0:01:00 > 0:01:03Mr Venus, I wish to solicit your opinion.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06A sudden emergency, Mr Bucket.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09I'll meet you outside Jacob Marley's residence.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13It's rather exciting, this new method,
0:01:13 > 0:01:15trying to catch this devil in the detail.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Are you excited?
0:01:18 > 0:01:23I have two days before I resume my former office.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Two days to get my man for this murder.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29The clock is ticking.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I do not have time to be excited.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41BABY CRIES
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Shh, shh, shh...
0:02:13 > 0:02:16This, this, the actual true facts right here,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19how Inspector Thompson cornered and caged the savage killer of Marley.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Ain't right that such a thing be made entertaining.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24It's grubby, it's nasty and I don't want to hear it, John,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- if it's all the same to you. - Well, it ain't right they ever
0:02:26 > 0:02:28dragged you in, Mr C, just ain't right at all.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31How could that Bucket ever put you in the frame?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I said I don't want to hear it, John! I've heard enough about it.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36The murderer's been got. There's no more to be said.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Footman?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02He is never to present himself here again.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06You never want to set eyes on his face, nor hear his...
0:03:06 > 0:03:09blandishments, now or ever in the future.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Mary, wait.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15I'll tell him myself.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29You smile, sir. Why?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I always smile when I see you.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Is something amiss?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I know about her.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Her?- Your lady-friend. I know.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- You have this all so very wrong. - No, I don't believe I do.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49If you will allow me to explain.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Everything that comes out of your mouth is a filthy lie
0:03:52 > 0:03:53and I want no more of them.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Very well, Miss Havisham. I will return when you are calmer.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00You will not return, not to this house.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03And if you should, I will call the constables.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06So, where is your smile now, sir?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24You need to eat something. What are you doing?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I keep thinking I can hear her cry for me.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32And every time I think I hear her cry, there's milk.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Here, let me.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37BABY CRIES
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Oh, gosh!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Oh, God, there it is again!
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Can you really not hear anything?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50I have to go out today to make arrangements.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Of course. To bury her.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Maybe then I'll stop thinking I can hear her cry for me.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Maybe I'll always think it.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02It'll pass.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I'll try not to be too long.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Can you find somewhere pretty for her to lie?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Perhaps near a tree. Somewhere peaceful.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12I'll do my best.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Morning, Daisy. - Morning, Emily.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26HE SNORES
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Have I been here all night?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Er, looks that way, sir.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Tell the landlord I want another bottle of rum.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Will you do something for me, sir?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Will you, er, pass on the respects of the Cratchit family
0:05:46 > 0:05:48to your young lady?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50My daughter, Martha, says that Miss Honoria is much
0:05:50 > 0:05:53missed at the dressmakers. I told her she's looking after her poorly
0:05:53 > 0:05:57aunt and family always comes first.
0:05:57 > 0:05:58Sir?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Yes.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Yes, it does.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Family comes first,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08above everything else.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Thank you, Mrs Cratchit.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I haven't done anything.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14You've made me see sense.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- BABY CRIES - Shh, shh, shh...
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Mr Bucket!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53This was your sudden emergency?
0:06:53 > 0:06:58This is Madame Snuggles. Belongs to the glove-stretcher's wife.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02A beloved companion of many years. Has an infestation of moth.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06There are irrefutable certainties to this case, Mr Venus.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12Marley is killed by a blow to the temple.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15A splinter from the murder weapon is embedded in his scalp.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Your thoughts on such a weapon, Mr Venus?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22A practised felon, a professional cut-throat takes care of the tools
0:07:22 > 0:07:23of his trade.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26What use is it to him, a cosh that splinters?
0:07:26 > 0:07:31The accused in the cells, waiting to hang, used a metal cudgel.
0:07:31 > 0:07:37I feel, Mr Venus, that this murder weapon
0:07:37 > 0:07:41is an item a man might just pick up,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45something meant for a purpose other than the cracking of skulls.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49What else are we certain of?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51That when the blow was struck, er, the killer
0:07:51 > 0:07:53and Marley were face to face.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55And the blow itself?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Not one that I would associate with a powerful man.
0:07:58 > 0:08:04There was force, yes, but it is glancing, almost fearful.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06A fraction of an inch and Marley could still be alive.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I would call it an unlucky blow.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Unlucky for Jacob Marley.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31The killer strikes and runs.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36He doesn't stop to take Marley's watch, which is still ticking
0:08:36 > 0:08:40away on his corpse, and it's a good, expensive watch.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42He panics.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44So, another certainty.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48The killer is not a hardened criminal,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50because they do not panic.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Then what are they doing at night by the docks,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56which is the haunt of malefactors and cut-throats?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Marley was a dark man,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04at home in dark places.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07But the killer...
