Part 4 of 7 of the period drama from 1973. Anna is out of her mind with worry when Brian goes missing, but she is also suspicious about Rachel's increasing visits to Nick and confronts him about it. Jacob has Brian at the Kepple house, having kidnapped him from the Whit Week parade, but Brian is running up a fever. And Jacob is surprised by a visitor, who turns out to be Joe Kepple's daughter Jenny, but she has her own reason for coming to Manchester. Meanwhile Rachel meets Sir George Faunt in a posh restaurant, and it is there that she learns why he is so estranged from his son Nick. But it's not the only shock in store for her as Sir George becomes ever more infatuated by her.

11:06thank you
11:16thank you
11:20Rachel Rosie
11:21it's a charming name
11:23it's too illiterative
11:25it's like something out of a nursery rhyme
11:27Jewish?
11:30yes
11:30yes I thought perhaps you might be
11:32do you mind?
11:34oh good lord no
11:35why should I mind?
11:38there that's one reason why I don't mind
11:39very few English women could make that little gesture
11:42in just that way
11:44so perfectly
11:45I like a woman to have perfect unconscious gestures
11:49you really do go out of your way to say pleasant things to me
11:52oh hardly
11:53I mean you're speaking the truth
11:55the truth my dear Miss Rosie
11:57not the learned by roach catechism of an habitual philanderer
12:01well I hoped we'd already established that
12:05we have
12:05then why the defensiveness?
12:08it becomes instinctive
12:09as a woman or as a Jew?
12:11both
12:12neither Jews nor women have the entire prerogative on vulnerability
12:16when they happen to combine in the same body they've got a hell of a good start
12:20well I must admit
12:24when I came into this place I was in a foul mood
12:26yes I'd had a stupid upset too
12:29it's funny how you can think you want to think quite badly
12:33and suddenly discover you want something entirely different after all
12:36I usually know exactly what I want
12:39right from the start
12:41well unfortunately we can't all be that decisive
12:44well it's not so very difficult
12:46I shall have to take some lessons
12:48then did
12:48beginning tonight?
12:50tonight?
12:51when we dine together
12:52well what did Piggy say?
13:18he'll be back later they said
13:21how late's later?
13:24well midnight
13:26at the very least
13:28uh-huh
13:29so
13:31can he stop?
13:36can Brian stop?
13:38don't know about that so much
13:39you what?
13:40another mouth to feed
13:41he's only asking for one night for god's sake
13:44we don't know that though
13:45that mother of his has vanished out of his life before for months on end if what Moore says is true
13:52we might just get stuck with him
13:53and you're that badly fixed?
13:55unemployment pays 15 bob a week
13:58sometimes Moe picks up the odd sixpence minding a lorry in the fish market
14:02I earn a bob or two washing up, skivvying
14:04that's in a lucky week
14:06mostly we...
14:07Olga
14:07never mind, Olga in
14:10she's old enough to know the facts of life, isn't she?
14:13aye, we survived but there's not much to spare
14:16I can chip him with a couple of quid
14:18never mind
14:18we've managed so far
14:20well
14:21aye, all right
14:24it can stop
14:25well you don't think I'd throw him on the corporation muck tip, do you?
14:28aye
14:29hey, but listen you
14:30you must do something about finding his man first thing in the morning
14:33now do you understand me, Moe?
14:35I will, Olga
14:36I will
14:37how is he now?
14:42temperature's coming down
14:43I got him some stuff at the chemist
14:45never knew I'm Flo Nightingale as well as Jean Arlo, did you?
14:49she's been training for a nurse
14:50what a proper
14:51was, sweetheart
14:52Jenny Wren's not sweating her guts out 24 hours around the bleeding clock for the wages of a skivvy
14:57no
14:58nurses
14:59nurses should get
15:00solid gold they should get
15:02aye, but that's the road that got us all trapped, isn't it?
