00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:07,000
2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
3
00:00:22,401 --> 00:00:26,280
(melancholic orchestral music)
4
00:01:29,468 --> 00:01:33,889
(gentle thoughtful orchestral music)
5
00:02:00,625 --> 00:02:04,003
(light orchestral music)
6
00:02:19,143 --> 00:02:23,147
- Master Bartle is indeed
a lucky man. (chuckles)
7
00:02:23,230 --> 00:02:26,108
- Aye, his wife will be
silent at least one day.
8
00:02:26,233 --> 00:02:29,570
(woman yelling indistinctly)
9
00:02:29,737 --> 00:02:32,323
(men laughing)
10
00:02:41,832 --> 00:02:43,209
- A pretty spectacle,
11
00:02:43,292 --> 00:02:46,379
my bosom companion seated
in the stocks again.
12
00:02:48,714 --> 00:02:50,758
But it pains me more than thee.
13
00:02:50,841 --> 00:02:51,676
- Aye.
14
00:02:53,511 --> 00:02:55,137
But not in the same place.
15
00:02:57,598 --> 00:03:00,184
(bell tolling)
16
00:03:21,247 --> 00:03:23,874
- Ah, here comes your beloved now.
17
00:03:23,958 --> 00:03:24,709
- Oh, Bartholomew.
18
00:03:24,792 --> 00:03:27,628
Bartholomew, stand before me, please.
19
00:03:27,712 --> 00:03:28,921
Please, stand before me.
20
00:03:32,591 --> 00:03:34,009
- Good day, Mistress Abigail.
21
00:03:34,093 --> 00:03:35,302
- Good day, Master Bartholomew.
22
00:03:35,386 --> 00:03:36,762
- Perhaps thou hast seen Master Sampson?
23
00:03:36,846 --> 00:03:37,847
I'm waiting here for him.
24
00:03:37,930 --> 00:03:41,267
- Oh, look, Mother! Master
Sampson's in the stocks!
25
00:03:41,350 --> 00:03:43,769
(bell tolls)
26
00:03:45,312 --> 00:03:47,481
- Greetings, Mistress Abigail.
27
00:03:47,565 --> 00:03:48,983
- Sinner!
28
00:03:49,066 --> 00:03:52,194
You had better heed the teaching
of the Reverend Dimmesdale
29
00:03:52,278 --> 00:03:55,072
or you will end your days on a scaffold.
30
00:03:58,284 --> 00:03:59,702
- Hey, Ishkaba.
31
00:03:59,785 --> 00:04:02,204
(bell tolls)
32
00:04:04,540 --> 00:04:07,334
(Roger speaking Native American language)
33
00:04:07,418 --> 00:04:10,171
(Ishkaba speaking Native
American language)
34
00:04:10,254 --> 00:04:11,088
- Ah.
35
00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:19,513
(bell tolls)
(townspeople chattering)
36
00:04:31,942 --> 00:04:35,070
(Roger sighs)
37
00:04:35,154 --> 00:04:35,905
- Good day.?
38
00:04:35,988 --> 00:04:37,406
- Good day, mistress.
39
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:39,909
Can you serve me food and lodgings?
40
00:04:39,992 --> 00:04:41,243
(bell tolls)
41
00:04:41,327 --> 00:04:43,913
- (chuckles) Lodging, we have none.
42
00:04:43,996 --> 00:04:46,457
But can you not return later for food?
43
00:04:46,540 --> 00:04:49,835
Even now, the bell summons
us all to the square.
44
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:52,213
- Is it a feast day?
45
00:04:52,296 --> 00:04:53,631
- Have you not heard of the scandal
46
00:04:53,714 --> 00:04:55,591
in the Master Dimmesdale's church?
47
00:04:56,509 --> 00:04:57,885
From whence came you?
48
00:04:57,968 --> 00:05:01,305
- From the South, where I was shipwrecked
49
00:05:01,388 --> 00:05:04,725
and spent two weary
years among the heathens.
50
00:05:04,809 --> 00:05:06,936
(bell tolls)
- Oh.
51
00:05:07,019 --> 00:05:09,897
It must gladden your heart
to again be in a land
52
00:05:09,980 --> 00:05:13,108
where iniquity is
searched out and punished.
53
00:05:13,192 --> 00:05:14,068
- Truly.
54
00:05:14,151 --> 00:05:16,403
- Even today, a gentlewoman
is being punished
55
00:05:16,487 --> 00:05:19,490
by the magistrate for adultery!
56
00:05:19,573 --> 00:05:21,742
- Does her husband accuse her?
57
00:05:21,826 --> 00:05:23,994
- Oh, no. No, she's a widow.
58
00:05:24,078 --> 00:05:26,288
Her husband was a learned doctor.
59
00:05:26,372 --> 00:05:28,707
The plague, which is raging
in London, detained him,
60
00:05:28,791 --> 00:05:30,209
so he sent her on ahead.
61
00:05:30,292 --> 00:05:31,627
(bell tolls)
62
00:05:31,710 --> 00:05:32,920
- What happened to him?
63
00:05:33,003 --> 00:05:34,880
- He must be at the bottom of the sea,
64
00:05:34,964 --> 00:05:36,590
for there have been no tidings from him
65
00:05:36,674 --> 00:05:38,425
in over two years.
66
00:05:38,509 --> 00:05:40,761
Being left to her own misguidance,
67
00:05:40,845 --> 00:05:43,806
his wife, Hester Prynne, went astray.
68
00:05:43,889 --> 00:05:45,391
- Hester Prynne!
69
00:05:45,474 --> 00:05:48,394
It's a lie. A purer creature never lived.
70
00:05:48,477 --> 00:05:49,353
- You know her?
71
00:05:49,436 --> 00:05:51,939
- Know her? I'm her husb...
72
00:05:52,022 --> 00:05:54,066
Her husband's best friend.
73
00:05:54,149 --> 00:05:54,984
- Oh.
74
00:05:55,818 --> 00:05:57,278
- Who accuses her?
75
00:05:58,195 --> 00:05:59,071
- Her child.
76
00:05:59,154 --> 00:06:01,574
(bell tolls)
77
00:06:02,658 --> 00:06:04,702
- Hester Prynne, a child?
78
00:06:04,785 --> 00:06:06,954
- Aye, a little girl.
79
00:06:09,999 --> 00:06:13,752
- You mean Hester Prynne has borne a child
80
00:06:13,836 --> 00:06:15,588
in the past two years?
81
00:06:17,256 --> 00:06:18,090
- I do.
82
00:06:23,262 --> 00:06:25,681
(bell tolls)
83
00:06:31,604 --> 00:06:33,355
- It would be well for the public
84
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:35,983
if we women has the
handling of such hussies
85
00:06:36,066 --> 00:06:36,984
as Hester Prynne.
86
00:06:37,067 --> 00:06:38,569
- Well said, goodwife.
87
00:06:38,652 --> 00:06:40,362
We would teach her a pretty lesson.
88
00:06:44,491 --> 00:06:47,161
(drums beating)
89
00:06:55,210 --> 00:06:58,631
(townspeople chattering)
90
00:06:59,465 --> 00:07:02,092
- These people are mad to look
upon a gentlewoman's shame.
91
00:07:02,176 --> 00:07:03,427
- But, Master Dimmesdale,
92
00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:06,680
Moses and the law commands
that such as she be stoned.
93
00:07:06,764 --> 00:07:08,974
- Yes, but one greater than Moses said,
94
00:07:09,058 --> 00:07:10,476
"He that is without sin, among you,
95
00:07:10,559 --> 00:07:12,061
"let him first cast a stone."
96
00:07:12,144 --> 00:07:13,062
- Master Dimmesdale, you
should not take the sin
97
00:07:13,145 --> 00:07:15,439
of one of your flock so much to heart.
98
00:07:15,522 --> 00:07:18,359
- Governor Bellingham, our
Lord did pardon such a one.
99
00:07:18,442 --> 00:07:20,110
He said, "Go, woman, and sin no more."
100
00:07:20,194 --> 00:07:21,445
Cannot we do as much?
101
00:07:21,528 --> 00:07:24,615
- Oh, with what could so be
pardoned to precede the penalty?
102
00:07:27,034 --> 00:07:29,703
(drums beating)
103
00:07:33,874 --> 00:07:37,294
(townspeople chattering)
104
00:07:48,347 --> 00:07:50,432
- A blessing on ye righteous people
105
00:07:50,516 --> 00:07:53,894
of the colony of the Massachusetts.
106
00:07:53,978 --> 00:07:57,398
(townspeople chattering)
107
00:08:08,617 --> 00:08:10,411
(baby crying)
108
00:08:10,494 --> 00:08:11,829
Make way, good people.
109
00:08:11,912 --> 00:08:14,999
Make way in the king's name.
110
00:08:15,082 --> 00:08:18,502
(townspeople chattering)
111
00:08:26,176 --> 00:08:30,305
- Look, the baggage walks
with the dignity of a queen.
112
00:08:30,389 --> 00:08:31,849
Has she no shame?
113
00:08:31,932 --> 00:08:34,560
- Peace, peace. She suffers enough.
114
00:08:35,853 --> 00:08:39,273
(townspeople chattering)
115
00:09:10,637 --> 00:09:14,850
- Hester Prynne, you have
been found guilty of adultery.
116
00:09:14,933 --> 00:09:18,896
We are loathed to invoke
the full penalty of the law,
117
00:09:18,979 --> 00:09:21,023
so if you have us be merciful,
118
00:09:21,106 --> 00:09:24,401
reveal the name of him that tempted you.
119
00:09:26,278 --> 00:09:27,112
- No.
120
00:09:29,114 --> 00:09:30,657
- Master Dimmesdale, as her pastor,
121
00:09:30,741 --> 00:09:32,910
you know best what arguments to use
122
00:09:32,993 --> 00:09:35,913
to prevail upon her to speak his name.
123
00:09:35,996 --> 00:09:37,164
- Would wrong the nature of woman,
124
00:09:37,247 --> 00:09:39,583
to force her to lay
open her heart's secret
125
00:09:39,666 --> 00:09:41,001
before so great a multitude.
126
00:09:41,085 --> 00:09:43,212
- The shame lay in the
commission of the sin,
127
00:09:43,295 --> 00:09:44,922
not in the showing of it.
128
00:09:45,005 --> 00:09:47,216
Someone must deal with this sinner.
129
00:09:47,299 --> 00:09:48,342
Shall it be you or I?
130
00:09:55,766 --> 00:09:57,810
- Poor Master Dimmesdale.
131
00:09:57,893 --> 00:09:59,812
It is a shame that such a scandal
132
00:09:59,895 --> 00:10:02,439
should come upon his congregation.
