0:01:31 > 0:01:35Yes, we are swept up
0:01:35 > 0:01:38in a sea of scientific and technical innovation.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44The automobile, the electric light, the aeroplane, the x-ray.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47On all sides, our genius cries out
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and seems to underline Mr Darwin's assertion
0:01:49 > 0:01:54that we are, indeed, the cleverest of an evolutionary bunch.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Yet I would say to him, as I say to all those in this house,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03look to the workings of a timepiece.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Each ratchet and spring and cog and lever,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11all coming together in one sublime whole.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16And tell me if you think that could happen by accident?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Of course not.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24There is always design in brilliance. And purpose, too.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29And in knowing that, we know that in each new discovery we daily make,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33we witness no more or less than the work of the greatest creator of all,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35God Himself!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38The Bible was given to us for a reason,
0:02:38 > 0:02:43as the instruction manual for our own intricate mechanism.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46For, when all is said and done,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49and we lie inert on the mortician's slab,
0:02:49 > 0:02:53no matter the x-rays that will reveal our hidden bones,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57it is our souls that will then require attention!
0:02:57 > 0:02:58- MAN:- Hear, hear!
0:02:58 > 0:03:02APPLAUSE
0:03:28 > 0:03:32That...was magnificent.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- You were like a god!- Hermione, you romanticise everything.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39You were! I merely describe what I saw -
0:03:39 > 0:03:41a god.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43And as your priestess,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I knew I must hurry across to serve you.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Let me get you a drink.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Thank you.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20BABY WAILS
0:04:20 > 0:04:23She keeps grizzling.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27I've give her some water but... I told Conk I'd see him at three.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Go on, then, go on.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Shush, shush, shush. Shush, shush, shush.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35Quiet, you two!

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Are you serious?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- I thought it would cheer you up. - That?
0:05:02 > 0:05:03MUSIC STOPS
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Well, inspire you, then. Father only put this thing in here...
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Gudrun! I don't need any musical palliatives. Really.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12I'm quite well.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Good. I'm glad you are.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I'm going back to London.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- What?- I have to.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28I've fallen behind on my course.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- And there's a gallery that wants to see some of my work.- Gudrun!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Do me the courtesy.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39You're going back for your trip, after all. Aren't you?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42It's none of your business. And...
0:05:42 > 0:05:43I don't want to talk about it.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Then why did you mention it when you first came home?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- I beg your pardon? - It was the first thing you said,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52your great adventure with your artist friend.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I thought you were going to tell Father over the dinner table.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57- Don't be ridiculous. - He's a married man.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00His marriage is over. In everything...
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Except actuality.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05I'm sorry. I don't...
0:06:07 > 0:06:11It's concern for you, you know that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- If other people found out...- I don't care what other people think.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17You should. We live in a world full of other people.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Oh, God! Even ill, you manage to sound so superior.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- I don't want you to be hurt. - I won't be hurt!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25The world's changed, Ursula.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29It's grown up. And I'm a modern woman in it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32More than you are, in fact, who's chosen to stay here.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- Prune.- No. I refuse to dip only in the stagnant, fetid pool
0:06:37 > 0:06:38that gathers in my own back yard.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41That's the path to disaster. Not my way.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Enough!
0:06:43 > 0:06:46You've said enough.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I've got my just desserts.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- That's not what I meant.- Yes, it is.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I'm glad I lost the baby.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I should have loved it, I'm sure, when it was born.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10But really, I'm glad.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15That mother will no longer be able to look over at me,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18sitting in the parlour while I dangle the infant on me knee
0:07:18 > 0:07:22and think, "At last, she's made something of herself."
0:07:22 > 0:07:24THEY CHUCKLE
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Live your life, Prune, as you see fit.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33But it's yours. Remember that.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Men cannot define you.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- I don't...- Yes, you do.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Because...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46..no matter how modern you are,
0:07:46 > 0:07:50how much...variety you enjoy...
0:07:51 > 0:07:53..you still orbit them,
0:07:53 > 0:07:57make them the light by which you are illuminated.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02And if you continue on that track, Prune, then I fear that...
0:08:03 > 0:08:05..for all your freedoms...
0:08:08 > 0:08:11..you might as well climb into this bed with me now.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34CHILDREN'S VOICES OUTSIDE
0:08:45 > 0:08:47SOBS
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Hey!
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Bye.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Bye, love. Oh. Hang on! Hang on!
0:09:06 > 0:09:07There you go.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- You ready, then?- Yes.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Gudrun.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- What?- Your sister. Is she all right?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24She says she's much better.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Oh. Right.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Good.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I'll just fetch my valise.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35It's a "bag".
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Bad do, Anna.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Bad bloody do all round.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53ENGINE HUMS
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Set?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37Oh!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54'It's thick. The snow.'
0:10:58 > 0:11:02'Me dad said the mummers might come by later.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06'Carol us, under the window.'
0:11:06 > 0:11:08'That would be nice.'
0:11:11 > 0:11:12'They probably won't.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15'Because of the snow.'
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- I locked it.- Well, you wouldn't want anyone to steal it, would you?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Sherbet lemons. They've opened a kiosk.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Do you want one?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Here, have the bag.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Go on.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I needed to speak to you, actually.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Yes?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05You know well enough.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10This crowd in London you hang about with.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- I most certainly do not "hang about" with anyone.- Don't split hairs.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- You know what I mean. - I am a fine artist, Father!
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I'm living and studying in one of the world's great capitals.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I mix with people that you cannot understand.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Then help me! Help me understand 'em. I want to.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I just...
0:12:27 > 0:12:28Otherwise...
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- ..I think things.- Well, don't.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38TRAIN WHISTLE IN DISTANCE
0:12:38 > 0:12:41I'm getting on splendidly. Really.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45GUARD BLOWS WHISTLE
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Why are you doing this?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51You're a good girl, Gudrun.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53TRAIN WHISTLE TOOTS
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- MAN:- Oh, bugger.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Ooh, sorry.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Ah, Miss Brangwen.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Mr Birkin.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17What a nice surprise.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- I didn't know you were back. - No. No, no, no, indeed.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23It's a flying visit.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25A birthday party. Gerald Crich. Do you know him?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29No, no. I know of him, obviously. All the Crichs. We've never met.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Oh, he's a splendid fellow.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I ran into him in Switzerland over Easter.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I was visiting a friend, a mutual friend as it turned out.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Since then, we've rather become an item.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I should introduce you.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43That would be nice.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46And how are you? I heard you'd been unwell.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49Influenza. But...
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- You still look a little pale. You don't think that...- No, I'm fine!
