Short filmTranscript
00:00Before she died, my daughter Sophia was delivered of a boy, the son of Lord Bellicis.
00:05Where is he now, this boy?
00:07The boy is a man. He now goes under the name of Charles Pope.
00:10Will you keep our secret?
00:12Why would I publicize my late son's degradation?
00:14Stephen and Grace will be here for dinner.
00:16They'll be wanting money.
00:18Why should I marry Mariah Gray?
00:19It's a good match for her.
00:20She's marrying the future Earl of Bruckenhurst.
00:23That man we were talking about the other day, Charles Pope, the very one.
00:27May I present a new acquaintance?
00:30Mr. Pope.
00:31Good evening to both of you.
00:32Say good evening to John, dear.
00:34You're just the sort of man to make me say all manner of things.
00:37I'm a very ordinary sort of fellow.
00:39Well, Lady Bruckenhurst doesn't seem to think so.
00:42You want them to guess.
00:44You want them to guess he's Edmund's child and you wanted us to witness it.
01:00That man, it's true.
01:07I don't want them to guess, dear.
01:52Oh, I thought you got to bed.
02:05What a terrible evening.
02:07It was fun. You can hardly complain about the other guests.
02:11The evening was damnable, and you made it more so, staring into the eyes of that scented degenerate.
02:16You may go, Spear. I'll ring for you in a while.
02:22Now, what is this about?
02:29Who is this man, Pope? Where's he come from?
02:32And why is Father investing in his business?
02:34When did he ever invest in my business?
02:35You don't have a business.
02:37Then when did he ever invest in me?
02:39And why was Lady Brockenhurst guiding him around the room like a show pony?
02:43How did he manage that, when she barely spoke a civil word to either of us all evening?
02:49My poor darling.
02:52What relation is Mr Bellicis to our host of this evening?
02:55His father, the Reverend Mr Bellicis, is Lord Brockenhurst's younger brother.
02:59He's also his heir, although it will be his son, John, who inherits, since the old boy is considerably healthier than his younger sibling.
03:11John Bellicis will be the next...
03:12The next Earl of Brockenhurst.
03:14The present Earl's only son died at Waterloo.
03:18There's no one else.
03:22Did you enjoy yourself?
03:24Yes.
03:26Although, I am sorry to learn that John is not a traveller.
03:29Nonsense.
03:30He likes to travel in Europe, but he's not in the blazing sun of the tropics.
03:35Who can blame him?
03:36I should say the same.
03:38I suppose.
03:39You and John are well suited.
03:41I know you would not say so if you did not believe it to be true.
03:46Good night, Mama.
03:51But why was Mr Oliver so angry?
03:53Mr Oliver can always find a reason to be angry.
03:57So it wasn't because of the gentleman you liked?
04:00Mr Bellicis?
04:02No, it wasn't that.
04:05But you did like him.
04:08Why?
04:11I just wondered if you planned to see him again.
04:16Good night, Spear.
04:17It sounded as if everyone was having a wonderful time, Your Ladyship.
04:32I think it did go well.
04:34Isn't it bliss when they've gone?
04:36There are only so many times one can inquire after someone's health or delight in the news of the Queen's pregnancy.
04:48Who was that chap in the cotton trade?
04:52What was he doing here?
04:54You mean Mr Pope?
04:56Pope.
04:57Is that the name?
04:59Yes, I thought he was a nice fellow.
05:01He was more amusing than those women you stuck me with over supper.
05:05But why was he in our drawing room?
05:07Because I like him.
05:08How do you know him?
05:11Thank you, Dawson.
05:13Yes, ma'am.
05:17Mariah Gray has grown up to be a pretty girl.
05:20She used to be so serious, always with her head in a book.
05:23Now she looks quite charming.
05:25Lucky John.
05:26I hope he deserves her.
05:28They had new dresses on tonight.
05:30Mother and daughter.
05:31They knew John would be there.
05:33Doesn't do to look impoverished.
05:35Certainly not in front of one's intended.
05:38Edmund would be 48 now.
05:47I suppose he would be.
05:54Anyway.
05:57I'd better turn in.
05:59Busy day tomorrow.
06:06Good night, my dear.
06:08Charles must know.
06:26He does not.
06:28She placed him to her right at dinner.
06:30Everyone noticed.
06:31She might as well publish it in the Times.
06:36She wanted to put him at his ease.
06:38She wanted to draw attention to him.
06:40And why else would she do that if she didn't want it to get out?
06:46How long have you been in contact with Charles?
06:52You really think she hasn't told him?
06:54People like him do not get invited to intimate suppers in Belgrave Square
06:58to tear a pheasant with the peerage.
07:00My dear.
07:01Admit it.
07:03People like Charles Pope do not sit next to the Countess of Brockenhurst at dinner.
