[ Seagulls Cawing ]
[ Boy ] LOOK, MAMA, THE SEA. YES, THE SEA.
THAT IS WHERE YOU CAME FROM.
AMY ? AMY !
AMY.
AMY, MY DAUGHTER'S TAKEN A TURN. SHE'S ASKED FOR YOU.
I SENT A MAN TO FETCH DR. KENNEDY.
GO ON. GO ON THERE.
[ Amy ] DON'T WORRY, MISS SWAFFER. I WON'T LEAVE YOU.
[ Chicken Cackling ] WHOA !
[ Clock Chiming ]
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CARE, AMY.
YOU WILL NOT BE NEEDED FURTHER.
IF YOU PLEASE, SIR, I INTENDED TO STAY WITH MISS SWAFER THROUGH THE NIGHT.
if i consider it necessary, i will stay.
LEAVE THE DOCTOR TO ATTEND ME, AMY.
[ Clattering ]
GOD BLESS YOU.
[ Miss Swaffer ] REALLY, DOCTOR-- YOUR CRUELTY WAS UNNECESSARY.
[ Boy ] IS SHE GOING TO DIE, MAMA ?
[ Amy ] DR. KENNEDY WILL LOOK AFTER HER.
[ Boy ] MAMA, WHO'S THE DOCTOR ?
[ Man ] COME ON, YOUNG MAN.
[ Miss Swaffer ] WHY DO YOU HATE HER SO MUCH ?
DO YOU, TOO, CONSIDER HER A SIMPLETON ?
IT IS NOT MY PURPOSE TO CONSIDER AMY FOSTER AT ALL.
YOU RISK GANGRENE OF THE BLOOD.
I MUST CUT AWAY THE POISONED FLESH,
OR IT WILL CARRY YOU WITH IT BEFORE THE NIGHT IS OVER.
PERHAPS THAT GIVES ME LICENSE TO BE BOLD.
RELUCTANT AS YOU MAY BE...
TO CONSIDER AMY,
IT WOULD COMFORT ME TO KNOW THE TALE ENTIRE.
IF I AM TO DIE-- YOU WILL NOT DIE.
I WILL NOT PERMIT IT.
PERHAPS IT WILL EASE MY FEVER.
AND YOURS TOO.
I DARE SAY NO ONE PERSON KNOWS THE TALE ENTIRE.
BUT PERHAPS I KNOW MORE THAN MOST.
HE SAID HE WAS A MOUNTAINEER.
THAT IS, A HIGHLANDER...
[ Chickens Cackling ] FROM A REMOTE CORNER OF THE CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS.
* [ Native Folk ]
THEY CALLED HIM YANKO.
[ Cheering, Shouting ]
HIS FAMILY SOLD A COW AND A PLOT OF PASTURE LAND...
IN ORDER TO PAY FOR HIS JOURNEY.
[ Encouraging Shouts ]
[ Fond Cries ]
* [ Continues ]
[ Speaking Ukrainian ] YAAH !
HEY ! [ Laughing ] [ Cheering ]
OH ! [ Ukrainian ] OH !
[ Crying ]
[ Kennedy ] YANKO CARRIED WITH HIM ALL THEIR HOPES AND DREAMS FOR A BETTER WORLD.
A LAND OF FREEDOM.
HE CALLED IT "A LAND OF TRUE GOLD."
AMERICA ! [ Crowd ] AMERICA !
[ Woman ] YANKO.
[ Ukrainian ]
[ Train Whistle Blows ]
YANKO !
[ Ukrainian ] STEFAN !
[ Grunts, Laughs ]
WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES.
"WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES" ?
[ Crowd Shouts Farewells ]
[ Kennedy ] THE JOURNEY WAS LONG AND GRUELING.
YANKO AND HIS COMPANIONS WERE LOCKED INSIDE THE CATTLE CARS.
[ Coughing ] DIRTY, HUNGRY AND COLD.
AFTER MANY DAYS, THE IRON TRACK FINALLY BROUGHT THEM TO THE SHIP...
IN WHICH THEY WOULD CROSS THE SEA.
[ Train Whistle Blows ]
[ Wheels Grinding ]
[ Whistle Continues ]
[ Shouting in German ]
STEFAN. [ Ukrainian ]
[ Chattering ]
[ German ]
STEFAN !
[ Ship's Horn Blows ]
STEFAN !
[ Ukrainian ]
- TO AMERICA ! - TO AMERICA !
TO AMERICA !
[ Miss Swaffer ] AT LEAST HE HAD HIS DREAM FOR COMPANY.
AND FOUND HIMSELF A NIGHTMARE.
UNTIL HE MET AMY FOSTER.
FATE IS BOTH INSCRUTABLE AND WITHOUT MERCY, MISS SWAFFER.
YOUR DETERMINATION TO BLAME AMY...
IS BEDFELLOW TO THOSE WHO SAY SHE HERSELF BROUGHT THE STORM THAT NIGHT.
OH, YOU INSULT ME, MISS SWAFFER.
WITCHCRAFT AND OTHER SUCH DESPICABLE SUPERSTITIONS ARE ABHORRENT TO ME.
I WON'T DENY, THOUGH, THAT I ALWAYS FOUND HER A STRANGE CREATURE.
SHE WAS THE PRODUCT OF A FAMILY SCANDAL THAT IMPOVERISHED HER PARENTS.
AND SHE'D BEEN SENT OUT TO WORK AT THE SMITHS' FARM WHEN ONLY 12 YEARS OLD.
I ADMIT, SHE WAS A MYSTERY TO ME.
BUT I NEVER THOUGHT AMY WAS A WITCH-- OR A SIMPLETON.
GO ON THERE NOW !
[ Thunder Crashing ]
[ Man ] TOM, WILLIAM-- GET THEM HORSES DOWN THE BACK MEADOW !
DOWN THE BACK MEADOW, I SAY; BUT MAKE IT SHARP !
THE DEVIL IS A-RIDIN' THIS WIND TONIGHT !
TOM, GET THEM PIGS OUT OF THERE.
MALCOLM ! WE'LL NEED SOME ROPE AND SOME TIMBER AS WELL !
AMY ! AMY FOSTER !
[ Glass Shattering ] [ Gasps ]
WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ?
[ Gasping ]
[ Woman ] AMY !
WHY ARE YOU IN THE DARK ? GO AND MAKE MR. SMITH SOME GOOD STRONG TEA.
[ Screaming, Crying ]
[ Shouting in German ]
[ Wood Creaking ]
[ Moaning ]
[ Shouting Continues ]
[ Groaning ]
[ Screams ]
[ Bell Tolling ]
WHAT'S UP ?
SHIP DOWN-- IN THE BAY !
[ Woman ] MY BOYS !
[ Crying ]
WHERE ARE MY FINE BOYS ?
DON'T FRET FOR YOUR BOYS, MOTHER. IT WAS AN IMMIGRANT SHIP.
