- 00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:13,897
- Please identify the accused.
- 2
- 00:01:13,949 --> 00:01:15,468
- Dr. William Chester Minor...
- 3
- 00:01:15,492 --> 00:01:20,612
- Captain Surgeon in the US Army,
- retired.
- 4
- 00:01:21,248 --> 00:01:24,241
- Dr. Minor has come to our shores
- seeking sanctuary.
- 5
- 00:01:24,293 --> 00:01:27,957
- In his home country of the
- United States, he was pursued...
- 6
- 00:01:28,005 --> 00:01:31,464
- relentlessly by a man pledged
- to torture and kill him.
- 7
- 00:01:39,391 --> 00:01:40,910
- On that fateful night...
- 8
- 00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:43,768
- of the 17th of February, the
- defendant woke with a start...
- 9
- 00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:48,557
- he knew right away that he had
- been hunted down and found...
- 10
- 00:01:48,609 --> 00:01:52,444
- that his pursuer, one Declan
- Reilly was indeed, in his rooms.
- 11
- 00:01:53,905 --> 00:01:58,741
- Dr. Minor reached for his
- service revolver and gave chase.
- 12
- 00:02:13,425 --> 00:02:15,792
- Fenian!
- 13
- 00:02:18,472 --> 00:02:20,450
- In the
- streets, he found a man running.
- 14
- 00:02:20,474 --> 00:02:22,887
- Help! Help!
- 15
- 00:02:29,524 --> 00:02:31,186
- Help!
- 16
- 00:02:55,467 --> 00:02:59,882
- Eliza, open the door! Eliza!
- 17
- 00:02:59,930 --> 00:03:01,671
- Eliza!
- 18
- 00:03:01,723 --> 00:03:03,660
- In the confusion of night...
- 19
- 00:03:03,684 --> 00:03:05,641
- he failed to discern the
- difference...
- 20
- 00:03:05,686 --> 00:03:09,600
- between his assailant and the
- innocent George Merrett.
- 21
- 00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:10,648
- Eliza.
- 22
- 00:03:18,907 --> 00:03:20,468
- Stop there!
- 23
- 00:03:20,492 --> 00:03:21,778
- This is not the Fenian!
- 24
- 00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:23,409
- No!
- 25
- 00:03:23,453 --> 00:03:25,240
- This is not the Fenian?
- 26
- 00:03:25,288 --> 00:03:26,404
- No!
- 27
- 00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:30,746
- I'm sorry! Sorry!
- 28
- 00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:34,208
- No!
- 29
- 00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:49,219
- My Lord, Dr. Minor shot the
- wrong man.
- 30
- 00:03:54,651 --> 00:03:59,191
- So... he didn't mean it.
- 31
- 00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:01,697
- My Lord, perhaps the court
- should simply release...
- 32
- 00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:03,699
- the good doctor with an
- apology...
- 33
- 00:04:03,744 --> 00:04:06,202
- for the misunderstanding that
- has occurred.
- 34
- 00:04:12,461 --> 00:04:14,874
- Your Honor!?
- 35
- 00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:22,548
- Declan... Declan Reilly
- is his name!
- 36
- 00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:26,385
- He has a brand on the left side
- of his face, he comes at night!
- 37
- 00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:31,224
- He comes with others, they haunt
- me, they come into my rooms!
- 38
- 00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:35,982
- I do not believe you, sir.
- This court does not believe you.
- 39
- 00:04:37,861 --> 00:04:41,946
- Quiet, please! Quiet in court!
- 40
- 00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:45,700
- Quiet, please! Quiet!
- 41
- 00:04:45,744 --> 00:04:49,613
- Quiet, quiet!
- 42
- 00:04:51,666 --> 00:04:55,205
- We, the members of her Majesty's
- jury...
- 43
- 00:04:55,253 --> 00:04:58,792
- find Dr. William Chester Minor
- not guilty...
- 44
- 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:01,753
- of the willful murder
- of George Merrett...
- 45
- 00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:05,427
- Quiet! Quiet!
- 46
- 00:05:05,472 --> 00:05:07,964
- ...on the grounds of insanity.
- 47
- 00:05:08,016 --> 00:05:09,848
- I am not insane, sir.
- 48
- 00:05:09,893 --> 00:05:10,893
- Quiet, please!
- 49
- 00:05:13,647 --> 00:05:17,857
- William Chester Minor, it is
- hereby this court's ruling...
- 50
- 00:05:17,901 --> 00:05:20,314
- that you shall be detained
- in safe custody...
- 51
- 00:05:20,362 --> 00:05:22,900
- at Broadmoor Asylum for the
- Criminally Insane...
- 52
- 00:05:22,948 --> 00:05:26,908
- until Her Majesty's pleasure
- be known.
- 53
- 00:05:29,579 --> 00:05:31,320
- Quiet, please!
- 54
- 00:05:42,634 --> 00:05:44,671
- Move, move!
- 55
- 00:05:52,269 --> 00:05:53,805
- Bloody bollocks hell!
- 56
- 00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:57,392
- Hey! Any more of that
- and you're off!
- 57
- 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,181
- Harold!
- 58
- 00:06:04,239 --> 00:06:05,696
- I must get back in, father.
- 59
- 00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:07,697
- In a tick, boy. Take a few
- breaths.
- 60
- 00:06:07,742 --> 00:06:09,449
- Mind the long run down the
- flank.
- 61
- 00:06:09,494 --> 00:06:11,406
- If you see the brute coming,
- stay downpitch...
- 62
- 00:06:11,454 --> 00:06:13,537
- and don't let him pull you in,
- all right?
- 63
- 00:06:13,582 --> 00:06:14,993
- And try for the clean catch.
- 64
- 00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:16,623
- Yes, sir. The game, sir.
- 65
- 00:06:16,668 --> 00:06:20,161
- Harold, about your use
- of words...
- 66
- 00:06:20,213 --> 00:06:21,454
- Yes, sir.
- 67
- 00:06:21,506 --> 00:06:23,793
- - Good. In you go, boy, go on.
- - Yes, sir!
- 68
- 00:06:33,059 --> 00:06:34,766
- I had a word with him.
- 69
- 00:06:34,811 --> 00:06:36,177
- Yes, I saw.
- 70
- 00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:39,643
- In the paper, a dreadful story,
- a shooting in Lambeth...
- 71
- 00:06:39,691 --> 00:06:41,808
- by an American, an army
- officer...
- 72
- 00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:45,069
- and that poor woman left behind
- with six children.
- 73
- 00:06:45,113 --> 00:06:47,400
- That I saw.
- 74
- 00:06:47,449 --> 00:06:49,566
- I don't know what I would do,
- James...
- 75
- 00:06:49,618 --> 00:06:51,154
- if you were taken like that.
- 76
- 00:06:53,455 --> 00:06:57,870
- Yes! That's it, that's it!
- 77
- 00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:03,246
- Yes! Yes!
- 78
- 00:07:03,298 --> 00:07:06,757
- Yes, yes! How's that, you
- ensanguined mule?
- 79
- 00:07:08,553 --> 00:07:10,840
- - That's it, you're off!
- - What's wrong with ensanguined?
- 80
- 00:07:10,889 --> 00:07:13,757
- - Get off!
- - Harold! Harold!
- 81
- 00:07:29,616 --> 00:07:33,155
- I wish to state that I possess
- a general lexical...
- 82
- 00:07:33,203 --> 00:07:35,570
- and structural knowledge of the
- languages...
- 83
- 00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:39,707
- and literature of the Aryan
- and Syro-Arabic classes.
- 84
- 00:07:39,751 --> 00:07:42,243
- I have recently submitted my
- paper on the declension...
- 85
- 00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:45,163
- of German verbs to the
- Philological Society.
- 86
- 00:07:45,215 --> 00:07:46,831
- Mr. Murray, I understand that...
- 87
- 00:07:46,883 --> 00:07:49,091
- you do not possess
- a university degree.
- 88
- 00:07:49,135 --> 00:07:52,128
- No, sir, no degree.
- 89
- 00:07:52,180 --> 00:07:54,422
- I am an autodidact, self-taught.
- 90
- 00:07:54,975 --> 00:07:59,265
- I am aware of the word.
- Schooling?
- 91
- 00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:01,895
- Left at 14 to earn a living.
- 92
- 00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:05,650
- Honestly, Freddie, it's a bit
- much.
- 93
- 00:08:05,694 --> 00:08:07,811
- A bit much, yes.
- 94
- 00:08:09,364 --> 00:08:12,152
- Of course, we, the august
- delegates...
- 95
- 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,611
- of the Oxford University
- Press...
- 96
- 00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:16,118
- have been attempting to make
- this dictionary...
- 97
- 00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:17,698
- for the last 20 years.
- 98
- 00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:20,740
- And despite the greatest efforts
- of a whole army of academics...
- 99
- 00:08:20,792 --> 00:08:23,159
- myself included, we are
- precisely nowhere.
- 100
- 00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:25,123
- Forgive me that is incorrect.
- 101
- 00:08:25,171 --> 00:08:27,504
- We are, in fact, going
- backwards.
- 102
- 00:08:27,549 --> 00:08:30,132
- The language is developing
- faster than our progress.
- 103
- 00:08:30,176 --> 00:08:33,669
- This great tongue of ours, which
- reaches out across the world...
- 104
- 00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:35,930
- has drawn its guns, sharpened
- its bayonets...
- 105
- 00:08:35,974 --> 00:08:38,466
- and declared that it will not
- be tamed.
- 106
- 00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:41,932
- And we, with our debates ad
- nauseam about the scope...
- 107
- 00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:44,688
- the mode, the purpose of these
- words have all...
- 108
- 00:08:44,733 --> 00:08:47,851
- but thrown ourselves down
- in supplication before it...
- 109
- 00:08:47,902 --> 00:08:51,191
- bathed in abject defeat.
- 110
- 00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:54,652
- At this moment, the endeavor
- is dead.
- 111
- 00:08:57,245 --> 00:08:59,988
- Is that too much, Max?
- 112
- 00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:04,120
- Gentlemen, I'm afraid nothing...
- 113
- 00:09:04,169 --> 00:09:06,161
- short of a panacea is called
- for.
- 114
- 00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:09,421
- I submit that the extraordinary,
- the unconventional...
- 115
- 00:09:09,466 --> 00:09:13,460
- Mr. Murray is the solution
- and our salvation.
- 116
- 00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:19,640
- Your account, though a bit
- dramatic, is true, Freddie.
- 117
- 00:09:19,684 --> 00:09:23,348
- But we need something more than
- impassioned advocacy.
- 118
- 00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:27,481
- Qualifications come to mind.
- Perhaps a Bachelor's Degree.
- 119
- 00:09:27,525 --> 00:09:28,936
- Qualifications, yes.
- 120
- 00:09:28,985 --> 00:09:33,400
- Well, I am fluent in Latin and
- Greek, of course.
- 121
- 00:09:33,448 --> 00:09:35,781
- Beyond those, I have an intimate
- knowledge...
- 122
- 00:09:35,825 --> 00:09:38,863
- of the Romance tongues, Italian,
- French, Spanish...
- 123
- 00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:42,246
- Catalan and to a lesser degree
- Portuguese, Vaudois...
- 124
- 00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:44,828
- Provencal and other dialects.
- 125
- 00:09:44,876 --> 00:09:48,790
- In the Teutonic branch, I am
- familiar with German, Dutch...
- 126
- 00:09:48,838 --> 00:09:50,204
- Danish and Flemish.
- 127
- 00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,794
- I have specialized in
- Anglo-Saxon and Moeso-Gothic...
- 128
- 00:09:52,842 --> 00:09:55,505
- and have prepared works
- for publication...
- 129
- 00:09:55,553 --> 00:09:56,714
- in both of these languages.
- 130
- 00:09:56,763 --> 00:09:59,676
- I also have a useful knowledge
- of Russian.
- 131
- 00:09:59,724 --> 00:10:03,092
- I have sufficient knowledge of
- Hebrew and Syriac to read...
- 132
- 00:10:03,144 --> 00:10:05,511
- at sight the Old Testament and
- the Peshito...
- 133
- 00:10:05,563 --> 00:10:08,556
- to a lesser degree, Aramaic,
- Arabic, Coptic...
- 134
- 00:10:08,608 --> 00:10:12,272
- and Phoenician to the point
- where it was left by Genesius.
- 135
- 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,607
- Forgive me rattling on.
- 136
- 00:10:14,656 --> 00:10:17,194
- I'm sure you have questions.
- 137
- 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:25,161
- Mr. Murray, a word comes
- to mind... clever.
- 138
- 00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:30,875
- Can you define it and tell us
- its history?
- 139
- 00:10:30,922 --> 00:10:34,916
- I'll make a fist of it, on the
- hoof, as it were.
- 140
- 00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:38,882
- Clever: adjective. Meaning -
- adroit, nimble, dextrous.
- 141
- 00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:41,923
- Probably from the Low German,
- Klover.
- 142
- 00:10:41,975 --> 00:10:44,092
- Or perhaps the Middle Dutch,
- Klever...
- 143
- 00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:50,232
- with a "k", meaning sprightly
- or smart.
- 144
- 00:10:50,275 --> 00:10:56,192
- Mr. Murray is also a master
- of the Scottish clog dance.
- 145
- 00:10:57,824 --> 00:11:00,362
- Forgive me for keeping
- it from you...
- 146
- 00:11:00,910 --> 00:11:03,368
- I scarcely believed in the
- chance myself.
- 147
- 00:11:03,413 --> 00:11:07,532
- It's all mine, Ada, the entire
- language.
- 148
- 00:11:11,629 --> 00:11:13,746
- I've never known how to resist
- it, your exuberance...
- 149
- 00:11:13,798 --> 00:11:17,087
- but it's so sudden.
- 150
- 00:11:17,135 --> 00:11:19,218
- And to abandon all this, the
- school, the constancy.
- 151
- 00:11:19,262 --> 00:11:23,347
- Is it truly what you wish
- for all of us?
- 152
- 00:11:23,391 --> 00:11:26,930
- Ada, I'm an untutored linen
- draper's boy from Teviotdale...
- 153
- 00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:30,142
- now, suddenly, with a real crack
- at it.
- 154
- 00:11:30,190 --> 00:11:31,959
- My entire life has been in
- preparation for this.
- 155
- 00:11:33,735 --> 00:11:35,692
- The call has finally come.
- 156
- 00:11:35,737 --> 00:11:38,445
- Whatever I've done,
- I've done with you.
- 157
- 00:11:38,489 --> 00:11:41,197
- I've never been able to
- without you.
- 158
- 00:11:41,242 --> 00:11:43,529
- Once again, lend yourself to me?
- 159
- 00:11:43,578 --> 00:11:47,242
- If I am to fashion a book,
- I'll need a spine.
- 160
- 00:11:49,167 --> 00:11:50,829
- Father!
- 161
- 00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:52,493
- Elsie, children.
- 162
- 00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:56,334
- Are we going somewhere?
- 163
- 00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:59,967
- To Oxford, your father
- is the editor...
- 164
- 00:12:00,011 --> 00:12:02,503
- of the New English Dictionary
- on Historical Principles.
- 165
- 00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:03,762
- What is that?
- 166
- 00:12:03,806 --> 00:12:06,139
- It's a very big book with a lot
- of words in it.
- 167
- 00:12:06,184 --> 00:12:07,661
- All the words of the English
- language.
- 168
- 00:12:07,685 --> 00:12:09,551
- Like Doctor Johnson's
- Dictionary?
- 169
- 00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:14,315
- Yes, but his book comprised of
- only a mere handful of words.
- 170
- 00:12:14,734 --> 00:12:20,947
- I am charged with identifying
- and defining every last word!
- 171
- 00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:22,322
- Will "happy" be in there,
- Father?
- 172
- 00:12:22,367 --> 00:12:24,029
- Aye, "happy" will be there,
- Elsie.
- 173
- 00:12:24,077 --> 00:12:28,913
- My dictionary will need as many
- volumes as these...
- 174
- 00:12:28,957 --> 00:12:31,119
- to house the entire language.
- 175
- 00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:32,328
- Will "sad"?
- 176
- 00:12:32,377 --> 00:12:33,788
- "Sad" will be there, yes, aye.
- 177
- 00:12:33,836 --> 00:12:35,543
- What about "big", will "big"
- be in there?
- 178
- 00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:36,749
- Yeah, aye, and "small" too.
- 179
- 00:12:36,798 --> 00:12:38,835
- There isn't a word you can
- think of that...
- 180
- 00:12:38,883 --> 00:12:40,419
- will not be in this very
- big book.
- 181
- 00:12:40,468 --> 00:12:42,004
- - Father?
- - Yes, Oswyn.
- 182
- 00:12:42,053 --> 00:12:44,261
- Will "Oswyn" be in there?
- 183
- 00:12:44,305 --> 00:12:46,137
- Uh... probably...
- 184
- 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,434
- Never play with books,
- all right? That's wrong.
- 185
- 00:13:07,036 --> 00:13:12,907
- BRAYN Wednesday, April
- 17, 1872. Inmate number 742.
- 186
- 00:13:12,959 --> 00:13:14,916
- 742, admittance.
- 187
- 00:13:14,961 --> 00:13:16,998
- BRAYN
- Minor, William Chester...
- 188
- 00:13:17,046 --> 00:13:20,460
- American, 48 years old...
- 189
- 00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:25,674
- surgeon, a captain in the
- United States Army.
- 190
- 00:13:25,722 --> 00:13:30,558
- No known religion, classified
- a danger to others.
- 191
- 00:13:32,603 --> 00:13:34,310
- Assigned to Block Two.
- 192
- 00:13:46,034 --> 00:13:51,029
- The prisoner is in a rage,
- spitting dozens of times...
- 193
- 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,575
- by his own account trying not
- to swallow poison-coated...
- 194
- 00:13:55,626 --> 00:14:01,463
- cold, iron bars that have been
- pressed against his teeth.
- 195
- 00:14:11,267 --> 00:14:12,758
- In you go.
- 196
- 00:14:24,072 --> 00:14:26,439
- BRAYN March 17th...
- 197
- 00:14:26,491 --> 00:14:29,859
- three days now the prisoner
- has gone without sleep.
- 198
- 00:14:40,338 --> 00:14:44,002
- Constantly leaping from his bed
- to search...
- 199
- 00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:46,292
- underneath it in sheer terror.
- 200
- 00:14:46,344 --> 00:14:51,931
- Repeatedly claiming to look for
- those coming for him at night.
- 201
- 00:14:56,854 --> 00:15:00,473
- Doctor Richard Brayn, alienist
- superintendent...
- 202
- 00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:04,735
- Broadmoor Asylum.
