All language subtitles for New Adventures of Black Beauty s01e10 A Question of Justice

Thank you.

When are you expecting him back?

An hour or so.

Hey, do you want to wait? I was thinking
of having a brew.

No, I'd better get on.

What's so urgent?

Boy, Bobby Wilk.

He escaped last night.

Is that right?

The boss won't be pleased about that, I
know.

Well, I tried to talk him out of it,
handing that boy over to you.

But you know what Mr. Coates is like.

If he hadn't insisted, I'd have just
given the boy a feed and sent him on his

way.

You don't have to look too hard to find
him, do you?

We don't live very far from here. I can
look after myself.

I have to get home.

Where's home?

Up north.

How far?

A day or two.

You can't walk for two days on this
foot.

Yes, I can. It's just a cut.

It's all right.

I'll look after you. I don't need
anybody's help.

help you.

Seems the boy escaped.

Your what?

Yeah.

Took off last night.

Heading back home, I suppose.

You know, you could just forget it.

I mean, let him go.

Prison's where he belongs. He's a thief.

Oh, come on.

You lock up a boy at that age, you'll
scar him for life.

He'll get what he deserves.

And if Carmody won't see to it, I will.

Well, he's out looking.

And how hard's he looking? Answer me
that.

Did that little thief escape?

Or did Carmody leave the door open?

The boy didn't actually take anything.

Only because I found him first.

I don't care what you say.

You can't walk anywhere like that.

I'm going to get help, whether you like
it or not. No, you mustn't.

They'll lock me up again.

Lock you up?

I won't let them do that.

Why should anybody lock you up?

Why are you so frightened? What have you
done? Nothing.

Then there's nothing to be frightened
of.

So who locked you up? A man named
Coates.

Frank Coates? He's our neighbour.

I was only going there to find work.

And some food so I could go home.

I wasn't going to steal anything.

He got this copper to come and lock me
up.

Only, I got away.

It's not fair.

Nobody believes me.

I'll bring you some food and water.

And we better find somewhere for you to
hide, because whoever laid these traps

will be coming back.

I can walk if you'll help me.

We'll move you to the edge of the bush
for now.

When I come back, we'll find somewhere
safer for you.

you

What are you doing here?

I might well ask you the same question,
young lady. This is our land. Why

shouldn't I be here?

Depends what you've been doing here.

You haven't been interfering with my
traps, have you?

So that's yours?

It certainly is. Did you spring it?

Yes, I did.

I hate those things. They're cruel.

You've just learned to leave things
alone that don't belong to you.

You've no right to go setting traps on
our land.

Yes, I have.

I know Father never gave you permission.

I'm sure Jenny wouldn't. I had
permission long before she came along.

Stedman and I had an arrangement, so I
think you'd better mind your own

business.

What are you doing here, anyway?

Not camping out alone, are we?

I suggest you take your trap and get off
our land.

I'm not taking any orders from you,
young lady.

Where's the cheese?

Hmm? All the cheese is gone and there's
hardly any bread left.

Eh?

Honestly, with you three around, it's
like feeding an army.

I beg your pardon?

I said you must have eaten very well at
lunchtime.

Well, no, not really.

I wasn't here.

Well, Manfred and Vicky then.

What have they done?

They are eating me out of house and
home.

Ah, growing youngsters.

They need their food.

They must have hollow legs.

That's what your mother used to say
about you.

Grandpa says when people have had an
accident, you keep them warm.

It doesn't hurt as much now.

Your foot's badly swollen.

I don't even know your name.

Bobby walks.

I'm Vicki Denning.

This is Black Beauty.

I'll bring some more food in the
morning, and I'll try and find out from

how to treat your foot.

But if you do that, he'll know about me.

No, he won't. I know what to say.

I made your promise, and I'm going to
keep it.

amazed at how much you two can eat after
such a large lunch.

Don't Mr.

Coates have permission to be on our
land?

Well, that rather depends on what he's
there for.

He was setting gin traps to catch
possums.

Are you sure?

