00:00Favre taught us all to drive when we
00:29were young, which gave us a measure of independence not enjoyed by most women in those days, and
00:35Debo was his last pupil.
00:37Now into third.
00:40No, not fast, not fast.
00:41Third, that's it.
00:43Yes, very good.
00:44Yes, now, faster, faster, and stop.
00:51Good grief.
00:53Very good.
00:54Now, reverse.
00:56Reverse.
00:56To the left and up, up.
00:57Now, on we go.
01:02Decker was coming out into society in a few months' time, with Debo just two years behind
01:07her.
01:08Then we're all growing up, carving our own lives.
01:11Of course, there were bound to be disagreements between us about things like politics, but
01:16nothing that could fundamentally threaten the deep bonds of family, surely.
01:20Everything all right?
01:21No, no, not really.
01:24David!
01:25I'm so hungry.
01:26David!
01:26Lunchtime!
01:27Wash your hands, girls.
01:29Wash your hands now.
01:29One and one.
01:31Come on, Decker.
01:31Run.
01:32Dear Marv and Favre, yesterday was the most wonderful and beautiful day of my life.
01:47I went to lunch, as usual, at the Osteria Bavaria, hoping to catch sight of the Führer again,
01:54and he was there with two other men.
01:57And after a few minutes, one of them came over and said to me, the Führer would like
02:02to speak to you.
02:03No!
02:04What?
02:05I got up and went over to him, and he stood up and saluted, and shook hands with me, and
02:10invited me to sit down next to him.
02:13What?
02:13I don't believe it.
02:14I talked to him for about half an hour.
02:17It's a joke, surely.
02:19I told him I was a British fascist.
02:22And he asked if there were very many of us, and I said yes, and said that he should come
02:26and visit England, and he laughed.
02:29He said he would love to, but he was afraid there would be a revolution if he did.
02:34He said London was the best city in the world.
02:37We talked about Wagner, and he asked if I'd ever been to Bayreuth, and I said no, but
02:42I should love to.
02:43And he told one of his men to make a note of that.
02:46Dad!
02:47Hello, you.
02:50Oh, no!
02:53Thanks so much for coming to Munich.
02:56Of course.
02:56I'm the luckiest girl in the world, aren't I?
02:59No one else would understand but you.
03:01I'm so happy that I wouldn't mind a bit dying.
03:04It's wonderful.
03:06I'm so proud of you.
03:07It was just pure heaven.
03:09He was so nice to me, and not at all grand or conceited.
03:13And when you think, he's the most powerful man in the world, isn't he?
03:17And you've met him, Bobo.
03:20And you must meet him too, Honks.
03:22I'll introduce you.
03:23I would love that.
03:24I mean, one has to ask why, of all the people in the restaurant, did he pick Bobo?
03:31Well, you must admit, she does have a certain look about her.
03:34Do you think that he wants her as a...
03:36As a what?
03:37Well, you know, as a girlfriend.
03:39Oh, stop it.
03:40Has he got a girlfriend already?
03:42Oh, Lord.
03:42We can't have two sisters, both mistresses to fascist leaders.
03:45What are the chances?
03:47God, no.
03:48Anyway, Diana's there.
03:49She'll protect her.
03:50Is she?
03:51Yes.
03:52Unity called her the same day.
03:53She got straight in her car and drove to Munich.
03:56Her car?
03:57Moseley bought it for her.
03:58A Christmas present, she says.
04:00Really?
04:01Oh, really.
04:03You two still not speaking?
04:05We will.
04:06Don't worry.
04:07I'm just letting her cool off a bit.
04:09So, where are you motoring off to next, Pam?
04:13Bratislava.
04:14Dreamy.
04:15Mm.
04:16And you?
04:18You seem to be here an awful lot.
04:20You fled the marital home.
04:21Only temporarily.
04:22We're a bit short of furniture at the moment.
04:25You know what this goes to show, don't you?
04:30What?
04:31The power of persistence.
04:39What does he want from her?
04:43Is she safe?
04:44Should we be bringing her home?
04:46She's done nothing wrong, exactly.
04:48I should think it's just a one-off.
04:50I'm sure he's far too busy to waste his time chatting
04:54to young foreign students.
