They produced it.

What was that city?

When my father died, I journeyed from my lowland village to Kramund, near Edinburgh, to find my uncle Ebenezer.

Unknown to me, a highland rebel of whom I'd heard tell, Alan Breck Stewart, hero of Colaudan, had landed from France some days before.

The welcome my uncle gave me was a strange one.

He's loaded.

Come here with a letter to Mr Ebenezer Balfa.

From him?

From my father.

Put it down in the door, step that off, yeah.

It's a letter of introduction.

Who are you then?

My name is David Balfa.

I'll let you in, man.

Come in quickly.

He accepted me in time, and I spent a cold, damp night in his kitchen.

Meanwhile, the fugitive Alan Breck Stewart had made his way secretly to the home of his uncle, James Stewart of the Glens.

Normally, he'd quite mind you would pay rent twice over, but that's what happened to your tenant, Stewart.

Don't tell me you know nothing of it.

I'll look into the matter, Mr. Kramund.

The legal rent belongs to King George, and I intend to collect it.

As the king's factor, I've no doubt you will carry out your duties properly and conscientiously.

James Stewart, I'd watch your speech if I were you.

Your twice been a rebel.

Once for the old King James, and once for the upstart Charlie at Coloban.

And twice you've been forgiven.

It's only through the Duke of Argyle beating on your behalf that you've been allowed to stay in this house.

Is that what it was?

Well, do you thank your Campbell Chieftain on my behalf next time you see him for his grace and favors?

You're a sly one, James of the Glens.

And a one day your head's still on your shoulders.

I'll give you one clear and final warning.

This house will be bumped to the ground and you'll hang.

If we catch one Jacobite agent anywhere in Appin.

I've had no word of any such man.

Is there anyone in particular that I should be watching out for?

You try my patience, or Stewart.

Alan Breck landed but a week ago from a friendship.

He's here in Appin, as you all know yourself.

You'll never leave it alive.

And you can pass this on dear Kenneth.

If any man pays a penny piece to your absentee lared,

he'll be turned out onto the moors with all his family and his roof pole put to the torch,

and his cattle sold for the crowd.

So think on that.

Good day to you.

Until you.

Colin Campbell.

Alan, the sooner you're back in France a bit.

Hi. I saw your visitor.

Yes, Walt. He's the English king's factor now.

And the duke about girls right on now.

I'd like to cut his throat.

If that happens, they'll turn this glen into a graveyard.

Would you stop to drink the prince's house with his father?

He's no time.

Still talks are coming back.

Oh, I, Mrs. Stewart, he'll be back.

But ahead of an army, then he's ill-advised.

The clans will never rise again.

What do you think the money's for?

Alan, we live here, you don't.

The old times will never be back.

Anyone who still thinks that is living in an ex-house dream.

That's Campbell talk.

It's common sense.

What are you trying to tell me? There'll be no more money.

No!

I not see my tachmin and tenon starve anymore.

I'll provide money for my own parts for as long as I can.

No, I know it's not a reason, army.

But to keep the prince on French, wine, brandy and women.

That's a damned English lie.

It's a damned English lie if the English tell it.

But both you and I know that it's the truth.

Good day to you, ma'am.

Alan.

The old...

Alan.

You and the bony prince are a fine peer.

More feathers in your head than the roaring your bonnet.

I'll meet again, James.

God speak to you.

Uncle Ebenezer!

Uncle Ebenezer!

Great step, Devi.

I'm not used to being locked in at night.

I'm not used to being locked in at night.

I'm not curious. You're going to be too careful.

I'm your nephew.

You surely can trust me.

I hope so, Devi.

I hope so.

Was it folk around here who broke all your windows?

Well, we had certain disagreements.

With a woman called Janet Clustin.

Not a woman.

What do you know?

I'm a...

She cussed you.

You, your house, and everyone in it.

I'd have sold up.

She paid none of peri-urand for five years or more.

With the shell of no?

With the pigs for all I care.

But to cuss you like that.

She's a pro-claimed witch.

I tell you.

Of course, let me wish you by God, Devi.

I'll have her roasting on red peat before I'm done with her.

If there are any fires to be lit, I'd like to dry off this bedding.

