00:00All those young men lost. So many names.
00:11Why didn't Trish see it with us?
00:14Oh, probably spotted one of his chums.
00:23Hello, dear. Good to see you.
00:30There you are.
00:36Aren't you getting a bit old for hide-and-seek?
00:39Took you ages to find me.
00:42You're losing your edge.
00:46Shall we?
00:47Mrs Hall's waiting.
00:56We owe you all so much.
00:58You're all so brave.
01:02A moving service, I thought.
01:07You chaps in uniform certainly had a rough go of it.
01:11There have been difficult years here, too.
01:14I know.
01:15Maggie still hasn't had any word from Arthur.
01:19You've been good?
01:21What's that you've done?
01:21Dad, Dad, look!
01:22Lord Jimbo!
01:24Are you not a fote?
01:25Sorry.
01:26Jenny!
01:27Dad's waiting for us to start that ditch.
01:29Daddy, Daddy, my car, look!
01:31It's truly magnificent, Jim.
01:33Surely Rich could manage for a few minutes without you.
01:35I thought we were having breakfast together.
01:37Look, I've kept him waiting.
01:38James, you did sleep in late.
01:39Oh, he got in after three.
01:41Daddy!
01:42Oh, it's truly magnificent driving there, Jim.
01:45No, no, no, don't eat that, Rosie.
01:49Look, breakfast another morning will be lovely.
01:51Jenny!
01:53I could drive up at lunch.
01:55Well, Jenny will have the kids then.
01:56We'll only get 20 minutes.
01:5820 minutes with you.
02:00Worth it every time.
02:02All right.
02:03Charm.
02:03I'll see you later.
02:06Bye.
02:07Bye.
02:11Hi.
02:12What are you up to?
02:13Just driving my car.
02:14Just driving your car.
02:16On, Daddy.
02:18Oh, hooray!
02:19It's arrived.
02:20My invitation from Morley Castle.
02:22That black tie do there on Saturday.
02:25What's Saturday night?
02:27Ah, yes.
02:29Tristan.
02:30Look, I know it was me who suggested the drovers.
02:33Would you mind if we rearranged?
02:35Of course not.
02:36It's good for business to be seen at something like this,
02:38and the invitations are like gold dust, so...
02:40No, I understand completely.
02:41You'd rather get about in your dinner jacket
02:43than get a pint with your brother.
02:46How does next week look?
02:47Jam-packed, I'm afraid,
02:49but we'll do it the week after, eh?
02:50Not to worry.
03:01We'll soon have you back on form.
03:02Mrs. Pomfrey,
03:03we'll be with you in a moment.
03:06Darby 2297.
03:10Beauvoir.
03:12Yes, Captain Farnham.
03:14Any problems?
03:14Just get in touch.
03:16Mrs. Pomfrey.
03:16Frankie, Jim,
03:17you should have mentioned
03:18it's like Piccadilly Circus down here.
03:19Well, I thought you could use a moment to yourself
03:21after that service.
03:22I'd take it in my stride.
03:23You know me.
03:23Well, no need to rush straight back in.
03:25Your brother and I have it in hand.
03:26But I'm fine.
03:27Where do you need me?
03:29Mrs. Holder, you took a call.
03:31Mrs. Pomfrey, do come through.
03:37A foo for...
03:42Tricky was Cocker Who
03:44about the prospect of fatherhood.
03:46And you know Tricky,
03:47his energy is infectious.
03:48Well, given his years,
03:50the boy's in fine neck.
03:52You've looked after him.
03:53Yes, but these breeders
03:54that you've recommended,
03:56they should be biting my hand off.
03:58There's not one of them
03:58who will take a chance on him.
04:00He's really taken it to heart.
04:02Yes, breeders do typically seek out
04:04younger males.
04:07No, no, no, no.
04:08No, Uncle Harriet.
04:09No, not that nonsense, please.
04:11But the science suggests
04:11that younger males
04:12rather fit their
04:14healthier pups.
04:15But what about the wisdom
04:17that Tricky has
04:18compared to those
04:19upstarts?
04:22Yes.
04:24I'd like to see him again
04:25in a week, please,
04:26Mrs. Shinwell.
04:33Mrs. Hall?
04:34Just a minute.
04:41I know you've set your heart
04:43on breeding from him.
04:44There are easier ways.
04:45A new puppy.
04:46Tricky will be there
04:47to guide them through
04:48and impart his hard-won
04:49canine wisdom.
04:52What about the bloodline?
04:54The lineage.
04:55I promised him a dynasty.
04:57Then you mustn't
04:59give up hope,
05:00Mrs. Pumphrey.
