0:01:16 > 0:01:18MILITARY MARCHING DRUM
0:01:21 > 0:01:25A WOMAN SINGS "When ye gang awa', Jamie..."
0:01:27 > 0:01:33# ..ye but think of me
0:01:33 > 0:01:39# But, laddie, that's a time awa'
0:01:39 > 0:01:44# A mither's like to die... #
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Here's a bit of something for you.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13DOG GROWLS
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Now, laddie. I only want to be friendly. - GATE OPENS
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Here you are, Robbie.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Wait a minute, now.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27He's been here since Wednesday, when we buried the lad.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32Your son? He must have been a fine lad for the dog to love him so.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37Aye, he was. Gentle with little things, like Robbie here.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Now I cannae get the dog to leave, but it's probably for the best.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I havnae the money for a grave-watcher.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Not much danger here in Edinburgh.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54They're bold, the grave-robbers, and the daft doctors who drive them.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- I'm by way of being a medical myself.- A doctor?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Student. I've been studying under Dr MacFarlane.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08That is, I've been studying until today.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Here we are, ma'am.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Thank you.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Come, little miss.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Cabman Gray will carry you safe enough.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47- Would you like to give my horse a pat?- Yes.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50He knows every little girl in Edinburgh.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52As you run and play in the streets,
0:03:52 > 0:03:57- he'll nicker at you as we go by. - I can't run and play.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02I forgot. All the more reason for Fred to give you a hello.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06He'll keep an eye out for you. Won't you, Fred?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09There we are.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16There, now. Safe in your own wee cab.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Watch sharp, little miss, for Fred to give you a hello.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I would like to see Dr MacFarlane.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58It's all right, darling. Don't be afraid.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Dr MacFarlane.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12I'm Mrs Marsh. This is my daughter, Georgina.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Dr Maximillian sent me to you. - A famous colleague.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21- Might you examine my little girl? - Delighted to do so. Come in.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Thank you, Doctor.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Born paralysed? - No, it was an accident.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Was the paralysis immediate?- No.
0:05:38 > 0:05:44She seemed to get better, then six months later she had back pains.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- How long until complete paralysis? - Nearly a year.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- Any pain since?- Yes, Doctor. - Sporadic or constant?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56It comes at intervals. They used to be months apart,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59but they've been growing much more frequent.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Child, when you have this pain, where is it?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- I don't know.- Is it the middle of your back?- I don't know.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Low down in your back?- I don't know.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Point to where it hurts. You can do that, can't you?
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- Useless, ma'am!- Please, darling, don't be so stubborn.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Mother, he frightens me. KNOCK ON DOOR
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Excuse me, Dr MacFarlane.- Come in.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Can you can do something with this young lady?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I can't get a yes or no out of her.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- I only came to speak to you... - Test your bedside manner.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Are you a doctor too?- Not yet.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59You'll be a good one. I know all about doctors.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03It's a nice chair you have. Useful, too.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- It isn't English, is it? - You want to ask me about my back,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- about where it hurts?- Why, yes.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Well, it's all around here and down my legs.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19It aches as if I'd been walking an awfully long way.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24That's funny, isn't it? Because I can't walk at all.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Would you mind if I lifted you onto that table in there?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- The child seems to take to the lad. - Yes, she does.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41What accident was it, ma'am?
0:07:41 > 0:07:46A carriage overturned. My husband was killed and Georgina was hurt.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- How long ago?- Three years. - Dr MacFarlane?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Excuse me.- Certainly.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07See that?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16Fettes, wheel her into the hall.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24It seems Dr Maximillian is right.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29The violence of the accident caused a traumatic tumour,
0:08:29 > 0:08:32a growth that presses on the nerve centres.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Can anything be done?- Perhaps.
0:08:35 > 0:08:41A very delicate operation, never performed before, but it could be done.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43And you WILL try? You WILL operate?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- Not I, madam. - But wherever I've taken Georgina,
0:08:52 > 0:08:56they've mentioned your name. You're our only hope.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02Believe me, if I were only a doctor, I'd do it at once, but I've a school to run.
0:09:02 > 0:09:08- But surely, for a child who cannot walk or run...- I regret it, madam.
0:09:08 > 0:09:14To be responsible for training 30 doctors, to attend a thousand children like yours.
0:09:14 > 0:09:20There's nothing I can say for one small child?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I am not heartless, madam.
0:09:22 > 0:09:29I have every sympathy, but to see every case brought to me, I'd have no time to teach.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34It's a great responsibility upon me, ma'am.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Fettes, see Mrs Marsh to the door. Good day to you, ma'am.
0:09:50 > 0:09:56- Why did you want to see me? - I'm afraid I must give up medicine.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Give it up?! You're made for a doctor!
0:10:00 > 0:10:05I have to. My father is a parish vicar, not much of a living...
0:10:05 > 0:10:08You're good. I'll not let you quit.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10I'll tell you what I'll do.
0:10:10 > 0:10:17- I'll make you an assistant, pay your keep and tuition...- Only the best students are made assistants.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- But Richardson... - He has a glib tongue.
0:10:21 > 0:10:28- You'll be a better doctor. I'll explain your duties. - Dr MacFarlane,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- I'd like a word with you. - I'll follow you, Fettes.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- Are you having Fettes for your assistant?- Yes, he's a good lad.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Aye, he is. That's why I ask you, MacFarlane.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50You think it will spoil him? Wasn't I assistant to Knox?
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Aye.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Did it spoil me, Meg, my lass?
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Don't worry.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It'll do the boy no harm.
0:11:22 > 0:11:29- I can't express my gratitude, sir. - I'm happy, knowing I'll have trained the great Dr Fettes.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33As to your duties - keep the accounts
0:11:33 > 0:11:35and give statements to students.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Also, as you'll be living here... - < CRUNCH
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Joseph!
