Original subtitles

I wish we could have gotten here sooner.

Is there anything else we can do?

Not at this stage.

You have a list of the passengers in the hospital.

I have another of the dead.

Five victims is tragic, of course.

But no women and no children, thank God.

It might have been much worse.

I want to give you something for all that you've done.

For the Red Cross.

Thank you, Mr. Russell.

We're very great from Ms. Barton.

Will you be at the next meeting, Mrs. Russell?

I'll quite understand if you'd rather not.

She'll be there.

What should we do now?

The wounded are in Pennsylvania Hospital.

You could go there.

The police need to speak with you.

But they can do that back in New York.

Mr. Russell?

Mrs. Russell.

He's from the data graphic.

They came for pictures of the train,

but now they've seen you.

I don't know what I'm doing.

And they might say we were hiding.

To end that.

Five dead doesn't seem very many.

Oh, actus.

Think of their families.

Of course it was negligence on Mr. Russell's part.

Is that fair?

He's the captain, isn't he?

Or doesn't an officer take responsibility in that class?

Of course he'll take responsibility,

but it doesn't mean it's his fault.

I do not follow you.

When is the committee meeting at a residence?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I do not follow you.

When is the committee meeting at Aurora's?

Is it this week?

Thursday.

But I'm not sure it will happen now.

Why not?

Someone she's expecting may not be able to get there after all?

Why are you being so elliptical?

Who may not come to the meeting?

Mrs. Russell.

Oh.

Heaven's madness.

Can we let Marion off the witness stand for ten minutes at least?

I had a letter from cousin Margaret this morning.

She says the opera war is really heating up.

Why does there have to be a war?

Why can't the academy create more boxes for the new people to rent?

Because the academy of music is one of the last bastions of decency and standards in this city.

We will not patronize any jumped-up upper house, however loud and gaudier may be.

Metal fatigue in a broken axle.

That's impossible.

Not if they weren't you when they were installed.

At some point in the chain a man did this and I want to know who.

We're dealing with it.

The public will think we've cut corners and the result is five innocent deaths.

They'll know we have a killer on our payroll and we need to make it clear it isn't me.

The police are doing their best.

Get on to Pinkerton.

I want a couple of his men on the case.

Give them all the help they need.

Keep me up to date with their inquiries.

Of course.

You should go home.

I thought you'd like to see the latest coverage.

We're not too badly damaged on the market I'm glad to say.

Oh Miss Barton gave a good quote.

She called you grief-stricken.

I am grief-stricken.

You're also very rich and likely to remain so.

Away I know Erin.

Miss Scott.

Miss Brooks' Red Cross meeting is today.

I've said I'd go with her.

I'm not sure who in will be back.

Oh don't worry.

Do you have any arms you'd like me to run?

I know.

I'm going shopping tomorrow.

What about you Miss Armstrong?

Meaning what?

Meaning nothing.

Miss Scott is offering to do as a good turn.

Why is she suggesting we can't do our work?

I'll be off Mrs. Bauer or I'll keep Miss Brooke waiting.

What is the matter with you?

I'm always trying to set me up.

A some poor sad creature who's too old for the work she's employed to do.

You watch.

You'll see it.

You're very quiet.

I'm just thinking about the poor men in the train crash.

Oh half meal for their wives.

Making dinner, expecting their husbands to be home at any moment.

Suppose the truth is you never know what's coming next.

So we should try to get the most out of what's happening now.

Sometimes it's hard to be quite sure of what is happening now.

If you mean Mr. Rakes.

I like him.

He's a fine lawyer.

He's been kind to me.

Of course he's handsome.

I feel a butt coming on.

The things he said in dance.

While you listened in the shadows, he didn't seem to have much of a plan.

That's all.

By the way, after this meeting is over, would you like him to see you home?

Why?

Where are you going?

The lower men happened to the globe office.

I'm meeting Mr. Fortin.

The writing career is so exciting.

Mr. Brooke, how nice to see you.

You remember Miss Scott?

Of course.

I read your article in the Globe, Miss Scott.

You were very flattering.

I only hope I did to justice.

