you're still a married man

your wife is

she didn't die i'm having your child and

you're still married to someone else i

was 17.

i was

she was a lot older both our families

arranged it neither of us wanted it

we parted over 10 years ago gladly more

than but you cannot marry me listen to

me listen to me

this is the only chance i have to

convince you to say whatever needs to be

saved to prove to you

that my intentions were never less than

they were honorable agnes i swear to you

when i return

i'll be able to do all those things i

wanted to do

to give only to you

i'll be able to provide for you

for me

for our baby for us

i'll even have enough money to make sure

that

someone will no longer want to have my

name

because i'll make it to her advantage

and then we can go anywhere for all time

my father will find out soon

do you really want me to have to face

him without anyone

what happens if you never come back

i will come back

[Music]

until i do

[Music]

both the lockhead

and the ring

have your christian name engraved upon

them

and there

to the right of your christian

name is the name i hope i will

bestow upon you

my name

our name

a child's name

don't follow after me

go back some other way

right to me

i need you

we'll need you

and you won't be here

and not like this

[Music]

agnes

[Music]

i know

do you understand

i won't tell anyone not even the father

ever

well

perhaps not ever

fair and reasonable

do you think

very sir

absolutely

your carriage is ready sir

very ready

and mr brownlow expects you by nightfall

sir

my old friend brando

your mother went quiet agnes

as if she'd retreated

kept it all in

lost all her energy

as if she wasn't there

and then she wasn't

you are seeing dr critchley and that's

the end of it

[Music]

i think you're pregnant

[Music]

i know

what do i tell your father

nothing

i'll tell him

so

[Music]

mr brownlow's residence sir thank you

sir

[Music]

so

drama then

yes

high drama

i suspect little of it has echoes of

anything greek or even shakespearean

brown

come on

yes i know

i thought perhaps the day would come

when

someone else would come and i would take

it down but

and yours no sorrow there i would hope

and

and

those few people who from now on we

might still count upon us friends

what do i say to them

shall i pretend uh a sudden romance

a harried marriage an early child

and then reveal the untimely death of

your newfound husband

tell me agnes tell me what i should do

tell me

i can't who is this man

how was his death to be

i know nothing about his life tell me

about his death father please

tell me about his death he is not dead

he will not die oh of course he won't

and he'll come back and stand beside you

of course he will

and i left her brandler

i left her there and i would have left

her there to suffer all manner of shame

and dishonor upon herself

and upon her family the family of a man

i called my friend

you would have stayed

wouldn't you of course i'd have stayed

but i only go to rome so that i can come

back and when i come back god willing i

will have the freedom that only money

can bring the freedom to to fly the

country once and for all but this time i

will not fly low we will fly together

and never be parted soon soon

when i have money

well i have money edwin

and at the risk of making you walk the

floor at an even more furious pace

you're still a married man

almost the last word zagner said to me

that's what he'd be maybe a married man

that lawyer in town mackenzie he's a

married man no father and now you have

named and cursed the name of every man

i've ever met except for mr johnston oh

the one-legged lock keeper damn you

agnes damn you

it is not a laughing matter

not for me i'm not for you i'm not for

rose

oh lord maybe for some

but i feel as though everyone already

knows except for me father nobody knows

except for me

it's not your fault father

nobody could have been so fat at me as

you have been i had a position

i had authority i had esteem

what i am trying to say agnes

is that we bore as bravely as we could

the loss of your brother

and then of your sister too

and when

when your mother died

people had high regard for how i you did

i could send you away you know others do

oh yes they do out of sight

oh go father you know i will

how could i

send you away

i will be wrong

and i have lost so much

i'm sorry father

i'm so sorry

we leave for the country in the morning

where

they're like ideal

[Music]

i didn't want to get married

i know that

but you are

and you have only 17.

and you were the best man brown now why

didn't you stop me

why didn't you stop my father and my

uncle richard from making me marry it

was not the role of the best man to

prevent a marriage as a doctor would try

to prevent a death it is in fact the

opposite

it was the most wretched of unions

the marriage of convenience

the convenience of families

sacrificed in the name of trade and

commerce

there was no

love as i know love to be now

well

why do why do you smile am i being

absurd juvenile too romantic do you not

believe me oh i don't doubt you i don't

doubt you i've known you far too long

and before i knew you i knew your sister

in a time of hopes and dreams and happy

years of my own and i smile edwin

leaford

see for even now after

at this distance of time

it's still far too easy to recall

catherine leaford

and the love

that

that you have

your passion

brings back the pleasure and the thrill

that i once felt when i was not uh

solitary and uh

lonely man

sit on chop put the rest on

oh um

one last request no no no not last that

sounds far too far too fine but you've

got years left in you oh listen branno

when i come back i'm gonna sell

everything i have here everything

i've made a mess i know i have

but i'm going to take agnes away i'm

going to settle money on my wife and our

unfortunate son

more than enough for them to live on

more than properly i've written and told

her that mm-hmm

um

well where was i

you had a request i decided it wasn't

fine

and it won't be

but

if anything should happen to me and it

won't i know it weren't agnes child

yes

magnus and charles

but you need more i am coming back

[Music]

i'll miss you

but i always do

[Music]