IT WASN'T ONE OF OUR OWN.
[ Woman ] NOT ONE OF OUR OWN ?
PRAISES BE. PRAISES BE TO GOD.
- [ Another Woman, Shouting ] HOLD YOUR TONGUE, WIDOW CREE ! - [ Sobs ]
THE SEA WILL CURSE ME FOR THOSE WORDS. YOU'RE A FOOLISH OLD WOMAN !
[ Cree ] 'TIS A CURSE. [ Kennedy ] THERE, THERE, MOTHER. SHH !
- SHH ! - [ Woman ] WE WILL BE CURSED !
- QUIET. QUIET ! NO ONE ELSE IS GOING TO BE CURSED. - [ Sobbing ]
NOT ONE AMONGST YOU.
BUT WE WILL SEE OUR DUTY DONE BY THIS TRAGIC DAY. LADIES.
TAKE CARE FOR HER.
[ Sobbing ]
THE REST OF US HAVE WORK TO DO.
[ Woman ] DID YOU MANAGE TO SAVE ANY, DOCTOR ?
I HAVE LOOKED INTO EACH AND EVERY FACE,
AND THERE IS NOT A SOLITARY LIVING SOUL AMONGST THEM.
I WAS NOT IN SAFETY; NEITHER HAD I REST,
NEITHER WAS I QUIET--
YET TROUBLE CAME.
THERE'S NO MORE I CAN DO.
THESE SOULS ARE IN YOUR HANDS NOW.
THE AILMENTS OF THE LIVING...
DO NOT WAIT UPON THE DEAD.
[ Shivering ]
[ Rooster Crowing ]
[ Footsteps Approaching ]
- [ Woman Screaming ] - [ Dish Smashing ]
AMY-- FOR GOD'S SAKE, BOLT THE DOOR.
STAY AWAY FROM THAT WINDOW.
WI-- WILLIAM ! WILLIAM !
THERE'S A BEAST IN THE YARD !
[ William ] HELL'S BELLS, GIRL. WHAT IN DAMNATION IS GOING ON ?
[ Woman ] THERE'S A LUNATIC IN THE YARD.
A LUNATIC ? BY CHRIST, I'LL GET RID OF THE BLACKGUARD.
I'LL TEACH HIM TO GO 'ROUND FRIGHTENIN' WOMEN !
I'LL SORT HIM OUT. THAT I WILL.
[ Barking ]
ALL RIGHT, NOW. LET'S BE HAVIN' YA.
[ Screaming ]
ALL RIGHT, MY FRIEND.
IF YOU'LL JUST BEAR WITH ME A WHILE,
WE'LL JUST SEE IF BETWEEN THE TWO OF US WE CAN'T WORK SOMETHING OUT.
[ Ukrainian ]
[ Ukrainian Continues ]
[ William ] ALL RIGHT. WELL, YOU GO DOWN HERE. RIGHT DOWN HERE.
DOWN HERE.
[ Shouting In Ukrainian ] RIGHT DOWN THERE.
[ Shouting, Groaning ]
[ William ] CHRIST ALMIGHTY.
[ Amy ] DOG, GET DOWN. DOWN !
[ Dog Whimpering ]
- DON'T ! - [ Thudding ]
HE MEANT NO HARM.
GET YOU IN THAT HOUSE, GIRL.
GET YOU IN NOW !
GET YOU ON WITH YOUR WORK !
[ Panting, Grunting ]
[ Knocks ]
[ Water Dripping ]
CAN YOU EAT THIS ?
[ Ukrainian ]
THANK YOU FOR COMING OVER SO PROMPT, MR. SWAFFER, SIR.
I TELL YOU, THIS CHARACTER IS MADDER THAN A MARCH HARE.
I HAVEN'T SEEN A MARCH HARE IN A GOOD MANY YEARS.
LAST TIME I DID, HE SEEMED MUCH THE SAME...
AS ANY OTHER VARIETY.
PERHAPS YOU MISTAKE MY MEANING, SIR.
IT'S MY BELIEF, THOUGH NOT MINE ALONE, OF COURSE,
THAT THIS CREATURE IS ESCAPED FROM SOME LUNATIC ASYLUM OR SOMETHING.
THOUGH GOD KNOWS WHERE.
YOUR ADVICE WOULD BE A GENUINE COMFORT TO ME, SIR.
MIND, THOUGH. THESE MANIACS DO NOT LACK FOR CUNNING.
WHEN I WRESTLED HIM IN HERE, AND A SCRAP IT WERE,
HE LOOKED LIKE THE BEAST OF MALKIN MOOR.
INDEED, IT HAD CROSSED MY MIND THAT HE WERE THE SAME.
WATCH YOURSELF, SIR. HE'S A FIERCE DEVIL.
[ William ] OI, HE WAS FILTHY AS A PIG !
DID YOU OPEN THIS DOOR ?
WELL, YOU COULD HAVE GOT US ALL MURDERED IN OUR BEDS.
- HE WAS DIRTY. - YOU WASHED HIM ?
GOOD CHRIST, GIRL ! IF YOU WEREN'T SUCH A HELPLESS IDIOT,
I'D SUSPECT UNNATURAL PRACTICES.
NOW YOU GET BACK IN THAT HOUSE RIGHT NOW. RIGHT NOW !
[ Mr. Swaffer ] I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THIS MAN WOULD BENEFIT--
BENEFIT HIGHLY INDEED--
FROM THE SERVICES OF A GOOD GENTLEMAN'S BARBER.
BUT AS WE BOTH KNOW, TO OUR OWN COST...
SUCH IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THESE PARTS.
ALL TOO TRUE, SIR. ALL TOO TRUE.
JUST THE SAME, SIR, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND ME WHEN I SAY...
I DO BE DAMNED IF I KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIM.
HE IS A FUNNIOSITY.
[ William ] WELL, THAT'S THE LAST WE'LL SEE OF HIM. LET OLD SWAFFER SORT HIM OUT.
[ Yanko Shouting In Ukrainian ]
[ Kennedy ] IT MUST HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE THING TO FIND ONESELF...
LOST AND HELPLESS IN A FOREIGN LAND.
THAT WINTER, YANKO ENDURED AN OVERWHELMING LONELINESS.
I'M PAID TO HERD SHEEP, NOT DIG DITCHES FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S SHIT !
SWAFFER'S FORGOTTEN WHAT CENTURY WE'RE IN !
YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO DO ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF US, WON'T YOU, EH ?
[ Kennedy ] HE WORKED FOR NO WAGES. TO ALL INTENTS A SLAVE.
AND HE HAD NO LANGUAGE WITH WHICH TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF OR SAY WHERE HE HAD COME FROM.
HE TOLD ME LATER THAT HIS ONLY HOPE AND COMFORT...
WAS THE MEMORY OF THE GIRL WHO HAD GIVEN HIM BREAD.
