00:00That's all you are, you know. You're a cheap, lousy maggot.
00:15Oh, you're better.
00:16I surely am.
00:17You best watch it. If we get out of here, I'm going to wring your neck.
00:22That's a laugh. You don't have the strength. You never did and you never will.
00:30Evening, officers. And the blessing of the season to the pair.
00:37Are you two ready to behave yourselves?
00:39Oh, like God's own angels, isn't that right, Shane?
00:41Truly it is. Enjoy Christmas.
00:49Very magnanimous of you, sir.
00:51It's Christmas Eve. What better time for magnanimity?
01:00Well, this is dull.
01:02Shh. She invited us.
01:04Please, they're family. Go be entertaining.
01:07I've allowed all your sisters into my home. That's entertaining enough.
01:11Go.
01:15Could I get you ladies a drink?
01:17I don't drink.
01:18I would love one.
01:20What would you like?
01:21Oh, Thomas, you know very well what I like. It just doesn't suit polite company.
01:27So, Margaret, where is the surprise you promised?
01:30We came all the way to the cesspool of a city on your insistence.
01:34Patience, Camilla. It will be worth the wait.
01:41What?
01:42Is this just for Christmas Eve?
01:44Oh, and Christmas Day.
01:45Oh, bloody hell.
01:46Language. I heard that.
01:48Oh, of course she bloody did.
01:50Heard that too.
01:52So, we fill out one of these for each in order to keep track.
01:59Can I help you, gentlemen?
02:05Os?
02:06Gentlemen.
02:07Os.
02:11Oh, that's rich.
02:13What do you think?
02:14I think it's a good idea.
02:15What do you think?
02:16I think it's a good idea.
02:17What do you think?
02:18I think it's a good idea.
02:19That's rich.
02:21What can we do for you?
02:26Oh, that won't be necessary. We released him and his companion.
02:30What? When?
02:31Less than an hour ago.
02:36Slippery fish.
02:41They didn't seem happy about that.
02:44Thomas, Amanda, is in charge of all of the police officers in Toronto now.
02:50Oh, I couldn't think of a better choice.
02:52A strong, powerful man for a strong, powerful job.
02:56Strange. I thought it was cream that was supposed to rise to the top.
03:01But I suppose in the police department things are different.
03:06I'll get that.
03:07Who else would? It is your home.
03:09Right you are.
03:10We're here.
03:11We're here.
03:12Stating the bloody obvious as always, Higgins.
03:14Language.
03:15It is my home.
03:17Yes, that's right. A home.
03:19Not a beer parlor or a gin mill.
03:22No.
03:23Yes.
03:25Yes, of course. Sorry.
03:26May I present the star of the silver screen, the portrayer of the amazing Agnes,
03:32I give you all Miss Ruth Newsome.
03:37It's a pleasure to meet you.
03:39Such an honor.
03:40Such an honor.
03:41It's all right. It's all right.
03:42I'm a normal person just like you.
03:44Just a more glamorous version of such, I suppose.
03:48And so you must be the three.
03:51Yes, yes, three.
03:54The three sisters that I have heard so much about.
03:58This is just beautiful.
03:59Don't touch that.
04:00Isn't she something, sir?
04:02This is going to be a jolly evening.
04:04Ho, ho, ho.
04:11Missing Your Family
04:28You must be missing your family.
04:30I am.
04:31Well, at least we have the Brackenreid's party.
04:34Along with all of Mrs. Brackenreid's family.
04:38You know, I never minded spending Christmas alone.
04:42Right.
04:44But we were invited.
04:45Where is he?
04:47Pardon?
04:48Shane.
04:49He deserted me minutes after you let us go.
04:51Did he come back here?
04:52Why would he do that?
04:53Well, I've long since stopped trying to reckon what Shane gets up to.
04:56But you have to help me find him.
04:59Perhaps he went off with those two men who were just here looking for him.
05:02What two men?
05:03Two men came in offering to post his bid.
05:05Did one of them have an eye patch?
05:07Yes.
05:08Oh, good Lord.
05:09You know them?
05:10The Murphys.
05:11Shane's got himself in trouble with them.
05:13What kind of trouble?
05:15Well, if the Murphys set foot in a police station, big trouble.
05:18You have to help me find him.
05:19Come on, boys.
05:21Perhaps the Brackenreid's party can wait.
05:30Don't get started on Lillian Gish.
