00:00:30Let's go.

00:01:00Ah, there's no playing with you tonight.

00:01:27It's a puss!

00:01:30It's a puss!

00:02:00It's a puss!

00:02:01It's a puss!

00:02:02It's a puss!

00:02:04What are you doing here, Mr. Connor?

00:02:06I'm just checking the property.

00:02:09It might not look much to you, but Mr. Keene, you see, he's still not looking to see it squatted.

00:02:14The times are hard.

00:02:15Good up.

00:02:16All right, well, I'll keep an eye open for you, Mr. Connor.

00:02:20Good night.

00:02:21Good night.

00:02:22Good night.

00:02:38Oh, no, it's the rent man!

00:02:53Ma, it's the rent man!

00:02:55Tell the bugger I'm not in!

00:02:56She's not in.

00:02:58You tell her the bugger wants the rent.

00:03:00And something off the back wants the bailiffs on Monday.

00:03:04Ma, the bugger wants the rent!

00:03:08Or on Monday, you're out.

00:03:10Ma!

00:03:38You're all right.

00:03:44I'll come next week.

00:03:45See how you're placed.

00:03:46You mean you let her off?

00:04:01She just lost her husband.

00:04:03I'm carrying him out feet first.

00:04:05What else could I do?

00:04:06I thought I was supposed to be the soft one.

00:04:08Rory Connor, the hard man of Jarrett.

00:04:12Connor?

00:04:13Armstrong?

00:04:14Mr. Keane.

00:04:15Mr. Keane.

00:04:16Good afternoon, sir.

00:04:18I don't pay you to loiter the nose.

00:04:20Get themselves back to the office.

00:04:22Have you done collecting?

00:04:23Aye, we'll have Mr. Keane, sir.

00:04:26Well, get it back and into the safe, then.

00:04:30Get a move on.

00:04:31All that charm.

00:04:39You'd never dream he was a stinking old skin, Flint, would you?

00:04:41Good night.

00:05:02Ginny?

00:05:08Ginny?

00:05:10Ginny?

00:05:32Ginny?

00:05:36Ginny?

00:05:38Ginny?

00:05:40Ginny?

00:05:42If you wanted to eat some of the cinema at your house?

00:05:44Come on Ginny.

00:05:46Come on Ginny.

00:05:50Come on Ginny.

00:05:56Who are you?

00:05:58Who are you?

00:06:00That's Jimmy. He must have seen you in the lane.

00:06:04Laurie!

00:06:06Away.

00:06:15Food's on the table.

00:06:17No.

00:06:19I told him it was.

00:06:24Come on, Jimmy. Come on, Jimmy.

00:06:28You're back around tonight.

00:06:29What a day of a mace.

00:06:31Look, he's gonna lose tonight.

00:06:32Yep, happy looking.

00:06:35I'll see you're two.

00:06:47And I'll raise you...

00:06:49five.

00:06:59Don't put him off, Ma. He's finding it hard enough as it is.

00:07:03Aren't you, Da?

00:07:07You just mind your manners, eh?

00:07:09No, I do want to tell you. You know how delicate he is.

00:07:14I'll see you in a minute, Ma.

00:07:16Hey, this lad of yours will soon be through his apprentice time, won't he?

00:07:20Aye, that's right.

00:07:21Six weeks, Mr. Waggett.

00:07:22Oh, go on, I'll... I'll call you.

00:07:31Oh, look at that. He's won again, lad.

00:07:35Hey, baby.

00:07:35I've heard tell you about the best apprentice Baker I've ever had in his yard.

00:07:41Aye. Baker will be lucky to keep him.

00:07:44Oh, go on, man.

00:07:45I'll tell you what it is.

00:07:46I'll be out on me half, Mr. Baker.

00:07:47I know what I'm doing tonight.

00:07:49Cards?

00:07:50But there's no money changing hands here.

00:07:52Not a penny.

00:07:53It's not gambling.

00:07:55Devil's plaything cards, Al.

00:07:57Don't you stop, Ma.

00:07:59I suppose you think these are the devil's monkey nuts, do you?

00:08:03He should go to America, our Rory, man.

00:08:06He'd make a fortune.

00:08:07He'd make a fortune, our Rory, wouldn't he?

00:08:09Yeah, it would suit me, that.

00:08:10Gambling, bud.

00:08:11A mate.

00:08:12Just mate.

00:08:13Gambling.

00:08:15Fortune's made in America.

00:08:17Nobody's ever satisfied, are they?

00:08:19Take what God sends you and be thankful.

00:08:22Aye.

00:08:23You're thankful for all he's sent, are you?

00:08:27He might send you a clip around the ear in a minute.

