and with the Industrial
Revolution came millionaires

who'd compete to throw
the most lavish parties

and they try to outdo
one another with their

big desserts or their huge hats

it even compete to see

who could have the most
magnificent mansions

one man plated his entire
bathtub in 24 karat gold leaf

imagine taking a bubble bath and bath

but miss aren't places
like that just in fairy tales

oh no no they're very real

trust me in fact

I used to spend my summers in a big mansion

just like that when I was your age

well back in the States Lucy

excuse me excuse me
enjoy the rest of your tour

Lucy giving children
tours in our galleries again

that's what our dosens are for

sorry Isabel

I was just passing through
and I guess I got pulled in

I love that exhibit

come along I need my
director of development upstairs

we've got a plan for the fundraiser tonight

so catch me up on where we are sure

so I reworked the seating chart

all of our major donors
will be sitting up front

and you will be between the Lord

Mayor and Ambassador Phillips oh Lucy

you remind me of me

resume directors aren't me

they're born

and you truly have the
makings of one of the greats

you know I'm relocating
back to New York soon

and I can't think of anyone
who works harder than you

thank you your passion and knowledge of

history is undeniable

and your organizational skills a top notch

well I decided to nominate you

as my replacement when I retire next month

Isabel really

oh my gosh that would be a dream come true

but before we pop the champagne

just one more hurdle

I do need to get the trustees
on board with you first

I will wear them down like

like like the Duke of
Wellington wore down Napoleon

at Waterloo precisely

okay name tags done

catering taken care of Isabel

speech printed and proofed

I don't think Hannibal had this much to do

crossing the Alps

anything else Josephine

that just about does it

I'd say we're ready for
the fundraiser tonight

well then since the new
exhibits going in downstairs

I might just sneak down for an early peak

also meeting the Hobart Foundation at 2

and then Lady Jacobs

to nail down her gift for the East Wing

and you still have to call back

that cute Cambridge
professor that wants to take you

out on a date

he didn't want to take me out on a date

he just wants my help
writing his grand proposal

you see you're a victim of your own success

but I should take these
down to the archives

oh I got it

and cover for me if anyone asks

have fun enjoy the new exhibit

oops sorry

happy birthday

thank you

excuse me sir

is this rubbish you're throwing out

hey that I am

why this pot right here
is actually Delph Pottery

it's a real treasure

you might wanna hang on to it

I had no idea

thank you you're welcome

take good care of it

hi Nigel did you have a good day great Lucy

oh this came for you

special delivery we're
from the USA looks official

HK Rork attorney at law

Lucy Windsor

I've been trying to reach
you since your great aunt

this can't be

Lucy I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt

thanks Isabel

she was a wonderful lady

she passed away last month

um is that her

yes Aunt Grace

the kindest

most adventurous soul you could ever meet

wow what a lovely estate

I'd guess Gilded Age era

upstate New York

oh close Rhode Island

it's called Wycliffe House

I grew up spending my summers there

your aunt live there

great aunt actually

her husband Arthur was last of the wycliffs

his grandfather

Henry built the house over 100 years ago

I spoke to my folks and

they said that Arthur didn't
have any remaining family

so Aunt Grace bequeathed
the whole thing to me

inheriting a mansion

that's something that
doesn't happen every day

Aunt Grace invited us up
there every single summer

until I handed off to Oxford

now who's that

ah Duncan son of the caretakers

my aunt took him in after
he lost his parents hmm

anyway oh Lucy

I hate to ask

but must you go all the
way to the stage right

now the trustees meeting
is just around the corner

apparently the way the will is written

if I don't go through

the property goes into a receivership

and becomes a big legal mess

I understand

do what you need to do

but please hurry back

I know I could get the
trustees to approve you

thanks Isabel

I will be back before
you even though I'm gone

oh I hope so

cause if I don't get a successor soon

they'll roast me like

like the Great Fire of London in 1666

precisely oh

have a good flight thank you

hello I'm Lucy Windsor

as if I needed to be told that

I recognized you in an instant

Eleanor of course

I'm so sorry

I didn't know you still
worked at the estate oh yes

how long has it been
again since you've been here

10 years I wanted to
come back sooner to visit

but work just kept me so busy

your Aunt Grace understood

she was always so proud of you

she surely missed in town

but she lived a long and happy life

I just wish you were still here

oh so do I honey come along

you must be exhausted
after your flight thank you

the backseat

well you are the mistress
of the estate now after all

but first and old friends

it is just as beautiful
around here as I remember

I had so many wonderful times here

and as I recall you

and Duncan spend a great
amount of time here together

too you are kind of sweet on each other

if memory serves

the Follies of youth

actually Lucy

about Duncan

it's okay Eleanor

he is one part of all of this
that I am happy to forget

there she is right where
you left her magical

haha

what is all this the welcoming committee

the fence in our pasture is falling down

and your Aunt Grace
could never say no to visitors

you go on in and get
settled honey thank you

the door sticks a little got it

it's a little sticky huh

Lucy Duncan

what are you doing in my house ah

Lucy what are you doing in
my house your house my house

what would give you that idea

