00:00The End
00:30Oh, my God.
01:00Oh, my God.
01:29Oh, my God.
01:31I've come about the position.
01:33Our parlourmaid was it?
01:35And a house parlourmaid.
01:37I am the house parlourmaid.
01:41Well, come in.
01:43Tell Mr. Hudson you're here.
01:47Who's Mr. Hudson?
01:49The butler.
01:51Oh, the bloke all in black at a front door.
01:53Wait in now.
01:55Oh, my finger.
02:03Oh, it's half gone off.
02:05Oh, my finger.
02:07Oh, it's half gone off.
02:09Not gone all together then, have it?
02:11Oh, I don't look.
02:13You've got blood on them potatoes, my girl.
02:15You can throw them away and start all over again.
02:17And get a move on, girl.
02:19Who are you when you're a girl?
02:21Who are you when you're a girl?
02:23Oh, yes, where's Alfred?
02:24He's taken my button hooks again.
02:25I know he has.
02:26Well, what am I going to do?
02:27Go to Miss Hudson, Miss Roberts.
02:29Don't come whining round me.
02:31I'm all behind like a cow's tail.
02:33Well, well, spying on you.
02:35What have you done with my button hooks?
02:37Oh, Alfred.
02:38Get out from under my feet.
02:39That's a pair of you.
02:40Top of the arms to that bell.
02:41Alfred.
02:42Cat caught your tongue as it will be off.
02:43No, it's just about you.
02:44You're straight.
02:45Lord's everywhere.
02:46Oh, Lord's everywhere.
02:47Oh, Lord.
02:48Oh, Lord.
02:49Oh, Lord.
02:50Oh, Lord.
02:51Oh, Lord.
02:52Oh, Lord.
02:53Oh, Lord.
02:54Oh, Lord.
02:55Oh, Lord.
02:56Oh, Lord.
02:57Oh, Lord.
02:58Oh, Lord.
02:59Oh, Lord.
03:00Oh, Lord.
03:01Oh, Lord.
03:02Oh, Lord.
03:05My name is Clémence.
03:07Clémence.
03:08I've come about the position.
03:11Clémence?
03:12What sort of a name's that?
03:15Answer me up.
03:16Are they in your silver box or not?
03:18Silent Woman is above rubies.
03:20Well, it's a French name.
03:22French?
03:23Oh, we don't want no foreign mock in here.
03:26None of your nasty oak goes in.
03:28Thank you very much.
03:29Greasy mutton again then, Mrs Bridges.
03:31Oh!
03:32None of that behaviour in my kitchen, Mr Pierce.
03:36Keep that for your stables.
03:37Mrs...
03:38And be off with you.
03:40Oh!
03:41The milk's caught.
03:43Now see what you've made me do all.
03:45This place will be the death of me.
03:48What's wrong with mutton, anyway?
03:51I'll bleed to death.
03:52Oh!
03:53Oh!
03:54Oh!
03:55Oh!
03:56Oh!
03:57Oh!
03:58Oh!
03:59Oh!
04:00Oh!
04:01Who's he?
04:02Alfred, the footman.
04:03Take no notice of him.
04:04He was brought up religious.
04:05He's got a...
04:06I thought I told you to wait in there.
04:07I'm sorry.
04:08Cook said she wanted to...
04:09I said nothing of the sort.
04:10And it's Mrs Bridges, if you please.
04:11Not Cook.
04:12This is a gentleman's house.
04:13Not making a very good start, are we?
04:14Oh, come on.
04:15Mr Hudson's waiting for you.
04:16Oh!
04:17Oh!
04:18Oh!
04:19Oh!
04:20Oh!
04:21Oh!
04:22Oh!
04:23Oh!
04:24Oh!
04:25Oh!

04:38Oh!

04:44Oh!

05:03Oh!
05:04Oh!
05:05Oh!
05:06Oh!
05:07Oh!
05:08Oh!
05:09Oh!
05:10Oh!
05:11All right.
05:41You're the new girl about the position, my lady.
05:48Yes, Hudson. I'll get to cover it with you.
06:11If whom it may concern, the bearer of this letter is well recommended for domestic.
06:20Mm-hmm.
06:22What is your name?
06:24Clemence Dumas.
06:26And you are French?
06:28You must call me m'lady when you reply.
06:31I'm sorry, m'lady.
06:35This letter appears to be from someone whose name I cannot read,
06:39who lives at the Chateau Lac du Champ near Lyon.
06:44I haven't heard of it.
06:46No, neither did I, m'lady, till I got there.
06:49Why did you leave your previous employment?
06:52My mother took sick and I had to return to England.
06:55I hope she's better now.
06:57Poor m'lady.
06:58It's important to be able to concentrate on your work.
07:00Oh, that's all right. She died.
07:02I'm sorry.
07:05I must assume the agency has checked your reference.
07:08Yes, that's right.
07:13You're new to service, are you not?
07:25She couldn't tell a feather duster from a ball constrictor.
07:29Quite unsuitable.
07:31She went to the front door.
07:33You're quite right, Rose.
07:34Untrained and blind to all decency.
07:37Is luncheon ready, Mrs Bridges?