07:07In the ordinary way of things, she wouldn't give him the time of day.
07:10If you think I'm going to listen to one word of reproof,
07:13you have another thing coming.
07:16You're as much to blame as I am.
07:17Me?
07:18What have I done?
07:23You have been in contact with our grandson.
07:26You know him.
07:28You're even working with him.
07:30But you never saw fit to tell me.
07:32Anne, be reasonable.
07:34I gave that baby boy away
07:35because you were afraid it might mean
07:37fewer invitations to dinner
07:39if we brought him up.
07:41And now you deceive me in this hateful
07:43and hurtful way.
07:48Lady Brockenhurst's ignorance
07:49was no excuse for the cruelty
07:51of keeping the secret.
07:53It was time she knew
07:55she had to know.
07:57Now go back to your own room
07:59and let me sleep.
08:00And sentimentality will bring the roof down on us all.
08:14When Sophia is spoken of as a fallen woman,
08:19when doors we have worked so hard to open
08:21are slammed against us,
08:23then you will only have yourself to blame.
08:25And now,
08:37when Sophia is profured,
08:39that is,
08:39then you will need to no-
08:47you can't be cold at you.
08:48And you'll notice
08:49that is true that is true,
08:51you can't be cold at me,
08:52butleri and todoist
08:53We must invite them back.
09:09Who?
09:10Lord and Lady Brockenhurst, of course.
09:12Don't be silly.
09:14Why is that silly?
09:15Haven't we been entertained by them?
09:16Isn't it only polite to ask them back?
09:18They wouldn't come.
09:21Father left early.
09:23He was gone by the time I came down.
09:26He has a busy morning, preparing for tomorrow's meeting with Mr Cubitt.
09:30He intends to talk about Oliver, see what he can do for him.
09:33What indeed.
09:37One for you, Mrs Oliver.
09:47Whom is it from?
09:48An old school friend who's in London for a few days.
09:51She's going to an exhibition at the National Gallery tomorrow.
09:55She'd like us to meet there.
09:56How nice.
09:58Should I accompany you?
10:00No, he mustn't be a burden.
10:01What could be more boring than the gossip of a stranger?
10:05I'll take Spear.
10:14Mind if I join you, Miss Ellis?
10:15Only I've got to mend this before she gets dressed this evening.
10:18I was interested in what you were saying the other day about making the right choices and paying for the wrong ones.
10:30I'm not sure how much choice we have in the usual way of things.
10:35We're at the bottom and they're at the top.
10:37But you like the mistress, don't you?
10:39I work for her, that's all.
10:40Perhaps you don't like being in service.
10:43There's no perhaps about it.
10:45Why should I?
10:47Grovelling and lying and pretending I'm glad to be a dog's body.
10:50What's to like about that?
10:52Why don't you try something else then?
10:54What might that be, Miss Spear?
10:56Nursing?
10:57In some blood-soaked hospital, thick with the smell of disease?
11:01They've got us women stitched up in no mistake, whichever way you look at it.
11:06Well, I mean to hedge my bets.
11:09How will you do that?
11:10There's a situation, and if it comes off, there may be benefits for me.
11:14And what might that be?
11:16That's too early to tell.
11:20What an unexpected pleasure.
11:47I was about to head off to White's.
11:49Oh, then, I'm glad to have caught you.
11:54What have you done to your face?
11:56A window broke as I was passing.
12:00Did you break the window?
12:03No.
12:06Three queens.
12:11I might fold.
12:12You can't. You're my partner.
12:14We're about to have a winning streak.
12:16Winning streak.
12:17Would you recognise one if you saw it?
12:19I'm sorry, Bella, sis.
12:20I really must go.
12:21If you're off, Barton, I may as well make tracks.
12:24Black, you must give a chap a chance to win some of his money back.
12:29Black, just one more round.
12:31That's all I ask.
12:32So, your lordship.
12:41I am not a lord.
12:41My brother is a lord.
12:42I am not.
12:44Then you may need to talk to your brother.
12:45So, to what do I owe this honour?
12:56It seems I'm in a spot of bother.
12:59How much bother?
12:59A thousand pounds worth of bother.
13:03A thousand pounds?
13:05A thousand pounds.
13:06Is it really?
13:08It really is.
13:10Now, we are both gentlemen.
13:13And I am also a pleasant fellow.
13:15And a reasonable one.
13:17You have two days to get the money.
13:25I wouldn't normally ask.
13:29But the thing is, you do normally ask.
13:32In fact, you ask habitually.
13:34I can't remember the last time you came to my house without asking.
13:37The answer is no.
13:42Two days!
13:44My God.
13:44My God.
13:45My God.
13:47My God.
13:51What do you mean, no?
13:52No.
13:54I won't give it to you.
13:55Is that clear enough?