0:11:41 > 0:11:48Why are you sneaking about like a redskin? Make some noise!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Let people know you're about. - Yes, Doctor.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Or I'll think you're spying on me.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- You know where we get the bodies for the section? - From the municipal council.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- They're the bodies of paupers. - So the law stipulates.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09There aren't enough of them, Fettes.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28< HORSE NICKERS
0:12:37 > 0:12:41DOG SNARLS
0:12:43 > 0:12:45GROWLING CONTINUES...
0:12:49 > 0:12:51..AND IS SILENCED
0:13:08 > 0:13:12HORSE AND CARRIAGE APPROACHES
0:13:43 > 0:13:46HARD KNOCKING AT DOOR
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Give me a hand. This is heavy.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27You'll find this specimen in good condition.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31He was as bright as a thrush, not a week long gone.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34A likely lad, I'm told.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37You're a new assistant?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Aye. I'm Donald Fettes.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- I'm very pleased to know you, Master Fettes.- Mr Gray?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47That's right. Cabman Gray.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51I've had dealings with MacFarlane in the past.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54I always get on with his assistants,
0:14:54 > 0:14:59providing that they understand my humble position.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- Dr MacFarlane said I should pay you. - Of course.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06That's the soul of the business.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09I have no doubt the key is in your pocket.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14And the desk is over there.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24My fee is as usual,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26ten pounds.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Although it's none of my business, I'd make the proper entry.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37"Received, one specimen, £10."
0:15:37 > 0:15:42Shall we say from a MacDuff? A royal name.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Good night, Mr Gray.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02My respects, Master Fettes.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08And may this be the first of many profitable meetings.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14< LAUGHTER
0:16:14 > 0:16:20Well, my boy. Your first meeting with the redoubtable Gray.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It's a milestone in your medical career.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31LAUGHTER
0:16:36 > 0:16:40All right, gentlemen. That'll do.
0:16:40 > 0:16:45Dr MacFarlane asked me to review the points he discussed.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50First, the construction of the ribs and the haemoptyses.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Was this your doing, Servis?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Mr Fettes?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- A lady is asking for you. - What lady, Joseph?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09If you gentlemen will excuse me...
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Good morning, Mr Fettes. - You asked to see me?
0:17:18 > 0:17:23- I want you to help my girl. - I'm only a student.
0:17:23 > 0:17:29Georgina said you were kind. Can you intercede for us with Dr MacFarlane?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32I don't know if I can, Mrs Marsh.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Did he tell you about Georgina?- Aye.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Then he told you it was progressive.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42It will grow worse. Soon she will not be able to move at all.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49And you won't ask him to help?
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I didn't mean it that way, but I'm in no position to ask favours.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Ask this one favour.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Of course I will.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Georgina was right. You ARE a kind man, Mr Fettes.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I'll do what I can.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10You will find us every morning on the ramparts.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I take her there for her airing.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17In an adult, this muscle can apply 175lbs of pressure,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21The human jaw has double that strength.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24That is to chew our food and bite our enemies.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Life can't be all skittles and ladies.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Yes, sir.- Time for luncheon.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35I've a bit of beef to discuss.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39I'll leave you to your own arrangements.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Richardson, I see you have that arm you wanted.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Yes, sir. This fella would have been a great one at hurling the bar.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Beautiful biceps.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52- Burke and Hare could never have got the best of him!- What did you say?
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- Just making a joke, sir. - It's a poor subject for jest for a medical student.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- What did you say to him imperial highness?- Nothing but a merry word about Burke and Hare.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13There's nothing in that to get excited about. They're dead and buried.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16HE WHISTLES "Wi' A Hundred Pipers"
0:19:31 > 0:19:35They killed his wee doggy too.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Little Robbie.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Well, Fettes, where have you been?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02I didn't see you at the afternoon session.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05I don't think that I can go on, sir.
0:20:07 > 0:20:14What do you mean? You've got your lodgings. It's all arranged.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18I saw the woman whose son's body was delivered last night.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20It was taken from Greyfriars.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I knew the woman and the little dog on the grave.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- He killed the dog. - That's why you won't be a doctor?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Not if I'm a party to things like that, Dr MacFarlane.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Fettes, I was an assistant once.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42I had to deal with men like Gray.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Do you think I wanted to? Do you think I want to do it now?
0:20:45 > 0:20:48But I must, and YOU must.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Ignorant men dam progress with stupid, unjust laws.
0:20:54 > 0:21:00If that dam will not break, we find other courses. Do you understand?
0:21:00 > 0:21:05- Yes, but this woman and her son... - He might be alive today
0:21:05 > 0:21:09if more doctors worked with human specimens.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14As for me, I'll let no man stop me when I know I'm right.
0:21:14 > 0:21:19I need subjects for my students' enlightenment and my own knowledge.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23If you're a real man and want to be a good doctor,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25you will see it as I see it.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34# When ye gang awa', Jamie
0:21:35 > 0:21:41# Far across the sea, laddie
0:21:41 > 0:21:46# When ye gang awa', Jamie
0:21:47 > 0:21:51# What will ye send to me, laddie? #
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Evening, gentlemen.- How are you?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20THE BOY SINGS
0:22:25 > 0:22:31We'll have a stiffener of hot rum, so we meet this fellow on fairly equal terms for warmth.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35A fine specimen, isn't he, Toddy MacFarlane?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Come, Toddy, sit down here with me.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Don't call me that confounded name.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Well, then, Dr MacFarlane.
0:22:46 > 0:22:52I knew a time when you liked Toddy. Many are dead who called you by it.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Rough and wild ones. But sit down, with your friend.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00We have professional matters to discuss.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Medicine? That'll keep. Sit down.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09You wouldn't want it said that you refused a glass to an old friend.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14We'll buy you a glass, Gray.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I'm a pretty bad fellow myself, but MacFarlane's the boy.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24Oh, Toddy MacFarlane!
