0:01:22 > 0:01:24This had better be worth waking me for.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Mr Jaggers said I was to put it direct in your hand

0:01:27 > 0:01:29and leave nothing to chance, sir.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Boy?

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yes!

0:01:46 > 0:01:49It means nothing to you, does it? The ruinous state our family is in.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Of course it does, but Papa assures me that there is a way through. - And of course, you believe him,

0:01:53 > 0:01:56because then you may continue to dance through life,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58unencumbered by bitter realities.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01Honoria?

0:02:01 > 0:02:03I trust Papa.

0:02:08 > 0:02:09DOOR OPENS

0:02:13 > 0:02:14DOOR SHUTS

0:02:26 > 0:02:28You have made me look like a liar, Papa.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37We shall be cold for the rest of the week, then.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39I will reverse our fortunes.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41And in the meantime, we shall all wrap ourselves in blankets

0:02:41 > 0:02:45and tell each other that there is nothing to worry about(!)

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Scraping, like a miser?

0:02:51 > 0:02:54Scraping, scraping, scraping!!

0:02:54 > 0:02:57You could have been married, Frances, and far away from this.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59You chose to break your engagement

0:02:59 > 0:03:02and now you are here - a mouth to feed!

0:03:05 > 0:03:08So maybe, it is you that's the problem.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33BUCKET'S BACK CRICKS HE GROANS

0:03:37 > 0:03:40CLOCK TICKS

0:03:45 > 0:03:47CLOCK STRIKES THE HOUR

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Mr Scrooge sir, it is nearly time.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Every second has value, Cratchit.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06CLOCK STRIKES

0:04:09 > 0:04:11NOW it's time.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13CHURCH BELL TOLLS

0:04:16 > 0:04:18PALLBEARERS COUGH

0:04:19 > 0:04:24Nothing but good mahogany can keep in the stench of a putrefying corpse

0:04:24 > 0:04:27and Marley left no provision for such a coffin.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31Jacob Marley left no provision for a coffin at all,

0:04:31 > 0:04:33or, indeed, any funeral.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37It's the common pit for him, I'm afraid.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Well, then. There's an end to it.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46Mr Scrooge, sir, are we not going along, to say a few words?

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Rest in peace, amen.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Oh, Mr Cratchit, sir?- Oh, John.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00There is no need for "sir" or "Mr Cratchit".

0:05:00 > 0:05:03I told you, "Mr C" or "Bob". I prefer "Bob".

0:05:03 > 0:05:06I was hoping to have a talk with you, sir - Bob, before tomorrow.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08Getting cold feet about the wedding?

0:05:08 > 0:05:12No! No, sir, my feet is blazin' hot! My feet is a furnace!

0:05:12 > 0:05:15I just thought - man to man, just us two -

0:05:15 > 0:05:18I could buy you an ale, sir, Cratchit, mister?

0:05:18 > 0:05:21- That's a splendid idea, John... - Cratchit!- ..but not right now.

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Another time.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26(Stone me...)

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Your order, sir.

0:05:36 > 0:05:37Thank you.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40You're a fine cook, madam.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41Thank you, sir.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Can't show 'em your fear, the law.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52Cos they'll twist you - twist your words, twist it all.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54That's what they do.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56No fear.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59She'll be late. Don't be late. Go. Go!

0:06:02 > 0:06:06Be easy in yourself and in your manner - but not too easy.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10Helping the law without helping them, hm? Go.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11No fear, Nancy.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Don't give 'em nothing!

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Champagne and Cognac for the Havisham party.

0:06:44 > 0:06:45I'll take that.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57What do you think?

0:06:57 > 0:06:59It's beautiful, Honoria.

0:06:59 > 0:07:03Isn't it perfect? You will look so lovely tonight.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07Mary told me you were awake all night - again.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10I've only had a few days to learn everything I can about the brewery.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14And now, I have it all, up here.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18So, if the shareholders want to question me about hops, or malt,

0:07:18 > 0:07:21or harvest, or import costs, or distillation,

0:07:21 > 0:07:25- I can give them chapter and verse. - It's a party, Amelia.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27No-one's going to want to talk to you about hops.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29No-one's judging you.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32I'm a woman in a man's world. Of course they'll be judging me.

0:07:32 > 0:07:34And Father, too.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37They'll think he'd lost his mind, leaving the daughter in charge.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- But I will not have that. - Well, why shouldn't you be in charge?

0:07:41 > 0:07:44A woman rules our country, our whole Empire.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48Think of her, Queen Amelia(!) THEY GIGGLE

0:07:48 > 0:07:51That's better. Come on, I'll walk with you.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53Come along, Jip.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31I don't break bread with bluebottles.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46How did that happen?

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Oh, Marley did it.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51Why?

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Well, why does any rich man hit a poor woman?

