SUBTITLING MADE POSSIBLE BY

00:00:26,660 --> 00:00:28,620
RLJ ENTERTAINMENT

3
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,230
BEA: Hello.

4
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:39,030
Thought you'd have

5
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:39,030
gone to bed by now.

6
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:41,570
EVIE: I'm not tired,

7
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:41,570
I was waiting for you.

8
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,440
BEA: I'm sorry

9
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,440
if it's late.

10
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:45,840
EVIE:

11
00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:45,840
How was your evening?

12
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:47,340
[Bea sighs]

13
00:00:47,410 --> 00:00:49,540
Interesting.

14
00:00:49,610 --> 00:00:51,710
EVIE: In what way?

15
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:55,110
BEA: Well...

16
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:59,990
I had a sort of

17
00:00:55,180 --> 00:00:59,990
proposal.

18
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:02,550
Piggy?

19
00:01:02,620 --> 00:01:05,650
He wants me to share lodgings

20
00:01:02,620 --> 00:01:05,650
with him in Birmingham.

21
00:01:05,730 --> 00:01:08,320
What?

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,390
He's broke, you see.

23
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:14,030
Flat broke.

24
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:14,030
Poor Piggy.

25
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:17,400
All his shares, everything,

26
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:17,400
just gone.

27
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:21,200
Oh, that's dreadful.

28
00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:21,200
How?

29
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,610
Bad investments.

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,710
He's taken it

31
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,710
very well.

32
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:30,620
Now he's going to do what he

33
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:30,620
really wants, to be an actor.

34
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:32,750
He's got a job at the Birmingham

35
00:01:30,690 --> 00:01:32,750
Repertory Theater.

36
00:01:32,820 --> 00:01:36,380
And he wants you

37
00:01:32,820 --> 00:01:36,380
to go with him.

38
00:01:36,460 --> 00:01:38,620
Dear Piggy...

39
00:01:38,690 --> 00:01:40,890
Can you imagine it,

40
00:01:38,690 --> 00:01:40,890
living in sin,

41
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:44,060
me as a wardrobe mistress

42
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:44,060
while he carries a spear?

43
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:45,900
[Chuckles]

44
00:01:45,970 --> 00:01:49,700
If it wasn't so serious

45
00:01:45,970 --> 00:01:49,700
it would be funny.

46
00:01:52,340 --> 00:01:53,780
Bea.

47
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,670
Mm.

48
00:01:55,740 --> 00:01:59,550
I had a sort of proposal

49
00:01:55,740 --> 00:01:59,550
tonight, myself, as well.

50
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:04,110
- What?

51
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:04,110
- An unexpected visitor.

52
00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:06,620
Arthur.

53
00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:08,850
He expected us both to be in,

54
00:02:06,690 --> 00:02:08,850
and when he realized you --

55
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:10,360
He proposed to you?

56
00:02:10,430 --> 00:02:14,950
He said his life was...empty.

57
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:16,460
He was unhappy.

58
00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:18,830
I don't believe this.

59
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:22,130
He was so creeping.

60
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,900
Bea, it was horrible.

61
00:02:23,970 --> 00:02:26,440
Evie...

62
00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:29,140
You can imagine

63
00:02:26,510 --> 00:02:29,140
how I felt.

64
00:02:31,510 --> 00:02:36,010
He's gone too far

65
00:02:31,510 --> 00:02:36,010
this time.

66
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,920
I'm going to phone Aunt Lydia

67
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,920
first thing in the morning.

68
00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:40,790
Why?

69
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,120
'Cause I think she should know

70
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,120
what her son,

71
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:44,960
your legal guardian,

72
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:44,960
has done.

73
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:46,390
Why didn't you tell me?!

74
00:02:46,460 --> 00:02:47,590
It's my own business,

75
00:02:46,460 --> 00:02:47,590
mother.

76
00:02:47,660 --> 00:02:48,820
Marriage to Evangeline?

77
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:50,800
Have you taken leave

78
00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:50,800
of your senses?

79
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:53,200
- Have you taken leave of yours?

80
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:53,200
- What?!

81
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:54,200
Ever since I came back

82
00:02:53,270 --> 00:02:54,200
from the war,

83
00:02:54,270 --> 00:02:55,500
you've done nothing but

84
00:02:54,270 --> 00:02:55,500
badger me to get married.

85
00:02:55,570 --> 00:02:58,370
You tried to pair me off with

86
00:02:55,570 --> 00:02:58,370
every suitable girl in town.

87
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,700
- The whole thing's

88
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,700
become a joke.

89
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,700
- Arthur!

90
00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:01,900
When it comes to marriage,

91
00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:01,900
I want to choose for myself.

92
00:03:01,980 --> 00:03:03,910
- Is that clear?

93
00:03:01,980 --> 00:03:03,910
- And you chose

94
00:03:01,980 --> 00:03:03,910
Evangeline Eliott?

95
00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:06,450
A girl without a penny to her

96
00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:06,450
name and no place in society?

97
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,780
Mother, there's been a war!

98
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,780
Things have changed.

99
00:03:08,850 --> 00:03:10,550
You will not dictate

100
00:03:08,850 --> 00:03:10,550
to me anymore.

101
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:12,320
I'll thank you not to refer to

102
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:12,320
this again, ever.

103
00:03:12,390 --> 00:03:13,820
I'm going to work.

104
00:03:13,890 --> 00:03:17,720
Beatrice has humiliated me

105
00:03:13,890 --> 00:03:17,720
because of your impropriety!

106
00:03:17,790 --> 00:03:20,260
Apart from the stupidity of it,

107
00:03:17,790 --> 00:03:20,260
didn't it cross your mind

108
00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:22,560
that you're Evangeline's

109
00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:22,560
legal guardian

110
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:24,100
until she's of age?

111
00:03:24,170 --> 00:03:26,160
A solicitor, of all people!

112
00:03:26,230 --> 00:03:29,300
Popping the question

113
00:03:26,230 --> 00:03:29,300
to his ward?

114
00:03:29,370 --> 00:03:31,640
- Oh, Evie, what do you think?

115
00:03:29,370 --> 00:03:31,640
- It looks great.

116
00:03:31,710 --> 00:03:33,640
Come to invite you

117
00:03:31,710 --> 00:03:33,640
to the movies tonight.

118
00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:34,840
That includes you, Tilly.

119
00:03:34,910 --> 00:03:36,070
Oh, I'm not sure, sir.

120
00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:38,440
They give me 'eadache

121
00:03:36,140 --> 00:03:38,440
and hurt my eyes, they do,

122
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:39,850
all that flickering.

123
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,650
It's very kind of you, Jack,

124
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,650
but we aren't in the mood.

125
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,690
Head down and racing for

126
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,690
a brick wall.

127
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:47,480
Ouch!

128
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:47,480
What's the matter?

129
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,080
We're running out of cash,

130
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,420
just at the time

131
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,420
we need more capital

132
00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:53,330
for equipment

133
00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:53,330
and for staff.

134
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,690
What happened to that nice, big

135
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,690
check that Piggy promised you?

136
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,360
Can't have gone back on

137
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,360
his work, surely.

138
00:03:57,430 --> 00:03:59,800
No...

139
00:03:59,870 --> 00:04:02,360
He's now not in a position

140
00:03:59,870 --> 00:04:02,360
to offer us anything.

141
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,430
- He's been let down very badly.

142
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,430
- How?

143
00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:07,700
Oh, Jack, it's a long story,

144
00:04:04,510 --> 00:04:07,700
but he's been left with nothing.

145
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:10,710
Nothing?

146
00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:10,710
What do you mean?

147
00:04:10,780 --> 00:04:13,770
Bad investments.

148
00:04:13,850 --> 00:04:16,050
We're quite worried, Jack.

149
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,850
I'm not surprised.

150
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,250
[Sighs]

151
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,550
Poor chap.

152
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:25,790
Situation's pretty serious

153
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:25,790
for you, too, isn't it?

154
00:04:25,860 --> 00:04:28,660
Mm, I'm afraid it is, yes.

155
00:04:28,730 --> 00:04:31,060
Good Lord.

156
00:04:31,130 --> 00:04:32,800
I suppose my investment

157
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:34,270
has been swallowed-up already?

158
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:35,930
Jack, it was

159
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:35,930
a wonderful start.

160
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,030
We just need more

161
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,030
to keep us on our feet.

162
00:04:38,110 --> 00:04:40,130
- BEA: We want to pay you back.

163
00:04:38,110 --> 00:04:40,130
- EVIE: She's had a brainwave.

164
00:04:40,210 --> 00:04:43,770
It is not a brainwave,

165
00:04:40,210 --> 00:04:43,770
it's a pretty dreary idea.

166
00:04:43,850 --> 00:04:46,750
I have to go --

167
00:04:43,850 --> 00:04:46,750
Evie will explain all.

168
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:48,750
Goodbye.

169
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:48,750
Wish me luck.

170
00:04:48,820 --> 00:04:50,980
Good luck.

171
00:05:11,010 --> 00:05:14,000
I'm so pleased that you wrote

172
00:05:11,010 --> 00:05:14,000
to me after all this time.

