Can I help?

Oh...

I've come for the scullery maid position.

Granny?

Granny?

What is it my bonny lad?

Is that from her?

What does she want?

A job.

I don't need two heads.

I can perfectly read it myself, thank you

Stella Deutch. Sounds like a movie star.

She looks like a movie star.

What job does she want?

Yours.

But it just. I just got this position.

Don't worry, Rosie.

She's come too late.

positions been filled.

Thank God.

I'm sorry. You've come too late.

Position has been filled.

Long journey.

Poor thing.

And with a winter coat in summer, No wonder she fainted.

Must be starving.

Have you eaten?

Mrs. MacKinnon, please fetch some sandwiches with our tea.

We'll have them in here today.

No, it would be nice.

Thank you, Isobelle.

Now, what was I saying?

She's had quite a spill. Oh, yes.

Well, this is a pickle.

Lady Maxwell mustn't have received my reply.

You see, I was determined to hire you but...

you come highly recommended.

But Mrs. MacKinnon had already promised the position to her niece, Rose.

I don't give a jot who does my washing up, but there you go.

Nothing to be done.

We'll have to send you back to London.

But not before you've had a good lunch.

Thank you. That's all.

Cucumber is my favorite too.

I do wish they'd leave the crusts on.

My husband thinks I'm such a heathen for even suggesting such a thing that

such a waste.

Now, what can we do for you, my dear?

If it's not too much bother...

Of course.

You've written to your family already.

Good girl.

It's the least we can do.

My post hasn't gone out yet.

Thank you.

You're a pretty thing.

Scullery maid is not really where I see you.

Not with this education.

My parents were proud I was attending Oxford.

But...

The fees...so

Lady Maxwell.

Yes. Yes, I know.

That doesn't really answer the question, does it?

Can you keep accounts?

No.

Type?

Other than singing?

I'm afraid I'm not very skilled.

Oh, nonsense.

Come on.

My family came from trade, you know.

Someone had to keep the roof from falling in.

I don't know how much longer we can

with this bloody depression.

Oh, speak of the devil.

My husband hates it when I talk about my past

What do I hate?

Oh. How long is a piece of string?

I can't find my silver letter opener.

I thought you said you left it here.

Yes, I did dear.

But it's not here.

They say I'm going gaga, You know.

Who's this?

Well, dear, if you'd come closer then I could introduce you.

Stella, this is my husband, Lord Rig.

Oh, please sit right back down.

Don't be silly.

We don't want you ending up on the floor again.

How do you do?

Hello

What's the matter?

I... I had a letter from Mosley,

which I can't open, because someone... He's been in this state for months

Please ignore his rudeness, dear.

I was hoping that you could take Stella to the train station

on your way into town.

we'd have to leave now.

Now? right now?

Bottoms up.

Thank you, your ladyship. You've been very kind.

Oh, no, I haven't. Don't be silly.

I am so sorry for all the confusion.

And you've come all this way.

Before you take the post.

Write to William.

Code blue.

Oh, gosh. I can't remember what code blue...

Good God we just spoke about this

My cousin's house in Switzerland.

We'll be at war by Christmas, mark my words.

Dear, Really?

Ask Stella.

She looks like the sensible kind of person war by Christmas?

I'm..

Good answer

Code blue, Daylea

I'm not having any son of mine fight the Germans

Wait!

Lady Maxwell wrote and said that your family is foreign.

Stella Deutch. That's German?

Of course that's German.

Where from?

My family live just outside Hamburg.

Let Stella take the next train dear. Come.

Well, I was sent to London for my education, then Oxford.

Oh.

And what did you study.

At university? Music.

Interesting.

You see that dear?

What dear?

The slop of the nose, the high cheek bones

I don't know why I didn't see it before.

Yes, German, no doubt. Fine Aryan specimine

I should really catch that train.

Please.

This is Providence.

You can be the new German tutor for the children.

What a wonderful idea.

We'll pay handsomely.

William...

Mosley will be impressed.

All I have to do is teach your children to speak German?

Say, a month at first.

See how you get on.

