["Pomp and Circumstance"]

["Pomp and Circumstance"]

You're not eating, Edwina.

I'm not hungry.

["Pomp and Circumstance"]

["Pomp and Circumstance"]

["Pomp and Circumstance"]

Here we are.

Oh.

Look, Emma, I'm not totally useless.

Be quiet and do as you told Frank, my lad.

Bossy, Nickers.

All the property has been left for you.

This is Lother.

To me.

I thought Kid would inherit.

Mr. Lother did leave the money to his son and an annuity to Edwina.

You were the executive, of course.

But all the property has gone to you.

You obviously trusted your judgment to look after the children's future.

Yes.

Of course I shall do my best.

Do you know what the time is?

Yes.

You're on the treadmill.

You're as much a drudge now as you were at Fairley Hall.

Don't be ridiculous.

You are never free of your work.

Has it occurred to you that I might enjoy it?

How are you feeling?

Oh, much better.

I've even done a little work.

Frank, the hospital said you weren't.

In much?

The newspaper telephoned me.

There was some information about someone we know or other used to know.

Edwin Fairley.

What do they want to know?

Oh, the usual things.

He's won the Victoria Cross for bravery above and beyond the call of duty.

You used to work at the house.

Is there anything interesting about him that you can remember?

Nothing at all.

There's a difficult birth.

She is very weak.

It's a boy.

Yes, it's wonderful.

Frank, we'll be here.

So, please.

As soon as you're discharged, you're coming to stay with me and the children.

I want him.

To be called.

Remember how you looked after me when Edwina was born?

Well, it's my turn.

Come.

Close.

I want him to...

to be part of...

a good Catholic.

Blackie.

Is so...

a Catholic.

A birth.

Those things.

You will take care of Frank.

You're going to do that.

I love you too.

Oh, Laura.

I love you too.

Please.

Don't cry.

There's nothing to cry.

Don't cry.

There's nothing to cry.

Listen to me, Laura.

You must fight.

Please.

Fight.

What do you want?

She's asked for extreme emotion.

There is no more emotion.

Don't you have to be a dumb, a quick quid or a reason that a quisty has.

There is no more emotion.

And so I'm using our ziracolia.

Don't you have to be...

Don't you have to be a dumb, a good one.

Mrs. O'Neil wishes to speak to you.

They'll block you.

I love you.

What will we do without you?

You will manage very well.

God never gives us a surrender to anything to them.

My Christmas presents for a kid that we wrapped in my bedroom.

So that's something for you.

point

please you dressed

oh

Oh, my love.

Oh, an elf, klimorba tat.

Oh, an elf, klimorba tat.

An elf, klimorba tat.

Where has the bee since I saw thee?

I still think it's an odd thing to do.

Well, I have my reason.

Mm.

Hehehehehehehe.

I have two things I want to tell you.

Yes?

The first is that I have never loved anyone the way I love you.

You are my life.

You said there were two things. What's the second?

I'm married.

What did you do?

Why didn't you tell me before?

No, it's a silly question, of course, isn't it?

I didn't tell you because I was afraid of losing you.

If I had told you sooner, you would have run away, wouldn't you?

Yes. That's why I brought you here.

How could you be so devious, so dishonest?

Will you listen to me?

I just wanted to hold on to you, that's all.

I felt that once you loved me, you would learn to understand.

And the circumstances wouldn't stand between us.

I love you, Emma.

And your wife?

It's a meaningless marriage. We haven't lived together for nearly seven years.

Then why don't you?

When this bloody war is over, I'll sort it all out.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you, if you'll have me.

You can take us back to the shore.

I won't run away.

Tell the factory they can go ahead with the lady Hamilton line.

I checked the fabrics before I left.

Goodbye, Gladys.

Thank you.

Oh, my darling.

Oh, my darling.

How are you?

How are you?

Are we being selfish?

Very.

Emma's called the children.

Right.

Hello.

Room 120.

Could I have that Yorkshire number, please?

I have to go to the bank.

Just a few things to attend to.

All right. Hurry back.

Nothing could keep me away from you for longer than an hour.

I'll be back about four.

Hello, kid. Hello. How are you, darling?

Why? Where are you going?

Of course. What time will you be back?

All right. I'll call again tomorrow.

Give Ed we know my love. Bye-bye, darling.

I thought something had happened to you.

Oh, nothing's going to happen to me. My time's not up yet.

Your coat's wet.

I'll take it off. I won't be a minute.

I feel as if I've kept you away from your father and from your friends.

What's wrong?

You've been to the war office.

Then you went to your father to say goodbye.

You're going, aren't you?

