00:00To tell you the truth, Mr. Rokesmith, I've been so busy I haven't had time to turn your offer over.
00:12A terrible lot of papers seem to come my way since I've come into money and I can't make head nor tail of them.
00:17Well, if I were to enter your employer, Mr. Buffett, I would arrange your papers and so arrange them as to have them always in order for immediate reference.
00:23I'll tell you what, you see what you can make of these and I'll see what I can make of you.
00:27With pleasure. I will also keep an exact account of your expenditure, write letters under your direction, transact your business with people in your employer and so on.
00:37Now then, all these are estimates from builders, decorators, coachmakers, horse dealers and goldsmiths.
00:45Goldsmiths?
00:46And these are letters dealing with dates for Mr. Buffett's legal matters, no such matters.
00:50All in apple pie order. Now let's try a letter.
00:53Oh, to whom shall it be addressed, Mr. Buffett?
00:55Anyone. Yourself.
00:57Yes. Write a letter to yourself.
01:00What did he say he wanted to be?
01:01A secretary.
01:02I always thought that was a piece of furniture lined with green basin leather with a lot of little drawers in it.
01:07So did I. Then he said it was a sort of a steward.
01:09They only have those on ships, don't they?
01:11According to him, they have them anywhere.
01:14His hands are as clean as if he never touched ink at all.
01:19He hasn't made any blots. Shall I take him?
01:22Yes.
01:24Finished, Mr. Buffett?
01:25Read it.
01:25Mr. Buffett presents his compliments to Mr. John Rokesmith and begs to say that he has decided to give Mr. Rokesmith a trial in the capacity which he desires to fill.
01:37Mr. Buffett takes Mr. Rokesmith at his word in postponing for an indefinite period the consideration of a salary
01:41and relies on Mr. John Rokesmith's assurance that he will be faithful and serviceable.
01:46Mr. John Rokesmith will enter upon his duties immediately.
01:49Well now, Minoddy Nick, that is a good one.
01:51Teach me how he does it.
01:52I tell you, Nicky, if you don't close with Mr. Rokesmith now at once, if you go on a muddling yourself with things never made in a mint for you, you'll have apoplexy and you'll break my heart.
02:02Yeah, shake your hands and it, Rokesmith.
02:04Thank you, Mr. Buffett.
02:05That's it, now you too.
02:06Thank you, Mr. Buffett.
02:07There we are, old lady.
02:08Now, let's tell you a little more about our affairs.
02:11Mrs. Buffett and me have decided we're going in neck and crop for fashion.
02:15I rather gather that, sir, from your correspondence. A new house?
02:18Yeah, it's a spanker.
02:19My literary man mentioned a house to be sold and me and Mrs. Buffett went and bought it.
02:23An eminently aristocratic mansion, it was called.
02:26Well, my literary man dropped into a pretty piece of poetry about it. He's a dab at poetry.
02:30Er, how did it go, my dear?
02:34The gay, the gay and festive scene, the awls, the awls, a dazzling light.
02:39Astology.
02:40I knew you'd like it.
02:41But there's just one thing, Rokesmith.
02:43A literary man with a wooden leg is liable to be jealous.
02:45So I'll keep you in your department and him in it.
02:48Law, Nicky, what I say is the world's wide enough for all of us.
02:51So it is, my dear, we're not literary.
02:53Rokesmith, what do you say to living in the house?
02:56This house?
02:56No, no, I've got other plans for this house, in the new one.
02:59That shall be as you please, Mr. Buffett, and you know where I live at present.
03:02Well, suppose you keep as you are for the present, and we'll decide by and by.
03:05And you'll begin to take charge at once of all that's going on in the new house, will you?
03:09Most willingly. Will you give him the address?
03:11Yeah, it is.
03:13Now you're here and one of us, so to speak, would you like to see around the bower?
03:18Not very much.
03:20I've heard so much of its history.
03:22Come this way, Mr. Rokesmith.
03:23Armony Jail, they used to call it.
03:31Up here is where the old master slept.
03:33He died there, too.
03:34Just as it was for the son to see when he came home, poor lad.
