Don't just stand there.
Give me a hand with the canopy.

- Mary? Merriman? Are you ready?
- Mary?

MARY:
Yes, Mr. Burkett.

- I think she's knocking.
- Well, see what she wants.
11
00:03:33,058 --> 00:03:36,017
I can't open
this wretched thing.
12
00:03:37,068 --> 00:03:39,062
I suppose we better stop.
13
00:03:59,024 --> 00:04:01,036
I can't get
this top off.
14
00:04:22,093 --> 00:04:25,029
Hello.
Is everything all right?
15
00:04:25,036 --> 00:04:27,019
Are-Are you okay?
16
00:04:27,026 --> 00:04:30,032
- Am I what?
- We're all right, thank you.
17
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,030
Is that Lady Trentham?
Lady Trentham.
18
00:04:33,037 --> 00:04:37,000
It's, uh--
I'm William McCordle's cousin, Ivor.
19
00:04:37,007 --> 00:04:39,017
Ivor Novello.
20
00:04:39,024 --> 00:04:41,051
Yes, of course.
21
00:04:41,058 --> 00:04:44,001
May I introduce
a friend of mine from California?
22
00:04:44,008 --> 00:04:46,061
- Mr. Morris Weissman.
- Hello.
23

Hi.
24
00:04:49,049 --> 00:04:53,018
Uh, we were just wondering if
we were headed in the same direction.
25
00:04:53,026 --> 00:04:55,019
I dare say we might be.
26
00:04:57,026 --> 00:05:00,082
Well, if-if everything
seems to be all right--
27
00:05:04,050 --> 00:05:06,044
Bye.
28
00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:10,066
Could we get on
before I freeze to death?
29
00:05:12,047 --> 00:05:15,054
- Was that really Ivor Novello?
- Yes. Could we get on?

Oh, hello. Nice house. I like it.

- Welcome back, Your Ladyship.

Hello, dear. If he has to call me
by my Christian name,
34
00:06:18,031 --> 00:06:20,024
why can't he make it
Aunt Constance?
35

- I'm not the upstairs maid.

He's still got that vile
little dog, I see.
37
00:06:24,085 --> 00:06:27,034
Yes, the ones we hate last forever.
Did you have a horrid journey?
38
00:06:27,042 --> 00:06:29,035
Yes, fairly horrid.
39
00:06:31,002 --> 00:06:33,068
Take the car around the back
to unload it.
40
00:06:38,013 --> 00:06:41,019
You better follow him.
Mrs. Wilson will look after you.

Your Ladyship.
42
00:06:47,010 --> 00:06:49,004
- Your Lordship.
- Mm-hmm.

- Louisa.
- William.
44
00:06:56,035 --> 00:06:59,001
- Raymond. Lots of good shooting coming.
- William.

That's what
we're here for.
46
00:07:02,002 --> 00:07:05,011
Just leave everything in one pile
around the corner there.
47
00:07:05,019 --> 00:07:07,062
Make sure it's properly labeled.
It'll go up in the luggage lift.
48
00:07:07,069 --> 00:07:09,092
These are the guns.
Where's the gun room?
49
00:07:09,099 --> 00:07:13,045
Down there on the right.
Find Mr. Strutt, the keeper.
He'll show you what to do.
50
00:07:13,053 --> 00:07:16,062
- I know what to do.
- WOMAN: Ellen, what do you
think you're doing over there?
51
00:07:16,070 --> 00:07:20,007
Take that rain off those cases
before you take them up.

WOMAN
Those are Mr. Novello's bags.
53
00:07:22,094 --> 00:07:25,091
- Who are you?
- I'm Mr. Weissman's man.
54
00:07:25,097 --> 00:07:27,091
- The Countess of Trentham.
- Yes.
55
00:07:27,098 --> 00:07:29,091
Make sure they're properly labeled.
Put them down there.
56
00:07:29,098 --> 00:07:32,057
- Where am I?
- You're in the stable block
with the grooms.
57
00:07:32,065 --> 00:07:36,005
Her Ladyship is in the Chinese room.
Elsie! Elsie!
58
00:07:36,012 --> 00:07:39,002
You'll be sharing
with the head housemaid.
She'll show you where everything is.
59
00:07:39,009 --> 00:07:41,008
Elsie,
this is Miss Trentham.

- Mrs. Wilson-- Excuse me, ma'am--
- Take care of her, will you?

My name's Mary.

00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:49,049
Not here it's not.
It's Trentham.

- Down there on the right.
- The name's Parks. Robert Parks.

Mr. Parks?
66
00:07:58,064 --> 00:08:01,051
Mr. Parks, below stairs
you'll be known as Mr. Stockbridge.
67
00:08:01,058 --> 00:08:04,095
- There's three more outside.
- I knew a Mr. Parks
who was in service in Norwich.
68
00:08:05,001 --> 00:08:06,095
Is he any relation
of yours?
69
00:08:07,002 --> 00:08:08,095
No.
London born and bred.
70
00:08:09,002 --> 00:08:11,015
What should I do
with Her Ladyship's jewels?
71
00:08:11,022 --> 00:08:13,088
It's this way.
George is in charge of the safe.
72
00:08:13,096 --> 00:08:16,072
He's the first footman, and you
wanna watch where he puts his hands.

Have you got the ones for tonight?

00:08:34,041 --> 00:08:36,034
Oh, sorry.
77
00:08:39,045 --> 00:08:43,039
Always bring a separate box
for the first night. It saves bother.

For goodness sakes, Mabel.
What is it this time?
81
00:09:08,001 --> 00:09:11,024
- Does my hair look all right?
- It looks fine.
Where the hell were you?

We're not late.

- Hello.
- Hello, Isobel.
85
00:09:20,036 --> 00:09:23,081
Darling, I'll see you in there.
There's been something
I've been meaning to say to you.

00:09:28,020 --> 00:09:31,093
- Have you, uh--
Have you spoken to your father?
- No.
87
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,049
What do you mean, no?
Hey, you promised.
88
00:09:35,057 --> 00:09:38,017
I never promised.
I said I'd do my best.
89
00:09:38,024 --> 00:09:40,077
- You're so beautiful
when you resist me.
- Stop it.
90
00:09:40,084 --> 00:09:42,090
I'll ask him tonight.
91

- Well, you bloody well better.
- (FOOTSTEPS)

- You shouldn't sneak up
on people like that.
- Don't worry. It's nobody.

Sorry, Miss Isobel.
94
00:09:52,069 --> 00:09:55,078
Do you really think you'll have
a chance to speak to him tonight?
95
00:09:55,086 --> 00:09:58,035
- Would you stop going on about it?
- Izzy, that's all very well--
96
00:09:58,043 --> 00:10:00,069
I think it's ridiculous.
I'm here to shoot.

to someone who isn't deaf in one ear.

Darling, what do you mean,
leave it?
101
00:10:15,018 --> 00:10:17,041
Well, I just meant
let it come naturally.
102
00:10:17,048 --> 00:10:19,078
Don't try and steer
the conversation.
103
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:23,029
- It makes you sound so desperate.
- Well, I am fucking desperate.
104
00:10:25,075 --> 00:10:28,055
Hello, Raymond. This is
my brother-in-law, Lord Stockbridge.

Oh, Elsie? Elsie,
this is Lord Stockbridge's valet.
109
00:10:39,050 --> 00:10:41,090
He's new to the house,
so show him around, will you?
110
00:10:41,097 --> 00:10:44,037
You'll be sharing with
Mr. Weissman's man.
111
00:10:44,044 --> 00:10:47,000
- Has His Lordship's luggage gone up?
- Supposedly.
112
00:10:47,008 --> 00:10:50,005
He's in the Tapestry room,
wherever that is.

done a house party before, not properly.

