00:00Keep her steady, Lizzie.
00:11Yes, Father.
00:30Take that thing off your face, that's better.
00:42Here, change places, I'll take a turn at the skulls.
00:44No, no, Father, I couldn't, I couldn't bear to sit so near to it.
00:48What harm can it do you?
00:49None, no harm, but I can't bear it, Father.
00:52You hate the river, don't you?
00:54I don't like it.
00:55As if it wasn't your living.
00:57The river's meat and drink to me, Liz, and to you, too.
01:02It's your best friend.
01:03I know.
01:04And don't you forget it.
01:06Why, the very coal that warmed you as a baby was picked out of these here coal barges.
01:11And you say you hate the river.
01:13I can't help it, Father.
01:15It's not the river so much, it's that, picking up bodies.
01:20And why not, for God's sake?
01:22If we don't, somebody else will.
01:24And we can do with the money, I can tell you.
01:26Arooah!
01:28Arooah, Gaffer!
01:35In luck again, Gaffer.
01:37So you're out, are you?
01:38Yes, partner, I'm out.
01:40Directly you over inside, I said to meself,
01:42there's Gaffer Eczema says it, he's in luck again.
01:45So here I am to lend a hand.
01:49Been knocking about with a pretty many tides, ain't he, partner?
01:53Must have passed me when he went upstream last time.
01:56I missed him.
01:57That's too bad, that is.
01:58I'll never have any luck.
02:00But you, partner?
02:02Sometimes I think you'll like the vultures and smell them out.
02:06Here, steady, Lizzie.
02:07Hold on, girl.
02:08What are you doing?
02:09Shall I put you aboard, Gaffer?
02:10No.
02:12You ain't been eating anything that has disagreed with you, have you, partner?
02:15Yes, I have.
02:16I've been swallowing too much to let their word, partner.
02:19I ain't no partner of yours.
02:21Since when was you no partner of mine, Gaffer Eczema, her squire?
02:25Since you was accused of robbing a live man, Rode Roderug.
02:28Aren't you robbing a dead man?
02:30No.
02:31Can't be done.
02:32Has a dead man any use for money?
02:34Where does a dead man belong to?
02:36T'other world.
02:37Where does money belong to?
02:38This world.
02:39What use is a corpse for money?
02:40Oh, ain't no difference as I could say.
02:42Oh, yes there is.
02:43You've put your hand in the pocket of a live sailor.
02:46Unlucky you was to get off with only a short stretch.
02:48So don't think to come over me with your pardon of this and your pardon of that.
02:52Now let go.
02:53Cast off, do you hear?
02:54Are you going to get rid of me this way?
02:55If I can't do any of this way, then I'll try another and take a picture of this here boat hook.
02:58Go on, Lizzie, for the way.
02:59Cast off.
03:22Charlie needed for you, father.
03:23He'll be on the jetty, I expect.
03:26He's too fond of learning by half, that boy.
03:28But he's useful, father.
03:30He'll be able to tell you what's in the letter.
03:32Perhaps it might tell you who that person is.
03:36I don't know as I want to know.
03:38Still, it might be useful.
03:40Charlie!
03:41Charlie!
03:42Charlie!
03:43Charlie!
03:44Charlie Exum!
03:45Yes, father?
03:46Why don't you come when I call you?
03:47I don't answer back.
03:48Now listen, you.
03:49What I've got in tow is going to the mortuary, see?
03:50So you go and fetch a policeman, see?
03:51Wait a minute, can't you?
03:52Before you go, I want you to read me what's on this here bit of paper.
03:56Well, go on, boy.
03:57What's it say?
03:58Well, there's a name at the top.
03:59Lightwood.
04:00Mortimer Lightwood.
04:01He lives at the Temple.
04:02That'll be a lawyer.
04:03Who's the letter to?
04:04Can't see very well.
04:05I think it's John something.
04:07I think it's John something.
04:10He's not a good one.
04:11I don't know.
04:12I don't know, I think.
04:13I'm getting some of that.
04:14It's about a bit of paper.
04:15I don't know, I know.
