00:22Good morning, Alvin.
00:23Good morning.
00:24Yes, Lane.
00:32Good morning.
01:04Good morning.
01:47Good morning.
01:50Good morning.
01:50Good morning.
01:56Good morning.
01:58Good morning.
02:06Good morning.
02:07Good morning.
02:20Good morning.
02:39Good morning.
02:41Good morning.
02:43Good morning.
02:51Good morning.
03:17Good morning.
03:28Good morning.
03:31Good morning.
03:36Good morning.
03:38Good morning.
04:22Good morning.
04:24Good morning.
04:25Good morning.
04:45Good morning.
04:47Good morning.
05:08Good morning.
05:15Good morning.
05:17Good morning.
05:34Good morning.
05:46Good morning.
05:59Good morning.
06:00Good morning.
06:02Good morning.
06:03Good morning.
06:03Good morning.
06:34Good morning.
06:35Good morning.
06:36Good morning.
06:47Good morning.
06:49Good morning.
06:51more. I am not. Yes, you are. I've followed you. It's all right. I won't tell. I think it's terribly
06:58exciting. It is a little. Please, not a word. Sister's promise. And I know you've been kissed
07:06before. Do you, Jess? I've only ever kissed Dr. Sneed and he was unconscious at the time and his
07:12lips were swollen. I didn't feel any real butterflies. Is that normal? It is often the
07:17case when kissing comatose people. I've been practicing on a banana. What exactly on a
07:24banana? Kissing. It is sort of the same shape as a lip. Why? Because in the next few days a
07:32ship will
07:32arrive with a man on it. Yes, not uncommon in a harbour town where men outnumber us eight to one.
07:37One man in particular is with the bank of Great Britain and by all reports someone of outstanding
07:41virtue. Others said she is happy to see me marry even if it means me going away and father said
07:47he's prepared to offer a very generous diary. He might be a perfect bull. Please, Bill, you're
07:52speaking about the man I love. If the virtuous man from the bank of Great Britain kisses you,
07:59you will know if he's the one for you. It will feel like nothing else on this earth.
08:09Yes. Yes, of course. Yes, of course. Yes, of course. Yes, of course. Yes, of course.
08:15Yes, of course. Later. If you've finished looking for bandages, they've vanished along with stethoscopes
08:29and scalpels. And there's a patient needing attention.
08:44I have this, uh, tonic for Mr. Cracksworth from the young doctor. Keep him nice and cheaper
08:51for when he hangs. Makes it more enjoyable for the crowd.
09:09Oh, for a pistol or a blade.
09:13I'm sharing this place with enough vermin already.
09:18Hurtful. I'll shuffle off then, will I?
09:22Let me walk you out.
09:24Well, I was going to offer you a dusting of hope, but I can see I'm not wanted.
09:29What hope?
09:40Have you known many women in the past?
09:43Why, yes, I have known many women. I see women every day.
09:49No, I mean...
09:52In a physical way.
09:57Yes.
09:58No, I mean...
10:01Have you...
10:02had Congress with another woman?
10:07I'm not judging. What happened in the past is your business.
10:11But have you?
10:13Had Congress.
10:15Hmm.
10:18Do you mean sex?
10:21Yes, I suppose so.
10:23Well, then, yes, many times.
10:26Oh.
10:29I was a sailor.
10:32And also, I am 28.
10:35Right.
10:39So I'm just another one of many, am I?
10:43No.
10:44As we haven't had...
10:47Congress.
10:50Fine.
10:53Fine. No, fine.
10:54I, um, I just needed to be clear if I was wasting my time.
11:02And, um...
11:04Fine. I see that I am.
11:07Oh, no, hang on.
11:07What happened to the not judging part?
11:09Oh, who's judging?
11:10I'm not judging.
11:12But you do need to know that it will not happen unless I'm married.
11:20Well, that's not very likely, then, is it?
11:23Why am I not worthy of Congress?
11:28The world will never allow us to marry, Bill.
11:32You are the governor's daughter.
11:36You misjudge my family.
11:39My mother is your greatest supporter.
11:41She fought for you to get this job.
11:43She'll support me.
11:46If I'm not to be one of many.
11:54You have unnerved me more than any other woman I've ever met.
12:02Is that a good thing?
12:08You fill me with equal parts joy and dread.
12:16Damn you.
12:19Same.
12:22Damn you, right back.
12:27Went to the hospital this morning.
12:30Considering setting up a clinic for women.
