00:00:51 Come on, Glorious!
00:00:54 (INDISTINCT SHOUTING
00:01:09 (BOY) How does Wilfred fit into it?
00:01:12 He will never beat Wilfred!
00:01:18 Princess Celia! Fat Men dancing!
00:01:22 That is what we call them
00:01:28 - En garde! Voilà!
00:01:31 Victory for me!
00:01:33 Victory, victory, victory!
00:02:27 (CHURCH BELLS CHIME)
00:03:17 - (MAN) Yes?
00:03:21 - Is Mr. Page there?
00:03:24 Both, if possible.
00:03:26 (DOOR BUZZES)
00:03:31 (MAN)
00:03:37 (KNOCKS)
00:03:39 Come in.
00:03:44 I am Walter, this is Oliver.
00:03:48 And you are our cousin Michael.
00:03:51 Yes...that's me.
00:03:54 I believe we met once
00:03:58 I am sure he remembers it vividly!
00:04:04 Have some cake.
00:04:06 (CHURCH BELLS CHIME)
00:04:10 Delicious cake.
00:04:15 Is that the 2 of you?
00:04:16 It is indeed. As I am sure
00:04:26 You do have a lot of radios.
00:04:28 They're from our childhood.
00:04:34 It'll take a moment to warm up.
00:04:35 What do you want to ask
00:04:39 Right, yes, um...
00:04:43 I'm interested in history.
00:04:46 And you're the only ones left
00:04:50 Yes.
00:04:53 - My grandmother.
00:04:58 I just wondered...
00:05:01 What happened to her sister, Anne?
00:05:03 (WALTER) She was an actress.
00:05:05 She was indeed.
00:05:07 She played the best friend
00:05:10 That's her, up there.
00:05:12 Anne was the oldest.
00:05:15 She was adopted, of course.
00:05:17 As frequently happens,
00:05:20 But they didn't think
00:05:22 and so they adopted one.
00:05:25 And then, lo and behold,
00:05:30 They were all very close.
00:05:34 You didn't think it would work.
00:05:37 Let's see if we can find
00:05:41 What happened to her?
00:05:45 Tell me.
00:05:47 It's not always a good place
00:05:51 - This is a little bit better.
00:05:55 Let's see if we can get
00:05:59 (STATIC, BAND MUSIC PLAYING)
00:06:09 (WALTER) It had been a fantastic
00:06:14 The most glorious summer
00:06:17 for a very long time.
00:06:20 The year before, it had seemed
00:06:25 the policy of appeasing Hitler,
00:06:28 really had worked.
00:06:30 And even now it seemed
00:06:35 Your grandmother,
00:06:39 had grown up
00:06:42 with an even more beautiful garden.
00:06:46 It was a very exciting time.
00:06:48 Ralph was doing well
00:06:51 Anne had a part she was
00:06:56 It was your
00:07:00 and they had prepared
00:07:03 or rather Anne had,
00:07:06 because she was in charge
00:07:09 (LAUGHTER)
00:07:15 The Fat Men on the march. It's one
00:07:19 (CHUCKLES)
00:07:21 (CELIA)
00:07:23 The other one's a little dotty.
00:07:25 (ANNE)
00:07:28 but he can be great fun.
00:07:33 Anne, he is beautiful.
00:07:36 Why all the knights?
00:07:39 Ah. It's...it's something
00:07:43 Perhaps I'll get to take
00:07:46 (LAUGHS)
00:07:48 Do you want to see?
00:07:55 (RALPH)
00:07:56 Anne started it,
00:07:59 We call them
00:08:01 This reminds me of someone
00:08:03 (LAUGHS)
00:08:07 Oh, that's George.
00:08:09 His sister, Sonia,
00:08:11 so he's a little upset.
00:08:15 Were you allowed to put them
00:08:18 Almost everywhere!
00:08:20 This is the shell line.
00:08:22 We were not allowed to cross it.
00:08:24 Those buildings were stuffed with
00:08:28 - I bet you did cross it, though.
00:08:31 We never have.
00:08:34 There were so many
00:08:36 Do you want to see
00:08:38 We have time to go, don't we, Anne?
00:08:43 Yes. If we're quick.
00:08:49 Oh!
00:08:52 (ECHOING)
00:08:56 Marvellous place to come
00:08:59 Point of order, Mr. Speaker!
00:09:03 The Honourable Member
00:09:06 (LAWRENCE LAUGHS)
00:09:07 Both the 1st part
00:09:13 So this is where it all comes from,
00:09:17 about chubby men
00:09:19 They were all deeply flawed,
00:09:21 overweight and lazy.
00:09:23 - We liked them like that.
00:09:26 when we wanted them to be.
00:09:29 They slaughtered anyone
00:09:33 Your father made terrific speeches
00:09:36 It's a pity he speaks
00:09:39 Well, his health
00:09:42 That's why he takes
00:09:45 I've heard a lot about your papa.
00:09:46 Heard he's the most charming man
00:09:50 Which makes me rather nervous.
00:09:52 What if he doesn't like me?
00:09:56 (BIRDS CHIRPING)
00:10:06 Hello.
00:10:10 Happy birthday.
00:10:11 Oh, my, my, my!
00:10:13 What a glorious homecoming!
00:10:16 Anne, you've surpassed yourself,
00:10:20 You all have.
00:10:21 Henry, you've met, of course.
00:10:24 a colleague of Henry's.
00:10:27 It is a delight to find
00:10:30 - Happy birthday, Papa.
00:10:32 - Your mother is still getting ready?
00:10:35 - She did all the flowers, of course.
00:10:39 - Happy birthday.
00:10:41 - And you must be Lawrence.
00:10:43 It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.
00:10:46 Thank you. You certainly live up
00:10:49 Papa!
00:10:51 (CHUCKLES)
00:10:53 Did he say he is one of the cleverest
00:10:57 and I had better watch out?
00:11:01 (DISTANT CHATTERING
00:11:07 Why are you here
00:11:11 A little fishing. I was determined
00:11:16 - How very sensible.
00:11:19 to such an ancient place, it's...
00:11:22 Well, it's quite possible to think
00:11:26 But it isn't, is it?
00:11:27 We're not sleepwalking
00:11:30 We're going up to it,
00:11:32 I've certainly been known
00:11:35 Precisely in what way
00:11:38 I will tell you precisely.
00:11:41 march into Czechoslovakia
00:11:43 Now we're saying, "That's all right,
00:11:47 - Are we saying that?
00:11:49 Hitler wants to take over Europe,
00:11:52 so long as he doesn't bother us.
00:11:55 Forgive a statement that's obvious,
00:11:57 or what I think is obvious,
00:11:59 but evil has to be stood up to.
00:12:01 But one has to be
00:12:04 - One has to have the means.
00:12:07 Even if we have let Germany re-arm,
00:12:09 we mustn't exaggerate
00:12:11 Under this current government of
00:12:14 we are behaving as if
00:12:17 at absolutely all costs.
00:12:18 So every day we do something
00:12:22 Do you really think that is true?
00:12:23 What did you have in mind?
00:12:25 To give you one example,
00:12:29 I've heard the most
00:12:31 that we are trying
00:12:33 in accepting a gigantic secret loan,
00:12:37 which we will negotiate for them
00:12:40 so they might turn their armament
00:12:43 We are actually planning
00:12:46 That does sound truly bizarre,
00:12:48 Alexander fought in the war,
00:12:51 so I don't criticise him,
00:12:53 but not enough other people
00:12:56 It's up to young M Ps like me
00:12:59 which is leading us
00:13:01 That is...quite a claim, Mr. Haldane.
00:13:04 Yes, and I'm aware
00:13:07 the present leadership will stand
00:13:10 The present leadership
00:13:13 because he would stand up to Hitler.
00:13:15 He doesn't care
00:13:18 So I feel I have to do
00:13:21 to make sure Mr. Churchill
00:13:25 Come on Thursday.
