ANNA: 'Previously

I've got a rebelling workforce

and four hours

I've taken the liberty of swiping

I would like to propose a toast.

You're probably

to a really good friend right now.

I'd actually quite like

Cheers.

It's just a question

Situations change.

People can surprise you.

CHARLIE: 'We see all sorts

'Some people pack the kitchen sink.'

'Some people have got travelling

'And some people don't see

'But hotels are also full of people

'carrying a different kind

'The sort you can't easily store

If you think that toupee's

'The marriage that's gone sour.

'The childhood dreams

'But fortunately,

Call that a musical?!

Girls half naked,

it was virtually pornographic.

Well, I can only apologise, sir.

Ordinarily, Chicago is

Absolutely disgusting.

'Putting their own morals aside

'Although, some days,

'Maybe we're missing our family.

'Or we might wish

Mum, when I get a girlfriend,

'We could be worried

'Sometimes, we're torn

'jealousy.'

'But then there are days

How you doing?

Morning.

'Excited by the prospect

'We have absolutely no idea

'our world is about to come

Have a pleasant journey.

Thanks. Bye-bye.

Hi.

Do you want...?

Shall we go to my office?

I just wanted to say that

Yeah. Me, too.

But I think you'll agree

and it probably wasn't a good idea.

I-I mean, if things were different,

I mean, if we weren't, er...

Then I would, erm,

Kiss me again.

But under the circumstances, I think

Yeah, I think you're right,

Then again, being sensible

That is true.

And not everyone can be sensible

Definitely not.

Sod it.

KNOCK AT THE DOOR

Ah, morning, Jackie.

Are the others on their way?

Morning, everyone. Come in.

Well, I hope you all had

What happened to you two?

We decided to just get stuck into

We didn't want a group

Well, I had a good time last night,

because somebody stole a bottle

Give it a rest, Gino.

It's a Christmas party,

Pilfering is a tradition.

Well, I can't say

The cellar is looking worryingly

Well, I'm sorry, Rebecca,

they still haven't paid

Ah, well, I did get a call

which might just help us out.

Here that, James?

She might help you out.

I admire her knowledge of wine,

Yes, so why are you turning red?

That's because he's thinking

"Chateauneuf-du-Papes".

Anyway, James, she told me

some of her late husband's

and she's open to offers

Good God, that is a rarity.

And as she's impressed

the Inter-Hotel Wine Tasting

I'm hoping she'll be inclined

Anyway, James, I think

Make her look favourably

Why don't you ask her

Good.

Right, well,

as the party was

so that's it for today, thanks.

Oh, apart from Charlie,

I just would like a quick word.

Hey, slow down, Gino, Gino.

How about a hair of the dog

After last night,

What, so because of

we all have to suffer?

Look, my customers love

Now, my profits will be down

and if my profits are down,

But, Gino, we all scratch

Mess with the system,

I don't care two figs.

No.

You don't think

She definitely saw something

I don't think so,

Yeah, but still.

I don't think it'd be good

What exactly is this?

Well, I think it would be a shame

Do it again.

I guess there'd be no harm

Unless you don't...

I take it you're not concerned

Charlie...

I always do the sensible thing.

Right time, right place.

My parents loved him,

Why don't we have dinner tonight?

Yeah, sounds great.

As long as you're not cooking.

I'm charming with it.

I'll see you later.

YELPS

Shit! Dan! What are you doing here?

Well, I thought I'd surprise you.

Finally see where my big brother

Are you doing all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Actually, I did want

I need somewhere to stay.

Well, you can stay at mine

I was thinking

Just need to be out the way

It ain't anything dodgy

Just me and my mate John

and borrowed some money

These mates want their money back

Well, yeah.

I can't.

John's calling in some favours,

It'll only be for a couple of days.

I'm a manager here now.

Right, I'll just go

while you look after number one,

Wait!

Room 503 isn't occupied.

Well,

so I'm just putting it down

The Farringtons didn't mention

Well, I'm mentioning it,

'Concierge desk?'

Tony, the two geezers to your left,

I don't like the look of them.

Check 'em out for me,

Are you waiting for a guest, sir?

Good afternoon, then.

Good morning, sir.

The name is

I have a reservation.

Will you excuse me

WHISPERS: Oh, God.

Ah!

Neville! What a surprise.

I didn't know

Well, some business came up,

I thought high time

Well,

I'm sure you'll agree,

Yes, it's certainly very...

Although, the old money we cater for

expects something slightly less...

So, I don't suppose

would have anything to do

Well, I doubt

who'd let that little opportunity

I think it's only fair to warn you,

No, she was rather impressed

with my winning the Inter-Hotel

Oh, good God, James,

you're not still banging on

Just because you have a crush on

I do not have a crush.

Anyway, I must call

I'll be back at lunchtime.

Oh, I'm sorry? Are you dining here?

