Brideshead Revisited

en
00:00:56 If you asked me now who I am,
00:01:00 the only answer I could give
00:01:02 would be my name, Charles Ryder.
00:01:06 For the rest, my loves, my hates,
00:01:11 down even to my deepest desires,
00:01:14 I can no longer say whether
00:01:19 or stolen from those
00:01:25 On second thoughts,
00:01:30 alone among the borrowed
00:01:35 as pure as that faith
00:01:41 Guilt.
00:02:07 Been away, sir? Anywhere interesting?
00:02:10 - Jungle.
00:02:15 Explorer, are we?
00:02:16 - Painter.
00:02:19 So, bye-bye beardy, hello smooth.
00:02:34 Famous for his impressive
00:02:37 British artist Charles Ryder
00:02:42 with a series of gripping jungle studies.
00:02:45 To own a Ryder is currently the dream
00:02:47 of every self-respecting
00:02:50 You must be so proud of him.
00:02:52 - Was he away long?
00:02:55 - and it doesn't feel like a day.
00:03:00 I can't paint
00:03:02 Thank you.
00:03:03 I can't even hold a buggering brush!
00:03:05 But I know what I like. Lots of color.
00:03:12 I see the jungle in your work
00:03:15 Not least, the metaphysical semblance
00:03:20 Make an effort, Charles.
00:03:22 You're not in South America now.
00:04:06 - Mr. Ryder, I wonder if I could...
00:04:08 - Excuse me. Thank you very much.
00:05:27 Hello, Charles.
00:06:23 - You're wearing a coat!
00:06:26 Why?
00:06:28 - I'm going up to Oxford.
00:06:35 - Remind me. What are you taking?
00:06:38 - And what allowance have I given you?
00:06:41 How very indulgent of me.
00:06:47 Oh, I suppose this is the time
00:06:53 Your mother was always
00:06:58 Who's meeting you?
00:07:00 Cousin Jasper offered
00:07:02 Cousin Jasper!
00:07:05 Most entertaining.
00:07:48 Out of the way,
00:07:50 There you are, Charles.
00:07:53 This way, please.
00:07:57 Come along. As an only child,
00:08:01 Though I am only your cousin, Charles,
00:08:05 Older, wiser,
00:08:08 Now, it is no secret that our families
00:08:12 Keep off the grass.
00:08:13 But I like to think that we Ryders are,
00:08:19 Now, then... Not that way.
00:08:21 Clothes. Dress as you do
00:08:24 Never wear a tweed coat
00:08:28 And go to a London tailor.
00:08:31 Protocol. First and foremost,
00:08:34 Nine adulteries, 12 liaisons,
00:08:40 and something approaching a rape
00:08:43 rest nightly upon the soul
00:08:48 and yet the man is so
00:08:51 that he passes
00:08:58 Sodomites, all of them. Steer well clear.
00:09:05 Treat all dons
00:09:08 With indifference.
00:09:10 Oh, dear, oh, dear. This won't do at all.
00:09:14 I've seen many a man ruined
00:09:16 through having ground floor rooms
00:09:20 People start dropping in.
00:09:21 They leave their gowns here
00:09:24 You start giving them sherry
00:09:33 Sebastian, come along.
00:09:36 Come on, you're nearly clean.
00:09:46 Oh, no, no, no, sir, stop.
00:09:48 You don't clear up after yourself.
00:09:52 Sorry, Lunt. What's all this?
00:09:55 From the gentleman last night, sir.
00:10:07 "I am very contrite.
00:10:08 "Please come to luncheon today.
00:10:12 The Lord Sebastian Flyte,
00:10:15 I'm sure it's quite a pleasure
00:10:19 I take it
00:10:22 Yes, Lunt. I think I shall be.
00:11:08 I've just counted them.
00:11:10 There's five each and two over,
00:11:16 I'm unaccountably hungry today.
00:11:18 I put myself unreservedly
00:11:21 and feel so drugged
00:11:23 the whole of yesterday evening
00:11:27 Please don't wake me.
00:11:30 - Do try one.
00:11:34 - What are they?
00:11:39 Mummy sends them from Brideshead.
00:11:43 You would, too, if you knew my mother.
00:11:48 Are you terribly angry with me
00:11:51 No, not at all.
00:11:58 Aloysius, you can't go there.
00:12:09 - Tell me about you.
00:12:13 I'm in my first year, reading history,
00:12:18 but really what I most want to be
00:12:21 Would you like to paint me?
00:12:25 Well, yes. Yes, if you like.
00:12:29 It's so clever of you,
00:12:31 I've no idea what I want.
00:12:33 Except to be happy.
00:12:36 If I can.
00:12:38 Let's have some champagne.
00:12:41 A glass each before the rowdies arrive.
00:12:48 You don't want to join the Old Boys.
00:12:51 They're all bloody drugged bogs
00:12:55 Top me up,
00:12:56 - I don't remember you from Eton.
00:13:00 Oh, really. Where then?
00:13:05 Rugby? Oh, not Charterhouse, I hope?
00:13:10 You wouldn't have heard of it.
00:13:12 There are other schools,
00:13:14 Yes, I suppose there must be.
00:13:19 - My dears.
00:13:21 Hello, Blanche.
00:13:23 I couldn't get away before.
00:13:24 I was lunching
00:13:28 I told him I had to change for footer.
00:13:39 Anthony, you remember Charles.
00:13:43 Charles is reading history,
00:13:45 - No!
00:13:48 - Either you are an artist or you are not.
00:13:55 - Then I am.
00:13:58 You have about you
00:14:02 What do you want to be an artist for?
00:14:05 Why don't you just
00:14:07 and take a bloody photograph
00:14:10 - That's what I want to know!
00:14:13 - I don't give myself airs.
00:14:17 And, anyway,
00:14:20 Come on! Answer!
00:14:22 - Answer, answer, answer, answer...
00:14:26 Answer, answer, answer, answer...
00:14:28 Because a camera
00:14:34 which records a moment in time,
00:14:37 but not what that moment means
00:14:43 Whereas a painting,
00:14:49 is an expression of feeling.