I DON'T KNOW IF AMY EVER THOUGHT OF HIM.
HER LIFE CONTINUED WITHOUT VARIATION.
EACH SUNDAY, SHE WAS EXPECTED TO VISIT HER PARENTS,
MARY AND ISAAC FOSTER.
YOU'RE LATE.
[ Amy ] MOTHER. FATHER.
WHY DOES SHE KEEP COMIN' BACK HERE ?
SHE COMES TO HELP HER MOTHER. SHE DOESN'T COME FOR YOUR BENEFIT.
AH, SHE'S A QUEER SORT. ALWAYS HAS BEEN. IS IT ANY WONDER ?
THE WAY YOU TREAT HER. SILENCE THE BIRDS IN THE BLESSED TREES.
I PUT FOOD ON HER PLATE... SHE PUTS FOOD...
AND A ROOF OVER HER HEAD ! ON OUR TABLE NOW.
AND I'LL SAY WHAT I WANT IN MY OWN HOUSE.
YOUR HOUSE ? IT'S SWAFFER'S. IT WILL NEVER BE YOURS.
YOU-YOU REALLY THINK I NEED REMINDING OF THAT ?
BLOODY EMBARRASSMENT SHE IS. ISAAC--
PICKIN' UP BITS OF RUBBISH OFF THE BEACH, EH ?
EVERYBODY KNOWS, UH ?
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOIN' ?
- I AM TALKING TO YOU, LADY ! - ISAAC, PLEASE.
[ Door Closes ]
[ Kennedy ] ISAAC HAD BEEN STRUCK FROM HIS FATHER'S WILL...
AS PUNISHMENT FOR HIS SCANDALOUS MARRIAGE,
AND HE STILL BLAMED AMY FOR ALL THEIR WOES.
PERHAPS THAT'S WHY SHE USED SILENCE AS A WEAPON AGAINST THEM.
THEY, IN TURN, ISOLATED AMY FROM THE COMMUNITY...
AND SO SHE DIRECTED HER LOVE TOWARD THE SEA.
BUT THE SEA WAS NOT LOVER ENOUGH.
[ Sighs ] CHECK.
[ Sighs ] WELL, I'LL BE DAMNED, SIR, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ME AGAIN.
MM.
[ Inhales, Exhales Deeply ]
I KNOW YOU HAVE A HARD HEART AT CHESS, SWAFFER, BUT...
DON'T YOUR LABORERS GET THEIR HALF-DAY ON THE SABBATH ?
DON'T RIGHTLY KNOW IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'D CALL HIM.
SMITH CAUGHT HIM IN THE STACK YARD AT NEW BARNS.
RECKONS HIM TO BE A LUNATIC.
YOU'VE BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD NOW, DOCTOR.
SO TELL ME: DON'T YOU THINK THIS IS A BIT OF A HINDU WE'VE GOT HERE ?
[ Kennedy ] UNLESS HE'S UNDERGONE...
AN UNLIKELY CONVERSION, HE'S NO HINDU.
OH, HE-HE PUTS ME SOMEWHAT IN MIND OF THE BASQUE PEOPLE.
¿ HABLAR ESPANOL ? ¿ SENOR ?
ERES EN INGLATERRA.
I-INGLATERRA.
UH, PARLEZ-VOUS FRANCAIS ?
COMPRENEZ-VOUS ?
[ Halting English ] THANK YOU, SIR.
[ Laughs ] HE PICKED UP A WORD OR TWO FROM THE DAUGHTER.
SEEMS TO CALL HIMSELF "YANKOO GOORAL."
YANKO !
PLEASE. PLEASE ?
OH, YES, UH, BY ALL MEANS.
MOSCOW.
TOLSTOY. CHEKOV.
OH, DAMN. THINK, MAN.
THE VOLGA. KIEV. KIEV ?
KIEV ! [ Ukrainian ]
YOU SEE, SWAFFER, HE'S A RUSSIAN !
A RUSSIAN ?
PRECISELY, THEY'RE GREAT PLAYERS OF CHESS, ARE THEY NOT ?
[ Ukrainian ] ...TO AMERICA.
AMERICA.
HOW LONG HAS THIS MAN BEEN HERE ?
SINCE LATE WINTER, A COUPLE OF MONTHS. WHEN, EXACTLY ?
WELL, THE DAUGHTER'S BETTER WITH DATES THAN I AM. 'TWAS FEBRUARY THE 18th.
THE DAY THE SEA GAVE UP ITS DEAD.
SWAFFER, YOU HAVE HERE THE ONLY SURVIVOR OF THE EASTBAY DISASTER...
OF APPALLING MEMORY.
DR. JAMES KENNEDY.
KENNEDY ! KENNEDY. [ Laughs ]
DO YOU THINK HE KNOWS...
THAT ALL HIS COMPANIONS PERISHED ?
I DON'T KNOW.
IF YOU COULD SPARE HIM FROM HIS WORK FROM TIME TO TIME...
IT WOULD PLEASE ME TO TRY TO TEACH HIM ENGLISH.
I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.
PERHAPS YOU CAN GET HIM TO TEACH YOU CHESS.
THEN YOUR VISITS HERE MIGHT BE WORTH YOUR MAKING THE JOURNEY.
[ Laughs ]
[ Chuckles ]
SIT DOWN.
EAT.
[ Clinking ]
IT WILL BE REGULAR FROM NOW ON.
IT'S MONEY. [ Clinking ]
YOU'LL WORK DAYLIGHT HOURS, WITH SUNDAYS OFF.
AND WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR OWN TIME'S YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
THERE IS A GIRL AT THE FARM.
A GIRL ? YOU MEAN OUR AMY ?
AMY. PERHAPS IT IS HER NAME.
A GRACIOUS LADY OF GREAT BEAUTIFUL.
WHO, OUR AMY ?
Y-YOU'VE GOT AS MUCH CHANCE WITH SWAFFER'S MARE !
A-AND A BETTER TIME OF IT, TOO, I SHOULDN'T WONDER.
AMY ! [ Laughing ]
MR. SWAFFER ! YOU'VE BROUGHT THE LUMBER.
WILLIAM WILL BE SO PLEASED. [ Sighs ]
HE HASN'T HEARD THE PRICE YET.
AH ! PLEASE COME AND HAVE SOME TEA.
CUP OF TEA WOULD BE RIGHT CIVILIZED.
YOU TWO STAY OUT HERE.
THANK YOU.
HOLD ON, AMY.
HAVEN'T YOU GOT A MINUTE FOR YOUR POOR OLD FATHER ?
FATHER.
THIS LAD 'ERE THINKS YOU'RE A GRACIOUS LADY. DID YOU KNOW THAT ?
[ Isaac Laughs ]
[ Imitates Yanko ] "GREAT BEAUTIFUL."
