How Redmond Barry became Barry Lyndon and how he acquired the Barry Lyndon name in the last episode. The story begins with Redmond Barry's father fighting a duel. Judge to duelist: Gentlemen, pull the trigger of the pistol. They fired the gun and took aim. Narrator: "Barry's father, like many children from non-Jewish families, was originally brought up to work in the judiciary. If he hadn't died in a duel..." The duelists opened fire, killing Barry's father. The commentary continues: "...no doubt he will excel in his field. This duel was caused by a dispute over the purchase of a horse." Outside Barry's house. Mrs. Barry was with one of her suitors. The commentary continued: "Barry's mother has been impeccable since her husband's death. Many men who had been infatuated with her proposed to the widow again, but she was rejected one by one. She claimed that she was only for her son and to miss her. Live in the world with the noble husband." Barry and his cousin Nora Brady were sitting at Brady Manor, playing cards. He looked at her admiringly. The commentary continued: "First love! What a change it has brought to the boy. What a lofty secret he holds in his heart! The tender love cannot be restrained in the boy's heart. His love is like the singing of a bird, like a rose. The natural opening." Nora looked at Barry, then put the cards in her hand on the table. Nora to Barry: Killerney, so what's next? Barry watched her; she pointed to the wall and continued: You turn around and face the wall. Barry turned to face the wall. Nora removed the ribbon from her neck and tucked it into her topless inside the chest. Narrator: "The object of Barry's attention and the source of his early troubles was his cousin, Nora Brady." Nora stood up and stepped close to Barry. Nora to Barry: I hid the ribbon around my neck and hid it on me. If you can find it, I can bring you the silk. You can find anything on me. If you can't find it, it can't be given to you. Barry slowly turned his gaze to her hands, pulling them apart. Barry: I can't find it. Nora: You didn't look for it. Barry held back nervously, then looked up at her. Barry: I can't find it. Nora: Let me give you a hint. She took his hand and put it on her chest. He groped timidly; he trembled. Barry: I... felt this ribbon. Nora: Why are you shaking? Barry: Because...because I'm glad I found the ribbon. He took the ribbon from her bodice. Nora: Lie. She bent over to kiss him; his arm was around her neck. The camera turns to the scene of a military review. Captains John Quinn and Captain Jack Rugrogan lead the British soldiers. Barry, Nora and her family watched from the crowd. Commentary: "At this time, the United Kingdom was threatened by a French invasion, and there was a lot of excitement. Nobles and prestigious people faithfully organized armies to resist the invasion. The scarlet military jackets and flying air of the soldiers made Barry envious Brady City sent a company to join the Kilwangen regiment headed by John Quinn. The whole country was full of the atmosphere of the war of resistance; a momentary pause. Nora and Quinn dance. She smiled at him teasingly. Barry watched jealously. The military exercise is over. Barry and Nora walked down the country lane. Nora: Redmond, what's the matter with you? Barry: Do you have to jump five times with Captain Quinn? Nora: I don't take Captain Quinn to heart at all. He dances well, babbles, and babbles a lot. Wearing a military uniform is also very handsome. He asked me to dance. How can I refuse him? Barry: But you rejected me. Nora: You and I can dance any day. Dancing with my cousin makes it feel like I can't find another partner. Plus, Captain Quinn is a man. You are nothing but a child and have no money. Barry: If I run into him again, you'll know who's better than who. I'm going to beat him, don't look at him as a captain. Nora: Ho, don't do stupid things! Barry: I take it seriously. Nora: But Captain Quinn is a solid soldier. It's perfectly fitting that you want to beat up those bastards. It's another matter to beat up an English man. Barry: You'd better let him take you home. Barry left her. Nora: Redmond! Annoyed, she turned and walked back. SCREEN SHIFT: Barry chops wood outside his home. Narrator: "Barry was determined to never see Nora again. But after a week of holding on to that determination, it was abandoned in a moment of desperation." accompanied by two brothers Mick and Ulic. Grogan and Missy were talking elsewhere. Quinn held Nora's hand. Quinn to Nora: No, Nora, no, I've never had love in my heart except for you and the other four. I can swear to God. Nora: Ah, you men...you men, John...you don't have the same feelings as ours. We are like some kind of plant described in the book. We only have one flower, and then we die. Quinn: You...you...you mean you...never fell in love with anyone? Nora: Never, my John. How can you ask such a question? Quinn: Ho, dear Norelia! He kissed her hands. Barry came into the garden and hurried past Mick and Ulic. Narrator: "Nora is accompanied by her brothers Mick and Ulic. Once her relationship with Quinn bears fruit, so will the brothers." Barry goes to Nora and Quinn. She greeted him warmly. Nora to Barry: Redmond, it's great to meet you. Barry took her hand and took her to one side. Nora: Redmond! Barry: How could you treat me like this? Nora: Redmond, what happened? Quinn listened intently. Nora continues: What are you talking about? Barry: I think it's time for me to give you something back. He took her ribbon out of his pocket and held it in his hand. She took the ribbon from him. Nora: Thank you, Redmond. I must have forgotten about this. Barry: Yes, you forgot. Quinn responded. Nora went back to him. Nora to Quinn: Captain Quinn, let me introduce my cousin Redmond Barry. Quinn to Nora: Miss Brady, it looks like you two have something personal to talk about. I'd better quit. Nora: Captain Quinn, my cousin and I have nothing personal to talk about. Quinn: Miss Brady, it looks like you have a lot to talk about. Nora: Captain Quinn, he's just like one of my parrots or a lap dog. Quinn: Really! Do you often give your parrot or pit bull your personal belongings? Nora: Can't I bring a piece of silk to my own cousin? Quinn: Of course, miss. He took a ribbon out of his pocket. Quinn continues: more as long as it takes. He threw the ribbon to the ground. Quinn continued: Ladies give gifts to other men, and retire. Quinn to Nora and Barry: Good day to you both. He took off his hat and bowed away. Mick chased after him. Mick to Quinn: John Quinn! Quinn stopped and turned around. Mick continues: What's going on? Quinn: I'll tell you, sir. I've had enough of Miss Brady and your Irish heritage. Mick: What's going on? We'll get you used to Irish traditions, or we'll adopt English traditions. Quinn: It's not a British tradition for a woman to find two men. So, if you pay me the debt, I will be very grateful, and will give up all demands of this lady. If she likes middle school students, let her do it, sir. He turned to go. Mick: Are you kidding me! Quinn stopped. Quinn: I've never taken it so seriously. Quinn sped away; Nora chased. Nora to Quinn: John... Hold on. Mick stepped towards Barry. Mick to Barry: Troublemaker! You ruined everyone's good things! Why do you have to live with the big nobles? Barry reacts, and Mick leaves angrily. Scene Change: The Bradys sit around the dinner table with Quinn and Grogan. Barry entered the room, walked to an empty chair next to Grogan, and stood watching Nora. Mr. Brady responded. Brady to Barry: Redmond, my