0:11:53 > 0:11:55Would you like to paint me?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Why,... yes. Yes, if you like.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02It's so clever of you, knowing what you want.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12From last night. Charles is reading history,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- but he wants to be an artist. - No!
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- Why ever not?- Either you are an artist, or you are not.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Hear, hear.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Then, I am. - Interesting!
0:13:25 > 0:13:29You have about you a distinct hint of the pragmatic.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33What do you wanna be an artist for?! I mean, what's the point of it?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Why don't you just buy a bloody camera and take a bloody photograph,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- and stop giving yourself airs? - Go it, Boy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- I don't give myself airs. - Er, yes, you do.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57Because...
0:13:57 > 0:14:00a camera is a mechanical device
0:14:00 > 0:14:02which records a moment in time,
0:14:02 > 0:14:06but... not what that moment means,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09or the emotions that it evokes,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11whereas a painting,...
0:14:11 > 0:14:14however imperfect it may be,
0:14:14 > 0:14:18is an expression of... feeling.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21An expression of love.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16Charles! You're to come away at once.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I've got a basket of strawberries and a bottle of Chateau Peyraguey,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23which isn't a wine you've ever tasted, so don't pretend.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26It's heaven with strawberries.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Just the place to bury a crock of gold.

0:15:52 > 0:15:55in every place where I've been happy.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And then, when I was old and ugly and miserable,...
0:16:00 > 0:16:04..I could come back and dig it up,...
0:16:05 > 0:16:07..and remember.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Come along, Charles. There's someone I want you to meet.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- Is this where you live? - It's where my family live.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Don't worry. You won't have to meet them.- But I should like to.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01You can't. They're away.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Everything's shut up. We'd better go this way.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Keep up!
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- Charles!- Oh! - (LAUGHS) Charles...

0:18:11 > 0:18:14Meet my new chum, Charles.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18Charles, this is Nanny Hawkins. This is who I wanted you to meet.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- I don't think I know you, do I? - How do you do?
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Your friend has charming manners. What family are you from, Charles?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- No family. I mean, no-one important. - Charles is an artist.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- He's going to paint me. - GASPS
0:18:31 > 0:18:34How jolly! Oh...
0:18:34 > 0:18:38You've come at just the right time. Lady Marchmain's on her way.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42It's the Conservative Women's tea. They always turn out for Brideshead.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45I'm afraid we may have to miss them, Nanny.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Your mother will be disappointed. I'm sure she'd want to meet -
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Can't be done, I'm afraid. Got to get back, or we'll be gated.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03I pray for my dear Sebastian every day.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Charles! - It was very nice to meet you.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Come along. - Couldn't we just have a quick look?

0:20:04 > 0:20:07God, I loathe that painting!
0:20:09 > 0:20:13I could show you the chapel, I suppose. If we're quick.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38What did you do that for?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40You're not... Catholic, are you?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42No.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I was just... trying to fit in.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47Well, don't!

0:21:41 > 0:21:44I don't keep asking you about your family.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- But I've never asked you anything before!- You're so inquisitive.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- You're so mysterious about them. - I'd hoped I was mysterious
0:21:51 > 0:21:53about everything.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57Why don't you want me to meet them? Are you ashamed of them or me?
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Don't be so vulgar, Charles.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06I'm not having you mixed up with my family.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35"Gravely injured. Come at once. Sebastian."
0:23:36 > 0:23:41Oh, I'm sorry you're upset. Reading this message,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44I would say that the accident was not as serious
0:23:44 > 0:23:48as you seem to suggest, or... it would not have been signed
0:23:48 > 0:23:50by the victim himself.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Still, of course, he may be fully conscious
0:23:54 > 0:23:57but horribly paralysed. Remind me -
0:23:57 > 0:23:59why is your presence necessary?
0:23:59 > 0:24:03I told you. He's a great friend.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Well, I shall miss you, my boy.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28- How's Sebastian? - He's fine.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Fine? - Did he tell you he was dying?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Well, I thought... His message said...
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- I expect he thought you wouldn't come, if you knew.- He's not hurt?
0:25:37 > 0:25:41He cracked a bone in his foot so small it hasn't even got a name.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- How did it happen? - Playing croquet.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51I must admit, I did think it was a little queer,
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- you travelling all this way for a croquet injury.- I don't mind.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- It's wonderful to be here again. - Is it? Why?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Well, it's such a beautiful house, for one thing.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I can't stand the place.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49There you are! At last!
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- I thought you were dying. - I thought I was, too.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56The pain was excruciating.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00Julia, ask Wilcox to fetch us some champagne.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35I suppose Sebastian's told you all about us.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- No. Nothing at all, as a matter of fact.- Nor should I.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- What? - I take it you're not one of us.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Don't answer.- I don't live like this, if that's what you mean.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- She means you're not a Catholic. - Sorry. No.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Nothing at all. - You mean you're an atheist?

0:28:36 > 0:28:40so seriously, in fact, that our fat little priest, Father McKay,
0:28:40 > 0:28:44called her a living saint. Mind you, he drinks.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Sebastian and I are a couple of heathens.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51I'm not a heathen. I'm a sinner, cast out from God's love.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54As for you, you're not a heathen at all. Not really.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Why do we always end up talking about family?

