1
00:02:29,322 --> 00:02:31,198
Arthur.

2
00:02:44,671 --> 00:02:48,006
Metacomet, sir,
without your father's friendship,

3
00:02:48,424 --> 00:02:51,593
none of us could have survived
even our first winter.

4
00:02:56,558 --> 00:02:58,725
My father should have let you...

5
00:02:59,644 --> 00:03:00,519
die.

6
00:03:10,363 --> 00:03:11,280
You are...

7
00:03:11,906 --> 00:03:13,323
the only one...

8
00:03:14,367 --> 00:03:15,993
who comes to us...

9
00:03:16,661 --> 00:03:18,078
with an open heart.

10
00:03:20,456 --> 00:03:21,540
But your people...

11
00:03:21,833 --> 00:03:24,668
have murdered... my father...

12
00:03:25,253 --> 00:03:27,421
with their lies.

13
00:04:05,668 --> 00:04:07,211
<i>My name is Pearl.</i>

14
00:04:07,712 --> 00:04:10,923
<i>This is the story
of my mother, Hester Prynne.</i>

15
00:04:11,549 --> 00:04:15,052
<i>It was the year of our Lord 1666...</i>

16
00:04:15,345 --> 00:04:18,388
<i>when she arrived in the
Massachusetts Bay Colony...</i>

17
00:04:18,681 --> 00:04:22,684
<i>filled with hope that here, at last, in
this New World,</i>

18
00:04:22,977 --> 00:04:26,730
<i>would come the freedom to worship
without fear or persecution.</i>

19
00:04:33,321 --> 00:04:36,281
Ah, Stonehall.

20
00:04:38,451 --> 00:04:41,245
My esteemed colleague.

21
00:04:41,537 --> 00:04:43,247
Thy years of toil become thee.

22
00:04:43,539 --> 00:04:46,667
- Thy fame precedes thee, sir.
- Ohh.

23
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,669
Governor Bellingham,

24
00:04:48,962 --> 00:04:52,422
may I present
the Reverend Thomas Cheever.

25
00:04:52,715 --> 00:04:55,884
Welcome, sir. 'Tis a long voyage.

26
00:04:56,177 --> 00:04:57,928
Three months at sea...

27
00:04:58,221 --> 00:05:01,098
will either take away thy faith
or harden it to iron.

28
00:05:01,391 --> 00:05:05,435
Governor Bellingham, allow me to introduce
a young woman who's been traveling with us.

29
00:05:05,728 --> 00:05:07,604
Mistress Hester Prynne.

30
00:05:07,897 --> 00:05:11,608
Oh. I apologize for the coarseness
of my hands, mistress.

31
00:05:11,901 --> 00:05:14,194
But here in the colonies,
everyone must work.

32
00:05:14,487 --> 00:05:16,780
I look forward
to the hard work, Governor.

33
00:05:17,073 --> 00:05:20,659
As we read in Psalms 92, "I will triumph
in the works of Thy hands."

34
00:05:20,952 --> 00:05:23,328
Ah, thou canst quote
the Scriptures.

35
00:05:23,621 --> 00:05:25,622
Aye, Reverend, both testaments.

36
00:05:25,915 --> 00:05:27,624
My husband taught me.

37
00:05:27,917 --> 00:05:29,960
You must rest,
Reverend Cheever, and after,

38
00:05:30,253 --> 00:05:32,504
I look forward to showing you what has been
accomplished.
- Thank you.

39
00:05:32,797 --> 00:05:34,548
- Then 'tis "Goodwife Prynne."
- Yes, yes.

40
00:05:36,551 --> 00:05:40,053
- But I prefer to be called "Hester".
- Welcome, Hester.

41
00:05:40,346 --> 00:05:45,142
I wish I could have seen it when the first
ones came, when it was wild and untouched.

42
00:05:54,861 --> 00:05:57,362
Madam, you would do well here...

43
00:05:57,655 --> 00:06:00,490
to use less lace
in your dressmaking.

44
00:06:03,578 --> 00:06:05,454
Indeed, Reverend.

45
00:06:15,715 --> 00:06:18,008
Master of us all,

46
00:06:18,301 --> 00:06:21,678
we give thanks for
another bountiful meal...

47
00:06:21,971 --> 00:06:25,015
and for the newly arrived
disciples who-

48
00:06:25,308 --> 00:06:28,018
who share it with us this night.

49
00:06:29,812 --> 00:06:32,189
- Amen.
- Amen.

50
00:06:33,608 --> 00:06:36,360
So, Governor, I, for one,
am impatient to know...

51
00:06:36,652 --> 00:06:39,946
how your mission
to Metacomet fared.

52
00:06:40,239 --> 00:06:43,533
Well, Metacomet is not Massasoit,
Major Dunsmuir.

53
00:06:43,826 --> 00:06:46,536
I believe that if we respect
the agreements we made with his father,

54
00:06:46,829 --> 00:06:48,622
we have nothing to fear.

55
00:06:49,916 --> 00:06:51,750
Lest we should grow complacent,

56
00:06:52,043 --> 00:06:54,419
our wise God sends us a sign.

57
00:06:54,712 --> 00:06:59,424
Governor, when we sailed, your letters
assured us we were at peace with the savage.

58
00:06:59,717 --> 00:07:03,887
Well, I feel the days
of the so-called peace...

59
00:07:04,180 --> 00:07:05,889
with the Wampanoags
are at an end.

60
00:07:06,182 --> 00:07:08,183
Major, please, we're...

61
00:07:08,476 --> 00:07:10,644
We are frightening
our new arrival.

62
00:07:14,107 --> 00:07:17,025
We, uh-we hear
much talk at home...

63
00:07:17,318 --> 00:07:20,028
about your success
with the Praying Indians.

64
00:07:20,321 --> 00:07:24,408
I must say, I'm very eager to meet your
Reverend Dimmesdale and his converts.

65
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:26,451
The runts of the litter.

66
00:07:26,744 --> 00:07:29,079
Dimmesdale's little treasures.

67
00:07:29,372 --> 00:07:31,373
Some of us have other opinions.

68
00:07:33,334 --> 00:07:37,087
Mistress Prynne, I hope you will be
staying with us here...

69
00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:39,089
until your husband's arrival.

70
00:07:39,382 --> 00:07:41,091
You're most kind,
Mistress Stonehall,

71
00:07:41,384 --> 00:07:44,386
but I intend to find a house
of my own as soon as possible.

72
00:07:53,980 --> 00:07:56,857
- On thine own?
- Why, yes.

73
00:07:57,150 --> 00:08:00,277
'Tis not considered fitting for
a young woman to live alone here.

74
00:08:00,570 --> 00:08:04,656
But my husband has sent me on ahead
to prepare a place for his arrival,

75
00:08:04,949 --> 00:08:06,992
so that is what I intend to do.

76
00:08:07,285 --> 00:08:11,121
Mistress Prynne, the rules we live by
might seem arbitrary...

77
00:08:11,414 --> 00:08:13,123
to a newcomer,

78
00:08:13,416 --> 00:08:16,877
but we have learnt the hard way that
without absolute order in all matters,

79
00:08:17,170 --> 00:08:19,504
we cannot hope to survive here.

80
00:08:19,797 --> 00:08:21,548
Rules, Mistress Prynne.

81
00:08:21,841 --> 00:08:25,177
Order. Survival.

82
00:08:25,470 --> 00:08:27,679
Would you have me
disobey my husband?

83
00:08:29,223 --> 00:08:31,349
- I wou-
- Reverend Cheever,

84
00:08:31,642 --> 00:08:35,479
you might enjoy the company
of my son, Brewster.

85
00:08:35,771 --> 00:08:37,522
He studied divinity at college.

86
00:08:37,815 --> 00:08:39,941
Harvard wasn't good enough for him,

87
00:08:40,234 --> 00:08:42,235
so he came back home
to make his fortune-

88
00:08:42,528 --> 00:08:47,699
A flock of ministers' sons all moaning
the Lord's P-Prayer in their sleep.

89
00:08:47,992 --> 00:08:50,869
Everybody must find his own niche.

90
00:08:53,039 --> 00:08:56,625
- Morning, Mistress Prynne.
- Good morrow.

91
00:09:06,844 --> 00:09:10,514
So you've come among us intent
on scandalizing the town, do you?

92
00:09:10,806 --> 00:09:12,474
Giddap.

93
00:09:12,767 --> 00:09:15,560
Good.

94
00:09:15,853 --> 00:09:18,271
I confess, I'm tired of being alone...

95
00:09:18,564 --> 00:09:21,191
in a sea of yea-sayers.

96
00:09:21,484 --> 00:09:24,027
Ha! Where shall we
begin our search?

97
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,530
On the cliffs by the sea.

98
00:09:26,822 --> 00:09:28,865
No. It's out of the question.

99
00:09:29,158 --> 00:09:32,869
- Why?
- No one's lived by the sea...

100
00:09:33,162 --> 00:09:35,789
since the Indians wiped out
Ballinger's Point.

101
00:09:36,082 --> 00:09:38,124
I say we start there first.

102
00:09:38,417 --> 00:09:41,586
Well, if you've a mind to,
Mistress Prynne.

103
00:10:01,983 --> 00:10:05,110
Oh, Brewster, is that it?

104
00:10:07,822 --> 00:10:09,739
Oh, it's beautiful!

105
00:10:36,976 --> 00:10:39,436
<i>I struggle to imagine
what her life was...</i>

106
00:10:39,729 --> 00:10:42,147
<i>before she came to the New World.</i>

107
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,568
<i>Why did her husband
send her on ahead... alone?</i>

108
00:10:46,861 --> 00:10:51,114
<i>Was it a test of her loyalty
or her spirit?</i>

109
00:10:51,407 --> 00:10:54,826
<i>Or was it an aspect of his nature
to set traps for people...</i>

110
00:10:55,119 --> 00:10:57,329
<i>in the hope that they
would fall into them?</i>

111
00:11:05,755 --> 00:11:07,547
It's perfect!

112
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,258
With a cart and a good musket,
I could have a home here.

113
00:11:11,385 --> 00:11:14,888
Cart, horse, pitchfork, plow.

114
00:11:15,181 --> 00:11:17,891
I could think of so many better
things to do with these pretty hands...

115
00:11:18,184 --> 00:11:20,560
than grow calluses on them.

116
00:11:20,853 --> 00:11:22,979
I'll need indentured labor;
At least two men.

117
00:11:23,272 --> 00:11:27,776
- The land will need draining-
- You are headstrong, Mistress Prynne.

118
00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:30,528
Perhaps it runs in the blood.

119
00:11:30,821 --> 00:11:33,323
I'm told your father
was of the same temperament.

120
00:11:33,616 --> 00:11:35,575
Is it true...

121
00:11:35,868 --> 00:11:40,163
he was in debt t-to your husband
and you were made the p-payment?

122
00:11:42,041 --> 00:11:44,459
Ah, I've said something
to disturb you.

123
00:11:44,752 --> 00:11:47,712
I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.

124
00:11:49,799 --> 00:11:51,675
God, thou art wondrous fair.

125
00:11:57,973 --> 00:11:59,683
That hurt!

126
00:11:59,975 --> 00:12:02,769
Good. It will remind you
not to do that again.

127
00:12:04,563 --> 00:12:06,564
Faith! Prudence!

128
00:12:20,871 --> 00:12:24,374
Did you hear?
That Mistress Prynne has a bathing tub.

129
00:12:24,667 --> 00:12:27,127
What is she, French?

130
00:12:42,601 --> 00:12:45,061
Two. Will you bid two shillings?

131
00:12:45,354 --> 00:12:47,063
Will you bid two? Two-and-a-half.

132
00:12:47,356 --> 00:12:49,232
Come on, gentlemen.
Will you bid two-and-a-half shillings?

133
00:12:49,525 --> 00:12:52,235
Going up to three shillings.
Do I have a bid for three shillings?

134
00:12:52,528 --> 00:12:54,237
Three shillings,
three shillings!

135
00:12:54,530 --> 00:12:56,239
Any more now? Anyone else?

136
00:12:56,532 --> 00:12:59,325
Going for three shillings.
Any other bids?

137
00:12:59,618 --> 00:13:02,746
All done now! Sold to the gentleman
for three shillings.

138
00:13:03,038 --> 00:13:05,457
Next we have this other one-
Whose two.

139
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:08,251
- How much time left on their indenture?
- 'Bout three years.

140
00:13:08,544 --> 00:13:11,421
But, huh, shouldn't your husband
or your father...

141
00:13:11,714 --> 00:13:13,715
be doing business
with me here, mistress?

142
00:13:14,008 --> 00:13:16,217
Is my money no good to you, sir?

143
00:13:16,510 --> 00:13:20,096
Oh, your money's fine
as wine in the sunshine, mistress.

144
00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:24,768
If you buy them at a just price, I'll throw
in this little girl with the red kerchief.

145
00:13:25,060 --> 00:13:26,644
She's a slave.

146
00:13:26,937 --> 00:13:30,940
Ah, but she don't speak,
if that be a problem. Born that way.

147
00:13:31,233 --> 00:13:33,651
Name your just price.

148
00:14:11,023 --> 00:14:14,859
We best accompany ye if you're
going into the forest, missus.

149
00:14:15,152 --> 00:14:18,446
Don't worry, Mr. Bobbin.
I shan't go far.

150
00:16:20,694 --> 00:16:24,280
Mistress Prynne! Mistress Prynne!

151
00:16:24,573 --> 00:16:28,159
- Where are you?
- Mistress Prynne, where are you?

152
00:16:30,996 --> 00:16:32,789
I found her! I found her!

153
00:16:33,082 --> 00:16:34,791
- You did not!
- I did too!

154
00:16:35,084 --> 00:16:37,001
- You did not.
- Did too.

155
00:16:37,294 --> 00:16:39,003
Mistress Prynne,

156
00:16:39,296 --> 00:16:41,923
has thou forgotten
it is the Sabbath?

157
00:16:44,510 --> 00:16:46,386
Of course not. Forgive me.

158
00:16:46,679 --> 00:16:49,472
We have come by especially
to bring you to church.

159
00:16:51,183 --> 00:16:53,685
Thank you so much.

160
00:16:53,978 --> 00:16:57,438
Please, go on without me
and I will follow at once.

161
00:16:57,731 --> 00:17:00,191
- Make haste.
- Yes, sir.

162
00:17:23,716 --> 00:17:26,009
All right, girl.

163
00:17:26,301 --> 00:17:28,720
Come on.

