[Slibning]

EDWARD: [Sukkenes]

Hvor længe, ​​fru Bridges?

Indtil det er gjort, og ikke før.

EDWARD: Nå, da er det, så?

Når din arm dråber ud.

Se, jeg skulle være en lakaj, ikke en is maker.

Dette er kokkepige arbejde, det er.

Ruby kunne ikke slå håndtaget på en musikalsk kasse,

endsige en ting som dette.

Jeg sagde plukke dem over, Ruby, ikke spise dem.

Blinkin' orgel kværn, det er mig.

Alt, hvad jeg behøver, er en abe på dette. [Efterligne abe]

Se det!

Skal jeg vaske dem?

Vask jordbær! Selve idéen.

Tag væk enhver god smag, de har fået.

Du ved, da jeg var en pige, jordbær havde smag.

Nu, er det så meget vat vat.

Åh, jeg er træt af ikke at lave mad.

"Noget koldt, fru Bridges," siger hun.

Hvordan jeg længes efter at få mine hænder på en pæn fårelår.

Åh, du ikke ønsker gas går i dette vejr, fru Bridges.

Vi havde alle kvalt.

Ønsker ikke at ting går alligevel.

Hvad skal vi have i aften, fru Bridges?

Laks. Samme som dem.

Åh, nej, ikke igen.

Jeg kan ikke lide det.

Så du vil gå sulten.

Hvis jeg forlader denne i spisekammer anden dag,

det vil gå ud på egne ben.

Hvordan er vi slukket for is, fru Bridges?

Det er i vasken, Mr. Hudson, hvad der er tilbage af det.

Tak skal du have.

Åh, Edward, gå og fjerne ét sted i spisestuen.

Der vil kun være to til middag i aften.

Åh, drat!

Føreren vil blive madsted, fru Bridges, på sin klub.

Jack Challen?

Ja.

- Jeg er ked af, men ... - Det er Dick ...

Ja, Bellamy. Åh, det er dig.

Jeg kan næsten ikke tro det.

Nå, jeg vidste ikke engang, du var medlem her.

Kun. Jeg bor i landet nu.

Næppe nogensinde kommer ind her.

Nå, det er en syg vind. Det har været æsler år.

Nå, da Paris, da du var grand anden sekretær

og jeg var ydmyg fjerde.

Ja, forenet i vores afsky for den første sekretær.

For ikke at nævne ambassadør.

Åh, Bunting, jeg vil have nogle flere.

- Vil du have noget whisky? - Åh, ja, tak.

Jeg kan ikke blive længe. Jeg har fået at fange et tog.

Nå, sidde ned i fem minutter.

Er du stadig med udenrigsministeriet?

Nej, jeg blev gift i handel.

Jeg elskede pige og havde brug for pengene.

Jeg foretrækker det nu.

Jeg var ked af at læse om din kone.

RICHARD: Tak.

Jeg siger, dette sted, det er ligesom et lighus.

Ja. godt, London er altid kedelige denne tid af året.

Huset i fordybningen, alle væk.

Nå, skulle du komme væk selv.

Ingen steder at gå.

Oh. Intet land sæde?

Nej, nej. Himlene, nej.

Kun vores London hus nu, og der hører til min søn.

Jeg bare bord der.

Tak skal du have.

Bare en lille, tak.

RICHARD: Tak, Bunting.

Har du nogensinde komme ned til Southwold disse dage?

RICHARD: Aldrig. Marjorie fætter er ikke ...

Ooh!

Jeg har fået en klud. Det er en ny vandlås.

Nej, det er i orden. Nej, der er ingen skade sket.

- Meget ked af det, sir. - Det vil ikke pletter.

Nej nej. Det vil sandsynligvis ødelægge den krølle.

Intet mere.

Look, bare giv mig en lille sodavand i glasset, skal du,

og omhyggeligt, nu.

Det er rigtigt. Det er nok.

- Den viser ikke. - Nej nej nej nej.

Ah, hvor var vi?

Åh, ja, om din situation.

Ja.

Tja, det er virkelig ingen af ​​min virksomhed.

Tja, jeg er nu en af ​​de forarmede enkemænd

med en lille indkomst og meget lidt kapital.

Åh, jeg siger. Det er råddent for dig.

Sig mig, Dick, gør du ...

behøver du nogensinde gamble på børsen - aktier, pakker?

Åh, aldrig. Alt et mysterium for mig.

Ja, godt.

Jeg skal komme til stationen.

RICHARD: Nå, kan du ikke spise og gå senere?

- Jeg er på min egen nu. - Ak, nej.

Min formand kommer til weekenden

og da han også sker for at være min far-in-law,

Jeg skal komme tilbage.

RICHARD: Nå, det har været godt at se dig igen.

Vi mødes næste gang jeg i London.

- Vi skal. - Ja.

- Farvel. - Farvel.

Dick, it's just a thought.

RICHARD: Yes, what's that?

I'd like to give you a tip, if I may.

Well, thank you, Jack, but I never back horses.

No, it isn't a horse.

Any spare cash that you do have, anything you can raise,

buy Cartwrights Engineering.

They're a motor-car firm.

Might just ease your situation.

Well, that's very kind of you,

but surely all motor-car firms are as dead as the dodo.

Even I know that.

Too much competition for too small a market.

Isn't that what they say?

Sorry, Jack.

You will be sorry if you don't.

Do you mean that?

I promise you.

But there is one thing that you must promise me.

For reasons which I can't disclose,

you must not mention to anyone that I told you to buy them.

It must be absolutely confidential.

Word of honour.

I must be going.