Either way, you are welcome at my meeting.

Mr. Spain.

Miss Barton.

Now, Aurora.

Miss Scott.

Excuse me.

I brought my dollar, Miss Ede.

Oh.

How trying it is for you.

No.

I must pay my debt.

Well, if it becomes troublesome, just let me know.

I've asked Mrs. Russell to join us.

Why?

She is the wife of a murderer who has even more blood on her.

She's a good woman.

She is the wife of a murderer who has even more blood on his hands now than when he killed my husband.

Mrs. Morris, you have suffered a great deal.

And I am sorry for it.

But I hope you can recognize that this meeting is not the place to address Mrs. Russell's work.

Mrs. Russell isn't a society squabble.

Since Mrs. Russell is not in society.

What an interesting moment for me to arrive.

Ladies?

Ladies, if Mrs. Russell will be seated, we'll have a show of hands, all in favor of inviting Mrs. Russell on the board.

I would like to remind you that no one in this city has done more real good for my cause.

So money is the deciding factor here.

Yet again, what a sad and vulgar world we live in.

We're not arranging a debut on ball, Mrs. Morris.

We're raising money to bring help to people in dire need all over this country.

And because I cannot give as much as Mrs. Russell, I am to be jettisoned while she is in throne.

How thrilling you make it sound.

Nobody is being jettisoned.

Good luck with your new mother.

Good luck with your new member and your new set of values.

I do not share your admiration for either.

Shall we all collect a cup of coffee before we regroup?

Yes, wonderful idea.

Mrs. Scott, I am pleased to see you here.

Thank you for that, Mrs. Fainty.

It's a pleasure.

Let us hope your article will have interested others in our cause.

Which reminds me, Miss Brooke, have you made any progress with Mrs. Chamberlain?

I'm calling on her next Thursday.

Well, my dear, are you sure?

I was rather hoping that would be forgotten after Mrs. Russell's generous gift.

No opportunity to raise funds may be forgotten, and surely no one decent could doubt Miss Brooke's motives.

Maybe not.

But there are plenty of people in New York who are not decent at all.

Mrs. Russell is letting the battle?

The battle, maybe, but not the war.

Not yet.

Now we need to have... I'll drop you off at the globe offices.

Where to?

Cedar Street.

Cedar Street in Lower Manhattan, please, and then to Sixty-first Street.

I'll drive you, not her.

Aren't you in business to make money, sir?

Step back.

I will not step back.

Oh, room.

But it's not unusual. What was the point of that?

Aren't some fights worth having?

Not if it's going to make me late from my meeting.

I don't understand.

You've just discovered injustice. I've lived within my whole life.

If I spent everyday fighting with bigots, I've never get anything done.

Miss Time, let me inhale the cab. If it stops, that means it'll take me.

Oh, man.

I want to apologize for Mrs. Morris. She forgot herself.

She's angry and she blames George, so naturally she hates me.

You're very philosophical.

I've had worse to deal with.

Of course you have. I was so sorry to read about the accident.

Isn't it typical? Just as we seem to be getting somewhere.

No one will blame you. And to prove my point, there is another matter I want to discuss with you.

Mr. McAllister has written to me. He said you have made him curious to see your palace on the avenue.

Warden McAllister wants me to entertain him in my own home?

He does.

Well, what if he's told Mrs. Ast?

I think he will. But whom could I invite with him?

I can't include anyone from his own, sir. I don't know them.

A simple, the same group that came here. He enjoyed himself then.

Why shouldn't he again? But the service must be English. He uses it to frighten newcomers.

Well, it's a word with me.

You'll manage. But be sure to make it a success. He won't give you a second chance.

You've essentially done something Parker never felt possible.

What is that?

Increase our subscriptions.

Why don't you look happy?

Well, probably because I'm in shock. But how do you know that my article is responsible for this?

My agents along the eastern seaboard report strong sales and quite a bit of chatter about your piece.

It's not often that colored journalists have access to the likes of Clara Barton.

I have a friend who made the introduction to Miss Barton and she was very willing to be interviewed.

Well...

I'll keep up the good work.