13:56Not this time.
13:58But you have to.
13:59I'm your brother.
14:00And I need it.
14:01I must have it.
14:02You should have thought of that before you gambled it away.
14:05You played with money that you did not own.
14:07And this is the result.
14:09I didn't gamble it.
14:10That's not what happened at all.
14:12You both know that that's a lie.
14:14How dare you accuse me of lying?
14:15I'm a man of the cloth.
14:17I will not pay any more of your debts.
14:20You have a decent income from your inheritance and the church, as far as I can tell.
14:24And your wife gives you additional funds.
14:27You simply must learn to live within your means.
14:29How dare you?
14:31Who do you think you are?
14:33Just because you're two years older than me, you take it all.
14:35The title, the estates, all the money.
14:37No, not all the money.
14:38Do you ever think how unfair it is?
14:41It isn't fair.
14:43But it is the system that we were born into.
14:47Well, what dead John will inherit?
14:49My son, not yours.
14:50And he will have everything.
14:52And when he does, let me remind you, by definition, you will be dead.
14:57And he will no longer have to fund his father's vices.
15:00And good day to you, brother.
15:06And good day to you, brother.
15:06And good day to you, brother.
15:10Oh, my goodness.
15:40Stephen! You nearly gave me a heart attack. What on earth were you doing down there?
15:45Nothing.
15:47Do you remember Mr Pope, who was here the other evening?
15:50Yes, very well.
15:53And now he's come back for some tea.
15:55He has. He's been telling me all about his plans.
15:58He has a cotton mill in Manchester.
16:00Are you interested in Mancunian cotton mills?
16:03Lady Brockenhurst has been very encouraging.
16:06Has she? Indeed.
16:07Yes, and I've delayed him quite long enough.
16:14Thank you for my tea. You're very kind.
16:17Nonsense. I so enjoyed our conversation, Mr Pope.
16:21I will write to you at once.
16:23Thank you for that, whatever decision you make on it.
16:25Someone's looking terribly pleased with themselves.
16:53Lady Mariah Gray, if I'm not mistaken.
16:57The very one. And you are Mr Pope.
17:01How do you know my rank?
17:03I asked our hostess about you.
17:05Goodness. Should I be flattered by your curiosity?
17:09And why may I inquire, are you so full of the joys of spring?
17:13Because I'm optimistic about my business, but I'm afraid you'd find it very dull.
17:16You don't know that. Why don't men always presume that women are only interested in gossip or fashion?
17:23I meant no offence. I simply didn't think the financing of a cotton supply would be very diverting.
17:27I'll be the judge of that, Mr Pope.
17:29So, you tell me about your mill and your cotton, and if I find the subject tiresome,
17:33I shall stifle a yawn behind my hand, so then you'll realise that you've failed.
17:38I will endeavour to meet the challenge.
17:40Are you on your way somewhere?
17:41The New London Library. I think I might join.
17:44Mr Carlisle is a friend of Mama's, and he waxes lyrical over its merits,
17:48which, according to him, are vastly superior to those of the Library at the British Museum,
17:53though I find that hard to believe.
17:56Ryan is my mother's maid. She is accompanying me.
18:01She thinks Mama would disapprove of our being seen together.
18:04Will she?
18:05Probably.
18:05Where are you headed?
18:08I was on the way to my office. I want to look in before I go home.
18:11And where is that?
18:12Bishop's Gate, in the city.
18:14Then we'll walk with you now.
18:16The library is at 49 Pell Mill, so we won't take you out of your way.
18:19And on the way, you can explain your business to me,
18:22but please, be as amusing as possible.
18:32Who was that?
18:34The Duchess of Bedford.
18:36So I might have greeted her, too, if you'd only taken me there.
18:40Well, you've been received by Lady Brockenhurst now, so it's not all downhill.
18:47What are you doing this afternoon?
18:48Nothing much. I have a dress fitting at three.
18:50Can I have the carriage?
18:52Of course. There's no need to ask.
18:54It's hard to fill your days when you have nothing to fill them with.
18:57That's very philosophical.
18:59I'm not a complete dunderhead, whatever your opinion of me.
19:03How would you like to fill your days?
19:05With my children and my position in society.
19:07But since I have neither, I have to go to fittings and embroider
19:10and put clothes in the missionary barrel and try to be content.
19:16I do not talk about your lack of a child,
19:18because I do not believe you want me to, but if there's anything...
19:21Please.
19:22I've seen everyone. I've tried everything.
19:25There will be no children.
19:26There will be no children.
19:52James!
19:53Good to see you.
19:54Mr. Cuban.
19:56William, this is very good of you.
19:58Did you see the new Reform Club on your way here?
20:00Isn't it beautiful?
20:01He's a very clever chap, that Mr. Barry.