0:34:23 > 0:34:26Do you often do that?

0:35:09 > 0:35:14I hope you didn't let Sebastian call you away in too much of a rush.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16I didn't have time to pack the right things.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20Sebastian must lend you some clothes while you're here.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Or perhaps Bridey's a better fit. Are you a Bridey or a Sebastian?
0:35:24 > 0:35:28He can't borrow Bridey's clothes. Bridey dresses like a bank clerk.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33Don't be vulgar, Cordelia. Vulgar is not the same as funny.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37I hope you've been looked after properly, Ryder.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Has Sebastian been seeing to the wine?
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Yes. Sebastian's been seeing to the wine.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Delighted to hear it.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48You're... fond of wine?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- Yes, very. - I wish I were.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54It's such a bond with other men.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58At Christchurch I tried to get drunk, but I didn't enjoy it.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- What- do- you enjoy, Bridey?
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Hunting.

0:36:10 > 0:36:15- And what form do your pleasures take, Mr Ryder?- Sorry. Pleasures?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Your hobbies. What do you do to relax?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- He drinks. - Drinking is not a hobby, Sebastian.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23You live in London. Is that correct?
0:36:23 > 0:36:27- Yes.- Whereabouts? - Paddington.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30You live in a railway station?
0:36:30 > 0:36:33No, no. (CLEARS THROAT) Sorry. I, um...
0:36:33 > 0:36:37- I live nearby. - Oh, I see.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39And has this led to an interest in trains?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- No. - So,...
0:36:44 > 0:36:48are you close with Sebastian's crowd?
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- Not really. - Anthony Blanche?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55We're... acquainted.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Charles is a painter, Mummy.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03How charming! We must get you to paint something for us.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Would you do that? - I'd be delighted.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10I think Brideshead's the most beautiful house I've ever seen.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- It's utterly magical. - How kind you are!
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Summer at Brideshead...
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Mr Ryder must stay with us for the rest of the vacation.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28As a matter of fact, I've just heard from Papa.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- He wants me to go and see him in Venice. And Julia.- I see.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- And do you intend to accept this invitation?- Yes. Why not?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- Julia, will you be going? - I'd like to.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Wouldn't you rather stay at Brideshead?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Well,... yes, if you want me to.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55You must not neglect your duty.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58No, Mother.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07I think we might spend a little time in the chapel after dinner.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Would you join us, Mr Ryder?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- Thank you. - You do know Charles is an atheist?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20An agnostic, surely.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Actually, no.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25But you'll join us anyway,...
0:38:26 > 0:38:28..out of curiosity.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Thank you.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- No Sebastian? - No, Mummy.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Charles, are you really an atheist?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Yes.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- I am. - How awful for you!
0:38:48 > 0:38:52I'll put you on my prayer list. I have a long list to pray for,
0:38:52 > 0:38:55including six Black Cordelias in Africa. It's a new thing.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59You send five bob to some nuns, and they christen a baby after you.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19it might be a good thing if you were to accompany him.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23He needs someone plausible by his side.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28I gather last time he was there he was befriending some...

0:54:50 > 0:54:54- I've been in Venice. - Ah, yes... I suppose so.
0:54:54 > 0:54:58The friend you were so much concerned about...
0:54:58 > 0:55:00Did he die?
0:55:02 > 0:55:05- No! - Oh, I'm very thankful.

0:55:35 > 0:55:38- Where is he... bastard? - Who?
0:55:38 > 0:55:41- Mr Samgrass. - Who's Mr Samgrass?
0:55:41 > 0:55:44One of Mummy's gang. Fat little Catholic from All Souls.
0:55:44 > 0:55:47Bastard's been set up to follow me. I wouldn't mind
0:55:47 > 0:55:51if he wasn't so infernally ugly. God, I feel a hundred years old!
0:55:51 > 0:55:54Why haven't you called round? I was beginning to think
0:55:54 > 0:55:57they hadn't sent you up.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00- Since Venice? - Yes.
0:56:04 > 0:56:07- Damn! There he is again. - Who? What are you talking about?
0:56:07 > 0:56:10Mr Samgrass! There! Mummy's hired him to watch me.
0:56:10 > 0:56:13- What does he want? - My head on a plate.
0:56:13 > 0:56:17Look,... if he's bothering you, I can stop him.

0:56:19 > 0:56:21Dear Charles!

