11:09 > 1:11:15In view of that...I hope you won't contemplate doing anything foolish.

1:11:15 > 1:11:18You must let me make my own decision.

1:11:34 > 1:11:39- Lucie!- Forgive me for disturbing you at your work...- My work!

1:11:39 > 1:11:44- You once said if there was anything you could do for me...- And meant it.

1:11:44 > 1:11:46Charles has gone to France.

1:11:46 > 1:11:51You will see why. Some servants are in danger. Sydney, I must go to him.

1:11:51 > 1:11:57I need a permit. I'd have asked Mr Lorry, but he's in Paris already.

1:11:57 > 1:12:00- It would be most unwise to go to France now.- I must!

1:12:00 > 1:12:04You may not know, but Charles' family were aristocrats.

1:12:06 > 1:12:09- Yes, I knew.- You knew?- Mm-hm.

1:12:09 > 1:12:13- Then, you will understand... - You can't...- I must!

1:12:13 > 1:12:17I know he's in danger! I must go to him!

1:12:24 > 1:12:28- He arrived by himself?- Yes. - Bring him to me.

1:12:28 > 1:12:31- Is Citizen Defarge here? - Yes.

1:12:31 > 1:12:35Another from the list supplied by your excellent wife.

1:12:35 > 1:12:41Charles Darnay - or, as he would prefer not to be known, the Marquis St Evremonde.

1:12:41 > 1:12:46Darnay? But I thought he was lost to us - living in England.

1:12:49 > 1:12:51Your age, Evremonde?

1:12:51 > 1:12:54My name is Darnay.

1:12:54 > 1:12:56Your age, Evremonde?

1:12:56 > 1:12:5827.

1:12:58 > 1:13:02- Married, Evremonde?- Yes. - Where is your wife?

1:13:02 > 1:13:05- England. - Without doubt.

1:13:06 > 1:13:10You're consigned, Evremonde, to the prison of La Force.

1:13:10 > 1:13:15Just heaven! Under what law and for what offence?

1:13:15 > 1:13:20We have new laws, Evremonde, and new offences since you were here.

1:13:20 > 1:13:27I invite you to observe that I have come here voluntarily, in response to this appeal.

1:13:27 > 1:13:31- I'm not interested.- I surely have the right to be heard.

1:13:31 > 1:13:37Emigrants have no rights, Evremonde. There's a new decree confiscating their property...

1:13:37 > 1:13:39But I have no property.

1:13:39 > 1:13:44..And condemning to death all who return.

1:13:44 > 1:13:45Take him away.

1:14:23 > 1:14:25Hello.

1:14:38 > 1:14:39Monsieur Charles!

1:14:41 > 1:14:43Marie!

1:14:43 > 1:14:46It's good to see a friend...

1:14:48 > 1:14:52..though I wish it were somewhere else. Tell me - your father?

1:14:54 > 1:14:57Ah...I'm too late.

1:14:57 > 1:14:59Yesterday.

1:14:59 > 1:15:05- I asked to be tried with him, but they wouldn't listen. - Thank God for that!

1:15:05 > 1:15:08My cause is yours, Marie!

1:15:08 > 1:15:10And it's a good cause.

1:15:10 > 1:15:13We'll go out free together.

1:15:13 > 1:15:17You do not know them, Monsieur Charles.

1:15:17 > 1:15:20What did he ever do except be kind?

1:15:22 > 1:15:25Oh, I loved him so.

1:15:40 > 1:15:42Why, yes!

1:15:42 > 1:15:46My wife! A pleasing day, eh?

1:15:46 > 1:15:49- A beautiful day! - 47 heads!

1:15:49 > 1:15:51- I've got good news for you.- Yes?

1:15:51 > 1:15:54Come here! Sit down!

1:15:54 > 1:15:58The first name on your register - here, in Paris!

1:15:58 > 1:16:00Evremonde?

1:16:00 > 1:16:03I took him myself to La Force.

1:16:04 > 1:16:07At last! Evremonde!

1:16:07 > 1:16:10- Is he alone? - His wife is still in England.

1:16:10 > 1:16:15He asked me to communicate with her father. I refused.

1:16:15 > 1:16:22You refused? But why? That information is the one certain way of bringing her here.

1:16:22 > 1:16:27- Dr Manette has surely suffered enough.- I'm not concerned with him!