00:14:54 An expression of love.
00:14:57 Not just a copy of something.
00:15:03 And who on earth do you think
00:15:07 I do.
00:15:09 Boy, you're an oaf. Behave yourself.
00:15:12 To art and love.
00:15:17 To art and love!
00:15:24 We'd just arrived in his rooms, then,
00:15:29 the Lord Flyte pokes his head
00:15:34 Ground floor rooms, you see.
00:15:37 - Morning, Jasper.
00:15:49 Two tries out of you today...
00:15:50 Charles. You're to come away at once!
00:15:53 I've got a basket of strawberries
00:15:56 which isn't a wine you've ever tasted,
00:15:59 It's heaven with strawberries.
00:16:21 Just the place to bury a crock of gold.
00:16:28 I should like to bury
00:16:30 in every place where I've been happy.
00:16:34 And, then,
00:16:39 I could come back
00:16:58 Come along, Charles.
00:17:31 - Is this where you live?
00:17:37 Don't worry,
00:17:38 - Oh, but I should like to.
00:18:06 Everything's shut up.
00:18:23 Keep up.
00:18:35 Charles. Charles.
00:18:49 Well, this is a surprise!
00:18:56 Meet my new chum, Charles.
00:18:59 Charles, this is Nanny Hawkins.
00:19:03 - I don't think I know you, do I?
00:19:06 Your friend has charming manners.
00:19:10 - No family. I mean, no one important.
00:19:15 - He's going to paint me.
00:19:20 You've come at just the right time.
00:19:22 Lady Marchmain's
00:19:24 It's the Conservative Women's Tea.
00:19:26 They always turn out for Brideshead.
00:19:28 I'm afraid we may have
00:19:31 Your mother will be disappointed.
00:19:33 I'm sure Her Ladyship
00:19:34 Can't be done, I'm afraid.
00:19:47 I pray for my dear Sebastian every day.
00:19:52 - Charles!
00:20:02 - Come along, Charles.
00:20:04 We've seen who we came for.
00:20:06 Just a little look.
00:20:45 Don't be such a tourist, Charles.
00:20:47 If you're that keen,
00:20:48 you can see it all for a shilling
00:20:53 God, I loathe that painting!
00:20:59 I could show you the chapel, I suppose,
00:21:26 What did you do that for?
00:21:30 - You're not Catholic, are you?
00:21:34 - I was just trying to fit in.
00:21:44 Come on, come on!
00:21:46 Sorry, I'm afraid I don't have the knack.
00:21:47 Charles, what are you doing?
00:21:54 Car. Now.
00:22:29 Who was that in the car
00:22:31 - My sister.
00:22:33 For goodness sake, Charles,
00:22:34 I don't keep asking you questions
00:22:37 But I've never
00:22:39 You're so inquisitive.
00:22:41 Well, you're so mysterious about them.
00:22:44 I hoped I was mysterious
00:22:47 Why don't you want me
00:22:50 Who are you ashamed of, them or me?
00:22:51 Don't be so vulgar, Charles.
00:22:58 I'm not having you mixed up
00:23:04 I don't have a family.
00:23:09 You have me.
00:23:15 Sebastian and Charles,
00:23:23 Contra mundum.
00:23:44 Father?
00:23:48 Father?
00:23:52 - Back already?
00:23:56 So soon?
00:24:17 Thank you.
00:24:19 - Father, I have to leave at once!
00:24:21 A great friend of mine
00:24:22 - I must go to him.
00:24:29 "Gravely injured.
00:24:35 I'm sorry you're upset.
00:24:38 Reading this message,
00:24:40 I would say that the accident was not
00:24:45 or it would not have been signed
00:24:51 Still, of course, he may well be
00:24:56 Remind me.
00:24:59 I told you, he's a great friend.
00:25:02 Well, I shall miss you, my boy,
00:25:26 Take your bag, sir?
00:25:34 Excuse me!
00:25:41 Are you Charles Ryder?
00:25:44 Yes. Sorry. Hello.
00:25:47 I'm Julia, Sebastian's sister.
00:25:50 Hop in, Mr. Ryder.
00:25:56 - Case in the back.
00:26:29 How's Sebastian?
00:26:30 - He's fine.
00:26:33 Did he tell you he was dying?
00:26:34 Well, I thought... His message said...
00:26:37 I expect he thought
00:26:39 He's not badly hurt, then?
00:26:41 He cracked a bone in his foot
00:26:45 - How did it happen?
00:26:52 I must admit,
00:26:55 you traveling all this way
00:26:57 I don't mind.
00:27:00 Is it? Why?
00:27:02 Well, it's such a beautiful house,
00:27:05 I can't stand the place.
00:27:13 Be an angel and light me one.
00:27:53 There you are, at last!
00:27:56 - I thought you were dying.
00:28:00 The pain was excruciating.
00:28:04 Julia, ask Wilcox
00:28:07 - I hate champagne.
00:28:12 Well, take your coat off. You'll boil.
00:28:20 Come along, Charles.
00:28:37 I thought you hated champagne.
00:28:38 I do.
00:28:41 I suppose Sebastian's told you
00:28:44 No. No, nothing at all,
00:28:46 And nor should I.
00:28:49 What?
00:28:51 - I take it you're not one of us?
00:28:54 I don't live like this,
00:28:56 She means you're not a Catholic.
00:28:59 Sorry, no. No, nothing at all.
00:29:01 - You mean you're an atheist?
00:29:05 Strictly speaking, we're C of E,
00:29:06 but Father only ever goes
00:29:12 He likes those.
00:29:14 - What about your mother?
00:29:18 I was very young.
00:29:20 She died working for the Red Cross.
00:29:22 Which, given her devotion to good,
00:29:24 does rather point up
00:29:27 I see. So, you're here arbitrarily?
00:29:31 He's here as my friend.
00:29:35 Given Mr. Ryder's
00:29:38 don't you think he ought to know
00:29:40 Leave Charles out of it.