00:08:36Cole?

00:08:46He won't go to America, Lizzie.

00:08:50Aye, I know that, lass.

00:08:51I know that.

00:08:53It's just my temper gets the better of me.

00:08:55I understand.

00:08:58Don't worry.

00:09:00I'm not a bad woman, Janey.

00:09:02I never was.

00:09:04Shh.

00:09:05You know, none of us could do without you, don't you?

00:09:09Everybody can be done without lass.

00:09:13Have a walk around the cemetery next time you're out.

00:09:15What are you doing here?

00:09:38I came to see you.

00:09:42I just had to see you.

00:09:46You're daft.

00:09:48Aye.

00:09:50Maybe I am.

00:09:54Oh, here.

00:09:55I've got you something.

00:09:58It's in here.

00:10:04Margaret!

00:10:06Must go.

00:10:08Saturday, eh?

00:10:08I love you, Maggie.

00:10:21Oh.

00:10:22Well done, Jimmy.

00:10:24Oh, that's me finished.

00:10:26Yeah, me, I know.

00:10:26I think we should be getting off, Ma.

00:10:28I'm tired out.

00:10:30Come in.

00:10:31That'll be John, George.

00:10:32Well, come in.

00:10:37I don't stand there dripping.

00:10:40Why, you look bonnie, Janey.

00:10:42Second-hand Janey.

00:10:44I hope the mistress doesn't have another bairn.

00:10:46She'll get too big for me.

00:10:49What's this?

00:10:50It's time we were going down the road.

00:10:51Gran, Mrs. Buckham said nine o'clock.

00:10:53But John George has only just come.

00:10:55Has only dropped by to go down with us.

00:10:57Aye, I had an errand up this way for Uncle Harry.

00:11:00He's not too good just now.

00:11:02Was he ever.

00:11:05You hold your tongue, I'm going to mind your own business.

00:11:07For once.

00:11:09My business, lad, is to take care of those I'm concerned for.

00:11:12A lesson you could do with learning.

00:11:15You coming?

00:11:17Aye.

00:11:19I like you minding me business.

00:11:22It's a comforter.

00:11:23It is, really.

00:11:25Bye, then.

00:11:26Bye.

00:11:27Bye.

00:11:28Hello.

00:11:29I'm taking a notice.

00:11:31You know he doesn't mean it.

00:11:33Janey!

00:11:35I've got to go.

00:11:44Oh, yeah.

00:11:45I'm going to get soaked.

00:11:47The archers!

00:11:48How are we?

00:11:49Oh!

00:11:53Oh, boy!

00:11:55Oh!

00:11:56Oh!

00:11:57Oh!

00:11:59Oh, listen.

00:12:01John George is right here now.

00:12:02It's daft you walking all the way to West Oak.

00:12:05You can see me with the buttons.

00:12:08I won't see you for a week.

00:12:14John George, there's another arch just over there.

00:12:17I'm just as nice as this.

00:12:20Won't be a minute.

00:12:21I'll see you for a week.

00:12:22Oh, bye.

00:12:25Where are you?

00:12:29Oh, yeah.

00:12:37I'm cold.

00:12:39Get on, look.

00:12:42Blast your cold.

00:12:45Aye.

00:12:46Blast me cold.

00:12:48I love you, Maggie.

00:13:08Janey.

00:13:10Aye.

00:13:10You wanted to talk to me seriously, Mr. Connor.

00:13:15It's time.

00:13:22Don't you think it's time?

00:13:26Well?

00:13:28If you want a straight answer, Mr. Connor,

00:13:31I will marry you.

00:13:36But...

00:13:37But...

00:13:41I'm not startling in with me dad and granny in their loft like.

00:13:52What are you taking me for, Janey?

00:13:56I've got plans.

00:13:58Gambling.

00:13:59Aye.

00:14:00Don't say it like that, Janey.

00:14:02I'm doing too badly out of it.

00:14:04Oh, you be careful.

00:14:06You worry that you win all the time.

00:14:09Or most of the time.

00:14:11Nobody likes to be made a fool of.

00:14:14You be careful.

00:14:23John George!

00:14:24I persuaded him not to come.

00:14:31He took some doing right.

00:14:33Just as well you did.

00:14:34How's that?

00:14:35He's got a game to go to tonight.

00:14:37Have you?

00:14:39You're a fine friend, you are.

00:14:40Is that true?

00:14:42Till next time.

00:14:46Rory!

00:14:50It stopped raining.

00:14:50We're going to settle some of it, you know.

00:14:58Rory and me.

00:15:01We'll be telling them up at the kitchen next week.

00:15:05Oh, hi.