133
00:10:02,523 --> 00:10:03,357
- Hester Prynne,
134
00:10:05,234 --> 00:10:08,028
I beg you to speak out the
name of your fellow sinner.
135
00:10:10,114 --> 00:10:13,826
Be not silent from any
mistaken pity for him,
136
00:10:13,909 --> 00:10:18,789
for your silence compels
him to add hypocrisy to sin,
137
00:10:18,872 --> 00:10:21,834
though he has not the courage
to grasp it for himself.
138
00:10:23,210 --> 00:10:24,711
For the peace of his soul,
139
00:10:26,088 --> 00:10:29,842
do not deny him the comfort
of an honest confession,
140
00:10:31,009 --> 00:10:33,679
even though he were to
step down from a high place
141
00:10:33,762 --> 00:10:35,097
to share your shame.
142
00:10:37,391 --> 00:10:38,600
(townspeople chattering)
143
00:10:38,684 --> 00:10:40,561
- Speak, woman, speak!
144
00:10:40,644 --> 00:10:42,813
- Aye!
- Aye, speak!
145
00:10:42,896 --> 00:10:44,231
Speak!
- No!
146
00:10:44,314 --> 00:10:45,357
No, never!
147
00:10:47,234 --> 00:10:50,612
I wish I could bear his
agony as well as mine.
148
00:10:59,872 --> 00:11:03,876
- Hester Prynne, so that all men may know
149
00:11:03,959 --> 00:11:07,087
you are guilty of the sin of adultery,
150
00:11:07,171 --> 00:11:10,048
and shun you as a fiend of evil,
151
00:11:10,132 --> 00:11:15,137
it is now ordered that you
shall wear upon your bosom
152
00:11:15,220 --> 00:11:20,142
for the rest of your natural
life the scarlet letter A.
153
00:11:20,225 --> 00:11:23,645
(townspeople chattering)
154
00:11:24,479 --> 00:11:26,273
- A wise sentence.
155
00:11:26,356 --> 00:11:28,859
She will be a living sermon against sin.
156
00:11:28,942 --> 00:11:30,736
- But she can cover the mark with her hand
157
00:11:30,819 --> 00:11:32,696
and stroll about as bold as ever.
158
00:11:32,779 --> 00:11:35,699
- True, it would be better
if they put the brand
159
00:11:35,782 --> 00:11:37,618
of the hot iron on her forehead.
160
00:11:37,701 --> 00:11:39,411
That she could not hide.
161
00:11:39,494 --> 00:11:41,538
- Let her cover the mark as she will.
162
00:11:41,622 --> 00:11:44,208
The pain of it will
always be in her heart.
163
00:11:44,291 --> 00:11:47,711
(townspeople chattering)
164
00:12:12,861 --> 00:12:16,782
(thoughtful orchestral music)
165
00:12:22,037 --> 00:12:24,790
(door knocking)
166
00:12:58,657 --> 00:13:02,160
(somber orchestral music)
167
00:13:15,507 --> 00:13:17,134
- You should not have come here.
168
00:13:19,136 --> 00:13:20,679
- Hester, I cannot keep silent.
169
00:13:21,555 --> 00:13:22,806
I will not see you go through life
170
00:13:22,889 --> 00:13:24,349
with that infamous brand,
171
00:13:24,433 --> 00:13:26,476
while people look upon me with reverence.
172
00:13:27,352 --> 00:13:29,396
I must reveal myself for what I am.
173
00:13:29,479 --> 00:13:30,814
- No, no, Arthur!
174
00:13:30,897 --> 00:13:32,607
It would make my burden only the heavier
175
00:13:32,691 --> 00:13:33,442
to see you dishonored.
176
00:13:33,525 --> 00:13:35,277
- How could I stand in my pulpit
177
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,822
and meet the eyes of the people
who are hungry for truth,
178
00:13:38,905 --> 00:13:42,743
knowing in my soul that I'm a living lie?
179
00:13:45,579 --> 00:13:46,830
Hester, we must marry.
180
00:13:49,541 --> 00:13:50,417
- Think not of us.
181
00:13:51,335 --> 00:13:53,128
Your duty's with the people.
182
00:13:53,211 --> 00:13:56,006
They've entrusted their
very souls to your care.
183
00:13:56,089 --> 00:13:58,800
If we destroy their faith,
where will they turn?
184
00:13:58,884 --> 00:14:00,927
What will they do?
185
00:14:01,011 --> 00:14:02,721
- What can a ruined soul like mine
186
00:14:02,804 --> 00:14:04,806
do toward the redemption of other souls?
187
00:14:06,183 --> 00:14:08,393
- You have repented.
188
00:14:08,477 --> 00:14:11,938
Your life is not less holy
than it appears in their eyes.
189
00:14:12,022 --> 00:14:16,026
To destroy their faith would
be a greater sin, and...
190
00:14:16,109 --> 00:14:18,987
And it would only shatter
the love we bear each other.
191
00:14:20,322 --> 00:14:22,532
No, Arthur, it cannot be.
192
00:14:24,659 --> 00:14:26,203
- But what is to become of you?
193
00:14:27,371 --> 00:14:31,875
- My salvation, and yours,
can come only from heaven.
194
00:14:33,043 --> 00:14:35,253
Our very lives must be a living penance.
195
00:14:36,296 --> 00:14:37,464
It is God's will.
196
00:14:38,799 --> 00:14:41,676
- His will be done.
197
00:14:48,225 --> 00:14:53,230
Bless you, Hester, and may you find peace.
198
00:14:53,438 --> 00:14:58,402
- May you find peace.
199
00:15:02,614 --> 00:15:03,907
- Hester!
200
00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:04,783
Hester, what's the matter?
201
00:15:04,866 --> 00:15:05,700
- Nothing.
202
00:15:06,827 --> 00:15:11,123
It's-It's been such a
trying day, and I am tired.
203
00:15:12,624 --> 00:15:13,417
Please...
204
00:15:15,585 --> 00:15:17,712
Please, leave me alone.
205
00:15:20,298 --> 00:15:24,261
(melancholic orchestral music)
206
00:15:35,730 --> 00:15:37,691
- Your story is a strange one.
207
00:15:39,359 --> 00:15:42,028
Since the divine hand of
providence guided you here,
208
00:15:42,112 --> 00:15:43,238
I bid you welcome.
209
00:15:43,321 --> 00:15:44,823
- Thank you, sire.
210
00:15:44,906 --> 00:15:46,616
- Sign the record.
211
00:15:50,787 --> 00:15:51,621
Here.
212
00:16:31,536 --> 00:16:34,289
Ooh! A doctor of medicine?
213
00:16:34,372 --> 00:16:36,291
- Fortunately, it was
my skill in that science
214
00:16:36,374 --> 00:16:39,044
that won the friendship of the Indians,
215
00:16:39,127 --> 00:16:41,129
that enabled me to make my way here.
216
00:16:42,047 --> 00:16:44,382
- The colony is indeed fortunate.
217
00:16:44,466 --> 00:16:47,385
We have long needed a
skilled man of medicine.
218
00:16:47,469 --> 00:16:48,595
- Thank you.
219
00:16:48,678 --> 00:16:51,681
Now, where can I find lodging?
220
00:16:51,765 --> 00:16:53,391
The tavern is already filled.
221
00:16:55,060 --> 00:16:57,896
- Well, that is indeed a problem.
222
00:17:00,774 --> 00:17:02,359
Oh, Master Dimmesdale?
223
00:17:03,235 --> 00:17:04,486
Master Dimmesdale?
224
00:17:07,697 --> 00:17:08,782
- Yes, sire.
- Reverend Dimmesdale,
225
00:17:08,865 --> 00:17:10,867
this is Dr. Roger Chillingworth.
226
00:17:10,951 --> 00:17:12,452
- I bid you welcome.
- Thank you.
227
00:17:12,536 --> 00:17:15,705
- Master Dimmesdale, is
there not an unoccupied room
228
00:17:15,789 --> 00:17:18,124
where you dwell at
Mistress Crakstone's house?
229
00:17:18,208 --> 00:17:19,334
- Yes, sire, there is.
230
00:17:20,168 --> 00:17:22,254
- I'm sure that Mistress Crakstone
231
00:17:22,337 --> 00:17:23,838
will be pleased to let you have it.
232
00:17:23,922 --> 00:17:24,839
- I'll gladly take you there.
233
00:17:24,923 --> 00:17:25,757
- Thank you.
234
00:17:31,638 --> 00:17:33,390
- It's good to hear that you are a doctor.
235
00:17:33,473 --> 00:17:35,725
Mistress Prynne has suffered much today.
236
00:17:35,809 --> 00:17:37,477
Will you attend her?
237
00:17:37,561 --> 00:17:39,104
- As soon as I've secured my lodging.
238
00:17:39,187 --> 00:17:40,772
- It will be an act of kindness.
239
00:17:41,940 --> 00:17:44,276
- One that will give me pleasure, indeed.
240
00:17:49,614 --> 00:17:53,868
(gentle pensive orchestral music)
241
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:34,451
(door clicking)
242
00:18:55,930 --> 00:18:58,433
(baby crying)
243
00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:18,328
(light thoughtful orchestral music)
244
00:19:41,851 --> 00:19:44,479
Here, drink.
245
00:19:46,147 --> 00:19:49,943
- I have thought of
death, and wished for it,
246
00:19:50,026 --> 00:19:51,236
would even have prayed for it
247
00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:54,030
where it fits that such as
I should pray for anything.
248
00:19:56,116 --> 00:20:01,037
Yet, if death be in this cup,
249
00:20:01,121 --> 00:20:03,957
I bid you think well
before you see me drink it.
250
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,628
- Have no fear, my vengeance
is to let you live.
251
00:20:10,171 --> 00:20:12,048
To give you medicines against harm
252
00:20:13,591 --> 00:20:16,678
so that your burning shame
253
00:20:16,761 --> 00:20:20,932
may still blaze against your bosom.
254
00:20:21,015 --> 00:20:24,894
I will see your punishment
in the eyes of men and women.
255
00:20:25,812 --> 00:20:30,817
Yea, even in the eyes of
your own misbegotten child.
256
00:20:31,818 --> 00:20:33,111
So drink.
257
00:20:56,968 --> 00:21:00,305
- Roger, I have wronged you greatly.
258
00:21:00,388 --> 00:21:02,515
- [Roger] We have wronged each other.
259
00:21:04,142 --> 00:21:06,352
Mine was the first wrong,
260
00:21:06,436 --> 00:21:08,062
for thinking that one so young
261
00:21:08,146 --> 00:21:09,981
could mate with one as old as I.
