00:00:13he said he was a member of parliament and so i trusted him he told me he wished me to
00:00:19meet
00:00:20another member his member for love he locked the door i pleaded for my maidenhood but
00:00:28the words are commonplace but observe the frontispiece show them more
00:00:41the execution of the member for love hmm the delicate rendering of the crimson tip
00:00:54done after borrow very rare i had it as a young man on a stall in liverpool thank you
00:01:01for a shilling i would not part with it now for 50 pounds
00:01:10but having slipped the bolt of the door a curator of poisons so my uncle described himself to me
00:01:18i was 12 years old when he began inoculating me with poison grain by grain scruple by scruple
00:01:25so i should be immune to what i read be his librarian and when he lost his sight his eyes
00:01:34so they came together the romance may have been somewhat unusual but that gave it all the charm
00:01:41of the unexpected and there as the red sun tinges the sky and the chatter of birds heralds the coming
00:01:50night we must leave them
00:02:03you don't care for your uncle's subjects
00:02:06i'm a secretary it's a matter of total indifference to me
00:02:10i find it rather curious to find a lady so cool and unmoved by something designed to um
00:02:18stir the emotions
00:02:20most ladies in those books and paintings seem to me to be singularly unmoved by it
00:02:28you are very uncommon miss lily
00:02:31so i understand sir
00:02:36i dislike to you
00:02:37do credit for your fine connection
00:02:40oh
00:02:41oh
00:02:43i
00:03:10Miss Lily.
00:03:32I know nothing of what I read from those books, sir.
00:03:34I've not come for that, Miss Lily.
00:03:37You can get that many street corner.
00:03:39I'm here to help you.
00:03:41How much do you think you receive when you marry?
00:03:45A few hundred.
00:03:47Forty thousand pounds.
00:03:49Who told you such nonsense?
00:03:51What trick?
00:03:52Hear the talk of the shady bookshops in London and Paris.
00:03:55Your readings, and the favors men imagine follow them.
00:04:01Your uncle is a villain, Miss Lily.
00:04:04And you are not.
00:04:05I came here to seduce you.
00:04:10Secure your fortune.
00:04:14But I saw what life has made of you, and I knew it wouldn't work.
00:04:17To a woman like you, it would be an insult.
00:04:24Instead, I want to free you.
00:04:28You're very gallant, Mr. Evers.
00:04:31Suppose I don't care to be freed.
00:04:33I think you long for it.
00:04:38Go, please.
00:04:39Go.
00:04:54Good afternoon, Miss Lily.
00:04:56Good afternoon, Mr. Evers.
00:04:59Will you marry me?
00:05:01How dare you?
00:05:05He's lively today, isn't he, Mr. Evers?
00:05:07Not as lively as me, Charles.
00:05:15I swear I will not touch you after the ceremony.
00:05:18We will go our separate ways.
00:05:19Why would you do such a thing?
00:05:21For half your fortune.
00:05:28I tell him his idea is nonsense.
00:05:31My uncle would pursue me.
00:05:33Not if he thinks you are in the madhouse, he whispers.
00:05:37But it would not be me who is locked up.
00:05:40His plan is to install a new maid, a compliant chaperone, a thief who will think she is cheating me.
00:05:51Instead, we will cheat her.
00:05:53She will take with her into the madhouse all the taint of my mother's madness, my uncle's filth, my very
00:06:00name.
00:06:02He is right.
00:06:05I would be free.
00:06:08I return to London in three days.
00:06:10I must secure the maid when I go back.
00:06:12We'll never have this chance again, will you?
00:06:15No.
00:06:16It would be foul, putting her girl in the madhouse.
00:06:19The girl's despicable, a thief.
00:06:22She would do it to you.
00:06:30My uncle will be here at any moment.
00:06:36You must not open that.
00:06:38You belong out there.
00:06:41Not locked up here with this filth.
00:06:52Go.
00:06:59There was an obstacle to Mr. Rivers' plan.
00:07:02My maid, Agnes.
00:07:06The way he painted that fruit, miss, you could eat it.
00:07:10He has an eye for it.
00:07:12And for you, miss.
00:07:15Oh!
00:07:16Ah!
00:07:18Are you all right, Miss Lily?
00:07:19Oh, I think she may have twisted her ankle, sir.
00:07:21Really, Agnes, I have not.
00:07:23Oh, well, we must take no chance of that, Miss Lily.
00:07:25It's a treacherous ground here.
00:07:27Allow me to assist you.
00:07:47I cannot just dismiss Agnes.
00:07:51Leave it to me.
00:08:01Agnes, every time I looked into her eyes, I was thinking of you.
00:08:05Okay, see if it's yours.
00:08:12Mr. Wayne.
00:08:13Miss Wayne!
00:08:16Miss Wayne!
00:08:26I was shaken by what we had done to Agnes.
00:08:30But my uncle had trained me too well to feel it for long.
00:08:34Mr. Rivers returned to London,
00:08:38recommending the new maid,
00:08:39whose character was as false as her curtsy.
00:08:45Miss Wayne.
00:08:45Miss Wayne.
00:08:46Miss Wayne.
00:09:02Here is the evil little fingersmith
00:09:04who is going to make us rich.
00:09:07Remember,
00:09:08she has to become you,
00:09:10and you her.
00:09:12You have one month until I return.
00:09:18Is it right, Miss?
