00:00:08As Returning Officer for the Constituency of Westminster, I declare that the votes were
00:00:13cast as follows, Ferdinand Alf, 10,167 votes, Augustus John Melmott, 10,443, I hereby declare
00:00:28that Augustus John Melmott is elected Member of Parliament for the Constituency of Westminster.
00:01:27Ferdinand Alf
00:01:28The House will I'm sure agree with me that the entire English glove-making industry is
00:01:34in danger of extinction if these keep imports continue from countries whose citizens have
00:01:42never even heard of income tax and that it is our patriotic duty as Englishmen to demand
00:01:51a levy on these imports.
00:01:54In exceptional circumstances, Mr. Speaker.
00:01:56No, no, no, no, that's now, that's all wrong.
00:01:58Mr. Brown here is a city man and he ought to know that protectionism don't work.
00:02:04It never has and it never will.
00:02:06You cannot stop trade that way.
00:02:09You cannot stop trade that way.
00:02:24Order!
00:02:26Order!
00:02:27Order!
00:02:28Order!
00:02:29Order!
00:02:30The Honourable Member is not yet aware that he should not call another member by his name,
00:02:35but allude to the Honourable Member for White Chapel.
00:02:40Order!
00:02:41Order!
00:02:42Order!
00:02:42Order!
00:02:43And when a member is speaking, he should remove his hat.
00:02:47Order!
00:02:48Order!
00:02:50Proceed, Mr. Malmott.
00:02:51Proceed.
00:02:55Enough.
00:03:04Well, I've had my say.
00:03:08It's all wrong and he ought to know better.
00:03:13That's all.
00:03:16I call on the Honourable Member for Grimsby.
00:03:22This damn stupid place.
00:03:25I don't know why I went to the trouble to get myself elected.
00:03:28Order!
00:03:29Order!
00:03:35Ah, Mr. Montague.
00:03:36Always a pleasure to see you in the city.
00:03:38Rather busy today, as you can see.
00:03:40If you would just care to wait for him.
00:03:41No, I wouldn't want to go in now.
00:03:43Ah, you'll go in now.
00:03:44Very good.
00:03:46Mr. Montague.
00:03:47Back from Mexico.
00:03:52I gather the work went well then.
00:03:54It's a shame it had to be curtailed.
00:03:56It had to be curtailed because the funds you promised never materialized.
00:03:59That's only temporary.
00:04:01This sort of thing is quite usual in large undertakings.
00:04:03We've got many outgoings.
00:04:04Liquidity desirable for many eventualities.
00:04:07Don't worry, Mr. Montague.
00:04:10You'll get your railway by and by.
00:04:12No, I won't be put off like that again.
00:04:14I believe you have been milking the company to fund a whole number of other schemes you've floated.
00:04:19I also believe you've used the company's money to buy property for your own personal use and to fund your
00:04:25election expenses.
00:04:26Oh, you do.
00:04:28Do you?
00:04:29I'm going to have to make public everything I know.
00:04:31You don't want to do that, you know.
00:04:35You're a good sort of fellow, even though you've been a bit of a thorn on my side.
00:04:41But we have got a lot in common, you and me.
00:04:44We can see things the other fellow can't.
00:04:47And we both know it's not about money.
00:04:49It's about creating something great.
00:04:52Changing the world, eh?
00:04:53Doing something that we'll be remembered for.
00:04:57Look.
00:05:00Public confidence is the essence in these things.
00:05:03And once you've got that, you can do anything.
00:05:11Including robbing your own company.
00:05:19That's not worthy of you, Mr. Montague.
00:05:24I tell you what's in my heart.
00:05:27And you answer with cheap and petty accusations.
00:05:32Well, who can play at that game?
00:05:34Anymore along those lines and you'll find yourself in court, young man.
00:05:37And in jail, Sulatois!
00:05:38I've tried to help you.
00:05:40But if you want to ruin yourself, you go ahead.
00:05:43Harm the company.
00:05:45Forkastus Melmott is big enough to weather the storm.
00:05:51Crowell.
00:05:56Show the gentleman out.
00:05:57I can find my own way.
00:05:58Thank you for your trouble.
00:06:00Good afternoon, Mr. Crowell.
00:06:01Always a pleasure to see you in the city, sir.
00:06:09He'll do for us, Mr. Melmott.
00:06:14No, he won't.
00:06:17We've waited worse than this.
00:06:34Allow me to wish you every happiness.
00:06:36Roger, don't say what you don't mean.
00:06:38You think I would wish to see you unhappy?
00:06:41And what's done is done.
00:06:44I may not be going to marry Paul Montaguirotte or...
00:06:50I don't understand.
00:06:53That is why I asked you to come.
00:07:00Felix told me something about Paul.
00:07:03Something hateful.
00:07:06He says that Paul keeps a mistress.
00:07:10An American woman, a Mrs. Hertel.
00:07:13Is it true?
00:07:17Feeling as I do about you, how can I be fair to him?
00:07:20Easily.
00:07:21Just tell me the truth.