262
00:21:11,107 --> 00:21:12,650
- You know I was frank.
263
00:21:12,734 --> 00:21:14,944
I felt no love for you, nor pretended any.
264
00:21:15,028 --> 00:21:18,782
- True. It was my folly and your weakness.
265
00:21:18,865 --> 00:21:22,535
So, between you and me, the
scale hangs fairly balanced.
266
00:21:24,078 --> 00:21:28,458
But, Hester, a man lives
who has wronged us both.
267
00:21:28,541 --> 00:21:29,709
Who is he?
268
00:21:31,544 --> 00:21:33,963
- That you shall never know.
269
00:21:34,047 --> 00:21:34,923
- Never?
270
00:21:36,090 --> 00:21:39,469
If he walk the earth, I'll find him.
271
00:21:39,552 --> 00:21:42,055
If he be in hell, I'll follow him.
272
00:21:42,138 --> 00:21:44,140
- No, no! The burden's mine.
273
00:21:44,224 --> 00:21:45,558
You must not harm him.
274
00:21:45,642 --> 00:21:49,813
- Have no fear, I shall
not betray him to the law.
275
00:21:49,896 --> 00:21:53,525
Let him hide himself in
outward honor if he may,
276
00:21:53,608 --> 00:21:56,986
nonetheless, he shall not escape me.
277
00:21:58,655 --> 00:21:59,823
- [Hester] Roger Prynne!
278
00:21:59,906 --> 00:22:00,740
- Prynne?
279
00:22:05,995 --> 00:22:08,081
Roger Prynne lives no more.
280
00:22:09,290 --> 00:22:12,627
I demand of you that you
breathe not to a human soul
281
00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:15,338
that you had ever called me husband.
282
00:22:15,421 --> 00:22:18,716
Henceforth, I shall be known
as Roger Chillingworth.
283
00:22:20,051 --> 00:22:24,055
- Why not announce yourself
openly, and cast me off at once?
284
00:22:24,138 --> 00:22:26,266
- Because I care not for the dishonor
285
00:22:26,349 --> 00:22:28,643
that follows the husband
of a faithless woman.
286
00:22:30,019 --> 00:22:34,732
Therefore, let me be known to
the world as one already dead.
287
00:22:35,608 --> 00:22:38,194
- I will keep your secret.
288
00:22:38,278 --> 00:22:40,572
- As you've kept his, I hope.
289
00:22:41,781 --> 00:22:44,284
(baby crying)
290
00:22:45,535 --> 00:22:48,746
And now, Hester, I leave you alone.
291
00:22:49,706 --> 00:22:53,960
Alone with your infant, and your shame.
292
00:22:59,507 --> 00:23:03,678
(playful orchestral music)
293
00:23:03,761 --> 00:23:06,514
(hammer banging)
294
00:23:19,068 --> 00:23:21,404
- It would be easier to take the wheel off
295
00:23:21,487 --> 00:23:23,489
if you remove the water casks.
296
00:23:27,535 --> 00:23:29,996
- Quiet! I was about to do so.
297
00:23:31,497 --> 00:23:34,042
(wood clatters)
298
00:23:34,125 --> 00:23:36,961
(water splashing)
299
00:23:40,757 --> 00:23:43,843
(children clamoring)
300
00:23:43,927 --> 00:23:45,178
This work would go much faster
301
00:23:45,261 --> 00:23:48,473
were my helper a man, instead of a midget.
302
00:23:48,556 --> 00:23:50,433
- Oh, yea?
- Aye.
303
00:23:50,516 --> 00:23:53,728
- My name is Sampson, and I'm
as strong as my name betokens.
304
00:23:53,811 --> 00:23:55,021
- Sayest thou?
305
00:23:55,104 --> 00:23:56,022
- Sayest I.
306
00:23:57,231 --> 00:23:59,817
- Couldst thou, unaided, support the cart?
307
00:23:59,901 --> 00:24:00,777
- Of a certainty.
308
00:24:00,860 --> 00:24:02,236
- Then position thyself.
309
00:24:03,196 --> 00:24:05,907
(hammer thuds)
310
00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:10,411
(playful orchestral music continues)
311
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,753
(wheel rattling)
312
00:24:26,344 --> 00:24:28,972
- Hey!
313
00:24:29,055 --> 00:24:31,099
- It will take but a moment.
314
00:24:36,896 --> 00:24:38,898
- Is there not a board left?
315
00:24:38,982 --> 00:24:40,608
- I have finished, goodwife, use mine.
316
00:24:40,692 --> 00:24:42,360
- [Woman] Oh, thank you!
317
00:24:42,443 --> 00:24:45,321
(water splashing)
318
00:24:45,405 --> 00:24:47,573
- What is this world coming to?
319
00:24:47,657 --> 00:24:48,741
Just look at this.
320
00:24:48,825 --> 00:24:51,661
Only five years old and
beginning to wear already.
321
00:24:51,744 --> 00:24:53,871
- I think five years' wear is good enough.
322
00:24:53,955 --> 00:24:55,707
- That's the trouble with you young folk,
323
00:24:55,790 --> 00:24:58,042
you have no sense of good or bad.
324
00:24:58,126 --> 00:25:00,003
- Well said, Mistress Abigail.
325
00:25:00,086 --> 00:25:02,630
When I was a girl, things
were very different.
326
00:25:02,714 --> 00:25:04,424
- 'Tis disgraceful.
327
00:25:04,507 --> 00:25:06,300
Only last week, Thomas Cooke was seen
328
00:25:06,384 --> 00:25:07,510
kissing his wife on the Sabbath.
329
00:25:07,593 --> 00:25:08,761
- Oh!
- Is it so sinful
330
00:25:08,845 --> 00:25:10,805
to love a wife on the Lord's day?
331
00:25:10,888 --> 00:25:13,558
- For shame! That's the
work that they do to you.
332
00:25:13,641 --> 00:25:14,934
Take heed, young woman,
333
00:25:15,018 --> 00:25:17,603
lest you end up like yon miserable sinner.
334
00:25:20,898 --> 00:25:25,278
- I always said her
punishment was much too light.
335
00:25:26,487 --> 00:25:27,321
- Pearl!
336
00:25:30,366 --> 00:25:31,826
Pearl!
337
00:25:31,909 --> 00:25:33,786
- She has great skill with a needle.
338
00:25:33,870 --> 00:25:36,789
I would that I could employ her
to make my wedding garments.
339
00:25:36,873 --> 00:25:38,207
- Wedding garments?
340
00:25:38,291 --> 00:25:40,209
'Tis enough that honest folk let her
341
00:25:40,293 --> 00:25:42,128
earn her livelihood with her needle,
342
00:25:42,211 --> 00:25:45,381
but to permit her to
sew on wedding garments,
343
00:25:45,465 --> 00:25:47,383
well, that would be an ill omen.
344
00:25:51,763 --> 00:25:53,222
- [Hester] Where were you, dear?
345
00:25:53,306 --> 00:25:54,057
- Picking flowers.
346
00:25:54,140 --> 00:25:57,435
- (gasps) Aren't they lovely?
347
00:25:57,518 --> 00:25:59,395
- Who made the flowers, Mother?
348
00:25:59,479 --> 00:26:00,688
- God did.
349
00:26:00,772 --> 00:26:02,523
- Who made me?
350
00:26:02,607 --> 00:26:04,734
- God the Heavenly Father made all things.
351
00:26:05,693 --> 00:26:08,029
- I found the flowers in the field.
352
00:26:08,112 --> 00:26:10,531
Where did you find me?
353
00:26:10,615 --> 00:26:12,658
- (laughs) I found you on a rosebush.
354
00:26:13,826 --> 00:26:15,286
Oh!
355
00:26:15,369 --> 00:26:16,788
You run on, dear.
356
00:26:16,871 --> 00:26:18,039
- [Pearl] Bye!
357
00:26:20,750 --> 00:26:24,170
- Look at that child
dancing like a heathen.
358
00:26:24,253 --> 00:26:26,547
- Like mother, like child.
359
00:26:26,631 --> 00:26:28,049
It would be better if that young one
360
00:26:28,132 --> 00:26:31,803
were given over to a more
God-fearing woman for training.
361
00:26:31,886 --> 00:26:34,388
(water splashing)
362
00:26:34,472 --> 00:26:37,600
- [Children] Boom, boom, boom, boom!
363
00:26:37,683 --> 00:26:39,977
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
364
00:26:40,061 --> 00:26:41,896
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
365
00:26:42,772 --> 00:26:45,900
(hammer thudding)
366
00:26:45,983 --> 00:26:46,859
- Hey, Master Hockings.
367
00:26:46,943 --> 00:26:49,320
- Oh.
- Will you repair my basket?
368
00:26:49,403 --> 00:26:51,239
- Oh, it'll be a pleasure.
369
00:26:51,322 --> 00:26:52,365
It's quite heavy.
370
00:26:52,448 --> 00:26:53,616
- Mistress Billings was ill.
371
00:26:53,699 --> 00:26:54,909
I did her washing, also.
372
00:26:56,953 --> 00:26:57,787
- Hey!
373
00:27:00,289 --> 00:27:02,291
- It will take but a moment.
374
00:27:03,167 --> 00:27:05,920
(Sampson groans)
375
00:27:09,507 --> 00:27:12,635
- [Children] Boom, boom, boom, boom!
376
00:27:12,718 --> 00:27:14,637
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
377
00:27:16,389 --> 00:27:17,473
Boom!
- Halt!
378
00:27:24,272 --> 00:27:26,190
What are you doing here?
379
00:27:26,274 --> 00:27:27,191
- Marching.
380
00:27:28,943 --> 00:27:30,653
- Go away, you cannot play with us.
381
00:27:34,157 --> 00:27:35,449
Go away!
382
00:27:36,826 --> 00:27:39,954
(children laughing)
383
00:27:40,037 --> 00:27:41,330
Crybaby
384
00:27:41,414 --> 00:27:42,915
- [Children] Crybaby! Crybaby!
385
00:27:42,999 --> 00:27:44,584
- Stop it! Stop it!
386
00:27:45,585 --> 00:27:47,128
- Crybaby!
387
00:27:47,211 --> 00:27:48,087
- Stop it! (sobs)
388
00:27:48,171 --> 00:27:50,631
- [Children] Crybaby! Crybaby!
389
00:27:50,715 --> 00:27:51,757
Crybaby!
390
00:27:51,841 --> 00:27:54,218
- There you are, Mistress
Prynne. It's as good as new.
391
00:27:54,302 --> 00:27:55,052
- Thank you.
