00:00:00Will you ride with me to the station, Tess?
00:00:07Go on, matey.
00:00:10Come on, you three. Back to work.
00:00:30Come here.
00:00:46Come here.
00:00:51Come here.
00:01:05There you go, John.
00:01:06Londoners will drink the milk at their breakfast tomorrow, won't they?
00:01:08Yes, I suppose they will.
00:01:10Local men and women, ambassadors and centurions,
00:01:14and ladies and babies who've never even seen a cow.
00:01:17Especially centurions.
00:01:19They don't know anything about us, or where we come from,
00:01:21or how we drove two miles.
00:01:23Just so we'd reach them in time.
00:01:26We didn't drive together entirely on account of these precious Londoners, Tess.
00:01:34We're done now.
00:01:49Tess, am I right in thinking that your heart belongs to me?
00:02:01You know as well as I, yes.
00:02:03Then if your heart, why not your hand?
00:02:06My only reason is on account of you.
00:02:08I'm concerned for your happiness.
00:02:10So am I.
00:02:11Tess, you understand that I wish to marry you for entirely selfish reasons.
00:02:15Angel, I want to tell you about my life before I...
00:02:17I want you to make me happy.
00:02:18I do too, which is why I must tell you my history.
00:02:20I want you to know it.
00:02:22I shall make you happy too.
00:02:23You will not like me so well.
00:02:26Come on, Willa.
00:02:27Come on.
00:02:31Angel.
00:02:32Go on then.
00:02:33Your history.
00:02:34You were born at so-and-so.
00:02:36Marlet.
00:02:37You grew up there.
00:02:38I'm...
00:02:39Marlet.
00:02:41The dancing.
00:02:43The May dance.
00:02:45I have met you before.
00:02:48Yes, at the dance on the green, but you wouldn't dance with me.
00:02:52Why didn't you stay and love me when I was 16 and you danced on the green?
00:02:56Why didn't you?
00:02:57Just what I feel.
00:02:58Why didn't I stay?
00:02:59Why didn't I?
00:03:00If I'd only known.
00:03:03It was fate.
00:03:04But, Tess.
00:03:05Fate has brought us together again.
00:03:07What does it matter?
00:03:09I...
00:03:10I only meant that I would have had four more years knowing you.
00:03:14I wouldn't have wasted my time.
00:03:16Well, I don't believe that you have.
00:03:18Otherwise, you wouldn't be what you are.
00:03:20What I am.
00:03:23The most perfect woman I have ever met.
00:03:30Tess.
00:03:31I sometimes wish I'd never been born.
00:03:32Tess.
00:03:33How can you say that?
00:03:34Often.
00:03:36,
00:03:39.
00:03:40.
00:03:46I ...
00:03:50I sometimes wish I'd never been born.
00:03:51Tess.
00:03:52How can you say that?
00:03:53Often.
00:03:56.
00:03:58Do you really care for me deeply?
00:04:07There. Now do you believe?
00:04:29Yes. Yes, I do. No, I never really doubt it.
00:04:33I do love you with all my heart, but I... I don't deserve...
00:04:43Don't start saying that you don't deserve this and you don't deserve that.
00:04:48You really do not know your own worth, Tess.
00:04:52Forgive me. I interrupted your tale.
00:04:56You were born at Marlott, Teresa Durberfield.
00:04:59Yes, except I'm not a Durberfield, but a Durberville.
00:05:05A descendant of the ancient family. Though we are nothing now.
00:05:09Durberville?
00:05:12You are a Durberville indeed.
00:05:16And is that the trouble?
00:05:20Yes.
00:05:22But why should I love you any less knowing that?
00:05:26Because I heard say that you hated old families.
00:05:29Well, it's true in one sense. I do hate the aristocratic principle.
00:05:33I believe that people should be valued for what they are, not their lineage.
00:05:37But, Tess, you must spell your name correctly from this day on.
00:05:42Durberville!
00:05:43Angel, I would rather not take the name. It may be unlucky.
00:05:47Then the answer is simple.
00:05:52Take my name and escape your own.
00:05:57Your secret is out.
00:06:00So how can you now refuse?
00:06:02If it's sure to make you very happy to have me as your wife.
00:06:06And you feel that you do wish to marry me very, very much.
00:06:10Yes. Yes, I do.
00:06:13I mean that you've said that you want me very much
00:06:17and that you were hardly able to keep alive without me whatever I've done.
00:06:21Yes, yes.
00:06:23It's only that makes me feel I ought to say I will.
00:06:31You will.
00:06:33You will say it.
00:06:36You will be mine forever.
00:06:40Yes.
00:06:41Yes.
00:06:42Yes.
00:07:06Yes, yes.
00:07:07Yes, yes.
00:07:24The past would not go away, but appeared right there before her in the shape of her old enemy,
00:07:35Cardarch, filling Tess with the dread of exposure.
00:07:54What did you promise me?
00:08:22What did you promise me the day you left?
00:08:24Mother, you made me promise...
00:08:25But what did you promise?
00:08:26That I would never...
00:08:28That you would never tell a soul about your past.
00:08:30But I feel I ought to tell him.
00:08:32On no account.
00:08:34I feel I owe it to him.
00:08:37I didn't even tell your father everything.
00:08:44Look, Tess, I've left Liza Lou looking after the children, but I must get back.
00:08:49Do not listen to me.
00:08:52On no account must you tell.
00:08:54Men are very proud of their respectability.
00:08:56Your father is.
00:08:57Unlikely your intended is the same.
00:08:59But I'd feel I was living a lie.
00:09:01I must tell him.
00:09:03Never, never tell.
00:09:05It was a long time ago and not your fault at all.
00:09:08Well, you must forget it ever happened.
00:09:12On the eve of her wedding, Tess listened to her own heart and made the fateful decision that she must tell Angel everything about her past.
00:09:41And so she began her confession.
00:09:46...
00:09:48Dearest Angel.
00:09:52I have not told you everything about my past and I must do so before it is too late.
00:09:57When I was still only 16, I went to work for some relatives of my family and there, there
00:10:08I encountered a distant cousin whose name was Alec. Alec Derbeville.