00:07:24Very well.
00:07:27Paul Montagu was involved with a Mrs. Hertel in America.
00:07:31I believe they were engaged to be married.
00:07:36He has told me that that engagement is over.
00:07:40It's true that she is in the country now.
00:07:45And that they have seen each other.
00:07:49More than that, I cannot say.
00:07:54Our friendship is over, but I won't slander him.
00:08:02I think you should ask him yourself.
00:08:06Well, Mr. Montagu, this is just about what I suspected all along.
00:08:12Though I never expected to be given the evidence by one of the directors of the company.
00:08:16You will swear to it.
00:08:18I mean, you won't go back on your word.
00:08:19No.
00:08:20I shan't.
00:08:22What are the consequences?
00:08:23Well, there will be consequences.
00:08:25Mr. Melmott, he'll try and muzzle us with the law.
00:08:29But we shall publish all the same.
00:08:31And he'll just about knock the city sideways.
00:08:34Mr. Melmott's pie shall fall right out of the sky.
00:08:39I imagine you'll have got rid of most of your shares before the price starts falling.
00:08:43No.
00:08:44It was never a consideration for me.
00:08:47All I wanted to do was build a railway.
00:08:50And that's still what I want to do.
00:08:52I'll get one of my best men on this right away.
00:08:54No railway in Mexico, eh?
00:08:57Where did the money go?
00:08:59Not bad.
00:09:00You set the cat among the pigeons, eh, Mr. Montague?
00:09:03No.
00:09:05No!
00:09:06No!
00:09:10No!
00:09:11No!
00:09:16No!
00:09:18No!
00:09:19I'm sorry.
00:09:19Before you say anything more, Mr. Montague,
00:09:22let me tell you that you are not welcome in this house
00:09:24and you are to have no future conversation with my daughter.
00:09:28You may regard your engagement at an end.
00:09:32Yet I... I don't understand. What's this all about?
00:09:34You know damn well, sir.
00:09:36It's about that mistress you keep in Islington.
00:09:39Oh, Felix, mother!
00:09:40I want to speak to Mr. Montague alone.
00:09:45Is she your mistress, as Felix says?
00:09:47No, she's not.
00:09:49Are you engaged to her?
00:09:51I was engaged to her more than two years ago.
00:09:53I swear to you that it was all over between us before I met you.
00:09:56Were you in love with her?
00:09:57I thought I was, but it's over now. I love you.
00:10:01Then what is she doing in England now? Why are you still seeing her?
00:10:04I truly thought I would never see her again. I thought it was over for her as it was for
00:10:07me.
00:10:07And so you took her to lowest off?
00:10:10Yes, I did, at her request. It was for her health.
00:10:17Have you seen her since then?
00:10:21Once, only.
00:10:22It is truly over, Heather. You must believe this.
00:10:24And you never said a word about her.
00:10:27All the time you were making love to me.
00:10:31Why should I believe you now?
00:10:32Because it's the truth.
00:10:34I thought I could end it with her without you ever needing to find out about it.
00:10:37I see now that was the wrong thing to do. But, Hedda, Hedda, you must acknowledge I have tried to
00:10:41do the honourable thing by both of you.
00:10:44You loved her once and you abandoned her.
00:10:48How do I know you won't abandon me?
00:10:50Now I think you'd better go back to your Mrs Hertel and tell her that you're ready to honour your
00:10:53engagement to her.
00:10:56Hedda, you don't mean that.
00:10:57Why shouldn't I mean it?
00:10:59Because you love me as I do.
00:11:00Don't touch me.
00:11:03You have no right to talk to me about love.
00:11:11I'd like you to leave now.
00:11:16You're really throwing me over.
00:11:20As you did with her.
00:11:25Goodbye.
00:11:27Mr Montagu.
00:11:34So, you've published the announcement for you and our Ruby, have you?
00:11:38Yes.
00:11:39That's it.
00:11:41Or rather it'll be in the paper next week.
00:11:44Well, when we've read it, in black and white, you can see our Ruby.
00:11:49Till then you don't.
00:11:50Who aren't he?
00:11:51When he's come all this way.
00:11:53If I were you, Miss Pipkin, I shouldn't take him at his word.
00:11:56I've found these English gentlemen to take their promises pretty lightly.
00:11:59I say, look here, don't take that tone with me.
00:12:02I know all about you, you know.
00:12:04You and that fellow Montagu.
00:12:06That's no business of yours, Sir Felix.
00:12:08Oh, isn't it?
00:12:09Well, I say it is.
00:12:10I have my sister's honour to protect, you know.
00:12:13Your sister's honour is perfectly safe, Sir Felix.
00:12:16There is no longer anything between me and Mr Montagu.
00:12:21Oh.
00:12:22Oh, Mrs Hertel.
00:12:27I think you should go now, Sir Felix.
00:12:32I'm sure you'll be very welcome when your engagement to Ruby is made public.
00:12:43Witness.
00:12:44The great Carlini always escapes.
00:13:11Good evening, ma'am.
