00:00Dennis, where are you going?
00:02He's leaving us!
00:03No, Dad, don't go. Please don't leave us.
00:06It's no use Duncan, I'll try that.
00:08It doesn't work.
00:23It's alright, Mum. I'll look after you.
00:26You can manage without him.
00:31.
00:31.
00:31.
00:31.
00:31.
00:33.
01:33They look lovely.
01:34That's good.
01:37It is nice to see you.
01:39I hope you didn't mind me dropping in.
01:40Not at all.
01:41You're either always out or engaged.
01:43I'm working nights so I sleep all morning and take the phone off the hook.
01:46I was worried about you.
01:48Why?
01:49You know why.
01:51There's no need to worry. I'm fine.
01:53You don't look fine.
01:54Thanks a lot.
01:55I don't mean that.
01:57You look marvelous.
01:58It's just...
02:00You know what I mean.
02:03How's David?
02:04Fine.
02:05And Lisa?
02:06Yes.
02:08Jean I can't stand this.
02:11What?
02:12Either throw me out or tell me we're still friends.
02:16Oh.
02:17Bad as that is it.
02:21You're making it very difficult for me Ruth.
02:23I'd like her still to be friends.
02:26God knows I need all the friends I can get these days.
02:29But how can we when I know that you're still seeing her?
02:32How can I relax with you?
02:35You mean I've got to choose?
02:37I don't see how you can expect to keep one foot in each count.
02:39I didn't actually want to.
02:41It's just...
02:42Well she's related to the man I told you about.
02:46So I can't not see her.
02:49I'm very angry with her actually.
02:50I think she's behaved outrageously.
02:53She couldn't have done it without Robbie's cooperation.
02:55I'm very angry with him too.
02:57Oh what's the point?
02:58We can't have been as happily married as I thought we were.
03:00It wouldn't have happened.
03:01I'm not so sure.
03:03People do mad things for no reason at all sometimes.
03:06Well it's done now.
03:10Come in Paul.
03:12I was expecting you.
03:15Got your cheque already.
03:17Now.
03:19It comes to 1,275.
03:22That's 7.5% of the net profit of 17,000.
03:26It's all there in the statement.
03:28Thank you Robert.
03:30I'm sure it's all in order.
03:31Yeah.
03:3226,500 purchase price,
03:341500 expenses,
03:36survey and legal fees.
03:37Let me know if you have any queries.
03:39My accountant's got all the invoices.
03:40Sure.
03:41You managed to get 45?
03:43It's not a bare profit is it?
03:45It'd be better if I hadn't taken four months.
03:48And better still if you got your facts right.
03:50What do you mean?
03:51Well you told me those intermediary landlords were in financial trouble
03:55and I could get the lease for five.
03:56Well it turned out they weren't in any trouble at all.
03:59Held out for six and a half.
04:00Well look what I told you was in good faith.
04:02Just the way I heard it.
04:04Well maybe you shouldn't believe all you hear.
04:07Or maybe I shouldn't trust you.
04:10However.
04:11Well I hope you will trust me Robert.
04:12Because um
04:13I've got a really super deal with you this time.
04:17Alright.
04:19Is this another one of your stories?
04:21Well I think you'd be sorry if you let this one go.
04:23It's an office building in New Cavendish Street
04:25and they're asking 80,000 for the freehold.
04:27But they'll come down.
04:29Now the place is not in brilliant condition.
04:31It needs some decoration, a bit of rewiring.
04:33But that shouldn't be any problem to you
04:35because you could get that done in a few weeks.
04:37Now the point is
04:38I know a firm of solicitors
04:40who'd be prepared to pay eight or nine thousand
04:43once it's done up.
04:45Now would you like to have a look at it?
04:47Are you going to divorce him?
04:49Uh yes.
04:51Not in time for the big event.
04:53That wasn't possible.
04:54But early next year.
04:56That's very generous of you.
04:58Not really.
04:59He said he wouldn't see me if I didn't.
05:02And you still want to see him?
05:06He's all I've got to live for.
05:08I've spent 13 years of my life with Robbie.
05:10They were good years most of them.
05:11You don't stop loving someone because they leave you.
05:13Why shouldn't I still want to see him?
05:16I know it must be very difficult.