AND COME TO THINK OF IT, YOU DO LOOK QUITE FETCHIN' IN THAT PINNY. [ Laughs ]
[ Isaac ] CAN'T TAKE A JOKE, SEE ?
[ Shouts ] MM. MM-MM.
DON'T YOU WANT YOUR CAKE THEN ?
[ Laughing ]
NO, KENNEDY. MOVE NO GOOD.
"THAT-IS-NOT A-GOOD-MOVE."
"DAT-IS-NOT A-GOOD-MOVE."
PRECISELY !
YOU LEARN ENGLISH FASTER THAN I LEARN CHESS. [ Chuckles ]
MISS, UH, HELPS I-- UH, ME ! THAT'S RIGHT. MISS SWAFFER.
WHY IS THE MISS IN...
UM, CART CHAIR ?
WELL, SOME 20 YEARS AGO,
SHE WAS ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED.
AND ON THE EVE OF THE WEDDING DAY,
SHE FELL FROM HER HORSE.
IT SEEMS SHE HAD A PASSION FOR RIDING AND SHE BROKE HER SPINE.
THE MARRIAGE-- IT WAS, UH...
QUIETLY FORGOTTEN BY HER INTENDED,
IF NOT BY MISS SWAFFER.
OH, THAT IS WHY SHE WEARS ALWAYS...
UM, CLOTHES OF BLACK ?
IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE REASON ENOUGH TO DO SO.
WHY YOU HAVE NOT MARRIED, KENNEDY ?
OH, I WAS. A LIFETIME AGO.
TWO LIFETIMES, IN FACT. MY WIFE AND CHILD--
A SON--
THE TYPHUS EPIDEMIC OF '74 TOOK THEM BOTH.
ON THE SAME NIGHT.
BUT YOU DO NOT WEAR THE BLACK.
NO.
CHESS LIKE IN THE LIFE, YES ?
YOU MUST LOOK TO THE FORWARD.
FAR TO THE FORWARD.
[ Sighs ] HMM.
[ Clock Chiming ]
CHECKMATE.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Kennedy Laughing ]
[ Horse Panting ]
[ Yanko ] HEY, HEY ! HEY !
-HO! HO! GO! -NOT SO FAST.
WHOA ! WHOA ! [ Whistles ]
[ Chattering ]
[ Peddler ] LOVELY CRUSTY COB HERE !
CRUSTY COBS ! LOVELY FRESH BREAD.
NICE HOG'S HEAD. NICE AND FRESH.
[ Shoppers, Vendors Chattering ]
THERE WE GO. THERE'S YOUR RIBBON AND YOUR CHANGE.
THANK YOU.
[ Woman ] CAN I HELP YOU, SIR ?
MY, MY, MY. I THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT...
IT WAS THE PRINCE OF WALES.
OH, THESE WELL AND STRONG. BUT I HAVE BETTER.
A REAL SUIT. LIKE YOURS.
VERY HANDSOME, I'M SURE.
AND THE OTHER ? THIS IS...
MY MYSTERY.
THIS IS MY SECRET.
WELL, EVERY MAN IS ENTITLED TO HIS SECRETS.
ESPECIALLY IF HE HAS A FINE SUIT. [ Chuckles ]
[ Knocking ]
GRACIOUS LADY.
FORGIVE ME.
- THANK YOU. - THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I WOULD LIKE, WITH YOUR ACCEPTING--
IF YOU WOULD BE PLEASED-- [ Gasping ]
FORGIVE ME. I SHALL LIKE--
I SHALL LIKE TO WALK OUT WITH YOU.
YOU WILL ?
[ Ukrainian ]
THANK YOU. BLESSINGS.
UM, WHEN MAY I CALL AGAIN ?
SUNDAY IS MY DAY.
SUNDAY. THANK YOU.
[ Woman ] AMY ? EH, HAVE YOU FINISHED THAT FLOOR YET ?
[ Shouting ] AYE-YA-HA !
[ Ukrainian ]
YOU BLOODY LUNATIC !
OI, OI. LOOK WHO'S HERE.
[ William ] IT'S THAT GYPO. [ Man ] OI ! DOES SWAFFER KNOW YOU'RE RUNNING LOOSE ?
I TELL YOU, MALCOLM, THAT MAN MUST BE SOME KIND OF EPILEPTIC.
[ William ] THE DEVIL TAKE ME !
AMY, YOU BETTER GET BACK IN THAT KITCHEN SHARP, NOW !
BEFORE THE MISSUS COMES HOME.
WELL, I NEVER DID !
I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING, YOUNG LADY.
DO YOU HEAR ME, AMY ?
THERE'LL BE HELL TO PAY WHEN YOUR FATHER FINDS OUT. YOU MARK MY WORDS !
AMY ! AMY !
[ Amy ] IS YOUR COUNTRY BEAUTIFUL ?
[ Yanko ] YES. THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE ARE STRONG AND GOOD.
- THIS IS-- - THE SEA.
THE ANCIENT SEA. THE DARK SEA.
THE CRUEL SEA.
- THAT'S WHERE YOU CAME FROM. - I NEVER SAW SUCH A THING.
ONLY REMEMBER BLACKNESS AND WIND...
AND THE CRYING OF CHILDREN.
IT'S WHERE ALL THE HEARTS OF THE EARTH...
THAT HAVE BEEN LOST TO LOVE AND TO FEAR...
LIE WAITING TO BE REBORN.
THIS IS NOT CHRISTIAN.
YOU MUST BE MAD YOURSELF, GIRL,
TO TAKE UP WITH A MAN WHO IS SURELY WRONG IN THE HEAD.
IF YOU'D LOOKED INTO HIS EYES--
AS I HAVE--
YOU'D BE ABLE TO TELL FOR YOURSELF.
THAT MAN IS DANGEROUS.
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO MR. AND MRS. SMITH, EVEN IF YOU WON'T LISTEN TO US.
THEY CARE ABOUT YOU. THEY KNOW WHAT'S BEST.
WE'RE ALREADY THE TALK OF THE PARISH. WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME.
WE'RE THE EXPERTS, AREN'T WE ?
IT'S A DONKEY'S AGE SINCE I EXPECTED AUGHT OF YOU AS A HUSBAND, ISAAC FOSTER,
BUT YOU COULD TRY TO BE SOME KIND OF FATHER TO YOUR CHILDREN.
ISAAC, PLEASE. JUST TELL HER TO STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
I GOT NO RIGHT TO TELL HER ANYTHIN'.
[ Mary ] I SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH YOUR FATHER.
BUT I LOVE HIM ! GO ON, GO ON.
HAVE YOUR WAY WITH YOUR GYPO !
AMY ? AMY.
WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, I WAS FOOLISH TOO.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ? I WAS IN LOVE.
YOU AND FATHER WERE MARRIED LATE, I--
I KNOW YOU WERE ALREADY EXPECTING ME BY THEN. AMY !
