1
00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:26,090
Coming from here. Oh, from number three?
Yeah.

2
00:01:26,290 --> 00:01:28,170
Oh, just come up. What's the matter?

3
00:01:28,630 --> 00:01:29,630
Scared of cats.

4
00:01:29,650 --> 00:01:30,650
Oh. Mrs. Page?

5
00:01:31,790 --> 00:01:32,790
Mrs. Page?

6
00:01:33,550 --> 00:01:34,550
Mrs. Page?

7
00:01:36,090 --> 00:01:37,390
It's all right, the passkey.

8
00:01:39,770 --> 00:01:41,350
Oh, it's on here right enough.

9
00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:42,830
Wicked waste.

10
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:47,190
Hey, careful, Mrs. Elton. Put something
over your mouth. Oh, it's not as bad as

11
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:51,130
that. Bad enough, if you've got a bit of
a head anyway, like I left this cooker

12
00:01:51,130 --> 00:01:52,170
on all night, I expect.

13
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,560
Someone will blow this whole house up
one of these days. That's what'll

14
00:01:55,740 --> 00:01:57,940
Well, there's nobody in here. Bed hasn't
been slept in.

15
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:00,560
Look.

16
00:02:01,780 --> 00:02:02,780
Oh, heavens.

17
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:04,460
Hey, quick, get a doctor or someone.

18
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,639
Mrs. Page.

19
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,640
Mrs. Page.

20
00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:08,979
She's not dead, is she? No, I don't
think so.

21
00:02:09,539 --> 00:02:11,660
Help me take her over to the window. All
right, I'll take her.

22
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,500
Careful. Here we are.

23
00:02:15,540 --> 00:02:16,540
Wasn't on.

24
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,700
The gas wasn't on at all.

25
00:02:19,060 --> 00:02:21,020
Mrs. Elton, open that window real wide.

26
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,440
In 23 years, never a speck of trouble in
the house, and now Mrs. Page of all

27
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,660
people. Where's the nearest doctor, Mrs.
Elton? Let me see.

28
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:29,920
Dr. Brown?

29
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,400
No, he's on his holiday. Get me a
cushion. I know. I'll get Mr. Miller.

30
00:02:33,980 --> 00:02:37,140
The guy upstairs, she means he's not a
doctor, is he? Oh, he's a bookie or

31
00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:40,000
something. What's happening, Mrs. Elton?
It's nothing at all. I'm sorry, Mrs.

32
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,620
Abrahams. What's going on, Mr. Thompson?
It's just a little accident with a gas

33
00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:44,339
stove, Mrs.

34
00:02:44,340 --> 00:02:45,340
Abrahams. We're seeing to it.

35
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,200
Hey!

36
00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:48,460
What's this?

37
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:50,920
Take one at night.

38
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,500
She must have wanted to dope herself
before the gas.

39
00:02:53,780 --> 00:02:57,800
It's all right.

40
00:02:58,380 --> 00:02:59,380
You'll be all right.

41
00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:00,780
You're with friends.

42
00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:05,160
The gas wasn't on at all.

43
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Here, Mr. Miller.

44
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,260
I suppose what must have happened is it
switched itself off at the meter. She

45
00:03:10,260 --> 00:03:11,920
came to a moment ago and mumbled
something.

46
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,240
Here, Miss Maxwell found this.

47
00:03:13,460 --> 00:03:15,440
It's a crime in this country, no
attempted suicide.

48
00:03:15,940 --> 00:03:17,600
Well, how can we be sure it is attempted
suicide?

49
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Because gas fires don't turn themselves
on and sleeping pills don't jump out of

50
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:22,840
bottles.

51
00:03:23,180 --> 00:03:24,180
How many?

52
00:03:25,340 --> 00:03:26,860
How many?

53
00:03:27,580 --> 00:03:28,580
Answer me, how many?

54
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:32,120
Seven. Seven?

55
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:33,840
That's a lot, isn't it?

56
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:35,920
Where's the bedroom? In here.

57
00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:37,500
Bring my bag.

58
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,980
Mrs Elton, a glass of warm water and a
teaspoon, please.

59
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,240
Mrs Elton!

60
00:03:41,380 --> 00:03:42,380
Mrs Elton!

61
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,440
Put the bag down on the bed. Open it.

62
00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:47,730
I'll go and see to it, Mrs Elton.

63
00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:50,990
Mrs Elton's busy. What is it?

64
00:03:51,410 --> 00:03:52,410
It's the laundry.

65
00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:54,350
She wanted it delivered this morning.

66
00:03:54,610 --> 00:03:55,610
Tell him to wait.

67
00:03:55,630 --> 00:03:56,730
You have to wait.

68
00:03:57,170 --> 00:03:58,570
Wait? I can't wait.

69
00:03:58,850 --> 00:04:01,290
Oh, it's the laundry man, Mrs Elton. He
says he can't wait.

70
00:04:01,710 --> 00:04:03,310
I can't come now.

71
00:04:03,890 --> 00:04:04,890
Leave it downstairs.

72
00:04:05,710 --> 00:04:06,689
Where's the water?

73
00:04:06,690 --> 00:04:08,350
The water, Mrs Elton. Coming.

74
00:04:13,790 --> 00:04:15,590
Take the bottle from the right -hand
corner of the case.

75
00:04:16,339 --> 00:04:18,040
This one? The heat teeth come full in
the water.

76
00:04:19,820 --> 00:04:20,820
Hurting me.

77
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:22,600
You're hurting me.

78
00:04:25,380 --> 00:04:26,380
Thank you.

79
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,200
That's all.

80
00:04:28,420 --> 00:04:29,359
Do this.

81
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,360
What are you doing?

82
00:04:30,780 --> 00:04:32,020
Kindly close the door as you go out.

83
00:04:33,260 --> 00:04:34,260
Yes, sir.

84
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,460
Makes me feel sick. That's the point.

85
00:04:38,380 --> 00:04:39,540
Mrs. Elton, the towel, please.

86
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,200
Well, he's kind of rough, but I guess he
knows his job.

87
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,520
Maybe we were wrong. I don't think so.
To me, he's just a big phony. At the

88
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,060
windmill, we call it playing to the
gallery.

89
00:04:48,340 --> 00:04:50,160
Say, Miss Maxwell, what's this?

90
00:04:51,100 --> 00:04:52,580
I knew there'd be one. What?

91
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,099
Suicide note.

92
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:55,079
Well, how do you know?

93
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:56,580
It's just got one word written on it.

94
00:04:57,060 --> 00:05:00,100
Freddy. No, I can't say I have. Well,
don't you know where he works?

95
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,620
Well, I don't know, but he does work.

96
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:04,740
But he has something to do with
aeroplanes, or used to be, anyway.

97
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,720
Well, she must have some relations in
London that we could get a hold of.

98
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,720
what about her friends?

99
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,500
She always seemed to me to have just a
few.

100
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,420
Those that did come always asked for
him, not for her. Well, you must be able

101
00:05:14,420 --> 00:05:15,620
think of someone, Mrs Elton.

102
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,320
Unless, of course, you'd like us to send
for the police.

103
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,040
The police?

104
00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:22,820
Yes, I'm afraid we'd be forced to.

105
00:05:24,020 --> 00:05:26,060
Well, I suppose there is a husband.

106
00:05:26,620 --> 00:05:29,100
Why, isn't Mr Page a husband? I never
said that.

107
00:05:29,420 --> 00:05:32,320
Anyway, my tenants' affairs are their
own business, and what I know I don't

108
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,099
gossip about.

109
00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:36,000
Look, Mrs Elton, if the police come,
it'll all have to come out anyway, so

110
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,000
may as well tell us.

111
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:39,480
Now, who is her real husband?

112
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,880
You mean her first husband? That's what
Miss Maxwell means, of course.

113
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,299
All right.

114
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:45,500
His name's Collier.

115
00:05:45,820 --> 00:05:48,480
So somebody Collier. William, I think it
is. Sir!

116
00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:50,220
What's more, he's a judge.

117
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:51,500
There it is, then.

118
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,180
Now, I hope you're both happy.

119
00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:00,400
Now, where's... I always knew there was
something about her. But I mean a judge.

120
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,760
Oh, really.

121
00:06:02,140 --> 00:06:04,580
Now, Collier, Collier, Collier.

122
00:06:04,980 --> 00:06:06,100
Hey, do you really think we should?

123
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,920
Yes, of course we should. Here it is.

124
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:11,620
Sir William Collier. 103 Chester Square.

125
00:06:12,340 --> 00:06:13,660
Sloan 2116.

126
00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:16,260
Sloan, yes.

127
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,340
Oh. Oh.

128
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,040
I'll dial and you speak.

129
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:21,300
Hey, why me?

130
00:06:21,340 --> 00:06:22,340
Because you're a man.

131
00:06:22,420 --> 00:06:24,560
Well, I don't see what that's got to do
with it.

132
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,680
Hello?

133
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,280
Um, could I speak to Sir Collier,
please? Sir William! Are you sure? It

134
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:34,960
kind of familiar. Yes, of course. Um,
Sir William, I mean.

135
00:06:36,390 --> 00:06:38,690
Oh, no, he won't know who I am.

136
00:06:38,910 --> 00:06:39,910
It's about his wife.

137
00:06:40,270 --> 00:06:42,870
It's about Mrs. Collier. Hello,

138
00:06:43,930 --> 00:06:45,410
this is Dawn Maxwell.

139
00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:49,330
Sir William won't know who I am either,
but it's vital that we speak to him.

140
00:06:49,570 --> 00:06:50,770
It's about his wife.

141
00:06:51,850 --> 00:06:53,490
Sir Collier, really.

142
00:06:54,930 --> 00:06:59,250
Is that you, Sir William? This is Dawn
Maxwell speaking. Sir William, I think

143
00:06:59,250 --> 00:07:02,690
you ought to come round here right away.
27 Weybridge Road, on the embankment

144
00:07:02,690 --> 00:07:03,690
near Battersea Bridge.

145
00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:07,760
Well, I don't think I ought to tell you
that on the phone, should I?

146
00:07:08,300 --> 00:07:09,700
Well, I can tell you this much, Sir
William.

147
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,580
It's got to do with gas and sleeping
pills.

148
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:15,540
No, but very ill.

149
00:07:15,940 --> 00:07:17,900
Well, there was nobody here and I
thought you ought to know.

150
00:07:19,220 --> 00:07:21,760
Yes, 27 Weybridge Road.

151
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,080
That's right.

152
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:25,300
It's coming straight round.

153
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,620
Well, I just hope it's OK.

154
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,920
Of course it's OK.

155
00:07:29,860 --> 00:07:30,860
She's sitting up now.

156
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,120
Drank her coffee quite peacefully. Of
course, still a bit weak.

157
00:07:34,510 --> 00:07:37,470
Mr Miller, give me a call if I'm wanted.
I'm all behind with everything.

158
00:07:37,790 --> 00:07:38,429
You got a cigarette?

159
00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:39,430
Sure.

160
00:07:40,090 --> 00:07:41,090
Here, Doctor.

161
00:07:41,370 --> 00:07:42,370
I'm not a doctor.

162
00:07:42,730 --> 00:07:43,730
Sorry.

163
00:07:44,050 --> 00:07:45,050
Is she all right now?

164
00:07:45,210 --> 00:07:47,570
Not yet. She will be, I suppose, after a
couple of hours in bed.

165
00:07:47,910 --> 00:07:48,809
Physically, yes.

166
00:07:48,810 --> 00:07:50,890
But what about her mind? You make that
distinction.

167
00:07:51,370 --> 00:07:52,870
Seems to me her mind is perfectly sound.

168
00:07:53,090 --> 00:07:56,030
How could it be sound when she tried to
kill herself? She wanted to die, I

169
00:07:56,030 --> 00:07:57,710
gather. Why don't you try and do it
again?

170
00:07:57,970 --> 00:07:58,749
I'm not a prophet.

171
00:07:58,750 --> 00:08:01,430
In fact, as a bookmaker, I make a fairly
respectable living out of other

172
00:08:01,430 --> 00:08:02,590
people's pretensions to prophesy.

173
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:05,500
Still, if you want me to be your partner
for once, I would say that you would

174
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,640
try again and try again very soon,
unless... Unless?

175
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,560
Nothing, I was just talking to myself.

176
00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:13,580
Well, what are we going to do about it?

177
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,680
Just hope, I suppose, that she'll bungle
her second attempt as badly as she

178
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,680
bungled her first.

179
00:08:17,780 --> 00:08:18,860
Excuse me, I've got my work to do.

180
00:08:24,820 --> 00:08:27,720
Well, there's callousness for you, if
you like. Look, I've got to go.

181
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,260
Here's my number at the office. You can
call me there if...

182
00:08:33,530 --> 00:08:34,970
Oh. Should you be out of bed?

183
00:08:35,429 --> 00:08:36,890
I came out for a cigarette.

184
00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:39,610
There was a packet here last night, I
think.

185
00:08:40,250 --> 00:08:41,330
I know I brought some.

186
00:08:41,809 --> 00:08:42,809
Oh, yes, here they are.

187
00:08:46,590 --> 00:08:47,590
Thank you.

188
00:08:51,070 --> 00:08:52,029
You're Mr.

189
00:08:52,030 --> 00:08:53,030
Johnson, aren't you?

190
00:08:53,330 --> 00:08:55,050
Thompson. Oh, yes, of course. How silly.

191
00:08:55,350 --> 00:08:56,470
Good morning, Miss Maxwell.

192
00:08:56,770 --> 00:08:57,770
Good morning.

193
00:08:57,810 --> 00:09:00,170
Do you mind if I sit down? I still feel
a little strange.

194
00:09:00,770 --> 00:09:02,230
Don't you think you ought to go back to
bed?

195
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:04,440
No, I feel much better sitting up, thank
you.

196
00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:07,260
I'm so sorry for all the trouble I've
caused.

197
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,540
Idiotic accident, wasn't it?

198
00:09:09,820 --> 00:09:11,620
I don't know how it could possibly have
happened.

199
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:15,040
I'd been out to a film by myself, and I
came back here.

200
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,840
I remember thinking it was a bit chilly,
so I turned on the gas fire to light

201
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:19,719
it.

202
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,420
And then, as they say in novels, I knew
no more.

203
00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:26,920
I couldn't find the matches, I suppose,
and the fumes must have put me out.

204
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,040
Lucky for you, you didn't put a shilling
in the meter first.

205
00:09:30,540 --> 00:09:31,540
The meter?

206
00:09:31,550 --> 00:09:33,450
Yes, the gas cut itself off
automatically.

207
00:09:34,750 --> 00:09:36,350
Oh, that's what happened, is it?

208
00:09:37,130 --> 00:09:38,970
Yes. Yes, that was lucky.

209
00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:40,430
Certainly was.

210
00:09:40,930 --> 00:09:43,270
Well, Mrs. Page, forgive me. I've got to
go to work.

211
00:09:43,610 --> 00:09:45,470
Of course. Please don't let me keep
either of you.

212
00:09:45,830 --> 00:09:47,890
It's very good of you both to have done
all you have.

213
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:48,829
Well, goodbye.

214
00:09:48,830 --> 00:09:50,910
I hope it won't take you long to get
well again.

215
00:09:53,150 --> 00:09:54,150
Looking for something?

216
00:09:54,590 --> 00:09:56,710
Just a letter. I thought I left lying
around somewhere.

217
00:09:57,090 --> 00:09:58,090
Is this it?

218
00:09:58,490 --> 00:09:59,490
Yes, that's the one.

219
00:10:00,260 --> 00:10:01,720
Please don't let me keep you, Miss
Maxwell.

220
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:02,960
Oh, it's all right.

221
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,120
I've got nothing to do.

222
00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:06,040
I never have when Mr. Higgins is away.

223
00:10:06,300 --> 00:10:07,300
Mr. Higgins?

224
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,700
Oh, yes, of course, Mr. Higgins.

225
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,220
Besides, I've got something to tell you.

226
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,460
Oh? You see, Mrs. Page, when we found
you this morning, we had no idea where

227
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:19,459
Page was.

228
00:10:19,460 --> 00:10:20,460
Oh, hadn't you?

229
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:25,480
No. So, well, I felt we had to call
someone, and I did.

230
00:10:26,140 --> 00:10:27,140
Who?

231
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:28,560
Can't you guess?

232
00:10:30,110 --> 00:10:31,730
Who told you about him, Mrs Elton?

233
00:10:31,950 --> 00:10:34,870
Well, she... And what did you tell him?
I told him there'd been an accident.

234
00:10:35,070 --> 00:10:36,190
He's coming right round.

235
00:10:36,630 --> 00:10:40,450
I know you probably don't like what I've
done, but I'm not going to say I'm

236
00:10:40,450 --> 00:10:42,930
sorry. Miss Maxwell, you've been very
kind and I'm grateful.

237
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:46,410
Forgive me if I seem rude, but would you
mind leaving me now? Well, it was only

238
00:10:46,410 --> 00:10:48,470
that Mr Thompson and I thought it was
the right thing to do.

239
00:10:49,050 --> 00:10:50,450
Anyway, chin up, love.

240
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:53,250
There's nothing ever quite so bad, but
thinking makes it worse.

241
00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:19,420
Mrs. Elton?

242
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,920
Good morning, Mrs. Page.

243
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,079
Good morning.

244
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,080
Not dressed yet?

245
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,500
It's quite cold out today, you know.

246
00:11:35,940 --> 00:11:36,940
Yes, so I hear.

247
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:40,220
Mrs. Elton?

248
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:42,640
Mrs. Elton? Yes, coming.

249
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,500
Now, this is really silly, Mrs. Page.
Didn't you hear Mr. Miller?

250
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,440
Mrs. Elton, Sir William Collier may be
coming here. And if he does, I don't

251
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,600
to see him. Oh, Mrs. Page, I'm so sorry.
It wasn't my fault, really, it wasn't.

252
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,600
No, I quite understand.

253
00:11:55,620 --> 00:11:58,560
Will you please try and stop him from
coming up to the flat? It's important.

254
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,080
Don't worry, I'll do me best.

255
00:12:00,540 --> 00:12:04,040
I wish I could understand what it was
that possessed you to do a dreadful

256
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,040
like that.

257
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,440
What possessed me, Mrs. Elton?

258
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,060
The devil, I suppose.

259
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,360
I should just think it was.

260
00:12:09,860 --> 00:12:11,780
Not sure I meant quite that kind of
devil.

261
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,840
But when you're between any kind of
devil and the deep blue sea, the deep

262
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,340
sea sometimes looks very inviting.

263
00:12:18,350 --> 00:12:20,590
I did last night. I can't make you out.