1:16:27 > 1:16:34- His daughter is an Evremonde now! - If she's punished for her marriage, it'll mean fresh anguish for him!

1:16:34 > 1:16:38Anguish? You talk to me of anguish?

1:16:38 > 1:16:45What is one daughter beside a father, brother, sister, all dead at the hands of that family?

1:16:45 > 1:16:47She is not of their blood.

1:16:47 > 1:16:52He's married six months. What if there's a child on the way?

1:16:52 > 1:16:54An Evremonde?

1:16:54 > 1:17:02I've had the family for a long time on my register for extermination to the last of the line.

1:17:02 > 1:17:05Isn't that so?

1:17:07 > 1:17:09It is so.

1:17:09 > 1:17:15Then, tell wind and fire where to stop, but don't tell me!

1:17:32 > 1:17:34- Alexander Manette? - Yes.

1:17:34 > 1:17:37French? Physician? Good.

1:17:37 > 1:17:39Lucie Darnay...French.

1:17:39 > 1:17:43This is my daughter.

1:17:43 > 1:17:46Emily Pross.

1:17:46 > 1:17:49- English? - Yes, and proud of it!

1:17:49 > 1:17:51Is this your first visit to France?

1:17:51 > 1:17:56- Yes, and I hope my last! - Prossie! She's my companion.

1:17:56 > 1:17:59Oh? Sooner yours than mine!

1:18:02 > 1:18:04Where is the fourth passenger?

1:18:06 > 1:18:07Hey!

1:18:07 > 1:18:09Wake up!

1:18:09 > 1:18:12Come on! Wake up!

1:18:12 > 1:18:15Patience, my good citizen, patience.

1:18:20 > 1:18:24It's bad enough to rob a man of his dream.

1:18:26 > 1:18:31- Don't put your hand on me. I am no aristocrat.- That's very true!

1:18:31 > 1:18:34Sydney Carton, advocate.

1:18:34 > 1:18:36English.

1:18:36 > 1:18:39What brings YOU to France?

1:18:39 > 1:18:43Your wines, my good citizen. What else?

1:18:48 > 1:18:49Proceed.

1:19:06 > 1:19:08They're back, master!

1:19:13 > 1:19:17Don't do anything to attract their attention.

1:19:19 > 1:19:24- Can't they be stopped from coming here? - It's a convenient spot.

1:19:24 > 1:19:27- Well... - We dare not protest.

1:19:31 > 1:19:34There's blood on them blades.

1:19:38 > 1:19:41- It's too horrible to watch! - Ain't it?!

1:19:41 > 1:19:47I'm like you, master - scares me to the marrow, but, oh...

1:19:47 > 1:19:50I just have to keep on looking!

1:19:58 > 1:20:01- Mr Lorry! - What?

1:20:01 > 1:20:04- You expecting visitors? - No.

1:20:04 > 1:20:07God help them whoever they are!

1:20:07 > 1:20:10It's Dr Manette!

1:20:10 > 1:20:13YELLING

1:20:16 > 1:20:21Stop! Stop! This is a prisoner from the Bastille.

1:20:21 > 1:20:25It's true, friends - 18 years in the Bastille!

1:20:36 > 1:20:40Can these be the people I used to know?

1:20:40 > 1:20:45Brutality leads to more brutality. They don't even have trials now!

1:20:45 > 1:20:50Don't heed it, precious! What would a banker know about it?

1:20:52 > 1:20:54What have I said?

1:20:54 > 1:20:58- Charles Darnay is a prisoner in La Force.- Heaven forgive me!

1:20:58 > 1:21:02We heard the news but an hour ago.

1:21:02 > 1:21:06Dr Manette hopes to plead for him at the tribunal.

1:21:06 > 1:21:12All will surely be well, judging by the esteem they show for him. SHOUTING

1:21:14 > 1:21:17If we're still in time.

1:21:17 > 1:21:20HUBBUB

1:21:23 > 1:21:28Any help I gave my father was only for the good of our neighbours.

1:21:28 > 1:21:33He was a kind man. He did his very best for them.

1:21:33 > 1:21:40Your father was executed as an enemy of the people! Do you dare to impugn the justice of this tribunal?

1:21:43 > 1:21:45How say you?

1:21:45 > 1:21:49- Guilty.- Death - within four-and-twenty fours!

