00:00The END
00:27Whatever my fortunes might have been
00:29I could scarcely have recalled my sister with much tenderness but I suppose there
00:34is a shock of regret which may exist without much tenderness under its
00:39influence I was seized with indignation against the assailant from whom she had
00:43suffered so much I felt that on sufficient proof I could have
00:49revengefully pursued all it to the last extremity
00:59they should all have come back here after the funeral why didn't they mr.
01:12Pumblechook decided it would be wholesomer at the Inn mr. Pumblechook would

02:58clearly as she hadn't said anything we understood for a very long time I ran and
03:08fetched in mr. Gargery from the forge she made signs that she wanted him to sit
03:16down close to her man she wanted me to put her arms around his neck he sat there so
03:30still her arms around his neck and then presently she said Joe again so quiet content

05:19say
05:22and
05:24yes
05:27come on
05:31I must apologise for disturbing you on a Sunday afternoon.
05:40Well, I'd rather had it in mind that you might drop in.
05:43Did you?
05:44You've made acquaintance with the aged pea, of course.
05:46Good afternoon, Mr Wemmick!
05:50I'm hard of hearing.
05:52You'll have to speak up.
05:55Might I present you to Miss Skiffins?
05:57This is Mr Pip, dearest, come to call.
06:00Miss Skiffins?
06:01I am a frequent visitor at the castle, you know.
06:04At the...
06:05Ah, yes, at the castle, indeed.
06:09Mr Wemmick made it, you know, with his own hands, out of his own head.
06:14Shall I make tea, John?
06:16Oh, you will stay to tea, Mr Pitt.
06:26She's such a manager of fowls, you've no idea.
06:29Well, you shall have some expiety and judge for yourself.
06:37Miss Skiffins and I are...
06:40Engaged?
06:43Why, that's splendid, Mr Wemmick.
06:45Mr Jaggers might as well not know of it, mind.
06:47Might think my brain was softening or something of that sort.
06:50Well, Mr Wemmick, I came here this afternoon to inquire whether you had any news yet regarding the business transaction we spoke of.
07:00You preferred me not to mention it in Little Britain.
07:02Oh, indeed not, Mr Pitt.
07:05Altogether a Walworth sentiment, don't you think?
07:07Hmm.
07:08Well, have you any news yet regarding the matter concerning Herbert Pocket?
07:13Good news.
07:14Well?
07:14Well, I found a ship owner called Claddocker, not long established in the business, who's looking for a partner with capital.
07:21How much?
07:22£200 down to start with and then sundry other payments which will fall due on certain dates.
07:28And can it all be done without Herbert being suspicious?
07:31You'll have to sign certain articles, of course.
07:35Oh, tip him a nod now and then, Mr Pitt, and he'll be as happy as a king.
07:39I'll do it. I'll sign the articles.
07:46Miss Skiffins has a brother who's an accountant, an agent.
07:49I'll look him up and get a work for you.
07:51If he agrees to conduct negotiations, I think all you want may be done by degrees.
07:56I'm really very grateful, Mr Wemmick.
07:59I'm sure young Mr Pocket will be too.
08:01Ah, but he must never know that I've had a hand in this.
08:09She's such a good fellow, Mr Pitt.
08:32You'll like her.
08:33My word, John, what about this haystack of butter, don't you think?
08:53Isn't my Clara a charmer, Hamlet?
08:55Are you properly impressed?
08:56Might I have the pleasure, Miss Barney?
08:58Your fiancée is delightful, Herbert. She's a dear friend already.
09:05She's the most loving, innocent, and modest creature I could have.
09:11Bately drum.
09:18How could she know that oath?
09:22Hamlet!
09:23You're hurting me!
09:30Well, Pip.
09:31Would you like a glass of punch?
09:32No.
09:34You must be tired. It's quite late.
09:36Is that all?
09:37Did you drag me so rudely away from my friends to say that?
09:40I'm so sorry I interrupted your conversation.
09:43Perhaps you were recounting tonight's triumphs.
09:45I wasn't aware there'd been any.
09:48That man over there, the man staring at us. Look at him.
09:50Why should I? What is there to look at?
09:52Indeed, yes. That's the very question I wanted to ask you.
