All language subtitles for Mr Selfridge.S04E05.720p

Cut!

I've always wanted to do that.

Harry, I can't dance
in these shoes.

Can I pick some new ones?

I'll need some too.

Mine pinch just the same.

Mr. Wallace.

A quick picture.

Meryl, ready?

Stand in between the chief
and Mr. Wallace.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Smile, Meryl!

Smile!

Come on, you're a film star now!

Hardly!

I'm just in the background.

Don't do yourself down.

You're an example
to the staff.

Young and ambitious,

everything Selfridge's
stands for.

She has a very
bright future ahead of her.

Thank you, chief.

Mr. Wallace.

No problem at all.

It's our pleasure.

Excuse me.

Mr. D'Ancona,
this is unexpected.

Mr. Selfridge.

You should have made
an appointment.

It's a little
chaotic here.

I'm incredibly proud of you.

To have been chosen
out of the whole store.

I just hope I'm
putting on a good show.

You certainly are.

Meryl, one cannot simply
drop everything just because...

Roger!

I've just been up
to your office.

What's she doing here?

Meryl, I...

This way.

Harry»-

Now is not a good time.

Oh, all right.

I'll see you later, though.

We had arranged a meeting,

Mr. Selfridge.

I waited,
but you didn't arrive.

My sincere apologies.

I had a family emergency.

And then you didn't pay me.

Mr. Selfridge?

Oh, I'm sorry,

but you're needed
downstairs.

The Dolly Sisters.

I'm afraid
I have to go.

Perhaps I can honor a first
installment to tide you over.

I want what I asked for:
The amount in full.

What's the problem?

Look, I own one of the biggest
stores in the world.

There's no need to treat me
like a boy who owes for smokes.

Your stature
doesn't make you safer.

It makes you
more of a liability.

Why don't you make an
appointment with my secretary?

There's a good fellow.

Mr. Selfridge.

No more meetings.

I've made myself clear.

I have an appointment
with Wynnstay today.

Pulling the advertising
from his papers

is a big mistake.

He hurt my family.

I beg you to reconsider.

This situation
is all my fault.

What happened
with Flic and me...

What you did
was reprehensible.

Then let me fix it.

I can get a retraction,

set the record straight
for Rosalie.

I want a page one retraction
and my family off limits,

or I pull
the advertising.

Is that clear?

I'll do my best.

You better had.

Oh, Mr. Selfridge,
what a relief.

I don't want to be
the bad one!

She gets to seduce Bumby Wallace
whilst I have to pilfer?

Holy cow, Jenny Dolly,

just do what it says
in the photoplay.

You work as a double act:

One steals while
the other distracts.

You're both bad news.

I suppose the bad ones
are the fun ones.

Come on, Jenny,
let's go and recap our steps.

We are running behind
because of them!

Our costs are soaring.

Just do what you can
to keep them on track.

I beg that you
remain nearby.

The sisters' behavior
is excitable.

They respond well to you,
and only to you.

Wasted time is wasted money.

Oh, heavens!

No, together, ladies, please!

I'm so sorry about the way
Meryl found out.

I'm so sorry about the way
Meryl found out.

She's very upset.

And your other children,
have you told them?

Yes.

Last night.

Are you still at the hotel?

I am, yes.

How long are you staying
in London?

I don't know.

I wondered if you might stay
with Mr. Crabbe,

since he was the one

who invited you back.

Arthur was genuinely worried
about you.

He didn't know what else to do.

He could have done nothing.

Have either of you
considered that?

Oh, Roger,
I couldn't have stayed away...

I appreciate your wanting
to help, really, I do.

But we made a clean break
seven years ago.

It wasn't as simple as that.

Thank you.

Look, I can't revisit
all this.

Not now, not here.

Then perhaps we could meet
somewhere privately.

Mr. Selfridge demands
a page one retraction

of the story
about his daughter.

I'm sorry to have hurt
Mrs. De Bolotoff.

I did try to apologize
personally.

We'd appreciate it
on the front page.

For Mrs. De Bolotoff's sake,
I'll make sure it's done.

Mr. Selfridge
also requests

that all stories
about his family

be off-limits from now on.

You're a newspaper man, Frank.