1:21:59 > 1:22:02Charles Evremonde called Darnay.

1:22:03 > 1:22:06BOOING AND JEERING

1:22:19 > 1:22:23I knew Darnay was not his true name!

1:22:23 > 1:22:30Charles Evremonde, or Darnay, you are accused as an emigrant, whose life is forfeit to the Republic,

1:22:30 > 1:22:34under the decree that banishes all emigrants on pain of death.

1:22:34 > 1:22:36Enemy of the Republic!

1:22:36 > 1:22:40YELLING

1:22:42 > 1:22:45What have you to say, emigrant?

1:22:47 > 1:22:50I submit that I am not an emigrant.

1:22:50 > 1:22:53I left this country more than a year ago

1:22:53 > 1:22:57to live by my own industry in England...

1:22:58 > 1:23:03..sooner than live on the industry of the overladen people of France.

1:23:03 > 1:23:07- Have you proof of this? - YELLING

1:23:11 > 1:23:14Yes, I have.

1:23:14 > 1:23:19The truth of my statement will be confirmed by Dr Manette - there.

1:23:24 > 1:23:26I am Alexander Manette,

1:23:26 > 1:23:30prisoner for 18 years in the Bastille.

1:23:30 > 1:23:32MUTTERING

1:23:32 > 1:23:38I was released nearly two years ago and settled in England.

1:23:38 > 1:23:42The accused was one of the first friends I made there.

1:23:42 > 1:23:46He has been faithful to my daughter and myself in our exile.

1:23:46 > 1:23:51She was the witness in his favour when he was tried by the English

1:23:51 > 1:23:55as the foe of that country and the friend of the United States.

1:23:55 > 1:23:59CHEERING

1:23:59 > 1:24:01You have heard enough.

1:24:02 > 1:24:04We find the accused not guilty.

1:24:04 > 1:24:07CHEERING

1:24:15 > 1:24:16Stop!

1:24:16 > 1:24:18Hold the accused.

1:24:20 > 1:24:25- You have a further charge?- He is a denounced enemy of the Republic,

1:24:25 > 1:24:29an aristocrat, one of a family of tyrants!

1:24:29 > 1:24:32Denounced secretly or openly?

1:24:32 > 1:24:34- Openly, Mr President.- By whom?

1:24:37 > 1:24:41Alexander Manette, physician.

1:24:41 > 1:24:45I indignantly protest! That is a foul and wicked lie!

1:24:45 > 1:24:52The accused is the husband of my daughter - who would believe that I could denounce my own son-in-law?

1:24:52 > 1:24:56- They'll believe it when they hear this document.- What is it?

1:24:59 > 1:25:07President, I knew this Bastille prisoner, Manette, was confined in a cell known as 105 North Tower.

1:25:07 > 1:25:13The day the Bastille was taken, I examined the cell and found that document.

1:25:13 > 1:25:18It bears the writing of Dr Manette, which I know well.

1:25:18 > 1:25:21I ask that it now be read.

1:25:21 > 1:25:25"I, Alexander Manette, unfortunate physician,

1:25:25 > 1:25:29"native of Beauvais and afterwards resident in Paris,

1:25:29 > 1:25:34"write this melancholy paper in my doleful cell in the Bastille,

1:25:34 > 1:25:38"during the last month of the tenth year of my captivity.

1:25:38 > 1:25:45"I write from the fear that soon my failing memory will erase from my mind the events I wish to record,

1:25:45 > 1:25:48"lest my oppressors' crimes be forever buried..."

1:25:59 > 1:26:02- There he goes!- Then we have him.

1:26:02 > 1:26:08- Are you sure I'm right?- If it ain't Barsad, I'll have me head took off. What's he worth to us?

1:26:08 > 1:26:10That remains to be seen.

1:26:10 > 1:26:14GIGGLING

1:26:31 > 1:26:35Mr Barsad, you remember me?

1:26:35 > 1:26:39You mistake me for someone else. My name is Jean Solomon.

1:26:39 > 1:26:42I beg your pardon. That was tactless.

1:26:42 > 1:26:48You appear to have become a person of some importance...Mr Solomon.

1:26:48 > 1:26:54- What function do you perform? - I have certain duties with regard to interrogating prisoners.

1:26:54 > 1:26:58I might have guessed it - a spy!

