00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,356
(Distant train)

2
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,358
(Whistle blows)

3
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,599
Hello!

4
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,358
Below there'.

5
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,313
Hello!

6
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,079
Below'.

7
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,313
Is, er...? Is there any path by which
I may come down and speak with you?

8
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,318
(Whistle blows)

9
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,232
Is there a path?

10
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,510
Thank you. I'll come down.

11
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,675
Ah'. Here we are.

12
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,630
This must be a very lonesome spot
to occupy, I should think.

13
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,956
I saw you from above.

14
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,878
I couldn't help watching.

15
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,230
Forgive the intrusion,
but I felt I had to know how you...

16
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,835
That light, it's part of your charge,
I should say, is it not?

17
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,031
Don't you know that it is?

18
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,756
You look at me
as if you had some dread of me.

19
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,600
I assure you there's nothing to fear.
Nothing at all to fear.

20
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,915
I am simply a man.

21
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,592
(Flapping)

22
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,471
I have spent much of my life
shut up within narrow limits.

23
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,915
I've been confined,
but now I am free.

24
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,470
Why do you stare at me
like that, man?

25
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,876
I was doubtful
whether I'd seen you before.

26
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,917
Seen me? Where?

27
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:30,953
Where?

28
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,833
There?

29
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,599
Why?

30
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,791
What should I do there?

31
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,231
My good fellow,
I was never there in my life.

32
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:44,640
You may swear it.

33
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,233
Yes, I...

34
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,999
I think I may.

35
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,035
Yes...

36
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,991
...I'm sure I may.

37
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,873
It's cold.

38
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,110
It's not the work, sir,
it's the responsibility.

39
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,959
I should have thought...

40
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,279
There's not enough work here to tax
the muscles or brain of a child.

41
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,871
No, it's the responsibility, the duty.

42
00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:26,277
You seem to have things
pretty much at your command.

43
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,438
I believe I do, sir,
but it never stops, do you see?

44
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,791
It's always there to be done.
It's never finished.

45
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,960
And these months of late, I...

46
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,400
Yes.

47
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,512
(Bell rings)

48
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,516
(Bell rings again)

49
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,392
(Clanging)

50
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,715
There you are, sir, that's my work.
Nothing of interest to anyone but myself.

51
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:20,672
I am interested.

52
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,760
So little to do
with so much depending on it.

53
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:31,470
I wonder what you do with your mind,
in between your duties, I mean.

54
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,236
You cannot spend your whole life
reflecting on your responsibilities.

55
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,272
Well, yes, sir, I use my mind,

56
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,960
though there's
precious little profit in it.

57
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,278
You see those books? I've been
trying to teach myself mathematics.

58
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,790
Fractions, decimals,
a little algebra.

59
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,914
- You're a scholar, then?
- Indeed I'm not, sir, no.

60
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,829
No, I've no head for figures.
I never had as a boy.

61
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,270
I make a poor figure
as a mathematics scholar.

62
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,392
Then why?

63
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,637
Well, it's the time, sir.

64
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,639
I've all the time in the world to fill

65
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,470
and nothing to do with
the knowledge when I have it.

66
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,798
Mathematics will do
as well as anything else.

67
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,230
It serves to pass...

68
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,312
(Hollow ring)

69
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,798
Is everything as it should be?

70
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,237
I believe so.

71
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,117
Tell me, do you spend all
your hours of duty down here...

72
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,110
...between these cold, dark walls?

73
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,355
I'm accustomed to it.

74
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,680
In the early days,
I'd sometimes find slack time

75
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,996
to climb up into the sunlight,

76
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,079
but the work was always here
to draw me down.

77
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,396
I'd listen for the bell, you see.

78
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:30,232
My face would be in the sun, but my
mind would be down here in the dark

79
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,000
and the shadows.

80
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,555
I think the mind makes
its own places, sir.

81
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:40,960
You speak -forgive me -
like a man of education.

82
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,198
Oh, I was at one time, sir.
A student of natural philosophy.

83
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,551
But what does that tell us?
Nothing.

84
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:49,878
No motion without cause,
a reason for everything.

85
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,720
I found myself dissatisfied with it.

86
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,958
- (Bell rings)
- Make yourself comfortable, sir.

87
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,191
(Engine roars)

88
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:40,160
You've been asleep.

89
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,958
Don't worry,
you have no responsibilities here.

90
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,677
- Forgive me.
- You have no call to be here.

91
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,079
And being here, there's no charge
on you to do this or that.

