00:00Ladies, does your washing powder leave your whites dreary and grey?
00:04Try new Flix Flakes in your wash.
00:08Flix brightens my day every day.
00:13This is ludicrous, Ron.
00:15Cut.
00:17What's the problem, Catherine?
00:18Catherine Vale is the epitome of glamour.
00:22My fans don't want to see me like this.
00:24That's the twist. You loved it yesterday.
00:26I don't know. It's not the way the public see you, Catherine, but you're doing it brilliantly.
00:30Lesson number one, Eva dear. Always be better than the material.
00:35I wrote the material?
00:37You have managed to find fault with every single one of my ideas.
00:42Could that possibly be because they've all been terrible?
00:45Right. We have three days left to deliver the finished advert, so...
00:50I know you don't love this concept, but I also know only you can make it sing.
00:56I've told you. You cannot confine Catherine Vale to a set.
01:01I need air, space, light. I must breathe.
01:06Of course. Leave it with me.
01:10You let her walk all over you.
01:12We have to keep her on board somehow.
01:14We need to get out of the studio, find new inspiration.
01:18We could film in High Park.
01:20Better than that.
01:22I know just the place.
01:24Away from London. No distractions.
01:26We can nail this.
01:28Great. I'll call Frank.
01:30Uh...
01:31It is his company.
01:33He doesn't need to know.
01:34But I do need to call a priest.
01:37He doesn't need to know.
01:38He doesn't need to know.
01:40He doesn't need to know.
01:51He doesn't need to know.
02:01Come to see.
02:06He stands for all over me.
02:06I can't thank you enough for letting us film here, Father.
02:09It's a pleasure to welcome you back to the garden you played in as a boy.
02:14Mind your backs, please.
02:15I knew your grandfather, Ron. He's a lovely man.
02:19Well, being sacristan was so important to him.
02:23He'd be very happy that we're donating to St Mary's.
02:25Well, the Church Roof Fund is very grateful.
02:30Now, Mr Sanderson, we're very keen to know the tricks of the advertising trade.
02:34Oh, yeah. Like how you make us want to buy stuff we don't need.
02:39Let's go and have a look.
02:43Almost ready, Ron.
02:45My copywriter, Meg Wilson.
02:47Beautiful place you've got.
02:48Ah, this is more like it.
02:50Oh, there she is. Catherine Vale, Hollywood star in the flesh.
02:55Mrs S is her biggest fan.
02:57Welcome to Campbellford, Mrs Vale.
03:00Isabel Sullivan, parish secretary. I adore your work.
03:04Oh, it's a joy to meet my public.
03:06My protégé, Miss Eva Richards, a fine actress in the making.
03:10I hope to one day be as brilliant as Catherine.
03:13It's good to dream, dear.
03:15Now, Ron, darling, what's my line?
03:17I was thinking something like,
03:18Flicks, while she's so bright, you'll feel like a star.
03:22That's not quite right, is it?
03:24How about Flicks, while she's so bright, you'll feel like me, a star?
03:29That's not what I wrote.
03:30I really like that, Catherine.
03:31God, isn't she incredible?
03:33Yeah, she's definitely something.
03:35Well, let's rehearse.
03:37Rehearthing.
03:39I know.
03:40Let her try it, and then we'll find something better.
03:44OK.
03:45If everyone is ready for a rehearsal, and...
03:52Action.
03:54Flicks, wash is so bright, you'll feel just like me, a star.
04:00Perfect.
04:01It definitely had something, but perhaps if...
04:04No, no, that's it.
04:06Now, darling, find me somewhere out of the sun.
04:08You're welcome to use the presbytery.
04:10Miss Palmer's prepared tea and cake.
04:12Eva, bring my correspondence.
04:15And you, Mrs Mulligan.
04:17Sullivan.
04:17Come, I'll sign a picture for you.
04:19Oh, would you?
04:20How marvellous.
04:25What a fascinating process.
04:27Isn't it?
04:28You don't happen to have a telephone I might use?
04:30Of course, in my study.
04:34I adored you in Love in the Dust.
04:37You had such chemistry with Saul Hobbs, and I could pellet it still.
04:41Dear Saul, superb actor, awful man.
04:45One mustn't speak ill of the dead, but, oh, truly.
04:49Eva, letters?
04:50This one's from Biggie Baxter.
04:52The theatre impresario.