00:09:21Very satisfactory.
00:09:28She has come to Briar to swallow me up,
00:09:31like a clutch of eggs.
00:09:46What do London ladies do this time of day?
00:09:49Make visits
00:09:50to other ladies,
00:09:52like you, Miss?
00:09:53Ladies like me?
00:09:56There are no ladies like me.
00:10:19But I grew used to her.
00:10:21To her life.
00:10:22Her warmth.
00:10:24She was not the gullible girl
00:10:26of a villainous plot.
00:10:28But a girl with a history.
00:10:30With hates and likings.
00:10:34Yet to escape from Briar,
00:10:36I must despise her.
00:10:39Must deceive her.
00:10:45Miss.
00:10:51Miss.
00:10:52Miss.
00:11:09Miss.
00:11:09Miss.
00:11:12Miss.
00:11:13Miss.
00:11:13Miss.
00:11:16Miss.
00:11:17Miss.
00:11:18Miss.
00:11:19Miss.
00:11:20Miss.
00:11:20Miss.
00:11:21Miss.
00:11:21Miss.
00:11:21Miss.
00:11:22Miss.
00:11:23Miss.
00:11:25Miss.
00:11:27Miss.
00:11:28I want you to have that.
00:11:33Remus, but this is your best dress.
00:11:35I want to show Mr. Rivers that.
00:11:38That I do so much approve of you.
00:11:41Of his choice.
00:11:43Oh, Miss.
00:11:46That's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me.
00:11:48Really, I can't.
00:11:49I can't, really, Sue.
00:11:54Miss.
00:12:06She looked so beautiful.
00:12:12I had to keep telling myself over and over again what she planned to do to me.
00:12:17To go on.
00:12:20Oh, my goodness, Miss.
00:12:24I look like a real lady.
00:12:32She changed even my uncle's books for me.
00:12:35I thought them did.
00:12:39The words became suddenly alive.
00:12:42Full of meaning.
00:12:43Hmm.
00:12:55Mm.
00:12:57Mm.
00:12:59Mm.
00:13:00Mm.
00:13:08Mm.
00:13:33She must think we love one another.
00:13:37God damn it, Lord.
00:13:39There's another hour gone.
00:13:42In two days, I will leave, and I will never see you again.
00:13:55Wake up.
00:13:57She'll burn.
00:13:58Shh.
00:13:59Shh.
00:14:11Oh.
00:14:52Let go of me.
00:14:54I've lost heart for this.
00:14:55Oh, I've lost it to a wretched little finger smear.
00:14:58Let me.
00:15:01She'd laugh in your face if she knew.
00:15:04If I told her.
00:15:06You mustn't.
00:15:09I agree.
00:15:13Do you want to stay here forever?
00:15:16Appear to love me.
00:15:19Marry me.
00:15:21I can't.
00:15:23Maud!
00:15:27Miss Maud!
00:15:30Miss Maud!
00:15:44She's coming.
00:15:47She's coming.
00:16:00Miss Maud!
00:16:03Miss Maud!
00:16:04Miss Maud!
00:16:05Miss Maud!
00:16:07Miss Maud!
00:16:07Miss Maud!
00:16:07Miss Maud!
00:16:08Miss Maud!
00:16:09Miss Maud!
00:16:10Miss Maud!
00:16:12Miss Maud!
00:16:16Miss Maud!
00:16:50Tell me, tell me away, tell me on her wedding night, what must a wife do?
00:17:17Tell me, tell me.
00:17:18Tell me, tell me.
00:17:21Tell me, tell me.
00:17:23Tell me, tell me.
00:17:28Tell me, tell me.
00:17:31Tell me, tell me.
00:17:35Tell me, tell me.
00:18:04Tell me, tell me.
00:18:05Tell me.
00:18:08Tell me.
00:18:19Tell me.
00:18:22Tell me.
00:18:53Tell me, tell me.
00:19:27Tell me, tell me.
00:19:36Tell me, tell me.
00:19:58Tell me, tell me, tell me.
00:20:25Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me.
00:20:35Are you by any chance, are you by any chance bleeding to save me the pain?
00:20:39Are you by any chance bleeding to save me the pain?
00:20:40Do you mean to insult me in every possible way?
00:20:48hold out the sheet, hold out the seat, hold out the sheet.
00:21:15Sit down here, Susan.
00:21:22Miss Smith, were you ever a maid with Lady Stoneleigh of Mayfair?
00:21:28No, sir.
00:21:30That's one of poor Mrs. Rivers' fancies.
00:21:33Ever since her wedding night, she's made up these stories.
00:21:37Fiction.
00:21:38Yes, yes.
00:21:41Does she read books?
00:21:43Her passion is books.
00:21:45Well, there you have it, Graves.
00:21:46The overexposure of women to literature breeds unnatural fancies.
00:21:51Indeed.
00:21:51Unnatural?
00:21:52Oh, sir, you don't know the worst of it.
00:21:57It's not your shame, Susan, your guilt.
00:22:00You did nothing to invite the gross attentions my wife and her madness tried to force on you.
00:22:06Is this true?
00:22:09These tears creep themselves.
00:22:12Come, Susan.
00:22:14You're not to blame.
00:22:17I'm so sorry you were exposed to such horrible things.
00:22:37Speak to him, you speak.
00:22:40I'm my own poor mistress.
00:22:52My heart was breaking.
00:23:05That is my story.
