1
00:00:02,365 --> 00:00:05,445
(gentle flute music)

2
00:00:23,205 --> 00:00:25,605
(tense ominous music)
- [Carter] Go on! On you!

3
00:00:25,605 --> 00:00:27,125
On you!

4
00:00:27,125 --> 00:00:27,965
On!

5
00:00:30,645 --> 00:00:32,165
(horse snorts)

6
00:00:32,165 --> 00:00:33,445
Up with it, up!

7
00:00:34,725 --> 00:00:37,565
Come on there, boy! Pull!

8
00:00:37,565 --> 00:00:38,925
Pull, boy. Pull!

9
00:00:41,565 --> 00:00:43,325
- Whoa. Whoa, Beauty.

10
00:00:44,765 --> 00:00:48,325
(horse snorts and squeals)

11
00:00:48,325 --> 00:00:49,965
- Boy, on you go.

12
00:00:49,965 --> 00:00:50,805
Pull!

13
00:00:50,805 --> 00:00:52,245
(reign cracks)
Come on, lad.

14
00:00:52,245 --> 00:00:53,445
(cart thuds)
Pull!

15
00:00:53,445 --> 00:00:55,445
(horse whinnies)

16
00:00:55,445 --> 00:00:56,765
Pull, boy! Pull!

17
00:00:57,645 --> 00:00:59,445
(carter grunts)

18
00:00:59,445 --> 00:01:02,085
(horse snorts)

19
00:01:02,085 --> 00:01:03,165
- Give him a rest.

20
00:01:03,165 --> 00:01:05,045
For pity's sake, put the brake on.

21
00:01:05,045 --> 00:01:06,285
(wood block clanks)

22
00:01:06,285 --> 00:01:08,725
(horse whinnies)
(Vicky gasps)

23
00:01:08,725 --> 00:01:11,485
(mournful music)

24
00:01:18,245 --> 00:01:21,805
(inspiring spirited music)

25
00:01:54,125 --> 00:01:56,725
(somber music)

26
00:02:01,525 --> 00:02:03,245
(somber music fades)

27
00:02:03,245 --> 00:02:04,885
- Well done!
- Whoa!

28
00:02:04,885 --> 00:02:06,645
- That's it. Good boy.

29
00:02:06,645 --> 00:02:07,485
Good boy.
(carter sighs and pants)

30
00:02:07,485 --> 00:02:08,645
- Thanks doctor.

31
00:02:08,645 --> 00:02:10,805
I'd have been stuck there till tomorrow.

32
00:02:10,845 --> 00:02:11,685
(horse nickers)

33
00:02:11,685 --> 00:02:12,525
The old one's finished.

34
00:02:16,685 --> 00:02:18,045
Come on, eh.

35
00:02:18,045 --> 00:02:20,085
(bird chirping)

36
00:02:20,085 --> 00:02:21,965
(gentle sorrowful music)
- How is he?

37
00:02:25,965 --> 00:02:26,805
- He's worn out.

38
00:02:28,765 --> 00:02:30,805
The carter's worked him too hard.

39
00:02:30,805 --> 00:02:33,805
- Yes perhaps, but it
isn't his fault Vicky.

40
00:02:34,725 --> 00:02:36,805
His horses really have to earn their keep.

41
00:02:41,885 --> 00:02:43,445
- [Vicky] Come on, boy.

42
00:02:43,445 --> 00:02:45,085
Get up.

43
00:02:45,085 --> 00:02:46,445
I'll help you.

44
00:02:46,445 --> 00:02:51,085
Come on.
(horse grunts)

45
00:02:51,085 --> 00:02:53,525
Come on, boy.
(Vicky claps horse briskly)

46
00:02:53,525 --> 00:02:55,765
(gentle inspiring music)

47
00:02:55,765 --> 00:02:56,565
Come on.

48
00:02:57,485 --> 00:03:00,885
Up!

49
00:03:00,885 --> 00:03:04,645
There!
(horse softly whickers)

50
00:03:04,645 --> 00:03:06,645
I knew you could do it.

51
00:03:08,005 --> 00:03:10,805
- Well, you certainly got
a way with horses, miss.

52
00:03:10,805 --> 00:03:12,605
- [Dr. Gordon] Still, he's a bad bargain.

53
00:03:12,645 --> 00:03:13,925
Where did you get him?

54
00:03:13,925 --> 00:03:16,525
- [Carter] A sale of old cavalry horses.

55
00:03:16,525 --> 00:03:18,245
I thought he'd have lasted longer.

