Oliver Twist (2005)

Oliver Twist (2005) Full Recap

to the parish farm. 9 years old today. A beetle named Mr. Bumble takes a young orphan named Oliver Twist to a parish workhouse to meet the board members of the parish while standing in front of the board members. Oliver cries because he doesn't want to be at the workhouse and some of the men insult him.

Oliver is eventually taken away to join some other kids in picking out the oakum from old ropes. Oliver doesn't know how to do this, but the man in charge of the workhouse tells him to learn from the boy sitting next to him. That night, some of the kids struggle to sleep because they're hungry, and they lament about the situation and to be taught a useful trade. The next morning, they're given small food portions that can barely satisfy them.

After eating his food, Oliver still feels hungry and decides to ask one of the parish workers for more food. The man cannot believe this and he hits Oliver with a cane and chases him around the dining hall. He eventually tells one of the cooks to fetch Bumble. Shortly after, Bumble heads over to inform the board members that Oliver asked for more food.

Interestingly, the board members are having a feast and their leader seems pissed that Oliver dared to ask for more food. The next day, an advert is placed outside the workhouse, calling for people to pay £5 to get an apprentice. A chimney sweep, Mr. Gamfield sees the advert and goes into the workhouse to pay for the apprentice.

Gamfield tells the board members about his job, and even though it doesn't seem easy for a child, they don't complain about it. Gamfield and Oliver are then taken to the parish to finalize the deal. Before one of the senior members of the parish signs off on Oliver to become Gamfield's apprentice, he sees Oliver crying and asks what's wrong. Bumble tries to stop Oliver from talking, but the senior parish member scolds the beetle.

Oliver then says he doesn't want to go with Gamfield. And after the parish members talk about it, they accept his request. The next day, when a local undertaker named Mr. Sourberry visits the workhouse. Bumble asks if he needs an apprentice. Sauerberry seems interested in the offer and he tells Bumble to bring the boy to him.

How comes an orphan to have any name at all? That night, Bumble finalizes the deal and takes Oliver to Sour's house. Oliver doesn't look happy to be there, but Mr. Sourberry seems excited and calls his wife, Mrs. Sourberry, to come and look at their new apprentice. When Mrs. Sour sees Oliver, she complains that he looks small, but Bumble says he'll surely grow bigger.

Mrs. Sourberry doesn't seem happy about this because she'll have to feed Oliver well enough to make him grow. She also laments that workhouse boys always cost more to keep than they're worth. Sour Betty. After she takes Oliver to the kitchen, she tells her cook, Charlotte, to give him the leftover food that was meant for the dog.

Charlotte immediately gets it for Oliver and he eats the food because he's very hungry. After this, Mrs. Sauerberry prepares a place for Oliver to sleep in the workshop where her husband makes his coffins. The next morning, a young man named Noah arrives at the workshop and introduces himself as Mr.

Sour's senior apprentice. Shortly after, Charlotte serves both of them breakfast and tells Oliver not to sit at the table. Noah makes fun of Oliver by calling him workhouse, but Charlotte tells him to leave Oliver alone. Noah then jokes that everyone Oliver knows, including his parents, has left him alone, and it's good for him to have someone who won't do that to him.

Charlotte also finds this funny, but Oliver ignores them and eats his food. After a while, Mr. Sourberry sees Oliver working diligently. He admires this, but his wife believes Oliver works slowly. Mr. Sour Berry then tells his wife that Oliver is a good-looking boy who would make a delightful mute for children's funerals.

His wife doesn't object to this and Mr. Sauerberry allows Oliver to work as a mute. Noah seems jealous about this and he tells Charlotte that Oliver is a sneaky boy who will be hanged in the future. The next day, while Oliver is having breakfast, Noah insults his mom and this gets him pissed.

As he attacks Noah, Mrs. Sourberry and Charlotte eventually show up to hold him back and lock him up. Mrs. Sourberry then tells Noah to go and call Bumble so that Oliver can be flogged when Bumble arrives. He says he expects Oliver to be trembling at the sound of his voice. However, Oliver says he's not trembling and this leaves Bumble shock.

He then tells Mrs. Sauerberry that Oliver is now violent because he has been overfed. Mrs. Sourberry says she regrets feeding him well. And as Mr. Sourberry returns home, he asks what's happening. After he learns that Oliver attacked Noah, he looks shocked and says that Oliver is a well-behaved boy.

Oliver then defends himself and says that Noah insulted his mom. Mrs. Sauerberry doesn't think there's something wrong with that, and she says that Oliver's dead mom deserves everything Noah said. Oliver immediately talks back angrily and Mrs. Sauerberry pretends to be hurt by his comments.

Mr. Sourberry looks confused, but his wife tells him to do something to punish Oliver. Following this, Mr. Sauerberry reluctantly flogs Oliver, and Noah looks pleased. The next day, Oliver sneaks out of the house with some food and begins his journey to London to find a better place to live.

