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 the 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, eh?
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.
03:00But 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, 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.
04:11You 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 Gisher.
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, and 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.
05:59Yes?
06:01I 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.
06:13I thought you would like it.
06:15Well, 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.
06:31Squeal, piggy, squeal.
06:32I want to play squeal, piggy, squeal.
06:34I would love to play, as long as the two handsome gentlemen will join in.
06:39Did you hear that, sir?
06:40Handsome.
06:42Don't get excited, Higgins.
06:44That one would take a run at anyone in a pair of trousers.
06:47And I mean anyone.
06:49Oh.
06:57Do you mind if I join you a moment?
06:59Oh, be my guest.
07:04You look like a man with something on his mind.
07:07More like someone.
07:09Oh, must be nice.
07:11But I had a question for you.
07:13Question?
07:14Well, advice, actually.
07:16On your feet, lazy bone.
07:19What's your name?
07:20I'm Rosita.
07:22And you?
07:24Domenico.
07:29I'm slow, I'm a bit fast.
07:32Can't be too fast.
07:34Can't be too fast.
07:35There be the...
07:37Hi, I'm Domenico.
07:39Hi.
07:40Hi.
07:41I'm Domenico.
07:42I'm slow, I'm a bit fast.
07:44I can't be too fast.
07:46I'm slow, I'm a bit fast.
07:48♪♪
07:57Toronto Constabulary.
07:59Uh, evening, gentlemen.
08:00I know my license isn't yet renewed,
08:02but these folks have nowhere else to go.
08:04They deserve a little Christmas cheer.
08:06We don't care about that.
08:08Oh! You in for a drink?
08:10No.
08:11We're looking for Shane. He's even by.
08:14Oh, uh, you can tell him.
08:17Shane was by, but I had to throw him out.
08:20Why?
08:21Oh, he was pestering everyone trying to catch a free drink.
08:23He threw him out every time he did that.
08:25He'd never be in.
08:26Yeah, yeah, I know.
08:27But this night, I was fed up,
08:28so I threw him out on his arse.
08:30Any idea where he might have gone?
08:32Oh, this time of the night,
08:33I'll try Sally McLevitt.
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 at the back of her store.
08:42Pachine?
08:43Uh, raw liquor.
08:44Dirt cheap.
08:45Dirt cheap.
08:46But Shane's got a taste for it.
08:48Well, there isn't a liquor maid
08:49that Shane doesn't have a taste for.
08:51Come on.
08:52I know where she is.
08:53Hey, Shane in any trouble?
08:56No more than normal.
08:58So plenty, then.
08:59Hey, coppers.
09:01Best of the season to you.
09:07Where's that little piggy?
09:10Whew.
09:14This is so silly.
09:17Squeal, piggy, squeal.
09:19Oink, oink, oink.
09:21Oh, well, that is most definitely Thomas.
09:26Remind you of old times?
09:28Me on your lap and you getting fresh.
09:30There were no old times,
09:31and I'm not getting fresh.
09:33You can believe what you want.
09:35All right, Amanda, that's enough.
09:36Get off my husband's lap.
09:37Go.
09:38I'll go look for the mistletoe.
09:39Oh, 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
09:49in our fairy home.
09:51That should certainly show my sisters
09:53the 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?
10:02I keep it by the bar.
10:03Have you moved it?
10:04I certainly did not.
10:08Another game, another game.
10:11Yes, as long as I get to...
10:12You know, sir,
10:13sometimes Ruth just throws away my things
10:15if she doesn't like them.
10:16Margaret wouldn't do that.
10:18Oh, and Higgies,
10:19you shouldn't let your wife
10:20ride roughshod over you.
10:23Sometimes it's just easier, sir.
10:25I know, I 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
10:39did he get himself into this time?
10:41He's on the run from the Murphys.
10:43Then he'll be grand.
10:44The Murphys won't do much more
10:45than give Shane a beating,
10:46and 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.
