0:00:26 > 0:00:28MUSIC: "Misty" by Ella Fitzgerald

0:00:28 > 0:00:31# Look at me

0:00:33 > 0:00:40# I'm as helpless as a kitten up a tree

0:00:41 > 0:00:45# And I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud

0:00:45 > 0:00:50# I can't understand

0:00:50 > 0:00:56# I get misty just holding your hand... #

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Damn!

0:01:00 > 0:01:05# Walk my way

0:01:05 > 0:01:13# And a thousand violins begin to play

0:01:13 > 0:01:18# Or it might be the sound of your hello

0:01:18 > 0:01:22# That music I hear

0:01:22 > 0:01:29# I get misty the moment you're near

0:01:32 > 0:01:40# Can't you see that you're leading me on?

0:01:40 > 0:01:46# And it's just what I want to you do... #

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Must keep up appearances, Eleanor.

0:01:48 > 0:01:56# Don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost?

0:01:56 > 0:02:02# That's why I'm following you. #

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Mrs Tembe, it's Mandy.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Yes, I'm fine. No, honestly, everything is fine.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44I just wanted to let you know I will be coming in today, so you

0:02:44 > 0:02:45can book in any appointments...

0:02:47 > 0:02:49Yes, I know it's my day off...

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Yes, I am enjoying my new house, it's...

0:02:57 > 0:02:59OK. OK. I won't come in.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Yes, you too.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22MUSIC: "It's Magic" by Doris Day

0:03:22 > 0:03:25# Here's how the song begins

0:03:25 > 0:03:30# You speak and I hear violins

0:03:30 > 0:03:34# It's magic. #

0:04:12 > 0:04:13Where would you like to sit?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15MUSIC: "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole

0:04:15 > 0:04:18# Never before

0:04:19 > 0:04:23# Has someone been more

0:04:25 > 0:04:27# Unforgettable... #

0:04:27 > 0:04:29You want some help with that?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32I can manage, thank you.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38# And for ever more. #

0:04:41 > 0:04:43I can manage, thank you.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Honestly, it's no bother.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Better get back to your drink before it gets cold.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Oh!

0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Are you all right?- I can manage.

0:06:27 > 0:06:30I'm a nurse, so if I can help.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Just lost my balance. One of those days.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36Let me give you a hand cos I'm on my way out anyway.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Gorgeous, aren't they?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04They can be really slow in here but they do have some good stuff.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09You'd be amazed how supportive

0:07:09 > 0:07:12some of these new styles are, you know.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Look how pretty these are.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16Those will do me.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20Come on. A stylish lady like you?

0:07:20 > 0:07:23I bet you were a heart-breaker, back in the day.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Is there anyone actually working in this shop?

0:07:33 > 0:07:38No, wait. I didn't mean it like that. Come back!

0:07:39 > 0:07:42I don't believe this. I'll be right back.

0:07:42 > 0:07:43Oi!

0:07:43 > 0:07:46MUSIC: "Bewitched, Bothered And Bewildered" by Ella Fitzgerald

0:07:46 > 0:07:48# I'm wild again

0:07:50 > 0:07:53# Beguiled again

0:07:54 > 0:08:00# A simpering, whimpering child again

0:08:00 > 0:08:04# Bewitched, bothered

0:08:04 > 0:08:10# And bewildered am I. #

0:08:14 > 0:08:16He was like a man possessed out there,

0:08:16 > 0:08:20going on about how he had to go after her, prove his honour.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22I mean, get real.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24This is all because she took it the wrong way

0:08:24 > 0:08:26when he said he was going to ask her to do something he'd

0:08:26 > 0:08:28never asked a woman to do before.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32Then he was all like, "Oh, my life's a meaningless drudge without her."

0:08:32 > 0:08:36I don't even want to think about what they were doing back there.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38Think it's funny, do you?

0:08:38 > 0:08:42I'm sorry, it's just you look rather sweet when you're cross.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Yeah, well, I won't look so sweet when he comes back.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47I rather admire his passion.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Haven't you ever done anything reckless for love?

0:08:51 > 0:08:53I don't think that's real love, do you?

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Chasing someone down the street. That's easy.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02It's when you build a life with someone.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Work at something together.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Then in one stupid moment...

0:09:10 > 0:09:11A wrong choice.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16It's not always to take a risk and follow your heart.

0:09:19 > 0:09:20I just...

0:09:20 > 0:09:24know what harm it can do, being irresponsible like that.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29This is about responsibility, Eleanor.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Responsibility and commitment.

