All language subtitles for The House of Eliott s02e12

Thank you.

Well, it's always been our aim to raise
women's consciousness to the effect

their clothes have, not just on those
with whom they live and work, but on

themselves. Your latest designs have an
everyday quality, which appeals to a

wider range of women than merely those
who can afford haute couture, Miss

Elliot. Is this a deliberate policy and
one we may expect you to continue?

It is, and yes, you may, in conjunction,
of course, with our exclusive range on

which we continue to concentrate.

Do you plan to promote your more
accessible ranges through any of the

London emporiums?

Not yet.

The success of Elmer Jefford Henry's
film has attracted a lot of interest in

your work. Did you enjoy designing?

Yes, we did.

Excuse me.

Miriam Sargessman, there's Robo. Good
afternoon.

Would you give my card to Miss Elliot?

Certainly. Miriam Sargesson.

Thank you.

Thank you, ladies. You may go and change
now.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Do you have everything you need?

So designing for the theatre was an
experience you would like to repeat?

enjoyed our association with Dame
Caroline Charles very much.

Has the House of Elliot any plans to
open a branch in, say, Paris or Roma?

No, no.

Our interests are firmly based in London
for the moment.

Well done, girls. Thank you.

I'm sure you'd like to know that Miss
Elliot's are proposing to extend your

contract by a further three months, if
you're willing to remain with us.

Thank you, Mrs. Burgoyle. That would
suit me very well.

What about you, Lydia? Do you wish to
stay?

Oh, very much, thank you. Good.

Bring me that dress and you take it off,
would you? Yes, of course.

That's good news, Ben. I'm really
pleased.

We make a good team.

You've taught me a lot, Kitty.

I really appreciate your help, you know.

Will you let me take you out to
celebrate our new contract?

Oh, I can't. Sorry, I'm meeting Gerald
and I'm late.

Thanks anyway.

Another time, perhaps?

Yes. Bye. Bye.

Could Miss Evangeline tell us about the
state of her friendship with Lord

Modford? The subject of this interview
is the House of Elliotts and the showing

of our latest collection.

Does Miss Evangeline expect to see Lord
Modford in the foreseeable future?

Evie?

Your last questions, please, ladies and
gentlemen.

No, no, that's fine.

Sorry, I'm just going... It's all right,
Lydia.

I'm just tired.

Here.

Come on, have a good cry. They say it's
good for you.

But it does make a mess of one's make
-up, doesn't it?

Kitty and I are really pleased about our
new contract.

You've decided to stay.

That's good, I'm glad.

I want to go out and celebrate.

It's even a pity, doesn't it, not to
mark the occasion with something?

I don't suppose you'd like to come home
and have supper with me and my husband?

Lydia, that's very kind of you, but I...
It'll only be potluck with the food.

Of course, I'd love to.

It was my pleasure.

I think it went very well. You too?

If I am.

Here's to your new contract.

Three more months of the health of
Elliot.

And may they be very happy ones, Lily.
I'm sure they will be.

Welcome to our home. Yes, welcome.

This is a charming room.

Thank you.

I was on embarkation leave.

Married on Monday and at Ypres by
Friday.

Are these your friends?

They went through most of the war
together.

Peter was decorated for saving the life
of one of them.

It was nothing, really.

Which one did you save?

He isn't in that picture. He took it.

Actually, he planned to become a
professional photographer.

I wonder if Jack ever did.

Jack? What was his surname?

Maddox? Yeah, Jack Maddox. That was it.

I don't believe this. Jack Maddox is my
brother -in -law.

The same chap?

Yes.

So you were lost contact.

We got split up. And then, well, a lot
of it was best forgotten, you know.

Now, this fellow George, he was studying
archaeology before the war. I believe

he was taken prisoner.

I don't know what became of the other
chap.

Jack Maddox, eh?

Astonishing coincidence.

Jack actually did become a photographer.
In fact, now he's a director of moving

pictures.

You really should meet him, Peter.

I don't know.

A lot of water's gone under the old
bridge since those days.

Nevertheless, I think there's cause for
another bottle.

Jack Beatrice, the pub and bed.

I don't recall seeing him around.

No.

No, Jack's been busy lately.

Liddy, we should arrange a surprise
reunion for them all.

Yeah? But how will we trace the others?

The war office?

I don't know. We could try.

Jack Maddox speaking.