10:5618 to 1 odds.
10:57He placed the bet.
10:58How did the horse do?
10:59Pulled up lane,
11:00never finished the race.
11:02So he owes these Murphys money.
11:04Wow, the Murphys don't touch the ponies.
11:06Then why are these Murphys after him?
11:09He must owe them money
11:10for something else.
11:12Might he have left the city?
11:14Shane's no runner.
11:16This dirty old town's
11:17the only place he knows.
11:19You there.
11:21I think it's safe to say
11:22Shane's got himself into
11:23a proper mess this time.
11:25Shortly after you left,
11:26McBride showed up.
11:28Listen up!
11:31Ten dollars,
11:32whoever can bring me Shane McCowan!
11:41He didn't say anything
11:42about alive or dead,
11:43but I'll wager the former.
11:45Is that so?
11:46Don't he deny himself the pleasure?
11:48If McBride's after Shane,
11:49you have to help me find him.
11:52We'll do our best.
11:54In for a dime,
11:55in for a dollar, I'd say.
11:57I have an idea where to look.
12:00♪♪♪♪
12:04Ah, Llewellyn.
12:07Chateau O'Brien.
12:10Oh, no, Violet,
12:11I cannot accept.
12:13Well, it's not from me.
12:15Then who?
12:16A secret admirer, I suppose.
12:18Oh.
12:21Oh, that's the stuff.
12:24Enjoy it.
12:26And if you're lucky,
12:27enjoy what's to come.
12:28Oh.
12:30♪♪♪♪♪
12:37♪♪♪♪♪
12:46Why would he come here?
12:47Shane often ends up down here
12:49when he hits hard times.
12:51Oh, no, blood.
12:53Don't go any further, miss.
12:57♪♪♪♪♪
13:02♪♪♪♪♪
13:08Good Lord, that's Shane.
13:11♪♪♪♪♪
13:17Uh, crystal chandelier.
13:19Um, a broom.
13:22A Christmas ornament.
13:23A lampshade.
13:25A candy cane.
13:26A bell, a bell.
13:28Oh, oh, a statue.
13:31Mm-hmm.
13:32A tree?
13:34A different sort of tree.
13:36No, no, no.
13:38A beautiful giraffe.
13:39Oh, Henry, I'm not trying to be a giraffe.
13:41Don't be silly.
13:42If I was trying to be a giraffe,
13:43I would just do this.
13:45See?
13:46Are you sure you're not a tree?
13:48So your flask is missing,
13:50and you think one of my sisters took it?
13:52Well, someone did.
13:53Well, it wasn't my relatives.
13:55You likely just misplaced it.
13:57I didn't misplace it.
13:58Mind yourself.
13:59Amanda, she's told me all about you.
14:01All about?
14:02There is nothing all about.
14:03Well, that's not what she said.
14:05Look, I know she's an attractive woman,
14:07and she probably reminds you of me, but...
14:09I'm not interested in your sister.
14:11I just want my bloody flask back.
14:13Ah.
14:14Eat a cactus.
14:16Yes, thank you.
14:17A cactus.
14:18It's plain as day.
14:19A cactus.
14:20How clever, dear.
14:21And you're telling me that's not some sort of tree?
14:23It is not a tree.
14:24It is a succulent.
14:25A what?
14:31Shane lost his cross.
14:32It doesn't mean anything.
14:34Well, the pool of blood is somewhat concerning.
14:39Was he wearing it when you were arrested?
14:42Oh, I can't remember.
14:43Look, truth be told,
14:44both Shane and I had a thirst like the devil today,
14:47but I think he had it on.
14:49Where else might he have gone?
14:51Well, this was my best guess.
14:54Well, I'm afraid there's not much more we can do for you.
14:57So you're going to abandon me and let a good man die?
15:00On Christmas Eve?
15:02A good man?
15:03He sounds like a drunkard, a gambler,
15:05and a thief who owes money all over town.
15:07That makes him no less a good man.