00:15:07Well, I'm pleased for you, Janey.

00:15:10Very pleased.

00:15:11That's just right, that is.

00:15:12I'm just coming.

00:15:32It's not coming.

00:15:39It's not coming.

00:15:40You upseeing your Maggie the night, weren't you?

00:15:46Aye. How do you know that?

00:15:48It's written all over you.

00:15:50Do I go on about that too much?

00:15:52I do gab on a bit, I know that.

00:15:54It's all right, John George.

00:15:57Here, I tell you something.

00:15:58Wouldn't mind it if my Rory went on about me like you do about your lass.

00:16:02I sometimes wonder what comes first with Rory.

00:16:04Me or his cords.

00:16:10You've just made it.

00:16:22Three minutes to go yet.

00:16:24Some people take advantage of good nature.

00:16:26I hope you never will, Jessie.

00:16:29In Lady Betty Brancaster's household, we added me training.

00:16:32The nursemaid might have slept in the attic,

00:16:34but below stairs, she was considered bottom cellar steps.

00:16:39Why, in Lady Betty's household,

00:16:41the still-room-maid sat above the nursemaid.

00:16:44In Lady Betty Brancaster's...

00:16:46Lady Betty. Lady Betty.

00:16:49Lady Betty's backside.

00:16:51Oh!

00:16:53What?

00:16:55What?

00:16:56What?

00:17:18Oh...

00:17:19Oh, God.

00:17:22Again, again, that's me done for the night, aye, me too, I'm sorry Mac, I am too, well

00:17:41we're smart tonight little Joe, dinner with royalty is it?

00:17:45Satisfactory game, gentlemen? Aye, same old result, mind? Usual arrangements, gentlemen, all gendered lock-up, excuse me.

00:18:06Oh Joe!

00:18:08Thanks for the game.

00:18:15Well it's generous Mr. Connor, much appreciated.

00:18:18Yes it is generous, I'm to be married.

00:18:21Alright, I should be saving.

00:18:23Well, congratulations Mr. Connor.

00:18:28Now I need a better game little Joe.

00:18:31I'm not my class here.

00:18:33The only sort of game that's much better than the ones you know is a big step.

00:18:38A very big step.

00:18:39Aye, but you could do it.

00:18:41I'd make it worth your while.

00:18:43I know you would.

00:18:45You've always been generous Mr. Connor.

00:18:48But it's more a question of the persons you'd be playing with.

00:18:54Take time.

00:18:55Time Mr. Connor.

00:18:57Good evening.

00:19:03What's he up to you?

00:19:06Oh, what do you think, man?

00:19:08With all that togger he on?

00:19:09He's about something a night.

00:19:11Ah, you're right.

00:19:14I wouldn't.

00:19:16I wouldn't!

00:19:19Believe me, I wouldn't.

00:19:24Come on, darling.

00:19:25Come on, darling.

00:19:26Come here.

00:19:27Come on, buddy lad.

00:19:28Come here.

00:19:29Hi, hi.

00:19:30Come on, darling.

00:19:31Come on, buddy lad.

00:19:34Come here.

00:19:36Come on, buddy lad.

00:19:49Come here.

00:19:50Hello, pet.

00:19:53Nice.

00:19:56Good night.

00:20:13Evening.

00:20:14I've come to collect.

00:20:16Is that right?

00:20:17Yeah.

00:20:19Well, you can go about and tell them they're sick of peeing on such a big cut.

00:20:23It's all expensive, isn't it?

00:20:25He's not gonna be happy.

00:20:27Sure?

00:20:28So, I was just thinking.

00:20:30You wouldn't like a visit from some of his friends, though, would you?

00:20:38Where is it?

00:20:43Here.

00:20:47You won't get cut with me, you little runt.

00:20:49I don't need the likes of you to come round here all bloody high, matey.

00:20:53Just bugger off.

00:20:56Go on.

00:20:58I'll take your friend with you.

00:20:59Yeah.

00:21:19I've always been very pleased with you, and I've had no complaints whatsoever.

00:21:22Janey, I am very surprised.

00:21:25I really am what the cook has been telling me.

00:21:28You must not use such expressions.

00:21:30Think of the consequences if they were to become a habit.

00:21:33Imagine if you used them in front of the children.

00:21:35Yes, miss.

00:21:37Very well, Janey.

00:21:38I'm sorry.

00:21:39Actually.

00:21:41Besides...

00:21:43I'm sorry.

00:21:45If you can't see them...

00:21:47You need to...

00:21:49How are you?

00:21:50No!

00:21:51You need to get away.

00:21:52No!

00:21:53There's nothing...

00:21:55What?

00:21:56You need to get away.