Alexander. Are you in London?

I see.

Look, it's very late this evening. Can't
it wait until... Right.

I'll see you in half an hour's time.

Goodbye.

I'm sorry for walking out like that.

No, you had every right to be angry.

I know, but I shouldn't have let it
upset me like it did.

Did you have a nice evening?

Yes.

Oh, you'll never guess what.

Liddy's husband, Peter, was in the war
with Jack.

Really?

We were thinking of arranging a surprise
reunion. There were four of them.

Jack, Peter, George Morton, and another
man.

Hugh Bailey.

Oh, Evie.

What? Hugh died of his wounds long after
the war.

I remember Jack used to go and visit him
in some awful nursing home.

It made him so angry, the way people
like Hugh were just forgotten about.

Well, a reunion isn't such a good idea,
though. No, it's a lovely idea, but...

Well, perhaps just confine it to Jack
and Liddy's husband.

I know. We could invite Jack out on some
pretext and then surprise him with

Peter.

Well, it's your birthday next week.

Yes, well, that would do.

Another meeting here between you and
Edie. I must talk to her, Jack.

And I'm certain her sister will try to
prevent it. Can't you for once think of

her? He's trying to accept the fact that
she's lost you. That you did the one

decent thing and withdrew on her account
from an impossible situation.

What are you proposing, Alexander?

To set her up as your mistress?

Visit her whenever your official duties,
your personal obligations allow? Do you

think that would make her happy?

She loves me, Jack. And that gives you
the right to wreck her life?

I've wrecked my own.

Status, self -respect, marriage.

All gone.

There's only left between Elizabeth and
myself.

Except reproach on her part and
resentment on mine.

As for my career, my obsession with Evie
so impaired my judgment.

They demanded your resignation, didn't
they? That's what happened.

But you let Evie believe... I lost
everything on her account. Everything.

Except perhaps her affection.

Help me to see her, Jack. Please.

You got me.

Jack, what is it?

What did you want to see me about?

I need your advice.

Alexander's back in the country.

Oh, no.

He wants to see you easy.

He's asked me to arrange a meeting. I
naturally refuse, but I wonder how far

we go? It's her life.

Jack, he is unprincipled and selfish.

I have no scruples whatsoever in keeping
them apart.

You know the truth about why he
resigned? Yes, I do. But Evie doesn't.

I want to save her from that pain.

I'm convinced we're doing the right
thing, Jack, by keeping them apart.

You don't think you're prolonging a role
which you no longer have? After all,

she is... What, my sister, not my child?
Is that what you're going to say?

Well, I still feel responsible for her.

We've been so busy putting this
collection together, but now that's been

We have even more time to booze. Yes.

Jack, would you join us for supper one
day next week? If we can celebrate your

birthday. And the success of your film
in Germany.

It's a pleasure.

Good. I'll tell Evie.

Evie? Hmm?

One of the reporters at the show raised
an interesting point about marketing a

range of our day wear through one of the
major stores.

What do you think?

Well, it's certainly worth
investigating.

Perhaps Alice could develop that area of
our business. Her organising ability is

underused.

Rather than the other?

As well as the other, I think.

Certainly, Miss Hill.

Miss Elliot.

Alice, whenever you're free, I'd like to
have a word in my office.

We feel that our day wear range could be
developed, possibly through one of the

larger London retailers.

Your experience makes you the perfect
candidate for the management of such a

project. Surely you don't mean ready
-made clothes?

There's nothing wrong with ready -to
-wear clothes, Alice, providing they're

well -made.

We would ensure that any garment bearing
our label meets our own stringent

standards.

Forgive me, Alice, you seem less than
enthusiastic.

I suspect Alice disapproves of the whole
idea, don't you, Alice?

I would prefer to say that I remain
unconvinced that becoming less exclusive

will prove in the long run to be
beneficial.

You have every right to your view, of
course.

And my position here as premier vendeur
keeps me fully occupied, especially with

the engagement of the mannequins, which
is attracting so much new business.

Really, my hands are full.

Happy birthday.

Oh, thank you.

Can we?

This is our table, but

we have three.

No, we have five.

Happy.

Good to see you, Jack.

You're sharp.

Peter's Liddy's husband. Liddy is one of
our mannequins.

And you're Mrs. Hanson. How do you do
it? I know.

This is incredible.

It is.

You look just the same.

