00:00:00You
00:00:30You
00:01:00You
00:01:30You
00:02:00You
00:02:30You
00:03:00You
00:03:10Take the luggage on the back, please Robbie. I I will
00:03:17All right, baby house
00:03:27Good evening
00:03:30Dr. Mitchell, I
00:03:32Hope you're better at diagnosing an illness than you are at recognizing a face
00:03:38Forgive me you weren't expected until next week. I exercised a woman's privilege. I changed my mind woman indeed
00:03:45Yet three years ago was I barely so awful three years ago. Well, you were very young. I
00:03:51know one thing Martha
00:03:53You're very beautiful now. Thank you
00:03:56How is the doctor? Oh, he doesn't change
00:04:00Brilliant aggressive provocative verbose as ever but even he will be at a loss for words when he sees his favorite niece
00:04:16Miracles gentlemen are an apology for ignorance and a retreat for fools
00:04:22You men of medicine are the modern miracle makers
00:04:27To primitive man the human body was a miracle to us
00:04:33It is a structure of some 260 bones and attendant
00:04:38glands muscles blood vessels nerves organs and tissues a complicated structure
00:04:43I grant you but to us
00:04:46No longer a miracle
00:04:51And so today
00:04:53Some of you become doctors in your own right
00:04:57masters of anatomy I
00:05:01Congratulate you are entering the most honorable profession in the world
00:05:09Sometimes too honorable if half my colleagues
00:05:13pursued the study of disease as
00:05:16Trenulously as the honor of knighthood the country would be a damn sight healthier place to live in
00:05:23But let me warn you
00:05:26Your studies do not end here as long as you face the challenge of death. They never will end
00:05:33Remember also the death is not only your enemy. It is your friend
00:05:39Death is an incident producing clay
00:05:43Use it mold it
00:05:45learn from it
00:05:48And finally hearken to the words of mr. Alexander Pope
00:05:54No first thyself
00:05:56Presume not God to scan the proper study of mankind is man
00:06:03Yes, gentlemen, man alive or dead
00:06:17Excuse me, sir. Yes, sir. May I speak to you sir?
00:06:21I
00:06:24Was hoping to have graduated this term sir, not more than I mr. Jackson
00:06:28You'll tell me when I fail won't you sir? I try I work harder than most try to please you please me indeed
00:06:34Do you consider yourself harshly treated? No, sir. I'm justly no sir. I will diagnose the cause of your failure Jackson
00:06:40You are far too emotional
00:06:42Emotion is a drug that dulls the intellect you must learn to approach the science of medicine with a more clinical mind
00:06:47Confine yourself to the abstract when you are capable of doing that then you will graduate with honors. Yes
00:06:54Jackson, yeah, are you short of money?
00:06:58Sometimes it does get a bit difficult. So I asked for a statement not a soliloquy you could assist David to treat the
00:07:04Subjects, you know what to do. Yes, that'll put an extra guinea a month in your pocket. Thank you, sir
00:07:11That's very generous of you, sir
00:07:17Ah
00:07:25Mitchell well another 30 which doctors let loose upon the unsuspecting populace
00:07:35Good heavens
00:07:38Dear child
00:07:40Mitchell we must write and thank Madame Duclos for this this miracle. I thought you didn't believe it. Oh, I do now
00:07:47Gorky long-legged schoolgirl to this
00:07:50You look quite wonderful my dear a
00:07:53Tribute to French cooking. I'm proud of you. Thank you, and I'm grateful to you for sending me to France Mitchell
00:08:00We must drink a toast to France. You're the man for a pretty speech
00:08:02Oh, I could hardly compete with you sir. Would you call my speeches pretty?
00:08:06Tell me my dear. Did you have a good journey?
00:08:08Comfortable, excuse me, sir. There are two gentlemen here with stiff
00:08:12I
00:08:15Beg your pardon
00:08:17With this subject, sir
00:08:19Thank you
00:08:21Yes
00:08:23Attend to this. Will you and don't wait for me. You tell him all about the broken heart you left behind you in Paris
00:08:34Well, are you going to tell me about the broken hearts I trust your interest is purely academic
00:08:42No, oh
00:08:45It's wonderful to be home, I hope you're not going to find Edinburgh dull after Paris
00:08:50Oh it needn't be it could be the most romantic city in the world
00:08:54Then it has secrets. I'd never dreamed of it has and will you show me these secrets dr. Mitchell?
00:09:00some of them
00:09:12Nice and fresh, sir. Just a week in the grave
00:09:22I'll give you five Guinness. Oh five I said
00:09:25Well, dr. Senior such a good customer. Where will you gentlemen be celebrating tonight?
00:09:30Well, I I go to the Mary Duke, sir
00:09:33Take this on account Jackson Jackson when my housekeeper returns you'll get it. It's just a matter of time
00:09:38Jackson Jackson
00:09:40When my housekeeper returns you'll get her to change this go down to the tavern and give them the balance David Jackson. Thank you
00:09:55You'd think the Medical Council could do something about it sir in what way
00:09:59So that academies could be supplied legally with bodies. They could petition Parliament
00:10:06Parliament with 500 walking corpses there. You would think they could spare one the member for Edinburgh will do nicely
00:10:13He's in our Jackson. We don't want it to fall apart in the grind
00:10:36You
00:10:51See them to Willie
00:10:53They call themselves resurrectionists. I suppose they think it adds a classy tone to the profession a Willie

00:11:06There's money in it Willie
00:11:08Do you mean to tell me you'd be after handling a broken down old corpse?
00:11:12That's been in the earth for weeks for the sake of money ain't surprised on you
00:11:16Ah, but the old woman keeps going on about money Willie. Do you know what she was saying to me?

00:19:48It makes the place look untidy
00:19:55Guess the news Willie surprise me old John's been and died on us
00:19:59No, he must have passed away in the night without a word to warn him to hear that Willie the lodgers died
00:20:05Oh, and me money three pounds at us. No, what kind of a man is it would do a thing like that?
00:20:10Presto John to take the easy way out
00:20:17Hey
00:20:23There's business very slack
00:20:25I'm away for some help mrs. Burke. He'll be gone sooner than a dog can wag his tail. That'll be tomorrow
00:20:31I don't know what the rest of my lodgers are gonna say. Well, he's one less to worry about the dirty old swindler
00:20:37Oh stop your moaning and go and put the bed to let sign out
00:20:40What's for dinner
00:20:42Keppers, you can make do with the ones we had yesterday
00:20:45They're still repeating on me if you're down a copper or two
00:20:47You could have fin and haddock or there's one there in the cupboard, but I think he's gone. Oh, so's poor Johnny
00:20:53You know burger he was thinking
00:20:56It's a shame for Johnny to be going to a pauper's grave on him. We an unpaid debt on his day in conscience. Hey
00:21:04Sure, they put them things on very loose. What do you want to work?