00:13:12Sorry to bother you so late.
00:13:14I know who you are.
00:13:16Mr Crumb, the miller.
00:13:18And you've come to see our Ruby.
00:13:19That's right, Mrs Pipkin.
00:13:20I am and I have.
00:13:27There was a silly meaning about you, Felix.
00:13:29Saying I was a silly girl, believe you.
00:13:32But you will be publishing the announcement and marrying me, don't you?
00:13:34Yes, yes. By and by, of course, you know.
00:13:37Yes, but when?
00:13:38I want to know.
00:13:40I've got things to get ready.
00:13:41I haven't even bought my wedding clothes yet.
00:13:43Oh, look here, Ruby. I'm just about sick of this game.
00:13:46I'm very fond of you and all that.
00:13:48But you never really thought I'd be able to marry you, did you?
00:13:54But you promised.
00:13:56Look, I've got to marry a rich girl.
00:13:58What am I going to have to live on?
00:14:00We have a jolly time, don't we?
00:14:02And if Mrs Hurdle can have her fun, then so can we not.
00:14:04Somebody's so silly and come upstairs like a good girl.
00:14:06No, I will not.
00:14:08I'm going.
00:14:09And I'm finished with you.
00:14:10I thought you loved me, but you've just been playing around with me.
00:14:14I know a man better to you.
00:14:16Come on.
00:14:16No, let go. I'm going.
00:14:21Ruby!
00:14:25Ruby!
00:14:27Ruby!
00:14:31Ruby.
00:14:32Leave me alone.
00:14:33Will you stop being such a damn silly girl?
00:14:35Yes.
00:14:36I know now that's what you thought me all the time.
00:14:39Well, it's over now.
00:14:40And you shall see me ever again.
00:14:45All right, then.
00:14:47Jam you.
00:14:47I can't give you something to remember me by.
00:14:49I know.
00:14:50Get on me, Matthew.
00:14:51Well, I'll shut you from your mouth and open your legs.
00:14:53Help!
00:14:54Help, please!
00:14:55Help!
00:14:55Get on!
00:14:57No!
00:14:59Help!
00:15:00Please!
00:15:02Is it Ruby?
00:15:06I'm here, Ruby.
00:15:08I'm here, Ruby.
00:15:13No, you.
00:15:17All right.
00:15:18You blaggard.
00:15:21Come on, then!
00:15:25You'm the blaggard, mister.
00:15:42Come on!
00:15:43Get up, you wiper!
00:15:45No, thanks.
00:15:46Oh, that's sufficient.
00:15:46Oh, that's sufficient.
00:15:47No, you ain't.
00:15:51Oh, John, to kill him!
00:16:01Look after this young lady, officer.
00:16:05She's very precious to me.
00:16:07You can arrest me now, if you like.
00:16:11I done that.
00:16:14And I ain't sorry.
00:16:19How many were there this time, Felix?
00:16:23About six.
00:16:25Mother.
00:16:26Trapped me in a dark alley.
00:16:29Well, darling.
00:16:30You shouldn't go down dark alleys at night.
00:16:33No wonder you get attacked.
00:16:35It was all for Heta's sake.
00:16:37I saw her, Heta.
00:16:39Montague's mistress.
00:16:41She was very rude to me, as a matter of fact.
00:16:43Told me to mind my own business.
00:16:45I don't care what she said.
00:16:47She can have Paul Montague or not, as she chooses.
00:16:50I shall never see him again.
00:16:53Does that mean you marry your cousin, Roger, after all?
00:16:56No, mother.
00:16:59How very vexing that girl is.
00:17:02Mother.
00:17:04Mother.
00:17:12He's here.
00:17:15Show him in, Kroll.
00:17:20Ah, Mr. Alf.
00:17:23It's very good of you to come.
00:17:25Please, take a seat.
00:17:27Dare say you're surprised I sent for you?
00:17:29Not entirely.
00:17:30I imagine you're stepping down as member for Westminster
00:17:34and you've a statement to make for the press.
00:17:36No.
00:17:37Then you imagine wrong.
00:17:38I won that election fair and square
00:17:40and I'm not about to step down.
00:17:43For anyone.
00:17:48I want you to call your dogs off.
00:17:53Call my dogs off?
00:17:54All this nonsense.
00:17:56It's irresponsible.
00:17:58Have you seen the share price this morning?
00:18:00Good men are jumping out of windows because of you.
00:18:03Their widows and children are starving in the streets, thanks to you.
00:18:07My paper reports the facts.
00:18:09The fact is, you undertook to build a railway.
00:18:14And the fact is, you haven't.
00:18:17But the great fact is, I will.
00:18:19If you had come to me man to man, I would have explained it all to you.
00:18:23It's all a question of timing, you see.
00:18:26And between you and me, if you were to buy now,
00:18:29you'd see the share price go up again
00:18:30and those chaps that panicked will be smiling on the other side of their faces.
00:18:36I don't think so.
00:18:37And I think I should tell you, I've sent a man to Vienna too.