Very soon.

Yes.

When?

Tomorrow.

Oh, my God.

Oh, Paul, I can't burn.

But you can't.

Oh, yes, you can't. Yes. You're brave. Yes.

I don't want us to talk about me leaving anymore.

I want us to think only of now, this night,

until this mess is over. That's all we've called it.

This is very cold.

Conditions could be better, but we mustn't grumble, as I say.

I think of you all the time.

I read something years ago, which has always stayed in my mind.

And it seems right for us.

It went something like this.

This party cannot be for long.

Those who love as we do cannot be parted.

We shall always be united in thought.

And thought is a great magnet.

I have often spoken to thee of reason.

Now I speak to thee of faith.

And my love, have faith.

I will carry you and my heart for the rest of my life.

Paul.

Dear Em, the ship was badly hit, and I got some shrapnel in my foot and leg.

Not too good, I'm afraid.

Come and see me at the Chapel Allerton Naval Hospital, Love Winston.

I must warn you of one thing.

Because of the delay, the gangrene has reached the me.

We will have to amputate very high.

What does that mean, exactly?

Well, it means that he might not be able to wear an artificial limb.

My brother will wear an artificial leg.

I have to damn well design one myself.

He's not going to spend the rest of his life in a chair.

Hello, Winston.

Hello, Em.

Thank you.

Have they been telling you how much to have an operation?

I'm not having it.

Listen to me, Winston. If they don't amputate, you'll die.

I might as well be dead with one leg.

My life will be finished.

No, it won't.

I know it seems terrifying now, but...

I will.

If you delay any longer.

Please.

Please.

I'm here.

I'll look after you, will you?

Let's get a double with then.

Miss Bocinex?

Emma.

Is that...

Will you wait till it's done?

Of course I will.

It's all about you doing fine.

That's very good balance.

Come on, Win.

You learned to walk when you were a nipper. You can do it again.

It's over! The war is over!

All of this!

Winston!

Hold up stairs.

It's alright. You can give me a hug.

You hung up me over.

Hello.

Hello.

I can't hear you properly. Who is this speaking?

Paul!

Where are you?

I'm back in England.

You're safe.

Oh, Paul.

Emma, you're there.

They're sending us back to Australia.

But you'll be up to Yorkshire first.

The darling, I can't.

I've shipped sales in charge.

Still in the military orders.

I said I'm still in the military orders.

But I will be back as soon as I'm gone.

I love you, darling.

I'm someone on the line. I can't hear you properly.

I'll come back as soon as I can, darling.

We have the rest of our lives together.

I love you, Anne.

I love you.

Back to me.

What?

Emma?

Emma! Paul?

Right, Emma.

Busy as ever.

How would you like to work for me, Winston?

I need someone I can trust.

Is there a genuine job for me?

This store is just a part of it.

I have other businesses.

I have companies, real estate,

Thompson's and Layton's Mill,

and there's the M-Wem Company.

You never mentioned that before.

That's because no one knows I have anything to do with it.

Penn don't like doing business with women

when it's a question of high finance.

And there is another personal reason.

Now, you have some news for me.

Yes.

Well, as you know, since you...

Well, that is since Emma M.

acquired Procter's Company, the turnover's improved.

I should hope so. It was in a deplorable state.

The point is, we've heard Gerald Fairley has approached Alan Procter for a loan.

Of course, Fairley has no idea that, well, you are in effect Procter's.

How much does he want to borrow?

£200,000.

Really?

He has been having a bad time at the car tables.

Well, I think Gerald Fairley's friend, Alan Procter,

should lend him the money on certain terms.

Yes?

I want a non-contestable note.

Repayment within six months.

And, er, the collateral?

The deeds to the Fairley Mills in armory and stunningly.

That's rather steep terms.

He can take them or leave them.

But he can't go back to his bank.

He's already borrowed from his father's business associates.

Where can he go?

I thought you were out riding.

Hello, Annie.

Evening, Mom.

He came home early.

And we're not in light of the wind.

I've been painting a picture for you.

You look as if you've got more paint on you than on the paper.

Look.

It's you and me, Mommy.

It's lovely, darling.

I'm not a good friend.

I'm not a good friend.

I'm not a good friend.

You're back at last.

I had to work late.

You worked too hard, Mother.

You were not a good friend.

You were not a good friend.

You were not a good friend.

You were not a good friend.

You were not a good friend.

You work too hard, Mother.

Well, I won't be working over Christmas.

I came to ask you for my birth certificate.

May I have it, please?

You're telling me this is legal.

Proxists can take over our mills just like that.

You put the news for your own neck, Gerald.

