00:00Good afternoon, miss.
00:26Is that it?
00:27That's it, righty enough, miss.
00:28Granny calls it the Devil's Work.
00:29Well, I can't say I've ever heard it called that before.
00:30Stand back now.
00:31Did you know if you touch it, your hair stands on end?
00:43You are not going anywhere near it, young lady.
01:05Come on.
01:08Is it true you've been sacked, sir?
01:11No, it's not true, Fenton. Tuck that shirt in, please.
01:14So why are you leaving before the end of term, sir?
01:18That is for me and the headmaster to know, for you to wonder at, Smith.
01:22Well, there's definitely no more Greek.
01:24Correct, Johnson, there is definitely no more Greek.
01:27The headmaster, in his wisdom, has decided there are more useful subjects to study.
01:31Come on, hurry up, all of you. Class is starting in one minute.
01:41No.
01:43Where would you like it, Mrs. Spence?
01:45Where do people usually put it?
01:47Well, it would normally be where you're sitting, ma'am.
01:48Well, that's not entirely helpful in a house like this.
01:51What do you think? Library, drawing room, morning room, stamp room, old parlour?
01:55Let's put it in the drawing room for now. This way.
02:01Is it easy to work?
02:02I would suggest that I discuss the technical details with Mr. Spence.
02:06Well, he's in London.
02:07Besides, my brother-in-law can barely boil a kettle. I don't think he'll be much use.
02:19Do you need any help, sir?
02:22No, thank you, Seaton. I think I can manage. Run along.
02:28I'm glad there are no hard feelings, John.
02:31It was a difficult decision, but Major Halton has a young family.
02:35Yes, of course, Headmaster. French conversation is a more practical subject for the boys, I see that.
02:43Is that all you're taking?
02:44Oh, it's all I need.
02:46So, a walking tour?
02:48Yes. I thought I'd see a bit of the world, what's left of it. I've always wanted to visit.
02:52Quite. The romance of the road and all that.
02:55Yes.
02:56Are you sure I can't call you a taxi?
02:57No, thank you. I thought I'd start as I mean to go on. My train isn't until six.
03:02Well.
03:04Au revoir.
03:06Bye.
03:32Thank you, Bill.
03:44All right, cheerio.
03:50Excuse me.
03:55Excuse me.
03:58Hello, love.
04:00Here's your change, sir. And your room's ready whenever you are.
04:05I don't think this is...
04:29I don't know.
04:59Hello?
05:08Hello?
05:13Hello?
05:20Bloody hell.
05:25You're not the devil by any chance, are you?
05:28No.
05:33But I think this might be your change.
05:39Come into the light so I can get a proper look at you.
05:49The landlord thought that I...
05:52Well, you can hardly blame the poor chap.
05:57That is incredible, don't you think?
06:02I mean, who the hell are you?
06:04Er, John. John Standing.
06:06Who are you?
06:08Johnny Spence.
06:10Pleased to meet you? No, completely astonished to meet you.
06:13We've got time for a quick one.
06:14We must have. Come on, my shout.
06:16We'll probably discover we've got dozens of cousins in common.
06:18Do you have any cousins?
06:19Er, no, not really.
06:20You have a whole herd of them.
06:21Don't get on with a single one. It scrounges them all up.
06:27That's you.
06:28Thank you, Mr. Spence.
06:30This should keep us going.
06:33You're not rich by any chance, are you?
06:35Er, no, not at all.
06:37I was in a brothel once in Paris.
06:39I had a set of twins that cost a thousand francs an hour.
06:42I don't think you're quite in that league yet.
06:44Circus, maybe.
06:45Cabaret.
06:46What do you think?
06:47Cheers, anyway.
06:48So where are you from?
06:49Wales.
06:53Father?
06:54Dead now. Worked on the mines all his life.
06:55Oh, you don't sound like a taff.
06:56My dad wanted me to go to university. It was his dream.
06:59So I went up before the war, got my degree,
07:01and came back talking like a bishop, as you used to say.
