Ripped By mstoll

Mr Selfridge.

Frank, what a great day. Peace at last.

The streets were full last night
like the armistice all over again.

Only better. This is a beginning, not an end.

And as a nation celebrates,
Selfridges will too.

We need something that...
That speaks to people.

Something that captures the mood.

So tell me, Head of Print and Public Relations,

what does the peace treaty mean
for the man on the street?

The first proper holiday for five years.

Perfect.

Trips to the seaside, picnics in the park...

Cricket and cream teas...

Britain on Holiday?

Britain at Play.

Brief the heads of the departments,
they'll have ideas.

And I want press and advertising everywhere.

- Good morning, Miss Plunkett.
- Good morning.

- Morning.
- Morning.

How much can I spend?

Whatever it takes.
I have shareholders snapping at my heels.

We need all eyes on Selfridges.

I'll talk to Mr Crabb.

Make sure that he's sitting down first.

You give it a bash. And again.

And then you cut its head off.

You don't mind taking him again, do you?

I've got no job to go to.
It's no trouble, honestly.

And we're getting on like a house on fire,
aren't we, Ernest?

I really am very grateful, George.

How is Mr Grove?

I haven't seen him.

Well, he must be missing his family.

It seems hard that kids always get shipped off
to aunties and the like when their mum...

I can take Ernest to see him.

Cheer them both up.

Emily, would you mind watching Ernest
for a moment?

George, may I have a word?

There's something I need to tell you
about Ernest

and Mr Grove.

I don't want to intrude.

How are you?

Well enough.

I bought this for my godson.

It goes at quite a speed if you wind it right up.

How thoughtful.

How are the children?

The girls are with their grandmother in Essex.

Arthur...

...as you know, and Jacob
are in Bristol with their aunt.

And Ernest

is still with Miss Mardle?

Mrs Crabb has knitted him a little cardigan

with a matching hat.

Perhaps I should give them to Miss Mardle.

Thank you.

Ladies,

Mr Edwards wants to hear your thoughts
for our Britain at Play event.

Mrs Edwards?

Girls want to put on powder and rouge
wherever they are.

We could offer portable
beauty and cosmetics.

- Miss Calthorpe?
- Er, we've got lots of new hats in.

They're getting much smaller.

Why, heads aren't shrinking, are they?

They're more practical
for motoring and golf.

A cocktail party, day out at the beach.

We've got sunhats...

Let's have a look.

While you're waiting...

Beauty could have a theme to display...

One of the first things the customer sees...

He'll be back in a minute.

I think this one, Connie.

- Yes.
- Miss Mardle.

- May I have a word?
- Oh, yes, of course, Mr Crabb.

Carry on, Connie. Yeah?

Mr Grove is back. Have you spoken to him?

No, he hasn't talked to me since, erm...

The night Ernest came to me.

Yes. Yes, I'm sorry.

Oh...

Well, it's not your fault.

Mrs Crabb made some clothes for Ernest.

Oh...

Oh!

She's in a knitting frenzy at the moment.

Ernest will have plenty of woollens for winter,

wherever he is by then.

Thank you, Mr Crabb.

I couldn't get a word in.

Standing there like a lemon.

Make an appointment with Mr Edwards.

Run things past him without
Queen Kitty there.

She'd have your guts for garters
if she heard that.

Mr Gordon!

I was just
helping Miss Calthorpe.

I wanted some wool.

I'll come back later.

Oh, my goodness.

Is Mr Selfridge in?

- Miss Webb?
- Thank you, Miss Plunkett.

Nancy, I wasn't expecting you.

I received a letter from
the Housing Department.

They'll give us the funding as soon as
we give them our full budget.

That's great, isn't it?

It means I'll be very busy.

Well...

Erm...

So, I've been thinking,

and I want to take a step back from us.

I mean, this was supposed to be
purely professional.

It's just about the estate, but...

We've been spending so much time together
I think I've lost perspective.

I wasn't expecting this either
but it doesn't make it wrong.

I need to focus on my work.

- If it's help you need...
- I'm quite capable...

- Or time...
- I need to stop thinking about you.

Take a step back.

Just until I get the job done.

Didn't realise I was such a distraction.

But if that's what you want...

Thank you.

Uh, once they have the budget,
then the funds should be here pretty soon.

You should secure services.

- That'll cost.
- Well, we can't wait.

Will 1,000 do it?

Yes.

Mmm-hmm.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

- Good evening.
- Good evening, Simmons.

