00:00:00Hold fast to the law of the last cold tome, Where the earth of the truth lies thick upon

00:00:16the page, And the loam of faith in the ink long fled

00:00:24from the drone of the nib of blossom, Till the last of the first depart,

00:00:35And the least of the past is dust, And the dust, the dust is lost.

00:00:50Hold fast, human dust.

00:01:20Hold fast to the law of the last cold tome, And the least of the past is dust,

00:01:41Yah!

00:01:42Yah!

00:01:51Come closer.

00:01:52What's the matter with you, boy?

00:01:54I said closer.

00:01:55I want to talk to you.

00:01:56You never have before.

00:01:57Well, I do now.

00:01:58You're seventeen, Titus.

00:02:00How are you, my friend?

00:02:02It's about time you grew out of this sulk.

00:02:04Are you talking to me or the bird?

00:02:05You.

00:02:07That's yours.

00:02:09It's yours by inheritance and right.

00:02:12You can't give it away.

00:02:14It's yours forever, whether you want it or not.

00:02:16Thank you, mother.

00:02:17What more do you want, boy?

00:02:19There isn't anything else I can give you, and if there was, I wouldn't.

00:02:22I've understood that much.

00:02:26Go up, boy!

00:02:28You are no ordinary son, and you have no ordinary mother.

00:02:33Look.

00:02:34Turn!

00:02:35Look!

00:02:37Look at it, and learn to love it for what it is.

00:02:42You can't love anyone or anything else, because there isn't anything else.

00:02:47There is only your duty to those who love you.

00:02:52Think, Titus, and grow.

00:02:55Soon, perhaps, we will all need you.

00:02:57Good.

00:03:04Master Jock!

00:03:27Master Jock!

00:03:48Mr Flay.

00:03:50Come back.

00:03:52Nearly time, Lordship.

00:03:55Time? For what?

00:03:56Won't wait much longer.

00:03:58Who won't?

00:03:59Been coming in.

00:04:02Watching.

00:04:04Watching Stairpike, you mean?

00:04:05All of you, Lordship.

00:04:08Him most.

00:04:12Rebellion soon.

00:04:15East wing, you need me.

00:04:19Make chalk mark under lamp.

00:04:23Old hall.

00:04:28Mr Flay, wait.

00:04:33I hate Gormenghast.

00:04:34Oh, no, Lordship, no, no, no.

00:04:37Can't be.

00:04:40Can't be.

00:04:50But I do, Mr Flay.

00:04:53I do.

00:05:05Confound you, peeled switch!

00:05:09How do you know when I'm going to appear every day?

00:05:11Perhaps we're in harmony, sir.

00:05:15I'm more in harmony with the dribble of piss.

00:05:18And I've told you before, don't sir me in that obsequious way.

00:05:22Why are you so damned clean?

00:05:24Perhaps it's this habit of washing I've gotten into, sir.

00:05:26Yeah, well, down yourself down. Get the shine off.

00:05:29Quite right, sir. I'm too visible.

00:05:31Not when you're wanted. Well, I see through you.

00:05:35Even when I'm invisible.

00:05:39Are the North Cloisters ready?

00:05:41You're too dirty. You're going to have to die.

00:05:44What's that, scum?

00:05:45They were dirty, and I asked why.

00:05:47But they're ready for you now, sir.

00:05:49I might be more difficult to get rid of than you think, kitchen boy.

00:05:53How long have you plotted, eh?

00:05:56You will never rise further than the scum on your sink.

00:06:00Wash or no wash, you stretch my patience.

00:06:03Grub, and even now, I'll send you back to the filth you came from.

00:06:07You understand?

00:06:09My son will replace me, not you.

00:06:13You have a son?

00:06:14You didn't know about him, did you?

00:06:17Nobody does. Not yet.

00:06:20I'm warning you.

00:06:22You'll be very, very careful, Mr Stairbike.

00:06:26You do exactly what I say.

