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€œ!? 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.

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.

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. 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.

Freddie? - Accepting a job in South America as a test pilot 870 01:14:54,250 --> 01:15:00,269 Test pilot?

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.

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.

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.

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.