173
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,440
And how fine

174
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,440
you're looking.

175
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:22,850
Reading between the lines,

176
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:22,850
as you must have wanted me to,

177
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,010
I assume you and Evangeline

178
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,010
understand why

179
00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:27,210
I broke off my friendship

180
00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:27,210
with your father?

181
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:30,230
You discovered he was

182
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:30,230
a habitual adulterer.

183
00:05:30,290 --> 00:05:31,690
And a liar.

184
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,700
A miser and a tyrant.

185
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,250
To Evie and me,

186
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,250
at least.

187
00:05:36,330 --> 00:05:41,530
That must have been

188
00:05:36,330 --> 00:05:41,530
very hard for you both,

189
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,770
having to come to terms

190
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,770
with that knowledge.

191
00:05:46,540 --> 00:05:49,070
I stood as Evangeline's

192
00:05:46,540 --> 00:05:49,070
godfather.

193
00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:52,170
How did Henry explain why,

194
00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:52,170
quite suddenly,

195
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:55,120
I was no longer

196
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:55,120
a visitor at your home?

197
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:57,150
He told us you'd been

198
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:57,150
posted abroad.

199
00:05:57,220 --> 00:05:59,750
But every year on her birthday

200
00:05:57,220 --> 00:05:59,750
and at Christmas,

201
00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:01,550
there were

202
00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:01,550
your gifts for Evie,

203
00:06:01,620 --> 00:06:03,420
posted from

204
00:06:01,620 --> 00:06:03,420
somewhere in London.

205
00:06:03,490 --> 00:06:05,150
I used to be

206
00:06:03,490 --> 00:06:05,150
quite jealous sometimes.

207
00:06:05,230 --> 00:06:08,630
[Laughs]

208
00:06:05,230 --> 00:06:08,630
I don't believe that,

209
00:06:05,230 --> 00:06:08,630
not for one moment.

210
00:06:08,700 --> 00:06:10,170
Now, as to the, uh,

211
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:12,600
matter in hand...

212
00:06:12,670 --> 00:06:17,870
Your kind of business,

213
00:06:12,670 --> 00:06:17,870
however praiseworthy,

214
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:20,000
is on too small a scale to

215
00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:20,000
interest my colleagues here.

216
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,670
This is a matter for

217
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,670
the High Street banks.

218
00:06:24,750 --> 00:06:27,220
I have tried

219
00:06:24,750 --> 00:06:27,220
the High Street banks.

220
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:29,310
And they turned you down?

221
00:06:29,380 --> 00:06:31,380
Well, they turned you down

222
00:06:31,450 --> 00:06:34,480
because your proposals

223
00:06:31,450 --> 00:06:34,480
are inadequate.

224
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,680
Poor in accounting skills

225
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,920
and inspire no confidence

226
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,920
in a would-be investor.

227
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,730
You are asking men

228
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,730
to lend you money

229
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,930
with which to build

230
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,930
a hazy personal dream.

231
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,600
Now, what interest does

232
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,600
a hazy personal dream pay?

233
00:06:50,670 --> 00:06:53,640
If I were a man, would you

234
00:06:50,670 --> 00:06:53,640
talk to me like this?

235
00:06:53,710 --> 00:06:55,340
Would you be so dismissive?

236
00:06:55,410 --> 00:06:56,470
Certainly, I would.

237
00:06:56,540 --> 00:06:57,770
Far more men come to me

238
00:06:57,850 --> 00:07:00,010
with impossible projects

239
00:06:57,850 --> 00:07:00,010
than do women.

240
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,240
But why is it impossible?

241
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,810
Largely because you have

242
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,810
no guarantor.

243
00:07:03,890 --> 00:07:06,050
No one prepared to

244
00:07:03,890 --> 00:07:06,050
foot the bill

245
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,220
if you and Evangeline

246
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,220
go under.

247
00:07:08,290 --> 00:07:09,920
Why should we go under?

248
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:12,890
Because you're aiming at

249
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:12,890
underfunding from the start.

250
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:19,100
I won't take up

251
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:19,100
any more of your time.

252
00:07:19,170 --> 00:07:21,160
Beatrice, I know this much,

253
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,500
you've got courage and the

254
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,500
conviction of you abilities,

255
00:07:24,570 --> 00:07:25,670
and Evangeline's.

256
00:07:25,740 --> 00:07:27,330
But we're two

257
00:07:25,740 --> 00:07:27,330
empty headed girls

258
00:07:27,410 --> 00:07:29,570
trying to make our way

259
00:07:27,410 --> 00:07:29,570
in a world of men.

260
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,670
I'm sorry if I gave you

261
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,670
that impression -- truly sorry.

262
00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:37,380
Beatrice?

263
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,380
Bear this in mind...

264
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:44,550
Arthur Eliott has the reputation

265
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:44,550
in this city

266
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:46,090
of being a sound man.

267
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,890
Persuade Mr. Eliott

268
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,890
to stand as your guarantor,

269
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,230
and I promise

270
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,230
I will state your case,

271
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:53,830
as a personal gesture,

272
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:53,830
to my board members.

273
00:07:53,900 --> 00:07:56,030
Agreed?

274
00:07:56,100 --> 00:07:57,970
Agreed.

275
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,510
Part as friends?

276
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,570
I want you to succeed.

277
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:06,880
What I don't want to see

278
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:09,750
is you nose-diving

279
00:08:06,950 --> 00:08:09,750
into bankruptcy.

280
00:08:09,820 --> 00:08:13,690
There's too much

281
00:08:09,820 --> 00:08:13,690
of that about already.

282
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,620
- Goodbye.

283
00:08:17,690 --> 00:08:20,130
Beatrice?

284
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,430
I would like to step in again as

285
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,430
Evangeline's godfather...

286
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:26,930
and in a more personal way.

287
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,630
May I call on her sometime?

288
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,630
Quite soon?

289
00:08:31,710 --> 00:08:34,700
Yes, of course.

290
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,670
A little higher, don't you

291
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,670
think, Miss Eliott?

292
00:08:40,750 --> 00:08:43,010
Lady Colfax

293
00:08:40,750 --> 00:08:43,010
won't have her hemline

294
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,080
an inch lower,

295
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,080
your ladyship.

296
00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:46,640
Oh, dressmake for

297
00:08:45,150 --> 00:08:46,640
Sybil Colfax, do you?

298
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,980
Yes.

299
00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:50,620
Well, then, my dear,

300
00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:50,620
you are on the up and up.

301
00:08:50,690 --> 00:08:52,290
Only a trim ankle

302
00:08:50,690 --> 00:08:52,290
and a good calf

303
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,760
could withstand

304
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,760
this blast of fashion.

305
00:08:56,830 --> 00:08:58,530
The hemline will do nicely --

306
00:08:56,830 --> 00:08:58,530
have it completed

307
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,260
and sent round to me

308
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,260
at Southampton Square.

309
00:09:00,340 --> 00:09:02,000
Of course, your ladyship.

310
00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:05,340
Good, good...

311
00:09:02,070 --> 00:09:05,340
Good, good.

312
00:09:07,710 --> 00:09:10,580
[Sighs]

313
00:09:07,710 --> 00:09:10,580
Such charm these...

314
00:09:10,650 --> 00:09:12,310
small business have.

315
00:09:12,380 --> 00:09:14,280
TILLY: We think

316
00:09:12,380 --> 00:09:14,280
nothing else but of

317
00:09:14,350 --> 00:09:17,080
your ladyship's pleasure,

318
00:09:14,350 --> 00:09:17,080
Lady Finehurst.

319
00:09:17,150 --> 00:09:20,380
Such loyalty.

320
00:09:22,490 --> 00:09:25,950
Such nimble fingers.

321
00:09:22,490 --> 00:09:25,950
Good day.

322
00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:28,190
- EVIE: Good day.

323
00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:28,190
- [Tilly mouthing words]

324
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,960
EVIE: Thank you,

325
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,960
Lady Finehurst.

326
00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:35,370
Bye-bye.

327
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,770
[Both laughing]

328
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,280
Spod cash, Tilly.

329
00:09:41,340 --> 00:09:44,400
Save it for

330
00:09:41,340 --> 00:09:44,400
a rainy day.

331
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040
Bea, you've got to

332
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040
make up your mind.

333
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,710
I know, I know, I know.

334
00:09:49,780 --> 00:09:53,310
Well, whatever you decide,

335
00:09:49,780 --> 00:09:53,310
I'm with you.

336
00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:56,480
Hmm, you'll be rather more

337
00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:56,480
with me if I talk to Arthur.

338
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:59,790
Believe me, I can think of

339
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:59,790
nothing worse!

340
00:09:59,860 --> 00:10:01,190
But that man is our last hope.

341
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:03,660
And if he stands as

342
00:10:01,260 --> 00:10:03,660
our guarantor,

343
00:10:03,730 --> 00:10:05,390
Sir Desmond will help us.

344
00:10:05,470 --> 00:10:09,500
Yes! We have everything to lose

345
00:10:05,470 --> 00:10:09,500
by not approaching him.