00:29:42 - Tell me.
00:29:44 Mummy takes her faith
00:29:47 So seriously, in fact,
00:29:51 called her a living saint.
00:29:54 Mind you, he drinks.
00:29:56 Sebastian and I
00:29:59 I'm not a heathen, I'm a sinner.
00:30:03 As for you,
00:30:07 Why do we always end up
00:30:12 It's time for my bath.
00:30:15 Good evening, Mr. Ryder.
00:30:29 I don't think your sister
00:30:31 I don't think
00:30:35 I love her.
00:30:37 She's like me.
00:30:40 Drink in remembrance of me.
00:30:47 Hang on.
00:31:18 In fact, I know that that's checkmate.
00:31:27 Come here.
00:31:32 If only it could be
00:31:36 Always summer.
00:31:39 Always alone.
00:31:42 Fruit always ripe.
00:31:54 Cheers.
00:32:01 Now,
00:32:05 try this.
00:32:15 - No?
00:32:23 - Like a leprechaun.
00:32:28 A flute by still water.
00:32:32 This is a wise old wine.
00:32:43 A prophet in a cave.
00:32:45 And this
00:32:49 is a string of pearls on a white neck.
00:32:57 - A swan.
00:33:53 Who's that?
00:34:02 - Is that your brother?
00:34:06 - He seems all right to me.
00:34:15 Mother.
00:34:30 Hello, there.
00:34:31 Go away,
00:34:33 - Mummy's here.
00:34:36 She's invited Charles to dinner.
00:34:47 It's not
00:34:49 when we talked about this
00:34:52 It's no use crying, darling.
00:34:57 That's not going to help, is it?
00:35:00 You see, darling,
00:35:03 we must all pray for God's forgiveness.
00:35:07 So now, you try and try again now.
00:35:12 Be a good boy.
00:35:21 Now, just put your shirt on now.
00:35:24 Dining room's this way.
00:35:30 Is Sebastian all right?
00:35:34 Oh.
00:35:35 He and Mummy often have these talks.
00:35:39 Flannels for dinner?
00:35:43 - Will your mother mind?
00:35:47 No, don't worry.
00:35:51 - Do you often do that?
00:35:54 - Say one thing, mean another?
00:36:18 Thank you.
00:36:29 Amen.
00:36:33 Welcome to Brideshead, Mr. Ryder.
00:36:37 I do hope you didn't let Sebastian
00:36:42 I'm afraid I didn't quite have time
00:36:44 Sebastian must lend you some clothes
00:36:48 Or perhaps Bridey's a better fit.
00:36:51 Are you a Bridey
00:36:53 He can't borrow Bridey's clothes.
00:36:57 Don't be vulgar, Cordelia.
00:37:03 I hope you've been
00:37:06 Has Sebastian
00:37:09 Yes. Sebastian's been
00:37:13 Delighted to hear it.
00:37:16 - You're fond of wine?
00:37:19 I wish I were.
00:37:24 At Christ Church, I tried to get drunk
00:37:27 What do you enjoy, Bridey?
00:37:31 Hunting, shooting,
00:37:37 fishing.
00:37:41 And what form do your pleasures take,
00:37:45 - Sorry, pleasures?
00:37:47 - What do you do to relax?
00:37:49 Drinking is not a hobby, Sebastian.
00:37:52 - You live in London, is that correct?
00:37:55 - Whereabouts?
00:37:59 You live in a railway station?
00:38:01 No, no. Sorry. No, I live nearby.
00:38:07 I see.
00:38:08 And has this led
00:38:13 No.
00:38:15 So, are you close
00:38:21 Not really.
00:38:23 - With Anthony Blanche?
00:38:29 Charles is a painter, Mummy.
00:38:33 How charming.
00:38:35 We must get you
00:38:36 - Would you do that, Mr. Ryder?
00:38:39 I think Brideshead's the most
00:38:46 - It's utterly magical.
00:38:52 Summer at Brideshead.
00:38:55 Mr. Ryder must stay with us
00:38:58 As a matter of fact,
00:39:02 He wants me to go and see him
00:39:05 I see.
00:39:06 And do you intend
00:39:09 Yes. Why not?
00:39:10 What about you, Julia?
00:39:12 I'd like to.
00:39:13 Wouldn't you rather
00:39:22 Well, yes, if you want me to.
00:39:28 - You must not neglect your duty.
00:39:39 I think we might spend a little time
00:39:44 - Would you join us, Mr. Ryder?
00:39:49 You do know Charles is an atheist?
00:39:53 An agnostic, surely.
00:39:57 Actually, no.
00:39:59 But you'll join us, anyway,
00:40:06 Thank you.
00:40:12 - No Sebastian?
00:40:17 Charles, are you really an atheist?
00:40:21 - Yes, I am.
00:40:25 I'll put you on my prayer list.
00:40:27 I have a long list of people I pray for,
00:40:31 It's a new thing. You send five bob
00:40:34 and they christen a baby after you.
00:40:37 Right.
00:40:38 Thy will be done,
00:40:42 Give us this day our daily bread,
00:40:45 and forgive us our trespasses
00:40:48 as we forgive
00:40:51 And lead us not into temptation,
00:40:56 Amen.
00:41:39 Have you ever
00:41:42 No. No, I haven't.
00:41:44 Every ambitious young man
00:41:48 It makes one sound more complete.
00:41:52 I was thinking, if Sebastian were to go,
00:41:57 it might be a good thing
00:42:02 He needs someone plausible
00:42:06 I gather last time he was there, he was
00:42:11 It's youthful high spirits, I understand,
00:42:15 but in the end,
00:42:22 Atheist, or no.
00:42:29 I know I can rely on you.
00:42:32 You seem to me
00:43:12 - San Giovanni e Paolo.
00:43:15 I can see
00:43:18 By the way, I should warn you.
00:43:22 He lives
00:43:25 - Who's Cara?
00:43:29 Poor Papa's rather shunned by society.
00:43:31 Not the Italians, of course.
00:43:38 - Santa Maria dei Miracoli.