05:33She just stole a role that I, I deserve to play.
05:37No.
05:38And wouldn't you like to know how she did that?
05:41Oh, oh.
05:42And the way that Mabel Norman and Mary Pickford fight behind the scenes.
05:46Oh.
05:47A term we use in my business.
05:49You would not think they were ladies.
05:53Like wild animals.
05:58Margaret.
06:00I thought you promised us a fun party.
06:04So far, all I've heard are stories about the goings on of souls that are on the road to eternal damnation.
06:12I thought you would like it.
06:14Well, I do.
06:16Up to a point.
06:17If only to know that they're going to get what they deserve.
06:23Excellent.
06:24Attention, everyone, please.
06:26It's time for a parlor game.
06:28Does anyone have a favorite?
06:30Oh, oh, oh.
06:31Squeal, piggy, squeal.
06:33I want to play squeal, piggy, squeal.
06:35I would love to play, as long as the two handsome gentlemen will join in.
06:40Did you hear that, sir?
06:41Handsome.
06:42Don't get excited, Higgins.
06:44That one will take a run at anyone in a pair of trousers.
06:47And I mean anyone.
06:50Oh.
06:59Do you mind if I join you a moment?
07:00Oh, be my guest.
07:05You look like a man with something on his mind.
07:08More like someone.
07:10Oh, must be nice.
07:12But I had a question for you.
07:15Question?
07:16Well, advice, actually.
07:17On your feet, lazybones.
07:29Oh.
07:31Oh.
07:57Toronto Constabulary.
07:59Evening, gentlemen.
08:00I know my license isn't yet renewed, but these folks have nowhere else to go.
08:05They deserve a little Christmas cheer.
08:07We don't care about that.
08:08Oh.
08:09You in for a drink?
08:10No.
08:11We're looking for Shane.
08:12Is he even by?
08:15Oh, you can tell him.
08:18Shane was by, but I had to throw him out.
08:20Why?
08:21Oh, he was pestering everyone trying to catch a free drink.
08:24You threw him out every time you did that, he'd never be in.
08:26Yeah, yeah, I know.
08:27But this night I was fed up, so I threw him out on his arse.
08:30Any idea where he might have gone?
08:32Oh, this time of the night.
08:33We'll try Sally Mac Levin's.
08:34No, not, not her, no.
08:36Don't worry yourself, Christy.
08:37He's not going there for Levin.
08:39Sally's been selling pachine out the back of her store.
08:42Pachine?
08:44Raw liquor.
08:45Dirt cheap.
08:46But Shane's got a taste for it.
08:47Well, there isn't a liquor maid that Shane doesn't have a taste for.
08:51Come on.
08:52I know where she is.
08:53Hey.
08:54Shane in any trouble?
08:55No more than normal.
08:57So plenty then.
08:58Hey, coppers.
09:00Best of the season to you.
09:06Where's that little piggy?
09:13This is so silly.
09:16Squeal, piggy, squeal.
09:18Oink, oink, oink.
09:20Oh, well, that is most definitely Thomas.
09:25Remind you of old times?
09:27Me on your lap and you getting fresh?
09:29There were no old times, and I'm not getting fresh.
09:32You can believe what you want.
09:34All right, Amanda, that's enough.
09:36Get off my husband's lap.
09:37Go.
09:38Off.
09:39I'll go look for the mistletoe.
09:40Oh, you will not.
09:41You never like to share, Margaret.
09:44Isn't this exciting?
09:45Oh, it's a barrel of monkeys.
09:47The star of the adventures of Agnes in our very home.
09:51That should certainly show my sisters the circle in which I now travel.
09:55I'm all over flutter.
09:57Where's my flask?
09:58Your what?
09:59My regimental flask.
10:00Sterling silver?
10:01I keep it by the bar.
10:03Have you moved it?
10:04I certainly did not.
10:09Another game, another game.
10:11Yes, as long as I have to.
10:12You know, sir, sometimes Ruth just throws away my things if she doesn't like them.
10:16Margaret wouldn't do that.
10:17Oh, and higgies.
10:19You shouldn't let your wife ride roughshod over you.
10:23Sometimes it's just easier, sir.
10:25I know.
10:26I know.
10:32I gave him some.
10:33He practically begged me for it.
10:35I'll say he repays you for it.
10:37Doubt that.
10:38What sort of mess has he got himself into this time?
