01:30I see what he got in the trunk.
01:40Nothing but rags, Mr. Torkadal.
01:50Send for the doctor, man.
01:51I'm quick about it.
01:53Anyone, Mr. Torkadal?
01:55Whatever you say.
01:56I see what he got in the trunk.
02:06You!
02:07Oi!
02:08Press your doctor!
02:10Come on!
02:11Quick about it!
02:12Now!
02:12Well, this, this is your lifeline, see?
02:21Retrace it.
02:23It's very long and quite straight.
02:24Is that good?
02:25It's very good indeed.
02:27And this, this is your love line, see?
02:30It's a long one too.
02:32And deep, very deep.
02:34Some fellow's going to be very lucky.
02:37Well, whoever he is, I hope he deserves you, Ada.
02:39Do you rest us now?
02:42Oh, no, thank you.
02:43I don't wish to have my fortune told.
02:45I was told my fortune a long time ago.
02:47I don't wish to have it done again.
02:49What's this?
02:50Richard's been telling fortune, sir.
02:52Has he?
02:53What does fortune have in store for you, Rick?
02:56Can't make it out at all, sir.
02:59I suppose the thing to do would be to take charge of things myself.
03:02Find some profession and work hard at it.
03:04Make my own way in life.
03:06Well, good for you.
03:07So, the question is, which profession will you choose?
03:11Do you know, sir, I have absolutely no idea.
03:14When I was a little boy, I thought I was going to sea.
03:16It's a little late already for the Navy, I fear.
03:19Is it the church or medicine?
03:24A surgeon, perhaps?
03:25A surgeon?
03:26Yeah, that's the thing, sir.
03:28A surgeon.
03:28Richard Carstone, MRCS.
03:32The medical profession?
03:33Yes, Mr. Skilpom.
03:35A surgeon, I thought.
03:36Perhaps.
03:37I was educated in the medical profession, you know,
03:39and practiced it.
03:41Well, for a while.
03:43But never having had any head for detail
03:45and a positive aversion to all that blood,
03:47but don't let me discourage you, my dear fellow.
03:52I suppose there is a rather lot of blood.
03:55Richard, I'm sure doctors get used to it.
03:58And the thought of helping people and making them well.
04:01Yes.
04:02Yes, of course.
04:04To be sure.
04:14He's been dead about three hours, I'd say.
04:16Poor fellow.
04:17Well, most certainly from an overdose of opium.
04:19Was anybody present related to him?
04:23I was his landlord.
04:26He told me once that was the Navy's relation he had.
04:29Nemo, he called himself.
04:30No one.
04:31Well, he is no one now.
04:35I knew him by sight.
04:36I prescribed opium for him once or twice.
04:38And no doubt he got a good deal more elsewhere.
04:41You knew him, you say.
04:44Do you think he did it on purpose?
04:46Impossible to say.
04:47You discovered the body, I think, sir.
04:49I did.
04:50And what was your business with Mr. Nemo?
04:52Nothing to concern you, sir.
04:54The man was a law writer.
04:59I am a lawyer, sir.
05:01This is Mr. Tugginghorn.
05:02Lawyer to Sir Lester Deadlock.
05:04That is immaterial.
05:06What is material is that here we have a dead man, apparently destitute, with no relations and no connections.
05:13We know nothing of who he was or where he has come from.
05:17What is to happen to the body?
05:21Well, sir, before anything else, there will have to be an inquest.
05:27Gentlemen of the jury, we are here to consider a man unknown.
05:33Nobody knows his real name.
05:35Nobody has been found who knows who he was.
05:38He left no papers behind which might identify him.
05:43If I may say so, he was always polite and well-spoken.
05:47I believe he was once in the army.
05:51Can you swear to that?
05:52No, I...
05:53Not evidence.
05:56Anyone else here have anything to say?
06:02You boy.
06:04Did you know him?
06:06I never know his name.
06:07But he's very good to me.
06:09Not evidence.
06:10To continue, he left no possessions of any worth.
06:14Nor any money except a few shillings which he owed in rent to his landlord.
06:19You've heard from several witnesses here that he was in the habit of taking large quantities of opium.
06:25And you've heard from the doctor here that it was a large dose of opium that he died of.
06:30There was no note that indicated suicidal intentions.
06:36The doctor has told us that in his professional opinion, the deceased was...
06:41What was the phrase you used, sir?
06:44It seemed to me that he was careless of his life, sir.
06:47Careless whether he lived or died, but not actively intent on self-harm.
06:51Ah, thank you, Mr. Woodcourt.
06:53Now, if you think you've heard any evidence to lead you to the conclusion that he committed suicide,
07:00you will come to that conclusion.
07:03If you think it is a case of accidental death, you will find a verdict accordingly.
07:09Do you need to retire?