09:55I know him, Estella. He's an ill-tempered, stupid brute.
09:58I know him, too.
10:00I invited him.
10:05Thanks for you, wretched that you encourage a man like that.
10:08He's despised by everyone.
10:09This is foolish, Pip. It's not worth discussing.
10:11Yes, it is!
10:13Are you going to allow him to hover about you all night?
10:16All sorts of ugly creatures hover about a lighted candle.
10:19Can the candle help it?
10:22No, but you can.
10:24Perhaps, if I choose to.
10:26He's got nothing to recommend him but money and a ridiculous roll of addle-headed predecessors.
10:31Well, how can you throw yourself at a boar like that, the lowest in the crowd?
10:34I can bear it.
10:36Don't be so proud and inflexible.
10:45Will you never take warning?
10:47Of what?
10:48Of me.
10:49A warning not to be attracted by you. Is that what you mean?
10:52If you don't know what I mean by now, you're blind.
10:54But the way you looked at him, the way you smiled, you've never smiled at me like that.
11:01Pip, do you want me to deceive and entrap you?
11:05Is that what you're doing to Drummle?
11:07Yes.
11:09And many others.
11:11All of them but you.
11:12Well, look, my young friend.
11:14Yes.
11:14I'm sitting here.
11:16Yes.
11:17I'm sitting here.
11:17Yes.
11:19Yes.
11:19Yes.
11:28Yes.
11:29Yes.
11:30Yes.
11:32now my young friend I am going to have a word or two with you. what do you suppose
11:49what do you suppose you are living at the rate of? at the rate of sir? at the
11:56rate of. I don't know. I thought not. now Mr. Pitt pretend if you please. you've been drawing pretty freely here. your name occurs pretty often in Wemmick's cash book. but you are in debt of course. I'm afraid I must say yes sir. you know you must say yes don't you. I don't ask what you owe because you don't know and if you did know you wouldn't tell me. take
12:24this piece of paper. unfold it. tell me what it is. this is a banknote for 500 pounds. that is a banknote for 500 pounds and a very handsome sum of money too. you consider it so? undoubtedly. you consider it undoubtedly a handsome sum of money. that is a present to you Pip in earnest of your expectations.
12:54you will now take your money affairs entirely into your own hands. you will draw from Wemmick the sum of 125 pounds per quarter until you are in communication with the fountainhead and no longer with the mere agent.
13:07Mr. Jaggers! those are my instructions. I consider them injudicious but I am not paid for expressing any opinion on their merits. Mr. Jaggers please convey my gratitude. I am not paid to convey your words to anyone. now I have letters to write.
13:21nor will you give me toственно. you will try my help if I am not a modest writer.
13:37seriousness. I am not a modest writer. but I am not a vice designer. I give you n Tottenham to write.
13:41Mr. Wemmick, is that you?
14:11Herbert?
14:40Who's down there?
15:10Who is it?
15:17Who is it?
15:28Lister Pepp.
15:31Yes, that's my name. What's your business?
15:34I wish to come in, Master.
15:39It's very late. Is anything the matter?
15:43There's nothing the matter. I wish you no arm, Master.
15:50Very well.
15:57Explain yourself. What do you want?
16:01You're a Gaiman and no mistake.
16:04Oh, I'm glad you growed up a Gaiman.
16:08What do you want?
16:11Who are you?
16:14If the night wind had driven away the intervening years,
16:17I could not have known my convict more distinctly than I knew him now.
16:21You?
16:23I've come back, Master.
16:30Keep away! Keep away!
16:32Why?
16:42Why have you come back?
16:45How did you find me?
16:47Half a minute.
16:49Half a minute.
16:50I'll speak in half a minute.
16:54I've been looking forward for so long, so distant.
17:02After coming so far.
17:22Will you drink some wine before you go?
17:25Oh, you act a nobly boil on those shivering marshes.
17:30Please, take a wine.
17:31I shall never forget it.
17:33Oh, thank... thank you.
17:46How are you living?
17:52I've been a sheep farmer, a stock breeder, other trades besides.
18:00Away in the New World.
18:02A thousand miles to stormy water off.
18:05Well, I hope you have done well.
18:08Oh, I've... I've done wonderful well.
18:11Others went out along to be done well too, but...
