00:00Thank you so much for watching.
01:15What the hell do you mean he might have a case?
01:16He ran away from home when he was 16.
01:18Nobody's heard of him since then.
01:19Jack, that is not the point.
01:21It damn well is the point.
01:25Look, when the old man kicked the bucket, they tried a contact shellet.
01:29Nothing, not a bloody thing.
01:31Everyone thought he was dead.
01:32So his share passed to my wife, and when she died, it passed to me.
01:36That's it, period.
01:37It's a load of cobblers.
01:40Look, sit down, Jack.
01:42There's absolutely nothing to be gained by getting hot under the collar.
01:49Now, I have, of course, requested proof of identity, but I have to assume that the
01:54claimant's solicitors would not have gone this far without themselves being satisfied.
01:58You mean he's for real?
02:00It would appear so.
02:03Ah, so what?
02:04The case will be dismissed.
02:06Stands to reason.
02:07It's more than 25 years ago, man.
02:09He had his chance then.
02:32Darling, there's a sort of person to see you.
02:34He said his name is Shelley.
02:38Oh, here?
02:39Yes.
02:41Oh, well, um, show him in.
02:43All right.
02:43Fast.
02:45Would you come this way?
02:46Please, my husband's in here.
02:49Ah, Mr. Shellett.
02:53Uh, Mr. Freer said I was to see you.
02:56Said you'd have some money for me.
02:58Polly, might there be some coffee for us?
03:01I imagine so.
03:05Well, I'm, uh, I'm delighted to meet you, Mr. Shellett.
03:09Um, do take a seat.
03:10I expect Charles Freer has told you that I am his associate.
03:13He just said you'd have some expenses for me.
03:16I'm, uh, a bit short at the moment.
03:19I came away, um, rather quickly.
03:23Indeed.
03:24Yeah.
03:24And we're most grateful.
03:27Um, £500 for out-of-pocket expenses as an immediate necessity.
03:33Your hotel bill will be taken care of separately.
03:36And, of course, all legal costs will be defrayed by us.
03:41What do I have to do?
03:42Oh, simply stay under wraps until the case comes before the course.
03:46I can't stay in that bloody room day after day.
03:48I'm, I'm used to an outdoor life.
03:50Touch us, son.
03:50Why can't I walk about a bit?
03:51Because it is essential that you're not seen and recognised after 30 years.
03:57Well, specifically, we don't want Jack Rolfe to know of your whereabouts.
04:01I'll stay out of that bastard's way for the time anyway.
04:05I'll settle his account later.
04:07You shouldn't really have come here, you know.
04:11Bloody hell, man.
04:12I'm getting claustrophobia already another couple of weeks,
04:15and I'll be up the bloody wall.
04:16Steady on, boy.
04:17Steady on.
04:18Well, it shouldn't be too long now.
04:20The Registrar of Probate has allowed your claim on the estate.
04:24You've got one of the finest barristers in the country on your side.
04:27We have every chance of making it stick.
04:30So we win.
04:33What's in it for Dick Shellett?
04:34Oh, well, it's quite simple.
04:35You will immediately sell the Mermaid Yard to Charles Freya
04:39for the princely sum of £250,000.
04:43And then disappear to wherever you wish.
04:46Your old age is taken care of, Mr. Shellett.
04:49You can go back to New Guinea if you so desire.
04:53Suppose, er...
04:55Suppose I don't want to sell.
04:58Mr. Shellett,
05:00you signed an agreement in Port Moresby.
05:03Surely you remember.
05:06Coffee, Mr. Shelley.
05:07Shellett.
05:08Er, what?
05:09My name, Dick Shellett.
05:11Ma'am.
05:12Oh.
05:13I'm so sorry.
05:16Gerald?
05:17Thank you, my dear.
05:21Oh, it's a nice place you've got here, Mrs. Urquhart.
05:28Gets lonely in that hotel room.
05:33Sugar?
05:35Could I have some sugar?
05:36Oh, certainly.
05:41Mind if I stay and chat a bit?
05:44Please do.
05:47I, er...
05:49I had a Kundar girl back in New Guinea.
05:54Didn't understand much.
05:57But I could talk to her.
06:00Know what I mean?
06:01Not exactly.
06:03Is that a sort of geisha?
06:04Hell no.
06:06I used to spade up country tribes.
06:09Nice girl.
06:12Used to...
06:13do...
06:14for me.
06:16How interesting.
06:18What did you talk about?
06:20You enjoy possession
06:22and have done so for more than a quarter of a century.
06:24Now, the fact that the claimant is applied for court hearing
06:27does not necessarily mean that he will obtain it.
