Oh

Duke University.

I see.

And for Doris.

Of course, for Doris.

And Walker and myself?

He'll be provided for your son.

He's a drunkard and a wistrel.

I see that he'd be a master.

Because he's my son.

If you try to force him on me,

I'll throw you both out.

I can't, you know.

He'd be out that door any time I want.

You son of a bitch.

What are you doing here?

Daddy!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I really love you.

I'll never forget to.

I won't.

Careful.

Promise me.

You'll be so careful.

What?

I love you.

Daddy, you leave me.

Leave me.

You leave me.

You leave me.

I'm inside of Mr. Toothenate's fresh air.

Open all the windows and turn off the heat.

Make your part.

In the south, we believe a sick man needs fresh air.

Bring me a minute, first.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm inside of the city.

I'm inside of the city.

I'm inside of the city.

I'm inside of the city.

Your father's dead.

You're so careful.

You're so careful.

Daddy loves you.

You're so careful.

Daddy loves you.

You're so careful.

Daddy loves you.

I'm in the city.

Miss Duke's residence?

Oh, yes, Mr. Douglas.

Yes, sir.

One moment, sir, I'll tell her your colleague.

I'm sorry, Mr. Douglas, but Miss Duke is unable to come to the phone at this moment.

No, she's just fine, sir, and is grateful for your concern.

I will, sir.

Oh, and Mr. Douglas, I've always loved your films, sir.

Goodbye, sir.

There are going to be some changes around here.

From now on, whenever the phone rings, I'll answer it. Is that clear?

Yes.

And from now on, all decisions will be made by me,

and all actions on your part will be cleared through me.

Any questions?

I guess not.

Good.

I used to have a routine and I intend to resume it.

I always check the state manager's reports.

Every dollar spent, every penny.

Oh, September.

This is wrong.

No, it isn't, Mr. Duke.

Oh, give me my calendar.

Where have all the months gone?

Well, Miss Duke, in the past year you've had at least three strokes.

You only got back a week ago from the last one.

You're on about 15 different medications.

Even without the strokes, I wouldn't remember a thing.

But I have to remember.

What kind of decisions have I made?

Well, don't worry. If you've got anything to regret, someone will remind you.

Give me the phone.

Miss Duke, there is no phone.

Of course there's a phone. Where is it?

It's in the same place.

I took it out.

Why?

Because the ringing would disturb you.

Shouldn't you be resting?

No. I shouldn't.

I should be enjoying my garden.

I should be having lunch with my friends.

But since I'm stuck here, I want my phone back.

Whatever you say.

Hope or not, what's happening to me?

You expect too much of yourself.

I'm tired of taking pills.

You want to get better, don't you?

That's my girl.

How did that Mara?

Miss Duke read all these, you know. She was a genius with Orgids.

Is? I believe she's still with us.

It's just a matter of time. She uses strength every day.

Does she know how sick she is?

No. No. I prefer to keep it that way.

I'd like her to go.

I'd like her to go.

Easily.

Good morning, Mara. Dr. Colfield.

I wasn't aware we had an appointment, sir.

Miss Duke asked me to call him.

Bernard? Excuse me.

Why wasn't I informed?

Why should you be?

We'll talk about this later.

How's my favorite patient today?

Waiting for the new ball. Waiting for the new.

Miss Duke is not feeling quite yourself today.

That will be all, Bernard.

Miss.

Why don't you just get rid of him?

I've thought about it several times.

But with strange bedfellows,

I want to kill him sometimes.

But then he can be very attentive.

So what's this really all about?

I woke up at this morning and didn't know where I was.

I couldn't remember who I was.

It's not the first time.

I'm frightened.

A scared old eye.

Or it can't lose somewhere.

Not find my way back.

How is she, Doctor?

It's my opinion, Bernard, that Miss Duke is being overmedicated.

Did she tell you that?

Her diminished motor skills.

She's had at least three strokes.

Where do the medications come from, Bernard?

I don't know. She has several doctors.

I'm going to run some tests.

Is that a problem with you?

Why should it be?

Exactly.

Paul Colfield is a reputable doctor, Bernard.

It's reputable. No doubt.