00:44:10 - My dear boy!
00:44:15 - You look so young!
00:44:17 I've taken to playing tennis
00:44:20 Cara thinks I'm getting far too fat.
00:44:22 Julia, come here.
00:44:24 - Father.
00:44:27 - I wasn't sure if you'd come.
00:44:29 Blessed by your mother.
00:44:32 You know, I used to try everything
00:44:34 Julia, this is your friend, Mr. Ryder?
00:44:36 - Charles is my friend, Papa.
00:44:39 - Delighted.
00:44:42 - Welcome to Venice.
00:44:46 Come along now. This way.
00:45:01 Don't look so greedy. It won't go away.
00:45:05 Sorry.
00:45:11 I wasn't sure you'd come to Venice.
00:45:15 Your father seemed
00:45:17 I'm not sure Father
00:45:20 He'd probably be just as happy
00:45:23 They adore each other.
00:45:29 - Who are you like?
00:45:31 Oh.
00:45:33 Nobody.
00:45:35 I'm the family shadow.
00:45:43 Drinks.
00:45:48 Julia.
00:45:53 Mr. Ryder, Sebastian tells me
00:45:57 - Charles is an artist.
00:46:00 Well, then I will show you all the
00:46:05 He never goes anywhere.
00:46:08 I don't mind the art.
00:46:12 The Italians seem unable
00:46:15 without putting Christ dying in it.
00:46:18 Of course, your mother loved Italy.
00:46:20 - A pietà on every street corner.
00:46:22 On the contrary, she'd be flattered.
00:46:26 - Mummy loves all of us equally.
00:46:29 You were the one who walked away!
00:46:37 What must you think of us, Mr. Ryder?
00:46:41 - A family of monsters, are we not?
00:46:45 I lost my mother when I was young.
00:46:53 Tell me, Mr. Ryder, as an artist,
00:47:00 I thought it was magnificent.
00:47:02 You think that? Really?
00:47:05 And now, here you are in Venice.
00:47:08 What a lot of temptations.
00:47:27 He walks for two hours
00:47:31 But he's quite fragile, you know, inside.
00:47:37 That woman nearly suffocated him.
00:47:41 - She's been very kind to me.
00:47:48 Well, just look at her children.
00:47:50 Even when they were tiny,
00:47:53 they must do
00:47:54 be what she want them to be.
00:47:56 Only then, would she love them.
00:48:00 It's not Lady Marchmain's fault.
00:48:06 But surely you're Catholic, too?
00:48:09 Yes, but a different sort.
00:48:11 It's different in Italy. Not so much guilt.
00:48:16 We do what the heart tell us,
00:48:29 Sebastian loves you very much, I think.
00:48:34 There you are.
00:48:35 They're very good,
00:48:39 if they don't go on too long.
00:48:45 For you, it's just a,
00:48:51 But I think it's more than that
00:49:00 Tread carefully, Mr. Ryder.
00:49:06 Come on.
00:49:09 - Hello.
00:49:18 Come on.
00:49:20 Got you.
00:50:14 Can't sleep.
00:50:24 I enjoyed the beach today.
00:50:28 You were very sweet.
00:50:35 Charles?
00:50:39 There you are.
00:50:50 Sorry.
00:50:53 Lots to drink.
00:50:59 I'm so glad you're here.
00:51:01 - I'm glad you're here.
00:51:04 - Did I say I'm glad you're here?
00:51:21 Let's get plastered.
00:51:24 Oh, yes, I do. I want. I want.
00:51:36 There's a wonderful chapel
00:51:38 You will see a masterpiece, I tell you.
00:52:01 The devil's got his eye on you!
00:52:07 Well, then you must protect me.
00:52:32 Julia!
00:53:22 Julia.
00:53:23 I got lost. All those people.
00:53:59 What are you doing?
00:54:03 What's the matter?
00:54:07 No!
00:55:24 Funny old religion, isn't it?
00:55:30 Sebastian,
00:55:35 what happened just now...
00:55:43 If I'd known it was going to happen,
00:55:48 I'd never have...
00:55:52 I don't know what I'm supposed to...
00:56:55 Checkmate.
00:57:00 I'm boring you.
00:00:07 - I've been in Venice.
00:00:12 The friend you were
00:00:19 - No.
00:00:22 You should have written to tell me.
00:00:42 Watch out, Flyte!
00:00:47 - Sebastian!
00:00:53 - Damn. Where is he? The bastard.
00:00:57 - Mr. Samgrass.
00:00:59 One of Mummy's gang.
00:01:02 Bastard's been set up to follow me.
00:01:04 I wouldn't mind
00:01:06 God, I feel a hundred years old.
00:01:10 Why haven't you called round?
00:01:12 I was beginning to think
00:01:16 - Since Venice.
00:01:23 - Damn! There he is again.
00:01:25 - Mr. Samgrass! There!
00:01:28 Mummy's hired him to watch me.
00:01:30 - What does he want?
00:01:33 Look, if he's bothering you,
00:01:39 Dear Charles, always so certain.
00:01:44 - I'm not certain of anything.
00:01:53 By the way, Mummy's here.
00:01:57 She has to talk to you.
00:02:01 Probably wants you
00:02:03 Don't be like that.
00:02:07 Why don't I come round
00:02:10 I'm not sure I want to see you anymore.
00:02:26 I'm so sorry.
00:02:47 So, Charles,
00:02:52 - how was Venice?
00:02:56 - A strange way to put it.
00:03:00 Speaking as an artist or a man?
00:03:05 I want a word with you
00:03:08 I'm concerned about him.
00:03:11 - Tea?
00:03:14 - Why? Should I be?
00:03:16 You must have noticed.
00:03:21 Yes, I suppose
00:03:23 No, not at all. You drink to get drunk,
00:03:24 Sebastian drinks to escape
00:03:32 I do wish I could understand
00:03:35 Ever since he came back from Venice,
00:03:39 - Did something happen there?
00:03:45 - You all had a good time?
00:03:49 I wonder what it could have been.