56
00:03:19,565 --> 00:03:20,965
- What'll do you do with him?

57
00:03:20,965 --> 00:03:22,125
- I'll have to sell him for his hide

58
00:03:22,125 --> 00:03:24,445
and his hooves, whatever I can get.

59
00:03:24,445 --> 00:03:26,285
- You can't!

60
00:03:26,285 --> 00:03:27,925
- Ah, Vicky?

61
00:03:27,925 --> 00:03:29,845
- But you can't just get rid of him.

62
00:03:32,005 --> 00:03:34,325
You could make him well
couldn't you, daddy?

63
00:03:34,325 --> 00:03:35,325
Like you did Beauty.

64
00:03:37,325 --> 00:03:38,765
- Well, I'm not so sure.

65
00:03:38,805 --> 00:03:40,685
- If you want him he's yours, Doctor.

66
00:03:40,725 --> 00:03:41,525
For two pounds.

67
00:03:42,565 --> 00:03:44,325
- [Vicky] He's like an old soldier.

68
00:03:45,365 --> 00:03:46,605
We should look after him.

69
00:03:47,525 --> 00:03:49,805
- Um, no, it's uh,

70
00:03:49,805 --> 00:03:52,885
out of the question, Vicky. S-so, uh...

71
00:03:52,885 --> 00:03:56,525
Don't try and ta" me into it.
(horse softly whickers)

72
00:03:56,525 --> 00:03:57,325
No.

73
00:03:59,765 --> 00:04:00,845
Nope.

74
00:04:00,845 --> 00:04:03,645
(energetic playful music)

75
00:04:03,645 --> 00:04:08,645
(wagon rattling)
(hooves clopping)

76
00:04:12,205 --> 00:04:15,525
(energetic music fades)

77
00:04:19,725 --> 00:04:20,685
Hello, Kevin.

78
00:04:20,685 --> 00:04:21,525
- Hello, father.

79
00:04:23,765 --> 00:04:24,605
What's that?

80
00:04:26,165 --> 00:04:27,485
- Our new horse.

81
00:04:27,485 --> 00:04:29,805
- When you fix up a stall for him

82
00:04:29,805 --> 00:04:31,565
I'll come in and see him later.

83
00:04:35,485 --> 00:04:39,765
- Come on.

84
00:04:39,765 --> 00:04:42,445
(hens clucking)

85
00:04:44,765 --> 00:04:47,605
(Beauty whickers)

86
00:04:49,605 --> 00:04:51,045
- He doesn't look up to much.

87
00:04:52,485 --> 00:04:54,085
- He used to be a cavalry horse.

88
00:04:55,045 --> 00:04:57,245
- Why don't we let him
out into the paddock?

89
00:04:57,245 --> 00:04:59,405
- Well, he may have something infectious.

90
00:04:59,405 --> 00:05:02,125
We have to keep him away
from Beauty till we find out.

91
00:05:03,405 --> 00:05:04,565
- What's he called?

92
00:05:04,565 --> 00:05:05,405
- I don't know.

93
00:05:06,405 --> 00:05:09,165
(straw rustling)

94
00:05:13,325 --> 00:05:14,325
What about, Soldier?

95
00:05:21,805 --> 00:05:25,445
- Off you go boy. Off you go.
(Beauty whinnies)

96
00:05:31,085 --> 00:05:34,205
- Dr. Gordon, is there something
wrong with that grey horse?

97
00:05:34,205 --> 00:05:36,565
- Um, Yes. Yes, there is, Amy.

98
00:05:36,565 --> 00:05:40,405
He's um, exhausted and partly lame.

99
00:05:40,405 --> 00:05:42,485
He's got cracked heels and thrush

100
00:05:42,485 --> 00:05:45,485
and probably a touch of fever.

101
00:05:45,485 --> 00:05:48,005
- And somebody's asked
you to look after him?

102
00:05:48,005 --> 00:05:49,965
- Um, no, not exactly.

103
00:05:50,845 --> 00:05:53,605
I've, uh, bought him. Heh.

104
00:05:53,605 --> 00:05:55,725
Yeah. Bought him.

