00:04:15Where's your car in America? How did you get here? I walked from where? Oh
00:04:23It's this what you're looking for sure is I think I'm entitled to an explanation miss
00:04:30Miss
00:04:33What were you doing on my wall any particular reason
00:04:37Hey
00:04:41Just put me down as a nosy American tourist, can I have a lift not a plaything for an aristocratic bully
00:05:07Oh, thank you very much
00:05:13You
00:05:35My dearest daughter
00:05:38one last request
00:05:41Try to deliver this letter for me
00:05:46If Lord Breeden is still alive
00:05:50Put it into his own hands
00:05:54Be sure you give it to nobody else
00:05:59And if he too is dead
00:06:03Destroy it
00:06:06All your life
00:06:09You've been such a friend and comfort to me
00:06:14Bless you my baby. I
00:06:18Know you'll do this last thing for me if you can
00:06:27You're a loving mom
00:06:38You
00:07:08Oh
00:07:18No, you don't
00:07:21Don't what?
00:07:22Invite you to dinner
00:07:24Surely cat burgling makes a girl hungry. And how did you find me?
00:07:28Miss Casey Cantrell, this is hardly London. So Annie tells me you're from Kentucky
00:07:33Oh, she does does she I bet she just gives you full run of the place
00:07:38Oh, it's a small friendly world. If you live out here downright feudal one if you ask me, oh, please
00:07:44Allow me
00:07:53Mr. Breeden Michael, please. Let me pass Michael
00:07:59Michael
00:08:01Thank you
00:08:02After all, we're hardly strangers only a couple of hours ago. We were in each other's arms. What do you want?
00:08:07I want to know what you want. I
00:08:16Want to go eat
00:08:21All right, then you're a journalist sniffing out scandals among the English nobility
00:08:27What
00:08:31Why don't you tell me you've been staring at me hard enough the past two hours
00:08:37Why did you let me take you to dinner I
00:08:40Was hungry. I
00:08:42Won't do I suspect an ulterior motive
00:08:46I've got no intentions of going to bed with you
00:08:50Not at the moment. No
00:08:52You're after something quite different, but you're not very skilled deception
00:08:58So, what is it?
00:09:01What do you do in Kentucky have a small farm I
00:09:06Train and board horses. It's bluegrass country thoroughbreds. I
00:09:11Train them for pleasure riding
00:09:14and no
00:09:15men in your life
00:09:17Now if you knew the first thing about taking care of horses, you'd know there's no spare time
00:09:22You're staring at me again, I wonder why
00:09:32I have my hand back, please
00:09:42What intrigues me is here you are an American tourist
00:09:46Touching down in the land of your forefathers and where do you go to first the Tower of London?
00:09:50You make Breedon Hall your prime objective, and it's not even in the guidebooks
00:09:54Now that I find distinctly odd. Well, we Americans can be quite original
00:10:00Did you know that?
00:10:02Look, how about paying a formal visit to Breedon Hall tomorrow morning?
00:10:06I
00:10:08Would like a cup of coffee
00:10:10Look how about paying a formal visit to Breedon Hall tomorrow morning? I
00:10:15Would like you to come I'll have a surprise for you
00:10:31It's all this yours, yep, it's beautiful
00:10:40Oh
00:10:56Hi there morning, miss
00:11:02Oh
00:11:07Morning Dan good morning, sir
00:11:10You'll note how Miss Contreras made a beeline for our top statement. Oh
00:11:13This is Dan McGuire my headroom
00:11:17You must be your pride and joy three times winner at Ascot placed in the Derby
00:11:23Wow
00:11:25The red shadow himself come to collect the best Billy we've had for ten years
00:11:32Morning boarding bridges listening to Swan Lake
00:11:41Oh
00:11:44Michael
00:11:47I've come to take that troublesome Philly off your hands. He's a perfect Philly and you know it. How are you?
00:11:53I'm very happy to see you as always
00:11:56and your lovely companion
00:11:59Casey Cantrell and Annelle Dubai not to be taken seriously an
00:12:04inexpressible pleasure miss Cantrell
00:12:10Hi, I'll do Hamden. Why don't we go to the house? I'm sure we're all ready for a coffee a
00:12:18Two week vacation, but how can you possibly see England in only two weeks?