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Because he wants to, and he knows he'll get away with it.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58Come, now.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00A man doesn't hit a woman for no reason.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02You don't know men the way I do.

0:09:06 > 0:09:11Miss Nancy, you were the last to see Jacob Marley alive.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13No, that'd be his killer.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16One of the last. What did you talk about?

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Well, I weren't there for conversing with, was I?

0:09:19 > 0:09:22Mr Fagin wouldn't be happy with this now, would he?

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Being your protector.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27This ain't nothing special.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Our lives are different from yours.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32Well, Mr Sikes would be upset.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35Him being your young man and a hothead.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Bill dropped me home, then went out drinking.

0:09:39 > 0:09:40I didn't ask you where he went.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45Have you been tutored in your answers?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52You think Mr Sikes could kill a man?

0:09:52 > 0:09:55You pin this on Bill to get an easy result,

0:09:55 > 0:09:56you'll be missing the real felon.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00I'm not pinning anything on anyone. That is not my way.

0:10:00 > 0:10:02I just want the truth.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05You can trust me.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09You don't believe me?

0:10:13 > 0:10:15Right, Marley dies,

0:10:15 > 0:10:18and here's you, with your books and your maps and your questions,

0:10:18 > 0:10:21but girls like me are found dead every day and who cares?

0:10:22 > 0:10:25I've no cause to believe or trust the law.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28I'm going to be the one to change that, miss.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Is there something you want to say?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41No-one's listening. It's just me and you.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45So, if there's something you want to say...

0:10:45 > 0:10:48There ain't nothing. I'm done.

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Take the pie.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Eat it at your leisure.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02And he ain't my young man - Mr Sikes.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04I don't have a young man.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06I just have a lot of old ones.

0:11:15 > 0:11:16KNOCKS AT DOOR

0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Just one piece of cake? - The gallery at Greenwich?

0:11:20 > 0:11:23- No, we shall faint...- Very well.

0:11:24 > 0:11:25Miss Barbary?

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Miss Frances.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Sir Leicester.

0:11:31 > 0:11:32What a surprise!

0:11:36 > 0:11:38This sounds important, Jaggers.

0:11:38 > 0:11:39- It is.- Let me guess -

0:11:39 > 0:11:42the shareholders refuse to trust my sister with their money,

0:11:42 > 0:11:44as I told you they would.

0:11:44 > 0:11:46I am ready to take my rightful place.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54Arthur, the New Year reception is going ahead

0:11:54 > 0:11:56and I would very much like you to be there.

0:11:56 > 0:11:57Oh, of course you would.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01But my absence will scream.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06You think anyone will invest in a woman?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08In you?

0:12:09 > 0:12:13If you have a brewery at all within six months, I will be surprised,

0:12:13 > 0:12:16and you will have no-one except yourself to blame!

0:12:20 > 0:12:23I wonder if you might allow us some privacy?

0:12:30 > 0:12:32Now, you are going to give me a talk.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36But what can she do?

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Take away my meagre 10%?

0:12:39 > 0:12:41It is guaranteed to me, she has no leverage.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44You're quite correct. Your sister cannot take away your money.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Exactly.- I can.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Your father's will.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52I urge you to read the codicil.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Should you behave in a way that is damaging to the property -

0:12:58 > 0:12:59by which is meant the business -

0:12:59 > 0:13:02I am empowered to take away the means by which you live

0:13:02 > 0:13:04and cede them to your sister.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07All monies.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10You see his signature.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15You forced him to this!

0:13:15 > 0:13:17No, your father was never forced into anything.

0:13:17 > 0:13:21You will attend the reception. You will stand by your sister.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24You will act in a manner appropriate to your name and status.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29..Or you'll cut me off without a penny?

0:13:29 > 0:13:30Let me go destitute?

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Or I will exercise the codicil.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36Get yourself cleaned up.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Wash out your mouth.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42You stink of brandy and it is not yet ten of the clock.

0:13:51 > 0:13:52DOOR SLAMS

0:13:55 > 0:13:56He'll do as he's told.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04Really? Did you say that? Tell me everything.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07I have charge of them for the day.

0:14:07 > 0:14:12I had intended the Gallery at Greenwich. It's fascinating.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14But they have no interest in our naval history.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Pester me instead for cakes and hats.

0:14:17 > 0:14:20They are lucky girls to have such a benevolent uncle.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27You are much missed from the county, Miss Barbary.

0:14:27 > 0:14:28I was most distressed

0:14:28 > 0:14:31when I learned you were not to be a permanent neighbour.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37For a man to make promises of matrimony, then to break them?

0:14:37 > 0:14:40I have shunned him completely from my house and company.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45Sir Leicester, I have told my family

0:14:45 > 0:14:47it was I who broke off the engagement.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50I couldn't bear for them to know the truth.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54I... I would never dream...