1:26:58 > 1:27:02A secret informer, just like our old friend Barsad.

1:27:02 > 1:27:04That's not my name!

1:27:04 > 1:27:11- Who said it was?- There was a man of that name who resembled me, but he's been dead 18 months.

1:27:11 > 1:27:15It is possible, Mr Solomon, that I might have to ask you a favour,

1:27:15 > 1:27:23- some recompense for my forgetting certain particulars of your past. - Don't dare threaten me, Mr Carton!

1:27:23 > 1:27:26You remember my name? I'm flattered.

1:27:26 > 1:27:30I stand in high regard here amongst the people who count.

1:27:30 > 1:27:33That makes your friendship all the more valuable.

1:27:33 > 1:27:36Regard it as a game of cards.

1:27:36 > 1:27:42The stake I have resolved to play for is a friend among the people who count.

1:27:42 > 1:27:51- The friend I propose to win, Mr Solomon, is you.- You'll have to hold a good hand.- I do.

1:27:51 > 1:27:58Firstly, I am an Englishman with no axe to grind in France and no cause to use another name.

1:27:58 > 1:28:00That's a very good card.

1:28:00 > 1:28:07My second one. Mr Solomon, now in the employ of the Republican French government,

1:28:07 > 1:28:15was formerly Mr Barsad in the employ of the English government, enemy of France and freedom.

1:28:15 > 1:28:17That's an even better card.

1:28:19 > 1:28:21Should I play the ace, Jerry?

1:28:22 > 1:28:25You play it, Mr Carton!

1:28:26 > 1:28:31Then fill up our friend's glass and let the ace be played quietly.

1:28:31 > 1:28:39That same Mr Barsad was at one time in the employ on no less a person than the late Marquis St Evremonde.

1:28:39 > 1:28:42For the love of heaven, be quiet!

1:28:42 > 1:28:46I think Mr Solomon requires his cognac, Jerry.

1:28:46 > 1:28:49What do you want from me?

1:28:49 > 1:28:56Nothing at all - I hope. That will be determined by events now in progress.

1:28:56 > 1:29:03"..I was brought to my living grave here in the Bastille with only one remaining hope -

1:29:03 > 1:29:10"that my servant Defarge may have been successful in saving the poor hapless girl,

1:29:10 > 1:29:15"who, alone, was left of the family exterminated by that nobleman.

1:29:15 > 1:29:20"He and his descendants to the last of their race do I denounce..."

1:29:20 > 1:29:23YELLING

1:29:23 > 1:29:26"..To heaven and to earth!"

1:29:26 > 1:29:30This is a tragic and frightful testimony indeed,

1:29:30 > 1:29:38but in the name of justice I must observe that Dr Manette, either through failing memory or ignorance,

1:29:38 > 1:29:43makes no mention therein of the name of this nobleman he has denounced.

1:29:43 > 1:29:46I will name him!

1:29:46 > 1:29:52And no-one has better cause! I was that young girl, the last one left alive in that family!

1:29:52 > 1:29:58It was I who was rescued by Defarge and brought up by the fisherman!

1:29:58 > 1:30:02The father, driven to death on the shaft, was my father,

1:30:02 > 1:30:08the boy in the stables was my brother, that girl was my sister...

1:30:08 > 1:30:12Do you think I haven't cursed the name of that vile monster?

1:30:12 > 1:30:16He was the cousin of the accused - the Marquis St Evremonde!

1:30:16 > 1:30:20ANGRY HUBBUB

1:30:26 > 1:30:29I tell you - it's impossible.

1:30:29 > 1:30:34- No prisoner has ever escaped from La Force.- Who spoke of an escape?

1:30:34 > 1:30:40- You, Jerry?- Not me. Let's hope there won't be no need for an escape.- Amen!

1:30:40 > 1:30:47You see? We, all three, sit round this table hoping there'll be no cause to trouble you.

1:30:47 > 1:30:49SHOUTING

1:30:54 > 1:30:58- Is there a verdict in the Evremonde trial?- Guilty!

1:30:58 > 1:31:01Death in 24 hours!

1:31:07 > 1:31:10It seems, Mr Solomon...

1:31:11 > 1:31:14..that I shall have to ask you that favour.

1:31:23 > 1:31:25What happened?