10:40He's on the run from the Murphys.
10:42Then he'll be grand.
10:44The Murphys won't do much more than give Shane a beating, and he's had plenty of those in his time.
10:48There must be something else.
10:51Oh, damn.
10:52What is it?
10:53Shane told me he had a sure thing.
10:56Eighteen to one odds.
10:57He placed the bet.
10:58How did the horse do?
10:59Pulled up lame, never finished the race.
11:02So he owes these Murphys money.
11:04The Murphys don't touch the ponies.
11:06Then why are these Murphys after him?
11:09He must owe them money for something else.
11:13Might he have left the city?
11:14Shane's no runner.
11:16The start of the old town's the only place he knows.
11:19You there.
11:21I think it's safe to say Shane's got himself into a proper mess this time.
11:25Shortly after you left, McBride showed up.
11:27Listen up!
11:33Ten dollars, whoever can bring me Shane McCowan.
11:42He didn't say anything about alive or dead.
11:45But I'll wager the former.
11:46Is that so?
11:47Don't he deny himself the pleasure.
11:49If McBride's after Shane, you have to help me find him.
11:53We'll do our best.
11:55In for a dime, in for a dollar, I'd say.
11:58I have an idea where to look.
12:06Ah, Lou Ellen.
12:09Chateau Aubryon.
12:11No, Violet, I cannot accept.
12:14Well, it's not from me.
12:16Then who?
12:18A secret admirer, I suppose.
12:23That's the stuff.
12:26Enjoy it.
12:27And if you're lucky, enjoy what's to come.
12:44Mmm.
12:47Why would he come here?
12:49Shane often ends up down here when he hits hard times.
12:52Oh, no. Blood.
12:54Don't go any further, miss.
13:08Good Lord.
13:10That's Shane's.
13:14Uh, crystal chandelier.
13:18A broom.
13:20A Christmas ornament.
13:22A lampshade.
13:23A candy cane.
13:25A bell, a bell.
13:27Oh, oh, a statue.
13:31A tree?
13:33A different sort of tree.
13:35No, no, no.
13:37A beautiful giraffe.
13:38Oh, Henry, I'm not trying to be a giraffe.
13:40Don't be silly.
13:41I was trying to be a giraffe.
13:42I would just do this.
13:44See?
13:45Are you sure you're not a tree?
13:47So your flask is missing,
13:49and you think one of my sisters took it?
13:51Well, someone did.
13:52Well, it wasn't my relatives.
13:54You likely just misplaced it.
13:55I didn't misplace it.
13:56Mind yourself.
13:58Amanda, she's told me all about you.
14:00All about?
14:01There is nothing all about.
14:02Well, that's not what she said.
14:04Look, I know she's an attractive woman,
14:06and she probably reminds you of me, but I...
14:08I'm not interested in your sister.
14:09I just want my bloody flask back.
14:13You're a cactus.
14:14Yes, thank you.
14:15A cactus.
14:16It's plain as day.
14:17A cactus.
14:18How clever, dear.
14:20And you're telling me that's not some sort of tree?
14:22It is not a tree.
14:23It is a succulent.
14:24A what?
14:30Shane lost his cross.
14:31It doesn't mean anything.
14:33Well, the pool of blood is somewhat concerning.
14:35Was he wearing it when you were arrested?
14:37Oh, I can't remember.
14:39Look, truth be told,
14:41both Shane and I had a thirst like the devil today,
14:43but I think he had it on.
14:45Where else might he have gone?
14:47Well, this was my best guess.
14:50Well, I'm afraid there's not much more we can do for you.
14:53So you're going to abandon me
14:55and let a good man die on Christmas Eve?
14:57A good man.
14:59He sounds like a drunkard, a gambler,
15:01and I don't know what he does for a living.
15:02A good man.
15:04He sounds like a drunkard, a gambler,
15:06and a thief who owes money all over town.
15:08That makes him no less a good man.
15:10Some of us are plagued by demons, sir.
15:12There's not much to do about it.
15:14Don't worry, Christy.
15:15We're here.
15:16Thank you, Frank.
15:18Now, you two go back to your cozy homes
15:20and a Merry Christmas to the both of you.
15:23Well, what do you think?
15:26If these Murphys and this Mr. McBride
15:28are as dangerous as they all say,
15:29they're going to need our help.
15:32You really don't want to go
15:34to the Brackenreeds' party, do you?
