Transcript
00:00The Lone Ranger
00:30I get invitations every night.
00:47Most of them I ignore.
00:49But you'll never guess who is my most persistent admirer.
00:53Who?
00:53Lord Madstoke.
00:56He sends me flowers every evening.
00:58And lace me, will you, Fanny?
01:02Lucy, are you being serious?
01:04You don't believe me, do you?
01:06I didn't say that.
01:09They're for you again, Miss Beckett.
01:11Ah, I knew they'd arrive on time.
01:13Put them down there.
01:16Red ones again.
01:19Perhaps this will convince you.
01:21From your loving and devoted admirer,
01:24Gerry Mandestoke.
01:28Lucy, how long's this been going on?
01:30Oh, ever since that evening at Heaven's Supper Room.
01:33The very next day he sent round a note begging me to forgive him.
01:37What a pity you didn't ignore it.
01:39Oh, but I did.
01:40No one always ignores fast advances.
01:43But if he's still sending you flowers...
01:46Fanny.
01:47How naive you are.
01:50It's all a game.
01:51The whole of life's a game.
01:54Well, after that note, I heard nothing for a week.
01:58Then would you believe it?
01:59He sent round a huge bottle of champagne.
02:03Unfortunately, my gentleman friend heard about it.
02:06He had quite a to-do.
02:08Obviously, to little effect.
02:10Now, listen, Lucy.
02:11If you're going to lecture me, Fanny.
02:14I don't want to listen.
02:17Now, then.
02:19How's Harry?
02:21Julian, you've been sitting there looking annoyingly smug all evening.
02:25Now, you obviously have something to say.
02:27But you're determined to keep us in a state of suspense.
02:31You don't get to smoke that until you do, tell us.
02:34If I give you two items of good news,
02:38can I smoke it now?
02:39Done.
02:41Well, the first item concerns your...
02:44um, Clive Seymour.
02:45Good news, you said?
02:47Oh, yes.
02:47He's coming to London very shortly to settle some details about the estate,
02:51but he particularly asked if he might call on you.
02:53But of course.
02:54How lovely.
02:55Oh, that is good news.
02:56What's the second song for his upper?
02:58Ah, yes.
02:59It concerns the matter we discussed.
03:02Oh, yes.
03:03Harry, what is all this?
03:05Well, you remember telling me that Manderstoke was pestering Lucy.
03:09Yes.
03:09Well, that worried me.
03:11I had words with Julian to see if we couldn't do something to protect her.
03:15I rather feel she needs protecting from herself.
03:17I quite agree.
03:19And I think I might have come up with a solution to the problem.
03:23Well, what is it?
03:24Well, it took me three days to trace Miss Beckett's...
03:27well, her...
03:29Lover.
03:31Yes.
03:32Well, how did he react?
03:35Oh, quite normally.
03:36Denied all knowledge of Miss Lucy Beckett.
03:38But when I faced him with the fact that the property where Miss Beckett lived was in his name,
03:43he became far more amenable.
03:45So what happened?
03:46For such a quiet, unassuming man,
03:48I was surprised at the influence he has in the world of theatre.
03:52Julian, what happened?
03:54Well, he agreed to make certain arrangements with regard to Miss Beckett.
03:59What kind of arrangements?
04:01He's had her taken out of the show.
04:03Naturally, I'll do what I can to bring about a reconciliation.
04:32between you and your mother, but I only see her occasionally.
04:36I know.
04:37And Kate is with her the whole time.
04:40Do what you can, Julian.
04:42Of course.
04:46What news of Lucy Beckett?
04:48Ah, yes.
04:50Her gentleman friend has decided that for the time being,
04:55it would be best if she were out of the country.
04:58A noble sacrifice on his part.
05:00Yeah.
05:02She's still annoyed at being taken out of the show,
05:04but he's promised to find her a role better suited to her talents.
05:09Well, I hope he finds something for us soon.
05:12If you were able to trace him, then so can Manderstown.
05:15And that would lead him directly to Lucy.
05:17Oh, that's a point I hadn't even considered.
05:23Still, perhaps by now Manderstown will have found
05:26consolation in someone else's arms.
05:37So you're off to France then, you lucky dog.
05:40Yes.
05:41We're spending a couple of days in Yorkshire first.
05:44Fanny insists on seeing her mother before we go.
05:46Kevin is wise.
05:49He'd think we were off to darkest Africa.
