The Artful Dodger Season 1 Episode 5 Engsub
Transcript
00:18They're here.
00:19The watch.
00:21Spirits.
00:22Ghosts.
00:23Oh, they're in here, all right.
00:25Turn off the lanterns, you'd see their eyes.
00:26They'll be watching us.
00:28They changed the watch in four minutes.
00:30Move.
00:32Forgive me, Father.
00:33It has been 14 hours since my last confession.
00:36Really?
00:37That long?
00:37You felt it couldn't wait till morning?
00:39No.
00:41These thoughts haunt my nights.
00:44I'm filled with an unquenchable fire, Father.
00:47A rage of such purity that all I crave is violent retribution.
00:53Hmm, yes, well, that's quite natural.
00:55Horde victory is a cesspit.
00:57A pox-ridden sewer.
01:01Everywhere I look, the stench of filth and scum.
01:05It is a stench below the very ground we walk on.
01:10Apouti, you stay here.
01:12We'll take the empty one up and bring the full one back down to you.
01:14So I'll be a lion down here?
01:17I hear ghosts.
01:18You hear ghosts?
01:19Gods.
01:20I can hear ghosts.
01:21I can hear you, your pillock.
01:23Quiet.
01:28I can hear you, your pillock.
01:40This woman into a debauched wastrel destined for the fires.
01:46I can see their eyes, looking at me now.
01:48Sorry, whose eyes?
01:49Sneering eyes.
01:50Ah, yes, them.
01:52Mocking me because she has given herself over to the devil.
01:56I refuse to be humiliated by these people.
02:00Well, God is challenging me to take a scythe and cut through this foul Ophylvium.
02:15All right.
02:16Now, it should be one of these barrels here.
02:18The smell will tell you.
02:23Apouti, do you have to do that?
02:24I can see your eyes.
02:26Yes, they're mine.
02:31I thought you said you don't do crime no more.
02:35Hide.
02:39I'll tell you, I heard voices.
02:59You tell me you didn't hear that.
03:26What is that you're in?
03:28Sardines, I think.
03:29Why didn't you just hide behind it?
03:31Why, it's in hindsight.
03:33I don't know.
03:42Over here.
03:43This is it, all right.
03:46Why, does it smell?
03:47It's the fermenting insides of a whale, so yes, it smells.
03:50And it smells bad, do it?
03:52What part of the fermenting insides of a whale do you not understand?
03:55Not good on smells.
03:57Lost all sense in the Taiwan explosion.
03:59Overdid the gunpowder.
04:00I thought you lost your hearing, then.
04:02No, that was Singapore.
04:03There's really not very much flash to your bang.
04:05Is there a flash bang?
04:06It's pretty much all bang.
04:08So now we're in the whale gizzard's game, then, eh?
04:10Do you eat this stuff?
04:11No.
04:12This is ambergris.
04:13Use it to make perfume.
04:15This barrel is worth its weight in silver.
04:43You gentlemen seem rather bedraggled by life's woes.
04:47Well, we heard things tonight.
04:50It means you can't even hear, you know.
04:52Well, I always say a tumbler of the old golden wallop lifts the heart.
04:58You just...
04:59Wait there.
05:03My sweet Lady Roddenford, two of your finest, if you please.
05:08And with what legal tender would you be paying for these drinks?
05:11You've got this solemn oath you will be paid in abundance, just as soon as we've managed
05:17to offload this bloody ambergris.
05:20And how will this miracle be achieved, then?
05:23I'm going to have my cove is replicate the exact texture and stink of this stuff so that
05:28not even the whale's wife will know that we've made the switch.
05:31And in the meantime, I goes and flogs the original ambergris for a very pretty return.
05:36Hmm.
05:38So how long will this take?
05:39Well, it will require the, shall we say, the capaciousness of time.
05:46A few days, a few days, waylaying these fine sailors' departure with some wholesome libations.
05:52Well, then you should probably know the capaciousness of time is leaving the bar.
05:57Yeah.
05:59Oh, buggery.
06:03Lads!
06:06Lads!
06:08Where are you headed?