it's not an idea it's a fact
that this is my house mine

okay I think maybe there's
been some kind of a mistake

why wouldn't Grace tell me that

she was leaving the house

to both of us

tell you why wouldn't
you tell me I don't know

maybe because I've been
here and you've been in London

regardless it's perfectly obvious

there's been some sort of a clerical error

you change your hair

yeah

so how you been Lucy oh
I've been good I've been really

really good good good

and you uh you

you work in some museum in London I heard

uh huh yeah

no and I might even become its director

knock well knock wood

hmm and you

you're some fancy architect now

I don't know I mean

I'm working for a big
commercial firm up in Boston

well I'm glad we're all caught up

excuse me Eleanor

why didn't you tell me about I tried

you didn't wanna know

I can make some tea

besides it's high time
you two bury the hatchet

Duncan this has been lovely

I am going to go take a little look around

be my guest my guest

this place is still amazing

the window back to the 1890s

they don't build houses like this anymore

and that's a good thing

give me a modern condo any day

a place you can heat

with up to date plumbing and electrical

still magical though

yeah I might look magical

but this place is slowly falling apart

not the buckets

it seems some disrepair
since the last time you visited

not to mention half of the
rooms already closed up

you see the problem yeah I'm starting to

Grace used to hold her
guilded Age ball in here

yep this place is
definitely seen better days

the last two years

I'm coming down here on the weekends

help Grace out with the upkeep when I can

that's surprisingly charitable of you

a brief lapse in judgment

I assure you

but seriously

this place is an absolute money pit

needs to be sold off at
the earliest opportunity

assuming you own it

which you don't

which I do and I'm well on my way to

coming up with a
brilliant sales pitch for it

that is if the developer

Mr Niven is open to hearing my presentation

Richard Niven

the billionaire oh

so you've heard of him yeah

he specializes in building golf courses

and I've heard that he's
interested in opening a new

one around here

turn the estate into a
golf course seriously

oh I'm sorry

did did you have a
better plan for this place

at this exact moment

but surely there must be a better

option than turning a
magnificent mistake into some

pudding green

this is 1890s at its finest

the stained glass

the marble floor house

with the old in with the new Duncan

how can you be so blind
to all the history around you

how can you be so blind to the bottom line

listen Frank Lloyd wrong

you are not going to move
a stone of this mansion okay

well then what do you suggest

this has got to be some big mistake

and Chris would never

put me in such an impossible situation

I suggest that we get
a little clarity from HK

Rourke attorney at law

and figure this out in
the morning fine fine

which hotel are you staying at in town

a hotel no I'm not staying at a hotel

I'm staying in the west
wing of my mansion great

then I'll be staying in

the east wing of my mansion great hmm

I'm gonna go that way today is fine

think after you

stop watching me leave stop first

Lucy how's life on your state

where do I start

turns out Duncan is staying here too Duncan

his father was a caretaker

he used to live here

but he's impossible as always

Duncan thinks he inherited
half the estate of a mistake

that sounds kind of romantic

trust me it is the opposite of romantic

but I have to admit

he does look pretty good

oh details please

what's he look like

well a little bit like our
statue of Marc Anthony

but with the same flair for betrayal

he's got some scheme to turn the place into

a golf course

a golf course

well that seems a bit tough exactly

but as soon as we
figure this whole thing out

with the lawyers in the morning

I am going to send Duncan packing

well good luck

Lucy thanks Jos

I'll need it

what is happening out there

hey hey Duncan

oh a beautiful morning to you

so you're still not an early riser

you ever hear of a little
thing called jet lag vaguely

but I'm happy to help you
get back on to local time

okay look

I'm a little tired

I could really use some more sleep

do you have to do that right now well

if you want a hot shower
before we go visit the lawyers

then yes the water heaters down

so I gotta fire up the old boiler

well can you chat more
quietly please oh you bet

I give up

you are HK Rook yes but Hannah is fine

hi Duncan hello Hannah

so you two know each other

Duncan took me to the New Port Regatta oh

how lovely

oh please sit down

first let me extend my sympathies

Grace was a big part of our community

thank you I really miss her

I do too that's why it's a little

odd to be talking business right now

and that brings us to the
question of what happens next

well Duncan

regarding that mistake
that you called me about

it's actually not a mistake

regarding Grace's will

the situation is actually quite clear

simply put you both on the estate

what but how can that be

what she said

Grace was quite specific

in her will

she arranged that you should both own 50%

and I'm sorry that I couldn't explain

the full situation until
you had both arrived

but Grace had sworn me to secrecy Duncan

Grace mentioned in her will
how much she appreciates

everything you

and your family did for her over the years

and she wanted to extend
her gratitude and Lucy

Grace knew that you loved
that place as much as she did

and he would always
have its best interest at heart

which is why

it makes absolutely no
sense that Grace would do this

well that much we agree on okay

so if I own half and I own half

and we have to come to some sort of

agreement like the truth of the matter is

the house is

all that's left of the
great Wycliffe fortune

and there's a small
stipend to pay for Eleanor