03:42Didn't waste any money on extras, as you might say.
03:45I expect it was in this room that the son saw his father for the last time.
03:49He was only a child then.
03:51He was afraid of his father, poor Timmy little chap.
03:53Look.
03:54Here's what him and his sister measured themselves and wrote the names.
03:57Look, and both poor dears, dead and gone.
03:59Whatever happens to this houseman was take care of these names, old lady.
04:02They shan't be rubbed out in our time.
04:04Poor children.
04:06Well, now, just look out of this window.
04:09There's what made a fortune for the old governor.
04:12The small one's mined by rights.
04:14The others only come to me after we knew Mr. John wasn't coming back.
04:18Look, you have no instructions to give me about this place, Mr. Boffin?
04:21Not any, Rokesmith, no.
04:23Are you thinking of selling it?
04:24Certainly not.
04:25Me and Mrs. Boffin mean to keep it up as it stands.
04:28Well, seen all you want to, have you?
04:30Yes, thank you.
04:31And you'll look in tomorrow?
04:32Well, every day, of course.
04:33The sooner I can get you into your new house, the better you'll like it, I expect, sir.
04:36Well, I ain't in no morgue.
04:37The sooner the better, Mr. Rokesmith.
04:38Goodbye.
04:39I'm so glad you're coming.
04:40Goodbye, Mrs. Boffin.
04:41And thank you.
04:42Now, old lady, if I can make it easy with Silas Wegg, our affairs will be going fine and smooth.
04:50And we'll be as grand as grand.
04:52And that reminds me, there's a grand wedding on today.
04:54Silas Wegg told me, I'd just love to go and look at the dresses.
05:02And now, to end on a more serious note.
05:05I should like to thank my good friend Podsnap for acting as host on this, the happiest day of my life.
05:11For it was in this house that I first met my beloved wife, Sophronia.
05:16And it is to him, I know, we shall owe our lasting happiness.
05:23Oh, Mortimer.
05:25Of course, I'm absolutely worn out with excitement.
05:28But I adore weddings, don't you?
05:30Loathe them.
05:31Oh, naughty creature.
05:33You best man to dear Alfred Lammel.
05:35Only because he couldn't find anybody else.
05:37Oh, there's dear Mr. Twemlow, who gave the bride away.
05:40Well, only because they couldn't find anybody else, I assure you, Mrs. Veneering.
05:44Some more champagne, my dear Twemlow.
05:45Dear Mr. Podsnap, soon I dare say you'll be giving away darling Georgiana.
05:49Not yet, I hope.
05:50Plenty of time.
05:51Oh, Georgiana.
05:52Ah, Veneering, my dear fellow.
05:54Has any more been heard of the lucky legatees?
05:56Nothing more, except I'm told he's now called the Golden Dustman.
05:59I mentioned you some time ago, didn't I, that the young lady whose intended husband was murdered
06:04is the daughter of a clerk of mine.
06:07Yes, extraordinary thing.
06:08The first news arriving at your house, I mean, to young Lightwood here.
06:11I was there at the time.
06:12Anastasia tells me that these dust people have taken a marvellous house.
06:15And of all things, they've engaged a secretary.
06:19Where's the bride at home?
06:20Getting ready to go away, I suppose.
06:22They're so radiantly happy.
06:23Oh, it hasn't taken us long to find each other out.
06:27Do you mean to tell me or not?
06:28Tell you what?
06:28I married you, supposing you to be a man of property.
06:31Are you?
06:31No.
06:32Then you married me under false pretenses.
06:34Do you mean to tell me that you are a woman of property?
06:36No.
06:36Then you married me under false pretenses.
06:38I asked Veneering if you were rich, question for question.
06:40What made you suppose that I was rich?
06:42But you did, do you deny that you always presented yourself to me in that light?
06:45You must have asked someone, who was it?
06:46I asked the Veneering.
06:47Veneering, he knew as much of me as he knew of you, or indeed as anybody knows of him.
06:51I'll never forgive the Veneering for this.
06:53Neither shall I.
06:53You sought me out.