06:09Oh, I've never been so happy to return to sea.
06:12The captain wants us to sail tomorrow on the King Tide.
06:15No, no, no, no, no, no, you can't.
06:17You know the old sailor's adage, sail on the morrow, expect much sorrow.
06:23Well, they'll be on the turn.
06:24No, they'll be not on the turn.
06:26They'll be bloody Clement, actually.
06:28I think.
06:30That's just a tickle of drizzle, that's all.
06:34That's, that's just...
06:35Seen your boy emerge from the bowels, with two others in a barrel.
06:39Oh, hello, here he is.
06:42Someone I need to know.
06:43No, only that our boy is back in the goodly fold.
06:47You've got something over it.
06:49No, not this time, no.
06:51It just seems that being spurned by a woman is a great boon to our profession.
06:57Just make sure he don't get careless and get caught.
07:02When your boy gets his blood up...
07:04Oi!
07:04Don't tell me how to run the Dodger.
07:17How do they turn this stuff into perfume?
07:20Seen Frenchies do it.
07:22Spices, herbs, alcohol.
07:25Stir it in a big drum.
07:26Steam it for a long time.
07:28Now listen, the natural order of the days ahead has changed direction in a positive and arguably negative light.
07:37English.
07:38The Duchess of Portland sails on tomorrow evening's tide.
07:41That's not near enough time to make a fake.
07:43Sadly, needs dictate we return the barrel to the docks tonight before they discover its absence.
07:48No, we do not cower.
07:50We stay coarse.
07:51You'll be discovered.
07:52There's no thieving to be done if they scrag us.
07:54We're not taking this back.
07:55You wanted me back in.
07:56Well, here I am.
07:57I am back.
07:59You can work on it in the morgue.
08:01It's already stinking the place out.
08:07Oi!
08:08Oi!
08:08Dodge!
08:09Dodge!
08:10Remember what I always told you as a little'un?
08:12A pickpocket needs to know when to pull out.
08:15And you always had to play it dangerous.
08:18And sometimes I had to take a gentle hand and nab you back from the edges of calamity.
08:23Well, now is one of them times.
08:24You can keep your hands to yourself.
08:28I want a win.
08:37You've been moping ever since Dr. Dawkins ruined our dinner.
08:40Come on.
08:41Up.
08:43Close them now.
08:45Immediately.
08:45No, there'll be none of that.
08:47Are you feeling any better?
08:49Yes, I'm completely cured.
08:51Close the curtains.
08:52I have a gift to lift your spirits.
08:53A guillotine.
08:54Better.
08:54A painting made with these very hands.
09:01It's a story of us.
09:02Our journey here.
09:03A house.
09:04A kangaroo.
09:06What are these?
09:07Tree trunks.
09:08I keep seeing these in my dreams.
09:10I'm rather drawn to them.
09:14Well, there's no story of us, Fanny.
09:17We're as much prisoners here as we were in London society.
09:21Dr. Sneed is here for you.
09:23No, for your sister.
09:25He wishes to take her shooting.
09:27Oh, this is an endless world of bogglingly stupid dinner parties.
09:33Men boasting all night and pretending somehow, against all evidence, they're cleverer than us.
09:38They are.
09:38That is why they're in positions of power.
09:40Fine.
09:41Yeah, stay at home all day, painting hideous scenes of trees.
09:51I'm sure she didn't mean to say those things, Fanny.
09:55She's not well, darling.
09:57Would you draw the curtains, please?
10:02Well done.
10:04Another bullseye.
10:05One of my many gifts.
10:07Here.
10:08Let me show you.
10:09Oh, I'm afraid I'm not really interested in shooting at thingies.
10:13Oh, none of that.
10:14I'm a modern man who happens to believe shooting is an essential skill for women, too.
10:19Here.
10:23Good.
10:24Yes, thank you.
10:26A little cock.
10:28Look down the barrel with an eye focused on the sight.
10:31And ever so gently...
10:35He's just...
10:36Oh!
10:38Woo!
10:41Mmm.
10:41Yes.
10:42Most exhilarating.
