Keep the change. 6 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:02,232 Is that my skylark twittering? When did my little squirrel come home? 7 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,439 Just now. Come here, Torvald. See what I've bought. 8 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,360 All that? Has my little spendthrift been wasting money again? 9 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,312 Surely we can spend a little. Our first Christmas without having to save. 10 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,079 - We mustn't waste money. - Just a teeny bit. 11 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,877 Now you'll get a big salary and earn lots and lots of money. 12 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,438 - Not until New Year's Day. - We can borrow until then. 13 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,600 Nora! Aren't you being irresponsible again? 14 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,720 Suppose I borrowed 1000 kroner which you spent for Christmas- 15 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,311 - and on New Year's Eve a roof tile fell on my head. What then? 16 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:54,231 If something so awful happened I wouldn't care if I was in debt. 17 00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:00,072 - And the people I'd borrowed from? - Who cares about strangers? 18 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,756 You know my views: Never borrow money. 19 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:11,434 A home that's built on debt is somehow fettered, even ugly. 20 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,793 We will manage the short time that it's still necessary. 21 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,196 If you say so, Torvald. 22 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,633 Now, now!

It helps a lot. - I should certainly think so. 28 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:02,438 Come here, Torvald. See what I have bought. 29 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,398 New clothes for Ivar. And a sabre. 30 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,272 A horse and a trumpet for Bob. 31 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,879 A doll and a doll's bed for Emmy. 32 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:26,551 It's cheap, but she'll soon smash it to pieces anyway. 33 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,154 Dress material and kerchiefs for the maids. 34 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,959 - And this parcel? - You can't see that till tonight. 35 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,430 My little prodigal, what do you want for yourself? 36 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,840 - I don't want anything. - Nonsense! Something, within reason. 37 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,590 I really don't know. Unless... Torvald? 38 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,873 You could... well... 39 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:07,230 You could give me money! No more than you can spare. 40 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:14,038 I'll wrap it in gold paper and hang it on the Christmas tree. 41 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,554 What do you call birds that make money just fly away? 42 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:25,358 Ducks-and-drakes... But let's do what I suggest. 43 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:31,631 Yes, if you really bought something for yourself. 44 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,199 But it'll turn into housekeeping money, and I have to pay out again. 45 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,917 It's a sweet songbird, but it spends a lot of money. 46 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,272 I save as much as I can! 47 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,956 Yes, "as much you can". But you can't! 48 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:55,475 If you only knew what expenses we skylarks and squirrels have. 49 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,595 You're a funny little one. Just like your father. 50 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,795 Money seems to slip through your fingers. 51 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:09,711 We must take you as you are. It's in your blood. 52 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,720 I wish I'd inherited more of papa's good qualities. 53 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,437 I wouldn't want you any different from what you are, my sweet... 54 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,680 But you look like... you've something to hide. 55 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,033 Look into my eyes. 56 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,152 Did your sweet tooth indulge itself in town today? 57 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,797 Not a trip to the confectioner's? A macaroon? 58 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,596 - No. - I was only joking, you know, 59 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:48,559 - I won't do things you don't like. - No, you've given me your word. 60 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:58,829 Keep you Christmas secrets. They'll be revealed this evening. 61 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,150 - Did you invite Dr. Rank? - No need to. 62 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,433 It is understood that he will dine with us. 63 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,873 I've ordered an excellent wine. I'm really looking forward to tonight! 64 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,710 So am I. The children will enjoy it. 65 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,357 It feels good to have safe employment and ample means. 66 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,757 Wonderful. 67 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:30,229 Last Christmas you shut yourself up till midnight for three weeks - 68 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,673 - making flowers for the tree you wanted to surprise us with. 69 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,874 - The most boring time I've ever had! - I wasn't the least bit bored. 70 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,516 You didn't have much to show for it! 71 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,112 You know the cat got in and tore everything to shreds. 72 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,792 Poor Nora! You did your best to please us. 73 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:58,680 I'm glad the hard times are over. I don't need to be bored by myself - 74 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,670 - and you need not tire your eyes and your lovely hands. 75 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:10,400 No, there's no need for that now. It's wonderful to hear that. 76 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:16,232 I'll tell you how I think we should arrange things... 77 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:21,958 - Someone's coming. - I'm not home to visitors. 78 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,310 - There's a lady to see you. - Show her in. 79 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,560 - And Dr. Rank's here, too. - He went straight to my study? 80 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,076 How do you do, Nora? 81 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,352 You don't seem to remember me. 82 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,870 I'm afraid... 83 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,870 Kristine! Is it really you? 84 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:22,635 To think I didn't recognize you! You've changed, you know. 85 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,559 I suppose I have. Ten long years... 86 00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:28,957 Has it been that long? 87 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,790 The last eight years have been such a happy time. 88 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,800 And now you're back in town? 89 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,480 I arrived by boat this morning. 90 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,880 In time to enjoy Christmas, of course. We will have a good time! 91 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,791 We'll sit here by the stove. 92 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,357 No, in the armchair. 93 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,270 I'll sit in the rocking chair. 94 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,713 Now you look like yourself again. 95 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,353 You're a little paler, and a little thinner, perhaps. 96 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:30,919 - And much older, Nora. - Maybe a little older. Not much. 97 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,519 How thoughtless of me! 98 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,077 Dear Kristine, can you ever forgive me? 99 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,513 - You're a widow now. - Yes, three years ago. 100 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,192 I saw it in the papers. 101 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,031 I meant to write to you, but something always came up. 102 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:57,280 - I do understand. - No, it was beastly of me. 103 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,518 What you must have gone through! 104 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:06,352 He left you nothing to live on? And no children? 105 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,877 Not even a feeling of grief or loss to keep me going. 106 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:18,193 - How is that possible? - These things happen sometimes. 107 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,678 Completely alone... That must be very hard on you. 108 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,916 Today I will only think about your affairs. 109 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,513 By the way, we've had a stroke of luck! 110 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,040 My husband's been made Manager of the Savings Bank! 111 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,472 A solicitor's life is uncertain at times. 112 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:50,399 Especially when he turns down cases that aren't wholly respectable. 113 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,953 He'll start after New Year's. 114 00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:01,350 I'm so looking forward to it. He'll have a good salary and commissions. 115 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,315 I feel so carefree and happy. 116 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,036 It's wonderful to have lots of money. 117 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,074 It must be good to have enough. 118 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:18,434 - No, lots and lots of money! - Haven't you learned sense yet? 119 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:21,951 Even at school you were an awful spendthrift. 120 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:28,111 Torvald says I still am. But Nora isn't as impractical as you think. 121 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,951 - We both had to work. - You, too? 122 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:39,236 Nothing big. Crafts, crochet, embroidering. And other things. 123 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,119 Torvald left his government position when we married. 124 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,029 He had to make more money than before. 125 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,358 But he worked far too hard. 126 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,599 From morning till night. He couldn't take it and got very ill. 127 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,430 The doctors said he had to go to the south. 128 00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:03,075 You spent a year in Italy? 129 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,796 It wasn't easy to manage. 130 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,915 It was just after Ivar was born. But we had to leave. 131 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:18,999 A wonderful trip. And it saved Torvald's life. 132 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,478 - It cost a lot of money. - I'm sure. 133 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,435 4800 krones. 134 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:33,510 - You were lucky to have it. - We got it from papa. 135 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,560 Didn't your father die just about then? 136 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,630 Yes. And just think, I couldn't go and nurse him. 137 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:48,791 I was expecting Ivar and had to look after Torvald who was very ill. 138 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,392 Dear, kind papa... I never saw him again. 139 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:59,437 - So you went to Italy? - Yes. By then we had the money. 140 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,076 - And your husband was cured? - Fit as a fiddle! 141 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,955 But the maid said the doctor arrived the same time I did? 142 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,633 Dr. Rank, our closest friend. He comes every day. 143 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,196 Torvald has never been ill since. 