00:03:55 I hope you didn't let Julia mislead you.
00:03:58 - I don't understand.
00:04:03 Please understand,
00:04:04 I would not want you
00:04:09 Her future is not a question of choice.
00:04:15 Were it simply
00:04:19 this I might overlook.
00:04:20 But you are a self-proclaimed atheist,
00:04:23 and my daughter
00:04:27 God commands and we obey.
00:04:31 However, we're forgetting ourselves.
00:04:33 We're here to talk
00:04:35 I'm not sure Sebastian
00:04:39 Because of Julia?
00:04:41 But that is all cleared up now.
00:04:44 We're giving a ball for Julia's 21 st.
00:04:46 I'd like you
00:04:49 You came to Brideshead
00:04:51 If you have
00:04:55 it is surely not too much to ask
00:05:00 - To him or to you?
00:05:07 And, of course,
00:05:09 Brideshead does look particularly
00:05:15 Tell me, I'm curious.
00:05:19 Since, as you claim,
00:05:24 what do you imagine
00:05:29 Living my life, the same as you.
00:05:31 But without faith,
00:05:38 I want to look back and say that I was
00:05:42 alive.
00:05:45 That I didn't turn my back. That I tried.
00:05:51 That I was happy.
00:05:52 Happiness in this life is irrelevant.
00:05:55 All that matters,
00:05:58 the only thing of consequence,
00:06:14 Ready for the off.
00:06:17 A beautiful day for it, isn't it? Come on.
00:06:48 Funny, isn't it?
00:06:52 - Rex Mottram. How do you do?
00:06:56 Good to meet you, Charles.
00:07:00 We should compare notes some time.
00:07:03 - Going on the hunt?
00:07:06 Wise man. Load of English
00:07:10 Got to fit in, though!
00:07:25 Who is it?
00:07:31 It's me.
00:07:33 You could have knocked.
00:07:36 I did.
00:07:41 Sit down.
00:08:13 If only it could be like this always.
00:08:17 - Always summer.
00:08:21 Pass me a towel.
00:08:39 Where's that damn shirt?
00:08:43 You're shaking. What is it?
00:08:48 Don't you know, Charles?
00:08:51 "Why this is hell, nor am I out of it."
00:08:54 - Sebastian, if I've ever done anything...
00:08:59 It's me.
00:09:05 For God's sake, do stop mooning at me
00:09:12 I'm fine.
00:09:15 I'm fine so long
00:09:18 I want you to know that
00:09:22 I'm not in your mother's gang,
00:09:27 I'm on your side.
00:09:31 Contra mundum.
00:09:36 Dear Charles,
00:09:42 you're not in anybody's gang.
00:09:46 That's always been your problem.
00:09:58 Why are you going on the hunt?
00:10:03 I do.
00:10:06 I'm going to leave Bridey
00:10:09 hack over to the nearest pub,
00:10:16 If they treat me like a dipsomaniac,
00:10:17 they can bloody well
00:10:20 Well, they can't stop you.
00:10:22 They can, as a matter of fact,
00:10:27 by not giving me any money.
00:10:34 I've pawned my watch
00:10:38 That lasted for a bit,
00:10:42 but that's all gone now.
00:10:45 So, regretfully...
00:10:48 Sebastian, I can't do that.
00:10:52 - I thought you were on my side.
00:10:55 Well, then.
00:10:57 Look, why don't I come with you?
00:11:00 It's miserable drinking alone.
00:11:03 We could get drunk together,
00:11:05 No.
00:11:08 I'm past all that.
00:11:11 Thanks for the offer.
00:11:16 Well?
00:11:19 Are you with me or against me?
00:11:48 Little bit further up
00:11:51 Sarah, look.
00:11:54 Sort of up here.
00:12:50 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:12:54 on top of the birthday festivities,
00:12:57 the engagement of my eldest daughter,
00:13:01 to Mr. Rex Mottram.
00:13:17 Yes,
00:13:25 - Thank you, Charles. I'd love to dance.
00:13:29 - Cordelia, I'm...
00:13:42 - Charles?
00:13:44 I hope you don't mind me asking,
00:13:49 - it is all bosh, isn't it?
00:13:52 Good. I thought so.
00:13:58 Get a grip, Charles!
00:14:01 Rex! Rex, I need a better dancer.
00:14:05 Yours for five minutes and no more.
00:14:08 - Come along.
00:14:12 You're rather tall,
00:14:14 Is that a handicap?
00:14:36 Why didn't you tell me?
00:14:40 It's not Sebastian. I don't believe that.
00:14:43 Charles, I can't do this.
00:14:45 - When we kissed...
00:14:50 Why? It was wonderful.
00:14:54 I know.
00:14:59 I think about it all the time.
00:15:04 I have no choice.
00:15:23 - Oh, Sebastian.
00:15:31 - Oh, Charles.
00:15:37 - Come along, old boy.
00:15:39 You're in tweed, Sebastian.
00:15:41 Bugger off, Bridey.
00:15:48 You see... What it is...
00:15:51 I hate you all so very much!
00:15:54 - Sebastian.
00:15:57 You don't care about me!
00:15:58 All you ever wanted
00:16:00 Okay, Sebastian, that's enough.
00:16:03 All right. I'm going.
00:16:47 Charles,
00:16:52 did you give Sebastian money today?
00:16:56 Yes, I did.
00:17:00 Knowing how he was likely to spend it?
00:17:05 Yes.
00:17:08 I don't understand.
00:17:10 How could you be so nice
00:17:14 and then do something
00:17:18 We all liked you so much.
00:17:25 Do you think it's better
00:17:31 Having him watched
00:17:34 But you deliberately
00:17:39 You're the reason he drinks,
00:17:43 not me.
00:17:46 All I did was
00:17:49 try to give him a little freedom.
00:17:51 No, you just wanted him to like you.
00:17:55 I think you should leave now, Charles.
00:19:21 Hello, there.
00:19:24 Yes, thanks.
00:19:30 I'm Celia Mulcaster, by the way.
00:19:35 Charles Ryder.
