"Did you buy them an' all?" "Go get 'em, will you?" "They're in that back room." " Let's be done with this." " All right." "Get a move on here!" " Why's this down here?" " How much did you say was for the book down here?" " Fetch us an extra one for a cart sale." " Are they from upstairs?" "Just a couple of chairs." "I think so, aye." " I've got it." " There's nowhere else to put it." "Excuse me, would ya?" "There's a poorhouse in Settle." "They'll take your children." "I'm not being parted from them." "I think you'd better talk to him." "This house isn't ours, not anymore." "It's just a house." "We'll be together." "I can't stand everyone knowing, that's all." "We're going to walk out of here with our heads held high." "Come on." "Worth a shilling, maybe." "Come on." "Sold everything to pay his debts." "You said we could come to you." "I'm sorry, Annie," "I've been sick of late." "That's fine." "Forget I came here." "Ma'am... .. what's going on?" "Annie?" "I'm sorry." "We need somewhere we can go, somewhere I can at least earn a wage." "It'll get dark in a few hours." " (We can't sleep out on the streets.)" " There's jobs going, Culverdale railway." "They're building a great bridge out there." " That's 15 miles." " I'll find a train that'll take you." "Where are we headed?" "An adventure." " Why have we stopped?" " You have to change trains." "It's the end of the line." "There's a different railway yonder." "All change!" "This is the end of the line." "Connecting train across the valley." "All change, please!" "Here." " Take my hand." " Thank you." " Here." "The steps..." "Ooh!" " Thank you." " We're headed for Culverdale." " It's this valley right here." "Here, let me help you, lad." "There we are." " No, there's no need to carry our things." " It's no bother, ma'am." "Happen if you don't want to talk to me I can walk a little way in front." " Step down here." " Steady." "I suppose this is where we part." "I'm walking further west." "You should head over that ridge." " Good luck to you and your family." " Thank you for your help." "Happen I'll come to call when you get settled." "I look forward to all the lively conversation." "It's the ends of the earth." "See you later." "Go left a bit." "No, no, no, come back to the right." "That's it, that's great." "That's great." "Look at that." "Oh, it should be an "S"." "There's two of us." " Capsticks." " It's beer they want, woman, not a grammar lesson." "Ned Shaw, I'm the engineer." "You all work for me now." "I pay a fair wage for a fair day's work." "Put your mark in the book, you'll be assigned a work gang." "Your bunting's in the dirt, my fine lady." "How about a smile?" "Everything's barter here." "A smile for my arm, a fair trade." " Can you tell me where there's work to be had?" " Boss's office over yonder." " How about a kiss instead, then?" " How about I smack you with this suitcase?" "Shaw  Blackwood pay me to look after t'men." "Make sure they're fed, they've got a roof over them." "They're mostly villains, rough ends." "You don't belong here." "Nowhere else to go?" "What are you going to do to earn a living out here on t'moors?" "I don't yet know." "I just need a place of my own." "Are those for rent, those huts?" "I need somewhere to sleep tonight." "Forty shillings a week, it beds enough for six." "Is there anywhere cheaper, perhaps?" "You could take in lodgers, no shortage of men here." "I'll give you two days' grace on rent to set yourself up." "Who are you, then?" "Ralph Coates, the new foreman." "Hired to work the next mile of the branch line, east of the valley." "I learnt my trade on the Baltimore-Ohio Railway." "Joseph Thornhill." "This here minor track's mine." "I'm the agent." "Senior foreman here on the viaduct build." "Nice berth you've got." "Can you tell me where I can bunk down?" "The flophouse is cheapest, across the way." "If you're staying, you'd better go with this gentleman." "There's a vacant hut round the back of the flophouse." "All right?" "Good day." "How long since he died?" "Your husband?" "Who told you that?" "I'm a railway foreman, ma'am." "Two things I make my business." "The railways ... and the folks that work 'em." "Excuse me asking, where's the line?" " Have you just arrived in town?" " I rode in on the goods train." "I'm Johnny Jackson." "I'm looking for work." "Look for the office that says Shaw  Blackwood." "Ask there." " I'm obliged to you." " Aye, manners." "Never