[ Whispering ] THAT MADNESS IN THE BLOOD IS A TREACHEROUS THING.
IT'S GOD'S TRICK UPON US WOMEN. YOU MUST--
MARY, STOP YOUR NATTERING AND GET HER OUT OF MY HOUSE.
[ Door Bangs ]
[ Footsteps Departing ]
OI ! YES, SIR.
NOW, I DON'T SUPPOSE IT'S ANY OF MY BUSINESS HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE.
FAIR ENOUGH. BUT IF I CATCH YOU AROUND MY FARM AGAIN,
I'M GONNA BREAK YOUR HEAD, BOY.
[ Both Screaming ]
[ Screaming ] YAAH !
AND I CAN'T SAY FAIRER THAN THAT !
[ Bell Tolling ]
[ Chattering ]
[ Wagon Clattering ]
[ Door Opening ]
[ Man ] AMY !
HAVEN'T SEEN YOU HERE SINCE YOUR SCHOOL DAYS.
YOUR FRIEND-- IF THAT'S THE REASON FOR YOUR VISIT--
DID NOT ATTEND THE SERVICE.
AMY !
FORGIVE ME, I AM OUT OF THE TIME TO BE WITH YOU.
SHH ! YOU ARE WITH ME NOW.
THEIR FACES ARE SO HARD.
THEIR EYES, LIKE GLASS.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS.
I DO NOT. I DON'T CARE TO UNDERSTAND THEM.
BUT WE NEED, YES ?
I EAT WITH THEM, I WORK WITH THEM--
BUT I DO NOT LIVE WITH THEM.
AND I DON'T NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEM.
[ Chuckles ] HOW DO YOU KNOW I'M HERE ?
"IN MEMORY OF THAT VALIANT COMPANY...
"WHICH BRAVED THE SEA...
"IN SEARCH OF A NEW WORLD...
AND DIED IN SIGHT OF THIS GROUND."
BEAUTIFUL WORD, I THINK.
BUT FOR WHO IT IS ? WHO-- WHO IS DEAD ?
IT'S FOR THE SHIP. YOUR SHIP.
MY SHIP ? MY SHIP IS IN AMERICA !
YOU-- YOUR SHIP WAS SWALLOWED UP BY THE SEA.
NO ONE WAS LEFT ALIVE... EXCEPT YOU.
STEFAN ? ALL-- ALL THE CHILDREN ?
THEY'RE ALL HERE.
[ Crying ]
DON'T BE SAD, MY BEAUTY.
COME WITH ME.
[ Sobbing ]
THIS IS WHERE I LIVE.
DO YOU LIKE MY HOME ?
THESE THINGS-- HOW DID YOU GET ?
THEY ARE THE GIFTS OF THE SEA.
I NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO COME.
BUT THEY ARE ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL.
YOU COME FROM THE SEA.
[ Man #1 ] WOULDN'T WANT TO LOSE MY DAUGHTER TO A CHARACTER LIKE THAT.
[ Man #2 ] I EXPECT NOW THEY'LL HAVE TO BE WED.
THERE'S BEEN NO TALK OF MARRIAGE.
THESE FOREIGNERS BEHAVE VERY QUEERLY WITH WOMEN, YOU KNOW.
HARK AT THE WORLDLY WISE WHEELWRIGHT. [ Laughs ]
HE'S NEVER BEEN FURTHER AFIELD THAN TRURO MARKET.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FOREIGNERS ? OR WOMEN ?
ALL I'M SAYIN' IS, IS HOW THESE GYPSIES DO TAKE ADVANTAGE.
HE'S CAST A GLAMOUR OVER HER.
THAT'S WHAT THEY DO.
MIND YOU, IF THEY DO GET WED,
SHE WON'T FIND OUT MUCH SHE AIN'T ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT ?
YOU'LL MISS THE MONEY TOO, I DARE SAY.
GIRL GIVE ALL HER WAGES TO HER MOTHER, DON'T SHE ?
TAKE NO NOTICE, ISAAC. JACK'S GOT A RIGHT MOOD ON HIM.
NO, NO, NO ! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY AMY IS SO FAMILIAR WITH.
ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT THINGS HAVE BEEN SEEN.
AND NOT SPECULATIONS OR IMAGININGS, BUT THINGS.
THIS VERY AFTERNOON, DOWN BY THE WRECKERS' CAVE.
I'LL TEACH YOU A LESSON, AS BIG AS YOU ARE.
GENTLEMEN ! GENTLEMEN !
ISN'T IT SOMEONE ELSE...
NEEDS TEACHING A LESSON, EH ?
AMY ! AMY !
YOU THINK YOU'RE IT, DON'T YOU ? FATHER !
HOBNOBBIN' WITH THE BLOODY DOCTOR--
LAYING YOUR FILTHY HANDS ON MY DAUGHTER !
[ Groans ]
FATHER, STOP IT ! FATHER, LEAVE HIM ALONE !
LEAVE HIM ALONE ! LEAVE HIM ALONE !
FATHER, STOP IT ! FATHER, LEAVE HIM ALONE !
LEAVE HIM ALONE, FATHER !
NO, FATHER, NOT THE SEA !
FATHER, STOP IT !
I'LL PUT YOU BACK OUT IN THE SEA...
WITH THE REST OF 'EM !
[ Amy ] YANKO !
OH, NO !
FATHER !
[ Gasping, Coughing ]
[ Knocking ]
YANKO ! MY DEAR FELLOW.
CAREFULLY, NOW.
RIGHT. AMY, WAIT FOR US IN THE PARLOR.
PLEASE ! I MUST TEND TO HIM.
[ Kennedy ] I CAN GUESS WELL ENOUGH WHO DID THIS.
BUT WHY ?
THEY SAID I WAS TO STAY AWAY.
THEY SAID IF I WAS TO MARRY HER,
THEY WOULD PUT ME BACK INTO THE SEA.
MARRY WHO ?
WHY, AMY.
AMY--
FOSTER'S GIRL ?
YES. I HAVE BEEN WALKING WITH HER.
YOU DID NOT KNOW THIS ?
HAS SHE AGREED TO MARRY ?
I HAVE NOT ASKED, BUT I WILL.
YOU'RE SURE OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING ?
IT IS THE WISH OF MY HEART.
I DO NOT LIKE TO SPEAK OF THINGS IN WHICH I AM NOT AN EXPERT.
CLOSE YOUR EYE.
BUT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT AMY HAS ALWAYS BEEN...
A LITTLE STRANGE.
STRANGE ? EXPLAIN ME.
HER MOTHER BROUGHT HER TO SEE ME WHEN AMY WAS NINE YEARS OLD.
SHE'D BEEN AT THE PARISH SCHOOL FOR THREE YEARS,
AND YET SHE HAD MADE NOT THE SLIGHTEST ATTEMPT TO LEARN TO READ OR WRITE.
