00:00The End
00:30Oh, my God.
01:00Duncan MacLeod of Dunbegan, you have been found guilty of most unlawful rebellion and bearing arms against the rule and person of his most excellent majesty, King George II, and of encouraging the clan that bears your name to wage war against his lawful armies. Your sentence of hagging must therefore be carried out without more delay. God save King George!
01:30Yeah.
01:32Yeah.
01:34Yeah.
01:36Yeah.
01:38Yeah.
01:40Let's go.
02:10Catriona!
02:35Give me your hand, young gentleman.
02:37Let's buy out your fortune.
02:39No, thank you, old mother.
02:40I can see far enough already.
02:41You might end up like that one hanging there.
02:43Any one of us might.
02:44There's a body lass with bright eyes.
02:48There in my hand.
02:49Aye, sure enough.
02:51Oh, and there's a wee man in a good coat.
02:56I know such a one.
02:57And there's a tall man in a powdered wick.
03:01And the shadow of that gallows lies across the path of y'all.
03:05I'll be off with you.
03:07Take care, my fine jewel.
03:09Take care.
03:11Where?
03:16I know you, do I not?
03:18We've never met.
03:20You served under me, perhaps?
03:23There's not a tailor in Scotland that could fit me with a red coat.
03:28I have it all set up and agreed upon by your uncle too.
03:45And what a great deal of huffing and delaying that was.
03:48Getting your uncle to sign his name to a legally binding document.
03:52I can imagine.
03:53Well, however, here it is.
03:55The fact that your late lamented father, Alexander,
03:59was indeed the elder of the brothers balfour of the house of yours.
04:02And notwithstanding the agreement he entered into with his brother, Ebenezer,
04:07renouncing his inheritance for a so-called clear run with the lady who became your mother,
04:13you are now the legal owner.
04:15But you will be paid two-thirds only until your uncle's death.
04:20That sounds very satisfactory.
04:22Satisfactory indeed, considering that but two days ago you were not but a pauper.
04:26Aye, and a few weeks ago I was a wretched part of a ship's cargo destined for slavery in North Carolina,
04:31thanks to that same uncle.
04:32Yes, well, let's not dwell too much on past history as everything has turned out for the best.
04:37Not everything.
04:38Perhaps you could continue it for the moment while I spell out the steps
04:42I've taken the liberty of making your future appear.
04:45But first, I have arranged for ample funds to be at your disposal at the linen bank here in Edinburgh.
04:51Now, as you know, it was your father's wish that you study the law.
04:56And mine too. We'd often talk of it with our minister, Mr. Campbell.
04:59Well, now, I've made use of that same Mr. Campbell's judgment and knowledge in the selection of your ways of learning.
05:06Where have you chosen?
05:07The University of Leiden and the Low Countries.
05:09For years its professors have been famous all over Europe.
05:12Um, I'm to go soon.
05:14Next month, if you wish.
05:15That may not be possible.
05:17I have urgent business here.
05:20But your affairs have been successfully concluded.
05:24There's another matter.
05:25You haven't been dazzled by a pair of sparkling eyes here in Edinburgh?
05:30No, of course not. I mean something else.
05:33What?
05:34Mr. Rankeeler, if I tell you my story, I must commit a friend's life and safety to your discretion.
05:40Will you give your word never to divulge what I will say?
05:43We lawyers have a professional code, sir.
05:45I understand that well enough.
05:47But the matter I and my friend are involved in is no less than murder.
05:54Murder?
05:56Murder?
06:15It's madness.
06:16I didn't bring you through the heather to let you deliver yourself up to the enemy.
06:21King George is not my enemy. Neither are the Campbells.
06:24Put yourself in front of a Campbell judge and jury and you'll soon see whose side they're on.
06:28It's not the Campbells, I'll be telling. It's the King's own Advocate General.
06:32Preston Grange is a devious old fox.
06:35I mean to see him.
06:37And tell him that you were standing right next to Campbell of Glenour when he was shot down.
06:40But how else do you propose to save your uncle?
06:43James is past saving.
06:45You think he'll hang?
06:51Senseless.
06:52If you had been at Culloden.
06:53You lost the battle.
06:54We didn't lose our cause.
06:56Must your clansmen know only one king.
06:59Who happens to be in France.
07:01David!
07:06Have you found a ship?
07:08If you must make this foolish confession, I cannot stop you.
07:16There is something you can do for me, a man, you must see.
07:19I'll do that gladly.
07:20A word of advice.
07:21Don't go around this city in those pauper's clothes.
07:25With your newfound wealth, invest in a new coat and a pair of velvet breeches.
07:30Is there an escort?
07:31Quick!
07:32Part!
07:33Left!
07:34Left!
07:35Left!
07:36Left!
07:37Left!
07:38Left!
07:39Sir!
07:40Sir!
