PIP ARRIVES AT THE EMPTY SLUICE-HOUSE IN THE MARSHES AND DISCOVERS THAT ORLICK HAD BEEN THE ANONYMOUS WRITER. ORLICK IS DRUNK AND THREATENS TO KILL PIP. ORLICK ALSO MAKES A SIGNIFICANT CONFESSION.
HELP ME!
YOU MADE ME LOSE MY JOB AT MISS HAVISHAM'S AND MADE BIDDY DESPISE ME! I WAS THE ONE WHO HURT YOUR SISTER, BUT IT WAS BECAUSE JOE FAVORS YOU!
CALL OUT AGAIN, AND I’LL MAKE SHORT WORK OF YOU!
ORLICK CONTINUES TO THREATEN PIP. DURING THIS TIME, PIP THINKS ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SAY GOODBYE TO HIS LOVED ONES. ORLICK ADMITS THAT HE WAS THE STRANGER AT PIP'S APARTMENT AS HE WAS COLLECTING INFORMATION FOR COMPEYSON.
JOE, BIDDY, AND HERBERT!
I'M GOING TO KILL YOU AND PUT YOU IN THE LIMEKILN!
I KNOW ABOUT YOUR PLAN TO ESCAPE WITH MAGWITCH!
MOMENTS BEFORE ORLICK HITS PIP, PIP SCREAMS. HERBERT, STARTOP, AND TRABB'S BOY ENTER THE SLUICE-HOUSE. HERBERT EXPLAINS THAT PIP LEFT THE LETTER BACK IN THEIR APARTMENT AND CAME TO FIND HIM. ALTHOUGH THE BOYS WANT TO PRESS CHARGES AGAINST ORLICK, THEY RETURN TO LONDON FOR PIP TO RECOVER FROM THE ORDEAL AND PREPARE TO LEAVE WITH MAGWITCH.
