It's supposed to be an aphrodisiac.

Is it? - Yeah...

Ascolti...

Casa... case.

Hi, Carl.

Hi. Mrs. sinclair called,

said she's going to be a couple of minutes late.

For her appointment.

So that should be about... 9:15,

and then at 9:45,

you've got an appointment with...

Allez, a la boeuf.

...♪ Amarilli... ♪...

Maybe i should put a pillow under your shoulders..

Yeah.

Hi, sweetheart.

Hi, Amy Lee.

What are you doing?

I have a new coloring book.

I should get more toys out there.

No, no, no,

she's usually okay to be left alone..

I'm a bit worried about the bottles.

Maybe we should take a break, huh?

Sweetheart, we can't play with those.

Because they're Ruth's, okay?

Do you wanna come sit on the table with me?

Yeah. - Yeah.

Baby...

Did you get bored out there all alone?

Is that what happened?

I have an idea. Hold on.

What happened with the coloring book?

Did you get bored with that?

Rachel?

Rachel.

Could you...?

Rachel.

What?

I don't want to have this conversation.

Through the door.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Of course. Since you're doing nothing,

i want you to do me a favor.

I'm with someone... Mrs. miller.

My Mrs. miller?

Yes.

What's she doing here?

She's a client.

She's my english teacher.

Was.

She was your english teacher.

You don't have teachers any more.

Can we not talk about this again?

Smelled like a French whorehouse when i got there..

Smells like the first day of spring now.

No, just the usual... dirty magazines, unpaid bills,

a barrelful of amphetamines. Lawyers are all the same.

Sounds like another call. Could it be long distance?

Hope he's not still calling collect.

All right, I'll see you at the cafe.

Ciao.

See you.

Yes?

Si.

How are you?

Bene. Grazie.

I miss you, too.

Si, si.

Si.

No.

Che?

Quanto? I mean quando?

What's that?

Look, Roberto, i can't hear you.

Venire... here?

Si, si. No, uh...

Roberto, no, wait...

Attenzione, atten...

Shit.

There you are.

Hi, Rachel.

Hi...

Rachel.

How're you doing?

Okay.

Your appointment's here.

Dr. Jacob?

Hi.

Hi.

Who's this?

Hi.

You don't remember me, do you?

I made a cake for your last birthday.

Remember?

Looked like a big spaceship?

Two candles, right?

Big girl.

Where's your mommy?

She's upstairs with my mother.

Come on.

Will you look at the light?

Just look at the letter 'e' behind me.

New car?

God.

Bm... German?

Mercedes.

I hate it when you do this.

The nose knows.

Your mother bought a Mercedes?

Can we drop this, please?

Are you ready?

What?

He's coming. Tonight.

Called from the plane.

Don't... don't start.

It's not like i told him to come.

I thought...

We were still on the phone stage..

He's gonna fuck you silly,

then you won't be able to make a rational decision.

About what to do with him.

I've already decided. I won't sleep with him.

I'll put him on the couch.

There will be no sex.

How do you know he's not a hustler?

I don't believe this.

The only person.

You can imagine being interested in me.

Is someone I have to pay?

I didn't say that.

There are these people.

That's what they do.

They sucker in some poor, unsuspecting woman...

That would be me, I suppose.

They bring their girlfriends over here,

get their working papers, and take a powder.

It's the oldest scam in the book.

I saw it on television.

How does he smell?

If he loves you,

you would be able to smell it.

What does love smell like, Robert?

Well, it's kinda hard to describe.

It's just... you know...

Well, did he say he loves you?

On the first date.

Does he have a return ticket?

No...

Never fall in love...

With someone who lives more than a bus ride away,

or who's under 30, or who you meet on holiday.

I know, I know.

And what else have I taught you?

Never fall in love with someone.

Who's never been in love...

Never with someone who's never been dumped,

or drinks too much...

Or doesn't drink at all... so self-righteous...

Or lies,

or cries too much.

Jack, ex-marine, was a nightmare.

Never fall in love.

With someone who's too good-looking.

That's new. Why?

Because you look like shit next to them.

I have a new one:

Never fall in love with someone.

Who won't let you go down on them.

What's that?

I don't know. Beats me.

Never fall in love with someone.

Who's lousy in bed. Period.

Never fall in love.

With someone who's too good in bed.

That's the best thing about him.

Well, it should make you very suspicious.

So where does that leave me?

Honey,

you don't even speak the same language.

Mmm, that's so good.

Sorry?

Whatever you're doing, it's really great.

How's Rachel doing?

Fine. Well...

I don't know really.

She is a really smart kid.

She'll survive whatever she's going through.

She'll survive...

But will i?

Call me if you wanna see more stuff.

I know something good.

Why do you have a key?

I've been working for them for over a year.

Careful, it hasn't hardened yet.

Where's the kitchen? - Straight through.

Hey...

What?

This is nicer than the cake you made for my birthday.

I wasn't being paid.

To make a cake for your birthday.

