( knocks loudly )

Man:
WHAT DO YOU WANT?

- I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT.
- Man: WITH WHO?

I'M NOT SURE.
MY MOTHER WORKS HERE.

AND WHO'S YOUR MOTHER?

SALLY-- MRS. DIX.

( vacuum buzzing )

YOU'D BETTER
COME WITH ME.

DOES HE LIVE HERE
ALL ON HIS OWN?

MR. GRAHAM DOESN'T LIVE HERE.
HE'S ACROSS THE ROAD.

NUMBER 31.

WELL, WHO LIVES HERE THEN?

NO ONE.

Sally:
HERE IS HE, JEAN,
LIKE I SAID.

SO YOU'RE JOE.

JOE, SAY HELLO
TO MRS. HOPKINS.

Sally:
HE DOESN'T
TALK A LOT, DO YOU, JOE?

WELL, JOE, AS IT HAPPENS,

MR. GRAHAM IS HERE TODAY,
WHICH IS A REAL PIECE OF LUCK.

SO I'M GOING
TO TAKE YOU TO HIM.

BE CAREFUL.

MR. GRAHAM,
THIS IS JOE.

HE'LL BE ON THE FRONT DOOR
IN THE AFTERNOON

- BETWEEN 1:00 AND 6:00...
- ( squeaking )

...TO GIVE DAVE
A BIT OF A BREAK
AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

Sally:
HE'S VERY RELIABLE, MR. GRAHAM.

EVERYBODY ALWAYS SAYS
JOE'S REALLY PUNCTUAL--

- HIS SCHOOL REPORTS
AND EVERYTHING.
- Graham: EXCELLENT.

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO?

YEAH.

AND YOU'LL WRITE DOWN
EVERYBODY THAT CALLS,

KEEP A RECORD FOR ME?

YEAH. SURE.

( train screeching )

Sally:
I LOOK SO TIRED, DON'T I?

I SO WANT TO LOOK
GOOD TONIGHT.

DO I SEEM REALLY OLD
AND TIRED, JOE?

NO. YOU DON'T.

YOU DID REALLY WELL TODAY.

JUST THE CLOTHES, MAYBE...

COULD'VE BEEN
A LITTLE SMARTER.

- ( men shouting )
- WHEN YOU GO TOMORROW,
YOU PUT YOUR BEST CLOTHES ON.

- YOU REMEMBER?
- HEY, LOOK, THERE'S THAT
WEIRDO KID.

- ( men shouting )
- IT'S GREAT YOU GOT
THE JOB THOUGH.

- HEY, WEIRDO.
- COME DOWN.

- COME ON, THEN.
- ( all shouting )

Sally:
YOU WON'T SEE MR. GRAHAM
AGAIN ANYWAY, PROBABLY,

NOT FOR A LONG TIME.

( knocks )

DOES THIS BELONG HERE?

- NO.
- DO YOU KNOW
WHOSE IT IS?

NO.

WELL, YOU'D THINK
SOMEBODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

WOULD DEAL WITH IT.

SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE,
DOESN'T IT?

IT CAN'T COME IN HERE.

( rock music blaring
from headphones )

Joe's voice:
NO CALLERS TODAY.

SAW MR. GRAHAM DOING UP
HIS SHOELACES IN THE RAIN.

( bell ringing )

- IS DAVE THERE?
- NO.

RIGHT. AND WHO ARE YOU?

I'M HERE FOR DAVE
IN THE AFTERNOONS.

REALLY? YOU'RE HERE FOR DAVE?

CAN I COME IN?

- NO.
- NO?

( chuckling )
WHAT, JUST LIKE THAT?

I'M NOT A BURGLAR
OR ANYTHING.

SHE KNOWS ME.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO COME IN?

I'VE GOT A MEETING
WITH MR. GRAHAM OVER THE ROAD

AND I'M A LITTLE EARLY, SO...

YOU'RE GREAT
AT SECURITY.

YOU'RE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT
TO GET PAST THAN DAVE.

I'M RICHARD REECE.
I'M A MEMBER
OF THE GOVERNMENT,

SO YOU MAY WANT TO THROW ME
BACK OUT IN THE RAIN NOW.

- AND YOU?
- I'M JOE.

HELLO, JOE.

I NEVER CAN GET OVER
THESE FLOWERS.

ALL THESE FRESH FLOWERS
EVERY TIME I COME.

NOT THAT I'M ALLOWED
IN HERE THAT OFTEN, AND...

DAVE NEVER LETS ME
GET PAST THE HALL.

THIS IS EXCITING.

Richard:
AMAZING.

( laughing )
SLIPPERS, EVEN.

FRESH SOAP...

BATHROBES...

ALL THESE ROOMS
PERFECTLY TENDED.

AND IT'S ONLY EVER
SEEN BY THE CLEANERS.

IT'S LIKE A BIG SHIP
ABOUT TO SET OFF SOMEWHERE,
ISN'T IT?

YEAH.

SO, JOE,

IT'S VERY GOOD
TO MEET YOU.

YOU SHOULD GET THEM
TO ARRANGE A DESK VIEW

WITH A GOOD CHAIR
AND A PHONE MAYBE,

LIKE A PROPER CONCIERGE--

A PROPER SECURITY PERSON,

WHICH YOU UNDOUBTEDLY ARE.

WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING?

IT'S AFTER 6:00.

YOU NEED TO STAY AWHILE.

AND THAT'S AN ORDER.

COME HERE, JOE.

COME ON.
DON'T BE AFRAID.

FOLLOW ME.

FOLLOW ME.

( dishes shattering )

YOU'VE GOT
TO STAY FOR A WHILE

TO STOP ME
BREAKING THINGS.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

THAT'S A GOOD
QUESTION, JOE.

YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN UP ON THE ROOF,

HAVE YOU, JOE?

ON THE ROOF?
WHAT, OF HERE?

NO.

I THINK THAT'S
WHERE WE'VE GOT TO GO.

( keys jangling )

COME ON. YOU CAN
COME CLOSER THAN THAT.

DON'T BE SCARED.

ONLY ONE OF US
CAN GO OVER TONIGHT.

PROBABLY WON'T BE YOU.

ONCE YOU'RE HERE
WORKING IN THIS HOUSE,

THEY'LL NEVER
WANT TO SACK YOU.

THEY DON'T LIKE CHANGE.

DIDN'T WANT ME TO LEAVE.

SO THEY BROUGHT YOU ALONG
TO MAKE MY LIFE EASIER.

BUT I'VE GOT TO GET
OUT OF HERE, JOE.

WHEN HIS FATHER WAS ALIVE,
IT WAS DIFFERENT.

THIS PLACE WAS FUN.

PARTIES, TWICE A WEEK.

DON'T BE FOOLED
BY MR. GRAHAM EITHER,

AT HIS BUMBLING ACT.

HE WAS IN THE ARMY.

DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE,
I KNOW, BUT HE WAS.

SPECIAL UNIT.

KILLED PEOPLE
WITH HIS BARE HANDS.

BE CAREFUL.

HE CAN BE A VERY
FRIGHTENING GUY, JOE.

YOU CAN GO NOW.

GO ON.

JUST DON'T LOOK BACK.

DON'T, JOE.

DON'T LOOK BACK.

GO ON.

Hopkins:
DAVE WON'T BE
WORKING HERE ANYMORE.

WE WANT TO OFFER
HIS JOB TO YOU, JOE,

EXCEPT AT NIGHT,
OF COURSE.

WE'VE ARRANGED FOR
A PROPER SECURITY GUARD
TO COME HERE AT NIGHT.

HE DIDN'T JUMP, DID HE?

DAVE? OFF THE ROOF?

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

WHAT GAVE YOU THAT IDEA?

HE'S GONE BACK
TO SCOTLAND.

WELL, THAT'S LUCKY...

THAT HE DIDN'T JUMP.

SO, JOE, YOU'LL
BE HERE ALL DAY

UNTIL MR. JAMES,
THE SECURITY GUARD,
ARRIVES AT NIGHT.

WHICH MEANS THAT BETWEEN
6:00 P.M. AND 9:00 P.M.

YOU'LL BE ALONE
IN THE HOUSE,

AND DURING THAT TIME
YOU MUSTN'T LET ANYBODY IN.

NOBODY.

DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR.

AND THERE'LL
BE A ROOM HERE

IN CASE YOU'RE EVER
TOO TIRED TO GO HOME.

ISN'T IT
MARVELOUS, EH, JOE?

ISN'T IT GREAT?

FULL-TIME JOB, HERE.

YEAH.

YEAH.

- ( keys jangling )
- ( screaming )

( rock music playing )

Woman:
MR. JOE.

MR. JOE.

MR. JOE, COME HERE PLEASE.

COME ON, MR. JOE.

COME ON, COME ON.

HE WANTS SOME MEATS.

MR. GRAHAM WANTS
SOME COOKED MEATS.

YOU CHOOSE
AT THE SHOP.

THE DELI--
YOU JUST SIGN

AND SHOW THIS
FOR THE MEATS.

( bell jangling )

CAN I HELP YOU?

I'VE COME TO CHOOSE
MR. GRAHAM'S COOKED MEATS.

OH, NEW, ARE YOU?

DAVE USED TO DO THAT.

YEAH, THE RED CARD.

NOT THE GREATEST
BIT OF IDEA EVER, IS IT?

WELL, MR. GRAHAM USUALLY
HAS ABOUT 300 GRAMS OF MILANO.

I'LL HAVE SOME OF THAT.

AND THEN, UH,
SOME OF THAT.

UH-HUH.

- AND SOME OF THIS TOO.
- WOW.

THIS IS A NEW REGIME.

WELL, HOW MANY GRAMS
DO YOU WANT OF EACH?

OH, I THINK...
750 EACH.

WHAT?
( laughs )

OKAY, MAKE IT 1,000 THEN.

Graham:
MOST KIND.

THAT'S MOST KIND.

MY WORD,
WHAT A SELECTION.

THANK YOU, JOE.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'VE GOT TO GET BACK
TO THE OTHER HOUSE.

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT
IF YOU STAYED FOR A MOMENT.

NOT SURE I CAN.

I'M NOT MEANT
TO LEAVE THE HOUSE, SIR.

IT'LL BE FINE.
I'LL EXPLAIN IT
TO MRS. HOPKINS.

YOU'VE DONE
A TERRIFIC JOB HERE, JOE.

SOME OF THESE,
I DON'T THINK I'VE
EVER TASTED BEFORE.

OH, GOOD, SIR.

ABSOLUTELY.
IT IS GOOD.

WELL, I CAN'T POSSIBLY
GOBBLE ALL THIS MYSELF.

YOU WOULDN'T--
WOULD YOU...

LIKE SOME TOO?

FUNNY, AREN'T THEY?

BIT ODD, MAYBE.

MEANT TO BE ME,
ACTUALLY.

I DID THEM LAST SUMMER.

THAT ONE...

THAT'S SHOWING ME
NEAR THE END.

THE OTHER IS--

WELL, JUST ME.

I WAS BROUGHT UP
ALL OVER THE WORLD.

MY FATHER OWNED
A LOT OF HOTELS,

AMONGST OTHER THINGS.

MAYBE IT MAKES ME LOOK
A LITTLE TOO CHEERFUL.

- ( rock music blaring
from headphones )
- ( bell rings )

OH, HI.

IT'S YOU AGAIN.
IS DAVE THERE?

DAVE LEFT.

WELL, MAYBE
YOU CAN HELP ME.

I WANTED TO SHOW
A FRIEND OF MINE THIS PLACE.

- NO.
- YOU SURE?

I CAN'T OPEN THIS DOOR
AFTER 6:00 TO ANYONE.

THIS IS CHARLOTTE.

- THIS IS JOE.
- HI, JOE.

Richard:
ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN'T
OPEN IT TO ANYONE?

EVEN FOR CHARLOTTE HERE?

NO.

- WELL, EXCEPT--
- EXCEPT?

EXCEPT IF I KNOW
THE PERSON THAT'S ASKING.

WOW.

IT'S MAGNIFICENT.

AND SO BEAUTIFULLY KEPT,
LIKE IT'S WAITING
FOR SOMETHING.

THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN DO
WHEN YOU'RE WORTH FOUR BILLION--

KEEP SOMETHING
IN PERFECT CONDITION
AND TOTALLY EMPTY.

IT'S A PALACE.

AND YOU HAVE IT
ALL TO YOURSELF, JOE?