04:55They've got a damn country to run.
04:57Anyway, Diana's there keeping an eye.
04:59Oh, yeah.
05:01By the way, there was a telephone call today
05:04from the estate agent's office.
05:07Yes?
05:08You left your gloves behind.
05:10They're keeping them for you.
05:13Yes.
05:14Yes, I, um...
05:15Yes, I, I did go in briefly.
05:18Why?
05:21Someone's interested in the, in the house, apparently.
05:24This house?
05:25Hmm.
05:26Yes, just renting it for, for six months.
05:30Name of MacKinnon.
05:31Our family home?
05:33Probably won't come to it.
05:34It's just in case we need to raise some cash temporarily.
05:39The fellow offered a decent sum.
05:41When we moved in here, you said we'd never leave.
05:43Carried out in a box, you said.
05:45Well, I can't control the value of stocks and shares.
05:49There's a depression going on out there in the world, you know.
05:53And our living expenses are sky damn high.
05:56I'm not blaming you.
05:58But we still have two girls to send out into the world.
06:02Balls, dresses, deckers about to be presented at court.
06:06You think I don't realise that?
06:07Of course I do.
06:08We've got to give the young ones every chance, just as we did the others.
06:13Fat lot of good it did the others.
06:15Not a decent marriage between them.
06:17David.
06:18Yes.
06:19All I'm asking is that you don't make these big decisions without discussing them with me first.
06:24I mean, that's fair, isn't it?
06:26Meanwhile, I took myself home to see what state the latest lot of bailiffs
06:55had left my house in.
07:13Oh dear.
07:14Mm-hmm.
07:15There.
07:46Oh, hello darling, welcome home.
07:56What's going on?
07:57I am getting ready for the morning.
08:01Day out?
08:03I'm starting a new job.
08:05With another bank in the city.
08:08Yes, I know, it's about bloody time too.
08:13Come here.
08:16Come on.
08:27I'm sorry.
08:29I know I've been a total arse lately.
08:32When you were at home, Mary and Tony came over, saw the state of the place, read me the riot act.
08:37Mary said I had to get a grip, act like a real husband, and bring home some bacon because if I didn't, I'd lose you.
08:45And I don't want to lose you.
08:50Ricky, good old Mary.
08:52Then Tony introduced me to a chap who knows in the city and, well, job just fell into place.
08:56I'm going to do my very best to make it stick this time and get you some furniture bag.
09:03Well, that would be lovely.
09:05Good.
09:08Cup of tea?
09:10Hmm.
09:12What news from the family?
09:14Well, it looks like Unity is making friends in Munich.
09:23Race yourself.
09:27I'm so glad you're here again, lad.
09:30I wouldn't miss it for the world.
09:32Have you said anything to him about Mosley and me?
09:35Of course not.
09:36All I've said is that we, our family, know him, socially.
09:40Good.
09:42Have you told Mosley you're meeting the Fuhrer tonight?
09:45Not yet, no.
09:47Why not?
09:49He'll be thrilled, wouldn't he?
09:52It's complicated, but we're...
09:55It seems he's resumed his affair with his wife's sister.
09:58Oh, no.
10:00I thought that was all over.
10:02So did I.
10:04Oh, I am sorry.
10:06Oh, Bobo's just...
10:11Who he is.
10:13I knew when I met him what he was like.
10:16He has this physical compulsion.
10:18Some men do.
10:20Sometimes the greater the man, the greater the compulsion.
10:23But still, it must be awful to think of him with her.
10:28Occasionally, yes.
10:30But I know deep down that he loves me, needs me,
10:34much more than he needs her.
10:36Well, of course he loves you more.
10:39You're you.
10:40The thing is, she's the emotional type.
10:46Highly volatile.
10:48And she knows nothing of politics, which is his life, of course.
10:52And so, essentially, she's a drain on him.
10:55Whereas you are an asset to him.
10:57I'd certainly like to be of real practical use to him, if I can.
11:02And how can you?
11:03Well, the main thing the party needs now is money.
11:06A source of funding, a sponsor.
11:08What about the Führer?
11:09Yes, of course, he would be perfect.