07:04Well, then we're definitely not related.
07:06I've never passed an exam in my life, Smoke.
07:09So what about family? Married?
07:11No, no, not.
07:12You must have some relations.
07:14Just a maiden aunt in Fishguard.
07:17Lucky dog.
07:18You haven't met her.
07:20What I wouldn't give to be in your position,
07:22to your freedom, long may it last.
07:24Long may it last.
07:48Is there enough?
07:49There's plenty.
07:51But there's still no word from him.
07:53No.
07:55Something's happened, I know it.
08:00This will stop you worrying.
08:02Mrs Paul thinks that he's missed the train.
08:05Oh, what would she know?
08:07Nobody in this house understands my son except me.
08:11Johnny doesn't like to fail.
08:20They're happy about the booze.
08:23As long as we drink out of these.
08:25Spoken to the kitchen.
08:26Ordered two large steaks.
08:27Very well done.
08:28Mashed potato and gravy.
08:29Cheers.
08:30Cheers.
08:33It's a walking tour.
08:35The open road is your oyster and all that.
08:36Yes, I have a few ideas.
08:38How about you?
08:39Oh, funk.
08:40Complete funk.
08:41Had a bugger of a day in town.
08:43I was on the train on the way back
08:44and I thought, what the hell am I doing?
08:45Going home like a lamb to the slaughter.
08:47So off I got.
08:49Here I am.
08:50What about your family?
08:51Won't they be worried?
08:53Oh, about me?
08:54Never.
08:55About themselves, definitely.
08:56Waiter!
08:57More of your delicious tea.
08:59No, greed.
09:00That's what makes the world go round.
09:02Men, women, children.
09:04Whatever you do, it's never enough, is it?
09:06No one's ever satisfied.
09:07It doesn't take much to satisfy me.
09:09Well, you're lucky.
09:10The world's your playground.
09:11Mine hangs around my neck like a rope.
09:15Ignore me.
09:16It's not every day you get a chance to talk to yourself
09:18without being carted off to the funny farm.
09:21I'm actually rather enjoying it.
09:23I'll do this.
09:25It is extraordinary, us meeting like this, isn't it?
09:28Yes, I suppose it is.
09:29I mean, don't you think there's something special about now?
09:32This moment between the death of one monarch
09:34and the coronation of the next.
09:36What do you mean?
09:37Well, anything's possible.
09:38The throne's empty.
09:39No one's in charge.
09:40To anarchy.
09:42To anarchy.
09:50Is that Daddy's plate?
09:52I hardly touched it.
09:54He'll be cross with you.
10:00I know.
10:02Give me the pieces and I'll tell him it was me.
10:05Then he'll be cross with you.
10:09I think there's a place in town where we can get it mended.
10:12Then he'll never know at all.
10:15Of course, Plato believed that every man was split in half by Zeus
10:18so that he couldn't compete with the gods.
10:20Which means if you think about it,
10:21everyone has a twin somewhere in the world.
10:23It's just a question of looking for them.
10:25You're not a professor, are you?
10:27Teacher.
10:28Ex-teacher.
10:29Oh, what time is it?
10:30I have to go to the station.
10:31We've got plenty of time anyway.
10:32All your things are at the pub.
10:33We left them there.
10:34Come on.
10:35Sir!
10:36Your coat, sir.
10:37Oh, yes.
10:38Well done.
10:40That's mine.
10:41That's his.
10:42I can't wear this.
10:43Of course you can.
10:46I haven't worn one of these since I was ten.
10:50Look at that.
10:51Perfect fit.
10:52Could have been made for you.
10:53Is that what you said about the gods?
10:55When they keep us apart, we're nothing but together.
10:57We can rule the world.
11:20Well, what's the verdict?
11:22There isn't one.
11:23What do you mean?
11:24Exactly that.
11:25We haven't heard.
11:26He's disappeared.
11:27He checked out of his club in London yesterday morning.