boy, sit down. Barry sat down beside Grogan. Grogan put a bowl of soup in front of him. But Barry continued to watch Nora. Quinn smiled defiantly, whispered a few words to Nora, and then murmured to Brady. Buddy rose to his feet and tapped his glass lightly to attract the attention of the audience. Brady to the ladies: Excuse me, Mrs. Brady and ladies. Brady raised his glass. Brady continued: This is a rare celebration in my family; may you all be honored. A toast to Captain John Quinn and his wife, to their old age. The ladies shouted with joy. Everyone cheered except Barry. Quinn bowed slightly and sat down again. Brady to Quinn: Kiss her for eternal union, John. You have a good wife. Mick to Quinn: Come on, John. Quinn stood up. Mick continued: That's right! Quinn leaned over to kiss Nora. Brady toasts. Brady is all about: living a happy life and growing old. Except for Barry, all the men stood up. In unison: a happy life, grow old. Quinn to everyone: Thank you. The men sat down; Brady looked at Barry. Brady to Barry: Redmond! Barry rose slowly and raised his glass. Barry to Quinn: I've come to toast you, Captain John Quinn. He smashed the cup into Quinn's face and it shattered. Brady stood up. Brady to Barry: Redmond, how dare you be so presumptuous in my house! Nora and Quinn, who wiped their faces with napkins, stood up. Brady to Mrs. Brady: Mrs. Brady, take the kids away! Brady to Quinn: Honey, are you all right? Nora tries to comfort Quinn, but he ducks immediately. Nora, Mrs. Brady and the children leave the room. Brady to Ulick: For God's sake, why are you making such a fuss? Ulick to Brady: It's the case, sir, that little monkey has fallen in love with Nora. Today he found her in the garden with the captain. Now he wants to kill him. Quinn to Brady: Mr. Brady, I have been greatly insulted in this house. I am very dissatisfied with this state of affairs. I'm a decent Englishman! A man of industry! He glanced at Barry. Quinn continued: This rude little piggy should be whipped with a whip! Barry to Quinn: When Mr. Quine wants to, just a visit to Redmond Barry in Barryville will be satisfied. Quinn responded; Barry walked to the door. Grogan stood up. Grogan to Brady: I'll take the lad home. ' Quinn pressed her hand over the bruise on her brow and turned away. Grogan and Barry came down the road. Grogan: Well done today, Master Raymond. You know your uncle's situation is very poor, but you still want to cut off the 1,500 pounds a year that the goalkeeper brings to the family. Quinn has promised to relieve your uncle and pay off his £4,000 debt. He asked for a woman who was worthless—a woman who attracted every man in the area. It's all blown now! And you...should treat your uncle like a father. Barry: Right. Grogan: And that's your reward for him? Didn't he protect you after your father died? Didn't he give you and your mother a nice house for free? Barry shook his head. Barry: Listen, whatever the outcome. They both stopped. Barry continues: I'm going to duel the man who's trying to take Nora. Even if he enters the church I will follow him there and fight him to the death. With me without him, with him without me. Grogan shook his head, he said: I believe you mean it. I've never seen a boy more courageous than you in my life. Kiss me, child. They both hug. Grogan continued: Your character is like mine. As long as I'm alive, you don't have to worry about missing out and helpers. Barry: Can you tell him what I mean and make an appointment with him. Grogan: this A... If you have to do it, do it. On a field outside. Barry, Quinn, Grogan, Ulic and Mick gather for a duel. Ulic loaded the pistol and handed it to Quinn. Quinn nodded after checking. Then Ulic and Grogan went to Barry. Grogan handed him a gun. Grogan to Barry: I said Redmond, my lad, this is a stupid thing to do. You know, other girls are willing to marry Quinn. You will surely forget her too. You are just a child. And Quinn also likes to see you as a child. Grogan to Quinn: Right, Quinn? Quinn to Grogan: Oh... yes. Grogan to Barry: Well, that place in Dublin is nice. If you're interested in riding to that city for a month... He put out some money. Grogan continued: ...you can take these ten guineas with you. Grogan to Quinn: Are you satisfied then, Captain Quinn? Quinn to Grogan: Yes, if Mr. Barry is willing to apologise and go to Dublin, I agree that the whole thing is a decent end. Barry hesitated. Ulic to Barry: Say sorry, Redmond. Barry was still hesitating. Ulic goes on: It's not hard for you to say that. Quinn smiled slightly. Barry to Quinn: I have nothing to apologize for. Barry continued: I won't apologize to you. It's better to go to hell than to go to Dublin. Quinn reacted, holding back her emotions nervously. Ulic to Barry: There's nothing else to say. God bless you. Grogan handed the pistol to Barry. Barry looked at the gun. Barry to Grogan: This is not my pistol. Grogan to Barry: No problem with the pistol. it is mine. If you need another round, use your gun again. Good luck, Redmond. He patted Barry on the shoulder. Immediately take your place. Ulic to Barry and Quinn: Gentlemen, get ready to fire. Barry and Quinn pulled the trigger. Quinn looked at Barry timidly. Ulic continued: Gentlemen, aim your pistols. Quinn's lips twitched nervously. Ulic held up a handkerchief. Quinn's hands shook as he aimed the pistol. Ulic goes on: One, two, three. Ulic put down his handkerchief. Barry and Quinn fired. Quinn screamed and fell to the ground. Ulic, Grogan, and Mick gathered around. Barry to Grogan: Is he dead? Grogan touched Quinn's heart. Grogan to Barry: Almost there. Grogan, Mick, and Ulick took off their hats and crossed. Mick to Barry: Today is a tragic day for our family. You have deprived us of £1,500 a year of income. Grogan to Barry: You better get out of here before the police arrive. They heard about it before we left Kilwangen. Ulic to Barry: Come on, Redmond. I accompany you home. Ulic hurried away. Barry followed. Then came the screen: Ulic and Barry on horseback, approaching Barry's house. Narrator: "What a different fate would have awaited Barry if he hadn't fallen in love with Nora." The two dismounted outside the house; Mrs. Barry ran out and hugged Barry. The commentary continued: "If he hadn't poured wine on Captain Quinn's face either. But he was destined to be a wanderer. The duel with Quinn set him up for a wandering life at an early age. You'll soon understand that. Ulic, Barry, and Mrs. Barry were sitting around the tea table. Ulick to Mrs. Barry: Anyway, the lad has to hide for a while. Dublin is the perfect place. He can stay there until things calm down. Mrs. Barry to Ulick: But the child never left the house. Isn't it safe here? Ulick to Mrs. Barry: I wish he stayed here, Aunt Bell. But the bailiffs may have come after them. It takes five days to ride a horse to Dublin from here. No one would know him there. I don't want to nag about unlucky things. But if he gets arrested, you know what the consequences will be. Barry and Mrs. Barry looked at each other. Barry leaned over and took Mrs. Barry's hand. Barry to Mrs. Barry: Don't worry. He kissed her hand and smiled at her. Barry continues: I'll be fine in Dublin, Mum. Barry rode away from home with Ulick and Mrs. Barry watching, and appeared on the road to Dublin. Explanation: "With the freedom that I have never had before, and with twenty guineas in my pocket, no young man will be discouraged. Barry rode to Dublin, thinking in his heart, not so much the loving mother and family after parting, but also Rather, tomorrow