I'll do my best.

Does Missio McAllister have to follow the English fashion?

Might he not welcome a change?

Apparently not.

Do you have a menu in mind?

Fish and chips? Seward pudding? Or what about boiled beef and carrots?

The principal dish will be French. I think he'll forgive that.

But we will give an English flavor to some of the other courses just for fun. You'll know how to do it.

As you wish, Madame.

However, the service must be entirely in the English style.

I will make a list of suggestions.

Thank you. But, Church, are you sure you can bring off a luncheon laid and served in the English manner?

Why shouldn't we?

It is a good deal to take on. Thank you all very much.

May I make a suggestion, ma'am?

Please do.

Are you aware that Mrs. Van Rine's butler across the road is English?

And I believe Mrs. Van Rine follows English traditions.

Wouldn't she just? But what are you suggesting?

Rather than put, Church, to the test, why not let Mr. Banister solve any problems before they arise?

Of course, we'd have to get Mr. Church to agree.

I'll leave that to you. But don't give him the chance.

I'll leave that to you. But don't give him the choice.

Thank you. Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

I need an invitation. No.

Are they going to prepare something in the kitchen? A lot of put off my piano students who will be here in the morning.

No need. I can't stay long.

Long enough for me to congratulate you in person on your story.

Have you shown it to father?

Yes. But he didn't read it?

He read it? But he doesn't wish to encourage you to pursue a career that he thinks is bound to fail.

He's wrong. I've just come from Mr. Fortune's office.

He said my article has increased their circulation.

You should tell your father that. Why?

When he doesn't approve of anything I do.

We have to get through it. We're a family and we must.

Get through it. Please don't come by 6th to 1st Street again and speak with Miss Brooke about family matters.

Don't cut us out, Peggy.

I don't want to cut you out, mama. I've never wanted that.

Just your father.

Can we meet without him then? We'll see.

How did you get on?

Very well. I'm now a member of the board with a ringing endorsement from Miss Barton herself.

And is Mars made no trouble?

I wouldn't quite say that. But Mrs. Fane, Miss Barton and Miss Brooke all ganged up against her.

And Miss Brooke. That's nice.

They know what caused the crash. One of the axles broke.

How could that be? It was substandard. All of the axles on the engine were substandard.

Someone in my organization used old and damaged axles on the engine, stealing my money as he did so and killing five men in the process.

We must try and control the damage.

The company's taken a bit of a dent, but we seem to be climbing back.

No, I'm at the damage to us. You and me. Can you manage the papers?

Within limits. Unless it goes to trial.

Because I heard today that Mr. McAllister wants to come here for luncheon. What do you think of that?

Well, if you're asking, I think the fact that five men are dead and a member of my staff has blood on his hands is a little more important than whether or not the great ward McAllister comes here for luncheon.

It matters, George. I've worked for this and it matters to me even if it doesn't to you.

Well, you're right there. I don't give a rat's ass when Mr. McAllister breaks his bread.

I'm sorry.

I know what I want and he can help me to get it.

By the way, he's written to her. Mr. Baldwin.

You still open Gladys's letters?

Always.

Well, give it to her now.

He's accepted the situation, but he writes a little too well.

Then I'll give it to her.

If you go soft on me now, George, we could lose everything we've worked for.

Who am I going soft about?

The dead in the train wreck or your only daughter?

Just... please don't be soft.

No one could accuse you of that.

But what's he done wrong?

Your mother thinks you're too young for an engagement, that's all.

But it isn't all.

If she said we had to wait a year or something, I'd accept it, but she hasn't.

I know, and I'm sorry.

Don't pretend. You're the one who set out the conditions.

Why do you say that?

Your father asks from my ward that we will not meet again.

Or if we do that, we should not attempt to speak in any private manner.

Your mother thinks it best.

You're one of the most successful men in the country.

With real estate and steel and copper and coal and oil and railroads of the envy of the world

and you can't send up to your wife?

I suppose you bought him off.

And if he took him, he wasn't worthy of me. That's what mother will say.

Don't be too hard on the boy. I made it tough for him to refuse.