00:06:28No more, no less, or I'll skewer you, sewer slug.

00:06:47This has gone on long enough.

00:06:49I'll have the keys off me before I can turn around.

00:06:52Yes, you have, Mr Secretary Barkendale.

00:06:55You've gone on far too long.

00:06:57You've gone on far too long.

00:07:14Dear son.

00:07:18I'll put a stop to this before the scum gets into the inner sanctum.

00:07:24It's time.

00:07:32Go away!

00:07:34Did I ask for a son of a bitch to visit me now?

00:07:38It's your hot milk.

00:07:39I said go away!

00:07:43Milk.

00:07:45I've got better things to do than drink milk.

00:07:48This will take the shine off you, Mr Snakebite.

00:07:53Go away.

00:08:05Good evening, Mr Secretary.

00:08:08Ah!

00:08:22It's Mr Snakebite.

00:08:26Dear son.

00:08:28Son.

00:08:30That's me, isn't it?

00:08:32Scum like you!

00:08:34Son of mine!

00:08:36Never!

00:08:38Dear son.

00:08:39I believe it is time we were reacquainted.

00:08:42I have it in mind.

00:08:46What had you in mind, Mr Secretary?

00:08:48Did you have it in mind that he should succeed you?

00:08:50It's interesting that you realised success was necessary.

00:08:53Isn't it?

00:08:55But it won't be any son of yours.

00:08:57Guess who it'll be?

00:08:59Piss slump!

00:09:01Fine boy!

00:09:03Traitor!

00:09:04It'll take more than an insect like you to shake Garmin to heart!

00:09:12You haven't got very long, you know.

00:09:13Long enough.

00:09:14Help!

00:09:15Help me!

00:09:17Excuse me, Mr Secretary.

00:09:19Help!

00:09:24Help me!

00:09:26No one there.

00:09:29Just in case you were thinking of throwing something else.

00:09:31Snakebite!

00:09:32Poisonous slag!

00:09:54Poor boy.

00:09:55He'll never know now, will he?

00:09:57Goodbye, Mr Secretary.

00:09:59Thanks for all your help.

00:10:11You're warm today, isn't he?

00:10:13You're coming with me, you poisonous slag!

00:10:27Goodbye, Mr Secretary.

00:10:29Goodbye, Mr Secretary.

00:10:56The boy.

00:10:58How bad is he?

00:11:00As a toastleadership.

00:11:02Face and hands could hardly speak.

00:11:05I really don't see how it could have been self-inflicted.

00:11:08What?

00:11:09Why should it have been?

00:11:10What are you saying?

00:11:12I?

00:11:13Oh, nothing, madam.

00:11:15I really have no idea why I said it.

00:11:18No, Steerpike is the hero.

00:11:20He tried to save the Secretary who had caught himself alight with the candle flame.

00:11:25He told me so himself before he passed out.

00:11:30We will need a new Secretary, Doctor.

00:11:33Who else but the hero, ma'am?

00:11:36He's the only one who knows how to do it.

00:11:38When will he be able to start?

00:11:40In a matter of weeks, ladyship.

00:11:43Able, but I wouldn't say pretty.

00:11:50Stupid.

00:11:52Stupid.

00:11:55Stupid.

00:12:01And the twins make five.

00:12:06Oh, do they indeed, Mr Secretary?

00:12:09And what prey or who was quite so stupid?

00:12:26Are you considering what I just said to you, Titus,

00:12:29or are you looking at a piece of paper handed you by Doggett?

00:12:33It's nothing, sir.

00:12:34Well, show me this nothing.

00:12:37I'd rather not, sir.

00:12:38Well, I'd rather you did, sir.

00:12:41No.

00:12:42Lordship.

00:12:43Sorry, sir.

00:12:46I'm ashamed of you, Titus Grone.

00:12:49Stand up. You're going to have to be punished.

00:12:56Oh, shut up.

00:12:58I beg your pardon, Lordship.