ELSIE: How come you got
taken on as a countess lady's maid...
116
00:10:58,022 --> 00:11:00,092
- if you’ve got no experience?
- She wants to train me.
117
00:11:00,099 --> 00:11:02,092
She said she didn't care
about experience.
118
00:11:02,099 --> 00:11:05,043
She didn't want
to pay for it, you mean.
119
00:11:07,026 --> 00:11:09,020
It's cold in here.
120
00:11:09,026 --> 00:11:11,076
You should know to pack your woolies
when you come to this house.
121
00:11:11,083 --> 00:11:14,096
Here we are.
122
00:11:15,004 --> 00:11:17,037
- Is everything all right, Elsie?
- Fine, Miss Lewis. Thanks.
123
00:11:17,044 --> 00:11:20,020
That's your bed there.
124
00:11:20,028 --> 00:11:22,097
- That good? Yeah, that's tasty.
- Very tasty.
125
00:11:23,005 --> 00:11:25,098
I think I'll--
I shall go in the library.
126
00:11:36,019 --> 00:11:38,063
Here you are, Pip, Pip.
127
00:11:38,069 --> 00:11:41,016
I beg your pardon, sir. I thought
I’d just take the Times up with me...
128
00:11:41,023 --> 00:11:45,013
- in case you'd like to read it
when you're dressing.
- Thank you, Probert.
129
00:11:45,020 --> 00:11:47,060
- Look after Pip for me. Good boy.
- Of course, sir.
130
00:11:47,067 --> 00:11:50,020
I have to make a telephone call
to California in a couple of hours.
131
00:11:50,027 --> 00:11:52,057
- I can't find a telephone.
- Well, there's a telephone
just here on the left.
132
00:11:52,064 --> 00:11:55,077
Oh, wonderful. Thank you. You know,
of course, I'll reverse the charges.
133
00:11:55,084 --> 00:11:57,078
Yes.
134
00:11:57,085 --> 00:12:00,037
There's a new restaurant in the Strand.
It's an automatic restaurant.
135
00:12:00,045 --> 00:12:04,044
It's open 24 hours a day.
You can go in any time day or night.
136
00:12:04,052 --> 00:12:06,049
So who's the funny
little American?
137
00:12:06,056 --> 00:12:09,008
- Morris Weissman.
He's a friend of Ivor.
- Oh.
138
00:12:09,016 --> 00:12:11,015
He makes films in Hollywood.
139
00:12:11,023 --> 00:12:13,092
Ivor asked if he could bring him along.
Didn't see why not.
140
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,079
I thought he might be interested
in guns and shooting.
141
00:12:16,087 --> 00:12:19,093
Oh, well, never mind.
He adds to the glamor of the gathering.
142
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,013
I didn't expect anything
half as exotic.
143
00:12:22,020 --> 00:12:25,011
Oh, no, not for me.
You know that I hate drinking whisky.
144
00:12:25,017 --> 00:12:27,011
Go on, drink it.
Do you good.
145
00:12:27,018 --> 00:12:29,024
- Go on.
- (SIGHS)
146
00:12:29,031 --> 00:12:31,025
Oh, really, Bill.
147
00:12:31,031 --> 00:12:33,094
You are such
a bad influence.
148
00:12:34,002 --> 00:12:37,047
Well, don't blame me
if I start misbehaving.
149
00:12:37,055 --> 00:12:41,022
MCCORDLE: I don't know how impressed
your husband is with our Hollywood folk.
150
00:12:41,029 --> 00:12:43,045
Well,
you know Raymond.
151
00:12:43,053 --> 00:12:45,086
He only feels safe
with his own kind.
152
00:12:45,093 --> 00:12:47,099
Bill!
(CHUCKLES)
153
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:54,014
I thought ladies' maids
never wore aprons.
154
00:12:54,020 --> 00:12:57,020
Her Ladyship used to have a French maid
who wore a black one like this.
155
00:12:57,027 --> 00:12:59,026
She thinks it's got
a bit of style.
156
00:12:59,034 --> 00:13:02,040
I bet she does, and I bet
she took it out of your wages too.
157
00:13:02,048 --> 00:13:05,031
She likes to have
everything just so.
158
00:13:05,038 --> 00:13:07,032
Mmm.
Don't they all.
159
00:13:08,085 --> 00:13:11,025
- That's him.
- Who?
160
00:13:11,032 --> 00:13:13,025
Ivor Novello.
161
00:13:13,032 --> 00:13:16,066
He passed us on the road today
on his way here, and he spoke to me.
162
00:13:16,073 --> 00:13:20,018
Well, he spoke to Her Ladyship,
but I answered.
163
00:13:20,026 --> 00:13:23,020
I only cut it out for Garbo.
I prefer the American stars.
164
00:13:23,027 --> 00:13:25,043
I think they've got
more oomph.
165
00:13:25,050 --> 00:13:27,087
Go on!
166
00:13:27,094 --> 00:13:30,077
- Is he really Sir William's cousin?
- Yep.
167
00:13:30,084 --> 00:13:33,010
Imagine having a film star
in the family.
168
00:13:33,018 --> 00:13:36,077
- Lady Sylvia must be thrilled.
- Oh, I don't think.
169
00:13:36,085 --> 00:13:38,078
Why wouldn't she be?
170
00:13:38,085 --> 00:13:40,082
Cause she's a snobbish cow.
'Cause she--
171
00:13:40,088 --> 00:13:44,025
She looks down on anyone who got
to the top with brains and hard work.
172
00:13:44,032 --> 00:13:47,005
Just like she looks down on her husband,
except when it's time to foot the bills.
173
00:13:47,012 --> 00:13:49,015
And then she's got
her hand out, all right.
174
00:13:49,022 --> 00:13:52,029
- What was her family, then?
- What'd you expect, really?
175
00:13:52,036 --> 00:13:54,069
Toffee-nosed and useless.
176
00:13:54,076 --> 00:13:56,070
Her father was
the Earl of Carton.
177
00:13:56,077 --> 00:13:58,093
Sounds good, except
he didn't have a pot to piss in.
178
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,030
What's she like
to work for?
179
00:14:01,037 --> 00:14:04,090
She's horrible.
But he's--
180
00:14:04,097 --> 00:14:07,017
He's okay. Come on.
We better get cracking.
181
00:14:10,035 --> 00:14:13,014
- Hello, I'm Ivor.
- I know who you are.
182
00:14:13,022 --> 00:14:15,098
- Mabel Nesbitt.
- Hello, Mabel.
183
00:14:16,005 --> 00:14:19,008
- MABEL: How are you?
- Very well, thank you.
184
00:14:21,072 --> 00:14:24,042
Oh! I don't smoke.
Thank you.
185
00:14:24,049 --> 00:14:26,076
ELSIE: Mrs. Nesbitt's
only got one dress with her.
186
00:14:26,083 --> 00:14:29,020
Says her husband rushed her
when she was packing.
187
00:14:29,026 --> 00:14:31,076
Do you always look after visitors
if they haven't got a maid?
188
00:14:31,083 --> 00:14:33,077
Sometimes Dorothy helps,
though why Mrs. Wilson...
189
00:14:33,084 --> 00:14:36,024
makes the still room maid
do it beats me.
190
00:14:36,030 --> 00:14:38,033
I think she only does it
to annoy Mrs. Croft.
191
00:14:38,041 --> 00:14:41,093
- Which one does Dorothy answer to?
- Both. That's the problem.
192
00:14:42,001 --> 00:14:44,017
She's rushed off her feet as it is.
Are you nearly done there?
193
00:14:44,025 --> 00:14:47,008
- Yes.
- Here she is-- Miss Bossy.
194
00:14:47,015 --> 00:14:49,012
Tell me, what was Greta Garbo
really like?
195
00:14:49,018 --> 00:14:52,078
- Did you get to know her?
- NOVELLO: Yes, I did, actually.
196
00:14:52,085 --> 00:14:55,059
She's coming to stay
with me next month.
197
00:14:55,066 --> 00:14:58,039
(GASPS)
198
00:14:58,046 --> 00:15:02,036
Tell me, how much longer are you
going to go on... making films?
199
00:15:02,043 --> 00:15:06,033
I suppose that rather depends
on how much longer the public
want to see me in them.
200
00:15:07,057 --> 00:15:09,050
Yes, it must be hard
to know...
201
00:15:09,057 --> 00:15:12,017
when it's time
to throw in the towel.
202
00:15:12,024 --> 00:15:15,080
What a pity about
that last one of yours.
203
00:15:15,088 --> 00:15:18,031
What-What was it called?
204
00:15:18,038 --> 00:15:21,054
- The Dodger.
- The Lodger.
205
00:15:21,062 --> 00:15:23,098
The Lodger.
206
00:15:25,035 --> 00:15:27,062
And it must be
so disappointing...
207
00:15:27,069 --> 00:15:30,052
when something just, you know,
flops like that.
208
00:15:30,059 --> 00:15:33,019
Yes, it is...
209
00:15:33,026 --> 00:15:35,070
rather disappointing.
210
00:15:35,076 --> 00:15:38,060
Look at this.
Machine-made lace.
211
00:15:38,067 --> 00:15:41,010
- Hark at her.
- Well, I hate cheap clothes.
212
00:15:41,017 --> 00:15:44,011
They're twice the work,
and they never look as good.
213
00:15:44,017 --> 00:15:48,013
I'll murder that dog one day.
Look at that. All over his waistcoat.
214
00:15:48,021 --> 00:15:51,004
What do you expect from a woman
without her own maid?
215
00:15:51,011 --> 00:15:55,035
Lady Lavinia says a woman who travels
with no maid has lost her self-respect.
216
00:15:55,042 --> 00:15:59,025
- She calls it "giving in."
- I don't have a maid.
I haven't given in.
217
00:15:59,032 --> 00:16:01,059
- SARAH: That's different.
- ELSIE: Why?
218
00:16:01,066 --> 00:16:05,032
- What's your name?
- I think here I'm called Trentham.
219
00:16:05,039 --> 00:16:08,016
No, I meant your real name.
220
00:16:08,023 --> 00:16:12,006
Oh. Mary.
Mary Maceachran.
221
00:16:12,013 --> 00:16:15,026
Blimey. What does
Her Ladyship call you?
222
00:16:15,034 --> 00:16:18,074
Well, she should call me Maceachran,
now I'm a lady's maid.
223
00:16:18,081 --> 00:16:20,074
That's what my mother says.
224
00:16:20,081 --> 00:16:23,090
But Her Ladyship can't pronounce it,
so she calls me Mary.
225
00:16:23,098 --> 00:16:25,091
I don't blame her.
226
00:16:27,075 --> 00:16:30,018
Sylvia.
227
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:34,075
I'm serious.
There mustn't be any more nonsense.
228
00:16:34,082 --> 00:16:36,079
I don't know what
you're talking about.
229
00:16:36,086 --> 00:16:39,029
(CLOCK CHIMING)
230
00:16:40,070 --> 00:16:42,063
Done much shooting
this year?
231
00:16:42,070 --> 00:16:45,026
STOCKBRIDGE:
Quite a lot.
232
00:16:45,033 --> 00:16:48,039
- Hello.
- Does Louisa always go out with you?
233
00:16:48,047 --> 00:16:50,091
- Usually.
- It's very good of her.
234
00:16:50,097 --> 00:16:53,020
- Do you have a minute?
- Don't do that! That's bad for him!
235
00:16:53,027 --> 00:16:55,061
Put him down.
236
00:16:55,068 --> 00:16:58,098
- (PIP WHIMPERS)
- Yeah. Bores me stiff.
237
00:16:59,005 --> 00:17:00,098
- All right, Pip.
- I just wondered--
238
00:17:01,005 --> 00:17:02,098
SYLVIA:
William's such a rotten shot.
239
00:17:03,005 --> 00:17:05,054
I usually try and duck out of it,
particularly in Scotland.
240
00:17:05,062 --> 00:17:07,059
I'm rather fond
of Scotland.
241
00:17:09,006 --> 00:17:11,039
All right,
get on with your work. Yes?
242
00:17:11,046 --> 00:17:14,059
- Ah, Mr. Weissman. There you are.
- I'm dealing with this.
243
00:17:14,066 --> 00:17:18,090
- What is it, Mr. Weissman?
- Well, to start with,
my name is Denton.
244
00:17:18,097 --> 00:17:21,087
- Henry Denton.
- You're here as valet to Mr. Weissman.
245
00:17:21,094 --> 00:17:26,003
That means you'll be known
as Mr. Weissman below stairs
for the duration of your stay.
246
00:17:26,011 --> 00:17:29,084
We stick to the old customs here.
It saves confusion.
247
00:17:29,091 --> 00:17:32,001
- It's about Mr. Weissman's diet.
- Yes?
248
00:17:33,035 --> 00:17:35,068
He's a vegetarian.
249
00:17:35,075 --> 00:17:38,024
- A what?
- A vegetarian.
250
00:17:38,032 --> 00:17:42,045
He doesn't eat meat.
He eats fish, but not meat.
251
00:17:43,076 --> 00:17:47,025
Well, I never!
Doesn't eat meat?
252
00:17:47,033 --> 00:17:50,009
He's coming for a shooting party,
and he doesn't eat meat.
253
00:17:50,017 --> 00:17:52,069
Mr. Weissman doesn't
intend to shoot.
254
00:17:52,077 --> 00:17:56,030
I think he just wants to walk
out with them, get a bit of air.
255
00:17:56,037 --> 00:17:58,031
Get a bit of air?
256
00:17:58,037 --> 00:18:00,067
Yes, thank you.
We'll make the necessary arrangements.
257
00:18:00,074 --> 00:18:04,027
Now I suggest you get one of
the servants to take you upstairs.
258
00:18:04,035 --> 00:18:06,028
Mr. Weissman is in
the Green bedroom,
259
00:18:06,035 --> 00:18:08,034
and you'll be sharing with
Lord Stockbridge's valet--
260
00:18:08,042 --> 00:18:10,035
Robert Parks.
261
00:18:13,015 --> 00:18:15,059
(WOMEN CHUCKLING)
262
00:18:17,013 --> 00:18:20,046
He's very full of himself, I must say.
Doesn't eat meat.
263
00:18:20,053 --> 00:18:23,097
Now, now, Mrs. Croft. We don't want
to be thought unsophisticated, do we?
264
00:18:24,003 --> 00:18:28,020
Mr. Weissman's an American.
They do things differently there.
265
00:18:29,094 --> 00:18:32,041
Good boy, now.
Give Louisa a kiss from me.
266
00:18:32,047 --> 00:18:34,041
NOVELLO:
Darling, I'm sorry about that.
267
00:18:34,048 --> 00:18:37,054
- I should have made it clear
- that Morris just doesn't shoot.
- SYLVIA: Don't worry.
268
00:18:37,061 --> 00:18:39,074
William's just making a fuss.
He has this ridiculous idea...
269
00:18:39,081 --> 00:18:42,008
that Americans all sleep
with guns under their pillows.
270
00:18:42,015 --> 00:18:44,098
They do, but they're more for
each other than for killing birds.
271
00:18:45,005 --> 00:18:48,075
(CLEARS THROAT) Remind me.
How are you related to William exactly?
272
