Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,191
Miss Brockless had
the correct references, no?
2
00:00:02,259 --> 00:00:06,047
You know I have no choice.
Two weeks' pay.
3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,721
This was because she worked on
Josie's wedding dress.
4
00:00:08,764 --> 00:00:12,670
I've created a new position for you -
Managing Director, Oxford Street.
5
00:00:12,942 --> 00:00:16,225
- You know me better than I do.
- I've always believed in you.
6
00:00:16,310 --> 00:00:20,866
Why did I ever let you go to Paris?
Whiteleys? - That'll be part of it.
7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,760
It's beautiful. - A palace.
- The police are looking elsewhere.
8
00:00:24,856 --> 00:00:27,948
Victor Colleano. They've been looking
in the wrong place.
9
00:00:28,050 --> 00:00:30,388
Would you like me to dig, boss?
10
00:00:30,958 --> 00:00:32,738
Please.
11
00:00:37,298 --> 00:00:39,298
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,511
Mr. Selfridge, may I get
anything for you and your guest?
13
00:00:42,546 --> 00:00:46,283
Coffee, a pot. Mr Dillon and I have
been putting the hours in.
14
00:00:46,324 --> 00:00:48,444
We just shook hands on Whiteleys.
15
00:00:48,725 --> 00:00:51,652
You're looking at the youngest
department store owner in London.
16
00:00:51,711 --> 00:00:55,071
- That is quite an achievement.
- Thank you, sir.
17
00:00:55,889 --> 00:01:00,508
Hm. I could barely get past
the door three months ago.
18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,107
The English aren't immune
to a whiff of fortune,
19
00:01:03,139 --> 00:01:06,080
which is fortunate for those of us
who lack a title.
20
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:11,776
I don't have any more than I had
yesterday. I have nothing left now.
21
00:01:12,501 --> 00:01:14,646
I've spent the whole of my life
like that.
22
00:01:14,682 --> 00:01:17,783
I put everything into the next project.
That's what I did for Selfridge's.
23
00:01:17,827 --> 00:01:19,729
That's how
I'll turn round Whiteleys.
24
00:01:19,835 --> 00:01:22,015
Fortune favours the brave.
25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,074
Advertise your product or brand here

26
00:02:04,113 --> 00:02:05,953
OK. Perfect.
27
00:02:06,846 --> 00:02:08,160
Hello, Mr Selfridge.
28
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,329
Hello. I'm going to announce my
purchase of Whiteleys, big launch.
29
00:02:12,468 --> 00:02:14,108
I'd love you to come.
30
00:02:14,144 --> 00:02:16,244
My pleasure.
- Great.
31
00:02:21,715 --> 00:02:23,572
Thank you.
32
00:02:24,066 --> 00:02:25,279
Morning, Arthur.
33
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,437
Morning, Roger.
Everything all right?
34
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,488
Well, I haven't
spoken to him about it yet
35
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,314
but I'm going to talk to
the chief about... retiring.
36
00:02:36,616 --> 00:02:39,251
The place won't be
the same without you.
37
00:02:39,645 --> 00:02:41,790
It's the end of an era.
38
00:02:42,067 --> 00:02:46,167
Oh. - I... I know what you meant,
dear friend.
39
00:02:50,430 --> 00:02:53,181
Mr Dillon's accountants
look like children.
40
00:02:53,202 --> 00:02:55,771
About as young as we
were when we started out.
41
00:02:56,042 --> 00:02:57,342
I was never that young.
42
00:02:58,471 --> 00:03:01,987
Okay, Harry, we've been through the
financial reports and we are good to go.
43
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,047
We can draw up the contracts tomorrow.
44
00:03:04,076 --> 00:03:06,031
I must advise you it's a tight turnaround.
45
00:03:06,077 --> 00:03:08,292
All I need to know is if
the company's solvent.
46
00:03:08,510 --> 00:03:09,532
Yes, it is.
47
00:03:09,626 --> 00:03:13,395
Then I'm happy. - Well, I...
- Gordon, trust me,
48
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,649
we know enough to go through with this.
49
00:03:15,678 --> 00:03:20,039
I was merely going to say
I'm with you, Pa. - Great.
50
00:03:20,131 --> 00:03:21,860
Excuse me.
51
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,920
- Ah, the chief.
- This is a big day for you, Mr Gordon.
52
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,099
I'm so pleased you and your father
are going into business.
53
00:03:30,183 --> 00:03:35,300
If I can be of any assistance...
- I'll help with any business plan.
54
00:03:35,334 --> 00:03:39,234
- We have everything under control.
Thank you, though.
- Thank you.
55
00:03:41,294 --> 00:03:43,074
Marvellous.
56
00:03:44,165 --> 00:03:45,757
I know you want this done quickly
57
00:03:45,795 --> 00:03:48,915
but we haven't had time to do
a full assessment.
58
00:03:49,052 --> 00:03:52,292
If there's a problem with suppliers,
outstanding bills.
59
00:03:52,416 --> 00:03:55,767
We don't have time for that.
Harry Selfridge can do anything.
60
00:03:55,821 --> 00:03:57,881
Let's get on with it.
61
00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:05,470
Miss Grove, can I help you?
62
00:04:05,601 --> 00:04:07,807
I was looking for Miss Brockless.
63
00:04:07,956 --> 00:04:11,060
Her whereabouts
are not your concern.
64
00:04:13,011 --> 00:04:16,721
She wasn't here yesterday either.
65
00:04:16,842 --> 00:04:18,457
Is she ill?
66
00:04:18,539 --> 00:04:22,600
- Miss Brockless is no longer
employed by Selfridges.