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Really, I'm over the worst.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Sorry.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I'm a dreadful hypochondriac.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Part of a general predisposition to naval gaze rather too much, I think!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Gerald says I should be a character in a novel.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Interesting, as he's never actually read one.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Essentially, he's right. I should. One of those gloomy Russian affairs.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Tolstoy or Dostoyevsky.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19400 pages being ill and bemoaning my inability to fit in with the world.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Have you come to practise?
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- I assume you'll be giving us one of your thunderous readings this Sunday?- Oh. No. No, no.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32I'm not sure I'll be around.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I'm just erm... returning these, actually.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I really have had them a lifetime. It suddenly occurred to me that I...
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Would you like a lift?
0:14:45 > 0:14:48Back to Beldover? I've borrowed a gig.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51I could quite easily run you.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Oh, or were you having, er...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55having a moment?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57THEY BOTH LAUGH
0:15:00 > 0:15:03It's good to see you. Of all people.
0:15:03 > 0:15:04It's been a little while.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Yes. Yes, I did mean to write.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09You've been busy. I understand.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I thought perhaps you might have visited the school.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15How is Miss Roddice, by the way?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Oh, she's, um... She's very well. Thank you.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I'll tell her we bumped into each other.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22You are still in regular contact, then?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26Er... Yes, you know. On and off.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- And what of Mr Skrebensky? I imagine, he's...- I wouldn't know.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33He's been posted abroad.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34We are definitely off.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I beg your pardon. I'm being rather forceful.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43No, not at all. No. You're being...
0:15:43 > 0:15:46refreshingly honest. As you always are.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Ursula, where you been?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Mr Brangwen.- Mr Birkin.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Your mother's been having kittens, fretting where you'd gone.- I...
0:15:57 > 0:16:02You shouldn't even be out. You should be in bed still, not striding hither and yon.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Is that yours? Sorry.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Well, I just see you have the gauntlets.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12The motorcycle is mine, Mr Birkin.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I apologise.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- Would you like to touch it?- May I?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Yeah.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Good Lord!
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Aye. It's the way forward.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31Them have the smell of glue in their nostrils, every one of them, if they've any sense.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Anyway. I thank you for bringing my daughter back.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I was going to ask Mr Birkin if he'd like to come in, Father.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Would that be all right?
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Er, no. I don't think so, not today.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I mean...
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Billy's not very well and...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Cassie, she's sick n'all.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55It's like a plague house, really.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I quite understand.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Honestly. Gerald's promised me a special supper,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03so I shouldn't be too late back, anyway.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05But please, do keep in contact.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- I will.- Good day.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Walk on.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Father?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25You've got a visitor.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27I've no doubt you'd rather keep it private.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Anton.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Ursula.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42I tried wiring.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45But it's all still in its infancy over there.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Then I drafted a letter but couldn't express my thoughts exactly.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Why have you come?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Because I received your letter.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57And it affected me greatly. I knew I must see you.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00The child is gone.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Yes, I know.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Mother.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13She told me only the barest of details.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Horses in a field...
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- bolted.- It is gone!
0:18:18 > 0:18:19And I am sorry for you.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27For us, it would have been wonderful.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29But we will try again.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I can't believe I can say that!
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Because...after you left me,
0:18:35 > 0:18:41I couldn't imagine ever even speaking to you again. I felt most slighted.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Yes. And I am sorry. - I was when I read what you wrote,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- I knew you felt remorse and... - I cannot remember what I said.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51You said there were things you had imagined you could not have with me.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53A different kind of love.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56But you saw that was all illusory at last.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And you wanted me.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03You wanted what you could have.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Well, you can, Ursula.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11And you must have this back.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I should go now.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42It's shock enough, my turning up unannounced.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I'll call tomorrow.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49In the afternoon.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50Yes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Lots of the men at the barracks have lovers.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Most, in fact.- Do they?
0:20:19 > 0:20:23They're always mentioning some amazing fine woman or other.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27And most dash off to London the moment they finish their work.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- What for?- To see them!
0:20:33 > 0:20:36One fellow has a suitcase always at the ready
0:20:36 > 0:20:40and the moment he is at liberty, he whips off his spurs and runs to the train.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43It must be quite a welcome which awaits him.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45I think it is.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Don't you like me tonight?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- We kissed.- Like children!
0:20:51 > 0:20:53I want to kiss properly.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17See? Not so bad?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33SHE MOANS
0:21:49 > 0:21:51SHE LAUGHS
0:22:04 > 0:22:07There you are. Anton Skrebensky.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- I thought we should not see him again.- Mother, please.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13It was an observation. I wasn't...
0:22:14 > 0:22:17He told me
0:22:17 > 0:22:18that you wrote of me.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22In asking for his forgiveness...
0:22:22 > 0:22:25you wrote that since you'd become pregnant,
0:22:25 > 0:22:30you saw me suddenly in a new and true light.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35That I was radically true,
0:22:35 > 0:22:39having your father and my children and my place here under the sun.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42And what was enough for me, must surely be enough for you?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Is that what you said?
0:22:48 > 0:22:52I must have, if that is what he remembers. What of it?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Be careful what you wish for.
0:23:23 > 0:23:28- Anna.- I'm tired.- And I'm awake.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Why must you?- Because I must!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- You're sheathed over.- What?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50You don't need me.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52You're self-sufficient, you are.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55You belong elsewhere. You don't belong with me.
0:23:55 > 0:24:01- But I am your wife.- In name you are, but not in the dark.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12Ooh, bugger, bugger, bugger!
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Everything all right?
0:24:14 > 0:24:17What do you think? No.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Clearly.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21You need to be careful with those hammers.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26- Do you practise?- You're like something from the Varieties. - I'm merely trying to help.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Then grab a rope.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Gosh.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Gosh?
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- You did give me the impression you wanted the party to happen modestly. If at all.- I do! It's Father.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45- When he sets his mind to something, he doesn't bother with half measures. - Your father?
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Oh, I mentioned some improvements to the collieries. He wants me to get on with it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Quid pro quo.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55His side of the bargain.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59You know, what would be really helpful, would be if you pulled on that rope,
0:24:59 > 0:25:02thus lifting your edge of the tent.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Oh. Would you like gloves?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15If it's not too much trouble.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Couldn't you get the men to do it? - Of course I could.
0:25:18 > 0:25:25Except this is the only bit of the whole event I'll actually enjoy.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29You really are the thing itself.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I tell all of my friends that.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32In education. Generally!
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I know a man who is the spirit of the age.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37I'm putting up a tent, Rupert!
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It's an ethos, you clod!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Energy. Speed.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47What about all the modernising at the pits? The electricity!
0:25:47 > 0:25:48Anyone would have done that.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51No. It's you.
