00:00The End
00:29Yes, Milly. Decided the better. The fever's gone, and he'll be up and about in a few days' time.
00:35Then you can decide what you mean to do with him.
00:38Dr Losbon, do you really believe this poor boy can have been the pupil of robbers?
00:42Who can say, ma'am? Crime like death is not confined to the old and withered alone.
00:47But even if he has been wicked, how do we know what may have driven him to it?
00:50Want, perhaps, or ill usage, or blows?
00:53Hmm, quiet, quiet. Ah, he's waking.
00:59Now, my boy, how are you feeling now?
01:02My arm hurts me very much.
01:04Yes, and will for a few days more, I'm afraid.
01:08Housebreaking, my young friend, is usually attended by a certain amount of risk, you know.
01:14But I wasn't going to help them. Truly I wasn't, sir.
01:17They put me inside, but I wasn't going to let them in.
01:20I was just going to call for someone when that man appeared and...
01:23Yes, and put an effective stop to the whole thing by shooting you in the arm.
01:27How long have you been with such people, eh?
01:29Not very long, sir. I was taken to them when I had nowhere to go in London.
01:33I did run away once, but they caught me again and said I must help with this robbery.
01:37Have you no parents? No relatives?
01:39No, ma'am. Not anybody.
01:43What's your name, boy?
01:44Oliver, sir. Oliver Twist.
01:47Yes, well, I'll go to sleep again, Oliver.
01:49When you wake, Miss Rose here will bring you a nice hot bowl of soup.
01:52You can manage that, I feel sure.
01:54Thank you, sir.
01:55Doctor, what can I do to save the boy?
01:58I think, ma'am, if you give me full and unreserved permission to bully Giles and Brittles, I can manage it.
02:07Nobody but ourselves knows anything about him, fortunately.
02:11And it shouldn't be difficult to hush the matter up.
02:14I'll have a word with Giles and Brittles now.
02:17Come in.
02:18I beg your pardon, ma'am, but I thought you ought to know at once.
02:21The Bow Street Runners is here.
02:23Bow Street Runners?
02:24Why? Who sent for them?
02:25I did, miss. Last night, after we found the boy.
02:28I sent a message by the coachman.
02:30They know the boy's here, I suppose.
02:31That's right, sir. I told them at once.
02:33Did you confirm, George?
02:34Tell the gentlemen, Giles. We'll be down to Wrexley.
02:38This is untamable pretty kettle of fish.
02:55Oh, Bill! Bill! Bill, dear!
03:12Oh, damn, nice to keep off.
03:14God, you're not an hardly stand. You want to have me over?
03:18Bill! Bill, dear!
03:20Damn, I should give off!
03:22Grace, that can hardly stand. You want to have me over?
03:25I was only so glad to see you, Bill, oh, so glad.
03:28You aren't hurt, are you, Bill, dear?
03:30No, but I'm as weak as water.
03:33I'm not starving.
03:35Help me over to the bed if you must cling to me.
03:37Yes.
03:40Get me boots off.
03:42They seem trodding in me flesh.
03:45I'll double take it must have been so clumsy.
03:48Don't be angry with me, Bill, when you've just come back.
03:51I've been so anxious.
03:52Well, help me then.
03:54Help Linda.
03:56Yes, Bill, yes.
03:58Oh!
03:59Three days I've been getting back to London.
04:02Doubling back in me tracks.
04:05Hiding out in hedgerows, barns, anywhere.
04:08The old coupley side's alive with traps.
04:12I'm sure your business should never have been started.
04:15Yes.
04:16But you're here now, Bill.
04:18And as long as you've not been followed...
04:20I'll save him up on that account.
04:22Has Toby got back?
04:23Yes.
04:24But there's been nothing heard of the boy, Bill.
04:27Oh, never will be either.
04:28I'm thinking he was as good as dead when we left him.
04:32Well, get me a drink, for God's sake. Can't you say I need it?