07:39I confess to a wholesome appetite.
07:41Two shakes of a lamb's tail, Mr Hudson.
07:43I've had trouble with range again.
07:46Dad's gone into the cold.
07:49Hasn't it, Emily?
07:51Oh, that must be the morning room.
07:55Yes.
07:56Mr Hudson.
07:57Right, thank you, Rose.
08:01Clemence Dumas.
08:03Fancy trying to get into service with a name like that?
08:06Well, I hope she gets taken on.
08:07I like to.
08:08It's not for you to hope, nor not to hope neither for that matter, Emily.
08:13It's for you to keep the fire in.
08:15You let it go out on purpose.
08:17Oh, I never did.
08:19Yes.
08:20The cold's wet.
08:21And that's Alfred's fault.
08:22He always leaves the cold house door open.
08:24Oh, put you in the cold house.
08:26Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
08:28Don't pass blame, Emily.
08:29Oh, no.
08:30You're against me too.
08:38Oh yes, Hudson.
08:39I intend to engage this young woman.
08:41She'll have her dinner in the servants' hall and collect her belongings afterwards.
08:45Rose can show her what to do.
08:48And the young person's name, my lady?
08:51Sarah.
08:52No, my name is Clemence.
08:53Clemence is not a servant's name.
08:55Yes, but I don't like...
08:57Go with Hudson, Sarah.
09:02And remember, you're here on trial.
09:05Yes, my lady.
09:17Mr. Hudson, do I have to be called Sarah?
09:19Yes.
09:20I don't like it.
09:21It is not for you to question your betters.
09:22Are you my better?
09:23Indeed I am.
09:24What makes you better than me?
09:25You're not being rude.
09:26I just want to know.
09:27I am older than you and therefore wiser.
09:29And I have learnt humility.
09:32You!
09:34It is a hard lesson, but once learned, never forgotten.
09:37How did you learn it?
09:38My grandmother was a proud woman and died of starvation.
09:42I just can't have bad cold food.
09:44Greasy mutton.
09:45It'll taste all the better for the...
09:48weighty.
09:51Emily, another plate.
09:54I've got a chair.
09:55I've got a chair.
09:56Alfred, get a chair.
09:57Alfred, get a chair.
09:58Alfred, get a chair.
10:17Thank you, Emily.
10:18Amen.
10:20Amen.
10:31Amen.
10:33Amen.
10:35May the Lord bless our endeavors and grant us conciliation to that rank in
10:50which in his infinite mercy he has seen fit to place us and for what we're about
10:55to receive of his great bounty may we be truly grateful that in the end we may
11:00find favor in his eyes and sit in honor at his table. Amen.
11:07Amen.
11:08Amen.
11:17Sarah is joining us as under house parlor maid Miss Roberts.
11:20Indeed Mr. Hudson. On trial I take it?
11:23On trial?
11:26Rose, you are to instruct Sarah in her duties.
11:29Yes, Mr. Hudson.
11:31With a good heart and a glad will, if you please, Rose.
11:34Naturally, Mr. Hudson.
11:36That's Miss Roberts. She's a ladyship's personal maid.
11:39That's Mr. Pearce. Mr. Pearce is the coachman. That's Emily. Emily does...
11:44Silence, if you please.
11:51Everyone is served, Mrs. Bridges.
11:53Thank you, Mr. Hudson.
11:55You may talk.
12:00Mutton again.
12:02What's wrong with mutton, Mr. Pearce?
12:03With a nice drop of caper sauce?
12:05Nothing, Miss Roberts. Nothing at all.
12:07I prefer to eat hay like your horses.
12:10Forget I spoke, ladies.
12:12Can I have the caper sauce, please?
12:14It's not food for young women.
12:17Over eats the blood.
12:18Millions would be grateful for what we have, Mr. Pearce.
12:21Yes, Mr. Hudson.
12:23Wouldn't you agree, Sarah?
12:28Mr. Hudson's addressing you, Sarah.
12:31Oh!
12:33I'm sorry.
12:35It's just that the name's so unfamiliar.
12:37Couldn't that be called Clemence if only down here?
12:40Oh, my dears, I've never heard of such a name below stairs.
12:44What ever was your mother thinking of?
12:46Search the good book from cover to cover and not find that name.
12:50Lady Marjorie's wishes must be respected.
12:54Clemence.
12:55Good name for a filly, I'll say that.
12:57But hardly a human.
12:59I think it's a lovely name.
13:01As I was saying,
13:02millions would be grateful for mutton once a week,
13:05let alone mutton once a day.
13:08Wouldn't you agree, Sarah?
13:15This, Mr. Hudson.
13:20Did you really live in France, Sarah?
13:22Yes. Were you in service there?
13:24No, I lived in the chateau.
13:27Once I had my own maid like Lady Marjorie.
13:31I think we must learn to take Sarah's statements with a pinch of salt.
13:35Oh, don't lie.
13:36Didn't say you did.
13:37First you just exaggerate.
13:39If her ladyship finds Sarah satisfactory, I'm sure we all do.
13:42It is not for us either to choose or judge our companions in service.
