00:00Oh
00:30Here you are, Miss Mealy, three minutes to midnight.
00:37I doubt very much whether she'll come now.
00:39We must wait till the hour strikes.
00:41She may have been delayed.
00:42If indeed she ever meant to keep the appointment.
00:44She was in deadly earnest, Mr Browno.
00:46If you'd seen her, you couldn't have doubted.
00:47Shh, shh, shh. Listen, listen, listen.
00:50Is that someone now?
00:55No?
00:55No.
00:56You're sure she said London Bridge?
00:58Yes. I walk on London Bridge every Sunday night from 11 till 12.
01:03Those were her words.
01:04Mr Browno, even if she didn't come,
01:06can we not do something with the information she's already given me?
01:09My dear Miss Mealy, what have we got to go on?
01:12A name.
01:13Monks.
01:15Plainly a false one at that.
01:17No clue whatsoever as to where he's to be found.
01:19A mere statement overheard by this girl
01:21and unsubstantiated by anybody else at all of his brother.
01:26If only she'd described the man.
01:29Listen.
01:30Well, there you are.
01:32No good waiting here any longer.
01:34Is there nothing we can do?
01:36She'll walk here again next Sunday night and hope she comes then.
01:38You did very well yesterday, my dear.
02:01Oh, six shillings and nine for safety the first day.
02:05The kinship lay will be a fortune to you.
02:08Don't you forget to add three pine pots and a milk can.
02:10Oh, no, no, my dear.
02:12The pine pots were strokes of genius,
02:14but the milk can was a perfect masterpiece.
02:16Oh, pretty well, I think, for a beginner.
02:19At a point, pots, I took off airy railings
02:21and a milk can I found standing by itself outside a public house.
02:24Well, I thought it might get rusted with the rain or catch cold, you know.
02:27Eh?
02:28It's all I've taken.
02:31The artful's booked for a passenger.
02:33What?
02:35What happened?
02:36They found the gentleman what owns the box.
02:38Two or three more are coming to identify him.
02:40Jack Dawkins, the artful dodger,
02:43going abroad for a tummy ache in his snuff box.
02:45Why didn't he rob some rich old gentleman of all his valuables
02:48and go out as a gentleman?
02:50Not a common prig without honour nor glory.
02:52Why do you talk about him having either honour nor glory for?
02:56Is there one of you who could touch him
02:57or come within an inch of him on the same thing?
02:59Not one, not one.
03:00Then why do you talk so?
03:02Because it ain't in the record, is it?
03:03Because it can't come out in the indictment.
03:06Because nobody's going to know one half of what he was.
03:08Now, will he stand in the Newgate calendar?
03:12Perhaps he won't be there at all.
03:14Oh, my eye, what a blow!
03:15You see, my dear,
03:17what a pride they take in the profession, beautiful, ain't it?
03:20Never mind, Charlie.
03:21Think what a distinction it is to be lagged at his time of life.
03:26Run along to the courts, my dear.
03:28Only be careful to see how he gets on.
03:30It'd be a sensation.
03:31I can see him now.
03:33All the bigwigs trying to look solemn.
03:35And Jack Dawkins addressing him.
03:37As in a man comfortable as though it was a judge's own son
03:39making a speech after dinner.
03:41We can read it all in the papers.
03:43Artful Dodger, shrieks of laughter.
03:46Here the court was convulsed.
03:48Make haste, my dears, or you may miss some of it.
03:51We'll take him something in the jug, eh, Fagin?
03:52To be sure, to be sure.
03:55Beer every day.
03:56And money to play pitch and toss.
03:58Even if he can't stand it.
04:03He shall be kept like a gentleman.
04:06Like a gentleman.
04:14Walter, my dear.
04:17Well, I'm here.
04:18What's the matter?
04:19Now, don't you go asking me to do nothing
04:20until I've done eating.
04:21That's a great fault with this place.
04:23You never get time enough over your meals.
04:24Well, you can talk as you will, can't you?