0:56:24 > 0:56:27I'm not certain of anything.
0:56:27 > 0:56:29Aren't you?
0:56:31 > 0:56:33Oh, by the way,...
0:56:33 > 0:56:36Mummy's here.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38She has to talk to you.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Probably wants you to spy on me, as well.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44Don't be like that.
0:56:44 > 0:56:48Why don't I come round to your rooms later?
0:56:48 > 0:56:51I'm not sure I want to see you any more.
0:57:05 > 0:57:07I'm so sorry!
0:57:25 > 0:57:27So, Charles,...
0:57:28 > 0:57:30..how was Venice?
0:57:30 > 0:57:32Venice was fine.
0:57:32 > 0:57:35Strange way to put it.
0:57:35 > 0:57:39- It was beautiful. - Speaking as an artist or a man?
0:57:41 > 0:57:44I want a word with you about Sebastian.
0:57:44 > 0:57:46I'm concerned about him.
0:57:48 > 0:57:51- Tea? - No, thank you. Why? Should I be?
0:57:51 > 0:57:54He's drinking too much. You must have noticed.
0:57:54 > 0:57:57After all, I sent you to look after him.
0:57:57 > 0:58:01- I suppose we both drink too much. - No. You drink to get drunk.
0:58:01 > 0:58:04Sebastian drinks to escape the claims of his conscience.
0:58:07 > 0:58:11I do wish I could understand why he's so upset. Ever since Venice,
0:58:11 > 0:58:13he's been unreachable.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16Did something happen there?
0:58:16 > 0:58:18No.
0:58:20 > 0:58:23- You all had a good time? - Yes.
0:58:23 > 0:58:26I wonder what it could have been.
0:58:29 > 0:58:32I hope you didn't let Julia mislead you.
0:58:32 > 0:58:34I don't understand.
0:58:34 > 0:58:37Oh, I think you do.
0:58:37 > 0:58:41Please understand, I would not want you to make yourself look foolish.
0:58:41 > 0:58:45Her future is not a question of choice.
0:58:45 > 0:58:48It is a matter of faith.
0:58:48 > 0:58:51Were it simply a difference in... upbringing,
0:58:51 > 0:58:54this I might overlook.
0:58:54 > 0:58:57But you are a self-proclaimed atheist,
0:58:57 > 0:59:00and my daughter is destined to marry a Catholic.
0:59:00 > 0:59:03God commands, and we obey.
0:59:03 > 0:59:08However, we're here to talk about your friendship with my son.
0:59:08 > 0:59:11I'm not sure Sebastian wants to be my friend any more.
0:59:11 > 0:59:13Because of Julia?
0:59:13 > 0:59:16That is all cleared up now.
0:59:16 > 0:59:18We're giving a ball for Julia's 21st.
0:59:18 > 0:59:21I'd like you to keep Sebastian company.
0:59:21 > 0:59:24You came to Brideshead as my son's friend.
0:59:24 > 0:59:27If you have... unaccountably offended him,
0:59:27 > 0:59:31is it too much to ask that you revisit your responsibilities?
0:59:32 > 0:59:36- To him or to you? - To the family.
0:59:38 > 0:59:42And, of course, Brideshead does look particularly beautiful
0:59:42 > 0:59:45at this time of year.
0:59:45 > 0:59:48Tell me,... I'm curious.
0:59:50 > 0:59:53Since, as you claim, you have no religion,...
0:59:54 > 0:59:58..what do you imagine you are doing on this earth?
0:59:59 > 1:00:02Living my life, the same as you.
1:00:02 > 1:00:06But without faith, what could your purpose possibly be?
1:00:08 > 1:00:11I want to look back and say that I was...
1:00:11 > 1:00:13alive.
1:00:14 > 1:00:19That I didn't turn my back. That I tried.
1:00:20 > 1:00:23- That I was happy. - Happiness in this life
1:00:23 > 1:00:26is irrelevant. All that matters -
1:00:26 > 1:00:30the only thing of consequence -
1:00:30 > 1:00:32is the life hereafter.
1:01:15 > 1:01:19Funny, isn't it? It's my little present to the family.
1:01:19 > 1:01:23- Rex Mottram. How do you do? - Charles Ryder.
1:01:23 > 1:01:26Good to meet you, Charles. Heard all about you.
1:01:26 > 1:01:30We should, er,... compare notes sometime.
1:01:30 > 1:01:33- Going on the hunt? - I don't think so.- Wise man.

1:03:04 > 1:03:07You're shaking.
1:03:07 > 1:03:09What is it? What's the matter?
1:03:10 > 1:03:12Don't you know, Charles?
1:03:13 > 1:03:16Why this is hell, nor am I out of it?
1:03:16 > 1:03:20- If I've ever done anything... - It's not you.
1:03:20 > 1:03:22It's me.
1:03:26 > 1:03:29For God's sake,...
1:03:29 > 1:03:32do stop mooning at me like a great big cow.
1:03:33 > 1:03:35I'm fine.
1:03:36 > 1:03:39I'm fine, so long as I've got plenty of this.
1:03:39 > 1:03:43I want you to know that, whatever happened in Venice,
1:03:43 > 1:03:47I'm not in your mother's gang, if that's what you think.
1:03:48 > 1:03:50I'm on your side.
1:03:50 > 1:03:53Contra mundum.
1:03:56 > 1:03:59Dear Charles!
1:04:02 > 1:04:05You're not in anybody's gang.
1:04:06 > 1:04:08That's always been your problem.
1:04:17 > 1:04:22Why are you going on the hunt? I thought you detested hunting.
1:04:22 > 1:04:24I do.
1:04:25 > 1:04:28I'm going to leave Bridey at the first covert,
1:04:28 > 1:04:33hack over to the nearest pub and spend the whole day drinking.
1:04:35 > 1:04:38They treat me like a dipsomaniac. They can bloody well have one.
1:04:38 > 1:04:43- Well, they can't stop you. - They can, as a matter of fact.
1:04:46 > 1:04:50By not giving me any money. They've stopped my bank account!
1:04:52 > 1:04:55I pawned my watch and cigarette case.
1:04:55 > 1:04:58That lasted for a bit, but...
1:05:00 > 1:05:02..that's all gone now.
1:05:02 > 1:05:04So,...
1:05:04 > 1:05:08- regretfully... - Sebastian, I can't do that.
1:05:08 > 1:05:10I thought you were on my side.
1:05:10 > 1:05:13- I am! - Well, then...
1:05:14 > 1:05:19Why don't I come with you? It's miserable drinking alone.
1:05:19 > 1:05:22We can get drunk together, like we used to.
1:05:22 > 1:05:24No.
1:05:24 > 1:05:26I'm past all that.
1:05:26 > 1:05:29Thanks for the offer.
1:05:33 > 1:05:35Well,...

