00:12:45,932 --> 00:12:48,640
I don't think anyone understood him.
179
00:12:49,894 --> 00:12:51,010
Especially Mum.
180
00:12:51,396 --> 00:12:53,183
Gipsy's Acre...
181
00:12:53,898 --> 00:12:56,356
- Do you have any photograph?
- No.
182
00:12:56,484 --> 00:12:57,484
Send me some.
183
00:12:58,111 --> 00:13:01,980
For you, I could build a house
even more than Mr Constantine.
184
00:13:02,198 --> 00:13:03,234
Hmm!
185
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:05,574
If I ever have the money.
186
00:13:05,743 --> 00:13:07,359
And if I have the time left.
187
00:13:07,495 --> 00:13:09,908
Oh, it'll be a long wait, all right,
if that's what you mean.
188
00:13:09,998 --> 00:13:12,615
No, I was thinking myself.
You see, er...
189
00:13:13,084 --> 00:13:16,748
I can't count on more than
another three or four years.
190
00:13:17,088 --> 00:13:21,207
It has something to do with the wrong
number of corpuscles of the right colour,
191
00:13:21,301 --> 00:13:24,339
or the other way round,
I can never remember that.
192
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:26,383
Well, anyway...
193
00:13:27,473 --> 00:13:29,465
it was nice to have met you.
194
00:13:30,351 --> 00:13:31,558
And you.
195
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:34,102
Send me some photographs, anyway.
196
00:13:34,814 --> 00:13:37,477
It might be fun to play
around with them.
197
00:13:37,900 --> 00:13:38,900
Okay.

AMERICAN MAN: It may have been
culture to you, honey,
199
00:13:41,112 --> 00:13:43,104
but it was plain crap
to me!
200
00:13:43,197 --> 00:13:44,383
For Christ's sake,
last week in England,
201
00:13:44,407 --> 00:13:47,400
do you know what those seats
at Stratford-on-Avon cost?!
202
00:13:47,493 --> 00:13:48,779
Twenty-five dollars!
203
00:13:48,911 --> 00:13:51,324
Just to hear a mean-lookin'
fairy in a jock strap
204
00:13:51,414 --> 00:13:54,998
explaining how he couldn't get around
to making a simple basic decision!
205
00:13:56,169 --> 00:13:57,563
Well, I guess we don't need Michael
206
00:13:57,587 --> 00:13:59,307
until it's time to
pick us up for the opera.
207
00:13:59,339 --> 00:14:00,671
No, I guess not.
208
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:05,342
Say kid, do you know the
red light district around here?
209
00:14:05,470 --> 00:14:07,086
The dames in the windows?
210
00:14:07,221 --> 00:14:08,221
Yes, sir.
211
00:14:08,306 --> 00:14:10,298
Well, stick around
after the opera tonight.
212
00:14:10,892 --> 00:14:12,383
I just might treat you to one.
213
00:14:12,518 --> 00:14:16,387
See if we can, er... work off
some of this culture, huh?
214
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:19,849
Er... meanwhile, like we were saying,
your time's your own.
215
00:14:19,942 --> 00:14:22,901
Thank you. Thought I might
spend it at the Rijksmuseum,
216
00:14:22,987 --> 00:14:24,569
looking at the Rembrandts.
217
00:14:25,073 --> 00:14:26,439
Jesus Christ!
218
00:14:26,741 --> 00:14:28,152
He painted him too, sir.
219
00:14:28,242 --> 00:14:29,653
Several times.
220
00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:31,656
Excuse me.
221

MIKE'S VOICE:
Those faces.
222
00:15:07,365 --> 00:15:09,152
So strong.
223
00:15:09,283 --> 00:15:11,696
So sure of
their own respectability.
224
00:15:14,163 --> 00:15:16,997
They seem to be quietly sizing
me up,
225
00:15:17,291 --> 00:15:19,032
and finding me wanting.

What are you talking about?
228
00:15:47,655 --> 00:15:49,133
If we're having to get back
all the way from London...
229
00:15:49,157 --> 00:15:50,568
The car's just over there, sir.
230
00:15:50,741 --> 00:15:52,094
Where the hell have
you been all evening?
231
00:15:52,118 --> 00:15:53,345
You were supposed to
pick us up at the hotel.
232
00:15:53,369 --> 00:15:55,782
Well I'm sorry, sir,
but I got held up,
233
00:15:55,913 --> 00:15:57,495
just missed you,
so I came on here.
234
00:15:57,582 --> 00:16:00,290
We waited around for you
until eight-thirty!
235
00:16:00,376 --> 00:16:01,992
We were late for the goddamn opera!
236
00:16:02,128 --> 00:16:03,744
That must have upset you awfully, sir.
237
00:16:03,838 --> 00:16:05,875
You go ahead, honey.
I'll take care of this.
238
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:08,002
What the hell were you doing,
godamnit?!
239
00:16:08,092 --> 00:16:09,299
I said I was sorry, sir.
240
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:11,029
You gonna stick around
afterwards and, er...
241
00:16:11,053 --> 00:16:12,169
take me where I said, huh?
242
00:16:12,263 --> 00:16:13,845
I don't think so, sir.
243
00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:15,346
Why not?
244
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:17,973

very carefully, and...

Yes, sir.

to visit my old mum?

I'm all right. I've got plans.

Plans! What plans?
266
00:17:05,608 --> 00:17:10,478
If the wish can be willed,
then perhaps the means will follow.

Something's happened.

I went down to Gipsy's Acre again,

00:18:41,996 --> 00:18:44,534
I saw you. You got in my picture.

You must think I'm
raving mad or something.

00:18:52,673 --> 00:18:55,461
I mean, I don't usually
dance all by myself.
287
00:18:55,551 --> 00:18:57,713
I got a little carried away, I guess.

- Do you live around here?
- No. Wish I did.

00:19:08,606 --> 00:19:11,349
- American, aren't you?
- How did you guess?
292
00:19:12,443 --> 00:19:14,150
Well, what made you come up here?
293
00:19:14,236 --> 00:19:15,522
You can't see from the road.
294
00:19:15,655 --> 00:19:18,523
I drove down to visit an
antique shop in Market Chadwell.
295

Oh yes, I know it.
296
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:23,034
And I'd heard it was
beautiful up here, so I came.
297
00:19:23,162 --> 00:19:24,494
I'm glad I did.
298
00:19:25,247 --> 00:19:27,580
I mean, it really is very beautiful.
299
00:19:29,126 --> 00:19:30,958
You didn't really take
any of me, did you?
300
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:32,328
Ah, that'd be telling.

00:19:36,217 --> 00:19:39,585

to send to an architect friend.

like this from the road,

00:20:31,105 --> 00:20:32,641
all the way to the house.

of rhododendrons and azaleas.

- Staying over for long?
- Only a few days.

Trespassers will be prosecuted.
355
00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:27,586
This land's for sale.
356
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:30,680
There'll be no joy in it
for the buyer.
357
00:22:31,141 --> 00:22:32,803
What are you talking about?
358
00:22:32,893 --> 00:22:35,010
We can none of us escape
from the past.
359
00:22:35,813 --> 00:22:38,180
It was a very long time ago,
of course.
360
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:40,060
What was?
361
00:22:40,150 --> 00:22:43,439
They brought in a verdict
of natural causes.
362
00:22:43,529 --> 00:22:48,445
But what happened afterwards
to the Townsends here...
363
00:22:48,534 --> 00:22:50,742
was felt to be a judgement.
364
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:53,908
Little more than a year, and then...
365
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:55,697
only one left.
366
00:22:57,835 --> 00:22:59,622
Is she with you?
367
00:23:01,005 --> 00:23:02,792
Get away from this place, girl.
368
00:23:03,257 --> 00:23:06,216
Go now, before the harm's done.
369
00:23:07,094 --> 00:23:09,336
I'm tuned in, you see.
370
00:23:09,430 --> 00:23:11,467
I can pick up the signals.
371
00:23:11,974 --> 00:23:15,558
My gift is widely acknowledged
in Market Chadwell.