20:03I'm not sure about the politics of the place.
20:06Full of liberals, all of them bent on making trouble.
20:08But it's fine work, nonetheless.
20:11Are you a member of this place yet?
20:13I put you up for it ages ago.
20:14I'm not sure how my application's doing.
20:17There's quite a list, I'm told.
20:19And the sons of old members leapfrog over the newcomers.
20:23No, that'll be all right.
20:24Two glasses of Madeira, please.
20:25I wonder.
20:26I'm just a businessman with no background whatever.
20:29Thomas and I are hardly Plantagenets.
20:31No, you are great and public figures.
20:33I am not.
20:34They'd be lucky to get you.
20:35I don't see it in that light.
20:39Let's talk about Cubit Town.
20:41How much do you know?
20:42We'll expand the docks, create local businesses and build houses for those working nearby.
20:47Exactly.
20:48There's pottery, cement, brick production.
20:50Dirty stuff, but it has to be made.
20:52With homes for clerks and bookkeepers, too.
20:55And hopefully we can persuade some managers to settle there.
20:58In short, we want to reinvent the place.
21:00Rebuild it as a whole community.
21:02Could there be an opening for Oliver?
21:06It's just the sort of thing he'd love to be part of.
21:09Oliver?
21:10My son.
21:12Oh, that Oliver.
21:13I've never thought him very taken with the business.
21:17I don't object to his working for us, but the demands of a project like this might be rather more than he'd be willing to undertake.
21:24Oliver would be very keen to be involved.
21:26I mean, he's tremendously interested.
21:28Yet he's never asked a single question about the development of Bloomsbury or Belgravia, or any of our other contracts.
21:35Sometimes he's not good at, um, expressing himself.
21:41I see.
21:43Now we must part.
21:49You go that way and I go this.
21:50Very well.
21:51But you win.
21:53I do not have to stifle a single yaw.
21:55You better hurry, or the library will be closed when you get there.
21:58I should love to come and visit your offices one day.
22:01If your mama didn't think we should walk together, I doubt she'd find a visit to Bishopsgate quite...
22:05Nonsense.
22:06You say Lady Brockenhurst may pay you another visit.
22:08Why shouldn't I come with her and see it for myself?
22:11You know her well, then?
22:11Well, I'm engaged to her nephew.
22:15Ah.
22:20That is, she and I could come together?
22:23Nothing would give me more pleasure.
22:25Now I should be on my way.
22:26Polishing your skills, Miss B.
22:44I don't need to polish them, thank you, Morris.
22:46They're bright enough.
22:47Who's in for luncheon?
22:49I have to go lay the table.
22:50Just the mistress and Mrs Oliver, I think.
22:53The great ladies have lunch laid for 20 every day.
22:56Then whoever drops in during the morning is invited to stay and eat with them.
22:59No one drops in here, I'm sad to say.
23:01No.
23:02What's Mrs Oliver up to?
23:05She's gone for a drive with the mistress and then she has a dress fitting this afternoon.
23:09Hasn't she got enough clothes?
23:11Maybe.
23:12But she doesn't have the invitations to go with them.
23:15What's this?
23:15Just saying Mrs Oliver would like to get out more.
23:18Then she would be advised to lower her sights a little.
23:21I don't see that.
23:22Her dad's as rich as Mr Trenchard, or nearly.
23:25Money is not the sole criterion, Miss Spear.
23:28Not in the society she aspires to.
23:30She went to Brock and Hurst's house, Mr Turpin.
23:32You can't ask for more than that.
23:34We will have to wait and see if the invitation is repeated.
23:37She gets little enough help from the mistress.
23:39Mrs Trenchard has more sense.
23:41She knows where she's not wanted.
23:43I don't agree if you'll pardon me, Mr Turpin.
23:45I'd say she goes where she likes and she doesn't care what people think.
23:48I admire her for it.
23:49Then I suggest you take your admiration up to the dining room, Morris,
23:52and lay the table.
23:53Yes, Mr Turpin.
23:57Emma says she's well.
24:01My goodness, what happened?
24:03Nothing, nothing.
24:04A window broke when I was standing near it.
24:09Does this have something to do with how you spent yesterday evening?
24:14It wasn't one of my best.
24:16You know, we have nothing left to sell except this house.
24:21If you keep going as you are, we won't have enough to pay the servants.
24:25Oh, you're being ridiculous.
24:26I mean it.
24:27We pay them little enough as it is.
24:29Don't worry, I'll sort it out.
24:31Sort your face out first.
24:33Where will he be?
24:48Near the Round Pond.
24:50But what if I see someone I know?
24:52What, to be more innocent than a chance meeting in Kensington Gardens?
24:56Of course I'm taking a chance on you, Spir.
24:58You'll have enough to hang me by the end of it.