04:54He's a dear friend.
04:55Could it be about the audition?
04:56Take them back to my room at our digs.
04:57There's a good girl.
04:59But...
04:59Now.
05:01Ah, Eva.
05:02We could use you on set.
05:03She's running an errand for me.
05:05When you're back, then.
05:08Won't be long now, Catherine.
05:10I'm perfectly happy chatting with Mrs Tulliver.
05:16Sorry, where's the telephone?
05:17Erm, through there.
05:19Who are you calling?
05:20No-one.
05:23Just the office.
05:25Erm, fancy some cake, Mrs Vale?
05:29I'll...
05:30Charmin.
05:32Don't walk away from me.
05:34Who are you calling?
05:37Catherine, I am simply making a telephone call.
05:40This relentless neediness has got to stop me.
05:42It cannot go on like this.
05:45Bender.
05:50If we can make them feel something, people are more likely to buy what we're selling.
05:54I see.
05:56Fascinating.
05:58Ron said you needed me?
06:00Yes.
06:01Could you stand in for Catherine so that we can check the shot?
06:16Flick's wash is so bright, you'll feel just like me.
06:20A fated has-been Hollywood star.
06:25That's a bit harsh.
06:27True, though.
06:28Don't let Catherine hear you.
06:31Too late, I'm afraid.
06:32Catherine, I-I didn't mean to be-
06:35Terrible actress.
06:37Step aside.
06:39You're out of your depth.
06:41I prefer to do the line as agreed, without Eva's hilarious ad-lib.
06:48Ron, I'm ready.
06:51Yes, Catherine.
06:52Right.
06:53Going for a take.
06:57Roll camera.
06:59Something happen?
07:00I'm fine.
07:01Let's just shoot.
07:04Rolling and...
07:06Action!
07:07Flick's wash is so bright, you'll feel just like me.
07:10A shining star.
07:14What the hell of stars got to do with Flick's?
07:18Frank.
07:19Er, cut.
07:21You found us.
07:22Great.
07:23You moved the chute without telling me.
07:25What is he doing here?
07:28Frank Hicks.
07:29Flick's managing director.
07:31Is this your gaff, is it?
07:33Very nice.
07:35So, Ron, what happened to Flick's brightening your day?
07:41Erm, can we have a quiet word?
07:52Never a dull moment in advertising.
07:57I know my customers, and all they care about is, can our flakes give them dazzling whites?
08:03Yes, but in advertising, it works when it's about aspiration.
08:08Oh.
08:08Oh, sorry, I'm just sticking me washing on.
08:12Let's ask this nice lady.
08:15You wash with Flick's, right?
08:19What's more important, feelings or whites?
08:23Erm, whites.
08:25Definitely.
08:26See?
08:27You're a good man, Ron.
08:29I like you.
08:30But let's do it my way, eh?
08:31Fine, but let me deal with Catherine.
08:35She can be tricky.
08:36Just a bit.
08:39We...
08:41I think it would work better if, instead of the cocktail, you were holding the box of Flick's...
08:48That's not what we agreed.
08:50And if you could say, Flick's washes whites so bright, I'm dazzled.
08:56What happened to my starlight?
08:59It wasn't landing.
09:02Well, perhaps instead, I will not take acting tips from a talentless amateur, Miss Richards.
09:11Oh, come on.
09:12She was only trying to help.
09:14And you can shut up, too.
09:15What do you know about anything?
09:16Lady, I worked on Madison Avenue.
09:18Girl, I worked in Hollywood.
09:21Now let me speak to my director alone.
09:25Oh, blimey.
09:27It's only washing Flick's.
09:29Catherine takes all of her roles very seriously, Wenda.
09:43Going for a take.
09:45Rolling.
09:47Action.
09:49Flick's washes whites so bright, I'm dazzled.
09:54Really give it some welly.
09:56You're here to sell Flick's, remember?
09:59Cut.
10:00Frank, don't.
10:02Did you just direct me?
10:05And lift the box a bit higher.
10:08That's it.
10:09Nice big close-up.
10:13No-one manhandles Catherine Vale.
10:17Catherine, Frank was just...
10:19That's it.
10:20I quit.
10:25She's coming back, right?
10:27That's lunch, everybody.
10:29Lunch?
10:30Go and get her.
10:32You are welcome to try.
10:36Nothing is ever enough to make Catherine happy.