105
00:05:55,725 --> 00:05:57,485
(light whimsical music)

106
00:05:57,485 --> 00:06:00,045
(Amy sighs)

107
00:06:00,045 --> 00:06:03,125
(playful airy music)

108
00:06:15,685 --> 00:06:18,325
(Beauty neighs)

109
00:06:22,925 --> 00:06:26,405
(playful music continues)

110
00:06:36,325 --> 00:06:39,965
(playful music fades)

111
00:06:39,965 --> 00:06:41,925
(birds chirping)

112
00:06:41,925 --> 00:06:44,725
(Beauty whickers)

113
00:06:56,405 --> 00:06:59,885
(tense mischievous music)

114
00:07:06,205 --> 00:07:09,205
(branches rustling)

115
00:07:10,365 --> 00:07:11,445
- Oh!

116
00:07:11,445 --> 00:07:12,965
- Gotcha!
- Oh!

117
00:07:12,965 --> 00:07:14,365
(tense music ends)
- This is private property,

118
00:07:14,365 --> 00:07:15,445
Grange House.

119
00:07:18,245 --> 00:07:19,765
- I thought the house was empty.

120
00:07:19,765 --> 00:07:22,605
- So you just climbed in, eh?

121
00:07:22,605 --> 00:07:24,005
- What is it, McNeish?

122
00:07:24,005 --> 00:07:25,565
- A trespasser, Master Robbie.

123
00:07:25,565 --> 00:07:27,605
She'd come over the wall.

124
00:07:27,605 --> 00:07:29,165
- I only came to get this back.

125
00:07:29,165 --> 00:07:30,525
- That's all right, McNeish.

126
00:07:30,525 --> 00:07:32,245
- Your grandmother took this place

127
00:07:32,245 --> 00:07:33,965
so you wouldn't be disturbed.

128
00:07:33,965 --> 00:07:37,085
We can't have people wandering
in whenever they like!

129
00:07:37,085 --> 00:07:38,605
- I wasn't doing any harm.

130
00:07:38,605 --> 00:07:39,965
- Of course not!

131
00:07:42,325 --> 00:07:43,805
- Very good, Master Robbie.

132
00:07:44,765 --> 00:07:46,685
- I'm Robert Jameson.

133
00:07:46,685 --> 00:07:47,525
- Vicky Gordon.

134
00:07:47,525 --> 00:07:50,685
- How'd you do?
(Vicky laughs abruptly)

135
00:07:50,685 --> 00:07:51,645
- How do you do?

136
00:07:52,605 --> 00:07:54,245
And that's my brother, Kevin.

137
00:07:54,245 --> 00:07:55,925
- How'd you do, Kevin?

138
00:07:55,925 --> 00:07:56,765
- Hello.

139
00:07:59,085 --> 00:08:00,805
- I was ill for a while last year.

140
00:08:00,805 --> 00:08:02,805
That's why we came here.

141
00:08:02,845 --> 00:08:04,885
- I'm surprised we
haven't seen you before.

142
00:08:04,885 --> 00:08:07,045
- I haven't seen anybody
since we moved in.

143
00:08:08,085 --> 00:08:09,965
- Would you like to come to our house,

144
00:08:09,965 --> 00:08:12,445
and see Black Beauty? That's our horse.

145
00:08:12,445 --> 00:08:14,205
- I'd like to very much,

146
00:08:15,485 --> 00:08:19,005
but I'd have to ask my
grandmother's permission first.

147
00:08:19,005 --> 00:08:21,845
- That's it.
(liquid sloshing quietly)

148
00:08:21,845 --> 00:08:22,805
That's it, Soldier.

149
00:08:25,085 --> 00:08:27,405
Not very nice, was it, hmm?

150
00:08:27,405 --> 00:08:29,085
(Amy sighs)

151
00:08:29,085 --> 00:08:30,845
Whoa, whoa.
- Dr. Gordon,

152
00:08:30,845 --> 00:08:32,725
I'm going to have to speak my mind.

153
00:08:33,725 --> 00:08:36,045
- Well, I've never known
you when you didn't.

154
00:08:36,045 --> 00:08:37,925
- Well, somebody has to.

155
00:08:37,925 --> 00:08:39,125
I mean, have you thought
how much it would cost

156
00:08:39,125 --> 00:08:41,645
to feed another animal?
Not to mention medicines

157
00:08:41,645 --> 00:08:42,725
and special dressings.
- Well, it's a,

158
00:08:42,725 --> 00:08:44,485
it's a suffering creature, Amy.

159
00:08:44,485 --> 00:08:46,605
We must do what we can.

160
00:08:46,605 --> 00:08:48,045
- Oh, I'm sorry for it as anyone,

161
00:08:48,045 --> 00:08:50,205
but I've got a budget for all of us.