but that's it

and I'm here if you guys
have any more questions

thank you very much for
taking the time Hannah

we appreciate it

oh hey Duncan um

really good news

my client Mr Niven

has agreed to hear your
golf course presentation

I hope it helps

thanks yeah

so Hannah is the one who
found your potential buyer

yep for a small 10% finder's fee

she's just trying to help

in London we call that a
weak conflict of interest

how about we find a civilized
way of ironing us all out

for breakfast maybe so
that a weakness for waffles

I'm buying you read my mind

pancakes and waffles will do Duncan

thank you and for you Miss

wait let's see Randall

it's so nice to see you hey

oh Duncan and Lucy

nice to see you two together again

we're not together Duncan

you didn't tell me Moose is back down well

that's because I'm as
surprised as you are my friend

well welcome home Lucy

still like your waffles

with strawberries and a
pyramid of whipped cream

you have a fantastic memory

so what have you been up to

I'll just working here

helping Eleanor when she has errands

helping out with the festival

you should stop by

if you have time

I'd love to

okay I'll put this in

Randall still a who

at least he

had the courtesy to
send me a Christmas card

every now and again

you left the country

you never replied to any of my letters

you know what

water under the bridge

so how is it that

you're still so close with
everyone here in Newton

I thought you were some

hi flying architect in the big city

I've been coming down
to Newton every weekend

for one reason and one reason only

and that is the estate

it is a monster that needs constant feeding

and I am finished with it

but that house has been
here for over 100 years

how can you turn your back on it

music look Lucy

if we could just sell this estate

I would have the fund to
start my own architecture firm

and you could go back to London with a tidy

little nest egg

what do you say

but if Niven goes for it

what happens to the estate

well the plans that I suggested
would see the grounds

opened up for the fairways

and we would probably
have to lose the coach house

the gardens

bulldoze the gardens

Duncan over my dead body

do you have any idea
what it takes to maintain

to stay like this

no but I want to leave it in good hands

I don't know

maybe I could get it
designated as a historical

landmark and then

I could start applying
for grants to protect it

we would be lucky if Nibbon picked it up

other option is just putting on the market

and honestly

at this rate

it wouldn't even pass inspection

okay so what do you propose

I suggest that we sell
off a few odds and ends

so we have the funds to patch up the roof

while we try to figure out what to do with

the rest of the place fine

did you know that Belgian
waffles were invented in

the 1800s by the Prince Bishop of leash

nobody knows that Lucy

well what do you think dad

my money's on Lucy

she always was headstrong as a kit true

but Duncan's always got
a trick or two up the sleeve

it's a shame they can't just work together

I know of course

maybe they just need a nudge

coffee coffee coffee

what no out out shoe shoe
shoe shoe shoe shoe one out

out out out oh god

morning where's Eleanor

uh she left a note

she went to town

to help out with the festival

and left breakfast on the stove meanwhile

why don't you

put your world class
architectural skills to use and

fix the lock on the kitchen door

so Percy will say where he belongs Percy

I named the sheep that just

pushed his way into the kitchen

why Percy because he's so persistent huh

sounds like somebody else I know

I'll add it

to the list

so I've totaled the amount
of money we'll need for

the essential fixes before
we can even show this place

we'll need to touch up the paint

fix some of these windows

and of course

pay the roofers

better get started

this house is lasted for 100 years

I think it can make it through breakfast

no time like the present

Duncan Duncan

what are you doing with those

we need money to fix the roof remember

so I thought we could
sell off a few of these things

at the antique auction in Newton

it's just collecting dust

but these are Aunt Grace's things

and why cliff family heirlooms

sacrificing themselves

keep this house from falling apart

seems like the most noble duty of all

it's just random stuff

random stuff

that is a 19th century oil painting

yeah like trees

and that antique Venetian
face is in perfect condition

this whole thing oh

oh those chandeliers in the Great Hall

are probably worth

so no Duncan

I love those

okay how about this

we've got dozens of these

those are emblematic of
the fascination in the 1890s

of botany in floral history

we have to keep at least one okay

what is your obsession with history

no those are treasures
and this is Aunt Grace's diary

we certainly can't sell that

okay granite

that was a mistake

about this painting
with the pretty girl in it

haha very funny

this Victorian hallstand is an antique see

be practical for once
we need to fix this roof

okay fine make it quick

ready

okay

and this one

proud of you

may have Randall Collins

even give us a hand to
bring these down to auction

but I'm going with you

to make sure you get a fair price deal

sold one antique oil painting for 1,200

not bad that's 3,000 in total

all right I'll admit it you
have an eye for this stuff

my compliment the wonders
have received all right

it's like traveling back in time

it's fascinating isn't it

uh huh yeah

fascinating

you know that beer garden back there

sounds pretty fascinating to mind you

you go ahead

I'm gonna browse

Lucy Windsor is that
you Mr and Mrs Duranson

you remember my husband Marcus

of course Lucy

it's been ages

Randall told us you were in town

Grace would be so happy
to have you back home

here to handle the estate

no doubt yes

and give Hannah work a little competition

