Whom shall I love when
the moon is arisen?

00:47:31,129 --> 00:47:33,664
Gone is my lord...
682
00:47:33,665 --> 00:47:36,500
and the grave is his prison.

What shall I say when
my lord comes a-calling?
684
00:47:40,673 --> 00:47:44,877
What shall I say when
he knocks on my door?
685
00:47:44,878 --> 00:47:49,615
What shall I say when
his feet enter softly...

00:47:49,616 --> 00:47:53,787
leaving the marks of
his grave on my floor?
687

Enter, my lord.

Come from your prison.

[WHISPERS] Look at that.

00:48:18,483 --> 00:48:20,985
- What, miss?
- I was afraid for them.
694
00:48:20,986 --> 00:48:23,988
But what if he knows?
What if Miles knows?
695
00:48:23,989 --> 00:48:26,992
Knows what, Miss Giddens, dear?
696
00:48:26,993 --> 00:48:28,994
You think I'm imagining it...
697
00:48:28,995 --> 00:48:31,998
and yet just now you yourself
saw and heard Miles...
698
00:48:31,999 --> 00:48:34,500
Playing a game.
699
00:48:34,501 --> 00:48:37,504
You told me Quint and Miles
were always together.
700
00:48:37,505 --> 00:48:39,506
But Master Miles wasn't
to blame for that.
701
00:48:39,507 --> 00:48:42,509
- Yes, but couldn't you have stopped it?
- I wasn't in charge, miss.
702
00:48:42,510 --> 00:48:45,447
It wasn't for me to question
the master's arrangements.
703
00:48:45,448 --> 00:48:47,449
The master put Quint in charge here.
704
00:48:47,450 --> 00:48:51,209
Besides, no one could
go against Quint.
705
00:48:51,955 --> 00:48:54,223
You were afraid of him?
706
00:48:57,528 --> 00:48:59,529
But what of Miss Jessel?
707
00:48:59,530 --> 00:49:01,531
Couldn't she have done something?
708
00:49:01,532 --> 00:49:04,034
Or was she afraid of him too?
709
00:49:04,035 --> 00:49:06,037
Not at first. At least...
710
00:49:06,038 --> 00:49:10,642
In the beginning, when she first came
here, she was always happy and smiling.
711
00:49:10,643 --> 00:49:12,645
Very fond of music she was...
712
00:49:12,646 --> 00:49:14,580
and dancing.
713
00:49:14,581 --> 00:49:18,518
She and Miss Flora used to dance
together, dance by the hour.
714
00:49:18,519 --> 00:49:20,520
But she changed.
715
00:49:20,521 --> 00:49:22,522
Oh, yes, she changed.

It's long past their bedtime.

00:49:35,539 --> 00:49:39,042
Yes, but what did you mean
about Quint and Miss Jessel?
722
00:49:39,043 --> 00:49:41,577
Look, miss, they're dead, gone.
723
00:49:41,578 --> 00:49:45,371
There's no point in telling tales
of what's over and done with.

00:49:50,155 --> 00:49:52,424

Silly. You know you can't.

00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,509

tell Miles to let me row.

I will, when you're a little older.

But it's too heavy for you now.

I like it when it's hot.

- Do you know what Miles told me once?
- No, dear. What?
740
00:51:02,938 --> 00:51:06,509
He said that once, when he was on the lake,
he could see a hand waving on the bottom.
741
00:51:06,510 --> 00:51:10,473
But Mrs. Grose said, "Stuff and
nonsense! Stuff and nonsense!"

No, dear.

Oh, goodness, miss, you gave me
quite a turn sitting there in the dark.

- And where are the children?
- Upstairs with Anna.

I wanted to be by myself
for a while, to think.

Well, miss, I'm sure a little light
will make your thoughts more cheerful.

- A woman dressed in black.

- Miss Jessel.
- Oh, but Miss Jessel's dead.

She died, why, almost a year ago.

Huh. Almost a year ago.

00:53:48,729 --> 00:53:51,599
Almost a year.

- Did she tell you so?
- No, of course not.

00:53:55,804 --> 00:53:58,373
She lied to me. Well,
it amounted to a lie.

00:53:58,374 --> 00:54:02,544
Oh, now, miss, I've never known
either of the children to tell lies.

- Why would they?
- Why?
776
00:54:04,715 --> 00:54:07,650
Because they are both playing...

or being made to play
some monstrous game.

what its purpose is.

it is these horrors want.

Think, Mrs. Grose.
The answer must lie in the past.
793
00:55:05,618 --> 00:55:10,321
Were Quint and Miss Jessel in love?
794
00:55:14,127 --> 00:55:16,429
They were in love, weren't they?
795
00:55:16,430 --> 00:55:19,633
Love? Oh, I suppose
that's what she called it.
796
00:55:19,634 --> 00:55:21,868
But it was more like a sickness...
797
00:55:21,869 --> 00:55:27,341
a fever that leaves the
body burned out and dry.
798
00:55:27,342 --> 00:55:30,044
There was no cruelty
she wouldn't suffer.

If he struck her... Oh, yes, and I've
seen him knock her to the floor...