00:10:27.
00:10:42.
00:10:48.
00:10:52It's turning to do something out of the big day.
00:11:08Oh, it looks marvellous.
00:11:15Oh, look.
00:11:17It's all so welcoming, so festive.
00:11:19Well, we thought we'd at least do it up.
00:11:20As soon as you didn't want us to invite everyone
00:11:22and have a big party with fiddles and viols.
00:11:25No, we just wanted quiet.
00:11:26So this was quite a celebration we could think of.
00:11:29Thank you. Thank you both.
00:11:34Isn't this lovely, darling?
00:11:35It's very kind of you both. Thank you very much.
00:11:38You're welcome.
00:11:48Did you sleep well, darling?
00:11:49Like a log.
00:11:50Did you?
00:11:52I was too excited.
00:11:55Angel, we must talk.
00:11:57Finish your breakfast.
00:11:58Finish your breakfast.
00:11:58Finish your breakfast.

00:14:19Darlings, I shall remember you always.
00:14:31Bye.
00:14:31Good luck.
00:14:43I got you!
00:14:49I don't like to hear that.
00:14:55What, darling?
00:14:57Crowing in the afternoon.
00:14:59I don't like it.
00:15:01Angel, tell him to drive on.
00:15:04Drive on.
00:15:05I've not heard a cock crow in the afternoon the whole year.
00:15:11Goodbye!
00:15:13Goodbye!
00:15:14Bye!
00:15:15Bye!
00:15:16Bye!
00:15:17Bye!
00:15:18Back to you!
00:15:40Thank you!
00:15:41Welcome to the Ancestral Manor of the D'Urbervilles.
00:15:42Welcome to the Ancestral Manor of the D'Urbervilles.
00:15:43Welcome to the Ancestral Manor of the D'Urbervilles.
00:15:44Welcome to the Ancestral Manor of the D'Urbervilles.
00:15:52Well, it was once. Now, it's rented out. It's ours for the week. I wanted to surprise you.
00:15:56Well, it was once. Now, it's rented out. It's ours for the week. I wanted to surprise you.
00:16:17We had the place to ourselves as the owners have gone away, bless them.
00:16:26She looks horrid. Who is it?
00:16:34That's one of your ancestors, I'm afraid, my dear.
00:16:37I don't look anything like her. Do I?
00:16:42I don't know about that. I think there could be a certain resemblance.
00:16:48Angel, how dare you!
00:16:56Which fingers are mine and which are yours?
00:17:22They're all yours.
00:17:24They're all yours.
00:17:26My mother wanted you to have these.
00:17:38What are they?
00:17:42What are they?
00:17:44What are they?
00:17:46What?
00:17:48What is it?
00:17:50Tess.
00:18:20How beautiful you are.
00:18:50Do you remember what we were saying to each other this morning about confessing our faults?
00:19:09Yes.
00:19:12I have a confession to make to you, dear.
00:19:16You have to confess something.
00:19:20You didn't expect it.
00:19:23You thought too highly of me.
00:19:27Sit down here.
00:19:29I wonder if you'll forgive me.
00:19:34I'm sure that I will.
00:19:36I hope that you will.
00:19:38But I mustn't say that.
00:19:40I must tell you first.
00:19:43You know, Tess, that I am not religious, though I think I may claim to have my moral beliefs.
00:19:50Above all, I value simplicity and purity.
00:19:56So you can imagine how I felt when, with all my fine sentiments, I myself fell.
00:20:08Briefly, I was alone in London studying.
00:20:13And I met a woman.
00:20:16A woman some years older than myself.
00:20:19And I spent two days with her.
00:20:24Two days and...
00:20:29Two nights of...
00:20:33Madness.
00:20:37Afterwards, I was eaten up with remorse and guilt.
00:20:41I couldn't even speak to the woman.
00:20:44I left and went home.
00:20:48It's never happened again.
00:20:51But I felt that I must tell you.
00:20:57Can you forgive me?
00:21:01Yes.
00:21:04Yes.
00:21:07Oh, Angel, I'm almost glad.
00:21:11Because now you can forgive me.
00:21:17I have not made my confession.
00:21:20Remember?
00:21:21Another one.
00:21:23I tried to tell you this morning.
00:21:26Oh, yes.
00:21:27So you said.
00:21:29You smiled, but it may be as serious as yours or more so.
00:21:33Well, it could hardly be more serious, my love.
00:21:35No, it can't.
00:21:39Can it?
00:21:41No, it can't be more serious, certainly.
00:21:46Because it's just the same.
00:21:59I'll tell you now.
00:22:05When I was still only sixteen.
00:22:08I went to work for some relatives in my family.
00:22:12And there encountered a distant cousin.
00:22:15Whose name was Alec.
00:22:19Alec d'Urbeville.
00:22:24And so she told him her story.
00:22:27Speaking the words without flinching.
00:22:30And sparing herself nothing.
00:22:33Angel.
00:22:46I was a child.
00:22:48A child when it happened.
00:22:50I knew nothing of men.
00:22:58You were more sinned against than sinning, I admit.
00:23:01Then can't you forgive me?
00:23:03I do forgive you.
00:23:07But you no longer love me.
00:23:10You're not the woman I loved.
00:23:12I thought you loved me, Angel.
00:23:19Me.
00:23:20My very self.
00:23:23As I love you.
00:23:26Tess, I sometimes used to feel that you regarded me more as an intelligence than as a man.
00:23:41And I believe that I in turn regarded you more as an ideal than a woman.
00:23:45I saw you as some fresh virginal daughter of nature.
00:23:50The very essence of womanhood more than as a flesh and blood woman.
00:23:55But you are flesh and blood after all.
00:24:00And the irony is that that impulse that drew you to me is the same impulse that drew you to that man.
00:24:07No.
00:24:08My feelings for him were nothing like those which drew me to you.
00:24:15Your feelings for him?
00:24:18What were they?
00:24:19I mean that I didn't love him in the way that...
00:24:21No, I understand that.
00:24:22I believe that.
00:24:23But your feelings for him?
00:24:25You found him attractive.
