0:01:22 > 0:01:25"My name is Jane Eyre...
0:01:25 > 0:01:28"I was born in 1820, a harsh time of change in England.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30"Money and position seemed all that mattered.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33"Charity was a cold and disagreeable word.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36"Religion too often wore a mask of bigotry and cruelty.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40"There was no proper place for the poor or the unfortunate.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43"I had no father or mother, brother or sister.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46"As a child I lived with my aunt, Mrs Reed of Gateshead Hall.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50"I do not remember that she ever spoke one kind word to me."
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Careful, Bessie. She bites!
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Come on out, Jane Eyre.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Mrs Reed wants to see you in the drawing room.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Go on, knock! - Don't bully the child.- Knock!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Come in.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39This, Mr Brocklehurst, is the child in question.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41She's the daughter of my late husband's sister,
0:02:41 > 0:02:45by an unfortunate union we prefer to forget.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48For some years she's lived here.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51The recipient, I see, of every care
0:02:51 > 0:02:54which one could lavish upon her.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Come here, little girl.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00What is your name?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Jane Eyre, sir.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Well, Jane Eyre, and are you a good child?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07The less said, the better.
0:03:07 > 0:03:12- Indeed?- Today she struck her cousin brutally, without provocation.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- That isn't true!- Jane.- He hit me first!- Silence!
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- John, dear, did you strike her first?- No, Mama.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24You did! You knocked me down and made my head bleed.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- I did not!- You did! - Silence!- You did!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I won't hear your odious lies.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34You see how passionate and wicked she is?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I do, indeed. Come here, child.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41You and I must have some talk.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46No sight so sad as that of a wicked child.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Where do the wicked go when dead?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49They go to Hell.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- What is hell?- A pit full of fire.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Should you like to burn forever?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- no, sir!- What must you do?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Keep good health, and not die.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05But children younger than you die daily.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Only last week we buried a child of five.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13A good, little child, whose soul is in heaven.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15And your soul?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- I don't see why it shouldn't go too! - YOU don't see!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21But others see clearly, do they not, Mrs Reed?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- You have heard of Lowood?- No, sir.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29It is a school for unfortunate orphans.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32My estate is nearby.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34As Chairman of the Board, I supervise.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Would you like to go there, little girl?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40You mean, and not live HERE any more?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I don't know what Aunt would say.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45It was your kind benefactress who suggested it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Do you wish to go?- Yes, sir!
0:04:48 > 0:04:51A wise choice, wiser than you know.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Pray God to take away your heart of stone, and make you meek, humble,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59and penitent. Rest assured, Mrs Reed,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03we shall collaborate with the Almighty.
0:05:08 > 0:05:14- Bessie?- Yes, Jane?- I never dreamt I'd get away till I was grown up.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Won't you be sorry to leave poor old Bessie?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19What does Bessie care? Always scolding and punishing.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24All the same, I am rather sorry to be leaving you.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Rather sorry?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Is that all?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I suppose you'd rather not kiss me?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I'll kiss you, and welcome, Bessie!
0:05:35 > 0:05:39You're such a strange, solitary thing.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Here's a keepsake, Jane.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- It'll help you remember me. - Hurry up!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Be a good girl, and I hope you'll be happy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Thank you, Bessie. Goodbye!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Goodbye, Jane.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Goodbye, Mrs Reed! I hate you and I hate everything about you!
0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'll never see you when I grow up, or call you Aunt!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10If anyone asks me how you treated me,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I'll say you were bad, hard-hearted and mean!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15The sight of you makes me sick!
0:06:25 > 0:06:30At school I shall have lessons in drawing, French, history, and music.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I'll have hundreds of girls to play with!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35What's this school's name?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- It's called Lowood.- Lowood?

0:07:30 > 0:07:33"In their place was to stand a school that was more like a prison,

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Pupils...!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Observe this child.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18She is yet young, she possesses the ordinary form of girlhood.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21No deformity points to her marked character.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Who would believe...
0:08:23 > 0:08:28that the evil one had already found in her a servant and an agent?
0:08:28 > 0:08:33Yet such, I grieve to tell you, is the case.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Therefore you must be on your guard against her.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Shun her example.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Avoid her company. Exclude her from your sports.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Shut her out from your converse.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Teachers!
0:08:47 > 0:08:49You must watch her.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Weigh well her words and scrutinise her actions.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Punish her body to save her soul.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01For it is my duty to warn you, and my tongue falters as I tell it...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03that this girl, this child,
0:09:03 > 0:09:06the native of a Christian land, no better than a heathen
0:09:06 > 0:09:10that prays to Bramah or kneels before Juggernaut.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15This girl is a liar!
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Let her remain there, and let no-one speak to her for the rest of the day.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I brought you this, from supper.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Didn't you hear what he said?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34He said you mustn't have anything to do with me.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Go on. take it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I'm not bad.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45I promise I'm not.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48But I hate him, I hate him!
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- It's wrong to hate people. - I can't help it!
0:10:52 > 0:10:56I thought school would be a place where people would love me.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00I want people to love me...and believe in me, and be kind to me.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'd let my arm be broken if it'd make anyone love me.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Or let a horse kick me, or be tossed by a bull.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Don't say such things.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12But I would. I would!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Eat your bread, Jane.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38O merciful Providence, who of Thy generous plenty
0:11:38 > 0:11:43doth give us the abundant fruits of the field,
0:11:43 > 0:11:48grant us that though we are properly grateful for this our earthly food,
0:11:48 > 0:11:53yet our hearts may be more lastingly fixed upon Thy heavenly manor. Amen.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Helen, where does that road go?
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- I told you before, to Bradford. - But after that?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Derby...Nottingham, then London!
0:12:04 > 0:12:07London to Dover, and across to France.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Then over the mountains and down to Italy, and Florence, Rome, Madrid...
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Madrid isn't in Italy, Jane.
0:12:14 > 0:12:20But that road goes there. We'll drive along it, when we're grown up,
0:12:20 > 0:12:26in a coach. I'll have hair like yours, and have read all the books in the world,
0:12:26 > 0:12:31and I'll play the piano and talk French, almost as well as you do.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Dreaming again, Jane? - Doctor Rivers!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I know who'll be late for inspection(!)
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Not this time, I'll beat you there.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52A-Ah.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54A-Ah.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- A-Ah. - COUGHING
0:12:56 > 0:12:58A-Ah.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01That cough doesn't seem any better, Helen.
0:13:01 > 0:13:02We'll have to take care of it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Ah.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Ah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Thank you.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14You keep your schoolroom uncommonly cold, Mr Brocklehurst.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17A matter of principle, Dr Rivers.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Our aim is not to pamper the body, but to strengthen the soul.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23A bad cough is little aid to salvation.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25But I'm not a theologian.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Good day, sir.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35GIGGLES
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- If I may venture an opinion...- If I want it, madam, I shall call for it.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Johnson, you poke your chin most unpleasantly. Draw it in.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Edwards, I insist on your holding your head up.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I will not have you stand before me in that attitude.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Miss Scatcherd!
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Fetch me the scissors immediately!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10What may I ask is the meaning of this?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Why, in defiance of every precept and principle,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16is this person's hair a mass of curls?
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- Her hair curls naturally, sir.- We are not here to conform to nature!
0:14:22 > 0:14:25I want them to be children of grace.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Please, sir, don't do that! You can cut mine, but...
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Silence!
0:14:37 > 0:14:40So this is Lowood's prevailing spirit?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Vanity and insurrection!
0:14:43 > 0:14:45It shall be rooted out.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Dr Rivers! - I've brought this oil for Helen.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- It's to rub on her chest.- Helen?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Her lung concerns me. I spoke to Mr Brock...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Heavens! What are they doing out in the rain?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- It was Mr Brocklehurst's order. - Bring them in at once!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- What shall I say to Mr Brocklehurst?- Refer him to me!
0:15:38 > 0:15:42With your leave, Dr Rivers, I shall offer up one more prayer.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Almighty God, look down upon this miserable sinner,
0:15:46 > 0:15:49and grant that the sense of her weakness
0:15:49 > 0:15:54may give strength to her faith and seriousness to her repentance.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Amen.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06The ways of Providence are inscrutable...
