01:18Just a little walk, Phil.
01:21What, a bit of pesto in your pocket?
01:22Ow, you nut skulls, you wild beasts!
01:25Have a care there!
01:27Now put me down softly.
01:29Softly!
01:31There we are.
01:32Judy, shake me up.
01:35George, my old friend.
01:37I'm no friend of yours, and you know it.
01:40What do you want?
01:42No need to take that home with me, George.
01:44I've come to take an inventory of all your goods prior to taking possession of the premises.
01:49Now what do you say to that?
01:51Oi, steady on.
01:53Judy, Judy, Judy, he's gonna kill me!
01:55Get me out of here!
01:56You'll regret this, George.
01:58Mr. Tolkien Hall will hear of this!
02:15Shot through the heart.
02:33Take a seat, Mr. Clam.
02:39And a drop of this.
02:42You've had a shock.
02:43At least I hope you have.
02:48Go on.
02:50He don't mind now.
02:53Shot through the heart late last evening, I should say.
02:57No weapon on the scene.
02:58So we can surmise that this was no accident.
03:02What we are looking at is a murder.
03:05Are you with me, Mr. Clam?
03:07It's a terrible thought, Inspector.
03:09It's a terrible thought, and it's a terrible thing.
03:14This is very good wine.
03:19No sign of a struggle.
03:21No sign of a robbery.
03:24So, I deduce, correct me if I'm going astray, Mr. Clam,
03:29that this murder was commended by someone who knew Mr. Tolkien Hall
03:32and didn't like him.
03:34That could be quite a long list.
03:38Come on, old fellow.
03:39This is no time for discretion.
03:42Would you care to give me any names?
03:49There's a man.
03:50I don't accuse him.
03:52No, no, I understand.
03:53Come on.
03:58He goes under the name...
04:01of Sergeant George.
04:03I know the man.
04:06He felt he was being persecuted by my...
04:10employer.
04:11And was he?
04:13That's not for me to say, Inspector.
04:16But he has been here more than once,
04:18and uttered threats.
04:20Threats?
04:22That's serious.
04:23And as I was leaving last night,
04:26I nearly ran into him, just outside.
04:29And did he go up?
04:31That I can't say, Inspector.
04:33It's all right.
04:37Anyone else you'd like to mention?
04:40Not that I can think of.
04:45Mr. Tolkien Hall's clerk.
04:47He was most insistent on seeing you in person, Celeste.
04:51For what reason?
04:52He didn't give a reason, Celeste,
04:53but said it was a matter of the utmost importance.
04:57I will see him.
05:00Have things come to such a pass that Tolkien Hall now sends his clerk,
05:03instead of attending upon us himself?
05:06It would seem so.
05:09Mr. Clam.
05:12Well, Mr. Clam?
05:16Celeste.
05:17Lady Deadlock.
05:21My master is dead.
05:24What?
05:27Tolkien Hall dead?
05:29Well, how was he taken in?
05:33I'm very sorry to say that he was murdered, sir.
05:37Shot through the heart in his office late last evening.
05:44Shot?
05:45Tolkien Hall shot in his own office?
05:49Tolkien Hall murdered?
05:52This is an outrage.
05:53Tolkien Hall murdered?
05:54Then none of us is safe.
05:55Is there a policeman in charge of the investigation?
05:58Yes, Mr. Bucket, sir.
06:00Send Mr. Bucket to me.
06:01I intend to see to it that the ruffians who perpetrated this outrage against civilization
06:05suffer the full majesty of the law.
06:14Sorry, sir.
06:15No one to go up without Inspector Bucket to say so.
06:18What's Inspector Bucket got to do with it?
06:19He's in charge of the investigation.
06:21What investigation?
06:22None of your business.
06:23Now move along, sir.
06:24Now move along yourself.
06:25I've got urgent business with my solicitor.
06:28You tell him it's Mr. Smallweed.
06:30Constable!
06:31Let him come in.
06:32I should think so now.
06:34Make way!
06:35Oh, steady.
06:36Steady.
06:37You're shaking me the splinters.
06:39Oh.