And you look very well.

I've heard from the Geographical Society
that Helen George -Wilson is going to

Crete on an archaeological excavation,
but I can't have a dress on the right

there. You could.

I have to tell you all, I owe my life to
this man. He braved a bombardment that

got me to a field hospital.

Nothing, Jack, please.

Nonsense. You saved my life.

God, we were close before it was,
weren't we?

We were.

But one gets separated.

You know that Hugh died from the wounds
he received that night.

Sorry to hear it.

And what about George?

A great fellow, George.

Oh, he was.

Do you think he got through? He deserved
to.

I hope so, but... I rather doubt it.

Poor George.

Well, that's a part.

Tonight is Beatrice's birthday, so drink
to her and to the future.

To Beatrice and to the future.

How do you take your coffee, Miss
Artisans?

Black, please.

No cream, no sugar.

Thank you. You're welcome.

It was the costumes you designed for
Elmer Jeff Art Henry's film that first

brought your work to my attention,
though they naturally would not be

for the Sears Roebuck catalogue.

Now, I wish to establish whether, in
principle, you ladies would be

in marketing under license to Sears
Roebuck a range of your design.

In America?

In America.

Obviously, we're very flattered by your
interest, Miss Sargesson.

And subject to the details of any
contract proving satisfactory to us, I

we can say that we're interested.

Very interested. I'm delighted to hear
it.

Now, I must go.

Good day, Miss Elliot.

Good day. Thank you.

And Miss Elliot.

Good day. I will be in touch with you
when I've made my decision.

Just ticking over these days, this
larger workshop's virtually unused.

Take a look before we have that drink.

Before my father -in -law's death, both
these workshops were fully employed.

We managed to get by comfortably enough
on what we produced, but it's hardly

what I had in mind for myself when we
used to plan our futures.

You were always going to be a
photographer, and George, well, George

wait to get back to some damn dig or
other.

Poor old Hugh had no future at all, as
it turned out.

What about you?

What would you be doing if you had the
choice?

Oh, I don't know.

You see, I just jog along these days.

And you?

Are you busy with another film?

I'm working on an idea.

Oddly enough, it's about the war.

Some things that I would like to put
behind me, but which refuse to be laid

rest.

Can't get a studio to accept it at the
moment. Not commercially attractive

enough for the backers.

Can't you finance it yourself?

Going to production on my own?

Well, not impossible, but it's a huge
step.

One that I'm not sure I'm ready for yet.

What would you need?

A studio, for a start.

Somewhere with... Well, quite a bit of
space.

I apologise for intruding like this.

What are you doing here?

I've come to see Evangeline.

Well, she's not in the building. She
won't be back for hours.

Then I shall wait.

This is unpardonable.

I've come to see your sister.

If she doesn't wish to see me, I shall
of course leave at once. I have already

told you, she will be some considerable
time and she will not wish to see you.

On what authority did you speak for her?

You take too much upon yourself,
Beatrice. How dare you say that?

You're angry because you know that what
I say is true.

If I'm angry, it's because your self
-indulgence is threatening Evangeline's

happiness.

If I'm overprotective, it's because
you've forced me to be.

Go away, Alexander, before you do any
more harm.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I have Lady Bembridge in the fitting
room. She wanted a word, so I think

engaged. No.

I shall see her.

Thank you.

Is Miss Evangeline here today?

No, my lord.

She isn't expected back for some time.

See that she receives this, will you?

And tell Miss Beatrice that I could not,
after all, wait.

Yes.

And this could be our production office.

We're going to be a thundering success,
Jack.

We do.

I think it's best to begin in a small
way, keep things informal.

Till we know how we get on as a team, I
mean.

We're a good team, Jack. We proved that
long ago.

We did, didn't we?

Well, the set will be modest enough.

Suggestion of trenches, the skyline of
shattered trees.

Your carpenters can make those for me.
Of course they can.

Just tell me what you want and leave the
rest to me.

Come here, let me help you with that.
Thank you.

You look happy.

I am, because of Peter.

I never thought he'd be like this again.

Well, you never know it, would you? But,
well, he was injured too, you see.

Not physically, but in himself.

And when he came back from the trenches,
he was different.

Working with Jack is going to do him so
much good.

Good?

I've heard from George Morton. Oh, what
did he say? Well, he said he'd look Jack

and Peter up next time he's in London.
Oh, dear.