15:37It's protecting and serving, sir.
15:42For many, acting is not as easy as it looks.
15:45Myself, it seems, it's just in my blood.
15:47I hardly have to give any thought
15:49to bringing life into my performances.
15:51I just empty my head of all thoughts and do.
15:54That must be a struggle for you.
15:56It is.
15:57It is, thank you.
15:59I have so many thoughts rattling around
16:01in this brain of mine.
16:03I thought I heard something when you shook your head.
16:05I thought it was marbles.
16:07Did that Cal Whitman fellow really try and kill you?
16:09Oh, he did.
16:11He did.
16:13But, in truth, who could blame him?
16:15He was consumed with jealousy and envy,
16:17aware that his talents really couldn't compete with...
16:19Oh, Henry, where's my drink?
16:21Oh, right away, Ruthie-boo.
16:23No, no, no, not in public.
16:25Not in public.
16:27But, yes, oh, Cal Whitman was a bounder
16:29and a cad and a phony.
16:31He must have fit well in your business.
16:33Oh, psh.
16:35You seem troubled, sir.
16:37One of Margaret's sisters stole my flask,
16:39I'm sure of it.
16:41Which one?
16:43Well, they all have their reasons.
16:45Beatrice is a teetotal,
16:47so she doesn't like me drinking.
16:49Camilla hates the police, and me in particular,
16:51so she would do it just to spite me.
16:53And Amanda, sir?
16:55Oh, Amanda.
16:57She doesn't tease me.
16:59She has the hots for me, always has.
17:01The hots for you, sir.
17:03Yes. Is that strange to contemplate?
17:05I mean, it's...
17:07No, sir.
17:09It's not strange at all.
17:11Just see what you can find out, Higgins.
17:20I need to step inside for a moment.
17:22You buying me and the lads a drink for our assistance?
17:24No.
17:25Never hurts to try, does it, chief?
17:27I suppose not.
17:29So, what's a fellow like you doing
17:31working on Christmas Eve?
17:33Oh, Christmas is for everyone, sir.
17:35Even the lost souls.
17:37I keep my place open on the Eve
17:39for their comfort and camaraderie.
17:41My family understands that I'll be there for them
17:43on Christmas Day.
17:45That's very generous of you.
17:47It can be a lonely time, Christmas.
17:49For some, sir.
17:53Miss Hart.
17:55Well, I must say, this is a surprise.
17:57What are you doing here on Christmas Eve?
17:59I'm looking for an Irish man named Shane.
18:02Oh.
18:04The man with the rotten mouth and the powerful thirst.
18:06That sounds like him.
18:08Well, I haven't seen him in months.
18:10Not since I banned him.
18:12Let me guess. He owes you money.
18:14Indeed. I've also caught him here
18:16after hours more than once.
18:18Colorful character.
18:20Always hoping he could pay his bill with stories.
18:22What did he do?
18:23I have no idea,
18:25but some very dangerous people are after him.
18:27And you're trying to save him.
18:29That's a noble pursuit on Christmas Eve.
18:32Could I offer you a drink?
18:34It's quite lively in here tonight.
18:36Thank you,
18:38but it is lively enough for me out there.
18:42Oh, a lion!
18:44No.
18:46Oh.
18:48Oh, the chief constable!
18:50You were trying to be the chief constable.
18:51He's bloody not.
18:53Oh, hello.
18:55Aren't you the saucy one?
18:57Excuse me. I'm sorry.
18:59No, no. No need for apologies.
19:01I know you've been eyeing me up since you got here.
19:03Don't think I haven't noticed?
19:05Oh, the wind! The wind!
19:07You're trying to be the wind.
19:09No, I will confess.
19:11I've always been attracted to a man in uniform.
19:13Well, I'm not in uniform.
19:15In or out.
19:17Doesn't matter much to me.
19:19Well, I think I've had just about enough.
19:21Higgins, please!
19:23Don't, don't, don't touch me here.
19:25I didn't do anything.
19:27Well, it certainly didn't look like that.
19:29She made a play for me.
19:31You?
19:33I think she's a sex maniac.
19:35The chief constable told me as much.
19:37She even made a pass at him.
19:39Him?
19:41Well, that's what I thought.
19:43I think it's true.
19:45You're mine.
19:47Forever and ever loved of.
19:49And you don't have eyes for anybody else?