There's nothing I can do to help you.

But it's... well, it's piracy.

It's the law.

If you can't pay off the note you hand over the mills,

why on earth did you do it?

I needed the money.

Oh, why didn't you seek legal advice first?

No point.

Well, I had to have the money.

I thought Alan would be reasonable.

But he's turned on me.

He's stolen my mills.

Alan hasn't stolen your mills.

You handed them to him on a plate.

You could do.

Let me the money, couldn't you, open?

Are you mad?

I haven't got 200,000 pounds plus the interest you.

You're supposed to be the brains of the family.

Really? Tell me what to do.

You still own the one mill here at Fairley and the Brickyard.

Stop gambling.

Cut down on personal expenditure and build up the one mill you have left.

It's not so easy these days.

There's a hell of a lot of competition.

You're bloody Emma half the one.

She's helping to ruin me.

Stealing some of my best men for her mill.

Your bloody horse been a nuisance for quite a while.

A little bitch.

I don't think you'd better say any more.

What?

But you want to hear the truth about your working class, little piece?

Emma has made a success of her life.

Despite us.

She's a sparky little trouble.

A matter of fact, I tried to sample her goods myself once in our mill.

But I feel soiled just touching you.

You are scum.

Thanks for giving up your Sunday morning, Emma.

You know I enjoy work.

And anyway, it's like old times having you and blackie back.

Emma, there's something I want to tell you.

There's something wrong?

I'm thinking of getting a divorce.

Oh, dear.

You know things weren't going well.

Since I came home, they've become intolerable.

I thought I hoped if I was free, you'd marry me.

Oh, dear, did you know that's not possible?

I didn't make that sacrifice nine years ago when you were single to cause a catastrophe now that you're married with two children.

I told you then it's not possible to build happiness on other people's misery.

What about you and me?

There is no you and me, David.

There's someone else.

He's going to marry him.

No.

He's gone back to his own country.

I haven't heard from him for...

For some time, I don't think he'll come back.

He's not coming back, Emma.

He might as well face the facts.

I have.

I don't usually interfere in your life, but there are a few things you need to know.

You mean that he's married?

I didn't realize you knew.

I suppose Dolly told you?

Only because I asked her and had a concern for you.

It seems a new leading man was in Australia last month.

He was to have met Paul McGill at some reception, but Paul wasn't there.

He was on holiday with his wife.

I can't bear to see you suffering like this.

You need a drink.

For once in your life, you'll do as you told.

To the future.

The future, Frank.

Ah, no.

Come on, Black kid.

No, not yet.

Right, now.

Well, what do you think?

Oh, Blackie.

It's exactly what you've always dreamed about.

No, George and Manchin.

Brian.

They're little differently supposed to be as sweet as cotton.

I must see him for a minute.

Now then, Brian Baru.

Sleepy time.

That's the pie.

Look at him. Look at that dark haze of real and you.

Oh, I was hoping he might look more like Laura.

Anyway, my sister has great plans for him in Ireland.

Take a pair of sparkling eyes.

It never end on, in a merciful eclipse.

Do not heed their mild surprise.

Having passed the room, break on.

Take a pair of roses.

Take a think, but friendly plan.

Such as admiration wets.

I'm particular in this.

Take a ten-and-a-half-and.

Fringe with dainty fingerheads.

Press, press it.

And parentheses.

What's happening to her when?

What does she see in him?

If I can, I'm a very lucky man.

And I'll keep them if I can.

I still think she's overextending herself.

She tells me she's thinking of building a store in London.

How in the world is she going to pay for it all?

Will you make a happy man?

You can. You can.

You can.

I'll go and check in Nancy.

You will come. Yes.

You can.

It's a lovely party, Blackie.

What he's got in his body, young young.

I always thought you couldn't stand young easily.

No, it's not so bad.

It's more intelligent, Broadaud.

And he is amusing.

He sounds as if you've been spending some time with him.

I only see him all business.

Now, talking about business, where about some London are you going to build this store?

I have found a piece of land in Knightsbridge.

I can get it for a good price.

And I want you to see it.

So I shall, so I shall.

Now, if you go ahead with this deal, I will build you the finest store in the whole world.

What's this nonsense in there?

The marriage is announced.

Thank you, Gladys. You can start with me.

You and Arthur Ainsley. That dandy.

That lie weight. Didn't even serve his country.

I don't like personal discussion.

No, but this is win. And my life is my own concern.

You do something. You're regret.

I know.

But I have to make my own decisions.

But why him?

Arthur is charming. He's nice to the children.

He has good taste. Fine.

And he's useful at dinner parties.

So is a butler?

