Gentlemen.

Hugo?

The Queen.

The Queen.

Nice to see you back, Lord.

Thank you, Waldo.

Very nice to be back.

I take full credit for that, Waldo.

He's my guest, aren't you, Hugo?

Oh, indeed, Jamie.

He used to leave whiskey for me in my tooth mug

when we were at school.

I think it was because he had a thing for my sister.

Oh, Jamie.

Hard to imagine you in the city.

What exactly do you do there, Hugo?

What's the best buy now?

I'm not a stockbroker, Alec.

I, um, I'm more of an adviser to Peter here, really.

Come on, you can give us a hint.

No, I can't.

Of course, it's damned hard to maintain

the lifestyle of the regiment once you left it.

Who pays the bills?

I do.

Peter does, of course.

He says it's worth it for the uh, the letter heading.

He says the title looks awfully good on the stationery.

You were never in the Army, were you, Peter?

None of the services?

In none of the services, no.

I went straight into the city.

We're, uh, we're about to go into South America,

aren't we, Peter?

We were in the Falklands.

You missed something there, Hugo.

Yes.

Hello, is that Mandy?

Mm-hmm.

Has Lady Bruckton arrived yet?

Oh, I see.

Um-hum.

Did she say what time she'd return?

Jamie?

Are you on duty tonight?

Yes, won't be long.

Mind if I come along?

Evening.

Here we go.

Let me drive, Jamie.

I ought to, really.

Oh, don't be prat, Jamie.

It's Hugo.

Let him drive!

Look after her.

Oh, wait a minute.

Hold on, chaps.

Hold on-

Say, Hugo, you are coming to my stag night, aren't you?

I'm best man.

Oh, God help us.

I don't suppose Alec's wife is going to be much of a threat.

Got her well trained already?

Rather, eh?

And how's your wife, Hugo?

Delectable Lady Bruckton, hm?

I gather she's teamed up with Raul Vargas.

You see, Hugo, I'd have thought you'd have been the one

to handle her business affairs.

Under the circumstances.

Come on, Jack, leave him alone.

Hugo, watch out!

OK.

Is she all right?

Come on, up you get.

Come on.

Are you OK?

Get her over there.

No, I don't think she should be moved.

She should go over there.

That's not the right thing to do.

Call an ambulance.

She's dead.

We've got to get the police.

There's nothing we can do.

Get an ambulance! All right, quiet down!

What do you mean quiet down!

We can't just leave her here!

Get the police!

For fuck's sake, get him back in the car.

I said she's dead.

Jesus Christ!

Get the fucking police!

Get back in the car!

What are you doing!

In the car!

Shut up!

For Christ's sake!

Hugo, move over!

Hugo, we've got to tell someone.

What does she look like?

She's dead!

She isn't anybody.

Christ.

How can we just drive on?

What are we doing? God!

There's nothing we can do!

For God's sake!

We're in uniform, for Christ's sake!

This hasn't happened.

Do you understand?

Hi, it's me.

I'm still at the party.

It's getting really late.

Look, I'll try and get back if I can.

If I don't, please don't worry.

I'll probably stay at Cordelia's.

Otherwise, I'll see you down at crew.

Love you.

Shh!

Yes, thanks.

I'll get back to you.

This one.

Reminds me of you.

Thank you so much.

My memory of you, anyway.

Can you hold those there?

Thank you.

Yeah, those are good.

Can you find me a copy on those two, please?

Hi, mom.

Hello.

Oh!

Goodness, what a sight for sore eyes.

How do you like mommy's new office?

Are you going to drive us down to the country?

Oh, Ed, I'm sorry.

I thought I told you I can't.

But it's the first day at the holes.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Your mom is very busy these days.

Hugo?

Hugo?

Don't worry.

Why don't I drive you down?

Exeter?

Why am I being roped off?

We are open to the public tomorrow, my Ladyship says.

Oh.

They're here already?

No, it's Master Edward.

Teddy? Oh.

Well, this is something.

This is indeed something.

Teddy!

Hi, grandad.