00:23:07That is what brought me here.
00:23:10You were very convincing, Maud.
00:23:12Don't speak to me or I shall kill you.
00:23:16I have betrayed her.
00:23:19I have betrayed her.
00:23:44I knew it.
00:23:45Hold her steady, man.
00:23:46She may put out her joints.
00:23:49I will not have you lying here, Mrs. Rivers.
00:24:00You can choke yourself when it's no business of ours.
00:24:03Chew your tongue off if you like.
00:24:05We prefer them quiet here.
00:24:14Welcome to London.
00:24:15Welcome to London.
00:24:53Are we here?
00:24:54Are we here?
00:24:54Is this our house?
00:25:01I thought for a moment that was the Briar Bell.
00:25:04We're near the river.
00:25:05Chelsea.
00:25:06Not quite.
00:25:15Where are we?
00:25:16Come on, or I shall leave you here.
00:25:20We cannot live grandly, Maud, until we have your money.
00:25:23We must wait for the lawyer to release it.
00:25:26Do you want to stay out of here and freeze?
00:25:28Come on, get up.
00:25:41Mr. Reeves.
00:25:45Mrs. Maud Rivers.
00:25:47Very pleased to meet you, Mrs. Rivers.
00:25:49Do come in.
00:25:50Make yourself at home.
00:25:55Can you manage a better night than this, Mr. Reeves?
00:25:57Oh, this is a very good night, gentlemen.
00:26:01A very good night.
00:26:03Indeed.
00:26:04Let me take the lady's cloak.
00:26:06Oh.
00:26:08I'll do a big pardon.
00:26:09Who's she?
00:26:12How much are you going to pop that for, Mr. Reeves?
00:26:15Richard.
00:26:16Richard.
00:26:17Richard.
00:26:49Good boy.
00:26:59Marry a miss.
00:27:01Mr. Rivers loves you.
00:27:04Mr. Rivers loves you.
00:27:10What kept me alive was the thought that Mrs. Satsby would find me.
00:27:15And then I would find Maud and kill her.
00:27:19She lived here.
00:27:21Sue, didn't she?
00:27:24Will you stop touching me?
00:27:26What a fool I've been.
00:27:28What an idiot.
00:27:30This is Sue's house of thieves, isn't it?
00:27:32Honest thieves, dear.
00:27:36Get me a cab.
00:27:37Handsome or hackney.
00:27:38Don't you dare talk to me like that.
00:27:40Oh, she's got a dander, ain't she?
00:27:42If you don't get me a cab, I shall walk.
00:27:45I shall find a policeman.
00:27:47Never there when you want them, my dear.
00:27:49Not in this fog.
00:27:51Come on.
00:27:56John.
00:27:56Use the bag.
00:27:57Gentlemen.
00:27:58Gentlemen, throw it.
00:27:59Throw it.
00:28:06That's enough.
00:28:09That's enough.
00:28:11Give me a hand.
00:28:12Come on.
00:28:15Come on.
00:28:19Get off.
00:28:20That's enough.
00:28:22That's enough.
00:28:23I will kill your baby. I have come too far for, for this. John. I mean it. I will. Get
00:28:36me a cab. I will do it. My dear, I've been caring for unwanted babies for years. The
00:28:47moment I'm looking after. Seven babies. Now you can make it six if you like, or five. No
00:28:56one would miss them. Come on. Seek the fire, John. Make some tea dainty. Strengthen it up
00:29:14a bit. Oh, go on. You hit the mark there, Betty. My poor hands have suffered so much
00:29:21recently. Mrs. Frobisher. Mrs. Frobisher. Do you want the curb? Where are you from?
00:29:34Borough. I'm a little out of touch. And the season only just beginning. Are you out?
00:29:39No, I ain't. So young. I'm very much in. In. That is the first true word I've heard
00:29:50you say, Mrs. Rivers. In. In. She's in. Keep telling the truth like that, Mrs. Rivers,
00:29:58you may well be out. Before the end of the season. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In. In.
00:30:11In. In. I couldn't bear to wake you, dear. Feed the babies upstairs.
00:30:28Dainty. Now, come on. Oh, come on, now. I can see you're a spirited girl, but you can't imagine we
00:30:36mean you any harm.
00:30:37I can't imagine you mean me any kind of good when you insist on keeping me here when I so
00:30:42clearly
00:30:43wish to leave. Just hear the grammar in that, Mr. Ibs. Here, let me take your glove.
00:30:53Her uncle taught her to be very particular about her fingers. Made you read a lot of filthy French books.
00:31:02Did he touch you, dear, where he oughtn't? Well, never mind. Better your home than a stranger, I always say.
00:31:09I'll get you a nice cup of tea.
00:31:14You plan to kill me, don't you? It would mean nothing to me, but she would not allow it. What
00:31:18has she got to do with this?
00:31:19She sent me to Briar. This is her plan. She controls everything.
00:31:24How did she know about my fortune? From some servant.
00:31:33From her?
00:31:41You're liars. You're cheats. How could you know my mother? I was born in an asylum.
00:31:48Dear, oh, dear.
00:31:52We're not going to put that together again, now, are we?
00:31:56No, you weren't born in the asylum, dear.
00:31:59You was born here.
00:32:02Marianne, that was the lady's name, wasn't it, dear?
00:32:06She ran away from Briar, just like you did. Only her gentleman didn't do the decent thing, not like your
00:32:11husband.