00:24:27Well, he was good looking in a way and...
00:24:31He knew that you found him attractive.
00:24:36I can't speak for him.
00:24:37Oh, come, come.
00:24:38A man knows when a woman finds him attractive, as a woman does in reverse.
00:24:42He may have known, but he knew I didn't love him.
00:24:53Can you say, hand on heart, that he was solely, singly, entirely to blame for what happened?
00:25:03No.
00:25:16No.
00:25:17No.
00:25:46No.
00:25:47No.
00:25:48No.
00:25:49No.
00:25:50No.
00:25:51No.
00:25:52No.
00:25:53No.
00:25:54No.
00:25:55No.
00:25:56No.
00:25:57No.
00:25:58No.
00:25:59No.
00:26:00No.
00:26:01I could never forget those lovers, their faces blind to time and place, each isolated in their
00:26:07mutual despair.
00:26:09I'm sorry.
00:26:22I need to be alone.
00:26:25Would you mind going back to the house?
00:26:39I need to be alone.
00:27:09I need to be alone.
00:27:39I need to be alone.
00:28:09I need to be alone.
00:28:39Is he living?
00:28:42My baby died.
00:28:44Yes.
00:28:45But the man.
00:28:47He's alive.
00:28:48If you cannot love me, cannot love me at all, there is a way out for you.
00:29:04You can divorce me.
00:29:05How can I divorce you, Tess?
00:29:11Tess, I can't divorce you.
00:29:15You don't know the law.
00:29:17You can't?
00:29:18I thought that would be a way out.
00:29:23I thought that would be a way out.
00:29:24It's impossible.
00:29:26I suppose you're not going to live with me long.
00:29:34How can we live together while that man lives?
00:29:38He being your husband in nature and not I.
00:29:41You must go away from me.
00:29:48You must go away from me.
00:29:52Yes.
00:29:56But what can you do?
00:29:57I can go home.
00:29:59I can go home.
00:30:00Home?
00:30:01Are you sure?
00:30:04Quite sure.
00:30:06We ought to part.
00:30:09And we may as well get it passed and done.
00:30:12And you would like to go home?
00:30:22I want to leave you and go home.
00:30:42I want to leave you and go home.
00:30:44I want to leave you and go home home.
00:30:49Come home and leave you.
00:30:52I'm right.
00:30:52I let the police mean I should go home.
00:30:56I Caroline Elodson is able to drive with me habilitating
00:31:00its advantage.
00:31:01I'll just help my life better instead of어가何 bandaid or pins
00:31:05with my parents together to do that Guelph P near the United Frontier.
00:31:08I'll just ask you, Mr. Saint Lou,
00:31:11This should provide for you, Tess.
00:31:17I'll write to you.
00:31:20I may I write to you?
00:31:22Oh, yes.
00:31:23By my parents.
00:31:24If you are ill or if you should want for anything at all.
00:31:41Tess, I hope that there is no anger between us.
00:31:49I certainly feel no anger towards you.
00:31:52Though deep down I feel.
00:32:00I feel what I cannot express and can hardly endure.
00:32:41Let's go.
00:33:11You little fool. You little fool. I told you not to tell him.
00:33:20I know it. I know. But I couldn't help it.
00:33:23He was so good and it seemed so wicked to try not to tell him what had happened.
00:33:32If it were to be done again, I should have to do the same.
00:33:36I could not. I dared not so sin against him.
00:33:41You said you loved to marry him first.
00:33:43Yes, that's the agony of it.
00:33:46But if you knew, if you could only half know how much I loved him,
00:33:51how desperate I was to have him and how torn I was between my love for him
00:33:57and my wish to be fair to him.
00:34:04Well, what's done can't be undone.
00:34:06But you should have known better than to blabber about such things when he couldn't have found out until it was too late.
00:34:16What your father will say, I dread to think.
00:34:23If he's told the whole A-louse about the wedding, he talks of nothing else.
00:34:28About his family getting back to their rightful position through you.
00:34:32Poor silly man.
00:34:33I know you make this mess of him.
00:34:38Oh, Lord, oh Lord.
00:34:44You'd better let me break the bad news to him.
00:34:47You stay out of his sight for a while.
00:34:49What about her?
00:34:56What's she got to do?
00:34:58She can make him keep her if he's married, can't she?
00:35:02Oh, yes, but she won't think of doing that.
00:35:05Do you think he really has married her, or is it like the other fella?
00:35:10Well, listening to the doubts of her own father,
00:35:14Tess realized that she could no longer live at home.
00:35:17And so, for the third time, she went her own way,
00:35:21leaving the family the money given to her by Angel.
00:35:26Thus, Tess walks on.
00:35:29A figure which is part of the landscape.
00:35:31A field woman, pure and simple,
00:35:34with no sign of young passion in her now.
00:35:36A casual laborer on short hirings.
00:35:41Hedging, well-sinking, ditching, man's work.
00:35:48Her object now is a winter's work and a winter's home.
00:35:53Of the winter wind she knows the worst.
00:35:56And the bitter sky.
00:36:02She has learned too well for her years
00:36:04of the dust and ashes of things.
00:36:08Of the cruelty of lust.
00:36:11And the fragility of love.
00:36:13Has it really come to this, Tess?
00:36:36And to think you'll be a gentleman's wife
00:36:40don't seem fair,
00:36:42that you should be acting Swedes and lifting stones.
00:36:47Yes, it is.
00:36:48Quite fair.
00:36:49Why do you have to work for your living
00:36:51when you are Mrs. Angel Clare?
00:36:54Marion, please don't talk about it.
00:36:58Please.
00:36:59All right.
00:37:01But upon my body,
00:37:02there's a wrong life for a married couple.
00:37:04There.
00:37:04Won't say another word about it.
00:37:06I can't leave it off now.
00:37:13It is my only comfort.
00:37:21I don't think he's too fond of a husband
00:37:23to go off and leave you like this.
00:37:24He had to go.
00:37:25He was obliged to go.
00:37:27To look for land.
00:37:29Well, he might have tidied you over the winter.
00:37:30Oh, that's owing to a misunderstanding.