We're ready for you now, lady. Thank
you.

I don't want it there. Neither do I want
it there. I want it where I asked for,

there.

Now, get them to pull it up.

My God, Jack, this brings things back.

I'm trying to forget about it.

And you?

I want to face it, Peter. That's what
this film's about.

Right, that's good.

So on behalf of Sears Roebuck, it is my
pleasure to tell you that we have

decided to offer you the contract.

Doubtless you'll wish to discuss it in
detail with your lawyer, but we seem to

be agreed in principle, do we not?

Yes, we do.

You'll be aware, I'm sure, that my
company operates primarily through our

order catalogue. Here's the current
edition.

Thank you. We do, however, both one of
the finest stores in the state.

In this, as well as in several
prestigious commercial venues, we mount

annual promotional tour.

Now, we would appreciate it if you and
your representatives would participate

this event.

At our expense, of course.

Oh, you would like us to go to America?

You and whomever of your staff you
require to assist you on the tour.

Would that be acceptable to you?

Quite acceptable, Miss Arderson.

Well, we're happy with you two Germans.

If you won't mind, please.

We have you two up by the gun.

You own this studio, don't you, Mr.
Hanson?

Peter.

Faye. Faye Leslie.

That's with an I -E, not a Y.

That's about to take.

Camera rolling.

Good morning.

Now, as you know, we're going to be
taking a collection of our designs to

America, which Kitty and Lydia are going
to model.

Well, the word has got round, Miss B.

In addition, we will need the services
of a seamstress during the tour.

But only the one seamstress.

But only the one.

Now, the question is... Which one?

You're both equally qualified for the
job, so, well, we wondered what you felt

about it yourselves.

I think Matt should go. No, Tilly
should.

Well, you two are no help at all.

Shall we talk for it?

Right? Well, yes.

Will you call?

Heads.

Oh, Madge's tails.

Sorry.

Well, well done, Tilly.

Oh, thanks.

Next time, Madge. Yes, Miss Beatrice.

Sorry, Madge. Thank you ever so much.

Oh, I'd love to be a flan of all when
you're out and all.

Will you let him go?

Oh, let him go. Stop it, mate.

He's home to far away America, isn't he?

I wouldn't go and leave Perth. Oh,
that's only because Gary'd do a bunk

your back was turned.

Well, Gary'll be disappointed.

I reckon he could have done with a few
weeks without my nagging.

Come with me.

Good night.

During our absence, Mrs Burgoyne will be
in charge of the day -to -day running

of the house.

And you'll be working closely with her.

Your areas of responsibility are clearly
defined.

You're both familiar with them.

I don't see any problems there, do you?

No, Miss Elliot.

Well, think about it, Joseph, and if you
feel... I can tell you now.

I'd like to very much.

I'm so glad.

I can't tell you what a relief it is to
know I should be leaving things in such

safe hands.

Thank you.

This certainly sets you up financially.

Well, we'd have an independence and a
security that we've never had.

Gives you real status, you know, in the
commercial sense.

But as regards our name, our reputation,
are we wise to get involved in this

market? You're diversifying, that's all.
The exclusive range remains unaffected,

yes?

No, it's a great opportunity. My advice
for what it's worth is to seize it.

We hoped you'd say that.

It's an exciting itinerary. Chicago,
Boston, New York.

Wish I was going with you.

But I have a film to finish.

How's it going?

It's good to be my own master.

But?

I don't know. I'm not sure I should be
making this film. It's very subjective,

possibly even morbid.

Jack. And I hate to admit it, but Peter
isn't proving to be the ideal partner.

Anyway, I'll just get back to the
studio, check that everything's ready

tomorrow, and it won't be.

Good night, Evie. Good night, Jack.

And thank you for everything.

I gather Alexander has returned to
Italy.

Oh, thank goodness.

Does he even know he was here asking
after her?

Does that bother you?

A little.

Well, that's why this American trip
would be wonderful.

A complete change of scene.

Oh, Jack, I'm certain I'm doing the
right thing by her.

I know you are.

Certain, do you mean, or right?

Alice, you're perfectly happy with all
these arrangements, aren't you?

Yes, indeed.

When did this arrive?

It must have been a week ago his
lordship called, wouldn't it, Miss

I left it in your tray. I thought you'd
be sure to find it.