10:40Nothing.
10:40That's just so sad.
10:42She's rich, she's famous.
10:44What's she got to be unhappy about?
10:47Did you speak to her?
10:48I tried.
10:50Needed to down a stiff drink after.
10:52Blimey, she's a...
10:54I know.
10:55You all right, Mr Higgs?
10:57Not cut out for this advertising lark, father.
11:00Catherine is missing.
11:01She's not our digs.
11:03What did you say to her?
11:05Well, just to come back and finish.
11:07She doesn't carry money, so she can't have gone far.
11:10Might I suggest we split up and search for her?
11:13Good idea, father.
11:14Kid gloves when we find her, please, everyone.
11:19Honestly, she's forever doing things like this.
11:21Storming off, making everything about her.
11:23I'm sure we'll find her.
11:26Hang on.
11:27What's that?
11:45Drowned.
11:46Obvious signs of a struggle.
11:48Yeah.
11:49Flicks.
11:50Hmm?
11:51Yeah, five-foot swears by it.
11:53Hmm.
11:54Yes.
11:54Thank you, Sergeant.
11:56Corral the witnesses, would you?
11:57Not you, sir.
12:03There's blood under her fingernails.
12:06She must have fought back.
12:08We'll get that tested.
12:10Father, you need to steer clear of this case.
12:14Catherine Vale's death will make headlines.
12:16This investigation must be watertight.
12:20Poor choice of words, but...
12:23Have you seen her ears?
12:25They're green.
12:27Hmm.
12:28Perhaps.
12:29But that could...
12:29Look, look.
12:30It's exactly what I'm talking about.
12:32No investigating.
12:39Can you all account for your whereabouts over lunch?
12:42I lost aura on set.
12:45I telephoned my wife.
12:46Our baby's not been well.
12:49And then I was with Father Brown.
12:51I spoke to Frank after he saw her, then went back to my room.
12:57Mr. Hicks?
12:58We had a quiet word in the scullery, but she was alive when I left.
13:03You weren't wearing that neckerchief this morning.
13:07No, um...
13:08It felt a bit cold.
13:10Could you remove it, please, sir?
13:19How did you acquire those scratches, Mr. Hicks?
13:22It's not what it looks like.
13:27Frank Hicks, I'm arresting you on suspicion of murder.
13:29What are you doing?
13:31You're not obliged to say anything, but anything you say may be given in evidence.
13:34It wasn't me.
13:36I swear I didn't kill her.
13:42I tried to apologise, but she just wouldn't have it.
13:46And then she scratched you?
13:48She went to walk out, I grabbed her arm, and she dug her nails in.
13:54My family company's on the line here.
13:57She was the new face of Flicks.
14:00Why would I kill her?
14:01Do you know of anyone else who might have wanted to harm Mrs. Vale?
14:06Apparently she threw her weight around with everyone.
14:09Even said she wanted me banned from the set.
14:13And she said she was going to tell Ron to sack Meg.
14:18Does Miss Wilson know about all this?
14:22I warned her.
14:23I don't know what she'd done to deserve that.
14:26Will you help me, Father?
14:29I will endeavour to find out who did this.
14:32And will you help them to finish the advert?
14:35I can't lose my business, too.
14:37No, I'll do what I can.
14:41I just can't believe it.
14:44Frank seemed like such a nice bloke.
14:46I know.
14:48And what about the advert?
14:50That concept could have worked, but now Catherine's gone.
14:54We had a fresh start with one day left.
14:55Fresh start?
14:58Fresh like...
15:01A summer meadow?
15:03Fresh like...
15:04A young woman running through the flowers.
15:07But Flicks Flakes are even fresher.
15:10It's all about the mood.
15:12We need a meadow and a young woman.
15:14What?
15:14We've already got one.
15:16Me?
15:18But Catherine's barely cold.
15:20She would have wanted you to do this.
15:21I'm not so sure about that.
15:23Show must go on, Eva.
15:43You're strolling through the fields
15:44when you come across just washed sheets.
15:47And the freshness overwhelms you
15:48when you say,
15:49Flicks.
15:50Wash is so fresh,
15:52I can feel it.
15:53Got it?
15:54I'll give it my all.
15:58Oh!
15:59Nice frock.
16:00Are you ready for this?
16:02I think so.
16:04It's all I've ever wanted.
16:06I've all...
16:06Wait for it to happen, though.