But two weeks ago, just before she was discharged from the hospital,

Miss Duke talked to him about investing in one of his business deals.

I'd say that was a conflict of interest, wouldn't you?

I am, of course, deeply concerned that Miss Duke not be taken advantage of.

Of course.

Consequently, I have dismissed the reputable doctor.

You?

Yes, me.

I have medical power of attorney, and I'm going to be appointed executor of her will.

Has she indicated that to you?

It will happen.

And as such, I'll have control of the Duke Foundation.

I'll have the authority to appoint or discharge the trustees of that foundation.

I want the papers drawn up now, which Miss Duke will, of course, sign.

I would have to speak directly with Miss Duke.

At my request, you could become a trustee of the Duke Foundation.

I beg your pardon.

Apart from a retainer in such a matter, each trustee is entitled to a stipend of roughly 500,000 a year.

Half a million.

I'm sure the foundation could benefit from your participation as well.

I still have to speak to Miss Duke.

Of course.

You...what?

I dismissed him.

I don't believe Dr. Colfield was acting in your best interest, ma'am.

Who are you to make that decision?

Before you went to the hospital, you gave me medical power of attorney.

I remember that.

That's a thing.

That's exactly why I have power of attorney.

If I don't take care of you, who will?

Who else is there, Miss Duke?

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Mm.

Just listen to me, please.

I shall decide what's best for you.

For both of us, where we shall live, which houses we should sell.

And, Miss Duke, Doris is prepared to go to court.

What?

Oh, I like this.

Your daughter is prepared to take legal action against you.

She's ten years old. I'm her mother.

Excuse me.

I have an onion date.

You keep up the good work, kiddo.

Your daddy be proud of you.

Mother?

Mother?

Now, Doris, you know I love you.

No.

I don't know that at all.

Daddy loved Duke Farms, and I'm not selling it.

I will give you the right to live anywhere you wish,

but I will not allow you to sell anything.

I beg your pardon, young lady.

I'm quite aware, Mother, that I was an accident.

I know how much you wanted to walk or to inherit Teddy's estate.

I don't blame you for that.

But I will no longer be your accident.

I'm here to stay, and you can either accept that,

or I'll see you in court.

What is that?

Male, ma'am.

Who's male?

Yours, ma'am.

All for me?

All for you.

But it is not the kind of male you would be interested in.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

But it is not the kind of male you would be interested in reading.

I want to see them all.

Your father forbid me to...

Perhaps we shouldn't censor Doris's male.

Perhaps we should let her see the kind of people that are interested in her.

Please take them into the drawing room.

Are these people going to write to me?

What does it say, Doris?

He says that he'll kill me unless I give him a thousand dollars.

Doris?

I'd say that it will rip before my family goes.

Perhaps I should take them away?

No.

Let her see what the real world thinks of her.

Her father isn't here to protect her anymore.

Leave her alone.

Let her be.

The owner, James Buchanan Duke, has to protect her anymore.

Leave her alone.

Let her be.

This is the Duke mansion.

If you can't eat Duke, found it the American tobacco company.

Duke died two years ago, and now his daughter lives here with her father.

Doris is the richest little girl in the world.

It's 1936 with the depression behind us.

The streets of New York are awash with revelers as they celebrate the new year.

It's only moments now before the traditional dropping of the ball in Times Square.

While the party continues outside, Doris dukes, smiles for the cameras,

as the cred and de la creme of Manhattan Society rings in the new year.

Judging by the appreciative lenses of the young men beside her,

it won't be long before Doris feels the sting of Cupid's arrow.

Good luck, boys.

Excuse me.

Miss Duke, from my own personal rose garden over there at table number 12.

Thank you.

I'm James Cromwell, Miss Duke.

Oh, yes, I know you know.

Oh, really?

And just which part of me do you know?

I'm sorry.

Well, Missy, there's the devilishly handsome James, the athletic James,

the embarrassingly rich James.

Oh, you're rich, are you, James?

Well, my father is, but he's very old.

Now, which James would you like?

Miss James, would you like to show me?

May I have this dance?

I'd be delighted.

Don't be nervous.

Red is there.