04:16I'm getting some of those going to the mortuary, see?
04:18So you go and fetch a policeman, see?
04:19Wait a minute, can'tcha?
04:20Before you go, I want you to read me what's on this here bit of paper.
04:23I think it's John something.
04:27H.A. Harman. John Harman.
04:33What is it, Charlie?
04:34He's coming to a lot of money. Thousands.
04:36Well, this letter's to tell him what I can say about it.
04:39The poor man.
04:40Poor man be damned. Won't do him no good now.
04:43It'll set us up fine, some of it at least.
04:45Come on, Charlie, you go and get a policeman.
04:46Then you go home and you get pen and paper
04:48and you'll write to this here Lightwood or whatever his name is.
04:50Cut along now. I'll be there just after you.
04:53And I'll tell you what to say.
04:54Then tomorrow, after I throw it over a bit,
04:57perhaps you can take the letter to this here address on the bit of paper.
05:00Now, Temple, that's a good estate.
05:02Well, I ain't one to be mean over trifles when there's a tidy sun at stake.
05:05You can take a cab.
05:06Yes, and he can pay for it.
05:08Go on, cut along now. Get that copper.
05:10No, Liz, not you. You stay here.
05:12I want you to be a witness as to how and when I found the body.
05:14Come on, please.
05:24Mortimer!
05:24Mortimer, I simply cannot have you monopolising my party like this.
05:29But you positively must tell me more about the man from Jamaica.
05:32Oh, yes, I do.
05:33I don't have any man from Jamaica, my dear Mrs. Vignoli.
05:35Well, I know there's a man from somewhere that's had a simply fascinating life.
05:38The man from somewhere will soon be something of a bore.
05:40Well, now, the name of the place he comes from, a skatesmith from at the moment,
05:45it's Where They Make Wine.
05:46Say, and Martin.
05:48I say, old Eugene's coming out.
05:50Be quiet.
05:50You should have gone in again.
05:52Go on, Mortimer.
05:53Georgiana.
05:54Georgiana, darling.
05:55Come over here and listen to Mr. Lightwood's perfectly fascinating story
05:58about a man from somewhere where they make the wine.
06:02There.
06:03Well, go on, Mortimer.
06:05You may begin.
06:06The man, whose name is Harman, is the only son of a tremendous old rascal who made his money in dust.
06:12Red velvet kings and a bell.
06:14And a ladder and a basket, I expect.
06:16As a dust contractor, this old man grew rich.
06:18Whatever arm.
06:19Coal dust, vegetable dust.
06:21Crockery dust.
06:22Crockery dust.
06:23Sifted dust.
06:24All manner of dust.
06:25This old Kermagen lived in a gloomy house with his mountains of dust all round him.
06:29He quarrels with his wife, turns his son and daughter out of doors, then he dies.
06:33But not before he makes a malicious will in which he leaves all his dusty money to his son.
06:38A man from wherever it is.
06:40Precisely.
06:41On condition that he marries a girl he's never seen.
06:44And that's really all I know.
06:45He's supposed to be sailing home from Africa now.
06:47But suppose the fellow's married already?
06:49Oh, too bad.
06:50Too sad.
06:51I think it's a rather disappointing story.
06:54I quite expected a happy ending.
06:56And now I suppose we shall have to wait until you've settled all his affairs and are about to dance that he's waiting.
07:03Forgive me, Mrs. Veneering, business idea.
07:06Oh, these lawyers are always so in demand.
07:09Well, as they were, madam, this is the first case Mortimer has had.
07:12I haven't had any.
07:13No bad news, I hope, Mortimer.
07:17It's the end of the story.
07:19What?
07:20Well, tell it to me.
07:22You're all wrong.
07:25He's dead.
07:26Dead?
07:27Dead?
07:28Drowned.
07:29And now, if you will forgive me, Mrs. Veneering, I must go with the boy who brought this note.
07:33He's waiting.
07:34Eugene, come with me.
07:35Of course.
07:36Oh!
07:37How annoying!
07:38And how exciting!
07:39You come back.
07:40Tell us all about you.