THAT'S EXCITING.
THAT'S FABULOUS.

ONLY AFTER 6:00.

I'VE GOT IT
TO MYSELF AFTER 6:00.

AND THE SECURITY GUARD,
HE COMES AT 9:00,

BUT I STAY AT MY DESK
MOSTLY ANYWAY, SO...

OF COURSE, BUT YOU
SHOULD EXPLORE,
SHOULDN'T YOU,

WHILE YOU'VE
GOT THE CHANCE?

- SEE WHAT THESE
KEYS UNLOCK.
- YEAH.

YEAH, WELL...

I'LL DO THAT.

HAVE THEY GIVEN YOU
YOUR OWN ROOM, JOE?

YEAH, THEY HAVE.
DO YOU WANT TO SEE IT?

Richard:
I LIKE YOUR ROOM VERY MUCH.

THAT'S A WOMBAT, ISN'T IT?
I ALWAYS WANTED A WOMBAT.

YEAH, HE'S GOOD,
ISN'T HE?

I SLEEP HERE
ABOUT ONCE A WEEK

WHEN I CAN'T BE
BOTHERED TO GO HOME.

( chuckles )

IT'S AMAZING,
THIS PLACE...

WITH ONLY THE BOY HERE.

IT'S SO UNEXPECTED.

( gasps )

SO WHAT ABOUT IT?
I'LL ASK ELLIOT, SHALL I?

I KNOW HIM.
I CAN ASK HIM.

YOU WOULDN'T DARE.

EVEN YOU WOULDN'T
DARE DO THAT.

- ( footsteps echoing )
- ( Charlotte laughing )

YOU LOOK GREAT
AT YOUR DESK, JOE.

REALLY OFFICIAL.

THANK YOU
FOR THAT, JOE.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE.

YEAH, IT IS.

ARE YOU SEEING
MR. GRAHAM TODAY?

NO, NOT TODAY.

BUT IF YOU SEE HIM,
OR RATHER...

WHEN YOU NEXT SEE HIM...

COULD YOU ASK HIM
SOMETHING, JOE... FOR ME?

YEAH, WHAT?

- ASK IF CHARLOTTE AND I
CAN VISIT THIS PLACE AGAIN.
- ( laughs )

YOU KNOW, AT THIS SORT OF TIME,
WHEN YOU'RE IN CHARGE.

MAYBE USE ONE
OF THE ROOMS UPSTAIRS.

ONE OF THE ROOMS UPSTAIRS?

- ( giggles )
- YEAH.

USE ONE OF THE ROOMS
AS A PLACE TO REST
AFTER A BUSY DAY.

A LITTLE OASIS,
JUST FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.

- HE'LL UNDERSTAND.
- RIGHT.

HERE'S MY NUMBER.

THERE'S NO HURRY.
ASK HIM WHENEVER YOU LIKE,

YOU KNOW,
WHEN THE CHANCE COMES UP.

BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE
NOT MEANT TO LET ANYONE IN.

Charlotte:
THANK YOU, JOE.

AND DON'T FORGET
TO GO EXPLORING FOR ME.

( door opens, closes )

WELL, FUCK ME.

NO NEED TO SCREAM
WHEN YOU SEE ME.

( stammers )
I WASN'T--

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE
IN THE HOUSE, MR. GRAHAM.

I'VE JUST BEEN GOING
THROUGH SOME BOXES,

SOMETHING THAT
NEEDS TO BE DONE.

YEAH?

I'M GONNA HAVE
A LITTLE WASH AND BRUSH-UP.

THEN...

MAYBE--

UH, CAN I--

CAN I TAKE YOU FOR A MEAL?

BE GREAT
IF YOU WOULD COME.

OH, OKAY.

DIFFICULT TO DECIDE,
ISN'T IT?

I'LL HAVE A LOBSTER.

COUPLE OF THEM
LOBSTERS, PLEASE.

I-- I THINK I'LL
HAVE THE SEA BASS.

YEAH-- YES,
I-- I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.

NO, WAIT...

GIANT TIGER PRAWNS.

MAYBE THAT'S
A BETTER IDEA.

NO NO NO NO.

THE-- THE TURBOT WITH GINGER.

I'LL-- I'LL GO FOR THAT.

( chuckles )
YES, I-- I THINK SO.

THANK YOU.

ALL THAT MONEY
AND HE STILL CAN'T
MAKE A DECISION.

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
THINKING, JOE, YOU'D BE RIGHT.

NOT THE FRIENDLIEST
PLACE IN HERE, IS IT?

BUT I LIKE IT.

WHEN I GO OUT--
AND I DO GO OUT.

I HATE THE IDEA
OF BECOMING A RECLUSE.

- ( chattering )
- PEOPLE CAN OFTEN BE
QUITE STRANGE, YOU KNOW,

THE WAY THEY
REACT AROUND ME.

YES, PEOPLE ARE EITHER
VERY LOUD AND TALKATIVE,

LIKE THEY'VE TAKEN
A BET WITH SOMEONE

BEFORE THEY COME UP TO ME.

WRITE A CHECK, CAN'T YOU,
FOR A COUPLE OF MILLION

BEFORE THE END
OF THE NIGHT... FOR ME.

( chuckling )
JUST GO FOR IT.

IT'LL MAKE US BOTH
FEEL SO GOOD.

Graham's voice:
OR THEY GO ON

AND ON AND ON...

- UH, EXCUSE ME.
- ...ABOUT SOME
UNLIKELY SUBJECT.

I THINK I'VE GOT SOMETHING
THAT WILL REALLY INTEREST YOU.

I'VE INVENTED
A NEW TOILET BRUSH

THAT CLEANS ITSELF AFTER
IT'S CLEANED THE TOILET.

Graham's voice:
VERY STRANGE.

SO WHAT ABOUT YOU, JOE?

ME? I'VE LEFT SCHOOL.

AND?

WELL, THAT'S ALL.

AND YOU DON'T
GET FRIGHTENED...

ALL ALONE IN THAT HOUSE?

( laughs )

I'M NOT FRIGHTENED
OF THE HOUSE.

WHAT ARE YOU
FRIGHTENED OF, JOE?

DON'T KNOW.

I HAVE TO THINK, YOU KNOW,

WHAT I'M SCARED OF.

SO, JOE,
IF I WAS TO ASK YOU

TO TAKE A FEW MESSAGES FOR ME,
YOU WOULDN'T MIND?

- ( silverware clattering )
- BEING A MESSENGER FOR ME,

JUST ONCE OR TWICE?

I WOULDN'T MIND, NO.

THAT'D BE ALL RIGHT.

I GOT A MESSAGE FOR YA--

GOT ONE ALREADY,
JUST REMEMBERED.

- WHICH IS?
- FROM A MAN CALLED
RICHARD REECE.

AH, YES, RICHARD.

HE WANTS TO KNOW
IF HE CAN USE THE HOUSE

BETWEEN 6:00 AND 9:00,

USE A ROOM--
UPSTAIRS ROOM.

HE AND A FRIEND,
SHE'S CALLED CHARLOTTE.

- DO YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?
- HE'S A MEMBER OF
THE GOVERNMENT, ISN'T HE?

YES, HE'S THE YOUNGEST
MEMBER OF THE CABINET.

BRILLIANT BOY,
VERY SMART.

BUT HE'S MARRIED.

AND HIS CONSTITUENCY
IS IN LONDON.

SO HE DOESN'T HAVE
A SEPARATE FLAT, YOU KNOW,

AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY.

SO I CAN SEE
IT WOULD BE PERFECT.

HE CAN ALWAYS TELL EVERYBODY
HE'S COMING TO VISIT ME.

WHAT'S THE WOMAN LIKE?

AH, SHE'S OKAY.

QUITE PRETTY.

SHE'S REALLY PRETTY.

WELL, THAT'S
AN INTRIGUING MESSAGE, JOE.

IT MIGHT BE GOOD

FOR SOMETHING
TO HAPPEN IN THAT HOUSE.

WE'LL SEE.

Joe's voice:
SO IN THE LAST FEW DAYS,

I'VE BEGUN
TO TAKE MESSAGES FOR HIM.

IT USUALLY HAPPENS
IN THE AFTERNOONS,

AND I HAVE
TO TAKE A LETTER.

LIKE TO THESE GUYS
THAT RUN ALL HIS MONEY,
TAKE CARE OF IT.

MR. GRAHAM WON'T
BE COMING ALONG TODAY.

I'VE GOT
AN ENVELOPE HERE

WHICH HE SAID WILL
MAKE EVERYTHING CLEAR.

Joe's voice:
AND THEN THERE
WAS ANOTHER ONE--

I THINK IT WAS
ON TUESDAY--

BUT WHEN THE PERSON
SEEMED A BIT UPSET...

MR. GRAHAM SAID
HE CAN'T HAVE DINNER
TONIGHT AFTER ALL.

IS THAT WHAT HE SAYS?

I DOUBT THAT HE CAN
REMEMBER WHAT I LOOK LIKE.

MAYBE THAT'S
A GOOD THING.

Joe's voice:
AND YESTERDAY I TOOK
THE IMPORTANT MESSAGE,

THE ONE MR. REECE
HAD ASKED ME ABOUT.

HE WANTED ME
TO GO TO THE BUILDING

WHERE HE WAS MEETING
A GROUP OF BUSINESSMEN.

( laughs )

- COULD YOU LET HIM IN?
- ( snaps )

JOE.

THIS IS JOE.

HE WORKS WITH ELLIOT GRAHAM.

AS YOU KNOW,
I MEET MR. GRAHAM
QUITE A LOT TO DISCUSS

THE POSSIBILITY OF HIM
CONTRIBUTING TO VARIOUS

PROJECTS AND CHARITIES
IN MY CONSTITUENCY.

UH, JUST GIVE US
A MINUTE, WILL YOU?

COME SIT OVER HERE.

Richard:
IT'S VERY GOOD
TO SEE YOU, JOE.

- ( chattering )
- Richard: SO...

I'VE GOT A REPLY
TO YOUR MESSAGE.

- REALLY?
- HE SAYS IT'S OKAY--

MR. GRAHAM.

HE SAYS HE WANTS THE HOUSE
TO BE USED FOR SOMETHING.

IS THAT WHAT HE SAID?
WELL, THAT'S GOOD, ISN'T IT?

LET THEM WAIT. IT'S GOOD
FOR THEM TO SEE SOMETHING
THAT DOESN'T QUITE FIT--

YOU AND ME TALKING.

YOU'RE NOT THE USUAL
SORT OF ADVISOR.

Woman:
SO, CHOSEN ONE?

OH, I LIKE THAT COLOR.

OH, THAT ONE.

BUT I'LL TAKE THAT ONE.

THE ONE THAT'S
REALLY REALLY MOLDY.

( laughs )

SO IS THAT WHAT
HE'S INTO NOW?

OLD CHEESES?

WHEN YOU'RE WORTH
A FEW BILLION

BUT ALL YOU WANT
TO MAKE YOU REALLY HAPPY
IS SOME BLEU CHEESE.

IS THAT IT?
IS THAT WHAT HE'S LIKE?

I DON'T KNOW.
I'M ONLY THE MESSENGER.

THEY'RE A WONDERFUL COLOR,
THE CHEESES.

- YOU'VE MADE
A GREAT SELECTION.
- GOOD.

YOU DON'T WANT TO STAY
AND HELP ME EAT THEM?

I-- I CAN'T, TONIGHT.

- I'VE GOTTA GET BACK.
- RIGHT. FINE.

JUST BEFORE YOU GO,
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

COME IN, IT'S ALL RIGHT.
THERE'S NOTHING
ALARMING IN HERE.

UNLESS YOU COUNT ME,
OF COURSE.

I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE
TO SEE SOME PICTURES
OF THE BIG HOUSE

AS IT USED TO BE.

AND SOME DRAWINGS
I DID OF IT.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M SAYING IN THEM.

MAYBE I FOUND THE HOUSE
VERY SPOOKY AS A CHILD,

WHICH I DID.

- SPOOKY?
- WHICH YOU CLEARLY DO NOT.

Graham:
I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT
MORE ABOUT THE HOUSE

BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER
MY FATHER BOUGHT IT.

OLD HOUSES DECAY
AMAZINGLY QUICKLY

WHEN THEY'RE EMPTY.

THAT'S WHY I'M
KEEPING IT ALIVE

SO I CAN FIND OUT
MORE ABOUT IT

AND DECIDE
WHAT TO DO WITH IT.

