1
00:04:38,477 --> 00:04:40,809
Mrs Elton...?
2
00:04:45,697 --> 00:04:47,313
- I think it's coming from here
- From Number Three?
3
00:04:47,977 --> 00:04:49,524
What's the matter?
4
00:04:49,756 --> 00:04:51,645
Escape of gas, darling.
Don't light a match or anything, will you?
5
00:04:52,697 --> 00:04:53,744
Isn't there any answer?
6
00:05:02,506 --> 00:05:04,224
Mrs Page...?
7
00:05:07,756 --> 00:05:11,613
It's here all right.
They must have left something on. 'Wicked waste
8
00:05:12,116 --> 00:05:14,380
- Put something over your mouth
- It's not as bad as that
9
00:05:15,156 --> 00:05:20,003
Corning from the kitchen. I expect.
Left his cooker on all night. I shouldn't be surprised
10
00:05:20,926 --> 00:05:23,349
Comes in late, a bk the worse for you know what
11
00:05:23,956 --> 00:05:27,051
Makes himself a cup of tea
and turns on all the taps in sight
12
00:05:27,862 --> 00:05:30,536
Someone'll blow this whole house up
one of these days, that's what'll happen
13
00:05:31,956 --> 00:05:35,927
My God!
Mrs Elton, quick. Get a doctor or someone
14
00:05:39,097 --> 00:05:42,306
- Mrs Page!
- Where does this thing turn off?
15
00:05:43,317 --> 00:05:44,944
- She's not dead, is she?
- I don't know
16
00:05:45,836 --> 00:05:49,784
- This isn't turned off. I can't turn it off
- Let me... it is off, it wasn't on
17
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:52,247
- it must have been
- it must have switched itself off at the meter
18
00:05:52,796 --> 00:05:54,662
Help me get her to the window.
You take her feet
19
00:05:55,036 --> 00:05:57,744
The poor thing!
What's the point in doing a thing like this?
20
00:05:58,017 --> 00:05:59,826
Just get her into that chair.
Better turn it round to face the window
21
00:05:59,977 --> 00:06:00,830
This'll mean the police
22
00:06:01,286 --> 00:06:05,211
In twenty-three years Mr Elton and me
have never had a speck of trouble in these flats
23
00:06:06,906 --> 00:06:08,465
And now Mrs Page, of all people
24
00:06:08,767 --> 00:06:10,861
- Philip? Are you in there?
- Yes. Don't come in
25
00:06:11,097 --> 00:06:13,828
- We'll be late for the office
- You go on. Tell them I'll get there as soon as I can
26
00:06:14,147 --> 00:06:16,661
- Is anything wrong?
- I said not to come in
27
00:06:17,206 --> 00:06:18,082
- Gas?
- Yes
28
00:06:18,267 --> 00:06:19,974
- She's breathing
- Where's the nearest doctor?
29
00:06:20,097 --> 00:06:22,850
Dr Brown. No, he's on his holiday.
I know. Mr Miller. I'll get him
30
00:06:23,267 --> 00:06:24,348
- Mr Miller upstairs, you mean?
- Yes
31
00:06:24,586 --> 00:06:27,135
- But he's not a doctor
- She's hysterical. Philip. Mr Miller's not a doctor
32
00:06:30,376 --> 00:06:32,526
- See this? Aspirin. Empty
- Oh Lord
33
00:06:32,926 --> 00:06:34,132
And here's the cup.
She ground them in here. Look
34
00:06:34,456 --> 00:06:35,799
She must have wanted to dope herself
before the gas
35
00:06:36,197 --> 00:06:39,212
The gas was off. The tap was turned on. but
the gas was off. it must have run out in the meter
36
00:06:39,567 --> 00:06:41,888
- Where's her husband?
- I don't know. The bed hasn't been slept in
37
00:06:42,206 --> 00:06:43,628
- We ought to get hold of him somehow
- Yes. but how?
38
00:06:43,876 --> 00:06:45,685
She's opened her eyes.
Mrs Page!
39
00:06:48,197 --> 00:06:49,665
Finished... Freddie... finished...
40
00:06:50,656 --> 00:06:52,465
Mrs Page. it's all right. Everything's all right. now
41
00:06:53,817 --> 00:07:01,474
If you would only you knew how happy...
Like sleep, Freddie, sleep...
42
00:07:03,116 --> 00:07:07,428
You must understand...
Forgive bad writing...
43
00:07:09,556 --> 00:07:12,582
Poor Freddie... poor darling Freddie
44
00:07:12,977 --> 00:07:17,221
Don't worry, Mrs Page. You mustn't worry.
You're among friends
45
00:07:19,847 --> 00:07:22,748
She came to, a moment ago, and talked.
She kept on saying 'Freddie'
46
00:07:23,156 --> 00:07:25,716
And something about being happy, like sleep
47
00:07:26,006 --> 00:07:28,395
- And then she said something about bad writing
- Forgive her bad writing, it was
48
00:07:28,786 --> 00:07:32,256
I didn't hear 'forgive'. I just heard 'bad writing'.
We found this on the floor
49
00:07:33,926 --> 00:07:37,396
- How many?
- Twelve
50
00:07:38,406 --> 00:07:39,635
- Where's the bedroom?
- In here
51
00:07:44,836 --> 00:07:46,190
Bring my case, would you please
52
00:07:46,756 --> 00:07:48,520
- A glass of hot water, please, Mrs Elton
- Yes, straight away
53
00:07:57,056 --> 00:07:58,638
Look, darting,
hadn't you better get on to the office?
54
00:07:59,306 --> 00:08:00,831
It's all right for me,
but I don't like the idea of you being late
55
00:08:01,306 --> 00:08:05,527
They'll understand. There's never much in on Mondays.
and after all a suicide doesn't happen every day
56
00:08:06,347 --> 00:08:09,590
He seems toknowhis job all right.
Let's hope it's just attempted suicide
57
00:08:10,116 --> 00:08:15,190
Poor soul. I wonder what made her do it.
Freddie... that's her husband. I suppose?
58
00:08:15,676 --> 00:08:18,998
I think so. yes. I've seen his letters downstairs.
Frederick Page. Esq
59
00:08:19,267 --> 00:08:20,257
I've never liked the look of him
60
00:08:20,536 --> 00:08:23,779
She said 'poor darling Freddie'. That doesn't sound
as if he'd deserted her. or anything
61
00:08:23,956 --> 00:08:26,960
- Then where is he?
- Husbands do, you know...
62
00:08:27,147 --> 00:08:29,058
...occasionally go off on business
without taking their wives
63
00:08:34,416 --> 00:08:35,884
I just wish we could help, somehow
64
00:08:39,317 --> 00:08:40,364
- Yes. of course
- What?
65
00:08:41,697 --> 00:08:44,894
- Suicide note. We should have thought of that
- Who's it addressed to?
66
00:08:45,176 --> 00:08:47,497
'Freddie'. It's in pencil. very faint
67
00:08:48,197 --> 00:08:50,689
'Forgive my bad writing'. I expect that's in it.
She'd probably taken the aspirin
68
00:08:51,006 --> 00:08:53,828
- Should we open it?
- No. It may be wanted by the police
69
00:08:54,302 --> 00:08:58,284
- The police? Oh dear
- I suppose we ought to ring them up
70
00:08:58,647 --> 00:09:02,959
It's a sordid business. isn't it. a suicide?
I wonder if they think of that when they do it
71
00:09:03,447 --> 00:09:07,077
Police and coroners and things.
I suppose we'll have to give evidence
72
00:09:07,397 --> 00:09:09,411
If there's an inquest, yes.
But let's pray it doesn't come to that
73
00:09:09,736 --> 00:09:12,945
Attempted suicide is a crime. anyway. isn't it?
People get jailed for it. don't they?
74
00:09:13,286 --> 00:09:17,018
Well. then. you mustn't ring up the police.
Not yet anyway
75
00:09:17,305 --> 00:09:20,650
We ought to get in touch with somebody. though.
I wish to God her husband would come
76
00:09:20,964 --> 00:09:23,319
That letter proves he hadn't deserted her.
She expected him
77
00:09:24,214 --> 00:09:25,591
- Put it bad! exactly where you found it, darling
- I did
78
00:09:26,194 --> 00:09:28,765
No. Only a bk of it was showing.
It was half behind that painting
79
00:09:31,494 --> 00:09:33,952
- How is she?
- He didn't say, but she's looking better
80
00:09:34,624 --> 00:09:37,036
He's given her an injection of something.
That made her sick
81
00:09:38,435 --> 00:09:42,747
I've got to make some black coffee.
There's some here ready. I'll just need to warm it up
82
00:09:43,444 --> 00:09:45,208
Mrs Elton. we both think
we ought to get hold of Mr Page
83
00:09:45,725 --> 00:09:48,706
- Have you any idea where he might be?
- No. I can't say I have
84
00:09:49,074 --> 00:09:52,396
- Does he go away often?
- Now and then. Not for more than a night usually
85
00:09:53,105 --> 00:09:55,199
- Where does he work'?
- I don't know that he does work
86
00:09:55,664 --> 00:09:58,235
Not regularly. that is.
He's often here all day. I know that
87
00:09:59,744 --> 00:10:02,247
I believe he's something to do with aeroplanes.
Or used to be, anyway
88
00:10:02,605 --> 00:10:04,289
- Selling them?
- No. Flying them, I think
89
00:10:05,084 --> 00:10:08,930
- Test pilot, isn't that what they call it?
- Yes. You don't know for whim company?
90
00:10:09,334 --> 00:10:12,599
No. Besides, I tell you,
I don't think he's doing it any more
91
00:10:13,105 --> 00:10:15,119
She must have some relations
in London we could get hold of
92
00:10:15,544 --> 00:10:17,854
Yes. Mrs Elton. do youknowif Mrs Page
has any relations in London?
93
00:10:18,055 --> 00:10:20,433
- No. I can't say I do
- Can you think of any particular friend. then?
94
00:10:20,794 --> 00:10:25,539
- Haven't you ever heard her talk about anybody?
- No. Always kept herself very much to herself. Mrs Page
95
00:10:25,884 --> 00:10:29,855
- She must have had visitors
- Hardly at all. they always asked for him. not for her
96
00:10:30,164 --> 00:10:31,563
- What were their names?
- I can't remember
97
00:10:31,834 --> 00:10:33,928
Do try and help, Mrs Elton.
This is desperately important
98
00:10:34,194 --> 00:10:42,386
- I'm sorry. Mr Welch. It's the shock
- Yes. of course. But look. Think hard
99
00:10:42,605 --> 00:10:45,563
Can't you think of anyone connected with Mrs Page
we might get into touch with?
100
00:10:46,044 --> 00:10:47,398
Solicitor, bank manager...
101
00:10:50,055 --> 00:10:54,424
- There is her husband, of course
- I know, but we haven't an idea where he is
102
00:10:55,164 --> 00:10:58,816
I didn't mean... No. I can't think of anyone
103
00:10:59,244 --> 00:11:03,784
Mrs Elton, what did you mean by
'There is her husband'? Isn't Mr Page her husband?
104
00:11:05,685 --> 00:11:07,426
- What's her real name?
- I haven't said anything
105
00:11:09,214 --> 00:11:14,038
Look, Mrs Elton, if the police come,
Ml all have to come out anyway
106
00:11:14,624 --> 00:11:16,433
You don't need to tell us anything you don't want to.
But I do think...
107
00:11:16,855 --> 00:11:19,825
...that if you know her real husband you ought
to ring him up and tell him what's happened
108
00:11:20,294 --> 00:11:28,486
I don't know her real husband. And what I do know
I promised faithfully I'd never tell a living soul
109
00:11:30,384 --> 00:11:35,732
It's all because I picked up her ration book one day.
then she told me straight out quite simply all about it
110
00:11:37,235 --> 00:11:43,072
How she hadn't been able to get herself a divorce.
Poor lamb, she thought Mr Elton would tum her out
111
00:11:43,384 --> 00:11:47,514
I found her that evening packing her things.
I told her not to be silly
112
00:11:48,485 --> 00:11:54,834
As if I'd tell Mr Elton a thing like that. It's none of
his business, or mine, or anyone else's, come to that
113
00:11:55,374 --> 00:12:00,289
I'm sure I'm right now, Philip. This man Page
has deserted her, and she had no one to tum to
114
00:12:00,824 --> 00:12:04,033
She's probably quarrelled with her family,
her friends have dropped her, most likely
115
00:12:06,744 --> 00:12:13,707
- So you think I ought to tell her husband about this?