heard the like." "There's a space on my gang, Your Highness." "George, have you got ink and paper?" "We need to make more than just the rent." "We need to buy our way back home again." " Come on, George." " Mornin'." "I bought you some rations." " I can't possibly take your food." " I can." "George?" "Every mouthful a banquet." "There's really no need, sir." "We're just on our way to market." "Ma'am, you can't survive without a favour every now and then." "Maybe someday you can pay me back again." "Thank you." "I did my best with what I could find." "I married you for your kissing, not your sandwiches." "I have a theory about navvy boys." "Born fighters." "In their nature." "But if you're on my gang, the only thing you'll be fighting" " is that bedrock." "Do you hear me, navvy?" " Aye." " Tiger?" " Aye, Jack." " Davie Boy?" " Aye, Jack." " Walker?" " Aye, Jack." " Shay?" " Aye, Jack." " Red?" " Aye, Jack." " Skinny?" " Aye, Jack." " And what do I call you?" "His Royal Highness The Prince." "All right, let's get some work done." "Come on." "The London line ends there, and then the Midland line begins." "Two networks, two locomotives." "And just your estate between them, eh, Blackwood?" "And that spells opportunity." "Yes, sir." "A viaduct linking the networks, making this country one nation." "And you need money to finish it, hence this rather fine luncheon." "What would your father have thought about all these... squatters on his land?" "He traded in sugar." "Sugar's the past, railways are our future." "Ah, see, here's Mr Shaw, the engineer." " We set up this venture together." " So, how are you faring?" "It's going to take some persuasion before they open their wallets." " Gentlemen." " Mr Shaw." " Mr Shaw." " How are you doing?" " Away!" " Clear!" "Drag it back now and stow it tight." "Take that with powder tomorrow." "It saves the digging of a hundred men." "Aye." "Who let that thing off its pegs?" "!" " That new man, he were careless." " It wasn't me." " I saw you." " You couldn't see nothing with so much drink inside you." "Whoa, whoa!" " The Prince is a boxer as well, look." " Red, you lose a day's clink." "Now move yourselves!" "Right." "Someone's been in that bag and they've taken half my things." "Must've happened when we left the bags outside." " I hate this place." "Why have we come here?" " Hey, don't say that." "At least we've got a roof ... and we're together." "So we've really gotta stay in this crate, side by side with a bunch of strangers?" "Look, this here's the parlour." "The kitchen and the scullery are over in the west wing." " What about the billiard room?" " Of course." "Every respectable family needs to entertain." "Over here we can have the music room." "A grand piano for when we have recitals in the evening." "Oh, out there is the kitchen/garden, with formal lawns leading down to a tennis court." "Is that grand enough for you, Duchess?" "You're mad sometimes." "Wherever you two lay your heads, that's my dream home." "And if it all goes to plan, I think we can promise you a very healthy return on your investments." "Oh, I have absolute confidence." "Gentlemen." " So sorry to keep you." " My niece, Miss Lambton." "Let me introduce you." "Mr Shaw, the engineer." "Ma'am." "And you know his partner, of course, Mr Blackwood." "Hello, Charles." "Please, gentlemen, don't let me disturb you." "Another chair, please, Easter." "I'm glad you can join us, Miss Lambton." "I'm very glad to be here." "She asked if she could come." "Sorry, I should've warned you." " Charles or myself will be more than happy to answer that." " It's an extraordinary venture." "Come here!" "Look at all them fine things she owns." " Don't gawp." " All my good clothes were taken, Ma." "Oi." "Don't forget them boots, will ya?" "Cheers, Polly." "See you next payday." " I like your lace." " Thank you." "It's pretty, in't it?" "Hey, go on." "Have you just moved in?" "Lace Polly they call me." "Annie." "I'd... best get on." "So where are you from, Skinny?" "I live down Plymouth way." "Daughter, too." "Three years in September." "How can you stand to be away?" "I just go when the work whistles." "Send back all the spare money I have." "Better than a shipyard, this." "No-one to tell you how to live." "What about you, then?" "You don't talk about yourself much, do you?" "Aargh!" " Argh!" " You men!" "Argh!" "Argh!" "Get your pack." "I don't want to see you