Come on down.
183
00:13:12,875 --> 00:13:14,752
Oh, come on, now.
It isn't a dance!
184
00:13:14,836 --> 00:13:15,803
Keep your guard up.
185
00:13:15,878 --> 00:13:18,722
Oh, come on, Liggett!
You can do better than that.
186
00:13:22,135 --> 00:13:24,934
Ah, good. I'm sorry
to drag you down here,
187
00:13:25,013 --> 00:13:28,768
but it's my young men's night,
and I couldn't miss it.
188
00:13:28,850 --> 00:13:30,852
- Do you like a scrap?
- I'm sorry?
189
00:13:30,935 --> 00:13:33,279
I love to see
a pair of fit boys scrapping.
190
00:13:33,354 --> 00:13:34,526
Hockey.
191
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:36,031
- hockey?
- Do you play hockey?
192
00:13:36,107 --> 00:13:37,905
No, my Lord.
I'm afraid I don't.
193
00:13:37,984 --> 00:13:40,078
Oh, too bad. I promised
I'd get a team together
194
00:13:40,194 --> 00:13:41,867
to play the Methodists
on Saturday week.
195
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:44,916
Now, they're very good,
but physical. Yes.

Yes, well, how was Africa?
201
00:13:56,085 --> 00:13:57,928
Quite remarkable, sir.
Quite remarkable.
202
00:13:58,004 --> 00:13:59,597
Much time for sport?
203
00:14:00,214 --> 00:14:02,342
Sport? No, not a lot.
204
00:14:02,425 --> 00:14:04,598
I was out there for a while, you know.
205
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:07,351
Wonderful country.
I tried to teach them
206
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:09,649
the rudiments of rugby football.
207
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:11,271
But it wasn't really
their sort of thing.
208
00:14:11,351 --> 00:14:13,774
They hang onto the ball
for too long.
209

Tighten them up, Bunyan.
Keep them firm.
212
00:14:24,655 --> 00:14:25,952
That's it.
213
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:28,952
Yes, he doesn't like rules,
your African.
214
00:14:29,035 --> 00:14:32,255
We had a chap called Sperry
in Tabaka province.

Keen cricketer.
County standard.
216
00:14:34,290 --> 00:14:37,214
He tried to explain the no-ball rule
217
00:14:37,293 --> 00:14:40,217
to a very primitive side
from Mashonaland.
218
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:43,220
Well, I mean, they cut his
head off in the tea interval.
219
00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:44,425
Stuck it on the pavilion.
220
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:47,099
The worst thing was
he'd built that pavilion himself.
221
00:14:47,178 --> 00:14:49,397
Still, just shows you can't force
the pace of progress.
222
00:14:49,472 --> 00:14:51,145
- Well, Cheers.
- Cheers.
223
00:14:52,058 --> 00:14:54,937
Now, let me get straight
to the reason
224
00:14:55,019 --> 00:14:58,523
why I brought you back,
um, erm... Fortescue.
225
00:14:58,606 --> 00:15:00,028
Um...
226
00:15:01,234 --> 00:15:03,282
How are you with women?
227
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:05,492
I beg your pardon, sir?
228
00:15:05,613 --> 00:15:07,115
I know you're good with Africans,
229
00:15:07,198 --> 00:15:10,418
but how are you with... with...
with... with... with women?
230
00:15:10,493 --> 00:15:12,416
I'm sorry, sir. I'm not
quite sure what you mean.
231
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:15,331
Well, we've got a problem,
Fortescue.
232
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:16,837
An increasing problem.
233
00:15:17,583 --> 00:15:21,713
- Women?
- Certain kinds of women, yes.
234
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:23,924
Certain kinds?
235
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:27,726
Ladies of the street.
236
00:15:27,802 --> 00:15:29,429
Filles de joie.
237
00:15:29,595 --> 00:15:31,518
Daughters of the night.
238
00:15:31,597 --> 00:15:33,975
They're a big problem
for the Church.
239
00:15:34,183 --> 00:15:36,652
No, no.
We're strong on drunkenness,
240
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:38,612
we've had a fair crack
at homelessness,
241
00:15:38,688 --> 00:15:40,816
but, as far as prostitution goes,
242
00:15:41,149 --> 00:15:43,698
we're not even out
of the changing room.
243
00:15:44,152 --> 00:15:46,280
What do you want me to do,
my Lord?
244
00:15:46,737 --> 00:15:49,832
Go amongst prostitutes, Fortescue.
245
00:15:50,324 --> 00:15:52,418
Go to the filthiest
streets of London,
246
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:54,871
into the back alleys,
and behind the workhouses.
247
00:15:55,580 --> 00:15:57,799
Seek out the harlots
and the streetwalkers.
248
00:15:57,874 --> 00:15:59,922
Get to know them.
Get to understand them.
249
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:01,760
Win their confidence.
250
00:16:02,003 --> 00:16:05,177
Find out why they do what they do,
251
00:16:05,298 --> 00:16:07,471
and stop them doing it.
252
00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:11,054
We badly need this missi�n,
Fortescue.

is showing us the way home.

256
00:16:16,726 --> 00:16:18,945

ahead of the bell.

258
00:16:20,813 --> 00:16:22,406
Well, I don't know what to say, sir.
259
00:16:22,482 --> 00:16:24,405
I didn't quite expect this.

00:16:24,484 --> 00:16:26,612

to bowl at you

I'd not only run it,

- Please.