00:18:48,082 --> 00:18:52,039
NOVELLO:
Our mothers were first cousins.
273
00:18:52,046 --> 00:18:54,040
STOCKBRIDGE: Don't believe
I ever met William's mother.
274
00:18:54,046 --> 00:18:57,040
Didn't she do something
rather original?
275
00:18:57,047 --> 00:19:00,070
Well, she was a teacher.
276
00:19:00,077 --> 00:19:03,024
And so was mine.
277
00:19:03,030 --> 00:19:06,047
- That's marvelous, isn't it?
- CONSTANCE: Sylvia is so clever.
278
00:19:06,054 --> 00:19:09,077
She always finds
such wonderful servants.
279
00:19:09,084 --> 00:19:11,090
I don't know how she manages.
280
00:19:11,098 --> 00:19:13,092
I'm breaking in
a new maid.
281
00:19:13,098 --> 00:19:16,004
I'm simply worn out
with it.
282
00:19:16,012 --> 00:19:18,088
Actually, there's nothing
more exhausting, is there?
283
00:19:18,095 --> 00:19:22,069
- I don't have a lady's maid.
- Oh. Hello.
284
00:19:22,076 --> 00:19:25,073
I was just telling dear Mabel here
about my new maid.
285
00:19:25,079 --> 00:19:29,036
Honestly, the amount I have to do
for her, she should be paying me.
286
00:19:29,043 --> 00:19:31,049
She does seem
rather young.
287
00:19:31,057 --> 00:19:35,020
Well, of course, what she is,
my dear, is wonderfully cheap.
288
00:19:35,027 --> 00:19:37,040
You've no right to pull me away
in mid-conversation.
289
00:19:37,047 --> 00:19:40,017
Mabel, where are you going?
The room's this way.
290
00:19:40,024 --> 00:19:42,034
Why the hell did you have to mention
you don't have a maid?
291
00:19:42,041 --> 00:19:45,011
Why would you mention you didn't
have a maid, for God's sake?
292
00:19:56,016 --> 00:19:59,075
You'd find it a lot easier to clean
them if you put the trees in first.
293
00:19:59,083 --> 00:20:01,076
I was just about
to do that.
294
00:20:03,097 --> 00:20:05,099
Are these
Mr. Novello's shoes?
295
00:20:06,007 --> 00:20:08,000
Yes.
296
00:20:16,041 --> 00:20:19,031
- Do you really live in Hollywood?
- I do.
297
00:20:19,038 --> 00:20:22,037
Hmm. How did you get there?
Where did you start from?
298
00:20:22,045 --> 00:20:25,065
Where else do you think?
Scotland.
299
00:20:25,072 --> 00:20:27,066
Were you always
in service?
300
00:20:27,072 --> 00:20:30,095
Did you ever think of trying to
get into films while you were there?
301
00:20:31,003 --> 00:20:34,066
I wanted to be an actor once...
when I was little.
302
00:20:34,073 --> 00:20:38,086
I suppose
old Mother Trentham...
303
00:20:38,093 --> 00:20:41,049
will have her begging bowl out
while she's here.
304
00:20:41,057 --> 00:20:44,004
She won't be bothering
your employers, that's certain.
305
00:20:44,011 --> 00:20:46,087
- Why not?
- ELSIE:
Because Lady Lavinia Meredith...
306
00:20:46,094 --> 00:20:49,097
- hasn't got a penny
to bless herself with.
- And whose fault is that?
307
00:20:50,004 --> 00:20:52,001
There's nothing wrong
with the commander.
308
00:20:52,008 --> 00:20:54,017
He's just been a bit
unfortunate.
309
00:20:54,025 --> 00:20:56,098
I'll say.
I think he's pathetic.
310
00:20:57,005 --> 00:20:59,065
Then why don't you
hand in your notice?
311
00:20:59,072 --> 00:21:02,016
Well, the other two sisters
fell on their feet.
312
00:21:02,022 --> 00:21:04,016
Of course, it helps
that they're both good-looking.
313
00:21:04,023 --> 00:21:06,069
- MARY: Lady Sylvia's lovely.
- You think so?
314
00:21:06,076 --> 00:21:09,066
- She might have done a bit
- better for herself, really.
- ELSIE: I beg your pardon.
315
00:21:09,073 --> 00:21:12,076
Lord Carton was determined to have Sir
William for either of the two eldest.
316
00:21:12,083 --> 00:21:14,077
I was told he could have
had his pick.
317
00:21:14,084 --> 00:21:17,081
- Why was Lord Carton so keen?
- Why do you think?
318
00:21:17,087 --> 00:21:22,011
Who do you suppose pays
for him to swan around Biarritz
for six months of the year?
319
00:21:22,018 --> 00:21:25,074
Come to that, who keeps Ma Trentham
in stockings and gin?
320
00:21:25,081 --> 00:21:29,088
- Old money bags, that's who.
- I think it's disgusting
the way they all use him.
321
00:21:29,095 --> 00:21:33,012
None of the rest of them
have got the brains to make
the price of a packet of tea.
322
00:21:33,019 --> 00:21:36,016
- Are you finished, Elsie?
- Yes, Mrs. Wilson.
323
00:21:36,022 --> 00:21:39,009
- I've just got this hem to do.
- What's Lord Stockbridge like?
324
00:21:39,016 --> 00:21:41,065
He thinks
he's God Almighty.
325
00:21:41,073 --> 00:21:43,066
They all do.
326
00:22:00,015 --> 00:22:03,068
- Why does this fork go on the right?
- (CHUCKLES)
327
00:22:03,075 --> 00:22:06,069
Because they eat the fish
with two of them.
328
00:22:06,075 --> 00:22:10,038
- One in each hand.
- Why is that, then?
329
00:22:10,046 --> 00:22:13,062
- Search me.
- GEORGE: What are you doing here?
330
00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:17,043
- Just looking around.
- Mr. Jennings will be up in a minute.
331
00:22:17,050 --> 00:22:20,043
If I were you,
I'd go and look around somewhere else.
332
00:22:20,050 --> 00:22:23,094
- Is that what you'd do?
- That's exactly what I would do.
333
00:22:24,001 --> 00:22:25,094
Then that's what
I'll do.
334
00:22:28,061 --> 00:22:31,044
- Something funny about that bloke.
- His accent for a start.
335
00:22:31,051 --> 00:22:33,078
- What do you think his game is?
- I don't know.
336
00:22:33,085 --> 00:22:38,034
Are you finished? What about
Lord Rupert Standish and Mr. Blond?
337
00:22:38,042 --> 00:22:41,029
Her Ladyship said
not to wait for them.
338
00:22:41,036 --> 00:22:43,029
The stuff's all ready
if they turn up on time.
339
00:22:43,036 --> 00:22:45,059
We can stick on
two extra places in a jiffy.
340
00:22:45,066 --> 00:22:49,056
When they arrive, you'll be
dressing Mr. Blond, Arthur.
341
00:22:49,063 --> 00:22:52,007
- Mr. Blond?
- Yes, Mr. Blond.
342
00:22:52,013 --> 00:22:54,057
George, you'll have
Lord Rupert.
343
00:22:54,064 --> 00:22:56,097
If they're very late,
they can change by themselves,
344
00:22:57,004 --> 00:22:59,001
and you can tidy up
when they're downstairs.
345
00:22:59,007 --> 00:23:01,001
Is Mr. Nesbitt
settled?
346
00:23:01,008 --> 00:23:03,010
I'll go and finish
him off now, sir.
347
00:23:03,018 --> 00:23:07,064
- And Mr. Novello?
- Mr. Weissman's man will attend to him.
348
00:23:08,095 --> 00:23:11,058
Right.
After you're finished,
349
00:23:11,065 --> 00:23:13,075
join me in the drawing room
with the drinks.
350
00:23:17,056 --> 00:23:20,026
- What's the matter with you?
- Nothing.
351
00:23:21,070 --> 00:23:24,039
Only I thought I'd be doing
Mr. Novello, that's all.
352
00:23:24,047 --> 00:23:26,063
Now you won't get to see him
in his under drawers.
353
00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:29,007
Never mind.
Better luck next time.
354
00:23:34,001 --> 00:23:36,027
They're rather
a mixed bunch.
355
00:23:36,034 --> 00:23:38,031
That Mr. Weissman's
very odd.
356
00:23:38,038 --> 00:23:40,087
Apparently, he produces
motion pictures.
357
00:23:40,095 --> 00:23:44,061
The Charlie Chan mysteries.
Or does he direct them?
358
00:23:44,069 --> 00:23:46,095
I never know the difference.
359
00:23:47,002 --> 00:23:50,001
Really?
I enjoy those, milady.
360
00:23:50,009 --> 00:23:52,003
Ye-- Mary.
361
00:23:52,009 --> 00:23:54,032
I suppose it's fun
having a film star staying.
362
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,093
There's always so little to talk about
after the first flush of recognition.
363
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,084
And why has Freddie Nesbitt brought
that awful, common little wife of his?
364
00:24:03,091 --> 00:24:07,034
I mean, Isobel only asked him
because a gun dropped out.
365
00:24:07,041 --> 00:24:10,007
That's no excuse
to inflict her on us all.
366
00:24:10,014 --> 00:24:12,088
Mary!
(SIGHS)
367
00:24:12,095 --> 00:24:15,038
So what's the gossip
in the servants' hall?
368
00:24:15,045 --> 00:24:19,001
- Um, nothing, milady.
- Hmm?
369
00:24:19,009 --> 00:24:21,032
Nonsense.
Come on. Out with it.
370
00:24:22,059 --> 00:24:24,089
Well, is it true
that Sir William...
371
00:24:24,096 --> 00:24:28,042
could have married Lady Stockbridge
if he'd wanted to?
372
00:24:30,023 --> 00:24:32,046
Is that what
they're saying?
373
00:24:32,053 --> 00:24:35,099
Only that Lord Carton was
after Sir William for one of them,
374
00:24:36,007 --> 00:24:38,001
but he didn't care which.
375
00:24:38,007 --> 00:24:41,027
What would you say
if I told you...
376
00:24:41,034 --> 00:24:43,064
they cut cards for him?
377
00:24:44,085 --> 00:24:47,028
William, Lewis said
you wanted me.
378
00:24:47,035 --> 00:24:49,054
- Who's next to me at dinner?
- Oh, you know.
379
00:24:49,062 --> 00:24:51,055
Aunt Constance
and Lavinia.
380
00:24:51,062 --> 00:24:53,082
Why do I have to have
that bloody old trout all the time?
381
00:24:53,089 --> 00:24:57,062
- I want Louisa.
- Do I have to explain
the table of precedence again?
382
00:24:57,069 --> 00:25:00,053
- I don't give a shit about precedence.
- Well, you always complain...
383
00:25:00,060 --> 00:25:02,093
that people look down on you,
and then you behave like a peasant.
384
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,047
Now, tomorrow morning,
I'll--
385
00:25:05,053 --> 00:25:08,030
I'll breakfast in bed,
386
00:25:08,037 --> 00:25:10,030
and then get straight up
into the tweeds.
387
00:25:10,037 --> 00:25:12,031
What shirt
have you brought?
388
00:25:12,037 --> 00:25:15,000
Um, the green
with the pink stripe.
389
00:25:15,008 --> 00:25:17,091
Oh, no, dear. No.
That's quite wrong.
390
00:25:17,098 --> 00:25:20,064
No, always something
very plain for country sports.
391
00:25:20,072 --> 00:25:23,062
The one I had on today
will do.
392
00:25:23,068 --> 00:25:27,031
- But it's soiled.
- Yeah, well, you can wash it,
can't you?
393
00:25:29,052 --> 00:25:32,015
God. I hate shooting.
394
00:25:33,093 --> 00:25:36,059
Why does one
have to do these things?
395
00:25:36,066 --> 00:25:38,093
MCCORDLE:
Has Constance asked for money yet?
396
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,094
- No.
- Raymond tells me...
397
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,010
she's been complaining that
her allowance isn't big enough.
398
00:25:44,017 --> 00:25:46,007
Good mind to stop it
completely.
399
00:25:46,014 --> 00:25:48,077
- I thought it was for her lifetime.
- (LAUGHS)
400
00:25:48,084 --> 00:25:50,081
No, no.
401
00:25:53,055 --> 00:25:56,007
- Will that be all, sir?
- Mmm.
402
00:25:56,015 --> 00:25:58,045
I do wish that Anthony
wasn't here.
403
00:25:58,052 --> 00:26:00,045
Make sure I'm not
left alone with him, will you?
404
00:26:00,052 --> 00:26:03,018
- SYLVIA: Why?
- I'm pulling out of his scheme.
405
00:26:03,026 --> 00:26:05,052
Oh.
Have you told him?
406
00:26:05,059 --> 00:26:07,053
No, and I'm not
going to either.
407
00:26:07,060 --> 00:26:10,053
Louisa said I should leave it
till next week.
408
00:26:10,060 --> 00:26:12,086
Let him sob in private.
409
00:26:12,093 --> 00:26:15,084
Go. Say hello to your mommy.
Go on.
410
00:26:15,090 --> 00:26:18,000
Far be it from me
to contradict Louisa.
411
00:26:18,007 --> 00:26:21,037
(WHIMPERS)
412
00:26:21,044 --> 00:26:24,021
- Will there be anything else?
- Just get Pip.
He might fall down the stairs.
413
00:26:24,028 --> 00:26:26,084
Hey, hey, come here.
Come here.
414
00:26:26,091 --> 00:26:29,098
Thank you, Elsie.
You keep hold of him.
415
00:26:30,005 --> 00:26:32,035
- Is everything all right?
- Cheap dress, wrong shoes.
416
00:26:32,042 --> 00:26:35,036
I'm making bricks without straw,
Mr. Probert, really.
417
00:26:35,042 --> 00:26:38,083
- You don't have any
spare hairpins, do you?
- Yeah.
418
00:26:38,089 --> 00:26:41,089
I'm trying to get back to the room
for a second, and I can't find it.
419
00:26:41,096 --> 00:26:43,090
It's the staircase
at the end of the corridor.
420
00:26:43,097 --> 00:26:46,059
- Oh, thank you.
- Ah.
421
00:26:46,067 --> 00:26:48,083
Oh, Pip.
Oh, thank you, Elsie.
422
00:26:48,090 --> 00:26:51,043
Thank you. Oh!
You've got some hair on your dress.
423
00:26:51,051 --> 00:26:53,057
- Thank you, sir.
- Yes.
424
00:27:02,018 --> 00:27:05,038
NESBITT: Shut up, Mabel! There is
nothing going on between me and Isobel.
425
00:27:05,045 --> 00:27:07,079
Can't you just tell me the truth?
You're a liar, Freddie.
426
00:27:07,086 --> 00:27:09,079
- There is nothing--
- You are a liar!
427
00:27:09,086 --> 00:27:12,042
- Don't you call me a liar!
- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