- 203
- 00:15:11,327 --> 00:15:13,694
- There it was, staring me
- in the face...
- 204
- 00:15:13,746 --> 00:15:17,114
- the Home Secretary wouldn't be
- bamboozled into accepting.
- 205
- 00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:18,282
- Can you believe it?
- 206
- 00:15:18,334 --> 00:15:20,747
- Like Orthrus, a two-headed dog
- of a line.
- 207
- 00:15:20,795 --> 00:15:24,539
- Written... in the Athenaeum...
- in a single sentence!
- 208
- 00:15:24,590 --> 00:15:28,049
- Your book, Mr. Murray, will need
- to establish strict rules...
- 209
- 00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:29,926
- banning such offenses.
- 210
- 00:15:29,971 --> 00:15:31,928
- Beyond which it should fix all
- spellings...
- 211
- 00:15:31,973 --> 00:15:34,465
- lay down proper
- pronunciations...
- 212
- 00:15:34,517 --> 00:15:36,850
- and firm up correctness
- of speech.
- 213
- 00:15:36,894 --> 00:15:38,414
- We've been here before, Max.
- 214
- 00:15:38,438 --> 00:15:40,851
- What of all the bamboozles, the
- wouldn'ts, the shouldn'ts...
- 215
- 00:15:40,898 --> 00:15:43,140
- and the couldn'ts to come
- in the future?
- 216
- 00:15:43,192 --> 00:15:45,559
- The tongue is at its purest
- peak.
- 217
- 00:15:45,611 --> 00:15:49,480
- Sufficiently refined that it can
- henceforward only deteriorate.
- 218
- 00:15:49,532 --> 00:15:52,240
- It is up to us to fix it once
- and for all.
- 219
- 00:15:52,285 --> 00:15:55,244
- Alterations to it can then be
- permitted or not.
- 220
- 00:15:57,290 --> 00:16:00,704
- You, Max? Me? No.
- 221
- 00:16:00,751 --> 00:16:03,869
- All words are valid in the
- language.
- 222
- 00:16:03,921 --> 00:16:06,584
- Ancient or new, obsolete or
- robust...
- 223
- 00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:07,998
- foreign-born or home-grown.
- 224
- 00:16:08,050 --> 00:16:11,509
- The book must inventory every
- word, every nuance...
- 225
- 00:16:11,554 --> 00:16:14,968
- every twist of etymology and
- every possible illustrated...
- 226
- 00:16:15,016 --> 00:16:17,133
- citation from every English
- author.
- 227
- 00:16:17,185 --> 00:16:20,144
- All of it or nothing at all.
- 228
- 00:16:20,188 --> 00:16:21,895
- That would mean reading
- everything.
- 229
- 00:16:21,939 --> 00:16:24,272
- Quoting everything that showed
- anything to do...
- 230
- 00:16:24,317 --> 00:16:26,809
- with the history of the words
- that are to be cited.
- 231
- 00:16:26,861 --> 00:16:29,569
- The task is gigantic,
- monumental.
- 232
- 00:16:29,614 --> 00:16:30,821
- And impossible.
- 233
- 00:16:32,575 --> 00:16:34,862
- There is a way.
- 234
- 00:16:34,911 --> 00:16:37,073
- A task that might take one man
- a hundred lifetimes...
- 235
- 00:16:37,121 --> 00:16:39,704
- could take a hundred men
- just one.
- 236
- 00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:43,208
- Volunteers. We have tried it
- before, James, and failed.
- 237
- 00:16:43,252 --> 00:16:46,711
- I'm afraid there aren't enough
- academics in the land.
- 238
- 00:16:46,756 --> 00:16:48,418
- How many did you enlist?
- 239
- 00:16:48,466 --> 00:16:49,832
- Eighty, perhaps ninety.
- 240
- 00:16:49,884 --> 00:16:52,046
- With a thousand, you could
- accomplish it...
- 241
- 00:16:52,094 --> 00:16:53,630
- in just a few years.
- 242
- 00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:57,047
- Where do you propose finding
- a thousand men?
- 243
- 00:16:57,099 --> 00:17:00,012
- Everywhere English is celebrated
- and spoken.
- 244
- 00:17:00,061 --> 00:17:03,896
- In every book shop, school,
- workplace or home.
- 245
- 00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:06,648
- Do you mean ordinary people,
- amateurs?
- 246
- 00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:09,275
- English speaking ones, aye.
- 247
- 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,856
- We will ask them to read...
- 248
- 00:17:10,905 --> 00:17:14,694
- in search of the words that we
- want, and get them to write...
- 249
- 00:17:14,742 --> 00:17:19,783
- the word on a slip of paper,
- along with a quotation...
- 250
- 00:17:19,830 --> 00:17:23,619
- that they have found
- illustrating the very word.
- 251
- 00:17:23,668 --> 00:17:26,035
- And then? Post the slip tass.
- 252
- 00:17:26,087 --> 00:17:29,296
- An entire army covering the
- breadth of the Empire...
- 253
- 00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:31,457
- and beyond, drawing a sweep
- net...
- 254
- 00:17:31,509 --> 00:17:33,592
- over the whole of English
- literature...
- 255
- 00:17:33,636 --> 00:17:36,049
- listing the entirety of their
- own language.
- 256
- 00:17:36,097 --> 00:17:37,759
- A dictionary by democracy.
- 257
- 00:17:37,807 --> 00:17:41,096
- Still edited by us, learned men.
- 258
- 00:17:41,143 --> 00:17:43,476
- And with this system,
- Mr. Murray...
- 259
- 00:17:43,521 --> 00:17:47,014
- how long do you estimate
- to finishing your task?
- 260
- 00:17:47,066 --> 00:17:49,228
- Five years, seven at most.
- 261
- 00:17:49,277 --> 00:17:52,065
- All words... and their complete
- histories?
- 262
- 00:17:52,113 --> 00:17:54,446
- Every last one.
- 263
- 00:17:54,490 --> 00:17:58,029
- Dear England...
- 264
- 00:17:58,077 --> 00:18:00,990
- We are about to embark on the
- greatest adventure...
- 265
- 00:18:01,038 --> 00:18:02,654
- our language has ever known.
- 266
- 00:18:02,707 --> 00:18:04,790
- Let us begin at aardvark...
- 267
- 00:18:04,834 --> 00:18:07,668
- and never stop 'til we reach
- Zymurgy.
- 268
- 00:18:07,712 --> 00:18:09,169
- Zymurgy?
- 269
- 00:18:09,213 --> 00:18:12,126
- I would wager that that is the
- last word in the language.
- 270
- 00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:13,836
- Surely there is nothing
- after Z-Y.
- 271
- 00:18:13,884 --> 00:18:15,216
- Meaning?
- 272
- 00:18:21,475 --> 00:18:23,717
- There's a cloying
- eagerness to him.
- 273
- 00:18:23,769 --> 00:18:24,850
- Yes.
- 274
- 00:18:24,895 --> 00:18:26,227
- And that grating Scottish
- lilt...
- 275
- 00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:28,764
- why do you suppose he doesn't
- try to conceal it...
- 276
- 00:18:28,816 --> 00:18:30,352
- for the sake of our eardrums.
- 277
- 00:18:30,401 --> 00:18:36,068
- His ideas are quite radical,
- just what we need.
- 278
- 00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:37,384
- You don't think he's a
- follower...
- 279
- 00:18:37,408 --> 00:18:39,741
- of that awful German-born
- pamphleteer, do you?
- 280
- 00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:42,072
- No, no, no, my dear.
- 281
- 00:18:42,121 --> 00:18:46,582
- This man is positively baying to
- be part of this little world...
- 282
- 00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:51,087
- of ours, already quite seduced,
- I would say.
- 283
- 00:19:24,288 --> 00:19:26,450
- I'm sorry, Ada.
- 284
- 00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:31,664
- What for?
- 285
- 00:19:31,712 --> 00:19:34,295
- For this disruption,
- for breaking up the home...
- 286
- 00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:35,626
- for dragging you here.
- 287
- 00:19:35,675 --> 00:19:38,713
- No doubts, James, no jitters.
- 288
- 00:19:38,761 --> 00:19:40,798
- I need this promise from you.
- 289
- 00:19:40,846 --> 00:19:42,712
- Now that it's started,
- let's see it through...
- 290
- 00:19:42,765 --> 00:19:45,348
- steadfast and resolved.
- 291
- 00:19:57,488 --> 00:20:00,231
- MURRAY An appeal to
- the English-reading public...
- 292
- 00:20:00,282 --> 00:20:03,400
- of Great Britain, America
- and the British colonies...
- 293
- 00:20:03,452 --> 00:20:07,617
- to read books and make extracts
- for a new dictionary...
- 294
- 00:20:07,665 --> 00:20:09,748
- worthy of the English language.
- 295
- 00:20:09,792 --> 00:20:13,536
- We live today knowing the
- origins of the Earth...
- 296
- 00:20:13,587 --> 00:20:16,079
- of man and all the animals.
- 297
- 00:20:16,132 --> 00:20:19,625
- We know how hot boiling water
- is, how long a yard.
- 298
- 00:20:19,677 --> 00:20:23,546
- Our ships' masters know the
- precise measurements...
- 299
- 00:20:23,597 --> 00:20:25,213
- of latitude and longitude.
- 300
- 00:20:25,266 --> 00:20:28,976
- Yet we have neither chart nor
- compass to guide us...
- 301
- 00:20:29,019 --> 00:20:31,261
- through the wide sea of words.
- 302
- 00:20:31,313 --> 00:20:34,021
- The time has come to accord
- this great language of ours...
- 303
- 00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:37,559
- the same dignity and respect as
- the other standards...
- 304
- 00:20:37,611 --> 00:20:41,696
- defined by science. Fly your
- words to Oxford.
- 305
- 00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:45,701
- Let us be connected, all of us
- in this great endeavour...
- 306
- 00:20:45,745 --> 00:20:48,613
- through the marvelous maze
- of our inter-netted post.
- 307
- 00:20:48,664 --> 00:20:50,326
- What are you doing, Father?
- 308
- 00:20:50,374 --> 00:20:53,037
- Mr. Bradley and I are putting
- a big hole in the ground.
- 309
- 00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:55,077
- - But what for?
- - For a scriptorium.
- 310
- 00:20:55,129 --> 00:20:57,837
- That's a room like in medieval
- monasteries...
- 311
- 00:20:57,882 --> 00:21:00,590
- where monastic scribes used
- to copy manuscripts.
- 312
- 00:21:00,634 --> 00:21:04,048
- Look, look at that, look what
- I found! Treasure!
- 313
- 00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:06,383
- Will you clean that for me?
- 314
- 00:21:06,432 --> 00:21:07,843
- Yes, Father.
- 315
- 00:21:07,892 --> 00:21:09,349
- Aye.
- 316
- 00:21:19,904 --> 00:21:21,440
- MURRAY
- It is a long run...
- 317
- 00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:23,526
- but we can bear the language
- aloft.
- 318
- 00:21:24,992 --> 00:21:26,278
- Mr. Bradley.
- 319
- 00:21:26,327 --> 00:21:28,444
- MURRAY
- With you, our volunteers...
- 320
- 00:21:28,496 --> 00:21:29,987
- as rungs in the ladder...
- 321
- 00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:32,281
- we may elevate English even
- unto the gates of heaven.
- 322
- 00:21:49,183 --> 00:21:51,800
- - Come on.
- - Get off me!
- 323
- 00:21:51,852 --> 00:21:53,639
- Easy.
- 324
- 00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:14,244
- Get him off of me! Who did
- that to me?
- 325
- 00:22:17,670 --> 00:22:20,128
- Stand clear! Get out of the way!
- 326
- 00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:21,708
- Go on, take me!
- 327
- 00:22:30,850 --> 00:22:35,891
- Get out of the way, get back!
- Get back, now, now, move, move!
- 328
- 00:22:43,612 --> 00:22:45,148
- Look at me, look at me!
- 329
- 00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:47,189
- Son, son, listen to me,
- listen to me.
- 330
- 00:22:47,241 --> 00:22:49,198
- We're gonna lift the gate
- just a bit...
- 331
- 00:22:49,243 --> 00:22:51,030
- let's see if you can pull
- your leg through.
- 332
- 00:22:51,078 --> 00:22:52,319
- I-I don't know, sir.
- 333
- 00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:53,765
- We've gotta do it, son,
- we gotta do it.
- 334
- 00:22:53,789 --> 00:22:55,621
- Will you let us try?
- Hey, hey?
- 335
- 00:22:55,666 --> 00:22:56,952
- Good boy, good boy...
- 336
- 00:22:57,001 --> 00:22:59,789
- after three, one, two...
- 337
- 00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:16,427
- Out of my way! Out of my way!
- 338
- 00:23:16,478 --> 00:23:19,892
- How far is the nearest
- blacksmith?
- 339
- 00:23:22,943 --> 00:23:24,400
- Crowthorne.
- 340
- 00:23:24,445 --> 00:23:27,859
- The nearest surgeon?
- 341
- 00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:30,866
- Crowthorne Village, it's half
- an hour, there and back.
- 342
- 00:23:44,298 --> 00:23:49,464
- I want a sharp knife and a saw.
- 343
- 00:23:49,511 --> 00:23:51,218
- Get it up!
- 344
- 00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:53,004
- Agh!
- 345
- 00:23:54,683 --> 00:23:59,678
- In a half hour's time, this man
- will have bled to death.
- 346
- 00:23:59,730 --> 00:24:01,642
- - Coleman.
- - Yes, sir.
- 347
- 00:24:01,690 --> 00:24:05,434
- Get a sharp knife and a saw...
- quickly!
- 348
- 00:24:20,751 --> 00:24:24,415
- Now you listen to me, doctor,
- I know who you are...
- 349
- 00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:25,874
- and how you got in here...
- 350
- 00:24:25,923 --> 00:24:28,040
- and believe me when I say
- that none of your wealth...
- 351
- 00:24:28,092 --> 00:24:30,379
- will do you any good if you
- try anything.
- 352
- 00:25:01,750 --> 00:25:04,083
- Your saw.
- 353
- 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,298
- You wrap the wound in boiled
- rags.
- 354
- 00:25:14,346 --> 00:25:18,260
- Keep the belt tight and get him
- to a surgeon.
- 355
- 00:25:18,308 --> 00:25:20,891
- Your ligation held,
- hemorrhaging was low...
- 356
- 00:25:20,936 --> 00:25:23,804
- his condition is delicate,
- but he is alive.
- 357
- 00:25:24,481 --> 00:25:26,939
- We are all extremely grateful
- to you, Dr. Minor.
- 358
- 00:25:26,984 --> 00:25:28,941
- Was the wound swabbed, dressed
- in phenol?
- 359
- 00:25:28,986 --> 00:25:31,899
- Luckily, our local surgeon is
- well versed...
- 360
- 00:25:31,947 --> 00:25:34,655
- in Lister's latest antisepsis
- and asepsis methods...
- 361
- 00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:36,111
- as I see are you.
- 362
- 00:25:41,749 --> 00:25:43,786
- Rush's Tranquilizer.
- 363
- 00:25:43,834 --> 00:25:46,622
- Dr. Rush, he was an American
- Army surgeon for a time...
- 364
- 00:25:46,670 --> 00:25:48,161
- as well, I believe.
- 365
- 00:25:48,213 --> 00:25:50,275
- Dr. Rush believed that if the
- patient could be rendered...
- 366
- 00:25:50,299 --> 00:25:52,837
- entirely immobile during the
- convulsions of mania...
- 367
- 00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:55,548
- then madness itself would be
- countered.
- 368
- 00:25:55,596 --> 00:25:57,258
- Barbaric in its simplicity.
- 369
- 00:25:59,349 --> 00:26:02,092
- It's a relic, really, from the
- dark days of my profession...
- 370
- 00:26:02,144 --> 00:26:06,809
- but it still has its uses when
- combined with modern techniques.
- 371
- 00:26:06,857 --> 00:26:09,099
- You think I'm insane.
- 372
- 00:26:09,151 --> 00:26:12,394
- Are we not all, to some extent?
- 373
- 00:26:12,446 --> 00:26:17,487
- You do experience yourself as
- being under threat, do you not?
- 374
- 00:26:17,534 --> 00:26:22,825
- A man... is coming for me.
- 375
- 00:26:22,873 --> 00:26:26,082
- From my confinement, I will not
- see him come.
- 376
- 00:26:26,126 --> 00:26:31,246
- So if you will permit me,
- I would ask your vigilance.
- 377
- 00:26:31,298 --> 00:26:35,087
- And that you have your men
- alert me.
- 378
- 00:26:36,678 --> 00:26:39,045
- He is easily identifiable.
- 379
- 00:26:39,098 --> 00:26:45,811
- He has a brand mark on the left
- side of his face.
- 380
- 00:26:45,854 --> 00:26:49,222
- Dr. Minor, rest assured we will
- do everything...
- 381
- 00:26:49,274 --> 00:26:52,233
- in our power to ensure your
- safety.
- 382
- 00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:56,021
- Is there anything else I can
- help you with?
- 383
- 00:26:56,073 --> 00:26:59,737
- I have a pension from the United
- States Army.
- 384
- 00:26:59,785 --> 00:27:03,028
- I wish that the greater portion
- of it...
- 385
- 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,120
- be given to Mrs. Merrett
- in support of her children.
- 386
- 00:27:07,167 --> 00:27:09,875
- Well, I'm sure that can be
- arranged.
- 387
- 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,039
- Sir? I'd like to take care
- of that personally.
- 388
- 00:27:14,091 --> 00:27:16,925
- There you are, Dr. Minor.
- 389
- 00:27:16,969 --> 00:27:18,801
- You have our very best man
- on the case.
- 390
- 00:27:42,578 --> 00:27:44,786
- There are children
- sleeping here.
- 391
- 00:27:46,623 --> 00:27:48,740
- Only a letter to deliver, ma'am.
- 392
- 00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:50,954
- Bit late for the post,
- ain't it?
- 393
- 00:27:51,003 --> 00:27:52,335
- You lot are terrible liars.
- 394
- 00:27:52,379 --> 00:27:55,872
- I'm not from the papers, or the
- police, I'm not.
- 395
- 00:27:55,924 --> 00:27:57,586
- Not here to bother you at all.
- 396
- 00:27:57,634 --> 00:28:01,218
- I needed to make sure you got
- it right personal.
- 397
- 00:28:01,263 --> 00:28:03,550
- I'll just slide it under the
- door.
- 398
- 00:28:06,768 --> 00:28:09,977
- I'm not from the papers.
- 399
- 00:28:10,022 --> 00:28:11,263
- Who are you, then?
- 400
- 00:28:11,315 --> 00:28:15,901
- I'm Muncie, ma'am, I'm hoping
- to help.