00:20:18,592 --> 00:20:21,892
NARRATOR: Only slightly deterred
by Deborah 's evident inability
350
00:20:22,012 --> 00:20:24,640
to fully comprehend
the nature of his work,
351
00:20:25,057 --> 00:20:27,856
Fortescue threw himself
into the task of fund-ra�sing
352
00:20:27,935 --> 00:20:30,154
with characteristic vigour.
353
00:20:34,483 --> 00:20:36,360
Mind the Carpet, sir.
354
00:20:37,111 --> 00:20:40,741
My husband won't have
anything mended, you know.
355
00:20:40,823 --> 00:20:43,702
Well, I should imagine
the costs must be very high.
356
00:20:43,784 --> 00:20:47,004
Well, yes, but he doesn't like
to be parted from them.
357
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:50,083
Well... eminently reasonable.
358
00:20:50,207 --> 00:20:54,678
- Cedric, dear, someone to see you.
- Oh?
359
00:20:54,754 --> 00:20:57,507
This is Mr Fortescue,
the missionary.
360
00:20:57,590 --> 00:21:00,719
You remember, we read all about him
in the newspapers.
361
00:21:00,801 --> 00:21:01,973
Oh.
362
00:21:02,136 --> 00:21:04,889
He wants us to help him
in his new work, dear.
363
00:21:04,972 --> 00:21:06,519
Isn't that splendid?
364
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:07,600
How do you do, sir?
365
00:21:07,725 --> 00:21:09,022
- I'm so pleased to meet you.
- Oh! Don't...
366
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:10,478
Don't shake his hand.
367
00:21:10,561 --> 00:21:12,655
It's a terrible palaver.
368
00:21:13,230 --> 00:21:15,198
It's a most beautiful house.
369
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:17,652
He won't hear that,
I'm afraid.
370
00:21:18,194 --> 00:21:19,912
- It's a most beautiful house!
- Hmm?
371
00:21:19,987 --> 00:21:23,412
No. He doesn't hear
anything on that side.
372
00:21:24,575 --> 00:21:25,747
I was just saying, sir,
373
00:21:25,826 --> 00:21:28,579
what a most beautiful
house you have here.
374
00:21:28,662 --> 00:21:29,788
Hello.
375
00:21:29,872 --> 00:21:33,172
LADY FRAMLEIGH: There.
You've got him, but it's still a little close.
376
00:21:33,250 --> 00:21:36,379
It's all to do
with pitch and vibration.
377
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:38,681
Having spent, er...
ten years in Africa,
378
00:21:38,756 --> 00:21:40,850
I realise that, in all that time,
379
00:21:41,008 --> 00:21:44,353
I'd been neglecting the needs
of our own people here at home.
380
00:21:44,428 --> 00:21:46,021
Er... it's all very well
sending out missions
381
00:21:46,096 --> 00:21:48,645
to Indochina,
the Gambia, Somaliland...
382
00:21:48,724 --> 00:21:52,228
when the real problems are here,
under our very noses.
383
00:21:52,561 --> 00:21:54,563
This is the country
that needs our help.
384
00:21:54,730 --> 00:21:58,576
AII our best people go
to Africa and to the colonies,
385
00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:02,121
but what do they leave behind them,
here, on our doorstep?
386
00:22:02,780 --> 00:22:04,782
A moral void.
387
00:22:05,616 --> 00:22:07,368
In the heart of our great cities,
388
00:22:07,451 --> 00:22:10,045
in the back streets and
behind the workhouses,
389
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:11,835
and among the slum tenements,
390
00:22:11,914 --> 00:22:13,291
you will find young women,
391
00:22:13,374 --> 00:22:16,969
some of them no more than
13 and 14 years old,
392
00:22:17,044 --> 00:22:19,467
who wander the streets, homeless,
393
00:22:19,547 --> 00:22:22,847
the prey of exploiters and criminals.
394
00:22:23,175 --> 00:22:26,054
They know no pride,
they know no shame,
395
00:22:26,178 --> 00:22:28,681
as they smk deeper
and deeper 'mio the abyss.
396
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:30,892
I've seen them.
I've talked to them.
397
00:22:31,433 --> 00:22:33,151
I've heard their cries for help,
398
00:22:33,227 --> 00:22:35,275
and if we ignore those cries...
399
00:22:35,396 --> 00:22:38,366
if we refuse to help,
if we refuse to fight,
400
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,693
if we pass by on the other side,
401
00:22:40,776 --> 00:22:42,904
-then He will call us to account.
-(BELL RINGING)
402
00:22:42,987 --> 00:22:46,207
He will want to know why it is,
we Iet our own people wallow
403
00:22:46,282 --> 00:22:47,704
in the mire and filth of evil,
404
00:22:47,783 --> 00:22:50,787
why we saw so clearly
the mote in others' eyes,
405
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:52,838
but not the beam in our own.
406
00:22:52,913 --> 00:22:55,712
Unless we can take up
the battle to save
407
00:22:55,791 --> 00:22:58,840
and enlighten
these wretched souls now,
408
00:22:58,919 --> 00:23:01,638
then the darkness of ignorance
we see so clearly in others
409
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:02,886
will engulf us all.
410
00:23:02,965 --> 00:23:06,014
We'll be sucked into
the quicksands of apathy,
411
00:23:06,093 --> 00:23:08,095
leaving the profiteers
and the procurers
412
00:23:08,178 --> 00:23:10,522
to ply their cruel trade.
413
00:23:11,307 --> 00:23:14,060
I believe most strongly
that we cannot and must not
414
00:23:14,143 --> 00:23:15,486
seek the easy way out.
415
00:23:15,561 --> 00:23:17,734
To ignore what is going on,
416
00:23:17,813 --> 00:23:20,612
to pretend nothing is happening.
417
00:23:20,691 --> 00:23:23,160
We can begin the moral revival.
418
00:23:23,235 --> 00:23:27,832
We can begin to save the souls
of those British fallen women
419
00:23:27,907 --> 00:23:29,409
who have fallen into sin,
420
00:23:29,491 --> 00:23:31,539
whdve been dragged down
through no mu�,
421
00:23:31,619 --> 00:23:34,088
other than their own
ignorance and innocence.
422
00:23:34,163 --> 00:23:36,962
But we must act now, and that
is why I've come along here today,
423
00:23:37,041 --> 00:23:40,716
because I believe that it is
with the help of people like you
424
00:23:40,794 --> 00:23:43,388
that we can start
a new and vigorous...
425
00:23:43,464 --> 00:23:46,058
- Mr Fortescue?
-...tide of hope and optimism.
426
00:23:46,133 --> 00:23:48,511
- Mr Fortescue?
- With the help of people like you,
427
00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:51,473
-we can breach the barriers of ignorance.
- Mr Fortescue!
428
00:23:51,555 --> 00:23:53,398
And smash the barriers of...
Yes?
429
00:23:53,474 --> 00:23:56,978
I'm avvfully sorry,
but my husband has died.
430
00:23:58,354 --> 00:23:59,731
- Died?
- Yes.
431
00:23:59,813 --> 00:24:02,111
You know, his heart has ceased to...
432
00:24:02,191 --> 00:24:03,613
Yes, yes, I...
433
00:24:04,026 --> 00:24:05,027
Oh, dear.
434
00:24:05,486 --> 00:24:08,114
I'm terribly sorry
because he would've loved
435
00:24:08,197 --> 00:24:09,949
to have heard
what you were saying.
436
00:24:10,032 --> 00:24:12,285
Oh, no, no, I'm the one
who should be sorry.
437
00:24:12,368 --> 00:24:13,995
I do apologise.
438
00:24:14,078 --> 00:24:16,331
Oh, don't worry, Mr Fortescue.
439
00:24:16,413 --> 00:24:17,790
These things happen,
440
00:24:17,915 --> 00:24:20,589
and he has had
a jolly good innings.
441
00:24:20,668 --> 00:24:22,921
I'm... I'm most frightfully sorry.
I shall be going.
442
00:24:23,003 --> 00:24:25,506
Oh, no, it's I who should be sorry.
443
00:24:25,589 --> 00:24:28,308
It was really a breach of...
of manners.
444
00:24:28,425 --> 00:24:30,348
Because he's very forgetful,
445
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:32,847
and he probably forgot you were there.
446
00:24:32,930 --> 00:24:34,352
CHARLES'.
Well, I think when one's dying,
447
00:24:34,431 --> 00:24:36,854
one does tend to become forgetful.
448
00:24:36,934 --> 00:24:39,653
LADY FRAMLEKBH'.
He's never done �t before.
449