07:41If it's not too late.
07:47You the boy who brought this note?
07:48Yes, sir.
07:49Whose handwriting is this?
07:50Mine, sir.
07:51Who told you to write it?
07:53My father, Jesse Exum.
07:54Is he who found the body?
07:55Yes, sir.
07:56Hmm.
07:57What is your father?
07:58Guess he's living along shore.
08:00Far from here?
08:01That's a goodish step.
08:02I came in a cab because my father says it was important.
08:05The cab's waiting outside to be paid.
08:07We could go back in it before he paid it, if you like, sir.
08:10How did you find me here?
08:12I went first to your office.
08:13The address was on the paper found in these pockets.
08:15The chap there said you've gone out and saw him where to find you.
08:19Is it certain that the gentleman is dead?
08:21He wouldn't ask that if you'd have seen him.
08:23Deader than Lazarus he was.
08:25And what do you know about Lazarus, young Shaver?
08:27I read about him in school.
08:28Hmm.
08:29But don't you tell my father he don't like my going.
08:31It's my sister who helps me go.
08:33You seem to have a good sister.
08:34She ain't bad.
08:35She don't know anything.
08:37She knows the letters it's the most.
08:39And then I learnt her.
08:41Well, I'm sure, sir.
08:42I hope you'll know me again.
08:44Come along, Eugene.
08:45Lead the way, boy.
08:46Lead the way, boy.
08:47Some店 clans a little bit.
08:49See you, Mr.
08:51abreast.
08:52But I think I can do it on a deck.
08:53Here I am.
08:54Careful looking, Spot.
09:08Oh, young cutthroat's getting down off the box.
09:10This is as far as we go.
09:12You have to walk and rest.
09:13Oh.
09:18This is a confoundedly out-of-the-way spot.
09:24That's my father's, sir.
09:30Mother Lightley's.
09:37Here we are.
09:38This is it.
09:41The gentleman's father.
09:44You Mr. Lightwood?
09:46Yes.
09:46Mr. Mortimer Lightwood?
09:47That is my name.
09:48What you found?
09:49Is it here?
09:50Not here.
09:50Close by.
09:51I does everything regular.
09:53I notified the police.
09:55And the police have took possession of it.
09:57They've put it into print already.
10:00Only papers on the unfortunate man I've seen.
10:03That's right.
10:03Only papers.
10:04No money.
10:05Three penny pieces.
10:07But the trouser pocket's empty and turned inside out.
10:09All that's common, that is.
10:10A wash of the toilet, I dare say.
10:12Look at these here placards.
10:14His pocket was found empty, turned inside out.
10:16So was his.
10:16And his'n.
10:17And hers.
10:18She was the young woman in grey boots and a linen mark with a cross.
10:22These was them two sisters what toyed theirselves together with an anchorchip.
10:25This is the fella who had offered to make an old in the water for a quartan of rum stood
10:29aforehand.
10:30You didn't find all of these yourself, did you?
10:32And who might you be?
10:33This is my friend, Mr. Eugene Rayburn.
10:35And what might Mr. Eugene Rayburn have asked me?
10:37I asked you simply if you found most of these yourself.
10:39And I answered simply, most of them.
10:42Do you suppose there was robbery and violence in most of these cases?
10:45I don't suppose at all, sir.
10:46I ain't the supposing sort.
10:48Do you want to see the body?
10:50Lead the way.
11:02A body missing or a body found?
11:04I'm...
11:04I'm lost.
11:06Lost?
11:07I'm a stranger.
11:07I want to find a place where I can see what's described here.
11:12Well, this here, gentlemen, Mr. Lightwood, he's on the same errand.
11:15Mr. Lightwood?
11:16You mentioned my name, sir.
11:18No, I'm...
11:19I merely repeated it out for this man.
11:21You say you're a stranger in London?
11:23Yes, I'm not a stranger.
11:24Are you seeking a man named Harmon?
11:27No.
11:28Then, I think I can assure you, you will not find what you fear to find.
11:31Will you come with us?
11:32This way.
11:34This way, gentlemen.
12:04There it is.
