06:46A

07:08A

07:08any proposals? Not at the moment, no. I was hoping you'd mark the loan forward. Yes, well,

07:15if you recall, we've already marked it forward on the assumption that the contract would come

07:19through. I know that. But you see, Laurie, now I've got this new partner, the outlook is really

07:27very promising. Somehow with you, the outlook is always promising, yet nothing ever seems to

07:33materialise. That doesn't mean to say nothing. Well, it's just a matter of time, Laurie. Jack,

07:41there is no more time. What do you mean by that? The collapse of this repair contract has precipitated

07:51such a serious cash flow problem that we simply cannot extend ourselves any further. In the

07:56circumstances, therefore, and regretfully, I have no other alternative than to recommend to my head

08:01office that the bank call in the balance of the loan or foreclose.

08:47I have no other alternative than to that. I hope it was very specific. I have no other

08:48information for the loans that have been built in the trust area. I have no other people

08:48paying attention for me as the bank call in the trust. I have no other people to claim to

08:48go to the bank. That's why I have no other people. I apologize. You see the bank call in the

08:49place that it cannot end up the loan or foreclose. It's not only enough money for the loan or

08:51job should do it. I can have no other people to claim that I have no other people in the

08:52place where you have to DES会. So at that point, they have no other people to

08:53know what it is. I don't know whether it will be. So at that point, we have no other people,

08:56or at which time they must have been DO. And then I can turn it up the business

09:09now then let me see how about something like this mrs howard there have you ever seen such a garment

09:17it's a one-off first class no i'm sorry i was looking for something with a little more style

09:21ah well if you're looking for style i've got a wonderful line of genuine leone rejects coming

09:28in from italy next week all beautiful first class works of art rejects were not exactly what i had

09:33in mind either mr rosen i'm looking for something a little more upmarket exclusive ah well now in

09:41that case i think i've got just the garment follow me here we are top of my range look

09:55now that's more like it you can believe me mrs howard i've been in this business for 35 years

10:01i've yet to handle such an exclusive design for the woman of today who has everything

15:25then we proceed as planned

15:35if we can't go through the front door

17:45what are you trying to do one

17:47drown them

17:48no i'm trying to grow them

17:49where did you spring from

17:51you were supposed to ring me earlier

17:53not suddenly appear out of nowhere

17:54i forgot

17:55after my meeting with the bank

17:57i was tied up all day

17:58in the pub by the look of it

18:00kat

18:01i did have a few

18:04to celebrate

18:07no

18:09the bank has pulled the plug

18:13meadows has screwed me good and proper this time

18:18what are we gonna do

18:19kat

18:22tell tom about the situation at the bank for a start

18:25if you don't i will

18:26you owe it to him

18:28then you'll both have to face it fairly and squarely

18:31and somehow come up with a solution

18:34there's no chance of finding a solution to this mess

18:36no chance unless you look

18:39what else can you do

18:40can't spend the rest of your life in a pub

18:43come on man

18:44what are you made of

18:45where are your guts

18:46you struck me as being a survivor

18:48i am a survivor

18:50right then show it

18:52don't just try and creep round the subject

18:54stand up to it

18:55smash through it

18:57sock it to them

19:02by god i thought i was a rough old diamond kit

19:06but i'd hate to cross you

19:10so i thought i would check out some of the other fashion houses in london

19:15rosens really didn't have much of a selection

19:17still it was a start

19:20and ken was pleased with the discount i was able to get

19:23good for ken

19:25do i detect a note of jealousy

19:27no just a little impatience

19:30all i've heard is ken said this ken said that

19:32you've talked to nothing else but ken and the boutique all evening

19:35well let's make a welcome change from me droning on about the price of milk all day

19:39no not really

19:40oh come on it must

19:42when i got back from rosens even ken said that supermarket shopping is very different from

19:49sorry

19:50oh there's no need to be sorry

19:52i'm glad everything's working out so well for you

19:54it's just that there are other things to talk of than your business

19:57you know

19:58like what

19:59your business

20:01why not it does affect us both

20:08i had rather a special day too today

20:13my design can go ahead

20:17very good

20:20well i was hoping after all the difficulties we've gone through over the past few weeks

20:24the results of the test might move some of the doubts you've had about me going into the yard

20:33perhaps bring us closer together

20:35i didn't realize we drifted so very far apart

20:42rather than i

21:07You try your luck on the horses, then, do you, Kit?

