0:00:40 > 0:00:42THEY CHUCKLE

0:00:44 > 0:00:46- Murdered?!- Yes.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Do you hear that, Bumble? Murdered.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Yes, my dear, a terrible business.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52A moneylender! Murdered.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53Not two streets away.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55This is what you meant, is it, Bumble?

0:00:55 > 0:00:57When you promised my father to keep me

0:00:57 > 0:00:59in the style to which I'd become accustomed?

0:00:59 > 0:01:00Hm? Was it?

0:01:00 > 0:01:05No, my sweet. It was a pledge I made some 20 years ago.

0:01:05 > 0:01:06Life, Bumble!

0:01:06 > 0:01:10"Till death us do part" was the vow as I recall.

0:01:10 > 0:01:12Or perhaps that's what you want? Is that it?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15You want me to be murdered? To be rid of me?

0:01:15 > 0:01:20No, dear heart. How could I survive without you?

0:01:20 > 0:01:22I doubt I could get through a single day

0:01:22 > 0:01:24without your clear and concise instruction.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Them alleys is no place to be walking on your own at night -

0:01:27 > 0:01:29how many times have I said that?

0:01:29 > 0:01:31I heard his throat was cut.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33I heard he was stabbed, through the heart,

0:01:33 > 0:01:36and his innards were strewn across the cobbles.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39Take me home, Bumble, we're besieged!

0:01:39 > 0:01:40Yes, my dear.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43CLOCK CHIMES

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Good morning, Fagin.

0:02:02 > 0:02:03Mr Bucket?

0:02:06 > 0:02:10You're very light on your feet for a man of your stature,

0:02:10 > 0:02:11if you don't mind me saying.

0:02:11 > 0:02:16I've always found it to be a very useful trait in my line of work.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21It's very nice to see you, Mr Bucket, after such a long time.

0:02:21 > 0:02:22Some refreshment?

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Do you know a man called Jacob Marley?

0:02:25 > 0:02:29May he rest in peace. Tut, tut, tut, tut. A terrible thing.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32The world is full of thieves and cut-throats.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35I asked if you knew him.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37I don't believe I ever made his acquaintance.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Then can I ask where I might have found you on Christmas Eve?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44Say between 9 and 10.30?

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Surely I'm not under suspicion, Mr Bucket?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'm not a man of violence, as you very well know.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53I know all too well what you are, Fagin.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56Would you like me to repeat my question?

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Between 9 and 10.30?

0:02:58 > 0:03:02A bite to eat in the Three Cripples,

0:03:02 > 0:03:06then here, my dear, sat by the fire.

0:03:06 > 0:03:12Organising a girl called Nancy, to send to Jacob Marley,

0:03:12 > 0:03:14a man you didn't know?

0:03:17 > 0:03:22Come, Fagin, we know each other well enough, do we not?

0:03:22 > 0:03:26A girl being sent to a man like Mr Marley, on your patch?

0:03:26 > 0:03:31If it wasn't you who sent her, I'll wager you know who did.

0:03:32 > 0:03:36I could have a dozen constables in here in the blink of an eye.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38Nancy goes where she pleases.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43See much of Bill Sikes these days?

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Sikes?

0:03:45 > 0:03:49He looked after your girls from time to time.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Delivered them where they had to go.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Carried a wooden cosh, as I recall.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01The girl is of less importance.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05I don't doubt Mr Marley was alive and well when she left him.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09But, as for Bill Sikes...

0:04:10 > 0:04:14..I'll have his address now, if you please.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33All right, son?

0:04:34 > 0:04:38I remember when I first went to ask Grandfather James

0:04:38 > 0:04:40if I could take your mother out.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43I got so tongue-tied, trying to tell him how hard-working I was,

0:04:43 > 0:04:46he thought I was asking if I could clean the windows.