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Did Providence send her out in the rain?- Doctor!
0:16:08 > 0:16:11And Providence that ordered her to her death?!
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Yes, to her death, Mr Brocklehurst!
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Helen?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Helen?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Oh, I'm so glad.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32I heard Dr Rivers say...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I was afraid.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I'm not afraid, Jane.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Helen...!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Helen!
0:16:40 > 0:16:42You must be cold.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Lie down and cover yourself up.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Don't cry, Jane.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I don't want you to cry.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Are you warm, now?- Yes.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Goodnight, Jane.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Goodnight, Helen.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I-I do wish they...
0:17:16 > 0:17:19..hadn't cut your hair.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Helen.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Are you awake?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32It's morning.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Helen!
0:17:35 > 0:17:37JANE SCREAMS
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Jane!
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Come, Jane. - No, I want to stay here!
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I want to be with Helen.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Helen isn't here. Helen's with God.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Jane, remember what you say in your prayers every day?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02"Thy will be done".
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Do you think you're doing God's will by giving way to despair?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09God wants children to be brave and strong.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Won't you do what God wants?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- I'll try.- That's right.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19The harder you try, the more God will help you.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21And now, let me take you back.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24No, I can't go back to school! I'll never go back. I'll run away.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Jane! You know what duty is?
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Duty is what you have to do, even when you don't want to do it.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35I don't want to visit a patient in the snow, but it's my duty.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- What is your duty?- I don't know!
0:18:38 > 0:18:43Yes, you do! In your heart you know perfectly well.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45It is to prepare to do God's work.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Isn't that true?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50And who can do God's work?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53An ignorant woman, or an educated one?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Yes, you know the answer to that.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Where can you get an education?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Where?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- At school.- Precisely.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06You know you must go back, though you hate the thought.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Isn't that true?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- WHISPERS:- I suppose it is true.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15Good, Jane!
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Very good!
0:19:41 > 0:19:44True, gentlemen, we had some difficulties in the beginning...
0:19:44 > 0:19:47A very stiff-necked and evil child.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49But Eyre's been here ten years.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54It's been granted me to put her on the path of salvation.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- I suppose we ought to see her.- I intended so.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Let Eyre be brought in.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I needn't remind you of the advantages
0:20:01 > 0:20:04of appointing one of our old pupils as teacher.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07An outsider would have to be paid twice as much.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10DOOR OPENS
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Eyre, this is a solemn moment.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18Little did I imagine that the unregenerate child I received
0:20:18 > 0:20:21would grow in ten short years to become a teacher.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Yes, a teacher.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27That is the honour the trustees, at my recommendation, have bestowed upon you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Your wage is 20 guineas per annum.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Only 10 is withheld for lodging, spiritual instruction and laundry.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36You duties will begin in the new term.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I need detain you no longer, gentlemen.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Good day, gentlemen.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Here is the post, sir.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59That is all, Eyre.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I cannot accept your offer, sir.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- And why not, pray?- I do not wish to stay here at Lowood.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12This is unheard of!
0:21:12 > 0:21:13The ingratitude!
0:21:13 > 0:21:15What have I to be grateful for?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- Ten years of harshness and... - Silence!
0:21:21 > 0:21:26Stiff-necked as ever. I see that I have been sadly deceived in you.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29And where, may I ask, do you intend to go?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Out into the world, sir.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Out into the world.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Do you know how the world treats young paupers without friends?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I intend to find a position as a governess.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40How, may I ask?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- I've advertised in a newspaper.- Oh!
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- You've been overwhelmed for your services.- No, sir.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50And you never will be, you have no talents,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53a dark disposition and an insignificant appearance!
0:21:53 > 0:21:56It is folly to dream of such a position.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Eyre, you heard me!
0:22:08 > 0:22:12I can overlook your ungracious outburst, but I warn you,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16if you persist in folly, this haven will never again be open to you.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I am leaving Lowood, sir.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Here you are, miss. Right-oh.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Not all young women can face the world alone.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58You know what right is. You'll stick to it through thick and thin.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23- £40 is my limit. - No, guineas.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Excuse me, is there anyone here for a Mrs Fairfax of Thornfield Hall?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Take a seat in there. I'll enquire.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- Who's the young lady? - Couldn't say, sir.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Give her my compliments, and ask her to join me in a glass of Madeira.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45The gentlemen offers his compliments.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Asks if you'd care to take a glass of something with him?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Oh, no, thank you, I-I never take wine.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Is your name Eyre?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Yes, I'm Miss Eyre. Are you from Thornfield?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- You're not the new governess? - Yes, I am.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Is this all your luggage?- Yes.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I'll tell Mrs Fairfax you're here.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Thank you.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:25:27 > 0:25:28How do you do, my dear?
0:25:28 > 0:25:32I'm afraid you've had a tedious journey. I'm Mrs Fairfax.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Why, your hand is like ice!
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Come, I'll take you straight to your room.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40We've a nice, cosy fire for you,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43and Leah's taken the chill off the sheet, with the warming-pan.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I'm so glad you've come.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Living here with company but the servants,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53it's hardly cheerful.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Only the butcher and postman have come since the hard weather set in.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Shall I see Miss Fairfax tonight?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Miss Fairfax? Oh, you mean Miss Adele.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10- Isn't she your daughter?- Gracious, no, she's French. I've no family.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13None at all. That's Mr Edward's room.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17He's abroad, but I always keep it ready.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19His visits are always so unexpected and sudden,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21a wanderer on the face of the earth.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24That's what Mr Edward is, I'm afraid.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Who is Mr Edward? - Why, the owner of Thornfield!
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I thought this was your house.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Bless your soul, child, I'm only the housekeeper.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Thornfield belongs to Mr Edward Rochester.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Little Adele is his ward.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Here is your room.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42It's quite small, but I thought you'd like it better
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- than one of the large front chambers.- It's beautiful.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Yet he comes so seldom to this house?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52It is strange.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55You'll find that in many ways Mr Edward is a strange man.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Goodnight, my dear.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Goodnight.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17A MUSIC-BOX TINKLES
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Bonjour, Mademoiselle.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Mama had a dress like that,
0:27:38 > 0:27:42only she danced beautifully. I can dance, too.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44- Do you wish to see? - This very moment?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Now you speak like Monsieur Rochester.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50For him it is never the right moment.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Mais jamais.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Your name is Adele?
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Do you know what I was thinking, Adele?
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Never in my life have I been awakened so happily.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- You liked that, Mademoiselle? - Very much, Adele.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27A great many gentlemen and ladies came to see Mama.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31I used dance, or sing to them.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32I liked it.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- Where was that? - In Paris, where we lived.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40But when Mama went to the Holy Virgin, Mr Rochester came
0:28:40 > 0:28:45and took me in a great ship with a chimney that smoked,
0:28:45 > 0:28:47and I was sick.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Five, six and three...?
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Do you like Monsieur Rochester?
0:28:55 > 0:28:57- I've not met him.- This is his chair.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00He sits and stares into the fire,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02and frowns like this.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04JANE LAUGHS
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Is he as bad as that?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Twice as bad! I cannot make how bad he is!
0:29:09 > 0:29:11But I'm sure he's very kind.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Sometimes he brings me beautiful presents.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16But when he's angry, that's terrible!
0:29:16 > 0:29:21May the Holy Virgin give me grace, and God bless Monsieur Rochester.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25and make him polite to Mademoiselle,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28so she will stay with me for ever and ever. Amen.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41You've a will of your own! Where are you from?
0:30:41 > 0:30:43From Mr Rochester's house, below.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46You know Mr Rochester.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48No, I've never seen him.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50You're not a servant at the hall.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52I'm the new governess.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Oh.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58You're the new governess.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Now, just hand me my whip.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43Quick, dear, off with your things,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- he's been asking to see the new governess.- Who?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Why, Mr Rochester.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Rode in without any warning, and in a vile humour.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53He seems he had an accident.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55But he won't let me send for he doctor.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Oh, goodness, your bonnet.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Here is Miss Eyre, sir.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Well, Miss Eyre, have you no tongue?
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I was waiting until spoken to.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Very proper. Next time, you see a man on a horse, don't run into the road until he's passed.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I assure you, it was not deliberate.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38It was nonetheless painful.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Sit down, Miss Eyre.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Where do you come from?