Is this them?

Yeah.

Very attractive.

How come you never mentioned them before?

I don't know. They're just clients.

He's pretty cute.

I've always wondered what it would be like.

To do what you do.

We should go. - Hold on.

We should go.

You're not the boss of me.

Nice.

She designs fragrances.

What about him?

He's in advertising. What about him?

He's cute.

You said that already.

You have a crush on him.

Don't you have an italian to pick up.

At the airport?

It's pretty much what we expected.

It's getting worse.

Sometimes sounds drift in and out.

Sometimes I don't hear anything.

Should I give away my opera tickets?

Richard...

Getting season's tickets.

Was one of the first things I did.

When I moved here.

Seventh row, left aisle.

I've sat in the same seat next to the same people.

Every year for eight years.

Sometimes I feel like I know them.

Better than anyone.

Hey.

Where's Amy Lee?

I don't know.

I can't find her.

I just turned around for a second and...

I thought I heard you come in.

Is something wrong?

Rachel?

Amy.

Amy Lee.

Amy.

Ruth:

No, it just happened about half an hour ago..

Her mother's in the park looking for her.

That's right.

Yes.

We'll meet you at... at the gates.

Thank you.

The police will be here in a minute.

We better go help look for her.

What on earth were you thinking?

What is the matter with you?

Cancel all of today's appointments,

and for the next two weeks.

I'll pay you for the time, but don't bother coming in.

There are things I have to do.

I was really surprised to hear from you.

Well, it's been a long time.

So...

How are things?

You know. Life in the fast Lane.

That's a nice watch.

Yeah. I just got it.

Are you all right?

Well... Actually,

a little up and down.

No, I mean...

I mean, are you all right?

Great.

If there's something you wanna tell me,

if you need to... if you want...

I just wanted to see you again.

Is that so hard to believe?

No, I just...

Look, I'm not sick.

You're safe, okay? At least from me.

Thanks for your concern.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...

So how's the cleaning business?

Excuse me.

I'm supposed to meet someone here,

and I don't know where to find them.

We can page them for you.

Where are they arriving from?

Milan.

Air italia flight 309.

That flight won't be here for another...

Three hours.

What?

Overbooked runways. It happens.

Fuck.

Sorry.

...A three year old earlier this afternoon..

A search of the area is continuing,

but the investigation is now expected to broaden.

Two witnesses have come forward...

...Saying that they saw a man dragging a young girl...

...Matching Amy Lee Miller's description...

...Out of the park around the time of the disappearance.

Hi, mom?

No, it's delayed.

Three hours.

No, I'm fine.

I sound tense because you're making me tense.

Where the hell have you been?

The police wanted to talk to you.

In case you're interested,

they did not find her.

They've been scouring the neighborhood all night.

Someone thinks they saw her being picked up by a man.

Rachel...

What happened?

I don't know.

I don't even know what to say to you.

Thanks.

So, are you seeing anybody?

I've been seeing a few people.

Quite a few, actually.

Mainly from the gym, but, um...

I find the guys I meet in the gym.

Are all really good-looking,

and the sex with them is great and everything,

but...

I keep thinking about you because...

Well...

I like the fact that our relationship.

Really wasn't about sex at all.

You know what I mean?

Well...

I thought the sex was pretty good, actually.

Really?

Or... not.

What's that...

Cologne you're wearing?

Do you like it?

Sure. It's just...

You know, the thing about cologne is.

You can't tell what a person.

Really smells like.

Well...

It sweats right off.

Amore, ciao.

E simpatica.

Huh.

I just told Roberto I must go now,

...but it was very nice to meet you.

Take care.

Ciao, bello.

Amore...

I...

...Ran out to the park thinking, you know,

that she...

...That she would just be there...

She wants to talk to you now.

It's my fault.

I left her alone. I didn't...

It wasn't for very long, but I left her alone.

Whatever happened to her is my fault.

Doesn't really matter whose fault it is right now.

We just have to try and find her.

Hey...

She's right, you know.

About what?

It doesn't matter whose fault it was.

I don't blame you.

If anything happens to that little girl,

you will.

I know how you feel.

No, you don't.

You think I'm a freak.

I can tell when you look at me.

I'm gonna go.

To Anna miller's house this afternoon.

I think you should come with me.

I can't. I'm working with the old people.

I think you should come with me.

What makes you think.

That she would want to see me?

One day after the disappearance...

...Of Amy Lee Miller, there are still no clues...

...As to her whereabouts.

Anna Miller spent the morning with the police...

...On efforts to coordinate a citywide search.

The mother of the three year old,

speaking at a press conference earlier this morning,

asked the public to come forward...

...With any information.

Amore...

Si.

...Okay?

No, no. Not now.

Amore... Si.

It's good.

Buono, eh?

You're not just milking me.

To stay in the country, are you?

'Cause if you are, that would be really shitty.

I have to work. Laboro.

Laboro, laboro. Siempre laboro.