07:41Your daughter, sir!
07:42Where is she?
07:43You know her?
07:44Yes, sir.
07:45Where is she?
07:46She took hold.
07:47She is the way home.
07:48You, sir!
07:49Star wife of a prisoner.
07:50Where are you taking him?
07:51The Lord Advocate questioning.
07:52She died this time as every day.
07:53Where else?
07:54You know her?
07:55Yes, sir.
07:56Where is she?
07:57She took hold.
07:58She is the way home.
07:59You, sir, star wife of a prisoner.
08:00Where are you taking him?
08:01The Lord Advocate questioning.
08:02Did I the Simon's everyday?
08:03Where else?
08:14Sir!
08:15Hello, the gentlemen.
08:18Mr. Charles Stewart, the lawyer.
08:20The same.
08:21And if the question is equally fair, who may you be yourself?
08:26I am David Balfour of Shaw's.
08:29The matter is confidential.
08:33Who sent you?
08:34Someone you know well. He gave me his token.
08:41A Stewart sent you.
08:43A friend.
08:44Put it back in your pocket, sir. You need name no knifes.
08:49Dibble's bucky.
08:52Where is he now?
08:53In a safe place north of Edinburgh.
08:54He will lie there until a ship is found for him.
08:57By you, sir, as I understand it.
09:00I've always thought I would hang one day for this family of mine.
09:03Now I know the day's not far off.
09:06Find him a ship. And who's to pay for it?
09:09That's my part of the affair, Mr. Stewart.
09:11And if more is wanted, more is to be had.
09:15I need not ask your politics.
09:17You need not.
09:18For I'm as big a wig as grows.
09:20A wig?
09:21Then why are you here with Alan, Spartan?
09:24What kind of Blackfoot traffic is this, Mr. Wig?
09:27He has a forfeited rabble, an accused murderer with 200 pounds in his head.
09:31And a wig asks me to meddle in the business.
09:34I told you, the man is my friend.
09:36And I only wish he'd been better guided.
09:38As for the murderer, he's been wrongfully accused.
09:40You say so?
09:41He is innocent, and so is James of the Glens.
09:43The two will hang together.
09:45No, sir.
09:46Because I was there in the valley in converse with Colin Campbell
09:48when the shot was fired.
09:50So, you are the young lowlander they're seeking.
09:53I am.
09:54And I am innocent too.
09:56Will you then undertake my business?
10:00I don't like it.
10:02But coming as you did with our friends,
10:04but I have no choice.
10:07What are your instructions?
10:09Simply to use that money to convey my friend to France.
10:13I see what can be arranged.
10:15I can promise you nothing.
10:16And now, sir, I think you'd best be on your way.
10:20And with caution.
10:22The Lord Advocate has a great many spies abroad in the city.
10:25It matters little.
10:26I intend to call on Lord Advocate tomorrow.
10:29Call on Lord Preston Grange.
10:32You mad?
10:33What for?
10:35To give myself up.
10:37Mr. Balfour, I like the look of your behavior less and less.
10:41You bring in a stuart button,
10:43you engage my services to carry a rebel across to France,
10:46and then you talk of going straight to the Advocate?
10:49I propose to give my evidence, for Alan's sake.
10:52You muckle ass, you'll never be allowed to speak in a court.
10:57Go near the Judge Advocate, and he'll find some way to muzzle you.
11:00I'm told he's an honest man.
11:03It's not him you're up against.
11:04It's the Camels, man.
11:06You'll have the whole clenchample of them on your back,
11:09and so will the Advocate himself.
11:11If there's no fair way to stop your gab,
11:14they'll find a foul way.
11:16They'll put you in the dock beside James of the Glens.
11:18You'll hang, too, and that's your future, Tobe.
11:22My father brought me up to believe in justice.
11:28Well, of course, I respect you for that.
11:31I do believe in the law, for that's my practice.
11:36But I'm Highland-born,
11:38and when the Glens blow their pipes,
11:41I have to dance to the tunes.
11:47My life, too, would be in danger
11:48if this business between us ever came to the ears of Preston Grange.
11:52It will not. You have my word on it.
11:55Now, if you're to help, it is best you meet my friend direct.
11:58He cannot come to you.
12:05Very well.
12:08Where will I find him?
12:21Your dinner, James Stewart.
12:22I thank you.
12:24Any what's from my lawyer?
12:26No, no word.
12:28My family.
12:29They fear no better than or worse than the rest of Appen,
12:31which is bad enough, I fear.
12:34Aye.
12:35Bad tides.
12:38Any news of another?
12:41Your Nolan Brick,
12:42we say the Redcoots are scouring the heather for the sight of him.
12:45Aye.
12:47Aye, they'll scour for a lifetime.
12:49I'm a miller team of trade, and that's as well you can know.