Look, Jack, let me have your address.

Cartwright Engineering.

Aye, that's right, Jock.

Apple Cider for the 2:30

and a bob to win white Magic for the same ledger.

[barely audible phone conversation] Oh, and, Jock, I think I'll have a wee saver

[barely audible phone conversation] in the big race, a Seremond.

[barely audible phone conversation] S-E-R-E-M-O-N-D.

[barely audible phone conversation] - JOCK: Seremond. - HUDSON: Aye, sixpence each way.

[barely audible phone conversation] JOCK: Sixpence each way, Seremond in the big race.

[barely audible phone conversation] HUDSON: Right you are, Jock.

[barely audible phone conversation] Cheerie-bye for now.

[barely audible phone conversation] JOCK: Bye, Angus.

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

RICHARD: Ah, there you are, Hudson.

The telephone was busy.

Oh, I'm sorry, sir.

I was just making some arrangements with a tradesman.

Yes.

Yes, well, that's quite all right.

I want you to get me a telephone number.

Chancery 2214.

Very good, sir.

Hello.

WOMAN: Number, please.

Would you connect me, please, with Chancery 2214?

[Telephone rings]

- Hello? - WOMAN: Chancery...

- Good morning, Richard. - Oh, come on in.

Is that Beringer, Sidlaw, and Maine?

Can I speak to Mr. Maine, please?

WOMAN: Can you hold the line, please?

Yes, I will. Hello, my dear.

I am sorry. James wanted some cigarettes.

We thought you might have some.

Eh, yes.

Der er vi.

Tak skal du have.

Havde du en hyggelig aften på din klub?

Åh, udholdeligt.

Mødte en fyr jeg ikke havde set i årevis.

Som en kendsgerning ... Åh, hej.

Er det Mr. Maine?

MAINE: Tale.

Dette er Richard Bellamy her.

Jeg tror, ​​du kiggede efter min afdøde kones investeringer.

MAINE: Åh, ja, Lady Marjorie.

- Ja. - MAINE: Hvor dejligt ...

Tak skal du have. Jeg spekulerer på, om du ville gøre noget for mig.

MAINE: Glad for at hjælp, hvis vi kan.

Jeg vil gerne have dig til at købe fra mine konti

nogle Cartwright Engineering aktier, motor-bil firma.

MAINE: Cartwrights? De er lidt slæk i øjeblikket.

Ja, ja, Hr Maine, jeg ved, de er,

men alle de samme, jeg vil gerne ...

MAINE: Er du sikker på det her?

Åh, ja, ja, jeg er helt sikker på.

 £ 5.000 værd.

Ordinære aktier?

Nå, ja, jeg formoder det.

Hvad skal jeg gøre?

MAINE: Åh, ikke noget videre. Vi sender dig en konto.

Okay. Mange tak.

MAINE: Du har ikke i tvivl om dette?

Nej, nej, jeg har ingen tvivl, Mr. Maine.

Tak skal du have. Farvel.

MAINE: Farvel, Mr. Bellamy.

Åh, måske de vil gøre mig rig, måske vil de ikke.

Det er en frygtelig masse penge til risiko.

Ja. Den er beregnet.

Nå, tak for cigaretterne, Richard.

Tak skal du have.

Ja, Hudson, du gør det lige så godt som Låse.

Tak, sir, selvom jeg måske foreslå en ny?

Åh, bestemt ikke.

Man køber kun en ny hat til et parlamentsvalg

eller for den første dag i en ny session.

Vil du blive kræve din frakke i dag, sir?

Det er køligere i morges, Richard.

No, no, no. Plenty of time for coats and collars.

Thank you, Hudson.

Now, my dear, can you spare me a couple of minutes in the study?

Yes.

Just some bills for you and James.

Now, that's the coal merchants,

and there's bills from Wilson's, the garage.

That's for James' motor cars sent to me by mistake.

I'll see to them.

♫ Three little maids are we ♫

You're very cheerful this morning, Richard.

Oh, it's getting back to the House of Commons

after that interminable summer recess.

Give Mr. Asquith a bite for me, would you?

I'll do that.

And I'm going to my tailor to order a new suit.

HAZEL: Splendid.

Oh, Father. Didn't you say you bought

some of those Cartwright Engineering...

Your motor.

Hmm? Oh.

Didn't you say you bought some of those Cartwright Engineering,

the shares?

Yes. In a moment of aberration.

I should have listened to that stockbroker. why?

Well, there's something about them in the paper this morning.

Oh, well, they went up a ha'penny a month ago.

I suppose they've lost it again.

Well, not exactly. What did you buy them at?

Three and sixpence. It's engraved on my heart.

Today they're 14 shillings.

RICHARD: What? Richard!

That's incredible.

HAZEL: Let me see.

Here. Here, look.

RICHARD: Well, how much am I worth?

Come on, you're the mathematician.

£5,000.

Your £5,000 is now worth £20,000.

- Oh, my God. - Jolly good, Father.

Well, why have they gone up? There must be a reason for it.

There is.

They've just pulled off a whopping great deal

with the war Office,

to make trucks for the army.

What made you buy them, eh?

Someone put you onto them.

Yes, yes. An old friend, yes.

Congratulations.

Oh, darling, you should be off.

So must I.

Well, that's incredible.

£15,000 profit in a matter of weeks,

merely by picking up the telephone.

Well, don't go and spend it, Father.

Remember, it's only on paper.

Unless, of course, you sell the shares again.

No, I won't do that. Come on.

I'm due at the tailors at...

Goodbye, Richard.

RICHARD: Goodbye, Hazel.

Be good.