16:11I admire your devotion to your profession, Miss Walson.
16:15Clearly means a lot to you.
16:17Sure does.
16:18For a woman like me,
16:19a job like this is hard to come by.
16:21It would be a blow to lose your position.
16:27Frank told you.
16:29Catherine had no power to fire me.
16:32Ron's my boss, not her.
16:34But she clearly had significant sway over him.
16:39Did you confront her?
16:41All right, yes.
16:43I found her in the scullery after her spat with Frank.
16:48Why didn't you tell the police?
16:50Because I know how it looks.
16:53I asked her not to fire me.
16:55It didn't work.
16:56So, to be honest,
16:58I used a bit of flattery.
17:00Ah, yes.
17:02I told her I'm her biggest fan.
17:04That it was my idea to hire her.
17:07That way her ailing career got a boost
17:09and we got a star.
17:11I really wanted it to work,
17:13but you saw how she was.
17:16Can you think of anyone
17:17who might have wanted Catherine dead?
17:20Throw a rock, father.
17:22She gave anyone who met her a reason.
17:24Eva.
17:25Feeling frank, Jack?
17:27Wish me luck.
17:28Good luck.
17:29Break her leg.
17:32Well?
17:34Well, she clearly has a motive,
17:36but enough to kill?
17:37I don't know.
17:42Catherine's death has worked out well for Miss Richards.
17:46Father, she adored her.
17:48She called her a faded husband.
17:51And Catherine snapped her, Eva,
17:54about the letter from Bonky Summer.
17:57Binky Baxter.
17:58She told Eva to take it to her room and her digs.
18:03Did she, indeed?
18:14Oh, pink silk sheets.
18:19Oh, how exotic.
18:22Aren't they a bit slippy?
18:23She lived such an incredible life.
18:27From poplar to Hollywood,
18:30from rags to riches.
18:33She had a few years away from the screen
18:35when the talkies came along.
18:37Lost count of how many times she'd been married.
18:40Rumours of lots of affairs.
18:42Never any children.
18:45So sad the way her career just faded away.
18:49Indeed.
18:50No letter from Binky Baxter in here.
18:54Fleury de Ville.
18:56Très exclusive.
18:58Steve, you cannot get this anywhere on this side of the channel.
19:02All right, let's have a whiff then.
19:04Brenda, a little respect, please.
19:07Besides, that's not how you do it.
19:09Spray a little mist into the air
19:11and glide through.
19:14Oh, that is revolting.
19:17Oh.
19:19Hi there.
19:21Look.
19:22Ah.
19:25A jigsaw puzzle.
19:29Something about an audition.
19:32Catherine snapped at Eva when she asked about an audition.
19:35She was far too famous to still be doing that, surely.
19:39As you suggested,
19:40too inexperienced for the part.
19:43Inexperienced?
19:44Catherine?
19:46Role of Juliet.
19:48Oh, she's far too old for that.
19:52Well, if it wasn't Miss Vale,
19:55who was auditioning?
20:07Flix wash is so fresh.
20:09I can feel it.
20:12Cut.
20:13It's not working.
20:15You know, it's just...
20:16Who am I?
20:17Where am I going?
20:18And why am I in this field?
20:19None of that matters.
20:21It's all about the mood.
20:22I can't play a mood.
20:24Can I?
20:24I understand.
20:26Look,
20:27take a break while we have a think.
20:31Such a simple idea.
20:33Catherine and I have to make it work.
20:37Eva,
20:38Catherine snapped at you yesterday
20:39when you asked about Brinky Baxter's letter.
20:41Yes.
20:42We found the letter in Mrs Vale's room.
20:45Did you audition for the role of Juliet?
20:49Catherine said she'd recommend me to him.
20:51So I did well, maybe in with a chance.
20:53And yet,
20:54the letter revealed that unbeknownst to you,
20:57Mrs Vale had urged Mr Baxter not to cast you.
21:03How could she do that?
21:05She was my mentor.
21:06She was supposed to support me,
21:08not stab me in the back.
21:08You must have been upset.
21:10Of course.
21:11That's why I tore it up.
21:12I was furious.
21:13Furious enough to hurt her?
21:16No.
21:17I idolised her.
21:18I could have her do something like that.
21:20Even if it meant you could step into her shoes.
21:23I've wanted to be Catherine ever since I was six years old.