- 401
- 00:28:19,198 --> 00:28:20,609
- Is this from you?
- 402
- 00:28:20,657 --> 00:28:24,150
- No, ma'am, the letter will
- explain.
- 403
- 00:28:24,203 --> 00:28:26,115
- Who's it from?
- 404
- 00:28:44,306 --> 00:28:46,343
- She wouldn't consider it.
- 405
- 00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:49,099
- Thank you, Mr. Muncie.
- 406
- 00:28:59,529 --> 00:29:01,521
- Look again, we must have it.
- 407
- 00:29:01,573 --> 00:29:03,565
- I have looked and we do not...
- 408
- 00:29:03,617 --> 00:29:06,451
- I have quotes for it in the
- 14th, the 15th...
- 409
- 00:29:06,495 --> 00:29:10,114
- the 16th and the 19th, but not
- in the 17th and 18th centuries.
- 410
- 00:29:10,165 --> 00:29:11,451
- How is that possible?
- 411
- 00:29:11,500 --> 00:29:13,617
- How can Ruskin write "The
- sculpture is approved...
- 412
- 00:29:13,669 --> 00:29:15,877
- "and set off by the color"
- in 1849?
- 413
- 00:29:15,921 --> 00:29:19,790
- How can I, now use it everyday,
- if you are telling me...
- 414
- 00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:21,503
- that it vanished in the 17th
- Century.
- 415
- 00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:23,087
- Where did it go for 200 years?
- 416
- 00:29:23,136 --> 00:29:25,549
- I am not saying that it
- vanished, sir.
- 417
- 00:29:25,597 --> 00:29:28,635
- I am simply saying that we do
- not have proof.
- 418
- 00:29:28,684 --> 00:29:30,300
- Look again, Charles.
- 419
- 00:29:30,352 --> 00:29:32,247
- And where exactly would you like
- me to look, sir...
- 420
- 00:29:32,271 --> 00:29:36,436
- in the birthday cards, perhaps
- or the medicinal instructions...
- 421
- 00:29:36,483 --> 00:29:37,769
- or the How-to manuals...
- 422
- 00:29:37,818 --> 00:29:40,185
- or perhaps the Guy Fawkes
- day messages?
- 423
- 00:29:40,237 --> 00:29:42,900
- And we're only just dealing
- with "A" here.
- 424
- 00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:46,532
- What of B, C, D, E, F,
- G, H, I, J, K?
- 425
- 00:29:46,576 --> 00:29:48,238
- It's bloody hopeless, sir!
- 426
- 00:29:48,287 --> 00:29:53,328
- Mr. Hall! Please try to maintain
- a semblance of decorum.
- 427
- 00:29:53,375 --> 00:29:56,413
- Henry, what exactly is the
- problem here?
- 428
- 00:29:56,461 --> 00:30:00,125
- It's "Approve", sir. There is a
- missing link.
- 429
- 00:30:00,173 --> 00:30:01,630
- To say nothing of "Art".
- 430
- 00:30:01,675 --> 00:30:05,294
- We're missing "Approve" in the
- 17th and 18th centuries.
- 431
- 00:30:05,345 --> 00:30:07,007
- We can't find a single trace
- of it.
- 432
- 00:30:07,055 --> 00:30:09,138
- Look at Paradise Lost.
- 433
- 00:30:09,182 --> 00:30:10,785
- The language took a crucial turn
- with Milton.
- 434
- 00:30:10,809 --> 00:30:12,721
- He was somewhat of a purist...
- 435
- 00:30:12,769 --> 00:30:15,728
- re-affirming the meaning of his
- English.
- 436
- 00:30:15,772 --> 00:30:17,166
- The key would be in there.
- Try that.
- 437
- 00:30:17,190 --> 00:30:19,682
- Perhaps we can skip the 17th
- century, sir.
- 438
- 00:30:19,735 --> 00:30:23,479
- We have its birth in 1380 with
- John Wyclif.
- 439
- 00:30:23,530 --> 00:30:26,238
- "Christ confirmed his law and
- with his death approved it."
- 440
- 00:30:26,283 --> 00:30:28,149
- And we have Ruskin here
- in this century.
- 441
- 00:30:28,201 --> 00:30:31,160
- Mr. Bradley, we must have every
- step.
- 442
- 00:30:31,204 --> 00:30:33,696
- This is not about the centuries.
- 443
- 00:30:33,749 --> 00:30:37,038
- This is about recording the
- evolution of meaning.
- 444
- 00:30:37,085 --> 00:30:39,543
- Go to Milton, it's right here.
- 445
- 00:30:39,588 --> 00:30:42,126
- Yes, sir.
- 446
- 00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:52,844
- Mr. Bradley.
- 447
- 00:30:52,893 --> 00:30:54,225
- Charles.
- 448
- 00:30:59,900 --> 00:31:02,108
- Accepted.
- 449
- 00:31:16,124 --> 00:31:18,241
- Razor! Bring me my razor!
- 450
- 00:31:18,293 --> 00:31:21,786
- Sir Richard! Calm down!
- 451
- 00:31:21,838 --> 00:31:23,750
- The razor, bring me my razor!
- 452
- 00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:25,256
- Lads, bloody well hurry up!
- 453
- 00:31:26,635 --> 00:31:28,843
- Bring it, bring me the razor!
- 454
- 00:31:30,263 --> 00:31:33,301
- - Bring me the razor!
- - Come on, hurry up!
- 455
- 00:31:35,394 --> 00:31:38,683
- Father! Father! Father! Father!
- 456
- 00:31:38,730 --> 00:31:42,144
- Father! Father! Father!
- 457
- 00:31:44,194 --> 00:31:47,062
- This man, Declan
- Reilly, is a deserter.
- 458
- 00:31:54,204 --> 00:31:56,491
- Mark him for what he is.
- 459
- 00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:24,641
- Agh!
- 460
- 00:32:26,403 --> 00:32:28,770
- Agh!
- 461
- 00:32:38,874 --> 00:32:41,537
- Zinc... I'll need sheets
- of zinc...
- 462
- 00:32:41,585 --> 00:32:44,248
- he must have come from below.
- 463
- 00:32:44,296 --> 00:32:47,755
- And water, in a bowl, by the
- threshold.
- 464
- 00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:50,416
- This, the demon will not pass.
- 465
- 00:32:50,469 --> 00:32:51,926
- What's on the other side,
- doctor?
- 466
- 00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:54,758
- The night, he wants to take me
- there.
- 467
- 00:32:54,806 --> 00:32:58,925
- With his blind eyes, he can only
- see me in the dark.
- 468
- 00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:01,685
- How would you feel if we
- brightened the light?
- 469
- 00:33:01,730 --> 00:33:02,730
- As treatment?
- 470
- 00:33:02,731 --> 00:33:04,188
- I don't need treatment!
- 471
- 00:33:04,232 --> 00:33:06,394
- Not as treatment! As an
- experiment!
- 472
- 00:33:06,443 --> 00:33:08,776
- I need to see him come so I can
- defend myself!
- 473
- 00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:12,188
- An experiment in
- self-protection...
- 474
- 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:16,701
- we embark on together, doctor,
- yes?
- 475
- 00:33:16,745 --> 00:33:18,737
- Let me take a look at these.
- 476
- 00:33:18,788 --> 00:33:21,246
- Superficial lacerations,
- multiple to the face.
- 477
- 00:33:21,291 --> 00:33:23,328
- How would you feel, doctor...
- 478
- 00:33:23,376 --> 00:33:28,872
- if we were to introduce some
- of the comforts of home?
- 479
- 00:33:28,924 --> 00:33:31,917
- Orthognathous jaw, facial angle,
- 80 degrees...
- 480
- 00:33:31,968 --> 00:33:35,882
- maybe some clothing.
- Amativeness, 8 incline...
- 481
- 00:33:35,931 --> 00:33:37,968
- Philoprogenitiveness, 4 decline.
- 482
- 00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:39,382
- How would that be?
- 483
- 00:33:39,434 --> 00:33:41,096
- My own wardrobe as protection?
- 484
- 00:33:41,144 --> 00:33:45,605
- As protection, precisely.
- Adhesiveness, 3 constant.
- 485
- 00:33:45,649 --> 00:33:49,268
- Combativeness, 6 incline.
- Secretiveness, 8.
- 486
- 00:33:49,319 --> 00:33:51,857
- Hope, 4, constant.
- 487
- 00:33:51,905 --> 00:33:55,569
- Yes, the simple things that we
- can fit into your surroundings.
- 488
- 00:33:55,617 --> 00:33:58,075
- It also happens that the
- adjoining cell...
- 489
- 00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:01,578
- has become available, you could
- stretch your legs.
- 490
- 00:34:03,917 --> 00:34:05,579
- I could have easels with paints.
- 491
- 00:34:05,627 --> 00:34:11,965
- Certainly. Wonder, Ideality,
- Wit, Form. All 8, decline.
- 492
- 00:34:12,008 --> 00:34:15,342
- Eventuality undetermined. Do you
- have any other requests, doctor?
- 493
- 00:34:15,387 --> 00:34:17,970
- My books. May I have my books?
- 494
- 00:34:18,014 --> 00:34:19,175
- By all means, anything else?
- 495
- 00:34:19,224 --> 00:34:20,806
- My gun.
- 496
- 00:34:20,850 --> 00:34:23,593
- Perhaps we'll give that one
- a miss.
- 497
- 00:34:23,645 --> 00:34:24,761
- Thank you, doctor.
- 498
- 00:34:24,813 --> 00:34:26,725
- Please, don't thank me.
- 499
- 00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:28,480
- It has been a long time since
- anyone has...
- 500
- 00:34:28,525 --> 00:34:34,237
- My dear friend, no thanks, no
- thanks...
- 501
- 00:34:34,281 --> 00:34:36,773
- a new beginning.
- 502
- 00:34:39,536 --> 00:34:43,246
- Yes, a new beginning, yes.
- 503
- 00:34:43,623 --> 00:34:48,288
- BRAYN How can a man of
- such high breeding...
- 504
- 00:34:48,336 --> 00:34:55,459
- have regressed through disease
- so far back to animality?
- 505
- 00:35:00,348 --> 00:35:01,805
- Doctor?
- 506
- 00:35:03,685 --> 00:35:05,051
- Mr. Muncie?
- 507
- 00:35:05,103 --> 00:35:08,016
- We wanted to give you this, sir,
- the lads all chipped in.
- 508
- 00:35:08,064 --> 00:35:10,898
- And what have we here?
- 509
- 00:35:10,942 --> 00:35:15,983
- It's a book, sir. We're all
- grateful to you.
- 510
- 00:35:16,031 --> 00:35:18,193
- Yes, it is. Thank you,
- Mr. Muncie.
- 511
- 00:35:18,241 --> 00:35:20,699
- For saving a young guard's life,
- sir.
- 512
- 00:35:20,744 --> 00:35:25,409
- I will read it avidly and I will
- treasure it forever!
- 513
- 00:35:25,457 --> 00:35:28,416
- You thank your men on my behalf!
- 514
- 00:35:28,460 --> 00:35:30,122
- Merry Christmas, sir.
- 515
- 00:35:30,170 --> 00:35:32,833
- Merry Christmas, you, too, yes.
- 516
- 00:35:37,260 --> 00:35:40,003
- Ham, Mr. Muncie!
- 517
- 00:35:41,222 --> 00:35:42,838
- Sir?
- 518
- 00:35:42,891 --> 00:35:48,228
- I find that a good, warm ham is
- often better...
- 519
- 00:35:48,271 --> 00:35:50,729
- for fighting the cold than any
- number of blankets...
- 520
- 00:35:50,774 --> 00:35:55,394
- or coals in the fire, especially
- at this time of year.
- 521
- 00:35:58,907 --> 00:36:00,193
- Did he like the book, sir?
- 522
- 00:36:00,241 --> 00:36:01,698
- - The book?
- - Yeah.
- 523
- 00:36:01,743 --> 00:36:04,030
- - I don't know.
- - Well, has he read it?
- 524
- 00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:05,866
- - Well, he opened the wrapping.
- - Yes, sir.
- 525
- 00:36:05,914 --> 00:36:07,951
- - And then he opened the book.
- - Yes.
- 526
- 00:36:07,999 --> 00:36:10,412
- And then he threw it out
- the window.
- 527
- 00:36:10,460 --> 00:36:11,667
- He what?
- 528
- 00:36:11,711 --> 00:36:13,481
- Yeah, he said a demon vaporized
- off the page...
- 529
- 00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:14,712
- and went up his nostrils.
- 530
- 00:36:14,756 --> 00:36:16,088
- His nostrils?
- 531
- 00:36:16,132 --> 00:36:18,340
- He's in there now trying to pull
- out his nose hairs.
- 532
- 00:36:37,612 --> 00:36:41,026
- MURRAY To chart the life
- of each word, we must start...
- 533
- 00:36:41,074 --> 00:36:44,988
- with a record of its birth,
- when it was first written down.
- 534
- 00:36:45,036 --> 00:36:48,029
- From there, words come down to
- us through the ages...
- 535
- 00:36:48,081 --> 00:36:50,323
- twisting and turning, weaving
- their way.
- 536
- 00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:53,038
- Their meanings slipping and
- slivering, offishlike, adding..
- 537
- 00:36:53,086 --> 00:36:56,875
- and shedding subtleties of
- nuance to and from themselves.
- 538
- 00:36:56,923 --> 00:36:59,040
- But they leave tracks...
- 539
- 00:36:59,092 --> 00:37:02,551
- in the great expanse of the
- literature...
- 540
- 00:37:02,595 --> 00:37:04,302
- of the English language.
- 541
- 00:37:08,143 --> 00:37:10,351
- MURRAY We will chase
- them, hunt them...
- 542
- 00:37:10,395 --> 00:37:14,890
- and ferret them out, all
- of them, every single word...
- 543
- 00:37:14,941 --> 00:37:16,807
- from all the centuries
- of writing...
- 544
- 00:37:16,860 --> 00:37:20,399
- and we will do so by reading
- every single book.
- 545
- 00:37:24,117 --> 00:37:27,030
- Can it be done?
- 546
- 00:37:32,083 --> 00:37:36,043
- You crazy, beautiful bastard!
- 547
- 00:37:36,087 --> 00:37:38,204
- Guard! Guard!
- 548
- 00:37:41,176 --> 00:37:42,712
- Ink, I'll need ink.
- 549
- 00:37:42,761 --> 00:37:44,627
- Yes, sir, I understand, sir.
- 550
- 00:37:44,679 --> 00:37:46,716
- - Paper.
- - Yes, sir.
- 551
- 00:37:46,765 --> 00:37:49,348
- - Lots and lots of it.
- - I'll see what I can do, doctor.
- 552
- 00:37:49,392 --> 00:37:52,055
- And Coleman...
- 553
- 00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:53,639
- Yes, sir?
- 554
- 00:37:53,688 --> 00:37:59,525
- Would you be so kind as to
- dispose of this for me?
- 555
- 00:38:01,988 --> 00:38:03,479
- What is it, sir?
- 556
- 00:38:03,531 --> 00:38:04,817
- You can't see?
- 557
- 00:38:07,494 --> 00:38:09,907
- Yes... of course, I can, sir...
- 558
- 00:38:09,954 --> 00:38:12,617
- Yes, nasal hair, mind the
- demonic vapors...
- 559
- 00:38:12,665 --> 00:38:13,951
- make sure to wash your hands...
- 560
- 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,868
- and I'll make sure to fish out
- some more later.
- 561
- 00:38:19,255 --> 00:38:21,872
- - Thank you, sir.
- - Thank you, Coleman.
- 562
- 00:38:26,429 --> 00:38:29,137
- I'm too cold. I'm gonna get
- myself home.
- 563
- 00:38:29,182 --> 00:38:31,890
- We'll warm each other up,
- come on.
- 564
- 00:38:31,935 --> 00:38:35,099
- - I'm too cold.
- - Oh, you got a smile.
- 565
- 00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:37,479
- - I can't, it's too cold!
- - Come on!
- 566
- 00:38:37,524 --> 00:38:40,062
- No!
- 567
- 00:38:40,109 --> 00:38:43,102
- No, no, you promised me!
- You promised me!
- 568
- 00:38:43,154 --> 00:38:45,692
- Get off, I don't owe you
- nothing!
- 569
- 00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:49,279
- What am I meant to feed my
- little ones with, eh?
- 570
- 00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:52,570
- I don't know, ask their father.
- 571
- 00:39:14,310 --> 00:39:16,677
- How are them matches coming, eh?
- 572
- 00:39:24,195 --> 00:39:26,938
- Mum, you alright?
- 573
- 00:39:26,990 --> 00:39:29,448
- Yeah, yeah, I just needed
- a moment.
- 574
- 00:39:52,807 --> 00:39:54,890
- Please, can I help you?
- 575
- 00:39:54,934 --> 00:39:56,766
- It'll be alright.
- 576
- 00:39:56,811 --> 00:39:59,178
- Good evening, I was
- wondering, is your mum around?
- 577
- 00:39:59,230 --> 00:40:01,438
- We'll get those matches done
- by night's end.
- 578
- 00:40:02,859 --> 00:40:04,441
- It's a man at the door.
- 579
- 00:40:04,485 --> 00:40:06,943
- Tell him it's Christmas and
- he'll go away.
- 580
- 00:40:13,369 --> 00:40:15,531
- Could you just give her
- this for me...
- 581
- 00:40:15,580 --> 00:40:18,869
- and tell your mother Happy
- Christmas from Mr. Muncie?
- 582
- 00:40:18,917 --> 00:40:20,909
- Goodnight, girls.
- 583
- 00:40:22,170 --> 00:40:24,162
- Mum?
- 584
- 00:40:28,384 --> 00:40:30,967
- It's a ham in one, the other,
- he didn't say.
- 585
- 00:40:31,012 --> 00:40:32,844
- He said tell your mum
- Happy Christmas.
- 586
- 00:40:32,889 --> 00:40:34,551
- Happy Christmas from Mr. Muncie.
- 587
- 00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:40,186
- It's alright then, isn't it,
- Mum?
- 588
- 00:40:45,485 --> 00:40:49,354
- Sir, stop, sir, please!
- 589
- 00:40:49,405 --> 00:40:50,612
- Yes, dear?
- 590
- 00:40:57,747 --> 00:40:59,454
- Is that supposed to be me?
- 591
- 00:40:59,499 --> 00:41:01,411
- Yeah.
- 592
- 00:41:05,755 --> 00:41:07,747
- Good night, then, Mrs. Merrett.
- 593
- 00:41:07,799 --> 00:41:10,633
- Good night... and thank you.
- 594
- 00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:16,717
- Forgive me for saying, ma'am...
