0:00:03 > 0:00:07This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15He didn't see you, pretty sure he didn't.

0:00:15 > 0:00:17He's holding a picture of me, so he'd better not have.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19Did I tell you I spoke to Eric?

0:00:19 > 0:00:20No, you didn't. When did you do that?

0:00:20 > 0:00:23When you arrived last night, bleeding all over the place.

0:00:23 > 0:00:24And what did you say to him?

0:00:24 > 0:00:28I said, "Bring a car in the morning - we need to move Louis."

0:00:28 > 0:00:30And can he be trusted?

0:00:30 > 0:00:33I'm not sure, we'll soon see if the police turn up now.

0:00:33 > 0:00:35Who's this?

0:00:35 > 0:00:36Don't know.

0:00:38 > 0:00:41Eric?! What the hell is he doing bringing something that size!

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Get in the car, Louis.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46Not until I know where you're taking me.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49- We're going west, about six miles. - Why are we going west?

0:00:49 > 0:00:52We can't have a conversation about it! Get in the car!

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Got to lie right down on the seat, go on, lie down.

0:00:58 > 0:01:00What the hell's she doing here?

0:01:00 > 0:01:03- Don't let her get in this car. - What?

0:01:03 > 0:01:05You heard me, don't let her in.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Sarah, what you doing here?

0:01:07 > 0:01:09I thought this was the only place you could come.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- I wanted to say something to Louis. - You weren't followed, were you?

0:01:12 > 0:01:15No, I wasn't. That's Pamela's car, I stayed with her last night,

0:01:15 > 0:01:17nobody's going to follow her.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19I need a word with Louis, just for a moment.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20Sarah, we've got to go.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21I have to have a word with Louis.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Some other time, Sarah.

0:01:25 > 0:01:26She can follow us.

0:01:26 > 0:01:27What?

0:01:27 > 0:01:29You can follow us.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30Right!

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Why on earth did you do that? - She was going to follow us anyway.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34Get right down!

0:01:59 > 0:02:01'Jessie!

0:02:01 > 0:02:05'I saw you with Jessie Taylor. I saw you arguing the night she was attacked.'

0:02:16 > 0:02:17You saw Mr Luscombe in the hotel

0:02:17 > 0:02:19when he maintains he was on the train to Paris.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22I'm not taking any help from Mr Masterson, I promise you, Stanley.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24That's the last thing I'll do.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27This is so very exciting.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30You told the police that you saw Julian in the hotel,

0:02:30 > 0:02:32when he couldn't possibly have been there.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Come back to the hotel?

0:02:33 > 0:02:34I'm not that stupid, Sarah.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36What are you saying?

0:02:36 > 0:02:38That you don't trust any of us?

0:02:41 > 0:02:43My brother's going to be an American businessman,

0:02:43 > 0:02:46and suddenly you're his partner too, Mr Masterson's.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Don't be concerned, I'm going to see a doctor now.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57BELL RINGS

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Get down, Louis! For Christ's sake! I told you to keep down.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Why won't you tell me where you're taking me?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- We have, we're going west. - Why are we going out to the suburbs?

0:03:08 > 0:03:09We need somewhere to put you.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12The obvious thing to do is to get to Victoria, you buy a ticket,

0:03:12 > 0:03:15give it to me, and I get the boat-train. We should do the simplest plan.

0:03:15 > 0:03:16Oh, really?! Done this before, have you?!

0:03:16 > 0:03:19The longer we leave it, the more places they'll watch,

0:03:19 > 0:03:21going in the opposite direction is plain stupid.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Pull up, Eric! Pull up right now!

0:03:26 > 0:03:28FOG HORN BLARES

0:03:33 > 0:03:35You want to do that? Go and catch the boat-train?!

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Yes. I think I should go straight there.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39We'll turn round, drop you in front of Victoria Station,

0:03:39 > 0:03:41and watch you being arrested within 20 seconds.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43We don't have to do it like that...

0:03:43 > 0:03:44And you have your passport on you?

0:03:44 > 0:03:47No, it's at the hotel, and you told me not to go back there,

0:03:47 > 0:03:49but one of the band could easily get it from my room and meet me.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53Whilst you're sitting at Victoria Station drinking coffee, I suppose?!

0:03:53 > 0:03:54For God's sake, Louis, listen to me!

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Donaldson told all of us last night that the police have Harry Thornton

0:03:58 > 0:04:01saying that he saw you screaming at Jessie the night she was attacked.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04They've timed the drive from the airbase where you were playing

0:04:04 > 0:04:06and worked out you could have easily got back in time to knife her.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09And after I attacked her, I got back in the car, did I?!

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Covered in blood, cos I would have been totally

0:04:11 > 0:04:14covered in blood, and somehow drove up again to the hotel

0:04:14 > 0:04:16so I could be seen arriving, as relaxed as could be?!!

0:04:16 > 0:04:18- Yes, they think you could have done that.- HOW?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Because you're a clever negro.

0:04:22 > 0:04:23"He thinks he's such a clever negro,

0:04:23 > 0:04:26"everybody knows what an opinion he has of himself!"

0:04:26 > 0:04:27That is what they've decided you did.

0:04:27 > 0:04:32So if you want to take your chance with the entire English legal system I'm not going to stop you, I'm not.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35I don't have to be doing any of this, you realise, carrying

0:04:35 > 0:04:38you around London, while the whole bloody police force is on your back.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41And why are you doing it, then? I'd like to know that, Stanley.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Maybe because your last interview might make quite a good story.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46HORN BEEPS

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- SARAH:- Stop that at once! Get out of the car!

0:04:48 > 0:04:51All of you, get away from the car!

0:04:51 > 0:04:52I don't trust her.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Well, she's here, so you've got no other choice but to trust her.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21DOG BARKS

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Louis! Come on.

0:05:30 > 0:05:31Eric, what is this place?

0:05:31 > 0:05:35It's my brother's, he's even more interested in taking things apart than I am.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38- Where is he? - He won't be back till later.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41He works in a film studio, I've a key because I work with him

0:05:41 > 0:05:43sometimes. We're building a projector.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Keep away from the window! - How long do I need to be here for?

0:05:46 > 0:05:47- We need a few hours.- Till it's dark.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51- There's a meeting with Mr Masterson in two hours.- You're going to that?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53Eric and I have to, and Sarah, too, but she can join later.

0:05:53 > 0:05:54Mr Wax is signing off the magazine,

0:05:54 > 0:05:57we need to be there for that, if we're not then...

0:05:57 > 0:05:59- They might think we're holding a fugitive.- Exactly.

0:05:59 > 0:06:00Which we are!

0:06:00 > 0:06:02- What are you doing? - I need to change your bandage.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04It's all right, the bleeding's stopped.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06You need a new bandage, it'll get infected otherwise.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08I'm going to do this, keep still.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10You want me to stay here until it's dark?!

0:06:10 > 0:06:11- Yes.- What if someone needs your brother?

0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Don't answer the door!- Keep still, please. I'm going to do this properly.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18I'll get your passport, easier if I do it and I'll still have time for the meeting.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21The most important thing is to get out of these, wearing this in the middle...

0:06:21 > 0:06:23By the time it's night it won't matter.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- I'll get a change of clothes. - You're expected at the meeting.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28I'll get them and come straight back.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- We can't both go to the hotel. - I won't go to the hotel.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34With a change of clothes, I can do the rest. Thanks, but I don't want you all taking risks, so...

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Louis, as hard as it is, you've got to stay in this room

0:06:37 > 0:06:38and when it's dark we will move you.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Maybe we can find somewhere out of London for a couple of days

0:06:41 > 0:06:43and then you can try to reach a port, but just promise me

0:06:43 > 0:06:45you won't be stupid and try to leave.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Mr Masterson!

0:06:55 > 0:06:57Is there anything I can get you, sir?

0:06:57 > 0:07:01No, no, quite unnecessary. Please carry on.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03You're here even earlier than I am.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Well, it's a big day, signing of the agreement,

0:07:06 > 0:07:08so I thought I should be early.

0:07:08 > 0:07:13Days don't get much bigger than this do they, well not for me, anyway!

0:07:13 > 0:07:17Nor for me, after the signing I'm leaving the country with Mr Luscombe.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19You're going today, sir?

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Indeed, it's a very interesting trip in prospect,

0:07:22 > 0:07:25we're flying to Cherbourg tonight, then crossing to New York

0:07:25 > 0:07:29on a brand new liner, which is kind of appropriate, don't you think?

0:07:29 > 0:07:31How all new ventures should begin.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40I don't think I should take too many clothes,

0:07:40 > 0:07:43because I will get a whole new wardrobe when I'm out there, won't I?

0:07:43 > 0:07:46I'm don't think you'll need a whole new wardrobe, darling.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50I'll need some very serious shoes, especially, so that when people

0:07:50 > 0:07:54look at me they'll say, "My word, that young man is someone!"

0:07:54 > 0:07:57I'm sure they'll find you some extremely serious shoes.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Oh God, darling!

0:08:00 > 0:08:04A day of goodbyes, what a terrible prospect.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06I'll cry so much.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08And I will miss you so much!

0:08:08 > 0:08:10You will do most of your goodbyes on the telephone, won't you?

0:08:10 > 0:08:13That way you won't get delayed.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15Marvellous idea, that'll be so much easier!

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Then I can just say - "This goodbye has gone on long enough,

0:08:18 > 0:08:19"so goodbye!"

0:08:31 > 0:08:35You'll be here?

0:08:35 > 0:08:40Of course I'll be here, nearly all the time.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42You'll stay close by me?

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Really close?

0:08:45 > 0:08:48I'll stick very close.

0:08:49 > 0:08:50Almost all the time.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58TELEPHONE RINGS

0:09:14 > 0:09:16KNOCK ON THE DOOR

0:09:17 > 0:09:21- Is her Ladyship in?- Yes, sir.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Stanley, good morning!

0:09:24 > 0:09:27We've all decided to have a final cup of tea together.

0:09:27 > 0:09:28A final cup of tea?

0:09:28 > 0:09:32Yes, the old hotel is going up in smoke, apparently.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34We're giving up our apartments here,

0:09:34 > 0:09:37it's very definitely time to move on, we've all agreed on that.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39Ladies.

0:09:39 > 0:09:40They've been here for absolute ages.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43And when one thinks back to the great things that have happened,

0:09:43 > 0:09:46to the wonderful artists who played here!

0:09:46 > 0:09:48I thought those days were coming back, when the Prince of Wales

0:09:48 > 0:09:52came here to listen to The Louis Lester band play.

0:09:52 > 0:09:56But a fight among musicians, a fatal stabbing, a girl singer dies -

0:09:56 > 0:09:58and, well, it's the end of the place.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Was there a fight amongst musicians?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Well that's what the police seem to believe.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Mr Lester does appear to be the culprit, does he not?

0:10:05 > 0:10:08Which is tremendously sad of course,

0:10:08 > 0:10:10but until the court has pronounced, we certainly mustn't.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18So dark in here.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20It looks like there might be a thunderstorm.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23We must get to work, mustn't we, Stanley? Mr Masterson awaits!

0:10:23 > 0:10:25You can come in my car.

0:10:25 > 0:10:26We have to go already?!

0:10:26 > 0:10:29Yes. Have to be early on our first day.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32TELEPHONE RINGS RUMBLE OF THUNDER

0:10:37 > 0:10:39Here he comes now!

0:10:39 > 0:10:41I told him to bring the car round to the back,

0:10:41 > 0:10:45but there's so many taxis out front, everybody's trying to get away.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47What is it, Stanley?

0:10:50 > 0:10:53What are you doing that for?

0:10:53 > 0:10:55I have no secrets in front of Pardoe.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57I want you to consider something.

0:10:57 > 0:10:58What is that?

0:10:58 > 0:11:00That Louis isn't guilty.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04Well, of course, one hopes that might be the case,

0:11:04 > 0:11:06but the evidence is rather damming.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08There is no evidence. Of course there isn't.