92
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,637
Sleep or wake,
nothing will suffer for it.

93
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,272
What brought you here?

94
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:08,876
I was drawn here.

95
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,152
Drawn? Yes, I...

96
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,317
(Hollow ring)

97
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,596
- That bell...
- Yes?

98
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:57,116
An accident on this stretch
of the line must be a terrible thing.

99
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,200
In the tunnel, say.

100
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,870
The tunnel collision
is the worst to be feared.

101
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,879
Your nightmares
would go hard to equal it.

102
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,677
The wreckage becomes hideously
compressed in the confined space.

103
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,558
If fire breaks out, the tunnel and its
ventilating shafts become furnace flues.

104
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:25,630
You cannot see in the dark to get
the wreckage and the bodies out.

105
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,275
The screams of the injured
and dying

106
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,517
echo in a most...

107
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,633
persistent way.

108
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,878
It's the shape of the tunnel,
you see, sir.

109
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,309
- But you can only do your duty.
- Oh, yes, sir.

110
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,318
And you have all this.

111
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,160
This place of peace.

112
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,116
And you have no desires
to go elsewhere?

113
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,391
I have not.

114
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,920
Then I almost believe
I have met with a contented man.

115
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,233
Well, I must leave you now.

116
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,750
It's a fair walk to the inn.

117
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,673
(Signalman) I believe I used
to be a contented man, sir.

118
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,874
- But I'm troubled, I'm troubled.
- With what? What is your trouble?

119
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,471
It's difficult to impart,
difficult to speak of,

120
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,672
but if you pay me another visit,
I'll try to tell you.

121
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,032
I intend to make you another visit.
When shall it be?

122
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,073
I go off duty
early in the morning, sir,

123
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,874
but I'm on again
at 10 o'clock tomorrow night.

124
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,879
- I shall come at 11.
- Thank you, sir.

125
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,118
I'll show you my white light
till you've found your way.

126
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,436
When you've found it,

127
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,678
don't...don't call out.

128
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,035
And when you come tomorrow night,
don't call out.

129
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,039
Very well.

130
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,152
Let me ask you one question, sir.

131
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,911
What bid you say,
"Hello, below there," this evening?

132
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,794
Heaven knows.
I said something to that effect.

133
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,913
Not to that effect. Those are
the very words, I know them well.

134
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,874
I said them, no doubt,
because I saw you below.

135
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,516
You have no feeling that they were
conveyed to you in any...

136
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,552
supernatural way?

137
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,873
No.

138
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,717
Then I'll wish you goodnight, sir,
and Godspeed.

139
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,870
(Distant whistle blows)

140
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,590
(Distant engine)

141
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,789
(Signalman) 'The tunnel collision
is the worst to be feared.'

142
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,912
(Engine roars)

143
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,074
'Don't call out.

144
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,118
'Don't call out.

145
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,072
'Don't call out.'

146
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,800
(Birdsong)

147
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,874
You see, I've not called out.

148
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,713
May I speak now?

149
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,480
By all means, sir.

150
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,876
Goodnight then,

151
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,798
and here's my hand.

152
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,391
Goodnight, sir, and here's mine.

153
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,153
I've made up my mind, sir,

154
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,751
you shall not have to ask me twice
what troubles me.

155
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,553
I took you for someone else
last night.

156
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,160
That troubles me.

157
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,112
That mistake?

158
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,436
That...someone else.

159
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,552
Who is it?

160
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,312
- I don't know.
- Like me?

161
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,831
I don't know.
I never saw his face.

162
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,795
The left arm is across the face
and the right arm is waved.

163
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,592
Violently waved.

164
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,392
This way.

165
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,880
As if to say...

166
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,676
for God's sake, clear the way.

167
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,315
One foggy night...

168
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,079
I was sitting here,

169
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,159
watching the patterns in the fire...

170
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,759
...and I heard a voice.

171
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,714
(Man) 'Hello. Below there'.'

172
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,878
Hello!

173
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,356
Below there'.

174
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,714
Hello'. Below there'.

175
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,678
What's wrong? What's happened?

176
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,678
Come out'. Come out'.

177
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:16,397
What? Where?

178
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,638
Come out'. Look out'.

179
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,513
Come out'.

180
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,075
Look out'.

181
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,152
(Bell rings)

182
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,637
(All three bells ring)

183
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,160
All well. All well.

184
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,554
"All well" you telegraphed?

185
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,478
I telegraphed both ways.