Who are you?
374
00:23:21,275 --> 00:23:23,892
My name is Townsend.
375
00:23:24,987 --> 00:23:27,354
I am the one that was left.
376
00:23:31,327 --> 00:23:32,818
Nutcase.

for visiting Americans.

Come on.
381
00:23:57,353 --> 00:23:58,353
Well...
382
00:23:58,812 --> 00:23:59,812
goodbye.
383
00:24:03,275 --> 00:24:05,107
I hope you get your house one day.
384
00:24:07,905 --> 00:24:10,864
Do you know something?
I don't even know your name.
385
00:24:11,075 --> 00:24:13,283
Oh, Mike. Mike Rogers.
386
00:24:13,577 --> 00:24:14,818
Mike.
387
00:24:14,912 --> 00:24:18,030
And I'm Ellie. Ellie Thompson.

00:24:20,125 --> 00:24:23,243
- Well, goodbye, Ellie.
- Bye.

00:24:27,216 --> 00:24:28,707
Ellie?
390
00:24:29,426 --> 00:24:33,545
Look, couldn't we have tea together
at the Crown in Market Chadwell?
391
00:24:34,056 --> 00:24:35,467
It's an incredibly old pub.
392

(LAUGHING)

00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:41,720
I'd like that very much.
395
00:24:41,814 --> 00:24:43,680
But I'd have to
make a phone call first.
396
00:24:43,774 --> 00:24:44,774
Okay.
397
00:24:46,860 --> 00:24:48,852
Townsend?
(CHUCKLING)
398
00:24:48,946 --> 00:24:51,279
I knew the old lady
when I was a youngster.
399
00:24:51,365 --> 00:24:54,073
Oh, it's true that people talked
when the old Captain's wife died,
400
00:24:54,159 --> 00:24:58,028
and the family was wiped out
a little later in the fire, but, er...
401
00:24:58,247 --> 00:25:01,331
she's no more a Townsend than I am.
402
00:25:01,458 --> 00:25:04,667
She kids herself that the old Captain
was sweet on her Ma,
403
00:25:04,753 --> 00:25:06,335
and she's the result. But, er...
404
00:25:06,422 --> 00:25:07,816
between you and me
and the gatepost,
405
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,253
she's the spitting image
of her real dad.
406
00:25:10,384 --> 00:25:12,046
- The gamekeeper.
- Hmm.
407
00:25:13,971 --> 00:25:17,089
And now, she lives up there in
one of Doctor Philpott's cottages,
408
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:19,845
and pops along once a fortnight
to the spiritualists,
409
00:25:19,935 --> 00:25:21,927
to contact her dad.
410
00:25:22,396 --> 00:25:25,013
Awkward if they both came through
wouldn't it?
411
00:25:25,107 --> 00:25:28,851
Still, she does sometimes hit
the odd nail on the head, you know?
412
00:25:28,944 --> 00:25:30,276
But then, er...
413
00:25:30,362 --> 00:25:33,400
I backed a winner meself last week,
so what does that prove?
414
00:25:33,490 --> 00:25:36,107
- Tea and toast, was it, sir?
- Please.
415
00:25:37,870 --> 00:25:39,361
Okay.
416
00:25:42,875 --> 00:25:44,867
- There you are.
- Thanks.
417
00:25:47,838 --> 00:25:49,955
Who were you phoning?
Your parents?
418
00:25:50,132 --> 00:25:51,464
Haven't any.
419
00:25:51,842 --> 00:25:52,842
Oh, I'm sorry.
420
00:25:52,926 --> 00:25:54,133
That's all right.
421
00:25:54,219 --> 00:25:58,304
That's more than made up for
by uncles, aunts, cousins,
422
00:25:58,557 --> 00:26:00,970
and, believe it or not,
a stepmother.
423
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:03,017
- Like Cinderella?
- Right!
424
00:26:03,604 --> 00:26:05,220
Only in reverse.
425
00:26:06,690 --> 00:26:09,182
They watch over me as if
I were a baby or something.
426
00:26:09,443 --> 00:26:10,524
If hadn't been for Greta,
427
00:26:10,652 --> 00:26:13,144
I wouldn't even have been
able to get out this time.
428
00:26:13,238 --> 00:26:14,900
Now, who's Greta?
Your stepmother?
429
00:26:15,157 --> 00:26:17,149
No, that's Cora.
430
00:26:17,659 --> 00:26:20,117
Greta was hired to
teach me German, but...
431
00:26:20,329 --> 00:26:23,367
well, she stayed on, and we
sort of became best friends.
432
00:26:23,457 --> 00:26:24,914
That was Greta I just called.
433
00:26:25,167 --> 00:26:26,578
She's great.
434
00:26:26,668 --> 00:26:29,285
She understands exactly how
I feel about everything.
435
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:32,998
I don't go for cold, calculating
Krauts, myself.
436
00:26:33,133 --> 00:26:35,045
Oh, Greta isn't cold,
437
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:37,502
and she isn't the slightest
bit calculating.
438
00:26:37,721 --> 00:26:39,929
I prefer them small and elfin,
439
00:26:40,057 --> 00:26:43,471
the kind that do funny little dances
when they think nobody's looking.
440
00:26:45,729 --> 00:26:47,220
Tea and toast, all right?
441
00:26:47,731 --> 00:26:49,723
Oh, haven't they any muffins?
442
00:26:49,858 --> 00:26:50,974
I've never tried one.
443
00:26:51,318 --> 00:26:53,901
- Muffins is out of season, miss.
- Oh.
444
00:26:53,987 --> 00:26:56,604
Then we'll come back when
there's an 'R' in the month.
445
00:26:56,698 --> 00:26:59,441
- That's a definite order.
- Yes, sir.
446
00:27:02,162 --> 00:27:05,280
- Now, milk?
- Mmm, yes, please.
447
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:07,532
Sugar?
448
00:27:09,086 --> 00:27:11,043
ELLIE:
Really gotta go now.
449
00:27:11,547 --> 00:27:12,628
Ellie?
450
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:15,506
Did you say you were
going back to London?
451
00:27:15,592 --> 00:27:16,878
- That's right.
- Know the road?
452
00:27:16,969 --> 00:27:18,210
- Yes
- Pity.
453
00:27:18,303 --> 00:27:19,669
- Why?
- I was going to offer
454
00:27:19,763 --> 00:27:21,675
- to show you the way.
- Oh!
455
00:27:21,849 --> 00:27:24,637
Well, actually, I have got a
terrible sense of direction.
456
00:27:24,768 --> 00:27:26,760
Good. Come on, then.
457
00:27:44,830 --> 00:27:46,116
I turn off here.
458
00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:47,864
Goodbye, Mike.
459
00:27:48,083 --> 00:27:49,824
- Oh look, if you like, I can...
- No.
460
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,418
No, it's all right. I really
can find my way from here.
461
00:28:02,764 --> 00:28:06,053
Look, I don't suppose there's any
chance of seeing you again?
462
00:28:06,518 --> 00:28:07,884
I don't know.
463
00:28:08,979 --> 00:28:11,562
That's just the trouble,
I never seem to know.
464
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:14,604
I said I might call back again
in two or three weeks,
465
00:28:14,651 --> 00:28:16,984
at that antique place
at Market Chadwell.
466
00:28:18,071 --> 00:28:19,312
Yes!
467
00:28:20,073 --> 00:28:22,190
Mike, let's meet at Gipsy's Acre.
468
00:28:22,284 --> 00:28:23,365
I'd like that.