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- From Lowood Institution, sir. - Lowood, what's that?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52A charity school. I was there ten years.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Ten years, you must be tenacious of life!
0:32:55 > 0:32:58No wonder you've the look of another world.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02I marvelled where you got that face.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06When you came on me in the mist, I found myself thinking of fairy tales!
0:33:06 > 0:33:09I'd a mind to demand if you'd bewitched my horse.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12I'm not sure yet.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- Who are your parents? - I have none, sir.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Your home? - I have no home, sir.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Who recommended you?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25I advertised. Mrs Fairfax answered.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Huh. And you came post-haste, in time to throw me off my horse!
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Hmm.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32What did you learn at Lowood?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- Do you play the piano?- A little.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Of course...the established answer.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Go in the drawing room...!
0:33:41 > 0:33:44I mean, if you please.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Excuse my tone of command. I am used to saying
0:33:47 > 0:33:50"Do this", and it is done. I cannot alter my habits

0:34:47 > 0:34:50Perhaps rather better than some...
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Not well.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13"so proud, sardonic and harsh?
0:35:13 > 0:35:15"Instinctively I felt that his malignant mood
0:35:15 > 0:35:17"had its source in some cruel cross of fate.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20"I was to learn that this was indeed true,

0:35:31 > 0:35:35Grace, I've told you time and again,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37I could hear you all through the house. Too much noise.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40I've spoken to you before.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Did I disturb you, my dear.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49I'm so sorry. I had to speak to Grace Poole. She does the sewing.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Not unobjectionable, but she works.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55How did you get on with Mr Rochester, dear?
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Is he always so changeful and abrupt?
0:35:58 > 0:36:02He has peculiarities of temper, but allowances should be made.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Why for him more than others?
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Because it's his nature.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- And because he has painful thoughts. - What about?
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Family troubles.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15I think that's why he so seldom comes to Thornfield.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19It has unpleasant associations for him.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Goodnight, my dear.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23Goodnight, Mrs Fairfax.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Monsieur Rochester is very difficult,
0:36:51 > 0:36:55but he brings me most beautiful presents.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Look!
0:36:57 > 0:36:59You see?
0:36:59 > 0:37:00They suit me perfectly.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31A ballet dress, just like Mama used to wear.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Isn't it beautiful, Mademoiselle?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Beautiful, Adele.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38I shall wear it when I dance, always.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Miss Eyre.- Regardez, Monsieur...
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Est-ce que c'est comme ca qu'on se tient?!
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Miss Eyre?
0:37:53 > 0:37:57I'm not fond of the prattle of children.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01As you see, I'm a crusty, old bachelor,
0:38:01 > 0:38:05and I have no pleasant associations connected with their lisp.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09In this house, the only alternative is the prattle of the simple-minded
0:38:09 > 0:38:11old lady, which is nearly as bad.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Today I'm disposed to be gregarious
0:38:14 > 0:38:18and I believe you could amuse me.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23You puzzled me greatly that first evening in the library, Miss Eyre.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25I'd almost forgotten you.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29But now I'm resolved to be at ease, to do only what pleases me.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33It would please me now to draw you out.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35Sit down, Miss Eyre.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37No, not further back.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Just here, where I placed it.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43Forward a little! Still too far back.
0:38:43 > 0:38:49I can't see you without disturbing my position, which I've no mind to.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53You examine me, Miss Eyre.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Do you find me handsome?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- No, sir.- Indeed!
0:38:58 > 0:39:00I beg your pardon, I was too plain.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04- My answer was a mistake.- You shall be answerable for it. Explain.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Does forehead not please you?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08What does it tell you? Am I a fool?
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Far from it.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Is it the head of a kindly man?
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Hardly that, sir.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Very well, then.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18I am not a kindly man,
0:39:18 > 0:39:23though I did once have a sort of... tenderness of heart.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27- Do you doubt it?- No, sir.- Since then, fortune's knocked me about,
0:39:27 > 0:39:31till I'm as tough as an India-rubber ball.
0:39:31 > 0:39:36With perhaps one small, sensitive point in the middle of the lump.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- Does that leave hope for me? - Hope of what?
0:39:39 > 0:39:44My re-transformation from India-rubber back to flesh.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46You look very puzzled, young lady,
0:39:46 > 0:39:49and a puzzled air becomes you.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Besides, it keeps those searching eyes of yours away from my face.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57You are silent, Miss Eyre.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Stubborn?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02No, annoyed...
0:40:02 > 0:40:05and quite rightly so. I put my request in an absurd way.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08I do not wish to treat you as an inferior.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12But I've experience of many men of many nations,
0:40:12 > 0:40:17while you've been with one set of people in one house.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Don't I have a right to be a little abrupt?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Do as you please, sir.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24You pay me £30 a year for receiving your orders.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26£30?
0:40:26 > 0:40:27I'd forgotten that.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30On that mercenary ground may I not hector a little?
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Not on that ground,
0:40:32 > 0:40:36but since you did forget, and enquired of my feelings as an equal.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Good!
0:40:38 > 0:40:42You will let me dispense with conventional forms without thinking me insolent?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45I never mistake informality for insolence.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47One I rather like,
0:40:47 > 0:40:50the other, no free born person submits to, even for a salary.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Humbug! Most free born people would submit to anything for a salary. Where are you going?
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- It's time for Adele's lesson. - No, young lady,
0:40:58 > 0:41:02it's not for Adele you're going, but because you're afraid of me.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03You wish to escape me.
0:41:03 > 0:41:07In my presence you hesitate to smile gaily or speak too freely.
0:41:09 > 0:41:10Admit you're afraid!
0:41:10 > 0:41:13I am bewildered, sir, but I am certainly not afraid.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14DOOR OPENS
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Don't I look beautiful, Monsieur?
0:41:17 > 0:41:20This is how Mama used to do it, is it not?
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Precisely.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26It's how she charmed my English gold from my britches pocket.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Then I shall dance for you?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You will not. You'll go straight upstairs to the nursery.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- But Monsieur!- At once.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Miss Eyre!
0:41:42 > 0:41:44I have not finished talking to you.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Why do you look at me like that?
0:41:52 > 0:41:56I was thinking whatever your misfortune,
0:41:56 > 0:41:58you've no right to revenge yourself on a child.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00You're quite right.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03I was thinking only of myself, of my own feelings.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08The fact is, nature meant me to be on the whole a good man,
0:42:08 > 0:42:11one of the better kind.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14But circumstance decreed otherwise.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16I was as green as you, once.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Grass green.
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Now my spring has gone, leaving me what?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24This little artificial French flower.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30You may go, Miss Eyre.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Miss Eyre.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48I hope you'll be happy here at Thornfield.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51I hope so, sir. I think so.

0:43:38 > 0:43:40Mr Rochester!
0:43:54 > 0:43:56That's done it.
0:43:56 > 0:43:59I think someone tried to kill you, I heard footsteps along the gallery.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01Shall I call Mrs Fairfax?
0:44:01 > 0:44:04What the deuce for?
0:44:04 > 0:44:07Let her sleep. Sit down. I'll leave you here.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10Be still as a mouse.

0:45:06 > 0:45:09When you came out of your room...
0:45:09 > 0:45:11..did you see anything?
0:45:11 > 0:45:15Only a candlestick on the floor, but I heard a door shut.
0:45:15 > 0:45:17Anything else?
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- Yes, a kind of laugh. - A kind of laugh.
0:45:20 > 0:45:22Have you heard it before?
0:45:22 > 0:45:25There's a strange woman here, Grace Poole...
0:45:25 > 0:45:27Just so.
0:45:27 > 0:45:31Grace Poole. You've guessed it.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34We'll see what's to be done.
0:45:34 > 0:45:37Meanwhile, say nothing about this to anyone.
0:45:37 > 0:45:39Adele! We forgot the child!
0:45:48 > 0:45:50I had an awful fear...
0:45:50 > 0:45:53- You see what she has? - Poor little Adele.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56Trying to console herself for my unkindness to her.