What do you say, Miss. Deutch?

Jobs are hard to come by right now.

We do appreciate you're a long way from home.

Where are the lights?

They've been turned off in this wing.

Well, come on.

Bed here, chair in the corner

The bathroom's at the end of the hall to your right.

Thank you.

No need.

Your being here has nothing to do with me.

I hope you're not afraid of the dark

or rats.

Rats?

If you need anything, Sarah is at the end of the hall.

Thank God.

Three, four.

One, seven, nine.

No update on Sir Oswald.

I'm ringing because another German has appeared.

Her name is Stella Deutch.

Mama!

Modeh ani lifanekha melekh chai v'kayam shehecḥezarta bi nishmahti b'cḥemlah, rabah emunatekha

Rose, it's been 15 minutes.

No, it hasn't.

Come on! I have to pee

Go outside.

You'll use up all the hot water.

There isn't any

Good morning.

Is that her?

Yes, it's her.

There's no hot water left again.

Oh

If you want a bath, your best bet is to wake up in the middle of the night.

I really need one after my long journey yesterday.

Well you'll have to wait. After me, it's Jocks turn.

His taps aren't working.

I see.

If you need to this morning.

the seas your best bet.

Right. May I have a towel?

Go away, Sarah

Towel for Stella.

Thank you.

If you follow the path to the right of the house through the gardens,

you'll find some good places to take a dip

Wie im Himmel.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Even in the bleakest season,

wet and brown

and seaweed hung.

No.

Oh, no.

Come on, Will

Even in the bleakest season. Wet

Wet and brown and seaweed strung.

Even in the bleakest season, wet and brown

and seaweed strung...

Februarys fingertips

like Midas

Golden...

Touching down.

(distant) Narisher bocher, vos darfstu fregn? A shteyn ken vaksn, vaksn on regn.

(distant) Libeh ken brenen un nit oyfhern. A harts kon benkn, veynen on treren.

Like heaven

(distant) Tumbala, Tumbala, Tumbalalaika

Stella needs a bath.

Germans are so dirty.

Wait!

wait!

Wait! Hey.

You have my things.

Not helping.

Good morning.

I hope I'm not late.

No, not at all.

Come sit by me.

No, come sit by me.

It's safer.

Where's Georgie?

Oh, Lord.

For these your gifts, which we are about to receive.

We thank you, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

You may begin.

So, Stella, where are you from?

I went to school in London.

In Oxford?

Sounds posh

What did you study?

Music.

I told you. Movie star.

But you're not from London, are you?

No.

Jock asked where you were from, Stella

Let me guess.

Nottinghameshire?

That's random, why Nottinghamshire?

She seems like she's from somewhere south.

I'm from the north, actually, of Germany.

Gosh.

You shouldn't be down here, Miss.

Daddy told me to bring Stella upstairs.

Are you my governess now?

Would you like me to be?

Well, I'll do my very best to be a good one.

You will? You're nice

Well done, Emmy.

How did you sleep Miss Deutch?

Very well. Thank you.

I had some of the best sleeps of my life on that camp bed.

That's not saying much.

He can fall asleep anywhere.

Now you’ve met Emmy, this is your other pupil,

Charles, our second eldest.

Say hello, Charles.

Hello.

Say hello properly.

Hello.

Who is she?

Stella Deutch

Why is she here?

The new German tutor.

Oh, yes!

We're very pleased you're here, dear.

Thank you.

Charles, Are you interested in German?

Not really.

Of course he is.

No, I am not.

Very soon this country will be at war.

No, no, no.

The economy is crumbling.

The moral fabric of Britain is disintegrating.

And we need strong direction if we are to avoid

the Bolshevik takeover.

Heir Hitler can't come fast enough I say.

Now, Miss Deutch is here to teach you children and prepare you for that future.

Do you know anything about architecture?

Architecture?

I'm not paying Miss. Deutch to teach you about frivolous things like architecture.

She's here to teach you German

Now, Miss Deutch, What are their lessons today?

Well, I thought we would start with some initial dictation and vocabulary.

Good.

Outside.