05:01There are other breeders
05:02out there.
05:04Yes.
05:05Yes, thank you,
05:05Uncle Harriet.
05:10Cheerio.
05:11Toodaloo.
05:17Siegfried.
05:25Siegfried.
05:26You ask for one Captain Farnon
05:53and they provide a spare.
05:54Administrative mix-up.
05:56It's a family practice.
05:58Two brothers
05:59and two captains, then.
06:01Daddy told me to ask
06:02for Captain Farnon
06:03and apparently
06:04he's a marvel with horses.
06:07Robert will show you
06:09where to park.
06:12I can take it from here.
06:14You go home.
06:15Help James with the backlog.
06:16My uncle died, so the estate
06:28came to us.
06:29We drove up from Hampshire
06:30on Friday.
06:30It must have been quite a sight
06:32for the oncoming motorist.
06:33Magna visi quorum.
06:34He's a boy of one.
06:38How many do you have here?
06:40It'll be fifteen when the rest
06:41arrive on Tuesday.
06:43Daddy intends to expand.
06:44There's rather a lot of us,
06:45you see, and we're all utterly
06:46horse mad.
06:47Here's my Philbrick.
06:48I wrote in this morning
06:53and something wasn't quite right.
06:54Hello, Philbrick.
06:57There, there, Philly.
06:58I'm partial to a bit of evil
06:59and war myself.
07:00The butler in decline and fall.
07:01War's best for my money.
07:02Oh, I beg to differ.
07:04But an honourable second
07:05to a handful of dust.
07:06Yes.
07:08Miss Beauvoir, is Philbrick
07:10eating normally?
07:11No, now that you mention it,
07:12not with his usual gusto.
07:14Well, he doesn't have a temperature,
07:16but he is quite stiff,
07:17so I'd say...
07:18One often sees this with horses,
07:19particularly after a long journey.
07:21Yes, moving for them
07:22is very tiring,
07:24standing all that way, so...
07:25Let him recover quietly
07:26in his stall.
07:27That's what he needs.
07:28Box rest.
07:29Captain Farnham,
07:30you don't seem convinced.
07:31Oh, no, no.
07:32We could try that.
07:33I just worry he might
07:34stiffen up further.
07:36I'd walk him out
07:37with a head collar.
07:39So that's walk him outside
07:41and keep him alone inside.
07:44Forgive me if I'm a little lost.
07:47Why don't we start him on box rest
07:49and then if we have no joy
07:50we'll walk him out.
07:51I think that sounds very sensible.
07:54You've been most attentive,
07:55Captain Farnham's.
07:56Neither of them are back yet.
08:07I promised Helen
08:07I'd get up there for lunch.
08:09Oh, sorry, love.
08:12Actually.
08:13I think I'd better take
08:23Philbrick on from here.
08:24Oh?
08:25I'm happy to.
08:26Oh, that's kind of you.
08:28No, but General Beauvoir
08:29asked for the Farnham
08:31who deals with horses.
08:33He was quite specific.
08:34Ah, and that's
08:35specifically you, is it?
08:36Let's not waste time
08:37quibbling.
08:38Ultimately,
08:38I am senior partner.
08:40And as you said,
08:41you're rushed off your feet.
08:42I hate seeing my brother
08:44so overloaded.
08:45You get those tired feet up,
08:47old man.
08:48I'll soon put Philbrick right.
08:49No.
08:50I said no.
08:52I'll do it.
08:54What?
08:55Sorry.
08:56I can't hear you.
09:10Oh, damn.
09:26Oh, tell me she's not gone already.
09:28One of Darson's sheep
09:29got tangled in the edge.
09:30Kids are with Dad.
09:31Cycled up here like a demon.
09:33You cycle?
09:34On Helen's old bike.
09:35And I'll be working later.
09:37Ships in the night, eh?
09:38I'll give my right hand
09:39for a night off.
09:40Just the two of us.
09:42You want me to pass on a message?
09:44Actually, yes.
09:46Yes.
09:47Tell your sister
09:48I'm taking her to the Flix
09:49on Saturday night.
09:51Picture of Dorian Gray.
09:53I see that
09:54all he castledoers
09:55made the paper.
09:56The Beauvoir family
09:57will be attending
09:58as guests of honour.
10:02I did think
10:02Tris looked disappointed
10:04to miss the drovers.
10:06Ah, you double-brook yourself
10:06sometimes.
10:07Can't be helped.
10:08They're horse fanatics,
10:09you know.
10:11Only we just got him back.
10:13You should have seen
10:14that house, Mrs Hall.
10:15Look at this.