00:13:01It was nothing to do with you.

00:13:03Titus, you will apologise to the Secretary.

00:13:09I will not.

00:13:11Titus, I said you will apologise.

00:13:15And I said I will not.

00:13:17I said you will apologise.

00:13:20Titus, I said you will apologise.

00:13:24And I said I will not.

00:13:28Headmaster, the next time I inspect your class,

00:13:32I expect to find more discipline.

00:13:34And respect.

00:13:36Yes, sir.

00:13:38Of course, sir.

00:13:42Titus.

00:13:44Sorry, sir.

00:13:46I know you don't like me, Lordship,

00:13:48but if someone in my position can say such a thing,

00:13:51I would prefer our relationship to be at least on a friendly basis.

00:13:55I can understand that may not be possible.

00:13:58But with all due respect, I must tell you,

00:14:01if you insult me, you insult Gormenghast.

00:14:05Is there anything I can do to make you happier?

00:14:08You can stop making me attend all these stupid ceremonies.

00:14:11With respect again, Lordship,

00:14:13these stupid ceremonies, as you put it, are the life of the castle.

00:14:17They are how our time passes.

00:14:19They are how we know where we come from.

00:14:22They are what we are.

00:14:24And do you control them?

00:14:25And yet again, with the greatest respect, Lordship,

00:14:28I organise the various traditional rituals.

00:14:31I do not control them.

00:14:33I am merely a servant.

00:14:35You could be making them up.

00:14:36You are welcome to look for yourself.

00:14:38Rites, rituals, ceremonies.

00:14:40I don't want them. I'm not a performing monkey.

00:14:43We all have our duty.

00:14:45But I don't want duty.

00:14:47What about me?

00:14:52Well, I hate him.

00:14:54Why? Because he does his job?

00:14:56No, because of what he is.

00:14:58And why are you defending him?

00:15:00I am not.

00:15:01Why should I defend him? I never see him.

00:15:04I'm not surprised.

00:15:05I don't know how he can see anyone with a face like that.

00:15:08He can't help it.

00:15:09You're so arrogant. He saved our lives once.

00:15:12In the library? That was years ago.

00:15:14But he tried to save Barkentine.

00:15:16We need him, Titus. The whole castle needs him.

00:15:19What do you care about the castle?

00:15:21I hate it.

00:15:22Every rock and stone, and so do you.

00:15:24I do not.

00:15:25Yes, you do.

00:15:26You're miserable all the time.

00:15:28Who do you talk to?

00:15:29No one.

00:15:30All you can do is dream, and what's the use of that?

00:15:33Nothing.

00:15:35Unless you are seeing him.

00:15:38Are you?

00:15:41Are you seeing Steerpike behind my back?

00:15:44You heard what I said.

00:15:46I know I did.

00:15:48Now tell me the truth.

00:15:53I have to have someone to talk to, don't I?

00:15:56You just said so.

00:15:57You speak to Mr Flay, don't you?

00:16:00That's secret, Fuchsia.

00:16:02No one knows he's here.

00:16:04You haven't told Steerpike, have you?

00:16:06No.

00:16:08I told you.

00:16:09I hardly see him.

00:16:11He's disgusting.

00:16:13Is he?

00:16:14Oh, is he really?

00:16:15Is that what you think, Titus?

00:16:17Who are you to say that about him?

00:16:19What have you done that makes you so superior?

00:16:23What are you trying to say to me, Fuchsia?

00:16:25Perhaps I believe in equality.

00:16:28No, you don't.

00:16:29Then perhaps I think that...

00:16:31that sometimes he is better than all of us.

00:16:34You might well be right.

00:16:36He's obviously better than me.

00:16:38Titus!

00:16:39Titus!

00:16:40I didn't mean it!

00:17:01This place heard no step for 200 years.

00:17:09Been here.

00:17:12Been here.

00:17:14And you are mostly...

00:17:17mostly him.

00:17:20Steerpike.