00:24:56,537 --> 00:24:57,959
Take your coat, sir?
450
00:24:58,038 --> 00:25:00,291
Oh, yes.
Thank you, Emily.
451
00:25:00,374 --> 00:25:01,876
DEBORAH'.
Charles!
452
00:25:02,376 --> 00:25:03,628
What is it?
453
00:25:03,711 --> 00:25:05,964
Come up here.
I've got a surprise for yo...
454
00:25:06,046 --> 00:25:07,764
I'm in my bedroom.
455
00:25:11,844 --> 00:25:16,725
? Dear Lord and father of mankind
456
00:25:17,057 --> 00:25:21,779
S Forgive our foolish... S
Door's open.
457
00:25:22,479 --> 00:25:25,153
(DEBORAH CONTINUES HUMMING HYMN)
458
00:25:25,315 --> 00:25:27,317
S Rightful mind... S
459
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:29,032
Hello.
460
00:25:29,319 --> 00:25:31,037
Look at the shelves.
461
00:25:31,488 --> 00:25:33,490
Incoming, Box A.
462
00:25:35,576 --> 00:25:37,999
Incoming... A.
463
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:46,883
Who is this Lady Ames?
464
00:25:47,004 --> 00:25:48,426
Lord Ames' wife.
465
00:25:48,505 --> 00:25:49,256
Who's he?
466
00:25:49,339 --> 00:25:51,512
Oh Charles, where have you been
for the last ten years?
467
00:25:51,633 --> 00:25:52,759
Darkest Africa?
468
00:25:53,093 --> 00:25:56,688
Oh.
Well, he's terribly important.
469
00:25:56,805 --> 00:25:58,807
He was General Gordon's
number two.
470
00:25:58,932 --> 00:26:00,730
Why has she written to me
offering me his money?
471
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:02,811
I mean, I never wrote to her.
472
00:26:02,895 --> 00:26:04,568
Of course you didn't, silly.
I did.
473
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:06,611
According to the book, he was
the richest man in Britain,
474
00:26:06,690 --> 00:26:09,193
and I think that
it was worth starting there.
475
00:26:09,443 --> 00:26:14,324
Deborah, you are
a very, very clever girl.
476
00:26:14,698 --> 00:26:17,497
I just want to get married,
that's all, Charles.
477
00:26:17,951 --> 00:26:19,544
I suppose I was right
478
00:26:19,661 --> 00:26:22,585
to wear the Hussar's uniform
rather than the Lancer's.
479
00:26:22,664 --> 00:26:25,133
Goes rather better with my eyes.
480
00:26:25,959 --> 00:26:28,428
Shows up every drop of spume, though.
481
00:26:28,504 --> 00:26:32,554
Equine spume plays havoc
with a cavalry uniform.
482
00:26:33,175 --> 00:26:36,975
An over-excited mount can make
the most splendidly attired officer
483
00:26:37,054 --> 00:26:40,775
look as if he's suffering
from appalling diarrhoea.
484
00:26:42,101 --> 00:26:43,478
Who is this fellow?
485
00:26:43,936 --> 00:26:45,404
Nobody I know, hmm?
486
00:26:45,521 --> 00:26:49,321
No. It's someone I know.
I'm Lady Ames.
487
00:26:49,399 --> 00:26:50,571
LORD AMES:
Is he British?
488
00:26:50,651 --> 00:26:52,870
- SIR CYRIL: Your Lordship, please.
- LORD AMES: Oh, sorry. Sorry.
489
00:26:52,945 --> 00:26:55,539
I am so glad you could come.
490
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:57,537
I find I hate foreigners more and more.
491
00:26:57,616 --> 00:27:00,665
- Do you find that so, Everidge?
- My husband is rather busy at the moment.
492
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:04,507
- Shall we talk?
- Yes, yes, of course.
493
00:27:04,581 --> 00:27:08,836
So, your fertility symbols
arrived home safely?
494
00:27:08,919 --> 00:27:12,389
Yes. A little bruised,
perhaps, but, er...
495
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:15,217
Effective nonetheless.
496
00:27:16,677 --> 00:27:19,931
You must find it all very
different here from Africa.
497
00:27:20,013 --> 00:27:22,141
Oh, yes. Much more civilised.
498
00:27:22,224 --> 00:27:24,352
That's the trouble, isn't it?
499
00:27:24,434 --> 00:27:25,560
The trouble?
500
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:26,941
Being civilised.
501
00:27:27,146 --> 00:27:31,401
Here, there are so many
right ways of doing things,
502
00:27:31,483 --> 00:27:33,531
and so many wrong ways
of doing things.
503
00:27:33,610 --> 00:27:35,988
Well, it's much the same
in Africa, you know.
504
00:27:36,071 --> 00:27:38,369
I'm not talking
about stealing cattle.
505
00:27:38,448 --> 00:27:41,372
I'm talking about things
you're allowed to say and do.
506
00:27:41,493 --> 00:27:44,372
Well, England's very liberal
after Africa, I assure yo...
507
00:27:44,454 --> 00:27:46,673
Oh, do you really think so?
508
00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:48,671
I find it very stifling.
509
00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:51,341
Really? In what way?
510
00:27:51,420 --> 00:27:52,672
Well, I mean...
511
00:27:52,796 --> 00:27:57,222
Well, for instance, I couldn't
just go around saying that...
512
00:27:58,051 --> 00:28:00,770
Hmd you Very attractNe...
513
00:28:02,264 --> 00:28:04,858
could I? Oh, don't...
please don't worry about him.
514
00:28:04,975 --> 00:28:08,070
He's a talker, not a Iistener.
515
00:28:09,146 --> 00:28:11,148
Well, what do you think?
516
00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:14,409
Well, I think it's very very
kind of you to offer...
517
00:28:14,484 --> 00:28:16,236
to donate money
to the missionaries.
518
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,698
No, no. About me.
519
00:28:20,282 --> 00:28:21,579
About you?
520
00:28:22,910 --> 00:28:25,254
Well, I think you're very generous.
521
00:28:25,329 --> 00:28:26,797
Oh, I am.
522
00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:32,006
Tell me about Africa.
523
00:28:33,378 --> 00:28:35,847
Ah, well, it's a long story. Erm...
524
00:28:35,923 --> 00:28:38,676
When I first went out there
in 1895, the whole...
525
00:28:38,759 --> 00:28:41,638
Does the sun shine all the time?
526
00:28:42,888 --> 00:28:44,515
Yes, yes, it does most of the time.
527
00:28:45,474 --> 00:28:46,646
I should like that.
528
00:28:47,351 --> 00:28:48,728
It is very nice,
529
00:28:48,810 --> 00:28:50,608
once you get used to
the flies and the fevers.
530
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:52,731
The people and the animals,
531
00:28:52,814 --> 00:28:54,782
I mean, where else in the worid
do you wake up in the morning
532
00:28:54,858 --> 00:28:58,488
and find elephants, and rhino,
and hartebeest by the waterside?
533
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:00,163
Why ever did you leave?
534
00:29:00,322 --> 00:29:01,995
Well, I, er...
535
00:29:02,074 --> 00:29:04,497
I wasn't going to spend
my whole life there.
536
00:29:04,618 --> 00:29:07,462
I mean, I wanted to come back.
I wanted, er...
537
00:29:07,537 --> 00:29:09,960
to try new work.
538
00:29:11,124 --> 00:29:13,752
- I wanted to, er...
- Get married?
539
00:29:15,170 --> 00:29:17,514
Yes, yes, yes.
540
00:29:18,173 --> 00:29:21,677
I mean, Africa's all very well,
but it's, er... it's not...
541
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:22,932
It's not what?
542
00:29:23,262 --> 00:29:25,139
What I was educated for.
543
00:29:26,098 --> 00:29:28,521
I mean, my roots are here in England,
like yours.
544
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,772
Oh, yes.
545
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:32,354
My roots.
546
00:29:35,232 --> 00:29:37,576
Well, would you like to discuss
the donation with your husband?
547
00:29:37,651 --> 00:29:39,449
No. No, you're quite right,
548
00:29:39,528 --> 00:29:42,748
it is difficult to discuss it
while he's here.
549
00:29:42,823 --> 00:29:44,370
Ah, no, that's not what I meant.
550
00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:45,450
LORD AMES:
Isabel!
551
00:29:45,534 --> 00:29:48,208
Why don't you come
and see me tomorrow?
552
00:29:48,287 --> 00:29:50,210
I have a bolthole in Chelsea.
553