[ Gasps ] YES. ALMOST DONE.
SO, I EXAMINED THE CHILD.
SHE SPOKE NOT A WORD TO ME.
I COULD FIND NO OBVIOUS CAUSE FOR HER RETARDATION.
I PRESUMED SHE WAS SLOW OF MIND.
AND THEN, THE VERY NEXT WEEK,
TO THE ASTONISHMENT OF ALL-- INCLUDING MYSELF--
SHE BEGAN TO READ AND WRITE.
AND PERFECTLY ADEQUATELY TOO.
SHE KEPT IT UP FOR A MONTH,
AND THEN SHE STOPPED.
AND AS FAR AS ANYONE KNOWS,
SHE HAS PICKED UP NEITHER PEN NOR PAPER EVER SINCE.
YOU ARE NOT HAPPY FOR ME.
I'M ALWAYS HAPPY...
TO SEE A FRIEND FOLLOW THE WISH OF HIS HEART.
I HAVE FOUND MY TRUE GOLD.
THEN...
YOU MUST HOLD ON TO IT.
LOOK, UH, YOU MUST REST HERE UNTIL YOU'RE FIT.
I'LL SHOW YOU TO YOUR ROOM.
WHERE IS AMY ? [ Coughing ]
YOU INHALED A LOT OF SEA WATER.
YOUR LUNGS WILL BE VULNERABLE.
[ Amy ] I'LL TAKE HIM.
WHAT, TO THE SWAFFERS' ? NO, THAT'S MILES.
NO, I-- REALLY, AMY, I MUST INSIST.
I'LL CARE FOR HIM.
KENNEDY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR CARE.
YOU MADE ME WELL.
VERY WELL.
FOSTER, YOU ARE BENEATH MY CONTEMPT,
AND NO DOUBT YOUR DAUGHTER'S TOO.
BUT FOR THE REST OF YOU,
YOU ALL SAW THE BODIES OF THAT MAN'S...
TRAGIC COMPANIONS, LAID OUT IN THEIR HUNDREDS...
BY THE VERY CHURCH IN WHICH YOU ALL SO PIOUSLY PRETEND TO PRAY.
YOU HAVE DISGRACED THIS COMMUNITY !
AND BEAR IN MIND--
AS YOU SWILL YOUR ALE AND TELL YOUR FILTHY TALES--
THAT TO TAKE PART IN THE VIOLENCE OF THE MOB...
IS AS LOW AS A MAN WHO CALLS HIMSELF A MAN CAN FALL.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS.
DO NOT YOU THREATEN ME, BLACKSMITH.
FOR IF IT WERE NOT AT ODDS WITH MY VOCATION,
I WOULD TAKE YOU OUTSIDE AND TREAT YOU TO THE THRASHING YOU SO RICHLY DESERVE.
GOOD NIGHT, GENTLEMEN.
[ Sighs ] HMM.
AND, UH, SO, SIR AND MISS,
UH, I, UH,
ASK YOU TO BE GIVEN YOUR PERMISSION TO MARRY MISS AMY FOSTER.
WELL, HE WON'T GET ANY OTHER GIRL TO MARRY HIM.
GO TO DARNFORD TODAY.
ASK MY GOOD BROTHER-IN-LAW IF HE WILL PAY US A VISIT.
TOM, GET MY HORSE.
MARY, TAKE NO NOTICE.
LET PEOPLE SAY WHAT THEY WANT.
I'M TELLING YOU, NO GOOD'LL COME OF THIS !
[ Knocking ]
MARY. ISAAC.
EXCUSE US FOR BOTHERING YOU, MRS. SMITH.
COME IN. AMY.
YOU'RE COMING HOME WITH US THIS INSTANT.
- DO YOU HEAR ME ? - NO.
OH !
LEAVE. LEAVE HER BE ?
[ Mary ] ISAAC, I'LL PROTECT YOU NO LONGER.
I WAS CARRYING YOU BEFORE HE EVER LAID HANDS ON ME.
CARRYING YOU FOR HIS FATHER.
I SLAVED FOR THEM LIKE YOU SLAVE FOR THIS LOT.
AND THEY BOTH HAD THEIR FILL--
THE FATHER AND THE SON.
ISAAC'S FATHER IS YOUR FATHER.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ? ISAAC IS YOUR BROTHER.
SEE ? NOT A WORD. NOT A TEAR.
BAD YOU WERE CONCEIVED, AND BAD YOU'VE REMAINED.
COME ON. COME ON, MARY. IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[ Sobs ] COME ON.
AMY AIN'T HERE.
PERHAPS SHE DID GO BACK TO HER MOTHER'S AFTER ALL.
[ Panting ]
[ Gasps ]
CHRIST ! I THOUGHT FOSTER SAID SHE'D BE AT THE SMITHS' ALL NIGHT.
[ Fire Crackling ]
NO !
BAD YOU WERE CONCEIVED,
AND BAD YOU'LL REMAIN.
AMY !
[ Screams ]
QUICK !
THEY'VE TAKEN MY HOME !
WHATEVER THEY DO TO US,
WHATEVER THEY TAKE FROM US,
I'M YOUR HOME.
AND YOU'RE MINE.
WHOA !
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT ISN'T THAT THE ONLY DECENT SUIT YOU OWN ?
I SUPPOSE WE'LL HAVE TO FIT YOU OUT WITH ANOTHER.
THAT ONE CERTAINLY WON'T DO.
I EXPECT YOU'LL BE NEEDING SOME FLOWERS, MISS FOSTER.
JUMP ON BOARD, THEN. YOU TOO, MISS FOSTER.
UP YOU GET ! GO ON, THEN.
OFF WE GO.
ON, ME BEAUTY.
WELL, GET DOWN.
GO ON. GO ON !
[ Clears Throat ]

YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'VE COME FROM THE WARS.
[ Clears Throat ] WELL, HERE.
PLEASE--
UH, WELL, MY FATHER-IN-LAW-- MR. SWAFFER, HERE--
HAS ASKED ME TO LEGALLY EXPEDITE THIS DEED OF REALTY.
UH, WELL, THIS COTTAGE-- AND THE APPORTIONED ACRE OF LAND--
HAVE BEEN MADE OVER TO YOU...
IN ABSOLUTE PROPERTY,
WITHOUT LIMITS OF TIME,
AND WITH FULL AND PROPER RIGHTS OF OWNERSHIP.
[ Laughs ] PLEASE.
THE COTTAGE IS YOURS...
AND THE LAND TOO.
[ Yanko ] ARE YOU HAPPY, MY LOVE ? [ Amy ] SO HAPPY.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SIR.
DON'T THANK ME. I-- I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT OF IT.
IT WAS THE DAUGHTER'S IDEA.
[ Yanko ] THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
NOW, CAN WE ALL PLEASE GO HOME ?
AMY FOSTER,
WILL YOU BE MARRIED TO ME ?