00:13:28 The house will be empty
00:13:34 - Can you come? (LAUGHS)
00:13:36 I'll still be at Cranmore, I can come.
00:13:45 (BALCOMBE)
00:13:56 A very pleasant evening.
00:14:07 (HECTOR)
00:14:09 A strange, strange man.
00:14:13 (ENGINE STARTS)
00:14:23 Thank you
00:14:26 (DISTANT LAUGHTER)
00:14:28 - It wasn't spoilt by Hector?
00:14:32 I'm used to his fiery outbursts.
00:14:36 And there is the possibility
00:14:41 Will you read to me, darling?
00:14:45 What would you like me to read?
00:14:48 It doesn't matter.
00:15:03 (ANNE)
00:15:05 "and a drowsy numbness
00:15:09 "as though of hemlock I had drunk,
00:15:13 "or emptied some dull opiate..."

00:15:19 (CAT MEOWS)
00:15:24 (CAT MEOWS)
00:15:37 (MEOWING CONTINUES)
00:15:49 Oh, Sonia.
00:15:55 (DOOR OPENS)
00:16:09 You've made me
00:16:13 What've you been doing
00:16:16 Reading Papa's manuscript
00:16:30 What are these doing here?
00:16:33 Been having a good listen,
00:16:37 (CHUCKLES)
00:16:39 (FOOTSTEPS)
00:16:42 Hello?
00:16:58 Mama?
00:16:59 - I found Sonia.
00:17:04 So much needs doing.
00:17:07 - You didn't see anyone pass by here?
00:17:12 It must have been
00:17:15 Look who I've found.
00:17:17 Ah!
00:17:20 She got into one of the sheds.
00:17:22 She didn't realise
00:17:25 I thought you knew that.
00:17:27 Grumpy old girl. So good you're back.
00:17:29 Look what I found there too.
00:17:32 One of your favourites, Papa!
00:17:34 (CELIA) She's been dancing
00:17:36 How odd. I don't think
00:17:39 - I wonder how that happened.
00:17:48 (MAN 1 ON RECORD)
00:17:50 (MAN 2)
00:17:53 I thought we dealt with that subject
00:17:56 and were allowing
00:17:59 There are various factors which have
00:18:02 (CHUCKLING) That's no foxtrot.
00:18:06 - (CHUCKLES)
00:18:08 I think this must be Joseph's doing.
00:18:11 Mr. Balcombe asked if he could store
00:18:15 They're drowning in paper,
00:18:17 The government needs
00:18:19 It seemed a harmless thing to do.
00:18:21 The reason he gave is interesting,
00:18:26 He said there were so few places
00:18:27 where one can trust
00:18:29 but knowing our servants,
00:18:31 He said that?
00:18:33 They hardly manage to clean the
00:18:37 People didn't count on
00:18:39 Why are they storing records
00:18:43 Which clearly are not.
00:18:45 That's probably their idea
00:18:49 "Let's call everything after a dance.
00:18:51 "That'll fool everybody, nobody
00:18:55 Since Munich they've been recording
00:18:58 because people's note-taking
00:19:01 But I had no idea we had some here.
00:19:06 (LAWRENCE)
00:19:09 (ANNE)
00:19:12 Not even the servants.
00:19:16 They've all gone to the fête.
00:19:20 Do we have to have George watching?
00:19:25 - That's Sonia.
00:19:28 Do we have to have her watching?
00:19:30 She likes to watch people make love.
00:19:36 How many people has she watched?
00:19:39 Oh, I've asked, but she's not telling.
00:19:56 (CAR DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES)
00:19:57 (GIRL) It's the way we always come,
00:20:00 Well, there appear to be
00:20:03 (SCOFFS)
00:20:05 - Shall I take it?
00:20:09 Aunt Elizabeth! What a surprise!
00:20:14 There's been
00:20:17 Which I hope is not inconvenient.
00:20:20 It has been quite
00:20:24 First, the ball at Blenheim Palace,
00:20:30 People said
00:20:32 Then there was the one
00:20:35 which was an awful crush, and
00:20:39 - No offence, my dear.
00:20:44 Actually, it was rather invigorating.
00:20:48 You're looking very well, my dear.
00:20:51 Positively glowing.
00:20:55 It must be the country air.
00:20:57 (LAUGHS)
00:21:00 (DISTANT CHATTERING
00:21:03 I'll see you in London.
00:21:06 Promise?
00:21:08 Of course.
00:21:14 Even though so much is happening,
00:21:16 nothing is going
00:21:48 You don't mind me
00:21:51 Of course not, Gilbert.
00:21:54 We won't work today.
00:21:56 It's always the bit players
00:21:58 Come on, Gilbert, no moaning today.
00:22:03 I'm looking forward
00:22:05 You're coming up for the weekend,
00:22:09 I'm honoured to be invited,
00:22:12 But I don't really feel
00:22:14 It's the same old part for me,
00:22:18 Phone call, Miss Keyes.
00:22:23 Hello?
00:22:25 - It's Lawrence.
00:22:27 - Have you heard the news?
00:22:30 Hector is dead.
00:22:33 What?
00:22:36 What happened? That's terrible.
00:22:38 I think he killed himself.
00:22:40 Oh, my God.
00:22:43 - It's in the newspaper.
00:22:46 He must have killed himself or...
00:22:48 Or what?
00:22:50 No, I... I can't talk on the telephone.
00:22:54 I'm going to Scotland to see
00:22:57 - As soon as I'm back...
00:23:00 Not long.
00:23:02 - When I'm back, I have to see you.
00:23:06 (LAWRENCE HANGS UP)
00:23:15 There you are. I thought you'd been
00:23:20 What's the matter?
00:23:22 Somebody I know has died.
00:23:31 Oh, yes. Hector Haldane.
00:23:34 Always thought
00:23:36 He was one of the young
00:23:39 speaking out against
00:23:42 I read one of his speeches once.
00:23:47 He's been calling for a change
00:23:53 (GILBERT)
00:23:55 He was a man of potential.
00:24:00 I saw him only 2 weeks ago.
00:24:06 (DOOR OPENS)
00:24:10 There you are, my dear!
00:24:14 I'm sorry I'm late.
00:24:17 You'll have a thrilling evening,
00:24:20 - Have you heard the news?
00:24:24 Poor Hector. It's terrible news.
00:24:26 He was so full of life.
00:24:30 (CHURCH BELL CHIMES)
00:24:33 So, Alexander.
00:24:35 I'm glad to see
00:24:40 The family still matters here, clearly.
00:24:48 You should've put a coat on, Celia.
00:24:51 (ALEXANDER)
00:24:54 - Do you know what happened?
00:24:56 Lawrence didn't tell me very much.
00:24:59 He said he thought Hector
00:25:03 It's possible. He was excitable.
00:25:07 But there was something
00:25:11 And very brave.
00:25:19 I'm so honoured
00:25:22 We're delighted to get
00:25:25 And we are all here.
00:25:27 You've already met Kathleen,
00:25:31 Oh, yes.
00:25:33 I hope you approve. I'm conducting
00:25:36 It's an anthem that reaches back
00:25:44 Let us hope
00:25:51 Are we allowed to wave at Walter?
00:25:56 You're still looking so pale, my dear.
00:26:01 Yes.
00:26:04 I was just thinking about
00:26:07 He works at the Home Office
00:26:10 He's in the secret service.
00:26:12 Is he?
00:26:14 Would he have taken
00:26:16 Very possibly, but I don't think
00:26:20 Bumped him off?
00:26:23 No, I didn't mean that, of course.
00:26:25 Mind you, he is rather spooky.
00:26:28 He seems a little odd, I admit,
00:26:32 It's just... Hector seemed
00:26:35 You can't just get rid
00:26:38 (CHOIR SINGING IN LATIN)
00:26:46 Both the 1st part...
