1
00:03:29.623 --> 00:03:30.799
I'm coming.
2
00:03:34.427 --> 00:03:35.669
Alright, I'm hurrying.
3
00:03:41.779 --> 00:03:43.647
Oh, what a night .. what a night.
4
00:03:44.399 --> 00:03:45.440
Isn't it wonderful.
5
00:03:45.540 --> 00:03:47.557
You wouldn't think so if you'd
traveled 80 miles through it.
6
00:03:47.657 --> 00:03:48.517
Yes I would.
7
00:03:49.410 --> 00:03:52.314
Welcome home cousin Jaffrey.
- Thank you. Where's my father?
8
00:03:52.749 --> 00:03:54.636
He's been in the village
since early afternoon.
9
00:03:54.736 --> 00:03:56.524
I kept supper warm for him.
- Oh Hepzibah ..
10
00:03:56.661 --> 00:03:59.411
In the three years you've been here,
haven't you learned to call it "dinner"?
11
00:03:59.701 --> 00:04:01.699
No .. will you have some?
- No thank you.
12
00:04:02.490 --> 00:04:04.820
I'll have some tea, now Hepzibah ..
13
00:04:04.557 --> 00:04:06.788
Yes Jaffrey?
- What's all this confounded mystery?
14
00:04:07.970 --> 00:04:08.912
What mystery?
15
00:04:09.699 --> 00:04:12.119
My dear cousin, your innocence
is far too elaborate.
16
00:04:12.646 --> 00:04:15.717
Why was I suddenly called home?
Summoned, like a schoolboy?
17
00:04:16.459 --> 00:04:18.968
I'm sure your father will be
here very soon Jaffrey.
18
00:04:19.161 --> 00:04:22.230
Yes, I'm sure he will but
answer my question: why?
19
00:04:22.803 --> 00:04:24.737
I was in the midst of my
first important case.
20
00:04:25.940 --> 00:04:28.371
Young lawyers don't find clients growing
on trees in Boston nowadays.
21
00:04:28.831 --> 00:04:31.911
Even if they have made excellent
reputations for themselves.
22
00:04:32.746 --> 00:04:34.737
[ Singing ]
23
00:04:35.168 --> 00:04:37.685
So Clifford is still banging
and bellowing, eh?
24
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.451
You'll be proud of your brother now.
25
00:04:40.338 --> 00:04:43.332
I'll forgo the pride, if only
I'm spared the noise.
26
00:04:46.910 --> 00:04:49.894
Bring the tea up here Hepzibah.
- Yes, cousin Jaffrey.
27
00:04:56.177 --> 00:04:59.930
Well, if it isn't the pride of the
Pyncheons. Welcome home.
28
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:00.477
Good evening.
29
00:05:00.973 --> 00:05:01.916
Same old chap.
30
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.870
Been away two years and all
you can manage is "good evening".
31
00:05:05.219 --> 00:05:06.702
Well, it is evening I believe.
32
00:05:09.275 --> 00:05:12.477
You know Jaffrey, you're no longer
the only success in the family.
33
00:05:12.890 --> 00:05:16.167
I've sold a composition. Quite a
remarkable piece of music.
34
00:05:17.491 --> 00:05:19.124
Shall I play it for you?
35
00:05:19.387 --> 00:05:22.620
I'd rather know why father sent for me.
- Oh he'll tell you all about that.
36
00:05:22.162 --> 00:05:23.200
Just think Jaff ..
37
00:05:23.321 --> 00:05:26.551
Pond & Company, the greatest music
house in the world, publishing me.
38
00:05:27.153 --> 00:05:29.163
Splendid .. splendid.
39
00:05:29.587 --> 00:05:31.960
My legal colleagues will
be most impressed.
40
00:05:32.364 --> 00:05:35.106
My brother, a musician .. a gypsy ..
41
00:05:35.669 --> 00:05:37.969
Shocking, isn't it?
- Boston might think so.
42
00:05:38.345 --> 00:05:40.514
Boston, that provincial outpost.
43
00:05:40.814 --> 00:05:43.770
They won't see me for years .. no.
44
00:05:43.527 --> 00:05:44.945
It's New York for me old fellah.
45
00:05:45.452 --> 00:05:47.537
And then Europe .. come in.
46
00:05:50.608 --> 00:05:52.630
Your father has returned.
47
00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:55.844
Now perhaps, I might be honored
with some information.
48
00:06:00.777 --> 00:06:02.679
You weren't very kind to him,
were you Clifford.
49
00:06:02.927 --> 00:06:07.293
There is so little kindness in my small
heart .. I must keep it all for you.
50
00:06:07.859 --> 00:06:11.380
You know, I don't think it's a good idea
to leave those two gentlemen alone ..
51
00:06:11.605 --> 00:06:13.182
Any longer than is necessary.
52
00:06:15.323 --> 00:06:18.900
Do be respectful.
- I am.
53
00:06:18.760 --> 00:06:21.455
To all that's beautiful .. to you ..
54
00:06:26.589 --> 00:06:28.912
Come in .. ah ..
55
00:06:31.856 --> 00:06:34.820
Good evening father.
- Good evening my son.
56
00:06:34.913 --> 00:06:38.622
You will forgive I hope this
abrupt summons .. sit down.
57
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.354
Abominable weather for travel.
58
00:06:42.692 --> 00:06:45.999
It would have been less trying sir, if I
had known the necessity for my return.
59
00:06:46.339 --> 00:06:49.282
Perhaps. I felt a letter
might not explain.
60
00:06:50.343 --> 00:06:54.180
Jaffrey, I must make a decision.
I need your advice.
61
00:06:54.411 --> 00:06:55.359
What for?
62
00:06:57.234 --> 00:06:59.143
The decision has already been made.
63
00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:02.252
Will somebody please tell
me what all this is about?
64
00:07:06.640 --> 00:07:08.237
Gladly .. we're selling
this house tomorrow.
65
00:07:09.219 --> 00:07:11.961
Selling Seven Gables?
- Yes.
66
00:07:12.837 --> 00:07:15.860
But that's impossible .. it's fantastic!
67
00:07:16.752 --> 00:07:18.921
It can't be done without my consent.
- Why not?
68
00:07:19.614 --> 00:07:22.651
For the past two years you and father
have been investing the family fortune.
69
00:07:23.230 --> 00:07:24.268
Without my consent.
70
00:07:24.993 --> 00:07:29.371
You've succeeded in bankrupting us.
That money was mine, as well as yours.
71
00:07:29.715 --> 00:07:31.870
But nobody bothered to get my consent.
72
00:07:32.992 --> 00:07:35.872
Jaffrey, this has been
a most trying year.
73
00:07:36.263 --> 00:07:39.290
Practically everything has gone,
except the house.
74
00:07:39.742 --> 00:07:43.670
I've manoeuvred desperately to keep
that from falling to the creditors.
75
00:07:44.316 --> 00:07:47.100
We shall lose it anyway
if it isn't sold.
76
00:07:47.931 --> 00:07:49.919
The Pyncheon tradition will not be sold.
77
00:07:50.447 --> 00:07:51.834
As a student of law, Jaffrey ..
78
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:55.987
You know the bankruptcy court does not
accept family tradition as legal tender.
79
00:07:56.869 --> 00:07:58.935
We can find a way out of
this momentary difficulty.
80
00:07:59.424 --> 00:08:01.668
Man alive! Have you no respect
for the name you bear?
81
00:08:02.250 --> 00:08:04.147
Your belated reverence is very touching.
82
00:08:05.950 --> 00:08:08.362
Respect .. Pride .. For whom?
83
00:08:09.110 --> 00:08:11.865
Perhaps for the honor of our
great, great grandfather?
84
00:08:12.185 --> 00:08:14.814
The respectable
Colonel Jaffrey Pyncheon.
85
00:08:15.162 --> 00:08:20.287
200 years ago he boasted of successfully
murdering one Matthew Maule.
86
00:08:20.484 --> 00:08:24.644
In order to steal this land from him.
Hail to thee, guiding spirit!
87
00:08:25.864 --> 00:08:29.779
Perhaps we should bow our heads in
memory to Ethan Pyncheon, noble soul.
88
00:08:30.130 --> 00:08:32.590
He held high rank in Washington's army.
89
00:08:32.796 --> 00:08:37.698
And proved his patriotism by selling
military information to the British.
90
00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:42.477
I burst with pride recalling Jonathan's
contribution to Pyncheon tradition.
91
00:08:42.693 --> 00:08:44.345
He made quite a fortune for himself ..
92
00:08:44.618 --> 00:08:47.472
After soldiers were discharged
from the revolutionary army.
93
00:08:47.763 --> 00:08:49.782
By cheating them in shady land deals.
94
00:08:50.688 --> 00:08:54.294
And here, our late,
lamented grandfather.
95
00:08:54.510 --> 00:08:58.331
Who schemed with John Henry
before the war of 1812.
96
00:08:58.641 --> 00:09:01.458
For the succession of Massachusetts
from the United States.
97
00:09:01.636 --> 00:09:02.850
To join her with Canada.
98
00:09:03.300 --> 00:09:06.910
Because this country disapproved
of his illegal investments.
99
00:09:07.345 --> 00:09:10.698
By all means, let us sacrifice
ourselves to such traditions.
100
00:09:11.400 --> 00:09:12.924
Stop! You forget yourself.
101
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.250
It's you who forget .. too conveniently.
102
00:09:15.125 --> 00:09:17.328
You go too far, sir.
- I'm going farther than that.
103
00:09:17.428 --> 00:09:20.906
I'm going as far as the sale-price
of this mausoleum will carry me.
104
00:09:21.144 --> 00:09:23.836
Away from its rotting walls
and decaying memories.
105
00:09:24.144 --> 00:09:27.575
This house will never be sacrificed.
I'll take the matter to court.
106
00:09:27.878 --> 00:09:30.779
The world will know of this.
- The world already knows too much.
107
00:09:31.186 --> 00:09:35.243
Clifford's antagonism, his insistence on
selling the house has become a scandal.
108
00:09:35.453 --> 00:09:36.993
Jaffrey, do not add to it.
109
00:09:37.180 --> 00:09:39.772
When our solicitor comes tomorrow,
the house will be sold.
110
00:09:42.637 --> 00:09:46.683
What a pity men inherit their ancestors
ignorance instead of their wisdom.
111
00:10:06.597 --> 00:10:08.257
Jaffrey .. your tea.
112
00:10:16.173 --> 00:10:17.783
Will you have some, cousin Gerald?
113
00:10:22.936 --> 00:10:24.170
Goodnight!
114
00:10:24.979 --> 00:10:26.354
Goodnight my son.
115
00:10:29.435 --> 00:10:30.448
Now, Hepzibah.
116
00:10:32.406 --> 00:10:33.458
My child.
117
00:10:34.397 --> 00:10:37.469
I hesitate to mention it, but could
you not persuade Clifford ..
118
00:10:37.589 --> 00:10:40.920
To see how grievously
he wrongs his family.
119
00:10:42.392 --> 00:10:44.177
He seems so sure of
himself, cousin Gerald.
120
00:10:44.598 --> 00:10:47.858
True, but he's also sure of
your love and devotion.
121
00:10:48.435 --> 00:10:54.503
Perhaps less certainty on that score
may bring about less certainty on this?
122
00:10:55.292 --> 00:10:58.520
Hepzibah .. you can help us.
123
00:10:59.358 --> 00:11:01.715
If I but follow the dictates
of my conscience.
124
00:11:02.222 --> 00:11:05.555
Yes .. yes .. thank you Hepzibah.
125
00:11:16.496 --> 00:11:18.100
[ Singing: ]
126
00:11:18.537 --> 00:11:24.513
"I can't remember how I met you."
127
00:11:24.992 --> 00:11:30.222
"But stars were shining on your head."
128
00:11:31.293 --> 00:11:36.673
"And though you smiled
at me so sweetly."