from Lady Trentham's maid.

Right.

Well... there's no harm
in trying.

WEISSMAN:
Well, thank you very much, Mr. Jennings.
438
00:28:03,014 --> 00:28:05,067
- Just Jennings, sir.
- All right.

Just Jennings.

Oh, by the way, I've booked
a telephone call to California,

00:28:10,075 --> 00:28:14,045
and I'd appreciate it if you would
get me as soon as it comes through.
442
00:28:14,052 --> 00:28:16,046
- Very good, sir.
- Thank you, Jennings.
443
00:28:26,003 --> 00:28:28,023
You're not gonna provide
entertainment?

your invitation.

I can't imagine how one
ever goes about inventing a tune.

Where do you start?
451
00:28:52,056 --> 00:28:54,053
It's rather difficult

Well, I think
you're too clever for words.

Yes, I do.

00:31:01,069 --> 00:31:03,062
may the Lord make us
truly grateful.
486
00:31:03,069 --> 00:31:05,082
JENNINGS: Right.
Start when you get it.
487
00:31:05,089 --> 00:31:07,083
No time for loitering.
488
00:31:10,090 --> 00:31:13,030
I'm not serving tonight,
Mr. Jennings, am I?
489
00:31:13,037 --> 00:31:16,017
Not tonight, Elsie,
but probably tomorrow.
490
00:31:17,044 --> 00:31:19,053
Where is Mrs. Croft?
491
00:31:19,061 --> 00:31:21,054
Always eats
with her own staff.
492
00:31:21,061 --> 00:31:25,005
Does she take her pudding to
Mrs. Wilson's room? Our cook does that.
493
00:31:25,011 --> 00:31:28,014
Fat chance.
They hate each other.
494
00:31:28,022 --> 00:31:31,052
- Can I ask a question?
- Certainly, Mr. Weissman.
495
00:31:31,059 --> 00:31:33,052
How can we help you?
496
00:31:33,059 --> 00:31:37,085
I just wondered, how many people here
had parents in service?
497
00:31:37,093 --> 00:31:40,095
And was that why
they chose to go into it?
498
00:31:41,003 --> 00:31:45,086
What an interesting question,
and one to which, I'm afraid,
I cannot provide the answer.
499
00:31:45,093 --> 00:31:50,043
All of you whose parents
were in service, raise your hand.
500
00:31:50,050 --> 00:31:53,010
- My father was.
- Both-- nanny and groom.
501
00:31:53,017 --> 00:31:56,027
- Not you, Dorothy?
- My father was a farmer, Mr. Jennings.
502
00:31:56,034 --> 00:31:58,094
A tenant of Lord Carton's.
503
00:31:59,001 --> 00:32:01,081
- Mr. Meredith?
- Factory hands, both of them.
504
00:32:01,088 --> 00:32:04,022
- And if you ask me,
they were better off.
- (CHUCKLES)
505
00:32:04,029 --> 00:32:08,062
What about you,
Mr. Stockbridge?
506
00:32:08,069 --> 00:32:10,075
GEORGE:
What's the matter? Don't you know?
507
00:32:10,082 --> 00:32:12,095
Yeah, I know
what they did.
508
00:32:13,003 --> 00:32:16,056
But it didn't have any effect
on me or my choice of work.
509
00:32:16,063 --> 00:32:19,053
- And why's that?
- Because I grew up in an orphanage.
510
00:32:25,057 --> 00:32:27,051
JENNINGS:
Thank you, Mr. Weissman,
511
00:32:27,057 --> 00:32:30,027
for giving us all
a little something to think about.
512
00:32:44,079 --> 00:32:47,039
Oh, Her Ladyship.
513
00:32:47,046 --> 00:32:51,006
SYLVIA:
Oh, I'm so sorry to disturb you.
514
00:32:51,013 --> 00:32:54,003
Please, do sit down
and finish your supper.
515
00:32:54,010 --> 00:32:56,037
Mrs. Wilson, a major crisis has arisen.
I have just found out...
516
00:32:56,044 --> 00:32:59,031
that Mr. Weissman won't eat meat,
and I don't know what to do.
517
00:32:59,037 --> 00:33:01,050
I can't tell Mrs. Croft.
I simply don't dare.
518
00:33:01,058 --> 00:33:03,051
Everything's under control,
Your Ladyship.
519
00:33:03,058 --> 00:33:05,055
Mr. Weissman's valet informed us
as soon as he arrived,
520
00:33:05,061 --> 00:33:07,071
so we've prepared
a special version of the soup.
521
00:33:07,078 --> 00:33:09,077
He can eat the fish
and the hors d'oeuvres,
522
00:33:09,085 --> 00:33:11,079
and we'll have a Welsh rarebit
for the game course.
523
00:33:11,085 --> 00:33:15,055
I don't know what we're going
to do about the entree,
but we'll think of something.
524
00:33:15,062 --> 00:33:18,075
Thank you, Mrs. Wilson.
Ten steps ahead as usual.
525
00:33:18,083 --> 00:33:21,046
Which one of you
is Mr. Weissman's valet?
526
00:33:21,053 --> 00:33:24,005
I am, Your Ladyship.
527
00:33:25,070 --> 00:33:27,063
Are you, indeed?
Yes, heavens.
528
00:33:27,070 --> 00:33:32,054
Um, thank you for your...
efficiency.
529
00:33:38,008 --> 00:33:40,064
- You're all set, then.
- JENNINGS: Yes, George?
530
00:33:40,071 --> 00:33:42,065
Nothing, sir.
531
00:33:42,072 --> 00:33:45,078
I should hope not.
I'm very hungry.
532
00:33:45,085 --> 00:33:47,079
(CHATTERING)
533
00:33:59,063 --> 00:34:02,019
I was, uh,
wondering, William,
534
00:34:02,027 --> 00:34:04,090
if I could have a word
with you alone after dinner.
535
00:34:04,097 --> 00:34:06,091
I can't leave my guests,
can I?
536
00:34:08,044 --> 00:34:10,038
You'll make that dog sick.
537
00:34:10,044 --> 00:34:12,041
Isobel, did you know
that William and I...
538
00:34:12,048 --> 00:34:14,061
are going into business
together in the Sudan?
539
00:34:14,068 --> 00:34:17,048
- No, I didn't know that.
- It's quite exciting.
540
00:34:17,055 --> 00:34:19,049
What's happened is
apparently,
541
00:34:19,055 --> 00:34:22,015
there are hundreds and hundreds
of Sudanese native soldiers,
542
00:34:22,022 --> 00:34:24,066
entire regiments
wandering around the desert,
543
00:34:24,073 --> 00:34:27,046
willy-nilly, without
anything on their feet,
544
00:34:27,053 --> 00:34:30,012
which causes some hardship,
I imagine.
545
00:34:30,020 --> 00:34:33,000
No, I grew up
in Leicester.
546
00:34:33,007 --> 00:34:36,023
- My father had a glove factory.
- Really?
547
00:34:36,030 --> 00:34:39,030
One thing I do know is
how a glove should fit.
548
00:34:39,037 --> 00:34:42,037
Really, darling. You're boring
poor Mr. Novello to death.
549
00:34:42,044 --> 00:34:44,038
(MOUTHING WORDS)
550
00:34:44,045 --> 00:34:48,011
- NOVELLO: No!
- WEISSMAN: I think he's going
to explain everything to me...
551
00:34:48,018 --> 00:34:50,055
and kind of show me
how it all works.
552
00:34:50,062 --> 00:34:53,085
There's gonna be a pheasant hunt
in my picture.
553
00:34:53,092 --> 00:34:57,032
There's a large market in modernizing
the armies in the Sudan...
554
00:34:57,039 --> 00:34:59,033
and providing them
with boots.
555
00:34:59,039 --> 00:35:02,059
WOMAN: And then the old bag
just served it to all the servants.
556
00:35:02,066 --> 00:35:04,060
I couldn't believe it.
557
00:35:04,067 --> 00:35:06,086
Aren't you cold?
558
00:35:06,093 --> 00:35:09,003
It's better
than that kitchen.
559
00:35:12,061 --> 00:35:15,001
Here. I thought
you could do with this.
560
00:35:15,008 --> 00:35:17,031
- Oh, that's kind, love.
- (VEHICLE APPROACHING)
561
00:35:22,062 --> 00:35:24,055
MAN:
Elsie, hello.
562
00:35:24,062 --> 00:35:27,085
- Good evening, Your Lordship.
- We've got bags and guns
and everything and no man.
563
00:35:27,092 --> 00:35:29,086
If I give you the keys,
will you sort it out for me?
564
00:35:29,092 --> 00:35:31,086
- Of course, Your Lordship.
- Thank you.
565
00:35:31,093 --> 00:35:34,009
- We'll get your bags, sir.
- Thank you. That's very kind of you.
566
00:35:34,016 --> 00:35:36,010
Good evening.
567
00:35:37,026 --> 00:35:39,020
Right.
In the boot, is it?
568
00:35:42,054 --> 00:35:45,003
Sorry, can I trouble you
for a light, please?
569
00:35:45,011 --> 00:35:47,004
- You got that bag?
- Yeah.
570
00:35:53,001 --> 00:35:54,095
Thank you.
Good evening.
571
00:35:56,098 --> 00:35:59,045
MEREDITH: You mean you think he's
losing interest in that sort of thing?
572
00:35:59,052 --> 00:36:01,072
Well, not just that.
The whole Empire.
573
00:36:01,079 --> 00:36:03,081
I think he said
the steam's gone out of it.
574
00:36:03,089 --> 00:36:07,009
(CHUCKLES)
William?
575
00:36:07,016 --> 00:36:09,093
That's not true, is it--
that you think the Empire's finished?
576
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,006
I've been what?
577
00:36:12,013 --> 00:36:14,007
Well, the Empire was
finished after the war.
578
00:36:14,013 --> 00:36:16,097
Well, because of the war.
It changed everything.
579
00:36:17,004 --> 00:36:20,060
- Empire Leicester Square?
- Well, I don't care
what's changed or not changed.
580
00:36:20,067 --> 00:36:23,034
As long as our sons are spared
what you all went through.
581
00:36:23,041 --> 00:36:26,064
Oh, not all.
You didn't fight, William?
582
00:36:26,071 --> 00:36:28,077
I did my bit.
583
00:36:28,085 --> 00:36:30,091
SYLVIA:
Well, you made a lot of money,
584
00:36:30,098 --> 00:36:35,029
but it's not quite the same thing as
charging into the cannon's mouth, is it?
585
00:36:35,036 --> 00:36:37,029
Thank God for Raymond.
At least the family...
586
00:36:37,036 --> 00:36:39,092
had one representative
in the front line.
587
00:36:39,099 --> 00:36:44,019
Raymond, tell them how many times
you were mentioned in the despatches.
588
00:36:44,026 --> 00:36:46,063
- I forget.
- No, you don't. Come on.
589
00:36:46,070 --> 00:36:49,060
- NESBITT: Is he being modest?
- Yes, he's being very modest.
590
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,044
What do you think
you're doing here?
591
00:36:53,051 --> 00:36:56,014
Mrs. Wilson asked me to tell you
that the others have arrived.
592
00:36:56,021 --> 00:36:58,058
JENNINGS:
Good.
593
00:37:07,032 --> 00:37:09,085
Lord Rupert Standish
and Mr. Blond are here, milady.
594
00:37:09,092 --> 00:37:12,009
No, they're too late. They can
have a tray in the billiard room.
595
00:37:12,016 --> 00:37:14,079
- They can join us later.
- Very good, milady.
596
00:37:14,086 --> 00:37:18,035
- Is Rupert here?
- Shall I go and say hello?
- SYLVIA: Yes.
597
00:37:18,043 --> 00:37:21,010
No, I don't think so.
598
00:37:24,084 --> 00:37:26,081
BLOND:
Face it. You're a younger son...
599
00:37:26,087 --> 00:37:31,033
with the taste of marquess
and the income of a vicar.
600
00:37:31,041 --> 00:37:34,085
Her mother likes you.
She does too.
601
00:37:34,092 --> 00:37:36,098
Now, I know she's not
exactly a show-stopper--
602
00:37:37,005 --> 00:37:39,085
- Her father's not keen on the idea.
- He'll come around.
603
00:37:39,092 --> 00:37:44,036
Have you met my daughter,
Lady Rupert Standish?"
604
00:37:44,042 --> 00:37:46,055
He thinks I'm in it
for the money.
605
00:37:46,063 --> 00:37:49,079
Of course he does.
But you can't let that put you off.
606
00:37:49,086 --> 00:37:52,013
He's much more of an obstacle
than you think.
607
00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:55,057
Then you must overcome that,
mustn't you?
608
00:37:55,064 --> 00:37:59,040
Her Ladyship asked if you would
join her in the drawing room
when you've finished.
609
00:37:59,047 --> 00:38:01,041
MCCORDLE:
All right, ladies, off you go.
610
00:38:01,048 --> 00:38:03,041
(CHATTERING)
611
00:38:03,048 --> 00:38:05,038
Gentlemen.
612
00:38:05,045 --> 00:38:07,044
Gents, move down.
Move down.
613
00:38:07,051 --> 00:38:10,031
Louisa, look after Pip
for me, will you?
614
00:38:10,038 --> 00:38:13,079
I wonder if we could have
a word or two later on, William?
615
00:38:13,085 --> 00:38:16,055
Do you think so?
616
00:38:16,062 --> 00:38:18,099
Ah, good, good.
617
00:38:19,006 --> 00:38:21,039
- Jennings, could I--
- Certainly, sir.
618
00:38:23,083 --> 00:38:26,056
BERTHA: There's more in here.
I'm just getting them.
619
00:38:26,063 --> 00:38:28,083
I need all the knives there.
All the knives.
620
00:38:28,090 --> 00:38:31,027
Come on, Maude.
Let's go and get the fish kettle.
621
00:38:35,094 --> 00:38:39,007
Fred? Albert?
Ready?
622
00:38:41,015 --> 00:38:43,008
- There he is.
- Who?
623
00:38:43,015 --> 00:38:47,038
Lord Stockbridge's valet.
Apparently, he grew up in an orphanage.
624
00:38:47,045 --> 00:38:49,095
Arthur said they made him
shout it down the table.
625
00:38:50,002 --> 00:38:51,096
Makes you feel
sorry for him, really.
626
00:38:52,003 --> 00:38:53,096
MRS. CROFT: It's nothing to be
ashamed of. It's not his fault.
627
00:38:54,003 --> 00:38:58,002
Would you like me to ask Lord Rupert
and Mr. Blond to join you, sir?
628
00:38:58,010 --> 00:39:00,043
No, leave them be.
They can entertain the ladies.
629
00:39:00,050 --> 00:39:02,044
Give Mr. Novello a rest.
630
00:39:02,050 --> 00:39:04,084
Anthony, did I overhear you
at dinner saying...
631
00:39:04,091 --> 00:39:07,017
- you were going into business
with Sir William?
- I beg your pardon?
632
00:39:07,024 --> 00:39:09,021
- Is it very old?
- Possibly, possibly.
633
00:39:09,028 --> 00:39:12,041
If you need an expert
in changing money,
634
00:39:12,048 --> 00:39:14,074
especially Africa,
I'm your man--expert.
635
00:39:14,082 --> 00:39:16,078
Yes, the expert.
636
00:39:16,085 --> 00:39:20,008
No, it's not here.
637
00:39:20,015 --> 00:39:22,009
And Mr. Jennings is certain
he hasn't got it?
638
00:39:22,016 --> 00:39:24,009
Oh, so he says.
639
00:39:24,016 --> 00:39:26,072
But if it's a silver carving knife,
he must have it.
640
00:39:26,079 --> 00:39:29,032
It's just gone in the wrong drawer
in the silver pantry.
641
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,016
- It wouldn't have been put in here.
- Well, that's what I told him.
642
00:39:33,097 --> 00:39:37,050
How old would you say
that Mr. Stockbridge was?
643
00:39:37,057 --> 00:39:42,003
Don't know.
About 31, 32.
644
00:39:42,011 --> 00:39:44,041
- Why?
- Oh, no reason.
645
00:39:44,048 --> 00:39:47,041
I think I'll turn in.
We got an early start.