00:21:57No!

00:21:58No!

00:21:59No!

00:22:01No!

00:22:03No!

00:22:04No!

00:22:05No!

00:22:06Very good, Mr. Hornby.

00:22:20Thank you, sir.

00:22:21Your first time.

00:22:23Yes, sir.

00:22:24Everyone content?

00:22:27Yes, sir.

00:22:29I suppose.

00:22:32It's just that house in the cut, a little bit reluctant,

00:22:35but they're paid up in the end.

00:22:38All right.

00:22:43I'm sure they didn't mean any harm by it, sir.

00:22:47If you ask me, sir, I think they would...

00:22:50What?

00:22:53Sorry, sir.

00:22:54I didn't mean to interfere at all, sir.

00:23:00As someone who runs the occasional game yourself, Mr. Hornby,

00:23:03you must realise that we need to be paid for our services.

00:23:07I do, sir. I do.

00:23:12Always remember, Mr. Hornby,

00:23:14greed is a terrible thing.

00:23:18Sir.

00:23:19What are you doing here, you man?

00:23:36Don't even turn your head as I go by.

00:23:38You don't know what you're into here, lad.

00:23:40It's no good, Jessie.

00:23:57I'll have to go and say sorry to her.

00:23:59She's all right, isn't Mrs. Bookham?

00:24:03You wouldn't take that up to the Burns for us, would you?

00:24:06All right.

00:24:06I'm right in thinking the wagon's looking a little red around the eyes.

00:24:17Well, yes, there was a little bit of a to-do in the kitchen last night with the cook.

00:24:20Oh, dear. Nothing serious, I hope.

00:24:22Well, she said to the dread Tyler,

00:24:24you can...

00:24:25you can...

00:24:27Oh, go on.

00:24:29You can kiss Lady Betty's backside.

00:24:31Backside.

00:24:34I did not.

00:24:38Good for Wackett.

00:24:40Well done, Wackett Seah.

00:24:43I can't stand Tyler.

00:24:45You must get rid of her.

00:24:47Oh, I can't do that, David.

00:24:48She's a good cook.

00:24:49And Jamie mustn't be allowed to say things like that.

00:24:51But, oh, I don't know how I managed to keep my face straight.

00:24:55He went up to a house in Westone.

00:25:15The Avenue?

00:25:17The Avenue?

00:25:17That's what they call it.

00:25:20The Avenue.

00:25:22I used to know some folk on The Avenue.

00:25:27You did?

00:25:28In my glory days, when I was a man of means.

00:25:32What number?

00:25:33Years till who?

00:25:34Nineteen.

00:25:35Aye.

00:25:36Oh, I know who lives there.

00:25:38Someone on the fiddle?

00:25:40Name of Nickel.

00:25:41Frank Nickel.

00:25:43A ship owner.

00:25:44A pillar of the community.

00:25:46No, I'd wager he's on the fiddle.

00:25:52Do you not know you're living in two towns, Fred?

00:25:55There's one that's run by the mayor and corporation.

00:25:58But there's another one that ordinary folk never see.

00:26:02But it's there.

00:26:03And?

00:26:06And?

00:26:09And we'll have one for the road, eh?

00:26:16Tell him.

00:26:23I can't.

00:26:24He'd love us.

00:26:25Let him.

00:26:26You're all earning, Jimmy, so it's possible.

00:26:30It's an opportunity.

00:26:32Just tell him.

00:26:35Tell him what?

00:26:36I was down the riverside the day, like.

00:26:43Where?

00:26:46Did you know old Kilpatrick's died?

00:26:50Has he?

00:26:52I've never heard of him.

00:26:53And?

00:27:00And...

00:27:01And...

00:27:02And...

00:27:03And I said I'd go and lock up the chickens.

00:27:10Well, I'm glad he got that off his chest.

00:27:21Boatyard?

00:27:21Oh, you want to buy a boatyard?

00:27:25No, I'm not saying we're going to afford it, like.

00:27:27It's just the...

00:27:28Forget it, Jimmy.

00:27:30Forget it.

00:27:33Don't look at me like that, Jimmy.

00:27:39I'm not saying there's not games being played in this town that would give it to us, because there is.

00:27:44And I can win anywhere I play, Jimmy.

00:27:48But I don't play in them games.

00:27:51And there's no aim to them for the likes of us, so.

00:27:55So you forget it.

00:27:57Aye, all right, Rory.

00:28:00I just thought...

00:28:01Don't think, Jimmy.

00:28:06Don't.

00:28:08Don't even dream.

00:28:09As I told you, Mr. Connor, it's a big step up to the sort of game you'll fancy me.

00:28:20Oh, I know that.

