0:00:35 > 0:00:37When was this decision reached?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Mr Jaggers, we simply have two additional attendees at our meeting.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43A meeting of the utmost importance.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46All the shareholders in one room, we can't afford to take risks.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51- Your brother's recent behaviour, for example.- He is very sorry.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54I feel this could be a fresh start for both of us.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Arthur, as a shareholder himself, has every right to be there.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01And this Mr Compeyson?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03What's his interest?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06He may invest.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Besides, Mr Compeyson has become a good friend to Arthur.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I thought his presence would be a calming influence.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It was your suggestion?
0:01:14 > 0:01:15Of course.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Mr Jaggers, I don't understand your objection.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I'm merely questioning...
0:01:21 > 0:01:25I'm urging you not to consign your trust too quickly. That's all.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I came to see you ahead of this meeting as a matter of courtesy,
0:01:27 > 0:01:29not to seek your counsel.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Comb your hair, at least.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Today the tide turns, Havisham.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I can't wait to see how the shareholders take
0:01:44 > 0:01:45to a woman at the helm.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Thank you for your company, Sir Leicester.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07A very pleasant start to the day's work.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Not at all.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Soon,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13you might be free to spend your days
0:02:13 > 0:02:14as you wish.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Hello, Peter.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38Nell!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Happy birthday.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41You remembered.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Course.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Can I call on you this evening?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Hello, Mrs Gamp. At long last!
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Very agreeable, dearie, I'm sure,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59but I have to confess that not even the promise of a servant
0:02:59 > 0:03:02could tempt me to the Midlands.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I was not of the notion that you'd ever even visited Staffordshire.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10For the reasoning that it is rampant with cracksmen, oysters and dippers.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Well, rather a few petty criminals than a murderer on the loose.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Mr Gradgrind was practically begging, wasn't he?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20HE GRUMBLES
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Such desperation from a man of his standing.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31We are still waiting for an official offer to be made.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Strictly a formality.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Oh, well. I must be on my way.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Provisions for Mr Wegg.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Lord alone knows what he'd do without me.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41He's a very needy gentleman.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45And, truth, it's a strain to
0:03:45 > 0:03:47parry his advances.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Yet, so adept at disguising his affections.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Documents, clothing, weapons,
0:04:02 > 0:04:06anything that could link Fagin to Marley.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I want Croucher's warehouse scoured from floor to rafters.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32We must make ourselves indispensable.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Leave all the talking to me.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Well, how am I to become indispensable
0:04:35 > 0:04:38if I'm to sit the entire meeting out in complete silence?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40At the moment, you can barely maintain personal hygiene, I doubt
0:04:40 > 0:04:44you've the strength of mind to win back your share of the estate.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Cat got your tongue, has it?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Hello, sir. Pleased to make your acquaintance.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I am Mrs Compeyson.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Well, congratulations.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14You made it into the society pages.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17A night of decadence at the Havisham ball.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I've been struggling to make ends meet
0:05:19 > 0:05:21and you've been living the high life?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Let's take this somewhere a little more private and I'll explain.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- Oh, look! He's ashamed. Bless him. - Sally, please!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28No, you try getting kicked out of our home by the landlord,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- neighbours all gawping.- My dear fellow, please go on to our meeting
0:05:32 > 0:05:35and offer my sincere apologies to Mr Havisham.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36(Think of something!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38(I'll be there as soon as I can.)
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Don't bother with excuses.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42You tell your Mr Havisham that Meriwether Compeyson
0:05:42 > 0:05:45is nothing but a lying little weasel.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49One.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Two.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Three.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Stop him!
0:06:29 > 0:06:30Inspector.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33An unexpected honour.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36So, this is your racket, Fagin?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Oh, a little uncouth, Inspector.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42These poor wretches have been sent to us
0:06:42 > 0:06:44with the blessings of their family
0:06:44 > 0:06:47or workhouse to be put to good use
0:06:47 > 0:06:48in mines overseas.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52I see it more as a charity than a business.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Fine charity that sees children shivering in a filthy warehouse.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Better than shivering in the gutter, I'm sure you'll agree.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02I'm not an ogre, Inspector.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Allow me to be the judge of that.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11A man of your good sense must surely know you have no cause to arrest me.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Don't worry.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26You're not in trouble.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42You've been here long?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Days? Weeks?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Weeks.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05How would you like it if I took you for a nice currant bun?