0:45:56 > 0:45:58The child has dancing in her blood,
0:45:58 > 0:46:01and coquetry in the very marrow of her bones.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03THE MUSIC BOX PLAYS
0:46:07 > 0:46:10I once had the misfortune to be in love with this.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13and to be jealous of that.
0:46:13 > 0:46:14Love is a strange thing, Miss Eyre.
0:46:14 > 0:46:19You can know a person is worthless, without heart, mind or scruple,
0:46:19 > 0:46:22yet suffer to the point of torture when she betrays you.
0:46:22 > 0:46:27At least I had the pleasure of putting a pistol bullet through my rival's lungs.
0:46:27 > 0:46:29And the little doll?
0:46:29 > 0:46:33We tell Adele she died. The truth isn't quite so touching.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35I gave her money and turned her out,
0:46:35 > 0:46:38so she decamped with an Italian painter,
0:46:38 > 0:46:41leaving me with what she said was my daughter.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45May I light you to your room?
0:46:47 > 0:46:52Well, Miss Eyre... now you know what your pupil is,
0:46:52 > 0:46:55the offspring of a French dancing girl.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59I suppose you'll be telling me to look for a new governess.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02Adele's had so little love.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04I shall try to make up for it.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Are you always drawn to the loveless and unfriended?
0:47:06 > 0:47:08When it's deserved.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17Would you say that my life deserved saving?
0:47:17 > 0:47:19I should be distressed if harm came to you, sir.
0:47:21 > 0:47:22But you did save my life tonight.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25I should like to thank you. Please shake hands.
0:47:28 > 0:47:32I knew you'd do me good in some way, some time.
0:47:34 > 0:47:37- Goodnight, Jane.- Goodnight, sir.

0:48:14 > 0:48:18Miss Eyre, isn't it terrible? We might all have been burnt in our beds.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Where did Mr Rochester go?
0:48:21 > 0:48:24He said something about a house party at Millcot.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26Goodness knows how long he'll be away.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29Maybe a day, a year or a month.
0:48:33 > 0:48:35- Mrs Fairfax?- Yes, my dear?
0:48:35 > 0:48:38Did Mr Rochester tell you how the fire started?
0:48:38 > 0:48:41Of course. He was reading in bed and fell asleep with the candle lit
0:48:41 > 0:48:43and the curtains took fire.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45Why do you ask?
0:48:45 > 0:48:49I wondered if the fire had anything to do with his leaving.
0:48:49 > 0:48:53How could it possibly? He said he was restless.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56He said the house, with only us here, was unbearably oppressive for him.

0:50:11 > 0:50:14"Winter turned to spring and no news came,
0:50:14 > 0:50:18"but I found a measure of escape in the happiness of Adele."
0:50:29 > 0:50:31Look, Mademoiselle!
0:50:43 > 0:50:48The moment the carriages stop, stand by the front door for the cloaks.
0:50:48 > 0:50:51I'm so glad you're back. Mr Rochester is so difficult.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54- Leah! You're to take the ladies to their rooms.- Yes, ma'am.
0:50:54 > 0:50:58He didn't even tell me how many guests he's bringing!
0:50:58 > 0:51:01Just to get the best bedrooms ready and more servants.
0:51:04 > 0:51:05They're coming, ma'am!
0:51:12 > 0:51:14One, two, three...
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Oh, dear, 15 at least. Far more than I prepared for.
0:51:29 > 0:51:33Who's that riding with Mr Rochester?
0:51:33 > 0:51:35That's Blanche Ingram, my dear.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Haven't you heard about her and Mr Rochester?
0:51:37 > 0:51:39She's quite an old flame of his.
0:51:39 > 0:51:44It wouldn't surprise me if it came to an engagement, one of these days.
0:51:44 > 0:51:47Such a beautiful girl, isn't she?
0:51:56 > 0:51:57Where's Miss Ingram's bath?
0:51:57 > 0:52:00Coming as quickly as we can!
0:52:02 > 0:52:05- Adele, why aren't you in the nursery?- Oh, let me look.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08No, dear, you're in the way.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11Didn't I say Blanche set her cap at him?
0:52:11 > 0:52:14Well, he is very romantic and enormously rich!
0:52:24 > 0:52:28Mr Rochester wishes you to bring Adele to the drawing room after dinner.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31Please, send Adele by herself.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33He only asks me out of politeness.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36That's what I thought so. I told him you weren't used to company.
0:52:36 > 0:52:40"Nonsense", he said, "If she objects, I'll fetch her myself"
0:52:40 > 0:52:43Of course you must wear your very best, my dear.
0:52:43 > 0:52:47I-I think the black.
0:52:48 > 0:52:51MUSIC AND CHATTER
0:52:51 > 0:52:54..I got two more birds with my spare gun.
0:52:54 > 0:52:57Well, perhaps we better leave the gentlemen to their port.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02They're coming, Mademoiselle!
0:53:13 > 0:53:16- Bonsoir, Madame. - Bonsoir. What's your name?
0:53:16 > 0:53:19- Adele.- Blanche, stop teasing Mr Rochester.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21Come along, my angel!
0:53:46 > 0:53:50WOMAN SINGS IN ITALIAN
0:54:09 > 0:54:11A splendid match, Sir George.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13Six or seven thousand a year at least!
0:54:17 > 0:54:19What a striking couple.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22It's very fortunate, isn't it?
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Fine shoulders, eh, Ned?
0:54:50 > 0:54:53..Come un' angelo, mio tesoro.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55Monsieur, may I sing?
0:54:55 > 0:54:57I think we've had enough music.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00- I thought you weren't found of children.- No. Run along, dear.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02Where did you pick her up.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05I did not pick her up, she was left on my hands.
0:55:05 > 0:55:09I suppose you have a governess, I saw a person just now. Is she gone?
0:55:09 > 0:55:12There she is, hiding in the corner.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15You should hear Mama on governesses.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17Don't speak to me of governesses.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20The martyrdom I've endured!
0:55:20 > 0:55:22The clever ones are detestable.
0:55:22 > 0:55:24The others are grotesque!
0:55:45 > 0:55:48- How do you do?- Very well, sir.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52Why did you not come and speak to me in the drawing room?
0:55:52 > 0:55:55I did not wish to disturb you.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59- What have you been doing while I've been away?- Teaching Adele.
0:55:59 > 0:56:01Yes, and getting a good deal paler than you were.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06- What's the matter? - Nothing.
0:56:06 > 0:56:09Take cold, the night of the fire?
0:56:09 > 0:56:11No, sir.
0:56:11 > 0:56:13Go back to the drawing room.
0:56:13 > 0:56:15You are leaving too early.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18I'm a little tired, sir.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20Yes, a little depressed...
0:56:22 > 0:56:25- What about? - I'm not depressed, sir.
0:56:25 > 0:56:27But I tell you, you are.
0:56:27 > 0:56:30So much depressed, that a few words more,
0:56:30 > 0:56:32and there'll be tears in your eyes.
0:56:34 > 0:56:37They're there now, shining, swimming...
0:56:37 > 0:56:39RAP AT DOOR
0:56:39 > 0:56:41What the devil's that?!
0:56:43 > 0:56:45I wish to see Mr Rochester.
0:56:45 > 0:56:47What name, sir?
0:56:47 > 0:56:49Mr Mason, of Spanish Town, Jamaica.
0:56:49 > 0:56:52Very good, sir.
0:56:54 > 0:56:57Mason... Of Spanish Town.
0:57:00 > 0:57:03I wish I were on a quiet island with only you,
0:57:03 > 0:57:08and trouble and danger a hideous recollection, far away.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Can I help you, sir?
0:57:10 > 0:57:14If help is needed I'll seek it at your hands, I promise.
0:57:14 > 0:57:19Jane, if all the people in that room spat on me,
0:57:19 > 0:57:22what would you do?
0:57:22 > 0:57:25I'd turn them out of the room, if I could.
0:57:25 > 0:57:28If I were to go to them...
0:57:28 > 0:57:31and they only looked coldly at me,
0:57:31 > 0:57:34and dropped off, and left me...
0:57:34 > 0:57:37one by one, what then?
0:57:39 > 0:57:42Would you go with them?
0:57:42 > 0:57:44I would stay with you, sir.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46To comfort me?
0:57:46 > 0:57:49Yes, sir.