Yes.

Well, a woman in my position needs a husband just as she needs a butler.

I'm lonely, Min.

So he's the perfect choice then. Apart from one thing.

You don't say you love him.

I'm fond of him.

Is that enough?

It has to be.

Mrs. Lather, please.

I'm afraid Mrs. Lather's away, sir.

She's in a honeymoon.

Good morning. Good morning, sir.

My name is Honeel. I have an appointment to see Mr. Gerald fairly.

Very good, sir.

What's it feel like? Being back after all these years.

I feel as if it's some terrible dream.

I shall wake up and find I've overslept and the fires haven't been laid.

You wouldn't have found that in my day.

Have you any idea how many times I dusted those panels, beat the carpets, polished the furniture, cleaned that grate?

I counted once.

I bet even you can't remember.

I remember everything, Blackie.

Ah.

Morning, Mr. O'Neill.

Mr. Ferley.

I seem to know your face.

You have no right to bring this woman here. Get away from my desk.

I believe this is in fact my desk.

What the hell are you talking about?

You sold fairly hall to Deerfield Estates, did you not?

Well, I am Deerfield Estates.

And yes, this desk is listed on the infant trip.

And since you have already cashed the check from Deerfield, this is now my desk.

And of course, my house.

I cancel the sale.

Certainly. If you can return the money.

Please vacate the house by the end of the week.

Oh, and would you arrange to have your personal belongings removed from Ferley Mill by five o'clock today at the latest?

What?

I'm not wrong in thinking that you sold fairly Mill to the general retail company two weeks ago, am I?

General retail company is a division of Procters which is owned by a company called Emrem.

Yes, I'm afraid I own Emrem too.

It's playing theft!

It's business, you vindictive bitch. You want everything we've got?

Yes.

Can you cold bloodedly set out to ruin someone?

That was my plan, but you did it yourself, really. I just helped you along the way.

I suggest you start moving your things from the mill immediately.

Suppose I don't?

There'll be dumped in the yard.

Well, it's a solid enough place, am I?

I can put it right quite easily.

Tear it down.

What?

Tear it down.

Brick, I brick, I brick, until there is nothing left.

But I thought you wanted to live in it.

I wanted wiped off the face of the earth.

As if it had never existed.

And demolish that rose garden, destroy it all.

I don't want one leaf, one bud left growing.

And after it is demolished,

I shall turn this into a park for the local people.

A beautiful park in memory of my mother.

And if you thought...

Sorry, my rates are higher than that these days.

Oh, what's your drinking?

Elevagen fizz, please.

An hectic day, I need one.

When wasn't it a hectic day for you?

Well, at least I can flop into a bath and read in bed this evening.

Arthur will be out, as usual.

Why the hell don't you get rid of him, Emma?

He doesn't bother me. I hardly know he exists.

What's the point?

His drinking's got worse and...

Well... And there are other women, I know.

Then why don't you get a divorce?

For the children, mostly.

Rubbish, that's an excuse.

Edwina and Kitter at Bored in school.

And Elizabeth and Robin, they're only three, they need a father.

Well, Arthur's hardly a...

Arthur is very good with them.

There's no like you to put things off.

It's not so bad.

I can't bear to think of you being so lonely.

I don't have time to be lonely.

Enough of that.

Have you seen the house at Hampstead?

Do you like it? Does Charlotte?

It's pretty expensive.

If it's too much, I'll make up the difference.

No, you can't do that.

No, I can.

If it makes you happy.

Blackie once said that money is meant to be spent.

He said...

What's wrong?

It's Paul.

Paul MacGill.

Oh, my God, he's coming this way.

Hello, Emma.

Frank?

Well, you haven't changed.

Except for the short hair.

I like it.

Well, I have to go and get back to Fleet Street.

Bye.

I have to go to, excuse me.

Emma.

Don't be angry with Frank.

I asked him to arrange this meeting.

Because I knew you would refuse to see me.

Do you blame me?

No.

Would you just listen to me? Please.

Is your wife here with you?

What?

The last news I had of you, you were on holiday together.

Was this about four years ago?

Yes.

Yes, well, Constance threatened to kill herself.

We had to take her to a clinic in Brisbane.

She's now alcoholic.

I don't want to hear about it.

Why didn't you write?

I would have waited forever.

I sent you letters.

Why didn't you even answer my letters?

I sent cables.

And they all got lost in the post?

No.

Here.

My letters to you, yours to me.

I don't understand.

When I'm not surprised, here.

It's a rather bizarre story, actually.

And I won't blame you if you don't believe me,

but it happens to be the truth.

They were stolen by my secretary.