11:14But mostly, he's been trying to get a meeting with him for months with no luck.
11:18But if you could get him a meeting?
11:21Well, we'll see.
11:23Let's see how your new friends here take to me first, shall we?
11:29Good evening, ladies.
11:31Your car waits.
11:33Dankeschön, Iri.
11:34Das ist meine Schwester.
11:36Mrs. Guinness, of course.
11:38Pleasure.
11:38Guten Abend.
11:40Shall we?
11:40Don't worry.
11:43The Führer's going to love you.
11:53The first presentation party of the year is held at Buckingham Palace.
11:57Up the mall came a long procession of cars,
11:59and passers-by had a glimpse of some of the 600 debutantes who were to be presented.
12:04The weather was anything but bright,
12:06but on this cold March day, nothing could dim the high spirits of these,
12:10the youngest guests of the King and Queen,
12:13on the threshold of their first season.
12:16Your Majesties, may I present to you
12:18Lady Reedsdale,
12:20the Honourable Mrs. Peter Rod,
12:23the Honourable Jessica Freeman Mitford.
12:27Smile, darling.
12:29They look like old, stuffed puppets with crowns on.
12:32They don't say anything.
12:34You don't say anything.
12:35Just two curtsies and you're out.
12:37Next, please.
12:38I mean, what's the point?
12:40There is none whatsoever, darling.
12:41It's completely meaningless.
12:43It's incredibly important.
12:44It marks the fact that you're now grown up.
12:47The start of the cattle market, you mean.
12:49Just hundreds of girls jostling about,
12:51waiting to be auctioned off to the highest bidding husband.
12:54Ready?
12:56Decker, it's the beginning of your social life.
12:59The point is to make connections.
13:02To meet people of both sexes,
13:05to go to parties and make friends,
13:07a commodity of which you're in very short supply.
13:09It's all small talk.
13:11No one I've met so far has any interest
13:14in anything that actually matters in this world.
13:17Ready?
13:17And they all look the same.
13:19I honestly, I can't tell any of them about.
13:22It's probably your eyesight, darling.
13:23You've ruined it with all that reading.
13:24Perhaps I just need glasses.
13:26Absolutely not at your age.
13:28Spectacles are terrible for young people
13:30and awfully expensive.
13:31No, no, no.
13:32The good body will right itself as it always does,
13:35and you'll probably see things better as time goes on.
13:37Shall we try a smile this time?
13:39Decker.
13:41Oh, marvellous.
13:43One of the family's been sent to prison.
13:45Oh, who on earth is that?
13:47It's that second cousin you took a fancy to,
13:49Decker, Esmond Romilly, Winston's nephew.
13:51Prison? What for?
13:52He showed up blind drunk with a friend
13:55at his parents' house,
13:57and, uh...
13:58Good old Auntie Nellie called the police.
14:01Oh, surely not.
14:02And at the next day's court appearance,
14:04she told the judge he was a communist agitator
14:06who had become uncontrollable at home,
14:09so the judge sentenced him to six weeks
14:12in a remand home for juveniles.
14:13No!
14:14Oh, that's awful of Nellie taking her own son to court.
14:17Romilly, 17, said he was going to use the time
14:20to further his revolutionary studies.
14:23Hurrah for him!
14:28Thank you very much, ladies.
14:29I think we got it.
14:30Well done, darling. Well done.
14:49Oh, dear.
14:51Hello.
14:52You must be one of those Mitford girls.
14:55Derek Jackson.
14:57You must be the youngest one,
14:59not, uh... not Jessica.
15:00Rebecca?
15:01Debora?
15:02Yes, that's it.
15:03Of course.
15:04I know your brother Tom from Oxford,
15:05And I met your sisters, Diana and...
15:08Who's that one always hurtling about in that little sports car?
15:11Pamela.
15:12Pam, yes, that's it.
15:14I mean, I've often seen you out hunting too.
15:17You're an excellent horsewoman.
15:20Absolute natural.
15:22I think I've seen you out riding too.
15:25You ride in short leathers like a jockey.
15:28I am a jockey, actually. Well, sometimes.
15:30At least I've ridden in the Grand National.
15:31Really?
15:32Mm-hmm. Twice.