164
00:17:40,566 --> 00:17:42,400
Goodness.

165
00:17:43,902 --> 00:17:47,447
Back up. Back up. All right, then.
Come on. Back up.

166
00:17:53,245 --> 00:17:55,580
Come on. Come on, now. Back up.

167
00:17:55,873 --> 00:17:57,498
Good morrow.

168
00:18:04,256 --> 00:18:06,132
May I be of assistance?

169
00:18:07,426 --> 00:18:09,218
Not from up there.

170
00:18:09,511 --> 00:18:12,013
Come on.

171
00:18:15,851 --> 00:18:18,853
Come on. Steady. Steady.

172
00:18:27,863 --> 00:18:30,073
Can't seem to make
this horse understand me.

173
00:18:30,365 --> 00:18:33,201
Here. Let me try.

174
00:18:35,662 --> 00:18:37,455
Come on, girl. Come on.

175
00:18:37,748 --> 00:18:39,874
Come on. Back up!

176
00:18:40,167 --> 00:18:42,794
Come on! Come on.

177
00:18:43,087 --> 00:18:46,172
Come on, girl. Come on.

178
00:18:50,427 --> 00:18:52,428
I'm afraid you're in too deep.

179
00:18:52,721 --> 00:18:55,181
She'll not make it.
Now let me try this.

180
00:18:58,143 --> 00:19:00,436
I do hope you can get it free.

181
00:19:00,729 --> 00:19:03,481
I'm already late for the service, and
as it is, everyone's talking about me.

182
00:19:03,774 --> 00:19:07,610
I've been away and
I'm quite behind on the local gossip.

183
00:19:07,903 --> 00:19:10,446
I bought the old Newberry place
out on Ballinger's Point.

184
00:19:10,739 --> 00:19:15,076
Then I... I owe you an apology.

185
00:19:16,411 --> 00:19:18,204
I've been trespassing.

186
00:19:18,580 --> 00:19:20,790
There's a place at the Point
where I like to bathe.

187
00:19:21,083 --> 00:19:23,876
Really? Well, I shan't charge
too steep a tariff.

188
00:19:26,004 --> 00:19:28,047
Come on, girl. Back up.

189
00:19:28,340 --> 00:19:30,049
Oh, back up.

190
00:19:30,342 --> 00:19:32,552
One, two-

191
00:19:34,888 --> 00:19:37,640
Two, three.

192
00:19:43,397 --> 00:19:46,149
I'm afraid this cart will be
stuck here until Sabbath next...

193
00:19:46,441 --> 00:19:49,193
unless I can gather
some hands to help.

194
00:19:49,486 --> 00:19:51,863
Would you care to ride with me?

195
00:19:52,156 --> 00:19:53,698
On your horse with you?

196
00:19:53,991 --> 00:19:56,159
Aye. Unless you can ride.

197
00:19:57,786 --> 00:19:59,704
I can ride.

198
00:19:59,997 --> 00:20:02,456
You take my horse,
and I'll take yours.

199
00:20:02,749 --> 00:20:08,004
There's a, a shorter cut to the meeting
house, but it's difficult ground.

200
00:20:08,297 --> 00:20:10,590
I shall manage, sir.

201
00:20:14,887 --> 00:20:17,013
Are you certain?

202
00:20:17,306 --> 00:20:19,891
Just you lead the way.

203
00:20:26,398 --> 00:20:28,733
Come on! Come on!

204
00:20:43,999 --> 00:20:46,626
Come on! Come on.

205
00:21:02,059 --> 00:21:04,518
May God be with you.

206
00:21:04,811 --> 00:21:06,562
I'm sure He already is.

207
00:21:08,565 --> 00:21:10,775
But aren't you coming to the-

208
00:21:32,130 --> 00:21:33,965
Good Sabbath to you all.

209
00:21:41,473 --> 00:21:45,476
Friends and fellow voyagers...

210
00:21:45,769 --> 00:21:47,979
in the greatest of all dreams,

211
00:21:49,273 --> 00:21:52,441
we have been singled out
like Israel of old...

212
00:21:52,734 --> 00:21:55,569
to serve as a model.

213
00:21:55,862 --> 00:21:58,239
But if we are to succeed...

214
00:21:58,532 --> 00:22:01,409
in building our new Jerusalem,

215
00:22:01,702 --> 00:22:05,162
our city on a hill,

216
00:22:05,455 --> 00:22:07,248
then the power of love,

217
00:22:09,668 --> 00:22:14,088
yea, His divine love,
must bind our hearts as one.

218
00:22:14,381 --> 00:22:17,800
English and Indian,

219
00:22:18,093 --> 00:22:20,928
gentry and indentured,
free man and slave.

220
00:22:21,221 --> 00:22:23,848
And make of us an example...

221
00:22:24,141 --> 00:22:27,935
for all the world
to marvel at and proclaim,

222
00:22:28,228 --> 00:22:30,521
"Here...

223
00:22:30,814 --> 00:22:33,649
"is the measure of perfection.

224
00:22:33,942 --> 00:22:35,818
"Here...

225
00:22:36,111 --> 00:22:38,362
"lives Gods own."

226
00:22:38,655 --> 00:22:40,948
But we are not succeeding
in that test.

227
00:22:41,241 --> 00:22:44,327
We are failing in that test.
And why?

228
00:22:44,619 --> 00:22:47,496
Because we covet, nay,

229
00:22:47,789 --> 00:22:51,500
we lust after what is not ours,

230
00:22:51,793 --> 00:22:54,128
be it the rich land
of our Indian brothers,

231
00:22:54,421 --> 00:22:57,048
be it for glory,

232
00:22:57,341 --> 00:23:00,176
for profit or for revenge.

233
00:23:00,469 --> 00:23:04,930
Need I read the secrets
of every heart?

234
00:23:05,223 --> 00:23:07,224
Yea, I will if you want.

235
00:23:07,517 --> 00:23:10,144
- Yea, I will if you want.
- I will lay open thy secrets...

236
00:23:10,437 --> 00:23:12,605
- before the eyes of God.
- I will lay open thy secrets...

237
00:23:12,898 --> 00:23:15,733
before the eyes of God!

238
00:23:16,026 --> 00:23:19,111
"Whatsoever thou lusteth after
is Mine enemy, " sayeth the Lord God,

239
00:23:19,404 --> 00:23:24,742
"for only I shall consume thee;
Only I shall fill thee up.

240
00:23:26,411 --> 00:23:29,413
"If thou failest to heed
My commandments,

241
00:23:29,706 --> 00:23:32,917
"then My fist
shall descend on thee...

242
00:23:33,210 --> 00:23:35,628
"like a stone.

243
00:23:35,921 --> 00:23:38,547
"And My sword shall cut thee
into bloody parts.

244
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,550
"And even thy memory shall be
sacrificed to the winds...

245
00:23:41,843 --> 00:23:44,387
for all time."

246
00:23:44,679 --> 00:23:46,430
May God bless you,

247
00:23:48,266 --> 00:23:50,267
each and every one of you.

248
00:23:51,603 --> 00:23:54,522
- Amen.
- Amen.

249
00:23:54,815 --> 00:23:59,235
Arthur, allow me to present
a newcomer to our congregation,

250
00:23:59,528 --> 00:24:02,071
Mistress Roger Prynne.

251
00:24:02,364 --> 00:24:04,698
Mistress Roger... - Aye, her husband,
a most renowned physician,

252
00:24:04,991 --> 00:24:07,743
will be joining her... Reverend
Dimmesdale and I have already...

253
00:24:08,036 --> 00:24:11,163
I helped Mistress Prynne.
Her cart got stuck in the woods.

254
00:24:13,625 --> 00:24:16,085
I greatly enjoyed your sermon.

255
00:24:16,378 --> 00:24:20,297
It's rare for a man so young
to speak with such force of passion.

256
00:24:21,967 --> 00:24:26,387
Well, for some reason, I...
I felt most inspired today.

257
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,057
We welcome you and your husband...
to our congregation.

258
00:24:33,478 --> 00:24:36,105
Mother! Father! Can we play?

259
00:24:46,283 --> 00:24:48,075
Ah, there you are, Hester.

260
00:24:48,368 --> 00:24:50,536
Meet my friend Running Moose.
He's our schoolmaster.

261
00:24:50,829 --> 00:24:53,038
- And I'm sure you'd like some refreshment.
- Why, yes.

262
00:24:53,331 --> 00:24:56,041
Do you teach the English children
as well, Mr. Running Moose?

263
00:24:56,334 --> 00:24:58,377
They call me John or Johnny
here in town.

264
00:24:58,670 --> 00:25:01,797
We try our best, but the English
are a bit slow-witted.

265
00:25:02,090 --> 00:25:04,592
- Slow-witted?
- Johnny's a bit of a jester,

266
00:25:04,885 --> 00:25:07,470
- but he was our first Praying Indian.
- Ahh.

267
00:25:07,762 --> 00:25:10,139
Ah, my best friend
in the colony.

268
00:25:10,432 --> 00:25:15,311
- Arthur, this is Mistress...
- Yes, we've already met.

269
00:25:15,604 --> 00:25:17,396
Excuse me.

270
00:25:23,528 --> 00:25:25,321
So like home.

271
00:25:25,614 --> 00:25:29,408
And yet beyond those trees,
I suspect a savage land...

272
00:25:29,701 --> 00:25:31,494
- of savage passions.
- All right?

273
00:25:31,786 --> 00:25:33,579
Dark and untamed.

274
00:25:35,207 --> 00:25:38,167
Oh, Reverend Dimmesdale,
have you met our young friend?

275
00:25:38,460 --> 00:25:43,756
Yes, we did. - Yes, Mistress Prynne
and I traveled on the same ship.

276
00:25:44,049 --> 00:25:46,509
- I'm going to marry him one day.
- No, you're not!

277
00:25:46,801 --> 00:25:49,929
I'm going to marry him, aren't I,
Mistress Prynne? - Marry whom?

278
00:25:50,222 --> 00:25:53,807
Rev. Dimmesdale, of course.

279
00:26:12,035 --> 00:26:15,913
Short Description of the
Great and Last judgment. Hmm.

280
00:26:16,206 --> 00:26:20,459
Oh, well.
A Platform for Church Discipline.

281
00:26:20,752 --> 00:26:23,712
Oh, they're all tracts.

282
00:26:30,136 --> 00:26:34,723
- The Good Wife's Manual...
- Manual for Animal Husbandry.

283
00:26:35,016 --> 00:26:36,725
I believe we've already met.

284
00:26:37,018 --> 00:26:39,228
Uh, yes. I-I'm sorry.
I- I didn't realize-

285
00:26:39,521 --> 00:26:41,397
No, no, no. I should've
announced my presence.

286
00:26:47,988 --> 00:26:49,905
Wh-What are you reading?

287
00:26:50,198 --> 00:26:52,783
- Uh, Camus. It's by John Mil-
- John Milton.

288
00:26:53,076 --> 00:26:55,953
- Yes, I know. I-I've read it.
- Have you?

289
00:26:56,246 --> 00:26:58,706
Well, I'm not all
counterpanes and coverlets.

290
00:26:58,999 --> 00:27:01,083
In every spare moment,
I am reading something.

291
00:27:02,586 --> 00:27:04,378
I'm the same.

292
00:27:04,671 --> 00:27:08,007
I've read every book in this room,
some of them several times.

293
00:27:08,300 --> 00:27:10,759
Even The Good Wife's Manual
for Animal Husbandry?

294
00:27:11,052 --> 00:27:12,761
A most exhilarating read.

295
00:27:24,983 --> 00:27:28,569
So... did you
truly enjoy my sermon?

296
00:27:28,862 --> 00:27:33,949
Oh, yes. It was most skillful. Clearly
your congregation reverences you.

297
00:27:34,242 --> 00:27:38,329
Obviously we don't come up to your London
standards here on the outskirts of the world.

298
00:27:38,622 --> 00:27:41,749
On the contrary, I was moved
by your passion, as I've said and-

299
00:27:43,335 --> 00:27:45,169
And?

300
00:27:47,047 --> 00:27:48,922
Uh, well.

301
00:27:51,343 --> 00:27:53,969
When your fist
struck your hand...

302
00:27:54,262 --> 00:27:57,264
and sliced through the air
like a sword,

303
00:27:57,557 --> 00:27:59,808
I found myself wondering...

304
00:28:00,101 --> 00:28:03,479
what manner of pain lay
beneath such forceful oratory.

305
00:28:05,815 --> 00:28:09,109
Your tongue knows no rules,
Mistress Prynne.

306
00:28:10,820 --> 00:28:14,281
And if it did, Reverend,
what purpose would it serve?

307
00:28:16,076 --> 00:28:21,330
And here I thought comprehending God
was going to be my greatest challenge.

308
00:28:29,506 --> 00:28:32,341
Yes, Reverend?

309
00:28:32,634 --> 00:28:36,845
This morning in the forest, why did you
not say that you were married?

310
00:28:37,138 --> 00:28:39,139
Why did you not say
you were a minister?

311
00:28:41,017 --> 00:28:43,602
Good day, Mistress Prynne.

312
00:28:55,573 --> 00:28:57,866
Good morrow, Mistress Prynne!

313
00:28:58,159 --> 00:29:00,994
- Good morrow.
- Do you care for a cup of cider?

314
00:29:01,287 --> 00:29:03,622
We are your neighbors, it seems.

315
00:29:03,915 --> 00:29:06,709
Did you like the sermon
this morning?

316
00:29:07,001 --> 00:29:10,170
From where I sat,
it seemed it did please thee.

317
00:29:10,463 --> 00:29:13,048
I liked it very much.

318
00:29:13,341 --> 00:29:16,218
- I thought the young minister very-
- Handsome?

319
00:29:18,304 --> 00:29:21,098
Harriet Hibbons.

320
00:29:24,227 --> 00:29:25,686
Ruth?

321
00:29:27,147 --> 00:29:28,939
How do you do?

322
00:29:29,232 --> 00:29:31,734
Come and meet some of the others
who were not invited...

323
00:29:32,026 --> 00:29:34,236
to the governor's little shindig.

324
00:29:34,529 --> 00:29:36,655
Sally Short, Mistress Prynne.

325
00:29:36,948 --> 00:29:39,616
- How do you do?
- I was on the dock when you arrived.

326
00:29:39,909 --> 00:29:41,702
Mary Rollings.

327
00:29:42,996 --> 00:29:46,498
Uh, Mary don't like
to speak too much.