06:40Oh, my bones.
06:42Set him down.
06:43Oh.
06:45And keep the rest of them out.
06:48Now, what is this?
06:53Oh, Lord.
06:56Oh, my eye.
06:59He don't look well.
07:00Nor would you if you'd been shot through the heart.
07:03Mr. Smallweed, right?
07:06Not had the pleasure before, but heard a deal about you.
07:09I know, done this.
07:11Oh, yes?
07:12Who, then?
07:13What's it worth?
07:16Three years' hard labour for withholding evidence if you don't cough up my friend.
07:20Oh, I'm your friend, am I?
07:22Don't sound very friendly to me.
07:23Come on, then.
07:24Who's the murderer?
07:25A man called George.
07:27Some called him Sergeant George.
07:30He threatened to kill me not an hour ago.
07:32Aimed his pistol right between my eyes.
07:35I've heard him threaten to kill Mr. Tolkien all in scores of times.
07:39Scores of times?
07:40In this very room, sir.
07:42And you'd swear to that in court, would you?
07:44I would.
07:45Circumstantial evidence, Mr. Smallweed.
07:47Not conclusive.
07:49Interesting, though.
07:53And what brought you here this morning?
07:54Oh, of course.
07:57The shock me and he drove it from my mind.
08:00Mr. Tolkien's been holding some letters of mine, you see.
08:03I'll come to collect them.
08:04Oh?
08:05And what letters were these?
08:07Private letters.
08:08From a lady.
08:09My property, though.
08:11I'll just look them out and take them, shall you?
08:13No.
08:14You shan't, Mr. Smallweed.
08:17Constable!
08:17You can't do that!
08:19I demand my property!
08:20Take them away.
08:21This is an outrage!
08:22I demand justice!
08:23Oh, my bones!
08:25Have a care thee, you brimstone beasts!
08:27I'll have the law on you!
08:30We are the law, Mr. Smallweed.
08:35Caddy Jeremy's had her baby.
08:38Caddy Turvey Drop, I should say, now.
08:42Oh, dear.
08:44What is it?
08:45The baby's very poorly.
08:48And Caddy's ill herself.
08:50I think I should go to her.
08:52By all means.
08:53You think it'll do a good?
08:54She thinks so.
08:57Then, um...
08:58Let us all stay out in London.
09:00I've some business I could be attending to.
09:08Oh, Miss Somersen, I'm ever so glad you're here.
09:11I've been very anxious about Caddy.
09:13No need for anxiety, not at all.
09:15My own personal physician, Mr. Growler, is attending her.
09:19Good day to you, ladies.
09:21You are welcome.
09:23I have been treating both mother and child with my black mixture four times a day.
09:27It's powerful purgative action.
09:29We'll soon see them both right.
09:31Bums out the badness, do you see?
09:34Indeed, I have frequent recourse to it myself, to keep out the winter cold.
09:38Also very beneficial, you might be interested to know, for colic and gout.
09:43And may be rubbed gently into the skin in cases of scabies and pustules.
09:49Burns out the badness, every case.
09:53I think perhaps it would do me good if I could keep it down.
09:59I don't think it can be right to treat the mother and baby with the same mixture.
10:03Oh?
10:04And what do you think you know about the matter, Miss?
10:07Enough to say that your service is no longer required, Mr. Growler.
10:10Thank you for your attendance.
10:11You may send in your bill.
10:12Oh, I see.
10:14Hoity-toity.
10:15Well, I don't stay where I'm not wanted.
10:17But I may say my black mixture has never been called into question before.
10:21Good day to you.
10:25That's really sure.
10:26Quite sure.
10:27I'm going to send for Mr. Woodcourt.
10:30Mr. Bucket.
10:32I want you to understand the importance of this inquiry.
10:35Murder is always important, Sir Lester Deadlock, Baronet.
10:40Sir Lester will do perfectly well, Bucket.
10:44Mr. Tulkinghorn, you must understand, was a very true unloyals for him.
10:49I wish to offer a reward of a hundred guineas to anyone who can provide information leading to the conviction
10:55of the Blackguard who perpetrated this vile deed.