This room's damper than a well.

What's that?

This my house, a huge old man.

Why, he's yours, of course.

Well, say no more of it.

You want another.

Breakfast.

No, no, no.

Breakfast.

No, no, no.

You can wash your face out there if you want.

Ah, set two.

Devi, set two.

Porridge again, uncle.

Ah, porridge today, tomorrow and every day.

Good health, some food.

Would you like some air?

Yes. Thank you, uncle.

I can deny you nothing within reason.

And your mother?

What about her?

I'm sorry to tell you.

She's been dead for years.

She was a bonnie loss.

Oh, you came to the right place when you came to your uncle, Ebenezer.

I have a great notion of the family.

I mean, to do was right there.

You can study for law or the ministry or even join the army.

I prefer to study law.

My father wished that too.

These friends, you mentioned last night.

You were there.

The minister, Mr. Campbell, is one.

Campbell?

Hadn't come.

Then that first supported the English?

Your best not to get mixed up with any clown, feuds and dangerous battles.

You're better off with your family.

Yes, uncle.

And while you're here, I'll ask you to keep your tone between your teeth.

No debt, there's no messages, not a word to anybody else.

There's the door.

Very well, uncle.

If that's the way that I go, I only came because I was told.

Calm yourself, mind.

You can stay here for a day or two.

Ain't no magician defending your fortune at the bottom of the porridge pot.

But you're a sure.

I do, right, babe.

Enough said.

If you mean to help me, I'm grateful.

Oh, blood's thicker than water, Dave.

It's only you and me, bear the name of the poor.

So what's...

Maine's yours and...

What's yours, Maine?

Are you going out?

I have business to attend.

Business?

Well, I have interest abroad.

There's a certain ship, Dr. Nefirth, from the Carolinas.

I have martyrs to discuss for the captain.

Anyway, I can't leave you by yourself in the house.

I'll have to lock you out.

If you do, go to the house.

I'll lock you out.

If you do, it'll be the last you see of me.

There's no way to speak to your uncle.

It's not a way to treat an F you either.

First you lock me in, then you try to lock me out.

What is it you're frightened of?

Fourth?

Just fourth.

You'll be fine enough.

Three of you must for the Captain.

You'll have to fear him.

And if you do let me go help him,

you'll hum his Millennial.

I'll move you at a very short time.

This is a simple round.

If you're lucky, Dan will always eat you.

To my brother Ebenezer on his fifth birthday from Alexander.

You sir, may we speak to you?

Are we on the right road for the house of shores?

Is it wood no?

I do. Is it the road odd not?

What's your business?

To find a young man's called David Balfour.

There's none such here.

But he told me himself that he was...

Then he lied here, be on your way back.

What's your tongue man?

I am the lair to shores. I'll tell you this only me lives there.

Now I'll ask you to be gone from my property.

What are you doing here?

It's a fine library. It seems a pity not to use it.

Praying? Praying?

Put that back where you found it.

What have you to hide uncle? Put it back where you...

Get up.

Would you mind taking your hand from my jacket?

To my brother Ebenezer on his fifth birthday from my father?

What happened?

In a fine, well-formed hand.

He could scarcely have written that if he was not yet five himself.

Could he? So he must have been older than you.

And if he was, he was the rightful heir to this estate.

And not you. And now he's dead at close to me.

No wonder you've been so fearful since my arrival.

No! Show us in my...

Your father's staying to paper.

What paper? Short to me.

It's locked away. You cheated him of his inheritance.

For years we lived in poverty.

You put a fool, boy.

If that were true, we'd go father not acclaimed.

Show me that paper then.

Well, very well.

There's a chest and a stair tower at the end.

The house, er, it's founded in the top room.

You'll have to get there from the outside. That part of the house was never finished.

It'll be dark outside. I'll need a light.

I've told you that there are no lights in this house.

You're a deal, you're well.

Very well.

Something ready?

How?

Huh.

What, what about that?

I found his eye?

Yeah.

I'm fine.

Where's your water?

There it is!

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Hold on.

I can't stand that knife!

Oh, hey.

Classic monster Metal from Charlie.

On the same confiscated

muzzle ship,

on the small

Thanks for watching!