25:00You can trust me, Mrs Oliver.
25:01I do.
25:03I may be a fool, but I do.
25:07There he is.
25:10The handsome man with the stick?
25:12That's him.
25:14He looks very confident.
25:16Oh, he's quite in charge.
25:18He thinks he's here to seduce me, so I'll have to make him work for it.
25:22He'll be disappointed if it's too easy.
25:25Oh, madam, you are a coward.
25:26I wasn't sure you'd come.
25:42Nor was I.
25:44Do you mind if I sit down?
25:47No, please.
25:48I'm worn out from the dust and bustle of London.
25:52They seem to be building everywhere.
25:54Yes.
25:54I was in Trafalgar Square this morning.
25:57Nelson's column's taking its time.
26:00Yes.
26:01I keep some rooms in Isleworth for just that reason.
26:06Get away from all the noise and the traffic.
26:09Isleworth?
26:09Mm.
26:10There's only a dining room and a bedroom with a servant of run thing, but...
26:13I can escape the city when I want.
26:16Breathe clean, fresh air.
26:18Huh.
26:19How heavenly that sounds.
26:21It's quite a secret.
26:24I've never been to Isleworth, but isn't it where people keep orchards and grow vegetables for their tables?
26:31Yes, I believe so.
26:34The air must be wonderful.
26:38I must make a pilgrimage and see it for myself.
26:40Well, I hope you'll let me show you my hiding place when you do.
26:46I don't think I could bear to miss it.
26:49Perhaps you could suggest a day that would suit you.
26:52Perhaps I will.
26:57Shouldn't you be in the office?
27:00I've done enough for one day.
27:04May I have the carriage tomorrow? I'll need it for most of the day.
27:09Or I can hire one.
27:10No need.
27:12Why do you want it?
27:13I have an idea of going out to Isleworth.
27:15There are some kitchen gardens and orchards for sale that I'd like to see.
27:18Why would you care?
27:20Oh, I thought it might be something I'd enjoy.
27:23I'd accompany if I could.
27:25Don't worry. I'll take Spear.
27:27And am I expected to buy one of these kitchen gardens or orchards?
27:31Well, my father might.
27:32I could ask him if you don't care for the idea.
27:35Well, my dear father-in-law can certainly afford it.
27:38Um, would you like me to come with you?
27:41I should love it.
27:43There are three for us to see before luncheon.
27:45And I have four to visit afterwards.
27:49Then you will go alone.
27:50I'm tired out by the very idea of it.
27:52Don't ask about my face.
28:08And a good day to you too, father.
28:10He said no.
28:11Who?
28:15Your uncle, of course.
28:16What am I to do?
28:17I only have two days left.
28:18Or rather, one day now.
28:20How much do you ask for?
28:21£1,000.
28:22I owe Schmidt.
28:24Schmidt?
28:27Oof.
28:28Then you'd better pay him.
28:29I know.
28:31You can't think of anyone who could help me.
28:34Go to a bank.
28:35They know the family has money.
28:35It'll come to you and then me.
28:37Can you borrow against that?
28:38Try before they think my brother's too healthy
28:41and the wait will be too long.
28:42Hmm.
28:44Well, I do know a Polish chap,
28:45Emil Tomaszewski, in the East End.
28:48He gave you the money in time.
28:50How much does he charge?
28:5150%?
28:5250?
28:52That's a bit steep.
28:53Yeah, well, that's the going rate in emergencies.
28:55They have you over a barrel.
28:56Is there really nothing left to sell?
28:59Hmm.
29:00Only Harley Street.
29:01And that's mortgaged to the hillside.
29:03I doubt we'd walk away with a penny piece.
29:07Well, then you must convince the bank
29:09or visit the Pole.
29:11Do you know who I saw today?
29:12At your uncle's house.
29:14Charles Pope.
29:16Trenchard's protégé.
29:17Is he there again?
29:18He and your aunt were having tea
29:19in her private sitting room.
29:21Hmm.
29:21I called them as he came out.
29:23Something's going on.
29:24Hmm.
29:25I think she means to invest in his business.
29:27What?
29:29Aunt Caroline, why?
29:30Exactly why?
29:32Do we know anything about him?
29:35No.
29:35I don't like the hold he has of Lady Brockenhurst.
29:38She's making a fool of herself.
29:40How can we find out more about him?
29:43Well, as it happens, I'm quite friendly
29:44with the younger Mrs Trenchard.
29:46She told me her father-in-law
29:48was known Pope for a while.
29:50How friendly.
29:51Well, bumped into her in Kensington Gardens
29:53and we talked.
29:55Indeed.
29:56Do you want my help or not?
29:59Talk to one of their servants.
30:01They know more than anyone.
30:02Yeah, it's not a bad idea.
30:03Mrs Trenchard's maid was with her when we met.