10:44Yes.
10:47I hear you keep requesting my presence.
10:50Oh!
10:52My dear friend, it is not fitting that a man of my standing should be treated thus.
10:59Yet here we are.
11:00I am the victim of a most egregious misunderstanding.
11:04Pray do tell.
11:06What you witnessed those long weeks ago was not as it appeared.
11:10I was working as an intermediary on your behalf, Lucien.
11:16I was endeavouring to protect your lady wife's spotless reputation.
11:22By giving her pubic crabs, you mean?
11:24No!
11:25Her condition was a consequence of inefficient laundry by an infected maid.
11:31Indeed.
11:32When you found us, I was rushing her to hospice.
11:36So I see I am in your debt.
11:38And the stolen soldiers pay?
11:40I swear before God, and all that is sacred, I have no idea how that ended up in our carriage.
11:46Oh, I do.
11:47You were set up.
11:49Indeed, I believe I know who was responsible.
11:53So you believe me?
11:55Oh, yes.
11:56Indeed.
11:58It was the young surgeon and his repugnant uncle.
12:02It was only a matter of time before I catch them in the act, and they too hang.
12:09True.
12:11Well, unless you can explain how you contracted the very same pubic crabs as my wife, you will
12:19most definitely meet the gallows on whatever charge I choose to conjure.
12:28It's no London, is it?
12:30Thank God for that.
12:31Yet it is still a place with enormous possibility, where one with drive and ambition may make oneself
12:36a great career for oneself.
12:38Yes, oneself being a male, of course.
12:39Oh, well, of course.
12:41But also, for the one whose companionship one will share with...
12:44Come on, just say things plainly.
12:46They're perfect pronouns for the task.
12:49I'm about to come into a considerable endowment.
12:52My brother, the Honorable James Sneed, has acquired a license in the Spice Islands, and
12:57through filial love, allowed me a ten percent share of his nutmeg trade.
13:04You're a sergeant.
13:05What do you use as nutmeg?
13:07My dear Bill, are you not surprised if it's worth?
13:08How sweet.
13:10A large canister of nutmeg would buy one a house in Mayfair.
13:15But surely being a surgeon is the most exciting thing in the world.
13:20Healing people, caring for people.
13:23It'd give anything to have such a profession.
13:25Oh, yeah, it's all right, I suppose.
13:27But now that I am to be chief surgeon upon the professor's retirement, one...
13:33I...
13:34I am in a position to offer a companion, a woman, a life of comfort and security.
13:43Oh, God, please don't.
13:45Belle.
13:46Until my brother offered me this, I did not feel in a position to speak openly.
13:50But now, I humbly seek your hand in marriage.
13:53Why?
13:55You must know how I feel.
13:56No, I am absolutely not the faintest.
13:59Sneed, I've known you for many years as a friend and a companion, and I never sensed anything deeper.
14:07You don't love me, do you?
14:10Love comes with settling and companionship.
14:13You must see our families and my position make this a perfect match.
14:22It is not yet a ring, but in its own way, far more valuable.
14:29Nutmeg.
14:31Yes, it's not an unpleasant smell.
14:33So do I have your blessing to go and converse with your father?
14:39Uh, well, one needs time for one to fully consider once.
14:47One.
14:59No, this isn't right.
15:01Amigli needs to be thicker, more solid.
15:04What have we tried?
15:04A crate of off oysters, sheep's testicles, some sea reed crab carcasses, and Samuel Dean's liver.
15:12Any wailer worth of salt will pick this as fake.
15:15It needs to be thicker.
15:17Doge, doge, doge, come here.
15:25I'm as bricky as anyone, there's nothing I like more than a bit of pilfering Dan Wright.
15:29Puts a sparkle in the eyes.
15:31But if we can't match this by the turn of this evening's tide, they'll be on to us.
15:36They're on to us anyway.
15:38And the moment we open our mouths, the moment they realise we can't even read some toff Latin nonsense, we're
15:44not even worth sitting at their table.
15:45What's that got to do with anything?
15:48Look, the toffs will never accept us and neither do we accept the toffs, that's the human condition.