12:32Sterling idea, darling.
12:35That surgeon there is quite brilliant.
12:37Well, you clearly can't be talking about the professor.
12:40But Rainsford Sneed seems up to the task.
12:43No, the other one.
12:44Jack.
12:45Dawkins.
12:47Jack Dawkins.
12:49Well, he didn't exactly cover himself in glory at the dinner.
12:53Perhaps we should invite him again.
12:55He seemed very apologetic.
12:58Quite personable.
13:00Is this the same personable man
13:02who challenged another guest to a fistfight over the soup
13:05and then followed it up with a jewel?
13:07So I think he's much changed.
13:09Anything that I should...
13:11No.
13:12Right, right.
13:13Oh, your other daughter wants us to organise an intimate dinner
13:16for this chap from the Bank of Great Britain.
13:19Can't wait.
13:20Yes, well, he does come with the most impeccable credentials.
13:23An Eton man.
13:24Not a bad word to be said about him.
13:27And the bank certainly wouldn't entrust a shipment of gold
13:29back to London to a man of lesser quality.
13:33And if he's prepared to marry our Fanny,
13:37then ought to the good?
13:38Then it would seem both our daughters have their eyes cast on...
13:43personable men.
13:49Right.
13:50Slow down.
13:51Apouti, slow down.
13:52You're very fragile.
13:54Now,
13:56Timmy knocked it up.
13:58Let me show you.
13:59You hold that.
14:00Now you're going to lower that through the hole,
14:03hook it,
14:03and then reel it in.
14:06Reel it in.
14:08Apouti,
14:09you're a former whaler.
14:11Why am I teaching you how to hook a bloody fish?
14:13Why can't we just go on the front door?
14:15Because the manhole is up there.
14:17Now you're going to squeeze into the ceiling space,
14:20drop that through the hole,
14:21hook it,
14:21it's simple.
14:23Now, come on.
14:24The sun will be up in a minute.
14:25What's that stupid contraption?
14:30Hello,
14:31Redfordshire.
14:32Running like
14:33your little squawker.
14:35Kira's with her aunties.
14:36This will never work.
14:38How strong is this rope?
15:02Did you hear that?
15:07I definitely
15:08heard
15:10something.
15:15Who is there?
15:17Look up,
15:18for God's sake!
15:30I am telling you,
15:31I saw what I saw,
15:33Captain,
15:33and I scarce believe it.
15:38Am I to understand
15:40there has been a theft?
15:41No,
15:41not at all.
15:43I am sharing a vision
15:44most splendid with you,
15:46Captain.
15:47Now, this morning,
15:48in the wee hours
15:49around 5 a.m.,
15:51he spaked to me.
15:53You spaked him?
15:56Thusly,
15:57in a deep,
15:57manly voice,
15:59saying unto me,
16:00Look up,
16:01for God's sake!
16:02And behold,
16:04I saw an angel,
16:06arms outstretched,
16:08ascending to the very heavens.
16:09I take it the altar wine
16:11was all finished?
16:12Well,
16:13I would have thought
16:14the same thing
16:15unless I'd seen
16:16it with my own eyes.
16:19Now,
16:19I never really bought
16:20what I preached.
16:22I was really drawn
16:23to the priesthood
16:24because of a gambling debt,
16:26free accommodation,
16:27and the cassocks,
16:28until this morning.
16:32I am a great believer
16:33that all destiny
16:34is guided.
16:36I take it
16:37there was no witness
16:38to this miracle?
16:39As it happens,
16:39I was giving comfort
16:41to one Molly Crutchley
16:43at the time.
16:44She saw St. Coxicks
16:45ascend.
16:46She will bear witness.
16:48St. Coxicks?
16:50The name's familiar.
16:52I wonder why
16:54St. Coxicks
16:54wanted his relic
16:55back at 5 a.m.
16:58She?
16:59St. Coxicks
17:01was a very holy woman.
17:03I think she knew
17:04it was time
17:04that the relic
17:05and the rubies...
17:08were they real rubies?
17:10God would not accept
17:11cheap jewellery.
17:16Describe the angel.
17:29I wasn't doing nothing.
17:33Anyway,
17:35just what is it?
17:36It was supposed
17:37to be done.
17:46Something a little
17:48less sharp,
17:49I think, Roddy.
17:51He sliced my throat
17:52with a knife.
17:54This one.
17:57Darius,
17:58how about we make
18:00things all nice again?
18:02Yeah.