0:09:32 > 0:09:35To our family, this marriage.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38But with the twins at boarding school now...

0:09:38 > 0:09:40And I'm only suggesting something part time,

0:09:40 > 0:09:42in an office perhaps.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44I saw a notice up in a gallery the other day..

0:09:44 > 0:09:45Dear...Eleanor.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50What do you know about art or typing for that matter?

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Look, If you really feel you have too much time on your hands,

0:09:53 > 0:09:57what about some sort of a hobby?

0:09:59 > 0:10:01You really ought to try this, it's very good.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Are you OK?

0:10:08 > 0:10:12I'm quite all right. The shoes will have to wait.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Well, you know, the surgery I work at isn't far from here.

0:10:16 > 0:10:17We could get a cab.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19We could get one of the doctors to have a look at you.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21No, dear, it's nothing.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23An uninvited visitor.

0:10:23 > 0:10:27He has this nasty habit of catching me off guard every now and then.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Dead 10 years and the old goat still won't leave me alone.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35That's the commitment I made.

0:10:35 > 0:10:36For life.

0:10:38 > 0:10:39A fitting sentence, in my case.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44I bet you've got some fond memories in there too.

0:10:45 > 0:10:46Some of them are wonderful.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48But they're the hard ones

0:10:48 > 0:10:49to live with.

0:10:49 > 0:10:50But I wouldn't trade them

0:10:50 > 0:10:51for the world.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57When that's all you've got, it's hard to let go, eh?

0:10:58 > 0:11:02I just keep going round and round in my head with the what-ifs.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Where do you go with that?

0:11:05 > 0:11:08You go out and start living again.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Go and do something reckless,

0:11:11 > 0:11:13foolish, brave.

0:11:13 > 0:11:14MUSIC: "Smile" by Nat King Cole

0:11:14 > 0:11:17# Light up your face with gladness

0:11:20 > 0:11:25# Hide every trace of sadness

0:11:27 > 0:11:32# Although a tear

0:11:34 > 0:11:38# May be ever so near

0:11:40 > 0:11:45# That's the time you must keep on trying

0:11:48 > 0:11:52# Smile, what's the use of crying?

0:11:54 > 0:12:00# You'll find that life is still worthwhile

0:12:03 > 0:12:11# If you just smile. #

0:12:33 > 0:12:38I don't want to blink in case you disappear.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Please, don't get the wrong idea.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44I don't even know why I am here,

0:12:44 > 0:12:45to be honest.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48I just...

0:12:50 > 0:12:52You seemed like someone

0:12:52 > 0:12:54I might be able to talk to.

0:12:58 > 0:13:00So talk.

0:13:12 > 0:13:13What do you think of these?

0:13:13 > 0:13:16I've always had a bit of thing for red shoes.

0:13:16 > 0:13:17And they're my size.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19You're just like her.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20Sorry, what was that?

0:13:22 > 0:13:25I can just picture you dancing in those.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29Maybe they're a bit showy.

0:13:29 > 0:13:33If you like them, what does it matter if they're showy?

0:13:33 > 0:13:37I just haven't felt much like going out lately.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40It's hard losing someone you love, isn't it?

0:13:42 > 0:13:46From the moment she held that door open for me, I knew.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47We both did.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52I tried to pretend for a while but I knew.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59There she goes again. A goldfinch.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04How do you do that?

0:14:04 > 0:14:09In Jamaica, there were some great woods for a kid to get lost in.

0:14:09 > 0:14:12I got to know all the different birdsongs,

0:14:12 > 0:14:13so when I came here...

0:14:15 > 0:14:19The thing I loved best as a child was dancing.

0:14:19 > 0:14:23Ballet, tap, you name it. I even did ballroom for a while.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25So, why did you stop?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32- I have to get back, if I'm late... - It's already too late for me.

0:14:34 > 0:14:39- Susie, if this is some sort of game to you, some sort of trick...- Mm-mm.

0:14:40 > 0:14:44I've never been more sure of anything in my life.

0:14:48 > 0:14:53Sometimes it's as if I could still reach out to touch her.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Then I blink and she's gone.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00But I'm still here.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Only it isn't me.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07It's that strange old lady in the mirror

0:15:07 > 0:15:09and I don't know how she got there.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14She said yes.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18Congratulations. I hope you'll be very happy together.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Now perhaps you might help me buy a pair of shoes.

0:15:21 > 0:15:22Of course.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26And you're free to go.