- 595
- 00:41:16,766 --> 00:41:21,557
- but it doesn't have to be
- this way.
- 596
- 00:41:21,604 --> 00:41:23,248
- The children... they don't need
- to go hungry.
- 597
- 00:41:23,272 --> 00:41:27,061
- There is one waiting to feed
- them.
- 598
- 00:41:31,322 --> 00:41:33,405
- Take me to him.
- 599
- 00:41:33,449 --> 00:41:38,444
- Let me look him in the eye,
- see if I can stomach him.
- 600
- 00:41:38,496 --> 00:41:40,954
- I went to a banquet
- and I ate apples...
- 601
- 00:41:40,999 --> 00:41:43,241
- bananas, and cranberries.
- 602
- 00:41:43,292 --> 00:41:48,208
- I went to the banquet and I ate
- apples...
- 603
- 00:41:48,256 --> 00:41:50,464
- bananas, cranberries, and...
- dog.
- 604
- 00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:52,966
- That can't be, you can't eat
- dog.
- 605
- 00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:54,092
- Yes, I can.
- 606
- 00:41:54,137 --> 00:41:56,049
- No, you can't.
- 607
- 00:41:56,097 --> 00:42:02,139
- Mum! Mother! Mum?
- 608
- 00:42:27,378 --> 00:42:28,664
- Merry Christmas all!
- 609
- 00:42:30,339 --> 00:42:33,798
- Hey! We're taking fire,
- Mr. Bradley!
- 610
- 00:42:35,803 --> 00:42:37,044
- Pounce on them!
- 611
- 00:42:44,145 --> 00:42:45,807
- Ah, you wee...!
- 612
- 00:42:56,199 --> 00:42:57,815
- Well, you deserved it.
- 613
- 00:43:01,913 --> 00:43:04,405
- Faster!
- 614
- 00:43:04,457 --> 00:43:07,825
- Do you remember our first
- Christmas at the school?
- 615
- 00:43:07,877 --> 00:43:11,712
- Harold was no more than 8 or 9
- months old.
- 616
- 00:43:11,756 --> 00:43:16,717
- Such a fat, little baby. Do you
- remember how he used to cry?
- 617
- 00:43:16,761 --> 00:43:18,502
- Oh, god.
- 618
- 00:43:18,554 --> 00:43:21,422
- One night, he was screaming so
- hard...
- 619
- 00:43:21,474 --> 00:43:24,683
- I don't know how his little body
- could do it.
- 620
- 00:43:24,727 --> 00:43:29,188
- Every ounce of him shrieking.
- Nothing I tried would calm him.
- 621
- 00:43:29,232 --> 00:43:33,602
- I was frightened, then you
- came home.
- 622
- 00:43:33,653 --> 00:43:36,145
- You lifted him up into your
- arms...
- 623
- 00:43:36,197 --> 00:43:40,407
- you held him to your chest,
- and he stopped.
- 624
- 00:43:41,577 --> 00:43:46,117
- He was so exhausted he fell
- asleep instantly.
- 625
- 00:43:46,165 --> 00:43:51,206
- It's always been that way,
- with all of them.
- 626
- 00:43:51,254 --> 00:43:54,042
- You had something I didn't.
- 627
- 00:43:54,090 --> 00:43:58,209
- So I taught myself to be what
- you were not.
- 628
- 00:43:58,261 --> 00:44:01,345
- Strict, fixed, changeless.
- 629
- 00:44:01,389 --> 00:44:05,724
- A queen and a clown, together
- a perfect whole.
- 630
- 00:44:05,768 --> 00:44:07,134
- What if it changed?
- 631
- 00:44:07,186 --> 00:44:10,145
- What if you're not there
- to be the clown?
- 632
- 00:44:12,233 --> 00:44:14,691
- I know I've been less than
- present lately...
- 633
- 00:44:14,735 --> 00:44:19,105
- but change will come,
- and for the better.
- 634
- 00:44:19,157 --> 00:44:22,571
- I wish I had your certainty.
- 635
- 00:44:28,457 --> 00:44:32,201
- Want to put the fire out when
- you come to bed?
- 636
- 00:44:40,595 --> 00:44:42,837
- Ah, I thought you might be here,
- sir.
- 637
- 00:44:42,889 --> 00:44:45,632
- I have a few hours before my
- little ones wake...
- 638
- 00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:47,390
- for Christmas morning.
- 639
- 00:44:47,435 --> 00:44:49,037
- I thought I might take another
- look at Approve.
- 640
- 00:44:49,061 --> 00:44:51,474
- That'll make it two of us.
- 641
- 00:45:00,656 --> 00:45:04,570
- William? Dr. Minor?
- 642
- 00:45:07,038 --> 00:45:09,621
- I have a proposal for you.
- 643
- 00:45:09,665 --> 00:45:11,372
- There's been a request
- for a meeting.
- 644
- 00:45:11,417 --> 00:45:16,879
- Tristram Shandy, a gift from Mr.
- Muncie and his men...
- 645
- 00:45:16,923 --> 00:45:19,711
- but much more.
- 646
- 00:45:21,928 --> 00:45:23,135
- This is very delicate.
- 647
- 00:45:23,179 --> 00:45:26,388
- I'll need books, far more
- volumes...
- 648
- 00:45:26,432 --> 00:45:27,923
- than I have within my own reach.
- 649
- 00:45:27,975 --> 00:45:31,594
- William, I think this could be
- very important for us.
- 650
- 00:45:31,646 --> 00:45:34,229
- Oxford University has undertaken
- an inventory...
- 651
- 00:45:34,273 --> 00:45:40,065
- of the entire English language,
- and they've asked for help.
- 652
- 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,356
- Are you listening to me?
- 653
- 00:45:48,871 --> 00:45:55,619
- I'll be all right... with work,
- with this work.
- 654
- 00:45:57,713 --> 00:46:03,175
- I'll be all right, but I need
- books...
- 655
- 00:46:03,219 --> 00:46:05,757
- I only need books.
- 656
- 00:46:07,723 --> 00:46:10,431
- Make me a list of all the titles
- that you require.
- 657
- 00:46:10,476 --> 00:46:13,594
- If I have them, I'll get them
- sent to you.
- 658
- 00:46:13,646 --> 00:46:15,262
- Thank you, doctor.
- 659
- 00:46:20,361 --> 00:46:21,852
- William...
- 660
- 00:46:29,996 --> 00:46:32,454
- When does she want to come?
- 661
- 00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:43,916
- Mrs. Merrett.
- 662
- 00:46:47,888 --> 00:46:50,881
- - Where is he?
- - It should only be a moment.
- 663
- 00:46:50,933 --> 00:46:54,597
- I just wanted to make sure that
- everyone was breathing.
- 664
- 00:46:54,645 --> 00:46:58,434
- There's a real generosity
- in your visit today...
- 665
- 00:46:58,482 --> 00:47:03,022
- Mrs. Merrett... a true courage.
- 666
- 00:47:03,070 --> 00:47:05,528
- Courage, doctor, is not
- why I came.
- 667
- 00:47:24,216 --> 00:47:28,586
- Is it... is it possible
- they wait?
- 668
- 00:47:47,198 --> 00:47:49,190
- The letter.
- 669
- 00:47:49,950 --> 00:47:51,361
- Yes.
- 670
- 00:47:55,581 --> 00:47:57,197
- All right.
- 671
- 00:47:59,168 --> 00:48:00,284
- How can...
- 672
- 00:48:00,336 --> 00:48:01,747
- We'll take care of everything,
- sir.
- 673
- 00:48:01,796 --> 00:48:04,254
- - Thank you, doctor.
- - Thank you, Mrs. Merrett.
- 674
- 00:48:09,303 --> 00:48:11,545
- It doesn't make it right.
- 675
- 00:48:14,850 --> 00:48:18,264
- What would you care to send her?
- 676
- 00:48:18,312 --> 00:48:20,224
- Everything.
- 677
- 00:48:41,919 --> 00:48:44,377
- MURRAY Few of the
- earliest books have been read.
- 678
- 00:48:44,422 --> 00:48:47,210
- It is in the 17th and 18th
- Centuries above all...
- 679
- 00:48:47,258 --> 00:48:52,003
- that help is urgently needed,
- for nearly the whole...
- 680
- 00:48:52,054 --> 00:48:55,047
- of those centuries have still
- to be gone through.
- 681
- 00:48:55,099 --> 00:48:57,682
- You may concentrate on the
- rare, also late...
- 682
- 00:48:57,726 --> 00:49:01,219
- old-fashioned new and peculiar,
- but avoid not the quotidian...
- 683
- 00:49:01,272 --> 00:49:04,765
- for every word in action
- becomes beautiful...
- 684
- 00:49:04,817 --> 00:49:06,774
- in the light of its own
- meaning.
- 685
- 00:49:17,997 --> 00:49:22,742
- Mr. Muncie! Mr. Muncie!
- 686
- 00:49:25,379 --> 00:49:28,292
- Sorry to have woken you, I need
- your help with a post.
- 687
- 00:49:30,759 --> 00:49:33,923
- Yes, well, is it night?
- 688
- 00:49:38,517 --> 00:49:42,431
- Such a lot of it, need
- envelopes, tons...
- 689
- 00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:45,814
- lots and lots of envelopes
- and a large bag.
- 690
- 00:49:45,858 --> 00:49:47,144
- Yes, sir.
- 691
- 00:49:47,193 --> 00:49:48,587
- And a carpenter, can you bring
- a carpenter by...
- 692
- 00:49:48,611 --> 00:49:50,443
- in the morning, of course?
- 693
- 00:50:18,641 --> 00:50:20,598
- Good morning, sir.
- 694
- 00:50:20,643 --> 00:50:22,851
- Not so good I'm afraid, Henry.
- 695
- 00:50:22,895 --> 00:50:25,512
- It's Art, none of it is working.
- 696
- 00:50:25,564 --> 00:50:27,524
- Are you sure, sir? I checked it
- myself last night.
- 697
- 00:50:27,566 --> 00:50:31,276
- The construct is off. It has
- lost all sense of coherence.
- 698
- 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,733
- And it's missing countless
- variations of meaning.
- 699
- 00:50:33,781 --> 00:50:35,272
- We'll have to start it anew.
- 700
- 00:50:35,324 --> 00:50:38,362
- But, sir, it will take weeks
- just to reset the definitions.
- 701
- 00:50:38,410 --> 00:50:41,528
- Mr. Gell has asked for me at the
- Press office this morning.
- 702
- 00:50:41,580 --> 00:50:44,493
- I would very much like to see
- Art torn apart...
- 703
- 00:50:44,542 --> 00:50:48,161
- and restarted when I return, eh?
- 704
- 00:50:48,212 --> 00:50:50,044
- Very well, sir.
- 705
- 00:50:50,089 --> 00:50:51,751
- Thank you, Henry.
- 706
- 00:51:03,060 --> 00:51:04,871
- Your book, Mr. Murray, is
- going to be an unassailable...
- 707
- 00:51:04,895 --> 00:51:06,386
- contribution to English
- scholarship.
- 708
- 00:51:06,438 --> 00:51:09,306
- It will make you famous,
- when it is finished.
- 709
- 00:51:09,358 --> 00:51:11,224
- Look around, Mr. Murray.
- 710
- 00:51:11,277 --> 00:51:15,772
- Empire, one quarter of the land
- and peoples of this earth.
- 711
- 00:51:15,823 --> 00:51:19,157
- The largest trading dominion
- ever known.
- 712
- 00:51:19,201 --> 00:51:22,285
- If one wishes to participate,
- one bows down to Her Majesty...
- 713
- 00:51:22,329 --> 00:51:25,572
- and one speaks her tongue,
- English.
- 714
- 00:51:27,042 --> 00:51:29,034
- Forgive me, Mr. Gell...
- 715
- 00:51:29,086 --> 00:51:31,286
- remind me why I am being kept
- from my work this morning.
- 716
- 00:51:35,426 --> 00:51:37,588
- I was brought onto the press...
- 717
- 00:51:37,636 --> 00:51:41,346
- to modernize the commerce of
- academia, to sell.
- 718
- 00:51:41,390 --> 00:51:44,428
- And do you know what the first
- hotcake I found was?
- 719
- 00:51:44,476 --> 00:51:46,058
- The King James Bible...
- 720
- 00:51:46,103 --> 00:51:49,096
- it has sold everywhere, in every
- backwater and morass...
- 721
- 00:51:49,148 --> 00:51:51,765
- where an Englishman is doing
- God's work in a frock.
- 722
- 00:51:51,817 --> 00:51:54,275
- We have operations on every
- continent.
- 723
- 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,154
- Depots in Edinburgh, Toronto,
- Melbourne and Calcutta.
- 724
- 00:51:57,197 --> 00:51:59,610
- All printing, binding,
- dispatching all advertising...
- 725
- 00:51:59,658 --> 00:52:02,196
- and all, now, ready for the next
- good book.
- 726
- 00:52:02,244 --> 00:52:04,782
- All waiting... for you.
- 727
- 00:52:04,830 --> 00:52:06,071
- What is this?
- 728
- 00:52:06,123 --> 00:52:07,659
- Your work is taking too long.
- 729
- 00:52:07,708 --> 00:52:09,102
- Our expectations constantly
- revised...
- 730
- 00:52:09,126 --> 00:52:11,083
- and not a single page to show
- for it.
- 731
- 00:52:11,128 --> 00:52:13,315
- The delegates have unanimously
- agreed that I take charge...
- 732
- 00:52:13,339 --> 00:52:15,296
- of keeping the project to time.
- 733
- 00:52:15,341 --> 00:52:17,777
- To that effect, you have in your
- hands a set of suggestions...
- 734
- 00:52:17,801 --> 00:52:20,760
- on how to curb the scope
- of the work.
- 735
- 00:52:20,804 --> 00:52:23,171
- What we need is more rigorous
- selection...
- 736
- 00:52:23,223 --> 00:52:25,510
- survival only of the fittest
- words.
- 737
- 00:52:31,732 --> 00:52:36,022
- I'm tired. My team, we are all
- beyond tired.
- 738
- 00:52:37,696 --> 00:52:40,655
- For months now, my pleas for
- help have fallen on deaf ears.
- 739
- 00:52:40,699 --> 00:52:41,860
- You have refused to pay...
- 740
- 00:52:41,909 --> 00:52:44,447
- for even for a single additional
- assistant.
- 741
- 00:52:45,913 --> 00:52:48,701
- I began this intending to create
- something unprecedented.
- 742
- 00:52:48,749 --> 00:52:50,991
- To order the world of words...
- 743
- 00:52:51,043 --> 00:52:54,627
- making them universally
- accessible and useful.
- 744
- 00:52:54,672 --> 00:52:57,631
- I swore that I would bend at
- nothing to make it happen.
- 745
- 00:52:57,675 --> 00:53:02,386
- And as of now, this very moment,
- my resolve is greater than ever.
- 746
- 00:53:02,429 --> 00:53:04,295
- You are on the verge of all out
- cancellation.
- 747
- 00:53:04,348 --> 00:53:06,409
- These rules are designed to help
- keep the work going.
- 748
- 00:53:06,433 --> 00:53:07,844
- You may not like them, Mr.
- Murray...
- 749
- 00:53:07,893 --> 00:53:09,100
- but what other way is there?
- 750
- 00:53:09,144 --> 00:53:11,682
- My way, Mr. Gell.
- 751
- 00:53:11,730 --> 00:53:16,316
- Mr. Murray, we are watching
- with a concerned eye.
- 752
- 00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,853
- Watch, then, and be amazed.
- 753
- 00:53:30,165 --> 00:53:33,909
- Lord in Heaven help me.
- I am lost.
- 754
- 00:53:35,421 --> 00:53:39,711
- Sir! Sir! Sir?
- 755
- 00:53:39,758 --> 00:53:40,874
- What?
- 756
- 00:53:40,926 --> 00:53:44,636
- It's a miracle, it's impossible.
- 757
- 00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:46,137
- Calm down, man, spit it out.
- 758
- 00:53:46,181 --> 00:53:49,424
- - Approve, sir, it's complete.
- - Complete?
- 759
- 00:53:49,476 --> 00:53:50,933
- You were right, sir.
- 760
- 00:53:50,978 --> 00:53:53,039
- "Others who approve not to
- transgress by thy example"...
- 761
- 00:53:53,063 --> 00:53:53,980
- Milton, Paradise Lost.
- 762
- 00:53:53,981 --> 00:53:55,017
- You found it.
- 763
- 00:53:55,065 --> 00:53:56,772
- No, not us, sir. You better read
- this.
- 764
- 00:53:56,817 --> 00:53:59,230
- It is with a great sense
- of privilege...
- 765
- 00:53:59,278 --> 00:54:01,645
- that I offer myself up
- as a volunteer.
- 766
- 00:54:01,697 --> 00:54:03,279
- Please, sir, read on.
- 767
- 00:54:03,323 --> 00:54:06,737
- MINOR Enclosed please
- find one-thousand word slips...
- 768
- 00:54:06,785 --> 00:54:09,323
- with corresponding
- quotations...
- 769
- 00:54:09,371 --> 00:54:12,739
- from the height and depth
- of literature.
- 770
- 00:54:12,791 --> 00:54:17,377
- I have derived a key, a type
- of dictionary...
- 771
- 00:54:17,421 --> 00:54:21,131
- within a dictionary, that
- allows the amassing of words...
- 772
- 00:54:21,175 --> 00:54:23,633
- with addended quotations.
- 773
- 00:54:23,677 --> 00:54:25,714
- My request is simple.
- 774
- 00:54:25,763 --> 00:54:28,255
- To make your burden light.
- 775
- 00:54:28,307 --> 00:54:33,177
- Write to me, tell me what
- specific words at present...
- 776
- 00:54:33,228 --> 00:54:36,096
- shimmer and fade at your grasp.
- 777
- 00:54:37,983 --> 00:54:39,975
- Let useful others troll the
- oceans...
- 778
- 00:54:40,027 --> 00:54:43,111
- with their nets cast wide.
- 779
- 00:54:43,155 --> 00:54:46,819
- I shall throw my line and pluck
- the very quotes...
- 780
- 00:54:46,867 --> 00:54:50,952
- that evade you when you call
- upon me to do so.
- 781
- 00:54:53,749 --> 00:54:59,120
- Very truly yours, W.C. Minor,
- Crowthorne, Berkshire.
- 782
- 00:55:01,006 --> 00:55:02,338
- Look, it's all there.
- 783
- 00:55:02,382 --> 00:55:06,171
- He's given us Approve in the
- 17th and 18th centuries.
- 784
- 00:55:06,220 --> 00:55:07,094
- And Art?
- 785
- 00:55:07,095 --> 00:55:09,132
- Not that one, but so much else.