1:31:25 > 1:31:27Oh, my precious!

1:31:27 > 1:31:29Oh, Prossie...

1:31:31 > 1:31:36My father is in shock. If he could only regain the power of speech...

1:31:38 > 1:31:44- He must have some sleep, and then, perhaps...- You must rest now.

1:31:44 > 1:31:46Come.

1:31:53 > 1:32:00- It's happened again. - I feared it when that vile woman denounced the family of Evremonde.

1:32:00 > 1:32:05- The family?- You heard her yourself. - I wasn't there at the end.

1:32:05 > 1:32:10- You weren't there?- I heard the verdict from the rabble in the inn.

1:32:10 > 1:32:18- You're disgusting!- Forget about me. Did you say the whole family was denounced?- To the last of the race.

1:32:18 > 1:32:24- You realise the danger in which this puts Lucie?- Her relationship is by marriage only.

1:32:24 > 1:32:28Lucie is carrying a child, an Evremonde.

1:32:30 > 1:32:33He's gone to sleep.

1:32:33 > 1:32:35Almost at once...

1:32:36 > 1:32:39..like a child.

1:32:39 > 1:32:41It's the best thing we could wish.

1:32:41 > 1:32:45Sydney, you're an advocate - you must know!

1:32:45 > 1:32:49There must be some form of an appeal.

1:32:49 > 1:32:53- I think perhaps there may be. - Do you really believe that?

1:32:53 > 1:33:00We shall do all that's humanly possibly. You get some sleep too. He wouldn't want you to fret.

1:33:00 > 1:33:02No...

1:33:02 > 1:33:05I think perhaps I may sleep...

1:33:05 > 1:33:07now.

1:33:11 > 1:33:12Lucie...

1:33:17 > 1:33:19..God bless you.

1:33:27 > 1:33:33How can you be so heartless? You know there's no chance of stopping this execution.

1:33:33 > 1:33:39- None.- Why raise her hopes?- You could waste all night taking me to task.

1:33:39 > 1:33:47Attend to what I have to say. Ask me no questions and give me the promise I shall exact from you.

1:33:47 > 1:33:49Lucie is in grave danger.

1:33:49 > 1:33:53It depends upon you entirely to save her.

1:33:53 > 1:33:57- Heaven grant that I may, but how? - I shall tell you how.

1:33:59 > 1:34:02I couldn't depend upon a better man.

1:34:02 > 1:34:07Early tomorrow, have a coach ready for a rapid journey to the coast.

1:34:07 > 1:34:10- It must be ready at ten o'clock. - It shall be done.

1:34:10 > 1:34:14Tell Lucie tonight what you know of the danger to her child.

1:34:14 > 1:34:22Say her father's in danger too. Press upon her the urgency of leaving. Tell...tell her...

1:34:22 > 1:34:26it was her husband's last arrangement.

1:34:26 > 1:34:31- Tell her that more depends on all this than she dare hope.- I will.

1:34:31 > 1:34:36See Lucie and her father into a coach out here in the courtyard.

1:34:36 > 1:34:41Sit with them. The moment I come to you, take me in and drive away.

1:34:41 > 1:34:48I may not be in a condition to assist you. Don't look at me like that!

1:34:48 > 1:34:54I am sober and deadly earnest. Promise me that nothing will make you change my instructions.

1:34:54 > 1:34:57I promise.

1:34:59 > 1:35:03Here, then, are my papers.

1:35:06 > 1:35:10- Take them and keep them with the rest.- You may need them tonight.

1:35:10 > 1:35:13Paris is dangerous without papers.

1:35:13 > 1:35:18You are not to question my instructions. Remember your promise.

1:35:20 > 1:35:23I shall remember it.

1:35:23 > 1:35:26I hope to do my part faithfully.

1:35:26 > 1:35:28I hope to do mine.

1:35:41 > 1:35:44If only the poor darling can sleep.

1:35:44 > 1:35:51Huh! That one's a lot of good! Going out now to get drunk, I suppose!

1:35:51 > 1:35:53No, Miss Pross, no.

1:35:53 > 1:35:56Not this time.

1:35:58 > 1:36:00The bravest and best of us all.

1:36:15 > 1:36:18FOOTSTEPS

1:36:36 > 1:36:38What do you want? Who's this?

1:36:38 > 1:36:41He's a friend of Evremonde.