04:27Oh, yeah, I can talk.
04:28I'll get some better when I talk.
04:31Here.
04:32Where's Charlotte?
04:33I sent her out with Beth this morning.
04:35I wanted to speak to you alone.
04:37Oh.
04:37Well, I wish you'd ordered her
04:38to make some buttered toast first.
04:40All right, talk away.
04:41You won't interrupt me.
04:42I want you, Walter,
04:44to do a piece of work for me
04:45that requires great care and attention, my dear.
04:49I wouldn't ask you.
04:51You know,
04:53my best hand
04:55has just been taken from me.
04:58Yeah, don't you go
04:59shoving me into danger.
05:00That don't suit me.
05:01That don't.
05:01And so I'll tell you.
05:02Straight off.
05:02There's not the smallest danger in it, my dear.
05:04Not the very smallest.
05:06It's only to dodge a woman.
05:08An old woman?
05:09A young one.
05:10Oh, I can do that pretty well, I know.
05:11I was a regular cunning sneak
05:13when I was at school.
05:14It's what am I to judge her for?
05:16Not to...
05:16Not for anything.
05:18Just to find out
05:19where she goes,
05:20who she sees,
05:22and if possible,
05:22what she says.
05:23To remember the street,
05:24if it is a street,
05:25and the house,
05:26if it is a house.
05:27And to bring back
05:28all the information you can.
05:31What do you give me?
05:32If you do it well,
05:34a pound.
05:35That's what I never gave yet,
05:37where there wasn't
05:38a valuable consideration to be gained.
05:40Who is she?
05:41One of us.
05:44Oh, Lord,
05:46and you're doubtful of her, are you?
05:47I think she's found some new friends,
05:50and I must know who they are.
05:53I see.
05:53So you'd have the pleasure
05:54of knowing who they are
05:55if they're respectable people, eh?
05:58All right, faking on me, man.
06:00I knew you would be, my dear.
06:02I knew it.
06:03Really, see, after I get to know her.
06:04Oh, gently, gently,
06:06all that you shall know,
06:07I shall point her out to you
06:09at the proper time.
06:10You have to keep ready.
06:13And leave the rest to me.
06:16You still have as many books
06:17as you used to have,
06:18Mr. Brownlow?
06:19Oh, yes, indeed.
06:21Of course, they were all put in store for me
06:22while I went away.
06:24But I couldn't bear to be parted
06:25from my books forever.
06:26Oh, they're my dearest friends.
06:27Why did you go abroad, sir?
06:29Hmm?
06:29I went abroad, Oliver,
06:31to the West Indies,
06:32because I hoped to find the answer
06:33to something that had puzzled me.
06:34And did you learn it, sir?
06:35No, I'm afraid I didn't,
06:36but I hoped to yet,
06:37because I believe the key to the puzzle
06:39lies here in London, after all.
06:41But come, come, my boy, come, come.
06:43And you too, Miss Mayley.
06:45You're not eating anything.
06:47Mrs. Bedwin provided all this
06:48for your entertainment.
06:50Oh, Mr. Brownlow.
06:51Oh, my boy.
06:52That picture, it's back on the wall again.
06:54Oh.
06:55Mr. Brownlow had it taken down
06:56when I was ill.
06:57He thought it worried me.
06:58But it didn't worry me at all, really.
07:01I used to like to sit and look at it.
07:03Don't you think that lady's
07:04very pretty, Miss Rose?
07:05Yes, very pretty, Oliver.
07:06Have this tea cake, boy.
07:08I know you want it.
07:09Oh, thank you, sir.
07:10Hmm.
07:11I see you haven't lost your appetite.
07:14Nasty, greedy animals, boys.
07:16Can't bear them.
07:17I didn't really want this, sir.
07:19I only took it to please you.
07:20Don't tell me I know, boys.
07:23Always eating, always talking.
07:25Oh, nonsense, grimwig nonsense.
07:28You know Oliver's not like that.