- 786
- 00:55:09,181 --> 00:55:11,719
- All in the "A" s, all words
- we're working on...
- 787
- 00:55:11,767 --> 00:55:14,305
- and at first glance all
- of it usable.
- 788
- 00:55:16,355 --> 00:55:17,891
- God has sent us a savior.
- 789
- 00:55:17,940 --> 00:55:20,182
- Now all we have to do is try to
- keep up with him.
- 790
- 00:55:20,234 --> 00:55:22,271
- Thank you, Mr. Hall.
- 791
- 00:55:22,319 --> 00:55:25,187
- Let's have a good look
- at these slips.
- 792
- 00:55:27,366 --> 00:55:28,777
- Sort these now.
- 793
- 00:55:28,826 --> 00:55:30,909
- MURRAY You cannot fathom
- the impact of both...
- 794
- 00:55:30,953 --> 00:55:34,742
- your offer and your timing.
- I am your grateful recipient.
- 795
- 00:55:34,790 --> 00:55:37,999
- Let paper and ink be our flesh
- and blood...
- 796
- 00:55:38,043 --> 00:55:39,375
- until we are privileged
- to meet.
- 797
- 00:55:39,419 --> 00:55:40,830
- That's right.
- 798
- 00:55:40,879 --> 00:55:42,273
- MURRAY Enclosed are a
- list of words that...
- 799
- 00:55:42,297 --> 00:55:45,165
- at present... are eluding us.
- 800
- 00:55:45,217 --> 00:55:49,052
- The word Art is proving
- particularly troublesome.
- 801
- 00:55:50,639 --> 00:55:53,006
- MINOR Enclosed you will
- find the quotations...
- 802
- 00:55:53,058 --> 00:55:54,765
- that you have requested.
- 803
- 00:55:54,810 --> 00:55:58,520
- In pondering "Art", I am
- reminded of the words...
- 804
- 00:55:58,564 --> 00:56:01,352
- of a great man of our time
- who said...
- 805
- 00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:07,112
- all great and beautiful work
- has come of first gazing...
- 806
- 00:56:07,155 --> 00:56:09,989
- without shrinking into the
- darkness.
- 807
- 00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:11,649
- May I, sir?
- 808
- 00:56:11,702 --> 00:56:12,818
- Aye.
- 809
- 00:56:14,121 --> 00:56:15,328
- Ah.
- 810
- 00:56:21,837 --> 00:56:25,296
- MINOR I have been much
- acquainted with that darkness.
- 811
- 00:56:25,340 --> 00:56:29,675
- Thank you for letting me lend
- my light to yours.
- 812
- 00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:32,963
- Together we shall shrink the
- darkness...
- 813
- 00:56:33,015 --> 00:56:35,553
- until there is only light.
- 814
- 00:56:35,601 --> 00:56:40,767
- Yours, W.C. Minor. Crowthorne,
- Berkshire.
- 815
- 00:56:44,484 --> 00:56:47,852
- Ah, here it is... heh-heh, eh.
- 816
- 00:56:56,163 --> 00:56:58,701
- Now we'll put your name on it,
- too.
- 817
- 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,374
- Mr. Bradley, can I have another
- fascicle, please?
- 818
- 00:57:05,422 --> 00:57:10,167
- I know of another who's joy in
- seeing it would be immeasurable.
- 819
- 00:57:14,473 --> 00:57:16,339
- Yes, ma'am.
- 820
- 00:57:16,391 --> 00:57:18,508
- Is Mr. Muncie working?
- 821
- 00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:20,051
- He is.
- 822
- 00:57:20,103 --> 00:57:22,686
- Could you please tell him Mrs.
- Merrett is here to see him?
- 823
- 00:57:22,731 --> 00:57:24,518
- I will indeed, ma'am.
- 824
- 00:57:34,618 --> 00:57:36,075
- Hello, ma'am.
- 825
- 00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:37,530
- Mr. Muncie.
- 826
- 00:57:41,291 --> 00:57:43,658
- So pleased you've
- returned, Mrs. Merrett.
- 827
- 00:57:43,710 --> 00:57:46,327
- Come on in then, ma'am.
- 828
- 00:57:46,380 --> 00:57:50,294
- It's... very interesting.
- 829
- 00:57:56,223 --> 00:57:58,135
- Come in, doctor.
- 830
- 00:58:07,901 --> 00:58:09,984
- Mrs. Merrett has brought you
- a book.
- 831
- 00:58:10,028 --> 00:58:14,068
- Yes... from Maggs, the book
- shop.
- 832
- 00:58:14,116 --> 00:58:15,778
- I was told you like to read.
- 833
- 00:58:18,912 --> 00:58:20,278
- Thank you.
- 834
- 00:58:21,790 --> 00:58:24,248
- Would you care to take a walk
- on the grounds, madam?
- 835
- 00:58:24,292 --> 00:58:26,375
- It is a beautiful spring day.
- 836
- 00:58:30,090 --> 00:58:32,173
- Did you read it?
- 837
- 00:58:33,969 --> 00:58:38,213
- Great Expectations, the book you
- brought me? Is it a favorite?
- 838
- 00:58:38,265 --> 00:58:41,508
- No, no, the shop suggested it.
- 839
- 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,096
- Ah.
- 840
- 00:58:45,022 --> 00:58:48,231
- I came to say... thank you.
- 841
- 00:58:51,528 --> 00:58:54,896
- The children, they're not going
- hungry no more.
- 842
- 00:58:54,948 --> 00:58:58,112
- They've got warm clothes now,
- even for next year, but...
- 843
- 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:00,072
- It's never too late with
- children.
- 844
- 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:01,611
- Their whole lives are tomorrows.
- 845
- 00:59:04,374 --> 00:59:09,369
- But I can't go on taking your
- money. It's... it's not right.
- 846
- 00:59:09,421 --> 00:59:12,038
- - Please, Mrs. Merrett.
- - It's blood money.
- 847
- 00:59:12,090 --> 00:59:17,006
- I know, but it's my blood, too.
- My life belongs to you.
- 848
- 00:59:17,054 --> 00:59:18,966
- I made it so on that night.
- 849
- 00:59:19,014 --> 00:59:21,006
- I took a life and by dreadful
- bargain...
- 850
- 00:59:21,058 --> 00:59:22,674
- I've placed another in your
- hands.
- 851
- 00:59:22,726 --> 00:59:24,388
- By right, all that I have
- is yours.
- 852
- 00:59:28,065 --> 00:59:32,355
- I don't know what to think.
- I don't know why I came.
- 853
- 00:59:34,237 --> 00:59:36,900
- Mrs. Merrett, please!
- 854
- 00:59:40,327 --> 00:59:43,491
- Well, let me know if she
- comes back.
- 855
- 00:59:45,582 --> 00:59:48,245
- Let's have a look at those
- chains.
- 856
- 01:00:06,770 --> 01:00:07,931
- Thank you.
- 857
- 01:00:09,064 --> 01:00:10,396
- Can I help you, sir?
- 858
- 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,397
- Yes, I'm here to see the
- superintendent.
- 859
- 01:00:12,442 --> 01:00:13,442
- Are you expected?
- 860
- 01:00:13,485 --> 01:00:15,147
- No, I came on impulse.
- 861
- 01:00:15,195 --> 01:00:18,404
- I'm James Murray, I am a friend
- of Dr. Minor's...
- 862
- 01:00:18,448 --> 01:00:20,064
- yet only through the post.
- 863
- 01:00:20,117 --> 01:00:23,281
- Dr. Minor, the superintendent.
- 864
- 01:00:23,328 --> 01:00:26,287
- Ah, ah, I came to bring him this
- fruit of our labor.
- 865
- 01:00:26,331 --> 01:00:28,664
- I know who you are, sir.
- 866
- 01:00:28,708 --> 01:00:33,328
- I posted all the letters for
- him. I licked the stamps myself.
- 867
- 01:00:33,380 --> 01:00:35,997
- Oh, thank you, for your mother
- tongue.
- 868
- 01:00:37,551 --> 01:00:39,338
- Yeah, I'll see what I can do.
- 869
- 01:00:44,182 --> 01:00:48,222
- - So this is the good doctor?
- - Mr. Murray, sir.
- 870
- 01:00:48,270 --> 01:00:52,230
- Dr. Minor, I'm proud to make
- your acquaintance, sir.
- 871
- 01:01:10,125 --> 01:01:11,491
- I cannot believe my eyes.
- 872
- 01:01:11,543 --> 01:01:14,081
- Nor I, nor this surprise.
- 873
- 01:01:16,339 --> 01:01:17,875
- How did you gain entrance?
- 874
- 01:01:17,924 --> 01:01:22,089
- I came on the off chance and to
- bring you this.
- 875
- 01:01:22,137 --> 01:01:23,628
- Our gathering, so far.
- 876
- 01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,263
- Meek, but poised to inherit
- the earth.
- 877
- 01:01:26,308 --> 01:01:29,676
- I thank you. You deserve
- to be proud.
- 878
- 01:01:30,937 --> 01:01:32,053
- Dumbfounded.
- 879
- 01:01:32,105 --> 01:01:33,332
- You've been a bulwark for us,
- doctor.
- 880
- 01:01:33,356 --> 01:01:35,268
- I'm happy to be of assistance...
- 881
- 01:01:35,317 --> 01:01:39,152
- though I am merely worker to the
- queen. The alveary is yours.
- 882
- 01:01:39,196 --> 01:01:41,529
- Ah, you sent the quote for
- alveary? From...
- 883
- 01:01:41,573 --> 01:01:42,814
- Baret, 1580.
- 884
- 01:01:42,866 --> 01:01:44,385
- Of course, the early
- dictionaries of English...
- 885
- 01:01:44,409 --> 01:01:47,117
- Latin, French and Greek,
- but of course, you know that.
- 886
- 01:01:47,162 --> 01:01:48,653
- Of course, I don't.
- 887
- 01:01:48,705 --> 01:01:52,164
- I do know the poets. You, in
- your letters, know the scribe.
- 888
- 01:01:52,209 --> 01:01:54,826
- Now my task is to de-scribe.
- 889
- 01:01:54,878 --> 01:01:57,962
- Alveary, such a lovely buzz
- to it.
- 890
- 01:01:58,006 --> 01:02:01,249
- How about cosh, or fettle?
- 891
- 01:02:01,301 --> 01:02:04,169
- Fine. Louche.
- 892
- 01:02:04,221 --> 01:02:05,323
- I remember that from childhood.
- 893
- 01:02:05,347 --> 01:02:07,259
- It always seemed undressed.
- 894
- 01:02:07,307 --> 01:02:09,094
- Commotrix, I adore that one...
- 895
- 01:02:09,142 --> 01:02:11,304
- sounds as though it wants
- trouble.
- 896
- 01:02:11,353 --> 01:02:13,686
- Troublesome indeed, and
- difficult to find.
- 897
- 01:02:13,730 --> 01:02:14,971
- Gyre.
- 898
- 01:02:15,023 --> 01:02:17,481
- A revolution, a whirl.
- 899
- 01:02:17,525 --> 01:02:18,732
- Decussated.
- 900
- 01:02:18,777 --> 01:02:21,144
- Formed by crossing lines, an X,
- an intersection.
- 901
- 01:02:21,196 --> 01:02:23,438
- Perhaps you should be writing
- definitions and I...
- 902
- 01:02:23,490 --> 01:02:27,780
- well, I'd be useless tending
- to your patients.
- 903
- 01:02:27,827 --> 01:02:30,615
- So let's leave it as it is.
- 904
- 01:02:30,664 --> 01:02:33,873
- We've only just started.
- Partners, word for word.
- 905
- 01:02:33,917 --> 01:02:36,330
- An American and a Scot?
- 906
- 01:02:36,378 --> 01:02:40,122
- How does an American come to eye
- these gates?
- 907
- 01:02:40,173 --> 01:02:42,756
- A story for another day.
- 908
- 01:02:42,801 --> 01:02:45,088
- Let's continue the comparison.
- 909
- 01:02:45,136 --> 01:02:46,877
- One Oxford, one Yale.
- 910
- 01:02:46,930 --> 01:02:48,046
- Both graying.
- 911
- 01:02:48,098 --> 01:02:49,964
- One brilliant, one mad.
- 912
- 01:02:50,016 --> 01:02:51,632
- Aye, but which is which?
- 913
- 01:03:19,170 --> 01:03:21,002
- Where to from here?
- 914
- 01:03:23,466 --> 01:03:25,378
- Antagonism to bathe.
- 915
- 01:03:25,427 --> 01:03:27,714
- Batheable to cholera.
- 916
- 01:03:27,762 --> 01:03:29,094
- Choleric to dysenteric.
- 917
- 01:03:29,139 --> 01:03:30,755
- Dysentery to eczema.
- 918
- 01:03:30,807 --> 01:03:33,800
- Eczematous to fungus.
- 919
- 01:03:33,852 --> 01:03:35,434
- Why not jump straight to
- leprosy?
- 920
- 01:03:35,478 --> 01:03:36,685
- Oh, that's dropping off a lot.
- 921
- 01:03:36,730 --> 01:03:38,312
- You could go back to acne.
- 922
- 01:03:38,356 --> 01:03:40,222
- Well, there's no need to be
- rash.
- 923
- 01:03:40,275 --> 01:03:43,188
- - Who's this?
- - Murray, sir.
- 924
- 01:03:43,236 --> 01:03:45,116
- - Who's Murray?
- - The man from the dictionary...
- 925
- 01:03:45,155 --> 01:03:47,147
- the one the doctor has been
- working on.
- 926
- 01:03:47,198 --> 01:03:49,906
- Good God, well, he's had a very
- busy day.
- 927
- 01:03:49,951 --> 01:03:51,783
- Let's keep it short, shall we?
- 928
- 01:03:51,828 --> 01:03:53,035
- Yes, sir.
- 929
- 01:03:54,622 --> 01:03:58,787
- Mr. Muncie? Accord Dr. Murray
- full visitation privileges.
- 930
- 01:03:58,835 --> 01:04:00,701
- Let me know when they're
- gonna happen.
- 931
- 01:04:00,754 --> 01:04:04,293
- - Yes, sir.
- - Thank you.
- 932
- 01:04:04,341 --> 01:04:08,130
- Let's document all their
- meetings, keep full details.
- 933
- 01:04:09,346 --> 01:04:11,178
- One could dare say it's
- beautiful here.
- 934
- 01:04:11,222 --> 01:04:13,509
- Listen to the leaves scratch
- the air.
- 935
- 01:04:13,558 --> 01:04:18,678
- Sometimes it sounds like
- gunfire. Sometimes like...
- 936
- 01:04:18,730 --> 01:04:22,565
- - Like applause.
- - Yes, applause.
- 937
- 01:04:25,570 --> 01:04:26,981
- Mr. Murray?
- 938
- 01:04:27,030 --> 01:04:30,899
- - Aye. I should be off then.
- - Check your posts.
- 939
- 01:04:30,950 --> 01:04:33,818
- I will garner my thoughts and
- spark them off of yours.
- 940
- 01:04:33,870 --> 01:04:35,111
- As iron sharpens iron...
- 941
- 01:04:35,163 --> 01:04:37,951
- so one man sharpens the
- countenance of a friend.
- 942
- 01:04:37,999 --> 01:04:41,583
- Scripture. You're a man of God,
- I should not be surprised.
- 943
- 01:04:41,628 --> 01:04:44,541
- It is by His grace alone.
- 944
- 01:04:44,589 --> 01:04:47,297
- I wish I had experienced
- that more often.
- 945
- 01:04:47,342 --> 01:04:48,833
- You will, my friend.
- 946
- 01:04:48,885 --> 01:04:52,549
- Goodness and mercy shall follow
- me all the days of my life.
- 947
- 01:04:52,597 --> 01:04:56,056
- Yeah, though I walk through the
- valley of the shadow of death.
- 948
- 01:04:56,101 --> 01:04:58,388
- You're not alone, good doctor.
- 949
- 01:04:58,436 --> 01:05:00,723
- We are linked now...
- consanguineous.
- 950
- 01:05:00,772 --> 01:05:02,479
- Brothers.
- 951
- 01:05:14,744 --> 01:05:16,360
- I looked for you this morning...
- 952
- 01:05:16,413 --> 01:05:18,450
- I wanted to share some good news
- with you.
- 953
- 01:05:18,498 --> 01:05:20,205
- What news?
- 954
- 01:05:20,250 --> 01:05:24,369
- A new volunteer, a miracle...
- he's pulling us out of the mire.
- 955
- 01:05:24,421 --> 01:05:26,834
- We've doubled our progress
- with him already.
- 956
- 01:05:26,881 --> 01:05:31,000
- That's wonderful, James.
- Who is he?
- 957
- 01:05:33,930 --> 01:05:35,796
- A friend.
- 958
- 01:05:55,743 --> 01:05:58,281
- A letter from our
- superintendent, sir.
- 959
- 01:05:58,329 --> 01:05:59,365
- Oh, thank you.
- 960
- 01:06:01,332 --> 01:06:04,040
- Henry, could you keep an eye
- for all future letters...
- 961
- 01:06:04,085 --> 01:06:05,542
- from the good doctor?
- 962
- 01:06:05,587 --> 01:06:08,955
- He is rather a private man and I
- would wish to honor that.
- 963
- 01:06:17,098 --> 01:06:19,260
- I brought another book for you.
- 964
- 01:06:19,309 --> 01:06:22,473
- I see that. What is it?
- 965
- 01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,558
- One from the list Mr. Muncie
- gave me.
- 966
- 01:06:25,607 --> 01:06:27,473
- I asked, it's one of the ones
- you wanted.
- 967
- 01:06:29,027 --> 01:06:32,566
- You read.
- 968
- 01:06:32,614 --> 01:06:37,609
- I will guess which one it is,
- a paragraph, a sentence.
- 969
- 01:06:37,660 --> 01:06:39,652
- I'm sorry, doctor.
- 970
- 01:06:40,705 --> 01:06:42,822
- Mrs. Merrett, Mrs. Merrett...
- 971
- 01:06:42,874 --> 01:06:45,958
- Mrs. Merrett, please,
- what did I do?
- 972
- 01:06:53,843 --> 01:06:55,835
- You cannot read.
- 973
- 01:06:57,472 --> 01:06:59,589
- Forgive me, I should not have
- presumed.
- 974
- 01:06:59,641 --> 01:07:02,384
- I do not need you to bring me
- books, Mrs. Merrett...
- 975
- 01:07:02,435 --> 01:07:03,551
- it is your visits...
- 976
- 01:07:03,603 --> 01:07:05,014
- Please, doctor, let me be.
- 977
- 01:07:05,063 --> 01:07:07,100
- I can teach you.