13:46Rose, as you know very well.
13:50Have a little more time for the sauce, dear.
13:56Say something in French, then.
13:58Some other time.
14:00What are you laughing for?
14:01Don't you believe me?
14:02You're as English as I am.
14:03I'm not.
14:05My mother was a gypsy.
14:06I can read hands and tell the future and put curses on people.
14:09Lord, preserve us the witch of Ender herself.
14:12If my mother was a gypsy, I wouldn't speak of it.
14:15I nearly ran off with the gypsies once when I was a girl.
14:20That was a long time ago.
14:21Oh, not as long as all that, Mrs Bridges.
14:24A little more sauce, Miss Bradson.
14:27I think there's just a scrape left.
14:30I'm not ashamed of my mother.
14:32She was a gypsy princess and very beautiful.
14:35More mutton, Mrs Bridges.
14:38Just a more sauce.
14:39Thank you, Miss Bradson.
14:40A French Count saw her and married her.
14:44And she died giving birth to me.
14:46Well, my father married again a very wicked woman.
14:49And when he died, she treated me like a servant.
14:52And in the end, she threw me out altogether.
14:55But I've got lawyers fighting for me.
14:57And in the end, I'll come into my own.
14:59In the meantime, I must live as best as I can.
15:02Oh, it's just like a story in a book.
15:05Exactly, Emily.
15:06A tale from a penny novelette.
15:08All very well for a kitchen maid,
15:10but not what one expects from a house parlour maid.
15:14Say something in French.
15:16Go on.
15:18Would you like me to read your hand for you, Mrs Bridges?
15:21Shall she read my hand, Miss Hudson?
15:23By all means, Mrs Bridges, if it pleases you.
15:26After dinner.
15:27Oh, do mine.
15:28Do mine.
15:29Wicked nonsense.
15:31There are more things than heaven and earth, Rose.
15:34Truth is stranger than fiction.
15:36It's unhealthy and dangerous.
15:38Not if you have a clear conscience.
15:40It didn't give them to mortals to know the future.
15:43Oh, yes, it is.
15:44But it's against the will of God.
15:46And look what happened to King David.
15:48He didn't do so bad, though, did he?
15:50Dirty old devil.
15:51My gift comes from God, not a devil.
15:53She ought to be locked up.
15:54Rose.
15:55That's enough.
15:58Well, why won't she say something in French, then? Answer that.
16:00Because she go, and that's why.
16:02Because she don't choose to, that's why.
16:04Don't you let these old prudes upset you, Sarah.
16:07What's for putting, then, Mrs Bridges?
16:09Roly-poly, Mr Pearce.
16:11And don't you go telling me nothing I don't want to hear,
16:14or you'll get your ears boxed.
16:16And even as King David went to the witch of Enda,
16:19so did Mrs Bridges seek knowledge from our Sarah here.
16:22Someone's gonna get struck by lightning.
16:25Our Sarah.
16:28Say something in French.
16:30Go on.
16:31If you can.
16:36Very nice.

17:17Come on, get up! It's our passport!
17:28Oh, Alfred, I'll kill you!
17:31Where am I?
17:34You and Mr Bellamy's house in a servant's quarters warehouse.
17:38And it's time to get up.
17:47If we get behind in the morning, there's trouble all day.
17:53So up with you.
17:56Me legs won't work. Me feet are cold.
18:00Well, they will.
18:02Because they must.
18:06It's half past five.
18:09It's better once you're up.
18:17Oh, come on, you'll be late.
18:40I trust you can remember your duties.
18:57When you're dressed and ready, what then?
19:01I must make sure that Emily's got the range working properly
19:06so that Mrs...
19:08Bridges can get on.
19:10Then...
19:12lay up breakfast in the servants' hall.
19:16Then there's Lady Marjorie's tray.
19:18And don't forget to shine up the milk jug. Don't leave sticky finger marks.
19:22The last girl always did.
19:24Then there's the servants' breakfast.
19:26I suppose I'm allowed to sit down and eat.
19:28After breakfast, make sure Emily's not hiding in the boot hole again.
19:32If she isn't and won't budge, inform me.
19:34I shall be brushing and dusting in the drawing room and the morning room.
19:39Well, go on.
19:41Er...
19:42Then...
19:43Upstairs, and clean out the grates, and relay and light the fires.
19:47Hope and find the matches.
19:49You've got a good memory. I'll say that for you.
19:52Quiet as a mouse doing the grates, please.
19:55Well, call me to draw the master's bath.
19:58I'd better do that for the time being.
20:00But you fetch the hot water.
20:02Now, if the boiler's troublesome, you'll have to use the hot water kettle.
20:07Now, after the baths, I'll lay upstairs breakfast.
20:11I'd like you to help me there.
20:13And make sure Emily's got all the boots and shoes done.
20:16She keeps all on her sleep in the mornings. I don't know why.
20:19And keep out the wrist of bell in this way, whatever you do.
20:23Why?
20:24Just pretend you're not there, especially in the mornings.
20:28Scruffy boots. That'll never do.
20:31Do you want to borrow a pair of mine? Not a spare pair.
20:35It's smaller, dare say, but better sore feet than shabby boots.