06:55Pretty figure I shall look when this is out.
06:57Am I not in the same position, tied to an adventurer?
06:59As I am, tied to a cheat.
07:01What will become of us?
07:02Oh, some form of understanding that will see us through.
07:04We can at least agree to keep it to ourselves.
07:06That's my first point.
07:06If it is possible.
07:07Well, we seem to have pretended well enough to each other up to now, do we not?
07:11And another thing.
07:11We owe the Veneerings a grudge, as indeed we owe every other person a grudge.
07:15We should like to see them taken in as we've been taken in.
07:18Agreed?
07:19Agreed?
07:19You know, Sophonia, you called me an adventurer, doesn't I?
07:22Well, in plain, unmitigated language, so too are you, my dear.
07:26I know I am.
07:27Yes, so are many people.
07:29So I say, as well as keeping our own secrets, let us work together on any schemes that'll
07:34bring us money.
07:34Agreed?
07:36Agreed.
07:36Yes, one other thing.
07:37You showed temper today, Mrs. Lammel.
07:39Don't be betrayed into doing it again, for I have a devil for temper myself.
07:43Now, shall we join the others?
07:45Yes?
07:46Yeah.
07:50Oh, one moment.
07:51I have an idea.
07:53Old Potsnap's daughter.
07:54An heiress.
07:55Precisely, an heiress.
07:56Make friends with her, my dearest.
07:57She might be very useful to us.
08:00Done.
08:02There.
08:03I wish we knew more about that man Hanford, Julius Hanford.
08:08I don't think he could help us much.
08:09Well, Lightwood thinks he knows something.
08:11Why did he turn up?
08:12That's so strange.
08:13I'm sure that nothing he could say could throw any light on this affair.
08:16Well, it's just what we don't know.
08:18I don't mean to leave any stone unturned till I find out who did that murder.
08:22And I'll be obliged if you'll go and see Lightwood and get him to do something about it.
08:26Well, we could put an advertisement in the newspaper.
08:28I'll do that.
08:30Brokesmith, I've noticed something about you.
08:33Every time I want you to go and see Lightwood, you make some excuse.
08:36Isn't that so?
08:37Well, it is true.
08:38I would rather not meet him.
08:39Have you any reason to dislike him?
08:41I don't know him.
08:42Then what is he?
08:43Sir, while I am in your employ, I would esteem it a very great favour
08:47if I might be excused from going between lawyer and client without urgent occasion.
08:51Does your objection go as far as writing to Mr Lightwood?
08:55No, not in the least, sir.
08:56Then perhaps you'll write him a line and say he's free to do what he likes
08:58in the matter of advertising for this man.
09:00I'll do it immediately, sir.
09:02And thank you for being so considerate.
09:04It's just that I have a disagreeable association with Mr Lightwood
09:08and would rather not meet him.
09:09It's not his fault.
09:10He doesn't even know my name.
09:12There's no more to be said.
09:14As soon as you've done, it'll be time for us all to go to Betty Higdon's
09:17over at Brentford.
09:18I hope Mrs Boffin can find a child she can love, sir.
09:21You think highly of Mrs Boffin, don't you, young man?
09:25It's very, very highly, Mr Boffin.
09:28Hmm.
09:47What is it, Sloppy?
09:48This is Mrs Higdon.
09:49Hello.
09:50Mrs Higdon?
09:51Yes, sir?
09:52Here are Mr and Mrs Boffin come to see you.
09:54Mr Milvey wrote to you about them, I think.
09:55So he did.
09:56Good day, sir and madam.
09:58I've got Sloppy to read the letter for me.
10:00I ain't much of a one at reading and writing.
10:03I can read my Bible, and I do love the newspaper.
10:06Sloppy is a beautiful reader, the newspaper.
10:09He do the police in different voices.
10:12Oh, Sloppy dried a bit.
10:13The gentle folks can't hear themselves speak.
10:16Is that the child in the cradle there?
10:18Yes, madam.
10:19This is little Johnny.
10:20Johnny, too.
10:21He's a pretty boy.
10:23Yes, and he's a dear, darling boy.