15:34Although, my real work is as a scientist.
15:37At Oxford.
15:38I'm an atomic physicist.
15:40Wow.
15:41Yes.
15:42It's actually worth being one just to see the look on people's faces when I say it.
15:47How old are you, Deborah?
15:48I'm nearly 16.
15:51How old are you?
15:54Excellent.
15:55Excellent, Deborah.
15:57Race you to the gate.
16:03So, I got you a present whilst I was in Munich.
16:18Mm.
16:19Oh, darling.
16:21So jealous of you.
16:22You didn't used to do that.
16:24Where is it?
16:26In Munich.
16:28Well, that's a bit inconvenient.
16:29I don't suppose it's going to make its way here, perhaps, is it?
16:34No, no.
16:36I'm afraid you'll have to go there to get it.
16:39But I think you'll agree.
16:41It's a journey worth making.
16:48Hitler.
16:50Yes.
16:52He said he'd be delighted to meet you whenever you are next in Munich.
16:56Oh, my God.
17:00Oh, my God.
17:00That is something.
17:02Unity helped me, of course.
17:04She and I have been telling them all about you, paving the way.
17:09You might want to learn a few words of German beforehand.
17:12He doesn't speak in English, does he?
17:13No, of course not.
17:14Well, I have an interpreter, no doubt.
17:16I just find that the better my German gets,
17:18the more relaxed and informal our conversations become.
17:22Well, how relaxed and informal are you getting?
17:24Actually, he's invited me to the opera in Berlin next week.
17:29Has he?
17:30Hmm.
17:32So, there's the two of you, is it?
17:33Oh.
17:34I'm sure there'll be some bodyguards around.
17:41I'm not sure I like the idea of spending time alone.
17:45Well, there are certain people I don't like you spending time alone with.
17:54But I've learned we don't always get what we want in life.
17:58Do we, darling?
18:05Touché.
18:05And finally, the day I dreaded was upon us.
18:16Nothing for it, but to smile.
18:19Well, there you are.
18:21Oh, thank you so much.
18:23I shall treasure it.
18:24Well, come along.
18:25Let us all raise a glass to our distinguished authoress.
18:28Ah, cheers.
18:29Cheers.
18:30Thank you both so much for coming and preventing this from being the most depressing publication day in history.
18:35Can I just say that I offered to throw a party, Joss offered to throw a party, and the publishers themselves...
18:39I could hardly have a party to celebrate a book which has caused so much trouble.
18:42Well, you didn't cause it, darling.
18:43It's your bloody sisters attaching themselves to fascist leaders.
18:46I'll tell you, you're better off without them.
18:48Anyway, they're completely overreacting, and the book is only a very gentle satire.
18:52I've written to my sisters, explained, apologised, grovelled, and it's done no good.
18:57Well, I, for one, am really looking forward to reading it.
19:00I think everything you wrote is an absolute scream.
19:02Here, here.
19:03Darling, aren't these two the best of friends?
19:05No.
19:05Without them, I wouldn't have a job, and you certainly would not have a cake.
19:08Thank you both so much.
19:12To friendship.
19:17Right.
19:17Shall I like a piece?
19:18Yes, please.
19:19Tony's hand-oil.
19:19It's delicious.
19:20You've outdone yourself, Tony.
19:22There you are, Stubbs.
19:47Wondered if you fancied a spin in the car.
19:49She's...
19:50Oh, my lord.
19:51Favre will die if he sees you.
19:54He'll literally have a fit and die.
19:56Do you think they'll hang me for murder?
19:58Probably.
20:00But at least you'll look lovely on the front pages.
20:07Go like this.
20:12That's better.
20:14Less is more.
20:15Anyway, Favre won't see me.
20:16Anyway, Favre won't see me.
20:18It's just for special occasions.
20:20Oh, yes.
20:21Where are you off to?
20:22I'm going fishing.
20:23Fishing and lipstick do not normally...
20:28With Derek.
20:28Promise you won't tell.
20:30In fact, could you come with Derek Jackson?
20:33He's twice your age, Stubby.
20:36What on earth are you doing with him?
20:37I'm not doing anything with him.
20:39We're friends.