Hi.

Hello, darling.

Hello, darling.

What have you done to your forehead?

You all right?

Hello, Peter.

I hitched a ride with Raul.

I'm going on to the Babberton's, so it's

no problem. Ah, good.

Come and have a drink.

You uh, you know each other, of course.

Thanks, but I won't.

I heard all about you.

Still playing the polo?

Anyway, better go.

I'll ring you over the weekend.

And do your homework.

Bloody Argies.

Still, they do breed good polo ponies, don't they, Hugo?

I'll take our luggage in.

Bad for you, old boy.

I don't want to!

Put me down. Yes, you do.

Don't let him watch TV for too long, Benny.

Oh, why on earth not?

Night, night, night.

Good night, sir.

Good night, Edward.

Sleep tight.

Hello, darling.

Whew!

You never told me it was like this.

God, you've got lousy selection, Jamie.

A telephone call for you.

Thank you, Mr. X.

Wonderful figure, that girl.

Absolutely miraculous figure.

I hear Virginia is becoming a formidable business

woman, Hugo.

I do hope we won't prove too dull for her.

What on earth can be making that noise?

Ah, Jamie Skinner.

Oh, yes, of course.

Rebecca's invited him down for the weekend.

Poor old Jamie.

Shouldn't you get that fixed, Jamie?

Hi, everybody.

Hello, darling.

You can use our garage if you like.

Telephone tomorrow.

Thanks.

It sounded like an old Hook's clock coming to get you.

Peter Pan.

Hm?

Old Hook's clock.

And he loves his little Jaguar.

Um, sorry.

I was looking for Hugo.

He's not here, I'm afraid.

I'm just doing the uniform.

Excuse me.

I had such a good time last night.

Oh, really?

I really wish you'd been there.

I'm so pleased with that office.

I really think it's going to work, you know?

I thought you said it was all going to be over by 10:00.

I telephoned.

We went onto dinner afterwards.

I drank far too much.

Was Raul there, at dinner?

You left quite early.

Oh.

Ginny.

Do you know what it's like for me to love you?

Do you have any idea?

Hm?

Well, here's to lots and lots of tourists

and to lots and lots of money for us.

Do be quiet, Rebecca.

The council have this idea to buy

the lower section of Down Park.

Do they, indeed?

What for?

A leisure center, I think.

It seems to meI hope you don't mind?

Please.

Well, there may be advantages.

If the council wants something from you,

well, it might help in further plans that you have.

What plans, Peter?

Who's that fellow talking to my wife?

Peter.

Peter.

Does no one have a surname nowadays?

Peter Eggleton.

Rebecca, darling, you are doing the dress show,

aren't you?

God.

I don't want to walk up and down modeling silly clothes.

Who cares about their clothes, anyway?

Who wants to be a clothes horse?

I'm sure if you ask them nicely,

they'll let you model the long dresses.

Ginny, my legs are bloody good.

It's easy to tell when you started on the catwalk.

Got to start somewhere.

No, my dear.

Not all of us.

There is a story that a young

Countess of Crewne threw off all her

clothes except her shoes and stockings

and danced naked on the table.

Not something that any of us would wish to see

repeated now, of course.

Different mansionentirely when you inherit.

But then I wouldn't be here to see that, would I?

Worse luck.

Couldn't we just sleep together?

You'd better not be here in the morning.

What is it, Jamie?

What?

Worrying you?

Nothing.

What are you doing, Jamie?

Um, nothing.

Just to the loo, you know.

I thought gentlemen went downstairs.

Downstairs?

In my family, gentlemen always go to the lavatory downstairs.

Of course.

I knew some Skinners in Cheshire.

Um, cousins, I think.

They're quite distant.

Oh.

Hugo tells me you were quite a scholar at school.

Doesn't that mean you're supposed to be awfully clever?

No, it wasn't that sort of a scholarship.

It was more a sort of a bursary for, um, sons of old boys

if they found the fees rather right.

I see.

Goodnight, Jamie.

Goodnight, Lady Crewne.