You're fine.

Um, small thanks to you.

Yeah.

The blue baud on the shelf over there.

Is this another of your tricks?

It was my heart, it hadn't my weight.

Let's get me the baud.

Oh, thank you, Danny.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Danny.

Thank you.

And now I want the truth, Uncle.

Why did you want to kill me on that stairway?

I swear.

I didn't know it had gone so far.

I haven't been up there for years.

That's the truth.

Or I'll smash this bottle in the stones.

It is true.

There is a paper, but not a main.

It is lost with Mr. Enquir.

The lawyer and Edinburgh.

No, lies.

No.

It's true.

You took me for a foolish old mama

that no more says than a bean boba,

but it was your father, Mr. Food.

He ran off with him in the college.

Say, your mother, I got all the lines and showin' exchange.

That makes no sense to me.

It will, in time.

Oh.

I take you to the lawyer tomorrow.

He'll show you proof, little bawling.

I'm coming.

Yes?

What's your mind?

Can you name your business?

Oh, business, is it?

Well, I've, I've certainly got to let you live from a old cap nose.

Easy to a Mr. Bellflower.

Bellflower?

I think you mean, my uncle, Mr. Bellflower.

Well, please yourself.

I'll tell you, my uncle, I'm a long walk from Old Shari.

We'll have some porridge in the kitchen. Go on.

Oh, me a porridge. Now you go on.

Think yourself lucky.

See, the pig's on there.

Uncle, the young sailor brought this for you.

Oh, that's from Captain Azizan.

Yes, well, I know I've done you wrong.

Tavy, I might just put that right, but I must say this Captain Azizan

unsigned some papers.

You mind if we stop off with Horsfairy and the way to the lawyers?

How long will that take?

Only a jot.

They're making jot off to their journey, huh?

Well, I'll wait while you dress.

Took no season. My master.

Oh, he's a rough one. The trouble is, you ain't no seaman.

Ah, that's Mr. Shuman, never gave us a brig.

Find a seaman in a trade, he is. It's temper.

Oh, an easy drink. Look at this. He did, huh? Mr. Shuman.

I thought it wasn't moving quick enough for him, was I?

You put up with treatment like that.

Well, not anymore. Let me try again. And I'll do for him, I will.

But why go on? Why not try life, I sure?

Nah. Couldn't stand stating in the one place for the rest of me life.

Besides, life had seen all that bad.

I mean, you got to take the rough over a little smooth, haven't you?

Sometimes. Mr. Shuman and me, we sit down over a bottle like our shipmates.

Don't you see the Lord on it?

And he'll start knocking me about again to serve me up.

I mean, it's low.

It wouldn't suit me. Since I was a child, I've had a mortal fear of drowning.

Then you want to stay on dry land, then, mate, you don't, yeah?

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

I know.

There she lies.

The covenant, that.

Not a bad state, is she? Can she just come back from America?

What was she doing there?

Queen, 20 pounders.

What?

Well, rebels has got caught.

The government gives the skip a ten pounder ad for taking him to Carolina or Virginia.

Then he gets another ten pound at the other end for some of the slave masters.

Don't stand there yapping, boy.

Uncle, where are we going?

I told you I have business with Captain this season. He'll be in sight.

Well, to see you again, Mr. Ebony, you thought. I'm glad you're here in time.

The winds fail, the tides on the turn will have the anchor up within the hour.

Well, I've an urgent matter to discuss before, then.

This is my nephew, David.

It is to me to Mr. David.

Thank you, sir.

This room's awful hot, Captain.

Well, I'm cold-blooded by nature, sir.

There's neither far nor flannel. Keep me warm and let's climb.

It's the same with most men who've been carbonated in the tropics.

We'll find a cooler room for our discussion.

No, sir. I prefer my comfort. We'll talk in here.

Then you'll have to excuse this for five minutes, David.

We'll use that outside into some fresh air.

I will, but don't have any thoughts of giving me the slip-on-call.

Now, how could an old dog let me run away from the thing you ran like you?

We'll have to be at the lawyers without Dilly.

The captain and I will be at the funeral.

Very well.

I was weary still, but I had no conception of the fate my uncle and the captain were planning for.