00:21:08Could your missus go down to the pub and get a can of gin?
00:21:11And what do you think I'm gonna use for money? Stop your clacking woman. Have you no respect for the dead?
00:21:16Here they're not so generous when it comes to paying your share of the house. There's your man here says be up with you. Yeah
00:21:22We can get six Guinness for him up at the doctor's place and that would wipe out the debt
00:21:26I and besides giving him his rightful chance to salvation. It's a great pleasure to be doing someone a kind service
00:21:33If only I knew
00:21:35How happy he would be and she got a mean old face
00:21:39I'm sure he'd be very happy if he could have a good time with his wife
00:21:43I'm sure he'd be very happy if he could have a good time with his wife
00:21:46I'm sure he'd be very happy if he could have a good time with his wife
00:21:49And she got a mean old face no wonder he died owing me money
00:22:03Out of this nettle rash danger pluck this flower. Thank you, sir
00:22:08Thank you for the flowers. I'm glad you like them
00:22:11Why is he giving this party Jeff to launch you on Edinburgh society?
00:22:16real reason
00:22:18To collect his friends and enemies alike into one room and then insult them all indiscriminately
00:22:26I'd tell you gentlemen medicine is being driven underground
00:22:30The law yields to us the body of a criminal when he is caught and hanged when?
00:22:35We have to wait a very long time for justice to unravel itself
00:22:38Meanwhile, the resurrection is prize a very useful trade really knocks you denied
00:22:42Well, I agree you doctors need bodies for dissection, but to condone the violation of graves by these schools
00:22:48I neither condone nor condemn I accept is the feeding of worms more sacred than the pursuit of truth
00:22:54I think the Reverend feels that to violate the grave is to violate the soul. I do
00:23:00I am told that when the body is clay the soul has already flown one way or the other
00:23:05Fortunately for the poor victims of these grave snatchers. That is true. The soul has left the body
00:23:10Of course, I was wondering why I'd never come across a one in my work
00:23:15Do you deny that the soul exists? I deny nothing. I can show you the heart my dear Reverend
00:23:22Can you show me the soul it is there where?
00:23:26Beneath the armpit between the eyes deep in the abdomen fact that you cannot see it does not prove its non-existence
00:23:33After all, you can't see a thought. No, but you try having one without a brain
00:23:38I'm gentlemen gentlemen
00:23:40The trouble with Knox is he's a teacher. Oh, I'm old-fashioned. You would have too much of anatomy
00:23:46For me a surgeon needs two things a patient disposition and a pair of strong
00:23:53admirable qualifications for a laborer building the Caledonian Canal
00:23:57I suggest you're wasting your talents not to focus. I consider that an insult sir. I complimented your strength
00:24:02Gentlemen gentlemen
00:24:04Is it true what I hear? They say no matter what the complaint you have but one prescription
00:24:10Senna parts, that's a label. I know a lawyer told me the story
00:24:16But you must sue him sometime excuse me
00:24:20That man is doing the devil's work. Hey
00:24:24He does it brilliantly
00:24:32It's
00:24:39Terrible creepy here, isn't it? Well, I need to talk into me
00:24:49Sure, he's the perfect specimen your honor Burke stand aside so the gentleman can see our gentleman
00:24:56Died only a few hours ago your honor. We heard you like some fresh sir. This one's as fresh as a new-cut cabbage
00:25:09Excellent I'll give you seven Guinness. Thank you kindly your honor. Is this all normal line of business?
00:25:15Well, it's mr. Burke here. He's a way of running a small lodging
00:25:21establishment you see and
00:25:23I see
00:25:27Put him in the brass David may the Saints preserve your honor
00:25:35And may his soul rest in peace amen this way
00:25:53Oh
00:26:08How do you do miss Knox, I'm well, thank you. Mr. Jackson. How do you do?
00:26:13Are you not going to introduce me to your friends? Yes, this is Mary Patterson Mary. This is miss Knox
00:26:20How'd you do how'd you do this is dr. Mitchell one of our doctors
00:26:24Oh you one of them are you how'd you do? I'm very pleased to meet you
00:26:29It's a lovely day. Oh, yes. Yes it is
00:26:32Most unexpected for the time of the year. Oh, yeah, it's very much better than yesterday. Don't you think?
00:26:40Is that your boat it's a punt Mary
00:26:45It looks nice I
00:26:48Wish we had one Chris. Well, why don't you borrow it for the afternoon?
00:26:52You'd be very welcome
00:26:55Paddling no fear. I
00:26:58Don't fancy walking here. We're wet drawers. I
00:27:02Think we'd better go Mary. Goodbye. Miss Knox. Goodbye. Mr. Jackson Mitchell
00:27:08Come on
00:27:13Well, she's very pretty isn't she? Yes, she's very pretty I feel sorry for Jackson. Oh
00:27:21Why?
00:27:22Why so hard and he always fails. Well, it's not from lack of encouragement
00:27:26The doctor's been very patient with him. He's been giving him extra coaching
00:27:32But I'm afraid his mind's not on his work
00:27:37Come to that neither is mine
00:27:44What's the matter Mary were you ashamed to introduce me to your friends, oh, they're not exactly friends and I wasn't ashamed
00:27:57I'm proud of you. You know that I'm the proudest man in the world
00:28:02Oh
00:28:06You need a woman about the place
00:28:20Tonight hmm got papers to prepare for tomorrow's lecture

00:31:18Go ahead Satan keep watch what for doers Willie says woman
00:31:25I

00:31:42Willie I won't take a second
00:31:47Albert you wouldn't want to be turning old Aggie head her feeling so weary
00:31:51You're not thinking our intentions of dishonorable you all enough to be me own mother
00:31:58Master so

00:32:10You have a rest a good rest
00:32:16Do you hear that
00:32:19She wants a rest
00:32:22She wants a rest
00:32:26She wants a rest
00:32:30She wants a rest
00:32:32A good rest.
00:32:35Do you hear that, Berkman?
00:32:38She wants a rest.
00:33:02A rest.
00:33:23Hardly a whisper.
00:33:29I'm sure the old girl is better off...
00:33:33She has nowhere to go.
00:33:35That must be a terrible thing when you're old.