0:14:54 > 0:14:55No, never.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02Well, the blasted fool would have made a sorry excuse for a husband.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06But a lady like yourself, my dear Miss Barbary,

0:15:06 > 0:15:09why, any man would be proud to call you his wife.

0:15:10 > 0:15:11Be comforted.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17If you are free tomorrow, Sir Leicester,

0:15:17 > 0:15:19perhaps you'd like to come for tea?

0:15:20 > 0:15:23It would be my very great pleasure, Miss Barbary.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Are you mad? The Havisham party is far too public.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32We cannot be seen together. I forbid it.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35No, no, Arthur. The reception is the perfect opportunity.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Get me an invitation, I'll be... - Who do you think you are?!

0:15:38 > 0:15:39Damn you!

0:15:39 > 0:15:43You do not give me orders! I am master here!

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Know your place!

0:16:05 > 0:16:06Well, my dear?

0:16:08 > 0:16:09Well, nothing.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11I told him nothing, he got nothing.

0:16:13 > 0:16:14Who's this from?

0:16:14 > 0:16:16Just lifted it.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28Mr Scrooge has received your request

0:16:28 > 0:16:31for a further loan to cover the shipping costs of your stock.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I cannot say why he has not answered yet.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36Go back to him, tell him I demand an answer now!

0:16:36 > 0:16:38Demanding makes a man look needy.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41Mr Scrooge will answer in due course.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44- I do not have due course! - DOOR OPENS

0:16:44 > 0:16:45DOOR SHUTS

0:16:49 > 0:16:50Miss Barbary.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Frances...

0:16:56 > 0:16:59my behaviour towards you was disgraceful.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Forgive me, please?

0:17:01 > 0:17:03You shouldn't even have to ask, Papa.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07We have a visitor tomorrow. A friend.

0:17:08 > 0:17:12We shall pile coal on the fire and drink good Assam tea.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15I look forward to it.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34What are you doing, John?

0:17:34 > 0:17:37Surprise for Martha. Don't say nothing to her.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47There's young ladies here, miss,

0:17:47 > 0:17:49wanting to see the early spring modes.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51They've asked to see the white ballgown.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Oh, your wedding dress!

0:17:54 > 0:17:56It's so pretty. Is it nearly finished?

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Nearly.

0:18:00 > 0:18:01Have you seen the fans?

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Oh, they're exquisite!

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Miss Barbary will be with you all shortly.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12You have to have a fan for the ball.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15And in fact, these shoes go perfectly with your new dress.

0:18:15 > 0:18:20Oh, I forgot - Captain Hawdon came by and left you this.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30SHE GIGGLES

0:18:38 > 0:18:41Mesdemoiselles et Monsieur...

0:18:41 > 0:18:44an example from our early spring modes.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Doesn't she look exquisite?

0:18:54 > 0:18:56It's beautiful, isn't it?

0:18:56 > 0:18:58That is divine, look at the detail.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Yes, and look at the shoulder...

0:19:28 > 0:19:29What are you waiting for?

0:19:36 > 0:19:37Go home, Cratchit.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47If you recall Mr Scrooge, sir,

0:19:47 > 0:19:49tomorrow, my Martha is getting married.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52And you are taking a day's unpaid leave of absence.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54Yes, yes, I remember. Now, get out!

0:19:55 > 0:19:57DOOR OPENS

0:19:57 > 0:19:59DOOR SHUTS

0:20:28 > 0:20:32Inspector. Don't look, pretend to be doing something else.

0:20:36 > 0:20:39There was shouting, that night.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42It was before I went to meet Marley.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46And him and Mr Scrooge, rowing in the street.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47What about?

0:20:48 > 0:20:51All I heard was, "Jaggers shall settle it."

0:20:53 > 0:20:55It's why Marley was so riled.

0:20:55 > 0:20:58And that can't come from me, Inspector. It just can't.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00I understand, miss. You can trust me.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17- SHOP BELL RINGS - I forgot my newspaper.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19It's under your arm, sir.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24So it is. How foolish of me.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29The young lady...

0:21:30 > 0:21:32..you called her Miss Barbary?

0:21:32 > 0:21:36I'm acquainted with Miss Barbary, a Miss Frances.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40- I wondered...? - Yes, indeed, sir, they are sisters.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Our young lady is Miss Honoria.

0:21:42 > 0:21:43Honoria...

0:21:45 > 0:21:46Well...

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Small world.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04For you.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08It's only tiny, but I saw it and I thought, "That is for the bride"

0:22:08 > 0:22:10and I had to get it.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12It's your "something new", Martha.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14And when I get married, you can lend it to me

0:22:14 > 0:22:17and it can be my "something borrowed".

0:22:17 > 0:22:19I'll treasure it. Thank you!

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Come on.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35I can't buy you no wedding present, Martha.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38But I thought, well...
