All language subtitles for Hotel - S02E02 - Flesh and Blood

Don't you think I should alert the staff
that he's coming?

Oh, no, no.

It's best that everyone act naturally.

Go on about business as usual.

I'd love to know how you're staying so
calm.

Being interviewed by the critic from
Holiday Life is not an everyday event.

Don't be fooled by this placid exterior.

Inside, the butterflies are playing ping
-pong.

Yes, please.

Can you tell me where to find Owen
Lloyd?

Oh, that name sounds familiar.

Lloyd Photography?

Yes, that's it. In the arcade
downstairs.

Thanks.

This is Mr. Dwyer. I'm in the Cambridge
suite.

I'd like to make a dinner reservation
for three.

Eight o 'clock.

Thank you.

Joker, why we didn't take the earlier
flight? I hate rushing like this.

Stephanie, lighten up, will you,
darling? Everything's going to be just

Preston, will you please stop telling me
how to feel?

Do you have any idea what it's like to
be halfway through your life and you

discover you have a sister you never
knew about?

Yes.

Oh, Mr. Harmon, how are you?

Well, I'm very well, thanks.

I'm looking forward to it, too, yes.

Ernie's for drinks at seven tonight?

Uh, sure.

Sure, I'd love to.

Okay, fine. Well, I'll see you there,
then.

Bye -bye.

For heaven's sake, couldn't you leave
the business alone for one weekend? This

was supposed to be a time for you and
your sister to get to know each other. I

know, Preston. Meeting my sister is
important to me, but...

Do I look all right? Perfect.

I know I'm early, but I couldn't wait.

Hi.

I'm Preston. Paula Todd.

Hi. I could have picked you out in a
crowd.

Hello.

Hi.

You're beautiful.

It runs in the family.

When I was 15, I remember I had a date,
and I was angry because I didn't have

the right bag to match my shoes.

I remember wishing I had a sister to
borrow one from.

I'm sorry we missed all that.

Maybe we could make a late start.

Well, good morning.

I'm Kelly.

Kelly Braden.

Can I speak to Mr. Lloyd, please?

Oh, your friend was right. You are very
beautiful.

Thanks.

But that's not going to find me a place
to stay.

Don't you worry about a thing.

I'm going to get you a room right here
in this hotel.

And Monday, Monday, we're going to go
look for an apartment.

And maybe a car, okay?

Well, sure, that sounds great.

But, um, we gotta do something about
those clothes.

You might be able to pick up some of
Ralph's college kid in that outfit, but,

uh, I just don't think it'll do for the
clients that you're gonna meet through

me.

I'm sorry, I don't have that many
clothes.

Um, Helen, would you take Kelly to the
boutique?

Sure. I want you to pick out some real
nice things.

Here.

I think you and I are going to do real
well together.

Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon. I'm
Alexander Heath.

I wonder if you'd be good enough to
inform Mrs. Cabot that I've arrived.

possible that she might want to... That
she might want to welcome you in person,

Mr. Heath.

I'm glad to look out.

Welcome to the St.

Gregory's. Delighted to meet you, Mrs.
Cabot. Oh, Victoria, please.

Victoria.

I've been looking forward to this for
quite some time.

Oh, we're all very pleased that Holiday
Life has chosen to do a cover story on

the St. Gregory. No more than I, I
assure you.

It's so lovely.

There are only a few bastions of
understated elegance left in the world,

Victoria.

Establishments such as this where...

Charm and grace and dignity are the
benchmarks by which all other

institutions... Good afternoon, Mrs.
Cabot.

Magician's Convention.

I don't have experience, you know.

I mean, the kind of experience that... I
know.

Your friend Monica told me all about it.

Your boyfriend moved out.

You lost your job.

The eviction.

You didn't have a very good week, did
you, darling?

I just need to earn a little money.

Oh, you will. You will. You're going to
be very, very popular.

It's just temporary, you know.

I'm throwing a little party tomorrow
night upstairs in one of the suites.

It's going to be your coming out party.

What are you doing?

I told you I need a few pictures for my
album.

a very refreshing addition.

Raise your head, Kelly.

Thank you. They're lovely.

What are you thinking?

She's very nice, isn't she? Oh, she's
lovely, yes. Very.

She reminds me of you. Preston, please,
don't paw me.

I was trying to be affectionate.

Stephanie, I love you.

I need to touch you to be close.

You don't let me breathe.

You've got to give me time.

Time? It's been two years since we've
made love.

I can't go on hoping, pretending that
one day you'll just come to my bed. I'm

sorry. I'm sorry I'm late.

