00:00The End
00:30So glad you could come.
01:00Where's Belle?
01:02She'll be down in a minute.
01:04But there's something she thought you ought to hear first.
01:07You go through. I'll go and find Freddy.
01:16So, you took her away from the towers because my father was going to kill her.
01:22Belle. His own daughter.
01:25His daughter by name, not by birth.
01:27Nevertheless.
01:28It must be difficult for you to believe, but it's the truth.
01:31Without the servants, Belle would never have lived.
01:34It was only because he was in such a stupor with all the opium that they were able to hide her.
01:39An opium addict as well?
01:41Aye. I used to run small packages across for him.
01:45I did a lot for your father. Clearly.
01:48How long are they going to be?
01:51Take it easy, lass.
01:55Didn't your grandmother ever tell you what sort of man her daughter married?
01:59She didn't like him. I knew that.
02:01But I didn't know why.
02:03She said he died in an accident.
02:09What really happened?
02:13He was probably attacked because of what he had on him that night.
02:16His horse was found wandering around and he was found later in the river with his skull broken.
02:22I see.
02:23Your grandmother never told you.
02:25No, she damn well did not.
02:29I'm sorry, Miss Hewitt.
02:30I've heard worse.
02:34I think, Mr. Bergsted, that you should give yourself time.
02:39Time to think about it all.
02:41There'll be talk. There's no getting away from that.
02:44People always think the worst.
02:49Everything was so perfect.
02:53I don't know. I...
02:54Don't say anything now.
02:56Think it out for yourself.
02:57Whatever you decide.
03:01You decide.

04:49you
04:53you
04:57Oh, my God.
05:27I had to see you.
05:29I didn't think you'd come back.
05:31Of course I came back.
05:34I love you.
05:36Marcel, I'm so sorry.
05:38For what?
05:40Of being who I am.
05:43Belle,
05:45will you marry me?
05:48I'll say you will, I beg you.
05:51Of course I will.
05:53I love you too.
05:56You will?
05:58Then I'll be able to sleep tonight.
06:08I love you, Belle.
06:09I must go.
06:23I know.
06:24I've always thought of her as a daughter.
06:47You know that.
06:48But this Marcel fella, what's he up to?
06:51I mean, why hasn't he written or something?
06:52It's been a fortnight.
06:53I mean, I'd be delighted, mine, if it turns out someone's broken his charming, elegant neck for him.
06:57But his bloody odd behaviour, don't you think?
06:59Well, Belle says he has to go away on business.
07:02Mills, estates to manage, it's possible.
07:04Well, I don't reckon that fella's ever seen a mill in his life.
07:08As to managing an estate, I don't reckon he can manage to pass wind without help.
07:12Isn't it time we found out what his game is?
07:13I think what you'll find out will be quite simple, Freddie.
07:16Just that the rich are different.
07:17Different rules apply.
07:21Blue call himself Taylor out front.
07:23And will you condescend to grant him a moment of your precious time?
07:28High-class jeweller and silversmith to the gentry.
07:31Oh, that Taylor.
07:32The fence.
07:34Show him in.
07:35Right away.
07:40What the hell does he want?
07:42We'll soon find out.
07:43Mr. Taylor.
07:50Have you read that?
07:55A substantial reward is offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the robbery and murder of Mr. Roderick Gallagher of the Towers in September 1867.
08:07Why are you showing us this, Mr. Taylor?
08:09Do you remember that little diamond I bought from you, Miss Hewitt?
08:15Do you also recall that you asked me not to reveal that I'd bought it from you?
08:21To say that I had obtained it from a Dutch seaman?
08:26Yes.
08:28Mr. Freeman came to see me yesterday.
08:32He's found out that I handled that diamond.
08:35And he wanted to know who I'd bought it from.
08:39What did you tell him?
08:41I told him about the Dutch sailor.
08:44As you instructed.
08:47I don't see what this has to do with the advertisement.
08:49A lot of people in the river trade are of the opinion that Mr. Gallagher was killed because of the collection of jewels he was carrying.
09:01Now, it's plain to me that Freeman thinks that your little diamond came from that collection.
09:07And it's also clear to me that he planted that advertisement and that makes me very frightened, Miss Hewitt.