0:23:24 > 0:23:29- Why don't you order for your friend? On second thoughts,- I- will.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33A bowl of hot punch and a cut from the loin of pork.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Don't worry, waiter.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40I'm with my friend, the great Dr MacFarlane.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44He wants to sit here with the commonality.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51You were talking of medical matters. Don't let me stop you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Talk on, Toddy. - I will not have you call me that!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57You will not have it?
0:24:03 > 0:24:08- Dr MacFarlane, remember the lady who came to see you yesterday, with the little girl?- Yes.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13She came again to ask if you'd break your rule and operate?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- You're her only hope.- I'm a teacher.
0:24:16 > 0:24:22A teacher, eh? Maybe you're afraid to be a doctor.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Afraid? - That you're not as good as you say.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- I'm the best man for the job. - Do it, then.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I'd like for you to do the operation, Toddy.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Since when have you been this child's protector?
0:24:36 > 0:24:41It's not the child I'm concerned with. It's you.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Prove that a lot of things I know haven't hurt Toddy MacFarlane.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- I'll not do it, Gray.- Yes, you will.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- To oblige Mr Fettes and myself.- No.
0:24:54 > 0:25:00Maybe there's some private reasons between you and me that'll make you. Some long-lost friends,
0:25:00 > 0:25:02eh, Toddy?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Say you'll do it for me and my friend, Mr Fettes.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It might be an interesting case.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- That's a good boy!- You only want me to do it because I don't want to!
0:25:16 > 0:25:21- Isn't it, Gray?- Toddy hates me. - Don't call me that!
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Ever see the lads play knife?
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Toddy would like to do that all over my body.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34We medicals have a better way. If we dislike it, we dissect it.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38You'll never get rid of me that way, Toddy.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41We have two bodies - very different bodies.
0:25:41 > 0:25:48But we're closer than if we had the same skin, for I saved your skin,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50and you'll not forget it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56He said it might be an interesting case.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01- You have his promise?- Yes. But there will be great pain,
0:26:01 > 0:26:05during and after. Great pain and shock.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Pain? Shock?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12SHE'S brave enough, but I don't know about myself.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16I wonder if I dare trust my child into any but God's hands.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21I'd like to give you cause for courage.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Dr MacFarlane is the greatest man in medicine.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30God gave him such gifts so that he could cure Georgina.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Thank you, Mr Fettes.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Throw it over here!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40CHILDREN LAUGH
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Mummy! Mummy!
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Take me to the wall. I hear him! - Hear him?
0:26:54 > 0:26:59- The white horse who'll greet me when he sees me. - An old acquaintance, eh?
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Put your arms around me and we'll go up and see it.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16It was a brown horse, Mummy.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20A cabbie said his horse would say hello next time he saw her.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25Why do you want it to bid you good day?
0:27:25 > 0:27:31- He was a nice horse.- Maybe it's because you haven't friends enough.
0:27:31 > 0:27:37- Could that be it? - Of course I don't have friends. That's because I can't walk.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41I've tried to get used to it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46Don't get used to the wrong things. Do you want to walk, run and play?
0:27:46 > 0:27:50- You know how much she wants that. - Aye, but how much?
0:27:50 > 0:27:55- I want it so much. - But you'll have great pain.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Greater pain than you've ever had.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Do you want it that much?
0:28:00 > 0:28:05- Yes.- Then Dr MacFarlane will make you well.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19LAUGHTER >
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Gray's head... Is that it, Toddy?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Is that what you broke under the poker?
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Broken it, and have done with him forever?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32HE DROPS THE POKER
0:28:34 > 0:28:37My poor lad!
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- My poor lad that can never be free of him.- You're daft.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46What's Gray? A man from whom I buy what I need.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- The rest is forgotten. - You may deny him,
0:28:50 > 0:28:55- but you'll not be rid of him by saying the devil's dead.- Nonsense.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59You're a fey creature, with mad ideas,
0:28:59 > 0:29:03but you have a wildness that holds me to you.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05No great lady can take my place?
0:29:11 > 0:29:13KNOCK AT DOOR
0:29:17 > 0:29:20KNOCK AT DOOR >
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Come in.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Fettes, I didn't expect to see you on Sunday.
0:29:28 > 0:29:34Do you want powders for that aching head? We drank a furious lot.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38It's about the operation on the Marsh girl.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Do you hold me to a promise given in drink?
0:29:42 > 0:29:46But...I met Mrs Marsh and told her.
0:29:46 > 0:29:51- You irk me with your lack of understanding!- But you promised.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Not I, nor anyone,
0:29:54 > 0:30:00knows enough about the spinal column's intricacies to ensure a successful operation.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- I'd have to study it. Have we any subjects?- No.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10- Wilmot used the last spinal section. - You see? It's out of the question.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Yes, I suppose so.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20STREET SINGER SINGS "I'll send you a brand new goun, Jeannie"
0:30:20 > 0:30:27# The brawest in the toun, lassie
0:30:27 > 0:30:33# And it shall be of silk and gold
0:30:34 > 0:30:39# Wi' flounces to the knee, lassie
0:30:39 > 0:30:44Do you know where Gray the Cabman lives?
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- # That's nae gift at all, Jamie... - Thank you all the same.
0:30:48 > 0:30:56# Silk and gold and all, laddie
0:30:56 > 0:31:04# There's nae aucht gold in all the land
0:31:04 > 0:31:11# I like when ye're awa', laddie. #
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- <- Come in.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Oh...
0:32:10 > 0:32:13It's the young doctor, come to see me.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I'm honoured, honoured.
0:32:16 > 0:32:21Come in, come in.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Here, sir. Take this.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26It's the most comfortable chair.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30To what do I owe the honour of this visit?
0:32:30 > 0:32:36- Some business of Dr MacFarlane's? - Dr MacFarlane didn't send me.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39I came of my own accord.
0:32:43 > 0:32:49What are the chances of your getting us a subject?
0:32:49 > 0:32:54Well, that'd be difficult. Very difficult.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57A dog bothered me during the last job.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01People are so concerned about...dogs.