One moment.

Victor?

Regan's men.

Everything all right?

Looking good.

So, you're a pilot, Mr Sibour?

Vicomte de Sibour.

You can call me Jacques.

Yes, I was a captain in the
French Air Force during the war.

Jacques was decorated for bravery
by both the French and the British.

And you're going to be working with
my son-in-law.

Jacques will make a series of flights
from one city to another.

My job will be to drum up
press interest and attract investment.

Then we can set up commercial flights
on the same routes.

And what about your plane?

Is getting that in the air part of your plan?

Erm, maybe one day,
but I have others to think of now.

I need to keep my feet on the ground.

Have you ever flown in a plane,
Miss Selfridge?

Yes, I loved it.

It's like a different world,

above the clouds.

Everything seems so far away.

Get out, the pair of ya. This is my club!

This is Regan's place!

Don't ever forget that!

You're bleeding!

Get the band playing.

Joe!

I need you to make sure this is cleaned.

- No glass. No glass.
- Yes, Elsa. Yes.

Make sure. All right?

I thought I could keep them apart.

Regan's room, my club...

But his lot will cause trouble whatever I do.

He needs to sort it out
and you've got to tell him.

Regan?

You know, when I first met you,
you said you had a dream.

You said you wanted to be
your own boss, remember?

So? What are you doing?

You haven't been running this place.

Too busy swanning around with
Violette Selfridge.

Don't.

Regan wants gambling? Fine.

I've worked the casinos

and you wouldn't believe the money that
changes hands if you get the right crowd in.

Reagan can't do that, but you...

You can...

...if you want to.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Dinner went well last night.

Mmm.

I thought Nancy might have joined us.

You two seem to have grown very close.

She called things to a halt
while we work on the estate.

Oh.

Some might think that she was being prudent.

Oh, I don't know.

Came right out of the blue.

We're getting on so well together.

Does her family know about you and her?

Well, she doesn't really have a family.

Well, there is a brother...

What's he like?

I haven't met him.

Pretty much always working.

That's not quite true, is it?

Unless you have a lot of overnight meetings.

If Nancy wants to do her job properly
without distraction,

good for her.

The estate will be finished soon enough.

And then you'll have all the time in the world
to get to know each other better.

Now, golfing outfits, er, walking skirts?

- Uh-huh.
- Good. Ah!

- Tennis dresses, here we are.
- Oh! Hold on a mo.

Miss Lenglen, Wimbledon champion.

Goodness, that's a short skirt.

With hardly any sleeves!

I like the silhouette.

- It's almost Coco Chanel.
- Ooh!

Mmm-hmm.

I've been reading those magazines
you lent me.

Oh, very good.
I've got some more at home that you can have.

Goodness, we must get a move on.
Look, we've got to tidy this...

Ooh, look!

Going flying?

We open shortly.

Oh, Mr Grove...

This looks like a church sale. Get it tidied up.

Excuse me a moment, Connie.

I need to talk to you.

Fourth floor.

Alistair's been with me for three weeks now.

He can't stay forever.

- He's just a year old.
- This is neither the time nor the place.

Then when are we to discuss this, Mr Grove?

I know you're angry with me.

But Ernest deserves better than this.

If you are determined to ignore him,
I must approach his natural father.

- Billy has a...
- Never mention his name

in my presence!

You're not yourself, Mr Grove.

And, goodness, you just lost your wife...

I lost her when she broke her marriage vows.

My life since then has been a lie
in which you have been complicit.

Ernest cannot be handed around
like lost luggage.

I counted you a friend.

Please leave my office.

Oh, yes.

Ah, just the man I wanted.
Monsieur Longchamp.

This is Mr Balotoff and Vicomte de Sibour.

Monsieur Longchamp is our head of display.

So, you're the chap
doing our aviation display.

Am I?

I wanted to talk to you about that.

Perhaps something in fashion.

I... I would like to look around.

A tour of Selfridges with a Selfridge.

Er, well, I'm actually a bit busy.

Oh, no, excuse me.

I mean with Rosalie.

- Oh.
- My pleasure.

Come on, Gordon.

There's going to be a raffle to win
a flight with Vicomte de Sibour.

So we'll need some sort of display.

- In fashion?
- Mmm.

And what has an aeroplane to do
with fashion?

What...

- Mr Gordon.
- Mr Crabb.

Erm, when you have a moment,
there's something I'd like to discuss.