00:29:50,289 --> 00:29:52,132
I'II give you the address.
554
00:29:52,207 --> 00:29:53,333
LORD AMES:
Isabel!
555
00:29:53,417 --> 00:29:55,795
Henry will be
at the studio all day,
556
00:29:55,877 --> 00:29:58,221
so we can just talk.
557
00:29:58,297 --> 00:29:59,640
What?
558
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:02,093
Get to know each other.
559
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:04,307
- Um...
- David?
560
00:30:04,428 --> 00:30:07,227
- LORD AMES: Isabel?
- Yes?
561
00:30:07,306 --> 00:30:09,855
Who are the people
l really hate?
562
00:30:09,933 --> 00:30:12,436
Please come. I'm sure
we could help each other.
563
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:15,693
- Ah, no, look, Ithink...
- I'll see you tomorrow.
564
00:30:17,357 --> 00:30:18,734
The Swiss?
565
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:20,660
No, no, no. In this country.
566
00:30:20,736 --> 00:30:22,409
Who do I really hate?
567
00:30:22,487 --> 00:30:25,286
We were talking about them
the other day.
568
00:30:26,408 --> 00:30:27,751
Missionaries.
569
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:30,375
That's right! Missionaries.
570
00:30:31,038 --> 00:30:33,416
DEBORAH:
Did she offer you anything?
571
00:30:33,540 --> 00:30:38,467
Oh, she sort of hinted that she
might be interested at a later stage.
572
00:30:38,545 --> 00:30:40,593
Oh, that's marvellous.
573
00:30:40,672 --> 00:30:42,970
Very good people
to be in with, Ames.
574
00:30:43,133 --> 00:30:44,885
Well, I said no.
575
00:30:44,968 --> 00:30:46,265
What?
576
00:30:46,345 --> 00:30:47,767
I said no.
577
00:30:48,805 --> 00:30:53,026
You said no? Just like that,
without even thinking about it?
578
00:30:53,101 --> 00:30:54,193
Well, it didn't feel right.
579
00:30:54,269 --> 00:30:58,615
I felt she was doing it
for the wrong reasons.
580
00:30:58,815 --> 00:31:02,536
Wouldn't have thought Ames
as the sort of patron to turn down.
581
00:31:02,611 --> 00:31:05,706
But it's so rude.
What must she think of you?
582
00:31:05,822 --> 00:31:07,699
Well, I'm sure I'II
find the money elsewhere.
583
00:31:07,783 --> 00:31:10,127
That's what you've been saying
for the last six weeks.
584
00:31:10,243 --> 00:31:11,335
Deborah, you must understand...
585
00:31:11,411 --> 00:31:14,506
No. I can't understand.
586
00:31:14,581 --> 00:31:17,334
First you tell me that you're
looking after lady tramps,
587
00:31:17,417 --> 00:31:18,919
and now you tell me
that you've turned down
588
00:31:19,002 --> 00:31:21,255
the first real offer
of money that we've had.
589
00:31:21,338 --> 00:31:24,308
We're never going to
get married. Never! Never!
590
00:31:24,383 --> 00:31:25,760
Deborah, let me...
(CLATTERING)
591
00:31:25,842 --> 00:31:27,936
Let me explain!
Deborah! Deborah!
592
00:31:30,972 --> 00:31:32,599
Deborah...
593
00:31:33,225 --> 00:31:36,399
I've waited ten years
for you, Charles.
594
00:31:36,478 --> 00:31:38,230
You must trust me, Deborah.
There are reasons...
595
00:31:38,397 --> 00:31:41,116
- Oh, what reasons?
- Just reasons.
596
00:31:41,191 --> 00:31:44,195
You're so mysterious
about everything these days.
597
00:31:44,277 --> 00:31:46,154
Well, what do you want me to do?
598
00:31:46,238 --> 00:31:48,115
Go back and see her again.
599
00:31:48,198 --> 00:31:50,326
- I can't. ..
-(LOUD BELCH)
600
00:31:51,952 --> 00:31:53,750
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
601
00:31:54,579 --> 00:31:57,799
- Just cleaning, and... cleaning.
-(CLATTERING)
602
00:31:57,874 --> 00:32:01,128
- Charles, please go back and see her.
- PARSWELL: Sorry.
603
00:32:01,253 --> 00:32:03,472
I can't.
I don't know where she'Il be.
604
00:32:03,547 --> 00:32:06,266
- She's at the studio.
- No, no, they're probably finished.
605
00:32:06,341 --> 00:32:08,264
- Then at the house.
- Don't know where it is.
606
00:32:08,343 --> 00:32:09,970
Mortonhampstead.
607
00:32:10,053 --> 00:32:13,899
It's on the Great Western line,
two stops before Chippenham.
608
00:32:13,974 --> 00:32:18,195
There's a 9:38,
a 12:06, and a 2:15.
609
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:19,738
You don't understand.
610
00:32:19,896 --> 00:32:22,615
Please, Charles.
611
00:32:22,691 --> 00:32:26,821
If you love me,
go back and see her again.
612
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:38,583
(CREAKING)
613
00:33:20,290 --> 00:33:22,167
(HEAVY KNOCK)
614
00:33:30,884 --> 00:33:32,386
Yes?
615
00:33:32,469 --> 00:33:35,723
Ah! I believe
the Arneses, er... live here.
616
00:33:35,805 --> 00:33:36,897
Yes.
617
00:33:36,973 --> 00:33:38,270
I would like to see
Lady Ames, please,
618
00:33:38,391 --> 00:33:40,359
on a purely business matter.
619
00:33:40,477 --> 00:33:42,980
Of course, sir.
What name shall I say, sir?
620
00:33:43,063 --> 00:33:44,406
Fortescue.
621
00:33:44,481 --> 00:33:46,074
Fortescue, sir.
622
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:48,243
Come this way, please.
623
00:33:48,318 --> 00:33:49,820
Thank yo...
624
00:33:56,284 --> 00:33:58,503
Follow me, sir.
625
00:35:02,642 --> 00:35:04,269
(NERVOUS COUGH)
626
00:35:04,352 --> 00:35:06,025
No. This can't be right.
627
00:35:06,146 --> 00:35:07,864
I think we should have turned...
628
00:35:07,939 --> 00:35:09,816
left at the billiard room, sir.
629
00:35:09,899 --> 00:35:12,197
This way, please.
630
00:35:39,971 --> 00:35:43,441
No. That's not it.
631
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,528
CHARLES:
It is a very large house.
632
00:35:47,604 --> 00:35:50,608
SLATTERTHWAITE:
Yes, that certainly doesn't help.
633
00:35:53,860 --> 00:35:56,659
Ah, this looks promising.
634
00:36:03,745 --> 00:36:06,123
Ah. If you won't mind, sir,
635
00:36:06,206 --> 00:36:08,755
we'll go round to the front
and start again.
636
00:36:08,833 --> 00:36:11,882
- I'm much better outside.
- This way, isn't it?
637
00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:16,509
SLATTERTHWAITE:
Ah, yes, you're absolutely right.
638
00:36:19,344 --> 00:36:22,564
Sixteenth century,
much of the building.
639
00:36:22,889 --> 00:36:24,891
CHARLES:
Ah. Mmm.
640
00:36:36,569 --> 00:36:39,743
LORD AMES: Are there two Is
in �disembowellment�?
641
00:36:39,823 --> 00:36:42,167
(LADY AMES SIGHING)
I think so.
642
00:36:45,870 --> 00:36:47,588
Are you expecting anyone?
643
00:36:47,664 --> 00:36:49,632
LORD AMES:
No, thank God.
644
00:36:50,083 --> 00:36:52,802
I saw Slatterthwaite
with someone in tow,
645
00:36:52,919 --> 00:36:55,718
-going down to the pond.
-(RINGING BELL)
646
00:36:55,797 --> 00:36:59,427
He really is
the most disastrous butler.
647
00:36:59,592 --> 00:37:01,185
Can't we get rid of him?
648
00:37:01,261 --> 00:37:03,138
Of course we can't.
649
00:37:03,221 --> 00:37:06,065
He's been here 25 years.
650
00:37:06,599 --> 00:37:09,022
I don't know why we ever
got rid of Margerison.
651
00:37:09,102 --> 00:37:12,197
You know perfectly well
why we got rid of Margerison.
652
00:37:12,313 --> 00:37:15,408
Oh, that was only
a bit of harmless fun.
653
00:37:15,942 --> 00:37:18,320
Not for the parents.
654
00:37:22,866 --> 00:37:23,992
Yes, milady?
655
00:37:24,868 --> 00:37:28,168
Oh, would you go and find
Mr Slatterthwaite, please, Millicent?
656
00:37:28,288 --> 00:37:29,665
He was going down to the pond.
657
00:37:29,748 --> 00:37:31,921
Head him off
before he gets to the maze.
658
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,798
Yes, milady.
659
00:37:40,884 --> 00:37:42,636
What are you doing?
660
00:37:42,969 --> 00:37:45,222
Wrmng to The Times.
661
00:37:46,097 --> 00:37:47,599
What about?
662
00:37:48,349 --> 00:37:50,022
Punishment.
663
00:37:52,812 --> 00:37:54,530