They don't have to ta...

...Sapore non importante.

They just have to look good.

No.

Sapore molto importante.

Non e una scultura.

E un dolce, dessert.

Excuse me?

Are you all right?

Dr. Jacob?

I'm sorry.

She sings beautifully, doesn't she?

Yeah.

I've never seen her. Have you?

No, I haven't.

I wanted to ask you something.

Yes?

It's about Rachel.

Do you think.

That there's something wrong with her?

I don't mean physically. I...

You're a doctor. I thought maybe...

I mean, I know you're not that kind of doctor.

I just...

I'm sorry.

I'm sure she'll be fine.

'As soon as I heard the rumble.

Of the first tram car,

I could tell whether it was heavy with rain.

Or setting forth into the blue.

Having prepared my eyes behind those shut lids.

To be dazzled,

I would awake finally.

Amid deafening strains of music.

It was in fact principally from my bedroom.

That I took in the life of the outer world.

During this period.'

Rachel...

Yes?

You all right, Rachel?

Come here.

...Besser?

Ja...

...Besser.

Hi. Come on in.

Hi.

Thanks for giving up your Saturday.

No problem.

We like having parties,

but we forget sometimes how much work it is.

What's this party for again?

Very funny.

It's my birthday.

I know. I saw the cake.

Yeah.

Why don't you come tonight?

That's nice, but I can't.

I've got plans.

That's too bad.

Don't worry, I'll still be here tomorrow to clean up.

Is that a problem?

No, I'd love to.

I mean... it's fine.

Well, I've got to go.

See you later.

So funny...

What?

Raymond.

He has a crush on you.

Can't you tell?

What? No.

Really?

Yeah.

It's so obvious.

What?

Really? How?

Well, not sexually, necessarily.

No, no. Of course not.

I wasn't thinking that.

Well, it makes sense.

You're nice,

you're funny...

He doesn't have a lot of men friends.

Well, I wouldn't call that a crush, really.

You know...

You have about 30 cleansers here.

That you don't need. You only need five.

Window spray, a dishwashing detergent,

cream cleanser,

a combined surface, floor and tile cleaner,

and a disinfectant.

Well, you know...

The bottles are nice.

Thanks.

Rona?

Rona?

Rona?

Thanks for the car.

How's it driving?

Good.

I don't know why I bought it.

I won't be able to drive it much longer.

Maybe you should keep it.

Mom, please.

We should be able to talk about these things.

Fine.

Treatment's not making me so sick.

In the mornings any more.

Maybe I'm getting used to it.

Can I get you some tea or something?

No. Sit.

So, how are you?

How's...

Roberto. - ...Roberto?

I don't know.

Is it you or him?

I don't know.

It's you.

You don't even know him.

I don't have to know him.

I know you.

Where are you going? - To get some tea.

I thought you didn't want tea.

I've changed my mind.

Look, nothing's perfect.

The sooner you accept that,

the happier you'll be.

I worry about you, rona.

I know.

Excuse me.

Sorry to bother you, but, uh,

we're doing a door-to-door inquiry.

About the missing miller girl.

I'm sorry, I don't...

Amy Lee miller.

She disappeared from the park across the street yesterday.

You haven't heard about this?

No, I haven't.

I wonder if I can get your name?

Richard Jacob.

J-a-c-o-b.

You married, Mr. Jacob?

No.

Well, yes... Technically.

I've been separated from my wife for a long time.

She lives overseas.

Any children?

Yes. One.

She lives with her mother.

You're French?

Yes.

French French?

French French.

From belgium, originally.

Why'd you leave France?

I wanted a change.

I thought I'd like the winters.

Do you?

No.

Have you seen this girl?

Does she look familiar to you at all?

No, I've never seen her.

Em.

Hi. I was just wondering.

If there was anything I could do to help.

Is there anything you need?

I thought you might want this back.

She left it in my office.

Get out of my house.

Haven't you done enough?

I'm a mother, too. I know how you must feel.

How would you know how I feel?

Get out.

Get out of my house.

Why'd you get kicked out of school?

I didn't get kicked out.

I dropped out.

Okay, why'd you drop out?

I had to get a job.

To support my mother's drug habit.

Really, why'd you quit?

I... didn't fit in.

Not fitting in forces you.

To be original.

Who wants to be like everyone else anyway?

Most people aren't that great.

You know, I've seen you other times,

not just in school.

Where?

In the park walking dogs.

I do things for old people...

Walk their dogs, read to them,

buy them groceries, whatever.

So what's that like, working for old people?

My mother hates it when I call them that.

She thinks it's reductive.

Did you hear about that girl.

That went missing?

Yeah.

She's probably dead.

They say if a kid hasn't turned up within 48 hours,

that they're probably dead.

It hasn't been 48 hours.

Hello?

Mama, there's no one there.

Is that you, sylvie?

Of course, it's me. Is that you, Daniel?

Mama, it's Daniel. Come quick.

I was wondering...