18:15No man's done as well as I have.
18:17I... I'm famous for it.
18:20Well, I'm glad to hear it.
18:22If you thought I really deserve to be thanked for something I did when I was a child, then I'm extremely grateful that you came all this way to thank me.
18:35I'm sorry if I spoke harshly to you just now, but you must understand.
18:42I don't mean to repulse you.
18:43You... you ain't looked slowly forward to this... this moment like I have.
18:48You must understand.
18:50Under these different circumstances, I do not wish to renew your acquaintance.
18:55Oh, them's hard...
18:58Hard words, master.
19:00Well, it's not your fault.
19:04You don't know yet.
19:06No?
19:07Know what?
19:10Might I...
19:11Might I make some bold as to ask how you've done?
19:16I have expectations.
19:19When I am 21, I shall succeed to some property.
19:22Might a mere varmint inquire as to whose property, what property?
19:27I don't know.
19:29Concerning a guardian, maybe there ought to have been some sort of guardian or some such when you was a minor.
19:34Well, yes, but...
19:35A lawyer by the name of...
19:38Jaggers.
19:41Yes, dear boy, it were me.
19:44I made you into a gentleman.
19:47No.
19:49No, no, no.
19:50Miss Havisham is my benefactor.
19:51Miss who?
19:53Oh, lad, it were me.
19:54I'm the one that's done it.
19:55Me!
19:56I'm your second father.
19:59You're my son.
20:02Oh, how good-looking you, grown-up.
20:05But I don't understand.
20:06How could it be you, a convict?
20:07When I were hired out shepherd in Australia, not seeing faces except sheep, until I forgot what men's and women's faces look like.
20:20I've seen your face, Pip.
20:21Oh, man, he's the type, Pip.
20:22I've seen your face.
20:23Just as plain as I seemed on the misty marshes.
20:30Misty marshes.
20:32I swore if I got rich, you'd get rich.
20:36No sooner do I earn a guinea, that guinea should go to you.
20:40I live rough, dear boy, so you live smooth.
20:45I worked hard, so you would be above work.
20:50I saved money, just so you could spend it.
20:54Did...
20:57Did you never...
20:59Never once think it might be me?
21:01I got money left to me by my master who died.
21:12I got my liberty, and I went on me own.
21:18And it all prospered wonderful well.
21:21I'm famous for it.
21:23And if the horses of them colonists took dust on me as I walked,
21:28I said to myself,
21:31All right, you all own land and stock.
21:35But which of you owns a brought-up London gentleman?
21:40And then when one of them says to another,
21:43Well, he was a convict a few years ago,
21:46and still an ignorant fella for all he was lucky,
21:49what do I say to myself?
21:51If I'm not a gentleman, I'm the owner of such.
21:54That way, I kept myself a-going.
22:00I held it steady in my mind.
22:04And one day, I'd come back.
22:08I'd see my boy and make myself known to him on his own ground.
22:15And I've done it.
22:22At last, I've done it.
22:26It weren't easy for me to leave them parts.
22:30Nor safe neither.
22:32I need sleep now, deep and long.
22:37I've been sea-tossed and sea-washed for months and months.
22:45You've got to put me somewhere, dear boy.
22:49Where will you put me?
22:53Here.
22:55Look, lad, caution is necessary.
22:58Caution? How do you mean, caution?
22:59It's death if I am caught.
23:03Why? What have you done?
23:05I was sent to Australia for life.
23:09It's death to come back.
23:12If I am took, I shall be hanged.
23:29I'm Mary Grubber, lad. Always was.
23:39I don't even know by what name to call you.
23:43Magwitch. Chris Nabal.
23:46And are you known here in London?
23:49I mean, is there any chance someone might identify you in the street?
23:52I hope not.
23:54But you were tried here.
23:56Yeah.
23:58What...
24:00What were you tried for?
24:02What I done is worked out and paid for.
24:05Is worked out and paid for.
24:18We shall have to take precautions.
24:21To guard you from the danger of being seized.
24:23Well, the danger ain't so great.
24:25I don't intend to advertise myself in the newspapers.
24:34How long do you intend to stay?
24:38How long?
24:40I ain't a-going back, dear boy. I'm here for good.
24:44To go back would be worse than standing ground.