0:57:49 > 0:57:52To comfort you...as well as I could.
0:58:03 > 0:58:06Edward.
0:58:06 > 0:58:09I shall not be so hypocritical as to say you are welcome.
0:58:09 > 0:58:11Follow me, Mason.
0:58:18 > 0:58:21SCREAMS AND WAILS
0:58:27 > 0:58:30What's happened?
0:58:30 > 0:58:33The noise came from down there.
0:58:41 > 0:58:43Where the devil's Edward? Here he is.
0:58:43 > 0:58:45Edward!
0:58:45 > 0:58:47You haven't been hurt, have you?
0:58:47 > 0:58:50Put that pistol away, Colonel, it's no use for nightmares.
0:58:50 > 0:58:53- Nightmares?- Just a maid with a bad dream.
0:58:53 > 0:58:56The moral of that is don't eat toasted cheese for supper(!)
0:58:56 > 0:59:01Ladies, to your rooms. Lady Ingram, if you'd set the example...?
0:59:01 > 0:59:05I declare, I'm disappointed. I hoped Uncle Percy might shoot a robber.
0:59:05 > 0:59:08Blanche(!)
0:59:08 > 0:59:10Goodnight, Edward.
0:59:10 > 0:59:15Sweet dreams, my...courageous Blanche.
0:59:30 > 0:59:33- WHISPERS:- Jane, are you awake? - Yes, sir.
0:59:33 > 0:59:35Come out, then. Quietly.
0:59:38 > 0:59:40Come this way, and make no noise.
0:59:50 > 0:59:53You don't turn sick at the sight of blood, do you?
0:59:53 > 0:59:56- I've never been tried. - Give me your hand.
0:59:56 > 0:59:59It won't do to risk a fainting fit.
0:59:59 > 1:00:02Warm and steady.
1:00:05 > 1:00:09Jane, what you see may shock and frighten...
1:00:09 > 1:00:10..and confuse you.
1:00:10 > 1:00:13I beg you not to seek an explanation.
1:00:13 > 1:00:16Don't try to understand.
1:00:16 > 1:00:19Whatever the appearance, you must trust me.
1:00:34 > 1:00:37Jane, I'm going to leave you in this room with this gentleman,
1:00:37 > 1:00:40while I fetch a surgeon.
1:00:40 > 1:00:43You will sponge the blood as I do.
1:00:43 > 1:00:48If he comes to, do not speak to him on any account. Do you understand?
1:00:48 > 1:00:51Whatever happens, do not move from here.
1:00:51 > 1:00:55Whatever happens, do not open the door. Either door.

1:02:01 > 1:02:04- Edward, I'm done for.- Nonsense.
1:02:04 > 1:02:08She sank her teeth into me like a tigress.
1:02:08 > 1:02:10- She said she'd...- Be silent, Mason.
1:02:10 > 1:02:12LOUD SCREAM
1:02:14 > 1:02:16- Jane.- Yes, sir.
1:02:16 > 1:02:17Go and get some things on.
1:02:17 > 1:02:20Go down the back stairs, unbolt the side passage door.
1:02:20 > 1:02:23A carriage is waiting.
1:02:23 > 1:02:25See if the driver's ready.
1:02:25 > 1:02:27We shall be down in a moment.
1:02:35 > 1:02:38Mason! I told you not to come up here!
1:02:38 > 1:02:42- I thought I could do some good. - You thought?! You thought!
1:02:45 > 1:02:48Come, Doctor, hurry. We must have him off.
1:02:49 > 1:02:52I've tried so long to avoid exposure.
1:02:54 > 1:02:56I shall make very certain it doesn't come now.
1:03:00 > 1:03:02Take care of him, Doctor.
1:03:02 > 1:03:05Don't let him leave your house until he's quite well.
1:03:08 > 1:03:13- Edward.- Well?!- Let her be taken care of, treated as tenderly as may be.
1:03:13 > 1:03:16I do my best and have done and will do it.
1:03:27 > 1:03:29Jane.
1:03:29 > 1:03:32Come here a few minutes, where there's some freshness.
1:03:32 > 1:03:35The house is a dungeon, a sepulchre.
1:03:35 > 1:03:38Here, everything is fresh and real
1:03:38 > 1:03:40..and pure.
1:03:44 > 1:03:47You've passed a strange night, Jane.
1:03:47 > 1:03:49You look pale.
1:03:49 > 1:03:52Mr Rochester, will Grace Poole live here still?
1:03:53 > 1:03:55Yes...
1:03:55 > 1:03:58- Grace Poole will stay. - After last night?
1:03:58 > 1:04:00Don't ask for explanations.
1:04:00 > 1:04:03Believe me, there are good reasons.
1:04:03 > 1:04:05You're my little friend, aren't you?
1:04:05 > 1:04:08I like to serve you, sir, in everything that's right.
1:04:08 > 1:04:11But if I asked you to do wrong, what then?
1:04:11 > 1:04:16My little friend would turn to me, quiet and pale, and say,
1:04:16 > 1:04:18"Oh, no, sir. It's impossible."
1:04:18 > 1:04:20Am I right?
1:04:22 > 1:04:24Jane...
1:04:24 > 1:04:27I want you to use your fancy.
1:04:27 > 1:04:33Suppose yourself a boy, thoughtless, impetuous, indulged from childhood.
1:04:33 > 1:04:36Imagine yourself in a remote land.
1:04:36 > 1:04:40Conceive that you there commit a capital error
1:04:40 > 1:04:43cutting you off from all possible human joys.
1:04:43 > 1:04:48In despair you vainly seek contentment in empty pleasure.
1:04:48 > 1:04:51Then...suddenly
1:04:51 > 1:04:55fate offers you the chance of regeneration...
1:04:57 > 1:04:58..and true happiness.
1:04:58 > 1:05:03Are you justified in overleaping the obstacles of mere custom?
1:05:03 > 1:05:06Tell me, Jane. Are you justified?
1:05:06 > 1:05:09How can I answer?
1:05:09 > 1:05:12Every conscience must come to its own decision.
1:05:12 > 1:05:15But if it can't come to a decision?
1:05:15 > 1:05:18If you're afraid that you may bring shame to what you most cherish,
1:05:18 > 1:05:20destroy what you most desire to protect?
1:05:22 > 1:05:26Oh, Jane. Don't you curse me for plaguing you like this?
1:05:26 > 1:05:29- Curse you? No, sir. - Give me your assurance on that.
1:05:31 > 1:05:33Cold fingers.
1:05:33 > 1:05:37They were warmer last night. Jane...
1:05:37 > 1:05:40Will you watch with me again?
1:05:40 > 1:05:43Whenever I can be useful.
1:05:43 > 1:05:46For instance, the night before I'm married.
1:05:46 > 1:05:49Will you sit with me then?
1:05:49 > 1:05:51Are you going to be married, sir?
1:05:51 > 1:05:53Some time. Why not?
1:05:53 > 1:05:55VOICES
1:05:55 > 1:05:57I suppose you think no-one will have me, well, you're wrong.
1:05:57 > 1:05:59You don't know these ladies of fashion.
1:05:59 > 1:06:03They may not admire my person, but they dote on my purse.
1:06:03 > 1:06:06- Blanche?- Good morning, Edward.
1:06:06 > 1:06:08I should scold you for running off(!)
1:06:08 > 1:06:11A correct host entertains his guests.
1:06:11 > 1:06:13My dear Blanche, when will you learn?
1:06:13 > 1:06:16I never was correct, nor ever shall be.
1:06:21 > 1:06:24Very pretty, partner!
1:06:24 > 1:06:29- Thank you.- Edward, I'm glad you've decided to come to London tomorrow.
1:06:29 > 1:06:32- HAVE I? I didn't know. - Very appropriate!
1:06:32 > 1:06:35- What now?- Put the red ball in the top pocket.
1:06:35 > 1:06:38Edward, does that person want you?
1:06:38 > 1:06:40I'm sorry, sir, I did not know you were occupied.
1:06:40 > 1:06:42Miss Eyre.
1:06:42 > 1:06:44I'm sure the ladies will excuse me?
1:06:49 > 1:06:52Governesses!