I have to take a bath.

Stephanie.

You can't wash it away.

Can I have some sugarless bubblegum,
please?

Hi.

Oh, hi.

Did you find the photography shop okay?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Does Lloyd always pay his models in
cash?

What?

A hundred dollar bill. I figured you
just did a session.

Yes, yes, I did.

I was wondering, do they let you keep
the clothes, too?

Look, are you a cop or something?

No. Could have fooled me.

Miss, you forgot your bubble gum.

Oh, Billy.

Hey, what's up?

What do you know about Lloyd photography
down in the arcade?

No more than you.

Been around a number of years. Father
and son operation.

Lloyd Sr. passed away a few months ago.

His son's running it by himself now.

Well, nose around a little, okay? See
what you can find out.

I got a hunch the juniors decided to
branch out.

That'll be enough, sir.

Well, at least we won't starve.

Sorry about that.

The downside of being married to a
workaholic.

Oh, it looks like it has its rewards.

Like what?

I don't know. You and Stephanie seem to
have everything.

Sounds like something out of a fortune
cookie.

Well, you are very lucky.

She's lovely.

And successful.

Well, isn't she lucky, too?

I mean, I'm lovely and successful.

A coffee, Miss Todd? Oh, thank you.

Hello?

Oh, hi.

Of course, I understand.

Don't worry.

Yes, I'll tell him.

Well, he's right here. Would you like
to... No.

All right.

Yes, I'll give you a ring in the
morning.

Bye -bye.

Business is taking longer than she
planned.

Looks like it's you and me.

The way you want.

I just wanted to make sure you're all
right.

That the room is okay.

And that you got everything that you
need.

I'm fine, but it's a little late.

I took the liberty of ordering drinks.

Mr. Lloyd, please. I'm very tired.

What are you doing?

It's part of my policy, darling.

I make it my personal business to make
sure all of my girls are experienced.

And that they know the ropes and know
how to please a customer.

It's part of the deal, baby.

I guess I'm just a little bit envious.

Buying antiques sounds a lot more
exciting than sitting behind a desk all

juggling numbers.

Don't envy me, Paula.

Between the business and Preston and our
son Stephen, I hardly have any time I

can call my own anymore.

Have you ever thought about trying to
find our mother and father?

There was a time I thought about it a
lot.

Right now, I can't afford to dredge up
any old hurts.

Good morning, all.

Good morning.

My apologies if I'm interrupting
anything profound.

Paula was just telling me that the two
of you had a very nice get -acquainted

dinner. Yes, we did.

She now knows everything there is to
know about building boats.

And I, on the other hand, have the
inside scoop on how this hotel keeps its

books. Doesn't sound very exciting, does
it?

I had a terrific time.

Well, I hope maybe the two of you can
keep each other company for a few more

hours this afternoon.

Harmon is still waltzing me around. I
have to drive to Oakland.

Stephanie, I thought that we were...
Well, it's just for a few hours.

Besides, you and I have a whole lifetime
to catch up with each other, right?

Of course, I understand.

You know, he hasn't been to San
Francisco in years. Why don't you show

of the sites he's forgotten?

Sounds good to me.

How many hotels are there left in the
world that still take the trouble of

finishing their pancakes Oscar with a
marshmallow meringue?

Or to egg chasseur, Bolovan.

Oh, that's very kind of you, Alexander.

I'll tell Chef Maurice. He'll be
thrilled to know that you approve.

Excuse me. Mrs. Cabot, I just ran into
Maurice.

He asked me to convey his deepest
apologies. We seem to be temporarily out

your cornflakes this morning. May I send
out a bowl of raisin bran?

Your cornflakes?

Oh, shut the... joke. Oh, this is Mark
Danning in charge of guest relations.

Isn't it just a joke, Mark?

Yes, ma 'am.

Oh, stop teasing me.

We've once again been challenged to a
softball game by the staff of the Mark

Hopkins Hotel.

You owe security $10.

I do?

Murphy had his passport picture taken at
Lloyd's Photography Shop.

Did you come up with anything?

There's nothing you can take to the
bunco squad, but something isn't right.

There's too much traffic coming in and
out of the back room. The phones are

ringing all the time.

He even put in two new lines a few weeks
ago.

Maybe he likes to stay in touch with his
family.

I staked out the outside.

The foot traffic's all female.

Classy bunch, but they all look like
they've been around the block.

All except for one green kid.

Want me to have the place busted?

We could look silly if we're wrong.

No. No, we better be sure.