144 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,360 The children are strong and healthy. So am I. 145 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,119 It's wonderful to be alive and happy. 146 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,877 How dreadful of me! 147 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,960 I've just been talking about myself. 148 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,312 Don't be angry with me. 149 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,475 Is it true that you didn't love your husband? 150 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,115 Why did you marry him, then? 151 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:59,920 Mother was bedridden and helpless. I had two younger brothers. 152 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,670 I just couldn't refuse his offer. 153 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,760 I suppose not. And he was rich at that time? 154 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,790 Quite well off, I believe. But his business wasn't sound. 155 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,596 When he died, there was nothing left. 156 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:24,280 I had to struggle along. A small shop, teaching and things that came along. 157 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,031 The last three years I never stopped working. 158 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,040 But now it's over. Mother has passed away. 159 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,959 The boys can support themselves. 160 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:43,999 - How relieved you must feel. - No, empty. I have no one to live for. 161 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,239 I couldn't stand the place any longer. 162 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,196 Here it must be easier to fi nd something to occupy my mind. 163 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,473 If I could find something permanent. Office work... 164 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,514 That's very tiring. And you look worn out. 165 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,316 It would be better to go to a bath. 166 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,956 - I have no father to pay my way! - Don't be angry! 167 00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:15,119 Don't be angry with me. In my situation you feel bitter. 168 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:21,157 There's no one to work for. Still, one must always be on the alert. 169 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,073 When you told me about your good fortune - 170 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,229 - I was less pleased for your sake than for my own. 171 00:17:31,360 --> 00:17:35,991 You think that Torvald could help you? So he shall! 172 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,109 - I'd really like to help you. - How kind of you. 173 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:46,316 Especially since you know so little of life's hardships. 174 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,114 A little needlework? You're still a child. 175 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,830 Don't be so superior! 176 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:58,319 None of you think I could do anything worthwhile! 177 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,831 You think I've had an easy life. 178 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,077 But you've told me about your troubles. 179 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,792 They were nothing. I haven't told you about the important thing. 180 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,677 What important thing? 181 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,153 You dismiss me. You shouldn't do that. 182 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,399 You're proud that you worked so hard for your mother. 183 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:28,357 I'm proud that I was able to make mother's last days much easier. 184 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,554 - And proud of helping your brothers. - And rightly so! 185 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,837 Listen, Kristine. 186 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,110 I have something that I'm proud of, too. 187 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:49,360 Speak softly. What if Torvald heard you! No one must know but you. 188 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:55,278 - What are you talking about? - It was I who saved Torvald's life. 189 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,595 Torvald wouldn't have lived if he hadn't gone to Italy. 190 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,840 - Your father gave you the money. - Torvald and everyone think so. 191 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:12,434 Papa didn't give us a shilling. I raised the money. 4800 kroner! 192 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:18,272 - Did you win the lottery? - The lottery? 193 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:23,560 - That would be no accomplishment! - How did you raise it? 194 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:28,232 - Surely you didn't borrow it? - Why not? 195 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:32,434 A wife can't borrow without her husband's consent. 196 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:38,796 A wife with a flair for business, who is astute about it... 197 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,837 I don't understand. 198 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,392 No need to. And I haven't said I actually borrowed the money. 199 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,309 I could have come by it in other ways. 200 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:57,040 From an admirer. When one is as attractive as I am... 201 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,117 You're insane! 202 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,080 You're dying of curiosity! 203 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,911 Nora, you haven't done anything rash, I hope. 204 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,635 Is it rash to save your husband's life? 205 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:16,036 - Without his knowing... - He didn't know how ill he was! 206 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:22,390 The doctors told me nothing could save his life but a trip to the south. 207 00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:30,231 "Well," I thought. "I will save you." And I found a way. 208 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:36,277 Didn't your father tell him that the money didn't come from him? 209 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,632 No, that was just when papa was dying. 210 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:46,360 I meant to ask him not to give me away, but he was so ill... 211 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,713 And you never told your husband? 212 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:57,036 Good heavens, no! He's very strict in such matters. 213 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,350 And Torvald is a very proud man. 214 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,279 How humiliating for him to know - 215 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,236 - what he owed me. That would spoil our relationship. 216 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,430 Won't you ever tell him? 217 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,394 Some day, maybe. 218 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,912 When I'm not as pretty any more. 219 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,273 When he doesn't love me as much as he does now. 220 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:29,794 When he's no longer amused by my dancing for him and dressing up... 221 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,756 Then I'd like to have something up my sleeve. 222 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,113 Nonsense. That time will never come. 223 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:46,514 What about my great secret? Am I still of no use? 224 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,189 But the matter has been a great worry to me. 225 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,440 It hasn't been easy to meet my obligations punctually. 226 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,794 There's something called "interest" and "payment on the principal". 227 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,670 They're hard to meet. How I've had to save! 228 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,519 I couldn't touch the housekeeping money. 229 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:16,278 Torvald had to live well, and the children couldn't look shabby. 230 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,996 So it was your own needs that suffered, then? 231 00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:23,113 Yes, but it was the only way. 232 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:29,396 When Torvald gave me money for dresses, I only spent half of it. 233 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:35,756 Thank goodness Torvald never noticed. Anything looks good on me. 234 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,720 - It's lovely to be nicely dressed. - Yes, indeed. 235 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,234 I've had other sources of income, too. 236 00:22:46,360 --> 00:22:51,151 Last year I was lucky enough to get a lot of copying to do. 237 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:58,353 Every evening I locked myself in till late at night. I was so very tired. 238 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:04,033 But I really enjoyed working and earning money. 239 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,313 It was almost like being... a man. 240 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:13,591 How much have you been able to pay off, Nora? 241 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,471 I'm not so sure exactly. 242 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,718 It's difficult to keep track of it. 243 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,312 But I've paid every penny I've been able to scape together. 244 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,877 At times I've been at my wits' end. 245 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:34,314 Then I'd dream that a rich old gentleman fell in love with me. 246 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:39,720 And now he was dead, and his will said explicitly: 247 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:46,633 "All my money shall be paid out to the lovely Mrs. Nora Helmer." 248 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,594 What gentleman was that? 249 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:54,317 Don't you see? The old gentleman doesn't exist. 250 00:23:54,440 --> 00:24:00,755 It was just something I would imagine when I didn't know how to raise money. 251 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:07,275 But now he can stay where he is, my troubles are over. 252 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:15,349 It's lovely to think of. Imagine having no worries at all! 253 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,190 To be able to play with the children... 254 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,634 To have lovely things in the house, the way Torvald likes it. 255 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,039 Soon spring will be here with its grand blue air. 256 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,872 Maybe we can go away. Perhaps I'll see the sea again. 257 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,677 Isn't it wonderful to be alive and happy? 258 00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:47,752 - Maybe I'd better go. - No, it'll be someone for Torvald. 259 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:56,993 - Someone to see the solicitor. - The Bank Manager, you mean. 260 00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:01,160 Yes, the Bank Manager. But since the Doctor is in there... 261 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,671 - Who is it? - It's me, Mrs. Helmer. 262 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:10,235 You..? What do you want to see my husband about? 263 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,030 Bank business. I have a small post at the Savings Bank - 264 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,153 - and you husband will be our new manager. 265 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,990 - So it's only... - Just dull business. Nothing else. 266 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,475 Please go into his study. 267 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,154 - Who was that? - A lawyer named Krogstad. 268 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,479 - It was really him... - Do you know that person? 269 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:50,951 He once worked in a lawyer's office back home. How he has changed! 270 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,000 His marriage was very unhappy, I hear. 271 00:25:55,120 --> 00:26:00,400 - And now he's a widower? - With lots of children. 272 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,590 He's involved in all sorts of business, they say. 273 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,474 Maybe. I really don't know. 274 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,560 But let's not talk about a dull subject like business. 275 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,793 I'm so sorry. I seem to be intruding here, too. 276 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,391 Not at all. Dr. Rank. Mrs. Linde. 277 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:31,790 A name I often hear in this house.