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- A friend?- His oldest and dearest.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Completely without warning.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21How awful.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25He's gone to pay his respects to the family but hopes to join us shortly.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Oh, no, there are far more important things than this meeting.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Are you still attending?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Arthur, please don't burden yourself with obligation.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I won't embarrass you, Amelia.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Is there a problem?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Mr Compeyson is running slightly late.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Perhaps we could wait a few... - No, no. We can't delay any longer.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58It's for one evening only.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Tomorrow, I will settle with the bailiffs and you'll be back at home.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Now, I have business to attend to.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06No. Weeks gone by and no word?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Is that all I deserve? - We can talk on my return.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10We talk NOW.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I shan't think twice about following you there,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20telling your business associates the truth
0:09:20 > 0:09:23about who they're dealing with.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25RATTLING
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Lock me in, I'll climb out the window.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Apologies, gentlemen, for the delay
0:09:51 > 0:09:53and a very warm welcome.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02May I begin by offering my sincere thanks to all of you
0:10:02 > 0:10:05for helping to build the Havisham Brewery into the empire
0:10:05 > 0:10:07we so proudly represent today.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08- ALL:- Hear, hear!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Of course, a great empire requires great leadership.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15GRUMBLING
0:10:15 > 0:10:18And I think we will agree there was none greater than my dear father.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- ALL:- Hear, hear!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23But
0:10:23 > 0:10:25this is a new era
0:10:25 > 0:10:28and, today, I would like to propose some changes.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30GRUMBLING
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Do you think I enjoy being away for weeks on end?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Everything I do is for us, to keep a roof over our heads.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45That's a fine job you're doing(!) We don't even HAVE a roof any more.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48For heaven's sake, let me go, so I can put this right.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52What are you up to?
0:10:54 > 0:10:55The details are irrelevant.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58All you need to know is we stand to make a fortune.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Go, then,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04before I change my mind.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09DOOR OPENS
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Initial outlay aside, to move the malt house onto the brewery site
0:11:13 > 0:11:14would remove transport costs.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Miss Havisham,
0:11:16 > 0:11:20the malt house poses a significant fire hazard.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21I commend your prudence,
0:11:21 > 0:11:23but it would be of little concern
0:11:23 > 0:11:26if the entire brewery was razed to the ground.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Thank you, Mr Norton.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31That actually brings me to the next point on my agenda.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36I assume you're familiar with the new trend of jack arching,
0:11:36 > 0:11:39as used on the new Perkins brewhouse at Southwark.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41This is the practice of using steel
0:11:41 > 0:11:44rather than timber beams on concrete ceilings
0:11:44 > 0:11:46for fireproofing and longevity.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Let me explain in more detail.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Your parents, God rest their souls,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11would be very proud to see what fine manners you have.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17So,
0:12:17 > 0:12:18Mr Fagin,
0:12:18 > 0:12:22is he there much at the warehouse?
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Not all the time.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Mostly he leaves the bigger boys to watch us.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Ever see anyone else with him?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30A gentleman?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37There was another gentleman once.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40What did he look like?
0:12:40 > 0:12:42He was a big man,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44straggly hair
0:12:44 > 0:12:47tied up in a ponytail with black ribbon.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58How many times did you see him?
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Only one time, sir.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Day after I got took to where you found me.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Are you sure of that?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Him and Mr Fagin were shouting at each other.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32GRUMBLING
0:13:34 > 0:13:36A show of hands, then, gentlemen?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to raise them.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Then I think we should bring this meeting to a close.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01APPLAUSE
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Well done.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Miss Havisham, please forgive me.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36Your poor friend. What a dreadful shock.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Yes. Yes, it was a...
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Very unexpected.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Impressive, Miss Havisham.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Yes, you were, Amelia.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Now, Mr Norton is keen to speak with you.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Mr Compeyson, I apologise. Excuse me.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02What happened to delaying it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05As you constantly remind me, Amelia won't listen to me.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08After her triumph today I doubt she'll seek anyone's counsel again.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Perhaps it's time to face facts. Your plan is failing.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14You will have to find alternative accommodation this evening.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16You can't keep me from my own lodgings.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22DOOR SHUTS
0:15:22 > 0:15:25"Beware the fury of a patient man."
0:15:25 > 0:15:28You ever heard that phrase, Fagin?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Can't say I have, no.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33My dear old father used to say it to me when I was a boy.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36I would tell you some of the things my father used to say to me,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Inspector, but I don't remember. He abandoned me before I could walk.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43And here you are treating defenceless orphans like cattle.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Ah, yes, and here you are coming to the rescue of those poor mites(!)
0:15:47 > 0:15:49That what you tell yourself
0:15:49 > 0:15:54when you warm your hands on coal mined by those very same children?
