00:00Who's that chap in the cotton trade?
00:02You mean Mr. Pope?
00:04Who is this man, Pope?
00:05Where's he come from?
00:06And why is father investing in his business?
00:08You seem very adept at getting people to put their hands in their pockets.
00:11If only I had your gifts.
00:12You say Lady Brockenhurst may pay you another visit.
00:14Why shouldn't I come with her and see it for myself?
00:16You know her well, then?
00:17Well, I'm engaged to her nephew.
00:20Ah.
00:21John Belisus will be the next.
00:22The next Earl of Brockenhurst.
00:23Yes.
00:25It seems I'm in a spot of bother.
00:27A thousand pounds?
00:30Two days!
00:31I won't give it to you.
00:32Do you know who I saw today?
00:34At your uncle's house?
00:35Charles Pope.
00:36Trenchard's protégé.
00:37How can we find out more about him?
00:39I need some information about the trenchards.
00:41And I'm led to believe in certain circumstances.
00:44You might be willing to help.
00:57Oh!
00:58Finally!
00:59Laugh!
01:00With you...
01:01The next Earl of Brockenhurst...
01:02He'll keep his leg out.
01:03You might have to find out more of what he is.
01:04If I'm getting into the chest, I will keep it in the middle.
01:08That's what the variety is!
01:10With you in the middle of the book,
01:12you will look in the early days.
01:14You won't find out.
01:15You've found out there.
01:16You will find out more of it.
01:17You will find out more of it.
01:18You will find out more of the book.
01:19You will find out more of it.
01:20You will find out more of it.
01:21You are done.
01:22I will find out more of it.
01:23You want to find out more of it.
01:24Why don't they clear these people away?
01:39Where would they clear them to?
01:41I must say, if he has the money, he certainly doesn't spend it on himself.
01:45Oh, he has the money.
01:47And he's Polish?
01:48I would assume so.
01:50I cannot think he'd be called Emil Tomaszewski for any other reason.
01:54He's from the line!
01:56Right, this is it.
01:58The debt would be honoured, Mr Tomaszewski, I assure you.
02:01There's no risk.
02:03No.
02:04You have no money of your own to speak of.
02:07You are heir to your elder brother, but it will probably be your son who inherits.
02:12Of course there is a risk.
02:14Well, I will repay you, should the need arise.
02:17When your uncle dies?
02:19And when will that be?
02:20You seem to know a lot about us.
02:22I knew you were coming here to borrow money, and it is my business to be thorough.
02:27The loan would be repaid.
02:29But when?
02:30At the rate of interest I charge.
02:32By the time you are in funds, the sum will exceed the national debt.
02:36No.
02:37Be off with you.
02:39You forget to whom you are speaking.
02:41I am speaking to a broken-down old bankrupt who is addicted to a habit which he cannot afford.
02:49Please correct me if I am wrong.
02:52What will you do now?
02:54Captain Black might lend it to me.
02:56Why should he?
02:57Because he's a snob, thank the Lord.
02:59I expect he'll want it back.
03:00So I would assume.
03:01And then what?
03:02It rather depends what you've discovered in the interim.
03:05What about Aunt Caroline and Mr Pope?
03:08Precisely.
03:12Can I have a moment, Miss Ellis?
03:20I've had word from Mr Bellicis.
03:22He wants to meet you in Mattox Alley at 11.
03:25Tonight?
03:26How do I know she'll have gone to bed by then?
03:28If she hasn't, I'll go instead.
03:30And get the tip.
03:31I'm sure that won't be necessary, Mr Tertner.
03:34Let's hope not, Miss Ellis.
03:37Why does he need to work with both of us?
03:39Wouldn't he be better off with just one?
03:41Well, I guess he needs me to search the master's papers and you to report what the mistress says.
03:45I don't know what to tell you.
03:47Tell him anything.
03:48As long as the information keeps coming, so I've got the tips.
03:51So you know nothing more and the purse will snap shut.
03:53Mrs Trenchard.
04:05Mrs Trenchard.
04:07Come and sit down.
04:10Do you remember Lady Maria Gray?
04:12You were at the party, but I don't believe you're introduced.
04:14Now, how could I help?
04:21I was passing the house and I wanted to talk to you about something, but it can wait.
04:25I'll go and leave you to allow.
04:27No need.
04:28It really doesn't matter.
04:30Lady Maria chanced upon my young protégé Charles Pope the other day in the square.
04:35He must have been coming away from this house.
04:38Did you meet him here?
04:40Charles Pope?
04:42I think I did, yes.
04:43We ended up walking across Green Park together.
04:47Mama did not approve, but by the time she heard about it, it was too late.
