Tess Page #7

Please Missus... tis your own fault.

We'll see about that.

We are a true descendents

of the knightly D'Urbervilles.

Nobody leaves us in

the streets like raw apples.

Not in the home of our ancestors.

Our boards are in the

crip there laid out there in their carpets.

what's with you...

No, my dear. What's true is true.

Your poor father's eyes

are on us. We mustn't shame him.

Oh lord protect his own.

On the weekly champ he punished.

Ladies stopping here then?

no my good man. we are going on.

Good man... good man...

I ought to get by to Marlott.

Unload Darrell.

Where?

Here!

Here?

Yes Here.

We shall camp beside our church

until the town of our ancestors,

Find us our shelters.

Now come on children.

Set to work.

Why am I on the

wrong side of this door?

Yeah!

It's me Father, Angel!

My boy, my poor boy.

I've been ill but I'm alright now.

Why have you treated me

so monstrously Angel?

I do not deserve it.

I have thought it over carefully

and I can never, never forgive you.

You are cruel. I shall try to forget you.

All I ever received of

your hands is injustice.

Mr Durbeyfield.

Beg your pardon?

You are Mr Durbeyfield?

They don't live here no more.

Since when?

Since John Durbeyfield died.

Do you know where they went?

Durbeyfield... from 1832 to 1888

more properly D'Urberville of once

powerful family of that name

and directly descended

through illustrious lines

of Pagan D'Urberville.

Likes of a conqueror.

How are the mighty fallen?

Ah yes... how indeed.

May I? for the poor.

I prefer to settle

the Mason's account.

You'd think he's never

been paid for his work.

They were an odd family.

My collegue Mr Tringham,

would have done

better to have kept his mouth shut.

I should like to see Mrs Clare.

Tess

Yes I know. She's not here.

You are Mrs. Durbeyfield.

Yes

Where is she living?

I don't know.

I'm her husband.

I guessed as much.

Then tell me where she is.

Please, tell me.

Leave her. Leave her in peace.

My poor girl's suffered enough.

She don't care to see you sir. Never.

Mrs Durbeyfield,

take pity on a lonely,

wretched man.

Tell me where to find her.

I beg you.

She's at Sandbourne.

Sandbourne? But where?

It's a large town these days.

That's all I know. Sandbourne.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for a Mrs. Clare.

Would you by any

chance know her address?

Ah, George. You got a Clare around?

No... we've had a lot of

visitors here. You know.

Or Durbeyfield. Miss Durbeyfield.

D'Urberville at the Herons.

That's it. D'Urberville.

It's a boarding house sir. Can't miss it.

Where abouts?

Yes?

Please excuse me

for calling at this hour.

But do you have a Teresa

D'Urberville staying in your board?

Mrs D'Urberville you mean?

Yes.

Please come in.

Would be kind enough to

tell her that her relative

is anxious to see her?

It's rather early sir. What name shall I give?

Angel.

Mr Angel?

Angel. It's my christian name.

She'll understand.

I'll go and see if she's awake.

Tess. I came to ask your forgiveness.

It's too late.

Too late? My darling wife.

I've come to fetch you.

I'm going to...

Don't come near me Angel please.

Too Late. Too Late.

I'm not the man I was. I've suffered too.

I humbly beg you to forgive me.

Yes. yes... But I tell you it's too late.

Don't you know at all? Don't you?

How did you find your way here?

I saw your mother.

I waited and waited for you.

But you didn't come.

I wrote to you. But you didn't come.

He has been good tome.

To all of us.

He's won me back to him.

He's upstairs.

Go now Angel. Go please.

Never come back anymore.

Good morning my dear

WEll, what's the matter now?

You feeling unwell?

Is that why you have the vapours?

Yes? No?

yes I know. You are moping as usual.

For god's sake, try and make an effort.

Did you have a bad dream?

Brazil perhaps?

These mooning hysterics

of yours are in poor taste.

Don't forget we are

lunching with the Bennets.

I'd like you to look presentable.

A genuine D'Urberville.

I came to tell you that I killed him.

I've done it.

I don't know how

I don't know.

I tried to rake him with my glove put

the blood in his mouth

I thought I might be capable of it

Yes... yes. It was from that day on

What's mean?

I've killed him

I won't desert you.

I shall protect you by

every means in my power.

Whatever you may or may

not have done, I love you.

I love you.

Will they hang me?

WE must get out at the next

station and head north on foot.

They'll be looking for us at the Wessex ports.

Once we reach the north

we'll go abroad.

WE have makings of a mule here.

and a bottle of wine.

Rest at last.

We must leave at once.

WE must leave here as soon as possible.

My life couldn't be a matter of weeks?

Why not wait for them here?

Since they'll catch me in any case.

I'm going to save you.

Do you hear?

I'm going to save you.

Can't we rest here?

I'm afraid not. By day this place

is visible from miles around.

There are no stars tonight.

Perhaps we could have made

our souls take flight together.

Do they sacrifice to god here?

No . To the sun I believe. It's a Pagan temple.

Older than the ages.

Older than the D'Urbervilles.

Do you think we shall meet again after death?

I'm afraid Angel. I'm afraid.

There's no use sir.

The whole country's roused.

She's sleeping. Just a little longer.

Have they come for me?

Yes.

I'm ready.