0:09:09 > 0:09:13Do you remember what I said to you early on in this case?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Money never lies.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Debt is the black heart of this crime.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23I feel it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26To the murder site!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Do you think you've been clever?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I don't know what you're talking about.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- You told her about Sally. - No, I didn't.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Of course it was you, you snivelling wretch!- I told her nothing.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I'm delighted if she's found out that you are actually married,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55because it's over, isn't it? You're finished.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57You think I can't come back from this?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00How often has my sister begged for me to come home?
0:10:00 > 0:10:01Perhaps it's time I did just that.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04I'll buy her a gift. A pineapple, perhaps,
0:10:04 > 0:10:05she adores pineapple.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08It will remind her of our childhood trips with our father
0:10:08 > 0:10:10to the glasshouses at Kew.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I will apologise for being such a fool and she would forgive me
0:10:13 > 0:10:17and we'd be together again, brother and sister in Satis House.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Arthur and Amelia Havisham.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23United, against you.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Shh, shh, shh, shh...
0:10:45 > 0:10:48BABY CRIES
0:11:01 > 0:11:03KNOCK AT THE DOOR
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- James.- Where's Frances?- She's out.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Good. Not that it would matter, because I would still do this.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Frances sent you a note last night. Did you get it?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Oh, I threw it on the fire unread, I knew what it would say.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Honoria, marry me.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I want to be your husband.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I want to be the father of our child.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25I want it more than anything else in the world.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27What are we waiting for?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Your father's blessing? My promotion?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32All that matters is that we love each other.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Oh, I forgot to kneel, wait.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42My beautiful girl.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Be my wife.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51James, do I look different to you?
0:11:54 > 0:11:55You look tired.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09The note you threw on the fire said the baby was coming
0:12:09 > 0:12:10and a doctor was needed.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14The baby?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17She was born dead, James.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Our daughter was born dead.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25BABY GURGLES
0:12:39 > 0:12:40Where is she?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45The baby, can I see her?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Frances is making arrangements for her.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53She'll say prayers, give her flowers.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57She was very beautiful.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Esther Frances.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Esther...
0:13:05 > 0:13:06A good name, I like it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09James, this is the end now.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14What do you mean?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16For us. It's the end.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18This is goodbye.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Honoria, my sweetheart.
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Terrible things happen, babies are lost and people grieve,
0:13:28 > 0:13:29but they go on.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Well, that is people. It is not me.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36I want you to leave now. It's over.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40You don't mean this. You don't want this, it's just the shock.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Please, go.- Honoria!- No, do not!
0:13:42 > 0:13:46You are my world, my heart's blood, I love you.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48And I loved you.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51So much. All I could see was you.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54But now, all I can see is her face.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59This is a judgment on us, James.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Because of us, she can't even be buried properly.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07She has to be hidden away like some dirty little secret,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10lying there all alone,
0:14:10 > 0:14:12a little girl in the dark.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16And it's because of us.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21We both died with our daughter last night.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27We are ghosts of the people we used to be.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33It is ended.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40I want you to go.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Go and never come back.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03I am nothing without you.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I am nobody.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14Goodbye, Captain Hawdon.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36BABY CRIES
0:15:54 > 0:15:56She's so hungry.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58She's had nothing yet, nothing at all.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Her name is Esther. Esther Fr...
0:16:10 > 0:16:11Just Esther.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02She's not in. I already knocked.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Might I ask how you got this address?
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I drove by here.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10I saw you embrace her, this woman of yours.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13What is she, your mistress?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16You share these squalid lodgings, so your wife, perhaps?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I do hope you married her. At least that would be decent.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22It seems you have already decided what she is.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It's the money, isn't it?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26You thought, "Here's some poor rich woman I can play."
0:17:26 > 0:17:29You leap to so many conclusions, it would be dishonourable
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- for me to contradict you. - Because you cannot contradict me.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- You are a fraud.- Meriwether?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42What's she doing here? She knows about me.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43She does.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45And since you live together,
0:17:45 > 0:17:46I suppose for the sake of good manners
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I should call you Mrs Compeyson.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Mrs?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Oh, no, I'm Miss. Miss Compeyson.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I'm his sister.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Would you step into my carriage?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Not you.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28It's an ugly tale, Miss Havisham.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33I lost my heart to a bad man.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I ran away with him.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39He was cruel. Cast me aside.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43I could have ended up a street woman.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48I thought I might throw myself from a bridge at Blackfriars
0:18:48 > 0:18:49and let the river take me.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54But my brother searched for me,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57found me and kept me safe.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00But I saw him embrace you.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02You have a brother, do you not?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Do you and he never embrace?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08We used to. Once.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Why did he say nothing to me about you?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I told him he shouldn't.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Someone of your standing, your status,
0:19:21 > 0:19:25associated with one such as myself.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28A woman banished by good society.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I told my brother you'd drop him in an instant.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I'm sorry.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42I'm terribly sorry.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02She believed me. She's tricky, though. Hard work.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Is that what you like about her? - It's the money I like.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07You never told me she was beautiful.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10This should've been finished weeks ago. You're delaying!