00:12:24It's all the time I can spare
00:12:26Well, I can't allow Michael to monopolize you. You must come and visit me at my house. It's the other side of London
00:12:33Stockbroker country not real old
00:12:36England
00:12:38And what is Breedon Hall a magnificent warehouse for antiques if it were mine
00:12:44I should fill it with wives and children, but Michael fails in his dynastic duty in his Cantrell. I
00:12:50shall buy it I
00:12:54See it as a health bar
00:12:57very profitable
00:12:59You know a job currency my father of that, but what use is it to Richard he never comes here
00:13:04Your father lives someplace else yes
00:13:07In London, which is where you should be miss Cantrell charming as this rural backwater may be
00:13:13I'm driving back this afternoon. Why don't you let me take you away from all this?
00:13:20Well, I should be getting back
00:13:22Yes, I'd love a ride. Thanks
00:13:26Excellent well Hamden will be busy with Dan McGuire to lunchtime that gives us a couple of hours
00:13:34Oh
00:13:46In a good on a horse not really about looking good now is it I'll rephrase that you ride very well damn, right I do
00:13:56And Maurice too
00:14:04Oh
00:14:20That was great
00:14:25Why do you suddenly have to back in London
00:14:27There's some things I need to do that can't wait
00:14:31Like coming to Breedon Hall couldn't wait yesterday
00:14:35I just have to get back
00:14:42And in the holidays he'd invite me down to Breedon Hall
00:14:46Through University our second-class honours degrees and first-class romantic escapades to our present
00:14:54rivalry and love and enterprise
00:14:56I've always been extremely fond of Michael
00:15:00Then you must know Lord Breedon very well, oh, he's like a second father to me
00:15:05What does he do?
00:15:07my dear miss Cantrell
00:15:09Men like Lord Breedon don't do
00:15:13They control
00:15:14We're business associates sometimes sometimes rivals. We both enjoy the world of finance
00:15:20Although I do think Richard Breedon takes it to extremes
00:15:25He very rarely leaves his offices in half-moon Square
00:15:29I
00:15:59Do
00:16:06Try to deliver this letter for me
00:16:10If Lord Breedon is still alive
00:16:14Put it into his own hands
00:16:17Look, maybe if I just spoke to his secretary personally
00:16:21We really can't let you upstairs without first knowing your business. I just want to give this letter to Lord Green
00:16:28Fact that I don't live there is irrelevant. I still have a say in what happens at Breedon Hall
00:16:33You don't but I still need your signature
00:16:36Obviously, when do you want to see me for anything else? Excuse me? I intend to go ahead regardless. I think you'll find that rather difficult
00:16:42Lord Breedon
00:16:44You are Lord Breedon
00:16:46Just see my wife to her car. Would you sir Lord Richard breathe? Yes
00:16:50I've got a letter for you. I'm Casey Cantrell Cantrell. Yes. I just came over from the state. Cantrell
00:16:58Yes
00:17:00Perhaps you knew my mother Jessie. I
00:17:04Don't think so
00:17:06Jessie Cantrell
00:17:09The name means nothing to me
00:17:12But Lord Breedon this letter is clearly addressed to you
00:17:16It was my mother's dying wish that I give you this letter
00:17:28I'm sorry. I didn't mean to give you such a shock
00:17:34I'm afraid you have the wrong man this Cantrell
00:17:41Good afternoon, but Lord Breedon if you just look at the letter you could see that
00:17:57I
00:18:28Hello
00:18:32Yes
00:18:37Thank you, it was such a surprise or not what you'd expect from a
00:18:41What was it an arrogant overbearing aristocratic bully?
00:18:46Really call you that and a gorilla
00:18:50Well, you were being a bit aggressive
00:18:53In case you don't remember. I
00:18:55remember holding you
00:18:58The flowers are lovely. Should I describe them Casey? Are you busy tomorrow?