I think I know a way to flush out Mr.

Owen Lloyd Jr.

Preston.

Is there something wrong with Stephanie?

What makes you think anything is wrong?

No, she just seemed so distant.

When we first met, I wanted to just go
up and give her a big hug, but it was

like she had a wall around her.

Well, maybe you should know.

After all, you are family.

A little more than two years ago,
Tiffany had a...

She was raped.

Brutally.

nightmare. She's still haunted by it.
The doctors say that therapy would be

helpful, but she just refuses.

Why?

I don't know.

Fear of reliving it, maybe?

Physically, she's all right, but she's
withdrawn now.

Ever since it happened, she hasn't
wanted to

function sexually.

I feel positively blessed to have a man
of Mr. McDermott's caliber as my general

manager. Oh, will it be all right just
barging in on him like this? Oh,

certainly. Well, I want you to meet his
assistant, too, Miss Francis.

Charming young lady. They complement
each other wonderfully well.

Executive officer.

Oh, hi, Frank. How are you?

Good, thanks.

When?

Tomorrow. I kind of promised myself...

I'm going to have to call you back.

Bye.

This is Cabot. I'm sorry. This is
Alexander

Heath. How do you do?

Mr. Heath.

Where is Mr.

McDermott?

I'm not quite sure.

Christine, Mr. McDermott left this note
and said that he would be at a bar in

North Beach called the Jewel Box.

Well, I guess we'll just have to meet
him later.

Christine?

Look what just rolled down off Knob
Hill. How are you?

Better now.

Behaving yourself?

Every day. How about you?

None of your business.

What can I get you?

Coffee.

Buster, bring some coffee over, will
you?

Oh, it's good to see you.

So tell me, what brings you to the low
-rent district?

Does the name Owen Lloyd mean anything
to you?

Nope. Should it?

Well, I think he's hung a shingle out in
my hotel.

Running girls?

Mm -hmm.

Oh, that's bad. If I don't know the
name, that means the man's green.

In that business, a little experience is
dangerous.

I need your help.

Peter, I pull beers for a living now.

I don't have enough to blow the whistle.
I need confirmation.

Go to the guy.

Tell him the hill is your franchise.

Come out of retirement?

Are you serious?

Well, there's something else. A teenage
kid. She's staying at the hotel.

I think she's being sucked into it.

Why don't you just put her out on the
street?

Yeah, I could, but what guarantee do we
have that she won't end up selling

herself in pieces three doors down the
block?

I think what she really needs is to have
someone scare the daylights out of her.

Anyway, we lost.

Can you imagine anybody actually knowing
that a scallop has 36 eyes and that

they're blue?

laughing about. It wasn't funny at the
time. I can't help it.

My laugh switch hasn't been on much
lately.

No, it's a nice laugh, too.

How come some man hasn't come along and
swept you away?

There was one.

We were going to be married.

He was killed in an accident about a
year ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's all right. It's all behind me now.

You remind me so much of the way
Stephanie used to be.

Don't. I know, I know.

It's crazy.

I shouldn't be talking like that. I
shouldn't have these feelings, but I do.

I don't understand what's stirring
around, but it is.

It started the minute I opened the door
to that suite, and there you were.

Please, you mustn't. Your smiling eyes
and your easy laugh.

It's like remembering all over again the
way it's supposed to be.

I feel so comfortable around you.

It's as if we should be spending the day
together.

Preston, stop.

No matter how we feel, no matter what's
happening, we mustn't let... You just

said we, didn't you?

Yes, but...

Haven't you ever wanted to just once in
your life say to hell with the way we're

supposed to behave?

To hell with convention and right and
wrong?

Who's this?

Ah, that's Kelly.

Lovely, isn't she?

Very young.

Very young.

I should like an introduction.

Good evening.

Lloyd, you can't do that to that kid.

What are you talking about?

I mean, he's a freak.

Kelly can take care of herself.

We passed a nice hotel just up the
street.

I'm gonna drive us there and get a room.

If you want to stop me, do it now.

This isn't a daydream. This is real.

We'll never be able to make it go away.

Oh, don't.

We shouldn't have come here. It's wrong.

Can't be.

You can't deny how you feel right now.

Tomorrow I'll ask myself why and there
won't be any answer.

I want you, Steffi. I mean it.

You made me feel very desirable today.

I'll never forget that.

But we can't do this, not just because
of Stephanie.

I wouldn't be very proud of myself
tomorrow, and I don't think you would be

either.

We can't shut out the real world.