00:39:47,048 --> 00:39:50,008
You can tell Mr. Jennings
we haven't got that knife.

Pleasant evening, milady?
648
00:40:03,013 --> 00:40:05,007
Not really, no.
649
00:40:05,013 --> 00:40:08,053
Had Lord Stockbridge on one side
boring for Britain,
650
00:40:08,060 --> 00:40:11,083
and Freddie Nesbitt
on the other sucking up.
651
00:40:13,074 --> 00:40:16,064
Oh, I'm worn out.
Is there any more chocolate in that pot?
652
00:40:18,041 --> 00:40:20,075
I'll go down and
make some more, milady.

657
00:40:42,057 --> 00:40:45,006
I was looking
for my maid.
658

She's just gone downstairs.
659
00:40:47,014 --> 00:40:49,070
Can I help?
660
00:40:49,078 --> 00:40:53,098
She's going to fetch me some chocolate,
but now I wonder whether
I wouldn't prefer milk.
661
00:40:54,005 --> 00:40:56,057
Would that be hot milk
or cold?

You decide.

I couldn't say, milady.
664
00:41:02,022 --> 00:41:04,059
Hot then, with something
to make it sweet.

You have your hands
in your pockets.
666

- Otherwise, I'll never sleep.
- Why?

I have a feeling
I might have trouble tonight.
669
00:41:16,087 --> 00:41:21,060
I'll be wide awake at 1:00 a.m.,
bored to sobs.

Then we must try and think
of something to amuse you.

- Barnes. It's all right.
- Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.
672
00:41:42,050 --> 00:41:44,043
No, I knew it. I knew William
would try something like this.

- Well, of course he would. Fuck him!

I think you should
come with me tomorrow.
676
00:41:57,091 --> 00:41:59,085
I'll just say
I need you.
677

Oh, I got through
to the coast tonight.

so... Sheehan's
pushing for a rewrite.

too small.

There's no rush.
693
00:43:47,049 --> 00:43:52,008

What's this?
What are you doing here?
700
00:44:16,028 --> 00:44:19,065
I came up the wrong staircase. I was
just waiting till the coast was clear.
701
00:44:21,045 --> 00:44:23,092
Well, you better go down again
before anyone catches you.
702
00:44:23,099 --> 00:44:25,093
Just a minute.
703
00:44:38,091 --> 00:44:41,037
- What?
- Nothing.
704
00:44:45,095 --> 00:44:48,031
- Do you want a drink?
- Sure.
705
00:44:50,062 --> 00:44:53,042
So what do you make
of the place?
706
00:44:53,049 --> 00:44:56,029
Is this a well-run house,
would you say?

Do you think Sir William
would be good to work for?

No.
709
00:45:01,039 --> 00:45:03,056
How long you been
doing this?
710
00:45:03,063 --> 00:45:05,079
- What?
- Valeting?
711
00:45:05,087 --> 00:45:10,060
About seven years.
I was a footman before that.
712
00:45:10,067 --> 00:45:13,066
And working for Lord Stockbridge--
is that a promotion?
713
00:45:13,074 --> 00:45:15,068
No.
714
00:45:18,055 --> 00:45:20,048
I used to be with
the Earl of Flintshire.
715
00:45:21,072 --> 00:45:23,065
Then why did you move?
716
00:45:23,072 --> 00:45:25,065
Cause I felt like it.
717
00:45:27,025 --> 00:45:29,055
Who's that?
718
00:45:29,062 --> 00:45:32,011
- That's my mother.
- Where's she live?
719
00:45:32,019 --> 00:45:34,046
She doesn't. That's why
they put me in an orphanage.
720
00:45:35,073 --> 00:45:39,019
That's right. Sorry.
721
00:45:39,027 --> 00:45:41,020
What happened to her?
722
00:45:42,057 --> 00:45:44,050
What do you mean?
723
00:45:44,057 --> 00:45:47,070
I mean, why did she die?
Was she young?
724
00:45:47,077 --> 00:45:50,061
Was it in childbirth?
725
00:45:50,068 --> 00:45:53,008
You're not very curious,
are you?
726
00:45:56,028 --> 00:45:59,022
Yeah, she was young.
She worked in a factory.
727
00:45:59,029 --> 00:46:01,038
She had me.
A little while later, she died.
728
00:46:01,045 --> 00:46:03,086
End of story.
729
00:46:03,092 --> 00:46:06,052
Then why didn't you say
she was a factory worker at dinner?
730
00:46:06,059 --> 00:46:10,066
Cause I didn't fancy discussing
my private life
with a table full of strangers.

out of turn, mate.

I'm not offended.
734
00:46:19,044 --> 00:46:21,037

00:46:23,048 --> 00:46:27,041
Well, I'll see you later.

I'm gonna have to watch you, my girl.
I can see that.

Her Ladyship says Mr. Weissman's
a Hollywood producer.

He does
the Charlie Chan films.

Yeah, I like those. I like
a bit of a fright in the cinema.

00:47:01,065 --> 00:47:04,031
You could go with his valet.
He'd give you a fright.
746
00:47:06,055 --> 00:47:10,065
You'd better keep your eye on him.
I think he's a queer one.
747
00:47:10,072 --> 00:47:13,039
He's not from Scotland,
for a start.
748
00:47:13,046 --> 00:47:15,083
At least not any part of it
that I know.

for her, really.

- Of course, it never works.
- What never works?

00:47:28,051 --> 00:47:30,057
Well, when a man like that
marries beneath him,
753
00:47:30,064 --> 00:47:33,014
he hasn't got the brains
to carry it off.
754
00:47:33,021 --> 00:47:36,001
I think it's romantic
to marry for love.
755

Love? Not him.

No, it was her father's money
he was after.

and now it's all spent,

is a wife he's ashamed of.

too little of it last January,

00:53:00,087 --> 00:53:03,027
Well, I suppose
one can't have everything.
815
00:53:03,034 --> 00:53:06,018
Mary, I don't think
I'll wear that shirt after all.
816
00:53:06,025 --> 00:53:08,071
The other one's warmer.
That's all I care about.
817
00:53:10,095 --> 00:53:13,015
Ooh, yummy.
818
00:53:13,022 --> 00:53:15,015
Yummy, yummy, yummy.
819
00:53:16,052 --> 00:53:18,089
What do you mean,
you're going shooting?
820
00:53:18,096 --> 00:53:22,086
Mr. Weissman wants me to accompany him.
Nothing wrong in that.
821
00:53:22,093 --> 00:53:26,023
But what for? You're not loading.
He hasn't got a gun.
822
00:53:26,030 --> 00:53:30,010
- He might need something.
- What could he need?
823
00:53:30,017 --> 00:53:35,016
Yeah, we know the very idea of service
is offensive to you, George.
824
00:53:35,024 --> 00:53:37,090
But there's no need
to take it out on the rest of us.
825
00:53:37,098 --> 00:53:40,064
Please forgive our ill manners,
Mr. Weissman.
826
00:53:44,088 --> 00:53:47,079
I think he's got
something to hide, that one.
827
00:53:47,085 --> 00:53:52,015
We all have something to hide,
Mr. Meredith.
828
00:54:13,001 --> 00:54:15,014
Would you like to
get changed now, miss?
829
00:54:16,025 --> 00:54:19,031
- He won't do it.
- Who won't do what?
830
00:54:19,039 --> 00:54:23,022
My father.
He won't give Freddie a job.
831
00:54:23,029 --> 00:54:26,009
I spoke to him last night,
and he said he'd think about it.
832
00:54:26,016 --> 00:54:29,079
But this morning, he says it isn't
up to him, when, of course, it is.
833
00:54:29,086 --> 00:54:32,023
- Why not?
- I don't know.
834
00:54:32,030 --> 00:54:34,079
Something to do with
why Freddie was sacked.
835
00:54:34,087 --> 00:54:37,063
But I can't get a straight answer
out of either of them.
836
00:54:37,070 --> 00:54:42,004
Well, you've done your best.
Mr. Nesbitt can't ask
for more than that now, can he?
837
00:54:42,011 --> 00:54:44,010
But he can, much more!
838
00:54:44,018 --> 00:54:46,011
He says he's going
to tell him.
839
00:54:46,018 --> 00:54:49,041
- (OPENING DRAWER)
- Do you think he will?
840
00:54:49,048 --> 00:54:53,048
I don't know. He says Daddy
will give him a job to keep him quiet.
841
00:54:56,096 --> 00:54:58,089
Will you say something?
842
00:54:58,096 --> 00:55:00,089
To Mr. Nesbitt?
843
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,073
To Daddy.
844
00:55:07,063 --> 00:55:10,069
Really, miss, why do you think
I can make a difference?
845
00:55:11,090 --> 00:55:14,074
Will you?
846
00:55:14,081 --> 00:55:17,054

your warm underwear today.

01:03:14,069 --> 01:03:18,012
- Aye.
- Well, I asked Her Ladyship about it.
977
01:03:18,019 --> 01:03:20,079
She said
they cut cards for him.
978
01:03:22,029 --> 01:03:24,042
- No!
- I know.
979
01:03:24,050 --> 01:03:26,043
I can't believe it
either.
980
01:03:26,050 --> 01:03:28,093
Do you suppose
it was a joke?
981
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:31,094
Well, I wouldn't
be too sure.
982
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,027
You know what I heard?
983
01:03:34,034 --> 01:03:36,027
Oh, just listen to me.
984
01:03:36,034 --> 01:03:39,078
- What?
- Why do we spend our lives
living through them?
985
01:03:40,085 --> 01:03:42,078
I mean,
look at poor old Lewis.
986
01:03:42,085 --> 01:03:45,058
If her own mother
had a heart attack,
987
01:03:45,065 --> 01:03:48,059
she'd think it was less important
than one of Lady Sylvia's farts.
988
01:03:48,065 --> 01:03:51,072
You must know.
You can't fool me.
989
01:03:51,079 --> 01:03:54,062
If there's one thing I don't
look for in a maid, it's discretion.
990
01:03:54,069 --> 01:03:57,013
Except with my own secrets,
of course.
991
01:03:57,020 --> 01:03:59,050
Well, I don't know much,
milady,
992
01:03:59,057 --> 01:04:02,083
but apparently he was counting
on Sir William for an investment...
993
01:04:02,090 --> 01:04:06,039
and had guaranteed his interest,
whatever that means.
994
01:04:06,047 --> 01:04:08,084
Anyway, Mr. Barnes,
the commander's valet,
995
01:04:08,091 --> 01:04:11,034
he said he wanted
to leave at once,
996
01:04:11,041 --> 01:04:15,035
but Lady Lavinia's persuaded him
to stay until tomorrow
to make less of a thing of it.
997
01:04:15,041 --> 01:04:17,035
- (DOOR OPENS)
- SYLVIA: Oh, thank heavens.
998
01:04:17,042 --> 01:04:19,068
Lewis told me
you were wearing white.
999
01:04:19,075 --> 01:04:22,069
White? She must be mad.
I never wear white.
1000
01:04:22,075 --> 01:04:24,069
I thought
it was a little odd.
1001
01:04:24,076 --> 01:04:28,009
By the way, for God's sake,
don't rub him up tonight.
1002
01:04:28,016 --> 01:04:31,010
- I don't know what you mean.
- You know exactly what I mean.
1003
01:04:31,016 --> 01:04:33,060
He's in a filthy mood
with everyone.
1004
01:04:33,067 --> 01:04:35,076
He's talking about
stopping your allowance.
1005
01:04:37,017 --> 01:04:40,061
But it's for life.
That was settled. He can't do that.
1006
01:04:40,067 --> 01:04:44,044
Just you watch him.
He's absolutely spoiling for a fight.
1007
01:04:44,051 --> 01:04:47,045
So if you'll take my advice,
you won't give him one.
1008

Goodness, isn't it pretty here?
1012

The house has
such lovely position.
1013
01:05:06,047 --> 01:05:09,006
The best view's
from the old water tower.
1014
01:05:09,013 --> 01:05:11,057
You might well
walk up there tomorrow.
1015
01:05:12,097 --> 01:05:15,091
Do you really have to
go back to London?
1016
01:05:15,097 --> 01:05:17,091
I am afraid so,
Raymond.
1017
01:05:17,098 --> 01:05:20,084
When you're ruined,
there's so much to do.
1018
01:05:22,048 --> 01:05:24,042
Yes, there is,
isn't there?
1019
01:05:24,048 --> 01:05:26,042
Moan, moan, moan.

Oh, yes, I wouldn't mind.

Louisa, how about you?
1024
01:05:43,074 --> 01:05:48,037
Oh, I don't think so.
I've rather gone off cards.
1025
01:05:48,044 --> 01:05:50,067
I've never been very lucky
with them.
1026
01:05:51,074 --> 01:05:53,051
Me too.
1027
01:05:57,058 --> 01:06:01,021
Mr. Weissman, tell us about
the film you're going to make.
1028
01:06:01,029 --> 01:06:04,072
Oh, sure. It's called Charlie Chan
in London. It's a detective story.
1029
01:06:04,079 --> 01:06:08,028
- Set in London?
- Well, not really.
1030
01:06:08,036 --> 01:06:11,063
Most of it takes place at
a shooting party in a country house,
1031
01:06:11,070 --> 01:06:14,013
sort of like this one,
actually.
1032

A murder in the middle of the night.
A lot of guests for the weekend.