you and Duncan were
pretty serious back in the day

are they dating no

but Hannah's the top shot

at the darts contest every year

and Duncan's got a bullseye on his back

whether he knows it or not

well she can tag and release
him for all I'm concerned

well Eleanor says that

you're undecided about
what's to come of the estate

yes things are up in the air

but we'll figure it out Lucy

you must come by the cafe for dinner

did welcome you back to town

I would love to

but I'm a little concerned
about leaving Duncan in the

estate alone

goodness knows what
he'll try to sell off next

we'll bring him along
then more the merrier yeah

okay sure see you then okay

we'll take it

that's very gallant of you

are you buying me a gift with our money

no I got this 90% of our
antique money for repairs

okay I take back what I said

you always did have the tiny sweet spot

so now you remember

too bad posterity will
remember you as the guy

who tried to turn the
landmark into a sand trap

right and remind me

what was your idea again

I told you I'm thinking on it

oh can I grab one of these a cream

another way to a girl's
heart just like old times

eww those are pretty
yummy it smells good yeah

look at these

wow can you believe we once dress like this

decades from now

some modern architect will be

saying the same thing
about photographs of us

wow I love imagining who these people were

where they worked where
they lived who they loved

I forgot how much I love this festival

the antiques and the
costumes it's also unique

shave it's only once a year

it's too bad it can't last all year

what

nothing can we go back
to the state now yeah

so how's the life of pleasure

a lot more work than I expected and Duncan

he's still got a Napoleon complex

mixed with a dash of Gandis Khan

but in spite of Duncan's plans

I have an idea to save this place

uh oh I can hear the
wheels turning from here

what's your plan well

it's just that there's so
much history in this town

and I realize the

estate doesn't have to be
just a historical landmark

visitors can step back in time

like that Colonial
Williamsburg my nephew visited

exactly the town is

the perfect stop on the
mansion tourist circuit

and our little Newton doesn't
even have one museum

the challenge is going to
be how to make it happen

well if anyone can make it happen it's you

oh and Lucy

don't forget

your conference call with
the trustees is in four days

I'll be ready

thank you Josephine bye bye

you seriously think that plan is gonna work

were you eavesdropping

can't help it

echoey holes oh

you're not afraid of a little competition

are you afraid

not a chance

so as co owners of the estate

you don't mind if I present an alternative

proposal to your potential buyer Mr Niven

of course not

keep you out of my hair
while I work on my proposal

please have at it okay

and whichever idea Niven supports

we both agree to approve

sure okay have fun

I'm gonna save your house Aunt Grace

you mind turn down your music

really come on Duncan it helps me think

it literally prevents me from thinking fine

okay now you're humming

Lucy there are literally
39 other rooms in this place

are you sure don't want
to work in one of them

since the estates half mine

I believe this table is half mine

and this room inspires me

how's that presentation coming along great

did I tell you about my idea

to turn the solarium
into a botanical exhibit

did I tell you my plan to
turn the solarium into a

pro shop huh

according to my web search

there are already four

other golf courses within 30 miles

does this area really need another

according to my research

it could take

years to get a site declared
a historical landmark

ah so you've been researching my idea

guess my plans got you a little intrigued

yeah guilty intrigued

and how completely
impractical you still are

but just for argument sake

how would you possibly fund this

I'm going to devote part
of the house to showcase

antique vendors and
local craftspeople from town

and we can sell their goods here

it's called revenue

revenue and that revenue would be

enough to keep this entire place running

I think it's worth a try

I think you still got your
head up in the clouds

all right you know what

if we're going to share this estate

then maybe we should set some house rules

great idea for starters

how about no drying your laundry

on the priceless antiques fine

if you agree to no more
than one hour of your

music a day fine now

if that's all we are do at
the pub for dinner tonight

we look I said yes for both of us

I couldn't help it

yeah it's great

I'm starving

I'll see you downstairs in five minutes

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

well look who's here our guests of honor

what's all this

it's nothing

just a little dinner to welcome
you back home to Newton

you didn't have to do this nonsense

you two are officially our guests of honor

thank you

I sense a trap

so hope these rumors
aren't true of selling the estate

and high tailing it out of town

you wanna take this one

we're still trying to figure things out

but I am working on a
plan to save the old place

well Wycliff houses this town's heritage

I can't think of

anyone better than you two to watch over it

do I clip house

do I clip house

you know Lucy

I remember all those
summers you visit Grace

you always seem so at home here

name one thing that London
has that we don't have here

okay um the museums

I'd say this Old Town's a museum

are you that

look all joking aside

I love it here

but my dream job is waiting
for me back in England

dream job huh

well I'll admit

dream job is pretty serious

but desserts like this

only come once in a lifetime desserts

truly you didn't have to do all this

but we did see

your Aunt Grace has helped every single

person in this town in
one way or another and

Marcus and I got engaged
with the ball that you're on

