- [reflective music] - [waves lap]

[Mary] I never thought I'd struggle

with telling good from evil,

but there was once a time when I lost that certainty,

and everything I thought I knew was just a lie.

[bell tolls]

[lilting music]

One autumn in morning in 1821,

I set off alone

to a place far away from everything I'd ever known.

I had no family left to me

except an aunt I'd met just once.

It was there I was headed,

to the ends of the earth,

to Bodmin Moor.

[lilting music]

[Mother] You need to find a husband to take care of you.

You should take Ned, love,

you know he'd see you right.

You always said if I married

I should love the man.

Have you changed your mind?

Of course I haven't.

Well then.

My mother hid her illness from me,

and her sudden death was more than I could bear.

Mary?

Marry me, Mary.

[Mary] When she'd gone,

my childhood sweetheart Ned

did all he could to make me stay.

But I did not love him.

I thought I had no need of love,

and didn't know its power.

[reflective music]

But as I was soon to learn,

there's nothing so dangerous as a headstrong girl

who knows her own mind.

[reflective music]

[Driver] Launceston, all out.

Smuggler, is he?

10 pounds' King's ransom's what he is,

10 pounds of good ale.

- [chiming music] - [patrons chatter]

How long will it take to change the horses?

I'm going to Jamaica Inn.

[Driver] Jamaica Inn?

If it's work you're after,

you won't find it out there?

I'm expected, it's my uncle's inn.

Well, you can tell your uncle Legassik says hello.

What's your name?

Mary.

It's rough out at Jamaica, Mary,

coaches don't stop there anymore.

Be that as it may, it's where I'm bound.

I'm not afraid of hardship.

It's just the moors for 20 miles.

Some say there's ghosts.

I'm not afraid of ghosts neither.

You bloody cheat!

What are you afraid of?

Get off me!

I saw you! I saw you! You cheat!

[patrons shout]

[Brawler] Come here! Come here!

Get ahold of him, will ya.

[Mediator] Break it up lads. Break it up!

Oi, which one of you took my scuddlin' horse?

Will you drive me to Jamaica Inn, then

or shall I have to walk?

[charming pastoral music]

[sinister music]

Are you Joshua Merlyn?

Is my aunt here?

Aunt Patience?

I'm Mary Yellan.

Patience!

There's a bunch of petticoats here to see you.

What is it, Joss?

Only I was just...

Aunt Patience?

Mary?

Oh it's never you, is it?

Is my sister with you?

She's dead.

Dead?

A month ago.

I wrote to you,

did you not get my letter?

No, no.

She wanted me to come to you.

I have nowhere else to go.

No, no, no, you can't stay here.

Of course she can,

she can work for us,

can't you, Mary?

She's a good girl,

you can see it in her face,

she'll be no trouble.

That depends, hm?

Is she tame or does she bite?

[Mary pants]

Should have made this one a boy.

- Joss- - Shut up.

Me and this girl, we understand each other.

You can get her something to eat,

she's starved to death.

You mustn't mind your Uncle Joss,

there's none round here don't respect him.

He brings me flowers, see.

Here, sit.

Brandy?

You don't drink, eh?

No?

I do.

I drink and I drink,

sometimes when I drink, I talk.

If you ever get too nosy or open that trap of yours,

I'll break you

and make you eat out of my hand.

[melancholy music]

[Patience] Joss, I didn't mean it.

[Joss] Then why'd you say it then?

Joss!

I know you love me.

You're hurting me.

[Patience whines]

[melancholy music]

[she sighs]

[melancholy music]

[sweet music]

[haunting music]

[she sighs]

[haunting music]

You've seen how cast away we are.

I don't go out there,

happy with my chicken run.

Aunt Patience, why are there no customers?

Your uncle doesn't like folks staying.

Lonely spot like this,

we could be murdered in our beds.

How can you live if there's no custom?

People come from all around, thank you very much,

farm cottages, and the mines,

it's evenings when the bar is full of 'em.

So tell me, Mary,

do you got a beau back there at home?

No.

He'll be along soon enough,

a man to stop you thinking straight,

and you'll be off to church before you know it.

I don't know that I want to marry,

unless I really love the man.

Seems to me too many men just make slaves of women.

You'll change your mind, of course you will.

Your uncle says there's silk for sale at Camelford,

lovely Chinese silk,

it'll go cheap as well.

I thought we could get down there

and make ourselves new dresses.

Is it smuggled silk?