392
00:27:55,136 --> 00:27:58,014
(children yelling)
393
00:28:00,975 --> 00:28:02,476
Stop it!
394
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,270
- [Children] Crybaby!
395
00:28:04,353 --> 00:28:05,646
- Stop it!
396
00:28:05,730 --> 00:28:07,481
- [Children] Crybaby!
397
00:28:07,565 --> 00:28:09,192
- You should be ashamed of yourself!
398
00:28:09,275 --> 00:28:12,278
- She started it! She's to blame!
399
00:28:15,198 --> 00:28:18,201
(stone clatters)
(Abigail gasping)
400
00:28:18,284 --> 00:28:19,744
- Digerie, come here!
401
00:28:22,663 --> 00:28:23,497
Who did it?
402
00:28:23,581 --> 00:28:24,665
- She did it!
403
00:28:25,917 --> 00:28:27,210
- You little heathen!
404
00:28:27,293 --> 00:28:29,879
I'll teach you!
(Pearl whimpers)
405
00:28:29,962 --> 00:28:31,714
- Look to your own children, mistress!
406
00:28:31,797 --> 00:28:33,216
My child was not to blame!
407
00:28:33,299 --> 00:28:34,675
- Yours is the blame.
408
00:28:34,759 --> 00:28:36,844
If you were an honest, God-fearing woman
409
00:28:36,928 --> 00:28:38,888
and brought your child
up in a proper manner,
410
00:28:38,971 --> 00:28:40,264
this would never happen.
411
00:28:40,348 --> 00:28:41,599
- Say what you will about me,
412
00:28:41,682 --> 00:28:43,100
I can tolerate your insults,
413
00:28:43,184 --> 00:28:45,645
but lay not a hand on my
child or you will rue it!
414
00:28:45,728 --> 00:28:48,105
- How dare you speak like that to me!
415
00:28:48,189 --> 00:28:50,066
If you taught your child its proper place,
416
00:28:50,149 --> 00:28:51,359
there would be no trouble
417
00:28:51,442 --> 00:28:52,735
because my children know better
418
00:28:52,818 --> 00:28:55,821
than to have anything
to do with your brat!
419
00:28:55,905 --> 00:28:57,865
[Mistress Abigail] You're
a disgrace to the colony,
420
00:28:57,949 --> 00:29:00,534
and your child will end just like you.
421
00:29:00,618 --> 00:29:03,246
It would be a blessing if
she were taken away from you
422
00:29:03,329 --> 00:29:05,331
and brought up in a Christian manner.
423
00:29:05,414 --> 00:29:06,207
- [Arthur] Silence, Mistress Abigail!
424
00:29:06,290 --> 00:29:07,708
- I was but telling this woman-
425
00:29:07,792 --> 00:29:09,293
- Silence, Mistress Abigail!
426
00:29:09,377 --> 00:29:10,336
You've said enough.
427
00:29:14,423 --> 00:29:16,717
- Thank you, Master Dimmesdale.
428
00:29:20,638 --> 00:29:21,472
Come, dear.
429
00:29:25,268 --> 00:29:28,604
(townspeople murmuring)
430
00:29:31,941 --> 00:29:33,985
- It is a strange child.
431
00:29:36,404 --> 00:29:38,572
It is easy to see her mother in her.
432
00:29:39,573 --> 00:29:44,578
I wonder if by studying the child,
433
00:29:44,954 --> 00:29:49,542
one could learn who the father might be.
434
00:29:51,794 --> 00:29:56,632
You take the burdens of your
flock too much to heart.
435
00:29:56,716 --> 00:29:58,551
Your health won't permit it.
436
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:00,970
- It's all right, Roger.
437
00:30:01,971 --> 00:30:02,930
I'll be all right.
438
00:30:04,682 --> 00:30:08,102
(townspeople chattering)
439
00:30:12,732 --> 00:30:17,737
- There, there, don't cry.
(Pearl sobbing)
440
00:30:18,154 --> 00:30:20,781
- Mother, why won't they
let me play with them?
441
00:30:20,865 --> 00:30:22,658
- Now, now.
442
00:30:23,617 --> 00:30:28,497
- But, Mother, I want
to play, too. (sobbing)
443
00:30:31,542 --> 00:30:34,003
- Pearl, dear, you love
your mother, don't you?
444
00:30:34,086 --> 00:30:36,005
- Of course, I do.
445
00:30:36,088 --> 00:30:38,132
- Well, you would not
want to go off and play
446
00:30:38,215 --> 00:30:39,925
and leave me all alone, would you?
447
00:30:40,885 --> 00:30:42,845
- Of course not.
- I like to play, too.
448
00:30:43,929 --> 00:30:45,431
- Do you?
449
00:30:45,514 --> 00:30:46,766
- Of course, I do.
450
00:30:46,849 --> 00:30:49,894
And we'll not let them play
with us, either, will we?
451
00:30:49,977 --> 00:30:53,230
- No! And we'll play soldiers, too!
452
00:30:53,314 --> 00:30:54,148
- Yes!
453
00:30:55,900 --> 00:30:57,693
- And I'll be the captain!
454
00:30:57,777 --> 00:30:58,944
- The captain!
455
00:31:00,946 --> 00:31:02,073
Now, let's see.
456
00:31:02,156 --> 00:31:03,657
Here's your sword.
457
00:31:04,492 --> 00:31:05,242
- Thank you.
458
00:31:05,326 --> 00:31:06,285
But where's yours?
459
00:31:09,246 --> 00:31:12,583
(both laughing)
460
00:31:12,666 --> 00:31:13,876
Boom!
461
00:31:13,959 --> 00:31:17,588
- [Pearl And Hester]
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
462
00:31:17,671 --> 00:31:20,091
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
463
00:31:22,635 --> 00:31:23,469
- Halt!
464
00:31:24,929 --> 00:31:26,680
Forward, march!
465
00:31:26,764 --> 00:31:30,059
- [Pearl And Hester] Boom,
boom, boom, boom, boom!
466
00:31:30,142 --> 00:31:32,895
(door knocking)
467
00:31:38,734 --> 00:31:40,778
- [Beadle] His Excellency
Governor Bellingham
468
00:31:40,861 --> 00:31:43,322
demands your immediate attendance.
469
00:31:43,406 --> 00:31:45,324
- Well, what does he want me for?
470
00:31:45,408 --> 00:31:46,826
- I do not know. Make haste.
471
00:31:48,702 --> 00:31:51,288
- I'll be there as soon
as I change my dress.
472
00:31:51,372 --> 00:31:52,289
- [Beadle] Very well.
473
00:31:54,125 --> 00:31:56,877
(door clunking)
474
00:32:06,262 --> 00:32:10,891
- Hester Prynne, the
point has been discussed
475
00:32:10,975 --> 00:32:13,686
whether we do well to entrust your child
476
00:32:13,769 --> 00:32:17,273
to the guidance of one who
has stumbled and fallen.
477
00:32:18,607 --> 00:32:20,276
The child needs to be instructed
478
00:32:20,359 --> 00:32:22,153
in the truths of Heaven and Earth.
479
00:32:24,530 --> 00:32:27,324
What can you do for her in this way?
480
00:32:32,163 --> 00:32:35,166
- I can teach my child what
I've learned from this.
481
00:32:35,249 --> 00:32:38,335
- Woman, it is because of the stain
482
00:32:38,419 --> 00:32:39,962
which that letter indicates,
483
00:32:40,045 --> 00:32:42,298
we would transfer the
child to other hands.
484
00:32:42,381 --> 00:32:45,050
- Nevertheless, this badge has taught me,
485
00:32:45,134 --> 00:32:46,594
it daily teaches me,
486
00:32:46,677 --> 00:32:50,014
lessons whereof my child
may be the wiser and better.
487
00:32:51,223 --> 00:32:54,185
- We shall judge for ourselves.
488
00:32:54,268 --> 00:32:56,812
Oh, Master Dimmesdale, examine this child
489
00:32:56,896 --> 00:32:58,731
and see whether she has such training
490
00:32:58,814 --> 00:33:00,566
as befits one of her age.
491
00:33:03,027 --> 00:33:03,986
- Come here, child.
492
00:33:07,948 --> 00:33:08,991
What's your name?
493
00:33:10,201 --> 00:33:11,035
- Pearl.
494
00:33:12,786 --> 00:33:14,997
- Can you tell me who created you?
495
00:33:23,130 --> 00:33:26,509
- Nobody. Mother found me on a rosebush.
496
00:33:26,592 --> 00:33:28,469
- This is awful!
497
00:33:28,552 --> 00:33:30,638
We need inquire no further.
498
00:33:30,721 --> 00:33:32,431
For the child's welfare,
499
00:33:32,515 --> 00:33:34,308
she shall be taken out of your charge.
500
00:33:34,391 --> 00:33:35,768
- No! No, no!
501
00:33:35,851 --> 00:33:37,019
She's mine!
502
00:33:37,102 --> 00:33:38,646
God gave her to me in place
503
00:33:38,729 --> 00:33:40,773
of all the things he's taken from me.
504
00:33:40,856 --> 00:33:43,734
She's my happiness,
and my punishment, too.
505
00:33:43,817 --> 00:33:45,236
You cannot take her.
506
00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:49,406
- My poor woman, the child
shall be well cared for.
507
00:33:49,490 --> 00:33:51,033
Far better than you can do it.
508
00:33:51,116 --> 00:33:54,453
- God gave her into my keeping,
and I will not give her up!
509
00:33:56,247 --> 00:33:58,040
You speak for me.
510
00:33:58,123 --> 00:34:00,751
You are my pastor, you know
me better than these men.
511
00:34:00,834 --> 00:34:02,545
You know what a mother's rights are.
512
00:34:02,628 --> 00:34:03,754
Speak for me!
513
00:34:03,837 --> 00:34:05,756
Don't let them take my baby away.
514
00:34:11,887 --> 00:34:13,889
- There is truth in what she says.
515
00:34:14,890 --> 00:34:16,767
God gave her the child,
516
00:34:16,850 --> 00:34:19,853
and there is a sacredness
in that relation.
517
00:34:19,937 --> 00:34:22,773
- Make that plain, Master Dimmesdale.
518
00:34:22,856 --> 00:34:26,652
- The Heavenly Father has
sent this child as a blessing,
519
00:34:27,861 --> 00:34:29,572
and also, as a punishment,
520
00:34:29,655 --> 00:34:32,825
a constant reminder of
her fall from grace.
521
00:34:34,493 --> 00:34:36,954
This child was meant above all things else
522
00:34:37,037 --> 00:34:39,081
to keep her mother's soul alive.