00:28:22Hey, I'm not looking for the sort of game to play at number 19 in the avenue.

00:28:25I thought I'd told you.

00:28:29The night you followed us, I thought you'd heard.

00:28:35Just telling you...

00:28:36I know what I'd be into.

00:28:39You don't.

00:28:40You don't know.

00:28:41You don't have any idea.

00:28:43I know who lives at number 19.

00:28:47And I know how to keep me mouth shut.

00:28:48Do you?

00:28:52I just want a game or two.

00:28:53Not for penals.

00:28:55I like you, Mr. Connor.

00:28:58You've still got your self-respect.

00:29:00Don't ask us.

00:29:01It's only a game I'm asking for.

00:29:05I need it, man.

00:29:07Nothing.

00:29:08Nothing is only a game.

00:29:22Thought you'd be finished?

00:29:24You're usually well finished by this on a Saturday.

00:29:27Aye, but I'm going up Newcastle, ladies, so I thought I'd hang around.

00:29:30Aye.

00:29:31Seen your Maggie again.

00:29:32Aye.

00:29:33On the train.

00:29:36Come on, let's get the tables put away.

00:29:39Don't know if I could face Septimus Keane today.

00:29:42Well, what's that thing?

00:29:43He's a bit hexing.

00:29:44His father's not well-edged.

00:29:48It's not locked.

00:29:50He's here.

00:29:52Oh, my God, he's here.

00:29:54What is it?

00:29:55Lender's ten, Bob.

00:29:57What?

00:29:58Rory!

00:30:00What are you loitering out here for?

00:30:09Mr. Keane, it's a relief.

00:30:12We weren't expecting you, sir.

00:30:14Thought you were off to Hexham.

00:30:16When we saw the Dalton, we thought it might have been a villain.

00:30:20Armstrong, you're very nervous.

00:30:21I know damn well it's Salt Bank Row and Pilby Street.

00:30:35It is always Salt Bank Row and Pilby Street on a Saturday.

00:30:40This is not enough.

00:30:47What is it with this, Mrs. Arnold?

00:30:51The man's died.

00:30:52She's finding it difficult to make ends meet.

00:30:57That is of no concern to you.

00:31:00She's got a lad down the pit.

00:31:01Now, I'm telling you this.

00:31:02This is not enough money coming in.

00:31:08Unless you've doubled this by the next collection,

00:31:11I'm putting the bailiffs on the lot of them.

00:31:18Do you understand?

00:31:22I asked you a question, lad.

00:31:24I, Mr. Keane, I understand.

00:31:34Mr. Armstrong, if you please.

00:31:54You'll be late for the ferry, Father.

00:32:16I've brought the trap.

00:32:20Very well.

00:32:22Connor!

00:32:24You and Armstrong, get this place locked up.

00:32:28Well, get a move on, lad.

00:32:29Get a move on.

00:32:43You're a fool, man.

00:32:45You're a bloody fool.

00:32:48Aye, I know.

00:32:50I know.

00:32:52I know I am.

00:32:54You've been buying things for your lass again, haven't you?

00:32:57I've got to put the ten bar back, haven't I?

00:33:01How?

00:33:02If you haven't got it!

00:33:05I usually pop me good suit in me watch.

00:33:06Old Keane would have had you along the line before you could whistle, man.

00:33:17He would.

00:33:19Your life could have changed in there just now.

00:33:23Something's got to change.

00:33:24Rory.

00:33:25Aye, what is it?

00:33:26I'm still here.

00:33:27I'm still here.

00:33:28Will?

00:33:29Nothing.

00:33:30You're not in the mood.

00:33:31Rory?

00:33:32John George?

00:33:33Who I found?

00:33:34Got let off early.

00:33:34This one?

00:33:35He's got something to show us.

00:33:35Oh, aye.

00:33:36It wouldn't be a certain godforsaken property with the river frontage, would it?

00:33:40Oh, I'd like to see it.

00:33:41Just for fun.

00:33:42Oh, come on, man.

00:33:43It won't take long.

00:33:44I'd best be off.

00:33:45I'd best be off.

00:34:05I'll see you.

00:34:07I'll see you, Gina.

00:34:14Come on, then.

00:34:15Let's get it over with.

00:34:29This is it.

00:34:31Look at it.

00:34:33Just look at it.

00:34:35How much is he going for it, Jimmy?

00:34:45Well, it's the goodwill that the sun's selling, really.

00:34:48Places for rent.

00:34:50Goodwill?

00:34:51Doubt this place has had a customer and living memory.

00:34:54How much is the goodwill, Jimmy?

00:34:55£35.

00:34:59Aye, but there's lots more to it, man.

