All language subtitles for The Hardacres 2024 S02E05 1080p WEB-DL HEVC x265 BONE

Mrs. Hardacre is entirely unqualified.

Her classroom is a hotbed of immorality.
You didn't tell your father about the

Culling Machine investment.

I want it to be a surprise.

Mr. Hardacre, will you marry me? The man
seems too good to be true.

My dearest Arthur, I have developed
feelings towards you of a romantic

This is it. This is our job. Now we
prepare our attack.

Captain Blackwood has squandered the
family fortune.

I'm nothing but a liar. No one messes
with a heartbreaker. No one.

Load those up on the cart, please.

Ma 'am, you know I'm not one to
complain, but we only have two days to

this harvest festival, and we're
stretched thin as a team. Mrs Dryden, I

promised the vicar I'd help, and Liza
needs a detraction after that idiot

Blackwood Broker had.

Oh, no, no, this is wrong.

Maybe we'll use those apples for
bobbing, and then dress it with some

decorations and make it look old. Liza,
I wouldn't worry too much how it will

look. Let's just focus on the big
picture. We've got to get the village

ready for tomorrow.

We've got the stage for the performance.
We've got the tables for the tasting

competition. Did you find any volunteers
for the poetry reading?

Um... What about a judge for the tasting
competition?

Not yet.

Liza.

Liza, I know you're upset.

Oh, Mum, I'm fine.

Right. Right.

Not to worry.

We'll, um... We'll have our own students
read.

Maggie.

Maggie, please.

Please, look, it'll be good for the
school.

It'll be good for you.

Imagine if you were to run a house one
day.

A lot more goes into running a house
than reading.

All right.

I'll do it.

Excellent. And ask the others tonight.

Oh, and Mr Beasley, would you mind being
the judge of the tasting competition?

A conflict of interest, I'm afraid, ma
'am.

My elderflower cordials won four years
in a row, and I'm going for five.

Right. Well, Mrs Dryden, then?

Well, aren't you stretched too thin?

In the community spirit, I would be
happy to assist with the judging. Well,

there we go.

We'll pull the whole thing off without a
hit.

Cheers.

It's tart.

I know.

But people do like a stiff drink.

It's rhubarb cordial, George. It's not
gin.

Yes, you're right.

I thought maybe I could enter it into
the Harvest Festival competition.

There I go again.

Another ridiculous idea.

That's enough of that.

It's almost there. It just needs a bit
more sugar.

You think it's in with a chance?

You'll knock the clocks off.

I agree.

Nothing ventures, eh?

Yes.

Now, to find some sugar.

Ah! I was hoping to see you before you
left.

I fear I am facing a bit of a social
calamity. Right.

You've heard of the Devon sisters, I
presume.

Obscenely wealthy, renowned card
players.

Not a clue. Were they from round here?
Oh, no, they're passing through

and demanding a bridge game, no less. I
thought of asking Emma, but...

Poor Mesh.

You'll have to repeat that, love.

Poor Mesh.

It's a term one uses when bridge
partners can't communicate.

Oh, well, I haven't suffered from that
myself.

I have come so close to beating those
women multiple times.

And with the right partner, I know I
could win.

Now, you and I, there's a pair.

Well, how did they beat you before?

Oh, they upped the bid at the last
minute, pricing everyone out. Oh, crafty

buggers. Well, they couldn't pull that
with you. Well, there's nothing I love

more than parting rich folk from their
money, but...

A game like that. This is my reputation.

I wouldn't ask if I didn't think we
could win.

All right.

I'll have to look into this mesh thing,
but... Go on, then.

Consider us a team.

Bravo!

Right. What's all the secrecy for?

I'm surprised, yeah.

It's, uh...

A

canning machine?

Yeah.

We've had problems moving some of the
stock, and this could guarantee you to

prolong its life.

Right. What is it?

It's not here yet.

It was to be delivered at ten, no?

Well, uh... Well, it'll be here any
minute, so...

Well, let's hope so.

Darling, we met you at lunch.

What's the matter?

What was that?

I took something I shouldn't have.

It was a letter from one of the
Hardacres.

Harry.

Did you read it?

No, I promise I didn't.

Well, this can easily be fixed.

Letter go missing.

And the sender simply writes it again if
they need.

Should I not try to return it?

Perhaps. But can you imagine if you're
caught?