05:53So you want to get back?
05:57Have a good holiday.
05:59We will.
06:02My regards to Fanny.
06:06You're carrying his child.
06:08A child he doesn't even yet know about,
06:10and you tell me not to worry.
06:11I shall tell Harry when I'm ready to tell him,
06:16and not before then.
06:17All I can see is my life repeating itself in yours.
06:21It's the same situation and the same wrong thinking.
06:25Marry him and then tell him about the child.
06:27No.
06:29That would be dishonest.
06:31And that I never will be with Harry.
06:33Fine words.
06:35Fine thoughts.
06:36But they don't help much if you have to bring up a child on your own.
06:39Harry will not desert me.
06:42Of that I am sure.
06:44But I don't want him to marry me because of the baby.
06:49When we return from France, I shall tell him.
06:53Well, Fanny,
06:55I'll pray that you haven't misjudged him
06:57and that you will be married.
06:58We will.
06:59And it will be here at autumn.
07:04I promise.
07:14With all that we've planted here,
07:15we should be able to withstand a siege if necessary.
07:18I should think you could.
07:20Do you have any livestock left, sir?
07:21Oh, just a couple of cows.
07:23A few pigs and chickens.
07:26But there's trout in the brook and grouse on the moor.
07:29You sound as if you're enjoying the challenge.
07:31I am.
07:34Morning.
07:36Tell me,
07:37what part of France are you thinking of exploring?
07:40I thought we might look at Charterer first
07:41and then travel back through the countryside towards Paris.
07:44It really is an incredible piece of architecture.
08:02When you consider how long ago it was built,
08:05problems they must have faced
08:06in supporting such an enormous roof spot.
08:13Harry.
08:14Don't we sit down for a while?
08:17Of course.
08:20My lover, you all right?
08:21Yes.
08:22I'm just a little exhausted, that's all.
08:25Three days of sightseeing.
08:28Three nights of perfect love.
08:32I'm sorry.
08:33I'm a thoughtless brute.
08:35No, you are not.
08:38It's just that I'm in a hurry
08:39to have you baptised
08:40in the gentle fires of France.
08:42As from tomorrow,
08:57we shall take life at a more leisurely pace.
08:59I will hire a landau
09:07and a coachman
09:08and we will wend our way
09:11gently towards Paris,
09:13stopping whenever you wish
09:14and travelling wherever
09:16our fancy takes us.
09:17Yes.
09:21Yes, sir.
09:22Is this nice?
09:23It's nice.
09:24Yes, sir.
09:24Let's see.
09:25I'm out.
09:26Yes, sir.
09:27Yes, sir.
09:29I don't know.
09:30No, I'm out.
09:31You're all right.
09:32I'm out.
09:33I'm out.
09:34I'm out.
09:34Here, sir.
09:35What did he say?
10:01He doesn't think we'll reach Udon by this evening.
10:04Oh, never mind.
10:07He suggests we go to a village called Les Yvelines.
10:11It's by the river.
10:13There's an inn there called La Berge du Chateau.
10:16It's clean.
10:18And it's simple.
10:19And it serves good food.
10:21Everywhere in France serves good food.
10:25I think I'm talking to a convert.
10:28Perhaps we should stay here forever.
10:30Here we go.
10:35All right.
11:05Oh, Jerry.
11:12Why did you take so long to find me?
11:15My dear Lucy, half the pleasure is in the chase.
11:19And one should never deny oneself pleasure.
11:21But in a few more days I will have left the country.
11:25I know.
11:26As you will learn, my timing is excellent.
11:31You knew?
11:32Oh, yes.
11:33Your little Mr. Pippin has arranged an engagement for you in Paris.
11:38Did he tell you this?
11:40He was very forthcoming.
11:42Such a sensible man.
11:44We had a most fruitful discussion.
11:47And he now...
11:49relinquishes all claim on you.
11:53As readily as that?
11:56He only wanted what was best for you.
11:57I was soon able to convince him
12:00that I was far better fitted for that role.
12:03You seem very sure of yourself.
12:06I am.
12:08Open that case.
12:09For me?
12:23Of course.
12:24I always said I'd have diamonds.
12:35Yes.
12:37Diamonds.
12:40And nothing else.
12:43Take me to the bedroom.
12:46No.
12:47Here.
12:49Here.
13:02Oh, Harry.