Sorry, Miss Louane, but I don't have any
idea what you're talking about.

I believe what I hear on the street.

And I don't appreciate any competition
in the area.

Particularly not from amateurs. Go find
yourself another playground.

Look, Miss, I don't understand your
mumbo -jumbo.

I'm a photographer.

If you'd like to take some pictures,
that's just fine.

Otherwise, I think you'd better leave.

You want me to rearrange this man's
inventory?

I don't think that'll be necessary.

Mr. Lloyd has enough to think about
right now.

Hi. I'm back. Sorry I was so long.

That's okay. I ordered up some ice and
some munchies.

Oh, good.

Do you have a pen?

Oh, that's all right. My husband
probably does.

Here we go.

Thank you.

Now, don't move.

Magnificent set.

Thank you. It was a gift from the
defense minister of the Sudan.

Do you play?

Oh, yes.

What are you doing after dinner?

Be careful. I'm pretty good.

Really?

Perhaps we should make it interesting.

Small wager?

Oh, well.

Winning alone is enough of a goal.

I never gamble.

Would you answer that, Alexander, and
take a message? I'm locked into place.

Hello?

Yes, she is, but I'm afraid she can't
come to the phone just now. May I take a

message?

It's Harry, the bartender. He says he's
just finished making up the pool for

tonight's 49ers game.

Would you like... Three numbers, as
usual.

Tell him yes.

I wonder what's keeping

Paula.

Perhaps she's not joining us.

Maybe she's tired.

Do you think she's tired?

I don't know.

Why don't you tell me all about what you
and Paula did today?

She won't mind. Or will she?

There's not much to tell. We took a
drive across the bay for lunch. Did a

sightseeing.

Tell me, Preston.

How were the sights in room 32 of the
Sausalito Bay Inn?

How did you... I guess I shouldn't make
too much of it, though, should I?

I mean, you are a man, aren't you? And I
haven't exactly been tending to your

needs, have I? Stephanie, please. It's
not what you think.

I feel like such a damn idiot.

I fooled myself into thinking there was
some reasonable explanation to this key

that I found. And you know, that wasn't
very smart.

You should have left it there.

Or are you planning to use it again?

Stephanie, please. Let me explain.
Please?

Prepped in my own sister.

You can go ahead and bag the man if you
want to, but you don't have anything

that'll stick.

The girl who works for him used to be a
pro, but that doesn't mean anything.

I don't know.

I say we blow the whistle.

At least it'll get him out of this
house.

I'd like to try one more angle.

Let me guess.

You want me to get at the man through
this young girl he's got his hook into,

right?

You expect me to believe that?

It's the truth.

Oh, I see.

You're just toying with the idea.

Like borrowing a handbag. Stephanie,
please. Oh, stop it!

You sound just like Preston. Please,
what? Please understand why you and my

husband ended up in a hotel room this
afternoon.

Preston was not unfaithful to you today,
Stephanie.

But not for lack of trying, hmm?

That's not fair.

Did he touch you?

Did he kiss you?

Why?

How could you have?

I don't know.

Maybe I was lonely.

Maybe I needed somebody.

Anybody.

Maybe I was angry with you because you
didn't even have ten minutes to spend

with me today.

Maybe I looked at you, and you had
everything, and I had nobody.

I just reminded him of you, you know.

Preston told me that you and he
haven't... He told me what happened. I'm

Don't you dare use that as an excuse to
me!

I'm very sorry that things were ruined
here today.

God knows that isn't the way I meant it
to be.

I'm sorry.

My philosophy regarding the staff is
quite old -fashioned, I suppose.

It's also very simple.

I want my guests to feel as relaxed and
comfortable as they would be in their

own homes.

An admirable goal.

Therefore, everyone is instructed to
appear as inconspicuous as possible.

I

don't

suppose it would make any difference if
I told you they were married.

I'll translate it for you.

It means you better think twice about
hooking for Owen Lloyd. I supply the

action on this turf.

Why are you trying to frighten me?

Honey, if this scares you, you better
get a bus ticket home.

No. I can't.

All right. Then you need to know Lloyd's
operation is strictly third rate. Every

one of his girls is diseased and into
drugs within three months. Furthermore,

he's inexperienced.

He doesn't know enough about the
business to weed out the freaks and the

psychos.

Freak?

You put your body up for a fee, darling.

You've got to expect a little pain along
the way.

Don't need to worry about that, though.
We pay all your medical bills.

And our contacts with the vice squad are
ironclad.

And another thing, I'm very proud of the
fact that my girls only spend, on

average, about 30 days a year in the
tank.