Now you know. 358 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,952 Yes, just as I thought. 359 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:06,599 Even though one's a woman, one still has a little influence, you know. 360 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:12,796 In a subordinate position, you should that care not to offend those... 361 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,960 - ... those with influence? - Precisely. 362 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:23,038 Would you be kind enough to use your influence on my behalf? 363 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:29,152 I mean, see to it that I keep my subordinate position at the bank? 364 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,796 Who is trying to take your position away? 365 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,196 No need to pretend. 366 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:39,439 It won't be pleasant for your friend to keep running into me. 367 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,520 And I know whom to thank for my dismissal. 368 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,520 There is still time! Use your influence to prevent it. 369 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,714 But I have no influence! 370 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:56,991 Not like that! How do you think I could influence him in such matters? 371 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:02,873 I don't believe our Bank Manager is less tractable than other husbands. 372 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:08,519 If you speak disrespectfully of my husband, I'll show you the door! 373 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,190 I'm not afraid of you. After New Year's I'll be free. 374 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:20,760 If need be, I'll fight desperately to keep my little job at the bank. 375 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:27,433 - So it would seem! - It's not the money. Something else. 376 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:33,000 It's... You know of course that a few years ago - 377 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,955 - I committed an indiscretion. 378 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:42,474 It was never taken to court, but afterwards all doors seemed closed. 379 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,077 Then I started in the business you know about. 380 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,080 I need to give it up. My sons are growing up. 381 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:55,355 I need to regain a respectable position in society. 382 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,791 The position at the bank was the first step for me. 383 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,118 Now your husband intends to kick me off the ladder. 384 00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:05,358 - I really am powerless to help you. - You don't want to! 385 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,951 But I have ways of forcing you. 386 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:16,118 You won't tell my husband that I owe you money, will you? 387 00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:19,517 Suppose I told him? 388 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,350 That would be a shameful thing to do. 389 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:28,157 To think that my splendid secret would be revealed in such a... 390 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,035 ... such an ugly and crass way, by you! 391 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,791 It would be terribly unpleasant! 392 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,230 Only unpleasant? 393 00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:46,318 Go ahead! But then my husband will see what a scoundrel you are! 394 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,870 Only domestic unpleasantness? 395 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,994 My husband will pay what I owe, and that's the end of it. 396 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,192 Mrs. Helmer, either your memory fails you - 397 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,837 - or you're ignorant about business. I'll enlighten you. 398 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:06,399 When your husband was ill, you came to me to borrow 4800 krones. 399 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:11,073 I promised to raise the money on certain conditions. 400 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:15,797 You were probably too worried to pay attention to the details. 401 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:21,996 - I drew up a promissory note. - Which I signed. 402 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:27,957 But I added a few lines making your father security for the money. 403 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,994 - Your father was to sign this clause. - But he did sign! 404 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,319 You were to send this note to your father. 405 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:43,358 In a few days, his signature came, and I handed you the money. 406 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,235 - Haven't I kept up my payments? - Fairly regularly. 407 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,912 No matter. This must have been a trying time for you. 408 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:57,115 Your father was very ill. And he died soon afterwards. 409 00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:02,838 Do you recall which day your father died? The date, I mean. 410 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:09,669 - Papa died on September 29th. - Correct. I've had it confirmed. 411 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:20,039 - Which brings up a strange matter. - Which strange matter..? 412 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:28,360 This curious fact: Your father signed this note three days after he died. 413 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,350 Your father died on September 29th. 414 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:42,317 His signature is dated October 2nd. Isn't that curious? 415 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,160 Can you explain it? 416 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:50,599 Also, it's odd that the date is not written in your father's handwriting. 417 00:38:50,720 --> 00:38:55,192 Rather, in a handwriting I think I know. 418 00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:59,998 Maybe your father forgot to add the date and someone else did. 419 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:05,519 Nothing wrong in that. It's the signature that matters. 420 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,920 It really was your father who wrote his name here? 421 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:19,478 No! It was I who wrote papa's name. 422 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,319 - A dangerous admission. - Why? You'll have your money soon. 423 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:28,673 May I ask why you didn't send your father the note. 424 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,272 He was ill. I couldn't tell him my husband's life was in danger. 425 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,239 You should have dropped your trip! 426 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,955 It was to save my husband's life. 427 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,154 It didn't occur to you that this was fraud against me? 428 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,830 I couldn't worry about that! 429 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:53,111 And I couldn't stand you, making so many difficulties for me! 430 00:39:53,720 --> 00:40:00,513 Mrs. Helmer, you obviously have no idea what you are guilty of. 431 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:05,317 What I did to ruin my respectability was nothing worse than this. 432 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:10,356 You mean you did something brave to save your wife's life? 433 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:16,192 - The laws don't ask why. - Then they must be very bad laws! 434 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:21,793 If I produce this paper in court, these laws will convict you. 435 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,516 I simply don't believe it. 436 00:40:27,720 --> 00:40:33,557 Has a daughter no right to protect her dying father from worry? 437 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:39,233 Has a wife no right to save her husband's life? 438 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:45,751 I'm quite certain that some law somewhere must allow such things- 439 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:51,956 And you don't about that? You must be an incapable lawyer. 440 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,556 Maybe so. 441 00:40:54,960 --> 00:41:01,753 But I do understand the kind of business we've had together. 442 00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:07,312 Do as you please. 443 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:18,953 If I am shunned for a second time, you will keep me company! 444 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:57,959 - Where are the children, Anne-Marie? - Out sledding. 445 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,639 There's hot coffee on the stove. 446 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,832 Helene! 447 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,918 Bring me the tree. 448 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:33,113 - Where shall I put it, Madam? - In the middle of the room. 449 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:41,837 - Anything else you need? - No thanks. I have what I need. 450 00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:05,911 Back so soon? 451 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,791 Has anyone been here? 452 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,276 No. 453 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:26,678 That's odd. I saw Krogstad leave by the gate. 454 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:32,639 Oh..? Yes, that's true. Krogstad stopped by for a minute. 455 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:38,279 I see it in your face. He begged you to put in a good word for him. 456 00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:42,350 And make it look like it was your own idea. 457 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,679 And you weren't supposed to say that he was here? 458 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:52,159 How could you engage in giving promises to a man like that? 459 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:58,117 And even telling me a lie! Didn't you say no one had been here? 460 00:46:58,240 --> 00:47:03,360 Never again. A songbird must have a clear voice, no false notes. Correct? 461 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,955 Let's say no more about it. 462 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,512 This is a nice and comfortable place. 463 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,518 I'm so looking forward to the fancy-dress party. 464 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:47,840 And I'm very curious to see what you'll surprise me with. 465 00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,034 That silly idea... 466 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:57,110 I can't think of a costume. Everything seems so pointless. 