00:00I'm going to do it again, I'm going to do it again, I'm going to do it again, I'm going
00:30to do it again, I'm going to do it again, I'm going to do it again, I'm going to do
01:00it again, I'm going to do it again, I'm going to do it again.
01:30I was waiting for you. That's extraordinary, I was coming to see the Coen's at the shop you know.
01:51You said you were waiting for me, how could that be? I didn't send word I was coming this evening.
02:03I knew you were coming. I have been waiting for five years.
02:10Shall we go?
02:21I have been waiting for you.
02:51There, that's better.
03:09I'm so glad you're here Daniel. You see, I'm dying, but you have come in time.
03:23I'm very glad if I give you comfort, and I hope you're wrong about the gravity of your condition.
03:32Never mind that, you're here, and you know that you've been sent here for a purpose.
03:38You've been chosen Daniel.
03:40Chosen by whom, for what?
03:42By God, to be a leader of our people.
03:46But don't you remember I told you, the first time we met, I'm not a member of your race.
03:55You are not sure of your own origin?
04:03I've never known my mother, I don't know anything about her, but I am convinced that my father is an Englishman.
04:20You don't know your own origin, you don't know where you come from, let me tell you.
04:25You are one of us.
04:27No, no.
04:29Think about it, something brings you to Whitechapel, to this shop, to me.
04:33Yes, I was making inquiries for...
04:35You pick up a book at random, what book is it?
04:38The book that will tell you everything you need to know, you see, you have been chosen.
04:43You will be my life.
04:45You will take the inheritance.
04:48You will take the sacred inheritance of the Jew.
04:58Daniel, Daniel, look, we're making angels!
05:02Daniel, Daniel, look, we're making angels!
05:08Daniel!
05:09Daniel, look!
05:11Ah, there you are.
05:14What's that you're reading?
05:21The history of the Jews.
05:23What on earth are you doing with that?
05:25I came across it when I was trying to trace Meera, Miss Lapidot's family for her.
05:29Oh yes, your little waif and stray.
05:32That's not how I describe her.
05:35What are you doing with your life these days, Daniel?
05:41Not much, I suppose, but I've been doing a good deal of reading and thinking
05:45and finding out about other lives, lives very different from ours.
05:49Do you know...
05:50Do you mind if I tell you what I'd like to see you doing?
05:53Not at all.
05:54I'd like to see you engaging in a serious profession.
05:58The law, perhaps, but not necessarily for itself, as a step to greater things.
06:05Politics, say.
06:07I think you might have a very good career there.
06:10You read widely and you think deeply.
06:13But it's no good keeping these things to yourself.
06:16I think you underestimate yourself, Dan.
06:19I believe you have the makings of a leader in you.
06:22This country needs new ideas.
06:25Aim high, Dan.
06:28Now you think about that.
06:31I will.
06:34Of course you can always help your young women in your spare time.
06:39Oh, by the way, do you know that your tempress from Lloy Bran will be here this evening?
06:44Yes.
06:46Do you think it will be proof against temptation, or shall we have to lash you to the most?
06:51I don't think that will be necessary. After all, she is another man's wife.
06:55Oh, yes, so she is.
07:00Well, well.
07:04Hmm, an interesting girl.
07:07A woman, we should say now, I suppose.
07:10They say he gave the family diamonds to his mistress.
07:14But the new bride made him go and take them back off her.
07:17And looking at her, you can't believe it.
07:20Eh? What do you say?
07:24I should say that was most unlikely.
07:26Well, it's true about the mistress, Mrs. Glacier.
07:30A very fiery woman, they say.
07:33And she's given him a fine son.
07:39Then what right had he to marry this girl?
07:42I dare say she knew all about it.
07:44A man like that is quite a prize, with or without encumbrances.
07:52Well, well, Mr. and Mrs. Klesmer.
07:56Sir Hugo is very liberal these days.
07:59I never thought to see one of the chosen race here at the Abbey.
08:05What do you say, Lady Pentreith?
08:07Glad to find a little romance still left among us.