And she trembling while I speak, sir. After a few days walking toward his destination, he runs out of food and stops at a nearby house to ask if the owners can help him. Unfortunately, the man of the house looks pissed and says he doesn't want beggars near his property. Oliver looks disappointed and continues his journey, but he eventually passes out on the way.

Luckily, an old woman living in a nearby house sees him and carries him inside. She also prepares some food for him and asks where he's going all by himself. Oliver says he's going to London and the woman looks shocked because it's still a few miles away. After Oliver rests for a while, he continues his journey and eventually reaches London.

There he sees a boy named Dodger who sees him sleeping outside a nearby house. Dodger asks what he's up to, and Oliver says he has been walking for 7 days. Dodger looks shocked but offers to let Oliver come with him so they can get something to eat. As they walk together, Dodger steals a few things from the market and shows them to Oliver, who looks shocked.

Dodger then says he earned his name because he's a skilled thief. London, man. After giving Oliver some food to eat, Dodger asks if he needs somewhere to sleep tonight. Oliver says he does, and Dodger takes him to the house of a man named Fagan, who has some other boys with him. Fagan and the other boys welcome Oliver to the house and give him some food to eat.

After a while, Fagan gives Oliver a bottle of hot gin to make him fall asleep. He then tells Dodger and the others that he believes Oliver will turn out to be a hard worker. The next day, after the other boys leave the house, Fagan confirms that Oliver is still asleep. A new pal. After this, he brings out his secret box of jewelry and admires the things inside.

Almost immediately, he sees Oliver staring at him and looks shocked. He then approaches Oliver angrily and asks if he has been awake for a long time. Oliver says he only just woke up and Fagan asks if he has seen the box of jewelry. Oliver says he has and Fagan says they are the things he's keeping for when he gets really old.

He also tells Oliver to keep his secret and Oliver agrees. Shortly after, the other boys return to the house and Dodger gives Fagan the bread he stole. Fagan then shares the bread and asks the kids for the other things they stole. Interestingly, it turns out that Fagan is actually a criminal who sends the kids out to steal every day.

As he then talks about picking pockets, Oliver says he wants to learn so he can help out like the other boys. The next day, Fagan teaches Oliver how to be a pickpocket by showing him how Dodger and the other boys do it. Oliver seems impressed and as he applauds them, two ladies, Nancy and Bet, enter the house. As they see that Fagan already has a new apprentice, Nancy asks if he's already teaching the innocent boy how to steal, just like he taught her.

Fagan says it's not a bad thing, and he introduces Oliver to the ladies. Oliver greets them well, and Nancy looks impressed. She also tries to warn Oliver to be careful around Fagan and the other kids, but Fagan stops her from saying too much. Nancy then asks about Oliver's mom, but he says he's an orphan.

Only drink it quick cuz an allergy gentleman wants a tumbler. The next day, after the other boys leave the house, Oliver looks disappointed to be alone, and he tells Fagan to give him a chance to show what he has learned. Fagan then gives Oliver a test, which he passes. After this, he agrees to let Oliver go outside to join the others.

He tells Oliver to follow Dodger and another boy named Charlie because they're the best models for him. He also gives Oliver a pair of boots and this makes him happy. After Oliver leaves the house, he walks around with Dodger and Charlie. Who suddenly spot a man named Mr. Brownlow standing in front of a bookstore with an expensive handkerchief in his pocket.

Dodger and Charlie then approach the man and steal the handkerchief with style. Oliver looks impressed, but as he's looking at them, the bookstore owner comes outside and alerts Brownlow that he has just been robbed. Charlie and Dodger quickly escape, and as Oliver looks confused, Brownlow assumes that he's the thief. Oliver quickly runs away, but before he can get too far, someone punches him.

This gets him injured and the cops also arrive to arrest him while he's trying to tell them that he's not the thief. And the game where we Fagan Oliver eventually stands before a magistrate while looking pale. The magistrate doesn't seem to care about Oliver's health, and he asks what Brownlow is charging Oliver with. Brownlow tries to explain that he no longer wants Oliver arrested because he looks innocent, but the magistrate sounds arrogant and insists on giving a speedy judgment.

After learning that Oliver was caught stealing, he sentences the young boy to 3 months in jail. Almost immediately, the bookstore owner arrives and says that Brownlow was robbed by two other boys while Oliver just watched. The magistrate asks why the bookstore owner didn't say anything earlier, and he says there was no one to stay back at his shop for him. Following this, Oliver is released and dropped outside the court while still looking pale.

Brownlow feels sorry for Oliver and decides to take him home. Elsewhere, Dodger tells Fagan about what happened, and he looks pissed. As he scolds Dodger for letting something like that happen, a man named Bill walks into the house with his dog, Bullseye. He asks what's going on and Fagan explains that one of his new apprentices just got arrested.