21:25There's no way on earth I could have killed her.
21:28Let's go again
21:29and just try relaxing on the next take.
21:34May I?
21:35Father.
21:38Mrs Vale was your mentor,
21:40but her acting style is not yours.
21:44Perhaps you could be a little less formal.
21:47More yourself.
21:49He's right.
21:50You should stop acting.
21:51I've only just started.
21:53No, she means
21:54you've been performing it
21:56as Catherine would have.
21:58Stiff.
22:00Old school.
22:02This time,
22:03let all that go
22:05and just
22:06be.
22:08I'll try.
22:09Let's go again!
22:11Thank you, Father.
22:15Poor Eva.
22:17For her mentor
22:18you ought to turn on her like that.
22:22Sergeant.
22:23Mr Hicks has the same blood group
22:25found under Catherine's fingernails.
22:27Extremely rare type.
22:28We're charging him with murder.
22:30I see.
22:31He wants to talk to you, Father.
22:33Says he's remembering something.
22:42Uh-oh.
22:43Thanks for coming, Father.
22:45This is a nightmare.
22:48How can they hang me
22:49for something I didn't do?
22:50I'm working on that.
22:52There's something
22:53you want to tell me.
22:55I've had a lot of time
22:56to think stuck in here.
22:58Going over every moment
23:00from yesterday
23:01and something struck me.
23:03You remember when Ron
23:04and Catherine
23:05had that quiet word?
23:06I do.
23:08I heard her say something like
23:11take back what you said
23:13and I'll do it your way.
23:15Or else.
23:17You think she had some kind of
23:19hold over Mr Sanderson?
23:21It definitely seemed that way to me.
23:23If she said jump,
23:24he jumped.
23:26He wasn't the most experienced,
23:28bless him.
23:29Only set up his business last year.
23:32Forgive me,
23:33but if your firm has so much riding
23:35on this advertisement,
23:36why not use someone more seasoned?
23:38He did this campaign I saw
23:41in one of my wife's magazines.
23:44Exclusive French perfume.
23:47I can't remember the name.
23:50Fleury de Vie.
23:52Yeah.
23:53That's the one.
23:58Goodness!
23:59Flix wash is so fresh,
24:01I can really feel it.
24:03Cut!
24:04Oh,
24:05I don't know.
24:07What do you think?
24:08I'm really trying not to act.
24:10And it's great,
24:10but the concept doesn't fit you anymore.
24:14No,
24:14no,
24:14you're right.
24:15It needs something else.
24:17Oh,
24:18come on.
24:19It's not
24:19atomic physics.
24:21All we're trying to do
24:22is sell Flix Flakes
24:23to housewives.
24:24Um,
24:26Father.
24:29Housewives buy Flix Flakes.
24:31Right,
24:32and?
24:33And what are housewives?
24:35Um,
24:37mothers?
24:38Yes,
24:39and?
24:40And daughters.
24:43Precisely.
24:45You can make people feel,
24:47you can make them buy.
24:49And what makes people feel
24:52more than the unbreakable love
24:54between a mother and her daughter?
24:57It's genius.
24:59Have you ever thought about
25:00going into advertising,
25:01Father?
25:02What do you think,
25:03Meg?
25:04Mothers and daughters,
25:05the sacred heart of the family.
25:07I can see it.
25:11It could work,
25:12I guess,
25:13but we've got one afternoon,
25:15we're low on film stock
25:17and no cast.
25:17I mean,
25:18I would love
25:18to play the daughter,
25:20I'd know how to be that part.
25:21You're hired,
25:22again.
25:23And Mrs. S
25:24could play the mother.
25:28I could.
25:30As a mother,
25:31and a daughter,
25:32and an actress.
25:34I do have all the relevant experience,
25:36if you think I'm suitable.
25:38Suitable?
25:39You're perfect.
25:40What do you say, Meg?
25:42It writes itself.
25:44I can give it a try.
25:46But what's the setting?
25:48Actually,
25:49I think we had it right
25:50the first time.
25:52Father,
25:52do you think we could...
25:53Yes,
25:54of course.
25:55Great.
25:56New plan.
25:57All back to the presbytery.
25:58If you can get everything set up,
26:00write the script.
26:01You know what it needs.
26:04Oh, sorry, Ron.
26:05Um,
26:05just, um,
26:06a few queries.
26:08Who is this mother?