11:29He was booked on the 12.15.
11:30George was there to meet the train.
11:31He wasn't on it.
11:32All the three that followed.
11:33And he didn't telephone the house.
11:36If we're to keep to the plan,
11:38I should issue notices this morning.
11:41It's going to be a hell of a business.
11:43Yes, I know that, Arthur.
11:46But now we just have to wait.
11:47I can't give the authorization without him.
11:50You know what my brother's like.
11:52It's ridiculous, this rule about not having a fire in the morning.
12:17What's the point of economizing on wood
12:18when we live in the middle of a forest?
12:20Perhaps you could have a word with Charlotte.
12:22And have her give me one of her black looks.
12:24No, thank you.
12:25Anyway, it's your responsibility.
12:27I've had some fresh toast made up for you, Miss Spence.
12:30Thank you, Charlotte.
12:31Mr. Spence has just telephoned from a public house in Peterborough.
12:35What's he doing there?
12:36It's a bit early, even for Johnny.
12:38He had to stay the night there.
12:40He was feeling indisposed.
12:42Did he say anything about the contract?
12:44No.
12:47Will that be all, Mrs. Spence?
12:51Yes, Charlotte, thank you.
12:53And he won't be back for hours now.
12:55Inconsiderate bastard.
13:01Who is it?
13:03It's me, sir.
13:05George.
13:07Oh, my God.
13:11I'm sorry, who is it?
13:14Could you please open the door, sir?
13:17It's locked.
13:21Perhaps you might consider unlocking it, sir.
13:26No, it...
13:37Um, I...
13:40I think you must have the wrong room.
13:41Don't worry, we'll have you out of here in a jiffy, sir.
13:43Let me help you get dressed.
13:44What? No, thank you.
13:46I think I'm quite capable of dressing myself.
13:51Please, I'll be quite all right.
13:52Shall I get you some coffee then, sir?
13:54No.
13:56I'm so sorry, that was, um...
13:58That was very rude.
13:59I just need to find my things.
14:01I understand, sir.
14:35I'm sorry, someone seems to have stolen my clothes.
14:37I made you one of my specials.
14:40Right, um, I think I should...
14:42Spack in one, sir, always the best way.
14:56That's very good.
14:57What is it? What is it?
14:59Vodka mainly, sir, just how you like it.
15:02Um, look, you should get the landlord up here, I really need to sort this out.
15:05Don't worry, sir, I've had a word and his discretion is assured.
15:08Fine, I'll do it myself.
15:14Ah, just the man, look.
15:16The fellow I met last night has run off with all my things.
15:20I can't find my wallet, I can't...
15:21Don't worry, sir, you settled everything very generously last night.
15:24No, no, the man who paid last night wasn't me.
15:27I mean, we swapped coats, but...
15:28Don't upset yourself, Mr. Spence.
15:30I'm not upset and I'm not Mr. Spence.
15:33Just for your things in the car, Mr. Spence.
15:35No, put them wherever you want, they're not my things.
15:39Wait here.
15:40Look, I'm not who you think I am.
15:42Look, you can ask me any question you want, I wouldn't know the answer.
15:45I don't even know who you are, don't...
15:49My God.
15:52That's a silver wraith.
15:57That's incredible.
16:02Four-speed transmission coachwork by Hooper, am I right?
16:05It's beautiful.
16:08Are you intending to drive, sir?
16:14Could I?
16:15Of course.
16:17You want to?
16:39Oh, my God!
16:41I'm so sorry, I didn't...
16:43Perhaps it would be better if I drove, sir.
16:46I'm so...
16:48I didn't see...
16:49Oh, my goodness!
16:50I'll pay for the damage, of course.
16:53All will be all right once we get you back.
16:55I'm so sorry.
16:56We'll be home before you know it.
16:58Yes.
16:59I'm...
17:17I'm so sorry.
17:45Johnny?
17:47Johnny!
17:48Sorry?
17:49I haven't got time to talk, Johnny.