1:06:52 > 1:06:56I'm sorry, but I understood you were leaving tomorrow,
1:06:56 > 1:06:58- and I wished to ask for a reference. - Reference!
1:06:58 > 1:07:00What the deuce do you want a reference for?
1:07:00 > 1:07:03- To get a new post, sir.- Hm?!- I...
1:07:03 > 1:07:06- You as good as told me you were going to be married.- Ye-es.
1:07:06 > 1:07:09- What then?- In which case Adele ought to go to school.
1:07:09 > 1:07:14To get her out of my bride's way, who otherwise might walk over her?
1:07:16 > 1:07:18There's some sense in it.
1:07:18 > 1:07:20Adele must go to school.
1:07:20 > 1:07:22And you must go to the devil, is that it?!
1:07:22 > 1:07:25I hope not, unless it's the devil who answers my advertisement.
1:07:25 > 1:07:28You've advertised?!
1:07:28 > 1:07:30Not yet, but I shall.
1:07:30 > 1:07:32You'll do nothing of the kind.
1:07:32 > 1:07:33When the time comes to get a new situation,
1:07:33 > 1:07:36I'll get one for you, do you hear?!
1:07:36 > 1:07:39Very well. Goodbye, Mr Rochester.
1:07:39 > 1:07:42Goodbye, Miss Eyre.
1:07:42 > 1:07:44Jane.
1:07:44 > 1:07:46Is that all?
1:07:46 > 1:07:48It seems stingy, to my notion.
1:07:48 > 1:07:50Dry and unfriendly.
1:07:50 > 1:07:53Can't you do more than "goodbye"?
1:07:53 > 1:07:55Well, I'll...
1:07:55 > 1:07:57I'll shake hands, sir.
1:07:58 > 1:08:00Oh, you'll shake hands.
1:08:11 > 1:08:13Goodbye, Jane.
1:08:34 > 1:08:37It is a beautiful place, your Thornfield.
1:08:37 > 1:08:39It's a dungeon that serves its purpose(!)
1:08:39 > 1:08:42- Dungeon? Why, it's a paradise!- Hm.
1:08:42 > 1:08:45But living here, one would need a house in London.
1:08:45 > 1:08:47Unquestionably(!)
1:08:47 > 1:08:50And an apartment in Paris. A Mediterranean villa, too.
1:08:50 > 1:08:51How delightful!
1:08:51 > 1:08:55But Thornfield would always be there as a retreat from the world,
1:08:55 > 1:08:58a green haven of peace, and...
1:08:58 > 1:08:59- and love.- Love?
1:08:59 > 1:09:03A fellow only needs distraction, a houseful of beautiful women,
1:09:03 > 1:09:05to keep him brooding on his woes.
1:09:05 > 1:09:08Peering too closely into the mysteries of his heart.
1:09:08 > 1:09:09That is if he has a heart.
1:09:09 > 1:09:12I sometimes wonder, Edward, if you really do have one.
1:09:12 > 1:09:16If I've made you believe I have, I assure you, it was unintentional.
1:09:16 > 1:09:19- I never...- Never more than at this moment except for when I'm eating my dinner.
1:09:19 > 1:09:21Really, Edward, you can be coarse at times!
1:09:21 > 1:09:24- Can I ever be anything else(!)- Can you?
1:09:24 > 1:09:27Would I have come here if you couldn't?
1:09:27 > 1:09:29A nice point!
1:09:29 > 1:09:32Would you, or not? Let's consider.
1:09:32 > 1:09:36- First, Mr Rochester is coarse, ugly as sin...- Edward!
1:09:36 > 1:09:39Now, Blanche! I repeat, ugly as sin.
1:09:39 > 1:09:43Secondly, flirts, but is careful not to talk of love and marriage,
1:09:43 > 1:09:46but, thirdly, Lady Ingram is rather impoverished, whereas
1:09:46 > 1:09:50the revolting Mr Rochester has £8,000 a year.
1:09:50 > 1:09:54What attitude is Miss Blanche to take?
1:09:54 > 1:09:57I surmise she'd ignore the coarseness
1:09:57 > 1:10:00- until Mr R is hooked. - How dare you!- Now(!)
1:10:00 > 1:10:05- I've never been so insulted! - Indeed, I pay you the compliment of being honest.
1:10:05 > 1:10:08Mr Rochester, you are a boor and a cur!
1:10:28 > 1:10:30I thought you'd gone.
1:10:33 > 1:10:37I changed my mind, or rather, the Ingrams changed theirs.
1:10:38 > 1:10:40Why are you crying?!
1:10:44 > 1:10:47I was thinking about having to leave Thornfield.
1:10:47 > 1:10:50You've become attached to that foolish little Adele, haven't you?
1:10:50 > 1:10:53To that simple, old Fairfax. You'd be sorry to part with them.
1:10:53 > 1:10:56- Yes, sir.- It's always the way.
1:10:56 > 1:11:00As soon as you settle, you must move.
1:11:00 > 1:11:03- I'm ready, when the order comes. - It's come now.
1:11:03 > 1:11:05Then i-it's settled?
1:11:05 > 1:11:09All settled, even about your future situation.
1:11:09 > 1:11:12- You found a place for me? - Ye-es, Jane,
1:11:12 > 1:11:15I have, in the...west of Ireland. You'll like it there.
1:11:15 > 1:11:18There's some warm-hearted people there.
1:11:18 > 1:11:20It's a long way off, sir.
1:11:20 > 1:11:22From what, Jane?
1:11:24 > 1:11:26From England and...
1:11:26 > 1:11:28..from Thornfield.
1:11:32 > 1:11:34Well?
1:11:35 > 1:11:37And from you, sir.
1:11:37 > 1:11:39Yes, Jane, it's a long way.
1:11:39 > 1:11:42When you get there, I shall probably never see you again.
1:11:42 > 1:11:45We've been good friends, Jane, haven't we?
1:11:47 > 1:11:50- Yes, sir.- Even good friends may be forced to part.
1:11:57 > 1:11:59Let's make the most of what time is left us.
1:12:01 > 1:12:03Let us sit here in peace.
1:12:04 > 1:12:07Even though we shall be destined never to sit here again.
1:12:12 > 1:12:17Some times I have a queer feeling with regard to you, Jane.
1:12:17 > 1:12:20Specially when you're near me, as now.
1:12:20 > 1:12:24It's as if I had a string somewhere under my left rib,
1:12:24 > 1:12:29tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string
1:12:29 > 1:12:32in the corresponding corner of your little frame.
1:12:32 > 1:12:35If we must be parted,
1:12:35 > 1:12:39that cord of communion would be snapped.
1:12:39 > 1:12:41And...
1:12:41 > 1:12:44I have the nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly.
1:12:48 > 1:12:51As for you, you'd forget me.
1:12:51 > 1:12:54That I never will, sir. You know it.
1:12:54 > 1:12:59I see the necessity of going, but it's like the necessity of death.
1:12:59 > 1:13:00Where do you see that necessity?
1:13:03 > 1:13:05In your bride.
1:13:05 > 1:13:08What bride? I have no bride.
1:13:08 > 1:13:10But you will have!
1:13:10 > 1:13:12Yes, I will.
1:13:12 > 1:13:14I will.
1:13:14 > 1:13:18Do you think I could stay to become nothing to you?
1:13:18 > 1:13:21You think because I'm poor and obscure and plain,
1:13:21 > 1:13:24that I'm soulless and heartless?
1:13:24 > 1:13:28I've as much soul as you, and fully as much heart.
1:13:28 > 1:13:33If God had gifted me with wealth and beauty,
1:13:33 > 1:13:36I should have made it as hard for you to leave me
1:13:36 > 1:13:40as it is now, for me to leave you.
1:13:40 > 1:13:43- I've spoken my heart, now let me go.- Jane.
1:13:43 > 1:13:46Jane, this strange...
1:13:46 > 1:13:49..this almost unearthly thing.
1:13:49 > 1:13:52You that I love as my own flesh...
1:13:52 > 1:13:54- Don't mock me.- It's not Blanche, it's you I want.
1:13:54 > 1:13:56Answer me, Jane, quickly.
1:13:56 > 1:13:59Say, "Edward I'll marry you." Say it.
1:13:59 > 1:14:01I can't read your face.