- Yes. Mrs Elton. it seems to me the only thing to do
116
00:12:14,044 --> 00:12:19,044
All right. You do it. I wouldn't know how.
Her name is Collyer
117
00:12:28,525 --> 00:12:31,563
And her husband's name's in the papers quite often.
She showed me once
118
00:12:33,044 --> 00:12:35,934
They call him Mr Justice Collyer.
so I suppose he's a judge
119
00:12:36,275 --> 00:12:39,927
- Sir William Collyer
- That's right. Sir William Collyer
120
00:12:44,055 --> 00:12:44,874
Gosh
121
00:12:46,485 --> 00:12:48,863
- Do you think you dare, Philip?
- I don't see why not
122
00:12:51,985 --> 00:12:53,783
Quarter past nine.
We ought to get him at his home
123
00:12:54,194 --> 00:12:56,344
Whatever you do.
don't tell him you work at the Home Office
124
00:13:00,964 --> 00:13:05,902
Collyer. William. There are two. but one's in Chiswick.
Eaton Square. that's the one
125
00:13:16,574 --> 00:13:18,008
Hullo. could I speak to Sir William Collyer. please?
126
00:13:21,244 --> 00:13:25,636
No. I'd rather not give my name. Just tell him
it's very urgent indeed and that it concerns his wife
127
00:13:27,305 --> 00:13:30,434
His wife... Yes. I'll wait
128
00:13:33,124 --> 00:13:37,357
Hullo. Sir William Collyer?
I'm afraid I have some rather serious news for you
129
00:13:38,185 --> 00:13:39,653
Your wife has been concerned in an accident
130
00:13:41,884 --> 00:13:43,545
It's rather difficult to tell you that
over the telephone
131
00:13:44,540 --> 00:13:47,976
Well, if you insist.
Gas poisoning, and an overdose of drugs
132
00:13:51,134 --> 00:13:54,263
No, but very ill...
No. She doesn't know I'm telephoning
133
00:13:55,764 --> 00:13:56,811
He's not here
134
00:13:57,905 --> 00:14:01,421
27 Weybridge Villas, Ladbroke Grove. Yes.
Flat Number Three, first floor
135
00:14:01,594 --> 00:14:04,825
You'll find the front door open.
Yes. There's a doctor
136
00:14:05,805 --> 00:14:08,866
That's to say,
she's being given medical attention now
137
00:14:11,324 --> 00:14:12,894
- He's coming round at once
- Did he seem upset?
138
00:14:13,164 --> 00:14:15,280
It was rather diffiicult to tell.
He asked if Page was here
139
00:14:17,735 --> 00:14:21,148
- I've rung him up. Mrs Elton. He's coming round
- I only hope we've done the right thing
140
00:14:21,454 --> 00:14:22,615
- I think we have
- How is she?
141
00:14:23,044 --> 00:14:28,869
Sitting up now. Drank her coffee quite peacefully.
Of course. still very weak
142
00:14:29,094 --> 00:14:31,176
Don't you think we ought to get her a proper doctor?
143
00:14:31,964 --> 00:14:35,571
I've got far more faith in Mr Miller
than in any proper doctor. thank you very much
144
00:14:37,055 --> 00:14:41,276
He's done a sight more for Mr Elton
than any of those Harley Street specialists ever did...
145
00:14:41,655 --> 00:14:44,283
- guineas or no five guineas
- How is Mr Elton?
146
00:14:45,044 --> 00:14:47,843
Well. he'd be much better
if it weren't for this damp weather
147
00:14:48,905 --> 00:14:52,864
Shocking for arthritis, it's been.
I've been fixing his pillows all night long
148
00:14:54,370 --> 00:14:57,226
Well. I've got to give Number Six his tea
and I haven't started on my hall yet
149
00:14:57,874 --> 00:15:01,811
Give me a shout if I'm wanted. will you.
Will you be wanting me for anything more?
150
00:15:02,164 --> 00:15:04,258
- No. Mrs Elton
- I'll leave this door on the latch
151
00:15:07,624 --> 00:15:10,685
- Have you a cigarette?
- Yes. indeed
152
00:15:14,704 --> 00:15:20,108
My name is Welch.
I live upstairs in Number Five. This is my wife
153
00:15:21,014 --> 00:15:21,981
Are you friends of hers?
154
00:15:22,204 --> 00:15:26,516
No. My husband found Mrs Page this morning
and we were just waiting around...
155
00:15:26,855 --> 00:15:29,563
- ...to see if there's anything we can do
- There is nothing you can do
156
00:15:30,044 --> 00:15:31,671
- You don't mean she's dying?
- On the contrary
157
00:15:32,014 --> 00:15:34,756
- She'll recover?
- Sixty grains of aspirin is hardly enough...
158
00:15:34,935 --> 00:15:38,144
...to kill a healthy mild, and the symptoms
of gas poisoning are very slight
159
00:15:38,464 --> 00:15:42,526
- That's because the gas gave out at the meter
- Yes. She couldn't have bungled it worse, could she?
160
00:15:44,264 --> 00:15:48,497
I must get bad! to my breakfast and I see
no reason whatever for your remaining here any longer
161
00:15:48,935 --> 00:15:52,815
- Good morning
- But is she really all right?
162
00:15:54,044 --> 00:15:57,036
I've told you. After twenty-four hours in bed
she will be completely recovered
163
00:15:57,405 --> 00:16:01,501
- Yes. her body. But what about her mind?
- You make that distinction?
164
00:16:02,844 --> 00:16:05,734
Her mind is perfectly sound.
There is no trace whatever...
165
00:16:06,134 --> 00:16:09,343
...of any psychotic symptoms
which might justify a certificate of insanity
166
00:16:09,964 --> 00:16:12,968
- Yes. but she did try to kill herself. didn't she?
- So it would appear
167
00:16:13,315 --> 00:16:17,832
- Well, what made her do that?
- She wanted to die, I suppose
168
00:16:18,954 --> 00:16:21,434
- But mightn't she try to do it again. Doctor?
- I'm not a doctor
169
00:16:22,164 --> 00:16:25,418
- No. Don't you think she might try and do it again?
- I'm not a prophet either
170
00:16:26,744 --> 00:16:30,248
In fact I make a fairly respectable living
out of other people's pretensions to prophecy
171
00:16:30,954 --> 00:16:33,423
Still, if you want me to be a punter for once...
172
00:16:33,574 --> 00:16:38,671
...I would say that she probably will try again,
and try again very soon
173
00:16:39,074 --> 00:16:41,611
- Isn't there anything we can do about it?
- No
174
00:16:48,414 --> 00:16:52,874
- Well, there's a callous swine, if you like
- He's phoney, that man. I'm certain he is
175
00:16:53,624 --> 00:16:56,935
He was just trying to impress us
with all that stuff about psychoses and things
176
00:16:58,525 --> 00:17:01,756
Of course she's ill.
Of course she needs looking after
177
00:17:05,685 --> 00:17:07,005
Oh... Should you be out of bed?
178
00:17:07,374 --> 00:17:10,526
I came for a cigarette.
There was a packet here last night. I think
179
00:17:11,065 --> 00:17:13,124
- Have one of these
- No, I won't smoke yours
180
00:17:13,485 --> 00:17:17,297
IknowI brought a packet in with me.
Ah yes. Here they are
181
00:17:25,514 --> 00:17:26,834
Thank you so mum
182
00:17:30,994 --> 00:17:33,531
You're Mr Welch. aren't you?
We met downstairs once. do you remember?
183
00:17:33,985 --> 00:17:35,726
- Yes. that's right
- And is this Mrs Welch?
184
00:17:36,294 --> 00:17:37,546
- Yes
- How do you do?
185
00:17:41,344 --> 00:17:43,199
Do you mind if I sit down?
I'm still feeling a little strange
186
00:17:43,565 --> 00:17:46,762
- Don't you think you ought to go back to bed?
- No. I feel much better sitting up. thank you
187
00:17:47,214 --> 00:17:50,297
- You've been very ill. you know
- Oh no. Just a bit dopey. that's all
188
00:17:51,244 --> 00:17:54,908
Idiotic accident, wasn't it!
I'm terribly sorry for all this trouble I've caused
189
00:17:55,294 --> 00:17:57,456
- Not at all
- I don't know how it could possibly have happened
190
00:17:58,494 --> 00:18:01,327
I'd been out to the cinema by myself.
and I remember coming back here
191
00:18:01,964 --> 00:18:05,468
I remember feeling a bit chilly.
I turned on the gas-fire to light it
192
00:18:06,624 --> 00:18:08,729
And after that, as they say in novels,
I knew no more
193
00:18:09,714 --> 00:18:12,206
I couldn't find the matches. I suppose.
and the fumes must have put me out
194
00:18:12,685 --> 00:18:15,108
it was lucky for you
that you didn't put a shilling in the meter first
195
00:18:15,775 --> 00:18:17,971
- The meter?
- Yes. The gas wt off automatically
196
00:18:18,624 --> 00:18:22,015
Oh. that's what happened. is it?
Yes. Th at was lucky
197
00:18:25,384 --> 00:18:28,206
- Are you sure you're feeling all right?
- Perfectly all right, thank you
198
00:18:28,744 --> 00:18:32,499
- Don't you think you ought to see a proper doctor?
- Haven't I just seen a proper doctor?
199
00:18:33,655 --> 00:18:36,807
No. he's only an amateur.
A bookmaker's clerk or something
200
00:18:37,905 --> 00:18:42,979
A strange hobby for a bookmaker's clerk.
He seamed very efficient. Horribly efficient
201
00:18:43,905 --> 00:18:46,112
Look, I'm sure I'm keeping you both,
and there's really no need to stay
202
00:18:46,815 --> 00:18:48,590
You've been very kind thank you
203
00:18:48,764 --> 00:18:50,004
Well, the fad is I have something to tell you
204
00:18:50,214 --> 00:18:52,706
- Are you looking for something?
- Yes, I think I left a letter lying around somewhere
205
00:18:57,464 --> 00:18:59,000
- Is this it?
- Yes. that's the one
206
00:19:01,494 --> 00:19:03,531
- Sorry, you were going to tell me something?
- You may be very angry with me
207
00:19:04,124 --> 00:19:05,671
- I hope not
- I hope not, too
208
00:19:08,174 --> 00:19:12,543
When we found you this morning you seemed very ill.
almost at death's door. in fact
209
00:19:13,454 --> 00:19:15,331
Mr Page was away,
and we didn't know where to get hold of him
210
00:19:16,044 --> 00:19:18,786
You should have asked me.
He's at the King's Head Hotel, in Sunningdale
211
00:19:19,174 --> 00:19:22,360
- Are you expecting him back this morning?
- I don't think so. he's playing golf
212
00:19:23,124 --> 00:19:27,607
I'm a golf widow, you see, Mrs Welch.
Every weekend I'm deserted. It's shocking. Go on
213
00:19:28,815 --> 00:19:33,127
Well. I felt it my duty to get in touch with someone.
We didn't know where your parents lived
214
00:19:33,525 --> 00:19:36,199
- They're both dead anyway
- Or any of your friends
215
00:19:37,655 --> 00:19:39,794
So I'm afraid I took it on myself
to ring up Sir William Collyer
216
00:19:42,874 --> 00:19:44,296
- What did you tell him?
- That there'd been an accident
217
00:19:45,435 --> 00:19:46,903
- Did you give him this address?
- Yes. He's coming round
218
00:19:47,134 --> 00:19:48,044
- How soon?
- He said, at once
219
00:19:52,185 --> 00:19:54,756
- I'm sorry if I've done wrong. I couldn't know, you see
- No, you couldn't
220
00:19:55,214 --> 00:19:59,526
it was mainly my responsibility. Lady Collyer.
It was I who told Philip he ought to ring up
221
00:19:59,964 --> 00:20:03,298
- Yes, I see. Do you mind not using that name?
- I'm sorry
222
00:20:03,924 --> 00:20:07,861
- it was Mrs Elton who told you?
- She slipped it out by accident
223
00:20:08,964 --> 00:20:11,535
I may say your secret is absolutely safe
with both Ann and myself
224
00:20:12,764 --> 00:20:15,096
My guilty secret?
That's very kind of you both
225
00:20:18,714 --> 00:20:20,557
Well, I think we must be going.
Come along, Ann
226
00:20:21,134 --> 00:20:22,670
You've been very kind. I'm grateful
227
00:20:23,214 --> 00:20:25,216
There's no need. Let me know
if there's anything I can do, won't you?