SO IT'S NOT
AS BARMY AS IT SEEMS--

HAVING IT CLEANED
ALL THE TIME.

YOUR CASTLE'S NICE.

AH, YES.
IT IS, ISN'T IT?

I'LL TELL YOU
ABOUT THAT ONE DAY.

HI, JOE, HOW ARE YOU?

I'M FINE.

- CAN I GET YOU SOMETHING?
- THANK YOU.

MAYBE A GLASS OF WATER?

( water running )

I'M JUST LETTING IT RUN
SO IT'S REALLY NICE AND COLD.

THANK YOU.

CAN I HAVE
ONE OF THESE?

SURE.

TAKE AS MANY
AS YOU LIKE.

I'M FINE.

( bell ringing )

THERE HE IS.

I'LL LET HIM IN.

SO, JOE,
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

- NOT BAD.
- YEAH?

Richard:
ANY VISITORS?

- Joe: NO, NOT REALLY.
- NO? IS CHARLOTTE HERE YET?

YOU LOOK GREAT.

- Richard: DOESN'T SHE
LOOK GREAT?
- YEAH.

JOE, WE'RE JUST
GONNA GO UPSTAIRS
FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

AS ARRANGED.

Joe:
HEY, JUST WAIT--
WAIT A MINUTE.

JUST GIVE ME
A CALL ON MY MOBILE
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING.

GREAT, JOE. THANKS.

I'VE ALREADY CHOSEN ONE.
I THINK YOU'LL APPROVE.

MAYBE WE SHOULD
GIVE JOE SOME MONEY

SO HE CAN GO
TO THE MOVIES
OR SOMETHING.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT WEIRD,
ISN'T IT,

HIM SITTING DOWNSTAIRS?

WELL, IT'S NO WEIRDER
THAN GOING TO A HOTEL

AND A LOT MORE PRIVATE
THAN A FRIEND'S FLAT.

HE'D BE UPSET IF WE
ASKED HIM TO GO OUT.

HE'S THE CONCIERGE.

OH, WHAT ABOUT
ELLIOT GRAHAM?

WHAT ABOUT HIM?
HE'S NOT GONNA POP UP.

HE WANTS THE HOUSE
TO BE USED.

( moaning, laughing )

( rock music blaring
from headphones )

( singing )

( phone buzzing )

- YES?
- IS EVERYTHING
ALL RIGHT, JOE?

YEAH, I'M FINE.

- DO YOU WANT ANYTHING?
- No, that's very kind
of you, but no.

WE'LL BE DOWN IN A MOMENT.

- HE ASKED IF WE
WANTED ANYTHING.
- ( laughs )

THANK YOU, JOE.

I'M OFF NOW.

Joe's voice:
HE LEAVES FIRST.

AND THEN SHE STAYS
FOR A BIT AND LEAVES
ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER.

SOMETIMES WE HAVE
A LITTLE CHAT TOGETHER.

I'VE DECIDED
TO WRITE ALL THIS DOWN

BECAUSE... NOBODY'S
READING THIS BOOK.

AND I WANT TO REMEMBER IT.

THEY ALWAYS
PHONE IN THE MORNING

TO TELL ME
TO EXPECT THEM.

THE WHOLE DAY CHANGES WHEN
I KNOW THEY'RE GONNA VISIT.

HE ALWAYS
ARRIVES SEPARATELY.

I THINK THEY'VE
STOPPED WORRYING ABOUT
ME GOING UPSTAIRS...

WHICH OF COURSE,
I WOULD NEVER DO.

I DO ALL THE SHEETS

BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
WHAT MRS. HOPKINS WILL SAY.

AND I THINK IT'S PROBABLY
BEST THAT SHE DON'T KNOW.

PEANUT BUTTER
IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING.

Joe's voice:
MR. REECE SPENDS TIME WITH ME
SOMETIMES ON HIS WAY OUT.

I LIKE BOTH OF THEM.

IT IS QUITE FUNNY,
JOE, ME BEING PALLY
WITH A BILLIONAIRE.

'CAUSE WE NEVER HAD MUCH
WHEN I WAS SMALLER.

MY FATHER'S
A RAILWAY SIGNALMAN.

- STILL DOES IT.
- ( chuckles )

FOR SOME REASON, JOE,
I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED
IN MYSELF.

I WAS FULL OF CONFIDENCE
ALL THE TIME.

I KNEW I'D GET
A SCHOLARSHIP.

I KNEW I'D GET A GOOD JOB,
KNEW I'D GET INTO PARLIAMENT.

NEVER FELT
INFERIOR TO ANYBODY.
NOR SHOULD YOU, JOE.

- NO?
- NO.

'CAUSE YOU DON'T
MISS MUCH, DO YOU?

( keys jangling )

- YOU'RE IN A HURRY,
YOUNG MAN.
- YEAH.

I-- I JUST
GOTTA DO SOMETHING.

GOT VISITORS, HAVE YOU?

VERY DISCREET,
THAT'S GOOD, JOE-- ADMIRABLE.

( panting, laughing )

- HEY, YOU WON'T--
- YES, JOE?

YOU-- YOU WON'T JUST
TURN UP, YOU KNOW--

SUDDENLY, LIKE
WHEN I FOUND YOU
WITHOUT TELLING ME?

I'LL TRY NOT TO.

( bell ringing )

- ( panting )
- HI, JOE.

YOU'RE OUT OF BREATH.

NO.

NO, NOT REALLY.

( water running )

WHO NEEDS AN ENORMOUS CAR
LIKE THAT IN THE CITY?

RIDICULOUS WOMAN.

MIND YOU, COULD BE ME
IN A FEW MONTHS.

IS THAT ELLIOT GRAHAM?

MUST BE, MUSTN'T IT?

THAT MAN STARING.

Joe:
YEAH, THAT'S HIM.

I'M SORRY, I JUST DON'T
LIKE THE IDEA OF HIM WATCHING.

OR LOOKING AT ME
AT ALL, REALLY.

WELL, IT'S OKAY.

HE WON'T COME IN.

I'VE DONE 95% OF YOUR
FATHER'S PAPERS NOW,

TRACING HIS FORTUNE

RIGHT THE WAY BACK
TO HIS FIRST JOB

WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG MAN
BEFORE THE WAR.

I FOLLOWED
ALL HIS TRAVELS.

I LOOKED INTO HOW
HE MADE HIS MONEY,

BOTH IN THE FINANCIAL
SERVICES SECTOR

AND THE HOTELS HE OWNED.

I LOOKED INTO THE HISTORY
OF THE HOUSE TOO.

AND I HAVE TO SAY,
I KNOW YOU WANTED ME
TO DIG REALLY DEEP,

BUT IT'S ALL ABOVEBOARD.

THERE ARE NO NASTY SURPRISES,
NO SKELETONS.

IT'S ALL FINE, IS IT?
SHIPSHAPE?

ABSOLUTELY.

LOOK, JOE HAS PROVIDED US
WITH SOME SWEETS.

THAT'S FANTASTIC.

( laughs )
I TOLD YOU HE'D
LOOK AFTER US.

I SAW ELLIOT GRAHAM
STARING OVER HERE JUST NOW.

MADE ME COLD ALL OVER
FOR SOME REASON.

HE'S FINE.

A LITTLE PECULIAR,
OF COURSE, BUT SHOW ME
A NORMAL BILLIONAIRE.

WHY IS HE LETTING US
USE THIS HOUSE?

'CAUSE HE LIKES ME.

( giggles )

AND HE REALLY RATES ME.

YOU...

ALWAYS THINK THAT'S
THE REASON FOR EVERYTHING.

( men shouting )

( chattering, yelling )

YOU OKAY, LOVE?

YEAH.

- I'M GOING OUT TONIGHT.
- WELL, HAVE A GOOD TIME.

( train clacking )

JOE?

I'VE MET SOMEBODY NEW

AND HE'S GOING TO SPAIN
FOR A FEW MONTHS TO WORK.

AND...

WELL...

HE'S ASKED ME
TO GO WITH HIM.

WOULD THAT
BE ALL RIGHT?

YEAH. YEAH, OF COURSE.

ARE YOU SURE?

GREAT.

FEELS LIKE I HAVEN'T
SEEN YOU IN THE LAST
FEW WEEKS.

WELL, YOU'VE
SEEN ME AT THE HOUSE.

YES, BUT...

YOU'RE ALWAYS SO BUSY...

KEEPING WATCH AT THAT DOOR.

YEAH. YEAH, I LIKE
KEEPING WATCH.

AND I LIKE BEING
IN THAT HOUSE.

OH, THAT WAS GOOD.

THAT WAS SO COLD.

YOU GOT ANY BROTHERS
OR SISTERS, JOE?

- NO.
- WHAT ABOUT YOUR DAD?

- WHERE'S YOUR DAD?
- OH, HE DON'T LIVE WITH US.

HE VISITS ONCE
OR TWICE A YEAR.

HE GRUNTS.

NEVER SAYS ANYTHING,
HE JUST GRUNTS.

WELL, THAT'S
NOT VERY GOOD--

A GRUNTING DAD.

OH, IT'S OKAY.

( taps glass )

ARE YOU MARRIED?

YES.

I AM, JOE.

I ALSO HAVE TWO KIDS.

LEO AND RACHEL,
AGE SIX AND FOUR.

THEY'RE GREAT, MY KIDS.

REALLY GREAT.

AND YOUR HUSBAND?

HE'S A LAWYER.

WORKS REALLY HARD.

HE'S TERRIFIC.

NO MORE QUESTIONS?

NO.

YOU CAN ASK ME, JOE.

I KNOW YOU
WON'T TELL ANYONE.
I TRUST YOU.

I AIN'T GOT
ANY MORE QUESTIONS.

I'M ABOUT TO GO
BACK TO WORK...

NOW THE KIDS
ARE GOING TO SCHOOL.

I WAS A LOBBYIST-- I AM...

A LOBBYIST.

FOR MY SINS.

A POLITICAL LOBBYIST.

THAT'S HOW I MET RICHARD.

I'M VERY LUCKY...
AREN'T I, JOE?

I'M VERY VERY LUCKY.

Joe's voice:
HAD ANOTHER REALLY
GOOD DAY TODAY.

MR. REECE GAVE ME
A LIFT IN HIS CAR.

JUST FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO.

THESE ARE THE FAMOUS BOXES
WE GOVERNMENT MINISTERS

ARE MEANT TO
TREASURE SO MUCH.

THEY'RE CHEAP
AND CHEERFUL,
AREN'T THEY?

IN THE OLD DAYS,
APPARENTLY, THEY WERE--

THEY WERE MADE
OF HIGH-QUALITY LEATHER.

SMELLED BEAUTIFUL.
( sniffs )

THAT SMELLS OF NOTHING,
DOES IT?

( sniffing )
NO.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
OF THE GOVERNMENT CAR?

WELL, I THOUGHT THERE'D BE
WOOD AND THINGS, YOU KNOW?

- FOLDING SEATS ALL AROUND.
- NOT ANYMORE.

MIND YOU, WHEN YOU'RE TRAVELING
WITH THE PRIME MINISTER

IN CONVOY WITH A MOTORCYCLE
ESCORT AND EVERYTHING,

IT'S FANTASTIC
THE FIRST TIME YOU DO THAT.

YOU DON'T STOP
FOR ANYTHING-- NOTHING.

I THINK THAT'S WHY
ALL LEADERS GO A BIT
BONKERS AFTER A WHILE,

BECAUSE THEIR CAR
NEVER STOPS.

YOU'RE A CLEVER KID, JOE.

BEEN VERY GOOD TO US.

- I HOPE WE CAN CALL
EACH OTHER FRIENDS.
- YEAH.

IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT
WITH MR. GRAHAM, JOE?

HE'S NOT ASKING YOU
TO DO ANY STRANGE THINGS?

- WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
- I JUST MEANT...

HAS HE ASKED YOU TO DO
SOME RATHER ODD TASKS?

NO NO, I JUST TAKE A FEW
MESSAGES FOR HIM SOMETIMES.

WELL, LET ME KNOW
IF HE STARTS GETTING
TOO WEIRD, YEAH?

YEAH, I WILL.

I AIN'T SEEN HIS REALLY
FRIGHTENING SIDE YET,

BUT I EXPECT
I CAN HANDLE IT.

COME ON, COME ON,
HE'S WAITING FOR YOU.

COME ON.

JOE, THERE YOU ARE.
GOOD. COME IN.