- 978
- 01:07:07,148 --> 01:07:08,684
- I am what I am.
- 979
- 01:07:08,733 --> 01:07:11,225
- Oh, please, let me teach you.
- You can teach your children.
- 980
- 01:07:11,277 --> 01:07:13,018
- It's freedom, Mrs. Merrett.
- 981
- 01:07:13,071 --> 01:07:15,358
- I can fly out of this place
- on the backs of books.
- 982
- 01:07:15,406 --> 01:07:17,593
- I've gone to the end of the
- world on the wings of words.
- 983
- 01:07:17,617 --> 01:07:18,983
- I can not.
- 984
- 01:07:19,035 --> 01:07:22,153
- When I read, no one is after me.
- 985
- 01:07:24,499 --> 01:07:30,120
- When I read, I am the one who is
- chasing, chasing after God.
- 986
- 01:07:32,006 --> 01:07:36,546
- Please, I beg you... join the
- chase.
- 987
- 01:07:38,388 --> 01:07:40,630
- Kumquat.
- 988
- 01:07:40,682 --> 01:07:42,423
- Oblong.
- 989
- 01:07:42,475 --> 01:07:45,138
- Pert.
- 990
- 01:07:45,186 --> 01:07:47,394
- Prunes.
- 991
- 01:07:47,438 --> 01:07:50,806
- Coconuts.
- 992
- 01:07:50,858 --> 01:07:53,896
- Chitty.
- 993
- 01:08:02,161 --> 01:08:03,368
- My win, Murray.
- 994
- 01:08:03,413 --> 01:08:05,405
- - What on earth is chitty?
- - Long form of chit.
- 995
- 01:08:05,456 --> 01:08:08,699
- Of course, chit. Letter or note,
- Indian origin, no?
- 996
- 01:08:08,751 --> 01:08:10,367
- That's right.
- 997
- 01:08:13,798 --> 01:08:15,505
- Who is she?
- 998
- 01:08:15,550 --> 01:08:17,758
- The impossible.
- 999
- 01:08:17,802 --> 01:08:20,966
- The more impossible, the greater
- the love.
- 1000
- 01:08:21,014 --> 01:08:23,256
- Do you truly believe that?
- 1001
- 01:08:26,519 --> 01:08:28,135
- My heart is so sick.
- 1002
- 01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:36,565
- What I know of love, the
- sickness often becomes the cure.
- 1003
- 01:08:36,613 --> 01:08:43,452
- She is my friend, she is my
- dear friend...
- 1004
- 01:08:43,494 --> 01:08:47,363
- she has suffered a terrible
- loss.
- 1005
- 01:09:00,011 --> 01:09:03,721
- Perhaps God's grace will come to
- her through your love, William.
- 1006
- 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:20,404
- Eats, so you don't really say
- the "A"?
- 1007
- 01:09:20,448 --> 01:09:21,814
- Eats.
- 1008
- 01:09:23,951 --> 01:09:29,413
- Wa... ush... brush and fish.
- 1009
- 01:09:29,457 --> 01:09:31,039
- - Yes.
- - Wash.
- 1010
- 01:09:31,084 --> 01:09:33,701
- You're learning very, very fast.
- 1011
- 01:09:33,753 --> 01:09:39,841
- The brain is wider than the sky,
- for put them side by side...
- 1012
- 01:09:39,884 --> 01:09:46,176
- the one the other will include,
- with ease and you beside.
- 1013
- 01:09:46,224 --> 01:09:51,845
- The brain is just the weight
- of God, for, heft them...
- 1014
- 01:09:51,896 --> 01:09:56,982
- pound for pound, and they will
- differ if they do...
- 1015
- 01:09:57,026 --> 01:09:59,484
- as syllable from the sound.
- 1016
- 01:10:00,405 --> 01:10:03,022
- Did they cut the rest of the
- hair on that girl off?
- 1017
- 01:10:14,919 --> 01:10:16,080
- Mrs. Merrett?
- 1018
- 01:10:16,129 --> 01:10:17,564
- He's making the most tremendous
- progress.
- 1019
- 01:10:17,588 --> 01:10:18,954
- Mrs. Merrett.
- 1020
- 01:10:19,006 --> 01:10:21,089
- I'm beginning to believe the
- more he's exposed...
- 1021
- 01:10:21,134 --> 01:10:25,003
- to the world beyond these walls,
- the speedier will be his cure.
- 1022
- 01:10:25,054 --> 01:10:27,171
- You think he can be cured,
- doctor?
- 1023
- 01:10:27,223 --> 01:10:32,890
- I have to... there must be hope
- for all of us.
- 1024
- 01:10:32,937 --> 01:10:36,726
- Even the most broken of souls.
- 1025
- 01:10:36,774 --> 01:10:40,768
- I, uh... think on it.
- 1026
- 01:10:45,950 --> 01:10:48,658
- MURRAY My Dear Friend,
- I have recommended...
- 1027
- 01:10:48,703 --> 01:10:50,786
- to the Delegates that your name
- be acknowledged...
- 1028
- 01:10:50,830 --> 01:10:53,197
- in the First Volume of the
- "New English Dictionary...
- 1029
- 01:10:53,249 --> 01:10:56,833
- on Historical Principles", to
- which your vibrant mind...
- 1030
- 01:10:56,878 --> 01:10:59,495
- has so critically given the
- breath of life.
- 1031
- 01:10:59,547 --> 01:11:03,006
- The last fascicle is already
- complete.
- 1032
- 01:11:03,050 --> 01:11:05,838
- Expectantly, James.
- 1033
- 01:11:44,342 --> 01:11:47,961
- Congratulations, Dr. Murray.
- 1034
- 01:11:48,012 --> 01:11:50,220
- For giving us A to byzen.
- 1035
- 01:11:50,264 --> 01:11:53,598
- And for the rest to come,
- beginning with cab.
- 1036
- 01:11:53,643 --> 01:11:55,179
- Thank you, sir.
- 1037
- 01:12:10,159 --> 01:12:11,821
- It's not selling.
- 1038
- 01:12:11,869 --> 01:12:15,112
- 4,000 orders the Empire through
- and he won't go any quicker.
- 1039
- 01:12:15,164 --> 01:12:17,451
- We're the laughing stock
- of all academia.
- 1040
- 01:12:17,500 --> 01:12:21,414
- I wonder if it's time to ease
- our gentle Scotsman...
- 1041
- 01:12:21,462 --> 01:12:24,170
- off his little perch.
- 1042
- 01:12:48,823 --> 01:12:49,984
- Stop it!
- 1043
- 01:12:50,032 --> 01:12:52,319
- It'll be alright, they're good
- kids.
- 1044
- 01:12:52,368 --> 01:12:54,360
- We don't have to do it,
- if you don't want to.
- 1045
- 01:12:56,414 --> 01:12:59,873
- Look at me... William.
- 1046
- 01:13:01,794 --> 01:13:04,286
- It'll be alright.
- 1047
- 01:13:04,338 --> 01:13:07,376
- Children, I would like you
- to meet a friend...
- 1048
- 01:13:07,425 --> 01:13:09,712
- his name is William.
- 1049
- 01:13:12,054 --> 01:13:15,138
- You must be Olive, is that
- right?
- 1050
- 01:13:15,182 --> 01:13:16,423
- Yes.
- 1051
- 01:13:19,186 --> 01:13:20,552
- - Iris.
- - Mm-hm.
- 1052
- 01:13:21,981 --> 01:13:26,396
- Jack, and Peggy.
- 1053
- 01:13:28,863 --> 01:13:33,198
- You must be Peter, it's good
- to meet you, Peter.
- 1054
- 01:13:38,122 --> 01:13:39,863
- And are you Clare, then?
- 1055
- 01:13:43,753 --> 01:13:45,210
- Clare.
- 1056
- 01:13:49,425 --> 01:13:51,508
- Truly I'm honored to meet you,
- Clare.
- 1057
- 01:14:00,144 --> 01:14:01,680
- Clare!
- 1058
- 01:14:02,897 --> 01:14:04,058
- Clare!
- 1059
- 01:14:25,002 --> 01:14:29,997
- Mr. Muncie. Watch them for me,
- just for a moment.
- 1060
- 01:14:30,049 --> 01:14:31,665
- Mm-hm.
- 1061
- 01:14:35,096 --> 01:14:39,136
- Doctor! Wait! Wait! I'm sorry.
- 1062
- 01:14:39,183 --> 01:14:42,221
- I never wanted that to happen.
- I'm so sorry.
- 1063
- 01:14:47,817 --> 01:14:51,106
- I remember being safe and still
- I remember knowing who I was...
- 1064
- 01:14:51,153 --> 01:14:55,363
- and I woke up and it had all
- gone away, and I hated you...
- 1065
- 01:14:55,408 --> 01:15:00,028
- so much, for so long, but now
- I know you, I know who you are.
- 1066
- 01:15:00,079 --> 01:15:02,537
- And I know the same has been
- done to you.
- 1067
- 01:15:05,126 --> 01:15:07,618
- I wrote you something.
- 1068
- 01:15:22,476 --> 01:15:24,012
- "I can"...
- 1069
- 01:15:24,061 --> 01:15:27,429
- "I can... because of you."
- 1070
- 01:15:32,820 --> 01:15:35,483
- I miss my husband.
- 1071
- 01:15:37,283 --> 01:15:41,197
- I came here that first day
- to hate you.
- 1072
- 01:15:41,245 --> 01:15:45,034
- To take your money, watch you
- locked away, see you done.
- 1073
- 01:15:48,044 --> 01:15:50,286
- You should still hate me.
- 1074
- 01:15:50,337 --> 01:15:53,830
- Not any more.
- 1075
- 01:16:45,059 --> 01:16:49,770
- Look what you've done!
- Look what you've done!
- 1076
- 01:17:14,255 --> 01:17:16,998
- Not that many this time, sir.
- 1077
- 01:18:33,792 --> 01:18:39,914
- I wrote you something.
- No, read it when I've gone.
- 1078
- 01:18:46,597 --> 01:18:50,887
- I'm sorry, Eliza.
- 1079
- 01:18:51,852 --> 01:18:55,516
- But what if I'm not?
- 1080
- 01:19:50,286 --> 01:19:52,369
- I have killed him again.
- 1081
- 01:19:52,413 --> 01:19:55,531
- It's all your fault.
- 1082
- 01:19:55,582 --> 01:20:00,077
- I've killed him again
- in your heart!
- 1083
- 01:21:05,152 --> 01:21:07,360
- Mr. Coleman!
- 1084
- 01:21:10,115 --> 01:21:12,107
- You might alert the clinic.
- 1085
- 01:21:15,454 --> 01:21:17,366
- I have injured myself.
- 1086
- 01:21:38,060 --> 01:21:42,430
- MINOR "My Friend, I no
- longer find I have the place...
- 1087
- 01:21:42,481 --> 01:21:45,974
- for this, I thought you might
- accept it.
- 1088
- 01:21:46,026 --> 01:21:49,110
- Remember me by it.
- 1089
- 01:21:49,154 --> 01:21:52,067
- As a testament to our
- friendship and to that...
- 1090
- 01:21:52,116 --> 01:21:56,907
- which we created together, in
- the brief and fleeting time...
- 1091
- 01:22:05,838 --> 01:22:08,797
- Dr. Murray, Richard Brayn,
- Superintendent.
- 1092
- 01:22:08,841 --> 01:22:11,128
- Pleased to meet you, sir.
- 1093
- 01:22:11,176 --> 01:22:14,089
- I am very proud of the
- contributions that Dr. Minor...
- 1094
- 01:22:14,138 --> 01:22:15,595
- has made, of course.
- 1095
- 01:22:15,639 --> 01:22:18,302
- The illness has entered a new
- phase. You may be shocked.
- 1096
- 01:22:18,350 --> 01:22:21,843
- I should warn you, too, that he
- may display some hostility.
- 1097
- 01:22:33,449 --> 01:22:34,985
- You came.
- 1098
- 01:22:35,033 --> 01:22:37,491
- Of course, I came.
- 1099
- 01:22:37,536 --> 01:22:39,823
- I knew that you would.
- 1100
- 01:22:44,418 --> 01:22:48,958
- Your God is very demanding.
- 1101
- 01:22:49,006 --> 01:22:52,170
- A sacrifice was required.
- 1102
- 01:22:56,722 --> 01:22:58,304
- I received your letter.
- 1103
- 01:22:58,348 --> 01:23:04,766
- His love... his wife...
- 1104
- 01:23:04,813 --> 01:23:10,059
- I stole her from the dead.
- 1105
- 01:23:13,697 --> 01:23:19,193
- Have you gotten to the "I's"
- by now?
- 1106
- 01:23:19,244 --> 01:23:24,456
- I had some to add to your words.
- 1107
- 01:23:24,500 --> 01:23:28,369
- But I can't seem to...
- 1108
- 01:23:28,420 --> 01:23:32,380
- I can't seem to find my pens.
- 1109
- 01:23:32,424 --> 01:23:34,791
- Our words, William, our words.
- 1110
- 01:23:34,843 --> 01:23:38,132
- Perhaps that is true, perhaps...
- 1111
- 01:23:40,807 --> 01:23:46,144
- madness... gave us words.
- 1112
- 01:23:49,733 --> 01:23:54,649
- But you have made them yours,
- they bear your secret signature.
- 1113
- 01:23:58,367 --> 01:24:02,953
- Why did you come here?
- 1114
- 01:24:02,996 --> 01:24:04,828
- Did you bring others?
- 1115
- 01:24:04,873 --> 01:24:06,205
- I am alone, William.
- 1116
- 01:24:06,250 --> 01:24:11,666
- I have reason to believe that
- they are hiding...
- 1117
- 01:24:11,713 --> 01:24:16,674
- between the spaces in the floor,
- biding their time.
- 1118
- 01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:23,094
- I'm sorry, James. I'm sorry.
- 1119
- 01:24:25,561 --> 01:24:28,349
- For a moment, I...
- 1120
- 01:24:28,397 --> 01:24:33,233
- dared to hope.
- 1121
- 01:24:34,695 --> 01:24:38,439
- Your words, her... forgiveness.
- 1122
- 01:24:38,490 --> 01:24:42,234
- It's more than forgiveness.
- 1123
- 01:24:42,286 --> 01:24:46,280
- She... she gave me this.
- 1124
- 01:24:47,374 --> 01:24:50,958
- Read it later, if you truly want
- to know why.
- 1125
- 01:24:51,003 --> 01:24:53,586
- Know what?
- 1126
- 01:25:03,890 --> 01:25:09,727
- A quote, Austin, 1832.
- 1127
- 01:25:09,771 --> 01:25:15,608
- I sent it in, but only hoping,
- I wasn't sure, until now.
- 1128
- 01:25:15,652 --> 01:25:17,484
- I can't... I can't remember
- the quote.
- 1129
- 01:25:17,529 --> 01:25:21,239
- Look it up! Look it up!
- 1130
- 01:25:26,038 --> 01:25:29,247
- You have seen me now
- and we're done.
- 1131
- 01:25:29,291 --> 01:25:33,752
- You can leave the lunatic
- to his delusions.
- 1132
- 01:25:33,795 --> 01:25:36,003
- I came here to see my friend.
- 1133
- 01:25:36,048 --> 01:25:40,964
- I am no man's friend,
- I am a murderer.
- 1134
- 01:25:41,011 --> 01:25:43,754
- Everything else is make believe.
- 1135
- 01:25:43,805 --> 01:25:48,140
- So leave, leave, leave, leave,
- leave, leave, leave...
- 1136
- 01:25:48,185 --> 01:25:51,428
- leave, leave, leave, leave,
- leave, leave!
- 1137
- 01:25:51,480 --> 01:25:57,943
- And do not come back! I do not
- want to see you!
- 1138
- 01:25:57,986 --> 01:26:02,356
- Please, doctor, if your claim
- that you are my friend...
- 1139
- 01:26:02,407 --> 01:26:08,199
- is true, you will respect
- that one simple wish!
- 1140
- 01:26:08,246 --> 01:26:10,704
- Yeah.
- 1141
- 01:26:14,628 --> 01:26:17,245
- I think no more visitors
- for Dr. Minor.
- 1142
- 01:26:21,635 --> 01:26:26,380
- Bondmade, missing from Volume
- One.
- 1143
- 01:26:26,431 --> 01:26:28,468
- A perfectly solid, everyday
- English word...
- 1144
- 01:26:28,517 --> 01:26:29,678
- and we don't have it.
- 1145
- 01:26:29,726 --> 01:26:31,120
- I don't know how that could
- have happened...
- 1146
- 01:26:31,144 --> 01:26:32,372
- I checked the proofs for it
- myself.
- 1147
- 01:26:32,396 --> 01:26:33,996
- The University of Vienna picked
- up on it.
- 1148
- 01:26:35,565 --> 01:26:36,897
- Calm down, Philip.
- 1149
- 01:26:36,942 --> 01:26:39,650
- We'll catch it, we'll form
- an addendum.
- 1150
- 01:26:39,695 --> 01:26:41,687
- I've been meaning to discuss
- that with all of you.
- 1151
- 01:26:41,738 --> 01:26:43,695
- Are you intending to drop
- others?
- 1152
- 01:26:43,740 --> 01:26:48,451
- The makers of this grand folly
- also deign it beneath them...
- 1153
- 01:26:48,495 --> 01:26:51,454
- to include the nouns and
- adjectives denoting countries.
- 1154
- 01:26:51,498 --> 01:26:55,663
- Hence no mention of African,
- Arabian, American and so on.
- 1155
- 01:26:55,711 --> 01:26:57,418
- In the blasted Figaro!
- 1156
- 01:26:57,462 --> 01:26:59,829
- In the same breath, expounding
- the virtues...
- 1157
- 01:26:59,881 --> 01:27:01,213
- of their competing dictionaries.
- 1158
- 01:27:01,258 --> 01:27:04,001
- In France, Germany, the
- Netherlands.
- 1159
- 01:27:04,052 --> 01:27:06,214
- This is a war about the spread
- of colonial language...
- 1160
- 01:27:06,263 --> 01:27:08,175
- not one with bullets and
- bayonets...
- 1161
- 01:27:08,223 --> 01:27:09,839
- but with influence and
- appearance.
- 1162
- 01:27:09,891 --> 01:27:11,348
- This is utterly absurd.
- 1163
- 01:27:15,272 --> 01:27:18,356
- a superabundance of redundancy,
- Dr. Murray.
- 1164
- 01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:19,607
- We need your focus.
- 1165
- 01:27:19,651 --> 01:27:21,483
- The language is escaping you,
- you are losing.
- 1166
- 01:27:21,528 --> 01:27:24,692
- What precisely are you saying,
- Mr. Gell?