10:26He's my grandchild, ma'am.
10:28Are these his brother and sister?
10:29Tottles and toddles?
10:30Oh, dear, no.
10:31They're minders.
10:33Minders?
10:33Left to be minded, sir.
10:35I keep a minding school.
10:37I love children, and fourpence a week is fourpence.
10:40I can only take two on account of the mangle.
10:42And the boy?
10:43Sloppy.
10:44He's a love child.
10:46Found in the street.
10:48Parents never known.
10:50Brought up in...
10:51In the house.
10:53The poor house?
10:54You dislike even the mention of it.
10:56Dislike the mention of it?
10:58Kill me sooner than ever put me there.
11:01I've never begged,
11:03nor never had a penny of union money in my life.
11:06How's the lad work for you?
11:07Yes, and well, too.
11:08Is he called by his right name?
11:10Well, he ain't got a name of his old.
11:13I took him from that place,
11:14and I always understood he was called Sloppy,
11:17and long of him being found on a sloppy night.
11:19Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
11:21He seems an amiable enough fellow.
11:22Oh, bless you, sir.
11:23There's not a bit of him that's not amiable.
11:26Well, now, that little jolly.
11:27If you'll trust that child to me,
11:29she'll have the best of homes.
11:30The best of care.
11:31And please God, I'll be a true mother to him.
11:34I'm grateful, ma'am.
11:35Don't think I'm not.
11:37But I hope he won't take it ill,
11:39if I cling to him.
11:41He's the last living soul left me.
11:45There, there, don't you fret, Mrs. Higdon.
11:47There's no worry, you know.
11:48Take time to think it over, Mrs. Higdon.
11:50Oh, don't you fear me no more.
11:52I thought it over for good yesterday.
11:54I don't know what come over me just now.
11:56Well, then, you just take your time
11:58to get used to the idea.
11:59We want to make everybody happy, not dismal.
12:02Perhaps you'll let us know how used to begin to get
12:04and how it all goes on.
12:06Yes, sir.
12:07I'll send Sloppy as soon as I feel I can part with him.
12:10And this gentleman, Mr. Rokesmith,
12:12will pay for his trouble.
12:13And, Sloppy, whenever you come to my house,
12:15be sure you never go away
12:16without having had a good dinner
12:17of meat and vegetables and pudding.
12:19Thank you, ma'am.
12:20Thank you, sirs.
12:21And you must tell me what I can do for you, Betty, my friend.
12:24Oh, thank you all the same, ma'am.
12:25I want nothing for myself.
12:27I can work.
12:28I'm strong.
12:29I can walk 20 miles a day if I'm put to it.
12:32And I couldn't take anything from you.
12:34It'd be like selling the dear child.
12:38There is one thing.
12:40What is it?
12:42None of mine have been buried by the parish.
12:44Sewn into my gown.
12:46It's just enough to lay me in my grave.
12:48If you see that that money is rightly spent
12:52when my time comes,
12:53you'll be doing all for me
12:56that my heart is set upon.
12:58You have my word.
13:00And mine.
13:00God bless you, my dear.
13:02And you, sir.
13:03Sloppy.
13:04Show the lady and gentleman out.
13:06Johnny.
13:14Well, there you are, Mr. Wig.
13:15I'm glad to be able to restore it to the source
13:17where it, er, flowered, so to speak.
13:20Oh, thank ye.
13:21And now this affair is concluded,
13:22I may say in a friendly way
13:24that I have my doubts whether
13:25if I'd consulted a lawyer
13:27you could have held this article back from me.
13:28Oh, do you think so?
13:30I bought you.
13:30You can't buy human flesh and blood in this country, sir.
13:33Not alive, you can't.
13:34No.
13:35Then query bone as a legal point.
13:38I tell you, Mr. Wig,
13:39I only put it as a case.
13:40Wish yourself a drink and sit down.
13:43And then I'd remind you,
13:44it was me that pointed out to you
13:46that this old man of yours
13:47might be worth following up.
13:49And now look at you.
13:51Installed in this house
13:52with money to burn.