0:15:26 > 0:15:31Unless you're ready to try on that other red shoe now?

0:15:31 > 0:15:34Maybe next time. But I'm going to give your feet a treat

0:15:34 > 0:15:37and get you to try on those black pumps

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Only if you promise you're ready to go dancing again.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43Deal.

0:15:43 > 0:15:44May I?

0:15:44 > 0:15:47MUSIC: "Blue Moon" by Mel Torme

0:15:47 > 0:15:54# Blue moon

0:15:56 > 0:16:01# You saw me standing alone

0:16:03 > 0:16:07# Without a dream in my heart.. #

0:16:07 > 0:16:09Let them stare.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12I want the whole world to see how beautiful you are.

0:16:19 > 0:16:25# Blue moon

0:16:25 > 0:16:31# You knew just what I was there for

0:16:33 > 0:16:38# You heard me saying a prayer

0:16:39 > 0:16:42# For someone

0:16:42 > 0:16:47# I really could care for... #

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I've changed my mind.

0:16:49 > 0:16:50Get off me!

0:16:52 > 0:16:54I'm tired and I want to go home.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58What are you staring at? Just leave me be!

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Forgive me for upsetting you like this.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15It's the last thing I'd want to do.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Don't let a silly old woman spoil your day.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22I'll be all right once I get a little air.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29LAUGHTER

0:17:32 > 0:17:35I'm so dizzy but I don't want to stop.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36We could just keep walking.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42We're so close now.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44If we can just wait a little bit longer,

0:17:44 > 0:17:47do it all properly, the way we've planned it.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50You've got me, Ellie.

0:17:50 > 0:17:51All of me.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55My life, it's yours now.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00Then what difference will a few hours make?

0:18:00 > 0:18:03For ever, remember.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27How were the cross-stitch ladies this morning?

0:18:29 > 0:18:31You must be quite the expert now.

0:18:33 > 0:18:34I'm leaving you, Walter.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48Could you please pass the salt?

0:18:57 > 0:18:58Do you think I'm stupid?

0:18:59 > 0:19:02That I don't know about your sordid little escapades?

0:19:05 > 0:19:08- I've been having you followed for months.- Good.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09I'm glad you know.

0:19:11 > 0:19:12We can sort out the paperwork later.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14I'll be in touch in due course.

0:19:16 > 0:19:17Please excuse me, Walter.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Eleanor, please.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22It's a weakness of the mind, that's all.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28I know of a doctor, someone who's treated these sorts of cases before.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30He thinks he can cure you.

0:19:30 > 0:19:31It's all very discreet.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33I'm not sick.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37I'm in love.

0:19:38 > 0:19:42I am truly in love for the first time in my life.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Eleanor, I have connections, powerful connections.

0:19:48 > 0:19:52If you take one more step, that doctor will sign your papers

0:19:52 > 0:19:55to have you committed so fast.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59So...

0:20:00 > 0:20:02..if you want to spend the rest of your days

0:20:02 > 0:20:06banging your head against the walls of a padded cell...

0:20:07 > 0:20:08..just keep walking.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13But I swear to God, you will never see the children again.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Please...

0:20:46 > 0:20:48..don't go like this.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51I'm fine. Truly, I am.

0:20:52 > 0:20:53Every now and then, I get

0:20:53 > 0:20:55a little stirred up, that's all.

0:20:55 > 0:20:57Things will settle down again,

0:20:57 > 0:20:59they always do.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02If you'd rather try another pair...

0:21:02 > 0:21:03I'll stick with these

0:21:03 > 0:21:07for now, but I expect you to keep to your word.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10Then let me hear it.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13I will. I promise.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16And what about you?

0:21:16 > 0:21:18It's too late for me, I made

0:21:18 > 0:21:21my prison when I broke a promise,

0:21:21 > 0:21:23a long time ago.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25I don't even know your name.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27It doesn't matter.

0:21:28 > 0:21:29I'm Mandy.

0:21:31 > 0:21:32Eleanor.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34Is that what she called you?

0:21:36 > 0:21:37Ellie.

0:21:40 > 0:21:42I don't know what went on with you two,

0:21:42 > 0:21:47but I know she wouldn't want to see you like this.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Please.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53Please, for her, for the girl who opened the door,

0:21:53 > 0:21:58let yourself be Ellie again, the Ellie she fell in love with.

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Perhaps there is

0:22:02 > 0:22:04one more dance in me yet.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11How about trying out these pumps now?

0:22:11 > 0:22:13You can save those for special occasions.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16This is a special occasion.