10:59My wife, Lady Deadlock, has been greatly shaken by this.
11:03Murder's a shaking thing, Sir Lester Deadlock, Baronet.
11:08Not sure a reward will be necessary, though.
11:12You mean you've identified the culprit already?
11:15We have a suspect.
11:17Well then, for God's sake, arrest the man.
11:19The thing is, we have to be sure we've got the right man.
11:22The evidence so far is only circumstantial.
11:25It may be him, it may not.
11:28I suppose you have to consider every possibility.
11:31Exactly, my lady.
11:33But the man may escape, may leave the country.
11:35Not this man, sir. He won't do that.
11:38Don't worry, sir. Don't worry, my lady.
11:40We've got our eye on him.
11:43Sir Lester Deadlock.
11:45Baronet.
11:57Is she very bad?
12:00I shouldn't be too anxious.
12:03She has a good constitution.
12:06And the human body has a wonderful capacity to heal itself.
12:11She's near the crisis now.
12:14I did do right to send that man away.
12:18Absolutely right.
12:22Your friend was lucky that you came when you did.
12:49Miss Clare, this is a pleasant surprise.
12:52I came to ask the directions to Mr. Carstine's lodgings.
12:57I'm not sure.
12:59It is in Mr. Carstine's interest to be distracted just at present.
13:04I think I know him better than you do, Mr. Bowles.
13:06So will you direct me, please?
13:08With the greatest respect, Miss Clare.
13:11If he were to leave Orff now,
13:13it might bring about a reversal of his fortunes.
13:16And of yours.
13:18I haven't come to persuade him to leave you, Mr. Bowles.
13:22Though I wish he would leave you.
13:24I've come to see him because I love him.
13:28Now will you direct me?
13:30Nothing would give me greater pleasure.
14:01Richard, what a miserable place.
14:04Not now you're here.
14:11Might have a change of heart, Governor.
14:13Mr. Tonkinhorn?
14:14I don't think so.
14:16No heart there at all.
14:20And his friend, Mr. Smallweed.
14:23Just a little ball of bitterness and spite.
14:31I'm sorry, Phil.
14:32I said I'd look after you.
14:33And I haven't been able to.
14:35Don't you worry about me, Governor.
14:38Most soldiers never die, eh?
14:44Maybe we'll go back to the country.
14:45How would that be?
14:46I couldn't do it, Phil.
14:48Turn up like a bad penny after all these years.
14:51No.
14:52Still got a bit of pride left.
14:56What have you got it wrong all along?
14:58What have they been waiting for you
14:59and longing for you all this time?
15:00Not them.
15:02I'm the black sheep of the family I am.
15:05Always was.
15:06Always will be.
15:10You know what?
15:13It's my birthday today.
15:15Is it?
15:19I'm sorry, Phil.
15:21But I've ruined that as well.
15:25Very good of you to invite me, sir.
15:27On such an auspicious occasion.
15:28Well, we think very highly of you here, Mr Woodcourt.
15:31Don't we, Esther?
15:33Indeed we do.
15:34He saved Caddy's life.
15:37If you please, sir.
15:38Mr Carston.
15:41Rick, my boy.
15:42You are welcome.
15:45Come.
15:46Shake hands.
15:47I'm very glad you're here.
15:49Well, for Ada's birthday.
15:54Woodcourt.
15:55It's done.
15:56It's done.
15:57Well, shall we sit down?
16:00Yes, sir?
16:08Happy birthday.
16:10Happy birthday.
16:12Very handsome of you, Governor.
16:16About a bit of pie, this.
16:17It's a good bit of pie, Governor.
16:19We're not done for yet, eh?
16:20No, no, no.
16:21Not by no means.
16:31It's very good to be sitting down at table with you again, Rick.
16:35I came because Ada particularly wanted me to, sir.
16:38I wouldn't have come for any other reason.
16:44Well, let's not dwell on our differences now.
16:47I cannot help but dwell upon them, sir, when...
16:50No, I have to say it.
16:51When you stand between me and my rightful claim...
16:54No, Richard.