13:54There ain't no gold
13:54without its alloy, Mr. Venus.
13:57Even here, Mr. Wig,
13:58there's mystery, Mr. Venus.
14:00Mystery.
14:00I don't like it.
14:02I don't like to have my lives
14:03knocked out of former inhabitants of this house
14:05and not only done it.
14:06Oh.
14:07Might you, er...
14:08Might you have any suspicions?
14:10There are no profits upon it.
14:12He has an enormous fortune
14:13drops from the clouds
14:14upon somebody who shall be nameless.
14:16He has a weekly allowance.
14:17And he has a certain weight of gold
14:19drops upon me.
14:19And which is the better man?
14:21Not him, Missouri,
14:21shall be nameless.
14:23Have you ever been here before, Mr. Venus?
14:25Well, never more than just a peek through the gate.
14:27Oh, I'm surprised you,
14:28Mr. Friend of the old man.
14:29I never said so.
14:31Pretty secret he was.
14:33Oh, so you found him secret, did you?
14:35The kind of man as he might hide things
14:37as well as find them.
14:38In them dust mounds, you mean?
14:39I might, and I might not.
14:42Now, when he was searching
14:42for treasure in them mounds,
14:43do you suppose he began
14:44at the top or the bottom?
14:45I mean, did he prod, as it were,
14:47or did he scoop?
14:49Why do you want to know, Mr. Wig?
14:50Well, living on mysterious premises,
14:51one likes to know
14:52if the former over this edifice
14:54used them mounds as hiding places.
14:56Which he very well might.
14:57What sort of things do you suppose
14:59such an individual might hide?
15:01Oh, money, valuables, papers, maybe.
15:04Papers, Mr. Venus?
15:05Well, seeing that the old gentleman
15:06was good at cutting off
15:07some near relation,
15:08I just thought he might have made
15:09a good many wills and codicils.
15:11Mr. Venus, I'm about to propose
15:12a friendly move.
15:14It ain't because I object
15:14to being passed over as a stranger
15:16with his more than a doubtful character.
15:18It ain't for the sake of making money.
15:20Though money is ever welcome.
15:22It is in the cause of right.
15:23You see the friendly move, sir?
15:27The move?
15:28Well, until you've pointed it out, Mr. Wig,
15:29I can't say whether I do or I do not.
15:31If there is anything to be found
15:33in them mounds,
15:33let us make the friendly move
15:35by looking for it together
15:36and agreeing to share the profits from it
15:38equally between us
15:39in the cause of right.
15:41Well, now, suppose something was
15:43unburied from them mounds, Mr. Wig.
15:45I suppose it would be kept a secret
15:46by you as well as by me.
15:48Is that it, Mr. Wig?
15:48Oh, well, that would depend on what it was.
15:50Say it was money or plate or jewellery.
15:52It would be as much ours
15:53as anybody else's.
15:54Yes, but suppose it was papers.
15:56Well, according to what they were,
15:57we should offer them
15:57to the parties most interested.
15:59In the cause of right, Mr. Wig?
16:01Always, Mr. Venus.
16:02Now, suppose you and me
16:03was in this friendly move together
16:04and suppose by the delicate touch
16:07of your hands
16:08you could explore their mounds
16:09so as not to be noticed, I mean.
16:11I couldn't do it.
16:12Not with just your leg of mine.
16:14Not being easy on ladders and such.
16:15But you, used to handling
16:17bones and skin and such
16:19and able to piece
16:20little bits of things together.
16:22Oh, I see you've tried yourself, Mr. Wig,
16:23and found it difficult.
16:25Oh, well, I can hardly say
16:25I've tried it, Mr. Venus.
16:26Just, just skinned it.
16:28And you found nothing but difficulties.
16:30What do you say, Mr. Venus?
16:36If I wasn't soured
16:38the answer would be no.
16:42But being soured
16:43and driven to our reckless madness
16:46and desperation,
16:48I suppose it's yes.
16:50Fellow creature,
16:51partner in a friendly move.
16:53Let us go and look at their mounds
16:55by the light of the moon.
16:58You never met my respected father,
17:00did you?