0:11:08 > 0:11:10But we need a little time.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12We? What do you mean we?

0:11:12 > 0:11:14Well, he needs somewhere to go while things calm down.

0:11:14 > 0:11:15I wondered if you could help?

0:11:15 > 0:11:19- If I could help?- If we could use your house in the country for a couple of days?

0:11:19 > 0:11:21No-one will look for him there.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23Pardoe, stop the car.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27I'm amazed you should ask, when the police are out there looking for him right this moment!

0:11:27 > 0:11:30I don't know why you're amazed, we encouraged the band.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32I don't see how that changes anything.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35I'm stunned you should ask ME, Stanley, truly stunned.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39But I am asking you, because I know, in a way, you will understand,

0:11:39 > 0:11:40and want to do something.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44Just for two days? We use your house, you could say you knew nothing about it,

0:11:44 > 0:11:49after all I've been to the house, I could have suggested it to Louis - there's the stable block.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52There was a knifing in the hotel and a girl died.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58Louis is a very intelligent man, of course, but we must not be blinded.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02This was always the likely outcome, a negro band in this hotel,

0:12:02 > 0:12:04a fight, a stabbing.

0:12:04 > 0:12:06Do you really believe that, Lavinia?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Yes, I do.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11What if Mr Masterson's involved? What if he's protecting Julian?

0:12:11 > 0:12:14That's impossible, quite impossible. And you know that.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Do I? I thought it was impossible, but maybe it isn't.

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Stanley, if you're helping Louis...

0:12:19 > 0:12:21I didn't say that, I didn't say I was.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23..you could go to prison for a long time.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25I know that, Lavinia.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27Are you helping him?

0:12:27 > 0:12:30No, I'm not. Not yet.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32I'm going to be the proprietor of the magazine

0:12:32 > 0:12:36and this is our first day, and I was really looking forward to it,

0:12:36 > 0:12:40us working together, and you bring me this!

0:12:40 > 0:12:42What do I bring you, Lavinia?

0:12:42 > 0:12:44You bring me chaos.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46God knows I've had enough of that in my life,

0:12:46 > 0:12:49with what happened with my sons.

0:12:49 > 0:12:51I know that Lavinia, of course.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55For a moment I thought it had stopped...

0:12:55 > 0:12:56and now this!

0:12:58 > 0:13:01I don't know what you thought you were doing.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04You've ruined everything,

0:13:04 > 0:13:07you've ruined our day.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Lavinia!

0:13:24 > 0:13:25Lavinia!

0:13:51 > 0:13:53What do you think you are doing?

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Looking for Carla. I'm doing an article on the break-up of the band.

0:13:57 > 0:13:58- Are you indeed?!- Yes.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Do you think anyone wants to read that now?

0:14:01 > 0:14:03Maybe, we'll see. Do you know where she is?

0:14:03 > 0:14:04No, I don't.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10You brought the roof down on all of us, Stanley, you realise that?

0:14:10 > 0:14:12- I have?!- You brought the band here.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17- WOMAN:- I watch all day...

0:14:17 > 0:14:18INAUDIBLE SPEECH

0:14:22 > 0:14:24CAR ENGINE RUMBLES

0:14:35 > 0:14:38WOMAN: 'We've had so many burglaries, I've lost count...

0:14:38 > 0:14:41'Where are the police? Always too late...

0:14:45 > 0:14:47'I tell you, we've had enough!'

0:14:47 > 0:14:48Why is Pamela here?

0:14:48 > 0:14:52She insisted on coming! I couldn't stop her.

0:14:52 > 0:14:57Don't worry though, Louis, she wants to help, I really believe she does.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59I've brought the clothes, they're in the car.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00Why are they in the car?

0:15:00 > 0:15:04I wanted to make sure you were still here first.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Nobody followed us, I promise!

0:15:07 > 0:15:09I was keeping an eye out the whole way!

0:15:09 > 0:15:11So how do they know I'm here?

0:15:11 > 0:15:15I don't know! Louis, believe me!

0:15:15 > 0:15:19WOMAN: 'You think we're going to put up with it?

0:15:19 > 0:15:21'You don't do anything about it.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24'She had five visits from the police

0:15:24 > 0:15:27'and all she had stolen was a cigarette case.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30'The police are never here.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33'They should be!

0:15:33 > 0:15:38'I'm going to write to my Member of Parliament, Herbert Stringer,

0:15:38 > 0:15:41'and you're going to hear from him, I promise you will...'

0:15:53 > 0:15:57Keep going! Keep going!

0:15:58 > 0:16:00I've got the clothes.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02And what did you say to the police?

0:16:02 > 0:16:04As little as I could, they said they were investigating a burglary.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06Best not go back to the car yet!

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Better get you changed, Louis.

0:16:09 > 0:16:10Where do you suggest I change?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12We'll find somewhere.

0:16:27 > 0:16:29We'll do it there.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31And they're not going to notice?

0:16:31 > 0:16:34We act as if it's the most natural thing in the world.

0:16:34 > 0:16:36You take this suitcase, Louis, after all,

0:16:36 > 0:16:39why shouldn't you be my servant? That's what they'll think.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49Sit there, and I'll go and find out if I can get us in.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Sit there? In full view of everybody?

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Of course, the police won't look for him here -

0:16:55 > 0:16:57you've got to hold your nerve, Sarah.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01Bernard, you and your friends are going to play the music for us, are you not?

0:17:01 > 0:17:04I will go and see how big the space is, and if it'll suit.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10I just wanted to see inside.

0:17:10 > 0:17:11I hear there is a room for hire?

0:17:11 > 0:17:12Of course!

0:17:12 > 0:17:16There is? Then you must show me, lead the way.

0:17:18 > 0:17:23I didn't bring them here - the police - I promise!

0:17:23 > 0:17:25I know they didn't follow me.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26It doesn't matter.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28What doesn't matter?

0:17:28 > 0:17:31It matters to me what you think more than anything.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- WHISPERS:- Sarah, you can't cry.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40I'm not crying. I'm not going to cry.

0:17:42 > 0:17:45I shouldn't be sitting here.

0:17:45 > 0:17:47If I'm your servant, I ought to stand.

0:17:47 > 0:17:51Don't stand, please don't stand, talk to me.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53I won't cry, I promise.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Look as if you're giving me orders about the party.

0:17:56 > 0:17:57What party?

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- HUSHED:- The party you've hired me and my friends to play at.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04That's not easy, to pretend, at this very moment.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06Pamela's not finding it so difficult.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08There's a very good reason for that, isn't there?!

0:18:08 > 0:18:12She doesn't care about you the way that I do.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15No, don't say anything to that or I will break down.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18It hurts so much that you don't trust me.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- WHISPERS:- You're right, we shouldn't talk about this now.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23But that doesn't mean we never should.

0:18:23 > 0:18:26Give me orders, about what you require,

0:18:26 > 0:18:29for the entertainment at the party.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31Yes, yes.

0:18:32 > 0:18:36How many of you will there be, providing the music?

0:18:36 > 0:18:38About ten, ma'am.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40What's taking her so long?

0:18:40 > 0:18:44I've got to be at the meeting, the signing of the magazine's

0:18:44 > 0:18:47future, and we need to get you away from here and changed before...

0:18:47 > 0:18:52I think it might well be what I'm looking for.

0:18:54 > 0:18:56The lady's got to go, Ma'am.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59Yes, you go, Sarah, take the car.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Take the car?!

0:19:02 > 0:19:04Yes.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07If the police are following the car, it's best Louis isn't in it.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09But where will you go?

0:19:09 > 0:19:12We'll find somewhere back in town, maybe that little club where Louis

0:19:12 > 0:19:15played for the Prince that time and there was that thunderstorm.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19Go to your meeting, darling, we'll take care of the arrangements.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Go!

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Go!

0:19:31 > 0:19:33SARAH SOBS

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Let's see if this could possibly work, Bernard,

0:19:37 > 0:19:39or whether it's far too pokey!

0:19:41 > 0:19:45Now let's find you somewhere to change. Excuse me?

0:19:45 > 0:19:46Excuse me.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50This may take a little while.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Why are you here?

0:19:51 > 0:19:55I'm not sure you should worry about that right at this moment, Louis.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59ERIC: ..to really gain some new readers...

0:19:59 > 0:20:02we have an incredible opportunity here...

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Where on earth have you been, Stanley?

0:20:03 > 0:20:06I've been with Lavinia, erm, Lady Cremone.

0:20:06 > 0:20:07She'll be a little late.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Almost everyone seems to be late today.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12Just when their future's being decided!

0:20:12 > 0:20:14And Sarah will be here very soon, I think so.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17Yes, we have something for her.

0:20:17 > 0:20:21Eric was just showing us the new magazine, quite a transformation!

0:20:21 > 0:20:24We're going to have the space for so many more pages,

0:20:24 > 0:20:27I thought we needed to expand, boldly.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30Our biggest new section is our cinema section,

0:20:30 > 0:20:32which will have at least three particular subdivisions -

0:20:32 > 0:20:38the USA, Hollywood, of course, Europe, and naturally us.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40And equally exciting, I think, is this -

0:20:40 > 0:20:44a special section on censorship, on movies that can't be shown here -

0:20:44 > 0:20:49at least not yet - like this amazing new erotic film from Czechoslovakia,

0:20:49 > 0:20:54Ecstasy - it is quite poetic but it does have full nakedness!

0:20:54 > 0:20:57A few photos from that will move a hell of a lot of copies!

0:21:01 > 0:21:04What do you think, Stanley?!

0:21:08 > 0:21:10And there are going to be so many photographs,

0:21:10 > 0:21:13about ten times more than we had.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16Yes, Mr Masterson has bought a brand new camera for Sarah,

0:21:16 > 0:21:19this fast-speed camera's only just come out!

0:21:19 > 0:21:23I think it will cause quite a revolution in the use of photographs.

0:21:23 > 0:21:24And we will show the way.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27A new camera, Sarah will love that.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Stanley, I need a word with you.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31What is it, Mr Masterson?

0:21:31 > 0:21:32You must call me Walter.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36All right, Walter, what is it?

0:21:36 > 0:21:38I just wanted you to check your new salary.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43It seemed to me to be a fair figure, to start with.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45Do you agree with that figure?

0:21:45 > 0:21:51Yes, it's, erm, very generous, course I do!

0:21:51 > 0:21:54Good, as we expand further, it'll go up.

0:21:54 > 0:21:58I have to ask you, Stanley, have you seen Louis Lester within the last few hours?

0:21:58 > 0:22:00I have not.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03You don't know where Mr Lester currently is?

0:22:03 > 0:22:06No, I don't. What's this got to do with the signing?

0:22:06 > 0:22:08This is the first magazine I've owned.

0:22:08 > 0:22:13I think people might feel it is rather sensible of me to make sure my editor doesn't wind up in jail.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Well, that certainly isn't going to happen.

0:22:15 > 0:22:19Good. I'm reassured. You've had no contact?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21No.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Of course, when the police do arrest him, I'll see if I can get his last interview.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26That will be a scoop, certainly.

0:22:26 > 0:22:30- And in fact Mr Lester is about to be found.- He is?

0:22:30 > 0:22:32I fully expect him to be found before midnight tonight,

0:22:32 > 0:22:34because I have offered a reward of £10,000

0:22:34 > 0:22:37for information leading to his capture.

0:22:37 > 0:22:38It's about to be announced.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41You've offered a reward... of £10,000?!

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Yes, why is that so surprising?

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Because we all knew Louis, we all did.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49It's one thing not to actually help him, but it's a little

0:22:49 > 0:22:52- different offering a huge reward for his arrest!- Is it?