20:40He asked me about our trout stream, so I said I'd show him it.
20:44Oh, do come.
20:46He said he'd love to meet you properly.
20:47He says, of all my sisters, you seem the least bonkers.
20:51What a charmer.
21:02So, Miss Pamela, your sister tells me you spent the last year or so driving all over Europe.
21:08That's right.
21:09Awfully dangerous for a young lady driving abroad alone, isn't it?
21:13Not if you know how to change a wheel.
21:16I meant without a chaperone, a protector.
21:19Not if you know how to protect yourself.
21:22Ah, I see.
21:24You're the go-getter.
21:26Independent type.
21:27Take no prisoners, eh?
21:29Right, here we are.
21:30It's a nice spot, isn't it?
21:32And which type are you, Derek?
21:34Oh, Derek's the rude type.
21:36He hates the way that most people blither on in meaningless small talk and he's not afraid to tell them.
21:42And if that means that they think he's an arrogant pig, well, that's their problem.
21:48Isn't that right, Derek?
21:49Ha!
21:50Guilty as charged, I'm afraid.
21:52Your sister has me to a T.
21:54Ha!
21:55Ha!
21:55Guilty as charged, I'm afraid.
21:57Your sister has me to a T.
21:59It has me to a T.
22:17In Berlin, Dr. Goebbels, one of Hitler's chief ministers,
22:21makes the sensational announcement
22:23that Germany is to reintroduce conscription to the armed forces.
22:27In direct contravention of the terms of the Versailles peace treaty.
22:34This news sends a worrying message to the rest of Europe.
22:39Is Germany once again preparing for war?
22:43The living room was on the first floor.
22:57He always keeps the curtains closed, even during the day.
23:00Why?
23:01In case of snipers.
23:05So he's in there now?
23:07Yes. With her.
23:09Ava?
23:11Yeah. She arrived about an hour ago.
23:14Will she stay all day? All night?
23:18Probably. She usually leaves before it gets light.
23:21How long have they been?
23:23Two years, maybe?
23:25But he's never seen a public with her.
23:27Why's that?
23:28She's just a shop girl.
23:31She knows nothing of government, the economy, or of the Jewish problem.
23:36She doesn't understand politics at all.
23:38But politics is his life.
23:40What do they talk about?
23:42I don't know.
23:44Perhaps they don't do so much talking.
23:47Sex is just a compulsion.
23:51A great leader needs a woman who understands his cause.
23:55Who is wholly committed to it.
24:00Do you think he loves her?
24:02God knows.
24:04Look, we should leave.
24:06They patrol these gardens.
24:07Come.
24:17Will you help me write a letter?
24:20I need to get the German perfect.
24:23To the Führer?
24:24No.
24:25No.
24:26To the newspaper.
24:27Der Störmer.
24:29Now.
24:37Please.
24:45Der Störmer.
24:46I am a British woman fascist.
24:48Who has lived in Munich for several months.
24:50I should like to express my admiration for Germany's approach to the Jewish problem.
24:56Unfortunately, the English have no notion of the danger.
25:01Hello?
25:03Lady Riesda.
25:06The papers, yes, yes.
25:08The papers, yes.
25:09The papers.
25:12The papers, yes, no, no.
25:14Absolutely not, certainly not, no.
25:17The papers, yes, no, no.
25:18Sir, sir, what do you think of your daughter's letter?
25:33Do you believe about you, sir?
25:35I have nothing to say.
25:37Do stand and try.
25:39Is it true she's Hitler's mystery?
25:42Drive on!
25:43Unity, you're to come home at once.
25:44You're to take the very next train and talk to no one.
25:47Absolutely no one until you arrive.
25:49Do you understand?
26:14I refuse to apologize.
26:17It's not just your father and I.
26:19The whole country is angry with you now.
26:21I don't care.
26:23Those are simply my opinions.
26:24Unity!
26:25What on earth do you think you're afraid?
26:32What on earth do you think you're afraid?
26:39What on earth do you think you're afraid?
26:54What right, what right do you have?
26:57Splash your revolting effort and your utterly unbounded opinions across every town in this time and the night?
27:05You're a serial killer, you're a serial killer.
