That's just a trick so you can blab to the police.

there's a danger of gangrene,

that'll kill you.

You can go.

Put this note onto Black Beauty's saddle

and he'll take it to my housekeeper.

It'll tell her where to leave

the medical supplies that I require.

of our dauntless constabulary."

- Oh, what's that mean?

- The bobbies couldn't catch him!

- And why don't you say so?

- "Was apprehended in a public house near Willingbray

after a fierce fight."

- Cor!

- "Two men believed to be accomplices

escaped in the fracas.”

(Beauty chitters)

Something's wrong.

(Beauty grunts)

- They had guns, and-and their faces was hid!

Yeah, well I'm going up to your cottage.

You return to the scene of the crime.

(sinister classical music)

- We must do just as your father asks,

and he was most insistent that you should stay here.

I shant be long!

Oh, this leg's on fire!

(horse galloping)

- And I felt, I felt all the time I was being watched.

- Hm.

So, all we know is that one of them is wounded.

- What about Vicky?

- Well, if she followed the man

who picked up the medical supplies,

she's most likely a prisoner herself by now.

- Oh.

- Don't worry, Amy. We'll find them.

Come on, Albert.

- Right.

- You heard what the boy said,

don't worry, we'll find them.

and I can't do it on my own!

I'll, I'll, I'll be alright.

- Supposing you're not all right, what then, eh?

You'd better be alright.

He better be alright, doctor, for your sake.

Or you owe me.

(suspenseful music)

- I think it could work.

- Oh, you haven't got much time.

- Well, we haven't got much choice.

- All right.

So as we can risk it?

- Well, it's our last chance.

- [Bandit] Alright you?

Wake her up.

- Vicky.

- Mm.

- He's too ill, so you'll have to go.

- What do you mean?

- You and me, we're going for a ride.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

She stays.

If we get back alright, then you will both go.

- And if I refuse?

- Then you won't go anywhere, either of you.

But if there's only two of them,

why did they want three horses?

- But we don't know that there are only two of 'em lad.

(somber music)

Which way they go, Amos?

- Through there.

Will you catch 'em?

- Yeah, of course we will.

- Come on.

(footsteps tapping)

I'll cover the driver and the guards,

open up the back and get him out.

He doesn't need you anymore, does he?

This place is dangerous.

Half the police in the country are looking for us by now.

And he's left you here,

the scapegoat.