00:19:07No, well, I have to go to London to the office I should be through a minute afternoon could we meet then
00:19:14Sure, yeah great
00:19:18Good look, I'll telephone you when I know time
00:19:23Bye
00:19:27You
00:19:43It was my mother's dying wish that I give you this letter I'm afraid you have the wrong man this can't show
00:19:55Hold me Richard, please
00:19:57I love you
00:20:28Oh
00:20:39Hello miss Casey Cantrell's room, please
00:20:49Hello
00:20:52Hi
00:20:54You promised me you'd have lunch on my yacht today I did
00:20:59Funny I don't remember saying that no, but I'm sure you meant
00:21:05Yes, thank you, I'd love to
00:21:11Our fording bridge sir, I shall need the car just after midday. Ah, yes, sir. That'll be miss Cantrell. I'll arrange the lunch
00:21:24Hi there good morning one minute Oh
00:21:29Miss Cantrell, there's a call for you on the center phone
00:21:37Hello
00:21:40Michael hi the office here is in a terrible state of shock
00:21:49In fact, I now have time for a decent lunch break
00:21:51Oh
00:21:53I'm sorry, Michael. I have other plans. I thought you didn't know anyone in London
00:21:58Well, it's only Hamden. He's invited me to lunch on his yacht. Oh, oh
00:22:04Well, that's all right. I'll see you later. Bye
00:22:14Too late
00:22:16Anyway another glass and maybe you'll tell me more about yourself. There really isn't anything else to tell
00:22:23You must miss your mother very much I'd miss her more I guess if I didn't feel
00:22:30She was right here beside me every moment of the day
00:22:35She's the reason I'm here
00:22:38You
00:22:43So Michael has an apartment here you said yes in that block over there. Oh
00:22:51It is odd, isn't it how often Michael comes up in our conversation
00:22:57This father must be disappointed
00:22:59Not to have a line of heirs and successors like you were saying the other day at Breedon Hall
00:23:04Well, Michael has always enjoyed the company of women
00:23:08He's never been able to bring himself to somehow
00:23:11wholly trust one
00:23:13He thinks of some devious and calculating woman lying in wait for him
00:23:34I
00:23:37Know Casey. Hello Hamden. Sorry
00:23:45Chicken Oh and then, you know, I don't like chicken. Yes, I do but I didn't invite you to lunch
00:23:54Oh, but I'm sure that you meant I
00:23:57Took the liberty of preparing salmon for you. Thank you for the bridge. Very thoughtful
00:24:04How do you like his little boat? It's perfect
00:24:08You like the house, too. I'm giving a party tonight Michaels coming but we'll have an attractive escort
00:24:14I'm sure as I the poor host have none. Won't you take pity on me? You will enjoy yourself. I
00:24:21Really don't have anything to wear to a party. There's this little shop in Knightsbridge
00:24:26We could drive over afterwards if you like Hamdan behave yourself as it happens
00:24:31I have no attractive escort. Whereas Bluebeard here probably has dozens. I'd be delighted if you'd come with me
00:24:36Well, I understand that you managed to persuade my father to come to your party, of course
00:24:41My parties are not to be missed
00:24:43Will you come with me? I'd love to
00:24:55Come down don't you find there are some days when nothing seems to go, right?
00:25:01I
00:25:09Don't show us mon ami
00:25:32You
00:25:37Thank You Fortinbridge a pleasure
00:25:48Please accept this in the spirit with which it's given it would just make me very happy to see you wear it tonight
00:26:01Oh
00:26:31Oh
00:26:38Perfection. Oh, I know but you gotta let me pay you back for this. Can't you accept a gift graciously?
00:26:45Not from someone. I just met there are no strings attached. I don't have to bribe
00:26:52I am NOT your woman
00:26:55Who chose it?
00:26:56An old friend stop fussing. We'll be late for this party
00:27:01No agreement
00:27:03No party
00:27:07Don't be ridiculous
00:27:11The pleasure of seeing you where it is payment enough
00:27:32Oh
00:27:35Okay, fine you win, okay
00:27:39Where did you get this?
00:27:41Mothers, oh sure
00:27:44What do you mean sure or not?