A shame your sister wasn't able to join us.

Violette's not herself at the moment.

She's usually pretty lively.

Yes, Princess Marie told me she had
been in a little trouble?

She was going out to a club. Lots of girls do.

And she was arrested.

The club was raided, they arrested everyone.

She shouldn't have been there,
of course, but...

...she was seeing someone.

It's over now.

And Princess Marie shouldn't be gossiping.

Well, you know,
these are the mistakes of youth.

A storm that will blow itself out.

We're giving away 100 hampers.

Well, we'll certainly get attention.

Yes, but will it boost profit?

This event budget is extraordinarily high,
even for the chief.

It's all very well getting people in
to admire the show,

but the more we spend, the more they have to.

Oh, er, there's something else.

Er... I hope you won't mind...

Mrs Crabb asked me to pass these on to you.

It's about,

mature, educated women
happy to provide care of children.

For a man in your position,
they can act in loco parentis.

It must be very hard for you and the children,
being away from each other.

I do not wish my personal life
to be discussed.

My domestic arrangements need not
concern Mrs Crabb any further.

It was just a thought.

Gentlemen, thank you for coming.

Lord Loxley.

I'm sure you've seen Selfridges'
latest press campaign.

One could hardly miss it.

A very patriotic gesture.

Indeed.

It promises to be
the usual Selfridge spectacle.

As major shareholders,
perhaps we should pay a visit.

Lend our support.

Look at things from a business perspective.

Good idea, Loxley.

- Yes.
- Mmm.

George Towler!

Connie Hawkins. You scrub up well!

What are you wearing?

I was after Miss Mardle.

She's got some magazines for me on couture.

Oh, well, she's not back yet.

Hang on.

Come here, you little tinker!

This is Ernest.

Mr Grove's youngest.

I'm helping to look after him.

What?

You?

Looking after a baby?

Why not?

If you can sell frocks to posh ladies
without scaring them...

What, you can be a nanny?

Miss Mardle said you're doing
very well in fashion.

Mmm. Well, I try.

Er, I've got to give Ernest his tea in a minute.

Well, I won't keep you.

Tell Miss Mardle I called.

I'll get the magazines another time.

Nice seeing you, Miss Hawkins.

And you, Mr Towler.

Bye, Ernest.

What are you doing?

What does it look like?

Waiting for Harry Selfridge?

He won't be coming round again.

What?

I did what you said.

I told him I needed to take a step back.

You were right, I should never have
slept with him in the first place.

But you did.

And you can't just stop now.

I told you to get a grip on yourself,
not push him away!

We could lose everything.

I didn't say it was over.

I said we had to wait
until the estate was finished.

What did he say?

He wrote me a cheque.

｣1,000.

Clever girl.

He's really fallen for you, hasn't he?

We're so close now.

We just keep ahold of that dream.

America, you and me!

A life we've always wanted.

Huh?

Welcome to your
special preview of our biggest event,

Britain at Play.

With the peace treaty signed,

we felt we should celebrate
along with the nation.

Whether it's a day at the races, a picnic,

a game of golf or tennis,

or even a flight in an aeroplane...

At Selfridges, we have the best of everything.

Did I mention we have 100 packed hampers
ready to give away?

Gentlemen, if you'd like to follow me
to the fourth floor, please.

Pleasure flights remain the privilege of a few.

But this week, customers at Selfridges
can enter a raffle

to win a flight with the renowned aviator
Vicomte de Sibour.

All the money raised will go to
the Selfridge Estate Fund.

We have some very modern sporting wear.

And some very wearable outfits
for leisure and travel.

Gentlemen, if there are any further questions,
please come forward.

Gentlemen, please.

I've packed everything he needs.

Now, whatever you do,
don't lose yellow rabbit.

Thought I'd take him for a picnic

and a ride on the bus.

He'll love that.

Yeah. Let me go and get him for you.

George.

I wanted to say thank you
for looking after him.

And please, tell Miss Mardle

how one day I hope
I'll have a place of my own.

Then I can take him back for good.

There he is!

I hope you'll forgive me if
I'm speaking out of turn.

I'm just concerned.

Chiefly for Miss Calthorpe.

Are you...

...involved...

...romantically?

Our friendship is surely a private matter.

Private or secret?

I have a great deal of respect
for Miss Calthorpe.

I would never compromise her reputation.

You are Mr Selfridge's son.

You may choose from many paths in life,

Miss Calthorpe has only a few, at best.