0:22:52 > 0:22:56I think we have to disagree, Stanley, it seemed to me

0:22:56 > 0:22:59to be the right thing to do, because although I wasn't

0:22:59 > 0:23:04responsible for the band being at The Imperial,

0:23:04 > 0:23:08I am a resident there, I've seen what's happened to the hotel.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11In any case it's done - it will be out in the first

0:23:11 > 0:23:13edition of the evening newspaper, which is within the hour.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16I don't think we should keep Mr Wax waiting any longer, do you?

0:23:21 > 0:23:23Do I take the plunge?

0:23:25 > 0:23:26Or do I have a change of heart?!

0:23:29 > 0:23:31No, no change of heart,

0:23:31 > 0:23:33the price was too good!

0:23:38 > 0:23:40I'll go and check the luggage.

0:23:47 > 0:23:49Lavinia, why are you all alone?!

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Just perching here for a moment.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56You mustn't ever drink alone, even coffee, terrible idea.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58I was just a little early for a meeting,

0:23:58 > 0:24:00and now I may be a little late.

0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Walter's meeting?- Yes.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05Your life is going to be full of Walter from now on, his calls,

0:24:05 > 0:24:09his telegrams, his commands!

0:24:09 > 0:24:11Me too. He's taking me away, you know.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14- I do know that, yes. - He's got fingers in every pie, it's amazing, isn't it?

0:24:14 > 0:24:17He doesn't ever have deep thoughts or anything like that,

0:24:17 > 0:24:20but suddenly he's in every pie!

0:24:20 > 0:24:22Come on, Lavinia, why are you so sad?

0:24:22 > 0:24:24You can smile at that!

0:24:24 > 0:24:30I am a little upset, of course, about what's happened to Louis Lester, it's a terrible business.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34It is! It's shocking, quite awful!

0:24:34 > 0:24:38And the news changes every minute, doesn't it?

0:24:38 > 0:24:42Walter told me, this morning, that he's offered a reward, quite a big

0:24:42 > 0:24:45reward, actually, for any information leading to Louis' arrest.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48He's offering a reward? Are you sure?

0:24:48 > 0:24:52Oh yes, it's going to be in the paper!

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Well, that took long enough. They nearly fit.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Where do they come from, one of your servants?

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Yes. But that's much better.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13Come on, Bernard, over here, the taxi will be here any moment.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yes, ma'am.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18When the taxi arrives, Bernard, I want you to tell the driver to go

0:25:18 > 0:25:21to Fortnum and Masons in Piccadilly, I need a couple of items from there.

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Yes, ma'am.

0:25:23 > 0:25:24You may sit with me.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35- WHISPERS:- We're not going to Fortnum and Masons, are we?

0:25:35 > 0:25:41Of course not, when we're back in town, we'll head to that little music club, don't you think?

0:25:41 > 0:25:44It's funny what people chose to do with their lives.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46I expect my mother would like it here.

0:25:46 > 0:25:51I don't think bowls is very popular with Jews, so she wouldn't find many here.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53And that would make her so happy!

0:25:56 > 0:25:58Don't worry, the taxi will be here at any moment.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02As soon as it's dark, I'll get out of London, to Bristol or Cardiff, and get a ship.

0:26:02 > 0:26:03Let's hope it's that easy.

0:26:03 > 0:26:07It'll be easier on my own.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09Ma'am.

0:26:09 > 0:26:10Maybe.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14Or maybe you're less easy to spot when you're being a servant, Louis.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27There you are!

0:26:27 > 0:26:28Mr Luscombe, what a surprise!

0:26:28 > 0:26:30I've been saying goodbyes all over town,

0:26:30 > 0:26:34and of course one of my first had to be you, Carla.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36It's been such a terrible day, hasn't it?

0:26:36 > 0:26:39With all those awful things in the papers about Louis,

0:26:39 > 0:26:43it's not possible, it's just not possible he did anything to Jessie!

0:26:43 > 0:26:45I know he can't have!

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Course he didn't.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48I miss Jessie awfully!

0:26:49 > 0:26:51I find myself saying things to her,

0:26:51 > 0:26:53there's so much I wish I had said, when I had a chance.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57That's absolutely right, so do I.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00It's especially true today because my sister's gone missing,

0:27:00 > 0:27:04for a little while at least, and I have all these goodbyes to do in just a few hours.

0:27:04 > 0:27:05You're going today?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Tonight, yes!

0:27:11 > 0:27:14I really don't want to go, I hate the idea of a business job,

0:27:14 > 0:27:18of belonging to someone, of not being able to do what I want,

0:27:18 > 0:27:20like you can, Carla.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23I won't be any more, we're having to leave this place,

0:27:23 > 0:27:24the band's breaking up.

0:27:27 > 0:27:30When I get to America, I'm going to look after you.

0:27:30 > 0:27:36I'm going to take you out there for a holiday and tell everybody what a wonderful talent you have.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39And how much you mean to me.

0:27:39 > 0:27:40Mean to you?

0:27:40 > 0:27:43How unforgettable you are, and our times together,

0:27:43 > 0:27:45you and Jessie and me.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50And how it will always be, it is, the highlight of my life.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55You're holding me too tight, Mr Luscombe...

0:27:59 > 0:28:00Please.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06How do you want us to say goodbye, then?

0:28:06 > 0:28:09I don't know...

0:28:11 > 0:28:15Shake hands, like proper...

0:28:15 > 0:28:18Like proper what? Like proper gentleman?!

0:28:18 > 0:28:23I don't know, Carla, if I ever will be a proper gentleman,

0:28:23 > 0:28:26and shall I tell you something?

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Nobody I know is, absolutely nobody!

0:28:31 > 0:28:34Except Mr Schlesinger, of course.

0:28:34 > 0:28:36Mr Luscombe, good morning.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39Carla, I have to tell you this now, I'm afraid,

0:28:39 > 0:28:43tonight is the last night you can use your bedroom here.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46That's our notice is it?

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Just one night!

0:28:54 > 0:28:57Sarah, we have a little present for you.

0:28:57 > 0:28:58It's a new camera.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05Thank you so much. This is tremendous.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07It has an amazing telephoto lens

0:29:07 > 0:29:09and a totally new high-speed shutter.

0:29:09 > 0:29:15And it allows you to take pictures really quickly, as many as you want.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23Louis had to move.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25What? I told him!

0:29:25 > 0:29:27He had to, the police turned up.

0:29:27 > 0:29:29Where is he now?

0:29:29 > 0:29:34- ERIC:- I think if we start by putting this all up around the walls,

0:29:34 > 0:29:37so we can see the magazine at a glance!

0:29:37 > 0:29:40One can do without chairs, but not notice boards!

0:29:40 > 0:29:42It's like this morning never happened at all.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44Yes.

0:29:44 > 0:29:46I don't think we should involve him any further.

0:29:46 > 0:29:48I left Louis with Pamela.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50Pamela?! Well, what was she doing there?

0:29:50 > 0:29:53I couldn't stop her coming, she said they might go to that club,

0:29:53 > 0:29:55you know, the one you first found Louis in.

0:29:55 > 0:30:00Put those there and let's go and get the big one.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05I'm going to go home in a moment

0:30:05 > 0:30:09- because that's where Pamela will be able to contact me.- Yes, they need to be able to find us.

0:30:09 > 0:30:10He's offered a reward you know,

0:30:10 > 0:30:12right now people are reading about it.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15- So we don't have long. - It's the first time

0:30:15 > 0:30:19I've found myself wishing something terrible had happened in the news, an airship crash,

0:30:19 > 0:30:23just so his reward doesn't get much space in the paper.

0:30:23 > 0:30:25I've got to find out.

0:30:25 > 0:30:27For Christ sake, Eric!

0:30:30 > 0:30:33Good. Er, Sarah, could you help us with these boards please?

0:30:35 > 0:30:37They're going to go all around the room.

0:30:39 > 0:30:40Good position, is it?

0:30:41 > 0:30:45- What?- The reward? Has it got a good position?

0:30:47 > 0:30:51Yes, I think you can call it that.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Do you think it will work, Stanley? - I'm sure it will.

0:30:55 > 0:31:00So am I. Now come up and chair your first editorial meeting.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Mr Donaldson?- Nathan, this must be terrible for you,

0:31:06 > 0:31:09all these rumours about what's happening to the hotel.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12Unless something extraordinary happens the Bertram Brothers

0:31:12 > 0:31:16are going to sell the place, and it's going to be demolished, and an office block put up.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19Knocked down for an office block, the final insult!

0:31:19 > 0:31:22- So it really is the last days of the place?- Yes.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24Well, you never know, Nathan,

0:31:24 > 0:31:27- something extraordinary might happen.- Like what?

0:31:27 > 0:31:30Another buyer will ride to the rescue!

0:31:30 > 0:31:33No, not even Mr Masterson would want this old pile.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36We'll see. The man is very unpredictable.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40While I am the complete opposite, of course.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42PHONE RINGS

0:31:46 > 0:31:50- Take a seat.- I have information about the whereabouts of Louis Lester,

0:31:50 > 0:31:51- the band leader.- Oh, yes?

0:31:51 > 0:31:54I didn't know whether to go to the newspapers or come here first.

0:31:54 > 0:31:55You made the right decision.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01I followed Mr Lester to the offices of the magazine Music Express.

0:32:01 > 0:32:05- Well, you're not going to get £10,000 for that.- No?

0:32:05 > 0:32:06I saw him go inside.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09You're still not going to get £10,000 for that.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12I bet that's better information than anybody else has given you!

0:32:12 > 0:32:16We've visited those offices, there's nobody there.

0:32:16 > 0:32:19They're helping him though, aren't they? They must be.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22We've visited all of Mr Lester's friends -

0:32:22 > 0:32:23and we will continue to do so.

0:32:43 > 0:32:47Mind that bag, Bernard, there are fragile things in there!

0:32:47 > 0:32:49You'd better wait there, we don't want to give them

0:32:49 > 0:32:50too much of a surprise, do we?

0:32:57 > 0:32:59Is Deirdre here?

0:33:05 > 0:33:07I have a visitor for you.

0:33:09 > 0:33:13- You've bought Louis here?! - Yes I have. May we come in?

0:33:13 > 0:33:15Hello, Deirdre.

0:33:15 > 0:33:18You can't be here long, Louis, not long at all!

0:33:18 > 0:33:21We won't be long, I just need to make a telephone call,

0:33:21 > 0:33:23- may I use your office?- Yes.

0:33:26 > 0:33:28What's happened to you, Louis?

0:33:28 > 0:33:31Why are they saying these things about you and Jessie Taylor?

0:33:31 > 0:33:35- Why do you think?- What do you mean? - They think I must have done it.

0:33:38 > 0:33:44This won't take a moment.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48PHONE RINGS

0:33:48 > 0:33:52- Yes?- Darling, it's me. - There you are!

0:33:52 > 0:33:53I've been looking for you.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57- I just had to pop out. - 'But where are you now?'

0:33:57 > 0:33:59I just had to do a little shopping,

0:33:59 > 0:34:01I've just been to Swan & Edgar, I'm coming home.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04But I need you here! You said you wouldn't leave me.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06And I've got so much to arrange before tonight.

0:34:06 > 0:34:10- I'll be home very soon, darling. - Promise?

0:34:10 > 0:34:11I promise.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14I went to the hotel, to say some proper farewells

0:34:14 > 0:34:19but everybody was so busy and so depressed - it was very upsetting!

0:34:19 > 0:34:23It must have been, concentrate on getting everything packed,

0:34:23 > 0:34:26darling, making sure you've got everything you want to take.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29You've got to be ready for when Mr Masterson comes to pick you up

0:34:29 > 0:34:31because you can't keep him waiting.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34I'll be ready, be more than ready to assist Walter -

0:34:34 > 0:34:36to help him buy all sorts of things! From now on,

0:34:36 > 0:34:39- I'm going to do everything he says. - That's good, darling.

0:34:39 > 0:34:42- I'll see you very soon. - Come quickly!