0:04:46 > 0:04:47So what happened?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49I ended up cleaning the windows.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53No, no, no. No, best be off, Mr Wegg's waiting.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56His leg's playing him up again.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Angry looking sores, he said, kept him up all night.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00You and him are getting very close.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Fanny Biggetywitch, to suggest that I am entering into some kind

0:05:04 > 0:05:09of romantic liaison with Mr Wegg as I am draining the pus from his

0:05:09 > 0:05:13one good leg is extremely insulting and I'll thank you not to repeat it.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15Good day.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Oh.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Oh! Mr Scrooge!

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Miss Biggetywitch.

0:05:24 > 0:05:29I was most distressed to hear about Mr Marley's demise.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30Why? What was he to you?

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Oh, well, nothing, now you ask,

0:05:32 > 0:05:34but you'd have to be cold-hearted not to mourn the loss

0:05:34 > 0:05:40of a person, even if he or she were no more than a passing acquaintance.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41If you say so.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45- I hear his innards were strewn about.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46DOOR SLAMS

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Oh.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Ow!

0:05:55 > 0:05:57DOOR CLOSES

0:06:00 > 0:06:04I'm having to press my own shirts. It's barbaric!

0:06:04 > 0:06:07Then find yourself a laundress, for heaven's sake!

0:06:07 > 0:06:08Where?

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Ask someone.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Actually, Compeyson, I've been thinking,

0:06:18 > 0:06:19maybe I should go home.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22At Satis House, I could be more useful there.

0:06:22 > 0:06:26And have your shirts pressed for you?

0:06:26 > 0:06:29You've never been poor, have you, Havisham?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32When you have nothing...

0:06:32 > 0:06:37the one thing that burns into your soul more than the poverty itself

0:06:37 > 0:06:39is watching those around you with less wit

0:06:39 > 0:06:41who have everything.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45The injustice of it tears at your soul.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49No-one will give you what is rightfully yours, Arthur,

0:06:49 > 0:06:54you must wrench it from those that have taken it from you.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00To win over this sister of yours, I will need cash.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04She must feel me as an equal, a man of means.

0:07:05 > 0:07:0650 should do it.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Where am I to get my hands on that kind of money?

0:07:12 > 0:07:15I'm sure you'll think of something.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Does Amelia Haversham know that you are seeing your captain?

0:07:36 > 0:07:37She is my friend.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39And does she approve?

0:07:39 > 0:07:42True friends do not pass judgment on each other.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45And if he isn't promoted and remains penniless,

0:07:45 > 0:07:47will you desist in seeing him?

0:07:47 > 0:07:50He will get his promotion,

0:07:50 > 0:07:53then he will call on Father officially to ask for his blessing.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Fortunately, I don't need yours.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58No, you don't.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02You will do exactly as you wish, Honoria, as always.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Since Mother died, I have been expected to take her place,

0:08:05 > 0:08:08running the house, while you seem to be left to do as you please

0:08:08 > 0:08:10without a care in the world.

0:08:10 > 0:08:14The role of mother is one you took upon yourself, ignoring

0:08:14 > 0:08:17the fact that you lack any of the qualities necessary to carry it out.

0:08:34 > 0:08:35BIRDSONG

0:08:40 > 0:08:45Get your hands off me! Get your hands off me!

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Let him up, lads.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48He knows he's not going anywhere.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53Sit him down here.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57GROANING

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Sorry about all the fuss, Bill.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02You ain't got no cause for all this.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06Come now, you didn't expect me to come looking for you on my own.

0:09:06 > 0:09:08I wish you had.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10I need to ask you a few questions is all.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14About Mr Jacob Marley.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19It's murder, Bill. Someone will hang.

0:09:19 > 0:09:23Lots of people more important than me aren't too fussy who.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29When you came in here, lads, I'm assuming Mr Sikes here

0:09:29 > 0:09:33didn't sit still and wait for you to jump on him.

0:09:34 > 0:09:40So which way did he move? To his left or to his right?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52I dare say when you saw these four big lumps

0:09:52 > 0:09:57coming through your door, you thought you might need a leveller, eh, Bill?