30:06I'll speak to her.
30:08There must be some history
30:09between Charles Pope and Caroline.
30:12If we find it out,
30:15maybe we should pay
30:15to keep the information secret.
30:18You mean we should blackmail her?
30:20Certainly I do.
30:21And you could start us off
30:22by finding out the secrets of the Trenchards.
30:25Hmm.
30:29Excuse me.
30:30Are you delivering for Mrs Trenchard?
30:31For Mrs Babbage?
30:33But yes.
30:34You give this to Mrs Spears,
30:35one of the maids.
30:36Why don't you give it yourself?
30:46Turton.
30:47The butler.
30:48Hmm.
30:49What makes you think he'd listen to me?
30:51He likes money, sir.
30:52And do you want to talk to Miss Ellis,
30:54the mistress's maid?
30:56She's been with the family longer than anyone.
30:58Oh.
30:58And she also likes money.
31:00I'd say so, sir.
31:01And how would I meet these two?
31:04You'll find Mr Turton
31:05in the Horton Groom pub
31:06in Groom Place,
31:07just off Belgrave Square.
31:09Hmm.
31:10He's there most days,
31:11before luncheon at noon
31:12and before dinner at six.
31:15Hmm.
31:15Thank you, Miss Bear.
31:18You have been very helpful.
31:23Now I must hurry.
31:25I have to dress Mrs Oliver for dinner.
31:27And we should plan what she's wearing tomorrow
31:29for her trip to Isleworth.
31:33Oh, I'd be very grateful
31:39if you said nothing to your mistress about this.
31:41I'm a servant, sir.
31:43We don't tell anything they don't need to know.
31:52Who's going with us to Glanville?
31:53Supposed to be dressing Mr Oliver
31:55as well as the master.
31:56Morris here is coming as first footman.
31:59He'd do it,
31:59but I don't believe Mr and Mrs Oliver will go.
32:02Don't you?
32:03I hope not.
32:04Mrs Oliver hates to travel.
32:06Doesn't see the point of it.
32:07Not when all this waiting
32:08is a draft to your house and a boredom.
32:10I'm glad we're going to Glanville.
32:11I enjoy myself when I'm there.
32:13Yeah, of course you do.
32:14You sit there talking to the local boobies
32:16about the new shops
32:17that have opened in Bond Street
32:19and the new fashions.
32:20What the Duchess of this
32:21said to the Countess of that.
32:23Do you think you got the ear of the Queen herself?
32:25She could do worse than listen to me.
32:28What are you talking about?
32:31Miss Ellis has been regaling us
32:32with the delights of a stay at Glanville.
32:34Don't remind me.
32:36Three days of torture being shaken to the core
32:38followed by four weeks of tedium
32:39in a muddy desert.
32:41You've got that in common with Mrs Oliver?
32:43I have nothing in common with Mrs Oliver.
32:51Mr Pope is outside, sir.
32:53Asking for the honour of an interview.
32:55Then bring him in.
32:58I hope I don't disturb you, Mr Trenchard,
33:00but I have some news.
33:01Of course not.
33:01Won't you sit down?
33:02I won't, if you don't mind.
33:05I'm too excited.
33:06Lady Brockenhurst has written.
33:08I saw her yesterday
33:09and her letter arrived this morning
33:10at the office.
33:11And it brought good news?
33:12The best of news.
33:13I believe I have all the money I need.
33:14Nobody has all the money they need.
33:17With your help and hers,
33:18it means I can pay off the mortgage,
33:20buy new loons and retool the factory.
33:22I can plan my visit to India,
33:23appoint an agent out there
33:24and then sit back and watch
33:24as our production grows.
33:26Not that I will sit back,
33:27of course.
33:28And you still have no clue
33:29as to the reason for her interest.
33:33She likes me.
33:35I can see that.
33:37But she's never explained
33:38how she came to hear of me
33:39in the first place.
33:42Well, well.
33:43One mustn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
33:45Is that good news too, sir?
33:50I'm a member of the Athenaeum.
33:52They've allowed me to join.
33:54I wonder if Mr. Cubitt nudged them
33:56to overcome their distaste.
33:58Nonsense.
33:59Let's test the membership.
34:00We will make them give us some lunch.
34:02Excuse me.
34:19May I help you, sir?
34:20My name is Trenchard.
34:21I'm a new member here.
34:27Yes, Mr. Trenchard.
34:29Welcome to the club.
34:30Will you be taking luncheon with us today?
34:33Absolutely.
34:33With Mr. Cubitt, sir?
34:35Mr. Cubitt, no.
34:37It is customary for a new member's
34:39first luncheon to be with the person
34:40who proposed them, sir.
34:42Oh.
34:43Is it a rule?
34:44Not a rule, sir, no.