228
00:20:25,485 --> 00:20:29,672
There is something you can do.
Don't breathe a word of this idiotic accident to anyone
229
00:20:30,374 --> 00:20:31,705
- To anyone else, that is
- I won't
230
00:20:32,105 --> 00:20:34,187
- Do you know my... do you know Freddie Page?
- No
231
00:20:34,685 --> 00:20:38,360
if ever you should meet him you will. above all.
be particularly careful not to mention any of this to him
232
00:20:39,094 --> 00:20:42,644
- it might alarm him quite unnecessarily
- We won't say a word. either of us
233
00:20:43,235 --> 00:20:45,966
Thank you. Goodbye
234
00:20:46,094 --> 00:20:51,112
Goodbye, Mrs Page
235
00:21:33,935 --> 00:21:37,007
- Mrs Elton!
- Coming, dear
236
00:21:42,124 --> 00:21:44,536
You're up. I'm sure you shouldn't be
237
00:21:44,935 --> 00:21:46,846
Mrs Elton. if Sir William Collyer comes.
I don't want to see him
238
00:21:47,285 --> 00:21:49,845
- I'm sorry about that. They got 't out of me
- Yes, I know
239
00:21:50,964 --> 00:21:53,456
- What shall I tell him?
- Anything you like. provided I don't have to see him
240
00:21:53,735 --> 00:21:56,591
Yes. dear. I understand.
Would you like me to make you some more coffee?
241
00:21:57,155 --> 00:21:58,975
No, thank you, Mrs Elton.
There's nothing I need at all
242
00:21:59,605 --> 00:22:03,314
- When's Mr Page coming home?
- I don't mow. Some time this evening. I expect
243
00:22:03,685 --> 00:22:06,734
I'll come and sit with you, if you like, until then.
I've just got to finish my work
244
00:22:06,954 --> 00:22:09,127
No thank you,
I shall be perfectly all right alone
245
00:22:09,574 --> 00:22:11,656
- Will you. dear? Are you sure?
- Yes. You can trust me
246
00:22:12,294 --> 00:22:13,614
- Oh, I didn't mean that
- Didn't you?
247
00:22:16,065 --> 00:22:18,329
Whatever possessed you
to do a dreadful thing like that?
248
00:22:21,074 --> 00:22:25,090
- The devil, I suppose
- I should just think it was. Are you a Catholic?
249
00:22:25,655 --> 00:22:28,829
No. I didn't mean that kind of devil.
Or is it the same kind?
250
00:22:30,544 --> 00:22:34,549
Anyway, when you're trapped between
any kind of devil and the deep blue sea...
251
00:22:35,435 --> 00:22:38,678
...sometimes the deep blue sea seems very inviting.
It did last night
252
00:22:41,235 --> 00:22:45,126
I can't make you out.
You're not a wicked woman
253
00:22:45,844 --> 00:22:49,587
And yet what you did last night was wicked.
wicked and cruel
254
00:22:51,485 --> 00:22:55,513
Now supposing it had been Mr Page and not you
that we'd found lying there this morning...
255
00:22:56,044 --> 00:22:58,297
- ...how would you have felt?
- Very, very surprised
256
00:23:00,204 --> 00:23:04,766
- Nothing more?
- Oh yes. A lot more. A whole universe more
257
00:23:05,535 --> 00:23:09,392
He's not lying there. He's playing golf.
And when he comes bad! from golf...
258
00:23:09,574 --> 00:23:13,010
...he must know nothing of what happened last night.
Do you understand, Mrs Elton? Nothing
259
00:23:13,644 --> 00:23:15,555
- if that's the way you want it
- Yes. that is the way I want it
260
00:23:15,994 --> 00:23:18,144
- It's not money, is it, dear?
- No, it's not money
261
00:23:18,624 --> 00:23:22,265
Because if it is, I was going to say...
about this flat...
262
00:23:22,924 --> 00:23:29,876
Mrs Elton. you're very kind and I'm deeply grateful.
But I couldn't possibly accept
263
00:23:31,094 --> 00:23:34,371
I know we owe you a month's rent.
But it will be paid. I promise you. in a day or two
264
00:23:34,964 --> 00:23:37,661
In fact I've got someone very interested
in those two pictures there
265
00:23:38,644 --> 00:23:41,625
Oh yes. Very nice
266
00:23:44,204 --> 00:23:46,514
- That's a pier, isn't it?
- Weymouth Pier
267
00:23:47,355 --> 00:23:49,926
Oh yes. You can tell at once.
Very clever
268
00:23:51,824 --> 00:23:55,613
- How much would you get for a thing like that?
- Well. for the two I'm asking twenty-five pounds
269
00:23:56,454 --> 00:23:59,060
Are you really? Well, I never
270
00:24:02,454 --> 00:24:06,436
Excuse me asking you. won't you.
but is Mr Page in a job just now?
271
00:24:07,254 --> 00:24:10,565
Not exactly. Not at the moment.
But he has interests in the city, you know
272
00:24:11,174 --> 00:24:15,725
Oh yes? Well, perhaps he'll get himself something
steady soon. It shouldn't be too hard these days
273
00:24:29,764 --> 00:24:32,233
- Mrs Page?
- I'm sorry, sir, you can't come in
274
00:24:32,535 --> 00:24:34,503
- Mrs Page is too ill to be bothered
- Tell her to go
275
00:24:37,035 --> 00:24:38,230
Thank you, Mrs Elton. It's all right
276
00:24:53,315 --> 00:24:54,476
- Are you all right?
- Quite all right
277
00:24:55,714 --> 00:24:57,887
- What happened?
- How much did that boy tell you on the telephone?
278
00:24:59,315 --> 00:25:03,695
- Enough to spare you the necessity of lying to me
- I must be careful what I say
279
00:25:04,735 --> 00:25:06,726
- Attempted suicide is a crime. isn't it?
- Yes
280
00:25:07,185 --> 00:25:09,222
- And I'm speaking to a judge
- You're speaking to your husband
281
00:25:10,355 --> 00:25:11,356
Shall we say, crise de nerfs?
282
00:25:11,544 --> 00:25:15,913
- Nonsense. You're as sane a person as any in the world
- Perhaps I've changed since I left you. Bill
283
00:25:16,685 --> 00:25:18,915
No. I'd better not say that. it might give you
an opportunity of saying I told you so
284
00:25:19,504 --> 00:25:22,235
- You misjudge me
- Misjudge a judge? Isn't that lรจse-majestรฉ?
285
00:25:25,735 --> 00:25:27,157
Why didn't you tell me you were bad! in London?
286
00:25:28,144 --> 00:25:30,533
The last time I saw you,
you said you never wanted to hear from me again
287
00:25:30,954 --> 00:25:32,467
The last time I saw you I didn't know what I was saying
288
00:25:33,594 --> 00:25:37,224
- How long have you been bad! from Canada?
- Oh, about three or four months now
289
00:25:38,065 --> 00:25:40,591
Freddie lost his job you see.
That's to say, he gave it up
290
00:25:41,285 --> 00:25:43,447
it wasn't a very good one.
and we neither of us liked Ottawa very much
291
00:25:44,674 --> 00:25:46,529
- Why didn't you answer my letter?
- I never got a letter
292
00:25:46,954 --> 00:25:49,719
Didn't you? I addressed it to the aircraft firm
in Ottawa, and put 'please forward'
293
00:25:50,144 --> 00:25:52,693
We left rather hurriedly,
I forgot to leave a forwarding address
294
00:25:52,954 --> 00:25:53,910
What did you say in the letter, Bill?
295
00:25:54,464 --> 00:25:56,353
Just that you could have your divorce
if you still wanted it
296
00:25:57,735 --> 00:25:59,635
Not having received a reply
I'm afraid I've taken no steps
297
00:26:00,044 --> 00:26:07,064
No? That was generous of you, Bill.
Still I should have thought what you said before...
298
00:26:07,254 --> 00:26:09,393
...about the scandal would be
even more operative now that you're a judge
299
00:26:09,594 --> 00:26:13,690
What I said before was exaggerated. I wanted to put
every difficulty in your way that I possibly could
300
00:26:15,454 --> 00:26:18,310
Sit down. Bill. now you're here.
It's nice to see you again
301
00:26:19,964 --> 00:26:21,910
- Have a cigarette?
- No thank you
302
00:26:26,655 --> 00:26:29,716
- Has he deserted you?
- He's playing golf in Sunningdale
303
00:26:31,435 --> 00:26:33,233
He plays there a lot these days.
I wonder you haven't run into him
304
00:26:33,565 --> 00:26:37,786
- I haven't been back to Sunningdale since...
- You still feel so strongly?
305
00:26:38,214 --> 00:26:40,842
- You know I do
- I know you did. But after all this time?
306
00:26:42,815 --> 00:26:45,728
I suppose ten months isn't very long.
It keeps seeming so much longer
307
00:26:46,174 --> 00:26:48,302
- Does it?
- Yes, Bill. Almost a lifetime
308
00:26:50,174 --> 00:26:51,699
- Is he being unfaithful to you?
- No
309
00:26:52,044 --> 00:26:54,172
- He still loves you?
- As much as he did ten months ago
310
00:26:54,405 --> 00:26:56,146
- And you still love him?
- Yes, Bill. I still love him
311
00:26:56,435 --> 00:26:57,732
- Is it money?
- No. It isn't money
312
00:26:58,044 --> 00:26:59,955
- He's got a job?
- Not as a test pilot
313
00:27:00,435 --> 00:27:03,882
He gave that up some time ago.
He's working in the city now. you see
314
00:27:04,204 --> 00:27:06,275
What, in a job in where they allow him
to play golf on a Monday?
315
00:27:07,935 --> 00:27:10,700
- It's a sort of freelance job, you see
- Yes, I see. What salary is he on?
316
00:27:10,964 --> 00:27:11,977
Bill, you're on the wrong trad!
317
00:27:12,435 --> 00:27:14,551
All right. We do owe two months' rent,
but moneys got nothing to do with it
318
00:27:14,844 --> 00:27:16,699
- What is it then?
- Bill. I'm not in the witness box
319
00:27:17,044 --> 00:27:20,878
You'll never get me to confess that I had
any reason for trying to kill myself last night
320
00:27:21,065 --> 00:27:23,477
- Any logical reason, that is
- But you did try to kill yourself?
321
00:27:23,874 --> 00:27:26,525
While the balance of my mind was
temporarily disturbed. Isn't that the legal phrase?
322
00:27:26,985 --> 00:27:29,420
- What was it that disturbed the balance of your mind?
- I don't mow
323
00:27:29,714 --> 00:27:33,526
- A great tidal wave of illogical emotions
- Can you give a name to those emotions?
324
00:27:33,865 --> 00:27:37,972
Yes, I suppose so. Anger, hatred and shame,
in about equal parts I should think
325
00:27:38,294 --> 00:27:39,136
- Anger at Page?
- Yes
326
00:27:39,464 --> 00:27:40,636
- And hatred?
- Of myself, of course
327
00:27:42,374 --> 00:27:43,478
Shame at being alive
328
00:27:47,485 --> 00:27:48,748
mโ!?
329
00:27:49,924 --> 00:27:51,096
No, Hester, I don't suppose I do
330
00:27:53,735 --> 00:27:59,447
- Can I do anything to help?
- No, Bill. Nobody can
331
00:28:03,014 --> 00:28:06,200
- Well, I'm glad I've found you again
- Were you looking so very hard?
332
00:28:07,544 --> 00:28:12,027
No. You see. I rather foolishly thought
my indifference would hurt your vanity
333
00:28:16,865 --> 00:28:19,596
You must understand I'm remarkably
inexperienced in matters of this sort
334
00:28:21,724 --> 00:28:25,922
So am I, Bill.
Almost as inexperienced as yourself
335
00:28:29,624 --> 00:28:31,365
- I'm glad you still wear it
- What?
336
00:28:37,315 --> 00:28:41,752
- Of course. It was an anniversary gift, wasn't it?
- Our seventh
337
00:28:45,035 --> 00:28:49,222
We gave a good party that night.
All our nicest friends, weren't they?
338
00:28:49,935 --> 00:28:53,917
I read Sibyl's new book.
I didn't think it was as good as her last
339
00:28:55,115 --> 00:28:58,267
Tell me. is David very pompous
now he's Solicitor-General?
340
00:28:58,704 --> 00:29:01,173
- Not very
- Is Alice still as gay as ever?
341
00:29:04,204 --> 00:29:08,858
- Oh dear. didn't I make a speech that night?