27:07You're a serial killer, you're a serial killer.
27:11Oh, she's here already to far she had that look about how you know how she gets stony
27:28I mean, where did all this hatred come from? She knows nothing about the Jew
27:31Nothing
27:33Bobo, where are you going? To London to stay with Diana. I'm obviously not welcome here
27:43Oh, don't be silly. Of course you're welcome
27:45I shall walk to the station and please tell Nancy that I have not forgiven her for publishing that book
27:50That book? Good God, what about this letter?
27:53Bobo, go back! Go!
28:04It's no good me ordering her back only for you to tell her she's not welcome here
28:08How on earth are we going to get to the bottom of why she said those ghastly things unless she's here to talk to
28:14There have to be consequences for her actions or how will she ever learn?
28:18She's not a child anymore. Banishing her won't work
28:21Well, what then?
28:27I don't know
28:29Maybe
28:30Darling, we have to reason with her
28:33Reason with Bobo, hmm?
28:36We have to try
28:38How else are we going to keep our family together?
28:52Go away!
28:56Hello, hello
28:57Well, it's you
28:58Well, she's been, she's taken the medicine and she's gone again
29:04I saw her
29:07I couldn't bear to speak to her
29:09Just why, why, why do you think she'd say these awful hateful things?
29:15I suppose
29:18Well, you know how much she idolizes him and and now suddenly she's having lunch with him and
29:24It's gone to her head, she'd probably say anything to impress him
29:27Hopefully the scales will eventually fall from her eyes
29:30They won't
29:31I know her, she'll stick to it
29:34Ah, Pamela, did you come in? We're having such fun
29:37Did you get the call to return from love?
29:39All hands on death
29:40Hmm
29:41Well, unity's really done it this time
29:46The baddest a bad girl can possibly be
29:49Do you think she really means it?
29:51It's hard to tell
29:53But I went to visit her in Munich a couple of weeks ago
29:56And she took me to tea with him
29:59Hitler
30:00What? Pamela, how could you?
30:02Well, I was curious
30:04I mean, come on, who wouldn't be?
30:06And?
30:07He struck me as very ordinary
30:10Like a farmer in his brown suit sat in a tea room making chit chat
30:16Hard to believe he's this ruthless dictator with these awful views
30:19But he is
30:20But you know what the extraordinary thing was?
30:23Not Bobo's love for him, which is quite obvious of course
30:25But the fact that he's clearly enchanted by her
30:29What?
30:30Yes, she makes him laugh
30:32And you know what she's like
30:33Just says whatever comes into her head
30:35She's completely natural with him
30:38Whereas I suppose most people are in awe
30:41Nervous and on their best behaviour
30:43Bobo isn't
30:45Well, if you've met him, I don't see why I couldn't
30:48Hitler?
30:49Um, you don't want to meet him, do you?
30:53Well, picture this
30:55At close range, I could whip out a pistol and shoot him dead
30:59Great scheme
31:01And then you would immediately be shot dead by his guards
31:04Maybe, but it would be worth it, wouldn't it?
31:06Er, no
31:06No, Decker
31:13What do you do when
31:14Someone you really love does something really, really awful and vile like this?
31:24That's a good question
31:26Can you still love them?
31:30Perhaps we don't really get a choice about loving sisters
31:34Maybe the love's just there in the background
31:43And always will be
31:46Whether we like it or not
31:47Oh, I am sorry for you and Fav, this really is beyond the pale
31:53Oh, I am sorry for you and Fav, this really is beyond the pale
32:07That's all I can hope is that Diana can talk some sense into her
32:11Well, maybe
32:13Maybe I could pop in and have a word with them
32:15Yes, but aren't things rather difficult between you three at the moment?
32:18Well, I don't expect Bobo to relent any time soon, but
32:22Diana's more reasonable
32:24And, er, well, it's high time she and I cleared the air, isn't it?
32:27We are adults after all
32:29Well, tread very softly, won't you, darling?
32:31Yes, I will
32:33Thank you
32:37Bye-bye, darling
32:38Good luck
32:47As the eldest, I knew it was up to me to be the bigger person and build a bridge
32:53To pour oil on troubled waters
33:01Hello
33:19If you've come to see Unity, I'm afraid you've had a wasted journey
33:22She says she has no intention of speaking to you
33:24No, actually, it's you I've come to see
33:29How are you?