10:17They can trace their family
10:18back to Norman times
10:19and the other sister
10:20married a Viscount.
10:23Any calls from the Beauvars
10:24come directly to me.
10:25Is that understood?
10:26Still no word from Arthur?
10:34Arthur?
10:35I was hoping for news
10:36now they've recaptured Rangoon.
10:39Well, I'd much rather
10:40be going to Burma
10:40to join him.
10:41At least there,
10:42I'd be working with elephants.
10:48Well, it must feel good
10:49to be back.
10:51And I bet your brother's
10:52glad to see you.
10:52I'm not sure he even likes
10:54being in the same room.
10:55And now,
10:56we've had some ridiculous
10:57barney over which of us
10:58is treating this horse.
11:00What horse?
11:01No, I put this huge
11:02new estate,
11:02the Beauvoirs.
11:03You know how full of himself
11:04he gets.
11:05It's fine.
11:06It's fine.
11:07I rise above it.
11:10Doesn't bother me one bit!
11:12That'll be 2297.
11:29Yes, Beauvoir.
11:31James, James, James.
11:31I'll take it.
11:34Yes, Miss Beauvoir.
11:36Yeah.
11:37I'll be right up there.
11:39Oh, don't mention this
11:41to my brother.
11:41There's a good chat.
12:03Well, I never.
12:04He's a classical music fan.
12:06I hope it soothes him.
12:08When I feel fraught,
12:09a spot of Elgar
12:10works miracles.
12:12I know stable hands
12:13that swear by singing
12:14to their horses.
12:17Pilbrick's more of a
12:17sophisticated...
12:18Philbrick.
12:20Philbrick.
12:21He hasn't touched his feed.
12:23Has he drunk anything?
12:25A few gulps this morning.
12:26Mm-hmm.
12:26He does seem a bit uncomfortable.
12:35Let's take a closer look.
12:37Gosh, Pilbrick.
12:38All those months
12:39dodging the Luftwaffe
12:40and it's now that you get poorly.
12:44Sorry, Pilbrick was at war?
12:46In Sicily.
12:47I was in the Auxiliary
12:49Territorial Service
12:49and he was abandoned
12:51by an Italian army unit
12:52so we took him
12:53for our supply lines.
12:55Such a dear boy,
12:56I retrained him
12:56as a riding horse.
12:59I was in Sicily.
13:01I'd still be serving
13:02if those Italian mosquitoes
13:03hadn't done for me.
13:05Malaria.
13:06Dreadful business.
13:07Mrs. Pumphrey sounded fraught
13:12and Tris still isn't back.
13:14Oh, you'd better
13:14take the Rover.
13:16Where's my brother?
13:17I haven't seen him all morning.
13:18He went up to the Beauvoirs.
13:20What?
13:21Mrs. Hall?
13:22Don't look at me.
13:24First I've heard of it.
13:25I took the call.
13:26Does it matter?
13:27See you later.
13:28Actually, Siegfried,
13:29I was hoping to take the car.
13:30Mrs. Pumphrey has finally
13:31found a match for Tricky.
13:32I'm due up there
13:33in half an hour.
13:34It would be fearsome
13:35on that bike in the hill.
13:36I'm sure Tris can manage
13:37one horse.
13:38Fine.
13:46These Beauvoirs.
13:48Hmm?
13:49What voice was it
13:50when you answered?
13:50Man or woman?
13:52Er, woman.
13:53Same.
13:54You don't think
13:54it could be her?
13:56Society beauty, apparently.
13:59Oh, she's a bonny lass,
14:00all right?
14:01Sure she la femme,
14:02Mrs. Hall.
14:03Explains why
14:04they've fallen over themselves
14:05to drive that far.
14:06Don't be daft.
14:12I'll be back tomorrow
14:13to check his temperature.
14:15Thank you, Captain Farman.
14:18May I ask,
14:19did you get injured?
14:23No.
14:25No, I'll be going east soon.
14:26I'm only home
14:28on leave.
14:30Isn't it strange?
14:32Back in Sicily,
14:33the dust,
14:34the flies,
14:34the sun roasting you
14:35in your tent,
14:36all I could think about
14:37was England.
14:39Now that I'm here.
14:42Yes.
14:44Just take some adjustment,
14:45I suppose.
14:50Afternoon.
14:50Come on, Elliot.
14:58Captain Farman.
15:13Ms. Beauvoir.
15:16Thought I'd look in
15:16on the old chap.
15:19Your brother only left
15:2020 minutes ago.
15:21Yes, correct.
15:23That's how we like
15:24to do things
15:25at our practice,
15:25you see.