1:14:01 > 1:14:03Say, "Edward, I'll marry you."
1:14:05 > 1:14:08Edward, I'll marry you.
1:14:08 > 1:14:09God pardon me!
1:14:19 > 1:14:23"All my doubts and all the grim shadows that hung over Thornfield
1:14:23 > 1:14:26"seemed to vanish - shattered like the riven chestnut-tree.
1:14:26 > 1:14:29"I loved and I was loved.
1:14:29 > 1:14:34"Every sunlit hour I looked forward to love's fulfilment."
1:14:34 > 1:14:37- Jane!- What are you doing?!- Teaching Adele, as usual.- As usual?!
1:14:37 > 1:14:41A new heaven and earth, and you go on teaching Adele, as usual!
1:14:41 > 1:14:43- Why is it wrong? - Because I'm marrying Mademoiselle
1:14:43 > 1:14:46and take Mademoiselle to the moon and find a cave in one of the white
1:14:46 > 1:14:49valleys and Mademoiselle will live with us there forever. You approve?
1:14:49 > 1:14:53There's no-one I'd rather you marry, not even Mrs Fairfax!
1:14:53 > 1:14:56- Some of that and a length of the scarlet.- But I...
1:14:56 > 1:14:59And a length of the scarlet! Some of the gold silk.
1:14:59 > 1:15:02Here you are m'lady, half a guinea each way.
1:15:02 > 1:15:05- Tell your fortune?- Go away, Mother.
1:15:05 > 1:15:07Read the pretty lady's future?
1:15:07 > 1:15:10The pretty lady's going to marry me and we shall make it ourselves!
1:15:31 > 1:15:33I require and charge ye both,
1:15:33 > 1:15:36as ye shall answer at the dreadful day of judgment,
1:15:36 > 1:15:39when all secrets shall be disclosed,
1:15:39 > 1:15:43that if you know of any impediment why ye may not lawfully be joined in
1:15:43 > 1:15:47matrimony, ye do now confess it.
1:15:47 > 1:15:50For be ye assured, if any persons are joined together,
1:15:50 > 1:15:54otherwise than as the word of God doth allow,
1:15:54 > 1:15:57then are they not joined by God
1:15:57 > 1:16:00nor is their matrimony lawful.
1:16:00 > 1:16:05Edward Rochester, wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?
1:16:05 > 1:16:07One moment, please.
1:16:07 > 1:16:10I declare the existence of an impediment.
1:16:10 > 1:16:13Proceed with the ceremony!
1:16:13 > 1:16:15You cannot proceed.
1:16:15 > 1:16:18Mr Rochester has a wife now living.
1:16:18 > 1:16:22- Who are you? - My name is Briggs. I am an attorney.
1:16:22 > 1:16:24Mr Mason!
1:16:24 > 1:16:28On 20th October 1824, Edward Rochester of Thornfield Hall
1:16:28 > 1:16:32was married to Bertha Mason, at St Mary's Church in Jamaica.
1:16:32 > 1:16:35The record is in the register of that church.
1:16:35 > 1:16:38It's true, I swear. She's living at Thornfield. I've seen her
1:16:38 > 1:16:40there myself. I'm her brother.
1:16:45 > 1:16:47Parson, close your book. There'll be no wedding today.
1:16:49 > 1:16:52Instead, I invite you all to my house
1:16:52 > 1:16:54to meet Grace Poole's patient.
1:16:55 > 1:16:57My wife.
1:17:05 > 1:17:07Turn right about, every one of you!
1:17:07 > 1:17:10Away with your congratulations.
1:17:10 > 1:17:13They're 15 years too late.
1:17:30 > 1:17:33SHE SNARLS
1:17:41 > 1:17:44That, gentlemen, is my wife.
1:17:44 > 1:17:47Mad, and the offspring of a mad family,
1:17:47 > 1:17:51to whom the church and law bind me forever, without hope of divorce.
1:17:51 > 1:17:53This is what I wish to have.
1:17:53 > 1:17:56This young girl
1:17:56 > 1:18:00who stands so grave and quiet at the mouth of hell.
1:18:00 > 1:18:02Look at the difference
1:18:02 > 1:18:05and then judge me.
1:19:06 > 1:19:08Jane.
1:19:09 > 1:19:11Jane...
1:19:11 > 1:19:13I did not even know her.
1:19:13 > 1:19:16I was married at 19, in Spanish Town,
1:19:16 > 1:19:18to a bride already courted for me.
1:19:19 > 1:19:22But I married her,
1:19:22 > 1:19:24gross, grovelling, mole-eyed blockhead that I was.
1:19:24 > 1:19:26Jane! Hear me.
1:19:26 > 1:19:29I suffered all the agonies of a man bound to a wife
1:19:29 > 1:19:32at once intemperate and unchaste.
1:19:34 > 1:19:37I watched her excesses drive her at last into madness.
1:19:40 > 1:19:42Then I brought her back to England, to Thornfield.
1:19:42 > 1:19:45Jane, I did everything that God and humanity demanded.
1:19:46 > 1:19:49Then I fled from this place to find a woman I could love,
1:19:49 > 1:19:52a contrast to the fury I left here.
1:19:52 > 1:19:57What did I find? A French dancer, a Viennese milliner,
1:19:57 > 1:20:00a contessa with a taste for jewels.
1:20:00 > 1:20:05Back to England. I rode again in sight of Thornfield.
1:20:05 > 1:20:09Someone was walking there in the moonlight.
1:20:09 > 1:20:13A strange little elfin-like creature, it frightened my horse,
1:20:13 > 1:20:16and then gravely offered me help.
1:20:16 > 1:20:19I was to be aided, and by that hand!
1:20:19 > 1:20:21And aided I was.
1:20:21 > 1:20:23Then later that evening...
1:20:23 > 1:20:25Do you remember, Jane?
1:20:25 > 1:20:28- Say you remember.- I remember.
1:20:28 > 1:20:30You came into that room...
1:20:31 > 1:20:34How shy you were!
1:20:34 > 1:20:38And yet how readily and roundly you answered my questions.
1:20:38 > 1:20:41And then you smiled at me.
1:20:44 > 1:20:46That moment, I knew I'd found you.
1:20:46 > 1:20:49Jane, can you not forgive me?
1:20:49 > 1:20:51I do forgive you.
1:20:51 > 1:20:54And you still love me?
1:20:54 > 1:20:56I do love you, with all my heart.
1:20:56 > 1:21:00I can say it now, since it's for the last time.
1:21:00 > 1:21:03Do you mean to go one way, and let me go another?
1:21:03 > 1:21:04Stay with me, Jane.
1:21:04 > 1:21:08- We'd hurt nobody. - We'd be hurting ourselves.
1:21:08 > 1:21:11Would it be so wicked to love me?
1:21:11 > 1:21:13Would it?
1:21:13 > 1:21:16I could crush you between my hands.
1:21:18 > 1:21:21But your spirit would still be free.
1:21:27 > 1:21:29Jane.
1:21:29 > 1:21:32- You are going?- I am going, sir.
1:21:32 > 1:21:35You will not be my comforter, my rescuer?
1:21:37 > 1:21:39My deep love?
1:21:39 > 1:21:41My frantic prayer?
1:21:43 > 1:21:46Are they nothing to you?
1:21:48 > 1:21:50God bless you, my dear master.
1:21:50 > 1:21:53- God keep you from harm and wrong. - Jane...
1:21:53 > 1:21:55Jane.
1:21:55 > 1:21:57Jane!
1:21:59 > 1:22:01"Going nowhere, I had nowhere to go.
1:22:01 > 1:22:04"Without references I could not find employment.
1:22:04 > 1:22:07"I knew hunger and unsheltered nights.
1:22:07 > 1:22:09"At last old memories, rather than my will
1:22:09 > 1:22:12"drew me back to Gateshead Hall -
1:22:12 > 1:22:14"to Bessie who had once been kind to me."
1:22:30 > 1:22:33- Bessie.- Yes, I'm Bessie.
1:22:33 > 1:22:37If you're looking for work, we haven't got none for no-one nowadays.
1:22:38 > 1:22:42You look poorly, lass. If you're cold you may sit by the fire.
1:22:56 > 1:22:58Sit down, lass.