09:15Very frightened.
09:17Freeman's lot have done some terrible things to people.
09:20Hmm?
09:22Well, I didn't bargain for this, I can tell you.
09:24I didn't bargain for it.
09:26Mr. Taylor.
09:27No, no, no, no, no.
09:29You've always been very fair with me, Miss Hewitt.
09:33Well, I don't see how giving you some of the money back will make Freeman believe you any better, do you?
09:42But it might give you the courage to keep us out of it.
09:46Oh, aye.
09:47Aye.
09:49Aye, it might and all.
10:03I'm relying on you, Mr. Taylor.
10:12If Freeman calls again, make sure you convince him.
10:25None of us will succeed if you fail.
10:28Well, I wish you a good day, ma'am.
10:33I'm wondering if I shouldn't go and have it out with Freeman over these jewels.
10:38I don't like the idea of him thinking I know anything about them.
10:41Like Taylor said, he's got some dangerous friends.
10:44I reckon I'll go and see him.
10:45No, Freddie, don't go get involved.
10:48He didn't work it out for himself.
10:49Ah, maybe you're right.
10:52Again.
10:55It's nothing, I'll be all right in a minute.
10:57That was fun.
11:04You been to see that doctor?
11:06Yes.
11:08You gonna tell me about it?
11:10Not now.
11:11Come on, take me home.
11:14I think I will.
11:15Okay.
11:15I'm surprised you came.
11:24I'd heard that this was ill.
11:26She is.
11:27But she wouldn't want me to miss me Saturday tea in the bosom of me family.
11:31Well, I'm glad to hear it.
11:32Because we hardly see you in the week.
11:34And I've got enough of me place without your mother running around with a face like a mudflat.
11:38Have you spoken to our Nancy yet?
11:40Hello, Freddie.
11:41I was just telling the bank to hear about Nancy.
11:45Oh, aye.
11:46She's got this, er, fella after her.
11:49Yeah?
11:50What's he like?
11:51I've never seen him.
11:52He's a bloody exciseman.
11:54That's enough for me.
11:55Oh, for God's sake, though.
11:57He's an exciseman.
11:58They're a type.
11:59And I suppose you've said you peaced her about them all having clove and hooves and forked tails and horns and bloodshot eyes.
12:07The tea's ready.
12:09Bigoted old bugger.
12:11An exciseman.
12:13A gallagher.
12:14What?
12:15What's the difference, Freddie?
12:18Darn Nancy, you and Bell.
12:20It's what you call prejudice, whichever way you cut it.
12:23What's the difference?
12:25The difference is I've met this fella.
12:28He's good looking.
12:30He's charming.
12:31And I don't trust him an inch.
12:33There's something he's not telling us.
12:36That's the difference.
12:37Not that anything I say will stop it.
12:40So, how is the miss?
12:45Is she all right to be left?
12:47Aye.
12:48Bell's there.
12:50It's not serious.
12:51It's been going on a long time.
12:54Do we know what's wrong?
12:55She never lets on.
12:57They think it's something called a tumour.
13:00And it's growing.
13:01That's why she's in pain.
13:03How do you know this, Ma?
13:04Well, she talks to me, lad.
13:07And don't let on I told you.
13:09I worry about her.
13:09I really do.
13:10Aye.
13:11More than you worry about me.
13:13You're wrong there, Ma.
13:13I've told you before.
13:15I don't want any of your fancy excuses.
13:18There's something between you two that shuts me out.
13:21Has been for years.
13:22God.
13:22Why is it always like this?
13:25If you knew how you sounded, how you smell, you smell of anger, all of you.
13:30And right now, it's making me choke.
13:42Freddie?
13:43Aye.
13:47I knew you'd be here.
13:50You know, I've been seeing Joseph Pratt.
13:52Well, he's asked me to marry him.
13:55And I think I might have to refuse.
13:58Because of Da.
14:00Because he's an excised man.
14:03If he loves you, you should take him.
14:06Do you care for him?
14:08Yes, I do.
14:10He's kind and honest.
14:12Yes, I do care.
14:14I more than care.
14:15Then who gives that for what people think?
14:19I hoped you'd think that, Freddie.