328
00:29:46,791 --> 00:29:50,002
She's only been free
from the savages this half year.

329
00:29:50,295 --> 00:29:54,590
And Matona, she don't trust
the English, do you, dear?

330
00:29:54,883 --> 00:29:56,675
Mistress Prynne.

331
00:29:56,968 --> 00:29:58,802
Thank you, no. I never imbibe.

332
00:30:04,017 --> 00:30:06,268
I see you've gathered
some fine balm of Gilead,

333
00:30:06,561 --> 00:30:08,937
shepherd's purse, yarrow.

334
00:30:09,230 --> 00:30:10,939
You know your simples?

335
00:30:11,232 --> 00:30:13,233
Oh, I can recite
Culpeper by heart.

336
00:30:14,569 --> 00:30:16,445
Really?

337
00:30:19,824 --> 00:30:23,243
What simples would you use
to heal a bad burn?

338
00:30:23,536 --> 00:30:25,954
Well, I have seen sweet fern
work miracles,

339
00:30:26,247 --> 00:30:28,332
but Culpeper suggests
blackberry and red cedar.

340
00:30:28,625 --> 00:30:30,584
Well, you hear that?

341
00:30:33,004 --> 00:30:34,797
Well, I feel quite fortunate.

342
00:30:35,089 --> 00:30:38,592
My husband has a very large library,
and I was able to school myself.

343
00:30:38,885 --> 00:30:41,136
How do you like our new Jerusalem?

344
00:30:42,472 --> 00:30:44,306
Sober enough for you?

345
00:30:48,061 --> 00:30:50,187
Aye.

346
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,439
Sober enough.

347
00:30:56,069 --> 00:30:59,363
What I miss is the dancing.

348
00:30:59,656 --> 00:31:02,366
- Dancing?
- When first we came,

349
00:31:02,659 --> 00:31:05,077
we'd dance around the maypole.

350
00:31:05,370 --> 00:31:07,996
Feast days, we'd sing bawdy songs.

351
00:31:08,289 --> 00:31:10,082
People weren't afraid
to play the fool.

352
00:31:10,375 --> 00:31:12,876
We'd teach the bears to dance.

353
00:31:13,169 --> 00:31:17,339
Nowadays everybody's getting
more sour-faced and ponderous.

354
00:31:17,632 --> 00:31:21,260
And a whipping post stands
where the maypole used to be.

355
00:31:21,553 --> 00:31:25,347
Well, there be a few of us who haven't
forgotten how to laugh, eh, girl?

356
00:31:29,978 --> 00:31:32,104
It's been such a pleasure
meeting you all.

357
00:31:32,397 --> 00:31:35,607
I'm sorry I must take my leave,
but I best be on my way.

358
00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:38,193
I would not want to be stuck
in the wilds at night.

359
00:31:38,486 --> 00:31:40,696
How strange that sounds to me.

360
00:31:40,989 --> 00:31:43,282
The wilds at night
are my natural territory,

361
00:31:43,575 --> 00:31:46,118
particularly when
there's a full moon.

362
00:31:46,411 --> 00:31:49,121
Do you try to frighten me
with this witch talk?

363
00:31:49,414 --> 00:31:52,916
Not so, Mistress Prynne.

364
00:31:53,209 --> 00:31:56,628
But I can see
what others cannot.

365
00:31:56,921 --> 00:31:59,548
It be a curse, to be sure,

366
00:31:59,841 --> 00:32:02,551
but I know the hearts of men.

367
00:32:03,970 --> 00:32:05,846
And what does my heart tell you?

368
00:32:08,433 --> 00:32:12,227
You're a most comely woman,
Mistress Prynne.

369
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:16,231
But let a man tremble
who wins the hand of a maid,

370
00:32:16,524 --> 00:32:20,485
but possesses not
the full passion of her heart.

371
00:32:24,782 --> 00:32:26,992
My husband has nothing to fear.

372
00:32:28,161 --> 00:32:30,037
Good day, Mistress Hibbons.

373
00:32:33,708 --> 00:32:35,584
Good day, Mistress Prynne.

374
00:32:57,315 --> 00:32:59,107
Oh, good day, Goody Gotwick.

375
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,735
I've brought these
for Rev. Dimmesdale.

376
00:33:02,028 --> 00:33:04,446
The Reverend be occupied
with his work, missus.

377
00:33:04,739 --> 00:33:08,033
Leave them books on that table.
I'll be sure he gets them.

378
00:33:12,789 --> 00:33:14,581
Good morrow,
Reverend Dimmesdale.

379
00:33:14,874 --> 00:33:17,250
Oh, good morrow, Mistress Prynne.

380
00:33:17,543 --> 00:33:20,087
Knowing how you hunger
for new reading,

381
00:33:20,380 --> 00:33:22,923
I've brought you some books
from my husband's library.

382
00:33:24,342 --> 00:33:27,219
Hmm. How courteous of you.

383
00:33:30,682 --> 00:33:32,557
Please.

384
00:33:38,773 --> 00:33:42,985
I must apologize for my
forthrightness on Sabbath last.

385
00:33:43,277 --> 00:33:46,905
I've earned more than a few reprimands
in my life for speaking too bluntly.

386
00:33:48,866 --> 00:33:52,452
Well, I owe an apology too.

387
00:33:52,745 --> 00:33:56,456
Um, I-I can't understand
why I took such offense...

388
00:33:56,749 --> 00:33:59,584
to such an innocent comment.

389
00:34:01,796 --> 00:34:04,006
I- I have wondered...

390
00:34:05,425 --> 00:34:08,719
how you were able to, uh,

391
00:34:09,012 --> 00:34:10,804
see so deeply...

392
00:34:11,097 --> 00:34:12,806
into my nature.

393
00:34:13,099 --> 00:34:15,600
Perhaps I'm a witch.

394
00:34:28,948 --> 00:34:31,575
I must be keeping you
from your chores.

395
00:34:31,868 --> 00:34:35,203
Oh. There. Thank you
for the books, Mistress Prynne.

396
00:34:35,496 --> 00:34:37,998
Good day. Oh.

397
00:34:38,291 --> 00:34:41,543
I'm sorry.
My hands are covered in ink.

398
00:34:41,836 --> 00:34:44,588
I've been, uh,

399
00:34:44,881 --> 00:34:47,966
hovered over my translations all day.

400
00:34:48,259 --> 00:34:50,260
- Translations?
- Aye.

401
00:34:50,553 --> 00:34:52,429
I'm attempting to, um.

402
00:34:52,722 --> 00:34:56,767
Translate the Bible into the local
Indian language, Algonquin.

403
00:34:57,060 --> 00:35:00,228
What an ambitious undertaking.

404
00:35:00,521 --> 00:35:03,398
But I'm told the Indians
don't want to be guided by our Bible,

405
00:35:03,691 --> 00:35:05,400
that war with them is inevitable.

406
00:35:05,693 --> 00:35:08,070
Some think that way,
but they're wrong.

407
00:35:08,362 --> 00:35:11,406
It's just that the Indians, having been
born from a certain liberty,

408
00:35:11,699 --> 00:35:14,284
they take not easily
to the bridle and bit.

409
00:35:14,577 --> 00:35:16,369
No man should.

410
00:35:17,997 --> 00:35:19,873
Yes.

411
00:35:27,090 --> 00:35:31,259
What? What?

412
00:35:33,221 --> 00:35:35,138
You keep putting ink
on your face.

413
00:35:35,431 --> 00:35:37,933
I do? I'm sor-

414
00:35:44,649 --> 00:35:46,483
There you are.

415
00:35:51,364 --> 00:35:53,532
I do hope you enjoy the books.

416
00:35:53,825 --> 00:35:55,951
Uh, d-Thank you.

417
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,123
Good day.

418
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:28,984
Mituba.

419
00:36:31,404 --> 00:36:35,407
'Tis only a bathing tub,
not a toy of Satan.

420
00:39:37,131 --> 00:39:38,923
Mistress Prynne.

421
00:39:41,635 --> 00:39:43,345
Reverend Dimmesdale.

422
00:39:43,637 --> 00:39:45,555
You frightened me.

423
00:39:45,848 --> 00:39:47,724
Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

424
00:39:48,017 --> 00:39:51,644
No. It's a wonderful surprise.

425
00:39:54,774 --> 00:39:56,816
- It's beautiful.
- Ah, yes, and frightening.

426
00:39:58,402 --> 00:40:00,862
Just as Eden must have been.

427
00:40:01,155 --> 00:40:03,531
So untouched.

428
00:40:03,824 --> 00:40:06,326
Does it not cry out
with its promise...

429
00:40:06,619 --> 00:40:08,870
that here everything
can begin anew?

430
00:40:12,041 --> 00:40:14,709
I brought back your books.

431
00:40:15,002 --> 00:40:17,253
You couldn't have read
them all in four days.

432
00:40:17,546 --> 00:40:21,341
No, I did. I did.
I read most of them twice.

433
00:40:24,428 --> 00:40:26,638
Thank you.

434
00:40:26,931 --> 00:40:29,474
You're welcome.

435
00:40:29,767 --> 00:40:31,559
Farewell.

436
00:40:38,984 --> 00:40:42,737
Hester,
I- I'm not the man I seem.

437
00:40:44,657 --> 00:40:47,367
I've lived in this township
my whole life,

438
00:40:47,660 --> 00:40:49,536
my purpose clear.

439
00:40:49,829 --> 00:40:53,873
But now I would risk everything-
my life, my ministry, my soul-

440
00:40:54,166 --> 00:40:56,167
just to spend a few moments
alone with you.

441
00:40:58,003 --> 00:41:01,756
God help me, Hester,
I love thee.

442
00:41:05,094 --> 00:41:07,429
God help me, I love thee too.

443
00:41:11,642 --> 00:41:14,644
Oh, God, have we lost our way?

444
00:41:14,937 --> 00:41:16,729
No.

445
00:41:19,442 --> 00:41:21,818
I dreamed of thee
speaking thy heart.

446
00:41:22,111 --> 00:41:25,405
I have prayed for it
even as I have dreaded it.

447
00:41:27,158 --> 00:41:31,536
Was I alive
before I laid eyes on thee?

448
00:41:37,293 --> 00:41:39,127
What shall we do?

449
00:41:40,629 --> 00:41:42,464
I know not.

450
00:41:44,175 --> 00:41:48,720
Say something to end it,
for I-I have not the power.

451
00:41:50,473 --> 00:41:52,307
Nor I.

452
00:41:59,482 --> 00:42:01,316
Nay.

453
00:42:02,693 --> 00:42:05,528
We could be hanged for this.

454
00:42:14,538 --> 00:42:18,416
I- I've put you
in too much danger.

455
00:42:18,709 --> 00:42:22,921
And I must end it by walking away now
and never speaking with you again.

456
00:42:29,970 --> 00:42:32,847
Go, then.

457
00:42:33,140 --> 00:42:35,642
Do as you promised.

458
00:43:26,610 --> 00:43:29,529
<i>Throughout the long summer,
Mistress Prynne and Reverend Dimmesdale...</i>

459
00:43:29,822 --> 00:43:32,365
<i>avoided each other at all costs.</i>

460
00:43:32,658 --> 00:43:34,617
<i>Mistress Prynne
rarely ventured into town...</i>

461
00:43:34,910 --> 00:43:37,704
<i>and the Reverend escaped
into the wilds with only the Indians...</i>

462
00:43:37,997 --> 00:43:40,665
<i>and the faithful Johnny Sassamon
for company.</i>

463
00:43:44,962 --> 00:43:49,090
<i>And so the colony held
its annual election day as usual,</i>

464
00:43:49,383 --> 00:43:51,426
<i>no one the wiser that
there existed among them...</i>

465
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,262
<i>two hearts struggling
against a love...</i>

466
00:43:54,555 --> 00:43:58,308
<i>- that grew stronger with each passing day.
- Company, halt!</i>

467
00:44:06,525 --> 00:44:10,361
Johnny Sassamon, Reverend,
Intrepid.

468
00:44:10,654 --> 00:44:14,115
What's he saying, Arthur?

469
00:44:14,408 --> 00:44:17,201
The Tarrantines attacked
an English ship,

470
00:44:17,494 --> 00:44:19,287
the Intrepid.

471
00:44:20,581 --> 00:44:22,665
All were massacred.

472
00:44:36,388 --> 00:44:38,556
Prynne.

473
00:44:38,849 --> 00:44:40,642
Dr. Roger Prynne.

474
00:45:15,886 --> 00:45:18,179
Mistress Prynne.

475
00:45:18,472 --> 00:45:21,265
Uh, I'm here as your minister.

476
00:45:24,645 --> 00:45:26,521
Come in.

477
00:45:37,491 --> 00:45:40,034
There was an attack,
an Indian attack,

478
00:45:40,327 --> 00:45:42,120
on one of our ships.

479
00:45:44,206 --> 00:45:46,541
They say that, uh.

480
00:45:46,834 --> 00:45:49,127
All aboard were massacred.

481
00:45:58,929 --> 00:46:04,308
I regret to be the-
the one to bring you this sad news.

482
00:46:04,601 --> 00:46:07,562
- I'll-I'll leave you to your mourning.
- No.

483
00:46:10,774 --> 00:46:14,402
Are you absolutely
certain none survived?

484
00:46:14,695 --> 00:46:17,947
They say that the tide
washed away the bodies.

485
00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:20,408
Oh, God forgive me.

486
00:46:20,701 --> 00:46:23,161
- I have prayed for so long to be set free.
- No.

487
00:46:23,454 --> 00:46:26,080
You did not cause
his death, Hester.

488
00:46:28,167 --> 00:46:30,793
God took your husband.

489
00:46:31,086 --> 00:46:35,131
Yes, but was it in answer to my prayers?
Does He work like that?

490
00:46:39,636 --> 00:46:42,722
Perhaps.

491
00:46:43,015 --> 00:46:47,435
If, in His eyes, there was no other way
that we could be together.

492
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,820
I must know what the law is.

493
00:46:58,113 --> 00:47:00,656
The period of mourning-
How long must one wait?

494
00:47:00,949 --> 00:47:03,367
One month, six months, what?

495
00:47:06,163 --> 00:47:09,999
Well, in cases where there's
no absolute proof of death,

496
00:47:12,503 --> 00:47:16,714
seven years must pass before
we are free to be seen in public.

497
00:47:17,007 --> 00:47:18,800
Seven years?

498
00:47:21,136 --> 00:47:23,471
Aye.