- Yes. Old Lord Marsden was wildly impressed
342
00:29:09,794 --> 00:29:11,467
That's what comes of being a clergyman's daughter
343
00:29:11,924 --> 00:29:15,940
I was always able to impress
your erudite friends. when put to it
344
00:29:17,824 --> 00:29:20,555
- I only wish I were as good with Freddie's friends
- Aren't you?
345
00:29:21,490 --> 00:29:24,414
- Oh no. On pub crawls I'm a terrible fish out of water
- Pub crawls?
346
00:29:25,185 --> 00:29:29,418
Don't be so shocked. There's nothing in the world
more respectable than a pub crawl
347
00:29:31,294 --> 00:29:34,002
More respectable. or more unspeakably dreary
348
00:29:36,865 --> 00:29:38,799
- Hester...
- Yes?
349
00:29:46,474 --> 00:29:51,298
It doesn't matter. The question I was going to ask you
is too big to put into a single sentence
350
00:29:52,544 --> 00:29:55,878
- Perhaps the answer could be put into a single word
- We might disagree on the choice of that word
351
00:29:56,434 --> 00:30:01,588
I doubt it. There are polite words and impolite words.
They all add up to the same emotion
352
00:30:06,164 --> 00:30:09,976
- That's my latest
- It's very nice
353
00:30:11,775 --> 00:30:15,245
- What were you angry with Page about?
- Lots of things. Always the same thing
354
00:30:15,584 --> 00:30:18,212
- What?
- That word we were talking about just now
355
00:30:18,605 --> 00:30:21,905
- Shall we call it love? it saves a lot of trouble
- You said his feelings for you hadn't changed
356
00:30:22,414 --> 00:30:26,624
They haven't. They couldn't, you see.
Zero minus zero is still zero
357
00:30:27,664 --> 00:30:29,029
- How long have you known this?
- From the beginning
358
00:30:29,264 --> 00:30:32,825
- But you told me...
- I don't know what I told you, Bill. I'm sorry if I lied
359
00:30:33,794 --> 00:30:36,741
You must blame my conventional upbringing.
You see I was brought up to believe...
360
00:30:36,934 --> 00:30:39,710
...in a case of this kind it's more proper
for it to be the man to do the loving
361
00:30:40,075 --> 00:30:41,895
How, in the name of reason,
could you go on loving a man...
362
00:30:42,124 --> 00:30:43,922
...who, by your own admission,
can give you nothing in return?
363
00:30:44,664 --> 00:30:47,873
Oh, but he can give me something in return,
and even does, from time to time
364
00:30:48,445 --> 00:30:50,152
- What?
- Himself
365
00:30:55,405 --> 00:30:58,989
Perhaps you're right, Hester.
Perhaps there is no one who can help you
366
00:30:59,325 --> 00:31:00,395
Except myself. you were going to say
367
00:31:00,554 --> 00:31:01,510
- Yes, I was
- I thought you were
368
00:31:06,624 --> 00:31:12,028
- I think it's rather good, don't you?
- Yes
369
00:31:12,374 --> 00:31:15,446
- Going to sell it?
- I suppose so. if anyone will buy it
370
00:31:15,825 --> 00:31:16,747
- I'll buy it
- No. you won't
371
00:31:17,014 --> 00:31:18,368
- Why not?
- Because I don't want you to. that's why not
372
00:31:18,794 --> 00:31:20,637
Hester. don't be childish. I like that picture
and I'm prepared to pay for it
373
00:31:20,994 --> 00:31:23,645
Please leave the subject.
I wanted your opinion. not your money
374
00:31:25,525 --> 00:31:26,742
- Who is it?
- Miller
375
00:31:27,914 --> 00:31:30,258
This is the man who looked after me this morning.
I'd better let him in
376
00:31:37,794 --> 00:31:38,989
I told you to stay in bed
377
00:31:39,544 --> 00:31:41,888
Thanks to your ministrations, Mr Miller,
I'm perfectly all right now
378
00:31:45,105 --> 00:31:46,539
Sir William Collyer... Mr Miller
379
00:31:47,855 --> 00:31:49,710
Come down to the light. Let me look
380
00:31:55,855 --> 00:31:57,198
Tongue
381
00:32:01,825 --> 00:32:07,935
Yes. You have a very strong constitution.
You should live to a ripe old age
382
00:32:08,664 --> 00:32:09,961
Barring accidents, of course
383
00:32:11,684 --> 00:32:14,540
Mr Miller, I'm very grateful
for all you did for... Mrs Page
384
00:32:14,934 --> 00:32:16,811
You needn't be. Sir William.
I did very little for Mrs Page
385
00:32:18,084 --> 00:32:19,927
I take it. Mr Miller.
you're not a qualified medical practitioner?
386
00:32:20,544 --> 00:32:22,217
- You take it quite correctly
- The only reason I ask...
387
00:32:22,584 --> 00:32:26,248
...is because a qualified doctor. in a case of this
rather delicate kind. is bound by a certain code
388
00:32:26,804 --> 00:32:31,526
Yes. I've heard of it. It's much the same as the
English schoolboy code. isn't it? No sneaking
389
00:32:32,874 --> 00:32:35,093
I congratulate you
on your knowledge of our idioms, Mr Miller
390
00:32:35,605 --> 00:32:39,826
I've spoken no other language since 1938,
except for a year on the Isle of Man
391
00:32:40,514 --> 00:32:45,145
Don't worry. Sir William. Or you. Mrs Page.
I won't sneak
392
00:32:45,914 --> 00:32:48,292
I left a bottle of antiseptic in your bathroom.
May I get it?
393
00:32:51,485 --> 00:32:55,604
- I don't think I like the look of him
- He looks too much like a blackmailer to be one
394
00:32:56,494 --> 00:32:58,667
I wonder.
We should at least have offered him a fee
395
00:32:59,235 --> 00:33:01,966
- He wouldn't accept it. You'd insult him
- You'd be surprised. It's a fair test
396
00:33:02,275 --> 00:33:06,815
Mr Miller. if you were a qualified doctor
there is one last thing that you would do
397
00:33:08,855 --> 00:33:10,095
Thank you. I will send you a receipt
398
00:33:14,764 --> 00:33:17,984
- You win
- The study of human nature is, after all, my profession
399
00:33:19,325 --> 00:33:21,544
- if you get any trouble from him. let meknowat once
- Yes. Bill
400
00:33:22,294 --> 00:33:23,796
I'm late. I have to be in court in fifteen minutes
401
00:33:24,084 --> 00:33:25,074
- Did you bring the car?
- Yes
402
00:33:25,624 --> 00:33:30,278
- Still the Austin?
- No, it's new one. Well, an old one, but a Rolls
403
00:33:31,355 --> 00:33:34,598
Oh, Bill! I must have a look at it
404
00:33:41,244 --> 00:33:42,427
Good Lord, you brought Flitton
405
00:33:44,445 --> 00:33:46,311
I wonder who he thought you were going
to visit in this low neighbourhood
406
00:33:46,714 --> 00:33:47,761
- You didn't tell him, did you?
- Of course not
407
00:33:49,325 --> 00:33:51,680
- How is he?
- Very well
408
00:33:53,634 --> 00:33:58,231
I miss him. you mow. I miss them all.
Even Miss Wilson
409
00:33:59,575 --> 00:34:02,920
I bet she's been pounding that typewriter
with a positive paean of triumph since I left
410
00:34:03,634 --> 00:34:06,558
There is. perhaps.
a certain added flourish to her style
411
00:34:09,775 --> 00:34:10,924
I do like that picture very much
412
00:34:16,344 --> 00:34:19,928
- You shall have it
- That's very kind. that's a very handsome present
413
00:34:21,124 --> 00:34:23,957
- Which reminds me... Many happy returns of yesterday
- Thank you. Bill
414
00:34:25,044 --> 00:34:26,375
Will you take it now. or shall I send it on?
415
00:34:26,874 --> 00:34:27,978
- May I call for it?
- When?
416
00:34:28,374 --> 00:34:30,149
- What time are you expecting Page?
- Not till about seven
417
00:34:31,155 --> 00:34:32,509
- I'll come for tea
- About five?
418
00:34:32,994 --> 00:34:33,859
- Five-twenty
- Right
419
00:34:36,405 --> 00:34:37,657
- Goodbye, then
- Goodbye
420
00:34:39,044 --> 00:34:41,877
- I do wish you'd try to find a way I could help you
- I'll try to find a way
421
00:36:21,749 --> 00:36:27,847
Hullo, Hes. How's tricks?
I've just done ninety-three down the Great West
422
00:36:29,339 --> 00:36:32,434
Alvis. smashing job.
Jackie Jackson gave me a lift
423
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,252
We gave up the idea of playing golf. It started to rain.
It's pouring down at Sunningdale
424
00:36:38,509 --> 00:36:43,071
I say. a bloody great Rolls was just moving off
as I came in. I wonder whose it was. do you mow?
425
00:36:44,169 --> 00:36:46,991
Do you think old Elton's lashed out
and invested his life savings?
426
00:36:50,079 --> 00:36:52,161
Shouldn't be surprised,
considering what he must make out of us
427
00:36:52,780 --> 00:36:55,124
- Did you have a good weekend?
- Not bad. I won both my matches
428
00:36:55,799 --> 00:36:58,825
I took a fiver off Jackie.
match-bye and bye-bye
429
00:36:59,579 --> 00:37:02,844
He was livid. I wanted to double the stakes
but he wouldn't wear it
430
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,936
- How much did you win altogether?
- Seven
431
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,882
- Can I have some of it for Mrs Elton?
- I thought you were going to sell those pictures
432
00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:11,524
- ls there any coffee left?
- I'm not now
433
00:37:13,030 --> 00:37:14,350
- Why not?
- I gave one away
434
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,495
- That was a bloody silly thing to go and do, wasn't it?
- Yes. I suppose it was
435
00:37:21,119 --> 00:37:25,818
Hell. all right. You can have three. I need the rest
for lunch. I'm taking a South American to the Ritz
436
00:37:27,030 --> 00:37:28,657
Get me! Giving lunch parties at the Ritz
437
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,044
- What South American?
- Bloke I met at golf yesterday
438
00:37:31,449 --> 00:37:34,430
Aircraft business.
I got myself given the old intro to him
439
00:37:34,780 --> 00:37:41,049
You mow. one of England's most famous test pilots.
DFC and bar. DSO. all the old ex-Spitfire bull
440
00:37:41,579 --> 00:37:43,126
- He seemed impressed
- I should think so
441
00:37:43,639 --> 00:37:45,801
Funny thing about gongs,
when you think what a lottery they were
442
00:37:46,690 --> 00:37:50,411
They don't mean a damn thing in war except
as a line-shoot. but in peacetime they're quite useful
443
00:37:51,469 --> 00:37:55,030
This bloke's worth bags of dough. He's got
some sort of tie-up with Vickers over here I think
444
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:56,771
- He might fix something
- I hope so
445
00:37:57,169 --> 00:37:58,330
Anyway. he ought to be good for a touch
446
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,640
I say. do you mow
you haven't looked at me once since I came in?
447
00:38:03,269 --> 00:38:04,521
- Haven't l. Freddie?
- Why's that?
448
00:38:05,089 --> 00:38:06,568
I can remember what you look like
449
00:38:08,449 --> 00:38:11,043
- I haven't done anything, have I?
- No, you haven't done anything
450
00:38:11,910 --> 00:38:17,212
You're not peeved about last night, are you?
You see, the blokes wanted to play again today
451
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,187
- And if I'd let them down...
- That's all right
452
00:38:20,169 --> 00:38:21,432
You were funny on the phone, too, I remember
453
00:38:23,019 --> 00:38:26,262
There wasn't any special reason you wanted me
back to dinner last night. was there?
454
00:38:28,780 --> 00:38:30,236
Oh my God!
455
00:38:34,839 --> 00:38:37,911
- Many happy returns
- Thank you. Freddie
456
00:38:41,190 --> 00:38:45,764
Blast! I remembered 'r on Saturday too. I was driving
past Barkers and I thought it's too late...
457
00:38:45,980 --> 00:38:50,622
...to get her a present now, I'll have to find a shop
open on Sunday. Cigarettes, or something
458
00:38:52,089 --> 00:38:56,629
- Had you arranged anything special for dinner?
- Nothing very special. Steak and a bottle of claret
459
00:38:56,999 --> 00:38:58,319
- We'll have it tonight
- Yes
460
00:38:58,730 --> 00:39:02,212
Come on now, Hes. No more sulks, please.