13:04This place has a magic about it.
13:09You want to stay here, don't you?
13:12Can we?
13:12Yes, of course.
13:17And when you're ready,
13:19you'll go on to Paris.
13:20Oh, then.
13:27What shall we do today?
13:29Oh.
13:31Mostly nothing.
13:33And the same tomorrow.
13:36And the day after that.
13:37Mm-hmm.
13:42Oh!
13:42Ha-ha-ha-ha!
13:47Right.
13:50Oh, so, so, so, shall I ever see thee, lad?
14:12I'm married that thou wilt
14:15when thou art here.
14:17Ha-ha-ha-ha!
14:18Ha-ha-ha-ha!
14:19Harry.
14:48Harry.
14:53What day is it today?
14:58I think it's Sunday.
15:03Hmm.
15:05Feels like Sunday.
15:16You're disturbing the fish.
15:19Go back to sleep.
15:29If only life could always be like this.
15:33Mr. Cartwright?
15:39Mrs. Summerford.
15:41Miss Summerford.
15:42Good morning, Mr. Cartwright.
15:44There's a matter my mother would like to discuss with you.
15:47Could you call on us tomorrow afternoon?
15:49Certainly.
15:50Would three o'clock be convenient?
15:53Perfectly.
16:01Cut him out?
16:03But I can't do that, Mrs. Summerford.
16:05Why not?
16:06Because Harry and his heirs are named beneficiaries of the estate and that cannot be altered.
16:11Mr. Cartwright, my mother is not talking about my late father's estate, but of her own will.
16:19Oh, I see.
16:20I...
16:21I do beg your pardon.
16:24Interesting, then.
16:26How you leapt to Harry's defense.
16:28As I trust I would with any client, Miss Summerford.
16:32I do not have a great deal of money of my own, as you know, Mr. Cartwright.
16:37But I do have this house and the lodge in Scotland.
16:41I see.
16:42And you would now like your entire estate to go to your daughter.
16:45Is that correct?
16:46Precisely.
16:48As my son has chosen to cut himself off from me,
16:52I would only be condoning his dissolute behavior by allowing him to share in my estate.
16:58You are, of course, at perfect liberty to dispose of your estate as you wish, Mrs. Summerford.
17:03Although I do know that Harry is as grieved at this rift as you are.
17:06He is well aware of the remedy, Mr. Cartwright.
17:11Why, you are perhaps hoping then that this might bring him to heal?
17:18If you wish to tell him of my mother's decision,
17:22I'm sure she'd not object.
17:26As your brother is holidaying in France at the moment,
17:29it will have to wait until his return.
17:31I will have a codicil drawn up.
17:35Mrs. Summerford?
17:37Miss Summerford?
17:39Good afternoon, ladies.
17:44France!
17:46And he never thought to tell me.
17:48Time to go.
17:58Yes, I'm afraid so.
18:02We'll come back here next year.
18:04I promise.
18:06And I couldn't let you leave France without seeing Paris, could I?
18:09Yes, could I?
18:31You look lovely.
18:32Well, I'll be damned.
18:33I don't think we shall be going to the opera after all.
18:46Why?
18:47Well, listen to this.
18:48And among the new pieces, there is a ballet
18:52in which the principal part of the Nia, the water nymph,
18:56is danced with great artistry by the beautiful Miss Lucy Beckett.
19:02Lucy?
19:04Here in Paris?
19:05Here in Paris?
19:33Well, this is my boy!
19:34He'll have to wait RAWide,
21:01Oh, pardon, monsieur.
21:16Monsieur, perhaps you are looking for Miss Beckett.
21:24Who is it wants me?
21:27Bernie!
21:28Oh, Lucy!
21:31How in heaven's name!
21:33How good it is to see you!
21:34I can't believe it!
21:36And Harry, how lovely to see you!
21:39Lucy.
21:40How did you know I was here?
21:42Quite by chance.
21:44We saw your name in the newspaper.
21:46But this is incredible!
21:48I only opened last week.
21:50And my dears, the notices I've had, all of them absolutely marvellous!
21:55Promise me you'll come and see the show.
21:58But we already have.
22:00Oh, Lucy, I thought you were quite splendid.
22:03When you danced so beautifully.
22:05It was a huge success.
22:07Now, you must join us for supper.
22:09Oh, my dears.
22:11I'd love to.
22:14Um, but not tonight.