COME IN.
THIS IS MR. WHITTLE.

HE'S ON THE POINT
OF LEAVING.

I WAS INDEED.
BECAUSE WE'VE FINISHED.

ENTIRELY FINISHED,
WHICH IS MARVELOUS.

MR. WHITTLE
IS AN HISTORIAN.

HE'S BEEN DIGGING AROUND
IN MY FATHER'S PAPERS--

AT MY REQUEST--

TRACING THE HISTORY
OF ALL HIS MONEY.

Whittle:
AND THE MOST REWARDING JOB
ITS BEEN TOO-- FASCINATING.

AND OF COURSE,
COMPLETELY PLEASANT.

GOODBYE.

DO I BELIEVE HIM?

YOU SEEM AMAZED THAT
I ACTUALLY MEET ANYBODY ELSE.

- NO, I WEREN'T THINKING THAT.
- WELL, I DO MEET PEOPLE.

AS IT HAPPENS,
I'VE BEEN ASKED

TO HAVE MY PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN
BY A SUNDAY PAPER--

A GROUP PHOTO
OF RICH PEOPLE,
WOULD YOU BELIEVE?

SO, JOE, DO YOU
KNOW THIS PROGRAM?

- NO.
- PEOPLE BRING ANTIQUES
FROM THEIR HOMES

TO DISCOVER THEIR HISTORY,

AND TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH
THEY'RE WORTH OF COURSE.

I WANT YOU TO TAKE
THESE OBJECTS,

THESE LITTLE ANIMALS
ON THE SHOW FOR ME.

OH, AND THIS AS WELL,
OF COURSE.

THEY ALL COME FROM ONE
OF THE HOUSES MY FATHER OWNED.

HE HAD HOUSES EVERYWHERE.
THIS ONE WAS IN SCOTLAND.

YOU'RE WONDERING
WHY I'M ASKING YOU

- OF ALL PEOPLE?
- WELL, YEAH.

BECAUSE I OFTEN BELIEVE

YOU SHOULD USE SURPRISING
PEOPLE TO DO THINGS.

THAT WAY
YOU MIGHT DISCOVER MORE.

AND I NEED TO KNOW MORE

ABOUT THE ANIMALS.

WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR ME?

OI! OI!

"ANTIQUES"--
THAT WAY!

( chattering )

- I THINK "MISCELLANEOUS"
ON THAT ONE.
- THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

HELLO, LET'S SEE
WHAT'S IN YOUR BOX.

JUST A MOMENT.

THIS WAY.

( chattering )

DON'T LOOK AT
THE CAMERA, JOE.

Expert:
THIS IS A TRULY
SPECTACULAR COLLECTION

OF GOLD BOXES
YOU'VE BROUGHT TODAY.

TELL ME ABOUT THEM.

- ARE THEY YOURS?
- ( laughs ) NO.

AND SOMEBODY ASK YOU
TO BRING THEM HERE TODAY?

YEAH, MY BOSS.

AND-- AND-- HOW--
WHERE DID HE ACQUIRE THEM?

- DO YOU KNOW?
- DON'T KNOW.

LET'S HAVE A LITTLE LOOK
AND TRY AND UNDERSTAND
WHAT THEY'RE ALL ABOUT.

THIS IS A SNUFFBOX

MADE OF A HARD STONE,
A CONGLOMERATE

WHICH IS CALLED
A PUDDINGSTONE.

AND THE GOLDSMITHS
USED IT TO REPRESENT
THE PELT OF THE LEOPARD.

WE CAN SEE THAT HE'S
HEIGHTENED THAT WORK

BY GIVING IT
LITTLE DIAMOND EYES

WITH-- WITH RUBY TEARDUCTS

AND RUBY NOSTRILS.

AND EVEN THE GOLD TONGUE
MOVES UP AND DOWN

BETWEEN THESE RATHER
VICIOUS-LOOKING
DIAMOND-SET TEETH.

TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE
FROM THE COURT OF FREDERICK
THE GREAT OF PRUSSIA

WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
TO HAVE TWO IS TRULY
EXTRAORDINARY.

THIS IS MADE
FOR SOMEBODY OF VERY
VERY HIGH RANK

IN ABOUT 1900.
AND LET'S LOOK INSIDE.

- POLISHED RED GOLD
GLEAMING AWAY--
- OH! HOLD ON.

- THERE CAN'T BE MORE.
- YEAH, I'VE GOT THIS.

- OH--
- I WAS LOOKING AT IT
IN THE CAR ON THE WAY UP.

( chuckles )

MY GOODNESS ME.

THAT'S WITHOUT DOUBT
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL

SWISS-ENAMELED
GOLD SNUFFBOX
I'VE EVER SEEN.

IT'S AN HALLUCINOGENIC MOTH

- THE GOLDSMITH'S BROUGHT
OUT OF HIS IMAGINATION.
- ( woman crying )

THE MOTH AND THE BUTTERFLY
ARE EMBLEMS OF PSYCHE,

GODDESS OF THE SOUL
AND ALL HIGHER EMOTIONS.

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY
A LOVE OBJECT

TO BE GIVEN FROM
ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER.

CAN YOUR BOSS REMEMBER
HOW MUCH HE PAID FOR ANY
OF THESE THINGS?

DON'T KNOW.

- WELL, DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE WORTH?
- A LOT?

MORE THAN MOST
CHINA ANIMALS--

YOU KNOW, THAT YOU
PUT MONEY IN.

THAT'S PERFECTLY TRUE AND I
THINK IT'S OUR JOB TODAY

TO TRY AND VALUE THEM, REALLY.

UM, WHAT AM I GONNA SAY
FOR THE BEST SWISS-ENAMELED
GOLD SNUFFBOX

I'VE EVER SEEN
IN MY LIFE?

UMM... £120,000...

- ( woman gasps )
- AND THEN FOR A PRUSSIAN
GOLD SNUFFBOX,

A HIGHLY FIGURATIVE ONE,
HIGHLY IMAGINATIVE ONE...

£225,000.

AND THEN COMPANION PIECE,
HOW COULD IT BE WORTH LESS?

AND THEN, PERHAPS MOST
SPECTACULARLY OF ALL,

THE EMPEROR'S
GOLD CIGARETTE CASE

FROM PRE-REVOLUTIONARY
RUSSIA BY FABERGE--

£320,000.

SO WHAT YOU'VE
BROUGHT ME TODAY

IS A GRAND TOTAL OF, UM--

OF £890,000.

( crowd gasps )

AND THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU
ANY MORE ABOUT THEM THAN THAT?

- Joe: NO.
- I'M SURE THEY HAVE
A STORY TO TELL.

ANY OTHER
ADVENTURES UP THERE?

NO.

AND HERE? ARE THEY
COMING THIS WEEK?

NOT SURE.

HOW OFTEN DO THEY
VISIT THE HOUSE?

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TELL ME
HOW OFTEN THEY VISIT?

THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS,
IS IT?

- YEAH.
- QUITE RIGHT, JOE.

QUITE RIGHT.
YOU KNOW IF YOU EVER
WANT TO HAVE A FRIEND

STAY OVER IN THE HOUSE
YOURSELF, YOU CAN.

INVITE WHO YOU WANT,
WHENEVER YOU WANT.

- OH, THANKS.
- AND IF YOU WANT TO EAT
IN THE LOBSTER RESTAURANT,

YOU CAN USE
THE RED CARD THERE.

GOES STRAIGHT ON MY ACCOUNT.
FEEL FREE. INVITE WHO YOU WANT.

- THANKS.
- WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

- THOUGHT I'D GO NOW.
- WAIT A MOMENT.

I WANTED TO GIVE YOU
A PRESENT FOR HELPING ME OUT.

I DON'T NEED A PRESENT.

DON'T WORRY, YOU MIGHT
NOT WANT THIS PRESENT.

WHEN YOU'RE WEALTHY

AND PEOPLE WANT
TO SAY THANK YOU
FOR HELPING THEM OUT...

A LOT OF PEOPLE ASSUME

THAT I'VE GOT
SIMPLY EVERYTHING
I COULD POSSIBLY WANT.

SO I GET AN AWFUL LOT
OF THINGS LIKE THIS.

- ANYTHING YOU WANT?
- Joe: MAYBE.

YEAH.

( rock music blaring
from headphones )

I'M A LITTLE EARLY.
CAN YOU HEAR ME?

( silent )

( knocks )

HELLO, JOE.

- HELLO, JOE!
- HE CAN'T HEAR YOU.

Richard:
I LIKE THE HEADPHONES,

ESPECIALLY THOSE ANTENNAE.
WHERE'D YOU GET THEM?

Richard:
WE'LL SEE YOU LATER, JOE.

Charlotte:
LOOK.

LOOK WHAT JOE'S DONE.

HE'S PROVIDED A FEAST.

IF YOU LOVE ME...

YOU'LL KISS ME
AFTER I'VE EATEN THIS.

YOU SEE?
I DIDN'T EVEN HESITATE.

- GOOD NIGHT, JOE.
- 'NIGHT.

I WON'T BE SEEING YOU
FOR A WHILE, JOE.

MAYBE FOR A LONG WHILE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I AM GOING AWAY NEXT WEEK
FOR A FAMILY HOLIDAY...

WITH MY HUSBAND
AND THE KIDS.

AND THEN--

ANYWAY, I DON'T KNOW
WHEN I'LL BE BACK HERE.

YOU WILL BE BACK THOUGH?

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WILL
HAPPEN IN THE AUTUMN.

I WISH YOU COULD TELL ME.

THIS CAN'T BE
THE LAST TIME.

DON'T LOOK LIKE THAT, JOE.

YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

AND DON'T LET THAT
SPOOKY MAN UPSET YOU.

REALLY REALLY...

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

EXCUSE ME.

HERE, I'LL SIGN
FOR THE FOOD NOW.

- 'NIGHT, HARRY.
- ( grunts )

( chattering )

- ( bell rings )
- ( sighs )

SO WHAT ARE YOU
CHOOSING TODAY THEN?

FOUR KILOS OF PARMA HAM
THAT WILL TAKE ME
A WEEK TO SLICE?

WANT TO SPEND A NIGHT
IN THE BIG HOUSE?

NO... THANK YOU.
I WOULDN'T.

WHY NOT?

JESUS, JOE,

JUST BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT
THE RED CARD FOR THE CHEESES

DOESN'T MEAN
YOU CAN COME IN HERE

AND RATTLE A BUNCH OF KEYS
IN MY FACE AND SAY HOW ABOUT IT?

- IN THE BIG HOUSE--
- YOU'RE WRONG, IT'S NOT
FOR THAT.

THOUGHT YOU'D
WANT TO SEE THE HOUSE.

AREN'T YOU INTERESTED
IN HISTORY?

I'M VERY INTERESTED
IN HISTORY, AS IT HAPPENS.

YEAH.

JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S
GOT TO DO WITH IT THOUGH.

YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO TRY AND PICK SOMEBODY
OFF THE STREET?

WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME, JOE?
SEE YOUR FAMILY.

'CAUSE I GOT A WHOLE HOUSE
I CAN USE, THAT'S WHY.

Joe's voice:
TONIGHT I HAD
A REAL SURPRISE.

I WAS OUT
LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY

THAT MIGHT WANT
TO SEE THE HOUSE,

WHEN SUDDENLY...
THERE HE WAS.

MAYBE HE WAS ALSO LOOKING.

THE FUNNY THING WAS,
WE NODDED TO EACH OTHER

LIKE IT WAS
A REALLY USUAL THING.

AND THEN WE WENT
ON OUR OWN WAY,

LIKE WE SHOULDN'T
DISTURB EACH OTHER.

- ( ringing )
- Girl: Hello?

- ( kids chattering
in background )
- HI, CHARLOTTE.

- JOE?
- YEAH, I JUST
THOUGHT I'D CALL.

- ( kids chattering )
- WELL, I CAN'T TALK NOW.

IT'S REALLY LATE
AND THE KIDS ARE STILL AWAKE.

YEAH, I CAN HEAR 'EM.

YEAH-- I'M COMING!

WHAT IS IT YOU WANTED, JOE?

NOTHING.
NOTHING REALLY.

Just saying hello.

WELL, I CAN'T TALK NOW.

YOU TAKE CARE, JOE.

YOU THINK THIS SUIT
IS GOOD, LAARNI?

- THE RIGHT CHOICE?
- OH YES, SIR.

YOU KNOW THIS PHOTO
THEY'RE DOING...