this side of the mountain." "You're a dead man, Prince, I swear you are!" "We need to find new lodgings" " before we wake up with our throats cut." " Yeah." "Your sign says lodgings." "It's 14 shillings a week." "You get three meals, a mattress and your laundry." "Start on about kissing me again, I will kick you out of doors." "We've already had the pleasure." "I said I'd come to call when you got settled." "So... .. here I am." "What are you doing, boy?" "Just getting firewood." "You ain't seen me." "Do you hear?" "Oh." " Which part of the track are you working on, then?" " Your side." "Not as grand as here." "Do you get a cut of what those traders earn?" " Aye, I do." " Reckon I'm just gonna have to steal your pass then." " Morning." " Good morning." " Here." " Thanks." "Well, this is a banquet." " A man works harder on hot vittles than he does on cold." " Mmm." "Right." "Skinny?" "Now you're staying here as my guests, these are my house rules." "The room at the end is for family, this parlour" " is the only place we meet." " What do we get in exchange for all these rules?" "We're the only lodgings with fine china." "You get to live a cut above the others." " All right." " A knife and fork there." "Alma, stop your dreaming, get out here, help serve." "I've only just got up." "A navvy drinks beer any time of t'day." "If we want to make a living, it means we're open." "Alma." " Good morning to ya." " Morning." "What's the matter?" "Can't bear to share the water with me?" "I've a daughter." "She's..." "I understand." "Don't worry, I won't bother you for the time of day." "Now you and me, our linen's the same colour." "The only friends you'll have around here are the ones you make." "He's telling everyone, boasting about it." " I never kissed Jackie Blackburn." " He says you're sweet on him, he brung you presents." "I can't help who dreams about me, can I?" " Why are you following me, Davey?" " I want to talk." " I mean here, this navvy town." " You..." "You kissed me up in Scarborough." "You don't run halfway around the world cos someone kisses you." "What's that under your skirt?" "Well, Davey, if you don't know, my kiss were wasted." "No, I mean that lace." "Well, that's what he brung ya?" "He saved up half his wages." " Who are you staring at?" " That petticoat is mine." " Whoever gave it you, they stole it." " Alma, give it back." "You lay a finger on me and I will smack you so hard your teeth with rattle." "Agh!" "You fool, you little fool!" "There." "Now neither of us can have it." "Uh!" "He didn't save up no wages, your new admirer." "He filched it." "I'm afraid they're about to start blasting." "It's not safe to go into the valley today." " Oh, are we to be prisoners, then?" " You're free to wander my grounds." " There's good shooting on the moors." " Perhaps Blackwood can entertain your niece whilst we're gone?" "It would be an honour." "Davey boy, get the agent to give you powder." "Take the new man with you, show him how it's done." "We need 20 ounces of the black stuff to shift this bedrock." "I said I'd escort you." "Your uncle's gone off for a few hours." "The prospect delights you, obviously." "You don't need to nursemaid me, Charles." "I wanted to see you." "I heard about your grand scheme." "You didn't think it might be awkward?" "I'm sorry." "I thought... things might mend." "It's been eight years." "Perhaps I was wrong." "Perhaps we won't ever be friends." "All men back behind the crow line." "Clear the pit while I plug the fuse." "♪ .. my fine daughter" "♪ Step it up, Mary, if you can" "♪ Step it up, Mary, my fine daughter" "♪ Show your legs to the countryman... ♪ Show your legs to the countryman" "♪ Show your legs to the countryman... ♪" "There's some powder missing." "A barrel's gone." "♪ Step it up, Mary, my fine daughter" "♪ Step it up, Mary, if you can" "♪ Step it up, Mary..." "Oh, God..." "Oh, sweet Jesus, no." "Someone help me!" "Help!" "Get me out of here!" "There's gunpowder everywhere!" "Please, get me out!" " It's everywhere!" " Jack!" "Argh!" "Aargh!" "Aargh!" "Help them, lads, they're over there." " Argh!" "Argh!" " Get down!" " Get down!" " Argh!" "Here we are." "He was up at the scaffold when it happened." "Open the door." "We need to bind these wounds with something." "Here we are, gently." "There we are, there you are." " I'll be back." " Where are you going?" "There may be others." "I don't know how to tend to