04:52He suggested that I might like to visit his office.
04:57That was very forward.
04:59Well, it might have been my suggestion, but he said nothing to put me off.
05:03Then let us go together.
05:05Really?
05:06But it might be better if it's a sudden impulse to go rather than a long-held plan.
05:11If I have to explain it to Mama.
05:14May I join you?
05:18Of course, if you'd like to.
05:22Now, what about some tea?
05:24Pleasant Day, ma'am?
05:35Yes.
05:38Oh, ah!
05:41You know, they don't seem to be easing at all.
05:43No, well, I'm not sure they were made for long walks.
05:45Belgrade Square is only around the corner.
05:49Hmm.
05:50That reminds me.
05:52I'm going to Bishop's Gate in a day or two.
05:57Really, ma'am, why ever would you want to go there?
06:00We're calling on a protege of Lady Brockenhurst's.
06:05You should visit the warehouses in Spitalfields if you want any material.
06:09You pay hard for what you would on Bond Street.
06:11That's right.
06:13I could get some black bombazine.
06:15I must always have wearable mourning in the wardrobe.
06:18Mine's very tired.
06:19And where are you driving?
06:22How should I know, ma'am?
06:24Lady Brockenhurst just asked me to accompany her on a drive this Thursday.
06:28If you want me to refuse, I will, but it may seem a little odd.
06:32No, go for your drive.
06:34I'm glad for you to be friendly.
06:36Very well.
06:37Is John to accompany you?
06:40I don't know.
06:41I don't think so.
06:43Have you seen John lately?
06:45Not lately, no.
06:46Shall we invite him here for dinner, perhaps?
06:52If you'd like to, please do.
06:56You're very compos-y.
06:59Am I?
07:01There are times where I feel like I've swallowed a furnace.
07:03Are you quite well, my dear?
07:22Yes, Mother, of course.
07:24You seem rather distant.
07:27So, did Lady Brockenhurst mind you're suddenly arriving unannounced?
07:31You went to see Lady Brockenhurst?
07:33Was her nephew there by any chance?
07:35No.
07:37But his fiancée was.
07:41His fiancée?
07:42Lady Mariah Gray.
07:44I like her.
07:45She was at the supper.
07:47Didn't seem very remarkable to me.
07:50And did you speak to the Countess?
07:53We spoke.
07:54Good.
07:56We'll talk about it later.
07:58Very generous, I must say.
08:00Hmm.
08:00Well, there's more where that came from, if you do what I ask.
08:03I'd be glad to, I'm sure, sir.
08:04So, she never mentioned it by name?
08:06No, sir.
08:07Just that he was approached, say, over ladyships.
08:09Hmm.
08:10Question remains, what is the link between Mr Pope and the Countess?
08:14That's all we have to find out.
08:16And when we do,
08:18I think she'll be a fortune to keep it secret.
08:21A fortune?
08:22A fortune.
08:24And you can help me get it, Miss Ellis.
08:27Together, we can get it.
08:30With just a little courage.
08:52Yes?
08:56Um, my name is Miss Ellis.
08:58I'm ladies' maid to Mrs James Trenchard.
09:01Who?
09:02Mrs Trenchard.
09:04She came to the supper the other night,
09:05and she fears she may have left her fan.
09:07You'd better speak to Mr Jenkins.
09:09Miss Ellis?
09:17Miss Ellis?
09:20I understand you're looking for something.
09:23My mistress's fan, sir.
09:24She thinks she left it here the other night.
09:26If I might see her ladyship's maid.
09:29I'm afraid nobody's found her fan of any description.
09:32Oh.
09:33Are you sure?
09:34Quite sure.
09:34She also asked if I might talk to her ladyship's maid about her hair.
09:41Her hair?
09:43She wants me to achieve a similar effect.
09:46Very well.
09:47Jane, fetch Miss Dawson.
09:49Yes, Mr Jenkins.
09:50Mrs Trenchard thought what you'd done was marvellous.
09:58A work of art.
10:00How did you get those very fine rulets in front of the ears?
10:03Well, that is a bit of a secret.
10:06I found a small pair of tongs in Paris on a visit there.
10:11And I've used it ever since.
10:13What will they think of next?
10:18What a beautiful room.
10:20Do you like the pictures?
10:23They were mainly painted by a ladyship.
10:26This is Leamington Park.
10:29It's been in the family since 1600.
10:31Doesn't look old enough.
10:33It's been rebuilt twice.
10:36The estate is more than 10,000 acres.
10:39How wonderful to work for such a noble family.
10:43I envy you.
10:44I can't complain.
10:46I've had a good life.
10:47Who's that?
10:48Pa, Lord Bellicis.
10:51Her ladyship's son.