- What?
67
00:04:22,882 --> 00:04:27,012
You heard. Now back to Fashion,
where you belong.
68
00:04:28,033 --> 00:04:30,293
You've overstepped yourself.
69
00:04:31,575 --> 00:04:34,338
You wait till my father
hears about this.
70
00:04:34,413 --> 00:04:36,391
I think you should speak
to your father.
71
00:04:36,444 --> 00:04:40,631
After all, he's the one who
dismissed her in the first place.
72
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,562
- Father.
- Meryl. What on earth
are you doing up here?
73
00:04:51,651 --> 00:04:53,800
This is senior management only.
74
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:56,860
Is it true you gave Tilly notice?
75
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,120
- Tilly?
- Miss Brockless.
76
00:05:00,365 --> 00:05:02,225
Erm,
77
00:05:02,873 --> 00:05:04,993
I...I did.
78
00:05:05,339 --> 00:05:06,592
How could you?
79
00:05:06,673 --> 00:05:09,520
Meryl, I do not have
the energy for your tantrum.
80
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:14,260
- I don't want a fight,
I just want to know why.
- Sit down.
81
00:05:23,170 --> 00:05:26,980
It seems Miss Brockless was let go
by her previous employer due to...
82
00:05:27,086 --> 00:05:30,019
inappropriate behaviour.
- What inappropriate behaviour?
83
00:05:30,069 --> 00:05:33,932
The term they used was 'scandalous'.
84
00:05:35,193 --> 00:05:38,880
I gave Miss Brockless every
opportunity to defend her reputation,
85
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,592
but she wouldn't, or couldn't.
- So you just sacked her.
86
00:05:43,698 --> 00:05:47,720
- It's best we put this matter
behind us.
- She was my friend.
87
00:05:47,981 --> 00:05:51,291
She was decent and fair,
88
00:05:51,511 --> 00:05:53,860
which is more
than I can say about you.
89
00:06:22,571 --> 00:06:25,881
This isn't simply
a business acquisition,
90
00:06:26,002 --> 00:06:28,221
this is two great dynasties
91
00:06:28,392 --> 00:06:31,037
coming together in a historic union
92
00:06:31,067 --> 00:06:33,907
in order to provide
the best possible service
93
00:06:33,930 --> 00:06:36,648
for customers around the world.
94
00:06:55,031 --> 00:06:58,522
Surely you don't expect us to
actually turn up and work for you?
95
00:06:58,646 --> 00:07:02,154
You've done enough damage already.
Your father'd be turning in his grave.
96
00:07:02,695 --> 00:07:05,393
Mr. Selfridge, will you
be renaming Whiteleys?
97
00:07:05,517 --> 00:07:07,190
There's only one Selfridges.
98
00:07:07,402 --> 00:07:10,489
Mr Dillon, will it be business
at usual at Whiteleys?
99
00:07:10,543 --> 00:07:14,545
It's going to be business and more.
A business reborn.
100
00:07:24,648 --> 00:07:27,112
I couldn't be more proud of you, Son.
101
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,448
Thank you, Mother. It feels like
a new beginning. - It is.
102
00:07:30,609 --> 00:07:33,675
Big day for you, Mr. Dillon.
Step-up from your little trusts.
103
00:07:33,938 --> 00:07:36,203
Those little trusts have made a
lot of people a lot of money
104
00:07:36,259 --> 00:07:37,723
and ain't any string to bother.
105
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,755
Ah, that's right. You and Victor Colleano
promoted that boxing match, didn't you?
106
00:07:41,925 --> 00:07:43,929
You did much business before he died?
107
00:07:44,057 --> 00:07:45,207
Not a lot.
108
00:07:45,292 --> 00:07:48,659
- Why? Did you fall out?
109
00:07:48,734 --> 00:07:51,455
Why on earth would be interested in him?
110
00:07:51,701 --> 00:07:56,301
I'm investigating his death. They
say he'd made a lot of enemies.
111
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,809
I wondered if you were one of them.
112
00:07:59,116 --> 00:08:01,416
What are you insinuating?
113
00:08:02,116 --> 00:08:05,209
No, no, no, come on...
What are you insinuating?
114
00:08:05,816 --> 00:08:08,022
Everyone knows he consorted
with gamblers and
115
00:08:08,058 --> 00:08:09,767
criminals and that's where
you should be looking.
116
00:08:09,843 --> 00:08:13,223
Calm down, I'm only asking.
- Ask somebody else.
117
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,280
Calm down, Jimmy. You're walking
yourself to the gallows.
118
00:08:22,682 --> 00:08:26,422
I can handle men like him.
119
00:08:48,285 --> 00:08:51,907
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't
those documents confidential?
120
00:08:52,043 --> 00:08:55,234
I was merely... that is... I was...
121
00:08:56,737 --> 00:08:58,140
Guilty as charged.
122
00:08:58,558 --> 00:09:01,958
I'm just used to looking after
the chief's interests.
123
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,620
Feeling a little left out, are we?
124
00:09:05,804 --> 00:09:07,904
Come on now.
125
00:09:13,380 --> 00:09:17,302
We just have to accept that
the chief operates in a wider world
126
00:09:17,408 --> 00:09:19,508
we have no part in.
127
00:09:26,071 --> 00:09:29,306
Perhaps you'd like to explain
what the Whiteleys floor plans
128
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,880
are doing spread out on your desk?
129
00:09:32,925 --> 00:09:34,100
Hm?
130
00:10:06,591 --> 00:10:08,320
What are you...
131
00:10:08,707 --> 00:10:11,820
- Go away, ma'am.