129
00:11:37.885 --> 00:11:43.782
"I can't remember when or where."
130
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:52.121
"The scene, my love,
I can't recall to view."
131
00:11:52.534 --> 00:12:00.328
"For through it all,
I just remember you."
132
00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:08.570
"And when I dream
beneath star-lit skies."
133
00:12:08.741 --> 00:12:16.410
"I recall the color of your eyes."
134
00:12:20.978 --> 00:12:22.116
Hepzibah.
135
00:12:23.134 --> 00:12:27.341
I .. I hope I didn't upset you ..
what happened downstairs.
136
00:12:28.599 --> 00:12:30.943
Well, you see I had to tell the truth.
137
00:12:31.696 --> 00:12:34.682
Why allow such hatred to remain
beneath the surface festering?
138
00:12:34.802 --> 00:12:38.334
A clean wound heals much more quickly.
- You were right Clifford.
139
00:12:40.134 --> 00:12:41.739
But ..
- Well?
140
00:12:43.730 --> 00:12:45.800
Your father asked me to speak to you.
- What?
141
00:12:46.793 --> 00:12:49.352
He shan't use petticoats as weapons.
- Clifford.
142
00:12:51.195 --> 00:12:56.331
I'd rather you conserve your impetuous
energies for emotions more deserving.
143
00:12:58.256 --> 00:12:59.777
Oh forgive me dearest.
144
00:13:00.857 --> 00:13:02.528
May I speak now?
- Yes.
145
00:13:03.693 --> 00:13:07.317
I listened to him most attentively,
and I only asked one favor.
146
00:13:08.290 --> 00:13:10.000
That he leave it to the dictates
of my conscience.
147
00:13:10.181 --> 00:13:12.400
And did that satisfy him?
- Yes.
148
00:13:12.895 --> 00:13:14.726
I've searched my conscience.
- And ..?
149
00:13:15.975 --> 00:13:17.712
I've found ..
150
00:13:18.603 --> 00:13:20.660
I could never love you blindly Clifford.
151
00:13:21.204 --> 00:13:24.970
So that your every act and thought
would seem just and courageous.
152
00:13:24.995 --> 00:13:29.449
It's because of your courage and
sense of justice that .. I love you.
153
00:13:30.211 --> 00:13:33.836
I can only .. hope to prove worthy
of such love, Hepzibah.
154
00:13:36.371 --> 00:13:40.214
You have my darling .. and now
I know .. the house must be sold.
155
00:13:40.602 --> 00:13:43.582
It shall be sold .. we'll live
in New York, Hepzibah.
156
00:13:44.109 --> 00:13:47.670
People there have vitality.
They look ahead, not backwards.
157
00:13:47.361 --> 00:13:53.123
You know, they're constructing buildings
five stories tall! Scraping the sky!
158
00:13:53.574 --> 00:13:57.630
Men reaching towards the heavens
instead of digging into dusty archives.
159
00:13:58.127 --> 00:14:01.883
We'll leave the dirges behind us.
There's music in those people Hepzibah.
160
00:14:02.165 --> 00:14:05.555
Laughing, struggling, working
people. That's living music!
161
00:14:06.710 --> 00:14:08.775
You're right, Clifford ..
It's already inside you.
162
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:52.269
Treasure hunt?
163
00:15:52.963 --> 00:15:54.982
Yes. Yes, you could
call it that if you like.
164
00:15:55.102 --> 00:15:58.485
So, this is the reason for your
pious defense of your ancestors.
165
00:15:59.100 --> 00:16:02.813
Not the legend of their nobility, but
the fable of their hidden wealth.
166
00:16:03.133 --> 00:16:04.737
This is no fable, you fool.
167
00:16:05.151 --> 00:16:07.123
One million acres of the
State of Maine .. Ours.
168
00:16:07.554 --> 00:16:09.564
I've dug into ancient
archives in Boston.
169
00:16:10.221 --> 00:16:13.508
Aside from this map, I've actually seen
documents referring to the land grant.
170
00:16:13.693 --> 00:16:16.218
Somewhere, hidden in these
rotting walls as you call them ..
171
00:16:16.441 --> 00:16:18.901
Along with other papers, is a
deed to Colonel Jaffrey Pyncheon.
172
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:20.872
Signed by King Charles the Second.
173
00:16:20.974 --> 00:16:22.733
If you find them, what
value would they be?
174
00:16:22.996 --> 00:16:26.745
That was a 180 years ago Jaffrey. The
city is there now, thousands of people.
175
00:16:27.228 --> 00:16:30.667
Will you issue orders of eviction?
- But Clifford, don't you see?
176
00:16:31.566 --> 00:16:35.200
With the original deed in our possession
the government must compensate us.
177
00:16:35.494 --> 00:16:37.453
It will mean millions for
us Clifford .. Millions!
178
00:16:38.256 --> 00:16:40.104
Help me .. work with me.
179
00:16:40.368 --> 00:16:42.598
We'll turn the house down
board-by-board until we find it.
180
00:16:42.866 --> 00:16:44.388
There's nothing to find, you fool.
181
00:16:44.982 --> 00:16:47.586
There are no hidden staircases,
no secret rooms.
182
00:16:48.355 --> 00:16:52.157
Those were fables grandmother invented,
on rainy afternoons for our amusement.
183
00:16:52.439 --> 00:16:55.666
You might as well believe there's a half
million in gold hidden with the deed.
184
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.549
She used to speak about that too.
185
00:16:58.530 --> 00:16:59.526
It has yet to be proven otherwise.
186
00:17:00.833 --> 00:17:02.890
And Maule's curse?
187
00:17:03.272 --> 00:17:06.290
Perhaps you believe that
old Matthew Maule's ghost ..
188
00:17:06.471 --> 00:17:09.219
Still hovers over the Pyncheons,
wreaking vengeance?
189
00:17:09.728 --> 00:17:11.470
It has yet to be proven otherwise.
190
00:17:13.870 --> 00:17:15.500
Well .. goodnight.
191
00:17:15.928 --> 00:17:17.934
And .. don't let the witches get you.
192
00:17:26.909 --> 00:17:29.482
Whoa .. whoa boy .. easy there ..
193
00:17:29.930 --> 00:17:32.508
Morning Mr Fuller.
- Morning Miss Hepzibah.
194
00:17:33.270 --> 00:17:36.142
A new horse Mr Fuller?
- Yes, a beauty isn't he.
195
00:17:36.379 --> 00:17:39.701
Two years old he is, and full of the
old Ned. Faster than lightning.
196
00:17:39.973 --> 00:17:40.865
Mr Fuller?
197
00:17:41.750 --> 00:17:43.976
From tomorrow, hold our mail at the Post
Office until we send a forward address.
198
00:17:44.190 --> 00:17:48.330
So you're finally going to sell?
- Yes, Mr Fuller. Today. It's settled.
199
00:17:48.286 --> 00:17:51.372
Well, well .. I heard a heap
of conversation, but ..
200
00:17:51.939 --> 00:17:53.902
And it's all settled?
201
00:17:55.791 --> 00:17:56.968
Well .. get on Ginger!
202
00:17:57.793 --> 00:17:59.963
So, they're finally
selling Seven Gables?
203
00:18:00.143 --> 00:18:01.427
Yes, all settled.
204
00:18:01.626 --> 00:18:05.289
"Settled" is it? Well .. well .. well.
205
00:18:05.893 --> 00:18:07.795
They're moving out tomorrow.
- Don't believe it.
206
00:18:07.979 --> 00:18:09.859
They've been talking
that way for a year.
207
00:18:10.199 --> 00:18:14.339
If Mr Fullers says it's all settled
Abigail, I guess it's all settled.
208
00:18:14.939 --> 00:18:17.590
I wonder who's fool enough to buy it?
209
00:18:17.429 --> 00:18:21.639
I say, that Gerald Pyncheon has no
right to sell that accursed house ..
210
00:18:21.999 --> 00:18:24.190
To an unsuspecting stranger.
211
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:25.485
He can't help himself.
212
00:18:25.758 --> 00:18:28.839
It's that young Clifford's doing.
He's a wild one, I tell you.
213
00:18:29.159 --> 00:18:31.590
The old man is afraid of the boy.
214
00:18:32.409 --> 00:18:35.459
I remember Clifford saying to him,
right in the square:
215
00:18:36.429 --> 00:18:40.409
"I'll see you dead afore you're chained
to the poverty of your tradition."
216
00:18:41.310 --> 00:18:44.789
Nothing but bad blood,
dressed up in fancy words.
217
00:18:45.298 --> 00:18:49.450
Mr Fuller, have you heard the news?
- I hear lots of news Mrs Reynolds.
218
00:18:49.364 --> 00:18:52.979
It's settled, finally settled. The
Pyncheons are selling Seven Gables.
219
00:18:54.706 --> 00:18:55.843
Well ..
220
00:18:56.462 --> 00:18:59.899
Time was when the United States’ mail
was the fastest thing round these parts.
221
00:19:00.162 --> 00:19:01.486
Get on Ginger ..
222
00:19:08.781 --> 00:19:10.597
Clifford, I've been looking
all over for you.
223
00:19:10.937 --> 00:19:13.123
You packed everything you need, darling?
- Hours ago.
224
00:19:13.401 --> 00:19:15.103
We can't leave today Clifford.
- Why not?
225
00:19:15.413 --> 00:19:18.751
It's impossible. Arrangements of
all kinds are still to be made.
226
00:19:19.141 --> 00:19:20.213
Where's that lawyer?
227
00:19:20.352 --> 00:19:23.357
Dearest Clifford, you know he isn't
expected until late this afternoon.
228
00:19:24.199 --> 00:19:26.720
Now, will you please come
in and eat something.
229
00:19:26.172 --> 00:19:27.453
Your father and brother
have almost finished.
230
00:19:27.553 --> 00:19:28.483
No thank you.
231
00:19:29.170 --> 00:19:30.524
Aren't you hungry?
- I'm starved.
232
00:19:30.624 --> 00:19:34.850
But I prize my appetite much to have it
ruined by Jaffrey's face over the table.
233
00:19:34.970 --> 00:19:37.850
Darling, don't talk like that.
- Why not? Hepzibah ..
234
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.700
Do you know why Jaffrey is so
anxious to keep the house?
235
00:19:41.510 --> 00:19:44.430
Fondness of memories.
- No, fondness of gold.
236
00:19:44.754 --> 00:19:50.532
He believes in all the witch's tales
about hidden treasure and Maule's curse.
237
00:19:50.870 --> 00:19:52.240
Even about the old well.
238
00:19:53.150 --> 00:19:56.133
Still .. the water is
brackish .. undrinkable.
239
00:19:56.414 --> 00:19:59.630
Oh that's undoubtedly the ancient
sewage system seeping into it.
240
00:20:00.250 --> 00:20:02.160
And yet ..
- Yet what, darling?
241
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:04.610
I recall my great uncle.
242
00:20:05.860 --> 00:20:08.626
He died with ..
- Sudden paralysis. Throat haemorrhage.
243
00:20:08.850 --> 00:20:11.149
That isn't Maule's curse.
That's the Pyncheon curse.
244
00:20:11.482 --> 00:20:13.852
Greed .. wilful inhuman selfishness.
245
00:20:14.282 --> 00:20:17.852
A combination of high blood-pressure
and thin-veined aristocracy.
246
00:20:19.253 --> 00:20:23.887
They're haunted by conscience, not the
calcified bones of old Matthew Maule.
247
00:20:24.657 --> 00:20:25.817
Oh darling.
248
00:20:26.890 --> 00:20:28.587
Now you're not going to allow
black memories of the past ..
249
00:20:28.707 --> 00:20:31.204
To ruin a future so bright
and shining as ours.
250
00:20:32.238 --> 00:20:33.909
Isn't that a new dress?