499
00:53:50,901 --> 00:53:53,903
Release me or the army will follow.

500
00:54:17,928 --> 00:54:20,721
Were the Indians cruel to you, Mary?

501
00:54:21,014 --> 00:54:23,724
After my little one died,

502
00:54:24,017 --> 00:54:27,144
they treated me real fair and square.

503
00:54:27,437 --> 00:54:29,146
If truth be told,

504
00:54:29,439 --> 00:54:34,026
what's cruel is how ye folks
have treated me since I come home.

505
00:54:34,319 --> 00:54:37,738
I didn't do nothin'
that wasn't forced upon me.

506
00:54:38,031 --> 00:54:41,033
Just the thought of
being taken by a savage...

507
00:54:41,326 --> 00:54:43,744
makes me sick to my stomach.

508
00:54:44,037 --> 00:54:47,248
Well, they do it
on the backs of their horses,

509
00:54:47,540 --> 00:54:49,291
riding lickety-split
across the land.

510
00:54:53,922 --> 00:54:55,714
Hester, you all right?

511
00:54:56,007 --> 00:54:58,509
Yes, I'm well. Just tired.

512
00:55:03,515 --> 00:55:05,808
Mary's right.

513
00:55:06,101 --> 00:55:07,977
You call them savages?

514
00:55:08,270 --> 00:55:11,480
I could tell you a thing or two
about your late husband...

515
00:55:11,773 --> 00:55:14,483
before he tied the knot with you.

516
00:55:14,776 --> 00:55:16,485
You stupid slut.

517
00:55:16,778 --> 00:55:20,072
Harold would never have
had nothin' to do with no whore.

518
00:55:20,365 --> 00:55:22,074
Oh, you think not?

519
00:55:22,367 --> 00:55:25,577
I've even seen one of
your windy ministers...

520
00:55:25,870 --> 00:55:28,580
pokin' an in jun girl.

521
00:55:28,873 --> 00:55:31,792
And standin' on a Bible
so he could roger her better.

522
00:55:32,085 --> 00:55:35,045
They always said the Scriptures
should uplift you.

523
00:55:42,512 --> 00:55:47,391
I refuse to be in the same room
with those who would mock the Holy Book.

524
00:55:53,857 --> 00:55:55,649
Well, well.

525
00:55:55,942 --> 00:55:58,944
- She'll not be coming back soon.
- Good riddance to her.

526
00:55:59,237 --> 00:56:03,407
We Quakers believe that the Scriptures
be not religion in itself,

527
00:56:03,700 --> 00:56:06,410
but only the ceremony
and history of it.

528
00:56:06,703 --> 00:56:08,412
I agree.

529
00:56:08,705 --> 00:56:11,915
For are not the laws of men
but the imagination of mortals...

530
00:56:12,208 --> 00:56:15,419
and our inner spirit
the true voice from heaven?

531
00:56:15,712 --> 00:56:19,256
Hester, I pray you're not suggesting
you talk directly to-

532
00:56:19,549 --> 00:56:21,258
to the Deity?

533
00:56:21,551 --> 00:56:25,262
Don't you know that only
well-paid Bible-thumpers can do that?

534
00:56:25,555 --> 00:56:28,766
Have a care, child,

535
00:56:29,059 --> 00:56:32,353
or they'll be talking of thee
the way they talk of me.

536
00:56:32,645 --> 00:56:37,900
Well, I know some consider it blasphemous
to say this, but I do talk to God.

537
00:56:38,193 --> 00:56:40,903
I have since I was
a small child.

538
00:56:41,196 --> 00:56:42,988
And He answers me.

539
00:56:59,964 --> 00:57:02,007
Mrs. Roger Prynne.

540
00:57:02,300 --> 00:57:05,052
By order of the governor of
the Massachusetts Bay Colony,

541
00:57:05,345 --> 00:57:08,430
you are ordered to appear
before the elders and magistrates...

542
00:57:08,723 --> 00:57:10,349
at 8:00 tomorrow morn.

543
00:57:15,230 --> 00:57:17,064
Do not be tardy.

544
00:57:19,818 --> 00:57:24,613
Mistress Prynne, these gentlemen
lay a charge of heresy against you.

545
00:57:24,906 --> 00:57:28,742
Did you tell the others that the laws of
men are but the imagination of mortals?

546
00:57:29,035 --> 00:57:31,245
It is the meetings you call heresy?

547
00:57:31,538 --> 00:57:33,747
Lascivious talk
of fornication with savages;

548
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:37,251
Fallen women telling blasphemous lies
about good citizens.

549
00:57:37,544 --> 00:57:40,587
This is what comes when there is
no qualified man present...

550
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,590
to guide these women in
their untutored chatterings.

551
00:57:43,883 --> 00:57:47,845
Sir, if the discourse of women
is "untutored chatterings, "

552
00:57:48,138 --> 00:57:51,932
why then does the Bible tell us that
women shall be the teachers of women?

553
00:57:58,189 --> 00:58:00,983
Hester, we ask that
you cease these meetings.

554
00:58:01,276 --> 00:58:05,446
- No, sirs, I will not stop the meetings.
- Arthur. Please join us.

555
00:58:07,574 --> 00:58:10,367
I've just returned
from fishing, sir.

556
00:58:10,660 --> 00:58:13,370
You may thank me to remain where I am.

557
00:58:13,663 --> 00:58:16,248
- Very well. Be seated.
- Let's call our first witness.

558
00:58:16,541 --> 00:58:18,250
Is it truly of import?

559
00:58:18,543 --> 00:58:21,253
Yes. Yes, it is of great consequence.

560
00:58:21,546 --> 00:58:23,755
Very well. Call your witnesses.

561
00:58:24,048 --> 00:58:26,967
Goody Gotwick.

562
00:58:27,260 --> 00:58:29,720
Stand up, please, Goody.

563
00:58:30,013 --> 00:58:33,348
Now, you revealed to my wife
something most disturbing.

564
00:58:33,641 --> 00:58:36,268
Tell me,
what does it mean when...

565
00:58:36,561 --> 00:58:38,270
a woman...

566
00:58:38,563 --> 00:58:40,522
vomits... in the morning hours,

567
00:58:40,815 --> 00:58:46,069
and vomits on more than one occasion
in the morning hours?

568
00:58:46,362 --> 00:58:49,239
I only saw her the one time.

569
00:58:50,742 --> 00:58:52,659
Yes? And?

570
00:58:56,414 --> 00:59:00,167
Um, twas Goody Mortimer
saw her get sick in the market.

571
00:59:05,757 --> 00:59:07,799
Are you with child, Mistress?

572
00:59:09,969 --> 00:59:11,845
Answer your betters, woman!

573
00:59:14,015 --> 00:59:18,060
Do you carry a bastard child
in your womb?

574
00:59:30,114 --> 00:59:31,990
Yes.

575
00:59:37,622 --> 00:59:39,498
Who is the father?

576
00:59:42,627 --> 00:59:46,838
You are an innocent next to the one
who would hide behind your skirts.

577
00:59:47,131 --> 00:59:49,883
We would hang that fornicator
by the neck.

578
00:59:51,970 --> 00:59:54,846
I will not reveal the name, sir.

579
00:59:57,725 --> 01:00:00,060
I will tell you his name.

580
01:00:04,774 --> 01:00:06,900
His name is Lucifer.

581
01:00:07,193 --> 01:00:09,611
His name is Lust.

582
01:00:09,904 --> 01:00:13,115
His name is Legion!

583
01:00:13,408 --> 01:00:15,200
Gentlemen.

584
01:00:18,621 --> 01:00:20,914
Gentlemen, what do you hope
to accomplish with this?

585
01:00:21,207 --> 01:00:24,751
You know very well there's no law against
pregnancy. - But there is against adultery.

586
01:00:25,044 --> 01:00:27,796
It would only be adultery
if her husband would prove to be alive.

587
01:00:29,966 --> 01:00:32,259
"Answer your betters, woman!

588
01:00:32,552 --> 01:00:36,471
"Are you carrying a bastard child?"

589
01:00:36,764 --> 01:00:39,975
We could incarcerate her under adultery,
and the meetings will stop.

590
01:00:40,268 --> 01:00:42,978
Governor, if you knew
the name of this man,

591
01:00:43,271 --> 01:00:46,148
would you still place
Hester Prynne behind bars?

592
01:00:46,441 --> 01:00:49,359
- Has she confessed the name to you?
- I've confessed nothing.

593
01:00:49,652 --> 01:00:51,903
- He knows nothing of my personal affairs!
- Give us the truth!

594
01:00:52,196 --> 01:00:55,157
He speaks as my pastor
to spare me your harsh hand,

595
01:00:55,450 --> 01:00:57,159
but I fear not your punishments.

596
01:00:57,452 --> 01:01:00,245
I love and honor the man
who has fathered this child.

597
01:01:00,538 --> 01:01:02,748
And say what you will,

598
01:01:03,041 --> 01:01:05,334
he is my true husband for life,

599
01:01:05,627 --> 01:01:09,046
and I shall furnish you with no
information which might cause him harm.

600
01:01:10,340 --> 01:01:13,133
Very well, Mistress,
you leave me no choice.

601
01:01:13,426 --> 01:01:15,218
You are under arrest.

602
01:01:16,679 --> 01:01:19,514
It's Hester!

603
01:01:30,234 --> 01:01:32,027
God forgives you!

604
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,821
And there's your new Jerusalem!

605
01:01:35,114 --> 01:01:37,699
Just let me have a moment alone
with the woman, man!

606
01:01:37,992 --> 01:01:40,202
I'm sure I'd draw
the name from her.

607
01:01:40,495 --> 01:01:43,205
Very well, Arthur.
You shall have your chance, I promise.

608
01:01:43,498 --> 01:01:45,207
Gentlemen!

609
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:48,210
I have considered all the arguments
and I have decided...

610
01:01:48,503 --> 01:01:51,630
that Arthur must be allowed to speak to
Mistress Prynne alone. - No, no, no.

611
01:02:02,392 --> 01:02:06,186
Hester Prynne, place your hand
on the good book...

612
01:02:06,479 --> 01:02:08,271
and let us pray.

613
01:02:11,609 --> 01:02:13,485
Let us pray.

614
01:02:18,866 --> 01:02:21,535
Why did you not tell me?

615
01:02:22,954 --> 01:02:24,871
I was afraid.

616
01:02:26,499 --> 01:02:29,376
I thought if I worked hard
I would miscarry.

617
01:02:36,426 --> 01:02:38,635
I must go to Bellingham
with the truth.

618
01:02:38,928 --> 01:02:42,639
No, you must not. You are a saint
to these people; They will hang you-

619
01:02:42,932 --> 01:02:46,768
Then I must hang than to allow you
to suffer in my stead.

620
01:02:47,061 --> 01:02:50,188
They've no case against me.
When they're tired of making
their point, they'll release me.

621
01:02:50,481 --> 01:02:52,190
Hester, I know Stonehall.

622
01:02:52,483 --> 01:02:54,192
You've challenged him,

623
01:02:54,485 --> 01:02:59,072
and he will not release you until you
are humbled and have recanted your sins.

624
01:03:00,575 --> 01:03:02,409
Do you believe we've sinned?

625
01:03:07,165 --> 01:03:09,750
Uh... I know not.

626
01:03:10,042 --> 01:03:12,753
What happened between us
had a consecration of its own.

627
01:03:13,045 --> 01:03:16,047
- We felt it so. Have you forgotten?
- I've not forgotten!

628
01:03:21,137 --> 01:03:23,930
Oh, Arthur, I know
you want to speak out.

629
01:03:24,223 --> 01:03:26,933
Everything in your nature
cries out for it.

630
01:03:27,226 --> 01:03:32,105
But you risk your own ruin and deny me
my right to stand up to this hypocrisy.

631
01:03:32,398 --> 01:03:34,149
Soldier!

632
01:03:44,660 --> 01:03:47,287
If I need you to speak,

633
01:03:47,580 --> 01:03:50,332
I will tie this handkerchief
from the window.

634
01:03:53,586 --> 01:03:55,462
I love thee, woman.

635
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,467
But your strength frightens me.

636
01:04:03,012 --> 01:04:04,846
I'll do what you ask.

637
01:04:11,687 --> 01:04:13,563
Amen.

638
01:04:21,572 --> 01:04:23,865
God be with you, Hester Prynne.

639
01:04:27,370 --> 01:04:29,371
I'm sure He already is.

640
01:04:40,550 --> 01:04:42,342
Gentlemen, Mistress Prynne...

641
01:04:42,635 --> 01:04:45,345
has been in that place
for over five months...

642
01:04:45,638 --> 01:04:47,389
without any legal justification.

643
01:04:47,682 --> 01:04:51,434
Even in backward Plymouth they regard
our treatment of this woman as barbaric!

644
01:04:51,727 --> 01:04:54,437
I would like nothing more than
to free her, Arthur.

645
01:04:54,730 --> 01:04:56,857
At home I receive
no peace on this issue.

646
01:04:57,149 --> 01:05:00,902
The people have watched us go to
her week after week, caps in hand,
only to be turned away.

647
01:05:01,195 --> 01:05:03,071
The woman is unbending,
unrepentant.

648
01:05:03,364 --> 01:05:06,199
She is very fortunate we have not
had her beaten publicly.

649
01:05:06,492 --> 01:05:10,036
I'm surprised at you, Rev. Cheever;
You came here a man of reason.

650
01:05:10,329 --> 01:05:14,416
I came here, sir, expecting to find
some semblance of order.

651
01:05:14,709 --> 01:05:17,794
Instead I find
a den of factiousness.

652
01:05:18,087 --> 01:05:20,922
Now, sir, if you do not
stem this dissent,

653
01:05:21,215 --> 01:05:24,426
my wife and I have decided
to return to England...

654
01:05:24,719 --> 01:05:28,179
and to take all
our parishioners with us.

655
01:05:28,472 --> 01:05:32,559
If only she would give us
a small sign of contrition, Arthur.

656
01:05:35,938 --> 01:05:38,732
<i>Had it been up to him,
my father would have ended it...</i>

657
01:05:39,025 --> 01:05:41,234
<i>and revealed
the truth of my origins.</i>

658
01:05:41,527 --> 01:05:43,236
- No visitors!
- Stand aside!

659
01:05:43,529 --> 01:05:46,239
<i>But, bound by my mother's wish, he could not.
- This is an innocent woman!</i>

660
01:05:46,532 --> 01:05:48,241
No visitors!