19:52I have a new game.
19:54Who wants to play?
19:56Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
20:01Let earth receive her King.
20:06Let every heart prepare Him room.
20:11Let heaven and nature sing.
20:14Let heaven and nature sing.
20:17Let heaven and nature sing.
20:22Bravo!
20:24That was lovely.
20:26Oh, thank you.
20:28And if you need a place to celebrate Christmas,
20:30we can offer shelter.
20:32Thanks, Chief.
20:34We've got plenty of places to celebrate.
20:36Do you know where else he could be?
20:39Oh, we haven't found him by now.
20:42He's long gone.
20:44Sorry, Christy, but I'm sure he'll fare well.
20:47When is he not?
20:49I suppose.
20:51Thanks for your help, coppers.
20:53You're done right by us.
20:55It's appreciated.
20:57So come fill up your glasses.
21:00That's Shane.
21:02With brandy and wine.
21:04Whatever it costs, I will pay.
21:09So be easy and free
21:12when you're drinking with me.
21:15I'm a man you don't meet
21:18every day.
21:22Well, that was lovely.
21:25Brings a tear, it does.
21:27So what now?
21:31Get out of here.
21:33The debt's paid, is it?
21:35Far from that.
21:37But the Lord's mercy's with you on this holy night.
21:39Now, Scatato.
21:41You know I'm good for it.
21:43Will you bless me?
21:45Over Fetcher again.
21:46Well, saying as we've done our good deed for the year.
21:49I'd be prided.
21:51Would she know?
21:54Huh?
21:56Where is he?
21:59Who?
22:01Don't be playing deaf with me, boy.
22:03I heard him catherwalling a mile away.
22:06It's almost Christmas Day.
22:09A day for the birth of our Lord and Savior.
22:12Aye.
22:14We opted for mercy.
22:16Oh.
22:18Not a wise move.
22:26Who did this to you?
22:28Someone a bit more skilled in the art of festy-cuffs than ourselves.
22:33You were messing with McBriden.
22:35More like he was messing with us.
22:37Seems like we're not the only ones changing that kind of attitude.
22:39Did he take Shane?
22:41No. Shane scarpered before McBride showed up.
22:44Where?
22:46Dan McHale.
22:48Did you tell this McBride fellow where he went?
22:51We did not.
22:53We sent McBride off in the wrong direction.
22:55Oh.
22:57Do you two require medical assistance?
23:02Why?
23:04Ain't no ten ale in us.
23:06Well.
23:07This could go on all night.
23:10You think he's safe and sound, then?
23:12He appears to have avoided trouble so far.
23:15Thank you, gentlemen, for your help.
23:17But I think we've gone as far as we can go.
23:20Aye, he's probably long gone.
23:22You all have some place to spend Christmas, I take it?
23:25Well, the city's our home.
23:27That's good enough for us.
23:29But thanks for helping us out with Shane.
23:31Merry Christmas, sirs.
23:38All right, the coppers are gone.
23:40Where did Shane get off to?
23:42Don't know about that.
23:44But I'll know where he was heading
23:46when I caught up with him.
23:50Some assistance would be appreciated.
23:52I didn't think you invited us here to work.
23:55Oh, well, I'll help, Mrs. Brackenreid.
23:57Oh, no, you mustn't.
23:59You're the guest of honor.
24:01Oh, no, I'd be delighted.
24:03Henry, go get some apples.
24:05You do have apples, don't you?
24:07Oh, indeed we do.
24:09Henry, those apples now?
24:11Just a second.
24:13The rest of us should choose a partner.
24:15I'd choose Henry.
24:17Oh, no, no, no, sorry, you can't.
24:19Henry is allergic to water.
24:21Allergic to water?
24:23How does he bathe?
24:25Infrequently, unfortunately.
24:27But I'll be your partner.
24:29Given the size of your mouth,
24:31I'm sure you'll have no trouble snagging an apple.
24:33And I mean that in the nicest way possible, of course.
24:34For some, a big mouth is a sign of beauty.
24:39This is bollocks.
24:41No one to play, sir.
24:43Margaret's Christmas present has gone missing.
24:45You keep an eye on this lot.
24:47I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
24:50Mr. Higgins.
24:52Oh, it's Higgins, Newsome.
24:54Of course.
24:56I'm sorry to hear about your affliction.
24:58It must be terrible.
25:00My what?