21:09I back a few now and then.

21:11Looks to me like it's more now than then.

21:13You make me sound like a candidate for Gamblers Anonymous.

21:16Perhaps I should keep an eye on you, then.

21:18You're not gonna bank all these today, are you?

21:20No, I was just studying the form.

21:23Well, if you've got a hot tip, tell me.

21:26I might just have a flutter and surprise my bank manager.

21:30I'm afraid a flutter won't help this situation, Jack.

21:33Only you can do that.

21:36Shall I make some tea?

21:38No, no, thank you.

21:41Although I wouldn't mind something a little stronger.

21:43I'll bet you wouldn't.

21:44Wouldn't do you any good.

21:46I've told you before, you can't keep running away from your problems.

21:49Well, they said I was running.

21:51I went to the bank, didn't I?

21:53Then where'd you go?

21:54Straight to the nearest pub?

21:56Did it help matters?

21:57Of course not.

21:58You came out with exactly the same number of problems as you'd had when you walked in.

22:03Yeah, I suppose you're right.

22:05I am right.

22:07The sooner you face Tom and Avril and own up about the situation at the bank, the better

22:11it'll be for all of you.

22:15You already have a problem.

22:41How's the question?

22:42What is it?

22:42What about this one?

22:42What do you think of the way, the better you think of the best place to it?

22:42Well, I've read.

23:09Good morning, you're in bright and early.

23:13What's the matter?

23:16I think you'd better have a look at this letter.

23:31Did you know anything about this?

23:32No. The letter's just arrived. I had no idea.

23:39Morning. If you've got a minute, you two, I'd like a word with you both.

23:45If it's about the bank, we already know. They've written to confirm their foreclosing.

23:50Why didn't you say anything, Jack?

23:51I was just about to.

23:52Oh, yes, a little late. She should have told us the situation with the repair contract.

23:55No, I only found out yesterday. I told you. Now, don't start on me.

23:58You don't start pretending to be sick like that.

24:00Now, I've got enough on my plate.

24:01Hold on, hold on. It won't hurt matters with you two at each other's throats.

24:06Now, Jack, you'd better tell me what's happened.

24:11Navril, get on to the bank as soon as it opens and get me an appointment with Meadows.

24:18Oh, my gosh.

24:20Her name's Joe Penhalligan. You'd probably recognise her if you saw her.

24:24She comes into the hot club at least twice a week.

24:26Even so, it was a bit pushy, wasn't it? Just phoning her?

24:28No, it wasn't pushy at all.

24:31Have either of you seen my car keys?

24:32Yeah, they're over here.

24:34Oh, thanks.

24:36In fact, I think she appreciated me getting in touch.

24:40Who's that, darling?

24:41Joe Penhalligan, skipper I met last night.

24:43Lynn might have the opportunity of crewing the Fastnet.

24:45I might, as long as I do well to...

24:48Oh, no.

24:48You're not serious about doing the Fastnet, are you?

24:51Yes.

24:52So please don't spoil it.

24:54Lynn, darling, it's not a question of spoiling anything.

24:58I'm concerned about your safety.

25:00Malfour!

25:00Especially after the tragedy that happened a few years back.

25:03I am quite capable of looking after myself.

25:05Yes, I know you are.

25:07Well, then let's not make it an issue.

25:09An issue?

25:11Fifteen people lost their lives.

25:13That was only because the weather changed.

25:14I don't care the reason why it happened, Lynn.

25:16It happened.

25:17And if it happened, then it can happen again.

25:19Now, I haven't got time to argue about it now.

25:21I'm not arguing.

25:22If I get an offer, I'm going.

25:24Lynn, don't be unreasonable.