26:10What's her background?
26:11What does she want from life?
26:13What accent shall I do her with?
26:17Oh, er...
26:19Meg will answer all your questions,
26:21Mrs. Sullivan.
26:22I just need to make a telephone call.
26:24Right.
26:29Meg.
26:31I love you, darling.
26:34I'm sorry I've been away so long.
26:38But home tomorrow.
26:40Give Mary a kiss for me.
26:46It must be hard to maintain a marriage
26:48when your work is so all-consuming.
26:52Edith's finding it very hard with the new baby.
26:54I feel terrible being so distracted.
26:58I noticed Mrs. Vale
27:00placed demands on you.
27:03She had a
27:04flacon of fleurie de vie
27:06perfume
27:07amongst her most personal possessions.
27:12I understand
27:13it's very hard to come by.
27:16What are you implying, father?
27:18Does Mrs. Sanderson
27:20know about your indiscretion?
27:24No.
27:26It would break her heart.
27:30Edith is my
27:31first and only love.
27:33I stayed faithful all through the war.
27:36Even during my service.
27:38And then...
27:39You met Mrs. Vale.
27:43Such a cliché, father.
27:46Edith's been so
27:47preoccupied with the baby
27:48I was ripe for the picking.
27:51But Catherine had such
27:52magnetism
27:53and charisma.
27:55I couldn't say no to her.
27:58And I didn't want to.
28:02But then yesterday
28:03Catherine demanded
28:05I leave Edith
28:06to be with her.
28:08I refused.
28:09Told her it was over.
28:12And she swore
28:14she'd tell Edith
28:15everything
28:16if I didn't take it back.
28:18Did you kill her?
28:19No, I'm not a murderer.
28:22But it is true.
28:23With her gone
28:24my only real problem
28:26is how to finish the advert.
28:29And how to deal
28:30with your guilt.
28:32I can't tell Edith.
28:36She'd leave me.
28:39Mr. Sanderson
28:41The truth may wound
28:43but it can also heal.
28:52I think she'd be more glamorous.
28:55Meg said plain.
28:58Dowdy!
28:59Maureen has style.
29:02Who's Maureen?
29:03It's the name I've given her.
29:05She's from the Bristol area.
29:07What, via Barnsley?
29:10Mrs. Sullivan,
29:11you look the part.
29:12Thank you, Father.
29:15You spoke to Ron.
29:16Did he...?
29:17Guilty of moral weakness,
29:19yes.
29:20Bit of murder?
29:22I don't think so.
29:24To who's next?
29:26That's just it.
29:28I don't know.
29:30Look at you.
29:33Perfect mother.
29:35And you have a fan already.
29:39Edgar,
29:40what are you doing here?
29:42I ticked him off.
29:43Well,
29:44I have to be here
29:44to see this.
29:45We need you on set,
29:47Isabel.
29:47Can I
29:48have a minute?
29:51Oh!
29:52Yeah.
29:57Perfect mother, eh?
29:59You're already
30:00the perfect wife.
30:01Are we ready for this?
30:03My face
30:04on every television
30:05in the land,
30:06being recognised
30:07in the street?
30:09And what's Eddie
30:09going to say?
30:10This
30:11will change our lives.
30:14Yes.
30:15Certainly change
30:16our washing flakes.
30:18Edgar,
30:19I'm being serious.
30:21You'll be wonderful
30:22as you always are
30:23and then
30:24life will go back
30:25to normal.
30:27Now,
30:29break a leg.
30:33Eva,
30:34you're struggling
30:35with your whites,
30:36then your mother
30:37comes to the rescue
30:38with Flix Flakes.
30:39Now,
30:40Isabel.
30:40Maureen,
30:41I'm in character.
30:44Maureen,
30:44your daughter
30:45really needs your help.
30:46Jeannie.
30:47That's her name.
30:49Fine.
30:50Jeannie has
30:51struggled without you
30:52but now
30:53she truly needs you
30:54to be her perfect mother.
30:55Yes.
30:57I can be that.
30:59Great.
31:00Let's try a run-through.
31:01Meg,
31:02if you can drop
31:02the box in on cue.
31:04Rehearsing.
31:08And?
31:09Hey,
31:10I got your notes,
31:11sir.
31:11Have I missed the action?
31:12Not yet,
31:13Sergeant.
31:13Oh,
31:13fancy us knowing
31:14a television star,
31:15eh?