10:54He died at Waterloo.
10:55He was her only child.
10:57The strange thing is I remember Lord Bellicis.
11:00From our time in Brussels before the battle.
11:03Did you know him?
11:05How was that?
11:06My mistress loved the party here.
11:09She met ever so many nice people.
11:11Well, not everyone gets into this house.
11:13She liked one young man very much.
11:16Was his name Mr. Pope?
11:18Oh, yes.
11:19A great favourite of her ladyship.
11:21A recent favourite, mind you.
11:23But he comes here often now.
11:25He must be charming.
11:27A very handsome man, I've heard.
11:28I don't know what that has to do with it.
11:31Now, I think it's time for you to leave, Miss Ellis.
11:36I'm very busy.
11:38And I'm sure you are, too.
11:40Of course.
11:40How generous you've been, Miss Dawson.
11:42Never mind all that.
11:44Now, come along.
11:45I'll take you down.
11:45I'm afraid Miss Dawson wasn't really the sort of woman we thought she might be, so she
11:55was no use.
11:57Hmm.
11:58You mean she was loyal to her employer?
12:02It appears so, sir.
12:05Well, then, tell me more about this visit to Bishop's Gate tomorrow.
12:08The mistress just said it was to call on a protege of her ladyships, but it must be
12:12Mr. Pope.
12:13Hmm.
12:15Then I'll be at the lion cub in his den.
12:19Well, you know the address, sir.
12:21I know how to find it.
12:22And no one will suspect you.
12:24Well, that's kind, sir.
12:26Well, not really.
12:27If you were sacked, you'd be of no more use to me.
12:29I should have my back to the horses.
12:51You both outrank me.
12:52Did you find your fan?
12:59What fan?
13:00That very pretty de Velaroy you had at the supper.
13:03I noticed how nice it was.
13:05Such a shame to lose it.
13:07But I haven't lost it.
13:09But your maid came yesterday to look for it.
13:11So my maid told me.
13:12She did, Ellis.
13:15How odd.
13:17Has she been with you for a long time?
13:20Oh, yes.
13:20Many years.
13:21But you know her very well.
13:23Do I?
13:25Sometimes I wonder.
13:28Jackson.
13:29Ah, this is very good of you, John.
13:40Yeah, well, I was looking for my aunt.
13:42Ah, I should have known you weren't looking for me.
13:45You've missed her, I'm afraid.
13:46She's paying her call on the young man we've rather taken a shine to.
13:49Mr Pope?
13:50The chap of the party?
13:52The very one.
13:52He has an office in Bishop's Gate.
13:54Oh, that's strange.
13:56I'm on my way to Bishop's Gate now.
13:57Remember the number, by any chance?
14:00Ah, 521, I think she said.
14:03She's taking Mrs Trenchard, the wife of that builder fellow.
14:07Though, why, I could not tell you.
14:16So, why did you take an interest in Mr Pope in the first place?
14:21Um, I don't remember exactly.
14:23But we like to encourage young talent, and we don't have any living children, so we like
14:30to help the children of others.
14:32He plans a voyage to India.
14:34Do you know anything about India?
14:36Not much.
14:37How I should love to go.
14:38All that colour.
14:39All that chaos.
14:40Have you travelled a lot?
14:42Hardly at all.
14:43Well, Ireland.
14:44We have an estate there, but that's hardly a fraud, is it?
14:47I should like to visit Florence.
14:49Me too.
14:50To see Michelangelo's David.
14:53And to wander the galleries of the Uffizi.
14:55You must be fond of art, Lady Brockenhurst.
14:57From us as you paint beautifully.
15:00Do you?
15:02Is it so amazing?
15:03This is a wonderful surprise.
15:10Lady Brockenhurst told me she'd be passing by, and I thought I might invite myself to join
15:14her.
15:15I am happy that you did.
15:16We're on our way to a silk merchant's, Nicholson and Company.
15:20But we couldn't resist the chance to inspect your place of work on the way.
15:24What can I offer you?
15:25Some tea?
15:26Some wine?
15:27Mrs Trenchard is the wife of your benefactor.
15:30We spoke at your house the other evening.
15:34Come into my office.
15:39Mr Trenchard has changed my life.
15:43Of course, I owe an equal debt to you, Lady Brockenhurst.
15:47You have thrown a bridge across the torrent that has kept me from my future.
15:50What a lathering.
15:52If I don't know any better, I'd think you're trying to sell us some brushes.
15:56Is that a new map of India?
15:58It is.
15:59The very latest.
16:00Oh, such a huge country.
16:05Bengal, Punjab, Kashmir.
16:08Oh, what a wild and romantic place it must be.