00:17:24This is everywhere he's been.

00:17:26Since Barkentine died.

00:17:28He killed him, Lordship.

00:17:30He came down chimney from old room.

00:17:33Never came out of room.

00:17:34I was outside there, waiting.

00:17:36He could have gone down to save him.

00:17:38Respect, Lordship.

00:17:39Steerpike killed secretary.

00:17:42Had mirrors in chimney to watch him.

00:17:44We have no proof, Mr Flay.

00:17:46And we can't just go accusing without...

00:17:47Don't need proof, Lordship.

00:17:49Know it.

00:17:50Followed him everywhere.

00:17:51Something up there, north.

00:17:54Can't find out where he goes.

00:17:56That's not proof either.

00:17:58Sees Lady Fuchsia, Lordship.

00:18:00I know.

00:18:01I'll watch her.

00:18:02I don't know what to do, Mr Flay.

00:18:05Catch him.

00:18:07Kill him.

00:18:09You'll kill him?

00:18:13Enemy of Gormenghast, Lordship.

00:18:30My Lady, I'm here.

00:18:33Mr Steerpike.

00:18:35I prefer you don't see my face.

00:18:44I've prepared a room for you.

00:18:47Would Your Ladyship come to me there?

00:18:50Would she talk with me?

00:18:53A night of the clouds will wait forever.

00:18:58I'll come.

00:19:02Come.

00:19:24I heard something.

00:19:26I heard...

00:19:33You fool!

00:19:34Why did you use a candle?

00:19:36Anybody could have seen you.

00:19:39How dare you?

00:19:43Please forgive me.

00:19:45Someone has been following me.

00:19:48I'm certain we're being watched.

00:19:52It would be my death, Your Ladyship, if we were caught.

00:19:58Please forgive me.

00:20:01Our time together is so valuable.

00:20:03I could not risk losing it.

00:20:08I do apologize for my stupid behavior.

00:20:18Please forgive me.

00:20:27This is what I've prepared for you.

00:20:29The chair, the tapestry. It's the best I could find.

00:20:33It all belongs to my family, Mr Steerpike.

00:20:37I decorated it for you.

00:20:42There's something else.

00:20:44Wait.

00:20:46Close your eyes.

00:20:48I don't want to close my eyes.

00:20:50Then wait. Please.

00:21:00This is for you.

00:21:02And with respect, it did not belong to your family.

00:21:10It's named Satan.

00:21:30I am very sorry, my lady.

00:21:32I did not mean to speak to you like that.

00:21:36I only mean to protect you.

00:21:38You would be punished if they knew you were meeting me.

00:21:41That's not your concern.

00:21:44I've written you a poem. Would you like to see it?

00:21:50No.

00:21:52I don't want to see any more furniture or monkeys.

00:21:56Certainly no poems.

00:21:59My lady.

00:22:02I want to see you.

00:22:14Why don't you take that mask off?

00:22:16Because you will be even more disgusted by me.

00:22:18Why don't you let me make my own mind up about that?

00:22:21Madam.

00:22:22Let me see.

00:22:25Please.

00:22:26Take it off.

00:22:29No.

00:22:59No.

00:23:20Eddie Fuchsia.

00:23:30I must go.

00:23:32I'm sorry.

00:23:43Unlock the door.

00:23:45See me again.

00:23:46Unlock the door, please.

00:23:51Don't leave me like this.

00:23:54I beg you.

00:23:57You are my only hope.

00:24:01Let me out.

00:24:03Please say you'll see me again.

00:24:05I'll come.

00:24:06See me again.

00:24:07I'll come again.

00:24:12I've said it. I will.

00:24:14Now unlock the door.

00:24:26I beg you.

00:24:29I know I'm a grotesque.

00:24:32I know I come from nowhere.

00:24:36But I love you.

00:24:40Believe me.

00:24:56I love you.

00:25:17I didn't do very well there, did I?

00:25:21She won't come back.