0:33:01 > 0:33:07It raised the father and mother of a row. The kirkyard is guarded.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I wouldn't say it was impossible.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15How soon? Dr MacFarlane is engaged in urgent research.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17He can't wait. He'll have to.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- Can't you give me any idea? - How could I?
0:33:21 > 0:33:27I'll do the best I can. After all, I am financially interested.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31You may tell Toddy I'll do what I can when I can,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33as he knows I will.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37He must wait and see, as the children do.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41If that's your answer, I suppose it will have to do.
0:33:49 > 0:33:54# Mony a heart will break in twa
0:33:54 > 0:34:00# Should he ne'er come back again
0:34:03 > 0:34:10# Will ye no' come back again?
0:34:10 > 0:34:18# Will ye no' come back again? #
0:34:18 > 0:34:21There's bad news, boy, bad news.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24We have to go out again.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32# What will ye send to me, laddie?
0:34:32 > 0:34:38# I'll send ye a brand new goun, Jeannie
0:34:38 > 0:34:49# The brawest in the toun, lassie
0:34:49 > 0:34:57# And it shall be of silk and gold

0:35:06 > 0:35:12# Silk and gold and all... #
0:35:12 > 0:35:14SUDDENLY CUTS OFF
0:35:49 > 0:35:52RAPPING AT DOOR
0:36:09 > 0:36:15- There, sooner than we thought. A stroke of luck you might say.- Good.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19That's the street singer. I know her, I tell you, she was alive
0:36:19 > 0:36:23only this evening, it's impossible she can be dead.
0:36:23 > 0:36:27You could not have gotten this body fairly.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31You're entirely mistaken.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35You'd better give me my money and make the proper entry.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55Goodnight, Doctor.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23HE WHISTLES HAPPILY
0:37:23 > 0:37:28- Good morning, Master Fettes. - Do you know the street singer who sang "When ye gang awa', Jamie"?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Every street singer knows it.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35She was beautiful. A wild lass from the Highlands.
0:37:35 > 0:37:41It's a wonder I hadn't noticed her. Oh, this girl.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45Dr MacFarlane, she was murdered.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I saw Gray last night to ask for a specimen.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51On my way, I saw this girl.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54- I gave her money. She was alive and singing.- Well?
0:37:54 > 0:37:59- Gray killed her.- We can't be sure.
0:37:59 > 0:38:06I am, and I'll report it. It's like Burke and Hare all over again!
0:38:06 > 0:38:08I wouldn't do that.
0:38:08 > 0:38:13Grave-robbing is one thing. This is murder!
0:38:13 > 0:38:16She may have been an epileptic.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Thrown a fit, fallen out of bed and cracked her skull.
0:38:20 > 0:38:26- It's all explained. That bruise on her forehead.- I can't believe that.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30Believe it or not, it's best to pretend you do.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34You ordered the subject, received it and paid for it.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38You are a party to murder.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- I didn't ask him to kill. - Who would believe that?
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Someone else might recognise her. She was very well known.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50We should do what we always do: dissection.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52I'll help you, of course.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56I want the whole centrum myself,
0:38:56 > 0:39:00for spinal work. You know why.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Have a drop. It will help.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I couldn't swallow.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23How long has it been?
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Only 20 minutes.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Only 20 minutes...
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Now, watch closely, gentlemen.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43This is the heart of the matter.
0:39:43 > 0:39:50- Wait, doctor, wait, the child is fainting.- Good, so much the better.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- Pulse?- Slow. Not too alarming. - Let us proceed.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55The final step.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Push the ganglia to one side
0:39:59 > 0:40:03and make the osseous incision here.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08So, it's done.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11The repair is effected.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Nothing left to do but replace the tissue
0:40:14 > 0:40:19and let nature heal what is no longer a defect,
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- merely a wound.- Bravo.
0:40:23 > 0:40:28In a second, you can consider her YOUR patient, Fettes.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- Doctor...- What's wrong with you?
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Creeping about! What do you want?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- Mr Gray... - I don't want to speak with him.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Say there will be no more business between us.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Good afternoon, Toddy.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56Well, I'm to have the pleasure of speaking to him myself. You can go.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05That wasn't a friendly thing I heard, Toddy.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07That has nothing to do with it.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12I'm doing more lecturing and less dissection. It's for the students.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16You know what you want and what you don't.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19There's the end of our business.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22But we'll still be friends, Toddy.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27I'll be stopping by to see you and Meg, for auld lang syne.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30I suppose I can't prevent that,
0:41:30 > 0:41:33for auld lang syne.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43And do you think you're getting rid of me, Toddy?
0:41:43 > 0:41:45HE LAUGHS
0:41:53 > 0:41:57I would like to speak to you.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01- I presume you shall. This won't be my last visit.- Alone.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05- I saw something. I heard... - What did you hear?- I know...
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Maybe some other time.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12You'll have ample opportunity.
0:42:12 > 0:42:18- Good afternoon, Master Fettes. - Good afternoon.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21I just saw Gray. What was he laughing at?
0:42:21 > 0:42:25Perhaps his horse tickled him in the rib.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30Mrs Marsh says the incision has healed clean and fine,
0:42:30 > 0:42:33but Georgina has no desire to walk.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36When she's ready, bring her to me.
0:42:36 > 0:42:44- Do you know what happiness you've brought to them?- That's the way of it, Fettes. Bring the lassie to me.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Don't you want to find the white horse?
0:42:52 > 0:42:57- You can't do it from there. You have to walk.- I can't!
0:42:57 > 0:43:03You can't? Don't bribe her with childishness. Let her walk.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Her spine's all right. I know it is!
0:43:06 > 0:43:11- She must WANT to walk.- She's a cripple. Of course she does!
0:43:11 > 0:43:15Child, get up out of that chair and walk!