It's got nothing on me.

You're really quite beautiful.

Why men always think they have to say that?

I thought women like to hear it.

Some women, I suppose.

My mother likes hearing it, but that's only because she has nothing else to offer.

I'm a far cry from my mother.

You're a far cry from most women I've ever met.

Think to mind telling me you're interested in politics.

Oh, so you've been talking about me?

Everybody talks about you, Jimmy.

Let's say you're quite ambitious.

I want to be more than just another trust fund, baby.

Most of them end up fat and drunk.

I want to accomplish something in my own light.

I think I know how to do it.

All it is.

Testing the waters is a chance I could run from Congress.

And then perhaps one day...

Oh, let me get...

But that's far into the future.

Right now I'm freezing to death, which could destroy all my future plans.

Oh, you have other plans?

At the moment.

I understand you're seeing quite a lot of James Cromwell.

We're becoming friends, yes?

Have you attracted to him?

What's this all about?

Your future.

My future is quite secure, thank you very much.

So is yours, my.

Oh, my dear, I should never see a man more than once.

What?

You must face the fact your world is filled with gold digging fortune hunters.

And you'll save yourself a great deal of heartache by simply keeping your distance.

I can assure you, Mr. Cromwell is not interested in my money.

He has quite enough of his own.

Oh, father raised you on fairy tales.

But my darling, even little princesses have to grow up.

Face reality.

And the reality is...

No man will ever look at you and see anything but your father's money.

The riches that girl in the world.

I've always known you resented me, mother.

But up until now I never realized you found me unlovable as well.

Get ready.

Don't hurt.

This is Cromwell, I believe.

Do you want me to only?

Yes, it's the princess.

Don't go away.

Yes, what is it?

Perhaps privately, sir.

What is it?

Sir, the check for your passage has been refused by the bank.

What did he say, Jimmy?

It's nothing, darling.

I'll take care of it the morning.

The bank informed us, sir. Your account was closed.

What is he talking about, dear?

It's just a little trouble at the bank, darling.

The captain, we used...

I said we'll take care of it in the morning.

My wife will write a check to cover all expenses, won't you, darling?

But, sir, Miss Duke will handle everything.

Very well, sir. Sorry to bother you.

Miss Duke.

Oh, darling. Jimmy.

What is going on?

We lost everything in the crash, darling.

Everything?

Well, we managed to hold on to the houses, but their mortgage started to be...

Their mortgage to the hilt.

So...

You married me to bail out your family?

Darling, this is our wedding night.

We'll talk about this in the morning.

What are you doing?

Getting down to business.

Business.

Hours are over, Jimmy.

Darling!

Go to hell.

That's it!

Smile, darling.

I'll leave that up to you, darling. You're a better actor than I am.

Now, Doris.

Fine, I'll save you.

Later.

Smile, darling.

America's royal couple, arriving in London on their round-the-world honeymoon,

are all smiles as they check in at London's swank subway hotel.

Received a copy of a bill this morning from my attorney's, Jimmy.

All having to do with the rather lavish party you're planning to announce your run for Congress.

Yes.

I wasn't aware I was paying for that.

Well, darling, we are husband and wife.

I thought surely you'd be...

We're hardly husband and wife, Jimmy.

Okay, we have a ceremony, but that's all we had.

Oh, by the way, your bedroom is right through there.

Now be a good boy, and take them.

Don't you go.

DOOR SLAMMING

Do you excuse me, Mommy?

Yes.

Excuse me.

Please.

Your husband and my ex-wife seem to be heading it off.

My husband hits it off frequently.

He usually prefers actresses.

Well, I imagine he'll get a terrific performance from her.

Alec Cunningham Reed.

Doris Duke.

I've heard of you.

I've heard of you.

Member of Parliament and a fortune hunter.

Guilty.

But I only got 100,000 of my last of all's.

No, so not a very effective fortune hunter.

No.

But at least I'm honest about it.

That's refreshing.

So much will he get?

What makes you think it's over?

Miss Duke.

Mrs. Cromwell.

Mrs. Cromwell.

Being English, I'm not our expert at maintaining

a pleasant facade in public.

I'm also expert at seeing it in others.

