02:52I've made up my mind.
02:54I'll come of age very soon and have my own inheritance.
02:57If it's very large, I could save Richard
02:59from having to sell out of the army.
03:01Ada, are you sure it won't be throwing good money after bad?
03:04I can.
03:06I love him, and I want to help him.
03:08And that's all I know.
03:17Rosa, come and sit down by me.
03:29Rosa, remember I told you that I might have to send you away?
03:34Yes, milady.
03:36I have written to Mr. Rancewell and he will come for you tomorrow.
03:40So soon?
03:41Yes, it must be soon.
03:43Rosa, I do not want to part with you.
03:47But it is for the best.
03:52I hope you will think kindly of me, Rosa.
03:57Whatever you hear about.
04:01Ah, here we are, ladies.
04:03As snug and cosier room as any you'll find in deal.
04:07Is this your first visit here?
04:08Yes, it is.
04:09Have you been meeting someone from the India, ma'am?
04:12She's due to drop anchor off the downs on the afternoon tide.
04:15Well, lots of folks gone down to see her boats coming to shore.
04:19No, we've come to see an officer who's billeted here.
04:21I wonder, could you tell us how to get to the barracks?
04:23Surely, miss.
04:24Nothing easier.
04:32There, see?
04:35Better now.
04:38Good.
04:43Yes?
04:48Esther.
04:51Peter.
04:59What are you doing here?
05:02Who would have thought of seeing you?
05:05I was just writing to you.
05:07Now, come in.
05:08Sit down.
05:13I have nothing to offer you but myself, I'm afraid.
05:17That's all we wanted.
05:18Oh, well.
05:20So what were you writing?
05:21Let me read it.
05:22Oh, no need.
05:23You can read it in the room.
05:30It's all up with me here.
05:32If you'd have come an hour or two later, I'd have been gone.
05:38Yes, I'm selling out.
05:40That's the end of another career.
05:41Is it really as hopeless as that?
05:43It is.
05:45I'm so no disgrace here, they'd rather be rid of me.
05:48And it's not just the debts.
05:50I've lost my appetite for soldiering.
05:53I can't get my heart to it, or my mind, or my soul.
05:57I can't attend to anything while those villains in court
05:59are holding my fate in the balance.
06:03The regiment's ordered abroad.
06:04How could I go abroad?
06:05How could I leave things hanging?
06:06How could I trust Eve and Vols to see to my affairs
06:08and as I was at his back?
06:11Richard, I came here to tell you I want you to have my inheritance.
06:17That portion of it, which is mine alone,
06:19will come to me soon.
06:21So that you can set yourself right with the regiment
06:24and remain in the service.
06:35You could do that for me.
06:36Of course I would.
06:38I'd do more, I'd do anything.
06:41Oh, Ada.
06:46I shall never forget this.
06:55But you know, of course, I could never accept it.
06:58Not to stay in this wretched life.
07:00I was never meant to be a soldier
07:02and I won't waste your inheritance on trying to continue as one.
07:05Your little fortune will be devoted to what promises a better return.
07:10where you and I have a larger stake.
07:12Our birthright.
07:12Richard.
07:13Don't be uneasy for me.
07:14I shall only have one thing on my mind now
07:15and Vols and I will work at it and it will come right.
07:18I swear it.
07:19It's no use arguing.
07:20My mind is made up.
07:21Just give me an hour or two to wind things up here
07:22and I'll meet you back at the inn
07:24and we'll travel back to London tomorrow.
07:32All right, ladies.
07:34Let them through.
07:44Where on earth did all these people come from?
07:47That's the Indian man, miss.
07:48Some of them are from it and some have come to greet them.
07:50The doctor himself is staying here this night.
07:52What doctor?
07:53I've surely heard of him, miss.
07:55Woodcourt.
07:56The hero of the wreck.
07:58Well, here they are now, I believe.
07:59Please.
08:16Ladies.
08:29Oh, God.
08:41Mr. Snagsby.
08:42No loitering here, son.
08:43Move on.
08:44Hey, quick about it.
08:45Go on.