08:11And after all, it's hardly a mes alliance.
08:14No blood on either side.
08:16All the same, though, it's a far cry from tying the knot with one of the sons of Shem, wouldn't you say?
08:23If there is a misalliance, I'd say it was on Klesmer's side.
08:26He'll be remembered and revered long after the rest of us are forgotten, I think.
08:30Excuse me.
08:33Such a strange young man.
08:36Why should he take the cares of the world upon his shoulders?
08:39I understand he has a little Jewish protégé himself.
08:45Ah, so that's it.
08:56Oh, moon, oh, moon,
09:08Oh moon, oh moon,
09:16Oh moon, oh moon,
09:39Mr. de Ronda, that was delightful.
09:42That is the true English baritone for you.
09:45Never had it sung better.
09:47No, no, ask Klesmer if you want the truth.
09:50What is your verdict, Mr. Klesmer?
09:54Middling.
09:56That's all I aim for, thank you.
09:59Yes, you understand true excellence, I think, but you content yourself with very much less.
10:05Some things.
10:07Music being one of them, as you rightly observe.
10:16Will you not join in the music?
10:19I join in it by listening.
10:22I'm very fond of music.
10:24Are you not a musician at all?
10:26I have given a great deal of time to music,
10:29but I haven't the talent to make it worthwhile.
10:32But you're fond of music.
10:34I shall never sing again.
10:36You see, I couldn't bear to be middling.
10:39To me, that's another word for being dull,
10:42and I have such a dread of dullness.
10:45That's why I gamble.
10:47And lose.
10:55Yes.
10:58Yes.
11:02What's this about, your little protégé, Mr. de Ronda?
11:05Miss Lapidot. She is the most wonderful singer.
11:09She has recently arrived in London
11:11and plans to give recitals there and lessons.
11:14I am to have her in my drawing room when we go up to town.
11:17You will hear her then.
11:19APPLAUSE
11:21Well, to please you,
11:23I'll set her on my nine granddaughters,
11:26and I hope she'll convince eight of them
11:29never to sing again except in church.
11:32Most girls these days want teaching not to sing, in my view.
11:38Do you think you might relent, perhaps?
11:42I should like to hear Miss Lapidot,
11:45since you admire her so much.
11:47The truth is, I'm not very fond of her.
11:50I'm not fond of her.
11:52I think she's too good for you.
11:54I think she's too good for you.
11:57I think she's too good for you.
12:00I think she's too good for you.
12:03like to hear, Miss Lapidoff, since you admire her so much?
12:07Is she as perfect in everything else as in her music?
12:10I can't vouch for that exactly.
12:12I haven't seen enough of her.
12:14She's had an unhappy life.
12:17But yes, she's borne it all with patience and good humor
12:21and true grace and refinement.
12:24I have no sympathy with these people
12:25who are always doing right.
12:28I don't believe in their great sufferings.
12:33No.
12:33No.
12:37What is it?
12:38What's the matter?
12:42I despise myself.
12:48I wish you could know everything about my life
12:52without my telling you.
12:54Are you persuading Mrs. Brancourt to sing for us, Daniel?
12:58I can't persuade myself.
13:03Oh, Daniel.
13:33Well, am I altogether as you like?
13:53No.
13:56Put on the diamonds.
14:01I don't want to wear them.
14:03These go much better with this dress.
14:06You must see that.
14:12Hmm.
14:15I wish you'd wear the diamonds.
14:17Please excuse me.
14:20I prefer the turquoise.
14:22What you prefer has nothing to do with it.
14:29Take them off and put on the diamonds.
14:32Why should I?
14:36Because I am your husband, and I tell you to.
15:32Hmm.
16:45Are you resolved not to dance anymore?
16:55Yes.
16:57Aren't you glad?
16:58I'm sure you've danced more than you like to already.
17:04You could fetch me a glass of water, if you would.
17:16It's very close in here.
17:29Perhaps we should go into the cloisters.
17:30Yes.
17:32It'll be cooler there.
17:33Shall we?
17:36No, I don't care to.
17:41You go, if you like.