346
00:10:11,540 --> 00:10:13,510
Do it now -- make an appointment

347
00:10:11,540 --> 00:10:13,510
to see him.

348
00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:15,770
No, he's far too sure

349
00:10:13,580 --> 00:10:15,770
of himself

350
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,210
when he's standing

351
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,210
behind his desk.

352
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,370
This calls for

353
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,370
the personal approach.

354
00:10:21,450 --> 00:10:24,910
And now, before I go off

355
00:10:21,450 --> 00:10:24,910
the whole idea.

356
00:10:25,150 --> 00:10:28,320
Miss Beatrice Eliott.

357
00:10:28,390 --> 00:10:31,020
Beatrice! Unexpected pleasure.

358
00:10:28,390 --> 00:10:31,020
Please, sit down.

359
00:10:31,090 --> 00:10:32,420
Drink?

360
00:10:32,490 --> 00:10:35,090
There is nothing personal

361
00:10:32,490 --> 00:10:35,090
about this visit, Arthur.

362
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,320
It's strictly business.

363
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,460
Business? Then why not

364
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,460
an appointment at my office?

365
00:10:39,530 --> 00:10:41,000
Unless you summon us

366
00:10:39,530 --> 00:10:41,000
to your office,

367
00:10:41,070 --> 00:10:42,470
you were always

368
00:10:41,070 --> 00:10:42,470
too busy to see us.

369
00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:46,100
Well...

370
00:10:46,170 --> 00:10:47,900
What is it you want to discuss?

371
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:52,310
We need help.

372
00:10:52,380 --> 00:10:56,650
We need a guarantor...

373
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,150
You.

374
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,520
Then Sir Desmond Gillespie

375
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,520
thinks he could

376
00:11:02,590 --> 00:11:05,030
raise enough money to

377
00:11:02,590 --> 00:11:05,030
set our enterprise going.

378
00:11:05,090 --> 00:11:08,060
Gillespie? You don't mean to

379
00:11:05,090 --> 00:11:08,060
tell me you've approached him?

380
00:11:08,130 --> 00:11:11,160
Why not? He's Evie's godfather,

381
00:11:08,130 --> 00:11:11,160
isn't he?

382
00:11:11,230 --> 00:11:13,220
Gillespie-Saroyan deal with

383
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:16,100
national and international

384
00:11:13,300 --> 00:11:16,100
accounts,

385
00:11:16,170 --> 00:11:18,230
not with parlor dressmaking.

386
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:21,740
He felt sure that

387
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:21,740
as Evie's guardian

388
00:11:21,810 --> 00:11:25,710
you'd be prepared to act as

389
00:11:21,810 --> 00:11:25,710
our guarantor.

390
00:11:25,780 --> 00:11:26,940

00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,220
Well, at the time, I believed

579
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:47,630
But you aren't,

580
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:47,630

581
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:50,640
So, this intrusion into their

582
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:50,640
lives must cease forthwith.

583
00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:56,650
Ask your mother what she knows

584
00:16:50,710 --> 00:16:56,650
of the following gentlemen:

585
00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:58,370
Mr. Simon Drew of Devizes;

586
00:16:58,450 --> 00:16:59,880
Mr. Roger Dunlap

587
00:16:59,950 --> 00:17:01,250
of Whiston;

588
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,010
Misters Frederick and Eustace

589
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,010
Colling of Kensington.

590
00:17:04,090 --> 00:17:05,920
Shall I go on?

591
00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:08,290
Let me see that.

592
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,230
Who are these men?

593
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:19,930
All current or former

594
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:19,930
acquaintances of your mother.

595
00:17:22,770 --> 00:17:24,670
What are you insinuating?

596
00:17:24,740 --> 00:17:27,070
Any one of whom could be

597
00:17:24,740 --> 00:17:27,070
your natural father.

598
00:17:27,140 --> 00:17:29,510
You have their addresses --

599
00:17:27,140 --> 00:17:29,510
go and badger them

600
00:17:29,580 --> 00:17:31,480
for reparation.

601
00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:36,610
I've a police constable outside

602
00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:36,610
just waiting for my signal.

603
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:43,320
Dr. Eliott did more than enough

604
00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:43,320
in his own modest way

605
00:17:43,390 --> 00:17:45,020
to acknowledge his relationship

606
00:17:43,390 --> 00:17:45,020
with your mother.

607
00:17:45,090 --> 00:17:46,560
Now, this whole episode

608
00:17:45,090 --> 00:17:46,560
is over.

609
00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:48,190
Take that list

610
00:17:46,630 --> 00:17:48,190
and get out of here.

611
00:17:48,260 --> 00:17:50,200
And if you attempt to bother

612
00:17:48,260 --> 00:17:50,200
me or my family,

613
00:17:50,260 --> 00:17:53,260
and that specifically includes

614
00:17:50,260 --> 00:17:53,260
Beatrice and Evangeline Eliott

615
00:17:53,330 --> 00:17:55,270
again, I'll ensure that

616
00:17:53,330 --> 00:17:55,270
your mother's

617
00:17:55,340 --> 00:17:56,770
reckless private life becomes

618
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,000
public knowledge.

619
00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:59,600
Newspapers, Mr. Pearce,

620
00:17:59,670 --> 00:18:01,440
avid for scandal.

621
00:19:53,220 --> 00:19:56,850
Arthur! Delightful surprise.

622
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,160
How very nice --

623
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,160
a lunchtime visit.

624
00:20:00,230 --> 00:20:02,700
Yes, well, a client failed to

625
00:20:00,230 --> 00:20:02,700
turn up for an appointment,

626
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,490
an hour to spare,

627
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,490
and I thought, well,

628
00:20:04,570 --> 00:20:06,560
why not look in and see

629
00:20:04,570 --> 00:20:06,560
how things are going.

630
00:20:06,630 --> 00:20:09,100
You must do this

631
00:20:06,630 --> 00:20:09,100
more often, darling.

632
00:20:09,170 --> 00:20:11,230
Here, let me take

633
00:20:09,170 --> 00:20:11,230
your things.

634
00:20:11,310 --> 00:20:12,500
Thank you.

635
00:20:12,570 --> 00:20:13,800
Yes, and what did occur to me,

636
00:20:13,870 --> 00:20:15,780
since my firm is undergoing

637
00:20:13,870 --> 00:20:15,780
its annual audit,

638
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,110
was that I might just take

639
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,110
a look at the club's books.

640
00:20:18,180 --> 00:20:19,670
Cocktail coming up.

641
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:21,580
Something about

642
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:21,580
the books, darling?

643
00:20:21,650 --> 00:20:22,980
Mm.

644
00:20:23,050 --> 00:20:24,850
- Prost.

645
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,450
Mmm, that's better.

646
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,620
Isn't it always --

647
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,620
sweetest sin in the world.

648
00:20:30,690 --> 00:20:32,890
Have you a gasper, love?

649
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,800
Oh, uh, must have left my case

650
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,800
in the office.

651
00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:39,560
Shan't keep you

652
00:20:36,860 --> 00:20:39,560
a moment.

653
00:20:39,630 --> 00:20:42,190
Oh, dear...

654
00:20:39,630 --> 00:20:42,190
The books.

655
00:20:42,270 --> 00:20:43,900
Susie, as a legal advisor

656
00:20:42,270 --> 00:20:43,900
to the club,

657
00:20:43,970 --> 00:20:45,870
I am expected to

658
00:20:43,970 --> 00:20:45,870
take a glance at the accounts

659
00:20:45,940 --> 00:20:47,370
from time to time.

660
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,030
Of course you are,

661
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,030
darling!

662
00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:51,200
It's just we've been

663
00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:51,200
so rushed recently

664
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,710
that I must fess up to being

665
00:20:52,780 --> 00:20:55,150
just a little bit behind-hand

666
00:20:52,780 --> 00:20:55,150
with the books.

667
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:57,340
- And so --

668
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:57,340
- Never mind, a general overview.

669
00:20:57,420 --> 00:20:59,580
On Tuesday, was it?

670
00:20:57,420 --> 00:20:59,580
Yes, Tuesday night,

671
00:20:59,650 --> 00:21:02,710
I decided to take the books

672
00:20:59,650 --> 00:21:02,710
and all the paperwork home,

673
00:21:02,790 --> 00:21:04,220
and believe me, sweetest,

674
00:21:04,290 --> 00:21:06,590
little Susie has been

675
00:21:04,290 --> 00:21:06,590
at those accounts

676
00:21:06,660 --> 00:21:07,960
every moment she's had.

677
00:21:08,030 --> 00:21:10,020
So, they should be ready when?

678
00:21:08,030 --> 00:21:10,020
By the weekend?

679
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:13,070
Weekend's an itsy bitsy tricksy,

680
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:13,070
sweetheart.

681
00:21:13,130 --> 00:21:15,730
This small person

682
00:21:13,130 --> 00:21:15,730
has been invited to

683
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,970
a very large party

684
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,970
in Deauville.

685
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,300
Oh! Well, of course,

686
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,300
you must go.

687
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:23,110
So, next week

688
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:23,110
for the books.

