All language subtitles for The House of Eliott - S02E12 - Episode Twenty-Four.eng

Thank you.

Well, it's always been our aim

to raise women's consciousness

to the effect that clothes have,

not just on those with
whom they live and work,

but on themselves.

Your latest designs have
an everyday quality,

which appeals to a wider
range of women

than merely those who can afford
haut couture, Miss. Eliott,

is this a deliberate policy

and one we may expect
you to continue?

It is, and yes, you may,

in conjunction of course
with our exclusive range,

on which we continue
to concentrate.

Do you plan to promote
your more accessible ranges

through any of the major
London emporiums?

Not yet.

That the success of Elmer
Jeffard-Hendry's film

has attracted a lot of
interest in your work.

Did you enjoy designing
for the cinema?

Yes, we did.

Excuse me, Miriam
Sargisson, Sears-Roebuck.

Good afternoon.

Would you give my card
to the Miss. Eliotts?

Certainly, Miriam Sargisson.

Thank you.

Thank you ladies, you
may go and change now.

Thank you, gentlemen,

I hope you have everything
you need.

So designing for the
theatre was an experience

you would like to repeat?

Yes, we enjoyed our
association with

Dame Caroline Troy very much.

Has the house of Eliott
any plans to open a branch

in say, Paris, or Roma?

No. No.

Our interests are firmly based
in London for the moment.

Well done, girls, thank you.

I'm sure you'd like to
know the Miss Eliotts

are proposing to extend
your contracts

by a further three months,

if you're willing
to remain with us.

Thank you, Mrs. Burgoyne,
that would suit me very well.

And what about you, Liddy?

Do you wish to stay?

Oh, very much, thank you.

Good, bring me that dress when
you take it off, would you?

Yes, of course.

That's good news then.

I'm really pleased.

We make a good team.

You've taught me a lot, Kitty.

I really appreciate
your help, you know.

Will you let me take you out
to celebrate our new contracts?

Oh, I can't, sorry.

I'm meeting Gerald and I'm late.

Thanks. Anyway.

Another time perhaps.

Yes. Mwah.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Could Miss Evangeline tell
us about the state of her

friendship with Lord Montfort?

The subject of this interview
is the House of Eliott,

and the showing of our
latest collection.

Does Miss Evangeline
expect to see Lord Montfort

-in the foreseeable future?
-Excuse me, please.

Evie?

Your last questions please,
ladies and gentlemen.

No, no, that's fine.

Sorry. I'm just going.

It's all right, Liddy.

I'm just tired.

Here, come on, have a good cry.

They say it's good for you.

But it does make a mess of
one's makeup, doesn't it.

Kitty and I are really pleased
about our new contracts.

So you've decided to stay?

That's good, I'm glad.

I wanted to go out
and celebrate.

It seems a pity, doesn't it,

not to mark the occasion
with something.

I don't suppose you'd
like to come home

and have supper with
me and my husband?

Liddy, that's very
kind of you, but I-

It'll only be pot luck
with the food.

-Of course, I'd love to.
-Oh, good.

Alice, thank you for all
your hard work today.

It was my pleasure.

I think it went very
well, are you pleased?

Yes I am.

Here's to
your new contract.

Three more months
with the House of Eliott.

And may they
be very happy ones, Liddy.

I'm sure they will be.

-Welcome to our home.
-Yes. Welcome.

-This is a charming room.
-Thank you.

I was on embarkation leave.

Married on Monday, and
at Ypres by Friday.

Are these your friends?

They went through most
of the war together.

Peter was decorated for saving
the life of one of them.

It was nothing, really.

Which one did you save?

He isn't in that picture,
he took it.

Actually, he planned to become
a professional photographer.

I wonder if Jack ever did.

Jack? What was his surname?

Maddox. Yes, Jack Maddox,
that was it.

I don't believe this, Jack
Maddox is my brother-in-law.

-The same chap?
-Yes.

So, you all lost contact?

We got split up, and then, well,

a lot of it was best
forgotten, you know.

Now this fellow, George,

he was studying
archaeology before the war.

I believe he was taken prisoner.