1:11:07 > 1:11:09Yes.
1:11:09 > 1:11:12I don't understand.
1:11:12 > 1:11:15How could you be so nice in so many ways,

1:11:19 > 1:11:21We all liked you so much.
1:11:21 > 1:11:25I just don't understand how we deserved it.

1:11:53 > 1:11:58You're so desperate to be liked. I think you should leave now, Charles.

1:14:59 > 1:15:03I hear you have your first exhibition at the Royal Academy.
1:15:03 > 1:15:07- Congratulations.- I'm sure you're not here to ask me how I am.
1:15:07 > 1:15:11No. The last time we saw each other, I spoke rather harshly.
1:15:11 > 1:15:14I'm not here to apologise. What I said, I meant.
1:15:14 > 1:15:18I took you into my confidence and you betrayed me.
1:15:18 > 1:15:21I do hope you're not asking me to agree with you.
1:15:21 > 1:15:24- I act only as God directs. - Rubbish!
1:15:24 > 1:15:27God's your best invention. Whatever you want, he does.
1:15:27 > 1:15:32- I am not here to argue with you. - Good. I'm glad to hear it.
1:15:32 > 1:15:36The reason I called was to ask you a favour.
1:15:38 > 1:15:40A favour?
1:15:40 > 1:15:44Sebastian's gone missing. He's in a house in Morocco.
1:15:44 > 1:15:48I'm worried about him. I need you to bring him back.
1:15:49 > 1:15:52You banish me from your house,
1:15:52 > 1:15:55you poison my friendship with both your children,
1:15:55 > 1:15:58and now you expect me to go begging on your behalf?
1:15:58 > 1:16:01- There's no-one else I can ask. - Even if I were to agree,
1:16:01 > 1:16:05what makes you think Sebastian would take any notice of me?
1:16:05 > 1:16:11Because he cared for you more than he ever cared for anyone else.
1:16:15 > 1:16:18All I ever wanted was to see them safe.
1:16:18 > 1:16:21And all they do is hate me.