689
00:21:23,180 --> 00:21:25,370
Oh, any evening

690
00:21:23,180 --> 00:21:25,370
after Tuesday, beloved,

691
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:27,440
and I'll be here

692
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:27,440
at your disposal.

693
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:28,480
Now, do drink up,

694
00:21:28,550 --> 00:21:30,950
or your cocktail

695
00:21:28,550 --> 00:21:30,950
will be getting hot!

696
00:21:37,490 --> 00:21:39,860
BEA: What's that?

697
00:21:39,930 --> 00:21:42,120
A hazy personal dream?

698
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,720
There is nothing "hazy"

699
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,720
about it.

700
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,100
It's all there, in detail,

701
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,100
and it's mine.

702
00:21:47,170 --> 00:21:48,600
It's not a copy of

703
00:21:48,670 --> 00:21:50,600
last month's gay little number

704
00:21:48,670 --> 00:21:50,600
by Lucille.

705
00:21:50,670 --> 00:21:53,140
Lucille couldn't design anything

706
00:21:50,670 --> 00:21:53,140
half as clever as that,

707
00:21:53,210 --> 00:21:55,070
but who, Evie,

708
00:21:53,210 --> 00:21:55,070
of our existing clientele

709
00:21:55,140 --> 00:21:56,970
is going to pay for

710
00:21:55,140 --> 00:21:56,970
an original by you,

711
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,600
when we can deliver a cunning

712
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,600
copy of a Lucille or a Worth,

713
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,080
and it's a third

714
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,080
of their prices?

715
00:22:01,150 --> 00:22:03,450
I am not going to copy other

716
00:22:01,150 --> 00:22:03,450
people's designs

717
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,580
for the rest of

718
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,580
my life.

719
00:22:41,290 --> 00:22:43,590
Evie won't be a moment,

720
00:22:41,290 --> 00:22:43,590
Sir Desmond.

721
00:22:43,660 --> 00:22:46,350
The knightly address is for

722
00:22:43,660 --> 00:22:46,350
client's only --

723
00:22:46,430 --> 00:22:48,660
for Heaven's sake,

724
00:22:46,430 --> 00:22:48,660
call me Desmond.

725
00:22:48,730 --> 00:22:50,660
What a charming room!

726
00:22:50,730 --> 00:22:53,000
Have you lived here long?

727
00:22:53,070 --> 00:22:55,260
- Well, not much more

728
00:22:53,070 --> 00:22:55,260
than a year.

729
00:22:53,070 --> 00:22:55,260
- Hello.

730
00:22:55,340 --> 00:22:57,100
I simply don't believe it.

731
00:22:57,170 --> 00:22:59,230
Was it for this lovely creature

732
00:22:59,310 --> 00:23:01,000
that I stood at the fount

733
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,510
and renounced the devil

734
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,510
and all his works?

735
00:23:02,580 --> 00:23:06,740
How absolutely delightful

736
00:23:02,580 --> 00:23:06,740
to see you again.

737
00:23:06,810 --> 00:23:07,750
[Evie chuckles]

738
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:09,940
We'll have a wonderful

739
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:09,940
evening together.

740
00:23:10,020 --> 00:23:14,510
[Music playing]

[Inaudible]

742
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:45,750
Oh!

743
00:23:45,820 --> 00:23:47,580
Hello, I'm Sebastian,

744
00:23:45,820 --> 00:23:47,580
who are you?

745
00:23:47,660 --> 00:23:48,990
Daphne Haycock.

746
00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:51,720
Daphne? That's a lovely name

747
00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:51,720
for a lovely girl.

748
00:23:51,790 --> 00:23:53,950
Oh, shush, shush, shush,

749
00:23:51,790 --> 00:23:53,950
shush, shush.

750
00:23:54,030 --> 00:23:56,460
Tell me, I saw you with

751
00:23:54,030 --> 00:23:56,460
that chap over there,

752
00:23:56,530 --> 00:23:57,730
the one ordering drinks.

753
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,600
Are you alone,

754
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,600
or is he your man?

755
00:23:59,670 --> 00:24:00,830
DAPHNE: Earnest Arthur.

756
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:03,270
We call him Earnest

757
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:03,270
because that's what he is.

758
00:24:03,340 --> 00:24:05,170
Even if he's trying to

759
00:24:03,340 --> 00:24:05,170
enjoy himself.

760
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,070
He's, uh, he's a regular

761
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,070
member here?

762
00:24:07,140 --> 00:24:10,700
Darling, he's a founding member

763
00:24:07,140 --> 00:24:10,700
and a joint owner and director,

764
00:24:10,780 --> 00:24:13,370
sitting on a little gold mine,

765
00:24:10,780 --> 00:24:13,370
if you ask me.

766
00:24:13,450 --> 00:24:16,110
So it would seem.

767
00:24:16,180 --> 00:24:17,780
Come on, that's enough of that.

768
00:24:17,850 --> 00:24:18,880
Where are we going?

769
00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:20,290
What do you want to drink?

770
00:24:20,350 --> 00:24:21,950
Anything, darling,

771
00:24:20,350 --> 00:24:21,950
anything.

772
00:24:22,020 --> 00:24:24,620
So long as it's cool

773
00:24:22,020 --> 00:24:24,620
and strong.

DESMOND:

790
00:24:52,390 --> 00:24:54,950
I'm sorry that Arthur

791
00:24:55,020 --> 00:24:56,990
wouldn't be your guarantor.

792
00:24:57,060 --> 00:24:59,750
He didn't believe in us,

793
00:24:57,060 --> 00:24:59,750
like everybody else.

794
00:24:59,830 --> 00:25:01,850
No matter.

795
00:25:01,930 --> 00:25:04,660
Thank you for this, Desmond.

796
00:25:04,730 --> 00:25:08,500
Can I ask, how did you become

797
00:25:04,730 --> 00:25:08,500
so successful?

798
00:25:08,570 --> 00:25:10,700
True success is rarity.

799
00:25:10,770 --> 00:25:12,430
I was lucky enough

800
00:25:10,770 --> 00:25:12,430
to have a father

801
00:25:12,510 --> 00:25:15,030
who could afford to put me

802
00:25:12,510 --> 00:25:15,030
through school and university.

803
00:25:15,110 --> 00:25:16,770
But the moment I'd taken

804
00:25:15,110 --> 00:25:16,770
my degree,

805
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,140
his financial support stopped.

806
00:25:18,210 --> 00:25:19,940
I had to make my own way

807
00:25:18,210 --> 00:25:19,940
in the city.

808
00:25:20,010 --> 00:25:21,380
So, what did you do?

809
00:25:21,450 --> 00:25:23,440
I joined a firm

810
00:25:21,450 --> 00:25:23,440
of stockbrokers

811
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,850
as a very junior member

812
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,850
of the staff.

813
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,820
I watched and listened

814
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,820
to my seniors, and I began to

815
00:25:28,890 --> 00:25:30,550
learn how the exchange worked.

816
00:25:30,620 --> 00:25:33,530
There was money

817
00:25:30,620 --> 00:25:33,530
to be made from money,

818
00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:35,060
buying currency low

819
00:25:35,130 --> 00:25:36,290
and selling it high.

820
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:37,460
EVIE: So, you think

821
00:25:37,530 --> 00:25:40,830
making money is more important

822
00:25:37,530 --> 00:25:40,830
than making things,

823
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:42,160
items people need?

824
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,300
Ah, the creative part

825
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,300
of investment

826
00:25:44,370 --> 00:25:46,970
comes from encouraging

827
00:25:44,370 --> 00:25:46,970
the right undertakings,

828
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,910

829
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,910

Beatrice is right,

837
00:25:54,350 --> 00:25:57,650
it's a fair point.

838
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,450
But there are other aspects to

839
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,450

841
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,010

842

Don't you ever rely on

843

00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,900
the wrong instincts.

855
00:26:18,970 --> 00:26:20,570
So, your instincts tell you that

856

what Evie and I are trying to

857
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,480

00:30:56,550 --> 00:30:59,750
last 17 hours, Arthur?

971
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,990
What do you think you look like?

972
00:31:05,060 --> 00:31:07,360
Well, the livery dinner

973
00:31:05,060 --> 00:31:07,360
degenerated, rather.

974
00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:10,120
Several of us went off to

975
00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:10,120
some night spot, rather.

976
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,330
I don't believe this.

977
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,060
That we went off

978
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,060
to a nightclub?

979
00:31:14,130 --> 00:31:16,370
Was it that 25 Club?

980
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,000
It all became

981
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,000
rather lively.

982
00:31:19,070 --> 00:31:22,200
Oh, Daphne -- Daphne Haycock

983
00:31:19,070 --> 00:31:22,200
and her set were there.

984
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,540
All fooling around,

985
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,540
having a high old time,

986
00:31:24,610 --> 00:31:26,170
when there was a police raid.

987
00:31:26,250 --> 00:31:27,580
The lot of us were there.

988
00:31:27,650 --> 00:31:29,780
Sonny Barbton,

989
00:31:27,650 --> 00:31:29,780
Trudy Blount, Daphne.