661
01:05:48,534 --> 01:05:49,659
- This is an abomination!

662
01:05:49,952 --> 01:05:53,079
<i>He went every day to see her:
Every day he was refused.</i>

663
01:05:54,457 --> 01:05:56,249
<i>His eye ever on that window...</i>

664
01:05:56,542 --> 01:06:01,588
<i>for her sign that it was time
for him to come forward with the truth.</i>

665
01:08:07,298 --> 01:08:12,802
<i>Had there been flashes of Prynne's
unstable nature before in England,</i>

666
01:08:13,095 --> 01:08:14,888
<i>no one knows.</i>

667
01:08:16,807 --> 01:08:19,726
<i>But now,
freed from Puritan society,</i>

668
01:08:20,019 --> 01:08:24,731
<i>he was with increasing regularity
seized by spirits so powerful...</i>

669
01:08:25,024 --> 01:08:27,776
<i>they were terrifying
even to the Indians.</i>

670
01:08:47,338 --> 01:08:49,923
Forgive me, Lord,

671
01:08:50,216 --> 01:08:53,927
for I have turned from Thee,
my heavenly Father.

672
01:08:54,220 --> 01:08:56,012
Forgive me.

673
01:08:56,305 --> 01:08:59,933
Bring me back to Thy bosom.

674
01:09:02,103 --> 01:09:05,605
God's teeth, child,
how could they leave you thus?

675
01:09:05,898 --> 01:09:08,108
Oh, Harriet,
thank God you're here.

676
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,610
Six months and not one visitor.

677
01:09:10,903 --> 01:09:13,738
Now, now, some of us came, my dear,
but we were turned away.

678
01:09:14,031 --> 01:09:17,659
That slave of yours came every day.
How quick are the pains?

679
01:09:17,952 --> 01:09:19,661
They're not stopping.

680
01:09:19,954 --> 01:09:22,163
Here, now. Take a sip of this.

681
01:09:22,456 --> 01:09:25,625
I warrant you won't refuse
my cider this time.

682
01:09:25,918 --> 01:09:30,130
Rev. Dimmesdale tried all ways to get
you set at liberty. -

683
01:09:30,422 --> 01:09:32,132
- Another?
- Yes.

684
01:09:32,424 --> 01:09:35,135
All right, my dear.
There, now, breathe deep, breathe deep.

685
01:09:35,427 --> 01:09:39,806
I'm here. Hold onto me. Good girl.
Easy, easy. -

686
01:09:40,099 --> 01:09:42,308
Now, let me see. Let me see.

687
01:09:42,601 --> 01:09:45,812
All�s well.
All�s as it should be, now. It's close.

688
01:09:46,105 --> 01:09:48,815
It's very close.
Come, my dear, it's time.

689
01:09:49,108 --> 01:09:52,152
Up you sit. There's a good girl.

690
01:09:52,444 --> 01:09:55,155
Move down a little. Good.

691
01:09:55,447 --> 01:10:00,201
Now this child is ready to be born.
We've work to do.

692
01:10:00,494 --> 01:10:02,203
There.

693
01:10:02,496 --> 01:10:05,707
I did not think they'd
keep me here so long.

694
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,710
Oh. Well, I'll say this:

695
01:10:09,003 --> 01:10:11,838
You must have a will of iron.

696
01:10:12,131 --> 01:10:15,341
But when you take on the men,
it be to the death.

697
01:10:15,634 --> 01:10:17,844
- Oh! Easy!
- All right, my dear.

698
01:10:18,137 --> 01:10:20,638
Now, now, breathe deep.
Chin down.

699
01:10:20,931 --> 01:10:22,849
Bear down hard.

700
01:10:23,142 --> 01:10:25,852
More. And harder. Good girl!

701
01:10:26,145 --> 01:10:29,189
Good girl. Good.
That's it, that's it.

702
01:10:29,481 --> 01:10:33,193
Easy, easy. Easy, easy.

703
01:10:33,485 --> 01:10:35,778
- Good, good.
- Ohh! Ohhh.

704
01:10:39,575 --> 01:10:43,161
Are you sure God's not punishing me?

705
01:10:43,454 --> 01:10:46,164
To be sure,
He's punishing you, woman.

706
01:10:46,457 --> 01:10:48,166
He be giving you a child.

707
01:10:48,459 --> 01:10:51,294
- It's coming!
- Now, gently, gently.

708
01:10:51,587 --> 01:10:54,297
- The head is coming I see it.
- Ohh! Yes! Yes!

709
01:10:54,590 --> 01:10:56,299
The head is through!

710
01:10:56,592 --> 01:10:59,844
Now, easy, easy. Easy.

711
01:11:00,137 --> 01:11:03,306
We've got the shoulders!

712
01:11:06,602 --> 01:11:08,811
- Ohh! Yes! Yes!
- She's here!

713
01:11:09,104 --> 01:11:10,897
Ohh, thank you, God.

714
01:11:18,072 --> 01:11:20,281
Oh, yes.

715
01:11:20,574 --> 01:11:22,784
Oh, little Pearl.

716
01:11:23,077 --> 01:11:25,245
Yes. Yes, my-

717
01:11:25,537 --> 01:11:27,956
She's here.

718
01:11:28,249 --> 01:11:30,041
Oh, she's here.

719
01:11:56,235 --> 01:11:58,111
Sit there, Mistress.

720
01:12:00,656 --> 01:12:03,074
Proceed, Reverend.

721
01:12:16,505 --> 01:12:20,800
I shall have them fetch fresh clothes
for you and the baby.

722
01:12:34,648 --> 01:12:36,441
I bring good news.

723
01:12:36,734 --> 01:12:39,902
I have prevailed
upon the governor.

724
01:12:40,195 --> 01:12:42,488
You are to be freed.

725
01:12:46,035 --> 01:12:48,536
But by law...

726
01:12:48,829 --> 01:12:51,622
you will be brought
to the scaffold...

727
01:12:52,750 --> 01:12:54,625
for reprimand.

728
01:12:57,004 --> 01:12:58,796
Hester,

729
01:12:59,089 --> 01:13:01,341
whatever is said,

730
01:13:01,633 --> 01:13:05,470
please... be as contrite
as your conscience will permit.

731
01:13:05,763 --> 01:13:08,681
If not for my sake,
then for the babe's.

732
01:13:08,974 --> 01:13:11,809
I beg you,
do not anger them any furth-

733
01:13:17,441 --> 01:13:19,734
I come to baptize the babe.

734
01:13:40,798 --> 01:13:44,050
I have died not seeing you.

735
01:13:44,343 --> 01:13:46,094
I came every day.

736
01:14:24,007 --> 01:14:26,384
I baptize this child...

737
01:14:29,596 --> 01:14:34,434
Pearl.

738
01:14:41,817 --> 01:14:44,068
In the name of the Father...

739
01:14:45,195 --> 01:14:47,071
and the Son...

740
01:14:49,867 --> 01:14:51,742
and the Holy Ghost.

741
01:14:54,705 --> 01:14:56,581
May the Lord bless thee...

742
01:14:58,459 --> 01:15:00,293
and care for thee...

743
01:15:01,670 --> 01:15:03,588
and watch over thee.

744
01:15:06,717 --> 01:15:08,593
Amen.

745
01:15:16,518 --> 01:15:18,728
Freeing this woman...

746
01:15:19,021 --> 01:15:23,441
will be an invitation
to every wife to defy her husband;

747
01:15:24,568 --> 01:15:26,360
Every child its parent.

748
01:15:26,653 --> 01:15:28,362
No, no, she should be released.

749
01:15:28,655 --> 01:15:30,364
What?

750
01:15:30,657 --> 01:15:32,867
Horace,
you don't put her in the prison.

751
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,369
You put the prison in her...

752
01:15:35,662 --> 01:15:38,372
so that each time
someone sets eyes on her,

753
01:15:38,665 --> 01:15:41,459
her sin will be marked
into her soul afresh.

754
01:15:49,343 --> 01:15:51,177
Cunningly contrived, my dear.

755
01:15:55,265 --> 01:15:57,558
Make way in the king's name.

756
01:15:57,851 --> 01:16:01,187
Our blessing on the righteous colony
of Massachusetts...

757
01:16:01,480 --> 01:16:05,107
where iniquity is dragged
into the sunlight.

758
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:08,402
Know, all men, by these present,

759
01:16:08,695 --> 01:16:11,739
that Mistress Roger Prynne...

760
01:16:12,032 --> 01:16:14,325
has been ordered
to bear punishment...

761
01:16:14,618 --> 01:16:18,913
for the crimes of
fornication and adultery.

762
01:16:19,206 --> 01:16:21,916
You bring shame upon
this good community!

763
01:16:22,209 --> 01:16:26,671
If it be determined at a later date
that her husband be still alive,

764
01:16:26,964 --> 01:16:29,674
she may face
a more severe penalty,

765
01:16:29,967 --> 01:16:32,927
which is to be hanged
by the neck until dead.

766
01:16:33,220 --> 01:16:34,971
Pray, silence...

767
01:16:35,264 --> 01:16:38,808
for His Excellency the Governor!

768
01:16:39,101 --> 01:16:41,227
Hester Prynne,

769
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,272
though you show no modesty
in your apparel,

770
01:16:45,774 --> 01:16:49,610
yet you have a chance still
to repent your sins.

771
01:16:49,903 --> 01:16:51,946
Yes, Hester, repent!

772
01:16:54,575 --> 01:16:57,410
Child, do you not believe
that you have sinned?

773
01:16:59,496 --> 01:17:02,373
I believe I have sinned
in your eyes.

774
01:17:04,084 --> 01:17:06,877
But who's to know
if God shares your views?

775
01:17:07,170 --> 01:17:11,424
Woman, transgress not against
the limits of heaven's mercy. -

776
01:17:11,717 --> 01:17:15,428
Good Master Dimmesdale,
you are her pastor.

777
01:17:15,721 --> 01:17:19,015
Speak to her, for all our sakes!

778
01:17:19,308 --> 01:17:22,935
Soften her, her hardness,
her obstinacy!

779
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:27,231
' Speak!
' Speak!

780
01:17:27,524 --> 01:17:29,233
Listen to the reverend!

781
01:17:29,526 --> 01:17:31,736
Speak to the woman, my brother.

782
01:17:32,029 --> 01:17:34,280
Exhort her to confess the truth.

783
01:17:40,078 --> 01:17:41,954
Hester Prynne,

784
01:17:43,498 --> 01:17:46,626
you hear what
these good men say...

785
01:17:46,918 --> 01:17:50,087
and you can see the accountability
under which I labor.

786
01:17:52,382 --> 01:17:54,759
For your soul�s peace,

787
01:17:57,012 --> 01:17:59,096
I charge thee,

788
01:17:59,389 --> 01:18:01,390
speak out the name...

789
01:18:01,683 --> 01:18:03,684
of your fellow sinner.

790
01:18:09,441 --> 01:18:11,233
Be not silent...

791
01:18:11,526 --> 01:18:14,695
from some mistaken pity
or tenderness for him.

792
01:18:14,988 --> 01:18:17,740
For, believe me, if he could
step down from a high place...

793
01:18:18,033 --> 01:18:21,243
and stand there beside you
on your pedestal of shame,

794
01:18:21,536 --> 01:18:23,704
it would be better...

795
01:18:23,997 --> 01:18:27,333
than to carry a guilty heart
through life.

796
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,838
What can your silence
do for him...

797
01:18:34,841 --> 01:18:37,385
except to tempt him,

798
01:18:37,678 --> 01:18:40,012
compel him, as it were,

799
01:18:40,305 --> 01:18:42,556
to add hypocrisy to sin?

800
01:18:46,269 --> 01:18:48,145
Speak.

801
01:19:03,286 --> 01:19:05,079
She will not speak.

802
01:19:05,372 --> 01:19:08,499
In the name of the Lord, name him!
Name him!

803
01:19:12,212 --> 01:19:15,423
- Speak! Speak!
- What is his name?

804
01:19:15,716 --> 01:19:17,591
Who might he be?

805
01:19:31,106 --> 01:19:34,191
Very well. Beadle.

806
01:19:34,484 --> 01:19:37,361
Mistress,
if you do not speak out the name,

807
01:19:37,654 --> 01:19:39,363
you must wear
upon your bodice...

808
01:19:39,656 --> 01:19:41,907
this symbol of
your sinful fornication.

809
01:19:55,088 --> 01:19:58,799
Heed not this final warning...

810
01:19:59,092 --> 01:20:02,303
and from this day forward
you will be a pariah,

811
01:20:02,596 --> 01:20:06,891
cut off, shunned and reviled by every
man, woman and child in this town.

812
01:20:12,606 --> 01:20:15,441
Why do you wait? Put it on.

813
01:20:15,734 --> 01:20:19,236
For 'tis not a badge of my shame,
but your own.

814
01:20:28,205 --> 01:20:30,998
Unrepentant whore!

815
01:20:42,344 --> 01:20:45,679
Now is she without...

816
01:21:11,665 --> 01:21:13,499
What do you want?

817
01:21:15,377 --> 01:21:18,254
Have I changed so much, my beloved,
that you would slay me...

818
01:21:18,547 --> 01:21:21,340
even as I resurrect myself
from the dead?

819
01:21:26,805 --> 01:21:28,681
Roger?

820
01:21:48,243 --> 01:21:50,369
Hester.

821
01:21:55,876 --> 01:21:58,335
Was I ever unkind to you?

822
01:21:59,963 --> 01:22:01,755
Did I not love thee?

823
01:22:02,048 --> 01:22:05,759
Did I not set thee
above all womankind?

824
01:22:06,052 --> 01:22:08,929
Are you not bound to me
by sacred oath?

825
01:22:09,222 --> 01:22:13,058
Or has this new land
turned thee into a heathen?

826
01:22:19,691 --> 01:22:22,568
Lay down our bed,
wilt thou, wife?

827
01:22:48,511 --> 01:22:50,804
Pray for thy sins,
Hester Prynne.

828
01:22:51,097 --> 01:22:53,807
Beg the Lord to
forgive thy corruption.

829
01:22:54,100 --> 01:22:57,895
Pray, and I will wash thee
white as snow.

830
01:23:01,149 --> 01:23:02,942
White as snow, my love.

831
01:23:03,234 --> 01:23:05,486
Oh, yes. White as snow.

832
01:23:11,493 --> 01:23:13,619
White as snow.

833
01:23:55,745 --> 01:23:57,621
Arthur!