24:48But where will you live? Where will you be safe?
24:51Well, there's disgusting wigs to be bought and air powder and spectacles.
24:57No! No, that will be Herbert!
25:00Herbert?
25:02He's my dearest friend. These are his rooms.
25:03If he lives here, why don't he let himself in?
25:14Who is it?
25:15Night watchman, Mr Pitt.
25:17One moment.
25:20Don't make a sound.
25:30What is it, Pointer?
25:31There was a stranger asking after you, Mr Pitt, just after you got home.
25:35Only you haven't seen him go out again.
25:37My uncle from the country.
25:39He'll be staying with me for a day or two.
25:41Good night, Pointer.
25:42And likewise the person with him, Mr Pitt.
25:44What person?
25:46Well, I judge the person to be with your uncle.
25:48He took after him so quick.
25:50What kind of person?
25:52Well, sir, I can't rightly say.
25:54I didn't have no reason to attach any weight to his appearance,
25:55so I didn't look too close.
25:57Gent, I'd say, sir.
25:59Quietly spoken and well-dressed.
26:00Took this way after your uncle like I said.
26:03Well, nobody else has come here.
26:05Good night, Pointer.
26:06Must have slipped out again without my noticing.
26:08Yes.
26:09Handle, my dear fellow, still up?
26:11I'll say good night, Mr Pitt.
26:13Mr Herbert.
26:14Good night, Pointer.
26:19Hello, what's this?
26:21Oh, put your knife away!
26:22This is my friend Herbert.
26:24What is this handle?
26:26Herbert.
26:28Well, something very strange has happened.
26:31This...
26:33This is a visitor of mine.
26:38Here, Pip's comrade.
26:40Take this in your right hand.
26:41What is it?
26:42You've never seen a testament before.
26:43Take it!
26:45Go on, Herbert, please.
26:47We'll have him on his oath, see.
26:50Now, Pip's comrade.
26:51Kiss the book.
26:53And now you're on your oath.
26:56Lord, strike you dead.
26:59If you ever split on me.
27:07I'll never take another penny from him, never!
27:09He's strongly attached to you, Handle.
27:11Are you really so set on renouncing his patronage?
27:14Of course I am!
27:15How can you doubt it?
27:16You'd think what it would do to him, Handle.
27:19He comes here at the peril of his life,
27:21and after all the toil and waiting,
27:23you cut the ground from under his feet
27:24and destroy his hopes.
27:26It would make all his gains worthless.
27:29How do you think he's going to behave
27:30if you disappoint him in that way?
27:33If you forsook him now,
27:34I think he'd deliberately allow himself to be captured again.
27:37Could you have that on your conscience, Handle?
27:39Could you?
27:42That's the power he is over you.
27:47Well, what's to be done?
27:49You're quite convinced you can take no further benefits from him.
27:51Surely you'd feel the same if you were in my place.
27:55But you do have a certain tenderness for the life he's risked on your behalf.
28:06Yes.
28:09Sit down, Pip.
28:10Mr. Jaggers, I have come here only to assure myself that what I have been told is true.
28:19And what have you been told?
28:21I have been told by a person named Abel Magwitch
28:24that he is the benefactor so long unknown to me!
28:26Did you say told or informed?
28:32Told would seem to imply verbal communication.
28:40You can't have verbal communication with a man in New South Wales.
28:45So it is true.
28:47Told or informed, Pip?
28:48Abel Magwitch is not in New South Wales!
28:50Don't tell me any more, Pip. I don't want to know.
28:53Mr Jaggers...
28:54No, Pip!
28:56Don't commit yourself.
28:59Don't commit anybody.
29:01I'm not even curious.
29:03Sit down and join us.
29:04But I always supposed Miss Havisham was my benefactor.
29:08Take nothing on its looks.
29:09Take everything on the evidence.
29:11No better rule, eh, Wimmick?
29:18The banknote for £500 that you gave me.
29:21I cannot accept it.
29:23And I shall accept no more money from Abel Magwitch!
29:34Sit down.
29:55I, uh, communicated to Abel Magwitch in New South Wales
30:01when he first wrote to me
30:03from New South Wales
30:06the caution that he must not expect me
30:09ever to deviate from the strict line of fact.