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Why did you lie to him about where you were?

0:34:49 > 0:34:51Why do you think?

0:34:51 > 0:34:53Because he's the most indiscreet person in London.

0:34:53 > 0:34:57- You'd rather I'd told him, would you?- What do you know about your brother and Jessie?

0:34:57 > 0:34:59What are you trying to say?

0:34:59 > 0:35:01I'm saying, what happened between Julian and Jessie?

0:35:01 > 0:35:04My brother didn't kill Jessie Taylor, if that's what you mean,

0:35:04 > 0:35:06of course he didn't.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08If you think that's the reason I'm here, out of guilt,

0:35:08 > 0:35:11because Julian attacked Jessie, then you are quite wrong.

0:35:11 > 0:35:14- Then why are you here?- Because neither did you, attack Jessie.

0:35:15 > 0:35:20And naturally, I don't want to see you swing for it, is that so strange?

0:35:20 > 0:35:24We have spent rather a lot of time with you and the band after all, haven't we?

0:35:34 > 0:35:37Oh, don't make a mess, please, dear,

0:35:37 > 0:35:39this house always seems to get untidy.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42I won't make a mess, Mummy. You know I'm going off tonight?

0:35:42 > 0:35:46Yes, yes and I'm sure it'll be thrilling

0:35:46 > 0:35:50working for Mr Masterson, he's such a capable man.

0:35:50 > 0:35:53There are so few capable men nowadays.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57When he arrives, we'll say a proper goodbye.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13This house is full of guns, isn't it?

0:36:50 > 0:36:53Stanley, your desk has arrived.

0:36:53 > 0:36:54So I see.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01Do you think he's trying to bribe us all?

0:37:01 > 0:37:04If he is, he's left me out.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07It seems to be working, doesn't it?

0:37:08 > 0:37:12I've got to go, Rosie. Tell him I've gone to talk to the police,

0:37:12 > 0:37:15to let me have a few minutes with Louis after he's arrested.

0:37:15 > 0:37:16Where are you really going?

0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Eric!- I think I should come too.

0:37:37 > 0:37:40- You don't know where I'm going. - I have a fair idea.

0:37:40 > 0:37:43You're going to help Louis move somewhere.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46How did you do that anyway? You were just showing him your diagrams.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49He's still looking at the diagrams, probably showing them to the police now.

0:37:49 > 0:37:51You've got to go back, we can't both disappear!

0:37:51 > 0:37:53If it looks odd I can't help it!

0:37:53 > 0:37:56I'm not a very good liar, Stanley, so when I saw the police,

0:37:56 > 0:37:58I thought I'd better pop out.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01DOOR BELL RINGS

0:38:01 > 0:38:02Hello, it's lovely to see you again.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06No we're not going to the office today, straight through to the rehearsal room.

0:38:08 > 0:38:11That's another singer, I can't stop them coming in here!

0:38:11 > 0:38:13One of them is going to recognise you, Louis!

0:38:13 > 0:38:16- There must be another room we can go to?- Even just for a moment.

0:38:16 > 0:38:19There's nowhere else down here. They're early.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21I told you they were coming!

0:38:21 > 0:38:23You'll have to go upstairs, while they're arriving,

0:38:23 > 0:38:27we don't own upstairs, but it's the only place!

0:38:27 > 0:38:31I want to help you, of course, but it's too difficult!

0:38:31 > 0:38:35Really! It is! To the right there Louis! Right!

0:38:37 > 0:38:40Just wait! Wait!

0:38:48 > 0:38:51- These people are waiting... - For a taxi.

0:38:51 > 0:38:53..yes, for a, for a taxi,

0:38:53 > 0:38:57and just wanted to watch while they're waiting.

0:38:57 > 0:39:00I hope you don't mind. I simply love dance.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07CHURCH BELLS PEAL

0:39:09 > 0:39:14Miss Peters, you've been a difficult person to find.

0:39:14 > 0:39:18- Have I?- We'd just like a word with you, if we may?

0:39:20 > 0:39:23It's all right, Father, the police just want to have a word.

0:39:23 > 0:39:25That's right. We just wanted to ask your daughter

0:39:25 > 0:39:28if she knew the whereabouts of Mr Louis Lester?

0:39:28 > 0:39:30Louis Lester? His whereabouts?

0:39:31 > 0:39:33No, I don't know that.

0:39:33 > 0:39:35When did you last see him, Miss Peters?

0:39:35 > 0:39:38A couple of days ago, at the Imperial.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40A couple of days ago?

0:39:40 > 0:39:44Yes, that's right. Before the stories in the newspapers.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47- Yes, you must have been very shocked by those.- I was.

0:39:49 > 0:39:52Sir, if you have no objection, could we have a look upstairs?

0:39:52 > 0:39:56Upstairs? What do you expect to find up there?

0:39:56 > 0:40:01No, please, look upstairs, by all means.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14This is my dark room, as you can see.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17I'd like to look inside, if I may?

0:40:17 > 0:40:19These are just my photographs.

0:40:19 > 0:40:22Well, I'm very interested in photography,

0:40:22 > 0:40:26we're using it more and more ourselves.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29And this is a splendid collection of photos!

0:40:29 > 0:40:32- Thank you. - Especially of Mr Louis Lester.

0:40:32 > 0:40:36I took a lot of photos of his band, of course.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39Yes, we've heard about how much time you've spent with the band,

0:40:39 > 0:40:41from er, Mr Harry Thornton at the Imperial.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43Harry, he never liked the band.

0:40:43 > 0:40:48- You were having an intimate relationship with Mr Lester weren't you?- He was a friend of mine.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51You were having a sexual relationship with him?

0:40:51 > 0:40:52I'm not going to answer that.

0:40:52 > 0:40:55No, you don't have to, I just have to look around,

0:40:55 > 0:40:59all your photographs, they say it all.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03- Where's your colleague?- He's just outside the door, Miss Peters.

0:41:03 > 0:41:07Would you like him to come in? It might become a little crowded.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09Maybe you and I can deal with this?

0:41:09 > 0:41:13You were having regular sexual relations with Mr Lester?

0:41:13 > 0:41:15That's not against the law.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17Not in this country, you're quite right.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20but in other parts of the world it would be another matter, wouldn't it?

0:41:20 > 0:41:24I didn't realise you spoke for them as well.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26Now your father's Russian?

0:41:26 > 0:41:29- He is. - His real name is, er, Petroff?

0:41:29 > 0:41:31It was, before he became a resident here.

0:41:31 > 0:41:35Now let me put this simply, Miss Peters, your father's had

0:41:35 > 0:41:38dealings with the Soviet Trade Delegation as part of his work.

0:41:38 > 0:41:42Has he? I don't know much about my father's work.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Well I'm telling you that for a fact, Miss Peters.

0:41:45 > 0:41:48And anybody who has dealings with the Soviet Trade Delegation

0:41:48 > 0:41:51whose conduct comes under suspicion, can be

0:41:51 > 0:41:54summarily deported under the Undesirable Aliens Act.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57The Home Office have those powers.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00If Mr Petroff's daughter was suspected of helping a fugitive

0:42:00 > 0:42:03escape from justice, well then that would be a case for deportation.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05So you're threatening my father, Mr Horton?

0:42:05 > 0:42:10No, no, no, I'm just explaining to you what will happen

0:42:10 > 0:42:17if you don't tell me what you know, what I can see you must know,

0:42:17 > 0:42:20and what a talented photographer you are,

0:42:20 > 0:42:25and what a future you ought to have in the professional world.

0:42:25 > 0:42:28My father can't go back to Russia!

0:42:28 > 0:42:30No, I understand that.

0:42:31 > 0:42:34And I know that you won't want to be the reason that that happens.

0:42:34 > 0:42:39So you tell me what you know, where Mr Lester is.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42Or would you rather talk over the matter with your father first?

0:42:42 > 0:42:44Talk over the dilemma with him?

0:42:44 > 0:42:49Although I'm not sure it's that much of a dilemma for you, Miss Peters.

0:42:49 > 0:42:53Now you're sensible enough to put your own future,

0:42:53 > 0:42:56and your father's future first.

0:43:08 > 0:43:13HAUNTING SONG PLAYS

0:43:17 > 0:43:20- Mr Luscombe!- Hello, you two.

0:43:22 > 0:43:25We're staying with Uncle Arthur! Are you on a surprise visit?

0:43:25 > 0:43:28I am on a surprise visit, yes.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30Why? Why is it a surprise?

0:43:30 > 0:43:34Because I like surprising people, and I like this garden very much.

0:43:34 > 0:43:37Let's explore it together, shall we?

0:43:40 > 0:43:44One of the best days of my life was spent in this garden.

0:43:44 > 0:43:49I like this area particularly. Is Uncle Arthur in the house?

0:43:49 > 0:43:53- He is, yes.- Well let's not call him just yet, shall we?

0:43:53 > 0:43:56- No, we won't. - What's in the box?

0:43:56 > 0:43:57Is it a present for Uncle Arthur?

0:43:57 > 0:44:01You can look inside if you want.

0:44:03 > 0:44:05Is it a real gun?

0:44:05 > 0:44:09Yes, you can hold it if you like.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14Why have you brought it with you, Mr Luscombe?

0:44:14 > 0:44:17Well, I just thought I'd go for a walk with it,

0:44:17 > 0:44:21see if there was anything I wanted to shoot, like a really fat

0:44:21 > 0:44:26pigeon, or a revolting, mangy dog, or a particularly hideous man.

0:44:26 > 0:44:29You wouldn't do that would you?

0:44:29 > 0:44:31Shoot a dog or an ugly man?

0:44:33 > 0:44:35No, probably not.

0:44:38 > 0:44:42It would be better if one waited

0:44:42 > 0:44:46until one saw somebody far more important.

0:44:46 > 0:44:50Uncle Arthur! Uncle Arthur! Look who's here!

0:44:52 > 0:44:56Julian, my dear fellow! To what do I owe this honour?

0:45:07 > 0:45:10- Everything is satisfactory? - Oh, absolutely.

0:45:10 > 0:45:13Your daughter has been extremely helpful,

0:45:13 > 0:45:16she has given us a lead to follow up.

0:45:16 > 0:45:20I knew she would give you any information she had.

0:45:20 > 0:45:26She's a good girl. She saw a little of that man, but only very little, you understand?

0:45:26 > 0:45:27She told me that, yes.

0:45:30 > 0:45:33Stanley, they're upstairs, if it was your idea they're here.

0:45:33 > 0:45:35It wasn't my idea, Deirdre.

0:45:35 > 0:45:37It wasn't a good plan, not a good plan at all!

0:45:37 > 0:45:40- I can't have him here, I just can't.- Yes! All right!

0:45:51 > 0:45:53The gentleman was very kind, he offered to play

0:45:53 > 0:45:58so I could watch more easily and it really was a help, wasn't it, girls?

0:45:58 > 0:46:01And he's quite a good player, I have to say.

0:46:01 > 0:46:05From the top, one, two, three, four.

0:46:06 > 0:46:10FROM OUTSIDE: Police! Open this door!

0:46:10 > 0:46:13- You took your time.- You've got to go now!- What? Go where?

0:46:13 > 0:46:16You've got to get out! You can't be found in the building!

0:46:16 > 0:46:17- Deirdre!- The police are here!

0:46:17 > 0:46:20They're downstairs in my office, going through my things.

0:46:20 > 0:46:23- The police are here? - They absolutely didn't follow us.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25- You can't go through the club. - One of you in here.

0:46:27 > 0:46:30- There must be a way out this way, another flight of stairs? - There's no way.

0:46:30 > 0:46:33- No other way out to the street? - There has to be another way out. - There isn't!

0:46:33 > 0:46:36Everybody from up here has to go through the club.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41There must be a cellar. Can we reach it this way?

0:46:41 > 0:46:45- Can we use the cellar? - The cellar?! We'll be trapped.