15:53But don't get us hanged because you're in a huff about your fancy skirt.
16:00What to hell with it then?
16:02Can't even stand the smell of that stuff.
16:04Oh, come on, it's no worse than the Thames at low tide.
16:10See, my todgers give me all kinds of grief, you see, and we're sailing tonight.
16:16You have grassy pox, and I want you to place this weight on the end of your member, thus allowing
16:25the suiting of pus.
16:27Then keep bathing it in mercury and arsenic for the long voyage ahead.
16:32Next.
16:35Oh.
16:36What is wrong with your head, sailor?
16:38Navigator.
16:40In the eyes.
16:41Right, pull them down.
16:43I was struck.
16:45The Duchess of Portland's full sailboomb snapped in the storm off the northern coast.
16:49Right.
16:51Next.
16:52Judge.
16:53While you're busy here, now be a good moment to nudge that battle shipward.
16:57Yes, fine.
16:58Do it.
16:59Abstrabismus.
17:03Now you eat some oranges, you're developing scurvy.
17:06Roll it back, lads.
17:17Reserve me, sir.
17:18Is there naught you can do?
17:20Is me lively?
17:21Unless you doctors can fix me, the captain has no choice but use another navigator.
17:26I'm sorry.
17:27There is naught one can do about it.
17:28You will need to purchase a cane.
17:33Listen.
17:35Listen.
17:37You.
17:38What is the grave digger wheeling out?
17:39Samuel Dean's organs.
17:43He's a very large gentleman.
17:45Malodorous in life, apparently.
17:59Oh, sir.
18:00Sir, sir.
18:02A word.
18:03If I may.
18:04Not now.
18:05I just overheard your sad conversation with that surgeon just now.
18:09And though I'm not much given to emotion, I was moved.
18:13And you know why I do not wish to converse.
18:15I would ask you, don't lose hope.
18:18I think you should talk to this other surgeon.
18:19He's much better qualified and he's done this operation a hundred times.
18:23Maybe two hundred times and with great success.
18:26Now, it would mean a very minor delay before the Duchess of Portland set sail, but...
18:31If you are serious, the captain is a relative, I may yet convince him of a need.
18:39When can I meet this surgeon?
18:40You just leave it with me, all right?
18:43Oh, hang on.
18:44Back, boys.
18:44Come on.
18:46Back, back, back, back, back, back.
19:02Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
19:04You need a steady hand.
19:08Now, listen.
19:08They do say a man cannot change tides or oceans, but I, Norbert Fagin, have managed to delay the
19:16departure of the Duchess of Portland by three days.
19:21How?
19:23What have you got us into?
19:25Nothing.
19:26You might have to perform a very minor operation.
19:40I'm sorry, I can't help you.
19:48The man is completely cross-eyed.
19:50He can't even see a hand in front of his own face, although he does have a very good
19:53view of his right ear.
19:54I thought this is what you wanted.
19:56Don't you see the beauty?
19:57It buys us time.
19:59How many times did you tell him I've done the surgery?
20:01Once.
20:03Tell a lie twice.
20:05Do you know how difficult, how precise this procedure is?
20:08If he moves, I blind him.
20:11You need to have more confidence in your artfulness.
20:14This is beyond my skill.
20:17Nothing is beyond the Dodger's skill.
20:22Backslang it, lads.
20:23Dodger's gonna wobble in.
20:37I demand to know why you were seeing my patient.
20:39I'd already made it abundantly clear his condition is inoperable.
20:43You wanted a second opinion?
20:44From you?
20:46Please.
20:48Wouldn't you want a second opinion?
20:49If some spoiled, pompous, upper-class prat with only basic medical knowledge told you
20:54your career was over?
20:55Never cross me again on matters medical, Dawkins.
20:58I don't know how things were done on your side of the city, but that is not how we do
21:02things here.
21:04You will not operate on that man.
21:08Oh, and if I find that foul stench has anything to do with you or your illiterate friends,
21:13I will see you are all soundly punished.
21:15That's so strange, because, you see, we all thought that that smell was coming from you.