But I don't know what
became of the other chap.

Jack Maddox, hey?

Astonishing coincidence.

Jack actually did become
a photographer.

In fact, now he's a
director of moving pictures.

You really should
meet him, Peter.

I don't know.

A lot of water's gone under the
old bridge since those days.

Nevertheless, I think this
calls for another bottle.

Is Jack Beatrice's husband then?

Yes.

I don't recall seeing
him around.

No. No, Jack's been busy lately.

Liddy, we should arrange a
surprise reunion for them all.

Yes, but how will we
trace the others?

The war office?

I don't know, we could try.

Jack Maddox speaking.

Alexander, are you in London?

I see.

Look, it's very late
this evening,

can't it wait until-

Right, I'll see you in
half an hour's time.

Goodbye.

I'm sorry, for walking
out like that.

No, you had every
right to be angry.

I know, but I shouldn't have
let it upset me like it did.

Did you have
a nice evening?

Yes.

Oh, you'll never guess what.

Liddy's husband, Peter,
was in the war with Jack.

Really?

We're thinking of arranging
a surprise reunion.

There was four of them.

Jack, Peter, George Morton,

and another man.

Hugh Bailey.

-Oh, Evie.
-What?

Hugh died of his wounds
long after the war.

I remember Jack used
to go and visit him

in some awful nursing home.

It made him so angry,

the way people like Hugh
were just forgotten about.

Well, a reunion isn't
such a good idea then.

No, it's a lovely idea, but,

well perhaps just confine it
to Jack and Liddy's husband.

I know, we could invite
Jack out on some pretext

and then surprise
him with Peter.

Well, it's your birthday
next week.

Yes. Well, that would do.

Another meeting here
between you and Evie?

I must talk to her, Jack.

And I'm certain your sister
will try to prevent it.

Can't you, for once,
think of her.

She's trying to accept the
fact that she's lost you,

that you did the
one decent thing,

and withdrew on her account
from an impossible situation.

What are you proposing
Alexander,

to set her up as your mistress?

Visit her whenever your
official duties,

your personal obligations,
allow.

Do you think that would
make her happy?

She loves me Jack.

And that gives you the
right to wreck her life?

I've wrecked my own.

Status, self-respect,
marriage, all gone.

There's nothing left between
Elizabeth and myself.

Except reproach on her part,
and resentment on mine.

As for my career,

my obsession with Evie so
impaired my judgement .

They demanded your
resignation, didn't they?

That's what happened.

But you let Evie believe-

I've lost everything on
her account, everything,

except perhaps her affection.

Help me to see her,
Jack, please.

You got me.

Jack, what is it?

What did you want
to see me about?

I need your advice.

Alexander's back in the country.

Oh, no, Jack.

He wants to see Evie.

He's asked me to arrange
a meeting,

and I naturally refused but,

I wonder how far do we go?

It's her life.

Jack, he is unprincipled
and selfish.

I have no scruples whatsoever
in keeping them apart.

You know the truth about
why he resigned?

Yes I do.

But Evie doesn't.

I want to save her
from that pain.

I'm convinced we're doing
the right thing, Jack,

by keeping them apart.

You don't think you're
prolonging a role

which you no longer have,

after all she is-

What? My sister, not my child.

Is that what you're
going to say?

Well, I still feel responsible
for her.

We've been so busy putting
this collection together,

but now that's been shown-

She has even more time to brood.

Yes. Jack, would you join us
for supper one day next week?

If we can celebrate
your birthday.

And the success of your
film in Germany.

With pleasure.

Good. I'll tell Evie.

-Evie?
-Hmm?

One of the reporters at the show

raised an interesting point,

about marketing a range
of our day wear

through one of the major stores.

What do you think?

Well, it's certainly
worth investigating.

Perhaps Alice could develop
that area of our business.

Her organising ability
is underused.

Rather than the other?

As well as the other, I think.

Certainly Mrs. Hill.

Miss Eliott.

Alice, whenever you're free,

I'd like to have a
word in my office.

Of course.

We feel that our day wear
range could be developed,

possibly through one of the
larger London retailers.