0:25:51 > 0:25:58"Like an exploding shell shot from a gun which fragments into a million different pieces,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01"he evolves new systems, new beliefs, even."
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Ah! You can stop there.
0:26:04 > 0:26:05I know where you're going now.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08All that... Futurist gumph.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10The pointy pictures.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Do you know, I said to one of the buttys the other day,
0:26:14 > 0:26:19I've never been led round an art gallery to the point of actual sickness, until you took me.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23And not a single breast. I mean, normally, there is at least that to fall back on.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Not with your friends!
0:26:25 > 0:26:28I am an industrialist!
0:26:28 > 0:26:33I like to get things done. There's an end to it.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Anyway, should you even be saying that sort of stuff?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41New beliefs and... Get you into terrible trouble upstairs, won't it?
0:26:41 > 0:26:46I was merely observing the way you are, Gerald. I keep my own beliefs quite separate.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Abby.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Don't you just like to get things done!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Oh, for goodness sake! I was smiling. That's all.- Of course.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Just here on the left, please.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06How much is that?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08One and six, please, love.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11Thank you.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Thank you.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42- Gudrun!- She's back. All hail the Queen!
0:27:42 > 0:27:46# Lately I just spent a week with my old Aunt Brown... #
0:27:46 > 0:27:48You're too kind.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51See you, Percy.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56- Who's that?- Percy Lewis. Prefers Wyndham these days. - He knows of your paintings.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I know of his. I would have liked to have talked to him.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04He's best friends with Edith Sitwell. You'll bump into her, she's from up north.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06I'm from the Midlands, Halliday.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Hello!
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Freddy!
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Freddy Von Such and Such.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Doesn't she have stacks of money?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Edith Sitwell. I think she does.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Money is nothing, Pussum. Class...
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Is everything!
0:28:23 > 0:28:25THEY LAUGH
0:28:25 > 0:28:29# Oh, Mr Porter, what a silly girl I am... #
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- More champagne!- So.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36How was it? At home.
0:28:36 > 0:28:41It was terribly earnest, as always.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I spoke to Tommy Craig earlier.
0:28:43 > 0:28:49He knows of your little adventure this weekend.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Does anyone else?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Anyone who cares to ask me.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Ha! You are splendid!
0:28:55 > 0:28:59I refuse to be bound by the weary sickness of pedantry and tradition!
0:28:59 > 0:29:01That, I can drink to.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08But...
0:29:08 > 0:29:10But will you really do it?
0:29:14 > 0:29:16It's just a fuck.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29You are magnificent.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Am I?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13I'm old, Anna.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16What you on about? You're not yet 50.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21That's old.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24I'm died out from the hot life, that's for sure.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32They'll be all right, won't they?
0:30:33 > 0:30:39The girls, they'll be all right?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46SHOUTING AND CHEERING
0:30:52 > 0:30:55INDISTINCT CONVERSATION
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Oh, I thought you'd gone.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I forgot something.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07You wouldn't have me beg, surely?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10I will, of course, if I must.
0:31:18 > 0:31:25Darling, nothing excites me more than a man in extremis, but on this occasion, I must decline.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29I must reserve all my strength for tomorrow, after all.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32You have the strength of ten.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Let me be the hors d'oeuvre.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Really, I can't.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- But Halliday said you were a good sport.- What?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- He said you were a good sport. - I heard what you said. Um...
0:31:57 > 0:32:01Talk to me next week, Freddy. I might be a little freer then.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Or we'll see each other at your mother's party, won't we?
0:32:06 > 0:32:08We can talk then.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11What?
0:32:11 > 0:32:14I meant to mention.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16It's nothing personal,
0:32:16 > 0:32:21but she says the numbers will be wrong, apparently, if...
0:32:21 > 0:32:23I'm not even sure I'll go myself.
0:32:25 > 0:32:31Fine. Well, I'll see you in class, then.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36RAUCOUS CHEERING AND LAUGHTER
0:32:46 > 0:32:49KNOCK AT DOOR
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Oh! I was coming down.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Oh.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I thought you might prefer it up here.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04I will. Now you've brought it. Thank you.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Your father's motorcycle won't start.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15He's late for work.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18I said to him, you don't get that with a horse.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21Less it's dead, of course.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26When he sold the farm, I remember, I told him, there's much to recommend
0:33:26 > 0:33:31this life, Will, over a town, and you'll come to see it one day.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Are you all right?
0:33:35 > 0:33:39He loves you very much, you know.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Your father.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Oh, Mother.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Oh, Mother.- Stop fussing.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50I'm not fussing. You're upset.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55You were upset yesterday after Anton's visit. What's going on, Mother?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Please!
0:33:58 > 0:34:00He held you so close to the flame.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02So young.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06What? Who did?
0:34:06 > 0:34:10You think I don't approve of how you live. And...
0:34:10 > 0:34:14Well, it's true. What's happened now with you and Anton Skrebensky,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18I doubt I should've allowed myself to get in the same position.
0:34:18 > 0:34:24All this need for independence, too. Wanting to work and...
0:34:24 > 0:34:27That's not something I can understand either.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31But... I'm not sour.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40We are not so different, Ursula, you and I. That's what I mean.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44And I realise,
0:34:46 > 0:34:49it maybe isn't all your fault. How things have turned out.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52And perhaps if I had been less...
0:34:53 > 0:34:57certain after we were married...
0:34:58 > 0:35:00With Father?
0:35:03 > 0:35:04I knew where his love would go.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09And I knew, too, the dangers of making so young a heart swell,
0:35:09 > 0:35:14of how a person receiving such devotion might grow,
0:35:14 > 0:35:20live their whole lives yearning for that same fierce passion
0:35:20 > 0:35:22and how that might, one day,
0:35:22 > 0:35:29cause that person to suffer somehow.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34I knew all that
0:35:34 > 0:35:35and I did nothing.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46But I'm not sour.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I'm sorry.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57MOTORCYCLE STARTS OUTSIDE
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- What about Mother?- She's got little Billy and your sister to look after.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- She'll not mind. - So why are we whispering?
0:36:08 > 0:36:12Cos we don't want to wake her, do we? Ursula, it's gala day.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Do you know how many gala days you get in a year?
0:36:14 > 0:36:18Few, my duck. Very few. Now come on!
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Geronimo!
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- Go on, have a swing. You know you want to.- No!
0:36:27 > 0:36:33- But there's the thrill of the drop. Run out, let go and drop. - I'm scared.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Go-o-o-o!
0:36:35 > 0:36:37SHE SCREAMS EXCITEDLY
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Ursula!
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Ursula!