00:33:38She bit my hand, Willy.
00:33:40She bit it.
00:33:42Well, you can't blame her for that.
00:33:46Here, put her in here.
00:33:51Hold her up nicely, Berk.
00:33:53You can't blame her for that.
00:34:02A filthy thing.
00:34:06A filthy, rotten thing.
00:34:10Ain't she a beauty, eh, Willy?
00:34:14Ain't she a beauty?
00:34:22Six, seven, eight.
00:34:26You say you found her dead drunk in the street.
00:34:28But fresh blood.
00:34:31And already pickled, as you might say.
00:34:34I prefer the subjects to be pickled externally.
00:34:36This one is liable to explode.
00:34:38However...
00:34:40Her heart, I suppose.
00:34:42You're a great man to be doing business with, Doctor.
00:34:46Do you take the snuff?
00:34:50Would you be wanting a more or less regular supply...
00:34:52Of poor and fortunate like Aggie?
00:34:54There's always a big demand for subjects here.
00:34:56Oh, isn't...
00:34:58Isn't the horror of it?
00:35:00Isn't there hundreds just like her in this old town?
00:35:02Nowhere to sleep and with a frozen cowl.
00:35:06It's a wonder the whole place isn't littered with corpses.
00:35:10Good night, Doctor.
00:35:12Aye, good night to you, Doctor.
00:35:16Probably the best thing for her, eh, Davy?
00:35:18Aye.
00:35:20She was a fair age, sir.
00:35:22She'll serve a more useful purpose now...
00:35:24Than she did in life.
00:35:26Seat her in the morning, will you?
00:35:29Aye, sir.
00:35:31And do you know what?
00:35:33A man could become a millionaire at this game.
00:35:35Do you think so, Willie?
00:35:37Aren't I telling you?
00:35:39And do you know what gives a man pride?
00:35:41Respect of himself to be doing a good job.
00:35:43Just think of it, Willie.
00:35:45Burke and Hare, members of the great medical profession...
00:35:49Draw your attention to the protuberance of the frontal lobe.
00:35:53This gentleman might have been a useful citizen...
00:35:55But he was hanged some twenty years ago...
00:35:58During his entire family.
00:36:00Mr. Jackson?
00:36:06Mr. Jackson?
00:36:08Yes, sir?
00:36:10Will you be kind enough to step off to the platform?
00:36:12Yes, sir.
00:36:14Now, sir, will you please explain to us...
00:36:16How modern surgery might have saved this man from the gallows?
00:36:20Yes, sir.
00:36:22First...
00:36:24Use the pointer, Mr. Jackson.
00:36:28We are waiting.
00:36:30Yes, sir.
00:36:32First, sir...
00:36:34Please don't mumble, sir, and turn your head so the class can hear you.
00:36:40First, by removing the protuberance on the frontal lobe...
00:36:42Removing it?
00:36:44What are you proposing to do, scalp him?
00:36:46Quiet!
00:36:50I'm sorry, sir.
00:36:52You cannot enlighten us?
00:36:54No, sir.
00:36:56Were you not given a thesis to prepare on this subject, Mr. Jackson?
00:36:58Yes, sir, but you see...
00:37:00That will be all.
00:37:02Mr. Smedley?
00:37:08Proceed, Mr. Smedley.
00:37:10Modern surgery could have lifted part of the lobe...
00:37:14Approximately an eighth of an inch...
00:37:16So that the pressure would be taken off the brain.
00:37:18Very good. Continue, please.
00:37:26Quiet!
00:37:32Come all young men and ladies...
00:37:34Now listen unto me.
00:37:40Come all young men and ladies...
00:37:42Now listen unto me
00:37:44Why unto you do I unfold
00:37:46What proved my destiny
00:37:48What are you looking at me like that for?
00:37:50I was just looking.
00:37:54Curtis!
00:38:00Chris!
00:38:04Chris!
00:38:18Help!
00:38:30Mary.
00:38:32It's all right.
00:38:38Oh, you must hate me.
00:38:44Yeah.
00:38:49Where did you go?
00:38:52I went across the road for a wee drink.
00:38:54You know how it is.
00:38:56Yeah, I know how it is.
00:39:02Chris.
00:39:03Yeah?
00:39:06You know you asked me to think about...
00:39:08About marrying me.
00:39:11Well?
00:39:14No, Chris.
00:39:16Couldn't I make you happy, Mary?
00:39:18You see the way I am.
00:39:21Half of me wants to be with you...
00:39:23and the other half keeps tugging the other way.
00:39:26I'm not a good girl for you, Chris.
00:39:28I never was.
00:39:30I need to go out and laugh and have fun...
00:39:33and maybe have a drink too much, you know?
00:39:39I don't want to make you miserable.
00:39:42Look, Mary, I know it's dull for you...
00:39:45sitting about here, but I've got exams to pass.
00:39:48I'm going to be a doctor.
00:39:50I know that.
00:39:52But I will try and take you out more.
00:39:54Honestly, I will.
00:39:56Wait, Chris.
00:39:58You promise me one thing, Mary.
00:40:00What?
00:40:02Stay away from that house.
00:40:04I will try.
00:40:07Believe me, I will. I'll try, Chris.
00:40:09Promise, Mary.
00:40:12I promise.
00:40:13Good.
00:40:14And tomorrow night, I'll take you out...
00:40:16and set the town on fire!
00:40:19Oh, Chris.
00:40:21Let's not talk about fire, Chris.
00:40:29It's the real aristocrat here, Willie.
00:40:32That's the finest whiskey I've ever seen in my life.
00:40:35It suits the color of your eyes.
00:40:37Bloodshot.
00:40:39Keep a civil tongue in your head, woman.
00:40:41Is there nothing for me?
00:40:43What do you want?
00:40:45Oh, I saw the bed to let notice.
00:40:47And if the bed's still vacant...
00:40:49Oh, don't stand there in the draft.
00:40:51Come in.
00:40:57Don't worry. You're with friends.
00:41:00That's more than welcome you are...
00:41:02and that's for truth, Abel.
00:41:04Aye, that's the truth.
00:41:06As welcome as a golden guinea.
00:41:08Hey, would you like a bite of something to sup?
00:41:11Helen, my darling, don't just stand there.
00:41:13Go and get the gentleman a plate of something.
00:41:15You're very kind.
00:41:17I'm a poor man, but I won't be any bother.
00:41:19Oh, sure you'll be no bother at all.
00:41:21Have you been long in Edinburgh?
00:41:23No, I just arrived the day.
00:41:25I'm down from Inveran.