00:27:47This is very special to her. She wore it as long as I can remember. I'm sorry
00:27:52It's just it's very similar to our family crest reminds me of it. Let's go
00:28:01Oh
00:28:31Oh
00:28:38Please I'm flagging
00:28:49How can you pack so much food such a frail little boy
00:28:54Let's do my metabolism
00:28:57I
00:28:58Anyway, I figure if I eat well, then the champagne will not go to my head
00:29:05No, no, you don't you are far too conceited to share the credit of my seduction with a glass or two of the old bubbly
00:29:17Let me go there
00:29:26I
00:29:56I
00:30:26I
00:30:57I
00:31:10Should good party
00:31:21Michael
00:31:23father
00:31:24May I introduce you to Casey Cantrell, how did you meet this young woman?
00:31:29What form of blackmail she has in mind but get rid of that blackmail whatever she says to you can be done sure
00:31:35She's lying father. What is this? You already tried it on me
00:31:39Yesterday afternoon Lord Braden. Can I do you know my father Michael? Will you explain yourself Casey Michael?
00:31:45You're hurting me get out of my sight Michael
00:31:49Look, I just want to come with me
00:31:54Oh
00:32:13Plan was it? No, it wasn't Michael. I wanted to tell you but you better start explaining now Michael
00:32:24I
00:32:34Needed to see him I had to why to give him a letter ask you for money
00:32:38No, and I was just another means to an end. No, I
00:32:44Just I needed your help to get the letter to him. I'll believe what you want. How far were you prepared to go to get?
00:32:51What you want?
00:32:54I
00:33:12Shall never do that
00:33:24I need you to listen to me
00:33:54I
00:34:24I
00:34:47Yes
00:34:54Oh
00:35:24I
00:35:38Love you
00:35:43Doesn't matter I love you. I shall never feel like this again about anyone ever
00:35:54Oh
00:36:24I
00:36:31Young woman find out about it Richard I
00:36:35Don't understand this but Casey is here as my kid. I don't care find out about it
00:36:41Spend some time with her
00:36:44Under normal circumstances would be a pleasure
00:36:48She's very attractive. You've stolen his women before and he's stolen mine. It's a game. No one gets hurt
00:36:55This time I suspect it's not a game for Michael certainly a game for her. I think you're wrong
00:37:03I very much doubt it
00:37:22Thanks Gary
00:37:25Oh
00:37:29My god my bag
00:37:31I think I left it behind
00:37:32we
00:37:34Were dancing and I put it down and you grabbed me and I okay see
00:37:42Michael
00:37:45It has a letter to your father in it well, I'll phone Hamden don't worry. Well, yes, but I said don't worry
00:37:54My mother gave it to me. I know he recognized it
00:37:59No, it is the family crest and I have seen this before
00:38:03There's a portrait in the library Breedon Hall of my great-grandma wearing a pendant very similar
00:38:09Michael what if your father gave this necklace to my mother?
00:38:14It's not the sort of thing you just give away
00:38:18How else would she have come by it? I
00:38:22Think they knew each other
00:38:24I think they knew each other very well
00:38:48Say again
00:38:55How I long for that
00:39:02You are here with me just as close as can be
00:39:10Say
00:39:13Again

00:39:45There will come an end
00:39:49these dark
00:39:52We will walk again beneath the stars
00:39:59Our love will be

00:48:32Can assure you fording bridge has guarded your property with a devotion. He scarcely gives to my know how I could. Thank you
00:48:40Casey I'd like to help. Oh
00:48:43Let's see
00:48:44Unless you can help me find the Duke of Argyle. Oh, it's a Duke now is it?
00:48:50It's a pub near Windsor excellent, we'll take a picnic on the river
00:48:55Oh
00:49:12Hamden this is glory
00:49:17If only what nothing if only Michael were here
00:49:26Thank you
00:49:32Casey
00:49:34For years. I have known Lord Breedon as the most urbane and civilized of English
00:49:41Without extreme provocation. He would never never make a scene in public. That's his problem. I
00:49:49Haven't got any secrets
00:49:52But
00:49:54I tend to think he might
00:49:57Well, let's hope you're all the lovely things you seem to be
00:50:00but remember
00:50:02I'm devoted to Michael
00:50:06Anyone upsetting his apple cart would have me to reckon with me to Hamden. I'd be right there before the apples hit the sidewalk
00:50:18Come in Michael
00:50:21I
00:50:32Want to talk to you about last night and Casey
00:50:37Didn't do what I asked he didn't get rid of them. No
00:50:41Why not?