00:26:49 and the 3rd part.
00:26:51 Forgive a statement that's obvious,
00:26:53 but evil has to be stood up to.
00:26:59 I'll ask Mr. Balcombe
00:27:02 he's got stored in our sheds.
00:27:04 It's not right
00:27:07 and we don't know what they are.
00:27:10 He can do it very soon.
00:27:13 We'll feed him up and then get him
00:27:21 What a splendid estate
00:27:24 It's no wonder you're so proud of it,
00:27:27 I remember hearing you speak
00:27:29 - about the wonders of nature.
00:27:33 It was inspiring.
00:27:34 (BABY CRYING)
00:27:43 I know I've seen you
00:27:46 1 or 2 performances
00:27:50 - Your porter, in Macbeth...
00:27:53 Drunken porter, as I remember.
00:27:56 Especially towards
00:28:00 Come on, everybody.
00:28:04 - Let's go to the mossy island.
00:28:07 I can't move!
00:28:09 We can't take the baby
00:28:12 It's all right. I'll stay here
00:28:15 Don't worry, Aunt Elizabeth,
00:28:18 We'll both sit
00:28:26 (FLIES BUZZING)
00:28:35 (BABY BABBLES)
00:28:39 I think I might stretch my legs
00:28:43 I'll lose all use of them
00:28:44 if I don't get out
00:29:18 (LAWRENCE)
00:29:20 (ANNE)
00:29:34 (ANNE SIGHS)
00:29:47 Oliver?
00:29:54 They must have come back for him.
00:29:59 Oliver?
00:30:02 Oliver!
00:30:09 Hello!
00:30:14 Papa!
00:30:16 Have you got Oliver with you?!
00:30:19 Papa?
00:30:25 Walter! Didn't you hear me?
00:30:26 Have they got Oliver with them?
00:30:28 - No. YOU'VE got Oliver.
00:30:31 Somebody must've come back
00:30:35 He's not on the mossy island.
00:30:38 (TWIG SNAPS)
00:30:41 Hello? Who's that?
00:30:45 Walter, go back and get them all,
00:30:49 Go and get them all right now.
00:31:00 (PANTING)
00:31:07 (BABY CRYING)
00:31:10 Oliver!
00:31:18 (BABY CONTINUES CRYING)
00:31:26 (ECHOING)
00:31:31 Who's got Oliver?!
00:31:42 (BABY CRYING)
00:32:03 (GASPS)
00:32:05 Walter! What are you doing here?
00:32:08 I've done that. They're all
00:32:12 - Are you playing a game, Walter?
00:32:15 Did you move Oliver?
00:32:18 I told you, I am not playing a game.
00:32:22 Tell me where Oliver is.
00:32:26 (ALEXANDER)
00:32:30 There she is.
00:32:33 - Have you got Oliver?
00:32:35 He's gone!
00:32:36 I was just there, and
00:32:39 - and the pushchair vanished!
00:32:43 - He can't have gone far.
00:32:45 - Oh, my God!
00:32:48 If we all fan out,
00:32:51 I'm so sorry!
00:32:52 - Oliver!
00:32:57 I think we should take this path.
00:33:00 But I've looked here. Of course I have.
00:33:02 We're following the path!
00:33:04 - I've been down this path.
00:33:07 Everything's going to be all right.
00:33:09 He's not anywhere here.
00:33:14 (ALL SHOUTING FOR OLIVER)
00:33:17 Oliver!
00:33:29 Oh, my God! Oh, thank God!
00:33:31 (RALPH)
00:33:34 (BABY CRYING)
00:33:35 Here he is, safe and sound.
00:33:42 I'm sorry!
00:33:45 (ELIZABETH)
00:33:48 I don't know. I really don't know. I...
00:33:51 I must have fallen asleep
00:33:56 - Somebody moved him.
00:33:59 Maybe you were concentrating
00:34:03 - you walked with him, not realising.
00:34:06 - I didn't move him!
00:34:10 - You said you fell asleep.
00:34:13 I didn't move him,
00:34:19 I did not move him!
00:34:23 He did have a hell of a lot
00:34:27 I hear they've got
00:34:29 to take several tons
00:34:32 and put it in his basement!
00:34:33 They're so worried
00:34:36 they'd rather put it
00:34:38 What excuse did you give, Papa,
00:34:41 I said in winter the sheds all leak.
00:34:43 I didn't move the baby.
00:34:46 - I do.
00:34:49 - It was Walter.
00:34:51 - Why would he do that?
00:34:54 Perhaps he'd had wine
00:34:57 Or somebody
00:34:59 Why would they do that, darling?
00:35:01 To make me seem unreliable,
00:35:04 He knows I'm friends
00:35:07 I think we should let Mr. Balcombe
00:35:11 and just not invite him again - ever.
00:35:14 We want to be sure we get rid of him,
00:35:16 which I'm sure we can do.
00:35:18 We've lost a terrific chance
00:35:24 - So, I think that is everything.
00:35:28 I believe so, yes.
00:35:32 And there's nothing left behind
00:35:36 - In the house?
00:35:38 No.
00:35:41 No. I don't know of anything.
00:35:51 - (KNOCKING)
00:35:56 I just wanted to see how you are.
00:35:59 I'm absolutely fine.
00:36:02 Of course not.
00:36:04 Anyway, the spooky man
00:36:07 Papa says we're returning
00:36:10 - Really?
00:36:11 Because Parliament
00:36:14 It's a bit of a crisis, apparently.
00:36:15 But I think it's terrific we're going.
00:36:18 Nowadays I can't stand it
00:36:24 No disrespect to Sonia.
00:36:29 You'll forgive me, won't you?
00:36:31 I really miss Horatio.
00:36:35 (MEOWS)
00:36:38 (MAID) Oh, Sir Alexander!
00:36:41 The house is not aired!
00:36:43 We had no idea you were
00:36:46 And Mrs. Hardiman is not back
00:36:49 (ALEXANDER)
00:36:51 We live in unpredictable times.
00:36:53 We can manage without Mrs. Hardiman.
00:36:55 And there is this awful racket
00:36:58 They're getting ready for a party.
00:36:59 - There's been banging all day long.
00:37:03 As long as they don't
00:37:05 And remember to invite us.
00:37:07 (DANCE MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY)
00:37:17 It doesn't seem to be
00:37:20 The house all wrapped up like this.
00:37:22 - No.
00:37:25 (DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
00:37:29 Glorious... I know
00:37:34 but with my new job,
00:37:37 and I know who to ask
00:37:41 So...only if you wish it, of course,
00:37:44 but I could find out
00:37:48 - You could?
00:37:57 I don't know if I want to know.
00:38:00 For some reason,
00:38:03 who my real parents are.
00:38:06 I don't think about it much any more.
00:38:10 It's a big decision.
00:38:20 (DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)
00:38:23 Oh, Betty. There used to be another
00:38:27 Whatever happened to that?
00:38:29 Oh, that old thing?
00:38:43 (MAN ON RECORD) We're clear which
00:38:46 and which remain
00:38:49 I think we're all agreed
00:38:52 reports that we've had back
00:38:55 at the next meeting.
00:38:57 The individual reports
00:38:59 are number 10, 15 and 22.
00:39:10 (AGITATED MAN) nothing more to say!
00:39:13 And you've got to stop!
00:39:16 (MAN 1) We're just reminding you,
00:39:19 That information is private!
00:39:22 People do all sorts of things
00:39:24 And if I have, I have!
00:39:27 I just want you to stop calling me
00:39:30 (MAN 1) We wanted you to realise
00:39:34 and it is best for you to listen to us.
00:39:36 (HECTOR) I cannot believe
00:39:39 I want you to stop calling
00:39:41 DO YOU HEAR ME?
00:39:43 You have to agree to that! My father is ill!