Your experience makes
you the perfect candidate

for the management
of such a project.

Surely you don't mean
ready-made clothes?

There's nothing wrong with
ready to wear clothes, Alice,

providing their well-made.

We would ensure that any
garment bearing our label

meets our own stringent
standards.

Forgive me, Alice, you seem
less than enthusiastic.

I suspect Alice disapproves
of the whole idea.

Don't you, Alice?

I would prefer to say
that I remain unconvinced

that becoming less exclusive

will prove, in the long
run, to be beneficial.

You have every right to
your view, of course.

And my position here is
premiere vendeuse

keeps me fully occupied.

Especially with the
engagement of the mannequins

which is attracting so
much new business.

Really, my hands are full.

Happy birthday.

Oh, thank you.

-Shall we?
-Of course.

This is our table,
but we are three.

No, we're five.

It can't be.

Good to see you, Jack.

Dear old chap.

Peter's Liddy's husband,

Liddy is one of our mannequins.

And you are Mrs. Hansen?

-How do you do?
-Hello.

This-

This is incredible.

Liddy.

You look just the same.

And you look very well.

I've heard from the
geographical society

apparently Lieutenant
George Morton is in Crete

on an archaeological excavation,

but I have his address,
and we can write.

Oh good.

I have to tell you all, I
owe my life to this man.

He braved a bombardment to
get me to a field hospital.

It was nothing Jack, please.

Nonsense. You've saved my life.

God, we were close to
four of us, we're we?

We were.

But one gets separated.

You know that Hugh two
died from the wounds

he received that night?

I'm sorry to hear it.

Oh, and what about George?

Great fellow, George.

Well he was.

Do you think he got through?

He deserved to.

I hope so but, I
rather doubt it.

Poor George.

Well, that's the past.

Tonight is Beatrice's
birthday so let's drink to her

and to the future.

To Bea and to
the future.

How'd you take your
coffee, Miss Sargisson?

Black, please.

No cream, no sugar.

-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

It was the costumes
you designed for

Elmer Jeffard-Hendry's film

that first brought your
work to my attention.

Though they naturally
would not be suitable

for the Sears-Roebuck catalogue.

My job is to scour the
fashion houses of Europe

for lines which we might
wish to include in our range.

Your collection the other week
prompted me to look closer

at you and well, I
like what I see.

Well, thank you.

In my opinion, your clothes
had exactly the sharp,

practical, appeal the American
woman wants right now.

Now I wish to establish
whether, in principle,

you ladies would be interested
in marketing under licence

to Sears Roebuck, a range
of your designs.

In America?

In America.

Obviously we're very
flattered by your interest,

Miss. Sargisson, and
subject to the details

of any contract proving
satisfactory to us,

I think we can say that
we're interested.

Very interested.

I'm delighted to hear it.

Now I must go.

Good day, Miss. Eliott.

Good day, and thank you.

-And Miss. Eliott.
-Good day.

I will be in touch with you
when I've made my decision.

Just ticking over these days,

this larger workshop's
virtually unused.

Take a look before
we have that drink?

Before my father-in-law's death,

both these workshops
were fully employed.

We manage to get by comfortably
enough on

what we produce, but it's
hardly what I had in mind

for myself when we used
to plan our futures.

You were always going
to be a photographer,

and George, well,

George couldn't wait to get
back to some damn dig or other.

Poor old Hugh had no future
at all, as it turned out.

What about you?

What would you be doing
if you had the choice?

Oh, I don't know.

You see, I just jog
along these days.

And you?

Are you busy with another film?

I'm working on an idea.

Oddly enough, it's
about the war.

Some things that I would
like to put behind me

but which refuse to
be laid to rest.

Can't get a studio to
accept it at the moment,

it's not commercially attractive
enough for the backers.

Can't you finance it yourself.

Go into production on my own?

Well, not impossible,
but it's a huge step.

One that I'm not sure
I'm ready for yet.

Well, what would you need?

A studio for a start.

Somewhere with,

well, about this
amount of space.

Can you get that sorted,
thank you.

I apologise for intruding
like this.

What are you doing here?