used to throw every year

and Randall Learned to ride at your stables

and it's high time that we repaid the favor

welcome back

welcome back

welcome back Lucy

I love this part of the estate

I had forgotten how hospitable
everyone is in this town

yeah some things never change

I'm starting to get the feeling

they're trying to convince us to stay

I could think of worse things than staying

oh you hear that

what

sound of crickets instead of us squabbling

it's pretty nice

hey tell me something

what happened that last
summer we were here together

you were headed off to grad school

you were gonna be thousands of miles away

how could it have worked

so you just cut and ran

it was the practical thing to do

practical again

someone had to be

you were always the dreamer

okay look I

I know my idea is just a pipe dream

and you're right

it does take forever to
get a historical designation

but I can't just sit by and
watch all of this go away

this estate is home to way
too many happy memories

for me and and Aunt Grace

I miss Grace too

you forget I lived here year round

I know every inch of this place

I grew up here

I went to Boston to start over

but Grace needed my help

and this estate and all of its needs

kept calling me back over and over and over

and I need to be done with it

this firm is the most important thing to me

I've always been focused on the past

you've always been focused on the future

who says history has to repeat itself

what do you mean okay well let's face it

a house divided cannot stand

go on I want a historical site

you want a golf course

why can't we have both

I am not following you

how about a resort that showcases history

it's the best of both worlds

interesting

but Niven is expecting a golf course

plain and simple

but he's a businessman

and we'd be doubling the
potential revenue stream

and preserving history

more tourists flock to this town every year

that's an opportunity true

and we could hold Grace's Gilded Age Ball

just like she used to do
and really show off the estate

to live in the way it's meant to be seen

that seems very ambitious

we have two days to
come up with a sales pitch

what do you think

a golf course that
doubles as a history park

yeah why not

maybe it's the moonlight

but I think you might
be onto something deal

deal

so the fountain stays put

that's right

we won't have to move a stone

and in the Great Hall
becomes our grand lobby

we make a pretty good team

like Hamilton and Burr
before all that unpleasantness

sure what's next

you know for an architect

he has some pretty good hands on skills

thanks my dad used to

let me help him fix things around the house

do you know that Aunt Grace and

Arthur were married here on the estate

I wonder how many other
weddings this property has seen

weddings it's not a bad
idea to add the proposal

yeah you know

courtship in the late
1800s was truly fascinating

gentlemen's invitation to a dance

was often delivered to a lady in a letter

to avoid any misunderstanding

and suitors would woo their beloved with

moon that serenades and
poetry and acts of chivalry

of course sounds exhausting

will you help me move this please sure

oh watch out

chivalrous

well I think I'm gonna go wash up

and then what do you
say we head to the festival

it's so great that you're
bringing back Grace's killed

at age ball

well it is the finale of our pitch to Niven

to preserve Wycliff found

give me those

I'll put these up around town

I'll show Nibbon what
Wycliffe means to this town

take a shot folks

take a shot and win a prize

come on take a shot

and win a prize

think I'm a beautiful antique
feast from the Gilded Age

Miss what about you

oh no no no

thank you very much

come on Lucy looks fun

I bet you picked up some
skills back in England

the only targets I'm
used to hitting these days

are third quarter donations

no thank you

no thank you I get it

you're scared

that's cool scared

okay

since you put it that
way I'll take two turns

I'll show you who's scared

yeah what was that it's
all over the place look may I

so the thing with darts is

you gotta line it up from your shoulders

raise your elbow

you could go alright here goes

hey look who's here

looks like you're getting
into the spirit of things

Lucy we're just

taking a break from the
estate to enjoy the festival

you know what this does look like

I'm gonna play too Hannah

you clear out all my
prizes every year thank you

well Duncan's been really mysterious lately

what have you two been up to

just trying to do what's best for our place

well I've set up the
perfect opportunity for you

I hope you're ready for Niven

maybe your sales pitches

more on target than the dirt game

and then you can be done with the estate

and head back home

this still the plan isn't it

yes it is

don't feel bad Lucy it's a quiet skill

you know Oxford we
start with our weaker hand

and we play freshman

it wanted me around the team oh thank you

that's nice

oh that was amazing

oh I'm glad my postgrad
came in handy for something

well thank you for sharing

hmm you're welcome

sharing an estate is easy

sharing my popcorn

that's a challenge

well I'd say we're doing
a pretty good job at it

you know we're always different

but somehow it just works

you know what they say about opposites

so uh you and Hannah seem pretty close huh

sure well she's been
very helpful with things

you sure it ends there

yes I'm sure it ends there ha

what about you are you uh

are you seeing anyone back in London

no not really

the last guy

he was perfectly nice

but he just didn't appreciate

the things I'm passionate about you know

the final straw was when
I caught him listening to a

cricket match at a Michelangelo exhibit

I'll head back

I've got a conference called to prepare

not to mention a Gilded
Age ball to plan let's go

that came down fast

you could have fire