...POUR UPON YOU THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE,
SANCTIFY AND BLESS YOU, THAT YE MAY PLEASE...
IN BOTH BODY AND SOUL...
AND LIVE TOGETHER IN HOLY LOVE UNTO YOUR LIVES END.
WILL YOU NOW STEP FORWARD TO SIGN THE REGISTER ?
AMY, YOU MIND THAT SLAVE DRIVER SWAFFER.
YOU MAKE SURE HE DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU.
AND, UH, YOU POP ROUND AND SEE US FROM TIME TO TIME.
AMY ?
DON'T PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MISSUS.
SHE'S JUST, UH-- SHE'S JUST SORRY TO SEE YOU GO.
THANK YOU, MR. SMITH.
[ Whispering ] WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES.
YOU HAVE A SON ! [ Laughs ]
OH ! OH !
THEY ARE WAITING FOR YOU.
THANK YOU.
HE TOLD ME HE WANTS TO SEE THE SEA.
WILL YOU SHOW HIM FOR ME ?
[ Ukrainian ]
UP.
THE SEA.
[ Horse Hooves Clapping ]
SHH ! IT'S A BASTARD, THAT BABY.
[ Boy #2 ] YEAH, IT IS. [ Boy #3 ] IT'S GOT A TAIL, THAT BABY.
LOOK AT IT ! GO AWAY.
[ Laughing, Jeering ] GYPSY ! GYPSY !
- GO AWAY ! - [ Yelling ]
WHAT'S GOIN' ON HERE, THEN, EH ?
SHE JUST SLAPPED HIM. SLAPPED HIM !
NEVER COME NEAR MY BABY AGAIN.
ANY OF YOU !
WELL !
[ Baby Crying ]
[ Crying ] SHH !
[ Sobbing ]
AMY ! WHAT IS WRONG ?
SHH !
WHAT HAS HAPPENED ?
YANKO.
IT SEEMS A GOOD WHILE SINCE YOU CALLED ON ME.
I PAY MY WAY.
I WORK MY WORK.
I TAKE NOTHING.
THEN WHY STILL THE HATING ?
BECAUSE YOU'VE COME FROM FAR AWAY.
EVERYONE COMES FROM SOMEWHERE !
IT SEEMS WITHOUT SENSE, I KNOW.
BUT TO THEM, YOU ARE STRANGE. YOU'RE DIFFERENT.
IT FORMS A GULF BETWEEN YOU AND THEM THAT CANNOT BE BRIDGED.
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT; BUT FOR ME, I ACCEPT.
I'M STRONG.
BUT FOR AMY AND OUR BOY, I DO NOT ACCEPT.
WELL, AMY IS DIFFERENT TOO.
AND MY BOY, KENNEDY, I WOULD LIKE, WHEN HE'S A MAN,
TO TALK WITH ME IN MY OWN TONGUE.
WELL, THAT SEEMS NATURAL ENOUGH.
BUT I DON'T WANT THAT IT SHOULD HARM HIM.
I DON'T WANT TO MAKE HIM ALONE, TO MAKE HIM DIFFERENT.
IT WOULD GRIEVE ME IF YOU WERE TO GO,
BUT PERHAPS YOU SHOULD LEAVE HERE.
AMY NOW IS HOME,
AND SHE IS HERE.
BUT MY BOY--
YES, MY BOY WILL LEAVE WHEN HE IS A MAN.
I DON'T WANT HE FARM AND HERD SHEEP, NOT LIKE ME.
I WANT HIM TO BE...
LIKE YOU.
LIKE ME ?
OH, I WOULD CERTAINLY THINK TWICE ABOUT THAT.
YES ! I WANT HIM TO HAVE THE LEARNING OF GREAT MEN.
I WANT HIM TO LOVE THE MYSTERY OF OUR UNIVERSE.
YES ! LIKE YOU.
YOU WILL HELP HIM ?
I'D BE PROUD TO.
YES ?
YES.
THEN...
ALL IS GOOD.
YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT HEALTHY TO BE TOO ISOLATED.
YOU SHOULD COME AND VISIT ME.
I'VE MISSED OUR CONVERSATIONS.
AND MY CHESS HASN'T GOT ANY BETTER EITHER.
AND AMY ?
AMY ?
IS AMY TO VISIT WITH ME TOO ?
OH, WELL, IT-IT WASN'T WHAT I HAD IN MIND, BUT YES.
YOU DO NOT LIKE AMY.
YANKO, THAT'S NOT TRUE.
IS TRUE. I'VE SEEN YOUR EYES.
I BEAR AMY NO MALICE AT ALL.
IT'S JUST THAT I DON'T FEEL SHE'LL BE A VERY GOOD COMPANION OVER DINNER.
YANKO !
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
YANKO--
[ Kennedy ] IT WAS A HARD WINTER.
YES, AND HIS LUNGS WERE VULNERABLE.
YET HE WAS VERY TOUGH.
HE WAS HOMESICK.
PHYSIOLOGICALLY, THAT MADE THE FATEFUL DIFFERENCE.
AMY WAS HIS HOME.
HE SURVIVED THE HORROR OF THE WRECK.
HE LEARNED OUR TONGUE.
HE ENDURED THE HATRED AND VIOLENCE.
HE EARNED HIS PROPERTY AND HIS JOB.
AND HE DID THESE THINGS BECAUSE HE FOUND HIS HOME IN THE HEART OF AMY FOSTER,
AS SHE FOUND HER HOME IN HIS.
SHE DID NOT TAKE CARE FOR HIM !
SIT DOWN.
PLEASE.
YOU CANNOT IMAGINE HOW MUCH SHE TOOK CARE FOR HIM.
[ Yanko Coughing ]
BE STILL, MY LOVE.
YANKO.
[ Talking Quietly ]
[ Coughing ]
YOU.
TAKE THAT COUGH ON HOME, AND KEEP WARM.
GO ON. HOME.
[ Coughing ]
[ Thunder Rumbling ]
[ Moaning, Mumbling ]
[ Crying ]
[ Knocking ]
MY GOD, WHAT A NIGHT !
THERE'S SICKNESS ALL OVER THE PARISH.
HE KEEPS ON SAYING SOMETHING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT.
[ Mumbling ]
I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE SAYS.
HIS LUNGS ARE CONGESTED. HE HAS PNEUMONIA.
HIGH FEVER-- THAT'S WHAT'S MAKING HIM SENSELESS.
CAN'T YOU ASK SOMEONE TO COME IN ?
JUST FOR TONIGHT ?
PLEASE, SIR, NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE TO COME.
[ Thunder Rumbling ]
THE FEVER WILL GET WORSE BEFORE IT BREAKS.
KEEP HIM COVERED. SPONGE HIS BROW.
AS MUCH FLUIDS AS HE WILL TAKE, AND THIS--
IT'LL HELP THE FEVER A LITTLE.