- I just want to talk to you.
132
00:10:14,254 --> 00:10:15,700
Stay there.
133
00:10:36,826 --> 00:10:40,046
Is she yours?
- Whose else's would she be?
134
00:10:42,286 --> 00:10:45,860
I take it this is the reason
why you lost your previous position?
135
00:10:48,393 --> 00:10:50,653
You don't know anything about me.
136
00:10:53,090 --> 00:10:55,230
So put me right.
137
00:11:00,672 --> 00:11:03,905
Oh, Mr Crabb. What can I do for you?
138
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,360
Mr Selfridge,
I have a confession to make.
139
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,635
I've read the documents supporting
the purchase of Whiteleys.
140
00:11:14,033 --> 00:11:16,280
That's my personal business,
Mr Crabb.
141
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,122
- That's a serious offence.
- Oh.
142
00:11:19,239 --> 00:11:23,934
- Oh, I feel terrible. I promise you...
- I'm teasing you, Mr Crabb.
143
00:11:25,103 --> 00:11:27,243
How very droll.
144
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,611
Whiteleys accounts are,
to be frank, a mess.
145
00:11:31,785 --> 00:11:35,514
I had to fire the chief accountant,
one of Whiteleys old boys.
146
00:11:35,674 --> 00:11:37,907
It's quiet here at the moment.
147
00:11:38,049 --> 00:11:39,760
I'd be happy to pop to Bayswater
148
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,425
and see if I can impose
some order on the chaos.
149
00:11:42,531 --> 00:11:45,940
I'm not sure what the Selfridges
board would say about that.
150
00:11:45,994 --> 00:11:48,194
I won't tell them if you won't.
151
00:11:49,885 --> 00:11:53,705
Thank you, Mr Crabb,
I would appreciate that.
152
00:12:14,617 --> 00:12:17,280
- Yes?
- Arthur Crabb, I'm from Selfridges.
153
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,660
- I did call.
- Yes. Good afternoon.
154
00:12:20,943 --> 00:12:25,163
Would you be so good as to point me
in the direction of Accounts?
155
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,900
Of course.
156
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,120
Is there anything I can do to help?
157
00:12:47,389 --> 00:12:49,200
A cup of tea, please.
158
00:12:49,516 --> 00:12:51,340
A strong one.
159
00:13:23,818 --> 00:13:26,055
Can I help you, Mr Towler?
160
00:13:26,716 --> 00:13:29,269
No, sir. I'm fine.
161
00:13:30,178 --> 00:13:32,278
Jolly good.
162
00:13:43,961 --> 00:13:47,381
Please don't lock up, I'm still here!
163
00:13:51,884 --> 00:13:55,944
- Mildred.
- If the mountain won't come
to Muhammad.
164
00:13:57,033 --> 00:13:59,613
It's only a cold collation.
165
00:14:00,589 --> 00:14:05,876
A little ham, beef,
tomatoes from the greenhouse.
166
00:14:07,195 --> 00:14:09,395
Look at you, all alone in the dark.
167
00:14:09,544 --> 00:14:11,604
Haven't you done enough
for Harry Selfridge?
168
00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:12,943
- It's become a habit.
169
00:14:13,192 --> 00:14:16,140
I don't seem to be able
to stop myself.
170
00:14:16,180 --> 00:14:19,268
You're too good to him,
I've always said.
171
00:14:19,354 --> 00:14:22,823
Oh.
And you're too good to me.
172
00:14:23,029 --> 00:14:24,380
Hm.
173
00:14:24,821 --> 00:14:26,921
Here, have some tea.
174
00:14:28,419 --> 00:14:31,019
- Oh, Arthur, I'm so sorry.
- No matter.
175
00:14:31,118 --> 00:14:34,760
You couldn't possibly
make it any more chaotic.
176
00:14:48,913 --> 00:14:51,053
Is something the matter?
177
00:15:08,986 --> 00:15:12,806
You were late home yesterday, Meryl.
Is Fashion keeping you busy?
178
00:15:13,071 --> 00:15:15,700
I... I visited Miss Brockless.
179
00:15:15,846 --> 00:15:18,626
Oh, and how is Tilly?
180
00:15:19,310 --> 00:15:21,011
Pretty desperate,
181
00:15:21,451 --> 00:15:25,141
which is understandable
seeing as Father sacked her.
182
00:15:25,383 --> 00:15:27,918
What? Well, when did this happen?
183
00:15:27,989 --> 00:15:33,525
This isn't appropriate, particularly
in front of the children. - I don't mind.
184
00:15:33,788 --> 00:15:36,178
She had a baby out of wedlock.
- Did she?
185
00:15:36,238 --> 00:15:38,460
Did you expect her to talk to you
about that?
186
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:40,473
I was thinking of Selfridges
reputation.
187
00:15:40,510 --> 00:15:42,510
What's that got to do with it?
188
00:15:42,557 --> 00:15:44,785
Work was hell, thanks to Miss Ellis.
189
00:15:44,842 --> 00:15:48,325
Tilly told me she was
engaged to the father.
190
00:15:48,481 --> 00:15:51,805
When his parents found out, they
packed him up and shipped him off.
191
00:15:51,865 --> 00:15:55,685
It was only afterwards
she realised she was pregnant.
192
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,940
You and I can hardly judge.
193
00:16:03,510 --> 00:16:05,610
That was different.
194
00:16:08,860 --> 00:16:12,640
What was different?
- That is quite enough, Ernest.
195
00:16:15,939 --> 00:16:19,810
- I didn't do anything.
- I know.
196
00:16:25,630 --> 00:16:29,253
I'm sorry, I should never have said
that in front of your children.