21:29All right.
21:31I will do it.
21:35All right.
21:36Back inside, lads.
21:38Bring that cat to the morgue.
21:40It's on.
21:48I'm not hungry, Fanny.
21:51Look, have Johnny or another picture?
21:55I'll eat it cold.
22:08Hello?
22:11Have you completely lost your sense?
22:12Quite possibly.
22:14If you have come to apologise for your behaviour from now weeks ago, then you must do it formally
22:20and at a proper time, and I will consider whether or not to accept it.
22:22Now, please go.
22:23Strabismus surgery, what do you know about it?
22:25What does a squalid criminal need to know about strabismus surgery?
22:27So you don't know what it is, then?
22:28Of course I do.
22:29It's the realignment of the eye.
22:30Yeah, I knew you'd know.
22:31Would you happen to have, like, some medical textbook that might show me...
22:35Yes.
22:35Stay here.
22:35Actually, no, come.
22:37Got valuable items in here.
22:38You're going to eat the soup?
22:39Okay.
22:41Apparently not.
22:44What's that you're holding?
22:46Apparently a tree.
22:51This way.
23:18You first performed in the 1830s.
23:22by John Homer Dicks.
23:23The surgeon needs only three instruments.
23:26A fine hook to elevate the conjunctiva, a bent probe to isolate the tendon, and scissors
23:31for opening up the conjunctiva.
23:32Pictures.
23:33I need pictures.
23:36Yeah.
23:41It is so dangerous.
23:43Yeah, but you love that, don't you?
23:48Can you do it?
23:54I think it is important for both of us that we clear the air about what transpired.
24:06I admit that I said things in that moment that I now regret.
24:11And I'm equally sure that you said things that now, in the cold light of day, you wish, but...
24:15Are you feeling any better, sister?
24:17Yes, fine.
24:19See?
24:19You eat and you're well again.
24:21You know, you've had eight turns this past month.
24:23I do count them.
24:24I'm fine.
24:25I'm fine.
24:25Go to bed.
24:36What was that awful smell?
24:39Fagin.
24:40It smells like ambergris.
24:43Like what?
24:45No.
24:45No, wait.
24:47Are you going to apologise to me or not?
24:50No.
24:51What for?
24:51For the way you spoke to me.
24:57I was hurt.
25:00And I'm sorry if I spoke to you abruptly.
25:05But I don't really know how to talk to women.
25:06I've never found a need to.
25:08I'm similarly rarely interested in anything a man has to say.
25:12And I forgive you.
25:15Good.
25:16Well, don't invite me to any more stupid dinner parties.
25:19Your lot will never accept me.
25:21Why would you want them to accept you?
25:22You have no idea how boring we all are.
25:27Well, not all of you.
25:36Here you go, sir.
25:45Can you just cover your right eye for me, please?
25:50How many fingers am I holding up?
25:53Two.
25:55Lower your arm?
25:58Now how many?
26:00Four.
26:04You have almost no vision in your right eye either, do you?
26:08Shapes mainly.
26:10Left was me last good eye.
26:13Tell me why you like being a sailor.
26:15With respect, Mum.
26:16I'm not just a sailor.
26:17I'm a navigator.
26:20Went to sea when I was 12.
26:22Worked on 100 ships.
26:24Most of them terrible.
26:25But I learnt, Mum.
26:27Everything there is to know about.
26:29The oceans.
26:31The currents.
26:32The winds and the stars.
26:36You have no idea what it feels like when those around trust their fortune to you.
26:43You should know my colleague is an inveterate liar.
26:48And not only have I never performed this surgery before, but nobody in this country has.
26:54I'll say.
26:55No.
26:57What I can tell you is that the condition in your right eye will only continue to get worse with
27:02time,
27:02to the point where you might never see again.
27:05Now, if we try and we fail here tonight, then you will certainly lose your vision in both eyes.
27:11However, on the slim chance that we succeed,
27:17you might get to navigate again.
27:23So what were you waiting for?
27:31Strap him to the table, please.
27:32As tight as you can.
27:38I need your help for this one, pal.