467 00:47:57,240 --> 00:48:02,474 So little Nora has realized that? 468 00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:11,075 Are you very busy, Torvald? 469 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:17,036 - What are those papers? - Bank business. 470 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,790 I have the authority to make changes in the staff - 471 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:25,399 - and the business plan. I have to spend Christmas week on it. 472 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:29,480 So that's why this poor Krogstad... 473 00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:39,673 If you hadn't been so busy, I'd have asked you a big favor. 474 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,880 - Tell me. - Nobody has better taste than you. 475 00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,995 I want to look good at the party. 476 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:55,232 Won't you take care of me, decide what my costume should look like... 477 00:48:55,360 --> 00:49:00,640 So my little wilful one is looking for a rescuer? 478 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,919 I'm stuck without your help. 479 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,829 Good! We'll think of something. 480 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,476 You are nice! 481 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:25,358 Was it really bad, what this Krogstad did? 482 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:30,475 Forged a signature. Do you know what that means? 483 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:35,595 - Maybe it was a desperate situation. - Or maybe it was folly. 484 00:49:35,720 --> 00:49:41,318 I'm not pitiless enough to condemn outright a man for a single slip. 485 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:47,516 One redeems oneself by admitting one's guilt and taking one's punishment. 486 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:54,399 Krogstad didn't. He used tricks and cunning. And that corrupted him. 487 00:49:54,520 --> 00:50:01,632 Imagine how a guilty man has to lie and live the life of a hypocrite. 488 00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:08,280 Wearing a mask with those close him, even with his wife and children. 489 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:13,077 And the children, that's the most terrible part. 490 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:17,991 An atmosphere of lies poisons life in the home. 491 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:25,038 Every breath the children take is infected with germs of evil. 492 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:31,915 - Are you certain? - Yes. As a lawyer I've seen it often. 493 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:36,671 People depraved early in life have all had lying mothers. 494 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,759 Why only the mothers? 495 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:44,079 Well, generally the mother is the cause. 496 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:51,316 A father can have the same effect, as any lawyer knows full well. 497 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:56,469 Nevetheless, Krogstad has poisoned his children with lies and deceit. 498 00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,752 Therefore I call him morally depraved. 499 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:06,798 Little Nora must promise not to plead his cause. Let's shake hands on it. 500 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,155 That's settled then. 501 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:21,958 I can't work with him. I feel physically ill in the presence of such people. 502 00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:27,519 How hot this room is! And I have so much to do. 503 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:33,876 I'd better read through this. And I'll think about your costume, too. 504 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:38,358 And I have something in gold paper to hang on the tree. 505 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:43,271 My darling little songbird! 506 00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:56,275 The children want to come in and be with their mother. 507 00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:01,236 No, don't let them in here! You stay with them. 508 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:09,594 I finally found the box with the costume. 509 00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:13,509 It seems to be in a terrible state. 510 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:19,511 - I want to tear it to pieces! - It's easily fixed. It needs patience. 511 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,520 I'll ask Mrs. Linde to help me. 512 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:28,157 Out again, in this terrible weather? You'll catch a cold, Miss Nora. 513 00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:31,159 There are worse things! 514 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:37,072 How are the children? 515 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:42,993 The poor darlings are playing with their presents, but... 516 00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:47,239 - Do they ask for me? - Yes, they're always with their mama. 517 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:52,230 I can't be with them as often as I used to. 518 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:56,832 - Children will get used to anything. - Do you think so? 519 00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,110 Would they forget me if I went away altogether? 520 00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:04,560 Away altogether? 521 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:14,560 How did you have the heart to give your child to strangers? 522 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:19,153 I had to. Or I couldn't nurse my little Nora. 523 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,231 How could you want to? 524 00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,432 With a good position like this? 525 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:31,715 A poor girl in the family way would be glad to. And the man didn't help. 526 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:40,312 But your daughter has forgotten you? 527 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:47,153 No, she wrote to me when she was confirmed and when she married. 528 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:58,471 - You were a good mother to me. - Little Nora had no other mother. 529 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,077 If my children had no one else I know you would... 530 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:06,356 Oh, such nonsense! Go to them. 531 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,909 Tomorrow you'll see how pretty I'll look. 532 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:16,957 There'll be no one as lovely as you, Miss Nora. 533 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,956 Oh, it's you, Kristine. 534 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,471 - There's no one else out there? - No. 535 00:55:55,400 --> 00:56:00,475 - Good of you to come. - I hear you've been to see me. 536 00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:07,279 I happened to pass by. There's something I need your help with. 537 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:12,475 The Stenborgs upstairs are having a fancy-dress ball tomorrow. 538 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:18,756 Torvald wants me as a Neopolitan fisher girl and dance the tarantella. 539 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:23,750 - So you'll give a performance? - Torvald says that I should. 540 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:28,909 Here's the dress, but it's so torn now... 541 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:36,599 The trimming just needs fastening here and there. Needle and thread? 542 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:41,635 This is kind of you. 543 00:56:47,080 --> 00:56:50,152 So you'll be dressed up tomorrow? 544 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:54,957 I'll come by to see you in your finery. 545 00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,915 I've forgotten to thank you for a lovely evening yesterday. 546 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:05,239 Yesterday was not as nice as usual. 547 00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:10,594 You know, Torvald knows how to make a house nice and comfortable. 548 00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:16,273 So do you! Or you wouldn't be your father's daughter. 549 00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,834 Tell me, is Dr. Rank always as depressed as last night? 550 00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:25,000 No, yesterday was out of the ordinary. 551 00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:29,751 He's very ill, poor man. Consumption of the spine. 552 00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,679 His father was a horrible man who had mistresses. 553 00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:40,114 - So his son has always been delicate. - How so you know about such things? 554 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:48,074 When you have three children you're visited by women with... 555 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:54,436 ... with medical knowledge. They tell you about these things. 556 00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:02,238 - Does Dr. Rank come here every day? - Yes. 557 00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:07,116 He is Torvald's good friend from childhood. He's my good friend, too. 558 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:10,556 He's almost part of the family. 559 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:16,398 Is he really sincere? Or does he like to say things to please people? 560 00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,079 On the contrary. How so? 561 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:22,918 When we met, he said he had often heard my name. 562 00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:28,672 But your husband had no idea who I was. How could Dr. Rank..? 563 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:35,149 Torvald is so fond of me that he wants me all to himself. 564 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,112 As he puts it. 565 00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:42,872 At first he got jealous if I even mentioned people back home. 566 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,630 So of course I gave it up. 567 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:51,516 But with Dr. Rank I often talk about them. He likes to listen. 568 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:58,195 In many ways you're still a child. I'm older and have more experience. 569 00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:03,918 - You should stop this with Dr. Rank! - What should I stop? 570 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:10,150 - You mentioned a rich admirer... - Who doesn't exist, worse luck. 571 00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,838 - Is Dr. Rank rich? - Yes, he is. 572 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:18,000 With no one to support? And he comes here every day? 573 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:22,080 How could such a fine man be so tactless? 