13:01Aye, I'm a miller team of trade, and that's as well you can know.
13:07Aye, I'm a miller team of trade.
13:11Aye, I'm a miller team of money, and that's as well you can know.
13:14Aye, I'm a miller team of trade, and that's as well you can know.
13:16Aye, I'm a miller team of trade, and that's as well you can know.
13:18Aye, I'm a miller team of trade, and that's as well you can know.
13:19Good evening, Mr. Stewart.
13:23You chose your mercenager well, but Mr. Balfour is going to do ill for himself
13:28if he persists in sea in Preston Grange.
13:31You will not be persuaded otherwise.
13:33What news do you have of ships?
13:34Oh, difficult.
13:36None too many captains willing to take the risk.
13:39Who will you choose then?
13:40Well, there's Tom Stobo, and yet I'm not too sure of Tom these days.
13:45Aye, well, my head's worth 200 pounds.
13:48Well, give Tom they go by.
13:50Well, maybe we need to use Andy Schugel in the vessel.
13:54But can you find him?
13:55I'll put my clerk to the task.
13:57Ah, Robin has smuggled out more French recruits and trafficked babies
14:02than he has hairs in his chin.
14:03I'll see to it then.
14:05I've had enough of living rough on the hills.
14:33I wish to see the Lord Advocate on a matter of some importance.
14:48He's away in the town.
14:50Then may I come in and wait for him?
14:52Well, I suppose you can.
14:53I suppose you can.
15:05Now, in what way can I help you?
15:06I should begin by saying, my Lord, that I'm here at your express invitation.
15:11How is that?
15:12I'd never heard of you until this evening.
15:14Right, but you've been anxious to make my acquaintance and have published the fact.
15:18You speak in riddles, young man.
15:21If I were jesting, which is far from the case,
15:23I would lay claim on your Lordship for 200 pounds.
15:26In what sense?
15:27The reward offered for my person.
15:29Explain yourself.
15:30The description was a tall, strong lad of about 18 in black clothes who speaks like a lowlander.
15:36I recognize those words, Mr. Balfour.
15:39I hope you're not merely amusing yourself.
15:45No, sir.
15:46I'm extremely serious.
15:47I'm indeed the man who was speaking with Colin Campbell of Glenour when he was shot in the valley of Appen.
15:51I suppose since you are here, you claim to be innocent of that crime.
15:54Yes, sir.
15:55I'm a loyal subject of King George.
15:57I'm glad you say so.
15:58The way that murder was planned and committed doesn't permit any possible clemency.
16:03Blood was shed in direct opposition to his majesty.
16:06The murderers must hang the Duke of Argyle and indeed the whole Campbell clan demand no less.
16:12But the Duke is Chief Justice.
16:13That is unfortunately true, and he is also led of the Campbells.
16:16Then anyone opposed to the Campbell faction like James Stewart of the Glens can hardly expect justice at his hands.
16:21I will not say that again, Mr. Balfour.
16:23I withdraw it, sir.
16:24Good.
16:28Now, what am I to do with you?
16:32And make no mistake, your fate lies with me alone.
16:34No one else.
16:37So let us conclude this interview as quickly as we can.
16:44If you satisfy me of your innocence, no one need know you are here.
16:47Sir, I came with full knowledge of the possible consequences, and I am not afraid.
16:52I am not seeking to frighten you.
16:55Let me warn you first.
16:57Volunteer nothing beyond the scope of my questions.
16:59I shall try to follow that advice.
17:01You state that you were present in the wood of Lattimore at the moment of the fatal shot.
17:08Was this by accident?
17:09Yes, by accident.
17:13Why were you speaking to Colin Campbell?
17:15I was inquiring my way to O'Harn.
17:18O'Harn?
17:19The house of James Stewart?
17:21I was to meet Alan Breck there.
17:23How came you to know him?
17:25Oh, it's a long history.
17:27I had been taken aboard ship by the contrivance of my uncle to be sold as a slave in Carolina.
17:31Alan was picked up by the same ship and affected my rescue.
17:34Later, when the ship was wrecked, we were separated.
17:37But he sent me a message saying where we were to meet.
17:39Remember my advice, Mr. Balfour.
17:44I would dwell as little as possible on your relations with those stewards.
17:46I thought all facts were equally material.
17:48You forget.
17:49These same stewards are now on trial.
17:52But to resume, Mr. Mungo Campbell stated that after the shot, you immediately ran up the brain.
17:57Is that true?
17:58It is true.
17:59I had seen the murderer.
18:01As plain as I see your lordship.
18:03Only not so close.
18:04You'd know him again.
18:05I think so.
18:06Was he alone?
18:07He was.
18:07There was no one else in the neighborhood.
18:09Only Alan Breck Stewart.
18:11Alan.
18:12He was waiting in a wood nearby.
18:15I think we're playing at cross purposes.