00:37:36So where is he then?
00:37:38Oh, east.
00:37:40West.
00:37:40He didn't go away like some husbands without telling me.
00:37:47And he told me that if I ever wanted to do anything,
00:37:49I only had to go and see his family.
00:37:50And have you?
00:37:51I did once walk to their village.
00:37:57And I saw them.
00:37:58I saw them.
00:37:59I saw them outside the church.
00:38:01But they...
00:38:01They all looked so grand standing there.
00:38:04I couldn't face them.
00:38:05I couldn't go cap in hand.
00:38:09But you're his wife.
00:38:10You had every right.
00:38:11Yes, I am, but...
00:38:12Oh, why do you keep making excuses for him?
00:38:15I'm not making excuses.
00:38:17He doesn't know how I am.
00:38:18Well, maybe it's time you told him.
00:38:23When did you last hear from him?
00:38:27Not for...
00:38:29almost a year.
00:38:31Oh, Tess!
00:38:34I know how proud you are,
00:38:35but you're not helping yourself, are you,
00:38:38by suffering in silence.
00:38:42Oh, it's too cruel.
00:38:44And it's not even fair to him.
00:38:47At least write to him.
00:38:50Write to him and let him know your plight.
00:39:03Oh, foolish relations!
00:39:05Who has bewitched you
00:39:06that ye should not obey the truth
00:39:08before whose eyes Jesus Christ?
00:39:11have been evidently set forth
00:39:12and crucified amongst you.
00:39:15Believe me, I know,
00:39:17for I myself have been the greatest of sinners.
00:39:20Amen.
00:39:21I have wantonly been with the reckless
00:39:23and the lewd.
00:39:25Yea, verily, I have seen the light.
00:39:28Hallelujah!
00:39:28The Lord spake unto me and...
00:39:30and the joy of his word.
00:39:37Tess, it's Alec.
00:39:52Alec d'Urberville.
00:39:54So I see.
00:39:55Oh, is that all?
00:39:57Is that all I deserve?
00:40:00I suppose I look quite ridiculous in your eyes
00:40:02in this situation, dressed like this.
00:40:03Yes?
00:40:04Tess, please, wait!
00:40:06Just for a minute.
00:40:07I don't like the idea of you thinking me ridiculous.
00:40:20You know my mother died?
00:40:22No.
00:40:25I'm sorry.
00:40:26I was sorry too.
00:40:29More sorry than I imagined
00:40:30because, as you know,
00:40:30I couldn't stand the old woman.
00:40:34After her death,
00:40:35I went up north for a couple of years.
00:40:38I got involved with a group of Methodists.
00:40:40Don't laugh.
00:40:42I was ready for change.
00:40:45They were kind, gentle people
00:40:46and they helped me reclaim my faith.
00:40:48You don't believe me?
00:40:53I don't believe in these sudden conversions,
00:40:56these flashes of faith.
00:40:58They have no depth,
00:41:00nor permanence.
00:41:03Tess, don't look at me like that.
00:41:04I'll weaken.
00:41:07I'm sorry.
00:41:09Tess,
00:41:10I must go back.
00:41:12My people are waiting.
00:41:13I must see you again
00:41:15and hear you.
00:41:17You speak with more eloquence
00:41:19than I remember.
00:41:20I've learned things in my troubles.
00:41:23Troubles?
00:41:25What troubles?
00:41:30I knew nothing about it.
00:41:35Why didn't you write?
00:41:36Hmm?
00:41:36When you knew you were carrying a child,
00:41:39I would have helped you.
00:41:40You know that.
00:41:41And maybe if I had,
00:41:43the child might have survived.
00:41:44How dare you say that?
00:41:46My child wanted for nothing,
00:41:48neither material things nor love,
00:41:49but nobody could have saved...
00:41:51I fathered a child.
00:41:53It died before I knew of its existence.
00:41:56Was it a boy, a girl?
00:41:57Tell me.
00:41:57Let me go.
00:41:58What was its name?
00:41:59I need to know.
00:42:00There is no more to say.
00:42:01Don't come near me again.
00:42:03Ever.
00:42:03Ever.
00:42:14Oh, Tessie, Tessie, look, look.
00:42:20The vicar.
00:42:21Ha, ha, ha.
00:42:24Woo-hoo.
00:42:25That's in done for.
00:42:26Ah, here's a man to save us poor women.
00:42:38Bible bishop.
00:42:41Tess, I want to speak to you.
00:42:43I told you not to come near me.
00:42:46Yes, but I have good reason.
00:42:51Tess, it breaks my heart to see you slaving away like this.
00:42:57Especially when I know the blame is mine.
00:42:58I cannot undo it, Tess.
00:43:01But I can try to make amends.
00:43:05I've obtained this.
00:43:07What is it?
00:43:08It's a marriage license.
00:43:16No.
00:43:18No.
00:43:18I don't want you to think that I'm asking for your hand simply out of duty.
00:43:32In this case, duty follows desire.
00:43:34The truth is that I love you.
00:43:36I've loved you ever since we first met.
00:43:40You know I feel nothing for you.
00:43:42You have every right to feel bitterness towards me, but given time, you may learn to forget.
00:43:46Never.
00:43:47How can you be so sure?
00:43:48I love somebody else.
00:43:49Somebody else?
00:43:51Yes.
00:43:52It may not last.
00:43:53It may be a passing fancy.
00:43:55No.
00:43:55How do you know?
00:43:56You must tell me.
00:43:57All right, then.
00:43:58I've married him.
00:44:00What?
00:44:02Married?
00:44:04Who?
00:44:04Who is he?
00:44:06Does he work here?
00:44:07Here, I should think not.
00:44:08Who, then?
00:44:10Please stop questioning me.
00:44:12It's none of your business.
00:44:14Remember, we're strangers now.
00:44:18We're both strangers, are we?
00:44:20You and I.
00:44:22Strangers.
00:44:26All right, then.
00:44:26But if you just tell me who your husband is, then maybe I can help you and him.
00:44:35Where is he?
00:44:36He's far away.
00:44:38Far away?
00:44:39Far away from you?