574 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,830 Don't pretend. I know whom you borrowed the money from! 575 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,276 Have you gone mad? 576 00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:33,674 A friend who comes here every day? How embarassing! 577 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:38,556 - So it wasn't him? - No, I assure you. 578 00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,674 And he had no money then. He inherited it later. 579 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,754 That was lucky for you. 580 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:50,632 I wouldn't dream of it! But if I were to ask him... 581 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,757 - But you won't. - No. 582 00:59:55,760 --> 01:00:01,472 I must resolve this other thing! A man can easily straighten it out. 583 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:05,640 - One's own husband! - Nonsense! 584 01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:19,551 After you've paid, you get the promissory note back? 585 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:24,755 And you can tear it up and burn the filthy thing! 586 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:26,837 You're hiding something from me. 587 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,471 - Can you see it on me? - What has happened, Nora? 588 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:38,437 Torvald's here. Sit with the children. He doesn't like to see sewing. 589 01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,478 I'm not leaving until we've talked this through. 590 01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,836 I've been longing for you to come back, dear Torvald. 591 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:10,432 - Was that the dressmaker? - It was Kristine. 592 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,829 She's helping me mend my costume. 593 01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:20,513 - I'll look just grand! - That was a splendid idea I had. 594 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:24,031 Isn't it nice of me to do as you said? 595 01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:30,999 Nice, to do as your husband said? I know you didn't mean it like that. 596 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:35,319 - I suppose you want to try it on. - And you got work to do? 597 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,036 Yes, I've been to the bank. 598 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:48,035 If your little squirrel were to ask you nicely for something... 599 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:54,111 - Would you do it? - First I must know what it is. 600 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:58,837 The squirrel would do all her tricks... 601 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:06,276 - Your skylark would sing prettily. - My skylark does than anyway. 602 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:11,873 I'll be a fairy and dance for you in the moonlight. 603 01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:16,040 - The matter from this morning? - I do beg you! 604 01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:19,676 And you dare bring it up again? 605 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,952 You must let Krogstad keep his job at the bank! 606 01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:27,279 It's his place I'm giving to Mrs. Linde. 607 01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:32,794 But you could dismiss another clerk instead of Krogstad. 608 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:38,034 You're being extremely wilful! 609 01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:44,430 - Just because you promised him... - No, it's for your own sake, Torvald. 610 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:48,270 This person writes in the most vulgar newspapers. 611 01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:52,474 He can do you so much harm! I'm so frightened... 612 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:58,995 It's the old memories that scare you. You're thinking of your father. 613 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:04,354 Yes! Remember how evil people slandered him in the papers. 614 01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:11,193 He'd have been dismissed, if the Ministry hadn't sent you to look into it. 615 01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:14,996 There's a difference between him and me. 616 01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:19,831 He was no unimpeachable official, but I am. And I'll stay that way. 617 01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:24,000 There's no limit to the harm evil people can cause. 618 01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:29,559 We could live so happily here in our comfortable home. With the children. 619 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:35,711 By pleading for him you make it impossible for me to keep him! 620 01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:39,834 In the bank they know that I'm dismissing Krogstad. 621 01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:43,192 Suppose people heard that the new manager was swayed by his wife... 622 01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:49,630 - Would it matter? - No, not as long as you got you way! 623 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:55,597 I should be the laughing stock of the staff! Influenced by outsiders... 624 01:03:55,720 --> 01:04:00,033 I'd soon face the consequences. 625 01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:09,599 As his superior, one matter makes it impossible to keep him at the bank. 626 01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:15,796 His moral failings I could overlook. And he is good at his work, they say. 627 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:21,314 But I knew him when we were young. 628 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:27,311 One of the unfortunate friendships one often regrets later in life. 629 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:39,393 I'll tell you frankly: We're on informal terms with each other. 630 01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:44,720 This tactless person doesn't hide it when others are present. 631 01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:51,952 He thinks he has the right to be familiar with me. It's very unpleasant! 632 01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:57,910 He'll make my position intolerable. 633 01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:02,159 Torvald, you can't mean this? 634 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,680 Why not? 635 01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:11,636 - It's such a petty reason. - What do you mean? 636 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:19,639 - Do you think I'm petty? - On the contrary. And that's why... 637 01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:26,200 You said my reasons are petty, hence you think that I'm petty... 638 01:05:26,920 --> 01:05:33,269 We'll put an end to this right now. Helene! 639 01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:37,917 - What are you doing? - Settling things. 640 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:52,037 Take this letter. Find a messenger and have it delivered at once. 641 01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:59,229 There, my little stubborn one. 642 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:09,873 - What was that letter? - Krogstad's dismissal. 643 01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,916 Call it back, Torvald! 644 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:20,071 For my sake, for your sake, for the children's sake! 645 01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,239 Too late. 646 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,110 Too late... 647 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:35,673 I forgive you your anxiety for me. 648 01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,793 Even though it is an insult to me- 649 01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:44,359 - to believe I should be afraid of a poor scribbler's revenge! 650 01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:49,191 But I forgive you. It is proof of your great love for me. 651 01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:54,952 It's right and proper, my darling Nora. Come what may, - 652 01:06:55,080 --> 01:07:01,554 - I have courage and strength. I'm man enough to take it on myself. 653 01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:06,197 - What do you mean? - Everything, I tell you. 654 01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:10,476 You shall never have to do that. 655 01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:14,560 Then let's share it, Nora.

I recognized your ring. 662 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:10,831 Don't disturb Torvald just yet. I think he has some work to do. 663 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,151 And you? 664 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:19,719 - For you I always have time. - Thank you. 665 01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:26,075 I shall take advantage of it as long as I can. 666 01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:29,591 What do you mean? As long as you can? 667 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,719 Does it alarm you? 668 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:39,520 No, it was just an odd expression. 669 01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:46,078 Is anything going to happen? 670 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:52,754 Yes, what I've been expecting for a long time.

You've forgotten everything I taught you. 910 01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:14,559 - Yes, as you see. - You need a lot of coaching. 911 01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:21,912 You see how much I need it. You must teach me up to the last minute. 912 01:33:22,040 --> 01:33:25,716 Today and tomorrow, you must think of nothing but me. 913 01:33:25,840 --> 01:33:29,834 Do not open any letters, not even the letterbox. 914 01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:35,160 - Are you still scared of this person? - Yes, that too. 915 01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:41,595 I see it in your face. There's a letter from him out there. 916 01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:47,079 I think so, but you mustn't read such things now. 917 01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:51,752 Nothing ugly should come between us until it's all over. 918 01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:55,510 You should respect her wish. 919 01:33:55,680 --> 01:33:58,798 My child shall have her way. 920 01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:02,231 But tomorrow night, after you've danced... 921 01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:05,080 Then you'll be free! 922 01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:08,352 Dinner is served. 923 01:34:08,480 --> 01:34:12,360 - We want champagne, Helene. - This will be festive! 924 01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:17,072 A festive champagne dinner till dawn. 925 01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:22,150 And macaroons, Helene.