30:14He appeared to me in his letter
30:16to have obscurely hinted at some
30:21distant idea he had of seeing you in England here.
30:26I cautioned him I must hear no more of that.
30:29that he was not in the least likely to obtain a pardon,
30:33that he was expatriated for the term of his natural life,
30:36and that his presenting himself in this country
30:40was an act of felony
30:42rendering him liable to the extreme penalty of the law.
30:49I gave Magwitch that caution a long time ago, Pip.
30:54I'm afraid he didn't guide himself by your advice.
30:58And that is precisely why I must be told no more of the matter.
31:02So, Pip, some other news.
31:16I hear our friend the spider has played his cards
31:22and may win the pool.
31:24Bentley Drummle.
31:25Promising young fellow in his own way to be sure,
31:26though he may not get it all his own way.
31:27The stronger will win in the end, but
31:29the stronger has to be found out first.
31:31Well, here's to Miss Estella,
31:32and may the question of supremacy be settled to the lady's satisfaction.
31:35and may the question of supremacy be settled to the lady's satisfaction.
31:37and may win the pool.
31:39Bentley Drummle.
31:41Promising young fellow in his own way to be sure,
31:44though he may not get it all his own way.
31:47The stronger will win in the end, but
31:50the stronger has to be found out first.
31:53Well, here's to Miss Estella,
31:56and may the question of supremacy be settled to the lady's satisfaction.
32:05Mr. Jaggers is a wonderful man,
32:12but I always feel I have to screw myself up when I dine with him,
32:16and I dine more comfortably unscrewed.
32:19I wouldn't say that to anybody but yourself, of course.
32:22Mr. Wemmick.
32:24Hmm?
32:25Do you remember you once told me to take special notice
32:28of Mr. Jaggers' housekeeper?
32:30A wild beast tamed, you called her.
32:33Did I say that?
32:35Yes.
32:36Well, how did Mr. Jaggers tame her?
32:38Oh!
32:39Astonishing it was.
32:40The way he worked her case at the Old Bailey.
32:43Astonishing.
32:44It was the making of him.
32:46On trial for murder, she was.
32:49About 20 years ago.
32:50Who was murdered?
32:51Another woman.
32:52Choked in a barn near Hounslow Heath.
32:55And after she was acquitted, she went into service for Mr. Jaggers.
33:00She did.
33:03Did Molly have a child?
33:05Oh, bless me, yes, she did.
33:08Boy or a girl?
33:09Said to have been a girl.
33:11Little might of two or three.
33:13Died soon after the trial, I believe.
33:18I believe not.
33:20Herbert.
33:21Herbert.
33:22Who is it?
33:23It's Pip.
33:24Open the door.
33:25Has anything happened?
33:26A transformation.
33:27How did it be done, Hatle?
33:28Well, disguised, dear boy.
33:29That old slob suit, isn't he?
33:30That old slob suit, isn't he?
33:31No.
33:32What's wrong with that?
33:33Is he?
33:34Herbert?
33:35Herbert.
33:36Who is it?
33:37It's Pip.
33:38Open the door.
33:39Has anything happened?
33:40A transformation.
33:41It had to be done, Hatle.
33:44Disguised, dear boy.
33:46In that old slob suit, isn't he?
33:49It had to be done, Handel.
33:54Disguised, dear boy.
33:56In that old slob suit, he was much too conspicuous.
33:59All he knew was a parrot on his shoulder. But he looks...
34:02He looks... Something between a dean and a dentist.
34:04Out of keeping.
34:09What have you done to his hair? Cut and powdered.
34:12It's like rouge on the dead, Herbert. He looks awful.
34:16Where did you get those clothes? At home.
34:18They belong to my grandfather.
34:20Are you mad? Nobody saw me take them.
34:22You mean you left him here alone to go to Hammersmith?
34:24My dear Handel, whatever else your uncle is, he's not an imbecile.
34:28I was gone for less than an hour.
34:30Yes, well, the clothes could have waited. I think not.
34:33He has to be moved from here as soon as possible.
34:35If he was followed last night, we can expect another visitation.
34:38Where can we move him?
34:40On my way back from Hammersmith, I took the liberty of securing a room in a lodging house
34:44almost within hailing distance of these windows.
34:46You see, I've not been sitting idly by.