Yes. With Mrs Klein.

When you invited her to lunch,

So I wouldn't be so sure

Oh, aye!

I could get used to this,

Yeah, well,

No raiding the minibar,

If anybody asks you

Yeah, I know,

You think I'm stupid?

Listen, there's a couple of extras

knocking about in the lobby.

No-one knows you're here, do they?

No, never told anyone I was coming.

Thought we could get

I can't, I've got to go out

Well, maybe we can catch

Cool.

I'll see you later.

It's for Mrs Bullinger, don't ask.

I was just actually gonna

I wanted to speak to you

I'd be really grateful

If anyone were to find out...

Thanks, Jackie.

So, are you two gonna keep

Oh, no, no.

I better get back.

I'll catch you later. Hmm.

Make sure you rake the gravel.

Oh.

SUPRESSED GIGGLES

Mrs Klein, how wonderful to see you.

Mwah! And looking so well!

I hate it when people say

Makes me think

Oh, no, no,

You can go now.

And be back at three,

Come this way.

Mwah!

I believe you two know each other.

Oh, yes, we trained together

James came back to England

when I was offered

Well, we couldn't all sleep with

At least

Now, now, gentlemen.

I'm hungry,

Just here.

And bring me a bottle

Of course.

Gino! Could you get me

I'm rushed off my feet here.

Please.

Psst!

Excuse me?

Could you tell me

Er, that's him

Mr Edwards,

this is my colleague DC Porter.

Of course. Let's go to the office.

It's all right,

OK.

Can I get you a coffee?

Actually, I've always wanted to try

Non-alcoholic, Porter.

BANG

Hello?

Is anybody there?

I haven't spoken to Dan in months.

Is he in some kind of trouble?

A friend of his, Mr John Sampson,

Seems someone wasn't

Your brother went to art school,

Well, if you can call dropping out

going to art school, then, yeah.

Seems Mr Sampson had

running a forgery racket.

He was arranging the sales,

playing at being Leonardo.

We're hoping Dan may know

Any idea where he'd go?

No idea.

Yes, you did say, didn't you?

Although, you'll be amazed

don't remember each other

Anyway, we'll let you

But here's my card.

Should you hear from your brother,

You don't mind if I take

Be my guest.

This wine is excellent.

It has both the intensity

and the wonderful ripeness

Yes, it was a very good vintage.

But then you've always had

Absolutely. I was just about to say

Yes, but I said it first.

You've never been backwards in

Waiters at Le Roi Soleil

Oh, for goodness sakes,

I know you're both after the Petrus.

You're so desperate for it,

I'm going to have you

Compete?

Tomorrow morning,

and the person who gets closest

will win a chance

That's a very amusing idea,

and I for one, relish the challenge.

And I do think it's time

I'd be happy to.

Ah, Jackie, did you tell Charlie

that there's a problem with the loo

No, why?

It's just that he told me that

Maybe you misheard him.

See, I suspect that

and he wants to use the room

Oh.

I'm sorry,

it's just that I presumed

I have. I'm not upset,

I just don't think

should be anyone else's business.

Whoops.

WHISPERS: Dan!

What? I was starving! No-one saw me.

Well, I knew they were angry,

but I didn't think

Police also said

What's all that about?

No bullshit this time.

All right, look...

I only ever wanted it

But John met this rich bloke,

convinced him

Bloke found out it was Moody

I am going to sort

I just need one night here.

Please, Charlie.

Come on, we need to get you

Anna told me there was a problem

I just came to have a look.

You're Charlie's brother.

Dan, this is Jackie.

Dan's in London

I just thought it would be easier

You're not going to say anything,

Course not. What's the point

if you can't get the odd freebie,

Thanks, Jackie. I appreciate it.

You might wanna talk to Anna,

I think she suspects

503 is on the fifth floor,

turn left and it's a few doors down

Thank you.

My God, it's only Bernard Schwartz!

I told you there was a problem

Yeah, and Jackie said

The Franks are two

and they requested

and 503 is the only one

I didn't want to deprive them

just because you want to indulge

or whatever it is

Of course,

No. That's fine.

Get up!

Some guests are on their way up.

So did I.

Here y'are, help me tidy the bed,

Excellent.

Just leave this alone,

REBECCA: So, remember, that's 426.

Both rooms.

WHISPERS: Get in there.

Where?

Charlie? Where have you been?

Are you OK?

I was just wondering what

Oh, they, erm...

I witnessed a fight

They want me to confirm

Right, well, as long as you haven't

Unless it's with me, of course.

Been dying to do this all morning.

Charlie, are you OK?

No, no, I'm absolutely fine.

Just slightly concerned

Right, well, I guess

until tonight, then.

Listen, erm...

About tonight, I'm not gonna be able

Right, OK.

Right, well,

I've got lots of paperwork to do

Listen, I think I better get on.