APPARENTLY,
IT'S THE PHOTOGRAPHIC
HOLY GRAIL--

GETTING THE EIGHT RICHEST
PEOPLE IN BRITAIN TOGETHER

AT THE SAME TIME,

STANDING THERE
LIKE IN A SCHOOL PHOTO.

I CAN'T BELIEVE
THAT ANYONE WILL TURN UP.

I HATE THE IDEA OF GOING,
I REALLY DO.

BUT I'VE GOT TO DO IT.
I'VE GOT TO GET OUT.
AFTER ALL, I USED TO GO OUT.

WANT SOMEWHERE
TO STAY TONIGHT?

I LOOK AFTER A BIG HOUSE.
YOU WANT TO SEE IT?

( sniffs )

- WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR IT?
- NOTHING.

I DON'T WANT ANYTHING.

I'LL THINK ABOUT THE HOUSE.

I WOULDN'T MIND
A MEAL THOUGH.

YEAH, A MEAL?
SURE I CAN DO THAT.

THAT'S NO PROBLEM EITHER.

I'M UNBELIEVABLY
NERVOUS, SIMON.

WHY AM I DOING THIS?

IF I DON'T LIKE
THE FOOD, MATE,
I WON'T STAY.

YOU'LL LIKE THE FOOD.

JUST WAIT HERE, SIMON.
I MIGHT BE OUT AT ANY TIME.

I'VE GOT TO MAKE MYSELF.

ABSOLUTELY DREADING IT.
TOTAL DREAD.

JUST LET ME NOT
BE THE FIRST, PLEASE.

IF THERE'S A GOD,
DON'T LET ME BE FIRST.

( muttering )
GHASTLY. SIMPLY GHASTLY.

BLIMEY.

IS THAT WHAT WE LOOK LIKE,
GRAYING MEN IN CRUMPLED SUITS?

SO GLAD YOU COULD
MAKE IT, MR. GRAHAM.

IT'S GOING TO BE
A HISTORIC PICTURE.

( coughing )
EVERYONE'S TURNED UP.

- I'M SURPRISED THEY HAVE.
- YES, IT'S GREAT.

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO DO THIS PICTURE FOR YEARS
AND NOW WE'VE MANAGED IT.

WE'LL BE DOING
THE INTERVIEWS AFTERWARDS.

INTERVIEW? NO ONE SAID
ANYTHING ABOUT AN INTERVIEW.

WELL, EVERYONE'S DOING ONE.

WHEN YOU SEE US
ALL TOGETHER

YOU-- YOU REALIZE
WHAT AN ODD-LOOKING
BUNCH WE REALLY ARE.

HOW DO WE DECIDE
WHO GOES ON WHICH STEP?

WHO GOES AT THE FRONT?
IS IT BY WHO'S WORTH MOST?

AT ABOUT FOUR BILLION,
I'M, UH-- I'M A MERE MINNOW.
I THINK A MERE STICKLEBACK.

- I'LL BE AT THE BACK--
- SHALL I GET YOU ANOTHER
DRINK, MR. GRAHAM?

( muttering )
PLEASE STAY HERE.
I'M A TRIFLE NERVOUS, YOU KNOW.

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO STOP TALKING--

I DON'T KNOW ANY OF YOU
I DON'T THINK, DO I?

YOU KNOW, I JUST--
I HAD A GREAT--

WHAT WOULD MAKE THIS
PICTURE EVEN BETTER--

NOW THIS IS A GREAT IDEA,
YOU'LL LIKE THIS.

NOW YOU PROBABLY
THINK I'M GOING TO SAY
"LET'S DO IT NAKED."

WELL, THIS IS EVEN BETTER
THAN DOING IT NAKED.

ALTHOUGH IT SEEMS VERY POPULAR
IN THIS COUNTRY AT THE MOMENT,

SO MAYBE WE SHOULD.

BUT THIS IS A GREAT IDEA.
LISTEN TO THIS.

BECAUSE I'M
NOT A U.K. CITIZEN,

I HARDLY PAY ANY TAX.

EXTRAORDINARY SITUATION,
UNIQUE TO THIS PLACE,

THAT'S WHY WE'RE ALL
IN THIS CITY, ISN'T IT?

AND NOT IN THE U.S.
OR SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THAT'S WHY
WE'VE COME TO LONDON,
MAY AS WELL BE HONEST.

SO WHEN-- WHEN THEY
TAKE THE PICTURE,

WE SHOULD
ALL BE CRYING OUT

"TAX US! FOR CRYING
OUT LOUD, TAX US!"

- ( laughs ) THAT WOULD CAUSE
QUITE A STIR, WOULDN'T IT?
- ( giggles )

US ALL HOLDING UP PLACARDS--

"TAX US! TAX US! TAX US!"

( laughs )

I CAN DO THE PLACARDS.

I'M A BIT OF AN ARTIST
AS IT HAPPENS, YOU KNOW.

I-- I-- I SEEM TO HAVE HAD

A SUDDEN ATTACK
OF TOURETTE'S, DON'T I?

CAN'T STOP TALKING AND I'M--

I'M SAYING COMPLETELY
THE WRONG THINGS.

AND, WELL-- YOU--
I REALLY MUST GO.

EXCUSE ME,
I REALLY HAVE TO GO.

I'LL JUST, UM-- UH--

REALLY NICE
TO MEET YOU ALL.

REALLY. I--

Journalist:
SHIT. FUCK.

BLIMEY. WHAT ON EARTH
AM I DOING?

DRIVE, SIMON.
FOR GOD'S SAKE, DRIVE.

I'VE JUST MADE SUCH
AN EXHIBITION OF MYSELF.
I WAS COMPLETELY LUDICROUS.

- ( keys jangling )
- THIS IS A CREEPY PLACE.

THIS IS FUCKING CREEPY.

YOU REALLY SLEEP HERE?

YEAH. SOME DAYS.

I LIKE IT.

I'LL SHOW YOU AROUND.
IT'S VERY BIG.

YEAH.

JESUS, THIS IS
A SCARY PLACE!

THERE ARE BAD VIBES HERE.

THERE'RE SOME
VERY BAD VIBES.

( laughs )
IT'S FINE.

IT REALLY IS.

WHY'D YOU BRING ME HERE, JOE?

- THOUGHT YOU'D SCARE ME?
- NO.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT
THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO.

YOU WANT ME
TO LEAVE NOW, DO YOU?

THAT'S INTERESTING,
BECAUSE I SEEM TO REMEMBER

YOU BEGGING ME
TO COME HERE!

WHY DO YOU WANT ME
TO GO NOW, JOE?

EH?!

BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE
IT HERE, SO I THOUGHT
IT BETTER YOU WENT.

THAT'S FOR ME TO DECIDE!

WHEN YOU'VE BEEN
TO AS MANY PLACES AS I HAVE,

I'VE GOT MY OWN
WAY OF DECIDING
WHERE I WANT TO STAY.

AND YOU MIGHT NOT WANT
TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT IS.

WHEN I WENT TO FRANCE,
THEY LIKED EVERYTHING I DID...

OFFERED ME
A FOUR-YEAR CONTRACT.

PAID HOLIDAYS AS WELL.

SAME HOTEL THAT
TOM CRUISE STAYS IN.

- ( keys clattering )
- HARRY!

- JOE!
- HARRY!

JOE, DON'T RUN AWAY
FROM ME, MATE, COME ON!

JOE, DON'T MAKE ME
COME AND LOOK FOR YOU!

- ( keys jangling )
- HARRY!

Street kid:
COME ON, JOE!

- HARRY, WHERE ARE YOU?!
- Street kid: COME ON, MATE!

HARRY!

HARRY!

HARRY! HARRY!

HARRY, WAKE UP!

WAKE UP!

HARRY! WILL YOU FUCKING--

JESUS CHRIST!
WAKE UP!

HARRY! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

Street kid:
JOE! JOE!

JOE?

DON'T RUN AWAY
FROM ME, JOE.

YOU COME IN RIGHT NOW,
RIGHT HERE

AND TELL ME WHY
YOU WANT ME TO LEAVE.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT
I WANT TO DO ABOUT THAT.

- HERE I AM, JOE.
- ( door slams )

I HEARD SHOUTING
IN MY HOUSE!

GET OUT OF MY
HOUSE RIGHT NOW!

THANK YOU, MR. GRAHAM.

THAT SEEMED TO WORK
QUITE WELL, DIDN'T IT, JOE?

YEAH. HARRY'S DRUNK.

HE CERTAINLY IS.

WE MUST GET YOU
BETTER PROTECTION, JOE.

BUT MAYBE FOR NOW
WE CAN BORROW HIS BEER.

I HAD A TERRIBLE
NIGHT TONIGHT TOO, JOE.

SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

I MADE AN IDIOT OF MYSELF.

I WAS LIKE A MAN
LET OUT OF AN INSTITUTION
AFTER 20 YEARS OF SOLITARY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
I DON'T LIKE THIS HOUSE,

BUT I DON'T.

MAYBE TOO MANY GHOSTS,
PEOPLE I REMEMBER.

THERE ARE NO GHOSTS
HERE, MR. GRAHAM.

RIGHT, JOE.

- NONE OF ANY KIND?
- NO.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I SHOULD COME HERE
MORE OFTEN, SHOULDN'T I?

COME ON A VISIT--
SEE EVERYONE AGAIN.

MR. GRAHAM.

Graham:
HELLO, JOE.
HELLO, EVERYONE.

IT'S VERY GOOD
TO SEE YOU,
MR. GRAHAM.

YES, IT'S BEEN
FAR TOO LONG.

THE FLOOR LOOKS WONDERFUL.

EVERYTHING IS SO CLEAN.

SO WHO'S GOING TO JOIN ME

FOR A LITTLE FILM SHOW
IN THE CINEMA?

A CHANCE
TO HAVE A BREAK.

AS YOU CAN SEE,
PHILIP HAS GOT
SOME FILMS HERE.

WHO'S GOING TO JOIN ME?

I-- I'M SORRY, I'M A LITTLE
BUSY TODAY, MR. GRAHAM...

FOR THE FILMS. AND...

I THINK THE REST OF THE STAFF
HAVE TOO MUCH TO DO TOO.

Graham:
REALLY?

TOO BUSY
FOR A FILM SHOW?

DON'T I HAVE
ANY TAKERS AT ALL?

HOW ABOUT YOU, JOE?

SURE. I CAN COME.

MY FATHER BUILT THIS
TO SHOW HOLLYWOOD FILMS...

TO IMPRESS HIS FRIENDS.

YOU KNOW...

I WATCH A LOT OF MOVIES,

A LOT OF TV,
ESPECIALLY THE OLD ONES.
I HAVE THE TIME.

AND I ALWAYS
FIND MYSELF LOOKING

AT THE BACKGROUNDS
WHEN THE FILM GOES OUTSIDE.

YOU KNOW, THE OLD CARS,

THE CLOTHES,
THE PEOPLE'S FACES,

THE OLD BUILDINGS.

SO THIS IS A BIT
OF A PERSONAL WHIM OF MINE.

FILM THEY SHOT TO BE
IN THE BACKGROUND
OF THE STORY,

WHICH THEY CALLED
PHANTOM RIDES, JOE.

RIGHT.
THAT'S ALL IT IS THEN?

YEAH. THAT'S WHY
NOBODY WANTED TO COME.

( trolley bell rings )

BECAUSE THE CAMERA'S
ALWAYS MOVING,

I FIND THE BRAIN
MOVES WITH IT, JOE.

IT'S HOW WE SEE THINGS NOW,
FROM A CAR

OR FROM A BUS--
NOT THAT I'VE BEEN
ON A BUS RECENTLY, JOE.

SO YOU REALLY FIND
YOURSELF TIME TRAVELING.

I'VE HAD SOME
SOUND ADDED OF COURSE,

WHICH I THINK
WORKS QUITE WELL.

( clock tower chiming )

Graham:
AND YOU DO FEEL,
DON'T YOU,

THAT YOU'RE-- YOU'RE
RIDING INTO THE PAST?

DON'T YOU, JOE?

YEAH.

YEAH, ARE THEY VERY LONG,
THESE GHOST RIDES?

- PHANTOM RIDES, JOE.
- ( car horn beeps )

THIS IS THE LANDSCAPE
OF MY FATHER'S YOUTH, JOE.

THE STREETS
WHERE HE WAS YOUNG.