162
00:08:50,205 --> 00:08:51,925
- Oh, I, I don't intend to keep him.

163
00:08:51,925 --> 00:08:52,765
Oh, no, no, no.

164
00:08:52,765 --> 00:08:54,485
Just uh, try to get him well again.

165
00:08:54,485 --> 00:08:57,765
And then find a good
home for him where he,

166
00:08:57,765 --> 00:09:00,245
where he won't have to work too hard.

167
00:09:00,245 --> 00:09:01,445
- But what if you can't cure him,

168
00:09:01,485 --> 00:09:04,565
and the children get too fond
of him to let him be sold?

169
00:09:04,565 --> 00:09:07,125
(Dr. Gordon sighs)

170
00:09:07,125 --> 00:09:08,645
- It's kind of you to ask, Ms. Gordon,

171
00:09:08,645 --> 00:09:10,525
but I'm afraid I cannot
permit Robbie to go.

172
00:09:10,525 --> 00:09:12,085
- Oh, please, Grandmother.

173
00:09:12,085 --> 00:09:14,765
- I have said you're not
to leave these grounds.

174
00:09:14,765 --> 00:09:16,365
- Please, Mrs. Jameson.

175
00:09:16,365 --> 00:09:17,965
We'd be very careful.

176
00:09:17,965 --> 00:09:20,845
- You will allow me to decide
what's best for my grandson.

177
00:09:21,885 --> 00:09:23,205
- I'm sorry, Mrs. Jameson,

178
00:09:24,125 --> 00:09:25,245
I don't understand.

179
00:09:26,645 --> 00:09:28,605
- Robbie has been extremely ill.

180
00:09:29,565 --> 00:09:31,565
He was living in Africa with his parents,

181
00:09:31,565 --> 00:09:34,645
and they all contracted severe malaria.

182
00:09:34,645 --> 00:09:36,885
His mother did not recover.

183
00:09:37,805 --> 00:09:40,885
(gentle flute music)

184
00:09:44,765 --> 00:09:47,765
- I still don't know how
you ta" me into this mess,

185
00:09:47,805 --> 00:09:50,765
but we'd better be getting
back or we'll be in trouble.

186
00:09:50,805 --> 00:09:52,325
- Just a little longer?

187
00:09:53,565 --> 00:09:54,965
(McNeish scoffs)

188
00:09:54,965 --> 00:09:57,205
- Five minutes then. And no more!

189
00:10:00,085 --> 00:10:01,525
- Who is McNeish?

190
00:10:01,525 --> 00:10:04,045
- He was our handyman in Scotland.

191
00:10:04,045 --> 00:10:07,285
Grandmother brought him
down here to look after me.

192
00:10:07,285 --> 00:10:08,765
- He's really quite nice.

193
00:10:11,045 --> 00:10:14,285
(percussive marching music)

194
00:10:14,285 --> 00:10:15,125
- Halt!

195
00:10:18,365 --> 00:10:21,605
(marching music stops)
(Dr. Gordon laughs)

196
00:10:21,645 --> 00:10:23,805
Right, wheel!

197
00:10:25,365 --> 00:10:30,365
(percussive marching music resumes)

198
00:10:30,405 --> 00:10:31,885
(Dr. Gordon laughing)

199
00:10:31,885 --> 00:10:35,045
(marching music ends)

200
00:10:37,085 --> 00:10:40,165
Well done, Soldier. Eh?

201
00:10:40,165 --> 00:10:41,005
Here.

202
00:10:42,445 --> 00:10:44,765
I think we'll give you
a bit of sunshine, hmm?

203
00:10:44,805 --> 00:10:47,485
Come on.
(hens clucking)

204
00:10:52,685 --> 00:10:55,205
(birds chirping)

205
00:10:55,205 --> 00:10:56,525
- Do you want to ride him?

206
00:10:56,525 --> 00:10:58,045
- I've never been on one.

207
00:10:58,045 --> 00:10:59,205
- Well, would you like to try?

208
00:10:59,205 --> 00:11:00,245
- Could I?
- Yeah.

209
00:11:01,285 --> 00:11:03,085
- Try what?

210
00:11:03,085 --> 00:11:05,845
- To see what it's like to ride a horse.

211
00:11:05,845 --> 00:11:07,485
- Certainly not.

212
00:11:07,485 --> 00:11:09,525
What are you trying to do?

213
00:11:09,525 --> 00:11:12,405
- Let Robbie enjoy himself for once.