06:30Supposing he does?
06:31Well, then we engage learning council and defending court.
06:34What do you mean here, the local ground court?
06:36No, it goes to probate court, family division
06:38in the Strand Law Courts.
06:40Oh, well, that's going to cost me a bomb, isn't it?
06:42We'll ask for costs to be awarded.
06:44Yeah, damn right we will.
06:46If I had my way, I'd ignore the whole bloody thing.
06:48But we can't do that, Jack,
06:50because they are taking the matter to litigation.
06:53And we are bound to make defence,
06:54or it will be assumed in law that we have no case.
07:00Ah.
07:12Oh, I've arranged for you to meet the franchise people on the 28th.
07:15Yeah, fine.
07:18Jan wants me to pick up my things.
07:21Tuesday.
07:22Why, then, especially.
07:24You should be away on business.
07:26Less awkward.
07:27I see.
07:30I'm just going over to the shed.
07:33Tom.
07:35I've been looking through the invoices,
07:37and there seems to be some discrepancies.
07:39I mean, you're not building a former, are you?
07:41You're building a proper wooden boat.
07:44Yes.
07:45It was meant to be a surprise.
07:47Oh?
07:48Look, no-one's going to pretend
07:50that Jack is interested in high-tech and new materials.
07:52He just does not want to know.
07:54You're telling me?
07:54But I'm not against traditional methods.
07:58Now, the cost differential
07:59between building a wooden frame former
08:01and actually completing an all-wooden boat is negligible.
08:03But what about the sale of the city?
08:04But the essential labour and material costs
08:05don't vary all that much.
08:07So,
08:09why shouldn't Jack get something out of it?
08:12You're a good man, Tom Howard.
08:13Oh, no, I'm not.
08:15I'm just looking after my own interests.
08:17Long term.
08:24Long term.
08:26Long term.
08:31Long term.
08:42Long term.
09:03I haven't heard anything from Charles.
09:05He hasn't got cold feet, has he?
09:07He does have rather a lot on his plate, you know.
09:09This marine development is just one of several.
09:11Oh, I know that.
09:12Isn't it about time he started finalising the contract?
09:15How and when?
09:16Oh, come on, Ken.
09:17We haven't really got past the if stage yet, have we?
09:21Cheers.
09:21Cheers.
09:23You know that boatyard on the other side of the river?
09:25The one with half a mile of frontage?
09:27Oh, yes.
09:28Yeah, I acquired the lease on that yesterday.
09:31Did you indeed?
09:32Hmm.
09:34Well, we don't want competition from directly opposite, do we?
09:37Aren't you stretching yourself, rather?
09:41Oh, I don't think so.
09:48Do I look all right?
09:50Give us a twirl.
09:53Perfect.
09:54Not too much?
09:55No, of course not.
09:56I particularly like the earrings.
09:58Where did you find them?
09:59Do you mind me borrowing them?
10:01Not at all.
10:02You look really lovely.
10:04Have you decided what you're taking to Karen yet?
10:06I thought I'd travel in the cream.
10:08I'm just not sure.
10:10Oh, God.
10:12Can't be all car already, can it?
10:18Ken!
10:19I just came to wish you a safe journey.
10:21Come on in.
10:25Wow!
10:26Who is a lucky fella?
10:28You're not that lucky.
10:29I'd better hurry.
10:30All right, darling.
10:31Drink?
10:32Yeah, I love one.
10:35Whiskey?
10:36Fine.
10:39All on your own, then?
10:41Yes.
10:42Good.
10:44How about a farewell dinner?
10:47Unless, of course, you've got other plans?
10:51Those are for Lynn.
10:53Oh, I see.
10:53I thought perhaps they were from your froggy dressmaker or photographer or whatever.
10:58Ice or water?
11:00Ice, please.
11:04Ken.
11:05Hmm?
11:06Would you mind very much if I said no to tonight?
11:10It's just that I've got an awful lot to do.
11:12Packing and everything for the trip.
11:14Oh, fine.
11:17Actually, going to Cannes couldn't have worked out better, really, could it?
11:20How do you mean?
11:22Well, after what's gone on.
11:24A few days away would do a power of good.
11:26Well, it is business, Ken.
11:27Yes, I know that, but...
11:30Car's here.
11:31Night.
11:31Night, have a good time.
11:33Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
11:41So...
11:43This is all yours now, isn't it?
11:45Hardly.
11:45This is a mortgage, remember?
11:47Well, I said I'd guarantee that if you needn't any help.