14:22Thanks.
14:30Freddie.
14:31Our Nancy's young man's here to see you.
14:35You must be Jill, then.
14:37What can I do for you?
14:38I hear you put in a good word for me with Nancy.
14:46Sort of.
14:47Well, I thought one good turn deserves another.
14:50An advertisement has appeared with the reward attached.
14:53About Gallagher.
14:54Yeah, I've seen it.
14:55Aye, well, there's been a result.
14:57Someone's written a letter without putting his name to it.
14:59Now, I haven't seen it.
15:01But I've been told it has to do with you.
15:04About me?
15:04In what way?
15:05Well, that you used to run stuff for Gallagher.
15:08And you made a delivery to him the night he was killed.
15:10Oh, that's true.
15:12Anything else?
15:13But I think that'll be enough.
15:15Well, enough to start questioning you about it all.
15:18Aye, I see.
15:20Thanks for the warning, Joe.
15:22Someone's obviously got it in for me.
15:24Keep you up to date, eh?
15:26Right.
15:27I'll do that.
15:35Oh, Belle.
15:37When you said you loved me.
15:38What?
15:40What?
15:41I could have...
15:42I could have jumped over a mountain.
15:45I felt 20 feet tall.
15:48Do you still love me?
15:51Yes.
15:52I've always dreamt of someone like you.
15:55I couldn't believe you were going to be real.
15:58But you are.
16:00And you're here.
16:10Miss Hewitt.
16:11Mr. Musgrave.
16:13My grandmother wishes me to send her warmest regards
16:16and invite you to visit her at the towers
16:18as soon as it's convenient.
16:20Well, we'll look forward to that, don't we, Freddie?
16:28There's one more thing.
16:29Yes?
16:30A request I wish to make on my own behalf.
16:33A request for which I believe I have the approval
16:36of the person concerned.
16:37I think you know what it is.
16:41I do.
16:46Are you happy?
16:51Then you have my approval, too.
16:53As long as you look after her.
16:55Yes, you can marry her.
16:56Thank you, Aunt Madeline.
16:58Thank you very much.
16:58You've made us both very happy.
17:01Well, go on off with you.
17:02You've had your answer.
17:03Married.
17:11She's only known him three months.
17:13It's a bit of a rush, isn't it?
17:15Freddie, Freddie.
17:16It isn't a question of how long.
17:17It's how she feels.
17:19No point in feeling sorry for yourself.
17:23It isn't me I feel sorry for.
17:26It's her.
17:27Well, you might as well get used to it.
17:29She isn't going to change her mind.
17:41This is your house.
17:43What do you think?
17:45It's beautiful.
17:47Not nearly as beautiful as you are.
17:50I cannot wait for you to meet Grandma.
17:56Cummings.
17:57Is Grandma upstairs?
17:58No, sir.
17:59She insisted on coming down.
18:00That's good.
18:02Grandma's maid.
18:02How do you do?
18:03Very well, thank you, Miss.
18:05She's a maid.
18:06Not a maid in a heart.
18:13So here is Marcel's discovery.
18:16Miss Isabel Hewitt, Grandmama.
18:18How do you do, Mrs. Bergstead?
18:20Well, enough, thank you.
18:21Well, yes, I can see the reason for all the fuss.
18:26Do sit down, my dear.
18:30Ring for tea, will you, Marcel?
18:34Grandmama, you shouldn't have come downstairs, you know.
18:38You are very naughty.
18:40Naughty?
18:41My dear boy, I scarcely know the meaning of the word.
18:44I am sure I have never been naughty in my entire life.
18:48I serve 34 with tea, which I know is not conventional,
18:58but I was never one for convention.
19:01I obey the laws, but not the rules.
19:03Isn't that so?
19:04It is.
19:06You're a law unto yourself, Grandma.
19:09Marcel?
19:09Do excuse me.
19:21Well, well, well.
19:23What a strange situation we find ourselves in.
19:27To think that your mother and Marcel's mother
19:30both married the same man.
19:33An unfortunate choice.
19:37And now here you are, back in the house where you were born.
19:41Does it seem very strange to you?
19:44Yes.