00:41:27That's a walk in the highlands, you see.
00:41:29Is it, now?
00:41:30Did you hear that, Burke?
00:41:31A gentleman's come all the way down from the highlands.
00:41:33Aye.
00:41:35Well, you'll be wanting the bed for long.
00:41:37Ah, well, that's hard to see.
00:41:39I'm looking for work, you see.
00:41:41I see.
00:41:42Tell me, would you take this now?
00:41:44Okay, thank you.
00:41:47Tell me, Mr...
00:41:49McLaren. Angus McLaren.
00:41:52We'll just call you Angus.
00:41:54Tell me, Angus...
00:41:57Have you...
00:41:59Have you got any friends in this town?
00:42:02No, I'm just a crafter.
00:42:04And there are hard times by.
00:42:06So I just thought to myself,
00:42:08it'd be nice to visit the capital
00:42:10and make a decent sum of money
00:42:12so as I could end my days in peace.
00:42:14Isn't that what we all want?
00:42:16Just to end our days in peace.
00:42:19Ah.
00:42:37You've done business with us before, I gather.
00:42:40Oh, aye, sir, that we have.
00:42:43With Dr. Knox.
00:42:45The doctor is occupied at the moment.
00:42:47I'll attend to you myself.
00:42:50I'm Dr. Mitchell.
00:42:54Well, open the box.
00:42:56Aye, sir.
00:43:07Ah.
00:43:09Why do you believe that?
00:43:13This man died only a few hours ago.
00:43:16Oh, aye, that's right, Doctor.
00:43:18You see, we got in quick
00:43:20before the parish undertaker
00:43:22could get us thieving hands on him.
00:43:24Where'd you get him?
00:43:26Well, you see, the poor old soul was lodged...
00:43:30My colleagues had him.
00:43:33That's Mr. Bourke here.
00:43:36And he seemed to take in
00:43:38just old age,
00:43:40passing away in the night.
00:43:43How did he get that bruise?
00:43:45Bruise?
00:43:47Has he got a bruise?
00:43:49Well, look for yourself, man.
00:43:53Ah.
00:43:55Do you see that, Bourke?
00:43:57He's got a bruise on the side of his head.
00:44:00Isn't that amazing?
00:44:02You know, I'm glad you pointed that out, Doctor.
00:44:05I said, where did he get...
00:44:07I don't think there's any need
00:44:09to cross-examine our friends, Dr. Mitchell.
00:44:14We've had several fine specimens
00:44:16from these gentlemen in the past.
00:44:18I was merely trying to establish
00:44:20the cause of death, sir.
00:44:22Don't tell me he was a patient of yours, Mitchell.
00:44:25Yes, I think eight guineas
00:44:27is the current market price, is it not?
00:44:29Eight guineas it is, sir.
00:44:31And as ever, sir, it's a pleasure to be doing business
00:44:34with a fine gentleman like yourself.
00:44:36Aye, that it is, Doctor.
00:44:40Show our friends out, and then lock up, will you, David?
00:44:43Good night to you, Doctor.
00:44:45Good night.
00:44:47Dr. Knox.
00:44:49Dr. Mitchell.
00:44:53Are you satisfied that subject died a natural death?
00:44:56Why do you ask?
00:44:58Those, uh, those two men,
00:45:01what do you know about them, sir?
00:45:03I know nothing, careless.
00:45:05And you'll continue to accept subjects
00:45:07from the moment you see them?
00:45:09Yes, sir.
00:45:11I know nothing, careless.
00:45:13And you'll continue to accept subjects
00:45:15from them without question?
00:45:22I will continue to teach anatomy
00:45:24using the best specimens available
00:45:26to turn out doctors who will replace quacks.
00:45:30Is there anything else?
00:45:32No, sir.
00:45:34Then good night, Mitchell.
00:45:46Is Dr. Knox engaged?
00:45:48No wish to be disturbed. The doctor is busy now.
00:45:51We'd like to see him on an urgent matter.
00:45:53Will you kindly tell him?
00:45:55Come in, gentlemen.
00:45:57This is a great honor.
00:46:00Four of Edinburgh's leading surgeons.
00:46:02Dear me.
00:46:04I hope you still consider it an honor
00:46:06when you've heard the purpose of our visit.
00:46:08Nothing could change my opinion of you, gentlemen.
00:46:10Proceed.
00:46:12Thank you, sir.
00:46:14This is a great honor.
00:46:17Four of Edinburgh's leading surgeons.
00:46:19Dear me.
00:46:21I hope you still consider it an honor
00:46:23when you've heard the purpose of our visit.
00:46:25Nothing could change my opinion of you, gentlemen.
00:46:27Proceed.
00:46:28An article by Dr. Knox.
00:46:30Page 13.
00:46:32But pray don't trouble to find the place, Dr. Elliott.
00:46:34I have an excellent memory.
00:46:36A few months ago, a man came to the Edinburgh Infirmary
00:46:38with an aneurysm connected with one of the larger arteries of the neck.
00:46:41Notwithstanding its obvious characteristics,
00:46:43even to the merest beginner,
00:46:45that it was an aneurysm,
00:46:47a certain distinguished surgeon pronounced it to be an abscess.
00:46:52Accordingly, this celebrity,
00:46:54who was once an amateur member of the ring
00:46:56and who prides himself, among other things,
00:46:58upon the strength of his hands and arms,
00:47:00without pretension to head,
00:47:02plunged his knife into what he believed to be an abscess,
00:47:04and the patient died in a few seconds.
00:47:06Oh, the damned effrontery!
00:47:08How dare you!
00:47:09Dear, is that a challenge?
00:47:11Why didn't you name the surgeon?
00:47:13Are you frightened of a lawsuit?
00:47:15Since we all know your name and your reputation.
00:47:17You heard that, gentlemen.
00:47:18You surprise me, Dr. Ferguson.
00:47:19I would have preferred to remain anonymous.
00:47:21I intend to sue you to the last penny in your possession.
00:47:24A most laudable enterprise.
00:47:26No doubt your preoccupation over a rich harvest
00:47:29will inspire a more adequate excuse for your next failure.
00:47:32Why, you!
00:47:35Why didn't you let him strike me?
00:47:37Or were you thinking he would have provided
00:47:39a more potent weapon in the law courts
00:47:41than a mere wrangle over an undisputed fact?
00:47:48I see before me four white, angry, baffled faces.
00:47:53Why?
00:47:54Because I have written an article?
00:47:56Because I have accused one of you of murder?
00:48:01My friends, go ahead!