214
00:11:12,405 --> 00:11:13,925
Black Beauty's very gentle.

215
00:11:15,045 --> 00:11:16,445
He could just sit on him.

216
00:11:16,445 --> 00:11:17,685
- Just to see what it's like.

217
00:11:17,685 --> 00:11:18,965
Then we'll go home.

218
00:11:20,925 --> 00:11:23,285
- Just sit on him, eh?

219
00:11:26,925 --> 00:11:31,805
Ah, why not?
(Vicky laughs)

220
00:11:31,805 --> 00:11:33,045
- Don't be scared.

221
00:11:35,005 --> 00:11:36,045
There you are.

222
00:11:38,045 --> 00:11:40,125
Hmm, the stirrups are too long.

223
00:11:40,125 --> 00:11:42,125
I'll have to adjust them.

224
00:11:42,125 --> 00:11:43,405
- Robbie!

225
00:11:43,405 --> 00:11:45,685
(Beauty whinnies)
(Robbie yelps)

226
00:11:45,685 --> 00:11:48,405
(dramatic music)

227
00:11:54,605 --> 00:11:57,965
(gentle music)

228
00:11:57,965 --> 00:12:00,765
Can you not keep that
animal under control?

229
00:12:00,765 --> 00:12:02,805
As for you, McNeish, how dare you?

230
00:12:02,805 --> 00:12:04,525
What were you thinking of?

231
00:12:04,525 --> 00:12:05,805
- He's not to blame.

232
00:12:05,845 --> 00:12:07,725
- Yes. I know it's you who's behind this.

233
00:12:07,725 --> 00:12:09,005
- I'm not hurt.

234
00:12:09,005 --> 00:12:10,205
- No thanks to them.

235
00:12:12,405 --> 00:12:15,525
- You're blaming everyone
else, but it was your fault.

236
00:12:15,525 --> 00:12:16,685
- Don't be impertinent!

237
00:12:17,725 --> 00:12:18,725
- Black Beauty didn't throw him.

238
00:12:18,725 --> 00:12:20,365
It was you who startled him,

239
00:12:20,365 --> 00:12:21,725
shouting like that!

240
00:12:21,725 --> 00:12:22,685
- [Mrs. Jameson] That's no excuse

241
00:12:22,725 --> 00:12:24,525
for you to encourage him to defy me.

242
00:12:26,285 --> 00:12:29,245
I want you to promise never
to ride that horse again.

243
00:12:29,245 --> 00:12:30,245
- I promise.

244
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:35,525
(peaceful flute music)

245
00:12:37,005 --> 00:12:38,845
- Off you go, Soldier.

246
00:12:42,245 --> 00:12:43,605
Well, what do you think, Amy?

247
00:12:43,645 --> 00:12:45,565
- Well, I must admit Doctor,

248
00:12:45,565 --> 00:12:47,445
he looks like a new horse.

249
00:12:47,445 --> 00:12:48,245
(horses whinnying)

250
00:12:48,245 --> 00:12:50,245
- Rest, good feeding, bit of affection.

251
00:12:50,245 --> 00:12:52,245
That's what it is mainly.

252
00:12:52,245 --> 00:12:54,845
- Well, you've done a wonderful job,

253
00:12:54,845 --> 00:12:58,045
but it's going to make it
all harder to part with him.

254
00:12:58,045 --> 00:13:01,285
(upbeat playful music)

255
00:13:04,765 --> 00:13:07,565
(Beauty whickers quietly)
- [Vicky] 1, 2, 3, hup!

256
00:13:07,565 --> 00:13:10,125
(Vicky grunts)

257
00:13:11,085 --> 00:13:12,885
Take it easy at first.

258
00:13:12,885 --> 00:13:13,725
Don't tire him.

259
00:13:15,645 --> 00:13:17,605
- [Robbie] Come on, Soldier.

260
00:13:17,605 --> 00:13:22,005
Come on.

261
00:13:22,005 --> 00:13:24,805
(Beauty snorting)

262
00:13:26,125 --> 00:13:27,925
- Don't worry, Beauty.

263
00:13:27,925 --> 00:13:32,925
Your turn next.
(Beauty nickers quietly)

264
00:13:33,325 --> 00:13:36,165
(Robbie grunting)

265
00:13:44,165 --> 00:13:47,405
(bouncy playful music)

266
00:14:00,325 --> 00:14:03,725
(Robbie panting)

267
00:14:03,725 --> 00:14:05,925
We didn't expect to see you.