16:10There are so many different religions and languages.
16:13It is a world in itself, really.
16:15Oh, to see a tiger in the jungle.
16:18When you do, please ensure you're on the back of an elephant.
16:20Is that how they travel?
16:21They use elephants as we might use a carriage.
16:23They're clever and biddable, but riding one is like a boat at sea, rocking with every wave.
16:27Oh, I can imagine.
16:29Now you are going there to find your cotton.
16:31India must come to dominate the cotton trade in time.
16:34Aren't the plantations in the southern states of America the leading producers now?
16:37Maybe, but I will not profit from slavery, nor do I think it can last.
16:40You are full of ideas, Mr. Pope.
16:44Ideas and principles.
16:45Oh, he is.
16:46And to have managed all this at such a young age.
16:49Did your father not expect you to join the church?
16:52He did, but I knew I couldn't spend my life in a pulpit when I began to understand the age we live in.
16:56Is it so very thrilling?
16:57It is a new world.
17:00We have steam engines and railways.
17:03We have cast iron and steel.
17:05We make glass by new methods and paper, and we have gas to light the factories while the work is done.
17:09We trade around the globe.
17:11Our industry has transformed.
17:13Wool, silk, and above all, cotton are all produced in entirely new ways.
17:17And when I heard the mill was for sale, I knew it was my destiny.
17:20Bravo.
17:21Here, here.
17:26Well said, that man.
17:28John.
17:29Greetings.
17:30Oh, light of my life.
17:32What are you doing here, John?
17:33Well, I called on my uncle, and he told me where you've gone, and, well, I was curious to see Mr. Pope again.
17:39For what reason?
17:40Well, so many people have beaten a path through his modest door, I wanted to know why.
17:46I may call it modest, though, without offence, I hope.
17:48By all means.
17:49I was out riding, and I thought I might catch you up.
17:52Well, we haven't been here long.
17:54You ask why everyone has taken such an interest in my welfare, and I can only tell you it's a mystery to me.
17:59Hmm.
18:00Do you remember Mrs. Trenchard?
18:03Erm.
18:04Oh, yes.
18:06I'm going down to Epsom on Monday.
18:08Cousin has a horse riding, and I thought you and Lady Templemore might like to accompany me.
18:13I'll ask her, of course.
18:14But I'm afraid Mama is not fond of racing.
18:17Oh.
18:18What about you, Pope?
18:19You a man for the horses?
18:20Not too much.
18:21No.
18:22No, I suppose your head's too full of cotton.
18:25Eh.
18:27Well, it's time for us to leave you to a work.
18:30And we ladies have some business of our own.
18:33Hmm.
18:34Will you come shopping with us, John?
18:35Oh, I don't think so, Art.
18:37I have something I need to attend to.
18:39Oh, your mother's asked me to dine.
18:43How nice.
18:44Yes, I think it will be.
18:46Don't you, Mr. Pope?
18:47I can think of nothing nicer.
18:49Hmm.
18:51Hmm.
18:53Ladies.
18:54There it is.
18:54My date.
19:10So we're made in the hall downstairs.
19:12She won't say anything.
19:13Hmm.
19:27Getting quite fond of you.
19:29Which means you need a favour.
19:30That's true.
19:34I need you to find out more about Charles Pope.
19:37Oh.
19:38And you as well.
19:40Everyone is obsessed with that wretched man.
19:43He's driving Oliver mad.
19:45Well, Pope seems to have a hold over my aunt.
19:47When I called at his office, she was there with your mother-in-law and Mariah.
19:51Lady Mariah Gray?
19:52I have no need to be jealous.
19:55No.
19:57Aren't engagements affairs of the heart?
19:59Well, this one's an affair of state.
20:01So why did you call at Pope's office?
20:03Does he have a hold over you, too?
20:06I want to know why they've all chosen to favour him.
20:09Instead of you.
20:10I'm not joking.
20:15Can we have dinner?
20:17I could easily invent an excuse.
20:19Dining with my mother.
20:20Very dutiful.
20:25So, what is this favour?
20:32When they next go to their country place, I want you to go with them.
20:35Oh, to go to Glanville?
20:36Go to Glanville.
20:38But it takes forever to get there, and it's such a bore when you do.
20:42She knows something about Pope that she's not telling.
20:45Go for walks together.
20:47Sit up with her at night.
20:48Give her your time and attention.
20:53And you'll find out what it is.
20:56All right.
20:57If I must.
20:59But I may need some more persuading.
21:02Oh.
21:03That's all right.
21:12I'll do it.
21:18Let's go.
21:48Let's go.
22:02Turton, how was your journey?
22:09Long, madam.
22:10What have you brought with you?