12:12Was there no clues for how he came to be in the river?
12:15None that I know, son.
12:16These injuries, were they inflicted before or after death?
12:20Oh, no telling now, sir.
12:22No one knows what happened to him from the time he left the ship.
12:24He came back on till the time he was picked up by Examere.
12:27Has anyone been able to identify him?
12:28Yes, sir.
12:29Steward, the ship's been round to view and could swear to identity.
12:31Likewise, could swear to clothing.
12:33And then there were these here papers what Exam kept.
12:36Ah, it's John Armand, all right.
12:37Inquest tomorrow.
12:39Open verdict, you'll see.
12:40Get some water.
12:43Ah, seems to have knocked your friend up.
12:46Ain't used to sights, I dare say.
12:48I don't know.
12:48I've never seen him before.
12:49Like this.
12:51Here, bring him into my office as soon as he's feeling better.
12:54This way, sir.
12:54So, you don't know him.
13:04Why don't you pick him up?
13:05Get him outside.
13:06Said he was looking for this place.
13:07He seemed terribly distressed.
13:08I think he expected to find a friend of his on that slab.
13:11Did he?
13:12Yeah.
13:12Perhaps he did.
13:15Ah, here he is.
13:18Ah, turned you faint, sir.
13:20Not used to this kind of thing, I expect.
13:22No, it's a horrible sight.
13:25Surely that man must have been murdered.
13:27You expected to identify, aren't I?
13:30Yes.
13:31And did you?
13:33No, no.
13:34Who do you think you might have been?
13:36Oh, come on, sir.
13:37Give us a description.
13:38Perhaps we can help you.
13:40No, thank you.
13:41It would be quite useless.
13:43You came here looking for someone.
13:45Who was it?
13:47You must excuse my not telling you.
13:49I'm sure you understand that families don't always want to publish their misfortunes.
13:54I don't question your right to ask, and you won't question my right to withhold the answer.
13:59Good night.
13:59At least you won't mind me asking you for your card.
14:03I'm afraid I haven't won.
14:05Well, your name, then.
14:06You'll not object to writing down your name and address.
14:09No, not at all.
14:20Julius Hanford.
14:26Checker Coffee House.
14:29Palace Yard.
14:31Ah, Westminster.
14:32You stay in there, I presume?
14:36Yes.
14:39Good night.
14:40Good night, sir.
14:47Now, then, take care of that piece of paper and keep that chap in view.
14:49Without giving offence, mind, make sure he's staying there and find out all he can about him.
14:53Now, sir, anything else I can do for you?
14:55I don't think so, thank you.
14:56I shall be at the inquest, of course.
14:57Come, Eugene.
14:59Text him, I'll settle up with you tomorrow.
15:00Good night.
15:01Good night, sir.
15:05Good night, sir.
15:08What's the stuff going?
15:09Thanks very much.
15:12Point of water, please, Miss Hemmy.
15:14Listen to me, you, Ryderford.
15:16This house don't want you at all and would rather have your room than your company.
15:19You'll get your pint, but not another drug more, so make the most of it.
15:22If I behave meself, you can't refuse to serve me, miss.
15:25Can't I?
15:26No.
15:27The law says.
15:28I'm the law here, my man.
15:30I'll soon convince you of that.
15:31Just one more, Miss Hemmy.
15:33Hey, Jack, Jack, why would you do what we can't see now?
15:38Here, Jack.
15:39More cruel and hard for me, Miss Potterson, ma'am.
15:42Is it me characters you take objections to?
15:44It is.
15:45It's hard.
15:46This house ain't free to me.
15:48And Guffer Exum come as often as he likes.
15:50Guffer's not been where you've been.
15:52Signify an inquad, miss.
15:54I mean he don't deserve it.
15:56Guffer's going to be suspected of far worse than the river I done.
16:00Who suspects him?
16:01Quente, me for one.
16:03Pugh, you're nothing.
16:05Don't forget I was his partner, miss.
16:07I want out all the ins and outs of him.
16:10I didn't suit Mr. Exum as a partner.
16:13Oh, dear, now.