15:26Always trying to go
15:27above and beyond.
15:29Commendable.
15:35I'd still be thinking
15:36back pain.
15:38Yes,
15:39he's definitely stiff.
15:39Let's keep him
15:41on the box rest.
15:42Your brother told me
15:43to walk him
15:44to keep his guts moving.
15:45Ms. Beauvoir,
15:46my brother is a fine young bit,
15:47but I have 30 years
15:48experience of horses.
15:49It's box rest he needs.
15:51Now, also,
15:52cold hose his back
15:54at regular intervals.
15:55That should prevent
15:55any information.
15:55Will he be all right?
15:58He'll need some care,
15:59but that's what I'm here for.
16:03Oh,
16:04the Stratton Quartet
16:05are playing up
16:06at Orley Castle.
16:08They've promised
16:09one of my favourites,
16:10the Elgar String Quartet.
16:11Yes.
16:13Yes, I requested
16:14the Elgar.
16:15In fact,
16:15it was me who suggested
16:16the Stratton, too.
16:17Then, bravo.
16:19Should be jolly.
16:20The whole family
16:21are going, so...
16:22Well, I look forward
16:23to seeing you there.
16:24Goodbye.
16:35Shipped all the way
16:36from Sicily
16:37and the bloody
16:37stupid animal
16:38gets sick
16:38on the road
16:39from Hampshire.
16:40Any improvement?
16:42Let's hope soon.
16:43Philbrick deserves
16:44the best treatment.
16:44I'll make damn sure
16:45he gets it.
16:46Good show.
16:46Good ma'am.
16:48So,
16:49Captain Farnon
16:50wasn't available?
16:51I am Captain Farnon.
16:53Ah.
16:54Then your son?
16:56Younger brother.
16:57They're both captains
16:57and both vets,
16:59so...
16:59Now I see.
17:01Well,
17:01let's hope you share
17:02your brother's gift
17:03with horses.
17:08I expect we'll see you
17:09on Saturday.
17:10Can't wait.
17:10I can't wait.
17:10this way.
17:27Right there.
17:30Tricky.
17:32The big day
17:32has finally arrived.
17:34His persistence
17:35paid off.
17:36Well,
17:37the course of
17:38true love
17:38never did run smooth.
17:40Her owner's
17:41driving up
17:42from Sheffield.
17:43Southern lass is she?
17:45And what time
17:46is she arriving?
17:47Two o'clock.
17:48Two o'clock.
17:48Tomorrow.
17:49I'll need you
17:51to check her over
17:52and, of course,
17:53reassure her breeder
17:54about Tricky's
17:55excellent credentials.
17:57Now,
17:57Tricky's lineage.
17:59Um,
17:59be my guest.
18:01Take it home.
18:02Then you can have
18:02a thorough read.
18:03Mrs. Pumfrey,
18:04you said this was urgent.
18:06Oh, it is.
18:07It is.
18:08It is.
18:09I'm worried about
18:09something in particular.
18:12Will he know
18:13what to do?
18:15I started
18:16talking him through
18:18the rudiments,
18:20but, of course,
18:21it would be far
18:22more effective
18:22coming from
18:23a fellow male.
18:25Me?
18:25Hmm.
18:27I leave your boys
18:28together.
18:30But you got me up here
18:31because you want me
18:31to tell Tricky
18:32about the birds
18:33and the bees.
18:34Just jog his memory.
18:40Now, Tris,
18:41are you ready
18:42to acknowledge me
18:43as Yorkshire's
18:43very own answer
18:44to Miss Marple?
18:45Oh, I've long
18:47been ready
18:47to do that.
18:48The case is cracked.
18:50I heard some
18:50regulars chatting
18:51last night.
18:52Who owns
18:53this horse
18:54exactly?
18:55The youngest
18:56daughter.
18:57Charlotte Beauvoir.
18:59Apparently,
19:00she was a
19:00debutante.
19:01Yes,
19:02that's the one.
19:03Yeah.
19:04So this
19:04to-do over that
19:05horse,
19:06that about the
19:07horse,
19:07or about the
19:08lass who owns
19:08it?
19:10No, but...
19:10You're right.
19:15Why didn't I see it?
19:16My brother
19:17has taken a shine
19:17to her.
19:19The absolute
19:20scoundrel.
19:24And you're sure
19:25no one else
19:25has got a soft spot
19:26for her?
19:28How do you mean?
19:30Well,
19:31no.
19:32No,
19:33a girl like that
19:33is looking for
19:34her Mr. Darcy
19:35with his three
19:35stately homes.
