All language subtitles for Howards End - 01x04 - Episode 4.-MTB, -WebDL.English.orig.Addic7ed.com

I am asking you to be my wife.

I know.

My letter's about Howards End.

We ought to go and see the place sometime.

Oh! Well, I took you for Ruth Wilcox!

If we can't live at Howards End and you
don't want to live in Ducie Street,

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

- where do you propose we live?
- Oniton.

I do not intend to forget
these Schlegels in a hurry.

I find them monopolising my father.
I intend to put my foot down!

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

They're starving! I found them starving!

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Dempster's Bank reduced their
staff, and now he's penniless.

- Helen, are you mad?
- I want to see Mr Wilcox.

I will talk to Henry in my own way.

Don't take up that sentimental
attitude over the poor.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

I mean to dislike your
husband, and tell him so.

Henceforward I am going my own way.

Madam, you'll be more
comfortable at the hotel...

Why, it's Henry!

I believe in personal
responsibility, don't you?

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

- So that woman has been your mistress?
- Ten years ago.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

I have the honour to release
you from your engagement.

"My dearest boy...

".. this is not to part us.

"It is everything or nothing,
and I mean it to be nothing.

"It happened long before we met
and, even if it had happened since,

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"I should be writing the same, I hope.

"I do understand."

"Dear Mr Bast, I have spoken
to Mr Wilcox about you,

"and am sorry to say he
has no vacancy for you.

"Yours truly, MJ Schlegel."

"Helen, give him this.
The Basts are no good.

"I've had a room got up for you here,

"and will you please come
round on getting this?

"I may go round to the
Basts myself in the morning

"and do anything that is fair. M."

Henry, dear?

Henry, dear, look at me.

No, I won't have you shirking. Look at me.

There. That's all.

You're referring to last evening.

I have released you from your engagement.

I could find excuses, but I won't.

No, I won't.

It must be left at that.

Leave it where you will, my boy.

It's not going to trouble us.

I know what I'm talking about.
It will make no difference.

No difference?

No difference, when you find that
I am not the fellow you thought?

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

I am not worthy of you.

Had I been worthy, I, er...

I can't bear to talk of such things.

We had better leave it.

You and your sheltered life and your...

.. refined pursuits, friends, books.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

You and your sister, women like you,

how can you guess the temptations
that lie around a man? I know...

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

.. by bitter experience, and yet...

- .. you say it makes no difference.
- Not to me.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Am I the last one down?

Did Helen come?

She didn't send any messages or anything?

None that I've heard.

Will you ring the bell, please?

What to do?

Why, to inquire.

There is no bell. The bell-pull is broken.

There wasn't time to fix it.
I've brought a little... gong.

Have you?

Yes. It's here.

Did you bring it from London?

Yes.

Where did you find it?

Dolly picked it up at Harrods.

No doubt you find our pretensions amusing.

I don't. You mustn't think of me that way.

You're certainly at
liberty to dictate terms.

You mustn't talk to me like that, either.

I am scarcely in a position to argue.

But you are.

Sir?

Please, Mr Burton, have you discovered,

did my sister stop here last night?

No, Miss.

Miss Schlegel slept at The George in
the village, so as far as I've heard.

May I send someone to inquire?
Or I could go round myself.

I'll go. Thank you, Burton.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

It's a very simple story.

Ten years ago in a
garrison town in Cyprus...

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

.. I was far from good influences
-- far even from England.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

I was very, very lonely, and
longed to hear a woman's voice.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

That's enough. I have said too much
already for you to forgive me now.

But I've already forgiven you, Henry.

Tibby?

Yes? What is it?

It's I, Tibby.

Helen? Come in! Qing jinlai!

I got your telegram. I hadn't...

Shall I serve lunch now?

- Oh, rather.
- Very good, sir.

Are you all right? I didn't
know where you got to.

Yes, very well. What did you say
to me when I came in?

I? Oh, um,

It's Chinese for, "Come in, please."

There are five ways to
say "come in", actually.

If you leave off the "qing", it's simply
"come in" without the "please". Or nearly.

Then there's, "Qing jinlai ba!"

Tibby!

You look rather a fright. Anything wrong?