19:45I can't remember it, of course,
19:48but I have thought about it a great deal recently.
19:51It is very different from how I imagined it.
19:54So much more handsome.
19:56Naturally.
19:57It might all have been yours, of course,
20:01had things turned out differently.
20:03So I see it as a sort of poetic justice
20:06that you should return here.
20:08A homecoming, indeed.
20:10I'm so glad you think so.
20:12I'm glad, too.
20:14I congratulate your aunt.
20:16She has obviously furnished you with a sterling education.
20:20I think Marcel an extremely lucky young man
20:24to have found you.
20:27Yes, I believe she will do as well as any
20:38if he is determined.
20:39He seems to be, doesn't he?
20:41Yes.
20:42He does, ma'am.
20:46Of course, I knew him.
20:50Used to work for the bloody madman, didn't I?
20:52Used to bury his French brandy in the midden.
20:55Oh, God knows.
20:56And I know what happened to the bastard and all.
20:59Of course I did.
21:00Probably, for all you know,
21:02I am the only one who does.
21:05And that is mine for the tear.
21:07It's like a dream, Aunt Maggie.
21:10The old lady wears a wig and does herself up like a fairy godmother.
21:14And the luxury.
21:15There are 18 servants, and that's not counting the outside stuff.
21:18And he loves me.
21:21He really does.
21:23And the old lady said how much she approves of his choice.
21:26She said so twice.
21:27Oh!
21:28And you're invited whenever you want to go.
21:31You will, won't you?
21:32Of course I will.
21:34As soon as I'm over this bout,
21:36I'll be across that river like an eel in the moonlight.
21:39Aunt Maggie, I love you so much.
21:41I'll get better soon.
21:44I'll do my best.
21:46You're going to be rich.
21:47You're going to be rich, rich, rich, rich.
21:49Come on, you're rich.
21:50What's that?
21:53There you are.
21:54See?
21:55Oh, God.
21:58Have you?
22:00You haven't been blabbing about this, have you?
22:02Blabbing?
22:03What do you mean, blabbing?
22:04As mean, for the tear can thine it.
22:06Don't be bloody daft.
22:08You weren't there.
22:09We'll be rich.
22:11Don't even need the other stuff here.
22:13I needn't bother now.
22:15You weren't there.
22:16Oh, yes, I was.
22:19I saw it all.
22:20I'd done for him.
22:22Saw it all.
22:23He would be rich.
22:25What the hell are you talking about?
22:31Oh, God.
22:32What other stuff?
22:34You were there, you said?
22:35I was.
22:37That's right.
22:38You were there.
22:38You waited.
22:44You took the bloody jewels off Gallagher after he was dead, didn't you?
22:49You great...
22:50Oh!
22:51Mother of God, you'll be the death of us all yet, you stupid, drunken bastard!
22:57What's going on?
22:58You're an old fool!
23:05You're very stubborn.
23:10You're very stupid.
23:13Now I'll tell you something.
23:19My little cat gets quite peckish of an evening.
23:24She likes her meat very fresh.
23:28So I think I'll cut your ears off.
23:32Oh!
23:33Oh!
23:33Oh!
23:34Oh!
23:34Oh!
23:35Oh!
23:35Oh!
23:35Oh!
23:35Oh!
23:35Oh!
23:36Oh!
23:36Oh!
23:37Just a minute.
23:49Hello?
23:51Who is it?
24:02Oh, God.
24:04What have you done to you, da?
24:08She stopped me sending for the doctor last week.
24:11When was she lost in real pain?
24:13You were there.
24:14The day before yesterday.
24:15And last night, yes.
24:16What are you two whispering about?
24:18I'm going mad sitting around this house.
24:20I'm going into the office, see if I can catch them skiving.
24:22You'll do no such thing.
24:24You try and stop me.
24:26Well, in that case, I'll join you.
24:28I think it's about time I had a word with Freeman.
24:30And you've got a button drawer to prepare.
24:32I suggest you get on with it.
24:33You've left yourself little enough time before this wedding of yours.
24:37Come on, Freddie.
24:40What the devil are you talking about?
24:45An anonymous letter?
24:47That's not my way.
24:49If I did that, the first thing you'd do is open your mouth wide.