17:50It's the Williamson dinner at six.
17:51One of us has to be there.
17:52What the devil's happened to the back of the car, George?
17:54Entirely my fault, sir.
17:56Well, it can come out of your way.
18:00Come on!
18:03I've got to go!
18:04Will you please stop shouting?
18:06It wasn't George's fault, it was mine.
18:08I've said I'll pay for the damage.
18:10I haven't got time for this.
18:31I'll take your bag upstairs, sir.
19:06Daddy!
19:07You're back!
19:08I've missed you so much!
19:09I have terrible news.
19:10Mrs Simpson is dead.
19:11Mrs Simpson is dead?
19:12Yes.
19:13Daddy! You're back! I've missed you so much. I have terrible news. Mrs. Simpson is dead.
19:33Mrs. Simpson is dead? That is terrible news. You don't look very upset. No, no, I am, I
19:41am. I didn't even know she was ill. Could you come up and see her after my bath? You
19:48mean she's here? Of course. I told Father MacCready he couldn't bury her until you came
19:53back. You just have to promise that you'll come up. I promise.
20:01Yes, it's him. Darling! God, you look a mess. Where on earth have you been? He really was
20:15ill. Well, you might at least apologize. We've been waiting all day for you to show up. I'm
20:18so worried. Aren't you going to kiss either of us? Look, um, there's been a mistake. I
20:23met, um, whoever you think I am last night, and we had a few drinks, too many drinks,
20:29I'm afraid, and then this morning when I woke up, he had stolen my clothes and my luggage
20:36and my wallet and taken off without any explanation. Anyway, I came here this afternoon to find
20:41out exactly what was going on. He's been drinking. I can smell it from here. I'm going up to
20:48change for dinner. Come on, Francis. Did you talk to Paul? He's been in a state all day
20:53about the contract. Is he the one who's just rude to me? It's not funny. He might at least
20:58have telephoned. There you are, Mr. Spence. Her ladyship has asked me to send you up at
21:07the moment that you arrive. I'm not... Please don't keep her waiting. We were expecting
21:11you yesterday, and she's getting quite anxious. Was there anything else you wanted? No, no,
21:26no, nothing at all. I am, of course, going upstairs.
21:56Annie? Oh, my God. What are you doing? Are you mad? Everyone's getting changed for dinner.
22:19The servants are everywhere. Annie's just getting me some shampoo. She'll be back in
22:27a minute. You are an idiot. Come and find me after dinner. Paul won't be back till late.
22:33I've made sure of that. Annie, dear, can you come and help me? I want it properly rubbed
22:41in. Yes, madam. You disgust me.
23:09Her ladyship was most insistent on seeing you immediately, sir. Right. She's expecting
23:16you for supper. Why don't I take this from you and you lead the way? Shall I? You beastly
23:45boy. Come and give your mother a kiss. Father MacCready, would you think me rude if I cut
23:57short our little game so that I can talk to my prodigal here? No, of course not. So, what's
24:03the tally now? I think I owe you two and fourpence. Very thrilling. We must make a note of that
24:08so that we don't forget. Now, where's my little book? Well, I'm sure you and Johnny have a
24:13great deal to discuss. Good to have you safe home, Johnny. Enjoy your dinner. Thank you.
24:25Now, come and sit beside me. What's the matter? You look ill. What have you done with your
24:38tie? I'm sorry. I'm feeling a little... Hung over. Serves you right. I suppose you found
24:45some little tart to amuse yourself with last night. Though goodness knows why you had to
24:49go to Peterborough to find one. So, did you settle with the Levitans? Did you agree the
24:57new contract? Don't play the fool with me, Johnny. Did you or didn't you? Yes, I did.