834
01:24:04,337 --> 01:24:06,130
Hester!

835
01:24:06,423 --> 01:24:10,134
- Oh, thank God you're here.
- Hester, why are you taking this risk?

836
01:24:10,427 --> 01:24:12,636
I had to warn you; My husband-

837
01:24:12,929 --> 01:24:14,638
Oh, Arthur, he's alive.

838
01:24:14,931 --> 01:24:16,682
Oh, dear God.

839
01:24:19,352 --> 01:24:21,478
Alive?

840
01:24:21,771 --> 01:24:23,939
Now we will hang for certain.

841
01:24:24,232 --> 01:24:28,235
Why would your husband show up at this very
moment if he was not God's dark messenger...

842
01:24:28,528 --> 01:24:30,946
sent to punish us?

843
01:24:31,239 --> 01:24:33,949
Arthur, you must leave
this place without us.

844
01:24:34,242 --> 01:24:39,204
Please. I cannot bear to see you trapped
here under his watchful eye forever.

845
01:24:39,497 --> 01:24:43,250
Hester, I cannot leave. I must
stay and watch over you and Pearl.

846
01:24:43,543 --> 01:24:45,753
No! You don't know him.

847
01:24:46,046 --> 01:24:48,756
He will wait for us
to betray each other...

848
01:24:49,049 --> 01:24:51,759
with the slightest glance
or the merest gesture.

849
01:24:52,052 --> 01:24:54,261
Please, you must go.

850
01:24:54,554 --> 01:24:58,182
This is God's punishment...

851
01:24:58,475 --> 01:25:01,226
because we tried to run
from His will.

852
01:25:17,077 --> 01:25:20,829
I will not say farewell, Hester,

853
01:25:21,122 --> 01:25:23,916
for God will watch over you.

854
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:27,836
And so will I.

855
01:25:30,840 --> 01:25:32,633
Kiss Pearl for me...

856
01:25:32,926 --> 01:25:34,718
each night.

857
01:26:02,539 --> 01:26:05,874
'Tis easy to see
the mother's part in her.

858
01:26:07,293 --> 01:26:10,087
Is it beyond
the philosopher's research, I wonder,

859
01:26:10,380 --> 01:26:12,089
to analyze her nature...

860
01:26:12,382 --> 01:26:16,635
and from its make and mold to give
a shrewd guess as to the father?

861
01:26:17,929 --> 01:26:19,721
What are your expectations, sir?

862
01:26:20,014 --> 01:26:24,268
I do not expect your heart
to return to me quickly,

863
01:26:24,561 --> 01:26:28,147
but I hope one day you will draw me again
into your heart's innermost chambers.

864
01:26:30,275 --> 01:26:33,777
God help me, love has forced
my heart to open to another.

865
01:26:34,070 --> 01:26:35,821
Watch your tongue, woman.

866
01:26:36,114 --> 01:26:39,283
It is this phantom lover
who puts these words into your mouth.

867
01:26:39,576 --> 01:26:43,787
Where is he, woman? Is his kiss
still wet on your lips, on your breast?

868
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:47,791
I demand to know! - If I could spend
six months in a cold jail...

869
01:26:48,084 --> 01:26:49,793
and not tell those iron men,

870
01:26:50,086 --> 01:26:52,796
what makes you think
I will tell you now?

871
01:26:53,089 --> 01:26:57,801
I have grown strong through these trials,
sir, and I am not the child you married!

872
01:26:58,094 --> 01:27:01,013
Why not announce yourself openly
and cast me off at once?

873
01:27:01,306 --> 01:27:03,932
No. No.

874
01:27:04,225 --> 01:27:06,935
I seek no vengeance
against you, child.

875
01:27:07,228 --> 01:27:10,314
But the man lives
who has wronged us both.

876
01:27:10,607 --> 01:27:13,942
He bears no letter of infamy
wrought into his garment,

877
01:27:14,235 --> 01:27:17,154
but I shall read it...
on his heart.

878
01:27:18,448 --> 01:27:21,241
Breathe one word to him
of my true identity...

879
01:27:21,534 --> 01:27:24,328
and you will both hang.

880
01:27:24,621 --> 01:27:27,080
And if you're foolish enough
to attempt an escape,

881
01:27:27,373 --> 01:27:29,541
you'll be easily tracked
and found. Easily.

882
01:27:32,003 --> 01:27:34,213
From the savages...

883
01:27:34,505 --> 01:27:38,717
I have learned patience,
Hester Prynne.

884
01:28:16,798 --> 01:28:19,424
Mmm. Goody Gotwick, thank you.

885
01:28:32,814 --> 01:28:36,775
Reverend Dimmesdale, allow me
to introduce our newest boarder,

886
01:28:37,068 --> 01:28:39,278
- Dr. Chilling-
- Chillingworth.

887
01:28:39,570 --> 01:28:41,446
- Chillingworth.
- Yes. Yes.

888
01:28:41,739 --> 01:28:43,448
Good day, Reverend.

889
01:28:43,741 --> 01:28:45,492
- Good day, sir.
- Mmm.

890
01:28:48,162 --> 01:28:51,957
What, uh, brings you
to our colony, Doctor?

891
01:28:52,250 --> 01:28:57,045
I'm a physician, sir, that would
cleanse the ills of the community.

892
01:29:01,676 --> 01:29:03,885
Have I said something strange?

893
01:29:06,180 --> 01:29:09,182
N- No. No, it's just, uh-

894
01:29:09,475 --> 01:29:11,268
Oh, I'm amazed.

895
01:29:12,895 --> 01:29:14,980
We have prayed...

896
01:29:15,273 --> 01:29:16,940
for a skilled physician.

897
01:29:19,736 --> 01:29:22,654
I see you're translating
the Bible into Algonquin.

898
01:29:25,033 --> 01:29:27,784
A most difficult tongue
to master.

899
01:29:28,077 --> 01:29:31,955
If I can be of help, Reverend,

900
01:29:32,248 --> 01:29:35,083
I am quite fluent in Algonquin.

901
01:29:35,376 --> 01:29:37,377
Uh, fluent?

902
01:29:37,670 --> 01:29:40,922
Oh, yes. I was a prisoner
of the Tarrantine.

903
01:29:41,215 --> 01:29:43,925
When I spoke improperly,
I was whipped.

904
01:29:44,218 --> 01:29:46,511
To be certain,
I learned quite rapidly.

905
01:29:48,181 --> 01:29:50,724
How were you captured?

906
01:29:52,226 --> 01:29:54,519
I was working my farm
in Virginia.

907
01:29:54,812 --> 01:29:58,940
They came, they killed
my wife Eleanor, God rest her soul,

908
01:29:59,233 --> 01:30:01,693
and our infant son,

909
01:30:01,986 --> 01:30:04,029
and sold me into captivity.

910
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:08,992
Well, uh-

911
01:30:09,285 --> 01:30:12,996
Well, it's a wonder that you're not
consumed with, uh, bitterness and despair.

912
01:30:13,289 --> 01:30:17,042
No, no, no. In truth, sir,
I am in debt to the Indians.

913
01:30:17,335 --> 01:30:19,044
Some say they are savages,

914
01:30:19,337 --> 01:30:22,172
but I find true savagery
to reside...

915
01:30:22,465 --> 01:30:24,216
elsewhere.

916
01:30:34,519 --> 01:30:36,395
Mrs. Roger Prynne.

917
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:40,232
Mistress Prynne.

918
01:30:45,279 --> 01:30:47,280
And what is your duty, boy?

919
01:30:47,573 --> 01:30:50,325
To follow you around
in every public place, Mistress.

920
01:30:50,618 --> 01:30:53,412
Well, at least
they'll make a path for me.

921
01:31:21,816 --> 01:31:24,985
- Whore!
- God will punish you, sinner!

922
01:31:25,278 --> 01:31:27,070
JezebeH

923
01:31:28,281 --> 01:31:30,574
You're not welcome here!

924
01:31:30,867 --> 01:31:33,910
Begone, Hester Prynne!

925
01:31:34,203 --> 01:31:35,954
She's a whore!

926
01:31:41,627 --> 01:31:44,463
Soap, please. Three pieces.

927
01:32:11,157 --> 01:32:14,701
<i>Although he wore
no outward symbol of his shame,</i>

928
01:32:14,994 --> 01:32:18,288
<i>my father bore his own scarlet letter
on the very bosom of his soul.</i>

929
01:32:20,666 --> 01:32:24,002
<i>The pain of their separation
must have affected us all,</i>

930
01:32:24,295 --> 01:32:27,005
<i>for I was indeed
a troublesome child.</i>

931
01:32:27,298 --> 01:32:30,008
<i>His heart aching for my mother,</i>

932
01:32:30,301 --> 01:32:34,179
<i>my father sought to fill his loneliness
in the wilds with Johnny...</i>

933
01:32:34,472 --> 01:32:37,224
<i>as they struggled
to keep alive their dream...</i>

934
01:32:37,517 --> 01:32:40,602
<i>of building a bridge
between the English and the Indians.</i>

935
01:32:40,895 --> 01:32:44,814
Johnny, why are they
so close to town?

936
01:32:46,067 --> 01:32:49,194
They say that our people
have fallen asleep,

937
01:32:49,487 --> 01:32:53,073
so they must remain
awake for all of us.

938
01:32:54,534 --> 01:32:56,326
I'm worried, Arthur.

939
01:32:56,619 --> 01:32:58,828
Is war coming?

940
01:32:59,121 --> 01:33:01,873
The great experiment
is not working, is it?

941
01:33:11,717 --> 01:33:13,468
Yes, he's right.

942
01:33:13,761 --> 01:33:16,221
If there is a war, how do we stop
our Praying Indians...

943
01:33:16,514 --> 01:33:19,683
from rising up and
slitting our throats as we sleep?

944
01:33:19,976 --> 01:33:21,726
Faith, Thomas, faith.

945
01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:25,272
I know what will stop them.

946
01:33:25,565 --> 01:33:28,066
Arthur's friendship
with Johnny Sassamon.

947
01:33:28,359 --> 01:33:30,819
Johnny would never betray Arthur.

948
01:33:31,112 --> 01:33:33,863
He worships him
as Peter worshipped Jesus.

949
01:33:34,156 --> 01:33:35,907
Gentlemen. Doctor.

950
01:33:39,829 --> 01:33:43,248
If there is a true war,
God help us all,

951
01:33:43,541 --> 01:33:46,751
because neither we
nor the savages will survive it.

952
01:33:50,798 --> 01:33:54,634
I see the governor has less of
an appreciation for signs than ye,

953
01:33:54,927 --> 01:33:56,761
his Godly advisors.

954
01:33:58,139 --> 01:34:00,599
It is not always easy.

955
01:34:00,891 --> 01:34:04,436
Strangely, the same thing
happened in Virginia.

956
01:34:05,646 --> 01:34:07,439
Before the attack,

957
01:34:07,732 --> 01:34:09,941
there were signs
that went unheeded.

958
01:34:10,234 --> 01:34:12,861
Oh? And what manner of signs?

959
01:34:13,154 --> 01:34:15,655
The bad winter;
The crop failures;

960
01:34:15,948 --> 01:34:19,993
Far too many Quakers
and foreigners in the town;

961
01:34:22,038 --> 01:34:25,582
Some minor elements of witchcraft,
et cetera, et cetera.

962
01:34:25,875 --> 01:34:27,959
Exactly. Exactly.

963
01:34:28,252 --> 01:34:31,296
Our first sign was that matter
of Hester Prynne...

964
01:34:31,589 --> 01:34:33,298
and her women's meetings.

965
01:34:33,591 --> 01:34:37,427
And after that, the severe winter,
the failed crops.

966
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:39,429
You see. Sir.

967
01:34:39,722 --> 01:34:44,184
My colleague has feared from the start
that in the matter of Mistress Prynne,

968
01:34:44,477 --> 01:34:46,186
witchcraft was involved.

969
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:49,189
Mmm. Then why, in all this time,

970
01:34:49,482 --> 01:34:53,193
have you not taken the proper measures
to cleanse your colony?

971
01:34:53,486 --> 01:34:55,695
What measures
do you speak of, sir?

972
01:34:55,988 --> 01:34:59,324
Did you examine the women present
at those meetings?

973
01:34:59,617 --> 01:35:02,077
Have you queried the midwife...

974
01:35:02,370 --> 01:35:05,664
or inspected the child
for the witch's marks?

975
01:35:13,339 --> 01:35:17,384
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil.

976
01:35:17,677 --> 01:35:21,638
"For Thou art with me; Thy rod
and Thy staff, they comfort me.

977
01:35:21,931 --> 01:35:25,225
"Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies.

978
01:35:25,518 --> 01:35:28,853
"Thou anointeth my head with oil;
My cup runneth over.

979
01:35:29,146 --> 01:35:33,692
"Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life.

980
01:35:33,984 --> 01:35:36,903
"I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever."

981
01:35:39,740 --> 01:35:42,575
The babe's clean at present.

982
01:35:42,868 --> 01:35:46,121
Mistress, we shall leave
your child with you for the present.

983
01:35:46,414 --> 01:35:49,207
But you must assure us
it will be raised a Christian.

984
01:35:51,585 --> 01:35:53,962
Yes, yes. Ooh.

985
01:35:54,255 --> 01:35:56,840
Yes. Yes.

986
01:35:57,133 --> 01:35:59,759
Yes.

987
01:36:05,808 --> 01:36:09,477
I've been your friend today, child,
but it cannot always be so.

988
01:36:09,770 --> 01:36:11,479
No.

989
01:36:11,772 --> 01:36:15,442
For inside me, I grow
more wretched by the day.

990
01:36:24,243 --> 01:36:26,995
I yearn so much for thee.

991
01:36:28,873 --> 01:36:33,835
And I fear I might destroy
the whole world to win thee back.

992
01:36:58,652 --> 01:37:02,155
Come now and tell old Harriet
what's troubling you.

993
01:37:02,448 --> 01:37:04,616
I never imagined...

994
01:37:04,909 --> 01:37:07,702
how cruel and cunning
their punishment could be.

995
01:37:11,791 --> 01:37:15,168
Stonehall and Cheever stopping
to preach at me on the streets.

996
01:37:16,462 --> 01:37:19,130
The people pointing
and shouting,

997
01:37:19,423 --> 01:37:21,174
even the children.

998
01:37:24,887 --> 01:37:27,764
And that horrible drummer boy
following me everywhere.