I've said I'm sorry. I can't say more, can I?
461
00:39:02,619 --> 00:39:03,632
No. You can't say more
462
00:39:06,799 --> 00:39:11,771
Give us a shot of those gorgeous dark orbs.
I haven't seen them for two whole days
463
00:39:15,980 --> 00:39:18,677
This is me. Freddie Page. Remember?
464
00:39:21,230 --> 00:39:24,962
Yes, I remember
465
00:39:40,110 --> 00:39:41,999
Naughty to sulk with your Freddie
466
00:39:46,730 --> 00:39:49,427
Go and get dressed. We'll have a quick one
at the Belvedere to celebrate
467
00:39:56,449 --> 00:39:57,928
Do you want me to lunch with your South American?
468
00:39:58,610 --> 00:40:02,296
No. better not. I can shoot a better line
without your beady eyes on me
469
00:40:03,219 --> 00:40:06,211
- They were gorgeous orbs a moment ago
- They get beady in company
470
00:40:39,449 --> 00:40:43,750
- Go on. darling. Hurry
- Yes
471
00:40:48,030 --> 00:40:55,380
- Still love me?
- I still love you
472
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,483
Oh darling. where are you going to be
between five and six today?
473
00:41:01,910 --> 00:41:03,036
Nowhere particularly. Why?
474
00:41:03,610 --> 00:41:06,011
Do you mind being out?
I've got someone coming in I'd like to see alone
475
00:41:06,419 --> 00:41:07,397
- A customer?
- Yes
476
00:41:07,860 --> 00:41:13,105
- Ok. I'll go to that new dub down the road
- And don't get sozzled, either. Remember our dinner
477
00:41:13,660 --> 00:41:14,331
You shut up
478
00:41:26,549 --> 00:41:28,153
Darling. I'm out of cigarettes. Have you got any?
479
00:41:29,139 --> 00:41:31,233
- There are some in my dressing-gown pocket
- Right
480
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,159
- Have you got them?
- What? Yes. I've got them
481
00:44:40,879 --> 00:44:43,689
But it's too bloody silly, old boy,
just because I forgot her birthday
482
00:44:47,549 --> 00:44:50,325
My God. if all the men who forgot
their wives' birthdays were to come home...
483
00:44:50,769 --> 00:44:55,172
...and find suicide notes waiting for them, the line of
widowers would stretch from here to John O'Groats
484
00:44:55,629 --> 00:44:57,097
- Further, old boy
- You can't go any further
485
00:44:57,829 --> 00:45:00,628
Well. from here to John O'Groats and back
and ending up at the Windmill. then
486
00:45:00,860 --> 00:45:01,907
Shut up. Jackie
487
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,881
I asked you round for help and advice.
not to let loose a flood of corny wisecraclcs
488
00:45:06,299 --> 00:45:09,087
Sorry. Freddie. only the way you tell it.
It sounds so idiotic
489
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:11,831
Are you sure it wasn't a joke. just to scare you?
490
00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:15,175
I've told you it wasn't.
I got the whole story out of old Ma Elton
491
00:45:15,579 --> 00:45:20,710
She definitely tried to gas herself, and would have
succeeded if there'd been a shilling in the blasted meter
492
00:45:21,190 --> 00:45:23,431
Well. that shows
she couldn't have been too serious about it
493
00:45:23,810 --> 00:45:27,292
Where's your imagination? if you're in a state of mind
where you're going to try and bump yourself off...
494
00:45:27,579 --> 00:45:29,650
- ...you don't think about things like meters
- Well. I would
495
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:34,154
That from the man who once wrote off three Spits
by forgetting to put his ruddy undercart down
496
00:45:34,599 --> 00:45:39,002
- That was different. I wasn't trying to bump myself off
- You gave a fairly good imitation of it
497
00:45:39,449 --> 00:45:42,066
- At the Court of Inquiry it was definitely established...
- Shut up. Jackie
498
00:45:42,410 --> 00:45:44,515
We're talking of something
a good deal more important
499
00:45:44,889 --> 00:45:49,099
Well. you started it.
All I said was. about the meter...
500
00:45:49,419 --> 00:45:54,004
I know what you said about the meter.
But you're wrong. I've been into the whole thing
501
00:45:54,449 --> 00:45:59,011
And you can take it from me
that she did definitely try. last night. to kill herself
502
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:04,600
And all because you forgot her birthday? But that's
just the sort of black I'm always putting up with Liz
503
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:09,324
- I mow. I tell you Jackie. it's knocked me ruddy flat
- I can imagine
504
00:46:09,889 --> 00:46:11,471
My God, aren't women the end!
505
00:46:12,099 --> 00:46:14,261
- Where is she now?
- Out looking for me, I shouldn't wonder
506
00:46:14,599 --> 00:46:15,327
No thanks
507
00:46:15,740 --> 00:46:21,725
She was having her bath. After I'd read that letter I ran
straight down to Ma Elton and after that I just did a bunk
508
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:29,078
I had to have a drink quick. and anyway I was damned
if I was going in to Hes and fall on my knees...
509
00:46:29,769 --> 00:46:33,888
...and say my darling I have grievously sinned
in forgetting your birthday
510
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,933
If I promise you I'll never do it again, will you
promise me you'll never gas yourself again?
511
00:46:39,079 --> 00:46:40,205
I mean the whole thing's too damn idiotic
512
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,813
- There must be something else
- There isn't anything else
513
00:46:43,129 --> 00:46:44,290
- Another girl?
- There never has been
514
00:46:44,799 --> 00:46:47,643
- Had a lot of rows lately?
- No. As a matter of fad...
515
00:46:48,049 --> 00:46:51,713
...these last few months I've been thinking
we were getting on better than before
516
00:46:52,060 --> 00:46:55,121
- There must have been some rows
- Very minor ones
517
00:46:55,629 --> 00:46:57,825
Nothing like the real flamers we had
when we first started
518
00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,488
- What were they about?
- Usual things
519
00:47:03,169 --> 00:47:07,254
Damn it. Jackie. youknowme.
I can't be a ruddy Romeo all the time
520
00:47:07,749 --> 00:47:08,363
Who (ran?
521
00:47:08,579 --> 00:47:11,071
According to her the whole damn human race.
Male part of it. anyway
522
00:47:11,610 --> 00:47:13,829
- What does she know about it?
- Damn all
523
00:47:15,299 --> 00:47:19,520
A clergyman's daughter, living in Oxford,
marries the first man who asks her...
524
00:47:19,990 --> 00:47:21,799
...and falls in love
with the first man who gives her an eye
525
00:47:24,349 --> 00:47:30,288
Hell. it's not that I'm not in love with her too.
of course I am. Always have been and always will be
526
00:47:31,959 --> 00:47:34,565
But well, moderation in all things.
That's always been my motto
527
00:47:35,499 --> 00:47:36,864
- Have another?
- Only a spot
528
00:47:37,389 --> 00:47:41,269
I've got nothing on my conscience in that respect.
I never gave myself that sort of a build-up with her
529
00:47:41,599 --> 00:47:42,577
She knew what she was taking on
530
00:47:42,990 --> 00:47:44,879
You don't think it's the marriage question
that's upset her?
531
00:47:45,459 --> 00:47:48,190
No. I'm the one that gets upset by that, not her
532
00:47:48,849 --> 00:47:53,298
Personally I can't wait for that divorce.
All this hole-in-the-corner stuff gets me down
533
00:47:53,639 --> 00:47:56,301
Doesn't it get her down too?
I mean, a clergyman's daughter?
534
00:47:56,669 --> 00:48:00,572
She jumped that fence a year ago.
I was the one that wanted to wait. She didn't
535
00:48:00,990 --> 00:48:06,338
That was the first of our flamers.
My God, it's so damned unfair
536
00:48:06,709 --> 00:48:09,519
Supposing she'd pulled 'doll last night,
do you realise what everyone would have said?
537
00:48:10,810 --> 00:48:13,404
That I'd bust up a happy marriage
and then driven Hes to suicide
538
00:48:13,820 --> 00:48:16,630
I'd have been looked on as a ruddy murderer.
Did she think of that, I wonder?
539
00:48:17,740 --> 00:48:19,014
Who the hell would have believed
what I've just told you?
540
00:48:19,389 --> 00:48:20,481
Anyone who knows you
541
00:48:20,849 --> 00:48:23,955
Yes. but this would have been front-page stuff.
All over the ruddy News of the World . Jackie
542
00:48:24,490 --> 00:48:30,395
Think of that. And this read out in court. My God. I'd
have been lucky to get out without being lynched
543
00:48:31,209 --> 00:48:34,361
The coroner would certainly have added a rider.
I was thinking at lunch today...
544
00:48:34,780 --> 00:48:38,205
...I'd never have been able to go into any restaurant
again without people nudging and pointing
545
00:48:38,570 --> 00:48:41,210
- By the way. how did that go off. your lunch with Lopez?
- Do you mind not changing the subject?
546
00:48:41,579 --> 00:48:44,435
Or if I'm boring you. just say so
and we'll have a little chat about the weather
547
00:48:44,860 --> 00:48:52,381
I'm sorry. I only wanted toknowif he'd offered
you anything. that's all. Go on about Hes. then
548
00:48:53,169 --> 00:49:00,724
Hell. this is getting me down.
Sorry. Jackie. I didn't mean to bite your head off
549
00:49:01,019 --> 00:49:03,374
- That's all right
- Lopez? Yes. he offered me a job all right
550
00:49:03,889 --> 00:49:05,891
- Good show
- Test pilot in South America
551
00:49:06,419 --> 00:49:09,013
Oh Lord!
I don't suppose you want to go to South America
552
00:49:09,570 --> 00:49:12,335
- I don't want to go anywhere as a test pilot
- They say you were the tops
553
00:49:14,190 --> 00:49:18,707
I was... a year ago.
Since then things have (hanged a bk
554
00:49:20,490 --> 00:49:23,482
This isn't exactly what the doctor ordered
for nerve and judgment
555
00:49:25,349 --> 00:49:29,343
Besides I'm too ruddy old. You're finished in that racket
at twenty-five. I wouldn't last a week
556
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:34,069
I want something chairborne. I've had flying for life.
Want one?
557
00:49:34,419 --> 00:49:38,231
- No. thanks. Do you think you ought to?
- IknowI ought to. Why. am I drunk?
558
00:49:38,820 --> 00:49:41,130
No. It's only that I gather
you've been at it most of the morning
559
00:49:41,820 --> 00:49:47,429
And I shall be at 't most of the evening too. I shall
be at 't until I've forgotten that this ever existed
560
00:49:47,959 --> 00:49:50,223
- Doesn't that give you any more dues?
- Read it and see
561
00:49:50,579 --> 00:49:52,047
- No. I don't think so
- Squeamish, aren't you?
562
00:49:52,490 --> 00:49:55,175
Well, a thing like that,
it's a bk private, isn't it?
563
00:49:55,749 --> 00:49:59,231
Blasted private it would have been,
read out in court by the coroner, wouldn't it?
564
00:49:59,799 --> 00:50:02,097
- There is that. I suppose
- There is that. you suppose
565
00:50:02,530 --> 00:50:04,840
All right. I'm the coroner. You're the public
Listen to this
566
00:50:07,990 --> 00:50:15,511
My darling, a moment ago, before I took the aspirin,
I knew exactly what I wanted to say to you
567
00:50:16,849 --> 00:50:19,511
I have run through this letter in my mind
so very often...
568
00:50:19,999 --> 00:50:23,003
...and it has always been most eloquent
and noble and composed
569
00:50:24,740 --> 00:50:27,505
Now those moving, pretty words
just don't seem to be there
570
00:50:28,749 --> 00:50:31,628
I think that's because, this time,
I know I really am going to die
571
00:50:32,099 --> 00:50:37,071
Look. don't go on. Knowing Hes as I do.
I'd really rather not hear the rest
572
00:50:37,469 --> 00:50:39,631
You're damn well going to hear the rest.
I've got to read this to someone
573
00:50:40,070 --> 00:50:42,425
- Still, it's addressed to you and no one else
- No one else except, of course...
574
00:50:42,690 --> 00:50:45,728
...the readers of all the Sunday papers.
Listen, damn you
575
00:50:46,329 --> 00:50:52,143
I know that, in the morning, when you read this letter,
any feelings you ever had for me, and you had some...
576
00:50:52,889 --> 00:51:02,287
...will be driven out of your heart for ever.