16:15I never had no luck when we went fishing.
16:17We had all the luck.
16:20He had more skill than you are, didn't I?
16:23You're out from the river pretty nigh every tide.
16:27When you're looking for a man or a woman in the river,
16:29he'll greatly help your skill, Miss Abbey,
16:32by knocking a man or a woman on the head of forehead
16:34and pitching him in.
16:35Precious love, would you mean?
16:37Mind you, I know what I know, Miss Abbey.
16:39And mind you, I'll follow him up, Miss Abbey.
16:42And mind you, I'll bring him to book at last
16:44if it's 20 years in size.
16:45I'll listen to no more of your scandalous tales.
16:47Drink up your pint and be off.
16:49Here, near closing time for some of you.
16:52George Jones told you to ask you to be home, Punchell.
16:54Bill Williams and Jonathan and you, Alf,
16:56you can stay a while longer.
16:57Come on, Abbey.
16:58The sooner you go, the better.
16:59I'd like a gin and water, please, Miss Abbey.
17:13You have as much as is good for you.
17:15Oh, Miss Abbey, I'm very good, Mum.
17:20Good night.
17:22All right, then, Mum.
17:27And you can stop your sniggering, young Mullins,
17:38for I know your work begins early, so you can go, too.
17:41All right.
17:42Good night, Miss Abbey.
17:42Good night.
17:43Good night.
17:43Good night.
17:44Good night.
17:44Come on, mate.
17:45Come on, mate.
17:45Come on, mate.
17:45Come on, Miss Abbey.
17:46Come on, Miss Abbey.
17:48Good night, Miss Abbey.
17:49Good night.
17:49Good night, Miss Abbey.
18:09Come in, girl.
18:11Shut the door.
18:12Can you eat a bite with me?
18:17No, thank you, Miss.
18:17I've had my supper.
18:19I'm no stomach for mine, either.
18:21Sit down, girl.
18:25I'm put out, Lizzie.
18:27I'm very much put out.
18:29Oh, Miss, I'm sorry.
18:30Sorry?
18:31Then why in the name of goodness do you do it?
18:34Do what, Miss?
18:35Oh, don't look so astonished.
18:36I always was a pepperer.
18:38Why do you stay with that rascally father of yours?
18:41Time after time, I've given you a chance to get clear of him and do well for yourself.
18:44You mean it kindly, Miss.
18:46I know.
18:46I'm half ashamed of myself for the interest I take in you.
18:49And I don't believe I should do it if you were not so good looking.
18:51Why ain't she ugly?
18:54Lizzie, do you know the worst of your father?
18:58What do you mean?
19:01Well, there are suspicions about him.
19:04Do you know what they are?
19:05Oh, please, Miss, tell me.
19:07It's not an easy thing to tell a daughter, but it must be told.
19:12Everybody knows that Gaffer Hexham has found bodies in the river before now.
19:16Quite a few bodies, Lizzie.
19:18So do other men.
19:19It's thought be summed as your father helped some of those bodies to their death.
19:23Well, they don't know, my father, if they talk like that.
19:27Who told you this, Miss Abbey?
19:28Was it someone with a grudge against him?
19:31Riderhood, for instance.
19:32Well, yes, it was.
19:34But he was father's partner and father broke with him.
19:36He was very angry about it.
19:39And he swore to be revenged.
19:41Are you sure there's no more to it than that?
19:44Miss Abbey, let me tell you something that's been haunting me.
19:48Only you must promise not to breathe a word of it to anyone.
19:50Oh, I promise.
19:51You know about the Harmon murder?
19:53Well, on the night my father found the body, we were rowing home, and Riderhood suddenly
19:57came alongside us in his boat.
20:00He wanted to claim a share.
20:03They quarrelled.
20:04And he looked so evil that the thought came to me that perhaps he'd killed poor Mr. Harmon and left my father to find the body.
20:15And then I thought of other times when men, I, and women, too, had been found with terrible wounds and their poor drowned bodies.
20:23Could Riderhood have murdered them and purposely let my father find them?
20:27Oh, you poor deluded girl.