Well done, Millicent.

Ah. Lady...

- Ames.
- Ames, mm.
671
00:38:23,676 --> 00:38:29,183
A Mr Forester to see you, milady.
672
00:38:34,521 --> 00:38:36,364
Good afternoon, sir.
673
00:38:36,439 --> 00:38:39,033
My name is Fortescue.
I'm a missionary.
674
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:42,654
I had the great fortune of meeting
you and your wife in London recently.
675
00:38:42,737 --> 00:38:44,330
Never set eyes on yo...
676
00:38:44,405 --> 00:38:46,248
At the studio, sir.
You were kind enough to be
677
00:38:46,366 --> 00:38:48,164
very sympathetic to my work.
678
00:38:48,243 --> 00:38:50,496
Most unlikely.
What sort of work is that?
679
00:38:50,578 --> 00:38:52,455
Amongst
the underprivileged, sir.
680
00:38:52,664 --> 00:38:55,759
- Who?
- The underprivileged.
681
00:38:55,834 --> 00:38:58,257
That's an unfamiliar term to me.
682
00:38:58,336 --> 00:39:00,509
People who have less
than ourselves.
683
00:39:00,588 --> 00:39:03,808
Well, in our case, that includes
practically everyone in the country.
684
00:39:03,883 --> 00:39:05,385
Can you be more specific?
685
00:39:05,468 --> 00:39:10,395
Well, I certainly think we
should hear more about it, don't you?
686
00:39:10,473 --> 00:39:13,226
Leave the ungrateful
buggers alone, I say.
687
00:39:13,309 --> 00:39:14,652
Won't you stay for dinner?
688
00:39:14,727 --> 00:39:16,821
Er, no, no. I promised
I'd be back this evening...
689
00:39:16,896 --> 00:39:18,239
before nightfall.
690
00:39:18,314 --> 00:39:20,066
You've missed the last train.
691
00:39:20,149 --> 00:39:21,776
I was told there was a 4:22.
692
00:39:21,901 --> 00:39:24,029
Oh, no, not on Thursdays.
693
00:39:24,112 --> 00:39:26,080
- Coach?
- First thing in the morning.
694
00:39:26,155 --> 00:39:28,328
Can't Wooler get the motor out?
695
00:39:28,408 --> 00:39:30,160
Well, not in this weather.
696
00:39:30,243 --> 00:39:31,335
Then I'II walk.
697
00:39:31,411 --> 00:39:32,628
Oh, no.
698
00:39:32,871 --> 00:39:36,921
No, really.
It is far too far.

00:39:40,086 --> 00:39:41,759
Where would we keep it?
702
00:39:41,838 --> 00:39:44,307
Look, really, I must get back.
703
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:47,477
Oh, one more for dinner,
please, Millicent.
704
00:39:47,552 --> 00:39:49,520
Yes, milady.
705
00:39:49,971 --> 00:39:51,939
After all, it's not every day
706
00:39:52,056 --> 00:39:54,809
we have missionaries
in this part of Wiltshire.
707
00:39:54,893 --> 00:39:56,486
LORD AMES:
�Agony�?
708
00:39:57,103 --> 00:39:59,652
A-G-O-N-Y.
709
00:39:59,772 --> 00:40:02,901
LORD AMES: You see, what I think
is wrong with the country today
710
00:40:02,984 --> 00:40:05,863
is that there aren't
enough people chained up.
711
00:40:05,945 --> 00:40:07,947
It's one of his theories.
712
00:40:09,115 --> 00:40:09,741
Ah.
713
00:40:09,824 --> 00:40:12,703
LORD AMES: I think many people,
if they were given the choice
714
00:40:12,785 --> 00:40:14,458
between abject poverty,
715
00:40:14,537 --> 00:40:16,631
and being held,
firmly but fairly,
716
00:40:16,706 --> 00:40:20,427
on a chain of their very own,
would choose the chain.
717
00:40:20,501 --> 00:40:23,846
They could reach their food,
obviously lie down in bed...
718
00:40:24,005 --> 00:40:25,973
You can't chain people up.
719
00:40:26,049 --> 00:40:29,849
LORD AMES: There you go, you see?
Typical liberal reaction.
720
00:40:29,928 --> 00:40:33,683
AII I'm saying is, we should try it.
721
00:40:35,642 --> 00:40:38,566
I'm sorry to have kept
you waiting, my Lord.
722
00:40:38,645 --> 00:40:42,991
I lost my bearings temporarily
in the west wing.
723
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:46,198
LORD AMES:
I once had a chap before me
724
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:49,156
who'd been Caught stealing
from the mess.
725
00:40:49,238 --> 00:40:52,333
I ordered every alternate
fingernail to be removed,
726
00:40:52,408 --> 00:40:55,457
and, you know, I still get a
card from him every Christmas.
727
00:40:55,536 --> 00:40:57,459
You can go to bed at any time.
728
00:40:57,538 --> 00:40:59,006
No, no, no.
Please, I'm fine.
729
00:40:59,082 --> 00:41:00,800
I don't want to put you
to any trouble.
730
00:41:00,875 --> 00:41:01,626
Trouble?
731
00:41:01,709 --> 00:41:03,256
Well, the trouble
of getting a room ready.
732
00:41:03,336 --> 00:41:06,340
Oh, no, there are 400 rooms ready.
733
00:41:06,714 --> 00:41:08,341
Aren't there, Slatterthwaite?
734
00:41:08,424 --> 00:41:10,722
At all times, milady.
735
00:41:10,802 --> 00:41:14,432
- Oh! You must go up and change.
- I'm sorry.
736
00:41:14,555 --> 00:41:16,102
- No, no, no.
- Oh, no, please, please.
737
00:41:16,182 --> 00:41:19,106
- You must get out of these wet clothes.
- No, no, no, no.
738
00:41:19,185 --> 00:41:21,153
You can't eat like that.
You're all sticky.
739
00:41:21,229 --> 00:41:24,028
I... I don't think I'II eat after all.
I'm not hungry anymore.
740
00:41:24,107 --> 00:41:25,484
Well, you must have something.
741
00:41:25,566 --> 00:41:26,988
No, no, Ithink
I'II go straight to bed.
742
00:41:27,110 --> 00:41:28,202
I suddenly feel terribly tired.
743
00:41:28,277 --> 00:41:30,371
There, that is a good idea.
I'II bring you a tray.
744