Bye, James.

Goodbye, darling.

Hudson.

Goodbye, sir.

♫ Buckles on his knee ♫

Thank you, Ruby.

♫ Come back and marry me, Bonny Bobby Shafto ♫

♫ Bobby Shafto's gone to sea ♫

MRS. BRIDGES: The master gone, then?

Both of them, Mrs. Bridges, the old and the new.

And both in a fairly cheerful mood for a change.

Oh, well, that's just as well

with the tradesmen's books higher than ever.

I know what it'll be.

"We must out back, Mrs. Bridges, must economize."

Oh, I don't think we're as hard up as all that, Mrs. Bridges.

Gentry's always hard up when it comes to paying bills.

Especially them as wasn't born to it.

Mentioning no names, but you see where my thoughts lie.

Even the master's not exactly hard up.

Ikke i dag, fru Bridges.

FRU. Bridges: Åh, hvad han har været op til, så?

Pawning kronjuvelerne?

[Griner]

Hvad er du så fuld af fløde til?

Han har haft en god nyhed, fru Bridges.

Selvom naturligvis jeg kan ikke sige hvad.

Ja, du kan, og, ja, vil du.

Pigen.

Hun kan ikke høre.

Selv hvis hun kunne, ville hun ikke være i stand til at forstå.

Hvilke nyheder?

Det er nogle aktier han har.

De har gået helt op i børsen.

Ooh, jeg ved ikke med aktier.

Penny bank, ja. Hvad aktier?

Det synes han har gjort en klog investering

der kunne gøre ham økonomisk uafhængig omsider.

Og om tid, også, fru Bridges.

Ooh.

- Morning. - God morgen.

Ah, Bellamy!

- Pritchett. - God morgen.

Bare fyr. God sommer?

Tålelig. Tak skal du have.

Har du fået din ekstra ark?

Nej. Noget interessant?

Kender du Arthur NAWS?

RICHARD: Nej, jeg tror det ikke.

PRITCHETT: En lobby korrespondent med The Evening Gazette .

Ikke helt min politik og endnu mindre jeres,

men stadig, Arthur NAWS, Richard Bellamy.

Hvordan gør man, mr NAWS?

Det er en ære at gøre din bekendtskab, sir.

NAWS spurgte mig om dette Cartwright forretning.

Åh, du har hørt.

Ja, de har fået en kontrakt til re-udstyre hæren

med motoriske lastbiler.

Hvorfor spørger Pritchett?

Han er ikke krig Office, bare en backbencher, ligesom mig selv.

Offentlige benchers, selvfølgelig.

Ah, du har brug for Mayfield eller Deeping.

Jeg vil se, om de er rundt.

Åh, ikke gå til nogen problemer.

Mr. Pritchett har været mest nyttige.

Jeg troede måske skulle han have et ord med dig.

Jeg tror, ​​du ved noget om det.

I?

Ah, Bertie.

Tilgiv mig, mine herrer.

Det er disse motoriske lastbiler, som jeg er nysgerrig.

Åh ja.

Den ene hæren favoriserer så meget

that they're spending a fortune on it.

Cartwright Engineering have been working on the machine

for years,

with encouragement, I believe.

I don't think I can help you.

It's an interesting question

that Mr. Pritohet's put down for tomorrow, don't you agree?

I get the impression you're trying to say something.

Oh, no, no, not me.

It's your friend, Mr. Pritchet's question.

He's not my friend. And what's his question anyway?

"Mr. Henry Pritchett, the member for Stutworth North,

to ask the prime minister

if he would set up an inquiry to investigate

the circumstances in which allegations have been made

that certain honourable members

have made use of information improperly acquired

when dealing in the shares of Cartwright Engineering Ltd."

Somewhat sensational.

Don't you agree, Mr. Bellamy?

No tea laid, Mrs. Bridges?

I haven't had time. That Ruby's out.

There's a pot on the range if you're dying of thirst.

Where have you been, girl?

To shop in Elizabeth Street.

I fetched Mr. Hudson's evening papers.

Shop!

I think you've been to the printers and printed it.

Oh, thank you, Ruby.

Thank you.

You been talking to soldiers?

Oh, no, Mrs. Brides, I wouldn't dare.

I shouldn't think they'd want to neither.

Well, go on, get the tea laid up.

She's listless, that Ruby.

Dose of brimstone and treacle for her tonight.

HUDSON: A first-class team for Saturday, my own choice exactly.

Oh?

What's that, then, Mr. Hudson?

Chelsea.

For the game against woolwich Arsenal.

God bless my soul.

That's Mr. Bellamy's picture. Look.

"Among the names figuring in the share register

of Cartwright Engineering

is that of Mr. Richard Bellamy, MP.

It will be remembered

that Mr. Bellamy's wife, the Lady Marjorie,

was among the victims of the tragic..."

Why can't they let it alone?

She's dead, and that's that.

Question in the House tomorrow about the masses of shares, eh?

I don't like the sound of this, Mrs. Bridges.

[Knock on door]

RICHARD: Hazel?

Back to my old job as your secretary.

I didn't expect you so early.

How was the House?

Oh, it was fun to be back in harness.

- Oh, do you want some tea? - No, thank you.

I must telephone this stockbroker

before he leaves his office.

- Your valuable shares? - Yes.

Well, I might as well get rid of them while they're high.

Will I be a bull or a bear? I never know.

A bull, I think.

Suppose they go even higher.

I rather hope they don't.

Spoken like a Socialist.

- Why? - Oh, Richard.

Oh.

Some idiot's put down a damn fool question about them.

Oh?