- I've come from Oniton.
- Oniton? But I thought...

I've come from Oniton. There has
been a great deal of trouble there.

Who's for lunch?

I don't know what's to be done, Tibby.

I'm very much upset at a piece
of news that concerns Meg,

and do not want to face her.

I stopped here to tell you this.

I mean to go to Munich or Bonn.

As regards my share of the furniture,

you and she are to do exactly as you like.

- But...
- My head is rather wretched.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Has anything gone wrong at Evie's wedding?

Not there.

That's Annie with the cutlets.
They rather spoil by waiting.

Do you mind her coming in?
Or I can get them from her at the door.

- Could I bathe my eyes, Tibby?

Annie, can you come back in a moment?

Very good, sir. Are you
quite well, Miss Helen?

Yes, quite well, Annie, thank you.

Leonard knew about it all along.

Meg cannot have heard it
yet, I think. Let them marry.

There remains the
question of compensation.

I don't see who is to pay it if I don't.

This part is in confidence.
Meg must not hear about it.

As soon as possible, I am placing
£5,000 to your account and,

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

when I am in Germany, you will pay
it over to Leonard and Mrs Bast.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Good God alive!

What's the good of driblets?

To go through life, having done one thing,

to have raised one person from the abyss.

No doubt people will
think me extraordinary.

I don't give a damn what people think,

but it is half of what you have.

Not nearly half. I have far too much.

What I give will bring in
115 between two to live on.

It isn't enough. I didn't
expect you to understand me.

I? I understand no-one.

But you'll do it?

Apparently.

Oh, thank you, Tibbykins. You
have been very good to me.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"Mr Theobald Schlegel, 2 Wickham Place.

"While mindful of the generosity
which prompted her kind offer,

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"I enclose Miss Schlegel's
cheque for £5,000

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"being in no need of money,
and beg you return it to her."

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"Dear Helen,
"Mr Bast has returned me

your cheque,
"for which he claims he has no need."

"Dear Tibby, in that case, you
must go to South London yourself,

"and you must find the Basts
and make them take the cheque."

"Dear Helen, after taking a
great deal of trouble to hunt up

"your client's domicile in Lambeth,

"I have tried time and again
to find Mr Bast and his wife,

"but they seem to have disappeared
off the face of the Earth.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"I must admit, in the
fullness of my heart,

"that, considering the
temptation offered him,

"your Leonard Bast seems to me
a monumental person after all."

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"Dear Tibby, you must find them.

"It is insupportable that
they should be homeless

"and that I should be the cause."

"Dear Helen, it's no use.

"I'm afraid you'll have to
abandon your philanthropic venture

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"and reinvest your money
in some sensible concern.

"On the advice of our new
future brother-in-law,

"I myself have lately bought shares
in the Nottingham and Derby Railway

"and consequently become
rather richer than I was before.

"I suggest you do the same. Tibby."

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"Dearest Helen, Henry and
I were married Tuesday.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"Tibby and Aunt Juley were
there, also Charles and Mr Cahill,

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"to represent the Wilcoxes.

"After Oniton, I didn't mind
the smallness of the ceremony,

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"but I did wish my dear
Helen had been there as well.

"Henry and I wonder about coming
to visit you in Innsbruck.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"I'm really longing to meet you
if you're stopping there still.

"Dear Meg, I plan on
leaving for Lake Garda,

"where I mean to stop for a few weeks.

"But I'm afraid my plans are
uncertain and had better be ignored."

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"Although I shall most likely
be spending the summer in Italy,

"possibly Naples. H."

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

What an unsatisfactory postcard.

Do you know? I believe she fled Innsbruck

because we suggested coming there.

I suppose she dislikes meeting you.

I am sorry for that. Certainly,
I bear her no ill will.

Why should you not? She's lost
all self-control.

It's maddening!
And not like her, Henry.

I suppose, if there is a war,
Helen will have to come back.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Mind the Schlegels don't repatriate
back to Prussia when it comes.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

- I shall not allow you to go with them.
- No fear of that, my boy.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

The Schlegels are English to the
backbone, as my Aunt Juley says.

Of course, she only says that when she
suspects us of being unduly German!