20:29Don't you see that if what you say is true, they're both of them in it together, Riderhood and your father.
20:33You don't know my father.
20:34He would never kill anybody.
20:36Oh, Lizzie, leave him.
20:37I want to take care of you.
20:39Don't throw away a chance of being respectable and happy.
20:43You're very kind, miss.
20:45But I can't leave him.
20:47If it's true that you say that people think the evil of him is going to need me more than ever.
20:50Well, I've done what I can.
20:54You must go your own way.
20:55You've made your own bed and you must lie in it, but tell your father one thing.
20:58He must not come here anymore.
20:59Oh, Miss Abbey, will you forbid him the one place where I know that he's safe?
21:02This public house has itself to look after as well as others.
21:05It can't run the risk of getting a bad name.
21:07I've forbidden the place to Riderhood and I've forbidden it to your father.
21:09Please, Miss Abbey.
21:10I'm not going to take it on myself to judge betwixt them.
21:13To me, they're both tarred with the same brush, Lizzie, and it's a dirty brush.
21:17That's all I know.
21:19Now, good night.
21:20Believe me, Miss Abbey, I'm truly grateful all the same.
21:26Grateful?
21:27Well, I can believe a good deal, so I'll try to believe that too.
21:30Good night, Miss Abbey.
21:45Poor Charlie.
21:50Poor boy.
22:05Oh, Charlie, you made me jump.
22:08You made me jump?
22:09What are you up to?
22:12What are you sitting there in the middle of the night counting money for?
22:15I'm telling you a fortune, Charlie.
22:18What's the money for?
22:20It's for you, Charlie.
22:23What do you mean?
22:25Charlie, I've made up my mind that you do better for yourself away from here.
22:28You're turning me out.
22:31You think there's not enough of the three of us and you want to get rid of me.
22:33You know, that's not true, Charlie.
22:35Don't mind what I said, Liz.
22:36I didn't mean it.
22:37I know you don't do it for my own good.
22:40But where am I to go, Liz?
22:42What do you want me to do?
22:44Listen to me carefully, Charlie.
22:46We both know this is no place for a boy like you.
22:49A clever boy.
22:51And in our hearts, we've both known that we'd have to part someday.
22:55But I know, and only I know, that there's a good reason why you should go now.
23:01At once.
23:03I've had your good clothes and a few things done up in a bundle for a long time now.
23:07They're in the locker above my bed.
23:09Don't cry, Liz.
23:10Don't cry.
23:10No.
23:11I didn't mean to.
23:12Now look, as soon as it's like, go to the school.
23:17Tell Mr. Headstone that we both agree that you're worth a good education,
23:20but that Father won't hear of it.
23:22Tell him that...
23:24And when you go there...
23:26I suppose that Mr. Headstone won't take me in, though.
23:29Oh, but he will take you in.
23:30He knows you'll be a credit to the school.
23:33Show him the clothes you've brought, and the money.
23:36And tell him I'll send more as soon as I can.
23:39Where can you get it, Liz?
23:40Well, those two gentlemen that came that night,
23:42they'll be giving Father something.
23:43I'll ask them to help if I can't...
23:44Don't you take anything from that chap who took me by the chin.
23:47All right, Charlie.
23:48I won't if you'd rather I didn't.
23:51There's one other thing.
23:53Always speak well of Father.
23:55I know that because he's got no learning himself,
23:57he's set against it in you.
23:58But you know nothing else bad about him.
24:01And Charlie,
24:02if you hear people talking,
24:05if you hear anything new,
24:06it won't be true.
24:10Remember that.
24:11It won't be true.
24:13There's something happened, Liz.
24:14I've nothing else to say now, Charlie,
24:16except
24:16be good,
24:19get learning,
24:21and remember sometimes
24:22the good times we had together.
24:24My darling little brook.
24:26I'll try this.
24:29Liz,
24:29do you still see your pictures in the fire?
24:31Oh, yes, sometimes.
24:34I see pictures of us when we were children
24:36sitting on the doorstep
24:36waiting for Father to come home.
24:38Yeah.