You know that's impossible.

If you refuse, Selfridge's
will withdraw all advertising

from all your newspapers.

You'd never do that.

May I remind you our advertising
budget is quite large.

My dailies have the highest
readership in the country.

Mr. Selfridge is very protective
of his family.

Now, if he wants
to take me on,

he can do it himself

and not send his flunky.

Now get out.

Mr. Selfridge,
this has just come in.

A recent gambling bill

charged to you
by J. And R. Dolly.

I will deal with this.

Bad day?

Tiring.

Is everything
all right, Frank?

Of course,
why wouldn't it be'?

You just seem a bit
out of sorts lately,

that's all.

Since you got back
from France.

What's France got to do
with anything?

I've been thinking
about what you said

when you got back.

About family
and us having children.

Did you really mean it?

Yes.

It's just...

Well, it has rather come
out of the blue

and I thought we were happy

as we were?

We are, but...

But what?

I just wonder
if we're being selfish.

If there's more to life.

Well, it's different for you.

You're a man,

and I'd have
to leave my job.

We never properly discussed
the Elizabeth Arden offer.

It was just dismissed
out of hand.

Yes, of course, Elizabeth Arden,
how could we forget?

She'll need an answer,
Frank.

Have you ever thought

that we're too wrapped up
in ourselves

to notice that
we're drifting apart?

You don't mean us.

You mean me.

That was unfair, Kitty,
I'm sorry.

Almost ready.

Rosie, I need to...

I need to talk to you
about this bill.

You did say
you'd cover our credit.

Well, I didn't expect you
to be so outrageous.

It's a lot of money.

If you want us
to pay you back...?

No, Rosie,
you're missing the point.

You gals need to take this film
more seriously.

All the hullabaloo
from earlier today...

I know.

Jenny can be such a nightmare.

I'll talk to her.

The delays are because of you,
which is costing me money.

You do know
we don't take it for granted,

what you're doing for us.

I don't take it for granted.

This will mean a lot to Rosalie.

And he agreed
to back off my family?

No more lies or gossip
about them?

On that, he was less amenable.

What did he say?

I just wouldn't push him
on this one, chief.

What do you mean?

Good morning.

Hello, Mr. Edwards!

Mrs. De Bolotoff.

We'll discuss this
later, Frank.

Well, that is
nice to see.

I'm going to make sure that
this never happens again

to any of my children.

How on earth
will you do that?

Don't you worry about that.

I can make Wynnstay play ball.

Room for a little one?

Mind if I join you?

Something wrong?

Oh George,
I'm in ever such a pickle.

Admiring my handiwork?

Yes, from a safe distance.

Next stop,
Selfridge's Picture Company.

I don't think so.

Though I hear Jimmy's investing
in property for cinemas?

Gadding about up north
as we speak.

Yes, searching
for his next investment.

Does that work for you?

Oh, yes.

You know me, Harry.

I love a good time, but I'm
concentrating on me right now.

I love my work here.

Forgive the intrusion,
Harry,

but when I came into your
office yesterday, that man...

So who's he?

My gaming agent.

Things seemed
a little tense.

He's making a small
nuisance of himself,

but everything
will be fine.

Where are the Dolly Sisters?

We should be filming.

Oh, I think I saw them
in Fashion.

Shopping?

Well, it was all
rather anarchic.

I'll leave that with you.

Unbelievable.

A job offer
from the Elizabeth Arden?

In America?

I'm to reply by the end
of tomorrow, or the job goes.

How does Frank feel
about all this?

He has no interest in New York.

He's talking
about starting a family.

Out of nowhere!

Why would he suddenly
want a baby?

How do I know?

Well, you're a man,
you must have some idea.

Well, when Connie told me
she was pregnant,

it was the happiest day
of my life.

What about your wedding day?

Didn't come close.

I wouldn't tell Connie that.

I can't answer for Frank,

but I've always got along
with kids.

Comes natural to me.

But I don't think him
wanting a baby

is a bad thing.

I think it means he loves you.

Yeah.

Maybe I've been selfish,
always putting work first.

Do you still love him?

More than anything in the world.

Then you need to be talking
to him, not me.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I had to manage an issue
in the fashion department.