[Music]

you seem like sir

i am

[Music]

why are we here father

[Applause]

[Music]

edwin

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

i can't see anyone

[Music]

come

a letter from england

[Music]

miss you

[Music]

your father's uncle his uncle richard

how many times do i have to tell you

does pot your father's sick uncle

a lot of them are sick

too sick to see me so they would tell me

i'd say can i come up to see you next

week uncle and they'd say

no i'm sick

this is the really sick one the one with

the lump the um

but it seems that your father's uncle

richard

has repaired to roam but with little

hope of recovery

is it

is it the lump and your father follows

him with great haste

and i know why

money

we have the money my father sends us

your father's money is not proper money

he writes

he says

that he will increase our finances

can

can i read the letter he calls it

reasonable and fair

but i don't think so

not the way i expect to live

does my father mention me at all in the

letter we only live the way we live

because of pretend money

i realized that that much i i realized

and as quickly as we come to a place we

have to go

having spent the money we only pretended

to have

and i refuse to live my life like this

anymore

so do i mother

never left anywhere except in the dead

of night the first dawn

never made a friend that i knew that i

would keep we could be an eternity in

the same place said but it would make no

difference to your hopes of friendship

but proper money

that would make a difference

how about the life i once had

before your father discovered the terror

of my ways

my father must have mentioned me once in

that letter your father goes to rome to

follow money

the only answer

is to follow your father

if rome is like paris or cardiff

i'm not going

very well then

i'll go

[Music]

hi my uncle

but he won't be going home

no he won't

how long

i'm a lawyer not a doctor i'm the doctor

not alone

uncle richard

it's edwin

so it is

you don't need reasons do you for the

money

you must know

i thought it might be my reward for my

punishment rehearsal young man on the

way through france of course the elves

go across the elves

i took a boat from marseille to napoli

and i don't need to practice anything

and shout at me if you wouldn't blame

you

shouldn't ask any boy of seventeen to

marry

especially a woman is

that

i'm a boy

recognizably mine as much of a victim as

i was

but now

and this is no concern of yours now

there is someone else unfortunate

someone who i love with all my

corrections

[Music]

when i said

not longer meant more than five minutes

[Music]

will is it really as simple as all this

there are no conditions now

you'll get used to it

um but first i'm i must go back to

england as soon as possible you said

um

what should i do now

enjoy yourself i mean what should i be

doing

making your own will

i'm sure you have your own lawyers back

in england but as a precaution mr lefort

you have a long journey ahead of you

i merely suggest

that putting your intentions on people

would be advisable

to protect your loved ones

of course

my loved ones

yes

[Music]

and you don't want to change anything

no

right

[Music]

you think i've been fair to my wife and

my son right

although

it doesn't matter it's not for me to say

where are you staying uh trasteverey but

i wouldn't stay there too long

but of course you're not

um if there's something you want to ask

me you know

[Music]

it's very unusual this world of yours

isn't it

in all my years i have never

uh i mean the stipulation if the child

is born a boy frankly

i don't care you understand i'm only a

lawyer it doesn't my position to care

that's why i was

am reluctant to make any comment but i

don't understand the conditions you

place upon this boy child you see you

haven't met my son

if there is to be a second son even if i

believe as i do that he would have the

good heart and gentle nature of his

mother i must have that safeguard

you see it might be me my bad seed i

do i need to explain myself any further

you didn't need to explain yourself at

all

this will be put in motion mr leaford

forwarded to mrs grimwig and brownlow

and you of course may

your uncle's villa releases yours for

some time to come

i would recommend returning at the very

first opportunity

well we shall

[Music]