22:11Just Morris, the footman man. The others have been taken on locally.
22:14Oh, Hooper, how nice to see you.
22:16Oh, dear, once you come inside, you must be tired.
22:18I just want to hear what's happened in the gardens while we've been away.
22:22Besides, Agnes needs a walk.
22:23Don't wear yourself out.
22:28It's good to be back.
22:30Is it?
22:31Why did you have to buy somewhere so far from London?
22:35Well, she fell in love with the house, and that's a good life here, even if you refuse to see it.
22:41What is there to do?
22:42Apart from eating like pigs and taking deadly walks for hours on end.
22:46Then why did you agree to come?
22:48I'm going in before I freeze to death.
22:51I hope Spear can manage downstairs with the yokels.
22:54Well, I've had to dress myself for the last three days, so don't look for sympathy from me.
23:04Gracious me, Miss Spear, we don't often see you here.
23:08It's true, Mrs Rust. I'm a creature more suited to London me.
23:14I'm Stan, Mr Turton. I've been taken on as second footman.
23:18Have you, by all that's holy?
23:19I'll do whatever you ask of me.
23:21If you are able to, Stanley, if it is within your powers, now go and sort the luggage.
23:27Miss Ellis, have you everything you want?
23:29I have very little that I want, Mr Turton, but that is the life I was born to.
23:33Here we go.
23:34There won't be a smile out of them for a fortnight.
23:37You will look after me by marrying John Bellicis.
23:42That is all I ask.
23:43I'm not sure how much I like him, or whether he likes me.
23:48Fiddle-faddle.
23:50A young couple must learn to like each other.
23:52I didn't know your father when I married him.
23:55How would I?
23:56When we were never allowed to meet unchaperoned before the engagement.
24:00Even then we might sit on a sofa, but never out of earshot of my companion.
24:05No young girl of our kind knows her husband before she marries him.
24:08And is your marriage to dear papa to be the model that encourages me to accept a future with John?
24:15But you have already accepted him.
24:17I know.
24:19Isn't it strange?
24:20Sometimes I try to remember the scene, but my memory has blotted it out entirely.
24:25Are you trying to say you've changed your mind?
24:29I suppose I would not be the first woman to do so.
24:32You won't throw away a great position.
24:34I won't let you.
24:35I think he's taken a bad fall this time.
24:51Has he said anything to you?
24:55No.
24:56Because he gambles.
24:58He can't stop.
24:59I've always known that.
25:01But before, he kept within certain limits.
25:04That's what's changed.
25:05He'll have everything under control, I promise you.
25:08There's nothing left to sell.
25:10A few bits of silver, but I've hidden those.
25:13Oh?
25:14Where?
25:15On top of the wardrobe in my room.
25:17Oh.
25:18But you mustn't tell him.
25:19I won't.
25:22You would tell me, wouldn't you, if you knew any more about it?
25:26Of course I would, Mother.
25:29I went for a walk before dinner.
25:32Have they done something with old Parker's farm since he died?
25:35I thought we should tidy it up a bit before we find a new tenant.
25:39You'll never guess who I saw in Piccadilly the other day.
25:43I won't try.
25:45Mr. Bellicis.
25:48Lord Brockenhurst's nephew?
25:50That's right.
25:51I was walking along with Spear on my way to my glove maker.
25:54He suddenly appeared.
25:56Fancy that.
25:57He said he'd seen you and his aunt at Mr. Pope's offices in the city.
26:02What?
26:03Oh.
26:05Have I said something I shouldn't?
26:06Of course not.
26:08Mr. Trenchard has taken an interest in this young man,
26:12and so when Lady Brockenhurst suggested we pay him a call,
26:15I agreed.
26:15I was curious.
26:17Not half so curious as I am.
26:20When my dear father takes twice the interest in Mr. Pope
26:22that he does in our own work at Cubitt Town.
26:25Mr. Pope's business plans are sensible.
26:27I expect to make money.
26:29I invest in many different areas, as you know.
26:31And do you take all the managers of these businesses out to lunch at your club?
26:34I like and admire Mr. Pope.
26:37I wish you could boast half his industry.
26:40Don't worry, father.
26:42I'm well aware Mr. Pope has all the virtues you find lacking in your own child.
26:46You look like an itinerant preacher at a country fair.
26:50I will not come up with this!
26:52I will not!
26:53I'll have my dinner brought up to my room.
26:55I'd rather not stay here and disappoint my father.
26:58Do as Mr. Oliver says.
27:11Please ask Mrs. Ross to make up a trade.
27:18I know you're awake.
27:22And if I am?
27:23Why did you visit Charles's office?
27:35Lady Brockenhurst was going and...