08:46Get out of it, please.
08:49What's the matter, office?
08:50Just a riff-raff, Mr. Snaggsby.
08:52I'll send him off.
09:03Is that you, Ada?
09:04No, Miss Summerson.
09:06It's Alan Woodcourt.
09:31I heard of your illness.
09:33I wished very much to have been nearer,
09:35but no doubt you were well looked after.
09:37Oh, yes.
09:38My maid, Charlie, was an excellent nurse.
09:41And you are quite recovered now?
09:44I feel as well as I ever did.
09:46And I am as you see me.
09:51Yes.
09:52You needn't pity me, Mr. Woodcourt.
09:54I was never vain about my look, so there's no harm done.
09:59The marks will fade, you know, until no one will be able to tell.
10:03I've told you I don't want pity.
10:04If they fade, they fade.
10:06If they don't, I shall still think myself very lucky to be alive.
10:09I never quite thought of that before, you know.
10:12No.
10:14No.
10:15Nor did I.
10:17Of course, you're a shipwreck.
10:23I heard you were very brave.
10:26How much good will it do me?
10:29I left England as a penniless surgeon, and I'm coming back as one.
10:32Can't even afford a decent suit of clothes.
10:35I ran into Richard Carston downstairs.
10:36He said he envied me.
10:38I don't think many men would.
10:41Please.
10:44How do you think he looked?
10:46Very much as before.
10:48Eager, cheerful, but I do see a change in him.
10:51Before I'd have described him as animated, now perhaps agitated would be the better word.
10:56Is there something that worries him?
10:59Only this dreadful chancery case.
11:03Mr. Woodcourt, would you do something for me?
11:06Anything if I can.
11:08Would you look out for Richard in London?
11:10He needs a good friend more than anything.
11:13Gladly.
11:15I could do with a good friend myself.
11:18Now, what do you say?
11:20Shall we all dine together here at the inn?
11:27A free man.
11:29A free man.
11:31I don't know how happy I am, Woodcourt, to be out of that confounded barracks.
11:34I feel like I'm starting my life all over again.
11:37Here among my friends.
11:40It's a friendship.
11:41A friendship?
11:42A friendship.
11:55Oh.
11:56Well, Mother.
12:00Come in, sit down.
12:01You have time?
12:03Aye.
12:04Let's then wait a while.
12:09I remember you sitting there when you were five years old.
12:13With your brother beside you.
12:16Fighting and quarrelling, no doubt.
12:17Oh, no.
12:20That came later.
12:23He was a very sweet-natured boy.
12:26And later on, he was never really bad, just wild.
12:30If you say so, Mother.
12:32I do say so.
12:35He was a dear boy.
12:38I suppose he's buried in some foreign field now.
12:49Come now, Mother.
12:52You've still got me.
12:54Little enough I see you.
12:58I don't mind that.
13:01I know you're a busy man.
13:05I was my grandson.
13:07Oh, sends his love.
13:09He's all right.
13:11Still pining for that Rosa of yours.
13:15I offered to educate the girl out of my own pocket.
13:18And they sent me away with a flea in my ear.
13:21And now they want to cast her off.
13:25It's not what I wanted for him, a girl from the village.
13:29Oh, weren't you a boy from the village?
13:32I was, but I'm not anymore, Mother.
13:35I'm as well set up as them upstairs now.
13:38Might buy them out one day when I've had enough of hard work.
13:42God knows I'd like to, if it were only to see the look on his face.
13:56I'm afraid you will have a rather chill, damp journey, sir.
14:00We're used to that.
14:17Come here, child.
14:19You must do as he says, Rosa.
14:22Mr. Ranswell will take good care of you.
14:26Come, Rosa.
14:27You do care for my lad, don't you?
14:29Yes, sir.
14:31Well, then.
14:37She seems reluctant to go, sir.
14:39Well, she's not well-bred, you see, Celeste.
14:42If she had remained here, she would have improved, no doubt.
14:46Good day, Celeste.
14:48Good day, Lady Deadlock.
14:50Come along, Rosa.
15:03Insolent blackguard.