469
00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:25,489
- On the eighth.
- What time?
470
00:28:25,579 --> 00:28:26,945
Three o'clock, sharp!
471
00:28:27,206 --> 00:28:29,038
And afterwards we'll have
muffins at the Crown
472
00:28:29,124 --> 00:28:31,161
because there's an 'R' in next month.
473
00:28:31,668 --> 00:28:34,001
That's a definite order, Mike.
474
00:28:36,465 --> 00:28:38,172
I'll write.
475
00:28:44,514 --> 00:28:47,097
And don't forget my
Green Shield stamps!
476
00:29:49,121 --> 00:29:50,157
'Scuse me, sir.
477
00:29:50,247 --> 00:29:51,863
Are you Mr Rogers?
478
00:29:51,957 --> 00:29:54,324
- Yes.
- A telephone call for you.
479
00:29:55,711 --> 00:29:56,872
Thank you!
480
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:04,171
Hello?
481
00:30:04,261 --> 00:30:06,002
- Michael?
- Ellie!
482
00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:09,222
I'm sorry, I just couldn't
get over in time.
483
00:30:09,308 --> 00:30:11,675
- Ellie, where are you?
- Rome.
484
00:30:11,768 --> 00:30:15,011
I really am sorry, I was looking
forward to it so much.
485
00:30:15,147 --> 00:30:16,147
So was I.
486
00:30:16,231 --> 00:30:18,314
- But it's all right now you've phoned.
- Listen.
487
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:21,313
Greta and I have managed to
persuade Cora and Uncle Frank.
488
00:30:21,445 --> 00:30:23,232
We're gonna have my
party in London.
489
00:30:23,322 --> 00:30:26,315
- What party?
- Oh, some silly party. On Friday.
490
00:30:26,491 --> 00:30:28,323
So best if I don't see
you till the next day.
491
00:30:28,535 --> 00:30:30,527
- Why?
- You don't mind, do you?
492
00:30:30,912 --> 00:30:34,371
Because, Mike, something
really exciting's happened.
493
00:30:34,583 --> 00:30:35,869
I'll tell you when we meet.
494
00:30:36,293 --> 00:30:37,625
Okay, when?
495
00:30:37,711 --> 00:30:39,311
Well, what's wrong with
Saturday morning?
496
00:30:39,379 --> 00:30:40,915
- Ten-thirty.
- Ten-thirty, where?
497
00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:42,626
Where?
498
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:45,216
On the embankment
by the Festival Hall.
499
00:30:45,302 --> 00:30:46,964
I think even I can find that!
500
00:31:04,029 --> 00:31:05,110
Mike!
501
00:31:06,156 --> 00:31:07,192
Mike!
502
00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:12,703
Mike!
503
00:31:14,206 --> 00:31:15,538
Mike, it's me!
504
00:31:16,458 --> 00:31:18,290
Mike, I'm sorry I'm late.
505
00:31:18,377 --> 00:31:19,913
What's the matter?
506
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,848
I'm sorry, Mike!
507
00:31:35,352 --> 00:31:36,888
Couldn't have told me, could you?
508
00:31:36,978 --> 00:31:40,562
Might have made it too easy for me.
Stop me getting stupid ideas.
509
00:31:40,649 --> 00:31:42,293
You just don't know what
what it's been like!
510
00:31:42,317 --> 00:31:45,025
- Being the sixth richest girl?
- Well, that's not my fault.
511
00:31:45,112 --> 00:31:46,398
Anyway, it's not true.
512
00:31:46,488 --> 00:31:47,729
Much more like the sixteenth.
513
00:31:47,864 --> 00:31:50,447
Oh, makes a fat lot of difference
once you're in that league!
514
00:31:50,534 --> 00:31:52,776
No wonder you didn't
ask me to the party.
515
00:31:52,869 --> 00:31:55,236
Oh, I just couldn't face
being cross-examined.
516
00:31:55,330 --> 00:31:58,573
They've screened and checked every
single man I've ever wanted to date.
517
00:31:58,708 --> 00:32:01,291
It's like I told you.
Cinderella in reverse.
518
00:32:02,045 --> 00:32:05,709
Until an out-of-work
rental car driver came along.
519
00:32:05,799 --> 00:32:08,416
- Prince Charming in reverse.
- Oh, Mike!
520
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:12,094
Fenella Thomsen isn't the same
as Ellie Thompson. Not for me!
521
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:15,468
Well, goodbye, Ellie,
before I find myself saying
522
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,058
"I have my pride, you know!"
523
00:32:34,327 --> 00:32:37,320
Look, I have my pride too,
you know.
524
00:32:37,414 --> 00:32:39,701
Only I don't believe in
standing on it.
525
00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:43,163
- You're crying.
- I am not!
526
00:32:43,378 --> 00:32:44,539
It's an allergy.
527
00:32:45,046 --> 00:32:47,413
I'm allergic to pollen,
and horses, and cats,
528
00:32:47,507 --> 00:32:48,918
and some men.
529
00:32:49,134 --> 00:32:51,501
Especially proud, stupid men,
530
00:32:52,179 --> 00:32:55,468
who haven't even got the sense to
order me a glass of water or something
531
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:57,090
so I can take my medicine!
532
00:32:59,853 --> 00:33:04,063
And who haven't even got the sense
to realise I'm in love with them.
533
00:33:04,774 --> 00:33:08,484
Oh, that is the worst coffee
I've ever had in my life!
534
00:33:11,823 --> 00:33:13,485
There's no future in it, Ellie.
535
00:33:15,744 --> 00:33:17,201
Maybe not,
536
00:33:18,121 --> 00:33:20,613
but we'd neither of us ever
stop thinking about it.
537
00:33:21,541 --> 00:33:22,702
It was different then.
538
00:33:22,792 --> 00:33:25,125
It's different now!
539
00:33:25,378 --> 00:33:27,540
That's what the party was all about.
540
00:33:27,756 --> 00:33:29,622
I'm old enough to do anything I want.
541
00:33:30,383 --> 00:33:31,544
Anything.
542
00:33:33,261 --> 00:33:34,422
Mike...
543
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:36,678
I went to see your friend, Santonix.
544
00:33:38,266 --> 00:33:39,802
Greta and I went from Rome.
545
00:33:39,935 --> 00:33:42,769
You're right, he's a wonderful person,
546
00:33:42,854 --> 00:33:45,096
and he'll build you a wonderful house!
547
00:33:45,524 --> 00:33:46,935
Yes, well, we can forget it,
548
00:33:47,025 --> 00:33:49,483
because I heard this morning
that Gipsy's Acre's gone.
549
00:33:49,569 --> 00:33:50,810
Someone's bought it.
550
00:33:51,947 --> 00:33:52,983
Mmm.
551
00:33:53,073 --> 00:33:54,689
I know.
552
00:33:55,492 --> 00:33:56,653
I have!
553
00:34:04,125 --> 00:34:05,491
Thank you.
554
00:34:06,336 --> 00:34:08,202
Thank you very much!
555
00:34:12,842 --> 00:34:16,006
Please don't go, Mike.
Please, please!
556
00:34:16,596 --> 00:34:17,882
You see...
557
00:34:18,139 --> 00:34:20,552
I never met anyone like you before.
558
00:34:21,142 --> 00:34:22,303
Never.