00:25:23But I'll have the lovely lady, my little friend.

00:25:25I promise you that.

00:25:28And the whole family, too.

00:25:31I'm going to make them wish they were never born.

00:25:34Or at least never born where they were.

00:25:39Maybe they should try the kitchens next time.

00:25:53No!

00:26:08Let's go down, my little friend.

00:26:11He will amuse me.

00:26:14What else is there?

00:26:20We'll go when it's light.

00:26:22And then I can show you what I've done.

00:26:26Lordship, lordship, it's time.

00:26:29Get Doctor.

00:26:30The Doctor, Mr. Flay?

00:26:32Bring weapons.

00:26:33Meet me at Grand Courtyard.

00:26:38I knew it!

00:26:39What weapons do you think Mr. Flay meant?

00:26:42I don't know.

00:26:43I possess no firearms or swords.

00:26:44I love pokers.

00:26:45What about the fireside, young friend?

00:26:46Be quick!

00:26:47Yes, I knew it.

00:26:49And the twins make five.

00:26:51Oh, I knew it.

00:26:52The twins, two.

00:26:53Barkentine, three.

00:26:56Nanny Slag.

00:26:58The dispensary.

00:27:00Poison.

00:27:02You fool!

00:27:03Nanny Slag, four and five.

00:27:06His lordship.

00:27:08Mad after the burning.

00:27:09Does he make five?

00:27:10Why would he count him unless...

00:27:13Yes.

00:27:14Steer back, young lordship.

00:27:17At last.

00:27:21Well, this should be very interesting.

00:27:26The Grand Courtyard.

00:27:27Are you sure?

00:27:28Of course I'm sure.

00:27:29Look, Doctor, here's a mark.

00:27:31It's Mr. Flay.

00:27:32It must be.

00:27:33Must be.

00:27:52What's he written?

00:27:54Catch me.

00:27:55Silas.

00:27:56Stealth and speed, dear boy.

00:27:58Stealth and speed.

00:28:05Be vigilant, dear boy, for any hieratic instruction,

00:28:07however small.

00:28:08Ha!

00:28:09There!

00:28:10Shh!

00:28:22Sit.

00:28:25I like this place.

00:28:27Look around.

00:28:31Why do you think I like it, hmm?

00:28:36Shall I tell you?

00:28:40This is where I was born.

00:28:44Up there, in that little room.

00:28:48When I was six.

00:28:51They sent me down to swelter.

00:29:09Just you and me now, Satan.

00:29:16Hmm?

00:29:21Hmm?

00:29:51Hmm?

00:30:08Down, Satan!

00:30:22Oh!

00:30:46Stop that noise, you idiot!

00:30:49This is what I wanted to show you.

00:30:52Look.

00:30:55There it is.

00:30:57The aristocracy.

00:31:00This is what I come to when they challenge me.

00:31:03Your Ladyship Clarice.

00:31:04Your Ladyship Cora.

00:31:06I brought a monkey to see you.

00:31:08He's so impressed, he's screaming!

00:31:11Screaming!

00:31:17Why don't we show him what we can do, hmm?

00:31:20Care for a dance?

00:31:38Bye, Miss Matt.

00:31:41As mad can be.

00:31:44Watch me get your whole family.

00:31:49I'm as mad as mad can be.

00:31:54And you too, and me, make three.

00:32:05Come, Satan.

00:32:12Perhaps.

00:32:14Perhaps.

00:32:37Alas, poor Clarice.

00:32:38I knew you well.

00:32:40What is it, Cora?

00:32:43Good night, ladies.

00:32:48Your servant leaves you to the mice.

00:32:57Now!

00:33:00Grub!

00:33:09Put that knife down, Master Steerpike.

00:33:13We want you to come with us.

00:33:16A visit from His Lordship?

00:33:19That is a privilege.

00:33:24Hiding, is he?

00:33:26Look to me, slug.

00:33:30Look to the servant.

00:33:31Look to me!