Everyone's a suspect.
That sort of thing.
1034
01:06:21,001 --> 01:06:23,048
How horrid.
1035
01:06:23,054 --> 01:06:25,081
And who turns out
to have done it?
1036
01:06:25,088 --> 01:06:29,011
I couldn't tell you that.
It would spoil it for you.
1037
01:06:29,018 --> 01:06:32,012
- Oh, but none of us will see it.
- (GASPS, CHUCKLES)
1038
01:06:33,045 --> 01:06:35,079
Are you thinking of
making it here, Mr. Weissman?
1039
01:06:35,085 --> 01:06:40,012
Uh, no, we're going to shoot it
in Hollywood, on the back lot.
1040
01:06:40,019 --> 01:06:44,072
But since I was in England,
I thought I would do
a little research on country living...
1041
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:49,073
and Ivor was kind enough
to arrange it for me.
1042
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:52,043
Mmm, no.
William arranged it for you.
1043
01:06:52,050 --> 01:06:56,024
- WEISSMAN:
Are you interested in films, sir?
- (SCOFFS) Not likely.
1044
01:06:56,031 --> 01:06:59,014
Why shouldn't I
be interested in films?
1045
01:06:59,021 --> 01:07:01,011
You don't know
what I'm interested in.
1046
01:07:01,018 --> 01:07:04,051
Well, I know you're interested in money
and fiddling with your guns,
1047
01:07:04,058 --> 01:07:06,052
but when it comes to anything else,
I'm stumped.
1048
01:07:06,059 --> 01:07:08,052
That is not fair.
Bill is--

01:08:01,087 --> 01:08:03,081
Elsie, what's--
1052
01:08:07,005 --> 01:08:09,048
It's not as if
I didn't know.
1053
01:08:09,055 --> 01:08:12,075
- (CHUCKLING)
- So we can all play bridge.
1054
01:08:12,082 --> 01:08:17,076
- All playing?
- Who's going to play bridge?
Are they going to play?
1055
01:08:17,082 --> 01:08:19,092
Where's Rupert?
1056
01:08:19,099 --> 01:08:22,015
- Rupert!
- STANDISH: Coming.

- You didn't actually see?
1059
01:08:33,034 --> 01:08:35,077
So what's going to
happen to Elsie?
1060
01:08:35,084 --> 01:08:39,094
- She'll be lucky if they don't
boot her out before morning.
- You should've seen it.

Please, Mr. Meredith.
There are ladies present.
1064
01:08:49,025 --> 01:08:51,028
Where, exactly,
is Sir William now?
1065
01:08:51,036 --> 01:08:53,085
He's still in the library.
He won't be out again tonight.

may I ask what is going on?
- Uh, we were just--
1068
01:09:01,017 --> 01:09:04,053
George, will you please join me in
the drawing room as soon as possible.
1069

- Mr. Probert, kindly
take everybody back downstairs.
- Certainly.

Dorothy, I'm especially
surprised at you.

01:09:09,051 --> 01:09:12,024
PROBERT:
Come along, ladies. Come along.
1072
01:09:14,078 --> 01:09:18,031
Is it true, then?
Has Elsie really been sacked?
1073
01:09:20,089 --> 01:09:23,015
- Lady Trentham.
- Well, luck of the draw.

- Darling, we've just cut.

- SYLVIA: Ivor, darling.
- Thank you.

Would it be awful of me
to ask you to play something...
1077
01:09:31,083 --> 01:09:33,077
to cheer us all up a bit?

No, because the valet
has access to everybody.