I just wish I knew the reason.

Because your mother believes that you have more to come than marriage to a banker in Manhattan.

What's wrong with that?

Nothing.

It's not special.

Father, I'm not special.

Why can't she see it? I'm ordinary.

I'm just an ordinary person who wants an ordinary life.

No, my darling.

You are not an elite ordinary.

On that point, your mother and I are as one.

You intend to accept a luncheon invitation from Mrs. Russell?

Should I have gone without telling?

She could have done that, you know.

These people, you shut the door, they come in the window.

You shut the window, they come down the chimney. They never give up.

But isn't that a good thing?

Why is she here?

I'm not a good friend.

I'm not a good friend.

I'm not a good friend.

I'm not a good friend.

But isn't that a good thing?

Why is she entertaining at all?

Shouldn't she be in mourning?

She wasn't driving the train, Agnes.

So, she's ensnared Mr. McAllister and dragged him to her lair?

I think he's just coming to luncheon.

She hopes to trap the Queen Bee.

Now she's caught the drone.

But Lena Astor would never set foot in that house if they laid a trail of gold from the sidewalk.

You think he'll be there?

I think so.

I wish I could see what he's done wrong.

I've told you. He's an adventurer.

I suppose he's worming his way into every ballroom in the city.

It's true. People invite him, but that's because he's pleasant and popular.

Everyone likes him.

Everyone except me.

Be warned, my dear. He won't need you much longer if he keeps this up.

Any minute now he'll see his chance and move on to more glittering prizes.

Hagnas. What a horrid thing to say. You don't know him on tagness.

I know his type, and I am never wrong.

You're wrong this time.

Marion didn't mean that.

Yes, she did.

And mark my words. It will come back to haunt her.

Uncle.

What did Miss Ada want when you went to her yesterday?

Not seeing matters.

I don't suppose she was changing menus without asking Mrs Van Rine.

That's the drawing room, John.

It was one of the Russian footmen.

I'll take it up. I should get back to work.

It's for Mr. B

and I'll be married by Miss Scott Scribblings.

Why, should I be?

Won't she call talk about Mrs Van Rine?

Not that she'd mean to, of course, but I do worry.

Of course you do, Miss Armstrong.

I had a message from Mrs. Fish this morning.

She's having a tea party and she's invited me and Gladys.

How nice.

She calls it a doll's tea party, but she doesn't say if the guests are the dolls or she provides them.

You will go, but not Gladys.

Why not?

You know perfectly well why not.

Mother, it's a doll's tea party, not an embassy ball.

Besides, Carrie Astor will be there.

And the gardener's sisters and some others who Gladys ought to know.

I agree.

What harm would it do?

Why do you think Miss Astor will be there?

She's a favorite of Mrs. Fish.

Oh, very well.

You know, I'm helpless when you all gang up against me.

I'm afraid I've embarrassed you.

On the contrary, I'm glad.

But first, I need to know the menu.

What difference does that make?

If you were to serve asparagus, for example, you would lay a fingerball in no cutlery.

The English eat it with their fingers.

Americans do not.

That's all the things.

I'm glad.

I'm glad.

I'm glad.

But first, I need to know the menu.

What difference does that make?

I'm glad.

That's all the things.

Well, the main course will be French.

But the mistress would like to embellish it with some English dishes.

I would value your advice.

I'll send over some suggestions.

Then, when the choices are made, you can lay the table.

I'll inspect it and I'll now take any irregularities.

Very good.

And now I'll take my leave.

What do you think?

Let's avoid asparagus.

Larry, you came and you brought your sister.

I'm so happy.

It's very kind of you to invite me.

Not since.

No, come on in.

This is my baby's party, really.

Isn't it, honey?

Now, we all pick a doll and we make sure they have enough to eat and drink throughout the afternoon.

Oh, excuse me.

What's the video now?

I don't know.

It's not pick a doll.

Hello.

Not a good moment.

Of course it is.

It's nice to see you.

And is this your sister?

Miss Aster, may I present Miss Gladys Russell?

We were wondering what we were supposed to do with the dolls.

Don't worry.