05:18Wouldn't a clean break be less painful in the long run?
05:22No I don't think so.
05:24You see there's no point in me meeting anyone else.
05:27Because in the eyes of God and the church
05:30I'd always be married to Robbie.
05:32Do you really believe that?
05:33Of course I do.
05:34You can't stop what you believe in just because things go wrong.
05:39You're not eating a cake.
05:42Sorry.
05:44He's been very good really.
05:47He comes to see me about once a week.
05:49I think he feels guilty.
05:52He was always very nice to me when he got his own way.
05:55He's even offered me a house in Scotland.
05:57As well as this one I mean.
05:58So I can be nearer the boys.
06:00I think that's a terrible waste of money.
06:02I can always stay with his mother.
06:04I think if someone treated me the way Roberts treated you I'd really hate them.
06:08No I don't think you would.
06:10You'd like to.
06:11I'd like to.
06:12But when it comes to the point it's not possible.
06:16It's so bizarre.
06:19What do you talk about?
06:21The boys mostly.
06:23And a bit about work.
06:25He doesn't stay long.
06:26Oh God I couldn't stand it.
06:28What I've got to remember is not to get emotional.
06:30If I look too pleased to see him or too upset when he goes away.
06:34If I show all that.
06:35Then he might get embarrassed and he might stop coming.
06:38I've got to make it easy for him.
06:40I've got to be cheerful.
06:43Bloody men they have it all their own way.
06:46Not really.
06:47If you left David and said you'd see him once a week.
06:50He'd behave like me wouldn't he?
06:54It's a nice building Tony.
06:55I should hope so at that price.
06:57I had a word with David and he spoke to the agents.
06:59And if I offer them 70 they'll probably settle for 75.
07:02There's still a lot of money tied up on the promise of a tenant.
07:04But I'm going to back to back it.
07:06Sell it on to an investment fund.
07:09David has clients he thinks might be interested.
07:11And once I've done it up and it's let to dig me reasoned George for 9,000 a year.
07:15We could sell it for something like 125 with a bit of luck.
07:18That's more like it.
07:19Would you do it through Kovacs?
07:20No.
07:21If it only takes a few weeks it'll be cheaper to do through my local bank.
07:25Besides I've got enough on my plate with Kovacs.
07:28I'm still hoping to persuade him to come in on the housing side.
07:31Then we can really expand.
07:34If I can get him to back my land back.
07:37The sky's the limit.
07:38Piers?
07:39Welcome back.
07:41My god, Di, you're enormous.
07:45How on earth are you managing?
07:47With great difficulty.
07:49Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
07:51So am I.
07:52You know I never thought you'd go through with it.
07:54Neither did I.
07:57What's that?
07:58Prezzy for you.
07:59Thought you might need cheering up.
08:00You can't open it until you guess what it is.
08:03That's not fair.
08:04It's a new rule.
08:05Do you want a drink?
08:06Yes.
08:07Orange juice please.
08:10I just love being waited on.
08:14Well I never thought I'd see you like this.
08:17What made you change your mind?
08:19Oh I don't know.
08:20Mac was so sweet about it.
08:22Really keen to have it.
08:23I suppose I was flattered.
08:25He's very special.
08:28And oh I don't know.
08:29Just thought it might be exciting.
08:32And is it?
08:32Yes.
08:33It's absolutely weird having a...
08:37Piers, what is that noise?
08:39I was wondering when you'd notice.
08:40I don't believe it.
08:42Well you said you always wanted one when you finished work.
08:47Piers, you're an angel.
08:49Diana.
08:50She's a girl.
08:51Seven weeks.
08:52The rest is up to you.
08:55Oh.
08:56Oh she's beautiful.
09:02Oh hello Piers.
09:03Hello Robert.
09:05Good to see you.
09:06Dye looks splendid.
09:07It really suits her.
09:08Oh darling look what Piers has given me.
09:11Isn't she lovely?
09:13Yes.
09:15I think I'll call her Antigone.
09:17Oh.
09:18Not sure I like the sound of that.
09:20Didn't she bury her brother?
09:23Only after he was dead.
09:24Yes.
09:25Quite a long time after if I remember rightly.
09:28Shall we go and see if there's a look to you in the fridge shall we?