You two do not appear to be the heavy couple.

He calls me his frigidaris.

Are you?

I sincerely hope not.

MUSIC

I'll miss you,

I'll miss you,

I'll miss you,

I'll miss you,

I'll miss you,

I'll miss you,

I'll miss you.

Oh, your big heroes.

Who leaving tomorrow?

I'll miss you.

Who are you?

Of course.

Why wouldn't I?

Well, I am a married woman, Alec,

and you do have a certain reputation.

The religious are sham.

And as far as my reputation goes, it's greatly exaggerated.

You're too good for Indoras.

Don't sell yourself short.

Any man will be lucky to have you in his life.

I'd like to have you on mine.

Stay in London, Doris.

Stay with me.

I want to.

But I can't.

Why?

Because it would be the wrong thing to do.

For who? Me or you?

For both of us.

As much as I'd love to fall in love with you right now.

It's just not the right time.

But thank you for wanting me.

When we get back to New York, I've arranged several speaking engagements to launch my campaign.

First we go to the Waldorf.

I won't be with you.

What?

You stay in New York.

Make your speeches, launch your campaign, but I won't be at your side.

And it certainly won't have my money to pay for it.

Doris, thanks over, Jimmy.

Oh, by the way.

We'll have separate state rooms on the way back.

Oh, but don't worry.

Yours is already paid for.

Will somebody get that?

Have I to do everything around here?

We thought you were the only one to answer the phone, Mr. Laffordy.

Who is it?

It's the New York Post.

They want to talk to Miss Duke.

What do I tell them?

I'll talk to them.

And close the door on your way out.

This is Mr. Laffordy, Miss Duke's assistant.

May I help you?

That's an absurd rumor, I assure you.

At this very moment, Miss Duke is enjoying an afternoon tea in her garden with her friends.

No, I'm sorry she cannot be disturbed.

Miss Duke is in perfect health, I assure you.

I don't care what you've heard, sir.

But then print whatever you wish, you will anyway.

Good day.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What did you buy me, Bernard?

Miss Duke?

Why, what a guilty look.

I'm just surprised.

How did you... what are you doing down here?

This is my house.

Bernard, of course.

So, it's good to see you up and about.

Well, I don't know how up and about I am.

Tell me, what did you buy me?

Or should I say, what did I buy you?

Let me see.

Well, I... I always like to be on time now.

Mm.

Oh, very nice.

Not my taste, but certainly yours.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll see to your lunch.

How long have you been with me?

Six and a half years now.

You used to sit outside my door, remember?

Yes, ma'am.

Sit and sit.

Hours sometimes.

Until I'd finished my dinner, I would ring and you would come and take it away.

Then after a while, I didn't have to ring.

You always knew when I was finished.

You always knew everything I'd want or need.

That's why you paid me.

I've paid a lot of butlers.

I'll see to your lunch.

And then I'll help you upstairs. You don't want to tire yourself.

And when your strength is back, we'll go to the house in Hawaii.

You do so love it there.

Yes, yes, I'd like that.

Ow!

You stung?

Oh, this way, I'm right into them.

It's that time of the season.

It's not going to help.

You notice?

There's no one else in the water.

Now I do.

That's usually a sign.

Jellyfish!

A shark!

Well, I'll take the jellyfish, thank you.

Yeah.

Please.

What is that?

Native remedy.

Feeling better.

Much. Thank you.

You know, I think I got stung on the other leg too.

Thank you.

You know, I think I got stung on the other leg too.

Well, better safe than sorry.

It wouldn't want you to be sorry, would it?

Not too safe, but I don't matter.

I'd about do it.

Almost.

I guess I should introduce myself, then,

I'm going to take a look at the other leg.

I'm going to take a look at the other leg.

I guess I should introduce myself, then,

draw this, Doris, too.

You've got a mochu.

You too.

Oh, my God.

You're my hero.

The Olympics, you should have won four gold medals.

Well, I'll settle for just being your hero.

So why did you come to Hawaii?

Oh, the beauty, sense of peace.

Living close to nature.

And yet to build walls to keep it out.

No, right.

Build walls for security.