11:49Yes, that's very kind of you, Ken, but, uh, well, I think I'll manage.
11:55How did your meeting go with Gerald?
11:56He's stalling.
11:58Or rather, Freya is.
11:59Look, it's just keeping your arm's length.
12:02I know.
12:02You told me so.
12:04I only told you what Polly said.
12:06You think I'm outclassed, don't you, Jan?
12:09He's a big fish, Ken.
12:11I'm not afraid of Freya.
12:14You still don't think big enough, Jan?
12:18Don't you be so sure.
12:28Do you live here on your yacht, Charles?
12:30No, no, no, no.
12:32This just serves as a kind of mobile pied-Ã -terre.
12:36I have business, which will keep me here for quite a while.
12:38So I'm looking for somewhere suitable to buy.
12:41Cheers.
12:42Cheers.
12:47Now, then, tell me something about you and your family.
12:52Your father, I believe, is a partner in the mermaid boatyard.
12:56Yes.
12:57Oh, dear.
12:58Don't you get on?
13:00I used to think he was the most wonderful man in the world.
13:04Not anymore?
13:07I'm not so sure now.
13:09We were such a close family, and then everything changed.
13:13In what way?
13:14I don't really know.
13:16He and Mum have been together for over 20 years,
13:19and now suddenly he's gone.
13:22To another woman?
13:26Do you know who she is?
13:29Avril Rolfe.
13:31His new partner's daughter.
13:38Well, it happens.
13:41Have you ever been married, Charles?
13:44Once.
13:48Everything is ready, Mr. Freeland.
13:50Thank you, Samantha.
13:51Shall we?
14:06I hope you like caviar.
14:16This is grey beluga.
14:17I prefer it.
14:33Charles, you must have had your pick of sophisticated women.
14:38Why me?
14:40What have we got in common?
14:42Oh, very little, I would imagine.
14:45But then you're young, you're beautiful, and you have great charm.
14:50What else matters?
15:04I've only just got in myself.
15:06I know.
15:06I ran earlier.
15:07Thought I'd done a bunk.
15:09Thought a binge was more likely.
15:10Ah, ah.
15:11You seem so upset about that solicitor's letter.
15:14Oh, false alarm.
15:16Brandy?
15:16Thanks, I'd like one.
15:19What does your solicitor say?
15:22Not joining me?
15:23You're not going to catch me out, are you, Kate?
15:25No, thank you.
15:27Come on, Jack.
15:27What does he say?
15:29Oh, that it was a try-on.
15:31Nothing to worry about.
15:32Are you sure?
15:34Well, he's sure, and he's the lawyer.
15:35Otherwise, I would be drinking.
15:37Have you spoken to Tom about this?
15:40No, I haven't been down to the yard yet.
15:42I won't bother him with it yet.
15:44If it affects the yard, it affects him.
15:47Hmm.
15:48It doesn't affect anyone, Kate.
15:50Why are you so, uh, concerned about Tom?
15:54He's family.
15:56Even if he cheated on your girl with my girl?
15:59Now, Jack, don't play on my loyalties.
16:01You don't know me that well yet.
16:03Well, I wouldn't tell him about my brother-in-law, Kate.
16:06It might upset him.
16:08If there's nothing to worry about, why should it upset him?
16:11That doesn't mean to say he wouldn't worry, does it?
16:14No, no, let me in there with it.
16:17I'll, uh, tell him when the time's right.
16:27Mmm.
16:28That was the most delicious meal.
16:31I'm glad you approve.
16:32Oh, I do.
16:34For the first time in my life, I'm beginning to see the attraction of being stinking rich.
16:39How are you now?
16:41Definitely.
16:43Believe me, money by itself doesn't count for very much.
16:47Hmm.
16:48That's easy for you to say.
16:50No, no, no, I mean it.
16:51I've seen many people destroyed, made impotent by their own wealth.
16:56So what does count, then, for you?
16:59Power.
17:00And freedom.
17:02The power to act, the freedom to choose.
17:06Do you always get your own way?
17:09Usually.
17:14And how do I fit into your scheme of things, Mr. Freer?
17:18Oh, very easily.
17:20I want to make love to you.
17:26You're very direct, aren't you?
17:29Mm-hmm.
17:31That bother you?
17:32Mm-hmm.
17:33No.
17:35I was wondering when we'd come to that.
17:45Don't you think we have come to it?
18:35I'm sorry, sir. I've checked, and there's no Mr. Schellett staying here.
18:54I'm at Guesthouse.
18:56Yes?
18:57Have you got a Mr. Richard Schellett staying with you?
19:00Do you know what time it is?