04:35There's... there's nothing here, Bill.
04:38Nothing?
04:39You mean to tell me you've been drinking yourself stupid, you drab, while I've been out there?
04:43I never touched it, Bill, as God's my witness.
04:45Except that first night when I knew the crack had failed and I was so low...
04:48Yeah, well, go and get some then.
04:51Put me some food out before you go.
04:54Well, don't tell me you haven't got any food here neither.
04:57There's not a bag in the place, Bill, and there hasn't been these last two days.
05:00I... I had no money.
05:02In any ways not knowing where you were, I had no heart to eat.
05:05You're going to go on to fagin'?
05:06I didn't want to stir from here.
05:08If you'd come back and me not here, I...
05:11I did it from love of you, Bill.
05:14Don't scold me.
05:16What good does it do? You'll be here when I'm starving. Get to him!
05:20Burn me body. If you come back here empty-handed, I'll kill you.
05:24Don't I mean anything at all to you, Bill?
05:40Not anything.
05:54Oh, what are these fellows doing, Mrs. Mayley?
06:09Where are they now, Miss Rose?
06:10In the kitchen.
06:11They've been searching for footprints outside the house and measuring the window.
06:14They'll be coming in here very soon.
06:16Oh, my word, I hardly know what to do.
06:18Surely, Doctor, the poor boy's story faithfully, repeatedly, these men will be sufficient to exonerate him.
06:23I doubt it, Mrs. Mayley.
06:25What is he, after all they say, a runaway, judged by mere worldly considerations and probabilities?
06:31His story is a very doubtful one.
06:33But you believe it, Doctor.
06:34I believe it, strange as it is.
06:36But I may be an old fool for doing so.
06:39But I don't think it's exactly the tale for a practiced policeman, nevertheless.
06:42Why did he send for these people?
06:44Why, indeed, but they're here, and we've got to make the best of it.
06:47To my mind, Mrs. Mayley, our wisest course is to try to discredit Giles and Brittle's story.
06:53I know that Giles is a faithful fellow and a good servant,
06:56but you can make it up to him in a thousand ways
06:58and reward him for being such a good shot, besides.
07:02You don't object to that?
07:04No, Doctor, if it's the only way.
07:06Good, good.
07:07Inspector Douglas and Inspector Duck would like a word with you now.
07:10Certainly. Please come in, gentlemen.
07:14You two stay here.
07:17No, madam, regarding this here robbery, I can give you my opinion at once.
07:21I don't mind committing myself to that extent.
07:23It won't a put-up thing.
07:25Certainly not.
07:26What the devil's a put-up thing?
07:28A put-up job, ladies, is when the servants is in it.
07:31Nobody ever suspected them in this case.
07:33Very likely not, miss.
07:34But they might have been in it for all that.
07:36All the more likely on that wary account.
07:38Precisely, Duff. The whole point.
07:41Perhaps the officers would care for a drink, Mrs. Mealy.
07:45Why, to be sure you shall have it at once, if you will. Giles?
07:49That's very kind of you, miss.
07:51It's very dry work, this sort of duty.
07:53Anything that's handy, don't put yourselves out of the way on our accounts.
07:57What shall it be?
07:58A drop of the spirits, master, if it's all the same.
08:01It's a very cold ride from London, ma'am.
08:04And I always say that a drop of the spirits comes home warmer to the feelings.
08:09Now, ma'am.
08:11As to our conclusions in this affair, we find that it was a town hand.
08:16But the style of work is first rate.
08:18Very pretty it is, Bathers.
08:19Very pretty indeed.
08:20There was two of them in it, which can be seen by the footprints outside.
08:24And they had a boy with them as well, which is plain from the sides of the window.
08:29Now, sir.
08:30What about this here boy the servants is talking about?
08:33Nothing at all, sir.
08:34One of the servants merely chose to take it into his head.
08:37That is something to do with his attempt to break into the house.
08:39Whereas?