17:01Funny, old boy.
17:02Often said so.
17:03What's he done that's so funny?
17:04My respected father,
17:05or MRF for short,
17:07has a habit of disposing
17:08of his children.
17:09The eldest naturally
17:09inherits the family embarrassments.
17:11When the next was born,
17:12this, said MRF,
17:13is a little pillar of the church.
17:14What an absurd fellow
17:15you are, Eugene.
17:16My third brother
17:17no sooner appeared
17:18than he was destined
17:18to be a navigator.
17:19When I turned up,
17:20he decided I should be a barrister.
17:22None of us are any good.
17:23This was long ago.
17:24Ah, but he's still
17:25at the same old game.
17:26Only this time
17:27it isn't so amusing.
17:28Why, what's he done?
17:29He's decided to marry me off.
17:30Money?
17:31Of course.
17:32Seems sensible to me.
17:33My dear Mortimer,
17:34anything to carry out
17:35MRF's arrangements
17:36except matrimony,
17:37could I possibly support it?
17:39I, that am so constantly
17:40and fatally bored.
17:45Ah, it's misty.
17:46Looks as if the churchyard
17:47ghosts are rising.
17:50Ah, one of the ghosts
17:51appears to be walking.
17:53Lost his way, perhaps,
17:54and is coming here
17:54to be directed.
17:55Don't change the subject.
17:56Do you know the lady?
17:57Not in the least.
17:58Hadn't you better see her?
17:59Could I possibly go
18:00labeled, eligible,
18:01or on view
18:02and meet the lady
18:02similarly labeled?
18:03No, for once
18:04the prophetic utterances
18:05of MRF
18:06must remain unfulfilled.
18:10Who the devil are you?
18:11I'll stop on, governess.
18:13If I want to you
18:13be lawyer, Lightwood.
18:15One of us is.
18:16Tickle of business.
18:17What is it?
18:18Governess, both.
18:19I'm a man
18:20who gets me living
18:21by the sweat of me brow.
18:23Not to risk being done
18:24out of the sweat of me brow
18:25I should wish
18:25to be swore in.
18:26I'm not a swearer in.
18:28I want to make
18:29an Alfred David.
18:30You mean an affidavit?
18:31I mean an Alfred David.
18:33And if I can't be swore in
18:34I must be took down.
18:35You'll be sworn out
18:36if you don't soon
18:36come to the point.
18:37What is your business?
18:38It's about a 10,000 pound reward.
18:40It's about murder.
18:41That's what it's about.
18:42And I want to be
18:42took down in ink.
18:44Sit down.
18:45Will you have a glass of wine?
18:47Yes, I will.
18:48And I don't deceive you, governess.
18:49What's your name?
18:51Roger Roderud.
18:52Dwelling place?
18:53Longass Owl.
18:54Calling?
18:57Uh,
18:58motorcycle character.
19:00Ever been in trouble?
19:01Once.
19:01What a kind of a seaman's pocket.
19:03Proceed.
19:04I'll give information
19:05that the man
19:06that's done the Armand murder
19:07is Gavarexham.
19:09The man that's found the body.
19:11Tell us on what grounds
19:11you make this accusation.
19:13On the ground
19:13that I was his partner
19:14and suspected him
19:15for many a long day
19:16and many a dark night.
19:17I broke the partnership
19:18because I've seen the danger.
19:19His daughter will tell you
19:20another story
19:21but he done it all right
19:21and I swear to it.
19:22All this is nothing.
19:23Nothing?
19:23Nothing.
19:24It's no more than suspicion.
19:25What else have you got to say?
19:26Only this brother George, a dragon.
19:28I know Gavarexham done this, Steve,
19:30because he told me.
19:31There.
19:32Will you take that down in ink?
19:34Where did he tell you this
19:35and when?
19:36Outside the pub
19:37the night he picked up the body.
19:38Me came out first
19:39when I came out
19:40to find him waiting for me.
19:41Rogie says.
19:42They call me.
19:44That's short for Roger.
19:45Never mind that.
19:46Rogie says.