00:19:38 I saw your paintings in the brochure
00:19:45 No need to look so gloomy.
00:19:48 If I had half your talent, I'd be delirious.
00:19:53 You can thank me, if you want.
00:19:58 Thank you.
00:20:02 Would you like me
00:20:23 Silent and grave,
00:20:28 - Charles.
00:20:33 Thank you, Father.
00:20:36 I'm so glad your son
00:20:53 Please, sit down.
00:20:56 I'm fine, thank you.
00:21:00 How did you know where I lived?
00:21:02 My driver found you.
00:21:04 The Ryders of Paddington
00:21:07 I hear you have your first exhibition
00:21:10 Congratulations.
00:21:12 I'm sure you're not here
00:21:14 No. The last time we saw each other,
00:21:19 I'm not here to apologize.
00:21:23 I took you into my confidence,
00:21:27 I do hope you're not asking me
00:21:30 - I act only as God directs.
00:21:33 God's your best invention.
00:21:36 - I am not here to argue with you.
00:21:41 The reason I called
00:21:47 A favor?
00:21:51 Sebastian's gone missing.
00:21:54 I'm worried about him.
00:21:59 You banish me from your house,
00:22:02 you poison my friendship
00:22:05 and now you expect me
00:22:08 There's no one else I can ask.
00:22:11 Even if I were to agree,
00:22:12 what makes you think Sebastian
00:22:15 Because he cared for you more
00:22:26 All I ever wanted was to see them safe.
00:22:30 And all they do is hate me.
00:22:49 I'll be at Brideshead.
00:22:52 You may send word to me there.
00:22:55 Driver!
00:22:59 Driver!
00:24:54 I'm looking for Sebastian Flyte.
00:25:01 This is his house.
00:25:04 - Who are you?
00:25:08 In the local hospital.
00:25:12 When you see him,
00:25:15 tell him I'm still here.
00:25:24 Your friend
00:25:28 One of his lungs is full of fluid.
00:25:31 He will recover. But travel with you?
00:25:35 He's very weak. No resistance.
00:25:39 What do you expect?
00:26:13 Here is your friend.
00:26:31 What the hell are you doing here?
00:26:34 Your mother asked me to come.
00:26:36 She wants me to bring you back home,
00:26:39 but the doctor said
00:26:44 I wouldn't, even if I could.
00:26:47 I think...
00:26:51 I think she's dying.
00:27:01 Walk with me. I'm meant to exercise.
00:27:24 Did you go to my house?
00:27:27 Did you meet Kurt?
00:27:30 Yes.
00:27:33 He wanted you to know
00:27:37 It's rather a pleasant change,
00:27:41 when all your life
00:27:45 to have someone to look after, yourself.
00:28:02 I thought you'd want to go back
00:28:04 Brideshead?
00:28:06 Are you mad?
00:28:10 The place would still be full of her.
00:28:14 I wouldn't go within
00:28:22 I need to sit.
00:28:38 I'm sorry.
00:28:40 Whatever for?
00:28:52 Everything.
00:28:55 It's all right.
00:28:58 Truly.
00:29:02 I asked too much of you.
00:29:07 I knew it all along, really.
00:29:11 Only God can give you that sort of love.
00:29:21 Come home, Sebastian.
00:29:26 When you're well enough.
00:29:29 Don't finish it like this.
00:29:35 This is my life now.
00:29:39 I'm happy here.
00:29:45 I miss you.
00:29:49 How sweet of you to say that.
00:29:54 Dear Charles,
00:29:59 it was my fault for
00:30:08 Run away.
00:30:11 Run far away and don't ever look back.
00:31:08 I'm sorry.
00:31:37 You must be so proud of him.
00:31:40 - Was he away long?
00:31:42 and it doesn't feel like a day.
00:32:34 Hello, Charles.
00:32:43 Did you know I was on the boat?
00:32:47 If I said no, you wouldn't believe me.
00:32:56 You're married now.
00:32:59 Yes.
00:33:05 - You haven't changed at all.
00:33:14 - How ridiculous.
00:33:20 Tell me this is fate.
00:34:47 - What?
00:34:50 Tell me.
00:34:52 I was thinking about Sebastian.
00:34:55 Mummy died without
00:35:02 I know.
00:35:08 Let's go up on deck.
00:35:11 - Are you sure?
00:35:18 Come on!
00:35:30 Sorry.
00:35:36 - So where's Rex?
00:35:39 Forgive me, Rex!
00:35:55 Lady Julia, fancy meeting you here.
00:35:57 - Mr. Ryder.
00:36:00 Dry martini, please.
00:36:01 One dry Martini,
00:36:03 Please, allow me.
00:36:15 So, why did you marry Rex?
00:36:17 I don't know. Because he wasn't you.
00:36:20 - Because he was rich.
00:36:24 Because Mummy approved,
00:36:29 I thought he was my painted savage.
00:36:33 It turns out he was
00:36:38 Thank you.
00:36:39 Now, no more talk about Rex.
00:36:51 - Do you have children?
00:36:55 No.
00:37:00 - What will you tell your wife?
00:37:05 I have a viewing to arrange.
00:37:09 - Where shall we go?
00:37:13 - What about Italy? Capri?
00:37:15 - Seville.
00:37:17 - Paris.
00:37:18 - No!
00:37:21 - It's the loveliest place on earth.
00:37:25 - Not after this.
00:37:26 - We've nothing to apologize for.
00:37:31 Besides, Rex is there.
00:37:33 Leave it to me.
00:37:37 I'll settle everything.
00:37:43 Trust me.
00:37:45 I do.
00:37:47 - And stop worrying!
00:38:05 Good afternoon, ma'am.
00:38:11 Mr. and Mrs. Ryder.
00:38:14 Look, that's the Duke
00:38:18 - They want to buy one!
00:38:24 Make an effort, Charles.
00:38:32 Mrs. Ryder, good day.
00:38:34 Charles, how charming you look.
00:38:40 Anthony.