08:40Whereas, sir?
08:41Well, he's actually a lad who was inadvertently wounded by a spring gun in some boy's trespass on Mr...
08:50what you call him's grounds at the back there.
08:52You can swear to that, can you, sir?
08:54Certainly.
08:55I know a spring gun wound when I see one.
08:56Then why did he come here for treatment, sir, instead of going home to his own home?
09:01Because this was the nearest place.
09:04And I might add that he was immediately laid hold of and maltreated by this ingenious gentleman,
09:09who thereby placed his life in considerable danger.
09:11Oh, you did, did you?
09:12I hope you don't mean he's going to die, sir.
09:15Oh, I'd never be happy again if I thought that, sir.
09:18Why, sir, I couldn't cut a lad off, sir.
09:20Not even for brittles here.
09:22Not for all the plate in the country, sir.
09:24But you did lay violent hands on him, you know.
09:25But it was all for the best, sir.
09:27I'm sure I thought it was the boy, otherwise I wouldn't have meddled with him.
09:30I'm not of any human disposition now.
09:33What do you mean you thought it was the boy?
09:35Don't you think so now?
09:36Think what, sir?
09:37Think it was the same boy, stupid.
09:39Oh, I couldn't say, sir.
09:41After what the doctor said, I really couldn't say, sir.
09:44Has this man been a-drinking, sir?
09:46What a precious, muddled-headed chap you are.
09:48Oh, surely, officer, the matter's a simple one of identification.
09:51If this man were to see the boy again in your presence...
09:54Just what I was about to suggest, sir.
09:58By your leave, ladies.
10:00We'll go up.
10:01Certainly.
10:06I'll be up in a minute, Miss Rose.
10:08Just a little something I want to do down here first.
10:30You're sleeping, gentlemen.
10:31Please be very quiet.
10:32There's the grave, man.
10:33You here.
10:34Take a good look at the boy.
10:35Are you prepared to swear your solemnest oath that this was the boy as the thieves were pushing through the kitchen window?
10:51It was dark, sir.
10:52I didn't see him clearly.
10:53Then why did you say it was him?
10:55Because he was shot.
10:57And I know I shot a boy.
10:59Then when he turned up on the front doorstep, I...
11:01Is it the same boy, stupid, or isn't it?
11:04I couldn't swear to it, sir.
11:05I couldn't really.
11:06What do you think?
11:07Oh, I was beyond Mr. Giles, sir.
11:10I only saw him over his shoulder.
11:12In the dark.
11:13By a lantern, sir, but it don't show very much.
11:16Is it the same boy, or isn't it?
11:21I'm almost certain it ain't, sir.
11:23Well, I don't think it can be.
11:24I mean, if it's a boy as was wounded by a spring gun, then it can be, can it?
11:28Officer, will you take a look at this?
11:32It's the fellow to the pistol that Giles said he discharged the boy.
11:36This is what it was loaded with.
11:38Where's the bullet?
11:39There was none.
11:40Just the gunpowder and wadding.
11:43Did you load this?
11:44Yes, sir.
11:45And did you load the other one in the same way?
11:47Yes, sir.
11:48That settles it, Duff.
11:50That wouldn't have wounded anybody.
11:52Oh, what a precious, muggle-headed chap you are.
11:55If there were any more fellows around like you, there wouldn't be no justice left in England.
12:00We shan't be troubling you any further, ma'am.
12:02It says that I thought from the beginning this job was done by the family pet.
12:06And conky chickweed.
12:07And conky chickweed.
12:08And we know where we can lay our hands on them.
12:11Do you think you could find your way to the front door, stupid?
12:22Good day, ladies.
12:23And you, sir.
12:24We shan't be troubling you again.
12:26Dr. Losburn, did you take the bullet out of that pistol?
12:34I thought it might help.
12:37We must be patient, monks, my dear.
12:38That Krivichertzi will be swarming with traps.
12:39We must lie low.