00:33:34Certainly.

00:33:39Oh, Mr. Flay.

00:33:41Mr. Flay.

00:33:46Don't be frightened, my lord.

00:33:48It's only a boy from the kitchens.

00:33:52See you in hell, Flay.

00:33:54Mr. Flay.

00:34:04I was a coward, Mr. Flay.

00:34:09You...

00:34:12...won't...

00:34:15...be...

00:34:18...close...

00:34:22...to me.

00:34:31Why did nobody suspect?

00:34:33Why did nobody tell me?

00:34:35It was him.

00:34:36He killed all of them.

00:34:38He burnt the library.

00:34:40I have no proof, ladyship, but it seems so.

00:34:43We saw him dance.

00:34:45Dance?

00:34:47It was a lunatic dance.

00:34:49He certainly killed Mr. Flay.

00:34:51Flay.

00:34:53A lunatic dance, here, in Gormenghast?

00:34:57Find him.

00:34:59All work is suspended.

00:35:01Scour the castle.

00:35:03Every wing, every room, every inch.

00:35:06Put a guard on all food stores.

00:35:09I've no doubt the animal must eat.

00:35:11Draw up your orders of search, captain.

00:35:13I will have him.

00:35:15Ladyship.

00:35:17Move yourselves.

00:35:20You, poet.

00:35:22If you can write, I assume you can read.

00:35:24Read the tomes.

00:35:26You are the new secretary.

00:35:28Secretary? Mom, I'm...

00:35:30That's what I said. Are you deaf?

00:35:32Tomorrow is the day of the carvings.

00:35:34You will organise it.

00:35:36And now you are secretary.

00:35:38No sewer boy will hold Gormenghast to ransom.

00:35:42And bury Flay.

00:35:44Graveyard of the select retainers.

00:35:47He has earned his place.

00:35:49Get on with it.

00:35:51Yes, ladyship.

00:35:54And his lordship, what will he do?

00:35:57Will he defend his right, or will he allow the vermin?

00:36:06I don't know.

00:36:32Stand by.

00:36:36Stand by.

00:37:06From the sunrise to the night of the moon,

00:37:10in eternal day and eternal night,

00:37:14what has been, has always been, and will always be,

00:37:20Gormenghast!

00:37:22Gormenghast!

00:37:24Carvers, create beauty for the delegation of...

00:37:36He's there! He's there!

00:37:38There! On the roof!

00:37:40Steer point!

00:37:42You men, take the fourth passage through to my door.

00:37:44The rest of you, all up along the back wall.

00:37:46Now get out of my way, all of you.

00:37:48Move it, Sam, come on!

00:37:50It's her! It's her!

00:37:52It's the wild girl!

00:37:59Go on! Go on! Get back to the roof!

00:38:01Stay down, ladship!

00:38:03Come on! Get to the roof!

00:38:06After him!

00:38:10Find your footing, men!

00:38:19Throw me that rope!

00:38:31Where are you?

00:38:33Where are you?

00:38:36Where are you?

00:39:07You lost him?

00:39:09And the Earl?

00:39:11Did no one see him leave?

00:39:13Where's Titus? Where's he gone?

00:39:15Damn him! Doesn't he know we're under threat?

00:39:17Tell me, girl! You know, don't you?

00:39:19I love him. He's my brother.

00:39:21Where is he?

00:39:23He's all I've got left.

00:39:25Seal the castle, Captain. No one leaves.

00:39:27Fall in!

00:39:36It's you!

00:40:07No! Don't be frightened!

00:40:09I'm your friend.

00:40:11I'm Lord Titus. I've run away.

00:40:13I was looking for you.

00:40:17Please, I'm a friend.

00:40:22See?

00:40:24I don't want to hurt you.

00:40:33I think I'm like you.

00:40:34I think you're my sister.

00:40:36My foster sister.

00:40:38Please, I've come to find you.

00:40:40I am Titus.

00:40:42I've known you all my life.