00:48:04Take me to the high courts!
00:48:06And in the words of your puppet,
00:48:07sue me for every penny I possess.
00:48:10A business-like venture.
00:48:12I wish you better success in the field of commerce
00:48:14than you have enjoyed in the sacred task of our profession.
00:48:17Is that all you have to say?
00:48:18No.
00:48:20I am aware that the path of truth was never strewn with roses.
00:48:24On every hand, one encounters a grey gauntlet of empty threats.
00:48:28To be condemned by ignorance is a compliment to your knowledge.
00:48:32Croak your miserable way to the law courts, if you dare.
00:48:35I will meet you on the steps with a torchlight
00:48:37to scorch into your souls
00:48:39and leave them bare as a warning to your future victims.
00:48:45And now, if you will be so good as to incline your heads
00:48:47slightly to the right, you will observe the door.
00:48:51Please use it.
00:48:53Why do you deliberately insult them?
00:48:58Are you criticising me?
00:49:00No, not criticising.
00:49:02I wouldn't be so presumptuous.
00:49:04But I'm warning you.
00:49:05Those doctors will harm you if they can.
00:49:08How can they harm me?
00:49:10By making capital out of you.
00:49:12I'm not a doctor.
00:49:13I'm a lawyer.
00:49:14I'm not a lawyer.
00:49:15I'm not a lawyer.
00:49:16I'm not a lawyer.
00:49:17I'm not a lawyer.
00:49:18I'm not a lawyer.
00:49:19How can they harm me?
00:49:21By making capital out of the merest whisper of gossip.
00:49:24Such as?
00:49:26An association with men like Burke and Hare.
00:49:29And who will listen to them?
00:49:31Am I to be as scared of expressing the truth
00:49:33as they are at hearing it?
00:49:35I tell you, Mitchell,
00:49:36it will take more than a handful of quacks to shake me.
00:49:39I am producing surgeons who will fight for humanity,
00:49:41not destroy it.
00:49:43And in the process of doing that,
00:49:44nothing, nothing will stand in my way.
00:49:47The individual is not important.
00:50:13Hey, what's the time?
00:50:14What's it matter?
00:50:16Oh, I said I'd be home to meet Chris.
00:50:18Chris.
00:50:19Thank goodness.
00:50:20Oh, hello, Jamie.
00:50:22Hello, Maggie.
00:50:23I got a little rhyme for you.
00:50:24Why?
00:50:25You stop your fidgeting me now.
00:50:26Come on, what's your rhyme?
00:50:27What's your rhyme, Jamie?
00:50:28It goes like this.
00:50:30There are creepers and crawlers and six-legged bogus
00:50:33and things that go bump in the neck.
00:50:37Oh, that's very good, Jamie.
00:50:39Isn't that good, Maggie?
00:50:40Aye, it's good.
00:50:42I'll give you a penny.
00:50:45It's you to remember the rest of it.
00:50:48Oh, come on.
00:50:50Let's go over to the house, Mary.
00:50:52Come on, there'll be free drinks over there.
00:50:55Oh, you guys, come on.
00:50:58Another time.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:51:00Another time.
00:51:09Mary?
00:51:16What are you doing?
00:51:30Gery, look at her.
00:51:31What's the big idea?
00:51:33She's a doll.
00:51:34Who's gorgeous?
00:51:36Oh, she's got some bling up there, Maggie.
00:51:41Get your coat, Mary.
00:51:46Get out of here.
00:51:53If you want a scene, I'll give it to you.
00:51:56You're drunk, Mary.
00:51:58Let me take you home.
00:52:00Well, let me take you home.
00:52:02How do you hear that?
00:52:04Let me take you home, he said.
00:52:06If you were half a man, you'd drag me out of here by the roots of my hair.
00:52:10But you just tried and I'll kill you.
00:52:13Go home yourself, Chris Jackson, and scratch your wah with your pen like a good boy
00:52:17so the doctor will be pleased with you in the morning.
00:52:20And don't keep a light burning for me because I'll no be back.
00:52:23I'm not going to be bored anymore by your mealy-mouthed talk.
00:52:32Come on.
00:52:33Come on.
00:52:35Come on.
00:52:37Chris!
00:52:43Chris!
00:52:51Chris!
00:53:22What is it, Mary?
00:53:28Nothing.
00:53:30Give me a drink.
00:53:32Of course, me darling.
00:53:39I'm a poor fool to be grieving for the likes of him.
00:53:46Imagine me thinking I could make a man out of a nanny.
00:53:54There's plenty more of that where we're going.
00:53:57Why, where will that be?
00:54:02Tanner's close.
00:54:04Just the three of us.
00:54:06As cozy as three bugs in a rug.
00:54:11It's just around the corner.
00:54:14Just around the corner.
00:54:20Just around the corner.
00:54:25Just around the corner.
00:54:30Just around the corner.
00:54:35Just around the corner.
00:54:41Come on.
00:54:43Mary!
00:54:44What the hell?
00:55:01Where's your wife?
00:55:04She's gone to see her twin sister.
00:55:07He'll wait here.
00:55:08Why will he?
00:55:09What for?
00:55:11Oh, you don't make the place untidy, do you, will you?
00:55:31We're together, Mary.
00:55:42Just the two of us.
00:55:45No!
00:55:47Give me all.
00:55:49I can give you money.
00:55:58No!
00:56:00No!
00:56:03No!
00:56:06No!
00:56:08No!
00:56:09No!
00:56:10No!
00:56:11No!
00:56:13No!
00:56:15No, no please!
00:56:17No!
00:56:18No please!
00:56:19No!
00:56:22No!
00:56:23No!
00:56:24No!
00:56:29No!
00:56:30No!
00:56:31No!
00:56:36No!
00:56:37No! No!
00:56:39No, please!
00:56:41Shut up!
00:56:42Please!
00:56:43Shut up!
00:56:44Please!
00:56:45Shut up!
00:56:46No! No!
00:56:48No!
00:57:08Hey, Willie, that woman's coming.
00:57:12Well, let's get her.
00:57:18What's she doing here?
00:57:20She's dead.
00:57:22Did you touch her?
00:57:23Nobody touched her.
00:57:25Willie just killed her, that's all.
00:57:28Oh, that's all right.
00:57:30We don't want a thing like that in the house.
00:57:32She'll get us a bad name.
00:57:34Look, me and Willie has work to do, so go to bed, woman.
00:57:37What, and her lying there? Get rid of that first.
00:57:39Just look at the mess she's made in my bed anyway.