I've come to see Evangeline.

Well, she's not in the building,

she won't be back for hours.

Then I shall wait.

This is unpardonable.

I've come to see your sister.

If she doesn't wish to see me,

I shall of course leave at once.

I have already told you,

she will be some considerable
time,

and she will not
wish to see you.

On what authority do
you speak for her?

You take too much upon
yourself, Beatrice.

How dare you say that?

You're angry because you
know that what I say is true.

If I'm angry it's because
your self-indulgence

is threatening Evangeline's
happiness.

If I'm over-protective it's
because you forced me to be.

Go away, Alexander,

before you do any more harm.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I have Lady Bainbridge
in the fitting room.

She wanted a word, shall
I say you're engaged?

No, I shall see her.

Excuse me.

Is Miss. Evangeline here today?

No, my Lord.

She isn't expected
back for some time.

See that she receives
this, will you?

And tell Miss. Beatrice that
I could not, after all, wait.

Yes.

And this could be our
production office.

We're gonna be a thundering
success, Jack.

Peter, I think it's best
to begin in a small way.

Keep things informal.

'Till we know how we get
on as a team, I mean.

We're a good team, Jack.

We proved that long ago.

We did, didn't we?

Well, the set will
be modest enough.

A suggestion of trenches, a
skyline of shattered trees.

Your carpenters can
make those for me?

Of course they can.

Just tell me what you want
and leave the rest to me.

Oh here, let me help
you with that.

Thank you.

You look happy.

I am, because of Peter.

I never thought he'd
be like this again.

Well, you'd never
know it, would you

but well he was injured
too, you see?

Not physically, but in himself.

When he came back
from the trenches

he was different.

Working with Jack is going
to do him so much good.

Good.

I've heard from George Morton.

Oh, what did he say?

Well, he said he'd look
Jack and Peter up

next time he's in London.

We're ready for you now, Liddy.

Thank you.

I don't want it there,
neither do I want it there.

I want it where I
asked for, there.

Now get them to pull
their socks up, John.

My God, Jack, this
brings things back.

I'm trying to forget
about it, and you?

I wanna face it, Peter,

that's what this film's about.

Right, that's good.

So on behalf of Sears-Roebuck,

it is my pleasure to tell
you that we have decided

to offer you the contract.

Doubtless you'll wish
to discuss it

in detail with your lawyer,

but we seem to be agreed
in principle, do we not?

Yes we do.

You'll be aware, I'm sure,

that my company operates
primarily

through our mail
order catalogue.

Here is the current edition.

Thank you.

We do, however, boast
one of the finest stores

in the States.

And this as well as in

several prestigious
commercial venues

we mount our annual
promotional tour.

Now we would appreciate it if
you and your representatives

would participate in this event,

at our expense, of course.

Oh, you would like us
to go to America?

You and whomever of your staff

you required to assist
you on the tour.

Would that be acceptable to you?

Quite acceptable,
Miss. Sargisson.

Well, we're happy with
you two Germans.

If you wouldn't mind,
please, Fay.

Can we have you two
up by the gun.

You own this studio,
don't you, Mr. Hansen?

-Peter.
-Fay. Fay Leslie.

That's with an I E, not a Y.

Let's step off the take.

Camera rolling.

Film running.

And action.

Now, as you know, we're
going to be taking

a collection of our
designs to America,

which Kitty and Liddy
are going to model.

Well the word has got
round Miss. Bea.

In addition, we will
need the services

of a seamstress during the tour.

But only the one seamstress?

But only the one.

Now the question is-

Which one.

You're both equally qualified
for the job.

So, well, we wondered what
you felt about it yourselves.

I think Madge should go.

No, Tilly should.

Well you two are no help at all.

Shall we toss for it?

Madge?

-Well, yes.
-Well you call.

Heads.

Oh, Madge, it's tails. Sorry.

-Well, well done, Tilly.
-Thanks.

Next time, Madge.

Yes, Miss. Beatrice.

-Sorry, Madge.
-Oh, you're a doll.

Thank you ever so much.

Oh, I'd love to be a fly on
the wall when you tell Norman.