197
00:16:29,991 --> 00:16:32,506
I have to go to work.
198
00:16:32,910 --> 00:16:35,208
I thought you said
you were going to retire?
199
00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:39,360
I've been at Selfridges for 30
years, I can't walk away in a day.
200
00:16:39,534 --> 00:16:41,515
Have you told Mr Selfridge yet?
201
00:16:41,689 --> 00:16:42,900
Not yet.
202
00:16:43,515 --> 00:16:45,615
But I will.
203
00:16:53,249 --> 00:16:56,278
I'm beginning to get a grip
on the situation.
204
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,400
I'm afraid it's not good news.
205
00:16:59,020 --> 00:17:01,654
Several suppliers refuse
to do business
206
00:17:01,694 --> 00:17:04,734
until several outstanding debts
have been met.
207
00:17:05,111 --> 00:17:07,530
What the hell have those Whiteley
brothers been up to?
208
00:17:07,585 --> 00:17:12,393
Mr. Crabb, contact those suppliers
and extend our credit.
209
00:17:12,466 --> 00:17:15,509
Let them know Whiteleys is
under new ownership.
210
00:17:15,548 --> 00:17:20,497
I've already tried. They won't be moved.
- All of them? - I'm afraid so.
211
00:17:20,724 --> 00:17:24,493
The fact you're new owners makes
them believe there's new resources.
212
00:17:24,582 --> 00:17:26,659
They'll only accept cash payment.
213
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,318
- They want their balance sheets
cleared.
- That's ridiculous.
214
00:17:30,392 --> 00:17:34,360
I'm surprised the accountants
didn't bring this to your attention.
215
00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:39,849
We need to find out
the state of our store.
216
00:18:06,757 --> 00:18:08,938
What about the other stock rooms?
217
00:18:09,016 --> 00:18:12,432
This room leads to the store room.
218
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,957
He's right,
we're almost out of stock.
219
00:18:14,980 --> 00:18:18,700
I don't have any more money
for this. So what's the answer?
220
00:18:18,740 --> 00:18:22,660
- I've used up all my contingency.
- None of us have spare cash.
221
00:18:22,895 --> 00:18:26,655
And if we can't get credit
then we can't get stock.
222
00:18:26,860 --> 00:18:30,646
No stock and we're out of business.
- We'll find a way to solve this.
223
00:18:38,850 --> 00:18:42,895
Good morning.
Madame Rennard. Miss Ellis,
224
00:18:43,158 --> 00:18:47,760
I wonder if you could furnish me
with Tilly Brockless' address?
225
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,350
I'm not sure I hold it.
- It'll be in the staff ledger.
226
00:18:51,433 --> 00:18:53,973
I need it so I can reinstate her.
227
00:18:58,218 --> 00:19:01,578
So you're happy for some girls
to get special treatment, are you?
228
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,131
It seems to me you and your girls
229
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,135
have been giving Miss Brockless
VERY special treatment.
230
00:19:07,251 --> 00:19:11,286
Miss Brockless did not fit. If you
insist on overruling me on this
231
00:19:11,395 --> 00:19:15,100
then I'll have to consider my position.
- Very well, I accept.
232
00:19:15,179 --> 00:19:20,157
- What? - Unless I'm mistaken, you
just tendered your resignation.
233
00:19:20,325 --> 00:19:23,482
That's certainly what I heard.
- I've done nothing wrong.
234
00:19:23,558 --> 00:19:26,262
Then you'll know how it feels.
235
00:19:53,554 --> 00:19:56,470
- Keep your head down.
- I never did nothing, it was all you.
236
00:19:56,487 --> 00:19:58,567
- Oh, really?
- Yes.
237
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,443
Mr Grove, are you quite well?
- Oh.
238
00:20:04,408 --> 00:20:05,951
It was my daughter...
239
00:20:06,166 --> 00:20:09,440
that discovered Miss Brockless
was the victim of a bullying campaign.
240
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,189
It's my duty
to put the situation right.
241
00:20:12,402 --> 00:20:15,922
I'm sorry, but you're
in no fit state to go anywhere.
242
00:20:15,966 --> 00:20:20,229
I know Miss Brockless.
Why don't I go and see her?
243
00:20:21,505 --> 00:20:23,565
Thank you.
244
00:20:23,650 --> 00:20:26,280
Meryl was only standing up
for what is right.
245
00:20:26,380 --> 00:20:28,217
I'd hate to let my daughter down.
246
00:20:28,293 --> 00:20:30,957
I'm sure I can persuade her to return.
247
00:20:32,937 --> 00:20:34,957
Thank you.
248
00:20:36,853 --> 00:20:38,953
Fourth floor, please.
249
00:21:06,695 --> 00:21:08,540
Thank you.
250
00:21:43,891 --> 00:21:45,991
Oh, Mrs Grove.
251
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:51,080
Oh, how are you? - I'm quite all right,
I just had a bit of a turn.
252
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:53,384
- He collapsed.
- What?
253
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,679
I'm feeling much better. Thank you.
254
00:21:56,868 --> 00:21:59,513
Roger... Thank you, Miss Plunkett.
255
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,180
Roger, what's going on?
256
00:22:05,096 --> 00:22:09,744
I think I've been leaning a little
too heavily on my medication.
257
00:22:09,929 --> 00:22:11,940
Well,
how much have you been taking?
258
00:22:12,741 --> 00:22:15,561
Well, I needed to finish my work.
259
00:22:16,598 --> 00:22:18,476
But you said you wanted to retire.
260
00:22:18,557 --> 00:22:19,754
I did.