I don't, uh, have an appointment,

but can you see me?

Now?

If you can.

I...

Okay. Sure.

Come in.

What did you say?

Nobody's touched me in...

Such a long time.

I know.

I know.

Rupert:

I like to see where they're looking.

When they're doing it...

Like, if they're looking into each ether's eyes.

Or away.

All types of little things like that.

Can tell you a lot.

Like what?

If they really want to be there or not.

If they're happy or miserable...

Turned on or uncomfortable.

Or if they're in love.

Have you ever been caught?

Some people like to be watched.

Other people like to watch.

Hey, hi. Sorry I'm late.

I got tied up.

Well, I forgot you were coming.

I'm just on my way out.

Well, do you wanna reschedule?

No.

No. It's fine.

Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm just great.

Thanks for asking.

Bitch.

You have one new message.

To listen to your messages, press '1.'

It's me. Are you there? Pick up the phone..

Shit.

You know that little girl that's missing?

You must've heard about it. I know her.

Two days after I got back from Italy,

the mother and her kid came to my studio.

You came with me, and we delivered the cake.

A little house in the east end, remember?

Call me when you get this message.

God...

Yeah?

Hi, it's me.

You got my message?

Yeah. I'm upstairs.

Where?

Massage office. I'll come down.

No.

Well, I wanna see 'luigi.'

not yet. Give it another day.

Anyway, he's in bed.

That could be interesting.

Listen, you know that girl that's missing?

It's a sign.

What kind of sign?

Something... Malevolent.

It's not a sign. It's just freaky shit.

Freaky shit happens all the time.

I know her.

You met her a couple of times.

I saw her yesterday,

probably half an hour before it happened.

She was with that girl,

your massage lady's kid.

Rachel?

I ran into them on the elevator,

then I watched them go into the park together.

I never liked that girl.

Who's to say...

...She didn't just throw the kid in a hole?

That's a horrible thing to say.

She's evil.

She's a 16-year-old girl.

Well, it hasn't been that long.

Maybe they'll find her.

No.

They won't find her.

I know you don't want me here, but, uh...

I can't help but feel that this is all my fault.

I want to help you.

You don't want to help me.

You want me to forgive you.

It doesn't matter whose fault it is.

I don't blame you.

After you left...

I prayed.

I haven't done that in a really long time.

I mean, I'm not somebody...

But when I did...

I knew it.

They are going to find her.

She's going to be okay.

We just have to have faith.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

I shouldn't have sent her out there.

I don't hate my mother.

I just don't relate to her very well.

She's always looking at me.

Like I've got something stuck between my teeth.

I don't think she likes me very much.

I'm an orphan.

Really?

I wish.

What about your father?

Dead.

Two years ago.

How'd he die?

I killed him.

We were screwing around in history class, and...

I just didn't want to be there.

I knew if I pushed it far enough I'd get kicked out.

So I did.

And then they called my dad.

To come pick me up...

The car was totalled two blocks from our house.

Wow.

I know.

'If I were other, other than i,

perhaps the world still would be in one piece.

Maybe the I'd be might be loved.'

Rachel wrote that?

May I see?

I didn't know.

It's hard on kids,

losing someone.

It's hard on anybody.

Sometimes i...

Think I've had enough time.

To deal with it.

I should've gotten over him.

But then I'll be...

Massaging someone, and...

The shape of their shoulder...

Neck, or...

The feel of their hair...

And they're him.

Sometimes it's as if...

All the people I massage...

They're all him.

She's gonna be fine.

Your little girl, she is gonna be fine.

You're right.

They're gonna find her...

And she's gonna be fine.

Hi.

Hi.

I was surprised you called.

It's been a while.

That's a new piercing.

About a year.

A lot of them are new.

You just can't see them all.

You haven't said anything about my hair.

You look good.

Why did we break up?

Might as well ask why we were together.

In the first place.

First of all, you like men better.

Not better. Just...

You thought I was a slob...

You hated my music...

Lots of people hated your music.

So, uh...

What's this all about anyways?

What?

This.

I haven't heard from you in over two years.

I wanted to smell you.

What?

For the last couple of weeks,

I've been seeing everyone.

That I used to see.

And smelling them.

Yeah?

You can smell love.

If anyone I used to be with.

Still loves me,

I'll be able to tell.

I see.

And you wanna smell me?

Well, yeah.

Smell away.

What's the verdict?

No.

Well... it works.

I don't love you.

I like you.

But i... I don't love you.

There's a lot of people out there.

You just have to give it time.

Yeah.

Not everyone's meant to be with someone.

...No...

Bonjour.

People always blame the mother..

You can't watch your kids 24 hours a day.

What are you supposed to do,

give up everything else in your life?

Anyway, there's no point...

...Focusing all this attention on the mother.

There's a kid out there.

Why aren't they worrying about her?

Thanks for your call.

This is kcln radio talk back,

and we're talking back about the disappearance...

...Of Amy Lee Miller.

Hello, Anna miller speaking.