Alice, we'll continue our conversation
later. Thank you. Yes.

Evie, he arrived unannounced while you
were out.

I had no idea he'd left you a letter.

And it didn't occur to you at the time
to tell me that he was in London?

That he'd called on me?

I talked to Jack about it.

We thought you were getting over it.

I wasn't getting over it.

You and Jack had no right to interfere!

How can I decide what is best for me if
you keep things from me?

It's your right, of course.

But the truth about Alexander will only
hurt you more.

If there's anything I don't know,
whatever it is, please tell me. I have a

to know, please.

You think he resigned on a point of
honour because of you. Well, it's not

If he hadn't resigned, he would have
been sacked because he mishandled the

Soroyan affair.

He took the post in Italy in order to
salvage his career and on condition that

he took Elizabeth with him to...

Put paid to any talk of any divorce.

I don't believe you.

Evie, it's the truth.

Elizabeth told me.

When I confronted Alexander with it, he
didn't deny it.

I'm so sorry. I really didn't want you
to know.

This is a lie.

This is a lie to justify your
interference in my life. Why would we do

don't know why.

Maybe Jack would help.

Excellent. Thank you all.

Don't get so steamed up. The set should
have been ready for me. This is not the

first time this has happened.

Have some coffee and relax, will you?

I want a word with you anyway.

About young Faye.

Young Faye?

Very... Talented little actress,
wouldn't you say?

You know, I'd like to appear given a
bigger role, Jack.

Or perhaps her existing part could be
made more important.

Listen, if her part was any more
important, I would have to replace her.

Phoebe, how nice.

What's the matter? Jack, I need to speak
to you.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, excuse me, I was looking for Mr
Hanson.

Peter, I thought I'd surprise you.

Darling, this is Faye Leslie, a member
of the cast.

Pleased to meet you. How do you do?

My wife's shortly leaving for America,
Faye, with the House of Elliot. I'm a

mannequin, you see. Really?

Well, you'd better take me home,
darling.

Good night, Miss Leslie.

Good night, Mrs Hanson.

It's perfectly true. He told me himself
the reason he resigned.

And it wasn't because of me?

No.

Elizabeth used her influence to get in
the Rome appointment.

And he accepted her conditions.

Bea telephoned you this afternoon, Jack,
didn't she? She told you to say this.

Of course she didn't.

No, of course she didn't.

Did you see Jack?

Yes.

I'm sorry for not believing you.

You look so cold.

You

were

going to get me a better part.

You said I'd be made more important.

I tried.

But Jack, the director, Faye.

You don't carry much weight around here,
do you, Peter?

Now, Faye, let's just... Get me on that
trip to America as a mannequin.

And you can be sure our understanding
remains a secret.

But I don't want you in America.

I want you here.

I'll be back.

But if you let me down, I shall have to
have a little word in your wife's ear.

Good morning, Mr. Maddox. Good morning.
Peter, those burials are out here. I'm

really stuck if they're not here by
midday. All present and correct, sir.

Good.

Jack.

Mr. Maddox, do you know which one of
these you want yet? Uh, later.

We're doing well, aren't we?

Sorry, but it wouldn't pay.

You're happy with what we've done?

Yes, yes.

Good.

Look, Jack, our pal.

How would you feel like doing me a bit
of a favour?

A favour? What sort of favour?

Could you... Well, could you get Faye on
that tour of the States with the House

of Elliot?

No, no, I could not.

Of course you could.

Use your influence.

Do it, Jack.

For an old pal who's calling in a debt
of honour?

Faye drives a hard bargain, Jack. She's
put me in an awkward situation.

What do you say?

For old times' sake?

No. No, I don't interfere with my wife's
business in that way.

I see.

It's all very well to make pretty
speeches about owing a life to good old

but when it comes down to it, there's
nothing doing, is there?

Look, if she doesn't get her own way,
Faye's going to tell Liddy that she and

are... well... You are overstepping the
mark, Peter.

Jack, please!

All right, I will speak to her.

Why on earth would we do that? We can
only take two mannequins, Kitty and

Going. If you want to ingratiate
yourself with some actress, Jack, please

involve me.

It has nothing to do with me, except
that I owe Peter this favour.

Help me out!

I've completely misjudged the man. Our
partnership is turning into a disaster.

See, Fay is threatening to tell his wife
about their relationship.