261
00:22:20,127 --> 00:22:22,914
Then the chief bought
Whiteleys and I saw him
262
00:22:22,971 --> 00:22:26,225
starting a new chapter
and I confess, I....
263
00:22:26,335 --> 00:22:29,420
wanted to be a part of it.
-Oh.
264
00:22:30,077 --> 00:22:33,057
So I've been devising
265
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:36,260
a business plan.
266
00:22:36,370 --> 00:22:39,860
It's stupid, I know,
I shall never go there,
267
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,420
but...
268
00:22:44,029 --> 00:22:47,769
it made me feel like
I had a future, too.
269
00:22:51,342 --> 00:22:52,880
Ridiculous.
270
00:22:52,993 --> 00:22:55,017
I shall retire today.
271
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,991
Has Mr Selfridge seen this?
272
00:23:01,201 --> 00:23:03,942
Mrs Grove, I don't think
we have enough time for this.
273
00:23:04,048 --> 00:23:08,088
Please, just two minutes.
Mr Grove has been working on
274
00:23:08,170 --> 00:23:11,854
a business plan to reinvigorate
Whiteleys. I think you should look.
275
00:23:11,902 --> 00:23:14,021
Thank you.
276
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:22,860
Chief.
277
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,509
The first thing I'd change
is the layout of the store.
278
00:23:28,672 --> 00:23:32,690
It's an elementary mistake to lead
in with menswear, as we know.
279
00:23:32,822 --> 00:23:36,120
It's the women who lead
their husbands into the store.
280
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,323
So by rearranging Perfume,
Cosmetics and Stationery
281
00:23:41,391 --> 00:23:44,360
we can place Accessories
on the floor
282
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,760
and then this area,
which is completely unused,
283
00:23:48,088 --> 00:23:50,360
could be for cross-promotion
display.
284
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,594
So four departments on the ground
floor as opposed to three.
285
00:23:54,817 --> 00:23:57,728
Very impressive. - We could
single some departments out
286
00:23:57,748 --> 00:24:01,296
for a daily sales review.
Perhaps, er, Perfume?
287
00:24:01,382 --> 00:24:03,921
Accessories has the broadest range
of suppliers.
288
00:24:03,968 --> 00:24:07,488
It could provide the fastest picture
of the store.
289
00:24:07,684 --> 00:24:10,796
I wish you all worked
for Whiteleys. Fantastic.
290
00:24:10,885 --> 00:24:14,585
With all you by my side,
I feel I can do anything.
291
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:20,924
Actually, my wife is insisting
that I retire,
292
00:24:21,194 --> 00:24:22,740
and she's right.
293
00:24:23,470 --> 00:24:26,634
It's high time
I started to slow down.
294
00:24:26,787 --> 00:24:31,040
- It's such a shame, Mr Grove.
You'll be sorely missed.
- Indeed you will,
295
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,140
by none more than me.
- Selfridges has been my life.
296
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,455
I shall miss you all very dearly.
297
00:24:46,638 --> 00:24:51,023
Perhaps you would consider
acting as an advisor
298
00:24:51,134 --> 00:24:55,100
to Whiteleys and help us implement
some of these ideas?
299
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,260
- As long as it were no more
than one day a week.
- Of course.
300
00:25:01,219 --> 00:25:03,399
I could probably manage two.
301
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,840
- Jimmy.
- Hm.
- I haven't had a chance
to congratulate you on Whiteleys.
302
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,880
Thank you, Mae.
303
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,824
And
how's everything else with you?
304
00:25:19,923 --> 00:25:24,319
You seemed a little, erm, shaken up
by that journalist at the launch.
305
00:25:24,472 --> 00:25:27,423
- Everything's fine.
- It didn't look fine.
306
00:25:27,505 --> 00:25:31,638
He was just asking about my
business. Sorry, I've got to dash.
307
00:25:43,631 --> 00:25:45,187
- All right?
- Yes.
308
00:25:45,265 --> 00:25:47,005
Oh.
309
00:25:49,495 --> 00:25:51,495
May I get you anything?
310
00:25:52,069 --> 00:25:54,437
I have everything I want.
311
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,280
- Hm.
- Ah.
312
00:25:59,526 --> 00:26:01,300
Thank you.
313
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,244
- I'm not coming back.
- Oh. Have you found something better?
314
00:26:29,313 --> 00:26:31,089
I will.
315
00:26:31,179 --> 00:26:34,580
Your friend Meryl fought
very hard to get you reinstated.
316
00:26:34,639 --> 00:26:39,005
I didn't ask for her charity.
- No, I think you call it loyalty.
317
00:26:39,232 --> 00:26:42,325
Yeah, well, I'm not going back there,
with everyone judging me.
318
00:26:42,397 --> 00:26:45,833
Who's judging you?
- You, for starters.
319
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,040
Darling, I spent five years on the stage.
320
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,481
Do you think you're the first girl
I've met left holding a baby?
321
00:26:51,558 --> 00:26:55,739
- You were on the stage?
- Not a very respectable one, at that.
322
00:26:56,780 --> 00:27:00,856
- What about Miss Ellis?
- She no longer works at Selfridges.
323
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,578
You're very talented.
324
00:27:04,657 --> 00:27:07,922
It would be a shame to see all that go to waste.
325
00:27:10,692 --> 00:27:14,192
I'll hold your position open
until the morning.
326
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,420
Hello?
327
00:27:52,021 --> 00:27:54,721
He's gone.
328
00:27:57,326 --> 00:27:59,220
He's gone.
329
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,400
I should have been here.
330
00:28:20,974 --> 00:28:23,140
I was so stupid.