Mamie gets these wild ideas for her parties, but people may know attention.

They're normal sandwiches at the end of the room.

Oh, look, there's Billy Dreeton.

Will you excuse me?

I'm sorry.

Will you excuse me?

Would you like me to fetch you a cup of tea or something to eat?

No, thank you.

Maybe you'd rather be on your own.

No, I'll be all right in a minute.

The fact is I have a very difficult mother.

Well, I know what that's like.

Your mother could not possibly be as difficult as mine.

No.

My mother keeps me under house arrest.

I'm allowed no friends.

God forbid I should speak to a man.

Why has she let you come here?

My brother persuaded her.

But she'll regret it and I'll pay.

Shall I come and visit you?

I could bring you a cake with a file in it.

What's your quarrel about?

What do you think?

A man, of course.

Who's not good enough for you?

So she says, but he is.

We're really going to have to shake on that.

What's this?

You know what it is.

A salad fork.

We never lay a fork without a knife or a spoon to partner it.

Nor is salad, of course, on its own.

It is eaten with the entree or the remove on salad plates which fit the curve of a larger dish.

And what is this?

What does it look like, Mr. Baner's story?

A spoon for the coffee.

No teaspoon is ever laid on an English table.

If one is needed, it is supplied at the opposite moment.

Mrs. Russell, good day to you.

My maid told me you were here. This is very kind.

I'm pleased to be of assistance.

There's so many snares designed to catch us out.

We have it under control, man.

I'm afraid I've asked too much of you, Church.

It wasn't fair of me, Mr. Banerster.

For all our sakes, is there any chance I can prevail on you to take charge?

At the luncheon for Mr. McAllister.

Exactly. On Friday the 18th. I would be so grateful.

Ma'am, I'm sure we can manage.

I won't be so cruel as to make you try.

What do you say, Mr. Banerster? Would Mrs. Van Reine never allow it?

I'm afraid there'd be a problem, Madam. I cannot pretend otherwise.

Well, I hope it's a problem that $100 will solve.

$100?

I understand. I'm asking a lot.

You could rely on me, Madam. Don't give it another thought.

In two days' time, Mr. Church and I will finalize the setting.

But what position would I occupy? I must be here. Mr. Banerster is not familiar with the house.

You can settle that between you.

I do not quite understand how I am to present this to the staff.

Why not tell them the truth, Church?

There are some situations when it really can be helpful.

You want me to be the bummer?

Don't make so much of it, boy.

I want you to serve a perfectly routine luncheon to two elderly ladies. That is all.

What will I tell the others?

Family business obliges me to be away for a few hours. It's one luncheon for heaven's sake.

I'll do it, Mr. Banerster.

I'll do it, Mr. Banerster.

I'll do it, Mr. Banerster.

I'll do it, Mr. Banerster.

I'll do it, Mr. Banerster.

Of course.

Better you than me.

You can do it.

I don't see much point in a Linux library.

Of course it's wonderful to find a Gutenberg Bible, leave him behind glass, but there's nothing you can touch, let alone read.

They should call it a museum.

Exactly.

Now I need a cab. I said I'd be with Mrs. Chamberlain by four.

What will you tell your answer?

I'm not going to do it.

I'll say I went with the U to the Linux library.

Which will be true.

Mr. Russell.

Miss Brock.

Miss Scott, my art secretary.

How do you do?

What are you up to in an architect's office?

You can't be planning to build another house.

And they can't mean to wide-build our present house, opposite you.

I know. Are you making changes?

It seems very splendid to me.

You know.

I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to do it.

I'll tell you if you won't give me away.

I'm intriguing.

I'm interested in a career in architecture.

I've been talking to Mr. White about a job.

I thought you were a banker, don't you work for your father?

Banking is part of it, but also railroads steal real estate.

Won't that bring you into contact with architects?

Not enough. I want to train properly and build up a practice.

I applaud your enthusiasm and I envy your freedom.

My freedom may require work.

Oh.

And I'd be grateful if you didn't mention this to my parents.

My father's been going through a tough time and I don't want to make it worse.