0:10:06 > 0:10:11Lock him up, lads, and let him sweat for a bit,

0:10:11 > 0:10:15bore some of that swagger out of him.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17GROANING

0:10:18 > 0:10:22I never heard anyone say a good word about him.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26They probably got enough suspects to go three times round St Paul's.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29There'll be money at the heart of it, sure as I've got woodworm.

0:10:29 > 0:10:34Oh, you ought to take more care of yourself, sores on your one good leg

0:10:34 > 0:10:38and worm in the other, you'll soon not have any means to stay upright.

0:10:38 > 0:10:43Mr Venus rubbed beeswax on it. Worms can't abide beeswax.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Oh, I had a thought that you smelled very sweet for a publican,

0:10:46 > 0:10:48as you slid up your trouser leg.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54So how much is all this attention going to cost me, Mrs Gamp?

0:10:54 > 0:10:56If you don't mind me asking.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Mr Wegg!

0:10:58 > 0:11:02I'm horrified that you'd think I was disposed to take money from you!

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Money should not be exchanged between friends.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09Of course, if you thought my kindness was worthy of a gin or two.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12Two gins it is, then.

0:11:12 > 0:11:13I'll get one now?

0:11:17 > 0:11:20I'm not entirely sure I'm ready to be an officer's wife.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23Well, when my promotion comes, you'll have no choice.

0:11:23 > 0:11:24Won't I, now?

0:11:24 > 0:11:28No, you'll have to do my bidding. Follow orders like everyone else.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Except I'm not everyone else.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34You'll toe the line, Miss Barbary, or I shall put you on report.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37No, seriously, this isn't going to work, because I might be persuaded

0:11:37 > 0:11:41to be the good little wife in public for the sake of appearances,

0:11:41 > 0:11:44but when we're at home, it will have to be a different matter.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Nonsense. My word will be law.

0:11:47 > 0:11:48Is that so?

0:11:48 > 0:11:49Yes, it is.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50In that case...

0:11:52 > 0:11:54No, you wouldn't dare...

0:11:54 > 0:11:55Oh, no?

0:11:58 > 0:12:00No, James!

0:12:00 > 0:12:03Er, do excuse my future wife, she's quite wild.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05But rest assured, I shall yet tame her!

0:12:09 > 0:12:11KNOCKING

0:12:20 > 0:12:23May I see Miss Barbary? It's a matter of some urgency.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Would that be Miss Honoria or Miss Frances?

0:12:25 > 0:12:28It's all right, Rose. I'll deal with it.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Begging your pardon, ma'am, I'm looking for Captain Hawdon.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Only he confided in me that he would be

0:12:32 > 0:12:35calling on Miss Barbary today, and I have urgent need of him.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37- He said he'd be here? At the house? - No, ma'am.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38As it's a matter of some importance,

0:12:38 > 0:12:41I took it on myself to call and ask if his whereabouts were known.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43No, they are not.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Then I am sorry for troubling you, ma'am. Er, miss.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48- You say it's important? - Indeed it is, miss.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Then perhaps you'd like to leave a message.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Well, it's Colonel Mortimer you see, miss, a change of plan,

0:12:53 > 0:12:56we've had word that he will now be at the barracks for an hour or two

0:12:56 > 0:12:58until six o'clock this evening.

0:12:58 > 0:12:59That's it?

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Yes, miss, the captain will understand.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02Wait.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05If it's as important as you say it is, I'm keen to give him

0:13:05 > 0:13:08the message properly and promptly on his return.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Yet I'm unsure as to the nature of the colonel's visit.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14The captain is very dear to me, you see.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18It's well-known that the colonel likes Captain Hawdon and also that

0:13:18 > 0:13:21he has a commission to offer before leaving to go to the colonies.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25So you see if the captain should arrive at the barracks before six,

0:13:25 > 0:13:27well, it would serve him very well indeed.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29I, er, I wrote him a note to say as much.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32Then I shall ensure that he gets it, the very second that I see him.