331
00:28:24,327 --> 00:28:26,787
I thought we had months.
332
00:28:28,284 --> 00:28:30,384
It was very quick.
333
00:28:31,868 --> 00:28:34,088
He just fell asleep.
334
00:28:38,666 --> 00:28:41,406
The last thing we did was fight.
335
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,080
He loved you
336
00:28:45,003 --> 00:28:47,343
and he knew you loved him.
337
00:29:01,978 --> 00:29:03,758
Yes.
338
00:29:07,421 --> 00:29:09,321
I'm sorry?
339
00:29:14,703 --> 00:29:16,803
Thank you.
340
00:29:46,666 --> 00:29:48,686
Roger's gone.
341
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,760
What do you mean, gone?
342
00:29:52,552 --> 00:29:55,212
He passed away this afternoon.
343
00:29:56,109 --> 00:29:57,849
What?
344
00:29:59,736 --> 00:30:01,655
Mr Grove was very ill.
345
00:30:02,439 --> 00:30:05,660
It's something he bravely
chose to keep to himself.
346
00:30:07,456 --> 00:30:10,876
Mr Grove worked here
from the very beginning.
347
00:30:11,923 --> 00:30:15,503
His labours are in every brick
of this building,
348
00:30:16,837 --> 00:30:19,177
every department, every display.
349
00:30:20,825 --> 00:30:24,285
He was as much a part of the store
as my name.
350
00:30:29,394 --> 00:30:31,494
He was my friend
351
00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:37,991
and part of the...
the wider Selfridge family
352
00:30:38,523 --> 00:30:40,300
to which we all belong.
353
00:30:52,681 --> 00:30:54,901
I came as soon as I could.
354
00:30:56,574 --> 00:30:58,734
Mr Selfridge, you didn't have to.
355
00:30:59,528 --> 00:31:02,239
What else was I going to do?
356
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,541
How am I going to look after them?
357
00:31:07,818 --> 00:31:11,774
I don't know the first thing
about being a mother.
358
00:31:12,097 --> 00:31:14,352
You just have to be there.
359
00:31:14,923 --> 00:31:17,910
They're at sea, they just need
something to cling on to.
360
00:31:20,058 --> 00:31:22,431
We wasted so much time
361
00:31:22,544 --> 00:31:26,230
and danced around for years,
Roger and I,
362
00:31:26,401 --> 00:31:29,149
yet we had so little time.
363
00:31:31,287 --> 00:31:34,867
But you were together in the end.
That's what matters.
364
00:31:45,204 --> 00:31:47,839
We certainly knew when Roger
was in the building.
365
00:31:47,922 --> 00:31:53,692
Yes. However much I liked Mr Grove,
I used to be terrified of him.
366
00:31:53,890 --> 00:31:58,180
Really? He was always
delightful to me.
367
00:31:58,805 --> 00:32:02,169
He used to give me sherbets
from the cafe.
368
00:32:02,314 --> 00:32:05,500
This is when I first
went to work at the store.
369
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,321
Roger had mellowed considerably
by your time.
370
00:32:09,349 --> 00:32:13,309
I don't think he cracked a smile once
in the first year, right, Mr Crabb?
371
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,458
I seem to remember there wasn't
a great deal to smile about.
372
00:32:16,489 --> 00:32:19,590
We almost didn't open,
several times.
373
00:32:19,758 --> 00:32:22,126
And we wouldn't have
if it weren't for him.
374
00:32:22,187 --> 00:32:25,940
I remember those days.
I was a lonely assistant.
375
00:32:26,060 --> 00:32:29,780
I used to hide from Mr Grove
when he came down.
- You didn't. - I did.
376
00:32:29,944 --> 00:32:32,743
He must've thought
I was hopping the work.
377
00:32:37,879 --> 00:32:41,019
- Mr Grove.
- Mr Grove.
378
00:32:48,261 --> 00:32:51,381
Thank you for coming. I've arranged
for my car to take you home.
379
00:32:51,437 --> 00:32:56,164
We don't want to be any trouble.
- I think just this once. Thank you.
380
00:33:02,262 --> 00:33:04,755
- Thank you, chief.
- You're welcome.
381
00:33:11,886 --> 00:33:13,939
I'm going up.
382
00:33:14,131 --> 00:33:16,237
That was a lovely evening, Pa.
383
00:33:16,419 --> 00:33:18,759
Good night, sweetheart.
384
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,900
- Good night, Mae.
- Good night. Thank you.
385
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,180
I should be going, too.
386
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,380
Don't.
387
00:33:42,789 --> 00:33:45,009
If I stay longer, people will talk.
388
00:33:48,065 --> 00:33:50,245
I don't want to be alone.
389
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,423
That's not a very flattering reason
to ask a woman to stay the night.
390
00:33:59,073 --> 00:34:02,013
I mean it. Stay with me.
391
00:34:28,795 --> 00:34:31,580
We've entrusted our brother
to God's mercy
392
00:34:31,825 --> 00:34:34,452
and we now commit his body
to the ground.
393
00:34:34,516 --> 00:34:39,278
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes,
dust to dust
394
00:34:39,445 --> 00:34:41,462
in sure and certain hope
395
00:34:41,533 --> 00:34:45,800
of the resurrection to eternal life through our Lord, Jesus Christ,
396
00:34:46,221 --> 00:34:48,714
who will transform our frail bodies
397
00:34:48,813 --> 00:34:52,315
that they may be conformed
to his glorious body,
398
00:34:53,266 --> 00:34:57,684
who died, was buried
and rose again for us.
399
00:34:57,893 --> 00:34:59,978
To him be glory forever.