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

We should ask your aunt
here to Ducie Street soon.

Henry, can't we invite her to Oniton
instead? She's longing to see it.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Whatever for? I've only
just let the place.

- Let Oniton? Henry!
- Yes?

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

But... I thought... You said
WE were going to live there.

Did I? Oh, no, it's no good, you know.

- Why wasn't I consulted?
- Well, I didn't want to bother you.

Besides, I've only just heard
for certain this morning.

But where are we to live? Why isn't it
good? I loved the place extraordinarily.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Well, it's the wrong part of Shropshire, for
one thing. I didn't realise, when I bought it.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

And, for another, the house is damp.

Well, this is news.

I never heard until this minute
that Oniton Grange was damp!

- My dear girl, have you not eyes?
Have you not a skin? - I thought I had.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

How could it be anything other than damp in
such a situation? The Grange is built on clay!

- And there's that detestable
little lake steaming all night...
- Detestable? - .. like a kettle.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Well, detestable's perhaps too strong
a word, but you know what I mean.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

These Shropshire valleys are notorious.

- Why did you go there, then?
- Because I...

Well, why...?

Why do you want to go to
Innsbruck, if it comes to that?

- To visit Helen, Henry.
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

But one might go on asking
questions indefinitely.

The truth is that I took
Oniton on account of Evie.

She was so keen on a country wedding,

wouldn't wait for me to make
proper inquiries about the shooting.

She was afraid it would be snapped up.

Well, there is no
shooting at Oniton Grange.

There isn't a grouse or a partridge
within five miles of the place.

Well, there's no harm done.
She had her country wedding,

and I've got rid of my house to some fellows
who are starting a preparatory school.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Won't the boys be damp?

Well, that's their lookout.

I've told the fellows the condition of the
place. They've been through it themselves.

Where are we to live? I
should enjoy living somewhere.

I have not yet decided.

Well, it's not yet May.

So, suppose we camp out here
in Ducie Street for the moment,

then look for somewhere in the summer.

Somewhere permanent, Henry. We
leave Wickham in a few weeks.

No fear! There are rooms
enough here for your brother

and your sister, Helen, too.

- That's not what I mean.
- Then what?

May I?

- Yes, yes, yes.
- Certainly.

"Dearest Helen,

"today the last box was packed,
the last of the furniture wrapped

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"and the last van has rumbled
away from Wickham Place.

"I don't know if I should mind so much

"if another family were to
move in once we had gone.

"But the house is to be
torn down with the others

"to make room for a new block of flats.

"I am glad, though,

"that you never saw the house
with the life gone from it.

"But it seems so odd to say
goodbye to our home without you.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"Henry would say it is
only sentimentality,

"as Tibby is no further
away than Ducie Street

"and you no farther away than ever --

"which, oh, Helen, is too far!"

"Henry has most kindly offered
Howards End as a warehouse.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"Until he re-lets it, we are
welcome to stack our furniture

"and books in the garage and lower rooms.

"They have been entrusted to
the guardianship of Miss Avery,

"whom, you will remember, lives
at the farm down the road.

"Meanwhile, after much discussion,

"we have decided to go
down to Sussex and build.

"The plans will not be
ready until the autumn.

"We are to have a good many gables...

"Dear Helen, do tell me
when you are coming home.

"Or command me to ask no more.

"Tibby says you are inside the
Triple Alliance and feeling encircled.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"I told him you had
moved south to Italy..."

"Dear Helen, Dolly and Charles,
who have had their latest baby,

"have had to give up their motor car!

"Why Charles has not more of the
Wilcox fortune, I cannot fathom.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"I urge Henry to give them all he can,

"but he says a man must make
his own way in the world.

"I do miss you terribly,

"and wish you would write
me a proper letter..."

Dolly! How are you?

I'm well, how are you?

Good! How are the boys and the baby?

The boys and the baby are well.

Oh, are those the plans?

Does it matter, me seeing them?

No, of course not.

How's Helen?

Is she never coming back to England?

Everyone thinks it's so
awfully odd that she doesn't.

So it is. Helen is odd, awfully.

But hasn't she any address?