27:39Can you pass me the hook, please?
27:55That's it. Good.
28:02I'll hold this right to it.
28:04Yeah?
28:08Well, still.
28:22You think it worked?
28:26It won't now until we remove the bandages.
28:34A government house.
28:35I heard your sister say that this was your eighth attack.
28:38What does she mean by that?
28:40She imagines things.
28:45What the navigator said.
28:49Did that sound true for you?
28:51It was the greatest day of my life when I got promoted to sub-lieutenant.
28:56They gave me my own bed.
28:59I'd never had my own bed before.
29:03And my own room.
29:07It must be wonderful to be at sea.
29:13Travel the world.
29:18It was.
29:19It was.
29:20It was the best.
29:22And the worst of times.
29:27I saw all kinds of things I didn't even think were possible.
29:33Wild animals.
29:37Festivals in Hong Kong.
29:38I saw this giant paper dragon with 50 people under it.
29:43And as they moved, this dragon appeared to dance and breathe fire.
29:48It's quite amazing.
30:05It was.
30:15Where the devil is talking?
30:20Lady Belle.
30:22You can scarcely believe my eyes.
30:26Lady Belle, I insist you return to Government House immediately.
30:29And we will discuss this later.
30:31Possibly not.
30:36I have always known you to be a reprehensible, arrogant upstart
30:40with no respect for your betters.
30:42I have enormous respect for my betters.
30:44It's just there is no evidence around here.
30:46You have directly performed an operation I had forbidden you to do
30:49that I specifically said was not a safe operation in the patient's interest.
30:53And I agree with your diagnosis.
30:55A surgeon of your skill levels need would have been impossible.
30:59I aim to be head surgeon here in two months.
31:03You will no longer have a role here and I will ensure you have it nowhere else in the country.
31:09You can crawl back to your own kind, Dawkins.
31:18What's that?
31:33Clot!
31:33Is that how you fight in Mayfair?
31:37I believe the sulfuric miasma permeating the town is in reality manifested from below, not above.
31:44But that would be unusual, wouldn't it, Captain Gates?
31:46What we are smelling now is evil's canker writ large.
31:49Perhaps get the captain a chair, Father.
31:51I am fine where I stand.
31:52I'm more inclined to the view that the smell emanates from the direction of the sewerage pipes
31:57that the governor approved last year, gravity being what it is.
32:01Hmm. Hmm. What sense, my darling?
32:05Well, in the sense that the raw sewerage now flows and pools in the center of town, not away from
32:12it.
32:12Well, hard to say, one way or the other.
32:14No, it's not a riddle, darling. Let me speak to the engineers.
32:18Engineers cannot fix evil.
32:21Have you heard from your lovely wife lately, Captain Gaines?
32:27She's still visiting relatives.
32:31Yeah, yes, well...
32:32Thank you, Captain Gaines.
32:39Oh, um, would a possible solution be to run the pipes from the center of town into the harbor,
32:45where it will have no effect?
32:46No.
32:48The most exciting news, there is to be a duel in town.
32:51Don't be silly, duels are illegal.
32:53Not necessarily.
32:54I rather think it might be over moi.
32:56It does eliminate one possible suitor.
32:57But what does one wear to a duel?
33:00Black is foreshadowing.
33:01But green?
33:02Who is involved?
33:04Yah!
33:12Rainsford!
33:16You cannot do this.
33:18It was as much my fault as his.
33:20The man has pushed me too far.
33:22We will settle it like gentlemen.
33:24But one of us will.
33:26Pistols at dawn.
33:29Then I flatly refuse to marry you.
33:32Enjoy your stupid nutmeg.
33:35Lady Belle!
33:44There's no glimmer in this.
33:46There's no glimmer anywhere.
33:50We've got it!
33:51We've got it!
33:52We've got it!
33:54It's like Nully, Walpole's spleen and the cow tribe, but we got there in the end.
33:58It's just a sample with perfect smell, match and luck.
34:01Wonderful.
34:03Wonderful.
34:04Now you can stop buggering about with them swords and listen to this.