20:39Oh, and today's the day for fresh bed linen.
20:42Now, it's a bit of a rush,
20:44because it's got to be done while they're having breakfast.
20:47And Lady Marjorie eats like a little bird.
20:50Oh, and the towels, of course.
20:52You can't never remember it all!
20:54Well, you must.
20:55Anyway, here's a list.
20:58Oh, I forgot...
21:00You got it upside down?
21:03Oh, so I have.
21:09Put your collar studs in, girl.
21:18I'm cold.
21:19Mmm. Well, work soon warms you.
21:25Oh, Mrs Bridges will kill me.
21:30Oh, and I'm late with her morning tea again.
21:33Oh.
21:34Oh, give the fire a blow and a puff for me, will you?
21:36It's not going properly yet.
21:38It never has and it never will.
21:40Oh, give the blame for it.
21:47Oh, who are you?
21:49I work here.
21:50Good luck to you, then.
21:51Where is she?
21:52Who?
21:53Who do you think?
21:54Oh, it's you, Matty.
21:55She's on her way down now, only I was late calling her.
21:58She's in such a whack.
22:00You should be laying out the servants' breakfast.
22:02Go on.
22:03Yes.
22:04Well, go on!
22:05Come on!
22:06Come on!
22:07Come on!
22:08Come on!
22:09Come on!
22:10Come on!
22:11Come on!
22:12Come on!
22:13Come on!
22:14Come on!
22:15Come on!
22:16Come on!
22:17Come on!
22:18Come on!
22:19Come on!
22:20Come on!
22:21Come on!
22:22Come on!
22:23Come on!
22:24And sweet your nose, Emily!
22:25Do you wish you hadn't got one?
22:26Tea like dead snake water!
22:28Enough drink to drink!
22:29Not there it ever is!
22:31If you put boiling water on that pot, my girl,
22:34may lightning strike me before it gets to you!
22:36Oh, I swear I did, Mrs Bridges. Crossed my heart and hoped to die.
22:40Goblinet's head off the kettle was.
22:45She's waiting for you, Mrs Bridges. Who?
22:48Matty. Matty? Why didn't you say so?
22:54Put a cloth on the table before you lay up.
23:06There you are, Matty. It's a nice cloth on.
23:43Morning, Rose. Morning, Mrs Bridges.
23:49Sarah! What are you thinking of? Why isn't that table laid? What have you been doing?
23:53I shall require my best silk hat.
23:55Very good, sir. I'll send it on to the Hetters for ironing this morning.
23:59The new Underhouse Parliament, sir.
24:02I see.
24:06Oh, it's quite nice, isn't it? But why change?
24:16Mornings were housemaids, afternoons were parlourmaids. See? Oh. Come on.
24:25Is that kettle boiled yet? Almost.
24:27Get the silver sugar bowl from the cupboard. What for her?
24:31A ladyship's tray. She'll be expecting it when she comes in.
24:34Milk jugs in the larder, Rose.
24:36There you are.
24:37Here, where does Lady Marsh we go to in the afternoons?
24:49In cars, mostly. Or just driving in the park.
24:53To while away the time, I suppose, when Mr Bellamy gets home from Parliament.
24:57They wouldn't fancy it.
24:59Oh, I would.
25:00Imagine driving round and round in a fine carriage with strong white horses
25:04and everyone looking at you.
25:06I'd like to be our ladyship back. Always punctual.
25:11Sarah, I'll take it up.
25:12No, not until she rings for it.
25:14And I'll take it up this afternoon.
25:16You can fetch it if you behave yourself.
25:28A very pleasant afternoon, my lady.
25:30Yes, isn't it, Hudson?
25:42Your tea, my lady.
25:44Thank you, Rose.
25:45Mrs Bridges thought you might be a bit hungry, my lady.
25:50Rose, how do you find the new girl?
25:53Quite satisfactory, my lady.
25:54I hope you're looking after her.
25:57Of course, my lady.
25:59Will that be all, my lady?
26:01She claims to be something of a sempstress.
26:03So I set her to repairing the tapestry cushion.
26:07I thought we're gonna send it out, my lady.
26:09It's very old and very delicate.
26:11Otherwise, of course, I would have undertaken it myself.
26:13She has delicate fingers and nice, neat movements.
26:16Yes, my lady.
26:18Will that be all, my lady?
26:20I'd be interested to see it as soon as she's finished it.
26:23Very good, my lady.
26:24If I was rich, I'd have a little cottage in the country.
26:28And no one to shout at me.
26:30And lots of kids.
26:32I'd never forget their names the way our ma'am did us.
26:35Oh, that's boring.
26:38That's not exciting.
26:40I want excitement.
26:45Time for a chat, I see.
26:48The tea's a poison. It's full of tanning.
26:52Sarah?
26:53Yes?
26:54I thought you were supposed to be sewing Lady Marjorie's cushion.
26:57I hope you know it's worth hundreds of pounds.
26:59You might at least be getting on with it.
27:01I've done it.
27:02Where? Show me.
27:03I see.
27:17Well, you'd better take it up to her then, haven't you?