25:02Oh, no, Henry doesn't like to talk about it, do you, dear?
25:04Well, I think we'll begin with Beatrice and Margaret.
25:09Ah.
25:11Wonderful.
25:14Woo!
25:25Thank you, Mike.
25:27Not at all. Be my guest.
25:29Not at all.
25:31I'm so glad you came.
25:32It's a terrible Christmas celebration.
25:34No, no, it's better.
25:36You know, Violet isn't fond of many people, but she does like you.
25:39And I like her as well.
25:41Yeah, but you have to admit, the woman is a mystery.
25:43Which makes her all the more interesting.
25:46I agree, I agree.
25:48She's also a mystery I, uh, intend to solve.
25:51Good luck.
25:53With, uh, this.
25:58I intend to marry her.
25:59Um, well, she could do much worse.
26:02Do you think she'll say yes?
26:04Not something I can answer.
26:06Like you're saying, she is a mystery.
26:10Well, I suppose there's only one way to find out.
26:14Uh-huh.
26:29What do you think you're doing?
26:54Are you thieving?
26:56Quite the opposite.
26:57I'm actually looking for a thief.
26:59You coppers are all alike.
27:02Suspicious of anyone that isn't your own kind.
27:05Look in my release if you want.
27:07One of you lot stole my wife's Christmas present.
27:11You think one of her loving sisters stole it?
27:15You know, I feel sorry for Margaret.
27:18Living with you must be a trial.
27:21Who's squealing now, Biggie?
27:23Well, let's see if you can do it, just try harder.
27:25You trying to kill me?
27:27I am not. I am just trying to help us win.
27:30No, you're not. You're a lunatic.
27:32You were trying to drown me.
27:34Maybe that's what you get for putting hands on my henny penny.
27:36Your what? There was no need for such filth.
27:39Faith ladies, we're just trying to have a nice Christmas.
27:42A nice Christmas? That's a rich one.
27:45Your husband is a thief.
27:47What? A thief?
27:49He was going through our belongings in the bedroom.
27:51Thomas!
27:52If you wanted to see my unmentionables, you just had to ask.
27:55I do not want to look at your...
27:57Margaret, one of your sisters stole your Christmas present.
28:00That's an outrageous accusation.
28:02One of you lot stole my silver flask and the necklace that I got for Margaret.
28:06Oh, you got me that necklace.
28:08Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't lose them both in one of your drunken stupors.
28:13I don't know what you ever saw in that man.
28:15Well, I do.
28:17But if you want proof that I didn't take it, I'd be happy to have you search me.
28:20Oh, be quiet, Amanda!
28:22Margaret, when you were kids, you said that Beatrice always was sticky-fingered.
28:28You told him that? How could you?
28:31No!
28:33The doctor said that it was just a condition.
28:35You're awful!
28:37Excuse me, excuse me. We really should finish the game.
28:41It's not Christmas until we finish the game.
28:43It's not Christmas.
28:46Get out.
28:48Camilla, Beatrice, Amanda, get out!
28:52Get out!
28:54Get out!
28:56Get out!
28:58Out of my house!
29:00Out of my house!
29:02Not you, Thomas!
29:04Merry Christmas, sir.
29:06Merry Christmas, Egan.
29:08My Christmas!
29:18Thank you both.
29:19Every holiday, some family's got to make an impossible choice.
29:23Celebrate or put food on the table.
29:26You do good work, on this and every night.
29:30Well, it's far too late to head to the Bracken Ridge now, wouldn't you say?
29:33Far too late.
29:36What do you say, Murdoch? Drink with the boss on Christmas Eve?
29:40I could certainly do worse.
29:50I heard the trumpet player laugh, and I wanted to thank him for the wine.
29:54Oh, you thought it was Leonard.
29:56Is that his name?
29:58Indeed.
30:00Don't worry. This is going to be fun.
30:02Oh.
30:04Can we?
30:06Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce star of the silver screen, Ruth Newsome.
30:16Well, isn't this nice?
30:19Nice to you?
30:21Yes, they've decided to respect my privacy.
30:26Did you enjoy the wine?
30:30Very much so.
30:33Surprised to see me?
30:37Pleased is more like it. I thought you were attending to your studies.
30:42I came back to Toronto for the holidays.
30:44Well, I'm happy to see you. And the wine was delicious.
30:50I just happened to have another bottle. I just need a place to drink.