561
00:34:41,246 --> 00:34:43,408
MIKE: That was where
our life together began,
562
00:34:43,498 --> 00:34:45,990
in that tiny township in
the Welsh mountains,
563
00:34:46,793 --> 00:34:48,329
where the only
newspapermen around
564
00:34:48,420 --> 00:34:50,707
were there to cover
the sheepdog trials.
565
00:34:51,256 --> 00:34:53,293
And English was only
the second language.
566
00:34:53,383 --> 00:34:56,592
(MEN SPEAKING WELSH)
567
00:35:03,018 --> 00:35:09,390
(FOOTSTEPS CRUNCHING ON GRAVEL)
568
00:35:15,447 --> 00:35:17,484
MIKE:
"Dear Mum,
569
00:35:17,616 --> 00:35:22,657
"Sorry to let you know after the event,
but I got married last week.
570
00:35:22,746 --> 00:35:27,116
"She's lovely and sweet, and I'm afraid
she has an awful lot of money.
571
00:35:27,208 --> 00:35:29,541
"Honeymooning on the continent.
572
00:35:29,628 --> 00:35:32,086
"Love, Mike."
573
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:37,924
SANTONIX:
Why keep a house in, so to speak?
574
00:35:38,011 --> 00:35:40,924
Why not make it
a part of the landscape?
575
00:35:41,014 --> 00:35:43,973
To be joined with it,
whenever you like.
576
00:35:44,059 --> 00:35:46,722
You arrived at the same
idea by instinct, Mike.
577
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:48,677
- Can I see inside?
- No, please, please...
578
00:35:48,855 --> 00:35:50,642
Not until I show you
the finished house.
579
00:35:50,732 --> 00:35:52,894
You must leave me
something up my sleeve.
580
00:35:53,068 --> 00:35:55,435
How long before we
can live in it?
581
00:35:55,528 --> 00:35:58,646
It has to be very soon, darling Ellie.
If only because...
582
00:35:58,740 --> 00:36:01,198
personally, I'm very
short of time.
583
00:36:01,326 --> 00:36:03,409
MAN:
Gelati!
584
00:36:03,495 --> 00:36:05,953
The ice-cream man cometh.
585
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:09,032
Now, that's your turn now, Mike.
586
00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:12,752
MAN:
Gelati!
587
00:36:15,882 --> 00:36:18,841
What happens when
the family finds out?
588
00:36:19,219 --> 00:36:21,677
They think I'm touring
Scotland with Greta.
589
00:36:22,555 --> 00:36:24,547
They'll blame her, as usual,
590
00:36:24,641 --> 00:36:28,100
and they'll do anything they
can to break Mike and me up.
591
00:36:28,186 --> 00:36:29,768
What can they do?
592
00:36:30,063 --> 00:36:32,100
ELLIE:
Try and buy Mike off.
593
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:35,183
Like Gina Barretti's parents
did with her first.
594
00:36:35,276 --> 00:36:36,962
SANTONIX: Gina...
wasn't that the girl who married
595
00:36:36,986 --> 00:36:39,399
- a lifeguard from Miami Beach?
- Mmm.
596
00:36:39,489 --> 00:36:43,028
And he got half a million
dollars to divorce her quietly.
597
00:36:43,118 --> 00:36:44,404
Isn't that marvellous?
598
00:36:44,494 --> 00:36:46,656
I've not only collected
a lovely little wife,
599
00:36:46,746 --> 00:36:50,080
but I can trade her in for
solid cash any time I want.
600
00:36:52,627 --> 00:36:55,210
Thank you, Miss Thomsen,
that was great!
601
00:36:55,338 --> 00:36:57,830
ELLIE:
The honeymoon's over, darling.
602
00:36:57,924 --> 00:37:00,792
Time to pack our bags,
and face the family.
603
00:37:00,885 --> 00:37:04,970
Michael, I'd like you to meet my
stepmother, Cora Walker-Brown.
604
00:37:05,056 --> 00:37:06,547
How do you do, Mr Rogers?
605
00:37:06,641 --> 00:37:08,974
- MIKE: How do you do?
- ELLIE: Her husband, Reuben.
606
00:37:09,853 --> 00:37:11,185
Hello, there.
607
00:37:11,771 --> 00:37:14,263
ELLIE:
Aunt Beth, and Uncle Frank.
608
00:37:14,357 --> 00:37:16,440
Well, sir, I feel
called upon to remark
609
00:37:16,526 --> 00:37:19,269
that the news conveyed
to us so belatedly constituted...
610
00:37:19,362 --> 00:37:21,479
We were shocked!
611
00:37:22,031 --> 00:37:26,742
ELLIE: And Mr Lippincott.
Dear Uncle Andrew.
612
00:37:28,371 --> 00:37:30,454
Of course, he's not
really my uncle.
613
00:37:30,540 --> 00:37:33,328
I am that figure of fiction,
the family lawyer.
614
00:37:33,460 --> 00:37:35,668
- How are you, Michael?
- How do you do, sir?
615
00:37:35,795 --> 00:37:38,663
Gretna Green seems to be
the only element missing.
616
00:37:38,798 --> 00:37:41,757
- We were never even informed.
- Thanks to Greta.
617
00:37:41,843 --> 00:37:44,256
ELLIE:
Why blame her? I married him.
618
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:47,551
ANDREW: Well, I must say that,
between the two of you, and Greta,
619
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,348
you've certainly practised
a great deal of deception.
620
00:37:50,435 --> 00:37:52,677
I think I'd better have a talk
with Michael alone.
621
00:37:52,812 --> 00:37:55,600
Good idea. Um... why don't
we all adjourn to the bar?
622
00:37:55,690 --> 00:37:59,183
Well, if you think things will look better
through the bottom of a glass.
623
00:37:59,277 --> 00:38:01,815
Might make us
feel better, though.
624
00:38:10,121 --> 00:38:12,204
- Don't I get one?
- ELLIE: Of course.
625
00:38:17,754 --> 00:38:20,292
Um, you've probably
guessed that, er...
626
00:38:20,381 --> 00:38:22,839
I have something to convey to you.
627
00:38:22,926 --> 00:38:24,508
Oh, yes, sir?
628
00:38:24,636 --> 00:38:27,674
If only I knew just how to convey it.
629
00:38:27,764 --> 00:38:29,926
- In two little words.
- Oh?
630
00:38:30,016 --> 00:38:31,348
"How much?"
631
00:38:31,518 --> 00:38:37,264
Bearing in mind that Gina Barretti's
first collected five hundred grand.
632
00:38:37,357 --> 00:38:40,100
- I see you've done your homework.
- Certainly.
633
00:38:41,110 --> 00:38:44,649
However, as the nearest I got
to being a Miami lifeguard
634
00:38:44,739 --> 00:38:47,732
was dishing out the deckchairs
at Littlehampton-on-Sea,
635
00:38:47,826 --> 00:38:49,863
one August bank holiday,
636
00:38:50,078 --> 00:38:53,242
you might consider offering me...
637
00:38:53,331 --> 00:38:55,163
only half that.
638
00:38:55,250 --> 00:38:57,162
Such a figure had crossed my mind.
639
00:38:57,377 --> 00:38:59,369
Well, it crossed it in vain, sir.
640
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:03,539
Er... just out of curiosity,
no obligation on either side...
641
00:39:03,675 --> 00:39:05,541
how much?
642
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:09,470
A quiet divorce with no scandal,
what do you say?
643
00:39:09,973 --> 00:39:14,388
I might settle for the state of Texas
as a first instalment.
644
00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:17,683
Haven't you ever heard of two
people falling in love, sir?
645
00:39:18,523 --> 00:39:21,687
(CHUCKLING)
Not only have I heard of it, my boy,
646
00:39:21,776 --> 00:39:24,314
but, one way or another,
I make half my income out of it.
647
00:39:24,404 --> 00:39:25,940
I see that you have a sense of humour.
648
00:39:26,072 --> 00:39:28,672
Which, as a member of this family,
you're certainly going to need.
649
00:39:29,409 --> 00:39:31,947
ANDREW: Greta.
What do you know about Greta?
650
00:39:32,245 --> 00:39:35,738
- Well, only what Ellie's told me.
- You've never met her?
651
00:39:35,915 --> 00:39:39,955
No. I would have,
if Ellie had had her way.
652
00:39:40,086 --> 00:39:42,703
Greta would have organised the
wedding and the honeymoon.
653
00:39:42,797 --> 00:39:45,505
- But I put my foot down there.
- Good.
654
00:39:45,633 --> 00:39:48,626
Did you know Greta had been
dismissed by the family?
655
00:39:48,761 --> 00:39:52,095
No. But, to be honest,
I can't say I'm sorry.
656
00:39:52,265 --> 00:39:54,507
Do you mind some advice, then?
657
00:39:54,642 --> 00:39:57,726
Don't let Greta attach herself
to you and Ellie.
658
00:39:57,812 --> 00:40:00,771
Well couldn't Ellie
pension her off, or something?
659
00:40:00,857 --> 00:40:02,769
Greta's a little young to
be pensioned off.
660
00:40:02,901 --> 00:40:06,440
And awfully attractive, even to
a desiccated old poop like me.
661
00:40:06,529 --> 00:40:09,192
Then she ought to find it
easy enough to get another job.
662
00:40:09,282 --> 00:40:12,525
With the sort of references that
she'll get from this family?!
663
00:40:12,619 --> 00:40:16,408
Of course, I suppose that
Ellie could show her gratitude
664
00:40:16,497 --> 00:40:19,365
by settling a sum on Greta.
665
00:40:19,542 --> 00:40:21,955
That would get her out
of everyone's hair.
666
00:40:22,045 --> 00:40:25,038
I'll have a talk to Ellie
when we get back.
667
00:40:27,550 --> 00:40:31,214
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
668
00:40:35,642 --> 00:40:38,726
ELLIE:...if you can do it without
hurting Greta's feelings.
669
00:40:38,853 --> 00:40:41,971
But, Uncle Andrew, you haven't
said a word about Mike.
670
00:40:42,065 --> 00:40:45,183
He's great, isn't he?
Really special.
671
00:40:45,276 --> 00:40:47,893
ANDREW: He's an extremely
attractive personality, and I can see
672
00:40:48,071 --> 00:40:49,715
- exactly why you married him.
- (KNOCKING)
673
00:40:49,739 --> 00:40:52,106
- ELLIE: If you can do it...
- (DOOR OPENING)
674
00:40:57,163 --> 00:40:59,075
Managed to slip away.
675
00:40:59,207 --> 00:41:01,870
So far, no-one's changed
the subject once.
676
00:41:02,001 --> 00:41:04,960
Anyway, I've no hard feelings.
677
00:41:05,088 --> 00:41:08,502
- Why should you have?
- Why indeed?
678
00:41:08,591 --> 00:41:12,380
After all, we're both in the
same boat, more or less.
679
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:15,178
You more, and me less, unfortunately.
680
00:41:15,264 --> 00:41:18,223
- Oh, do you mind?
- How do you mean?
681
00:41:18,434 --> 00:41:20,892
Well, I married the thin end
of the family trust.
682
00:41:20,979 --> 00:41:22,936
And while Ellie's around,
it stays thin.
683
00:41:23,022 --> 00:41:25,230
Mark you, I'm not complaining.
684
00:41:26,317 --> 00:41:30,436
Oh, by the way, now that we're
members of the same family,
685
00:41:30,530 --> 00:41:33,614
you wouldn't happen to have a
spare tenner about you, would you?
686
00:41:33,741 --> 00:41:35,886
It's just that I've got this
awfully good thing for Ascot,
687
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:38,027
and it's too late to
go to a bank.
688
00:41:43,793 --> 00:41:45,125
Thanks, old man.
689
00:41:45,753 --> 00:41:48,336
Yes, well, I'd better get
back to the demo.
690
00:41:48,423 --> 00:41:51,541
ANDREW: Tell them that I'm
expecting them up here to dine tonight.
691
00:41:51,968 --> 00:41:53,630
What, all of them?
692
00:41:53,720 --> 00:41:55,507
ANDREW:
All of them.
693
00:41:57,807 --> 00:42:00,800
I told you you were going to