22:16Look, please don't think me rude, but I am expecting someone.
22:21We quite understand.
22:22Anyway, we're here for three whole days.
22:24Oh, good!
22:26Will you join us for lunch tomorrow?
22:28I'd love to.
22:29The Chateau Rouge at one o'clock.
22:38Well, well, well.
22:40They were just leaving, Jerry.
22:42Oh, not for the moment.
22:46Mr. Somerford and I have some uncompleted business to finish.
22:50I choose who I do business with.
22:53Jerry, please!
22:54Hold your tongue.
22:55Harry, let's go.
22:59I suggest, sir, that you stand aside.
23:03Monsieur, my friend and I wish to leave.
23:07Then you'll damn well have to wait, won't you?
23:09Do let me tell you about this braggart here.
23:13Oh, he's so full of bravado when he's facing someone who's too drunk to defend themselves.
23:18Well, he hasn't a stomach to fight a sober man on equal terms.
23:24He has to cower behind the skirts of this cheap little whore.
23:31Yes, I knew that'd be your reaction, Somerford.
23:43You behave like the ruffian you are.
23:46Gentlemen, you were both witness to the fact that this man assaulted me.
23:49I gladly accept his challenge.
23:52But the matter will be decided in a manner befitting a gentleman of my station.
23:57Albert, you will be my second.
23:59Oh, Harry, this is madness.
24:01He deliberately...
24:01I know.
24:02Well, it's gone too far now.
24:05Monsieur.
24:10I'm well aware that you were grossly provoked.
24:15And in truth, you are the injured party.
24:17If you have no friend on whom you can call,
24:20I shall be honoured to act for you.
24:25My card.
24:26Thank you, Monsieur.
24:39Fanny.
24:40Thank you so much, my dear.
24:43I knew you'd leave me to him one day.
24:45He's a charming man, de Chaudry.
25:06At least I shall have a duke for my second.
25:09Don't joke about it, Harry.
25:11Please, let's back and leave for England now.
25:14I've already told you that is impossible.
25:16I'd be branded a coward.
25:17What does that matter?
25:19I know you're not, and so do you.
25:21Besides which, the whole thing is quite illegal,
25:24and to risk being killed by that man.
25:26Oh, come now, Fanny.
25:26A couple of random shots.
25:28There's precious little risk.
25:30He'll try to kill you.
25:31I know it.
25:32Well, he won't succeed.
25:36Now, I have to go downstairs to see the duke.
25:39Please, Harry, let me speak to him.
25:41Perhaps if he spoke to Mandersdor...
25:43No, I have to go through with this.
25:46It is a matter of honour.
25:47Honour?
25:48What honour is there in behaving like a barbarian?
25:52It is not a question of my honour.
25:54It is simply that Mandersdor will never leave us alone
25:56until his honour is satisfied.
25:58I know how you feel.
26:10You don't know.
26:14You don't.
26:15You realise this is our first quarrel?
26:23Yes.
26:25And it need not have happened.
26:27It's all so stupid and unnecessary.
26:29Oh, Fanny.
26:47We cannot run away.
26:49If I don't face this now,
26:55then you and I will never be free.
27:03I will not be long.
27:04I hope I haven't kept you waiting.
27:25Not at all.
27:28May I introduce my friend, Dr. Leuventhal,
27:30Monsieur Somerfault.
27:32How do you do?
27:32How do you do?
27:33Now, may I pour your cognac?
27:34Yes, please.
27:37Dr. Leuventhal is my own physician
27:40and as custom requires
27:42that we have the presence of a doctor,
27:44I thought it best that we
27:46keep it within the family.
27:48Yes, I understand.
27:50It's very good of you to turn out, sir.
27:52Oh, it's nothing.
27:54I'm quite sure my services will not be required.
27:58To your continued good health.
28:07Now,
28:08we have agreed
28:10the place where you will meet
28:12and I have insisted
28:13that my own pistols will be used.
28:17This is perhaps the first time
28:19you have had such an encounter, monsieur.
28:22Yes, it is.
28:25I thought perhaps it might be.
28:27Are you, uh,
28:28a good shot?
28:32Fair.
28:34That is sufficient.
28:35May I offer you
28:37some advice?
28:38Yes, please.
28:38It would be most welcome.
28:39When the time comes for you to fire,
28:42stand square
28:43to your men.
28:46But surely that gives him
28:47a broader target.