268
00:14:05,925 --> 00:14:08,005
- I've been trying to get away for days,

269
00:14:08,005 --> 00:14:09,885
but McNeish keeps watching me.

270
00:14:10,805 --> 00:14:12,245
- You mean they don't know you're here?

271
00:14:12,245 --> 00:14:14,045
- [Robbie] I climbed over the wall.

272
00:14:14,045 --> 00:14:15,205
- Where's McNeish?

273
00:14:16,285 --> 00:14:17,965
- He thinks I'm in the summer house.

274
00:14:17,965 --> 00:14:19,125
- [Kevin] Good for you!

275
00:14:20,205 --> 00:14:22,405
- We've been looking after our patient.

276
00:14:22,405 --> 00:14:25,445
He's almost as good as Black Beauty now.

277
00:14:25,485 --> 00:14:26,365
- [Kevin] Come on.

278
00:14:29,085 --> 00:14:30,765
Aren't you hot with that jacket on?

279
00:14:30,765 --> 00:14:32,685
- A bit.
- Well, take it off.

280
00:14:34,285 --> 00:14:36,845
We're just exercising the horses.

281
00:14:36,845 --> 00:14:38,405
It's a pity you can't ride.

282
00:14:40,045 --> 00:14:41,405
- Would you like to, Robbie?

283
00:14:41,405 --> 00:14:42,525
- I promised.

284
00:14:42,525 --> 00:14:46,685
- Ah, you promised not
to ride Black Beauty.

285
00:14:46,685 --> 00:14:48,645
No one said anything about Soldier.

286
00:14:49,925 --> 00:14:53,925
Hmm?
(percussive marching music)

287
00:14:56,925 --> 00:14:58,205
(percussive marching music fades)

288
00:14:58,245 --> 00:15:00,645
Now don't dig your toes into him.

289
00:15:03,085 --> 00:15:04,685
Right.

290
00:15:04,685 --> 00:15:06,925
Now sit up straight and
grip with your knees.

291
00:15:08,645 --> 00:15:09,685
- Yes.

292
00:15:13,645 --> 00:15:15,885
- [Vicky] Loosen your reign, Robbie.

293
00:15:15,885 --> 00:15:17,485
Don't try and hold on with it.

294
00:15:18,565 --> 00:15:19,645
Just relax.

295
00:15:21,445 --> 00:15:24,045
(gentle music)

296
00:15:36,805 --> 00:15:40,245
(Robbie panting quietly)

297
00:15:41,965 --> 00:15:45,245
(upbeat playful music)

298
00:15:54,405 --> 00:15:56,045
- Don't worry about Soldier.

299
00:15:56,045 --> 00:15:57,485
He was in the cavalry.

300
00:15:57,485 --> 00:16:00,965
He'll do anything you tell him to, watch.

301
00:16:01,005 --> 00:16:01,805
Soldier, halt!

302
00:16:03,965 --> 00:16:05,605
Left, wheel!

303
00:16:08,245 --> 00:16:09,085
- Marvellous!

304
00:16:12,885 --> 00:16:15,885
(branches rustling)

305
00:16:32,565 --> 00:16:36,085
(playful music continues)

306
00:16:41,005 --> 00:16:42,805
(playful music fades)

307
00:16:42,805 --> 00:16:44,645
- Is Robbie with you, McNeish?

308
00:16:44,645 --> 00:16:45,805
- No. Ma'am.

309
00:16:45,805 --> 00:16:46,805
- Then where is he?

310
00:16:47,725 --> 00:16:49,405
- I'm not quite sure, Ma'am.

311
00:16:49,405 --> 00:16:50,765
- Where do you think he is?

312
00:16:51,725 --> 00:16:53,285
- At Dr. Gordon's, Ma'am.

313
00:16:53,285 --> 00:16:54,405
- On his own?

314
00:16:54,405 --> 00:16:56,645
- He'll be with the
doctor's children, Ma'am.

315
00:16:56,645 --> 00:16:59,045
- You knew about this
and you didn't stop him.

316
00:16:59,085 --> 00:17:01,325
- Oh, there's no real harm in it, Ma'am.

317
00:17:01,325 --> 00:17:03,045
He seems all the better for it.

318
00:17:03,045 --> 00:17:06,325
- I gave you my instructions.
How could you let him?

319
00:17:06,325 --> 00:17:07,205
- Well, Ma'am, I,

320
00:17:08,045 --> 00:17:10,805
I just like to see the lad
looking happy for once.