Ah, I see.

Do you feel safe?

With me alone here?

Yes, of course I do.

I feel safe because you think you're safe.

Our thoughts become our reality.

We create the happiness of our own heaven,

or the misery of our own health.

Now you don't understand.

There are people who want to take advantage.

Sometimes events occur over which we have no control.

Well, you had to have been taught that.

But if the teacher was wrong...

No.

My father was never wrong.

Well, it's your life.

You want to build walls?

Go ahead.

But maybe it's not such a good idea to build a wall around your heart.

Sn�

The president's growing and the war in Europe will expand.

President Roosevelt today announced plans for a summit meeting between the two heads

of day.

What?

But it's not his baby.

You have to understand Mr. Gid doesn't matter.

In the eyes of the law, he's still your husband.

In the eyes of the law, custody will still be his.

Then I'll divorce him.

That's certainly an option, but I have to tell you, Mr. Cromwell can claim that the

child is his and as such, he will participate in the child's inheritance.

But if you claim that the child is not his, Mr. Cromwell will sue you for defamation of

character and ruination of his political career.

He has no career.

Your husband will, however, agree to a divorce settlement of $7 million.

I'll give him $1 million.

That's it.

Take care of it.

Well, I've got one hope.

The baby looks like you.

You won't barely claim to it then.

Doris, I've seen the world.

I saw many places when I swam in the Olympics.

I chose to come back here.

In Hawaii, no one cares about the color of his skin.

No one cares about what a man and a woman do together.

But that is not true in the big world.

In the big world, you're famous.

In that world, if you were to have my baby, it could be dangerous.

I don't care.

Two weeks ago, a man named Jesse Dorn was lynched by a mob in Grinchar, Kentucky.

Two days before that, a man named Albert Williams was lynched in Brownsville, Tennessee.

They were both black men.

They looked like me.

All they did, maybe, was admire a white woman.

And now the kind of people who killed them are going to know that I've had sex

with the richest white woman in the world.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I really, I really do love you, you know.

You're the only man who's never wanted something from me.

I have everything I want.

Please forgive me.

For what?

Don't!

Don't!

Don't!

Don't!

Don't! Don't fight him!

Don't fight him!

Don't!

Don't!

Oh, God.

She's only three pounds.

I've already named her.

Arden.

Arden's a beautiful name.

It means a mythical place of refuge.

Excuse me.

I'm very sorry.

I'm so very sorry.

I'm so sorry.

God.

God.

God.

God.

God.

Come on, little lady.

Hello, Joseph. Where is she?

Hello, Mother.

How are you?

All right. I'm always all right.

Why is it so cold in here?

We're rationing. There's a war going on. I hadn't.

You notice. It doesn't mean you have to freeze to death.

I haven't seen that coat since the day Daddy died.

What is it you want, Doris?

I heard about Walker's death.

I wanted to say how sorry I am.

No need.

No.

Need.

Well, how could you say that? He was your son.

He was a drunk. He died a drunk. I expected it.

Oh, I don't believe what I'm hearing.

No one asked you to listen.

Mother, I came here today because I thought we could help each other.

Help.

Help each other.

Yes.

I lost my daughter.

And not a day goes by that I don't grieve for her.

I miss her.

And when I heard about Walker, I thought that maybe just this once you and I could sit

and they don't need your pitted, Doris.

Oh, that's not what I'm saying.

If you have any idea what it's like to be a tenant in your own tenant.

You have all the rights and privileges.

You have to be granted to me. Is that what you're going to say?

If I don't do it in the eyes because I know what I see.

Oh, and what do you see?

A daughter who's always felt the wrong parent has died.

Daddy was the only one who ever loved me. You never did.

Never could.

When you look at me, Doris, what do you see?

Someone who's cold, indifferent, unloving.

I'll tell you what you see yourself. No.

You think you're your father's daughter, but you're not. You're mine.

Whatever I am, you'll become it. No, no, that's not true.

Look in the mirror, darling. You'll see me looking back at you.

I'm not going to end up like her, Clark.

Now, I don't care how I get there. It doesn't have to be on the Queen Mary.

I'll take a tramp steamer if I have to, but I'm going to get to Europe.