27:38I thought I'd better accompany her in case she said something inappropriate.
27:47I do wish Susan could enjoy Glanville.
27:50Well, I think Oliver does too, but you can only lead a horse to water.
27:57Oliver's spoiled.
27:59What's it all in a silver platter?
28:03Does he know where he comes from?
28:05My father working like a navvy in the markets.
28:09And he's slaving on building sites in every kind of weather.
28:12But that's what you come from, it's not what he comes from.
28:23Sophia would have understood.
28:24Apparently, you pick up the ball and run with it.
28:40Seems a scrappy, violent game.
28:42Not according to the great Dr. Arnold.
28:44They play nothing else at rugby these days.
28:47You should ask...
28:48Whom should I ask?
28:52I was going to say Charles Pope, but I don't want to get on to that subject again.
28:55He was at rugby under Dr. Arnold.
28:56How do you know?
28:58Your father told me.
28:59Where else did Mr. Pope conduct his studies?
29:02At Oxford.
29:03Lincoln College.
29:04After that?
29:06But it will only make you angry.
29:07Well, just tell me.
29:09I'm interested.
29:09It's going to rain.
29:13Shall we go in?
29:14Agnes hates the rain.
29:15Really?
29:16Old accents hate rain.
29:18What is Pope's hold over Papa?
29:20Your imagination's weaving wonders.
29:23And Lady Brockenhurst.
29:24Has he brought her around?
29:26What is the secret you're not telling me?
29:31Lady Brockenhurst is...
29:34her own woman.
29:36I do not like her much, but that I will say.
29:38Anyway, don't spoil things, Oliver.
29:42You seem so well when you're here.
29:44I'm almost sorry we have to take you back.
29:48You're right.
29:50I do feel well at Glanville.
29:53But I cannot separate from Susan, and she does not agree.
29:57She seems distracted.
29:59Why is that?
30:01She's bored, that's all.
30:04She's dying to get home to London.
30:08Thank heavens you're still here.
30:21I thought you would have given up and gone.
30:23It was much harder to escape Ryan than I thought.
30:25You've come alone.
30:26Of course.
30:28I can't trust Ryan.
30:29She reports every move I make.
30:31You're so lucky to have been born a man.
30:34I'm rather glad you weren't born a man.
30:37Perhaps.
30:38And I am proud of myself today.
30:39I lost my maid and hailed a cab for the first time in my life.
30:42But what good can come of it?
30:45At least for you.
30:47You've taken a great risk.
30:48Don't you admire people who take great risks, Mr. Poe?
30:51I would not admire a man who allowed his beloved to sacrifice her reputation.
30:56Because I'm engaged?
30:58Yes.
30:59You are engaged.
31:01But even if you weren't, I'm not the sort of man Lady Templemore would ever condone as a suitor for your hand.
31:05And are you a suitor for my hand?
31:10Lady Moriah, I would fight dragons.
31:14I would walk over flaming coals.
31:17I would enter the Valley of the Dead if I thought I might have a chance of winning your heart.
31:22Heavens.
31:24We seem to have covered quite a distance in a few short sentences.
31:29Please, call me Moriah.
31:31I can't.
31:32I have told you the truth because I believe you deserve the truth.
31:36But I do not think we have the power to make it happen.
31:40Even supposing you should want to.
31:42I do want to make it happen, Mr. Pope.
31:46Charles.
31:47Be easy in that.
31:52Isn't it your mother?
31:56Ryan must have gone home and told her I'd given her the slip.
31:58I suppose she heard where I directed the cab.
32:01You must go now.
32:02I can't leave you to take the blame.
32:03Why not?
32:04The blame is mine.
32:05And don't worry.
32:06She won't eat me.
32:07But now is not the right moment for you to be introduced as my lover.
32:11You know I'm right.
32:13So.
32:16Go.
32:17Go.
32:17Who is that man?
32:31He was lost.
32:33He needed to find the Queensgate.
32:34St. Paul wrote to St. Timothy.
32:49The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.
32:55Some people eager for money have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
33:07I leave you with that thought.
33:10Be neither envious nor greedy, but be content with the life the Lord has given.
33:15Work hard and you will sleep the sleep of the just.
33:24Taken it this and remembers the Christ died for the infeed on him and the heart by faith and with thanksgiving. Amen.
33:28Taken it this and remembers the Christ died for the infeed on him and the heart by faith and with thanksgiving. Amen.
33:31Taken it this and remembers the Christ died for the infeed on him and the heart by faith and with thanksgiving. Amen.
33:50How did you know I was giving the sermon?
33:53Little bird told me.
33:54Why did you?
33:56My wretched curate, Mr. Barnsley, is ill again.