Poor Freddie, poor darling Freddie. I'm so sorry
577
00:51:04,349 --> 00:51:06,727
Sorry! Here's a due
578
00:51:07,175 --> 00:51:11,100
You'll want to know why,
and I'd so much like to make you understand
579
00:51:12,459 --> 00:51:18,011
Because if you understood you might forgive.
But to understand what I'm doing...
580
00:51:19,099 --> 00:51:24,321
...you must feel even a small part of what
I'm feeling now, and that I know you can never do
581
00:51:25,530 --> 00:51:28,955
Just accept that it isn't your fault.
It really isn't, Freddie, believe that
582
00:51:29,829 --> 00:51:34,790
You can't help being as you are,
I can't help being as I am. The fault lies...
583
00:51:35,709 --> 00:51:39,987
...with whichever of the gods had himself a good
laugh up above by arranging for the two of us to meet
584
00:51:40,780 --> 00:51:44,091
Forgive my bad writing.
I think perhaps the drug is beginning...
585
00:51:44,610 --> 00:51:46,601
- Hullo, Jackie
- Hullo
586
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,692
- How are you?
- Very well, thanks, Hes
587
00:51:50,940 --> 00:51:52,123
Where have you two been all afternoon?
588
00:51:52,740 --> 00:51:56,768
I haven't been with Freddie. I was at home.
and he rang up. Asked me over for a chat
589
00:51:57,610 --> 00:51:59,112
- I see. Where were you, Freddie?
- A lot of places
590
00:51:59,459 --> 00:52:00,756
- I've been to most of them
- I thought you might
591
00:52:01,049 --> 00:52:02,062
Can I have that letter, please?
592
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:03,264
- Why?
- It belongs to me
593
00:52:03,610 --> 00:52:05,590
There might be two views about that.
Its got my name on the envelope
594
00:52:06,070 --> 00:52:11,053
An undelivered letter belongs, I should say,
to the sender. Please
595
00:52:26,660 --> 00:52:27,627
- What are you doing?
- Tidying up
596
00:52:28,690 --> 00:52:29,851
It's my bottle. I paid for it
597
00:52:32,969 --> 00:52:35,654
- Did you have a good game yesterday. Jackie?
- Yes. thanks
598
00:52:36,269 --> 00:52:41,400
- I hear Freddie beat you. He must be getting rather good
- Off that handicap, he is. It's a crying scandal
599
00:52:43,490 --> 00:52:48,018
- Look, Hes, I really think I ought to be dashing along
- No, don't go, please
600
00:52:48,690 --> 00:52:51,068
Freddie'll be going out in a minute or two,
and I'm sure he'd like you to go with him
601
00:52:51,610 --> 00:52:53,362
Darling. you hadn't forgotten
about being out at five. had you?
602
00:52:54,290 --> 00:52:56,145
- Yes. I had. What's the time now?
- It's getting on
603
00:52:56,769 --> 00:52:59,568
And of course you don't want your beloved
art collector to see me in my present state
604
00:52:59,959 --> 00:53:02,951
I don'tknowanything about your present state.
I told you this morning I'd like you to be out
605
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:07,006
- I thought you'd given that one away
- I have. I'm going to wrap it
606
00:53:07,740 --> 00:53:10,539
- Then what are you going to sell this bloke?
- Whatever he'd like to buy
607
00:53:14,179 --> 00:53:18,002
Look, Freddie, I do think you ought
to go and talk to her. I'll disappear
608
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,226
I've got time enough to talk to her
609
00:53:20,519 --> 00:53:23,033
I've got a whole blasted lifetime to talk to her.
You stay
610
00:53:23,329 --> 00:53:27,288
- Go easy on the Scotch. old boy
- I've told you. I need it. Delicious oblivion
611
00:53:27,660 --> 00:53:29,446
Look. Freddie. I don't want to be rude.
but you don't think perhaps...
612
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:35,408
- ...you might be dramatising this thing a bit too much?
- Dramatising? She's the one that's dramatising
613
00:53:35,805 --> 00:53:39,867
That cool. calm. collected act just now. you saw it.
That's dramatising
614
00:53:40,540 --> 00:53:43,100
I'm just a bloke who's having a couple of drinks
because he's feeling miserable
615
00:53:43,790 --> 00:53:47,806
I don't expect she can be feeling exactly happy herself,
whatever you say about her adjust now
616
00:53:48,269 --> 00:53:52,115
I suppose if she were Liz and you were in my place.
you'd smother her with tender embraces
617
00:53:52,499 --> 00:53:57,619
I think I'd talk to her about 't. I'd ask her
what the trouble was, what I could do to put 't right
618
00:53:57,969 --> 00:53:59,698
What the hell's the use of that?
619
00:54:01,790 --> 00:54:04,430
You heard that letter.
'Poor Freddie, you can't help being as you are'
620
00:54:04,749 --> 00:54:08,208
She's put her finger on it. all right.
What am I supposed to do to put that little trouble right?
621
00:54:08,519 --> 00:54:10,863
- Pretend to be something different?
- A few white lies
622
00:54:12,099 --> 00:54:18,709
Dammit. man. talk sense. A few white lies!
Do you think she's as easily fooled as that?
623
00:54:19,690 --> 00:54:23,866
You seem to see this as a little domestic tiff that can
be put right with a few kind words and a loving peck
624
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,972
Hes flied to kill herself last night
625
00:54:29,610 --> 00:54:35,117
Sorry, Freddie. Perhaps I'm a bk out of my depth
626
00:54:37,469 --> 00:54:41,007
Out of your depth?
I should bloody well say you are
627
00:54:43,749 --> 00:54:47,674
I'm out of my depth too,
and it's a sensation I don't care for
628
00:54:49,299 --> 00:54:54,601
My God, how I hate getting tangled up
in other people's emotions
629
00:54:55,969 --> 00:55:00,600
It's the one thing I've tried to avoid all my life.
and yet it always seems to be happening to me
630
00:55:03,179 --> 00:55:06,661
You remember Dot during the war. don't you?
I brought her down to the squadron a couple of times
631
00:55:07,209 --> 00:55:09,303
Yes. I liked her a lot. A load of fun
632
00:55:09,849 --> 00:55:14,195
A load of fun, until she started messing about
with my service revolver
633
00:55:14,959 --> 00:55:19,476
- She didn't...
- No. She didn't hurt herself or me or anyone else
634
00:55:19,959 --> 00:55:22,485
Still. you can imagine
that the fun got a bit sour after that
635
00:55:23,679 --> 00:55:31,962
And then there was... it doesn't matter.
Too many emotions. Far too ruddy many. I loathe them
636
00:55:32,399 --> 00:55:39,760
- A sort of homme fatal, eh?
- It's not so funny, Jackie. It's not so funny
637
00:55:41,110 --> 00:55:43,533
Hes says I've got no feelings
and perhaps she's right
638
00:55:45,379 --> 00:55:48,019
But anyway I've got something inside
that can get hurt, the way it's hurt now
639
00:55:49,679 --> 00:55:52,683
I don't enjoy causing other people misery.
I'm not a ruddy sadist
640
00:55:54,910 --> 00:55:59,518
My sort never gets a hearing. We're called a lot of
rude names. and nobody ever thinks we have a case
641
00:55:59,910 --> 00:56:04,484
But look at it this way. Jackie.
Take two people. A and B
642
00:56:04,799 --> 00:56:12,013
A loves B. B doesn't love A. at least not in the same
way. He wants to. but he just can't. It's not his nature
643
00:56:12,540 --> 00:56:18,400
Now B hasn't asked to be loved.
He may be a perfectly ordinary bloke...
644
00:56:19,269 --> 00:56:24,048
...kind. well-meaning. good friend.
perhaps even a good husband if he's allowed to be
645
00:56:25,349 --> 00:56:29,365
But he's not allowed to be, that's my point.
Demands are made on him which he just can't fulfil
646
00:56:30,349 --> 00:56:35,503
if he tries. he's lying. and lying doesn't help anyone.
Now if he's honest and doesn't try...
647
00:56:35,790 --> 00:56:41,149
...well. then everyone says he's a skunk
and a heartless cad. and coroners add ruddy riders
648
00:56:41,579 --> 00:56:45,391
I mean, where are you?
Come on. We'd better get weaving
649
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,618
- Excuse me. ls Mrs Page in?
- No. not at the moment
650
00:56:54,070 --> 00:56:56,971
- You're Mr Miller, aren't you?
- Yes. And you are Mr Page?
651
00:56:57,649 --> 00:56:59,674
- That's right. Come in. I'd like to talk to you
- Thank you
652
00:57:00,219 --> 00:57:03,211
- You looked after my wife. this morning. didn't you?
- Yes. I looked after Mrs Page
653
00:57:03,829 --> 00:57:07,311
This is Jackie Jackson. Mr Miller.
Care for a drink?
654
00:57:07,610 --> 00:57:09,624
- Thank you
- I'd like to know how much she said to you
655
00:57:10,469 --> 00:57:15,521
Mrs Elton says you were with her alone.
You needn't worry about him. He knows all about it
656
00:57:15,940 --> 00:57:17,897
- She said nothing
- Nothing about why she did it?
657
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:19,207
- Nothing
- Do you know why she did it?
658
00:57:19,429 --> 00:57:20,954
- No
- If you like I'll tell you
659
00:57:21,129 --> 00:57:23,370
- No. Freddie
- She did it because I forgot her birthday
660
00:57:24,019 --> 00:57:25,737
- Yes
- You don't look surprised
661
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:31,378
- I'm not. I assumed it was something of the kind
- Something so trivial?
662
00:57:32,019 --> 00:57:35,489
Nothing can be called trivial
that induces an operative desire to die
663
00:57:36,549 --> 00:57:40,053
- But forgetting a birthday?
- Yes. Th at is trivial
664
00:57:40,835 --> 00:57:45,284
He's a fiddler, this bloke.
All right. What's the real reason, then?
665
00:57:45,769 --> 00:57:48,784
- What's behind the triviality?
- I don't think you need me to tell you that
666
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,674
- I'd like to hear it, anyway
- Yourself, I should suppose
667
00:57:51,959 --> 00:57:54,803
- Which just about makes me a ruddy murderer
- A ruddy near-murderer
668
00:57:55,410 --> 00:57:58,584
- Look. I don't think you ought to say a thing like...
- Shut up. Jackie. I can take it
669
00:57:58,929 --> 00:58:02,365
- But he doesn't know the fads
- The fads? What do the fads matter?
670
00:58:03,709 --> 00:58:06,132
It's what's behind the fads that matters,
isn't that right, Mr Miller?
671
00:58:06,540 --> 00:58:09,851
- Yes
- And what's behind the fads is me
672
00:58:10,219 --> 00:58:13,098
- I suppose so
- Little murdering me
673
00:58:15,099 --> 00:58:17,181
All right, my friend,
and what would you do about it if you were me?
674
00:58:17,820 --> 00:58:23,736
That's a stupid question. Nature has not endowed me
with the capacity for inspiring suicidal love
675
00:58:29,209 --> 00:58:31,849
- Aren't you lucky?
- Yes. I suppose I am
676
00:58:33,079 --> 00:58:37,562
And what about a poor bloke
who has this capacity for inspiring suicidal love?
677
00:58:38,099 --> 00:58:41,285
- What does he do about it?
- Refuse to love at all, I'd say
678
00:58:44,649 --> 00:58:49,974
Have another drink.
We've finished this bottle
679
00:58:53,740 --> 00:58:56,641
- What you've just said, old boy, was a load of tripe
- Very possibly
680
00:58:57,049 --> 00:58:59,416
But as your friend has pointed out,
I know nothing of the fads
681
00:58:59,879 --> 00:59:03,702
One of the facts is that this character
has no intention. at this stage in his life...
682
00:59:04,570 --> 00:59:07,642
- ...of turning himself into a bloody hermit
- No. I imagine he hasn't
683
00:59:08,299 --> 00:59:14,341
Damn right, he hasn't, old boy. Let's continue this
argument down the road. That new dub opens at four
684
00:59:14,719 --> 00:59:17,393
Look, Freddie, I think I ought to be getting along.
Liz'll be wondering
685
00:59:17,849 --> 00:59:22,309
Liz'll be wondering.
Portrait of a happily married man, Mr Miller
686
00:59:22,799 --> 00:59:27,145
A man who can be fairly certain of coming home and
not finding his loving wife lying in front of a gas fire
687
00:59:31,070 --> 00:59:32,151
- Hullo
- Good afternoon
688
00:59:32,490 --> 00:59:34,697
- I was just on my way, Hes
- Must you go?