I knew she was devoted to the firm,

but what I didn't realize was that she was very much in love with me.

But you knew I was waiting for you.

Why didn't you just come back?

When I got home, my father was seriously ill.

Three weeks later, he died.

I'm sorry.

I was working 16 hours a day trying to win it all at once,

running the whole show.

My father's secretary was a godsend.

She knew it all.

I trusted her completely.

So, when I got the chance,

I came on a boat to London and find out why I hadn't heard of you.

You just left on your honeymoon.

If you were happy now, I wouldn't have told you any of this.

But Frank said your marriage isn't working.

I thought that I...

Have you thought of getting a divorce?

No. Have you?

Well, I've tried for years, but Constance is a Catholic and refuses to discuss it.

But I haven't given up hope.

I have to do it with me.

No, I can't. I'm sorry.

I asked you once before when you were running away.

Who you were afraid of? Me or yourself?

I'm not afraid of anything.

I'm not afraid of anyone.

You're back.

Edwina? Has something happened at school?

No. I came home to see you.

About this.

Whatever they teach you with that expensive establishment,

it certainly isn't manners.

Don't bother to look inside. It's my birth certificate.

How did you find...

I wrote to someone who said house for a copy.

I can see why you've kept it from me all these years.

Oh, don't look so shocked, Mother.

I'm the one who should be shocked.

I'm the one who's illegitimate.

Edwina, if I told you it...

If these house, please, you let me grieve for Joe all these years and he wasn't even my father.

Black-year-mill. How could you?

Joe was your father in the best sense of the word.

Any man can father a child.

That's quite obvious.

It's what he does after that child is born.

That's what makes someone really a father. That's what comes.

Don't touch me.

Edwina, I know you're hurt and upset.

But I would like to try and explain.

I'm not interested in your explanations.

I'm going to stay without freedom for the holiday.

Next time I want to go to finishing school in Switzerland...

I'll take it you'll pay the fees.

I have never denied you anything.

Edwina, we have to talk.

I said all I want to say.

I don't want to see you again.

I think he does it on purpose to get his own back at Emma.

And he never complained.

That's a trouble.

Must be hell, though, living with someone you know is too good for you.

I didn't know you were going to be here.

They're all friends of my father's.

Right, my boy.

And who's this?

Paul McGill, Arthur Incely.

Friend of Amazonia.

And a whole family.

Nice.

The whole family.

What?

Not quite the whole family.

Can I find a mind?

Not yet, anyway.

I promised I'd look in at the office.

So goodbye, Frank.

I'll see you later.

Did you see that?

No, it's fine.

We have to really talk.

We'll go to my home.

I can't go on just standing by seeing you so unhappy.

I'm glad you're here.

I haven't thought about you.

I've been out on the fire.

I need you.

I wanted you my love.

I've always loved you.

I'm not going to leave you ever again.

I'm going to be together.

For good.

I know.

I've got to make up for all those lost years.

Good Emma.

I was surprised.

You're not in New York.

Hello, but I'm bum bum bum.

I'm not in Paris.

I want to talk to you.

London.

It's important.

If it's important, it must be business.

I'm going to have a baby.

That's rich.

The second immaculate conception in history.

Who's the father, the Holy Ghost?

I really wanted to tell you.

Thank you.

I'll obviously get to DuBours.

Not until I say so.

Try and stop me.

I wonder what your father would say if he knew what you'd been up to.

I think he'd say my private life is my own affair.

Possibly.

Where women and drink are concerned.

But I think the young men might be a little too much for you.

It's a lie.

I understand that.

In any case, I think of a damn what my father thinks.

Not even if he cuts you out of his will.

You're bluffing.

I've had a detective on you for years.

My father won't believe you.

I've got proof of everything.

This is blackmail.

I'm supposed to turn a blind light into your adultery.

Don't do a hypocrite.

It's what I've had to do ever since we were married.

Em...

The twins will come with me.

You can keep the house.

I'll be in touch after the baby's born.

I just saw her.

She's a real beaut.

I want to call her Daisy.

Daisy, that great, great, great.

But I wish you let me put my name on the birth certificate as a father.

When she's old enough to understand we can tell her you're her father.

I don't want her to be a legitimate.

How it's not so important, is it?

You don't know my life, Paul.

You couldn't understand.

Well, try me, eh?

When I was 15, I was at the same dinner party as your father at Fairleigh Hall.

You never told me?

Oh, he didn't know.

I was invisible.

He was the guest of honor.

I was a kitchen maid.

I'm afraid visitors will have to go.

It's feeding time.

He wants to take a photograph.

You don't mind, do you?