I was just discussing
the cinema window display.

Just keep in mind
that our displays

make us into the landmark
that we are today.

People come from all around
just to see our windows.

Frank, can you provide
the right publicity?

Our usual spots with The Mail,
The Mirror...

The London Herald?

Yes, all of Lord Wynnstay's
papers.

Really?
As usual.

How are plans for the
after-party going, Mr. Lyons?

Oh, swimmingly.

We've got Victor Colleano

bringing his club night
to Selfridge's.

"A Night with the Stars."

A private party
with lots of prominent people.

All the costs to go
on my Chairman's Account.

Thank you all very much.

Frank, a quick word?

How are things at home
after Flic and the article?

I'm ashamed, Harry,
no mistake.

I know your shame.

I don't have a wife
to make it up to.

You do.

I want you to ask Kitty
to the party tomorrow.

I'm not sure.

You need to find a way to make
your marriage strong again.

You concentrate on that

and I'll deal
with Lord Wynnstay.

Chief...

We need to thrash it out
face to face.

Men like us,
we know how to get along.

Hello!

What are you doing
down here?

Trying to get a look
at Bumby Wallace!

Oh, look!

Connie!

You're starting
to show.

Can l...?

There's a baby in there.

I know.

It's starting to feel
more real now.

You'll be leaving soon.

Are you going to miss this?

The store?

No, because deep down,
it's what I've always wanted:

To be a mother.

You're in a funny old mood.

I'm fine.

You should get back
upstairs.

Yeah.

Go on!

All right, bossy britches.

How did we let it
slip through our fingers?

We loved each other,
didn't we?

Yes, of course we did.

That was the simple part.

It was the rest
that was complicated.

I've had years
to think about it.

At the time,
I was angry with you.

I thought you gave up
too easily.

I ran away.

There you go, I've said it.

I'd always been a lone woman.

A big family
was overwhelming.

The children
had lost their mother,

and their little faces
all turned to me.

Meryl was so angry,

so resentful at this new woman
in her father's life.

I didn't help,

trying to rush a new marriage
on you, on them.

You just thought marriage
would fix it.

You didn't want to see
your children in pain.

It was all so raw.

I left you all,

and if I could do things
differently, I...

Please forgive me, Roger.

Is that why you're here?

To ask forgiveness?

No, that's not why I'm here.

I was going to retire.

Be with my children.

Enjoy my last years.

I'm so afraid.

I know, I know.

Slowly now, Roger,
do step carefully.

Thank you, Josie,
for listening.

For everything.

I'm sorry, I'm exhausted.

I know.

Good night.

Good night.

Is he all right?

He's just going up to sleep.

Did something happen?

We talked.

It was difficult.

We both got a bit upset.

Would you like some tea?

Good old British tea.

Meryl, I can't tell you
how sorry I am

that you found out
the way you did.

It's been quite a shock,
but it's better we all know.

I think we both know your father
has a way of avoiding

anything unpleasant.

Like how he avoided
how beastly I was being to you

before you went away.

Oh, you were a child.

And I didn't leave
because of you.

Please know that.

It was everything.

Your father
isn't the only one

to avoid difficult
situations, Meryl.

I discovered an unhealthy streak
of cowardice in myself

at the time.

Are you going back to New York?

Oh, I shall stay
as long as your father needs me.

No.

Even if he says
he doesn't want you to stay.

Oh, my dear Meryl.

I'm not going anywhere.

Look, you see?
Cartoons being sent by wire.

Ridiculous!

I don't know
why I take this paper.

There's no actual news in it.

You seem bright.

I don't remember
the last time I slept so well.

Maybe your talk with Miss Marple
did you some good?

She stayed

for a cup of tea
last night.

I invited her

for dinner tonight.

Did you?

I'm sure the children
would love to see her.

Apparently,
she's not leaving London.

She isn't?

Well, that's what
she said to me.

Would you like a boiled egg?

Can you boil an egg?

Well...

I can try.

Ah!

I thought I'd
see you soon.

I want stories
about my family off-limits.

Me, fine.

I chose this life, they didn't.

You have to understand,
Wynnstay.

No, you have to understand,
Selfridge.

I am not your puppet.