Can you explain your actions?

No, the best thing for you and the
heartache is to destroy it.

Have I lost you, Harry?

You seem distracted today.

I'd like my letter back.

What letter?

Your letter.

Didn't get it?

No. What was in it?

You didn't?

Really?

Oh, it was a new reading list I'd been
working on. I got excited and...

I put it under your bedroom door. I
thought maybe you didn't like the books.

You should have said something sooner.

Do up the list again and I'll order them
as a priority.

I'm sure I'll love this selection.

Maybe one of the servants took it by
mistake whilst they were cleaning.

OK, look here.

It was definitely scheduled to be
delivered today.

Wait, you tell them that we want a
discount for every day that it's late,

we're not giving them a penny until
then.

We've already paid.

What? It was half up front and half when
it's delivered.

Look, Dad, we double -checked
everything.

You don't have to worry.

Okay, there are offices in Leeds. I'll
go there.

Line this whole thing up. Thank you,
Sean.

And remember, the Harvest Festival's
here in two days, so if anyone can do a

reading at all, talk to me after the
lesson.

I'm worried I've messed up the words.

Oh, you've nothing to worry about,
Maggie.

Yeah, you're more than capable.

I mark up the poem just like we've been
practising.

I'll have it sent over to Hardacre Hall
tomorrow.

And you'll be coming to the festival
too, won't you, Lady Emma?

I suppose I can.

Good. I'll stand right there in your
eyeline, Maggie.

in the middle of a lesson here, Mr...
Mr. Bartholomew Balfour from the

Vigilance Association.

I'm sorry, the what?

You heard me.

I've received complaints about this
school and I must iron out a few details

before I leave for York.

Complaints?

Yes. About your teaching method.

From who?

That, madam, is confidential.

Listen, if you've got a problem that
you'd like to discuss, we can schedule a

time. No, thank you. I'll address this
matter directly with your husband.

I set up this school.

You'll address me.

Do you know, I had thought the fears
about you might be trumped -up

Clearly, I was mistaken.

Tell Mr. Hardacre to expect my visit.

You need to be careful, Mary.

Bartholomew Bartholomew is a powerful
man.

They're not great.

They're brilliant, Liza.

Right, let's get them down to the
village hall and I'll set up.

Well, I thought this was meant to be
fun.

Well, it is fun.

We just need to put in the work first.

Look, I know you're heartbroken. I'm not
bloody heartbroken.

God, I'm not with that liar.

Just because Edward lied, it doesn't
make what you felt any different. Well,

would you know, Mum?

I don't care about Edward.

And I don't care about this stupid
harvest festival.

The Vigilance Association paid a visit
to the school yesterday.

I am glad Bartholomew finally went to
investigate.

Indeed.

At least you won't have to teach those
dreadful classes anymore.

Once Bartholomew sees what Mrs.
Hardacre's really like, he will shut her

don't want the Fitzherbert name
associated.

When the school becomes a scandal, you
must remove yourself.

But these pupils haven't done anything
wrong.

I hope you're not blaming me for this
outcome. All I did was pass on the

information that you provided.

Oh, Emma, you're not starting to enjoy
her company.

Of course not. Good.

I have my own plan in motion.

By tomorrow, the Hardacres will be
finished.

All you have to do is stay away from
them.

Do I make myself clear?

Crystal, Mama.

You know, Emma said it was some sort of
morality police association.

But I want to know who made that
complaint.

Maybe it's Franny's husband.

Well, I'll get to the bottom of it. I'm
trying to get the student's job.

Oh, is that what we're calling it? Mary,
and Fultonham's not going to get rid of

him. Right. So what do you propose we
do, then?

We do nothing.

He's coming to see me. Uh, it's my
school.

And I have no problem telling him where
to stick it.

You're fired up. He means business.
You're never going to reach an agreement

like that.

Who did I have to agree with?

So Mr Balfour has arrived.

Thank you, Beazley.

You need him to be on your side for this
to go away. So flatter him if you have

to. Let him think that he's won the
battle. That way, you can win the war.

Can I pour you a glass?

Drunkenness blinds good men to the
immorality they're steeped in.

What can I do for you, Mr. Balfour?

Concerns have been raised about your
wife's classes.

They're just getting help with her
reading.

I don't see a problem with that. Well,
I've been called in to make an

of this school.