264
00:12:20,930 --> 00:12:24,410
You're not a wicked woman. What you did
last night was wicked and cruel.

265
00:12:24,810 --> 00:12:28,370
Now, supposing it had been Mr. Page and
not you that we'd found lying there this

266
00:12:28,370 --> 00:12:29,750
morning, how would you have felt?

267
00:12:30,230 --> 00:12:31,230
Very, very surprised.

268
00:12:31,890 --> 00:12:32,890
Nothing more?

269
00:12:33,070 --> 00:12:35,390
Oh, yes, a lot more. A whole universe
more.

270
00:12:35,730 --> 00:12:38,170
But he's not lying there, Mrs. Elton.
He's playing golf.

271
00:12:38,490 --> 00:12:41,350
And when he comes back from golf, he
must know nothing of what happened last

272
00:12:41,350 --> 00:12:42,350
night. You understand?

273
00:12:42,550 --> 00:12:44,350
Nothing. I understand, Mrs. Page.

274
00:12:44,590 --> 00:12:45,970
Go in. It's always open.

275
00:12:46,860 --> 00:12:50,360
Excuse me, which is Mrs. Page's flat?
I'm sorry, sir. Mrs. Page is too ill.

276
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:51,360
You're all right, Mrs. Elton.

277
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,600
Are you all right? Quite all right.

278
00:12:53,820 --> 00:12:54,820
Well, what happened?

279
00:12:55,340 --> 00:12:57,660
How much did they tell you on the
telephone? Well, enough to save you the

280
00:12:57,660 --> 00:12:58,660
necessity of lying to me.

281
00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:01,100
Come on, Jenny. I think we'd better go
upstairs.

282
00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:06,700
I'm afraid it isn't exactly Versailles.

283
00:13:07,460 --> 00:13:11,280
One of Freddy's friends was sent away
suddenly, and I suppose we were very

284
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,280
to get anything.

285
00:13:12,740 --> 00:13:14,760
Anyway, I like the river, in spite of
the fog.

286
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:15,960
I always have.

287
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,520
Here we are.

288
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,320
Thank you.

289
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,120
It's nice to see you again, Bill.

290
00:13:23,700 --> 00:13:24,700
Thank you.

291
00:13:25,140 --> 00:13:26,340
It's nice to see you too.

292
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,440
You still look exactly the same.

293
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,420
Oh, I'm sorry. You so rarely used to
smoke.

294
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,480
I haven't changed a bit.

295
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Haven't I?

296
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,260
But why should you have?

297
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,220
It's only ten months, isn't it?

298
00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:43,820
I keep thinking it's so much longer.

299
00:13:44,380 --> 00:13:45,680
Has it seemed so much longer?

300
00:13:46,290 --> 00:13:47,290
Yes, Bill.

301
00:13:47,530 --> 00:13:48,530
Almost a lifetime.

302
00:13:49,790 --> 00:13:51,010
Oh, do sit down.

303
00:13:51,390 --> 00:13:54,910
Would you like a glass of sherry? I
remember you used to have one before

304
00:13:55,230 --> 00:13:56,970
Thank you. I know we had a bottle
somewhere.

305
00:13:59,430 --> 00:14:00,850
Oh, yes. Here it is.

306
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:03,790
I'm afraid it's from the local grocer.

307
00:14:04,770 --> 00:14:05,770
That's quite all right.

308
00:14:06,050 --> 00:14:07,310
I'm sure it'll be very nice.

309
00:14:08,810 --> 00:14:09,950
Has he deserted you?

310
00:14:10,810 --> 00:14:12,370
He's playing golf at Sunningdale.

311
00:14:12,890 --> 00:14:14,030
And he still loves you?

312
00:14:14,990 --> 00:14:16,610
As much as he did ten months ago.

313
00:14:17,170 --> 00:14:19,410
And you, you still love him?

314
00:14:20,490 --> 00:14:21,990
Yes, Bill, I still love him.

315
00:14:22,490 --> 00:14:23,490
Is it money?

316
00:14:23,970 --> 00:14:24,970
No, it isn't money.

317
00:14:25,170 --> 00:14:26,270
He's still got his job, then?

318
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:28,610
Well, not as a test pilot. He's given
that up.

319
00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:30,150
He's working in the city now.

320
00:14:30,450 --> 00:14:31,449
Oh.

321
00:14:31,450 --> 00:14:33,450
And they allow him to play golf on
Mondays.

322
00:14:33,950 --> 00:14:35,410
You're on the wrong track, Bill.

323
00:14:36,290 --> 00:14:38,930
All right, all right, he hasn't got a
job.

324
00:14:39,390 --> 00:14:40,750
We do owe him months' rent.

325
00:14:40,970 --> 00:14:44,090
But still... I'm trying to ask you the
reason for what you did last night.

326
00:14:44,730 --> 00:14:47,750
Let's say I did it while the balance of
my mind was temporarily disturbed.

327
00:14:48,810 --> 00:14:52,550
That's the legal phrase, isn't it? Yes.
Then tell me what it was that disturbed

328
00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:53,990
the balance of your mind.

329
00:14:54,270 --> 00:14:57,590
Cross -examination was always your
strongest point, wasn't it, Bill?

330
00:14:57,610 --> 00:14:58,690
Hester, what was it?

331
00:14:59,510 --> 00:15:00,510
Oh, dear.

332
00:15:01,290 --> 00:15:02,430
Oh, dear, I don't know.

333
00:15:03,010 --> 00:15:05,290
A great tidal wave of illogical
emotions.

334
00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:07,570
Can you give a name to those emotions?

335
00:15:08,350 --> 00:15:09,470
Yes, I suppose so.

336
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:13,410
Anger, hatred, shame, in about equal
parts, I think.

337
00:15:13,770 --> 00:15:14,770
Anger at page?

338
00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:17,030
Yes. And hatred?

339
00:15:18,010 --> 00:15:19,010
Myself, of course.

340
00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:20,430
Shame at being alive.

341
00:15:21,250 --> 00:15:22,250
I see.

342
00:15:23,310 --> 00:15:24,310
Do you, Bill?

343
00:15:24,770 --> 00:15:25,810
No, I don't.

344
00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:29,750
Problems of human nature are supposed to
be my speciality. I ought to be able to

345
00:15:29,750 --> 00:15:32,070
understand. And yet here I'm utterly at
sea.

346
00:15:32,390 --> 00:15:33,530
What can't you understand?

347
00:15:33,910 --> 00:15:37,730
How you, who could surely still find
love wherever you chose to look for it,

348
00:15:37,730 --> 00:15:41,210
you can go on loving a man who, quite
obviously, can give you nothing in

349
00:15:42,699 --> 00:15:44,460
Oh, but he can give me something in
return.

350
00:15:45,020 --> 00:15:46,980
And even does from time to time. What?

351
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:49,760
Himself.

352
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,240
You haven't had your drink, Bill.

353
00:15:56,660 --> 00:15:57,660
Oh, thank you.

354
00:15:58,140 --> 00:15:59,140
Did you do that?

355
00:15:59,380 --> 00:16:03,000
Yes. It isn't a genteel hobby anymore. I
get paid for it now.

356
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,120
I might sell that one to Baird and
Holloway.

357
00:16:05,380 --> 00:16:08,200
I ran into Angus Baird the other day. He
told me that you'd worked for him for a

358
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,159
time in his shop.

359
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,180
He said you were rather good. Why did
you give it up?

360
00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:13,350
Oh, I don't know. Many reasons.

361
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:16,790
I hope you like it, Bill. You never
cared much for my things before.

362
00:16:16,990 --> 00:16:18,570
I like it so much, I'd like to buy it.

363
00:16:18,810 --> 00:16:21,510
Oh, please, Bill. I wanted your
approval, not your money.

364
00:16:22,390 --> 00:16:23,390
Who is it? Miller.

365
00:16:23,710 --> 00:16:24,669
May I come in?

366
00:16:24,670 --> 00:16:27,310
Oh, that's the man who looked after me
this morning. I'd better let him in.

367
00:16:27,510 --> 00:16:32,710
I see you don't care for your bed.

368
00:16:33,210 --> 00:16:35,650
Thanks to your administration, Mr.
Miller, I feel perfectly well.

369
00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:37,930
This is Sir William Carter, Mr. Miller.

370
00:16:38,290 --> 00:16:40,210
Come over here to the light. Let me look
at you.

371
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,640
finger, please.

372
00:16:55,380 --> 00:16:56,720
Yes, you have a strong constitution.

373
00:16:56,980 --> 00:16:58,100
You should live to a ripe old age.

374
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,080
Barring accidents, of course. Barring
accidents, of course.

375
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,980
Forgive me, I left some of my things in
your bedroom. May I collect them? Oh,

376
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,000
I'll fetch them for you.

377
00:17:05,020 --> 00:17:06,020
Excuse me, Bill.

378
00:17:06,579 --> 00:17:07,760
The syringe is in the bathroom.

379
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,160
I'm extremely grateful to you, Mr.

380
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,440
Miller, for all you did this morning for
my... for Mrs. Page.

381
00:17:15,740 --> 00:17:16,740
You needn't be.

382
00:17:17,050 --> 00:17:18,730
I did very little for Mrs. Page.

383
00:17:18,930 --> 00:17:21,410
May I ask you, Mr. Miller, if you're a
qualified medical practitioner?

384
00:17:21,849 --> 00:17:22,970
You may. The answer is no.

385
00:17:23,569 --> 00:17:27,810
Oh. I only ask the question because a
qualified doctor in a case of this

386
00:17:27,810 --> 00:17:30,790
delicate kind is strictly bound by a
certain code.

387
00:17:30,990 --> 00:17:33,630
Yes, I have heard of it. It's much the
same as the English schoolboy's code,

388
00:17:33,710 --> 00:17:34,710
isn't it? No sneaking.

389
00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:36,569
Don't worry, Sir William.

390
00:17:36,570 --> 00:17:37,570
I won't sneak.

391
00:17:37,670 --> 00:17:39,510
I'm glad we understand each other. No,
thank you.

392
00:17:40,030 --> 00:17:43,110
Now, I take it you would agree with me
that Mrs. Page should really be in bed

393
00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:44,410
under proper medical supervision?

394
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:45,870
You take it quite incorrectly, Sir
William.

395
00:17:46,780 --> 00:17:48,360
If she wants to be on her feet, she
should be.

396
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,180
And the help she needs at the moment is
hardly medical.

397
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,020
I hope you'll find everything there.

398
00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:56,100
Thank you.

399
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,600
Good day, Mrs. Page.

400
00:18:01,020 --> 00:18:02,020
Thank you, Doctor.

401
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,340
According to that gentleman, you're as
right as rain.

402
00:18:06,780 --> 00:18:07,780
Let's hope he's to be trusted.

403
00:18:08,180 --> 00:18:09,159
Oh, I think so.

404
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,540
He looks far too much like a blackmailer
to be one. I wish I could be as sure.

405
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,980
You know, I really do admire that very
much, and I don't see why Baird and

406
00:18:15,980 --> 00:18:18,160
Holloway should be the ones... Well,
then you shall have it, Bill.

407
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,900
But as a present. Oh, I couldn't
possibly... Please, Bill.

408
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,280
I can see this is not the time to argue
with you.

409
00:18:23,540 --> 00:18:24,539
No.

410
00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:25,580
Don't you think you ought to be going?

411
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,880
I don't want to commit contempt of court
by making you late. Oh, of course.

412
00:18:29,140 --> 00:18:31,860
As a matter of fact, Miss Wilson has
already telephoned the court to warn

413
00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:33,380
I'd be a bit late. How is Miss Wilson?

414
00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:36,980
I bet she's been pounding that
typewriter with a positive peon of

415
00:18:36,980 --> 00:18:39,860
I left. There is perhaps a certain added
flourish to her style.

416
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,060
Hester, when can I see you again?

417
00:18:45,060 --> 00:18:46,060
I don't know.

418
00:18:46,420 --> 00:18:47,420
It's awfully difficult.

419
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,040
What time are you expecting paid back?

420
00:18:49,660 --> 00:18:51,100
Seven, seven -thirty, maybe later.

421
00:18:51,540 --> 00:18:53,140
Could you have tea with me after court?

422
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,780
Are you sure you really want me to?

423
00:18:56,060 --> 00:18:57,060
Quite sure.

424
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,200
About five?

425
00:18:59,820 --> 00:19:03,180
Five -twenty. Main lobby, usual person.
Thank you very much for my present.

426
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,920
Which reminds me, many happy returns of
yesterday.

427
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:07,900
Thank you.

428
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,040
If I'd known where you were, I'd have
sent you a present.

429
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,020
I've had far too many presents from you,
Bill, and given you far too little in

430
00:19:14,020 --> 00:19:17,080
return. And now you've just done
something else which makes me even more

431
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,340
grateful to you than ever. What's that?

432
00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:21,700
You haven't said I told you so. And
heaven knows you had every right.

433
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,200
Well, goodbye.

434
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:27,360
Goodbye.

435
00:19:27,660 --> 00:19:28,660
Oh, Mrs. Page.

436
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,760
I was wondering if you'd like me to do
anything for you. No, thank you. Oh,

437
00:19:32,820 --> 00:19:34,260
well, I just thought I'd ask.

438
00:19:34,780 --> 00:19:37,580
This is the William Carlyle, Miss Dawn
Maxwell. How do you do? We've already

439
00:19:37,580 --> 00:19:39,120
spoken to each other, haven't we? Oh.

440
00:19:39,610 --> 00:19:42,390
Oh, yes, yes. Yes, I thought it was
best, you know, looking at it from all

441
00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:44,570
angles. I do hope I did right.

442
00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:47,670
You're quite right. I'm very grateful,
sir. Sir William has to get to court.

443
00:19:47,670 --> 00:19:49,670
yes, of course. You mustn't miss your
entrance, must you?

444
00:19:49,890 --> 00:19:51,630
Entrance? Miss Maxwell is on the stage.

445
00:19:51,910 --> 00:19:52,449
Oh, indeed.

446
00:19:52,450 --> 00:19:55,310
Oh, well, I used to be. I'm a bit
between engagements at the moment. But

447
00:19:55,310 --> 00:19:56,890
worrying, really. Not with one thing and
another.

448
00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:58,510
Indeed. Oh, good morning.

449
00:19:59,330 --> 00:20:00,870
Oh, this is striking, isn't it?

450
00:20:01,190 --> 00:20:03,790
I mean, one doesn't expect a judge to
look like that, does one?

451
00:20:04,590 --> 00:20:07,810
Well, I don't know, really. I don't...
What don't you know?

452
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,020
How you could possibly... Now, you don't
mind my being blunt with you, do you?

453
00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:14,820
But how you could possibly throw
yourself away with... Oh, well, I

454
00:20:14,820 --> 00:20:15,820
shouldn't say that, really.

455
00:20:16,180 --> 00:20:18,400
Tracker and arse on go, as Mr Higgins
always said.

456
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,200
But it just goes to prove one thing that
I've known all along.

457
00:20:21,500 --> 00:20:25,360
That you no more fit into this place
than... than I do into Park Lane.

458
00:20:35,470 --> 00:20:39,230
And this lorry comes round the corner
and as near as touch scrapes the offside

459
00:20:39,230 --> 00:20:42,470
bumper. Then he shouted at me. I thought
you must have heard it, sir, from

460
00:20:42,470 --> 00:20:43,469
inside. What?

461
00:20:43,470 --> 00:20:44,470
No, I didn't.

462
00:20:45,290 --> 00:20:48,670
You haven't said I told you, sir. Good
as knows you had every right.

463
00:20:49,170 --> 00:20:50,490
I suppose I did, didn't I?

464
00:20:50,770 --> 00:20:51,770
I beg your pardon, sir?

465
00:20:52,510 --> 00:20:53,510
Oh, nothing.

466
00:20:53,750 --> 00:20:54,830
Go on with what you were saying.

467
00:20:55,050 --> 00:20:58,590
I was saying, Sir William, it reminded
me of that time in the Whitechapel...

468
00:20:58,590 --> 00:20:59,710
It's only ten months, isn't it?

469
00:21:00,250 --> 00:21:04,130
How could you love a man who is morally
and intellectually a mile your inferior?

470
00:21:04,590 --> 00:21:06,510
There's no way I can answer that, Bill.

471
00:21:07,410 --> 00:21:09,750
Anyway, it has nothing whatever to do
with my feelings for him.

472
00:21:10,410 --> 00:21:13,870
Your feelings for him seem to me to
amount to no more than a plain and

473
00:21:13,870 --> 00:21:18,150
sordid infatuation, which for a woman in
your position is, to say the least of

474
00:21:18,150 --> 00:21:21,530
it, a little undignified. A little
undignified.

475
00:21:21,790 --> 00:21:24,150
Thank you, Bill, for that nice judicial
understatement.

476
00:21:24,540 --> 00:21:27,660
Do you think I'm not fully conscious of
what you and all my friends, or rather

477
00:21:27,660 --> 00:21:31,160
your friends, think of me? And I suppose
the whole damn dignified world. Well,

478
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,140
then, for heaven's sake, let him go.
Have you no willpower at all?

479
00:21:34,380 --> 00:21:35,380
Yes, Bill, I have.

480
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:37,120
Well, then. More than most women, I
think.

481
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:39,940
It's stronger than my will, that's all.

482
00:21:40,420 --> 00:21:44,800
Hester, in the whole of our 15 years, I
doubt if I've ever said an angry word to

483
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,160
you. Oh, for goodness sake, be angry,
Bill. I'd much rather you were. But you

484
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,060
all people, I simply can't believe it.
No, Hester, I am not going to let you do

485
00:21:53,060 --> 00:21:54,080
it. If you think...

486
00:21:54,460 --> 00:21:58,320
Yes? Two minutes, Sir William. Shall I
robe you? No, thank you. Very good, sir.

487
00:21:59,420 --> 00:22:00,420
I'm sorry.

488
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,880
There's nothing to be gained by losing
tempers.

489
00:22:03,180 --> 00:22:06,760
I think we'd better put off the
hindrances tonight and dine quietly at

490
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,140
can discuss the whole situation calmly.
I told you, Bill, tonight I shall be in

491
00:22:10,140 --> 00:22:11,240
an aeroplane over the Atlantic.

492
00:22:11,740 --> 00:22:13,540
That, of course, is quite out of the
question.

493
00:22:13,940 --> 00:22:15,780
I'm sorry, but I'm due in court now.

494
00:22:16,140 --> 00:22:19,300
And the least you can do is to agree
with me that this is a matter which will

495
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:21,380
have to be most carefully and
dispassionately weighed.

496
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:22,920
But I have weighed it, Bill.

497
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:26,340
I've waited almost every hour of every
day for the last three months.