523
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,252
For Hester Prynne's sake, then,
524
00:34:43,335 --> 00:34:45,462
and no less for the poor child's sake,
525
00:34:45,546 --> 00:34:49,258
let us leave them as providence
has seen fit to place them.
526
00:35:01,145 --> 00:35:04,607
- You speak, my friend,
with a strange earnestness.
527
00:35:11,155 --> 00:35:13,866
- We will leave the
matter as it now stands,
528
00:35:13,949 --> 00:35:18,787
providing that you send the
child to Reverend Dimmesdale
529
00:35:18,871 --> 00:35:20,706
for proper Christian training.
530
00:35:21,874 --> 00:35:23,667
- It shall be done.
531
00:35:28,255 --> 00:35:32,009
- Bartholomew, wilt thou please go away.
532
00:35:32,092 --> 00:35:34,345
- Ingrate! I am but trying to aid thee.
533
00:35:35,387 --> 00:35:38,182
- I've done my courting
these past five years
534
00:35:38,265 --> 00:35:42,019
without thy aid, and I do not need it now.
535
00:35:42,102 --> 00:35:45,272
- Hmm. Five years and no progress.
536
00:35:45,356 --> 00:35:48,067
- 'Tis well nigh
impossible to court a woman
537
00:35:48,150 --> 00:35:50,611
with her children always present.
538
00:35:50,694 --> 00:35:52,071
- A mere trifle.
539
00:35:53,197 --> 00:35:54,281
- Sayest thou.
540
00:35:54,365 --> 00:35:55,741
- Sayest I.
541
00:36:01,288 --> 00:36:02,998
If thou wouldst but let me speak for thee,
542
00:36:03,082 --> 00:36:05,542
the bands will be posted on the morrow.
543
00:36:06,627 --> 00:36:07,836
- Of a certainty?
544
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,421
- Of a certainty.
545
00:36:11,340 --> 00:36:14,385
Remember, I will be the spokesman.
546
00:36:14,468 --> 00:36:16,679
- Thou art a friend, indeed.
547
00:36:18,514 --> 00:36:21,975
(door knocking)
548
00:36:22,059 --> 00:36:23,352
- Look to your appearance.
549
00:36:29,316 --> 00:36:30,651
(door clicking)
550
00:36:30,734 --> 00:36:33,529
- Oh, thank you, Master Bartholomew.
551
00:36:36,365 --> 00:36:37,908
Will you come in?
552
00:36:42,496 --> 00:36:45,082
- Thou art a great aid, indeed.
553
00:36:46,500 --> 00:36:47,626
- A mere trifle.
554
00:36:52,923 --> 00:36:56,677
(clears throat) Mistress Crakstone,
555
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,930
I have come on an affair of the heart.
556
00:37:06,437 --> 00:37:08,939
- Won't you sit down, Master Bartholomew?
557
00:37:26,874 --> 00:37:28,041
- Abigail.
558
00:37:32,296 --> 00:37:33,881
For well nigh five years...
559
00:37:33,964 --> 00:37:36,717
(door clicking)
560
00:37:38,594 --> 00:37:41,597
(children giggling)
561
00:37:43,557 --> 00:37:46,226
- Digerie, Humility, come here.
562
00:37:49,938 --> 00:37:51,106
Study your catechism.
563
00:38:01,158 --> 00:38:03,660
- For five years, a man has, uh...
564
00:38:27,810 --> 00:38:29,853
- A rare coincidence.
565
00:38:29,937 --> 00:38:31,939
'Tis the self-same courting trumpet,
566
00:38:32,022 --> 00:38:36,026
my first husband used when
he asked me to marry him.
567
00:38:49,081 --> 00:38:53,001
(Bartholomew speaking faintly)
568
00:38:55,504 --> 00:38:58,507
(children giggling)
569
00:39:00,676 --> 00:39:02,219
- What did you say?
570
00:39:02,302 --> 00:39:04,471
- I said, "For well nigh five years,
571
00:39:04,555 --> 00:39:06,849
"someone has loved thee dearly."
572
00:39:08,559 --> 00:39:10,435
- Excellent. Proceed.
573
00:39:13,897 --> 00:39:17,985
(Bartholomew speaking faintly)
574
00:39:18,068 --> 00:39:20,529
- Oh, Master Bartholomew.
575
00:39:22,990 --> 00:39:25,158
- I said, "He is no longer content
576
00:39:25,242 --> 00:39:27,286
"to worship thee in silence."
577
00:39:28,787 --> 00:39:30,372
- What did she say?
578
00:39:31,248 --> 00:39:33,667
- (chuckles) She said,
"Oh, Master Bartholomew."
579
00:39:35,711 --> 00:39:38,672
(Bartholomew speaking faintly)
580
00:39:38,755 --> 00:39:42,342
(Abigail speaking faintly)
581
00:39:43,594 --> 00:39:46,471
I said, "Has he your
permission to speak to you
582
00:39:46,555 --> 00:39:48,682
"on a question that is
close to his heart?"
583
00:39:50,559 --> 00:39:52,269
- What did she say?
584
00:39:52,352 --> 00:39:54,313
- She said, "Speak with an open heart."
585
00:39:57,524 --> 00:39:58,358
Here.
586
00:40:07,367 --> 00:40:12,247
- Will you marry me?
587
00:40:12,331 --> 00:40:13,290
- [Abigail] No!
588
00:40:13,373 --> 00:40:14,875
(courting trumpet clatters)
589
00:40:14,958 --> 00:40:16,376
- She said, "No!"
590
00:40:35,896 --> 00:40:37,439
- [Roger] Good day, gentlemen.
591
00:40:37,522 --> 00:40:38,482
- Good day, Doctor.
592
00:40:38,565 --> 00:40:39,942
I see you've been gathering herbs.
593
00:40:40,025 --> 00:40:42,069
- [Roger] Yes, to make
medicine for Master Dimmesdale.
594
00:40:42,152 --> 00:40:45,072
- Poor man, people do say
he is much too saintly
595
00:40:45,155 --> 00:40:46,740
to remain long on this earth.
596
00:40:46,823 --> 00:40:47,783
How is he today?
597
00:40:47,866 --> 00:40:49,576
- As well as could be expected.
598
00:40:52,663 --> 00:40:54,665
- 'Tis a blessing they dwell together.
599
00:40:54,748 --> 00:40:58,669
Only his constant attention
sustains the minister's health.
600
00:40:58,752 --> 00:41:01,046
- A touching devotion.
601
00:41:01,129 --> 00:41:04,049
But what is more noble
than a loyal friend?
602
00:41:04,132 --> 00:41:07,427
- Aye! What is more no...
603
00:41:11,890 --> 00:41:14,810
(flowers thudding)
604
00:41:30,283 --> 00:41:31,785
- [Arthur] Is that you, Roger?
605
00:41:43,422 --> 00:41:45,549
- [Roger] How are you
feeling this afternoon?
606
00:41:45,632 --> 00:41:46,717
- No better.
607
00:41:47,843 --> 00:41:49,219
Ah, no worse.
608
00:41:49,302 --> 00:41:51,304
- Ah, have patience, my friend.
609
00:41:53,432 --> 00:41:55,767
- What a peculiar-looking herb.
610
00:41:55,851 --> 00:41:57,936
Where did you find it?
611
00:41:58,020 --> 00:41:59,271
- In the graveyard,
612
00:42:00,230 --> 00:42:03,859
on a grave that had no marker
to commemorate the dead man,
613
00:42:04,818 --> 00:42:06,820
save these dismal leaves.
614
00:42:10,657 --> 00:42:12,617
Perhaps it grew from his power
615
00:42:13,869 --> 00:42:16,705
[Roger] and carries some hideous secret
616
00:42:16,788 --> 00:42:20,125
which he had done better to
confess during his lifetime.
617
00:42:21,209 --> 00:42:25,672
- Perhaps he earnestly
desired it, but could not.
618
00:42:25,756 --> 00:42:27,340
- [Roger] Why not?
619
00:42:29,468 --> 00:42:33,180
- Some men are kept silent
by their very natures.
620
00:42:33,263 --> 00:42:36,975
They shrink from showing
their sins to the eyes of men.
621
00:42:37,059 --> 00:42:39,561
- Even that is better than to suffer
622
00:42:39,644 --> 00:42:42,606
the hellish tortures
of a guilty conscience.
623
00:42:50,906 --> 00:42:52,199
- Maybe so.
624
00:42:56,161 --> 00:43:01,166
- Arthur, as one in charge
of your physical well-being,
625
00:43:01,958 --> 00:43:04,711
have all your ills been
laid fairly open to me?
626
00:43:06,463 --> 00:43:08,090
- What do you mean?
627
00:43:08,173 --> 00:43:09,674
Why do you ask?
628
00:43:09,758 --> 00:43:13,512
- A bodily sickness is often but a symptom
629
00:43:13,595 --> 00:43:15,931
of a spiritual alarm.
630
00:43:16,807 --> 00:43:20,435
If you would have me heal the bodily evil,
631
00:43:20,519 --> 00:43:23,230
you must firstly open
the trouble in your soul.
632
00:43:24,773 --> 00:43:26,858
- If it be the soul's disease
633
00:43:26,942 --> 00:43:29,653
then I commit myself to the
one physician of the soul,
634
00:43:31,571 --> 00:43:32,405
not to you.
635
00:43:38,787 --> 00:43:40,580
- I am sorry.
636
00:43:40,664 --> 00:43:42,082
Forgive me, Arthur.
637
00:43:46,461 --> 00:43:50,257
There is a woman who
has none of the misery
638
00:43:51,133 --> 00:43:53,093
of a hidden sinfulness.
639
00:43:54,553 --> 00:43:56,805
Is she less miserable, think you,
640
00:43:58,140 --> 00:43:59,975
for the scarlet letter on her bosom?
641
00:44:03,061 --> 00:44:04,312
- I do believe it.
642
00:44:08,233 --> 00:44:09,943
- Is Master Dimmesdale at home?
643
00:44:10,026 --> 00:44:10,777
- Yes.
644
00:44:10,861 --> 00:44:14,114
- I've brought little Pearl
for her lesson in catechism.
645
00:44:20,787 --> 00:44:23,540
(door slamming)
646
00:44:33,341 --> 00:44:34,217
(door knocking)
647
00:44:34,301 --> 00:44:35,635
- Master Dimmesdale.
648
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:36,553
- Yes?
649
00:44:37,846 --> 00:44:40,849
- Mistress Prynne has brought
the child for her lesson.
650
00:44:40,932 --> 00:44:42,184
- Oh, thank you, Abigail.
651
00:44:47,856 --> 00:44:50,609
- I'll leave you with your pupil.