09:31What shall I get it for you?
09:32Are you sure you can manage those stairs?
09:33Oh yes.
09:35I'd quite like to see the kitchen again.
09:37I haven't been down there for months.
09:39Oh.
09:42Oh.
09:43Oh.
09:50I wish you hadn't done that.
09:53What?
09:54Brought that animal into the house.
09:56Oh don't you like cats?
09:57What a frightful shame.
09:59Dye's mad about them.
10:00Yes I can see them.
10:02Oh didn't you know?
10:04Yes I know she likes them of course but that is not the same thing as having one.
10:09Oh isn't it?
10:10Well one thing usually leads to the other.
10:12I mean presumably you like children that's why you have them.
10:17I mean it would be very nice to be consulted about what goes on here.
10:21Oh is that all?
10:22Oh I didn't realize I needed your permission to give my sister a present in her own house.
10:31Yes hello?
10:33It's all right darling.
10:35Thank you mommy.
10:36Come here.
10:36Come here.
10:41Diana what on earth is that creature doing here?
10:43Meet Antigone.
10:45She's a present.
10:46They'll keep her well away from me.
10:47You know they give me asthma.
10:48Mommy that's absolute nonsense.
10:53Good evening Robert.
10:54Good evening Robert.
10:56Piers.
10:56Why are you here?
10:58I'm visiting Dye.
10:59But you're not due till tomorrow.
11:00I caught an earlier flight.
11:02Oh.
11:03You might have let me know.
11:04I'm staying with friends.
11:05I won't be in the way.
11:06I suppose you'll be visiting us at some point.
11:08Your father would like to see you.
11:11How long are you staying?
11:12Well I'm waiting for Dye to pop and then I'm off back to New York.
11:15So you won't be here for Christmas?
11:18No.
11:19Coward.
11:20Well I'm glad I've caught you all together.
11:23It saves time.
11:29Diana you're not looking at all well.
11:31Are you getting enough rest?
11:33Yes of course.
11:33I think she looks marvelous.
11:35Huge but marvelous.
11:37If that animal gets under your feet and you fall downstairs you'll only have yourself and Piers to blame.
11:43Yes mommy.
11:44Really Piers I thought you had more sense.
11:47Thank you mommy.
11:48I really think your mother has a point you know.
11:52I'm glad we agree about something.
11:55Now.
11:56I've ordered the pram and the cot and Harrods can deliver in about.
11:59We won't be needing a cot.
12:01Nonsense of course you will.
12:02I mean I'm taking care of it.
12:03We've made our own arrangements.
12:06I see.
12:08Well one pram then.
12:10Is that acceptable?
12:11Very kind of you.
12:12Thank you mommy.
12:14Come again.
12:15What I really came to see you about Diana was.
12:19I've been to see Nanny Wilkinson.
12:22I went to Lyme Regis.
12:24I've spent the whole day talking to her.
12:27Well you know she's retired and her sister still depends on her.
12:30She wasn't sure at first.
12:32But I finally managed to persuade her to come.
12:36Thank God.
12:38Oh mommy you're wonderful.
12:40Oh what a load off my mind.
12:42That's pretty impressive.
12:43I wouldn't have thought you could pull that off.
12:46What is all this?
12:48Diana's old nanny.
12:49And mine come to that.
12:51She's finally agreed to look after the baby.
12:55But Diana can do that.
13:00Don't be silly darling.
13:02What do I know about babies?
13:03Nanny's an expert.
13:12Do we really have to have this person here?
13:15Darling I simply can't manage without her.
13:17But we'll never be alone.
13:19Of course we will.
13:19We'll always be alone.
13:21Nanny will be upstairs with the baby.
13:25I'm sorry.
13:27I'm just not used to this kind of thing.
13:29You soon will be.
13:30It's much easier honestly.
13:31Especially when I'm working.
13:33Working?
13:35I've only got a few years left in modelling.
13:37I can't waste them.
13:39Diana.
13:40Why didn't we talk about this?
13:42What?
13:43Having a nanny and you working.
13:46What's there to talk about?
13:48Well whether it's a good idea.
13:50I'm not happy about it.
13:51Darling you're not going to be difficult are you?
13:58What's that?
13:59Something moved.
14:00Only Antigone.