You have a responsibility.

Your gambling room is scuppering my club.

They're a rough lot,
and they're starting to keep my lot away.

Colleanos could be closed in a month's time.

I do hope you're not going to disappoint me.

We could all be making a lot more money!

Now, let's say we lose the roulette
in the backroom.

We bring it out front,

we make Colleanos a gambling club.

And there's one thing that means big money.

Baccarat.

If we keep out the rough crowd,
make it exclusive...

A member's club?

Exactly.

See, I know a lot of rich people from when
I used to run the Palm Court at Selfridges.

We want high rollers.

No limits!

Higher stakes means a bigger bank.

Are you asking me for more money?

Yes.

And I'm giving you the chance
to make a lot more.

You're sticking your neck out here,
Mr Colleano

I know how to make money
my way.

But if you think you can do better,

I will want to see results, and fast.

Because if I don't,
my boys will shut you down...

...for good.

I'll take that as a yes, then.

Red is not your colour.

Green would suit you, or grey.

I'm not really looking.

You are drifting.

If you say so.

You are a little lost.

If you say so.

Well, when you tire of pretending
to look at dresses, I will buy you a drink.

I can tell you about my plane journeys.

Where I've been, where I'm going.

Perhaps you will feel a little less lost.

Mademoiselle.

Jacques was asking me about you.

Well, I do hope you told him
all about my shameful history.

- That should put him off.
- Actually, it didn't.

- So you did tell him?
- He knew anyway.

Will you stop gossiping about me?

And for god's sake, stop matchmaking!

I just want you to be happy.

What did Mr Crabb say?

He's just worried about tongues wagging.

I told him it was none of his business.

Never mind him.

We need a night out.

At Victor's or somewhere else.

Somewhere that isn't the storeroom.

George Towler.

Mrs Edwards, how are you?

Well, thank you.

Connie said she'd seen you.

I haven't been in here for a while.

- Do you miss it?
- Of course.

Well, you should think about coming back.

Connie said that you were out of a job

and the place hasn't been
the same without you.

Excuse me.

Mr Grove, could I have a word?

It's about Ernest.

Mr Grove, I'm going to have to insist.

Not here.

Miss Mardle! Miss Mardle!

Oh, goodness! We're all late home today.

I just want to say thank you

for looking after Connie.

Oh, it's my pleasure!

Must have the patience of a saint.

She's doing so well here.

Well, I'm glad I'm doing something right.

You've got Mr Grove's youngest
staying with you.

Erm, Connie told me.

Well, just for the time being.

And George is helping out?

Oh.

He's pretty much looking after
Ernest single-handed.

I tried it one weekend,

couldn't wait to get back to work.

I've often wondered what sort of mother
I would have been if I had had children.

I suppose if you've never had the opportunity,
it's very easy to daydream.

It turns out I'm rather lacking
in maternal instinct.

Perhaps work is the only thing
I'm any good at.

No, look how much you've helped Connie!

And all the other girls who've worked for you.

You've been the making of us.

Come on, I'll walk with you.

Miss Mardle told me.

About you and Ernest.

He's a lovely little chap.

Smart as a button.

I wouldn't say boo to a goose
when I was small.

My father was a drunk.

I was terrified of him.

That's why me and Agnes were so close.

She was all the family I had.

He may have been my father,
but he was no parent.

What is it that you want to ask me?

Ernest keeps saying these names.

I don't know who they are.

Arthur?

His brother, three years older.

Ella, or Millie?

Meryl, she's the oldest.

She used to help bath him
and get him dressed.

"Little mother," Doris called her.

Sometimes Ernest wakes up at night,

crying.

And when I comfort him, he points,

as if he wants to go somewhere.

So I carry him

from room to room.

Him pointing and looking.

And he says those names.

And "Mum."

And "Dada."

He's looking for his family, Mr Grove.

He's looking for you.

You've been very busy.

Well, there's a lot more to do.

Well, when this estate is finished
and your work is done,

we'll start over again.

There's a whole world out there
for us to explore.

Restaurants, galleries, theatre...

Just you and me.

Nancy?

I'm sorry.

Miss Calthorpe here can show you
all manner of finery.

Hello.

Gordon!

Oh, excuse me, ladies.

Look, Polly Maxwell Taylor.

She seems pleased to see him.

She's a nice girl.

What does Gordon think?

Mmm, he's spoiled for choice.

Eligible young men are thin on the ground.

They're a good family.