0:43:18 > 0:43:24I ask you to do a simple thing. Raise yourself with your hands to a standing posture,
0:43:24 > 0:43:28then step out with your left foot.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Try it. I say, try it.
0:43:31 > 0:43:34Lift yourself up now.
0:43:36 > 0:43:38Good. Now step out.
0:43:38 > 0:43:41- Step out!- I can't.
0:43:41 > 0:43:45I can't. My legs won't move!
0:43:45 > 0:43:50- Nonsense. They will!- Georgina's a good child, a brave child.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53You saw her in the operation.
0:43:53 > 0:44:00- She says she can't move. - But everything's in place. - She would if she could.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02Then, all my surgery is no good.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06There's something wrong with the child.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Something I don't know.
0:44:08 > 0:44:11Something I can't diagnose.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15I can do nothing for her.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18See Mrs Marsh home. I'll be at Hobbs'.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21- Join me there later.- Yes, sir.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43Do you have a fare for me - a gentleman taken with his wine?
0:44:43 > 0:44:49- MacFarlane will want to be freighted home.- Dr MacFarlane?
0:44:49 > 0:44:54- He's as stiff as the bodies he deals with.- I'll look in on him.
0:45:04 > 0:45:11- Toddy.- Oh, it's you, Gray. Come in. Have a glass with me.
0:45:11 > 0:45:16Uncommon friendly tonight, Toddy - more like the old days.
0:45:16 > 0:45:21I want someone to talk to. Fettes went off with the widow.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24You know something of the human body.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27I've had...some experience.
0:45:27 > 0:45:32You'll understand. The backbone is a lot of little blocks.
0:45:32 > 0:45:37The blocks are held together, so it works like that whip of yours.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42- You know that?- I've never had it explained by a learned man.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46I set them, patched the muscles, put the nerves straight.
0:45:46 > 0:45:50I did it and I did it right, but she won't walk.
0:45:50 > 0:45:56- Oh, it's the girl Fettes was talking about.- The same.
0:45:56 > 0:46:00Look here, Gray. I fitted them together, like this,
0:46:03 > 0:46:09so that it was right, and yet she won't walk.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12You can't build life putting blocks together.
0:46:12 > 0:46:15I'm an anatomist. I know how things work.
0:46:15 > 0:46:19You're a fool, and no doctor. You only know the dead.
0:46:19 > 0:46:24- I am. I teach medicine. - Like Knox and I taught you?
0:46:24 > 0:46:27In cellars and graveyards?
0:46:27 > 0:46:31- Did Knox say what makes the blood flow?- The heart pumps it.
0:46:31 > 0:46:35And why are things remembered and forgot?
0:46:35 > 0:46:41- The nerve centre, the brain.- What makes a thought start?- The brain!
0:46:41 > 0:46:43You don't know and you never will.
0:46:43 > 0:46:47Not from Knox nor me would you learn that.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50Look. Look at yourself.
0:46:50 > 0:46:55Could you be a healing man, with the things those eyes have seen?
0:46:55 > 0:47:00You've a lot of knowledge, but no understanding.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04- You'll not get that from me. - I AM a doctor, a good one.
0:47:04 > 0:47:09- I could make her walk, but she won't.- Have another glass.
0:47:09 > 0:47:16I'll take you home. Now you know you're Knox's man and my friend.
0:47:16 > 0:47:22- Forever.- I'm my own man. I'll have no more to do with you. What do you hold over me?
0:47:26 > 0:47:30I stood in the witness box and took what should have been coming to YOU.
0:47:30 > 0:47:34I ran through the streets with the mob yelling for my blood
0:47:34 > 0:47:37because you were afraid. You still are.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41No, I'm not. Shout it from the housetops.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44Dr Knox is a gentleman in London.
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Aye. There's something in what you say.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53Yes, and if you've any regard for your neck,
0:47:53 > 0:47:57stay away from my house, my school and from me!
0:47:57 > 0:48:02Well, I've no wish for a rope cravat.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06I never liked the smell o' hemp.
0:48:06 > 0:48:12So I'll bid you good night, Dr MacFarlane.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34THE DOOR SLAMS
0:48:34 > 0:48:37Ah, Dr MacFarlane's man.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39A surprise visit. Come in.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41Come in.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52You're welcome to my little nest.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54Joseph, is it not?
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Yes, that's right.
0:48:59 > 0:49:03- You have something to say to me? - Yes.
0:49:03 > 0:49:07Something very private?
0:49:07 > 0:49:10That's very interesting. Take a chair, Joseph.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23CAT MEOWS
0:49:28 > 0:49:32- Can anyone hear what we say? - Only Brother.
0:49:32 > 0:49:36I know you kill people to sell bodies.
0:49:38 > 0:49:41You say you came here for your own account?
0:49:41 > 0:49:44No-one knows you are here?
0:49:44 > 0:49:48Give me money, or I tell the police you murder the subjects.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56Well, Joseph, you shall have money.
0:49:56 > 0:49:58Why should you not?
0:50:00 > 0:50:05I don't suppose Dr MacFarlane is over-lavish with his pay?
0:50:05 > 0:50:08- No.- Here, have a glass of this.
0:50:11 > 0:50:15You want money? Then you shall have it.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17Let me see...
0:50:18 > 0:50:21Five, five...
0:50:22 > 0:50:24And in gold, six.
0:50:29 > 0:50:32Shall we say...sixteen pounds, Joseph?
0:50:32 > 0:50:35Yes.
0:50:37 > 0:50:43I made you give me money, but you smile. Aren't you angry?
0:50:43 > 0:50:47No, Joseph! Here, have some more brandy.
0:50:47 > 0:50:53I'll wager it's better than the doctor's, eh? Drink up, man!
0:50:53 > 0:50:56I have an idea, a splendid idea.
0:50:56 > 0:51:02So good an idea, we must drink on it.
0:51:02 > 0:51:07I admire you. It took courage to come here. I need such a man.
0:51:07 > 0:51:11But drink, Joseph, drink!