0:36:46 > 0:36:48SHE GASPS FOR BREATH
0:36:50 > 0:36:53It's all right. It's all right. It's all right. I've got you.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Well done. You did it, didn't you?
0:36:55 > 0:37:00You swung in from that great, high rope. There's a good girl!
0:37:00 > 0:37:06Fair now. I'll win you a goldfish and we can go on the swing boats.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Good girl.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- Hello, Robert.- Gudrun.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Are you ready?
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Yes.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39I was just... looking at your work.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41It's Eadweard Muybridge.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I merely photographed the photographs.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51All photography is theft, Robert! That's the point.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56And the more we writhe for the camera, the more the soul remains obscured.
0:37:58 > 0:38:04- Another one of your paintings sold yesterday, at the Serpentine. - Another!
0:38:04 > 0:38:06The painting of the street light.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Ah-ha!
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Were any of yours?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15I'm not a real artist, Gudrun.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18That is why I teach.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22But I have my moments of optimism. Like anyone else.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24And now is one such moment.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Our very own adventure!
0:38:26 > 0:38:27The Isle of Wight!
0:38:29 > 0:38:31GUARD WHISTLES
0:38:33 > 0:38:37Et voila! The connection is at midday, the boat at two.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42- I can't.- What?- I can't do it. I'm sorry.
0:38:46 > 0:38:47But...
0:38:47 > 0:38:49I thought I could.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51I want to.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54But I'm not like you.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00- I'm a married man.- But we have to go, Robert. We've announced it.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03In our hearts...
0:39:03 > 0:39:07There, we have already made the commitment.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09We have to have our time away together, Robert.
0:39:09 > 0:39:15We're artists. It is our duty to rise above the crowd.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18I know my limitations, Gudrun.
0:39:18 > 0:39:23I am a middle-aged man who plays at painting, but what am I? Actually?
0:39:23 > 0:39:29Someone who stands at the front of a classroom, in order to support a wife and two small children.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Oh, very well, Robert. If you insist.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39But you can't leave it like this, here.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44At least come away with me for an afternoon.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48We can go to Brighton, we can see the sea, and then we can return home this evening.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55SHE LAUGHS
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Come on.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17WATER BIRDS CALLING
0:40:33 > 0:40:36'Look at Nottingham. Look at the lights.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38'Aren't they an abomination?'
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- Polluting the dark.- At the same time, they do help you to see.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47'They do, though. It would be hell without them. I must go back tomorrow.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50'My leave has expired.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53'Oh, Anton. You should have said.'
0:40:53 > 0:40:58- I would have arranged something special.- Perhaps I have.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Aah!
0:41:21 > 0:41:26- I'm sorry. - No. No. It's fine. It's fine.
0:41:26 > 0:41:33Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!
0:41:33 > 0:41:34What's the matter?
0:41:37 > 0:41:42Nothing. Nothing. It's fine.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04SHALLOW BREATHING
0:42:10 > 0:42:12BREATHING GETTING FASTER
0:42:19 > 0:42:22BREATHING SLOWING DOWN
0:42:32 > 0:42:34You are wrong, Mother!
0:42:34 > 0:42:36What's the matter? What is it, child?
0:42:36 > 0:42:39You think you have damaged me. You...
0:42:39 > 0:42:42What has happened with Anton is because of Father and...
0:42:42 > 0:42:44And you are right.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46When I recall, we did have some times.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- And I have said...- No! Wait.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55I've always known.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01I felt, rather than thought.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05And you are right, probably. About father. His role.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09But that is not why Anton and I...
0:43:10 > 0:43:14The problem is sex, Mother.
0:43:14 > 0:43:16Sex, love.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19I broke with Anton because...
0:43:19 > 0:43:22he did not feed that animal side of me.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25The felt life.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29And I wrote to get back together because I was pregnant and I was scared.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33But now, with the baby gone,
0:43:33 > 0:43:37I was certain once more I am meant to be free.
0:43:37 > 0:43:41To indulge my passion in this life.
0:43:41 > 0:43:42But it is not passion, Mother,
0:43:42 > 0:43:47which drives me on. It is lust.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51And insatiable desire.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54And that is what stood between me and Anton.
0:43:54 > 0:43:56It's the same thing.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58What?
0:43:58 > 0:44:00The passion that you talk of.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04For life and...
0:44:04 > 0:44:06all that's out there and the other thing.
0:44:06 > 0:44:09They're the same.
0:44:09 > 0:44:11We must keep ourselves warm, Ursula.
0:44:11 > 0:44:15We must. There is no shame in it, what happens between people,
0:44:15 > 0:44:18between them as love each other.
0:44:18 > 0:44:22And so we must keep the flame burning, crackling in the grate.
0:44:22 > 0:44:26Otherwise, we're cold on the earth, when soon enough we're going to be cold beneath it.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28Do you see?
0:44:28 > 0:44:32You are lucky. You have felt the truth of it.
0:44:32 > 0:44:34That some do not, or cannot, for whatever reason.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38Some choose to be cold. They choose the gone-out world.
0:44:38 > 0:44:42Because it offers less danger, less shame, perhaps.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47But no-one should choose it.
0:44:47 > 0:44:52Find love that burns your very soul.
0:44:52 > 0:44:55And know this, that it will burn your body, too.
0:44:55 > 0:44:58And if it does not,
0:44:59 > 0:45:01then you're not in love.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15It's Mr Skrebensky.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26Good afternoon.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29It's my uncle's. I thought it would cheer Ursula up.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40So...where to?
0:45:40 > 0:45:43- Southwell, I thought. Or, um... - Could we go to the sea?
0:45:43 > 0:45:46- What?- Would it get us to the coast? - Of course.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50< Ursula!
0:45:56 > 0:45:58LAUGHING
0:45:58 > 0:45:59Gudrun!
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Oh, it really is a frightful drop!
0:46:01 > 0:46:04- Please... - Come. Come and see.- Be careful.
0:46:04 > 0:46:06Come here!
0:46:08 > 0:46:10- Oh, my Lord!- Look!
0:46:10 > 0:46:12No... I don't like this at all.
0:46:14 > 0:46:18- You laugh, but one slip and you'll be over, all snuffed out.- Good!
0:46:18 > 0:46:20We must pass beyond life, Robert.
0:46:20 > 0:46:23And a little way into death if we are ever to feel truly alive.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32You are so beautiful.
0:46:32 > 0:46:33Why are you with me?
0:46:40 > 0:46:42Because I can be.
0:46:45 > 0:46:47Feel that.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50What can you feel?
0:46:50 > 0:46:51Tell me.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58I feel...happiness.
0:46:59 > 0:47:01First time in my life.
0:47:03 > 0:47:04Real happiness.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08See? You're a poet as well as a painter.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15I am flesh and blood.