34:08I have procured a buyer, one 50 place bellers, a man so unscrupulous he makes me skinnich,
34:15and he is prepared to pay 80 florins for the genuine article.
34:19Great, they've got plenty of money to celebrate and they teach us through the lesson.
34:24Look, if you kill this toff, they'll hang you, and if he kills you, they won't care.
34:28But I will be back on the chain gang.
34:31You idiot!
34:33You absolute dunderhead!
34:35Oh, at last!
34:36At last!
34:36Someone who sees what I see!
34:40What were you thinking?
34:42I am tired of being treated like some mangy dog!
34:45Well, you are not a mangy dog!
34:47And he's an idiot for treating you like one!
34:50Apologise and withdraw!
34:52Please!
34:53And bow down to his arrogance?
34:56No.
34:56And I'm not going to kill him.
34:58I will barely scratch the pompous kid.
35:00Don't worry.
35:01I spent ten years in the Navy.
35:03I am a master with a sword.
35:05Good.
35:06Because it is pistols.
35:08Pistols at dawn.
35:10And he is a master shot.
35:22I do not have time to fuss about missing warehouse stock.
35:27No.
35:27With respect, sir.
35:28But this barrel is worth a king's fortune.
35:32And now it's as empty as me head.
35:35I need you to arrest two men.
35:36Will these two do?
35:39On what charges, milady?
35:40On charges of planning to be utterly stupid and fight a duel.
35:43Who would be doing that?
35:45Two young surgeons.
35:48Really?
35:49So Jack Dawkins is involved?
35:52Well, I can only charge him if it goes ahead.
35:55Intention is not a crime, sadly.
35:57The benefit for me on such occasions is that after the duel,
36:01there's usually only one to arrest.
36:03I hear Sneed is a fine shot.
36:05Sir!
36:07It was ambergris in the barrels.
36:09And our skipper will have both our heads if it's not back on there when we sail.
36:13Ambergris?
36:15I imagine the smell would be devilish.
36:18I've never noticed.
36:19I've never noticed, no.
36:20Like the smell emanating from the hospital.
36:24Well, this is turning into a fine day.
36:26Good lady, I...
36:29I'd love to help you boys, but the old back isn't really the friend it used to be.
36:33What's in the barrel?
36:34Looks heavy.
36:36It's food for the widows, milady.
36:39How very admirable of you all.
36:41And you, delivering it in person.
36:44Can one try a mouthful?
36:46Their need is greater, milady.
36:49Well, I only ask because I heard Captain Gaines is currently heading towards the wharf
36:52to locate a missing barrel of something called, what's it, ambergris.
36:57But I know you wouldn't be so utterly stupid as to risk everything for that.
37:02No, Captain Gaines will have no issue with good men engaged in a charitable cause.
37:08Hmm.
37:10Lobster bisque.
37:16Move.
37:26Come on.
37:36Unlock it.
37:47Smash it.
38:08It's this one, sir.
38:09Right here.
38:10Empty as...
38:11Remove the lid.
38:19I swear to God, just less than an hour ago, it was completely empty.
38:22This is black magic.
38:24This place is full of devils.
38:26We heard them crying out.
38:30Flog them both for wasting my time.
38:34No, sir!
38:35No!
38:37Sir!
38:48Now, how many fingers?
38:51Forty-seven.
38:54Thank you, Sergeant.
38:55You're welcome.
38:58You know, being blind there, it hightens other senses.
39:02I swear I smelled something.
39:04Yeah, not our spills smell.
39:08But now you have restored my sight.
39:11The smell seems gone.
39:16There you go, Pootie.
39:18Flashy.
39:19Well done, my friend.
39:21I shall see you all in the morrow.
39:29What's this idea about our boy fighting a duel tomorrow?
39:34Didn't take him long to get reckless now, did it?
39:37Now, I've got to go slash some other geezer's throat just to keep Jackie boy safe till we need to.
39:42Yeah, that's a very good idea.
39:43And make Dodger the main suspect.
39:46Get back down in the drains.
39:48Let me deal with this.