24:55What would be the point in it?
24:56The point would be that I know too much about you.
24:58But if you discredited me, then maybe no one would listen to what I say.
25:02No, no.
25:03You haven't thought this out.
25:04Who'd come off worse in the end, eh?
25:05I would.
25:06Don't be so bloody, Jim.
25:07Look about you, Musgrave.
25:08I'm a businessman.
25:09This is what I build up.
25:11It makes my business colleagues happy to forget my past.
25:14And you know not the reason why they're happy to.
25:15Because each one of them is happy to.
25:16You know not the reason why they're happy to.
25:18Because each one of them has their own skeleton in the cupboard.
25:19I know that.
25:20Of course.
25:21Of course.
25:22You haven't thought this out.
25:23Who'd come off worse in the end, eh?
25:26I would.
25:27Don't be so bloody, Jim.
25:29Look about you, Musgrave.
25:32I'm a businessman.
25:34This is what I build up.
25:38It makes my business colleagues happy to forget my past.
25:40And you know not the reason why they're happy to.
25:44Because each one of them has got their own skeleton in the cupboard.
25:47I know that.
25:48Quite right. No one wants the bones of their secrets rattled.
25:53We all know too much about each other.
25:57I'd have a post bag full of anonymous letters to Sandart once to start it down Nut Road.
26:02I take the point.
26:05Now these gems. I'm keen to see them. Of course I am.
26:10But they're nothing compared to the weight of my reputation as a solid burglar of this city.
26:15With half the council in his pocket.
26:18Oh, more than half.
26:20More than half.
26:23Besides, I'm not in the habit of making enemies I don't need to, Musgrave.
26:27It takes ten times more energy dealing with an enemy than a friend.
26:32There's somebody else behind this.
26:36I've heard of men not knowing who their friends are, but enemies.
26:42What about the Wheatleys?
26:44Gallagher's old servants.
26:46They're back, I've heard.
26:49I suppose they'd know something about it.
26:52Have you made enemies there?
26:55Not as far as I know.
26:56Listen, Musgrave.
27:00Tell me the truth now.
27:03You haven't seen those jewels, have you?
27:07Huh?
27:10Heard nothing about them?
27:11I'll let bygones be bygones, but just tell me.
27:20What good would they be to me knowing you wanted them?
27:22Well, I'm not in the habit of making enemies where I don't need to, Mr. Freeman.
27:31Fair enough.
27:31Freddie Musgrave.
27:39Have a drink.
27:41No thanks.
27:43I've just come in to tell you that this fella Freeman knows your back.
27:47He only mentioned you in passing, but I knew he was interested.
27:49He'd better come through.
27:56Some bastards gave him a going over.
27:59He'd been blabbing in the pub.
28:01I thought they might get something out of him.
28:02This is how he came back.
28:06I think he must have had a stroke.
28:11He'd been boasting that he knew all about this.
28:17Whatever he knows.
28:18About the jewels, or about the way Gallagher got Dunning.
28:22It's all lost now.
28:25He's like a baby again.
28:29Any idea where those fellas were looking for me, da?
28:33Freeman's lot, I'd say.
28:34He's a dangerous sod.
28:36Tell a lie sooner and do himself a favour.
28:41If you get anything out of your dark, honey, you tell it to Freeman, eh?
28:45Or to me.
28:46Nobody else, for your own sake now.
28:51Look after yourself.
28:53Aye.
28:53Tower.
28:56By the way, I hear your bells getting married.
28:59To the towers and all.
29:00What you might call ironic.
29:04Are you pleased for her?
29:21Cummings, housekeeper.
29:22Benedict, butler.
29:26Andrews, single lady's maid.
29:28Grant, my valet.
29:30Chambers, lady's maid.
29:33Chambers will be your maid, as a matter of fact.
29:34Isn't that right, Mrs. Cummings?
29:36That's what I had in mind, sir.
29:38There you are, Belle.
29:39Your maid.
29:40And, well, the rest of them are all...
29:44...house maids, I suppose.
29:47Come on, let's show you the rest.
29:51Back to work.
29:54There's too much use now.
29:57Grandmamma obtains all her reading from the circulating library.