0:51:11 > 0:51:16You and I should work together.
0:51:16 > 0:51:20Sell bodies to the doctors together? We dig them up?
0:51:20 > 0:51:26We'll do no digging. The kirkyards are guarded.
0:51:26 > 0:51:31- We'll Burke them.- Burke them?
0:51:31 > 0:51:35- You're lately come to Scotland?- Yes.
0:51:35 > 0:51:40But you may have heard the peddlers of verse try their names down the street.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43# The rough young dogs the hellish pair
0:51:43 > 0:51:46# The villain Burke, the meagre Hare. #
0:51:46 > 0:51:48Never heard of it, what did they do?
0:51:48 > 0:51:5218 people they killed and sold the bodies to Dr Knox -
0:51:52 > 0:51:56£10 for a large, £8 for a small. That's good business!
0:51:56 > 0:51:58Where did they get the people?
0:51:58 > 0:51:59That was Hare's end.
0:51:59 > 0:52:03Oh, you should have seen him. When he saw some old dame
0:52:03 > 0:52:06deep in drink how he cousined her.
0:52:06 > 0:52:12"Good day to you, Madam. Would you like a little glass of something before you take your rest?
0:52:12 > 0:52:15"Come with me to my house and you shall be my guest.
0:52:15 > 0:52:20"You shall have ports to drink if you like." Oh, how he cousined them.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22He can't do that.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25When he get them there, then what?
0:52:25 > 0:52:30# Nor did they handle axe or knife to take the victim's life away
0:52:30 > 0:52:32# No sooner done than in the chest
0:52:32 > 0:52:35# They crammed their late-visit welcome guest. #
0:52:35 > 0:52:40I don't understand the song. Tell me plain how they did it?
0:52:40 > 0:52:47I'll show you how... I'll show you how they Burked them.
0:52:47 > 0:52:50No...
0:52:50 > 0:52:55Put your hand down. How can I show you, man?
0:52:55 > 0:52:58This is how they did it, Joseph.
0:54:42 > 0:54:47HE HUMS "Highland Laddie"
0:54:56 > 0:54:59HE RIPS UP MATERIAL
0:55:03 > 0:55:06SPLASH
0:55:26 > 0:55:31You've no need to be anxious, Meg. MacFarlane will be back in time.
0:55:31 > 0:55:36- I can keep you company. - I call that no good fortune.
0:55:36 > 0:55:42There was a time, lass, when I used to bring the doctor to your door,
0:55:42 > 0:55:46that you weren't so cold to your old friend Gray.
0:55:46 > 0:55:49Why are you at him all the time?
0:55:49 > 0:55:53He's my friend. I like to see my friends.
0:55:53 > 0:55:55I like to visit them.
0:55:55 > 0:55:59A DOOR OPENS Well, he's come home.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02You've no need to stay.
0:56:07 > 0:56:10Gray, what are you doing here?
0:56:10 > 0:56:14- Having a glass with my old crony. - Crony indeed!
0:56:14 > 0:56:20- Get out, Gray.- I brought you a present. In very good condition.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23- I ordered nothing from you. - This is a gift.
0:56:23 > 0:56:27- I take no gifts from you. - You'll take this one.
0:56:27 > 0:56:34- I told you to get out. - Toddy, that's not friendly. I want to discuss business.
0:56:34 > 0:56:38You are not to come here again for any reason,
0:56:38 > 0:56:41- and you're getting out now. - I wouldn't do it, Toddy.
0:56:46 > 0:56:52It might become known when Dr MacFarlane finds his anatomy school without subjects,
0:56:52 > 0:56:58he provides them himself from the midst of his own household.
0:56:58 > 0:57:01What are you talking about?
0:57:01 > 0:57:03Take a look downstairs, Toddy.
0:57:06 > 0:57:11Take a look downstairs.
0:57:13 > 0:57:17- Where's Fettes?- I'll get him.
0:57:31 > 0:57:35- Fettes, were you down here when Gray came?- No.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38Bring that candle over here.
0:57:55 > 0:57:58A member of his household.
0:57:58 > 0:58:02The more things are wrong, the more we must act as if things were right.
0:58:02 > 0:58:06- Do as you did with the singer.- No.
0:58:06 > 0:58:10- What do you mean? - I'll have no more to do with it.
0:58:10 > 0:58:12You can't begin and then stop.
0:58:12 > 0:58:19The entry of the girl's body is in your writing. I'll attend to Gray.
0:58:19 > 0:58:24- You're not going! - He must leave me alone.- No! No!
0:58:30 > 0:58:36- Mistress Cameron, this is no place for you.- You must leave.
0:58:36 > 0:58:41- I can't. You heard MacFarlane. - Save yourself. Look at MacFarlane.
0:58:41 > 0:58:47- He's a great man.- Is it a great man whom Gray can order to his bidding,
0:58:47 > 0:58:51and who, for shame, dare not acknowledge his wife,
0:58:51 > 0:58:56so that I must play maidservant for the world's sake and for his success?
0:58:56 > 0:59:01He could have been a great man, a good man, and a fine doctor
0:59:01 > 0:59:06but there was always the shame of the old life to hold him back,
0:59:06 > 0:59:11and Gray, Gray to hound him to his death.
0:59:11 > 0:59:17- You're overexcited, Mistress Cameron.- I'm cold as ice.
0:59:17 > 0:59:22- But Gray's only a resurrection man. - If he were only that.
0:59:22 > 0:59:30He's evil. You will come to know him as MacFarlane does. MacFarlane was to Knox as you are to him.
0:59:30 > 0:59:34That's how he met Gray and roistered with him.
0:59:34 > 0:59:40Aye, and Gray even brought him to my door, and my love.
0:59:40 > 0:59:42There's all that between them and more.
0:59:42 > 0:59:44Burke and Hare and Knox.
0:59:44 > 0:59:47- But that's long since. - Gray can't threaten me with that.
