glad because he's got a violent
1:08
temper and treats my aunt
1:10
badly. This
1:13
morning I've been exploring the
1:15
country around the inn. There
1:20
is nothing but heather and grass
1:22
for miles. In
1:25
the distance I can see the
1:27
marsh. It
1:30
was in this wild and lonely land that my uncle lived as a boy
1:32
with his two brothers. Last
1:37
night he told me their story. If
1:45
you had lived here, you would have taken
1:47
to drink like I did. It makes you do things.
1:49
It makes you do things. I
1:51
had a family once. A father, mother,
1:55
two brothers. But Each one
1:57
of them disappeared one way or another. I.
2:00
Thought I was and. He.
2:03
Killed a man. My
2:05
brother jam as clever but they'll
2:07
catch him to and I game.
2:10
My. Brother Matthew. Love.
2:12
He drowned in the marsh. They.
2:15
Found him one summer when the Moto droid up.
2:21
When. I get back to the in. My.
2:23
Uncle is there. He.
2:26
Did you miss me? Said.
2:28
You have a nice trip. Nice be. So.
2:32
I've been writing for four days. There.
2:34
Was a bit of money involved. As all
2:36
I care about. Well.
2:38
I'll go and help my and. Takes me you'll
2:41
be helping tonight in the bar. It's
2:48
Saturday night. the. Far as
2:50
crowded. Here is
2:52
full of smoke and the smell
2:54
of unwashed bodies. All
2:58
us Senate drunk. Some
3:00
men are so drunk that they
3:02
lie on the benches like dead
3:04
men. Another
3:07
fight. Or
3:10
he of their girls uncle.
3:12
I cannot be this I'm
3:14
going upstairs to good for
3:16
us. Are you? Well it's
3:18
almost midnight now. Go to
3:20
your room and lock your
3:22
door. Don't
3:25
my wrist your her in May. Hear
3:27
this, Keep your mouth shut
3:29
and you will get food.
3:31
But if you start to
3:34
ours. Noise.
3:45
Coming from under my room. The
3:51
moonlight pours into my room. Create
3:53
and ghostly saddles, I
3:57
creep over to the window. My
4:00
uncle is below and I recognize
4:02
other men. From earlier this evening.
4:06
There were four or five
4:08
wagons. The men
4:10
have been taken. They talk from them into
4:12
the in. The
4:20
last Have a good get
4:22
going. know the quick, what
4:24
what we do about and
4:26
don't worry area know will
4:28
deal with him later. I
4:32
understand now. They
4:35
are smuggling. To
4:37
maker in is a perfect place for it.
4:41
But what's my uncle do at the moment? They
4:45
have to see. As
4:50
I get closer to the bar. I
4:52
hear voices. I
4:55
hide in the shadows. No.
4:59
And no, again, I will not
5:01
be a part of it. That's
5:04
murder you're talking about, Mister
5:07
Merlin. Killing
5:10
innocent women and children? No, not
5:12
so fast. But you will do
5:15
as I say. Another man said
5:17
the same and he was hanging
5:19
at the end of a rope
5:21
a few minutes later. Harry.
5:25
You go and lock the door behind you. Have
5:28
finished here. I
5:38
feel sick. My
5:41
heart has been be in so loudly I
5:43
am sure they have heard it. I
5:47
go back to my room quietly. what
5:53
shall i do if i had a gun
5:56
or knife i could perhaps hurt my uncle
5:58
said that the man can it's I must
6:01
do something, though." I
6:09
creep downstairs again. The
6:13
door to the bar is shut. There
6:17
is silence. I
6:20
suddenly know I have to open the door
6:22
to find out. There's
6:26
no one here. It's
6:29
the tables and a few empty glasses.
6:34
The door is open at the back. But
6:37
wait. What's
6:39
that hanging in the middle of the room? It's
6:43
swinging. A
6:46
rope hanging from a hook in the ceiling. But
6:50
there's nothing at the end of it. What's
6:55
happened to that man? I
6:58
fear the worst. Next
7:04
time we meet, an
7:06
interesting visitor arrives at Jamaica
7:08
Inn. But who
7:10
is he? And can
7:13
he be trusted?