19:02Yes.
19:03Then you shouldn't have bothered us.
19:07Charming.
19:15There are my jerseys.
19:18My mother's obviously decided to sleep elsewhere tonight, since neither of the cars are in the
19:23garage. My father's probably away on business.
19:26Must be what they call a working relationship.
19:28It worked out very well for me, did it?
19:30I suppose not.
19:37It's a bit like we're robbing the place.
19:39Don't be silly. It's my home.
19:42My aunt bought me some national saving certificates.
19:45Yes. Let's be in here somewhere.
19:49You've, um, decided then?
19:52What?
19:55Oh, no.
19:57No.
19:58I need this money because I've decided to have the baby.
20:03Well, I don't know what to say. Um, you're sure?
20:06Yes. Now I've finally decided I know it's right.
20:10Good.
20:11It feels, I don't know, fantastic. I'm going to have a baby.
20:17I'm so pleased.
20:19I'll need your help, Leo.
20:21Nice to be wanted.
20:26Shall we have a coffee?
20:27Yes, this is Mrs Howard again.
20:29I ordered a taxi for 8.30. It's now nearly to...
20:32Thank you very much.
20:34I'm sorry. I'll be ready in a minute.
20:36No, it's all right. I've ordered a cab. It's on its way.
20:37Well, it'll only take me two minutes to...
20:38I don't think I'd feel safe.
20:40What time did you get in last night?
20:43Late.
20:44Yes, well, I know that.
20:46I'm sorry about not driving you to the airport.
20:49Oh, that's all right.
20:51I'm glad you had a good time.
20:53Well, did you?
20:54Yes, great.
20:56Why doesn't Leo drive you?
20:57Because he didn't come home at all last night.
21:00Apparently he was staying with friends.
21:02Communication is not our forte at the moment.
21:07Well, are you going to wish me luck?
21:10Of course.
21:12Have a good trip.
21:15Can you sit down?
21:16Yes, thank you.
21:19Look after you, sir.
21:20I will.
21:21Hi.
21:29Mr Masters.
21:31Hello.
21:32Leo Howard, isn't it?
21:33Have you got a moment?
21:34I'm afraid your mother isn't here.
21:35She's, uh, she's where in France.
21:36Yeah, no, I want to see you.
21:38Why?
21:39Trouble at the garage?
21:40I've come to hand him my notice.
21:42Got yourself another job, more cash.
21:44It's not the money.
21:46Well, Morris has told me you've done very well.
21:49I'll tell you what I'll do.
21:51I'll give you another tenner a week.
21:52How about that?
21:53Money's got nothing to do with it.
21:54I've got other commitments now, and I just need the time.
21:57Well, I'm sure we can work something out.
22:00I know things have been a little bit tough for you.
22:04I mean, it must be awful having a family falling apart.
22:08I'd rather not discuss it.
22:09Well, you've got to face facts, Leo.
22:11It's best to have things out in the open.
22:14Is it?
22:16Listen, son.
22:18If there's anything you want, you've only got to ask.
22:23You do owe me three days' wages.
22:25Could you give them to my home when you see her?
22:28Buy her some more flowers?
22:52After lunch, I will take you up to the hills behind Grasse, where I have my studio.
22:55I want you to see many things, but most of all, the designs for the market, which we talked about
23:01in London.
23:02I can't wait.
23:03That market is completely untapped, Jan.
23:06I know it.
23:07But I hadn't realized that you designed things especially for us.
23:10But of course.
23:12We have the same ideas.
23:13We are both new and fresh.
23:15We could make a fortune, Jan.
23:18I promise you.
23:19When do we start?
23:20Tomorrow.
23:21I want you to look at the Riviera boutiques, and then we are invited to two cocktail parties.
23:27I know most of the people who are important to us, and I want you to meet them.
23:30Do you mean the opposition?
23:32Oh, mais no.
23:33I mean our future clientele.
23:36I see.
23:38Voilà .
23:42Claude, you do understand that I work for someone else.
23:46Supposing he didn't agree.
23:49We could do this alone, Jan.
23:52Why not?
23:53Claude, you say that you adore my designs, that they are what you want to market.
23:59Well, I believe in you, and I know that you are a good businesswoman.
24:04I cannot do that.
24:06When I am confronted by a balance sheet and figures, I am full of sleep, both like that.
24:13Yes, I have become completely stupid.
24:16I don't understand anything.
24:19But together, we can go places, with or without Ken Masters.
24:28What do you think?
24:30I don't know.
24:33I owe Ken an obligation.
24:35I can't just, I can't just walk away from it.