17:44Doronda will take you.
18:02I wore it for you.
18:05Do you remember?
18:07Of course I remember.
18:09Then do you still think badly of me?
18:12I never thought badly of you.
18:14Not then, not now.
18:17I did think you might be throwing your life away.
18:19Oh, I wasn't throwing my life away then.
18:23That was just a few francs.
18:28If you knew what my life is now,
18:33and I brought it on myself.
18:36But I had to do something to help my family.
18:40Don't you see?
18:44No, that's not true.
18:49I married him because I couldn't bear to be a governess.
18:53There, do you despise me now?
18:56How could I despise you?
19:00You would, if you knew everything.
19:08I think I shall be damned for what I've done.
19:12No, not you.
19:26This place, is this where you grew up?
19:30Yes.
19:33How wonderful to have spent your childhood here.
19:37We were always shifting from place to place,
19:40always dependent on other people.
19:43We were never settled, never secure like you.
19:48I've always felt as if I were walking on a high wire,
19:55with nothing to save me if I fell.
19:59I was lucky to grow up here.
20:04In a way, I never really felt I belonged.
20:08I used to think my real parents would come one day
20:11and take me away and tell me it was all a mistake.
20:15But I thought you always seemed so strong, so definite,
20:22as if you know exactly who you are and what you want.
20:29I don't know how to...
20:32I don't know how to endure my life.
20:37Tell me what I can do.
20:39I'm frightened of everything.
20:41I'm frightened of what I might do.
20:44Help me, please.
20:47I am beginning to think that the only way to be happy
20:50is to find something outside ourselves worth caring about
20:54and to work for that.
20:56Do you mean charity?
20:58It's hard to explain.
21:01It's about using your unhappiness
21:03to help you see other people's pain.
21:11But you do care something for me.
21:17I care very much about you.
21:20Then we can see each other again.
21:23You will let me come and see you sometimes and talk to you.
21:27Ask me if it will help you.
21:29Oh, yes.
21:38I'm ready to go now, if you are.
21:42Mr De Ronda will excuse us to Lady Malinger.
21:46Good night.
21:58Sit down, would you?
22:17Oblige me in future by not indulging your whims
22:20like a madwoman in a play.
22:23What do you mean?
22:26I suppose there is some understanding
22:28between you and De Ronda about that thing on your wrist.
22:33If you have anything to say to him, say it.
22:39Don't telegraph it for everyone to see.
22:42It's damnably vulgar.
22:46You can know all about the necklace.
22:49I don't want to know.
22:52What I care to know, I shall know,
22:55without your telling me.
22:58But you will oblige me by behaving as becomes my wife
23:05and not make a spectacle of yourself.
23:09Do you object to my talking to Mr De Ronda?
23:13I don't care two straws about De Ronda
23:17or any other conceited hanger-on.
23:20You may talk to him as much as you like,
23:25but you will understand
23:28that you are not to compromise yourself.
23:32Behave with dignity.
23:39That's all I have to say.
23:42Now,
23:45now,
23:48take that thing off your wrist and come over here.
23:57No.
24:01Gwen! Gwen! Gwen! Gwen! Gwen! Gwen!
24:06Oh, what a lovely surprise this is, Gwendolyn.
24:09Well, Mr Grandcourt has gone out,
24:11so I'm determined to fill up the time by coming to see you, Mama.
24:15There's only one more day's hunting.
24:17We should be going up to town next week.
24:19Oh, I'm so sorry.
24:21It's all right.
24:23It's all right.
24:25It's all right.
24:27We should be going up to town next week.
24:29Oh, we hoped we might see more of you while you were at Diplo's.
24:34Yes, so did I.
24:37But Mr Grandcourt doesn't care for company much.
24:40He says he finds society a confounded bore.
24:43One might as well go to one's kennels and talk to one's hounds.
24:47What a funny man.
24:49He wouldn't stop you visiting people and having friends, would he?
24:52And receiving Mama.
24:54When one is married, one must consider one's husband's wishes.
24:58He's tamed you, hasn't he?