00:44:40What sort of husband is he?
00:44:41Don't speak against him.
00:44:43It was because of you.
00:44:44He found out.
00:44:47I see.
00:44:48That's sad, Tess.
00:44:50Yes.
00:44:52But to leave you here, to work like this...
00:44:55He doesn't know about it.
00:44:55He doesn't know how I live.
00:44:56It's my own choice.
00:44:57What, does he write?
00:44:59I've said all I'm going to say.
00:45:00That means he doesn't.
00:45:02Listen, Tess, you're a deserted wife.
00:45:03No, don't.
00:45:05Please, don't.
00:45:06Go away for the sake of me and my husband.
00:45:08Believe me, I didn't mean to.
00:45:10Look, if you won't marry me or can't, then I want you to give up this awful work.
00:45:14Get out of this hellhole.
00:45:16I want you to come and live with me.
00:45:18Tess, my carriage is waiting.
00:45:20And it's mine, darling, not his.
00:45:22You know the rest.
00:45:23Come with me.
00:45:23Come with me now.
00:45:24And leave that mule that you call your husband forever.
00:45:31But remember, my fine lady.
00:45:33I was master of you once.
00:45:34I'll be master of you again.
00:45:36If you are any man's wife, you are mine.
00:45:54Tess was exhausted in body, yet her mind would not rest.
00:46:21Anniversaries crowded in on her.
00:46:23It was four years since that night in the forest with Alec.
00:46:27Three years since her baby's sorrow died.
00:46:30And a year since her wedding and angel's departure.
00:46:34When would he come back?
00:46:37When would she see him again?
00:46:44Daddy.
00:46:45Daddy.
00:47:12Daddy.
00:47:12Let's go.
00:47:42You want to get a cut of this, don't you?
00:47:55Like I just done.
00:47:56It wouldn't look so pale then.
00:47:59Souls above, you look like you're going to drop down dead.
00:48:03Come on, then.
00:48:12I'm here again, as you see.
00:48:40Why do you trouble me so?
00:48:43I trouble you.
00:48:44I might ask why you trouble me.
00:48:47I'm sure I don't trouble you.
00:48:50Well, never mind.
00:48:52I'm here again.
00:48:55As in the old days.
00:48:57Not as then.
00:48:59Never as then.
00:49:01Different now.
00:49:02The difference is that you are in a bad way.
00:49:06Neglected by one who ought to cherish you.
00:49:10Wait, I've more to say.
00:49:11I can't.
00:49:12I must go down.
00:49:14I've been to see your mother.
00:49:18My mother?
00:49:21How is she?
00:49:23She's poorly, I'm afraid.
00:49:25Poor mother.
00:49:26I didn't know.
00:49:26She asked where you were.
00:49:28I think she'd like to see you.
00:49:33Oh, God.
00:49:34Tess, I know you have every reason to be mistrustful of me, but in this at least, please, trust me.
00:49:43I want to help you.
00:49:45I have enough and more than enough to make you all comfortable, you, your parents, your brothers and sisters.
00:49:52God, don't mention my brothers and sisters.
00:49:54If you want to help your poor relations, God knows they need it.
00:50:00Do it without telling me.
00:50:02All I'm asking is that you have confidence in me.
00:50:07Very well.
00:50:13But I can't.
00:50:16I won't take anything from you.
00:50:19Not for them, nor for me.
00:50:23My dear husband, let me call you so, even if it makes you angry.
00:50:43I must cry to you in my trouble.
00:50:46I have no one else.
00:50:47I'm so exposed to temptation, angel.
00:50:52I fear to say who it is, and I do not like to write about it at all.
00:50:56But I cling to you in a way you cannot think.
00:51:01Can you not come to me now, at once?
00:51:04I need you desperately.
00:51:07Come to me.
00:51:09Come to me and save me from what threatens me.
00:51:17Mother, I was led to believe you were a death to a work.
00:51:35No.
00:51:36Who told you that?
00:51:37Mr. Durbyville?
00:51:40Well, I was poorly, but I'm better now.
00:51:43I've had some bad days of labor.
00:51:45He doesn't know what us country women are like.
00:51:46We just get on with it, don't we?
00:51:48Why are you up doing the washing at this hour?
00:51:51Well, I was in bed all day.
00:51:53So when it came time to sleep, I woke up.
00:51:57I'm catching up.
00:51:58I've been all topsy-turvy.
00:52:01And father?
00:52:03Oh, he's all right.
00:52:04Especially now he's got some ale money in his pocket.
00:52:08Who knew your father?
00:52:09Tessie wouldn't take money from anyone else.
00:52:17But he accepted it from Mr. Durbyville, seeing his easy relation.
00:52:21Mother, it's very kind of him, I'm sure.
00:52:24But we can manage, can't we?
00:52:28I work the allotment.
00:52:31We had to eat the seed potatoes.
00:52:33Was it so bad, then?
00:52:40Well, the children had to eat.
00:52:43I'll get some more.
00:52:44I didn't realize how.
00:52:48But we'll manage somehow.
00:52:50Won't we?
00:52:51We always do, don't we?
00:53:09Joan!
00:53:11Joan, I have a project.
00:53:14Could change our lives entirely.
00:53:16Oh, might that be, Jack?
00:53:18I'm thinking of sending around to all the old antiquarians in these parts,
00:53:24telling who there is living among them,
00:53:28and them knowing nothing about him.
00:53:30Why?
00:53:31And how's that going to change our lives?
00:53:33They spend a lot of money
00:53:34digging up old bones and maintaining old ruins.
00:53:38Now, if they only knowed about me,
00:53:40I'm sure they'd think it a proper thing
00:53:42to maintain me as a living old ruin.
00:53:48What do you say, Jack?
00:53:53That's going to be worth £100 a week, isn't it?
00:53:56I just walked down the road, £100.
00:53:59And then, Sir John,
00:54:02come on, you old ruin.
00:54:04Jack?
00:54:06Jack?
00:54:08Jack?
00:54:08Jack?
00:54:13Dear Lord,
00:54:14I shall be summons for this.
00:54:16I shall lose my license.
00:54:37Come on, my love.