Hurray!

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Outside learning is all the rage in Germanym sir.

Really?

inspired by the work of Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner.

He believes the mind and body ought to be exercised simultaneously.

You see, dear?

This is why they deserve to own Britain

Will rang.

He's arrived in London safely.

Our eldest.

And favorite.

What a horrid thing to say, Charles.

Well, it's true.

l

I love all my children equally.

You do?

I don't.

Please ignore him.

He's under a mountain of pressure.

Hasn't heard from a particular friend.

And it's set him in a foul mood.

Eat up, darling.

What are you doing?

It's none of your business.

I'm writing to a friend.

You don't have friends besides us.

Is that a telegram?

Arrived just now, from Sir Mosley’s secretary.

What does it say?

He and Sir Mosley are coming.

Here?

Eye of a herring. Belly of a brown trout.

I remember bold and daring

I was in nature's chapel grown.

Stella!

Stella, come down! Stella!

What are you thinking about?

My father.

Now, how do you say that in German?

Mein...

Together.

Mein Vater.

And how do you say your father, Emmy?

Well, open your book.

It's too hot to read.

Es ist zu heiß zum Lesen.

Charles, you look even less interested than Emmy, if that's possible.

I don't want to learn German.

No offense, Miss.

Dein Vater has asked me to teach you.

It's pointless I'm going to be a civil engineer.

I’d been very keen if you knew any trigonometry?

Fine.

I'll make a deal with you.

Okay.

I'm going to teach you a German song

and if you learn it.

Then we can go on an adventure.

Yes.

What kind of adventure?

Well, if I told you then it wouldn't be one, would it?

They're laughing.

That's nice.

I think they're singing.

How lovely.

Was kommt dort von der Höh, Was kommt dort von der Höh...

Excellent. Gute Arbeit, Kinder.

But we haven't finished yet.

That's enough for today.

Get your things.

I thought you’d like some exercise and fresh air.

We're not allowed to go this far.

Charles, come here!

Do you think fairies live there?

I don't know.

It's someone trespassing on our property.

Oh, Charles. Honestly.

Du gehst mir auf den Keks.

See this and be inspired, Mr. Architect. It has romance, no?

I guess.

And those walls are connected to the earth rather than imposing itself on it.

Unlike our house.

Exactly.

It's good position, don't you think?

But, it doesn't look like anybody lives there.

Shall I see?

But what about our lesson?

What’s ‘my house’ auf Deutch.

Mein haus.

Gut. Stay here.

Hör jetzt auf. Bitte.

Was machst du gerade!

Bitte.

Was machst du gerade!

Nach Hause gehen!

Vater?

Zogn deyn muter mir hobn shoyn erestid.

Papa!

Someone's coming!

Come on. This is brilliant fun!

There you are

Thank God.

“Wir sind nicht reich an dem, was wir besitzen, sondern an dem, worauf wir verzichten können."

Fairies live there.

No, they don't.

Yes.

Sounds like they've had a marvelous day.

Deep in the woods, father. You should have seen it.

Should I?

Ask Stella, she went in.

Did you my, dear?

Oh, it was abandoned.

No one had lived there for some time.

Well good, I don’t want you going there again. It sounds dangerous.

Can someone enlighten me

what this has to do with German lessons?

Mein Haus liegt im Wald.

Oh, excellent.

What did she say?

Father, I have ideas to build a house there.

It's such a lovely spot.

I did some drawings later this afternoon.

No.

But if you would....

What is it, Isabelle?

I'm sorry to interrupt, Your Ladyship.

There's a phone call for Miss Deutch.

Who from?

Fraulein Gernontz.

Do you know someone of that name, Stella?

You better take it, but come back. I have something to say to you.To all of you.

Fraulein Gernontz?

Es ist Stella.

Ich habe deinen Brief bekommen.

Fraulein Gernontz, I don’t have long.

Wo sind meine Eltern?

Was?

Wohin sind sie gegangen?

thank you.

I said no, and that's final.

Don't mind us, dear.

Did you enjoy your call?

Quite something.

A call from Germany.