00:39:45 He cannot stand it! You have no right...
00:39:47 (CRASHES)
00:39:49 I'm so sorry, miss. I had no idea
00:39:52 I didn't realise you might want
00:39:56 Don't worry, Betty. It's my fault.
00:40:00 I had to listen to something
00:40:10 - Going out, Papa?
00:40:13 Yes. To the club,
00:40:16 where the atmosphere
00:40:18 I need to talk to you,
00:40:21 Not now, darling.
00:40:24 The world goes on moving
00:40:27 and I am not at all sure
00:40:30 - More gramophone records, I see.
00:40:33 I thought you gave everything back
00:40:38 What is that?
00:40:39 - This is a real foxtrot, for once.
00:40:44 Good.
00:40:46 We don't want to give Mr. Balcombe
00:40:50 No, that would not be good.
00:40:56 We'll talk...when this crisis is over.
00:40:59 (DANCE MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY)
00:41:03 I love them having a party next door
00:41:06 Is the balloon going up? Now?
00:41:10 I should have listened to the wireless.
00:41:12 It may or may not be going up.
00:41:14 Should we be held
00:41:17 Do we really want to go to war for them?
00:41:20 Can this be happening all over again?
00:41:23 That's what's going on.
00:41:25 They're all travelling back from
00:41:29 It's as bad as that.
00:41:33 You go on making your movie.
00:41:37 I can't just do that,
00:41:39 No, this is good advice.
00:41:41 It's an absolutely splendid thing
00:41:49 They're not going to do our scene
00:41:53 Not today? I don't believe it!
00:41:55 We will never be needed.
00:41:57 The weather's not right, apparently.
00:41:59 I've managed to get my father's
00:42:04 Will you come home with me, Gilbert?
00:42:06 Who could resist such an invitation?
00:42:09 I want to play you something, in private.
00:42:12 It's this gramophone record.
00:42:14 You're much better informed
00:42:16 Flattery as well! Today is looking up.
00:42:19 We just have to pick up
00:42:24 (ANNE)
00:42:25 This is the way to travel
00:42:33 Always dreamt
00:42:35 Hasn't happened yet.
00:42:39 Not even once.
00:42:42 (GILBERT)
00:42:45 for no one has any idea
00:42:51 So, what's the tune
00:42:54 It's not a tune, it's a conversation.
00:43:07 It's a recording of a meeting.
00:43:09 I found it among things Mr. Balcombe
00:43:13 There was another record as well,
00:43:17 The man who killed himself?
00:43:20 It's broken. It got smashed.
00:43:22 Since the baby and the pushchair,
00:43:25 When did I say that?
00:43:27 I know it's my fault I haven't read
00:43:30 being too bound up with my work.
00:43:32 It's conceivable the secret service
00:43:35 the conversations
00:43:39 - That is possible?
00:43:42 Yes, and that spying
00:43:44 could be used to put pressure
00:43:47 To blackmail them into silence,
00:43:50 - That too is possible, if risky.
00:43:52 because they wouldn't wish that
00:43:55 No! Imagine what the supporters
00:43:58 would do with information like that.
00:44:00 It would bring down
00:44:02 Churchill would become Prime Minister,
00:44:04 that would lead to a bolder approach
00:44:07 Blackmail. Well, I never.
00:44:10 Although it's...possible, of course,
00:44:14 are taking things further
00:44:17 Is that what's on that recording?
00:44:19 Oh, no, no.
00:44:23 But I thought perhaps you would know
00:44:26 Why would they record a boring meeting?
00:44:28 Perhaps because somebody
00:44:31 and they didn't want notes taken?
00:44:32 That's just
00:44:35 But now, if war comes,
00:44:38 On the contrary, my dear,
00:44:42 Some of these people don't want a war.
00:44:45 They don't want Winston Churchill
00:44:48 They want this country to be left alone.
00:44:50 They don't care
00:44:52 as long as this lovely place
00:44:55 They'll want to make peace
00:44:58 maybe at any price,
00:45:00 and give Hitler
00:45:05 But we shouldn't worry.
00:45:06 We will be looking down at everybody
00:45:09 dressed in ludicrous Victorian dress.
00:45:13 That is, if we ever get our call.
00:45:55 (RALPH)
00:46:00 There you are!
00:46:02 You're so early. You're much too early.
00:46:06 It is nearly 3 o'clock
00:46:08 You missed something gorgeous.
00:46:11 There were exotic birds
00:46:14 And Aunt Elizabeth is still here.
00:46:16 Like me, she hasn't slept all night.
00:46:22 So you've been up all night,
00:46:25 Yes. Still to go to bed!
00:46:28 I stayed up with the young people.
00:46:30 Haven't done that for years.
00:46:34 I was meant to go hours ago,
00:46:37 - (CHUCKLES)
00:46:39 Just the person I want to see.
00:46:41 - I am?
00:46:44 and hear what I've got to tell you.
00:46:49 I've been tidying up my house,
00:46:53 in case we have to run like mice,
00:46:54 and you'll never guess
00:46:57 My whole collection
00:46:59 - many of them featuring you.
00:47:02 Mm. You in Richard II
00:47:08 Marvellous! I'd love to see them.
00:47:10 (WHISPERS)
00:47:11 You'll have to come with me now,
00:47:13 because if this irritating war
00:47:16 the whole thing will get scattered.
00:47:18 You don't mind coming to my little
00:47:21 - Not at all. That'd be thrilling.
00:47:23 My career in theatre programmes.
00:47:27 - I was superstitious.
00:47:29 - Milk?
00:47:30 We had an appointment.
00:47:35 Yes... Give me what you want me
00:47:39 the record, and I'll listen to it
00:47:42 (RALPH) I'd love to have seen
00:47:45 (RALPH LAUGHS)
00:47:48 What? I didn't say anything.
00:47:52 (BIRDS CHIRPING)
00:48:01 (DIRECTOR)
00:48:04 Where the hell is Mr. Williams?
00:48:13 I'm late.
00:48:18 I'm late.
00:48:20 Well, come on! Come on, Gilbert!
00:48:25 - Where've you been?
00:48:30 (DIRECTOR) We have to go
00:48:33 It's clouding over, we're losing
00:48:36 Mark it, please House of Cheyney,
00:48:44 (DIRECTOR) Action!
00:48:45 Uncle, I know you said not to take
00:48:51 But the master has been so kind
00:48:55 (GILBERT)
00:48:59 I know you have your eye on him.
00:49:01 But he is engaged to another
00:49:04 and, however much you hope,
00:49:10 You should listen to me, Jenny.
00:49:13 (DIRECTOR) Cut! Everyone,
00:49:18 Apparently...
00:49:20 I'm not quite sure how to put it.
00:49:23 - We're now at war.
00:49:25 We're at war with Germany.
00:49:27 So it's happened.
00:49:29 This news is very shocking,
00:49:32 I've asked for a wireless to be sent up,
00:49:35 and when it arrives,
00:49:37 take an early tea break.
00:49:39 But for now, we'll pick up
00:49:42 Roll up. Action!
00:49:44 - Do you understand, Anne?
00:49:47 Which bit do you think
00:49:50 That we're at war,
00:49:52 Come on, for God's sake! Action!
00:49:54 - (ANNE) Thank you.
00:50:01 You're not waiting for me,
00:50:03 I'm sorry. It was a very long day.
00:50:05 - We've been watching the door.
00:50:08 But we thought
00:50:11 We thought today of all days
00:50:15 "Thy love is better
00:50:20 "Richer than wealth,
00:50:24 "Of more delight
00:50:29 "And having thee,
00:50:38 (VOMITING)
00:50:42 Goodness, Mick!
00:50:44 What did you do last night?
00:51:42 (GUNSHOT)
00:51:44 (OFFICER)
00:51:48 Come along.
00:51:51 - (GASPS)
00:52:10 I was just taking him his tea.