498
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,160
Carefully and dispassionately? As far as
that was possible, yes.

499
00:22:30,420 --> 00:22:33,300
And the conclusion you came to was that
a half hour's talk in a lunch break

500
00:22:33,300 --> 00:22:35,660
would be enough to end a marriage of 15
years?

501
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,580
Bill, I told you only, I don't think
you've listened. I told you that... Two

502
00:22:39,580 --> 00:22:40,580
'clock, sir, will you? Yes, I'm ready.

503
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,760
Look, my dear, if after three weeks or
so you're still feeling the same way,

504
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,640
shall have my permission to go, I
promise you.

505
00:22:47,300 --> 00:22:50,500
In the meantime, it's an old principle
of English justice, isn't it, that a man

506
00:22:50,500 --> 00:22:51,940
is innocent until he's proved guilty?

507
00:22:53,340 --> 00:22:57,340
Hester, if I... Well, if as a husband
I've let you down in some way... You

508
00:22:57,340 --> 00:22:59,680
haven't, Bill, you haven't. Well,
plainly, I must have.

509
00:23:00,140 --> 00:23:03,280
But at least you have to give me the
chance to prove to you the innocence of

510
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,680
intent. I'm sorry, Sir William. Yes, I'm
just coming.

511
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:07,800
Would you mind telephoning the
Hendersons?

512
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:09,300
Think of some excuse.

513
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:11,360
I'll come straight home after court.

514
00:23:13,220 --> 00:23:16,240
Mr. Simmons, Mr. Blake, Mr. Farnham,
court three.

515
00:23:16,780 --> 00:23:17,940
Will you come this way, please?

516
00:23:19,340 --> 00:23:21,580
Silence! Be upstanding in court.

517
00:23:37,620 --> 00:23:44,340
Ladies and gentlemen, before the
adjournment, I've got to the point where

518
00:23:44,340 --> 00:23:48,100
reminded you that the defense has at no
time attempted to rebut the evidence of

519
00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:51,440
the prosecution that this woman was seen
to steal these articles from the shop.

520
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,180
The defense, therefore, rests solely on
the question of the state of mind of the

521
00:23:56,180 --> 00:24:00,740
accused, on the question, as you might
call it, of uncontrollable impulse.

522
00:24:01,820 --> 00:24:04,780
Now, you've heard medical evidence which
claims that this woman is suffering

523
00:24:04,780 --> 00:24:06,960
from what is virtually a disease of the
mind.

524
00:24:07,620 --> 00:24:09,080
Kleptomania, as it is called.

525
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:15,500
Now, as men and women of common sense,
you will see how dangerous in law is

526
00:24:15,500 --> 00:24:19,620
conception that crime may be excused by
the plea of uncontrollable impulse. Any

527
00:24:19,620 --> 00:24:21,120
criminal may make such an excuse.

528
00:24:21,340 --> 00:24:23,800
I don't know what came over me. I never
meant to do it.

529
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,020
Something happened that was stronger
than my will.

530
00:24:26,420 --> 00:24:30,480
The law must guard itself against such
pleas, and the law on this point is

531
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:31,479
clear.

532
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:36,000
Did this woman know what she was doing
at the time she did it? If she did, did

533
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,120
she know that it was wrong?

534
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,780
Now, ladies and gentlemen, those are the
two questions you will have to decide.

535
00:24:41,060 --> 00:24:43,720
And they are so important that I think I
should repeat them.

536
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,920
Did this woman know what she was doing
at the time she did it?

537
00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:49,360
If she did...

538
00:25:01,490 --> 00:25:02,490
Goodbye, Bill.

539
00:25:02,910 --> 00:25:04,570
I pray one day you'll understand.

540
00:25:07,950 --> 00:25:08,950
Good morning, Sir William.

541
00:25:10,230 --> 00:25:11,230
Good morning, Sir William.

542
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:13,030
I'm sorry, but good morning.

543
00:25:13,250 --> 00:25:14,950
Weathered out nice again, hasn't it?
Yes.

544
00:25:15,550 --> 00:25:18,310
I'll need you about five. Check with
Gibbs, will you? Right, sir. Oh, by the

545
00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:20,090
way, what was the name of the place we
went to this morning?

546
00:25:20,410 --> 00:25:23,330
Weybridge Road, sir. It's on the corner
of Gregg Street. Weybridge Road.

547
00:25:33,270 --> 00:25:34,229
Wizard Drive.

548
00:25:34,230 --> 00:25:37,250
Okay. If you'll only get that ignition
fixed, you'll get a hundred out of her.

549
00:25:37,570 --> 00:25:38,570
You will.

550
00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:39,970
You might have to lose.

551
00:25:40,190 --> 00:25:41,190
See you.

552
00:25:41,710 --> 00:25:42,910
Put your foot down, Jackie.

553
00:25:47,230 --> 00:25:48,230
Morning, Mrs.

554
00:25:49,090 --> 00:25:50,110
Elton. How's everything?

555
00:25:51,810 --> 00:25:54,050
Morning, Mrs. Elton. Good morning, Mr.
Page.

556
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,440
93 MPH down the Great West Road.

557
00:26:15,060 --> 00:26:17,060
Bangua. Poor smashing job.

558
00:26:17,540 --> 00:26:18,820
Jackie Jackson gave me a lift.

559
00:26:19,140 --> 00:26:21,200
We gave up the idea of the golf because
it started to rain.

560
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,800
It's pouring down in Sunningdale. Did
you have a good weekend?

561
00:26:24,220 --> 00:26:24,959
Oh, not bad.

562
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:26,040
I won both my matches.

563
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,620
I took a fiver off Jackie. Match and
bye.

564
00:26:28,940 --> 00:26:30,180
Ha! He was livid.

565
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,460
I wanted to double the stakes, but he
wouldn't wear it. How much did you win

566
00:26:33,460 --> 00:26:34,640
altogether? Seven quid.

567
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:36,400
Can I have some of it for Mrs. Elton?

568
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,080
Oh, I thought you were going to sell
that screen thing.

569
00:26:38,340 --> 00:26:39,340
I've given it away.

570
00:26:39,620 --> 00:26:41,820
Well, that was a ruddy silly thing to go
and do, wasn't it?

571
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,080
Yes, I suppose it was.

572
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,220
Oh, heck, all right. You can have three.

573
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:47,380
I need the rest to pay off a bill at the
club.

574
00:26:49,140 --> 00:26:50,140
Hey, Hess.

575
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,160
Do you realise you haven't looked at me
once since I came in?

576
00:26:53,420 --> 00:26:54,379
Haven't I, Freddy?

577
00:26:54,380 --> 00:26:55,380
Why is that?

578
00:26:55,580 --> 00:26:56,980
I can remember what you look like.

579
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,700
Well, I haven't done anything, have I?

580
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,480
No, Freddy, you haven't done anything.

581
00:27:00,860 --> 00:27:03,360
Well, you're not peeved about my staying
down last night, are you?

582
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,440
I mean, there wasn't any special reason
why you wanted me back to dinner last

583
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,440
night, was there?

584
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:10,520
Hang it.

585
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,320
Many happy returns.

586
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,619
Thank you, Betty.

587
00:27:13,620 --> 00:27:14,620
Oh,

588
00:27:14,820 --> 00:27:16,060
I remembered it on Saturday, too.

589
00:27:17,100 --> 00:27:19,180
Jackie Jackson and I were driving past
Barker's.

590
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,260
I thought it's too late to get her a
present now.

591
00:27:21,540 --> 00:27:23,160
I get to find a shop open on Sunday.

592
00:27:23,420 --> 00:27:24,420
Cigarettes or something.

593
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,480
Oh, Hess.

594
00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:27,920
Did you arrange anything special for
dinner?

595
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,420
No, nothing special. Just a chicken and
a bottle of carrot.

596
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:31,840
Oh, we have it tonight?

597
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:32,920
Yes.

598
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,300
Oh, come on now, Hess. No more sulks,
please.

599
00:27:37,060 --> 00:27:38,100
I said I'm sorry.

600
00:27:38,340 --> 00:27:39,400
Can't say more, can I?

601
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,000
No, Freddy, you can't say more.

602
00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:45,380
Hey, give us a shot of those gorgeous
green orbs. I haven't seen them for two

603
00:27:45,380 --> 00:27:46,359
whole days.

604
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:47,920
This is me, Freddy Page.

605
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:49,280
Remember?

606
00:27:49,700 --> 00:27:51,000
Yes, I remember.

607
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,000
Oh, Freddy!

608
00:27:53,260 --> 00:27:55,580
Come on, little girl, snap out of it.

609
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:57,400
I'm here, aren't I?

610
00:27:57,740 --> 00:28:00,180
Oh, my love. Hey, yes, what's the
matter?

611
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:02,460
Silly to suck with you, Freddy.

612
00:28:11,820 --> 00:28:12,820
limited Pimlico branch.

613
00:28:13,540 --> 00:28:14,580
Yes, Mr. Pickering, yes.

614
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,680
Mabel's Joy is listed as a likely runner
for 230.

615
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,280
Right.

616
00:28:20,420 --> 00:28:22,980
Yes, Mr. Pickering. Five pounds each
way, Mabel's Joy.

617
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:26,260
Ten shillings mixed doubles, favorite
Nottingham.

618
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,380
Right. Come in. It's open.

619
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:30,600
Let's see. 17 pounds, 10 invested.

620
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,340
Excuse me. Oh, just a moment, Maxwell.

621
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:35,220
Hold on, Mr. Pickering.

622
00:28:36,820 --> 00:28:38,240
Very limited Pimlico branch.

623
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:41,440
Oh, yes, Mr. Bradway. Just a moment. I
have a client on the other line.

624
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,280
Yes, Mr. McQueen?

625
00:28:43,940 --> 00:28:46,520
One pound to win Rolling Stone.

626
00:28:46,780 --> 00:28:48,360
Eighteen pounds to be invested. Right,
thank you.

627
00:28:49,420 --> 00:28:50,420
I'm sorry, Mr. Bradway.

628
00:28:50,940 --> 00:28:51,940
I'll investigate.

629
00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:53,300
Thank you, Mr. Bradway.

630
00:28:54,220 --> 00:28:56,200
Mrs. Maxwell, I'm sorry. I'm rather
busy.

631
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,219
What's this?

632
00:28:57,220 --> 00:28:58,600
The frontal view of a human brain.

633
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,120
What's the human brain got to do with
horse racing?

634
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,520
Very little, in my opinion.

635
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,400
What did you want to see me about?

636
00:29:05,260 --> 00:29:06,560
Manic depressive disease.

637
00:29:07,420 --> 00:29:10,180
You've got a queer kind of a hobby for a
bookmaker, I must say. She's amazed how

638
00:29:10,180 --> 00:29:11,180
useful it can be sometimes.

639
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,480
What can I do for him?

640
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,400
Well, it's just that... Well, I came to
tell you that Mr. Page is back.

641
00:29:16,700 --> 00:29:17,659
Yes?

642
00:29:17,660 --> 00:29:19,080
Well, I thought you'd be interested,
that's all.

643
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:22,540
Why? Well, he's bound to suspect there's
something wrong and there might be the

644
00:29:22,540 --> 00:29:23,540
most terrible trouble.

645
00:29:23,660 --> 00:29:30,620
I thought... Rayford Limited, Pimblicker
Branch.

646
00:29:31,540 --> 00:29:32,540
Oh, yes, Miss Brown.

647
00:29:33,300 --> 00:29:36,320
Yes. Ten shillings each way, Angola. Mm
-hmm.

648
00:29:37,620 --> 00:29:38,620
Yes, I'll hold on.

649
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,800
Look, Miss Maxwell, if you come up here
for my advice, I suggest it would be

650
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,580
better for you not to interfere in other
people's troubles, or if it comes to

651
00:29:45,580 --> 00:29:46,580
that, other people's business.

652
00:29:46,780 --> 00:29:47,780
Good day, Miss Maxwell.

653
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:49,120
Yes, Mr. Brown.

654
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,640
One pound to win Ecuador, right?

655
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,560
Is that all? Two pounds invested?

656
00:29:54,140 --> 00:29:55,140
Right, Mr. Brown.

657
00:30:18,730 --> 00:30:20,510
Mrs. Page, I'm so sorry. I didn't know
you were back.

658
00:30:20,710 --> 00:30:23,170
I was just wondering whether Mrs. Page
would like to read this week's picture

659
00:30:23,170 --> 00:30:24,390
post. Who's that, Freddie?

660
00:30:24,650 --> 00:30:25,650
It's Miss Maxwell.

661
00:30:25,690 --> 00:30:27,430
She's bought you a copy of... Picture
post.

662
00:30:28,130 --> 00:30:29,550
How are you feeling now? Better?

663
00:30:30,150 --> 00:30:32,150
Much better, thank you. Oh, good. I'm so
glad.

664
00:30:32,750 --> 00:30:35,250
Well, I won't keep you. I'm sorry to
intrude. It's quite by accident.

665
00:30:36,790 --> 00:30:38,210
What's all this about you feeling
better?

666
00:30:38,690 --> 00:30:41,590
Oh, I just had a bit of a headache this
morning and she lent me some aspirin.

667
00:30:41,610 --> 00:30:43,410
Oh, bad luck. I thought you looked a bit
off colour.

668
00:30:43,650 --> 00:30:44,650
Hey, Hess.

669
00:30:44,690 --> 00:30:47,250
How's about some of that chicken you
cooked last night? I'm feeling a bit

670
00:30:47,250 --> 00:30:48,710
hungry. In the larder? Wizzo.

671
00:30:49,910 --> 00:30:51,710
Darling? Yes? It's today Monday.

672
00:30:51,990 --> 00:30:52,529
Yes, what?

673
00:30:52,530 --> 00:30:55,730
What about that man from the American
Aircraft Company about that job for you?

674
00:30:55,730 --> 00:30:57,330
Gosh, yes. Lunch at the Ritz, wasn't it?

675
00:30:57,910 --> 00:30:59,550
Freddy, would you mind awfully going by
yourself?

676
00:30:59,810 --> 00:31:00,769
What? Solo?

677
00:31:00,770 --> 00:31:02,030
Me? Not on your life.

678
00:31:02,670 --> 00:31:04,130
I'm not going on this hop by myself.

679
00:31:04,570 --> 00:31:06,430
Well, it's only that I don't really...
Now, listen, Hess.

680
00:31:06,850 --> 00:31:07,970
It's wing to wing or nothing.

681
00:31:09,090 --> 00:31:09,929
All right, then.

682
00:31:09,930 --> 00:31:12,890
Wing to wing. Now, hurry up, old girl. I
tell you what, we'll have a quick one

683
00:31:12,890 --> 00:31:13,890
on the way down to celebrate.

684
00:31:15,489 --> 00:31:16,610
Hess, still love me?

685
00:31:17,750 --> 00:31:18,750
I still love you.

686
00:31:19,450 --> 00:31:21,270
And darling, look your best, won't you?

687
00:31:21,510 --> 00:31:22,510
I'll try.

688
00:31:23,130 --> 00:31:24,550
And Hess, do me a favor, will you?

689
00:31:25,350 --> 00:31:28,270
Don't shoot another of your lines about
me to this bloke. You know, that Battle

690
00:31:28,270 --> 00:31:30,390
of Britain stuff, all that old Spitfire
bull.

691
00:31:30,890 --> 00:31:31,890
Promise?

692
00:31:32,990 --> 00:31:33,990
Hess, do you hear me?

693
00:31:34,530 --> 00:31:35,570
Yes, I heard you.

694
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:39,070
Hey,

695
00:31:40,290 --> 00:31:41,109
I'm out of cigarettes.

696
00:31:41,110 --> 00:31:42,110
You got any?

697
00:31:42,270 --> 00:31:43,270
Crazy gun pocket.

698
00:31:43,950 --> 00:31:46,870
Where? Dressing gown pocket hanging on
the door. Ah.

699
00:31:50,790 --> 00:31:51,790
You got them?

700
00:31:54,410 --> 00:31:55,410
What?

701
00:31:55,730 --> 00:31:56,730
Yes, I got them.

702
00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:05,190
Baby, don't you think you ought to wear
a clean shirt?

703
00:32:05,390 --> 00:32:06,390
There's one in the dog drawer.

704
00:32:16,940 --> 00:32:18,820
I said there was a clean shirt in the
top drawer.

705
00:32:19,580 --> 00:32:21,100
I washed it out last night.

706
00:32:22,340 --> 00:32:23,340
Ready.

707
00:32:46,380 --> 00:32:47,380
Good morning, Mr. Page.

708
00:32:49,620 --> 00:32:51,500
Dicer, whiskey, double.

709
00:32:51,820 --> 00:32:52,820
Watch it, Freddy.

710
00:32:54,940 --> 00:32:56,380
You're taking off early this Monday.

711
00:32:57,340 --> 00:32:58,920
How did I get into this?

712
00:32:59,540 --> 00:33:01,140
Come again, old boy. I didn't quite
catch it.

713
00:33:01,460 --> 00:33:02,460
I didn't say anything.

714
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,140
I'm sorry. I thought you did.

715
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,280
Oh, for Pete's sake, what are you doing?

716
00:33:06,580 --> 00:33:09,340
Well, that's how you usually like it.
Well, it's not how I like it today. Put

717
00:33:09,340 --> 00:33:10,340
another one in there.

718
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:12,480
Well, they're your ulcers, old boy, not
mine.

719
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:13,719
Try, sir.

720
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,920
Give Jackie Jackson a buzz and ask him
to come over right away, will you? Well,

721
00:33:16,940 --> 00:33:19,860
it's almost lunchtime, old boy. He's a
family man. Well, tell him I must see

722
00:33:19,860 --> 00:33:20,860
him. It's important.

723
00:33:21,140 --> 00:33:22,140
All right.

724
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,940
Peter, pop down in the cellar and bring
up some more sodas.

725
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:32,680
How the heck did I get into this?

726
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,780
Orange juice as usual, Mr. Page. And
what for you, Sir William?

727
00:33:38,060 --> 00:33:40,400
Gin and tonic, if I may. A small one.
Right.

728
00:33:40,670 --> 00:33:43,810
Vicky, small gin and tonic for Sir
William. Make mine a tomato juice. Very

729
00:33:43,850 --> 00:33:47,030
sir. Out before sundown is not too good
for the old nerve and judgment.

730
00:33:47,850 --> 00:33:48,850
Are you flying this afternoon?

731
00:33:49,090 --> 00:33:50,090
Yeah. The weather's okay.

732
00:33:50,370 --> 00:33:52,330
I'm testing one of those vertical take
-off jobs.