34:46Just a custom.
34:47Well, it is a custom
34:48we must set aside for today.
34:49I am here with my...
34:50with my guest,
34:52Mr. Pope.
34:55Very good, sir.
34:56To the health of your new venture.
35:04I have, uh...
35:05I've made a few calculations
35:08which I'd like to show you.
35:09Hmm.
35:14I see a lot of myself in you.
35:17I praise, Mr. Trenchard.
35:19I don't know what I've done
35:21to deserve it.
35:23Excuse me.
35:23I'm very sorry, Mr. Trenchard,
35:25but business papers are not allowed
35:27in any part of the building.
35:28And that is a rule, I'm afraid.
35:31Of course.
35:34Thank you, sir.
35:38Does he remind you of Robespierre?
35:40They're very officious, I must say.
35:43They should be proud of any member
35:45with business papers to show.
35:46Should I be worried
36:03that you keep a secret house
36:04in Middlesex
36:05with a grand bedroom
36:06and a silent servant?
36:08Would you rather ruin my set in Albany?
36:12You should probably get dressed.
36:14I'm dining in town
36:15rather than you should be home
36:15in time to change.
36:24Might give my horse a rest.
36:25Come back with you.
36:26If only we could.
36:28Can't we?
36:29My dear.
36:31I'm travelling with Spear
36:32in my husband's carriage.
36:35Where are you meeting your maid?
36:37The Bridge Inn.
36:38Hmm.
36:39Can you help me with this?
36:40Ugh.
36:43Why do I have to lace it?
36:44No.
36:45That's only for comedies
36:46in the theatre.
36:47The laces are tied.
36:47I just need help
36:48with the hooks down the front.
36:49Hmm.
36:50What?
36:52Well, next time
36:54it might be an idea
36:55if you were to wear something
36:56a little less
36:57complicated.
37:02I can hardly walk down the streets
37:03in my dressing hall.
37:05Even for you.
37:06Hmm.
37:06Hmm.
37:06Hmm.
37:10Oliver.
37:13How did you know where I was?
37:14They told me at your office.
37:16I've been waiting for 20 minutes.
37:18Mr Pope and I were celebrating.
37:20Mr Pope?
37:21Why is he here?
37:23Well, he's had good news
37:24about his company
37:25and I've just been accepted
37:26as a member of the club.
37:27Your father has been
37:28wonderfully kind
37:29and encouraging.
37:31What's the good news?
37:33Someone else is willing
37:34to join Mr Trenchard
37:35as an investor.
37:36You seem very adept
37:37at getting people
37:38to put their hands
37:39in their pockets.
37:40If only I had your gifts.
37:41That's enough.
37:42If Lady Brockenhurst...
37:43Lady Brockenhurst
37:44will put money
37:44into your company.
37:45I must leave you, gentlemen.
37:46I have been away
37:47from my desk long enough.
37:52Would you please
37:53enlighten me?
37:54Why does everyone
37:55want to give money
37:56to that bumpkin?
37:57What's behind it?
38:01There is some element
38:02to this business
38:02that you have left unsaid.
38:04You know his
38:04late father
38:05was an old friend of mine.
38:07So old I've never
38:07heard of him.
38:08Have you not?
38:09He asked me to look
38:10after his son
38:11when Charles first
38:12came to London.
38:13Then you've certainly
38:14managed it.
38:16Here.
38:17I came to give you these.
38:25Mr Trenchard.
38:29Let me help you.
38:30So, where shall we
38:38hold our next tryst?
38:40You decide.
38:42But what a difference
38:43these railways will make.
38:45Oh?
38:45What way?
38:47We could already go to
38:48Brighton and be back
38:49in time for tea
38:50and soon it will be
38:52no more than five or six
38:53hours to travel to York.
38:54The prospect makes me
38:55feel quite giddy.
38:56Hmm.
38:57Why does everything
38:57have to change?
39:00I like things
39:01the way they are.
39:02Nothing has to change
39:04about this afternoon.
39:08Now I really must be gone.
39:11Don't make me wait
39:12too long before
39:12I see you again.
39:13Is father home?
39:24Not yet
39:24but he will be soon.
39:26I'll just enjoy
39:27a few minutes of peace
39:27before he shows his face.
39:30I wish you wouldn't
39:31be so harsh.
39:33Has he spoken to you
39:34about the Isle of Dogs?
39:36Yes.
39:38You don't sound
39:39very excited.
39:40Should I be?
39:42Normally
39:42you're angry
39:43about being left
39:43out of things.
39:44I am.
39:46I'm even angrier now.
39:47Your father
39:48has gone out
39:49on a limb
39:49with Mr Cupid.
39:50Did not ask him to.
39:51Maybe not
39:52but it was all
39:53on your behalf.