652
00:45:06,041 --> 00:45:08,877
- You want to please
your mother, do you not?
653
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,087
- Yes, Master Dimmesdale.
654
00:45:23,266 --> 00:45:24,684
- Come to me, my child.
655
00:45:31,066 --> 00:45:33,818
Now pay heed to what I teach you.
656
00:45:33,902 --> 00:45:35,820
- Yes, Master Dimmesdale.
657
00:45:35,904 --> 00:45:38,490
- God is the Heavenly Father.
658
00:45:38,573 --> 00:45:40,242
He's the father of all children.
659
00:45:41,243 --> 00:45:43,161
- But they have a real father.
660
00:45:43,245 --> 00:45:47,040
I want one, too.
661
00:45:48,041 --> 00:45:51,711
- If-If it will make
you feel any happier,
662
00:45:52,587 --> 00:45:54,631
think of me as your father.
663
00:45:59,219 --> 00:46:01,972
I am as a father to all my flock.
664
00:46:05,058 --> 00:46:07,477
Do you know your letters?
665
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,105
- [Pearl] I know that one.
666
00:46:10,188 --> 00:46:11,731
- What is it?
667
00:46:11,815 --> 00:46:13,358
- It's the great letter A.
668
00:46:13,441 --> 00:46:15,193
- How do you know?
669
00:46:15,277 --> 00:46:18,363
- 'Cause Mother always wears it here.
670
00:46:28,290 --> 00:46:31,459
"Against thee, thee only, have I sinned
671
00:46:31,543 --> 00:46:33,712
"and done this evil in thy sight,
672
00:46:33,795 --> 00:46:36,798
"that thou mightst be
justified when thou speak
673
00:46:36,881 --> 00:46:38,883
"and be clear when thou judge.
674
00:46:38,967 --> 00:46:42,554
"Behold, thou desirest
truth in the inward part,
675
00:46:42,637 --> 00:46:43,805
"and in the hidden part
676
00:46:43,888 --> 00:46:47,183
"thou shalt make me to know thy wisdom.
677
00:46:47,267 --> 00:46:49,436
"Behold, I was shapen in iniquity,
678
00:46:49,519 --> 00:46:51,938
"and in sin did my mother conceive me.
679
00:46:52,856 --> 00:46:55,859
"Purge me with hyssop,
and I shall be clean.
680
00:46:55,942 --> 00:46:59,070
"Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
681
00:46:59,154 --> 00:47:03,825
"Hide thy face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
682
00:47:03,908 --> 00:47:06,077
"Create in me a clean heart, O God,
683
00:47:06,161 --> 00:47:09,122
"and renew a right spirit within me.
684
00:47:09,205 --> 00:47:10,832
"Cast me not away from thy presence
685
00:47:10,915 --> 00:47:14,252
and take not the Holy Spirit from me.
686
00:47:14,336 --> 00:47:16,463
"Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation-
687
00:47:16,546 --> 00:47:17,339
- Amen!
688
00:47:17,422 --> 00:47:19,883
- [Arthur] "And uphold
me with thy free spirit.
689
00:47:20,842 --> 00:47:23,762
"Then will I teach transgressors thy way
690
00:47:23,845 --> 00:47:27,057
"and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
691
00:47:27,140 --> 00:47:29,476
"Deliver me my blood guiltiness, O God,
692
00:47:29,559 --> 00:47:31,895
"and thou God of my salvation,
693
00:47:31,978 --> 00:47:34,606
"and my tongue shall sing
aloud of thy righteousness.
694
00:47:35,523 --> 00:47:37,484
"O Lord, open thou my lips
695
00:47:37,567 --> 00:47:40,570
"and my mouth shall show forth thy praise,
696
00:47:40,653 --> 00:47:43,948
"for thou desireth not
sacrifice; else would I give I-"
697
00:47:44,032 --> 00:47:45,200
- I was not asleep.
698
00:47:45,283 --> 00:47:46,534
- Thine eyes were closed.
699
00:47:46,618 --> 00:47:48,495
- I was but meditating.
700
00:47:48,578 --> 00:47:50,705
- And just how thou
knoweth the way to heaven,
701
00:47:50,789 --> 00:47:53,416
so well thou could find
it with thine eyes closed?
702
00:47:55,627 --> 00:47:58,421
- "Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion.
703
00:47:58,505 --> 00:48:00,757
"Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
704
00:48:01,883 --> 00:48:03,426
"Then shalt thou be pleased
705
00:48:03,510 --> 00:48:06,054
"with the sacrifices of righteousness,
706
00:48:06,137 --> 00:48:08,598
"with burnt offering and
whole burnt offering,
707
00:48:08,681 --> 00:48:11,559
"then shall they offer
bullocks upon thine altar."
708
00:48:16,189 --> 00:48:19,150
There is one who is ill
and not with us this day.
709
00:48:20,193 --> 00:48:24,739
So let us pray that Sister
Allerton may soon be well.
710
00:48:32,205 --> 00:48:35,333
Heavenly Father, deliver
thy child who is ill
711
00:48:35,417 --> 00:48:36,709
and not with us this day.
712
00:48:38,002 --> 00:48:40,547
If it be thy will to take one of us,
713
00:48:42,048 --> 00:48:42,924
take me,
714
00:48:44,342 --> 00:48:47,178
I who wear the black
garments of the priesthood
715
00:48:47,262 --> 00:48:49,389
am utterly a pollution and a lie.
716
00:48:51,141 --> 00:48:53,184
Spare this righteous woman and take me,
717
00:48:53,268 --> 00:48:57,939
the vilest of sinners and
an abomination in thy sight.
718
00:48:59,107 --> 00:49:02,694
Let the words of my mouth be
acceptable unto thee, oh, God,
719
00:49:03,611 --> 00:49:05,405
my strength and my redeemer.
720
00:49:08,700 --> 00:49:10,535
- [Congregation] Amen.
721
00:49:34,267 --> 00:49:36,436
- An inspired sermon.
722
00:49:36,519 --> 00:49:37,520
- A godly youth.
723
00:49:37,604 --> 00:49:39,147
- He is, indeed, a saint.
724
00:49:39,230 --> 00:49:41,274
- God cannot refuse his prayers.
725
00:49:41,357 --> 00:49:43,526
Mistress Allerton must soon be well.
726
00:49:43,610 --> 00:49:45,361
- Yes, indeed.
- Good day.
727
00:49:45,445 --> 00:49:47,280
- Good day.
- Good day.
728
00:49:48,281 --> 00:49:50,700
- If our good pastor
beholds such sinfulness
729
00:49:50,783 --> 00:49:52,785
in his own white soul,
730
00:49:52,869 --> 00:49:56,080
what horrid spectacle
would he see in thine?
731
00:49:57,582 --> 00:49:58,500
- Or thine.
732
00:50:05,340 --> 00:50:08,927
(townspeople chatter)
733
00:50:09,010 --> 00:50:10,136
- Mother?
734
00:50:10,220 --> 00:50:11,763
- Yes, dear?
735
00:50:11,846 --> 00:50:14,599
- Mother, may I tell Mistress Allerton
736
00:50:14,682 --> 00:50:16,809
the minister prayed for her?
737
00:50:16,893 --> 00:50:18,394
- Yes, dear, we'll tell her tonight.
738
00:50:18,478 --> 00:50:19,896
It will make her very happy.
739
00:50:25,318 --> 00:50:28,238
(thunder rumbling)
740
00:50:45,004 --> 00:50:47,257
- This one would be nice.
741
00:50:47,340 --> 00:50:49,926
Better leave before it's dark.
742
00:50:50,009 --> 00:50:52,470
- I'll not leave you alone.
743
00:50:52,554 --> 00:50:54,722
- It won't be for long.
744
00:50:54,806 --> 00:50:57,141
The doctor will soon be here.
745
00:50:57,225 --> 00:50:58,643
- Well, I'll wait till he comes.
746
00:50:58,726 --> 00:51:02,063
Here, drink this. It'll make you strong.
747
00:51:09,195 --> 00:51:12,282
- Hester, I have greatly wronged you.
748
00:51:13,700 --> 00:51:15,952
Will you forgive me?
749
00:51:16,035 --> 00:51:19,539
- Oh, hush.
750
00:51:19,622 --> 00:51:22,542
(thunder rumbling)
751
00:51:38,141 --> 00:51:41,644
- Ah, you're looking better this evening.
752
00:51:41,728 --> 00:51:45,732
Our minister's prayers are
beginning to bear fruit.
753
00:51:45,815 --> 00:51:49,485
- With his prayers, and
Hester Prynne's broth,
754
00:51:50,403 --> 00:51:52,280
it's no miracle I'll recover.
755
00:51:58,953 --> 00:51:59,787
- Come on.
756
00:52:02,624 --> 00:52:06,127
- I hear good tidings of you on all hands.
757
00:52:06,210 --> 00:52:08,338
Only yesterday, the council was debating
758
00:52:08,421 --> 00:52:09,839
as to whether the scarlet letter
759
00:52:09,922 --> 00:52:11,883
should be taken off your bosom.
760
00:52:11,966 --> 00:52:13,217
- Were I worthy to be rid of it,
761
00:52:13,301 --> 00:52:14,927
it would fall off of its own nature.
762
00:52:15,011 --> 00:52:17,764
- Well, if it suits you
better then wear it.
763
00:52:17,847 --> 00:52:20,767
(thunder rumbling)
764
00:52:22,393 --> 00:52:24,062
- [Hester] Goodnight, Mistress Allerton.
765
00:52:24,145 --> 00:52:25,355
I will see you tomorrow.
766
00:52:26,189 --> 00:52:28,941
- Goodnight, Mistress Prynne.
767
00:52:29,025 --> 00:52:31,778
(door clicking)
768
00:52:33,571 --> 00:52:36,407
- We have treated her most unkindly.
769
00:52:38,242 --> 00:52:43,206
No one ever went near her,
save Master Dimmesdale,
770
00:52:44,374 --> 00:52:48,252
and he only went out of duty to her soul.
771
00:52:51,714 --> 00:52:55,760
- Yes, I am convinced
daily he has done much
772
00:52:55,843 --> 00:52:58,930
for her soul.
773
00:52:59,013 --> 00:53:02,141
- Nine o'clock and all's well!
774
00:53:06,646 --> 00:53:08,064
Lights out!
775
00:53:10,066 --> 00:53:11,317
Lights out!
776
00:53:23,079 --> 00:53:27,250
Nine o'clock and all's well!