25:02He thinks he has.
25:04But I should be allowed to come to you if you were ill, darling.
25:07Oh, yes. But you know I am never ill.
25:15So, where has Mr Grandcourt gone today?
25:21To Gadsmere, I believe.
25:23What sort of place is that, Gwen?
25:25I don't know. I've never been there.
25:29He calls it a doghutch of a place in a black country.
25:33Why does he go there, then?
25:37He has affairs which take him there, I understand.
25:42Doghutch affairs?
25:48You mustn't fret about me, Mama.
25:51Be happy with the girls.
25:55They are better children to you than I have been, you know.
25:58No. You've always been good, my darling. I remember nothing else.
26:03What did I ever do that was good to you except marry Mr Grandcourt?
26:09And I shouldn't have done that unless it pleased myself.
26:12Oh, God forbid, child. I wouldn't have had you marry for my sake.
26:17Now, Mama, you mustn't be cross with me.
26:20Mr Grandcourt gives me far more money than I can spend.
26:24And you know how I hate charity children and all that.
26:28Here's £30. Let the girls spend it on little things for themselves.
26:33Oh, Gwendolyn, no, you shouldn't.
26:37Take it.
26:46Bless you, dear.
26:56Come along, girls. She's going.
27:06Gwendolyn!
27:17He's coming! He's coming!
27:19He's got ever such a big hat on.
27:21Artists always have big hats. Artists often have swelled heads.
27:32Mr Julius Klezmer, ma'am.
27:38Mrs Merrick.
27:41Our friend, Mr Deronda,
27:43has spoken to me about your young protégé,
27:47Miss Lapiduck.
27:51No, this is Miss Lapiduck.
27:58Ah.
28:00Ah.
28:30Fine.
28:52Let us shake hands.
28:55You are a true musician.
28:59Not for great tasks.
29:01No high roofs.
29:03I would not advise...
29:05I would not further your singing
29:07in any larger space than a London drawing room.
29:10But you will do well there.
29:12And in London, that is one of the best careers open.
29:16Lessons will follow.
29:19Will you come and sing at a private concert
29:22I'm organising for Sir Hugo Mellinger?
29:24Yes. I should be grateful to.
29:27Not for gratitude.
29:29You are a true musician and you deserve to be heard.
29:32Miss Lapiduck.
29:37Mrs Merrick, Mr Merrick,
29:39Deronda, young ladies,
29:42I bid you good day.
29:58Wonderful.
30:04We have been invited to a soiree in Park Lane,
30:07Sir Hugo and Lady Mellinger.
30:11A musical soiree.
30:14Touting for that new little Jewess, no doubt.
30:20I suppose your friend Deronda will be there.
30:23Since he lives there, I imagine it's quite likely.
30:28Don't worry.
30:31I shan't wear that turquoise necklace that disgusted you so much.
30:37I should like you to wear the green satin.
30:41And the diamonds, of course.
30:45Whatever gives you pleasure.
31:28You know, my beautiful idol,
31:38My beautiful idol,
31:45I will die in vain,
31:54I will die in vain,
32:03I will die in vain.
32:14I will die in vain.
32:34You must let me say how much I am obliged to you, Miss Lapiduck.
32:38I had heard from Mr Deronda that I should have a great treat in hearing your singing,
32:42Good of you to say so.
32:44I was so nervous, you know.
32:45Oh, you shouldn't be.
32:47Will you come and sing at Grosvenor Square as well?
32:50My husband has no ear at all, but I should be thrilled.
32:53We're having a musical evening on the 4th. I do hope you can come.
32:56You are very kind, Mrs Grancourt.
32:59I should be honoured.
33:01Then it is settled.
33:03I shall look forward to it.
33:06Well, your little deuce is very pretty, there's no denying it.
33:10But where's her Jewish impudence?
33:12She looks as demure as a nun.
33:14I can assure you her modest demeanour is quite natural to her.
33:18I congratulate you, Mr Deronda.
33:21I'm sure she's very grateful.
33:26And who is that Van Dyke Duchess of Beauty?