00:18:46Look here, Alf.
00:18:49You and I, we shouldn't be enemies.
00:18:51We've both come up the hard way.
00:18:53Always had to fight and struggle in this world.
00:18:55Not like these princes, baronets, dukes, what have you.
00:19:00We've come from nothing, but made something of ourselves.
00:19:05Now I respect you for that, and you should respect me.
00:19:08I don't care for privilege any more than you do.
00:19:11But I do care about honesty, justice, and truth.
00:19:15Yes, and so do I.
00:19:17But in this world, a man is obliged to cut a few corners now and then,
00:19:20just to get the job done for the good of others.
00:19:23I've never found it necessary, sir.
00:19:25Well then, you're either a liar or a fool.
00:19:29I hope I'm neither.
00:19:31I just use my newspaper to tell the truth as best I can.
00:19:36And I don't take kindly to being insulted.
00:19:39So I'll take my leave now.
00:19:41You think you're the great shining sword of truth, do you?
00:19:45It's easy for the likes of you, Alf, standing on the sidelines, watching,
00:19:48while better men than you change the world and move mountains.
00:19:51You might find the world a better place,
00:19:53if you try to do something for the good of it.
00:19:58That might be a fair criticism, Mr. Melmott,
00:20:01if you did change the world and move mountains.
00:20:05But from what I can see, the only thing you move is money.
00:20:10From the pockets of other men into your own.
00:20:15Good day, Mr. Melmott.
00:20:23Good afternoon, sir. Always a pleasure to see you in the city.
00:20:35They want their money for Pickering Park, or they want the title deeds back.
00:20:40And, um, Mr. Brigad, he's very sorry, but he has to ask to see security for the new loan.
00:20:46Already.
00:20:53Feeling a little tired, Crow, I think I shall go home early.
00:20:57I should use the back way, sir.
00:21:00I shall.
00:21:05Just a little tired, that's all.
00:21:08Just a little tired of keeping it all going for them all.
00:21:13A little gratitude wouldn't come amiss now and then.
00:21:17I'm grateful, Mr. Melmott.
00:21:22I know you are, Crow.
00:21:24I know you are.
00:21:27Are we going to be all right, Mr. Melmott?
00:21:31Certainly we are.
00:21:38Is it true? Is he really done for?
00:21:41Don't see how he can come back from it?
00:21:43No.
00:21:44It's all that fellow Alf and his evening bullpits.
00:21:48And that fellow Montague?
00:21:50How much are the shares down?
00:21:51Fifty percent?
00:21:52Forty-two percent of the issue value.
00:21:55Well, I hope it's not as bad as it sounds.
00:21:57He still owes us eighty thou on Pickering Park.
00:22:01We haven't seen a penny yet.
00:22:02Sold your shares yet, Criental?
00:22:04No, not I.
00:22:06Oh, it's all talk. I'm hanging on.
00:22:09So should you.
00:22:11There speaks a brave man.
00:22:26Dear Mrs. Hertel.
00:22:28Mr. Paul Montague has referred me to you and no doubt he has spoken of me.
00:22:36I shall be very grateful if you would allow me to call on you on any afternoon you choose.
00:22:49Where?
00:22:51Miss Carberry?
00:23:09Yes.
00:23:11I am glad that you came.
00:23:14I won't imagine so many things, but...
00:23:17You were very much as he described you.
00:23:21Do sit down, Miss Carberry.
00:23:28So why did you come?
00:23:30Was it simply to triumph over me?
00:23:32No.
00:23:34I want to know whether you still consider yourself engaged to Mr. Montague.
00:23:40What does he say?
00:23:43He says it is all over between you.
00:23:45Does he?
00:23:47Then he lies.
00:23:49He may wish it were all over between us, but it is not.
00:23:54Even though he no longer feels for you what he once did.
00:23:57What do you presume to know about his feelings for me?
00:24:02Only what he tells me.
00:24:04You have no business to pry into his feelings for me or mine for him.
00:24:09He loves me now.
00:24:13What good can come of an engagement where love has gone?
00:24:17And what makes you think that all love has gone?
00:24:20If Paul Montague had no feelings for me, do you suppose he would have visited me here again and again,
00:24:28here in my private lodgings?
00:24:29Do you suppose he would have taken me unaccompanied to a seaside place and stayed with me in the same
00:24:36hotel?
00:24:37Yes, he told me that he took you there.
00:24:40That's your request for the sake of your health.
00:24:45Oh, yes, I imagine he would have put it like that.
00:24:48You English have a gift for that kind of thing.
00:24:53Did he?
00:24:58Did he make love to you there?
00:25:04Do you think you have a right to ask me that?
00:25:07I don't know, but I do ask it.
00:25:15Well, what do you think generally happens, Ms. Carberry, between a man and a woman staying together as a couple
00:25:26in a seaside hotel?
00:25:29I hope you don't want me to go into details.
00:25:34No.
00:25:36Thank you, Mrs. Hertel.
00:25:42Thank you for seeing me.