0:59:47 > 0:59:51Gray has not need to threaten you. Do you remember the trail?
0:59:51 > 0:59:55I heard my parents speak of it. It was a famous case.
0:59:55 > 0:59:58Do you remember the porter who testified against Burke?
0:59:58 > 1:00:02- Aye.- They didn't tell you how that porter cried out in the witness box
1:00:02 > 1:00:05when the King's Counsellor pressed him hard.
1:00:05 > 1:00:09How he cried out that he was shielding a gentleman of consequence.
1:00:09 > 1:00:12That porter was Gray.
1:00:12 > 1:00:15And the gentleman of consequence, who could swallow the shame of it,
1:00:15 > 1:00:19- who took my last paltry savings to hire Gray...- MacFarlane.
1:00:19 > 1:00:26Listen to me. I'm one part in love with MacFarlane, and one part fey.
1:00:26 > 1:00:33- You're a Lowlander, and don't know what Highlanders call the second sight.- I've heard of it.
1:00:33 > 1:00:38It's a gift to my people, and I see MacFarlane and Gray.
1:00:38 > 1:00:42The pit yawns for them.
1:00:42 > 1:00:45I would have you away from them and safe from the torment.
1:00:52 > 1:00:55CAT MEOWS
1:01:21 > 1:01:24- This is unexpected, Toddy. - I wanted to see you.
1:01:24 > 1:01:29You weren't here, so I waited. What do you want of me, Gray?
1:01:29 > 1:01:34Want of you? I want nothing of you, Toddy.
1:01:36 > 1:01:40I must be rid of you. You've become an evil cancer, rotting my mind.
1:01:41 > 1:01:47- You've made a disease of me, eh? - The only cure is to cut you out.
1:01:47 > 1:01:51I'll not leave till I'm sure that I'm rid of you.
1:01:51 > 1:01:56- If there's no other way... - You're not threatening a friend? - We've never been friends.
1:01:58 > 1:02:04- Here, have a drink of something good.- I've drunk enough.
1:02:04 > 1:02:08Another little drop will never do you any harm.
1:02:08 > 1:02:14You're getting old and it's a hard life, driving a cab in Edinburgh.
1:02:14 > 1:02:20- I have other means of sustenance. - The resurrection business may end.
1:02:20 > 1:02:23What I was going to say is this...
1:02:23 > 1:02:27Wouldn't you be more comfortable at Leith?
1:02:27 > 1:02:30Would you bribe me to let you be?
1:02:30 > 1:02:32I'd make you rich.
1:02:37 > 1:02:41That wouldn't be as much fun as to have you come and beg.
1:02:41 > 1:02:47- Beg? Beg of you, you graveyard rat? - Aye, that is my pleasure.
1:02:47 > 1:02:49I beg of you...
1:02:49 > 1:02:54- I would lose the fun of having you come back and beg again.- But why?
1:02:54 > 1:03:00It would hurt me to see you no more. You're a pleasure to me.
1:03:00 > 1:03:05- A pleasure to torment me?- No, to know I can force you to my will.
1:03:05 > 1:03:10I am a small man, a humble man. And, being poor,
1:03:10 > 1:03:13I have had to do much that I did not want to do.
1:03:13 > 1:03:17So long as the great Dr MacFarlane comes to my whistle,
1:03:17 > 1:03:23that long am I a man, and if I have not that, I have nothing.
1:03:23 > 1:03:27Then I am only a cab man and a grave robber.
1:03:27 > 1:03:31You'll never get rid of me, Toddy.
1:03:58 > 1:04:03Let be, Toddy. Let be. I've no wish to hurt you.
1:04:14 > 1:04:19No, Toddy, you'll never get rid of me.
1:04:19 > 1:04:22Don't force me to kill you, Toddy.
1:04:22 > 1:04:25My pride has need of you.
1:04:38 > 1:04:41That's better, Toddy.
1:04:41 > 1:04:44That's more reasonable.
1:05:20 > 1:05:23HORSE APPROACHES
1:05:47 > 1:05:49Where's Fettes?
1:05:49 > 1:05:52He's gone.
1:05:52 > 1:05:57I sent him away. I'll not see another boy made miserable like you.
1:05:59 > 1:06:02You've been with Gray?
1:06:02 > 1:06:04Aye.
1:06:04 > 1:06:06You'd better look at the face.
1:06:08 > 1:06:10Look at it, Meg.
1:06:16 > 1:06:20I'm rid of him forever. He'll not come again, whining and bullying.
1:06:20 > 1:06:25Now he'll serve a good purpose, and tomorrow,
1:06:25 > 1:06:31when he's been dissected and demonstrated, there's an end to him.
1:06:31 > 1:06:37The next day, I'll take his horse and cab to sell at Penicuik fair.
1:06:37 > 1:06:40Then, not a trace left...
1:06:40 > 1:06:42rid of him forever.
1:06:42 > 1:06:46No, Toddy,
1:06:46 > 1:06:51you are not rid of him.
1:06:51 > 1:06:54CHILDREN LAUGH
1:06:57 > 1:07:01- Good morning. - Good morning, Mr Fettes.
1:07:01 > 1:07:05- I thought this was a school day. - I left last night.
1:07:05 > 1:07:08Left Dr MacFarlane?!
1:07:08 > 1:07:13Play by yourself, darling. I'd like to speak to Mr Fettes.
1:07:17 > 1:07:22This is serious. What's happened? It isn't because of Georgina?
1:07:22 > 1:07:26No. I feel I have learnt nothing.
1:07:26 > 1:07:30He taught the mathematics, but not the poetry, of medicine.
1:07:33 > 1:07:36HORSE APPROACHES
1:07:42 > 1:07:44Mummy!
1:07:44 > 1:07:49I feel he had me on a road that led to knowledge, but not healing.
1:07:49 > 1:07:55- If he could heal, Georgina would be walking.- I think it was the pain.