28:48This is true,
28:49but you will find
28:50that your aim
28:51is much steadier
28:52and therefore
28:53more accurate.
28:55Oh, yes.
28:55Yes, of course.
28:56There is much to be said
28:57for both methods.
28:59The choice is yours, monsieur.
29:00Do you?
29:02Now, is there
29:03some other commission
29:05you would wish me to undertake?
29:08Yes, of course.
29:10Should things go bad before me,
29:11I would be grateful
29:12if you would have
29:13those messages telegraphed.
29:14But, of course.
29:15Julian, uh,
29:18Carteret.
29:18He's my solicitor.
29:20He will be able
29:20to make all the necessary arrangements.
29:23The other is
29:24to the father of my
29:25my companion.
29:27Ah,
29:28the beautiful
29:29dark-haired lady.
29:31It is wise
29:32to be prepared,
29:33but I shall have pleasure
29:34in returning these
29:35to you
29:35in the morning.
29:37Please,
29:37I shall receive them
29:38with equal pleasure.
29:38Where are we to meet?
29:42I think it is perhaps
29:43better that only
29:44the seconds
29:44know of the meeting place.
29:46It is against the law,
29:47you understand.
29:48The time arranged
29:49is for
29:50six
29:50tomorrow morning.
29:52Monsieur Le Ducan
29:53and I will call for you
29:54here at
29:54half past five.
29:58Does that give us
29:59sufficient time?
30:00Oh, yes.
30:02It's always a mistake
30:03to arrive too early,
30:05waiting only
30:06frays the nerves.
30:08Now,
30:10if there is
30:11nothing more.
30:12There is one other thing.
30:13Doctor,
30:14could you let me
30:15have a draft of laudanum?
30:17Is that wise?
30:19Oh, it's not for myself.
30:21It's just that
30:22I would like Miss Hooper
30:23to sleep soundly tonight.
30:24Ah,
30:25but of course.
30:30What was in that?
30:33Hot milk and cinnamon.
30:35Nothing else?
30:36It's just a few drops
30:39of laudanum.
30:41Oh, no.
30:42But I don't want
30:44to go to sleep.
30:44I know.
30:46You want to stay awake
30:47all night worrying,
30:48don't you?
30:50Well, I want you
30:51to get a good night's sleep.
30:53Harry, I don't...
30:54And if you ask time,
30:58we'll be having breakfast
31:00together
31:01and laughing about
31:03all this nonsense.
31:04I should have told you.
31:20I might have made you
31:23change your mind.
31:24Hush.
31:25Tell me in the morning.
31:27Sleep well,
31:42my love.
31:44I'm the love.
31:46I want you
31:46tować her,
31:48I'm the same.
31:49Him.
31:49My love.
31:55You're welcome.
32:04Eh.
32:04Well,
32:10you're welcome.
32:11I'm going to make sure you're ready.
32:41You can't drink the whole thing.
32:44No beer.
32:46This is fun.
32:49Yeah, so...
32:52等しい...
32:55It's so good...
32:57What is it?
32:59In the next one...
33:03The way it's done...
33:34Kindly stand back to back, gentlemen.
33:38On my count, you will each walk six paces.
33:45You will then turn and fire in your own time.
34:01I will commence counting now.
34:05One, two, three, four, five, six.
34:12One, two, three, four, five, six.
34:21One, two, three, four, five, six.
34:30One, two, three, four, five, six.
34:36One, two, three, four, five, six.
34:51I'll bear my compliments to Monsieur LeDuc, but tell him it fires a fraction to the right.
34:58One, two, three, four, five, six.