00:25:46That is all I wanted to know.
00:25:55Goodbye.
00:26:10Mr. Braggart, do you have any news about the Mexican railway collapse?
00:26:15Will Marmot and Cope be hammered, sir?
00:26:17I don't think it's come to that yet, gentlemen.
00:26:19Every cloud has a silver lining.
00:26:21Well, tell him to settle his grocery bills in!
00:26:24Dammit!
00:26:27This is a solid company, Mr. Braggart.
00:26:32Found it on rock.
00:26:34It's...
00:26:35Solid as the Bank of England.
00:26:38We shall wipe the grins off their faces, Mr. Braggart.
00:26:41I'm very glad to hear that, Mr. Melmott.
00:26:44Even so, though, with the drop in the share prices, my partners will need to see some security now.
00:26:51Or we shall, very reluctantly, have to call in the debt.
00:26:56Mmm.
00:26:58You don't want to do that, Mr. Braggart.
00:27:06You might see nothing at all.
00:27:08Then things really are as bad as everyone fears.
00:27:17Come on, not a bit of it. Come on, I'm only joking.
00:27:21Melmott's got plenty of money, but it's stuck the way.
00:27:24Only you don't like to touch it, that's all. It's a little superstitious like that.
00:27:28But you have been a very good friend to Melmott, and you shall see it.
00:27:32You shall see that Melmott and company are as sound as a bell.
00:27:37Come on, sit down.
00:27:42It's Marie's money, do you see?
00:27:45I put it in the bank in her name, just in case, you know.
00:27:48And I've added to it every year, and it's a very substantial sum, and I've never cared to dip into
00:27:52it.
00:27:53That's all.
00:27:56If the money is there, Mr. Melmott, then there is no need to dip into it at this stage.
00:28:02But the bank must see that it is there, and that it is available to you.
00:28:09And that's only fair.
00:28:14And the railway will be built.
00:28:17I stake my life on it, Mr. Bregert.
00:28:24Stake my life on it.
00:28:27Between you and me?
00:28:29We are a little overstretched just now.
00:28:32Because we've got so many opportunities coming so close together.
00:28:37India, Canada, China.
00:28:41These are great enterprises, Mr. Bregert.
00:28:44They could turn this little island into the greatest trading country in the world.
00:28:53They should be grateful to me that I chose to become an Englishman, but they're not.
00:29:01They're like a pack of snapping dogs.
00:29:16We'll put the matter of security in hand immediately.
00:29:22Mr. Melmott, you have been very kind to me.
00:29:31You have been the means of making me acquainted with the lady that I hope soon to make my wife.
00:29:39Now, I think you are troubled.
00:29:42Tell me, is there any way in which I could help you?
00:29:56You could write it off as a bad debt and say nothing about it.
00:30:01Mr. Melmott, I think you know...
00:30:04Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
00:30:06I'm only joking.
00:30:10Don't worry about Melmott.
00:30:12You shall get your money.
00:30:17Now...
00:30:19Go and talk sweet nothings to that lovely fiancée of yours, eh?
00:30:23Go on. Go, go, go, go.
00:30:41I long to leave this house.
00:30:43Then let it be soon, my dearest.
00:30:46Have you had word from your family?
00:30:48Yes.
00:30:48Papa has been utterly beastly about the whole affair.
00:30:51I'm not sure I shall ever bring myself to speak to him again.
00:30:54Your father has written to me, and in very intemperate language.
00:30:58Well, I have been used to that in my lifetime.
00:31:01But the world is changing.
00:31:03And perhaps when we are married, he may change and soften too.
00:31:07But if he does not...
00:31:09Mr. Bregett, you must understand that I may be cutting myself off from my whole family
00:31:13and a good part of my friends in marrying a...
00:31:17in marrying out of my religion.
00:31:20And so it is vitally important that we are quite clear about what it is you are offering me.
00:31:24Of course. I would wish everything to be quite clear, too.
00:31:27As to religion, I am very happy that you should practice your own.
00:31:33And that should we be blessed with children, they might be brought up subject to your influence.
00:31:39Oh, I had not thought of that.
00:31:41As to the children of my first marriage...
00:31:43Oh, I don't think I can be expected to have anything to do with them.
00:31:46Nothing at all.
00:31:48They have a governess, but naturally I was hoping...
00:31:51Naturally?
00:31:52I don't see what's natural about it.
00:31:54They're not my children, are they?
00:31:55No, they are not.
00:31:56But they are mine, Georgiana.
00:31:58They are, as it were, a part of me.
00:32:00I would have thought that when you accept me, you accept all that I am and have.
00:32:04I don't see that at all, Mr. Bregett.
00:32:06You're not asking me to come and work at the bank with you, I presume?
00:32:09No, but that isn't quite the same thing.
00:32:11Please, do not bring up the question of your children again.
00:32:14I assume that they will be living at your house in Frulham.
00:32:16And as we shall have our new house in town, there will be no need for me to see them.
00:32:19As to that, I am sorry to say...
00:32:22We're not going back on the London house.