07:15Accidental death, Your Honor.
07:16Accidental death.
07:17Thank you, gentlemen.
07:18You are discharged, and a pauper's burial for Mr. Nemo.
07:27Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
07:30Sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ.
07:36Yes, carry on.
07:48You, boy, come here.
07:53Here.
07:54I ain't done nothing, sir.
07:58What do you do here?
07:59What do you know of this man?
08:00What passed between you?
08:02Nothing, sir.
08:03I don't know nothing about him, except...
08:05Except what?
08:07Except that he's very good to me.
08:09And why should he be good to you?
08:10What good were you to him, hmm?
08:12I don't know, sir.
08:20Let the boy go, Mr. Tolkienholm.
08:23You're frightening him.
08:24I was merely inquiring what he knew of our dead friend there.
08:29It would seem he knows nothing.
08:38May I, Ojo?
08:39Thank you for your trouble.
08:40What impression did you form of Mr. Nemo, sir?
08:47I thought he might be a gentleman falling on hard times.
08:51A gentleman?
08:52An officer, perhaps.
08:54An officer, eh?
08:56An officer and a gentleman.
09:00Well, well, well.
09:03Thank you, Mr. Woodcourt.
09:10You're quite the housekeeper, now, Esther.
09:16Do the sums balance?
09:18Yes, sir, I think so.
09:19I'm sure they do.
09:23Wish I could feel so sure about young Rick there.
09:26He seemed to settle on doctoring without giving it a thought.
09:29Now he's making no serious efforts to get himself a place, and so on, to read and study.
09:35I feel sure when he finds a place, he'll do well.
09:37Well, in this wretched chancery business, it's bad.
09:41It's bad to live in the expectation of one day inheriting some great fortune that may never come to pass,
09:46and letting your life slip by in the process.
09:51He hasn't let very much of his life slip by.
09:55Not yet.
10:00No, no, you're right, of course.
10:01He's an excellent young fellow, of course he is.
10:04And he'll make us all proud of him.
10:06And he has a good heart.
10:08He's very patient with poor skin, Paul.
10:11I admire your energy and your dedication.
10:14Indeed, I do, Mr. Garcin, but for the life of me, I can't see why you propose to put yourself through it.
10:18Well, you know, the fellow must do something.
10:21When a fellow is one of the wards in Jandice, I should have thought there was no need to do anything
10:25but wait for one's rightful inheritance.
10:27But there, I know nothing of such matters.
10:30I don't know a great deal myself.
10:32We are a pair of innocents.
10:34But I rack my brains to understand my good friend Jandice.
10:39If he thinks that following a profession is such a good thing for a man, then why does he not follow one himself?
10:46Well, I don't know, Mr. Skilbar.
10:49And why does he take it upon himself to be the guardian of the wards in Jandice when he himself has an interest in the outcome of the case?
10:56Well, because he's a good man, I suppose.
11:01Kind and generous and all that.
11:03He's been kind to you, hasn't he?
11:06Oh, indeed he has.
11:07Indeed he has.
11:08Take no notice of my questions, my dear Carstone.
11:10I have a very weak understanding of these matters.
11:14A child.
11:15A child.
11:26Clearly home.
11:51There's a great deal of correspondence you have there.
11:54Yes, yes.
11:57Nothing in it, though.
11:58Nothing at all.
11:59Can I not glimpse one of Mr. Tolkien's long effusions?
12:03You see everything, my dear.
12:07He is the most tiresome of men.
12:11Oh, of course, sir.
12:13I beg your pardon.
12:14He sent you a message.
12:16Our stopping to change horses put it right over my head.
12:22What was it?
12:24His message.
12:26What was it?
12:27Ah, yes, yes, of course.
12:28Yes, let me see.
12:31In the matter of the right of way...
12:33No, that's fine.
12:37Ah, yes, here it is.
12:38I have something to mention in reference to the person who copied the affidavit that attracted
12:45her interest when I came to see you some weeks ago.
12:50I have seen the man.
12:55That's the message.
12:56I should like to walk a little.
13:03Walk?
13:03Is that wise, my dear?
13:04I should like to walk a little.
13:05Please stop the carriage.
13:06Zeeman.
13:13There.
13:15I should be VIDEO.
13:16They should leave.
13:17I have a power.
13:19I have to go.
13:19David for whatever.
13:24If.
13:25You want?
13:26I'm here.
13:26Wow.
13:27You want to get down.
13:28I'm here.
13:29I'm here.
13:29Wait.

13:30I have to go.
13:31I have to go.