25:26I'm not the one who's being unreasonable.

25:36Ah, Mr. Howard.

25:40I'm glad to meet you.

25:41It's very good of you to see me at such short notice.

25:43In the circumstances, it's the least I could do.

25:45Please sit down.

25:47It's never easy having to foreclose on a business the bank has supported for so long.

25:52No, I'm sure it isn't.

25:54I hadn't realized that Mr. Rolfe's new partner was so actively involved in the yard.

25:59Oh, I'm very much involved, Mr. Meadows, I assure you.

26:01And if I may, I'd like to present an alternative course of action, the bank's consideration.

26:07Please do.

26:08This is a copy of our short-term and long-term plans.

26:14I understand Mr. Rolfe also neglected to highlight the cash flow projection of our ultralight displacement boat when he came

26:22in to see you yesterday.

26:23He did mention something about it, but nothing specific.

26:26Well, the model has been successfully tank-tested, and we anticipate those figures quite easily attainable from a royalty we

26:33receive on each boat produced.

26:34The market is largely untapped.

26:38Virtually every major yard would want to go into quantitative production.

26:42The potential is enormous.

26:48What exactly are you proposing, Mr. Howard?

26:51That the bank maintain our current overdraft and mark the loan forward until we build the prototype.

27:01Impressive, though these figures undoubtedly are, I really...

27:04Just three months, Mr. Meadows. That's all we need.

27:09With the collapse of this repair contract, I'm afraid the only way that I could recommend to my head office

27:15that they accept your proposals is if you could supply some collateral, or ideally an inject of proportional finance.

27:22How much would you need?

27:25Not less than 20%.

27:29I think I can meet the bank's requirement, or at least provide the collateral within 24 hours.

27:39Stand line off.

27:40Stand line off.

27:42Stand line free.

27:47Stand off there.

27:48Stand line free.

27:49Stand line free.

28:03Stand line free.

28:05Stand line free.

28:08Stand line free.

28:09Stand line free.

28:11Stand line free.

28:12Stand line free.

28:15Stand line free.

28:38You really are something, Tom.

28:41You've put all our savings, everything we had into that yard.

28:45You don't seriously expect me to agree to putting in the house as well.

28:48I'm not asking you to, as such.

28:50All we have to do is sign the house over so the bank has some kind of security.

28:55And what about your family's security? Have you thought about that?

28:58Oh, yes, I have, as a matter of fact.

28:59Otherwise, I wouldn't be here asking you to go along with me.

29:03Look, Jan, I'm not only trying to build a business, but a future for all of us.

29:09I know it's not been the easiest time for any of us lately,

29:12but we can get through this if you give me your support.

29:16So we end up losing the house as well as everything else we appear to be losing.

29:19We're not going to lose anything, believe me.

29:21I know what's at stake.

29:23I wouldn't ask you if I didn't think I'd make it work.

29:27Tom, what brings you round?

29:30Checking up on us now, are you?

29:33Well, believe me, you can trust your lovely wife.

29:36I'm the one you want to worry about.

29:37I've got to go now.

29:39Can we discuss this tonight?

29:40Yes, of course.

29:41I'll see you later.

29:42Well, there's nothing to rush off.

29:44Why don't you join us for a bite of lunch?

29:46No, thanks.

29:50Well, what the hell's the matter with him?

29:55Ready above.

29:59Leo!

30:01Leo!

30:23See you!

30:25Oh, my God.

30:55For what it's worth, I think you're doing the right thing if you decide not to go along with him.

31:01Do you really?

31:02Yeah.

31:04I mean, can you imagine what he would say if you turned up unexpectedly at the yard,

31:08and right out of the blue, asked him to sign over the house as second charge to support the boutique?

31:13He'd refuse to.

31:16You can bet on it.

31:18Yes, but there's no comparison.

31:20Of course there is.

31:22I'm telling you, love, you don't need all this.

31:25Not after so many years of marriage.

31:27Tom should be financially secure enough to give a woman like you all you want, need, and deserve.

31:33I would.

31:39Oh, I don't know.