Had me worried for a moment, but it's nonsense.

Still, might as well get rid of them and be done with it.

Excuse me, sir.

I thought perhaps you ought to see the evening newspaper.

Evening newspaper? It's a bit early, isn't it?

It's my own copy, sir.

RICHARD: Oh, well, that's very kind of you, Hudson.

Thank you, Hudson.

RICHARD: Oh, Hudson, will you get me a telephone number?

Chancery 2214.

Very good, sir.

Extraordinary man.

He must think I'm very out of date with the news.

- Oh, Richard. RICHARD: What?

God Almighty.

[Telephone rings]

HUDSON: Your number, sir.

Cancel it please, Hudson.

HUDSON: Very good, sir.

Our friend Pritchett seems to be out for my blood.

In God's name, why?

[Doorbell ringing, pounding on door]

HUDSON: Sir Geoffrey.

Where is your master?

I'll see if he's at home, sir.

Which means that he is.

He's in the study, sir.

RICHARD: Ah, Geoffrey.

Sir Geoffrey Dillon, sir.

What is this, Richard?

- Åh, du har set det. - Jeg har.

Forsøger du at trække Southwold navn i mudderet?

Jeg forestillede mig, du ville komme her gennem bekymring for mig

og ikke for Talbot-Careys.

Undskyld mig, Richard. Sir Geoffrey.

Har du tænkt på den Dowager grevinde?

Hun er bundet til at høre om det.

Nogle ven vil telefon, kan du være sikker på.

Hvordan kunne du gøre det, Richard?

Jeg ville have troet, en advokat frem for alt

ville påtage sig sin klients uskyld

indtil det modsatte er bevist.

Jeg købte kun helvedes papir

at læse om det skandaløse skilsmisse kulør

Evie Smiths ledende.

For os som en kendsgerning. Godt?

Jeg vil sagsøge klud for injurier, og du vil gøre en masse penge.

Du kan ikke sagsøge dem. Det er ikke injurierende.

"Har parlamentsmedlemmer været handel med Cartwright aktier?"

Det er et spørgsmål.

"Richard Bellamy MP. Viser sig at have købt aktier

fra selskabet for nylig."

Det er en almindelig kendsgerning.

Jeg formoder, det er en konstatering af fakta.

Nå, selvfølgelig, det er.

- Hvor mange? -Â £ 5.000 værd.

Hvad, Â £ 5.000?

De penge, du fik fra James til huset?

Jeg har ingen anden.

- Så er du et fjols. RICHARD: Et fjols?

Selvom de er nu værd  £ 20.000?

Jeg kan håndtere simple aritmetiske.

Hvornår har du købt dem?

Åh, midten af ​​sidste måned.

Jeg var ved at bortskaffe dem.

- Har du ikke tør! - Hvorfor ikke?

Det ville se mistænkeligt.

Mistænksom! For Guds skyld!

At sælge ud det øjeblik du i problemer,

så godt som at indrømme din skyld.

Jeg er ikke i problemer, og jeg er ikke skyldig.

Hvad der præcist er dette spørgsmål i morgen?

Hvordan er det formuleret?

Henry Pritchett?

Beder statsministeren?

Jeg ved.

Hvorfor har de ikke sætte den ned for krigen sekretær?

Ville ikke have gjort så stor en splash i aviserne.

Er Asquith i på dette?

Sikkert ikke.

De er begge Liberale.

Jeg ville ikke sætte noget forbi dem.

Mr. Johnson Munby at se dig, sir.

Johnson Munby?

Åh, send ham i, Hudson.

Meget godt, sir.

Jeg troede, du skulle have din chef pisk runde her

før man kan sige ordet "skandale".

Damn det, er spørgsmålet ikke nævne mig ved navn.

Avisen gør, Richard.

Jeg er bange for fedtet er i ilden.

Mr. Johnson Munby, sir.

Bellamy.

Ah, sir Geoffrey.

God eftermiddag.

Jeg forventer, at du kan gætte, hvorfor jeg er her.

Ja, ja, det kan jeg. Sid ned.

Tak skal du have.

Nu Munby, før vi går videre,

Jeg vil gerne gøre det helt klart for dig.

Min kære Bellamy, du har købt aktier i en virksomhed

muligvis at vide, vil jeg give dig "eventuelt"

at den pågældende virksomhed

would benefit from a government contract.

That was a very dangerous thing to do.

Did you know, Richard?

I did not.

MUNBY: Then why did you buy the stock?

Because someone advised me to.

Someone outside the House?

Was it, Richard? It might make a difference.

The man who advised me to is nothing to do with politics.

Your broker?

Certainly not.

I cannot reveal his name

because I promised not to on my word of honour.

The honour of the Conservative party is at stake, Bellamy,

and of the House of Commons.

The honour of the House! Have they gone mad?

If that's your attitude...

RICHARD: That is my attitude and my firm belief.

Let Pritchett ask this question and be damned.

You're skating on very thin ice, Richard.

Don't you realize that?

Good morning.

I would like you to arrange a meeting for both of us

with the leader, if you would.

I wouldn't advise it.

The morning's newspapers make unpleasant reading.

Yes, they say much to offend

while offering nothing in the way of fact.

Any further developments?

Yes, one.

Through his chief whip,

the prime minister has done us the courtesy

of showing us his reply to Pritchet's question.

Which is?

He knows nothing of dealings by honourable members

in the shares of Cartwright Engineering Ltd

or whether any misuse of privileged information

may be involved,

but he wishes to inform

the honourable member for Stutworth North

that he proposes to appoint a select committee

to look into the matter.

Select committee?