I...

I'd love nothing more

But I'm gonna have to be

A mate of mine is moving

and I promised him

I can sort something

Yeah, I think I can do tomorrow.

I'll find somewhere extra special.

Great. I'll see you later.

Who's that?

Not now. Here. Lock yourself in.

I'll be back in a bit.

All right, Gino, everything OK?

Oh, Gino,

No, no, I didn't do this mess.

Somebody turned the picture

I don't know,

Earlier, in the cellar,

I heard piano music,

And now this.

What is it? Oh, nothing,

Probably some logical explanation

Somebody banging the lockers

See you later.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

What, the ghost?

Hmm. There's a concierge

He was big on staff

They say when a staff member's angry

it unsettles his spirit.

I want to say sorry

That wasn't very fair of us.

I've got bigger things

If you won that hotel championship,

Well, if I had actually have won,

I cheated. There it is.

My sordid admission.

I have a terrible nose.

This is about the only wine

My trusty friend in hours of need.

The Latour '90.

Oh, well, by this time tomorrow,

everybody will know I'm a fraud.

Well, you don't know for certain

Mmm!

I do love a Californian Merlot.

1990 was such a good year.

That's so good.

That has got to be a fluke.

What are you doing?

Try that.

OK.

Mmm.

Well, it tastes like a Cab Franc,

Which probably makes it

'95.

Well, I'm always drinking fine wines

I must have picked up

Things are going from bad to worse.

Now I feel like Salieri with Mozart.

Right.

Well, it might not be all bad.

Won't you need someone

Erm, I thought you were going

I was, yeah, my friend phoned

so, well, he's not moving tonight.

Right, well, you should have said

I'm gonna go over there anyway

I said I'd get something

MUSIC PLAYS

MUSIC: 'Fools Gold'

# Down, down... #

MUSIC TURNS OFF

Sorry, it just came on the radio,

I brought you a bit of food.

Sorry about messing up your date

So come on, then. Who is she?

Her name's Rebecca.

She's my boss.

Won't it be a bit tricky, shagging

It is at the moment, yeah.

Having to lie every two minutes

Well, that's sort of what I mean.

Wanting to engage

Yeah, you're right.

Let's do the minibar in.

All right, I'm not getting pissed,

MUSIC: 'Have A Nice Day'

Here, Charlie...

AS REBECCA: "I've been dying

Nothing changes,

Oh, when have I ever?

Right, it's bedtime.

Some of us have got work to do

You can stay on the floor.

What? Plenty of room for two.

Charlie, there you are.

I think you know detectives

They want to talk to you

Right, well, I'll leave you to it.

I've got a few things to do.

You don't mind if I eat

Please.

These eggs with mayo are great.

You don't get them

Can we... I'm sorry, I've just got

Oh, yeah, I'm forgetting

We were just wondering

about where Dan might be?

I've already told you,

It's just we found some evidence

that indicates

your brother

What evidence?

We're not at liberty to say.

No, course you're not.

I don't think you've got any.

And I can tell you now

Obviously, the quickest way

would be to speak to him.

He got on a train for London

Well,

True. It's just...

if I needed somewhere to hide,

I'd probably try a place like this.

Nice and big.

Plenty of space to get lost in.

If my brother

I'd be the last person

Well, we'll just

For now.

Well, is there anything else?

Oh, no, no.

You go ahead.

We're just gonna finish off here.

Sorry about that.

Why didn't you tell me

Well, he's a bit of a liability,

and I just didn't want

The police think

They are wrong, Charlie,

I haven't spoken to Danny in weeks.

Absolutely.

Well, you must be really worried.

Well, I'm just

Anyway, I'd better get off,

I've got to speak to Tony

Why don't you tell me about it

I'd like to know about your family.

Sure and I'll catch you later.

OK.

Where does that wine come from?

Italy.

No. My ear is Italian

OK, remember this.

WHISTLES

Chile.

Oh, sod it!

from a country where

OK, you need to stay calm.

How can I, when I can't remember

your ear's Italian,

Well, you obviously do,

You know what you need? Gino?

Any chance of a brandy for James?

He'll pay.

I have to go down to the cellar.

They're obviously

Oh, come on, you don't

Look, this isn't my fault.

Enough!

You spent the last ten years

with shitty little scams that always

expecting me to bail you out.

If they want you for murder,

There is no way on earth

Look, I've got a plan. Mate of mine

If I can get over there,

All I need is a passport.

Come on, Charlie, you must know

No! You're on your own.

I'm not getting my hands

I want you out of the hotel.

Charlie...

Please come back inside.

There's nothing to say.

Is this because you think I did it?

Well, did you?

Jesus, no. Is that

That I'd try and kill my own mate?

I might not be some...

I might not be

but I'm not some sick bastard.