733
00:33:52,550 --> 00:33:55,490
You know, leave your tummy on the
ground, close your eyes till you hit

734
00:33:55,730 --> 00:33:58,990
Not my form at all. I don't often bring
this up, but I was in the RF2, you know.

735
00:33:59,110 --> 00:34:01,510
Huh? Unfortunately, they put me in the
judge advocate's department.

736
00:34:01,850 --> 00:34:02,850
Here's my wife.

737
00:34:03,030 --> 00:34:04,610
The worst driver in Christendom.

738
00:34:05,740 --> 00:34:08,719
I must say it's quite hard to keep up
with the progress in aviation since my

739
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:09,719
day. Progress?

740
00:34:10,420 --> 00:34:13,239
I'll swap you a supersonic jet for a
ropeo gladiator any time.

741
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,239
Excuse me.

742
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,639
Well, this is Mr. Page. A very kind of
gave me a game.

743
00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:22,900
I wish I could say I'd given him one.
Share him a lady? No, thank you, Mickey.

744
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,540
Hurry up, darling, or we'll be late for
the Marsden. Oh, let me see. How much

745
00:34:25,540 --> 00:34:28,199
away are you? I think we said a couple,
didn't we, sir? Yes, and the buy makes

746
00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:31,100
three. You've been eating my husband in
bad ways, Mr. Page.

747
00:34:31,340 --> 00:34:33,060
Morning, all. Morning, Ted. Take your
gin, Mickey.

748
00:34:33,340 --> 00:34:36,440
Yes, sir. I had a wizard run a luck
lady, Collier. Don't you believe it.

749
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,699
husband has just been taken to the
sharpest operator in the club. Next

750
00:34:39,699 --> 00:34:41,199
half a crown, not a penny more, please.

751
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,440
Come on, darling. Goodbye.

752
00:34:42,739 --> 00:34:43,960
Goodbye. Thank you again. Goodbye, sir.

753
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,719
Quite a looker, that, don't you think,
Freddie? Not bad, I suppose.

754
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,659
For a judge's wife, I mean. Not
interested, old boy. You know me.

755
00:34:50,860 --> 00:34:52,659
Little Freddie always tears clear of the
married ones.

756
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,040
Press on.

757
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,080
was, of course, the breaking of the
sound barrier.

758
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:06,660
The pilot is Mr. Clark.

759
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,280
This next aircraft you are watching is
the Hawker Hunter.

760
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:14,140
Look, darling, there's another. A
transonic swept -wing single -seat day

761
00:35:14,140 --> 00:35:18,120
which temporarily held the airspeed
record at 727 miles an hour.

762
00:35:18,340 --> 00:35:21,960
At high altitudes, the Hunter, with its
Rolls -Royce Avon jet engine, is a

763
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:22,960
highly maneuverable aircraft.

764
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:26,820
Now, ladies and gentlemen, up above you,
you can see a strange white aircraft

765
00:35:26,820 --> 00:35:29,320
which is the latest Avro Vulcan Delta
wing bomber.

766
00:35:29,950 --> 00:35:33,530
Notice the absence of tailplane flaps,
slots, and other high -lift devices.

767
00:35:34,030 --> 00:35:38,210
The next aircraft now approaching from
your right is the Jet Propheced. It's

768
00:35:38,210 --> 00:35:41,950
built in this country by Hunting
Percival and has an Armstrong Siddeley

769
00:35:41,950 --> 00:35:42,729
jet engine.

770
00:35:42,730 --> 00:35:44,310
It's flown today by Mr. Page.

771
00:35:45,070 --> 00:35:46,830
Oh, this is Page, Freddie Page,
remember?

772
00:35:47,190 --> 00:35:50,870
It's being developed so that pilots can
start to fly without knowing what a

773
00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:51,870
propeller is.

774
00:35:52,110 --> 00:35:53,230
That's Freddie, isn't it?

775
00:35:53,470 --> 00:35:54,690
Yes, that's Page, all right.

776
00:35:54,990 --> 00:35:56,170
Up to his tricks again.

777
00:35:57,230 --> 00:35:59,530
And as you can see, it's highly
aerobatic.

778
00:36:05,190 --> 00:36:09,350
Well, ladies and gentlemen, the flying
part of today's programme is now over.

779
00:36:16,410 --> 00:36:20,650
Now this is your opportunity to inspect
the parked aircraft which are arranged

780
00:36:20,650 --> 00:36:22,130
on the eastern end of the runway.

781
00:36:31,950 --> 00:36:32,609
Hey, Peg.

782
00:36:32,610 --> 00:36:33,610
Hi, Johnny.

783
00:36:34,990 --> 00:36:37,870
I want to work with you. Anything for
you, chap. What the heck do you think

784
00:36:37,870 --> 00:36:38,649
were doing just now?

785
00:36:38,650 --> 00:36:40,370
You saw standing orders, didn't you?
Can't you read?

786
00:36:41,010 --> 00:36:42,130
There you are, old boy.

787
00:36:42,370 --> 00:36:44,970
It was only a harmless little beat -up.
Ruddy harmless it would have been,

788
00:36:44,990 --> 00:36:45,990
wouldn't it, at the end of some cut?

789
00:36:46,630 --> 00:36:49,170
Ready for Pete's sake. How often have
you got to be told this is 1940?

790
00:36:50,010 --> 00:36:51,550
Victory rolls and all that malarkey.

791
00:36:51,830 --> 00:36:54,490
I know you aren't in uniform anymore,
old boy, but don't forget there are

792
00:36:54,490 --> 00:36:55,408
more like you.

793
00:36:55,410 --> 00:36:57,270
Good pilots aren't so hard to find these
days.

794
00:37:03,359 --> 00:37:06,200
Hello? Well, this is a surprise, I must
say.

795
00:37:06,540 --> 00:37:07,540
Heard all that?

796
00:37:08,180 --> 00:37:12,240
You see, no expense spared to entertain
our distinguished guest. If I may say

797
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:14,260
so, Mr... Page. Of course, how silly.

798
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:15,920
I was entirely on your side.

799
00:37:16,220 --> 00:37:17,019
Were you?

800
00:37:17,020 --> 00:37:18,020
Oh, I don't know.

801
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,660
There is something in what he says, I
suppose. I've no doubt there's a great

802
00:37:20,660 --> 00:37:23,720
deal. I meant I was on your side because
you were so obviously in the wrong.

803
00:37:24,060 --> 00:37:24,959
Come again?

804
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,960
I don't quite get that. Only because
when he was talking to you, you seemed

805
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,960
drop about 20 years and become a naughty
schoolboy caught stealing jam.

806
00:37:31,180 --> 00:37:33,900
Excuse me, Lady Collier. We were just
looking for you. Thank you. I'm just

807
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:34,879
coming. Goodbye.

808
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:35,940
Don't take it too seriously.

809
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,080
This is the first time I've been to one
of these shops.

810
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,360
Freddie says they have them every year.
Have you been before?

811
00:37:56,620 --> 00:37:58,480
Yes, but not from choice, I'm afraid.
I'm on the committee.

812
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,620
Oh, are you an expert for yourself?

813
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,700
Only in a very remote sort of way.

814
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,440
A great success, isn't it, Sir William?
Yes, looks like it. We've made £300 more

815
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,980
than last year. Really? I think the RAF
should strike us a special medal, don't

816
00:38:09,980 --> 00:38:10,980
you think? I think so, yes.

817
00:38:14,540 --> 00:38:16,040
What's the matter, Mr Page? Anything
wrong?

818
00:38:16,700 --> 00:38:19,580
I was simply thinking, Lady Collier,
that you have the loveliest eyes I've

819
00:38:19,580 --> 00:38:21,560
seen on an immortal human being. Good
gracious.

820
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,480
I had no idea that our test pilot
studied the female Victorian novelist so

821
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,040
closely. I didn't get that out of a
book. You mean you made it up yourself?

822
00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:29,420
How very clever of you.

823
00:38:29,660 --> 00:38:31,580
How often have you had occasion to use
it?

824
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,980
Well, the important thing is that this
time I really mean it. Oh, that's very

825
00:38:34,980 --> 00:38:35,980
important.

826
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,700
Tell me, have you seen any good plays
lately?

827
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Hello, Hester.

828
00:38:40,340 --> 00:38:41,138
Enjoying yourself?

829
00:38:41,140 --> 00:38:42,140
Very much.

830
00:38:42,620 --> 00:38:43,780
What were we talking about?

831
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:45,300
Oh, yes, plays.

832
00:38:46,030 --> 00:38:47,030
I love your mouth.

833
00:38:49,790 --> 00:38:51,170
Mr. Page, I can't breathe.

834
00:38:52,050 --> 00:38:53,170
Would you mind off it?

835
00:38:57,190 --> 00:38:58,290
Please, please don't.

836
00:39:00,790 --> 00:39:03,210
I think I must go and rescue my poor
husband. Thank you so much.

837
00:39:05,970 --> 00:39:09,150
I saw you giving her the old routine all
right. That won't work with a ladyship,

838
00:39:09,150 --> 00:39:10,069
Freddie, my pet.

839
00:39:10,070 --> 00:39:11,890
As a matter of fact, it doesn't work
anymore with me.

840
00:39:12,190 --> 00:39:13,190
Let's dance.

841
00:40:03,820 --> 00:40:05,360
That's the only way I know how to stop.

842
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:08,660
Good heavens, what are you doing here?

843
00:40:08,980 --> 00:40:09,980
I've been chasing you.

844
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,840
I felt like a tiger moth chasing a jet.

845
00:40:12,860 --> 00:40:14,020
Well, you might pay a low at least.

846
00:40:14,380 --> 00:40:17,420
When did you get here? Morning. A couple
of chaps asked me to make up a party.

847
00:40:17,660 --> 00:40:19,740
I didn't even know where we were coming
to until I got on the aircraft.

848
00:40:20,380 --> 00:40:22,540
I'd forgotten all about you being here
until they told me at the hotel.

849
00:40:24,700 --> 00:40:26,220
What's the matter? Don't you like my
outfit?

850
00:40:26,420 --> 00:40:27,420
I think it's beautiful.

851
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,440
Quite beautiful.

852
00:40:28,740 --> 00:40:29,740
Well, come on.

853
00:40:59,310 --> 00:41:01,970
Well, children, if we're going to do
another run today, we'd better get

854
00:41:01,970 --> 00:41:03,930
bet Bill's fallen asleep on his balcony.

855
00:41:04,150 --> 00:41:05,970
Over the Times crossword, as usual.

856
00:41:06,230 --> 00:41:08,830
Oh, it's ridiculous. He'd love skiing,
if only he'd give it a try once.

857
00:41:09,070 --> 00:41:10,510
That's just what he says about me and
golf.

858
00:41:10,850 --> 00:41:12,050
Coming? In a minute.

859
00:41:12,910 --> 00:41:13,910
Bitter for my son.

860
00:41:14,150 --> 00:41:15,150
You're welcome.

861
00:41:16,150 --> 00:41:18,230
How long holiday have you got, Mr. Page?

862
00:41:18,590 --> 00:41:19,710
Till doomsday. Present.

863
00:41:20,110 --> 00:41:21,710
Must have very generous employers.

864
00:41:22,850 --> 00:41:24,970
I have. So generous they've gone and
fired me.

865
00:41:25,570 --> 00:41:27,730
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not.

866
00:41:28,060 --> 00:41:29,060
Flying's not what it was anymore.

867
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,140
We're all a lot of runny boffins
nowadays.

868
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:32,720
Boffins? Scientists.

869
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,180
In 1940, 1941, it was different.

870
00:41:34,660 --> 00:41:35,980
How old were you in 1940?

871
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,620
Eighteen. Oh, I know what you're
thinking.

872
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,720
The world's grown up since then and I
haven't. Well, maybe that's true. But I

873
00:41:42,720 --> 00:41:44,540
ask you, who wants to grow up in the
world as it is?

874
00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:47,440
Now, if there's one man in this world I
envy, it's your husband.

875
00:41:47,780 --> 00:41:51,100
Why? You don't want to be a judge, do
you? Why not? At least he does know

876
00:41:51,100 --> 00:41:52,100
he's going.

877
00:41:52,820 --> 00:41:57,200
Still, looking at you now, I wonder if
it's only his job I envy him for.

878
00:41:58,250 --> 00:42:00,550
Now, Mr. Page... No, I mean that. That's
not just a line.

879
00:42:00,990 --> 00:42:03,850
I really think you're the most
attractive girl I've ever met in my

880
00:42:06,430 --> 00:42:08,310
Hey, where are you?

881
00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:09,630
I'm here.

882
00:42:09,650 --> 00:42:10,650
Go on about yourself.

883
00:42:11,110 --> 00:42:12,110
That's all there is.

884
00:42:12,190 --> 00:42:14,570
Just a poor little lamb who's lost his
way. That's me.

885
00:42:15,290 --> 00:42:16,470
Now, here's a funny thing.

886
00:42:16,970 --> 00:42:19,890
Do you realize you're looking at me for
the first time as if I was a human

887
00:42:19,890 --> 00:42:21,990
being? Somebody, a miracle must have
happened.

888
00:42:23,330 --> 00:42:24,330
Miracle?

889
00:42:24,730 --> 00:42:25,730
I don't think so.

890
00:42:27,090 --> 00:42:29,610
Ah, Fraulein. You take pound notes, I
feel certain.

891
00:42:29,850 --> 00:42:33,810
You shouldn't have done that.

892
00:42:34,030 --> 00:42:35,670
I may be broke, but I'm not as broke as
all that.

893
00:42:35,890 --> 00:42:36,669
Don't be silly.

894
00:42:36,670 --> 00:42:37,670
Do you know something?

895
00:42:37,830 --> 00:42:41,550
Here I am, out of a job, with nothing in
sight, yet I've seldom felt happier in

896
00:42:41,550 --> 00:42:42,549
my whole life. Why?

897
00:42:42,550 --> 00:42:43,550
Shall I tell you why?

898
00:42:43,830 --> 00:42:45,930
Because by a wizard's stroke of luck,
I've met you again.

899
00:42:47,350 --> 00:42:50,410
You take pound notes, I'm sure.

900
00:42:53,610 --> 00:42:54,610
Thank you.

901
00:43:28,460 --> 00:43:32,000
You've just done the... What was it? The
mile home. Oh, that's quite a run. May

902
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,380
I introduce Mr and Mrs Bronson, Mr
Chalmers, Lady Collier. How do you do?

903
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,360
Gosh, Freddie, this is a place all
right. Hey, we're all blessing you for

904
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,339
us come here.

905
00:43:39,340 --> 00:43:41,820
Practically at the point of a gun, let
me tell you. Come on, we'd better hurry.

906
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,640
We've only three minutes to make the ski
lift. Goodbye.

907
00:43:44,060 --> 00:43:45,280
Goodbye. See you later.

908
00:43:46,860 --> 00:43:48,960
Wizard stroke of luck? Well, heck, you
asked me to.

909
00:43:49,180 --> 00:43:52,220
I asked you to. What on earth are you
talking about? But you did. Right in the

910
00:43:52,220 --> 00:43:55,040
middle of the dining room at Sunningdale
and with witnesses to prove it. You

911
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,220
said Bill and I are going to Closters.

912
00:43:56,420 --> 00:43:57,420
Why don't you come too?

913
00:43:57,790 --> 00:44:00,570
But I would have said that to anyone
that wasn't serious. You said it to me.

914
00:44:00,570 --> 00:44:02,710
Freddy, I... Well, now, thank you. What
for?

915
00:44:03,010 --> 00:44:04,010
For calling me Freddy.

916
00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:08,030
Look, if you want another run with your
friends, you'd better hurry up.

917
00:44:08,410 --> 00:44:09,990
Hey, you're not scared of little me, are
you?

918
00:44:10,530 --> 00:44:12,530
All right, I'm sorry I shouldn't have
come.

919
00:44:13,090 --> 00:44:15,810
Still, as we are here, we might as well
make the most of it. What about another

920
00:44:15,810 --> 00:44:17,150
run? Just one more, please.

921
00:44:17,970 --> 00:44:19,790
Oh, do take off that ridiculous hat.

922
00:44:20,790 --> 00:44:23,170
That better? Not much, but come on, or
we'll miss the lift.

923
00:44:45,550 --> 00:44:46,770
Now, you can't blame me for that, can
you?

924
00:44:48,010 --> 00:44:49,010
I'm in love with you, Hester.

925
00:44:49,290 --> 00:44:50,290
I really am.

926
00:44:51,230 --> 00:44:52,950
Please. I wish you wouldn't.

927
00:44:53,590 --> 00:44:54,590
Hello, Hester.

928
00:44:55,330 --> 00:44:56,710
I've just seen Bill at the ring.

929
00:44:57,150 --> 00:45:00,410
He said to tell you he's got that
sleeper on the train, all right. Oh,

930
00:45:00,410 --> 00:45:01,410
you. Sleeper? When?

931
00:45:01,850 --> 00:45:03,490
Tonight. Well, you're not going, are
you?

932
00:45:05,210 --> 00:45:06,210
I don't know.

933
00:45:26,859 --> 00:45:27,859
Goodbye, darling.

934
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:30,280
Goodbye, darling.

935
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,380
I wish I were coming with you. Oh, come,
come. Who wants to spend New Year's Eve

936
00:45:34,380 --> 00:45:35,058
in a train?

937
00:45:35,060 --> 00:45:37,220
Heaven knows I wouldn't be doing it
unless I had to. Well, take care of

938
00:45:37,220 --> 00:45:39,100
yourself. Einstein, bitte.

939
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:41,780
It's only five days.

940
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,300
I'm not going to the Amazon, you know.
It's those two cocktails.

941
00:45:46,540 --> 00:45:48,660
Oh, I nearly forgot. Happy New Year. And
to you, Paige.

942
00:45:49,180 --> 00:45:49,859
Thank you, sir.

943
00:45:49,860 --> 00:45:50,860
Happy New Year, Bill.

944
00:45:51,380 --> 00:45:52,380
Oh, I'm sorry.

945
00:45:57,060 --> 00:45:58,920
I'll meet you in on Tuesday. Goodbye,
darling.

946
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:38,920
Vapor trail, my poor love.

947
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:40,800
Did he leave you outside?

948
00:46:43,420 --> 00:46:44,420
Come, open.

949
00:46:45,620 --> 00:46:48,680
Freddie, you are a beast at a vapor
trail. I'm sure he's been asking you to

950
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:49,499
in for hours.

951
00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:51,680
I wouldn't have given him to you if I
thought you were going to be so cruel.

952
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,240
Well, he's got to just sissy me. I can't
hear it.

953
00:46:54,540 --> 00:46:55,920
I thought our date was for six.

954
00:46:56,140 --> 00:46:56,899
It was.