Yeah, well, I said that.

Uh-huh.

I've given up on the little man

from the Coal Board compensation,

but Peter says he knows the minister.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, yeah.

Uh-huh, OK.

I'll see.

I'll speak to you soon.

Bye bye.

So who was that, then?

Cordelia inviting us to supper.

Oh.

They won't like me so they won't want to come.

Of course they'll like you.

Of course they'll like you.

Do you like it when I tickle you?

Yeah.

Do you?

I'll miss it at boarding school.

I'm sure you'll find someone to tickle you.

But it won't be the same as yours.

No, is it a special tickle?

Is it a special tickle?

Yours is.

I'll miss tickling you.

Jamie went away toschool, didn't you, Jamie?

What's that?

School.

Yeah.

What's it like?

It's fine. Tell you what.

Teaches you do to make a go of things, you know?

Get on with people, not make a fuss.

Where's Peter?

With mummy creeping.

Oh, Hugo, um, Raul rang, and I invited him to lunch.

Hugo!

Hello, Jamie.

It's in the papers.

I've been through them all.

She was alive for 17 hours.

Peter said she was dead.

Jamie, I didn't mean to kill her.

Look, I know you didn't intend to do it,

but I really think we should come forward.

Come clean.

It's too late, Jamie.

Too late.

You can't be blamed for blacking out.

No one can blame you for that, and you mustn't blame yourself.

But I don't blame myself, Jamie.

Uh!

What do you want?

Hi, darling.

Are you all right?

Um-hum.

OK?

You look so in love.

How long have you been there?

He told me, of course, about your first meeting.

Did he?

Winter collection meets the chaka on ice.

A perfect coupling.

Look, Peter, I've got a lot of work to do, if you don't mind.

I came to say goodbye.

Oh, you're going?

Yes, I've got to get back to London.

Exeter is driving me to the station.

So you'll have the car to yourselves.

Good luck with the homework.

Hugo?

Hugo?

Peter's leaving!

Hugo?

Hugo?

Perhaps we ought to move the public lavatories over

to the west wall.

They seem to need to go such a lot.

Well, perhaps weought to charge them for it

if there's such a demand.

I'm, uh, sorry about this, Raul.

We, uhwe're open to the public

so we have to eat down here.

: I hearyou've been up to no good.

Who says?

Cook says.

How many cigaretteshave you had today?

Don't change the subject.

You know, I think he's bloody unfair.

Hugo's going to inherit the lot, and all

I get is some rotten little cottage on the estate.

Rebecca, darling, we're giving you a lovely party

for your birthday.

Just because he's got a prick.

Rebecca!

Just because you've got a-

Shut up, Rebecca!

Make me, huggles, darling.

Go on, shut me up, like you used to.

Where are the others, Edward?

Where's mummy?

They went over to the orangery.

Were you with them?

Yes, but they wanted a talk, you know.

Oh.

Good boy.

Let him look if he wants to.

I've, uh, got to go back tomorrow.

There's a sword drill in the evening.

Practice for the Queen's parade.

Uh-huh.

Do you think Edward looks like me, Jamie?

Not especially.

You don't think we're spoiling him, perhaps?

No.

Good.

Short.

Hugo?

Yes, Jamie?

About the other night.

Oh, by the way, I meant to say it

was very good of you to have, um, to have Peter along.

Most interesting for him.

Thank you so much.

That's all right.

Look, I don't know what it is that's making

you behave like this, but-

Mind if we watch?

Of course.

OK, well, I'll see you at lunch.

All right? Yes, sir.

Sergeant Major!

Smoking, Jack?

No, thanks.

It's bugger it had to be the Castlemere's cook.

They'd only had her a year.

Hm.

Did you, uh, ever have her cheese souffle?

No, can't say that I did.

Well, you won't now, will you?

No.

We ought to make a donation or something.

You'll do nothing of the sort.

Anonymously.

Nothing.

No contact of any kind beyond us five.

We agreed.

Coming Thursday?

Got something pretty tasty lined up.

Any better now?