1:36:41 > 1:36:44- He's English. - Evremonde...?

1:36:44 > 1:36:47Poor old Evremonde...!

1:36:47 > 1:36:51He's got permission to say goodbye to him.

1:36:51 > 1:36:54Looks like he's made a night of it!

1:36:54 > 1:36:57Trying to keep his courage up.

1:37:04 > 1:37:08Remember - a few minutes only.

1:37:11 > 1:37:15- Carton!- Of all people, you least expected to see me.

1:37:15 > 1:37:21- You're not a prisoner? - No. I'm accidentally possessed of a power over one your guards.

1:37:21 > 1:37:25I come from your wife. You must do as I ask without question.

1:37:25 > 1:37:30- Put on this coat.- There's no escape from here. It can't be done.

1:37:30 > 1:37:32You'll only die with me.

1:37:32 > 1:37:35No, it's madness!

1:37:35 > 1:37:41Escape would be madness, yes. If I ask you to leave, tell me I'm mad and refuse.

1:37:41 > 1:37:48Carton, dear Carton, whatever you have in mind, I implore you - don't add your death to mine.

1:37:48 > 1:37:52You must trust me. Take that pen. Sit down.

1:37:52 > 1:37:54Write as I dictate.

1:37:56 > 1:37:58Hurry, my friend, hurry.

1:38:01 > 1:38:04Write exactly as I speak.

1:38:07 > 1:38:12"I knew... it was not in your nature...

1:38:15 > 1:38:18"..to forget the words

1:38:18 > 1:38:20"which passed between us...

1:38:22 > 1:38:25"..long ago.

1:38:29 > 1:38:31"I am thankful...

1:38:31 > 1:38:34"that the time has come...

1:38:36 > 1:38:39"..when I may...

1:38:39 > 1:38:42"truly prove them..."

1:38:45 > 1:38:47What vapour is that?

1:38:48 > 1:38:50Vapour?

1:38:50 > 1:38:53I am conscious of nothing.

1:38:53 > 1:38:55Write on.

1:38:57 > 1:38:59"That I do...

1:38:59 > 1:39:02"is no subject...

1:39:04 > 1:39:07"..for regret or grief..."

1:39:20 > 1:39:23Let there be no grief.

1:39:33 > 1:39:36Therese, I was just coming for you.

1:39:36 > 1:39:42- I've some business to do before the guillotine.- Today's your day.

1:39:42 > 1:39:44I shall be there for the 23rd head.

1:39:44 > 1:39:48Evremonde? That'll bring the loudest shout!

1:39:48 > 1:39:52What I have to say is not for the ears of my husband.

1:39:52 > 1:39:57- Huh?- He's a good enough Republican, but he has weaknesses.

1:39:57 > 1:40:02He's weak enough to relent towards a certain doctor and his daughter.

1:40:02 > 1:40:09- The wife of Evremonde. - She will be at home now awaiting the moment of his death.

1:40:09 > 1:40:14- She will be mourning.- Yes, and it's an offence to mourn an aristocrat.

1:40:14 > 1:40:20She will be in state of mind to speak against Republican justice, and I shall be there to hear.

1:40:20 > 1:40:23Ah-ha!

1:40:23 > 1:40:27- My cherished! - What a splendid woman this is!

1:40:27 > 1:40:31- Take this. Keep my place for me. - You won't be late?

1:40:31 > 1:40:34I shall be there when his turn comes.

1:40:41 > 1:40:43RATTLING

1:40:50 > 1:40:51You see?

1:40:51 > 1:40:57- Is your hazard so great?- My hazard is whether you keep your bargain.

1:40:57 > 1:41:04- I shall keep it.- To the very end? Can any man keep to a bargain like that?- Have no fear.

1:41:04 > 1:41:08I'll soon be out of harm's way, and so - please God - will they!

1:41:08 > 1:41:13- My coach is still outside.- Yes. - Get some help. Have him taken to it.

1:41:13 > 1:41:16Hurry, man, hurry!

1:41:19 > 1:41:22Mr Carton...

1:41:25 > 1:41:31Tell them to take him to Tellson's Bank. He has friends there.

1:41:36 > 1:41:38Hey, you!

1:41:38 > 1:41:41Goodbye, old Sydney.

1:41:45 > 1:41:47Hey, you!