24:39Can we just play it by ear for a moment?
24:43Whatever you like.
24:45You knew she was going away.
24:46You could have at least been here to see her off, couldn't you?
24:48Look, Lynn, things happen when they do.
24:50You can't always control them.
24:51I'm sorry I miss Mum, but it doesn't matter all that much, does it?
24:54Oh, and whatever you were doing...
24:55Yes, it did!
25:01Lynn, what are we arguing for?
25:04I am sorry I've not been at home much.
25:07I'll probably be away most nights now.
25:10I'm trying to look after somebody.
25:15Girl?
25:18Anybody I know?
25:20Let's just leave it, OK?
25:24OK.
25:25I'm not sleeping with her.
25:27It's not like that.
25:29I believe you.
25:32But don't get too good for this world, Leo.
25:34People will only take advantage.
25:37I know.
25:38I may be a total nutcase, but I'm not stupid.
26:10I may be a total nutcase.
26:10was shouting. No, I'm meeting on my own tonight, so I thought I'd stay at the hotel. Yes, it's
26:16very good. They certainly earn their four stars here. Are things with you okay? Good.
26:24Yes, fine. Everything's going splendidly. All right. Yeah. Bye for now. Bye.
26:42Yes? Who are you? Madam Howard, room service.
26:56Ken. A votre service, madame. I thought it was a very clear line.
27:03Will you come in? Yes, of course. Thank you. Wow. What are you doing here? I don't mind it.
27:10Are you checking up on me? No, I promise not to interfere. Leave you completely alone without
27:14the boss looking over your shoulder. Yes, but what about the chandlery? What chandlery?
27:18No, I thought I'd take a break for a couple of days. While I was here, take you out to
27:22dinner. You did say you were alone. Yes, that would be lovely. Look, I'll go and put this
27:28in water while you've opened the bubbly. Oh, why don't I stick it in the fridge? We can
27:33drink it later. Hello, Gran. Don't look so disappointed, darling. Who are you expecting at this time
27:59of night? Where are all the others? Well, Mum's gone to France. Didn't she tell you?
28:07Oh, yes, of course. I'd forgotten. Is Leo about? No, he's out too. He won't be back tonight.
28:13I see. Or rather, I don't. But it's none of my business. I'm having a spot of difficulty
28:19with the car. The clutch is slipping again. I want Leo to look at it for me sometime.
28:26Well, can we go in and sit down? I'm sorry, Gran. Can I get you some cocoa or something to
28:33eat?
28:33Thank you, darling. I'd love some cocoa, but not just yet. Give it to me later, will you?
28:37I want you to come and sit down here. Come along. I want to talk to you. Here.
28:45Now, what is going on with the Howard family? Well, you know Dad's left. Yes. Well, that's
28:56it, isn't it? It's all gone to pot. End of marriage equals end of family. Q-E-D. Does your
29:03father know you feel like this? I couldn't say. He's got his own interests today, and we belong
29:10to yesterday. That's a dreadful thing to say. It doesn't make it any the less true, does it?
29:17How about your mother? She feels it, too. But at least she's got a new job to occupy her.
29:25Excuse me.
29:33Tarrant 87293? No. No mum is away for a few days. Yes. Yes, I'll tell her. Bye.
29:55I've changed my mind. Skip the cocoa. I'm having a brandy and soda.
30:01That is the one rule I've always stuck to. To tell you the truth, the whole truth, and
30:06nothing but the truth. Oh, yes. I believe you. Thousands wouldn't. Now, Ken, one glass of shampoo,
30:12and then you must go. I can't be too late tonight. Promise. There you go. Not only is it the
30:21safest
30:22way, the easiest. I mean, I don't need to make problems. Who does? Yes, but getting back
30:29to relationships, it's all very easy to make vows of honesty, constancy, and fidelity if
30:34you never intend to keep them. Where are the glasses? Oh, they're only a puppet. Oh, right.
30:39Oh, really? I mean, what's the point, Ken?
30:44Hope you noticed the label. James Bond touch.
30:50It isn't meant to signify anything. Well, no smoke signals, but there could be a message
30:57in there somewhere. Now, messages, as someone said, are for the Western Union. Doesn't that
31:02depend a little bit on the handwriting? Oh, I'll never get over watching you eat those
31:08snails. It was wonderful. Glug, glug. There you go. Thank you. Cheers, Jen. Cheers.
31:31Mmm. Lovely. You know you've either got to put a stop to all this, or come down on the
31:38side of the angels. What? I'm still married, Ken. Well, as my old man used to say, religion
31:52did love a great service by making it a sin. You're too much of a cynic. Oh, realist.