18:03How about
18:04chopping your own
18:04neck off?
18:08And?
18:11Sorry
18:13for, uh,
18:14slashing your throat.
18:15Lovely.
18:16Lovely.
18:17Nice.
18:18Now, we can all
18:19be friends again.
18:21Your heads is as
18:22empty as the kegs
18:23after payday.
18:24Damn.
18:27So I suppose
18:29I'm in your
18:30debt.
18:30Oh, yes.
18:32Heavily, I'd say.
18:35What do you want?
18:38Stop, driver!
18:39Oh!
18:51What is this about,
18:53Captain?
18:53It is more a question
18:54for your daughter
18:54about a recent death
18:56at the hospital,
18:56Melody.
18:57Why on earth
18:58would my daughter
18:59know anything about that?
19:00Because she helped
19:01deliver a bastard
19:03child the other night.
19:04She what?
19:05No, I didn't.
19:06You didn't?
19:06I failed to deliver
19:08a beautiful baby girl.
19:10Sadly, both mother
19:11and child died.
19:12And you're quite certain
19:13the mother was dead?
19:14No second thoughts
19:15on that question
19:15with the benefit
19:16of reflection?
19:17I know a dead body
19:18when I see one.
19:19I admit I do struggle
19:20in your case.
19:22Drive on.
19:22I thought you were
19:23rolling bandages
19:24and reading
19:25to the unfortunates.
19:29Driver,
19:30take Lady Belle home.
19:36My best guess
19:37is that Mr O'Grady
19:38here has a large
19:39intestinal worm
19:40that's feeding off
19:40of everything he eats.
19:41So what will you do?
19:42Nothing.
19:43Don't feed him
19:44for two days,
19:45then lower his trousers,
19:46place a large piece
19:46of rotting meat downwind
19:47and point his shithole
19:48towards it.
19:49The worm will figure out
19:50which way to go.
19:54My lady.
20:12My daughter
20:13is greatly taken
20:15by your surgical skills,
20:17Dr Dawkins.
20:18Well, she is very gifted
20:19to herself.
20:20She's very interested
20:22in all things
20:22anatomical.
20:23So I'm beginning
20:24to understand.
20:27I invested
20:28a great deal
20:29of energy
20:30in time
20:31to place you here.
20:33And I'm enormously
20:34grateful, ma'am.
20:36And I can see
20:38that you're
20:38a gifted surgeon
20:39and an asset
20:41to this hospital
20:42and town.
20:44and I will support you
20:47in that role.
20:51Thank you again,
20:53milady.
20:55It is, however,
20:57an entirely different matter
20:58of someone
20:59of your station
21:00and background
21:00to spend time
21:01with my daughter.
21:03This bloodline
21:04goes back
21:04to the conqueror.
21:07At the risk
21:08of sounding blunt,
21:09we are pursuing
21:10a suitable partner
21:11for Belle
21:13and marriage,
21:14doctor.
21:17It's not about
21:18mindless infatuation.
21:21Am I making myself
21:23clear?
21:24You are beginning to.
21:25Good.
21:26Lady Belle will stay
21:28away from the hospital
21:29and she will marry
21:29someone of status
21:30and wealth,
21:31not a glorified
21:32butcher.
21:34And what if she
21:35doesn't agree
21:36with this view?
21:37You will not
21:38speak a word of this
21:39to my daughter
21:40or your time here
21:41will be finished,
21:41do you understand?
21:45So I have no say in this.
21:49What am I expected
21:50to do when she turns
21:51up here at the hospital?
21:54Perhaps follow
21:55the same advice
21:56you gave to
21:56the intestinal worm
21:58and encourage her
21:59to leave.
22:04You do realise
22:05that what you're
22:05proposing is
22:06impossible?
22:07I hear that a lot.
22:09Games has eyes
22:10on you
22:10every hour of the day
22:12and me too now.
22:14Right.
22:15Well, I need you
22:16as the newly returned
22:17government's customs
22:19officer to do me
22:20two wincy things.
22:21First,
22:22a crate of,
22:23shall we say,
22:25explosive matter
22:26sent over here
22:27by me dear
22:28Auntie Beatrix
22:29sits on your wharf
22:30and I have need of it.
22:31Right?
22:34And the second thing?
22:35In two weeks' time
22:36when HMS Fortitude
22:38sets sail from the harbour
22:40bound for the
22:40Blessed Mother
22:41I need you to arrange
22:42another vessel
22:43to take me
22:44clean away
22:45from this armpit
22:46of a place.