I promise, but won't Mr. White say something?

He's going to help me persuade them.

At least I hope he is.

That's a brave man who contradicts his own clients.

And that's why he must wish me luck.

I do. Most sincerely.

Now I'll bid you good day.

I'm expected to be office.

He seems nice.

I think he is nice.

Here we are.

I suppose they want money from me.

Mrs. Russell gave a large son and now she has a seat on the board.

You are pure, my dear.

But there will be no seat on the board for me or every other seat would be empty.

Still.

They were clever to send you.

I was the only one who knew you.

You were the only one who had admitted.

It seems very hard that you should be punished in perpetuity.

I suppose you know my story.

I know what they say.

Well to you I'll confess that what they say is the unvarnished truth.

I was with the husband.

I was with the husband.

I was with the husband of another woman while she was still alive.

I broke the rules.

I'm on the brink of breaking them myself.

My aunt's rules anyway.

Tell me.

There's a man.

Respectable. Hardworking.

A successful attorney in fact.

But my aunt's believed him to be an unworthy adventurer who's using me to get ahead.

And you disagree?

He doesn't need me to get into society.

He's already there and I have no money.

So why would he pursue me if it wasn't true?

Well what do you plan to do?

That's so difficult.

We meet for a few stolen moments in the park or the opera.

In other words you hardly know him and your answer against it.

But what do they know?

A great deal about how this city works.

I don't regret my choice not for a moment because I knew a great love.

But without it my path would have been a stony one.

How can I know if it is a great love if I'm not allowed to see him for more than a minute?

Then meet him here and take some time to talk it through.

I will invite him when you tell me.

Why would you do that for me?

Because you are the first woman in New York who has shown me any of the things that you've done.

I've never seen any respect since my Augustus died.

Things were different when he was alive as you can imagine.

But when he was buried so was my life in this town.

I tried to talk to him when we meet but she watches me like a hawk.

Church said he had a visitor.

Mother, may I present Ms. Astor?

Ms. Astor, I'm delighted Gladys and Larry have spoken of you.

I just looked into see if Gladys could join a few friends of mine for lunch next week.

Where?

At my mother's house. I'm 34th and 5th. Just a few people.

Well, Gladys isn't out yet.

She will be soon, won't she? This house would be quite perfect for a ball.

Thank you and don't worry, she'll have a ball when the time is right.

Maybe we could arrange a quadrille for it? We did that at my party and people loved it.

You danced quadrills?

No, I mean groups of men and girls were first various dances that they performed before the guests.

The special costumes and everything.

How charming that sounds.

Doesn't it?

Think what you would like to dance Gladys, perhaps Ms. Astor can help.

Ring down for tea if Ms. Astor would like some.

It happens.

Normally any mention of my debut when she runs for the hills.

Oh?

She seemed like the idea.

She did.

Well, wonders never cease.

What sort of family business do you have any family here?

No, but there are some matters that require legal advice.

Then why must it be at lunchtime?

Won't the lawyer want to eat some luncheon or is there a fasting monk?

No.

Then go in the morning and serve us our luncheon when we need it.

But he only opens his office from noon to three, Mum.

And it will take three hours?

I fear so.

Minister is throwing us over to see a lawyer who fasts at lunchtime.

But how interesting.

Is he a Muslim?

And is it Ramadan?

You'd better go down and send up Armstrong to help me change.

What would we see of a surgeon suddenly flung down his scalpel and went off to see a fasting lawyer?

I'm sure he has a reason.

Benedict Arnold had a reason when he tried to sell West Point to the British.

Are you ready to go down, dear?

Almost.

Then I'll wait and we can walk together.

Now, I think you're lunching with Mrs. Russell tomorrow?

Yes.

I just wondered if we could stay off the subject tonight.

Agnes is had a running with banister and I'd rather keep the evening smooth.

I won't bring it up.

What's banister done?

I'm not certain.

He seems to have got involved with some sort of religious lawyer who thinks we're wrong to eat lunches.

But I may be a bit muddled.

You seem very preoccupied.

You're right, ma'am.

I do have some things on my mind.

Such as?