We both know

that you can't afford to lose
my advertising contract.

Is that so?

Mm.

Look, I'm hosting
a party tonight.

Why don't you come?

Now that we both
understand each other.

We understand each other
perfectly.

It's reassuring to know

that money still talks.

Find Flic.

Send her to me.

And cut!

That's a wrap!

Thanks, Bumby.

Mr. Crabbe.

I'm glad I've seen you.

I'm afraid I'm about to leave
for a meeting.

Well, I just...

I wanted to clear the air,
say I'm sorry.

I know perfectly well
why you called Miss Marple.

You said it was
unforgivable.

Arthur, there isn't
a bad bone in your body.

In fact, I need to thank you.

Josie and I had a rather
good talk last night.

I'm glad.

She might even stay in London.

Whatever has passed between you,
I do know this:

She is devoted to you, Roger.

Always has been,

always will be.

About this film
party tonight,

I came to ask if you'd do me
the honor of accompanying me?

I thought things have become
distant between us?

"The glamorous Edwards' went out
onto the town last night,

"all eyes on them,

she in a million dollar dress,
he in a luxury tuxedo."

If you insist.

Come.

Ah, here she is.

London's most feared reporter.

What can I do for you, sir?

Do you want to go
to a party tonight?

I need you to do
some digging.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Sorry I'm a little late,
Mr. Keen.

Mr. Crabbe.

We could've met at the store.

Better here.

As you know,
the Civic Building Society

have recently acquired more
shares in the Selfridge Group.

Indeed.

It's my job to encourage

a more transparent
relationship between us.

There's some concern about
Mr. Selfridge's lavish spending.

There's been concern about that
for 20 years.

Quite.

I've noted that

the chairman's account
is very much in the red.

There have been a lot
of expenses lately.

Trip to France, the film,
tonight's party...

Recent gambling bill, too.

Rather big.

He does seem to blend

his personal
and professional expenses.

Actually, Mr. Selfridge

is very much aware
of the situation.

He asked me to put a hold

on the chairman's
account today.

You're very loyal,
aren't you?

To Mr. Selfridge.

I'm an old dog on along road.

Rest assured, I know exactly
where you're coming from.

Good evening, madam.

Welcome!

Why thank you,
young sir.

Good evening, Miss
Marple, nice to see you again.

Oh, there you are.

Thank you.

Ernest!

You'd better take the lady's
hat and coat.

Oh, right.

The Grove Restaurant
is open

especially for you,
Miss Marple.

Thank you.

Oh, my goodness.

This was their idea.

Thank you.

Allow me.

They come in,
names taken at the door,

walk along here.

This area is roped off
for hacks and whatnot.

Then they go up.

Smooth operation here,
George.

It's funny working
together again.

It feels like old times.

How long before the chief
gets here?

Any minute now.

Harry, what are you doing here?

I wanted to pick you up,
escort you to the party myself.

I'm not ready.

Is there someone in there?

Of course not.

Excuse me.

Mr. Wallace.

Harry, wait.

Come to the party,

but for God sakes, behave.

Keep professional
and stay away from me.

I feel like an old fool, Mae.

They've been
bleeding me dry.

And what did you expect?

Bumby Wallace is
a bona fide film star.

And those sisters,
they are as ambitious as hell.

I've been blinded.

Not by love, that's for sure.

Kick a guy when he's down,
why don't you?

I don't think
I can face this party.

Oh, stop it,
of course you can.

We're going to go downstairs,
and you're just going

to keep those sisters
on a short leash.

I'm not gonna let them pull
the wool over my eyes again.

That's the spirit.

So come on, let's get up.

Your illustrious guests await,
and even Jimmy's coming,

so we can all let our hair down.

These are marvelous.

Aren't they?

I shall be taking photographs
of all of you.

We should make
some family albums.

That's a good idea.

Miss Marple, would you like

to take a turn
around the garden?

Yes, I'd love to.

Here, let me.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you for coming.

And for bringing me home
last night.

I'm very glad
you're feeling better.

You know, I am.

I can see more clearly
how things were complicated.

It has been a magical
evening tonight, Roger.

Thank you.

No, thank them.

They are a credit to you,
they really are.