00:54:38I'm so glad.
00:54:40so it's true then
00:54:49they're throwing you out because of
00:54:51because of me

00:55:02I can offer you comfortable accommodation
00:55:04I don't need your help

00:55:07and what are you going to do there
00:55:08wait for that saint of a husband of yours
00:55:09who's never coming back
00:55:10why have you treated me so monstrously angel

00:55:38and I can never

00:56:03for the fact that I can do it

00:56:09but I can't follow
00:56:10you
00:56:11I can't get you
00:56:11Marianne.
00:56:25Mr. Clare.
00:56:41She finished here a couple of months ago.
00:56:47She went home because her mother was poorly.
00:56:49She went home?
00:56:50She said she was going home.
00:56:52I've written to her home and received no reply.
00:56:55Marianne, I wrote and told her that I was back and that I wanted to see her as soon as possible,
00:56:58but I had no reply.
00:57:01Do you think perhaps she doesn't want to see me?
00:57:09Would that surprise you?
00:57:14No.
00:57:17No, it would not.
00:57:21What's it been like working here on the farm?
00:57:25Horrible, hard, horrible work.
00:57:29I thought perhaps she'd ask my family for help, but apparently she never did.
00:57:33Did you really think she would?
00:57:39I hoped she would.
00:57:46Marianne, was she...
00:57:50angry with me?
00:57:51Was she bitter?
00:57:53She never talked about you.
00:57:56I don't know if that doesn't hurt even more.
00:58:06Marianne, tell me honestly.
00:58:11Do you think she would prefer it if I left her alone?
00:58:15Only Tess can tell you what she feels.
00:58:17What do you think?
00:58:18Me?
00:58:22I think...
00:58:26I think you should at least give her the opportunity to tell you herself.
00:58:30I'm Angel Claire.
00:58:31You be good and stay quiet.
00:58:37I'm sorry, sir.
00:58:38I really can't help you.
00:58:39Mrs. Dermfield, please.
00:58:40I must see Tess.
00:58:41I must talk to her.
00:58:42Why?
00:58:43She's my wife.
00:58:44We thought you'd forgotten.
00:58:45I'm sorry.
00:58:46I deserve that.
00:58:47Please tell me, is she here?
00:58:48No.
00:58:49When will she be home?
00:58:50I don't know.
00:58:51Do you know...
00:58:52Is she well?
00:58:53I don't know.
00:58:54I don't know.
00:58:55I don't know.
00:58:56I don't know.
00:58:57I'm sorry, sir.
00:58:58I really can't help you.
00:58:59Mrs. Dermfield, please.
00:59:00I must see Tess.
00:59:01I must talk to her.
00:59:02Why?
00:59:03She's my wife.
00:59:04We thought you'd forgotten.
00:59:06I'm sorry.
00:59:08I...
00:59:09I deserve that.
00:59:11Please tell me.
00:59:12Is she here?
00:59:13No.
00:59:14When will she be home?
00:59:15I don't know.
00:59:16Do you know...
00:59:17Is she well?
00:59:18I don't.
00:59:19You ought to, though.
00:59:21I admit it.
00:59:23Where is she staying?
00:59:25I don't exactly know where she's staying.
00:59:28I mean, she was...
00:59:29She was where?
00:59:31Mrs. Dermfield, you give me the impression that Tess wouldn't want me to try and find her.
00:59:36If that is...
00:59:37I don't think she does.
00:59:38Are you sure?
00:59:40I'm sure she does not.
00:59:45The letter she wrote?
00:59:47Not the last one, admittedly, but to not want to see me or even talk to me.
00:59:50I can't believe that.
00:59:51I can't believe that.
00:59:52I...
00:59:53I am sure she would want to see me.
00:59:55I know her better than you.
00:59:57That is very likely, sir.
00:59:59For I've never really known her.
01:00:05Mrs. Dermfield, please.
01:00:07I beg you, give me her address.
01:00:09I don't exactly have her address.
01:00:10I don't exactly have her address.
01:00:11Tell me where she is.
01:00:12I beg you.
01:00:15She's at Sandborn.
01:00:19Sandborn?
01:00:22It's a big place.
01:00:23No, I don't know any more particularly than I've said.
01:00:26For myself, I was never there.
01:00:30Do you...
01:00:34Do you want for anything, Mrs. Dermfield?
01:00:38No, sir.
01:00:40We're fairly well provided for.
01:00:58Oh my, that's the work turned on.
01:00:59Yes, sir.
01:01:00I have no clue what so nearer,ины.
01:01:10But you could just put me away in that space.
01:01:15Yes, sir.
01:01:17You don't want to do anything, Mr. Dermfield?
01:01:18Excuse me, gentlemen.
01:01:48Good morning.
01:01:54I'm looking for Teresa D'Urberville.
01:01:57Mrs. D'Urberville?
01:02:00Yes.
01:02:02Will you kindly tell her that a relative is very anxious to see her?
01:02:08It's rather early.
01:02:10I've just served breakfast.
01:02:12She'll understand.
01:02:15What name shall I give, sir?
01:02:25Angel.
01:02:26Mr. Angel.
01:02:28No, Angel is my Christian name.
01:02:31Take a seat, sir.
01:02:45Sorry to disturb you so early, ma'am, but there's a gentleman anxious to see you.
01:03:01A relative.
01:03:02A relative?
01:03:03By the name of Angel.
01:03:14I'll come down.
01:03:16Jess?
01:03:18It's nothing.
01:03:20I won't be a moment.
01:03:22Eat your breakfast.
01:03:52Tess.
01:04:05Can you forgive me for going away?
01:04:11Can't you come to me?
01:04:17How'd you get to be like this?
01:04:26It is too late.
01:04:28Tess, I was wrong.
01:04:30I was wrong to think that I didn't see you as you were.
01:04:36But since then, I've learned how wrong I was and I've come to...
01:04:43Oh, Tess.
01:04:48Tess, my love.
01:04:53Too late.
01:04:56Too late.
01:04:58Don't, Angel.
01:05:01You mustn't come close to me.
01:05:07Keep away.
