00:00I found this poor child. Please take him in.

00:03All right, I'll take him in.

00:07The world is a strange place, plagued by the bad and saved by the good.

00:13Our story leads us to both. This is the story of Oliver Twist,

00:18who was brought to an orphanage in the town of Mudford on one rainy, stormy night.

00:25I found this poor child. Please take him in.

00:29All right, I'll take him in.

00:44Oliver Twist lived the first ten years of his life in the orphanage.

00:48These were ten years of having no family, no one who really cared, and almost no food.

00:59This is just too little.

01:02I was so hungry last night, I could hardly sleep.

01:06We have got to ask for more.

01:09Who will do that? The cook will beat us if we do.

01:13I have a plan. Whoever gets the half stick will ask for more.

01:17Okay.

01:18Okay.

01:29Please, sir. I want some more.

01:39What did you just say?

01:41Sir, I want some more.

01:44I'll teach you to get more.

01:46Let go of him.

01:48You will revolt against me? You'll pay for this, Twist. You'll pay.

01:53Not only was Oliver punished for asking for more soup,

01:57he was also thrown out of the workhouse and sent to a carpenter as an apprentice.

02:08Here, Oliver. This is where you will work.

02:11Noah, this boy is your responsibility.

02:14He is going to share your room. Teach him our art.

02:18Yes, sir.

02:21So, what have we got here? A sickly creature?

02:24Of what good are you going to be to me?

02:27Sharing my room? Come on. This is never going to happen. Got it?

02:32Then I shall tell Mr. Sourberry.

02:35Really?

02:36What in the world? Mr. Sourberry? Mr. Sourberry?

02:44I saw the new lad push Noah.

02:46I fell over the wood and the blade might have killed me, sir.

02:50But, sir...

02:51Enough, Oliver.

02:53If I ever hear of you behaving like this again,

02:56I shall personally take care of you. Do you understand?

03:04You better get used to this.

03:06The orphanage has given you here for seven long years.

03:23Oliver gathered his things and ran away into the night.

03:27He walked for weeks.

03:33Making his way to the city of London,

03:35far away from the orphanage,

03:38and far away from Mr. Sourberry and the terrible Noah.

03:44Sweet gooey croissants for just five pence a piece.

03:48Just five pence a piece.

03:49Five pence a piece. Just five pence a piece.

03:53Lad, get away from here!

04:06Go on, eat it. This one's on me.

04:11Never seen you around here before. New to London?

04:20Yes!

04:22I'm Jack.

04:23They call me the Artful Dodger around here.

04:26What are you called?

04:28My name is Oliver. Oliver Twist.

04:31Ran away?

04:35Don't worry, Oliver.

04:36I know of a man who will keep you with him at no cost.

04:40Come with me.

04:42Thanks.

04:44The Artful Dodger took him to a man called Fagin,

04:47who stayed in a secluded part of London.

04:50Artful Dodger and several other children also stayed with him.

04:58Open up. It's me.

05:01And who's that with you?

05:04That is Oliver Twist.

05:06He is all right. He is with me.

05:08Hey!

05:19Oliver Twist, you look hungry, lad.

05:22Charlie, get him some food.

05:32Let me put those away.

05:34We make wallets around here.

05:38Sit.

05:40There's your food.

05:41Perhaps for the first time in his life,

05:44Oliver had a hearty meal and soon fell asleep.

05:49Tomorrow we shall go out with you all.

05:52That soon?

05:54Well, the sooner he learns the better,

05:57otherwise I have no use for him around here.

06:01Make sure nothing goes wrong, all right?

06:04The next morning, Fagin sent Oliver out with the boys for business.

06:08Oliver had no idea what that business was.

06:12He simply assumed that it was to make wallets.

06:15Go, and remember, you have to work to stay here, yeah?

06:20Yes, sir.

06:22Good day, Mr. Brownlow.

06:24Good day, Mr. Collins.

06:26Now watch.

06:52Thief! Thief!

06:55Oliver was shocked to see that the real business of Fagin and his boys

06:59was not to make wallets, but rather to steal them.

07:03The artful Dodger and Charlie ran away.

07:05The crowd thought that Oliver was the thief and began chasing him.

07:10Soon, a policeman caught up with him and arrested Oliver.

07:15Come here, you.

07:16I shall take you to the magistrate

07:18and you shall get a good seven years in prison.

07:21Officer, seven years?

07:23That's rather harsh, isn't it?

07:26No, the magistrate will have to make an example out of him.

07:29Serves the thief right.

07:32Oliver was taken to the court and presented before the magistrate.

07:36Mr. Brownlow pleaded for mercy for the little boy,

07:39but the magistrate was strict and unmoving.

07:43He was just about to send Oliver to prison for seven years

07:47when Mr. Collins got there.

07:48Sir, I did not steal anything.

07:51Officer, you arrested him from the site?

07:55Yes, sir.

07:56The entire crowd was chasing him when I got to him.

08:00My lord, seven years is too harsh.

08:03Don't you interfere with the matters of the law, sir.

08:06I pronounce the boy to be sent.

08:10Wait, sir.

08:11What is it?

08:12How dare you interfere with the matters of the court?

08:16I beg your pardon, sir, but this boy is innocent.

08:19The real thief escaped.

08:21I saw it with my own eyes.

08:23Officer, did you not actually see him stealing?

08:28No, sir.

08:29Very well.

08:30I pronounce the boy to be released immediately.

08:42Follow me.

08:45Follow them.