00:51:37,261 --> 00:51:39,674
- And if I can be of any help...
- Thank you.

00:51:39,805 --> 00:51:42,889
- Thank you again for the lovely...
- Very nice to have met you.
874
00:51:43,017 --> 00:51:45,100
- Goodbye
- Nice to have met you.
875
00:51:49,857 --> 00:51:53,316
When you've settled in, I'll organise a
party for you to meet the neighbours.
876
00:51:53,402 --> 00:51:56,019
- Good.
- Goodbye!
877
00:51:57,197 --> 00:51:59,797
- Shall we go back there?
- Let's walk across that way, dear, yes.
878
00:52:03,829 --> 00:52:06,446
I won't let anybody drive us away!

and we're gonna stay in it!

Of course we are.

a challenge to fate,
882
00:52:17,343 --> 00:52:19,630
and, for a time,
it seemed to work.
883

You really shouldn't have, darling.
890
00:52:37,112 --> 00:52:39,195
I can't wait to see!
891
00:52:47,247 --> 00:52:52,663
Oh, isn't he beautiful!
Isn't he gorgeous!
892
00:52:53,045 --> 00:52:56,413
Oh, thank you, darling,
he's absolutely lovely!
893
00:52:56,507 --> 00:52:58,669
- Isn't he, Mike?
- Yes, very nice.
894
00:53:00,469 --> 00:53:02,005
Now, where shall we put him?
895
00:53:02,096 --> 00:53:03,507
Any ideas, darling?
896
00:53:03,597 --> 00:53:05,008
Several.
897
00:53:10,896 --> 00:53:13,263
How about over there?
898
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,023
Let's get this thing out of the way...

00:53:19,113 --> 00:53:20,729

Except, of course, that
that painting kills the cat.
904
00:53:32,167 --> 00:53:33,999
Don't you agree, Michael?
905
00:53:34,086 --> 00:53:35,748
Or the cat kills the painting.
906

Which, incidentally, I happen
to have found for Ellie!
907

Oh you can put it anywhere.
Put it in the study.
908

Ooh! Er... have you got
a pair of steps?
909

It was a hell of a strain
that weekend, Greta being there.
913

What'd the old lady
say to her, exactly?
920
00:55:07,387 --> 00:55:11,427
Yelled out something stupid about
seeing death riding at her shoulder.
921
00:55:11,517 --> 00:55:14,260
Never yells as a rule.
Not her usual style at all.

Oh, well, that's
hardly the point, is it?

Unless this time somebody's
paying her to do it.
924
00:55:18,524 --> 00:55:20,766
- Now why should anyone pay her?
- Dunno.

00:55:23,028 --> 00:55:25,465
You said something about
it's happened two or three times before.

00:55:25,489 --> 00:55:28,527
Yes, but I'd hardly have thought
Miss Townsend was the sort you could bribe.