0:13:32 > 0:13:34Thank you, miss. Good day to you.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35Good day.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47I hate having to snatch time here and there.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Well, soon, we'll never be apart.

0:13:49 > 0:13:53You'll be my wife and we'll travel the world, to the colonies.

0:13:53 > 0:13:56India! You'll ride an elephant at sunset.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00You really think that all can happen?

0:14:00 > 0:14:04I'll make it so. It's just a matter of time.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13KNOCKING

0:14:23 > 0:14:25What are you doing here?

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Are you not going to ask me in?

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I'm afraid it's not what you're used to.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44Nor you.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47To what do I owe the pleasure, sister?

0:14:47 > 0:14:51Perhaps I could bring myself to understand why you may be angry

0:14:51 > 0:14:53with Father, but it's beyond me

0:14:53 > 0:14:55why you act with such hostility toward me.

0:14:55 > 0:14:56You wonder why I'm hostile

0:14:56 > 0:15:00when you now have everything that is mine by right?

0:15:00 > 0:15:01You ask too much.

0:15:01 > 0:15:07Then why are you here? Just to revel in my misery?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10I'm here to ask you to come home.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12I don't have a home.

0:15:16 > 0:15:19We both know that's not true!

0:15:27 > 0:15:31Perhaps we could discuss your salary from the brewery,

0:15:31 > 0:15:33make things more comfortable for you.

0:15:35 > 0:15:39So that's why you came? To offer me charity?

0:15:40 > 0:15:42The crumbs from your table?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45It doesn't have to be like this, Arthur.

0:15:45 > 0:15:49Then give me what is mine.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54I cannot.

0:15:59 > 0:16:00Then get out!

0:16:09 > 0:16:12With all this talk of murderers roaming the streets,

0:16:12 > 0:16:15Mrs Bumble has worn herself out and is sleeping, which is

0:16:15 > 0:16:19a state I find very acceptable.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22On account of the peace and quiet it affords, no doubt.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25Mrs Bumble is a very passionate woman in every respect,

0:16:25 > 0:16:30but mostly she is very passionate about giving instructions

0:16:30 > 0:16:33and insisting those instructions are carried out to the letter,

0:16:33 > 0:16:37which can be very tiring, not only to her what is supplying that

0:16:37 > 0:16:43passionate entreaty but also to him what is in receipt of it.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47You have the patience of a saint, Mr Bumble, I've often said so.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51Now, you warm yourself by the fire and let me fetch you a drink.

0:16:51 > 0:16:57Oh, Mrs Gamp, thank you, your nursing capacity knows no bounds.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00A small ale will suffice.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Oh? Can I tempt you to join me?

0:17:06 > 0:17:08Oh, Mr Bumble!

0:17:08 > 0:17:12Drinking during the day, in the company of a married gentleman?

0:17:12 > 0:17:16In a public place, for everyone to see and to risk them what sees

0:17:16 > 0:17:19jumping to conclusions which are untrue and without foundation?

0:17:19 > 0:17:21And risking my own good name

0:17:21 > 0:17:25and my standing in the community for the sake of a shot of gin?

0:17:26 > 0:17:29Better make it just the one.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Daisy, small ale, large gin.- Yes.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34Mr Fagin and Mr Scrooge were definitely in here,

0:17:34 > 0:17:37I served them meself.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41And Bill Sikes too, but he left before the other two, as I recall.

0:17:41 > 0:17:47- Time?- Hard to say, we're busy Christmas Eve, one hour merges into another.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50I don't doubt it, Mr Wegg, and I don't wish to tax you more

0:17:50 > 0:17:56than I must, but, if I were to say to you that Bill Sikes left here

0:17:56 > 0:17:58just before eight o'clock,

0:17:58 > 0:18:03how much later than that would you say Mr Scrooge or Mr Fagin left?

0:18:03 > 0:18:08Could that have been before half past ten o'clock, would you say?

0:18:08 > 0:18:09Could have been.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Why do you need the cash, Arthur?