Miss Scott has written an article and they say it's widely talked of.

I'm just concerned.

They might trace her back to this house.

I hope this concern has nothing to do with your presence.

It's nothing to do with your prejudice against Miss Scott.

Prejudice, ma'am?

Please learn to control it.

Why do you say that, ma'am?

I will say more.

If you continue to try to make trouble for Miss Scott, I will be angry.

You are warned.

Well, it will have to do.

Thank you, Armstrong.

And learn some charity in the future.

Has Pinkerton really not come up with anything yet?

They've come up with a great deal.

Well, have something solid for us.

Because we're finalizing the design for the station.

I know. Of course you do.

I can't have this hanging over me.

They will have something for us. I'll show you.

Mr. Prime Minister, before you go...

Can it wait?

Well, it isn't life and death.

Good. Then tell me this afternoon.

Mr. Prime Minister, please.

Hello, Mr. Church.

Won't you join us?

You all have clean gloves?

We do, sir.

Only put them on when you are about to enter the dining room and remove them as soon as you come out.

That's it. Dismissed.

Is everything ready, Mr. Prime?

Ready. If strange.

Why is Chew Vishis was English?

Trust me, it is.

The Eton Mess looks as it sounds a mess made by schoolboys.

Good. I'll check the dining room.

This is intolerable. It's worse than intolerable.

It's ridiculous.

Where are you going?

I'll be back in a moment.

You've counted it twice.

I'm sure it's all under control.

What's easy for you to say?

What about gloves? Are you a footman or a butler when it comes to gloves?

Don't worry him.

No, it's fine.

Mr. Bannister says I'm to wear gloves when I serve the food.

But not when I pour the wine.

That sounds a bit complicated.

Can you manage? Can't you, Jack?

Yes, I can.

I think I can.

Don't want your hand shake when you pour.

Why would it shake?

You won't shake, will it?

Well, you better go in and have them lunches ready.

I think you heard of Mrs. Bannister.

I'll do so.

Mrs. Bannister.

I knew you'd do so.

Miss Brooke, if you'd like to come this way?

That was the church.

Bannister?

All right.

What are you doing here?

Mrs. Russell never mentioned you were coming.

I assume Mrs. Bann Ryan is in the dark.

Don't worry. You're a secret safe with me.

Mr. McAllister, you're most welcome.

An English book.

That's a good start.

I'm always sorry I'm underdressed.

Sir?

I feel I should be in court livery with a pair of wig and red heels.

And of course, you must join us also.

Mr. Ward McAllister?

What surroundings Mrs. Russell?

We could be at South's Collecilo.

Oh, yes.

Catherine the Great would feel quiet at home here.

In so many ways.

Mr. Rust, Mr. McAllister.

How flattering you all are.

Do you admire the impresement?

Do you?

Of course.

She reminds me of Mrs. Asta.

I'm sure she's...

I suppose your life in New York continues as splendidly as ever.

Not as splendid as this house, but I'm off to the opera again tonight.

And I have a ball on Saturday with the treesmen on Long Island.

Pathetic.

How can I compete with that?

Meanwhile, I want to see more of you.

It's pressed my advantage if I have one.

You've not done badly so far.

Shall we go in?

Lovely idea.

Thank you so much.

Mrs. Port.

Mrs. Port, Mr. Ray, is right this way.

To the airport.

That's all I need.

Alright.

I am since lilac.

At this time of year, next you will make the blind see and the lame walk.

Come and sit by me.

You have outdone yourself.

Indeed you have.

It's not too much.

My dear Mrs. Russell, nothing is ever too much for me.

Should you be wearing gloves if you're the butler today?

Mr. Bannister told me to wear them when I was serving the food, ma'am.

You are the butler now, John.

Not the banister.

Rose is over on a whim to please an itinerant monk.

Thank you, ma'am.

Maybe have some more wine.

May I have something to eat?

Here.

Bannister seems to have made things very complicated for you.

Well, don't worry.

We'll report back to him that you've passed your test with flying colors.

You'll not give him the satisfaction of thinking he was missed.

This was on the mat.