and all the miracles that tomorrow can bring." Barry went to a tavern. The waitress was tending to Feeney and Seamus, who were sitting at a table outside. Barry to the waitress: I'm sorry, miss. Can I have some water? The waitress said "Okay, sir" and entered the pub. Feeney and Seamus kept an eye on Barry. Feeney to Barry: Hello, little sir. Barry to Feeney: Hello. A moment of silence. Feeney: Have a drink with us? Barry: No, thank you. Feeney: Would you like something to eat? Barry: You're too kind. But I have to hurry. The waitress brought a large glass of water, and Barry gave her a coin. Barry to the waitress: Thank you. Barry returned the cup to the waitress after drinking. Feeney to Barry: Goodbye. Barry Touch The brim of the hat paid homage and ran away. Change scene: Barry is walking through a wood. He stopped when he saw a fallen tree across the road and a man standing with his back to him. Barry to the man: Hey... I'm sorry, sir. The man turned around. It was Feeney. He pointed his guns at Barry. Feeney: Good morning again, little sir. Barry looked around for a way to escape. Seamus came on horseback from behind and pointed a gun at him. Feeney continued: Don't waste your time. Get off right now. Barry dismounts. Feeney continued; please put your hands over your head. Barry raised his hands; Seamus dismounted. Feeney continues: Come here. Barry walked to Feeney, followed by Seamus. Feeney continues: Stop. Barry stopped. Feeney continues: Hello. I'm Captain Feeney. Barry: Captain Feeney. Feeney: Yes, at your service. Barry: Is that really Captain Feeney? Feeney: Exactly. May I introduce you to my son... Seamus? Both Barry and Seamus said "hello". Feeney: Who am I fortunate to be talking to? Barry: My name is Redmond Barry. Feeney: Hello, Mr. Barry. Now we have to enter the more regrettable phase of our brief encounter. turn around. Please raise your hands above your head. Seamus searches Barry and eventually finds a money bag. He poured all the money in the bag into his hands. Seamus to Feeney: There must be twenty gold guineas here, Dad. Feeney to Barry: Looks like you're a very rich young man. Barry: Captain Feeney, all my mother's savings are here. Can I save this money? I've only just escaped the French Open. I killed a British officer in a duel. I'm going to Dublin to hide from the limelight. Feeney: Mr. Barry, I hear a lot of these kinds of stories in my business. Your story is arguably the most fascinating and eloquent I've heard in weeks. But I still can't agree to your request. But I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I will allow you to keep those boots. These kinds of items are usually what I want to keep to myself. Barry was about to speak. Feeney continued: The town is only five miles away. I suggest you go on foot now. Barry: Can't I keep the horse? Feeney: I'd love to do it; but people like us have to outpace our clients. Goodbye, young gentleman. Feeney gave way. Barry walked away. Feeney continued: Now you can put your hands down, Mr. Barry. Barry put his hands down and moved on. Barry squeezed into the crowd, listening to a recruiter speak outside the beer store. new Recruiters: Having done well in the latest dispute, the Gale Infantry Regiment, led by Charles Gale, needs eight men to replace some retired veterans. These veterans are old enough to receive a pension of a shilling a day. Anyone who is not dragged down, smart and promising, and aspiring to start a business in the military, please interview the officer in charge of recruiting new recruits. He pointed to a recruiter sitting at a table. Recruits continue: The chief says that those who behave well and are of good character will receive all encouragement. Those who meet the conditions will receive a guinea and a half of His Majesty's bounty, plus a full set of clothing, weapons and other equipment. He took an upright posture. Recruits Continue: Long Live King George and Old Britain. The crowd cheered. New footage appears: Barry and other soldiers in uniform are training at Camp Dunleay. Commentary: "For a young man who had killed a man in a duel and tried his best to escape the French Open, this opportunity to build his exploits in the European war seemed to be a good luck. At this time, King George I'm so desperate for someone, I don't want to ask him where he came from." Barry sat with Thomas and the soldiers. Tour sat on the other side. A young soldier spills rum into a large glass. Barry looked at his blackjack. Barry to the young soldier: Hey, lad. lad! Can I change the wine glass? This cup is too greasy. The soldiers laughed. Tour stood up. Tour shouted to the young soldier: A layer of greasy! Give this gentleman a towel and a plate of turtle soup. The soldiers laughed again. Barry put down his glass. Tour came to him, picked up the glass and drank, then dropped the glass and went back to its place. The soldiers laughed and cheered. Thomas to Barry: If you want to piss him off, just mention his wife—the washerwoman who bullied him. Barry to Tour: Mr. Tour, did your wife wash that towel? They say she often wipes your face with such a towel. The soldiers laughed: ask him why he didn't want to see her when she came. Barry to Tour: Why did you hide when Mrs. Tour came to see you? Are you afraid of eating ear photons? Tour raised a stool in front of Barry. Barry stood up. Brock came to intervene. Brock to Barry and Tour: Gentlemen, you can beat your fists if you want. Let's draw a square. Tour responded and dropped the stool. The soldiers drew a square around Barry, Brock, and Tour. Brock to Barry and Tour: Gentlemen...please come this way. Barry and Tour moved to the center of the square. Brock continued: Shake hands. Barry held out a hand. Brock To Tour: Shake hands. Tour barely shook hands with Barry. Brock to Barry and Tour: Get ready to strike. Barry and Tour put on a boxing stance. Brock continued: no bite, no kick, no grab. The last one standing is the winner. Gentlemen, now... the confrontation begins! After the fight began, Barry gave Tour a hard beating. The jubilant soldiers carried Barry away. A new screen appeared: the troops entered the camp in unison. The honor guard team welcomed him, and Barry was one of them. Commentary: "Barry continued to train at the camp. In less than a month, he had become a qualified young soldier. With the addition of other units, the corps grew stronger day by day. They were ready to join the troops fighting in Germany. In an additional unit Glad to see Captain Gross, his helper in that decisive duel." Grogan recognized Barry as he rode by and winked at him. The screen turns to show Grogan and Barry sitting in a tent together. Grogan: If only we knew about you. Haven't you considered writing a letter to your mother? Barry: Of course I did. But I lost her money, my father's knife and gun. I can't explain this shameful thing to her. Grogan: She wouldn't mind that. She cares about you. You must write her a good letter tonight. Tell her you are healthy and safe. Barry: Yes. Grogan poured himself a glass of wine. Barry continues: How is Miss Brady? Grogan: There are only six Miss Bradys now. Barry: Did something happen to Nora? Grogan: She was so sad about your passing that she had to find a husband for comfort. Now she is... Mrs. John Quinn. Barry: Mrs. John Quinn? Is there another John Quinn? Grogan: No. The same one, lad. He recovered after being injured. Grogan continued: The shot you shot didn't kill him, the bullet was made of rope. Barry: Rope? Grogan: The Bradys aren't going to let you kill their fifteen-thousand-a-year