Well? - He has left town. 929 01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:39,039 I left a note for him. 930 01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:42,398 You shouldn't have done that. 931 01:34:43,440 --> 01:34:49,516 It's a celebration, this waiting for a miracle. 932 01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:53,117 What is it you're expecting? 933 01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:58,110 You wouldn't understand. Join the others. 934 01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:08,477 It's five o'clock. Seven hours until midnight. 935 01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:12,272 Then 24 hours till midnight tomorrow. 936 01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:18,595 31 hours to live. 937 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:23,110 Where's my little skylark? 938 01:35:25,480 --> 01:35:28,917 Here's your skylark! 939 01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:18,520 I found a note from you. What is this about? 940 01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:23,955 I just had to have a talk with you. 941 01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:29,392 And you just had to have it in this house? 942 01:36:56,120 --> 01:37:00,000 At my place it was impossible. 943 01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:06,269 Come in. We're all alone. The Helmers are upstairs at a ball. 944 01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:12,270 You don't say... The Helmers are dancing tonight? 945 01:37:14,960 --> 01:37:19,398 - Why not? - That's true. 946 01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:24,478 Krogstad, you and I need to talk. 947 01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:28,351 - Have we anything more to talk about? - A great deal. 948 01:37:28,480 --> 01:37:33,555 - I wouldn't have thought so. - You never really understood me. 949 01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:39,233 A heartless woman abandoning a man when someone better comes along? 950 01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:42,438 Do you think it was easy to break with you? 951 01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:45,553 Then why did you write what you did? 952 01:37:45,800 --> 01:37:51,194 What could I do? I had to break with you in such a way- 953 01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:56,031 - that all your feelings for me were killed. 954 01:37:56,160 --> 01:38:01,918 So that was it? And you did it just for the money? 955 01:38:02,480 --> 01:38:07,874 I had a helpless mother and two small brothers, don't forget. 956 01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:11,755 I couldn't wait for you. Your prospects were poor. 957 01:38:11,880 --> 01:38:16,591 Maybe so, but you had no right to jettison me for anyone else! 958 01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,195 I've asked myself that. 959 01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:24,992 When I lost you, it was as if the ground gave way under me. 960 01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:30,596 Look at me now, a shipwrecked man about to go down. 961 01:38:30,720 --> 01:38:36,239 - Help may be at hand. - It was, until you came and interfered. 962 01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:42,357 I only found out today that I was going to replace you at the bank. 963 01:38:46,480 --> 01:38:51,350 I believe you. Now that you know, won't you give it up? 964 01:38:51,480 --> 01:38:55,599 - It wouldn't do you any good. - I still would have done it! 965 01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:59,270 From bitter necessity I've learned to think before I act. 966 01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:03,553 Life has taught me to distrust fine speeches. 967 01:39:03,680 --> 01:39:07,720 - Good! But you must believe in actions. - What do you mean? 968 01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:14,918 You said you were like a shipwrecked man about to go down. 969 01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:22,471 I'm also like a shipwrecked woman. No one to care for or mourn over. 970 01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:27,154 - It was your choice. - At that time I had no choice. 971 01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:36,999 What if the shipwrecked people joined forces? 972 01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:41,957 What do you mean? 973 01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:47,791 Two on one wreck are better off than each one alone. 974 01:39:48,160 --> 01:39:51,631 Why do you think I came to town? 975 01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:55,071 Are you saying that you were thinking of me? 976 01:39:55,200 --> 01:40:00,229 I must work or life isn't worth living. I've always worked. It's been my one joy. 977 01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:07,399 Let me have something and someone to work for. 978 01:40:08,040 --> 01:40:10,475 I don't trust this. 979 01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:15,311 A woman's exciteable nobility in sacrificing herself. 980 01:40:15,680 --> 01:40:19,037 Have you ever seen me excitable? 981 01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:27,990 Could you really do it? Do you know everything about my past? 982 01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:33,758 - You know what people think of me? - But you sounded like... 983 01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:37,635 ...with me you might have been a different person. 984 01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:42,789 - I'm sure of it. - Couldn't this still happen? 985 01:40:45,880 --> 01:40:50,352 Kristine, you say this as if you really mean it. 986 01:40:52,480 --> 01:40:58,511 Yes, I see it in your face. Do you have the courage? 987 01:40:58,960 --> 01:41:05,400 Your children need a mother. You and I need each other. 988 01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:10,989 I have faith in you. With you I can face anything. 989 01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:15,514 Kristine... 990 01:41:18,120 --> 01:41:21,875 - The tarantella. Go! - Why? 991 01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:26,438 When the dance is over, they'll be coming here. 992 01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:33,591 I'll go. You can't know the action I've taken against the Helmers. 993 01:41:33,720 --> 01:41:39,910 I know all about it. I do understand how despair can drive a pesron. 994 01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:46,560 - If only I could undo it! - You can. The letter's in the letterbox. 995 01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:53,233 I see. You want to save your friend at any price. Is that it? 996 01:41:54,520 --> 01:41:59,754 If you've sold yourself for the sake of others once, you don't do it again. 997 01:41:59,880 --> 01:42:04,033 - I will ask for my letter back. - No! At first I wanted you to. 998 01:42:05,520 --> 01:42:12,199 This last day I've witnessed the most incredible things in this house. 999 01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:17,397 Helmer must be told. The secrecy and concealment must end. 1000 01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:22,950 Very well, if you want to risk it. 1001 01:42:23,480 --> 01:42:29,351 - But there's one thing I can do... - Hurry. The dance is over. 1002 01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:35,513 - I'll wait for you downstairs. - Please do. 1003 01:42:59,400 --> 01:43:02,438 What a change! 1004 01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:26,316 Let's go upstairs again. I don't want to leave yet! 1005 01:43:26,440 --> 01:43:30,275 I do beg you. Just one more hour! 1006 01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:36,237 Not a single minute. You know what we agreed. 