33:29Very well, thank you
33:34How are the book sales going?
33:38It's sold remarkably badly, you'll be pleased to hear
33:41And reviews have been indifferent at best
33:47Look, I'm
33:49I'm truly sorry that it offended you both
33:52Obviously, it's not what I set out to do
33:54I'm actually in the middle of packing
33:59I'm going to a dinner party tonight and then I'm driving straight off to Moseley's place afterwards, so
34:03I'm rather busy
34:05Right
34:06Listen, Mav wondered if you would have a quiet word with Unity about her letter and just explain to her why everyone's so upset about it and perhaps
34:15Encourage her to rethink what she said if she clearly listens to you
34:21Certainly not
34:23She's an adult now and she's entitled to her opinions
34:25But
34:27Nard, you cannot support what she said in that letter, all that hatred, I mean you can't, can you?
34:31Look, her views are her own
34:33If that's what she thinks, I don't see how I can change it
34:36Oh, come on
34:38You have a huge influence on her, you can't just, you can't just sit by and do nothing
34:42You can't condone it
34:43Neither Moseley nor I have anything against the Jews as a race
34:47But what's happening in Germany, it's none of our business
34:50What? This, this
34:52This isn't you, this is Moseley speaking, isn't it?
34:54Don't be ridiculous
34:55Well, it's not the girl I grew up with
34:57It's not you
34:58Don't tell me who I am or what I think
35:01Just because you're the eldest
35:02It's got nothing to do with that
35:03Doesn't mean we have to fall in line behind you
35:06We are all entitled to our own views, to be ourselves
35:09Now, if you'll excuse me
35:11But that's it, since you met Moseley, you're not yourself at all
35:13You've changed completely
35:15You think you know me better than I know myself
35:18Well, you don't
35:20Just get out, will you?
35:22Now!
35:25Oh, don't worry, I'm going
35:28I'm going
36:28Good God, what are you doing here?
36:39I'm just about to have an early night.
36:41Sorry.
36:43You don't fancy a really strong drink instead, do you?
36:51Wait there.
36:58I mean, Unity's always been an obstinate, obsessive creature who loves to shock.
37:14Diana, Diana's a sophisticated, intelligent woman, but now suddenly she can't complete a sentence without the word Mosley appearing in it.
37:22I mean, later tonight she's driving halfway across the country just to be with him. What on earth is the attraction?
37:27Fame, power, driving ambition, virility. All the age-old aphrodisiacs, I suppose.
37:34But refusing to condemn Unity's letter, that's just not her.
37:39She's always had lots of Jewish friends. You, for example. I mean, that's Mosley speaking.
37:43She can't have changed that much.
37:47Well, perhaps that's how it begins.
37:50I mean, Mosley started off as a perfectly reasonable politician, didn't he?
37:54I suppose so, yes.
37:55But then, power became more important to him than his principles. And to get power, as Hitler observed early on, it helps to have a scapegoat. A focus for people's hatred.
38:08And, well, the Jews have always been there.
38:14Oh, God, I'm sorry. This is too much. I shouldn't be bringing this up.
38:17No, no, no, no, no, no.
38:20We have to talk about it.
38:22We have to confront it.
38:25You know, my grandparents escaped the Ukraine 50 years ago, came here, they had rocks thrown at their house.
38:37They were called filthy sheenies by their neighbors.
38:40And only once they moved, changed their name, shed every outward sign that they were Jewish, really,
38:48did they finally start to feel safe enough to build a life and have a family.
38:55So, so they were in hiding, really?
39:00In a way, yes.
39:03Yes, because there's always the fear.
39:05But because of that sacrifice, my parents got to grow up feeling like this is their home.
39:13And they passed that belonging, that feeling of safety, that feeling of safety onto us.
39:26And then, enter the fascists.
39:29And here we all are again, right back to square one.
39:32Thanks to Moseley.
39:33Thanks to Moseley.
40:37And was it my fault she was so upset that night that she drank a lot more champagne than she should have?
40:45Definitely.