25:07Good. Oh, I knew you could manage it. Paul is such a baby. I knew that if you talked
25:14to them, you'd make them see it our way. You're a spence. The only one in this house as far
25:20as I'm concerned. Now, where's my present? Johnny, I'm not in the mood. I need it. We
25:30expected you yesterday. That'll be Annie, ma'am. I trust you haven't let me down. Now,
25:40tell us what's happening in London. Who did you see? What's the gossip? I don't see why
25:46you're acting so surprised. When has he ever behaved any differently? Perhaps he really
25:52was ill. Oh, don't be so bloody naive. Well, I think I'll go up and leave you to it. Tell
25:58Charlotte, if you ever see her again, that I won't be needing anything else. Good night.
26:07I'm sorry. It's all right. I'm fine. You have to stand up to my brother, otherwise he just
26:13takes advantage. Yes, I know. I think I'll go up to you. Well, good night.
26:38Good night.
26:44Do you have it?
26:50Her present.
26:55Shall we get it?
27:14That'll be the one.
27:19You nearly ran out. We were expecting you yesterday.
27:25Is that all you've got? It's not going to last very long.
27:43I'm sorry.
28:13You gave me a fright. I'm so sorry. Standing there in the dark, I thought... I'm sorry,
28:27it's entirely my fault. No, you shouldn't have just barged in. I thought you were still
28:31with your mother. I'm sorry.
28:43Would you undo me?
28:50Please.
28:52I was so worried. I thought something must have happened.
29:12Did it?
29:15Did what?
29:17Something happen?
29:19No.
29:22Oh, good. Thank you.
29:36Did you speak to Piglet?
29:38Who?
29:39She was waiting up for you.
29:41You all right? You're very quiet. Would you like me to run you a bath? You must be exhausted.
29:47No. No, thank you. How are you?
29:53All right, I suppose. Charlotte is being beastly to everyone. It seems to be my fault, of course.
30:01I don't see Piglet from one day to the next. She leads a completely secret life.
30:07Did you say anything to her, by the way? She's been acting particularly oddly since you left.
30:14What about you? How was it, the business with the contract?
30:20Oh, let's not talk about that now.
30:23Of course. I'll be done in a minute. I know I'm going on and you hate that.
30:29Darling, I...
30:30What?
30:31What?
30:32No, no, it's nothing.
30:34But what?
30:35No, no, it's nothing. You said darling.
30:43I'm being silly. Ignore me. Sorry.
30:46I think I'll pop out for a while. I'm not very tired.
30:50Do you have to?
30:53Yes.
31:05What the hell are you doing?
31:07I'm just popping out for some air.
31:09I left my door open for you. You've been away for over a week. I wanted to see you.
31:14Why do you think I told Paul to go to that dinner by himself? I thought we could spend some time together.
31:18God knows it's hard enough in this madhouse. Would you rather spend the evening with your mother?
31:22I didn't have much choice.
31:24So I thought you'd come to me straight afterwards, instead of wandering around like a ghost in the middle of the night.
31:28Can we talk about this in the morning?
31:31You can be a real bastard, you know that.
31:33Don't touch me. It's no good now. There's no time anyway. Even by our pathetic standards.
31:39See? That's him now. Go on, go. Get some bloody air and leave the rest of us to suffocate.
32:00Ow.
32:18You didn't come and say goodnight.
32:24That hurt.
32:25You promised.
32:28I'm sorry.
32:29If you don't come up by the time I count to 50, I swear I'm going to jump.
32:34Get back inside now.
32:35Don't say I didn't warn you.
32:37One. Two.
32:39Get back inside.
32:40Three. Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight. Nine.
32:59Ten.
33:12You're lucky I'm not dead.
33:20What on earth do you think you're doing?
33:22You said you'd come up.
33:25I was busy. I'm very sorry.
33:28You promised.
33:29I said I was sorry and I am.
33:32Very well. I forgive you. Kiss.
33:43You smell funny.
33:46What sort of funny?
33:47Funny like a doctor.
33:53I thought you were never coming back at all.
33:56Why?
33:57Because you said if things got too difficult, you'd disappear.
34:09Stop!
34:11What's the matter?
34:12Mrs Simpson.
34:18Oh, Mrs Simpson the goldfish.
