(Dialogue) Oh, Peter!
1:10:05
(Christie) The powerful elemental
images carry the melodrama.

1:10:08
Peter has to die
to mark the island's death.

1:10:12
And what we see is remarkably close
1:10:15
to how Powell originally conceived
the scene in his script.

1:10:18
(Day-Lewis) With his stave and
old rope, he goes on up the cliffs

1:10:22
and the only eye to see him go
is his dog's,

1:10:24
who follows far behind.
1:10:26
Up past his old croft he strides,
1:10:29
up past the last gate,
1:10:31
up onto the moor
and the great cliffs.

1:10:34
With his stave and his rope,
1:10:36
he goes over.
1:10:38
His rope is frayed.
1:10:40
He does not seem to see it.
1:10:42
Down and down he goes,
while his dog peers after him

1:10:46
and whines anxiously.
1:10:48
He finds the rare egg,
1:10:50
but he never brings it back
to the upper air.

1:10:54
James, hunting in the mist,
calls his friend's name,

1:10:58
the dog barks and barks.
1:11:00
A dull rumble from the cliffs
and a broken end of rope

1:11:05
are the last of Peter Manson.
1:11:18
- Peter!
- (Echoes) Peter!

1:11:21
- Peter Manson!
- (Echoes) Peter Manson!

1:11:30
Sing in hope,
let's find the breeze

1:11:34
Ho-ro, chasing the breeze
1:11:38
Ho-ro, chasing the breeze