00:38:42 I heard, quite by chance, at a luncheon,
00:38:45 So, of course, I dashed impetuously
00:38:50 Where are the pictures?
00:38:53 Let me explain them to you.
00:39:06 This is simply charm.
00:39:08 Simple, creamy, English charm,
00:39:15 But enough of art.
00:39:17 They tell me you are happy in love
00:39:21 Or nearly everything.
00:39:25 Everyone's talking about it.
00:39:27 So, it's Julia now.
00:39:32 Do you think I should warn her?
00:39:34 Warn her about what?
00:39:37 How apropos that you'd have
00:39:44 I always thought you
00:39:47 when all along it is they
00:39:51 There really is no end to your hunger,
00:40:14 Why do I feel so nervous?
00:40:23 - Who are all these people?
00:40:28 Rex thinks there's a war
00:40:30 He wants to do well out of it.
00:40:31 - It's all he talks about.
00:40:34 - Hello, Rex.
00:40:36 Mr. Ryder,
00:40:39 I hear you're making
00:40:42 - Could I have a word with you?
00:40:52 It's cold.
00:41:00 Not here!
00:41:05 - Sorry.
00:41:07 - Let me settle everything with Rex.
00:41:12 - Yes? Charles?
00:41:16 If that's what you want.
00:41:30 Hello, Bridey.
00:41:32 - Hello, Julia. Just up from London?
00:41:36 Welcome back to Brideshead, Charles.
00:41:38 - How's your family?
00:41:42 - Rex still entertaining?
00:41:50 I'm sorry he's not here.
00:41:53 Well, come on. Out with it.
00:41:55 - I'm engaged to be married.
00:41:58 Well, who is she?
00:42:01 - No one you know.
00:42:04 I don't think you could
00:42:07 "Comely" is the word
00:42:10 She is a big woman.
00:42:12 - Fat?
00:42:15 She's called Mrs. Muspratt.
00:42:18 But, Bridey, where did you find her?
00:42:20 Her late husband, Admiral Muspratt,
00:42:24 You're not marrying her
00:42:28 No, no.
00:42:29 Matchboxes were left
00:42:31 I'm just holding them for collection.
00:42:36 - I hope you'll be very happy.
00:42:39 - I think I'm very fortunate.
00:42:43 When are we going to meet her?
00:42:45 - I couldn't do that.
00:42:47 Well, you must understand,
00:42:48 Beryl is a woman
00:42:51 fortified by the prejudices
00:42:54 I couldn't possibly bring her here.
00:42:57 I don't understand.
00:42:59 It may be a matter of indifference
00:43:00 whether or not you choose
00:43:03 but on no account would Beryl
00:43:07 How dare you talk to her
00:43:12 Bloody offensive thing to say!
00:43:15 Really, there was nothing
00:43:16 I was merely stating
00:43:40 Take no notice of him, my darling.
00:43:46 So,
00:43:48 got you. Sorry about the delay.
00:43:52 I'll be outside.
00:44:06 The door? Door's made
00:44:10 I had it installed especially. Want one?
00:44:14 No, thank you.
00:44:20 I know what you're thinking.
00:44:27 How vulgar can it get?
00:44:35 I do it on purpose.
00:44:37 It amuses me to offend
00:44:42 So, you wanna take my wife off me?
00:44:44 You know she can't marry
00:44:48 - Against the rules.
00:44:51 She'll never be free.
00:44:53 Don't pretend
00:44:54 Who said anything about faith?
00:44:56 I bet you'd love to get your hands
00:45:00 All those pretty paintings.
00:45:04 Let her go, Rex. You never loved her.
00:45:07 The only thing you ever had
00:45:09 Wrong. When I decided to marry Julia,
00:45:12 I converted before the wedding.
00:45:16 Bet she didn't tell you that.
00:45:19 - I guessed.
00:45:23 You're the type.
00:45:30 You people,
00:45:33 you never learn.
00:45:37 You could have had it all
00:45:40 I did what I had to do.
00:45:42 They want a Catholic,
00:45:44 It's a great religion.
00:45:45 You sin all you want, then you confess.
00:45:49 You gotta woo these people.
00:45:52 This family don't live in the real world.
00:45:53 - They're mortgaged up to the hilt.
00:46:04 You want my wife? Make me an offer.
00:46:08 - I'm not just giving her away.
00:46:14 Try a little harder.
00:46:18 You're a rich man, Rex,
00:46:20 You can never have enough
00:46:27 No, you're right.
00:46:29 You're taking her off my hands.
00:46:32 I'll tell you what I'll do.
00:46:36 You give me a couple of your jungle
00:46:42 I hear you're worth collecting.
00:46:49 Come on, Charlie boy, say yes.
00:46:56 You don't have to speak.
00:47:01 Just nod.
00:47:21 I'll have my driver take me to London.
00:47:22 He can pick up the paintings
00:47:34 You know she's mad.
00:47:40 Lost the only one we had.
00:48:02 Julia?
00:48:23 I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
00:48:28 - It's just a shock.
00:48:30 Shh. Don't.
00:48:35 I've always known, ever since nursery.
00:48:39 I tried to be good, I really did.
00:48:44 All through the backgammon
00:48:47 But it's not enough. It's never enough.
00:48:52 God had to punish me.
00:48:55 So he took my little stillborn...
00:48:58 My child. My girl.
00:49:02 With you, I thought I could
00:49:05 But coming back here, it's like a thread,
00:49:08 an invisible thread drawing you back,
00:49:13 until all of a sudden,
00:49:16 And that voice inside your head,
00:49:18 the one that Mummy planted
00:49:21 every night in the nursery,
00:49:24 And the voice is telling you,
00:49:27 "Wicked little Julia,
00:49:30 And here I am again with you,
00:49:36 It's over. It's over now.
00:49:59 - Everything set?
00:50:01 - Thank you, Wilcox.
00:50:29 Who's that?
00:50:35 Go back. Turn around.
00:50:41 Staff, immediately!
00:50:45 Come on, quickly now!
00:50:50 I'll help with that.
00:50:53 Come on, hurry!