15:30Come along, Rosa.
15:31Let's go.
15:32Let's get a down one.
15:33Let's go.
15:33Let's go!
15:34Let's go!
15:34Let's go!
15:44Jo?
15:46Jo?
15:52Water court.
15:53A deal?
15:54Yes.
15:55We'll have supper together at the inn.
15:57He was very attentive to Esther.
16:00Ada, he was not.
16:01He was polite and kind like a gentleman.
16:04But he got on very well with Richard.
16:07And he has promised to be a friend to him in London.
16:12A friend to Rick in London?
16:17So Rick is selling out after all.
16:18It was all done before we got there.
16:20Nothing we could say would make him change his mind.
16:22And where is he to live in London?
16:24I think near Mr. Voles' office.
16:27Very convenient for Mr. Voles.
16:29He'll have Rick safely in his sticky web.
16:33All the budget to consume him entirely at his leisure.
16:35Stop!
16:36I can't bear to hear Richard spoken about like that.
16:40He has made his decision,
16:41and I think we should allow him to know what's best for him.
16:44Ada, Ada, I...
16:45I don't think we should discuss it anymore.
16:56Is anything the matter?
16:58Let me look at you, boy.
17:00I'm a doctor.
17:01I'm not going to hurt you.
17:03Wait a minute.
17:04Don't I know you?
17:05It may call you to the coroner's court.
17:07I've never done nothing, sir.
17:09It's true, sir.
17:10I think nothing, sir.
17:12You're saying organ?
17:12Yes, sir, and a young lady took pity on him
17:15and took him home and nursed him.
17:16And he only ran away in the night
17:18and left her with a fever,
17:19and she nearly died of it, sir.
17:22Oh!
17:23The poor little thing.
17:25There's nothing you can do, Florent.
17:28My guess is he has pneumonia in both lungs
17:30and more besides.
17:33Come on, then.
17:34Let's find you a place where you can be comfortable.
17:37Oh, be careful of him, Mr. Squad.
17:39Are you sure you can manage it?
17:41Don't you worry, Miss Flight.
17:42He's nowhere at all to carry.
17:44A furby scrap.
17:46What's this?
17:46General George.
17:47My dear physician, Mr. Woodcourt,
17:49sought my assistance in finding a place
17:51for this poor young patient,
17:54and I immediately thought of you.
17:56General George will help us out, I said.
17:59Bring him over here, Phil.
18:00Lay him down.
18:02The thing is,
18:04I don't want to take him to a hospital or workhouse.
18:07He is terrified that he would be found
18:08by a man who has been harrying him
18:10and ordering him to go here and there.
18:12A man called Bucket.
18:14Inspector of police.
18:15I know him, sir.
18:17And I've seen this boy before.
18:18Not like you, though.
18:21He looks very bad, sir.
18:23I fear he is.
18:25Well, he's welcome to stay here as long as it takes.
18:29One way or t'other.
18:30It's very good of you, Sergeant George.
18:34He seems agitated, like.
18:37Joe,
18:39anything that we could do for you
18:40to put your mind at rest?
18:43Is there a friend that we could call?
18:48Mrs. Snagsby?
18:53And the lady?
18:54Yeah.
18:56Could you tell her
18:57I never meant no harm?
19:00I shall, Joe.
19:02I shall.
19:09Thought you'd wish to know, sir.
19:11Sir Lester and this lady came to town today.
19:15Did they know?
19:18She sent the maid away.
19:20The pretty girl,
19:21the one you mentioned.
19:23Gone.
19:25Thought you'd wish to know,
19:27Mr. Tolkien.
19:28Thank you, Clam.
19:36And how do you find yourself?
19:38My poor lad.
19:41I'm lucky, Mrs. Snagsby.
19:44We're very cosy here.
19:49I never meant to do it, sir.
19:52Do what, Joe?
19:55I never meant to do it, Joe.
19:57Might the lady you...
19:59need to die.
20:01She's coming here herself, Joe.
20:04You can tell her yourself.
20:13Pray God he lives that long.
20:15There's very little I can do for him.