00:50:44Several reasons
00:50:47One being that I'd never before known you to be so unreasonable
00:50:51Just for once Michael don't ask any questions, please do as I ask
00:50:56No questions dad
00:51:01Not how could Casey blackmail you
00:51:08Not how did her mother get our family pendant
00:51:16Please go away Michael
00:51:21I
00:51:38Shall wear this to keep you safe
00:51:41Loving you will keep me safe. I
00:51:45Couldn't bear to lose you too
00:51:52Jess I
00:51:58Can't go through it all again Richard
00:52:04You won't have to
00:52:09We'll see each other whenever I can get to London I
00:52:19Think not knowing is the worst part
00:52:21Not knowing if you're safe in England or out of a Germany
00:52:26Hold me Richard
00:52:36Please come back safely. I promise
00:52:52Oh
00:52:54Sir, oh well done fording bridge
00:53:13So that's Billy Cooper, yes, it is nice landlady
00:53:18She
00:53:19Seems to have known Miss Cantrell's mother many years ago
00:53:23Though I did think that Miss Cantrell's mother never visited
00:53:30I can't believe my mom was here during the war
00:53:34Just don't know why she never told me she and Frank have been married no more than a week
00:53:38Then he was posted to Europe. So Jesse ups packs her frocks comes to London to be near him
00:53:44That she sees much of him it's a very hush-hush mission
00:53:49They were dropped behind enemy lines, so that's when dad was so badly wounded
00:53:56We're all so bloody young then
00:54:00Planting explosives in the dark I ask you
00:54:04your dad
00:54:05Would have been all right if he hadn't tried to save my Joe
00:54:10bad it was
00:54:12Can't have been much of him left worth saving for love
00:54:19So, what did my mom do while she was here all the time
00:54:23She wangled her way over as a singer. She sang with some of the big bands
00:54:28Singer yes, and she was good Casey. She was very good
00:54:33when
00:54:35When the mission went wrong
00:54:37She thought your dad was dead
00:54:43George I'd like you to run a check on someone for me Casey Cantrell
00:54:50American Morrow, Kentucky, she breeds and trains horses
00:54:55Apparently here on holiday
00:54:58I'm mainly her past background family contacts that sort of thing
00:55:04Anything you can find particularly what she may be doing here apart from having a holiday
00:55:11There was a bloke your ma liked a lot. He's in the RAF
00:55:16Remember the first time we saw he couldn't take his eyes off her
00:55:20He came into the half-moon club with this snooty bit
00:55:24Emily
00:55:25Lady Emily if anyone spoke out of turn I
00:55:29Remember her because your ma shared a flat with her for a few months
00:55:33trouble was
00:55:35Emily's bloke was more interested in your ma than her
00:55:38Do you think my mother and this Air Force officer were
00:55:44Close
00:55:46Didn't do to ask too many questions in those days. We took our comfort where we could find it. I don't know what was going on
00:55:56Richard that's right. His name was Richard
00:56:07Oh
00:56:20Bombs away
00:56:37I
00:57:04Dream
00:57:08When
00:57:11At our old rendezvous
00:57:14I'll be holding you
00:57:19Safe in my arms again
00:57:31She's just coming off stage
00:57:37Mrs. Cantrell
00:57:47Richard no
00:58:01That telegram stunned her though, she was absolutely not back
00:58:05What did it say?