16:55To what is mine.
16:56Not now.
16:59Not tonight.
17:00Please.
17:02For my sake.
17:07For your sake, then.
17:10I'm only beg your pardon, sir.
17:12Well, just...
17:13You're forgiven.
17:37You're right.
17:37I'm truly sorry.
17:40I'm not sure all this wretched business matter on Ada's birthday.
17:42Not sure all this wretched business matter on Ada's birthday.
17:44Ada, I beg your pardon.
17:46I beg everybody's pardon.
17:49Do you ever feel, Whitcourt, as though you're lost in a fog...
17:52...and suddenly everything becomes clear?
17:55I wish I could see my way to making a living a little more clearly.
17:59Perhaps I could be if some helped you.
18:01Could I, perhaps, secure your post in the North Country, where you nearly went before?
18:05Or overseas, indeed.
18:07You should begin to think that you want to see the back of me, Mr. Jandice.
18:10No, no, no, not at all.
18:11But, uh, things seem to be more difficult for you in London.
18:14They are, sir.
18:15But I'm not ready to leave yet.
18:18There's far too much to keep me here.
18:28Well, here's to Ada.
18:3021 years old today.
18:31To Ada.
18:32To Ada.
18:37Now you're 21, you know.
18:39You can do whatever you want.
18:40I can, can't I?
18:42And I shall.
18:47How do you think Richard looked?
18:50I think he's grown thinner.
18:53He ate almost nothing, Ada.
18:55I do love him so, Esther.
18:58I loved him too.
19:01But not in the same way, I think.
19:06Mr. Woodcourt looked very well this evening.
19:08Yes.
19:10And he thought you looked very well too.
19:14I believe he barely took his eyes off you.
19:16Ridiculous nonsense, Ada.
19:18You like him too, don't you?
19:19I admire him as a doctor.
19:21And I like him very much as a friend.
19:23And I hope he thinks of me as a friend and that's all.
19:27How can you be so blind, Esther?
19:29Anyone can see he's in love with you.
19:31Stop that.
19:31I don't want to hear it.
19:32Why not?
19:37Perhaps you should know that Mr. John Dyson and I are engaged to be married.
19:45I don't believe you.
19:48How long have you been engaged to him?
19:51Quite a while now.
19:54And he never told me?
19:57He kept it a secret.
20:00Mr. Dow, could you?
20:02I'm sorry.
20:04He wanted us to be absolutely sure it wasn't a mistake before we told anybody.
20:09And I?
20:09Yes.
20:11Quite sure.
20:13Present.
20:14Arms.
20:17At the ready.
20:19In your own time.
20:22Advance.
20:28Oh, God.
20:29Give it some.
20:35Oh, God.
20:39My word.
20:40Steady on, George.
20:42What's all this?
20:45Bit of entertainment, Mike.
20:48Phil.
20:49It's his birthday.
20:50Oh, I see.
20:52Savage amusement.
20:55Is that a bottle of wine?
20:57I believe it is.
20:58Will you take a glass, Mr. Bucket?
21:00I will, George.
21:01Thank you kindly.
21:04I was just coming down the street, you know, and I thought, there's George's place.
21:08I wonder how he's getting on.
21:09Pretty bad, Mr. Bucket.
21:11And that's a fact.
21:12We're broken.
21:14Unless the long and short of it.
21:15No, not a fine strong fella like you.
21:18Never.
21:19I won't hear of it.
21:26Not bad wine, this.
21:28Not as good as Mr. Tolkien owns.
21:30But the company's better here.
21:33Here's to you.
21:34Happy birthday, and may you have many more.
21:37Thank you, sir.
21:43I now do a less pleasant matter.
21:46Friendship is friendship, but Judy is Judy.
21:49I'll never want the two to clash if I can help it.
21:52So I hope you won't think any of the worse of me, George.
21:55Why should I?
21:57Because I'm taking him into custody.
21:59And I hope you'll go quietly.
22:03Taking me into custody?
22:05What for?
22:06I'm arresting you for the murder of Mr. Tolkienhorn of Lincoln's Inn Fields.