15:06go on, it's the capitalist system
15:08bloody lousy organisation

18:44there you go
19:07my dear you're ready where are we going you look at the Midland of course
19:37beautiful you so you don't regret not going to the theater oh I'd much rather be here
19:58hmm it is peaceful I'm not mad about crowds besides I prefer I know
20:06conversation to compliment no no I adore both actually if they're from the right person
20:13no I was going to say I prefer to be involved I agree far more exciting much better than a
20:21spectator just a voyeur such a waste except for those who need to escape you don't I do quite
20:30often there's something I must tell you I know a jealous husband lover neither no vast hordes of
20:41devoted admirers not even a minute horde I told you I'm a working girl you can't build up a new
20:46business and be a social butterfly and then I'm delighted that tonight's an exception and so is
20:51this afternoon when I smiled at you I mean that's not something I do habitually either please no it
20:58wasn't for the reason you imagined I imagined nothing I was far too enchanted thank you but I
21:06should have should have explained only I was suddenly too embarrassed you obviously didn't
21:11recognize me recognize him we met at the town hall reception the one for the art gallery exhibitors
21:19impossible oh well perhaps met is the wrong word I saw you there I mistakenly thought you'd seen me
21:27also how could I not have done there are a great many people and I missed the only one worth meeting
21:35the fact is I find those things rather a bore I left early I know so no more mental reservations
21:44there were none oh come on now you're relieved to hear I'm not a loose woman after all
21:50where are you as a matter of fact I was just about to offer you a job as my 500th concubine
21:58and the unfortunately Miss Rosie we don't like crowds according to the chat that night Nicholas
22:16is thought to be quite an exceptional young artist I don't know you knew my son no I don't you must be
22:23very proud of him we have nothing to do with one another Nick and I oh I'm sorry I had no idea
22:31forgive me there's nothing to forgive how could you know all such a damn stupid affair they usually
22:40are told the game with a girl it's any couple she was a pretty enough little thing quite the it type
22:48in fact and couldn't really blame Nick I suppose anyway cut it short there was a devil of a lot of
22:57trouble it wasn't just her pregnancy if she'd been one of his own kind things could have been smoothed
23:07over well enough I do say his own kind she was one of our housemates as it was Nick felt that he was
23:14being bullied and put under pressure you know the kind of thing cleared out never been near me since
23:21but I suppose he still sees his mother my wife died three years ago that's a waste when one looks back
23:32then don't look forward yes yes it's an altogether happier view
24:02is that the time how long has this been out I let it go
24:19they were short of call for upstairs Jenny said the um kid had freeze
24:28where was it washed up pots before it's not something you die of
24:34five hours solid on your feet any road I'll be lady muck tomorrow they're cutting down

26:56he couldn't get off your bum and go out and look for him I don't suppose
26:59I have looked the police are looking and they're far better equipped than I am
27:02oh a true miracle of modern efficiency I suppose that would be why they haven't found him
27:06somebody will have safe and sound warm and fed under somebody's roof and handed in in the morning
27:12look in your crystal ball Mr Oracle tell me if you can't see another picture
27:18small boy floating down the air what could it be

29:59Out.
30:00I've only just come in.
30:02You did see Piggy?
30:03I told you I did.
30:04And you've got the addresses.
30:05Well, for God's sake, man, you have to go.
30:08You can't bloody well keep him.
30:10Well, can you?
30:10Sweet Jesus, it's kidnapping.
30:25I could have you sent to strange ways, you know that?
30:27But Piggy wasn't back till just now.
30:29And what the hell is Piggy to do with it?
30:31Only one knew where you lived.
30:33I suppose telling the police never cross that peas pudding you use for a mind.
30:38No, no, it wouldn't.
30:39Nor none of that stinking mob of anarchists you live with.
30:41I never thought of the police.
30:43Never thought and took 20 bloody years off my life in the doing.
30:50I'm sorry, Anna.
30:52Oh, what's the use of sorry?
30:55So long as it's safe.
30:58Put the kettle on and make us both a cup of tea, Mo.
31:00Well, there's something maybe I can trust you to do right.
31:06And after that, we'll go and fetch him.
31:09No.
31:09The devil, why not?
31:11Well, I've got him in bed.
31:13He's got a bit of a temperature.
31:15Another little thing you didn't think to mention.
31:17The child's got double pneumonia.
31:18No, no, it's just a cold, Anna.
31:20It's getting better already.
31:21He'll be grand in a day or two.
31:22I'll look after him, honest.
31:24Like in the old days.
31:26The old days are over, Mo.