00:52:12 I was only a couple of minutes late.
00:52:14 He wasn't in his dressing room.
00:52:19 They say it looks like he shot himself...
00:52:21 They said I shouldn't ask but...
00:52:24 - Did you see a note?
00:52:27 - So you didn't see a note?
00:52:30 I was only a tiny bit late
00:52:35 And I can't get through
00:52:38 I've called and called.
00:52:40 It would be terrible
00:52:46 - (WOMAN) Yes?
00:52:49 Putting you through.
00:52:54 I'm... sorry, I made a mistake.
00:52:57 Mr. Newbolt is not here.
00:53:00 To Paris?
00:53:04 He WAS in Scotland, and now
00:53:08 This morning?
00:53:10 - When will he be back?
00:53:15 (THUNDER RUMBLES)
00:53:28 (KNOCKING)
00:53:30 I've just seen the dreadful news
00:53:35 I am so sorry.
00:53:42 - You must be so upset.
00:53:48 It was horrible.
00:53:53 Does anybody know what happened?
00:53:55 They say he shot himself.
00:54:02 But there wasn't a note.
00:54:04 I waited for hours to see
00:54:05 if they would find a note from him,
00:54:08 - And they didn't.
00:54:12 It's an extraordinarily
00:54:16 for me too.
00:54:21 It seems it was so recent,
00:54:26 and having been
00:54:28 having fought in that delightful show,
00:54:31 I can tell you
00:54:37 I know a lot of people are very confused.
00:54:42 And I don't want to seem
00:54:45 You're an actress.
00:54:49 - (CHUCKLES) Yes, that's true.
00:54:54 full of your stories and drawings,
00:54:59 Your comic knights and their adventures.
00:55:01 Yes, and so I don't want it to seem
00:55:04 I understand.
00:55:06 And Gilbert may have killed himself.
00:55:12 What if something else is going on?
00:55:16 Why would they
00:55:19 It doesn't seem likely, darling,
00:55:24 - I love you.
00:55:27 No one knows what each day
00:55:30 and that's very disconcerting.
00:55:32 It applies to me as well.
00:55:34 One thing is certain:
00:55:37 we won't let Mr. Balcombe
00:55:41 whatever he's up to.
00:55:43 I will keep you safe.
00:55:48 Some things
00:55:54 I just heard the news. It's awful.
00:55:59 It is amazing how much
00:56:02 It's incredible,
00:56:04 I thought I saw
00:56:08 A silver beast?
00:56:10 It was, in fact, a barrage balloon
00:56:12 but it was moving by itself
00:56:15 And they say 2 million people
00:56:20 And lots and lots of people
00:56:24 - Their pets?
00:56:26 Really? How awful!
00:56:28 Because they're leaving and
00:56:31 or because they feel
00:56:33 - I may be going to America.
00:56:37 - When are you going?
00:56:42 Things keeps changing, but at the
00:56:45 I should go there and try
00:56:49 Don't worry.
00:56:54 So can you go down to Norfolk
00:56:58 She's staying down there.
00:57:02 Your mother will join you
00:57:05 I just need to leave this garden
00:57:08 It would be good if you could
00:57:11 Yes. They just want me at the studio
00:57:19 Miss Keyes!
00:57:23 These were in your dressing room.
00:57:24 I don't know if you meant
00:57:27 I think the cigarette case is Mr. Williams'...
00:57:29 but I didn't know who else to give it to.
00:57:32 I didn't see this
00:57:35 It was in a cupboard right at the back.
00:57:37 It will be a shock seeing him again, Anne.
00:57:39 You'll find it distressing
00:57:40 seeing Mr. Williams
00:57:43 Yes, of course it's strange...
00:57:47 Yes, that's why I thought
00:57:50 get it done while we still can.
00:57:54 You just need to do your first line
00:57:59 Uncle, I know you said I shouldn't
00:58:04 (DIRECTOR) You look radiant
00:58:08 ..and it is a fine opportunity.
00:58:10 There will be other opportunities.
00:58:14 (DIRECTOR) Gilbert is a bit detached,
00:58:17 He wasn't quite there.
00:58:20 Obviously already decided
00:58:25 (ANNE REVOICES)
00:58:27 I shouldn't have taken the job...
00:58:28 Is that...?
00:58:34 Maybe you should watch
00:58:38 Perhaps we should have done that first.
00:58:40 (SOUND PLAYING BACKWARDS)
00:58:47 I know you have your eye on him.
00:58:49 But he is engaged to another,
00:58:53 that situation will not change.
00:58:58 You should listen to it again, Anne.
00:59:01 What... What the hell is he doing?
00:59:05 He's saying the wrong line.
00:59:09 Rewind. Rewind that.
00:59:12 (REEL REWINDS
00:59:20 You should listen to it again, Anne.
00:59:22 Did you hear that? "You should
00:59:26 Rewind again, please.
00:59:28 (REEL REWINDS)
00:59:31 The real line is,
00:59:34 He called you Anne instead of Jenny
00:59:38 You should listen to it again, Anne.
00:59:45 Anne.
00:59:48 Listen.
00:59:59 (RATTLING)
01:00:06 - Ah, you're here, Miss Anne.
01:00:13 There you are. I've been waiting
01:00:18 There's some miserable-looking
01:00:20 but the sandwiches look promising.
01:00:22 It's been a long journey.
01:00:31 (MAN)
01:00:33 that we set out and agreed upon
01:00:36 and how we might
01:00:39 And the 3rd objective
01:00:42 as important as ever
01:00:49 And I think it will simplify matters
01:00:52 under the same heading
01:00:56 Oh, Gilbert.
01:00:58 (BALCOMBE)
01:01:00 for applying the greatest pressure
01:01:04 - is coordinated in one place.
01:01:06 The operation that was mounted
01:01:10 has been successful and
01:01:13 And the 3rd one, on Hector Haldane,
01:01:16 is, I think, about to be achieved.
01:01:20 But we do now need to give
01:01:24 to ease communication amongst us.
01:01:26 (RALPH) Oh, I can give you a name.
01:01:30 I've got the perfect name.
01:01:35 We won't forget that in a hurry,
01:01:38 (BALCOMBE) "Thin Men Dancing"?
01:01:41 Where did that come from?
01:01:44 - No chance of confusion there!
01:01:51 No!
01:01:55 I've got the perfect name.
01:01:59 And let us see how much dancing
01:02:08 (SOBBING)
01:02:14 I did knock, miss.
01:02:18 Her Ladyship's wondering
01:02:28 Beatrice Townsend rang me yesterday.
01:02:30 She said at least there is
01:02:33 one won't have to wake up
01:02:35 wondering if one has got
01:02:40 But I expect the competition
01:02:43 will begin again very soon.
01:02:45 They won't let a small thing
01:02:51 Nor should they. Don't you agree?
01:02:53 I agree it will take
01:02:55 And we mustn't let it stop us either.
01:02:57 We must stick together down here,
01:03:00 or we will go absolutely mad.
01:03:02 We will do everything together -
01:03:04 listen to the wireless,
01:03:07 do everything like twin sisters.
01:03:10 Yes, Aunt Elizabeth.
01:03:12 Don't look so thoughtful, my dear.
01:03:14 But, of course, you have had
01:03:19 Poor Mr. Williams.
01:03:20 I hope it wasn't seeing

01:03:44 Can I have extension 182,
01:03:48 One moment.
01:03:54 I'm sorry,
01:03:58 (NEWS OVER RADIO)
01:04:01 You've broken the rules already,
01:04:05 We're going to do
01:04:09 Come in here and let's listen
01:04:13 and if we should take it seriously.
01:04:19 (ELIZABETH) I can usually only enjoy
01:04:24 But it is very peaceful here.
01:04:27 The war seems such a long way off.
01:04:31 Although, since no bombs
01:04:34 maybe London is this quiet.