- 1167
- 01:27:24,740 --> 01:27:27,983
- This is Oxford. We do not lose.
- 1168
- 01:27:28,034 --> 01:27:29,696
- Clearly the only course
- remaining...
- 1169
- 01:27:29,745 --> 01:27:30,826
- Bondmade.
- 1170
- 01:27:30,871 --> 01:27:32,237
- What was that? Speak up,
- Freddie.
- 1171
- 01:27:32,289 --> 01:27:37,580
- Bondmade. I borrowed the proof
- from the scriptorium...
- 1172
- 01:27:37,627 --> 01:27:39,118
- to use in one of my lectures.
- 1173
- 01:27:39,171 --> 01:27:42,505
- I forgot to replace it. I am
- responsible for its exclusion.
- 1174
- 01:27:42,549 --> 01:27:43,881
- It doesn't change a thing.
- 1175
- 01:27:43,925 --> 01:27:47,464
- Also the absence of African,
- Arabian, and American.
- 1176
- 01:27:47,512 --> 01:27:49,344
- I convinced James not to include
- them.
- 1177
- 01:27:49,389 --> 01:27:53,224
- So you see, gentlemen, you are
- inculpating the wrong man.
- 1178
- 01:27:53,268 --> 01:27:57,854
- You're right, Philip, there is
- only one course of action.
- 1179
- 01:27:57,898 --> 01:28:00,936
- I will resign my post from
- the board of delegates.
- 1180
- 01:28:00,984 --> 01:28:03,601
- We shall make an announcement
- on it.
- 1181
- 01:28:03,653 --> 01:28:06,737
- And the project will go on,
- with James.
- 1182
- 01:28:06,782 --> 01:28:08,239
- I really don't see how...
- 1183
- 01:28:08,283 --> 01:28:09,649
- Philip, please!
- 1184
- 01:28:09,701 --> 01:28:12,239
- Have it in writing to the Press
- offices in the morning.
- 1185
- 01:28:13,872 --> 01:28:15,329
- He's lying through his teeth.
- 1186
- 01:28:15,373 --> 01:28:16,489
- Of course he is.
- 1187
- 01:28:16,541 --> 01:28:18,032
- Then why let them get away
- with it?
- 1188
- 01:28:18,084 --> 01:28:21,543
- Didn't you see? Dr. Murray is a
- breath away from shattering.
- 1189
- 01:28:21,588 --> 01:28:23,580
- And without Furnivall's
- meddling...
- 1190
- 01:28:23,632 --> 01:28:24,998
- all we need do is wait.
- 1191
- 01:28:25,050 --> 01:28:28,009
- Have a quiet word with Bradley,
- I suspect he is just...
- 1192
- 01:28:28,053 --> 01:28:32,172
- the ticket for a more malleable
- pair of hands at the helm.
- 1193
- 01:28:47,697 --> 01:28:50,656
- James... what's the matter?
- 1194
- 01:28:50,700 --> 01:28:56,287
- I'm adrift, Ada. The day has
- been one of loss.
- 1195
- 01:28:59,209 --> 01:29:01,326
- I need to tell you some things.
- 1196
- 01:29:01,378 --> 01:29:04,041
- Don't go on... what you've
- done...
- 1197
- 01:29:04,089 --> 01:29:06,331
- there is nothing you can tell me
- to make this right!
- 1198
- 01:29:06,383 --> 01:29:08,545
- All the wisdom, all the
- diligence and you simply...
- 1199
- 01:29:08,593 --> 01:29:10,710
- How long have you known about
- his madness?
- 1200
- 01:29:10,762 --> 01:29:12,799
- How much time have you spent
- with this man?
- 1201
- 01:29:12,848 --> 01:29:15,556
- Why are you so angry? What
- difference can it possibly make?
- 1202
- 01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,343
- His work on the dictionary
- proves he is sane.
- 1203
- 01:29:18,395 --> 01:29:20,728
- He fooled that jury and he
- fooled you.
- 1204
- 01:29:20,772 --> 01:29:22,934
- What about repentance, Ada?
- What about redemption?
- 1205
- 01:29:25,318 --> 01:29:27,025
- we all deserve more than
- to have it all...
- 1206
- 01:29:27,070 --> 01:29:28,936
- Stop!
- 1207
- 01:29:31,283 --> 01:29:32,990
- I could call into question
- the morality...
- 1208
- 01:29:33,034 --> 01:29:36,277
- of every invisible volunteer
- we've ever leaned on.
- 1209
- 01:29:36,329 --> 01:29:38,349
- This one hits his children,
- that one's on the whiskey...
- 1210
- 01:29:38,373 --> 01:29:41,366
- this one, didn't you hear, he
- cheats on the Times crossword.
- 1211
- 01:29:41,418 --> 01:29:42,784
- Remove the blaggard
- from the list.
- 1212
- 01:29:42,836 --> 01:29:45,078
- He is a murderer! He lied
- to you.
- 1213
- 01:29:45,130 --> 01:29:49,170
- Have you never lied?
- Have you not?
- 1214
- 01:29:53,221 --> 01:29:57,636
- What are you so afraid of, that
- a bad man can be redeemed?
- 1215
- 01:29:57,684 --> 01:30:00,267
- Isn't that what we believe, what
- we whisper to our children...
- 1216
- 01:30:00,312 --> 01:30:03,055
- at night, what we pray for?
- Forgiveness.
- 1217
- 01:30:03,106 --> 01:30:05,814
- I don't know who you're
- preaching to.
- 1218
- 01:30:05,859 --> 01:30:07,225
- Neither do I.
- 1219
- 01:30:09,613 --> 01:30:13,106
- "Thus they in lowliest plight
- repentant stood praying...
- 1220
- 01:30:13,158 --> 01:30:16,617
- from the mercy seat above,
- prevenient grace descending...
- 1221

- had removed the stony from their
- hearts and made new flesh".
- 1222
- 01:30:19,706 --> 01:30:23,245
- Milton, Paradise Lost,
- prevenient grace, Ada.

- What is that?
- 1227
- 01:30:38,892 --> 01:30:43,762
- A note, from the widow, asking
- the question of the killer.
- 1228
- 01:31:02,123 --> 01:31:05,457
- "Assythment - satisfaction
- for an injury done.

- indemnification.

- 1232
- 01:31:15,011 --> 01:31:17,128

- 01:35:41,611 --> 01:35:44,194
- you, the big book, the widow
- Merrett.
- 1282
- 01:35:44,239 --> 01:35:47,107
- There's nothing I can do
- about it now.
- 1283
- 01:35:47,158 --> 01:35:49,946
- I just wanted to give you
- fair warning.
- 1284
- 01:35:55,375 --> 01:35:59,460
- But these... I haven't given'em
- to the paper.
- 1285
- 01:36:01,297 --> 01:36:04,165
- I thought, maybe, you should
- hold on to them.
- 1286
- 01:36:06,344 --> 01:36:08,882
- It looks like he's in a bad way,
- sir.
- 1287
- 01:36:17,772 --> 01:36:19,263
- Mother!
- 1288
- 01:36:19,315 --> 01:36:21,932
- No, no... go upstairs and play up
- there.
- 1289
- 01:36:41,754 --> 01:36:42,961
- James.
- 1290
- 01:36:53,850 --> 01:36:58,015
- If I may say, sir, between you
- and me, I've been concerned...
- 1291
- 01:36:58,062 --> 01:37:01,146
- about some of Dr. Brayn's
- medical techniques.
- 1292
- 01:37:05,069 --> 01:37:07,982
- We had to take precautions.
- 1293
- 01:37:08,031 --> 01:37:14,369
- William? It's James, William.
- 1294
- 01:37:14,412 --> 01:37:15,823
- William.
- 1295
- 01:37:15,872 --> 01:37:19,161
- It's no use, I'm afraid.
- He's not here.
- 1296
- 01:37:19,208 --> 01:37:22,497
- I don't know where he is,
- but he's not here.
- 1297
- 01:37:28,509 --> 01:37:29,966
- Wait for me outside.
- 1298
- 01:37:30,011 --> 01:37:31,798
- Dr. Murray, I must ask that you
- inform me...
- 1299
- 01:37:31,846 --> 01:37:33,712
- before you pay a visit.
- 1300
- 01:37:33,765 --> 01:37:35,381
- I came as soon as I knew.
- 1301
- 01:37:35,433 --> 01:37:38,642
- Yes, but it's not a club, sir,
- this is a medical facility.
- 1302
- 01:37:38,686 --> 01:37:40,518
- Dr. Minor is a patient
- in my care.
- 1303
- 01:37:40,563 --> 01:37:41,665
- He is my friend, my brother.
- 1304
- 01:37:41,689 --> 01:37:42,975
- Yes, he's my friend, as well.
- 1305
- 01:37:43,024 --> 01:37:45,232
- And he's one of the bravest men
- I have ever known.
- 1306
- 01:37:45,276 --> 01:37:48,815
- However, this is severe
- catalepsy.
- 1307
- 01:37:48,863 --> 01:37:50,195
- It's a fair question...
- 1308
- 01:37:50,239 --> 01:37:53,277
- whether or not the soul has
- already left the vessel.
- 1309
- 01:37:54,911 --> 01:37:57,745
- "Divided from himself and his
- fair judgment...
- 1310
- 01:37:57,789 --> 01:38:03,626
- without which we are pictures
- or mere beasts."
- 1311
- 01:38:03,669 --> 01:38:06,161
- How could this have happened?
- 1312
- 01:38:08,257 --> 01:38:10,214
- I must ask you to leave
- immediately.
- 1313
- 01:38:10,259 --> 01:38:11,966
- No, he doesn't belong here,
- not like this.
- 1314
- 01:38:12,011 --> 01:38:13,614
- On the contrary, he does not
- belong anywhere else.
- 1315
- 01:38:13,638 --> 01:38:15,115
- Please allow us to get on
- with our work.
- 1316
- 01:38:15,139 --> 01:38:18,723
- We have a great deal to do.
- It's alright, William.
- 1317
- 01:38:18,768 --> 01:38:22,057
- Please! It's alright, William...
- 1318
- 01:38:22,105 --> 01:38:28,102
- it's alright, William,
- it's all right.
- 1319
- 01:38:30,405 --> 01:38:33,989
- The last 400 years have been
- defined by his quotes alone.
- 1320
- 01:38:36,119 --> 01:38:39,487
- We were at our darkest moment.
- He gave us life.
- 1321
- 01:38:39,539 --> 01:38:43,032
- I'm asking for your help here,
- Ben.
- 1322
- 01:38:43,084 --> 01:38:45,451
- To tell the truth of what
- he's done.
- 1323
- 01:38:45,503 --> 01:38:47,415
- Let it be known, not this.
- 1324
- 01:38:47,463 --> 01:38:50,706
- My only regret is that you did
- not come forward...
- 1325
- 01:38:50,758 --> 01:38:52,294
- with this much sooner.
- 1326
- 01:38:52,343 --> 01:38:55,882
- What there is to be known has
- already been said... right here.
- 1327
- 01:38:55,930 --> 01:38:57,216
- Written. Didn't you see?
- 1328
- 01:38:57,265 --> 01:38:59,006
- But this is the life of a man.
- 1329
- 01:38:59,058 --> 01:39:01,141
- All that he is will end with him
- in that place.
- 1330
- 01:39:01,185 --> 01:39:04,053
- And he is where he should be.
- 1331
- 01:39:04,105 --> 01:39:06,017
- What use an act
- of pointless charity?
- 1332
- 01:39:06,065 --> 01:39:07,556
- Then I resign.
- 1333
- 01:39:07,608 --> 01:39:10,442
- There will be no need for such
- theatrics.
- 1334
- 01:39:10,486 --> 01:39:13,320
- William Minor will be struck
- from all acknowledgments.
- 1335
- 01:39:13,364 --> 01:39:16,323
- You are to be welcomed, for as
- long as you like...
- 1336
- 01:39:16,367 --> 01:39:18,609
- as a contributor to the
- dictionary.
- 1337
- 01:39:18,661 --> 01:39:21,119
- The editorship will pass
- immediately to Bradley.
- 1338
- 01:39:21,164 --> 01:39:23,872
- I will be proposing this at
- an emergency meeting...
- 1339
- 01:39:23,916 --> 01:39:25,578
- of the delegates this afternoon.
- 1340
- 01:39:25,626 --> 01:39:28,664
- I do not expect any dissent.
- 1341
- 01:39:28,713 --> 01:39:30,500
- I won't thieve any more
- of your time.
- 1342
- 01:39:30,548 --> 01:39:32,289
- Nor I yours.
- 1343
- 01:39:49,025 --> 01:39:50,232
- Yes, sir?
- 1344
- 01:39:50,276 --> 01:39:53,769
- Is the master of the house in?
- 1345
- 01:40:00,495 --> 01:40:05,911
- James... is everything alright?
- 1346
- 01:40:05,958 --> 01:40:11,704
- I'm sorry, Freddie, I didn't
- know where else to go.
- 1347
- 01:40:11,756 --> 01:40:16,376
- I've lost everything.
- Everything is broken.
- 1348
- 01:40:21,098 --> 01:40:26,810
- I wanted to document the history
- of each and every thing.
- 1349
- 01:40:26,854 --> 01:40:30,313
- To offer the world a book that
- gives the meaning...
- 1350
- 01:40:30,358 --> 01:40:33,066
- of everything in God's creation.
- 1351
- 01:40:33,110 --> 01:40:39,323
- Or at least the English part of
- it, but it has defeated me.
- 1352
- 01:40:41,410 --> 01:40:43,993
- And now I've paid for it
- with everything...
- 1353
- 01:40:44,038 --> 01:40:45,950
- that ever meant anything to me.
- 1354
- 01:40:45,998 --> 01:40:50,038
- You know, there is another book
- that purports to do just that.
- 1355
- 01:40:50,086 --> 01:40:53,170
- But it has already beaten you
- to the punch.
- 1356
- 01:40:55,424 --> 01:40:59,759
- Come with me. Come, I want to
- show you something.
- 1357
- 01:41:01,097 --> 01:41:02,508
- I need me dunnage.
- 1358
- 01:41:02,557 --> 01:41:05,550
- What, with a sprat?
- How'd you do that?
- 1359
- 01:41:07,311 --> 01:41:09,849
- Dunnage? Sprat? Blag?
- 1360
- 01:41:09,897 --> 01:41:11,559
- How many new words to replace
- the old?
- 1361
- 01:41:11,607 --> 01:41:16,068
- How many new words for things
- that have yet to be imagined?
- 1362
- 01:41:16,112 --> 01:41:19,401
- How many of them in your all
- encompassing book?
- 1363
- 01:41:19,448 --> 01:41:22,737
- No language can ever be
- permanently the same, James.
- 1364
- 01:41:22,785 --> 01:41:25,323
- Not if it springs forth
- from life.
- 1365
- 01:41:25,371 --> 01:41:29,115
- But how can the work be ended
- if not ever completed?
- 1366
- 01:41:29,166 --> 01:41:33,661
- You have given us its heart
- along with a great jolt...
- 1367
- 01:41:33,713 --> 01:41:34,999
- to begin the first few beats.
- 1368
- 01:41:35,047 --> 01:41:38,290
- Generations after you will
- continue this work...
- 1369
- 01:41:38,342 --> 01:41:42,256
- because you have showed them
- the way.
- 1370
- 01:41:42,305 --> 01:41:44,718
- But it will never be completed.
- 1371
- 01:41:44,765 --> 01:41:46,006
- Let it go.
- 1372
- 01:41:46,058 --> 01:41:49,426
- Tend to yourself, leave the
- project to me.
- 1373
- 01:41:49,478 --> 01:41:52,391
- I have a few tricks for Jowett
- and his lackey Gell...
- 1374
- 01:41:52,440 --> 01:41:54,978
- that they have not considered
- in their maneuvering.
- 1375
- 01:41:58,696 --> 01:42:00,358
- Ada?
- 1376
- 01:42:01,449 --> 01:42:05,193
- With Bradley in charge and the
- University press...
- 1377
- 01:42:05,244 --> 01:42:08,032
- firmly driving the endeavour,
- we believe we can keep...
- 1378
- 01:42:08,080 --> 01:42:11,289
- to our desired target of 704
- pages a year...
- 1379
- 01:42:11,334 --> 01:42:12,825
- doubling current sales
- estimates.
- 1380
- 01:42:12,877 --> 01:42:14,413
- Thank you, Mr. Gell.
- 1381
- 01:42:14,462 --> 01:42:17,045
- Well, gentlemen, I believe we
- are all now...
- 1382
- 01:42:17,089 --> 01:42:21,049
- sufficiently informed to put
- the motion to a vote.
- 1383
- 01:42:36,776 --> 01:42:40,144
- I'm sorry my husband is unable
- to attend.
- 1384
- 01:42:40,196 --> 01:42:43,405
- I would like to ask permission
- to say a few words in his stead.
- 1385
- 01:42:43,449 --> 01:42:44,926
- Mrs. Murray, this is a closed
- meeting.
- 1386
- 01:42:44,950 --> 01:42:46,486
- I'm afraid you will have
- to leave.
- 1387
- 01:42:46,535 --> 01:42:49,699
- My family and I have given much
- for the glory of the delegates..
- 1388
- 01:42:49,747 --> 01:42:53,206
- Mr. Gell, I am certain they can
- give a few moments...
- 1389
- 01:42:53,250 --> 01:42:54,957
- of their time in return.
- 1390
- 01:42:55,002 --> 01:42:57,244
- Of course, Mrs. Murray.
- 1391
- 01:42:57,296 --> 01:42:59,504
- We are here to listen,
- please, go ahead.
- 1392
- 01:43:04,303 --> 01:43:08,092
- My husband has this silly,
- little leather parchment.
- 1393
- 01:43:08,140 --> 01:43:14,307
- On it, he's engraved a creed.
- "Only a most diligent life."
- 1394
- 01:43:16,982 --> 01:43:20,475
- Diligence. I looked it up,
- in your dictionary.
- 1395
- 01:43:20,528 --> 01:43:23,521
- Constant and earnest effort to
- accomplish what is undertaken.
- 1396
- 01:43:23,572 --> 01:43:29,409
- Persistence, application,
- but also, toil, and pain.
- 1397
- 01:43:30,746 --> 01:43:32,328
- Some of you think my husband
- a fool.
- 1398
- 01:43:32,373 --> 01:43:34,956
- Obstinate. Naive.
- 1399
- 01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:36,536
- Driven to what he is by fear...
- 1400
- 01:43:36,585 --> 01:43:44,254
- of what awaits us all on the
- other side, but he isn't.