955
00:46:56,900 --> 00:46:58,320
I'm afraid I can't keep it.

956
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,600
Why? We have to go to the theater with
some legal friends.

957
00:47:03,540 --> 00:47:04,540
Big shots?

958
00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:05,720
No, not particularly.

959
00:47:06,510 --> 00:47:07,870
But I just had to see you.

960
00:47:12,390 --> 00:47:14,490
Freddie, what's happening?

961
00:47:15,710 --> 00:47:18,470
Well, I was going to call you, Hess, but
it might have been a bit awkward.

962
00:47:19,530 --> 00:47:20,830
Anyway, I would have told you later.

963
00:47:21,530 --> 00:47:22,530
Where are you going?

964
00:47:22,590 --> 00:47:23,590
Well, it's not for long, Hess.

965
00:47:24,410 --> 00:47:25,410
Where, Freddie?

966
00:47:25,450 --> 00:47:27,550
Well, Canada.

967
00:47:29,610 --> 00:47:30,610
Canada? When?

968
00:47:30,890 --> 00:47:32,510
9 .30 tonight, Heathrow.

969
00:47:32,870 --> 00:47:34,290
It's only a temporary job, Hess.

970
00:47:34,730 --> 00:47:37,890
Jackie Jackson, he's that Canadian test
pilot you met the other night. Remember?

971
00:47:38,050 --> 00:47:39,029
Works over here now.

972
00:47:39,030 --> 00:47:40,070
Well, he got it for me.

973
00:47:40,290 --> 00:47:41,610
It's only about ten weeks or so.

974
00:47:42,310 --> 00:47:44,530
Only ten weeks. Well, not much more
anyhow.

975
00:47:45,190 --> 00:47:47,530
It's a new version of a kite I used to
fly at Linbrook's.

976
00:47:47,790 --> 00:47:50,710
And it's got to be tested over there
because it's a rush job and the weather

977
00:47:50,710 --> 00:47:52,430
over here is pretty ropey at this time
of the year.

978
00:47:53,270 --> 00:47:56,490
It's one of those new delta wing jobs.
Low -level testing, which means you have

979
00:47:56,490 --> 00:47:57,830
to have a fairly high ceiling. Freddie.

980
00:47:59,190 --> 00:48:00,190
Yes?

981
00:48:00,550 --> 00:48:01,970
Freddie, there's something we have to
face.

982
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,960
I suppose we really should have faced it
months ago.

983
00:48:05,660 --> 00:48:08,320
But it seems quite clear to me now that
we've got a choice.

984
00:48:10,020 --> 00:48:12,260
And it's really up to you to make it.
Yes?

985
00:48:13,260 --> 00:48:16,460
If you fly to Canada tonight without me,
we won't see each other again.

986
00:48:16,820 --> 00:48:18,440
But darling, we'll only be apart.

987
00:48:18,700 --> 00:48:20,360
I know, ten weeks. Well, ten weeks.

988
00:48:20,620 --> 00:48:21,880
But you see, Freddy, it's a funny thing.

989
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:26,580
I believe I could stand, just stand, our
being apart for the rest of our lives,

990
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:31,280
but ten weeks or eight or six, it's too
much.

991
00:48:31,820 --> 00:48:32,820
Do you understand?

992
00:48:33,340 --> 00:48:36,460
No, Hess. Frankly, I don't. Well, it's
as simple as this.

993
00:48:36,940 --> 00:48:39,600
I can't go on living this sort of life
any longer.

994
00:48:40,540 --> 00:48:41,580
Do you understand that?

995
00:48:42,220 --> 00:48:43,380
Yes, I suppose so.

996
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,320
Still, it's a heck of a big decision.

997
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,000
Have you really and honestly thought
what you'd be taking on, Hess?

998
00:48:49,240 --> 00:48:50,900
I mean, you know the sort of chap I am.

999
00:48:51,540 --> 00:48:54,640
Yes, Freddy, I know the sort of chap you
are. Not really your form at all.

1000
00:48:55,060 --> 00:48:58,820
Lord Chief Justices, Ambassadors, Air
Marshals, that's your form.

1001
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:00,980
What the heck do you really see in me,
Hess?

1002
00:49:01,420 --> 00:49:02,420
I've often wondered.

1003
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:07,080
Well, maybe if you'd known me all my
life through my childhood and my

1004
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:11,720
as a clergyman's daughter, on to Bill
and tea with the Lord Chief Justice.

1005
00:49:13,260 --> 00:49:14,260
Yes, Freddy.

1006
00:49:14,460 --> 00:49:16,060
I know what I'm taking on.

1007
00:49:16,380 --> 00:49:17,380
But do you?

1008
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:22,360
Hello.

1009
00:49:22,580 --> 00:49:24,320
Yes. Hello, Jackie.

1010
00:49:24,580 --> 00:49:25,580
Yes, all set.

1011
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:26,980
No, only two cases.

1012
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,100
Yes, that'll be fine, thanks.

1013
00:49:29,980 --> 00:49:30,980
Jackie.

1014
00:49:31,340 --> 00:49:34,000
What chance of getting another
reservation on that aircraft tonight?

1015
00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:36,680
What? Yes.

1016
00:49:37,540 --> 00:49:38,540
British passport.

1017
00:49:39,420 --> 00:49:40,420
Name?

1018
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:42,240
Hester Collier.

1019
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:44,540
Yes, Collier.

1020
00:49:47,100 --> 00:49:48,100
Okay, old boy.

1021
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:49,480
Right.

1022
00:49:49,780 --> 00:49:50,780
Gosh.

1023
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:54,500
I hope we're doing right.

1024
00:49:55,860 --> 00:49:56,860
So do I.

1025
00:50:03,370 --> 00:50:04,348
A fist, old boy.

1026
00:50:04,350 --> 00:50:07,190
No, I'm not worrying about your ulcers.
I'm worrying about your bill. Hi, Dicer.

1027
00:50:07,530 --> 00:50:10,250
Say, what's so darn important I've got
to be pulled here all the way from

1028
00:50:10,250 --> 00:50:12,910
so you can tell me about it? Important?
No, it's not important.

1029
00:50:13,410 --> 00:50:15,630
It's only that Hess tried to kill
herself last night, that's all.

1030
00:50:16,270 --> 00:50:17,270
Kill herself?

1031
00:50:17,890 --> 00:50:20,610
Are you sure? Well, of course I'm sure.
I wouldn't be telling you, would I?

1032
00:50:21,350 --> 00:50:22,350
See this letter?

1033
00:50:22,670 --> 00:50:24,550
Besides, I got all the gin out of Omar
Elton.

1034
00:50:26,690 --> 00:50:28,550
Well, don't you want to know why she did
it?

1035
00:50:29,110 --> 00:50:32,170
Why? She did it, old boy, because I
forgot her birthday.

1036
00:50:34,609 --> 00:50:36,670
Say, do you really think she was on a
level? No.

1037
00:50:37,630 --> 00:50:39,230
And simply because you're forgetting her
birthday?

1038
00:50:40,410 --> 00:50:44,530
Well, where is she now? Ah, you know,
she was getting dressed when I ran out

1039
00:50:44,530 --> 00:50:46,270
her. You ran out? What do you expect me
to do?

1040
00:50:46,770 --> 00:50:50,030
Go into her and fall down on my knees
and say, my darling, I've grievously

1041
00:50:50,030 --> 00:50:51,290
sinned in forgetting your birthday?

1042
00:50:51,510 --> 00:50:54,150
If I promise I'll never do it again,
will you promise me you'll never try and

1043
00:50:54,150 --> 00:50:55,150
gas yourself again?

1044
00:50:55,410 --> 00:50:57,630
I mean, the whole thing's too darn
idiotic.

1045
00:50:58,430 --> 00:50:59,430
Die, sir. Two more.

1046
00:51:01,270 --> 00:51:02,270
Aren't women the end?

1047
00:51:03,460 --> 00:51:04,460
Die, sir.

1048
00:51:04,860 --> 00:51:05,980
You had any rows lately?

1049
00:51:06,860 --> 00:51:07,819
No more than average.

1050
00:51:07,820 --> 00:51:10,060
What were they about? Oh, the usual
things.

1051
00:51:10,700 --> 00:51:14,520
Damn it, Jackie, you know me. I can't be
a runny Romeo all the time. Who can?

1052
00:51:14,820 --> 00:51:16,160
Well, according to Hess, I should be.

1053
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:17,400
Die, sir, encore.

1054
00:51:17,580 --> 00:51:21,020
What does she know about it? Nothing. A
clergyman's daughter living in Oxford

1055
00:51:21,020 --> 00:51:24,200
marries the first man who asks her and
falls in love with the first man who

1056
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:26,940
gives her an eye. Freddie. What's the
matter? Am I talking too loud? We're

1057
00:51:26,940 --> 00:51:27,940
to sit in that table over there.

1058
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:29,840
Where's that bottle?

1059
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,360
Oh, it's not that I'm not in love with
her, too.

1060
00:51:32,860 --> 00:51:33,860
Of course I am.

1061
00:51:33,980 --> 00:51:34,980
Always have been.

1062
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:40,200
Always will, I guess, but... Well,
moderation in all things, that's always

1063
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:41,019
my motto.

1064
00:51:41,020 --> 00:51:41,799
Have another.

1065
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:42,799
No, I've got some.

1066
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,020
It's all so unfair.

1067
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:46,960
Supposing she pulled it off last night.

1068
00:51:47,300 --> 00:51:49,440
Do you realise what the coroner would
probably have done?

1069
00:51:49,820 --> 00:51:53,320
He'd have brought in a rider to tell the
world that I'd bust up a happy marriage

1070
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:54,920
and then driven Hester to suicide.

1071
00:51:55,220 --> 00:51:58,160
How I hate getting tangled up in other
people's emotions.

1072
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:02,060
It's the one thing I've tried to avoid
all my life, yet it always seems to be

1073
00:52:02,060 --> 00:52:03,060
happening to me, always.

1074
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:06,880
A sort of arm for a towel, eh? It's not
so funny, you know, Jackie.

1075
00:52:07,380 --> 00:52:08,540
It's not so funny.

1076
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,140
I don't enjoy causing other people
misery. I'm not a ruddy sadist. My sword

1077
00:52:13,140 --> 00:52:14,140
never gets a hearing.

1078
00:52:14,860 --> 00:52:16,000
But look at it this way.

1079
00:52:17,060 --> 00:52:19,120
Take two people, A and B.

1080
00:52:19,720 --> 00:52:24,260
A loves B more than B loves A. Well,
now, that's not B's fault, is it? He

1081
00:52:24,260 --> 00:52:26,800
his best, heaven knows, but his best
isn't good enough, apparently.

1082
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,720
Now, B hasn't asked to be loved that
way, old boy.

1083
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:34,320
He may be a perfectly ordinary bloke,
kind, well -meaning, good friend.

1084
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,180
He might even make good husband if he's
allowed to, but he's not allowed to be.

1085
00:52:38,260 --> 00:52:39,260
That's my point.

1086
00:52:39,720 --> 00:52:41,740
Demands are made upon him which he just
can't fulfill.

1087
00:52:42,620 --> 00:52:44,760
If he tries, he's cheating.

1088
00:52:45,140 --> 00:52:46,220
Cheating never helped anyone.

1089
00:52:46,820 --> 00:52:52,120
If he's honest and doesn't try, well,
then everyone says he's a skunk and a

1090
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,520
heartless cad, and coroners bring in
ruddy riders.

1091
00:52:56,170 --> 00:52:57,190
I mean, where are you?

1092
00:52:57,770 --> 00:52:58,770
Have another. No.

1093
00:53:00,190 --> 00:53:02,110
Do you think you should? Why not? Am I
drunk?

1094
00:53:02,430 --> 00:53:04,010
Well, I'd say you've been at it some
this morning.

1095
00:53:04,510 --> 00:53:06,190
I shall be at it for the rest of the
day, too.

1096
00:53:07,110 --> 00:53:09,650
I shall be at it until I've forgotten
that this ever existed.

1097
00:53:10,050 --> 00:53:11,050
Well, doesn't that give you any clue?

1098
00:53:11,550 --> 00:53:12,550
Well, read it and see.

1099
00:53:13,490 --> 00:53:17,350
Oh, no, I don't think so. I mean, a
thing like that's a bit private, isn't

1100
00:53:17,750 --> 00:53:20,530
Blasted private it would have been
without being caught by the coroner,

1101
00:53:20,530 --> 00:53:22,270
it? Well, there is that, I guess. There
is that, you guess.

1102
00:53:23,089 --> 00:53:25,730
All right, I'm the coroner, you're the
public. Now listen.

1103
00:53:28,310 --> 00:53:34,430
My darling, a moment ago, before I took
the sleeping pills, I knew exactly what

1104
00:53:34,430 --> 00:53:35,450
I wanted to say to you.

1105
00:53:35,910 --> 00:53:39,270
I have run through this letter in my
mind... Look, Freddy, no one has as I

1106
00:53:39,270 --> 00:53:42,030
don't want to hear the rest. Do you
mind? I do mind. I've got to read this

1107
00:53:42,030 --> 00:53:43,970
letter to someone, and you're my best
friend, aren't you?

1108
00:53:44,190 --> 00:53:45,190
Or aren't you?

1109
00:53:45,270 --> 00:53:46,770
Sure. Well, then listen, Blaster.

1110
00:53:47,530 --> 00:53:52,250
But now, all I can think of is that in
the morning, when you read this

1111
00:53:52,590 --> 00:53:56,890
Any feelings you ever had for me will be
driven out of your heart forever.

1112
00:53:57,330 --> 00:53:58,350
Poor Freddy.

1113
00:53:58,710 --> 00:54:00,070
Poor darling Freddy.

1114
00:54:00,370 --> 00:54:01,630
I'm so sorry.

1115
00:54:02,010 --> 00:54:03,010
Sorry?

1116
00:54:03,250 --> 00:54:05,930
All right, here's your clue. You'll want
to know why.

1117
00:54:06,350 --> 00:54:09,510
And I'd so much like to make you
understand.

1118
00:54:09,850 --> 00:54:12,010
Because if you understood, you might
forgive.

1119
00:54:12,590 --> 00:54:17,890
But to understand what I'm doing, you
must feel even a small part of what I'm

1120
00:54:17,890 --> 00:54:20,470
feeling. And that I know you can never
do.

1121
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,380
You can't help being as you are. I can't
help being as I am.

1122
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:30,940
The fault lies with whichever of the
gods had a good laugh up above by

1123
00:54:30,940 --> 00:54:32,040
for the two of us to meet.

1124
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:37,620
Forgive my bad writing. I think perhaps
the drug... Hello, Jackie.

1125
00:54:37,940 --> 00:54:41,020
Hello. How are you? I'm very well. Hello
there, Hess. How's things?

1126
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:42,280
Fine, thank you, George.

1127
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:43,740
Can I have that letter ready?

1128
00:54:44,020 --> 00:54:46,020
Why? Because it belongs to me.

1129
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,820
Might be two views about that. It's got
my name on the envelope.

1130
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,460
An undelivered letter, I should say. It
belongs to the sender.

1131
00:54:52,020 --> 00:54:53,020
Please.

1132
00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:54,700
Thank you.

1133
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,540
Well, I guess I'd better be getting
along.

1134
00:54:58,240 --> 00:55:02,720
Oh, don't have another drink. You've
forgotten our lunch, Freddy. What?

1135
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:04,120
With Mr. Jansen.

1136
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,560
What, Jansen of American Consolidated?
What a chance of a job. Well, they want

1137
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,460
pilots for their new testing grounds in
Alaska.

1138
00:55:09,820 --> 00:55:12,560
Oh, gosh, I suppose you don't want to go
to Alaska, do you? I don't want to go

1139
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:13,560
anywhere as a test pilot.

1140
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,320
There's no question if you're going
anywhere as a test pilot, Freddy.

1141
00:55:16,580 --> 00:55:17,880
Why not? They say he's the tops.

1142
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:19,820
I was a year ago.

1143
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:21,680
Since then, things have changed a bit.

1144
00:55:21,940 --> 00:55:24,920
This stuff isn't exactly what the doctor
ordered for nerve or judgment.

1145
00:55:25,140 --> 00:55:26,140
Oh, don't talk nonsense, Freddy.

1146
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,100
It's just that he's given me his word,
that's all.

1147
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,600
By hoping that Jansen might find him a
job that's... Chair -born, not airborne.

1148
00:55:31,860 --> 00:55:32,920
That's me from now on.

1149
00:55:33,140 --> 00:55:34,140
Cheers.

1150
00:55:34,780 --> 00:55:36,280
Well, I'd better be on my way.

1151
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:37,600
Give my love to Liz.

1152
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,260
Please don't give her my love, Jackie.

1153
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:41,260
From all accounts, it's pretty lethal.

1154
00:55:41,740 --> 00:55:42,740
Well...

1155
00:55:42,859 --> 00:55:43,859
Cheerio, everybody.

1156
00:55:44,020 --> 00:55:45,220
I brought you a tie, Freddy.

1157
00:55:45,420 --> 00:55:48,680
Why? See you, Dyson. You'd better wear
one for lunch. And here's a handkerchief

1158
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:49,339
up there.

1159
00:55:49,340 --> 00:55:50,440
Thinks of everything, doesn't she?

1160
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,020
Morning, Hayes. Morning, Dyson. Hey,
Dyson.

1161
00:55:53,660 --> 00:55:54,660
Please, Freddy, we're late.

1162
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:58,940
Well, are we going or not?

1163
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:00,960
Well, I don't know where you're going,
but I'm going home.

1164
00:56:01,500 --> 00:56:02,500
Chalk it up, John.

1165
00:56:04,060 --> 00:56:06,340
Port engine a bit ropey here. It's
flying one wing low.

1166
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,080
Go get me the Ritz on the telephone,
please, Dyson. Sure.

1167
00:56:10,439 --> 00:56:12,060
Ask Mr. Jackson, would you? Certainly.

1168
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:38,520
You're Mr. Miller, aren't you?

1169
00:56:39,500 --> 00:56:40,500
Yes. Got a moment?

1170
00:56:40,620 --> 00:56:41,640
I'd like a word with you.

1171
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:47,880
Care for a drink?

1172
00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:49,700
Thanks.

1173
00:56:50,100 --> 00:56:52,000
You looked after my wife this morning,
didn't you?

1174
00:56:52,500 --> 00:56:53,760
Yes, I looked after Mrs. Page.

1175
00:56:54,180 --> 00:56:55,960
I'd like to know just how much she said
to you.

1176
00:56:56,260 --> 00:56:57,260
She said nothing.

1177
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,000
Nothing about why she did it? Nothing.