00:35:02There's all sorts of rooms in storage and such.

00:35:05Have a look round.

00:35:35Wilhelm 스폰 스폰

00:35:45Agora, go check it out.

00:35:49Come back.

00:35:51You know what I'm thinking?

00:36:15I can guess.

00:36:16We could all live in here twice over.

00:36:19Oh, we could.

00:36:2435.

00:36:27Well, he might let us pay it a bit at a time.

00:36:31And it's only three and six rent once we've paid the 35.

00:36:36We could, couldn't we?

00:36:43Yes.

00:36:49Yes, we could.

00:37:04Praise you for.

00:37:05I heard the other day that some fool's trying to take on to kill Paddock's yard.

00:37:14Aye, that's right.

00:37:15You're looking at him.

00:37:18So you're coming, didn't you?

00:37:21Aye, must be out of me mind.

00:37:24Aye, I think you must.

00:37:28So who's the crippled lad, then?

00:37:29Your brother?

00:37:36Perhaps you'd like to raise the state, would you?

00:37:41Aye, I will.

00:37:45Your four childrens.

00:37:53And three sovereigns.

00:37:54I'll be obliged if you show me a hand, Mr. Pitt.

00:38:24No one bets that much money on a pair.

00:38:39No?

00:38:40You did.

00:38:47I'm telling you, little Joe, I need a better game.

00:38:51I'm wasted here, too.

00:38:52Who is he?

00:39:02He's a rent collector for Septimus Keene.

00:39:06Is he?

00:39:08And he's good.

00:39:11He's the best player I've ever seen.

00:39:16Well, that's not very flattering.

00:39:17He needs the money, sir.

00:39:32There's something about him.

00:39:34I don't know.

00:39:36He needs a bigger game.

00:39:38He's hungry, sir.

00:39:39Hungry for the money.

00:39:40And you're not sure of him, are you?

00:39:46No, sir.

00:39:47He's his own man.

00:39:49Very much so.

00:39:50Well, I can't have some unknown mongrel rent collector wondering about raising his leg as he pleases.

00:40:07He'll have to be on a leash.

00:40:09I think he'll understand, sir.

00:40:13We'll make sure he understands.

00:40:18If he's got his nose into gaming, he'll have to be brought to heel anyway.

00:40:21Mr. Pity, I'm sure, will oblige us with a demonstration of how things work.

00:40:40Keep hold of it.

00:40:40I was told you had some news.

00:40:59Aye.

00:41:00There's a big game tonight.

00:41:02Ocean Road.

00:41:03Grand.

00:41:05Ocean Road, eh?

00:41:06Aye.

00:41:07Here's the address.

00:41:09Time to turn up.

00:41:10Well, you need at least five pounds to join in.

00:41:14I'm all right for that.

00:41:15Just.

00:41:17Thanks, little Joe.

00:41:18I don't want thanks.

00:41:21And my book, it'd be foolish to have out to do with this.

00:41:26Very foolish.

00:41:39What's up with you?

00:41:40You look like you're drowned up in a thunderstorm.

00:41:49Are you telling me she's in the family reps?

00:41:51Don't put it like that, man.

00:41:53How else do you expect me to put it?

00:41:55What are you, some sort of miracle worker?

00:41:58What?

00:41:59Well, how'd you manage it?

00:42:00I thought you only met her on the train.

00:42:03Oh, leave off, man.

00:42:07Listen, I'm glad you're going to wed the lass.

00:42:09I am, truly.

00:42:10Look, I'll manage.

00:42:12I know you'll need every penny you can lay your hands on to get the yard.

00:42:15I know that.

00:42:16Don't be damned.

00:42:17You can have the money.

00:42:19You can have it.

00:42:21Whatever good it'll do you, it's a drop in the ocean.

00:42:23What's going to happen when she tells her family?

00:42:27I don't know.

00:42:30Her father will probably murder her.

00:42:31Come on, we'll be late.

00:42:43Mr. Cain!

00:42:49Here.

00:42:52Being called away, my father has died.

00:42:56Lock up the takings, my daughter will collect on Monday.

00:42:59Well, that's a blessing.

00:43:00I've had the worst morning yet.

00:43:02Expecting them to go through the roof.

00:43:04Well, there you are.

00:43:05I've had one of me best.

00:43:13What are you going to do about this lass of yours, John, George?

00:43:17I'm going to ask her the day.

00:43:19I'm going to ask her to walk out like that.

00:43:21And come to our place.

00:43:27Have to be a register office for us, like.

00:43:30Aye.

00:43:30Thanks for the loan, Rory.

00:43:37I mean, you'll get it back.