1:20:25 > 1:20:27I think...
1:20:28 > 1:20:31I think she's dying.
1:20:38 > 1:20:42Walk with me. I'm meant to exercise.
1:21:01 > 1:21:03Did you go to my house?
1:21:03 > 1:21:06Did you meet Kurt?
1:21:06 > 1:21:08Yes.
1:21:10 > 1:21:13He wanted you to know he was waiting for you.
1:21:13 > 1:21:16It's rather a pleasant change,...
1:21:17 > 1:21:21..when, all your life, you've had people looking after you,
1:21:21 > 1:21:24to have someone to look after yourself.
1:21:37 > 1:21:41- I thought you'd want to go back to Brideshead one day.- Brideshead?!
1:21:41 > 1:21:44Are you mad?
1:21:44 > 1:21:47The place would still be full of her.
1:21:49 > 1:21:53I wouldn't go within a hundred miles of the place.
1:21:57 > 1:21:59I need to sit.
1:22:12 > 1:22:14I'm sorry.
1:22:14 > 1:22:16Whatever for?
1:22:25 > 1:22:28Everything.
1:22:28 > 1:22:30It's all right.
1:22:30 > 1:22:32Truly.
1:22:34 > 1:22:37I asked too much of you.
1:22:39 > 1:22:42I knew it all along, really.
1:22:43 > 1:22:47Only God can give you that sort of love.
1:22:53 > 1:22:55Come home, Sebastian.
1:22:56 > 1:22:59When you're well enough.
1:23:00 > 1:23:02Don't finish it like this.
1:23:06 > 1:23:09This is my life now.
1:23:09 > 1:23:12I'm happy here.
1:23:16 > 1:23:18I miss you.
1:23:20 > 1:23:22How sweet of you to say that!
1:23:25 > 1:23:27Dear Charles.
1:23:30 > 1:23:33It was my fault for bringing you to Brideshead.
1:23:38 > 1:23:40Run away.
1:23:41 > 1:23:44Run far away, and don't ever look back.
1:24:36 > 1:24:38I'm sorry.
1:25:04 > 1:25:06You must be so proud of him!
1:25:06 > 1:25:09- Was he away long? - Er, two years.
1:25:09 > 1:25:11And it doesn't feel like a day!
1:25:58 > 1:26:01Hello, Charles.
1:26:07 > 1:26:09Did you know I was on the boat?
1:26:11 > 1:26:13If I said no, you wouldn't believe me.
1:26:19 > 1:26:22You're married now.
1:26:22 > 1:26:23Yes.
1:26:27 > 1:26:30You haven't changed at all.
1:26:30 > 1:26:32Neither have you.
1:26:36 > 1:26:39- How ridiculous! - Yes, isn't it?
1:26:42 > 1:26:46Tell me this is fate.
1:28:06 > 1:28:08- What? - Nothing.
1:28:08 > 1:28:10Tell me.
1:28:10 > 1:28:13I was thinking about Sebastian.
1:28:13 > 1:28:16Mummy died without ever seeing him again.
1:28:21 > 1:28:23I know.
1:28:26 > 1:28:29- Let's go up on deck. - Are you sure?
1:28:29 > 1:28:32They're all asleep! Come on.
1:28:33 > 1:28:35LAUGHS
1:28:35 > 1:28:37Come on!
1:28:37 > 1:28:40(LAUGHS) Ssh!
1:28:47 > 1:28:49Sorry!
1:28:52 > 1:28:55- So, where's Rex? - I drowned him!
1:28:55 > 1:28:58Forgive me, Rex!
1:29:11 > 1:29:13- Lady Julia! Fancy meeting you here. - Mr Ryder.
1:29:13 > 1:29:17- Could I possibly get you a drink? - Dry martini, please.
1:29:17 > 1:29:21One dry martini, one whisky with water. Please, allow me.
1:29:24 > 1:29:26Hmm... BOTH CHUCKLE
1:29:30 > 1:29:33- So, why did you marry Rex? - Oh, I don't know.
1:29:33 > 1:29:36- Because he wasn't you. - Because he was rich.
1:29:36 > 1:29:40Because he was Catholic. Because Mummy approved,
1:29:40 > 1:29:42God rest her soul.
1:29:42 > 1:29:46- I thought he was my painted savage. - Hmm!
1:29:46 > 1:29:49It turns out he was thoroughly up to date.
1:29:52 > 1:29:56- Thank you.- No more talk about Rex. He's in England.
1:30:04 > 1:30:07Do you have children?
1:30:07 > 1:30:09No.
1:30:09 > 1:30:11No.
1:30:13 > 1:30:17- What will you tell your wife? - Wait until London.
1:30:17 > 1:30:22I have a viewing to arrange. I'll sort it out. It'll be fine.
1:30:22 > 1:30:25- Where shall we go? - Somewhere abroad, like Daddy.
1:30:25 > 1:30:28- What about Italy? Capri? - Antibes.
1:30:28 > 1:30:30- Seville. - Verona.- Paris.
1:30:30 > 1:30:32- Brideshead. - (LAUGHS) No!
1:30:32 > 1:30:35Why not? It's the loveliest place on earth.
1:30:35 > 1:30:38I can't go back there, not after this.
1:30:38 > 1:30:42- Nonsense. We've nothing to apologise for.- No!
1:30:43 > 1:30:47- Rex is there.- Leave it to me. I'll settle things with Rex.
1:30:49 > 1:30:51I'll settle everything.
1:30:54 > 1:30:57- Trust me. - (LAUGHS) I do!
1:30:59 > 1:31:02- And stop worrying. - I will.
1:31:21 > 1:31:23Mr and Mrs Ryder?
1:31:24 > 1:31:28Look! That's the Duke and Duchess of Clarence.
1:31:28 > 1:31:31- They want to buy one. - How very gracious of them!
1:31:33 > 1:31:38Make an effort, Charles. I've got you the cream of Mayfair.
1:31:43 > 1:31:45Charles!
1:31:45 > 1:31:47How charming you look!
1:31:49 > 1:31:51Anthony!
1:31:51 > 1:31:55I heard, quite by chance, that you were having an exhibition,
1:31:55 > 1:31:58so I dashed impetuously to the shrine to pay homage.
1:31:58 > 1:32:00Where are the pictures?
1:32:02 > 1:32:04Let me explain them to you.
1:32:05 > 1:32:08MURMUR OF POLITE CONVERSATION
1:32:14 > 1:32:18This is simply charm - simple English creamy charm,
1:32:18 > 1:32:21playing tigers.
1:32:23 > 1:32:27But enough of art. They tell me you're happy in love,
1:32:27 > 1:32:32and that is everything, isn't it? Or... nearly everything.
1:32:32 > 1:32:36Everyone's talking about it. So, it's Julia now.