A poste restante somewhere
in Bavaria is her address.

Do drop her a line.
I'll look it up for you.

Oh, no, don't bother.

Oh, have you heard the news?

Miss Avery's been unpacking
your packing cases.

Why has she done that?
That wasn't necessary.

Ask another. I supposed
you'd ordered her to.

I gave her no such orders.
Perhaps she was airing the things.

It was far more than air. The
floor sounds covered with books.

Charles sent me to know
what is to be done,

for he feels certain that you don't know.

Books! Dolly are you serious?
She's been touching our books?

Hasn't she, though!

What used to be the hall's full of them.

Dolly, I'm much obliged.

I must go down about them at once.

Some of them belong to my brother,
and they're quite valuable.

She has no right to unpack our cases.

I say she's dotty.

Miss Avery?

It's Mrs Wilcox!

Are you there, please?

Miss Avery!

Well, come right in, Mrs Wilcox!

Thank you so much.

I didn't know...

Come right into the hall first.

But...

.. this is my father's sword.

I didn't know if it was best hung
with the scabbard or without.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Miss Avery, I'm afraid
this isn't what we meant.

Mr Wilcox and I never intended
the cases to be touched.

When you kindly undertook
to look after these things,

we never expected you to do so much.

The house has been empty long enough.

I dare say we didn't explain it.

It's a mistake, very likely our mistake.

Mrs Wilcox,

it has been mistake upon
mistake for 50 years.

I don't know.

I really don't know what's to be done.

I dare say...

Thank you very much, Miss Avery.

Yes...

.. that's all right.

It's delightful.

It's delightful.

There's still the parlour,
and the dining room.

It's all a mistake.
It's a misunderstanding.

Mr Wilcox and I are not
going to live at Howards End.

Oh, indeed?

We've settled on building a new
home for ourselves in Sussex.

Part of the furniture -- my part --
will be going down there presently.

You think you are not coming
back to live here, Mrs Wilcox,

but you will.

That remains to be seen.

We have no intentions
of doing so presently.

We happen to need a larger house.

Circumstances...

Of course, some day...

One never knows, does one?

Some day!

Don't talk about some day.

You are living here now.

Am I?

"To Miss Helen Schlegel,
poste restante, Munich.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

"Aunt Juley ill, stop.

"Come at once to Swanage, stop.

"Love, stop. M."

Aunt Juley? Darling?

Oh, dear children.

You see, doctor?

These are my sister's children.

I said all the time they would come,

and now they're here.

But we've been here for days, Aunt Juley.

You say the same thing every morning.

Do I?
Tibby, hush.

It doesn't matter,
darling. You've been ill.

But what's the matter with me?

- It's only a chill.
- You've got pneumonia. - Tibby!

But she has got pneumonia.
You've got pneumonia, Aunt Juley.

- Pneumonia? - You caught a chill,
and it developed into pneumonia.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

But the doctor says you
may be getting stronger.

Where's Helen?

We telegraphed her to come.

We had a telegram from Munich.

She'll be in London on the
morrow, down by the first train.

- She... - There are three
of them, you see, doctor.

Such eccentric children.

But lovable, oh, very lovable.

Not to everyone, you know.

But I am very partial to them.

Especially the girls.

I think perhaps your aunt should rest.

The truth is, she seems
to be getting stronger.

With a bit of luck, she
may yet pull through.

Oh, I do hope so.

Margaret.

Could you not take some
steamer expeditions,

when Helen comes?

The weather is so beautiful.

And Tibby can do his Chinese.

Helen won't be able to stop, Aunt Juley.

She telegraphed that she can
only get away just to see you.

She must go back to Germany
as soon as you're well.

Really?

Helen is odd.

Helen is odd, very.

Read this letter she's written me.

She doesn't mean to come down at all!

Her London address will
be care of the bankers

and we are to write or wire her there.

"Is our furniture still at Howards End?

"I should like to take out
one or two books. "The rest are for you.

"Your loving Helen."

What does it mean?

Perhaps she's mad.

Oh, Tibby.

If you write to her that Aunt
Juley is still in danger, she is sure to come down.

You wouldn't even lie to
Aunt Juley about pneumonia.