I think you guys are just trying to
scare me.

Go. Go on. Get out of here.

This is Angie.

I think the two of you will get along
quite well.

Where's Lloyd?

He owes me an introduction to a young
lady who doesn't seem to be here.

Well, I'll be here soon.

Why don't you have me fix you up with
one of the other girls?

Say, someone with a little more
experience.

Are you offering your services, Helen?

No.

I won't offer any excuses.

There aren't any.

In my heart, I was unfaithful.

But your sister had a clearer view of
what was happening, or we might...

Well... Anyway, one thing I do know.

We can't go on with things the way they
are.

I'm sorry for not having more patience.

I've done the best I could, and all I do
is hurt you.

Well, no more.

I love you, Steph.

She's gone.

Nobody knows where.

Lloyd introduced her to a man named
Harold Butts, and they left.

Oh, God.

What? I know Harold Butts.

Peter, he's a freak.

Bad news.

If you don't find her quickly, she's
going to be hurt.

Thanks, Rita.

I don't know. I don't know, I swear.

When I left, they were still there.

The police are on their way, mister.

You want to greet them with all your
teeth in place, you've got to do better

than that. Okay, okay, okay.

He hangs out in Chinatown at a hotel
called the Jade Palace.

Maybe he took her there.

Preston, please, don't do this to her.

If you leave, there can't be any talk,
and if there's no talk, there's no

of repairing it.

It's a nightmare to think that because
of what almost happened... It will

happen.

Sooner or later.

It wasn't me you wanted to make love to,
was it?

There never was a future for us,
Preston. We both knew that.

We shouldn't all pay for this.

We can't all be left with nothing.

I do love her, you know.

I know.

But I can't live with only half a
marriage.

Not only is Mr. Howe a fine
photographer, he's also a wonderfully

traveling companion.

I feel the same about Kai.

He's a man of great poise.

Dignity. I've entertained presidents and
kings, and he's always been the epitome

of quiet decorum.

Ah, Mrs.

Cabot.

He does, however, have a rather odd
hobby.

It's always a pleasure for me to meet
someone who's new in town.

We're going to enjoy a memorable evening
together.

It looks lovely on you, my dear.

I can't tell you how much I'm going to
enjoy this.

I just came to pick up my things.

Remember this?

You bought it for me in Maui.

We never wanted to leave.

Everything was different then.

Dividing our time into thirds.

Eating. Lying on the beach.

Making love.

I want to be a woman again.

Oh, Stephanie, that's what I... Please,
let me talk.

I am angry with you, Preston, but I know
in time that will pass.

Right now, I'm much more frightened of
losing our marriage.

I want to make love again.

I'm still scared.

I'm going to get help.

Well, maybe for now.

You just hold me.

Let me go.

Howard Butt's room.

My memory's really lousy this time, that
Butt's. What room?

301!

It's over.

I

can't

go home yet.

Maybe soon, but not right now.

We understand.

Rita's going to let me stay with her for
a while.

Terrific. I always knew you were a
pushover.

She gets room and board in exchange for
waiting tables at the jewel box.

And it sounds like heaven compared to...
Well, you know.

You went to a lot of trouble on my
account.

Oh, forget it.

No, I won't forget it.

But what I don't understand is why.

You don't know anything about me.

Oh, yes, you do.

You see...

He has this friend who threw away ten
years of her life making the same

Stephanie. Are you and Preston, we're
going home.

That's good.

I know there's nothing I could say.
Paula, I can't condone what happened

you and Preston.

That would be a little too modern,
wouldn't it?

But if, well, you know, if all this
hadn't come up, I might have gone on

the events of my past destroy my life.

Maybe it was a jolt I needed.

Can we... I mean, is there any way that
we can still... Of course there is.

Can you get some time off around here at
Thanksgiving?

You bet.

Then you'll come and spend it with us.

We'll count our blessings together, huh?

And start all over.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Any chance of my getting a little sneak
preview of what you're going to write

about my hotel? Before I arrived, I
decided on a lead line for my review.

St. Gregory Oasis of Quiet Elegance.

I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to
use it now.

Oh, dear.

Why not?

Because it's boring, that's why.

Hotels are made up of people, Victoria.

Complicated, fallible, unpredictable
people.

You and your staff have made me feel
very much at home here.

Have you thought of a new title?

No, but perhaps you'll have dinner with
me on Saturday night and we'll think of

it together.

Well, how did it go?

What did you think?

I may have a better idea Sunday morning.