186
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,671
"All well."

187
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:53,032
I'm sure that this figure
must be a deception.

188
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,550
A deception of your sense of sight,
I mean.

189
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,912
A minor ailment
of one of the delicate nerves

190
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,316
that minister
to the functions of the eye.

191
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,671
I assure you,
I have known many such cases,

192
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,440
and the impairment
is not permanent.

193
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,836
Experiment has proved
these things to be so.

194
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,394
Experiment?

195
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,470
We must look to our rational faculties
for an explanation.

196
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,273
If we abandon reason,

197
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,792
how do we consider
this imaginary cry?

198
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:29,713
Do but listen for a moment
to the wind in this unnatural valley.

199
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,753
- (Howling wind)
- Even now as we speak.

200
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,792
The...

201
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,879
...wild harp it makes
of the telegraph wires.

202
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,311
I know that sound well enough, sir.

203
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,878
- Well, then.
- But still I have not finished.

204
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,479
Within six hours,

205
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,796
after the appearance...

206
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,470
...the memorable accident
on this line occurred.

207
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,111
(Whistle blows)

208
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,070
(He whistles a tune)

209
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,830
(Engine roars)

210
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,399
(Whistle blows)

211
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:13,918
(Crash)

212
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,713
(Distant wailing and coughing)

213
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,676
(Signalman) 'And within ten hours,

214
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,237
'the dead and wounded were
brought along through the tunnel

215
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:47,354
'over the spot
where the figure had stood.'

216
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,511
(Man) Stretchers in here'.

217
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,751
(Wheezing)

218
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,359
(Clanging)

219
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,236
A remarkable coincidence,
my friend.

220
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,196
But no more than that.

221
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,115
We are men of good sense.

222
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,870
We must seek to understand
the world by rational means.

223
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:13,158
But we can allow coincidence.
I think we can.

224
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,431
But still I have not finished.

225
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,554
That was just a year ago.

226
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,434
Six or seven months passed,

227
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,236
and I'd recovered
from the surprise and the shock,

228
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:27,919
when one morning,

229
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,678
just as the day was breaking,

230
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,190
I stood at the door

231
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,271
and looked towards the red light.

232
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,190
(Hollow ringing)

233
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,796
What is it?

234
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,479
What is it?

235
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,835
Where is the danger?

236
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,873
Tell me what to do'.

237
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,276
Answer'.

238
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,677
What is it? What can I do?

239
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,760
(Engine roars)

240
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,360
(Whistle blows)

241
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:48,955
(Screaming)

242
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,591
(Screeching brakes)

243
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,150
'It's true, sir.

244
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,796
'They brought her in and they laid
her down on this floor between us.'

245
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,994
It's true, sir, true.

246
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,279
Precisely as it happened,
so I tell you.

247
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,354
(Bell rings)

248
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,031
Now, sir, mark this...

249
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,958
...the spectre came back
a week ago.

250
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,074
And it's been there now and again
by fits and starts.

251
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,313
At the light?

252
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,954
At the danger light.

253
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,111
What does it seem to do?

254
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,835
You know what it does.
I've shown you.

255
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,474
Besides...

256
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,318
...it does this.

257
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,074
I have no rest, no peace for it.

258
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,038
It calls me for minutes together.

259
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,197
An agonised shout.

260
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,392
"Below there'.
"Look out! Look out!"

261
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,638
It stands there waving to me,
rings my little bell.

262
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,639
Twice, yesterday evening,
while I was here.

263
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,116
You knew.
What do you know of this?

264
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,550
Nothing, my friend, I assure you.

265
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,799
I simply observed you
and made rational deductions.

266
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,277
And I must tell you that
that bell did not ring.

267
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,471
My eyes were on the bell,
my ears were on the bell

268
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,432
and it never rang.

269
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,155
Except in the natural course
of things.

270
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,237
By the station communicating
with you, I mean.

271
00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:38,957
No, no, no, I never confuse
the spectre's ring with the man's.

272
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,800
The ghost's ring, sir, has
a strange vibration in the bell

273
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,675
that it derives from nothing else.

274
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,680
I've not asserted that
the bell stirs to the eye.

275
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,474
I don't wonder that you fail
to hear it, if you speak the truth,

276
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,398
but I heard it'.

277
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,797
And did the spectre seem
to be there when you looked out?

278
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,320
It was there'.

279
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,080
- Both times?
- Both times'.

280
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,678
Will you come to the door
with me now and look for it?