I was out riding beauty this morning.

I found one of the traps.

Anyone could have put them there.

No, I saw him.

He was angry because I'd sprung one of
them.

He said he had permission from Mr
Stedman. Well, he may have, but that

hold good now.

We certainly don't want those things on
our land.

I'll go and talk to him first thing in
the morning.

Couldn't you go and talk to him now?

I hate to think of those poor animals
dying in agony.

Well... And he might not be there
tomorrow morning.

He'll be out collecting more possums, I
expect.

All right.

I'll go and talk to him.

I don't eat much.

Nobody said you did, Manfred.

Now, come and help me with the washing
up.

G'day, Mrs. Denning.

Mrs.

Denning?

How many of those come from my land, Mr
Coates?

Ah.

I've been meaning to talk to you about
that.

Seeing old Stedman's gone, well, I
suppose I should start paying you.

I don't want your money.

And I don't want any gin traps set on my
property.

If I had my way, they'd all be banned.

If you did that, the place would be
overrun with possums in a couple of

There's no law against catching them
anywhere you like. Well, there should

So take it up with the government.

It's nothing to do with me.

As long as I pay good money for the
pelts, I'll keep catching them.

Not if you trespass on my land to do it.

I do hope I've made myself clear, Mr.
Coates.

Clear as a bell, Mrs. Denny.

Grandpa's phone.

What would happen if someone caught
their foot in one of those awful gin

Well, that actually happened once, many
years ago, didn't it?

I was lucky to save that chap.

You mean he nearly died?

Yes, he certainly did.

He was lucky to only lose a leg.

But why?

Well, those traps are always rusty,
dirty.

By the time they got him to me, the
wound was infected and gangrene had set

But if it wasn't that bad, how would you
treat it?

Oh, you'd clean the wound thoroughly
with boiled water, and you'd paint

it with iodine, bandage it loosely, and
allow nature to do the rest.

How long would it take to get better?

Oh, a week or so, if there was no
infection.

How would you know if it was infected?

You couldn't miss it.

There'd be a swelling.

The wound would be inflamed and the
patient would be running a temperature.

Hiya, Bobby.

I brought you some more food.

I'm not hungry.

Were you warm enough last night?

Yeah.

So hot.

Well, I'll leave the food. You'll
probably want it later on.

Let's have a look at your foot.

to boil up some water and clean this
properly.

I think it's infected.

I'll make a fire. I won't be long.

Morning, Mrs. Denning.

Morning, Constable Carmody. How can we
help you?

You wouldn't have seen a young boy
traveling through here.

No.

I escaped custody the day before
yesterday.

You'll be heading north.

Probably halfway home by now.

But I have to ask.

Tell me about him.

What's he done?

Vicky, where have you been?

I've been worried about you.

Just riding.

I won't be cross.

Besides, there's nothing you can't tell
me.

I promised.

What did you promise?

I promised not to tell.

Listen, Grandpa and I have been talking,
and I think we know anyway.

Suppose I tell you.

That wouldn't be breaking a promise.

going to be all right, Grandpa?

Well, he's not out of the woods yet, but
I think so.

He's very badly shaken, still quite
delirious, but there's no sign of

Thank God.

I hope you're not going to make a habit
of hunting down young lads as though

they were hardened criminals.

I was just trying to teach him a lesson.

And it was caught stealing?

Not according to Constable Carmody.

All he did was trespass in your house.

You have no evidence that he intended to
steal anything.

There are laws against trespass.

Indeed there are.

I warned you the other day about
trespassing on my land.

And I'm still finding your traps there.

I'll be dropping the charges anyway.

Let's hope the lad recovers to enjoy his
freedom.

Where's Bobby?

I'll get it.

Wish I had a horse like you.

I'm waiting.

You'll be late for the coach.

I've got something for you.

Close your eyes and open out your hand.

Bobby, there's no need.

Go on.

You can open your eyes now.

Bobby, it's beautiful.

Thanks for looking after me.

I'm just glad that you're better.

That you're going home.

I can't wait.
