whisper I'm fortunate that I represent
Tilson's Bank which has a special
standing in French commercial affairs

position gives me a greater freedom of
conduct in Paris and most other many
business it makes it possible for me to

chopped off and he'll be kind to focus

the madhouse yeah that's the dog we want
but we don't pay because we've got a
paper listen to some Tilson's attending
one mr. Jarvis lorry
Oh Stan all persons having anything to
do before my laws the Kings justices
draw near and give attendance
mr. Attorney General you may proceed
members of the jury I have to inform you
that the prisoner before you though yarn
in years is old in the treasonable
practices which now must claim the
forfeit of his life his treachery
towards our Sovereign Lord the king by
reason of his passing secret information
to assist the King of France is not a
matter of a correspondence of today or
of yesterday or even of last year what
of the year before it is certain that
the prisoner has for much longer than
that been in the habit of passing and
repassing between England and France and
making those journeys on secret business
of which is unable and indeed refuses to
give an honest account witnesses and
documents will show that the prisoner
Charles Darnay has been furnished with
lists of His Majesty's forces and of
their D position both by sea and land
and that he has habitually conveyed such
information to a foreign power that
these documents cannot be proved to have
been in the prisoners own handwriting
assists the prosecution's case that he
has been artful in his precautions
members of the jury I know
you are a loyal and responsible jury who
will do your duty to your king and
country and not shrink from the dread
but just consequences of the only true
verdict consistent with these
treacherous misdeeds he is guilty make
an interview your first witness mr.
Attorney General
[Music]
okay
[Music]
at the court this former servant will
swear that he found the military papers
by accident while arranging Donna's
clothes at his rules and again while
traveling to France he saw it as the
duty of a patriot to lay information
it sees my duty as a patriot that I have
given you this information Thank You mr.
Klein mr. Stryver for the prisoner do
you wish to cross-examine the witness I
think so mr. cly humble and virtuous sir

accident you put them there yourself

the prisoner came on board he noticed
that my father was in a very weak state
of health is there gentlemen your father

him out of the air and had tried to make
a bed for him on the deck but did not
know how best to do it well how to
shelter him from the bad weather and mr.
Darnay the prisoner did it for me with
great gentleness I was very grateful to
him is that all mr. attorney-general no
ma no did he come on board alone no sir
well two French gentlemen were with him
conferring with him yes sir
until it was time for the package to set
sail then the French gentleman returned
to shore yes sir with papers handed to
them by the prisoner

same shape and size possibly Oh like
these I will not repay mr. Donny by
doing him harm here today you will give

against my will I thought I was sending
you to your death it's in the past now

server face you don't know what it may
come to I'll give it to you in plain
words I hate you because of the way
those pretty eyes look at you you'll
never look at me
you miss Lucie Manette yeah
if Darnay weren't so secretive about his
business across the channel we wouldn't
have needed our clever trick today was
tap clever of you though you knew jack
all I rented the wiser about him now did
he open his heart to his new brother he
says he has a duty regarding his
mother's dying wishes the people who
tried to obstruct him something bad in
the family past not to be mentioned
something shameful to him that's why he
calls himself Darnay not his real name
he won't say French born cause yes
Charles Darnay must have it done tonight
two sets of papers what's ruffled your
temper put a bottle on it and smooth it
again

[Music]
oh my love you're never just arrived
from England how do you leave that what
are you doing mean then what many of our
nobility will have to do someday I
worked I teach our language our
literature I translate really it's also
considerable labor why not accept your
natural destiny because I renounce this
property and France this property is not
yet young to me now forgive me of course
it is not but if I inherited it from you
tomorrow which I have the vanity to hope
is not probable for 20 years from now
you know my trauma I would abandon it
let it go to ruin what else is it now a
wilderness of ruin misery and oppression
is it nephew what do you say shall be
done with it if it ever becomes mine I
would hope to put it in some other hands
better qualified to freed of the weight
of wrongs that drags it down if it can
never be freed but it is not for me
is this the new philosophy
I must assume that I will die their
plate ratings a system by which I am
read I will preserve the owner of the
family name if you own a lot
I believe our name is the most detested
in France let us hope so
it shows the homage of the peasantry
there is not a face in all this country
round us which looks back at me with
anything but fear and slavery there
compliment
he chose out a family has sustained each
rancher
we shall eat
you must be tired from your journey you
are most persistent Jones I wonder that
you pursue your object when it puts you
in such peril it is sacred to me such a
penny for all I know you may even have
work to make the circumstances
surrounding me look more suspicious what
influence of iron England I know you
would use any means to prevent me
reaching my object here yes I told you
so long ago for beyond I was a family
our honourable family has done in world
of wrong we have injured every human
creature who came between us and our
pleasure whatever it was my father had
his full part in battle now it is for me
to obey the last look in my mother's
eyes when she implored me to have mercy
and redress those wrongs that is what I
understand by the family honor and I'll
tortured by my failure to redeem it if
you came to me for help he would forever
seeking them this shirt the new
philosophy with it yes things are
changed that was used to hold the ride
of life and death death from lethal men
have been taken out and act we push
is the only lasting philosophy I think
no no not in front of dogs
[Music]
I know that between you and Lucy because
of what happened to you there is an
affection that you father's can have
known I know that when she is clinging
to you their hands of the baby a girl
the woman all in one around your neck I
know that in loving you she sees and he
loves her mother at her own age does her
mother brokenhearted loves you through
your dreadful trial and in your
restoration I have seen this the two of
you with this hallowed light about you

between you but I must because I love is
my witness that I loved and longed for
her as my wife I believe it I know it I
have had the happiness of being made
welcome here Dr Manette