No.

I'm afraid that's the best I can do for you.

All right.

Bugger all.

I hope you're not going to paint in the bruise.

It's, um, it's changing color all the time.

Edward!

Edward!

How many bloody times have I told you

not to do that in the house!

Bye, Ed.

God, I'm going to miss him.

Off you come.

Oh, uh, by the way, about the boy's prep school.

Christ.

We have to talk about it, you know.

Why?

I thought it had already been decided.

Before he was born, before we even knew what sex he was.

Look, he's got a place there, hasn't he?

Let's just hope someone drops a bomb on it before September.

Darling, how do you expect that you're

going to launch this magazine if Edward isn't going

to be sent away to school?

That's not fair.

I don't see why I can't work and have my son with me.

You know what your problem is?

No, what?

You want everything.

Yes.

Bitch.

What the fuck was that for?

What is the matter with you?

Are you going to talk to me?

It's my work.

I don't even know what your bloody work is.

Well, I'll tell you.

I'd love to tell you.

I don't want to know.

Ginny?

You must be-

What?

You must be totally bloody insensitive.

Me?

Why?

Yes, to begin working with thatwith him.

No. Under the circumstances.

What circumstances!

How do I knowhow do I know that you haven't been

seeing him all the time?

How do I know that?

Look, I am not having an affair with Raul.

Why do you allow yourself to be so threatened by him?

I chose you.

PeterPeter could have helped.

Peter.

Look, I never meant to hurt you by this.

You always said that I gave you everything.

You do.

You do love me, don't you?

You do?

Show me.

What's happening to you?

What's happening to you?

Jamie?

Jamie Skinner?

Ah, I thought it was you.

I didn't know you lived here.

I'm just up the way.

You must come for a drink sometime.

Morning, Ken. Good morning, Lord.

How are you?

Very well, thank you.

Gerrold.

Hello, sir.

Hello, Cord.

This young man, Luke, needs a haircut.

He's off to his new schoolin a few weeks, so-

Jolly good.

Don't spare the clippers.

Right.

So how do you do to Mr. Luke, Edward.

How do you do, Mr. Luck?

How do you do, sir?

Would you like something on his hair, my Lord?

Yes, why not?

Nothing to sticky, though.

Very good, sir.

It was right outside Raul Vargas's house.

Oh, really?

Did you think it was Ginny?

Did you think it was Ginny?

Did you?

Did you!

Piss off.

Edward?

Edward?

What you got there?

Look.

She's caught a mole.

What is it?

Oh, it's a mole.

Somebody's caught a mole.

Hello.

It's a lovely dog.

Lovely dog, aren't you?

What we're looking at here

is a 20% yield minimum for that.

Guaranteed.

Most of the heavy plant here will be Herman,

and we're considering the possibility of using

cane sugar by products.

Um-hum.

And there's a ready-made road.

What, all the way from there? Yeah.

I don't believe this.

Glad you made it out, eh?

So, so, here's- here's go you, Joe.

Joe, um, DiMaggio.

Dimandino.

Uh, DiMaggio played ball.

Oh, really?

So will you, Joe.

So will you.

You stupid bastard, Hugo.

Why do I always have to cover up for you?

Listen to me.

From now on, you do exactly what I say.

Has that sunk in here? Hey?

Oh!

Ah, yes!

Ah!

I'm very sick.

Rebecca?

You know that accident?

Hm?

On Chesham Street?

Everybody's calling it the wheels on meals.

Christ. What is wrong with you?

Look-

It wasn't an accident.

It was in this car.

I think Hugo was trying to hit Ginny.

You're mad.

He was driving.

You're crazy.

I was in the car.

You've got the wrong person.

No, I don't see any problem at all.

But, um, I'll get back to you on it, all right?

Is he in?

Hugo, yes.

Thank you.

Hi, darling.

I've been thinking about you.

Right, bye.

I wanted to talk to you.

Are you OK?

Can I take you to lunch?

Have you got time?

I always have time for you, my darling.

Do you?

I love you.