1:32:36 > 1:32:39And it used to be Sebastian.
1:32:39 > 1:32:41Do you think I should warn her?
1:32:41 > 1:32:43Warn her about what?
1:32:43 > 1:32:49How apropos that you should have chosen j-j-jungles for your canvas.
1:32:50 > 1:32:53I always thought you the lamb to be slaughtered,
1:32:53 > 1:32:57when, all along, it is they who are to be hunted.
1:32:57 > 1:33:00There really is no end to your hunger,
1:33:00 > 1:33:02is there, Charles?
1:33:19 > 1:33:22- Why do I feel so nervous? - Don't be.
1:33:27 > 1:33:30Who are all these people?
1:33:30 > 1:33:34Politicians. Money men. Rex thinks there's a war coming with Hitler.
1:33:34 > 1:33:37He wants to do well out of it. It's all he talks about.
1:33:37 > 1:33:40- Hello, Julia. - Hello, Rex.
1:33:40 > 1:33:43- Good evening, Rex.- Mr Ryder! Welcome back to Brideshead.
1:33:43 > 1:33:47- I hear you're making quite a name for yourself.- Could we talk?
1:33:47 > 1:33:50Later. I have guests.
1:33:55 > 1:33:58It's cold.
1:34:03 > 1:34:05Not here!
1:34:08 > 1:34:11- Sorry. - Let's go back to London.
1:34:11 > 1:34:14- Let me settle everything with Rex. - And then we'll leave.
1:34:14 > 1:34:16Yes?
1:34:16 > 1:34:18- Charles! - Yes.
1:34:18 > 1:34:21If that's what you want.
1:34:25 > 1:34:27LAUGHS
1:34:32 > 1:34:35- Hello, Bridey! - Oh, hello, Julia.
1:34:35 > 1:34:38- Just up from London? - Yes.
1:34:38 > 1:34:41Welcome back to Brideshead, Charles. How's your family?
1:34:41 > 1:34:44Fine, thank you.
1:34:44 > 1:34:48- Rex still entertaining? - He's got business.
1:34:49 > 1:34:54Ah! I'm sorry he's not here. I have a little announcement to make.
1:34:54 > 1:34:57- Well, come on. Out with it! - I'm engaged to be married.
1:34:57 > 1:35:02- Congratulations, Bridey! - Wh-... Who is she?
1:35:02 > 1:35:04- Oh, no-one you know. - Is she pretty?
1:35:04 > 1:35:08I don't think you could exactly call her pretty.
1:35:08 > 1:35:11"Comely" is the word I think of in her connection.
1:35:11 > 1:35:14- She is a big woman. - Fat?
1:35:14 > 1:35:18No, big. She's called Mrs Muspratt. Her Christian name is Beryl.
1:35:18 > 1:35:22- But, Bridey, where did you find her? - Her late husband, Admiral Muspratt,
1:35:22 > 1:35:26- collected matchboxes.- You're not marrying her for her matchboxes?!
1:35:26 > 1:35:29- CHUCKLES QUIETLY - No, no.
1:35:29 > 1:35:33The matchboxes were left to the library. I'm just holding them.
1:35:33 > 1:35:37- Why are you laughing? - I hope you'll be very happy.
1:35:37 > 1:35:40Thank you. I think I'm very fortunate.
1:35:40 > 1:35:43You sly old thing! When are we going to meet her?
1:35:43 > 1:35:46- You must bring her here. - I couldn't.- Why not?
1:35:46 > 1:35:49Beryl is a woman of strict Catholic principle,
1:35:49 > 1:35:52fortified by the prejudices of the middle classes.
1:35:52 > 1:35:57- I couldn't possibly bring her here. - I don't understand.
1:35:57 > 1:36:01It may be a matter of indifference to you that you live in sin,
1:36:01 > 1:36:04but on no account would Beryl consent to be your guest.
1:36:04 > 1:36:08How dare you talk to her like that?
1:36:10 > 1:36:12Bloody offensive thing to say!
1:36:12 > 1:36:16There was nothing she could object to. I was merely stating a fact
1:36:16 > 1:36:18well known to her.
1:36:37 > 1:36:39Take no notice of him, my darling.
1:36:42 > 1:36:45So! Got you.
1:36:45 > 1:36:48Sorry about the delay.
1:36:48 > 1:36:51I'll be outside.
1:37:02 > 1:37:06The door? Door's made from all the works of Dickens.
1:37:06 > 1:37:11- I had it installed especially. Want one?- No, thank you.
1:37:15 > 1:37:17I know what you're thinking.
1:37:22 > 1:37:25How vulgar can I get? You wanna know a secret?
1:37:29 > 1:37:34I do it on purpose! It amuses me to offend their delicate sensibilities.
1:37:36 > 1:37:38So, you wanna take my wife off me...
1:37:38 > 1:37:42You know she can't marry a divorcee, right?
1:37:42 > 1:37:45- Against the rules. - At least she'll be free of you.
1:37:45 > 1:37:48- She'll never be free. - Don't pretend you've been faithful.
1:37:48 > 1:37:53Who said I had? I bet you'd love to get your hands on the house, though.
1:37:53 > 1:37:58All those pretty paintings, all those pretty views...
1:37:58 > 1:38:00Let her go, Rex. You never loved her.
1:38:00 > 1:38:03The only thing you ever had in common was religion.
1:38:03 > 1:38:07I wasn't a Catholic. I converted before the wedding.
1:38:09 > 1:38:13- Bet she didn't tell you that. - I guessed.
1:38:13 > 1:38:15Oh, yeah?
1:38:15 > 1:38:17You're the type.
1:38:22 > 1:38:25You people...
1:38:25 > 1:38:27You never learn.
1:38:29 > 1:38:33You could have had it all, if you'd been a little more flexible.
1:38:33 > 1:38:37They wanted a Catholic. I converted. It's a great religion.
1:38:37 > 1:38:40You sin all you want, then you confess. Problem solved.
1:38:40 > 1:38:45You've got to woo these people. This family don't live in the real world.
1:38:45 > 1:38:49- They're mortgaged up to the hilt. - Get to the point.