You know Lady Maxwell Taylor's
a charitable one too.

Oh, yes, a stole.

I won't speak about it.

This is the ideal place to start.

Look, isn't it adorable?

Mother would have a fit.

It is one
of our more modish hats.

Gordon, what do you think?

Topping.

That settles it. Tell the girl I'll take it.

I can wear it to the regatta,
cause a stir!

- Miss Calthorpe...
- Of course.

Now, I want to see this exciting aviator.

Your family seems to collect them.

I'll do it.

Take five minutes, wash your face,
come back, no one will know any better.

Loxley, we weren't expecting you.

Mr Barratt, Mr Lowe.

As shareholders we thought we'd see
for ourselves what's being done for us.

Is Selfridges selling cars now?

It's just a talking point.

Once the imagination is moved,
the hand automatically goes in the purse.

"Win a flight in a plane."

More expense?

- The flight is a gift.
- From my son-in-law's business partner.

Oh, family and business, never too far apart.

And all proceeds from the raffle
go towards the Selfridge estate?

Mmm.

Forgive my ignorance, but you have to
explain to me how this works

in business terms.

And a hundred hampers you're giving away?

Er, Britain at Play, it's just the first step.

You'll see the next one soon enough.

Oh, then we can expect profits
and dividends to soar.

Well...

Thank you, Selfridge,
that's enough.

May I ask what is the next step?

Something we've never done before.

It's bold, aggressive.

I'll need your advice.

Mr Crabb.

Sorry to trouble you,
might you still have those magazines?

For the female help?

Yes. Yes, I'll get them now.

Er, thank you!

It's the moment you've all been waiting for.
The raffle draw!

Who will win a flight with Vicomte de Sibour?

Here we go.

And the lucky winner is...

Violette Selfridge!

Go on, they want a photograph!

Thank you, but I can't accept.

Please draw again.

My word is final.

I insist.

Very well.

Then my flight with you will be a gift.

Promise me you will accept.

I promise.

Good.

You draw.

I'm sorry.

Polly... Polly is a nice girl, really, when...

When you get to know her.

And how would I do that?

At a regatta or a charity luncheon?

Or would she come around to my room
and have pilchards on toast,

sitting on my bed?

This'll never work, you and me.

I'll tell my father about us.

All right?

Take you home, meet my family.

I've already met them.

I'm the girl who sells them hats.

I'm sorry, it's over.

This has to stop.

But, Grace...

I'd like to speak to George Towler.

Yes, of course. Please come in.

Thank you.

George, Mr Grove is here to see you.

- Good evening, George.
- Mr Grove.

I, erm...

I've made arrangements
for all my children to return home.

Whatever the difficulties, they...

...belong with me.

What about Ernest?

He is not to blame for his mother's sins.

I want him to come home to his family.

- I'll get him ready.
- Thank you.

I can't believe I was about to
give up on all of this.

And now

you have Regan eating out of your hand.

Thank you.

For what?

For sticking by me.

What are we playing?

You tell me.

I thought you might be out.
Sergei and Rosalie have gone to the theatre.

With Jacques? No, thanks.

Rosalie is trying to pair us up.

Hmm. Would that be so bad?

No, I forgot,

I'm the damaged goods
that no one else wants!

I should be grateful that any man
would look at me.

I can't even hold down a job
so I really should focus on getting married.

What job?

Nancy sent me a note,
thanking me for my hard work.

I'm no longer needed.

- When?
- Yesterday.

Not that it was a real job,

working for my father's mistress.

She's not my mistress.

Could have fooled me.

Nancy means a lot more to me than that.

Well, I hope you told her.

You used to have quite a reputation.

She must know. Everyone else does.

I know that you've been very hurt by Victor,
but you will get over him.

No, I won't.

Because I'm not giving up on him.

When you love someone,
you don't just walk away.

- Mr Grove.
- He's only just woken up. God bless him.

Daddy!

Come on, then.

Oh! Ah!

There we go.

Nancy!

- Look...
- I need to talk to you.

Harry, I've said everything there is to say.

Well, I haven't, so please just hear me out.

This hasn't been some casual affair for me.

Look, you barely know me.

It's been a whirlwind romance,
but I've learned so much about you.

You're not always as strong
as you pretend to be.

When you're unhappy, you hide it.

And if I knew you better, I'd know why.

I need to show you
how much you mean to me.

What...

Nancy, will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes, I will.

I will!

Mmm.