Bill doesn't care much about this, but Fagan says that if Oliver exposes him, Bill will also be in trouble because they work together. Bill then suggests sending someone to check what's happening to Oliver at the magistrate's office. Fagan says Nancy can go because no one knows her in the area, but she refuses to do this. Bill insists that she has to go and he forces her to change her mind.

Following this, Nancy heads to the magistrate's office and says she's looking for her little brother. One of the men at the office then mentions that her brother left with the gentleman a while ago. He also gives her Brownlow's card so she can reach out to him to find her brother. That night, Oliver sleepwalks out of the chair he had been sleeping on, but he eventually passes out again.

Brownlow's maid, Mrs. Bedwin, then helps him up and calls Brownlow. When Brownlow gets downstairs, he tells Bedwin that there's something in Oliver that touched his heart. Bedwin says she feels the same way, and Brownlow eventually walks away to meet his friend, Mr. Grimwig, who believes Oliver might be a criminal.

Brownlow doesn't agree with Grimwig, and he insists that Oliver looks like a good boy. Especially the dodger, my dear, he'll be a great man himself. The next day, when Oliver wakes up, Brownlow comes over to greet him. He also tells Bedwin to prepare something nice for Oliver to eat.

Oliver thanks Brownlow for being so kind, but the rich man says it's nothing. Later that day, Brownlow takes Oliver to his office to see all the books he has. Oliver looks impressed and Brownlow asks if he would like to be a writer one day. Oliver says he would prefer to read books or become a book seller.

Brownlow finds this funny and Oliver asks if Brownlow will kick him out. Brownlow says he won't do that unless Oliver gives him cause. He adds that he hopes Oliver doesn't misbehave because he already trusts the young boy. Shortly after, Oliver heads out to burn his old clothes with Bedwin.

He says he's glad he won't have to wear the clothes again, and Bedwin says she's also happy for him. Almost immediately, Bullseye stands in front of the gate, and it turns out that Bill and Nancy are in the area. After a while, the bookstore owner sends his apprentice to deliver some books to Brownlow's house. Oliver takes the books inside for Brownlow, who tells him to call back the apprentice.

Afraid it is. That's a good one. Afraid it is. As Oliver heads out to find the apprentice, Bill nearly grabs him, but a carriage blocks the way. Oliver then returns to the house to inform Brownlow that he didn't see the boy. Brownlow looks disappointed because he wanted to return some books, but Grimwig suggests sending Oliver to do it.

Oliver says he doesn't mind doing it and Brownlow gives him the books as well as a£5 note which he says he owes the book seller. Oliver keeps the note and says he'll be back shortly. Grimwig doesn't think Oliver will return because he already has a£5 note with him, but Brownlow says he's sure Oliver will be back. As Oliver heads to the book seller shop, he suddenly gets grabbed by Nancy, who calls him her brother, and says she wants him to come home with her.

Oliver looks confused and tells the people in the area that he doesn't know her, but they don't believe him. As he tries to free himself, Bill shows up and pretends to be a relative. Following this, they're able to take Oliver back to Fagan's house. Dodger and the other kids look shocked to see Oliver's new clothes.

And Fagan also finds the £5 in his pocket. As the kids play with the books while Bill asks for the money, Oliver begs them to return it so that Brownlow won't think he's a thief. Feen and the kids laugh about this, but Oliver manages to escape. Fagan and the kids quickly go after him, but Nancy stops Bill from going out because she's scared that Bullseye might kill Oliver.

Bill doesn't care about this and he just pushes her away before Oliver can get too far. Fagan catches him and takes him back. He then scolds Oliver for running away. He also accuses Oliver of trying to report him to the cops. As Fagan throws some things at Oliver, Nancy defends him, but Bill doesn't seem pleased to hear her insulting Fagan.

After the kids take off Oliver's fancy clothes, Fagan gives him something else to wear before locking him up in a room. The next day, Fagan brings Oliver some food and offers to advise him. He then calls Oliver an ingrate for trying to run away the previous day. He also tells Oliver about a boy who once tried to report him to the cops.

He says the boy was eventually framed and hanged for crimes he didn't commit. Oliver doesn't say anything, but Fagan tells him not to end up like that boy. That night, Dodger calls Oliver to come and clean his boots. While he's at it, Dodger asks about Brownlow's house, and Oliver says he enjoyed it there.

Dodger doesn't like this, and Fagan sends Oliver to Bill's house. On the way, Nancy says she wishes she could help Oliver, but there's nothing she can do. She adds that Oliver shouldn't talk back to Bill if he doesn't want any trouble. As they get to the house, Bill loads his gun and threatens to kill Oliver if he says a word when they go out together shortly.

