All language subtitles for New Adventures of Black Beauty s01e18 Greed Fever

King Henry VIII, 1509 to 1547.

King Edward VI, 1540.

Our journey's over.

Ezekiel, we must rest, or else the whole
flock will die.

We're trespassing, Hannah.

Caleb, come along.

Please, Lord, give us a little more
strength.

Who are they, beauty?

She's a pommie, you say? From the old
country, yes, sir.

A pommie, a woman and a vet.

Like it's been made to order, Bernard.
Yes, sir. Made to order.

For what?

Don't disappoint me, Bernie.

Oh, no, sir. The scheme.

I know. I do nothing. I say nothing.

I've got it. You leave everything to me.

Sure as apples, guv.

Why do I worry when you've found so
confident?

Why would Mr.

Snape be going to see Jenny?

You'll be able to see the bull today,
then, Mrs. Denny. This afternoon.

It's a pleasure doing business with you.
And with you.

Do you know my place?

Yes, I've seen it a few times, Mr Snape.

It's quite impressive.

So is your reputation, Mrs Denning. I
only hire the best.

Good day. Good day, Mr Snape.

You shook his hand.

I was being polite.

You don't like him.

Vicky, I'm going to inspect his new
bull.

I'm not going to marry him.

I don't see why you're so happy about
it.

He's one of the most important men in
the district.

The fact that he's decided to use me
means that I'm finally accepted by

everyone, including all the established
landowners.

Very good indeed, my dear.
Congratulations.

Why hasn't he used you before?

Well, he hasn't needed me before.

Apparently, the man who did all his
veterinary work has just left him.

Why he wants us all inspected after he's
bought it.

Yes.

I don't know.

Well, perhaps Mr. Snape isn't as
intelligent as you, Vicki.

I'm sorry.

Thanks anyway.

Second lad I've had this week from
Stoney Valley wanting work.

Poor Blythe, isn't he? Won't be the
last.

I suppose most of the farmers will be
selling up.

Is that because of the drought?

That and the bushfire. It's taken every
last garrick of fodder.

It's never a good farming area. It's dry
even in the best of seasons.

Hilda?

What's Mr Snape doing here?

Oh, he'll be getting Samuel into
trouble, he will.

You don't like him?

Arthur Snape thinks he runs this place.

And the trouble is, he practically does.

Beyond the law, he is.

When he says jump, why, Samuel says, how
high?

He's asked Jenny to inspect his new
ball.

Has he?

Well, she'd better keep her wits about
her.

But she will.

Only Samuel who never learns.

He's a perfect specimen, Mr. Fulter.

Mr. Snape will be real pleased to hear
you say that.

Where's he from?

He's a local fella. That's it, boy.

He's in excellent condition. You've got
nothing to worry about.

Good, that's good.

I didn't know anyone local was selling
cattle. Local? No, no, he's from Stanley

Valley. But he said that... He's not the
brightest out, Bernie.

Should get rid of him, but he'd be lost
without me. You know the type.

Your loyalty is commendable, Mr Snape.
Nothing, really.

Well, thank you for your trouble, Mrs
Denham.

No trouble at all, Mr Snape.

Good day.

I told you to say it was from Stony
Valley.

Haven't got a clue, have you?

Ah,

Mrs. Denning.

You saved me a trip.

Good morning, Mr. Snape.

Tell me, would you, where you got your
training to be a vet?

In some village school in Derbyshire?

I beg your pardon?

My bull is dead.

Dead?

This pommy quack comes out to my place
yesterday, called my new bull perfect,

and this morning the animal lies dead.

Black gut fever.

What? And she didn't even see it.

But that's disaster for the district.

Disaster! Black gut.

That's right, Mrs Burton.

Not seen in these parts since the early
days.

But now it's back.

Up from Stoney Valley.

It thrives in poor conditions.

Stony Valley, that's the source of it.

I must see the carcass, Mr Snape.

You're joking, aren't you?

Black Gut kills everything on four legs.

It's a plague.

The beast's gone, Mrs Denning.

Destroyed. I've got my stock to protect.

Come quick, Gubs. Some kids outside
selling sheep.

How old this lies?

Ten pence.

Two for ten pence. Look, Sonny, where
are these sheep from?

We're up from Stony Valley, sir. Did you
shift them by boat?

Over land, sir. That's why they're so
thin. We move them very fast.

Oh, no, miss. That's not why they're
thin.

These sheep are carrying black gut
fever. They must be destroyed

No, they're quite healthy. Just thin.

They're not sick. You have our word.
I've just watched my new bull brought up

from the valley.

before my very eyes.

Black gut is here.

Right here.

Look, sir. Is this sheep sick?

Is it, Mr. Snape?

I see an animal in poor condition.

You show me that it's carrying this
black gut fever.

She couldn't even recognize it and she's
the vet.

Precisely. So show me a symptom that's
not explained by starvation and fatigue.

Are you calling me a liar?

I'm asking you to prove that I am.

Stop it, both of you. The only person we
need to call is Constable Carmody. This

is a matter for the law.

You're

on

fiddle.

Right.

It seems, according to Mr. Snape, that
black gut isn't evident until the final

stages.

And not to an untrained eye. And
according to Mrs. Denning, the sheep are

poor condition, but they're not sick.
What would she know?

Give the sheep a feed, and if one...
What the devil are you playing at,

And if one dies overnight, then I'll
have to take action.

Overnight? We can't wait that long. What
if one of them escapes?

you could find them some fodder.

With pleasure.

It'll be all right.

The constable will keep his word. You
will be able to sell your sheep.

Some of them are too weak now to even
eat at all.