34:25She's certainly dead.
34:28Ah.
34:32What would you have done if I had disappeared?
34:36Talk to myself.
34:37You don't even know what that means.
34:39Of course I do, silly.
34:40Children don't kill themselves.
34:42Then why did you run upstairs so fast just now?
34:45Because you might have slipped.
34:47I was holding on.
34:50Now pass Mr Rabbit.
34:58Hmm.
35:02Now you can tuck me in and make me snabbily.
35:05And you can promise not to do anything silly like that again.
35:08Only if you promise.
35:10What?
35:11That you'll never go away and leave me.
35:20Um.
35:24Look.
35:27Um.
35:31I can't make that promise, I'm afraid.
35:35Well.
35:37You must just hope for the best that you stay at home and that I stay alive.
35:50If I do have to go away, whatever the reason,
35:54I promise I'll tell you first.
35:57Cross your heart and hope to die?
35:59Cross my heart and hope neither of us has to die.
36:02Now go to sleep.
36:11Oop, oop.
36:13What's that?
36:15Mr Rabbit's saying goodnight too.
36:18Goodnight.
36:27Goodnight.
36:38Is that you?
36:41Yes.
36:43Yes, it's me.
36:57Goodnight.
37:28Hmm.
37:40Hmm.
37:57Hmm.
38:05Is this for me?
38:09It says F for Francis.
38:13Oh, well then I suppose so.
38:18Can I open it?
38:28It's beautiful.
38:35Did you have it made specially?
38:38I love it.
38:42Will you put it on for me?
38:45Yes, of course.
39:09Morning, sir.
39:11Mr Spence, I hope I'm not disturbing you.
39:13Not at all.
39:15I'll go and get dressed.
39:16Right.
39:19Oh, thank you, George.
39:24Where, where is everyone?
39:26My brother's at the foundry, sir.
39:28He's expecting you at, er, ten.
39:32Your sister and Mrs Paul are at breakfast.
39:37And her ladyship?
39:38Indisposed, sir, and likely to remain so for the rest of the day.
39:44I, er, found this in your waistcoat pocket, sir.
40:20Ah, good morning, Annie.
40:22Good morning, sir.
40:23I was just on my way to breakfast.
40:25Sorry, Mr Spence.
40:39Morning.
40:51What are you doing?
40:52Nothing.
40:56Can you please have a word with Charlotte about having a fire in the morning?
40:59It's ridiculous that there isn't one.
41:01Would you like me to light one?
41:08Did you enjoy your fresh air last night?
41:10Yes.
41:13Daddy bought presents for everyone.
41:15And Mummy got a locket with a picture of his face on it.
41:18I'm, I'm not sure you should...
41:19Is this one for me?
41:20It says Amel on it.
41:21Er, well...
41:22And this is for you, and for Aunty Nina, and me for Aunty Marge.
41:27And my one.
41:36Charlotte's web!
41:38Just as I wanted.
41:40Pleasure.
41:49I suppose you think that's funny.
41:52You really don't care about anyone, do you?
41:54Except for yourself.
42:03Can I open the present?
42:05No, you can't.
42:07George is waiting up front, sir, when you're ready.
42:10I'm coming now.
42:13Can I have it?
42:14Absolutely not.
42:18To my darling be, kiss, kiss, kiss.
42:21Isn't it pretty?
42:26That stinks.
42:28May I offer my congratulations, sir?
42:31What for?
42:32The Leverton contract.
42:33Your mother gave Mr Paul the good news this morning.
42:37Ah.
42:39It'll be quite a celebration tonight, sir.
43:12Well done, sir.
43:28Thank you, sir.
43:29I'm sorry, I couldn't keep it a secret.
43:31Thank you, sir.
43:32It's been like Christmas.
43:33I don't think anyone's done a scrap of work all day.
43:35Thank you, sir.
43:37Thank you, sir.
43:41Thank you, sir.
43:46Come on, how did you do it?
43:48I just couldn't believe it.