31:41I don't know what to do.

31:43If I didn't go along with him, I feel I'm...

31:47Well, I feel I'm just letting him down.

31:48Why, you went along with him before, allowing him to have his way about going into the yard.

31:54And what did that prove?

31:55He was wrong, and you were right by the looks of it.

31:58If you go along with him again, you'll only be letting yourself down.

32:04Is the house in joint names?

32:06Yes.

32:07Then why don't you buy his share out and put an end to it once and for all?

32:12Where would I find that kind of money?

32:14Oh, from me.

32:16That's a loan.

32:18That advance against the business.

32:20You've got to secure your future, love, because it seems as sure as hell, he isn't.

32:23So, now I've discovered the secret of how you've built up your business, Ken.

32:27Wining and dining beautiful women.

32:29Yes, you should try it sometime.

32:31I'd love to.

32:33Well, aren't you going to introduce us, or must I do it myself?

32:37Jan Howard, Charles Frey.

32:39How do you do?

32:40Hello.

32:41Unfortunately, I can't stay.

32:42What a pity.

32:43I'm just going to a meeting myself.

32:45It's been a pleasure.

32:47See you on the yacht at four.

32:49Yes, right.

32:50The yacht?

32:53Who is he?

32:54I saw him last night at the art gallery.

32:56Oh, he's just a business, Assertia.

32:57We're discussing a possible deal.

32:59Another one of your interests?

33:01Yes.

33:01Right now, let's forget about him and talk about my number one interest.

33:06You.

33:07Are you going to accept my offer of the loan?

33:25I'm going to accept my offer of the loan.

33:27Oh, my God.

33:29Yes.

33:33No, no.

33:41Yes, no.

33:42Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

33:44Yes, yes.

33:44I'm not waiting.

33:46No.

33:48No.

33:49No.

33:59Then he studied the cash flow projections of the displacement boat,

34:03and he actually seemed quite pleased.

34:05So where do we stand now?

34:07Well, first of all, we've got to provide an exact breakdown

34:09of the cost of building the prototype.

34:11I mean, then there's a question...

34:12Oh, no, just a minute, you two.

34:13Knocking off a few drawings is one thing.

34:17Building's another.

34:18What's the alternative?

34:20The boat's the only thing that convinced Meadows.

34:23What we've got to do this afternoon is officially agree on the production.

34:26We haven't got to do anything.

34:27I'm not letting Meadows hold a gun to my head.

34:30If push comes to shove, we'll take the overdraft somewhere else.

34:33Nowhere else would want to take it, Dad.

34:35What makes you so sure?

34:37I've just been under a merchant bank who seemed quite interested.

34:40And as soon as they examine our accounts, they won't want to know.

34:43Now, look, Tom, I've told you time and time again

34:47I am not turning my yard into a plastic toy factory.

34:51And I am not suggesting that we do.

34:52We can still keep the traditional side going.

34:54Damn right we're keeping it going.

34:56And who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do with my yard?

35:00Oh, just a minute.

35:02I'm getting tired of hearing about your yard.

35:06As a director, I have every right to express my opinion on the way in which we should proceed

35:11and if it comes down to it, every right to put it to a vote.

35:14Okay, let's put it to a vote.

35:1775-25, motion carried.

35:20You lose.

35:21Satisfied?

35:25Just hold on a minute, Dad.

35:27The motion isn't carried.

35:28I happen to agree with Tom.

35:29It makes no difference whether you agree with him or not.

35:32Vote with him and it's a 50-50 deadlock.

35:35That means as managing director, I have the casting vote and I've cast it.

35:39Motion carried against.

35:40We are not building the prototype.

35:43But you don't have the casting vote in this instance, Dad.

35:46I do.

35:48What?

35:49If you recall, I took your last partner's 5% holding when you want it out.

35:53That gives me a 30% share, not 25.

35:55So that makes it 55 to 45.

35:58Motion carried in favour.

36:00We are building the prototype.

36:13I checked the address David gave me and I spoke to a woman who wasn't very helpful.