I didn't consider that
Aunt Juley was unbalanced.

And you consider Helen is?

You said so yourself.

I said she was out of balance.

What?

I don't know what to
think, Tibby. I don't.

It's been ever so long.
I'm dreadfully worried.

We'll tell her to meet us
at the bankers in London

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

if she wants us to tell her where
to find her bloody furniture.

Let's try that.

I was so sure she'd turn up.

What now, Tibby, love?

It's extraordinary.

Why don't you ask Mr Wilcox?

Henry? Why?

Well, you know best.

But he is practical.

Margaret's point is this --

our sister may be mad.

Surely not.

Charles, come in. Charles,
can you help us at all?

We are again in trouble.

I'm afraid I cannot.

What are the facts?

Surely you don't mean she really is mad?

The facts are that Helen has
been in England for three days

and she will not see us.

She has forbidden the bankers
to give us her address.

There are other facts, but
these are the most striking.

Has she never behaved like this before?

Of course not!

She's grieving us, deeply.

That's why I'm sure that she is not well.

Mad is too terrible a
word, but she is not well.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Well, it's perfectly easy. Leave it to me.

You want to get a hold of
her. She wants her books.

So we send her down to Howards End,

tell her that she must
unpack them herself,

- and you can meet her there.
- That's just what she won't let me do.

Of course, you won't
tell her you're going.

- It's quite impossible.
- Why?

It doesn't seem impossible to me.

Nor me.

It's impossible because...

.. because it's not the particular
language that Helen and I talk,

- if you see what I mean.
- I see. No, I see.

- You have scruples.
- Yes!

Sooner than go against them,

you would have your sister suffer
alone, because she wishes it.

She may be ill, she may
be mad, as you fear,

but your... your scruples
forbid a deception.

I deny it's madness.

My dear. Do you want my help or not?

- Yes, but not in this way. - Pater, we
may as well keep Howards End out of it.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

The whole house is at sixes and sevens.

Who's "We"?
My boy, pray, who's "we"?

I'm sure I beg your pardon.

I appear always to be intruding.

Now, then.
If you want my help, you have it.

Meg?

Yes, all right.
- Good.

I will dictate.

"Dear Helen, the furniture
is all at Howards End,

"but can be seen on Monday next at 3pm,

"when a charwoman will be in attendance.

"Margaret."

Or what you will.

And after luncheon, Henry and I
will ambush Helen in the garden,

and then pack her away to
the madhouse, I suppose,

if she doesn't appear to be
overjoyed when she sees us.

Oh, Tibby.

Mi...

Is anything wrong with you,
Charles, this afternoon?

No, Pater.

But you may be taking on a
bigger business than you reckon.

How so?

Don't ask me.

Well, she is at the house.

I went round to the livery stable,

and they say a lady arrived after
lunch and took a cab to Howards End.

I cannot make it out.

Finish your coffee, dear. We must be off.

Yes, Margaret, you know
you must take plenty.

I... Yes.

Margaret, you're not
fit for it, let me go.

Let me go alone. I know
exactly what to do.

Oh, yes, I am fit. Only
most frightfully worried.

There. We'll be off.

There's a gentleman downstairs
asking for Mrs Wilcox.

She's not here.

- But he's in quite a state.
- Tell him she's at Howards End.

Mr and Mrs Wilcox have taken
the car to Howards End.

When will they be back?
Mr Schlegel doesn't know.

Her cab should have already
arrived at Howards End,

and our first move will be to
send it down to wait at the farm.

Now, Crane won't drive in,

but he'll wait a little short of
the front gate, behind the laurels.

- Do you have the keys to the house?
- Oh, Henry, really.

And if we don't find her at the porch,

then we can stroll round into the garden.

Our object... Oh.

Why have we stopped?
To pick up the local doctor.

Is that the doctor?

- He's a very good man.
- He is scarcely older than Tibby.

She needs to see a doctor.

We can take her to see an older
one, if we get the chance, later.

Margaret, you've asked me
to help, so I'm helping.

Good afternoon, Mansbridge.
Good afternoon, Mr Wilcox.

May I present Mrs Wilcox? Margaret,
this is Mr Mansbridge, the doctor.