BECAUSE, SOMEHOW,
I'VE GOT TO FACE THE PAST,

FIND OUT IF THERE IS
ANYTHING I NEED WORRY ABOUT.

YOU'RE LOOKING
FOR SOMETHING THEN?

UP THERE?

IN A WAY.

I'M LOOKING FOR A BIT
OF COURAGE I SUPPOSE,
A BIT OF ENERGY.

EVER SINCE MY FATHER DIED
SIX YEARS AGO,

I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO DO THAT.

( crowd cheering )

- Graham: I LIKE THIS BIT.
- ( train whistle blares )

I WAS JUST A FARMER, JOE,

WITH A RATHER
RAMSHACKLE FARM

WHILE MY FATHER WAS
BUSY RUNNING HIS FORTUNE.

I LOVE CATTLE.

WELL, I LOVE ANIMALS
IN GENERAL,

BUT CATTLE IN PARTICULAR.

( mooing )

SO I FEEL I'VE GOT
TO GET TO GRIPS...

WITH HOW I'VE
ENDED UP WHO I AM.

( dog barking )

UNTIL I DO, IT'S LIKE
EVERYTHING'S BLOCKED.
I'M STUCK, JOE.

AFTER ALL, WITH ALL
THE MONEY I'VE GOT,

WHAT I COULD DO.

I COULD HELP
WITH DISEASE IN AFRICA
LIKE OTHERS ARE DOING.

I COULD HELP
CONTRIBUTE TO CONSERVATION.

I COULD HELP SAVE THINGS,
BUILD THINGS--

- YOU COULD.
- I COULD!

I NEED TO DISCOVER MORE,
JOE, ABOUT MY FATHER...

ABOUT HIS MONEY.

I'M THINKING ALL THE TIME,

I CAN'T SPEND THE MONEY
UNTIL I KNOW ABOUT IT...

UNTIL I UNDERSTAND
COMPLETELY

HOW IT WAS ALL MADE.

AH, THAT'S GOOD.

Graham:
YES, ISN'T IT?

Joe's voice:
I WENT OUT FOR A WALK
WITH HIM TODAY.

I KEEP THINKING
ABOUT HIM KILLING PEOPLE

WITH HIS BARE HANDS.

AND WHETHER HE REALLY
DID IT OR NOT.

IF HE'D DO IT AGAIN.

WERE YOU IN THE ARMY,
MR. GRAHAM?

I WAS.

WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG,
I BURIED MYSELF IN THE ARMY

FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS,

TO STOP MYSELF
HAVING TO WORRY

ABOUT WHO I WAS.

( upbeat music playing )

OH, I WAS HOPING THIS WOULD
BE WAS HAPPENING TODAY.

I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE.

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU
DON'T GET OUT VERY MUCH

LIKE ME, JOE,
WHEN YOU DO

EVERYTHING SEEMS
RATHER BRIGHT AND VIVID.

YOU CAN'T REALLY TELL
IF THEY KNOW EACH OTHER

OR IF THEY'RE
COMPLETE STRANGERS.

Joe:
THERE'S TINA!

I NEVER THOUGHT
SHE'D BE DOING THIS.

JOE! MR. GRAHAM.

HELLO, TINA.

- GOOD TO SEE YOU OUT AND ABOUT,
AWAY FROM ALL THE CHEESES.
- ( chuckles )

SINCE I DON'T
SUPPOSE I'M GOING TO GET
EITHER OF YOU TO DANCE,

WHY DON'T YOU
COME SIT OVER THERE?
I'VE GOT SOME FRUIT.

( soft music playing )

WHAT DO YOU DO
ALL DAY, MR. GRAHAM,

WHEN YOU'RE NOT EATING
STUFF FROM THE DELI?

Graham:
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION, TINA.

WELL, I RECEIVE
A LOT OF REPORTS

ABOUT MY MONEY,
OF COURSE.

I'M TRYING TO FIND
SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE SENSE

OF MY FATHER'S ARCHIVE,

FIND OUT ABOUT
HIS FINANCIAL HISTORY.

I KEEP HIRING
DIFFERENT PEOPLE,

BUT I AM NOT SURE
THEY'RE GETTING AT THE TRUTH.

HERE, YOU SHOULD
GET TINA TO DO IT.

- ( Tina scoffs )
- THE WAY SHE SLICES
THAT SALAMI,

- SHE'LL GET
THROUGH IT ALL RIGHT.
- ( Graham laughs )

AND SHE LIKES
HISTORY TOO, DON'T SHE?

WELL, WHAT DO YOU
WANT DOING?

WHATEVER IT IS,
I COULD HAVE A TRY.

Graham:
THESE ARE THE MOST
IMPORTANT BOXES--

ALL MY FATHER'S
DIARIES AND LETTERS.

THERE'S MORE OVER
IN THE BIG HOUSE.

I'LL HAVE THEM
BROUGHT OVER.

OKAY.

I'LL START READING
THIS LOT THEN,

EVERY PAGE.

I'LL DO IT
THREE DAYS A WEEK.

I'M STILL GOING
TO DO TWO AT THE DELI

SO IT WILL TAKE ME
QUITE A WHILE, MR. GRAHAM.

RIGHT. I SEE.

- KEEPING THE DELI ON,
JUST IN CASE.
- MMM.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN THROUGH ALL THESE
ALREADY, OF COURSE.

SO IF YOU READ
THEIR FINDINGS,

THEN ANYTHING
YOU UNCOVER
THAT DOESN'T FIT

OR CONTRADICTS,
JUST LET ME KNOW.

I JUST FEEL THEY MAY
HAVE MISSED SOMETHING.

AND YOU THINK
I'LL SPOT IT?

WELL, ON THE FACE
OF IT, TINA,

IT SEEMS
UNLIKELY, BUT--

BUT WORTH A TRY.

I AGREE.

HELLO, JOE.

IT'S ME AGAIN.

HOW I'VE MISSED
THIS KITCHEN.

- AND I'VE MISSED YOU, JOE.
- OF COURSE.

LOOKS FANTASTIC,
DOESN'T HE?

Richard:
THERE'S SOMETHING
NEW ABOUT YOU, JOE.

IS IT YOUR HAIR?

WELL, THERE'S
SOMETHING'S CHANGED.

- TELL US YOUR NEWS.
- A LOT'S BEEN HAPPENING.

THERE'S A NEW SECURITY GUARD
CALLED MARTIN.

HE SAYS EVEN LESS
THAN THE LAST ONE.

HARRY WAS A DRUNK THOUGH,

BUT I THINK
MARTIN STAYS AWAKE.

SOME OF THE CLEANERS
HAVE LEFT.

MY MUM'S GONE TO SPAIN.

SHE SENDS ME POSTCARDS.

AND MR. GRAHAM
HAS HIRED TINA,
THE GIRL FROM THE DELI,

TO HELP WITH HIS
FATHER'S PAPERS BECAUSE
THE HISTORIANS FAILED TO--

HE HASN'T?
THE GIRL FROM THE DELI?

- HE HASN'T DONE THAT.
- YEAH.

THAT'S WONDERFUL,
ISN'T IT, CHARLOTTE?

THE GIRL FROM THE DELI
TO DO HIS RESEARCH?

HE REALLY HAS
GONE INSANE NOW.
DON'T YOU THINK, JOE?

MR. ELLIOT'S NOT MAD.
HE'S A BIT--

MAYBE YOU SHOULD
PAY HIM A VISIT,

SEE WHAT YOU THINK,
SEE IF HE'S MAD OR--

JESUS, NO. I'M NOT SPENDING
MORE TIME WITH THAT SCARY
GUY UNLESS I HAVE TO.

Richard:
COME ON, WE'VE GOT
TO RECHRISTEN THE ROOM.

I PUT A TELLY IN THERE...

IN CASE YOU
YOU WANTED IT.

RIGHT, AND THE HEATING'S ON
AND EVERYTHING?

YEAH, OF COURSE.

- IT'S YOU.
- HELLO, JOE.

SORRY, I WAS JUST
HAVING AN AFTERNOON NAP.

IT WAS SO QUIET,
I THOUGHT I COULD.

I WAS JUST PASSING.

ONE OF THE GIRLS LET ME IN.

IT'S ONLY ME TODAY.

- RIGHT.
- I NEED TO BE ON MY OWN.

( Charlotte crying )

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I AM SORRY.
I'M BEING VERY STUPID.

- IS IT ABOUT RICHARD?
- NO.

NO, IT'S CERTAINLY
NOT ABOUT RICHARD. NO.

SOMETIMES, I'M JUST--

YEAH?

--SO FULL OF FEAR, JOE.

ABOUT WHAT?

FOR MY KIDS.

HOW TO KEEP THEM SAFE,
LOTS OF THINGS.

WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

- IT MUST SEEM
ODD TO YOU, JOE.
- NO.

YOU CAN COME HERE
WHENEVER YOU WANT.

( giggles )

Joe's voice:
I DON'T SEE MR. GRAHAM,

BUT THAT DOESN'T MATTER
BECAUSE SHE'S COMING HERE
TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK

ON HER OWN, JUST TO SIT
AND WATCH THE TV.

Woman on TV:
...they're going
to hit the insurgents

with an antique
tank missile.

Joe's voice:
I DON'T DISTURB HER,
BUT I DO MAKE TEA FOR HER.

( bombs exploding on TV )

WHY IS THE HOUSE LIKE THIS?

- AH, THERE YOU ARE.
- GOOD NIGHT, MR. GRAHAM.

GOOD NIGHT.

NOTHING YET--
NOTHING THAT OTHER
PEOPLE HAVEN'T FOUND.

AH.

NIGHT.

( purring )

- ( bell rings )
- ( meows )

AH, HERE YOU ARE JOE. GOOD.

AND THIS IS PATRICIA.

I WAS HOPING TO SHOW
PATRICIA THE HOUSE,
IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT, JOE.

- OH, IT'S LOVELY.
- YES, MAGNIFICENT,
ISN'T IT?

IT'S LIKE A NICE
OLD-FASHIONED HOTEL.

( Richard chuckling )

WHAT SORT OF HOTELS
DO YOU STAY IN?

OH, YOU KNOW,
WHEN I WAS LITTLE,

BY THE SEASIDE
WITH MY PARENTS.

NO, IT'S GREAT.

( quietly )
AND, UH, I'LL JUST
SHOW YOU THE UPSTAIRS NOW.

WE'RE JUST GOING
TO HAVE A LOOK AT
THE UPSTAIRS, JOE.

WE'RE GONNA
HAVE A GOOD LOOK.
WE DON'T NEED ANYTHING.

Patricia:
HE'S A FUNNY SORT
OF SECURITY GUARD, ISN'T HE?

BUT I SUPPOSE THEY
DON'T GET MANY VISITORS.

- ( Richard laughs )
- ( keys jangling )

( keys clattering loudly )

MR. REECE!
MR. REECE!

- YES, JOE?
- YOU GOTTA LEAVE.

I JUST GOT A CALL.
MR. GRAHAM'S COMING
HERE RIGHT NOW.

SO? WHAT ABOUT IT, JOE?

SO YOU GOTTA LEAVE.

HE-- HE'S COMING UP HERE,
I KNOW HE IS.

- YOU GOTTA LEAVE.
COME ON, I'LL TIDY UP!
- Richard: JOE--

EXCUSE ME.

- RICHARD--
- JOE.

JOE!

JUST GIVE US A MOMENT.

I WANT YOU TO LISTEN
TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.

ARE YOU DOING THAT?

YOU REMEMBER I ONCE
SAID TO YOU YOU'RE
A VERY CLEVER GUY?

DO YOU REMEMBER
ME SAYING THAT?

WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
MARKS ONE OUT AS BEING CLEVER

IS THE ABILITY TO HOLD TWO
DIFFERENT IDEAS IN ONE'S HEAD

AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME.

AND MAYBE THESE IDEAS
SEEM TO CONTRADICT
EACH OTHER.

I'M A VERY BUSY MAN,
AS YOU KNOW,

UNDER A LOT OF PRESSURE.
I'M NOT LIKE MR. GRAHAM

WHO DOES NOTHING AT ALL,
HAS TO TAKE NO DECISIONS,

HAS NO RESPONSIBILITIES
OF ANY KIND.

I HAVE TO WORK
IMMENSELY HARD.

AND SOMETIMES I HAVE
TO DO CERTAIN THINGS
SO I CAN GO ON FUNCTIONING.