321
00:17:12,165 --> 00:17:13,685
He was wasting away.

322
00:17:13,685 --> 00:17:15,445
- You know what they said.

323
00:17:15,445 --> 00:17:18,885
Any upset, any exertion,
could start the fever again.

324
00:17:19,885 --> 00:17:23,565
(gentle airy music)

325
00:17:23,565 --> 00:17:25,685
- You know what I'd like to do, Kevin?

326
00:17:25,685 --> 00:17:26,525
- What?

327
00:17:26,525 --> 00:17:27,805
- Row out to your camp.

328
00:17:27,805 --> 00:17:29,605
- [Kevin] You mean it?
- Mm-hmm!

329
00:17:29,605 --> 00:17:30,845
- Come on then.

330
00:17:38,325 --> 00:17:41,085
(canoe scraping)

331
00:17:43,885 --> 00:17:46,725
(water sloshing)

332
00:17:49,765 --> 00:17:52,405
- Well, yes. He's been
here almost every day.

333
00:17:52,405 --> 00:17:54,645
- So you've encouraged him to defy me?

334
00:17:54,645 --> 00:17:57,645
- I didn't know it was
without your permission.

335
00:17:57,645 --> 00:17:58,805
- Your family knew.

336
00:17:59,965 --> 00:18:03,765
They also knew that he had
severe malaria last year.

337
00:18:03,765 --> 00:18:06,245
I've been doing everything
to prevent another attack.

338
00:18:06,245 --> 00:18:07,645
You know what it could mean.

339
00:18:08,885 --> 00:18:09,805
It could kill him.

340
00:18:11,805 --> 00:18:14,725
(foreboding music)

341
00:18:19,365 --> 00:18:20,805
(foreboding music fades)
- Oh Vicky,

342
00:18:20,805 --> 00:18:22,925
do you know where Robbie is?

343
00:18:22,925 --> 00:18:23,765
- Yes.

344
00:18:24,765 --> 00:18:26,965
I think he rode down
to the lake with Kevin.

345
00:18:27,885 --> 00:18:29,285
- Rode there?

346
00:18:29,325 --> 00:18:31,485
- [Vicky] On Soldier, an old horse.

347
00:18:33,605 --> 00:18:35,285
He won't come to any harm.

348
00:18:35,285 --> 00:18:37,605
- If he does, I'll never forgive you.

349
00:18:38,645 --> 00:18:41,805
(foreboding music resumes)

350
00:18:41,805 --> 00:18:43,085
- Sit down, Robbie!

351
00:18:43,085 --> 00:18:46,165
- I want to try it the other way around.

352
00:18:46,165 --> 00:18:49,725
(Robbie grunts)
(water splashes)

353
00:18:49,725 --> 00:18:51,645
(horses squealing)
(tense flitting music)

354
00:18:51,645 --> 00:18:53,485
- [Kevin] Swim for the rock!

355
00:18:53,485 --> 00:18:57,445
- [Robbie] (struggling)
I can't- I can't swim!

356
00:18:57,445 --> 00:18:59,805
(Robbie gasps)

357
00:18:59,805 --> 00:19:01,405
- Help!

358
00:19:01,405 --> 00:19:02,845
Help!

359
00:19:02,845 --> 00:19:04,725
(Soldier squealing)

360
00:19:04,725 --> 00:19:06,805
(reigns snapping)

361
00:19:06,805 --> 00:19:09,765
(Beauty whinnying)

362
00:19:10,605 --> 00:19:11,765
- [Both] Help!

363
00:19:12,805 --> 00:19:15,005
(tense percussive music)

364
00:19:15,005 --> 00:19:16,245
- [Kevin] Help!

365
00:19:17,125 --> 00:19:20,765
(Kevin panting)
- Help!

366
00:19:20,765 --> 00:19:23,605
(Robbie gurgling)

367
00:19:25,725 --> 00:19:29,405
(chilling foreboding music)

368
00:19:37,565 --> 00:19:40,165
(gentle music)

369
00:19:46,925 --> 00:19:49,685
(water sloshing)

370
00:20:07,005 --> 00:20:09,565
(Kevin grunts)

371
00:20:18,325 --> 00:20:19,165
- Robbie!

372
00:20:20,565 --> 00:20:21,605
Are you all right?

373
00:20:21,605 --> 00:20:22,445
- Yes, yes.

374
00:20:22,445 --> 00:20:24,805
It was all my fault. I capsized the boat.