started warm this place up

oh I'll be a lot easier to
fix things up around here

if our fingers aren't frozen solid

it's good hurry up

I'm trying get closer freezing

we're calls again

I'll just be right here trying to get this

hi Josephine Lucy

how's the life of luxury

lovely just missing a
few modern conveniences

like heating

can you hear my teeth chattering

and Duncan still a battle of wills actually

it's been a little more
Gandhi than Gengus lately

go figure well

I just wanted to let you know that I

emailed you the spreadsheets you asked for

with all of the donor totals for your call

perfect thank you

and I'll give you a heads
up when I know what time

your call is with the trustees

in the meantime

stay warm bye

Josephine thank you

bye finally

this is better

feeling okay in the homefront yeah

just getting my ducks in a row

for my conference call with the trustees

big promotion

you really want this new job huh

of course I do and why
don't you sound so convinced

it's just I got into museum
work because I love history

preserving the past

sharing a story that's
been told for centuries

but my job keeps pulling me
away from all that you know

so much of the real work
is politics and red tape

budgets and donors

so with this new promotion

this this dream job allow
you to do more what you love

actually I don't know

then why exactly do you want it

who would that be I just
invited a few friends over

that's how I think

you all can showcase
your merchandise right here

so I could exhibit my vintage costumes here

exactly and Eleanor

I was thinking you could
showcase your baking skills

and a little bakery

will set up in the downstairs kitchen

wonderful you know

I bet half the folks in town would jump at

the chance to sell
their antiques and crafts

appear to visiting guests

that's the idea

and if our buyer goes for our proposal

your crafts and antiques
will have a home here at

year round so what do you think

I'd say we think it's all a great idea

fantastic well

I'll need you all to be set up

for our presentation to Nivin

and we expect to see
you all tomorrow at the ball

tomorrow night

we can't wait

oh we look forward to
seeing you take the first dance

just like Grace and Arthur used to do

first dance well we can't
argue with tradition can we

wait a second

don't tell me that

you are still self conscious about dancing

a little okay

how about a little refresher course

may I have this dance

I haven't danced in years really

I thought your job was
just going to fancy parties

it's not my job

and anyway when I do go to fancy parties

I'm there to schmooze donors

there's no time for dancing

and what will happen
after this big promotion

double the schmoozing I guess

so um

I got some things that I wanna

no no I have a no I do
because of the conference

that's right big conference that's right

thanks for the dance yes yeah yeah yeah

yeah good luck thank you anytime

goodbye bye

hey hey so you and Lucy ready for the ball

yeah yeah I'd say so

of course you realize my friend

you now have a second chance at what

come on Duncan

Lucy was the one that got away

we both know it

yeah well she's heading back to London soon

and history will repeat itself

hmm as I recall

last time she left

you didn't exactly beg her to stay

it was a responsible thing to do

well there's a reason you and Lucy are back

and chose lives now what

you never know if you
hold yourself back thanks

thank you

oh Eleanor those smell delicious

will you put them over there
on the table for me please

you got it thank you

what do you think
about this here oh perfect

your aunt would be so proud of everything

you've done here

thank you Lucy

you got a second

what is it Nivon's gonna be here any minute

I know I know

I just wanna show you something okay

tell them I snuck it down to Randall's

for the rust removal and polish

it looks amazing

everything does oh yeah

and Eleanor even found
some Grace's old decorations

so

you feeling ready for the night

yeah I guess

but I have to admit I am a
little nervous oh come on

was Joan of arc nervous when

she rallied those French troops

well no but things didn't
work out very well for her

okay that's a good point

good point um

what was Cleopatra nervous

did she retreat when the Greek showed up

oh it was the Romans actually

not the Greeks

but anyway those are
important figures from history

that's exactly my point

so are you

um

we should finish getting
ready yeah yeah yeah

welcome Mr Niven

thank you for your interest
in buying Whitecliff House

my pleasure

Hannes told me great things about you both

but we have a vision
to present to you today

and though it might not
be quite what you expected

we believe it's an even

better opportunity than just a golf course

so without further ado

imagine a resort

with all the amenities
of a 5 star hotel golf spa

luxury accommodations

and with all the history
of a world class museum

and as the guests wander through the estate

they will stroll back in time

and imagine themselves
as Vanderbilt's or Morgan's

living the lives of gentlemen or debutantes

they will walk amid living history

and experience life in
the Gilded Age firsthand

then afterwards

they might enjoy a round of golf or

a cocktail by the fire

please follow me

and our rose garden

provides the ideal location
for weddings and events

while pangomage to the
estates historic character

all with 5 star dining and accommodations

all our plans are here in our proposal

and here's our vision

of how the house can be
renovated and preserved

a fusion of historic
splendor and modern luxury

while keeping this
magnificent estate intact

all while delivering

one of the finest golf
courses in New England

please

thank you

what is going on

this is not what we discussed it's fine

everything is gonna be fine

you'll see just wait until tomorrow

and you'll still get your
finders free I promise