30:55It's quite noisy here.
30:58Crowded.
31:00Not much too crowded.
31:02I'll grab my coat.
31:04Uh-huh.
31:15We go to Lad's and don't tell Sol. I just need a place to rest.
31:19We won't if you don't.
31:21Deal.
31:24Well, I've no other way.
31:33Margaret?
31:35Don't, Thomas. Just don't.
31:39No children.
31:40No visitors.
31:42This is the worst Christmas ever.
31:44Doesn't need to be.
31:46Well, it is.
31:48It hasn't even started yet.
31:50Thomas, just...
31:55What are you doing?
31:57Let's go dancing.
31:59Now? On Christmas Eve?
32:02Miss Hart is holding a soiree at the Starbrite Club.
32:05I think that you should go and put on your dress.
32:07Starbrite Club?
32:09I think that you should go and put on your dancing shoes.
32:12You don't even like dancing.
32:14No, but I know you do.
32:17Well, I'll need a moment.
32:19Of course.
32:22Now I remember why I don't spend time with my sisters.
32:26Oh!
32:34Spruce Pier?
32:36You don't drink, detective.
32:38Only on the rarest of occasions.
32:45Violet, could I have a moment?
32:48Yeah.
32:50Isaiah, I thought we agreed no presents.
32:52Well, this isn't exactly a present.
32:56Violet Hart.
32:59Nobody moves!
33:02Show yourself, Shan!
33:04Or your life is gonna forever change.
33:12Let me go!
33:14Shut your gob!
33:16You.
33:18Sit down.
33:20Toronto Constabulary.
33:22Put down the weapon.
33:24I don't want any trouble.
33:26A curious way of showing that.
33:28I'm simply here to see a death is properly settled.
33:32I want to see Shane McCowan!
33:34Well, Shane most certainly is not here.
33:37I hear the only boozer in town's still open.
33:40I hardly call my club a boozer.
33:43Let the young lady go and there'll be no further trouble.
33:46There'll be no further trouble if you deliver me McCowan.
33:49And I will.
33:51Let the woman go, I'll find Shane McCowan and see that your debt is repaid.
33:54My truck is with Shane.
33:56I don't need any coppers involved and I surely don't need your help.
34:00Show yourself, Shane!
34:02Or I swear this Christmas will be your last.
34:09What are you lot doing?
34:11It's Christmas Eve.
34:13Give us a song.
34:20Come on.
34:27What do we do, sirs?
34:29We could rush him.
34:31There's no way he could get all of us.
34:33Sir, Detective and I both have children at home.
34:36It wouldn't be much of a Christmas if their fathers were to perish.
34:39Detective?
34:41I have to agree with Henry.
34:43Thank you, sir.
34:45Regardless of what we do, one of us is liable to get shot.
34:48That's enough for the music!
34:51Now Shane, I got Christy here.
34:55So get on out, sonnies.
34:57Good people can enjoy their Christmas.
35:00Say something, huh?
35:02Shane!
35:04If you're here...
35:06Run!
35:08Not that!
35:10We have no choice. We're going to have to rush him.
35:12Shane!
35:14Get out here and face the music.
35:15Or I'm taking Miss Christy here with me.
35:19And you won't be seeing her again.
35:21I'll go for the gun.
35:23You go low, you go high.
35:25Ready?
35:27You leave her be, McBride!
35:29I thought that would get your attention.
35:33My money.
35:35I don't have it.
35:37But I can pay with my life if you let her go.
35:39No, run, Shane.
35:41I will not.
35:42If McBride shoots me, the coppers will surely get him.
35:45Then you won't have to cry about him any longer.
35:47No, I won't leave.
35:49Christy, I loves you.
35:52I blessed the day I found you.
35:54I got no life without you.
35:56You're the measure of my dreams.
35:58Shane.
36:02Mrs Brackenry?
36:06Can't hear any music.
36:08Not much of a soiree. I suppose we've missed it?
36:10Strange.
36:12Miss Hart assured me that the party would go till dawn.
36:15Look, you stay here with the driver and I'll go take a look.
36:18Oh, er, something to remember me by.
36:21In case I never see you again.
36:25Take me, McBride.
36:27I'm ready to go.
36:29Ready to go to the place where the streams of whiskey are flowing.
36:33Where is this place?
36:35I believe he's referring to his version of heaven.
36:37Let's go, Shane.