00:32:12She got my name from a woman in the borough that did girls and their complaints.
00:32:17Did she have a complaint, Mr. Ribbs?
00:32:19Too far gone to get rid of the poor creature.
00:32:21She was terrified, poor lamb, as her father and brother, your Uncle Lily, they was after her.
00:32:28So I made up a bed in front of the fire, like I did for you.
00:32:32And she had her baby right here.
00:32:35Oh, how Marianne loved her little baby girl.
00:32:42Oh, poor little scrap.
00:32:46Then we heard it, didn't we?
00:32:48The carriage.
00:32:49Your Uncle had found her.
00:32:50They was hammering at the door.
00:32:52And Marianne, she was sobbing.
00:32:54I must name her.
00:32:56I must.
00:32:57But not the name like the one I've been cursed with, but a plain name.
00:33:00I shall call her...
00:33:02Lord Susan.
00:33:07This card is my witness.
00:33:10She cried.
00:33:12I don't want to put my baby through what I've been through.
00:33:16Take my baby, Susan.
00:33:17And bring her up to yourself, Mrs. Sucksby.
00:33:20Poor and honest.
00:33:22She begged and pleaded and would have taken her heart of stone to refuse herself.
00:33:28So before Mr. Ribbs opened the door...
00:33:36I gave her the baby that I was holding, because she was born on the same day.
00:33:47Take her quick, I said, so your brother thinks she's yours.
00:33:52She has the name of a lady after all.
00:33:56Her name is Maud.
00:34:16My name is Ethel.
00:34:19My name is...
00:34:22You must believe me.
00:34:26Susan.
00:34:30Susan.
00:34:31I don't believe you.
00:34:38That's a lot of comfort, Mrs. Ribbs.
00:34:40Miss Wilson believes there are creatures on the moon.
00:34:44Damn you!
00:34:45I told you that in strict confidence.
00:34:53Susan!
00:34:54Stop those rivers!
00:34:55I'm Susan Smith!
00:34:57Susan Smith!
00:35:00Susan!
00:35:06There you are.
00:35:07Back with us.
00:35:10I hope you won't suppose this sherry, Miss Lily.
00:35:12Sherry in a ladies' chamber.
00:35:13I could never agree to her, but a bit of honest brandy as a bracer.
00:35:29Got a good mouth for spirits.
00:35:37I know you're lying.
00:35:38No, you haven't heard anything yet, Maud.
00:35:40I'm an orphan.
00:35:42My mother was mad.
00:35:44Her pa and brother preferred the madhouse to shame.
00:35:48She went mad when they put her in there.
00:35:51I'm sorry.
00:36:00I knew then I was mad.
00:36:02Only the maddest, whose brains were overheated, were given the plunge.
00:36:15I'm her husband.
00:36:16She'll do as I tell her.
00:36:18Shh!
00:36:19Leave it to me, gentlemen.
00:36:20We'll do it my way.
00:36:22She'll do it.
00:36:23Believe me.
00:36:26Well, I always say brandy is the best sleep-in draft.
00:36:34Here.
00:36:35Here.
00:36:36Here.
00:36:37If Marianne wasn't my mother, then who was?
00:36:40God alone knows, dear.
00:36:42I took foundlings, you see, out of the goodness of my heart, and you was one of them.
00:36:48This
00:36:52is Sue's mother.
00:36:57Then
00:36:59how do I have a fortune?
00:37:01Sit down.
00:37:07Mary Ann took pity on you, a poor foundling, going to a lonely old place like Briar.
00:37:14There was plenty for both, she said.
00:37:16Poor Michael need it.
00:37:18Wouldn't change her mind.
00:37:19She left half to you, and half to her own daughter, Susan, due on yours and Susan's twenty-first birthdays,
00:37:30in one month's time.
00:37:42And you plan to get all of it?
00:37:44Oh, no, no.
00:37:45It's Mrs. Sucksby's scheme.
00:37:46She gets the major share, I'll get a mere three thousand pounds.
00:37:51Did Sue know what you planned?
00:37:54No, dear.
00:37:56You're not only villains.
00:37:58You're fools.
00:37:59I won't sign anything, and Sue's in no position to.
00:38:04No, you're right.
00:38:05Sue, or should I say your poor mistress, my wife, Mrs. Rivers, is in no condition to sign for her
00:38:11share.
00:38:12I'll be forced to sign for her, thanks to your help.
00:38:15What if I did?
00:38:17Oh!
00:38:18Damn you, I told you, keep away from me!
00:38:20Leave her!
00:38:25Then what do you want with me?
00:38:28Well, we still have to collect Susan's half of the money.
00:38:31You want me to be Sue?
00:38:32Oh, she's sharp, Mr. Ibs.
00:38:34I don't believe you.
00:38:36It's because I'm nothing.
00:38:38I don't even know my name.
00:38:41After I sign, you plan to kill me, don't you?
00:38:44Oh, dear.
00:38:44You're one of us now.
00:38:46And you're a lady.
00:38:48See, you, you would be my companion.
00:38:53Because I need a real lady like you to show me how to become one, see?
00:38:59When you ask for money.
00:39:01You're ridiculous.
00:39:03You should both be in the madhouse.
00:39:05Pass me off as Sue.
00:39:07Mr. Ibs will tell the lawyers he's known you all his life.