It's just been delivered, ma'am.

What?

Agnes?

This was too much.

Agnes?

Don't do anything you'll regret.

May I have some wine now?

You can leave your gloves on.

I'll leave you alone.

I'm dreaming of the sake, but never you can leave.

How can I refuse?

Bannister, do my eyes deceive me.

Will, you see?

Aunt Agnes, what a surprise.

Mrs. Russell never said you were coming.

She's just looked in to pay her compliments to Mr. McAllister, haven't you, Aunt Agnes?

Mrs. Van Ruy.

I think you know everyone.

You remember Mr. Riggs.

How could I forget him?

Can we persuade you to sit down and join us, Mrs. Van Ruy?

I expect we've had lunch in rather earlier than you imagined.

You thought we'd still be in the drawing room.

Didn't you, Aunt?

I mustn't interrupt your party.

It's so kind of you to look in when I know how busy you are.

I should go.

Marion was right.

I must have missed her at the clock.

Next time I hope we can persuade you to stay.

Heads have rolled for less.

A nice surprise, dear Aunt Agnes.

We're all very neighborly here on 61st Street.

Aren't we, Miss Brooke?

I must come back if your luncheons are always this lively.

Heh heh heh heh.

Is it a nice place to work?

Well, it's new.

Everything is of the highest quality.

But she is queen of all she surveys.

Quite a demanding queen at that.

I can imagine.

The one you need to win over is Mr. Russell.

Oh, I've been working on her.

You implied she made all the decisions.

That's true as a rule.

But the master loves his daughter.

He'd never agree to any suit her if he didn't think he'd make her happy.

What should I do?

Show him sympathy and loyalty now.

He didn't when he was having his fight with the Alderman and that counted against you.

All right to him about the train crash.

Hey, I'm sorry I am.

He's worried about it, of course.

But he seems to be concerned about what the police may discover.

Has he done anything wrong?

How should I know?

I'm only telling you that he's vulnerable.

And when you're vulnerable, you appreciate support.

I should be going.

Aren't you forgetting something?

I haven't forgotten.

But I don't do it for the money.

I am well aware of that.

You want your revenge for some reason.

But I don't need to know why.

I'm sorry for antagonist.

Sorry for her and ashamed of myself.

You've done nothing wrong.

You've seen her there.

Alone and surrounded like custard at Little Bighorn facing the annihilation of everything she believes.

Why not help her to find a place where she can help her?

I don't know.

I'm sorry for her and ashamed of myself.

You've done nothing wrong.

You've seen her there.

Alone and surrounded like custard at Little Bighorn facing the annihilation of everything she believes.

Why not help her to find a place for herself in the new world?

He's easier said than done.

What happens next?

Who knows? She won't speak to me.

I hear you did well today, John.

Thank you, Mr. Bannister.

I'm glad you even told that.

I'm sorry I gave you the letter.

Not your fault.

But I mean to find out who wrote it.

I should talk to Ms. Armstrong.

She hasn't heard of what's going on in the other house.

Don't jump to conclusions.

Would you like some warm milk, ma'am, to call me down?

I allowed myself to act on impulse today, Armstrong.

Something I never do.

To act on impulse is to make oneself a hostage to ridicule.

I'm sure these betrayals must be very upsetting.

What do you mean these betrayals?

Have there been others?

It was just something I saw.

I thought you knew.

You would.

About Mr. Oscar.

Tell me.

At once.

Is this Russell's maid?

Are you sure?

Servants and neighboring houses do know each other, ma'am.

Leave me.

Should I give a message to Mr. Bannister?

Never mind, Bannister.

What is Bannister to this?

So there's nothing more you need.

Leave me!

Now!

I'm going to bed.

I want to thank you for your help today.

I think it was a success, don't you?

Thank God for Aurora Feynam's brook saving us from the wrath of Mrs. Van Rine.

What's that?

That's from Clay.

He says they found the man responsible for the axles.

His name is Dixon.

He's the head of the team that built the engine.

Of course he would be.

Good.

He's told the my gave the order.

That's ridiculous.

Please say he has proof.

Let him prove.