35:13surely doctor he should be in hospital miss Hooper if he were to go to hospital there would be
35:22questions soon the police will become involved most important he has all the rest and quiet he
35:30can get I see he looks so deathly pale well he has lost a great deal of blood but he's a strong man
35:43how bad is the injury doctor very well you wish to know the truth so I will not lie to you the ball
35:58passed through the left deltoid muscle and badly fractured the scapula it will need to recover his
36:06strength before I can make a more detailed examination for that I shall have to operate
36:13just save him please
36:18it's a judgment it's a judgment of me for being so harsh with Harry for heaven's sake mother don't
36:33you see god is punishing you please keep quiet and listen mr. Cartwright's telegram simply says
36:40that he's going to Paris well Harry's been injured in an accident never have cut him out of my will
36:46oh my poor boy oh stop behaving as if he's dead he's probably done no more than break his leg then why
36:56should he send for Julian his solicitor
36:59it's good of you to come so soon don't talk old chap try to save your strength
37:06have you seen Fanny yes she's downstairs talking to Clive Seymour we traveled over on the same packet
37:13in the drawer
37:18in the drawer
37:18over there
37:21ah
37:29it's my instructions
37:33everything I have is to go to Fanny
37:37of course old boy
37:38only that won't be necessary
37:40you're going to get well it's just a matter of time the doctor is very confident
37:53it would be dishonest of me monsieur to pretend that he is not seriously ill
37:59but from what I hear surely there have been signs of improvement
38:03improvement or is that not correct doctor
38:06I believe that the internal bleeding has stopped and he is a little stronger
38:13but there is a long struggle ahead
38:16is there nothing we can do to speed his recovery
38:20he has the will to live
38:27we must do all we can to sustain it
38:30there is one thing
38:31yes
38:32I think it might help
38:34he doesn't know yet
38:37but
38:38I'm carrying his child
38:41are you by Jove
38:48that could be the very medicine he needs
38:50darling this is wonderful news
38:53will you make sure she takes good care of herself sir
38:59no Harry I won't
39:00Fanny is now your responsibility
39:03so is the child
39:05it's up to you to take care of them
39:07not me
39:08I understand what you're saying sir
39:15the next question is
39:17how soon can we get married
39:20do you mean you'd consider getting married
39:22here and now
39:23is that wise
39:25I think the sooner the better sir
39:32before
39:33she changes her mind
39:36well it may be possible to arrange something
39:39there's a trap at the embassy
39:41who owes me a favour or two
39:43here you mean
39:44that would be wonderful
39:46that is if the doctor is agreeable
39:48it would seem you have prescribed the ideal tonic monsieur
39:51good
39:52well
39:53no time like the present
39:55Fanny you better come along with me
39:57you may be required to sign papers
39:59but remember
40:00there must be no mention of a duel
40:02well I'll simply say that he has broken his shoulder blade
40:04and is confined to bed
40:05well
40:06that is roughly correct
40:07good
40:08come on Fanny
40:16I'll be back as soon as I can my hand
40:22may I volunteer to be your best man Harry?
40:41seems I have no option
40:45gladly
40:46well
40:51how are you feeling?
40:56I'm very tired
40:58too much excitement perhaps
41:03my shoulder is throbbing
41:07it feels very hot
41:09well then
41:14we'd better look
41:16anyway I needed to change the bandages
41:18sir
41:19Julian
41:33it's all arranged
41:34my dear fellow we've traveled miles
41:37what's the matter?
41:39I'm afraid that Harry's sister has arrived
41:41afraid?
41:42but surely it was good of her to come
41:47is Harry all right?
41:49after you left
41:50Dr Lerventhal examined Harry's shoulder
41:53he found that the wound had turned poisonous
41:55and he feared that the first stages of gangrene could easily have set in
41:59oh
42:01he realized that unfortunately he would have no option but to amputate
42:05oh my god
42:09my god
42:12I'm sorry
42:14please go on
42:16Dr Lerventhal reached that decision six hours ago
42:19and it was then that Kate Somerford arrived
42:22what's happened Julian?
42:24she has completely taken charge and has forbidden the operation
42:27the doctor and I have tried to reason with her but she just will not listen
42:30then I must talk to her
42:32no
42:33no she's given orders that you're not allowed in the room
42:36what?
42:38she also refuses to allow the marriage to take place
42:41how can she be so cruel?
42:42quite easily it's in her nature
42:44unfortunately as Harry's next of kin she does have certain legal rights
42:49even so
42:51would it help if I spoke to her?