00:39:10She is your legal guardian.
00:39:13The doctors know you as a maid.
00:39:14You have no friends in London.
00:39:16No money, no name.
00:39:17Even you, as you say, are nothing.
00:39:21And you will do as I say.
00:39:25I will tell the lawyer.
00:39:27How you plotted to swindle an innocent girl.
00:39:32Are you truly so wicked?
00:39:37So vile?
00:39:44That is vile.
00:39:47Poverty.
00:39:48You think life is hard with money.
00:39:50You should try it without.
00:39:52It is one month before your 21st birthday.
00:39:54One week of borough living will help you make up your mind.
00:39:58Two weeks after the plunge, I was prepared to be anyone they wanted me to be.
00:40:05Only the thought of Mrs. Sucksby kept me going.
00:40:11Mrs. Sucksby used to say,
00:40:13people ain't never interested in the truth, Sue,
00:40:16but in what they want to hear.
00:40:18I am Mrs. Maud Rivers.
00:40:22This is truly remarkable.
00:40:24For you to thank, Doctor.
00:40:27Who have looked after me so well.
00:40:32You would like to see Mr. Rivers?
00:40:36I'd like to see him.
00:40:38Oh, my poor husband.
00:40:41And my maid.
00:40:43What?
00:40:46Who has put up with so much.
00:40:52How I long to see them both again.
00:40:55And so you shall.
00:40:59Dr. Graves.
00:41:03A little test, Mrs. Rivers.
00:41:09Please.
00:41:13Write your name.
00:41:26I think it begins with a different letter, doesn't it?
00:41:48What?
00:41:52Remarkable.
00:41:53The delusion even extends to her motor functions.
00:41:57It's there we will break her.
00:42:02Once your own writing comes back to you,
00:42:05your husband will be here to sign you out.
00:42:09Remarkable.
00:42:12Remarkable.
00:42:14Remarkable.
00:42:15Remarkable.
00:42:17Remarkable.
00:42:18Remarkable.
00:42:18Remarkable.
00:42:18Remarkable.
00:42:18I thought about Sue every day.
00:42:20As Mrs. Sucksby struck off the daze to my 21st birthday.
00:42:24If only I could escape and get to Sue.
00:42:28There you are, missis.
00:42:33Remarkable.
00:42:35Well done.
00:42:53Did you like her?
00:42:55Sue.
00:42:57She turned out bad, didn't she?
00:42:59But I don't know.
00:43:00I miss her sometimes.
00:43:02She was fun.
00:43:04You used to have a good laugh.
00:43:05Get off.
00:43:26Here.
00:43:28You do it.
00:43:30You do it.
00:43:38What is it?
00:43:40I don't feel very well.
00:43:43You never do.
00:43:44Is that what they call a, a lady's constitution?
00:43:48I, I suppose it must.
00:43:50Oh.
00:43:52I need to go to the privy.
00:43:55Oh.
00:43:56I, I don't want to bother you.
00:43:57Oh.
00:43:58It's no bother, madam.
00:44:00It will be if you're not here when Mrs. S gets back.
00:44:08Oh.

00:50:17My house?
00:50:18That's impossible, my dear.
00:50:20I have a wife and children.
00:50:23I see.
00:50:25Not now.
00:50:28Rivers is entirely to blame.
00:50:30Having taken you, he might at least have kept you close.
00:50:33He saw what you were.
00:50:36And what am I,
00:50:38Mr Hawtree?
00:50:49Ah, Thomas.
00:50:50You're not disposing that for you, sir.
00:50:51No, no, no, no, no.
00:50:52I will do this.
00:50:55Oh, obviously.
00:50:56You're off home.

00:50:59Yes.
00:51:02Good night.
00:51:06Good night, sir.
00:51:07Really, you must not.
00:51:10You seem to forget.
00:51:12I have seen much worse at Briar.
00:51:19Whip your backside until the blood runs down your ear.
00:51:25Second part down, wrong font.
00:51:28They've set it in Clarendon.
00:51:31The rest is in Garamond, I think.
00:51:35All right, so do you have.
00:51:42I could work here for you.
00:51:44Impossible.
00:51:45Please.
00:51:45Please.
00:51:47You have been kind.
00:51:50I think you are kind.
00:51:54I beg you, if you could find me some room, at a hotel, anywhere.
00:51:58It's out of the question.
00:52:03Blount Street was foul.
00:52:05It was the last place I wanted to go, but I had nowhere else.
00:52:31Mrs. Saksby.
00:52:40I'd better say a word, but a word.
00:52:45Fine gentleman, tell her she's been found.
00:52:48Mr. Ribs.
00:52:50Kettle.
00:52:53Oh, my God.
00:52:57Dear girl, come on.
00:52:58Come.
00:52:59Come in.
00:53:00Come in.
00:53:02Come and get warm.
00:53:03Come on.
00:53:04Come.
00:53:05Get, gentleman.
00:53:05Be quick.
00:53:06Come.
00:53:20I knew you'd come home.
00:53:30Please don't touch me, stifle me, smother me, pretend to love me.
00:53:43Pretend when Sue's mother came here, people will tell you that I had a baby of my own which died.
00:53:59At least, that's the story around here.
00:54:04Nobody questioned it.
00:54:06Babies do die in Lance Street in particular.
00:54:10Any time I've sat here, thinking how I'd last held you when you was a few days old.