19:48Words passed
19:48trixt us tonight.
19:49Wish they did.
19:50Ask his daughter.
19:51They did, I says.
19:52But you've got suspicions,
19:53he says.
19:55The escape for, I says.
19:56I had to.
19:56What's more, I says.
19:57I still have.
19:58Then he fell a shaking.
20:00And he says.
20:01Of what?
20:03Of foul play, I says.
20:06Of what's foul play, Rogie says.
20:08I done it for his money, he says.
20:10Don't betray me.
20:11Them were his very words.
20:13You must have had this
20:14on your mind
20:14a very long time.
20:17Ages.
20:18When all that stir was made
20:19and a government reward
20:20was offered,
20:20you didn't come forward then?
20:21No, the stakes
20:22weren't high enough.
20:23Tell the governor
20:24it's an ale on here.
20:25Ten thousand pound
20:26a pot of money.
20:27Why didn't I?
20:28In a pot it is.
20:29Offer the inferior reward
20:30it is.
20:30And I mean to have it.
20:34The one government
20:35took this very night.
20:37Now.
20:39I suppose I must go
20:40to the police
20:40with this fellow.
20:41Do you believe him?
20:42I believe him to be
20:42a thoroughgoing rascal.
20:43But he may be telling the truth
20:44even if it is
20:45for his own purposes.
20:46Will you come with me, Eugene?
20:47Of course.
20:48Right, Hood,
20:48you go on to the police station
20:49we will follow.
20:51You do know
20:52where the police station is,
20:52I suppose?
20:53Yes, I do.
20:54Well, I know where the pub is
20:55and I'll show you that.
20:56Well, I know where Geplexum's house is
20:57and I'll show you that.
20:58Then you'll see
20:59if I'm a lawyer or not.
21:00You follow me, governors both.
21:05Is the pub?
21:06See if it ain't.
21:06This is Geplexum's house.
21:18See if it ain't.
21:19Where is Hexum?
21:21Out in the river, most lonely.
21:22Come on, governor.
21:23So that's the door, sir.
21:30Eugene, come along, man.
21:37Put those away with you.
21:41Well, Ryder Hood,
21:42what have you been up to?
21:43Come to make a statement.
21:45I see gentlemen.
21:46Wouldn't it be so good
21:46as to look at these nets?
21:47Yes, ma'am.
21:48You don't have a pinch of
21:49snuff about you, dear?
21:51I'm afraid not.
21:52Good day.
21:54You know what's written here?
21:55Oh, I know well enough.
21:56Is this information correct?
21:57As correct as I am.
21:58Can't say more nephrine.
22:00Well, I'll take this man myself, sir.
22:02Is he at home?
22:03Where is he?
22:04Down in the river, most likely.
22:05I'll find him there.
22:06Now, you be careful.
22:07You mustn't think we're after him.
22:08If what you say is true,
22:09he mustn't slip through our fingers.
22:11We must not look like business.
22:12What if I push out
22:13and have a look round?
22:14I know his ways
22:15and where he's like to be
22:15at such a time of time.
22:16All right, then.
22:17I'll meet you down
22:18at the jetty shortly.
22:19I'll find him.
22:20Be up here.
22:22What do you think
22:23of this information, Inspector?
22:24Well, if his story's true, sir,
22:25both men are in it.
22:26The two Ryder Hood's
22:27the one to inform
22:28to save his skin
22:29and get the money.
22:30If you make an arrest tonight...
22:31Which I mean to.
22:32Can it be done
22:32away from his daughter?
22:34It should be done, gentlemen,
22:35if it can be done
22:35conveniently.
22:36I prefer that, too.
22:37I have no desire
22:38to cause any distress
22:39in that quarter.
22:39As a matter of fact,
22:40I'm very fond of that quarter
22:42and very sorry for her.
22:43There was a boy
22:44in that quarter.
22:45Is he still there?
22:46No, sir.
22:46Gone off on his own.
22:47Bit of a scholar, they say.
22:48Stayed with Mr. Headstone,
22:49a schoolmaster,
22:50I believe, somewhere away.
22:51Then she'll be alone, miss.