1178
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:00,580
Do you know why she did it?

1179
00:57:00,820 --> 00:57:02,460
No. If you like, I'll tell you.

1180
00:57:03,220 --> 00:57:05,060
She did it because I forgot her
birthday.

1181
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:06,280
Yes.

1182
00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:07,360
Don't seem surprised.

1183
00:57:07,770 --> 00:57:10,250
I'm not. I assumed it was something of
the kind. Something so trivial?

1184
00:57:10,790 --> 00:57:13,730
Nothing of the cold trivial that induces
an operative desire to die.

1185
00:57:13,950 --> 00:57:14,990
But forgetting a birthday.

1186
00:57:15,270 --> 00:57:16,550
Yes, that is trivial.

1187
00:57:16,930 --> 00:57:18,490
Bit of a riddler, aren't you, old boy?

1188
00:57:18,970 --> 00:57:20,170
All right, then, it's trivial.

1189
00:57:20,410 --> 00:57:23,330
But what's the real reason? What's
behind it? I don't think you need me to

1190
00:57:23,330 --> 00:57:24,470
you that. I'd like to hear it anyway.

1191
00:57:25,550 --> 00:57:26,550
Yourself, I should suppose.

1192
00:57:27,230 --> 00:57:29,210
Which just about makes me a ruddy
murderer.

1193
00:57:29,910 --> 00:57:31,050
A ruddy near -murderer.

1194
00:57:33,690 --> 00:57:34,730
All right, my friend.

1195
00:57:35,450 --> 00:57:37,150
What would you do about it if you were
me?

1196
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:38,480
That's a stupid question.

1197
00:57:38,980 --> 00:57:42,220
Nature's nothing to doubt me with the
capacity for inspiring suicidal love.

1198
00:57:42,380 --> 00:57:43,380
Aren't you lucky?

1199
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:44,440
Yes, I suppose I am.

1200
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:47,900
Oh, good afternoon, Mr. Miller.

1201
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:49,200
Good afternoon.

1202
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:54,040
Freddy, I rang Mr. Jansen about the
lunch. He was awfully nice about it. He

1203
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:55,040
expects you to ring him tomorrow.

1204
00:57:56,200 --> 00:57:57,200
Where are you going?

1205
00:57:57,300 --> 00:57:58,360
Bed. Any objections?

1206
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:02,360
No, good idea. Hey, what are you doing?
Just hiding. Well, it's my bottle. I

1207
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:03,360
paid for it.

1208
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:04,480
No!

1209
00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,660
Little Freddy Weddy doesn't need a nanny
this afternoon.

1210
00:58:09,620 --> 00:58:10,620
Does he, Mr. Miller?

1211
00:58:11,180 --> 00:58:12,180
You know something?

1212
00:58:12,780 --> 00:58:15,680
Anyone else would have punched you on
the nose for what you said to me a

1213
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,740
ago. Not me, though. I'm a civilized
type.

1214
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,740
Dinner, usual time, I take it?

1215
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:24,800
Oh.

1216
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:26,480
I nearly forgot.

1217
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:29,620
Can you lend me a shilling?

1218
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:35,920
It's in case I'm late for dinner.

1219
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:40,480
Even unbearable.

1220
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:41,840
I said difficult.

1221
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:43,840
Does it matter so much to you which it
is?

1222
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,660
It does matter to me very much.

1223
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,800
Until this moment, I've admired your
scientific detachment.

1224
00:58:49,300 --> 00:58:51,620
Let's hope now it's not going to be
clouded by sentimentality.

1225
00:58:51,900 --> 00:58:54,660
Shall we say sentiment? A little dose of
that has never hurt as long as it's

1226
00:58:54,660 --> 00:58:56,440
honest. Besides, I'm not a scientist.

1227
00:58:57,140 --> 00:58:59,600
You look quite different without those
things. Why do you wear them?

1228
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:01,360
To protect my eyes against the light.

1229
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,160
Or perhaps against other people's eyes.

1230
00:59:03,910 --> 00:59:05,590
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to probe.

1231
00:59:05,850 --> 00:59:07,010
How do you know there's anything to
probe?

1232
00:59:07,750 --> 00:59:08,669
Interest, I suppose.

1233
00:59:08,670 --> 00:59:10,830
Or perhaps a fellow feeling for someone
else in trouble.

1234
00:59:11,070 --> 00:59:12,770
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not
in trouble.

1235
00:59:13,150 --> 00:59:14,450
I wasn't speaking of the present.

1236
00:59:14,730 --> 00:59:17,530
The past is dead, and the facts, I'm
sure, you'll find unworthy of your

1237
00:59:17,530 --> 00:59:20,710
curiosity. Like you, Mr. Miller, I'm
more interested in people than in facts.

1238
00:59:21,110 --> 00:59:22,089
Thank you, Doctor.

1239
00:59:22,090 --> 00:59:23,090
Good -bye.

1240
00:59:23,770 --> 00:59:24,769
Afternoon, Mr. Miller.

1241
00:59:24,770 --> 00:59:27,270
I'd like to come in for a moment, Mrs.
Farage. I've got some lovely new records

1242
00:59:27,270 --> 00:59:29,530
Mr. Higgins sent me. Not just at the
moment, thank you.

1243
01:00:05,310 --> 01:00:06,310
Mrs. Page?

1244
01:00:07,430 --> 01:00:08,430
Mrs. Page?

1245
01:00:08,610 --> 01:00:09,610
Yes, Mrs. Elton.

1246
01:00:10,210 --> 01:00:12,690
When I was doing the room this
afternoon, Sir William phoned.

1247
01:00:13,070 --> 01:00:16,010
Heavens, I completely forgot. He said
his case was going to finish much

1248
01:00:16,010 --> 01:00:17,830
and could you possibly meet him at 3
.30?

1249
01:00:18,130 --> 01:00:19,130
3 .30?

1250
01:00:19,290 --> 01:00:20,290
It's nearly that now.

1251
01:00:20,530 --> 01:00:21,530
Who's that?

1252
01:00:21,550 --> 01:00:22,570
It's only Mrs. Elton, Freddie.

1253
01:00:23,130 --> 01:00:24,730
Thank you, Mrs. Elton. I'll see to that.

1254
01:00:37,870 --> 01:00:38,870
Freddie? Freddie,

1255
01:00:40,030 --> 01:00:41,150
I have to go out. Do you mind?

1256
01:00:50,750 --> 01:00:52,170
I'll be out for about an hour, Freddie.

1257
01:00:56,450 --> 01:01:01,050
The jury for Code 5?

1258
01:01:01,310 --> 01:01:02,249
Yes.

1259
01:01:02,250 --> 01:01:03,250
Bradley.

1260
01:01:03,530 --> 01:01:04,530
Mr. Bradley!

1261
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:08,040
Mr. Hill?

1262
01:01:09,900 --> 01:01:10,900
Constable Webb?

1263
01:01:14,780 --> 01:01:15,780
Looking for anyone?

1264
01:01:15,900 --> 01:01:16,940
Yes, Sir William Collier.

1265
01:01:17,180 --> 01:01:19,620
Oh, yes, miss. He was here a moment ago,
I know.

1266
01:01:19,860 --> 01:01:22,860
Ah, here he is. I'd almost given up
hope. Thank you for coming.

1267
01:01:23,140 --> 01:01:24,140
No, sorry.

1268
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:25,600
Fred is back.

1269
01:01:25,620 --> 01:01:27,020
Oh. He's asleep at the moment.

1270
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:28,259
I see.

1271
01:01:28,260 --> 01:01:31,660
Oh, Bill, I'm having a few people in for
bridge on Thursday night and I want...

1272
01:01:32,060 --> 01:01:33,620
Hello, Hester. Hello, Frank.

1273
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:35,680
This is quite a surprise, I must say.

1274
01:01:36,020 --> 01:01:39,820
Well, you're looking wonderful as usual,
isn't she? I didn't mean to disturb

1275
01:01:39,820 --> 01:01:41,040
you. I'll telephone you, Bill. Thank
you.

1276
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:43,940
Forgive me, Bill, but would you mind if
we had our tea another time?

1277
01:01:44,260 --> 01:01:46,280
Does another ten minutes make so much
difference?

1278
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:48,440
No.

1279
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,000
We've got this.

1280
01:01:53,860 --> 01:01:57,040
It's fantastic to think it was caused by
my decision to take that house on the

1281
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:58,040
golf course.

1282
01:01:58,060 --> 01:02:00,600
You mustn't distress yourself with that
kind of thought, Bill.

1283
01:02:01,460 --> 01:02:02,840
Freddy and I would have met anyway.

1284
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:04,380
Do you believe in affinities?

1285
01:02:05,300 --> 01:02:07,580
I believe it was fated that Freddy and I
should meet.

1286
01:02:08,020 --> 01:02:09,680
It's turned out a pretty evil fate.

1287
01:02:10,420 --> 01:02:13,600
I suppose if there are good affinities,
there must be evil ones too.

1288
01:02:13,980 --> 01:02:15,120
Well, this is far enough, Bill.

1289
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:16,560
Now get out of here.

1290
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:18,440
Go flip and pull up on the right, will
you?

1291
01:02:18,780 --> 01:02:19,780
Yes, sir.

1292
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,480
Thank you, Fitton. It's a pleasure, ma
'am. Wait here for me.

1293
01:02:36,100 --> 01:02:37,380
Thank you so much, Bill. Goodbye.

1294
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:38,499
Goodbye, Hester.

1295
01:02:38,500 --> 01:02:40,020
Please remember that it's never too
late.

1296
01:02:40,900 --> 01:02:43,100
He's sitting on the doorstep of your
house. No, don't turn round.

1297
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:47,640
He may not have seen you. Please go,
Bill. He has seen you, I'm afraid. Oh,

1298
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:48,680
Bill, please go.

1299
01:02:48,780 --> 01:02:50,200
No, I'm coming with you.

1300
01:02:51,980 --> 01:02:52,980
Richard,

1301
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,500
Celia, come into once now. The tea's on
the table.

1302
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:56,638
All right, Mummy.

1303
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:57,640
Bye, Daddy.

1304
01:03:00,010 --> 01:03:01,870
I thought it might be you she'd gone to
see.

1305
01:03:02,670 --> 01:03:05,910
What are you doing here, Freddie? I
heard there was a big black roll here

1306
01:03:05,910 --> 01:03:07,310
morning. I was interested. Do you mind?

1307
01:03:07,670 --> 01:03:10,890
Bill came to see me because somebody
telephoned him about what had happened.

1308
01:03:10,930 --> 01:03:11,509
I see.

1309
01:03:11,510 --> 01:03:12,770
Did you ever forget her birthday?

1310
01:03:13,230 --> 01:03:15,590
No. No. I shouldn't think you were a
forgetful type.

1311
01:03:16,090 --> 01:03:17,090
You still a judge?

1312
01:03:17,570 --> 01:03:19,250
Yes. Still got pots of money?

1313
01:03:19,870 --> 01:03:20,870
A certain amount.

1314
01:03:21,290 --> 01:03:23,630
Still love Hess? Bill, don't listen to
him. He's drunk.

1315
01:03:24,310 --> 01:03:26,190
Freddie, go up to the flat. I'll join
you in a minute.

1316
01:03:26,450 --> 01:03:27,450
See how I'm bullied?

1317
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,160
I'll bet you he'd like that. Oh, Perry,
please try and behave yourself.

1318
01:03:30,500 --> 01:03:31,500
Am I behaving badly?

1319
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:33,880
I'm only asking the judge here a simple
question.

1320
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:36,520
I'd rather like to know the answer.

1321
01:03:38,020 --> 01:03:39,860
Still, I suppose it doesn't really
matter.

1322
01:03:42,700 --> 01:03:44,180
I'm sorry, Bill. Oh, never mind.

1323
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,300
Good afternoon, Mrs. Perry. Good
afternoon.

1324
01:03:46,580 --> 01:03:50,120
You heard his last question to me. He
asked me if I still loved you. Well, the

1325
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:51,120
answer is yes.

1326
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,260
Please. I just thought it important you
should know.

1327
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,640
I realize perfectly that it doesn't help
now, but...

1328
01:03:57,110 --> 01:03:58,570
It may, one day.

1329
01:04:20,950 --> 01:04:21,950
Freddy?

1330
01:04:23,950 --> 01:04:24,950
Freddy, let me in.

1331
01:04:25,890 --> 01:04:27,750
Oh, Freddy, don't be so childish. Let me
in.

1332
01:04:42,390 --> 01:04:43,750
You're looking very smart, Freddy.

1333
01:04:44,750 --> 01:04:45,750
Going out somewhere?

1334
01:04:45,950 --> 01:04:47,110
Yes. Where?

1335
01:04:47,610 --> 01:04:49,130
To see Janson about a job.

1336
01:04:49,450 --> 01:04:50,450
Oh, he rang, did he?

1337
01:04:50,590 --> 01:04:51,590
No, I rang him.

1338
01:04:51,810 --> 01:04:53,550
You really think there's a chance of a
job?

1339
01:04:53,770 --> 01:04:54,770
Yes, I think so.

1340
01:04:54,910 --> 01:04:56,290
Well, it's very good news, isn't it,
Freddy?

1341
01:04:57,150 --> 01:04:59,710
Oh, I was going to give those a clean.
Well, I'll do it. No, let me.

1342
01:05:00,010 --> 01:05:03,190
Somehow you always manage to get shoe
polish all over your face. Lord knows

1343
01:05:04,790 --> 01:05:06,290
You didn't have much of a sleep, did
you?

1344
01:05:06,550 --> 01:05:09,790
No. I had a cold bath, four cups of
coffee and a bit of a walk.

1345
01:05:10,690 --> 01:05:12,470
What kind of job do you think they might
give you?

1346
01:05:12,910 --> 01:05:13,910
Test pilot.

1347
01:05:14,130 --> 01:05:15,130
Test pilot?

1348
01:05:15,250 --> 01:05:18,210
But you said a hundred times you'd never
go back to that after that crash in

1349
01:05:18,210 --> 01:05:20,730
Canada. You said you had no nerve or
judgment left.

1350
01:05:20,990 --> 01:05:23,230
Well, I had too many drinks that time in
Canada. You know that.

1351
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:27,300
Couple of months on the wagon, I'll be
the old ace again. The old dicer with

1352
01:05:27,300 --> 01:05:29,660
death. Don't use that idiotic RAF slang,
Freddy.

1353
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:31,760
Do you mind?

1354
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:33,160
This is too important.

1355
01:05:33,460 --> 01:05:34,379
Huh?

1356
01:05:34,380 --> 01:05:35,420
Yes, it is important.

1357
01:05:37,020 --> 01:05:38,060
And when do we leave?

1358
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:43,040
We don't.

1359
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:45,800
We don't?

1360
01:05:46,980 --> 01:05:49,900
You and I don't, Hess. That's what I'm
trying to tell you.

1361
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:51,320
I'm going alone.

1362
01:05:52,140 --> 01:05:53,140
Why, Freddy?

1363
01:05:53,470 --> 01:05:55,590
Well, if I'm to remain on the wagon,
I've got to be alert.

1364
01:05:56,570 --> 01:05:57,570
Are you?

1365
01:05:58,290 --> 01:05:59,290
Oh, heck.

1366
01:05:59,870 --> 01:06:01,150
That isn't the real reason.

1367
01:06:01,630 --> 01:06:02,630
Now, listen, Hess.

1368
01:06:03,130 --> 01:06:06,030
You've always said, haven't you, that I
don't really love you.

1369
01:06:06,330 --> 01:06:11,770
Well, I suppose in your sense, I don't.
But what I do feel for you is something

1370
01:06:11,770 --> 01:06:15,450
a great deal deeper than I've ever felt
before in my life, or ever will feel, I

1371
01:06:15,450 --> 01:06:16,408
should think.

1372
01:06:16,410 --> 01:06:18,150
That's why I went away with you in the
first place.

1373
01:06:18,770 --> 01:06:20,550
That's why I've stayed with you all this
time.

1374
01:06:20,910 --> 01:06:21,910
And that's why...

1375
01:06:22,490 --> 01:06:23,910
I must go away from you now.

1376
01:06:24,250 --> 01:06:26,310
It sounds rather like a prepared speech,
Freddy.

1377
01:06:27,710 --> 01:06:29,190
I suppose it is a bit prepared.

1378
01:06:29,510 --> 01:06:30,890
I worked it out on my walk.

1379
01:06:31,870 --> 01:06:33,670
But it's still true, Hess.

1380
01:06:34,270 --> 01:06:37,890
I'm too fond of you to let things slide.
That letter was a heck of a shock.

1381
01:06:38,610 --> 01:06:42,430
It's asking too damn much of any bloke
to go on as it happened when he knows

1382
01:06:42,430 --> 01:06:45,110
a fact that he's driving the only girl
he ever loved to suicide.

1383
01:06:45,550 --> 01:06:48,290
You think you're leaving me or you'll
drive me away? It's a risk both of us

1384
01:06:48,290 --> 01:06:49,290
have to face.

1385
01:06:49,770 --> 01:06:51,510
You mustn't scare me like this, Freddy.

1386
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:52,960
No scare, Hess.

1387
01:06:53,500 --> 01:06:54,500
This is on a level.

1388
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:57,900
You know perfectly well you'll feel
quite different in the morning. No, I

1389
01:06:57,900 --> 01:06:58,980
Hess. Not this time.

1390
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:02,200
Besides, I don't think I'll be here in
the morning.

1391
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:04,200
Where will you be?

1392
01:07:04,620 --> 01:07:05,620
Oh, I don't know.

1393
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,200
I think I'd better get out tonight.

1394
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:11,260
No, Freddy, no. Well, it's better that
way, Hess. I'm scared of your arguing.

1395
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:13,760
I know this is right, you see. I know
it.

1396
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:17,360
But with your gift to the gab, you'll
muddle things up for me again and I'll

1397
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:21,440
lost. I won't. I won't, Freddy. I
promise I won't. But you must stay

1398
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:22,658
Just tonight.

1399
01:07:22,660 --> 01:07:23,660
No, I'm sorry, Hess.

1400
01:07:24,060 --> 01:07:25,920
Just tonight, Freddie. Only tonight.

1401
01:07:26,220 --> 01:07:27,780
Hess, this is our last chance.

1402
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:32,100
We're deaf to each other, you and I.
It's not true. It is true, darling, and

1403
01:07:32,100 --> 01:07:33,260
you've known it longer than I have.

1404
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,080
I haven't finished them. They're all
right.

1405
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:39,640
Oh, I'm sorry, Hess.

1406
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:41,400
Oh, I'm sorry.

1407
01:07:42,020 --> 01:07:43,020
Please don't cry.