15:09Some 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.
15:17You know, you two go back to your cozy homes
15:19and 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,
15:31they're going to need our help.
15:34You really don't want to go to the Brackenreeds' party, do you?
15:38It's protecting and serving, sir.
15:44For many, acting is not as easy as it looks.
15:46Myself, it seems, it's just in my blood.
15:49I hardly have to give any thought to bringing life into my performances.
15:52I just empty my head of all thoughts and do.
15:56That must be a struggle for you.
15:58It is. It is. Thank you.
16:00I have so many thoughts rattling around in this brain of mine.
16:03I thought I heard something when you shook your head.
16:05I thought it was marbles.
16:08Did that Cal Whitman fellow really try and kill you?
16:11He did. He did.
16:12But, in truth, who could blame him?
16:14Who could blame him? He was consumed with jealousy and envy.
16:17Aware that his talents really couldn't compete with...
16:20Oh, Henry, where's my drink?
16:22Oh, right away, Ruthie-boo.
16:24No, no, no. Not in public. Not in public.
16:27But, yes. Oh, Cal Whitman was a bounder and a cad and a phony.
16:32He must have fit well in your business.
16:34Oh, Pete.
16:35You seem troubled, sir.
16:38One of Margaret's sisters stole my flask. I'm sure of it.
16:41Which one?
16:42Well, they all have their reasons.
16:44Beatrice is a teetotal, so she doesn't like me drinking.
16:48Camilla hates the police, and me in particular.
16:51So she would do it just to spite me.
16:53And Amanda, sir?
16:54Oh, Amanda.
16:55She would do it just to tease me.
16:57She has the hots for me. Always has.
16:59The hots for you, sir?
17:01Yes.
17:02Is that strange to contemplate?
17:04I mean, it's...
17:06No, sir. It's not strange at all.
17:09Just see what you can find out, Higgins.
17:11The tidings we bring to you and your kin.
17:15We wish you a merry Christmas.
17:19I need to step inside for a moment.
17:21You 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 working on Christmas Eve?
17:32Oh, Christmas is for everyone, sir.
17:34Even the lost souls.
17:36I keep my place open on the Eve for their comfort and camaraderie.
17:39My family understands that I'll be there for them on Christmas Day.
17:43That's very generous of you.
17:45It can be a lonely time, Christmas.
17:47For some, sir.
17:52Miss Hart.
17:53Detective.
17:54Well, I must say this is a surprise.
17:56What are you doing here on Christmas Eve?
17:59I'm looking for an Irish man named Shannon.
18:02The man with the rotten mouth and the powerful thirst.
18:05That sounds like him.
18:07Well, I haven't seen him in months.
18:09Not since I banned him.
18:11Let me guess.
18:12He owes you money?
18:13Indeed.
18:14I've also caught him here after hours more than once.
18:17Colorful character.
18:18Always hoping he could pay his bill with stories.
18:22What did he do?
18:23I have no idea, but some very dangerous people are after him.
18:27And you're trying to save him.
18:29That's a noble pursuit on Christmas Eve.
18:33Can I offer you a drink?
18:34It's quite lively in here tonight.
18:37Thank you, but it is lively enough for me out there.
18:43Oh, Orion!
18:44No.
18:48Oh, the chief constable!
18:49You were trying to be the chief constable.
18:50No, she's bloody not.
18:52Oh, hello.
18:54Aren't you the saucy one?
18:56Excuse me, I'm sorry.
18:57No, no, no need for apologies.
18:58I know you've been eyeing me up since you got here.
19:01Don't think I haven't noticed?
19:03Oh, the wind! The wind!
19:04You are trying to be the wind.
19:05No, I will confess.
19:06I've always been attracted to a man in uniform.
19:09Well, I'm not in uniform.
19:11In or out.
19:13Doesn't matter much to me.
19:16Well, I think I've had just about enough.
19:18I'm leaving.
19:19No need for you to come along.
19:20Ruth!