251
00:20:35.130 --> 00:20:37.383
Yes .. is it pleasing to you?
252
00:20:37.806 --> 00:20:39.937
As pleasing to me as
it is becoming to you.
253
00:20:40.378 --> 00:20:43.932
We'll keep it for special occasions,
our 25th and 50th anniversaries.
254
00:20:44.207 --> 00:20:47.110
It'll be gone before then. Moths will
get it and it will fall to pieces.
255
00:20:47.356 --> 00:20:50.919
No it won't. No more than that beautiful
warm smile of yours will ever fade.
256
00:20:51.952 --> 00:20:55.189
To that proposition Mademoiselle,
I dedicate myself.
257
00:20:55.682 --> 00:20:57.670
Clifford darling, don't ever grow up.
258
00:20:59.709 --> 00:21:01.324
Pray forgive this interruption ..
259
00:21:01.971 --> 00:21:05.830
Father would be honored by a visit
from you .. he's in the library.
260
00:21:18.155 --> 00:21:21.894
A beautiful day, isn't it.
- I had thought so, until a moment ago.
261
00:21:22.466 --> 00:21:25.272
Now isn't that amusing.
I hadn't until a moment ago.
262
00:21:26.553 --> 00:21:29.386
We really make the weather
ourselves, don't we Hepzibah?
263
00:21:34.677 --> 00:21:35.520
Yes, father?
264
00:21:35.777 --> 00:21:40.783
Clifford, there still remains besides
the house, a few government securities.
265
00:21:41.175 --> 00:21:42.855
Very few.
- Yes, yes.
266
00:21:43.348 --> 00:21:47.175
However Jaffrey is confident that we
can collect these bonds immediately.
267
00:21:47.513 --> 00:21:51.217
Invest them in something less secure
perhaps, but far more profitable ..
268
00:21:51.446 --> 00:21:52.833
And within the year we would ..
269
00:21:53.300 --> 00:21:56.197
Yes, and within the year, even that last
shred of security will have vanished.
270
00:21:56.297 --> 00:21:57.691
What about your promise to me?
271
00:21:57.791 --> 00:22:00.630
As the eldest son, I have always
recognized your rights.
272
00:22:00.833 --> 00:22:05.168
As your father I must insist that you
refrain from questioning my authority.
273
00:22:05.364 --> 00:22:08.452
I do not refer to your authority
sir .. but to your promise.
274
00:22:08.572 --> 00:22:13.319
Ah .. you run from me in a moment of
weakened decision. I realize that now.
275
00:22:13.912 --> 00:22:15.737
Sir, it is unthinkable ..
276
00:22:16.256 --> 00:22:19.538
That the Pyncheon birth-rite should
be put upon the auction block.
277
00:22:20.161 --> 00:22:21.716
Even Hepzibah knows that.
278
00:22:22.114 --> 00:22:26.103
But she conceals her sympathy
for fear of your displeasure.
279
00:22:26.223 --> 00:22:29.153
That it is untrue!
- You dare to call me a liar?
280
00:22:29.563 --> 00:22:34.683
As long as I stay alive, I am the head
of this house, and it shall not be sold!
281
00:22:34.968 --> 00:22:38.537
For the last year your conduct has
brought us nothing but shame.
282
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:40.955
Disgraceful scenes in public.
283
00:22:41.233 --> 00:22:45.996
You have humiliated me
beyond all endurance.
284
00:22:46.380 --> 00:22:50.760
Now I command you to
leave this house. At once!
285
00:22:51.112 --> 00:22:52.825
You are no longer my son.
286
00:22:53.734 --> 00:22:56.694
I want never again to see your face.
287
00:22:57.290 --> 00:22:59.167
That's the easiest way to
get out of a promise.
288
00:22:59.677 --> 00:23:02.721
Out! .. out ..
289
00:23:08.201 --> 00:23:09.694
Father!
290
00:23:10.323 --> 00:23:11.450
Father!
291
00:23:20.540 --> 00:23:22.130
Hepzibah! Jaffrey!
292
00:23:29.505 --> 00:23:30.816
Clifford!
293
00:23:32.844 --> 00:23:34.174
I don't know what happened ..
294
00:23:34.612 --> 00:23:36.720
Suddenly, he fell ..
295
00:23:37.220 --> 00:23:39.210
We'd better send for Doctor Willett.
- It's too late.
296
00:23:42.220 --> 00:23:43.380
Murderer.
297
00:23:45.836 --> 00:23:48.950
Jaffrey .. you don't know
what you're saying.
298
00:23:51.268 --> 00:23:52.598
You can't mean that, Jaffrey.
299
00:23:54.436 --> 00:23:56.944
Don't let grief cloud your reason.
300
00:23:58.545 --> 00:24:01.677
Don't sound like one carved in granite,
Jaffrey .. say you are mistaken.
301
00:24:06.312 --> 00:24:07.332
I see.
302
00:24:10.315 --> 00:24:11.872
The house is ours now.
303
00:24:13.262 --> 00:24:14.191
Yours and mine.
304
00:24:16.733 --> 00:24:18.149
Me out of the way.
305
00:24:19.693 --> 00:24:20.982
You fool!
306
00:24:21.826 --> 00:24:25.645
You can't press such charges. No
jury on earth would convict me.
307
00:24:26.606 --> 00:24:27.415
Murderer!
308
00:24:27.735 --> 00:24:30.777
If killing a money-mad
fool is murder, then yes ..
309
00:24:31.113 --> 00:24:33.528
Don't, don't .. don't!
310
00:24:33.802 --> 00:24:34.919
Murder!
311
00:24:36.129 --> 00:24:38.550
He tried to kill him, I tell you.
- Who?
312
00:24:38.328 --> 00:24:39.956
Clifford Pyncheon.
313
00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:50.535
Gentlemen of the jury.
314
00:24:51.110 --> 00:24:54.195
The State has charged Clifford Pyncheon
with the murder of his father.
315
00:24:56.600 --> 00:25:01.136
Both the Prosecution and Defense,
have fully presented their cases.
316
00:25:03.540 --> 00:25:05.368
Before retiring in an attempt
to reach your verdict ..
317
00:25:06.557 --> 00:25:10.653
I wish to remind you that your duty
is to consider only matters of facts.
318
00:25:11.822 --> 00:25:13.292
My instructions will be few.
319
00:25:14.493 --> 00:25:17.211
You are to decide, solely upon
the evidence presented ..
320
00:25:17.739 --> 00:25:19.578
Whether the defendant
committed the crime.
321
00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:25.410
The Defense has sought to prove that
Gerald Pyncheon died as the result of ..
322
00:25:25.238 --> 00:25:29.116
A sudden illness .. a constriction
of the throat, a paralysis.
323
00:25:30.674 --> 00:25:35.548
The Defense alleges this occurred as
the result of a violent verbal quarrel.
324
00:25:36.810 --> 00:25:38.161
That it was brought about by anger.
325
00:25:39.799 --> 00:25:43.830
The Prosecution has offered testimony
by which it hopes to prove ..
326
00:25:43.203 --> 00:25:46.390
Beyond any reasonable doubt,
the guilt of the defendant.
327
00:25:46.879 --> 00:25:50.662
They called upon Dr Willett, for
years, physician to the deceased.
328
00:25:51.172 --> 00:25:55.800
Dr Willett has testified the deceased
exhibited no symptoms of the ailment ..
329
00:25:55.329 --> 00:25:57.264
The Defense alleges to have existed.
330
00:25:57.968 --> 00:26:01.241
The State further offers in evidence
the testimony of The Coroner.
331
00:26:01.514 --> 00:26:03.456
Who confirms that allegation.
332
00:26:03.885 --> 00:26:07.571
That the deceased suffered a severe
blow on the head .. prior to death.
333
00:26:08.663 --> 00:26:11.874
The defendant has admitted being in
the room with his father at the time.
334
00:26:12.657 --> 00:26:17.183
Swearing that no blow was delivered
with the paperweight given in evidence.
335
00:26:17.570 --> 00:26:19.497
On which blood stains were found.
336
00:26:20.144 --> 00:26:21.807
It has been sworn before you as truth ..
337
00:26:21.956 --> 00:26:25.643
That upon one occasion, the defendant
cried aloud in a public square:
338
00:26:26.226 --> 00:26:27.898
"I would rather see you dead .."
339
00:26:28.123 --> 00:26:30.301
"Than chained to the
poverty of your traditions."
340
00:26:39.995 --> 00:26:42.503
Six witnesses have testified under oath.
341
00:26:43.154 --> 00:26:45.511
That attracted by the angered
voice of the defendant ..
342
00:26:46.417 --> 00:26:49.602
They saw the defendant attempt
to take the life of his brother.
343
00:26:50.754 --> 00:26:52.523
They have sworn that they heard him cry:
344
00:26:53.860 --> 00:26:56.948
"If killing a money-mad fool
is murder .. then yes!"
345
00:26:57.201 --> 00:26:58.178
Yes!
346
00:26:58.439 --> 00:27:01.606
He's not charging the jury. He's
convicting you .. look at their faces.
347
00:27:07.586 --> 00:27:09.205
In closing, let me repeat.
348
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:14.570
It is for you to decide which of the
evidence is in accord with the facts.
349
00:27:17.650 --> 00:27:19.335
The jury will now retire
to reach a verdict.
350
00:27:33.417 --> 00:27:36.373
Your Honor .. there is
no need for us to retire.
351
00:27:39.388 --> 00:27:42.352
Silence! Or the court will be cleared!
352
00:27:42.933 --> 00:27:44.200
Silence!
353
00:27:47.862 --> 00:27:49.920
Have you reached a verdict?
- We have, Your Honor.
354
00:27:50.783 --> 00:27:52.797
The defendant will
rise and face the jury.
355
00:28:01.510 --> 00:28:05.267
We the jury, find the defendant
Clifford Pyncheon, guilty as charged.
356
00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:08.402
No, no! He's innocent! You
all know he's innocent.
357
00:28:09.589 --> 00:28:11.151
Silence!
358
00:28:11.419 --> 00:28:12.812
Please, Your Honor.
359
00:28:13.800 --> 00:28:16.273
It is to our everlasting disgrace.
360
00:28:16.827 --> 00:28:21.590
That in these modern times, such
barbaric demonstrations should occur.
361
00:28:21.604 --> 00:28:25.851
The State's behaviour during this trial
has turned into a travesty of justice.
362
00:28:26.432 --> 00:28:30.332
Ignorance and prejudice reminiscent
of 17th century witch-hunting.
363
00:28:30.595 --> 00:28:32.442
Have condemned an innocent man.
364
00:28:37.717 --> 00:28:39.464
We remind Counsel for the Defense ..
365
00:28:39.781 --> 00:28:42.712
That his remarks insolently question
the integrity of this court.
366
00:28:44.320 --> 00:28:45.358
Order!
367
00:28:51.707 --> 00:28:53.915
Clifford Pyncheon .. step forward.
368
00:28:59.800 --> 00:29:02.610
This court has found
you guilty of patricide.
369
00:29:02.967 --> 00:29:05.298
And it therefore becomes my duty ..
370
00:29:06.290 --> 00:29:08.312
To pronounce sentence upon you.
371
00:29:09.482 --> 00:29:11.470
Because of the failure of the State ..
372
00:29:11.620 --> 00:29:15.289
To offer proof beyond the circumstantial
evidence which has convicted you ..
373
00:29:15.992 --> 00:29:17.707
I withhold the death penalty ..
374
00:29:18.394 --> 00:29:22.441
And sentence you to life imprisonment
in the State Penitentiary.
375
00:29:30.902 --> 00:29:33.715
Look at her. Coming to court in a dress
like that. She ought to be ashamed.
376
00:29:33.981 --> 00:29:38.128
Hold your wicked tongue, you
gossiping old .. witch.
377
00:29:40.703 --> 00:29:45.137
I'll see the Governor of the State. I'll
not rest until you're free Clifford.