Just a few minutes.

All right, my Daisy's.

Smile.

Say wollaby.

I'm coming.

I'm not going to eat all that.

Daisy, my love.

Time to blow the candle, Paul.

Don't forget to wish.

It's a great party.

Oh, good.

Now, so get on with you.

I'd like to welcome to this family birthday party from VB.

No, no, don't be ungrateful, Lizzie.

Mother always tries to be home at Christmas.

Cut the cake.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, dear Daisy.

Happy birthday to you.

Oh, yes.

Don't forget next Monday.

Good night, Daisy.

Right, lovely.

Nice to see you.

Double as kissy, girl, man.

It's like...

Good night.

Good night.

Can I have a look?

Beautiful.

Good night, love.

Good night, Paul.

Good night, happy birthday.

Go on, I'll take it.

I didn't love the children.

But it's nice, isn't it?

When it's just the two of us.

Don't worry, my darling.

They're going to be years and years.

I've just the two of us.

I don't care what their excuses are.

It's a perfect time.

I don't care what their excuses are.

It's a perfect time.

I don't care what their excuses are.

It's a perfect time.

They can't be a must for going elsewhere.

Follow it up and let me have a report on Monday.

Paul, darling, what is it?

I've just had a call from Texas.

Harry Marriott.

Problems with the drilling.

What?

I booked a passage on the Queen Elizabeth for thirsty.

That doesn't give me much time to pack and organize.

I'm not going to do that.

I want you to stay here.

Can't they do without you for once?

I have to go to Sydney anyway.

Does he constance?

One more try for the boss.

I don't want you to go.

You might get stuck in Australia if war breaks out.

Please, don't go, darling.

I won't stay long.

Paul, I'll be back with you before anything can happen.

Paul, I'll be back with you.

Before anything can happen.

Paul.

I'm your local wedding wife.

I am the toy to you for 30 years.

Isn't that enough?

I am the toy to you for 30 years.

I'm a Catholic.

Catholic, who I call, and who I call, and who I call.

The church does not allow it to happen.

Now you think that it's working good.

Now, now, now.

The church does not allow it.

Not allow it to happen.

Never, never, never, never, never.

Never, never, never, never.

I do for 30 years.

I am a local wedding wife.

20 years.

I find that life, and I will be back.

I will be back with you.

I will be back with you.

I will be back with you.

I will be back with you.

I will be back with you.

I will be back with you.

Well, this says, and says, I'm lucky to be alive.

Well, let's give thanks for Martin Metzen.

Yes.

Yes.

Did you bring the papers?

I got them all here.

Good.

Let's get down to it then.

Right up.

You, uh, need to sign all three copies.

Right.

I'll date them.

Um, we'll need witnesses for the next stage.

Paul, I think you should tell Emma the full facts.

Send for her.

No.

The war news is getting worse every day,

and I don't want her traveling halfway across the world.

It's such a dangerous time.

Paul.

It's not fair to her.

You're underestimating Emma.

She would want the truth, mate.

Well, pass to that.

There's something I haven't told you, Mel.

The doctors don't know how long they can keep my kidneys going.

Apparently, that's what usually kills Pathal Ejics.

Kidney failure.

The prognosis is bad.

What?

What are you saying?

Nine months.

At the most.

You want to stay to dinner?

Why?

I was thinking of inviting myself.

There's a great clearing my father put down.

I'll have some.

Mel Boyne's saving you.

No point saving you.

Paul.

Would you like?

A brandy, please.

What's the latest news?

Oh, we're pretty sure that Nazis are going to move into Poland.

That means the men will get called up.

Oh, my God, the boys.

Robin and Kid will have to go.

Perhaps there's something on the late news, Turned on,

would you, Winston?

Well, there won't be anything new on there.

Look, Emma, there's something now.

I'd like to tell you.

Winston, please.

Mr. Paul McGill.

I'm just...

Australia's leading industrialist was found shop dead on Sunday night at his home in Sydney.

Mr. McGill, who was 59, had been involved in a serious road accident some weeks ago,

in which he received severe spinal injuries resulting in paralysis.

Mr. McGill, who had spent much of his time in London during the past 16 years,

was a popular thing in the city of London, when his turn of interest rains through mine.

I learned about it just before I left the office.

I wanted to tell you before you learned about it from somewhere else.

Why didn't he tell me?

I should have been with him.

Why didn't he tell me?

So she didn't have the pain of seeing him like that?

Pain?

I loved him.

Emma, drink this, Emma.

It was my life.

I loved him.

There's nothing left.

Nothing left.

You are my life.

But it seems there is no future for us now.