990
00:31:29,850 --> 00:31:31,080
Mother...

991
00:31:31,150 --> 00:31:33,050
We simply appeared before

992
00:31:31,150 --> 00:31:33,050
a bench of magistrates,

993
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,050
that's all.

994
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,890
People are always being arrested

995
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,890
in nightclubs.

996
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,520
Flappers and playboys,

997
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,520
perhaps,

998
00:31:38,590 --> 00:31:40,080
but not solicitors.

999
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,220
Mother, there'll be no outcome

1000
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,220
to this at all, believe me.

1001
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:45,200
It's over and done with.

1002
00:31:46,270 --> 00:31:47,930
During their raid,

1003
00:31:46,270 --> 00:31:47,930
the Metropolitan Police

1004
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,630
uncovered not merely another

1005
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,630
private club

1006
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:54,330
dispensing alcoholic drinks

1007
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:54,330
beyond the hours of its license,

1008
00:31:54,410 --> 00:31:59,070
but a club on whose premises

1009
00:31:54,410 --> 00:31:59,070
proscribed drugs

1010
00:31:59,150 --> 00:32:01,710
could freely be bought for

1011
00:31:59,150 --> 00:32:01,710
immediate consumption

1012
00:32:01,780 --> 00:32:04,310
on those premises.

1013
00:32:04,380 --> 00:32:08,120
I speak of opium,

1014
00:32:04,380 --> 00:32:08,120
gentlemen of the jury.

1015
00:32:08,190 --> 00:32:10,560
I speak of cocaine.

1016
00:32:10,620 --> 00:32:13,180
I speak of insidious

1017
00:32:10,620 --> 00:32:13,180
and invidious drugs

1018
00:32:13,260 --> 00:32:17,160
that can lead only to sickness,

1019
00:32:13,260 --> 00:32:17,160
madness, and death.

1020
00:32:17,230 --> 00:32:19,930
I shall further prove,

1021
00:32:17,230 --> 00:32:19,930
gentlemen,

1022
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,530
that the owners and directors of

1023
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,530
the 25 Club

1024
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:28,230
had been ferrying

1025
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:28,230
by the shipload

1026
00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:30,300
regular supplies of whiskey

1027
00:32:30,380 --> 00:32:33,750
to the shores of

1028
00:32:30,380 --> 00:32:33,750
the United States of America

1029
00:32:33,810 --> 00:32:35,680
for an outrageous profit.

1030
00:32:35,750 --> 00:32:37,720
And clandestinely.

1031
00:32:37,780 --> 00:32:41,350
Clandestinely, since the sale

1032
00:32:37,780 --> 00:32:41,350
and consumption

1033
00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:44,950
of alcoholic beverages

1034
00:32:41,420 --> 00:32:44,950
is expressly forbidden

1035
00:32:45,030 --> 00:32:48,190
by the laws of those

1036
00:32:45,030 --> 00:32:48,190
United States.

1037
00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:53,260
This is a trial not of careless

1038
00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:53,260
and foolish infringes

1039
00:32:53,330 --> 00:32:56,030
of some minor law.

1040
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:59,230
No, what we have on trial here

1041
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:03,330
are three corrupt

1042
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:03,330
and cynical renegades

1043
00:33:03,410 --> 00:33:05,210
whose punishment

1044
00:33:03,410 --> 00:33:05,210
must be exemplary

1045
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,650
and rigorous.

1046
00:33:07,710 --> 00:33:11,450
What I am pained to point out,

1047
00:33:07,710 --> 00:33:11,450
gentlemen of the jury,

1048
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,150
is that I am defending not all

1049
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,150
three of the accused,

1050
00:33:15,220 --> 00:33:16,380
but my clients,

1051
00:33:16,460 --> 00:33:20,620
Miss Susan Hofman

1052
00:33:16,460 --> 00:33:20,620
and Mr. Peter Lo-Ching.

1053
00:33:20,690 --> 00:33:22,750
Two honest and hard-working

1054
00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:24,320
citizens of this country,

1055
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,630
who for some time

1056
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,630
have been running

1057
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:29,260
a respectable

1058
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:29,260
and popular club.

1059
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:32,600
My clients have been

1060
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:32,600
criminally duped

1061
00:33:32,670 --> 00:33:34,640
by the third defendant,

1062
00:33:34,710 --> 00:33:38,080
Mr. Arthur Eliott, whose

1063
00:33:34,710 --> 00:33:38,080
detestable adventures

1064
00:33:38,140 --> 00:33:41,310
into drug peddling

1065
00:33:38,140 --> 00:33:41,310
and prohibition breaking

1066
00:33:41,380 --> 00:33:45,940
were carried on entirely

1067
00:33:41,380 --> 00:33:45,940
unknown to my clients.

1068
00:33:46,020 --> 00:33:49,290
Arthur Eliott

1069
00:33:46,020 --> 00:33:49,290
is the éminence grise,

1070
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,760
the power behind the throne.

1071
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:54,320
He, and he alone,

1072
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:54,320
is responsible for

1073
00:33:54,390 --> 00:33:57,960
the wickedness that has been

1074
00:33:54,390 --> 00:33:57,960
so rightly brought to book

1075
00:33:58,030 --> 00:34:00,130
by dedicated members

1076
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,500
of the Metropolitan

1077
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,500
Police Force.

1078
00:34:05,970 --> 00:34:09,930
M'lord, gentlemen of the jury,

1079
00:34:10,010 --> 00:34:11,500
emotional claptrap,

1080
00:34:10,010 --> 00:34:11,500
gentlemen,

1081
00:34:11,580 --> 00:34:13,440
is used by members

1082
00:34:11,580 --> 00:34:13,440
of my profession

1083
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:15,850
when they know that their

1084
00:34:13,510 --> 00:34:15,850
arguments are weak,

1085
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,080
and the allegations

1086
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,080
without factual,

1087
00:34:19,150 --> 00:34:22,880
provable evidence.

1088
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,420
Moral outrage

1089
00:34:24,490 --> 00:34:27,390
may be good

1090
00:34:24,490 --> 00:34:27,390
for the soul,

1091
00:34:27,460 --> 00:34:31,020
but it is no basis for

1092
00:34:27,460 --> 00:34:31,020
legal judgment.

1093
00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:33,860
And my client,

1094
00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:33,860
Mr. Arthur Eliott,

1095
00:34:33,930 --> 00:34:37,300
has been the object of nothing

1096
00:34:33,930 --> 00:34:37,300
but emotional claptrap

1097
00:34:37,370 --> 00:34:40,600
since the moment

1098
00:34:37,370 --> 00:34:40,600
this trial began.

1099
00:34:40,670 --> 00:34:43,270
Peter Lo-Ching,

1100
00:34:43,340 --> 00:34:45,180
you are an educated man,

1101
00:34:45,250 --> 00:34:48,510
and once you were

1102
00:34:45,250 --> 00:34:48,510
an honest businessman.

1103
00:34:48,580 --> 00:34:51,050
But greed overcame

1104
00:34:48,580 --> 00:34:51,050
your scruples,

1105
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,090
and you began importing

1106
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,090
cocaine and opium

1107
00:34:54,150 --> 00:34:57,020
to be sold with no thought

1108
00:34:57,090 --> 00:34:59,960
to the physical

1109
00:34:57,090 --> 00:34:59,960
or moral consequences,

1110
00:35:00,030 --> 00:35:01,790
to members of your club.

1111
00:35:01,860 --> 00:35:07,390
In addition, and contrary to

1112
00:35:01,860 --> 00:35:07,390
the laws of this country,

1113
00:35:07,470 --> 00:35:09,830
you exported whiskey to be sold

1114
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:12,670
to equally

1115
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:12,670
unprincipled criminals

1116
00:35:12,740 --> 00:35:15,440
in the United States

1117
00:35:12,740 --> 00:35:15,440
of America.

1118
00:35:15,510 --> 00:35:17,640
The Western world must know

1119
00:35:17,710 --> 00:35:22,150
that those who seek to deprave

1120
00:35:17,710 --> 00:35:22,150
and corrupt its countrymen

1121
00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:25,620
can expect nothing but

1122
00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:25,620
condign punishment.

1123
00:35:25,690 --> 00:35:29,990
You will serve three years

1124
00:35:25,690 --> 00:35:29,990
with hard labor

1125
00:35:30,060 --> 00:35:33,690
in one of His Majesty's prisons.

1126
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,750
Susan Hofman,

1127
00:35:36,830 --> 00:35:38,260
yours was not

1128
00:35:38,330 --> 00:35:42,200
the guiding hand

1129
00:35:38,330 --> 00:35:42,200
in this squalid enterprise,

1130
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:45,930
but you willingly

1131
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:45,930
and with full knowledge

1132
00:35:46,010 --> 00:35:48,700
supported that

1133
00:35:46,010 --> 00:35:48,700
guiding hand.

1134
00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:52,470
You will go to prison

1135
00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:52,470
for one year.