07:29You must forgive my friend, Miss Mayley.
07:30Whatever he may say,
07:31his heart is a great deal better
07:32than he will allow.
07:33I'm sure it is.
07:34Are you, my dear lady?
07:35Are you?
07:36Well, I wouldn't be too sure of that
07:37if I were you.
07:38All this sentimentality in our days,
07:41it's humbug.
07:42Now, Oliver, before you go,
07:43Mrs Bedwin would like to see you.
07:44And as I want to have a word
07:45with Miss Mayley,
07:46perhaps we'd better run along now.
07:47Of course, sir.
07:48And if Miss Mayley
07:49is a little while in coming,
07:50here's a new book.
07:52It's some rather interesting plates,
07:54I think,
07:54if we'd like to look at that.
07:55Oh, thank you, sir.
07:56And don't be running off with it
07:58and taking it
07:59to your rascally friends.
08:00I didn't, sir.
08:02I explained everything to Mr Franner.
08:03They just came up to me.
08:03Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
08:05We know exactly what they did
08:06and Mr Grimwig doesn't mean a word of it.
08:08Doesn't he, though?
08:08Oh, doesn't he?
08:10Now, run along, Oliver.
08:13Miss Mayley,
08:14although my friend Grimwig's manor
08:16may not have prepossessed you
08:17in his favour,
08:18I can assure you
08:19that he is one of the most trustworthy
08:21and most loyal people
08:22you can meet in a worthy cause.
08:24and therefore I suggest to you
08:25that if we meet with success tonight
08:27and our informant doesn't disappoint us
08:29at our meeting place,
08:30that we take him into our confidence.
08:32We shall need all the help we can get.
08:34I'm willing to be guided by you,
08:35Mr Brownlow.
08:36Thank you, dear Miss Mayley.
08:37Ah, something to do with that boy,
08:39I take it?
08:40Yes, Grimwig it is,
08:41but pray don't ask me any more
08:43at this time.
08:44Mr Brownlow?
08:45Yes?
08:46That picture.
08:46Oh, yes.
08:47The extraordinary likeness.
08:49Who was she?
08:51She was the daughter
08:51of a very great friend of mine.
08:53She must have been,
08:55let me see,
08:5516 when that portrait was done.
08:58What was her history?
08:59I don't know, Miss Mayley.
09:00I don't know,
09:01but it was Oliver's resemblance to her
09:03that partly aroused my interest in him
09:05because I loved her
09:06and her family very dearly.
09:08The likeness, of course,
09:09may be fortuitous.
09:11Oh, it may be.
09:12It may be the other thing,
09:13yes, yes,
09:13and that is what I hope
09:14our meeting on London Bridge tonight
09:16may help the point.
09:16Thank you, Grimwig.
09:23There's Nancy Barney.
09:39In the tap.
09:41Bill went out to Nava go.
09:42Yes, I know, my dear.
09:43On the lay, on the lay.
09:44On the lay.
09:53There she is now.
10:01Look.
10:02Is that the woman?
10:03Yes.
10:04Can't see her face very well.
10:07That's all right,
10:07she's turned to it.
10:09Can you see plainly?
10:11I'd know her in a thousand.
10:23Now.
10:29Bolton,
10:30take the left hand
10:33and keep on the other side.
10:53In the air.
11:06No.
11:09Oh.
11:15Now.
11:17Nancy, not here, I'm afraid to speak to you here, come away out of the public road, down
11:43the steps, Shonda.
12:05Mrs, this is far enough, I'm not stopping this young lady to go any further, why couldn't
12:10you have spoken to me up there? I was afraid to speak to you there, I don't know why it is.
12:14I have such a fear and dread on me tonight, I can hardly stand.
12:17Fear of what? I don't know, lady, I wish I did.
12:19Why didn't you come last Sunday night? I was kept by force by Bill, the man I've told you of before.
12:24I had to put lodnum in his drink in order to see you the first time.
12:27Do they suspect you? No, neither of them suspect me.