0:47:15 > 0:47:18That's why cliffs scare me.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20I would break if I fell.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22But you...
0:47:23 > 0:47:25..you're eternal.
0:47:25 > 0:47:26So you can look.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44Lunch in ten minutes.
0:47:44 > 0:47:45Lovely. Thank you.
0:47:47 > 0:47:49And have you seen the book?
0:47:50 > 0:47:55- On Mont Blanc. I'm sure it'll remind you of the holiday.- No, um...
0:47:55 > 0:47:57You weren't terribly precise.
0:47:57 > 0:47:59Right at the top.
0:48:00 > 0:48:03Why do you keep it up there? Don't you look at it very often?
0:48:03 > 0:48:06It's a book on mountaineering, Rupert.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11Gerald, Christ!
0:48:12 > 0:48:15It gets hard around the Thesauruses.
0:48:15 > 0:48:18They and I have a natural aversion to one another.
0:48:18 > 0:48:21- Be careful.- I'm...
0:48:21 > 0:48:23I'm fine.
0:48:23 > 0:48:24Never in doubt.
0:48:26 > 0:48:27Ta-ra!
0:48:28 > 0:48:30- Rupert.- Miss Roddice.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33- Good afternoon.- Gerald.- Hermione.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38You're five hours early.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42I thought I might be able to assist in the preparations.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44And failing that,
0:48:44 > 0:48:48a chance to catch up with Mr Birkin on one of his ever rarer trips
0:48:48 > 0:48:51- outside of Nottingham. - Ooh, that reminds me -
0:48:51 > 0:48:53are we going to try and take in the county game?
0:48:53 > 0:48:57- We could still get back in time. - I'm sure you've loads to tell me.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59Actually, it's rather unfortunate.
0:48:59 > 0:49:03But if I'd known you were coming earlier, I'd have been able to...
0:49:03 > 0:49:07But as it is, I have some business to attend to.
0:49:07 > 0:49:10I meant to mention. It won't take too long.
0:49:15 > 0:49:18There is a tent I've got to finish putting up, actually.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22You don't fancy...?
0:49:37 > 0:49:39You will not even fuck me.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42- Your cock. Would that excite you? - Hermione!
0:49:42 > 0:49:43SHE LAUGHS
0:49:43 > 0:49:46You cannot fuck me!
0:49:47 > 0:49:50I know you can get aroused. You're not a real man. You're a boy.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53- You want...- Stop it.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57- It's happening.- Hermione! - You needed words.
0:49:57 > 0:49:58I knew you needed words.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00I warn you!
0:50:00 > 0:50:05So, will this man stand up in church on Sunday and read the Gospel?
0:50:05 > 0:50:09You hypocrite! Is not marriage and union with a woman
0:50:09 > 0:50:12at the very heart of the Christian community?
0:50:12 > 0:50:13Rupert? Rupert?
0:50:13 > 0:50:17So, even if you cannot do your duty by me as a man,
0:50:17 > 0:50:21you should come to me hard and ready as a disciple of Jesus.
0:50:21 > 0:50:23And if you cannot do that,
0:50:23 > 0:50:27what are you doing in the Church?
0:50:34 > 0:50:36Mmm.
0:50:38 > 0:50:39Mmm!
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Oh, lovely, ta.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42Good.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47Where are the children?
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Billy took them out. He was desperate.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52Gone over to Cossell.
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Will you go out later?
0:50:57 > 0:51:00Yeah, I might.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02Up the church. Practise a bit.
0:51:03 > 0:51:07- Why?- I wondered. It is a Saturday afternoon.
0:51:07 > 0:51:08It's your time.
0:51:22 > 0:51:24You do not want to be with me any more.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32- You what?- I understand.- Hang on.
0:51:32 > 0:51:37You think you have not enough of me and maybe you don't, except...
0:51:37 > 0:51:40maybe, too, you don't make it good between us any more.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42You're not interested.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45What in God's name are you talking about, Anna?
0:51:45 > 0:51:47Would you like to have another woman?
0:51:48 > 0:51:50- What?- Would you?
0:51:52 > 0:51:54I can't believe...
0:51:55 > 0:51:58- Why would you say such a thing? - I think you would.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02- Now, you listen to me, Anna. I don't know where... - You must do what you have to.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04I want you to.
0:52:04 > 0:52:09But you're mine, Will Brangwen. You're my man, and I'll never let you go.
0:52:09 > 0:52:13And if I have ever wronged you, it was fear. You must understand that.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15I understand you've gone mad!
0:52:15 > 0:52:16No, now I have my sanity.
0:52:16 > 0:52:20And you must do whatever it takes, but then you must come back to me.
0:52:20 > 0:52:24Cos we cannot just whiten into ash. We have to find a way.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28That's enough! Just... stop with all your...
0:52:28 > 0:52:30your "make it good again".
0:52:30 > 0:52:32What's come over you?
0:52:33 > 0:52:35What are you doing?
0:52:35 > 0:52:37I'm going out. You want me out, don't you?
0:52:37 > 0:52:40- I'm not interested in you any more.- Not like this!
0:52:40 > 0:52:45I must mend me ways. Well, bugger you! If I'm that bad, you'll not miss me, will you?
0:52:48 > 0:52:49DOOR SLAMS
0:52:51 > 0:52:53You don't understand me.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59I'll have a bitter.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02And a port.
0:53:18 > 0:53:20Oh, God!
0:53:20 > 0:53:24- That's the spirit. - I thought you'd cleared off.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27- I'm back.- Apparently.
0:53:28 > 0:53:30It's the small talk I can't bear.
0:53:30 > 0:53:33It's a black art, don't you agree?
0:53:33 > 0:53:37- DOOR OPENS - Has anyone seen my purse?
0:53:37 > 0:53:40Good Lord, Diana! What have you come as? A Christmas tree?
0:53:42 > 0:53:49If the world were ending, my sister would merely ask, "Does the molten sun go with my sash, do you think?"
0:53:50 > 0:53:52Ah, present.
0:53:52 > 0:53:55- What?- It is today, isn't it? The actual birthday.
0:53:55 > 0:53:57I haven't given you a present yet.
0:53:59 > 0:54:01Did you wrap it yourself?
0:54:01 > 0:54:04- Yes.- You should have left the light on.
0:54:08 > 0:54:12It's a cigarette lighter. It's called a Wonderlite.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14It stays on until you shut the lid.
0:54:17 > 0:54:18Ha!
0:54:18 > 0:54:20That is...marvellous.
0:54:22 > 0:54:23Thank you.
0:54:24 > 0:54:26Oh, bugger! Ha-ha!