31:28Well, country air would be better for him.
31:32I thought you said just a cold.
31:34Well, I mean, generally, for a growing lad.
31:37We don't live in the country, though, do we?
31:39We live in this lovely sotty muck.
31:43Could get a job.
31:46Wales.
31:47Wales is good.
31:47There's mountains and sea.
31:49Brian stays with me.
31:51That's right.
31:52You, him, and country air would be good for you too, Anna.
31:55Not a chance, Mo.
31:58Leave Nick free.
32:00Artists need to be free.
32:03Rachel said.
32:04Did Rachel suggest that?
32:08No, I...
32:09I haven't seen her.
32:12Yes, well, a lot of things the lovely Rachel says are a fart in the wind.
32:16Artists need to be free.
32:17She gets them out of Christmas crackers.
32:18All right, then, Mo.
32:24Just one more day, and then he comes back where he belongs.
32:27Tell him I'll be around in the morning,
32:29and if he's been a good boy, he can have a lollipop, maybe.
32:31You had him.
32:33I know.
32:35You're dreaming, Mo.
32:38One more day.
32:39Then back with us.
32:42Where he belongs.
32:44Come on.
32:45All right.
33:07I think I'll go to bed.
33:15I think I'll go to bed.
33:29Uh-oh.
33:59Are we expected?
34:13Oh, why do you think so?
34:14Oh, you didn't say we were calling on anyone.
34:18The Ashburys used to live here.
34:21Generation unto generation unto generation.
34:29I came to a garden party here once myself, old Seymour Ashbury.
34:36He had a big marquee down there by the mere.
34:40And strawberries and champagne.
34:42The women's hats were a poem.
34:45You would have adored it.
34:59We didn't see enough.
35:13Ghosts.
35:17Yes.
35:19And they began the assassination of King Cotton.
35:22These balshi agitators didn't know
35:24or give a solitary damn where the trail would end.
35:26But I thought it was Japan.
35:27I mean, I thought overseas competition was to blame for the declining cotton.
35:33And, of course, one reads the economy's dreadful almost everywhere since Wall Street.
35:37My dear, the old British Empire spirit
35:39could have beaten the Depression and the yellow peril.
35:42We'd only had the guts to stand firm.
35:44You make it sound easy.
35:47No.
35:48No, it could never have been easy,
35:50but I believe it could have been done.
35:53Oh, I talk.
35:54But I did.
35:56I do damn all about it.
35:57What could you have done?
35:59Oh, something, possibly.
36:01Only, you see, I was one of the fortunate ones.
36:03My money's in wholesale groceries, not cotton.
36:06Perhaps, if I'd suffered, I might have tried harder.
36:10Well, look at it.
36:11Mass marches, meetings, strikes.
36:13Every blasted thing groaning to a halt.
36:15And Mr. Ramsey Macdonald about as much use at stopping the rot
36:19as an organ grinder's monkey.
36:22Yes, I suppose it is all pretty ghastly.
36:26But surely they're asking for nothing but hard work and living.
36:29That's a very elementary need.
36:31Well, where's all this nonsense getting them?
36:33No job and no wage.
36:35Do they call that an improvement?
36:36It's a stage in the fight.
36:38Exactly my point.
36:39There shouldn't be a fight.
36:40Divided we fall.
36:41And that's the way of it now.
36:43Exports down, taxation up, mills shutting wholesale.
36:46They want to bring this country to our knees.
36:49And by God, they're making a bloody good job of it.
37:11Forgive me, my dear.
37:24You and Cardam are far too lovely to be subjected to such an harangue.
37:28Well, what do you think?
37:30What about?
37:31Well, this.
37:33Shall I buy it?
37:41A cup of tea.
37:47Oh, thank you.
37:49What time is it?
37:50Eleven o'clock.
37:51Seven o'clock.
37:52Eleven.
37:53Eleven.
37:54Oh, Christ, I meant to be with Brian.
37:56Don't worry, you'll be all right with Mo.
37:58That's true.
38:00Poor old Mo.
38:02Lives in a dream.
38:03But you can trust him.
38:09How long have you been up?
38:10Three hours.
38:10Piggy, how's it going?
38:13Terrible.