01:30:43,007 --> 01:30:46,087
all those jemmies and torches
and skeleton keys--
1457
01:30:46,094 --> 01:30:49,087
it's a miracle anyone
ever gets burgled at all.
1458
01:30:49,094 --> 01:30:51,088
Oh, it's glacial in here.
1459
01:30:51,094 --> 01:30:53,088
Get my fur, will you?
1460
01:30:53,094 --> 01:30:55,088
(SIGHS)
1461
01:30:55,095 --> 01:30:58,011
Anyway, it wasn't in
the silver pantry.
1462
01:30:58,018 --> 01:31:00,067
It's been missing
since yesterday.
1463
01:31:00,075 --> 01:31:02,069
Obviously
William had it.
1464
01:31:02,075 --> 01:31:05,019
And when the fellow surprised him
there it was,
1465
01:31:05,026 --> 01:31:08,069
on the table
as handy as you like.
1466
01:31:08,076 --> 01:31:12,086
Are any of the others getting up
for breakfast? The women, I mean.
1467
01:31:12,093 --> 01:31:15,037
I think Lady Lavinia
may be.
1468
01:31:15,043 --> 01:31:19,087
That settles it. Come back
at half past 8:00. I'll get dressed.
1469
01:31:19,094 --> 01:31:22,037
It's the greatest bore,
of course,
1470
01:31:22,044 --> 01:31:24,087
but I don't want
to miss anything.
1471
01:31:24,094 --> 01:31:26,088
(SIGHS)
1472
01:31:28,018 --> 01:31:30,011
When I came back
last night,
1473
01:31:31,035 --> 01:31:33,078
I found this
on my dressing table.
1474
01:31:33,085 --> 01:31:35,079
What is it?
1475
01:31:38,079 --> 01:31:41,005
This is your final warning.
1476
01:31:41,012 --> 01:31:43,022
If I've not
received an offer--"
1477
01:31:44,056 --> 01:31:47,000
Freddie.
What a stupid idiot.
1478
01:31:47,006 --> 01:31:50,033
Well, at least he's off your back now.
There's no one to tell.
1479
01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:53,013
At least no one's who's gonna
give him a job to shut him up.
1480
01:31:53,020 --> 01:31:55,057
(DOOR CLOSES)
1481
01:31:55,064 --> 01:32:00,041
(LAUGHS) Oh, now,
he's quite the bonny lad, isn't he?
1482
01:32:00,048 --> 01:32:02,064
What's he up to these days,
this one, eh?
1483
01:32:02,071 --> 01:32:05,015
He's dead.
1484
01:32:05,022 --> 01:32:07,065
I don't know
what I can tell you.
1485
01:32:07,072 --> 01:32:10,065
Shouldn't you be looking
for signs of a break-in?
1486
01:32:10,072 --> 01:32:15,082
Mrs. Croft, I understand
no one has served Sir William
longer than you have. Is that true?
1487
01:32:15,089 --> 01:32:17,083
I'd better be off.
1488
01:32:17,090 --> 01:32:19,083
Might not see you again.
1489
01:32:21,010 --> 01:32:24,003
I'm only staying till
the police give the nod.
1490
01:32:24,010 --> 01:32:26,004
But, Elsie,
1491
01:32:27,084 --> 01:32:31,028
you're not in any difficulty,
are you?
1492
01:32:31,034 --> 01:32:34,028
What, apart from having
no home and no job?
1493
01:32:34,034 --> 01:32:36,034
Nah.
There's no worries there.
1494
01:32:37,041 --> 01:32:39,035
Yes, I was forgetting.
1495
01:32:39,042 --> 01:32:41,035
You were much cleverer
than I was.
1496
01:32:41,042 --> 01:32:43,035
You'll be fine.
1497
01:32:47,022 --> 01:32:50,016
I wonder what Lady Sylvia
will do now.
1498
01:32:50,023 --> 01:32:53,066
If I were her, I'd set up
in London as a glamorous widow...
1499
01:32:53,073 --> 01:32:56,053
with all the gentlemen
chasin' me for my money.
1500
01:32:56,060 --> 01:32:59,009
I wouldn't.
I grew up in London.
1501
01:32:59,017 --> 01:33:02,030
- Is that where the orphanage was?
- On the edge. Isleworth.
1502
01:33:02,037 --> 01:33:06,007
- And you don't get homesick?
- I don't think you get homesick
if you've never had a home.
1503
01:33:06,014 --> 01:33:09,041
You heard about Mr. Weissman's valet?
Turns out he's a fraud.
1504
01:33:09,048 --> 01:33:11,088
- He isn't Scottish at all.
- No!
1505
01:33:11,095 --> 01:33:13,088
I could've told you that.
1506
01:33:13,095 --> 01:33:15,089
Who is he, then?
1507
01:33:15,095 --> 01:33:17,089
Do you think
he's the murderer?
1508
01:33:17,096 --> 01:33:20,039
It's worse than that.
He's an actor.
1509
01:33:22,006 --> 01:33:24,049
WEISSMAN:
Yes, I want you to wake him up.
1510
01:33:24,056 --> 01:33:27,000
How else do you suggest
I talk to him?
1511
01:33:27,006 --> 01:33:29,050
Yes. Right.
Well, what'd he say?
1512
01:33:29,057 --> 01:33:32,000
What, he's talking about
Clara Bow again?
1513
01:33:32,007 --> 01:33:35,051
Listen, you tell Sheehan I think
Clara Bow is a really nice person,
1514
01:33:35,057 --> 01:33:38,051
and she's not coming within
ten miles of my picture.
1515
01:33:38,058 --> 01:33:41,007
I don't want her
in the fucking movie.
1516
01:33:41,014 --> 01:33:45,008
There is one thing. The bastard's
death may have saved my bacon.
1517
01:33:45,015 --> 01:33:48,059
For God's sake, be quiet.
What's the matter with you?
1518
01:33:51,042 --> 01:33:53,036
JENNINGS:
Arthur.
1519
01:33:54,052 --> 01:33:56,062
- Oh, are these tomatoes?
- Yes, milady.
1520
01:33:56,069 --> 01:33:58,063
That's exactly
what I want.
1521
01:34:00,010 --> 01:34:02,053
- Good morning.
- Good morning, dear.
1522
01:34:02,060 --> 01:34:04,053
(GASPS)
Have you heard?
1523
01:34:04,060 --> 01:34:08,080
It's too tiresome. That frightful
inspector won't let anyone leave.
1524
01:34:08,087 --> 01:34:13,081
So we're to be treated
to another day of Mr. Weissman
shouting down the telephone.
1525
01:34:13,088 --> 01:34:17,071
He has some problems with his work
in Los Angeles, I'm afraid.
1526
01:34:17,078 --> 01:34:21,024
Well, I must say,
he conducts his affairs very oddly.
1527
01:34:21,032 --> 01:34:24,072
Coming downstairs just now,
I thought I'd been transported
to a bar in Marseilles.
1528
01:34:24,079 --> 01:34:26,072
WEISSMAN:
Jennings? Excuse me. I'm sorry.
1529
01:34:26,079 --> 01:34:29,073
I'm expecting
a really important telephone call.
1530
01:34:29,079 --> 01:34:32,073
- Will you get me
the second it comes through?
- Very good, sir.
1531
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:35,082
And I'd like, uh, oh,
tomato and eggs. Thank you.
1532
01:34:35,090 --> 01:34:38,016
JENNINGS:
Of course, sir, but...
1533
01:34:38,024 --> 01:34:41,067
perhaps you would prefer to
choose for yourself, sir?
1534
01:34:41,074 --> 01:34:44,097
What do you mean,
like cafeteria style?
1535
01:34:45,004 --> 01:34:48,041
The Englishman is never
waited on at breakfast.
1536
01:34:48,048 --> 01:34:50,041
Really?
Well, that's interesting.
1537
01:34:50,048 --> 01:34:52,045
Because an American is.
Wow.
1538
01:34:52,052 --> 01:34:54,045
I'm going to
make a note of that.
1539
01:34:57,082 --> 01:34:59,076
Good morning.
1540
01:34:59,082 --> 01:35:01,076
Good morning.
1541
01:35:06,060 --> 01:35:09,053
I'd like some coffee,
Jennings.
1542
01:35:09,060 --> 01:35:11,069
There it is.
1543
01:35:11,077 --> 01:35:14,064
- WEISSMAN:
You haven't made a lot of friends.
- Ah.
1544
01:35:14,071 --> 01:35:18,077
Good. Good morning, ladies, gents.
(CLEARS THROAT)
1545
01:35:18,084 --> 01:35:21,051
Um, I wonder--
Excuse me.
1546
01:35:21,058 --> 01:35:25,007
Uh, will Lady Sylvia
be coming down soon?
1547
01:35:25,015 --> 01:35:28,008
I shouldn't think so.
She has breakfast in her room.
1548
01:35:28,015 --> 01:35:30,068
Then she usually goes
for a ride.
1549
01:35:30,075 --> 01:35:33,069
Yes, but she won't be doing that
this morning, will she?
1550
01:35:35,023 --> 01:35:37,016
Well, I see.
1551
01:35:38,060 --> 01:35:42,062
Well, in that case,
I wonder, Lady Trentham,
1552
01:35:42,070 --> 01:35:46,080
if you would be kind enough
to join us for some questions.
1553
01:35:46,087 --> 01:35:48,081
If you wish, Inspector.
1554
01:35:48,087 --> 01:35:51,081
I'm afraid I won't be
much help,
1555
01:35:51,088 --> 01:35:55,024
but I suppose on a day like this
we all have to pull our weight.
1556
01:35:55,031 --> 01:35:57,075
ELLEN: Mr. Denton made
a right chump out of Mr. Jennings.
1557
01:35:57,081 --> 01:36:00,025
BERTHA:
Never mind that.
1558
01:36:00,032 --> 01:36:04,002
hear about Sir William?
Apparently he wasn't stabbed after all.
1559
01:36:04,009 --> 01:36:07,002
Well, I mean, he was,
but that's not why he died.
1560
01:36:07,009 --> 01:36:09,003
He was poisoned.
1561
01:36:09,009 --> 01:36:11,003
That's what killed him.
1562
01:36:11,009 --> 01:36:13,003
The inspector
told Mrs. Croft.
1563
01:36:13,010 --> 01:36:17,016
They don't know why the killer
stabbed him as well,
but he must've been dead already.
1564
01:36:17,023 --> 01:36:19,067
That's why
there was no blood.
1565
01:36:19,074 --> 01:36:21,083
Dead bodies don't bleed,
you know.
1566
01:36:21,091 --> 01:36:24,084
Trust Sir William
to be murdered twice.
1567
01:36:24,091 --> 01:36:27,004
(BERTHA LAUGHING)
1568
01:36:27,011 --> 01:36:29,005
Of course
he wasn't murdered.
1569
01:36:29,011 --> 01:36:31,055
Not that sort of murder.
1570
01:36:31,062 --> 01:36:33,074
Some ruffian broke in...
1571
01:36:33,082 --> 01:36:36,025
thinking the library
was empty.
1572
01:36:36,032 --> 01:36:39,088
Sir William surprised him
and paid the price for it.
1573
01:36:39,096 --> 01:36:41,089
And very tragic it is too.
1574
01:36:41,096 --> 01:36:43,089
I can't see that,
Mr. Jennings.
1575
01:36:43,096 --> 01:36:47,073
I don't think ruffians
go about poisoning people
and then stabbing the corpses.
1576
01:36:47,080 --> 01:36:49,056
Apart from
anything else,
1577
01:36:49,063 --> 01:36:52,007
they're usually in a hurry
to get away, aren't they?
1578
01:36:52,014 --> 01:36:53,090
What are you suggesting?
1579
01:36:53,097 --> 01:36:56,070
- I'm not suggesting anything.
It's just--
- Just what?
1580
01:36:56,077 --> 01:37:01,027
Well, it looks to me like Sir William
was killed deliberately, that's all.
1581
01:37:01,034 --> 01:37:04,028
No wonder they're not
letting any of us go.
1582
01:37:04,035 --> 01:37:07,028
Tough luck on whoever's
got any secrets to hide.
1583
01:37:10,069 --> 01:37:12,062
Now they've cancelled
the shooting,
1584
01:37:12,069 --> 01:37:16,013
muggins here has got to pull a luncheon
for God knows how many out of the hat.
1585
01:37:16,019 --> 01:37:18,013
- Is Her Ladyship back yet?
- No.
1586
01:37:18,020 --> 01:37:20,079
Then she'll have to take
what she gets.
1587
01:37:20,086 --> 01:37:22,080
ETHEL: Why would anyone
want to kill Sir William?
1588
01:37:22,087 --> 01:37:25,067
Well, he wasn't exactly
Father Christmas.
1589
01:37:25,074 --> 01:37:27,067
Get on with your work.
1590
01:37:27,074 --> 01:37:30,017
And take that filthy dog
out of here.
1591
01:37:31,037 --> 01:37:34,007
He made a few enemies
in his time, that's all.
1592
01:37:34,014 --> 01:37:36,008
What do you mean, enemies?
When?
1593
01:37:36,015 --> 01:37:40,014
Is this before the war, Mrs. Croft,
when you were a factory worker?
1594
01:37:40,022 --> 01:37:43,065
I was not a factory worker.
I was never a factory worker.
1595
01:37:43,072 --> 01:37:46,016
I was a cook
in one of his factories.
1596
01:37:46,022 --> 01:37:49,066
He had two in Isleworth and two
in Twickenham, and all full of girls.
1597
01:37:49,073 --> 01:37:51,066
So you can imagine.
1598
01:37:51,073 --> 01:37:54,036
Wasn't that risky with factory girls?
Suppose they complained?
1599
01:37:54,043 --> 01:37:56,037
Who to, exactly?
1600
01:37:56,043 --> 01:37:58,066
But what if they got,
you know, in trouble?
1601
01:37:58,074 --> 01:38:03,004
- What sort of trouble?
- Here, take these.
Whites only, all right?
1602
01:38:03,011 --> 01:38:05,004
Didn't happen
very often.
1603
01:38:05,011 --> 01:38:08,051
When it did, he arranged
to have it adopted.
1604
01:38:08,058 --> 01:38:11,014
But what if you didn't
want it adopted?
1605
01:38:11,021 --> 01:38:14,065
- Say you wanted to keep it.
- Then you got kicked out,
lost your job.
1606
01:38:14,072 --> 01:38:19,018
You can take my word for it,
he was a hard-hearted, randy old sod.
1607
01:38:20,026 --> 01:38:23,056
Ah, come in, Miss Maceach--
1608
01:38:23,063 --> 01:38:26,093
- I'm Inspector Thom--
- CONSTANCE:
This is all too tiresome and absurd.
1609
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:28,093
He's making
the most dreadful fuss.
1610
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,016
If you don't mind, I would like
to ask the young lady some questions.
1611
01:38:32,024 --> 01:38:35,076
Well, I'm not leaving,
if that's what you think.
1612
01:38:35,084 --> 01:38:38,078
Well, does it bother you
if Lady Trentham stays?
1613
01:38:38,084 --> 01:38:40,087
Why should it?
1614
01:38:40,094 --> 01:38:44,035
- Sir, someone's traipsed
a load of mud in down here.
- Not now, Dexter, please.
1615
01:38:45,042 --> 01:38:47,015
I understood
there was some...
1616
01:38:47,022 --> 01:38:50,048
difficulty between the late
Sir William McCordle and your employer.
1617
01:38:50,055 --> 01:38:52,099
This is too vulgar
to be believed.
1618
01:38:53,006 --> 01:38:56,055
I wasn't aware of that, sir.
They got on well as far as I could see.
1619
01:38:56,063 --> 01:39:00,019
- You were not conscious--
- Inspector, there's
a broken coffee cup down here.
1620
01:39:00,026 --> 01:39:03,086
Dexter, they have people to clear these
things up. You get on with your own job.
1621
01:39:03,093 --> 01:39:06,067
So you were not aware
of any trouble...
1622
01:39:06,074 --> 01:39:09,026
over the matter
of an allowance?
1623
01:39:09,034 --> 01:39:13,083
An allowance, I might add, that
Sir William's death has now made secure.
1624
01:39:15,075 --> 01:39:18,068
What sort of an allowance
would that be, sir?
1625
01:39:26,049 --> 01:39:29,043
Ah, there you are.
(CHUCKLES)
1626
01:39:29,049 --> 01:39:31,083
Have you got
enough light?
1627
01:39:31,090 --> 01:39:35,083
Black on black? We don't want you
going blind on top of everything else.
1628
01:39:35,090 --> 01:39:37,083
They've got to be done,
Mr. Jennings,
1629
01:39:37,090 --> 01:39:41,034
but the outside staff
need them for the funeral.
1630
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:46,004
I'm sorry that this business with Elsie
has landed you with so much work.
1631
01:39:46,011 --> 01:39:49,005
That's what comes
of being so reliable.
1632
01:39:49,011 --> 01:39:51,005
- Never mind me.
- Hmm.
1633
01:39:51,011 --> 01:39:55,071
Mr. Jennings, have you--
have you spoken to the police again?
1634
01:39:57,002 --> 01:39:59,008
Not yet, no.
1635
01:39:59,016 --> 01:40:03,059
I suppose they have to ask
their questions, don't they have to?
1636
01:40:03,066 --> 01:40:05,060
Well, yes.
1637
01:40:05,066 --> 01:40:09,006
Will they be talking
to all of us?
1638
01:40:11,013 --> 01:40:13,007
I shouldn't think so, no.
1639
01:40:13,014 --> 01:40:15,033
Well, I'll leave you
to it, then.
1640
01:40:15,041 --> 01:40:18,017
Mr. Jennings.
1641
01:40:18,024 --> 01:40:22,068
You know--You know
I'd say anything you want me to.
1642
01:40:24,085 --> 01:40:26,082
- What?
- Anything at all.
1643
01:40:26,088 --> 01:40:30,051
I don't care what I tell them, if it'll
help you. Y-Y-You know that, don't you?
1644
01:40:30,059 --> 01:40:32,052
You've only to ask.
1645
01:40:39,016 --> 01:40:41,010
(CLEARS THROAT)
1646
01:40:49,041 --> 01:40:52,034
So, let me, uh, let me pour you
a cup of tea, eh?
1647
01:40:52,041 --> 01:40:56,028
Yes, thank you. Would you mind
putting the milk in afterwards?
1648
01:40:57,041 --> 01:40:59,035
Of course.
Of course.
1649
01:40:59,042 --> 01:41:02,044
Don't know what came over me.
I usually put the milk in after,
but on that occasion--
1650
01:41:02,052 --> 01:41:04,095
- Sir.
- Not now, thank you.
1651
01:41:05,002 --> 01:41:06,096
So sorry.
1652
01:41:07,002 --> 01:41:11,012
Mrs. Inspector Thompson
prefers the milk in first,
so I get used to pouring it for her.
1653
01:41:11,019 --> 01:41:14,063
I don't know why. Some nonsense about
bacteria. You know what women are like--
1654
01:41:14,070 --> 01:41:17,013
Well, what wives are like.
(CHUCKLES)
1655
01:41:17,020 --> 01:41:19,023
No, she's a funny old--
Sugar?
1656
01:41:19,030 --> 01:41:21,003
No, thank you.
1657
01:41:21,010 --> 01:41:23,004
Of course they'll give her
a good reference.
1658
01:41:23,011 --> 01:41:26,004
Otherwise they'd have to explain
why they're giving her a bad one.
1659
01:41:27,088 --> 01:41:30,004
- Mr. Parks.
- Robert.
1660
01:41:31,015 --> 01:41:33,008
Robert, then.
1661
01:41:33,015 --> 01:41:35,008
It's just...
1662
01:41:35,015 --> 01:41:38,059
last night when you said
you'd surprise me,
1663
01:41:38,066 --> 01:41:41,092
you didn't mean anything by it,
did you?
1664
01:41:41,099 --> 01:41:44,043
Why?
Don't you like surprises?
1665
01:41:44,049 --> 01:41:46,066
JENNINGS:
Where shall we begin? Yes, now--
1666
01:41:46,073 --> 01:41:48,066
Oh, Mr. Stockbridge.
1667
01:41:48,073 --> 01:41:51,067
By now I assume
you are all aware...
1668
01:41:51,073 --> 01:41:55,017
that, uh, Mr. Denton has
been playing a trick on us...
1669
01:41:55,024 --> 01:41:57,067
by posing as a valet.
1670
01:41:57,074 --> 01:42:00,068
Since Sir William
was aware of the plan,
1671
01:42:00,074 --> 01:42:04,034
it is not for me
or anyone else to criticize it.
1672
01:42:04,041 --> 01:42:07,021
However, it does leave us with some
adjustments to make for this evening.
1673
01:42:07,028 --> 01:42:11,072
Um, Arthur, you will take over
dressing Mr. Weissman.
1674
01:42:11,079 --> 01:42:16,012
That leaves us the problem
of Mr. Novello, and I really
don't want to ask you, Mr. Probert.
1675
01:42:16,019 --> 01:42:19,025
- I don't mind, Mr. Jennings.
- Oh, no, no.
You've got enough on your plate.
1676
01:42:19,033 --> 01:42:21,026
I'll do him,
if you like.
1677
01:42:21,033 --> 01:42:24,027
Oh, that's very generous,
Mr. Stockbridge.
1678
01:42:24,033 --> 01:42:27,077
I suppose I could always
do it myself, of course.
1679
01:42:27,084 --> 01:42:30,020
It's no trouble.
It's only for a night or two.
1680
01:42:30,027 --> 01:42:32,014
Good. Splendid.
That's settled, then.
1681
01:42:32,021 --> 01:42:37,037
And I think we can leave Mr. Denton
to dress himself. (LAUGHS)
1682
01:42:37,045 --> 01:42:41,071
"The bastard's death
may have saved my bacon."
1683
01:42:41,078 --> 01:42:45,092
- What do you think he meant by that?
- Isn't it obvious?
1684
01:42:45,099 --> 01:42:47,092
Is it?
1685
01:42:47,099 --> 01:42:50,093
Well, perhaps he meant
that the investment
that Sir William had agreed...
1686
01:42:50,099 --> 01:42:53,079
would probably have to
be paid now-- Sir.
1687
01:42:53,086 --> 01:42:57,063
What about that low shot that nearly
killed him that morning they were out?
1688
01:42:57,070 --> 01:42:59,064
- Sir.
- What is it?
1689
01:42:59,070 --> 01:43:02,064
We haven't dusted those things
for fingerprints yet.
1690
01:43:02,071 --> 01:43:04,067
Good.
1691
01:43:04,074 --> 01:43:07,068
Do you think that shot might have
been intended for Sir William?
1692
01:43:07,074 --> 01:43:10,044
- Well, it nearly took his ear off.
- Hmm.
1693
01:43:10,051 --> 01:43:13,095
Mm-hmm. Well, thank you, Mr. Barnes.
You've been most helpful.
1694
01:43:14,002 --> 01:43:17,045
Perhaps you'd be good enough to ask
Commander Meredith to join us just now.
1695
01:43:17,052 --> 01:43:22,015
You-You won't tell him what I said,
will you, Inspector Thomas?
1696
01:43:22,023 --> 01:43:24,022
Thompson.
It's Inspector Thom--
1697
01:43:24,029 --> 01:43:27,023
Never mind.
Just go and fetch him up, please.
1698
01:43:28,033 --> 01:43:30,027
(CLEARS THROAT)
1699
01:43:30,033 --> 01:43:32,027
- Sir.