00:43:39Maybe not Monday, but you will get it.

00:43:41I'm not worried about that.

00:43:42No, I'm too soft to clag holes with.

00:43:54I wish I could be more like you, Rory.

00:43:59Tell you something, lad.

00:44:00You've got a lighter than me.

00:44:01Back at the cottages, they think the sun shines out of your horrible coattail.

00:44:07It's a bigger game than it is.

00:44:21It could be.

00:44:23It could be.

00:44:24It's a new place.

00:44:26I'll have to see how the land lies.

00:44:30You'll find yourself lying under the land if you're not careful.

00:44:33You put the kibosh on good, you would.

00:44:37You take care of yourself, that's all.

00:44:43I've always had to, haven't I?

00:44:45There speaks the big fella that brought himself up.

00:44:52So could yourself on your own breasts, did you?

00:44:54Press the kibosh on.

00:45:04Pass.

00:45:24Sorry, Mr. Grable.

00:45:29Must have been my lucky night.

00:45:38Auntie.

00:45:54Fine.

00:46:02Too bad.

00:46:03Sorry, Grable.

00:46:24Yes.

00:46:49Call.

00:46:52This is...

00:46:54Flush.

00:47:04Well, gentlemen, I think I've given Mr. Conor the pleasure of being quite enough for one evening.

00:47:12Thank you, Mr. Grable.

00:47:14Play some nice cards, sir.

00:47:16Pleasure.

00:47:24I expect, gentlemen, you'll be interested in winning some back.

00:47:46No, we're not interested in that.

00:47:51We don't win it back.

00:47:54You'll give it back.

00:47:57What?

00:47:58You give it back!

00:48:03What is this? I was told I was coming to a game.

00:48:06We give you the sheep this year.

00:48:08We asked Grable here.

00:48:09You fleeced him.

00:48:12Beat him man to man.

00:48:13You fleeced him.

00:48:15We give you the chance.

00:48:19I always pay a cut to the man running the game.

00:48:22Who's that?

00:48:22Tell me what you expect. I'll say goodnight.

00:48:30What we expect is our money back.

00:48:32And half what you took off Grable.

00:48:36What?

00:48:38Why?

00:48:40What happens when I lose?

00:48:43When you lose.

00:48:45You lose.

00:48:46Them's the conditions.

00:48:49You were told there'd be a price.

00:48:52No, that's not gaming.

00:48:54That's bloody robbery.

00:48:56Tell you straight.

00:48:58I'd rather be playing for monkey nuts around the kitchen table.

00:49:00There.

00:49:07That's all you're getting.

00:49:10The governor will not take kindly to that.

00:49:13The governor can take it.

00:49:15I'll leave it.

00:49:15Good night.

00:49:29You'll not see me again.

00:49:31You'll not see me again.

00:49:33You'll not see me again.

00:49:34Thanks.

00:59:25Well, it's grand to have you back, son.

00:59:29The cooking of the baker that's been going on today, I tell you.

00:59:32And Jamie will be around as soon as she finishes.

00:59:34There you go, now.

00:59:35Mind a step.

00:59:36Aye, Tim.

00:59:37Thanks, I'll be fine.

00:59:44Are you sure?

00:59:45Jimmy will be home directly.

00:59:47Janie's got the evening off.

00:59:49So we'll all be together.

00:59:56You'll be all right, lad.

00:59:58Your face will come round.

01:00:00Might even improve you a bit.

01:00:02Aye.

01:00:03I'm taking a notice of your door.

01:00:05The bed down here is ready for you.

01:00:08Aye, you won't manage them stairs for a while.

01:00:11I'll manage the stairs.

01:00:30Where is he?

01:00:31Upstairs.

01:00:35Oh, that's good to see you home again.

01:00:40How are you feeling?

01:00:42Oh, you know, 100%.

01:00:45Less than lightning.

01:00:46Oh, you'll see me back on your feet again.

01:00:48What are you so bouncy about?

01:00:50I've seen him.

01:00:52Mr Kilpatrick.

01:00:54About the yard, like I said I would.

01:00:56I told him how things stood, and you know what he said?

01:01:00He said we can pay so much up a month till it's cleared.

01:01:04He said that, did he?

01:01:06Oh, well, that's something.

01:01:08Something.

01:01:09It means we can get started.

01:01:11I'm that excited.

01:01:13I never thought.

01:01:14If it wasn't for what happened to you, you'd be walking on here.

01:01:18Still can be, Jimmy.

01:01:19It'll be all right.

01:01:20I'll be as right as rain.

01:01:21Oh, well, I told her the missus it would need a day to clear up.

01:01:24Oh, well, I told her the missus.