00:58:07But that your father was alive after all
00:58:10That he hadn't been killed at all
00:58:28No, wait boarding bridge is getting the umbrella for you. Oh doesn't matter. No. Thank you. Bye
00:58:37An exceptional young lady, sir
00:58:41Well, at least you had a good day dad was very hard work what's wrong
00:58:51And I tried to talk to him about you
00:58:55About your mother
00:58:57He won't listen
00:58:58You won't talk to me
00:59:01I hardly recognize him
00:59:07What's your dad in the air force
00:59:14What during the war
00:59:17Yep, why because I think I may have found an answer to some of our questions
00:59:28And if you're very good I might tell you what they are
00:59:38Come on old chap can hardly be classified information. The poor man's been dead for years
00:59:46Cantrell that's right. Frank. Theodore Cantrell
00:59:541944 I still can't imagine my mother on stage. Love can make a woman behave very hard
01:00:01but
01:00:02I found out that that
01:00:04RAF officer was your father
01:00:06He's not the type
01:00:08Fond as I am of the old boy. I can't imagine him betraying any romantic feelings whatsoever
01:00:13Love can make men behave oddly, too
01:00:23I'm not comfortable with this
01:00:25What I thought I knew my parents
01:00:29Now I find out
01:00:31That they're not at all what they seem to be
01:00:34So, where does that leave me?
01:00:37Here
01:00:39Where you belong
01:00:49I envy you, you know
01:00:52Why
01:00:54When you talk about your mother
01:00:57I never
01:00:59Really knew what was wrong between my mother and father
01:01:02I suppose in the end there just wasn't enough love
01:01:05Any love it seemed sometimes I guess I always knew my parents loved me
01:01:12I'd want that for my children
01:01:18Oh, I guess I better get some salad I can see I'm gonna go bankrupt feeding you
01:01:25My mother always used to tease me about my appetite
01:01:30I think that was an oblique way of asking you to marry me
01:01:37Casey
01:01:44I'm sorry. It wasn't a very romantic proposal, but I've now experienced you the first woman i've asked
01:01:50Are you sure?
01:01:52Of course i'm sure
01:01:54Oh, how can you be you don't because i've spent a very long time waiting for what most people seem to
01:02:00encounter so easily
01:02:02now at last
01:02:04Amazingly, it's happened
01:02:06I'm in love and I intend to marry you
01:02:10You will please you can't tear me down
01:02:14Yes
01:02:15I mean no
01:02:17I'll make you mine
01:02:20It is made up
01:02:22It's been made up
01:02:53Come in and see him with me
01:02:56I want him to read the letter first. It's the first time in six months. He's been to the hall
01:03:01He's bound to be in a good mood
01:03:03Give me a letter
01:03:06So
01:03:18Read it
01:03:19No, michael
01:03:21Why in heaven's name?
01:03:22Don't you just open it and find out what jesse control wanted you to know its contents have no interest for me
01:03:27Well, they do for me. I refuse to submit to blackmail. Stop talking about blackmail
01:03:33Casey looks on this letter as a as a sacred trust michael
01:03:37She's a tough little negotiator down on her lap. She's come across some old
01:03:41Secret and she thinks she can exploit it. Well, of course it's blackmail
01:03:45I refuse to have anything to do with her
01:03:50You were in love with jesse cantrell, weren't you?
01:03:52You
01:04:00You gave her great grandmother's pendant, can you deny that?
01:04:09Not you
01:04:16I did give that pendant to
01:04:19Mrs. Cantrell
01:04:22Because I believed that I knew her and that she was worthy of it
01:04:26Later on I found out that I didn't know her at all. She was absolutely worthless
01:04:35So you did love her
01:04:38I thought I did
01:04:40Certainly my intentions were serious
01:04:45But she broke every promise without a backward glance
01:04:48Anyway, she's dead now. So I mean it really doesn't matter at all. Whatever happened then however much it hurt you
01:04:56You can't let it cast a shadow when casey and I are married
01:05:02When you are what i've asked casey to marry me
01:05:05She slept with you. How dare you?
01:05:07My mother liked daughter. How dare you belittle our feelings when you don't even know casey
01:05:11She certainly wasted no time. Whatever you thought of jesse. Her daughter is as honest as the day michael
01:05:18You've known for years what marriage has been like for me
01:05:20I think that gives me the right to ask you to listen to me. How could you possibly understand?