18:17I assure you, this will do you no good.
18:19Sir, I am here for one reason.
18:21To convince you of Alan Breck's innocence.
18:23Then you're wasting both your and my time.
18:24I tell you positively, you're doing great harm to yourself.
18:27I don't care.
18:28I'm interested only in seeing justice done.
18:35I see I must deal with you more confidentially.
18:37This is a political case.
18:40I need hardly tell you that we approach such a case quite differently from a simple crime.
18:44You say Alan Breck is innocent.
18:47If we once admit that, it will destroy our presumption of guilt against his uncle, James Stewart of the Glens.
18:51A man grown old in treason.
18:54Already twice in arms against King George and twice forgiven.
18:57A formentor of discontent.
18:59And whoever may have fired that shot.
19:02The true author of this wicked murder.
19:04I can only say plainly that I know both he and Alan are innocent.
19:08And I'm prepared to repeat it in open court.
19:10You're not, Mr. Balfour.
19:12I desire you to withhold your testimony.
19:14To suppress evidence.
19:16You, the head of justice in this country, are suggesting I commit the crime of perjury.
19:20I am nursing the true interests of this country.
19:24In this matter, I regard my political duty first and my judicial duty second.
19:29For that reason, I do not want your evidence.
19:32Suppose I offer it to the defence?
19:34You'll do no such thing!
19:35You're not so young, Mr. Balfour.
19:52But you can't remember the 45 Rebellion.
19:57The shock it caused to this whole country.
19:59Who saved the unity of Scotland?
20:01Not Cumberland and his Red Court soldiers alone.
20:04It was the Duke of Argyle and the great clan of Campbell that you can hire Highlanders.
20:08But we are civilised.
20:11The great mass of the clans are simply barbarians.
20:15Now be you, the judge.
20:18The Campbells expect vengeance.
20:20If this man, James Stewart, escapes, there'll be trouble with the Campbells.
20:24More fighting in the Highlands.
20:26Are you prepared to plunge your country and thousands of innocent men and women into war?
20:30All for one miserable life.
20:33James Stewart!
20:34Whose life is forfeit on half a dozen other different counts, if not on this.
20:40This is the consideration that weighs with me.
20:42And I hope weighs no less with you, as a lover of your country, good government and religious truth.
20:49You have dealt with me very frankly and I thank you for it.
20:51I will try to be as honest.
20:52I recognise the deep duties which lie upon your lordship, bound under the oaths of your high office.
20:58I am just a plain man, scarcely even a man.
21:02I can think of but two things.
21:04A man in danger of a shameful death and the tears of his wife still ringing in my head.
21:08I cannot see beyond, my lord.
21:10If the country has to fall, it has to fall.
21:12But I must speak out.
21:13You are making an unnecessary difficulty.
21:18I have no choice.
21:19I could dispatch you to jail now.
21:21I have slept in worse places, my lord.
21:22One thing appears very plain, sir.
21:26I may rely on your pledged word.
21:28So give me your honour that you will remain wholly secret on all these matters and you may go free.
21:32I will give you my word until such time as you wish to see me again.
21:35That will be tomorrow morning at the hour of 11.
21:37Good night to you, sir.
21:42May you sleep well.
21:47For I think that is more than I shall.
22:22I am not condemned yet.
22:24You will, me.
22:26Make no mistake.
22:28I was home in Ocharne when the Red Fox was murdered.
22:31I have witnesses to prove it.
22:33My own servants.
22:34We have them all in custody.
22:36You have my witnesses?
22:37We have no shortage of chains and bars here at Inverare.
22:41And the cells are commodious enough to accommodate any perjuring steward.
22:44They are truthful men, every one of them.
22:46We see.
22:48However,
22:48if you have a mind to save them.
22:51Save them?
22:53It's my trial.
22:54It's not theirs.
22:54You could confess to plotting Glen Neuer's murder.
22:58Then all your men will go free.
22:59How can I confess to something that I didn't do?
23:02How many times have you wished for Colin Campbell's death?
23:04That's true.
23:06But it's not the same thing.
23:08I didn't fire the shot.
23:09The wish and the deed are close enough.
23:12As you will learn, James Stewart.
23:14Reflect a while on this.
23:24A free confession and all your men are released.
23:27Then,
23:28a plea for a clemency in the right ear.
23:31And you might end your days peacefully in the colonies.
23:36No, no, Argyll.
23:37I'll prove my own innocence in the open.
23:40All I want from you is just a fair trial.
23:43No more.
23:44No less.
23:45Oh, it will be fair.
23:47My reputation as Lord Chief Justice will stand on it.
23:50Aye.
23:52And your reputation as a Campbell will lie just the same.
23:57This interview is over.
24:14The 94.
24:15The 94.
24:19The 94.
24:19The 94.
24:28The 95.