777
00:53:42,724 --> 00:53:45,643
(thunder crashing)
778
00:54:08,541 --> 00:54:09,417
(thunder crashing)
779
00:54:09,500 --> 00:54:13,004
- Heavenly Father, behold in the incident,
780
00:54:14,005 --> 00:54:16,257
I have sinned before
heaven and in thy sight.
781
00:54:21,512 --> 00:54:22,805
[Arthur] Hester.
782
00:54:23,848 --> 00:54:27,143
Hester Prynne, is that you?
783
00:54:28,144 --> 00:54:29,645
Hester Prynne, is it you?
784
00:54:31,314 --> 00:54:32,857
- Yes.
- Come up.
785
00:54:33,900 --> 00:54:34,734
Come here.
786
00:54:37,653 --> 00:54:38,488
Come
787
00:54:41,574 --> 00:54:46,579
You have both been here
before, but I was not with you.
788
00:54:46,662 --> 00:54:49,874
- Arthur, have you not found peace?
789
00:54:49,957 --> 00:54:51,459
- No, nothing but despair.
790
00:54:51,542 --> 00:54:52,877
- But the people reverence you.
791
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,921
Does that bring you no comfort?
792
00:54:55,004 --> 00:54:56,297
- More misery.
793
00:54:56,380 --> 00:54:58,382
When I look inward
794
00:54:58,466 --> 00:55:01,469
and see the black reality
of what they idolize,
795
00:55:02,386 --> 00:55:05,014
I would their reverence would
turn to scorn, into hatred!
796
00:55:05,097 --> 00:55:06,766
- You wrong yourself.
797
00:55:06,849 --> 00:55:09,852
Your sin is left behind you long ago.
798
00:55:09,936 --> 00:55:12,855
(thunder crashing)
799
00:55:15,024 --> 00:55:16,776
- Look! The letter A!
800
00:55:18,736 --> 00:55:20,947
Even the heavens proclaim my guilt.
801
00:55:21,030 --> 00:55:23,366
- Please, it's a storm.
802
00:55:23,449 --> 00:55:26,035
Come, Arthur, come, you
should not stand here.
803
00:55:27,036 --> 00:55:28,913
- No! No, no!
804
00:55:28,996 --> 00:55:31,707
Now I stand where I should've
stood five years ago,
805
00:55:33,793 --> 00:55:34,877
by your side!
806
00:55:39,590 --> 00:55:41,133
Who's there?
807
00:55:41,217 --> 00:55:43,594
- [Roger] Your good friend
Roger Chillingworth.
808
00:55:45,763 --> 00:55:47,139
- How did you know I was here?
809
00:55:47,223 --> 00:55:49,183
- I knew nothing of the matter.
810
00:55:49,267 --> 00:55:52,186
I was returning from the
bedside of Mistress Allerton.
811
00:56:02,655 --> 00:56:04,782
My good friend, surely the Lord's work
812
00:56:04,866 --> 00:56:07,952
does not demand that
one even so pious as you
813
00:56:08,035 --> 00:56:10,830
could attend his flock at
such an unseemly hour as this.
814
00:56:12,290 --> 00:56:13,875
You must rest,
815
00:56:13,958 --> 00:56:17,211
else these night whimsies
will draw upon you.
816
00:56:17,295 --> 00:56:19,422
Come, let me take you home.
817
00:56:19,505 --> 00:56:22,425
(thunder rumbling)
818
00:56:24,260 --> 00:56:27,346
- [Beadle] 10 o'clock and all's well!
819
00:56:29,974 --> 00:56:32,727
(rain pattering)
820
00:56:37,064 --> 00:56:38,482
- Good day, Mistress Prynne.
821
00:56:39,650 --> 00:56:40,902
You sent for me?
822
00:56:40,985 --> 00:56:41,819
- Yes.
823
00:56:46,282 --> 00:56:48,784
Pearl, dear, run out and play.
824
00:56:48,868 --> 00:56:51,203
- [Pearl] All right, Mother.
825
00:56:56,792 --> 00:56:58,419
- So, Mistress Hester
826
00:56:59,545 --> 00:57:02,715
has a word for old Roger Chillingworth.
827
00:57:03,883 --> 00:57:06,260
[Roger] Speak freely and I will answer.
828
00:57:07,261 --> 00:57:10,723
- Five years ago, you
made me pledge secrecy
829
00:57:10,806 --> 00:57:13,184
to the fact that you were my husband.
830
00:57:13,267 --> 00:57:15,519
In doing so, I was false to the only man
831
00:57:15,603 --> 00:57:17,355
to whom I should've been true.
832
00:57:18,773 --> 00:57:20,149
- What choice had you?
833
00:57:21,025 --> 00:57:23,694
My finger pointed at this man
834
00:57:23,778 --> 00:57:27,490
would have hurled him from
his pulpit into a dungeon.
835
00:57:27,573 --> 00:57:29,158
- Better it had been so.
836
00:57:30,493 --> 00:57:33,287
- What evil have I done the man?
837
00:57:33,371 --> 00:57:36,749
That he lives at all is owing to me.
838
00:57:36,832 --> 00:57:40,044
- You keep him alive only
to feed your vengeance!
839
00:57:40,127 --> 00:57:42,463
You burrow and rankle in his heart.
840
00:57:42,546 --> 00:57:45,132
You cause him to die daily a living death,
841
00:57:45,216 --> 00:57:47,927
and, still, he knows you not.
842
00:57:48,803 --> 00:57:51,722
[Hester] Better he had died at once.
843
00:57:51,806 --> 00:57:53,599
Have you not tortured him enough?
844
00:57:54,517 --> 00:57:56,852
- No! No!
845
00:57:58,145 --> 00:58:00,523
I live only for that.
846
00:58:00,606 --> 00:58:02,274
- Be once more human.
847
00:58:02,358 --> 00:58:04,485
You have it at your will to pardon,
848
00:58:04,568 --> 00:58:06,404
do not reject that privilege.
849
00:58:07,279 --> 00:58:11,117
- No, Hester, never.
850
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,328
- Very well, do what you will.
851
00:58:15,579 --> 00:58:18,082
But he shall know you in your true like.
852
00:58:26,966 --> 00:58:29,301
- May I not do something for you?
853
00:58:30,636 --> 00:58:31,470
- No, no.
854
00:58:32,513 --> 00:58:33,472
I'll be all right.
855
00:58:37,685 --> 00:58:39,645
Just going for my walk.
856
00:58:57,413 --> 00:58:59,123
- [Bartholomew] Mistress Crakstone.
857
00:58:59,206 --> 00:59:00,041
- Oh!
858
00:59:01,584 --> 00:59:02,960
- I'm seeking Master Sampson.
859
00:59:03,044 --> 00:59:04,462
He said he would be here.
860
00:59:04,545 --> 00:59:06,464
- Won't you sit down and wait for him?
861
00:59:18,017 --> 00:59:18,851
Oh!
862
00:59:22,605 --> 00:59:23,355
- What is this?
863
00:59:23,439 --> 00:59:25,107
- [Bartholomew] 'Tis nothing at all.
864
00:59:25,191 --> 00:59:26,233
- Nothing at all?
865
00:59:26,317 --> 00:59:28,569
My best friend and the woman I love.
866
00:59:28,652 --> 00:59:31,280
For shame, thou a snake in the grass!
867
00:59:31,363 --> 00:59:33,282
- Oh, be calm, Sampson, I can explain.
868
00:59:33,365 --> 00:59:34,867
- There is naught to explain!
869
00:59:34,950 --> 00:59:36,827
You know full well it is a sin
870
00:59:36,911 --> 00:59:41,415
for a man to behold a
woman's nether garments.
871
00:59:41,499 --> 00:59:42,249
- Sampson.
872
00:59:42,333 --> 00:59:45,503
- Quiet, woman, thou hast been dishonored.
873
00:59:45,586 --> 00:59:48,089
If thou hast one spark of manhood in thee,
874
00:59:48,172 --> 00:59:50,382
thou wilt marry this woman.
875
00:59:50,466 --> 00:59:54,053
- Aye, 'twould be the
honorable thing to do.
876
00:59:54,136 --> 00:59:56,889
- But thou lovest her, thou marry her.
877
00:59:56,972 --> 01:00:00,059
- After thou hast seen her nether garment?
878
01:00:01,602 --> 01:00:02,436
- Oh.
879
01:00:08,776 --> 01:00:10,277
But thou did see them also.
880
01:00:12,154 --> 01:00:13,072
- So I did.
881
01:00:14,490 --> 01:00:17,076
- But Master Bartholomew
did see them first.
882
01:00:17,159 --> 01:00:17,993
- True.
883
01:00:20,412 --> 01:00:22,123
Thou must marry the woman.
884
01:00:22,206 --> 01:00:25,334
I shall ask the Reverend
Dimmesdale to post the bands.
885
01:00:33,217 --> 01:00:35,010
- You will have to wait for him.
886
01:00:35,094 --> 01:00:36,887
He's gone for his walk in the woods.
887
01:00:43,519 --> 01:00:47,523
(melancholic orchestral music)
888
01:00:58,033 --> 01:00:59,368
- Arthur!
889
01:00:59,451 --> 01:01:00,953
Arthur Dimmesdale!
890
01:01:04,123 --> 01:01:05,291
I've been looking for you.
891
01:01:05,374 --> 01:01:07,668
Pearl. Pearl, dear, don't go too far.
892
01:01:07,751 --> 01:01:08,586
- I won't.
893
01:01:12,882 --> 01:01:13,716
- Hester.
894
01:01:16,093 --> 01:01:17,386
Hester, you little know
895
01:01:17,469 --> 01:01:19,430
what a relief it is to see you alone.
896
01:01:20,723 --> 01:01:24,643
Had I but one friend, or even an enemy,
897
01:01:24,727 --> 01:01:26,103
who knew me for what I am,
898
01:01:28,063 --> 01:01:30,274
my soul might keep itself alive.
899
01:01:30,357 --> 01:01:31,984
- But I am that friend, Arthur.
900
01:01:34,695 --> 01:01:37,573
And you have such an enemy,
under the same roof with you.
901
01:01:38,741 --> 01:01:40,326
- An enemy under the same roof?
902
01:01:41,410 --> 01:01:43,162
What do you mean?
903
01:01:43,245 --> 01:01:45,164
- Oh, Arthur, forgive me.
904
01:01:46,123 --> 01:01:48,709
Truth was the one virtue
to which I held fast,
905
01:01:48,792 --> 01:01:51,503
except when your good name was questioned,
906
01:01:51,587 --> 01:01:53,714
then I consented to deception.
907
01:01:56,425 --> 01:01:57,676
I must tell you.
908
01:01:59,887 --> 01:02:04,350
That old man, Roger
Chillingworth, was my husband.