39:50If he dies tomorrow, all our plans start with him.
39:55Remember that?
40:15I've never witnessed a duel before.
40:17I've always wanted to.
40:18I've seen a pugilist batter another pugilist to death.
40:23And I rather enjoyed that.
40:24Where are you going to shoot him?
40:27I just want it over.
40:29However this turns out, I am mostly grateful to have known you.
40:32Life won't be the same without you, you idiot.
40:38It's as much as a priest officiated a duel.
40:44Now, for God's sake, don't toy with him like you did with that Belgian in Antwerp, because that was horrible.
40:50And go for the heart, no more shooting in the face.
40:53A lot of these toffs prefer an open casket.
40:55Ah!
40:56The Rottingford dueling pistol, your favorite, isn't it?
41:01Gentlemen, are you prepared to settle this amicably?
41:04Don't you dare.
41:07Oh, wonderful.
41:08Now, with that being the case, seconds, ensure the weapons are loaded.
41:17Has, uh, Dr. Sneed made his funeral arrangements?
41:21He didn't believe that would be necessary.
41:23Oh, really?
41:24Well, we can always talk about that afterwards.
41:30You must take ten paces each turn and fire on my signal.
41:35All clear?
41:35Then, let us proceed with the festive proceedings.
41:40Hmm.
41:41Come.
41:50Yeah.
41:53Yeah.
42:03One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!
42:21I'm told, rather unsportingly, that this town could not survive without us two surgeons.
42:30Lower your weapons.
42:37Now, the rules are very clear.
42:40In circumstances such as these, these seconds must assume their place.
42:45What?
42:47Hold up. Is that a thing? I don't think that's a thing.
42:51No, no, Father, this is madness.
42:52Oh, it's all right. I don't think either is a suitable suitor.
42:54No, this is not how I want to view a duel.
42:57Now, in England, the second is usually thanked kindly for his time,
43:01and then very often financially compensated for all the emotional stress.
43:06Everybody goes home happy. It's lovely.
43:08No, the governor is right.
43:10I'm from a good family, dating back to 1256.
43:13I withdraw my allegation.
43:14Please, please, stop this. I apologise unreservedly.
43:17No, too late.
43:19Stop this.
43:20Honour must be served.
43:26Don't you?
43:30Don't you?
43:55One, two, three, four.
44:00Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, fire!
44:30Oh, this one looks inoperable, Dr. Dawkins.
44:32He will need a cane.
44:34Then if he survives.
44:37What we have here is a man injured in his quest for honor.
44:44He is also my head surgeon and will replace me in the future.
44:52For this reason, it requires the steadiest of hands
44:58as I attempt a very dangerous procedure
45:01of amputating his leg, a foot above the knee.
45:07Now, if you'll just bite down, Lovinus.
45:11Tim, to the dust!
45:13Help me.
45:14Half an hour ago, you wanted to kill me,
45:16so this does beg the question.
45:18What would you do in my business?
45:19I'll give you your job back.
45:20I guarantee, just please, don't let him amputate.
45:26Yes.
45:30Here, Puff.
45:31Let me wipe your brow.
45:34Apologies, gentlemen.
45:36There will be no show today.
45:37As you can see, the professor is overcome with emotion.
45:41Later today, we'll be amputating Spencer Shaw's arm,
45:43which will be much more exciting, so come back for that.
45:45Really?
45:47Not every time you say it.
45:52Now, I assume you'll be maintaining
45:54your strong stance against anesthetic.
45:56I give it to me, Danny.
46:01Thank you, Heidi.
46:01I won't need you for this one.
46:02You can turn to the professor.
46:05Three trained professionals are in this room.
46:07One is the patient, the other is me.
46:10And one is a complete fool?
46:13Yes.
46:14Quite possibly.
46:25I'm sorry, I can't remember.
46:26Which leg am I cutting off again?
46:28Oh, Doc.
46:30Surely you're not removing his leg?
46:34No.
46:35Just removing the bullet, unfortunately.
46:38It's me, I'd be shaving off his eyebrow.
46:45You made the first incision.
46:46You made the first incision.