378
00:29:45.826 --> 00:29:50.980
You look so beautiful in this dress
Hepzibah. I'm glad you wore it today.
379
00:29:52.286 --> 00:29:55.269
I'll always remember you
just as you are now.
380
00:29:59.263 --> 00:30:02.920
The court wishes at this time to
publicly commend Jaffrey Pyncheon.
381
00:30:03.971 --> 00:30:09.485
His love of justice exceeded his natural
impulse to shield one of his own blood.
382
00:30:10.227 --> 00:30:13.938
Mr Pyncheon, I predict that such
virtues will not remain unrewarded.
383
00:30:14.296 --> 00:30:17.348
You will go far in the service
of justice and your country.
384
00:30:17.719 --> 00:30:19.464
One minute, all you.
385
00:30:21.164 --> 00:30:23.597
Your Honor .. I am innocent.
386
00:30:24.298 --> 00:30:27.527
More than any living soul he
knows that I am innocent.
387
00:30:27.972 --> 00:30:31.465
It is because your lie is
so great, so infamous ..
388
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:35.213
That decent human beings
cannot believe it to be a lie.
389
00:30:36.177 --> 00:30:40.255
You've sacrificed everything that's
decent, everything that's honorable.
390
00:30:40.947 --> 00:30:43.914
You've used the most degenerate
means to gain your ends.
391
00:30:44.538 --> 00:30:46.153
You have the house.
392
00:30:47.374 --> 00:30:51.363
With it .. you have inherited
the Pyncheon tradition.
393
00:30:51.739 --> 00:30:54.127
All the tradition of your ancestors.
394
00:30:54.541 --> 00:30:56.704
You believe in those
traditions, don't you.
395
00:30:57.155 --> 00:30:59.300
You believe in your heritage.
396
00:30:59.822 --> 00:31:02.600
Then may you also inherit Maule's curse.
397
00:31:03.431 --> 00:31:05.859
God has given him blood to drink.
398
00:31:44.162 --> 00:31:46.620
I intend to start the
dismantling in the attic.
399
00:31:46.405 --> 00:31:48.278
First of all, all the flooring
must be torn up.
400
00:31:48.886 --> 00:31:52.871
Then the plaster broken out of the
walls, and the boards removed carefully.
401
00:31:53.258 --> 00:31:54.525
Board by board?
402
00:31:55.350 --> 00:31:58.950
That will be expensive Mr Pyncheon.
It will take time.
403
00:31:58.462 --> 00:32:00.583
I shall be on hand to see that
that time is not wasted.
404
00:32:00.905 --> 00:32:02.556
Of course, if the job
isn't to your liking.
405
00:32:02.656 --> 00:32:04.856
Oh no. I'll start the first
thing in the morning.
406
00:32:05.327 --> 00:32:06.592
Thank you Mr Pyncheon.
407
00:32:11.523 --> 00:32:14.449
My dear cousin, this manner of
departure is not befitting a Pyncheon.
408
00:32:15.792 --> 00:32:17.694
I forbid you to leave
this house in this way.
409
00:32:18.348 --> 00:32:20.642
What will people say, if I permit
you to wander the streets?
410
00:32:21.465 --> 00:32:24.808
Even if such scarlet tendencies
have been fostered in you.
411
00:32:29.769 --> 00:32:30.927
Good morning Mr Barton.
412
00:32:31.239 --> 00:32:33.983
Good morning .. oh hello my dear child.
413
00:32:34.303 --> 00:32:35.818
Father's Will?
- Yes.
414
00:32:36.351 --> 00:32:39.673
No, no. Don't go Hepzibah. You are
quite concerned in this little matter.
415
00:32:39.844 --> 00:32:41.967
Well, shall we adjourn to the library?
- Come.
416
00:32:46.950 --> 00:32:49.970
I trust you can dissuade my cousin
from any thoughtless action.
417
00:32:52.891 --> 00:32:55.563
To leave now, would be in
the worst possible taste.
418
00:32:57.180 --> 00:33:02.780
I uh .. I might even make her a
small allowance .. temporarily.
419
00:33:02.872 --> 00:33:05.351
I won't let a little thing like
that stand between us.
420
00:33:05.977 --> 00:33:08.368
I seek only one thing
between us .. distance.
421
00:33:08.664 --> 00:33:12.101
It will not be necessary to concern
yourself about Hepzibah, Mr Pyncheon.
422
00:33:12.862 --> 00:33:15.131
Your late father made certain
modest provisions ..
423
00:33:16.470 --> 00:33:18.764
I won't trouble you with
the legal details my dear.
424
00:33:19.295 --> 00:33:21.723
You may examine the Will and
documents at your leisure.
425
00:33:21.938 --> 00:33:23.445
The estate is quite uncomplicated.
426
00:33:23.950 --> 00:33:26.210
Fortunately, the deceased
was heavily insured.
427
00:33:26.616 --> 00:33:30.134
And the benefits there from, will more
than cover all outstanding debts.
428
00:33:31.460 --> 00:33:33.735
You will have about
400 dollars a year, Hepzibah.
429
00:33:34.777 --> 00:33:36.917
That's splendid .. then the
house is free of debt.
430
00:33:37.422 --> 00:33:39.463
I was afraid I might have
to borrow to save it.
431
00:33:39.840 --> 00:33:43.260
That would not have been of your concern
under any circumstances Mr Pyncheon.
432
00:33:43.415 --> 00:33:44.844
About six months ago.
433
00:33:45.353 --> 00:33:46.912
Long after the planning of this Will.
434
00:33:47.417 --> 00:33:52.970
The deceased sought to prevent creditors
from seizing the property so ..
435
00:33:53.870 --> 00:33:55.819
He signed the deed of ownership
over to someone else.
436
00:33:56.764 --> 00:34:00.237
Thus this house, its furnishings,
the grounds upon which it stands ..
437
00:34:00.675 --> 00:34:05.987
Became, and still remains .. the legal
property of .. Hepzibah Pyncheon.
438
00:34:06.683 --> 00:34:07.657
Goodbye my dear.
439
00:34:24.383 --> 00:34:26.374
There is infamous trickery behind this.
440
00:34:26.767 --> 00:34:29.892
I'll fight with every legal weapon,
with the Supreme Court if necessary.
441
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:33.499
My dear sir, surely you can apply your
energies to something more productive.
442
00:34:33.871 --> 00:34:36.139
If my years of legal experience
can serve you ..
443
00:34:36.613 --> 00:34:41.425
Be advised, that you have no more
chance than a .. zephyr in a wind-storm.
444
00:34:50.790 --> 00:34:53.423
Of all the crimes this evil
house has bred in the past ..
445
00:34:53.772 --> 00:34:57.907
None have been so cruel .. so
nakedly shameless as yours ..
446
00:34:59.620 --> 00:35:02.568
You destroyed your brother for it,
a joyous, living human-being.
447
00:35:03.438 --> 00:35:05.964
You exchanged him for rotting timbers.
448
00:35:06.464 --> 00:35:08.443
And depraved dreams of gold.
449
00:35:09.772 --> 00:35:11.401
With all that's beautiful in life ..
450
00:35:11.595 --> 00:35:15.768
You cling to one craven desire ..
this cursed, hateful house!
451
00:35:17.605 --> 00:35:21.232
You'll never have it. I'll live alone
here. I'll pay for my own life.
452
00:35:21.572 --> 00:35:23.403
You'll never again set foot in it!
453
00:36:14.910 --> 00:36:15.838
What was that?
454
00:36:21.916 --> 00:36:24.692
What is the meaning?
- I don't know.
455
00:36:32.134 --> 00:36:35.142
Something strange has
happened in that house.
456
00:39:00.610 --> 00:39:01.851
Thank you Ginger.
457
00:39:52.293 --> 00:39:55.183
Let go of me!
- Shut up.
458
00:39:55.447 --> 00:39:57.937
You may shut me up, but there are
other voices, thousands of them.
459
00:39:58.762 --> 00:39:59.955
Get in there!
460
00:40:00.732 --> 00:40:05.460
Tell the judge I'm not through. I stand
on my right to free speech and assembly.
461
00:40:05.532 --> 00:40:07.898
Maybe you'll sit down and shut up
before we're through with you.
462
00:40:07.998 --> 00:40:09.408
You'll never be done with me.
463
00:40:09.508 --> 00:40:12.468
The prison hasn't yet been built that
can stifle mankind's cry for freedom.
464
00:40:23.951 --> 00:40:25.756
Do you know why I've
been thrown in here?
465
00:40:26.621 --> 00:40:30.711
For the crime of advocating freedom.
For defending the abolition of slavery.
466
00:40:31.139 --> 00:40:36.435
In a land that was founded 70 years ago
with the blood of freedom-loving people.
467
00:40:36.762 --> 00:40:39.937
Today, those same fighters are
in prison, persecuted, shot.
468
00:40:40.281 --> 00:40:42.440
Can Americans have forgotten so soon?
469
00:40:42.313 --> 00:40:44.697
We abolitionists will remind
them of their heritage.
470
00:40:45.502 --> 00:40:46.302
Thanks.
471
00:40:52.731 --> 00:40:54.447
Perhaps you sir, can
unravel this enigma?
472
00:40:54.790 --> 00:40:57.519
How is it possible to arrest a man
for speaking freely of freedom ..
473
00:40:57.619 --> 00:41:00.120
In a country whose constitution
guarantees freedom?
474
00:41:00.508 --> 00:41:01.951
And justice.
- Precisely.
475
00:41:02.631 --> 00:41:06.945
There I was, addressing a meeting which
was disrupted by a band of ruffians.
476
00:41:07.314 --> 00:41:09.834
The result? I am became incited to riot!
477
00:41:10.389 --> 00:41:11.547
And for that, mind you.
478
00:41:11.894 --> 00:41:15.591
I stood before a jury whose verdict was
decided upon before they heard the case.
479
00:41:15.949 --> 00:41:18.976
A judge whose mind was made up
before I could offer my testimony.
480
00:41:20.735 --> 00:41:26.709
And for that, I have been confined
to this foul cell for ten long days.
481
00:41:27.439 --> 00:41:28.178
Thanks.
482
00:41:29.265 --> 00:41:31.446
Ten long days ..
483
00:41:32.986 --> 00:41:34.622
Are you interested in the cause, sir?
484
00:41:36.131 --> 00:41:37.486
The cause of freedom, yes.
485
00:41:38.199 --> 00:41:40.653
Well come in with us. When you
get out of here, join the fight.
486
00:41:41.695 --> 00:41:45.681
I'd be glad to but .. I'm not
sure if I'll ever get out.
487
00:41:46.437 --> 00:41:49.903
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Clifford Pyncheon.
488
00:41:58.352 --> 00:42:01.769
I fail to see the humor.
- Sorry sir, but you see, it is funny.
489
00:42:02.606 --> 00:42:06.398
For almost two centuries the Pyncheons
lived in fear of my ancestor's curse.
490
00:42:07.621 --> 00:42:09.891
My name sir, is "Matthew Maule".
491
00:42:20.352 --> 00:42:22.680
You don't believe in that nonsense?
492
00:42:22.789 --> 00:42:24.628
No, of course not ..
493
00:43:00.787 --> 00:43:03.905
Good evening Hepzibah.
- You're late, Mr Barton.
494
00:43:09.880 --> 00:43:11.119
I expected you yesterday.
495
00:43:11.219 --> 00:43:13.679
My apologies Hepzibah. I
was out of town on business.
496
00:43:13.799 --> 00:43:16.994
But now I am at your service.
- Yesterday I had unwelcome news.
497
00:43:17.619 --> 00:43:20.107
Mark Pyncheon, a distant
relative, died a fortnight ago.
498
00:43:20.398 --> 00:43:21.947
Oh, my sympathies.
499
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:25.121
His daughter is homeless
and without a penny.