it was put to her cleverly

probably resulting from shock.
1219
01:15:50,212 --> 01:15:53,572
- CORONER: Associated with her fall?
- DR SHAW: That is difficult to say for certain,
1220
01:15:53,632 --> 01:15:54,873
but it would be consistent...
1221
01:15:55,009 --> 01:15:57,237
PHARMACIST: The capsules she
was taking were standard antihistamine
1222
01:15:57,261 --> 01:16:00,720
without side-effects, and
could not have been responsible...
1223
01:16:00,806 --> 01:16:03,093
MIKE: I can't get it out
of my mind.
1224
01:16:03,267 --> 01:16:05,975
You see, Ellie would
have been with me
1225
01:16:06,062 --> 01:16:08,896
if I hadn't've planned a
surprise for her birthday.
1226
01:16:10,316 --> 01:16:11,852
Well, she looked...
1227
01:16:11,942 --> 01:16:16,733
well and happy before I left,
before I...
1228
01:16:17,698 --> 01:16:19,030
she...
1229
01:16:19,533 --> 01:16:20,533
sh...
1230
01:16:21,202 --> 01:16:22,943
Give Mr Rogers a glass of water.
1231
01:16:29,543 --> 01:16:32,502
Do, please, sit down and
wait a little, if you like.
1232
01:16:32,588 --> 01:16:35,547
No, no, no, I'm... I'm all right.
I'm all right, thank you.
1233
01:16:41,972 --> 01:16:43,759
She was alone, you see...
1234
01:16:43,849 --> 01:16:45,181
Ellie.
1235
01:16:45,351 --> 01:16:46,762
She...
1236
01:16:48,187 --> 01:16:49,803
El...
1237
01:16:49,897 --> 01:16:52,230
(SOBBING)
Ellie died alone.
1238
01:16:53,234 --> 01:16:54,645
Most distressing.
1239
01:16:55,569 --> 01:16:57,231
Thank you, Mr Rogers.
1240
01:17:00,449 --> 01:17:02,862
- MIKE: May I say something, sir?
- Certainly.
1241
01:17:04,578 --> 01:17:07,537
Well, I'm...
I'm not satisfied, sir.
1242
01:17:07,998 --> 01:17:09,239
CORONER:
Oh?
1243
01:17:09,375 --> 01:17:10,375
Why?
1244
01:17:11,252 --> 01:17:12,618
Well, things have happened.
1245
01:17:12,837 --> 01:17:15,671
Things have happened before,
the things I told you about.
1246
01:17:15,756 --> 01:17:16,837
She was...
1247
01:17:16,924 --> 01:17:19,792
she was well that morning.
She was per...
1248
01:17:20,511 --> 01:17:22,503
I'm... I'm just not satisfied, sir.
1249
01:17:23,097 --> 01:17:24,097
I see.
1250
01:17:24,098 --> 01:17:26,340
Thank you, Mr Rogers.
I can understand your distress.
1251
01:17:27,393 --> 01:17:29,760
Thank you, Mr Rogers.
1252
01:17:34,024 --> 01:17:35,890
Sergeant Keene.
1253
01:17:36,819 --> 01:17:39,152
Is Miss Townsend in court yet?
1254
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,818
- KEENE: No, sir.
- Well, why not?
1255
01:17:41,907 --> 01:17:45,196
These alleged threats and warnings
could be material.
1256
01:17:45,286 --> 01:17:46,948
She's not been at her home, sir,
1257
01:17:47,037 --> 01:17:50,030
nor seen anywhere since,
but we expect to locate her soon.
1258
01:17:50,124 --> 01:17:51,911
CORONER:
Well, I certainly hope so.
1259
01:17:53,169 --> 01:17:56,833
Well, everything points to death
being due to accidental causes,
1260
01:17:57,006 --> 01:17:59,874
with insufficient evidence
to show how it occurred.
1261
01:18:00,384 --> 01:18:03,001
In the circumstances, I suppose
I must adjourn this inquest
1262
01:18:03,095 --> 01:18:05,212
till Miss Townsend can be found.
1263
01:18:05,973 --> 01:18:08,681
I'm sure we all feel
the very deepest sympathy
1264
01:18:08,767 --> 01:18:11,510
for the bereaved young husband.
1265
01:18:14,190 --> 01:18:15,647
Michael?
1266
01:18:15,983 --> 01:18:17,519
Michael!
1267
01:18:18,319 --> 01:18:19,855
Going back to the house?
1268
01:18:19,945 --> 01:18:22,437
No. Greta's still there, clearing up.
1269
01:18:22,573 --> 01:18:25,987
The Philpotts are looking
after me for a while.
1270
01:18:26,076 --> 01:18:27,442
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
1271
01:18:27,536 --> 01:18:30,654
Er... do you mind if
I go ahead with Michael?
1272
01:18:32,666 --> 01:18:34,658
I'll see you later, Michael.
1273
01:18:34,752 --> 01:18:37,836
What did you mean, you
aren't really satisfied?
1274
01:18:38,964 --> 01:18:40,956
Oh, I wish I really knew.
1275
01:18:41,759 --> 01:18:43,045
You know something?
1276
01:18:43,135 --> 01:18:45,878
Reuben was out riding
near there that morning.
1277
01:18:45,971 --> 01:18:46,971
Reuben?
1278
01:18:47,056 --> 01:18:50,049
Well, he said something once about
Cora having the thin end of the trust,
1279
01:18:50,184 --> 01:18:52,346
and Ellie standing in the way.
1280
01:18:52,770 --> 01:18:54,853
Reuben has never been known
to get anything right.
1281
01:18:54,939 --> 01:18:56,646
Horses, women, or facts.
1282
01:18:56,732 --> 01:18:59,349
His incompetence borders
on the supernatural.
1283
01:18:59,443 --> 01:19:02,902
Besides, Ellie wasn't in
Cora's way anymore. You were.
1284
01:19:03,364 --> 01:19:04,364
Me?
1285
01:19:04,615 --> 01:19:06,823
I'm afraid you'll have
to come to America.
1286
01:19:07,785 --> 01:19:08,785
What for?
1287
01:19:08,911 --> 01:19:10,994
To look after your
business interests.
1288
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:12,787
Oh, didn't you know?
1289
01:19:12,998 --> 01:19:15,285
Ellie altered her will
soon after she got married.
1290
01:19:15,417 --> 01:19:18,501
She did it in London, and, I regret
to say, without consulting me.
1291
01:19:18,587 --> 01:19:20,670
You are the principal beneficiary.
1292
01:19:21,173 --> 01:19:23,790
But I'd no idea... I...
1293
01:19:24,927 --> 01:19:26,543
I didn't even know
she'd made a will.
1294
01:19:26,637 --> 01:19:30,176
Oh, yes. And the ramifications
of the estate are enormous.
1295
01:19:30,391 --> 01:19:33,475
Without expert advice,
you'll be thoroughly confused.
1296
01:19:33,602 --> 01:19:36,060
With it, you'll be even more confused.
1297
01:19:36,605 --> 01:19:39,018
There's another reason why
you should come to America.
1298
01:19:39,233 --> 01:19:42,146
Ellie's will called for
her to be buried there.
1299
01:19:42,236 --> 01:19:43,898
But she wouldn't want that!
1300
01:19:44,029 --> 01:19:45,486
Away from Gipsy's Acre?
1301
01:19:45,864 --> 01:19:48,197
I guess she didn't think
to alter that part.
1302
01:19:48,284 --> 01:19:51,994
You see, she wouldn't have
been expecting to die just yet.
1303
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:54,116
America?
1304
01:19:54,456 --> 01:19:57,870
Putting it into very simple
language, Mr Rogers,
1305
01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:01,249
fifteen percent of the holdings
in Transtex Transportation
1306
01:20:01,338 --> 01:20:04,831
are convertible
every five years until 1990
1307
01:20:04,967 --> 01:20:07,380
into Bifurcated Yellowstone
1308
01:20:07,469 --> 01:20:12,430
at prices escalating
from $28.20 to $36.60
1309
01:20:12,516 --> 01:20:13,927
per stock unit.
1310
01:20:14,727 --> 01:20:16,719
I feel called upon to remark
1311
01:20:16,812 --> 01:20:20,271
that, bearing in mind the recent
behaviour of the Dow Jones Index,
1312
01:20:20,399 --> 01:20:24,439
it might be wise to kiss
goodbye to Northwest Zinc...
1313
01:20:24,570 --> 01:20:27,688
And I say, with due humility,
1314
01:20:27,781 --> 01:20:31,445
that it was a rare privilege to
have known such an utterly lovable,
1315
01:20:31,535 --> 01:20:34,027
utterly warm,
utterly delightful,
1316
01:20:34,204 --> 01:20:36,696
and utterly outgiving personality.
1317
01:20:37,875 --> 01:20:40,162
And I feel called upon to remark
1318
01:20:40,294 --> 01:20:44,379
that, bearing in mind the recent
behaviour of the Dow Jones Index,
1319
01:20:44,465 --> 01:20:48,584
it might be wise to kiss
goodbye to Northwest Zinc,
1320
01:20:48,677 --> 01:20:51,294
and reinvest in a less
volatile enterprise.
1321
01:20:51,889 --> 01:20:54,973
For we brought nothing
into this world,
1322
01:20:55,100 --> 01:20:57,934
and it is certain we
can carry nothing out.
1323
01:20:59,646 --> 01:21:03,435
So why not invest the residue
in Consolidated Metallics?
1324
01:21:03,525 --> 01:21:06,563
A very, very sound
corporation indeed.
1325
01:21:07,488 --> 01:21:11,778
Remaining forever a fragrant
memory in our hearts.
1326
01:21:12,576 --> 01:21:13,908
Let us pray.
1327
01:21:14,578 --> 01:21:16,911
Ashes to ashes,
1328
01:21:17,206 --> 01:21:19,072