SO IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ME
TO BE CLOSE TO CHARLOTTE,

REALLY CLOSE, AND FOR ME
TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE.

I CAN BE HAPPILY MARRIED,
WHICH I AM,

BUT ALSO LOVE CHARLOTTE.
YOU FOLLOW ME?

EQUALLY, I CAN BE VERY
DEDICATED TO MY WORK,

BUT ALSO NEED TO TAKE RISKS.

BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T DO THAT
I'D CEASE TO BE ABLE TO DO
ANYTHING AT ALL.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

I UNDERSTAND.

TODAY WE WILL LEAVE.

BUT IN THE FUTURE,
YOU'LL BE FINE ABOUT IT.

WON'T YOU?

Joe's voice:
FRIDAY.

AS I WRITE THIS,
SHE'S SITTING OPPOSITE ME.

I HAVEN'T TOLD HER
ANYTHING OF COURSE.

JOE?

YEAH?

WHAT ARE YOU WRITING?

JUST KEEPING A RECORD
OF WHAT HAPPENS IN THE HOUSE.

AND WHAT HAPPENS
IN THE HOUSE...

APART FROM ME
AND RICHARD?

MOSTLY, IT'S CLEANING.

AND THE BIT
THAT ISN'T CLEANING?

I KNOW HE HAS
OTHER PEOPLE, JOE.

- YOU KNOW?
- YES.

I WOULDN'T SAY HE
SHAGS ANYTHING THAT MOVES,

NOT QUITE.

BUT HE HAS A LOT OF WOMEN.

HE PROBABLY HAS OTHER
EMPTY HOUSE BELONGING
TO BILLIONAIRES

SCATTERED ABOUT THE PLACE,

OTHER BOYS OPENING
THE DOOR TO HIM.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT, JOE?

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

IT REALLY DOESN'T
MATTER TO ME.

ARE YOU GONNA
WRITE THAT DOWN TOO?

"IT REALLY DIDN'T
MATTER TO CHARLOTTE...

AT ALL."

DON'T THINK
BADLY OF ME, JOE.

- ( bell rings )
- THERE HE IS.

AREN'T YOU GONNA
OPEN THE DOOR, JOE?

IT'S-- IT'S REALLY GREAT
BEING ABLE TO WORK IN HERE,

MR. GRAHAM, BUT, UH,
YOUR... PACING, IT'S A BIT--

I'LL STOP, TINA.
SORRY.

JUST A BIT WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT YOU MIGHT FIND.

BUT THEN I WANT YOU
TO FIND SOMETHING, I THINK.

MUST SEEM ODD, I KNOW...

ME SAYING I CAN'T
DO ANYTHING...

UNTIL THIS IS SOLVED.

WELL, IF THERE'S
ANYTHING TO SOLVE.

( distant car horns blaring )

( distant voices shouting )

FORGIVE ME, TINA,
BUT I HAVE TO GO.

I'LL BE STRAIGHT BACK.

JOE! JOE!

JOE, WHERE ARE YOU?

JOE! WHERE ARE YOU, JOE?

JOE! JOE!

WHERE THE HELL
ARE YOU? JOE!

JOE, THE GIRL UPSTAIRS,
I THINK SHE'S IN PAIN.

YOU MUST HELP
ME FIND HER.

DO YOU KNOW WHICH
ROOM THEY WERE USING?

- I THINK SHE'S REALLY ILL.
- SHE WAS ALL RIGHT
WHEN SHE ARRIVED.

SHE'S ILL I TELL YOU!
COME ON!

I SAW HER IN PAIN.

THIS IS THE BATHROOM
I CAN SEE FROM MY HOUSE.

SHE WAS RIGHT THERE.

Charlotte:
WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?

ARE YOU FEELING ALL RIGHT?

I SAW YOU THROUGH
THE WINDOW.

YOU DID, DID YOU?

I KNEW YOU WERE
SPYING ON US.

JESUS, I KNEW THAT'S
WHAT YOU WERE DOING.

I DON'T SPY ON YOU,
I JUST HAPPENED TO SEE YOU

THROUGH THE WINDOW.
YOU WERE UNWELL, SO I--

- JUST HAPPENED TO SEE ME?
- YES.

- IS THAT WHY YOU'RE SMILING?
- NO, I'M NOT SMILING.

I'M SORRY, BUT DON'T YOU
THINK IT'S PATHETIC?

- TRULY PATHETIC?
- Graham: WHAT?

LETTING PEOPLE
USE THIS HOUSE

SO YOU CAN STARE AT THEM
THROUGH THE WINDOW?

YOU'RE JUST A FUCKING
VOYEUR, AREN'T YOU,

WATCHING EVERYTHING
FROM ACROSS THE ROAD!?

I KNEW THAT'S
WHAT YOU WERE DOING!

RICHARD SAID "NO NO NO,
HE'S JUST AN ECCENTRIC GUY."

BUT I KNEW IT!
I SAW YOU

WATCHING FROM THE WINDOW,
GAZING AT US ALL THE TIME!

I NEVER WATCH FROM ACROSS
THE ROAD, NOT ON PURPOSE--

CHRIST, THAT'S SAD,
ISN'T IT?

THAT'S REALLY
REALLY SAD!

USING OTHER PEOPLE'S
LIVES LIKE THAT

JUST BECAUSE YOU
CAN'T EVEN GET OUT
THE FRONT DOOR YOURSELF.

YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING!

YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING
WITH THIS HOUSE!

( crying )
YOU CAN'T DO
ANYTHING WITH YOUR LIFE.

JUST LOOK AT WHAT
YOU'VE DONE TO THE BOY.

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE
DONE TO HIM--

GETTING HIM TO STARE TOO.

CHRIST. THAT'S SICK.

THAT'S SO SICK.
THAT'S UNFORGIVABLE.

YOU SHOULD BE
ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!

Joe's voice:
I KNOW SHE GOT A SHOCK...

SEEING US IN
THE PASSAGE LIKE THAT.

I KNOW SHE WAS
ANGRY WITH HERSELF,
PROBABLY, AS WELL.

BUT I HAVEN'T
SEEN HER SINCE.

THE HOUSE
SEEMS VERY QUIET.

AND MR. GRAHAM
DON'T VISIT.

- I SEE HIM THROUGH
THE WINDOW...
- ( car starts )

ONCE OR TWICE.

HE'S WAITING ON THE RESULTS
OF TINA'S WORK.

LIKE HE SAID TO ME
IN THE CINEMA...

EVERYTHING WILL START
TO GO FORWARD THEN.

TWO THINGS
HAPPENED TODAY.

MRS. HOPKINS
TOLD ME SHE'S LEAVING.

SHE EVEN GAVE ME HER KEYS.

IT'S TIME FOR ME
TO MOVE ON, JOE.

AT LAST.

RIGHT.

SO YOU'RE MOVING ON.

I'M NOT SURE YOU
SHOULD STAY TOO LONG
IN THIS HOUSE, JOE.

Joe's voice:
AND THEN I HEARD
TINA'S FINISHED HER WORK.

WE'RE GONNA HEAR
THE RESULTS ON THURSDAY.

I LIKE THE IDEA
OF HEARING IT HERE
IN THE KITCHEN,

DON'T YOU, JOE?
LESS FORMAL.

EASIER FOR EVERYONE
TO HEAR WHATEVER IT IS.

SO I THINK I HAVE FOUND
SOMETHING, MR. GRAHAM--

SOMETHING NEW,

INFORMATION THAT WASN'T
IN ANYBODY ELSE'S REPORTS.

- AND I THINK THE BEST WAY--
- BEFORE YOU START, TINA,

CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME IDEA--

IT MAY NOT BE
FAIR TO ASK, BUT--

ON A SCALE OF ONE TO 10...

HOW BAD IS IT?

I'M NOT SURE I CAN
DO THAT, MR. GRAHAM.

I MEAN, PEOPLE MAY TAKE
DIFFERENT ATTITUDES TO THIS,

DEPENDING ON WHO THEY ARE.

HE WASN'T
THE ONLY ONE TO DO THIS.

I DON'T LIKE
THE SOUND OF THAT.

( lighter clicks )

COME HERE AND TELL ME
ALL ABOUT IT.

IT'S FROM THE 1930s,
ISN'T IT?

WHEN HE WAS VERY YOUNG,
VERY INEXPERIENCED.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT
HOW HE GOT HIS START.

- IS IT VERY BAD?
- IT'S NOT SOMETHING

HE COULD'VE
GONE TO JAIL FOR.

READY? IT WAS
IN A BUNCH OF LETTERS

AND LOOSE DIARY PAGES

BUNDLED TOGETHER
IN A FILE

CALLED
"COUNTRY WALKS."

I THINK THAT'S
WHY NOBODY ELSE

BOTHERED TO LOOK AT IT.

- SO SHALL I TELL
YOU WHAT HE SAYS?
- NO.

I MEAN...
NOT THIS MINUTE.

I THINK YOU SHOULD
HEAR THIS, MR. GRAHAM.

YES, I KNOW I SHOULD.

WELL, YOU WANT
TO KNOW, DON'T YOU?

OF COURSE I WANT TO KNOW, I--

I JUST DON'T WANT
TO DO IT HERE, NOT NOW.

I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.

THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
ABOUT DOING IT IN THIS HOUSE.

I'M NOT PUTTING IT OFF.

I'M REALLY NOT
PUTTING IT OFF.

BUT YOU COME WITH ME, TINA.

JOE, STAY HERE.

WE'VE GOTTA GO BACK
TO MY HOUSE.

WE WILL DO IT, TINA.

Joe's voice:
TIME TO BRIGHTEN MYSELF UP.

TWO WEEKS HAVE GONE
SINCE I SAW HIM.

I THINK SHE
MUST HAVE TOLD HIM.

I ONLY SEE HIM
THROUGH THE WINDOW.

I KEEP WATCHING THOUGH,

TO SEE IF I CAN CATCH HIM
IN THE STREET.

- YES, JOE?
- JUST WANTED TO SAY HELLO,

- YOU KNOW, SEE HOW YOU ARE.
- I'M FINE.

I'M JUST OFF FOR A LITTLE
TRIP TO THE COUNTRY.

WHAT, TO THE CASTLE?
ARE YOU GOING TO THAT CASTLE
YOU SHOWED ME A PICTURE OF?

- AS IT HAPPENS, YES, I AM.
- WELL, CAN I COME?

NO, JOE.

PLEASE!

PLEASE, CAN I COME?

OI! PLEASE!

PLEASE!

( birds twittering )

( car doors closing )

THANK YOU, SIMON.

MY FATHER BOUGHT ME
THIS CASTLE.

HE BOUGHT IT FOR YA?

YES. HELLO.

AS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT
WHEN I WAS NINE.

ONE OF THE FEW WAYS
HE COMMUNICATED WITH ME

WAS BY GIVING ME PRESENTS.

AND THIS TIME HE THOUGHT
HE'D GIVE ME SOMETHING I
REALLY REALLY WANTED.

IT WAS WONDERFUL,
OF COURSE.

I MEAN, WHAT BOY
IN THE WORLD

HAD A GREATER PRESENT
FROM THEIR FATHER?

AND WHAT COULD BE WRONG
WITH SUCH A GIFT?

( car driving away )

AROUND HERE
I HAD MY FARM--

COUPLE OF MILES OVER THERE,
WHERE I WAS HAPPY.

DAIRY FARM.

LOVELY PLACE.

I GAVE THE CASTLE
TO THE NATIONAL TRUST.

NOW EVERYONE CAN COME HERE.

THERE AREN'T MANY PEOPLE
HERE TODAY, THOUGH,
ARE THERE?

OOPS.

( chuckles )

NOT REALLY DRESSED
FOR ALL THIS, AM I?

YOU GOING TO
A MEETING HERE?

NO, JOE.

( animals squawking,
chattering )

Graham:
I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.

AH!

I THOUGHT THIS
MIGHT STILL BE HERE.

I USED TO DO THIS
AS A CHILD...

GO AROUND THE CASTLE
WITH MY FATHER IN THIS.

JOE.

I THINK IT'S GONNA BE
A LOVELY AFTERNOON.

YOU MIND DOING MOST
OF THE DRIVING, JOE?

I'M NOT SURE
WE'LL GO VERY QUICK.

I ONLY DONE THIS
ONCE BEFORE.

VERY GOOD, JOE.

DID TINA TELL YOU

WHAT SHE FOUND OUT
ABOUT MY FATHER?

NO.

NO, SHE DIDN'T.