12:40And I shall go myself.
12:41You waste your time, monks, my dear.
12:42Both Toby Crackett and Bill Sykes say the same.
12:43The boy was almost dead when they left him.
12:44He was almost a thief when he escaped from you.
12:46Sometimes I think it's a curse upon me.
12:47And when he's laid underground, he'll rise up and confront me.
12:49Then you really intend to go?
12:50Yes.
12:51When?
12:52Soon.
12:53I can depend on you, Fagin, if I find the boy.
12:55Your boy was almost dead when they left him.
12:58He was almost a thief when he escaped from you.
13:03Sometimes I think he's a curse upon me.
13:07When he's laid underground, he'll rise up and...
13:12confront me.
13:13Then you really intend to go?
13:16Yes.
13:16When?
13:17Soon.
13:20I can depend on you, Fagin, if I find the boy still alive.
13:23Need you ask, monks, my dear.
13:24About that payment we agreed upon.
13:26When you've done your work.
13:28A payment in advance makes a willing workman.
13:32I shall hear from you soon?
13:34Yes.
13:35Shall I move your chair, Oliver?
13:37Is a song too much for you?
13:39Oh, no.
13:40I like to go to the garden.
13:42Yes.
13:47Shall I move your chair, Oliver?
13:49Is a song too much for you?
13:51Oh, no.
13:52I like to go to the garden.
13:53I like to go to the garden.
13:54I like to go to the flowers and see how they grow.
13:57I wish I could help you tend them.
13:58So you shall, very soon.
14:00Dr. Losburn is very pleased with your progress.
14:04Now, it's time for your medicine.
14:08Miss Maylee?
14:09Yes?
14:10Do you live with your art because you're an orphan too?
14:13Yes, Oliver, I do.
14:15I'm really very like you, Oliver.
14:18I've known what it is to be poor and friendless just as you have.
14:21Is that why you're so kind to me?
14:23I hope I should have been kind without that reason.
14:26But yes, perhaps it is.
14:28Come on, drink up.
14:32You see, Oliver, my father died abroad in a strange place.
14:36Without a letter or a scrap of paper by which his relatives could be traced.
14:40I was only about three years old when it happened, but I remember being brought home to England
14:46and I remember to a sister who was much older, whom I never saw again.
14:51And what happened to you when you were brought back to England?
14:53I was taken to a cottage where a man and woman looked after me.
14:57I suppose they were paid a little money to do so.
15:00But where it came from, I don't know.
15:04Sometime later, they told me the money had stopped coming.
15:07And from then on, they began to treat me very badly.
15:10And then Mrs. Maylee saw you and knew you were her niece?
15:13No, she saw me and pitied me and took me home with her.
15:16And she's not my aunt.
15:18I don't know what my real name is, Oliver, any more than you do yours.
15:22But that doesn't matter now, does it?
15:23Now that you live with Mrs. Maylee...
15:26No, Oliver. Doesn't matter now.
15:30Good morning, Doctor.
15:31Good morning, Miss Rose.
15:33Good morning, Oliver.
15:34Good morning, sir.
15:35I have some news for our young patient, if he's strong enough to stand it.
15:38Good news, sir.
15:39No, it's disappointing, I'm afraid, Oliver.
15:42Nevertheless, it proves the truth of something that you told us.
15:46So for that reason alone, we must be grateful for it.
15:49Oh, please tell me, sir.
15:51I've been to London, Oliver, to that address you gave us.
15:54Oh, Mr. Brownlow, sir.
15:56Did you see him and tell him that I didn't run away?
15:58I didn't take his book or his...
15:59No, I couldn't tell him anything, Oliver.
16:01I couldn't.
16:02He wasn't there.
16:03He's gone away.
16:04Gone away?
16:05Yes.
16:06He went to the West Indies six weeks ago.
16:08There was Missus at Bedwin and an old gentleman named Mr. Grimwig.