He set one up in '93 in similar circumstances,

when he was home secretary.

The Featherstone Affair.

It worked very well.

It will be my duty

to instruct you to appear before the committee

to answer their questions.

Why not a full-scale trial at the Old Bailey?

A three-man select committee will be simpler and quicker.

And it can take evidence under oath.

Under oath?

I'm not a liar, you know.

Nobody said you were.

Now, I advise you to go home, Bellamy.

I wouldn't show your face in the chamber, not today.

Unless you relish the prospect of a pack of wolves

baying for your blood.

But she said she was going out to luncheon.

But she said she was going out to luncheon.

And now she's not, Mrs. Bridges.

That's right. She was gonna visit her ma.

I heard her say so.

Edward, what on earth are you doing with those flowers?

Well, she likes the way I do them. She said so.

Make a nice little wife for somebody, you would.

More than you would.

Oh, chop and change, chop and change.

The pavement outside is thick with people.

Gawkers.

Yes, gawkers and newspapermen, Mrs. Bridges.

Mrs. Bellamy's quite right not to run their gauntlet.

Well, it'll just have to be the raised pie I made.

There's no choice.

Unless she wants a share of our stew.

[Crowd murmuring]

They're only there because his name's in the paper.

You know, she should have let me call the police.

Well, I should have thought they would have come before.

Him a Member of Parliament and that rabble outside.

They won't throw a bomb, will they?

Get on with your work, Ruby.

Oh! Good God, will they, Mr. Hudson?

I think it extremely unlikely, Mrs. Bridges.

Only villains get into papers.

The master is hardly a villain, Mrs. Bridges.

The king gets in papers.

That's as maybe.

You get on with your work, my girl.

That potato's got eyes in it.

I can see them from here, staring at me.

Just like that crowd outside staring in here.

We're notorious. That's what we are.

Now, keep calm, Mrs. Bridges.

How can anybody keep calm?

Oh! Oh!

Oh, drat.

It's like one of them there sieges.

With the enemy all round.

We'll starve to death.

Oh, be quiet, girl. I won't tell you again.

Don't you pick on my Ruby!

[ Door opens ]

Oh, it's all right, Hudson. I came in through the mews.

Yes. Yes, of course, sir, but...

RICHARD: Rather a crowd by the front door.

Yes, gentlemen of the press, sir.

So I gather.

Things must be bad for him to come in

by his own back door.

So, it's tomorrow.

What is?

Din grille ved det snævre udvalg.

Ja.

Tja, jeg formoder jeg skal ønske dig held og lykke.

Men jeg forstår dig ikke.

Har du ikke?

Nej, det gør jeg ikke.

Sir Geoffrey Dillon, sir.

God aften, sir Geoffrey.

James. - Vil du have mig til at gå?

Nej, vi har ingen hemmeligheder fra hinanden.

Har en whisky og soda.

GEOFFREY: Ah, tak, jeg har ikke tid.

Well, do sit down.

I have a city dinner tonight,

the worshipful company of Master Cutlers.

Oh, yes, they are the fellows that make the sharp knives

for politicians to stab each other in the back.

If you're thinking of our friend Pritchett,

I'm not altogether satisfied.

- How do you mean? - His motive, Richard.

Damn it, the indiscretion of one Tory member

can't bring down a Liberal government

and you can't bring down an opposition,

so what's his game?

JAMES: Pure mischief-making by the sound of it.

I wonder Where his interests lie.

Must keep an eye on friend Pritchett.

You've seen this, I take it.

The names of my judges, yes.

Not your judges, Richard. Your examiners.

- This isn't a trial, you know. -Isn't it?

With the attorney general leading the team?

- Who is Reuben Chantry? - Liberal.

And this man, Devenish, the Tory?

Oh, he's a big brewer from the north.

Bone idle, harmless and stupid.

One of each and a criminal lawyer in the middle.

Now, look here, Richard, for the last time,

because there is no more time,

who was this man you claim advised you to buy those shares?

Are you going to disclose his name?

For the last time, Geoffrey, I am not.

Rådgivningen blev givet til mig i den største tillid.

Og det er stadig et faktum, at det aldrig faldet dig

at spørge denne mand kilden til hans oplysninger?

Det er korrekt.

Og det er, hvad du vil fortælle udvalget i morgen?

Ja.

JAMES: Åh, far, hvorfor har du til at være så stivnakket?

Fordi jeg tilfældigvis at tro, Jakob

at en gentleman bør holde sit ord.

Og jeg stoler på dig enig i.

Den virkelige grund til, at jeg kaldte i aften

er at fortælle dig, at jeg har taget mig den frihed

af at se højttaleren på dine vegne.

Hvad godt er der vil gøre mig?

Er det ikke snarere min virksomhed end din?

Ikke helt.

Det går at sige i morgen, og stillede spørgsmål

som kan reflektere over din ære og integritet.

Jeg føler det som min pligt, som juridisk rådgiver for familien,

to hold a watching brief over the proceedings.

To this end, I have obtained the speaker's permission,

and that of the attorney general, to be present myself.

Fortunately, Sir William Trevanion and I

read law together at New College, Oxford.

Is that in my favour?

Quite the contrary. We detest each other.

Then why come?

I am concerned, Richard,

for the reputation of the Southwold name.

Så vidt din er bekymret,

hvis du ønsker at tilbageholde den ene bevis

der kunne gemme din hud,

med alle midler, så gør det.

Ødelægge din politiske karriere, hvis det er det du ønsker,

og vanære din familie indirekte.

[Døren lukker]

Beviserne jeg give dette udvalg vil være

sandheden, hele sandheden, og intet andet end sandheden,

så hjælpe mig Gud.