31:58Isn't that what everyone's after? A little bit of sin? No, you're just being flickened.
32:02Yes. And I don't intend to be. But sincerity tends to make me a little bit tongue-tied.
32:15You know I'm in love with you, don't you? And don't pretend you don't. I'm frightened, Ken.
32:32So am I, Jen. So am I.
33:05When were you collecting your things? Oh, sometime this evening, probably.
33:14You didn't like that phone call the other day, did you? No, I did not. Nobody likes home truths.
33:21She said I was smug and selfish. Me, smug. I admit to being selfish. I did want things my own
33:27way.
33:27Meals on the table, that sort of thing. Is that what you really wanted out of marriage?
33:32Well, when you join the rat race, you need that sort of support.
33:39Seemed important at the time. And now?
33:51What do you think of eating this evening?
33:55Caspers.
34:03Morning.
34:04Morning, Ken. It's not so good today.
34:09No. Still a lot of brown bodies laid out down there.
34:14Yeah, this is my sort of place.
34:17Bonjour, Monsieur.
34:19Morning.
34:20English breakfast, please.
34:22Tea.
34:25Have you got any English marmalade?
34:27Monsieur?
34:30Marmalade d'anglais.
34:33Yes, sir.
34:36What?
34:37You can have that at home. Come on, when in Rome.
34:41Well, not this lad. No, I like my bacon and eggs.
34:45Besides, I need it this morning.
34:51Sorry.
34:51Ah, voila. There you are.
34:54Good morning.
34:58This is Ken Masters, my boss.
35:00Ken, this is Claude Dupont.
35:02Monsieur Masters.
35:03Cheers.
35:04Perhaps you can join us.
35:05We are invited to cocktails and to meet everyone.
35:08Oh, no. No, no, no.
35:09This is Jan's scene, not mine.
35:11No, I'm just here on a couple of days holiday.
35:14Ah, here comes my breakfast.
35:16Well, I'll just nosh away while you two get organized.
35:23Well, I want to introduce you to everyone I know.
35:27First, there is Simone de Savignac, who is a real aristocrat, you know.
35:32She is not so rich, but from a very good, very old family.
35:36And I know that she will like you and want to introduce you to all her friends.
35:40What should I wear?
35:41Just as you are. It's perfect.
35:43Then we will go to the old town and the tender will pick us up and take us out to
35:47the yacht of Michel Leopardi in the bay.
35:50It is a very big, very white yacht.
35:53I think you can see it from your window.
35:54The fly is an Italian fly.
35:57Although I think he is Albanian or Armenian.
36:00I don't know. I'm not sure.
36:02But one thing I am sure of, he is as rich as Onassis.
36:14The Anglican has had always been a most famous man.
36:15I have ever seen since the summer of Spain.
36:16While not Mr. French is a reallyienced man.
36:18I have never heard of him at home.
36:18I have never heard of him at any time.
36:20But he is a mechanical man.
36:21In fact, he is a big man.
36:27I have never heard of him.
36:27And there is also a great guy…
36:45Daddy.
36:55I didn't know who it could be.
37:02Don't you have your key?
37:03No.
37:06Your mother suggested this would be a good time for me to come and collect some of my things.
37:10Yes.
37:11I mean, I suppose so.
37:13She's away.
37:14Oh, yes, I know.
37:16Probably why she said it.
37:19What about you, Lynn?
37:21Have you got anything you want to say?
37:24Me?
37:26No.
37:27Nothing.
37:33I don't believe that.
37:35You knew we were having serious problems.
37:38Not that serious.
37:41Evidently pretty serious.
37:45You gave up.
37:47Finished it, just like that.
37:48Do you really think it was all that sudden?
37:50Did your mother say that?
37:51Oh, it was pure coincidence, then, that you left her forever wrong.
37:54I didn't leave her for anyone.
37:56A whole lot of things came to the surface.
37:58Yes.
37:58Things like Avril Rolf.
37:59Oh, don't be snide, Lynn.
38:02Your mother fought me from the start on the mermaid yard, long before I knew Avril.
38:06And now you do know her.
38:08That's what they're saying in all the local newspapers.
38:10Look, I didn't just walk out.
38:12Oh, did you want to stay?
38:15Home comfort sender, mistress.
38:18You don't care that mother was humiliated.
38:23Lynn!
38:24No!
38:32I thought we were a family.
38:35I think it's what your mother wanted.
38:37Are you sure it isn't you who can't accept it?
38:50Jane!
38:52I'm here!
38:58Hello.
39:02Nibbles.