Will he let you go?

Oh, let him try stopping me.

But it's ever so far
away, America, in't it?

I wouldn't go and leave Perc.

Oh, that's only cause
you're scared he'd do a bunk

whilst your back was turned.

Betty!

Well, Jerry will
be disappointed.

I reckon he could have
done with a few weeks

without my nagging.

Come on you. Good night.

-Good night.
-Night.

During out absence Mrs.
Burgoyne will be in charge

of the day-to-day running
of the house,

and you will be working
closely with her.

Your areas of responsibility
are clearly defined.

You're both familiar with them,

so I don't see any problems
there, do you?

No, Miss. Eliott.

Well, think about it,
Joseph, and if you feel-

I can tell you now,

I'd like to very much.

I'm so glad.

I can't tell you what
a relief it is to know

I should be leaving
things in such safe hands.

Thank you.

This certainly sets
you up financially.

Well we'd have an independence

and a security that
we've never had.

Gives you real status, you
know, in the commercial sense.

But as regards our name,
our reputation,

are we wise to get
involved in this market?

You're diversifying, that's all.

The exclusive range
remains unaffected, yes?

Well it's a great opportunity.

My advice, for what it's
worth, is to seize it.

We hoped you'd say that.

It's an exciting itinerary,

Chicago, Boston, New York.

Wish I was going with you,
but I have a film to finish.

How's it going?

It's good to be my own master.

-But?
-I don't know.

I'm not sure I should
be making this film.

It's very subjective.

Possibly even morbid.

Jack.

And I hate to admit it but

Peter's isn't proving
to be the ideal partner.

Anyway, I must go back
to the studio,

check that everything's
ready for tomorrow.

And it won't be.

-Good night, Evie.
-I'll see you out.

Good night, Jack.

And thank you, for everything.

I gather Alexander has
returned to Italy.

Oh,
thank goodness.

Does she even know he was
here asking after her?

Does that bother you?

A little.

Well that's why this American
trip will be wonderful.

A complete change of scene.

Oh Jack, I'm certain I'm
doing the right thing by her.

Yes, I know you are.

"Certain" you mean, or "right"?

-Good bye, Bea.
-Goodbye.

Alice, you're perfectly happy
with all these arrangements

while we're away?

Yes, indeed.

When did this arrive?

It must've been a week
ago his Lordship called,

wasn't it Miss. Eliott?

I left it in your tray,

I thought you'd be
sure to find it.

Alice, we'll continue our
conversation later, thank you.

Yes.

Evie, he arrived unannounced
while you were out.

I had no idea he'd
left you a letter.

And it didn't occur
to you at the time

to tell that he was in London.

That he'd called on me?

I talked to Jack about it.

We thought you were
getting over it.

Well I wasn't getting over it.

You and Jack had no
right to interfere.

How can I decide what
is best for me

if you keep things from me?

Yes, you're right, of course.

But the truth about Alexander
will only hurt you more.

If there's anything
I don't know,

whatever it is, Bea, tell me.

I have a right to know, please.

You think he resigned at a
point of honour because of you,

well, it's not true.

If he hadn't resigned,
he would have been sacked

because he mishandled
the Saroyan affair.

He took the post in Italy in
order to salvage his career

and on condition that he
took Elizabeth with him

to put pay to any talk
of any divorce.

I don't believe you.

Evie, it's the truth.
Elizabeth told me.

When I confronted Alexander
with it, he didn't deny it.

I'm so sorry, I really
didn't want you to know.

This is a lie.

This is a lie to justify your
interference with my life.

Why would we do that?

I don't know why.

Maybe Jack will tell you.

Cut. Excellent.

Thank you all.

Don't get so steamed up.

The set should have
been ready for me.

This is not the first
time this has happened.

Look, have some coffee
and relax, will you?

I want to word with you anyway,

about young Fay.

Young Fay?

A very talented little
actress, wouldn't you say?

You know, I'd like to see a
given a bigger role, Jack,

or perhaps her existing part
could be made more important.

Listen to me.

If her part was any
more important

I would have to replace her.

Evie, how nice.

What's the matter?