31:15Quiet on set,
31:16please.
31:16Sorry.
31:17Sorry.
31:18Action.
31:21Gray again?
31:22Why can't I get
31:23my whites as white
31:24as yours,
31:24mother?
31:25That's because
31:26you need
31:26my secret ingredient.
31:28Oh,
31:29maybe try it
31:30in your own accent,
31:31Mrs. Sullivan.
31:32Maureen,
31:33I mean.
31:34If you insist.
31:40That's because
31:40you need
31:41my secret ingredient,
31:42darling,
31:43flicks.
31:45Flicks?
31:46Just one scoop
31:47in my machine
31:48gives me perfect whites.
31:50Every wash.
31:51It's wonderful writing,
31:53Miss Wilson.
31:55I don't know
31:56how I'll ever be able
31:57to manage
31:58without you,
31:58mother.
31:59I'll always be
32:00with you.
32:01Mothers.
32:03Because
32:03we'll always
32:05have
32:06flicks.
32:06And their daughters.
32:08Um,
32:09oh,
32:09thank you.
32:09I'm so sorry.
32:10I don't feel so good.
32:12All right.
32:14Uh,
32:14Brenda,
32:15can I get you
32:16to step in?
32:17That was perfect,
32:18you two.
32:18We're gonna go
32:19for a take.
32:21Oh.
32:35Miss Wilson!
32:55That's because
32:56you need
32:56my secret ingredient,
32:58darling.
32:58Flicks.
32:59Oh!
33:00No,
33:01that's a bit
33:01too quick,
33:02Brenda.
33:02Oh,
33:03sorry,
33:03Mrs S.
33:04Cut.
33:05The fishing rod
33:06isn't working.
33:16Need my secret
33:17ingredient,
33:18darling.
33:18Flicks.
33:19Ow!
33:21Are you all right?
33:24Cut.
33:35That's because
33:35you need
33:36my secret ingredient,
33:37darling.
33:38Flux.
33:38Flicks.
33:40God,
33:40crumbs.
33:41I'm so sorry.
33:42Flicks,
33:42of course.
33:43It says so
33:43on the box.
34:05You killed Mrs Vale.
34:07Move,
34:08father.
34:09I will run you down.
34:11But you're not a
34:12cold-blooded killer.
34:14You did what you did
34:16because your heart
34:17was broken.
34:20Catherine Vale
34:21was your mother.
34:34How did you figure it out?
34:37Your reluctance
34:39to write a script
34:40about mothers
34:40and daughters.
34:42Then your emotional
34:44response to the scene.
34:47And
34:48Mrs Vale's earrings
34:50dyed her skin green,
34:51likewise your watch,
34:53from holding her
34:54under
34:54soapy water.
34:56Yeah.
34:59You hired her
35:01to get close to her.
35:04I spent my life
35:06trying to trace
35:07my breath mother.
35:09Then
35:11last year
35:12my father
35:13found me.
35:15He was dying.
35:17Cancer.
35:19He wanted me
35:21to know the truth.
35:24Saul Hobson.
35:27Her co-star
35:30in
35:30Love in the Dust.
35:33I met him
35:34in the hospice
35:35the day he died.
35:38The last thing
35:39he said
35:40was that
35:41Catherine
35:42was my mother.
35:49So the time
35:50she spent
35:51away from the screen
35:52when the talkies
35:53came in
35:53she was
35:55trying to hide
35:56the scandal
35:56of her own affair
35:57with a black man
35:59to save her career.
36:02but it was over
36:02by then anyway.
36:06She moved back
36:07to England
36:07so
36:08I came to
36:09manage to
36:11get a job
36:11with Juan.
36:13Soon as the
36:14flicks commission
36:15came in
36:15I
36:15knew it was
36:16my chance.
36:18She was desperate
36:19to make a comeback.
36:20I
36:20I
36:22was just
36:22happy to be
36:23around her.
36:25She
36:27treated me
36:27like dirt.
36:30Perhaps you
36:31painfully
36:31reminded her
36:32of her
36:33long lost child
36:35little knowing
36:36that it was
36:37in fact
36:37you.
36:41Yesterday
36:42when
36:42Frank
36:43told me
36:44that she
36:44wanted me

36:45I
36:46knew I
36:46had to
36:47tell her

36:47was.

36:49fire me!