34:49Oh.
34:50What others have done afore to you, boy, others can do again.
34:53You take it very smoothly now.
34:55Last night, you swore it was death.
34:57Oh, I'm an old bird.
34:58I was dead all manners of traps as he was first fledged.
35:02Are you to fear to perch on an old scarecrow, eh?
35:08And if there be death hid inside that old scarecrow, let him come out.
35:15I'll face him.
35:16We can take him to the lodging after dark.
35:18He's to be known there as Mr. Provis.
35:24I've never felt a stronger urge to enlist for India as a private soldier.
35:29Well, dear boy, I'm Pip's comrade.
35:40I'll give him your life, short and handy.
35:44In jail, out of jail.
35:46In jail, out of jail.
35:48There you've got it.
35:51That's my life.
35:54Till such time as I was shipped off after Pip stood my friend.
36:00I'd been done everything to, nearly.
36:03Except hanged.
36:06I'd been locked up tighter in a silver tea kettle.
36:10Carded here, carded there.
36:16Showed out of this town, out of that.
36:19Stuck in the stalks.
36:21Whipped, worried, drove.
36:25When I was Mr. Raggy, little creature,
36:29I got the name for being hardened.
36:32Real hardened, this one, they'd say, to prison visitors picking out me.
36:36Might be said to live in jail, this boy.
36:42Tramping, begging, thieving.
36:46Working a bit when I could.
36:49Bit of a poacher, bit of a walker.
36:54Bit of most things that lead nowhere and make trouble.
36:58About 20 years ago, we had some races.
37:06I made the acquaintance of a man...
37:10whose skull I'd crack with a poker if I had it on Yon Hob.
37:15His name was Comperson.
37:18Yes, dear boy.
37:20I was the man...
37:23you seen me a-pounding there in that ditch on...
37:27on the marshes.
37:29He set up for a gentleman did Comperson.
37:32He had a learning.
37:36But he had...
37:39no more heart than an iron file.
37:43He was as cold as death was Comperson.
37:46His business was...
37:51forging...
37:55fraud...
37:57stolen banknote passing...
38:00sort of thing.
38:02I went in with him as his partner.
38:05You worked with him?
38:07Ah, a poor tool I was in his hands.
38:09Well, it would take a week to go through the...
38:13things that he planned and I did.
38:18That'd be enough...
38:20to say to your boy and Pip's comrade that...
38:23that man got me into such nets as...
38:26turned me into his black slave.
38:29I...
38:31I was always in his debt.
38:33Always under his thumb.
38:35Anyway...
38:37him and me were charged with felony for...
38:41passing...
38:43stolen banknotes.
38:45Well, what happened?
38:47Well, what happened?
38:49Well, it had him as got...
38:52seven years and me 14.
38:54Oh, but that's monstrous.
38:56Well, it had him as recommended for mercy...
38:57for good behavior and...
38:59bad company.
39:01I'm giving all the information he could...
39:05against me.
39:10It's all right.
39:12I am going to be low.
39:16Anyway, him and me was in the same prison trip.
39:20He escaped in his blind terror...
39:23to get away from me and my murderous intentions.
39:26And I went after him.
39:33We were resting...
39:35on the gravestones when I...
39:37I first see my boy.
39:43I...
39:45I know it's time to go in.
39:47Give me a minute, Pip. Just a minute.
39:49After we had seen Magwitch safely established...
39:51in his own dark little room...
39:52Herbert and I felt the need of something...
39:55to lighten our spirits.
39:57To...
39:59Rise!
40:00Rise again!
40:02Had I but timing...
40:04as this fell sergeant death is strict in his arrest...
40:06but let that be...

