I'm Alma, Hitch's wife.
-Hi.

-I didn't realise how young
you were going to be.

Quite the youngest one

Cary is, of course,
eternally youthful himself,

but I was worried
you might get bored.

-That's very kind, but no need
to be concerned on my part.

I'm old beyond my years.

-How long have you and Cary
been an item?

-Oh no, we're not an item.

-Well, that makes sense

because he's still married
to my friend Betsy.

-I don't know
what Cary's told you,

but we're just
taking it easy right now.

-Alma, please tell me there's
something to drink in this house

other than these

-Sorry, darling.

Dyan was just telling me

-Well, it's the truth.

-Ha. Pleased to see you.

I don't believe it's you.

Little Archie all grown up.

-Hello, Dad.

-Oh, this is, uh --
this is your, uh --

this is Eric.

-My brother. Half brother.

How do you do?
-All right.

-Eric, get Archie a drink,
will you?

What'll you have?
Pint of bitter?

-Why not?

So, how have you been
these last few decades?

-Yeah, can't complain.

Enough money to keep us
in baccy and bevvies.

You can't ask
for more than that, can you?

-Right.

-What's your accent, boy?

-I've been in America
quite a long time.

You may not have noticed.

It tends to rub off.

-[ Chuckles ]
Well, you've done mighty well.

Don't think I'm not
proud of you.

I'm just sorry you didn't
carry on with the family name.

-Well, they asked me
to change it,

and I wasn't really
in a position to refuse.

-As long as you're not
ashamed of us.

[ Indistinct conversations
in background ]

-Well, [sighs]...

...I'm here.

What is it you wanted to say

that you couldn't say
on the telephone?

-Ah.

-Thank you, Eric.

-No! No, no, no.

It's not every day you get
to buy

a famous film star
a pint of wallop.

-Well, here's mud in your eye.

-Cheers.

-Oh. It's pretty good.

-Eric, could you leave us
for a few moments, boy?

Only there's things I need
to discuss with Archie.

-'Course, yes.

-I think I know why
he came down here.

I think he wanted to meet you.

-Ah.
-I can't get over it.

You leaving here as a boy
and coming back as a man.

Good-looking man at that
and all.

-Well?

-Well, my health's not been
too good,

but my conscience is clear.

I know none of us know when,
you know, how long we got,

but when it comes, I shall go
with my head held high.

-Your conscious is clear
about what?

-I did it for you.

I didn't want her interfering,
Archie.

I thought she'd hold you back.

-What are you talking about?

-Well...

not to put too fine
a point on it...

It's your mother
I'm talking about.

-What about her?

-No nice way to say it, but...

she's still alive.

-W-What do you mean?

-I did it for you, boy.

You -- You know how she was
when we lost John.

-My mother is alive?

While -- while we're -- while
we're talking in this pub,

Mum is alive somewhere?

-Yeah, that's so.

-Where?

Where is she?

-She's in Fishponds Asylum.

I-I had to put her there.

-You told me she was dead.

You -- You told a little boy

that his mother was dead.

-I judged it was the best thing
to tell you at the time

in the state she was in.

She became a very difficult
person to live with.

She was giving me
all sorts of problems!

-You were meant to look
after her.

You were meant to protect her.

She's your wife.

She's your fucking wife!

-Aaah! Aah!
I did it for you, boy!

-Fucking evil!
-I did it for you!

-You told me she was dead!

-I did it for you, boy!

Whoa. Oh.

[ Moaning ]

Don't be too hard on me, boy.
I've only just got you back.

-You don't get me back.
You don't have a son.

-Welcome to our hospital,
Mr. Grant.

-Thank you.
-Please.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-She's never really caused us
any problems.

I asked around for years
whether she had any other family

than her husband,
given his inflexibility.

But I never got
to the bottom of it.

If only we'd known
who her son was.

I've seen lots of your films.

-Hello, Mother.

I mean, I know
I've grown a little.

Do you recognise me at all?

-It's your son, Mrs. Leach.

Remember he was coming
to see you today?

-My -- My son?

No, this -- this isn't my son.

No, where's Archie?
Where's my little Archie?