Now, dear, you had something you wanted to say to us all?

Right! Yes.

Now that I have you all here.

Double the German lessons, Stella.

What? Why?

Mosley is coming.

Yes, my good friend.

You've never met him.

My good friend, Sir Oswald Mosley,

the most important man in Britain.

What about the king?

Yes, quite, yes.

Mosley has accepted our invitation to stay while on tour of Scotland.

And we are all honoured.

So I need everyone at the helm.

Daylea, I'd like to organize some kind of reception.

I need you to organize this.

Yes, of course, dear.

How exciting.

When exactly is he coming?

Two weeks.

Stella, I'd like you to teach the children some kind of German song to sing.

We’re not your performing monkeys!

As a matter of fact, you are.

I've run out of material to teach them.

Not a problem.

There's a bookshop in Wigtown. Buy some books.

That's an excellent idea.

I'm going into town myself tomorrow, Stella, I can take you.

Oh, no. That's your day off.

I'm happy to go.

You see? Germans. never lazy, Not like the Scots.

That's why we need Heir Hitler, to make this country great again.

Thank you for dinner.

You're not leaving?

I'm tired.

I'm not sure where she's from.

I know.

Very suspicious.

And then she hung up the phone.

Just like that.

Fine, But what did she say?

How should I know? I’m not in the habit of speaking German.

What are you two up to?

What's he up to more like.

Absolutely nothing, as usual.

I have it all figured out.

Rose you’re dripping dirty water onto my nice clean floor!

Sorry. Just don't say anything important.

All right, out with it.

She is a spy.

Get on!

I'm serious

Spy for who?

Who's a spy?

Miss. Deutch

Well, it is possible for the Germans

Yes. Think about it. What's a highly educated German.

Classically trained singer...

And beautiful.

Doing applying for a scullery maid job In the middle of nowhere in Scotland.

No offence, Rosie.

Right? This is cozy.

Everyone out on you go.

Richard Hannay, before you catch your next spy, help me with the candles.

Baruch ata adoni.

Elohaynu melech ha olam, ashare kidshanu bamitzvotav, vitzivanu, lechadleeknair, shel Shabbat.

Gut Shabbos, muter.

Zeyn shtark, Ester.

This one please, Mrs. MacKinnon.

There

I shan’t be long today.

There's just so much to organize.

Lord Rig wants a celebration short of ball.

Goodness knows who's going to pay for it.

Mr. Mosley can be content with a lunch as far as I’m concerned

Sorry. Sorry. I'm here.

Oh, I completely forgot you were joining, my dear.

It's my fault I'm late.

You look like you've hardly slept.

I'm fine.

William barely slept either.

He was popping in and out of the bedroom like a train in a railway station.

Nerves you know, for our impending guest. I couldn’t give a damn about the fascist.

But at least all my children will be together for the occasion.

For that, I'm very excited.

My dear,

you were going to offer me a company today.

But aren't I taking you away from the children?

Oh, Lady Rig it’s Saturday. There are no classes today.

Oh, my. How time flies.

You were kind enough to offer me a drive to the bookshop.

I'm so sorry.

Don't mind me, I'm going gaga you know.

Well, I shall enjoy your company for the ride at least.

Morning.

Oh, hello Will.

Hello.

The latest edition of Margaret Fuller's.

The Life Without and the Life Within hasn't turned up yet.

I'm so sorry to say.

No matter. I’ve actually come in for something else today.

Anything to help me translate that.

First shelf on the left.

Popular section today.

I could have you arrested, you know?

I'm sorry.

Breaking and entering

it's a criminal offense.

It's not really a crime, if it's not your land to start with.

It's a fair point.

I’d still have you on stealing.

I'm sorry. That was an accident.

Thank you for returning it.

Would you like me to tell you what it says?

Where's the fun in that?

Did you come all the way into town just for the quote?

Yes.

So, it better not disappoint.

Thank you.

Was there anything else, miss?

No, thank you.

Are you studying German?

Tutoring, actually. For the summer.

So visiting?

We are not rich in what we own.

But in what we can do without.

Thank you.

