-Oh, my dear boy!

I'm delighted that you turned up.

And this must be Dyan.

Ah, I am your humble servant.

Please, do come in.

The country-gent thing is all fake.

I'm really a cockney from the East End.

-You really are a pretty little thing, now, aren't you?

I'm Alma, Hitch's wife. -Hi.

-I didn't realise how young you were going to be.

Quite the youngest one of his I've seen.

Cary is, of course, eternally youthful himself,

but I was worried you might get bored.

-That's very kind, but no need to be concerned on my part.

I'm old beyond my years.

-How long have you and Cary been an item?

-Oh no, we're not an item.

-Well, that makes sense

because he's still married to my friend Betsy.

-I don't know what Cary's told you,

but we're just taking it easy right now.

-Alma, please tell me there's something to drink in this house

other than these godawful blue cocktails.

-Sorry, darling.

Afraid not.

Dyan was just telling me how you're not an item.

Oh, I do hope I haven't put my foot in it.

-Did you have to say that?

-Well, it's the truth.

And as she's just reminded me, you're still married.

-Well, it's also the truth that I haven't seen Betsy

but he insisted as ever on the final cut.

-Hmm.

You know what I want -- a proper relationship

couldn't go more than 100 miles

I said to Rainier,

"I'm going to go and give dating tips

to one of the most desirable men in the world."

-Don't tease me, Grace. I'm in over my head.

I'm crazy about this girl. But she's broken it off.

She wants commitment.

Just that he had something to tell me,

and could I please go for a visit?

-We've just done a two-picture deal with RKO.

You don't have time to go to England.

-Oh, there's always time. You can sort it out.

So I came back to where it all started.

Cary Grant found himself in the land of Archie Leach.

-Ha. Pleased to see you.

I don't believe it's you.

Little Archie all grown up.

-Hello, Dad.

-Oh, this is, uh -- this is your, uh --

this is Eric.

-My brother. Half brother.

How do you do? -All right.

-Eric, get Archie a drink, will you?

What'll you have? Pint of bitter?

-Why not?

So, how have you been these last few decades?

-Yeah, can't complain.

Enough money to keep us in baccy and bevvies.

You can't ask for more than that, can you?

-Right.

-What's your accent, boy?

-I've been in America quite a long time.

You may not have noticed.

It tends to rub off.

-[ Chuckles ] Well, you've done mighty well.

Don't think I'm not proud of you.

I'm just sorry you didn't carry on with the family name.

-Well, they asked me to change it,

and I wasn't really in a position to refuse.

-As long as you're not ashamed of us.

[ Indistinct conversations in background ]

-Well, [sighs]...

...I'm here.

What is it you wanted to say

that you couldn't say on the telephone?

-Ah.

-Thank you, Eric.

-No! No, no, no.

It's not every day you get to buy

a famous film star a pint of wallop.

-Well, here's mud in your eye.

-Cheers.

-Oh. It's pretty good.

-Eric, could you leave us for a few moments, boy?

Only there's things I need to discuss with Archie.

-'Course, yes.

-I think I know why he came down here.

I think he wanted to meet you.

-Ah. -I can't get over it.

You leaving here as a boy and coming back as a man.

Good-looking man at that and all.

-Well?

-Well, my health's not been too good,

but my conscience is clear.

I know none of us know when, you know, how long we got,

but when it comes, I shall go with my head held high.

-Your conscious is clear about what?

-I did it for you.

I didn't want her interfering, Archie.

I thought she'd hold you back.

-What are you talking about?

-Well...

not to put too fine a point on it...

It's your mother I'm talking about.

-What about her?

-No nice way to say it, but...

she's still alive.

-W-What do you mean?

-I did it for you, boy.

You -- You know how she was when we lost John.

-My mother is alive?

While -- while we're -- while we're talking in this pub,

Mum is alive somewhere?

-Yeah, that's so.

-Where?

Where is she?

-She's in Fishponds Asylum.

I-I had to put her there.

♪♪♪

-You told me she was dead.

You -- You told a little boy

that his mother was dead.

-I judged it was the best thing to tell you at the time

in the state she was in.

She became a very difficult person to live with.

She was giving me all sorts of problems!

-You were meant to look after her.

You were meant to protect her.

She's your wife.

She's your fucking wife!

-Aaah! Aah! I did it for you, boy!

-Fucking evil! -I did it for you!

-You told me she was dead!

-I did it for you, boy!

Whoa. Oh.

[ Moaning ]

Don't be too hard on me, boy. I've only just got you back.

-You don't get me back. You don't have a son.

-Welcome to our hospital, Mr. Grant.

-Thank you. -Please.

-Hello. -Hello.

-She's never really caused us any problems.

I asked around for years whether she had any other family

than her husband, given his inflexibility.

But I never got to the bottom of it.

If only we'd known who her son was.

I've seen lots of your films.

I mean, I know I've grown a little.

Do you recognise me at all?

Remember he was coming to see you today?

No, this -- this isn't my son.

No, where's Archie? Where's my little Archie?