Du forstår, Mr. Bellamy,

at den ed, du lige har taget binder dig

i hele denne undersøgelse.

Nå, selvfølgelig forstår jeg.

Jeg vil råde dig til ikke at være pettish til retten, sir.

Retten, Sir William? Udvalg, helt sikkert.

Tak, sir Geoffrey.

Tak skal du have.

Nu, i tillader den anklagede ...

Anklaget, Sir William?

Jeg gør forladelse, sir Geoffrey.

Jeg husker, du er altid en hairsplitter.

Hvad ville du have?

Nu, herrer, tak, det var min forståelse

at vi er her for at forespørge og lave en rapport for Huset.

Til det har vi brug for fakta,

og jeg er ikke sikker på, at for meget procedure spørgsmål.

Procedure altid betyder noget, Mr. Chantry.

Uden det, har vi anarki.

Og ingen retfærdighed bæres af anarki.

Lad os komme videre med det, hva '?

Nå, helt sikkert, det er vores hensigt.

Nu, du har læst den erklæring fra Robert Maine

af Beringer, Sidlaw, og Maine

vedrører købet af aktierne.

Er der nogen spørgsmål, der opstår fra det?

Når du så den kraftige stigning af aktierne,

grundet pressen i kontrakten,

du troede ikke, det klogt at sælge aktierne?

Under disse omstændigheder så jeg ingen grund til.

Er du for vane

of speculating on the stock exchange, Mr. Bellamy?

Up until I bought the Cartwright shares,

I had never bought or sold a share in my life.

When these shares you purchased went up in price,

perhaps you'll allow me to use the word "sensationally,"

because it was announced

that the company had signed a contract to supply the army

with a new motor vehicle known as the Bulldog,

were you surprised?

I was.

The negotiations leading up to this contract were,

I understand,

conducted over a number of years in the strictest secrecy.

One of the reasons, I believe, was commercial rivalry.

Another company, known as Ranking Mechanicals,

having also submitted designs to the war Office.

Now, Mr. Bellamy, if, despite that secrecy,

you had learned of this new vehicle

and the high hopes pinned upon its successful developments,

then surely you must have known that you'd be guilty

-by investing in the company. -[ Clears throat]

Mr. Chantry, Mr. Chantry, you exercise Sir Geoffrey.

Mr. Bellamy is not on trial.

Nevertheless, it is possible

that criminal proceedings could ensue from this committee's work

and in certain circumstances,

the report might have to be sent

to the director of public prosecutions.

I have no objection to anything Mr. Chantry has said.

If I had known of this contract before I bought the shares,

I would indeed be guilty of using privileged information

for personal gain.

There's no question of that.

Thank you, Mr. Bellamy.

So we may take it you did not know.

I did not.

I am a backbencher in opposition,

not party to war Office secrets.

Mr. Chantry, would it not be order if I was to...

Yes, indeed. Now, I think, is the time.

Yes.

Mr. Bellamy, we have,

through the courtesy of the central registrar,

access to certain documents

which are not normally available.

We've had no sight of any such documents, Sir William.

No, Sir Geoffrey, but you will hear of them.

Nu har jeg i min hånd her et minut af sagen

af den kejserlige forsvarsudvalg

til fredag ​​27 juni, 1905.

Et velbesøgt møde i det vigtige organ.

Og blandt navnene på medlemmerne til stede

er noteret, at en Mr. Richard Bellamy MP,

der var på det tidspunkt

Vicestatssekretær ved admiralitetet

i Balfours regering.

Jeg indrømmer, jeg var på Imperial Defence Committee på det tidspunkt.

Det var indtil regeringsskiftet i 1905, da ...

Tak skal du have.

Tak skal du have.

Nu, den dag den 27. juni, 1905

var der to sager på dagsordenen -

rapporter om manøvrer i den tyske grand flåde ...

Et spørgsmål om stor bekymring for mig, selvfølgelig.

Og...

Og en rapport om udviklingen

af en lovende ny lastbil for hæren

i de første stadier af design

af Cartwright Engineering Company Ltd,

at være kendt som Bulldog.

Nu, fra disse minutter, er det helt klart

at den videre udvikling af dette køretøj

blev opmuntret af blandt andre Richard Bellamy.

Vil du sørge for at kommentere det?

Det var otte år siden.

Hvordan kan jeg muligvis huske detaljerne i den elendige lastbil

eller navnet på de producenter efter al den tid?

Kan du bevise du ikke kunne?

James, kan jeg ikke.

Sikkert, Richard, alt hvad du skal gøre

er at fortælle dem navnet på den mand i klubben.

Jeg vil ikke svigte en tillid, Hazel.

Ikke for en hel hær af advokater og politikere.

Hvis de vælger at sætte en plat

og fornærme fortolkning af, hvad jeg gjorde i perfekt uskyld,

derefter blive fordømt til dem.

Ja.

Og lade pressen og offentligheden,

at nævne noget af dine venner og familie,

at gå på tro

that you behaved in a dishonourable manner.

RICHARD: I did nothing of the sort.

Then prove it for them.

It's not up to me to prove anything.

The burden of proof is on them.

Father, you are guilty by implication.

James, I am not guilty.

Will you please stop making these accusations?

You're as bad as they are.

HAZEL: James, please.

Richard has been through a lot today.

- And more to come tomorrow. - Yes.

And whose fault is that?

Will they put him in prison, do you think?

I don't think.

I daren't think.

Where is that girl?

Ruby?

She's in the scullery.

Fetch her, Edward.