00:57:50She looks lovely, Willie.
00:57:53You know, I'm thinking the good doctor should give us a bit more this time.
00:58:05Your enemy,
00:58:09it is your friend.
00:58:14Death is an incident
00:58:21producing clay.
00:58:28Oh, you're at work early, Mr. Jackson.
00:58:32Yes, Davy.
00:58:35This one's the best we've had so far.
00:58:38The doctor wants some drawings taken before we put her in the brine.
00:58:46Mold it.
00:58:50Learn.
00:58:53Mold it.
00:59:02Mold it.
00:59:32Mold it.
00:59:54Jackson.
00:59:58Well, what is it, then?
01:00:02What's the matter with you?
01:00:05Jackson!
01:00:13Buckhead.
01:00:16Mr. Jackson Buckhead.
01:00:21Buckhead.
01:00:32What is the matter with Jackson?
01:00:34Aye, he was acting very strange.
01:00:37I can tell you why.
01:00:41Well?
01:00:43Burke and Hare have just brought in the body of a woman named Mary Patterson.
01:00:46She was Jackson's girl.
01:00:50Jackson.
01:01:12You killed Mary Patterson.
01:01:15I never touched her. Be off with you.
01:01:18You killed her.
01:01:20Get back to where you come from!
01:01:22You killed her!
01:01:24You and your cutthroat friends!
01:01:27You killed my Mary!
01:01:30And look at the loss!
01:01:33You killed...
01:01:43Well, Borg.
01:01:46That's one subject we won't be selling to Dr. Knox.
01:02:00Good night, Mr. Hare.
01:02:02Good night to you, sir.
01:02:05Come on, me darling.
01:02:08Hey, you'll be as sober as a judge in the morning.
01:02:16What's the matter with you, Frank?
01:02:18It's fine. We'll see you later, Jamie.
01:02:20I may as well come along with you.
01:02:22Can I give you a hand?
01:02:24He doesn't look very well.
01:02:26He's all right. He's had too much to drink, that's all.
01:02:29I wish I could say the same for myself.
01:02:31Well, here.
01:02:36Mr. Hare, you'll give me a golden chance, won't you?
01:02:39Yes, I will.
01:02:41Mr. Hare, you'll give me a golden guinea?
01:03:12Christopher Jackson.
01:03:14Are you quite sure, sir?
01:03:16Quite.
01:03:18You say he was stabbed?
01:03:20Yes, sir.
01:03:22He was found in an alleyway early this morning.
01:03:27Do you know of any reason why somebody should want to kill him?
01:03:30None. He was a quiet lad, hard-working.
01:03:33He was a good man.
01:03:35He was a good man.
01:03:37He was a good man.
01:03:39He was a quiet lad, hard-working.
01:03:41I don't know about his personal life.
01:03:43Do you, Dr. Mitchell?
01:03:48I can't think why anybody should want to kill him.
01:03:52Well, thank you, gentlemen.
01:03:54I don't think I need detain you any longer.
01:03:57Thank you.
01:04:04Why didn't you convey your suspicions to the police?
01:04:09Did you want me to?
01:04:11And why not?
01:04:13You know what I fear, sir.
01:04:15An opportunity for your enemies to destroy you.
01:04:18Your consideration for me is very touching, Mitchell.
01:04:21However, if you seriously think that Burke and Hare were responsible for Jackson's murder,
01:04:25your duty as a citizen is obvious.
01:04:29Or if you really consider that the life of a street woman is more important than the advance of surgery,
01:04:34then stand in the market square and scream murder to the mob.
01:04:39I was thinking only of Jackson, sir.
01:04:47Hey, come on.
01:04:52Hey, did you see that, Wally?
01:04:54Aye, the good doctor coming away from the police station.
01:04:57A lot of good that'll do the police.
01:05:01What are you skulking there for, you daft loon?
01:05:04Did you get the drug home safely?
01:05:06Aye.
01:05:08We got him home safely, Jamie.
01:05:10I was just asking. You see, I've done a terrible sin.
01:05:13Did you know?
01:05:15I found a man in the alleyway. He was dead.
01:05:20And what was the wicked thing you did then, Jamie?
01:05:24I stole a ring off his finger.
01:05:27And then, you know, I went to confession.
01:05:29And the priest said I should take it to the police.
01:05:32Now, what do you think about that?
01:05:34And did you take it to the police, Jamie?
01:05:37Not yet.
01:05:39You didn't, eh?
01:05:40Well, it's a wise boy you are, Jamie.
01:05:43Wise?
01:05:44Here, have you got it on you now, huh?
01:05:46No.
01:05:48Hey, and if you take my advice, you'll sell it.
01:05:51You see, the Polish may get to thinking that it was you that killed the mob.
01:05:56Now, me and Mr. Burke here, we may be interested in...
01:06:01...paying it from you.
01:06:03Seeing as we're in the trading business.
01:06:05Would you? Would you really?
01:06:07Wouldn't we, Willie?
01:06:08Aye, we would.
01:06:10So you run along and get it, Jamie.
01:06:12Shall I bring it here?
01:06:14No, bring it to the house tonight.
01:06:17Then we can have a wee drink just to celebrate the transaction.
01:06:20There's no time like the night for talking business.
01:06:25Well, what do you think, Willie?
01:06:27I don't think he's half so daft as we thought he was.
01:06:32Jamie!
01:06:33Hello, Maggie.
01:06:34I've been searching everywhere for Mary. Have you not seen her?
01:06:37No, Maggie. I haven't seen Mary for nine or two days now.
01:06:41I'm worried about her.
01:06:42Worried?
01:06:43You were talking to her just now.
01:06:45Oh, I was...
01:06:46Oh, it's a secret, Maggie.
01:06:54Jeffrey.
01:06:57I have a concession to make.
01:06:59Oh?
01:07:01Today I overheard some of the students discussing the doctor.
01:07:05They were saying terrible things, Jeffrey.
01:07:08They were saying that the doctor is in particular
01:07:10how or where he procures bodies for dissection.
01:07:14This isn't true, is it, Jeffrey?
01:07:18Jeffrey, this isn't true.
01:07:22No, Mother.
01:07:24No.
01:07:31Good evening, Mitchell.
01:07:33Can we discuss tomorrow's lecture?
01:07:35And I trust you'll receive my notes.
01:07:37Yes, sir.
01:07:38Our subject is the heart.
01:07:47Don't worry.
01:08:01Hello, Mr. Burke.
01:08:04Hello, Mr. Hare.
01:08:07Hello, hello.