0:46:45 > 0:46:47- Get down there, come on. - I know nothing about this,

0:46:47 > 0:46:51if they ask me to show them the cellar - I'll not refuse!

0:46:54 > 0:46:55I think I'd better come too.

0:46:55 > 0:46:58- I don't know how I'd explain why I'm here.- Oh, Pamela!

0:47:01 > 0:47:03I'll stay out here and speak to them,

0:47:03 > 0:47:06they don't really know me, maybe I can lie.

0:47:11 > 0:47:16It's the immigration authorities that are here, you know how

0:47:33 > 0:47:37All right, have you seen a negro in this building?

0:47:39 > 0:47:42Was there a negro here? A negro musician?

0:47:42 > 0:47:44GIRL STARTS SOBBING

0:47:44 > 0:47:47I'm afraid you've made her cry.

0:47:49 > 0:47:52It's rather horrible being down here.

0:47:52 > 0:47:54What on earth are you doing here, Pamela?

0:47:54 > 0:47:59Why do people keep asking me that? Why shouldn't I be here?

0:47:59 > 0:48:00Why shouldn't I help?

0:48:04 > 0:48:07When they've gone, I'm going to get the band to come here.

0:48:07 > 0:48:08So you've had the same idea I've had?

0:48:08 > 0:48:11I don't know what idea you've had, but I know what I'm going to do.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13- Hide yourself in the band? - In the band?! Don't be silly.

0:48:13 > 0:48:15But where can the band go?

0:48:15 > 0:48:18I don't know, I've no idea.

0:48:18 > 0:48:19Shhhh.

0:48:19 > 0:48:22FOOTSTEPS AND CONVERSATION

0:48:22 > 0:48:25If they find us now...

0:48:25 > 0:48:29- Then even you won't be able to talk your way out of it. - You'll need a lawyer very quickly.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32It's too late for lawyers, I'm not sure they'd ever have helped me.

0:48:32 > 0:48:36- I should've gone straight to the station, Stanley, like I said. - We'll never know that!

0:48:36 > 0:48:38Maybe you wanted to hold on to your story, take me to where

0:48:38 > 0:48:41you thought was a safe location and get the scoop nobody else has got.

0:48:41 > 0:48:43You really think I meant that!

0:48:43 > 0:48:45I can't believe you think that's what I'd do!

0:48:45 > 0:48:47I think it's a part of it, maybe not the main part.

0:48:47 > 0:48:50But a little part of it.

0:48:50 > 0:48:51Oh, God.

0:48:51 > 0:48:55FLOORBOARDS CREAK

0:48:55 > 0:48:56Here they are.

0:48:59 > 0:49:01I think they've gone!

0:49:01 > 0:49:04I'll make sure, you'd better stay here a moment longer.

0:49:05 > 0:49:08KNOCK ON THE DOOR Come in.

0:49:10 > 0:49:12- Your Ladyship?- Thank you, Harry.

0:49:12 > 0:49:15I wondered if you could find me someone to come and do my packing,

0:49:15 > 0:49:18my maid's gone out for the afternoon because I thought I was leaving

0:49:18 > 0:49:21tomorrow, but now I've decided to leave at once, by tonight.

0:49:21 > 0:49:23Yes, of course, I'll send somebody up immediately.

0:49:23 > 0:49:27- Good.- So many people are doing this today, leaving the sinking ship!

0:49:27 > 0:49:31- So I gather.- It was a terrible thing having that band here, to have them

0:49:31 > 0:49:35actually staying in this hotel. And look where it's led to.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37Well I'm sure you'll survive, Harry.

0:49:37 > 0:49:40Oh don't worry about me. I've all sorts of plans.

0:49:40 > 0:49:44And this should help find him, shouldn't it? Such a big reward!

0:49:44 > 0:49:49Indeed yes, a very big reward. Surprisingly big.

0:49:49 > 0:49:51Very public-spirited of Mr Masterson.

0:49:51 > 0:49:55Yes, it must be, mustn't it? What other reason could there be?

0:49:55 > 0:49:57What do you mean, he isn't there?

0:49:57 > 0:50:00Julian is not currently here, I thought he was with you.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02No, he is not with me. I was about to come round in my car,

0:50:02 > 0:50:06so that we could have a meal before we go to the airport.

0:50:06 > 0:50:09Well, I'm sure he won't be long, he knows he mustn't keep you waiting.

0:50:09 > 0:50:12- You've no idea where he is? - I'm sorry, I don't.

0:50:12 > 0:50:17We've already said goodbye, so I wasn't, um, really looking...

0:50:17 > 0:50:22Will you ask him to telephone me at once, the moment he comes in?

0:50:22 > 0:50:25I'm about to return to the Imperial Hotel, he can find me there.

0:50:30 > 0:50:32Come here, please.

0:50:36 > 0:50:39You and I appear to be the only ones left here, Miss Williams.

0:50:39 > 0:50:43- Yes, sir.- You know why that is? - I don't, sir, no.

0:50:45 > 0:50:50You see that? This is coverage of the assassination attempt of the American president.

0:50:50 > 0:50:53What a terrible little picture that is, don't you agree?

0:50:53 > 0:50:56- Yes, sir.- If my news magazine full of photo journalism would have

0:50:56 > 0:51:00been on the streets already, we could have done a great job

0:51:00 > 0:51:04covering a major story, with dramatic pictures, couldn't we?

0:51:04 > 0:51:08- Yes, sir.- You see I'm not just playing at this, Miss Williams.

0:51:08 > 0:51:10I really do have a vision.

0:51:11 > 0:51:13I can see that, sir, yes.

0:51:13 > 0:51:17But it is important that things in my life work to schedule.

0:51:17 > 0:51:20The one thing I don't allow is changing my travel plans.

0:51:20 > 0:51:27Mr Luscombe and I will be taking off tonight at 8:30, as arranged,

0:51:27 > 0:51:30- without fail.- Yes, sir.

0:51:30 > 0:51:34How wonderful to drink in the middle of the afternoon.

0:51:34 > 0:51:38I have to say, I don't like rules about when I'm allowed to drink,

0:51:38 > 0:51:42- or indeed when I'm allowed to do anything.- Quite right.

0:51:42 > 0:51:44Couldn't agree more. What a perfect room this is.

0:51:44 > 0:51:49You have such a wonderful life, don't you, Arthur?

0:51:49 > 0:51:50So few worries and problems.

0:51:50 > 0:51:53Every day I wake up and think how fortunate I am

0:51:53 > 0:51:55compared to so many others.

0:51:55 > 0:51:57Can I stay here, Arthur?

0:51:57 > 0:52:02Just for a few days, hide inside your wonderful life?

0:52:02 > 0:52:06- But you're going away, Julian. - Well, you know what Walter's like!

0:52:06 > 0:52:07He makes plans for everybody,

0:52:07 > 0:52:11and sometimes you just have to find a way of saying no.

0:52:11 > 0:52:14Just for a few days? You'll let me stay?

0:52:16 > 0:52:21- Please. - I will. If that's what you want.

0:52:21 > 0:52:24And you won't tell anybody where I am?

0:52:24 > 0:52:26Promise me, Arthur.

0:52:26 > 0:52:29- You won't tell?- I won't, no.

0:52:37 > 0:52:40I've just come for my last wages, I think I'm owed a week.

0:52:40 > 0:52:44Ah, um, I can't help, I'm afraid,

0:52:44 > 0:52:47- that's all been taken out of my hands.- What?

0:52:47 > 0:52:52There's a phone call for you, Carla. You can take it at the desk.

0:52:52 > 0:52:54Nathan, a word, if I may.

0:52:54 > 0:52:57So, all the musicians are going are they? Good...

0:52:59 > 0:53:02Hello, who's there?

0:53:03 > 0:53:05- 'Hello Carla.'- Louis!

0:53:10 > 0:53:13Did you tell them to bring their passports? Did you remember that?

0:53:13 > 0:53:17I told Carla, yes, to get them all to do that, and they will.

0:53:17 > 0:53:20< ..I will, good night.

0:53:20 > 0:53:24That's the last one gone, but I know the police will be back soon.

0:53:24 > 0:53:26- I want you out! - Just give us half an hour.

0:53:26 > 0:53:28Half an hour? You won't keep to that!

0:54:00 > 0:54:01My brother's not at home.

0:54:12 > 0:54:14He will be all right, won't he?

0:54:16 > 0:54:19Looking for your band underneath all that?

0:54:19 > 0:54:22I am. Our first poster might still be here,

0:54:22 > 0:54:24they seem to keep everything.

0:54:24 > 0:54:26You lied, of course, that first time.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28You keep saying that, I didn't lie!

0:54:28 > 0:54:31Yes, you came in here, having missed the whole thing,

0:54:31 > 0:54:34and lied your head off about how good we were.

0:54:34 > 0:54:37For God's sake, I didn't lie! I'd heard enough.

0:54:37 > 0:54:39It was enough to set you on your way, wasn't it?

0:54:39 > 0:54:44- And look where it's led. - You don't know where it's led yet.

0:54:44 > 0:54:49'My darling brother, when you get this you will already

0:54:49 > 0:54:51'be in New York,

0:54:51 > 0:54:54'no doubt having bought your splendid new shoes

0:54:54 > 0:54:57'and maybe talking with a little bit of an American accent,

0:54:57 > 0:54:59'although after only a few days that would be quick.'

0:55:06 > 0:55:09Every time we got more success, I told myself

0:55:09 > 0:55:13it's not going to last, they're going to move on,

0:55:13 > 0:55:16they're going to find something else

0:55:16 > 0:55:18they think is more...exciting,

0:55:18 > 0:55:20and that's going to be OK,

0:55:20 > 0:55:26because we'll still be able to make a living, and I was ready for that.

0:55:28 > 0:55:32But I never thought, that I'd...

0:55:32 > 0:55:35That you'd be up for murder? Well, naturally you didn't.

0:55:37 > 0:55:39Just because we didn't see it coming,

0:55:39 > 0:55:42- doesn't mean it was inevitable. - That they'd hang me?

0:55:42 > 0:55:43Don't you lose control, Louis!

0:55:43 > 0:55:47Used to drive me mad how in control you were, but right now it would be really useful.

0:55:47 > 0:55:49That's easy for you to say.

0:55:49 > 0:55:53Think I'm just here for the ride? Do the interview.

0:55:53 > 0:55:56'I just thought I'd put down a few thoughts about you working with

0:55:56 > 0:56:00'Mr Masterson and how exciting it could prove to be for you, and also

0:56:00 > 0:56:04'how much fun, because we all know how many parties he likes to hold.

0:56:04 > 0:56:06'I can just imagine you dancing at the top

0:56:06 > 0:56:09'of The Empire State Building and keeping half of Manhattan awake.

0:56:09 > 0:56:13'Just try to listen carefully to what he says and to feed him

0:56:13 > 0:56:16'plenty of cheese, of course.

0:56:16 > 0:56:21'I know it's going to be a gloriously successful time for you.

0:56:21 > 0:56:23'If only you can apply yourself.

0:56:24 > 0:56:26'And remember to get up in the morning,

0:56:26 > 0:56:29'because I won't be there to badger you.'

0:56:31 > 0:56:32THUNDER

0:56:32 > 0:56:35Blimey, do you remember the rain here?

0:56:36 > 0:56:38It was like the end of the world!

0:56:40 > 0:56:45- Of course.- You weren't here for the hailstorm,

0:56:45 > 0:56:47that was incredible!

0:56:47 > 0:56:52REPEATED KNOCKING ON THE DOOR

0:56:53 > 0:56:57All right, I'm coming. I'm coming.

0:57:23 > 0:57:24Shhh.

0:57:28 > 0:57:29What are you writing?

0:57:29 > 0:57:34I'm writing a letter to explain to Walter why I will not be

0:57:34 > 0:57:39going to America with him, but hiding away here with you, instead.