income all at once. In order to get rid of you, the duel was planned in advance. Couldn't get that timid Quinn to marry. He is afraid of you. But no doubt you hit him, boy. It uses a high-grade round bullet twisted from a rope. He smiled. Grogan continued: He was so frightened that it took an hour to wake up. Are you short of money to spend? You can ask me for it. I got a few hundred from your uncle. As long as the money is there, you don't have to worry about running out of money. The picture shows a boat crossing the English Channel. Narrator: "It may take a great historian to tell the cause of the Seven Years' War in Europe. Barry's Corps On the way now. In short: England and Prussia are allies; they and..." Grogan led Barry's corps across the field to the waiting French. The commentary continued: "...France, Sweden, Russia and Austria fought. Barry's first experience on the field was a small bout: against the Frenchman in full-back role. The French occupied an orchard on the side of the road, and the main British force intended to pass that road. Although this bout is not recorded in any history books, it was an unforgettable experience for the participants. The French opened fire. The British were dead and wounded. Grogan was badly wounded. Barry dragged him into a ditch under the cover of a tree. Grogan: I can only give you a hundred guineas left; the rest I lost at the poker table. Kiss me, my boy. Let's say goodbye. Barry kisses Grogan; rests his head on his shoulder; weeps to himself as he dies. NIGHT , in the barracks. Barry stood, staring at a bonfire. Commentary: "It's good to imagine the glory of war in the comfort of an easy chair; but seeing it in person is another matter. Since the death of his friend, Barry's mind has shifted from the glory of war to the separation of the army. He has been in the army for six years. The soldiers plundered in the countryside, and Barry was among them. The commentary continued: "Gentlemen like to talk about chivalry, but don't forget the villagers, pig thieves, and pickpockets under their leadership." It is with these sad tools that great warriors and monarchs have done murder and murder in the world. Barry passed soldiers resting in the field with two barrels. The commentary continued: "Barry's situation has never been worse." But fate did not allow him to continue to be a British soldier for a long time. An accident took him out of the army in a unique way. Barry came to a river. Two officers, Freddy and Jonathan, were taking a shower. Their clothes were hanging on a tree; their horses were tied to the tree. Barry stopped to watch. Jonathan: Frey Dee, I hope you don't get mad at me. I have something to tell you that you don't want to hear. Freddy: What? Jonathan: First, promise me you won't get excited. Freddy: Jonathan, don't be stupid! You It's unbearable to make people ticklish. What the hell is going on? Jonathan: I have to go again. About two weeks. Barry shows up and he looks at the horse, then listens more intently. Freddy: Huh , God, are you serious? Jonathan: Yes, it's impossible. Freddy: Where are you going this time? Jonathan: Go to Bremen with an important dispatch for Duke Henry. Freddy: But You answered that I will never leave again. Barry looked around to see if anyone was nearby. Jonathan: I know that. Personally, I kept my word, but Pontesby decided I was the only one who could do the job. Narrator: "Now he has finally found the escape he was looking for. It's only a few miles away from the Allied Prussian territory. Once he gets there, he can move freely with this officer's uniform and credentials, and he can stay in the He escaped before news of his desertion broke." Freddy to Jonathan: That way we won't have much time together. Barry took his uniform from the tree, untied a tethered horse, and walked away. Jonathan to Freddy: Are you mad at me? Freddy to Jonathan: Damn it, I don't always hate you for long. Ho, Jonathan, it's moments like this that I realize how much I love you. How empty life would be without you. Jonathan to Freddy: Frederick! New footage: Barry in officer uniform riding past Prussian soldiers resting by the roadside. Commentary: "Barry was delighted to see the uniforms of the Prussian infantry. It meant that he had left the British occupied territory. His intention was to go to Holland, which was almost the only neutral country in Europe at the time, and from there managed to transfer back home. When Barry rode all the way, he felt very comfortable. He was determined to be a decent man forever." Barry rode to a river and met Lishen, a German girl, with a donkey. He stopped and took off his hat. Barry: I'm sorry, miss. Lishen: What's the matter? Barry: Hello. Lishen: Hello. Barry: Do you speak English? Lishen: Not good. Barry: I haven't eaten in a day. Nothing to eat. Are there any restaurants nearby? Lishin: No... there won't be. You can only find food after getting Gronberg. Barry: Do you live near here? Lishin: Yes. Barry: Can you give me something to eat? I'd be happy to pay you. Lishin smiled: Yes. Lishin's farmhouse appears on the screen. Barry was eating at a table inside; she was feeding a small child. Barry: Is the baby a boy or a girl? Lishin: Boy. Barry: What's your name? Lishen: Peter. Barry: How old is it? Lishin: He is one year old. Barry: Where is Peter's dad? Lishen: Where is he? Barry: Yeah. Lishin: The war is over. Barry: How long has he been gone? Lishin: I'm sorry...I don't understand. say what? Barry asked again in German. Lishen continued: Oh! For a long time. Spring goes. Barry: It must be difficult to live alone. Lishin: Yes. She glanced at the child, then looked up at Barry. Lishin continued: You must be fighting a dangerous war. Barry: I'm an officer and have to hire for duty. Lishin: Do you sometimes feel lonely? Barry: Yes. Lishin: What did you say your name was? Barry: Lieutenant Falconnon. Lishen: No, I mean, what was Falconnon's previous title? Barry: My Christian name? Lishin said, "Um... yes". Barry continues: Jonathan. She repeated "Jonathan" twice. Lishin: Would you like to stay with me? A few days, or sometimes. Barry: That's great. The two kiss. Then the screen appears: The two say goodbye outside the farmhouse. Barry: Goodbye, my beautiful Lishin. The two looked at each other. Lishin: Goodbye, Redmond. I love you. Barry: I love you. Lishin: You have to be careful. hug each other. Lishin continued: God bless you. They kiss each other. Narrator: "Any woman who loves a guy in a military uniform..." The two separated and Barry mounted. The commentary continued: "...you have to learn how to find a new couple quickly. Otherwise, their lives will be very bleak. Lishin's heart is like a neighboring town..." Barry rode away. The commentary continued: "...before Barry won it, it had been taken several times, taken several times." Barry rode through the countryside and saw a Prussian soldier leading a line of dirty, distressed recruits. Narrator: "During the five years of war, Frederick the Great so illustrious sacrificed so many strong men of his kingdom that he had to hire men. His terrific troops replenish cannon fodder." Barry was traveling a mountain road when he encountered Captain Pottsdorf with a patrol. Potsdorf stopped the patrol and rode up to Barry himself. Potsdorf to Barry: Good evening, sir. The two salute. Potsdorf continues: I am Captain Potsdorf. Who am I fortunate to be talking to? Barry: Good evening. I'm Lieutenant Falconnon of Gale's Infantry. Potsdorf: Nice to meet you. Barry smiled. Potsdorf continues: Can I help you? Barry: Thank