Now listen here, missy,

your uncle's got another mouth to feed now,

so we can't go paying out for everything.

I'll starve then if it helps you.

It was smugglers who killed my father,

surely you know that,

so you can't go putting money in their pockets.

Fine, then I'll just wear this one

'til it falls of my back then, shall I?

Leave me naked to the four winds,

what do I care?

I brought this for you.

It isn't new,

but it hasn't got any holes in it.

Thank you, love.

I suppose you think me dowdy.

No, of course not.

You need to take care, Mary, love,

you've got to fit in round here.

I'd hate to see any harm come to you.

[reflective chiming music]

[horse whinnies]

[Joss] Come on.

[mysterious music]

Come on.

[mysterious music]

Abe, come on.

[mysterious music]

Your uncle's out,

there's water to wash.

[delicate strings music]

- [water splashes] - [delicate strings music]

You should be careful,

a man might help himself to what's on offer,

if it's so pretty.

[hand slaps]

Well, it's not on offer.

[he chortles]

If he's any kind of gentleman, he'd know that.

Well that told me.

He wouldn't help himself to the ale either,

the landlord here is a brutal man.

I know the landlord,

but take it, if it makes you feel better.

I only came to check you were all right.

Horse thief came to check that, did he?

Well that's all I am, is it?

Common horse thief?

A man who can't find an honest trade

is no man at all in my eyes.

What the hell do you want, Jem?

Is there trouble?

What, can't I come and see my own brother?

You like my new trinket, do you?

Mine.

Well, what do you want?

There's a new magistrate in Launceston,

been sent down-

He says he'll hunt down every man

who's working the free trade,

you don't think I know about it?

[Jem] Yeah, well you should do something about it.

You need to stay quiet a while

How do you expect me to do that

when someone's squealing?

What do you mean?

Customs have been turning over half my bloody stash.

Now, someone's talking.

You heard anything?

No.

All the more reason to lay low.

We can't,

we've got a haul coming up the coast tonight.

I need you to get me more horses.

And I said no.

No?

No, Joss.

[tankard clatters]

I'm your brother,

you wanna see me hang?

Mary, get away from there.

[Mary] Aunt Patience?

No.

You could have told me you were his brother.

I thought you might have guessed it,

from my manners.

How long are you planning on being here, Mary?

Seems a waste,

a maid like you,

you need to find a husband.

Everyone seems very keen to tell me what I need.

What I mean to say is you shouldn't stay here,

there's things going on here you shouldn't get caught up in.

What, like smuggling?

I worked that one out, I'm not stupid.

Well you are if you say it so damn loudly.

It's wrong.

I know the lies folk tell themselves,

make out it's no crime,

but it doesn't make it right.

If I had somewhere else to go, I would,

and I would take my aunt with me.

Mary, whatever it is you think you know,

you mustn't speak of it,

not if you want to stay safe.

Says the horse thief.

You might be right there,

probably be the death of me one day.

Here, take that nag,

I brought her for you.

[Mary] I don't want it.

Well take her anyway.

There may come a time you'd rather not be here,

and if there is, you'll need her.

[horse whinnies]

Mary?

[melancholy music]

Mary!

[melancholy music]

- [haunting music] - [patrons laugh and chatter]

Have you settled in, Miss Yellan?

Harry, I'm Harry.

It's a treat to have another pretty face about,

don't get many all the way out here.

She tried to run off up the hill earlier,

she didn't get nowhere though, did you, girl.

Bog's out there's dangerous.

Joss' brother Matthew got hisself caught up in one.

Bog was too deep to get across to pull him out.

Watched him die.

That's why I don't want you to go out there.

Joss, Cakey's in the shitter.

[Joss] Patience, get some rags to take him.

Wipe his arse for him!

[patrons laugh]

[Joss] Stout, Twins, time to go.

Thomas, you as well.

[mysterious music]

Ambrose

Watch this one, he rears.

You're in the crew now, are you?

Hey, hey.

[door bangs]

Here.

I don't care about the money,

I just want you.

We've, we've,

we've business with the landlord.

Well he's inside.

Will, please, let's go.

Please.

I'm, erm...

You're Joss Merlyn?

I sail a trading route for East India Company.

We're bringing in some best French brandy.

What's that to do with me?

Well, well, I,

I mean,

I hoped that-

What did you hope for, boy? Hm?

You'd come here and play a man's game?

- I can- - Tell it!

I can tell you what time we'll be along the coast.