14:02She can't get comfortable.
14:03Come here.
14:04Pop it.
14:10I'm really not happy about her sleeping in the bed.
14:14She's got to while she's little.
14:15She's missing all her brothers and sisters.
14:24Well how are you?
14:26I'm fine.
14:27Shall I put the kettle on?
14:28No thanks.
14:33Have you thought any more about the Christmas holidays yet?
14:35Yes.
14:36I'll be staying here.
14:37It's easier.
14:38So anytime you want to visit the boys just hop in.
14:42But you still don't want them to come to us?
14:44No I'd rather not.
14:46Well it's just I'd like them to meet her.
14:48I know.
14:49Well you can take Duncan out anytime.
14:50That's easy.
14:52But well Jamie doesn't want to meet her.
14:55Still hasn't changed his mind?
14:57No.
14:59That's not surprising is it?
15:00He hardly ever wants to see me anymore does he?
15:03Well I haven't set him against you if that's what you mean.
15:05No of course not.
15:06I know that.
15:07But I mean all that business back in the summer.
15:08Him going out every time I came round.
15:10You know I mean it's ridiculous.
15:18As I'm not going up north at Huguenay I thought I'd go up this weekend.
15:21I've got a few days off.
15:23Well I just thought I'd mention it in case you were going.
15:25We don't all want to bump into each other in your mother's doorstep.
15:28No.
15:29You don't mind me going to see your mother?
15:31No of course not.
15:32I mean she'd be hurt if you didn't.
15:34I'm really fond of her apart from anything else.
15:37I'm gonna have to see my parents.
15:39She's like the jam after the medicine.
15:42Yes.
15:43Well how are they taking it?
15:46Well I've written to them all several times of course.
15:49I don't think they really understand.
15:51That's why I thought it'd be a good idea to go up.
15:53Easier to explain face to face.
15:56My father says my mother's ill.
15:57Well that's nothing new.
15:59Ah well don't let them bully you.
16:02Oh but this is their big moment.
16:03This is when they can say I told you so.
16:05I can't do them out of that.
16:09Well I'd best be on my way.
16:12Yes of course.
16:14Are you alright for money?
16:15You know I am.
16:17You've been over generally.
16:18Yeah I don't think so.
16:19Is everything going well?
16:21Oh fine.
16:23That's good.
16:32Well nice to see you.
16:33Alright take care of yourself.
16:35And you.
16:39See you soon.
16:40See you soon.
16:40Good luck of the weekend.
16:42Thanks I'll need it.
16:44Oh I nearly forgot.
16:47My solicitor says the case comes up next month.
16:50So you should be cleared by January.
17:05Time is fine but that bloody cat Pierce Porter gets into everything.
17:09And as for a mother I think you had a lucky escape there.
17:12Ah when she was 18 she was.
17:15Ah well she's certainly changed.
17:16She's forever dropping in with packages from Harrods.
17:19And she's determined we're going to have a nanny for the baby.
17:22I mean it's bloody ridiculous.
17:24Nanny Wilkinson?
17:25Do you know her?
17:26Of course.
17:28When Diana was a child all our visits were together with Nanny.
17:32You'll like her.
17:34She's of the old school.
17:35Do you approve of all this?
17:37Approve?
17:38Disapprove?
17:39What's the difference?
17:40All these English families are the same.
17:42You cannot change them.
17:45Concentrate your energies my friend.
17:46On what's important.
17:48Now perhaps I think it is time the bank became involved in your residential development.
18:22Not late Anna.
18:24No no.
18:25It's just it's all these months without seeing you.
18:29It's been so long.
18:30I wrote to you.
18:31I telephoned.
18:32Aye but it's not the same though is it?
18:34I even asked you to visit me.
18:36Yes but then you know your mother is not fit to travel.
18:40Yeah well I wasn't fit to travel either as it happens.
18:42You?
18:43Come on Judy.
18:44Young.
18:45Strong.
18:46You've got your health.
18:48Well I've been very depressed and that's the same as being ill.
18:51Where is mother?
18:52In bed of course.
18:53At this hour?
18:55She doesn't come down much these days.
18:57I'm afraid it's hit her very hard.
18:59What?
19:00Well you have troubles.
19:02She's not been the same since you told us.