23:08All right.
23:10What are we doing?
23:16Appendectomy?
23:18I read that
23:19if you use a reverse cut
23:21to assess...
23:21I have it, thanks.
23:22I don't need your help
23:22with this one.
23:25Well, perhaps I can...
23:27I really don't have time
23:27to train you today.
23:30Train me?
23:33So you are doing
23:34an abdominal surgery
23:36and a Hetty here
23:37is spraying
23:37to avoid infection.
23:39Everyone in the room
23:40who introduced
23:41ether and carbolic acid
23:43to this hospital,
23:43raise your hand.
23:45Oh.
23:46Right.
23:47That would be me.
23:49Are you quite finished
23:50trying to prove
23:50that you're far superior
23:51to everybody in this room
23:52or may I be allowed
23:53to continue
23:54with this surgery?
23:58It's gone into you.
24:04Hetty,
24:04will you please
24:05show the governor's
24:05daughter out?
24:06I prefer to work alone
24:06today.
24:23Son of us!
24:24The bloody lot of you.
24:25Go on.
24:39What just happened in there?
24:41Nothing.
24:42No, that wasn't nothing.
24:43You just tried to humiliate
24:45me in front of people.
24:46Well, then you are getting
24:47a good sense of how my lot
24:48feel when your lot
24:48deigned to speak to us.
24:50I shouldn't have to apologise
24:51for my station
24:52any more than you should
24:53for yours.
24:54My station.
24:56That matters, does it?
24:59What happened to me
25:00unnerving you?
25:03Hmm?
25:09That's the problem, isn't it?
25:12This is all far too complicated
25:14and I have simply realised
25:15that I am more comfortable
25:18unattached
25:18with nothing to tie me down
25:19or distract me from my work.
25:27fine.
25:31Fine.
25:34Fine.
25:36Leaves me free
25:37for a filler relationship
25:39with someone less morally loose.
25:57It's all well, darling.
25:59Yes, fine.
26:01Fine.
26:03What exactly are you doing?
26:06Oh, I think I'm going to burn them.
26:09Yes, I'm tired of looking at pictures
26:10of stupid men's heads on the walls.
26:12Leave them be, please.
26:14Why have people who make our lives
26:15a misery stare at us
26:16from the walls all day?
26:17Hmm?
26:19It's better than talking to them.
26:22So now you'll be a pilot.
26:28What is all this stuff?
26:29Recent acquisitions.
26:31May I ask what has brought about
26:32this wondrous change of heart?
26:34Doesn't matter.
26:35There's nothing here for me anymore.
26:37Oh, this calls for a celebratory libation.
26:42Is this all hospital stuff?
26:43No, no, no, no.
26:44It's from everywhere.
26:48Oh, that's got a cheeky bite.
26:50That's surgical alcohol.
26:52Is it?
26:52It's lovely.
26:54Medicinal.
26:55Healing from the insides.
26:58Now, bend your lug holes this way.
27:03A sealed chest is currently making its way here
27:07under heavy guard from the gold fields of Ballarat
27:10bound for good old blighty
27:12whereupon it will be turned into coinage
27:13featuring the snooty bonds of hers truly.
27:17But it will never make it.
27:19Three ladies' parasols.
27:21Why, you ask? Why?
27:23I didn't.
27:24Because we, me, you, and a hand-selected team
27:26are going to steal the gold shipment
27:28from right underneath their upturned sneeze boxes.
27:32How long have these been in here?
27:34That's disgusting.
27:36Are these the missing hospital bandages?
27:37Well, I needed something to wrap the meat.
27:40Are you listening to me?
27:40We're going to grab the gold
27:42before it journeys back to London.
27:44That's my scalpel.
27:46I needed it to cut me porky bag,
27:48so I don't think you're giving due weight
27:49to what I'm saying.
27:50I heard you.
27:51You plan on knocking off
27:53a large shipment of gold
27:54and you want my help stealing it?
27:56Yeah, that's about the measure of it.
27:58So it's about the same level of difficulty
28:00as robbing the bank of Great Britain?
28:02No.
28:02It's bigger,
28:03and the planning has been in me brain's workhouse
28:05for well over a year now.
28:14You didn't run into me here by accident, did you?
28:17I can't tell you the directions I went through
28:20to get myself transported here.
28:22Deliberately getting arrested now.
28:24That went against me nature, I can tell you.