Yeah. Yeah.

No.

No...

There's no news.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Si.

Coming.

Hi. I'm Robert.

Robert? Roberto. Benvenuto.

Nice... nice...?

Si? Capici?

Rona.

...Amico Robert.

Having fun, boys?

What are you doing here?

Looks like I came for brunch.

What, are you expecting company?

No, but that doesn't stop him.

He's like julia child.

With a blender up her ass.

He can cook.

He's experimenting.

He wants to get a job in a restaurant.

So he's staying.

No, no. No or a.

Si, or a, si.

No or a. - E si...

Scusa. - Shit.

Scusa. Scusa.

I was talking.

Sto parlando.

Parlare, mangiare, eh?

No. Basta, bas...

Basta. Basta.

Sorry.

High maintenance.

Well...

You look good.

Of course I look good.

All I do is fuck and eat.

I'm worried it could be some kind of scam.

There was a woman at the airport with him.

I'll go in there right now and tell him to get lost.

He won't understand you.

I don't know. I've been invaded.

Let's get out of here.

Why did we break up?

You're not serious?

I just want to know.

Well, for one thing,

every time we went to bed together,

we couldn't stop laughing.

Do you think we use each other.

To avoid intimacy with other people?

Fuck off.

Sometimes it's the people you're closest to.

That hold you back the most.

What's this all about anyway?

You know that couple,

the ones you made the cake for?

The cute husband.

Well, they're so...

Whenever I see them, I think...

'Why can't I have that?'.

Maybe you don't want that...

Maybe you want them.

Honey, you're a prize.

You're a catch.

Yeah, I know.

I should go.

Where?

To see my mother.

You saw your mother yesterday.

What you should do is go home.

And deal with luigi.

I'll tell you why we broke up:

'Cause you were always on my tits.

Come on.

Sit down.

Did you buy all this stuff?

Not exactly.

I like this one.

Put it on.

You put it on.

Okay.

I don't know if it's really me.

The cake was a hit.

Really?

Well, it didn't really taste that good, but...

It looked great.

Well, you know...

She's not really much of a cook.

That's a bit of a thing with her.

I mean... I don't mean to say she's...

I mean, she's... I suppose shouldn't say that.

She's, uh... - Never mind.

She's a good friend?

Yeah. We plan on spending.

Our infirmity together on a desert island.

That's our contingency plan.

So you're not with anyone?

No.

I don't really do that very well.

What?

Nothing.

What?

Maybe you just haven't found the right person.

Yeah, right.

All the people I've had relationships with...

And I won't call them lovers.

Because I don't think.

There was ever any love there...

People come into your life for a reason..

It may not be forever...

But it still means something.

Coffee?

Monica? Ciao, Roberto.

Mom?

Mom?

God.

Richard:

Everybody...

Is afraid...

Of something.

It's just a side effect of the medication..

Maybe she shouldn't be taking it, then.

Well, her doctor should reduce the dosage.

You should go to a hospital.

I'm fine. I fainted, that's all.

It's happened before.

You fainted before? You never told me.

Well, things happen when you're dying.

You're not dying.

Wait here a minute. I'll be right back.

Okay.

Do you wanna sit down?

Sure.

It's for you.

It's for all your help this weekend.

You didn't have to.

Open it.

It's beautiful.

It's new.

That's the first bottle.

Try it.

What's wrong?

It smells like love.

What do you think?

Now look.

How do you feel?

I feel...

Mysterious from the head up...

And exotic from the neck down.

What should I do now?

Rachel, if you're there, pick up.

I'm at Anna miller's house. I spent the night here.

I hope you weren't worried.

Listen, i...

I wanted to tell you that...

I... I need to tell you that... that i...

Anyway...

I'll see you soon, okay?

She's not there.

You can have that yearbook.

If you'd like.

You sure?

Yeah.

Thanks.

I should go home, maybe.

I'd like it if you'd stay.

I'll stay.

Go home.

What?

Go home.

Thought I could make you some dinner or something.

Don't use me, rona.

Look, I love you...

But you have to face this.

Now, go home and deal with him.

Come see me tomorrow. I'll still be sick.

You're right.

Of course I'm right.

Now, go home.

Rona?

My dad used to bring me down here,

to take pictures.

He was a photographer.

Did he dress you up?

No.

How did you know?

Know what?

That you're...

What you are.

How did you know?

I'm not sure that I do know.

You like to look at me.

When I'm dressed up like this?

Yeah.

Why?

I don't know.

It's like looking at you inside-out.

I'm looking for Anna miller.

Through there.

They found her.

She's safe.

I can take you to her.

Okay...

Okay...

...Thank you.

Rachel?

Rachel?

...The park where she was last seen..

Incredibly, little Amy Lee had spent almost two days...

...İn a loft room without being detected.

She was found this afternoon...

...On a search through the construction site...

...Across the road from where she disappeared.

How this was possible,

even with numerous previous searches of the area,

is still being investigated,

but there is no evidence of foul play.