Jack, I need to speak to you.

Excuse me, Peter.

Oh, excuse me, I was
looking for Mr. Hansen.

-Hello.
-Fay-

Peter, I thought I'd
surprised you.

Darling, this is Fay Leslie,
a member of the cast.

Pleased to meet you.

How do you do.

My wife's shortly
leaving for America, Fay,

with the House of Eliott.

I'm a mannequin, you see.

Really?

Well, you'd better take
me home, darling.

Good night Miss. Leslie.

Good night, Mrs. Hansen.

It's perfectly true.

He told me himself the
reason himself he resigned.

And it wasn't because of me?

No.

Elizabeth used her influence

to get him the Rome appointment,

and he accepted her conditions.

Bea telephoned you this
afternoon, Jack, didn't she?

She told you to say this.

Of course she didn't.

No, of course she didn't.

Evie,

did you see Jack?

Yes.

I'm sorry for not believing you.

You look so cold.

Come on, come and
sit by the fire.

You were going to get
me a better part.

You said I'd be made
more important.

I tried, but Jack's
the director, Fay.

You don't carry much weight
around here, do you Peter?

Now Fay that's ju-

I'll tell you what though,

get me on that trip to
America as a mannequin

and you can be sure our
understanding remains a secret.

But I don't want you in America.

I want you here.

I'll be back.

But if you let me down I shall
have to have a little word

in your wife's ear.

Good morning Mr. Maddox.

Good morning.

Peter, have those spare
reels arrived yet?

I'm really stuck if
they're not here by midday.

All present and correct, sir.

Good.

Jack?

Mr. Maddox, do you know
which one of these

you want in it?

Uh, later, John.

We're doing well, aren't we.

Sorry, Peter, what do you say?

You're happy with
what we filmed?

-Yes, yes.
-Good.

Look, Jack, old pal,

how would you feel about
doing me a bit of a favour?

A favour? What sort of favour?

Could you, well,

could you get Fay on
that tour of The States

with the House of Eliott?

No, no I could now.

Of course you could.

Use your influence.

Do it, Jack.

For an old pal who's
calling in a debt of honour.

Fay drives a hard bargain, Jack,

she's put me in a
awkward situation.

What do you say, for
old times sake?

No. No, I don't interfere

with my wife's business
in that way.

I see.

It's all very well to
make pretty speeches

about owing a life
to good old Peter,

but when it comes down to it

there's nothing doing, is there.

Look, if she doesn't
get her own way

Fay's gonna tell Liddy
that she and I are,

well...

You are overstepping
the mark, Peter.

Jack, please.

All right. I will speak to her.

Why on earth would we do that?

We can only take two mannequins.

Kitty and Liddy are going.

If you want to ingratiate
yourself with some actress,
Jack,

please don't involve me.

It has nothing to do with me,

except that I owed
Peter this favour.

Help me out.

I've completely misjudged
the man,

our partnership is
turning into a disaster.

You see, Fay is threatening
to tell his wife

about their relationship.

He saved my life, Bea, it's
not so much to ask in return.

Well all right, if
it'll help you out.

We'll have to drop Liddy
from the tour.

Kitty has to go, she's
the most experienced.

Liddy will be disappointed.

Well, it does get Fay
out of the country,

it gives Peter some sort of
chance of coming to his senses.

I suppose that's true.

We'll just have to tell
Liddy we need her here.

What's the matter?

Miss. Beatrice says they
need me here in London.

They're taking another
girl to America.

But she's never worked
as a mannequin, Kitty,

she's an actress in
Mr. Maddox's film.

Could you take that
to Alice, please?

Yes, Miss. Eliott.

Liddy, I knew you'd be upset.

Forgive me, but I've
seen the way Fay Leslie

hangs around the film studio.

I think all this needing me
here is just a ruse, isn't it?

To do a favour for Mr. Maddox.

No Liddy, I promise
you that's not true.

Really, you mustn't think that.

I can't help thinking that.

What other explanation is that?

It's simply that,

well, as my sister explained
to you, we do need your here.

I'm sorry.

It must be very disappointing,
but,

well, there it is.