28:26What possessed you?
28:27You could have died on the way over here.
28:29Yeah.
28:31I needed you.
28:33My dream is to make me and you
28:36richer than all the tops
28:38who have made our lives such a misery
28:39over the passage of years.
28:41And I've got a foolproof plan.
28:44Concocted by a fool.
28:46I admire your enthusiasm.
28:49Yes.
29:04Afternoon, doctor.
29:05Belle.
29:05Hattie!
29:07So sorry to worry you.
29:08Can I have a moment, please?
29:09Of course.
29:10Belle, can I have a word?
29:14Belle.
29:22What would you think about a ward
29:24solely for women?
29:25Where all women and their children
29:27were welcome and seen only by women?
29:29I think it would be wonderful.
29:32Yes.
29:33And I think I know the place.
29:35The South Ward.
29:37That's Dr Dawkins' ward.
29:39Oh, is it?
29:40Oh.
29:40He'll be fine.
29:42Belle, please may I have a word?
29:44Not now, doctor.
29:45Bit of a hurry.
29:45There's something I need to tell you.
29:46Look, whatever this is,
29:47can I please not be a part of it?
29:51I need to explain.
29:52No.
29:52No, you already did.
29:53And you were right.
29:54So right.
29:55So very right.
29:57I was.
29:58Yes.
29:59I was forgetting the real reason
30:01I came to this hospital.
30:02To be a surgeon.
30:04That silliness,
30:05whatever that was between us,
30:06was ridiculous.
30:07And it was getting in the way.
30:09I think you need to speak with your mother.
30:11Well, I speak to her every day.
30:12I'm very grateful to you.
30:14Oh, and in the future,
30:15it's Lady Belle.
30:17Fine.
30:19Fine.
30:21Fine.
30:23All the pigeons
30:25are now neatly perched
30:27upon Nelson's stony shoulders.
30:36You look like you've seen a ghost.
30:39What's wrong?
30:41I think all them pigeons
30:43just shut themselves.
30:55God,
30:56who in God's terrible universe
30:58did the bank of great bloody Britain
31:00decide to send here?
31:01How on earth would I know?
31:02Who is the wettest lettuce
31:03of all time?
31:05I don't know,
31:05but I am with a patient
31:06at the moment.
31:09No.
31:10Please.
31:12No.
31:13Please.
31:14No.
31:14Oh, yes.
31:15No!
31:16That's right.
31:18Oliver pissing twist.
31:23All my goose is cooked.
31:24He knows everything about us
31:25and he's so bloody
31:28honest.
31:29You would see it
31:30as his moral duty
31:31to send us both
31:31to the peelers.
31:35Did he see you?
31:36No.
31:37I mean,
31:37he was looking in my direction,
31:38but I have aged
31:39something considerable.
31:41You have looked the same
31:41since you were born.
31:42Like a bad piece
31:43of taxidermy.
31:45Hurtful?
31:50Sorry,
31:51Grums.
31:53Uh,
31:53Oliver Trister,
31:54squire?
31:56Welcome, sir.
31:59Your excellency,
32:00the governor.
32:03Lady Jane.
32:07This must be...
32:10Oh.
32:14Forgive me,
32:15my breath was
32:16momentarily held prisoner.
32:18See,
32:19you told me
32:20your daughter
32:21was passingly pretty,
32:22but this...
32:24fission.
32:28Here is a variety
32:30of grass
32:30that I am just
32:31excessively proud of.
32:33Right.
32:34I wonder,
32:35could I tell you
32:36about its maturation cycle?
32:38Oh,
32:39but you must,
32:40excellency.
32:40I'm a great admirer
32:41of the sod.
32:42Oh, you are?
32:43Oh, well,
32:44I'll just get a shovel.
32:45If you're lucky,
32:47you often see
32:47these very big
32:48furry animals
32:48moving ever so slowly
32:50across the lawns
32:50and digging giant holes.
32:51Really?
32:52What's super fun?
32:53What are they called?
32:54I don't know,
32:55but they make
32:56a terrible mess
32:56of mother's petunias.
32:59Clearly
33:00loam deficient.
33:02Unsuitable for marrows,
33:04more's the pity.
33:07Oh.
33:08Shame.
33:09Oh, uh, yes,
33:10my daughter here
33:11is insisting
33:12we have a special
33:13dinner for you.
33:14Marvellous.
33:14Yes.