0:20:12 > 0:20:14You want to get in her bed.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17No, we had a deal. Anything but that. You don't get in her bed!
0:20:17 > 0:20:19You're imagining things.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Why are you here?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50You should hate me. Why don't you hate me?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Satis House!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34This...
0:21:34 > 0:21:37is the exact spot where Jacob Marley lost his life.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Put Madame Snuggles down a moment, Mr Venus.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I require your assistance.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52You are in debt to Jacob Marley.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58Why have you come here, at night, to meet him, instead of at his house
0:21:58 > 0:22:00or his place of business?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Because this meeting is secret. I want it to be secret.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I don't want to be seen by anyone I know.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08I'm ashamed.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10I'm desperate.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I'm scared.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Why have you come?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Perhaps I've come to ask you for more time...
0:22:18 > 0:22:19to pay.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25Perhaps I want to ask you, beg you, please, to be lenient...
0:22:27 > 0:22:28..to be kind.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32I'm Jacob Marley. I enjoy your desperation.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35I enjoy your shame and fear.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37That is meat and drink to me.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Why should I be kind?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Well, perhaps I have a family, little ones.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46I don't care.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52I lent you a shilling but now it's pounds and pounds
0:22:52 > 0:22:55and every day it gets worse and I enjoy that,
0:22:55 > 0:22:57because now I own you.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01There is not one part of your life I don't control.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04The boots on your feet, the clothes on your back,
0:23:04 > 0:23:09every mouthful of drink, every bite of food, every waking moment.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14The roof over your head, the bed you lie down on.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Because whether you go destitute or not is at my say so.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21There is nowhere you are free from me.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Every brick and every stick is mine.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28Your life, the life of your loved ones is mine. All of it!
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Crushed by the debt you owe to me
0:23:31 > 0:23:34and that gives me pleasure, so why should I be kind?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Ah!
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Exactly so, Mr Venus.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52Our killer is an ordinary man, pushed to the very limit
0:23:52 > 0:23:53of what was bearable.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57And he snapped.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Don't announce me, I want to surprise her.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24DISTANT LAUGHTER
0:24:55 > 0:24:57You haven't touched your cordial, Mr Venus.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I'm worried about this man.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02The killer?
0:25:02 > 0:25:03He's just ordinary.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Driven to a terrible act, but ordinary.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11And now with you so hard on his tail, I...
0:25:11 > 0:25:13I fear for him.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17You have a gentle heart, my friend,
0:25:17 > 0:25:22but there must and will be justice and I will pursue it
0:25:22 > 0:25:23to my dying breath.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26But consider what that justice will be for his crime, though.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29It is the hangman's noose for him, Mr Bucket.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31An ordinary man.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Mr Venus, the killer took a weapon with him.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39He went to meet Marley with malice a forethought.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Pre-meditation.
0:25:43 > 0:25:49So he might have been ordinary once, but now he is a murderer.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Pies, gents.- Thank you.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Mmm.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38KNOCK AT THE DOOR
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Inspector!
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Mrs Cratchit. I was passing.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Might I come in?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49I'm baking, it's a terrible mess.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51I don't mind mess.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Quite the family industry.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Everyone pitches in - the little ones,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Bob...Mr Cratchit.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Yeah, he's quite a dab hand in the kitchen.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08He's got a sure touch with pastry.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12What's that?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16It's evidence, Mrs Cratchit.
0:27:16 > 0:27:21This piece of wood was removed from Jacob Marley's scalp.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25It came from the cosh that killed him.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I've been looking for that weapon.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43And now I've found it.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Mrs Cratchit, when your husband comes home,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52I'm going to have to take him away.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Why?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Because your husband, who has such a sure touch with pastry...
0:28:00 > 0:28:03..is going to be re-arrested for the murder of Jacob Marley.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09MAN WHISTLES
0:28:15 > 0:28:18It wasn't Bob, it was me. I killed Marley.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20It was me.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22BOB WHISTLES