1408
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:44,540
You don't know what it does to me.

1409
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:46,910
I've got to get out of here. No, no.

1410
01:07:47,110 --> 01:07:48,410
Not this minute, Freddie.

1411
01:07:48,610 --> 01:07:51,730
Not just this minute. You've got all
your things here. You've got to pass.

1412
01:07:52,250 --> 01:07:55,530
You promised you'd be in for dinner. You
can't make a promise like that. I swear

1413
01:07:55,530 --> 01:07:59,250
I won't. You don't leave me alone,
Freddie. Don't leave me alone tonight.

1414
01:07:59,590 --> 01:08:00,830
Not tonight, Freddie.

1415
01:08:01,390 --> 01:08:03,630
Not tonight. Come back, Freddie.

1416
01:08:03,970 --> 01:08:05,090
Don't go, Freddie.

1417
01:08:06,090 --> 01:08:07,890
Oh, don't go, Freddie.

1418
01:08:08,830 --> 01:08:10,850
Freddie, don't leave me alone tonight.

1419
01:08:27,170 --> 01:08:28,810
Good evening, Mr Miller. Good evening.

1420
01:08:29,410 --> 01:08:31,590
Miss Elton was looking for you. She's
just gone upstairs.

1421
01:08:32,090 --> 01:08:33,410
Thank you. I've never heard anything
like it.

1422
01:08:33,649 --> 01:08:34,649
It was terrible.

1423
01:08:34,830 --> 01:08:37,609
I can't think what he must have been
saying to her. Are you sure he's really

1424
01:08:37,609 --> 01:08:38,349
left her?

1425
01:08:38,350 --> 01:08:40,290
Left her? He's gone for good.

1426
01:08:42,189 --> 01:08:43,189
That must be Flo.

1427
01:08:46,220 --> 01:08:47,779
Yes, I know, dear, but something
happened.

1428
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:57,319
Good evening, Mr Miller.

1429
01:08:57,700 --> 01:08:58,700
Good evening.

1430
01:08:59,500 --> 01:09:00,800
In at the hospital again?

1431
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:02,859
I think it's fine.

1432
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:04,640
What's fine?

1433
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:06,439
You're doing all that work for nothing.

1434
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,060
Tell me, Mr Miller, isn't there any
chance of your ever getting to be a

1435
01:09:11,060 --> 01:09:12,060
again? No.

1436
01:09:12,460 --> 01:09:15,800
But what you did wasn't as bad as all
that. What I did was enough to send me

1437
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:17,000
jail for a year, Mrs Elton.

1438
01:09:17,460 --> 01:09:18,460
Will you excuse me?

1439
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:19,880
Good night.

1440
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:21,200
Good night.

1441
01:09:23,460 --> 01:09:24,460
Oh, I nearly forgot.

1442
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:28,080
Mrs Page said to ask you if you could
give her something to make her sleep.

1443
01:09:28,319 --> 01:09:29,920
She had something to make her sleep last
night, hadn't she?

1444
01:09:30,220 --> 01:09:31,680
Oh, I don't think there's any danger.

1445
01:09:31,979 --> 01:09:32,839
Don't you?

1446
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:37,100
No. Not now he's left her. Miss Maxwell
and I both think that he's leaving her

1447
01:09:37,100 --> 01:09:38,920
for good is the best thing that could
ever happen.

1448
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:40,160
Don't you agree, Doctor?

1449
01:09:40,260 --> 01:09:43,560
It isn't as simple as that, Mrs Elton.
In this case, I'd say what happens isn't

1450
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:45,000
nearly as important as the way it
happens.

1451
01:09:45,420 --> 01:09:49,319
Well, I know what goes on inside
people's heads is your speciality, but

1452
01:09:49,319 --> 01:09:52,680
really think she needs him that much?
She doesn't need him. What she really

1453
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:54,200
needs is the knowledge of his need for
her.

1454
01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:55,640
Do you understand that, Mrs Elton?

1455
01:09:55,940 --> 01:09:57,120
No, I can't say I do.

1456
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:58,400
I was afraid you wouldn't.

1457
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:00,540
Anyway, you're right about something to
make her sleep.

1458
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:02,040
I'll go and see her in a few minutes.

1459
01:10:02,260 --> 01:10:03,260
Yes, Doctor.

1460
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:41,880
Hello?

1461
01:10:42,660 --> 01:10:43,660
Oh.

1462
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,360
No, he's not in yet, I'm afraid.

1463
01:10:46,620 --> 01:10:47,880
He has quite soon, I expect.

1464
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:49,600
It's about golf?

1465
01:10:50,440 --> 01:10:51,940
Yes, I'll tell him. I'll get him to ring
you.

1466
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:53,840
It's quite all right.

1467
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:55,000
Good night.

1468
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,320
Hello? Hello, Dicer. It's Hester.

1469
01:11:11,820 --> 01:11:12,820
Has he come in yet?

1470
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,060
Yes, I know you did. I just thought you
might have forgotten or something.

1471
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,160
It's so late and... Oh, is that all it
is?

1472
01:11:19,860 --> 01:11:20,860
I thought it was later.

1473
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:22,960
Just a minute, please.

1474
01:11:23,500 --> 01:11:26,780
Yes, please, Dicer. Ring me the moment
he comes in. Or if you hear anything,

1475
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:27,920
will you?

1476
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:29,000
Thank you very much.

1477
01:11:34,820 --> 01:11:35,679
Oh, good evening.

1478
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:36,680
I brought you these.

1479
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:38,920
Thank you, Doctor. I didn't expect that
you'd... What?

1480
01:11:39,700 --> 01:11:40,700
That you trust me.

1481
01:11:41,340 --> 01:11:42,680
They're quite mild. You can take two.

1482
01:11:43,460 --> 01:11:44,560
I hope I didn't disturb you.

1483
01:11:45,060 --> 01:11:46,060
Doctor, forgive me.

1484
01:11:46,180 --> 01:11:49,960
But you see, you're the only person I
feel I... who can tell me honestly what

1485
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:50,960
should... Tell you honestly what?

1486
01:11:51,700 --> 01:11:52,700
What I should do.

1487
01:11:53,540 --> 01:11:54,660
Don't use that thing again tonight.

1488
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:57,200
Don't answer it either. Take my pills
and go to sleep.

1489
01:11:57,520 --> 01:11:59,440
In the morning, go on living.

1490
01:12:00,020 --> 01:12:02,320
Good night, Mrs. Page. If I may, I'd
like to see you tomorrow.

1491
01:12:02,660 --> 01:12:03,660
Cool.

1492
01:13:02,620 --> 01:13:04,080
Hello? Hello, Di, I said did you ring?

1493
01:13:05,420 --> 01:13:07,580
Yes, I was in the other room.

1494
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:09,680
Who is there?

1495
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:11,200
Who's he with?

1496
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:12,800
Jackie.

1497
01:13:13,040 --> 01:13:15,540
No, no, keep him there as long as you
possibly can.

1498
01:13:15,820 --> 01:13:16,820
I'll be straight round.

1499
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:30,760
Mrs. Elton!

1500
01:13:30,940 --> 01:13:33,940
Mrs. Elton! The water's still running
cold.

1501
01:13:34,180 --> 01:13:35,180
All right, Mrs.

1502
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:36,240
Abrahamson.

1503
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:54,720
This fire truck, please. Come down.

1504
01:14:16,059 --> 01:14:18,840
Get me in some empties, will you? No,

1505
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:22,840
I'm sorry. Yes, he saw me on the phone.
I think he must have guessed. He's

1506
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,280
dashed out of here. I couldn't stop him.
Oh, is he very drunk?

1507
01:14:25,660 --> 01:14:26,660
Well, not too bad considering.

1508
01:14:26,940 --> 01:14:27,940
Do you know where they went?

1509
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,640
Well, Jackie said something about some
new club in Shaftesbury Avenue.

1510
01:14:30,900 --> 01:14:31,900
Do you remember the name?

1511
01:14:32,180 --> 01:14:33,180
Satellite, I think, yes.

1512
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:35,360
But they won't be there very long. It's
not their form at all.

1513
01:15:02,570 --> 01:15:03,570
Excuse me, madam.

1514
01:15:03,770 --> 01:15:04,770
Are you expecting someone?

1515
01:15:04,990 --> 01:15:06,150
I was looking for my husband.

1516
01:15:06,350 --> 01:15:08,530
Oh, it would be his name. Page. Page?

1517
01:15:08,890 --> 01:15:10,270
Oh, no, I didn't. This is Mr. Page here.

1518
01:15:10,790 --> 01:15:11,790
Let's see.

1519
01:15:17,130 --> 01:15:18,130
Yes, there's his signature.

1520
01:15:18,410 --> 01:15:19,329
Oh, yes, of course.

1521
01:15:19,330 --> 01:15:20,350
Some I didn't quite connect.

1522
01:15:21,070 --> 01:15:22,570
I'm afraid they only stayed about five
minutes.

1523
01:15:22,810 --> 01:15:25,350
Oh. They didn't seem to like the place
very much. Do you know where they went?

1524
01:15:25,590 --> 01:15:26,630
In the Vegas idea, I'm afraid.

1525
01:15:26,990 --> 01:15:27,990
Rennie!

1526
01:15:28,410 --> 01:15:30,270
The two gentlemen on the left just a
moment ago, remember?

1527
01:15:30,490 --> 01:15:31,770
Yes, sir. Do you know where they went?

1528
01:15:32,010 --> 01:15:33,390
Oh, yes, madam. I have to do a bludge,
I'm sure.

1529
01:15:33,670 --> 01:15:35,530
Now, let me think. It was somewhere off
Greek Street.

1530
01:15:35,750 --> 01:15:37,910
Thank you. The second or third turning
to your left.

1531
01:15:38,410 --> 01:15:41,130
I'm afraid I don't remember the name of
the place, but... Thank you very much.

1532
01:15:41,270 --> 01:15:42,890
Oh, thank you, madam. Delighted, I'm
sure.

1533
01:15:47,950 --> 01:15:51,490
Well, miss, have your two gents turned
up yet? No, I'm afraid not. You can try

1534
01:15:51,490 --> 01:15:53,370
across the road. A taxi pulled up there
a while ago.

1535
01:15:53,590 --> 01:15:54,590
Oh, thank you very much.

1536
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,620
Have a Mr. Page and a Mr. Jackson. No,
miss, there's only three people inside

1537
01:16:05,620 --> 01:16:08,860
and I know them all. We don't really get
started till after the pubs close.

1538
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:13,120
Oh, pardon me, I gather you're being
stood up. It's a frightfully odd

1539
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:16,580
coincidence that exactly the same things
happen to me. Don't be too hasty,

1540
01:16:16,580 --> 01:16:19,420
perhaps I can help you. Please, have two
gentlemen gone in in the last half

1541
01:16:19,420 --> 01:16:22,700
hour. One of them's dressed up. Last
half hour, lady? You couldn't get a cat

1542
01:16:22,700 --> 01:16:23,940
there for the past two hours.

1543
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:28,800
You want to make a reservation, you
should ring up a... Nothing much down

1544
01:16:28,860 --> 01:16:29,860
lady.

1545
01:16:55,310 --> 01:16:58,930
Freddie, why don't you give her a call?
No, Jackie. No, for Pete's sake.

1546
01:16:59,230 --> 01:17:01,570
Where's this angel place you're always
talking about? Watch this up this way.

1547
01:17:09,430 --> 01:17:15,550
Looking for somebody?

1548
01:17:15,990 --> 01:17:17,750
Yes, yes, I am.

1549
01:17:18,190 --> 01:17:19,430
Don't play dumb, baby.

1550
01:17:19,650 --> 01:17:21,910
Take a tip. If you're going to do any
hanging around, go and do it somewhere

1551
01:17:21,910 --> 01:17:22,910
else.

1552
01:17:52,390 --> 01:17:55,910
Excuse me, but have you seen... In a
minute, Sarah. I can't be everywhere at

1553
01:17:55,910 --> 01:17:58,610
once. I'm so sorry, but it really is
very... I wonder...

1554
01:17:58,610 --> 01:18:05,470
Well, I never fancy seeing you

1555
01:18:05,470 --> 01:18:09,090
here. I'm looking for Mr. Page. Have you
seen him? Oh, no, you don't mean to

1556
01:18:09,090 --> 01:18:10,950
tell me after all he's done to you. You
mean to say yourself.

1557
01:18:11,210 --> 01:18:12,029
Have you seen him?

1558
01:18:12,030 --> 01:18:13,750
No, not tonight, but he's easy enough to
find.

1559
01:18:14,190 --> 01:18:16,870
Here, have this. It's Flo's, but she
won't mind.

1560
01:18:17,230 --> 01:18:20,570
Gladys! Another double scotch, please.
Oh, and Gladys, have you seen Freddie

1561
01:18:20,570 --> 01:18:21,570
Page in here tonight?

1562
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:23,080
Well, you know him, don't you?

1563
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:24,420
No, dear, can't I?

1564
01:18:24,660 --> 01:18:25,239
I do.

1565
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:26,700
I'm not good with their names anyway.

1566
01:18:27,180 --> 01:18:28,760
Steve will know. I'll ask him.

1567
01:18:29,080 --> 01:18:32,660
Paige was the name? Yes, and Mr.
Jackson. Right, yeah. Well, how anybody

1568
01:18:32,660 --> 01:18:36,260
themselves worked up in this sort of
tizzy about just love? Well, I simply

1569
01:18:36,260 --> 01:18:37,660
understand. I suppose it is difficult.

1570
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:39,020
Steve's just coming, dear.

1571
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:41,580
Difficult? It's all in your imagination,
dear.

1572
01:18:41,980 --> 01:18:45,280
After all, when everything's said and
done, what is it all? A man and a woman.

1573
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:48,100
bit of give and take. A little bit of
lovey -doveys. And one or two other

1574
01:18:48,100 --> 01:18:51,380
things. But nothing worth losing a
moment's sleep over. Oh, fly!

1575
01:18:51,610 --> 01:18:54,010
Oh, come over here a minute. I want you
to meet a friend of mine.

1576
01:18:54,430 --> 01:18:56,150
Take Mr. Higgins, for example.

1577
01:18:56,470 --> 01:18:58,810
If ever he gets a bit tricky, there's
always Mr. Watson.

1578
01:18:59,290 --> 01:19:00,430
That's always been my motto.

1579
01:19:00,690 --> 01:19:03,430
My dear, the sea's simply chock -a -lot
full of fish. That is.

1580
01:19:03,870 --> 01:19:06,310
Which was a party I was asking about,
pretty please. Yes, is he here?

1581
01:19:06,530 --> 01:19:09,370
Well, he was in, but I saw him go out
just a little while ago. Oh, thank you.

1582
01:19:09,370 --> 01:19:12,110
Come on, forget it. I'll take you to
meet some friends. You love Flo.

1583
01:19:12,310 --> 01:19:14,290
She's a... Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sure.

1584
01:19:14,870 --> 01:19:17,650
That's all right, seeing as it's... Yes,
thank God you're here.

1585
01:19:17,910 --> 01:19:19,530
I only missed you by a minute at your
slack.

1586
01:19:19,870 --> 01:19:22,750
Mrs. Elton suggested the Spitfire Club,
and there the trail was easy.

1587
01:19:23,410 --> 01:19:24,410
Freddie?

1588
01:19:24,870 --> 01:19:27,110
When did you get it? An hour ago. It was
in the letterbox.

1589
01:19:27,970 --> 01:19:28,970
It's true, I suppose.

1590
01:19:31,130 --> 01:19:32,130
Yes, it's true.

1591
01:19:32,350 --> 01:19:35,550
I rather like his praise. Sorry to cause
you so much bother. It has a nice ring

1592
01:19:35,550 --> 01:19:37,050
of RAF understatement, don't you think?

1593
01:19:38,110 --> 01:19:39,110
Come along.

1594
01:19:46,550 --> 01:19:47,550
Thank you, Bill.

1595
01:19:47,690 --> 01:19:48,950
It was just the air in there.

1596
01:19:52,050 --> 01:19:54,210
I think I'll walk, Bill. Get inside,
will you?

1597
01:19:55,810 --> 01:19:56,830
Back to Chester Square.

1598
01:20:09,870 --> 01:20:12,650
No, Bill, I'm afraid... We saw it
together at the St. James's Galleries.

1599
01:20:12,970 --> 01:20:16,190
You wanted me to buy it, and I read you
a lecture on extravagance. Oh, yes, of

1600
01:20:16,190 --> 01:20:17,990
course. As you see, I've changed my
mind.

1601
01:20:19,390 --> 01:20:21,110
Let me take your coach. No, thank you,
Bill.

1602
01:20:22,730 --> 01:20:25,150
I must apologize for the mess. I had
some people in to dinner.

1603
01:20:25,630 --> 01:20:29,690
An American judge and his wife, Johnny
DeSantos. He's an ambassador now, you

1604
01:20:29,690 --> 01:20:30,890
know. He's being transferred to
Belgrade.

1605
01:20:31,330 --> 01:20:32,490
And Olive Templeton.

1606
01:20:32,950 --> 01:20:35,270
They say she dropped the usual cartload
of bricks.

1607
01:20:35,550 --> 01:20:36,550
Poor Olive.

1608
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,340
She always looks so sad when she drops
those bricks, doesn't she? Like a

1609
01:20:39,340 --> 01:20:40,340
startled panda.

1610
01:20:45,020 --> 01:20:51,980
If only I could say something that could

1611
01:20:51,980 --> 01:20:52,980
help you.

1612
01:20:56,860 --> 01:20:59,080
I'm so sorry, Bill.

1613
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:00,720
I'll get you a brandy.

1614
01:21:04,320 --> 01:21:05,420
Here, this is really good.

1615
01:21:07,050 --> 01:21:08,050
Napoleon unadulterated.

1616
01:21:08,950 --> 01:21:09,950
Thank you.

1617
01:21:11,570 --> 01:21:15,490
Hester, I do hope you realize what I...
what it is I've been trying to say to

1618
01:21:15,490 --> 01:21:16,449
you today.

1619
01:21:16,450 --> 01:21:17,610
Yes, Bill, I think I do.

1620
01:21:18,370 --> 01:21:22,170
But you see, I can't come back here as
your wife because I no longer am your

1621
01:21:22,170 --> 01:21:26,330
wife. We can't wipe out the last year as
if it had never happened, can we?

1622
01:21:26,930 --> 01:21:28,030
Don't you understand that?

1623
01:21:28,450 --> 01:21:31,710
I only understand that I'm even more in
love with you now than the day we

1624
01:21:31,710 --> 01:21:32,710
married.

1625
01:21:32,890 --> 01:21:34,610
You weren't in love with me then, Bill.