27:19What now? I haven't finished my tea.
27:23That's beautifully done.
27:25Thank you, my lady.
27:26Where did you learn to sew like that?
27:28In a convent.
27:29In France?
27:30Yes, that's right.
27:31Are the nuns good to you?
27:33Most of the time.
27:35But sometimes they dress me in a long canvas robe
27:38and shut me up in a dark cell with no food or water for a whole day.
27:43Why?
27:44To teach me to be thankful, my lady.
27:46What for?
27:47God's mercy.
27:48That was a strange way of bringing you to know it.
27:50Yes, that's what I said and back I went.
27:53What other talents have you besides sewing?
27:57None, really.
27:58You sure?
27:59Whoa.
28:01I can tell fortunes.
28:03Hands and tea leaves.
28:04I could do yours, my lady.
28:05What nonsense.
28:06No, I'm very good at it.
28:07I'm never wrong.
28:08I know what my future is.
28:09Do you, my lady?
28:11Very well, Sarah.
28:12What do you see there?
28:15A tall, dark stranger from overseas, I suppose.
28:21Yes, there is.
28:22Are you bringing good fortune with him?
28:24Bringing mixed fortune, good and bad.
28:28He bears a sword and he's about to use it and should not.
28:31Dear me.
28:32Does it mean something to you, my lady?
28:34Indeed it does not.
28:36You see, there's first an increase in wealth, then a decrease.
28:40Now you are surrounded by many friends and they all wish you well except one, a false friend.
28:46How alarming.
28:50You should watch your elf.
28:52That's all, my lady.
28:53Oh.
28:56There's a gentleman of great authority.
28:58Near the rim, nearly out of the picture, but I think...
29:01Yes, I think he's coming nearer to you.
29:03Yes, Mr Bellamy, you'll be home soon.
29:05This is superstitious nonsense.
29:07No, my lady, I...
29:08You can go now.
29:13Sarah?
29:23It's Mr Bellamy wanting to dress for dinner.
29:28A lady should see me gloves.
29:31Oh, there she is bringing me.
29:33I can't be in two places at once.
29:35Alfred, are you sure you haven't seen them?
29:37Gloves? What should I know about gloves?
29:38I was sewing a button on them.
29:40You must have seen them.
29:41Alfred, take these up to the dressing room.
29:44Give the trousers a final brush before you lay them out.
29:46Now remember that waistcoat is white and must remain white.
29:48Now look sharp.
29:49The carriage is ordered for eight o'clock.
29:51Emily?
29:52Yes, Mr Hudson?
29:53More coats in the boiler at once.
29:55The bathwater's not properly hot yet.
29:57I'll get everything at the last minute.
29:59Her gloves in Alfred's knife box.
30:01And make sure what a pearl.
30:02Cool and calm, Miss Roberts.
30:03Cool and calm.
30:04Be tender.
30:05Mr Hudson?
30:06Yes?
30:07The carriage is here and Mr Pearce wants to know what time they're leaving.
30:10Tell me eight o'clock. He's early.
30:12No, no, not there, my girl. In my pantry.
30:14Answer.
30:15Hudson?
30:21Where are you going?
30:22Out.
30:23It's a gypsy in me. I can't bear to be shut in.
30:25Does Mr Hudson know you're going?
30:26It's only for a minute.
30:27Well you have to ask him or you'll get into trouble.
30:28But I'm not asking him and you're not going to tell him, are you?
30:29No.
30:30Right.
30:31Then I'll tell you a fortune for you when I get back.
30:33But if you breathe a word to a living soul, I'll curse you and your blood will turn to
30:38eyes and your blood will turn to eyes and then you're going to look at your blood.
30:40It's a gypsy in me.
30:41I can't bear to be shut in.
30:42It's a gypsy in me.
30:43I can't bear to be shut in.
30:44Does Mr Hudson know you're going?
30:45It's only for a minute.
30:46Well you have to ask him or you'll get into trouble.
30:48But I'm not asking him and you're not going to tell him, are you?
30:49No.
30:50Right.
30:51Then I'll tell you a fortune for you when I get back.
30:56But if you breathe a word to a living soul,
30:59I'll curse you,
31:01and your blood will turn to ice in your veins,
31:05and you will die horribly within the week.
31:09There.
31:21There were in your eyes, Emily.
31:33What's it matter?
31:34I won't be needing them much longer.
31:36No.
31:38When I breathe, I get a pain.
31:42The good die young, they say.
31:44And I have the impression on me chest.
31:47I wish you'd stop reading that rubbish.
31:51It isn't rubbish.
31:52Things like that do happen.
31:59I think Sarah's more tragic and more romantic than anything in a book.
32:03I would lay down my life for her if I was asked.
32:06Would you?
32:07Well, where is she, then?
32:08I do not know.
32:09I am silent.
32:11What's the matter with you?
32:12Torture me to death, if you wish.
32:14My lips are sealed.
32:15Oh, for goodness sake, I only wanted to turn down the beds.
32:17It's on her list, as clear as daylight.
32:18Or do I have to do her work, too?
32:21And you're going to pull out my toenails one by one, and I still shan't speak.
32:25What's the matter with that girl?