0:54:26 > 0:54:28- It's fine.- Sorry.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38- All set?- I hope you are.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40Plenty here already.
0:54:40 > 0:54:44- And I shall attend to them, every one.- Good.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46You're a Crich, Gerald. Never forget that.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48We can be relied upon.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50Yes, we can.
0:54:53 > 0:54:54Good boy.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58Yes.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11< Rupert.
0:55:12 > 0:55:14At last.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17Hm.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20I, um...
0:55:20 > 0:55:23I have some Wagner.
0:55:23 > 0:55:25I wanted to tell you. I know you like to listen.
0:55:25 > 0:55:28Yes, yes. I should, um... I should like that.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32You could come back after church tomorrow.
0:55:33 > 0:55:35Er...I don't think I'll be going.
0:55:35 > 0:55:36Why not?
0:55:36 > 0:55:39Oh, I, um... I just, I have...
0:55:39 > 0:55:42I have some things to do.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44I'll ring you to arrange a time.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48If Gerald can spare you, of course.
0:55:50 > 0:55:52I just...
0:55:52 > 0:55:56..don't want your brain to atrophy, Rupert. That's all.
0:55:57 > 0:56:01You are one of our great minds,
0:56:01 > 0:56:04and spending time with Gerald Crich...
0:56:04 > 0:56:11Unless of course you want to know all the new ways of getting coal from the ground?
0:56:11 > 0:56:14You cannot speak to me like that any more.
0:56:14 > 0:56:16We are just friends now.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20Rupert...
0:56:20 > 0:56:25no matter what you tell yourself, you know the truth as well as I.
0:56:25 > 0:56:29We will never just be friends because you need me too much.
0:56:29 > 0:56:33I am your spiritual bride
0:56:33 > 0:56:37and that...is why I find it so objectionable...
0:56:39 > 0:56:41..to discover that I am overlooked
0:56:41 > 0:56:45for the attentions of a dull, boorish oaf.
0:56:45 > 0:56:47You are such a snob.
0:56:48 > 0:56:49No.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54I am honest about who I am.
0:56:55 > 0:56:59I do not go slumming for entertainment.
0:57:05 > 0:57:06Excuse me. One moment.
0:57:30 > 0:57:33We should probably set off quite soon.
0:57:33 > 0:57:35You've had quite a look now.
0:57:41 > 0:57:44I think Skegness might have been better.
0:57:45 > 0:57:48- More to do.- Here is perfect.
0:57:48 > 0:57:51Oh, no. Absolutely. I've loved it. All those...
0:57:52 > 0:57:54All the sand, water.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06I have to give you this.
0:58:10 > 0:58:13- What have I done wrong?- Nothing.
0:58:13 > 0:58:14So...
0:58:19 > 0:58:24You do not accompany me... into the unknown.
0:58:25 > 0:58:29You do not...set off with me...
0:58:30 > 0:58:34through life, into...wonder.
0:58:34 > 0:58:36- It's just words.- Oh!
0:58:38 > 0:58:39Words.
0:58:41 > 0:58:46Now tell me why you cannot be with me so I can understand.
0:58:48 > 0:58:51- You don't satisfy me.- What?
0:58:51 > 0:58:53Physically, you...
0:58:55 > 0:58:58The other things, they are...
0:58:59 > 0:59:01..a journey which lovers must take.
0:59:01 > 0:59:05So they may feel the earth between their toes.
0:59:06 > 0:59:10But the journey must first be ignited...
0:59:10 > 0:59:11and you don't.
0:59:13 > 0:59:15I don't satisfy you?
0:59:16 > 0:59:18You've never satisfied me.
0:59:26 > 0:59:28I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
1:00:24 > 1:00:27SEAGULLS CAW
1:00:51 > 1:00:53LAUGHTER AND CLAPPING
1:00:55 > 1:00:57Thank you. Thank you.
1:00:57 > 1:01:02Madam, could you wake the man up next to you? We need the seat for the eight o'clock house.
1:01:02 > 1:01:05LAUGHTER
1:01:05 > 1:01:06- Cheers!- Cheers!
1:01:14 > 1:01:16That was the best turn we've had.
1:01:22 > 1:01:27I've a good mind to go up Rollins... for a cup of their best coffee
1:01:27 > 1:01:31and some of their pastry fancies.
1:01:31 > 1:01:33If anyone would care to be treated.
1:01:37 > 1:01:39BABY CRIES Oh, come here.
1:01:52 > 1:01:54No, he's not coming.
1:01:54 > 1:01:56PANTING AND GROANING
1:02:03 > 1:02:05I can still taste that cake on you.
1:02:05 > 1:02:08Weren't it lovely?
1:02:08 > 1:02:10- Not as lovely as you. - All right, then.
1:02:10 > 1:02:13Give us your jacket.
1:02:15 > 1:02:18This is me best frock.
1:02:18 > 1:02:20I'm not getting grass up it.
1:02:26 > 1:02:28Right.
1:02:28 > 1:02:30Yeah.
1:02:43 > 1:02:46HE MOANS
1:02:47 > 1:02:49No.
1:02:53 > 1:02:55What?
1:02:55 > 1:02:56Ah...
1:02:56 > 1:02:58No.
1:02:58 > 1:03:01What you on about? I said you could.
1:03:01 > 1:03:04Yeah, I know. I know and I...
1:03:05 > 1:03:06I can't.
1:03:06 > 1:03:09What do you mean, you can't?
1:03:09 > 1:03:14- What's wrong with me? - Oh, there's nowt wrong with you!
1:03:14 > 1:03:17You're beautiful. You're...
1:03:24 > 1:03:25I had a girl like you.
1:03:28 > 1:03:30And her skin were like yours.
1:03:32 > 1:03:34Only now it in't.
1:03:36 > 1:03:38But that's all right, cos...
1:03:40 > 1:03:42..it got like that with me.
1:03:43 > 1:03:45Do you see?
1:03:47 > 1:03:51A young lad needs to look on you.
1:03:53 > 1:03:56Not some old bugger like me.
1:03:57 > 1:03:59A young lad...
1:04:01 > 1:04:03..who knows nowt else but you.
1:04:23 > 1:04:25Isn't that better?
1:04:27 > 1:04:29You must have me, Robert,
1:04:29 > 1:04:31or else you are incomplete.
1:04:33 > 1:04:37I know you better than you know yourself.
1:04:41 > 1:04:43People make such a fuss about sex.
1:04:43 > 1:04:46But it really is the most natural thing in the world.
1:04:48 > 1:04:51Why mightn't we do it when we please?
1:04:53 > 1:04:55Robert?
1:04:56 > 1:04:57Yes.
1:04:59 > 1:05:01What are you doing?