375
00:20:24,805 --> 00:20:26,645
- But Black Beauty and Soldier,

376
00:20:26,645 --> 00:20:28,285
they saved us, did you see them?

377
00:20:28,285 --> 00:20:29,125
- We did.

378
00:20:30,085 --> 00:20:32,805
(Beauty blows softly)

379
00:20:32,805 --> 00:20:36,325
- Robbie!
(dramatic music)

380
00:20:45,725 --> 00:20:48,965
(gentle hopeful music)

381
00:20:59,445 --> 00:21:01,685
- Well your clothes
ought to be dry by now.

382
00:21:01,685 --> 00:21:02,925
Off you go, and find Amy.

383
00:21:04,765 --> 00:21:06,125
Go on, off you go.

384
00:21:11,685 --> 00:21:12,645
(door latches shut)

385
00:21:12,645 --> 00:21:14,165
- I can't understand it.

386
00:21:15,405 --> 00:21:17,885
How could the fever have gone so soon?

387
00:21:17,885 --> 00:21:19,365
- Because it wasn't fever at all.

388
00:21:19,365 --> 00:21:20,285
- But it was-
- Oh,

389
00:21:20,285 --> 00:21:21,725
My teeth would be chattering

390
00:21:21,725 --> 00:21:24,325
if I'd spent 20 minutes up
to my neck in cold water.

391
00:21:27,205 --> 00:21:29,085
There's nothing wrong with him.

392
00:21:29,085 --> 00:21:30,845
- That's not possible.

393
00:21:30,845 --> 00:21:32,885
- I can assure you that
whatever he had in Africa

394
00:21:32,925 --> 00:21:34,445
it was not malaria.

395
00:21:34,485 --> 00:21:35,885
Possibly some other type of fever,

396
00:21:35,885 --> 00:21:37,805
but there's no trace of it now.

397
00:21:37,805 --> 00:21:39,245
- But he was so pale.

398
00:21:39,245 --> 00:21:41,565
So weak.

399
00:21:41,565 --> 00:21:44,485
- Because you kept him
confined to the house.

400
00:21:44,485 --> 00:21:46,325
Fortunately, the fresh air and exercise

401
00:21:46,325 --> 00:21:47,165
he's been getting here

402
00:21:47,165 --> 00:21:48,965
seemed to have completely cured him.

403
00:21:50,085 --> 00:21:53,165
He's a normal, healthy boy.

404
00:21:53,165 --> 00:21:55,285
And the only way he'll become an invalid

405
00:21:55,285 --> 00:21:56,925
is if you make him one.

406
00:22:00,325 --> 00:22:02,525
(Robbie yells)
(Kevin laughing)

407
00:22:02,525 --> 00:22:05,845
(bright cheerful music)

408
00:22:08,965 --> 00:22:11,525
(Vicky laughs)

409
00:22:12,805 --> 00:22:17,125
(bright cheerful music gentles)

410
00:22:17,125 --> 00:22:18,485
- I know I have no right to expect it,

411
00:22:18,485 --> 00:22:21,325
but there are two favours
I want to ask you.

412
00:22:21,325 --> 00:22:22,405
- Yes?

413
00:22:22,405 --> 00:22:25,005
- First that you'll let
me buy that old horse

414
00:22:25,005 --> 00:22:26,885
that helped to save Robbie.

415
00:22:26,925 --> 00:22:28,085
I'd like it for him.

416
00:22:28,085 --> 00:22:29,885
I promise he'll look after it well.

417
00:22:29,885 --> 00:22:32,165
- I'm sure he will. And the second?

418
00:22:33,005 --> 00:22:35,445
- In spite of the things I've said,

419
00:22:35,445 --> 00:22:37,085
that you'll let them both continue

420
00:22:37,085 --> 00:22:38,765
their friendship with your family.

421
00:22:39,805 --> 00:22:40,685
- Mrs. Jameson,

422
00:22:42,005 --> 00:22:43,765
I don't think we could stop them.

423
00:22:46,365 --> 00:22:49,885
(gentle triumphant music)

424
00:22:53,245 --> 00:22:56,765
(triumphant music swells)

425
00:22:57,805 --> 00:23:01,205
(triumphant music fades)

426
00:23:04,325 --> 00:23:08,045
(inspiring percussive music)

427
00:23:23,205 --> 00:23:27,045
(chorus singing rhythmically)

428
00:23:56,285 --> 00:24:00,005
(inspiring music builds)

429
00:24:00,005 --> 00:24:03,245
(inspiring music ends)