32:27Why isn't she in bed?
32:29I want to wait up till they come back, please.
32:31There won't be anything to say.
32:32There might be.
32:33There might have been someone with them.
32:36Oh, a tall, dark stranger from across the seas who fall in love with me.
32:42And take me away from all this.
32:44It's Sarah.
32:44She's been putting ideas in her head.
32:46She has strange powers.
32:48She sees things we can't see.
32:49Stuff and nonsense.
32:50We can't have this, can we, Mrs Bridges?
32:51We cannot.
32:55I was just going to fetch some bread and cheese.
32:58Would you be careful a bit, Rose?
32:59Very much, Mrs Bridges.
33:01I am a bit peckish.
33:03Emily, are you sure you don't know where Sarah is?
33:07Oh, she's not in the kitchen.
33:09She's not in the pantry.
33:12Emily, look at me.
33:14I want the truth.
33:16All right, then.
33:18Who's been at my larder?
33:19Where's Miss Trudson?
33:20It's a matter for the police, nothing less.
33:22Miss Trudson?
33:23What's happened?
33:24Somebody's stolen a bird out of my larder.
33:26That's what's happened.
33:27Are you sure?
33:28Do you think I don't know me own larder?
33:30Miss Trudson!
33:32Emily, where is Sarah?
33:33She hasn't gone out, has she?
33:35Did you call, Mrs Bridges?
33:36I did indeed, Miss Trudson.
33:38Why was that, Mrs Bridges?
33:39Because a plot and dressed bird cannot walk, Miss Trudson.
33:42We have a thief in our midst.
33:44A human fox, a chicken stealer.
33:47And when I lay my eyes on her, I'll skin her alive.
33:51Or him.
33:52Silence.
33:53Kindly assemble the staff in question.
33:56If that's what you want, Mrs Bridges,
33:58how long has the melancholy fowl been missing?
34:00Twenty minutes, Miss Trudson, since I last saw it laying on the shelf.
34:03Oh, in that case, we have the staff in question assembled.
34:06With the exception of Sarah, who seems to be temporarily absent.
34:10You would hardly steal your own bird, Mrs Bridges, and then complain of it.
34:16We know Rose would not, could not.
34:20And if Emily had done it, I swear there would still be feathers round her mouth.
34:24It was a plucked and dressed bird, Miss Trudson.
34:28Not a feather left upon it.
34:30Even the back fluff was singed.
34:32I was speaking in metaphor, Mrs Bridges.
34:35I am led to the conclusion that the guilty party is none other than Sarah,
34:39the stranger in our midst.
34:41Not a gypsy princess after all, but a common thief.
34:44I knew it.
34:46And what is to be done with a creature so unnatural?
34:48I stole it.
34:49And in what dark hole, I wonder, is she hiding?
34:51It was me, not her.
34:53Emily knows.
34:54I know nothing.
34:55I don't want my blood turned to ice.
34:58Oh, this fuss about a bird.
34:59Yet it was you who summoned me, Mrs Bridges.
35:01Well, perhaps a rat took it off.
35:05Or a team of cockroaches working in harness at her side.
35:08The principal is at stake, ladies.
35:09A chicken today.
35:11Emeralds tomorrow.
35:12And the whole staff under suspicion.
35:14It is not, after all, as if Sarah had the privileges
35:16granted by custom and common humanity to the cook.
35:20When she comes back, I'll skin her alive.
35:23Oh, I swear.
35:24I swear I don't know where she is.
35:26I swear.
35:26If she comes back, it'd be better for everyone if she didn't.
35:32Well.
35:34There she is.
35:35Sarah.
35:36I never told her.
35:37Sarah, you're in here.
35:38They tried to torture, but I never said a word.
35:40Shut the door.
35:41I didn't even whisper.
35:42If a great whisper, Sarah, honestly, I didn't even tell her.
35:45Book in the streets at night.
35:46Rose, that's enough of that.
35:48You too, Emily.
35:52We have reason to believe that you have stolen a chicken
35:54from Mrs Bridget Lather.
35:56That you have crept out into the night
35:58to dispose of your forbidden loot
35:59and have returned with your ill-gotten profits
36:02concealed about your person.
36:06What have you to say for yourself?
36:09Well?
36:10If Mrs Bridges can do it,
36:12why the hell should an alley?
36:14Well?
36:14Well.
36:42Thank you, Alfred. Let me go to bed now.
36:44Thank you, sir.
37:02You'll have nothing, my dear?
37:06Strange to see Archie Haslip across the dining table again.
37:10And his new wife.
37:13But I see why it all happened.
37:15What eyes that woman has.
37:17One can hardly excuse it.
37:19It's the thin end of the wedge, you know.
37:21Soon we'll see divorced people everywhere.
37:23Be obliged to chat and smile as if it were nothing unusual.
37:27In a moment, I'm afraid you will say,
37:28and the old queen hardly cold in her grave.
37:31Well, it's true. I don't like change.
37:34It goes too quickly.
37:35It becomes not progress, but disintegration.
37:38It's working like a good English woman.
37:40And an excellent wife for a Tory politician.