1:05:04 > 1:05:05I'm going to get dressed.
1:05:09 > 1:05:12There's a train in about 25 minutes.
1:05:12 > 1:05:14We could still...
1:05:14 > 1:05:16- I can still...- Go back?
1:05:16 > 1:05:19Please, don't say anything.
1:05:19 > 1:05:21Robert.
1:05:21 > 1:05:24You don't have to come. You can stay here, enjoy the place.
1:05:24 > 1:05:29I already paid the bill, er...any extras.
1:05:29 > 1:05:34Breakfast. There's a carriage ride along the front. I think that's included.
1:05:34 > 1:05:35Are you insane?
1:05:38 > 1:05:40Was this your plan all along?
1:05:40 > 1:05:44Once the ship was breached, to desert it like a bloated rat?
1:05:44 > 1:05:47- How can you say that?- How can I?
1:05:47 > 1:05:54It's not I, who seconds after emptying myself of my precious seed, runs for the station!
1:05:58 > 1:05:59It's my own fault.
1:06:01 > 1:06:03You warned me.
1:06:04 > 1:06:07You warned me at the station that you hadn't the stomach for it.
1:06:12 > 1:06:15This is not that! I swear.
1:06:15 > 1:06:18- What is it then?- It's...
1:06:23 > 1:06:26I cannot ever feel...
1:06:26 > 1:06:29better than this.
1:06:30 > 1:06:32I know that for a certainty.
1:06:34 > 1:06:36This is my summit...
1:06:37 > 1:06:43..and all that remains from here on in is an approximation of life with Beatrice.
1:06:43 > 1:06:46- Don't say her name.- Ah, sorry.
1:06:46 > 1:06:50I just want you to know why I have to leave.
1:06:52 > 1:06:55Because now that we have had...
1:06:59 > 1:07:01You will tire of me.
1:07:03 > 1:07:05I am your experiment...
1:07:07 > 1:07:09..and I know it. It's fine.
1:07:12 > 1:07:14But you will move on
1:07:14 > 1:07:18and I cannot allow that...
1:07:18 > 1:07:20decay...
1:07:21 > 1:07:23..not between us.
1:07:34 > 1:07:36I am complete,
1:07:36 > 1:07:38forever,
1:07:38 > 1:07:40like this.

1:08:07 > 1:08:08Ah!
1:08:09 > 1:08:12I've been looking all over for you.
1:08:12 > 1:08:14Sorry, I'm not much company.
1:08:16 > 1:08:18It's worse than before.
1:08:18 > 1:08:21- I thought I'd better enjoy things in absentia.- What is wrong?
1:08:23 > 1:08:25I told you, I hate parties,
1:08:25 > 1:08:28especially birthdays. Somebody always drags me down.
1:08:28 > 1:08:31- I try to get to the bottom of it, but...- Don't do that.
1:08:31 > 1:08:34That is called introspection. It's terribly destructive,
1:08:34 > 1:08:36especially if you're not the sort.
1:08:39 > 1:08:41Get in. Have a plank.
1:08:46 > 1:08:48Whoops.
1:08:51 > 1:08:54You have been enjoying yourself.
1:09:00 > 1:09:02We're fine.
1:09:02 > 1:09:04We can drift a bit.
1:09:19 > 1:09:20Get down.
1:09:23 > 1:09:25What?
1:09:27 > 1:09:28Get out of the car.
1:09:31 > 1:09:34- It is another 18 miles.- Walk it.
1:09:47 > 1:09:48Give me your shoes.
1:09:49 > 1:09:52Give them to me.
1:09:57 > 1:10:00Now you may feel the earth between your toes.
1:10:00 > 1:10:02Feel it until they bleed!
1:10:39 > 1:10:40Do you know of Blutbruderschaft?
1:10:41 > 1:10:43- Blood brothers?- Yes.
1:10:43 > 1:10:47I mean, originally, it was German knights.
1:10:47 > 1:10:51They made a cut in their arms and then they rubbed each other's blood into the cut.
1:10:51 > 1:10:53Doesn't sound awfully hygienic.
1:10:56 > 1:10:58I think the idea was...
1:10:59 > 1:11:04..when a man found another man that he admired
1:11:04 > 1:11:08and that feeling was reciprocated, it was a, kind of, way of showing
1:11:08 > 1:11:09a sort of...
1:11:10 > 1:11:12..loyalty or commitment or...
1:11:14 > 1:11:15..almost a love.
1:11:15 > 1:11:20You'd need to love someone to carve yourself open.
1:11:21 > 1:11:22All the same...
1:11:24 > 1:11:26..I think where we are now in history...
1:11:29 > 1:11:31..perhaps Nietzsche is right.
1:11:33 > 1:11:35The world does spin of its own accord.
1:11:35 > 1:11:41Not divinely, but just... because it does.
1:11:42 > 1:11:44As we do here,
1:11:44 > 1:11:46drifting on the water...
1:11:47 > 1:11:49..randomly...
1:11:49 > 1:11:51straying through an infinite nothing.
1:11:54 > 1:11:55Rupert...
1:11:55 > 1:11:58I haven't got a solitary clue what you're on about.
1:12:02 > 1:12:04Good old Gerald.
1:12:07 > 1:12:09Perhaps God is dead.
1:12:10 > 1:12:14- What?!- I think He is.
1:12:14 > 1:12:18Or surely He'd look after those who looked after Him a little bit better, don't you think?
1:12:19 > 1:12:23Give them the odd sign, leg up. Keep fighting the good fight.
1:12:25 > 1:12:29And if there is no
1:12:29 > 1:12:32Deus ex machina forming our future and...
1:12:33 > 1:12:37Well, where does the answer to tomorrow lie?
1:12:37 > 1:12:40It's with us, Gerald, with manity.
1:12:40 > 1:12:45So we must declare ourselves, if there is but this one life...
1:12:47 > 1:12:50..we must not waste it in hesitation!
1:12:58 > 1:13:00HEAVY SPLASH
1:13:00 > 1:13:01- What's that?- Di!
1:13:01 > 1:13:03There's somebody in the water.
1:13:04 > 1:13:07- Di!- Christ, row up, quickly!- Diana!
1:13:07 > 1:13:11Stay out of the water. Nobody else go in!
1:13:11 > 1:13:14It's your sister, Gerald. It's Diana.
1:13:14 > 1:13:18- It's Di, Gerald! Diana fell in. - I know. Who's gone in after her?
1:13:18 > 1:13:22- Young Dr Brindell.- I am responsible. - Gerald, you can't go in there.
1:13:22 > 1:13:27- Gerald!- Di! Diana!
1:13:44 > 1:13:45Gerald!