01:08:12Hello, Mr. Burke.
01:08:15Are you there?
01:08:22Hello, Mr. Burke.
01:08:24Hello, Mr. Burke.
01:08:29Are you there?
01:08:34Mr. Hare?
01:08:36It's me, Jamie.
01:08:47Mr. Burke!
01:08:53Mr. Burke!
01:08:55Mr. Burke.
01:09:05Mr. Burke.
01:09:07Mr. Burke.
01:09:20Alan, get out the side. Watch for anyone coming.
01:09:36Alan!
01:10:06Alan!
01:10:21Get in the house, Lily!
01:10:30Get him out of here as soon as you can.
01:10:33What's the matter, Alan?
01:10:34There's no more screaming.
01:10:35Only the pigs.
01:10:38Get the box ready, Burke.
01:10:44Don't forget the ring.
01:10:48That's what he came here for.
01:10:53Murderer!
01:10:57Murderer!
01:11:00Murderer!
01:11:01Murderer!
01:11:02Murderer!
01:11:06He murdered Jamie!
01:11:09Who murdered Jamie? Who?
01:11:10He was barking here. I've seen them. I've seen them.
01:11:13What's it say there?
01:11:18But I tell you, it was murder.
01:11:19And I saw it happen with my own eyes.
01:11:21Just a minute. Just a minute, lady.
01:11:22And he was pouring down.
01:11:23Jamie knows we can cut through his barking hair.
01:11:25We'll murder him.
01:11:26Will you calm yourself, lady?
01:11:27Can you make an accusation of murder against somebody
01:11:29without some proof of the fact?
01:11:31When you come to the house,
01:11:32you might find the evidence you're wanting.
01:11:36What's happened to Jamie, Inspector?
01:11:38He's all right. I don't like this at all.
01:11:40No, no, no, no. Award your hands.
01:11:42There's no call to be greeted yet.
01:11:57All right, Mrs. Burke, where are they?
01:11:59What do you mean?
01:12:00You can't come busting into decent people's homes like that.
01:12:03Where's Duff Jamie?
01:12:04I don't know. I never saw him.
01:12:07I swear it, I never saw him, I tell you.
01:12:09You're lying.
01:12:10No.
01:12:11Leave out of Jamie.
01:12:12No, I didn't.
01:12:13You saw it happen.
01:12:14No, it's not true.
01:12:15And Danny Patterson, you dirty beast.
01:12:17It's not true, I tell you.
01:12:18Stop it, Maria. Stop it.
01:12:20You're best to let go. I don't like it.
01:12:22Stop it, you two. Stop it, Maria.
01:12:24They're dead. They're both dead.
01:12:27And if you want to find them, go to the Academy of Dr. Knox.
01:12:49Dr. Knox.
01:12:50In a few minutes, Burke and Hare will bring you another subject.
01:12:53I beg of you not to receive it.
01:12:55And why not?
01:12:56Because the police know it was murdered.
01:12:58A woman witnessed it.
01:13:04Is this what you mean?
01:13:07Yes.
01:13:09Was this young man well known?
01:13:11Everybody knew Duff Jamie.
01:13:14And a woman screamed to murder.
01:13:16Yet our friends Burke and Hare were not unduly perturbed when they brought him here.
01:13:20Because they know you have more to lose than they.
01:13:22They're relying on you to cover their traces.
01:13:25Are you accusing me of collusion with them?
01:13:27Dr. Knox, I don't know what to believe any longer.
01:13:30But I beg of you, for your own sake, dispose of the body before...
01:13:36You were saying?
01:13:38It's too late.
01:13:40Open the door, lady.
01:13:42My conscience is answerable only to me, Dr. Mitchell.
01:13:46Nothing is too late.
01:13:47Please.
01:13:51I'm sorry to disturb you, Doctor, but I've received some information for this woman.
01:13:55I have already been informed, Inspector.
01:14:02That's him! That's Jamie!
01:14:04Poor Jamie.
01:14:06It was delivered a few minutes ago by two men of the name of Burke and Hare.
01:14:09Have you examined the body?
01:14:11You interrupted my intention, Inspector.
01:14:14Take a look now, Dr. Knox, if you please.
01:14:25Could you state the cause of death?
01:14:29Violence.
01:14:31Without any doubt.
01:14:36They've been murdering right under our noses!
01:14:38And what's the law doing about it?
01:14:40Let's get after them ourselves!
01:14:41Come on!
01:14:50Willie! They're after you!
01:14:51They're coming towards the house!
01:14:53They're coming after the pair of you!
01:14:54Listen!
01:14:56What'll we do, Willie?
01:15:07It's all up with us.
01:15:08They're close by.
01:15:09The warehouse.
01:15:10We can hide there.
01:15:11But what about me?
01:15:12You stay here, woman.
01:15:13No!
01:15:14They'll turn and run at the sight of your ugly face!
01:15:16No! Don't leave me!
01:15:17You coward!
01:15:18You donkey-rotten coward!
01:15:40Come on!
01:16:01They're waiting in the warehouse.
01:16:03They're awaiting the warehouse.
01:16:05Come on!
01:16:06More over here!
01:16:09I come and when he just shows you could never trust a woman
01:16:33Come on!
01:16:42Come on!
01:16:48Come on, Willie.
01:16:57Come on over here.
01:17:20Come on, Willie.
01:17:42Come on, Willie.
01:18:06There he is!
01:18:28They've got the boat!
01:18:59They've arrested Burke and Hare.
01:19:09In the case of the Crown versus William Burke, call the first witness for the prosecution.
01:19:16Call William Hare.
01:19:18William Hare.
01:19:22Silence in court.
01:19:28Place your hand on the Bible.
01:19:30Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
01:19:37For that I do, Your Honor.
01:19:46There's Town King's evidence!
01:19:47What? Is Town King's evidence?
01:19:52In the trial of the Crown versus William Burke, the verdict has been reached.
01:19:59They're guilty!
01:20:01Dr. Knox, no charge!
01:20:03Dr. Knox, no charge!
01:20:06But why should that old scoundrel get away free as air?
01:20:08None of the time-lapse was going on!
01:20:10There's me. One of them deserves to live.
01:20:12And as for Hare, they never did an honest day's work in their lives.
01:20:16At the very least, Knox should be put behind bars!
01:20:19He's as guilty as either of them!
01:20:23Now, if anyone else has anything to say against Knox, he'd better tell me now.
01:20:50Be seated, please.
01:21:05Keep your seats.
01:21:09The subject of this morning's lecture, gentlemen, is neurology.