19:21Higgins, please!
19:22Ruth!
19:23Don't, don't, don't touch me!
19:24You two-timer!
19:25I didn't do anything.
19:26Well, it certainly didn't look like that.
19:27She made a play for me.
19:28You?
19:30I think she's a sex maniac.
19:32The chief constable told me as much.
19:33She even made a pass at him.
19:35Him?
19:36Well, that's what I thought.
19:37I think it's true.
19:39You're mine.
19:41Forever and ever left of.
19:43And you don't have eyes for anybody else?
19:45I would rather be blind if I couldn't look at you every morning.
19:52I have a new game.
19:54Who wants to play?
19:55Who wants to play?
19:56Joy to the world!
19:58The Lord is come!
20:00Let earth receive her King!
20:05Let every heart prepare Him room.
20:10And heaven and nature sing.
20:12And heaven and nature sing.
20:14And heaven and nature sing.
20:16And heaven and heaven and nature sing.
20:21Bravo!
20:23That was lovely.
20:24Oh, thank you.
20:25And if you need a place to celebrate Christmas, we can offer shelter.
20:29Wow.
20:30Thanks, chief.
20:31But we've got plenty of places to celebrate.
20:35But do you know where else he could be?
20:37Oh.
20:38We haven't found him by now.
20:40He's long gone.
20:42I'm sorry, Christy, but I'm sure he'll fare well.
20:45When is he not?
20:47I suppose.
20:49Well, that's that then.
20:50Thanks for your help, coppers.
20:52You've done right by us.
20:54It's appreciated.
20:58That's Shane.
21:08So be easy and free
21:11When you're drinking with me
21:14I'm a man you don't meet
21:17Every day
21:18Every day
21:28Well, that was lovely.
21:30Brings a tear, it does.
21:32So what now?
21:36Get out of here.
21:38But that's paid, is it?
21:39Fair from that.
21:41But the Lord's mercy is with you on this holy night.
21:43Now, Scatato.
21:45You know I'm good for it.
21:46Well, you bless me.
21:47Old Fetcher again?
21:51Well, as soon as we've done our good deed for the year.
21:55I'd be proud.
21:56Would she know?
21:59Huh?
22:01Where is he?
22:04Who?
22:06Don't be playing deaf with me, boy.
22:08I heard him caterwauling a mile away.
22:11It's almost Christmas Day.
22:13The day of the birth of our Lord and Saviour.
22:16Aye.
22:18We opted for mercy.
22:20Oh.
22:22Not a wise move.
22:30Who did this to you?
22:32Someone a bit more skilled in the art of festy-cuffs than ourselves.
22:37You were messing with McBride.
22:38More like he was messing with us.
22:40Seems like we're not the only ones Shane's in debt to.
22:43Did he take Shane?
22:44No.
22:45Shane scarpered before McBride showed up.
22:47Where?
22:49Down Macall.
22:51Did you tell this McBride fellow where he went?
22:53We did not.
22:55We sent McBride off in the wrong direction.
22:57Oh.
22:58Do you two require medical assistance?
23:04Why?
23:05Ain't nothing alien to us.
23:08Well, this could go on all night.
23:12You think he's safe and sound then?
23:14He appears to have avoided trouble so far.
23:18Thank you, gentlemen, for your help.
23:20But I think we've gone as far as we can go.
23:22Aye, it's probably long gone.
23:24You all have some place to spend Christmas, I take it?
23:27Oh, the city's our home.
23:28That's good enough for us.
23:30But thanks for helping us out with Shane.
23:32Merry Christmas, sirs.
23:34All right, the coppers are gone.
23:36Where did Shane get off to?
23:38Don't know about that.
23:40But I'll know where he was heading when I caught up with him.
23:45Some assistance would be appreciated.
23:48I didn't think you invited us here to work.
23:51Oh, well, I'll help, Mrs. Brackenreid.
23:53Oh, no, you mustn't.
23:54You're the guest of honor.