1:08:02 > 1:08:07Mummy, I'm sure it's the white horse.
1:08:07 > 1:08:12She's afraid that if she stands, the pain will come again.
1:08:25 > 1:08:30Mummy! I can't see over the wall.
1:08:34 > 1:08:37Georgina...you're standing.
1:08:41 > 1:08:48- You'll not need that. - I wanted to see the horse. - I have to tell Dr MacFarlane.
1:08:48 > 1:08:50KNOCK AT DOOR >
1:08:54 > 1:08:58The child has walked. I must tell Dr MacFarlane.
1:08:58 > 1:09:01- He's not at home. - Where can I find him?
1:09:01 > 1:09:05You don't want to find him. I'll tell him.
1:09:05 > 1:09:08I must tell him. Where is he?
1:09:08 > 1:09:13There's no standing between a fool and his folly.
1:09:13 > 1:09:18- He's at the Fisherman's Tryst, the inn at Penicuik.- I know the inn.
1:09:18 > 1:09:23- Use MacFarlane's horse and gig. - I'll be there in an hour.
1:09:23 > 1:09:27He couldn't get the better of old Angus, the horse dealer.
1:09:27 > 1:09:30A sound horse, a closed carriage,
1:09:30 > 1:09:33and I got his price down to £4/10/-.
1:09:33 > 1:09:37and worth every bit of ten pounds.
1:09:37 > 1:09:43Surely a man who had won so great a victory would buy the loser a drink.
1:09:50 > 1:09:55- The man who bought the horse bought you a brandy.- That's civil of him.
1:09:55 > 1:09:58# To the lords of convention, 'twas Claver who spoke
1:09:58 > 1:10:02# Ere the king's crown go down, there are crowns to be broke
1:10:02 > 1:10:04# So each cavalier who loves honour and me,
1:10:04 > 1:10:07# Let him follow the bonnets of Bonnie Dundee. #
1:10:07 > 1:10:12- Doctor, the Marsh girl stood and walked.- What's that?
1:10:12 > 1:10:16She couldn't walk far, but she took a step or two.
1:10:16 > 1:10:21- I knew it. I knew it. The moment I was rid of him.- Who?- Gray.
1:10:21 > 1:10:24I'm rid of him.
1:10:24 > 1:10:26What do you mean about Gray?
1:10:26 > 1:10:30I've been able to induce him to leave Edinburgh.
1:10:30 > 1:10:33He'll bother me no more.
1:10:33 > 1:10:36Drink.
1:10:36 > 1:10:43Here's to a good riddance. I'll be a new man, and a better teacher.
1:10:43 > 1:10:47Doctors from my school will perform miracles.

1:10:55 > 1:10:58# Come fill up my cup, come fill up my can
1:10:58 > 1:11:01# Come saddle my horses and call up my men
1:11:01 > 1:11:04# Fling all your gates open and let us gae free
1:11:04 > 1:11:08# For it's up with the bonnets of Bonnie Dundee. #
1:11:08 > 1:11:11Shh! Still your song. The Praedies are here.
1:11:11 > 1:11:14They've buried their sister in Glencorse kirkyard.
1:11:18 > 1:11:22Glencorse. That's a lonely cemetery.
1:11:22 > 1:11:25- Not a soul for miles. - They'll be thinking of that.
1:11:25 > 1:11:30- It's us I'm thinking about. - You've no thought of going there?
1:11:30 > 1:11:34Gray's not the only man who can handle a shovel. I've had practice.
1:11:36 > 1:11:41- You couldn't do that, Doctor. - I have a new course of lectures.
1:11:41 > 1:11:44We need subjects to demonstrate.
1:11:44 > 1:11:49- Come on.- No.- I must have subjects. It's the only way I can teach.
1:11:49 > 1:11:55The law shall not stop me, nor make me deal with creatures like Gray.
1:11:55 > 1:11:58We'll do our own dirty work. Come.
1:12:25 > 1:12:29Let me take over, Fettes.
1:12:40 > 1:12:42So we can't do without Gray? Hah!
1:12:42 > 1:12:45So I'll never be rid of him, eh?
1:12:47 > 1:12:50HORSE WHINNIES
1:12:54 > 1:12:57THUNDERCLAP
1:12:59 > 1:13:03- Shall we put it on the back? - No. There's no room.
1:13:23 > 1:13:28Fettes...keep it off me, will you?
1:13:49 > 1:13:51Fettes!
1:13:54 > 1:13:57- GRAY'S VOICE ECHOES:- 'Toddy.'
1:13:57 > 1:14:01'Toddy.'
1:14:01 > 1:14:07'Toddy... Toddy.'
1:14:15 > 1:14:17'Toddy. Toddy.'
1:14:17 > 1:14:22'Toddy. Toddy.'
1:14:22 > 1:14:27'Toddy...!'
1:14:30 > 1:14:35- Whoa.- What's the matter?
1:14:35 > 1:14:40- Did you hear something, Fettes? - Nothing but the wind.
1:14:43 > 1:14:46Come on.
1:14:51 > 1:14:55'Never... Never get rid of me. Never get rid of me. Never get rid of me.
1:14:55 > 1:14:57'Never get rid of me. Never get rid of me.
1:14:57 > 1:15:10'Never get rid of me. Never get rid of me. Never get rid of me. Never get rid of me. Never get rid of me.
1:15:10 > 1:15:17- 'Never get rid of me. Never get rid of me. Never! Never! Never!' - Whoa. Whoa.
1:15:20 > 1:15:21Fettes, let's have that light.
1:15:27 > 1:15:31It's changed. Fettes, I swear, it's changed.
1:15:31 > 1:15:35- Changed to what? - Hurry with the lamp.
1:15:40 > 1:15:44This is not a woman. Hold the lamp up. I must see her face.
1:15:53 > 1:15:56- Gray.- Dr MacFarlane!
1:15:56 > 1:16:00- Gray! - HORSE NEIGHS