20:18Poor lad.
20:20Hold up, my boy.
20:21Hold up.
20:23I'll beat this somewhere, Will.
20:29Don't let the other one come.
20:32Inspector Bucket, Joe.
20:34No, he won't come here.
20:36No.
20:37The other one.
20:40You know him, Mrs. Snagsby?
20:43Where I was took,
20:44behind the big desk.
20:46It was him.
20:48Who set the...
20:50who set the inspector unto me.
20:53That's when all my trouble started.
20:55No, no, Joe.
20:56He wouldn't harm you.
20:57Who?
20:58Who do you speak of?
21:00By Mr. Tolkien Hall.
21:06Tolkien Hall.
21:07Tolkien Hall.
21:37Well?
21:39I thought we had an agreement,
21:40Lady Deadlock.
21:42What agreement?
21:44That you would take no action
21:46without reference to me.
21:48You have violated that agreement
21:50by sending that girl away.
21:52What possible harm can it do
21:54to spare an innocent girl
21:56from the taint of scandal?
21:58If I wish to protect my secret...
22:00It is not your secret any longer.
22:02It is my secret,
22:03in trust for Celeste and the family.
22:07I consider our agreement
22:08to be broken, Lady Deadlock.
22:10And I reserve the right
22:12to take what action I see fit.
22:15You must do as you wish.
22:20And that is all I have
22:21to trouble you with this evening.
22:24Wait.
22:29Do you mean to tell
22:30Sir Lester tonight?
22:33No.
22:35Not tonight.
22:38Tomorrow, then?
22:42It may be tomorrow.
22:46Good evening, Lady Deadlock.
23:09What's the matter, Jo?
23:13I thought I was
23:15Tom all alone again.
23:18It's just a dream, Jo.
23:20You're safe now.
23:22You're with friends.
23:25Not for very long, though.
23:28I'm going, ain't I?
23:30Moving on.
23:32About the cop we said, right?
23:35You don't have to go anywhere, Jo.
23:38Where did you think of going?
23:41Burying ground.
23:43I swear.
23:46By and by, Jo.
23:47Not yet.
23:51It's getting...
23:52very dark.
23:56I thought there'd be a light coming.
24:01Jo?
24:02Did you ever know a prayer?
24:07I miss...
24:09Jo, can you say what I say?
24:16Our Father...
24:19Our Father...
24:20which art in heaven...
24:27Art...
24:29in heaven...
24:30heaven...
24:32hallowed be.
24:46Dead.
25:00Dead.
25:02Dead, your majesty.
25:04Dead, my lords and gentlemen.
25:08Dead, your worships.
25:09Dead, right reverends of every order and degree.
25:13Dead and dyingness around us.
25:18Every day.
25:44I beg pardon, my lady.
25:46I thought you'd retired for the night.
25:47Sir Lester has retired for the night.
25:49I am going out.
25:51Call for the carriage, my lady?
25:52Not necessary, Mercury.
25:53I simply want a breath of fresh air.
25:55That is all.
25:58So will you be so good as to unbolt the door?
26:01Very good, my lady.
26:27Mr. Purlatt will have a proper burial.
26:31Mr. Jarndyce.
26:32Mr. Jarndyce.
26:32He didn't see you to that.
26:34Clergyman.
26:36Brass-handled coffin.
26:39All proper and ship-shape.
26:43He's a good man, not Mr. Jarndyce.
26:46That man bears a heavyweight of blame, Phil.
26:50Mr. Jarndyce?
26:51What's he done?
26:52Not Jarndyce.
26:54Talking Horn.
26:54Well, the one comes back to Tarkinorn.
27:01He's like the old enemy himself.
27:06I'm going out, Phil.
27:08What have you got to spend the night?
27:10Never you mind.
27:19I'll be going home then, Mr. Tarkinorn.
27:22All right, Clown.
27:24Good night then, sir.
27:25Good night.
27:35Good God, sir.
27:37No harm done.
27:38Good night.
27:38Good night.
27:47Good night.
28:11Who's there?
28:18Who's there, I say?
28:20You.