you, Captain. I have a rush delivery and have to hurry. Potsdorf: Where is your destination? Barry: Bremen. Potsdorf: You are clearly lost, Lieutenant. (He points to the road) Bremen is in the opposite direction. Barry: Are you sure? Potsdorf: Certainly. Barry: You don't know! I left in a hurry and my attendant forgot to prepare a detailed map. Potsdorf: I see. But please don't be offended, Lieutenant, you brought your own Documents? Barry: Of course. Potsdorf: May I take a look? Barry nodded: Of course. Barry took the document from his travel bag and handed it to Potsdorf. Potsdorf: Thank you. (checks ID) Thank you, Lieutenant. Hope you don't mind (he returns the papers to Barry). Barry: It's alright. Potsdorf: Since we are on the same road, I wonder if I can provide you with room and board and a detailed map. Barry: You are so kind, Captain. I am very honored. Barry rode with Potsdorf. The two were trained soldiers and rode towards a castle. Commentary: "Barry was treated very well and was asked all sorts of questions about England. He answered as best he could, with a concocted skill, depicting the king and his ministers." Barry and Potsdorf dined in the officers' mess hall. The narration continues: "He boasted that the British ambassador to Berlin was his uncle. He even wrote a letter of introduction to Potsdorf. His master seemed pleased with the stories. But he continued to let him down with a series of clever questions and compliments. Barry is totally exposed." Potsdorf: I know very little about your country, all I know is that you, England, are the bravest country in the world. We are fortunate to have such an ally. (He raises his glass.) Lieutenant Falconnon, let's toast to the friendship of our two great nations. Barry raised his glass. Barry: For our two great nations. The two were drinking. Barry looked around the cafeteria, sighing and smiling. Potsdorf: You're lucky, you're going to Bremen tomorrow. There I knew a woman who was one of the loveliest women in Europe. Can you bring her a letter? Barry: Of course. Potsdorf: By the way, who are you taking the dispatch to? Barry hesitated. Barry: General Williamson. Potsdorf: General Williamson. Barry nodded "yes". Potsdorf continues: General Percival Williamson? Barry: Yes, that's him. Potsdorf stood up and called out: Guard! A security officer came to the table immediately. Potsdorf to the guard: Arrest this man. Barry: Grab it! Captain Pottsdorf... sir... Barry is about to stand. The guard shoved him into his seat. Barry continues: ...I'm a British officer. Potsdorf: You are a liar and a hypocrite. You are a deserter. I doubted you this morning. You lied and exposed yourself by pretending to deliver a dispatch to a general who had been dead for ten months. You said that the British ambassador in Berlin was your uncle and made up the name O'Grady absurdly. Well, would you rather enlist, get stipends, or be brought to justice? Barry: I volunteered for the military. barry in front of a deserter Walking in front of him, his upper body was stripped naked; two rows of Prussian soldiers on the left and right were whipping him. Narrator: "The Prussian army was in worse condition than the British army. This private was living a terrible life, punished endlessly. Every officer has the right to be sadistic. Flogging in the lane is a common punishment for misbehaving. More Serious offenders were executed or had their limbs amputated." Barry marched through the ranks of Prussian soldiers led by Potsdorf. The commentary continued: "At the end of the Seven Years' War, in this army known for its military discipline and bravery, the officers were local Prussians, while most of the soldiers came from the bottom, hired or abducted from European countries. Here comes. So Barry made the worst of friends, and soon became very proficient at wickedness." A group of Prussians fended off the French in a warehouse, with heavy casualties. A shell hit the warehouse, and Curry caught fire; meanwhile, Potsdorf was pinned under a broken beam. Potsdorf shouted: Help me, pull me out. Barry managed to lift the beam and get Potsdorf out of danger. He went downstairs and out the door with Potsdorf on his back. Then comes the barracks playground: Potsdorf, Colonel Blow and Colonel Herzog form a line facing Barry in an upright pose. It was surrounded by military bands and soldiers on three sides. Blow spoke to the troops in German. Commentary: "The Colonel declared in his speech that the King was satisfied with the performance of the regiment at the Battle of Odolf and with the heroic act of Corporal Barry in rescuing Captain Potsdorf. This heroic act was rewarded with two Frederick Gold coins. ." Herzog to Barry: Corporal Barry...eight steps forward...go! Barry marched to Colonel Blow. Blow to Barry: Corporal Barry. Barry held out his hand, and Colonel Blow put in two gold coins. Blow: You are a brave soldier. The origin is obviously extraordinary. But you are lazy, do not keep your duty, and have a very bad influence on others. As brave as you are, I'm sure you won't get much. Barry: I hope the Colonel is wrong. I made friends with some bad guys, but I just did what other soldiers did. I never had the opportunity to show a friend and protector that I could make a difference. The colonel might say I've fallen and send me to hell. But I swear to my death to serve my group. Herzog to Barry: Corporal Barry...stand in line. Barry turned and started. A street in Berlin appears on the screen. Commentary: "The war is over. Barry's regiment has taken on the task of defending the capital. He has been courting Captain Potsdorf for some time. The captain's trust in him is about to pay off." The Minister of Public Security appears on the screen. The office of Mr. von Potsdorf. Barry enters Office, standing at attention before the Minister and Captain Potsdorf. Potsdorf: Good morning, Redmond. Barry: Good morning, Captain. Potsdorf: I want you to meet my uncle, the Minister of Public Security. Barry to the Minister: Good morning, Mr. Minister. The minister nodded. Potsdorf to Barry: Redmond, I have told the minister about your experience. Now you are going to get rich. We will remove you from the army and send you to the Public Security Bureau. Find a more suitable position for you at the right time. Barry: Thank you, Captain. Potsdorf: Your loyalty to me and your performance in the regiment make me happy. Now is another opportunity for you to serve us. If you can make it, it will definitely benefit you. Barry: I'll do my best, Your Excellency. Potsdorf: There is a man in Berlin who works for the Empress of Austria. He called himself the "Bally Barry Knight". He was ostensibly a professional gambler. He was a prodigal son: fond of women, scrupulous about food, and elegant in manners. He doesn't speak French or German very well, but we have reason to think that this knight of Barry Barry is your Irishman; he's here for spying. Your English makes you an ideal candidate. You have the conditions to throw under his door and find out if he is really a spy. Are you interested in this task? Barry to the Minister: As long as I can work for you and Captain Potsdorf, I'm interested. Barry and Potsdorf traveled in a carriage. Potsdorf: You just pretend you don't understand English at all. If the knight talks about your accent, say you're Hungarian, you went to war, left the army for health reasons, and then worked for Kronberg's lord for two years; he's in Silesia now, but you would Get a certificate from him. The knight is in his room. A valet led Barry in. Barry to