500
00:43:25.674 --> 00:43:28.300
It is written that she is arriving
here, to live with me.
501
00:43:28.369 --> 00:43:32.247
Well Hepzibah, a young
girl may brighten your days.
502
00:43:32.871 --> 00:43:35.680
We need affectionate companionship.
503
00:43:36.112 --> 00:43:39.557
I can't afford that luxury.
- She may lighten your burden.
504
00:43:40.221 --> 00:43:42.327
Death leaves only an
added burden for the living.
505
00:43:43.172 --> 00:43:45.407
You know, I've barely been
able to support myself.
506
00:43:46.984 --> 00:43:48.665
Letting rooms not a success, huh?
507
00:43:48.837 --> 00:43:51.341
No .. there is just the
young Mr Holgrave.
508
00:43:51.764 --> 00:43:55.182
Oh yes, that's the young man that makes
the new-fangled pictures upstairs.
509
00:43:55.836 --> 00:43:59.235
About this child .. with her to care
for, I will need more money.
510
00:43:59.808 --> 00:44:01.000
When does she arrive?
511
00:44:02.390 --> 00:44:04.192
I don't know. Perhaps immediately.
512
00:44:05.498 --> 00:44:08.306
There is but one solution .. trade.
513
00:44:09.207 --> 00:44:10.240
Trade?
514
00:44:10.710 --> 00:44:12.888
I shall convert the front
room into a cent-shop.
515
00:44:13.333 --> 00:44:17.320
But .. but you can't Hepzibah.
It's just impossible.
516
00:44:17.408 --> 00:44:20.187
Selling cookies and
cider .. a gentlewoman ..
517
00:44:20.685 --> 00:44:21.858
Trading in pickles.
518
00:44:22.384 --> 00:44:24.675
The outlay will be negligible.
The rent free.
519
00:44:25.940 --> 00:44:27.824
The child will help me run the
shop and thus maintain herself.
520
00:44:28.200 --> 00:44:32.850
Have you discussed this idea
with .. with Mr Holgrave?
521
00:44:33.389 --> 00:44:35.350
Mr Holgrave? .. Why?
522
00:44:35.641 --> 00:44:39.864
Well .. a gentleman might not like
his lodgings over a cent-shop.
523
00:44:40.849 --> 00:44:42.230
I shall inform him at once.
524
00:44:43.260 --> 00:44:44.935
Thank you for coming over.
525
00:44:53.237 --> 00:44:58.220
Let me advance you enough money
to prevent this rush into trade.
526
00:44:58.594 --> 00:45:03.257
No thank you Mr Barton .. I've accepted
too many kindnesses from you already.
527
00:45:05.292 --> 00:45:07.984
You are a very obstinate girl, Hepzibah.
528
00:45:20.966 --> 00:45:22.286
[ door knocks ]
529
00:45:22.623 --> 00:45:23.649
Come in.
530
00:45:37.950 --> 00:45:39.998
Forgive this intrusion Mr Holgrave.
- Intrusion?
531
00:45:40.781 --> 00:45:42.826
Why, a visit from you is a
rare and honored occasion.
532
00:45:43.627 --> 00:45:47.731
I came to give you sufficient notice.
You may care to give up your lodgings.
533
00:45:48.571 --> 00:45:51.874
You aren't giving up the house?
- I will convert the parlor into a shop.
534
00:45:52.355 --> 00:45:54.342
The place will no longer
be suited for a gentleman.
535
00:45:54.442 --> 00:45:56.373
Well, the matter is easily
settled Miss Pyncheon.
536
00:45:56.624 --> 00:45:58.990
I am no gentleman, neither
by birth nor by instinct.
537
00:45:59.254 --> 00:46:01.252
Your conduct has always
let me to believe you were.
538
00:46:01.832 --> 00:46:04.409
I speak frankly, Miss Hepzibah
for surely we are friends.
539
00:46:04.906 --> 00:46:06.709
This decision marks a
new epic in your life.
540
00:46:07.356 --> 00:46:10.124
Hitherto, the lifeblood has been
chilling in your veins as you sit aloof.
541
00:46:10.595 --> 00:46:12.785
While the rest of the world
was fighting out its battle.
542
00:46:13.224 --> 00:46:16.920
The moment you start to work ..
and become engaged with people.
543
00:46:17.488 --> 00:46:20.650
You'll have the sense of
contributing .. however little ..
544
00:46:20.611 --> 00:46:22.710
To the struggle of mankind.
545
00:46:22.592 --> 00:46:26.390
And that .. not money, is the
only success there is in life.
546
00:46:28.580 --> 00:46:32.333
Such ideas .. have not been
voiced in this house ..
547
00:46:33.719 --> 00:46:36.491
For many years.
- You'll hear them again Miss Hepzibah.
548
00:46:38.200 --> 00:46:39.601
[ door knocks ]
549
00:46:40.292 --> 00:46:43.142
Well, a visitor .. Seven Gables
is coming to life tonight.
550
00:46:43.837 --> 00:46:46.705
Perhaps I should say .. life
is coming into Seven Gables.
551
00:46:59.940 --> 00:47:03.908
The honorable Jaffrey Pynchon ..
preserved for posterity.
552
00:47:18.857 --> 00:47:21.650
Good evening.
- Come in.
553
00:47:30.810 --> 00:47:30.996
I ..
554
00:47:32.289 --> 00:47:35.271
I'm Phoebe Pyncheon ..
you're cousin Hepzibah.
555
00:47:35.874 --> 00:47:36.930
Yes.
556
00:47:38.300 --> 00:47:40.270
I'm sorry about your father.
557
00:47:41.443 --> 00:47:42.921
Welcome to Seven Gables.
558
00:48:23.392 --> 00:48:25.370
This room connects with mine.
559
00:48:25.967 --> 00:48:29.550
To have so invited myself
into your home is ..
560
00:48:30.500 --> 00:48:32.200
Is an unforgivable intrusion.
561
00:48:32.857 --> 00:48:35.954
Had you another place to go?
- No cousin Hepzibah.
562
00:48:36.385 --> 00:48:37.253
Well then ..
563
00:48:37.540 --> 00:48:40.146
Didn't I say you were welcome?
- Oh yes, cousin Hepzibah. Thank you.
564
00:48:40.701 --> 00:48:43.947
I shall prove no burden to you. My
fingers are nimble with a needle.
565
00:48:44.123 --> 00:48:47.853
I shall relieve you of all kitchen
chores and be as helpful as I can.
566
00:48:50.425 --> 00:48:52.968
I plan to open a cent-shop.
- A cent-shop?
567
00:48:53.257 --> 00:48:56.820
I can help. I can run it for you cousin
Hepzibah. I know all about such things.
568
00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:01.637
Once at a fair I had a table .. everyone
said my wares were wondrously displayed.
569
00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:05.367
My receipts were the highest of all.
Oh, you will let me help, won't you?
570
00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:09.343
Won't you?
571
00:49:10.354 --> 00:49:12.439
Yes.
- Oh, cousin Hepzibah.
572
00:49:14.630 --> 00:49:18.620
You will find an extra comforter in the
wardrobe, should the night turn chilly.
573
00:49:21.532 --> 00:49:23.270
Goodnight cousin Hepzibah.
574
00:51:08.816 --> 00:51:11.228
Goodnight.
575
00:51:57.822 --> 00:51:59.547
Very good.
- Splendid.
576
00:52:00.110 --> 00:52:02.699
The leaflets will be ready for
distribution tomorrow, Mr Wainwright.
577
00:52:02.960 --> 00:52:06.400
Yes, and I have forty lads ready
to scatter them over the county.
578
00:52:06.431 --> 00:52:07.452
Reverend Smith ..
579
00:52:07.839 --> 00:52:11.991
In his letter Garrison stated that 30
more negroes had arrived in a fortnight.
580
00:52:12.581 --> 00:52:15.932
Arrangements have been made for their
safe conduct to Canada excepting one.
581
00:52:17.200 --> 00:52:18.674
Our financial help is sorely needed.
582
00:52:19.211 --> 00:52:21.227
And we're ready to give it
to them, ain't we Deacon?
583
00:52:21.357 --> 00:52:22.633
Oh yes, certainly.
584
00:52:22.897 --> 00:52:26.574
Our people have responded nobly to the
cause. How much have we now, Deacon?
585
00:52:27.510 --> 00:52:29.533
Oh well over 5000 dollars.
586
00:52:29.823 --> 00:52:31.593
You have it carefully
hidden away, Deacon?
587
00:52:31.693 --> 00:52:33.765
Oh indeed, Mr Wainwright.
Most carefully.
588
00:52:34.350 --> 00:52:37.978
The Deacon will turn the money over when
you're ready to deliver it, Mr Holgrave.
589
00:52:38.295 --> 00:52:40.482
Garrison will communicate with me.
It will be any day.
590
00:52:40.827 --> 00:52:42.597
Well, goodnight, gentlemen.
- Goodnight.
591
00:52:42.697 --> 00:52:44.134
Goodnight Reverend.
592
00:52:44.234 --> 00:52:46.213
I'll let you know when I hear anything.
- Very well.
593
00:52:46.313 --> 00:52:48.122
Goodnight Deacon .. pleasant dreams.
594
00:52:48.693 --> 00:52:51.171
Same to you, sir .. same to you.
595
00:52:55.156 --> 00:52:56.970
Well, can you imagine?
596
00:52:58.790 --> 00:53:01.325
Who would ever think that old maid
Pyncheon would go on to trade?
597
00:53:04.705 --> 00:53:05.765
A cent shop ..
598
00:53:06.387 --> 00:53:10.491
Miss Pyncheon. Her sour face will scare
more people than her sweets can attract.
599
00:53:10.761 --> 00:53:12.264
Sweets? You are right.
600
00:53:14.870 --> 00:53:16.501
Goodbye and thank you very much.
601
00:53:17.880 --> 00:53:20.550
Our first sale! Oh we will be
successful, I know we will.
602
00:53:20.828 --> 00:53:21.975
Won't we Mr Holgrave.
603
00:53:22.750 --> 00:53:24.870
Why, it's a foregone conclusion, people
will be drawn from great distances.
604
00:53:25.257 --> 00:53:28.414
Really .. why?
- Your smile .. it's magnetic.
605
00:53:30.949 --> 00:53:34.400
Cousin Hepzibah and I really have
much to thank you for Mr Holgrave.
606
00:53:34.917 --> 00:53:37.522
Why, without your help this shop
would not have been possible.
607
00:53:37.940 --> 00:53:41.372
Oh I didn't do anything. Cut through the
door and window and built a few shelves.
608
00:53:41.712 --> 00:53:45.668
But you're a photographer. How is
it you're so expert at carpentry?
609
00:53:46.150 --> 00:53:50.930
Miss Phoebe. You're right to question
the source of my innumerable talents.
610
00:53:50.504 --> 00:53:51.830
To prove my main occupation.
611
00:53:52.476 --> 00:53:57.346
In my short career I've had success as a
schoolmaster, a salesman of perfumes ..
612
00:53:57.616 --> 00:54:00.588
Steam locomotives .. political
editor of a newspaper.
613
00:54:01.328 --> 00:54:05.741
Why go on? The list is without end.
- Oh, you take nothing seriously.
614
00:54:07.525 --> 00:54:09.755
May I prove to you
otherwise Miss Phoebe?
615
00:54:11.164 --> 00:54:12.819
Oh, a customer ..
616
00:54:15.100 --> 00:54:17.630
It's a charming customer ..
It's Jaffrey Pyncheon.
617
00:54:25.830 --> 00:54:28.217
I wish to see Miss Pyncheon immediately.
- Good morning, Judge.
618
00:54:29.500 --> 00:54:31.667
Ah, Holgrave. I fear you have
betrayed my friendship.
619
00:54:31.937 --> 00:54:34.871
You might have warned me of the
birth of this disgraceful enterprise.