00:50:55 Shall I help, Tompkins?
00:50:56 The sedan chair.
00:51:02 Hurry.
00:51:04 Come along, come along.
00:51:06 Somebody got the rug?
00:51:11 Up. Gently.
00:51:13 Clear the stairs, please.
00:51:19 - Father!
00:51:22 Come on, please. Come on!
00:51:32 I'm sorry, I was to call,
00:51:34 but we have been traveling
00:51:37 It was Cordelia,
00:51:39 What happened?
00:51:41 as soon as possible.
00:51:42 His heart. Some long word at the heart.
00:51:47 Hurry up.
00:51:49 He's dying.
00:51:51 He has come home to die.
00:51:58 Come on, everybody, that's it.
00:51:59 Come along.
00:52:01 We must get Lord Marchmain
00:52:12 Thank you.
00:52:21 He's sleeping.
00:52:24 Do you think we should
00:52:27 You could, but I doubt he'd come.
00:52:29 The last I heard of him,
00:52:33 The monks have him as a porter
00:52:36 He seems to like it.
00:52:38 I think they've rather taken him
00:52:42 Still, salvation of a sort.
00:52:48 Bridey, you need to call for a priest.
00:52:51 I'll have a word with Father Mackay
00:52:54 Julia, your father doesn't want a priest.
00:52:57 All he wants is to die in his old home.
00:53:00 Our father's soul, all sinners' souls,
00:53:06 It is our duty as Catholics
00:53:09 to save those we love from themselves.
00:53:55 Hateful woman.
00:53:57 She wants me dead.
00:54:02 What about you?
00:54:05 - Do you want me dead?
00:54:17 You know the family
00:54:20 They seem determined
00:54:24 Why should you care?
00:54:27 You don't believe in God.
00:54:30 You said so yourself.
00:54:34 Have you suddenly
00:54:39 I've already seen Sebastian
00:54:42 I don't see why I should watch it
00:54:49 How very caring of you.
00:54:52 You forget, I was there.
00:54:55 I watched that woman crucify my son,
00:54:59 little by little, and I was silent.
00:55:05 What does that say about me?
00:55:07 You're not responsible
00:55:10 But are we not also
00:55:15 You, Charles, and me?
00:55:21 I let Sebastian down.
00:55:26 I let everyone down.
00:55:33 This way, sir.
00:55:44 Dear, no, that's too many!
00:55:46 - Papa...
00:55:48 - Get him away.
00:55:50 - Get him away! Get him away!
00:55:55 Everybody out! Out! Out!
00:55:58 - I'm so sorry, Father.
00:56:03 I've known worse cases
00:56:10 What were you talking
00:56:17 He doesn't want a priest.
00:56:21 Please, Charles.
00:56:23 Please don't interfere with matters
00:56:27 Julia...
00:56:32 Let's get out of here.
00:56:34 We'll go to Italy.
00:56:37 - Capri.
00:56:42 When this is over,
00:57:00 - Why should I believe you?
00:57:04 You just bought me from Rex.
00:57:11 What are you talking about?
00:57:13 According to you,
00:57:19 I thought I'd fetch at least three.
00:57:23 Don't be ridiculous.
00:57:28 - That was Rex.
00:57:31 - I had no choice!
00:57:34 I thought I was doing the right thing.
00:57:35 I thought I was doing what you wanted.
00:57:36 No, you thought you were getting me
00:57:40 - Is that really what you think?
00:57:44 What does Charles Ryder really want?
00:58:07 Can you imagine what it was like
00:58:14 Me,
00:58:17 Charles Ryder,
00:58:20 "the painter from Paddington,"
00:58:25 There was no humiliation
00:58:28 just to be part of that dream.
00:58:31 And your mother, that woman is more
00:58:36 She's in every brick,
00:58:46 Sebastian was right.
00:58:56 We should run away.
00:59:01 - Why did you bring me here?
00:59:51 - Bridey...
01:00:21 Now, try and remember your sins
01:00:26 I'm going to give you absolution now.
01:00:29 And while I'm giving it,
01:00:30 I want you to tell God you're sorry
01:00:34 and then I want you
01:00:48 - Amen.
01:01:20 Amen.
01:01:37 Please, God,
01:01:42 Forgive me. Oh, God, forgive me.
01:03:29 Sebastian used to loathe this painting.
01:03:34 Daddy gave it to Mummy
01:03:40 Tell me.
01:03:47 I wanted too much.
01:03:53 It's nobody's fault.
01:03:55 But you're not coming with me.
01:04:04 I can't shut myself off from His mercy.
01:04:09 Can you understand that?
01:04:15 I don't want to make it easier for you.
01:04:25 I hope your heart
01:04:30 breaks.
01:04:39 But I do understand.
01:04:46 I have to let you go.
01:06:08 Whether by fate or the
01:06:13 I find myself returned once more
01:06:17 Let it go.
01:06:30 Did I want too much?
01:06:36 Get him out of my sight!
01:06:38 Did my own hunger blind me to
01:06:45 Am I only now, shadowed by war,
01:06:52 alone enough to see the light?
01:07:03 Worst place we've struck yet.
01:07:04 No facilities, no amenities,
01:07:06 and the nearest village
01:07:09 Mind you, there's a rumor
01:07:11 They'll be shipping
01:07:14 Yes, very soon.
01:07:17 Where are the family now?
01:07:19 Some Lady Flyte lives
01:07:22 She's overseas
01:07:25 Her elder brother died in the Blitz.
01:07:29 - I take it you're not religious, Hooper.
01:07:34 You're born, you live, then you die.
01:07:39 Do you have any hopes
01:07:41 Hopes? Oh, aye, plenty.
01:07:44 It's our time now. You watch.
01:07:48 Future belongs to us,
01:07:53 How about you, sir?
01:07:54 You got someone
01:07:56 Me? No.
01:07:59 I've loved and lost
01:08:04 Would you like me
01:08:06 No, not yet. Carry on, Hooper.
01:08:10 Very good, sir.
01:08:21 Sergeant!