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Or perhaps as you button your crisp, cotton shirt
0:15:58 > 0:16:00milled by tiny fingers.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01This is an injustice.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04You are holding an innocent man without cause.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08How did Jacob Marley react when he discovered
0:16:08 > 0:16:13you were running your sordid little business from his empty warehouse?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I imagine he was angry. I imagine you argued.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I imagine things turned rather nasty.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21You and your imagination.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Why do you think Mr Marley bought Croucher's warehouse
0:16:25 > 0:16:27in the first place?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31The business was his idea.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32We were partners.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- Why have you never mentioned this till now?- You never asked.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45- The business is legal. - Murder, on the other hand, is not.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47And what would be my motive?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49You wanted Marley's share of the profits.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53On the contrary, he left numerous invoices and no means of payment.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55His death has been most inconvenient.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03No matter how much you want it to be true, Inspector Bucket,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I did not kill Jacob Marley.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11HE SNIFFS
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Did you know what Marley was using it for?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It's not of my concern, Inspector.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- I oversaw the business, that's all. - It can't be legal, can it?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Shipping starving children across the world?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27And there's nothing I can do to stop it?
0:17:27 > 0:17:29It is entirely within the law.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Perhaps that's where you and I differ.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35I'm more concerned with justice.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46BACKGROUND CHATTER
0:18:14 > 0:18:16BACKGROUND CHATTER
0:18:22 > 0:18:26SOBBING BEHIND DOOR
0:18:29 > 0:18:33SHE SOBS
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- There was I enjoying a moment's peace.- What's the matter, Ma?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Tim needs a doctor.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47We can't afford it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Give my life for the lot of you
0:18:50 > 0:18:53and I can't get me hands on a few extra shillings.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57JANGLING
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Been saving. It ain't much, but it should help.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- It's yours. You earned it. You keep it.- And watch my brother go sick?
0:19:16 > 0:19:17SHE SOBS
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Ain't meant to make you upset, Ma.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26You ain't made me upset.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28You've made me proud.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30You're a good boy, Peter.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33The very best.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41DOOR OPENS
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Hello, Peter.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51They're beautiful. Thank you.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Buy you the crown jewels if I could.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56What would I do with them?
0:21:02 > 0:21:06For all intents and purposes, you are the boy's legal guardian,
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Inspector, so if you wouldn't mind signing.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17You must look after this boy, Mrs Bumble. He needs feeding up.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20He should count himself lucky he's not on the way to the mine
0:21:20 > 0:21:21with the rest of them.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25And you should count yourself lucky to have him here at the workhouse.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26He's a decent lad.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Treat him with care and respect.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34He'll be in the best of hands during his time with us, Inspector.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56My pleasure to meet you, young man.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Mine, too, sir. Thank you.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02I will say this.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Manners are important.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10But so is speaking up for yourself.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12You remember that.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36CHATTER
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Mrs Gamp, my entire gin stock is gone.
0:22:40 > 0:22:4337 bottles! This is theft!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Oh, my Lord!
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Who would do such a thing?
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- Inspector, I wish to report a crime. - Sorry, I'm off duty.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55What is the world coming to?
0:22:55 > 0:22:59From now on, I will watch that cellar door like a hawk.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04You have until tomorrow to vacate the premises.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I beg your pardon.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I want you gone, Mrs Gamp.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13CHATTER
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Promise you'll put things right.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I swear it.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04DRIPPING WATER
0:25:04 > 0:25:06BELL TOLLS
0:25:09 > 0:25:11BACKGROUND CHATTER
0:25:41 > 0:25:43HORSE NEIGHS
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- I felt dreadful having to rush away earlier.- Not at all.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00So nervous about the meeting. But I surprised myself.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Standing there addressing the room, I felt like I was born for it.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08How insensitive of me.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10You're grieving and here I am talking about my meeting.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Amelia, if you'll grant me a moment there's something I wish to say.
0:26:17 > 0:26:18What is it?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Harsh as it may sound, my dear friend's demise has provided me
0:26:24 > 0:26:25with a vivid clarity.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30For all I know, I may follow him tomorrow.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Don't say such a thing...- It's true.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Any of us might. Why deny it?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37It's a life of...pretence.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43And I admit I've been pretending to you since the day we met.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Pretending?
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Pretending that I don't love you
0:26:52 > 0:26:54more than I've loved another person in my life.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04I want to walk by your side for the rest of my days,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07share everything I have with you.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Amelia Havisham, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?
0:27:22 > 0:27:23SHE GASPS
0:27:51 > 0:27:53If it's not your wish, I'll leave this second.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55It has nothing to do with my wishes, but my duty...
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Please don't talk to me about duty. Do you love me?
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- Very much.- Then that is all that matters.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Life is fleeting, Amelia.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08If happiness is within reach, seize it with both hands.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Then the answer is yes. I will marry you.