1:14:02 > 1:14:06- Will?- Aye.
1:14:20 > 1:14:21Anna?
1:14:25 > 1:14:26Is it done?
1:14:26 > 1:14:28- Turn the lamp on.- What?
1:14:30 > 1:14:31Let me see you.
1:14:33 > 1:14:34See you as you are.
1:14:54 > 1:14:56I could never be unfaithful to you.
1:14:59 > 1:15:02You have my soul, Anna Brangwen.
1:15:05 > 1:15:08- I tried...- Sshh.
1:15:08 > 1:15:11Undress, come to bed. Be with me.
1:15:28 > 1:15:31I don't understand, Anna. What happened?
1:15:31 > 1:15:35I mistrusted you and that is an end to it.
1:15:35 > 1:15:36But I never...
1:15:43 > 1:15:45You're unfettered, Will,
1:15:45 > 1:15:48and I am not.
1:15:48 > 1:15:50You scare me sometimes.
1:15:54 > 1:15:58I will risk everything, I promise.
1:15:58 > 1:16:00So must you, again, with me.
1:16:20 > 1:16:22- Come.- Where?
1:16:22 > 1:16:23To your bed.
1:16:23 > 1:16:25I can't go to sleep when they're still in the water.
1:16:27 > 1:16:28Gerald.
1:16:29 > 1:16:31- Father.- Do you have them, yet?
1:16:31 > 1:16:32Are they safe?
1:16:35 > 1:16:38No, I...fear it's too late.
1:16:41 > 1:16:44Get back to it. You are in charge!
1:16:45 > 1:16:46They're gone!
1:16:47 > 1:16:50The currents are too strong, I'm sorry.
1:16:51 > 1:16:54Father, there's nothing we can do.
1:16:56 > 1:16:58They're dead, Gerald. Gerald!
1:16:59 > 1:17:01They're dead.
1:18:42 > 1:18:46She killed him, as he tried to save her.
1:18:50 > 1:18:51Thank you for staying.
1:18:52 > 1:18:55You have to go to London today, don't you?
1:18:55 > 1:18:58I'm there myself later in the week.
1:18:58 > 1:19:00We should perhaps meet up.
1:19:00 > 1:19:03Gerald.
1:19:03 > 1:19:04What?
1:19:05 > 1:19:07Your sister.
1:19:07 > 1:19:08What?
1:19:11 > 1:19:13Nothing. Just...
1:19:13 > 1:19:15You think we should discuss it, don't you?
1:19:18 > 1:19:20No, not discuss. Just...
1:19:22 > 1:19:24I'm getting on, Rupert.
1:19:24 > 1:19:27Spirit of the age. Isn't that what you said?
1:19:29 > 1:19:31Like an exploding shell?
1:19:31 > 1:19:32A machine.
1:19:37 > 1:19:40'It was strange, you know...
1:19:40 > 1:19:43'under the water.
1:19:43 > 1:19:45'It's so black and vast down there.
1:19:49 > 1:19:51'A man...could be consumed.
1:19:52 > 1:19:54'But on the surface? In the air?
1:19:54 > 1:19:56'I am a machine, Rupert.
1:19:58 > 1:20:00'I need fuelling,
1:20:00 > 1:20:02'certain things to keep me oiled but...
1:20:04 > 1:20:05'..that's it.'
1:20:07 > 1:20:09After that...
1:20:09 > 1:20:11I just carry on...
1:20:14 > 1:20:16..through everything.
1:20:20 > 1:20:21Did you see?
1:20:21 > 1:20:23He died trying to save her.
1:20:26 > 1:20:28Yes, you said.
1:20:32 > 1:20:34She would not have overpowered me.
1:21:13 > 1:21:18Lass, come here. Oh, come here.
1:21:18 > 1:21:21SHE CRIES
1:21:22 > 1:21:23I never liked him.
1:21:24 > 1:21:26Thick as pig shit.
1:21:26 > 1:21:27SHE LAUGHS
1:21:27 > 1:21:30- And not half your wit.- No!
1:21:41 > 1:21:43- Take care.- You, too.
1:21:59 > 1:22:00Mr Gerald.
1:22:01 > 1:22:05Abby... I didn't expect to see you here.
1:22:05 > 1:22:07My mother lives here. Arkwright Street.
1:22:07 > 1:22:09Ah.
1:22:10 > 1:22:13I'm so sorry...about Miss Diana.
1:22:13 > 1:22:15Yes. Thank you.
1:22:15 > 1:22:17Dreadful business.
1:22:18 > 1:22:19Would you care for a drink?
1:22:21 > 1:22:23Yates's is, er...
1:22:23 > 1:22:25I think I could do with a...
1:22:25 > 1:22:27a little something.
1:22:27 > 1:22:28Only if you have time.
1:22:28 > 1:22:31No, I should like that.
1:22:38 > 1:22:39Thank you.

1:23:29 > 1:23:33Champagne, Charlie. Put it on Maxim's account.
1:23:33 > 1:23:35I thought you weren't back until tomorrow.
1:23:37 > 1:23:42- She's worn the poor bugger out. - There were some difficulties.
1:23:42 > 1:23:43You didn't go!
1:23:43 > 1:23:49Oh, no, we went. We stayed in a wonderful hotel, in Brighton.
1:23:49 > 1:23:51Huzzah!
1:23:51 > 1:23:52Then we came back this morning.
1:23:55 > 1:23:56You lying bitch.
1:23:59 > 1:24:03He was back in my bed last night, after having had his fill with you.
1:24:05 > 1:24:09- Excuse me!- No, I won't.
1:24:09 > 1:24:12But he's gone now, dear Robert.
1:24:12 > 1:24:15He left me a note to say how happy you made him.
1:24:17 > 1:24:21He realised he could no longer continue his dull, sterile life,
1:24:21 > 1:24:25so he was leaving for a new start.
1:24:27 > 1:24:32This, dear children, is the whore who stole your father.
1:24:32 > 1:24:35- Madam, if you were a lady... - Oh, I am a lady.
1:24:35 > 1:24:39I was brought up properly, with manners and decency and loyalty.
1:24:39 > 1:24:41- Not to fuck my way into society. - How dare you!
1:24:41 > 1:24:45Oh, yes, I am a lady, which you, despite your fine clothes
1:24:45 > 1:24:48and bottles of champagne, clearly, are not.
1:24:48 > 1:24:50You're a common slut!
1:24:52 > 1:24:57And judging by these faces staring at you, they know it, too.
1:25:08 > 1:25:09SHE WHISPERS
1:25:14 > 1:25:20# Young girl, and I've just come over

1:28:09 > 1:28:10Dirty fucking queer!