620
00:54:35.658 --> 00:54:37.680
Hurry girl, get Miss Pyncheon.
621
00:54:37.996 --> 00:54:40.895
Permit me to introduce
the young lady, Judge.
622
00:54:47.180 --> 00:54:50.569
I wish a moment alone with you.
- Your wishes are not served here.
623
00:54:50.908 --> 00:54:54.833
Very well .. if you prefer the airing of
your shameless conduct before strangers.
624
00:54:55.569 --> 00:54:58.551
First of all you allow this house to
deteriorate into a village slum.
625
00:54:58.953 --> 00:55:02.718
Then you turn it into a lodging house,
and now this: a huckster's enterprise!
626
00:55:03.563 --> 00:55:05.207
I'll not permit such a blot on our name.
627
00:55:05.357 --> 00:55:07.202
If your name needs
protection from anything ..
628
00:55:07.553 --> 00:55:10.882
It's from the scandalous enterprises
you yourself have lent it these years.
629
00:55:11.624 --> 00:55:13.277
This shop will be closed.
630
00:55:13.971 --> 00:55:16.244
I will request the courts to
issue a restraining order.
631
00:55:17.230 --> 00:55:19.840
You will leave here .. at once.
632
00:55:20.613 --> 00:55:26.939
News! Excellent news.
The very best of .. news.
633
00:55:27.561 --> 00:55:29.928
I hope you will share our joy, sir.
634
00:55:30.209 --> 00:55:34.191
Your years of waiting are not in vain,
Hepzibah. Clifford is to be released.
635
00:55:34.932 --> 00:55:37.157
The new Governor has commuted
your brother's sentence.
636
00:55:37.486 --> 00:55:41.112
The papers are already signed my dear.
- The station is headed for destruction.
637
00:55:41.642 --> 00:55:45.928
If people's votes puts an incompetent in
office it is time to withdraw the vote.
638
00:55:46.274 --> 00:55:48.300
Or restrict it to those
who vote your way.
639
00:55:48.529 --> 00:55:49.470
Exactly!
640
00:55:55.365 --> 00:55:58.729
Would you go to meet him, Hepzibah?
- No.
641
00:56:00.448 --> 00:56:02.401
His homecoming should be regarded ..
642
00:56:03.200 --> 00:56:05.180
As if he were merely returning
from a brief journey.
643
00:56:05.650 --> 00:56:08.927
I suppose you'll want to get
his old room ready, eh?
644
00:56:10.997 --> 00:56:13.138
It has .. always been ready.
645
00:59:19.583 --> 00:59:21.199
I think someone's in the house.
- Yes.
646
00:59:21.474 --> 00:59:24.180
I must have left the front door open.
- No, I did.
647
00:59:27.300 --> 00:59:28.635
He's come home.
648
01:01:39.103 --> 01:01:41.733
But why didn't you want to see
him last night, cousin Hepzibah?
649
01:01:43.475 --> 01:01:44.948
Look to the biscuits Phoebe.
650
01:01:45.263 --> 01:01:47.766
They're to be brown to the point of
burning, but not burnt, mind you.
651
01:01:52.679 --> 01:01:54.495
Did you bring a pot of
honey from the cellar?
652
01:01:54.647 --> 01:01:56.140
Yes, cousin Hepzibah.
653
01:01:57.440 --> 01:01:59.913
The "clover" I hope. He always
insisted on wild honey.
654
01:02:00.262 --> 01:02:02.612
Shall I start the eggs now?
- Heavens no, child.
655
01:02:03.248 --> 01:02:05.620
Not until he's at the table.
656
01:02:17.410 --> 01:02:19.166
He must see you first Phoebe.
657
01:02:20.123 --> 01:02:21.804
Just as you stand there in the sunlight.
658
01:02:22.921 --> 01:02:24.424
And smile when he comes in.
659
01:02:26.133 --> 01:02:27.654
Your beauty will please him.
660
01:02:28.527 --> 01:02:30.330
The golden sunlight of your hair.
661
01:02:32.330 --> 01:02:35.910
It will warm his heart.
- Oh no, cousin Hepzibah.
662
01:02:36.760 --> 01:02:37.907
He'll find you as lovely as ever.
663
01:02:49.566 --> 01:02:50.695
Good morning Clifford.
664
01:02:52.580 --> 01:02:54.242
This is cousin Phoebe of whom I wrote.
665
01:02:58.444 --> 01:02:59.768
Good morning, child.
666
01:03:02.778 --> 01:03:04.111
The shop. I ..
667
01:03:05.473 --> 01:03:06.553
Excuse me, sir.
668
01:03:13.357 --> 01:03:15.366
Your .. breakfast is ready Clifford.
669
01:03:18.334 --> 01:03:21.570
I will start the eggs.
- Please, Hepzibah.
670
01:03:24.346 --> 01:03:25.773
I want to look at you.
671
01:03:28.680 --> 01:03:29.627
There's little left to see, Clifford.
672
01:03:30.297 --> 01:03:31.928
Let my eyes be your bearer.
673
01:03:33.243 --> 01:03:35.363
And then your beauty will never fade.
674
01:03:37.104 --> 01:03:40.168
Time only makes more beautiful
a heart such as yours.
675
01:03:45.179 --> 01:03:49.662
How can I ever make known
to you .. my gratitude.
676
01:03:51.830 --> 01:03:54.415
My humility before such
a loyalty and courage.
677
01:03:57.538 --> 01:03:59.228
Smile Hepzibah.
678
01:04:00.273 --> 01:04:02.340
Now that we're together again.
679
01:04:02.902 --> 01:04:04.170
Smile ..
680
01:04:11.832 --> 01:04:13.581
It's not now too late for us, Clifford.
681
01:04:14.757 --> 01:04:15.442
No.
682
01:04:17.607 --> 01:04:19.250
In a short while ..
683
01:04:20.697 --> 01:04:23.100
The past will be but a shadowy memory.
684
01:04:25.921 --> 01:04:28.779
Two hundred and thirty-six.
Two hundred and thirty-seven.
685
01:04:29.171 --> 01:04:31.999
Two hundred and thirty-eight.
Two hundred and thirty-nine.
686
01:04:32.504 --> 01:04:33.684
Got it! Relax ..
687
01:04:35.539 --> 01:04:38.497
Relax? I can't ..
- I'll have it free in a moment.
688
01:04:39.361 --> 01:04:42.638
Why that wasn't long. A year ago it
would have taken a half-hour.
689
01:04:43.610 --> 01:04:46.441
Today, science has advanced and can take
a picture in less than four minutes.
690
01:04:46.770 --> 01:04:48.150
I thought it would never end.
691
01:04:49.610 --> 01:04:51.890
Why did you want this picture
of me Mr Holgrave?
692
01:04:51.300 --> 01:04:54.338
So that people won't accuse me of
being such an unconscionable liar.
693
01:04:54.868 --> 01:04:57.944
How can I proclaim you the most
beautiful maiden in the universe ..
694
01:04:58.169 --> 01:04:59.221
And have no proof?
695
01:04:59.476 --> 01:05:02.269
The daguerreotype doesn't lie.
- But Mr Holgrave ..
696
01:05:03.182 --> 01:05:05.708
Phoebe .. when are you going to
stop calling me Mr Holgrave?
697
01:05:06.312 --> 01:05:08.730
Do I have to wait until people
call you Mrs Holgrave?
698
01:05:09.152 --> 01:05:11.570
Mr Holgrave!
- I'm sorry.
699
01:05:11.957 --> 01:05:14.122
Phoebe .. what I'm
trying to say is that ..
700
01:05:14.752 --> 01:05:16.212
I love you more than life itself.
701
01:05:16.892 --> 01:05:18.884
Oh but .. that can't be.
702
01:05:19.530 --> 01:05:21.250
Your life is so full. You're ..
703
01:05:22.188 --> 01:05:23.683
Your interests are so many, why ..
704
01:05:24.593 --> 01:05:27.229
I haven't scope enough
to make you happy.
705
01:05:27.780 --> 01:05:29.459
There can be no happiness without you.
706
01:05:30.315 --> 01:05:31.771
Phoebe .. you do love me?
707
01:05:34.159 --> 01:05:35.605
You are looking into my heart ..
708
01:05:36.138 --> 01:05:37.212
Mr Holgrave.
709
01:05:48.100 --> 01:05:50.540
Mr Holgrave .. permit me to introduce ..
710
01:05:51.752 --> 01:05:52.925
Mr Clifford Pyncheon.
711
01:05:53.640 --> 01:05:55.630
I'm honored sir.
- How do you do.
712
01:05:56.420 --> 01:05:59.421
My Pyncheon has just returned
from .. a distant land.
713
01:06:01.627 --> 01:06:02.838
He will stay on with us.
714
01:06:03.505 --> 01:06:04.974
You'll enjoy Seven Gables, sir.
715
01:06:05.777 --> 01:06:08.177
Yes Mr Holgrave, I think I will.
716
01:06:18.596 --> 01:06:22.162
The very first thing I'm going to do is
make this garden beautiful again.
717
01:06:22.985 --> 01:06:25.100
Then we aren't leaving this
house at once, Clifford?
718
01:06:26.684 --> 01:06:27.496
Not yet.
719
01:06:29.367 --> 01:06:33.770
Not right away.
- Clifford, you think of Jaffrey again.
720
01:06:33.956 --> 01:06:36.758
Please don't .. he's a man
of great wealth and power ..
721
01:06:36.878 --> 01:06:42.935
All these years, you've been waiting
alone .. in this cold, empty tomb.
722
01:06:43.511 --> 01:06:47.513
I didn't mind darling .. I knew all the
time that we would be together again.
723
01:06:48.932 --> 01:06:49.969
And we are ..
724
01:06:51.101 --> 01:06:53.242
Now the past can become a distant dream.
725
01:06:54.181 --> 01:06:57.487
It will, dearest Hepzibah.
- Then don't seek vengeance, Clifford.
726
01:06:57.937 --> 01:07:01.533
Providence and fate .. will best
reward him for his crime.
727
01:07:33.545 --> 01:07:34.724
Crazy I tell you.
728
01:07:35.205 --> 01:07:37.525
Twenty years in prison have
made him lose his mind.
729
01:07:37.875 --> 01:07:39.767
Maybe.
- It happens. I know ..
730
01:07:40.898 --> 01:07:44.240
I was in once for thirty days and
I almost went crazy myself.
731
01:07:45.415 --> 01:07:48.600
Maybe. But this Tribune doesn't lie.
732
01:07:48.307 --> 01:07:53.310
It says here that when he was in prison,
he studied a lot of old documents.
733
01:07:53.257 --> 01:07:55.858
What's all this mystery about Clifford
Pyncheon looking for gold?
734
01:07:56.233 --> 01:07:59.200
Gold, gentlemen, is not unlike
happiness. It is where you find it.
735
01:08:00.130 --> 01:08:01.424
But this paper claims ..
736
01:08:01.544 --> 01:08:05.110
Jeremiah, you're old enough to know
that newspapers say all sort of things.
737
01:08:05.328 --> 01:08:08.356
Aye, but he's crazy I tell you.
Didn't he kill his father?
738
01:08:08.685 --> 01:08:09.500
Did he now?
739
01:08:09.697 --> 01:08:11.818
Well .. the courts say so.
740
01:08:12.206 --> 01:08:14.729
The courts say lots of things, and
sometimes they're right too.
741
01:08:18.180 --> 01:08:19.196
Your health ..
742
01:08:25.117 --> 01:08:28.808
Mr Holgrave.
- Why, if it ain't Mr Weed.
743
01:08:29.900 --> 01:08:31.801
Oh Annie, a glass of buttermilk
for the gentleman.
744
01:08:33.644 --> 01:08:36.731
Good evening Phineas, and how is the
honorable Judge Pyncheon this evening?