41:22when you come to the grave or you show the cloak off beautiful mind you judging from the wing it
41:48seemed to me you might have made more of the stockings when you seen the ghost silence I have
41:53just seen a young friend of mine leaving the theater his name is mr. Pip you'll find him and
41:58his companion in the hostelry next door I imagine go bring them to me mr. Walden Garther gentlemen I'm
42:07proud to see you I hope mr. Pip you'll excuse my sending over for you I had the happiness to know
42:13mr. Pip in former time sir drama has always had a claim on the noble and the affluent mr. Walden Garther you
42:20must forgive me I'm afraid I don't forgive me mr. Pip please won't you be seated gentlemen please
42:27one has such a frightful perspiration in princely sables mr. Wopsle why no wonder I failed to
42:41recognize you that wig and the name professional mr. Pip one cannot revive the drama with a name like
42:47Wopsle you should crush it with a name like Walden Garther mr. Wopsle this is my friend Herbert Pocket
42:54how do you do John Joe Gargery told me you'd left the church and gone into play acting drama mr. Pip
43:01drama I believe he even left us one of your playbills you can't be you're surely not the mr. Walden Garther
43:08this celebrated provincial amateur that mr. Walden Garther you've heard of me mr. Lockett pocket I do
43:15believe I did occasion of minor sensation in local dramatic circles now you sit there quietly in your
43:20chair mr. Walden Garther and leave the stockings to me got to skin them off or he'll bust them bust them
43:27and you'll be busting five and thirty shillings oh Shakespeare never was complimented with a finer pair
43:35mm-hmm how did it seem to you to go mr. Pip in front ah well as a matter of fact mr. Wopsle mr. Walden Garver we were
43:44it went capitally we thought how did you like my reading of the character massive wasn't it
43:51handle massive and concrete massive and concrete I'm glad to have your approbation gentlemen a unique
44:00performance I thought in the highest tragic tradition of our national bard thank you mr.
44:06rocket most kind I'll tell you one thing you're out in your reading when you get your legs in profile
44:10the last Hamlet I dressed he made the same mistake facing the front you should have been my view might
44:18be a little classic and thoughtful for them here I'm surprised that you spotted us in all that smoke and
44:23gloom I saw you all all but there are just the two of us yes it is very strange yet I could swear to
44:30it whether I should have noticed him at first but for your being there I can't be positive I think I
44:35should though whom did you see I had the ridiculous fancy he must be with you until I saw you were
44:39quite unaware of him standing there behind you mr. Wopsle please who was it I dare say you wonder at me
44:47uh it is very strange I could hardly believe my eyes you remember mr. Pip when you were quite a
44:53little boy a certain day I dined with you at Joe Gargery's the day soldiers came to get handcuffs
44:58mended yes yes and you remember that chase after two convicts and a scuffle between them in the mud
45:04yes I remember that very well well mr. Pip one of those two prisoners was standing right behind you
45:11tonight I saw him over your shoulder
45:13Herbert it can't have been of course not we've only just left him I supposing he followed us down from
45:20his room mr. Walden Garver you saw this man's face clearly a big man dark complexion spectacles
45:27there was no mistaking that scar a scar there you see a complete strange
45:31it was the other one Herbert yes mr. Pip the convict with the scar I swear to it he was watching you
45:40it could have been a coincidence oh no it's no coincidence
45:46compasson is here in London and knows about magwitch well the simplest way to release himself from the
45:53dreaded enemy is to become an informer then why is he not done so what's he waiting for
45:57his caution can only be for one reason he lives in mortal fear of magwitch well he must be terrified
46:05that even if he does inform on him magwitch might somehow evade the authorities and kill him
46:09sit down handle I have an idea Clara's father has a small boat at Millpon Bank will you and I both
46:19good waterman we could take magwitch down the river ourselves at least well beyond gravesend and then
46:24what Hanberg Rotterdam Antwerp any foreign steamer will do no I don't think Clara should be involved in
46:32this it would be too dangerous to hire a boat for the purpose and if we move fast enough neither
46:37Claire nor father need be troubled you could go with magwitch on the steamer and I could find a
46:41fellow to help me row the return journey we'll give it out here that your uncle's been summoned
46:47unexpectedly to Dover Dover why Dover confusion the more that we can cause the better well if I'm to
46:54go with him to go abroad I mean I must see Estella first well Herbert it may be months before I return
46:59I understand look I've still got time to catch the early morning coach will you take charge of magwitch