01:01:25But do you know what I really wanted a day for?

01:01:26What?

01:01:27It was, you know what?

01:01:28Do you know what?

01:01:29It wasn't for what happened to you?

01:01:30You'd be walking on here.

01:01:32You still can be, Jimmy.

01:01:34It'll be all right.

01:01:38I'll be as right as rain.

01:01:40What?

01:01:41Oh, well, I told her the missus it would need a day to clear up the boat house.

01:01:52But do you know what I really wanted the day for?

01:01:55Well, I thought we could go up to Durham, right, and...

01:02:02I forgot.

01:02:05Listen, I think you've got to be told.

01:02:08We didn't tell you sooner because you were so bad.

01:02:12Told what?

01:02:16What?

01:02:22It's about John George.

01:02:25He's been a silly lad.

01:02:27It's all through that lass.

01:02:29He fiddled some money and he was caught.

01:02:32And he was sent along the line to Durham jail.

01:02:34So I thought we could go up there and...

01:02:38Sorry.

01:02:39You shouldn't have given it to him like that.

01:02:41It's all right.

01:02:42It's just a weakness.

01:02:44He's the same when he's got the nightmares.

01:02:46Oh, I'm sorry.

01:02:47He'll be all right.

01:02:49Come on.

01:02:51Bad sign, that the sweats.

01:02:53Don't like it.

01:02:54Oh, God.

01:02:55Not the sweats.

01:02:56Be quiet.

01:02:57No.

01:03:03I don't see why we're leaving.

01:03:04I don't.

01:03:05I don't.

01:03:06No, I don't.

01:03:07Vinny's not meant it properly, Mum.

01:03:09Will he ever be?

01:03:10That's my question.

01:03:12Will he ever be any use anymore?

01:03:15Hope Janie knows what she's doing.

01:03:17Will he show up?

01:03:18Oh, never mind me, Gran.

01:03:26Are you feeling better now?

01:03:30Anyway, when I do take that day off, we could still go, couldn't we?

01:03:33I can't.

01:03:36It's prisons that give me the creeps.

01:03:38But...

01:03:39Don't go on about it, Janie.

01:10:48If only John George would have been there.

01:10:50God almighty woman, can't you give her a rest?

01:10:58What have you got to bring him up for now?

01:11:02You did that on purpose.

01:11:04I did!

01:11:06Say something, Janie.

01:11:24It's alright.

01:11:26I'm alright.

01:12:26I'll never be

01:12:28you.

01:12:30Bye.

01:12:31Bye.

01:12:34Bye.

01:12:36Bye.

01:12:38Bye.

01:12:39Bye.

01:12:40So, let's go.

01:13:10Oh, Conor. Reckon you're going to knock this place into shape, do you?

01:13:21He's an expert at being knocked into shape. Aren't you, Conor? Yeah?

01:13:28Knock, knock.

01:13:29Knock, knock.

01:13:37Forget him, Rory.

01:13:40Never.

01:13:47Never.

01:13:49Never.

01:13:49My father's death has left me with a great many responsibilities.

01:14:11My father and my grandfather had many interests. Property, manufacturing, retailing businesses.

01:14:20I hadn't realized how burdensome it would all be.

01:14:25How far have you advanced in bookkeeping, Mr. Conor?

01:14:30Advanced? What do you rightly mean, miss?

01:14:33Well, I mean that you do a fine enough job of the rent accounts, but have you been taught how to balance a book?

01:14:42No, miss.

01:14:43Would you be prepared to learn?

01:14:48Yes, miss.

01:14:51Why?

01:14:51I'll come to the point, Mr. Conor.

01:14:58I need a manager.

01:15:00I need help to run these businesses.

01:15:03Would you consider taking the post?

01:15:05Well, I have no doubt that I could fill the post immediately were I to advertise, but then the person would be a stranger to me.

01:15:19I, I confess, I, I don't mix easily.

01:15:29I've found that I, I take time to come to know a person.

01:15:37I've known you sometime, Mr. Conor.

01:15:39I've always felt that you were capable.

01:15:44Capable of far more than my father ever offered you.

01:15:55Yes, sir.

01:15:56It's not far, miss.

01:15:58I live on the waterfront now.

01:16:00Mr. Kilpatrick's all yard.

01:16:03My brother, he's a shipwright.

01:16:05A boatyard?

01:16:06Well, you're a man of business already, Mr. Conor.

01:16:08Hardly, miss.

01:16:11Would that be anywhere near the Pity Brothers yard?

01:16:16I wouldn't know, miss.

01:16:20Until tomorrow, then.

01:16:38Yes.

01:16:39Yes.

01:16:40Yes.