39:03Oh, what is it?
39:04Surprise.
39:05Oh, come on, show me.
39:07Give us a kiss and I'll tell you.
39:08Bribery, eh?
39:09Mm-hmm.
39:11Well?
39:14Strawberries.
39:16That's funny.
39:17The guy said they were called phrases.
39:22Strawberries.
39:23Scrummy.
39:23Bad, eh?
39:26Mmm.
39:28They didn't taste different.
39:29That's because they're French, isn't it?
39:32How was your day?
39:34Exhausting but fascinating.
39:35Do you know, it's a different world, Ken.
39:37I'm lapping it up, actually.
39:40I'm never going to get over this week.
39:41I must have put on pounds.
39:42It's all right.
39:43You can work it off when we get back.
39:45Or shall we never get back?
39:48Whatever.
39:48Ever.
39:49How shall we live?
39:51Well, I could sell dirty pescars.
39:54Place must be crawling with punters.
39:56What shall I do?
39:56Pose for them?
39:57Oh, yeah.
39:58And some.
39:59See still.
40:08I saved you from the stalk.
40:10I'm shameless, aren't I?
40:12No.
40:13There's one thing you could never be.
40:15There's nothing in you to be ashamed of.
40:18Do you know I love you so much it almost hurts?
40:29What happens when we get back?
40:33Well, I think the ball's in your course, isn't it?
40:42I know what I want.
40:49Your drinks, Commodore.
40:50Oh, thank you, Lynn.
40:51On my chitty, there's a good girl.
40:53Oh, a splendid show in the Fastenet.
40:55Credit to the club.
41:05This saves me a phone call.
41:09I thought you'd already saved one.
41:11Or did you just forget?
41:13I said I'd ring today.
41:15When I saw you the night before last, you said I'll ring you tomorrow.
41:20It was dawn when I said that.
41:23Dawn yesterday.
41:27I'm sorry.
41:29Don't be.
41:30I flattered you were so impatient.
41:33Might you be interested in a quiet dinner for two this evening?
41:39I'm working.
41:40Ah.
41:43But I'm prepared to swap with someone.
41:46Good.
41:48Since you are working, could you ferret me out a bottle of the Chablis and three glasses?
41:53Immediately, sir.
41:58Charles, allow me to introduce you to the Lord Lieutenant of the county.
42:02Charles Frere, Viscount Cunningham.
42:04How do you do, Mr. Frere?
42:05Lord Cunningham.
42:14Cook's purse paid off at seven to one.
42:17How much do you have on her?
42:18Only fifteen, I'm afraid.
42:20Well, that's, uh, a hundred and five pounds.
42:23Well, that's not bad for a day's flutter.
42:25Not bad at all?
42:26No.
42:30Evening, Lydia.
42:32Hello, Stephen.
42:33Mrs. Harvey.
42:34Hello.
42:34Glad I bumped into you.
42:36Horse, all right?
42:37Looks in fine fettle, Mr. Bittons.
42:39Tell me, what are his chances for the Kingston?
42:42Oh, uh, a little small field.
42:44That's why I suggested sighting him now.
42:47Aztec boy is good flesh.
42:49It's promising.
42:50Indian chance.
42:51If I were you, I'd spread the bet.
42:53Oh, dear.
42:54I've already placed mine.
42:55Ah.
42:56I shouldn't worry about it too much.
42:57He'll pick it up along the way.
42:59Now, I've been going through the books.
43:00After the initial deposit, it pans out at 82 each.
43:04There are four legs, aren't there?
43:05But what do you charge us for room and board, Stephen?
43:09Excuse me.
43:11You won't get much change out of two grand this year.
43:20You know, you've got a look of sheer panic on your face, Kate.
43:25Is it going to be too much for you?
43:28You know, we have given our word to him that we can't back out now.
43:32It's okay.
43:33I can manage.
43:35Little Arthur left me.
43:37It covers my living expenses, more or less.
43:39But I have been putting all my winnings into a separate account.
43:44I've got £4,876.
43:48Should just about cover my leg.
43:50Can't pass up a chance like this, can I?
43:52Mrs Harvey, could you pop in and see a Mr Rolf on your way home?
43:57Says it's urgent.
44:00Darling, do put all that away.
44:02There's something we have to talk about.
44:04Oh, must be.
44:04I do have some things I want to catch up with.
44:07Sorry to spoil your evening, Gerald.
44:09But this concerns us both.
44:11It's about Abby.
44:13Don't tell me she's actually deigned to write.
44:15No, but a letter arrived for her the other day.