1329
01:21:19,166 --> 01:21:20,327
Sign here.
1330
01:21:20,459 --> 01:21:21,540
Sign there.
1331
01:21:21,627 --> 01:21:23,038
ANDREW:
Say when!
1332
01:21:25,506 --> 01:21:28,624
I said it would be confusing,
but that about clears it up.
1333
01:21:29,218 --> 01:21:31,175
What will you do
when you return home?
1334
01:21:31,261 --> 01:21:32,797
Where will you live?
1335
01:21:32,930 --> 01:21:34,842
Gipsy's Acre, of course.
1336
01:21:34,932 --> 01:21:37,470
Ellie wouldn't want me
to sell it. It was ours.
1337
01:21:37,893 --> 01:21:40,852
- Greta still looking after it?
- Well, till I get back.
1338
01:21:41,271 --> 01:21:43,558
Can I ask you something,
Mr Lippincott?
1339
01:21:43,649 --> 01:21:47,188
Somehow, I've never got around
to calling you "Uncle Andrew".
1340
01:21:47,319 --> 01:21:50,938
No, that was...
Ellie's prerogative, perhaps.
1341
01:21:51,448 --> 01:21:53,064
As you know,
1342
01:21:53,909 --> 01:21:56,242
I've never had much
time for Greta.
1343
01:21:56,370 --> 01:21:58,236
A very confident girl, nevertheless.
1344
01:21:58,330 --> 01:22:01,323
Yes, well, that's it.
I mean fair's fair.
1345
01:22:01,417 --> 01:22:05,001
When I dismiss her, should I
give her a present, or what?
1346
01:22:05,087 --> 01:22:07,500
Well, Ellie provided
for her adequately,
1347
01:22:07,673 --> 01:22:09,881
but if, when she leaves,
you want to add
1348
01:22:10,008 --> 01:22:13,342
what the French call a "douceur"...
well, that's up to you.
1349
01:22:13,470 --> 01:22:14,961
Er... are you flying back?
1350
01:22:15,055 --> 01:22:16,091
- No, sailing.
- Oh.
1351
01:22:16,181 --> 01:22:19,049
Tomorrow's boat. I think the
voyage will do me good.
1352
01:22:19,143 --> 01:22:20,259
Yes.
1353
01:22:20,352 --> 01:22:22,969
Well, there's one more
document that concerns you.
1354
01:22:23,063 --> 01:22:24,770
It came in this morning.
1355
01:22:24,857 --> 01:22:27,019
As soon as it's been
certified and copied,
1356
01:22:27,151 --> 01:22:28,983
I'll mail it to you in England.
1357
01:22:29,695 --> 01:22:32,187
It should be waiting
for you on your arrival.
1358
01:22:32,322 --> 01:22:33,858
Is that the lot?
1359
01:22:34,867 --> 01:22:36,403

- Fine.

01:22:36,493 --> 01:22:37,493
Oh.
1361
01:22:37,870 --> 01:22:38,951
Hello?
1362
01:22:39,705 --> 01:22:41,321
Yes, he's still with me.
1363
01:22:42,374 --> 01:22:43,785
Who?
1364
01:22:43,917 --> 01:22:45,909
Oh wait, I'll talk with him.
1365
01:22:46,003 --> 01:22:48,962
It's the Halcyon
County Hospital, Goshen.
1366
01:22:49,673 --> 01:22:53,212
Your friend, Santonix.
He's asking for you.
1367
01:23:14,740 --> 01:23:16,447
Michael?
1368
01:23:19,536 --> 01:23:20,822
Yes.
1369
01:23:21,497 --> 01:23:23,159
Yes, I'm here.
1370
01:23:25,667 --> 01:23:28,785
I built you a good house.
1371
01:23:29,630 --> 01:23:31,747
You built me a wonderful house.

01:23:34,301 --> 01:23:35,837

01:23:39,306 --> 01:23:40,922

1374
01:23:44,061 --> 01:23:47,054
You damned fool.
1375
01:23:47,981 --> 01:23:52,271
Why didn't you go the other way?
1376
01:24:18,887 --> 01:24:21,129
MIKE: Next day,
I sailed for home.
1377
01:24:21,807 --> 01:24:24,265
Home, to the only place
I cared for.
1378
01:24:24,518 --> 01:24:25,679

- Had a good trip?
- Fine, thank you.

01:26:14,169 --> 01:26:15,169
(GLISSANDO)
1390
01:26:52,833 --> 01:26:56,952
GRETA:
Oh, Mr Sailor, home from sea.
1391
01:26:59,381 --> 01:27:01,043
We made it.
1392
01:27:01,174 --> 01:27:03,166
I guess we have.
1393
01:27:03,844 --> 01:27:06,336
Although New York was bloody tough.
1394
01:27:06,471 --> 01:27:09,009
Still, I've always enjoyed
playing a part.
1395
01:27:09,558 --> 01:27:11,174
What about the Philpotts?
1396
01:27:11,268 --> 01:27:14,181
My telegram said expect me
any time up till midnight.
1397
01:27:15,272 --> 01:27:16,934
I'll be getting along soon.
1398
01:27:17,774 --> 01:27:20,482
Very nice people,
the old doc and his wife.
1399
01:27:20,652 --> 01:27:22,063
Very fond of them.
1400
01:27:22,154 --> 01:27:24,487
They're really quite
attached to me.
1401
01:27:25,198 --> 01:27:27,611
It was worth the risk tonight.
1402
01:27:27,701 --> 01:27:30,284
You enjoy taking risks,
don't you, Greta?
1403
01:27:30,370 --> 01:27:31,611
We took some with Ellie.
1404
01:27:31,705 --> 01:27:33,224
- I don't want to talk about Ellie.
- Darling...
1405
01:27:33,248 --> 01:27:36,537
I don't want you
to talk about Ellie.
1406
01:27:38,044 --> 01:27:40,707
Mike, don't spoil it now.
1407
01:27:40,881 --> 01:27:43,544
Anyway, after tonight
we can't meet for...
1408
01:27:43,633 --> 01:27:44,633
three months?
1409
01:27:44,676 --> 01:27:45,962
At least.
1410
01:27:47,804 --> 01:27:52,424
I arranged with Uncle Andrew
to terminate your engagement with
1411
01:27:52,517 --> 01:27:55,180
what the French call a "douceur".
1412
01:27:56,313 --> 01:27:59,351
Darling, you've just
given me one.
1413
01:28:01,485 --> 01:28:04,649
Didn't tell you.
Santonix is dead.
1414
01:28:04,738 --> 01:28:06,195
Oh, what a pity.
1415
01:28:06,823 --> 01:28:09,110
"Oh, what a pity."
1416
01:28:09,659 --> 01:28:11,275
You never cared for
him much, did you?
1417
01:28:11,536 --> 01:28:13,744
About as much as
he cared for me.
1418
01:28:15,707 --> 01:28:17,414
I was with him
when he died.
1419
01:28:18,376 --> 01:28:21,619
He said I ought to have
gone the other way.
1420
01:28:21,755 --> 01:28:23,166
Anyway,
1421
01:28:23,340 --> 01:28:25,206
he built you a nice house.
1422
01:28:25,383 --> 01:28:28,592
I think it would be an idea
to keep it on for a while.
1423
01:28:29,721 --> 01:28:31,132
What?
1424
01:28:34,226 --> 01:28:37,060
You don't think I'm going to
live anywhere else, do you?
1425
01:28:37,145 --> 01:28:39,137
How can we live here all the time,
1426
01:28:39,231 --> 01:28:42,224
with all the world to see,
and the money to see it with?
1427
01:28:42,692 --> 01:28:46,185
If I wanted to see the world,
I'd have joined the bloody Navy!
1428
01:28:50,617 --> 01:28:53,234
You're tired, and on edge.
1429
01:28:53,328 --> 01:28:55,069
I quite understand.
1430
01:28:56,164 --> 01:28:57,951
Yes, maybe I am.
1431
01:28:58,041 --> 01:28:59,657
Time I was going.
1432
01:28:59,918 --> 01:29:01,375
Sorry, love.
1433
01:29:02,462 --> 01:29:04,124
Oh, Mike...
1434
01:29:04,214 --> 01:29:06,001
some mail for you here.
1435
01:29:06,091 --> 01:29:08,629
It's a big envelope with
a New York postmark.
1436
01:29:08,718 --> 01:29:11,961
Ah, that'll be the one
from Uncle Andrew.
1437
01:29:16,518 --> 01:29:18,475
I'll bring the doctor along
in the morning.
1438
01:29:18,562 --> 01:29:22,101
He can watch me shaking you
gratefully by the hand.
1439
01:29:22,190 --> 01:29:24,022
And then, that should...
1440
01:29:26,903 --> 01:29:28,610
What is it?
1441
01:29:29,489 --> 01:29:31,196
Christ Almighty!
1442
01:29:36,121 --> 01:29:38,864
Look at the back.
Look at the back!
1443
01:29:42,168 --> 01:29:47,288
"Taken: Amsterdam,
August 17th, 19..."
1444
01:29:47,591 --> 01:29:48,832
Last year!
1445
01:29:48,925 --> 01:29:51,918
Before I first met Ellie.
1446
01:30:14,576 --> 01:30:18,115
"I warned Ellie about you
more than once.
1447
01:30:19,372 --> 01:30:20,908
"but she would never listen.
1448
01:30:21,291 --> 01:30:22,748
"Lippincott."
1449
01:30:23,710 --> 01:30:26,578
He knows.
He knows!
1450
01:30:26,671 --> 01:30:29,084
He suspected from the beginning,
now he's dug and dug
1451
01:30:29,174 --> 01:30:30,631
and found the proof!
1452
01:30:30,717 --> 01:30:32,959
Christ Almighty,
what are we gonna do?!
1453
01:30:33,053 --> 01:30:35,670
Well, don't just stand there,
what are we gonna do?
1454
01:30:35,764 --> 01:30:37,255
We're finished,
don't you understand?
1455
01:30:37,349 --> 01:30:38,715
We're finished! He knows!
1456
01:30:38,808 --> 01:30:41,141
Then we don't get the house.
We don't get anything.
1457
01:30:41,269 --> 01:30:42,680
It's all been for nothing!
1458
01:30:42,771 --> 01:30:44,137
Mike, stop panicking!
1459
01:30:44,648 --> 01:30:45,764
What does he know?
1460
01:30:45,857 --> 01:30:47,598
Only that we met before.
1461
01:30:47,692 --> 01:30:50,150
What can he prove about Ellie now?
1462
01:30:50,904 --> 01:30:52,145
I saw her tonight.
1463
01:30:52,656 --> 01:30:53,817
What do you mean?
1464
01:30:54,115 --> 01:30:55,651
She was standing there smiling,
1465
01:30:55,742 --> 01:30:57,153
but she couldn't see me.
1466
01:30:57,661 --> 01:30:59,994
What's the matter with you?
You imagined it.
1467
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:02,914
But why couldn't she see me?
I was there, wasn't I?
1468
01:31:03,166 --> 01:31:05,954
Mike, there is no time to lose.
1469
01:31:06,628 --> 01:31:08,915
He warned her about me, but...
1470
01:31:09,005 --> 01:31:10,997
she would never listen.
1471
01:31:12,133 --> 01:31:13,374
Why wouldn't she?
1472
01:31:13,718 --> 01:31:15,209
Get back to Philpott now.
1473
01:31:15,303 --> 01:31:18,796
Act it out, and there is
nothing they can do to us.
1474
01:31:19,849 --> 01:31:21,966
'Cause she loved me, that's why.
1475
01:31:22,227 --> 01:31:24,594
Perhaps I loved her, too.
1476
01:31:24,980 --> 01:31:27,393
I could have been happy, couldn't I?
1477
01:31:27,482 --> 01:31:28,939
Really, married to Ellie?
1478
01:31:29,317 --> 01:31:30,649
Go, now.
1479
01:31:32,654 --> 01:31:35,818
Supposing Ellie took
that capsule knowing,
1480
01:31:36,324 --> 01:31:39,158
just because she thought
that was what I wanted?
1481
01:31:40,245 --> 01:31:41,531
You're mad.
1482
01:31:42,205 --> 01:31:44,618
I must have been, mustn't I?
1483
01:31:44,749 --> 01:31:45,749
Listen.
1484
01:31:45,834 --> 01:31:47,826
Go back. Go to bed.
1485
01:31:47,961 --> 01:31:49,497
Take a pill, sleep it off.
1486
01:31:49,587 --> 01:31:51,044
I don't care, but, for God's sake,
1487
01:31:51,131 --> 01:31:52,731
wake up with a clear head
in the morning!