01:05:15All right.
01:05:18All right.
01:05:20But I have to talk to you.
01:05:22I have to explain.
01:05:26I travelled.
01:05:28I went to Brazil and worked on the land there.
01:05:30But I...
01:05:31I fell ill.
01:05:33Very ill.
01:05:34And I...
01:05:35I have no excuses.
01:05:45I hate myself for what I said and did.
01:05:50But I at least would have got back sooner if I hadn't been in hospital.
01:05:55I...
01:05:56I had plenty of time to think there.
01:06:00And I thought of nothing but you.
01:06:05You, Tess.
01:06:07My dear wife.
01:06:11No.
01:06:12No.
01:06:13Yes, please.
01:06:14If I could undo all that has happened, I would.
01:06:27But can't you forgive me?
01:06:29Can't you love me like you once did?
01:06:33I...
01:06:34I...
01:06:35I don't believe that your love could have changed no more than mine could have.
01:06:45I want you to come with me.
01:06:50I want you to meet my mother and father.
01:06:52And I was coming here to fetch you.
01:06:53And they want to see you.
01:06:55They want to welcome you.
01:06:58Yes.
01:06:59Oh, yes.
01:07:00But it's...
01:07:02Too late.
01:07:05Too late.
01:07:06Too late?
01:07:07Don't you know?
01:07:08Know what, Tess?
01:07:22You don't, do you?
01:07:33But how is it you're here if you don't know?
01:07:40Well, I...
01:07:42I've looked for you everywhere.
01:07:44And then you'll...
01:07:46Someone told me that you were at Sanborn and I managed to trace you here.
01:07:50Why do you say that...
01:07:51I waited and waited for you.
01:07:54And you didn't come.
01:07:57And I wrote to you that you didn't come.
01:08:02He kept saying that you would never come.
01:08:10That I was a foolish woman.
01:08:15He was very kind to me and to Mother, to all of us after Father's death.
01:08:22Tess.
01:08:23Tess, what are you trying to tell me?
01:08:25I don't understand.
01:08:27He has won me back to him.
01:08:31He's...
01:08:44He's upstairs.
01:08:49I hate him now.
01:08:50Because he...
01:08:52Told me a lie.
01:08:55That you would not come again.
01:08:58And you have come.
01:09:02His clothes are what he's put on me.
01:09:08And I didn't care what he did with me.
01:09:13Angel.
01:09:15Please go away.
01:09:19And never come anymore.
01:09:35Unless it's my fault.
01:09:40It is all my fault.
01:10:05What's the matter?
01:10:14He came back.
01:10:18He came back.
01:10:20And I didn't know.
01:10:22I didn't know.
01:10:24What?
01:10:25You...
01:10:26You didn't know what?
01:10:27You said he'd never come back.
01:10:29You laughed at me.
01:10:31You said you knew what men were like and he'd never come back because he'd never be able to forgive.
01:10:39And I believed you.
01:10:41I believed you.
01:10:44And now he's gone.
01:10:47My dear husband.
01:10:49He came back?
01:10:51When?
01:10:52Where?
01:10:53Now?
01:10:54Now he's gone.
01:10:56Gone a second time.
01:11:00Oh God, I have lost him now forever.
01:11:03He won't love me the littlest bit anymore.
01:11:06Only hate me.
01:11:08Oh yes, I have lost him now.
01:11:13You said he'd never come back.
01:11:15I didn't believe he would.
01:11:16I swear.
01:11:17And I have lost him again because of you.
01:11:19Tess.
01:11:20You lost him years ago.
01:11:22When you first told him the truth.
01:11:24He abandoned you then.
01:11:26I wouldn't have done that.
01:11:27No matter what you told me.
01:11:29And he wouldn't if he ever truly loved you.
01:11:31He loved me.
01:11:32He loves me still.
01:11:34That's why he came back.
01:11:38Then why has he gone again?
01:11:40My sin.
01:11:41My sin.
01:11:42He looks as if he's dying.
01:11:43Tess.
01:11:44You rejected me a hundred times.
01:11:45And it never altered what I felt for you.
01:11:46Because I loved you.
01:11:47That's all that mattered.
01:11:48I offered you everything that I had to offer.
01:11:49My soul.
01:11:50My life.
01:11:51Everything.
01:11:52My soul.
01:11:53My life.
01:11:54Everything.
01:11:55My sin will kill him.
01:11:56And not kill me.
01:11:57You've torn my life to pieces.
01:11:59You've made me be.
01:12:00You've made me be what I prayed you not to make me be again.
01:12:03You used your wealth to get your way.
01:12:05You knew I never loved you but you exploited my faith.
01:12:08You never altered what I felt for you.
01:12:10You never altered what I felt for you.
01:12:11Because I loved you.
01:12:12That's all that mattered.
01:12:13I offered you everything that I had to offer.
01:12:15My soul.
01:12:16My life.
01:12:17Everything.
01:12:18My sin will kill him.
01:12:19And not kill me.
01:12:20You've torn my life to pieces.
01:12:21You've exploited my family.
01:12:22You've exploited your poor relations just so you...
01:12:25They're not my relations.
01:12:26My people are not D'Urbervilles.
01:12:28We only adopted the name.
01:12:30Not D'Urbervilles?
01:12:33No.
01:12:34Stokes.
01:12:35My name is Stokes.
01:12:38I helped your family for your sake.
01:12:41Because I loved you.
01:12:43I would have done anything for you.
01:12:46Not D'Urbervilles.
01:12:48Not D'Urbervilles.
01:12:50Not D'Urbervilles.
01:12:51But...
01:12:52Then it was all lies.
01:12:55From the very start.
01:12:57Deceit and lies!
01:13:00You have destroyed me!
01:13:02You have destroyed my life!
01:13:04You have destroyed my husband!
01:13:06My own true husband!
01:13:08Your own true husband is a spineless bastard!
01:13:38Oh, my God!
01:14:38I've killed him.
01:14:51What?
01:14:52I've done it.
01:14:55He can never come between us anymore.
01:15:00Can you forgive my sin against you now I have killed him?
01:15:03I thought you would be sure to forgive me now I have done it.