1136
00:35:52,550 --> 00:35:56,380
Arthur Richard Eliott,

1137
00:35:52,550 --> 00:35:56,380
there is no doubt in my mind

1138
00:35:56,450 --> 00:35:59,850
that you had any knowledge

1139
00:35:56,450 --> 00:35:59,850
of your partners'

1140
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:01,980
illicit and dangerous trade.

1141
00:36:02,060 --> 00:36:05,920
But ignorance of

1142
00:36:02,060 --> 00:36:05,920
criminal activity,

1143
00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:08,480
when it's being perpetrated

1144
00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:08,480
in a business

1145
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,120
of which you are a founder

1146
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:15,190
and a director, is not

1147
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:15,190
a satisfactory defense.

1148
00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:18,400
You should have known

1149
00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:18,400
what was going on.

1150
00:36:18,470 --> 00:36:20,100
You are a man of law.

1151
00:36:20,170 --> 00:36:23,010
And it is criminal folly

1152
00:36:20,170 --> 00:36:23,010
to allow yourself

1153
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,440
to be hoodwinked for so long

1154
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,440
by your co-defendants,

1155
00:36:26,510 --> 00:36:29,680
Lo-Ching and Hofman.

1156
00:36:29,750 --> 00:36:33,350
I'm fining you £1,000 for your

1157
00:36:29,750 --> 00:36:33,350
reckless disregard

1158
00:36:33,420 --> 00:36:35,890
for the reputation

1159
00:36:33,420 --> 00:36:35,890
of your club

1160
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,980
and for the physical and moral

1161
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,980
wellbeing of its members.

1162
00:36:40,060 --> 00:36:45,230
In addition, you will also

1163
00:36:40,060 --> 00:36:45,230
serve 28 days in prison.

1164
00:36:58,980 --> 00:37:01,380
Ah, Lady Finehurst,

1165
00:36:58,980 --> 00:37:01,380
I caught you just in time.

1166
00:37:01,450 --> 00:37:02,880
Uh, Miss Eliott --

1167
00:37:02,950 --> 00:37:05,180
Your gown? I believe we had

1168
00:37:02,950 --> 00:37:05,180
an appointment.

1169
00:37:05,250 --> 00:37:07,780
I don't know how you have the

1170
00:37:05,250 --> 00:37:07,780
audacity to come here after --

1171
00:37:07,850 --> 00:37:09,220
After what, Lady Finehurst?

1172
00:37:09,290 --> 00:37:12,020
After the disgraceful scandal

1173
00:37:09,290 --> 00:37:12,020
surrounding your relative,

1174
00:37:12,090 --> 00:37:13,060
Arthur Eliott.

1175
00:37:13,130 --> 00:37:14,290
I beg your pardon.

1176
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,660
I would no more wear that gown

1177
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,660
than use a prescription

1178
00:37:17,730 --> 00:37:18,890
supplied by Dr. Crippen.

1179
00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:20,660
I don't think

1180
00:37:18,970 --> 00:37:20,660
I quite understand.

1181
00:37:20,730 --> 00:37:22,570
You'll have none of

1182
00:37:20,730 --> 00:37:22,570
my business, madam,

1183
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,100
and I shall make quite sure that

1184
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,100
none of my acquaintance

1185
00:37:25,170 --> 00:37:28,370
patronize you

1186
00:37:25,170 --> 00:37:28,370
in future.

1187
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,280
It was not my cousin Arthur who

1188
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,280
made this gown, Lady Finehurst!

1189
00:37:32,350 --> 00:37:35,040
Whether you wear it or not,

1190
00:37:32,350 --> 00:37:35,040
your bill is still the same --

1191
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,740
25 guineas.

1192
00:37:36,820 --> 00:37:38,720
If you relish

1193
00:37:36,820 --> 00:37:38,720
another case in court,

1194
00:37:38,790 --> 00:37:40,050
then sue me for the money.

1195
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,110
No one welches on a business

1196
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,110
debt and just goes scot-free.

1197
00:37:43,190 --> 00:37:45,490
Are you daring to threaten me,

1198
00:37:43,190 --> 00:37:45,490
Miss Eliott?

1199
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,150
By tomorrow, your name

1200
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,150
and address

1201
00:37:47,230 --> 00:37:48,390
and the nature of your debt

1202
00:37:48,460 --> 00:37:51,160
will be entered into the books

1203
00:37:48,460 --> 00:37:51,160
of Mssrs. Dun and Bradstreet.

1204
00:37:51,230 --> 00:37:52,760
Within a week,

1205
00:37:51,230 --> 00:37:52,760
no shop or business

1206
00:37:52,830 --> 00:37:53,860
will accept your credit.

1207
00:37:53,930 --> 00:37:55,400
It'll be cash on the nail,

1208
00:37:53,930 --> 00:37:55,400
madame,

1209
00:37:55,470 --> 00:37:57,200
and how will Lord Finehurst

1210
00:37:55,470 --> 00:37:57,200
care for that?

1211
00:37:57,270 --> 00:37:59,470
Get out of my way!

1212
00:38:07,810 --> 00:38:09,980
Lady Haycock,

1213
00:38:07,810 --> 00:38:09,980
your ladyship.

1214
00:38:15,660 --> 00:38:17,780
Won't you sit down?

1215
00:38:17,860 --> 00:38:19,830
Thank you, no.

1216
00:38:19,890 --> 00:38:22,360
How's Daphne?

1217
00:38:22,430 --> 00:38:24,800
As I'm sure you realize,

1218
00:38:24,860 --> 00:38:29,270
she and her friends were

1219
00:38:24,860 --> 00:38:29,270
supplied with drugs

1220
00:38:29,340 --> 00:38:31,100
from that...club.

1221
00:38:31,170 --> 00:38:35,940
Daphne has been inhaling cocaine

1222
00:38:31,170 --> 00:38:35,940
quite regularly.

1223
00:38:36,010 --> 00:38:40,110
That she is yet not an addict is

1224
00:38:36,010 --> 00:38:40,110
no thanks to Arthur.

1225
00:38:40,180 --> 00:38:43,170
As it is, Robert and I

1226
00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:45,510
have sent her to Austria

1227
00:38:43,250 --> 00:38:45,510
to a sanitarium.

1228
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,720
I'm...very, very sorry.

1229
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:57,060
I'm sure you are!

1230
00:38:57,130 --> 00:38:59,860
I don't imagine

1231
00:38:57,130 --> 00:38:59,860
for a moment

1232
00:38:59,930 --> 00:39:02,300
that any of the events

1233
00:38:59,930 --> 00:39:02,300
of the past few months

1234
00:39:02,370 --> 00:39:04,230
have given you any pleasure.

1235
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:08,830
You have failed with Arthur

1236
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:08,830
as I have failed with Daphne.

1237
00:39:08,910 --> 00:39:11,240
[Snorts]

1238
00:39:11,310 --> 00:39:16,180
Arthur's had one kind

1239
00:39:11,310 --> 00:39:16,180
of punishment.

1240
00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:20,310
The rest will be waiting for him

1241
00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:20,310
when he comes out of prison.

1242
00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:24,850
He's ruined --

1243
00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:24,850
in this country, at least.

1244
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,920
And you, Lydia, will lose your

1245
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,920
entire circle of acquaintances.

1246
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,660
It isn't fair.

1247
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,660
It isn't Christian.

1248
00:39:34,730 --> 00:39:37,430
But that's how people behave.

1249
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:42,240
And I don't think

1250
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:42,240
I want to know such people.

1251
00:39:42,310 --> 00:39:45,110
Do we know any other?

1252
00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:50,450
I shall have to make it my

1253
00:39:45,180 --> 00:39:50,450
business to, shan't I?

1254
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:58,360
But thank you for having

1255
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:58,360
the grace to warn me in person.

1256
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:05,830
Goodbye, Lydia.

1257
00:40:08,100 --> 00:40:09,900
Goodbye, Dolly.

1258
00:40:10,140 --> 00:40:11,760
Mrs. Gregory!

1259
00:40:14,910 --> 00:40:17,400
Yes, I understand.

1260
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,070
I'm very sorry

1261
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:22,070
to hear that.

1262
00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:23,550
Yes, yes,

1263
00:40:23,620 --> 00:40:26,450
perhaps when you come back

1264
00:40:23,620 --> 00:40:26,450
from holiday.

1265
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,390
Of course.

1266
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,390
Goodbye.

1267
00:40:29,460 --> 00:40:31,390
Thank you, Cousin Arthur.

1268
00:40:31,460 --> 00:40:33,520
Mrs. Gregory?

1269
00:40:33,590 --> 00:40:35,490
She's had to go away

1270
00:40:33,590 --> 00:40:35,490
unexpectedly,

1271
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,030
so she's canceling her order.

1272
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:40,290
Oh, why don't they come out with

1273
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:40,290
the real reason,

1274
00:40:40,370 --> 00:40:42,360
instead of these feeble excuses?

1275
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,460
Well, at least she telephoned.

1276
00:40:44,540 --> 00:40:47,060
It's better than all those

1277
00:40:44,540 --> 00:40:47,060
letters we've been getting.

1278
00:40:47,140 --> 00:40:48,610
Cowardice, I call it.

1279
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,870
Where I live, we tell people

1280
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,870
things to their faces.