745
01:08:36.918 --> 01:08:37.955
Honorable, is it?
746
01:08:38.550 --> 01:08:40.691
Merely a figure of speech,
gentlemen. A figure of speech.
747
01:08:40.971 --> 01:08:43.260
If he's got a million, he's
automatically honorable.
748
01:08:44.609 --> 01:08:46.170
He's in excellent health, sir.
749
01:08:46.441 --> 01:08:49.529
Of course he is. As he dines on
the meats of those he cheats.
750
01:08:49.736 --> 01:08:52.473
And the widows and orphans
he turns on the streets.
751
01:08:54.650 --> 01:08:57.256
Judge Pyncheon is most
anxious to see you, Mr Holgrave.
752
01:08:57.549 --> 01:08:59.682
It's a matter of great urgency.
753
01:09:00.305 --> 01:09:03.308
Can it be the good judge is displeased
at the portraits I made of him?
754
01:09:03.574 --> 01:09:04.860
Heavens, no.
755
01:09:05.160 --> 01:09:08.203
Well, can he possibly be wanting
to pay me for my work?
756
01:09:08.550 --> 01:09:11.630
Heavens, no! He never pays.
757
01:09:12.384 --> 01:09:14.886
That's why he's so rich.
- And that's why he stays so rich.
758
01:09:16.180 --> 01:09:19.780
Gentlemen, gentlemen, we're
living in an age of miracles.
759
01:09:21.600 --> 01:09:22.311
Come, Mr Weed.
760
01:09:24.523 --> 01:09:27.500
Don't worry, my dear Deacon.
You can leave everything to me.
761
01:09:27.913 --> 01:09:30.513
Oh thank you, thank you so much.
- Goodnight.
762
01:09:32.100 --> 01:09:32.926
Yes?
763
01:09:34.138 --> 01:09:36.588
Mr Holgrave.
- Well, have him come in.
764
01:09:39.588 --> 01:09:40.460
Good evening.
765
01:09:40.560 --> 01:09:42.357
Evening Holgrave.
You know Deacon Foster?
766
01:09:42.457 --> 01:09:44.485
Oh yes, we meet quite frequently,
don't we Deacon.
767
01:09:44.710 --> 01:09:46.503
Yes, yes, quite frequently.
768
01:09:47.406 --> 01:09:50.119
Well, good evening gentlemen.
- Good evening.
769
01:09:50.936 --> 01:09:51.827
Sit down.
770
01:09:53.190 --> 01:09:55.481
To be frank with you, I seek advice.
771
01:09:56.213 --> 01:09:59.154
I find myself deeply concerned
over my brother since his release.
772
01:09:59.772 --> 01:10:04.100
Yes, he has suffered a great deal.
- True, but then crime profits no-one.
773
01:10:05.828 --> 01:10:08.739
However, I refer to these disquieting
rumors in the newspapers.
774
01:10:09.105 --> 01:10:11.885
Poor Clifford's search for
treasure? I saw that too.
775
01:10:12.842 --> 01:10:15.340
It's true, isn't it?
- I'm afraid it is.
776
01:10:16.498 --> 01:10:18.371
His incarceration has left
his mind unbalanced.
777
01:10:18.559 --> 01:10:21.256
But it's perfectly harmless Judge
Pyncheon. A childish fancy.
778
01:10:21.491 --> 01:10:22.645
Of course, of course.
779
01:10:23.153 --> 01:10:24.138
But tell me.
780
01:10:24.698 --> 01:10:26.386
How does he come to such hallucinations?
781
01:10:26.610 --> 01:10:30.893
From what I gather, he spent his prison
days studying some ancient documents.
782
01:10:32.950 --> 01:10:34.750
Where did he get them?
- I don't know, but he's got them.
783
01:10:35.260 --> 01:10:38.168
Old maps, and the original architect's
plans of Seven Gables.
784
01:10:38.842 --> 01:10:41.687
The man is mad I tell you. He should
be committed to an institution.
785
01:10:41.912 --> 01:10:44.430
But why? He's absolutely
harmless, Judge Pyncheon.
786
01:10:44.701 --> 01:10:47.987
All he does is go around tapping
walls and removing a board or two.
787
01:10:48.894 --> 01:10:49.795
Do you know ..
788
01:10:50.490 --> 01:10:54.259
He thinks there's half a million in gold
hidden away in that house someplace.
789
01:10:55.161 --> 01:10:57.827
A half a million ..
- Yes, yes.
790
01:10:58.372 --> 01:11:01.273
Very amusing, but be fair Holgrave.
791
01:11:01.595 --> 01:11:05.414
Don't you think he and everyone would
be happier if he were in an institution?
792
01:11:05.677 --> 01:11:07.933
He's happy there. Can you imagine?
793
01:11:08.991 --> 01:11:11.699
He has plans of secret staircases.
794
01:11:13.132 --> 01:11:17.470
He says his ancestors built them to hide
from witch-hunters and Maule's ghost.
795
01:11:17.799 --> 01:11:20.513
Secret staircases, Maule's ghost?
796
01:11:21.526 --> 01:11:25.611
The documents show that?
- So he claims. A half a million ..
797
01:11:55.226 --> 01:11:56.493
Good morning ladies.
798
01:12:03.940 --> 01:12:06.597
I wish to see my brother.
- He doesn't share your wishes.
799
01:12:07.208 --> 01:12:11.809
You cannot conceal from me matters that
are common knowledge in the village.
800
01:12:12.475 --> 01:12:15.601
I don't know what you mean.
- Clifford's insanity.
801
01:12:21.639 --> 01:12:24.832
Such evil gossip can only have been
started by one person .. yourself.
802
01:12:25.216 --> 01:12:28.550
Would you swear this is untrue? That
Clifford is not tearing down the house?
803
01:12:28.869 --> 01:12:32.120
Seeking the money ..
- Such ideas are furthest from his mind.
804
01:12:32.355 --> 01:12:33.393
[ Bang! ]
805
01:12:35.133 --> 01:12:35.978
[ Bang! ]
806
01:12:37.737 --> 01:12:40.965
I knew I could rely on Mr Holgrave's
word. - Mr Holgrave?
807
01:12:42.298 --> 01:12:44.628
My dear cousin, I fear that
your loyalty to Clifford ..
808
01:12:44.896 --> 01:12:47.261
Has .. overshadowed
your adherence to truth.
809
01:12:50.719 --> 01:12:53.770
You can't endanger the community
by harboring a madman.
810
01:12:55.260 --> 01:12:56.296
Oh well, no matter.
811
01:12:56.674 --> 01:12:59.788
I've already written to the State
Asylum for the Mentally Incompetent.
812
01:13:00.635 --> 01:13:02.992
They can handle Clifford
far more efficiently than I.
813
01:13:07.755 --> 01:13:09.135
Judge Pyncheon!
814
01:13:10.985 --> 01:13:13.304
I must see you .. I must talk to you.
815
01:13:14.522 --> 01:13:15.414
Well get in.
816
01:13:44.221 --> 01:13:45.461
Mr Holgrave.
817
01:13:46.719 --> 01:13:48.447
What cruel jest is this Mr Holgrave?
818
01:13:49.423 --> 01:13:52.287
Well, it was not my intention
to alarm you, Miss Hepzibah.
819
01:13:52.503 --> 01:13:53.833
Just what was your intention?
820
01:13:54.400 --> 01:13:58.550
Well .. just an impulse .. a
momentary lapse of reason.
821
01:13:59.639 --> 01:14:03.404
I merely sought to add realism to ..
- Realism? .. For what?
822
01:14:06.418 --> 01:14:08.471
Are you responsible for that
slanderous story in the papers?
823
01:14:08.571 --> 01:14:10.232
Matthew, please tell us what's happened.
824
01:14:11.509 --> 01:14:14.673
Perhaps you have found it amusing to
rekindle the fires of Jaffrey's greed.
825
01:14:15.884 --> 01:14:18.251
Since Clifford's return, you've
been together constantly.
826
01:14:19.749 --> 01:14:21.881
It's a strange way to repay
friendship, Mr Holgrave.
827
01:14:22.285 --> 01:14:25.900
He can explain cousin Hepzibah.
Can't you Matthew?
828
01:14:28.689 --> 01:14:31.543
Unfortunately the explanation
is not mine to give.
829
01:14:32.717 --> 01:14:34.933
Please leave here as soon
as you find new lodgings.
830
01:14:46.910 --> 01:14:48.880
Mr Pyncheon sir, I beg
you to be more explicit.
831
01:14:49.659 --> 01:14:52.194
In a short time, I shall be called
upon to account for this money.
832
01:14:52.495 --> 01:14:57.105
My dear Deacon, I have already told you
that no news can be expected this week.
833
01:14:57.997 --> 01:15:00.780
But it's an investment
of such a large sum.
834
01:15:00.250 --> 01:15:02.233
You have entrusted it
to a Pyncheon, sir.
835
01:15:18.685 --> 01:15:20.328
Morning Mr Fuller. Anything for me?
836
01:15:21.258 --> 01:15:24.328
Must be .. or Ginger never
would have stopped.
837
01:15:26.714 --> 01:15:29.784
Here .. here you are .. yes sir.
- Thank you.
838
01:15:31.330 --> 01:15:32.310
Giddy-up Ginger.
839
01:16:16.800 --> 01:16:20.399
Forgive me cousin Hepzibah ..
I'll try not to act silly again.
840
01:16:21.901 --> 01:16:24.610
He knows his presence
is intolerable to us.
841
01:16:24.929 --> 01:16:27.336
Yet a week has passed since I
asked him to seek other lodgings.
842
01:16:27.782 --> 01:16:30.927
But .. why does cousin
Clifford wish him to stay?
843
01:16:32.418 --> 01:16:34.730
Clifford doesn't know anything
about what has happened.
844
01:16:36.358 --> 01:16:37.710
I didn't want to upset him.
845
01:16:41.820 --> 01:16:44.827
Once he's gone .. it will be
easier for you Phoebe, won't it.
846
01:16:51.528 --> 01:16:54.873
Matthew Holgrave has spent
his last night in this house.
847
01:16:56.487 --> 01:16:59.990
When he returns he will find
his possessions on the doorstep.
848
01:17:30.100 --> 01:17:32.668
Cousin Hepzibah, please
don't send him away.
849
01:17:32.940 --> 01:17:35.419
If Matthew leaves,
I must leave with him.
850
01:17:35.791 --> 01:17:38.950
Cousin Hepzibah .. I love him.
851
01:17:51.112 --> 01:17:53.542
We must leave Seven Gables at
once Clifford, before it's too late.
852
01:17:54.276 --> 01:17:56.548
Hepzibah, you're trembling.
- I fear for you.
853
01:17:56.980 --> 01:17:57.844
But why?
854
01:17:58.592 --> 01:18:00.717
Don't ask me to tell you
Clifford .. trust me please ..
855
01:18:01.186 --> 01:18:04.476
Take me away Clifford. As far away from
this house we can go. I beseech you.
856
01:18:10.326 --> 01:18:13.354
We can't go just yet Hepzibah.
- But why?
857
01:18:14.117 --> 01:18:17.803
I should have told you right
away .. but I'm not free.
858
01:18:18.472 --> 01:18:20.327
My sentence was merely commuted.
859
01:18:20.820 --> 01:18:25.562
Until I can prove I am innocent .. we
cannot marry .. I have no civil rights.
860
01:18:26.138 --> 01:18:29.537
I had hoped, by now ..
- Oh it doesn't matter, we'll go anyway.
861
01:18:30.920 --> 01:18:32.815
We must leave this house today darling.
Now, before he ever comes again.
862
01:18:32.915 --> 01:18:33.903
Who?
- Jaffrey.
863
01:18:34.300 --> 01:18:37.118
I'm waiting for him to come here again.
- No! He's planning to harm you.
864
01:18:37.391 --> 01:18:39.128
I also have plans ..