22:13I have to tell you, George, things look bad for you.
22:18You were seen that night, lurking about Tarkinhorn's place.
22:23True enough. I was there. I can't deny it.
22:27Is that all, George?
22:29Come on. You can do better than that.
22:33What good will you do me?
22:35You've made your mind up. I can see that.
22:37Let's hear your story all the same.
22:44Well...
22:46I went there.
22:48And I took the pistol with me.
22:53I didn't know what I should do, and that's the truth.
22:56I hated that man.
23:02I climbed the steps up to his office.
23:05But when I got there, I couldn't go in.
23:09I've killed men often enough in the heat of battle, but...
23:12I couldn't shoot a man in cop blood.
23:17So I come away.
23:21That's the truth.
23:22And you can believe it or not.
23:26Maybe I'll do George, and maybe I don't.
23:30Did you see anyone else while you was there?
23:33I bumped into a man in the dark as I was going in.
23:37Tarkinhorn's clerk he might have been.
23:40Frightened the wits out of him.
23:42Anyone else?
23:46Come on.
23:47It was someone else, wasn't it?
23:51I never saw her face.
23:53Ah.
23:54A woman.
23:57On the stairs.
23:59As I was going down, she was coming up.
24:02She had a black fringe shawl held over her face.
24:07What was that?
24:09A woman.
24:11A woman with a black fringe shawl.
24:19A woman.
24:19A woman.
24:46Well, well, well, what's she doing here?
24:50Oi, Missy!
24:51Hold on there, Missy, just a word.
25:01All right, Missy.
25:03Light will do as well as sooner.
25:08This is a wretched business, George.
25:10How are they treating you?
25:12Very well, sir.
25:14At all events, it's no worse here than army life.
25:18Except that they're going to hang me for something I didn't do.
25:21Though I can't deny I've wished him dead more than once.
25:24Have you spoken to a lawyer?
25:25No, sir.
25:27I don't take kindly to the breed.
25:28I'd rather have nothing to do with it.
25:30Well, you must be properly defended it, but let me engage a barrister for you.
25:33I'll gladly meet the cost of it.
25:34I'm innocent, Mr. Jundice.
25:36That's my defence.
25:39I'm grateful to you all for your concern.
25:42But no lawyers for me.
25:51Of course, he's innocent.
25:53Everyone knew who could doubt that.
25:55It wasn't the scene of the crime.
25:56He was armed.
25:58He made threats against a dead man.
26:01If you guys are to court and simply declares his innocence, I'm very much afraid that you're
26:04able to convict him and he'll hang.
26:06We must get him to change his mind.
26:08I have an idea.
26:11Mr. Squad, you know him better than anybody.
26:15Could you not persuade him to defend himself?
26:19Me, miss?
26:20I'm not a persuading sort of a man.
26:22And the governor's not sort of a man to be persuaded.
26:25I'd like to help, but I don't see how I can.
26:27Is there anybody else who could talk to him?
26:30Does he have any relations?
26:33Anyone else who cares for him?
26:36Ah, that's the question.
26:39The answer is yes, he does.
26:41But it's a secret.
26:42And I promise never to speak of it.
26:44His life may depend upon it, Mr. Squad.
26:57He has a mother.
26:59He hasn't seen since he was a young man when he ran away to join the army.
27:04He was his mother's favorite, I believe.
27:08Must have broke her heart when he ran away.
27:14What I reckon is, if she was to come to him, if she was to forgive him, like,
27:21she could get him to change his mind.
27:24But do you know her name?
27:26Or how she could be found?
27:27Yes, I do.
27:30Her name's Mrs. Rouncewell.
27:31She lives in Lincolnshire.
27:34She works as a housekeeper in a place called Chesney Wold.
27:45It's just come, sir.
27:48Give it here.
28:00Who gave you this?
28:01Just some little gutter's note, sir.
28:03All he said was, it's for Mr. Bucket, and then he run off.
28:07All right, constable.
28:25Bleak House continues tomorrow night at 8.30.
28:29Face to face with the fearsome creatures who roamed the earth before the dinosaurs.