44:17Forwarded from the school in Switzerland.
44:20I opened it.
44:21Half of the course.
44:23Thought it might give us a clue to what was going on.
44:25Told me a lot more than that.
44:27Now, listen.
44:28Yes, I'm listening.
44:29It was from some American boy.
44:32A student, I think.
44:33It would appear they met in Geneva and had a little ding-dong.
44:37Can you imagine?
44:38Abby.
44:39Mine positively boggles.
44:41Do get on with it, darling.
44:43His name is Orrin.
44:44Orrin Eubank-Hudson.
44:45Good God.
44:46He's going back to the States next month and he sent her his home address.
44:50Well, I thought I'd give Sylvia Shardlow a ring to see if she knew the family.
44:54They live in the same county or whatever it is.
44:57Darling, they are loaded.
45:00Now, God alone knows what this boy sees in Abby, but it all sounds very lovey-dovey.
45:06Well, what are we supposed to do about it?
45:09We'll get them back together again, of course.
45:10What else?
45:12She'll never get another chance like this.
45:15Has she been in touch with this Eubank?
45:18It would appear not.
45:19He's complaining he hasn't heard.
45:21Well, darling, doesn't it strike you that maybe she doesn't want to?
45:24What's that got to do with it?
45:25Well, quite a lot, I should think.
45:28Polly, she may be your daughter, but I sometimes think I care about her more than you do.
45:36Do we know where she is yet?
45:37No, but we soon will.
45:39I've engaged a private detective to find her.
45:42Oh, God, I mean, those are absolutely necessary.
45:44Darling, Jilly Everett does it all the time.
45:46How else would she get her pocket money out of Robert?
45:48Pocket money?
45:49I'd hardly call her £40,000 diamond necklace pocket money.
45:52No, Gerald, you wouldn't.
45:54But that's because you're so damned tight-fisted.
45:56And that's your allowance cut.
45:58I hope this isn't another of your false alarms, Jack, because I was going to...
46:02Oh.
46:03This is Peter Weller, my solicitor, Mrs Kate Harvey.
46:06Mrs Harvey, how do you do?
46:08This looks ominous.
46:09It's his legal claim I told you about.
46:11Sit down, Kate.
46:13Peter, I've heard all this before.
46:16Tell Mrs Harvey all about it.
46:17I've just got to go and pop upstairs.
46:19Certainly, Jack.
46:23Well, uh...
46:25First, Mrs Harvey, the, uh...
46:28The opposition have engaged Martin Aylott as counsel.
46:32Now, he is one of the best QCs in the land,
46:35and he will doubtless exploit the technicality on which this case rests.
46:38Can't we do something similar?
46:40I mean, there must be other excellent barristers.
46:42Indeed.
46:43I am merely stating how they're lining up,
46:45and that argues to me that they expect to win.
46:50In the event of this shell-it person winning,
46:52what exactly are they claiming?
46:54They can't take the whole of the yard.
46:56The wife's share must go to Jack, surely.
46:58No.
46:58There's a popular misunderstanding here, you see.
47:01Jack's father-in-law left his estate jointly to his two children,
47:04namely to Jack's wife and her brother.
47:08In effect, this means that whoever survived had the two would take the lot.
47:12Now, if it can be shown that inadequate searches were made for the missing co-heir...
47:16The brother?
47:17That's right, and that's what they're out to prove,
47:19then Jack's late wife's share goes to the surviving brother, and not to Jack.
47:23But that's most unfair after all this time.
47:26The will also contained a provision stating that the yard property should not be divided or dispersed.
47:32So what does all this mean in the end?
47:34It means a pastor gets my yard, all of it.
47:37It means more than that, I'm afraid, Jack.
47:40What?
47:41He will also get the house unencumbered,
47:43and that's another debt that you'll have to satisfy.
47:45He can't take my house, that was my wife's.
47:48He will also be entitled to an assessed part of past and current income and profit
47:53from the boatyard from the day of his inheritance.
47:57And furthermore, Jack, whatever assets the yard may currently hold will also fall to him.
48:01But that's daylight robbery.
48:05Just a minute.
48:06Would my son-in-law be compensated for his investment in the yard?
48:09No, no, he'd have to take that up himself
48:11and sue Mr. Rolfe for selling him a share in something that was not rightfully his.
48:16He would have to seek his own address.
48:18My God!
48:20What about the new boat?
48:21Well, yes, that would also be considered part of the yard assets.
48:26I'd be bankrupt.
48:28You wouldn't be the only one.
48:30It would also finish Tom.
48:32Well, yes, that would be until I thought it was rightfully his.