23:55Oh, no, I'd be delighted.
23:57Oh, well, I'll help, Mrs. Brackenreid.
23:59Oh, no, you mustn't.
24:00You're the guest of honor.
24:01Oh, no, I'd be delighted.
24:02Henry, go get some apples.
24:04You do have apples, don't you?
24:07Oh, indeed, we do.
24:08Henry, those apples now?
24:10Just a second.
24:11The rest of us should choose a partner.
24:13I choose Henry.
24:14Oh, no, no, no, sorry.
24:16You can't.
24:17Henry is allergic to water.
24:20Allergic to water?
24:22How does he bathe?
24:23Infrequently, unfortunately.
24:25But I'll be your partner.
24:27Given the size of your mouth, I'm sure you'll have no trouble snagging an apple.
24:30And I mean that in the nicest way possible, of course.
24:34For some, a big mouth is a sign of beauty.
24:38This is bollocks.
24:40No one to play, sir.
24:42Margaret's Christmas present has gone missing.
24:44You keep an eye on this lot.
24:46I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
24:47Sir.
24:49Mr. Higgins.
24:50Oh, it's Higgins.
24:52Oh, of course.
24:53I'm sorry to hear about your affliction.
24:55It must be terrible.
24:57My what?
24:58Oh, no.
24:59Henry doesn't like to talk about it.
25:00Do you, dear?
25:01Quite right.
25:03Well, I think we'll begin with Beatrice and Margaret.
25:08Ah.
25:10What the hell?
25:25Thank you, Mike.
25:26Oh, not at all.
25:27Be my guest.
25:28Not at all.
25:29I'm so glad you came.
25:31I know this isn't a normal Christmas celebration.
25:33No, no.
25:34It's better.
25:36You know, Violet isn't fond of many people, but she does like you.
25:38And I like her as well.
25:40Yeah, 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.
26:00Uh, well, she could do much worse.
26:03Do you think she'll say yes?
26:05Not until then I can answer.
26:06Like you're saying, she is a mystery.
26:11Well, I suppose there's only one way to find out.
26:14Uh-huh.
26:28Um.
26:52What do you think you're doing?
26:54Are you thieving?
26:55Quite the opposite.
26:57I'm actually looking for a thief.
26:59You coppers are all alike.
27:01Suspicious of anyone that isn't your own kind.
27:04Look 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, Peggy?
27:23Well, that's it. You can do it. Just try harder.
27:26You trying to kill me?
27:28I 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.
27:39Please, 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?
27:48He was going through our belongings in the bedroom.
27:50Thomas!
27:51Well, if you wanted to see my unmentionables, you just had to ask.
27:54I did not want to look at your...
27:56Margaret, 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.
28:16But if you want proof that I didn't take it, I'd be happy to have you search me.
28:19Oh, 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.
28:32The doctor said that it was just a condition.
28:35You're awful!
28:38Excuse me, excuse me.
28:39We really should finish the game.
28:41It's not Christmas until we finish the game.
28:44It's not Christmas.
28:47Get out.
28:48Camilla.
28:49Beatrice.
28:50Amanda!
28:51Get out!
28:53Margaret!
28:54Get out!
28:55Get out of here!
28:56Out!
28:58Out!
28:59Out of my house!
29:01Not you, Tolis!
29:04Merry Christmas.
29:05Merry Christmas, Iggy.
29:07My Christmas!
29:18Thank you both.
29:19Every holiday, some family's got to make an impossible choice.
29:22Celebrate or put food on the table.
29:25You do good work, on this and every night.
29:30Well, it's far too late to head to the Bracken Reeds now, wouldn't you say?
29:33Far too late.
29:36What do you say, Murdoch?
29:37Drink with the boss on Christmas Eve?
29:40I could certainly do worse.
29:49I heard the trumpet player.
29:52I wanted to thank him for the wine.
29:54You thought it was Leonard.
29:56Is that his name?
29:57Indeed.