00:32:23Only for the present, only for the present.
00:32:25The fact is, I am anticipating a very heavy loss in the next week or so.
00:32:30I authorise my bank to make a large loan to a business that is likely to go under very soon.
00:32:35So you are to be bankrupt now?
00:32:37Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Far from it.
00:32:40But a second house.
00:32:42A London house in a fashionable location with all the furniture and servants that you would expect and deserve.
00:32:50That won't be possible for a year or two.
00:32:54I'm very sorry.
00:32:55Are you telling me that you want me to go and live in Fulham?
00:32:58I wish it were not so, Georgiana, but regressively...
00:33:01Let me make myself clear, Mr. Breggett.
00:33:04When we first talked about marriage, a London house was promised.
00:33:08Perhaps you did not understand then that a proper establishment is an absolute necessity for me.
00:33:12I must be in town for the season.
00:33:15I wonder that you should be so obtuse.
00:33:17It grieves me to disappoint you, Georgiana, but as I say, it will only be for a while.
00:33:22Still, you say this.
00:33:24Don't you understand?
00:33:25It is entirely unacceptable that I should go and live in Fulham with your due children for a week, for
00:33:31a day.
00:33:41You should not have proposed to me if you were not able or prepared to make the necessary financial outlay.
00:33:46No, I should not.
00:33:49I see that now.
00:33:52Thank you for enlightening me, Miss Longstaff.
00:33:55You may regard our engagement as at an end.
00:33:59What?
00:34:00May I say that I was never under the illusion that you had formed a passionate attachment for me.
00:34:08But I did deceive myself into thinking that your interest was, shall we say, not entirely mercenary.
00:34:16It seems we both made a mistake.
00:34:20I wish you every happiness.
00:34:24Goodbye, Miss Longstaff.
00:34:33Mr. Brackett?
00:34:45He's gone.
00:34:48It's all over.

00:44:46We've known each other a long time, Walter.
00:44:52Well, it's a small thing to put your name to a piece of paper to say, I can have my
00:44:56own money.
00:45:05Oh, go on then, go, go, back to the city.
00:45:07I think I shall be able to persuade her.
00:45:11Well, in any case, I'll come to you in half an hour.
00:45:14Jawohl.
00:45:15Auf Englisch, Kroll! Auf Englisch!

00:45:23English gentleman to the last.

00:45:43I'll be back.
00:45:44I'll be back.
00:45:44I'll be back.
00:45:48I'll be back.
00:45:55No.
00:45:58We haven't come to you yet.
00:46:10Give this to Mr. Bragett.
00:46:12Todd Bragett and Goldshiner.
00:46:13Make sure he gets it before close of business.
00:46:32There was nothing can be expected of him, but Heta, that she should be so stubborn for Mr. Brown.
00:46:40I see nothing but ruin for us all.
00:46:45Felix, where are you going?
00:46:47Just thought I'd take a little air, Ma.
00:46:55Mr. Brown, what am I to do?
00:46:59I must bear it as best I can, I suppose.
00:47:04At least I still have my pen.
00:47:06I shall begin a new book.
00:47:07What do you think of great mothers of history?
00:47:13Lady Carberry, I could no longer bear to stand by and see you suffer alone.
00:47:18Will you let me be the one to take your troubles from you?
00:47:22Oh, Mr. Brown, you are a kind and generous man, but I cannot allow you to shoulder such burdens.
00:47:28I assure you, they will be as light as feathers to me.
00:47:32I seem so to have fallen through in everything I do.
00:47:36I do not see what I can give you in return.
00:47:40Yourself?
00:47:43Oh, Mr. Brown, do you really mean that?
00:47:47If only you knew how long and devoutly I have admired your beauty, your courage, you would not need to
00:47:56ask.
00:47:58But I have no money.
00:48:01I am not proposing to you for your money.
00:48:05I have enough for both of us.
00:48:07And the children?
00:48:10Your daughter I can love as my own.
00:48:13And it is proof of my devotion to you if I say I can attempt the same for your son.
00:48:19Do you really think you can deal with Felix?
00:48:23I am sure of it.
00:48:26If you will let me.
00:48:31Oh, Mr. Brown.
00:48:32What?
00:48:34How good you are.
00:48:48How good you are.
00:48:50How good you are.
00:48:54Hello, Felix.
00:48:57Come to apologise, Grendel, about the cheating.
00:49:01Take it all back.
00:49:02What do you say?
00:49:04Let bygones be bygones.
00:49:09Come on, Grendel.
00:49:10Well, chap can't say fair than that.
00:49:14Shake hands, what?
00:49:30Going to play, Carberry?
00:49:31Don't mind if I do.
00:49:41Let's get ahead.
00:50:28Sir Felix Carberry?
00:50:29Hmm.
00:50:30Yes, where are we?
00:50:31You're off on a short trip, sir.
00:50:33What?
00:50:33To their continents.
00:50:34In here.
00:50:35How dare you?
00:50:36Open ports.
00:50:37And don't stop on the way, driver.