19:37I live in my
19:38brother's spare room.
19:38Daraby 2297.
19:55Miss Beauvoir.
19:59Just a moment.
20:01Urgent, apparently.
20:03Tell her to move
20:04my way.
20:06Mrs.
20:07Yes, he's on
20:08his way.
20:18His temperature's
20:19slightly higher.
20:22And there's pain
20:22here, and definitely
20:23pain on his back.
20:25Your brother thought
20:25back pain was the
20:26cockpit, so I've
20:26given him box rest.
20:28And he wanted me
20:29to walk him.
20:33It still has gut
20:35sounds.
20:35I'll inject him
20:36with a Recoline
20:37in case it is
20:38colic.
20:38So we still
20:39don't know
20:39what we're
20:39dealing with?
20:40It is rather
20:41mysterious, but
20:42don't worry.
20:44We'll work it
20:44out.
20:51Miss Beauvoir.
20:52I'm curious.
20:53Charlotte.
20:54Charlotte.
20:55How did someone
20:56with your background
20:57end up running
20:57supplies in Italy?
20:59Oh.
21:00Well, Daddy said
21:02I'd evaded the
21:03altar for long
21:04enough, so he
21:04set up a marriage.
21:06Well, I rather
21:07jilted the poor
21:08chap.
21:09Just knew I
21:09could never love
21:10him.
21:11Cue an enormous
21:12brouhaha, and me
21:14hatching a plan
21:14entirely selfishly
21:15to disappear where
21:16there'd be no
21:16gossip.
21:17I'd struggle to
21:18describe the ATS
21:19as selfish.
21:21Well, no one
21:22out there gave
21:23two hoots about
21:23me being a
21:24Beauvoir.
21:24help me see
21:26the class system
21:27in this country
21:28is, well, it's
21:29on its way out.
21:31I can't see
21:31fair shares for
21:32all being that
21:32high on Churchill's
21:33list of priorities.
21:34Yes, but he's
21:35not going to win.
21:36Ah.
21:37You think
21:37Atlee could do
21:38it?
21:38Mm-hmm.
21:50There we go.
21:51You see any
21:52further signs?
21:53Phone immediately.
21:57What you were
21:58saying before about
22:00what it felt like
22:01being back, um...
22:04People who
22:05weren't there can't
22:05really understand,
22:06can they?
22:11There's a
22:12soiree tonight up
22:14at Orley Castle.
22:16Might help you
22:16take your mind
22:17off things.
22:18That is to say,
22:19I was rather hoping
22:20we could enjoy it
22:20together.
22:23you don't want
22:25to.
22:26No, no.
22:29I'd be delighted.
22:30Yes.
22:31My brother's in good
22:47spirits.
22:48Yes, he's been
22:49chilling like a bird
22:50for hours.
22:50So, turns out
23:03I'll be going to
23:03that Orley Castle
23:04bash after all.
23:06With Siegfried?
23:08With Miss
23:08Beauvoir, actually.
23:11So that's who it is.
23:13Tristan Farnham
23:14stepping out with
23:14Society Beauty
23:15at the event of the
23:16season.
23:16And she asked
23:18me.
23:20Still have to
23:20break it to
23:21Siegfried.
23:22And why would
23:22that be a problem?
23:26So I was right.
23:28He likes her too.
23:29That's why he's
23:30set on fixing the
23:30horse.
23:31I'm dreading
23:31telling him.
23:32Why?
23:33Just don't rub his
23:34face in it.
23:36He'll be happy for
23:37you.
23:37I'd like to believe
23:38you.
23:39But we all know
23:40what he's like when
23:40his pride's on the
23:41line.
23:41Hmm.
23:42No, Jess.
23:53Are you on your
23:54way out somewhere,
23:55Mr. Farnham?
23:55No, no plans.
23:57Just see where the
23:58day takes me.
24:05Looks like I'm back
24:06on that bike again.
24:09Siegfried must have
24:09the keys to the
24:10rover.
24:11Obviously he doesn't
24:11want to miss out on
24:12his next visit to
24:12the Beauvoirs.
24:13No, he's here.
24:18Thank you, Mrs. H.
24:38Have you seen my
24:39car keys anywhere?
24:40Yes, James drove to
24:41Mrs. Pumphrey's.
24:43What?
24:43You gave them to
24:44Harriet?
24:45Well, you'd just left
24:46them on your desk.
24:48Poor lad's already
24:48cycled up and down
24:49that hill.
24:50And plenty to get on
24:51with round here, he
24:52said.
24:53Shall I make a cup of
24:54tea?
24:55I don't want tea,
24:56Mrs. Hall.