0:18:22 > 0:18:25You'll have your salary from the brewery, due each month.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27It's not insubstantial.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30Wages? Paid by my sister.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32You also have a 10% stake in the brewery.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35I'm his son, it should all be mine.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39I feel obliged to ask again, why do you need the money?

0:18:39 > 0:18:42I am not a child, I don't have to explain myself to you.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45No, but how am I to release the funds

0:18:45 > 0:18:46without demonstrating good cause?

0:18:46 > 0:18:50I cannot always be at the mercy of my sister! It's impossible!

0:18:50 > 0:18:52She's head of the company.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Hm, that won't last, the board will never accept her.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59Your father made provision for you that will reward hard work

0:18:59 > 0:19:01and honest endeavour.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05If only you were to embrace your father's wishes.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Go home, Arthur.

0:19:07 > 0:19:08DOOR SLAMS

0:19:11 > 0:19:13Thank you, Nell.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14You're going away?

0:19:14 > 0:19:16I am visiting my nephew.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17For long?

0:19:17 > 0:19:18A week or so.

0:19:20 > 0:19:26My granddaughter knows more about this shop than I ever did.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Please continue, Inspector.

0:19:28 > 0:19:33Mr Marley's journal shows he made a collection here on Christmas Eve.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Yes, he did.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36How did he seem?

0:19:37 > 0:19:39"Seem"?

0:19:39 > 0:19:40His mood?

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Black as always.

0:19:42 > 0:19:44You disliked him?

0:19:44 > 0:19:45Intensely.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47Enough to take his life?

0:19:48 > 0:19:52Given the right circumstance, perhaps.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55But, though I do not mourn him,

0:19:55 > 0:19:58I am not the man you're looking for, Inspector.

0:19:58 > 0:20:02Nevertheless, may I ask you where you were on Christmas Eve?

0:20:02 > 0:20:04Here.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Alone?

0:20:06 > 0:20:10With me. I was sick and he didn't leave my side.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24The funds you've expected arrived?

0:20:24 > 0:20:26You have seven pounds in your hand, sir.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27And another 40 that isn't.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30You'll have the rest when I have it.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34You talk about the repayment of your loan as something that will

0:20:34 > 0:20:39happen at your convenience and not according to the terms we agreed.

0:20:39 > 0:20:44I will see the rest, or you will see the bailiff.

0:20:44 > 0:20:47How dare you speak to me like that?

0:20:47 > 0:20:50If you prefer polite conversation over tea

0:20:50 > 0:20:54and dilled cucumber sandwiches, perhaps you might be better placed

0:20:54 > 0:20:56asking your bankers to lend you money?

0:20:58 > 0:21:00No?

0:21:00 > 0:21:02I thought not.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06Good day, sir.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16FOOTSTEPS

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Ah.

0:21:25 > 0:21:29What brings a Havisham to my humble establishment?

0:21:29 > 0:21:31A loan.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Security?

0:21:34 > 0:21:37I have a stake in the Havisham brewery.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48I'm sorry, Mr Bucket, it didn't come from here.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51There's just about everything else on here - blood, bits of hair,

0:21:51 > 0:21:55even a bit of bone, but no chip out of it what matches.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Maybe he had another cosh tucked away,

0:22:00 > 0:22:03but, er, this isn't the one used to murder Jacob Marley.

0:22:11 > 0:22:12You're home.

0:22:12 > 0:22:13So it would seem.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17And your captain has returned to his barracks?

0:22:17 > 0:22:20No, he's not due back until tomorrow, why do you ask?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23I was being polite. I'm sorry, it won't happen again.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Frances, please, I have no wish to argue with you.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Were there any callers for me?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33None.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52Well, you've had a good long while to think.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Is there anything you'd like to tell me?

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Like to grab hold of my head

0:22:59 > 0:23:02and push it through that wall, Bill, wouldn't you?

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Temper, you see, I've got one meself,

0:23:06 > 0:23:11although Mrs Bucket has rounded the edges off it over the years.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20I know you dropped a girl called Nancy off at Jacob Marley's

0:23:20 > 0:23:23at eight o'clock, picked her up again.