Amy Lee, who is now back home with her mother...

...After spending the afternoon...

...Under examination at children's hospital,

was found to be in surprisingly good health.

The child survived the two day ordeal...

...By drinking water from a tap,

and eating scraps of food left over by workers.

...Reported to be fine despite her ordeal...

...And is now resting at home.

A statement from her mother, Anna Miller,

issued a short time ago,

commended the efforts of those who helped in the search...

...And thanked others whose thoughts and best wishes...

...Were a source of comfort...

...During those difficult two days.

Just two days after the search began,

Amy Lee Miller was found no more than a city block away...

...From the park where she was last seen...

Rona, are you there?

You were wrong.

They found her.

Okay, monica.

...♪ Amarilli... ♪...

...♪ Amarilli... ♪...

...♪ Mi amore ♪.

Thank God you're home.

They found her.

Oh. Me.

Yes, that's right.

Y- O-U.

You.

- Oh. You. - Yes.

Me. You.

- Me. You. - Yes.

Man. Woman.

That's right.

- Sea. - Yes.

- Earth. - No, no. No.

Sea. Sky. Earth.

Me, uh-

Uh, stupid.

- Stupid? - Yes.

Oh, me... stupid.

Caleb! Caleb, it's a ship!

It's come! You were wrong, you old porpoise!

A derelict.

- He want go away? - Aye.

Why?

- Why? - He's sad when he thinks of his homeland.

No, no. There is vahini- a woman.

It's hard to explain.

Someday he'll tell you all about it.

No be sad.

Ship will come sometime.

No. I shall be here for the rest of my days.

I know ship come.

I ask sea send it.

Well, that's the last of the derelict.

They want know what for?

You tell 'em I make knives, hatchets. They'll see. Very good.

- What this? - It's to eat with.

No, no, no. Like this.

Why?

Go on. Try again.

No. I am too stupid.

No, perhaps I'm the one that's stupid. These things have no place here.

- I am so... proud. - Why?

You have done much for my people. And they know it.

You see how they all come to you now...

and ask if they should do this or do this?

Even Feenou.

They make you chief if you say.

This time it's no derelict.

- Eve- - You will go.

- If you stay out of pity, I will throw myself in sea. - But, Eve, I-

I can only be happy if you are happy.

They will not land.

I told them it would mean that spears would be thrown.

It is better for your people if no more white men come here.

They want fresh meat and water. That I promised them.

She's a Dutchman homeward bound for Rotterdam.

We sail on the ebb, two hours after sunset.

She'll fire a gun when 'tis time.

I've something for you.

My share. I'll have no need for them.

I don't understand. What do you mean?

It will help you buy your estates and clear your name.

This is the fortune you've always wanted.

Aye, I've always wanted a fortune.

Now I've found it.

I'm not going with you, lad.

- Are you going to stay here the rest of your life? - Aye.

You thought I was mad when I told you about the island.

You were right. I was then.

Mad for riches, but I didn't know what they were.

Now I have found them and wisdom too.

No, I'm not going with you, Ben.

And I don't envy you.

Good morning, Your Worship.

Good morning.

Well, who's waiting?

Milord Havistock, sir. He insists on seeing you at once.

He thinks he should be made a knight commander of the Bath.

I don't. I told the king so.

Who else?

Colonel de Forest, sir. He wants you to use your influence to-

Ah, London is full of colonels who want brigades...

and bishops who want to be archbishops.

- Who else? - A goodly number of the usual, sir.

And, oh, a sailor, sir. A common seafaring man...

who claims he has a tale to interest you.

Tell him to take his tale somewhere else. I've no time to waste.

But begging your pardon, sir. I told him to go. He laughed at me.

He said to give you this, sir.

Huh?

Hmm.

Well.

Well, 'tis an interesting calling card.

The others can wait.

Tell the sailor to bring in his tale.

Yes, Your Worship.

Please, please, please. One at a time.

- Please, milords and gentlemen. - But I've been waiting for hours.

This way, my man.

I'll give you five minutes.

- My time is not to be wasted. - So I heard.

- That's why I came to you. - Compliments are a waste of time.

I was told that you're a man of influence-

- in parliament and in the courts. - I won't deny it.

That you can buy titles or pardons, make men or break their enemies.

- Come to it. - Do you know Sir Arthur Blake of Breetholm in Wiltshire?

Aye. He gambles on the exchange.

Well, he's my uncle... and my enemy.

Boil me, but you've chosen yourself a hard one.

He is also a usurper, since his title and estates are rightfully mine...

by inheritance from my father, Sir Godfrey Blake.

Godfrey! Aha! Yeah, I knew Godfrey.

A buck. What do you want of me?

Breetholm- my right to it confirmed in law.

That's simple. Why come to me?

Because it isn't so simple. There's never been any proof that my father was ever married.

And you believe you have any rights?

And that isn't all. I'm wanted by the crown for an attempted assault...

against Sir Arthur while I was still his bonded servant.