No, no.
I mean, er... no, thank yo...

Has he been in Africa
for a long time?
747
00:41:41,541 --> 00:41:44,090
- Ten years.
- Yes. Thought so.

Here's your room, sir.
749
00:41:46,879 --> 00:41:50,804
There's a spare nightshirt
for you, sir, on the bed.

00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:54,812
I hope you'll have
everything you want, sir.

00:41:54,887 --> 00:41:56,434
Thank yo...
752
00:42:13,656 --> 00:42:16,455
Oh, the looks
don't work anymore, sir.
753
00:42:16,534 --> 00:42:20,664

- Ah. Hmm.

What for?
764
00:43:14,467 --> 00:43:17,220
Well, we never did discuss
how much you wanted.
765
00:43:18,012 --> 00:43:19,559
For the missi�n.
766
00:43:20,098 --> 00:43:21,896
Rather late now, isn't it?
767
00:43:22,391 --> 00:43:24,940
But l may not see you
in the morning.
768
00:43:25,269 --> 00:43:28,239
You see, I...
I never get up frightfully early.

Yes, well, come in. I'II...
I'II get my...

Come in! Ah! The chair seems
to have fallen against the door.
771
00:43:40,409 --> 00:43:42,002
Er... I've got the papers,
772
00:43:42,078 --> 00:43:45,628
but I don't have the exact
figures. I wasn't exp...
773
00:43:47,416 --> 00:43:50,465
You look rather good
in Henry's nightshirt.
774
00:43:52,255 --> 00:43:56,431
Um... well, I'm very honoured
to be wearing it.
775
00:43:56,509 --> 00:44:01,060
You know, I've often wondered
what sort of things Henry wore in bed.
776
00:44:01,180 --> 00:44:02,727
Oh, you don't, en}?
777
00:44:02,807 --> 00:44:06,357
God, no. That was never
part of the arrangement.
778
00:44:06,936 --> 00:44:09,985
No, he only touches me
by accident occasionally,
779
00:44:10,106 --> 00:44:13,076
in the motor when
we turn a corner too fast.
780
00:44:13,234 --> 00:44:14,952
Oh. I'm sorry.
781
00:44:15,611 --> 00:44:16,988
There are others.
782
00:44:18,698 --> 00:44:20,621
Does that shock you?
783
00:44:21,159 --> 00:44:24,880
It shouldn't. Not if you're to be
of any help to fallen women.
784
00:44:24,954 --> 00:44:26,376
Ah! Talking of which,
785
00:44:26,455 --> 00:44:28,583
I think the first thing
to clear up, er...
786
00:44:28,666 --> 00:44:30,634
would be the purchase
of a possible mortgage.
787
00:44:30,918 --> 00:44:32,670
How much do you want?
788
00:44:32,753 --> 00:44:34,380
Well, I think we should discuss it,
don't you?
789
00:44:34,797 --> 00:44:35,969
No.
790
00:44:36,757 --> 00:44:37,599

793
00:44:43,389 --> 00:44:45,858
I know why you came here today.
794
00:44:46,225 --> 00:44:48,444
Look, I think if we confine ourselves
to financial matters,
795
00:44:48,561 --> 00:44:50,313
-it would be better for both of us.
- But don't you find me attractive?
796
00:44:50,396 --> 00:44:51,443
No, it's not that at all.
797
00:44:51,522 --> 00:44:53,240
Why did you follow me
in the street the other day?
798
00:44:53,316 --> 00:44:53,987
- Follow you?
- In London.
799
00:44:54,066 --> 00:44:56,194
- I wasn't following you.
- Why did you attack me on the boat?
800
00:44:56,277 --> 00:44:58,530
- That was an accident.
- Why did you get your fianc�e to write?
801
00:44:58,613 --> 00:44:59,910
Pure coincidence.
802
00:45:01,365 --> 00:45:02,912
Are you in love with her?
803
00:45:02,992 --> 00:45:04,539
We've been in love for eleven years.
804
00:45:04,619 --> 00:45:07,293
- You've been away ten.
- Yes, but I wrote.
805
00:45:07,371 --> 00:45:10,124
- You wrote?
- Yes, Iwrote. Er... Ietters.
806
00:45:10,208 --> 00:45:11,676
Oh, does she excite you?
807
00:45:11,751 --> 00:45:13,298
And postcards.
808
00:45:13,377 --> 00:45:14,879
May I? Thank yo...
809
00:45:14,962 --> 00:45:16,509
But if you're going to marry her,
810
00:45:16,589 --> 00:45:19,138
she should excite you
deeply, passionately.
811
00:45:19,217 --> 00:45:21,561
Well, she's not that sort of girl.
She has other qualities.
812
00:45:21,636 --> 00:45:24,480
- Oh, such as?
- She's a very good organiser.
813
00:45:24,555 --> 00:45:26,853
- That's not enough, is it?
- It's a start.
814
00:45:26,933 --> 00:45:29,231
But you want more, don't you?
That's why you came here.
815
00:45:29,310 --> 00:45:30,778
I want help
to start the missi�n.
816
00:45:30,853 --> 00:45:32,321
Well, I can give you help.