He saved my life, but it's not so much
to ask in return.

Well, all right, if it'll help you out.

We'll have to drop Liddy from the tour.
Kitty has to go. She's the most

experienced.

Liddy will be disappointed.

Well, it does get Fay out of the
country. It gives Peter some sort of

coming to his senses.

I suppose that's true.

We'll just have to tell Liddy we need
her here.

What's the matter?

Miss Beatrice says they need me here, in
London.

They're taking another girl to America.

But she's never worked at the Mannequin,
Gibby. She's an actress in Mr Maddox's

film.

Could you take that to Anna, please?

Yes, Miss Elliot.

Forgive me, but I've seen the way Faye
Leslie hangs around the film studio.

I think all this needing me here is just
a ruse, isn't it? To do a favour for Mr

Maddox. No, Liddy, I promise you that's
not true.

Really, you mustn't think that. I can't
help thinking that.

What other explanation is there? It's
simply that... Well, as my sister

explained to you, we do need you here.

I'm sorry.

It must be very disappointing, but...

There it is.

Yes, Miss Elliot.

I'll be off then, Jack.

Sure you don't fancy a drink?

Quite sure, thanks.

Thanks a lot for what you did for Faye.

She's... Well, she's thrilled.

Look, just leave it, Peter, will you?

I'll see you tomorrow, then.

Good night.

Oh, they've finished with the data.

Nobody there except for Mr Maddox, I
think.

He's the man I've come to see.

We're old friends.

Reckon you best go in, then?

Straight through, sir.

Well, there you go. It's a bit dark in
there.

Many thanks.

Jack? George.

George Morton.

I'm sorry, old man.

I've startled you.

Are you all right?

I thought you were dead.

No, no, far from it.

What the place is this going on here?

Do you know I've been sat there trying
to work out exactly the same thing?

Come on, let's get out of here.

Thank you, Jack. That was wonderful.

Good.

Anyway, I had to deliver some
particularly fine artefacts to the

which meant spending a night in London,
so it seemed a good opportunity to look

you up. I'm very glad you did.

So, Evie wrote to you?

Yes.

The letter was forwarded to me in Crete,
together with this.

You remember?

Good God.

It seems that she had recently reunited
you with Peter Hanson.

And not content with that, well, here I
am.

Is this Evie?

No, no, that's her sister, Beatrice.

My wife.

Oh, forgive me, but if this lovely lady
is your wife, then why isn't she here?

Crazy, isn't it?

Hugh died, you know.

Yes, Ace, I heard.

That's very sad.

So you and Peter Hanson have formed a
partnership.

How's that going?

Well, to tell you the absolute truth,
George, I'm a little bit disappointed in

him. I'm beginning to think he's a bit
of a... Oh, good grief, Jack.

You don't mean to tell me it's taken you
this long to find that out.

The man's an absolute cat.

Hang on a minute. Whatever one may think
of him, he did save my life.

Jack, is that what he told you?

Good God.

Why are you laughing?

He left you for dead and he bolted like
a rabbit.

What? It was quite a dangerous thing to
do, actually. There was a lot of stray

stuff flying about that night.

I don't understand.

When I came to, there he was at my
bedside.

He'd been injured.

Jack.

It seems a pity to destroy your
illusions.

The fact is that when you were hit, you
were out for the count.

It was Hugh and I who carted you off to
find a stretcher crew.

Then, once you were in safe hands, we
headed back to the command post.

But Hugh... Hugh... He got hit.

And we both ended up being captured by
Jerry.

He was in such bad shape they
repatriated him.

So, Peter lied to me.

To you?

Probably to himself as well.

He's a casualty of war, Jack, but he's
not a hero.

So, people treat him with contempt
rather than the sympathy he deserves.

Poor devil.

I'm here to be measured.

Know how to tan, do you?

Pardon? You can tan properly, can you?
And walk correctly.

It's a lot more to showing off a dress
than just slipping it on, you know.

And buffing your eyelashes.

I'm an actress, dear, not just a cloak
horse.

Once I get to New York, you won't see me
for dust.

I'm just surprised at Mr Maddox, letting
you make such a fool of him.

We're ready for you now, Miss Leslie.

You got it wrong, dear.

It isn't Mr. Maddox I made a fool of.

I'm deeply embarrassed the man's a cheat
and a fraud to whom I owe absolutely

nothing.