- A hanging offense! - I knew that when I came here.

Fry me if you're not a buck too.

Sit down.

Now, you want to be confirmed...

in a title and estates to which you may have no legal right...

and to be pardoned by the king for a hanging offense?

- Aye. - Aye. Well, 'tis a modest request.

If you feel it's beyond your powers, I can go to someone else.

No, keep your chair.

It might be arranged.

But, uh, it would cost...

I think more than you can afford.

Is there enough there?

Which reminds me that my fee will be �2,000.

I'll pay you 5,000 if you ask it.

Boil me, sir, will you haggle with me?

When I make a price, I hold to it.

Now I want some details. Your father was Godfrey Blake, huh?

- And who was your mother? - Bessie Kidder.

Yeah. Where were you born?

In the city of Bombay in India. My father took my mother there.

- Without a parson? - That's what they say.

Ah, it's a hard nut, Ben.

Perhaps too hard even for my jaws to crack.

Your enemy has the law on his side...

which wouldn't matter a threepenny bit if he didn't have power to go with it.

Do you understand me?

I'll have to deal with men of his own kind-

arrogant lordlings and stuffed gowns-

who'll be much more likely to favor his case than yours.

Yeah, they'll be against you...

because they know that 'tis only a sham that keeps the likes of them up...

and the likes of you down.

The sham of blood.

And the truth is, a man's a man, whatever you name him.

Well, come back in a month.

No. No, I'll take care of these.

Yeah, they'll be safer with me.

You don't trust me?

Well, it seems I have no choice since I put myself in your hands.

Fry me! You've got a head on your shoulders!

- I'll have to have some money, though, to pay a few debts. - How much?

- A thousand pounds. - Yeah.

Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut.

Your time's up. Get out.

Get back with ya!

You'll find him in here, sir.

I have a pistol you made for me many years ago.

Aye. Once I did the best work in the shire.

Perhaps you could repair it for me.

I've got no tools, and there's no workbench here.

- What if you were free? - Free? Huh!

That would take �40- �40 for my offense.

God knows it was no crime.

There's none who will pay it for you?

One. One only.

But he's far away. Perhaps dead.

Can you stand a shock- a surprise?

- Aye. - You won't cry out...

but sit there just the same as though we were still talking about the pistol?

Aye. Is he alive?

Alive and well.

- Where is he? - Back in England.

- Is he caught? - No.

And he won't be. He's right here beside you.

- Ben! - Hush!

Listen to me. I haven't come back a poor man.

Put your hand beside you under your coat.

No. You're still hiding from them.

I hope to have my freedom in a month.

Then for a month it's enough to know that you're alive and that you've got your gold.

If I bought myself out now, they'd know where I got it.

Take it anyway, just in case.

Aye, in case. But I'll not use it till you're a free man.

- If you can stand it here. - I've stood it these years.

I'll make these years up to you, every minute of them.

The turnkey's coming.

If you should want me, get in touch with Silas Jones at the George & Crown.

Aye, that was a good pistol you made me. I'm sorry you cannot mend it.

Good day to you.

Herbert! Where's that wine, you scoundrel!

Coming, Your Worship. Coming.

And so I said to Lady Beeval, You remind me of a weasel.

She said, Why, Sir Arthur, I thought you were a gentleman.

I said, "Whatever gave you that impression?

Here is something that may please you.

- Ben! - Shh.

I don't want to disturb your father, at least not yet.

I can't believe my eyes. Where? How?

I had to see you, if only for a moment.

I'd begun to think you dead.

Later you shall know all.

Ben, they're beautiful. Priceless.

I've come back with a fortune, darling.

I've come back to claim what's mine. You haven't forgotten your promise?

No, dear, not for a moment.

That may be Father. If he found you here, he'd kill you.

He's tried that before.

- When will I see you? - I'll come tomorrow, same time.

Where are you living? Suppose something happened and I needed you?

I'm at the George & Crown in Bristol under the name of Master Silas Jones.

You go around the rear. You wait here.

You two inside and wait for me.

Drop the reins and put up your hands.

Could I have a word with the prisoner? He's my grandson.

All right, gaffer. We'll give you a minute.

- Did you see Pratt? - Aye.

After trying for two days, I reached him at his own house.

Ben, he said he knew of no Benjamin Blake.

He denied flat ever having heard of ya.

Yeah, I should have known better.

I was a fool ever to put my trust in him.

Have you anything to say in your own behalf...

before the court pronounces sentence?

No, Your Lordship. I have nothing to say in my own defense.

For I am guilty of the crime charged against me.

And if I could live my life again, I'd be guilty of the same crime...

and be prepared to hang for it again.

The charge is that I, a bonded servant, attempted assault against my master.

It matters nothing that that assault was richly deserved.

The law says that I must hang for it. Beyond that, the law does not look.

If justice were not so blind, it'd be quite clear that men like Sir Arthur Blake...

should not be permitted to make chattels out of other human beings-

to use them as playthings for their cruelty and brutality.