I'll put the barrels over the side,

we'll split it 50/50.

Can't say no to that, eh, Joss.

Ain't up to you, old man.

Get out.

Cakey's knocked his ale over,

needs it cleaning up.

? There once was a barmaid ?

? At the Prince George Hotel ?

? Mistress was a lady ?

? Master was a swell ?

? They knew she was a simple girl ?

? Just lately from the farm ?

? So they watched her carefully ?

? To keep her from all harm ?

? Then there came a miner ?

? An ordinary man ?

? Bulging at the trousers with a cock like Sunday ham ?

? Down a shaft without a maid for seven years ?

Don't want an idiot, eh?

How about a real man to break you in?

Get off me! Get off!

Get off me!

[knife whistles]

[Joss pants]

You all right?

Joss? Joss?

We've gone to hell,

Stout and the Twins have been busted.

Legassik caught them,

we never got to the beach,

the haul's still there.

Now say sorry to the girl.

[knife whistles]

I beg your pardon.

Everybody out!

Harry, get the horses!

There's revenue all up the coast,

he's had a tip-off, sure as hell.

[Joss] Patience, bring the hooks.

We've got to get the haul off the beach.

[Mary] I'm not coming.

Come, you'll come,

or you're staying with Eli.

[tense music]

Help me!

Don't you give me judgement

for something you don't understand.

[tense music]

[dark music]

[distant horse whinnies]

Get off, now!

Go to the wall!

Go to the wall!

Don't you go!

[sinister music]

[hooves clatter]

[Legassik] It's Merlyn's men we saw,

they can't have got far,

stay sharp!

[tense music]

- [waves crash] - [melancholy music]

[Ambrose] Zephania didn't show.

[Harry] Told him not to.

[Joss] I thought it was him who was snitching.

[Harry] What about Abe?

Abe didn't turn up either,

no word, nothing.

When we're done here,

I want you to drag Abe out of bed

and bring him to the inn.

[reflective music]

Come on!

[melancholy music]

Come on!

- [melancholy music] - [waves crash]

Mary!

[melancholy music]

Here.

It's silk.

My aunt may have it.

[melancholy music]

Come on!

Abe.

Abe, Abe, Abe, Abe, Abe.

Where you been, Abe?

I ain't been nowhere, Joss.

That's why we had to ride all round the countryside

looking for you?

I was sick, that's all,

I was sick.

Go home, you.

[bleak music]

[haunting music]

I'd never betray you, Joss, never.

Never, Joss, I'd never betray you.

It wasn't me, I said, I told you,

I'd swear to thee on my mother's grave,

I ain't no snitch, Joss.

Then how'd the revenue know we were coming, hm? Hm?

I had to cut Zephania out

because I thought it was him who was snitching.

I don't have many other choices, Abe!

I've got the Twins, they're boys,

they'll talk or they'll hang.

[Abe] It wasn't me, I never,

I never gave nothing.

[Joss] Then who was it?

[Abe] I don't know, I don't know.

[Joss] Why would you lie to me?

[Abe] I didn't lie, Joss,

I swear I'm not lying.

Why would you lie to me?

Lie to me?

[sinister music]

I half believe him.

It's up to you.

[Stranger] Do it.

I have known this man all my life,

he has a wife and child.

[melancholy music]

[Abe] No, Joss!

[Abe shouts and screams]

[Abe splutters and groans]

[sinister music]

[body bangs]

[melancholy music]

[knife whistles]

[melancholy music]

[Patience] Shh.

[melancholy music]

[Joss] what do you want me to do with him?

[sinister music]

[door creaks and bangs]

[melancholy music]

[curtains whistle]

[Mary] Aunt Patience? Please.

[Joss] Your aunt's cooked breakfast,

sit and eat.

I saved a spot cream for your bread too.

Joss, some more?

Good.

[Mary] Aunt Patience, please,

I need to talk to you.

[Patience] That's it.

[Mary] They brought a man in here last night.

Mary.

I know he was in here,

and I saw the rope.

I think that my uncle killed...

You need me, Joss?

No.

I was hiding in the storeroom.

A man came and he hid in there,

and I think they hung a man called Abe.

You must have had a dream and got confused.

But you were there and you heard them,

and I didn't dream your face.

This?

I did it to myself,

tripped up on the cobbles outside

and fell down in the water trough,

you saw me do it.

Mary?

Mary, where are you going? Mary?

[Mary] We have to tell someone.