00:58:31,758 --> 00:58:34,261
I... I didn't know you were
so involved in your work.
1036
00:58:34,386 --> 00:58:36,104
Isabel, please don't go.
1037
00:58:36,221 --> 00:58:38,599
I'm in the way.
I can tell when I'm in the way.
1038
00:58:38,682 --> 00:58:40,059
- No, no, no. Vicky...
- Violet.
1039
00:58:40,142 --> 00:58:41,985
- Er, Violet. Would you and Ruby...
- Rosie.
1040
00:58:42,060 --> 00:58:44,233
Rosie. Go and clean upstairs
and get some help
1041
00:58:44,312 --> 00:58:46,690
from the three giris in my... bed.
1042
00:58:48,025 --> 00:58:49,277
What do you think of it?
1043
00:58:49,359 --> 00:58:50,986
It must be very nice for yo...
1044
00:58:51,069 --> 00:58:53,163
Isabel, what's the matter?
1045
00:58:53,822 --> 00:58:54,823
Matter?
1046
00:58:54,906 --> 00:58:57,500
Well, you sound rather less than
happy about something. Is it, er...
1047
00:58:57,576 --> 00:58:58,828
Is it the mess?
1048
00:58:58,910 --> 00:59:01,413
Listen. Since that night
at Mortonhampstead,
1049
00:59:01,496 --> 00:59:03,794
I haven't seen or heard of you.
You haven't visited me,
1050
00:59:03,915 --> 00:59:05,667
and the one time
I decide to visit you,
1051
00:59:05,751 --> 00:59:07,674
I find everyone
in one bed. Yours!
1052
00:59:07,753 --> 00:59:09,676
- Oh, Isabel, I can explain that quite easily.
- Oh, I'm sure you can.
1053
00:59:09,796 --> 00:59:12,015
You're a missionary. That's what
you're trained for, isn't it?
1054
00:59:12,090 --> 00:59:14,058
To explain things to people.
1055
00:59:14,134 --> 00:59:17,104
Isabel, these giris have no love
and affection in their lives.
1056
00:59:17,220 --> 00:59:20,645
I have to listen to them. I have to be
prepared to spend some time with them...
1057
00:59:20,807 --> 00:59:22,684
It must be avvful for yo...
1058
00:59:24,144 --> 00:59:25,771
Do you ever think of me?
1059
00:59:27,814 --> 00:59:29,441
Of course I think of you, Isabel.
1060
00:59:29,566 --> 00:59:31,318
I thought of you on Tuesday.
1061
00:59:31,401 --> 00:59:32,527
I was going to put
your name on the sign:
1062
00:59:32,611 --> 00:59:34,158
-"The Lady Ames Missi�n�.
- Oh!
1063
00:59:34,237 --> 00:59:35,363
What do you want?
1064
00:59:36,239 --> 00:59:38,913
I thought that night
was going to change our lives.
1065
00:59:39,076 --> 00:59:40,419
It did change my life, Isabel.
1066
00:59:40,494 --> 00:59:43,122
I mean, that night made
a great difference to me.
1067
00:59:43,330 --> 00:59:44,832
So I see.
1068
00:59:45,207 --> 00:59:47,175
The wedding invitation... yes.
1069
00:59:47,375 --> 00:59:49,753
That's Deborah.
She's avvfully keen on yo...
1070
00:59:49,836 --> 00:59:51,088
You can't do this to me,
Charles.
1071
00:59:51,213 --> 00:59:53,386
You can't unlock the door
and then just run away.
1072
00:59:53,507 --> 00:59:54,383
Isabel?
1073
00:59:54,466 --> 00:59:55,968
I give you fair warning.
1074
00:59:56,051 --> 00:59:57,348
If you don't help me
change my life,
1075
00:59:57,469 --> 00:59:58,516
I shall change it myself.
1076
00:59:58,595 --> 00:59:59,847
I shall start
with the bank account.
1077
00:59:59,930 --> 01:00:02,604
As you're doing so well,
you won't need my money any longer.
1078
01:00:02,682 --> 01:00:04,980
Goodbye, Charles,
and the answer is no.
1079
01:00:05,143 --> 01:00:07,362
Reverend! Reverend!
Look! It's bleeding!
1080
01:00:07,437 --> 01:00:10,611
- That bloody Lizzy Carpenter...
- Yes, yes, I see.
1081
01:00:10,690 --> 01:00:12,784
Isee.Isee.
Please, get out of the way!
1082
01:00:12,859 --> 01:00:14,031
You cow!
1083
01:00:14,111 --> 01:00:16,955
IsabeHIsabeH
1084
01:00:17,030 --> 01:00:18,953
Isabel, please!
I can explain!
1085
01:00:19,032 --> 01:00:21,376
NARRATOR:
The withdrawal of Lady Ames' funds
1086
01:00:21,451 --> 01:00:24,250
was a serious blow for
the Missi�n to Fallen Women.
1087
01:00:24,371 --> 01:00:26,920
But such was their regard
for Fortescue,
1088
01:00:26,998 --> 01:00:29,000
that the inmates
voluntarily decided
1089
01:00:29,126 --> 01:00:32,255
to go back onto the streets
to raise money.
1090
01:00:32,963 --> 01:00:36,934
The sel?ess action of the giris
did �ndeed save the missi�n,
1091
01:00:37,008 --> 01:00:41,104
but only to face another,
far more serious threat.
1092
01:00:41,179 --> 01:00:42,305
Bishop!
1093
01:00:42,389 --> 01:00:44,437
Don't let me hold up
the good work.
1094
01:00:44,516 --> 01:00:46,189
Oh, that's all right.
Plenty of willing hands.
1095
01:00:46,268 --> 01:00:48,771
- Can you take this, um...?
- Nellie.
1096
01:00:48,854 --> 01:00:49,980
How are you?
1097
01:00:50,063 --> 01:00:52,612
-28 giris last night, sir.
- Oh, good, good.
1098
01:00:52,691 --> 01:00:54,318
I'm trying to get everything
done before the wedding.
1099
01:00:54,401 --> 01:00:55,903
Oh, that's, er...
that's tomorrow, of course.
1100
01:00:55,986 --> 01:00:58,739
That's right.
Rather crept up on me, I'm afraid.
1101
01:00:58,864 --> 01:01:01,538
Fortescue, can we...
can we talk somewhere, old chap?
1102
01:01:01,616 --> 01:01:04,335
Somewhere away from the crowd?
I mean, do you have a room, or...?
1103
01:01:04,411 --> 01:01:05,788
Yes, but it's full of giris, my Lord.
1104
01:01:05,871 --> 01:01:07,873
They're painting it
while I'm away.
1105
01:01:07,956 --> 01:01:09,458
Here's probably as quiet
as anywhere.
1106
01:01:09,541 --> 01:01:10,793
Yes, but, er...
1107
01:01:10,876 --> 01:01:13,425
Oh, giris, giris, give us a
couple of minutes, would you?
1108
01:01:14,129 --> 01:01:16,052
Yes, Your Reverence.
1109
01:01:16,965 --> 01:01:20,640
Louise! Give us two minutes,
could you, please?
1110
01:01:21,219 --> 01:01:24,348
Now, what brings you down here?
1111
01:01:24,973 --> 01:01:27,146
No, to talk. To talk.
1112
01:01:27,559 --> 01:01:30,483
Ijust dropped in, actually,
on my way back from
1113
01:01:30,562 --> 01:01:31,984
the Missionary Council meeting.
1114
01:01:32,063 --> 01:01:34,407
I should imagine they must be
rather pleased with us, my Lord.
1115
01:01:34,482 --> 01:01:35,404
Well, they're a funny lot.
1116
01:01:35,483 --> 01:01:38,908
You know how, er... competitive
the churches are nowadays.
1117
01:01:38,987 --> 01:01:41,115
- Hockey, my Lord?
- No.
1118
01:01:41,198 --> 01:01:43,542
No, no, no. Religion.
1119
01:01:44,117 --> 01:01:45,243
Ah.
1120
01:01:45,327 --> 01:01:48,877