30:00And father hardly used it, so...
30:02And you?
30:06Most of the books seem to be in Latin or Greek.
30:08And I didn't exactly excel at Latin or Greek.
30:11Or much else, to tell you the truth.
30:15It's a shame, don't you think?
30:22Meaning?
30:24I don't understand.
30:25Are you saying my education was lacking?
30:29No.
30:30I just meant it was rather quiet and...
30:33...unused and untouched.
30:35A bit sad, perhaps.
30:38Because you don't use it.
30:44Right.
30:45Come on.
30:46I've been saving this next room until last.
30:55I've always loved this room.
30:58It catches the sun in the morning.
31:02What do you think?
31:03It's lovely.
31:07This is our room.
31:10This will be our room for the rest of our life together.
31:14You will fill it with beauty.
31:19She walks in beauty like the night...
31:21...of cloudless climbs and starry skies.
31:23What is it, my dearest?
31:31The poem was lovely.
31:34Do you know more of it?
31:36Something I learnt at school.
31:39I don't know.
31:40Perhaps...
31:41All that's best
31:44Of dark and bright
31:46Meet in her aspect
31:49And her eyes
31:50He didn't want his own son.
31:53Once Gallagher had convinced himself
31:58That Marcel, by being born
32:00Had caused his wife's death
32:01He wanted nothing more to do with him
32:03Madness
32:04Well, it was my gain
32:07Marcel came to live with me
32:09And proved a great joy
32:10I can imagine
32:12I love my grandson
32:14I love my grandson very much, Miss Hewitt
32:15He has been my life's spring
32:17I'm so pleased he has chosen you
32:21I didn't feel happy with any of the others
32:24He is very precious
32:27I want you to promise me
32:29That you will always love and care for him
32:31Of course
32:32Of course I will
32:35In sickness and in health?
32:38I will
32:38I know I will
32:40Good
32:41That is very good to hear
32:43He adores you, you see
32:46How are you, Jones?
32:47Ah, here he is
32:49Has he told you
32:51That he will be going away
32:52For a week or two?
32:54No, he hasn't
32:55He looks after my business for me
32:57Land, rents, my other houses
33:00It takes up a great deal
33:02Of his time, I fear
33:03And means that he is away
33:04More often than either you
33:05Or I would like
33:06Will you find that very hard?
33:08No
33:09I love him
33:11And as long as he continues
33:14To love me
33:14You need have no fears
33:16On that account
33:17Believe me
33:18Freddie
33:25Hi
33:27How is it?
33:31Oh, I'll live
33:32For a bit
33:33Don't joke about it
33:37For God's sake
33:37I can't do without you
33:41Oh, come on, man
33:42Everyone can be done without
33:44There was never a good
33:45But there was a better
33:46I can do without Belle
33:49Because I've got to
33:50But I can't
33:53I can't
33:56Hey, hey, hey, hey
33:57Stop it
33:58No, I won't stop it
33:59I've got to say this
34:02It's got to be said
34:03What, us?
34:07If it's got to be said
34:08You'd better say it
34:09What?
34:10What I feel for you
34:11God knows
34:13I've got a feeling for you
34:14I can't explain
34:15Even to myself
34:17I had it the first day
34:20You took me in
34:20I was just a nipper
34:22Ten
34:23But I felt it then
34:24What were you?
34:27Too old
34:28Oh, maybe
34:30But it's not like
34:33You're my mother
34:34Or an older sister
34:35It's like
34:38We were meant to be together
34:41But we were born at the wrong time
34:44For each other
34:44Because I love you
34:47There's no other way of putting it
34:49Perhaps it doesn't need explaining
34:51I love you, Maggie
34:54I love you
34:57But don't cry now
35:00Already
35:05Well, I'm sorry, Bella
35:31I'm afraid, Freddie
35:32You'll have to take me home
35:33Aunt Maggie
35:35But the celebrations
35:37You don't want me causing an upheaval
35:39Like you had in breakfast, do you?