689
00:59:35,079 --> 00:59:37,320
I must. I'm afraid.
You're turning us out of the flat anyway. aren't you?
690
00:59:37,599 --> 00:59:41,888
- Yes. But I was hoping you'd keep Freddie company
- I'm afraid I can't, Hes. I've got people coming in
691
00:59:42,099 --> 00:59:44,705
Bad luck, darling.
No nurse for poor little Freddie-weddie
692
00:59:45,299 --> 00:59:49,088
- Unless, of course, Mr Miller here would like to voluntee
- I'm afraid I have work to do
693
00:59:49,620 --> 00:59:52,897
Work'? What sort of work'?
Curing other people's love problems?
694
00:59:53,990 --> 00:59:57,028
No. Sending out a list
of the latest prices for the St Leger
695
00:59:57,399 --> 00:59:58,525
- You a bookie?
- Yes
696
00:59:59,379 --> 01:00:02,701
I should never have thought it.
What price is Makeshift?
697
01:00:03,349 --> 01:00:06,671
- One hundred to seven
- I'd like fifty to three. ten
698
01:00:06,959 --> 01:00:09,883
- That is. if you'll accept me as a client
- I'll submit your name to my proprietor
699
01:00:10,269 --> 01:00:13,341
- That's not you?
- Oh no. I'm only one of his many assistants
700
01:00:13,959 --> 01:00:16,303
- Well. cheerio. Freddie
- Goodbye. Give my love to Liz
701
01:00:16,620 --> 01:00:19,806
You'd better not give her my love. Jackie.
By all accounts it's pretty lethal
702
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:23,212
- Goodbye
- Goodbye
703
01:00:25,190 --> 01:00:26,112
Just tidying UP
704
01:00:27,299 --> 01:00:30,166
- Look Freddie. I don't think you should go out
- I thought you wanted me out. Your customer...
705
01:00:30,549 --> 01:00:32,813
Mrs Elton can give him a message.
He can come bad! another time
706
01:00:33,549 --> 01:00:38,419
- Why don't you go and have a good lie down?
- No, I'm a good boy. When I'm told to go, I go
707
01:00:40,055 --> 01:00:41,204
Can you lend me a shilling?
708
01:00:48,299 --> 01:00:49,949
Justin case I'm late for dinner
709
01:00:57,479 --> 01:00:59,993
- Do you know where he's going?
- To the new dub down the road
710
01:01:00,740 --> 01:01:03,038
- Are you really working. or is that just an excuse?
- I'm really working
711
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:09,398
- He'll be much happier by himself than with me. you mow
- Really? What makes you think that?
712
01:01:10,079 --> 01:01:13,367
Because I seem to have become
the embodiment of his conscience
713
01:01:16,019 --> 01:01:19,364
His conscience? You appear to have found
something in him that I've missed
714
01:01:19,759 --> 01:01:21,147
They say the eyes of love are blind
715
01:01:21,729 --> 01:01:23,811
They say that about the loved one's failings,
not about his virtues
716
01:01:25,479 --> 01:01:31,361
- And my eyes aren't blind. They can see quite well
- I know they can. Too well
717
01:01:33,179 --> 01:01:36,843
To love with one's eyes open
sometimes makes life very difficult
718
01:01:37,629 --> 01:01:39,700
- Even unbearable
- I said difficult
719
01:01:40,049 --> 01:01:42,256
- I don't like him being alone
- Very well. I shall volunteer
720
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,891
- Thank you, Mr Miller. I'm very grateful
- There's no need
721
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:47,674
- Did you paint this one?
- Yes
722
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,089
I only ask because it's so different in style
from all the others
723
01:01:51,769 --> 01:01:54,613
- I was seventeen when I did that
- Indeed. Interesting
724
01:01:55,299 --> 01:01:56,414
- Did you go to Art School?
- No
725
01:01:57,099 --> 01:02:01,696
There is a freshness and delicacy about this,
it's very striking
726
01:02:01,929 --> 01:02:03,306
Hurry to Freddie. please. I'm very anxious
727
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,272
- You're early
- I know. I came straight from court
728
01:02:11,329 --> 01:02:15,163
I'm just leaving. Sir William.
I have an errand to perform for Mrs Page
729
01:02:15,769 --> 01:02:18,750
And by the way.
I was going to put this in the post for you
730
01:02:26,459 --> 01:02:29,975
I ought to have asked you to phone me. Freddie
came back unexpectedly. he's only just gone out
731
01:02:31,490 --> 01:02:38,112
- What's that? A receipt?
- It's a piece of insolence
732
01:02:38,519 --> 01:02:42,444
He's written on the back 'For quasi-professional
services, received with thanks. K. Miller'
733
01:02:46,509 --> 01:02:47,999
All right, I suppose the joke's on me
734
01:02:48,509 --> 01:02:50,978
- What's this errand he was talking about?
- It doesn't matter
735
01:02:51,740 --> 01:02:53,731
- I promised you tea, didn't I?
- Don't bother with tea
736
01:02:54,179 --> 01:02:57,023
Moments are precious. I don't want you
wasting them with a kettle in the kitchen
737
01:02:58,509 --> 01:02:59,977
It's all right for me to stay
for a moment or two, isn't it?
738
01:03:00,349 --> 01:03:01,305
Yes, Bill, I think so
739
01:03:03,190 --> 01:03:05,056
- I saw Page just now
- Did he see you?
740
01:03:06,269 --> 01:03:08,727
No. I was in the car. just turning into this street.
I put the paper up
741
01:03:09,070 --> 01:03:11,994
He couldn't possibly have seen me.
Besides he was quite obviously drunk
742
01:03:13,820 --> 01:03:17,461
- What makes you think that?
- His passage down the street was rather erratic
743
01:03:18,849 --> 01:03:21,307
I don't think that can have been Freddie you saw,
He only left this flat a moment ago
744
01:03:21,729 --> 01:03:23,811
- Hester...
- He'd been having a drink with a friend
745
01:03:25,089 --> 01:03:28,571
Oh Bill, really. Even a judge
can let his imagination run away with him
746
01:03:30,209 --> 01:03:31,882
- How long has it been going on?
- How long has what been going on?
747
01:03:32,379 --> 01:03:34,973
- In the old days he hardly touched alcohol
- Is that so? I don't remember
748
01:03:35,589 --> 01:03:38,832
Don't you? He never drank at Sunningdale.
He said it was bad for his judgment as a pilot
749
01:03:39,190 --> 01:03:42,888
Very well, Bill. If in the last ten months
Freddie's taken to drink...
750
01:03:43,229 --> 01:03:44,742
...it must be I who've driven him to it
751
01:03:45,149 --> 01:03:47,811
- And he who's driven you to suicide
- No. I drove myself there
752
01:03:48,599 --> 01:03:52,092
- Hester. what's happened to you?
- Love. Bill. that's all
753
01:03:53,339 --> 01:03:56,149
You mow. that thing you read about
in your beloved Jane Austen and Anthony Trollope
754
01:03:56,990 --> 01:04:00,176
Love.
'It droppeth as the gentle dew from heaven'
755
01:04:01,490 --> 01:04:02,252
No. that's not right...
756
01:04:03,549 --> 01:04:07,201
I remember.
'It comforteth like sunshine after rain'
757
01:04:07,649 --> 01:04:11,358
- That's an unfortunate quotation. Go on with it
- I can't. I've forgotten
758
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:18,355
'Love comforteth like sunshine after rain
and Lust's effect is tempest after sun'
759
01:04:18,879 --> 01:04:23,032
Tempest after sun? That would be very apt,
wouldn't it, if that were all I fell for Freddie
760
01:04:23,450 --> 01:04:25,782
- In sober truth. Hester. isn't it?
- God. Bill!
761
01:04:26,070 --> 01:04:28,357
Do you really think I can tell you the sober truth
about what I feel for Freddie?
762
01:04:29,660 --> 01:04:32,061
I've got quite a clear mind.
Too clear. I've just been told
763
01:04:32,700 --> 01:04:35,647
if it were only my mind that were involved.
But in sober truth. Bill...
764
01:04:36,399 --> 01:04:42,168
In sober truth neither you nor I
nor anyone can explain what I feel about Freddie
765
01:04:43,339 --> 01:04:47,276
It's all far too big and confusing to be tied up
in such a neat little parcel and labelled lust
766
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:54,253
Lust isn't the whole of life. And Freddie is. you see.
to me the whole of life. And of death. too. it seems
767
01:04:55,009 --> 01:04:58,752
Put a label on that, if you can.
God, I wish Freddie hadn't finished all the whisky
768
01:04:59,269 --> 01:05:01,112
- Do you want to go out?
- No
769
01:05:03,089 --> 01:05:05,251
- I'd better stay in and await developments
- What developments?
770
01:05:05,979 --> 01:05:08,493
Oh, quite a large variety are apt to offer themselves
when Freddie's on the rampage
771
01:05:16,229 --> 01:05:21,781
- What made us moose Sunningdale that summer?
- It was your idea. You wanted the golf
772
01:05:22,950 --> 01:05:26,090
- Oh yes, you'd have preferred the sea
- Yes
773
01:05:31,959 --> 01:05:33,870
You know, you never told me
exactly how it first happened
774
01:05:35,709 --> 01:05:36,722
No, I don't suppose I did
775
01:05:40,799 --> 01:05:44,372
- It was the day you were playing for the President's Cup
- I remember
776
01:05:47,660 --> 01:05:50,470
I went to the golf club to collect you
to go on to that party at the Hendersons
777
01:05:53,129 --> 01:05:55,632
You were still at play,
Freddie was there alone
778
01:05:57,709 --> 01:06:00,053
He'd been chucked for a game
and was bad-tempered. I remember
779
01:06:01,070 --> 01:06:04,540
I'd met him several times up at the club with the others.
but I'd never taken much notice of him
780
01:06:06,149 --> 01:06:07,571
I didn't think he was even particularly good-looking
781
01:06:08,459 --> 01:06:10,723
And the RAF slang
used to irritate me slightly, I remember
782
01:06:11,450 --> 01:06:15,193
- He does it for effect. I suppose
- No. He does it because his life stopped in 1940
783
01:06:18,700 --> 01:06:26,118
He loved 1940. you mow. There were some like that.
He's never been really happy since he left the RAF
784
01:06:26,540 --> 01:06:32,855
- Anyway, you were a long time over your game
- Yes. We were held up badly, I remember
785
01:06:36,399 --> 01:06:43,510
And Freddie and I sat on the veranda
for almost an hour. For some reason...
786
01:06:43,950 --> 01:06:51,869
...he spoke very honestly and rather touchingly
about himself, about how worried he was about his future
787
01:06:54,339 --> 01:07:01,427
How life seemed to have no direction or purpose.
how he envied you. the brilliant lawyer
788
01:07:02,649 --> 01:07:04,333
- That was kind of him
- He meant it sincerely
789
01:07:05,570 --> 01:07:10,883
And then all of a sudden
he put his hand on my arm
790
01:07:12,519 --> 01:07:17,036
And murmured something very conventional about
envying you for other reasons besides your career
791
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:23,576
I laughed at him
and he laughed back. like a guilty small boy
792
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:28,591
And he said, 'l really do, you know,
it's not just a line'
793
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:33,221
'l really do think
you're the most attractive girl I've ever met'
794
01:07:36,129 --> 01:07:39,941
Or something like that. I don't remember the words,
because I knew then in that tiny moment...
795
01:07:40,629 --> 01:07:45,612
...when we were laughing together so dose
that I had no hope
796
01:07:52,740 --> 01:07:53,753
No hope at all
797
01:07:57,589 --> 01:07:59,978
That was the night you insisted
on coming up to London with me, wasn't it?
798
01:08:00,459 --> 01:08:01,506
Yes
799
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,464
You didn't want to come back to Sunningdale
the following weekend, I remember
800
01:08:06,349 --> 01:08:07,009
No
801
01:08:08,679 --> 01:08:12,400
- When, exactly...?
- September
802
01:08:14,709 --> 01:08:16,780
Do you remember
when we went up to London together to see that play?
803
01:08:17,179 --> 01:08:19,284
- But that meeting in the clubhouse was in June
- June the twenty-fourth
804
01:08:22,670 --> 01:08:24,434
In those two months,
why didn't you talk to me about it?
805
01:08:27,570 --> 01:08:30,619
- What would you have said to me if I had?
- What I say to you now
806
01:08:34,269 --> 01:08:38,194
That this man you say you love
is intellectually and morally a mile your inferior...