1281
00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:53,440
I just don't understand it.

1282
00:40:53,510 --> 00:40:56,510
Seems the higher up you go,

1283
00:40:53,510 --> 00:40:56,510
the less honesty there is.

1284
00:40:56,580 --> 00:40:57,780
Tilly, we can be just as bad.

1285
00:40:57,850 --> 00:40:59,610
How many times have we

1286
00:40:57,850 --> 00:40:59,610
gritted our teeth

1287
00:40:59,690 --> 00:41:01,310
when customers

1288
00:40:59,690 --> 00:41:01,310
have been impossible?

1289
00:41:01,390 --> 00:41:03,080
Leave 'em to me next time,

1290
00:41:01,390 --> 00:41:03,080
Miss Bea,

1291
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,520
I'll tell them a few untruths.

1292
00:41:04,590 --> 00:41:07,490
Fine, Tilly, and then we'll all

1293
00:41:04,590 --> 00:41:07,490
be out in the streets.

1294
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,190
At least we'll go our

1295
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,190
with a flourish.

1296
00:41:09,260 --> 00:41:11,060
I won't really do that.

1297
00:41:11,130 --> 00:41:13,430
We know.

1298
00:41:13,500 --> 00:41:16,660
I've been thinking...

1299
00:41:16,740 --> 00:41:18,200
It's times are bad...

1300
00:41:20,470 --> 00:41:22,340
Yes, Tilly?

1301
00:41:22,410 --> 00:41:23,900
What are you trying to say?

1302
00:41:23,980 --> 00:41:28,070
Well, there's not a lot

1303
00:41:23,980 --> 00:41:28,070
for me to do, you see.

1304
00:41:28,150 --> 00:41:30,010
So, if you wanted to

1305
00:41:28,150 --> 00:41:30,010
let me go,

1306
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:31,420
I'd quite understand it.

1307
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:32,650
EVIE: Tilly, the thought

1308
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:34,920
hadn't even crossed

1309
00:41:32,720 --> 00:41:34,920
our minds.

1310
00:41:34,990 --> 00:41:36,920
We're not that badly off yet.

1311
00:41:36,990 --> 00:41:38,690
Unless, of course,

1312
00:41:36,990 --> 00:41:38,690
you want to.

1313
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:39,990
Oh, no, Miss Bea!

1314
00:41:40,060 --> 00:41:43,620
I love tidying up

1315
00:41:40,060 --> 00:41:43,620
and making cups of tea!

1316
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:46,130
Makes a change in dressmaking!

1317
00:41:43,700 --> 00:41:46,130
[Knocking at door]

1318
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:47,130
Oh, I'll get that.

1319
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,530
Probably Jack,

1320
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:48,530
run out of biscuits again.

1321
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,590
Mm.

1322
00:41:53,170 --> 00:41:56,140
I wish to see Miss Beatrice

1323
00:41:53,170 --> 00:41:56,140
or Miss Evangeline.

1324
00:41:56,210 --> 00:41:59,610
TILLY: This way,

1325
00:41:56,210 --> 00:41:59,610
Lady Finehurst.

1326
00:42:02,150 --> 00:42:03,310
Lady Finehurst.

1327
00:42:03,380 --> 00:42:05,280
Miss Eliott.

1328
00:42:05,350 --> 00:42:07,790
I hope I haven't

1329
00:42:05,350 --> 00:42:07,790
disturbed anything.

1330
00:42:07,850 --> 00:42:09,760
Obviously not.

1331
00:42:09,820 --> 00:42:11,950
I'll make us

1332
00:42:09,820 --> 00:42:11,950
a cup of tea, eh?

1333
00:42:12,030 --> 00:42:14,550
Not for me,

1334
00:42:12,030 --> 00:42:14,550
thank you.

1335
00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:16,650
To what do we owe this

1336
00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:16,650
unexpected pleasure,

1337
00:42:16,730 --> 00:42:19,430
Lady Finehurst -- I assume you

1338
00:42:16,730 --> 00:42:19,430
received your coat and gown,

1339
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:21,760
they were dispatched

1340
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:21,760
on receipt of your payment.

1341
00:42:21,830 --> 00:42:24,930
I am delighted with them.

1342
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,800
[Sighs]

1343
00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:30,040
I am thinking of

1344
00:42:30,110 --> 00:42:31,910
commissioning another gown,

1345
00:42:31,980 --> 00:42:34,500
something for

1346
00:42:31,980 --> 00:42:34,500
the evening this time.

1347
00:42:37,450 --> 00:42:39,180
I don't think

1348
00:42:37,450 --> 00:42:39,180
I quite understand.

1349
00:42:39,250 --> 00:42:41,120
It's quite simple.

1350
00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:42,620
I'm giving you

1351
00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:42,620
another order.

1352
00:42:45,190 --> 00:42:49,490
I do not condone

1353
00:42:45,190 --> 00:42:49,490
what your cousin did.

1354
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,360
However, he is paying

1355
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,360
for his mistake.

1356
00:42:51,430 --> 00:42:54,370
Have you come here

1357
00:42:51,430 --> 00:42:54,370
today to gloat

1358
00:42:54,430 --> 00:42:57,770
because we seem to be

1359
00:42:54,430 --> 00:42:57,770
losing customers?

1360
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,470
Do you want my business?

1361
00:42:59,540 --> 00:43:01,870
And if we decided

1362
00:42:59,540 --> 00:43:01,870
to make you another gown,

1363
00:43:01,940 --> 00:43:03,470
would you

1364
00:43:01,940 --> 00:43:03,470
refuse to pay again?

1365
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:06,010
I would give you a check

1366
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:06,010
in advance.

1367
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,350
What is it

1368
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,350
you really want?

1369
00:43:09,420 --> 00:43:11,750
After you came to see me,

1370
00:43:11,820 --> 00:43:16,220
I felt I had been

1371
00:43:11,820 --> 00:43:16,220
somewhat hard on you.

1372
00:43:16,290 --> 00:43:19,490
You've had

1373
00:43:16,290 --> 00:43:19,490
a change of heart?

1374
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,460
Isn't one allowed

1375
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,460
to change one's mind?

1376
00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:28,390
Whatever your reasons,

1377
00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:28,390
Lady Finehurst,

1378
00:43:28,470 --> 00:43:30,700
I'm afraid we cannot

1379
00:43:28,470 --> 00:43:30,700
accept your order.

1380
00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:35,700
We have our principles, too.

1381
00:43:35,780 --> 00:43:40,370
I see.

1382
00:43:40,450 --> 00:43:42,240
Miss Eliott,

1383
00:43:40,450 --> 00:43:42,240
it is hard to apologize

1384
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,840
and admit that

1385
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,840
one was wrong.

1386
00:43:45,590 --> 00:43:50,110
I accept...

1387
00:43:45,590 --> 00:43:50,110
and admire your principles.

1388
00:43:50,190 --> 00:43:54,790
In your position,

1389
00:43:50,190 --> 00:43:54,790
I would have done the same.

1390
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,600
Not many people have had

1391
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,600
the courage to stand up to me.

1392
00:44:04,670 --> 00:44:07,000
Whether you accept

1393
00:44:04,670 --> 00:44:07,000
my order or not

1394
00:44:07,070 --> 00:44:09,800
is entirely up to you.

1395
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,350
But my hope is

1396
00:44:12,410 --> 00:44:15,010
that you will.

1397
00:44:21,850 --> 00:44:23,880
Good luck then.

1398
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,730
[Honking]

1399
00:44:41,740 --> 00:44:43,470
WOMAN: Arthur!

1400
00:45:00,130 --> 00:45:03,590
It's been a long month, Arthur.

1401
00:45:06,670 --> 00:45:10,900
You have had plenty of time to

1402
00:45:06,670 --> 00:45:10,900
think about your future.

1403
00:45:10,970 --> 00:45:14,240
What are you

1404
00:45:10,970 --> 00:45:14,240
going to do?

1405
00:45:14,310 --> 00:45:16,500
When we get home,

1406
00:45:14,310 --> 00:45:16,500
I shall have a long bath,

1407
00:45:16,580 --> 00:45:18,940
stiff drink,

1408
00:45:19,010 --> 00:45:23,210
a change of clothes --

1409
00:45:19,010 --> 00:45:23,210
I stink of prison.

1410
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,410
[Sighs]

1411
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,420
And I'll arrange to visit

1412
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,420
Beatrice and Evangeline.

1413
00:45:28,490 --> 00:45:31,690
I hardly think you'll receive

1414
00:45:28,490 --> 00:45:31,690
a warm welcome from them.

1415
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,160
I'm not so sure

1416
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,160
about that.

1417
00:45:34,230 --> 00:45:37,200
But I need to keep one step

1418
00:45:34,230 --> 00:45:37,200
ahead of the Law Society.

1419
00:45:37,260 --> 00:45:39,060
To do so, I must

1420
00:45:37,260 --> 00:45:39,060
talk to the girls,

1421
00:45:39,130 --> 00:45:41,860
and pretty damn quick.

1422
00:45:41,930 --> 00:45:46,530
Thursday the 12th at 11:30?