24:56I want my bloody car.
24:57Mr. Bolton.
25:12Mr. Bolton.
25:26Dennis, no need to
25:28stand on ceremony.
25:30Is that your stud dog?
25:32That's correct.
25:33Looks bloody
25:34ancient.
25:35You sure he can
25:35manage it?
25:37I can assure you,
25:39Tricky is in his
25:40prime.
25:42James Harriet,
25:43Tricky's vet.
25:44He's in superb
25:45condition for an
25:46older dog.
25:49Well, suppose you'd
25:50better meet her then.
25:51Come on, Daisy.
25:58Ah, this, this is my
26:01Daisy.
26:02Magnificent animal.
26:05Mr. Bolton, that is
26:06not a Pekingese.
26:07Who said out about a
26:09Pekingese?
26:10Toy poodle, Daisy is.
26:12Well, I'm completely
26:13lost.
26:14Since I retired, I like to
26:16experiment with canine
26:17hybrids.
26:18I mean, they all
26:19started from wolves,
26:20didn't they?
26:21And that would have
26:22been ended matter.
26:23If it weren't for folk
26:24like yours truly, were
26:25you a bit of
26:25imagination?
26:26But the Pekingese is
26:27considered a royal breed
26:29in China.
26:30Aye, and poodles were
26:33steadfast companions to
26:34Marianne to Annette and
26:36all.
26:37I'm sorry, Mr.
26:38Bolton.
26:39Bolton, but it's quite
26:41out of the question.
26:42My Tricky is not going
26:46to breed with a poodle.
26:48Hang on.
26:49It's me peeing you.
26:52You'd have me drive all
26:53way up here.
26:54I can't say it's been
26:55pleasant meeting you,
26:56Mr. Burnley.
26:57Bolton.
26:58Bolton.
26:59But this simply isn't
27:01going to happen, apart
27:02from anything else.
27:03I want it to be special
27:04for Tricky.
27:06Tricky.
27:06Tricky.
27:09Tricky.
27:10Tricky.
27:11Tricky.
27:12Oh!
27:16Blue.
27:17While we wait.
27:41Mr. Farnon.
27:46Has Tris ever talked to you
27:48about what he did in the
27:49war?
27:51He ever mentioned
27:52anything about?
27:53About what?
27:54This is all.
27:55I can't read your mind.
27:58About getting this.
28:03A military cross.
28:05It should be on his
28:05uniform.
28:06Not hidden in a drawer.
28:08Indeed.
28:10Why wouldn't he tell us?
28:13It's quiet in here.
28:14Extremely.
28:15Either I've been struck
28:16deaf or my ears are
28:17burning.
28:23Mrs. Hall found it.
28:27Sorry, love.
28:27I will just put in the
28:29laundry away.
28:30That's fine.
28:31Of course.
28:32So it is yours?
28:34Well, what did you expect?
28:36Master strategist,
28:37fearless combatant,
28:38expert marksman.
28:40I have it all.
28:41I'm the soldier's soldier.
28:43Don't make light of it.
28:44That's a real achievement.
28:47I can't stop.
28:50How do I look?
29:09Like a picture.
29:12Barely have a chance to put
29:13my shoes on nowadays,
29:14let alone make myself look
29:15half decent.
29:17Are you sure?
29:18Sure.
29:18Is James still
29:20getting ready?
29:36So I've shut my eyes
29:37for five minutes.
29:39What time is it?
29:41Time is...
29:43time for a cuddle.
29:45I don't like that time.
29:48We're all right.
29:52Bust us on leave
29:52for 20 minutes.
29:54I feel like I've been
29:55across the Pennines
29:56on that bike this week.
29:58Those hills really
29:58took it out of me.
30:00Must be getting older.
30:02Hmm.
30:05Helen?
30:06That's your cue
30:07to say it.
30:08Absolute nonsense, James.
30:09You remain an Adonis
30:10in the prime of youth.
30:11Oh, you do?
30:12Anyway,
30:14I want to get some tips
30:15of the pictures.
30:16This Dorian Gray
30:16never ages.
30:19There's a magical painting
30:20in the attic.
30:21Sounds brilliant.
30:22I want one.
30:27It's so quiet, isn't it?
30:29It's wonderful.
30:32Helen?
30:34Yes?
30:35Shall we just stay here?
30:36Oh, I was hoping
30:37you'd say that.
30:44Ah, um, Tristan.
30:46Um, I've been thinking.
30:49Are you off out?
30:51Uh, yes.
30:54Orley Castle, in fact.
30:56Right.
30:57I wouldn't have thought
30:58that was quite your thing.