01:32:00,306 --> 01:32:02,138
You planned it.
1491
01:32:02,892 --> 01:32:05,100
You've lost me Gipsy's Acre.
1492
01:32:05,186 --> 01:32:07,223
You've lost me this house,
1493
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:10,557
and, worst of all, you lost me Ellie!
1494
01:32:10,817 --> 01:32:13,275
No, Mike! No, Mike!
1495
01:32:14,112 --> 01:32:15,569
You think you're
stronger than I am.
1496
01:32:15,655 --> 01:32:17,988
You're wrong!
You've always been wrong!
1497
01:32:18,074 --> 01:32:20,066
I was so happy that
last day with Ellie.
1498
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:22,493
Now that couldn't be right,
could it?!
1499
01:32:22,579 --> 01:32:25,071

do it a more delicate way

'Course.

You're old Philpott.
1520
01:35:13,416 --> 01:35:15,453
About Ellie...
1521
01:35:15,543 --> 01:35:18,581
it was in her allergy
capsule, wasn't it?
1522
01:35:18,671 --> 01:35:21,038
Cyanide, I expect, in the capsule?
1523
01:35:21,466 --> 01:35:22,673
Yes.
1524
01:35:23,218 --> 01:35:25,551
We split the two halves
of the capsule,
1525
01:35:25,637 --> 01:35:27,879
put some of the stuff
for the wasps in,
1526
01:35:27,972 --> 01:35:29,634
stuck them together again.
1527
01:35:29,724 --> 01:35:31,431
You remember the wasps?
1528
01:35:31,517 --> 01:35:33,349
- Rather clever, wasn't it?
- Very.
1529
01:35:33,519 --> 01:35:36,182
Because after two hours
there'd be nothing.
1530
01:35:36,272 --> 01:35:39,185
Nothing to smell,
nothing to find.
1531
01:35:39,442 --> 01:35:40,603
That's why I guessed.
1532
01:35:40,944 --> 01:35:43,561
Yes.
Greta looked all that up.
1533
01:35:43,655 --> 01:35:45,772
That was a smashing
quarrel we had.
1534
01:35:45,865 --> 01:35:48,403
- Didn't I do it well?
- Yes, very well.
1535
01:35:49,035 --> 01:35:52,403
Michael, about Miss Townsend...
1536
01:35:53,998 --> 01:35:56,741
There was no Miss Townsend.
Everybody knows that.
1537
01:35:56,834 --> 01:36:00,794
Of course, Mike, of course,
but you know who I mean.
1538
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:04,294
You paid her to do some
of those things, didn't you?
1539
01:36:05,218 --> 01:36:08,461
After that, she knew too much.
1540
01:36:08,596 --> 01:36:10,462
What could you do?
1541
01:36:10,932 --> 01:36:12,639
There's no such person!

but I was afraid all those years.

Ever since I came across
Joe's watch in your drawer.
1546

Mustn't blame yourself, Mum.
1547
01:36:36,291 --> 01:36:38,578
Might've been different
if my Dad had lived.
1548
01:36:39,085 --> 01:36:40,576
Your Dad?
1549
01:36:41,337 --> 01:36:43,329

Go on, Michael.
1552
01:36:55,435 --> 01:36:58,269
I don't seem to be able
to remember any more.
1553
01:36:59,981 --> 01:37:02,223
Can I go home now, please?
1554
01:37:03,026 --> 01:37:05,643
Doctor Philpott, I don't
like it here anymore.
1555
01:37:05,945 --> 01:37:08,483
Can I go back to
Gipsy's Acre now?
1556
01:37:08,948 --> 01:37:11,110
Doctor Philpott, can I
go home now, please?
1557
01:37:14,287 --> 01:37:17,200
Well, Michael, my boy,
it was fine that time,
1558
01:37:17,290 --> 01:37:19,452
as far as it goes.
1559
01:37:20,585 --> 01:37:21,951
But, I suppose you realise
1560
01:37:22,045 --> 01:37:24,458
that you never tell the
same story twice, don't you?
1561
01:37:25,381 --> 01:37:27,168
Sometimes you tell it
1562
01:37:27,508 --> 01:37:29,215
as it seems to you,
1563
01:37:30,636 --> 01:37:31,968

to seem to us.
1565
01:37:38,603 --> 01:37:41,471

1566
01:37:42,607 --> 01:37:46,647

1567
01:37:47,070 --> 01:37:49,437
and start all over again?
1568
01:37:51,574 --> 01:37:52,574
And, this time,
1569
01:37:52,658 --> 01:37:56,322
see if you can tell us what
you did to Miss Townsend.

01:38:01,250 --> 01:38:04,209
(WHISPERING)
I think I ought to mention that...