39:56My father
39:56has always wanted me
39:57to be something
39:57I am not.
39:59It is my fate
39:59to disappoint him.
40:01I'm sure
40:01that's not true.
40:03It's even more true
40:03now that he's found
40:05the perfect embodiment
40:06of all the virtues
40:07that I lack.
40:08You mean
40:08Mr Charles Pope.
40:11I found them
40:13lunching together
40:14today.
40:17I wish you did not
40:18dislike him so.
40:19One day you may
40:20regret it.
40:23You mean
40:23when my father
40:24has made Mr Pope
40:25his heir
40:25and displaced me.
40:27That day
40:28will never come.
40:29I went to see
40:33an agent.
40:35He's given me
40:35descriptions
40:36of some gardens
40:37and orchards
40:38up for sale.
40:39That being why
40:40you said
40:41you were visiting
40:42Isleworth.
40:43I thought they
40:43might be useful.
40:45So now I have
40:45an alibi?
40:46Mm-hmm.
40:49I'm rather
40:50deeper in your debt.
40:53We must go.
40:54You're early.
41:04I couldn't work.
41:06I had lunch
41:07with Charles today
41:08and he told me
41:09the lady
41:09Brockenhurst.
41:10Thank you,
41:10Ellis.
41:11I won't change
41:12for dinner quite yet.
41:14Oh, very good, Mum.
41:16I'll ring when I need
41:17you but take the pink
41:18with you now
41:19and see if you
41:20can get the mark
41:20out.
41:31We should have
41:32a password
41:33for when the coast
41:33is not clear.
41:34How sad to think
41:35we have so many
41:36secrets that we need
41:37one.
41:38Now, tell me more
41:39about your luncheon.
41:41He arrived at the
41:42office full of the news.
41:43We went to the
41:43Athenaeum.
41:44Have you been
41:44accepted?
41:46Why didn't you
41:46tell me?
41:47I only heard this
41:47morning.
41:48I dare say I
41:48should be asked
41:49to leave soon.
41:50Why?
41:51Because she is
41:52giving him the money
41:53and when people
41:54learn that,
41:55they'll guess the
41:56secret.
41:56It's over.
41:57Sophia will be
41:58remembered as a
41:59slut and we'll be
42:00down in the dirt
42:00with her.
42:02Why didn't I give him
42:02the full amount
42:03when he needed it
42:03at the start?
42:05Why didn't you?
42:08Because I thought
42:08it would be too easy.
42:10I'll go and speak
42:11to her.
42:12What good would
42:13that do?
42:14Not at all,
42:14probably,
42:15but it can't do
42:15any harm.
42:18Today at the club,
42:19I wanted so badly
42:23to tell him
42:23the truth.
42:26Oh, Anne.
42:29My heart kept
42:30urging me that he
42:31should hear it
42:32from his grandfather
42:32rather than have it
42:34whispered on every
42:35street corner.
42:38But you didn't
42:38tell him?
42:39No.
42:41But was I right
42:42not to?
42:43James.
42:47When we put the
42:48child away from us
42:49and turned our
42:49backs, we chose
42:51a life of lies.
42:54Now those lies
42:55have returned to
42:56haunt us.
42:58And we must manage
42:59as best we can.
43:00the child
43:05sir?
43:06Here.
43:06Excuse me.
43:07All right.
43:08This.
43:09Oh, I just want to
43:10go.
43:10This is my
43:11time.
43:12I want to
43:13let to
43:13this.
43:17What?
43:19It's
43:19good.
43:21Yeah.
43:21What?
43:21Is
43:22what?
43:23Who?
43:23What?
43:24I want to
43:24go.
43:25This.
43:25Oh,
43:26this is
43:27what?
43:27This is
43:28what?
43:28Mr. Turton, is it?
43:38Could be.
43:40Do I know you, sir?
43:42No.
43:43But I understand we might be able to do some business.
43:45You and me?
43:47I doubt you and I would have much business in common, sir.
43:49No.
43:51No, but that's where you're wrong.
43:53I'm, um...
43:55Well, I'm looking for some help in a private matter.
43:58And you could just be the right man for the job.
44:02Why would you think that?
44:04Well, I've asked among my acquaintance,
44:05and yours was the name they suggested.
44:08And a Miss Ellis.
44:10The mistress's lady's maid.
44:12Just so.
44:13So, would it be possible for you to work with Miss Ellis on my behalf?
44:16I need some information about the trenchards.
44:19What makes you think I would betray them?
44:21Oh.
44:25Betray is a harsh word, Mr. Turton.
44:27I merely want to know more about the family.
44:29And I'm led to believe in certain circumstances.
44:33You might be willing to help.
44:35What circumstances?
44:37Well, there'd be a small reward for your assistance, of course.
44:40How small?
44:46That rather depends on the results.