33:30Oh, that's Mrs Grancourt.
33:32Yes, I see now.
33:34A man could make himself rather wicked for your Mrs Grancourt.
33:38She's not my Mrs Grancourt.
33:40No?
33:42I think she could be, you know.
33:45I think she could be, you know.
34:08Miss Labrador seems to be a very happy person.
34:14I must say she bears her troubles very well.
34:20Yes, she does.
34:27There seems to be hardly any need for me to say things
34:31when you know everything I'm thinking.
34:38So Miss Lapidoff is your good cause now and you have forsaken me.
34:42No, I have not forsaken you.
35:13I invited Miss Lapidoff to come and sing at our house.
35:17I hope you don't mind.
35:20I'd sooner not have Deronda's mistress at Grosvenor Square.
35:24Is what?
35:26Well, it's obvious.
35:29Anyone can see what the relationship is.
35:33Only men like you who judge others by themselves.
35:39I suppose you take Deronda for a saint.
35:44No.
35:50Only a little less of a monster than you are.
35:54Am I a monster then?
35:56You know what you are.
36:01And it's not true about Deronda and Mira Lapidott.
36:05Yes, it is.
36:08It's true.
36:14I'd prefer it if you didn't come to my bed tonight.
36:19You'd prefer that, would you?
36:22Well, I'm afraid I must disappoint you.
36:26Come.
36:38Come.
36:40Come.
37:06Mrs Mallinger, Grand Court.
37:08Is Miss Lapidoff at home?
37:31Mrs Grandcourt.
37:34Please, sit down.
37:40I thought...
37:42I hope you will be able to sing at our house on the 4th.
37:47Yes, of course. I thought it was already arranged.
37:50There's no problem, I hope?
37:52No.
37:54I just wanted to be sure of you.
38:03Come.
38:12I thought I might see Mr Deronda here.
38:16He comes here very often.
38:18To see you?
38:20Yes, and Hans and Mrs Merrick and the girls.
38:24He is very kind. He pays all my expenses, you know.
38:29He pays your expenses?
38:31He keeps you?
38:33Yes, but soon I shall be able to keep myself very well.
38:41It's not like that, you know.
38:44Did you think it was?
38:47No.
38:50I never believed it could be true.
38:54But you know how people talk.
38:56And you thought it might be true.
38:59And you came to see if you could find out?
39:02I never believed it.
39:04Please.
39:07I never believed it.
39:17I know he cares about you very much.
39:24Does he love you?
39:29Shouldn't you perhaps ask him that?
39:34If you dare to ask it at all.
39:38I'm sorry.
39:44Mrs Crancourt.
39:49Forgive me.
39:55I shan't intrude any longer.
39:58Good morning.
40:00Mrs Crancourt.
40:10What did she want?
40:13I'm not sure I could tell you.
40:15She said she wanted to be sure of me.
40:20For her musical evening?
40:23Yes.
40:26I suppose so.
40:28I suppose so.
40:54No match has gone.
40:57Ah, there you are.
40:59Excuse me.
41:00No.
41:02Wait.
41:04Come in.
41:13There is some business about property to be settled.
41:18I've told Lush to come and explain it to you.
41:23I take it you don't mind.
41:25You know very well that I do mind.
41:29Some business must be done.
41:32If I employ Lush, you will take it as a matter of course.
41:37Not make a fuss.
41:39Not toss your head and bite your lips.
41:43Do you understand me?
41:47Good.
41:50I'm going out now.
41:55I shall come back in time to go riding.
41:58If you care to get ready.
42:09I...
42:11Shall we sit down?
42:14This paper contains some information about Mr. Grancourt's will.
42:22Say what you have to say.
42:26I have to remind you of something which occurred to me.
42:30I'm afraid I can't.
42:33I'm afraid I can't.
42:35I'm afraid I can't.
42:37I'm afraid I can't.
42:39I'm afraid I can't.
42:41I have to remind you of something which occurred before your engagement to Mr. Grancourt.
42:50You met a lady on the day of the archery picnic.