My duties include weeding out immorality
and vice.

But I now have other concerns.

Your wife, sir, simply lacks the
temperament fitting for a teacher.

Education and religion are the
cornerstones of our society.

If your wife makes a mockery of that, it
won't end well for either of you.

Mary takes this very seriously.

Oh, come now, Mr. Hardacre. You're more
intelligent than that. You're a

businessman. Your shops are reliant on
customers, are they not?

Well, as rumors travel, this school will
not only reflect poorly on your wife,

it will impact your business.

Is that a threat?

No, sir.

This is an ultimatum.

Your wife is not an educator, Mr.
Hardacre. Tell her to step back from

or I will be left with no choice but to
shut down this school.

Your presence is needed urgently at the
village hall.

There has to be a compromise.

Mr. Balfour. Mr.

Balfour, I think we got off on the wrong
foot yesterday, and I would very much

like to invite you to the Harvest
Festival tomorrow.

Now, I understand you have some
concerns.

The Harvest Festival is the workers, not
the upper classes.

Yes, but it's a celebration for the
village, and there's going to be food,

the students are going to read poetry,
and you'll see the benefit of the

Look, a month ago, they could hardly
read letters. And now they're reading in

front of a whole hall full of people.

Well, I've seen all I need to see. I've
given your husband my recommendation.

Look, please, Mr. Balfour.

I wrote to you yesterday, and I
apologize for that. But if you come

you'll see what I'm trying to achieve.

The school needs all the support it can
get. And I want to show you the progress

I've made. And I want to show you that
people's concerns are nonsense.

Very well. I would like to put this
matter to bed as swiftly as possible. If

can demonstrate that your teaching
methods are effective, I will happily

you be.

Well, thank you, sir. Thank you.

Mary.

Ma 'am, there won't be a harvest
festival at all if decisions aren't made

Mary, what's the problem?

Come with me, please, ma 'am.

Well? Their offices are empty.

Did you get a forward in the draft?

I'm trying to find one.

Callum, there has to be an explanation.

What about those Americans you were
speaking to? I'm making inquiries,

fear we may also need to notify the
police.

Why the hell would we do that?

To declare the money stolen.

Joe, I believe these were complete con
men.

No, can we have the beer in the corner,
please, love? This is a big game,

though. In bridge, understanding
someone's decision is imperative.

Poor Mesh can make or break a game.
Right.

It's an honor to be invited.

I speak to your talents.

And the talents of your teacher.

Oh, okay.

I need to find out whether we've got
good mesh before I agree.

Then practice with Lady Hanson. Can you
spot your partner's plays?

What is she telling you about her hand?

What are her bids revealing to you?

You mean try and figure out what her
cards are?

You must be careful. She can't visually
hint to a specific card. That's

cheating. But she can hint to a strong
or weak hand.

Oh. You mean like tells in poker?

No.

Breach is a respectable game.

Cards are cards, Mrs Dean, no matter
what fancy name you give them. Right, I

need to practice. Look,

I can explain to your father what a
sophisticated

operation this was. He won't care, Carl.

Not when he finds out I haven't even
seen the canning machine. Joe, this

have happened to anyone.

No, it was my mistake.

I need to tell him myself.

Oh, sorry. I was going to wait here for
Joe. I'll go somewhere else. No, it's

fine. I'll go.

Are you all right, Liza?

Everyone will stop asking me that.

You should have just left Will enough
alone.

You deserve to be with someone who...
Everybody's a bloody expert on what I

deserve.

Callum, you could have just come to me.

Instead of involving my whole family. I
didn't think it would be appropriate

coming from me. So why did you get
involved at all then? I'm sorry.

I told you I'll speak to him later.

Good day, Miss Weiser.

It was me.

Who asked Callum to look into that slimy
Blackwood?

If you want to be angry with anyone, be
angry with me.

I'm angry with myself for being a bloody
fool.

Blackwood is a fool.

Don't you ever forget that.

There's better things to do with your
life than marriage and men.

Eh?

Have you heard from Lady Fitzherbert?

No, why?

She told me she'd mark up my poem, but
it never arrived.

I know. Perhaps she got busy, love.

Will she be here tomorrow?

I don't know.

I'm sure Lady Emma won't let us down.

I'll help you practice. Just hang on a
minute there. I need to go by the door.

All right, Mum.

It's OK, Mum.