1:38:55 > 1:38:58You want my wife? Make me an offer.
1:38:58 > 1:39:02- I'm not just giving her away. - Don't do this. It's demeaning.
1:39:04 > 1:39:07Try a little harder.
1:39:07 > 1:39:10You're a rich man. You've already got what you want.
1:39:10 > 1:39:13You can never have enough of what you want.
1:39:17 > 1:39:19Nah, you're right.
1:39:19 > 1:39:23You're taking her off my hands. That's a favour.
1:39:23 > 1:39:25I'll tell you what I'll do.
1:39:25 > 1:39:30You give me a couple of your jungle pics,
1:39:30 > 1:39:33and I'll give you an annulment. I hear you're worth collecting.
1:39:38 > 1:39:42Come on, Charlie-boy. Say yes. You know you want to.
1:39:44 > 1:39:47You don't have to speak.
1:39:49 > 1:39:52Just nod.
1:40:08 > 1:40:12My driver will take me to London. He'll pick up the paintings.
1:40:21 > 1:40:25You know she's mad? Can't even give you children.
1:40:27 > 1:40:29Lost the only one we had.
1:40:31 > 1:40:34RETREATING FOOTSTEPS
1:40:48 > 1:40:50Julia?
1:41:08 > 1:41:11I'm so sorry. I didn't know.
1:41:13 > 1:41:15- It's just a shock. - Ssh.
1:41:15 > 1:41:17Ssh. Don't.
1:41:19 > 1:41:22I've always known, ever since nursery.
1:41:23 > 1:41:27I tried to be good. I really did. I married Rex.
1:41:28 > 1:41:31All through the backgammon and cigars, I tried.
1:41:31 > 1:41:33But it's not enough.
1:41:33 > 1:41:36It's never enough.
1:41:36 > 1:41:38God had to punish me.
1:41:39 > 1:41:45So he took my little stillborn... My child. My girl.
1:41:45 > 1:41:49With you, I thought I could really and truly be free.
1:41:49 > 1:41:52But coming back here, it's like a thread,
1:41:52 > 1:41:56an invisible thread, drawing you back, inch by inch,
1:41:56 > 1:41:59until, all of a sudden, you're a child again,
1:41:59 > 1:42:03and that voice inside your head, the one that Mummy planted
1:42:03 > 1:42:06all those years ago, every night in the nursery,
1:42:06 > 1:42:10filling your head with it, and the voice is whispering,
1:42:10 > 1:42:13"Wicked little Julia! Bad little girl, living in sin!"
1:42:13 > 1:42:17- And here I am again with you, living in sin!- Ssh...
1:42:18 > 1:42:21It's over. It's over now. SOBS
1:42:27 > 1:42:29SOBS
1:42:40 > 1:42:43- Everything set? - That's everything, sir.
1:42:43 > 1:42:46- Thank you, Wilcox. - Best of luck, sir.
1:43:09 > 1:43:11Who's that?
1:43:15 > 1:43:18Go back! Turn around. I have to go back.
1:43:20 > 1:43:23- Staff, immediately. - Yes, sir.
1:43:23 > 1:43:26Come on, quickly, now!
1:43:33 > 1:43:35Hurry, hurry!
1:43:35 > 1:43:39- The sedan chair! - Very gently, very gently.- Argh!
1:43:40 > 1:43:43- Hurry, hurry! - Get a move on!
1:43:43 > 1:43:47- Come along, come along! - Have you got the wrap?
1:43:49 > 1:43:51- Hup! - Gently...
1:43:51 > 1:43:53Can I have the medical bag?
1:43:57 > 1:43:59- Father! - Oh, dear Julia!
1:43:59 > 1:44:02Come on, please. Come on!
1:44:10 > 1:44:14I'm sorry. I was to call, but we've been travelling without stop.
1:44:14 > 1:44:18- It was Cordelia. She was visiting us in Venice...- What happened?
1:44:19 > 1:44:24His heart. Some long word... at the heart.
1:44:26 > 1:44:29He's dying. He has come home to die.
1:44:34 > 1:44:37- That's it. Chop-chop. - (WILCOX)- Come along!
1:44:37 > 1:44:41We must get Lord Marchmain to the great dining room.
1:44:56 > 1:44:59He's sleeping.
1:45:00 > 1:45:04- Should we let Sebastian know? - We could, but I doubt he'd come.
1:45:04 > 1:45:08The last I heard of him, he's still struggling rather.
1:45:08 > 1:45:11The monks have him as a porter in the hospital in Morocco.
1:45:11 > 1:45:15He seems to like it. They've taken him under their wing,
1:45:15 > 1:45:17dear old thing. Still,...
1:45:19 > 1:45:21..salvation of a sort.
1:45:21 > 1:45:24Bridey, you need to call for a priest.
1:45:24 > 1:45:27I'll ask Father McKay to drop in this evening.
1:45:27 > 1:45:31Julia, your father doesn't want a priest.
1:45:31 > 1:45:33What he wants is to die in his old home.
1:45:33 > 1:45:39Our father's soul,... all sinners' souls... face mortal danger.
1:45:39 > 1:45:42It is our duty, as Catholics,
1:45:42 > 1:45:46to do all in our power to save those we love from themselves.
1:46:26 > 1:46:28Hateful woman!
1:46:28 > 1:46:31She wants me dead.
1:46:33 > 1:46:38What about you? Do you want me dead?
1:46:38 > 1:46:40No.
1:46:47 > 1:46:50You know the family are sending for a priest?
1:46:50 > 1:46:54They seem determined to drag God into it.
1:46:54 > 1:46:57Why should you care?
1:46:57 > 1:46:59You don't believe in God.
1:47:01 > 1:47:03You said so yourself.
1:47:04 > 1:47:08Have you suddenly become my conscience?
1:47:08 > 1:47:11I've already seen Sebastian ruined by God.
1:47:11 > 1:47:15I don't see why I should watch it happen again
1:47:15 > 1:47:17with your daughter.
1:47:18 > 1:47:21How very caring of you!
1:47:21 > 1:47:24You forget I was there.
1:47:25 > 1:47:28I watched that woman crucify my son,
1:47:28 > 1:47:30little by little,
1:47:30 > 1:47:33and I was silent.
1:47:33 > 1:47:36What does that say about me?