42:55If you remember.
43:00Mr. Grancourt thinks it only right that his...
43:04intentions with regard to that lady should be made quite clear to you.
43:12Perhaps I should illuminate the material point for you.
43:16In the case of there being no son as issue of your marriage with Mr. Grancourt.
43:24The little boy you saw in Cardel Chase.
43:28His name is Henley.
43:31Will be Mr. Grancourt's heir.
43:38Is that all?
43:42Yes.
43:55You may tell Mr. Grancourt that his...
43:58arrangements...
44:01are just as I would have wished.
44:08It's this way.
44:11This way.
44:19We must have our own country after centuries of persecution.
44:23We are a people.
44:25We must have our own land again or we are nothing.
44:28But the feeling of nationality is dying.
44:31Nations have revived and we may even live to see a great outburst of force in the Arabs.
44:36Who are being inspired by a new zeal.
44:39We all dream of the promised land.
44:42But we live here now Mordecai.
44:45Who would go with you?
44:49Only a handful.
44:50One handful is a village.
44:52Two handfuls is a town.
44:54Three a city.
44:56We have to start somewhere.
44:58May I speak?
44:59Of course sir.
45:00We are all equal here.
45:02I was going to say.
45:04Isn't the way forward through assimilation?
45:06Well said sir.
45:09What kind of Jew is it who has no pride in his own people?
45:12Steady on Mordecai.
45:14We are only saying we shouldn't expect too much too soon.
45:18Our tragedy is we have no expectations.
45:22Don't you see that when we pretend to be what we are not.
45:25We lose a bit of our souls.
45:27We have to take pride in who we are.
45:30Don't you see if all our scattered people could come together.
45:34We could become a nation.
45:36With a voice among the nations of the world.
45:38And it will come.
45:39Be sure of that.
45:56You think I'm just a dreamer?
46:01I don't know enough to say.
46:04Is there anyone who shares your ideas?
46:06A few.
46:08Small groups in Europe.
46:09Even in England.
46:11Even some who have thrown up everything and gone off to build little settlements in the land of Israel.
46:17You see our people will never be able to fulfill our destiny.
46:20Until we have a land of our own.
46:23And for that we need leaders.
46:25I dreamt of becoming one of those leaders Daniel.
46:29I was on the point of setting off for the east that fateful day in Trieste.
46:33I was about to embark.
46:36The ship was at the key.
46:39And then the man came.
46:41Ezra, Ezra, here's a letter for you from England.
46:44Ezra? Your name is Ezra?
46:46Oh yes, yes, that was my given name.
46:49It was from my mother with the news that she had been robbed of her little one.
46:54My little sister Daniel.
46:56Her father had taken her away and she didn't know where.
47:00So of course I had to turn back.
47:03And give up my dreams to comfort my poor mother.
47:11And that was the beginning of this slow death.
47:16We were destitute.
47:18That man had left us with his debts, everything had been seized.
47:22I worked two jobs three and made myself into this skeleton that you see.
47:28But worst for both of us was not knowing what had happened to Meera.
47:32Fearing that she had been reared in evil.
47:35Meera?
47:37Did you say Meera?
47:40Yes, that was her name.
47:43I prayed for her the night our mother died.
47:46And you have never heard of your sister since then?
47:51No.
47:53Never.
48:03No, no, don't feel, you must do that.
48:11I'm intruding on your privacy.
48:13No, please.
48:16Stay.
48:22You were praying?
48:24Yes.
48:31Don't you?
48:33No.
48:35Very rarely I'm afraid.
48:39I'm sure some people can live without a faith.
48:42I used to think that.
48:45Now I'm not so sure.
48:47I know.
48:50I envy you that.
48:55You envy me?
49:03Meera, I have some news for you.
49:17Meera?
49:48No.
49:54Daniel?
49:56You're not going out?
49:58I was. What is it?
50:00Come up here.
50:01I've something to say to you.
50:07Come and sit down.
50:18I have heard from your mother, dear.
50:22After all these years, she has decided at last that she wishes to see you.
50:47To be continued...