22:53Yes, sir.
22:54Quite alone.
22:55Well, it's cold night, gentlemen.
22:57I suggest you wait
22:57for me at the Jolly Fellowships.
22:59Do you know it?
22:59Yes.
22:59Well, I'll get down to the jetty.
23:01No, I tell you what.
23:02I'll walk with you
23:03and mark the spot
23:03and then meet you later.
23:05At the cosy.
23:05At the cosy.
23:06Aye, sir.
23:09Oh, this is it, sir.
23:15Oh.
23:16Oh, I think I'll know it.
23:18Most of them have two lamps.
23:19This only has one.
23:20Well, I'll be under the lee
23:21of that hauled-up boat there.
23:23Very good.
23:24I'll get him at both, sir,
23:24in case he comes in early.
23:25But I don't expect him to, sir.
23:26Don't hurry.
23:27Oh, sir.
23:39Father, is that you?
23:50Did you call?
24:01How many of you have
24:02checked in, shall we?
24:03I've invented it twice, my dear,
24:04and I'm making so bold
24:05as to ask for another.
24:06Well, that's the last.
24:07Three-jean limit
24:08and well you know it.
24:09Good evening, sir.
24:12Is it a long way
24:12you've been the devil over time?
24:14If the real man
24:15feels as guilty as I do,
24:16he's remarkably uncomfortable.
24:18Ah, give me some of that punch.
24:21This is becoming grim, Mortimer.
24:23I don't like it.
24:24Nor do I.
24:28That lonely girl
24:29sitting by the firelight
24:30waiting there.
24:31I feel like the combination
24:32of a traitor
24:33and a pickpocket
24:34when I think I...
24:34I know.
24:35Oh, tastes like
24:40the wash of the river.
24:41Ah, it's got cold.
24:42Look, sit down
24:42and compose yourself.
24:43No, I feel restless.
24:44Let's get out.
24:44Come on.
24:44I'll be in.
24:47And next time, Mortimer,
24:48we'll commit the crime
24:49instead of taking the criminal.
24:50Is the inspector at home?
25:09Ah, yeah, yeah, I am, sir.
25:12Anything happened?
25:12Well, the daughter's been out
25:13thinking she heard him go,
25:15unless it was a sign
25:16to keep him away.
25:17Ah, that must be right over now.
25:21Well?
25:22Blessed if I can make this out.
25:23Have you seen him?
25:24No, but I've seen his boat.
25:25What, empty?
25:26Yeah, and drove in tight
25:27between two barges.
25:28And what's more,
25:29he's in luck again.
25:30What do you mean, in luck?
25:31Gaffer's boat,
25:32gaffer in luck,
25:32and yet no gaffer.
25:34It was me as I had this here
25:35job in hand.
25:36Blessed if I wouldn't take
25:36all of his girl at any rate.
25:37Well, fortunately, you haven't.
25:38Poor right town of government
25:39never said I had.
25:40Be quiet, you would of us.
25:40Nah, then, nah, then.
25:41Did you make that boat fast?
25:42It's fast enough.
25:43You come and see.
25:44Right.
26:03Yeah, that's good.
26:23Yeah, that's his boat all right.
26:24I know it well.
26:25There's the bloke from Stout.
26:27And look,
26:28you see a line?
26:29All talk.
26:30Didn't I tell you
26:31he was in luck again?
26:32Ah, give me that lamp, sir.
26:34Pull it in, Rider Hood.
26:35In my car.
26:37I'll try to fall.
26:38Stuck fast.
26:40I mean to have it.
26:44You take the lamp.
26:46And the boat as well.
26:48Take care.
26:50You'll disfigure.
26:51Perhaps pull asunder.
26:55Ah, thought it would.
26:57Now, come on.
26:57Give me a spare scowls.
27:00I'll come with you.
27:01Right, sir.
27:03You've had more practice of this kind of job than I have.
27:27You've had more practice of this kind of work.
27:31You've had more practice of this kind of work.
27:33.
27:43Pocky the lord, he's done me.
27:45It's him.
27:46It's gaffer.