1:47:39 > 1:47:42But are we not also our brother's keeper?
1:47:42 > 1:47:45You, Charles,
1:47:45 > 1:47:47and me?
1:47:48 > 1:47:51I let Sebastian down.

1:48:12 > 1:48:15Oh, dear, no. That's too many. Your father needs to rest.
1:48:15 > 1:48:19- Get him away. - It's Father McKay.- Get him away!
1:48:19 > 1:48:22- GET HIM AWAY! (COUGHS) - Everybody out!
1:48:22 > 1:48:25Out, out, out!
1:48:25 > 1:48:28- I'm so sorry, Father. - Oh, not at all.
1:48:28 > 1:48:32Give him time. I've known worse cases make beautiful deaths.
1:48:36 > 1:48:39What were you talking to my father about?
1:48:43 > 1:48:45He doesn't want a priest.
1:48:47 > 1:48:49Please, Charles.
1:48:49 > 1:48:53- Please don't interfere with matters that don't concern you.- Julia!
1:48:57 > 1:49:00Let's get out of here. We'll go to Italy.
1:49:02 > 1:49:04- Capri. - I can't leave now.
1:49:04 > 1:49:06My father's dying.
1:49:06 > 1:49:10When this is over, I can make you happy.
1:49:24 > 1:49:28- Why should I believe you? - Believe me.
1:49:28 > 1:49:30You just bought me from Rex.
1:49:34 > 1:49:37What are you talking about?
1:49:37 > 1:49:40According to you, I'm worth two pictures.
1:49:42 > 1:49:45I thought I'd fetch at least three.
1:49:47 > 1:49:49Don't be ridiculous.
1:49:50 > 1:49:54- That was Rex. - You agreed to it, Charles.
1:49:54 > 1:49:56- I had no choice. - You agreed!
1:49:56 > 1:49:59I was doing what you wanted.
1:49:59 > 1:50:03No! You thought you were getting me and the house together.
1:50:03 > 1:50:06- Is that really what you think? - You tell me. Please.
1:50:06 > 1:50:09What does Charles Ryder really want?
1:50:28 > 1:50:31Can you imagine what it was like for me,
1:50:31 > 1:50:34to be invited into Brideshead?
1:50:35 > 1:50:37Me,
1:50:37 > 1:50:39Charles Ryder.
1:50:41 > 1:50:44A painter from Paddington, as your mother so sweetly put it.
1:50:44 > 1:50:48There was no humiliation I would not have endured
1:50:48 > 1:50:51just to be part of that dream.
1:50:51 > 1:50:53And your mother...
1:50:53 > 1:50:56That woman is more alive now than she ever was.
1:50:56 > 1:51:00She's in every brick, every stone,
1:51:00 > 1:51:02every slate.
1:51:05 > 1:51:08Sebastian was right.
1:51:14 > 1:51:16We should run away.
1:51:20 > 1:51:23- Why did you bring me here? - We can still leave.

1:56:02 > 1:56:05But... you're not coming with me.
1:56:10 > 1:56:13I can't shut myself off from His mercy.
1:56:16 > 1:56:18Can you understand that?
1:56:20 > 1:56:24I don't want to make it... easier for you.
