(horse galloping)

- Morning, Miss Gordon.

- Morning, Mr. Jackson. Where's Jed?

I've got some medicine for him.

- You'll find him over there by the horses, miss.

- Thank you. Come on.

Come on, Beauty. (Beauty grunts)

- Morning, miss.

Come morning, Jed. I've got your medicine.

- Thank you, miss.

- Will you hold Beauty? - Yes, miss.

- Oh Miss Gordon. Keep well away from the quarry face.

We'll be blasting shortly.

- [Jenny] All right.

- Right lads. She'll blow in five minutes!

(fuse sparking)

- Good Lord he's got the wrong fuses!

(intense music) (whistle blowing)

- Look out! Look out the lot of you!

(whistle blowing repeatedly)

(music intensifying)

(explosion) (horses whinnying)

Come on! Look after that lad.

(rubble cluttering)

- What happened?

- Ah, the charge went off too soon.

I think this man's badly hurt.

How's that lad?

- [Speaker] Arm's broke, I think.

- Oh. Well you'd better not move them, I'll get my father.

- All right, Miss Gordon.

But be as quick as you can, will you?

- Yes, yes.

- Someone go and fetch Squire Armstrong!

Come on, give me a hand to get these stones off his legs.

(intense music) (beauty neighing)

(Beauty galloping)

- Father! There's been an explosion at the quarry.

Some men are hurt.

- I'll get my bag.

Don't let Beauty cool down. Keep him moving.

(horse trotting)

- How many men hurt, Jackson?

- [Jackson] Two, Squire.

This man's bad, Sir. I sent for Dr. Gordon.

(hopeful music)

(Beauty galloping) (Beauty neighing)

- How is he?

- A broken arm, that's all.

It's the other one that needs you.

- Hey, you've done a good job there.

This man? -Yes.

(man groans in pain)

- I'll try not to hurt you.

(man grunting)

I can't do anything from here, he'll have to be moved.

Have you got a stretcher?

- Yes, Doctor. - Please.

- Can you save the leg?

- If we get him to hospital, there's a chance.

- I'm going to the quarry to see what's happening.

- Well, I don't think you should.

Amy said we're to clear up the stable.

- We can do that later.

There might have been another explosion.

Maybe the whole cliff face has fallen down!

- [Dr. Gordon] Right. You two take that end.

- [Speaker] Right, doctor.

- [Dr. Gordon] Lift and be very careful.

Easy. Easy.

Good. Gently does it right.

- [Speaker] Right!

- Lawson. Come here.

I've told you over and over again

to check your fuses before blasting.

- [Lawson] It was a mistake.

- That nearly costed a life.

Well, you've had your last warning.

- You can't sack me.

- Can't I?

I don't wanna see you again on any of my property.

- I've got pay coming.

- You'll be lucky if the police don't prosecute you.

Now clear off.

All right, you men. No more work today.

- I'll stay with him.

And I'll leave Black Beauty here.

- Oh, don't worry doctor. I'll take care of him.

- I thank you Jed.

Mr. Armstrong, would you ride on ahead

to the hospital, please and let them know we're coming.

- All right, Doctor.

(solemn music)

[Squire] Out the way, men!

(horses galloping)

(horse pulling carriage)

(Beauty grunting)

(Jed exclaims) (dramatic music)

- Keep still or I'll brain you.

(horses neighing)

- What do you think you're doing, man?

- Just taking what's rightly mine, that's all.

- You can't take that! That's the wages!

- What do you think I came back for?

- Lawson! (music escalates)

Lawson! (horses neighing)

Lawson!

(horses neighing and galloping)

You're a fool, Lawson! You'll never get away with this!

- They won't find you till tonight.

By then I'll be miles away.

- Well leave the doctor's horse!

- You're crazy. He's the best of the bunch.

That'll teach them to throw me out. Giddy up!

(dramatic music)

(Jed calling for help)

- Here, lad! Quick!

- Jed, what happened?

- Lawson. One of the workman jumped me.

He's taken the wages and the horses.

He's got your father's horse, too.

- Beauty? Where did he take them?

- I don't know. By now, he could be anywhere.

(horses trotting) (mysterious music)

(Lawson cackles) (music crescendos)

(tense music)

- Come on. (Beauty neighing)

You're the best of the bunch, all right?

Worth all the rest of them put together.

(Beauty whinnies)

Aye! Get yourself right.

Just you behave yourself.

(Beauty grunts)

That's better.

- What are we going to do?

- I dunno, lad.

The tracks that are here are so trampled

it's impossible to tell which way they went.

Well, it's no good waiting for your father to come back.

I'm going up to hill to wait for Mr. Armstrong.

- Do you want me to stay here?

- Well, there's no point lad. You'll best get home.

Thanks for coming to my rescue, lad!

- [Kevin] All right, Jed.

(mysterious music)

(Lawson throws and catches coins)

(music intensifies)

(leash undoes)

(heroic music) (Beauty galloping)

(Beauty neighs) - Beauty.

Here, easy boy. Come on.