Don't hang around on my account.

Waiting for someone?

Yes.

Boyfriend?

Does the Earl of Rig know you’ve moved in?

The Earl of Rig, is an entitled fascist.

with enough land to spare. I wouldn’t ask him for anything.

Where are you staying?

With friends.

Friends?

They live outside of town. On a farm.

You wouldn't know them.

Have you seen Cruggleton Castle yet?

What about Saint Ninnian’s cave?

Or the Whithorn priory? You must have seen that, with the celtic stones?

No.

Outrageous.

What kind of friends of these?

Busy ones.

Too busy to pick you up?

B

I think they might have forgot.

Well, at least they've taken you to Whithorn for some ice cream.

No ice cream?

Right? Well, that does it.

Get on.

You live in a shack, but you ride a motorcycle?

I borrowed it.

But you can sit on the back.

What are you waiting for?

I don't know you

Okay.

What's your name?

Stella

My name is Will

Good morning, Will.

See?

I'll drive you

wherever you'd like to go.

Come on.

What happened to the rest of the castle?

Wars, time, farmers.

Since you stole my private property and read my unfinished poems,

it's only fair that you return me with a song

an art, for an art.

And I won't press charges.

I don't know what I would sing.

Anything.

I don't know why.

But the only thing in my head right now is a song that my grandmother used to sing to me.

Good. Sing that!

Da mama ist gagangan in marcherine for coyln

hotz zi mer gibrought? A maidele foyn Poyln.

Oh is dus a maidele a shintz unt a findz.

Mit a shvartze eygele,

ketzele du mintz.

Oh, I'm starving.

Go on, cut the tomato and I’ll make us a sandwich.

I can't eat your lunch.

There's plenty.

Besides, we are not rich in what we own

but in what we can do without.

That was Kant.

father of transcendentalism.

I saw your Emerson book...

I understood.

so who are you?

Unless I've been

living on my own for so long that you are a figment

of my imagination.

I don't like talking about myself.

Okay.

I'm from Germany.

Usually followed with you don't sound German.

My parents sent me to board at school here when I was 9. In London.

They thought it would give me an advantage to learn English.

That must have been hard.

I know what those schools are like.

You a writer then?

I'm a singer.

Well, I studied music at university.

Really?

What university?

Oxford.

Well, I did study.

My parents could no longer afford the fees.

So now I'm tutoring for the summer

That is until I earn enough to travel back to them.

Politics as they are, it may be better if you didn’t go back.

For now.

Yeah, that's what they think.

They're right.

Or did think.

I'm having trouble reaching them.

I'm sorry.

You must be so worried.

So, how long have you been living in the woods?

For the summer.

I left university to become

a poet.

It's going slowly

Thoreau, Emerson, they have become my life.

Honestly, I feel I've been born in the wrong time.

So when should you have existed?

Concord, Massachusetts.

1850.

I would have spent my days on adventures with the Rue

arguing with Emmerson, marrying Margaret Fuller

before she left for Europe.

I never felt a life

destined for me

fit somehow,

or that I fit

like I'd been a changeling, born from a different place and people completely.

That is, until I found the transcendentalists.

Your people to.

My people?

Kant, Goethe.

I see.

You should have grown up in my household then.

My father is a professor of philosophy.

What?

Professor Bernard Deutch

couldn't escape the world of self-improvement

Daily readings of Kant, Carlyle, the Upanishads.

I am green with envy. To be surrounded by transcendental ideals.

It must have been heaven.

It was terrible.

self-improvement can be a harsh philosophy.

Even a fascist one in the wrong hands.

Crap.

��

Someone will come.

You said that an hour ago.

I have the privilege to be waiting for a car

with a German songbird,

a goddess, a bright star.

Too much.

It's a work in progress.

I didn't say anything before, but I do really like your poetry.

You don't have to be polite.

Even in the bleakest season

Wet and brown and seaweed strung.

February’s fingertips like Midas

Golden, touching down.

You have talent, Will

Here.

I should just walk.

No, it's too far.

Wait here.

Oh, Angus, thank God!