01:21:20Get it over with!
01:21:27Get it over with!
01:21:29I wonder what he's thinking now!
01:21:34It's a curse on Dr. Knox, I'm thinking, Father.
01:21:37Do you know he never paid us for the last subject we brought him?
01:21:41Now you must make an act of contrition, my son.
01:21:43Ah, that's none of my business, Father.
01:21:45But if he'd paid us for the subject like an honest man,
01:21:48I'd be standing here in a decent pair of trousers,
01:21:51meeting the public as I am for the first time.
01:21:55Miserato gesturami.
01:21:59I hate him!
01:22:16There are no charges against you, Mr. Hale.
01:22:19You're free to go.
01:22:23But the mob...
01:22:25they'll be waiting for me.
01:22:28You can go out the back way.
01:22:32Will you send someone with me?
01:22:35Aye.
01:22:37I'll go with you.
01:22:39I'll go with you.
01:22:41Will you send someone with me?
01:22:44Aye.
01:22:46As far as the door.
01:23:11Aye.
01:23:41Aye.
01:24:12Not me eyes.
01:24:14Not me eyes.
01:24:41I could get the coach round the back for you.
01:24:43It would only take a few minutes longer.
01:24:45Keep the medical council waiting, Davy.
01:24:47That would be unforgivable.
01:24:49Oh, I beg of you not to go out there.
01:24:56Geoffrey!
01:24:58Take care of her, Mitchell.
01:25:01I'll go with you.
01:25:03I'll go with you.
01:25:05I'll go with you.
01:25:07Geoffrey!
01:25:08Take care of her, Mitchell.
01:25:37Geoffrey!
01:25:53He's indestructible.
01:25:55No, he isn't indestructible, Geoffrey.
01:25:58With all the jackals snapping at his heels, he's bound to fall.
01:26:02In a few minutes, he faces the medical council.
01:26:05Doctors who for years have tried to destroy him.
01:26:08And he hasn't got a friend who'll raise a finger to help him.
01:26:16This is not a court of law, Dr. Knotts.
01:26:19The medical council is concerned only with the honour of our profession.
01:26:26Have you nothing to say?
01:26:28Nothing.
01:26:30You are my judges, gentlemen.
01:26:33This is a heaven-sent opportunity.
01:26:36Make the most of it.
01:27:00Mr. Chairman, gentlemen.
01:27:02I don't think we require your presence, Dr. Mitchell.
01:27:05I feel there is something you ought to hear, sir.
01:27:08Very well.
01:27:13Gentlemen, I haven't come here to defend Dr. Knotts.
01:27:17And I'm not going to plead for him.
01:27:19We have all traded in death.
01:27:21Bodies snatched from the grave.
01:27:24Bodies taken from coffins before they went into the grave.
01:27:27In all the years of your experience,
01:27:29can you deny that doubt has ever entered your minds?
01:27:32As to what, Dr. Mitchell?
01:27:33As to the cause of death.
01:27:35This is a scandalous implication.
01:27:36It is more than that. It is an accusation.
01:27:39We are the students of Hippocrates, but some of us are hypocrites.
01:27:43Look into your hearts and seek the truth.
01:27:45And then, then if you condemn Dr. Knotts,
01:27:48ask yourselves whether or not you condemn each other and the entire medical profession.
01:27:52Dr. Mitchell, I demand that you retract that statement.
01:28:00Mr.! Mr.!
01:28:02Give us a henny, Mr.! Give us a henny!
01:28:05And what will you buy with it?
01:28:07Oh, just a few sweeties, that's all.
01:28:10I'm sorry. I haven't any money with me.
01:28:14If you want to come to my house, I'll give you some there.
01:28:17No, thank you. You might send me to Dr. Knotts.
01:28:21For Hitler!
01:28:22For Hitler!
01:28:25For Hitler!
01:28:28For Hitler!
01:28:30♪
01:28:49♪
01:29:11♪
01:29:27Doctor.
01:29:28Davy.
01:29:33Oh, I can't tell you how glad I am to see you.
01:29:38I thought I'd never see you again.
01:29:42And why?
01:29:43Because of the mob. Death to Dr. Knox.
01:29:46They've been shouting it all night.
01:29:48So you didn't expect me to return in one piece?
01:29:51Or perhaps as a subject for my dissecting table?
01:29:55I've only been walking, Martha.
01:29:57All night?
01:29:58All night.
01:29:59Excellent for the Constitution.
01:30:02And most edifying for the soul.
01:30:03The soul?
01:30:04Oh, yes.
01:30:06I admit its existence.
01:30:08We are not demigods, Martha.
01:30:11As a child, I believed in God and the devil.
01:30:15It took a child to show me what I am now.
01:30:20I failed, Martha.
01:30:21Oh, no.
01:30:27Yes, I failed.
01:30:29Oh, I don't care what they say about me.
01:30:31I've listened to the screams of the mob
01:30:33and the howls of deprecation from the Medical Council.
01:30:37Bloodlust and hatred.
01:30:40I bracket my colleagues with the rest.
01:30:43I despise them all.
01:30:44Everyone?
01:30:46Until this morning, yes.
01:30:50But I've just heard the voice of conscience.
01:30:53From a small child, I heard the truth.
01:30:56And what did the voice of conscience say?
01:31:00It said, you are an ogre, Dr. Knox.
01:31:05You have killed humanity.
01:31:07For the sake of humanity.
01:31:11For the sake of achievement, ambition.
01:31:16Those bits of clay, poor lumps of humanity
01:31:18that Burke and Hare brought in.
01:31:21I have to confess to you, Martha,
01:31:24they seem so small in my scheme of things.
01:31:28But I knew how they died.
01:32:06You are exonerated.
01:32:11So, they've decided to let the world judge me.
01:32:17Very courageous of them.
01:32:22It is time for my lecture.
01:32:25I have never missed a lecture, Mitchell.
01:32:28No, sir.
01:32:30It'll be quite a new experience, talking to empty walls.
01:32:33At least, they won't criticize me.
01:32:44Thank you, darling.
01:33:04How are you?
01:33:05Good morning, gentlemen.
01:33:06Good morning.
01:33:07How are you?
01:33:08Good morning.
01:33:09Good morning.
01:33:24Be seated, gentlemen.
01:33:26Before commencing this morning's lecture,
01:33:29let us consider the oath of Hippocrates,
01:33:34the sacred oath of our profession.
01:33:39I will prescribe regimen for the good of my patients,
01:33:43according to my ability and my judgment,
01:33:47and never do harm to anyone.