01:04:41 Do you know
01:04:44 - Have you heard from him?
01:04:46 But then he dislikes using
01:04:54 We don't seem to be alone.
01:04:59 (ELIZABETH)
01:05:04 (ELIZABETH)
01:05:17 Just have to change my shoes, dear,
01:05:22 You've got my other shoes, haven't you?
01:05:24 - Let me help you.
01:05:32 I'm so glad you're here
01:05:36 Thank you.
01:05:43 And now I am going to spoil it all
01:05:49 Because if they go into the bag
01:05:51 they'll make these shoes
01:05:56 There's a scraper round the corner.
01:06:01 (TWIG SNAPS)
01:06:13 There you are, my dear.
01:06:14 I was just telling the vicar
01:06:16 we must do some fundraising
01:06:18 After all, it was our family
01:06:21 And what a good job they made of it.
01:06:24 Hopefully we will still be looking
01:06:27 It must be marvellous to end up
01:06:31 "To end up"?
01:06:34 Of course. A slip of the tongue.
01:06:37 I meant such an old, established
01:06:41 It must be such a good feeling.
01:06:43 (CHOIR SINGING IN LATIN)
01:07:37 (COUGHS)
01:07:42 I just have to get rid of this.

01:08:55 I have to go to London urgently.
01:08:57 - That car ain't safe, Miss Anne.
01:09:02 Get out of the way, Lucy!
01:09:06 Miss Anne, don't go! Miss Anne!
01:09:10 Don't go!
01:09:26 Come on. You're not
01:09:34 (HORN HONKING)
01:09:37 What the hell does he want?
01:10:06 Bloody farmers!
01:10:27 The road ahead is closed. There
01:10:31 You'll have to find another route through.
01:10:33 I'm going to London. How do I get there?
01:10:35 By another route.
01:10:37 Yeah. Thank you for that.
01:10:41 Where's that lorry that passed me?
01:10:43 You seem to have allowed
01:10:45 Could you switch
01:10:51 - Can I see your identity card?
01:10:54 - I don't have one.
01:10:57 From yesterday everyone
01:11:01 It's the law. There are no exceptions.
01:11:03 - I'm afraid I'll have to detain you.
01:11:08 I've been down at the film studio.
01:11:12 I really need to get to London today.
01:11:14 Without a card you're going nowhere.
01:11:17 I am the daughter of a Member
01:11:20 If you telephone him, or allow me...
01:11:22 Step out of the vehicle, please.
01:11:26 Move over to that side
01:11:35 Get into the vehicle.
01:11:44 I think you might at least
01:11:46 (CAR ENGINE STARTS UP)
01:12:07 (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
01:12:12 Can I ask you to come this way now?
01:12:16 We've had a lot of people like you today,
01:12:18 taking no notice of the regulations.
01:12:20 So this is what happens.
01:12:41 (ANNE)
01:12:47 I don't suppose you're going to tell me
01:12:50 how long I am going to be held here.
01:12:51 I wouldn't complain if I were you, miss.
01:12:55 We have the power now
01:12:59 - Did you know that?
01:13:03 Habeas corpus.
01:13:06 Do you know what
01:13:08 Of course... Of course I do.
01:13:12 Well, it doesn't exist any more. It's gone.
01:13:16 We can keep you as long as
01:13:19 Don't need to ask a judge any more,
01:13:22 Don't even need to tell anyone
01:13:30 (IN DISTINCT CHATTER)
01:13:55 Glorious! What are you doing?
01:13:59 Thank God you're here!
01:14:00 Papa got a call from these soldiers
01:14:04 They called the Houses of Parliament.
01:14:06 Aunt Elizabeth telephoned to say
01:14:09 like you were about to die
01:14:12 The vicar was heartbroken.
01:14:16 I had to...get away.
01:14:22 I've got a bit of a confession to make.
01:14:24 Although it won't come
01:14:28 I'm terribly in love.
01:14:31 I'm so in love with Lawrence,
01:14:33 I couldn't bear to be away from him,
01:14:37 I had this incredible urge to see him.
01:14:39 How wonderful, darling! That's fantastic!
01:14:43 That is pretty romantic, Glorious, yes.
01:14:46 There's a party tonight
01:14:49 and we've helped arrange it.
01:14:51 (RALPH) Nothing can stop the parties
01:14:54 It's all the ambassadors.
01:14:55 Lawrence is going to be there too.
01:15:00 He is?
01:15:01 Now you've been detained,
01:15:04 (RALPH) Dawson will drive your car
01:15:09 I thought it was dangerous to drive.
01:15:11 Apparently it is! That's why you
01:15:15 But Dawson's expendable, isn't he!
01:15:17 Lots more where you came from,
01:15:20 I get to drive the Rolls,
01:15:23 We're hosts to tonight's party,
01:15:26 Yes, including a hot bath for you, darling.
01:15:29 You look a real country girl like that!
01:15:36 You've time to have a really good
01:15:42 You see, everything's gone now.
01:15:46 And with the whole town blacked out,
01:15:50 Like being in another place
01:15:53 On the moon or something!
01:15:56 - You look so lovely.
01:16:00 I am the hostess
01:16:03 so I'm just a tiny bit nervous.
01:16:05 It's part of my new job.
01:16:06 I am attached
01:16:09 I am going to need to go a little early.
01:16:11 That's fine. I'll escort Anne.
01:16:15 All right. I must volunteer too.
01:16:18 I have to do something for the war effort.
01:16:19 Glorious, you don't have to do that.
01:16:22 - That's what you keep doing.
01:16:30 A lot of our childhood things
01:16:35 I'm not sure
01:16:42 (CAT MEOWS)
01:16:44 Do you recognise him?
01:16:46 Oh, yes, of course.
01:16:50 So, darling, this is a little bit nasty,
01:16:52 but Aunt Elizabeth wants him put down
01:16:54 because she's left London.
01:16:56 I was going to take him to the vet,
01:16:58 but now you're here, could you do it?
01:17:01 I'm needed at work, you see.
01:17:03 And I can't ask
01:17:07 And I would be so upset
01:17:10 - Will you do it?
01:17:21 You look so good, Glorious.
01:17:24 Here you are! So far, no disasters.
01:17:27 They haven't started throwing things?
01:17:29 Argentina has been extremely
01:17:32 Mr. Kennedy goes on about how much
01:17:36 and how everything is over for us
01:17:39 Darling, you must go downstairs
01:17:43 That's altogether more fun.
01:17:56 (ALEXANDER)
01:17:59 these little flags,
01:18:01 and somewhere on the map
01:18:04 - is some treasure!
01:18:06 So you stick your flag
01:18:09 and whoever is the nearest
01:18:13 (GASPING AND LAUGHTER)
01:18:15 So come on, everybody, take a flag.
01:18:17 (EXCITED SHOUTING)
01:18:19 Darling! There you are!
01:18:27 - It's terrific to see you.
01:18:31 - For leaving Norfolk?
01:18:34 Would you take this,
01:18:36 Children, Ralph here
01:18:39 Gladly. Just don't forget to
01:18:42 It's all the children
01:18:45 They don't know whether they'll be
01:18:49 - They don't know what's happening.
01:18:51 A bit like us, yes.
01:18:54 I should never have sent you
01:18:59 How could I have done that?
01:19:03 - (IN DISTINCT CHATTER)
01:19:04 Now you must go
01:19:09 Some jelly? Why?
01:19:10 (IN DISTINCT CHATTER)
01:19:18 (ANNE GASPS)
01:19:20 - Oh, Lawrence!
01:19:24 Oh, I didn't know
01:19:27 I didn't know
01:19:29 Yes, they suddenly
01:19:32 I am not cry... I'm not crying.
01:19:34 It's just, for a moment,
01:19:38 and I know it isn't.