So I have decided that this is the best way to do it.

At least I am taking charge of my own fate.

Waiting for the end would be a pretty miserable business for both of us.

And I want to save you that.

Oh, we have been lucky, Emma.

We have had so many good years together.

I'm not sure.

Oh, we have been lucky, Emma.

And the happy memories are alive in me as I know they are in you.

And will be as long as you live.

Thank you for giving me the best years of my life.

And take good care of our daily.

Your face is before me.

Not just a picture on my desk, but your image in my heart.

And try my darling to forgive me.

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

Grandie, it's time to wake up.

Oh.

I was just dreaming.

Sit down, Paula. I want to talk to you.

Yes? About Jim Fairley.

Well, there's nothing to talk about.

Oh, there might be. I wanted to ask you how you and Jim met.

What does it matter? It's all over.

I'd like to know.

On a plane coming back from Paris.

Jim hates flying. His parents were killed in a plane crash.

Yes, yes, I know.

I cheered him up a bit. He invited me out to dinner.

And that's when I found out he was a Fairley.

And working for your newspaper.

So it was just a chance meeting. Jim called it Destiny.

Destiny?

Many, many years ago, your grandfather told me I was his destiny.

It was ridiculous and wicked for a woman of my years to let bitterness get in the way of your happiness.

Oh, Grandie, I always thought it's my life.

I make the decisions. I thought I could control things.

It's time I gave a Fairley the benefit of the doubt.

And maybe I ought to stop playing God too.

Oh, Grandie.

Now, you telephone young Fairley and invite him to dinner tonight, but don't say a word to anyone.

The Fairley will collapse when they see a Fairley walking.

Oh, they'll have other things to think about.

Oh, are you sure about this?

Very sure.

Lucky!

Emma, darling.

Oh, why, uh, let me have a look at you.

God, you put on weight, Gell.

Is that all you can say after not seeing me for a year?

Sure. I'm not a silver hair among the gorgs.

Oh, it was silver years ago. This comes out of a bottle.

Yeah, what happened?

Oh, damned horse. Through me.

You fell off.

You're absolutely sure?

Absolutely. I've got the banging thing you're saying.

I was waiting for you.

You're sure you're not there with always.

Get your hands.

Your paper's over.

Mother, what is going on?

I just walked into the drawing room.

Uncle Kit and Uncle Robin behaved as if I was carrying the back death.

Don't ask me.

Nobody tells me anything.

Look, she's past it. It'll be easy.

I've got people standing by and ready to join us in a take-over.

It might be different of the proof. She's actually seen her.

She'll step down to avoid a scandal.

She'd hate them well to know her family doesn't love her.

Oh, come in, Blackie.

I'm made disturbing you.

Yes. Thank God.

I need a break.

Well, you're quite the major we are, girl.

As you're broiled around you.

Or the Queen Bee.

And you know what happens to her when she's outlived her strength.

And what sort of talk is this, Emma?

Hmm?

There's nothing wrong, is there?

No.

Nothing I can't take care of.

Excuse me. Mr. Fairley has arrived.

Oh, that's Jim Fairley.

Jim Fairley.

What's he doing here?

Jim?

Jim?

Jim?

What's he doing here?

Getting his orders, I expect.

She must love telling a fan of what to do.

You know, Paula could never have been happy if it meant hurting you.

Hmm?

I have something for you, Jim.

It's a new tenure contract with a newspaper.

And I am appointing you, managing director.

This is hot.

Emma.

Thank you.

Emma, I've got something for you, too.

I didn't have the courage to give it to you before.

Grandfather wanted you to have this.

Oh.

Edwin and Emma.

When did he give you this?

Just before he died.

So, he kept it all these years.

He told me the whole story about the two of you.

I suppose you knew about Adam and your mother.

I think I guessed.

She ran away when she discovered she was pregnant.

When Adam found her, she'd lost the baby and was very ill.

Then she came back and married your father and never spoke to Adam again.

So much bitterness.

Well, that's in the past.

I'll take my arm, young man, and escort me down to dinner.

Listen, everybody.

I'd like to propose a toast.

A birthday toast to grandmother.

I'd like to drink to her continuing good health.

For we all love her very dearly.

Emma Hart, a great lady to whom we all owe so much.

Emma Hart.

Thank you, Emily.

Thank you all.

Now, this is my birthday party and I'm reversing the usual procedure.

I'd like to give some birthday presents.

I, Emma Hart, Lauda Ainsley of Peniston Royal Yorkshire,

being of sound mind and body,

hereby declare this to be my last will and testament,

to provoking all wills and codicels here to for made by me.

Is it this a bit morbid, mother?