Just taking Hugo to lunch.

I'm sorry.

That's, um, impossible.

Hugo and I have got to go over tonight's strategy.

Peter, I thought you said we were

going to do that this evening?

I know, but I've had to reschedule.

I really am sorry.

Uh, game for you.

Apparently, it's urgent.

You ought to tell him to piss off.

Why don't you-

What?

Hello, John.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Madge Castlemay!

This horrid business.

You know, this rumor about Hugo.

God knows how it got started.

Of course, it's quite ludicrous.

Of course it is.

Jamie, I wasn't even there that night.

I know, but couldn't he have thought it was you?

Jesus Christ, what are you saying?

This is nonsense.

Good evening, sir.

The accident happened late at night a few weeks ago.

But the woman was taken to hospital.

The incident took place outside the home of Mr. Vargas.

I believe you know him, sir.

Former business associate of yours.

Yes, I know Mr. Vargas very well,

but, uh, I fail to see what that has to do with me.

Quite.

You've heard the rumor linking your name with the event?

Yes, it's ridiculous.

Yes, sir.

But where were you that night?

Well, as a matter of fact, I

was having dinner with some of friends from my old regiment.

Hello,darling.

Gentlemen.

Lady Bruckton.

Forgive the appalling venue and the wine list.

The Turf And White's would have seemed a little conspicuous,

so I chose Soho.

Oh, come on, Peter.

It's obvious why we're here.

Someone's let the cat out of the bag,

and it has to be one of us, doesn't it?

Someone here has talked.

And we all swore not to.

Has anyone here said anything to anyone about this?

Yes. What!

Yes.

You? I said yes.

Oh, Jamie!

I'm sorry, Hugo.

I really am.

Well, go on!

What do you mean, go on?

Who did you tell?

You broke your word.

I suppose you've told everybody!

No.

Who?

I want tell you.

You bloody well will.

No.

God, you little hypocrite!

Talk about double standards.

Little shit.

Have you been sending me blackmail notes, Jamie?

No.

Not very clever of you, was it?

Considering you look like the guilty party.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

No!

No!

Bitch.

Oh, you bitch.

You bloody bitch!

I'm sorry, Hugo!

I'm sorry!

I didn't mean to do it!

Bitch.

It was a joke.

It was just a joke.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Do you know where moles have their ears?

No.

Under their armpits.

It's true.

John told me.

I don't know how John knows, though.

Anyway, how many have you had today, grandpa?

What?

Cigarettes.

Oh.

Five.

Let me see the packet.

How many were in the packet?

20.

Oh, by the way, how is the, uh, the new girl?

Jenny?

She's fine.

Edward seems to like her.

Good.

Good.

You going out tonight?

No.

Why do you ask?

Wewe could have dinner out if you like?

No, II just thought that if you wanted to go out, I was

going to have an early night.

Oh.

I see.

Well, in that case, I think I'll stay at the club.

"'I can't stand it.

I just can't stand it,' said the little boy as he was taken

to see the lions in their cage.

'I bet they'd be more happy at home. "

Every time he went to the zoo, he

did his best to talk them out of it,

but they only laughed at him. "

Right, sleepytime.

Toby?

Toby, where are you?

Toby?

Basket.

Go on, bed.

Hello?

Hello, darling.

No, he's out.

Listen, Cordelia, I'm downstairs.

Let me pick up in the bedroom, OK?

Captain J. Skinner.

Yes, he was duty officer that evening.

Now can you tell me what this is all about?

Would his car be kept here, sir?

His car?

Captain Skinner is a first rate career soldier.

Actually, he's a fine officer.

I'm sure that in this case there's a perfectly

straightforward explanation.

Well, I can't believe he's your man.

The car?

Shall we look at the car, sir?

It clearly wasn't Hugo who was responsible.

I spoke to Peter about it, and he tells me the rumor

was started by Jamie Skinner.

Well, I never did have any confidence in him.

There's nothing worse than being disloyal to-

Peter told you that that?

That is ridiculous.

But that's not the point!