1007 01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:46,991 - Kristine! - Mrs. Linde, here so late? 1008 01:43:47,360 --> 01:43:51,832 - I wanted to see Nora all dressed up. - Have you been waiting for me? 1009 01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:56,432 I was too late. And I didn't want to leave until I'd seen you. 1010 01:43:56,600 --> 01:44:01,914 Take a good look at her. Isn't she lovely? 1011 01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:06,398 Remarkably lovely! That was the general consensus at the party. 1012 01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:10,912 But she's terribly wilful, this sweet little thing. 1013 01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:17,280 I almost had to resort to force to make her come with me. 1014 01:44:17,400 --> 01:44:22,031 You'll regret that you didn't let me stay even for just half an hour. 1015 01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:26,200 She dances her tarantella and is a huge success. 1016 01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:32,556 Even though her performance was more realistic than artistically called for. 1017 01:44:33,400 --> 01:44:38,600 But she is a huge success. Should I let her stay after that? 1018 01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:41,030 And spoil the effect? 1019 01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:47,794 I took my little... my capricious little Capri girl by the arm. 1020 01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:51,272 A quick turn around the room, a bow all around - 1021 01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:55,758 - and the beautiful vision is gone, as the novels put it. 1022 01:44:56,360 --> 01:44:59,637 An exit should always be impressive, - 1023 01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:04,835 - but I simply can't make little Nora see my point. 1024 01:45:04,960 --> 01:45:08,158 It's warm in here. 1025 01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:17,158 It's dark in there. Of course! Excuse me. 1026 01:45:21,440 --> 01:45:26,151 I've talked to him. You must tell your husband everything. 1027 01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:30,672 You've nothing to fear from Krogstad, but you must talk! 1028 01:45:30,800 --> 01:45:34,760 - I'll never tell him. - Then the letter will. 1029 01:45:34,880 --> 01:45:38,191 Thank you. I now know what I must do. 1030 01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:42,270 - Have you been admiring her? - Yes. 1031 01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:47,554 - And now I must say good night. - So soon? 1032 01:45:47,680 --> 01:45:52,994 - Is that your knitting? - Yes, I almost forgot it. 1033 01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:56,033 So you knit? It'd be much better if you did embroidery. 1034 01:45:56,160 --> 01:46:00,393 It's more graceful. You hold the embroidery in your left hand. 1035 01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:05,037 With your right work the needle in a long sweep. 1036 01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:09,555 Knitting is always ungraceful. 1037 01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:15,472 Pinched arms and needles going up and down, up an down... 1038 01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:22,155 Excellent champagne we were served. 1039 01:46:23,160 --> 01:46:26,392 Good night, Nora. Don't be wilful any longer. 1040 01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:30,753 - Well spoken, Mrs. Linde. - Good night, Sir. 1041 01:46:31,520 --> 01:46:37,960 I hope you get safely home. I'd be glad to... but you live quite near. 1042 01:46:41,760 --> 01:46:47,074 We finally got rid of her. What a boring person! 1043 01:46:47,200 --> 01:46:51,035 - Aren't you very tired? - Not at all. 1044 01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:57,031 I feel remarkably cheerful. But you look tired and sleepy. 1045 01:46:57,160 --> 01:47:00,836 I am tired. I'd like to go to sleep very soon. 1046 01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:04,351 You see how right I was in not staying longer. 1047 01:47:04,480 --> 01:47:07,200 You're always, always right. 1048 01:47:07,600 --> 01:47:12,516 Now my skylark is talking like a human being. 1049 01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:20,596 Did you notice how cheerful Rank was this evening? 1050 01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:24,555 He was? I hardly spoke a word to him. 1051 01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:29,800 Nor I, but I haven't seen him in this good mood for a long time. 1052 01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:36,233 It's wonderful to be back home. 1053 01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:41,276 All alone with you, you lovely young woman. 1054 01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:45,470 Don't look at me like that. 1055 01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:51,393 Not look at my own treasure, at this beauty that belongs to me, me alone? 1056 01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:53,517 Don't say that. Not tonight. 1057 01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:59,352 You still have the tarantella in your blood. That makes you more desirable. 1058 01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:05,315 The guests are leaving.

You've changed your clothes? 1245 02:08:25,800 --> 02:08:28,872 Yes, I've changed my clothes. 1246 02:08:30,680 --> 02:08:35,232 - Why, at this hour? - I shall not sleep tonight. 1247 02:08:39,080 --> 02:08:43,871 Sit down. You and I have much to talk about. 1248 02:08:45,400 --> 02:08:49,235 You frighten me. 1249 02:08:49,760 --> 02:08:55,199 - I don't understand you. - That's just it. You don't understand me. 1250 02:08:55,800 --> 02:09:00,238 And I've never understood you, until tonight. 1251 02:09:00,360 --> 02:09:04,195 No, don't interrupt! Just listen. We must settle things. 1252 02:09:04,680 --> 02:09:07,400 What do you mean? 1253 02:09:09,800 --> 02:09:16,434 Doesn't this situation strike you as odd? We've been married for 8 years. 1254 02:09:16,560 --> 02:09:21,589 This is the first time that we, husband and wife, have a serious talk. 1255 02:09:21,720 --> 02:09:23,951 Serious? What do you mean? 1256 02:09:24,160 --> 02:09:30,316 Ever since we met we've never spoken seriously about serious matters. 1257 02:09:31,000 --> 02:09:34,630 Should I involve you in problems you could help with? 1258 02:09:34,760 --> 02:09:41,200 Not problems. We've never seriously tried to get to the bottom of anything. 1259 02:09:41,320 --> 02:09:46,554 - What good would it have done you? - That's just the point. 1260 02:09:47,160 --> 02:09:50,597 You've never understood me. 1261 02:09:50,720 --> 02:09:55,397 I've suffered a great injustice, first by papa, and then by you. 1262 02:09:55,520 --> 02:09:59,719 By us who loved you more than anyone else? 1263 02:09:59,840 --> 02:10:05,393 You never loved me. You just enjoyed being in love with me. 1264 02:10:05,760 --> 02:10:08,832 What kind of talk is this? 1265 02:10:09,960 --> 02:10:15,160 When I lived at home, papa told me his opinions. 1266 02:10:15,280 --> 02:10:18,956 And then I shared his opinions. 1267 02:10:19,080 --> 02:10:22,630 If I didn't, I kept quiet. Or he wouldn't have liked it. 1268 02:10:22,760 --> 02:10:26,913 He called me his little doll and played with me like I played with my dolls. 1269 02:10:27,360 --> 02:10:31,991 - Then I came into your house... - You mean our marriage. 1270 02:10:32,160 --> 02:10:36,120 I passed from papa's hands into yours. 1271 02:10:36,240 --> 02:10:42,555 You arranged everything to suit your taste, and I had the same taste. 1272 02:10:43,960 --> 02:10:48,876 Or I pretended to. I'm not sure which. 1273 02:10:49,360 --> 02:10:55,152 Now it strikes me that I've lived here as a pauper. 