I can practice by myself.

Is that your poem?

All right, come on.

Then we'll practice now.

Mum. Thank you, Mrs. Adhika.

Come, ye thankful people.

Come. How could you let this happen?

They were a sophisticated scheme.

Callum said so himself.

The shops are just back on their feet.

We still can't move some of our
products.

And you spend a chunk of money that we
don't have on a machine that you didn't

even see. The world's moving fast.

That's what you said.

All I'm trying to do is make these shops
work. Oh, really?

By overstocking them? We needed variety.

By selling rotten fish? We used those
methods for years at Shaw's and no one

sick. I like the camera machine, Joe.

Yeah, I trusted the wrong people, but it
was a good idea.

You still can't take responsibility.

I'm trying to, but you won't let me.
I've given you every opportunity, Joe.

you've done is breathe down my neck
since the day you gave me the bloody

If you don't trust me, then why did you
ask me to do it? I only gave you the job

because I didn't want you to leave.

I didn't mean that, Joe.

I know you're not.

Damn it.

No bridge.

I'm practising with them elder later.

Well, I suppose I should be relieved
that you're not down the pub betting on

poker.

I won't make a respectable lady of you
yet.

I'm worried about Liza.

She'll be all right.

I just wish she'd stop being so stubborn
and let me help her.

Reminds me of someone.

You know, I'm worried I'm going about it
all the wrong way.

Not Liza.

Or this thing with the school.

Both.

Trust your gut.

Yeah. That's what's got me in trouble so
far.

No.

Change always causes a bit of trouble.

I know.

What happened?

Don't talk to me.

That tally machine I bought.

They were a con.

Lost the money.

I'm sorry, love.

One more disappointment to add to my
dad's list.

Mistakes happen.

But he put you in charge. Don't forget
that.

Only because he was afraid of me
quitting altogether.

He doesn't see me running the business.

Did he say that?

I don't know why I bother trying.

People say things in the heat of the
moment.

We're lucky to have you.

And if he can't see that, maybe it's
time for us to make a change.

Queen of clubs.

Another trick.

Well, of course we're going to win
playing like this.

No, no, it's not just about winning.

We're learning about each other.

I've seen several of your tells.

Oh, give over. I've given notes away.

You shift to the left of your seat.

When you make a bid, you're not sure we
can win.

The chair's lumpy. And you scratch your
eyebrow when you've been dealt a bad

hand. You need to get your eyes checked.

It's not an insult.

We're playing well together because of
it.

OK.

When you have a good hand, you put your
little finger on the edge of the card

and whenever you have diamonds, you
touch your brooch. You see?

It's working.

Good mesh.

Diamond, yes.

But how can we be sure when we're
playing with an open hand?

Then let's play properly.

Brand, fetch Lord and Lady Fitzherbert,
please.

Yes, Mother.

Isn't it strange how so many people have
a problem with the score?

It just feels like from day one it's
been problem after problem.

You know, teachers don't like it.
Husbands don't like it.

Let's just hope Balfour's impressed.

Or you might have to step back.

You're not serious?

Mary, that association could ruin our
family name.

Never mind severely damage the business.

Don't be ridiculous.

Don't be naive.

We need to think about family security.

You're jeopardising our reputation.

Joe's throwing away money that we don't
have. Is this about family, Sam?

Because it sounds a lot like business to
me.

The business is part of our family. I'm
not saying the shops aren't important.

But so is this goal, and so are our
children.

Balfour has it in for you.

We could lose everything if you don't
stop.

I set out to do something, and I'm going
to see it through.

We can't win every bottle, Mary.

Oh, we can try.

Eleven tricks, and that's the game. Oh,
dear.

I think we've had quite enough for one
night.

George. Oh, yes, yes, yes.

I bid you good night.

Good night.

There. Are you convinced?

Oh, we are bloody decent, all right.

I can't wait to see the look on their
faces when we win.

It's where it hurts, the pride and their
purses. Oh, speaking of purses, what

will you bring at collateral?

Collateral? Well, it's... routine in
games of this caliber. What kind of

collateral? Well, I'll bring rubies, but
in the absence of precious gems,

the deeds to a house, like Hardacre Hall
would suffice.

You know, the usual.

Okay. The usual, right.

Well, I'd be happy to provide collateral
for us both.

If you can't afford it.

The hard acres are bloody good for it.