What do you want her for?

Oh, she's going up in the world.

She has correspondence.

Ruby?

Mrs. Bridges, please!

A letter is private, even to a kitchen maid.

I have the right.

If it's from some man, I'll give her one she won't forget.

You wanted me, Mr. Hudson?

You've had a letter, Ruby.

Oh, no, not me?

Yes. Here is the envelope.

Miss Ruby Finch, c/o 165 Eaton Place.

The idea.

Ruby Finch.

That's me name.

A man, Mrs. Bridges?

Oh, no, I never. I swear it's a lie.

Worse.

It's from Bradford, from your mother.

There you go.

You read it for me, Mrs. Bridges, would you?

Well, it would take me all day, and I've got pots to scour.

Is she all right?

It's not her leg, is it?

It's not me sister Ethel?

"Dear Ruby, you're to come home at once.

Your dad and me don't want you serving in no house

what gets in the papers.

Second, we do not want you working for someone

who like as not will soon be in prison,

your dad's sure of it."

"Third, I've got you a place as kitchen maid

with Dr. Reardon round the corner.

It's live-in and all found, so you won't be under my feet.

Enclosed, money for train.

PS. Spot died, run over by the brewer's dray.

Your dad and Ethel send their love.

Mother."

[ crying ]

GEOFFREY: Can you tell the committee

how you first came by the knowledge

that Richard Bellamy's name

was on the register of shareholders at Cartwrights?

I went to the company's office

and looked up the share register.

Did you find the names of any other Members of Parliament

on the register?

Anyone at all whose holding of shares

might have discomforted you?

I did not.

So there was no great Tory plot.

I doubt Whether even you would consider

Mr. Richard Bellamy's holding shares on his own

a Tory plot.

So, one begins to wonder why you made the expedition

to the company's offices in the first place.

I am interested in the good name of this House

and rectitude in public life.

Address the committee, if you please.

I am vigilant against corruption on behalf of my constituents.

Ah, yes, your constituents in Stutworth North, I believe.

Yeah. That is my constituency.

Now, up till 1904, Mr. Pritchett,

you were, I believe,

a shareholder in a company called Ranking Mechanicals.

I did have a few shares.

Well, what of it?

Were not Ranking Mechanicals the only possible competition

for that war Office contract?

Ranking Mechanicals, whose factory is in Stutworth North,

your constituency.

Look, I don't know what you're implying...

GEOFFREY: The committee, if you please.

Jeg fortalte hende, frue, hun kan ikke gå.

Jeg fortalte hende, frue, hun kan ikke gå.

Jeg mener, jeg kan ikke finde en anden kokkepige

på to minutters varsel.

Og alligevel, det er ligefrem illoyale.

Okay, fru Bridges.

Ruby, kan vi ikke gå imod din mors ønsker.

Jeg ønsker ikke at gå.

Jeg kan lide det her, frue.

Åh, der, der, Ruby.

HAZEL: Måske du kunne tage hendes nedenunder, fru Bridges.

Ja, ja. Ja frøken.

Jeg vil skrive til din mor, Ruby,

og se om jeg kan overtale hende til at skifte mening.

Det er alt, jeg kan gøre.

Tak, frue.

Kom nu, Ruby. Pudse næse.

Kom med mig. Jeg er ked af, frue.

Tak, fru Bridges.

Det virker som om Rubys familie er blevet forgiftet

ved, hvad de læser i aviserne.

Ja frøken.

Som arbejderkvarterer mennesker,

de kan næppe forventes ikke at vide bedre.

Det ville være en skam, hvis hun forlod.

Nå, vi bare nødt til at se.

Tak, Hudson.

Hudson?

Fru.

HAZEL: Jeg vil gerne spørge dig en venlighed.

Noget jeg kan gøre, frue.

Gem venligst denne til dig selv, Hudson.

Natten før Mr. Bellamy ringede hans børsmægler

om disse elendige aktier ...

Jeg husker, frue.

Gør du?

Kan du huske den dato?

Fordi, ser du, Mr. Bellamy spiste på hans klub, nat,

og nogen mødte han der, et af medlemmerne,

rådede ham til at købe disse aktier.

Ja frøken.

Nå, jeg vil ikke gå ind i alle detaljerne, Hudson.

Af forskellige årsager,

Mr. Bellamy kan selv ikke afsløre mandens navn

to the committee of the inquiry,

and I'm --

That is, I and Captain James --

We must find out, you see,

so that Mr. Bellamy will be cleared of all this suspicion.

You will be hoping to persuade the gentleman to come forward?

Exactly.

I cannot myself go into a man's club and ask the hall porter

the name of any of the members

who might have spoken to Mr. Bellamy

om natten den, ja, hvad det var.

Det var natten til september 9th, frue.

HAZEL: Virkelig?

Jeg har grund til at huske

fordi den følgende dag var den 10.,

St. Leger Day at Doncaster.

HAZEL: Er du sikker?

Positiv.

Hvis jeg kan tage eftermiddagen slukket, frue.

Bestemt, Hudson.

Jeg sætter den til det ærede medlem i Stutworth North

at Rankings fandt ud

at Richard Bellamy var aktionær i Cartwrights,

deres succesfulde rivaler,

at Rankings presset ham -

Hvordan, ved jeg ikke,

og himlen bebuder, at jeg skulle finde ud af -

at starte denne bagvaskelse ikke at ødelægge Richard Bellamy,

en simpel offer står i vejen,

men at negere Cartwrights kontrakt

ved at male et billede af korruption

så at krigen Office og statskassen

ville være tvunget til at annullere kontrakten.