999
01:37:31,685 --> 01:37:34,020
Perhaps it was all for naught.

1000
01:37:39,318 --> 01:37:43,696
I wonder if existence as a woman
is worthwhile at all,

1001
01:37:43,989 --> 01:37:45,949
even for the happiest of women.

1002
01:37:47,326 --> 01:37:49,202
Courage, child.

1003
01:37:49,495 --> 01:37:53,248
Take heart. At least you've known
what it is to love.

1004
01:37:53,541 --> 01:37:57,627
But what if I've repaid that love
by destroying him?

1005
01:37:57,920 --> 01:37:59,838
What if...

1006
01:38:00,130 --> 01:38:02,882
everything I believed
so strongly was a lie,

1007
01:38:06,345 --> 01:38:09,138
vain and selfish?

1008
01:38:26,574 --> 01:38:30,285
<i>Prynne's punishments
were succeeding in their cruel work.</i>

1009
01:38:30,578 --> 01:38:33,788
<i>The seasons ran their course.</i>

1010
01:38:34,081 --> 01:38:36,457
<i>The distance between them
was impassable.</i>

1011
01:38:39,461 --> 01:38:43,089
<i>My mother took the terrible risk
of writing to my father,</i>

1012
01:38:43,382 --> 01:38:48,052
<i>reminding him to hold steadfast
in their love and keep his silence,</i>

1013
01:38:48,345 --> 01:38:50,805
<i>aware that Prynne's subtle
but constant presence...</i>

1014
01:38:51,098 --> 01:38:55,518
<i>was causing an inner torment
that threatened my father's very soul.</i>

1015
01:38:59,023 --> 01:39:03,735
<i>As for Prynne, his lust for revenge
began to feed on itself,</i>

1016
01:39:04,028 --> 01:39:06,070
<i>so that he hungered for more.</i>

1017
01:39:12,119 --> 01:39:14,495
Good morrow, Mituba.

1018
01:39:18,083 --> 01:39:20,043
What a pleasant day for a ride.

1019
01:39:24,465 --> 01:39:26,257
Oh, Mituba.

1020
01:39:26,550 --> 01:39:30,803
You're renowned in town for your loyalty
to your mistress, and now I see why.

1021
01:39:32,556 --> 01:39:37,143
Was your dry lunch
a communication from her lover?

1022
01:39:41,774 --> 01:39:46,361
You know, I have the power to arrest
you as an accomplice to adultery...

1023
01:39:46,654 --> 01:39:50,365
and bring you before
the magistrates for questioning.

1024
01:39:52,034 --> 01:39:56,204
And since you are a slave,
they might well whip you to death.

1025
01:39:56,497 --> 01:40:00,124
Easy! Easy! EasY!

1026
01:40:01,418 --> 01:40:04,879
I only want to help
the woman we both love...

1027
01:40:05,172 --> 01:40:07,632
to free herself
from the grasp of a fiend.

1028
01:40:07,925 --> 01:40:10,093
Oh, dear Lord, this is it!

1029
01:40:10,386 --> 01:40:13,680
He made you strip naked
before him, hmm?

1030
01:40:16,767 --> 01:40:19,560
Totally naked?

1031
01:40:19,853 --> 01:40:23,064
Was there a presence in the room?

1032
01:40:23,357 --> 01:40:25,400
Now, think, think!

1033
01:40:25,693 --> 01:40:27,735
He might have come
in one of his many disguises.

1034
01:40:28,028 --> 01:40:29,821
Did he come as a bird?

1035
01:40:30,114 --> 01:40:32,740
Ah, a blackbird!

1036
01:40:33,033 --> 01:40:36,411
Was the bird black?

1037
01:40:36,704 --> 01:40:38,496
Oh, God,

1038
01:40:38,789 --> 01:40:41,124
I feel the presence of Lucifer!

1039
01:40:41,417 --> 01:40:43,835
Save yourself, child, before it is too late!
- Gentlemen, phrase.

1040
01:40:44,128 --> 01:40:46,796
Please, gentlemen, please!
Enough. Enough.

1041
01:40:48,048 --> 01:40:49,882
Enough.

1042
01:40:52,469 --> 01:40:54,262
Go home, Mituba.

1043
01:40:54,555 --> 01:40:57,015
You've been a wondrous help.

1044
01:40:57,307 --> 01:41:00,018
Commend us to your mistress.

1045
01:41:00,310 --> 01:41:02,061
Go home.

1046
01:41:12,406 --> 01:41:17,201
So there is a malignancy
to be cut out here.

1047
01:41:17,494 --> 01:41:20,204
But what kind of witness
will a slave be in court?

1048
01:41:20,497 --> 01:41:23,291
The bird, obviously,
is Harriet Hibbons.

1049
01:41:32,593 --> 01:41:34,427
What is it, Pearl?

1050
01:41:36,930 --> 01:41:38,723
Forgive me, Hester.

1051
01:41:39,016 --> 01:41:41,517
Harriet! - Yours was the first
place I thought of to hide.

1052
01:41:41,810 --> 01:41:43,811
What is it?

1053
01:41:44,104 --> 01:41:47,065
Th-The militia,
they've broken into my house.

1054
01:41:47,357 --> 01:41:49,108
They're looking for me
in the woods.

1055
01:41:55,783 --> 01:41:58,076
I've been named...

1056
01:41:58,368 --> 01:42:01,079
as a witch.

1057
01:42:01,371 --> 01:42:03,414
In the name of God.

1058
01:42:03,707 --> 01:42:05,500
What?

1059
01:42:11,965 --> 01:42:14,842
- Hold here.
- Yes, sir!

1060
01:42:20,891 --> 01:42:23,059
What's the meaning
of this intrusion, Major?

1061
01:42:23,352 --> 01:42:26,229
Stand aside, woman.
We know the witch is in here.

1062
01:42:26,522 --> 01:42:30,191
There's no one inside but myself,
my child and Mistress Mituba.

1063
01:42:30,484 --> 01:42:32,777
So, unless you have a warrant,
be gone.

1064
01:42:34,863 --> 01:42:37,615
Reverend Dimmesdale.

1065
01:42:37,908 --> 01:42:39,492
What's happening, Major?

1066
01:42:39,785 --> 01:42:43,079
It appears that we've
cornered ourselves a witch.

1067
01:42:43,372 --> 01:42:47,375
Hmm? Here in
Hester Prynne's Cottage.

1068
01:42:47,668 --> 01:42:50,962
Well, if there is a witch
inside the house, Major,

1069
01:42:52,714 --> 01:42:54,590
I'm sure I'll find her.

1070
01:42:57,052 --> 01:42:58,928
Aye.

1071
01:43:01,056 --> 01:43:03,599
Front and back.
One at the door. Magistrate?

1072
01:43:03,892 --> 01:43:05,643
Sir. Hup!

1073
01:43:32,212 --> 01:43:34,088
Pearl�s grown tall.

1074
01:43:37,259 --> 01:43:40,553
She is an elf. Willful.

1075
01:43:42,264 --> 01:43:44,140
Dear God, Hester.

1076
01:43:49,938 --> 01:43:51,981
It's been so long.

1077
01:43:55,068 --> 01:43:56,903
You're thin.

1078
01:44:04,745 --> 01:44:06,996
Are you hiding someone, Hester?

1079
01:44:11,418 --> 01:44:14,170
Why do you-

1080
01:44:14,463 --> 01:44:17,215
Why are you risking...

1081
01:44:17,507 --> 01:44:19,467
further anger from the elders?

1082
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:22,386
Because Mistress Hibbons
is no witch...

1083
01:44:22,679 --> 01:44:24,931
and she's committed no crime
beyond speaking her mind.

1084
01:44:25,224 --> 01:44:27,266
Well, if she is innocent,

1085
01:44:27,559 --> 01:44:31,103
I assure you
no harm will befall her.

1086
01:44:31,396 --> 01:44:33,606
Arthur.

1087
01:44:33,899 --> 01:44:37,985
After all that has happened,
how can you still trust these iron men?

1088
01:44:40,030 --> 01:44:42,740
Do you not see
what is happening?

1089
01:44:43,033 --> 01:44:45,243
Last month they brought
Sally Short in for questioning.

1090
01:44:45,535 --> 01:44:48,412
They held her for two days.
Last week it was Mary Railings.

1091
01:44:48,705 --> 01:44:51,082
They were just
questioning them!

1092
01:44:51,375 --> 01:44:54,418
- What is the crime in that?
- The crime is they had done nothing!

1093
01:44:54,711 --> 01:44:58,214
Do you not see that this
is all part of some malevolence?

1094
01:44:58,507 --> 01:45:00,216
What has become of you?

1095
01:45:00,509 --> 01:45:02,260
God, woman!

1096
01:45:07,224 --> 01:45:11,269
By order of your demands,
I've given up everything I hold sacred.

1097
01:45:11,561 --> 01:45:13,604
I'm in hell!

1098
01:45:13,897 --> 01:45:17,275
In the eye of the enemy, your husband,
who lectures at my side day and night...

1099
01:45:17,567 --> 01:45:20,861
and in the eye of every parishioner
who comes to me to unburden their soul,

1100
01:45:21,154 --> 01:45:23,656
I'm a pollution, woman!
I'm a lie!

1101
01:45:23,949 --> 01:45:25,658
Nay.

1102
01:45:25,951 --> 01:45:28,661
They are the pollution.
They are the lie.

1103
01:45:28,954 --> 01:45:32,123
But you are allowing them to destroy
everything that is good in you!

1104
01:45:32,416 --> 01:45:35,376
Oh, what has happened
to the man I love?

1105
01:45:35,669 --> 01:45:37,378
Does he not still
live inside thee?

1106
01:45:37,671 --> 01:45:41,132
Our love, woman, was a folly.

1107
01:45:41,425 --> 01:45:43,676
And the voice that we heard
was a false one...

1108
01:45:43,969 --> 01:45:46,345
and we have been justly punished
for listening to it!

1109
01:45:46,638 --> 01:45:49,598
Coward, bestow yourself
with Courage!

1110
01:45:52,352 --> 01:45:54,270
Hold, woman!

1111
01:46:14,374 --> 01:46:16,208
What have I become?

1112
01:46:57,918 --> 01:47:03,047
<i>To have betrayed the only person
on earth who had shown her kindness-</i>

1113
01:47:03,340 --> 01:47:06,258
<i>What could feel worse than that?
Mituba.</i>

1114
01:47:06,551 --> 01:47:09,053
<i>Poor mute Mituba.</i>

1115
01:47:09,346 --> 01:47:12,056
<i>When Prynne summoned her,
she wanted only to undo the harm...</i>

1116
01:47:12,349 --> 01:47:14,642
<i>she might have caused
her mistress.</i>

1117
01:47:16,269 --> 01:47:19,522
Peace in this house!

1118
01:47:19,815 --> 01:47:22,400
Peace, I say. Peace!

1119
01:47:22,692 --> 01:47:26,529
You find these proceedings
humorous, Mistress Hibbons?

1120
01:47:28,156 --> 01:47:32,576
Do you expect me
to take 'em seriously?

1121
01:47:32,869 --> 01:47:36,414
Seeing a bunch of grown men
poking around my private parts,

1122
01:47:36,706 --> 01:47:39,333
looking for witch's marks?

1123
01:47:41,962 --> 01:47:45,798
- The slave Mituba-
- Peace, I say! Peace!

1124
01:47:46,091 --> 01:47:48,759
I'm afraid a witness,
the slave Mituba,

1125
01:47:49,052 --> 01:47:50,761
has been found dead.

1126
01:47:51,054 --> 01:47:52,805
What?

1127
01:47:54,808 --> 01:47:58,102
Governor, you see?
I told you she was a witch!

1128
01:47:58,395 --> 01:48:00,646
Mistress Hibbons is a witch!

1129
01:48:00,939 --> 01:48:03,399
- She is a witch!
- Witch! Witch!

1130
01:48:08,530 --> 01:48:11,115
Have you lost all reason?
Who gave her the right to speak?

1131
01:48:11,408 --> 01:48:14,785
There is no witchcraft here!
This is murder!

1132
01:48:15,078 --> 01:48:18,914
- Guards, restrain this woman!
- Hang the witch!

1133
01:48:20,709 --> 01:48:23,461
Satan is not at work here
among the women!

1134
01:48:23,753 --> 01:48:27,631
But if he is here, then perhaps
he is at work here among you men.

1135
01:48:27,924 --> 01:48:29,300
Hear Satan speak.

1136
01:48:29,593 --> 01:48:32,386
Governor! Governor!

1137
01:48:32,679 --> 01:48:35,055
Governor, I have evidence
to render.

1138
01:48:35,348 --> 01:48:37,975
As you know, Mistress Hibbons...

1139
01:48:38,268 --> 01:48:41,395
midwived Mistress Prynne's...

1140
01:48:41,688 --> 01:48:43,481
ba by Pearl.

1141
01:48:49,321 --> 01:48:52,156
- Want a sweet, Pearl?
- Bastard!

1142
01:48:57,412 --> 01:49:01,332
- No!
- Yes, my Pearl.

1143
01:49:03,210 --> 01:49:05,127
How I wish you were my girl.

1144
01:49:10,550 --> 01:49:13,344
Poor fatherless child.

1145
01:49:13,637 --> 01:49:16,263
Now, would you like
to learn a game?

1146
01:49:21,603 --> 01:49:24,772
Now, yes. Now, do what I do.

1147
01:49:25,065 --> 01:49:27,191
If I pinch my nose.

1148
01:49:27,484 --> 01:49:29,485
You too-very good.

1149
01:49:29,778 --> 01:49:31,654
Very good. Now.

1150
01:49:33,406 --> 01:49:37,034
I pull up my shirt
and show my tummy-tum-tum.

1151
01:49:37,327 --> 01:49:41,205
Now you show me
your tummy-tum-tum.

1152
01:49:41,498 --> 01:49:43,415
Lift up your shirt.

1153
01:49:53,635 --> 01:49:57,221
Behold, the witch's mark.

1154
01:49:57,514 --> 01:49:59,515
No! No!

1155
01:50:02,227 --> 01:50:05,813
Behold the devil�s own child!

1156
01:50:09,693 --> 01:50:17,324
No!

1157
01:50:17,617 --> 01:50:22,246
The devil�s own child!
Get thee behind me, Satan!

1158
01:50:25,458 --> 01:50:27,918
The devil�s own child!

1159
01:50:28,211 --> 01:50:30,087
No!

1160
01:50:30,380 --> 01:50:33,007
Give me that child!