36:18But then I met this young girl who remembered you.

36:20She said you worked here, so I followed it up.

36:23It's my last hope.

36:25I was beginning to think I'd ever find you.

36:28Why did you want to find me?

36:29I was worried.

36:31And?

36:35And I wanted to see if you're all right, I suppose.

36:38Is that why you left home?

36:40So you'd try and find you?

36:42No.

36:43I was trying to be alone.

36:48What?

36:50Nothing.

36:50Tell me.

36:52There's nothing to tell.

36:53It's just you.

36:53You're always so serious.

36:55Throwing up defences and barriers.

36:58You're unlike anyone else I've ever met in my life.

37:00Somehow that doesn't sound much like a compliment to me.

37:02See?

37:14You enjoy working here, don't you?

37:16Yes, I do.

37:17Children don't play the same games as adults.

37:20They're unlike anyone I've ever met in my life.

37:23You get on well with kids.

37:25Until they grow up.

37:26Ah!

37:28What makes you think they ever grow up?

37:30Come on, kiddo.

37:46Ah, Ken.

37:48What'll you have to drink?

37:49Ah, scotch straight noise.

37:52That's good to see you.

37:53Hope you didn't mind my interrupting you at lunchtime.

37:55Not at all.

37:56Business or personal?

37:58Business.

37:58Yes.

37:59Jan Howard's involved in one of my operations.

38:01Oh.

38:02She's a very attractive woman.

38:03She's also married with two kids.

38:10So, have you given any more thought to the proposed development?

38:12A little, yes.

38:14Interested?

38:16Well, I'm always interested in a good business proposition.

38:19But that doesn't mean to say I'm always interested in the terms.

38:23Oh, I think you'll find our terms quite satisfactory when you examine the proposals.

38:28And if I don't?

38:30Then you don't.

38:31We are, however, always open to negotiation.

38:34I won't allow this development to slip away by being inflexible.

38:39No one has a monopoly on protecting business interests, Ken.

38:42Not even you.

38:46I know.

38:58I know.

42:34you're here how's everything at the yard all right doesn't that just go to show one should never

42:44believe everything one hears what do you mean I've retained First National Merchant Bank to handle

42:52one of my developments I understand your father's been inquiring about finance what are you doing

42:58now paying banks off for information no I've just retained the bank to advise on potential sites

43:06I say I hadn't realized the mermaid yard could be one perhaps it's time your father sold out and took

43:12an early retirement the yard's dad's life he'll never sell out oh I don't know he might consider

43:17it if the price is right look Avril if you were your father in financial difficulties tell me I'm

43:23willing to help the only person you're willing to help is yourself I know you Charles only too well

43:29so stop playing games oh I'm not playing games I've come around here twice now and then attempt to patch

43:36things up with you and you won't even listen you might just regret that would you really want well that

43:47depends we'll be in touch

44:35I just can't believe it she took his side again perhaps she did if you're in good after all I've

44:42done

44:42for that girl Jack Avril cares you know she has your interest at heart oh really well she's got a

44:50funny way of showing it then she only sided with Tom about a business decision because she was sure

44:55that that decision would prevent the yard from going under what does she know quite a bit from

45:00what one hears the yard won't go under if only she and that son-in-law of yours would listen

45:05to me

45:06perhaps you should do the listening well why should I they've been in this business what five running

45:11minutes I've been in it 35 years believe you me Kate I know what I'm doing the yards been in

45:17trouble

45:17before we've always managed to pull through I've fought for that yard Kate lost sleep sweated blood

45:26for it and what's it all been in aid of nothing everything I've specialized in over the years is gone

45:35why surely your priorities are the same as Tom and Avril's you don't understand Kate

45:44listen to me now listen to me carefully I am not interested in assembly lines of mass production I

45:53am a craftsman the building of wooden boats has been my love and my life now everything is going to

46:03change

47:03got nothing to do

47:09personal and you had no right to bring money don't tell me what I had a right to do you

47:13had no right

47:14to put the money in the yard but you went ahead and did it and look at the problems that's

47:17caused