35:41Not at the towers
35:41I feel I must go home and rest
35:45Send me a letter
35:47I don't want to leave you like this
35:49Go on
35:50Go on and enjoy yourself
35:52Go on
35:55You won't come after
36:07No
36:08There'll be nobody else there
36:12No
36:14I see
36:16Belle
36:24That's right
36:31Be happy, that's all I ask
36:34Be happy
36:37Maggie
37:00Sorry, Freddie
37:03Get me a whiskey, will you?
37:10What about your pills?
37:12A whiskey
37:13A whiskey
37:13Why have I got an awful feeling about this?
37:22She's making a mistake and you know it
37:24You know where it should have been
37:27Oh, I know what you've been going through these past weeks
37:31But it wasn't to be
37:34Come here, Freddie
37:38I'm not going to pop off today or tomorrow
37:47I'll have good days and bad
37:48But I could go on for months
37:50Oh, don't Maggie
37:51Please
37:52Not today
37:52Well, we've got a fair said, lad
37:54And I want you to know
37:56I've left everything in order
37:57Everything I have is yours
38:00Money, businesses, the lot
38:03Belle will have money enough settled into that lot
38:07Mr. Musgrave
38:35Frederick Musgrave
38:37Aye
38:38What can I do for you?
38:40My name's Inspector Mitchum
38:41Of Newcastle Police
38:42A word in private
38:44All right
38:46We're investigating the death
38:48Of Mr. Robert Gallagher
38:50Oh, you are, are you?
38:52What's that got to do with me?
38:53Mr. Musgrave, please
38:55We know that you were just a lad when Gallagher died
38:57But we believe you may have important information
39:00It was a long time ago, Inspector
39:02I can't help you
39:04I'm afraid you have no choice
39:05Mr. Musgrave
39:06Ten o'clock tomorrow morning
39:09At Newcastle Police Station
39:10I advise you to be here
39:13What's going on?
39:25Who the hell's got it in for me?
39:27They know nothing
39:28They can't know anything
39:30Old Man Wheatley's the only one who might know something
39:33And you tell me he's lost his mind
39:35I reckon there's money behind this
39:37Someone with influence who can make things awkward for them
39:40Why else would they bother?
39:42Who?
39:44Oh, God knows
39:46I remember one thing
39:48You've got money as well
39:50Not riches
39:52But you're solidly based
39:54You've got influence too
39:56Thanks, Maggie
39:58I know
40:00They'll be in London now, I suppose
40:10Don't think about it
40:12Don't
40:16I don't bitch
40:17It's just
40:19No
40:21No
40:22You
40:23You
40:25You
40:25You
40:26You
40:27You
40:29You
40:29Be happy, that's all I ask.
40:59Be happy, that's all I ask.
41:29Be happy, that's all I ask.
41:41Be happy, that's all I ask.
41:43Nope.
41:45Nothing from Belle.
41:47Well she must be enjoying herself then.
41:50It isn't like her.
41:55Anyway.
41:57Good luck.
42:01To, see you this evening.
42:07They could have changed hotels I suppose.
42:11Here.
42:12Drink.
42:13They could be staying at Buckingham Palace.
42:17Wouldn't prevent the last putting a letter in the post.
42:19Well something's preventing her.
42:21Or someone.
42:22I'll go to Broderick's later, get you another bottle.
42:25Thank you, Mr. Musgrave.
42:28Thank you, Mr. Musgrave.
42:29Now Mr. Musgrave, I won't beat about the bush.
42:30Now, Mr. Musgrave, I won't beat about the bush.
42:44We've been informed that you were in Gallagher's house on the night he died.
42:50And we've been led to believe that you left the house with Gallagher's child in your arms.
42:55Is that true?
42:55And did you bring that child back over the river the same night?
43:01I'm not answering any of your questions, dear. Tell me what this is about.
43:05You know what it's about. It's about robbery. And it's about murder.
43:11Roderick Gallagher was viciously murdered.
43:13And a package of viable jewels went missing. I think you know what happened.
43:19Well, you think wrong. I had nothing to do with it. I was 12 years old, for God's sake.
43:24But you'd worked for Gallagher before, hadn't you? Running contraband, was it?
43:29And if you could steal a child, then who knows what else you could steal?
43:33Do you really think I killed him? I was four foot nothing. What, did he die of a bite on the ankle?
43:40This is no laughing matter, Mr. Musgrave.