30:59Why the sudden interest
31:00in chamber music?
31:01Huh.
31:01Well, there's, uh,
31:02there's no easy way
31:03to say this, but, um...
31:04Miss Beauvoir asked me,
31:06actually.
31:07To go with her?
31:08I thought it best
31:09I mention it now.
31:10Rather things didn't get awkward.
31:12Why would they be awkward?
31:14Because, well,
31:16because you've clearly
31:17taken a shine to her.
31:19I honestly never planned
31:20for it to happen like this.
31:21It's just, well,
31:23I can't help but admire
31:24Miss Beauvoir terribly.
31:26No hard feelings, I hope.
31:30Sigrid, this is easy.
31:33Give him your blessing.
31:34My blessing.
31:36Yes, they like each other.
31:37Just hardly deserves
31:38the silent treatment.
31:39I mean, come on, brother.
31:40She has a touch
31:41outside your age range,
31:42don't you think?
31:43Have you completely
31:44lost your mind?
31:46I haven't been pursuing
31:47Miss Beauvoir romantically.
31:50I bloody haven't!
31:52Is this what you think, too?
31:54That I've been chasing
31:55after a girl
31:55more than 20 years my junior?
31:57No.
31:58No.
31:59But for God's sake,
31:59why would any of you
32:00even think it?
32:01Her father's got
32:03grand plans for those
32:05stables.
32:05I've been trying to
32:06secure his business.
32:07You?
32:09Have you?
32:10What?
32:11Yes!
32:12Get that horse of hers
32:13right and the Beauvoirs
32:14won't take their business
32:15elsewhere.
32:15That at least was the plan.
32:17It's not easy with you
32:18interfering.
32:18Interfering?
32:19I know what I'm doing.
32:21I hope you don't mind
32:22me saying, but
32:22if it were the business
32:24you were after,
32:25you might have taken a moment
32:26to tell your fellow vets.
32:28Exactly.
32:28Is that really necessary?
32:29I was senior partner
32:30last time I looked.
32:35Darabee, 2297.
32:39It's the Beauvoir horse.
32:41We're on our way.
32:45Oh, you've just missed
32:46the turn.
32:47It's quicker this way.
32:47No, it's longer.
32:49It's quicker than anything.
32:50What are you asking?
32:56Hello?
32:57I'm here.
33:01He still hasn't eaten
33:02or drunk anything
33:03and he's burning up.
33:04Can you fetch fresh water?
33:07Now, please, Charlotte.
33:12Oh, God.
33:15He's obviously got a fever.
33:24We need to encourage him
33:25to drink.
33:26We're going to need
33:27some treacle
33:27or some apples.
33:36Siegfried,
33:36I can't read your mind.
33:38She'll be back soon.
33:39Can we please
33:40clear the air?
33:41I'd rather concentrate
33:42on saving the horse
33:43if it's all the same to you.
33:44Look,
33:45I was way off
33:46about you and Charlotte,
33:46but if you'd only
33:47just talked to me...
33:48You could have asked.
33:49Hello.
33:51Oh, at least we don't
33:51have to persuade him
33:52to drink.
33:53Um, would you mind
33:54just having my dinner jacket?
34:05God, it stinks.
34:06Color?
34:07Yes, it's off.
34:10Blood?
34:11Yes, but...
34:15Oh, that's why
34:16you wanted him to drink
34:16to test his urine.
34:17I think we might have
34:18solved our mystery.
34:19It's a kidney infection.
34:21That explains a lethargy,
34:22colic and painful back.
34:24Vanishingly rare.
34:26I never unpacked
34:27my microscope
34:28after last week's rounds.
34:29I've brought snacks.
34:38I've brought snacks.
34:38You see them?
35:03White blood cell casts?
35:04It's as you suspected.
35:05It's as you suspected.
35:07Pylonephritis.
35:09It's quite brilliant,
35:10Siegfried.
35:10Oh, Tosh,
35:11I thought it was his bag.
35:14Well,
35:15it gives us a chance
35:16to try these new antibiotics.
35:25See?
35:26We trust you.
35:26The general did say
35:31you were a marvel
35:31with horses.
35:36Hang on.
35:38You're saying it was me
35:39the Beauvoirs
35:40were asking for all along?
35:41As it turns out.
35:43You're the Captain Farnham
35:44who's good with horses.
35:45I'm the Captain Farnham
35:46with egg on his face.
35:49Anyway,
35:50an apology.
35:52In my head,
35:53you're 11,
35:54and I can run faster
35:56and jump higher.
35:59In all your new accolades,
36:01it's hard for a big brother
36:02to adjust.