01:05:23There's no point in talking about marriage with a man who's never been in love
01:05:47So
01:06:17So
01:06:37Well then sir
01:06:39Isn't it time you were home and dead
01:06:42You've been here quite a while. I'm, all right. Thank you
01:06:48So
01:06:58Are you waiting for someone sir
01:07:03I thought I was
01:07:18Oh
01:07:24Emily hello. I've been expecting you. Is jesse here? I'm, sorry richard. She's gone
01:07:32gone
01:07:35Where when my dear I really don't know when I came off duty she and her belongings had simply vanished
01:07:48She can't have just gone
01:07:51She couldn't do that
01:07:55Did she leave a note nothing
01:07:59Darling you look dreadful. You'd better come in
01:08:17So
01:08:28Thanks
01:08:39Get me back to town as quick as you can I hope
01:08:42I think she was telling the truth. She really does run a writings table on a modest income her daddy could to her needs
01:08:49She's quite credit worthy and she doesn't have a criminal record
01:08:55Whiskey please and according to a short obituary notice after her mother's death the family are held in high respect locally
01:09:07And the mother
01:09:10Tell me
01:09:12She was a tower of strength her absolute dedication to her late husband is recalled
01:09:18He was confined to a wheelchair
01:09:21her second husband
01:09:22her only husband
01:09:24frank theodore cantrell
01:09:27No, no, no, no check the data. I have checked it richard
01:09:33Her first husband was killed in france in 1943
01:09:351943
01:09:37Well, I know I mean I knew her
01:09:40She was a widow
01:09:41frank theodore cantrell
01:09:44Was reported dead after an exceptionally dangerous mission
01:09:48The resistance found him badly wounded
01:09:52They took him to a convent
01:09:53Where he was secretly nursed by nuns until it was safe to bring him back across the channel
01:09:58it was
01:10:00Some months before he was even identified
01:10:05And he was dead no he was left for dead
01:10:36You
01:10:38How long have I known you
01:10:4111 weeks and two days
01:10:46And today for the first time you love and no cares just sheer joy
01:10:55I've come alive again with you
01:11:02We have so much to live for
01:11:05So
01:11:12It's not just loving you
01:11:15You make me feel so safe
01:11:19I always trust you richard
01:11:27How do I know why he's changed his mind maybe he's been crazy all these years
01:11:34I just never knew it
01:11:37Anyway suddenly he's over the moon about our marriage. That's all that matters
01:11:41Maybe i'll catch him at the office before he leaves make sure it still is my father
01:12:04So
01:12:34So
01:12:43You're not very like your mother you knew my mother
01:12:46This is all no unfortunate. Pardon me. What is?
01:12:52I take it your mother was the little actressy person who shared my flat for a time during the war
01:12:58That jesse country
01:13:00You're not very like her
01:13:01Your name it's emily. Oh, I see you know quite a lot already
01:13:06But not enough
01:13:08Such a pity
01:13:10It was very wrong of your mother to send you in quest of the breeden family all communication between us ceased long ago
01:13:18well
01:13:20Now that michael and I are going to be married. I
01:13:23What has your mother told you? Nothing
01:13:26Nothing about anything
01:13:29As an old friend of hers
01:13:32I'd like you to take my advice
01:13:34Go back to america lady. Breeden. What is this?
01:13:38Just go home without contacting michael again or offering any explanation
01:13:45No way I won't hurt michael take my word for it you have no hope of marrying him
01:13:54The reason is bound to distress you
01:13:56I
01:13:58I'll risk that very well. I would have spared you but
01:14:07You may have realized that while your father was lying injured in france
01:14:13Your mother was conducting an adulterous affair with my husband. It wasn't like that. You want proof?
01:14:21When your father was brought to england he had appalling burns and needed specialist treatment
01:14:26Your mother left london to be near him
01:14:29I dare say she regretted her infidelity by this time
01:14:33but too late
01:14:36Some months later. I drove a patient to that same hospital
01:14:51Emily
01:14:52Jesse, so this is where frank is. How's richard? Have you any news?
01:14:57More to the point. How's frank?
01:15:01Well, it's bound to take time
01:15:04They're trying to save his sight
01:15:06There's so little I can do except be with him
01:15:09When he does see you my dear
01:15:11How will you explain that?