The point is we must all do our very best for Hugo

so that no one can be in the slightest doubt.

Edward loves coming here, doesn't he?

Edward?

Yes.

It's so good for him to get out of London.

Yes, it is.

You gave everyone such pleasure when he was born.

Oh, good.

Of course, I was always a great support of yours.

It's so important when there are children involved.

It would be quite terrible- unthinkablefor Edward

if anything should happen to Hugo.

Yes, so nice to chat with you like this.

I'd been meaning to, you know, for some time.

I want you to feel that you really

are a part of this family.

Yeah?

It's me.

Jamie,for God's sake, it's only 7:00.

I've got to come in.

Rebecca?

Please, I need to come in.

I've got to have somewhere to stay.

The police are after me.

Oh,that's your own fault.

You shouldn't have gone to them in the first place.

I didn't!

Good evening, sir.

Mr. And Mrs. Horsley Stevens.

Good evening, Sir Brian.

Sir Brian and Lady Castlemere.

Colonol and Mrs. Smythe Jones.

Hello.

Don't I get a birthday kiss?

Mr. Richard Lindley and Lady Elizabeth f

Happy Birthday.

Are you coming to the disco later?

It's in the stables.

We've called it the eighth house.

You know, sex and death.

Don't worry, I'll show you.

Brigadeer and Mrs. Ethelridge.

Mr. David Steven and the Honorable Miss Natasha

Grenforth.

Captain and Mrs. -

What an evening.

It's absolutely enchanting.

Oh, thank you.

Good evening, sir.

I'm shaking too many damn hands.

Above all, knickers.

Hugo!

Hello, Alec.

Ginny, darling.

Hello, Alec.

Dance?

Oh, come on.

Save a dance for me, Ed.

Got you!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

You're excused.

Excuse me.

Good evening, Hugo.

Good evening, Lady Castlemere.

Brian, how are you?

You're looking well. You, too.

Thank you.

May I have my wife back, please.

Of course.

Thank you.

I think we should go for a walk, my darling.

It's very inconvenient.

Two ghastly policemen.

I thought they'd come about the parking,

but they want to interview Hugo.

They're most insistent.

I'll see to it.

Rebecca?

Rebecca.

Ah.

An afterthought if ever there was one.

I can't think what you must have been thinking

of when you thought of her.

I must have been out of my mind when I thought of her.

Must have lost my mind.

Look, Hugo, it's a bit cold for this.

I think we should go back.

I'm so sorry, my darling.

Thanks.

I want us to be alone tonight.

You look so beautiful tonight.

I've never seen you look so beautiful.

Do you remember when I first brought you

here, when you first saw this?

Captain?

What have you done?

Please, Hugo, don't do this.

You're frightening me, Hugo.

No one will disturb us here.

Ginny, I love you so much.

What are you-

Listen to me!

Listen to me.

I forgive you, Ginny, just as you forgive me.

Don't do this.

I'm scared.

Ginny, don't be afraid.

Come here, my darling.

Shit, Jamie's here.

Jamie, what the hell are you doing here?

Where's Hugo?

You look dreadful.

I want to see Hugo.

You can't at the moment.

Come on.

Ah, Sergeant.

I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting.

Rather hectic evening, I'm afraid.

Sorry to drag you away, sir.

That's quite all right.

Are they looking after you, Waller?

About the accident.

Oh, yeah?

We need to talk to Captain Skinner

before we proceed further.

Of course.

Anything that I can do to help.

I-

Have you heard from him?

Any idea of his whereabouts?

No.

But presumably you now a number of his friends.

Will you excuse me for just a few moments, Sergeant?

This shouldn't take long.

Well, there are some guests who've just arrived,

and I must attend to them.

You know how it is.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Jamie, that the hell have you been up to?

Hm?

Oh, look.

We've got a gate crasher.

Jack.

Let's keep this to ourselves.

We've got a gate crasher, everybody!

Jack!

Skinner's trying to worm his way in.

I understand from our hostess you

Time to go home, now, eh?

Come on, upsey daisy.