That gut fever.

What is it?

Well, there was something in the early
days.

Stock died.

But then they'd spent months and months
on board ship getting here.

And you can't necessarily tell me it was
one disease that did it. But you're the

vet. I gained my degree and experience
on the other side of the world, Hilda.

I can't know everything.

Well, you're busy doubting yourself.

Spare a bit of doubt for our Mr.

Snape. He's not that we trusted.

Is there such a thing as black gut
fever?

I seriously doubt it.

Why would Mr. Snape want to invent it?

Simple economics.

If all the sheep from Stony Valley are
sold up here, then the prices drop.

And Mr. Snape won't be able to make as
much on his sheep as he wants.

But he will be able to sell them.

His sheep are so much better.

He's a greedy customer, Vicky.

He's not concerned with selling.

He's concerned with making more money.

Then he can buy more cattle.

Jenny!

That bull.

Could Mr Snape have killed it himself
and just said it had a disease?

He could have.

That wouldn't make any sense.

It's a valuable animal.

Then if it's not dead, it must still be
alive somewhere.

I think you could be right.

What are we standing here for? Let's go
and find it.

Oh, Vicky, we can't leave the children
without an ally.

There's too much hysteria about.

I wish I could be in two places at once.

Jenny, I can.

You take Beauty and I'll stay here. If
anyone can find that bull quickly, dead

or alive, it's Beauty.

Thank you.

We've got some sheep to deal with.

Won't the constable know it's not
Thumpit?

I've arranged for the constable to be
called away.

Unavoidably detained, Bernard.

You're a genius, Mr. Snack.

Just looking after my interests.

And the district, of course.

What's this one called?

That's Mary.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary.

She's always wandering off on her own.

I believe she's got some colour in her
cheek.

Are you two letting the sheep eat in
peace?

Sorry.

Hold Smokey, Caleb.

Keep him close.

Please. I don't mean to alarm you.

I've just been called out, and I wanted
to make sure you were all right before I

go. We're very grateful to you, sir.

For giving our sheep a chance.

It's the least I could do.

Are they all well after their feed?

Oh, yes, they're very happy.

Smokey's Caleb's favourite. They're
inseparable sometimes.

Sir, if our flock is to die, then I
should like to do it.

To kill them.

Oh, let's hope it won't come to that,
eh?

I hope that little fella manages to
digest his meal without too much

Thank you.

Good boy.

You don't need to stay with us if you
have something else to do.

Only learn history.

I'd much rather stay here.

You know, if the worst happens, it's our
own fault.

We drove them too hard.

I wanted to beat the other farmers who
were coming up from the valley.

Sell their stock.

Now we're paying for our greed.

Were you so badly hit by the drought?

No.

It was the fire that finished us.

It took everything.

The house went up suddenly.

A lot of respect to Harry Mull.

But they didn't make it out again.

But it's all right.

They've gone to a better place.

Better than here.

Oh, cutie, it's just scrum.

Just a minute.

Tilda, Mr Snape's here.

And you'd better go and see what he's up
to, Samuel. Or do you already know?

Oh.

Tilda, we've got to find Constable
Carmody. Hold your horses, love.

We're going to have to have some big
tactics of our own first. Now, when I

you the word, you go and call the men
in. And they take the sheep and put them

into the yard.

That snake's bound to be up to no good.
And I don't want him doing anything on

my property.

Meet again.

like the rest of them are about to. Come
on, Bernard.

Um, don't you remember that we said we'd
get the constable firm, babe?

Burton, keep your wife out of it.

Nobody tells me what to do. Then it's
about time someone did.

Don't you dare threaten me, you great
big...

How about you take the kids inside while
we do the necessaries?

Before we do this, let us all pray.

Let us all what?

Forgotten how to.

As it comes to pass that our flock must
be destroyed, we ask that these sheep be

spared any more suffering and that we
might be forgiven. Hannah!

Your bull.

Black gut fever?

More like black heart fever, I think.

I found Mr. Snape's bull hidden in the
bush.

Hidden, no doubt, by Mr. Snape himself.

Black gut fever is nothing more than a
fabricated disease to ensure that Mr.

Snape can see off the competition and
then get a higher price for his own

There's nothing wrong with your sheep.

All they need is a little kindness.

And a lot of food.

So Mr. Swain bought all of them?

Oh, for more than we'd hoped.

And he even said he'd give Zeke and me
work if we wanted.

A good offer, do you think? I'm sure
Caleb could stay with you both.

No.

Our home is the valley.

We must go back before we can decide
what to do.

Ah, we're not staying.

Samuel, just wanted to leave you with a
few words.

Aye, we... That is, Mr Snape and I are
heartily glad our

suspicions have been groundless.

And we would just like you to accept
this small token of our... Guilt.

County dog pet.

Couldn't have gone to a nicer family.

Arthur Snape hates to be exposed for the
crook he is in public.

He'll buy his way out of everything. And
so... people admire him for it.

Come and sit down.

Well, perhaps we will stay after all.

Look at me!

You've all been so good to us.

Yet to think when you first met I
thought you were a heathen.

I didn't. I knew you were kind.

Brother.

I don't think having a brother or a
sister No,

you have. You have us.

But you're leaving.

No, we're going home.

Now it's your turn to give it up.

Do you think you'll stay in Stoney
Valley forever?

It's where our parents lie at rest.

And I think it'll take us a long time to
say goodbye to them.

And besides, Valley is so beautiful.

Not gentle like here, but to us.

I'd love to come.

Good journey, Caleb.

When you come, will you be bringing
Black Beauty?

Of course I will.

He's part of my family.

Thank you.