able longer I think and is in the nature
of an Allen I love you total Tilly
devotedly I know you have loved let your
own love
I don't want to talk about that I
haven't want to recall that I asked I
have no doubt you love my daughter but
have you told her sir No out of
consideration for me I thank you
please believe this also if I thought
that by marrying Lucy I would force a
separation between you and her
I would never breathe a word of my love
for her if I thought that would follow
even years from now I wouldn't be able
to touch her hand our lives are already
so close like you I am a voluntary exile
from France like you I'm striving to
live away from my country by my own
exertions and trusting in a happier
future Lucy my wife would always be your
child your companion your friend thank
you
Charles Downey if I were to harbor any
fences or apprehensions you are hold
against you they would all be
obliterated for Lucy's sake she's

our happiness I will be your confidence

see her mistress hundreds indeed for
gracious sake say something else besides
indeed or no fidget me to death really
them better bad enough
who are these Henry's mistress mr.
carton mr. Danny I have lived with the
darling or the darling has lived with me
and paid me for it but she should never
have done if I could have afforded to
keep either of us since she was ten
years old
it's really very hard all sorts of
people were not in the least worthy of
Lady Bird her forever turning up crowds
multitudes of people wanting to take her
affections away from me hmm do me you
started it Hey didn't you
who brought her father to life oh that
was beginning it it wasn't ending it was
it not that I have any fault to find
with doctor Manette
except he is not worthy to have such a
daughter which is no imputation on him
for how could anybody be it's really
very hard there I've said it
how do you do by the way and pretty well
thank you
[Music]
I was the only one to see him when he
came hiding under the carriage
I was working over the hilltop I could
have shot it to warn amake but I
wouldn't you did well after he killed
the Maquis it took them nearly a whole
year to find you it was well done now
they say he'll hang there till he rots
they do that it's nothing to them they
kept him in an iron cage
that's nothing is she safe Jack is our
new friend he's proved himself he'll say
nothing unless he wants to hang from the
gallows just as high as Gasper I brought
Jack to Paris to see the fine world on
Sunday Jesse the king and queen in the
curl I promised my friend he didn't and
you'll register is it a good sign that
he wants to see the nobility unsure if
you want a dog to kill rats you show him
one don't you
father can you tell me this last time
that you feel quite certain that my
master Charles will not interpose
between us I know it but do you in your
heart do you feel quite certain yes
quite sure more than that my future is
far brighter now don't you see that
don't you know how anxious I have been
that your life should not be wasted yes
wasted
for my sick you have been so unselfish
how could I be happy if your happiness
was incomplete if I had never seen
Charles I would have been quite happy
with you Father but you did see him and
if he hadn't been Charles it would have
been another and if there were no other
I would have been the cause of that how
could I be happy then
the Englishman the one the new spy from
the police told us about easier
good day my friends I hope it all goes
well with you I would like a glass of
very old cognac fresh cool water bad
business about poor Gaspard the
neighborhood much angered by the
execution would you not say Jacques
that is not my name as old as we have as
fresh isn't everyone here called Jacques
all friends together
I hear Jacques on all sides el mr. foul
is my name you seem to know the quarter
better than I do of course I have the
honor of cherishing some interesting
associations with your name we haven't
met before
not exactly but we do have mutual
friends the doctor manette and his
daughter you looked after them here I've
known them in London the good doctor and
the pretty miss Manette did you know
she's getting married not to an
Englishman but he'll be astonished when
I tell you the the strangest coincidence
the man Gaspard killed there's a nephew
he's marrying Lucie Manette of course he
doesn't call himself every Monde in
England but he is the present Marquis
what does he call himself Charles Darnay
quite like his mother's name
for Gaspard poor jack if it comes in our
lifetime and we see a triumph I hope for
her sake destiny will keep her husband
at a foster her husband's destiny will
take him where he is to go it will lead
him to his end that is all I know
[Music]

return my love don't be afraid to hear
me I know what I have to drunken wasted

were there of yourself mr. carton
[Music]
too late for that you can never change
will you hear what I have to say it will
help you if you had returned man I would
have been conscious every hour of every
day
in spite of my own happiness that I
could only bring you misery blight your
life thankful that cannot be
but I want you to know that you've been
the last dream of myself since knowing
you I've had ideas of a new beginning a
dream or a dream that ends in nothing
and leave me where I was but I want you
to know you inspired it if I made you
more unhappy don't think that I would
reproach myself or that you would have
reclaimed me of anyone could you still
have a life my life is what might have
been but for what is left of it let me
carry the memory that I opened my heart
to you
to you alone in all the world

shared with melon yes I promise I'll
never speak of this again

of course we will cousin gladly thank
you
much obliged
I have looked at that moon from my
prison window when I couldn't bear her
alive when it has been so shipped over

reason she was unable to stay her name
or say where her family lived that is
correct you decided to report these
events at least privately in a letter to
the minister which you delivered by your
own hand I did then what happened
citizen a man came to my house at night
and said I was wanted urgently at the
sickbed he had a carriage waiting
outside my gate a scarf was rung tightly
across my mouth and my arms were
pinioned the two brothers ever moved
across the road from a dark corner and
stared into my face without a word the
Marquis took from his pocket the letter
I had written to the minister held it up
to me parented in the flames of a
lantern and put out the ashes with his
foot then the carriage took me to the
best a year citizen read what is written

I have no real hope if any of these men
or all of them were prepared to spare
his life I doubt if they were there for
fear of their own lives but it's right
that he should try I encouraged him
because I feel that one day will console
Lucy she must be led to think that his
life was wanton Lee thrown away yes yes