38:14Well, you've got no kids, you've got no cats.
38:16It's not kids or cats, it's me.
38:18What's wrong with you?
38:20Well, I'm obviously not the great bloody artist I thought I was.
38:24Oh, come on, Nick.
38:26Piggy thinks it's wonderful.
38:28All right, he can have it this afternoon for 50 guineas.
38:30Oh, we're going to be rich again.
38:32Then I'll get a job.
38:34Why?
38:35What for?
38:36Because if I can only paint a piggy's satisfaction and not to mind, it's time I gave it up.
38:40Oh, Nick, I was only joking.
38:41I didn't even...
38:42I know you were only joking, but if I cannot express what I have to express, then I have
38:45to do something I can do.
38:46All right, then I'll get a job and then you can stay.
38:48No, it's not part of the agreement.
38:49What agreement?
38:50You don't even sleep with me.
38:56Why don't you sleep with me?
39:01Oh, I don't know, really.
39:03Oh, and what was it somebody else said?
39:11Oh, yes, artists need to be free.
39:14Mind you, I did make it a point of honour never to believe a word that bitch said.
39:17I suppose people would say it's about commitment.
39:23What's so terrifying about commitment?
39:27If I could explain that, I could explain why I can't express what I have to express.
39:31And if I could explain that, I'd be very good at explanations, which I'm not.
39:35Oh, Jesus Christ.
39:36What on earth did I do to deserve you?
39:38I must have killed a priest.
39:40Old Ashbury says they'll take the pictures and the personal stuff, but all the rest will
40:05be sold to the house.
40:08It's magnificently cared for.
40:10Yes, Mrs. Biddon knows her job, all right.
40:12I'll certainly keep her on if she'll stay.
40:15It sounds as though you've already decided.
40:17I've found the jewel.
40:19I just want to make quite sure it's in the right setting.
40:23Would you like cotton?
40:26I adore it.
40:28I'd have to be mad not to.
40:30Well, it is perhaps a little opulent for a weekend cottage, but I'd hope to retire here
40:35eventually.
40:36Weekend cottage?
40:40We'll get Mrs. Biddon every weekend off.
40:43Last night you said you need to escape.
41:01Well, why not here?
41:02I'm flattered and touched, but I can't.
41:07You said there was no one else.
41:10I didn't mean just other men.
41:13I meant quite literally no one.
41:17No one?
41:18No one at all.
41:20No one at all.
41:20No one at all.
41:48I said something else last night.
42:03You asked why I was being so defensive, and I told you what a vulnerable thing it is to
42:07be a woman.
42:08I was particularly thinking of a woman on her own.
42:12I'd never hurt you.
42:14I don't believe you would, knowingly.
42:18But no one can ever give that kind of guarantee.
42:20So you see, this girl doesn't go out of her way to play with fire.
42:27You're so lovely, Rachel.
42:30Someone should take care of you.
42:33Yes, well, of course, one day someone will.
42:38Where's Iggy and Bottom got to?
42:41Chapel Street.
42:42Number 15, I think.
42:43Try there.
42:43Well, how do I look?
42:56A picture.
42:57Quietly confident, not the sort to be trifled with her.
43:01Just the sort to be trifled with.
43:03Now get me caught.
43:04Oh, no you don't.
43:05One foot inside the door, and you'll start ranting about Conda Revolution,
43:09and this sort's blood running in the gutters.
43:12Next thing, he'll smash his teeth down the back of his throat,
43:16and I will ask screw an extra brass farthing out of the old sod then.
43:23Pig's eye, I will.
43:25No.
43:26Moe will come with me.
43:28What are you, Moe?
43:30What?
43:31Faunt Mansions.
43:32Visit the Nobs.
43:34She may as well take him.
43:36He's about as much use here today as a cobble wet coal.
43:39Right, sailor.
43:40You fit, then.
43:42Time for the dragon to go and slay Sir George.
43:54I'll give her that.
43:55She's a fighter.
43:57Takes after her, Dan.
43:59Damn right she does.
44:01Trouble with you is you're just bone weary.
44:04Part of the incentive these days.
44:07Well, there could be.
44:08Where are we getting, Olga?
44:10Nowhere.
44:11The road we're going on.