33:15Now,
33:16I wonder,
33:17I believe I saw
33:18from my carriage window
33:19an older man
33:21in ragged attire
33:21that I might have known
33:22from London days.
33:23Yeah, no idea.
33:24I think his name
33:25was Fagan.
33:26Oh, yes, him.
33:27He works for a sergeant here,
33:28Jack Dawkins.
33:31Jack Dawkins
33:32is here.
33:34I knew him
33:34by another name then.
33:37I wonder,
33:38would it be
33:38a terrible imposition
33:39to invite Jack
33:40to the soiree?
33:42He may not remember you,
33:44but he most certainly
33:45will remember
33:45his half-brother
33:46who tried to kill him.
33:47We have invested
33:48far too much
33:49to back out now.
33:51Besides,
33:51it'd be nice to see
33:52that nauseating galumpus
33:54turn up in London
33:54with an empty gold chest.
33:56I ain't going nowhere near it.
33:57You just have a carriage
33:58standing by
33:59to take us nice and safe
34:00to the ship.
34:01It's not like Nolly
34:01who's going to be
34:02personally standing
34:03over the gold
34:03all day long.
34:05As long as he didn't
34:06recognise you,
34:07he'll just keep it outside
34:08and make sure
34:08he doesn't see us.
34:11And to hell
34:12with the bloody lot of them.
34:40Now,
34:41the bank has issued me
34:42with only two keys.
34:43Both are required
34:44to unlock it.
34:45I shall wear one
34:46around my neck
34:46on all occasions
34:47and the other
34:49when I entrust
34:49to your good purpose.
34:51Oh, yes.
34:52Well, it too
34:53shall hang around
34:54my neck
34:54and never leave me.
34:56I shall bathe with it.
34:57I shall sleep with it.
34:59It shall be
35:00my constant companion.
35:01Well,
35:01then let's lock
35:02the door together.
35:03You can rest easy,
35:04gentlemen.
35:04There will be soldiers
35:05everywhere.
35:16He clocked you.
35:19Oh,
35:20the lettuce.
35:21How do you know?
35:23So I've been invited
35:25back to government
35:25house for dinner
35:26tomorrow night.
35:27Oh,
35:29this is good.
35:32Heaven's opened
35:33its pearlies
35:34and welcomed us
35:35inside.
35:35No,
35:35I can't possibly attend.
35:37Oliver will get me
35:38rested on the spot.
35:39No,
35:39he wouldn't invite you
35:40to a feed
35:41and squeal on you.
35:42He's a wonderful,
35:43decent man.
35:44No,
35:45this is our moment.
35:46You know what this is?
35:47This,
35:48this
35:48is
35:49Julius Caesar
35:51riding his wooden horse
35:53through the gates
35:54of Troy,
35:55Oliver Twist
35:55and the governor
35:56together at the same dinner.
35:59I'm going to have
35:59to bring things forward.
36:01Now,
36:02let me lay it out
36:03for you,
36:03sweet and simple.
36:05Our boy here
36:06walks bold
36:07as a cockerel
36:08up to the front door
36:09of government house
36:10and instead of being
36:11booted out on his ear,
36:12he is welcomed in
36:14like royalty.
36:18Dr. Dawkins,
36:19this is a surprise
36:21of sorts.
36:22Dodger?
36:25Will tickle my cheeks
36:27with a goose's feather.
36:29Dodger will mingle
36:31virtual unnoticed
36:32by the hoi polloi,
36:34making sure
36:35he don't draw
36:36no attention
36:37to himself.
36:41But I'm intrigued
36:42as to how a man
36:42of your background,
36:44Mr. Twist,
36:45met a man
36:45of his.
36:48Please,
36:48may I
36:49have some more?
36:50But of course,
36:52your third helping.
36:53I love the crunch
36:54of crackling,
36:55the whizz
36:56and pop
36:57open one's mouth.
36:59Well,
37:00this
37:00is such an interesting
37:01story going back
37:02many years.
37:03Hey, Dodger.
37:06I doubt people here
37:07really want to hear
37:08about that.
37:08Probably not.
37:09Please don't let me
37:10stop you.
37:10I am most interested.
37:12Ah,
37:13so you have an audience.
37:14Well,
37:15in a time of
37:16great personal turmoil
37:18and peril,
37:19this man,
37:20but a boy then,
37:21took me in,
37:22sheltered me,
37:24saved my very life.
37:28But why do you
37:29call him
37:30Dodger?
37:32It's because he
37:33dodges all
37:34responsibility,
37:35I wonder.