00:51:08Mr. Brigad.
00:51:10Sent for me last night.
00:51:12And he told me to take this back to you.
00:51:24He says you forgot to get one signature.
00:51:29This one.
00:51:31It should say W. Kroll there as well.
00:51:48It's a pretty strong order, Mr. Melmode.
00:51:53The brigad knows it's a forgery.
00:51:56I think he does, sir.
00:51:59And he's not going to the police?
00:52:04And nor shall I, Mr. Melmode.
00:52:08But I shan't be back in the lane anymore.
00:52:18Well, you're not back at the office, Kroll.
00:52:22I think not.
00:52:24No.
00:52:27So you're leaving me?
00:52:32There's a little money owing.
00:52:33But you'll send it, no?
00:52:43Goodbye, Mr. Melmode.
00:52:57Oh, Heta.
00:53:01There's a lady waiting for you in the sitting room.
00:53:14Forgive the intrusion, Miss Carberry.
00:53:16I'm going back to the States,
00:53:18and I wanted to see you before I go.
00:53:22You're leaving with Mr. Montague?
00:53:26I am traveling alone.
00:53:33I've been doing some thinking since last we met.
00:53:39I guess I've been playing a bad hand for too long.
00:53:43He's yours, Miss Carberry, if you want him.
00:53:48And I should take him if I were you.
00:53:50And tell him he has nothing to fear from me.
00:53:53I've put away my pistols and my whips.
00:53:57I shan't be taking my revenge.
00:53:58Not this time.
00:54:01I only wish I could have made him love me
00:54:04as he did a long time ago.
00:54:08But when I came to see you before...
00:54:10Miss Carberry,
00:54:13when I spoke to you before,
00:54:16I let you think that Paul Montague and I
00:54:18made love at Lowestaff.
00:54:27I want to tell you now that
00:54:28that
00:54:30wasn't true.
00:54:33I asked him to spend
00:54:34one last night with me, but
00:54:37he refused.
00:54:40For your sake.
00:54:47When I spoke to you before,
00:54:49I couldn't bear to let you triumph over me.
00:54:52But now I find I can.
00:54:55I don't want to triumph over you.
00:54:58Why not?
00:54:59You've got him.
00:55:00Are you telling me you don't want him now?
00:55:02Oh, it's so
00:55:04messy and
00:55:06complicated and compromised.
00:55:14When I first fell in love with him,
00:55:17I thought he was perfect.
00:55:19None of them are.
00:55:21None of us come to bed.
00:55:22But as men go,
00:55:24he's about as good as they come.
00:55:26Roger Carberry is entirely good.
00:55:30Maybe.
00:55:32But what use is a man like that
00:55:34to you or me?
00:55:36No passion,
00:55:38no spirit,
00:55:39no badness.
00:55:41He might as well be stuffed in a museum.
00:55:44An English country gentleman,
00:55:46circa 1870.
00:55:49Paul wants you.
00:55:50Take a chance on him.
00:55:52It might not work out,
00:55:54but at least you'll have an interesting ride.
00:55:59And I wish you
00:56:00every happiness.
00:56:04Goodbye,
00:56:05Miss Carberry.
00:56:07I'm glad to have met you.
00:56:19You better pack up your jewels.
00:56:22Is something going to happen, Malmute?
00:56:24Pack them up small.
00:56:28Keep them ready to hand.
00:56:31You might have to travel without me.
00:56:35And Marie too?
00:56:36No.
00:56:38The girl's all right.
00:56:43She has her own money.
00:56:49Are we ruined, Malmute?
00:56:52Pretty much.
00:56:54We stayed too long.
00:56:58I enjoyed it too much.
00:57:02Being an English gentleman.
00:57:10Perhaps I should have built that damn railroad after all.
00:57:14I don't understand.
00:57:16You don't.
00:57:18The shares are at nothing.
00:57:23I owe hundreds of thousands.
00:57:28I've got nothing to pay with.
00:57:46So what are you staring at?
00:57:48What will you do?
00:57:52Will they send you to prison?
00:58:01If it comes to it,
00:58:08I shall go down to the house.
00:58:14And if I fall,
00:58:18they shall see I can fall like a man.
00:58:21Don't go down to the house.
00:58:25Don't go down.
00:58:26All right.
00:58:44Go.
00:58:44Go.
00:58:49Go.
00:58:50Go.
00:58:50Go.
00:58:50Go.
00:59:00A statement to the House
00:59:03from the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
00:59:09Mr Malmott,
00:59:11you wish to raise a point of order?
00:59:37Order!
00:59:39Order!
00:59:41Order!
00:59:43Order!
00:59:43Order!
00:59:45Order!
00:59:46Order!
00:59:50Order!
00:59:57Order!
00:59:58Order!
01:00:01Order!
01:00:02Order!
01:00:04Order!
01:00:08Order!
01:00:08Order!
01:00:11Order!
01:03:01It's your own doctor.
01:03:03If you want money.
01:03:05No, no, please.
01:03:06I wouldn't dream of it.