Oliver looks really scared and promises to cooperate. After this, Bill takes Oliver to meet his friend Toby, and the two men prepare for a robbery. They eventually leave the house with Oliver and as he notices that their target is Brownl low, he begs them not to let him rob the man who helped him. Bill doesn't care about this and he threatens to kill Oliver if he doesn't go in through the window to open the front door.

Barney, a glim, show the gentleman in. As Oliver enters the house, he tries to run upstairs to meet Brownlow, but Bill points his gun at him. Oliver then opens the door, and just as Bill and Toby enter the house, Bedwin and Brownlow see them. Oliver quickly pleads his innocence, but as Brownlow and the criminals exchange gunfire, he gets hit.

Toby quickly carries Oliver out of the house, and as Bill follows them, he falls into a nearby river as he struggles to swim back out. Toby abandons him and takes Oliver to Fagan's house. Fagan realizes that Oliver's arm got hurt, and he quickly tries to stop the bleeding. Luckily, Bill makes it back home, but catches a cold.

Fagan follows Nancy to his house and Bill tells his friend that they need to do something about Oliver. He says that as long as Oliver is still alive, they can as well consider themselves hanged for all their crimes. Fagan says Oliver is still too weak and Bill says that when Oliver is better, he'll drown him in a river to get rid of their problem for good. Nancy hears everything they talked about.

And as Fagan leaves, she pours a seditive into Bill's drink. After he falls asleep, Nancy heads to Brownlow's house and meets Bedwin instead. She says she wants to speak to Brownlow, but Bedwin says he's not at home. Nancy then mentions that Oliver is innocent, and Bedwin asks where he is.

Nancy says he's safe at the moment, but that things might change really soon. Bedwin looks confused, but Nancy tells her to inform Brownlow to meet her at London Bridge on Sunday night. She adds that if she's not there on Sunday, Brownlow has to continue coming to the spot until he meets her. Elsewhere, Fagan notices that Oliver is still feeling pain in his arm, and he helps him apply a bomb on it.

Oliver thanks Fagan and says he'll forever be grateful. He adds that he'll always remember it, and Fagan says no one knows how long that will be. Shortly after, Fagan heads to Bill's house to talk about when to kill Oliver. They agree to do it in a day or two, and Nancy tries to leave the house.

But for the day tomorrow. Bill looks surprised and wonders what she's doing, but she says she just needs to get some air. Bill says he won't let her go out at night, but Nancy tries to force her way through. Bill still stops her and Nancy then begs him to let her step out for a while.

Bill still refuses, and as Nancy decides to stay back, she starts laughing hysterically. Bill looks confused, but Fagan jokes that it's probably nothing. When Fagan is ready to leave, Bill tells Nancy to carry a light out for him as she follows Fagan to the door. He asks why she was acting strangely earlier.

He says she can confide in him because he's her old friend, but Nancy says she's fine. Fagan doesn't believe this. And when he leaves, he finds Dodger and tells him to watch Nancy for a few days to see if she does anything suspicious. The next night, Nancy goes to London Bridge to meet Brownlow and tell him where Oliver is.

She also keeps Bill's name out of her story because she loves him. But she gladly mentions Fagan's name and tells Brownlow to report him to the cops because Oliver is in danger. I thought I tamed her of that. Interestingly, Dodger is standing nearby and he hears everything. Brownlow offers to pay Nancy for the information, but she says she didn't do it for the money.

Elsewhere, Fagan and Bill prepare to leave the house with Oliver, who is already asleep. Almost immediately, Dodger returns home and tells them that Nancy just told Brownlow about Fagan and Oliver. Even though she didn't mention his name, Bill seems really pissed and angrily heads home to meet Nancy. Fagan then tells Dodger and the other kids to pack their things and head to Toby's house to hide.

After the kids leave, Fagan packs some of the things in his secret jewelry box and decides to take Oliver with him as a bargaining chip. Meanwhile, Bill arrives home and beats Nancy to death out of anger. The next day, Bet discovers NY's dead body inside the house, and she immediately alerts everyone. Elsewhere, Bill tries to leave London.

More information has reached a correspondent, but decides to go back to get some money from Fagan so he can just head to France. When he gets back to London, he tries to tie Bullseye up, but the dog runs away. Meanwhile, Toby buys a newspaper and reads the top story to Fagan and the kids. The story happens to be about NY's death and how Bill is responsible for it.

The story also mentions that NY's death comes just after she reported Fagan for kidnapping Oliver. Fagan looks disappointed because he's now wanted and he starts thinking of what to do next. Elsewhere, Bullseye walks close to a bar where someone spots him as Bill's dog. While Brownlow is at the police station asking for a progress report on the search for Oliver, an officer comes in to mention that Bill's dog has been found.

That night, Bill visits Toby's house, but Dodger and the other boys don't want him to come in.