865
01:18:39.541 --> 01:18:42.976
Vengeance is not a weapon for human
hands. Clifford, you don't understand.
866
01:18:43.352 --> 01:18:45.521
There's Mr Holgrave who lives
here. His name is really ..
867
01:18:45.621 --> 01:18:49.418
Matthew Maule .. I know .. he's a
friend of mine, dearest Hepzibah.
868
01:18:50.334 --> 01:18:52.588
Now let me explain this to you.
869
01:18:55.478 --> 01:18:57.770
Excuse me sir, but the mail has arrived.
870
01:18:58.944 --> 01:19:01.949
Deacon Foster called earlier this
morning sir, before you had awakened.
871
01:19:02.409 --> 01:19:03.653
He seemed quite disturbed.
872
01:19:03.836 --> 01:19:06.990
Everyone is disturbed. We
live in disturbing times.
873
01:19:06.343 --> 01:19:07.244
Yes, sir.
874
01:19:31.196 --> 01:19:32.544
You may go, Weed.
875
01:19:35.568 --> 01:19:38.280
I must have that money.
- Now, now. Calm yourself.
876
01:19:38.425 --> 01:19:43.277
No, no I can't. It's your continued
"evasions" if I may use such a word ..
877
01:19:43.502 --> 01:19:44.689
That cause my agitation.
878
01:19:45.185 --> 01:19:47.533
When I brought this money,
you said it was a safe investment.
879
01:19:47.633 --> 01:19:49.564
That I could have it back
the moment I needed it.
880
01:19:49.671 --> 01:19:52.830
You knew it wasn't mine,
that I'd have to return it.
881
01:19:52.423 --> 01:19:53.907
Well, now the time has come.
882
01:19:54.700 --> 01:19:57.300
My dear man, there is always an
element of risk in these transactions.
883
01:19:57.313 --> 01:20:00.688
A storm may delay the ship for
weeks. It may even be captured.
884
01:20:01.830 --> 01:20:02.679
A ship? Captured?
885
01:20:03.737 --> 01:20:06.238
Perhaps you'll finally tell me
what this money is invested in?
886
01:20:07.430 --> 01:20:09.136
We're not engaged in something illegal?
887
01:20:09.984 --> 01:20:12.557
Are you suddenly concerned
over moral values, Deacon?
888
01:20:13.260 --> 01:20:15.866
You did not ask me that question when I
told you there was a profit to be made.
889
01:20:16.709 --> 01:20:18.330
Yes, it is illegal.
890
01:20:18.794 --> 01:20:22.149
Your money went to help finance
a slave-runner from Africa.
891
01:20:22.609 --> 01:20:26.634
A slave-runner? .. Abolitionist
money financing a slave-runner?
892
01:20:28.221 --> 01:20:30.296
Oh what curses will follow me!
893
01:20:31.770 --> 01:20:35.540
Oh help me Jaffrey, help me put it back
before they find out .. lend it to me.
894
01:20:35.887 --> 01:20:39.800
You idiot! You think I would have come
to you for money had I any of my own?
895
01:20:39.108 --> 01:20:40.300
But you're so wealthy.
896
01:20:40.400 --> 01:20:42.647
I have been at times,
but now I am penniless.
897
01:20:42.747 --> 01:20:45.696
You could mortgage this house.
- I already did so, six months ago.
898
01:20:46.244 --> 01:20:47.714
Well, what am I to do?
899
01:20:48.239 --> 01:20:50.427
Well now, brace yourself
man, brace yourself.
900
01:20:50.850 --> 01:20:53.789
What's going to happen? Look at me,
I've weathered worse storms than this.
901
01:20:53.909 --> 01:20:56.165
Yet here I am, still un-battered.
- I'm ruined.
902
01:20:56.568 --> 01:20:59.751
How can I face those good
people .. I'd sooner kill myself.
903
01:21:00.418 --> 01:21:03.380
You have my word sir ..
the word of a Pyncheon.
904
01:21:04.596 --> 01:21:06.624
And there is every reason to hope.
905
01:21:07.544 --> 01:21:11.840
You are a resourceful man, Jaffrey.
If you want to, you can help me.
906
01:21:11.432 --> 01:21:14.671
I will Arnold .. go home and keep your
mouth shut until you hear from me.
907
01:21:23.310 --> 01:21:24.380
Weed!
908
01:21:25.394 --> 01:21:26.348
Yes sir?
909
01:21:26.641 --> 01:21:28.915
I'm going to the house at Seven
Gables. I'll be back shortly.
910
01:21:29.131 --> 01:21:30.202
Yes sir.
911
01:21:42.358 --> 01:21:44.231
Good morning Mrs Foster,
is the Deacon at home?
912
01:21:44.902 --> 01:21:45.488
No.
913
01:21:45.710 --> 01:21:48.752
We've been looking for him
all over town. Where is he?
914
01:21:49.447 --> 01:21:51.616
You'll find him over at
Judge Pyncheon's.
915
01:21:52.367 --> 01:21:54.127
There's a smell of a
mackerel about this.
916
01:21:58.433 --> 01:21:59.677
I wish to see Mr Pyncheon.
917
01:21:59.953 --> 01:22:02.741
But cousin Clifford is .. I mean ..
- Never mind what you mean ..
918
01:22:03.640 --> 01:22:05.360
If you don't announce me,
I shall announce myself.
919
01:22:20.715 --> 01:22:24.434
You look well Jaffrey.
Overfed, but well.
920
01:22:25.350 --> 01:22:27.899
I haven't come here to discuss
my health. - I know.
921
01:22:29.223 --> 01:22:31.730
You want the house, don't you Jaffrey?
922
01:22:32.218 --> 01:22:35.786
Well, you can have it .. and
everything that goes with it.
923
01:22:37.700 --> 01:22:39.645
If you will just sign this paper.
924
01:22:48.565 --> 01:22:49.870
Now, why should I do that?
925
01:22:50.208 --> 01:22:53.160
You'll have the house,
I'll gain my freedom.
926
01:22:54.828 --> 01:22:57.485
Sign a confession that I accused
you falsely at the trial?
927
01:22:57.777 --> 01:23:02.932
It doesn't read in that way .. it merely
states that perhaps you were in error.
928
01:23:03.345 --> 01:23:06.210
That's all Jaffrey.
You made a mistake.
929
01:23:07.630 --> 01:23:08.809
Now you wish to rectify it.
930
01:23:10.425 --> 01:23:12.210
You are mad aren't you.
931
01:23:12.854 --> 01:23:14.997
I advise you to turn the house
over to me immediately ..
932
01:23:15.970 --> 01:23:17.568
Before I am forced to have you
committed you to an institution.
933
01:23:18.415 --> 01:23:22.556
The authorities are deeply concerned at
your odd behavior since your release.
934
01:23:23.737 --> 01:23:25.735
[ door knocks ]
935
01:23:27.884 --> 01:23:30.219
I must see Judge Pyncheon. Where is he?
- In the library.
936
01:23:30.689 --> 01:23:32.228
Oh, just a moment ..
937
01:23:35.496 --> 01:23:37.230
The money Jaffrey,
I must have it at once.
938
01:23:37.727 --> 01:23:39.956
If we have business to discuss
we'll do it in my office.
939
01:23:40.760 --> 01:23:42.676
No Jaffrey, I can't wait. They been
out to my house looking for me.
940
01:23:43.890 --> 01:23:44.512
They follow me. They suspect ..
941
01:23:44.612 --> 01:23:46.471
I don't know what you're
talking about Arnold.
942
01:23:46.571 --> 01:23:49.200
Will you please wait outside for me.
- No, I won't. You got me into this.
943
01:23:49.320 --> 01:23:51.256
You never said what you
would do with the money.
944
01:23:51.465 --> 01:23:53.698
You promised to let me
have it back in time.
945
01:23:54.505 --> 01:23:56.411
Here they are! Jaffrey, here they are!
946
01:23:56.842 --> 01:24:00.626
They're coming here! Jaffrey! They're
coming here! How can I face them?
947
01:24:00.864 --> 01:24:02.526
Think of my family, my children!
948
01:24:02.958 --> 01:24:05.320
Think of their disgrace when
they hear of my betrayal!
949
01:24:05.144 --> 01:24:06.851
Oh Jaffrey, please!
950
01:24:14.960 --> 01:24:15.960
I had made up my mind
before I came here.
951
01:24:18.450 --> 01:24:19.303
You got me into this.
952
01:24:21.340 --> 01:24:23.199
You are going to take the blame.
953
01:24:33.378 --> 01:24:34.740
[ gunshot ]
954
01:24:58.184 --> 01:24:59.228
Murderer.
955
01:25:04.403 --> 01:25:06.213
You don't know what you
are saying Hepzibah.
956
01:25:08.242 --> 01:25:10.870
Well don't stand there
staring at me that way.
957
01:25:12.711 --> 01:25:13.515
Murderer!
958
01:25:13.755 --> 01:25:15.829
You know it isn't true. You
know I didn't do anything.
959
01:25:16.108 --> 01:25:18.317
I heard a shot I tell you.
- Let us in!
960
01:25:18.625 --> 01:25:20.728
See who it is Phoebe.
- You know who it is.
961
01:25:21.134 --> 01:25:22.576
Don't let them in.
962
01:25:23.635 --> 01:25:26.195
Clifford, they'll kill me if they find
out what I did with their money.
963
01:25:26.392 --> 01:25:29.111
Hid me .. the secret staircase ..
- There is no secret staircase.
964
01:25:29.400 --> 01:25:31.658
But you lie! The plans! Holgrave
told me of the plans.
965
01:25:31.778 --> 01:25:36.108
There's no plans, no Holgrave ..
His name is "Matthew Maule".
966
01:25:36.623 --> 01:25:37.562
Matthew Maule?
967
01:25:38.644 --> 01:25:42.900
It's Mr Wainwright, Mr Hawkins,
Reverend Smith and Matthew ..
968
01:25:42.129 --> 01:25:43.429
Ask them in.
- No!
969
01:25:43.962 --> 01:25:48.507
No .. no, don't let them in! They are
fanatics! They'll murder me.
970
01:25:49.837 --> 01:25:53.209
Here .. I'll do anything you
want .. anything you say.
971
01:25:55.432 --> 01:25:59.421
There .. you're free now .. you can have
the house .. and all the money in it.
972
01:26:01.672 --> 01:26:03.928
No .. no, no ..
973
01:26:04.138 --> 01:26:06.106
Oh Matthew, quickly .. hurry ..
974
01:26:06.375 --> 01:26:08.722
No, no, no. Don't let them in!
975
01:26:09.248 --> 01:26:12.347
Keep away from me! Keep away from me!
976
01:26:48.146 --> 01:26:50.465
I now pronounce you man and wife.
977
01:26:58.812 --> 01:27:00.690
Congratulations.
- Thank you, sir.
978
01:27:01.883 --> 01:27:03.789
Congratulations.
- Thank you, sir.
979
01:27:03.909 --> 01:27:07.506
Don't dawdle, you'll miss the train.
Come oñ, your things are at the station.
980
01:27:07.626 --> 01:27:09.939
Matthew .. Matthew, we must go.
981
01:27:19.657 --> 01:27:21.640
Where's that red carpet-bag?
- It's over here.
982

Clifford .. Hepzibah ..
983
01:27:30.552 --> 01:27:34.774
You know, I've always thought
of you two, just this way.
984
01:27:35.653 --> 01:27:37.966
Time will never leave its mark upon you.
985
01:27:39.176 --> 01:27:41.955
I will always see you two äs you were ..
986
01:27:42.691 --> 01:27:44.449
In the very beginning ..
987
01:27:48.310 --> 01:27:50.290
Don't worry, everything will be alright.
988
01:27:50.277 --> 01:27:51.967
Goodbye Mr Barton, goodbye.
989
01:27:52.451 --> 01:27:54.566