16:11Well, inquiring at the house next door, they told me that the housekeeper and a gentleman
16:16who was a friend of Mr. Brownlow had gone with him.
16:18There was a bookstore keeper, Doctor.
16:20Oh, yes, sir.
16:21And when I'm better, I can take you to show you where it is.
16:23I know the way.
16:24No, no, no.
16:25If we go to the bookstall keepers, we shall certainly find that he's either dead or set
16:29the house on fire or run away.
16:32No, no.
16:33I've proved that you were truthful, Oliver.
16:36Mr. Brownlow must wait for your reassurance until he chooses to return home.
16:40Now then, Miss Rose, is this young fellow getting his rest?
16:46Yes, Doctor.
16:47Ah, somebody else is not, it seems.
16:50Now, what's this?
16:53You're looking very pale, my dear.
16:54Oh, it's being indoors, that's all.
16:56Well, soon we'll let our little patient run about in the garden and you shall go with him.
17:01Well, I'll be in again tomorrow, Oliver.
17:03Till then, look after Miss Rose for me.
17:05I will, sir.
17:06Yes, I believe you would upon my soul.
17:08If you take heed, Oliver, there's someone else who'd rather do it.
17:11How is young Master Harry, Miss Rose?
17:15I wonder if he stays in London so long.
17:18Well, goodbye to you both.
17:21Goodbye, sir.
17:22Goodbye, Doctor.
17:23Was Mr. Harry Miss Mayley?
17:26Mrs. Mayley's son.
17:27What did Dr. Warfer mean when he said Mr. Harry would rather look after him?
17:31Oh, nothing at all.
17:32He was joking.
17:33Now, you must get some rest.
17:35Is that comfortable?
17:36Yes, thank you.
17:37Very comfortable.
17:38Good.
17:39Good luck.
17:40Good luck.
17:41I know.
17:42We must have a Bombo.
17:49I've got a boom socio-uben.
17:55Hey Lary ofthose
18:01Bum, bull!
18:07Oh, you get a sitter snoring there all day.
18:10I shall sit here as long as I think it proper, ma'am.
18:14And although I was not a snoring,
18:16I shall snore, laugh, gape, sneeze, or cry,
18:20as the humor strikes me.
18:22Such be my prerogative.
18:24Your prerogative.
18:26I said the word, ma'am.
18:28The prerogative of a man is to command.
18:30And what's the prerogative of a woman, in the name of goodness?
18:33To obey.
18:34Your late husband should have taught it to you.
18:36If he had you, he might have been alive today.
18:40I wish he was, poor man.
18:42Oh, you wretch.
18:43You hard-hearted brute, you.
18:46Not two months married and now you wish me dead, I suppose.
18:49I haven't said anything, Mrs. Bumball,
18:52but if you should feel any inclinations that way,
18:55don't let me stop you.
18:57That's right, my dear.
19:01Have a good cry.
19:03It's good for the health.
19:04It opens the lungs, washes the countenances,
19:07exercises the eyes and softens down the temper.
19:10Have a good cry, Mrs. Bumball.
19:12Two months ago, you wouldn't have spoken to me like this.
19:15Two months ago, I was an angel.
19:18Oh, another room in this, you said,
19:22and there'd be a joining of hearts and housekeeping.
19:25I sold myself.
19:28I sold myself for six teaspoon's,
19:32a pair of sugar tongs and a milk pot
19:34with a quantity of second-hand furniture
19:36and twenty-poundin' money thrown in.
19:38I went very reasonable, cheap, dirty, cheap, cheap.
19:44You'd have been dear at any price
19:47and dear enough I'll bade for you, Lord of God knows that.
19:51Get up.
19:52Get up and take yourself away from you
19:54before I do something desperate.
19:56Mrs. Bumball, ma'am, have the goodness to look at me.
19:59Look me in the eye, ma'am, if you please.
20:01What am I supposed to look at you for?