12:29Good, now listen to me. This young lady has confided in me everything that you told her a fortnight ago.
12:35And now I tell you, without reserve, that it is our purpose to extort, to seek with whatever it may be from this man monks,
12:42and if we cannot, then you must surrender up this man pagan.
12:45No, I won't do it. Devil that he is, and worse than devil than he's been to me, I'll never do that.
12:51Tell me why.
12:53I've led a bad life, as bad as he has. There are many of us who have kept the same courses together. I'll not turn on them.
13:01Very well, then. Hand this man monks over to me. And if we can get the truth out of him, I promise you the matter shall rest there.
13:08And if you can't?
13:10Even so, this man pagan shall not be brought to justice without your consent.
13:14Have I the lady's promise for? Yes.
13:16My true and faithful pledge.
13:19Then, almost every night, you will find him at a public house in Clerkenwell, called the Three Cripples. Monks is not his real name, I know, only the name he goes by with us.
13:30And his appearance?
13:31Tall, dark, strongly made, eyes deeply sunk into his head. You might almost tell him from this alone.
13:37What age?
13:38About eight and twenty. And sometimes he has strange fits of violence, when he bites his hands and lips so much as to almost make them bleed.
13:45Has he some mark upon him, like a burn, or a skull, some broad red mark?
13:49Yes, on his throat. You can see it when he turns his face. You know him?
13:53I think I do. We shall see. Of course, lots of people look like each other. It may not be the same.
13:58That is all I can tell you. I must go back now.
14:00No, wait. You've been extremely useful to us, and I must repay you. What can I do to serve you?
14:06There is nothing you can do to help me, sir.
14:09Oh, come. There must be something. I mean, it may not be within our power to give you peace of heart and mind, but we can give you a new life in some part, either in England or a new country.
14:20Come, quit your old companions, I beg of you, while there's still time and opportunity.
14:24Nancy, you hesitate. Can't we persuade you?
14:28No, lady, no. I've gone too far to turn back.
14:34This fear comes over me again. I must go home.
14:37Home? But, Nancy, what can be the end of it all?
14:43The end.
14:46Go up before me. I mustn't be seen with you.
14:48Good night. God bless you, Nancy.
15:18God bless my soul. What an astonishing thing. Whoever would have believed it.
15:23You must forgive us, Doctor, for disturbing you at such an hour to tell you.
15:26My dear Miss Mary, I would not have been left out of it for worlds. This man must...
15:31It's about this man that we seek your advice, Doctor Lossman. To go to the police at this moment would seem ill-considered.
15:36Oh, out of the question at the moment? Well, certainly.
15:38Yes, but if we should discover him at this public house, it may need a little persuasion to make him speak.
15:43May I suggest, Mr. Brownlow, that you take one other person into your confidence?
15:47Young Harry Mayley.
15:48Harry?
15:49No one has your interest more at heart than he, Miss Mayley. And as you seem to be involved in this mystery, Harry, with his high connections, might be a very useful ally.
16:01Do you agree, Miss Mayley?
16:02If you and Dr. Lossman both advise it.
16:04I seek him out at once. But it irks me, Mr. Brownlow, that the other wretches in this business should go scot-free.
16:10We made that promise, Doctor, and we must keep it. Even now, that girl's face haunts me. She took such a risk for us.
16:17Yes, but nobody saw her, Miss Mayley. We were quite alone in that place. Now, don't be afraid. No harm will come to her.
16:30At last! At last!
16:33Here! Take care of that lot, eh? Ha ha! Get the most I can for you, eh? Trouble enough getting it.
16:43Bill, I thought I should have been here three hours ago.
16:48But what now? What you looking a man like that for, eh?
16:51No, I'm not. Tell me, have you gone mad?
16:53No, it's not you, Bill. You're not the person. I've no fault to fight with you, Bill.
16:57What, lad?
16:58That to tell you, Bill, that will make you worse than me.
17:01Oh, tell her, Wade, and he looks sharp, or Nance will think I've got law.