37:36Mr. Jest.
37:37I was just
37:38very quick.
37:40Oh,
37:42dear.
37:43Not again,
37:43darling.
37:44One of you
37:45medics,
37:46do something!
37:47Oh, dear.
37:49Don't touch me.
37:51With your permission,
37:52my lady.
37:53Fine.
37:55So I've had
37:56these replica keys
37:57knocked up by
37:58the lovely Tim
37:59according to the
37:59specifics of our
38:00red coat on the
38:01inside so that
38:02when you snitch
38:03the real ones
38:04from around their
38:05necks,
38:05you replace them
38:06with these?
38:07At a dinner party
38:08with a dozen people
38:09watching me.
38:10Right.
38:11Be easier just
38:12to shoot them.
38:12Nobody's shooting
38:13anyone.
38:14What?
38:14You prefer
38:14hand-to-hand combat?
38:16Well,
38:17bring them
38:17just in case.
38:18Now,
38:19by 9.30pm,
38:21all the
38:22tufts
38:22of these
38:23hornswoggles
38:24are usually
38:24suzzled on port
38:25half asleep
38:26in their armchairs
38:27with dribble
38:28oozing
38:29out of their
38:30snoring
38:30noggins.
38:31Oh, no,
38:32dammit.
38:33Not tonight.
38:34Bloody gout.
38:35Hmm.
38:36No, then I, too,
38:37shall restrain
38:38myself,
38:38governor.
38:39Water with lemon,
38:40please.
38:44I'll need a
38:44diversion of some
38:45sort, but at
38:46precisely the right
38:47moment.
38:48And you shall have
38:48the mother and
38:50uncle of all
38:51diversions, because
38:52flashy here will
38:54afford you a
38:55distraction to
38:55confound all
38:56distractions.
38:57Rockets,
38:58penny bungers,
38:59reds, blues,
39:00enough fireworks
39:01for a Shanghai
39:02New Year.
39:02Placed strategic
39:03on the right
39:04side of the
39:05gullas.
39:05They will go off
39:06at 10 o'clock on
39:07the knocker.
39:07The soldiers will
39:09hear a commotion
39:10that will rattle
39:10their bowels, and
39:11they will rush off
39:12to the right side
39:13like dogs chasing
39:14a bone thinking
39:14war is upon them,
39:16leaving the left
39:16side open for us.
39:18How long will it
39:19go for?
39:2025 glorious minutes.
39:21That's not long
39:22enough for Jack,
39:23is it?
39:23To a lesser thief,
39:24no.
39:25But for him
39:26enough time to
39:27snaffle the keys,
39:28disappear into the
39:29tunnels,
39:30pick the lock
39:31on the vault,
39:32let us in,
39:32you cover the
39:33door, we grab
39:34the chest,
39:34and we all set
39:35sail on the
39:37evening tide.
39:38Jack?
39:44It might just
39:45work.
39:52Is Lady Bella
39:53all right?
39:53Yes.
39:54Is my daughter
39:55issue?
39:55She will be
39:56fine.
39:57Women's problems,
39:58I fear.
39:59Oh, right,
40:01right, yeah,
40:02of course.
40:03I apologize,
40:05but I have to
40:06speak a truth
40:06I can no longer
40:07hold in sight.
40:11It's only been a
40:12day or so,
40:14and I must
40:15speak the truth.
40:21yes.
40:22A hundred times
40:23yes.
40:24I haven't asked
40:24yet.
40:25Sorry, yes,
40:25go ahead.
40:26What you doing?
40:27Put it out.
40:28Just a little
40:28sparkler.
40:29Your brain's just a
40:30little sparkler.
40:31Get rid of it,
40:32there's an hour and
40:33fifty to go.
40:40Lady Fanny.
40:48You're on your attack.
40:50It's coming from
40:51the town.
40:51Yes!
40:52Prince!
40:53I'm fine!
40:54You can't
40:54please!
40:55Shut up!
40:56Thank God!
40:57I need it!
40:58Yes!
40:59I can't join you!
41:00This is a rebellion!
41:01Quite possibly,
41:02sir,
41:02or the French.
41:04Gentlemen,
41:04protect your ladyfolk.
41:06Yes.
41:06Troops with me!
41:07Hurry!
41:08Hurry!
41:11What you gonna use,
41:13Dodge?
41:14Duff plow switch
41:15or the fox pocket
41:16scramble?