19:05Well I could hardly not tell you could I?
19:08Yes but you could have broken it more gently.
19:11You know how sensitive she is.
19:13I'll go out.
19:19Would you like a cup of tea?
19:21Yes I would thank you.
19:22If it's not too much trouble.
19:31Mother?
19:32Are you awake?
19:38There you are.
19:39How are you feeling?
19:40Oh I don't know what I've done to deserve this.
19:43Is it one of your headaches?
19:44Headache.
19:45Oh you don't know the meaning of the word.
19:48I don't get a wink of sleep day or night.
19:53Oh I just lie here very still so as not to disturb your father but I don't sleep.
20:01I haven't closed my eyes for weeks.
20:04Have you seen the doctor?
20:06He's a fool.
20:08Heartless into the bargain.
20:10He says there's nothing he can do.
20:13You mean he can't find anything wrong with you?
20:15I think he's afraid to tell me the truth.
20:18But I would rather face it no matter what.
20:22Do you know I've got no appetite?
20:25Oh your father he tries his best with his cooking.
20:28I mustn't give him that but I just don't seem to fancy anything.
20:34I'm not surprised if you stay in bed all day.
20:37Hope you treat your patients better than you treat your family.
20:41So do I.
20:41They're seriously ill.
20:43Oh God.
20:45Don't cry mother.
20:47Oh I'm sorry.
20:49Oh God.
20:50Well I've been under a lot of strain too you know.
20:55It's pretty grim at the moment without Robbie.
20:58Trying to keep the boys in an even keel and I get very tired at work.
21:02Oh I can't bear it.
21:04You can't bear it.
21:06I always knew he'd treat you badly but I never dreamed he'd leave you.
21:16Jean what have you done? How could you upset your mother?
21:19Very easily it seems.
21:20She's got to get an annulment. That's all there is to it.
21:24Your mother's quite right Jean.
21:26I've had a work with Father Logan and there's plenty of grounds that might do it.
21:30It's not just non-consummation.
21:34Obviously that wouldn't do at all.
21:36There are other things.
21:37In fact now you're here I think you should go and see him.
21:39You must ring him up and make an appointment.
21:42You better get it started.
21:44These things take time you know.
21:46It has to go to Rome.
21:48Am I hearing you correctly?
21:50That Catholic wedding you bludgeoned Robbie into 13 years ago.
21:53You want me to pretend it never happened?
21:54It wasn't valid Jean.
21:56It can't have been or this would never have happened.
21:58We've just got to put a finger on the reason.
22:00I mean let's pretend that you forced me into it.
22:02That would do nicely.
22:02Oh you silly girl.
22:04Can't you see that we're trying to help you?
22:07Do you want to be alone for the rest of your life?
22:12Or living in sin?
22:14For God's sake.
22:15What do you think I want?
22:19Come on!
22:25Go.
22:33How can I do this?
22:34How can I do this?
22:42To the rest of my life?
22:43I'm not sure.
22:43You've got to be alone in it.
22:43I'm sorry.
22:45I've heard.
22:45You're locked down here.
22:46I'm sorry.