42:53I doubt it so
42:55but I'd be grateful if you'd try
42:56for pity's sake Miss Somerford
43:07can you not see
43:09Harry's life is in the balance
43:11he is my brother
43:13and I will not have him mutilated
43:15and certainly not on the advice of some foreigner
43:17Dr Lerventhal is a highly qualified position
43:19and he will return to England with me
43:21where he will receive proper medical attention
43:22I'm afraid your brother will go nowhere Miss Somerford
43:25unless I operate immediately
43:27there is much poison in his body
43:29I will not have it
43:31there must be something else you could do
43:34there's no other way
43:44it's all the fault of that woman
43:47if she hadn't taken you away from me none of this would have happened
43:50Miss Somerford this is no time for recriminations
43:54there's been too much delay already
43:56even now it may be too late
43:58amputate
44:02he'd be deformed
44:04he'd be alive
44:06no
44:08no the fever will go
44:10I will sit with him and pray
44:14he will be better in the morning
44:15Miss Somerford in the name of heaven
44:16I have said no
44:18I have said no
44:34I don't think I can wait here any longer
44:37knowing that Harry is slowly
44:41you mustn't give up hope
44:42you must take strength in the knowledge that you have his love and his child
44:50you think he's going to die
44:53don't you?
44:54no
44:55I'm simply facing the possibility as you must
44:59and having faced it I think the time has come to take more positive action
45:02but Miss Somerford is within her legal rights
45:04I know
45:06legality may be the very thing to save the day
45:08well an early start won't do them any harm
45:11with luck I'll be back from the embassy within the hour
45:26he's getting weaker Miss Somerford
45:27I'm sorry
45:28but you must let
45:33must
45:35there's no must about it doctor
45:38I am the one who decides what happens to my brother
45:43very well then
45:45I would most strongly advise
45:48that it is imperative that I operate immediately
45:50wait until noon
45:54wait until noon
45:56but by then
45:57I shall give you my answer then and not before
46:06how is he darling?
46:08the life is going out of him
46:10the operation is his only hope
46:12but Miss Somerford will not allow me
46:14Mr. Seymour this is none of your business
46:15but Harry's friend it is very much my business
46:18therefore I'd like you to sign this document
46:21which officially dismisses Dr. Lerventhal
46:23and whereby you accept full responsibility for your actions
46:27I shall do no such thing
46:29how dare you interfere sir
46:32either you sign this Miss Somerford
46:34or Mr. Cartwright and I will make the positions to this effect at the British Embassy
46:38should your brother die in the meantime due to your intransigence
46:42the full facts will be made public at the inquest
46:46the choice is yours
46:53since you are determined to operate
46:57very well I give my permission
47:02thank you
47:08thank God
47:09how was he?
47:14he's in good hands my dear
47:27Bernie?
47:32I'm ready
47:34now I must insist that you leave
47:36leave
47:41I shall wait outside
47:52how long will it take?
48:00I don't know
48:06I'm ready to go
48:08it's a lie
48:09I'm proud
48:12I'm proud
48:18I'm proud of you
48:20so I'll see you in the next section
48:22I'll see you in another section
48:24I'm proud of you
48:26thank you
48:28thank you
48:30thank you
48:32my goodness
48:33Oh, my God.
49:03The carriage will be here soon.
49:24Well, the ceremony won't take long.
49:28I'll catch the afternoon train.
49:30When it's time tomorrow you'll be home at Orton.
49:37I shall stay in France?
49:40At the baby.
49:42At Orton, you'd be with your mother.
49:44You'd have...
49:45friends around you.
49:51I shall go to Lays Evelyn.
49:54Where Harry and I were happy.
49:58You'll be so alone.
50:00There will be memories.
50:04Miss Summerford, I really think...
50:07What I have to say to this person will not take long.
50:15Harry was my only son.
50:19And you took him from me.
50:21But for you he would be alive today.
50:27And for what you've done,
50:29I pray that you will burn in hell.
50:33Mrs. Summerford.
50:41Yes.
50:46Does that damnation apply to your grandchild also?
50:49I beg your pardon?
50:54Let her go.
50:56No.
50:57Harry was my friend.
50:59It's time this woman knew he was the father of the child you were carrying.
51:03What?
51:04Not only did your daughter refuse to allow the doctor to operate until it was too late.
51:07Kate?
51:08She was determined also to prevent the marriage.
51:11Marriage?
51:12What marriage?
51:14It was Harry's dearest wish that they should be married.
51:18But for her,
51:20your grandchild would have been born legitimate.
51:23Kate!
51:24It's time we left for the funeral, Mother.
51:30Kate!
51:31I demand an answer!
51:33Is it true?
51:38Why?
51:40Oh, why did you tell her?
51:43She had to know.
51:47Poor woman.
51:49She has nothing.
51:51I have his child.
52:21I am for her.
52:36Whew!
52:41You're my Alzheimer's.
52:45Brother Eazar,
52:47you're the young girl.
52:49You're the young man.