41:18No,
41:18I think I'll go
41:19for the blind
41:20turtle stretch.
41:21Take cover,
41:22sir!
41:23The coiling
41:24needs you
41:24more than I.
41:26Take me instead,
41:27you bastards!
41:28Here,
41:29come, sir.
41:29Come on.
41:30Easy now.
41:31Come in there,
41:32fireworks,
41:32an hour and a half
41:33earlier,
41:33a year of
41:34planning up the
41:34spout.
41:35You have
41:35pissed
41:36on my vision.
41:38What?
41:42It's very nice!
41:44You're authorized
41:44to kill on sight!
41:46If they're here,
41:47there's no one
41:48guarding Government
41:49House.
41:51Magic,
41:53you are
41:53Akaeus.
41:55You're a god!
41:56You're a weaver
41:57of magic!
41:58It's the wrong time!
41:59We haven't given
42:00Jack enough room!
42:01No,
42:01you don't know,
42:02Dodge!
42:02Now,
42:03shift your limbs,
42:04you moldy rogues!
42:05It's on!
42:06It's on!
42:06Byron!
42:08What did he say?
42:11What are you
42:11going to use
42:12on Oliver?
42:12He knows
42:13all our moves.
42:15Yeah,
42:16she's our
42:16main obstacle.
42:18I may need
42:19to adapt
42:19with him.
42:29Oh!
42:31I assume we're here
42:32for the same reason?
42:34The crackling?
42:35While the ballyhoo
42:36was going on,
42:37I thought I might
42:38snaffle the last of it.
42:39Exactly the same
42:40thought.
42:42Nolly,
42:42look,
42:42you've got
42:43gravy all down
42:44yourselves.
42:44Give me that.
42:46Thank you,
42:47Dodge.
42:48Still looking
42:48after me?
42:49My hands
42:50are greasier
42:50than a fairground
42:51piglet.
42:52I'm very proud
42:53of you.
42:54You've eschewed
42:55a life of
42:55unsavouriness
42:56with something
42:56entirely honourable.
42:58And although
42:59we occupy
42:59very different
43:00stations in life,
43:01I regard you
43:03with the affection
43:03of a brother.
43:06Right,
43:07I should
43:07return to the women.
43:30You know who did it,
43:32Dodge?
43:32Yeah, of course I did.
43:33What?
43:55It's a ruse.
43:58How hard was it,
43:59Dodge?
44:00What ruse did he use?
44:01The swaffling rooster
44:02or the giddy squirrel?
44:03More like
44:04the crackling
44:05pushover.
44:05Not familiar.
44:07It was almost
44:08too easy.
44:14Now we've been done!
44:15We have to go now!
44:18Come on.
44:19No!
44:31We're the bloody hells,
44:32monks!
44:33You go ahead.
44:34Where are you going?
44:35We've got to get to the boat!
44:36Just go!
44:47I assume you had something to do with this commotion.
44:52Go away or I will scream the place down.
44:54Come away with me tonight.
44:57I beg your pardon?
45:05Oh, buggery!
45:07Busy night, Mr. Fagin.
45:11Have you gone completely mad?
45:12Yes.
45:14I am completely mad.
45:17I need you.
45:20Well, yesterday you seemed to think otherwise.
45:23Well, yesterday I spoke with your mother
45:25and she told me that I would ruin your life
45:27and then she threatened to ruin mine.
45:33Oh.
45:37And you still want to run away with me?
45:39More than anything.
45:44Bill, when I wake up in the mornings,
45:48all I can think of is you.
45:52I close my eyes at night.
45:55And there you are.
46:00Bill, I cannot fashion a life without you in it.
46:04Are you telling me you love me, Jack Dawkins?
46:09I don't even know what that means.
46:11Yes, you do.
46:11You just said it in your own words.
46:15If you even feel half the way I do about you...
46:18I don't.
46:21You don't?
46:23I feel it ten times more.
46:26Well, then come away with me.
46:29We can't.
46:30We can.
46:31We can.
46:32There is a vessel leaving tonight
46:33bound for the Pacific Islands on the tide.
46:36Couples like us can live there happily.
46:39And we can set up our own hospital.
46:42You can work as a surgeon there.
46:46Why?
46:47What is stopping us?
47:13I'm dying, Onda.
47:20I'm dying, Onda.
47:22Jack?
47:36Yes.
47:40Yes.
47:52No one else.
47:54No...
47:55Yes.
47:57No...
48:05B