THERE'S SOME OPIUM IN IT...
TO GIVE HIM SOME REST.
TWO TABLESPOONS, EVERY SIX HOURS.
I MUST GO NOW.
I'VE ANOTHER 15 MILES TO MAKE.
MR. SWAFFER MIGHT COME OVER, SIR, IF YOU WERE TO ASK HIM.
MR. SWAFFER ?
I'M AFRAID MY ROUNDS WILL TAKE ME IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
I'LL BE BACK ABOUT HALF-PAST 3:00.
[ Coughing ]
SHH.
[ Mumbling ]
[ Coughing ]
YOU MUST TAKE THIS.
KENNEDY SAID SO. KENNEDY.
- [ Screaming ] - SHH !
[ Baby Crying ]
OH ! SHH.
[ Gasps ]
[ Crying ]
SHH !
[ Moaning ] SHH !
I'M HERE, MY LOVE.
AND STEFAN, YOUR LITTLE MAN.
WE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.
KENNEDY IS COMING.
KENNEDY.
WHOA ! WHOA ! [ Man ] IT'S DR. KENNEDY !
GET THAT THING OUT OF MY WAY !
DOCTOR, THE WAGON'S BOGGED DOWN IN THE MUD.
WE CAN'T GET HER OUT. SHE'S TOO HEAVY.
THEN LIGHTEN THE LOAD, MAN !
[ Yanko Coughing ] [ Thunder Crashing ]
[ Muttering In Ukrainian ]
YANKO, ENGLISH.
YOU MUST SPEAK ENGLISH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
[ Ukrainian ]

[ Women Screaming ]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, MY LOVE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT. PLEASE.

[ Yanko Coughing ]
[ Yanko Shouting In Ukrainian ]
PLEASE ! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP YOU. [ Shouting In Ukrainian ]
NO !
NO, DON'T ! DON'T !
YOU MUSTN'T HARM THE BABY.
[ Shouting ]
[ Crying ] I WON'T LET YOU.
[ Ukrainian ] TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT.
[ Ukrainian ] JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT !
DON'T !
[ Ukrainian ]
[ Sobbing ] [ Crying ]
[ Yanko Shouting In Ukrainian ]
[ Knocking ]
MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN SICK.
VERY SICK.
I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME SIT WITH HIM.
YOU NEVER THOUGHT TO BRING OUR GRANDSON BEFORE.
YOU NEVER INVITED US.
THEN ASK OLD SWAFFER. I EXPECT HE'S INVITED YOU.
SWAFFERS' IS SIX MILES !
THE SMITHS' EVEN FURTHER.
[ Isaac ] THAT DRAFT'LL BE THE DEATH OF US !
WHO'S OUT THERE ?
JUST A GYPSY WOMAN SELLING CURSES.
I ALWAYS LOVED YOU, MAMA,
EVEN IF YOU COULD NEVER LOVE ME.
[ Stefan Crying ]
STOP! PLEASE, SIR ! STOP, PLEASE !
MRS. FINN, MA'AM.
WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE WITH THAT POOR INFANT ?
DO YOU WANT TO KILL HIM ? PLEASE, MA'AM, MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN VERY SICK.
I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME SIT WITH HIM.
I HAVE MY OWN TO LOOK AFTER, AS DO WE ALL.
YOU JUST GET THAT BABY INDOORS !
DRIVER !
[ Crying Continues ]
[ Stefan Fussing ] SHH.
[ Mr. Swaffer ] AMY, WE BETTER GO. GO TO YOUR HUSBAND.
YOUR BABY WILL BE SAFE.
YANKO !
[ Coughs ]
[ Whispering ] GONE.
SHE IS GONE.
I MUST GET MY BAG.
I'LL BE BACK IN A MOMENT.
WHERE IS SHE ?
I DON'T KNOW.
DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG ?
PLEASE.
DID SHE NOT LOVE ME NOW ANYMORE ?
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT IS, I'M SURE.
I ONLY ASKED FOR A LITTLE WATER !
ONLY A LITTLE WATER.
EXCUSE ME. I MUST GET MY BAG.
I WOULD CHANGE NOTHING,
MY LOVE.
MY GOLD.
I WOULD CHANGE NOTHING.
NOR WOULD I.
WE ARE THE LUCKY ONES.
YANKO !
WHY DID YOU LEAVE HIM ?
DID YOU NOT LISTEN TO A WORD I SAID ?
WHY DID YOU LET HIM DIE ?
ALL HE WANTED WAS A DRINK OF WATER !
JUST WATER !
[ Kennedy ] THAT BRAVE ADVENTURER--
WHO HAD CROSSED AN IMPOSSIBLE GULF IN ORDER TO LOVE HER--
LAY COLD AND LIFELESS IN HER ARMS.
YET AMY FOSTER UTTERED NOT A WORD.
AND NOW THAT HE IS NO LONGER BEFORE HER EYES...
TO EXCITE HER IMAGINATION TO A PASSION OF LOVE OR FEAR,
HER MEMORY OF HIM SEEMS TO HAVE VANISHED FROM HER BRAIN,
AS A SHADOW PASSES FROM A SCREEN.
AND I HAVE ASKED MYSELF,
"IS HIS IMAGE AS UTTERLY GONE FROM HER MIND...
AS HIS LITHE AND STRIDING FIGURE IS GONE FROM OUR FIELDS ?"
[ Miss Swaffer ] DOCTOR !
DR. KENNEDY !
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT ?
HOW COULD YOU EVEN THINK IT ?
A MAN LIKE YOU !
DID YOU NOT HAVE YOUR OWN FAMILY ONCE ?
THAT WAS MANY LIFETIMES AGO, MISS SWAFFER.
SO--
YOU HAVE WIPED YOUR OWN SHADOWS FROM THE SCREEN.
DID YOUR OWN LOVE BLIND YOU TO HERS ?
YOU CARRY MORE FOR ALL OF US...
THAN ANY ONE MAN SHOULD.
BUT YOU WILL TAKE CARE FOR THEM, WON'T YOU ?
THANK YOU, MISS SWAFFER...
FOR OUR CONVERSATION.
AMY ?
HELLO.
AMY,
I HAVE WRONGED YOU--
GRIEVOUSLY.
AND I HAVE NO EXCUSE.
WILL YOU FORGIVE ME ?
WHO WILL FORGIVE ME ?
I DO.
I DO--
AS DID HE.
I WILL LOVE HIM UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD.
MAMA, LOOK AT ME ! COME OUT HERE !
MAMA ! [ Laughs ]
[ Kennedy ] LOOKING AT HER NOW,
I KNOW WHY YANKO WAS CAST OUT BY THE SEA...
TO PERISH ON THIS HOSTILE SHORE.
HE CAME ACROSS THE WORLD TO LOVE--
AND BE LOVED-- BY AMY FOSTER.