I will be here tomorrow with the
collateral.

Oh, excellent.

Cheer.

Darling, are you ready? We don't want to
be late.

Are you ready for the Harlots Festival,
dear?

I have a dreadful migraine. I just don't
think I can manage it.

Mary would have to organise the students
on her own. Of course.

Better you're not there to see me lose.

I'm sure you'll do wonderfully, George.

Please offer my deepest apologies to Mrs
Hardacre.

Of course.

Best you feel better, dear.

Hello, ladies.

Good to see you. I'm so glad you're
here. Don't forget to buy some biscuits.

All right.

Oh, and your bread is the best. Not
forgetting yours.

Oh, thank you, Sardegar.

What a meeting.

Mr.

Beasley. Mom.

Can't wait to try. Mrs. Sardegar, how
are you? George.

Please feel free to abide.

I will. I've heard great things about
your rhubarb. That's your leisure,

Mrs. Henderson, you never let us down.

Thank you, ma 'am. Are we all in good
order?

Get in there, ma 'am. Good.

Good, good.

Oh, it's you.

You smell wonderful.

Here, I'll have a go.

Here we go.

Welcome to the Hardacre Harvest
Festival.

Now, I've got something to show you.

Come on.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

No, I shouldn't have pushed you when you
were upset.

I'm not upset.

All right.

Look.

Lemon drops. Yeah, you see?

No good harvest festival goes without
them.

Listen, the right person's out there,
love.

Someone that you can trust.

Why, there isn't, though.

What do you mean?

Gerald's working.

Harry's got university.

What do I do if I don't get married?

With Edward, I could see something in my
future, at least.

It just don't seem fair.

I know.

I know, and I'm sorry, love.

I'm so frustrated.

I've got lots of dreams, Betsy.

You know that.

But I can't do them with him breathing
down my neck.

You fixated on winning his approval.

I've got dreams too, Joe.

And do you know what they all start
with?

Our family.

You, me, and little Samuel.

I keep imagining what it would feel like
if we felt free to build the life we

wanted.

I imagine it too, Betsy.

Well, you know what it'd mean.

Mr. Walford, thank you for coming.

Mr. Hardacre, pleasure.

Mrs. Hardacre?

Oh.

This, uh, Vigilance Society.

National Vigilance Association.

Right, of course, the National Vigilance
Association.

What's it do exactly?

Well, it's a self -appointed society,
more of a vocation, really.

We uphold moral standards for the
collective good.

Well, that's, um, that's very
thoughtful.

So you appoint yourselves and then you
decide what is and isn't moral?

Yes. And that includes schools?

It includes anything that may expose
citizens to illicit materials or radical

thoughts. Oh, I can assure you, Mr.
Barber, we haven't nothing like that in

school.

Usually we work with the Board of
Education, which has appointed teachers

trained professionals.

What you've set up is different.

But it's hardly the worst of its kind.

Indeed, indeed.

I just want to help in whatever way I
can, and this class is doing some real

good, Mr. Balfour.

Lovely sentiment, Mrs. Hardacre.

Let me be the judge of that.

Lady Agatha and Lady Caroline, you're
most welcome.

Shall we get the business out of the
way?

Collateral.

My rare rubies from Burma.

A promissory note to my house in
Cornwall.

And mine in Windsor.

And mine in Yorkshire.

Let's begin.

Third prize.

Second

prize.

No hard feelings.

And first prize,

this exquisite rhubarb cordial.

Bravo.

I do love a sharp drink in autumn.

Congratulations. Thank you so much.
Thank you, George.

Best of three.

Are we agreed?

Absolutely.

It'll only take two games to wipe the
floor with them.

Confident. They're always confident to
begin.

Bidding. One heart.

No bid.

Two hearts.

No bid.

Four hearts.

No bid.

No bid.

No bid.

May I lead?

You may.

Hello, everybody. Hello.

Good to get your attention. Thank you.

I hope you're enjoying the harvest
festivities. Now...

I'd like to invite some of our students
up to recite some Harvest poetry.

If you'd like to just join me in. And
welcome them.

We welcome Maggie to the stage.

I think you'll enjoy this.

That's our first win.

Eleven tricks.

Told you. You two were in trouble.

Ready for round two?

Be right.

Betsy. Betsy, get up there.

Oh, dear.

Come, ye thankful people, come.