01:15:12Say you love me, angel.
01:15:15Say you love me now I have killed him.
01:15:18Oh, Tess.
01:15:19My poor Tess.
01:15:20I love you.
01:15:25I do love you.
01:15:28What are you saying?
01:15:29What do you mean by saying I've killed him?
01:15:33I mean that I have.
01:15:37What?
01:15:41You mean literally?
01:15:42Yes.
01:15:47You mean he's dead?
01:15:49I thought it was the one way I might get you back.
01:15:57Does anyone else know?
01:15:59No.
01:16:00I left him in the room.
01:16:02I left him in the room.
01:16:02Come on.
01:16:22His mind in turmoil, Angel could think only of the need to protect Tess.
01:16:27To remove her from the vicinity of the guest house before the alarm was sounded.
01:16:34And so they hastened away from the promenade, away from the town.
01:16:39Avoiding high roads and following obscure paths.
01:16:42With the vague notion that they might find somewhere to hide until they had been forgotten.
01:16:48They'll have raised the alarm, sir.
01:16:52Can you walk a few more miles?
01:16:53I could walk forever with your arm around me.
01:17:10It's all shut up.
01:17:11Look at the grass growing on the drive.
01:17:13Some of the windows are open.
01:17:15Just to air the rooms, I suppose.
01:17:18All those rooms.
01:17:19And us without the roof to our heads.
01:17:22You're getting tired, Tess.
01:17:23You're getting tired.
01:17:24You're getting tired.
01:17:29You're getting tired.
01:17:40Nice.
01:17:41You're getting tired.
01:17:50There's probably a caretaker visiting, if only to keep the place ventilated.
01:18:12We'll have to keep quiet just in case.
01:18:20You must be famished, though. I suppose I ought to go and try and find us some food.
01:18:29Not now.
01:18:50Angel? Angel? Angel?
01:19:06I'm here. You were sleeping so deeply I didn't want to wake you. I've been to a farm a couple of miles from here to get us some food.
01:19:15You must be hungry by now. I'm starving.
01:19:22What are you thinking?
01:19:31What are you thinking?
01:19:46I worry that what you think of me now may not last. I don't wish to outlive your present feeling for me.
01:20:01I'd rather be dead and buried when the time comes for you to despise me, so that I'll never know you despised me.
01:20:14I couldn't ever despise you.
01:20:21I hope that's true.
01:20:25But I...
01:20:29I have killed a man. I have ended a life.
01:20:33I have formerly compared to her to fly or a worm.
01:20:38The sight of a bird in a cage often used to make me cry.
01:20:43And now...
01:20:47Now I'm guilty of...
01:20:49You are guilty of nothing.
01:20:56He did love me, Angel.
01:21:00Did he?
01:21:01Yes.
01:21:04In his way.
01:21:06In the way his nature allowed.
01:21:08In that way?
01:21:09Yes.
01:21:10I know he's dead.
01:21:11And I'm guilty of...
01:21:12Tess.
01:21:13You are guilty of nothing.
01:21:15If anyone is guilty...
01:21:16I am.
01:21:17Hmm?
01:21:18Yes.
01:21:19Yes.
01:21:20Yes.
01:21:21Yes.
01:21:22Yes.
01:21:23Yes.
01:21:24Yes.
01:21:25Yes.
01:21:26Yes.
01:21:27Yes.
01:21:28Yes.
01:21:29Yes.
01:21:30Yes.
01:21:31Yes.
01:21:32Yes.
01:21:33Yes.
01:21:34Yes.
01:21:35Yes.
01:21:36Yes.
01:21:37Yes.
01:21:52Yes.
01:21:53Yes.
01:21:54Yes.
01:21:55Yes.
01:21:56Yes.
01:21:57Yes, yes.
01:21:59Do you want to leave at once?
01:22:00Oh, happy house.
01:22:01If only if we could have stayed here.
01:22:04Don't keep saying it Tess we'll be out of this district all together soon. We'll head for the north
01:22:10Nobody will think of looking for us there. They do look for us at all. It'll be at the southern ports. So when we get to the north
01:22:16We'll head straight for a port and away
01:22:34I
01:22:47Love it here
01:22:53Being with you has been such happiness that now
01:22:58It's so solemn and lonely with nothing but the sky above our heads
01:23:04It seems as if there were no people in the world, but we too
01:23:14I wish there were not
01:23:21Rest here until it gets a little lighter
01:23:34You won't leave me
01:23:40Never
01:23:42I'll never leave you
01:23:46Even after all I've done
01:23:51Whatever you have done or not done, my love
01:23:53I will never leave you
01:23:55Even after all I've done
01:23:57Whatever you have done or not done, my love
01:23:59And I will protect you
01:24:01And I will protect you
01:24:03With every means in my power
01:24:05With every means in my power
01:24:16What?
01:24:17All in my énergely
01:24:18Did he get to love you?
01:24:19He went there
01:24:20Did he sacrifice to God here?
01:24:21I believe to the sun.
01:24:30That lofty stone set away over there
01:24:32is in the direction of the sun.
01:24:36Which will soon rise behind it.
01:24:44You used to talk so much about your loss of faith,
01:24:48Angel.
01:24:52Tell me now.
01:24:56Do you think we shall meet again?
01:24:59After we are dead?
01:25:18Angel, I fear that means no.
01:25:21And I wanted to see you again so much.
01:25:25So much.
01:25:30What, not even you and I, Angel?
01:25:33We love each other so well.
01:25:35I love each other.
01:25:45And I just want to see you again.
01:25:48I hate you.
01:25:48What is it, angel?
01:26:12Have they come for me?
01:26:13They have come.
01:26:23It's as it should be.
01:26:26I'm almost glad this happiness could not have lasted.
01:26:33I've had enough and now I shall not live for you to despise me.
01:26:43I'm ready.
01:27:13Justice was done.
01:27:19Mankind, in time-honored way, had finished its sport with Tess.
01:27:26Justice was done.
01:27:35Mankind, in time-honored way, had finished its sport with Tess.
01:27:41Lucifer with Tess.
01:27:44...