They're going to kill me, Charlie,

You might think that I deserve it,

Because it's you that's got

Thank you.

I didn't say

I'll think about it.

Who's there?

Hello!

Who is it?

MAN LAUGHING MENACINGLY

You OK?

I just tripped over.

Excuse me.

We are just asking

the staff a few questions.

Would you mind if we had a word?

Sorry, what's this about?

Why don't we find somewhere to sit?

OK.

Tony.

I think the ghost

It must be because I didn't give you

I was just in the cellar.

I saw "207" written on the floor.

In blood.

Concierge died of a heart attack

What should I do?

I dunno.

There was a waiter

What was that, tell me?

Well, he went up to 207

and he apologised

Did the ghost go away afterwards?

Look, it's got to be worth a try.

Definitely. Definitely.

Come along. Angus, don't dawdle.

I hope you're both fighting fit

Absolutely. Though I imagine you

Not at all, Neville.

to wiping the floor with you.

Well, we'll see about that.

Good.

The manager's

Why don't we wait in the bar,

I think I'd prefer if Angus did it.

I don't want anything

I mean...

No, the general manager

if it was one of our staff,

..there's a lot of

Oh, all right, then.

But be quick about it.

Let's go to the bar, shall we?

If you see anything,

We'll leave a card at reception.

Don't worry.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I just didn't want to involve you.

He hasn't done it, Jackie.

There's no way I would

Are you OK?

Come here.

I'm really worried about you.

Why don't you tell me

Hello...

It's me.

Gino Primirola.

TITTERING

I want to say that...

I'm very, very sorry

for not giving free drinks

Shh.

It was very unfair of me.

But at least it brought

Which will make Anna very happy.

Anna, she's always saying to me,

"Gino,

"Tony is a hot guy."

"I want him very much."

Anyways...

I'm going now.

And, of course,

I will give free drinks

So...

please, please...

leave me alone.

I don't know

because that's just

Anna, it's fine,

Tony, there's nothing

because I just don't fancy you.

Charlie Edwards.

Yes. How can I help you?

My name is David.

Your brother's been doing

Why don't we go in my office?

No, no, that's fine.

We were just wondering

Well, no,

It's just he owes our boss

and he's understandably

I'd love to help you, but I can't.

And I'm pretty busy, so...

if you'll excuse me.

If you do happen to see Dan,

could you give him

Tell him if he doesn't pay back

we'll find him.

And Mike will cut short

by smashing his hands to pulp.

You all right, Charlie?

Everything is fine.

We were just leaving.

You OK?

Not here.

I'm guessing

The police were asking questions.

I need to get a passport.

And I don't know anyone

They say a good concierge

You didn't hear it from me.

Her name is Karen.

she should be able to sort you out.

Thanks, Tony.

Be careful, Charlie.

You don't want to go down for this.

MUSIC: 'Eye Of The Tiger'

Well, let's get started, then.

You know the rules.

I want grape variety,

country, region and vintage.

Whoever gets the most things right,

CHARLIE: 'To taste wine blind

'Your nose, your taste buds

It reminds me of a chocolaterie

is a 199...

CHARLIE: 'An excellent memory

The tart quality must make it a '92.

It was an exceptionally bad year

I would say this was...

CLEARS THROAT

CHARLIE: 'And you're lost

'of wine-growing countries.'

Italian?

I'd say it was definitely Italian.

You're absolutely right, James.

Well, well, gentlemen,

we have a tie,

and, fortunately,

I brought this with me

Ben, could you give

a pen and paper?

Angus,

could you pour them both some wine,

Neville.

You say it's Bulgari?

Probably 2001.

Oh, yes.

And, James, you say,

it's Bordeaux.

A Latour, '90.

Well, gentlemen,

we have a winner.

James, the Petrus is yours.

Yes!

Well, Neville,

Don't you?

Where have you been?

Mr Ainslie has called twice.

I've been looking

I had to sort out an argument

I went in the kitchen. I didn't see

Maybe.

Charlie, who were those men

Some friends.

They didn't look very friendly.

Charlie, you know,

something that might compromise me

no matter how close I was

I would have to put the hotel first.

I know you would.

Listen, about dinner tonight...

Are you thinking that...

..maybe we're being

hasty?

So are we saying that we're gonna do

I guess I am, yeah.

Well, I've got a meeting to go to.

Take care of yourself, Charlie.

Did you get it?

Thank you, mate.

Thank you.

SIRENS

Got a warrant

A little bit of money

You don't have to do that.

Take it.

Just promise me

Trust me.

I've learned my lesson.

I'm never gonna get involved in

So I guess this is

I guess it is.

It's disgusting.

Oh!

Come in.

Here it is.

One case of Petrus '82,

That's wonderful, James, well done.

I can't take all the credit.

Ben was there, cheering me on.

You all right?

If you don't mind me saying so,

No, I'm fine, I just...