oh I hope you know what you're doing

more and more people

are visiting the town of Newton lately

making this a unique
business opportunity for you

but it's more than that

I spent all my summers here as a girl

and it was the happiest time of my life

I'd like others to experience that

too which is

why I'd like to make this
a condition of the sale

and on that note

let me show you where you could plan to put

the back night

and at our ball tonight

you'll get a glimpse of
what life was like here in

the Gilded Age

looking forward to it

I hate to interrupt your fairy tale

but I'm trying to round
up all of the trustees

for your conference call later

but everyone's in different time zones

one's traveling in Dubai

another Singapore

I'll keep you posted great

I'm just juggling a few things here

but I'll be ready Lucy

the caterers are here

I need your help

sounds like a gently colder away

I have to get ready for the ball have fun

and I'll give you 1 hour
heads up for your call

so that you can get settled

perfect thanks

Josephine bye

who invited you by sending a letter

but I was worried that it would take

you look amazing

you look pretty nice yourself

thanks I um

I borrowed this from Randall

I'm feeling a little overdressed

no you don't

suits you

shall we

may I introduce our hosts for the evening

Lucy and Duncan Wycliff House

Susie aren't you a vision

oh your aunt would be so happy

there's dancing in the ballroom again

thank you Eleanor

you know I would take this over some stuffy

donors cocktail party any day

I don't see Nevin Lucy it's time

your aunt always opened
the gala with a few words

hey thanks for coming

hey

thank you all for coming tonight

before our evening begins

I wanna share with you something

my Aunt Grace always told
me how her grandfather in law

Henry Wycliffe felt that
this house was for everyone

here the gardener might
find himself at dinner

eating peach pie next to
President Grover Cleveland

Henry opened his doors to all

and my Aunt Grace would be so happy

to know that we're keeping
that spirit alive tonight

I'm not sure I can follow in
my Aunt Grace's footsteps

but I will try my best

and on that note

let the first dance begin

are you ready ready as I'll ever be

you okay everyone is staring

you're right but I think
they're staring at me

wondering how I got such
a beautiful dance partner

ha ha

so you're due back in London next week

well I suppose

every good fairy tale has to have an ending

maybe

being back here I've
remembered some history what

how happy I used to be here

how happy I am now

what is it Josephine's
been texting I missed it

sorry Duncan I'll be back as soon as I can

Josephine I'm so sorry I missed your call

it was so noisy here I
couldn't hear the phone ring

Lucy are you ready

yeah for when uh for now

your conference call with the trustees

hi everybody um Lucy is
that a she behind you yeah

and now I'd like to talk
you through some numbers

how'd it go

honestly not great

sorry between the sheep

the music and keeping them waiting an hour

it was kind of a disaster

but the good news is at
least I can finally relax now

how about a dance it sounds great

thank you for a truly wonderful evening

let me read over your
proposal and run the numbers

and I'll have an answer

for you by 8:30 tomorrow morning

good night good night

good night after you

no pressure no pressure at all

8:30 right on time

Duncan whatever happens

I really wanna thank you

for trying to do something noble here and

meeting me halfway

perhaps I would make a pretty great team

great party last night

and I went over the numbers afterwards

I like the property

like the views

like the town

but I'm a straight shooter

and I'm afraid restoring this estate to its

former glory would simply cost too much

this place likely needs updated plumbing

mechanical electrical

and other things

we'd only be able to guess at right now

so for a full and modern restoration

I'm sorry I'm afraid the
numbers just don't work

the most cost

effective solution would
be a simple tear down

and building a brand new
golf course from the ground up

and I assume that's what
you'd be proposing sir

you're not seeing the bigger potential

no no I'm sorry

my heart says yes

but the numbers say no

and the numbers always win

I'm afraid my answer is no

I'm sorry to hear that

will you guys just excuse
us for a moment please

let me walk you to your car thank you

Duncan I told you this would happen

I delivered you a buyer on a silver platter

and all you had to do was go along the plan

I told Livin that

you would be presenting
him with a golf course

and we gave him one and more

look Lucy and I

father Lucy

you promised to get Lucy on board

not throw me overboard

look you said it yourself

it was fine to tear down the estate

if that's what it took to make this sale

yes yes I said it was fine
to tear down the estate

but now I think we have a better option

which Niven doesn't want

okay look we have about
a day to sell Niven on

the plan that he expected

I suggest that

you come up with
something to change his mind

just give me a second

Lucy

so you're still fine tearing
down the entire place

were you were you just snooping on me

echoey halls remember

yeah I I I promised Hannah that I would

try to convince you to sell the nivet

to level the estate for a golf course

well it just felt like
the most practical plan

that tactical again

the more proof we were
never right for each other

I don't know why I'm so surprised Duncan

you always do what's right for you

wait that's not Lucy

Lucy

Isabel I am so sorry about last night

why would you need to apologize

well after the hotel conference fiasco

oh yes well Lucy

your spreadsheet spoke for themselves

so I hope you're getting a chance to relax

because when you get back

you'll have some big shoes to step into

which shoes specifically mine