37:42Oh, tomorrow doesn't bear thinking about Joe Chamberlain on tariff reform again,
37:51and the front bench shuffling in its shoes.
37:53Well, the Prime Minister should be more firm with him.
37:55My father wouldn't have put up with it.
37:57Your father?
37:58He'd have run England single-handed if he could.
38:00He knew the value of firmness and resolution.
38:03And you are your father's daughter.
38:04I hope so.
38:06Don't bother your pretty head.
38:08These are men's matters.
38:09Don't say that. Now, why should I not bother my head?
38:12It has precious little else to fill it.
38:14Oh, you do so much.
38:16What do I do?
38:17You run this house.
38:18The servants do that in their own way.
38:20Yes, and a lot goes on that I know nothing about.
38:23I saw a light downstairs.
38:25The servants are still up.
38:27Have some hot milk.
38:28Everyone worries too much about me.
38:29Now, don't ring.
38:31You know, I don't like bells ringing late in dark corridors.
38:36One day, you know, things go on as they have been.
38:40You might ring and ring and no one would ever come.
38:43There'd be nobody there.
38:45I'm not as bad as you think.
38:47Don't get the police.
38:48You're a thief. Do you deny it?
38:49When I saw Mrs. Bridges doing it, I thought anyone could.
38:51Then you were wrong to think that you were as good as her.
38:54No, I didn't think of it that way. Please.
38:56Oh, please, is it now?
38:58We have changed our tune, haven't we?
39:00Look, I'll never do anything like it again.
39:04I've given the money to Mrs. Bridges.
39:06What good will it do to have me pinched?
39:09I thought we was all on the same side.
39:13Poor girl. One could fit here, I suppose.
39:15She's a moral imblessed.
39:16What have I done to you?
39:18You pretend to be something you are not.
39:20You make yourself out to be better than us.
39:22Not better.
39:24Just more interesting.
39:26Well, it doesn't owe any harm.
39:28It's only a bit of fun.
39:29How can lois be fun?
39:31They're not lois.
39:31They're make-believe.
39:32You are what you are.
39:34There's no escape.
39:35Not for you or me.
39:37There must be some escape.
39:39Oh, to be an under-house parlour mate's not so terrible.
39:42I think it'll be wonderful.
39:43In a minute, I'll remember you're here, Emily, and send you to bed.
39:48But I ought to be here, Mrs. Bridges, as a lesson to me.
39:52What in?
39:53Pride going before a fall.
39:55Murder will out.
39:57Oh, a stitch in time saves nine.
39:58Anything you like, I believe it.
39:59But please don't send me to bed.
40:01Bed?
40:01Oh, please.
40:03Nothing exciting ever happens.
40:05Why can't I stay up and watch the police take her off?
40:07Because the police aren't coming, Emily.
40:09Not if Sarah chooses to confess her faults.
40:14You are a common, ignorant, worthless girl, Sarah.
40:19Can you deny it?
40:20No.
40:21And a liar and a thief.
40:23Yes.
40:24You are an ordinary person, Sarah, like the rest of us.
40:27Yes.
40:28And you told lies to Lady Marjorie.
40:30You lied your way in where you had no right.
40:32Yes.
40:33And you have no French blood in you, let alone noble blood.
40:37No.
40:41And you are lucky to have found this home with us.
40:44Yes.
40:45Very well.
40:46The police need not be called.
40:49But upstairs must be informed.
40:51Oh, no.
40:54With a recommendation for mercy.
40:57Oh, coming from you, Rose, I'm sure it'll be accepted.
41:00Look, don't tell Lady Marjorie.
41:01I'd be so ashamed.
41:03Oh, she's not all bad, you see.
41:05She's capable of remorse.
41:06Look, take this Bible, Sarah.
41:13And read.
41:18Read this page.
41:19You will find written there the Ten Commandments.
41:22Now, take note of the Sixth Commandment.
41:24Thou shalt not steal.
41:25Now, repeat it to yourself.
41:27Make her write it out, like at school.
41:30Not a bad idea, Mrs. Bridges.
41:31Rose, fetch the pen and paper.
41:33She will write it out a dozen times in her best hand, just to suit you, Mrs. Bridges.
41:39Oh, thank you, Rose.
41:42There, now.
41:42Take the pen and write for Mrs. Bridges.
41:48Thou shalt not steal.
41:52I can't, Mr. Watson, I can't.
41:54Go on, girl.
41:55Write.
41:56Mrs. Bridges is waiting for proof of your reformation.
41:58No, please.
42:06Now, why not?
42:07It's just...
42:10I can't write!
42:17I don't know how.
42:19You can't write?
42:22Not even my own name.
42:24Mrs. Fancy.
42:30What, didn't they send you to school?
42:33I was needed at home.
42:35Didn't your mother learn you?
42:36I never had no mother.
42:39I was everyone else's mother from the age of five.
42:43They went to school, I stayed home.
42:49She's very upset.
42:50I think, perhaps, Mr. Hudson...
42:55I dare say you're right, Mrs. Bridges.
42:57What?
42:59I dare say there's no necessity to tell them upstairs about this unfortunate incident.