I think now
I can look ahead.

I intend to make the most
of what time I have left.

I'm very relieved
to hear that.

I'm thankful that things

are no longer left unsaid
between us.

Oh, hush, hush, hush.

It's all been settled.

Well, one matter hasn't.

I feel if I don't ask
this question,

I will always regret it.

Will you be with me, Josie?

Will you be my wife?

Don't agree because I'm dying,

or out of pity for me
or the children.

I'm aware that
if you take me on,

you take them on too.

I take them on
with all my heart.

I put this in my pocket
just in case.

You haven't said yes.

Yes.

It's nice to be on your arm,
like when we first stepped out.

I know I threw you
with all that baby talk.

I just wanted us to think
about it one last time.

If I gave up work
to be a mother,

would you still love me?

I'd love you just the same!

I love you more than anything
in the world, Kitty Edwards.

Then let's do it.

Let's try.

What about the Elizabeth
Arden offer?

I think I've got a better one.

Lord Wynnstay!

Have some bubbles.

Thank you.

Ladies and gents!

As I look out,
I see the finest actors,

artists, journalists, poets,

and I think, "Thank God
I'm not paying for all this!"

Here's to the man who is.

Thank you.

Forgive our interruption,

but we had to do something
for our sweet Harry.

We know he can't resist us!

We hope he'll forgive us
for being so naughty.

Dear God.

I have a feeling tonight
will yield a story.

The man's his own
cannon fodder.

Frank...

This wasn't really what I meant
by a short leash.

Get them off that stage
and out of the store.

Yes, sir.

Come on, ladies,
off the stage.

Apologies for that
unscheduled diversion.

I hope you've got
your dancing shoes on!

Ladies and gentleman,
Colleano's house band!

Harry?

Come on.

The night is young.

Mm-hmm.

Mrs. Edwards?

Felicity Jenner... Flic.

I work a lot with your husband.

Pleased to meet you.

Which paper do you work for?

I didn't expect you to be
so beautiful.

Champion party!

We've only just got over
the last one Selfridge laid on.

In France.

Oh, you went to France?

A whirlwind of glamour.

We all had
a lot of fun.

Ask Frank.

Would you excuse me,
gentlemen?

Has something happened?

Did that woman
say something to you?

Who? Flic?

She said she didn't expect me
to be beautiful.

That's nice,
to get a compliment.

Why would she suspect
otherwise?

Why would she have
any expectation at all?

U...

She's just a hack.

Typically nosey.

Sounds like you all had
quite a time of it in France.

Tell me, when you got back,

suddenly you wanted
to start a family.

Why did you say that?

We both want a family.

No, you suggested it.

We didn't want children
before that.

Why did you suggest it?

I realized
I might want a family.

Really?

Just like that?

Out of nowhere?

I was confused.

I thought it might...

...repair things.

Repair things?

How?

How?

Kitty, I'm so sorry.

Kitty, I'm so sorry!

You slept with that woman,
didn't you?

So, all that talk about a baby
had nothing to do with love

and everything to do with guilt!

I beg you, come...

Come home and
let's talk about this.

I'm just a foolish man.

Until I decide what I want,
the spare room is yours.

For now,
we continue the charade.

Our boss is out there.

Everything we've built
over the last 12...

12 years.

The position that I've reached.

I'm not having you destroy it

on account of you being
a foolish man.

So get back down there

and pretend to be the good
husband that you're not.

Look who I found.

Ah!

I hope you've kept out
of trouble whilst I was away?

Actually, it was Harry.

Actually, it was Harry

who got himself
into a couple of a scrapes.

I survived.

Just.

Excuse me.

See you later.

Of course.

I missed you.

Would've been nice
to have you with me.

Jimmy, I've been a wife
and a lady of leisure.

I make my own way now,
like you.

Mae!

I nearly mistook you
for a movie star there.

Flatterer!

Join me round the piano?

We're having a bit
of a sing-song.

Ah!

No, I think we're quite
comfortable here.

No, I haven't sung in ages!

Oh, please say you'll come
and join us, Jimmy?

Singing's not my thing.

Maybe after,
or something?

No, no, I'm coming now.

Play "The Mischief."

Yes!

I'll start.