0:57:40 > 0:57:42Of course, I'm not going to send it just yet.

0:57:42 > 0:57:44Because then he might know where you are!

0:57:44 > 0:57:47- Exactly, and nobody's going to know that.- I like that...

0:57:47 > 0:57:52..the idea of hiding away from all trouble.

0:57:56 > 0:57:59Sometimes when I walk out into this garden,

0:57:59 > 0:58:02I think I can just shut the door and live here.

0:58:02 > 0:58:04I've got everything I need, food,

0:58:04 > 0:58:07the occasional delightful companion would come in through

0:58:07 > 0:58:11the little door in the wall, but I'd never need to go out again,

0:58:11 > 0:58:14or be bothered by what's happening on the other side of the wall.

0:58:16 > 0:58:18So, Louis will tell you what we have in mind,

0:58:18 > 0:58:21and then I'm going to go into a little bit more detail.

0:58:21 > 0:58:23I am locking up in ten minutes.

0:58:23 > 0:58:25Goodness knows I've allowed you to stay so long,

0:58:25 > 0:58:28- but I am now locking up. - Thank you, Deirdre.

0:58:28 > 0:58:31We're going to get a train, we're going to say that Carla

0:58:31 > 0:58:34and the rest of you are going to play in Paris,

0:58:34 > 0:58:36there's no more work at the Imperial and you're going there,

0:58:36 > 0:58:40and I'll be the one carrying most of the luggage.

0:58:40 > 0:58:44If I carry the luggage, they'll see a servant, not a bandleader.

0:58:44 > 0:58:46When we get to Calais, I'll disappear,

0:58:46 > 0:58:48get a ship somewhere, as a merchant seaman.

0:58:48 > 0:58:50Which is what it says on your passport.

0:58:50 > 0:58:53I know it sounds desperate, but it might just work.

0:58:53 > 0:58:55Any man of colour trying to get on a train by himself

0:58:55 > 0:58:58is going to be questioned very closely at the moment.

0:58:58 > 0:58:59That's why I can't do it on my own.

0:58:59 > 0:59:02You'll never all manage to get on the boat-train at Victoria,

0:59:02 > 0:59:04they'll stop you.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06This is true, but I have a route. The train stops at Bromley,

0:59:06 > 0:59:09or South Bromley to be exact, if we use a suburban station,

0:59:09 > 0:59:12there will be fewer police, and no press hanging around.

0:59:12 > 0:59:15Except for me, I will travel with you to cover the concert,

0:59:15 > 0:59:17I've picked up my passport especially.

0:59:17 > 0:59:19Won't that draw attention? You being there?

0:59:19 > 0:59:21No, no, we have to make it look like it's a real booking

0:59:21 > 0:59:23as we go through customs, like Carla's

0:59:23 > 0:59:25about to make her Paris debut.

0:59:25 > 0:59:30- Yes, Carla?- There's a problem, Louis.- Yes?- I don't have a passport.

0:59:30 > 0:59:34- What?- I don't have a passport. I've never been out of the country.

0:59:34 > 0:59:36KNOCK ON THE DOOR

0:59:38 > 0:59:42- Lavinia?- Walter, I apologise for the intrusion,

0:59:42 > 0:59:44but I just wanted to ask you something.

0:59:44 > 0:59:47I'm a little busy as you can see, we're leaving very shortly,

0:59:47 > 0:59:51the flight leaves at 8:30, so I hope you'll forgive me,

0:59:51 > 0:59:54- if I continue doing this. - Of course, Walter.

0:59:54 > 0:59:57I just wanted to ask you why you've gone to the newspapers

0:59:57 > 1:00:00and offered a reward for Louis Lester's arrest?

1:00:00 > 1:00:02I've always done my own packing.

1:00:03 > 1:00:06One of the little habits I've retained from my youth.

1:00:06 > 1:00:09I like to know exactly where the things that matter to me are.

1:00:09 > 1:00:13I offered the reward so that he would be apprehended quickly,

1:00:13 > 1:00:14why else?

1:00:14 > 1:00:17He let us down, did he not?

1:00:17 > 1:00:18After we encouraged him so much,

1:00:18 > 1:00:22in many places he would never have been able to mix in the way he did.

1:00:22 > 1:00:26- It turned out disastrously for him. - It did not turn out well, no.

1:00:26 > 1:00:28And what about Julian?

1:00:28 > 1:00:30Julian? Yes, I keep ringing him.

1:00:30 > 1:00:32Do you?

1:00:32 > 1:00:33Yes, I don't know where he is.

1:00:33 > 1:00:36He's not at his home. His sister rang here just now,

1:00:36 > 1:00:38she doesn't know where he is, either.

1:00:38 > 1:00:39Do you know where he is?

1:00:39 > 1:00:41I don't, Walter, no.

1:00:41 > 1:00:43I need to find him in the next half hour.

1:00:45 > 1:00:46I'm sure I will.

1:00:46 > 1:00:49You're very fond of Julian, aren't you?

1:00:49 > 1:00:51I think he shows great promise, yes.

1:00:51 > 1:00:54Well, that's not what I meant, Walter.

1:00:54 > 1:00:56Then you'll have to tell me what you mean, Lavinia.

1:00:56 > 1:00:59Well, you have...

1:00:59 > 1:01:01strong feelings for him.

1:01:01 > 1:01:04You care about him deeply.

1:01:07 > 1:01:09I don't have a son.

1:01:09 > 1:01:14I come to this country and I find a boy who is so full of life...

1:01:15 > 1:01:17..and who is not afraid.

1:01:17 > 1:01:22So many people are afraid of me, but he is not.

1:01:22 > 1:01:25So I find this young man

1:01:25 > 1:01:28who is like a son to me,

1:01:28 > 1:01:30as maybe you have with Stanley Mitchell.

1:01:34 > 1:01:36You have a very powerful affection for Julian.

1:01:39 > 1:01:41It's the small objects

1:01:41 > 1:01:45which are most difficult to find

1:01:45 > 1:01:49if anybody else packs my luggage.

1:01:49 > 1:01:51What are you trying to say to me, Lavinia?

1:01:51 > 1:01:54Because I'm afraid you're going to have to say it more clearly.

1:01:54 > 1:01:57That your love for Julian could have led you to want to protect him

1:01:57 > 1:01:59at all costs.

1:01:59 > 1:02:04I would like to think it's natural to protect the ones we care for.

1:02:04 > 1:02:07It's not always possible, of course.

1:02:07 > 1:02:11Walter, is there something you can do for Louis Lester,

1:02:11 > 1:02:12even at this late stage?

1:02:12 > 1:02:15I can't imagine what that would be.

1:02:15 > 1:02:16PHONE RINGS

1:02:16 > 1:02:18Mr Masterson's suite...

1:02:18 > 1:02:19Could that be... Could that be him?

1:02:21 > 1:02:23A call, sir.

1:02:28 > 1:02:30Yes?

1:02:30 > 1:02:33Yes, thank you. No, immediately.

1:02:35 > 1:02:39Yes, absolutely immediately, thank you.

1:02:39 > 1:02:40They've found him!

1:02:40 > 1:02:42You told him where I was?!

1:02:42 > 1:02:45- Yes.- Why?! You said you wouldn't do that!

1:02:45 > 1:02:47I thought I had to, Julian.

1:02:47 > 1:02:49He's been so generous to you.

1:02:49 > 1:02:52If you really don't want that, then you need to tell him yourself.

1:02:55 > 1:02:56Quite right.

1:02:56 > 1:02:58Forgive me, Arthur.

1:03:00 > 1:03:03Please, ring him back immediately.

1:03:04 > 1:03:07I was behaving like a spoilt child,

1:03:07 > 1:03:10don't either of you ever do that.

1:03:10 > 1:03:13- DONALDSON:- Can you put me through to the Masterson suite?

1:03:13 > 1:03:15Thank you.

1:03:17 > 1:03:20Walter, there you are.

1:03:20 > 1:03:21'Julian?'

1:03:21 > 1:03:25Yes, I went missing,

1:03:25 > 1:03:26but I'm back now.

1:03:27 > 1:03:29Without the smell of cigar smoke,

1:03:29 > 1:03:31you don't recognise the place, do you?

1:03:31 > 1:03:33The last days of a hotel are always horrible.

1:03:33 > 1:03:36People suddenly treat you with contempt,

1:03:36 > 1:03:38say things they would never have said before.

1:03:38 > 1:03:39We must look to the future, Nathan.

1:03:39 > 1:03:43For a start, maybe we could find Louis Lester and get some of that money.

1:03:43 > 1:03:45How would we do that, Harry?

1:03:45 > 1:03:47Just by thinking clearly.

1:03:47 > 1:03:49Where was it Stanley first found the band?

1:03:49 > 1:03:51What club were they playing at when he saw them?

1:03:51 > 1:03:53What was it called, Nathan?

1:03:53 > 1:03:54I can't remember.

1:03:54 > 1:03:56Are you sure about that, Nathan?

1:03:57 > 1:03:59As it happens,

1:03:59 > 1:04:01I think I remember myself.

1:04:01 > 1:04:03Let's see if I'm right.

1:04:07 > 1:04:09It's time to go, Eric, please!

1:04:09 > 1:04:11A few minutes yet, it has to be completely dark.

1:04:11 > 1:04:15It is dark, Eric. If we stay any longer, we'll run out of luck.

1:04:15 > 1:04:18I'm locking the front door in precisely four minutes.

1:04:21 > 1:04:23Pamela.

1:04:24 > 1:04:26Excuse me.

1:04:31 > 1:04:34- Go home, Pamela. - Why do you want me to go?

1:04:34 > 1:04:36I don't want you to go, you've done a lot

1:04:36 > 1:04:38but you should be at home, your brother's leaving.

1:04:40 > 1:04:42Why aren't you at home with him?

1:04:42 > 1:04:44I should be there, you're right,

1:04:44 > 1:04:46but I'm not going to be.

1:04:46 > 1:04:47Why?

1:04:47 > 1:04:49Because I will be needed tonight.

1:04:49 > 1:04:50How will you be needed?

1:04:50 > 1:04:54Well, first of all, for this, probably.

1:04:58 > 1:05:01Somebody has to pay for all the first class tickets.

1:05:01 > 1:05:04I like the boldness of us all travelling first class.

1:05:04 > 1:05:05I brought this money for Louis.

1:05:05 > 1:05:07Well, give him the money and then leave.

1:05:07 > 1:05:10No, because you're going to need me for something else,

1:05:10 > 1:05:13something that might happen on the train.

1:05:14 > 1:05:16I just have a feeling I might be useful.

1:05:16 > 1:05:19It's time, isn't it, Eric? It has to be.

1:05:19 > 1:05:20Yes, the transport's here.

1:05:20 > 1:05:23Everybody make sure you have your luggage with you, make

1:05:23 > 1:05:25straight for the vehicle, but don't run,

1:05:25 > 1:05:27don't rush, just walk normally.

1:05:27 > 1:05:30All right? Go.

1:05:30 > 1:05:32PHONE RINGS

1:05:32 > 1:05:34Yes.

1:05:35 > 1:05:38No, he can't speak at the moment.

1:05:39 > 1:05:41Louis?

1:05:41 > 1:05:43I didn't know what to do, it's...

1:05:43 > 1:05:44It's Sarah Peters.

1:05:47 > 1:05:50Louis! I've been trying and trying!

1:05:50 > 1:05:52This line has been engaged for ages.

1:05:52 > 1:05:55Sarah, I can't talk now.

1:05:55 > 1:05:57I so wanted to see you, but I couldn't come myself,

1:05:57 > 1:05:58I might have been followed.

1:05:58 > 1:06:01- The police came anyway. - 'But they didn't find you?'

1:06:01 > 1:06:02Of course they didn't!

1:06:02 > 1:06:04You knew they were coming, then?

1:06:04 > 1:06:06I couldn't stop them.