1626
01:21:35,050 --> 01:21:37,610
And you aren't in love with me now. If I
wasn't in love with you, why do you

1627
01:21:37,610 --> 01:21:40,810
suppose I married you? Oh, my dear, I'm
not denying that you married for love,

1628
01:21:40,970 --> 01:21:43,710
for your idea of love, as I did for
mine.

1629
01:21:44,890 --> 01:21:46,890
They just weren't the same idea, that's
all.

1630
01:21:47,870 --> 01:21:54,430
You see, I had more, far more to give
you than you ever wanted, or had time to

1631
01:21:54,430 --> 01:21:55,430
accept from me.

1632
01:21:55,470 --> 01:21:56,469
You may be right.

1633
01:21:56,470 --> 01:21:59,650
I find it easy to judge other people,
but hard to judge myself.

1634
01:22:00,510 --> 01:22:02,710
I... How shall I say it?

1635
01:22:03,750 --> 01:22:06,250
You're probably the only person in the
world I've always been a little

1636
01:22:06,250 --> 01:22:07,250
frightened of.

1637
01:22:07,530 --> 01:22:09,290
Me, Bill? But that's ridiculous.

1638
01:22:09,710 --> 01:22:10,850
Well, the truth often is, isn't it?

1639
01:22:11,750 --> 01:22:16,710
But the important thing is that now,
more than ever, I want your love.

1640
01:22:17,510 --> 01:22:18,510
No, Bill.

1641
01:22:18,670 --> 01:22:20,250
What you want is a loving wife.

1642
01:22:20,650 --> 01:22:22,110
There's all the difference in the world.

1643
01:22:23,470 --> 01:22:26,710
I don't want you to drive me home. I'll
find my own way. Hester, whatever your

1644
01:22:26,710 --> 01:22:29,910
feelings may or may not be for me, don't
you see that I'm offering her your only

1645
01:22:29,910 --> 01:22:30,910
chance of life?

1646
01:22:31,070 --> 01:22:32,550
Why can't you accept it?

1647
01:22:32,940 --> 01:22:34,180
It worked quite happily once.

1648
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:35,759
Yes, it did.

1649
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:37,760
Quite happily. Well, then surely...

1650
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:45,100
You

1651
01:22:45,100 --> 01:22:47,400
see, Bill, I'm no longer the same
person.

1652
01:22:52,860 --> 01:22:53,860
I'll get you a taxi.

1653
01:23:03,340 --> 01:23:04,720
How much is that, please? Two and a
half.

1654
01:23:05,420 --> 01:23:06,420
Thank you.

1655
01:23:11,420 --> 01:23:12,420
I say, lady!

1656
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:38,080
Freddy? Freddy?

1657
01:23:41,420 --> 01:23:43,080
Caught in the act. I'm sorry, Hess.

1658
01:23:43,620 --> 01:23:45,000
Did he send you to fetch his things?

1659
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:48,520
Yeah, yeah, just enough for a couple of
days or so. He gave me the key.

1660
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:53,120
He's, um... I tried to get him to do his
own dirty work, but he said that... He

1661
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:54,820
was afraid of what I might do to keep
him here.

1662
01:23:55,940 --> 01:23:56,940
Where is he now?

1663
01:23:57,380 --> 01:23:58,380
Um, I don't know.

1664
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,460
But you were with him. You think I'm an
awful heel, but you see, Hess, for the

1665
01:24:01,460 --> 01:24:03,000
first time, Freddy is talking sense
tonight.

1666
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:05,260
The hard way is the best way, believe
me.

1667
01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:08,020
Hess, you mustn't think I don't know
what you're going through at this

1668
01:24:08,540 --> 01:24:09,318
Doesn't I?

1669
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:11,040
I've had something like it myself, too,
you know.

1670
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,100
Don't ever tell Liz, but we came as near
to a bust -up as any two people can.

1671
01:24:15,440 --> 01:24:16,860
It was over a model girl.

1672
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:21,700
Gosh, she was something. She had a pair
of legs on her that... Well, anyway, it

1673
01:24:21,700 --> 01:24:23,840
was purely physical, nothing else. I
grant that now.

1674
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,520
But at the time, it seemed like all I
could ever want from life.

1675
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:27,800
So you know what I did, Hess?

1676
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:31,840
With all the willpower I got, I wrote
her a letter saying we were through.

1677
01:24:32,270 --> 01:24:34,470
Went off somewhere for a couple of weeks
entirely alone.

1678
01:24:34,930 --> 01:24:37,450
And when I came back, I was cured.

1679
01:24:38,610 --> 01:24:40,290
I'm so glad. Where did you go?

1680
01:24:40,550 --> 01:24:41,550
Uh, deal.

1681
01:24:41,670 --> 01:24:44,710
Oh, yes, I know. There's a very good
golf course. Oh, sure. Well, the golf

1682
01:24:44,710 --> 01:24:45,710
helped, too, quite a bit.

1683
01:24:46,010 --> 01:24:47,230
But then you don't play, do you?

1684
01:24:47,790 --> 01:24:51,230
No, it's a pity, isn't it? Oh, but the
point is, Hess, if you have time to get

1685
01:24:51,230 --> 01:24:54,830
things in perspective, you'll see how
awfully petty it all really is.

1686
01:24:55,150 --> 01:24:59,850
Well, heck, I'm no preacher, but it is
the spiritual values that count in life,

1687
01:24:59,910 --> 01:25:00,599
isn't it?

1688
01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:04,720
I mean, the physical side is really
awfully unimportant, objectively

1689
01:25:05,560 --> 01:25:06,560
Objectively speaking?

1690
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:08,540
Thank you for the advice, Jackie.

1691
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:09,920
Oh, that's okay.

1692
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:11,240
Thank you for listening to it.

1693
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:14,360
Gosh, what a strange thing human nature
can be.

1694
01:25:14,660 --> 01:25:18,000
Yes, it can be. Tell me, did Freddy ask
you to take that bag to the station or

1695
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,360
back to the White Angel? Oh, back to the
White... Back to where he is.

1696
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:24,780
Would you mind leaving that bag? Oh, I
can't do that. I promise, Freddy.

1697
01:25:25,700 --> 01:25:26,700
Oh, yes, please.

1698
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,620
Just apologize for that rather
melodramatic gesture. Sit down, Jackie.

1699
01:25:33,100 --> 01:25:34,260
I won't keep you long.

1700
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:39,100
We'll have a splendid chance now of
reinforcing your view about the

1701
01:25:39,100 --> 01:25:40,120
of human nature.

1702
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:45,300
Look, Hess, I... Honestly, I don't think
you should.

1703
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:53,440
Hello? Hello, White Angel?

1704
01:25:53,980 --> 01:25:55,240
Is Mr. Page there?

1705
01:25:56,380 --> 01:25:57,380
Mr. Page?

1706
01:25:58,100 --> 01:25:59,100
Yes, that's right.

1707
01:26:00,460 --> 01:26:02,900
There's an awful lot of noise. The phone
must be in the bar.

1708
01:26:06,620 --> 01:26:08,100
Hello? Hello, Freddie?

1709
01:26:08,480 --> 01:26:09,480
Darling, it's Hester.

1710
01:26:09,740 --> 01:26:13,120
No, don't ring off, please. No scene, I
promise. I promise, I promise.

1711
01:26:14,220 --> 01:26:18,000
Freddie, I just wanted to know what you
wanted done with the rest of your

1712
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:19,000
things.

1713
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:21,000
Oh?

1714
01:26:21,660 --> 01:26:22,700
When did you post it?

1715
01:26:24,100 --> 01:26:25,160
I'll get it tomorrow, then.

1716
01:26:26,480 --> 01:26:28,360
In the cloakroom at Charing Cross
Station?

1717
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:30,400
Yes.

1718
01:26:30,540 --> 01:26:31,540
Yes, I'll see to that.

1719
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:33,320
Look, look, Freddie.

1720
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:36,820
There's just one last thing I want you
to do for me.

1721
01:26:38,020 --> 01:26:40,280
I said there's one last thing I want you
to do.

1722
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:42,620
Come and collect your bag yourself.

1723
01:26:43,440 --> 01:26:44,820
Just to say goodbye, that's all.

1724
01:26:45,860 --> 01:26:49,460
No, I won't, I won't. I swear on my most
sacred word of honour I won't try and

1725
01:26:49,460 --> 01:26:50,460
make you stay.

1726
01:26:50,620 --> 01:26:52,440
I won't even speak if you don't want me
to.

1727
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,900
I... I just want to see you again,
that's all.

1728
01:26:57,780 --> 01:26:58,780
Oh, Freddie.

1729
01:26:58,960 --> 01:26:59,960
Freddy, trust me.

1730
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:02,700
Freddy, trust me, for Freddy's sake.
Freddy!

1731
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:04,120
Freddy!

1732
01:27:06,700 --> 01:27:07,180
Good

1733
01:27:07,180 --> 01:27:25,960
night,

1734
01:27:25,980 --> 01:27:27,200
Jackie. Good night, Esk.

1735
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:33,460
all right alone, aren't you? I mean,
you're not going to do anything silly

1736
01:27:33,460 --> 01:27:35,660
tonight. You must have learned your
lesson now.

1737
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:37,700
Yes, I've learned my lesson.

1738
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,100
Gosh, I think he should have come. He
should have trusted you, Hess. He was

1739
01:27:41,100 --> 01:27:44,180
quite right not to. But you gave me your
sacred word of honor.

1740
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,980
It may add to your appreciation of the
spiritual values if I told you I hadn't

1741
01:27:47,980 --> 01:27:49,660
the slightest intention of keeping my
word.

1742
01:27:50,140 --> 01:27:51,340
He knew that, of course.

1743
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,500
Sonny, you have exactly the same
expression on your face as my father

1744
01:27:57,500 --> 01:27:58,580
had if I'd said that to him.

1745
01:27:59,430 --> 01:28:02,630
He believed in the importance of the
spiritual values and the pettiness of

1746
01:28:02,630 --> 01:28:03,630
physical side.

1747
01:28:05,090 --> 01:28:06,470
Take that back to Freddy now.

1748
01:28:13,790 --> 01:28:15,650
Should I give Freddy any kind of message
from you?

1749
01:28:16,910 --> 01:28:17,910
Just my love.

1750
01:29:39,520 --> 01:29:40,520
Who is it?

1751
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:42,920
Miller. What do you want? I was just
going to bed.

1752
01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:45,280
I want to see you. Can't it wait till
the morning?

1753
01:29:45,580 --> 01:29:46,580
No.

1754
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:47,680
Just a moment.

1755
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:03,840
Determine not to be disturbed.

1756
01:30:04,100 --> 01:30:05,620
I usually lock my door at night.

1757
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:07,280
Lucky you didn't last night.

1758
01:30:10,990 --> 01:30:12,290
I want those sleeping pills. Why?

1759
01:30:12,910 --> 01:30:15,690
I've been involved with the police
enough in my life. Where are they? On

1760
01:30:15,690 --> 01:30:16,690
table where you left them.

1761
01:30:16,990 --> 01:30:18,870
You trusted me an hour ago. Why not now?

1762
01:30:19,630 --> 01:30:23,430
Because if you put a rug against a door,
it's wiser to do it after the lights

1763
01:30:23,430 --> 01:30:25,890
are out. Why are you spying on me? Why
can't you leave me alone?

1764
01:30:26,210 --> 01:30:28,670
What do you expect me to do? Sit in my
room and let you die? Why not?

1765
01:30:29,030 --> 01:30:31,770
What have I got to live for now? No less
than anybody else who's alive tonight.

1766
01:30:31,770 --> 01:30:35,210
That's not true. It's not true. You have
condemned yourself to death. And I have

1767
01:30:35,210 --> 01:30:37,410
the right to protest against the
unfairness of your own sentence.

1768
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:39,820
The least you can do is to face the
fact. But I do.

1769
01:30:40,260 --> 01:30:41,260
No, you don't.

1770
01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:43,460
You pretend to think that your Freddy
has left you forever.

1771
01:30:43,860 --> 01:30:47,540
But you know he hasn't. He has left me
forever. That's just what I can't face.

1772
01:30:48,260 --> 01:30:51,020
Oh, yes, you can. What you can't, or
rather don't want to face, is the truth.

1773
01:30:51,440 --> 01:30:54,440
Namely, that Freddy needs you much more
than you need him. What are you talking

1774
01:30:54,440 --> 01:30:57,300
about? I've just been pleading with him
on the telephone. He didn't even listen

1775
01:30:57,300 --> 01:30:57,799
to me.

1776
01:30:57,800 --> 01:30:59,220
That's how much he needs me.

1777
01:30:59,440 --> 01:31:01,900
He didn't listen because he hasn't the
strength to stand up to you. You know

1778
01:31:01,900 --> 01:31:02,900
that.

1779
01:31:03,380 --> 01:31:04,380
What?

1780
01:31:05,480 --> 01:31:06,480
Maybe I...

1781
01:31:07,230 --> 01:31:08,230
I don't know.

1782
01:31:08,570 --> 01:31:12,250
But what I do know is that I have the
strength to see him go.

1783
01:31:12,510 --> 01:31:15,410
I don't think it will be long before
he'll defect you. Then you may have that

1784
01:31:15,410 --> 01:31:19,190
strength. Because you realize that it
isn't you, but he who is the weak one.

1785
01:31:19,190 --> 01:31:19,989
it's more important.

1786
01:31:19,990 --> 01:31:23,970
You may also realize that if you are
both to be saved, you are the only

1787
01:31:23,970 --> 01:31:25,310
Please try to understand this.

1788
01:31:25,670 --> 01:31:29,630
If you are both to be saved, you are the
only one who has the courage to do it.

1789
01:31:29,710 --> 01:31:30,710
I have no courage.

1790
01:31:31,150 --> 01:31:33,270
I have far too much respect for you to
believe that you have. Respect?

1791
01:31:33,710 --> 01:31:35,630
Yes, respect. Please don't be too bad.

1792
01:31:36,350 --> 01:31:37,350
Listen, my friend.

1793
01:31:37,470 --> 01:31:41,270
To see yourself as the world sees you
may be very brave. It can also be very

1794
01:31:41,270 --> 01:31:44,550
foolish. Why accept the world's view of
you as a weak -willed failure, better

1795
01:31:44,550 --> 01:31:45,429
dead than alive?

1796
01:31:45,430 --> 01:31:46,550
What right have they to judge?

1797
01:31:46,990 --> 01:31:50,430
To judge you, then, is to have the
capacity to feel as you feel. Who has?

1798
01:31:50,430 --> 01:31:51,188
a thousand.

1799
01:31:51,190 --> 01:31:52,550
You alone know how you felt.

1800
01:31:53,090 --> 01:31:54,610
I tried to be good and failed.

1801
01:31:55,090 --> 01:31:58,070
That's the excuse all criminals give,
isn't it? When they make it justly, it's

1802
01:31:58,070 --> 01:31:59,070
just excuse.

1803
01:31:59,230 --> 01:32:00,970
But does it let them escape their
sentence?

1804
01:32:01,210 --> 01:32:02,210
Yes, if the judge is fair.

1805
01:32:02,430 --> 01:32:04,950
And not blinded hatred of the criminal,
as you are for yourself.

1806
01:32:05,340 --> 01:32:08,500
You can give me one extenuating
circumstance, one reason why I should

1807
01:32:08,500 --> 01:32:09,640
myself, even a little.

1808
01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:16,120
Hello.

1809
01:32:17,500 --> 01:32:18,500
Hello.

1810
01:32:18,900 --> 01:32:20,380
That reason you must find for yourself.

1811
01:32:22,860 --> 01:32:24,060
Good evening, Mr. Bale. Good evening.

1812
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:26,540
Did I interrupt something?

1813
01:32:29,260 --> 01:32:30,260
No, not really.

1814
01:32:33,060 --> 01:32:34,520
Seems quite a good bloke, old Miller.

1815
01:32:36,130 --> 01:32:42,390
I... I must confess I was a bit... If
you are both to be saved, you are the

1816
01:32:42,390 --> 01:32:46,130
one who has the courage to do it.
Anyway, I rang him tonight.

1817
01:32:46,530 --> 01:32:48,890
I wanted him to take a look at you, see
you were all right.

1818
01:32:49,270 --> 01:32:50,350
We had quite a long chat.

1819
01:32:50,990 --> 01:32:53,910
It's funny how much he seems to know
about what makes people tick.

1820
01:32:54,910 --> 01:32:56,550
Don't stand in the door, Freddy. Come
in.

1821
01:33:02,530 --> 01:33:03,730
Did you come with your bag?

1822
01:33:05,470 --> 01:33:06,470
Yes, I suppose so.

1823
01:33:06,950 --> 01:33:09,590
Jackie took it with him. I expect he'll
leave it at the White Angel.

1824
01:33:09,950 --> 01:33:11,850
Oh, well, I'll get it all right.

1825
01:33:12,870 --> 01:33:13,870
Thank you for coming.

1826
01:33:14,050 --> 01:33:15,050
That's okay.

1827
01:33:16,050 --> 01:33:17,210
When do you actually leave?

1828
01:33:17,730 --> 01:33:20,190
Well, I don't know exactly. It's not
really settled yet.

1829
01:33:20,430 --> 01:33:21,510
You're flying, I suppose.

1830
01:33:21,830 --> 01:33:22,830
Yes, I suppose so.

1831
01:33:23,530 --> 01:33:26,130
I'll pack the rest of your things and
get them to Charing Cross tomorrow

1832
01:33:26,130 --> 01:33:27,350
morning. Oh, there's no hurry.

1833
01:33:27,790 --> 01:33:28,970
I'd prefer to do it tonight.

1834
01:33:30,530 --> 01:33:31,530
Yes.

1835
01:33:31,930 --> 01:33:33,770
I did a stupid thing tonight.

1836
01:33:34,860 --> 01:33:37,020
I dropped a note in Bill's house. Yes, I
know.

1837
01:33:37,500 --> 01:33:39,100
Oh. Are you going... No.

1838
01:33:40,300 --> 01:33:42,000
It wouldn't have worked again, would it?
No.

1839
01:33:43,700 --> 01:33:46,740
Yes, I've had a lot of time tonight to
think over what happened this afternoon.

1840
01:33:47,060 --> 01:33:49,300
I promised I wouldn't talk about that.
Yes, I know you did.

1841
01:33:54,400 --> 01:33:58,240
Well... Well, goodbye, Freddie.

1842
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:42,800
Thank you for everything.

1843
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:44,600
Thank you, too.

1844
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:10,760
I'm going to miss you, Hess.

1845
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:16,600
Goodbye.

1846
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:58,000
Thank you.