281
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,837
Do you see it?

282
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,600
No, I do not see it now.

283
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,155
It is not there.

284
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,351
Agreed.

285
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,834
You see now, sir,
what troubles me so dreadfully,

286
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,872
what does this spectre mean?

287
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,799
- I'm not sure that I understand you.
- Oh, I think you do, sir.

288
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,991
What is it warning me about?

289
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,352
What is the danger?
Where is the danger?

290
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,949
Some dreadful calamity
will happen to this line.

291
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,311
It's not to be doubted
this third time.

292
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,592
Sir, this is a dreadful haunting of me,
but what am I do to?

293
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,952
If I telegraph "danger", I can give
no reason. They'll think I'm mad.

294
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,799
Message: "Danger. Take care."

295
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,798
Answer: "What danger? Where?"

296
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,754
Message: "Don't know,
but for God's sake, take care."

297
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,951
They would displace me.
What else could they do?

298
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,118
Please, my friend, you must
compose yourself. I'm sure...

299
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,596
When it first stood there
under the danger light,

300
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,316
why did it not tell me
where the accident was to happen?

301
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,875
And why did it not tell me
how it could be averted?

302
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,231
If it must be averted.

303
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,398
Why did it not tell me
on the second occasion?

304
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,512
"She's going to die.
Keep her at home."

305
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,199
And now, what is it to be?

306
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,997
And why me, for heaven's sake,
a poor signalman on this station?

307
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,830
Why not go to somebody with credit
to be believed and power to act?

308
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,792
My dear friend,
you must listen to me.

309
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,515
You must compose yourself.

310
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,752
Let us say that
all these things are true.

311
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,918
- They are true'.
- So be it. Very well.

312
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,157
But try to take heed of this.

313
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,951
Any man who thoroughly
discharges his duty must do well.

314
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,238
There is no more that you can do.

315
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,276
I have studied you
these past two nights.

316
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,030
I am convinced that
no man could carry out his task

317
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,153
with more attention
and responsibility than you do.

318
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,840
I hope so, sir. I do believe so.

319
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,360
I'm sure that it is so.

320
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,997
You must take comfort in this,
that you understand your duty

321
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,239
and discharge it
to the smallest detail.

322
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,920
These...disturbing appearances...

323
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,398
You can't be called upon
to try to interpret them.

324
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,632
Believe me.

325
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,470
Take comfort
in the discharge of your duty.

326
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,831
You cannot be to blame.

327
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,355
(Bell rings)

328
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,352
I believe you are
on the right of it, sir.

329
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,199
I know I am.

330
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,356
I'll stick to my duty, then.
Nothing else to be done.

331
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,315
I'm heartily glad
to hear you say it.

332
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:32,117
I believe you've helped me tonight, sir,
and I thank you for it.

333
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,312
I'll willingly stay with you
till dawn if you wish.

334
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,797
Oh, no, sir.
No, I wouldn't hear of it.

335
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:44,359
No, I've got my work
to keep me company.

336
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,876
- Perhaps you'll come again, sir.
- Indeed I will.

337
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,199
- And I shan't call out.
- I would be grateful, sir.

338
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,833
(Bell ringing)

339
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,756
Oh...'.

340
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,515
(Creaking)

341
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,280
(He whistles cheerily)

342
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,072
(Bell rings)

343
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,473
(Train approaches)

344
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,111
(Soft humming)

345
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,393
(Whistle blows)

346
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,710
(Man) Hello'. Below there'.

347
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,712
(Door opens and closes)

348
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,400
(Tapping)

349
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,077
(Man) Hello'. Below there'.

350
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,556
Hello'. Below there'.

351
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,792
(Whistle blows)

352
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:37,480
Look out'.

353
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,232
Look out'.

354
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,520
(Brakes screech)

355
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,756
What happened?

356
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,437
Coming round the curve of the tunnel,
sir, I saw him at the end,

357
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,951
like as if I saw him down the end
of a perspective glass.

358
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:26,031
There was no time to shut off speed, sir.
I knew him to be very careful.

359
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,958
He...

360
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,118
He didn't seem
to heed the whistle, sir,

361
00:36:31,240 --> 00:36:34,312
so I shut it off
and I called to him.

362
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,671
What did you say to him?

363
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:41,317
I said, "Hello! Below there!
Look out!"

364
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,830
I was waving at him'.

365
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,960
"Look out!

366
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:51,075
"Look out!
For God's sake, clear the way!"