There's no transportation available of any kind. There's no boats, no planes, nothing.

Well, then we'll have the yacht brought over from Hawaii through the Panama Canal.

It's over 60 feet long. It can easily make an Atlantic crossing.

They've repositioned your yacht. Everything is going into the war effort.

Now, if you want to help, why don't you work with the USO?

It's a war belt. No, no, it's not enough.

Look at me. Look at me.

Now, what do you see?

Doris, I am your lawyer. It's not my job.

Oh, forget about your damn job.

Clark, I have been given more than any human being deserves. I was born to it.

But if I can't do something with that life, if I can make a difference somehow, then what am I?

What the hell is my life worth? Now, they need volunteers in London, Clark.

It's something I can do. It's something I have to do. Now, you just get me there. Please.

The future deserves to be commended. Right now, London is little more than a hospital.

The desperately needs your help.

Although you're not nurses or members of the armed forces, you each offer a valuable and needed service.

Some of these boys have lost an arm or legs. Some are blind. Some are dying.

You'll be the link between them and home.

Some of you volunteered out of a sense of duty, others out of compassion.

Some for reasons known only to yourselves.

All I can tell you is no matter what you imagine this would be like.

You're in for a shock.

Everyone in London seems to carry the scars of this war. Some scars are more visible than others.

Some are deep in the soul. I've seen those scars in the eyes of the American boys brought back from the front lines.

There are scars no surgery can heal. No bandage could cover.

We keep thinking about.

Dad, remember when the grass burnt down?

We were right. It was me. Sorry.

We always knew anyway.

The fathers who liked that?

Yeah.

Tell them.

Tell them thanks.

Tell them they did a great job.

Tell them. I love them.

Anything else?

Jason?

I love you.

Steve, let's write a little trippy. It was wonderful.

A boy died today. Death had surrounded him for months. It had followed him, tracked him, waited patiently for him like an obsessed hunter.

But this is Jason's story, and I'll give death no part of it. This is about life. Jason's life.

His last words were to tell his parents they did a good job.

The story of the

American boys

The story of the

American boys

The story of the

American boys

The story of the

American boys

The story of the

American boys

Then where is it?

Where is what, Miss Duke?

Bernard?

Bernard?

What's the problem?

The picture.

Jason and Ernie and all the boys.

She thinks I've done something with it.

And have you?

No, of course not.

Where is it?

It's always been there by my bed. Always.

Calm down to us.

Miss Duke, thank you.

Miss Peyett, have you seen the picture?

No, I haven't.

There you are, Miss Duke. Miss Peyett knows nothing of the disappearance.

You can fluff those pillows later.

She's told it.

Why, would anyone want to steal an old picture of a bunch of soldiers?

She's trying to hurt me.

You're all trying to hurt me.

Oh, that's it, of course.

We moved a hospital bed in here to hurt you.

We've waited on you hand and foot to hurt you.

We put up with your ramblings, your insult, your paranoia.

We put up with all of it just to hurt you.

Then where is it?

Well, many things had to be moved when you returned from the hospital.

Room had to be made for the bed and equipment and medications.

I'm sure it's someplace and I'll find it.

You will?

Of course.

No.

It's time for you to take your vitamins.

Do I have to?

Yes, you have to.

That's my girl.

Make sure she takes your vitamins every four hours.

Yes, sir.

And if I catch you taking anything else from her room,

I'll have you dismissed and brought up on charges. Is that clear?

Perfectly.

And get her dressed.

I have a gentleman.

Please come in very well. Thank you.

It's you, Bernard.

Yes.

Please come in.

Make yourself that home.

Very much.

Help yourself to coffee if you like. Please sit down.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mr. Coffee if you like. Please sit down.

Thank you.

Miss Duke will be with you shortly.

We have company.

Oh.

And you're going to be a very good girl.

Oh, yeah.

We're going to sign something, Doris.

We are.

What?

Your new will, remember?

No.

Of course you do.

We settled it all last night.

All you have to do is sign your name and everything is going to be fine again.

Just sign my name.

Right where the gentleman tell you.

And remember, we talked about this last night.