807
01:08:38,459 --> 01:08:40,041
...and has nothing
in common with you whatsoever
808
01:08:41,979 --> 01:08:44,869
That what you're suffering from
is a rather vulgar and ordinary infatuation
809
01:08:46,700 --> 01:08:51,251
And that it is your duty to exert every effort of will
you're capable of to return to sanity at once
810
01:08:55,570 --> 01:08:56,537
How would you have answered that?
811
01:08:57,979 --> 01:09:00,220
By agreeing with you. I suppose.
But it wouldn't have made any difference
812
01:09:03,729 --> 01:09:05,606
if we'd been able to have children.
would that have made a difference?
813
01:09:11,429 --> 01:09:14,763
- Isn't reality enough to occupy us. Bill?
- Meaning that it would have made no difference at all
814
01:09:15,089 --> 01:09:16,363
- That's not what I said
- It's fantastic...
815
01:09:16,899 --> 01:09:19,322
...to think what was caused
by my decision to rent that damn villa
816
01:09:19,679 --> 01:09:21,192
You mustn't torture yourself
with thoughts like that, Bill
817
01:09:21,589 --> 01:09:22,613
Freddie and I would have met anyway
818
01:09:22,990 --> 01:09:24,754
- Look, I think it's about time you went
- You believe in affinities?
819
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:28,476
- I believe it was fated that Freddie and I should meet
- A pretty evil fate, as it's turned out
820
01:09:28,820 --> 01:09:31,198
if you believe in good affinities.
you must believe in evil ones too
821
01:09:32,269 --> 01:09:34,442
Don't forget your present,
after all the trouble I've been to wrapping it
822
01:09:35,450 --> 01:09:39,307
I thought it might be. Not many people
who come to this place have a big black Rolls
823
01:09:40,570 --> 01:09:41,731
- Where's Miller?
- Miller?
824
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,271
- Didn't you see him at the club?
- I never went to the club
825
01:09:45,179 --> 01:09:47,181
- That's the same chauffeur. isn't it?
- Yes
826
01:09:47,540 --> 01:09:51,078
Bill came to visit me because someone
telephoned to him about my accident
827
01:09:51,649 --> 01:09:54,539
- You've heard about her accident. have you?
- Yes
828
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:58,078
- Did you ever forget her birthday?
- No
829
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,005
No. I shouldn't have thought
you were a forgetful type
830
01:10:02,519 --> 01:10:04,055
- You're a judge now. aren't you?
- Yes
831
01:10:04,420 --> 01:10:05,945
- Still making packets of money?
- A certain amount
832
01:10:06,429 --> 01:10:08,306
- Still love Hes?
- Bill, don't answer. He's drunk
833
01:10:08,700 --> 01:10:10,668
- Freddie, you'd better go and lie down
- See how I'm bullied?
834
01:10:11,059 --> 01:10:13,198
- I bet you were never bullied like that
- Darling, try and behave yourself
835
01:10:13,509 --> 01:10:16,467
Am I behaving badly?
I'm only asking the judge here a simple question
836
01:10:16,849 --> 01:10:21,935
I'd rather like to know the answer.
Still, I suppose it doesn't really matter
837
01:10:30,740 --> 01:10:32,185
- I'm sorry. Bill
- That's all right
838
01:10:34,700 --> 01:10:40,002
- I think perhaps you'd better go
- Yes
839
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,755
- The answer is yes. by the way
- What?
840
01:10:58,879 --> 01:11:01,029
The question Page asked me just now.
The answer is yes
841
01:11:04,279 --> 01:11:12,744
- Oh Bill, please...
- I'm sorry
842
01:11:17,029 --> 01:11:20,192
- Will you be able to cope with the situation?
- Oh heavens. yes. This is nothing
843
01:11:21,570 --> 01:11:24,119
- He's changed a lot. He looks quite different
- He hasn't been well lately
844
01:11:25,929 --> 01:11:30,548
No.
Well, goodbye
845
01:11:31,059 --> 01:11:40,730
- I'm so sorry. ls there anything more I can say?
- I don't think so
846
01:12:04,450 --> 01:12:05,861
Freddie, let me in
847
01:12:08,420 --> 01:12:09,831
Freddie. don't be so childish. Let me in
848
01:12:51,639 --> 01:12:53,312
You're looking very smart.
Are you going out somewhere?
849
01:12:53,649 --> 01:12:54,389
- Yes
- Where?
850
01:12:54,779 --> 01:12:56,008
- To see a man about a job
- What man?
851
01:12:56,540 --> 01:12:58,087
- Lopez. I've just called him
- Lopez'?
852
01:12:58,649 --> 01:13:02,404
- The South American I had lunch with
- Oh yes. I'd forgotten. How did it go off?
853
01:13:02,820 --> 01:13:05,084
- It went off all right
- Good. You think you'll get the job?
854
01:13:05,570 --> 01:13:09,666
Yes. I think so. He made a fairly definite offer.
Of course it's up to his boss
855
01:13:10,639 --> 01:13:15,258
Oh darling! Let's have a look at you.
You could have (hanged your shirt
856
01:13:16,099 --> 01:13:18,636
- Well, I hadn't a dean one
- No. Nor you had
857
01:13:19,599 --> 01:13:23,581
The laundrys late again this week.
I'll wash one out for you in the morning
858
01:13:24,540 --> 01:13:28,261
- Yes. Does it look too bad?
- It'll pass
859
01:14:05,009 --> 01:14:07,979
- Your shoes need a dean
- Yes. I'll give them a polish
860
01:14:08,509 --> 01:14:09,510
No. Take them off. I'll do them
861
01:14:11,170 --> 01:14:14,447
Somehow or other you always manage
to get shoe polish on your face. God knows how
862
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:20,214
- What's the job?
- Yes. I suppose I'd better tell you
863
01:14:20,779 --> 01:14:25,194
- Well yes, Freddie. I think I'd like to know
- Look, Hes. I've got to talk for a bk now
864
01:14:25,750 --> 01:14:29,471
It's not going to be easy,
so don't interrupt, do you mind?
865
01:14:31,149 --> 01:14:34,858
You could always talk the hind leg off a donkey
and just when I've got things clear in my mind...
866
01:14:35,290 --> 01:14:39,045
- ...I don't want them muddled up again
- I'm sorry. Freddie. I must interrupt at once
867
01:14:40,649 --> 01:14:44,153
The way you've been behaving this afternoon.
how could you have things clear in your mind?
868
01:14:44,709 --> 01:14:49,078
I'm all right now. Hes. I had a cup of black coffee
and after that a bit of a walk. I know what I'm doing
869
01:14:49,779 --> 01:14:53,670
- What are you doing. Freddie?
- Accepting a job in South America as a test pilot
870
01:14:54,250 --> 01:15:00,269
Test pilot? But you've said a hundred times
you could never go back to that
871
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:04,605
You said after the crash in Canada
you had no nerve or judgment left
872
01:15:04,950 --> 01:15:09,911
They'll come back. I'd had too many drinks
that time in Canada. You know that
873
01:15:10,450 --> 01:15:14,023
Yes, I know that. The Court of Inquiry knew that.
Does this man Lopez know that?
874
01:15:14,349 --> 01:15:20,527
Of course not. He won't hear about it either.
Don't worry about my nerve and judgment. Hes
875
01:15:20,849 --> 01:15:22,851
A couple of months on the wagon
and I'll be the old ace again
876
01:15:23,209 --> 01:15:25,792
- The old dicer witlh death
- Don't use that idiotic RAF slang, do you mind?
877
01:15:26,339 --> 01:15:29,491
- This is too important
- Yes. It is important
878
01:15:35,229 --> 01:15:37,197
- Whereabouts in South America?
- Somewhere near Rio
879
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:41,670
- I see. Well, when do we start?
- We don't
880
01:15:42,389 --> 01:15:43,515
- We don't?
- You and I don't
881
01:15:44,179 --> 01:15:46,273
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
I'm going alone
882
01:15:49,820 --> 01:15:52,835
- Why. Freddie?
- If I'm to stay on the wagon. I've got to do this alone
883
01:15:55,870 --> 01:16:03,914
- Do you?
- Oh hell. that's not the real reason. Look. Hes. darling
884
01:16:04,290 --> 01:16:09,308
You've always said, haven't you, that I don't love you.
Well, I suppose, in your sense I don't
885
01:16:11,070 --> 01:16:15,166
But what I do feel for you is a good deal more
than I've ever felt for anybody else in my life...
886
01:16:16,509 --> 01:16:20,275
...or ever will feel, I should think.
That's why I went away with you in the first place
887
01:16:21,679 --> 01:16:25,912
That's why I've stayed with you all this time.
and that's why I must go away from you now
888
01:16:26,335 --> 01:16:30,522
- That sounds rather like a prepared speech. Freddie
- Yes. I suppose it is. I worked it out on my walk
889
01:16:31,070 --> 01:16:36,224
But it's still true. Hes.
I'm too fond of you to let things slide
890
01:16:37,959 --> 01:16:39,654
That letter was a hell of a shod!
891
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:43,420
I knew often that you were unhappy,
you often knew I was a bk down too
892
01:16:43,779 --> 01:16:51,311
But I had no idea how much the difference
in our feelings had been hurting you
893
01:16:54,179 --> 01:16:57,422
It's asking too damn much of any bloke
to carry on as if nothing had happened...
894
01:16:57,750 --> 01:17:02,312
...when he knows now for a fact he's driving
the only girl he's ever loved to suicide
895
01:17:02,729 --> 01:17:04,481
Do you think your leaving me
will drive me away from suicide?
896
01:17:04,839 --> 01:17:08,048
That's a risk I shall just have to take, isn't it?
It's a risk both of us will have to face
897
01:17:08,389 --> 01:17:11,324
- Freddie, you mustn't scare me like this
- No scare, Hes. Sorry, this is on the level
898
01:17:12,179 --> 01:17:14,443
Youknowperfectly well
you'll feel quite differently in the morning
899
01:17:15,339 --> 01:17:19,048
No. I won't. Not this time. Hes.
Besides I don't think I'll be here in the morning
900
01:17:19,639 --> 01:17:22,028
- Where will you be?
- I don't know. Somewhere
901
01:17:22,559 --> 01:17:24,823
- I think I'd better get out tonight
- No, Freddie. No
902
01:17:25,529 --> 01:17:28,499
It's better that way. I'm scared of your arguing.
I know this is right. you see
903
01:17:28,709 --> 01:17:30,052
I know it, but with your gill of the gab,
you'll muddle things up for me again, and I'll be lost
904
01:17:30,420 --> 01:17:33,071
I won't Freddie. I won't. I promise I won't.
But you must stay tonight. Just tonight
905
01:17:33,899 --> 01:17:36,152
- No, Hes
- Just tonight, Freddie. Only one night
906
01:17:36,370 --> 01:17:38,293
- No. Sorry. Hes
- Don't be so cruel. Freddie. How can you be so cruel?
907
01:17:38,729 --> 01:17:41,642
Hes. this is our last chance.
If we miss it. we're done for
908
01:17:42,209 --> 01:17:43,699
We're death to each other. you and I
909
01:17:44,029 --> 01:17:46,521
- That isn't true
- it is true. darling, you've known it longer than I have
910
01:17:48,779 --> 01:17:51,965
I'm such a damn fool and that's always been the trouble.
or I should have done this long ago
911
01:17:53,589 --> 01:17:56,968
That's it, you know. It's written
in great bloody letters of fire over our heads
912
01:17:57,359 --> 01:17:59,032
You and I are death to each other
913
01:18:04,779 --> 01:18:08,340
- I haven't finished them yet
- They're all right
914
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:16,855
I'm sorry, Hes, I'm so sorry.
Don't cry, please. You don't know what 'r does to me
915
01:18:17,500 --> 01:18:19,411
But not now.
Not this minute. Not just this minute. Freddie
916
01:18:20,089 --> 01:18:22,046
- You've got all your things here. You've got to pack
- I'll send for them
917
01:18:22,759 --> 01:18:25,330
- You promised you'd come bad! for dinner
- I know. I'm sorry about that
918
01:18:27,359 --> 01:18:28,997
But you can't break a promise like that.
You can't, Freddie
919
01:18:29,620 --> 01:18:33,215
Come back for dinner. I won't argue. I promise I won't.
and then if you want to go away afterwards...
920
01:18:34,070 --> 01:18:36,198
Come back. Freddie.
Don't leave me alone
921
01:18:40,969 --> 01:18:44,394
Don't leave me alone tonight