[Music]

thank you you've been very kind mister

oh i think you'll find that i always

make a point of charging a fee for such

kindness

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

magnus

[Music]

so

[Music]

thank you for your letter edwin

i sent you a letter i didn't send you an

invitation father

father

i'm much better now

oh

it seemed perfectly appropriate edwin

what did

that i should be here with you

at this time of great grief

well

it was your

dear kind much lamented uncle richard

who brought you and i together

without him i wouldn't have had all

those years of the cruelest grief with

you and

dictionaries should contain your name

and particulars elizabeth

definition of evil

just your name and a brief description

malignancy

your name again

cruelty see malignancy see evil see

elizabeth leapfrog well i'm glad you can

carry a conversation now edwin

couldn't really speak when we first met

shame

how did he get in here too easily i fear

this is not an area or a property which

befits a man of your

newfound substance

i've been told that it's eminently

generous

considering

because you have read it haven't you you

were asleep for a long time edwin the

worlds were the only reading matter

written in english in the whole

apartment

apart that is from

your letter

the one beginning

dearest darling agnes

keep my locket close to your heart

the will

and the letter tell you everything

and more than i would ever want to tell

you still

you saved me the task of informing you

of my intentions

you didn't suffer alone you know edwin

your family forced you to marry me

my family forced me to marry a boy

a boy

no older than your son is now

and just as

inexperienced

and

i have no rich uncle full of regrets

upon his deathbed

my family wasted and spent their

fortunes

apart from some fool of fat religion

but who

who will marry me

who will i ever have

you would send me such a letter of love

oh

brother better than ever before the best

yet but please

please no on calls for i've heard it all

before dictionary definition deception

elizabeth leaford

oh well i tried

i had to try i will always try

almost anything

i said to edward when i received your

letter i said we should be here with you

whatever you decided to do even if you

rejected us both again we should be here

when you finally received everything you

deserved

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

so that's where i got it from

he's dying you fool

whole platoon

do something useful for once empty his

pockets take everything

i can't do that

[Music]

hmm

was always foolish enough to tell the

truth i don't

i don't feel well mother if a lawyer has

that will his will

we lose

she wins

what have we done to deserve that

oh we have to reach her edward and we

have to reach her first

murder now not by poison

not a woman's murder

i may never sleep again

but i don't mind

i don't want them to sleep

they'll just think it was a robbery that

went wrong

[Music]

and yet it is

[Music]

best not to tell bros i think

time enough to know such things

[Music]

[Applause]

if that's what you wanted but you stay

like that

you look like that

it may suit you

you may always have the same

lack of appetite

you may never want

want what

just one

know i don't like riddles mother

i get ill if i have to think but i do

you know i do

but here we are so near so close to

becoming

we've done the terrible thing you did

i just watched earner

watching is included in bad things

you can't say to a church open i only

want just your honor

but what would you do edward

if you became so rich

so very rich

so that everything

and everyone you ever wanted for i know

you do want you secretly want

what would you do if everything you ever

dreamt of could be yours

i'd have to think no you wouldn't you

just want to know what you had to do

and what would i have to do

i can't do that

you could

you can

i feel you have to

i don't

edward

the gallows call us but if i'm afraid

if i were to go you would go too

may as well deserve to go

and if truth if not justice be known

but you will

whether you deserve to or not

i'll make sure of that

um

i'm going to bed

[Music]

our father

who art in heaven

hallowed be thy name

thy kingdom come

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven

give

us this day a daily bread

and

and forgive us our trespasses

and forgive us our trespasses

no mother

you said

you said we were only going to scare her

uh

you like to kill things edward

i've seen you in the fields

badgers

rabbits [ __ ]

dying folks

pheasants

i saw you chase a swan once with a knife

in your hand

it wouldn't be at all surprised if many

a mongol has gone missing been found

dead after we left the

facility

you do edward you really do

like to kill things

only

things

god's creatures

i won't do it again

and how many times have you said that to

me edward over the years

and you always have

haven't you

but it's understandable

son

after what's happened to you

the father you had

the accident you had left you the way

you are

i hate

the way i am

it will change

the doctors think not i didn't say you

would change but that it will change

when this is over when you can go to a

place where no one knows you

or your affliction

all they will know

is the kindness and generosity that you

will bring

the gifts you will bestow

and they will truly love you

for what you really are

and your money

where

where would such a place be

oh

where the sun is hot

the seas are blue

and the sand soft beneath your feet

salon

the east indies the west end is

perhaps not australia

but a place where the natives know their

place

we're a young man

with so

much to offer could go

and be a god

[Music]

afterwards edward

you'll be surprised how easy it was

taking a knife to another of god's

creatures

i should know

and far far better than standing on the

galleres

while someone takes a rope to the both

of us

i have faith in you edward

i have seen how

powerful you are with those who are

weaker than yourself

swivel i named him this then has to be a