44:15But that doesn't mean to say we can't.
44:17God knows there's enough of us to try.
44:19The NUWM tribe.
44:22It's a word they get, eh?
44:23They've got shelters for the unemployed.
44:26What do you find?
44:28Blokes rolling their sleeves up.
44:29United with bloody stand.
44:31All right, Kel.
44:33All right, Kel.
44:33Affordative.
44:35Resignation.
44:36Skilled men playing.
44:37Reading dominoes morning while night.
44:39That's what you find.
44:41Well, there's a way out and we know it.
44:43I've been through all this before.
44:45Solidarity.
44:46Unions with some teeth in them for a start.
44:48Who's getting the message over?
44:50Typical problem in a crisis.
44:52Plenty of Indians, but we're flaming well short on chiefs.
44:55These more than a few feeble individual mutterings.
44:58You, me, to the man.
45:00Eating our own bidding.
45:02It's a waste of time.
45:04It needs organising.
45:06But how do we do it?
45:07Well, nobody's going to stop us trying, now are they?
45:10No, that's the milk.
45:11Oh, God, I've got a feeling I'm falling, oh, falling.
45:25Quite ridiculous.
45:27It's not exactly your style.
45:29It's been around the place for ages.
45:33Last night, after I left you, I came home and played it.
45:39Funny, isn't it?
45:41What I'm trying to say is
45:44I hardly know you
45:46and yet you've become very important in my life.
45:49If you don't stop being so nice to me, I may regret it.
45:53You mean I may?
45:54No.
45:56I may.
46:00Rachel,
46:01I don't want to have an affair with you.
46:04But at Codham, I thought...
46:05That was a mistake, even to have suggested it.
46:08Very well.
46:09We shall be, as they say, just good friends.
46:11You misunderstand me.
46:13I seem to be making a habit of it.
46:16Yes?
46:19There's a young woman to see you, sir.
46:22Young woman?
46:23Well, I'm not expecting anyone.
46:24She says she rauches her to say she was calling in
46:27on a matter of some importance.
46:29Oh, yes, yes.
46:31It's a damn nuisance.
46:33But will you excuse me?
46:34I shall have the seat of this.
46:35It shouldn't take very long.
46:37Yes, of course.
46:38Don't worry about me.
46:39I'm fine.
46:39Come on.
47:09Rachel!
47:30what are you doing here?
47:33well I just came with a friend.
47:35what friend?
47:36do you know this is the George Fawn's house? Nick's father.
47:39yes well...
47:40shh!
47:41who have you come with?
47:42Jenny.
47:43Jenny Keppel.
47:45Keppel?
47:46that girl?
47:47how do you know her?
47:49well she's Jo's daughter.
47:51shh!
47:52Jo and Olga.
47:53she's got some business with the old man.
47:55I don't know.
47:56I didn't know you were here Rachel, honest.
47:59nobody begrudges you Jenny.
48:01I told you it's a matter of...
48:03principle.
48:04pity you didn't take some of your fancy principles
48:06and shove them up your precious son
48:08for it'd have done most good.
48:10your allowance is already more than adequate.
48:12for what?
48:13the cost of living.
48:14is it Sir George?
48:16and what about the cost of suffering?
48:18oh come on now.
48:20you're a bright girl Jenny.
48:22and pretty too.
48:23surely you can put the past behind you.
48:26don't tell me there aren't dozens of young chaps chasing after you.
48:30you with your manicured hands
48:32and pink and white skin like a baby's bum.
48:35old enough to be my grandad.
48:37and Christ the things I could tell you about life.
48:42listen to me Jacob you've got to help me.
48:44how?
48:45I'm gonna marry Sir George.
48:57and then I'll be able to help you.
48:59oh well I do all right.
49:04poor Jacob.

49:32chicken soup.
49:33oh yeah.
49:36always chicken of a friday night.
49:39even if she did have to pawn her wedding ring to afford it.
49:42well Jacob you remember Stacey Street and then look at this.
49:45this room.
49:47the house.
49:49because I hated that and I want this.
49:51every damn thing that lousy world wasn't.
49:55and we can both be part of it Jacob once I'm married.
49:58but Sir George doesn't know about you.
50:01you never had a sister.