Yes Miss. Eliott.

Night, sir.

I'll be off then, Jack.

Sure you don't fancy a drink?

Quite sure, thanks.

Thanks a lot for what
you did for Fay, she's,

well, she's thrilled.

Look, just leave it,
Peter, will you?

I'll see you tomorrow then.

Good night.

Oh, they've finished
for the day, sir.

Nobody there except
for Mr. Maddox that is.

He's the man I've come to see.

We're old friends.

Reckon you best go in then,

straight through, sir.

Mind how you go, it's
a bit dark in there.

Many thanks.

Jack?

George.

George Morton.

I'm sorry, old man,
I've startled you.

Are you all right?

I thought you were dead.

No, no, far from it.

What the blazes is
going on here?

Do you know, I've been
sat there trying

to work out exactly
the same thing.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Thank you, Jack, that
was wonderful.

Good.

Anyway, I had to deliver some
particularly fine artefacts

to the British museum,

which meant spending
a night in London,

so it seemed a good
opportunity to look you up.

Well I'm very glad I did.

So Evie wrote to you?

Yes.

The letter was forwarded
to me in Crete,

together with this.

-You remember?
-Good God.

It seems that she had
recently reunited you

with Peter Hansen.

And, not content with that,

Is this Evie?

No, no, that's her
sister Beatrice, my wife.

Well forgive me, but if this
lovely lady is your wife then

why isn't she here?

Crazy, isn't it?

Hugh died, you know?

Yes, yes, I heard.

That's very sad.

So you and Peter Hansen
have formed a partnership.

How's that going?

Well to tell you the
absolute truth, George,

I'm a little bit disappointed
in him.

I'm beginning to think
he's a bit of a-

Well, you don't mean to tell me

it's taken me this long
to find that out.

The man's an absolute cad.

Hang on a minute.

Whatever one may think of
him, he did save my life.

Jack, is that
what he told you?

Why are you laughing?

He left you for dead and
he bolted like a rabbit.

What?

It's quite a dangerous
thing to do, actually,

there was a lot of stray
stuff flying about that night.

I don't understand.

When I came to, there
he was, at my bedside.

He'd been injured.

Jack, it seems a pity to
destroy your illusions.

The fact is that
when you were hit

you were out for the count.

It was Hugh and I
who carted you off

to find a stretcher crew.

And then once you
were in safe hands

we headed back to
the command post.

But Hugh,

Hugh, he got hit,

and we both ended up
being captured by Jerry.

He was in such bad shape
they repatriated him.

So,

Peter lied to me.

To you, probably to
himself as well.

He's a casualty of war,
Jack, but he's not a hero.

So, people treat
him with contempt

rather than the sympathy
he deserves.

Poor devil.

I'm here to be measured.

-Know how to turn, do you?
-Pardon?

You can stand properly, can you?

And walk correctly?

It's a lot more to
showing off a dress

than just slipping
it on, you know?

And batting your eyelashes.

I'm an actress, dear,
not just a clothes horse.

Once I get to New York,
you won't see me for dust.

I'm just surprised
at Mr. Maddox,

letting you make such
a fool of him.

We're ready for you
now, Miss. Leslie.

You got it wrong, dear,

it isn't Mr. Maddox
I made a fool of.

I'm deeply embarrassed.

The man's a cheat and a fraud,

to whom I owe absolutely
nothing.

He put me in an impossible
situation,

and I am so sorry for being
such a gullible idiot.

You weren't to know.

If Evie hadn't got
a touch with George

I never would have known.

So some good came to
the reunion, then?

Oh yes, I am delighted to have

made contact with George again.

What if Fay tells Liddy
about all of this?

We can't prevent it,

it's Peter's problem, not ours.

Well, it means Liddy
can come to America now.

If she still wants to.

Shall I go and ask her?

Yes. And if she does will
you tell Alice, and tell Fay.

I shall enjoy that.

Poor old Jack.

Where does this leave your
partnership with Peter?

I shall dissolve it.

But what about your film?

It's finished but, I
should never have made it

in the first place.

The whole thing was a mistake.