1161
01:50:33,300 --> 01:50:34,800
Ham.) her!

1162
01:50:35,093 --> 01:50:38,095
Damn your child!

1163
01:50:38,388 --> 01:50:40,598
Reverend, do something!

1164
01:50:40,890 --> 01:50:42,600
Hibbons is innocent.

1165
01:50:42,892 --> 01:50:45,936
- We cannot let this innocent woman hang.
- Innocent?

1166
01:50:46,229 --> 01:50:48,772
Since you first spoke to me
about that Prynne woman,

1167
01:50:49,065 --> 01:50:52,443
everything we've dreamed and toiled for in
the name of the Lord has been threatened!

1168
01:50:52,736 --> 01:50:55,446
I've heard enough!
Did you listen in there?

1169
01:50:55,739 --> 01:50:58,115
Faction, argument, dissent.

1170
01:50:58,408 --> 01:51:00,701
That is the work of Satan.

1171
01:51:04,080 --> 01:51:06,790
<i>The town was in an uproar,</i>

1172
01:51:07,083 --> 01:51:10,878
<i>and so my father risked
one last meeting with my mother,</i>

1173
01:51:11,171 --> 01:51:14,214
<i>convinced that if they
were going to hang Harriet,</i>

1174
01:51:14,507 --> 01:51:18,052
<i>it would not be long before my mother
and I would be seized...</i>

1175
01:51:18,345 --> 01:51:20,137
<i>and hung in our turn.</i>

1176
01:51:23,016 --> 01:51:26,393
I had to speak out.
I couldn't stop myself.

1177
01:51:28,521 --> 01:51:30,272
Damn your husband, Hester.

1178
01:51:36,905 --> 01:51:39,865
You and Pearl must go
into hiding... tonight.

1179
01:51:40,158 --> 01:51:43,661
I cannot. I cannot run.

1180
01:51:43,953 --> 01:51:46,455
What are you saying?

1181
01:51:52,420 --> 01:51:54,296
Forgive me.

1182
01:51:56,800 --> 01:52:00,260
Whatever happens, promise me
you will always look after Pearl.

1183
01:52:00,553 --> 01:52:05,766
Oh, God, woman. How much further
must you take this?

1184
01:52:06,059 --> 01:52:08,352
As far as my strength
will take me.

1185
01:52:11,398 --> 01:52:13,899
If Harriet is to hang,
then I must hang with her.

1186
01:52:18,071 --> 01:52:21,490
I will ask the other women
to stand with us.

1187
01:52:21,783 --> 01:52:23,534
They cannot hang us all.

1188
01:52:27,122 --> 01:52:30,249
Hester, are we never
to know a life together?

1189
01:52:35,130 --> 01:52:38,048
I love thee.

1190
01:52:38,341 --> 01:52:42,052
God help me, I love thee
and I always will.

1191
01:52:42,345 --> 01:52:45,097
I will always love thee.

1192
01:52:53,940 --> 01:52:56,442
Lord God,

1193
01:52:56,735 --> 01:52:59,403
we stood before Thee
naked once...

1194
01:52:59,696 --> 01:53:03,699
and now we stand before Thee
naked again as a family.

1195
01:53:05,118 --> 01:53:09,913
God, Thou hast given me
this as a gift,

1196
01:53:10,206 --> 01:53:13,250
and I will not, not give it up!

1197
01:53:14,794 --> 01:53:17,171
Not while I have the strength!

1198
01:53:51,706 --> 01:54:40,212
Arthur?

1199
01:55:05,238 --> 01:55:07,906
Evening, Mistress P-Prynne.

1200
01:55:08,199 --> 01:55:11,118
- Expecting someone else?
- No, uh-

1201
01:55:11,411 --> 01:55:16,039
Did you not call out for Arthur?
The only Arthur I know is Dimmesdale.

1202
01:55:16,332 --> 01:55:20,377
You misunderstood me.
I said, are there... persons there?

1203
01:55:20,670 --> 01:55:23,547
I should've guessed long ago.

1204
01:55:23,840 --> 01:55:26,884
You naughty girl.

1205
01:55:27,176 --> 01:55:30,596
So you fucked a minister, huh?

1206
01:55:30,889 --> 01:55:36,101
Oh, God, how my father
will savor that priceless morsel!

1207
01:55:36,394 --> 01:55:38,937
Oops-a-daisy.

1208
01:55:39,230 --> 01:55:41,273
What'd he do to you, huh?

1209
01:55:41,566 --> 01:55:44,109
Did he suck your breasts?

1210
01:55:44,402 --> 01:55:46,236
Did he lick you?

1211
01:55:46,529 --> 01:55:49,281
Where did he lick you, Hester?

1212
01:55:49,574 --> 01:55:51,366
Show me!

1213
01:55:52,493 --> 01:55:54,953
God, how I've wanted
to poke you!

1214
01:56:01,711 --> 01:56:05,672
All the nights
you came into my dreams...

1215
01:56:05,965 --> 01:56:08,258
to bewitch me,
and all the while...

1216
01:56:08,551 --> 01:56:11,053
giving it to another...

1217
01:56:25,568 --> 01:56:28,904
- Damn you, witch!
- Get out!

1218
01:56:31,324 --> 01:56:33,200
Do up your britches and get out.

1219
01:56:41,668 --> 01:56:44,795
You bastard, get out!

1220
01:56:45,088 --> 01:56:48,298
I shall enjoy watching you
and your minister hang!

1221
01:57:02,355 --> 01:57:04,815
Open up, Doctor!

1222
01:57:05,108 --> 01:57:09,695
There are matters between us
that we must discuss immediately!

1223
01:57:36,723 --> 01:57:40,350
So, Arthur Dimmesdale.

1224
01:57:42,729 --> 01:57:47,524
Thy will be blindly done.
Thy will be blindly done.

1225
01:59:22,036 --> 01:59:25,497
He's been murdered!

1226
01:59:25,790 --> 01:59:28,625
Call out the militia.
Call out the guards.

1227
01:59:28,918 --> 01:59:32,838
It's a sign! The Lord
has sent us a sign!

1228
01:59:33,131 --> 01:59:37,634
- Get the Praying Indians! Lock 'em up!
- We have strayed!

1229
01:59:38,970 --> 01:59:41,805
See how He punishes us!

1230
01:59:42,098 --> 01:59:46,101
It's Brewster!
The savages have killed him!

1231
01:59:46,394 --> 01:59:48,103
My son! My son!

1232
01:59:48,396 --> 01:59:51,189
They've cut him into pieces,
the heathen bastards!

1233
01:59:51,482 --> 01:59:53,984
Lock up the Praying Indians...

1234
01:59:54,277 --> 01:59:57,112
before they murder us in our beds!

1235
01:59:57,405 --> 01:59:59,322
Get the Praying Indians!

1236
01:59:59,615 --> 02:00:01,658
- No!
- Get into your compound, you savages!

1237
02:00:01,951 --> 02:00:04,619
Praying Indians
into the compound! Get in with ya!

1238
02:00:04,912 --> 02:00:08,081
Come on!

1239
02:00:08,374 --> 02:00:11,209
We are loyal to you!

1240
02:00:14,422 --> 02:00:19,009
Protect the children
before it's too late!

1241
02:00:19,302 --> 02:00:24,431
Mistress Prynne, by order of the
Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony,

1242
02:00:24,724 --> 02:00:29,144
you are hereby placed under arrest
for the acts of heresy...

1243
02:00:32,398 --> 02:00:35,692
Stop this! It was
one of us killed Brewster!

1244
02:00:38,446 --> 02:00:40,572
It was one of us! I have proof I.

1245
02:00:43,659 --> 02:00:45,869
Bastards!

1246
02:00:46,162 --> 02:00:50,540
Johnny, run! Metacomet's braves
by the river. I've seen them.

1247
02:00:50,833 --> 02:00:54,669
Tell Metacomet to come
and save his people! Run, man!

1248
02:00:58,132 --> 02:01:01,051
Here come the witches.

1249
02:01:01,344 --> 02:01:03,053
Stand guard'
Don't look in their eyes!

1250
02:01:03,346 --> 02:01:05,639
Open the cells!

1251
02:01:16,859 --> 02:01:18,652
- Never mind the child.
- Pearl!

1252
02:01:18,945 --> 02:01:21,071
- Get in! Get in, woman!
- Pearl!

1253
02:01:21,364 --> 02:01:26,576
Worry not, Mistress Prynne. I'll
see she's raised up to fear the Lord.

1254
02:01:34,669 --> 02:01:38,755
Let it be for the highest court.

1255
02:01:39,048 --> 02:01:40,840
We humbly submit to Thy will.

1256
02:01:45,471 --> 02:01:47,639
Open up, murderer!

1257
02:02:04,198 --> 02:02:08,285
It is God's will
that they should hang!

1258
02:02:08,577 --> 02:02:10,662
People of New England!

1259
02:02:17,461 --> 02:02:19,713
There is no witchcraft here!

1260
02:02:22,633 --> 02:02:24,968
If we hang these women,

1261
02:02:25,261 --> 02:02:27,053
then what have we become?

1262
02:02:27,346 --> 02:02:30,932
Who are we to condemn...

1263
02:02:31,225 --> 02:02:32,976
on God's behalf?

1264
02:02:41,902 --> 02:02:44,529
I love...

1265
02:02:44,822 --> 02:02:46,614
this woman!

1266
02:02:48,617 --> 02:02:52,454
I am... the father of her child!

1267
02:02:52,747 --> 02:02:55,582
And in God's eyes,

1268
02:02:55,875 --> 02:02:58,043
I am her husband.

1269
02:03:04,925 --> 02:03:07,177
Now, if you must...

1270
02:03:07,470 --> 02:03:09,179
hang someone...

1271
02:03:09,472 --> 02:03:13,850
to appease your... your anger...

1272
02:03:14,143 --> 02:03:16,436
and your fear,

1273
02:03:18,314 --> 02:03:20,190
then hang me!

1274
02:04:01,399 --> 02:04:03,775
Hang him!

1275
02:04:04,068 --> 02:04:05,777
Hang him! Hang him!

1276
02:04:06,237 --> 02:04:10,073
Hang him! Hang him! Hang him!

1277
02:04:20,668 --> 02:04:22,752
Hang him! Hang him!

1278
02:04:23,045 --> 02:04:34,931
Hang him! Hang him! Hang him!

1279
02:04:35,224 --> 02:04:40,061
Hang him! Hang him!
Hang him! Hang him!

1280
02:04:40,354 --> 02:04:51,156
Hang him! Hang him! Hang him!

1281
02:05:05,671 --> 02:05:08,465
Bastards!

1282
02:05:13,721 --> 02:05:16,264
- Where's Pearl?
- She's in the armory.

1283
02:05:38,120 --> 02:05:39,996
Here.

1284
02:05:49,924 --> 02:05:51,799
Hester!

1285
02:05:56,222 --> 02:05:58,139
Where's my child?

1286
02:05:58,432 --> 02:06:00,975
- She's in the meeting house.
- Come on!

1287
02:06:30,589 --> 02:06:32,757
You are free, my people!

1288
02:06:33,050 --> 02:06:36,344
Go back to Metacomet!
Go back to the forest!

1289
02:07:51,503 --> 02:07:55,632
Bellingham will do anything
to conceal this madness from England.

1290
02:07:57,217 --> 02:08:01,095
He has sworn to me
that he will remove the letter...

1291
02:08:01,388 --> 02:08:03,640
and make thee a public apology.

1292
02:08:06,602 --> 02:08:09,520
How close they are, love and hate.

1293
02:08:09,813 --> 02:08:13,274
We are no less bound
by one than the other.

1294
02:08:18,364 --> 02:08:20,948
Rest in peace, Roger Prynne.

1295
02:08:30,542 --> 02:08:32,627
This letter has served a purpose,

1296
02:08:33,796 --> 02:08:37,173
though not the one
they had intended.

1297
02:08:37,466 --> 02:08:40,009
So why would I stay here?

1298
02:08:40,302 --> 02:08:43,638
To be accepted by them?
To be tamed by them?

1299
02:08:51,438 --> 02:08:54,816
- There's no perfect world, Hester.
- No, not perfect.

1300
02:08:57,069 --> 02:08:59,445
But we came here to make a new one.

1301
02:09:02,449 --> 02:09:04,325
And for Pearl�s sake,

1302
02:09:06,787 --> 02:09:08,913
I must do just that.

1303
02:09:12,918 --> 02:09:14,877
Hester.

1304
02:09:15,170 --> 02:09:16,921
Come along.

1305
02:09:18,424 --> 02:09:20,258
Hester!

1306
02:09:21,552 --> 02:09:23,386
Look at me.

1307
02:09:25,097 --> 02:09:27,390
If I look at you,
I won't be able to leave.

1308
02:09:27,683 --> 02:09:29,892
Then leave.

1309
02:09:30,185 --> 02:09:31,978
Brave the wilds.

1310
02:09:39,069 --> 02:09:42,405
But, Hester, I'll not let you,

1311
02:09:42,698 --> 02:09:45,032
in God's name, go without me.

1312
02:09:57,212 --> 02:09:59,088
They're watching us.

1313
02:10:23,489 --> 02:10:26,157
<i>In the faraway Carolinas,</i>

1314
02:10:26,450 --> 02:10:29,327
<i>my parents were, at last, to find
a measure of the happiness...</i>

1315
02:10:29,620 --> 02:10:32,914
<i>that had been denied them
for so long.</i>

1316
02:10:33,207 --> 02:10:36,626
<i>My father died
before I reached my teens.</i>

1317
02:10:36,919 --> 02:10:40,338
<i>Some say that was a punishment.</i>

1318
02:10:40,631 --> 02:10:44,425
<i>My mother never remarried
nor loved another.</i>

1319
02:10:44,718 --> 02:10:47,887
<i>Some say that was a punishment.</i>

1320
02:10:48,180 --> 02:10:50,389
<i>As for me,</i>

1321
02:10:50,682 --> 02:10:52,850
<i>I do not see it that way.</i>

1322
02:10:53,143 --> 02:10:56,312
<i>My parents shared
a love like no other.</i>

1323
02:10:56,605 --> 02:11:00,066
<i>I know the spirit of that love
lives within me...</i>

1324
02:11:00,359 --> 02:11:02,652
<i>and will live
within my children forever.</i>

1325
02:11:05,531 --> 02:11:09,826
<i>Who is to say what is a sin
in God's eyes?</i>