00:54:18Imagining how you'd grown.
00:54:22Your eyes.
00:54:26The shape of your nose I'd pictured exact.
00:54:30The paleness of the skin.
00:54:32But the hair, the hair I always thought would be fairer.
00:54:46Dear girl, my own, my own dear girl, to have you back after all these years.
00:55:15Ladies!
00:55:17Ladies!
00:55:29Remember, meet me at the wall.
00:55:32And don't be late.
00:55:41Of all the burglars' mates God could have sent me, Charles was the worst by a long chalk.
00:55:46Here we are.
00:55:47People want to get to sleep.
00:55:48She says your hands are like poor chalk.
00:55:50I never.
00:55:51And makes it smell like one.
00:55:52I never.
00:55:53I never.
00:55:54After all my kindness, Becky.
00:55:56I never, Nurse Becky.
00:55:58She did.
00:55:58Oh, God help us, look what you've done now.
00:56:01Am I flesh blazing?
00:56:03I'll put the cream on your own self-baking.
00:56:06I'll do it.
00:56:06I will.
00:56:09Small key.
00:56:10Shut up, Betty.
00:56:13Herb, Mrs. Robes, should I have you sing another bleeding verse?
00:56:15What?
00:56:20Why do you want to marry?
00:56:23You know you are too young.
00:56:25There's long 16 of your mind that you must allow.
00:56:29I must know you get married.
00:56:32I'm in a notion now.
00:56:34Oh.
00:56:39Oh.
00:56:49I don't know.
00:57:13I don't know.
00:57:50I don't know.
00:58:27I don't know.
00:58:35I don't know.
00:58:42I don't know.
00:59:21I don't know.
00:59:38What kept me going was the thought of Mrs. Suxby's face when I turned up at Lance Street.
00:59:45And then I thought of Maud, wherever she was.
00:59:48I don't know.
01:00:23I don't know.
01:00:31I don't know.
01:00:33I don't know.
01:00:42I don't know.
01:00:44I don't know.
01:01:33Oh?
01:01:34I don't know.
01:02:04I don't know.
01:02:10I don't know.
01:02:27I don't know.
01:02:56I don't know.
01:03:02I don't know.
01:03:04I don't know.
01:03:05I don't know.
01:03:15I don't know.
01:03:35I don't know.
01:03:49I don't know.
01:03:49I can't believe that in a few days' time you will be 21 years old.
01:03:54I don't know.
01:03:56I don't know.
01:03:56I'll make myself a cook.
01:04:00Oh, thank you.
01:04:03Thank you, dear.
01:04:13Who was my father?
01:04:18Mr. Ibs?
01:04:20No, dear.
01:04:21Your father was a sailor.
01:04:24Lost at sea.
01:04:25Well, lost to me, dear.
01:04:43Smell it.
01:04:44Smell it, miss.
01:04:46London.
01:04:47Oh, the rotten, horrible, bleeding stink of it.
01:04:52What's it?
01:04:52I miss, Smith.
01:04:53I miss bleeding rivers.
01:04:55I'm Susan Trinder!
01:05:05I thought you thought we were going to see Mr. Roberts.
01:05:08This is horrible.
01:05:09I didn't say this is horrible.
01:05:11The country's horrible.
01:05:12This is where I live.
01:05:13This place.
01:05:14And when is Mr...
01:05:18Tommy Jocelyn.
01:05:20Collier drinks.
01:05:22Always good poke.
01:05:28Come on.
01:05:29Come on.
01:05:31Get him.
01:05:38What is it?
01:05:40Miss Trinder, what is it?
01:05:43Don't cry, miss.
01:05:44If you call all of yours.
01:05:57There.
01:06:06Happy birthday.
01:06:08Happy birthday.
01:06:10Happy birthday.
01:06:11Happy birthday.
01:06:17Did you take that from the cottage?
01:06:20Why do you take it?
01:06:22Why?
01:06:23It's because it's what I am.
01:06:25You're kind.
01:06:26You're a lady's maid.
01:06:27I'm a fingersmith, you stupid idiot.
01:06:29A thief.
01:06:31Yeah, well, I don't want to be a thief.
01:06:32I want to be with Mr Rivers.
01:06:34You said you promised.
01:06:35Mr Rivers?
01:06:37Mr Rivers is the biggest printer I'm hung.
01:06:40Mr Rivers, Mr Rivers.
01:06:42You've got me put in a madhouse.
01:06:44Mr Rivers.
01:06:58Happy birthday, Maud.
01:07:00And to our absent friend, Sue.
01:07:02May the day bring good fortune to us all.
01:07:04Leave her alone, can't you?
01:07:06Stop baiting her.
01:07:09I will order Madam's carriage.
01:07:12You're Mrs Sucksby.
01:07:14Gentleman and that bitch has cheated me and put me in the madhouse.
01:07:19Send a signal with this boy and help me.
01:07:37Go on.
01:07:39Remember what you've got to say.
01:07:42Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:07:44Put...
01:07:47I love you.
01:07:51As I always will.
01:07:55Like a daughter.
01:07:59Half a sovereign, son.
01:08:01No, it's got Geneva Works.
01:08:04I'll open it up.
01:08:05Hang on.
01:08:22It's okay.
01:08:24Mrs Sucksby.
01:08:24Miss Maud.
01:08:25She gave me this.
01:08:33She's mucking me.