A fool's way of trying to
come to terms with the past.

Draw a line under that war.

-Are you sure?
-Quite sure.

I haven't lost too much,
I'll close the studio.

I've accepted an offer
from the German producer.

I leave England on the
Tuesday after next.

But that's the day after
we leave for New York.

Shall I see you before we go?

Of course.

Agnes, that's it, plenty
of tissue paper.

Here you are, Madge.

Tilly, come in, what is it?

The thing is, Miss.
Bea, and Miss. Evie,

I can't go to America.

I feel really bad about
letting you down.

Tilly, you were so keen.

It's not that I'm not
keen, Miss. Bea,

I'm ever so keen.

-It's just that I've fallen.
-Fallen?

Tilly, you're pregnant.

Oh, Tilly, that's
wonderful news.

Yes miss.

I mean me and Norman and
that pleased, you know,

but it's early days now
and he doesn't want me

going all that way, you
seem and taking the risk.

No, of course you mustn't.

Congratulations, Tilly.

Thank you.

So you're simply gonna
walk out on me.

Believe me, it's for
the best, Peter.

I've settled the outstanding
debts.

Let's just say that
it didn't work out

and part with no hard
feelings, yes?

It's this business
with Fay, isn't it?

Look, I'm sorry, Jack.

I just wasn't thinking clearly
won't you accept an apology?

I'm afraid it's not
as simple as that.

You're saying I'm not cut
out for film production,

is that it?

No, I'm not saying that,
but, not with me.

Perhaps I'm not ready to
run my own studio yet.

I don't know.

Anyway, I've accepted an offer.

-Oh?
-From a German film company.

I'm going to work in Berlin.

How can you do that?

The German's are our
enemies, Jack.

They killed and maimed
our friends.

Where's your sense of honour?

Good bye, Peter.

If it's a boy you'll
have to call him Charles.

Or what about Agnes?

Well?

Oh, I can tell by your
face it's all right.

America here I come.

We're gonna miss you, Madge.

Oh, thank you.

I'm that excited for you both.

We can tell that Agnes,
by your stitching.

We seem to move further
and further apart.

It was happening before
we separated.

One of us being in America
and the other in Germany

is not going to make any
difference to us, is it?

There's so many areas
of our lives

which just don't fit together.

Like me not wanting
to have children?

It's your life, I have
to accept that.

But it was going to be our life.

Oh, don't be sad.

You've achieved so much,

you're an established
and respected designer,

the House of Eliott
is a success.

Oh yes, the House of Eliott
must always come first.

You needed to be a success.

Do I?

Do I really want
to go to America?

Course you do.

I'm not sure that I do.

Did the idea of working in
Germany really appeal to you?

They take filmmaking
seriously there.

But do you want to go?

There's nothing for me here
at the moment, is there?

Come with us to America.

To do what?

Well, there's wonderful
opportunities for film.

It's not too late, it
could still be arranged.

Bea.

Well, think about it.

I'm losing you, Jack,
and I don't want to.

-Don't you?
-No.

Did you read it?

No, I realised it wouldn't
make any difference

whatever it said.

So is it over then?

No, it isn't over.

You shall never see him again.

Miss. Eliott, before you leave

Do you want me to
take it, ma'am?

I was ready for the job
yesterday, you know that.

Oh, Miss. Liddy, you
don't half look lovely.

Have a pleasant trip, ladies.

Thank you Mr. Wint.

Betty, Agnes, what are
you doing in here?

Oh please, can't we just
say good bye to the girls?

Oh, all right, just this
once, come on ladies.

-Have a lovely time.
-You take of yourself.

Bye, have a nice time.

-Bye bye,
-Bye.

-You take care, Tilly.
-Bye.

Oh no, I don't believe it,

I completely forgot to ask Madge

to send me a picture postcard
of the Statue of Liberty.

Good bye England, just
for a little while.

And hello America.

Hello New York.

All aboard. Final call.

Do you think he'll come?

I simply don't know.

Come on.

You're still half
expecting him, aren't you?

Yes, I suppose I am,
isn't it stupid.

Bea, don't look back.

Bea, don't look back.