400
00:35:00,724 --> 00:35:01,782
Amen.
401
00:35:01,839 --> 00:35:03,480
Amen.
402
00:35:04,346 --> 00:35:05,520
It's OK.
403
00:35:05,791 --> 00:35:08,340
Don't cry.
404
00:35:27,380 --> 00:35:30,743
Mae, wait. Let me accompany you.
405
00:35:31,219 --> 00:35:35,119
Harry, we can't do this.
406
00:35:35,204 --> 00:35:38,620
I'm your employee. For heaven's sake. We both have our reputations.
407
00:35:38,695 --> 00:35:41,507
I don't care about that.
I know what I feel.
408
00:35:41,535 --> 00:35:46,717
Then you must know how I feel.
The last few days have been awful.
409
00:35:46,763 --> 00:35:50,101
It's hard to even think clearly.
- Let us at least talk...
410
00:35:50,166 --> 00:35:54,430
No, Harry, not now.I need
to offer my condolences.
411
00:35:58,074 --> 00:36:02,044
- Josie.
- Mae.
- I am so sorry.
- Thank you.
412
00:36:02,616 --> 00:36:07,711
And Meryl, I saw your father
not long before he died.
413
00:36:07,864 --> 00:36:10,577
He clearly cared about you
very deeply.
414
00:36:11,039 --> 00:36:13,293
What are you talking about?
415
00:36:14,586 --> 00:36:17,630
He reinstated Miss Brockless
because of you.
416
00:36:17,775 --> 00:36:22,605
It was very important to him. He
thought the world of you, my dear.
417
00:36:28,706 --> 00:36:30,837
Oh, my dear Meryl.
418
00:36:34,285 --> 00:36:36,827
I was such a spoilt brat.
419
00:36:37,627 --> 00:36:40,389
No, you were difficult and stubborn
420
00:36:40,464 --> 00:36:43,241
and you stood up
for what you believed in,
421
00:36:43,476 --> 00:36:45,113
just like him.
422
00:36:45,255 --> 00:36:48,227
You are
your father's daughter, Meryl.
423
00:36:48,631 --> 00:36:50,617
He's in everything you do.
424
00:36:52,035 --> 00:36:54,295
He was so proud of you.
425
00:36:55,231 --> 00:36:57,331
And so am I.
426
00:37:18,253 --> 00:37:20,856
I hear you've got a car, Ernest.
427
00:37:20,974 --> 00:37:23,160
It's a Roadster.
I have a model of it.
428
00:37:23,598 --> 00:37:25,366
Why don't you show me?
429
00:37:25,462 --> 00:37:28,393
- It may not be the right
time to play with toys.
430
00:37:28,437 --> 00:37:30,697
I'm sure it'll be fine.
431
00:37:34,652 --> 00:37:37,698
I used to look after Ernest
for a little while.
432
00:37:37,831 --> 00:37:39,700
You'll be a great father.
433
00:37:41,304 --> 00:37:43,694
I'm not sure
I know what that means.
434
00:37:43,825 --> 00:37:45,906
Mine wasn't much of a role model.
435
00:37:47,380 --> 00:37:49,220
Mine wasn't around at all.
436
00:37:49,245 --> 00:37:51,351
Doesn't mean we have
to repeat their mistakes.
437
00:37:51,475 --> 00:37:53,584
You have a lot to look forward to.
438
00:37:54,451 --> 00:37:56,802
Sounds like I'm not the only one.
439
00:37:56,976 --> 00:38:01,036
They say with Whiteleys you'll have
a mile of windows in London.
440
00:38:02,100 --> 00:38:03,840
Hm.
441
00:38:07,860 --> 00:38:09,371
Madame Rennard.
442
00:38:09,421 --> 00:38:12,233
Joe Tooby, London Herald. I wondered if I might have a word?
443
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,733
Hardly the time. -How well
do you know Jimmy Dillon?
444
00:38:14,804 --> 00:38:16,026
I've just been to a funeral.
445
00:38:16,075 --> 00:38:17,847
Or do you think I'm wearing black
because it is the fashion?
446
00:38:17,978 --> 00:38:20,944
I'm investigating the death
of Victor Colleano.
447
00:38:21,069 --> 00:38:23,462
So I asked him in the matter of
the Colleano death...
448
00:38:23,491 --> 00:38:26,100
and he acted like I was
accusing him of something.
449
00:38:26,171 --> 00:38:28,271
Were they enemies?
450
00:38:30,088 --> 00:38:33,848
Wait, you asked Jimmy about Victor
at the Whiteleys launch?
451
00:38:33,987 --> 00:38:35,987
Yeah. Why?
452
00:38:36,745 --> 00:38:37,941
No reason.
453
00:38:38,095 --> 00:38:42,235
I'm going to find out what happened,
so you may as well talk to me now.
454
00:38:53,740 --> 00:38:56,661
- He'll be missed.
- He was a good man.
455
00:38:56,785 --> 00:38:59,000
Thank you so much for coming.
456
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:02,580
Bye.
457
00:39:02,620 --> 00:39:04,600
George.
458
00:39:35,820 --> 00:39:40,360
- Josie.
- No, Meryl, you shouldn't
have to see me like this.
459
00:39:42,460 --> 00:39:44,640
You don't need to be strong for me.
460
00:39:48,469 --> 00:39:53,202
Why don't we just try
and be there for each other?
461
00:40:28,700 --> 00:40:31,080
I found myself drawn here.
462
00:40:33,258 --> 00:40:37,318
It's hard to believe. We were here
with him just the other day.
463
00:40:38,966 --> 00:40:41,449
We should do something
with his model.