24:39And when it was cold,
24:40I used to creep under your shirt to keep warm.
24:42And when he came home,
24:43he'd put you to bed.
24:45And I'd sit by him for a while.
24:47And I remember that though his hand was heavy
24:49and his voice was rough,
24:52he was always gentle at home.
24:54You, you mean.
24:55He was never gentler than me.
24:56You were always his favourite.
24:58It's true, he loves me, Charlie.
24:59And I love him.
25:01And I'll stick by him
25:02and I'll look after him
25:03no matter what he does.
25:06What do you see about me in the fire now, Liz?
25:08I see you at school getting prizes.
25:11I see you getting better and better
25:13and becoming a master
25:14loved and respected by everyone.
25:16What else, Liz?
25:18Oh, I see you grown up
25:19and married with children of your own.
25:22And you will forget the old life.
25:24And us too, I expect.
25:27Never, never.
25:29Get some sleep now, Charlie.
25:31I'll wake you before it's light.
25:32Father won't be home before six.
25:34I won't forget this.
25:35I swear I won't.
25:37Go to bed now, Charlie.
25:39God bless and keep you.
25:41Good luck.
25:42Good luck.
25:55Good luck.
25:59Hello, Father.
26:13You must be frozen.
26:15So better follow I get you breakfast.
26:16It won't be long.
26:17I can do it, I can tell you.
26:21Where's that boy?
26:23Here's your tea, Father.
26:24There's a drop of brandy left.
26:26Put it in while I just turn the meat.
26:28Where's Charlie?
26:30It's ready now, Father.
26:32Here we are.
26:34Eat it while it's warm.
26:35And when you're finished, you'll sit by the fire and talk.
26:37Where's that boy?
26:40Begin eating, Father, and I'll tell you.
26:44Well?
26:45Well, it seems, Father, that Charlie's got quite a gift for learning.
26:49A natural young beggar.
26:51And that some or other, he's made shift to get himself some learning.
26:56Well?
26:56Well, knowing you've nothing to spare, not wanting to be a burden on you,
27:01he made up his mind to go and seek his fortune.
27:05Out of learning.
27:05He what?
27:06He needs no father to be angry.
27:07He went away this morning and he cried very much at going and he hoped he would forgive him.
27:11Gone, has he?
27:13His own father ain't good enough for him.
27:14Let him never come within sight of my eyes again, nor yet within reach of my arm.
27:21He's welcome to go.
27:24But let him never come back.
27:27Disowned his own father.
27:29Now I see why them two men on the river held away from me.
27:34Ah, they says.
27:35Here comes the man as ain't good enough for his own son.
27:37Father, don't I can't bear to see you with that knife in your hand?
27:39Put it down.
27:40Liz, whatever's come over you?
27:41Put it down, Father, because it looks horrible.
27:43Lizzie, what's the matter?
27:44You don't think as ever I'd strike you with a knife?
27:46No, Father, no, not me.
27:48But who are they?
27:48No one, Father, I know that.
27:50It's just that it looks...
27:51Lizzie, girl, what's the matter?
27:53Here, my girl.
27:55Lizzie.
27:58There, my Lizzie.
28:00There, my darling.
28:02No arm shall come to you.
28:04What's happened to us?
28:06Is there some deadly stick into me clothes?
28:08Father.
28:09There, my girl.
28:11Now, lie quiet.
28:11Now, lie quiet.
28:12No arm shall come.
28:13I'll go and get you a drop of brandy from old Abbey Park.
28:15Oh, Father, don't come there.
28:17Don't come there.
28:26Abbey, Miss Patterson, wake up.
28:28I want some brandy quick.
28:30Want will be your master.
28:31It's for Lizzie.
28:32She's ill.
28:33She can't get over me that way.
28:35She knows I said you were not to come here anymore,
28:37and I mean it.
28:38But, Miss Patterson, it's true.
28:39She is ill.
28:40Oh, what's been loosed on me?
28:47And who loosed it?
28:59Riderhood.
29:00And who.
29:02Let's go.
29:03All right.
29:04The End
29:34The End