How do you do?

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

On we go, Crane.

I was saying to my wife, Mr Mansbridge,

that our main object should not
be to frighten Miss Schlegel.

The trouble is evidently nervous
-- wouldn't you say so, Margaret?

I must ask if the girl
has had any sort of shock?

No, no, nothing like that.

Is there anything
hereditary or congenital?

She was always highly strung,
a tendency to... spiritualism,

that sort of thing, nothing serious.

Musical, literary, artistic,
that sort of thing.

But I should say normal
-- a charming girl.

- Please wait here for me.
- Margaret, I... - I am going first.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Margaret. Margaret!

Margaret!

No...

Meg!

Oh, my darling!

Is the truant all right?

Yes, yes, all right!

Oh, my darling, forgive me!

Margaret, you look
upset. Let me come inside.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

- Go away, Henry.
- Margaret, give me the keys.

What have you been doing with Helen?

Oh dearest, do go away, I will manage it.

Manage what?

- Stop that at least!
- Stop? Stop what?

Stop what? Come, this is an odd beginning.

I cannot help it. Please, all four
of you must go now.

- Mr Wilcox...
- Stop!

We are relying on you
to help us, Mrs Wilcox.

- Can you persuade your sister to come out?
- On what grounds?

On what grounds?

Come, come, Margaret.

This is an appalling business!

Doctor's orders. Open the door.

- Forgive me, but I will not.
- You need us, Mrs Wilcox, and we need you.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

- Quite so.
- I do not need you in the least.

Nor does my sister, who is still
many weeks from her confinement.

Margaret, Margaret!

From whom do you pretend to
hide this dreadful secret?

Mrs Wilcox...

You are not qualified to
attend my sister, Mr Mansbridge.

Henry, send your doctor away.

- What possible use is he now?
- I must ask you to be calm.

For one sensible remark,
I will let you in.

But you cannot make it.

You will trouble my sister for no reason.

I will not permit it.

I will stand here all the day sooner.

Perhaps not now, Mr Mansbridge.

Now, Henry, you.

Go away now, dear.

I shall want your advice later, no doubt.

Helen and I will stop here.

Forgive me if I have been
cross, but you must go.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Come now, Mr Wilcox.

But why go at all?

Helen, I must speak to
Henry. He is my husband.

This is his house, not ours.

Charles may say no.

Well, then, we won't consult
him. Expect me back before dark.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Dolly has not been told.

- Has she not?
- No.

Margaret, you're come! Will
I bring tea, Mr Wilcox?

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

No, thank you, Dolly.

Will you wheel the baby inside, please?

But the diddums can't listen,
he isn't six months old!

That's not what I was saying.
We desire to be alone.

It is I who is to be sent away!

Well, we'll go inside together,
diddums! Yes, we will.

Can I bring you nothing,
Margaret? Mr Wilcox?

Nothing at present. Thank
you, Dolly. You are very kind.

Will you sit, my dear?
You must be very tired.

Thank you, I am well enough.

Is it what we feared?
- Yes.

My dear girl, there is
troublesome business ahead,

and nothing but the most absolute
honesty and plain speech will do.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Now, I am... As you know, I am
not one of your Bernard Shaws,

who consider nothing sacred.

We are husband and wife,
you and I, not children.

I am a man of the world, and you
are a most exceptional woman.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Was your sister wearing a wedding ring?

No.

I see.

I am now obliged to ask
the name of her seducer.

Seducer? I don't know her seducer's name.

She would not tell you?

I never even asked her who seduced her.

- That is singular.
- Why?

- It is in Helen's interests that
we are acting. - Who is "we"?

I thought it best to ring Charles.

- He has at once gone to call on your brother.
- Oh. That was unnecessary.

It is still not too late to save her name.

Are we to make her seducer marry her?

If possible, yes.

Henry, suppose it turns out
that he is married already?

- One has heard of such cases.
- If that is the case,

then he should be thrashed
within an inch of his life.

And as for Helen staying
the night at Howards End,

I think that is... I think
that is highly inadvisable.

I will take her to London tomorrow.
She cannot stay in England.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

She will go to Munich
until the child is born.