18:53very good of you to take me on sir mr bayham badger is very good
18:57oh but hardly deserving of such a paragon of womanhood as mrs bayham badger
19:02you see how good he is to me oh but i forget myself this is mr woodcourt a young colleague
19:08who has expressed himself ready and willing to enlighten mr carston concerning
19:13the oh shall we say themia side of our profession
19:18for reasons best known to himself he's chosen to ply his trade amongst the lowest of the low
19:23not exclusively because i have to live as well
19:27but the poor need doctors just as the rich do i believe
19:30yes mr woodcourt so do i dear dear radical talk bad for the appetite bad for the digestion
19:41shall we go in my dear
19:43if you please celeste if you please my lady mr talkinghorn
19:49how do you do mr talkinghorn we expected you before you know
19:54i'm much obliged celeste i should have come sooner but i've been
19:58much engaged with matters in the dispute over the right of way
20:01between yourself and your neighbor boythorn
20:04and another matter concerning her ladyship
20:11but let it pass
20:15now as to mr boythorn mr boythorn is a man of very low character
20:20that may well be celeste i encountered him today on my way here and he was certainly
20:25intemperate
20:26but
20:27i formed the strong impression
20:29that this disagreement between you could be settled
20:32if you were prepared to consider a compromise
20:35mr talkinghorn
20:36my neighbor boythorn has no rights in this matter
20:39my rights must be asserted absolutely
20:41there will be no compromise
20:44no meeting halfway as you put it
20:46that way the floodgates are open to chaos disorder and anarchy
20:50you understand i speak to you now not as an individual but as head of the deadlock family
20:56you need say no more celeste i now have my instructions
20:59will you take a little supper
21:01by all means celeste i'm much obliged to you
21:04the girl will take you to your room
21:06celeste
21:10my lady
21:12captain swasser
21:17of the royal navy
21:18was mrs badger's fast husband
21:21a very distinguished officer indeed
21:23and the name of professor dingo
21:26my immediate predecessor in the nuptial couch
21:29is one of european reputation
21:32i was barely twenty
21:35when i was married to captain swasser of the royal navy
21:38and it was on the twelfth anniversary of my wedding day
21:41that i became the wife of professor dingo
21:44of european
21:45reputation
21:46extraordinary
21:47and when mr badger and i were married
21:50we were married on the same day of the year
21:53i'd become attached to the day you see
21:55so mrs badger has been married to three husbands
21:59has your friend mr carsten been interested in doctoring for a long time miss summerson
22:04no no
22:05i think it was rather a sudden decision
22:08he seems very eager unspirited
22:11and we need as many good men in the profession as we can get
22:14it isn't easy to get yourself established
22:17i struggle to make ends meet but
22:19i suppose mr carsten has private means
22:21he's one of the wards in jaundice
22:23ada is too
22:25miss claire that is
22:27they might both inherit a large fortune one day
22:31when it's all settled
22:32and you
22:34are you a ward in the case too or
22:36are you a ward of mr jaundice
22:38no
22:39no i'm no one of any account
22:41i don't think so
22:43you have opinions and you express them
22:45and i like that
22:47especially as you seem to agree with me
22:49please tell mr jaundice what captain swasser used to say about you my dear
22:54he used to say i was better than land ahead or a breeze astern
22:59so if you're not mr jaundice's ward what are you his niece perhaps
23:04i was engaged by mr jaundice as a companion to miss claire
23:09and now i am mr jaundice's housekeeper too
23:13really
23:14well you know i'd say that makes you a person of some consequence miss summerson
23:19no not at all
23:20i shall never be a person of consequence
23:24no
23:25you'll have to allow me to disagree with you then
23:28but a fine head you'll agree
23:32i would have been happy to have had such a head myself
23:36my angel
23:42i hope i don't disturb you
23:55no please don't get up mr talking horn do go with your supper
23:58i am obliged to your ladyship
24:00but i've had sufficient
24:01was there something your lady should wish to ask me
24:14you sent me a message regarding the handwriting i had inquired about
24:20it was like you to remember the circumstance i had quite forgotten it
24:25and you really took the trouble to find the writer of that
24:31affidavit was it
24:34yes it was an affidavit
24:36and i did take that trouble
24:38and you found him
24:41yes i found him
24:43and how did you find him
24:47i found him dead
24:49please go on
24:55mr talking horn
24:56there's little to tell
24:58i was directed to his lodging
25:00a miserable and squalid room
25:02and i found him dead
25:04he had taken an overdose
25:05of opium
25:06whether by design or accident
25:10impossible to be certain
25:12and what kind of man was he
25:18hard to say
25:19i would have said he was the lowest of the low
25:23the surgeon had a notion that he might once have been something better
25:28and what did they call him
25:32nobody knew his name
25:34he appeared to have had no family or friends
25:38he went by the name of nemo
25:42no one
25:45precisely
25:47and there was no clue to anything else
25:53no
25:54i see
25:56thank you mr talking horn
25:59lady deadlock
26:04i have been celeste's attorney for many years
26:09and my father was attorney to his father before him