the Knight: Good morning, Your Excellency. The knight said hello; Barry went to his table. He is sitting there having breakfast. Knight: You are the young man recommended by Seebach. Barry: Yes, Your Excellency. There are certificates here. He handed the certificate to the knight. Knight opens the certificate to read. Knight: Your name is Laszlo Ziraghi? Barry: Yes, Your Excellency. Knight: Mr. Kronberg strongly recommends you. Barry: Sir is a very good man. Explanation: "He seemed very flippant. When Barry saw the dashing and elegant style of the knight, he felt that he couldn't disguise himself again. People who have never lived in exile don't know how they feel when they hear a cordial accent in a cage. I won't understand the sudden urge to invite." After reading the certificate, the knight raised his head: it seems that you are a suitable candidate. There were tears in Barry's eyes: Thank you, Your Excellency. Knight: Are you uncomfortable? Barry hesitated: Your Excellency...I want to tell you the truth. I am Irish. My name is Redmond Barry. I was forcibly drawn into the Prussian army. Now I have been ordered by Captain Potsdorf and his uncle, the Minister of Public Security, into your door. The purpose is to monitor your movements; provide them with intelligence. Barry covered his face with one hand and sobbed. The knight stood up and went over to wrap his arms around Barry in comfort. Commentary: "The knight found one of his compatriots at this moment, and he was very emotional. He is also a person who has left his homeland. A friendly voice, a certain look... will remind him of his homeland." Barry returned to the Minister of Public Security. 's office. He consulted his notes as he reported. Barry to the Minister: He is very religious and goes to church on time. After Wang Mi withdrew, he went home for breakfast. Then he traveled in a carriage. Narrator: "Barry reported to the Minister on time. Details were arranged with the Knights in advance. He was instructed to make his story as truthful as possible. The information he provided was very detailed and accurate, though not critical." Barry Reports complete. The picture appears, the knight is playing cards at home with Prince Tulbingen and Ritter von Brandenburg, with Barry on the side. The knight slammed the table with his glass, beckoning to Barry. Barry; wine or sweets, sir? Tearman: wine. Barry came to the table and poured wine. Commentary: "The two sides have agreed: Barry will play the role of a valet; he should not understand English, not even a single word of English, in front of strangers; in addition, he should pay attention to those trump cards when delivering wine. Because of his good eyesight, Combined with the talent, he can be a great help to his benefactor on this green table." Barry put down the bottle, picked up a napkin and wiped the table. The commentary continued: "For example, if he wipes the table with a napkin, it means the opponent's diamonds are strong, and if he adjusts the chair, it means old king. If he asks 'Would you like a sweet drink or wine, sir?'- That's alluding to hearts, and so on." The prince placed a card on the table, and the knight won the trick. The knight played, the prince dropped his last card, and the knight won the trick again. The commentary continued: "Prince Tulbingen, who had a close relationship with Frederick the Great, was as addicted to gambling as almost all court men in Europe." Ritter finished his score. Ritter to the Prince: You owe fifteen thousand five hundred Fredericks. The Prince looked at the score sheet, then stood up. Prince to Knight: Knight, although I can't say exactly what happened, I believe you have deceived me. The knight stood up. Knight: I deny the charges against me, and ask you to tell how you were deceived. Prince: I have no idea. But I believe I was deceived. Knight: Your lord now owes me fifteen thousand and five hundred rows of Treasure Gold, which I have so honorably won. Prince: Knight, if you want your money now, you must pay the price. If you're willing to be patient, maybe sometime I'll pay you a little. Knight: My lord, if I've been submissive to this point, it's time for me to get out of this respectable and lucrative business. Prince: I have already said everything I need to say. As you wish. Good night. The Prince and Ritter leave. The screen shows Barry reporting to the minister and Potsdorf in the minister's office. Minister to Barry: Has the Prince been deceived? Barry to the Minister: As far as I can see, Mr. Minister, he has not been deceived. I believe the Cavaliers deserve the money. Potsdorf to Barry: What's the Cavaliers' plan? Barry to Potsdorf: I don't know. The prince told him that if he wanted the money, he had to pay. Minister to Potsdorf: It is impossible for the Prince to come forward. Potsdorf nodded. Barry to the minister: The prince left him no other choice. The minister motioned for Potsdorf to pass. They whispered and Barry listened hard, and then... Minister to Barry: Can you come back here tomorrow without arousing their suspicion? There is a scene of Barry and Knight in the latter's bedroom. Barry's face was ugly. Knight: I know they won't let the Prince show up again. But if that's the case, do you know why he still pays what I owe? You must tell them that I intend to demand a duel. Don't be so disheartened, boy. They can't hurt me. The Austrian embassy will protect me. Big deal to be sent out of their dull country by them. (He puts a hand on Barry's shoulder.) You don't have to worry if they do. You will not be dropped. Don't worry about that. There is another scene of Barry in the minister's office. Minister to Barry: The king has decided to send the knight out of the country. Has he asked for a duel? Barry to the Minister: Not yet, but I believe he intends to do so. Maybe today. Minister to Barry: Then there must be action tomorrow. Potsdorf to the Minister: All arrangements are in place. Potsdorf turned to Barry. Neutsdorf: You said he drives out every day after breakfast. Barry: Yes, Your Excellency. Potsdorf: Is there any reason for him not to play as usual tomorrow? Barry: No, Your Excellency. Bauerdorf: That's good. Tomorrow morning when the knight came out and got into the carriage, two officers would look for him and escort him to the frontier. His luggage will then be delivered to him. Minister to Potsdorf: Excellent. Barry disguised himself as a knight and passed through the hall of the knight's residence. Commentary: "The next morning At ten o'clock the Bali Barry Knights are ready to travel as usual. Barry walked to a carriage waiting in the driveway and looked around. Two officers were waiting nearby. Barry to the driver: Where is my servant Laszlo? Officer A came to Barry. Officer A to Barry: I'm going to put the ladder down, sir. Officer A puts down the ladder; Officer B goes to the driver. Barry to Officer A: What's going on? Officer A to Barry: Please get in the car. Barry: I'm under arrest First Officer: Let's drive to the border. Barry: The border? But now I want to go to the Austrian ambassador's residence. First Officer: Your Excellency, I have orders to escort you to the border and cross it safely. Barry: But I don't intend to Go to the frontier. I have an important business to go to the Austrian ambassador's residence. First Officer: I am instructed to send your Excellency to the frontier by any means necessary. If you are willing to go, I will give you this purse on behalf of the Prince of Tulbingen... ... He shows the purse. First Officer continues: ... There are two