Jeg er enig. Kontrakten bør annulleres.

Det hele skal undersøges igen.

Og gå til placering næste gang.

Nå, det, hvis jeg så må sige, ville være katastrofalt -

at give kontrakten til en anden virksomhed

når Cartwrights allerede har udviklet et køretøj,

en lastbil, der kan tjene som en flok luftfartsselskab,

forsyning køretøj, ambulance, selv lys artilleri.

Det synes du huske detaljerne, Mr. Bellamy.

Og med misundelsesværdig klarhed.

Mr. Challen?

Land medlem. Ikke kommer i meget.

Gid har været aftenen før St. Leger,

September 9th?

Ja, jeg regner det var.

Kan du være sikker?

Ganske sikker.

Ser du, dette sifon sodavand sprøjtede over hele Mr. Challen,

and when I took the siphon back to Jack in the dispense

and told him as Mr. Challen had wet his trousers,

ho, ho, ho, he laughed

and he said it must be a good omen

'cause he was backing a horse called April Showers

at Doncaster the next day.

Could you tell me this Mr. Challen's address?

Oh, no, I can't do that.

Against the rules to give members' addresses to strangers.

Beklager, det er mere end mig jobbet værd.

Men du skal have en medlemmernes adressebog.

I den gamle portnerens cubbyhole.

Vent her.

At jeg vidste noget af War Office forhåbninger til Bulldog,

Jeg har intet ønske om at benægte.

Og jeg var ikke bedrager udvalget i at sige noget andet.

Det havde simpelthen gået ud af mit sind.

Jeg indrømmer, at i juli i år,

Jeg var besidderen af ​​kapitalen sum af en £ 5.000

without, to be frank, hopes of any more.

While pondering over this,

I came across an old friend I had not seen for many years

whose name,

because his advice was given to me in the strictest confidence,

I am unable to disclose.

Well, were we to believe in this man's existence,

which we must question,

another question would have to be answered.

How much did this individual know, and how did he know it?

Then I can only be right to protect his name.

Yes, I think you are.

Though at what a cost.

There seems nothing more to be said on either side,

so we will adjourn and consider our report tomorrow.

Sir Geoffrey.

I've found out the name of the man at the club.

- Have you, by George? - HAZEL: Yes.

Are you sure?

HAZEL: I hope so.

Where's Richard?

Oh, he's in bed.

He's very tired.

Well, who was it, then?

A man called Challen.

Jack Challen.

- Where's the "Who's who"? - Over there.

I wanted to talk to you first before I telephoned him.

No, no, no, don't telephone.

If he were going to come forward,

he would have done so by now.

His address is Hillgreen Hall, near Taunton.

Dette bør interessere udvalget.

Nu, du fortalte os forleden, at det aldrig faldet dig

at spørge denne mand sine grunde til at rådgive dig til at købe aktierne.

RICHARD: Det er rigtigt.

Du vidste, og, ja, du gjorde det klart

til chefen pisken og til mig selv

at dette ikke var en mand involveret i politik.

Ja.

Vidste du, at han var involveret i erhvervslivet?

Jeg vidste, at han var en forretningsmand.

Nu, jeg har tænkt mig at foreslå dig

at denne mand er en ledende direktør for Cartwrights

og han er gift

til datter af selskabets bestyrelsesformand,

Mr. William Cartwright,

og at hans grund til krævende din diskretion

var, at han vidste af kontrakten med krigen Office

ved at blive underskrevet af hans firma

og at han kunne være i strid med byens etik

ved at vippe hans selskabets aktier på det tidspunkt til nogen.

Hvad skal jeg sige til det?

Du er under ed

besvare spørgsmål til dig her sandfærdigt.

Og jeg skal stille dig endnu et spørgsmål,

som du skal svare sandfærdigt.

Hvad er dit spørgsmål?

Er navnet på den mand, der rådede dig til at købe disse aktier

John Stuart Challen?

Ja.

Og må Gud og Challen tilgive mig.

[Døren lukker]

Hr.

Nå, Richard?

Der er ikke at være nogen rapport.

I hvert fald ikke en, der vil forårsage nogen skandale.

Jeg er erklæret uskyldig, hvis tåbelige,

og min mangel på omtanke er beklagede.

Beklagede?

Hvor vover de?

Hvor vover de?

De kunne have vovet en hel del værre.

- Hvor vover du? - Hvad?

- Going to my club. - I didn't go to your club.

Sending my servant, involving my servant in my affairs.

Someone had to.

Clubs exist so that women and servants can't meddle.

As a result, I've been forced to break my word.

You make me a man whose word is worthless.

I'd rather prison than that.

Then you are a fool.

Do you think I give a damn about your word-of-honour,

hand-on-your-heart, public-school code?

Such things matter to a man.

They don't matter to a woman.

Any woman.

We fight for things that do matter, like our families.

And you are my family, like it or not.

Women should keep out of men's affairs.

Keep out!

Newspapers, servants leaving,

and those that are here in turmoil.

I don't care!

It was wrong of you and Geoffrey Dillon

to force Challen's name out into the open against his will

and possibly get him to serious trouble with his company.

HAZEL: He should have come forward, but he didn't dare.

The man's a coward.

Oh, Richard.

Please.

Don't be angry just because you needed help.

I'm angry because you behaved so willfully and improperly.

Clearly, your ways are not yet our ways.

I'm sorry about that.

I frequently think that you and James are insane.

Because we have standards?

I have standards, and I obey them.

You won't convince me I've done anything wrong.

Our ways will have to become your ways.

About that there can be no argument.

And I suggest you start working on it this very minute.