20:03I know what you look like by heart
20:04and it doesn't give me any pleasure.
20:07Don't think it.
20:08Look at you, indeed.
20:09This eye, ma'am, has quelled multitudes.
20:14Paupers have quailed before this eye, ma'am.
20:17Well, then, go out and show it to them.
20:19They're very welcome to take a look at it for all our care
20:22and I wish you was out there now with them,
20:24quelling them all day long
20:26instead of sitting around here and sleeping about
20:28and getting under my feet.
20:30Where are you going?
20:31Mrs. Bumball, ma'am, if you please.
20:33Are you going?
20:34Oh, certainly, my dear, certainly.
20:36I was just on my way.
20:38Really, my dear, you are so very violent.
20:41And stop out, will you?
20:44Go and quell somebody with that eye of yours
20:47unless you want me to close it up for you,
20:49your great ugly brute, you.
20:51Oh, two months.
21:16Only two months.
21:16Only two months.
21:19Not only is I my own master
21:20and everybody else is as well,
21:22as far as the parochial workers is concerned.
21:25And now...
21:26Sold for six teaspoons,
21:36pair of sugar tongs
21:38and a milk pot.
21:40And a man don't know when he's happy.
21:47Forgive my intruding upon you, sir,
21:49but I fancy that you may be the person
21:50who I'm seeking.
21:52You were once beadle here, were you not?
21:54I was preoccupied all, sir.
21:59And what are you now?
22:02Master of the workers.
22:03Master of the workers, young man.
22:05I see.
22:06You still have the same eye to your own interests
22:08that you always had, have you not?
22:09Sir.
22:10You need not scruple to answer me freely.
22:13I know you very well by repute,
22:14and in your own interests,
22:15I suggest that you speak a little lower.
22:18Boy!
22:20Fill that glass, let it be strong and hot.
22:21Yes, sir.
22:22Well?
22:25Well, sir, parochial officers
22:27are not so very well paid
22:29that they can afford to refuse
22:31any little extra fee,
22:33especially when it's offered
22:34in a polite and agreeable manner.
22:37What was it you wanted, sir?
22:38Some information.
22:40I don't expect you to give it for nothing,
22:41slight as it is.
22:43Don't take this to begin with.
22:46Two sovereigns.
22:50Here.
22:52Can you carry your memory back to 12 years last winter?
22:5912 years?
22:59That's a long time.
23:01All right.
23:02I've done it.
23:02The scene is the workhouse.
23:04The time is night.
23:05In a miserable room there,
23:06a boy was born.
23:08Well, there are many boys born there.
23:10The one I speak of was a meek-looking, pale-faced boy
23:13who was apprenticed down here to a coffin-maker
23:15and afterwards ran away to London.
23:17Oliver.
23:18Young Oliver Twist.
23:19Oh, I remember him all right.
23:20A more obstinate young rascal.
23:22It's not of him I wish to hear.
23:24I've heard enough of him already.
23:25It's of the woman, the pauper,
23:27who nursed his mother.
23:28When is she?
23:30Well, that'll be hard to say.
23:32There's no midwifery there.
23:34Whichever place she's gone to,
23:35I suppose you might say she was out of employment anyway.
23:39What do you mean?
23:40She dies last winter.
23:44I see.
23:46Anyone with her?
23:47Yes, ma'am.
23:50The matron of the workhouse, sir.
23:53The old woman asked particularly to see her,
23:56said she had something to say to her before she dies.
23:59Something that weighed heavy on her conscience.
24:02How can I find this woman, the matron?
24:06Only through May.
24:10When?
24:12Tomorrow.
24:12Nine in the evening.
24:18Moving her to this place.
24:22I needn't tell you to be secret.
24:24It's in your own interests.
24:25Oh, wait a minute.
24:27What do you want detaining me?
24:28I need to put a question to you.
24:30What name am I to ask for?
24:32Monks.
24:42Monks.
25:08Monk.
25:08You