- 1401
- 01:43:44,301 --> 01:43:47,339
- He sees the world, all of it,
- with its myriad choices...
- 1402
- 01:43:47,388 --> 01:43:50,176
- and he chooses to be what he is.
- 1403
- 01:43:54,937 --> 01:44:00,478
- Yet, two such men found each
- other in our time.
- 1404
- 01:44:00,526 --> 01:44:05,692
- My husband and his friend, the
- murderous madman.
- 1405
- 01:44:05,740 --> 01:44:12,203
- Together they have given us
- something extraordinary.
- 1406
- 01:44:14,039 --> 01:44:16,907
- I am here to ask you to take
- exception...
- 1407
- 01:44:16,959 --> 01:44:18,996
- to our prevailing natures.
- 1408
- 01:44:21,130 --> 01:44:25,545
- I'm here to ask you not to
- punish them for it.
- 1409
- 01:44:30,097 --> 01:44:33,306
- Bradley told me you quit.
- 1410
- 01:44:33,350 --> 01:44:35,842
- I did what I could in there,
- but they're a tough lot.
- 1411
- 01:44:35,895 --> 01:44:38,808
- We're leaving this place.
- We're going back to London.
- 1412
- 01:44:38,856 --> 01:44:41,269
- The book, it is not just
- yours to quit.
- 1413
- 01:44:41,317 --> 01:44:46,187
- It is ours, remember? Mine, the
- children's, countless others'.
- 1414
- 01:44:46,238 --> 01:44:50,027
- And they can, James, if there
- is love.
- 1415
- 01:44:52,536 --> 01:44:55,870
- I know the answer now.
- 1416
- 01:44:55,915 --> 01:44:59,499
- I know the answer to the widow's
- question.
- 1417
- 01:45:04,215 --> 01:45:06,207
- I want you to do something
- for me.
- 1418
- 01:45:06,258 --> 01:45:07,499
- I will.
- 1419
- 01:45:07,551 --> 01:45:13,639
- I want you to go to her and look
- her in the eyes.
- 1420
- 01:45:13,682 --> 01:45:17,847
- And if you see forgiveness,
- if you see love...
- 1421
- 01:45:17,895 --> 01:45:21,138
- I want you to help your friend.
- 1422
- 01:45:21,190 --> 01:45:23,352
- Yeah.
- 1423
- 01:45:33,077 --> 01:45:35,034
- - Here, my man.
- - Thank you, sir.
- 1424
- 01:45:44,255 --> 01:45:47,043
- He gave me that the last time
- I saw him.
- 1425
- 01:45:47,091 --> 01:45:48,753
- The last time he was lucid.
- 1426
- 01:45:48,801 --> 01:45:53,762
- They won't let me see him.
- Can you make them let me in?
- 1427
- 01:45:53,806 --> 01:45:58,426
- It's no use. He's not the same
- as you remember.
- 1428
- 01:46:02,815 --> 01:46:07,526
- If I've forgiven him, why should
- they go on punishing him?
- 1429
- 01:46:08,946 --> 01:46:10,173
- Thank you for seeing me...
- 1430
- 01:46:10,197 --> 01:46:11,563
- at such short notice, Sir
- Charles.
- 1431
- 01:46:11,615 --> 01:46:12,901
- Freddie is an old friend.
- 1432
- 01:46:12,950 --> 01:46:15,363
- I have to warn you though,
- Mr. Murray...
- 1433
- 01:46:15,411 --> 01:46:16,868
- the American murderer
- is a scar...
- 1434
- 01:46:16,912 --> 01:46:18,619
- perhaps one that is still
- too fresh.
- 1435
- 01:46:18,664 --> 01:46:19,950
- Perhaps this will heal it.
- 1436
- 01:46:19,999 --> 01:46:21,285
- Hardly so.
- 1437
- 01:46:21,333 --> 01:46:24,167
- Any politician espousing his
- cause is certain...
- 1438
- 01:46:24,211 --> 01:46:27,375
- to face public outrage, chances
- of a pardon...
- 1439
- 01:46:27,423 --> 01:46:29,836
- or a reprieve, are virtually
- non-existent.
- 1440
- 01:46:29,884 --> 01:46:32,797
- What price justice? What price
- mercy?
- 1441
- 01:46:32,845 --> 01:46:36,930
- Expensive to your first, cheap
- but unpopular to your second.
- 1442
- 01:46:36,974 --> 01:46:42,094
- Look here, levers can be pulled,
- get you a hearing.
- 1443
- 01:46:42,146 --> 01:46:44,980
- But if I were you, I would do
- all I can to find out...
- 1444
- 01:46:45,024 --> 01:46:49,109
- who will be called to it,
- and I would stack the deck.
- 1445
- 01:47:12,551 --> 01:47:17,171
- William? William, can you hear
- me?
- 1446
- 01:47:17,681 --> 01:47:19,047
- - Everybody out.
- - It's James.
- 1447
- 01:47:19,099 --> 01:47:20,465
- Everybody out.
- 1448
- 01:47:20,517 --> 01:47:23,260
- William, you need to hear us.
- Can you hear me?
- 1449
- 01:47:23,312 --> 01:47:24,581
- I brought Mrs. Merrett to see
- you.
- 1450
- 01:47:24,605 --> 01:47:25,937
- Leave him be!
- 1451
- 01:47:25,981 --> 01:47:28,268
- - She needs to talk, you need to...
- - Leave him be!
- 1452
- 01:47:28,317 --> 01:47:33,278
- With all due respect, sir,
- leave them be!
- 1453
- 01:47:34,657 --> 01:47:39,118
- William? William?
- 1454
- 01:47:40,412 --> 01:47:45,328
- William, I'm here.
- 1455
- 01:47:45,376 --> 01:47:48,164
- It's Eliza.
- 1456
- 01:47:48,212 --> 01:47:52,957
- Do you remember, William?
- "If love... then what?"
- 1457
- 01:47:55,719 --> 01:47:58,382
- If love... then what, William?
- 1458
- 01:48:03,227 --> 01:48:10,100
- If love... then love.
- 1459
- 01:48:14,697 --> 01:48:16,905
- If love, then love.
- 1460
- 01:48:30,587 --> 01:48:32,044
- Please stand.
- 1461
- 01:48:34,258 --> 01:48:36,591
- Do you know why you are here,
- Dr. Minor?
- 1462
- 01:48:36,635 --> 01:48:38,171
- I do.
- 1463
- 01:48:38,220 --> 01:48:42,715
- And in your opinion, Sergeant,
- have the circumstances changed?
- 1464
- 01:48:42,766 --> 01:48:44,678
- No, sir.
- 1465
- 01:48:44,727 --> 01:48:47,390
- Under what conditions did he
- enter catalepsy?
- 1466
- 01:48:47,438 --> 01:48:48,974
- Documented procedures of
- treatment.
- 1467
- 01:48:49,023 --> 01:48:50,434
- With the patient's agreement?
- 1468
- 01:48:50,482 --> 01:48:53,816
- Of course. Gentlemen, with
- respect, the matter here...
- 1469
- 01:48:53,861 --> 01:48:55,227
- begs a different question.
- 1470
- 01:48:55,279 --> 01:48:58,693
- Where and into which hands would
- misguided compassion...
- 1471
- 01:48:58,741 --> 01:49:03,076
- release him, there is nowhere
- else. This is his home.
- 1472
- 01:49:07,708 --> 01:49:08,994
- Thank you, Mrs. Merrett.
- 1473
- 01:49:09,043 --> 01:49:11,786
- Is there anything further you
- would like to say?
- 1474
- 01:49:11,837 --> 01:49:13,703
- Yes, I would.
- 1475
- 01:49:13,756 --> 01:49:18,421
- My husband didn't deserve what
- happened to him.
- 1476
- 01:49:18,469 --> 01:49:22,554
- He worked hard. Kept his family
- together.
- 1477
- 01:49:22,598 --> 01:49:26,763
- Then one day he was gone, and
- nothing could bring him back.
- 1478
- 01:49:26,810 --> 01:49:29,097
- What happened to him isn't fair.
- 1479
- 01:49:34,777 --> 01:49:37,190
- For a long time after he was
- gone...
- 1480
- 01:49:37,237 --> 01:49:42,323
- I didn't want to remember him,
- not even what he looked like.
- 1481
- 01:49:44,369 --> 01:49:48,079
- I want to say I'm sorry
- about that.
- 1482
- 01:49:48,123 --> 01:49:50,206
- He deserved more than that.
- 1483
- 01:49:55,089 --> 01:49:58,127
- My husband was a sweet man, but
- he could get angry, too.
- 1484
- 01:49:58,175 --> 01:50:01,464
- Once he got so cross, he kicked
- the heater...
- 1485
- 01:50:01,512 --> 01:50:04,630
- 'cause it weren't working,
- he put his foot right through...
- 1486
- 01:50:04,681 --> 01:50:08,766
- burnt it on the hot coals, he
- was limping for weeks after.
- 1487
- 01:50:08,811 --> 01:50:11,269
- One day he caught Jack behind
- him, hopping along...
- 1488
- 01:50:11,313 --> 01:50:16,399
- all hobbled and all, like him,
- do you remember?
- 1489
- 01:50:16,443 --> 01:50:23,361
- He looked at Jack, and he
- started to laugh.
- 1490
- 01:50:24,493 --> 01:50:27,827
- He laughed so hard hobbling,
- he nearly fell over.
- 1491
- 01:50:27,871 --> 01:50:31,660
- I think that's why he was often
- so cross.
- 1492
- 01:50:31,708 --> 01:50:36,123
- It's cause he wanted his babies,
- you were all his babies...
- 1493
- 01:50:36,171 --> 01:50:39,539
- he wanted them to make him
- laugh.
- 1494
- 01:50:43,929 --> 01:50:48,264
- I think if George was here now,
- he'd think all this is unfair.
- 1495
- 01:50:48,308 --> 01:50:52,973
- I think this would make him
- angry.
- 1496
- 01:50:53,021 --> 01:50:55,934
- He wouldn't have a lot of fancy
- words to say about it.
- 1497
- 01:50:55,983 --> 01:51:00,353
- But I know he would want it
- to stop.
- 1498
- 01:51:06,660 --> 01:51:09,323
- Sir, please, a moment of your
- time.
- 1499
- 01:51:09,371 --> 01:51:11,909
- I will deliver my report in two
- days. You will know then.
- 1500
- 01:51:11,957 --> 01:51:14,165
- We are not asking for your
- full deliberation.
- 1501
- 01:51:14,209 --> 01:51:16,417
- Just a hint at which way you
- lean.
- 1502
- 01:51:16,461 --> 01:51:17,793
- Release will be denied.
- 1503
- 01:51:17,838 --> 01:51:19,420
- The particulars of his
- treatment...
- 1504
- 01:51:19,464 --> 01:51:21,672
- that have come to light are
- troubling...
- 1505
- 01:51:21,717 --> 01:51:23,253
- Is that not enough to...
- 1506
- 01:51:23,302 --> 01:51:26,215
- But they are an indictment of
- the entire criminally insane...
- 1507
- 01:51:26,263 --> 01:51:29,222
- system of which this board is
- not a competent judge.
- 1508
- 01:51:29,266 --> 01:51:31,303
- Dr. Minor is a severely
- disturbed man.
- 1509
- 01:51:31,351 --> 01:51:33,092
- For his own safety, the
- recommendation...
- 1510
- 01:51:33,145 --> 01:51:35,728
- cannot be given to release him
- into the open.
- 1511
- 01:51:35,772 --> 01:51:37,638
- Sir, is there no other way?
- 1512
- 01:51:37,691 --> 01:51:40,399
- Whatever you intend to do,
- Dr. Murray, you have one day.
- 1513
- 01:51:40,444 --> 01:51:43,528
- Then I have to submit my report.
- 1514
- 01:51:45,657 --> 01:51:48,195
- We can try one last measure,
- James.
- 1515
- 01:51:48,243 --> 01:51:52,078
- But you had better be prepared
- to lay it all on.
- 1516
- 01:51:52,456 --> 01:51:53,697
- Your timing couldn't be worse.
- 1517
- 01:51:53,749 --> 01:51:55,661
- An armed gang of Latvians have
- holed up...
- 1518
- 01:51:55,709 --> 01:51:56,995
- in a building on Sidney Street.
- 1519
- 01:51:57,044 --> 01:51:58,706
- The Scots Guards have it
- surrounded...
- 1520
- 01:51:58,754 --> 01:52:00,190
- and the whole thing has
- escalated into a siege.
- 1521
- 01:52:00,214 --> 01:52:03,798
- A bloody disaster, and it's put
- him in a foul mood.
- 1522
- 01:52:09,264 --> 01:52:10,846
- Wait here.
- 1523
- 01:52:29,159 --> 01:52:33,153
- I'm sorry, chaps, no go,
- bad timing.
- 1524
- 01:52:42,756 --> 01:52:50,721
- Sir? Sir? Mr. Churchill, please!
- 1525
- 01:52:52,432 --> 01:52:55,266
- Forgive me, that was insolent.
- 1526
- 01:52:55,310 --> 01:53:03,104
- I don't know you, sir. I don't
- know the sort of man you are.
- 1527
- 01:53:03,151 --> 01:53:07,862
- But the office you occupy
- permits me to have desires...
- 1528
- 01:53:07,906 --> 01:53:10,444
- as to the kind of man I would
- want you to be.
- 1529
- 01:53:10,492 --> 01:53:13,656
- Your decisions affect all the
- lives of this land.
- 1530
- 01:53:13,704 --> 01:53:18,165
- And I am here, standing before
- you, for a single one.
- 1531
- 01:53:19,710 --> 01:53:25,297
- A complicated, pained and soured
- one, but a life nonetheless.
- 1532
- 01:53:25,340 --> 01:53:30,256
- And therefore deserving and
- worthy and precious.
- 1533
- 01:53:30,304 --> 01:53:34,594
- If you believe, as I would have
- you believe...
- 1534
- 01:53:34,641 --> 01:53:39,978
- that every individual life
- deserves its own chance...
- 1535
- 01:53:40,022 --> 01:53:43,857
- please, hear what I have come
- to say.
- 1536
- 01:53:43,900 --> 01:53:47,393
- Please, sir? All right.
- 1537
- 01:53:54,036 --> 01:53:56,824
- I suppose I did say
- lay it all on.
- 1538
- 01:53:59,249 --> 01:54:00,990
- Charles?
- 1539
- 01:54:05,672 --> 01:54:07,834
- I will not release Dr. Minor.
- 1540
- 01:54:07,883 --> 01:54:10,045
- The prime minister won't
- countenance it.
- 1541
- 01:54:10,093 --> 01:54:12,255
- The public won't stand for it.
- 1542
- 01:54:12,304 --> 01:54:14,466
- Fortunately your lexicon
- provides us with the means...
- 1543
- 01:54:14,514 --> 01:54:16,597
- to conceal the unpalatable.
- 1544
- 01:54:16,641 --> 01:54:20,055
- What I will do is deport
- Dr. Minor.
- 1545
- 01:54:20,103 --> 01:54:21,844
- I gather he has family
- in Connecticut.
- 1546
- 01:54:21,897 --> 01:54:23,229
- He does, sir.
- 1547
- 01:54:23,273 --> 01:54:24,709
- I shall let the board know,
- should he be released...
- 1548
- 01:54:24,733 --> 01:54:26,474
- he is to be sent home.
- 1549
- 01:54:26,526 --> 01:54:29,644
- Undesirable alien... let America
- manage her errant son.
- 1550
- 01:54:29,696 --> 01:54:32,939
- Settle this matter, Dr. Murray.
- Go back to your work.
- 1551
- 01:54:32,991 --> 01:54:37,201
- The nation has need of you, and
- allow me to get back to mine.
- 1552
- 01:54:37,245 --> 01:54:39,953
- Thank you, sir.
- 1553
- 01:54:39,998 --> 01:54:41,958
- - Congratulations, doctor.
- - Thank you, thank you.
- 1554
- 01:55:13,698 --> 01:55:16,156
- May I introduce you to Freddie
- Furnivall.
- 1555
- 01:55:16,201 --> 01:55:19,490
- - It is an honor, doctor.
- - That is impossible.
- 1556
- 01:55:19,538 --> 01:55:20,904
- They're ready, sir.
- 1557
- 01:55:31,633 --> 01:55:33,499
- Ah, wait a moment, please.
- 1558
- 01:55:33,552 --> 01:55:35,009
- Yes, sir.
- 1559
- 01:55:35,053 --> 01:55:40,594
- I'll be right here, William,
- right over there. All right?
- 1560
- 01:55:45,856 --> 01:55:47,542
- That's good, and
- if you can hold on three...
- 1561
- 01:55:47,566 --> 01:55:51,185
- one, two, three.
- 1562
- 01:55:59,911 --> 01:56:03,450
- This is ours. Something to read
- on the ship.
- 1563
- 01:56:07,085 --> 01:56:09,873
- Does she know?
- 1564
- 01:56:09,921 --> 01:56:10,921
- She does.
- 1565
- 01:56:12,632 --> 01:56:18,845
- Tell her I... you'll tell her
- then.
- 1566
- 01:56:18,889 --> 01:56:21,176
- I will.
- 1567
- 01:56:42,370 --> 01:56:46,159
- Have you seen the latest proof
- of the front cover?
- 1568
- 01:56:46,208 --> 01:56:50,327
- You see, the fortunate thing
- about these awful people...
- 1569
- 01:56:50,378 --> 01:56:54,543
- is they believe in the divine
- right of rule of the monarch.
- 1570
- 01:56:54,591 --> 01:56:56,569
- Their system falls to pieces if
- they don't abide...
- 1571
- 01:56:56,593 --> 01:56:59,176
- by its silly intricacies.
- 1572
- 01:56:59,221 --> 01:57:02,134
- So, we use it against them.
- 1573
- 01:57:02,182 --> 01:57:03,969
- Your book is safe, James.
- 1574
- 01:57:04,017 --> 01:57:06,430
- You are safe at its helm for as
- long as you wish...
- 1575
- 01:57:06,478 --> 01:57:11,269
- or until you shuffle off this
- mortal coil.
- 1576
- 01:57:14,069 --> 01:57:16,152
- - Yes.
- - What now?
- 1577
- 01:57:16,196 --> 01:57:19,530
- Now and forever beyond, my dear
- Gell...
- 1578
- 01:57:19,574 --> 01:57:23,488
- Dr. Murray is the dictionary.
- 1579
- 01:57:23,537 --> 01:57:25,278
- Perhaps you should consider
- taking a rest.
- 1580
- 01:57:25,330 --> 01:57:29,995
- I hear the South of France
- is quite the place...
- 1581
- 01:57:30,043 --> 01:57:32,160
- for recharging one's spirits.