01:03:10I, uh...
01:03:13It's all right.
01:03:15I understand.
01:03:16The engagement's all over.
01:03:21What a life it has been.
01:03:25Now it's over.
01:03:29I don't suppose I shall see you again.
01:03:34I don't know why you should think that.
01:03:36Yes, you do.
01:03:38You like me well enough, but you have to marry Fortune like all the rest.
01:03:44Come, let's not pretend.
01:03:47It's all right.
01:03:49It's all right.
01:03:50You can go now.
01:03:51I know.
01:04:25It was a bad shame, you know.
01:04:29Too many things.
01:04:31If he'd stuck to the railway, he might have come out right.
01:04:37Mr. Fisker arrived in London yesterday.
01:04:41He can deal with the creditors.
01:04:48Mademoiselle, your money is safe.
01:04:52Nobody can touch it.
01:04:54Not if he was in dead millions.
01:04:57You're still a rich young lady.
01:05:02You can...
01:05:05look after that one.
01:05:07No?
01:05:11If I choose to.
01:05:13Thank you, Mr. Crow.
01:05:25I feel as if I have to start my life all over again.
01:05:30I didn't love my father, but life would be so strange without him there.
01:05:37What about you?
01:05:38Are you happy with the man you love?
01:05:41No, I have broken with him.
01:05:45I found he was involved with another woman.
01:05:49No, a beast.
01:05:52Does he love this other woman and not you?
01:05:56No, I think he loves me.
01:06:00And I still love him.
01:06:02And take him.
01:06:04You must.
01:06:04Don't be a fool.
01:06:06You don't understand.
01:06:08I understand this.
01:06:10That we women must take our fates in our own hands.
01:06:14I will never be like that woman in there, or my poor mother.
01:06:18I will live my life to the full.
01:06:22So must you.
01:06:31Paul.
01:06:33It is great to see you.
01:06:36Hey, how was everything?
01:06:37I'm surprised you have the nerve to show your face here, Fisker.
01:06:40Hey, hey, hey.
01:06:41Now hold hard, partner.
01:06:42Listen, I understand that things weren't so good the last time that we met.
01:06:46But you can't blame me for that.
01:06:48Things are a damn sight worse now, I suppose.
01:06:51I doubt you've come over to end up the company.
01:06:53Are you crazy?
01:06:55Have you not seen the price of the American stock?
01:06:59Paul, we're going to build the railway.
01:07:03Come here.
01:07:04Come here.
01:07:04Sit down.
01:07:08This is the new schedule of works.
01:07:10Take a look at it.
01:07:13Now go on.
01:07:14Check it out.
01:07:16After all, you're going to be the one who's in charge of it.
01:07:20If that's still what you want.
01:07:22Hey, didn't I tell you, it always pans out like this.
01:07:25First wave of investors lose their shirts, but the second wave, they make their fortunes.
01:07:31Man, it's too bad that old Melmott got in too deep.
01:07:34You know, I had a lot of time for that man.
01:07:37He made his mark in the world, all right, but he had to always push that just a little bit
01:07:41too far.
01:07:41I hope you held on to your shares.
01:07:45So, come on, Paul.
01:07:47What's it going to be?
01:07:49Are you in or are you out?
01:07:53Why should I believe it was you say?
01:07:56First, because we are partners.
01:07:59That's why.
01:08:01And second, because it is guaranteed.
01:08:03In black and white, page 29, construction is to begin in one week's time.
01:08:09And the money, it is in the bank.
01:08:15So, what's it going to be?
01:08:16Are you in or are you out?
01:08:20Hey, I thought that you wanted to build a railway.
01:08:35No, Mr. Montague.
01:08:37I'm afraid that's out of the question.
01:08:39Then would you tell her I came to say goodbye?
01:08:43I am leaving the country shortly.
01:08:46Probably forever.
01:08:49I made a mess of things with your daughter, Lady Carberry.
01:08:53And I dare say she'll be as glad to see the back of me as you are.
01:08:58I don't deserve her.
01:08:59I know that.
01:09:02But I never meant to make her unhappy.
01:09:05It's a strange, complicated life, the way we live now.
01:09:12And things aren't always as clear-cut as we'd like them to be.
01:09:18But one thing is as clear as day for me.
01:09:23I love Hedda.
01:09:25And I always will.
01:09:29Will you tell her that for me?
01:09:31And that I hope she'll be happy.
01:09:35And that I shall be thinking of her every minute of every day.
01:09:41Goodbye, Lady Carberry.
01:09:43Goodbye, Mr. Montague.
01:09:52Paul!
01:09:56Hedda!
01:10:01Paul!
01:10:10Take me with you.
01:10:19Bye, keep up.
01:10:23Bye, I'll be back.
01:10:27Bye, pap.
01:10:30Bye, boo.
01:10:30Bye.
01:10:30Bye, bye.
01:10:33Bye, bye.
01:10:35Bye, bye.
01:10:38Bye, bye.
01:10:44Which, how do you feel, okay?