1:06:08 > 1:06:10I was weak, Louis.

1:06:10 > 1:06:15I couldn't find a way of not telling them.

1:06:15 > 1:06:17I'm so sorry.

1:06:17 > 1:06:21It's not completely how you think it was.

1:06:21 > 1:06:23I'm sure you think that about me,

1:06:23 > 1:06:25maybe you have to right now, but...

1:06:25 > 1:06:26'Sarah, I can't talk now.'

1:06:26 > 1:06:28There's a lot of people taking risks for me,

1:06:28 > 1:06:30I can't make them wait.

1:06:30 > 1:06:32But we can't say goodbye like this!

1:06:32 > 1:06:34We're going to have to, Sarah.

1:06:34 > 1:06:37I can't say something that makes everything all right.

1:06:37 > 1:06:39'I don't want you to, because'

1:06:39 > 1:06:41I know everything's not all right,

1:06:41 > 1:06:43so it wouldn't mean anything.

1:06:45 > 1:06:49I just don't want to say goodbye like this, Louis.

1:06:49 > 1:06:53It's not always possible to have the right sort of goodbyes, Sarah.

1:06:56 > 1:07:00SHE SOBS

1:07:05 > 1:07:07I hope you're not too late.

1:07:07 > 1:07:09Good luck, Louis.

1:07:17 > 1:07:20Louis, Louis! Come on, quick!

1:07:21 > 1:07:23We had to move the transport, we were too conspicuous here.

1:07:23 > 1:07:26My brother arranged this. Come on, get in!

1:07:26 > 1:07:28- Please, get in.- Pull the flaps down.

1:07:28 > 1:07:29Louis, where you been?

1:07:29 > 1:07:30Something happened.

1:07:41 > 1:07:43You have to act the star remember, Carla.

1:07:43 > 1:07:46When we get out, order the band around, boss Louis like a servant.

1:07:46 > 1:07:49Just when I've lost my job, I have to act the star.

1:07:49 > 1:07:51You think everyone you see must know.

1:07:51 > 1:07:53On the train, it has to really look like the band's going to Paris.

1:07:53 > 1:07:55Do it with confidence, people will believe you.

1:07:55 > 1:07:58Why shouldn't you have an engagement there and be taking a servant?

1:07:58 > 1:08:01Yes, I'll try.

1:08:02 > 1:08:05I'm so sorry everything had to change.

1:08:05 > 1:08:07Half a plan is better than no plan.

1:08:07 > 1:08:10We'll get the train to Dover, then we'll see what Louis can do.

1:08:10 > 1:08:12There's no passport controls before Dover.

1:08:12 > 1:08:14Why can't we try to drive all the way there?

1:08:14 > 1:08:15We will get stopped if we try to drive.

1:08:19 > 1:08:21Walter!

1:08:21 > 1:08:24I have all your luggage with me, I've taken care of everything.

1:08:24 > 1:08:26I want Arthur to come, as well.

1:08:26 > 1:08:28You'll come, won't you, Arthur?

1:08:28 > 1:08:30Help me say goodbye to the old country?

1:08:30 > 1:08:32Please!

1:08:32 > 1:08:34Come on, it's a warm night, you don't need your coat.

1:08:34 > 1:08:36Get the girls to bed, Mrs Courtney.

1:08:36 > 1:08:39CAR ENGINE STARTS

1:08:45 > 1:08:47- JULIAN:- Please let me choose where we're going to eat.

1:08:47 > 1:08:51I've decided already. I've booked a table at The Savoy,

1:08:51 > 1:08:53an early meal, before we drive to the airport.

1:08:53 > 1:08:56No, no, no, no, I... I have the perfect place in mind.

1:08:56 > 1:08:57Please let me choose.

1:09:03 > 1:09:05This is the perfect place, don't you think,

1:09:05 > 1:09:07in which to say goodbye to England?

1:09:07 > 1:09:09Good sausages,

1:09:09 > 1:09:11normal people, of course,

1:09:11 > 1:09:13milky tea.

1:09:13 > 1:09:15Don't you think it's exactly right?

1:09:15 > 1:09:17KNOCKING ON DOOR

1:09:18 > 1:09:22Oh, I thought I heard somebody.

1:09:22 > 1:09:25I was worried I was completely alone up here.

1:09:25 > 1:09:26No, no, I'm here.

1:09:26 > 1:09:28I thought you were leaving, Lavinia?

1:09:28 > 1:09:30Well, I was, but suddenly I felt I had to stay.

1:09:31 > 1:09:33I'm not sure why.

1:09:40 > 1:09:42TRAIN WHISTLES

1:09:52 > 1:09:56Go further down, keep going, you'll find your carriage.

1:09:56 > 1:09:57Find your carriage.

1:09:57 > 1:09:59- MAN:- Sambos...

1:09:59 > 1:10:01Carla, this is your carriage...

1:10:01 > 1:10:03- We need the tickets.- There you go.

1:10:03 > 1:10:05A nigger band in first class,

1:10:05 > 1:10:07the world's gone mad.

1:10:08 > 1:10:10Get that luggage on the train right away.

1:10:10 > 1:10:12- MAN:- Get a move on, go boy...

1:10:12 > 1:10:15I have to say goodbye, I have to take the transport back.

1:10:15 > 1:10:16Thank you very much.

1:10:16 > 1:10:17But, er, have a wonderful tour.

1:10:17 > 1:10:19- Thank you.- Wonderful concerts.

1:10:22 > 1:10:25Where are you all going, may I ask?

1:10:25 > 1:10:26Miss Carla is going to Paris.

1:10:26 > 1:10:29I'm going to Paris with my band,

1:10:29 > 1:10:31to play some special concerts.

1:10:31 > 1:10:32Is that enough for you?

1:10:32 > 1:10:35Yeah, they, er, like your sort of music in France, don't they?

1:10:35 > 1:10:37# Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo! #

1:10:37 > 1:10:38Bernard, will you close that door,

1:10:38 > 1:10:40we want some peace and quiet on this journey.

1:10:42 > 1:10:44WHISTLE BLOWS

1:10:46 > 1:10:48Why are we still here? Why aren't we going anywhere?

1:10:48 > 1:10:51- The train often waits here. - Waits for what?

1:10:51 > 1:10:52Maybe for them.

1:10:52 > 1:10:55- Oh, God, are they going to search the train?- Don't look at them.

1:10:55 > 1:10:57Please, come in.

1:10:57 > 1:11:00Yes, my servant has finished putting away our luggage.

1:11:00 > 1:11:02Please, stay where I can see you.

1:11:02 > 1:11:04I need you near me at all times,

1:11:04 > 1:11:06that's why you're in first class.

1:11:06 > 1:11:08I'll just be outside the door.

1:11:11 > 1:11:14WHISTLE BLOWS

1:11:14 > 1:11:18- MAN:- You are their servant, the servant?

1:11:18 > 1:11:20I bet they treat you worse than I would.

1:11:21 > 1:11:23Why don't you go back to your own kind?

1:11:23 > 1:11:26Join the rest of your jingo-jango boys back there.

1:11:26 > 1:11:28A nigger band in first class...

1:11:28 > 1:11:30TRAIN WHISTLES

1:11:32 > 1:11:34TRAIN WHISTLES

1:11:59 > 1:12:00Marvellous!

1:12:02 > 1:12:03But maybe, do you think,

1:12:03 > 1:12:06you could take them back and burn them a little?

1:12:06 > 1:12:07I just love burnt sausages.

1:12:07 > 1:12:09I'm not sure we have time for that.

1:12:09 > 1:12:11Oh, it doesn't take long to burn some sausages, Walter.

1:12:14 > 1:12:17Take the others back and burn them.

1:12:17 > 1:12:20You want your last meal you have for a while in this country...

1:12:20 > 1:12:22To be burnt sausages? Yes.

1:12:22 > 1:12:26- DONALDSON:- The sausages here are surprisingly edible.

1:12:26 > 1:12:28Arthur loves it here, don't you?

1:12:28 > 1:12:30Often brings his discoveries here.

1:12:30 > 1:12:31I have been known to, yes.

1:12:31 > 1:12:34Isn't it wonderful to be able to select a young person,

1:12:34 > 1:12:36and to give them a chance,

1:12:36 > 1:12:38transform their lives, just like that?

1:12:38 > 1:12:41That's what we both try to do.

1:12:41 > 1:12:42Of course.

1:12:42 > 1:12:44And you do it so well.

1:12:46 > 1:12:48I think maybe we should have more than just sausages here.

1:12:48 > 1:12:51I think we should try everything Arthur recommends.

1:12:51 > 1:12:53I told you, we don't have a lot of time.

1:12:53 > 1:12:56I don't believe you, Walter. It's your private plane, after all,

1:12:56 > 1:12:58and we know now what we can do with private planes.

1:12:58 > 1:13:01Get them to take you to France at very short notice,

1:13:01 > 1:13:03even in the middle of the night.

1:13:03 > 1:13:06And then get them to stamp your passport with all sorts of different times

1:13:06 > 1:13:09and stamps, when a little money changes hands.

1:13:09 > 1:13:13It's a terrible thing, isn't it, this world of passports and papers

1:13:13 > 1:13:14and officialdom? How I loathe it.

1:13:14 > 1:13:17Yes, but you two can do anything you want, can't you?

1:13:17 > 1:13:19Nothing really inconveniences you.

1:13:19 > 1:13:21After all, these people here,

1:13:21 > 1:13:23they might lose everything, just like that,

1:13:23 > 1:13:24tomorrow, in another crash.

1:13:24 > 1:13:27But you two will just float above it.

1:13:28 > 1:13:30Always able to float.

1:13:31 > 1:13:32Nothing can touch you.

1:13:34 > 1:13:38And me, too, of course - am I any different? No.

1:13:40 > 1:13:42I can float just as well as anybody else.

1:13:44 > 1:13:46Always come out on top.

1:13:49 > 1:13:52We sail through it all,

1:13:52 > 1:13:55the three of us, together.

1:13:58 > 1:14:00Excuse me.

1:14:02 > 1:14:04What is that, Julian? That box?

1:14:04 > 1:14:06Nothing that special.

1:14:11 > 1:14:13Tickets, please!

1:14:18 > 1:14:20Thank you.

1:14:21 > 1:14:25And we'll be stamping your passports too, please have them ready.

1:14:25 > 1:14:27Passports? Why do you need our passports?

1:14:27 > 1:14:30It's our new procedure, for first class passengers only,

1:14:30 > 1:14:32so they do not have to queue at Dover

1:14:32 > 1:14:34with the second and third class passengers.

1:14:34 > 1:14:37Why don't you start with him in the passage, we've got to find ours.

1:14:37 > 1:14:40Yes, he does have a first class ticket.

1:14:40 > 1:14:41Why don't you ask him?

1:14:41 > 1:14:44I like to keep my servants close.

1:14:48 > 1:14:50Merchant seaman, eh?

1:14:50 > 1:14:51Will you hurry up?

1:14:51 > 1:14:53We need him to help us find our passports. He packed them

1:14:53 > 1:14:56away in our luggage, and now he has to show us where he put them.

1:14:57 > 1:15:00Of course. Carrying their luggage is a lot easier than

1:15:00 > 1:15:01working on ships, isn't it?

1:15:03 > 1:15:06I think, on reflection, the rest of us

1:15:06 > 1:15:09will have to queue with all the other people.

1:15:09 > 1:15:12It is regrettable, but we don't want to keep you waiting

1:15:12 > 1:15:14while he snuffles through our luggage.

1:15:14 > 1:15:16Please, carry on.

1:15:16 > 1:15:18You should have advertised your new service more clearly,

1:15:18 > 1:15:20then we would have been prepared.

1:15:22 > 1:15:25Have your passports ready, please! Passports ready, thank you.

1:15:28 > 1:15:30You were right, you were needed.