I alone dared to defy him because we are both of the same blood...

because I suffered a personal injustice at his hands-

an injustice which is of no interest to Your Lordship or thejury.

Others have suffered as much as I- more than I.

Men have been crippled by him. One was blinded.

Others broken in spirit and soul without any hope of redress within the law...

because the law is on the side of Sir Arthur and his kind!

Your Lordship, this is treasonable!

The prisoner will be allowed to finish.

Thank you, milord.

I hold no grudge against this court. I have had a fair trial.

Your Lordship and the jury have only done your duty toward me.

But I only hope in going to the scaffold...

that I can hasten the doom of this injustice.

That the day will come when Englishmen who serve other Englishmen...

will do so as free men- paid for their work...

but keeping title to their spirits and their souls.

What the prisoner has said is interesting and largely true.

But as you point out, the justice of this court...

is rigidly confined by the law.

And so, I must pronounce sentence upon you...

for the crime of which you have been found guilty.

- The sentence of this court is- - Milord!

May I beg the indulgence of this court?

Uh-

The court will listen with interest to anything...

that Mr. Bartholomew Pratt has to say.

But, Your Lordship, the jury has already made its findings.

I submit that it would be outrageous to-

The court will hear Mr. Pratt.

But what the learned gentleman says is true.

The court has already found the prisoner guilty.

On the basis of the evidence submitted...

no other finding could have been made.

The prisoner is guilty of the crime charged to him...

but only if it can be proved...

that any crime was committed in the first place.

I do not understand you, Mr. Pratt.

The evidence has not been refuted. The prisoner has entered no denial.

Perfectly true, milord.

As I understand it...

he is charged with an attempted assault...

upon the person of Sir Arthur Blake, baronet of Breetholm.

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.

Then, milord, I must submit that there has been no crime...

since there is no Sir Arthur Blake...

and since the man accused of committing it...

is and was at the time of the alleged offense...

himself Sir Benjamin Blake...

baronet of Breetholm.

Milord, Your Lordship knows that thejury-

But, milord, these- these proceedings are highly irreg-

Milord, I protest.

Most extraordinary statement, Mr. Pratt...

from one of your standing and repute.

I am prepared to prove it, milord.

If Your Lordship will read this entry...

from the log of the East India Company ship, Calcutta Queen...

which I obtained from the company's offices in London.

This day, I joined in holy wedlock...

Sir Godfrey Blake, passenger, and Mistress Bessie Kidder, a passenger.

I have also here the sworn statements...

of the mate of the Calcutta Queen who is still living...

and of Dr. Fleetwood...

formerly of Bombay and, uh, others.

Isabel!

Isabel!

Well, he's won.

- Won? - Aye.

He had the proofs in court and gained his release.

Bartholomew Pratt's behind him.

No barrister in England would take a case against Pratt.

Then Breetholm is his?

Aye.

Well, don't you understand? We're ruined.

You are.

I'm not.

What do you mean?

I didn't tell you why he came here that night.

It was to ask me to remain here...

as his wife.

Not really.

Now that has possibilities.

Yes.

As a fond father, I might even be persuaded to give my blessing to such a brilliant marriage.

I'm afraid your blessing won't be appreciated.

I intend to make it appreciated.

What do you mean?

You are my daughter. We understand each other.

- Well? - I know your marriage will be a happy one.

I only hope that in your happiness you will not be tempted...

to forget your poor father now that he is broken and humbled.

- Why should I forget you? - Oh, I'm certain you won't.

I'm counting on the milk ofhuman kindness, which I'm sure you'll not allow to...

uh, curdle within you for your filial affection.

- Come to the point! - If you insist.

In case you are tempted, I ask you only to remember...

that we share one secret which might be of interest to the happy bridegroom.

- Go on. - A strange fellow, Ben-

moody and quick to take offense.

What would he say, for instance, if he were to learn...

who told me that I'd find him at the George & Crown the night he was arrested?

What would he say to that, my dear?

- You wouldn't dare. - Wouldn't I?

And even if you did, he wouldn't believe you. Why do you think he came back?

For revenge? No. For me. He loves me.

All his life he's worshipped me. He'll do anything I ask him...

believe anything I tell him, even if you were to swear to him on a Bible-

Ben, you-you mustn't believe what he says.

It isn't true, Ben. It- It isn't true.

Sometime ago, you were concerned with my education.

Perhaps now we can complete it.

It will give me the greatest satisfaction.

And it is my wish that the estate known as Breetholm...

shall be divided among my friends, its present tenants...

to be held by them in fee simple...

as freeholders and free men while they live...

and by their heirs and assignees thereafter.

The manor house and park...

I give to my grandfather and dear friend, Amos Kidder.

In witness whereof, I have this day...

set my hand and seal.

It is signed "Ben...

once known as Sir Benjamin Blake...

baronet and master of Breetholm.

Eve.