(BELL RINGING)
1701
01:43:36,034 --> 01:43:40,078
- We've only got this.
- I don't think mine's bothered.
She hasn't got any black here.
1702
01:43:40,084 --> 01:43:42,094
We've got
some new ones.
1703
01:43:43,001 --> 01:43:44,095
ARTHUR:
You're a lech. You know that?
1704
01:43:45,001 --> 01:43:47,045
- George?
- They're coming in a minute.
1705
01:43:47,052 --> 01:43:49,045
The dressing bell's
just gone.
1706
01:43:49,052 --> 01:43:52,046
I'm going out of my mind.
I've read all my magazines twice.
1707
01:43:52,052 --> 01:43:55,046
You couldn't pinch something
out of the library for me?
1708
01:43:55,053 --> 01:43:59,002
I don't care if it's Horse and Hound,
as long as I haven't read it.
1709
01:44:02,010 --> 01:44:04,003
Well, we are honored.
1710
01:44:04,010 --> 01:44:07,004
In case you've forgotten,
this is the servants area, sir.
1711
01:44:07,010 --> 01:44:10,054
Yours is at the top of the stairs
behind that door, sir.
1712
01:44:10,061 --> 01:44:12,054
Barnes, it was just a--
(SIGHS)
1713
01:44:12,061 --> 01:44:15,055
- I wanted to explain.
- No explanation necessary, Mr. Denton.
1714
01:44:15,061 --> 01:44:19,055
If you'll excuse us, some of us have
got real work to do. Come on, Arthur.
1715
01:44:19,062 --> 01:44:22,055
The accent was a dead giveaway,
you know. We all knew.
1716
01:44:22,062 --> 01:44:24,055
Robert,
I was just having fun.
1717
01:44:24,062 --> 01:44:28,002
Well, then perhaps you'd better enjoy
your fun in the drawing room, sir.
1718
01:44:29,036 --> 01:44:32,030
They're afraid you'll repeat things,
be indiscreet.
1719
01:44:32,036 --> 01:44:34,030
But I'm very discreet.
1720
01:44:34,036 --> 01:44:38,030
In Hollywood, that's what
I'm known for-- my discretion.
1721
01:44:41,034 --> 01:44:44,027
ISOBEL: Tell Rupert like.
He won't give you any money.
1722
01:44:44,034 --> 01:44:46,028
NESBITT: No, you're
completely misunderstanding me.
1723
01:44:46,034 --> 01:44:49,028
And Mummy wouldn't pay
five pounds to save me--
1724
01:44:49,035 --> 01:44:53,011
Oh, my poor darling.
Come here. Come on.
1725
01:44:53,018 --> 01:44:58,031
Look, please don't think that I'm
enjoying this. All I wanted was a job.
1726
01:44:58,039 --> 01:45:00,032
My checkbook's
downstairs.
1727
01:45:00,039 --> 01:45:02,083
I'll give you a check
after dinner.
1728
01:45:07,093 --> 01:45:10,087
I'm trying to find my man Parks.
Have you seen him?
1729
01:45:10,093 --> 01:45:12,087
Uh, no.
I've been with the police.
1730
01:45:12,094 --> 01:45:15,087
You look as if
you've had rather a pasting.
1731
01:45:15,094 --> 01:45:18,087
They kept on and on
about that low shot yesterday.
1732
01:45:18,094 --> 01:45:20,088
They wouldn't let it go.
1733
01:45:20,094 --> 01:45:23,088
- I told them it was
nothing to do with me.
- I'm sure you did.
1734
01:45:23,095 --> 01:45:28,038
- But another time, Anthony,
try to be less greedy. Parks!
- What?
1735
01:45:28,045 --> 01:45:31,039
Attend to Mr. Novello first.
I want a word with Her Ladyship.
1736
01:45:31,045 --> 01:45:33,039
Very well, milord.
1737
01:45:33,046 --> 01:45:35,089
- What?
- I saw you.
1738
01:45:35,096 --> 01:45:38,022
Of course
it was an accident.
1739
01:45:38,029 --> 01:45:42,089
When a man is as short as you,
it must be very difficult
to gauge the height of the birds.
1740
01:45:48,047 --> 01:45:50,041
- JENNINGS: Mr. Meredith.
- Hmm?
1741
01:45:50,047 --> 01:45:52,091
You haven't seen Commander Meredith
anywhere, have you?
1742
01:45:52,098 --> 01:45:55,091
- No.
- He never came downstairs
and he's not in his room.
1743
01:45:55,098 --> 01:45:58,041
Mr. Jennings,
I've washed him and dressed him.
1744
01:45:58,048 --> 01:46:01,051
If he can't find his way to
the drawing room, it isn't my fault.
1745
01:46:01,058 --> 01:46:04,052
MAN: If you’ve finished with that,
go and see Mrs. Croft.
1746
01:46:08,079 --> 01:46:10,073
(GASPS)
1747
01:46:10,079 --> 01:46:14,013
Oh, I-I'm so sorry, sir.
I didn't mean to disturb you.
1748
01:46:14,020 --> 01:46:18,029
No, no, no, please.
I'm just trying some of your jam.
1749
01:46:19,054 --> 01:46:21,047
I must be in your way.
1750
01:46:21,054 --> 01:46:24,084
No, no. No, no.
No bother.
1751
01:46:24,091 --> 01:46:26,084
What one is that, sir?
1752
01:46:27,091 --> 01:46:29,085
Um, it's raspberry.
1753
01:46:29,091 --> 01:46:31,085
October 31.
1754
01:46:31,091 --> 01:46:34,035
You might like to try
the, um...
1755
01:46:35,042 --> 01:46:37,035
strawberry one.
1756
01:46:37,042 --> 01:46:39,036
Oh, is that strawberry?
1757
01:46:39,042 --> 01:46:41,036
Let's see.
Ah, yes.
1758
01:46:41,042 --> 01:46:43,048
Mmm.
1759
01:46:43,056 --> 01:46:45,099
You all right, sir?
1760
01:46:46,006 --> 01:46:49,056
Just been with
the inspector and...
1761
01:46:49,063 --> 01:46:51,057
I feel
a little bruised.
1762
01:46:55,010 --> 01:46:57,004
Mmm.
1763
01:47:03,055 --> 01:47:08,064
Why is it, would you say,
that some people seem to get
whatever they want in life?
1764
01:47:10,009 --> 01:47:12,052
Everything they touch
turns to gold.
1765
01:47:14,022 --> 01:47:17,082
Whereas others
can strive and strive...
1766
01:47:17,089 --> 01:47:19,083
and have nothing.
1767
01:47:21,073 --> 01:47:24,017
I wonder,
do you believe in luck?
1768
01:47:25,070 --> 01:47:30,011
Do you think some men
are lucky and...
1769
01:47:30,017 --> 01:47:32,037
some men just aren't and...
1770
01:47:32,044 --> 01:47:34,078
nothing they can do about it?
1771
01:47:34,084 --> 01:47:36,078
I believe in love.
1772
01:47:36,085 --> 01:47:39,058
Not just getting it.
Giving it.
1773
01:47:39,065 --> 01:47:43,035
I think as long as you can love
somebody, whether or not they love you,

Let's not worry about that.

to get rid of the wretched Mrs. Croft.

- Why are those two such enemies?
- I don't know.
2074
02:06:13,076 --> 02:06:17,006
Something to do with when they were both
workers in one of William's sweatshops.
2075
02:06:17,013 --> 02:06:20,007
Mrs. Croft was the senior then.
She was the cook.
2076
02:06:20,014 --> 02:06:22,090
And Mrs. Wilson
a lowly factory worker.
2077
02:06:22,097 --> 02:06:26,003
Now that she's got up in the world,
poor old Croftie can't abide it.

I can't imagine it.
- (GASPS) Nor could I.

Although, funnily enough,
I think there must have been.

Really?
You amaze me.
2082
02:06:38,062 --> 02:06:40,056
She might have
changed her name,
2083
02:06:40,062 --> 02:06:44,079
but when she was working
with William she was called
something quite different--
2084
02:06:44,086 --> 02:06:49,032
Parks or Parker or Parkinson
or something like that.

- No, no, I was just

2087

If I'd have left it

How did you know
it was him?
2091

Was it the name, or did you
see the photograph in his room?

It's a miracle
that survived.
2094
02:07:34,051 --> 02:07:37,045
I remember his mother
putting it into his blanket.
2095
02:07:37,051 --> 02:07:40,045
I suppose she wanted him
to have something of hers.
2096
02:07:40,052 --> 02:07:42,071
Does he know
what happened to her?
2097
02:07:42,078 --> 02:07:47,031
They said she died
just after he was born.
2098
02:07:47,039 --> 02:07:49,082
Well, she didn't die.
She gave him away.
2099
02:07:53,040 --> 02:07:56,083
He promised the boy would be adopted.
He said he knew the family.
2100
02:07:56,090 --> 02:07:59,083
Turns out we all
clung to that dream,
2101
02:07:59,090 --> 02:08:01,084
all us girls.
2102
02:08:01,090 --> 02:08:05,007
A better start in life
for our children.
2103
02:08:05,014 --> 02:08:08,041
And all the time he was dumping them,
his own children,
2104
02:08:08,048 --> 02:08:10,057
in some godforsaken place.
2105
02:08:11,071 --> 02:08:13,065
And I believed him.
2106
02:08:14,072 --> 02:08:16,065
I suppose
it was easier that way.
2107
02:08:16,072 --> 02:08:20,002
My sister certainly
never forgave me for it.
2108
02:08:20,009 --> 02:08:21,082
Your sister?
2109
02:08:21,089 --> 02:08:24,083
Yes, Mrs. Croft.
She's my sister. Didn't you know?
2110
02:08:24,089 --> 02:08:26,083
She kept hers, you see.
2111
02:08:26,090 --> 02:08:30,035
It was very hard for her. She lost
her job, and then the baby died anyway.
2112
02:08:30,043 --> 02:08:32,087
Scarlet fever.
2113
02:08:32,093 --> 02:08:37,037
I made him take her back.
She never forgave me for that either.
2114
02:08:37,044 --> 02:08:39,087
But even if
Robert is your son,
2115
02:08:39,094 --> 02:08:42,088
how did you know that
he meant to harm his father?
2116
02:08:44,095 --> 02:08:49,038
What gift do you think a good servant
has that separates them from the others?
2117
02:08:49,045 --> 02:08:52,015
It's the gift
of anticipation.
2118
02:08:52,022 --> 02:08:55,071
And I'm a good servant.
I'm better than good. I'm the best.
2119
02:08:55,079 --> 02:08:57,073
I'm the perfect servant.
2120
02:08:57,079 --> 02:09:00,023
I know when they'll be hungry
and the food is ready.
2121
02:09:00,030 --> 02:09:03,023
I know when they'll be tired
and the bed is turned down.
2122
02:09:03,030 --> 02:09:06,046
I know it before
they know it themselves.
2123
02:09:09,044 --> 02:09:11,084
Are you going to tell him?
2124
02:09:13,044 --> 02:09:16,088
Why? What purpose
would it possibly serve?
2125
02:09:21,028 --> 02:09:23,068
What if they find out
what happened?
2126
02:09:23,075 --> 02:09:27,019
Not much of a crime
to stab a dead man, is it?
2127
02:09:27,026 --> 02:09:31,075
They can never touch him.
That's what's important-- his life.
2128
02:09:32,083 --> 02:09:34,082
And your life?
2129
02:09:34,090 --> 02:09:37,083
Didn't you hear me?
I'm the perfect servant.
2130
02:09:37,090 --> 02:09:39,083
I have no life.
2131

MRS. WILSON:
Thank you, George.
2134
02:09:53,062 --> 02:09:56,005
Well, you should go now,
Miss Trentham.
2135
02:10:12,020 --> 02:10:14,047
- Here you are, Jennings.
- Well, good-bye, Sylvia.
2136
02:10:14,054 --> 02:10:16,073
- Good-bye. For you.
- Thank you.
2137
02:10:16,081 --> 02:10:20,080
Do let us know if there's anything--
anything we can do to help.

SYLVIA:
Are you going away?
2139
02:10:22,088 --> 02:10:24,081
LOUISA: No, not once
the shooting's finished.
2140
02:10:24,088 --> 02:10:26,081
Thank you for your help
last night.
2141
02:10:26,088 --> 02:10:28,082
You don't have to
thank me.
2142
02:10:28,088 --> 02:10:31,082
You know I'd kill
for Mr. Jennings if I had to.

You did what you felt
was best for him at the time.

I've lost him.
He'll never know me now.

My boy.
(SOBBING INTENSIFIES)

Oh, my boy.

Well, at least
your boy is alive.

He's alive.

to recover.

- JENNINGS: 12:35, milady.

Do you think if there's a trial
I might have to testify in court?