29:59Don't worry.
30:00This is going to be fun.
30:03Can we?
30:05Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce star of the silver screen, Ruth Newsome.
30:12Oh.
30:16Well, isn't this nice?
30:20Nice to?
30:21Yes, they've decided to respect my privacy.
30:26Did you enjoy the wine?
30:29Oh, very much so.
30:33Surprised to see me?
30:34No.
30:37Pleased is more like it.
30:39I thought you were attending to your studies.
30:42I came back to Toronto for the holidays.
30:45Well, I'm happy to see you.
30:47And the wine was delicious.
30:51I just happened to have another bottle.
30:53I just need a place to drink.
30:55It's quite noisy here.
30:59Crowded.
31:00Much, much too crowded.
31:02I'll grab my coat.
31:03Uh-huh.
31:19Be good lads and don't tell a soul.
31:21I just need a place to rest.
31:23We won't if you don't.
31:24Deal.
31:28I know another way.
31:32What?
31:37Margaret?
31:39Don't, Thomas.
31:41Just don't.
31:43No children, no visitors.
31:46This is the worst Christmas ever.
31:48Does it need to be?
31:49Well, it is.
31:51It hasn't even started yet.
31:54Thomas, just...
31:58What are you doing?
32:00Let's go dancing.
32:02Now? On Christmas Eve?
32:05Miss Hart is holding a soiree at the Starbright Club.
32:08I think that you should go and put on your dancing shoes.
32:11You don't even like dancing.
32:13No, 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.
32:27Oh!
32:33Spruce Pier?
32:34You don't drink, detective.
32:36Only on the rarest of occasions.
32:44Violet, could I have a moment?
32:47Yeah.
32:48Isaiah, I thought we agreed no presents.
32:52Well, this isn't exactly a present.
32:56Violet Hart.
32:59Nobody moves!
33:03Show yourself, Shane!
33:06Or your life is gonna forever change.
33:14Let me go!
33:15Shut your gob!
33:18You, sit down.
33:20Toronto Constabulary, put down the weapon.
33:23I don't want any trouble.
33:25A curious way of showing that.
33:27I'm simply here to see a death is properly settled.
33:31I want to see Shane McCowan.
33:33Well, Shane most certainly is not here.
33:36You're the only boozer in town still open.
33:39I'd hardly call my club a boozer.
33:42Let the young lady go and there'll be no further trouble.
33:45There'll be no further trouble if you deliver me McCowan.
33:49Then I will.
33:50Let 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.
34:27What do we do, sirs?
34:29We could rush him.
34:30There's no way he could get all of us.
34:32Sir, the 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?
34:40I have to agree with Henry.
34:42Thank you, sir.
34:44Regardless 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, soddies.
34:57Good people can enjoy their Christmas.
35:00Say something, huh?
35:02Shane!
35:04If you're here...
35:06Run!
35:07Not that!
35:09We have no choice.
35:10We're going to have to rush him.
35:11You're right.
35:12Shane!
35:14Get out here and face the music.
35:16Or 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?
35:26You leave her be, McBride.
35:28I thought that would get your attention.
35:33My money.
35:34I don't have it.
35:36But I can pay with my life if you let her go.
35:38No, run, Shane.
35:40I will not.
35:41McBride shoots me, the coppers will surely get him.
35:44Then you won't get away without him any longer.
35:46No.
35:47I won't leave.
35:49Christy, I loves you.
35:51I blessed the day I found you.
35:53I got no life without you.
35:54You're the measure of my dreams.
35:57Shane.
36:02Mrs. Brackenry?
36:05I can't hear any music.
36:07Not much of a soiree.
36:08I suppose we've missed it?
36:10Strange.
36:11Miss Hart assured me that the party would go till dawn.
36:14Look, you stay here with the driver.
36:16I'll go take a look.
36:17Oh, er...
36:18Something to remember me by.
36:20In case I never see you again.
36:24Take me, McBride.