thousand Fredericks in it. Barry glances at the two officers, then accepts the purse. Barry: This will be a rumor all over Europe. Barry enters the carriage. Officer A followed into the carriage. Then the carriage departed. The commentary said: "Just like that, without documents and passports, in the presence of two Prussian officers, Barry was sent across the border into Saxony and the world of freedom. And the knight himself had safely crossed the border the previous night. In a large villa in France, Knight and Barry run a gaming table. Among the gamblers are Lord Ludd and two girlfriends. Commentary: "Because of such an opportunity, Barry was free again and started a poker game." career. He was determined to live the life of a superior man forever from now on. "The knight shouted: Four won. Commentary: "Soon he and the knight were received by all the courts in Europe, and soon entered the highest social circle. Gambling is favored there; experts well-versed in it are welcome everywhere. Lord Ludd put some chips on the table. Ludd to the ladies: Seven. Why not bet a seven? All...all, yes. Knight shouts: Park bet. Knight flops. Knight continues: Seven loses Lord Ludd made a face; the knight took all the chips on the table. The knight went on: put the stake. Ludd to the knight: knight, can you give me five thousand louis on credit? knight to lud: of course, Lord Ludd. Barry hands Lord Ludd some chips. Barry to Ludd: Five thousand. Ludd to the ladies: Now, all on four. Yes, I know...all on four. Lord Ludd Bet all his chips on fours; under the table the knight let a four of clubs slip through his sleeve. Knight shouts: Park the stakes. The knight took a card from the box and turned it over: it was a four of clubs. The crowd screamed. The Cavaliers continued: Four lost. The Cavaliers got the chips. Lord Ludd had a fleeting smile on his face, then a look of anxiety. Ludd to the Cavaliers: It doesn't matter. Now I am tired. He took the hands of the two ladies. Ludd to the ladies: I want to eat. good or not? Lord Ludd rose to his feet. Barry put ink and paper in front of him. Barry to Ludd: Sorry...Lord Ludd. If you don't mind. Ludd to Barry: Not at all. Lord Ludd signed the paper. Commentary: "They used to gamble on credit with any nobleman. They never pressed for debt, and they never refused a promissory note. But whoever doesn't pay the promissory note when it comes due is out of luck. Barry is sure to find It's up to him." There is a scene of Barry and Lord Ludd preparing for a duel. The commentary continued: "It is rare that a debt is not paid." The adjudicator salutes Barry and Ludd. Both sides perform sword salute. Commentary: "Suffice it to say: The casino's reputation is sustained by Barry's swordsmanship and motivation to use it." Adjudicator to Barry and Ludd: Caution. Barry and Lord Ludd duel until Barry uses skill and strategy to point his sword at Lord Ludd's ribs. Lord Ludd interrupted the duel and dropped his sword. Ludd to Barry: I'll pay you today, sir. Barry stepped back, nodded, and turned away. Commentary: "It can be seen that although their lives are interesting, they are not without dangers. It takes talent and determination to succeed." A carriage left the big villa. The commentary continued: "They still have to live a wandering and irregular life. Although they are prosperous because of gambling, their hard work has not brought them anything except some high-end clothing and a few gadgets. What a result." Knight and Barry were sitting and drinking tea in the garden of a hotel in Spa, Belgium. The commentary continues: "Five years in the army and considerable experience have dispelled the romantic ideas of love that Barry had in his early life. Now, he thinks the same as many decent people before him: a woman with wealth and status. Married." Barry saw a group of people approaching, including Mrs. Lyndon, Sir Charles Lyndon, a sick man in a wheelchair, their son, Young Master Brynden, and the Reverend Samuel Lunt. The commentary continued: "And things often happen like this. At the same time that he had this idea, he saw a woman who would play a very important role in his life - Countess Lyndon, Viscount Bryndon, England Lady, Irish Card Baroness Shell Lyndon - a woman of great fortune and celestial beauty. Her husband was Sir Charles Lyndon, a Knight of Bath; served in several European courts as a diplomatic envoy to George III; and a disabled man with gout and other ailments, confined to a wheelchair people. Mrs. Rant, the lady's chaplain, was the private tutor to her son, the little Viscount Brynden, a melancholy little boy who was very attached to his mother. Mrs. Lyndon and Reverend Ronte sat at the gaming table held by Knight and Barry. She and Barry looked at each other, forgetting what was going on around them... Mrs. Lyndon to Ronte: I'm going out for a change of air. Mrs. Lyndon: Yes, ma'am. She's out. Barry is watching her. CHANGE: Still at the Spa's hotel. Mrs. Lyndon is waiting on the balcony. Barry enters the balcony and walks behind her. She slowly Slowly turned around. He took her hands and they kissed. Change scene: Barry and Mrs Lyndon were in the same punt. Narrator: "Long story short...the lady fell in love six hours after they met. . After meeting her, Barry found numerous opportunities to strengthen their relationship. Almost inseparable. The camera cuts to a casino. Sir Charles Lyndon and three men are playing cards there. Barry enters and walks up to them. Barry to the crowd: Good evening, gentlemen. The three men answer "Good evening." Sir Charles lifts his eyes; Barry bows. Barry to Sir Charles: Sir Charles. Charles to Barry: Good evening, Mr. Barry. Are you done with my wife? Barry: I'm sorry, I don't understand. Cha Charles: Listen, sir. I'd rather wear a green scarf than be a fool. Barry: I think, Sir Charles, you're drinking too much. Sir Charles laughs: What? Barry: Things It goes like this: Your priest, Mr. Ronte, introduced me to your lady in order to ask her to advise me on a religious question, as she is an expert. Sir Charles laughed. Men: He wants to... take my place. Charles continues: He wants to take my place. Wouldn't it be a great pleasure for me when I'm about to get there and find my family so happy What's wrong? My wife loves me so much that she's even considering choosing a successor. Wouldn't it be great to see her ready for my departure like a good helper? Charl Sir Charles slammed his fist on the table and looked up at Barry. Barry to Charles: I don't want you to think about leaving us, Sir Charles? Charles to Barry: Maybe not as fast as you think. Four I have been considered hopeless several times over the years. There was always one or two people waiting there, applying to fill the vacancy. I'm sorry for you, Mr. Barry. I'm sorry to have kept you and other gentlemen waiting for a long time. Wouldn't it be better for you to arrange with my doctor, or for the cook to put arsenic in my fried eggs? Charles to the crowd: How likely is it that I live to see Mr. Barry hanged, gentlemen? He pointed at Barry, wiggled his fingers, and laughed. Barry to Charles: Your Excellency...let's make the winner laugh. Barry turned around and saluted the crowd. Barry to the crowd: Gentlemen, Barry is leaving. Sir Charles was too annoyed by a sudden heart attack. A gentleman said to the crowd: I'm going to find a doctor. Another gentleman to Charles: Have some brandy, Sir Charles. Commentary: "In the chronology of St James's Palace there is such a record: Sir Charles Reginald Lyndon: Knight of Bath, MP. Died in Spar, Belgium.