34:00I should dismiss him.
34:01One service a year does not seem too exacting.
34:04Did you write it?
34:05No. Barnsley did.
34:07Next time you should read it beforehand.
34:10It'll make you look less foolish.
34:14We were wondering if there was another reason why you came down here to Hampshire.
34:19Meaning?
34:20You dare not show your face in London.
34:23If that were the reason, you were the cause of it.
34:29I've got something for you.
34:31What?
34:31It's not enough to pay them off, but it's enough to keep them quiet for a while.
34:38Let it not be said that the brother of the Earl of Brockenhurst cannot walk down Bond Street without fear of debtor's prison.
34:46You won't be sorry.
34:47I'm sorry.
34:48I'm sorry now.
34:50Mend your ways, Stephen.
34:53Mend your ways.
35:09By the way, Mum, I've torn some new rags for when you need them.
35:12It's not my time, is it?
35:16It is, madam.
35:18In fact, it was a few days ago.
35:19I'm surprised you haven't asked for them before now.
35:23But I can't be.
35:25I'm not able to be.
35:29Can you get Mr. Oliver to do the business?
35:33If so, I shouldn't waste any time.
35:36I doubt it.
35:39Not in his present mood.
35:40Surely I can't be.
35:47Then if you can't be, you ought to be.
35:49I hope Spear enjoys it here a little more than you do, my dear.
36:01What part of Ireland is she from?
36:03Belfast, I'm afraid.
36:04She's a city girl like me.
36:06I wish I could open your eyes.
36:07You could have such wonderful times.
36:09What would I do about Spear?
36:11You can always get another maid.
36:13She'll never find another house like Glanville.
36:16How is Oliver?
36:16I haven't seen him.
36:19I hope we don't have another evening ahead of his raging against Mr. Pope.
36:22He's jealous.
36:24It must be hard when your father prefers to do business with a stranger rather than his own son.
36:29It's not about business and he isn't a straight...
36:32James was fond of Mr. Pope's father.
36:37Of course.
36:42Mariah, will you play for us?
36:45We have deprived John of his port, so he deserves some consolation.
36:50Rest easy on that score.
36:51I'd always rather join the ladies.
36:54If you will excuse me, I want to thank Mrs. Shaw for our dinner.
36:57Oh.
37:00Mariah, perhaps you'd like to play?
37:02Your mother has contrived that we should be, um, left to our own devices.
37:24You don't seem very anxious to be alone with me.
37:37I might say the same.
37:38I'll tell you, my uncle is very pleased by the news of our engagement.
37:56That's kind of him.
37:57Yes.
37:58He prefers that I choose birth over fortune.
38:04And are you pleased, John?
38:05That is what I cannot fathom.
38:10Well, my parents are glad and so is your mother and...
38:13Oh, we must all marry someone, I suppose.
38:16I see.
38:17Oh, I dare say we'll do well enough, why shouldn't we?
38:20We want the same things.
38:22Such as?
38:25Well, a proper place in society, where we may do as we like.
38:30You need to have no fear about that.
38:32When my uncle dies, we will be king and queen of all we survey.
38:38Princess Theodora of Leiningham, she was called.
38:45The queen's half-sister by her mother's first marriage.
38:48Now, they pushed her into the arms of a German princely in the end.
38:51And that was Sir John Conroy's doing.
38:53He wanted her out of the way.
38:54When, if they'd only waited, she could have been the queen herself.
38:57You talk about them as if you knew the Miss Alice,
38:59as if they were, well, like you were me.
39:02And so they are Stanley.
39:04Just like you and me, and don't you ever think any different.
39:06Now, that's fighting talk, Miss Alice.
39:09I'm ready for a fight, Mrs Rust.
39:11If you're asking me to say I'm not as good as anyone upstairs,
39:13or in the palace, for that matter.
39:15You'll worry the young ones if you're not careful.
39:17I'm not worried.
39:19I'm inspired.
39:20That's what I was afraid of.
39:26Mr Turt.
39:36I suppose we should let Mr Bellis just know when we get back to London.
39:41Well, have you got something for him?
39:44Not yet.
39:45I want to be sure he'll pay enough before I take any big risks.
39:48Well, I wouldn't worry too much.
39:50They'd never let us go.
39:51They wouldn't manage without us.
39:53Well, she couldn't manage without me.
39:54We have history.
39:55And I'm too valuable.
39:56Well, that's not what the mistress was saying to Mrs Oliver
40:00as they walked along the hallway earlier.
40:01What did she say?
40:04You can always find another maid.
40:06Those were her words.
40:08So what is your value now, Miss Alice?
40:18So, how was it?
40:21Draining?
40:22As draining as death.