01:08:34What is it?
01:08:36The two of hearts?
01:08:38Of mucker.
01:08:40Wait, gave me a pound for the watch.
01:08:41Come on.
01:08:51Who's here?
01:08:53Mrs Sucksby.
01:08:54Visitor.
01:08:56He's got on his finger smithing cup with a jewellery.
01:08:59Is that what you told him?
01:09:00I stole your jewellery?
01:09:01You've got some bleeding cheek.
01:09:03You near broke Mrs Sucksby's heart.
01:09:05Oh, oh.
01:09:07Give me your knife.
01:09:09Give me me.
01:09:12I've got no argument with you, John.
01:09:13Or you, don't you?
01:09:14Sue, dear, you ain't yourself.
01:09:16I ain't Mrs Sucksby.
01:09:18Not after what they did to me.
01:09:20Sue, leave now.
01:09:20You'd like me to do that, wouldn't you?
01:09:22Before Gentleman gets back.
01:09:24You don't know what's really happened.
01:09:26I know you've got my clothes.
01:09:28You've even got my bleeding bangles.
01:09:30Why?
01:09:31Isn't your fortune enough?
01:09:34Isn't what you did to me enough?
01:09:35Please, go.
01:09:36Put me in a madhouse, Miss Sucksby.
01:09:39You've got to put me there.
01:09:40I wish I had.
01:09:41To cheat me.
01:09:42To kill me.
01:09:43I will.
01:09:44I will.
01:09:44I will kill you.
01:09:46Get out of my head.
01:09:47Get out of my head.
01:09:50Come on, cow.
01:09:51You've been down to me since the devil was born.
01:09:53Touch me again.
01:09:54You all know it.
01:09:55I never, I never, I never, I never believed you cut with the jewellery.
01:10:00No, I went along with the others.
01:10:01Because they thought me a sentimental awful, but I knew, deep down.
01:10:06Give me the knife, did you?
01:10:07I did, I did.
01:10:08I thought, no, not myself.
01:10:11You brought me up as your own door.
01:10:12I thought I'd never see you again.
01:10:14But you know, I had a man looking for you.
01:10:16I knew you would.
01:10:17Sue.
01:10:22Your carriage awaits.
01:10:28Hello, Charles.
01:10:30My boots have never been the same.
01:10:33Sue?
01:10:34She's just told me what you've done to her.
01:10:37So you'd better go.
01:10:43No.
01:10:44No.
01:10:47No.
01:10:47No.
01:10:58You found me out a villain, Charles.
01:11:00Oh, honest to God, Mr. Rivers, I never meant to.
01:11:03Get out!
01:11:05Don't let him go!
01:11:06I'll go for Dr. Christie!
01:11:08Stay!
01:11:09Stay!
01:11:09Stay, stay, stay.
01:11:10There, there.
01:11:11There, there.
01:11:12You're all right.
01:11:13You're all right.
01:11:14All right now.
01:11:15There.
01:11:16There, there.
01:11:17There.
01:11:17There, there, there.
01:11:18There, there.
01:11:20All right.
01:11:26Oh, damn it.
01:11:27Tell the poor bitch how we used her.
01:11:29I bet you don't say any more.
01:11:30Oh, my dear wife.
01:11:31Have you no feelings at all?
01:11:32Not that I know of, but I know you have.
01:11:35Oh, damn it, Maul.
01:11:35What does it matter to you?
01:11:37You're a fully-fledged villain now.
01:11:38You don't have to care about either of them.
01:11:42Gentlemen, I will...
01:11:44Will you...
01:11:44Will you...
01:11:45Mrs. Saxeby?
01:11:46Oh, now I see the resemblance.
01:11:47No, you see nothing, nothing.
01:11:49Why did I never suspect it?
01:11:51No wonder you kicked and cursed and she let you.
01:11:53Oh, this is rich.
01:11:55Did you know Mr. Reeves?
01:11:56No, no, no.
01:11:56He knows nothing.
01:11:57No, no, no, nothing.
01:11:58Stop it!
01:11:59Let's have a taste of my heart.
01:12:01Rose?
01:12:02My heart!
01:12:03Your heart?
01:12:04You have a heart, Mrs. Saxeby?
01:12:06No, I feel it!
01:12:07No, no, no, no, no.
01:12:10I should get your daughter to do that.
01:12:13No!
01:12:14Oh, no!
01:12:16Grace!
01:12:17Oh, no!
01:12:28Oh, no!
01:12:35Can you hear me?
01:12:51Give me a surgeon, Bo
01:12:53Surgeons?
01:12:54God damn you
01:12:57Charlie
01:12:58Charlie
01:12:59Hunter!
01:13:00Hunter!
01:13:01Help!
01:13:04Stop the boy!
01:13:28He's gone
01:13:36Who did this?