Well, to be quite blunt, we've had
complaints of unfair competition
1121
01:01:48,955 --> 01:01:50,673
from the other religions
in the area.
1122
01:01:50,749 --> 01:01:52,467
The Catholics, the Methodists,
1123
01:01:52,542 --> 01:01:55,045
the Unitarians, and Anabaptists.
1124
01:01:55,128 --> 01:01:57,722
Um... they've all had
to close missions,
1125
01:01:57,839 --> 01:02:00,092
becausethey,en_
they can't get the giris.
1126
01:02:00,175 --> 01:02:02,348
Well, that's rather a feather
in our cap, isn't it, my Lord?
1127
01:02:02,427 --> 01:02:05,476
Well, it's the grounds of
the complaints, I'm afraid.
1128
01:02:05,555 --> 01:02:06,807
What grounds?
1129
01:02:06,890 --> 01:02:08,563
I should pad up, Fortescue.
1130
01:02:08,642 --> 01:02:12,988
I'm going to bowl you
some rather fast balls.
1131
01:02:13,063 --> 01:02:16,488
-(GIGGLING)
- No! Giris! Later! Later, please!
1132
01:02:18,193 --> 01:02:20,412
Now, Father D'Arcy of
the Society of Jes�s
1133
01:02:20,487 --> 01:02:21,830
Claims he knows for certain
1134
01:02:21,905 --> 01:02:25,626
that you've had sexual dealings
with a Miss Ada Shields,
1135
01:02:25,700 --> 01:02:28,249
a well-known and apparently
unrepentant lady of the streets,
1136
01:02:28,328 --> 01:02:30,956
who resides at
41G Willis Building.
1137
01:02:31,039 --> 01:02:33,212
And Mr Penny of the
First Risen Church of God
1138
01:02:33,291 --> 01:02:34,964
says that giris
who used to come to him
1139
01:02:35,043 --> 01:02:40,174
now go to you because you
offer them, er... sexual favour.
1140
01:02:40,257 --> 01:02:42,430
And furthermore, Mr Hardy
1141
01:02:42,550 --> 01:02:44,473
of the Hackney Wick
Methodist Community Hall
1142
01:02:44,552 --> 01:02:47,977
says that he's seen you
through the window �helping giris�.
1143
01:02:48,139 --> 01:02:51,564
- I can explain, my Lord.
- There's no need to, old boy. No need to.
1144
01:02:51,643 --> 01:02:53,361
I know what you say is true,
1145
01:02:53,436 --> 01:02:56,781
but once tongues start wagging...
1146
01:02:57,816 --> 01:02:59,443
Look, I'm your greatest supporter.
1147
01:02:59,526 --> 01:03:01,199
You played a cracking innings here,
1148
01:03:01,278 --> 01:03:04,373
but I think the time has come,
especially on the eve of your marriage,
1149
01:03:04,489 --> 01:03:05,741
to think of moving on.
1150
01:03:05,824 --> 01:03:08,247
- Moving on?
- We've found an excellent successor,
1151
01:03:08,326 --> 01:03:09,543
a lady of great character,
1152
01:03:09,661 --> 01:03:11,755
thoroughly trained
in the prison service...
1153
01:03:11,830 --> 01:03:13,127
But I can't leave the giris.
1154
01:03:13,415 --> 01:03:15,509
Well, I'm afraid it's either that
or the, er...
1155
01:03:15,583 --> 01:03:17,460
Missionary Council
close the place down,
1156
01:03:17,585 --> 01:03:19,804
and consider disciplinary action
of some sort,
1157
01:03:19,879 --> 01:03:21,881
and that's not worth it
with a career like yours,
1158
01:03:21,965 --> 01:03:23,512
now is it, old chap?
1159
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:27,225
I'II lay you an odds-on bet you could
be a bishop yourself in five years.
1160
01:03:27,304 --> 01:03:29,773
- Who, me?
- Oh yes, if you play your cards right.
1161
01:03:29,848 --> 01:03:32,146
I have it on very high authority.
1162
01:03:32,225 --> 01:03:35,229
One of the better dioceses,
nothing too industrial.
1163
01:03:36,104 --> 01:03:37,651
Just what Deborah always wanted.
1164
01:03:37,772 --> 01:03:39,740
A big old house
swarming with children.
1165
01:03:39,816 --> 01:03:41,784
Absolutely, and why not?
1166
01:03:41,860 --> 01:03:44,784
Don't throw your future
away down here, Fortescue.
1167
01:03:44,863 --> 01:03:46,661
These people aren't worth it.
1168
01:03:46,740 --> 01:03:48,162
Well, I must be on my way.
1169
01:03:48,241 --> 01:03:50,790
I've got an exorcism in Chiswick.
1170
01:03:51,578 --> 01:03:53,626
BISHOP:
Talking about big old houses,
1171
01:03:53,705 --> 01:03:56,083
I'm sorry to hear about
our friend Lady Ames.
1172
01:03:56,207 --> 01:03:57,834
We've coped very well
without her money, my Lord.
1173
01:03:57,917 --> 01:03:59,294
In fact, rather better.
1174
01:03:59,377 --> 01:04:02,256
No, no, I mean the nasty business
down at Mortonhampstead yesterday.
1175
01:04:02,339 --> 01:04:03,716
- What nasty business?
- Oh, rather unpleasant.
1176
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,559
Someone poisoned the food.
One of the gardeners died outright.
1177
01:04:06,676 --> 01:04:07,768
CHARLES:
How dreadful.
1178
01:04:07,844 --> 01:04:11,474
Yes, well, it could've been
a great deal worse.
1179
01:04:11,556 --> 01:04:14,105
The butler took
the wrong turning.
1180
01:04:14,184 --> 01:04:18,610
The food was apparently intended
for Lord Ames himself.
1181
01:04:19,314 --> 01:04:20,987
Thank yo...
1182
01:04:21,691 --> 01:04:23,238
Well, cheer up.
1183
01:04:23,735 --> 01:04:24,861
I, er...
1184
01:04:25,487 --> 01:04:27,660
I think you've made
the right decisi�n.
1185
01:04:28,531 --> 01:04:29,828
LADY AMES'.
I give you fair warning.
1186
01:04:29,908 --> 01:04:31,410
If you're not going
to help me change my life,
1187
01:04:31,493 --> 01:04:33,416
I shall change �t myself.
1188
01:04:57,602 --> 01:04:59,821
(BELL JANGLING)
1189
01:05:04,901 --> 01:05:07,029
Afternoon, sir. The dog.
1190
01:05:07,195 --> 01:05:09,664
- What?
- The dog awaits.
1191
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:14,040
Mr Cariton, the second footman,
will collect on Tuesday, sir.
1192
01:05:14,119 --> 01:05:16,167
- Don't you remember me?
- Yes, of course, sir.
1193
01:05:16,246 --> 01:05:19,170
You are Mr Emmanuel,
the dog clipper from Faversham.
1194
01:05:19,249 --> 01:05:21,092
No, my name is Fortescue,
the missionary.
1195
01:05:21,167 --> 01:05:22,384
I stayed here once.
1196
01:05:22,502 --> 01:05:24,004
Fortescue...
1197
01:05:24,087 --> 01:05:28,342
Medium height, dark hair,
moustache, dog collar.
1198
01:05:28,425 --> 01:05:30,928
Yes, yes, that's me.

at filling �t with giris,
1457
01:21:19,917 --> 01:21:22,011

1458

himself closed �t down.

Fortescue a simple choice:

01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:42,110
to stay in Dock/and,
or stay in the Church.
1462
01:21:42,189 --> 01:21:44,533

a dog collar again,
1464