1274 02:10:59,600 --> 02:11:04,436 I've lived by performing tricks for you. 1275 02:11:06,480 --> 02:11:10,315 You wanted it that way. 1276 02:11:10,920 --> 02:11:15,199 You and papa have committed a great sin against me. 1277 02:11:15,320 --> 02:11:19,872 It's your fault that I've made nothing of myself in life. 1278 02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:26,759 You're unreasonable and ungrateful. Haven't you been happy here? 1279 02:11:26,880 --> 02:11:32,433 I thought I was, but I've never been happy here. 1280 02:11:32,560 --> 02:11:35,632 Not happy? 1281 02:11:37,000 --> 02:11:40,437 Only merry. 1282 02:11:41,120 --> 02:11:44,431 You've always been kind to me. 1283 02:11:44,560 --> 02:11:50,750 But our home has never been anything but a playroom. 1284 02:11:50,880 --> 02:11:56,751 I've been your doll-wife, just as I was papa's doll-child. 1285 02:11:56,880 --> 02:12:03,195 And the children... They've been my dolls. 1286 02:12:04,440 --> 02:12:09,151 I liked it when you played with me. They liked it when I played with them. 1287 02:12:10,560 --> 02:12:15,237 That's how our marriage has been. 1288 02:12:16,160 --> 02:12:21,315 There's some truth to what you say, even though you exagerrate. 1289 02:12:21,440 --> 02:12:26,799 Things will be different from now on. It's time for learning. 1290 02:12:28,600 --> 02:12:32,560 Learning? For me or the children? 1291 02:12:32,680 --> 02:12:35,798 Both you and the children. 1292 02:12:35,920 --> 02:12:41,120 You're not the man to teach me to be a real wife for you. 1293 02:12:41,240 --> 02:12:44,790 And how well am I prepared to raise my children? 1294 02:12:44,920 --> 02:12:49,278 You said it yourself! You didn't trust me to do it. 1295 02:12:49,400 --> 02:12:54,395 - I was very distraught at the time! - You were right. I can't do it! 1296 02:12:55,480 --> 02:13:01,670 There's another task I must fi nish first. I need to educate myself. 1297 02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:05,191 You're not the man to help. I must do it alone. 1298 02:13:05,320 --> 02:13:09,030 That's why I'm leaving you. 1299 02:13:09,160 --> 02:13:12,119 What did you say? 1300 02:13:12,240 --> 02:13:17,998 I must stand alone to find out about myself. That's why I can't stay here. 1301 02:13:21,200 --> 02:13:26,320 - I'm going now. Kristine will put me up. - You're mad. I forbid it! 1302 02:13:26,440 --> 02:13:31,799 You're not forbidding me anything any longer. I'll take my own things along. 1303 02:13:34,160 --> 02:13:38,871 Tomorrow I'll go home... to my old home. I'll find something to do there. 1304 02:13:39,000 --> 02:13:44,519 - You blind, inexperienced creature! - I must get some experience. 1305 02:13:44,640 --> 02:13:48,919 But to leave your home, husband and children! 1306 02:13:49,960 --> 02:13:52,634 What will people say? 1307 02:13:52,760 --> 02:13:57,357 I can't think of them. This is necessary for me. 1308 02:13:58,840 --> 02:14:03,596 This is monstrous! Neglecting your most sacred duty... 1309 02:14:03,720 --> 02:14:06,633 What is my most sacred duty? 1310 02:14:06,760 --> 02:14:12,518 - Your duty to husband and children. - I have other duties, just as sacred. 1311 02:14:12,640 --> 02:14:17,999 - My duty to myself. - First, you're a wife and mother. 1312 02:14:18,840 --> 02:14:22,720 No, I don't believe that now. 1313 02:14:22,840 --> 02:14:28,552 I believe that before all else I'm a human being. Like you. 1314 02:14:31,200 --> 02:14:35,194 At least I will try to become one. 1315 02:14:39,120 --> 02:14:46,880 I know that most people agree with you and that they say so in books. 1316 02:14:47,440 --> 02:14:51,639 But I can't be satisfied with that. I must try to understand things by myself. 1317 02:14:52,320 --> 02:14:58,794 Understand your place in your home first! And use an infallible guide: religion. 1318 02:14:58,920 --> 02:15:02,072 But I don't know what religion is. 1319 02:15:02,200 --> 02:15:07,559 I only know what the pastor taught me for my confirmation. 1320 02:15:07,680 --> 02:15:13,551 Let me appeal to your conscience. You do have a sense of morality? 1321 02:15:13,680 --> 02:15:20,439 - Or haven't you? - I just don't know. I'm all confused. 1322 02:15:21,840 --> 02:15:28,110 I know that I think very differently about things than you do. 1323 02:15:29,120 --> 02:15:33,000 The laws are different from what I thought, - 1324 02:15:33,120 --> 02:15:38,240 - but I just can't accept that those laws are right. 1325 02:15:38,360 --> 02:15:41,592 - You don't understand society. - No, I don't. 1326 02:15:41,720 --> 02:15:45,270 But I need to learn about it. 1327 02:15:45,400 --> 02:15:49,713 I must find out who is right, society or me. 1328 02:15:49,840 --> 02:15:53,151 You're feverish, out of your senses. 1329 02:15:53,520 --> 02:15:58,993 I've never felt more certainty and clearness than tonight. 1330 02:16:00,920 --> 02:16:04,994 Clear and certain? Yet you leave husband and children? 1331 02:16:05,320 --> 02:16:07,471 Yes. 1332 02:16:07,600 --> 02:16:12,629 - There's only one explanation possible. - Which is? 1333 02:16:14,520 --> 02:16:19,879 You don't love me any more. 1334 02:16:24,000 --> 02:16:28,392 No, that's just it. 1335 02:16:33,920 --> 02:16:37,072 Nora? 1336 02:16:42,080 --> 02:16:45,073 How can you say that? 1337 02:16:45,600 --> 02:16:49,799 I'm so sorry. You've always been kind to me. 1338 02:16:49,920 --> 02:16:54,711 But I can't help it. I don't love you any more. 1339 02:16:56,800 --> 02:17:00,840 You're clear and certain about this, too? 1340 02:17:01,000 --> 02:17:05,392 Absolutely certain. That's why I can't stay any longer. 1341 02:17:07,440 --> 02:17:12,640 Tell me how I forfeited your love. 1342 02:17:13,680 --> 02:17:19,995 It was tonight when the miracle didn't happen. 1343 02:17:20,440 --> 02:17:26,676 Then I saw you aren't the man I had imagined. 1344 02:17:28,000 --> 02:17:31,277 Explain. I don't understand! 1345 02:17:31,400 --> 02:17:37,510 I waited patiently for eight years. Miracles don't happen every day. 1346 02:17:38,040 --> 02:17:42,478 Then disaster stared me in the face. 1347 02:17:42,600 --> 02:17:48,870 I was absolutely certain that the miracle finally was about to happen. 1348 02:17:49,240 --> 02:17:52,597 I never imagined you would give in to Krogstad's conditions. 1349 02:17:52,720 --> 02:17:56,919 I was absolutely certain you would say: 1350 02:17:57,400 --> 02:18:01,917 "Let the whole world know!" And then... 1351 02:18:02,280 --> 02:18:07,480 When I had exposed my own wife to disgrace! 1352 02:18:07,800 --> 02:18:11,840 Then I thought with absolute certainty- 1353 02:18:11,960 --> 02:18:17,433 - that you would take the blame and say: "I'm the guilty one." 1354 02:18:19,240 --> 02:18:24,554 You think I never would have accepted this great sacrifice? Of course not. 1355 02:18:24,680 --> 02:18:28,993 What would my word count against yours? 1356 02:18:29,120 --> 02:18:37,358 That was the miracle I hoped for - and feared. 1357 02:18:37,800 --> 02:18:42,875 To prevent that I wanted to end my life. 1358 02:18:49,160 --> 02:18:56,192 I'd gladly work day and night for you, Nora. Endure poverty and grief. 1359 02:18:56,360 --> 02:19:00,240 But no man sacrifices his honor even for the one he loves. 1360 02:19:02,800 --> 02:19:06,476 Hundred thousand women have. 1361 02:19:06,600 --> 02:19:10,992 - You think and speak like a child. - Maybe. 1362 02:19:11,120 --> 02:19:16,798 But you don't think or talk like a man I can share my life with. 1363 02:19:18,840 --> 02:19:21,799 When your panic was over, not on my behalf, - 1364 02:19:21,920 --> 02:19:24,992 - but for the threat to yourself, - 1365 02:19:25,120 --> 02:19:28,796 - it was as if nothing at all had happened. 1366 02:19:28,920 --> 02:19:33,790 I just remained your little songbird! 1367 02:19:34,320 --> 02:19:38,553 Your doll, that you would handle twice as gently- 1368 02:19:38,680 --> 02:19:42,151 - because it was so delicate and fragile. 1369 02:19:42,280 --> 02:19:49,437 At that moment I saw that for eight years I've lived here with a stranger. 1370 02:19:49,560 --> 02:19:54,715 That we've had three children.