If you say so.

I say so.

Now let's go.

Here we are, gentleman.

Good morning, Miss Duke.

It's a pleasure to see you.

We want you to know, Miss Duke, how pleased you are that you placed your trust in us.

All of this will be notarized by Mr. Kaplan here.

And this refers to Mr. Lafferty being named as executor of your estate.

Please sign here.

Yes, of course.

Just here.

Just here.

Yes.

And here.

Who are these people?

Surely you remember.

I'm not saying I don't remember.

I'm asking who are these people.

I'm not saying I don't remember.

I'm not saying I don't remember.

I'm asking who are they?

These are the names of the trustees of your foundation.

Yes, yes, of course.

I want to be fed to the show.

What?

It's the national order of things.

Don't bury me in the ground where I'll be of no use.

You're not saying no pre-mission.

Don't bury me in the sea.

Is that clear?

Yes, ma'am.

I can't sign anymore.

Good.

Finished.

Thank you, gentlemen.

That will be all.

Please show Mr. Kaplan to the door.

Miss Duke.

Good day.

Peter.

Take her back to her room.

Back, we won't miss Duke.

Easy, Captain.

I can be told to tell you.

Yes, George.

Well, it's worth listening to the wonderful folks.

Yes, sir, you'll guess.

Miss Duke.

Miss Duke, can you hear me?

We just have a minute before Tammy gets back.

Please, listen to me.

I don't think you should take any more of these pills.

They're not helping you, Miss Duke.

They're hurting you.

Uh-huh.

I could get into a lot of trouble for telling you this.

Do you understand?

Don't let them give you any more pills.

Everything...

Everything will be all right.

Right, you.

This television via lowered

and sting.

Feel that nervous?

No.

Up here.

Please help.

Help.

Help.

Come on.

No.

No.

What?

What?

No.

No.

Oh.

No.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Somebody help.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, get me.

Oh, get me.

Get me out of here.

Get me that I miss.

She wants to go to the hospital.

We should call her doctor first.

Tell me what it will be.

If Miss Duke wishes to go to the hospital,

then we take her to the hospital.

But let's get her to bed first.

I can handle her, sir.

Obviously not.

Don't touch me.

Wait outside and close the door.

You said she would take me to the hospital.

There's no need to go to the hospital.

There's nothing they can do for you.

I don't believe you.

Does it matter?

I do not.

Going to die.

I don't know what you're talking about, Doris.

Don't call me a daras.

A daras.

Lothor.

My scientist did not.

Oh, yes.

You made me executor and controller of your estate.

Thank you, Miss Duke.

Why would I have to do that for a very practical reason?

There's no one else left in your life.

Just you.

Yes.

Yes.

That will be no more disturbances.

Is that clear?

I can't control that, Mr. Lafferty.

I'm not God.

You are.

Please come in, doctor.

Follow me, please.

It's the doctor.

Lawyer 2.

Just the doctor.

Where are you going?

I've been told to take the rest of the day off.

Why is that?

I'm sure I don't know, but I'll tell you this.

First case, I have seen medical decisions made by a butler.

She's been in a great deal of pain since her fall, doctor.

See?

Are you in any pain, Miss Duke?

Yeah.

There should be no more discomfort now.

I'll tell you this.

Peter.

You two pick up an overnight case for Miss Duke and Louie Vuitton and Redeo Drive.

Mr. Lafferty?

You'll be whatever I tell you to be.

And that's of course you wish to be terminated.

Why would Miss Duke need an overnight bag?

Is she going to the hospital?

It's not for traveling, Peter. It's for her ashes.

What are you doing?

God, I thought you were burn hard.

Myra, what are you doing?

He's been shredding paper.

Yeah, I know.

Why?

They're legal documents.

Sure.

They're legal documents.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

They're legal documents.

I'm trying to save what I can.

Do you know what he'll do to you if he catches you?

Do you honestly think Miss Duke would name Bernard as her executor?

He's going to get $5 million and another 500,000 a year to run the foundations.

I don't know what to do.

Maybe call the police.

And tell them what.

That an old woman's dying, but she's under doctor's care.

Bernard is killing her. And we both know it.