Tell 'em what?

There's nothing to tell except what you dreamt.

Don't you come here making trouble for me, girl.

I'm trying to save you.

Can't you understand that?

I don't understand what kind of hold he has on you.

I know you're afraid of him.

Of course I am, and so should you be.

At least I've got your uncle to protect me.

It's the other man,

the one that hid,

he tells your uncle what to do,

he's the one that hit me.

Who is he?

Can't, he'll kill me.

We have to put an end to this.

Well tell them you're not involved, Mary,

you're not going to the law.

We feed you, don't we?

I'll send your uncle after you.

I'll send your uncle to fetch you back, Mary!

[melancholy music]

Excuse me, is there a constable here?

Constable, eh?

There he is, Eli Brown.

[melancholy music]

I'm Francis Davey, the vicar of Altarnun.

I'm Mary Yellan, sir.

Do you wish to speak with me, Mary?

Mr. Davey?

You can't make stew inside a church.

My sister, Hannah,

Mary Yellan,

and Beth, who helps us at the vicarage.

Pleased to meet you.

Hannah, Mary wishes to speak with me,

so perhaps you and Beth might leave us alone.

Oh no, I'm just-

[Hannah] You're new to our parish, Mary?

I'm at Jamaica Inn.

God's house is open to any who would hear his word.

Mr. Davey?

Abe's gone, I don't know where he is,

he's not been home.

Jamaica Inn?

You're family, I suppose?

Hannah, Mrs. Trelawn has need of me,

Abe didn't come home last night.

Drunk inside some inn, was he?

I hope we'll see you at a service, Mary.

Hear him preach, he's very good,

you won't regret it.

Thank you for not saying anything.

I mean, it's not like it's so wrong,

bringing back a few kegs to sell.

We're getting married.

I have to go.

[wind whistles]

- [reflective music] - [wind whistles]

[she pants]

[sinister music]

Stop! Stop! Mary!

[she screams]

Don't struggle.

Would you get me out of here, please!

Had you taken that nag I gave you,

she'd have kept you out of there.

Would you just get me out.

Here.

[she groans]

[she screams]

Didn't my brother tell you not to walk the moors alone?

[Mary] I'm not sure I'd listen

to a word your brother said.

[Jem] Yeah, well he'd be right about that one,

bogs are dangerous.

[Mary] Like a lot of things around here, including you.

Me?

I thought I just saved your skin.

Ran me in more like.

Skulking round on the moors trying to scare me?

I know that you were there last night,

and I think that man was murdered.

What, murder would be wrong then, would it?

Of course it's wrong.

And what if the law tells you to do it?

If you're a soldier and you go to fight a war,

they tell you to kill plenty then.

So that's your excuse then, is it?

You've been to war so now you can do what you like?

No morals and no conscience?

Mary, there's things going on here you don't understand.

You need to be careful who you talk to.

So where are you going now then?

Launceston, is it, for the magistrate?

[Mary] It's none of your business.

Yeah, well you're heading the wrong way.

The new magistrate's in Launceston.

Yeah, but he rode past half an hour ago, heading west,

and I'd say he was riding for Jamaica Inn.

Go, you'll see.

When you see I've told you the truth,

do me a favour,

don't say you've seen me.

Please, Mary.

I'll come find you soon, Mary.

The magistrate's come!

Did you call him?

You, girl, what's your business here?

[Legassik] Says she's Merlyn's niece.

[wood clatters]

Please, God, no.

Damn it!

Who told him I was coming?

I don't know what you mean.

You, girl?

What do you know of the dealings of this inn?

Nothing, sir, I only came here a few days ago.

What about the landlord's brother, Jem?

Do you know where he is?

I've never met him.

You can tell Joss Merlyn

I won't rest until I see him hang.

He has my word on that.

[reflective music]

[barn door bangs]

Thank you, Mary,

you're my little lamb.

My Joss is a good man, see.

You're one of us now, Mary.

[reflective music]

I lied to the magistrate,

and I can't bear it on my conscience.

[Francis] Mary might be our ears and eyes,

she can help us to investigate her uncle.

[Hannah] She should take care for her own skin.

[Joss] Who's there?

- [hand slaps] - [she screams]

[Hannah] Who knows what Merlyn's capable of.

I know there's another man who gives my uncle orders,

is it you?

What do you think?

[Mary] You're a thief

who stands for everything I despise.

And yet you like me.

I do not like you.

[rain splashes]

[melancholy music]