What is it, Beauty? What's wrong?

Where's father and your saddle?

(Beauty neighs)

Do you want to show me something?

(Beauty grunts)

I see. All right, you take me.

Come on, boy.

(Beauty whinnies) (intense music)

- Jenny! Jenny, what are you doing?

Where did you get beauty?

He's supposed to be stolen.

- Stolen?

- The man took him and the other horses from the quarry.

- That's what he's trying to tell us!

He knows where they are.

Come on, Kevin. Come, come.

(intense music continues) (Beauty galloping)

(music softens)

- Where's she gone to?

(music slowly building)

Wait till I get hold of you!

I'll skin him alive!

(music intensifies)

Where are you?

Where are you, you devil?

(music crescendos then softens)

- There they are.

- Come on.

- What if the man catches us?

- We'll have to risk that.

(Lawson grumbling in distance)

- No wait.

- I know you're there somewhere.

- Just keep him away, Beauty. Do you understand?

(Beauty grunts) Go on.

- There you are.

(Beauty whinnies) Come back!

(Beauty whinnies? Come back here!

(Lawson yelling indistinctly)

(mysterious music)

(music building)

(music softens) (Beauty grumbles)

- Now then.

Come here!

- Hurry up! (music softens)

(Beauty grumbles) - Woah, boy.

Woah, boy. Just stay there.

(horse whinnies in the distance)

- That's it. Get the money box.

- Oh, take this.

(music crescendos)

- Drop that box. - No.

- Drop it I say.

(Beauty whinnies and knocks Lawson over)

- Good boy, Beauty. Kevin, hurry up.

- Hey! What do you think you're doing?

- Come on. - Come back here!

You come back here!

Come back! Come back!

(horse whinnies)

- Kevin! We've left one of the horses behind!

- It'll follow us.

(horse whinnies)

- Steady, boy. Steady.

(music tiptoeing)

Right. (horse neighs)

(tense music) (horses galloping)

- Did you see how Beauty knocked Lawson down?

He never knew what hit him. (Jenny laughs)

(horse galloping)

- I'll take the money box back to the hut now.

(tense music)

Quick, hide!

(Jenny shutting door)

(Lawson banging on door)

- Give me that box!

I'll get you!

(Lawson kicking over tools)

(Lawson smashing window)

I'll get you!

Look, Miss. I don't wanna hurt you.

Just bring that box to the window.

- I can't do that.

It would be helping you to steal.

- [Lawson] I'm not stealing.

I'm just taking what's rightly mine.

- [Jenny] It's other people's money.

- [Lawson] Look, miss, you don't understand

about these things. I've worked here for nearly 20 years.

Today, I made one mistake and got thrown out

without a penny. Now I got a wife and family.

What's gonna happen about them?

- What would happen to them

if you were caught and sent to jail?

- No, it's gone too far to go back now.

Come on, miss. Just pass the box through the window.

Oh no you don't!

(Kevin tripping over) (Lawson running after him)

- Let me go! - Come along with me.

- Let me go!

- All right. Bring out the box!

Bring it out or he gets it!

- Let me go!

- I'll give you 10 seconds to come out.

(Lawson grunts in pain)

(tense music) (Lawson chases Kevin)

Come back, here!

Come back down here! Do you hear me?

(Lawson slipping down rocks)

You come back here. Come back down, do you hear me?

- [Jenny] Beauty! Help Kevin!

Beauty whinnying and galloping towards Lawson)

(Beauty whinnies repeatedly)

- It's all over, Kevin. Beauty's watching him.

You can come down.

- [Kevin] I can't. The ledge is giving way.

- What?

(rocks slipping)

- The dynamite must've loosened the chalk.

The whole cliff's crumbling.

- Oh, what are we going to do?

- Well, if he can't come down, he'll have to go up.

- How? - Call him off.

(Beauty neighs)

Look, miss. One man nearly died because of me today.

I don't wanna make it two.

(dramatic music) (cliff crumbling)

(mysterious, tense music)

- Kevin! Kevin.

- Come on now. Easy now. Keep hold.

That's it lad.

That's it.

You all right lad? -Yes.

(Jenny kisses Beauty) - Lovely boy.

- Get this place cleared up, Jackson.

- Yes, sir.

- Well, Lawson, what have you got to say for yourself?

- I dunno what came over me, sir. Really I don't.

I suppose losing my job I went sort of mad.

I can't help thinking of that man's leg.

- You'll be glad to know his leg is going to be all right.

- Thank heaven for that.

- Nevertheless, Lawson, you stole other people's property.

- But he did bring the horses and the money back.

- Yes, we met him in the woods.

He came back with us.

- [Jenny] And he did rescue Kevin.

- Yes. I'm grateful to him for that.

I can't think of what you were doing

climbing up there in the first place.

- Oh, very well, Lawson.

You're finished here I'm afraid

but report to my estate manager tomorrow.

Perhaps he'll find you some farm work.

- Thank you, sir. - Yes, all right, all right.

But now be off with you.