43:05A missing chicken, a dog, a cat, who's to say?
43:09These things will happen, even in the best regulated household.
43:14Now, up you go to bed, my girl.
43:15Yes, Mr. Hudson.
43:17Go on, I'll do that, girl.
43:18Oh, Rose, I'll turn down the lamps.
43:20Just do tidy up a bit, will you?
43:22I'll start, will you?
43:41No.
43:42It's just I wasn't expecting no one.
43:44They've gone to bed.
43:48Who?
43:49The master and Lady Marjorie.
43:51Oh.
43:53Let you go, have their...
43:54Hmm?
43:54Bit of trouble downstairs, raised voices, and they have Mr. Hudson's, mostly.
43:58Oh, that, um...
44:00We're just having a bit of an argy-bardy down there, all of us.
44:05Little counter-tum, you might say.
44:07Tell you something, sir.
44:09There ought to be prudence.
44:10There are lots of them.
44:11Write out the Sixth Commandment, thou shalt not steal.
44:14How do you know that?
44:15You wasn't there.
44:16I know everything that goes on in this house.
44:19You was listening to the keyhole.
44:22There's violence and sin in all of us.
44:25Filth and degradation.
44:27Let go my arm, Alfred.
44:28Beware the lusts of the flesh.
44:31Stop it.
44:32Let me go to bed.
44:35Kate, Mr. Sank.
44:36Who's Kate?
44:40Underhouse, maid, before you.
44:45Lust not for thy neighbour,
44:47for the wrath of the Lord shall be visited upon you.
44:50It's cold.
45:17Go to bed.
45:19All those big, empty rooms down there
45:22and us crammed up here together.
45:24Well?
45:31Who slept in this bed before me?
45:33A silly girl called Kate.
45:35What happened to her?
45:36She ain't here anymore.
45:38Why not?
45:40Curiosity killed the cat.
45:41I expect she just withered away.
45:51We'll probably find her.
45:54All shriveled up in the corner like a dead insect.
45:57I know.
46:03I'll ask Alfred what happened to her.
46:06Shall I?
46:08He's only up top.
46:09I could pop up there and ask him.
46:13You've got to be up at five.
46:15I hope you know your list.
46:17Yes.
46:18But you can't.
46:19You can't read.
46:21Oh, I was only saying that.
46:23I was only making it up.
46:24Then read to me now if you're not struck dead by lightning.
46:29I'm sorry.
46:32I'm sorry.
46:35I don't know what comes over me.
46:40Must be difficult for you, I suppose.
46:42I'll get up with you in the morning and show you what to do.
46:55Now go to sleep.
46:58We'll be good for nothing in the morning.
47:12Sarah?
47:23Nothing's been done.
47:24The serpent's breakfast said we're not made.
47:25The fires were not done.
47:27Sarah?
47:28What are you doing?
47:29I'm going, Rose.
47:30Then you can all say good riddance to bad rubbish.
47:32Sarah, you must be cuckoo.
47:34Maybe.
47:35I won't be needing those anymore.
47:36Not where I'm going.
47:37And where might that be?
47:38My cousin.
47:40I'm going to stay with my cousin in Ilford.
47:42I don't know.
47:42I didn't know you had a cousin in Ilford.
47:44Why should you?
47:45You don't own me.
47:47Well, you can keep them anyhow.
47:48You'll be needing them in your next job.
47:50Look, Rose.
47:51That's the whole point.
47:53Whatever happens, I'm not having a job again like this.
47:55Ever.
47:57I'm going to spend my whole life rotting away in an attic and wearing stupid uniforms.
48:03You're all no better than slaves.
48:06Yes, m'lady.
48:07No, m'lady.
48:08Three backs full, m'lady.
48:09Look what kind of a life you've got here.
48:11Living everything through them like they wasn't flesh and blood like the rest of us.
48:16As if you was vegetables with no feelings.
48:18But you ain't given it a chance yet.
48:20No, and I'm not going to either, thank you very much.
48:22You've seen enough.
48:24All right.
48:24I'll tell you what happened to Katie then.
48:28She used to go with guardsmen in the park.
48:30Corked the scarlet fever and out she went.
48:33She used to say to me, don't worry about me, Rose.
48:36I'll be all right.
48:37I can take care of myself.
48:39Well, our baby died and now she's on the streets taking care of herself.
48:44I'm not going to have a baby, Rose.
48:47And I'm not going to be told I'm a moral imbecile.
48:50And common.
48:52And ordinary.
48:53And a liar.
48:54And a thief.
48:54You still understand.
48:55I'm being shouted at because I can't read or write.
48:58But you was forgiven.
49:00Oh.
49:01Forgive and forget.
49:03Well, that's not for me, Rose.
49:06I've got to be free to go where I want.
49:07You're all dead in this house.
49:10As dead as Mrs Bridges' old cold mutton.
49:20I'm sorry, Rose.
49:23It's not your fault you've done your best.
49:27Perhaps I have got gypsy blood in me after all, eh?
49:37Where are you going, Sue?
49:49Out.
49:50Through the front door.
49:52The way I almost came in.
50:19The way I东西.
50:21I'll see you next time.