36:04So you're actually
36:05admitting you were jealous?
36:06For the merest millisecond.
36:08This is a first.
36:11Just thought I was
36:13the horseman around here.
36:14The kidney infection
36:17would have got worse
36:18if it weren't
36:20for that outsized brain
36:21of yours.
36:22Philbrick was a cert
36:23for Jeff Malick's.
36:27Doesn't mean you can't
36:27respect me
36:28as a bloody good vet.
36:31You've come back
36:31a very impressive fellow
36:32all round.
36:34It's no surprise
36:35a woman like
36:35Miss Beauvoir
36:36would notice.
36:39You'd better let her know.
36:42Yes.
36:42Tristan,
36:44you could have told me
36:44you were decorated.
36:47You're right.
36:49I should have.
36:50Sorry.
36:54I returned from war once.
37:00Anyway,
37:00I'm here if you're
37:01ever inclined to talk.
37:04Thanks.
37:04Right,
37:12that's us
37:13back to Eston.
37:14Relaxing evening.
37:16Barry,
37:17do you know
37:17I fell fast asleep?
37:19It's the best rest
37:19I've had in ages.
37:22How'd you get on down here?
37:24Eh,
37:25time to think.
37:26No wonder
37:26you're exhausted
37:27with the children
37:28and the farm.
37:30You do know
37:31I'm here to help.
37:32Oh, really?
37:32Of course.
37:35Well,
37:36pigs need booking out
37:37for a start.
37:38Six o'clock
37:39in the morning?
37:39Meant with the kids.
37:41Oh,
37:41well,
37:41that could work as well.
37:46There's something
37:46on your mind,
37:47Audrey,
37:47I can tell.
37:49No,
37:49I'm fine.
37:51Ellen,
37:52we'd better get going.
37:58We're here.
37:58Oh,
38:01Philbrick,
38:02you're all right.
38:03It would have been fatal.
38:05Thankfully,
38:06my brother worked it out.
38:07You'll need daily injections.
38:09It's rather a long course
38:10of treatment,
38:11I'm afraid.
38:12Then it looks like
38:13we'll be seeing more
38:13of the Farnan brothers.
38:15Two brilliant horsemen.
38:17I'd be interested
38:18in hearing more
38:19about your idea
38:19to expand the stables.
38:21Would you?
38:22I'll show you
38:22the rough plan.
38:24I can stay
38:25with Philbrick.
38:26Well,
38:27if the horse
38:27is taken care of,
38:29shall I drive us
38:29up to Orley Castle
38:30afterwards?
38:31We can find out
38:32whether the Stratton
38:33lives up to its reputation.
38:34I'd like nothing more.
38:45These antibiotics
38:46should get him
38:46back on for them.
38:47You're sure?
38:48Yes,
38:48I'm sure.
38:51I can't tell you
38:52how it feels,
38:54Tristan.
38:55Thank you so much.
38:58No,
38:58humbug.
38:59If we'd worked it out
39:00before your party,
39:01you wouldn't have
39:01had a ruined evening.
39:11The evening
39:12might not be
39:12entirely ruined
39:13after all.
39:16Actually,
39:16I don't know.
39:25We'll be back.
39:27We'll be back.
40:02How was the concert?
40:10Glorious.
40:11Absolutely glorious.
40:13Quite lifted the spirits.
40:17I, er...
40:18I have a confession.
40:21You were given a military cross too?
40:22I wouldn't put it past you.
40:24Earlier.
40:25I were miffed for you.
40:27James were run ragged on that bike.
40:30And you wouldn't listen?
40:31No, I know.
40:33And then Tristan were quite put out about the drovers.
40:37But you paid him no mind whatsoever.
40:40No wonder he's keeping secrets.
40:42Yes, I shouldn't do things on my own like that.
40:47Worrying around like a loose cog, it's not fair on you all.
40:49And, er...
40:51Mr. Farland, time was, if Tristan said what he did about you and Miss Beauvoir, I would have
40:59already known your side of it.
41:03You would have told me.
41:07You're right.
41:09That's true.
41:10Pleasant evening.
41:25You're in good spirit.
41:27You were there a while.
41:28Well, we listened to some music after all.
41:32Not as bad as I thought, your old guy, chap.
41:34Ah, the Philistine takes his first step.
41:39The context may have helped.
41:44One more, and then we'll call it a night.
41:45One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:15One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:16One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:17One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:18One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:19One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:20One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:21One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:22One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:23One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:24One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:25One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:26One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:27One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:28One more, and then we'll call it a night.
42:29One more, and then we'll call it a night.