WAS IT SOMETHING BEFORE
THE SECOND WORLD WAR

LIKE YOU SAID?

IT WASN'T DIFFICULT
TO GUESS

IT MIGHT'VE
BEEN COLLABORATION--

DOING BUSINESS
WITH THE NAZIS.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THERE WAS A SMALL CHANCE

HE MADE A LOT
OF HIS EARLY MONEY DOING
BUSINESS WITH THE GERMANS.

I HOPED AGAINST HOPE IT WASN'T
GOING TO BE REALLY BAD.

I MEAN, THERE WERE
LOTS OF PEOPLE DOING IT,

MAKING MONEY
OUT OF THE THIRD REICH.

ROCKEFELLER IN THE U.S.,
OF COURSE--

GETTING THEM OIL,
GETTING THEM MONEY--

IN THIS COUNTRY TOO.

IT'S TERRIBLE, I KNOW.
UNFORGIVABLE.

BUT THERE WERE
A LOT OF PEOPLE DOING IT.

AND SOME OF THEIR OUTFITS
ARE STILL GOING STRONG.

AND DOING VERY
NICELY TOO, THANK YOU.

BUT THERE'S SOMETHING
IN MY FATHER'S COUNTRY WALK--

( laughs )

IT WASN'T A COUNTRY WALK,
AS IT HAPPENS.

IT WAS IN A PARK.

LITERALLY
A WALK IN THE PARK...

IN BERLIN, THE LAST '30s.

THEY DROVE TO THE PARK.

THERE WAS A LITTLE
PARTY OF THEM.

HE WAS WITH SOME BUDDIES,

A COUPLE OF COLLEAGUES
FROM THE BRITISH CONSULATE...

HIS AMERICAN
BUSINESS COLLEAGUE

AND A GERMAN CONTACT

WHO THEY WERE
DOING BUSINESS WITH.

( kids shouting, playing )

AND WHAT DID THEY SEE?

I CAN IMAGINE IT
SO EASILY, JOE,

FROM WHAT HE WROTE.

FIRST THEY SEE IT FROM THE CAR
AS THEY'RE RIDING ALONG.

BUT IT'S DIFFICULT
TO WORK OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.

AND THEN THEY
SEE THE STORM TROOPERS

OR POLICE.

HE DESCRIBES THEM
AS YOUNG MEN IN UNIFORM.

AND THEY'RE STOPPING
ANYONE WHO'S JEWISH.

AND THEY DIVIDE
THE MEN FROM THE WOMEN.

- SHALL WE TAKE A LOOK...
- Graham's voice:
IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY

ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON
IN THE PARK,

THEY MAKE
THE MEN UNDRESS.

( woman chattering
in German )

AND MY FATHER
SAYS SIMPLY...

"AND THE MEN WERE MADE
TO MAKE QUITE AN EXHIBITION
OF THEMSELVES."

AND OF THE WOMEN

HE SAYS,
"WELL, THEY HAD SOMETHING

STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CIRCUS."

IT'S NOT HORROR,

NO BODIES.

BUT IT'S ALMOST WORSE.

THEY MADE THE WOMEN
CLIMB THE TREES.

THEY WERE TERRIFIED.

AND THEN THEY TOOK
ALL THE LADDERS AWAY.

AND THEY WERE SHOUTING

"YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE
A NOISE LIKE A LOT OF BIRDS.

YOU'RE GOING
TO SING LIKE BIRDS.

YOU ARE GOING TO SAY
'CUCKOO, CUCKOO.'

YOU ARE GOING TO SING
'TWEET TWEET.' SING!"

Women:
TWEET TWEET.

TWEET TWEET.

( shouting in German )

- ( women tweeting, crying )
- ( Nazis shouting in German )

Graham's voice:
THEY HAD TO CHIRP LIKE BIRDS

OR THEY WERE
BEATEN SENSELESS.

( women tweeting )

( crying )
CUCKOO.

TWEET!

( whimpering )

( crying, panting )

THE WORDS MY FATHER USES,

WHAT HE SAID ABOUT WHAT HE

AND HIS BUSINESS COLLEAGUES
SAW IN THE PARK,

- WHAT HE WATCHED HAPPEN...
- TWEET TWEET.

...WITH TWO MEN
FROM THE BRITISH CONSULATE

AND THE AMERICAN,

HE SAYS,

"THEY CERTAINLY
DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY HERE.

WE ALL AGREED."

( laughs )
I LOVE THAT--

"WE ALL AGREED,

THEY CERTAINLY REALLY
DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY HERE."

I THINK

THAT'S THE MOST TERRIBLE
SENTENCE I'VE EVER HEARD.

AND THESE, JOE,

- THESE WERE THE PEOPLE
HE WAS DOING BUSINESS WITH...
- ( women tweeting )

...WHO HE WAS TO OWE
HIS FORTUNE TO.

THAT'S WHAT TINA FOUND.

I'VE BEEN SO
FULL OF RAGE, JOE,

THESE LAST FEW WEEKS.

( crying )
SO FULL OF RAGE...

ABOUT WHAT MY FATHER DID.

( chuckles )

AND THE LITTLE ANIMALS--
THE ONES YOU TOOK ON THE TELLY.

THEY'D SAT FOR YEARS
ON THE MANTELPIECE.

I WAS FASCINATED
BY THEM AS A CHILD.

OF COURSE THEY HAD
ORIGINALLY BELONGED
TO A JEWISH FAMILY.

THEY WERE STOLEN FROM THEM

AND GIVEN TO MY FATHER
AS PRESENTS

BY HIS NAZI
BUSINESS COLLEAGUES.

YOU CAN PUT ME
OFF HERE, JOE.

HERE?

YEAH. I'LL TAKE A WALK,

HAVING A RELIVED ALL THAT.

JOE, YOU COULDN'T
BE REALLY KIND

AND TAKE THE CANOE BACK?

JUST KEEP GOING
ROUND THE MOAT THAT WAY

TILL YOU COME TO THE PLACE
WHERE WE FOUND IT.

THANK YOU.
IT'S REALLY MOST KIND.

- YOU'LL MEET ME THERE?
- OH, YES.

I'LL MEET YOU THERE.

( gun clicks )

MR. GRAHAM!

HOLD UP!

OI! MR. GRAHAM!

HE'S GONNA HURT HIMSELF!

MR. GRAHAM!

SOMEBODY HELP ME!

HE'S GONNA HURT HIMSELF!
MR. GRAHAM!

MR. GRAHAM!

MR. GRAHAM!

( Joe grunts )

MR. GRAHAM!

KEEP AWAY FROM ME, JOE.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT!
YOU MUSTN'T DO THAT!

WHAT'S THE POINT
OF DOING THAT?!

I SHOULD NEVER HAVE BROUGHT
YOU HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

IT WAS UNFORGIVABLE OF ME
TO INVOLVE YOU IN ALL THIS.

PLEASE, PLEASE GO AWAY.
LEAVE ME.

- YOU SHOULD NOT BE HERE.
- BUT I AM, RIGHT?

YOU BROUGHT ME
SO I COULD STOP YOU!

JOE! THAT IS NOT TRUE.

THAT IS NOT THE CASE!

- NO! NO!
- ( ducks squawking )

( wings flapping )

QUITE RIGHT, JOE.

QUITE RIGHT.

- WHAT WAS THE POINT
IN DOING THAT?
- YEAH.

DIDN'T DRESS FOR LYING
ON THE GRASS, DID I?

( laughs )
NO.

NOW YOU FOUND OUT
EVERYTHING, IT'LL ALL
BE DIFFERENT, REMEMBER?

WILL IT?

I'M NOT THAT SURE
I CAN MAKE AMENDS.

YOU CAN MEET NEW PEOPLE,

START GOING OUT AGAIN.

THAT I CAN.

YOU'RE RIGHT.
THAT I SHALL DO.

AND NOT JUST TO THE DELI
AND THE LOBSTER RESTAURANT.

( chuckles )

OF COURSE.
YOU'RE RIGHT. YES, JOE.

WHAT YOUR FATHER DID...

IT WAS A DIFFICULT
THING TO FIND OUT.

YOU NEEDED
TO BE A BIT BRAVE,
LIKE YOU SAID--

KEEP AT IT--
AND I THINK YOU WERE.

- ME, BRAVE?
- I THINK SO, YEAH.

THANK YOU, JOE.

WHAT ABOUT THE HOUSE?

WHY DIDN'T I DO MORE ABOUT
THE HOUSE ALL THESE YEARS?

IT WASN'T VERY
STRONG-WILLED OF ME

TO LEAVE IT EMPTY
ALL THAT TIME, WAS IT?

LET RICHARD
AND CHARLOTTE USE IT--

THAT WAS OKAY,
LETTING THEM USE IT.
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THAT?

NOTHING, MAYBE.

IT DIDN'T MAKE THEM
HAPPY THOUGH.

Joe's voice:
I DID SEE RICHARD AGAIN,

JUST ONCE.

( chuckles )
AND HE SUDDENLY
YELLED AT ME.

JOE! JOE, OVER HERE!
JOE!

HOW ARE YOU?
YOU LOOK GREAT.

I'M FINE.
HOW ARE YOU?

BUSY, OF COURSE.

WE'RE FANTASTICALLY BUSY,
LOTS TO IMPLEMENT.

AND I'M SURVIVING TOO,
AS ALWAYS.

NO, IT'S--
IT'S ALL GREAT.

I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN, JOE,

SOONER THAN YOU THINK.

Joe's voice:
HE ALWAYS HAS TO
STAY MOVING, LIKE HE SAID.

I THINK HE'S SCARED
OF DOING ANYTHING ELSE.

HE NEVER WANTS TO BE STILL
FOR A SINGLE MOMENT.

NOT SURE WHERE
IT GETS HIM THOUGH.

( birds twittering )

Joe's voice:
I SAW HER TOO.

WE ARRANGED
TO HAVE A WALK.

SHE TOLD ME
ABOUT HER KIDS

AND I TOLD HER
ABOUT WHAT TINA FOUND.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT
THERE WAS SOMETHING SAD

ABOUT THAT HOUSE, JOE.

MAYBE IT WAS JUST ME,
OF COURSE, WHAT I WAS FEELING.

AND I DIDN'T REALLY
NOTICE ANYTHING, BUT...

MAYBE IT IS THAT PLACE.

YOU OUGHT TO GET
OUT OF THERE, JOE.
GET OUT OF THAT HOUSE.

I WILL.
YEAH, SOON.

NO, NOT SOON, RIGHT NOW.

- YOU'VE GOTTA GET ON
WITH YOUR LIFE.
- YEAH.

YOU SHOULD
LISTEN TO ME, JOE.

I CARE ABOUT YOU.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN
AWFUL FOR MR. GRAHAM

TO FIND OUT
ABOUT HIS FATHER.

BUT IN A WAY,
I ENVY HIM.

- YOU ENVY HIM?
- YEAH.

NOT FOR HIS MONEY.

OF COURSE,
I WOULDN'T SAY NO TO THAT...

A LITTLE CORNER OF THAT.

( sighs )

BUT NOW HE'S
FOUND THINGS OUT,

MAYBE THAT'S...

SOLVED HIS LONELINESS.

I CAN'T DO THAT, JOE.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

Joe's voice:
THE HOUSE IS GONNA BE TOTALLY
REDECORATED AND CHANGED.

IT'LL STILL
HAVE A BIT OF A WEIRD
ATMOSPHERE, I THINK...

WHATEVER COLOR
THEY PAINT IT.

IT PROBABLY
ALWAYS WILL HAVE.

MR. GRAHAM'S
FULL OF SCHEMES
AND PROJECTS NOW.

THINGS ARE GOING ON
ALL OVER THE WORLD.

HE'S BEGUN
TO SPEND HIS MONEY.

AND HE'S ALSO
SEARCHED VERY HARD

AND MANAGED TO FIND
SOME RELATIVES OF THE FAMILY

THAT OWNED
THE LITTLE ANIMALS.

AND THEY'VE BEEN
RETURNED TO 'EM,

AND ARE NOW SITTING
IN A SMALL APARTMENT

IN NORTH CAROLINA.

AND I'VE TAKEN
CHARLOTTE'S ADVICE.

I'M LEAVING THE HOUSE.

I NEED TO DO
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YET.

I'M PROUD
OF ONE THING THOUGH--

TINA AND I...

WE DID STOP HIM
BEING STUCK.

( water trickling )

( orchestra playing )