1423
00:45:46,610 --> 00:45:49,040
Thank you so much,

1424
00:45:46,610 --> 00:45:49,040
Mrs. Quaballe.

1425
00:45:49,110 --> 00:45:51,670
Goodbye.

1426
00:45:51,740 --> 00:45:53,140
Did say you Miss Quaballe?

1427
00:45:53,210 --> 00:45:56,380
The Maisie Quaballe,

1428
00:45:53,210 --> 00:45:56,380
queen of Belgravia!

1429
00:45:56,450 --> 00:45:58,920
And if she likes our work,

1430
00:45:56,450 --> 00:45:58,920
her whole set is in!

1431
00:45:58,990 --> 00:46:01,580
Everyone young and smart has

1432
00:45:58,990 --> 00:46:01,580
been absolutely delighted

1433
00:46:01,650 --> 00:46:04,650
by Arthur's notoriety --

1434
00:46:01,650 --> 00:46:04,650
they're all flocking here

1435
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:07,460
for the latest gossip

1436
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:07,460
and the newest fashion.

1437
00:46:07,530 --> 00:46:08,890
But Maisie Quaballe!

1438
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,860
So, if you could just get

1439
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:10,860
yourself arrested, Tilly,

1440
00:46:10,930 --> 00:46:12,400
our fortune's made.

1441
00:46:10,930 --> 00:46:12,400
[Telephone ringing]

1442
00:46:12,470 --> 00:46:15,460
Oh, not another appointment.

1443
00:46:15,530 --> 00:46:19,130
Eliotts', may I help you?

1444
00:46:19,210 --> 00:46:20,800
Arthur.

1445
00:46:24,140 --> 00:46:25,700
I've been less than

1446
00:46:24,140 --> 00:46:25,700
frank with you

1447
00:46:25,780 --> 00:46:27,340
about certain

1448
00:46:25,780 --> 00:46:27,340
financial interests.

1449
00:46:27,410 --> 00:46:31,210
Not, I assure you,

1450
00:46:27,410 --> 00:46:31,210
dishonest.

1451
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,340
Yes, less than frank.

1452
00:46:33,420 --> 00:46:35,680
- Why?

1453
00:46:33,420 --> 00:46:35,680
- All in good time.

1454
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,690
But soon?

1455
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,630
In the matter of

1456
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,630
the club,

1457
00:46:40,690 --> 00:46:44,290
what I've never told you

1458
00:46:40,690 --> 00:46:44,290
is that...

1459
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,800
your father put up 80% of

1460
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,800
the money to start it,

1461
00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:48,360
and I put up

1462
00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:48,360
the remainder.

1463
00:46:48,430 --> 00:46:49,400
Arthur!

1464
00:46:49,470 --> 00:46:51,990
It's all in the deeds,

1465
00:46:49,470 --> 00:46:51,990
black on white.

1466
00:46:52,070 --> 00:46:53,540
Is there nothing

1467
00:46:52,070 --> 00:46:53,540
he wouldn't

1468
00:46:53,610 --> 00:46:55,300
spend his money on

1469
00:46:53,610 --> 00:46:55,300
except for us?

1470
00:46:55,370 --> 00:46:57,900
Please, please wait.

1471
00:46:57,980 --> 00:47:00,450
Now, because of

1472
00:46:57,980 --> 00:47:00,450
the trial,

1473
00:47:00,510 --> 00:47:04,310
my stake in the club

1474
00:47:00,510 --> 00:47:04,310
and more of my own money

1475
00:47:04,380 --> 00:47:06,750
has gone to pay the fine

1476
00:47:04,380 --> 00:47:06,750
levied by the court.

1477
00:47:06,820 --> 00:47:08,620
But the rest, the interest

1478
00:47:06,820 --> 00:47:08,620
and the dividends,

1479
00:47:08,690 --> 00:47:10,120
belongs to you.

1480
00:47:10,190 --> 00:47:14,890
Arthur, why have you kept this

1481
00:47:10,190 --> 00:47:14,890
from us until now?

1482
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,060
Embarrassment,

1483
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,060
believe it or not.

1484
00:47:19,130 --> 00:47:21,860
Embarrassment.

1485
00:47:21,930 --> 00:47:24,530
I just didn't want you to know

1486
00:47:21,930 --> 00:47:24,530
that your father and I were...

1487
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,800
involved with

1488
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,800
that kind of world.

1489
00:47:26,870 --> 00:47:28,500
Oh, please, Arthur.

1490
00:47:28,570 --> 00:47:31,910
I was wrong and stupid,

1491
00:47:28,570 --> 00:47:31,910
I admit it.

1492
00:47:31,980 --> 00:47:34,170
What else have you been

1493
00:47:31,980 --> 00:47:34,170
"protecting" us from, Arthur?

1494
00:47:34,250 --> 00:47:35,870
There is something else,

1495
00:47:34,250 --> 00:47:35,870
isn't there?

1496
00:47:35,950 --> 00:47:39,780
I misjudged your ability

1497
00:47:35,950 --> 00:47:39,780
to run a business of your own.

1498
00:47:39,850 --> 00:47:42,080
And so,

1499
00:47:42,150 --> 00:47:44,020
as the executor of

1500
00:47:42,150 --> 00:47:44,020
your father's estate,

1501
00:47:44,090 --> 00:47:45,220
I decided not to disclose

1502
00:47:45,290 --> 00:47:47,350
the full amount of money

1503
00:47:45,290 --> 00:47:47,350
left in that estate.

1504
00:47:47,430 --> 00:47:48,760
I don't believe this!

1505
00:47:48,830 --> 00:47:51,260
In your own best interests,

1506
00:47:48,830 --> 00:47:51,260
as I then thought,

1507
00:47:51,330 --> 00:47:53,600
I set aside certain monies

1508
00:47:51,330 --> 00:47:53,600
from the estate

1509
00:47:53,670 --> 00:47:55,760
and from the sale

1510
00:47:53,670 --> 00:47:55,760
of the family house.

1511
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,770
How "set aside"?

1512
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,000
In a separate account,

1513
00:47:59,070 --> 00:48:01,560
attracting useful interest

1514
00:47:59,070 --> 00:48:01,560
every day it's there.

1515
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,240
- Without telling us?!

1516
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,240
- When we needed it most!

1517
00:48:04,310 --> 00:48:08,210
As your guardian, I did

1518
00:48:04,310 --> 00:48:08,210
what I thought was best.

1519
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,550
Leaving us no say

1520
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,550
in the matter.

1521
00:48:10,620 --> 00:48:13,280
Arthur, tell me this, how much

1522
00:48:10,620 --> 00:48:13,280
money is there in the bank

1523
00:48:13,350 --> 00:48:15,120
waiting for us to use

1524
00:48:13,350 --> 00:48:15,120
as we choose?

1525
00:48:15,190 --> 00:48:20,790
From the estate,

1526
00:48:15,190 --> 00:48:20,790
from the sale of the house,

1527
00:48:20,860 --> 00:48:22,830
but mainly from the club,

1528
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:26,420
you'll be in the possession

1529
00:48:22,900 --> 00:48:26,420
of some £3,000,

1530
00:48:26,500 --> 00:48:29,200
made over to you to manage

1531
00:48:29,270 --> 00:48:31,200
until Evangeline

1532
00:48:29,270 --> 00:48:31,200
comes of age,

1533
00:48:31,270 --> 00:48:34,500
when she'll share

1534
00:48:31,270 --> 00:48:34,500
its control with you.

1535
00:48:38,540 --> 00:48:40,310
If I told the Law Society

1536
00:48:40,380 --> 00:48:42,350
how you've misdirected

1537
00:48:40,380 --> 00:48:42,350
our affairs,

1538
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:44,910
you'd be in more trouble

1539
00:48:42,420 --> 00:48:44,910
than you are.

1540
00:48:53,090 --> 00:48:56,290
I want you to appoint me

1541
00:48:53,090 --> 00:48:56,290
as Evie's legal guardian,

1542
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:57,960
and Sir Desmond Gillespie

1543
00:48:58,030 --> 00:49:01,060
as executor of Father's estate.

1544
00:49:01,130 --> 00:49:04,160
I'll see to it immediately.

1545
00:49:11,340 --> 00:49:14,510
And afterwards?

1546
00:49:14,580 --> 00:49:17,950
Obviously, you can never work

1547
00:49:14,580 --> 00:49:17,950
again in this country.

1548
00:49:23,020 --> 00:49:26,520
I understand.

1549
00:49:38,900 --> 00:49:41,930
I made one very good friend

1550
00:49:38,900 --> 00:49:41,930
during the war.

1551
00:49:42,010 --> 00:49:45,310
He has extensive business

1552
00:49:42,010 --> 00:49:45,310
interests in America.

1553
00:49:45,380 --> 00:49:48,810
He's offering me work as

1554
00:49:45,380 --> 00:49:48,810
a legal advisor in Boston.

1555
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:53,220
I'm sailing next Monday.

1556
00:51:21,910 --> 00:51:25,840
SUBTITLING MADE POSSIBLE BY

1557