I only ask that she and I be
permitted to spend one night

amongst our own things before she goes.

Will you give us leave?
- I cannot.

Why? Would her condition
depreciate the property?

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

My dear, you are forgetting yourself.

Helen commands my sympathy.

As your husband, I... I will
do all for her that I can,

but I cannot treat her as
if nothing has happened.

It is my request, and the
request of an unhappy girl.

Tomorrow she will go to Germany,
and trouble you no longer.

Tonight she asks -- we ask --

to spend one night in your empty house --

a house you do not care about,

a house that you have
not occupied for a year.

May she?

Will you give my sister leave?

Will you forgive her?

As you hope to be forgiven?

As you actually have been forgiven?

As I actually have been forgiven?

Yes.

I have my children, and the memory
of my dear Ruth to consider.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

I am afraid that your sister
had better sleep at the hotel.

I am sorry, but see that
she leaves my house at once.

You mentioned Mrs Wilcox.

- I beg your pardon?
- A rare occurrence.

In reply, may I mention Mrs Bast?

You have not been yourself all day.

No more of this, Henry! You will see the
connection if it kills you!

You have had a mistress -- I forgave you.

Helen has a lover -- you
drive her from the house.

I've had enough of your unweeded kindness.

You have been spoiled long enough.

All your life you have been spoiled.

Mrs Wilcox spoiled you.

No-one has ever told you what you are.

You are muddled.

Criminally muddled.

Don't repent!

Just say to yourself, "What
Helen has done, I have done."

- The two cases are different.
- In what way different?

You have betrayed Mrs
Wilcox, Helen only herself.

You remain in society, she can't.

You have had only pleasure.
She may die.

You were lonely! You were lonely!

You have the insolence to talk
to me about differences, Henry?

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

I do not give you and your sister
leave to sleep at Howards End.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

If a man played about with my sister,

I'd send a bullet through him,
but perhaps you don't mind.

- I mind very much.
- You are hiding something.

When you saw her last, did
she mention anyone's name?

Yes or no?

At Wickham Place she mentioned
some friends called the Basts.

Great Scott.

One of the guests at the wedding
told me about some rag-tag.

- Was she full of them when
you saw her? - Excuse me?

I ask you, was there a man?

Did Helen speak of the man?
Have you had any dealings with him?

See here, Wilcox.

She is my sister, and whatever
she's done, I am not to be bullied,

not even in your father's house.

I see. You are in his confidence.

They met at your house in Wickham
Place, or she spoke of them.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

I know nothing of the matter,
and have nothing more to say.

Oh, what a family! What a family!

God help the poor Pater.

Are you sure we won't
be evicted before dawn?

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Quite sure.

I do hope so.

I'm so tired, Meg.

But I am steady now.

I shall never rave
against Wilcoxes any more.

I understand how you married
him. You will now be very happy.

My Helen.

Poor Leonard! He was not to blame.

Right up to the end, we were
Mr Bast and Miss Schlegel.

I was very lonely.

I want never to see him again,
though it sounds appalling.

He would have gone on... worshipping me.

Oh, Meg!

The little that is known
about these things!

Except Mrs Wilcox, dearest, no-one
understands our little movements.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Can I do anything for you, sir?

I can't sleep, my boy.

I think we had better
have a talk. Get it over.

I cannot let this kind of thing continue.

I shall do all I can for Helen,

but on the understanding that
they clear out of the house.

Do you see?

Then at eight tomorrow,
I may go up in the car?

Eight, or earlier.

And of course, use no violence, Charles.

Hello, Len!

What ho, Len?

What ho, Jacky.

I am going out for a bit.

Going out? What time is it?

It's early yet. Go back to sleep.

See you again later.

[I really must insist you leave at once.]

[It wouldn't do for others to see.]

Our family is quite the most
respected in the village,

- so if anyone, God forbid,
should see you... - Mr Bast!

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Oh, is he here?

I am not surprised.

Now I shall thrash him
within an inch of his life.

Mrs Wilcox, I have done wrong.

No!

Charles!

Where's a stick? Damn you!

Charles! Charles, no, no!

No!

Stop! Please, stop!

No!