the trustees voted to approve you

you're kidding

well they'll be a boosting salary of course

that's wonderful

yes and we'll discuss it all on Monday

when you get back in London

you need an answer now Lucy

perhaps you don't understand

the trustees approved you

you got the job you wanted

the one a million people
would kill for yes now um

of course I'm as happy as

as Alexander when he conquered

Egypt in three thirty two BC

yes no exactly

I gladly accept the job Isabel thank you

and I will see you tomorrow
when I fly back to London

good bye bye

oh Lucy you're up early

I was wondering if

you could give me a ride to the airport oh

of course didn't know
you were going back to

England so soon

honestly neither did I

well then just let me finish up here

and I'll get my coat and
I'll be right with you okay

Marcus we got a problem

really gonna miss this place

and you'll be missed in Newton

so how long is your fight back door to door

about 10 hours

but I brought some
reading and Grace's diary

thought I'd take it back
with me as a keepsake

I think Grace would have liked that

goodbye Lucy goodbye

something wrong Duncan

you usually

wolf down my undercrystal
sandwich in two seconds flat

and flies off in about an hour

and I need to finish this pitch

you know Eleanor just called to tell me

Lucy left for the airport

she left

head strong as always

who's the head strong
one here and proud as well

you think I'm being proud

she won't even give me a chance to explain

you let her go once

are you gonna let her slip
through your fingers again

what choice do I have

go stop her

I don't think she wants to
see me right now you know

your dad and I were good friends

if he was here I'm
pretty sure what he'd say

what's that

being caretaker of the estate

is more than just changing light bulbs

your dad thought he

was a caretaker of something precious

he knew some things were worth saving

Randall got a job for you

we

are now boarding all rooms

we now welcome all back

Lucy Lucy Lucy hey wait

Tonkin what are you doing here

I need to talk to you

I couldn't let you go back to London again

without you understanding

I never wanted to let
you go that last summer

I know I

I read Aunt Grace's journal
and her descriptions of

how you waited for me
every summer before I arrived

and how sad you were
every summer after I left

I need you to give me one more chance

a chance for what

I've been working on
this proposal for Niven

it's a long shot but I
think he might just go for it

would you just postpone
your flight for one more day

I don't know Duncan

you were right it does
seem a little impractical

letting you go was

the most practical decision
that I have ever made

so it's the worst
decision of my entire life

now I'm asking you to trust me

please

what did you have in mind

I will tell you all about it
on the way back right now

I believe we have a
billionaire to catch okay

right no I understand

Mr Nibbon's time is incredibly limited okay

what we will certainly try

thank you so much yeah

bye bye okay

so Nevid is flying out to
Aspen to meet his grandkids

but his assistant said that
we might be able to catch

him before he checks

out of his hotel and heads to the airport

but he's leaving very soon

you alright

yes sir and I am

shoot it's the festival I
forgot it's the last day

we'll have to go on foot alright

oh wow we gotta hurry
okay come on follow me

excuse me excuse us excuse me

oh this is impossible sorry sorry

listen young man I've
got a plane waiting for

I just can't figure it out
it's never happened before

probably just flooded the engine

have it up and running in no time

hey Duncan hold up come here

how much

look at that ready to go
unless you wanna grab a bite

I know a great restaurant
nearby just drive please

Mr Nevin do you have just a minute or two

look I appreciate your efforts

but you need to understand

I'm not in the habit of

reconsidering an offer
I've already turned down

right but we're not talking
about a purchase anymore

we're talking about a small seed investment

less risk for you

much more return

now you told us that your heart said yes

but the numbers said no right

well now I think you'll
find the numbers say yes

I was able to rework some
of the renovation costs

and save us some money

so after an initial investment

we can renovate as we go

funded solely by profits

it's all in here

I'll look at it on the plane

but even assuming your number set up

why would I want to
invest in a historical resort

for a reason

you can't put a price on
preserving your legacy

your grandfather

right okay well

how do you want

your grandkids to remember their grandpa

as a generous man who
put them through college

my aunt used to tell me
stories about another generous

man a railroad bear named Henry Wycliffe

who was a very wealthy man

but he also wanted everyone around

him to live rich lives too

he built this whole town

it's parks it's library

his spirit is everywhere here

you can see for yourself

it's all in here

people still remember his generosity

and if you have the vision
to help preserve his legacy

then maybe in 100 years from now

people will be remembering
you with the same fondness

that's the great thing about history

it lasts forever

I'll be in touch

let's go

haha let's go haha

I just got off the phone with Hannah

I think you may have just sold the money

all convincing donors was my job

was I realized something my future

isn't in some office five
stories above the exhibits

I love doing spreadsheets

my future is here

so you'll stay

this is where I belong

my home is here and

so is my heart

bring it apart

great thank you

not bad not bad at all

so how does it feel to
have your architectural

office in your own house

my house wait a second

I thought this was your house

it's our house

it's our house

who does it go guys

something to marry no