47:06till I return I'll be back before dusk with any luck Comperson will follow you all the way to Satis
47:11house oh her but I don't know what I might have done but for your friendship and affection
47:16my poor dear
47:22hello there open the gates
47:31hello
47:41I was angry with miss Havisham I knew now that she had never had any intentions towards me
47:46she had allowed me to believe that she was my benefactor she had allowed me to suffer in this
47:52house as a convenience a model with a mechanical heart to practice on sharpest and deepest pain of
47:59all she had allowed me to think that Estella was part of my expectations
48:03are you tired of me already I thought I heard a door close speak the truth you ingrate you are tired of me
48:19you stone you cold cold heart you reproach me for being cold you
48:31well are you not I am what you made me
48:36so hard and thankless what is it you want from me love how can I give you what you've taught me not to feel
48:46I must be taken as I have been made
48:50so cold and hard
48:55what wind blows you here
49:01something that certainly won't displease you miss Havisham
49:09I'm as unhappy as you can ever have meant me to be
49:13well I found out who my patron is
49:18it isn't a fortunate discovery miss Havisham
49:24it isn't likely to enrich me in reputation
49:28there are reasons why I must say no more of that
49:34when you first caused me to be brought here
49:40and how I wish now I'd never left that village
49:43I suppose I did really come by chance
49:47you did
49:48as a kind of servant to gratify some whim of yours
49:51you were liberally paid for your attendance
49:54and Mr Jaggers
49:55Jaggers had nothing to do with it
49:57so the fact that he's your lawyer and also my guardian is nothing but a coincidence
50:02I imagine he holds the same relation with a number of people
50:06but when I thought it was more than mere coincidence
50:10you led me on
50:12was that kind?
50:15kind?
50:16who am I for God's sake that I should be kind?
50:27that was a horribly cruel thing to do miss Havisham
50:31to torture me through all these years with a vain hope and an idle pursuit
50:37I have asked these questions only for my own information
50:46what follows has another purpose
50:50in humoring my mistake miss Havisham
50:54you punished
50:56practiced on your relations
50:59well perhaps you'll supply whatever term expresses your intention
51:03they made their own snares
51:05I happen to have been amongst some of those relations since I went to London
51:10and most of them are as self-seeking as you suspect
51:13they have no liking for you
51:16but you deeply wrong both Mr Matthew Pocket and his son Herbert
51:21if you suppose them to be anything but generous, upright and open
51:26of course you would say that
51:29they are your friends
51:30for whether or not you're inclined to give credence to it
51:34I know that they are incapable of anything designing or mean
51:38well they may be of the same blood as Sarah Pocket and the rest
51:43but believe me
51:44they are not of the same nature
51:47and what do you want for your friends
51:52only that you shouldn't confound them with your other relatives
51:56what do you want for your friends
52:00Miss Havisham
52:04if you would spare the money
52:10to do my friend Herbert Pocket a lasting service in life
52:14but without his knowledge
52:18I would show you how it could be done
52:22why must it be done without his knowledge
52:25because I began the service myself
52:27and I don't want to be betrayed
52:29why do you fail in your ability to complete it
52:32I can't explain that
52:38and is there anything else
52:44yes
52:46Estella
52:50I know I have no hope now
52:54that I shall ever call you mine
52:55I'm ignorant what may become of me
52:58how poor I may be
52:59or where I may go
53:00but you must know
53:03that I love you
53:05I've loved you ever since I first saw you in this house
53:09and I shall always love you
53:12it seems there are certain sentiments
53:16I am unable to comprehend
53:17when you say you love me
53:20I know what you mean as a form of words
53:22but nothing more
53:23you touch nothing here
53:26nothing at all
53:28I have tried to warn you of this before now
53:32have I not
53:33but I thought and hoped that it couldn't be true
53:36well it isn't natural Estella
53:38you're so young and untried
53:40and beautiful
53:41it is natural to me
53:42is it true that
53:48Bentley Drummle is pursuing you
53:51yes
53:52and that you encourage him
53:55quite true
53:56I dine with him tonight
53:57but you can't love him
53:59Pip
54:00what have I just told you about love
54:03do you really think I don't mean what I say
54:06I am to be married to Bentley Drummle
54:12dear Estella
54:15dear Estella
54:16don't let her lead you into this fatal step
54:19can't you see
54:20that's what she's always planned
54:22well put me aside forever if you must
54:25but bestow yourself on someone worthier than that means
54:28we shall be married quite soon
54:30you and I will never understand each other Pip
54:36I am tired of the life I've led
54:40it has few chance for me