08:52Open up.

08:52I have business for you.

08:55Yes?

09:05That boy, Oliver.

09:06I need you to turn him into a thief.

09:09Well, he already got caught for thievery.

09:12No, he got released and is now with Mr. Brownlow.

09:16That is such a relief, the poor boy.

09:22You have to get him back and turn him into a thief

09:25and tell me everything about him.

09:27Where he is from?

09:29Who were his parents?

09:31Was there a locket on his person when he was brought here?

09:34Tell me everything or I shall turn you to the police myself.

09:39We know nothing about Oliver except that he is not from London.

09:43He is from an orphanage in Mudford.

09:47After his ordeal, Oliver was very disturbed

09:50and it took him some days to recover.

09:53He was well taken care of in Mr. Brownlow's home.

09:58Mr. Brownlow, he will be fine.

10:01This boy intrigues me.

10:03When he is stronger, I need to know where he is from,

10:06who his parents are.

10:08Why are you so interested in the boy's past?

10:12He is from an orphanage.

10:15She is a friend of mine.

10:20My, Oliver's face is so much like hers.

10:24She might have been his mother.

10:27Precisely, doctor.

10:28She was a family friend.

10:30Haven't heard from her for over 10 years.

10:34Oliver was growing stronger

10:36and Fagin had asked the artful Dodger

10:38to keep watch at Mr. Brownlow's residence

10:41so that they might kidnap Oliver

10:43as soon as he came out of the house.

10:46And one day Mr. Brownlow gave him money

10:49and asked Oliver to return some books to the bookshop.

11:04He is our son, just very angry right now.

11:18We shall take him home.

11:20Come on, son.

11:23We will get you to the new shoes you wanted.

11:26Now just come home and have your dinner.

11:29Fagin took Oliver to his house

11:31and planned a robbery that night

11:33to turn Oliver into a thief

11:35just as he had promised monks he would.

11:38Let him go.

11:39No, Nancy.

11:40He will be a part of the robbery.

11:43That night Fagin took Oliver

11:45to break into a big wealthy house.

11:49Get in from the window

11:50and open the door from inside.

11:52If you don't,

11:53you have no idea how badly I shall punish you.

11:57Now go.

12:03Who's there?

12:04Who's in the house?

12:06Run!

12:12This house belonged to Miss Rose Mayfield

12:15and she was filled with compassion

12:17when she saw Oliver's pitiful face.

12:20She took care of Oliver.

12:23One day a strange visitor came to see her.

12:27It is about Oliver.

12:28Meet me at the London Bridge tonight at twelve, please.

12:32Oliver, do you know anything about this?

12:36No, Miss.

12:36It sounds like the woman was Nancy from Fagin's gang,

12:39but I know someone who can help.

12:42Who?

12:43Er, Mr. Brownlow.

12:45He was very kind to me when I was with him.

12:48Oh, Mr. Brownlow is a family friend.

12:52I shall speak to him at once.

12:55So Miss Rose spoke to Mr. Brownlow

12:57and he agreed to go to London

13:00Nancy was waiting for them.

13:02Mr. Brownlow!

13:04Miss Nancy, is it?

13:05Yes.

13:07You had something to tell us about Oliver Twist?

13:10Yes!

13:10There is a man called Mr. Monks

13:13who is determined to turn Oliver into a thief

13:15and he also wanted to know about Oliver's parents

13:18and had gone to the orphanage in Mudford

13:21to find out about him.

13:22He was looking for some kind of a locket.

13:25Well, I'll go and get it.

13:28Why, I have no idea.

13:31Very well, Miss Nancy.

13:33I shall have this checked out.

13:35So Mr. Brownlow called the Beatle from the orphanage

13:39and also had Mr. Monks come to his office.

13:42So, was there a locket on Oliver's person

13:45when he was given to you as a baby?

13:48Yes, sir.

13:49Here it is.

13:51Agnes!

13:52So, I was right.

13:54Oliver is my friend Agnes's son.

13:57May I leave, sir?

13:59You kept a locket belonging to the boy with you.

14:02You stole it from him.

14:04You did not give enough food to the children in the orphanage

14:07and you threw Oliver out

14:09only because he asked for more soup?

14:11How dare you!

14:13I am so sorry, sir.

14:15Men like you who steal from children cannot be trusted.

14:19You are no longer the Beatle for Mudford

14:21and I shall have you sent to jail.

14:24Sir!

14:25Take him away!

14:27Sir!

14:34Why did you want Oliver to become a thief?

14:37Because he is my younger brother

14:39and my father had said

14:41that if any of us brothers did anything against the law

14:44all our share of the wealth would be given to the other brother.

14:48So you wanted this little child to become a thief

14:51so that you could keep his money?

14:53Shame on you monks!

14:55By doing this you have broken the law.

14:58You too will go to jail

15:00and your wealth will be passed on to Oliver.

15:02Take him away!

15:06Miss Rose, Oliver is your sister Agnes's son.

15:10Oh, Oliver!

15:12Oliver, you are a wealthy boy

15:15and I want to give you a family too.

15:18I want to adopt you as my son

15:21if you don't mind.

15:22Oh, I would love that so much!

15:26Also, just one request, sir.

15:28What is it, Oliver?

15:30Please use the wealth I have to help the children at the orphanage

15:33and the boys in Fagin's gang.

15:36I am so proud of you, Oliver

15:38and don't you worry.

15:40I shall ensure that all of the boys go to school

15:43and learn to become good and generous just like you.