909
01:02:04,433 --> 01:02:09,188
(melancholic orchestral music continues)
910
01:02:10,898 --> 01:02:12,483
- I might've known.
911
01:02:13,525 --> 01:02:16,695
The secret was told me in the
natural recoil of my heart.
912
01:02:19,281 --> 01:02:23,786
(gentle thoughtful orchestral music)
913
01:02:36,048 --> 01:02:38,801
(water splashing)
914
01:02:38,884 --> 01:02:40,469
(birds chirping)
915
01:02:40,552 --> 01:02:42,805
Why didn't you tell me this before?
916
01:02:42,888 --> 01:02:44,431
- He pledged me to silence.
917
01:02:47,601 --> 01:02:50,771
- Hester, I can bear no more. (sobbing)
918
01:02:50,854 --> 01:02:54,358
You're strong, Hester,
advise me what to do.
919
01:02:55,401 --> 01:02:57,486
- You must dwell no longer with this man.
920
01:02:57,569 --> 01:02:59,029
- How can I avoid it?
921
01:03:01,156 --> 01:03:04,285
- Does the universe lie
within compass of yonder town?
922
01:03:04,368 --> 01:03:06,328
There's the broad pathway of the sea.
923
01:03:06,412 --> 01:03:08,831
It brought you here, it
will bear you back again.
924
01:03:08,914 --> 01:03:12,001
Begin life anew, there's happiness beyond.
925
01:03:12,084 --> 01:03:13,335
- No, it cannot be.
926
01:03:14,378 --> 01:03:17,381
I have not the courage to venture
into a strange land alone.
927
01:03:21,885 --> 01:03:23,512
- You shall not go alone.
928
01:03:24,388 --> 01:03:25,514
- Hester!
929
01:03:25,597 --> 01:03:27,891
- Even now, even now there's
a vessel in the harbor.
930
01:03:27,975 --> 01:03:29,435
It sails the day after election.
931
01:03:29,518 --> 01:03:31,562
I will secretly engage passage.
932
01:03:31,645 --> 01:03:33,981
- Hester, this is already the new life!
933
01:03:35,357 --> 01:03:37,401
Why didn't we think of it sooner?
934
01:03:37,484 --> 01:03:39,528
- Let us not look back. The past is gone.
935
01:03:40,988 --> 01:03:45,326
(gentle majestic orchestral music)
936
01:03:46,452 --> 01:03:49,872
(townspeople chattering)
937
01:03:52,458 --> 01:03:56,086
- Hey, boys, we're gonna
drink to the governor.
938
01:03:56,170 --> 01:03:58,922
(men chattering)
939
01:04:02,718 --> 01:04:06,972
Hey, Aaron, bring a small tankard of ale.
940
01:04:07,056 --> 01:04:08,223
- [Aaron] Yes, sir!
941
01:04:08,307 --> 01:04:11,060
(footsteps clumping)
942
01:04:11,143 --> 01:04:15,189
- Will you, uh, gentlemen
join us in a drink?
943
01:04:15,272 --> 01:04:18,275
- Nay, I am a most unhappy man.
944
01:04:18,359 --> 01:04:20,944
- What? On election day?
945
01:04:21,028 --> 01:04:24,615
Why, this is a time for
merrymaking. (chuckles)
946
01:04:24,698 --> 01:04:25,783
- Not for me.
947
01:04:26,784 --> 01:04:28,369
- He is soon to be married.
948
01:04:28,452 --> 01:04:32,122
- Oh, that's a mere trifle! (laughs)
949
01:04:32,206 --> 01:04:35,376
Why, I've got a wife in every port!
950
01:04:36,627 --> 01:04:40,172
- Aye, but thou art a ship's master
951
01:04:40,255 --> 01:04:42,132
and well-accustomed to stormy weather.
952
01:04:42,216 --> 01:04:45,552
- (laughs) Well put, my boy. Well put.
953
01:04:45,636 --> 01:04:48,514
We'll have another drink. (laughs)
954
01:04:55,771 --> 01:04:56,605
- Ah-ah.
955
01:04:57,898 --> 01:05:01,485
You've had enough. Mistress
Abigail will be angry.
956
01:05:02,444 --> 01:05:04,279
- (fingers clicking) That's for Abigail.
957
01:05:04,363 --> 01:05:06,698
I will be master in my own house.
958
01:05:06,782 --> 01:05:08,450
- Sayest thou.
959
01:05:08,534 --> 01:05:11,453
- Sayest I.
960
01:05:11,537 --> 01:05:12,287
- Mother wants you!
961
01:05:12,371 --> 01:05:13,831
And if you don't come immediately,
962
01:05:13,914 --> 01:05:15,374
she will come and fetch you!
963
01:05:20,045 --> 01:05:25,050
- (laughing) Here's to the bride!
964
01:05:34,268 --> 01:05:37,688
(townspeople chattering)
965
01:05:55,247 --> 01:05:58,375
- Mother, what are all the
people doing here at the square?
966
01:05:58,459 --> 01:06:00,377
- They're waiting to
see the procession pass.
967
01:06:00,461 --> 01:06:03,589
There'll be soldiers marching and drums.
968
01:06:03,672 --> 01:06:06,383
(men chattering)
969
01:06:08,010 --> 01:06:09,386
- Well!
970
01:06:09,470 --> 01:06:12,556
Good day, mistress. I've been seeking you!
971
01:06:12,639 --> 01:06:14,808
- What is it, Captain?
972
01:06:14,892 --> 01:06:17,478
- Everything is in readiness.
973
01:06:17,561 --> 01:06:22,483
Cabin for you, the little girl,
and one for the gentleman.
974
01:06:23,775 --> 01:06:24,568
- We shall be there.
975
01:06:24,651 --> 01:06:26,820
- Yes, we're gonna sail on the noontide,
976
01:06:26,904 --> 01:06:30,240
and it should be a healthy
voyage with the ship's surgeon
977
01:06:30,324 --> 01:06:33,243
and this other doctor on voyage with us.
978
01:06:33,327 --> 01:06:35,746
- Have you another passenger?
979
01:06:35,829 --> 01:06:37,998
- Yes, I supposed you knew.
980
01:06:38,081 --> 01:06:41,084
He said he was one of your party.
981
01:06:41,168 --> 01:06:42,127
Chillingworth's the name.
982
01:06:42,211 --> 01:06:45,464
He said he's a friend of
the gentleman you spoke of.
983
01:06:46,632 --> 01:06:50,719
- Yes, he knows him, well, indeed.
984
01:06:50,802 --> 01:06:54,014
(marching drums music)
985
01:07:07,277 --> 01:07:08,320
- Bartholomew.
986
01:07:08,403 --> 01:07:09,321
- [Bartholomew] Yes?
987
01:07:09,404 --> 01:07:11,240
- Take the children by the hand.
988
01:07:11,323 --> 01:07:16,328
- Yes, my love.
989
01:07:21,583 --> 01:07:24,503
(crowd applauding)
990
01:07:43,021 --> 01:07:46,650
- The crowd has gathered to
hear your election sermon.
991
01:07:47,859 --> 01:07:52,864
It would be a calamity for
their faith to be destroyed.
992
01:07:53,115 --> 01:07:57,202
(marching drums music continues)
993
01:08:05,669 --> 01:08:09,423
What do you think they
will say on the morrow
994
01:08:09,506 --> 01:08:12,718
when they discover that
their saintly pastor
995
01:08:12,801 --> 01:08:15,387
has fled with the woman
of the scarlet letter?
996
01:08:17,055 --> 01:08:18,307
My friend, you are frail.
997
01:08:22,185 --> 01:08:25,188
It is well that I am sailing with you.
998
01:08:25,272 --> 01:08:26,940
- Stop.
999
01:08:27,024 --> 01:08:27,774
Stop!
1000
01:08:27,858 --> 01:08:28,692
Stop!
1001
01:08:29,860 --> 01:08:33,280
(townspeople chattering)
1002
01:08:37,034 --> 01:08:41,580
People of Massachusetts, ye
that have deemed me holy,
1003
01:08:41,663 --> 01:08:43,415
you that have loved me,
1004
01:08:43,498 --> 01:08:46,126
behold in me the one sinner of the world.
1005
01:08:46,209 --> 01:08:48,837
At last, I stand where I
should've stood five years ago,
1006
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,213
by the side of Hester Prynne.
1007
01:08:50,297 --> 01:08:51,965
- It's not true! It's not true!
1008
01:08:52,049 --> 01:08:53,842
He accuses himself falsely.
1009
01:08:53,925 --> 01:08:55,510
His illness has unbalanced his mind.
1010
01:08:55,594 --> 01:08:57,596
- No, at last, I see clearly.
1011
01:08:57,679 --> 01:09:01,016
You have seen Hester's scarlet
letter and shuddered at it,
1012
01:09:01,099 --> 01:09:02,142
but there was one among you
1013
01:09:02,225 --> 01:09:04,186
whose brand of shame you have not seen.
1014
01:09:04,269 --> 01:09:05,479
- Quiet, madman!
1015
01:09:07,356 --> 01:09:09,941
- Now, at death's door,
I stand before you.
1016
01:09:11,109 --> 01:09:13,945
Look again at Hester's scarlet letter.
1017
01:09:14,029 --> 01:09:16,490
It is the shadow of what
I bear in my own heart.
1018
01:09:17,449 --> 01:09:20,369
Stand any here who question
God's judgment of a sinner?
1019
01:09:22,663 --> 01:09:25,123
Then behold a dreadful witness of it!
1020
01:09:25,207 --> 01:09:28,043
(townspeople muttering)
1021
01:09:28,126 --> 01:09:31,296
(townspeople gasping)
1022
01:09:35,092 --> 01:09:35,926
Pearl.
1023
01:09:37,094 --> 01:09:38,428
Pearl, my child,
1024
01:09:41,181 --> 01:09:42,349
will you kiss me?
1025
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,939
(Pearl sobs)
1026
01:09:49,898 --> 01:09:51,400
- Shall we not meet again?
1027
01:09:52,275 --> 01:09:55,987
Shall we not spend our
immortal lives together?
1028
01:09:56,071 --> 01:09:59,408
Look far into eternity
with those light-dying eyes
1029
01:09:59,491 --> 01:10:02,953
and tell me, what do you see?
1030
01:10:04,496 --> 01:10:05,789
- Peace, Hester.
1031
01:10:08,125 --> 01:10:08,959
Peace.
1032
01:10:17,884 --> 01:10:20,470
(bell tolling)
1033
01:10:25,058 --> 01:10:28,395
(townspeople murmuring)
1034
01:10:34,192 --> 01:10:37,946