01:13:48She'd done it
01:13:49I saw her
01:13:51Wait
01:13:53What happened was
01:13:54Life was on the table
01:13:56Maud started to say something else
01:13:58But nobody heard her
01:13:59I done it
01:14:02Lord knows I'm sorry for it now
01:14:05But I done it
01:14:07And these girls are innocent girls
01:14:10And never armed
01:14:10No one
01:14:15Maud said she'd killed him
01:14:18But nobody believed her
01:14:21Because she was a lady
01:14:24And a lunatic
01:14:29Gentlemen weren't a gentleman after all
01:14:32But a draper's son
01:14:35Frederick Bunt
01:14:38The papers said he'd been brutally cut down on his manhood
01:14:42And girls put his picture next to their hearts
01:14:46I didn't see Maud before she disappeared
01:14:50Good job
01:14:52Or I'd have probably ended up with Mrs. Suxby
01:14:56Mrs. Suxby was so game when the judge put on the black cap
01:15:00And sentenced her to death
01:15:06She always looked behind me
01:15:09As if she was expecting someone else to be with me
01:15:13But I wanted her for myself
01:15:17Quite alone
01:15:20That's good
01:15:23Just you and me
01:15:26As it used to be
01:15:29Mrs. Suxby
01:15:32What should I do without you?
01:15:35Better, dear girl
01:15:38How can you say that?
01:15:41Watch me tomorrow
01:15:45Don't cover your eyes
01:15:47And sue
01:15:50Should you ever hear hard things of me when I have gone
01:15:56Think back to me
01:15:57I will
01:16:13We had a collection
01:16:15It's not very much, but
01:16:18Thank you
01:16:20How is she?
01:16:24Game
01:16:25Thanks, Tommy
01:16:32I'd like you to see you
01:16:34She won't give her name
01:16:36She won't give her name
01:16:38She won't give her name
01:16:39She won't give her name
01:17:10No one will listen to me
01:17:12No one will listen to me
01:17:14You must tell them
01:17:18If you only came to say that, then go
01:17:23I'd done what I'd done
01:17:24I'd done what I'd done
01:17:24And that's the end of it
01:17:27You must tell them I killed her
01:17:32No
01:17:34I was wrong to send you away
01:17:37And I was wrong to do that to a girl like Sue
01:17:40A jewel
01:17:41I hope she never finds out
01:17:43I will never tell her
01:17:52I came to see you
01:17:54As well as
01:17:56Did you?
01:17:58Of course I did
01:18:02Oh dear
01:18:13Mother
01:18:15Mother
01:18:17Mother
01:18:18I wish
01:18:20Never mind
01:18:24Just this
01:18:31I wish
01:18:32I would have turned out
01:18:33I wish
01:18:34I would have been
01:18:35I wish
01:18:41You were a loved one
01:18:42I wish
01:18:46I had a dream
01:18:47I wish
01:18:48I had a dream
01:18:49I wish
01:18:51I could have been
01:18:51I wish
01:18:56I could have been
01:19:39This is Sucksby's daughter, isn't it?
01:22:14Look at me, Sue.
01:22:18Come here.
01:22:38I heard that Mr. Lily had died.
01:22:41And so I returned to Briar to see if I could find something to show me where Maud had gone.
01:22:55Thank you, Sue.
01:22:59Thank you, Sue.
01:23:11Thank you, Sue.
01:23:15Thank you, Sue.
01:23:21Thank you, Sue.
01:23:33Thank you, Sue.
01:23:34Thank you, Sue.
01:23:34Thank you, Sue.
01:23:47Thank you, Sue.
01:23:48Thank you, Sue.
01:23:51Thank you, Sue.
01:24:09Thank you, Sue.
01:24:12Thank you, Sue.
01:24:18Thank you, Sue.
01:24:41Thank you, Sue.
01:24:41Thank you, Sue.
01:24:41Thank you, Sue.
01:24:50How could I hold my own?
01:25:02I know everything.
01:25:04No.
01:25:06You know nothing.
01:25:08You don't know me at all.
01:25:19How delicious was the glow on her ivory shoulders as I forced her back on the couch.
01:25:25I scarcely knew what I was about.
01:25:28Everything now was in active exertion.
01:25:31Tongues, lips, bellies, thighs, arms, legs, bottom.
01:25:38Every part in a voluptuous motion.
01:26:03Are they all like that?
01:26:06Every single one.
01:26:08I write it myself now.
01:26:10I must earn a living somehow.
01:26:13I'm not the good, sweet girl you thought I was.
01:26:17Because this is what I am.
01:26:29I know you must hate me.
01:26:31Hate me.
01:26:33I don't hate you.
01:26:35I...
01:26:38I'm so sorry for what I did to you Sue.
01:26:42I'm sorry.
01:26:44They treat us both then.
01:26:50I found this in a dress.
01:26:52Someone read it out to me.
01:26:55The money is yours.
01:26:57Did you know who my mother was from the very beginning?
01:27:00Not till I got to London.
01:27:03And Mrs. Sucksby never wanted you to find out.
01:27:11She loved you.
01:27:15She did too.
01:27:17She...
01:27:17She...
01:27:18She said...
01:27:18How wrong she was to...
01:27:21Try and turn...
01:27:22A jewel like you and...
01:27:24A jewel...
01:27:26Turn a jewel like you into a commonplace girl.
01:27:33I killed her.
01:27:36I...
01:27:36I pleaded with Mrs. Sucksby to tell the truth.
01:27:39But all she would say was...
01:27:42That she had done it and...
01:27:45Shhh.
01:27:49And that was the end to it.
01:27:50Shhh.
01:27:54I know.
01:27:59I...
01:27:59I'll miss you.
01:28:00My Kind of yeah, so...
01:28:02I...
01:28:18What does it say?
01:28:28It's full of words saying
01:28:32how I want you.
01:28:40How.
01:28:45I love you.
01:28:49I love you.
01:29:19I love you.