43:42It's ridiculous, and you know it.
43:46I'll tell you what this is about.
43:47It's about an advertisement in the newspaper, and an anonymous letter.
43:52Somebody trying to put me in it.
43:54You think so?
43:55I know it.
43:58You weren't alone that night, were you?
44:02You had an accomplice, didn't you?
44:05Someone you've been involved with ever since.
44:09Maggie Hewitt.
44:10Isn't that right?
44:13I've got nothing to say.
44:16Then I'm afraid you leave me no option.
44:19Frederick Musgrave.
44:21I hereby arrest you on suspicion of the murder of Roderick Gallagher.
44:26Take him away.
44:32It's a month to see a solicitor.
44:36It's my right!
44:37Oh, Maggie.
44:57Maggie.
45:00Come in.
45:05Sweetie.
45:05There we are.
45:09I'm Freddie Musgrave's brother.
45:11I've come from Maggie Hewitt.
45:13She needs your help.
45:16Freddie's been arrested.
45:31She's in her bedroom, John.
45:33Right, Mar.
45:33She's been waiting for you.
45:35I'm dying.
45:39Did they tell you that?
45:41So I'll be able to clear him of one part of the accusation.
45:44I'll be dead before they touch me.
45:47What I don't want to happen
45:48is for him to be cleared by the authorities
45:50and then find himself hounded by another sword.
45:53I mean Freeman and his lot,
45:55who were just criminals in top hats.
45:56The jewels, you mean?
45:58Freddie doesn't know anything about them.
46:01And so we were wondering...
46:05Aye, I know about them.
46:07I wish to God I didn't.
46:09I reckon me da took them.
46:11Me and me ma were never certain,
46:13but last week he as good as told me he'd had them all along.
46:16Finding them's the problem, though.
46:21He's had a stroke.
46:23Dumb as a bell without a clangour.
46:26He couldn't even tell me if he wanted to.
46:30He doesn't even know who I am.
46:32You'll try and find them, though, won't you?
46:34Aye, I'll try.
46:35I'm not promising results, though.
46:39What'll you do?
46:41Tell the truth.
46:42Only the truth will save him now.
46:45How's your hand at writing?
46:46Not bad.
46:48Well, you'd better do it, then.
46:50After all, you're part of the story, too.
46:53Aye.
46:54Aye.
46:54I was part of it.
46:58I'll kill the lot of you!
47:00To whom it may concern,
47:05I wish to confess to the murder of Roderick Gallagher.
47:09Freddie Musgrave is innocent of the charges you have brought against him.
47:13On the night in question all those years ago,
47:16he was saving a life, not taking one.
47:18Oh, Freddie!
47:19I've been looking for you half the bloody night!
47:22What have you got there?
47:23A child!
47:25Dear God, Freddie!
47:26Whose is it?
47:27It's Gallagher's Ben!
47:28He wants to kill her!
47:30You know the one he was going to dump when I couldn't tell you?
47:34Well, he wants that dead.
47:36And me and I know I shouldn't wonder.
47:37I've got a boat further down.
47:39Quickly!
47:39Quickly!
47:43Give me that child!
47:45Gallagher was acting like a madman that night.
47:48He was desperate, almost insane.
47:54At first, I thought we could get away.
47:58I need you!
47:58But when he pulled a knife, I knew he intended to use it.
48:05When he went for a bell, I hit him with a cudgel.
48:08I had no choice.
48:09In the end, it was him or me.
48:14My God!
48:15You scared him!
48:16He'd have had us through.
48:18This money would have seen us rotting in prison for the rest of our lives.
48:24Come on.
48:25It's nearly the ebb.
48:29We left him lying face down in the tine.
48:32I kept quiet because I didn't want any more lives to be ruined on Gallagher's account.
48:37What is it?
48:43The bag's split when I fell, Miss.
48:45She knows a good thing when she sees it.
48:58She does.
49:00Yes, she does.
49:03We best be getting home, lad.
49:08Come on.
49:08This is the statement of a dying woman.
49:14God alone will be my judge.
49:18Maggie Hewitt.
49:19I am.
49:29I am.
49:30I am.
49:32I am.
49:33I am.
49:34I am.