00:40:44Please.

00:40:57I've wanted to see you.

00:41:05Titus!

00:41:07No!

00:41:34No!

00:41:52I just keep moving.

00:42:05Families stay together.

00:42:10Right up you go, lad.

00:42:14Put him in his room, under guard.

00:42:18She's dead.

00:42:20I thought you'd like to know.

00:42:22She was struck by lightning.

00:42:26The wild girl is dead.

00:42:28Can't you hear me?

00:42:30You are the Earl of Gormenghast. What's she to you?

00:42:32I hate Gormenghast!

00:42:34Let him be!

00:42:35He is what he is.

00:42:37The carvers are building boats. They built one for you.

00:42:39Use it and learn how to survive.

00:42:41Or perhaps you don't want to do that either.

00:42:43Captain, your report.

00:42:45Mother.

00:42:46Captain!

00:42:50The ground floor passageways on the north and south are impossible.

00:42:54The carvers are quartered in the fourth hall.

00:42:56The east wing is eight foot underwater and it's still raining.

00:42:59Good.

00:43:01Ladyship.

00:43:02The higher the flood, the less we'll need to search.

00:43:04I don't care if we have to wait until the waters reach the last chimney.

00:43:07I'll have you, Mr. Steerpike.

00:43:35Help me.

00:43:37I'm starving.

00:44:05Don't touch me.

00:44:07Listen.

00:44:08Don't touch me.

00:44:09Listen to me, please.

00:44:12I did it.

00:44:14I admit it.

00:44:15I killed Flay.

00:44:17You know that, don't you?

00:44:19I killed your aunts.

00:44:21I burnt the library. It was me.

00:44:24I burnt your father's books.

00:44:26I drove him mad. He killed himself because of me.

00:44:31But I did it all for you.

00:44:32I hate you.

00:44:35I did it all so I could be in a place where you could see me.

00:44:38I don't want to see you.

00:44:39You love me.

00:44:41I'm ugly and I'm disgusting.

00:44:42You love me.

00:44:43You love me because I'm the only one who can see you.

00:44:48You're so lonely, my lady.

00:44:52I'm the only one who knows who you are and what you are.

00:44:55Get away from me.

00:44:56I know what you dream about.

00:44:58You do not.

00:44:59I do. You know I do.

00:45:00I have my family.

00:45:02Your mother.

00:45:04Is that a mother?

00:45:06She hardly looks at you.

00:45:09And do you have a real brother?

00:45:11Who is he?

00:45:13He's so wrapped up in himself he can't tell.

00:45:16He's even too weak to take what's given him.

00:45:22Does he love you?

00:45:24Does he even see who you are?

00:45:32I'm sorry about your father.

00:45:35I didn't think that would happen to him.

00:45:38I thought you were all so strong.

00:45:41I thought you were much stronger than me.

00:45:44I wanted to rescue you so you'd like me.

00:45:48Believe me, my lady, I'm yours.

00:45:51You'll never know a love like mine.

00:45:56I will die for you.

00:45:58Look at me.

00:45:59I'm dying for you now.

00:46:03But I'll win.

00:46:06They can't stop me.

00:46:08Because now I know.

00:46:10I'm stronger than all of them.

00:46:13For you I am.

00:46:15With you I am.

00:46:17You're so ugly.

00:46:22It doesn't matter anymore, does it?

00:46:30I will make you my queen.

00:46:33I will give you everything you need.

00:46:36Yes, yes.

00:46:39Everything.

00:46:42Fuchsia.

00:46:50How dare you call me that?

00:46:54I am Lady Fuchsia.

00:46:57How dare you call me by a familiar?

00:47:00Kitchen boy.

00:47:01No, Lady Fuchsia.

00:47:02God!

00:47:03God is here!

00:47:05The kitchen rat is here!

00:47:08No, Lady Fuchsia!

00:47:10Do not touch me!

00:47:11You have no right to touch me!