1:23:07 > 1:23:10Where did you get that brooch?
1:23:10 > 1:23:12You gave it to me, Bessie.
1:23:12 > 1:23:14Jane!
1:23:14 > 1:23:16Jane Eyre!
1:23:16 > 1:23:18A grown young lady and you were such a tiny thing,
1:23:18 > 1:23:21no higher than a broomstick. Oh, Miss Jane.
1:23:21 > 1:23:22BELL RINGS
1:23:22 > 1:23:26- That's your poor aunt.- Don't tell Aunt Reed or Cousin John I'm here.
1:23:26 > 1:23:29Master John isn't here any more.
1:23:29 > 1:23:33As soon as he was of age he was off to London. Gambling, it was.
1:23:33 > 1:23:35Thousands and thousands of pounds the mistress paid for him.
1:23:35 > 1:23:38She had to shut up most the house and turn off the other servants
1:23:38 > 1:23:41but still he kept plaguing her for money.
1:23:41 > 1:23:45Then, last summer, he killed himself, Miss Jane.
1:23:45 > 1:23:50They found him hanging and the cards still on the table.
1:23:50 > 1:23:53When they told the mistress she had a kind of stroke,
1:23:53 > 1:23:54wandering like in her mind.
1:23:54 > 1:23:57BELL RINGS
1:24:03 > 1:24:06- Is that you, Bessie? - Yes, ma'am.
1:24:11 > 1:24:13Who are you?
1:24:13 > 1:24:15Go away.
1:24:15 > 1:24:18I'm Jane, Aunt Reed.
1:24:18 > 1:24:19Jane Eyre.
1:24:19 > 1:24:22Jane...Eyre.
1:24:27 > 1:24:32Nobody can know the trouble I've had with that child.
1:24:32 > 1:24:34Little pauper brat.
1:24:34 > 1:24:36Should have been in...
1:24:36 > 1:24:37..workhouse.
1:24:45 > 1:24:48Jane...
1:24:48 > 1:24:51Jane Eyre.
1:24:51 > 1:24:54Oh! Oh, don't leave me, Jane.
1:24:54 > 1:24:56Please don't leave me.
1:25:00 > 1:25:02I won't leave you.
1:25:05 > 1:25:07Oh... Oh.
1:25:17 > 1:25:21No, sir, Mistress can't see nobody. She's been ill for months.
1:25:21 > 1:25:24I wanted to make some enquiries about a niece of hers, Miss Eyre.
1:25:24 > 1:25:27Would you wait inside?
1:25:27 > 1:25:29Thank you.
1:25:33 > 1:25:35Gentleman to see you, Miss Jane.
1:25:35 > 1:25:38I don't want to see him, I don't want to see anyone.
1:25:38 > 1:25:41Don't be foolish. You can't live all alone!
1:25:41 > 1:25:44I'll see to the mistress. Run along now, he's waiting.
1:25:52 > 1:25:54Jane!
1:25:54 > 1:25:56- How did you know I was here? - I didn't.
1:25:56 > 1:25:58I was trying to find you.
1:25:58 > 1:26:01I received an enquiry about you the other day.
1:26:01 > 1:26:04You didn't stay in that place you went to very long, did you?
1:26:04 > 1:26:06Didn't you like it?
1:26:06 > 1:26:08What happened?
1:26:08 > 1:26:11I had to leave.
1:26:11 > 1:26:14Forgive me, it's no business of mine.
1:26:14 > 1:26:18But I must ask about this letter.
1:26:18 > 1:26:19It comes from a lawyer in Millcot.
1:26:19 > 1:26:22He writes to me as the person whose name you gave as a reference
1:26:22 > 1:26:24when you went to Thornfield
1:26:24 > 1:26:28A client of his wants to know your whereabouts.
1:26:28 > 1:26:30Do you know who's enquiring for you?
1:26:32 > 1:26:34Jane, if you don't want me to talk about this any more, I won't.
1:26:36 > 1:26:38Thank you, Dr Rivers.
1:26:38 > 1:26:40It's for you to say.
1:26:42 > 1:26:45Would you rather I didn't answer it at all?
1:27:11 > 1:27:1535 bob. Any advance on 35? £2 is bid.
1:27:15 > 1:27:18Going at £2. Going, going... Take it away, Bill.
1:28:02 > 1:28:04Jane.
1:28:06 > 1:28:08Jane.
1:28:08 > 1:28:10Jane!
1:28:15 > 1:28:19"It seemed the cry of a soul in pain, an appeal so wild and urgent
1:28:19 > 1:28:22"that I knew I must go and go quickly.
1:28:22 > 1:28:25"Only when I knew what had happened to him -
1:28:25 > 1:28:28"Only when I had looked once more upon that tortured face -
1:28:28 > 1:28:29"could I make my decision."
1:28:31 > 1:28:34It was she who did it, Miss Eyre.
1:28:34 > 1:28:36She struck down Grace Poole as she slept
1:28:36 > 1:28:40and then she set fire to Thornfield.
1:28:40 > 1:28:42It was her laugh in the gallery that woke me.
1:28:44 > 1:28:47I ran to the nursery, wrapped Adele in a shawl and carried her down.
1:28:49 > 1:28:52As we came out into the courtyard I heard her laugh again.
1:28:55 > 1:28:57I looked up and there she was on the roof,
1:28:57 > 1:29:01laughing and waving her arms above the battlements.
1:29:01 > 1:29:03Mr Edward saw her as he came out.
1:29:03 > 1:29:07He did not say anything but went back into the house
1:29:07 > 1:29:08to try to save her.
1:29:08 > 1:29:12All this side of the house was blazing.
1:29:12 > 1:29:13There was smoke everywhere.
1:29:15 > 1:29:19Then it cleared and suddenly we saw Mr Edward behind her on the battlements.
1:29:19 > 1:29:22She saw him too.
1:29:22 > 1:29:24He came towards her to help her down.
1:29:24 > 1:29:27She stood very still for a moment
1:29:27 > 1:29:29and just as he seemed to reach her
1:29:29 > 1:29:34she gave a dreadful scream and ran from him to the edge.
1:29:34 > 1:29:37The next moment she lay smashed on the pavement before us.
1:29:39 > 1:29:42She was dead, Miss Eyre.
1:29:46 > 1:29:48Mr Edward?
1:29:48 > 1:29:50The great staircase fell in as he was coming down.
1:29:52 > 1:29:54DOG BARKS
1:30:11 > 1:30:13- Mrs Fairfax.- Yes, sir.
1:30:14 > 1:30:17Why are you in this part of the house?
1:30:17 > 1:30:20- Adele is waiting for her supper. - Yes, sir.
1:30:26 > 1:30:28Here, Pilot!
1:30:34 > 1:30:36Who's there?
1:30:37 > 1:30:39Who are you?!
1:30:39 > 1:30:42I've come back, sir.
1:30:50 > 1:30:52Edward, Edward.
1:30:52 > 1:30:55Your fingers.
1:30:55 > 1:30:59Those small, soft fingers.
1:31:01 > 1:31:03Hair.
1:31:06 > 1:31:09A little flower-soft face.
1:31:09 > 1:31:11And a heart too, Edward.
1:31:11 > 1:31:13Jane!
1:31:13 > 1:31:16All you can feel now is mere pity.
1:31:17 > 1:31:19I don't want your pity!
1:31:21 > 1:31:23Edward!
1:31:25 > 1:31:28You can't spend your life with the mere wreckage of a man.
1:31:28 > 1:31:31You're young and fresh, you'll get married.
1:31:31 > 1:31:33Don't send me away.
1:31:33 > 1:31:35Please don't send me away!
1:31:37 > 1:31:39You think I want to let you go?
1:31:50 > 1:31:53"As the months went past he came to see the light once more
1:31:53 > 1:31:55"as well as to feel its warmth.
1:31:55 > 1:31:58"To see first the glory of the sun
1:31:58 > 1:32:01"and then the mild splendour of the moon and at last the evening star.
1:32:03 > 1:32:06"And then one day, when our first-born was put into his arms
1:32:06 > 1:32:10"he could see the boy had inherited his own eyes as they once were -
1:32:10 > 1:32:13"large, brilliant and black."