0:23:23 > 0:23:24What time?

0:23:24 > 0:23:25Nine.

0:23:25 > 0:23:29And where did you go after then until half past ten?

0:23:29 > 0:23:30For a drink.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31Where?

0:23:31 > 0:23:33Can't remember.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39Tell me about this Nancy, Bill. Pretty, is she?

0:23:39 > 0:23:41It's a crying shame, it is.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46Sending a young girl to a man like that.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Not a nice man, by all accounts.

0:23:51 > 0:23:53Hate to think of it.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Is that why you done him, Bill?

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Did he hurt her?

0:24:03 > 0:24:07After you dropped her off home, you went back, didn't you?

0:24:07 > 0:24:10You saw him leave the house and you followed him.

0:24:10 > 0:24:15Down towards the docks, waiting for your moment,

0:24:15 > 0:24:19then he turned down that alley.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23out of sight, and you saw your chance.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Didn't you, Bill?

0:24:28 > 0:24:30No.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33And you've got no proof I did.

0:24:34 > 0:24:38Cos if you did, you wouldn't be here still talking to me.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43I got witnesses that will swear they saw me somewhere else

0:24:43 > 0:24:45when Marley got what was coming to him.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49So if you've got something,

0:24:49 > 0:24:54let's me and you do a little dance in front of the beak in the morning.

0:24:54 > 0:24:59But if you haven't, I want to be sleeping in my own bed tonight.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Honoria, now that Christmas Day is out of the way,

0:25:10 > 0:25:13we've been meaning to talk to you about Father's business interests.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Frances, no.

0:25:15 > 0:25:16She has a right to know.

0:25:16 > 0:25:17Know what?

0:25:17 > 0:25:19We are facing ruin.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23All is not lost. There may still be some stock.

0:25:23 > 0:25:25We have no money.

0:25:25 > 0:25:30Our Christmas was purchased with a loan from Scrooge and Marley.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Father had hoped to protect you,

0:25:32 > 0:25:35but I'm sure that you'd like to share the burden.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Well, of course I would!

0:25:37 > 0:25:38Excellent.

0:25:38 > 0:25:42Then I shall leave Father to explain everything to you himself.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46Father?

0:25:46 > 0:25:49CLOCK CHIMES SIX

0:26:19 > 0:26:21DOOR OPENS

0:26:21 > 0:26:24Arthur, where have you been? I've been waiting hours!

0:26:24 > 0:26:26You set me a task, did you not?

0:26:26 > 0:26:28And?

0:26:33 > 0:26:35Use it as you will.

0:26:46 > 0:26:51I want every penny back that belongs to me.

0:26:55 > 0:26:58Bill, my dear, thank goodness,

0:26:58 > 0:27:01I've been trying to get word to you all day.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03Is that right?

0:27:03 > 0:27:06I thought you should know, Mr Bucket is looking for you.

0:27:06 > 0:27:07Here, was he?

0:27:07 > 0:27:08A fleeting visit.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Funny he came here looking, when all the time he knew where I lived.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15- He did?- Must have done, on account of him kicking my door in.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21Unless of course he only found out where I lived after he'd been here.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25I'd mind what you're saying, Bill,

0:27:25 > 0:27:27you shouldn't go accusing people of things like that.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30You sell me down the river, did you, Fagin?

0:27:30 > 0:27:33You've had a very difficult day, my dear, I can see that.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Come and warm yourself by the fire,

0:27:35 > 0:27:38see if I can't find you a drop of something.

0:27:38 > 0:27:44How about I crack open your skull and see if the lies fall out?

0:27:45 > 0:27:47Have you forgotten who I am, Bill?

0:27:47 > 0:27:49In your rage?

0:27:49 > 0:27:53Forgotten the order of things, my dear?

0:27:53 > 0:27:55You threaten me again, I will gut you like a fish

0:27:55 > 0:27:57and feed you to the rats.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02Now or never, Bill.