But she was like a fine rug and painting, just an embellishment of his life." In the second carriage sat Brin. Lord Den and Reverend Runt. Lord Brynden looked dismayed. Langte to Brinden: Master Brinden, why do you seem so unhappy today? You should be happy that your mother is getting married again. Lord Brynden turned to look at Reverend Ronte. Brindon to Ronte: Not in this way, in such a hurry; certainly not in marrying this man. Langte: I think you're being too hard on your mother. Don't you like your stepfather? Brynden: I don't really like it. I think he's just a humble opportunist. I don't think he loves my mother at all. She was so obsessed with it that it was really sad to see her.

Now her various resentful moods have added jealousy, and even among her maids, she has her rival in love." Change shots: Mrs. Lyndon, Reverend Ronte and two other women are playing cards. Mrs Lyndon, yawning, turned to the Reverend Runt. Mrs. Lyndon to Ronte: Samuel, what time is it? He looked at his watch. Ronte to Mrs. Lyndon : 11:25, ma'am.

Shot change: Mrs. Lyndon is soaked in the tub, listening to the maid read a poem in French. Barry enters. Barry to the crowd: Good morning, ladies. The maids answered: Good morning, sir. Barry to the maids: I'm sorry, but I want to speak to my lady alone. The maids stood up, curtseyed to Mrs. Lyndon and left. Barry went to Mrs. Lyndon and stood looking at her. Barry to Mrs Lyndon: I'm sorry. Mrs. Lyndon held out her hand. Barry took her hand and knelt down. The two slowly moved towards each other and kissed. The camera then turns to the library. Barry was sitting in a chair; two barbers were watching his hair, two tailors were showing him a velvet top. Tailor to Barry: This coat is of the finest velvet, all finely sewn with silver thread.

Mrs. Lyndon to Lord Bryndon: Lord Brynden, can you do that to your father? Lord Bryndon did not answer. Mrs Brynden continued: Lord Brynden, don't you have a tongue? Brindon to Mrs Lyndon: My father is Sir Charles Lyndon. If others have forgotten him, I have not forgotten him. Mrs. Lyndon slapped him; he looked up at her. Brian began to cry. Mrs. Lyndon to Brynden: Lord Brynden, you insulted your father! Brindon to Mrs Lyndon: Madam, you insulted my father. Barry stood up and took Lord Brynden's hand. Barry to Mrs. Lyndon: Dearest, I'm sorry, we're going away for a few minutes, and we're going to talk about it individually. Barry to the gentlemen: Gentlemen. Barry and Brin Lord Den leaves. In the study at Hexton Castle, Lord Brynden is leaning over a table, and Barry is beating him with a cane. Barry counts: one, two. Barry continued to count: three, four, five, six. Barry stopped. Lord Brynden held back his tears and straightened. Barry to Brynden: Lord Brynden, I have always wanted to be friendly with you. However, there is one thing you have to figure out. What other people do to me, I do to others. I've never slapped a lord before, but if you force me to do it, I'll get used to it quickly. Is there anything else to justify? Lord Bryndon: No. Barry: You can go. Lord Bryndon slowly picked up his jacket and walked out of the room. Narrator: "Barry believed -- and not without basis -- that Brynden had declared war on him from the start, and that it was Brinden's fault that it had gotten to this point." Years passed. Lord Brynden, who has entered his youth, is now holding Mrs. Lyndon's hand and sitting beside her, watching the magician's performance with his family and his wife. They had gathered in the courtyard to celebrate Brian's eighth birthday. Magician to Brian: I'm going to make you a real magician, Brian. See how I conjure a knot for you.

The magician continued: Wonderful! Wonderful colorful scarves! Step up and thank you Brian, great job. very good. Brian salutes. The magician continued: Let me see if there is something behind your ear. He took a ball from behind Brian's ear. The magician continues: Really, there is something. a small ball. We're going to make it go away. Turns out, here it is, behind my elbow. Slap your hand on my green silk scarf and see if we can conjure a fancy flower. I don't know if we can make it? Oh, here it is. rainbow colors. He was shaking some ribbons over Brian's head. The magician continues: You know, the colors of the rainbow combined are just one color, Brian. He showed Brian a magic box. The Magician Continues: Here Nothing. He closed the box. The magician goes on: These colors make up one color—white. Look, that's mine... He opens the magic box, revealing a white rabbit inside. The magician continues: ...the beautiful white rabbit. Brian, you have done a great job. A small bow. Barry and Mrs. Barry were sitting on Brian's bed that night. Barry was telling him stories. Barry to Brian: We climbed that fort. I crossed the wall first, and my buddies followed. It's really shocking you didn't see the faces of these Frenchmen: 23 outlaws rushing into their fortress with knives and guns on a rampage. Within 3 minutes we were left with a bunch of artillery heads. Like a pile of cannonballs. Later, our noble Prince Henry came to visit us. "Who did this?" I stood up. "How many heads did you chop off?" he asked. "19." I said I'd hurt a few more. "Hey, he was so excited that he cried. "What a lad!" he said. "I give you these 19 gold coins: a head for a gold coin." "Would you like to be strong enough? Brian: Can you keep those heads? Barry: No. These have to be owned by the king. Brian: Can you tell another story? Barry: I'll give it to you tomorrow. Tell one. Brian: Will you play poker with me tomorrow? Barry: Of course. Go to bed now. Barry kisses Brian. Brian: Would you leave the candle on? Mrs. Barry to Brian: Brian, big boys don't need candles to sleep. Brian to Mrs. Barry: I'm afraid of the dark. Mrs. Barry: My dear, there's nothing to be afraid of. Brian: But I like candles. Barry to Brian TU: OK, you can go to bed with the candle light on. Brian: Thanks, Dad. Barry said "good night" and left. Then Mrs. Barry kissed him. Change scene: Barry and Mrs. Barry watch Mrs. Lyndon Boating on the river with Lord Brynden, Brian, and Reverend Ronte. Mrs. Barry to Barry: Ah, Redmond!