17:04Laws!
17:05She pretty well seems to have settled that of her mind already.
17:08Ah, speak out, will you? Open your mouth and say what you've got to say in plain English.
17:13Out with it, you fuddering, old cur. Out with it.
17:16Suppose, Bill, suppose that lad that's slain there were to peach, to blow on us all,
17:23seeking out the right folks for the purpose, and going to meet them at nights,
17:28to paint our likenesses, describe every mark they might know us by,
17:32and the crib where we might most easily be taken.
17:35Suppose he were to do all this, and besides, to blow upon us in a plant we've all been in,
17:41to please his own fancy, stealing out at night to find those most interested against us.
17:47What would you do, Bill?
17:49Do?
17:50If he were left alive till I came, I'd grind his skull under the iron heel,
17:55and be booted into as many grains as he'd got hairs on his head.
17:58And what if I did it? I that know so much, and could hang so many besides myself,
18:03I'd do something in the jail, and get myself put in irons.
18:07And if I was tried alongside upon you, I'd fall upon him.
18:11I'd fall upon you with him.
18:13I'd break your skull in the open corner for all the people.
18:16And I should have such strength, I'd smash your head as if a loaded wagon had gone over it.
18:22Lads, if Dad did it, or Charlie...
18:24Oh, Charlie, I'd sell them all alike.
18:27Walter! Walter!
18:30Poor lad, he's tired, tired of watching her so long.
18:37Watching her, Bill.
18:44What do you mean?
18:45Walter, Walter, my dear.
18:49Tell him, tell me that again, once again, just for him to hear.
18:57Say what?
18:58That about Nancy. You followed her, didn't you?
19:01Yeah.
19:02To London Bridge.
19:03Yeah.
19:04Where she met two people.
19:05So she did.
19:06A gentleman and a lady whom she'd been to before of her own accord.
19:08And who wanted her to give up all her pals and monks first.
19:11Which she did.
19:12And to describe him, which she did.
19:14And to tell them the house where we met.
19:16And what time the people went there, which she did.
19:19She did all this, didn't she?
19:21She told them every word, without threat, without murmur, she did.
19:25Didn't she?
19:26Yeah, that's just what it was.
19:28And what did they say about last Sunday?
19:32They asked her why she didn't go as she promised, and she said she couldn't.
19:35Why not?
19:36Tell him that.
19:37Because she was forcibly kept from leaving the house by Bill, the man she told him of
19:41before.
19:42And now the first time she went to see the lady, she had to give him a drink of lorgnum to keep
19:45him quiet.
19:46Oh, sire.
19:47Bill.
19:48Hear me.
19:49Let me go.
19:50It's not safe.
19:51It's not safe.
19:52But that's right.
19:54I got here.
19:55Let me go.
19:56It's not safe.
19:57Bill?
20:27Get up.
20:32It is you, Bill?
20:33It is.
20:34Get up.
20:44Bill, why do you look at me like that?
20:53There's light enough for what I've got to do.
20:56Bill?
20:57I promise I won't scream or cry not once.
20:59Only hear me speak to me.
21:00Tell me what I've done.
21:01You know.
21:04You were watched tonight.
21:08Every word you said was heard.
21:13Bill.
21:16Don't kill me.
21:18I spared your life.
21:21On my illness I did.
21:23They tried to make me give you up but I wouldn't.
21:25Bill.
21:27Whatever I've done I've been true to you on my guilty word of harm.
21:32Bill.
21:34The gentleman and lady offered me a home tonight in some foreign country where I could start a new life.
21:40Let me see them again and beg them to show the same goodness and mercy to you.
21:44We could go together, Bill, and start again.
21:49There is a chance for us, Bill.
21:50There's still a chance.
21:52Bill, don't kill me.
21:53I love you.
21:54I love you.
22:03I love you.
22:17Thanks.
22:24Let's go.
22:54I don't know.
23:24The bullseye!
23:54The bullseye!
