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?