464
00:40:41,649 --> 00:40:43,649
Put it under glass.
465
00:40:44,174 --> 00:40:47,004
The best thing we can do
to commemorate him
466
00:40:47,119 --> 00:40:49,532
is to put his ideas into action.
467
00:40:49,769 --> 00:40:52,819
We need to find a way
of buying stock first.
468
00:40:53,329 --> 00:40:55,100
I think I have an answer to that.
469
00:40:55,140 --> 00:40:59,934
You could sell sand in the Sahara,
but you still need sand.
470
00:41:00,730 --> 00:41:03,304
Selling the provincial stores
to property developers
471
00:41:03,328 --> 00:41:08,008
means we have warehouses full of
stock with no stores to put it in.
472
00:41:08,045 --> 00:41:13,492
This'll be a temporary fix, but we
can sell the stock to Whiteleys.
473
00:41:13,588 --> 00:41:16,734
So the stores no longer need
to pay for storage
474
00:41:16,810 --> 00:41:20,690
and won't be lumbered with last
year's merchandise.
- Everybody wins.
475
00:41:21,022 --> 00:41:25,342
As Chief Executive of those stores,
I'm happy to offer Whiteleys credit.
476
00:41:25,669 --> 00:41:27,849
What are we waiting for?
477
00:41:45,180 --> 00:41:48,220
The stock needs to be on the shelves
by opening time.
478
00:41:48,260 --> 00:41:50,340
Not a word to anyone.
479
00:41:50,380 --> 00:41:52,520
Come on then, lads.
480
00:41:53,545 --> 00:41:56,385
Our suppliers wouldn't be happy
to hear about this.
481
00:41:56,482 --> 00:42:01,291
You Selfridges are incredible.
- We're just getting started.
482
00:42:14,304 --> 00:42:17,924
Well, this is a pleasant surprise.
Come in.
483
00:42:20,353 --> 00:42:22,453
Can I get you a drink?
484
00:42:24,077 --> 00:42:26,217
I'll come straight to it.
485
00:42:26,980 --> 00:42:29,520
Why did you lie to me?
486
00:42:34,437 --> 00:42:36,797
That journalist. You told me
487
00:42:36,954 --> 00:42:41,125
he just asked you routine
business questions.
- He did.
488
00:42:41,253 --> 00:42:45,520
He asked you about Victor.
- Yes, my business with Victor.
489
00:42:46,897 --> 00:42:51,731
He told me he specifically
asked you about Victor's death
490
00:42:53,070 --> 00:42:56,571
and that you reacted suspiciously.
491
00:42:56,980 --> 00:43:01,080
You think I had something to do with it?
- Did you?
492
00:43:02,500 --> 00:43:04,971
How can you think that, Mae?
493
00:43:05,106 --> 00:43:06,900
I've seen your temper.
494
00:43:07,038 --> 00:43:10,976
Yes. I blow up once in a while
and I'm not proud of it.
495
00:43:11,275 --> 00:43:15,163
But do you really think
I'm capable of murder?
496
00:43:29,423 --> 00:43:31,883
I'm sorry, Jimmy.
497
00:43:32,409 --> 00:43:35,153
May, I know we've had our differences,
498
00:43:36,944 --> 00:43:39,554
but you've been
closer to me than anyone.
499
00:43:39,623 --> 00:43:41,723
Victor's death,
500
00:43:43,530 --> 00:43:46,750
it's upset me so much that I...
501
00:43:48,413 --> 00:43:51,348
I don't know what to think any more.
502
00:43:59,288 --> 00:44:02,480
That reporter works
for Lord Wynnstay.
503
00:44:03,354 --> 00:44:06,694
He's after anything
he can smear Harry with.
504
00:44:07,300 --> 00:44:10,873
I'm his business partner,
I'm fair game.
505
00:44:12,055 --> 00:44:14,949
If they blacken my name,
they bring him down.
506
00:44:15,159 --> 00:44:18,159
You know what
the press are like, Mae.
507
00:44:18,420 --> 00:44:22,613
I'm sorry to say it, but you're
helping them stir up trouble,
508
00:44:22,847 --> 00:44:25,688
for me and Harry.
509
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,460
Mae, have you thought
what this could do to him?
510
00:44:32,256 --> 00:44:34,796
Just how damaging it could be?
511
00:44:37,821 --> 00:44:41,961
Oh, I'm so sorry, Jimmy,
I shouldn't have come here.
512
00:44:47,721 --> 00:44:49,701
Good night.
513
00:45:07,923 --> 00:45:11,669
Now Whiteleys is on an even keel I
need to leave it with you a while.
514
00:45:11,708 --> 00:45:14,236
We haven't balanced sales
against the flow of stock.
515
00:45:14,275 --> 00:45:15,899
We're running out of
stock at Whiteleys
516
00:45:15,900 --> 00:45:19,980
We'll have to close in three days
if we can't restock the shelves.
517
00:45:20,020 --> 00:45:23,856
Mr Crabb told me he asked you
to come back. Now I'm asking.
518
00:45:23,914 --> 00:45:27,090
Why have you been avoiding me?
- I'm not. - I'm not blind.
519
00:45:27,133 --> 00:45:30,380
-Ever since we spent the night together.
- Argh!
520
00:45:30,420 --> 00:45:32,406
Your wife's gone into labour.
521
00:45:32,460 --> 00:45:36,980
Anything solid on Harry Selfridge's new
business partner? -I'm still digging.
522
00:45:36,984 --> 00:45:39,964
Unless it's rock solid,
shut it down.
522
00:45:40,305 --> 00:45:46,175