it." "Martha, go and find a doctor." "Martha, go and find someone who can help us!" "Has anybody seen my husband?" "Anybody seen Jack Laggan?" "Davey?" "Davey..." "I'm sorry." "He... wouldn't have known nothing." "No!" "No!" "Davey..." "Jack!" "Jack..." "Jack." "Jack!" "JAAACK!" " I sent for a doctor." " There isn't one to be had." "I'll need a spoon." "Have you got flour and salt to make a poultice?" "Go, quickly." "There, there." "Have you seen my lad anywhere?" "Sit down there." "Oi!" "Hey!" "Talk to him, lass." "Say something to make him smile." "You're going to get better." "We're looking out for you." "Mr Blackwood?" "Sir?" "Sir?" "There's a navvy lad in that hut, burnt bad in the explosion." " We need to get him to a hospital." " Show me." " This way." "Get him up." "Pull him down." " Let me give you something for what you've done for him." " No, I can't accept nowt, sir." "No, not just for Christian kindness." "Drive on." "I wanted to see Mr Thornhill." "Crawled into a bottle." "He'll be leaving here." "Someone has to answer for this tragedy." " Remind me, what's your experience?" " Oh." "Thirty years on the railway, sir, across the northern United States." "I want you to take over in the valley." "Jack Laggan, the ganger who was killed," " you need to find a man to replace him." "Who's his second?" " A young man named Sharpe." "Davey Sharpe." "Find him, will you, Coates, and promote him." " You're in charge now." " Why, thank you, sir." "We need more blankets for the wounded." "I'll take them over with the water as soon as it's boiled." "What are you doing?" "Someone ought to write, he has a wife and child." "Well, won't Mrs Shaw or..." "Mr Blackwood see to it?" "I don't think those men care about any of us." "I should go back to the site and find his pack." "If the worst happens we have to send her his wages." "Davey Sharpe?" "Mr Shaw's looking for a new ganger." "I told you're his man." "It wouldn't be right, sir, with Jack not even in the earth." "Someone's gotta keep this ship afloat." "Would you rather I gave it to another man?" "Well?" "I'm in debt to you, sir." "Agh!" " Come 'ere!" " Argh!" "Argh!" "You saw me take powder out of yonder blast cart, didn't you?" "And you know what powder does, don't you, boy?" "Hmm?" "!" "Shh, shh, shh." "Argh!" "Come on, come here!" "Right!" "Argh!" "Red was thrown off the gang." "He was trying to pay us back." "George saw him do it, steal the powder." " Well, we have to tell the agent." " Annie, no." "George, wait out the front." "Go." "Go on." "Thornhill's a decent man." " He's been booted out, and there's no law here." " George was defending himself." " We can't prove it." "George killed a man, that's all they'll see." "They'll come for him." "God help him if the navvies take t'law into their own hands." "I don't know what to do." "We have to bury the body." "What?" " No-one will know." "Red was ordered to leave here." " That's insane." "They'll think he just skipped town." "It's the only way." "Why are you helping us?" "Because I can." "Because I'm... here." "And you're alone." "Bring a blanket to wrap him in, and we'll take him up onto the moors." " (What's he doing?" ") - (I don't know.)" "Where are we putting him?" "They've already dug a grave for Jack." "We'll bury him underneath." "No-one will dig there, ever." "Here." "Turn him over." "What's he doing with all this money?" " That's more than just his wages." " I reckon someone paid him to do it." "We should bury it with him." "Jack's job?" "Ganger's job?" "Aye." "The agent come and told me right away." "So, what do you say?" "I say it's high time you asked me to marry you." "What?" " Do you mean it?" " Yeah, of course I mean it." "I've always been sweet on you, Davey." "W..." "I don't want you saying this just cos I get more wages." "Kiss me." "Make it a proper bargain." "Mr Blackwood has sent me." "The man that got burned up in that there fire?" "You mean Skinny." "He died before we got him to t'doctor." "Mr Charles?" "A man died tonight." "Died on the cart, right in front of me." "The investors, I need to speak to them myself," " to reassure them." " Charlie, they took a carriage back to town." "They didn't wanna spend the night here." "All right, now." "Here we are."

"The scheme has made him near bankrupt." "Shaw rode over here to tell you that the viaduct is finished." "Why did you come back here today?" "To tell you that my uncle is a fool."