00:47:15God!

00:47:16God!

00:47:17He's here!

00:47:18The rat is here!

00:47:23I could have given you everything.

00:47:25Remember that.

00:47:26I could have made you everything you ever dreamt of.

00:47:48Very quickly.

00:47:56I love him.

00:48:27No way out.

00:48:37No way out.

00:48:47Just me.

00:48:52Be careful, good sirs.

00:48:53This is human cargo.

00:48:57Titus!

00:48:58We could possibly do with a little of his lordship's vigor.

00:49:01Not me, doctor.

00:49:02I am of no use to anyone.

00:49:57Lordship!

00:49:58Please forgive my lowly theft.

00:50:27The rain's nice, nanny.

00:50:31I can pretend I'm not crying.

00:50:37No!

00:50:38Lady Fuchsia!

00:50:40No more, thank you.

00:50:47Ladyship!

00:50:49Lady Fuchsia!

00:50:50Lady Fuchsia!

00:50:51Lady Fuchsia!

00:50:52Lady Fuchsia!

00:50:53Lady Fuchsia!

00:50:54Lady Fuchsia!

00:50:55Lady Fuchsia!

00:51:01Lady Fuchsia!

00:51:10I came over the ruse.

00:51:12I've seen him.

00:51:13He's in a room in the south wing.

00:51:15He's surrounded by water.

00:51:16Captain!

00:51:18Would you also like to know that my sister's dead?

00:51:22Titus.

00:51:23They've just pulled her out of the water.

00:51:25The maid said she'd jumped.

00:51:27The maid's outside, but you wouldn't see her.

00:51:30She's still waiting, mother.

00:51:32She wants to tell you your daughter is dead.

00:51:36Can you show us where Steer Pike is, lordship?

00:51:40Yes, I can.

00:51:42I'm going to kill him.

00:51:47Run!

00:51:56I already know.

00:51:58I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

00:52:56Titus!

00:53:17Captain.

00:53:18This one.

00:53:20No!

00:53:24Down there.

00:53:28Put your feet into it!

00:53:35Stand aside!

00:53:49Come on.

00:54:20You see anything?

00:54:22There's no one here, sir.

00:54:24He was there.

00:54:32Lord!

00:54:33He's gone!

00:54:34It's him! It's Steer Pike!

00:54:35My lord!

00:54:36Look out!

00:54:40He's there!

00:54:41He's there!

00:54:42He's there!

00:54:43He's there!

00:54:44He's there!

00:54:45He's there!

00:54:46He's there!

00:54:47He's there!

00:54:48He's there!

00:54:49Go in!

00:54:50Kill him!

00:55:09From one who should have been your son!

00:55:15Stop him!

00:55:16He's in the water!

00:55:18He's in the water!

00:55:19He's in the water!

00:55:47He's there!

00:55:48In the ivy, you idiots!

00:55:57Goodbye, Mother.

00:55:59Titus?

00:56:01Titus!

00:56:18You were lucky!

00:56:49Lordship.

00:57:06Welcome, Titus,

00:57:08Earl of Gormenghast.

00:57:19He was right.

00:57:21He should have been your son, Mother.

00:57:24At least he would have appreciated it.

00:57:33And here lie the remains of a ladyship,

00:57:36Fuchsia Anastasia Alice Gwendolyna Marshall-Brown,

00:57:41guardian of the south castles,

00:57:43daughter to Sepagraven Gertrude,

00:57:46sister to Titus.

00:58:14I'm leaving, Mother.

00:58:17There's nowhere else.

00:58:20You'll tread a circle, Titus Grone.

00:58:26I must see for myself.

00:58:29You are the Earl.

00:58:31I didn't ask to be.

00:58:32And you may do as you desire.

00:58:36Mother...

00:58:37You'll return, won't you, my wise one?

00:58:43Everything returns.

00:58:55Goodbye, Mother!

00:59:14Goodbye, Captain.

00:59:16Lordship.