01:19:40 Now then, when we've got
01:19:42 I think we should have
01:19:45 What about a song
01:19:47 - Everybody like the sound of that?
01:19:50 - Something terrible is going on.
01:19:54 - Ralph is involved.
01:19:56 You know?
01:19:57 Do you think he realises the
01:20:00 - Maybe he doesn't.
01:20:03 He's my brother.
01:20:08 I want to believe he couldn't.
01:20:10 What I've found out is that there's
01:20:13 and a motley collection of other people,
01:20:16 including some
01:20:18 who are trying to bring this war
01:20:22 They think we have no chance.
01:20:25 I think they killed my friend Gilbert.
01:20:27 - And they blackmailed Hector...
01:20:30 * Be there at our waking,
01:20:36 * Your bliss in our hearts, Lord,
01:20:41 They drove Hector to kill himself,
01:20:44 - I've got a recording of a meeting.
01:20:48 I don't have it here.
01:20:51 I really have to have it.
01:20:54 I must get it tomorrow.
01:20:56 We'll meet in the morning,
01:20:59 (SINGS SONG IN FRENCH)
01:21:06 I know. The vet's.
01:21:10 (SCOFFS) The vet?
01:21:12 I have to take a cat to be put down.
01:21:15 - Yes, that sounds rather perfect.
01:21:25 - It's all right. We are in love.
01:21:30 That's what I told him, and
01:21:38 Not in front of the children,
01:21:47 If we're to use your idea,
01:21:51 We can't use one that's near the house.
01:21:53 It has to be out of the way,
01:21:56 I'll do that now, use
01:22:00 - No, don't go.

01:22:06 * And he won the heart of a lady
01:22:16 Now we've started the singing,
01:22:18 we'll have to do every single country!
01:22:20 Not my most brilliant idea.
01:22:26 Come with me, Glorious.
01:22:27 - I've got something to show you.
01:22:30 Follow me. It's important.
01:22:38 It's such a big basement.
01:22:41 You've only seen a corner of it.
01:22:47 (SOUND OF TYPING)
01:22:54 Right. Come on in. This is Miss Semel.
01:22:56 - She's working late.
01:23:00 Now, we have 2 things
01:23:04 - Your identity card...
01:23:07 Splendid. I asked Ralph
01:23:10 Rather a long walk to get to it, though.
01:23:13 That's perfect. You have your card.
01:23:18 I'd better get back to
01:23:20 I've spent too much time
01:23:23 They're so much more interesting!
01:23:25 - I'll come with you.
01:23:28 - What is it?
01:23:32 I'm not running away.
01:23:37 I don't know.
01:23:39 I found out the other thing,
01:23:44 It seems a rather appropriate moment
01:23:47 If you want.
01:23:49 You mean about my parents?
01:23:52 Do you want to hear,
01:23:55 All right. Why not?
01:23:59 - Good night, Miss Semel.
01:24:02 I think you'll be pleased.
01:24:06 It explains your theatrical bent -
01:24:12 They were a Romany family.
01:24:15 Your parents were gypsies.
01:24:25 There are no pictures, sadly.
01:24:27 One of them
01:24:31 Maybe they had Russian blood.
01:24:34 Thank you.
01:24:40 I see nothing wrong
01:24:45 I think I'll go back to the party now.
01:25:01 Hello?
01:25:14 Walter!
01:25:16 How are you here?
01:25:18 YOU'RE here,
01:25:20 Why are you here?
01:25:22 I didn't realise you were
01:25:25 They thought I might be able
01:25:27 I'm sure you will be. Excuse me.
01:25:36 Anne!
01:25:39 - Don't you realise?
01:25:43 (WHISPERS)
01:26:03 Lawrence! Thank God it's you.
01:26:06 What is this? I wasn't that long.
01:26:11 - Here, have some more.
01:26:16 I have an address for you.
01:26:18 - You can find out anything here.
01:26:22 We'll meet there. Put the evidence
01:26:26 and address it
01:26:28 - Who?
01:26:31 (LAUGHS)
01:26:33 - Will they follow me there?
01:26:36 Keep an eye out, but I don't think so.
01:26:38 They won't follow you into the vet.
01:26:44 There you are, darling.
01:26:45 I'm off to take Bombardier
01:26:48 - Well, you know what for.
01:26:51 There may be lot of people there,
01:26:54 Anne, if it's not too much to ask,
01:26:57 I think you should take Horatio too.
01:27:01 Take our cat? Why?
01:27:03 If I'm going to the US next week,
01:27:09 I'll take Bombardier
01:27:11 has asked for that to happen.
01:27:13 I'll find another home for Horatio.
01:27:15 - I'm sure I can.
01:27:18 A lot of other people
01:27:20 They can be told
01:27:23 I find myself having to tell them
01:27:27 Anyway, we'll get Dawson
01:27:32 Come and sit with me
01:27:37 No, I'm the only one who's not
01:27:40 so I should do it,
01:27:43 I will take the cats to be put to sleep,
01:27:45 then I will come back and help you.
01:27:57 There's no school any more.
01:28:00 These children haven't been
01:28:05 We'll find Lawrence, but I won't
01:28:15 I will find a way.

01:28:45 Are you here to have your pets
01:28:47 I'm...meeting someone first.

01:29:44 I... I don't want to queue-jump.
01:29:48 Please, come in here, Miss Keyes.
01:29:50 And bring your cats with you, of course.
01:29:53 (DOG BARKS)
01:30:00 We're being inundated at the moment.
01:30:03 I think because we have the space
01:30:07 which you don't get
01:30:09 But it's amazing how quickly
01:30:12 - Why have I jumped the queue?
01:30:17 Agitated?
01:30:19 There are people crying out there.
01:30:23 We like people to be certain
01:30:26 and you seemed
01:30:28 Believe me, I can tell.
01:30:30 Well...maybe I just need
01:30:36 and until I meet my friend,
01:30:38 I thought so.
01:30:40 We have a little room,

01:35:18 I...need you to post this.
01:35:22 I'll... I'll give you some money.
01:35:27 You'll get a stamp for it?
01:35:32 It's really urgent.

01:36:22 I'll just leave it here, shall I?
01:36:31 Why are you here?
01:36:33 They found your number on the form
01:36:37 and phoned me
01:36:40 and when I got here you'd run out
01:36:44 Why did you come right out here,
01:36:50 I don't know.
01:36:54 I couldn't bear to do it near home.
01:36:58 - I let them go.
01:37:04 Well, why not?
01:37:07 It's terrible.
01:37:09 Look what's happened in just a few days.
01:37:13 It's like a vision of hell, isn't it?
01:37:17 Animals going onto a fire
01:37:22 The world's gone mad.
01:37:27 People are finding out
01:37:34 Maybe we need something stronger
01:37:39 Here, darling.
01:37:58 Are you aware...
01:38:04 They're doing something awful.
01:38:07 Who, darling?
01:38:12 Are you doing it too?
01:38:24 (CHURCH BELLS CHIME)
01:38:31 Darling, you're back with us.
01:38:35 This noise doesn't help, does it?
01:38:41 You're in Aunt Elizabeth's house.
01:38:42 (SLURRING)
01:38:45 (RALPH) Our home is being used
01:38:48 This is Mrs. Knight.
01:38:51 She will look after you.
01:38:59 (CHURCH BELL CHIMES)
01:39:20 (RALPH)
01:39:38 Where are you going?
01:39:46 (RALPH) Don't you realise?
01:39:49 to feel there's no hope.
01:39:52 That way we can do our deal
01:40:00 (SCREAMS)
01:40:02 Get out!
01:40:05 (IN DISTINCT CHATTER)
01:40:10 (GASPING)
01:40:22 What is happening to me?
01:40:30 This is just so you can rest,
01:40:33 You've been ill. You must get better.
01:40:38 Are they poisoning me?
01:40:40 Poisoning you?