Leonard...

(Leonard.)

- Thank you for coming.
- Did you get my message?

Message? No.

I am going to Germany with my sister.

I must tell you now, I shall
make it my permanent home.

I... am unable to forgive
you, and I'm leaving you.

Here are your keys.

I... I have something
I'd like to tell you.

I don't want to hear it.

My sister is going to be ill.

My life is going to be with her now.

Where are you going?

Munich.

We start after the inquest.

After the inquest?

Yes.

Have you realised what the
verdict at the inquest will be?

Yes. Mr Bast had heart disease.

He had not long to live.

The... What happened only
brought on the inevitable.

That's what the doctor said.

The verdict at the inquest
will be manslaughter.

Manslaughter.

There can be no other.

I have spoken to the police.

I have spoken to the magistrate.
I have used all my influence.

But Charles will go to prison.

I dare not tell him.

I don't know what to do.

I'm... I'm broken. I'm ended.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

But...

I wish Henry was out here to enjoy this.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

This lovely weather.

To be shut up in the house,

it's very hard.

Meg, is he ill? I can't make it out.

Not ill.

Eternally tired.

He has worked hard all his
life, and noticed nothing.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Those people collapse when
they do notice a thing.

Meg, may I tell you something?

I like Henry.

You'd be odd if you didn't.

I usen't to.

Usen't!

I do hope it will be permanent, Meg.

Two years ago, I should
never have guessed.

You did it all, sweetest.

- I? - Yes, though you're
far too stupid to see.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

You picked up the pieces,
and made us a home.

Can't it strike you, even for a moment,

that your life has been heroic?

No, darling. It's not like that at all.

But it is!

Oh, take care.
The conclave's breaking at last.

- I'll go.

My father has asked for you.

We have been talking business,

but I dare say you knew
about it beforehand.

Yes, I did.

Is this going to suit everyone?

Because I don't want you
all coming here later on,

complaining that I have been unfair.

It's apparently got to suit us.

I beg your pardon, my boy.

You have only to speak, and I shall
leave the house to you instead.

And what would I do with the
house when I am in Africa?

Well, you may not be in Africa
for much longer, my boy,

the way things are looking now.

Nevertheless, I shall not want to be here.

Does this arrangement suit you, Evie?

Of course, Father.

And you, Dolly?

Perfectly splendidly.

I thought Charles wanted it for the boys,

because he cannot possibly live
in this part of England again.

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Charles says we ought to change our name,

but I cannot think what to,

for Wilcox just suits Charles and me,

and I can't think of any other name.

Then I leave Howards End
to my wife absolutely.

And let everyone understand that.

And after I am dead, let there
be no jealousy, and no surprise.

let there be no jealousy, and no surprise.

In consequence, I leave my wife no money.

That is her own wish.

All that she would have had
will be divided among you.

She intends after she dies
to leave the house.

to her..

.. her nephew, down in the field.

Does everyone understand?

Down in the field? Oh, come!

Paul, you promised to take care.

Goodbye, old girl. Don't
you worry about me.

Goodbye, Dad.
Goodbye, Mr Wilcox.

It does seem curious that Mrs
Wilcox should have left Margaret

Howards End all that time ago,
and yet she gets it, after all.

and yet she gets it, after all.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Dolly.

So long, Father.

Bye, my boy.

Always take care of yourself.

Goodbye, Mrs Wilcox.

Goodbye.

Could you tell me, Henry...

.. what was that about Mrs
Wilcox leaving me Howards End?

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

Yes, she did.

But that is a very old story.

When she was ill, and
you were so kind to her,

- Legenda n�o traduzida -

she wanted to make you some
return, and, not being herself,

she scribbled on a piece
of paper, "Howards End."

I went into it thoroughly, and
as it was clearly fanciful,

I set it to one side,

little knowing what my Margaret
would be to me in the future.

I didn't do wrong, did I?

You didn't, darling.

Nothing has been done wrong.

What is that?

Oh, here they are at last!

Oh, dear. I'm sorry, darling.

I'm sorry!

Helen, what is it?

The grass is coming up like mad!

We've seen to the very end,

and it'll be such a crop of hay as never!