36:38And let these good people enjoy their party.
36:41Oi, big fella.
36:46I'll take that, Mr McCowan.
36:49Just being of assistance, sir.
36:51Merry Christmas, sir.
36:53I suppose you lot were all just waiting for me to show up and do something.
37:00No, Shane.
37:14Terribly sorry for the interruption, ladies and gentlemen.
37:17But let's not let a little thing like hostage taking ruin our evening.
37:22Gentlemen.
37:30That's a nice necklace.
37:32This old thing, I've had it for ages.
37:39Rose.
37:41We really should leave, Henry.
37:43With you?
37:45I don't know why. I saw it and I took it sometimes when I see something I want.
37:47I can't help it. I just, we really have to leave, Henry.
37:49Please, please, please, please.
37:51Quite the soiree for Christmas Eve, isn't it, Higgins?
37:54Definitely a step up from bobbing for bloody apples.
37:57Right you are, sir.
37:59Henry, let's go.
38:01Yes, let's.
38:03Oh, young love.
38:05It's definitely overrated, darling.
38:09Oh.
38:14Begging your pardon, ladies and gentlemen.
38:17But I need a word with our hostess.
38:20She's been so busy making sure this party is a success
38:24that I haven't had a chance to say a word to her.
38:28So I thought this was the only way to get her attention.
38:31Miss Hart, thank you for this party and the rather unexpected floor show.
38:36But I am left with a question.
38:41And I need an answer.
38:43The man's got stones, I'll give him that.
38:45Oh, indeed he does.
38:47Miss Violet Hart, on this most auspicious evening,
38:53will you do me the honor of being my wife?
38:57Yes, sir.
39:11Ladies and gentlemen, the bar is open.
39:15Yes, that includes you.
39:19Well, that all worked out, didn't it?
39:21Well, yes, sir.
39:23It certainly did.
39:32Merry Christmas.
39:36I got enough to cover your debts.
39:39Thanks, love.
39:42That was the bravest thing I ever saw.
39:45I'd never let ill come to you, Christine.
39:53Looks like you've gotten a chance at a fresh start.
39:56Perhaps you should take it.
39:58I surely will, sir. I surely will.
40:01We'll keep our noses clean.
40:02We'll keep our noses clean.
40:07Merry Christmas.
40:11You sure you got enough to cover it all?
40:14More than enough.
40:16So would you say no to another drink, then?
40:18I thought you'd never ask.
40:20But first, we have to make this right.
40:29Iggy, miss, that was quick.
40:30Well, Ruth has something that she would like to say.
40:33Isn't that right, Ruth?
40:35Somehow these ended up with my things.
40:38Not quite sure how.
40:40Ended up?
40:42That's what I said. Just ended up there.
40:44And Ruth would like to say she is very sorry, wouldn't you, Ruth?
40:49I'm very sorry.
40:53It's just sometimes I see something that I want and something just comes over me.
40:57She's my little magpie.
40:59Well, we'd best be off.
41:02Merry Christmas, Brackery Reeds.
41:04Merry Christmas, Higgins.
41:06Newsome.
41:08Blondiere.
41:11It's the exact one.
41:14I see you admiring it every time we walk past Russell's.
41:17I believe I owe your sisters an apology.
41:20Yes, you do.
41:22If I may, you people opened your hearts.
41:25You people opened your hearts and your purse to me.
41:28And I can't give you much but a song.
41:39It was Christmas Eve, babe
41:44In the drunk tank
41:48An old man said to me
41:52Won't see another one
41:57And then he sang a song
42:01The rare old mountain dew
42:05I turned my face away
42:09And dreamed about you
42:14Got on a lucky one
42:18Came in eighteen to one
42:23I've got a feeling
42:27This year's for me and you
42:31So happy Christmas
42:36I love you, baby
42:40I can see a better time
42:43There you go.
42:45I'll take a look at you.
42:49I've brought the mistletoe.
42:51Merry Christmas.
42:58Take the long way home, driver.
43:06You were handsome.
43:08You were pretty, queen of New York City
43:10When the band finished playing, they howled out for more
43:12Caruso was swinging, all the drums they were singing
43:15We kissed on the corner, then danced through the night
43:18The boys of the Trotto Petey Choir were singing
43:22Galway Bay
43:24And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day
43:27I miss you, too.
43:32But I'll be seeing you soon.
43:42I love you.
