there are some books to be taken back as

well you see send oliver with them yes

sir let me go i'll run all the way there

you are to say

that you've brought these books back

and that you come

to pay him the

four pounds ten shillings that i owe him

and you'll make him very happy

this

is a five pound note

so you will bring me back 10

shillings in change weren't you i'll be

faster than you thought possible sir

known as a good idea

hmm i thought perhaps you might have

something up your sleeve like

600 pound perhaps

i haven't got the money yet

yet

and then this yet

is yet tomorrow or is yet the tomorrow

that never counts

perhaps i should send the boy back

send him back to a warm bosom somewhere

in pentonville

i was going to do that anyway

i have something else

as valuable as money to me

to you

[Music]

by giving you this letter for security

it guarantees you

that i will pay you fagan

i'm trusting you with the proof of that

boy's identity

i'll lose everything this is in the

wrong hands

you're very lucky main monks am i

are you sure

for i will be hunk for what i have done

if this goes wrong

so we have a shared interest

well now you have to go mother

but what about the boy

i'm going to educate him

while i'm waiting

[Music]

in the ways of the world

much

much finer than that and my ears are

smaller and closer to my head

and i don't know whose nose that is

certainly isn't mine

and where are my gold race cuffs

where indeed

never mind

they won't be yours to wear much longer

will they

what's that

and you have nothing good to say about

the boy at all

can you talk nothing but treachery in

gratitude and malice that he's a thief

for the coward and clearly a fine actor

well

i hear you don't steal blind people

governor

but which of us would

it is all true and i should have known

this is not much for your intelligence

but i would gladly have given treble the

money if it had been favorable to the

boy

you might go now

no ah good day to you

mrs bedwin that boy oliver

is an impostor

it cannot be he can't be do you mean he

can't be

i'll tell you who he is i've just heard

a full account of him from his birth and

he's been a little villain all his life

i'll never believe it never i think it

is i who i'm addressing you

mrs bedwin

she was a dear grateful

gentle child

i know

what children are and have done so for

the past 40 years and people who have

never had children of their own be

silent

never let me hear that boy's name

on any pretense

under any circumstances again

never

[Music]

in fact you can go down to churchy right

now

but mr rhodes is in paris still we can

prepare for miss rose's right

but

it'll be another week mrs

[Music]

but you're sure

you're certain

it's a dark question to ask at this time

isn't it not only this time before we

went in but at my time alive

oh yes i suppose so mrs man

the autumn years

late summer

me

why should me

i have second thoughts

this is all i've ever thought about

you've never been married

but i've loved sir

i've known loves young passion and i've

seen it in others and may i say that mrs

mann and i are lucky for we do not have

it and i for one do not want it

ours will be the finest of marriages mr

sowerberry

for it will be a marriage of convenience

will it now

oh yes you see mrs mann will have

me

me

i will have her possession

you don't think you might have had the

honeymoon before the marriage do you

he's ready

[Music]

i'll go to help him

what have i done now

am i even to be in the wrong when i

sleep

yeah well

i mean i should start my dear it's a

start

the book is upside down but it's a start

hi again

come on

come on come out wherever you are

how long i've been here now

years oliver

simply years my dear

no i haven't

and then i said to the geezer

the only good thing i could think about

and was that he didn't rob from the

blind

and then finished him

finished him

he ended up screaming at this old woman

[Laughter]

[Music]

but

nevertheless now

no

no

what not even the man of your

skill and sophistication mr crackit

yeah of course i could do it

well there's probably no one else could

but tell me this fagin

i men like you with what you do what you

are you know the answer

what would you rather have

pictures and books

or

the chance silver and gold

you see i don't think there's anything

here pinville

fat ugly maid actually

tells me there's treasures elsewhere

but we're

fancier than i can't really thank you

a little lettuce window about five foot

off the ground shutters on the outside

yeah and a lot more yeah i've seen the

roof twice

the life out of you both until i know

clinched tied at her side

good

left in the ditch all alone

maintenance think of it

okay you always did in the digital his

young bones may rot there

you who loved those very bones of his

own names

i'll be glad to have him away from my

eyes and know that the worst is over

the sight of him

turns me against myself and all of you

listen to me

you call me oh oh not listen to me me

who have a word in the right place could

strangle sykes as surely as if i had his

throat between my fingers now if he gets

off free and fails to restore that boy

to me dead or alive

murder psyche yourself if you would have

him escape the hangman but do it the

moment he sets foot in this room or

otherwise it was too late why is this

what it's always

what is all this

when that boy is with

hundreds of pounds to me

and what to throw away what charge threw

at me because of the whims of a drunken

king

me bound to a madman bound to a madman

who is even there waiting for me now

and wants the boy even more than

did you mind me my dear

hmm

[Applause]

about what i was just saying

you must say all over again if it's

something i have to do and if it is

about waiting till tomorrow because

right now

i'm

stupid again

[Applause]

so

[Music]

the last time i did this

this poor wee boy was lying in a wild

fever in the bed of mr brownlow's house

in pentonville

and i noticed him then

and i knew him and i also

oh dr larson

please help him this is a good boy

that's exactly what my mother used to

say about me yeah

that's your handiwork girls is it should

have seen what bristles was going to do

to him

now let's see the damage

[Music]

would you say that there is a happy

manner waiting for me upstairs in the

drawing board

he's very happy fagin he's delirious

where in god's name have you been on

your business mother so

what has come of it

nothing

good

nothing bad i hope

for your sake and for mine because

you see fagin

i have the final piece of the puzzle ah

actually my dear i think you'll find

that the boy is the final piece in the

puzzle when um

well

well

well

i should go

you should

then i will

i should go

and i will

but i don't want you to

you should ask why not

no

then i'll stay

until mrs bedwin murders me

which probably means i've got another 10

minutes to live

well i won't come to your funeral you

wouldn't be allowed no

i'd be too upset

but who asked me

who told you to put the boy in the care

of armed robbers

god almighty fagin

all i wanted was for some boy to be

caught somewhere to be seen to be shamed

and sent somewhere else away

and now for all we know the boy could be

back in the arms of brownlow

i mean why why didn't you make him a

sneaking little pig foggy like the rest

of them that would have done

nothing to frighten him with which you

must always have in the beginning with a

child

a child must know terror no no not so

i have known terror

but victim and perpetrator and look

where it has brought me here

to this place

to you

what could i do my dear huh

that was hard to know the old man would

fall in love with the boy

i mean i got him back for you yeah and

now you've lost him again damn you

we'll hang for this

oh no

i don't think he will hank mr monks hmm

yeah yeah but i've got him back for you

and if he's alive i'll get him back

again and if um

it's not likely but if he's dead it'll

be no fault of mine if he is

do hear that fagin

anything but his death

i told you that from the first

i won't shed blood

it's always found out

and it haunts a man decides

but if he's dead and the worst came to

the worst just think how lucky you would

be that the boy were not alive to tell

the tale

i have to know if the boy is alive

and if brownlow knows he is

[Music]

huh

shadows of skirts

[Music]

i saw something

i saw someone there

it's your fancy monks

a flight to fancy that's all

what are we going to do fagin

about the shadows the skirts the cloak

about the boy

we

you have to be brave my dear

face those shadows

face those ghosts

[Music]

and once you face them you'll find

nothing at the end of here

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you