43:49I hardly know myself.
43:50It's incredible that they accepted our terms.
43:52Well done, sir.
43:55Have you got the contract?
43:56No, not with me.
43:57But you did sign it.
43:58There are some details to finalise, but I'll send it on.
44:00Well, a letter arrived for you this morning, that's probably it.
44:02Listen, I want to hear the whole story, but I've got to go into town and see the bank.
44:06I had a rather tricky meeting with old Thornton while you were away.
44:09Congratulations, sir.
44:10Oh, thank you.
44:11Arthur, can you make sure everyone gets back to work?
44:15Sorry about last night.
44:16I had a bit of a spat with Nina.
44:19I wasn't quite myself.
44:21Jolly well done.
44:23I really mean that.
44:30Just the sort of thing your father would have pulled off, if you don't mind me saying so, sir.
44:36I felt, well, that sometimes you didn't understand the lives of the men and women here.
44:43I'm happy to admit I was wrong.
44:46It's a terrible thing for a man to have no work.
44:50Yes, I know.
44:51We will need some funds by next week to cover the wages.
44:56The account's all here, sir.
44:58Mr. Paul and I went through everything ourselves yesterday.
45:02And again, congratulations, sir.
45:46Don't worry, I'll get him.
45:50Darling, you haven't even changed and it's half past seven.
45:53Everyone's about to go in.
45:55I'm not very hungry.
45:57What are you doing?
45:58Trying to understand these reports about the glassworks.
46:01I thought that was Paul's job.
46:03I'd like to understand them myself.
46:05You still have to eat.
46:07Sandwich, maybe? Glass of water?
46:10You are in an odd mood.
46:11I'm sorry.
46:12Don't be.
46:14It's rather nice to have to look after you for a change.
46:18We could take a picnic upstairs.
46:20Just us.
46:22I'll tell them I'm not feeling well.
46:24They're used to that.
46:32I used to have to stop boys from having midnight feasts.
46:35Here I am eating one.
46:37I didn't know you were Prefect.
46:39I wasn't.
46:41I mean, I was, I just wasn't a very good one.
46:45Charlotte finds out about all this, I'm dead.
46:48So is Annie.
46:50She caught me red-handed in the larder,
46:52but I managed to persuade her that my cause was just.
46:55She's very excited at the news, by the way.
46:57So clever to have managed that.
47:00Trouble is, I haven't.
47:03Oh.
47:05That's why I was reading all those papers.
47:10Did you know there was a report before the war
47:13commissioned by my sister from a chap called A. Farr?
47:17Alice Farr.
47:19Well, actually, it's rather good, as a matter of fact.
47:22I don't know.
47:23Alice Farr.
47:25Well, actually, it's rather good, as a matter of fact.
47:28Why don't you go back to your papers while I get all this cleared up?
47:31Well, let me help.
47:33No, thank you. I'd rather do it myself.
47:35No, please.
47:36I mean it.
47:53I mean it.
48:11What are these doing here?
48:13I was reading them last night.
48:15It's a bit late, isn't it?
48:18Look, I'm sorry about yesterday.
48:20I didn't know what I was doing.
48:21I think you knew exactly what you were doing.
48:26What would you have done?
48:28What would I have done?
48:30Well, I probably wouldn't have seduced my sister-in-law for a start.
48:33About the Leviton contract.
48:35What would you have done if they had refused to accept our terms?
48:37Oh, what does it matter now? They've signed, haven't they?
48:39But if they hadn't, what then?
48:41I would have done anything to keep the furnaces burning. You know that.
48:43It's madness to rely on a single contract.
48:46You should never have allowed us to be in this position.
48:48Daddy wouldn't have stood for it.
48:49I read that report last night.
48:51I didn't fully understand it, but he seemed to take it seriously.
48:55He did until you told him not to.
48:58Are these Alice's designs?
49:02You complete shit!
49:19I'm sorry.
49:49I'm sorry.
50:19I'm sorry.