Come, ye thankful people, come.

Raise the song of harvest home.

All is safely gathered in.

Ere the winter storms begin.

God our maker doth provide.

For our wants to be supplied.

Come to God's own temple come.

Raise the song of harvest home.

All the world is God's own field.

Fruit is praise to God we yield.

Wheat and tare together sown, are to joy
our sorrow grown.

First the blade, and then the ear, then
the full corn shall appear.

Ten tricks, our game.

Still confident?

We've still got the last hand.

Winner takes all.

Is Joe here?

Oh, what's happened, Moe? No, no, no, I
have good news. The company we bought

the canning machine from were in touch.

So they haven't pulled a fast one? No.
Some of their workers came down with

Russian flu while they were moving
offices.

Dreadful. Pardon? The machine will
arrive next week.

Tell Joe Airworm an apology.

But he was still raggedy.

Well?

Splendid day, Mrs. Hardacre.

You've done a wonderful job.

Thank you, sir.

I'm not sure why anyone was so
concerned.

Your students can barely get to a poem.

Excuse me?

When I first met you, I was somewhat
concerned. A woman with little education

herself, attempting to teach others.

Now, hold on here a minute.

No, no, Sam.

Let Mr. Balfour tell us what he thinks.

What I mean is, I can see you're just
like all the other women of your ilk.

Bored, money to spare, a whim of an
idea.

Why, I doubt this school will make it
through winter before you move on to

something else.

That said, I do have a few suggestions
I'd like to offer.

This school?

Not our thing. I think he's well aware
of that. No, no, no. Why should we bow

down to someone like him?

He ain't got a bloody clue what he's
talking about.

How dare you?

No, how dare you judge us?

Now, this school is changing things.

Education is powerful.

They've given our students a voice.

Avoid to stand up to the landlord, to
their employers. Well, even to their own

bloody husband.

Mr Hardwick, are you going to allow your
wife to speak to me this way?

Allow?

Yeah, because that's what it's all
about, isn't it, Mr Balfour?

Allowing.

You are treading on dangerous territory.

Well, I must be doing something right
then.

My wife has a point, Mr Balfour.

You saw the students for yourself.

This is about changing things. Surely
that's what matters.

I can and will close down this school.

Well, you do as you must.

But if people want an education, they're
going to go looking for it. If anyone

is to educate the people around here, it
will be done the right way.

I will contact the Board of Education
and request an immediate intervention.

This school is finished.

Good day to you.

Let's make this more interesting.

Raise the bed.

You want to play the collateral?

Is that more than you can spare?

This is so typical.

You have a bad hand, and you're hoping
that by pricing us out, we'll pass.

And you'll start a new contract.

We could just call it quits.

We each won one game.

Oh, hang on.

We've already started the third game.

The cards are dealt.

If you're certain that you'll win, then
there shouldn't be an issue raising the

bet. The only other option is forfeit.

Let play.

I return in a blaze of glory!

Give me the goblet, quickly!

To the victor, the spoiled!

I won!

Well done, George.

We must all have a taste. How did the
reading go?

Oh, the students did splendidly.

And Maggie.

Wonderfully. Oh, thank goodness.

But I overheard word that the school was
to be shut down.

I'm sorry, darling. I don't know how
much you enjoy teaching.

Papa, bring the cordial over.

I'm sorry, Mary.

Is there anything I can do?

No.

You're right.

There are some that we can't win.

What am I going to tell him?

You're going to tell him that you tried
everything that you could.

Sometimes things don't work out the way
we want them to. You know that.

Yeah.

Six tricks to us.

We have six too.

Next trick wins.

My lead.

Our trick.

And our game.

What? I thought we had it. I thought you
had the jack of diamonds.

Oh, dear.

You've lost it hard. Are you going to
haul?

I've come to collect a debt.

Tell us you haven't bet the house of
cards. Proof of collateral was required.

I've looked up my way. Perhaps you
should.

Everyone's free to turn for that
election.

Even a woman.

I'm just exploring new ideas on how to
grow the business. And you like mine?

Yes, absolutely.

What else?

Why are you taking away everything I
worked so hard for? I don't want to be a

part of your new fangled vision of the
future.

It's a scandalous letter. It's come into
my possession.

It was written by your youngest son.

How did you get hold of it? We have to
do something.

We're helpless to stop her.