00:55:33,683 --> 00:55:38,221
she'd look at him as though she
wanted the weight of his hand.
801
00:55:38,222 --> 00:55:41,157
No pride, no shame.
802
00:55:41,158 --> 00:55:43,660
Crawl to him on her hands
and knees, she would.
803
00:55:43,661 --> 00:55:48,232
And him laughing at her.
Such a savage laugh he had.
804
00:55:48,233 --> 00:55:52,437
Oh, it hurts me to remember.
805
00:55:52,438 --> 00:55:56,508
Bad she was, but no woman
could have suffered more.
806
00:55:56,509 --> 00:56:01,247
A person ought to
keep quiet about it.
807
00:56:01,248 --> 00:56:03,683
You must tell me.

00:56:03,684 --> 00:56:08,288

as though they were dark woods.
813
00:56:23,073 --> 00:56:26,172
They didn't care that you saw them?
814
00:56:27,779 --> 00:56:30,447
And the children?
815
00:56:30,448 --> 00:56:35,686
I can't say, miss. I... I don't
know what the children saw.
816
00:56:35,687 --> 00:56:38,357
But they used to follow
Quint and Miss Jessel...
817
00:56:38,358 --> 00:56:41,093
trailing along behind
hand in hand, whispering.
818
00:56:41,094 --> 00:56:43,762
There was too much whispering
in this house, miss.
819
00:56:43,763 --> 00:56:46,498
Oh, yes, I can imagine.
820
00:56:47,368 --> 00:56:50,036
Yes, I can imagine
what sort of things...
821
00:56:50,037 --> 00:56:52,072
they whispered about.
822
00:56:52,073 --> 00:56:56,744
Quint, Miles. I can
hear them together.
823
00:56:56,745 --> 00:57:00,081
But there was nothing wrong in
Master Miles wanting to be with Quint.
824
00:57:00,082 --> 00:57:02,717
Quint taught him to ride
and took him walking.
825
00:57:02,718 --> 00:57:06,022
- The poor lad needed someone to...
- To corrupt him?
826
00:57:06,023 --> 00:57:08,457
But Master Miles is a good boy, miss.
827
00:57:08,458 --> 00:57:11,028
- There's nothing wicked in him.
- Unless he's deceiving us.
828
00:57:11,029 --> 00:57:13,664
Unless they're both deceiving us.
829
00:57:13,665 --> 00:57:16,700
- The innocents.
- Innocents they are, miss.
830
00:57:16,701 --> 00:57:19,204
It's not fair. You have no
right to accuse them of...
831
00:57:19,205 --> 00:57:21,773
Oh, forgive me, Mrs. Grose.
I'm not accusing.
832
00:57:21,774 --> 00:57:26,979
I'm just trying to put it
together, to understand.
833
00:57:26,980 --> 00:57:29,982
Tell me, were the children happy?
834
00:57:29,983 --> 00:57:32,219
Oh, they seemed to be.
The same as now.
835
00:57:32,220 --> 00:57:36,156
But sometimes I used to wonder if they
really cared for them, those two...
836
00:57:36,157 --> 00:57:39,621
or if they weren't just using them.
837
00:57:40,429 --> 00:57:43,130
Using them?
838
00:57:43,131 --> 00:57:46,068
Yes, of course they were...
839
00:57:46,069 --> 00:57:48,394
and still are.
840
00:57:49,539 --> 00:57:52,075
And in the end, what happened
to her, Miss Jessel?
841
00:57:52,076 --> 00:57:54,978
Oh, that was pitiful.
842
00:57:54,979 --> 00:57:59,350
When Quint was found,
she went into blackest mourning.
843
00:57:59,351 --> 00:58:02,086
Her, that should have hated the man.
844
00:58:02,087 --> 00:58:05,590
She grieved till there was
something crazy in her eyes.
845
00:58:05,591 --> 00:58:08,059
Never slept. Never ate.
846
00:58:08,060 --> 00:58:11,956
I used to hear her wandering about
all over the house, sobbing.
847
00:58:12,966 --> 00:58:15,868
Couldn't go on.
848
00:58:15,869 --> 00:58:18,605
Finally she died.
849
00:58:18,606 --> 00:58:22,643
Here? At Bly?
But of what did she die?
850
00:58:22,644 --> 00:58:26,547
Well, I suppose you might
say a broken heart.
851

You and Flora will leave tomorrow.

Tomorrow I must be
alone here with Miles.
1188
01:25:48,301 --> 01:25:51,435
Miss, may I ask what I
am to tell their uncle?
1189
01:25:53,107 --> 01:25:55,341
The truth.
1190
01:25:55,342 --> 01:25:58,703

1191
01:25:59,848 --> 01:26:03,345
Yes, miss. Thank you.
1192

Mrs. Grose, have you got my letter?
1193
01:26:23,474 --> 01:26:26,678
- What letter, miss?
- To their uncle. I left it on the desk.

Oh, I haven't touched it, miss.
1195

1196
01:26:30,950 --> 01:26:33,986
Oh, of course... Miles.
1197
01:26:33,987 --> 01:26:36,789
- You're accusing him of stealing?
- Well, what matter.
1198

It's just one thing more for us
to talk about when we're alone.

- Where is Master Miles?
- He went out early this morning.
1200

But I shall wait for him.
1201
01:26:47,569 --> 01:26:50,838
He'll come to me.
1202
01:26:50,839 --> 01:26:55,975
Well, I... I suppose Miss Flora
and I had best be on our way.
1203
01:26:56,980 --> 01:26:59,215

when she's better.

wait till you see Miles again...

before you judge me.

- why were you in the garden?
- I told you.

The real reason, Miles.

did you first see and
hear of such things?

came into my head.