01:40:42 Of course not, darling.
01:40:46 I can still remember
01:40:50 When you arrived to be with us,
01:40:56 You came in a taxi with a nurse.
01:41:00 And when I held you and felt you
01:41:06 it was the most beautiful present.
01:41:13 I could never let harm come to that.
01:41:16 So you loved me then?
01:41:20 "Then"? I love you!
01:41:25 (CHURCH BELLS CHIME)
01:41:38 I thought you'd never wake up.
01:41:41 I wish I hadn't.
01:41:45 You're not eating your food, I see.
01:41:49 Your father
01:41:52 My father?
01:41:56 - I don't believe you.
01:41:58 He and I are working together.
01:42:04 Your father
01:42:07 Charmingly absent-minded,
01:42:10 He hides his true seriousness, my dear,
01:42:13 except from those of us
01:42:18 This recording of our meeting,
01:42:21 the one you tried to post,
01:42:26 I am sure you knew that, my dear.
01:42:32 All the records were for him.
01:42:34 Why else would they
01:42:38 It's a little hot, isn't it?
01:42:50 We're using your house in London
01:42:54 Your father is chairing those meetings.
01:42:59 That is why you are here.
01:43:02 How simple it is,
01:43:09 Are you going to kill me?
01:43:12 My dear,
01:43:15 Even for an actress!
01:43:17 Really! The adopted daughter
01:43:19 What could have given you such an idea?
01:43:37 (INTERFERENCE ON RADIO)
01:43:47 (SWITCHES RADIO OFF)
01:43:58 - What happened to her?
01:44:00 Yes, I think you do.
01:44:05 (CHURCH BELLS CHIME)
01:44:07 You are a little feverish,
01:44:11 Hot and cold flushes.
01:44:15 - You've got a temperature.
01:44:19 You're mistaken, darling.
01:44:23 I would never let him come back.
01:44:25 We don't need to see
01:44:32 So quiet, isn't it? No children, no pets.
01:44:37 It's the most peculiar thing,
01:44:42 Except for the horrid bells.
01:44:43 They're talking about stopping
01:44:46 till the end of the war.
01:44:47 Talk about a silver lining!
01:44:54 Now we need to find you
01:44:58 I am not eating anything
01:45:00 until you stop putting
01:45:14 (DOOR CLOSES)
01:45:19 Mr. Balcombe was here. I didn't dream it.
01:45:24 He had Lawrence killed.
01:45:27 You're feverish, darling.
01:45:29 You let that man come back
01:45:42 This war is a terrible thing, my dear.
01:45:48 As you know, I hate exaggeration,
01:45:50 but everything we believe in,
01:45:54 everything I believe in -
01:45:58 will be destroyed if we get involved
01:46:06 I certainly don't sympathise
01:46:10 In fact, I rather despise it.
01:46:12 But there is absolutely no chance
01:46:20 We will be completely destroyed
01:46:26 And we are working
01:46:33 Nothing must disturb that.
01:46:37 Ralph understands this.
01:46:44 But somehow I knew...you wouldn't.
01:46:52 So we have to keep you here.
01:46:56 - To do what with?
01:47:02 I couldn't share
01:47:04 what I need to do for this country.
01:47:09 Maybe there are 2 sorts of love.
01:47:15 I don't want to be made to choose.
01:47:28 (GRUNTING)
01:47:35 Mama?
01:47:38 (SIGHS)
01:47:42 Mama!
01:47:47 (VOICES OUTSIDE)
01:47:49 (CRIES OUT IN FRUSTRATION)
01:47:51 (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
01:47:54 You've turned into a proper hostess
01:47:57 - Ralph can go.
01:47:59 Someone has to be here for Anne.
01:48:02 (RALPH) Nobody would listen to Anne.
01:48:06 But it is best we do this.
01:48:07 It's simple. We bring Mrs. Knight
01:48:10 Mrs. Knight will get something down her
01:48:12 that will keep her quiet,
01:48:14 We can have an outing
01:48:17 - (CELIA LAUGHS)
01:48:21 You are nothing to do with me!
01:48:34 You will not bring
01:48:37 You think I'm going to let that bitch
01:48:40 I will not let that fucking woman
01:48:45 Why are you looking like that?
01:48:50 I'm not frightened of you!
01:48:53 Remember, I am the child of gypsies!
01:48:55 It was bound to come out sooner or later,
01:48:57 what I'm really like!
01:48:59 That's what YOU think, isn't it!
01:49:05 Darling...
01:49:06 Don't you fucking "darling" me,
01:49:10 You are nothing to do with me!
01:49:13 This is not the way, Glorious.
01:49:16 Will you just leave me alone with her?
01:49:23 (DOOR CLOSES)
01:49:30 Why don't you ever do what you're told?
01:49:33 Why do you insist
01:49:36 Because, in the end, what you never
01:49:40 Nothing that really mattered!
01:49:44 You would not listen to me, would you?
01:49:47 I told you to get on with your life.
01:49:50 And now look at you. Look at you!
01:49:57 We just have to stop
01:49:59 and it's all over.
01:50:05 (CELIA)
01:50:07 (DOOR IS LOCKED)
01:50:09 (RALPH)
01:50:12 (GRUNTING)
01:50:37 It would depend on the condition.
01:50:39 (LAUGHS)
01:50:40 (IN DISTINCT CHATTER)
01:50:52 I'll never let you go away again.
01:51:16 (GASPS)
01:51:19 Bombardier!
01:51:22 You can't get in,
01:51:33 (SOBS)
01:51:50 (AIR-RAID SIRENS)
01:52:07 (THUD)
01:52:14 Anyone there?
01:52:25 (CHILDREN PLAYING OUTSIDE)
01:52:50 Mama, did you open the door?
01:52:56 Thank you, Mama.
01:53:01 Go.
01:53:05 (SIGHS)
01:53:24 - Walter.
01:53:29 I need to get away from here.
01:53:30 Come this way. I'll find you a taxi.
01:53:33 I will.
01:53:37 (CHILDREN PLAYING)
01:53:40 Who are those children?
01:53:42 I thought all the children had been
01:53:46 They have.
01:53:57 (IN DISTINCT CHATTERING)
01:54:07 There they are.
01:54:25 We're just giving the ambassadors'
01:54:28 - Come and help.
01:54:33 Anne! Come here, darling.
01:54:40 Come to me.
01:55:25 (CHURCH BELL CHIMES)
01:55:28 - And none of us saw her again.
01:55:32 She died, I believe, in Canada
01:55:36 (OLIVER)
01:55:45 No words of condemnation for me?
01:55:54 No. You were...
01:55:56 (OLIVER)
01:55:58 And it was such a long time ago.
01:56:05 I just did what they wanted.
01:56:09 I did what Mr. Balcombe
01:56:18 They said she needed
01:56:31 I was only doing what was expected.
01:56:35 It was a very strange time back then.
01:56:42 I even tried to warn her.
01:56:47 They've all gone now.
01:56:51 Can't trouble us.
01:56:53 Can't trouble Walter.
01:56:58 Yes. I must go.
01:57:02 There is just one thing, a little favour.
01:57:05 Another one?
01:57:08 My mother arranged
01:57:10 She would have been waiting a
01:57:14 If you could just come and say hello,
01:57:19 Please. Will you come?

01:58:11 Dear God! It's impossible!
01:58:35 Walter, Oliver... This is my mother.
01:58:40 And this...is Anne Keyes.
01:58:45 It's good to meet you again, gentlemen.
01:58:48 It's so very good.
01:58:51 Anne.
01:58:54 I had no idea, no idea at all.
01:58:57 No idea that I was still here?
01:59:01 No, I know you didn't.
01:59:04 You knew all along.
01:59:07 You knew!
01:59:09 We wanted to hear it from your own lips.
01:59:11 I just wanted to say hello again.
01:59:16 Since we are family.