He put me in an impossible situation. I
am so sorry for being such a gullible

idiot. You weren't to know.

If Evie hadn't got in touch with George,
I never would have known.

For some good came the reunion. Oh, yes.

I'm delighted to have made contact with
George again.

What if Faye tells Liddy about all this?

We can't prevent it. It's Peter's
problem, not ours.

Well, it means Liddy can come to America
now. If she still wants to.

Shall I go and ask her?

Yes. And if she does, will you tell
Anna?

And tell Faye.

I shall enjoy that.

Poor old Jack.

Where does this leave your partnership
with Peter?

I shall dissolve it.

What about your film?

I've finished, but I should never have
made it in the first place. The whole

thing was a mistake.

A fool's way of trying to come to terms
with the past.

Draw a line under that wall.

Are you sure?

Quite sure.

I haven't looked too much. I'll close
the studio.

I've accepted an offer from a German
producer.

I leave England on the Tuesday after
next.

That's the day after we leave for New
York.

Shall I see you before we go?

Plenty of tissue paper.

Here, mate.

Tilly, come in. What is it?

The thing is, Miss B and Miss Evie, I
can't go to America.

I feel really bad about letting you
down.

Tilly, you were so keen.

It's not that I'm not keen, Miss B. I'm
ever so keen.

It's just that I've fallen.

Fallen?

Tilly, you're pregnant.

Tilly, that's wonderful news.

Yes, miss.

I mean, me and Norman are that pleased,
you know, but it's early days now and he

doesn't want me going all that way, you
see, and taking the risk. No, of course

you mustn't.

Congratulations, Tilly.

Thank you.

So you think you're going to walk out on
me?

Believe me, it's for the best, Peter.

I've settled the outstanding debts.

Let's just say that it didn't work out
and part with no hard feelings, yes?

It's business with pay, isn't it?

Look, I'm sorry, Jack. I just wasn't
thinking clearly. Won't you accept an

apology?

I'm afraid it's not as simple as that.

You're saying I'm not cut out for film
production, is that it?

No, I'm not saying that, but not with
me.

Perhaps I'm not ready to run my own
studio yet, I don't know. Anyway, I've

accepted an offer.

Oh?

From a German film company. I'm going to
work in Berlin.

How can you do that?

The Germans are our enemies, Jack.

They killed and maimed our friends.
Where's your sense of honour?

Yeah, if it's a boy, you'll have to call
him Charles.

Oh, no.

Well?

Oh, I can tell by your face it's all
right.

America, here I come!

We're going to miss you, Matt. Oh, thank
you. We can tell that, Agnes,

by your stitching.

We seem to move further and further
apart.

It was happening before we separated.

One of us being in America and the other
in Germany is not going to make any

difference to us, is it?

So many areas of our lives which just
don't fit together.

Like me not wanting to have children?

It's your life. I have to accept that.

But it was going to be our life.

Well, don't be sad.

You've achieved so much. You're an
established and respected designer. The

of Elliot is a success.

Oh, yeah.

The House of Elliot must always come
first. You need it to be a success.

Do I?

Do I really want to go to America?

Of course you do.

I'm not sure that I do.

Does the idea of working in Germany
really appeal to you?

I take filmmaking seriously, that.

But do you want to go?

There's nothing for me here at the
moment, is there?

Come with us to America.

What? What a wonderful opportunity for
film.

It's too late. It could still be
arranged.

Yes.

I'm losing you, Jack, and I don't want
to.

Turn.

Did you read it?

No, I read it. I thought it wouldn't
make any difference, whatever it was.

Was it over then?

No.

It's over.

You shan't ever see him again.

Miss Elliot, before you leave... Miss
Elliot, thank you.

The talk's yesterday, you know that.

Have a pleasant trip, ladies. Thank you,
Mr Wynne.

Betty, Agnes, what are you doing in
here? Oh, please tell her to say goodbye

the girls. All right, just this once.
Come along.

Bye, have a

nice ride.

Bye. You take care, Finlay.

Oh, no, I don't believe it. I've
completely forgot to ask the Mayor to

picture postcard of the Statue of
Liberty.

England, just for a little while.

And hello, America. Hello, New York.

Do you

think he'll come?

I simply don't know.

Come on.

You still have expecting me, don't you?

Yes, I am.

Isn't it stupid?

Baby, don't look back.

Don't look back.