36:26I'm ready to go.
36:28Ready to go to the place where the streams of whiskey are flowing.
36:31Where is this place?
36:33I believe he's referring to his version of heaven.
36:35Let's go, Shane.
36:37Let these good people enjoy their party.
36:40Oi, big fella.
36:45I'll take that, Mr. McCowan.
36:47I'll take that, Mr. McCowan.
36:48Just 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.
37:01Hey.
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.
37:23Gentlemen?
37:31That's a nice necklace.
37:32This old thing, I've had it for ages.
37:40Bruce!
37:41We really should leave, Henry.
37:43With you?
37:44I don't know why.
37:45I saw it and I took it.
37:46Sometimes when I see something I want, I can't help it.
37:47I just...
37:48We really have to leave, Henry.
37:49Please, please, please, please.
37:50Oh, Bruce.
37:51Hello.
37:52Soiree for Christmas Eve, isn't it, Higgins?
37:55Definitely a step up from Bobby for bloody apples.
37:57Oh, right you are, sir.
37:59Henry, let's go.
38:00Yes, lads.
38:02Oh, young love.
38:04It's definitely overrated, darling.
38:15Begging 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.
38:27So I thought this was the only way to get her attention.
38:31Miss Hart, thank you for this party
38:32and the rather unexpected floor show.
38:37But I am left with a question.
38:42And I need an answer.
38:44The man's got stones.
38:45I'll give him that.
38:46Oh, indeed he does.
38:47Miss Violet Hart, on this most auspicious evening,
38:54will you do me the honor of being my wife?
38:58Yes.
39:10Ladies and gentlemen, the bar is open.
39:14Yes, that includes you.
39:18Well, that all worked out, didn't it?
39:21Well, yes, sir.
39:23It certainly did.
39:32Merry Christmas.
39:37I got enough to cover your debts.
39:40Thanks, love.
39:43That 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.
40:06Merry Christmas.
40:10You sure you got enough to cover it all?
40:12More than enough.
40:13So would you say no to another drink, then?
40:15I thought you'd never ask.
40:18But first, we have to make this right.
40:27Iggy, miss, that was quick.
40:29Well, Ruth has something that she would like to say.
40:31Isn't that right, Ruth?
40:33Somehow, these ended up with my things.
40:36Not quite sure how.
40:38Ended up?
40:39That's what I said. Just...
40:40Ended up there.
40:42And Ruth would like to say she is very sorry, wouldn't you, Ruth?
40:47I'm...
40:49very sorry.
40:51It's just...
40:52Sometimes I see something that I want,
40:54and something just comes over me.
40:56She's my little magpie.
40:58Well, we'd best be off.
41:01Merry Christmas, Brackenwraiths.
41:02Merry Christmas, Higgins.
41:04Newsome.
41:06Long, dear?
41:07It's the exact one.
41:10I see you admiring it every time we walk past Russell's.
41:13I believe I owe your sisters an apology.
41:16Yes, you do.
41:18If I may,
41:20you people opened your hearts and your purse to me,
41:24and I can't give you much but a song.
41:38It was Christmas Eve, babe
41:44In the drunk tank
41:48An old man said to me
41:52Won't see another one
41:56And 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 eight scenes of wine
42:23I've got a feeling
42:26This 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.
42:45Take a look at you.
42:49I've brought the mistletoe.
42:51Merry Christmas.
42:53Shh.
42:58Take the long way home, driver?
43:06You were handsome
43:07You were pretty
43:08Queen of New York City
43:09When the band finished playing
43:11They howled out for more
43:12Caruso was swinging
43:14All the trucks, they were slinging
43:15We kissed on the corner
43:17Then danced through the night
43:18The boys, the trot, oh
43:20On a beady choir
43:22Were singing Galway Bay
43:25And the bells were ringing
43:26Out for Christmas Day
43:28I miss you, too.
43:33I'll be seeing you soon.
43:50I'll be seeing you soon.