1:15:30 > 1:15:32Yes.

1:15:34 > 1:15:35I hate trains.

1:15:44 > 1:15:47WATER RUNS

1:15:59 > 1:16:00Excuse me?

1:16:02 > 1:16:04Will you keep this for a moment?

1:16:04 > 1:16:05It's very private.

1:16:05 > 1:16:08Don't let anybody have it until I tell you,

1:16:08 > 1:16:09do you understand?

1:16:09 > 1:16:12Please, just for a moment.

1:16:13 > 1:16:16You mean, keep it until you leave the restaurant, sir?

1:16:16 > 1:16:18That's right.

1:16:18 > 1:16:21It explains a few things, why I think it happened.

1:16:21 > 1:16:24How she looked at me,

1:16:24 > 1:16:27how I wanted to love her so much,

1:16:27 > 1:16:29how she fought me when I tried to show my love.

1:16:29 > 1:16:32Keep it till you hear from me.

1:16:33 > 1:16:35Thank you.

1:16:44 > 1:16:46How many do you think I should get?

1:16:50 > 1:16:51I'll take these two first...

1:16:53 > 1:16:54..then the rest.

1:16:58 > 1:16:59WOMAN GASPS

1:16:59 > 1:17:01You're right, I shouldn't do it.

1:17:01 > 1:17:03I'll leave it to someone else to do.

1:17:04 > 1:17:05This is much better.

1:17:07 > 1:17:09METALLIC CLICK

1:17:09 > 1:17:11SHOT FIRES

1:17:11 > 1:17:14PEOPLE SCREAM

1:17:19 > 1:17:22- Walter, you must go. - They boy.- Walter...- The boy...

1:17:22 > 1:17:24Don't look!

1:17:24 > 1:17:26I will take care of this, you must leave.

1:17:26 > 1:17:28The boy...

1:17:30 > 1:17:32The boy.

1:17:33 > 1:17:37He was such a difficult boy.

1:17:39 > 1:17:43What have you done, my difficult boy?

1:17:46 > 1:17:49You must go. Walter, Walter...

1:17:49 > 1:17:51What have I done?

1:17:52 > 1:17:57Go now, please, please.

1:17:59 > 1:18:00Go now.

1:18:10 > 1:18:11Has someone called for the police?

1:18:11 > 1:18:15WOMAN CRIES

1:18:18 > 1:18:20However terrible things are...

1:18:22 > 1:18:24..they pass.

1:18:25 > 1:18:27This will pass.

1:18:49 > 1:18:51Where are we?

1:18:51 > 1:18:53Folkestone.

1:18:53 > 1:18:54One stop from Dover.

1:18:54 > 1:18:56Bernard, can you come in here?

1:19:01 > 1:19:03Maybe...

1:19:04 > 1:19:07Oh, yes, I forgot, we're all getting off here.

1:19:11 > 1:19:13We're being met here, Miss Carla.

1:19:13 > 1:19:15Thank you.

1:19:15 > 1:19:19Out! We're getting off here, we're being met here by a car.

1:19:19 > 1:19:22- MAN:- They're getting off. - MAN:- Good, thank God for that.

1:19:22 > 1:19:24- MAN:- That's cleared the air a bit, bye!

1:19:24 > 1:19:26How can we say goodbye with these bastards watching?

1:19:26 > 1:19:28We can't.

1:19:29 > 1:19:31She's right, we can't. Just walk off now.

1:19:31 > 1:19:33Thank you.

1:19:33 > 1:19:37Travelling first class was not too bad.

1:19:37 > 1:19:39Pity about the company one has to keep, though, eh?

1:19:41 > 1:19:44You must go and check if the car's arrived. Be careful.

1:19:44 > 1:19:45Don't worry about me.

1:19:48 > 1:19:50I never did get that full interview.

1:19:50 > 1:19:52Don't rush.

1:19:52 > 1:19:54I never do.

1:20:02 > 1:20:03- CARLA:- What a journey!

1:20:03 > 1:20:05Maybe it'll work.

1:20:20 > 1:20:23I'm just going to telephone home,

1:20:23 > 1:20:25make sure Julian's left for the airport.

1:20:25 > 1:20:27He should be about to get on his aeroplane.

1:20:42 > 1:20:44TRAIN WHISTLES

1:20:47 > 1:20:50MEN LAUGH

1:20:51 > 1:20:53They're all gone.

1:20:54 > 1:20:56We can celebrate.

1:20:56 > 1:20:59Hopefully. You played the part of the star very well.

1:20:59 > 1:21:01I think so, yes.

1:21:03 > 1:21:05I'm just going to make sure...

1:21:14 > 1:21:16SHE PUTS DOWN PHONE

1:21:18 > 1:21:20Julian is dead.

1:21:20 > 1:21:21What?!

1:21:21 > 1:21:23He shot himself.

1:21:23 > 1:21:25SHE SOBS

1:21:25 > 1:21:26Oh, my God.

1:21:28 > 1:21:31What have I done, Stanley?

1:21:33 > 1:21:34What have I done?

1:21:37 > 1:21:41Why wasn't I there for him?!

1:21:45 > 1:21:47I should have been there.

1:21:47 > 1:21:49You had to be here.

1:21:49 > 1:21:52You chose to be here, and that was very brave.

1:21:52 > 1:21:54SHE SOBS

1:21:56 > 1:21:58I love you.

1:22:02 > 1:22:06It was so difficult, I know, but it was very brave.

1:22:06 > 1:22:08SHE WEEPS

1:22:08 > 1:22:09I love you.

1:22:33 > 1:22:36Miss Peters, what can I do for you?

1:22:36 > 1:22:38You can just stand there.

1:22:40 > 1:22:43I have a new high-speed camera

1:22:43 > 1:22:45which can take pictures very quickly

1:22:45 > 1:22:49of people who don't always want to be photographed.

1:22:49 > 1:22:52Excuse me, but I'm a trifle busy right now.

1:22:52 > 1:22:55People who prefer to live in the shadows,

1:22:55 > 1:22:56such as you, Harry!

1:22:58 > 1:23:01Now I can catch them with this...

1:23:03 > 1:23:06SHUTTER CLICKS

1:23:06 > 1:23:08And shall I tell you something else, Harry?

1:23:08 > 1:23:10I'm going to try to find him.

1:23:11 > 1:23:13I'm going to find Louis.

1:23:13 > 1:23:14SHUTTER CLICKS

1:23:18 > 1:23:21Don't expect it to sell thousands and thousands of copies, Stanley.

1:23:21 > 1:23:23Why not?

1:23:23 > 1:23:25You don't think people want to hear the truth?

1:23:25 > 1:23:27Not as much as when Louis was the culprit.

1:23:27 > 1:23:31The other papers reported on it in a very small way, didn't they?

1:23:31 > 1:23:34In a few months, I doubt anybody will remember

1:23:34 > 1:23:36the Jessie Taylor case that clearly.

1:23:36 > 1:23:38It'll slip away, bit by bit.

1:23:38 > 1:23:40Well, I hope you're wrong.

1:23:42 > 1:23:44But you're probably not.

1:23:46 > 1:23:48Of course, we don't have Louis' side of the story.

1:23:48 > 1:23:50I still haven't heard from him.

1:23:50 > 1:23:51Perhaps we never will.

1:23:53 > 1:23:55Do you think she knew about her brother?

1:23:58 > 1:23:59I don't know.

1:24:02 > 1:24:03In a way, maybe.

1:24:05 > 1:24:06Deep down.

1:24:09 > 1:24:10I thought you'd like to know,

1:24:10 > 1:24:13I've been dealing with some colleagues of Mr Masterson,

1:24:13 > 1:24:16and I've held on to the magazine. He doesn't want it any more.

1:24:16 > 1:24:19That's good news, isn't it?

1:24:19 > 1:24:22But, of course, I may have to make some changes.

1:24:47 > 1:24:49Well, aren't you surprised?

1:24:49 > 1:24:51For once, I am early.

1:24:51 > 1:24:53And I'm never on time.

1:24:54 > 1:24:57You should know that by now. Stanley,

1:24:57 > 1:24:58Some things never change.

1:25:09 > 1:25:11I haven't been out for a very long time.

1:25:15 > 1:25:17It's strange being back, isn't it?

1:25:19 > 1:25:21Yes, it is.

1:25:21 > 1:25:22Very strange.

1:25:30 > 1:25:32SCHLESINGER COUGHS What does he want?

1:25:32 > 1:25:33Stanley?

1:25:33 > 1:25:36I'll be back in a minute, my darling.

1:25:40 > 1:25:42There's a telephone call for you.

1:25:42 > 1:25:44Thank you, Nathan.

1:25:51 > 1:25:52Yes?

1:25:52 > 1:25:53'Hello, Stanley.'

1:25:55 > 1:25:56Louis!

1:25:58 > 1:25:59Is that really you?

1:25:59 > 1:26:01It is me, yes.

1:26:01 > 1:26:02'Where are you?'

1:26:02 > 1:26:05I'm in Marseille. I'm getting a ship to America.

1:26:05 > 1:26:08Oh, what are you going to do there? Start a new band?

1:26:08 > 1:26:10Maybe, there's a lot of competition now.

1:26:10 > 1:26:12Louis, I just didn't think that...

1:26:12 > 1:26:13'You'd ever hear from me?'

1:26:13 > 1:26:15No, I didn't.

1:26:15 > 1:26:18I mean, I knew you must have made it out of England.

1:26:18 > 1:26:20'Did you read about Julian?'

1:26:20 > 1:26:22I did, just a few lines.

1:26:22 > 1:26:23Best we don't talk about that.

1:26:23 > 1:26:25Right, OK.

1:26:25 > 1:26:27I have to be quick.

1:26:27 > 1:26:29'Eh? Oh, blimey, I can't hear you.'

1:26:29 > 1:26:32I said I have to be quick. This is costing a fortune, but I have to know,

1:26:32 > 1:26:34what are you doing back at the Imperial?

1:26:34 > 1:26:36I called the magazine and they said you were there.

1:26:36 > 1:26:38Ah, yes, yes. It's my first night back.

1:26:38 > 1:26:40None of us have been here for several months.

1:26:40 > 1:26:43So it didn't close? The old place is still there?

1:26:43 > 1:26:45Just about.

1:26:45 > 1:26:48It's sort of hanging on,

1:26:48 > 1:26:50week by week, getting ever shabbier.

1:26:50 > 1:26:52It's very like it was before we ever met,

1:26:52 > 1:26:54the old dowagers sitting in their corners,

1:26:54 > 1:26:56maybe even the Masons have crawled their way back.

1:26:56 > 1:26:59'Oh, and if I look across the lobby now,'

1:26:59 > 1:27:02there's Lady Cremone coming down for dinner.

1:27:02 > 1:27:04'Now, she and I, well...'

1:27:04 > 1:27:06Are not quite what you were before?

1:27:07 > 1:27:09That's right.

1:27:10 > 1:27:11Ooh!

1:27:11 > 1:27:13STANLEY LAUGHS

1:27:13 > 1:27:14You'll never guess.

1:27:14 > 1:27:16'This is good -

1:27:16 > 1:27:17'Jack Paynton is about to play.'

1:27:17 > 1:27:19Jack Paynton?!

1:27:19 > 1:27:21He's not back there playing, is he?

1:27:21 > 1:27:23It really is as if we were never there.

1:27:23 > 1:27:25Not quite, my friend.

1:27:25 > 1:27:27Twice a week, for a short while,

1:27:27 > 1:27:30'before Jack Paynton plays,'

1:27:30 > 1:27:33just as the dowagers are tucking in to their salmon mousse...

1:27:33 > 1:27:35PIANO PLAYS

1:27:35 > 1:27:36..this happens...

1:27:38 > 1:27:46# Lord, lead me on

1:27:46 > 1:27:54# Lord, lead me on

1:27:54 > 1:28:01# Lead me across the river