40:23So, tell me what you learned.
40:28Well, you're right.
40:30Charles Pope is very important to Mr Trenchard.
40:33Yes, I know that.
40:34I want to know why.
40:35He talks about Mr Pope's business, which infuriates Oliver.
40:38Ah.
40:39But then my mother-in-law said...
40:42What?
40:46She wasn't thinking, and she let it slip that it's not about business.
40:49And Mr Pope is not a stranger.
40:52Make of that what you will.
40:53Hmm.
40:55Why does Lady Bockenhurst fit into all this?
41:01What's the matter?
41:04You look preoccupied.
41:06Do I?
41:08It's nothing.
41:12You know, this would be very serious for me, sir, if it came out.
41:15Well, they won't hang you.
41:16They've abolished the bloody code, right, haven't you heard?
41:18They won't hang me, no, but they will put me in prison.
41:21Petty treason by a servant against their master.
41:24Still a serious crime.
41:26Hmm.
41:27I'd have to borrow his keys if I want to get into his private desk.
41:30Have you searched his office?
41:32The answer won't be there.
41:33They may work together, but the secret lies in the history of them both.
41:39I know it.
41:41So has the letters he's kept.
41:42Look, for any mention of the names Charles or Pope, no matter how old, the older the better.
41:46Well, it'll cost you.
41:48I know.
41:49Twenty pounds at least.
41:52That's a bit steep.
41:53It's the price.
41:55Can you get it?
41:57Because I'm not breaking the law for pennies.
41:59Yes, I can get it.
42:00I can get it.
42:01Come on.
42:02You got it.
42:03I know.
42:03I told you.
42:04Ah, Mother not here?
42:32She's at a committee meeting.
42:33No.
42:35How was Limington?
42:37Thought you were going to stay for longer.
42:38Oh, it was bloody.
42:40Barnsley was ill.
42:41I had to take the service on Sunday.
42:43And give the sermon.
42:45I'd pay to see that.
42:47Your uncle and aunt were there, making the most of my humiliation.
42:50And they still won't give you a penny towards the debt?
42:54Have you got Schmidt off your back?
42:56Yes, in the end, Captain Black lent me the money.
42:59He wants it back.
43:00What do you think would happen?
43:02Oh, I could just have some luck.
43:05One good hand is all I need.
43:07You are incorrigible.
43:09Do you think I should try the lenders again?
43:11No, you're a bad bet and they won't take it.
43:13It's time we approached Aunt Caroline.
43:17Do you think so?
43:18No, you surprised me.
43:19I thought you'd given up on her.
43:21Well, we'll see.
43:22Have a man on the case, as they say.
43:24You mean you're still looking into Mr. Pope?
43:26I am.
43:27And I may have solved Trenchard's role in the story, but...
43:30Not Aunt Caroline's.
43:32If Peregrine would only pay up, we wouldn't be in this situation.
43:35If you hadn't gambled with money you do not have, my dear father,
43:38we wouldn't be in this situation in any way.
43:40We're not in any situation.
43:41You are in the situation.
43:43You have to help me.
43:49John, how lovely.
43:51We've hardly seen anything of you this summer.
43:55Will you stay for luncheon?
43:56Oh, no, I don't think I can.
44:00Oh, how was your meeting?
44:02Mmm, disheartening.
44:04We spent most of the morning talking about Black Monday.
44:07What's that?
44:08The day the rent is due.
44:10Mmm.
44:13I was wondering if you have any news.
44:18What sort of news?
44:19Well, not to put too fine a point on it,
44:21we don't understand the delay in announcing the engagement.
44:25Well, I don't know anything about that.
44:26You should ask Lady Temple more.
44:31Are you going so soon?
44:32Yes, I pray so.
44:33I just need to fetch some clothes from upstairs, but...
44:35Yes, then I must be off.
44:37Do you need a suitcase?
44:38Er, no, no. No, I have one up there.
44:43No.
44:44No.
44:45You're being ridiculous.
45:14The thing is settled.
45:16You are ridiculous to pretend that I will marry John Bellicis when you know very well I will not.
45:22I hope you're not suggesting you've met someone else.
45:24Someone who is not known to me.
45:26Whom you prefer.
45:27I'm just saying that I won't marry John Bellicis.
45:29That is enough for now.
45:31How dare you disobey me.
45:34I won't let you throw away your chance.
45:37I'd be a bad mother if I allowed it.
45:39And how will you stop me?
45:40You'll find out.
45:44Thank you, Mama.
45:54And you can watch more ITV period drama with all six series and every special of Downton Abbey streaming now on BritBox.
46:11And tomorrow night all will finally be revealed.
46:14I promise.