I don't think so.

No.

Now, this is a rather unwieldy document,

so why don't I just tell you what I have decided?

Grandchildren first.

Anthony.

Amanda.

Francesca.

I have set up a trust fund of two million pounds for each of you.

And I'm giving you all my houses except this one.

Most of my jewelry and the art collection apart from the Van Gogh,

which hangs in my office.

That is for you, Blackie.

Mmm.

Well, you always loved it.

Daisy will have this house.

And the McGill Sapphire's given me by her father.

Oh.

Thank you.

Which brings us to heart enterprises.

Now, in my view, the best way to safeguard the future of the company

is to put control into one person's hands.

So, 52% of the heart shares to my grandson Alexander.

And the remaining shares to be divided equally between my grandchildren,

Emily, Sarah, and Jonathan.

I told you she was up to something.

Say something.

We wanted to say it.

You said you wouldn't take charge of it.

All right.

May I say something?

In due course, you may, Robin.

Now I come to the Heart Department store chain.

I built that chain from nothing with the toil of these hands.

We all have regrets in life.

And one of mine is that when you were a baby,

I couldn't spend more time with you.

I thought I was doing the right thing.

Well, a lifetime's work has gone into making hearts

one of the biggest chains in the world,

and I wanted to remain that way.

I give and bequeath all my shares in heart stores

to my granddaughter Paula.

Paula.

I told you it wouldn't work.

It'll be pretty stupid.

I'm not standing for this.

I don't understand.

Thank you, Grandy.

And I promise you that hearts will be safe with me.

I know.

Now, why don't all of you I have mentioned and you, Jim,

go into the drawing room and start opening the champagne?

The rest of us will be along in a minute.

No, I don't.

No, I don't.

Nicely.

I am not going to take this.

You've been monstrously unfair.

Oh, bloodedly cut us four out of the will.

Deprived us of what is rightfully ours.

I'm not surprised, mind you.

Daisy was always your favorite.

And you were always my favorite son, Robin.

That's what makes it all the sadder.

Where your legal ass?

I intend to contest this will, and the others will back.

I should prove that you were incompetent when you drew it up.

Shut up and sit down, Robin.

Yes, I did cut you out of my will, and for very good reason.

The four of you plotted to take my empire away from me.

You plan to snatch it and break it up and sell it off bit by bit.

But you underestimated me and that is a fatal thing to do.

I'm not going to be vindictive.

These are checks made out to each of you.

One million pounds apiece.

Oh, these are not gifts, by the way.

I'm buying you.

If you accept your checks, you will sign a legal agreement.

Not to challenge my will.

You're a lawyer, Robin.

You know that means you cannot ever contest my will.

Well, make up your minds, I haven't got all night.

Where's the pen?

I think you've been fairly wise.

Now, why don't you join the party? I'll be along presently.

I certainly don't intend to join in any celebration.

Oh, why not?

It's not every day you come into a million pounds.

Don't be a hypocrite, Robin. Go and have some champagne.

Well done, mother.

You were wonderful.

Right in performance, Emma.

Right in performance, Emma. Right in performance.

I wish it hadn't been necessary.

Perhaps it was my fault.

Perhaps I made them more there.

We're the authors of our own lives, my dear.

They've made themselves what they are.

Oh, Blackie, I'm so tired.

Well, you've outlived them all.

Frank and Winston.

Adam, fairly and Gerald.

Even Edward. Poor Edward.

And now Paula will become a fairly strange, isn't it?

If I live long enough, I may have fairly great grandchildren to bounce on my lap.

I'm beginning to think you're a sentimental old woman after all in my heart.

Oh, don't you believe it? Remember what you called me once.

I'm a hard-headed Yorkshire lass.

Are you, though?

Well, maybe so.

Maybe so.

Now then, girl.

I've got a little birthday present for you.

When you were a slipper, girl, I once gave you a little bow.

You remember that bit of glass?

Well, maybe you remember that I said one day they'd make it real sapphires.

Well, there you go.

Oh, Blackie. Thank you.

Oh, sure.

I was going to give it to you years ago, but, uh, the McGill sapphires came along.

Oh, it's very beautiful.

But it could never take the place of the one I cherished for so many years.

My little blue bow made of glass.

What are you crying for, girl?

I'm not.

It's your damn cigar.

To be sure.

I'd ask you to pin it on me if I thought you could see.

Hey, hey, look.

Love you, right, honey.

Hey.

Hi, baby.

Hey, baby.

Here's to those we've loved and kept.

Those we've loved and lost.

And here's to the next generation, and may they find the secret of life.

Which is?

To endure.