26:43some fancy woman she's very beautiful handsome is as handsome does look mum I know he wants you to
26:54meet her well please don't think because of me I mean what I'm trying to say is I
26:58don't want to get in the way of you and Robbie and her meeting you might like her
27:02it's just that I want to feel I can still come and see you now and then and bring
27:05the boys of course there's no question of me meeting her I don't want to meet her if I did
27:33oh sorry I didn't know you could see us she Diana yes
27:44hello
27:48oh yes of course
27:54yes where's Jamie I don't know what do you mean you don't know where is he not coming what
28:03he said to tell you he's not coming don't be angry dad please that's what he said it's not
28:09my fault where is he I don't know honestly now listen Duncan leave it come on Duncan we're
28:17going to go out aren't we the three of us and we'll lay on a nice drive and have a
28:20lovely lunch
28:38come in
28:41I simply don't understand it's quite straightforward Mr Mackenzie Jamie has simply decided that he
28:48doesn't want to see you today do sit down please I realize that damn it but where is he well
28:56he could
28:56have been in a number of places swimming forestry woodwork even in his own dormitory well presumably
29:03somebody could find it given the time
29:05darling let's leave it we've had a nice afternoon with Duncan Jamie wants the salt why not let him
29:13I'm glad Miss Crawley appreciates the situation
29:17yes of course old crab the chemistry master often talks about him he made quite an impression when
29:23he was here look if you two could stop reminiscing for a minute don't I have a right to see
29:27my own
29:27child not by force Mr Mackenzie which is what you seem to be suggesting but I came here especially to
29:33see him
29:33I appreciate that however you're also paying us a considerable amount of money to teach Jamie amongst other things
29:38to think for himself if he's made up his mind he doesn't want to see you that is his decision
29:45we can't alter it what do you mean you can't if you think about it Mr Mackenzie you realize there's
29:50no point in forcing it is it what would it achieve all I can think about is that my son's
29:56somewhere in
29:56this bloody school and you won't find him that's right is that all you have to say no I could
30:02say a lot
30:03more but I'm trying to restrain myself this is a very delicate situation I'm sure Miss Crawley
30:08knows what I mean those two boys are having to make enormous adjustments at a very vulnerable age
30:14they're both doing it in different ways that is all
30:34oh dear we've arrived
30:36well I'm good and I'm what hope it's a good idea
30:38it's the only way you wait here I'll have a wire with them
31:03I've got nothing to say to you.
31:05Mum, we've got to talk.
31:06Diana's in the car.
31:07We've come a long way.
31:16I've got nothing to say to you.
31:21Mum!
31:48It's no use. She wouldn't speak to me.
31:53Bet you I can get in.
31:56Just you watch.
31:57No, I don't want her insulting you.
31:59How much to bet?
32:24No, I don't want her.
32:26No, I don't want her.
32:33Rob!
32:34Rob!
32:41My pains have started.
32:43You better get in.
33:02Oh, isn't this exciting?
33:04Are you all right?
33:04Yes, of course I am.
33:07Bit of luck this.
33:08I'll get it over with early.
33:10Are you near a station?
33:11Station?
33:11It's the nearest hospital you need.
33:13But I've got to get back to London to the clinic.
33:15But you can't travel in this condition.
33:16Yes, of course I can.
33:19Look, it'll be ages yet, all night probably.
33:22I can sit on a train with a few pains.
33:24What's the difference?
33:24No, you can't.
33:25It might come sooner than you think.
33:27You'll end up having it in the seat.
33:29You don't want that, do you?
33:31Look, I want the sink there.
33:33It's all arranged.
33:36Oh, my God.
33:37Shh.
33:38No, no.
33:39Please, get me my coat.
33:47No.
33:49Just the same with the others.
33:52I love you so much.
33:54Oh, no.
33:55I love you too, darling.
33:56I hate to see you in pain.
33:59All right, then go away then.
34:00I didn't mean that.
34:01I hate to think I'm causing you all this pain.
34:03I think nothing of it.
34:04I'm not doing it again, though, that's for sure.
34:08Oh.
34:13She talked her way in.
34:15Then her pain started.
34:17What could I do, Andy?
34:20But I feel bad about it.
34:21I promised Jean I wouldn't.
34:23Ah, well, kind of a help.
34:25What's she like?
34:26Well, she didn't make a fuss, I'll give her that.
34:29We had some job stopping her getting on the next train to London.
34:33You liked her?
34:35Of course I didn't like her.
34:37You can like her as well as liking Jean.
34:40In fact, it might not be a bad thing.
34:43Oh, well, that's fine.
34:45What are the pains like?
34:46What do you think they're like?
34:48Painful.
34:50What often are you having them?
34:51About every five minutes.
35:09Hey, you're in labour all right.
35:11Oh, I realise that.
35:15Oh, Mac, we could have been on the train by now.
35:21I'm not his wife he's my lover and he's called Mackenzie come with me

36:06how is she very tired they wouldn't let me stay with her anymore no they don't
36:11hello Andy hello Rob I'll get you a drum
36:20it's unfair that we would have to go through so much that's worth it
36:25I felt so helpless I couldn't spare her any of that pain
36:28she'll forget it when she sees her bed thanks Andy
36:33but I ought to be there maybe it's easier for her if you know there
36:37it will not be long now Rob an hour or two you'll have your bed