01:15:15Frank loves me
01:15:17That much
01:15:20So
01:15:25Of course you don't know do you
01:15:28Richard and I were married just before he went to the far east
01:15:40My family had a shooting lodge in scotland private remote from anywhere
01:15:46My mother
01:15:48The baby was born there and registered as mine
01:15:52You took her baby my dear child
01:15:55She gave him away. No
01:15:59No matter how difficult no matter how ashamed she but with a husband likely to be a permanent invalid
01:16:07Not my mother
01:16:09She couldn't but she could
01:16:12She cried begged
01:16:15Pleaded with me to let her keep him to help her
01:16:25Was it like that
01:16:27I knew her then, you know, she would want the best for her baby
01:16:32He was richard's child too. Does lord breeden know of course not?
01:16:37When the war ended and he eventually came home. There was no need to tell him
01:16:41He could hardly wait to hold in his arms the son and heir i'd promised in my letters
01:16:54In your present state you won't appreciate it but
01:17:01I took good care of your mother
01:17:05Michael has always been mine
01:17:08He can never be yours
01:17:13Even if I thought you were suitable you can never marry your brother, can you?
01:17:38Here's to you and casey
01:17:44Thanks for telling me about jesse
01:17:51It's such a relief to know the truth about her at last
01:18:01Tell me dad
01:18:04Why did you marry ma?
01:18:08Our families had always assumed we would I suppose we assumed we would
01:18:15Until I saw jesse
01:18:19And when she disappeared I didn't much care what became of me
01:18:23I wasn't very fair to your mother. I know but
01:18:27I thought we might make a go of it. We had a lot of things in common
01:18:35Unfortunately love wasn't one of them
01:18:38So
01:18:43No more crying she's washing her face
01:19:05Thanks for putting up with me
01:19:08For not asking any questions
01:19:12I just didn't want to go back to the hotel and
01:19:16You've been so kind
01:19:22I'm ready to go. You can't fly back to the states today just like that
01:19:31I don't have a choice. No goodbyes
01:19:38Fording bridge bring the car. Yes
01:19:53Why I mean, what does she said well just that she must go I thought you should know them. Yeah, i'm on my way
01:20:08So
01:20:18Casey what's wrong? Get me out of here. Tell me what's happened
01:20:22Please casey. Just tell me
01:20:24I've got a plane to catch michael. I'm, sorry. What plane?
01:20:28Why are you leaving?
01:20:31Casey you two have got to talk
01:20:38I refuse to believe it. She could be lying
01:20:44It hurt her too much for it to be a lie
01:20:50I know my father has no idea. She didn't tell him
01:20:55He ought to know what's the point?
01:20:58I never want to see her again. Oh
01:21:03You don't mean that
01:21:05To find out my mother isn't my mother the woman I want to marry just stop it
01:21:10There isn't anything we can do about it now
01:21:12So
01:21:34How was she like our mother
01:21:37I
01:21:41Don't know i've lost her
01:21:48She must have been very special to go on loving someone for a lifetime without seeing
01:22:02I don't have to justify myself to you after all this time richard you knew
01:22:07You knew frank cantrell had come back which doesn't alter the fact that jesse ran out on you
01:22:13Why did you never tell me that he was still alive because he might have died at any moment he was in a bad way
01:22:20And then you'd have married dressy
01:22:22No, a clean break was much the best thing for her
01:22:27for me
01:22:29I went through agonies
01:22:31And you allowed me to I mean all you had to say was
01:22:38You know jesse knew I'd come looking for her at the flat
01:22:43She left a message with you didn't she
01:22:47Didn't she emily
01:23:03Dearest jesse
01:23:05I've been out of action for a while
01:23:07I will explain
01:23:10Meet me on tuesday in half moon square. I have a very important question to ask
01:23:18I love you so very much richard
01:23:38What is it
01:23:42It's frank
01:23:45He's alive he's in england
01:23:49Oh, you must be overjoyed
01:23:52They told me he's terribly injured
01:23:55He might die
01:23:57I'll have to go to him. Of course. What can I help in any way?
01:24:03No
01:24:05I must get in touch with richard, but I don't know where he is
01:24:09The important thing is to be with your husband
01:24:13He needs you
01:24:14of course
01:24:15But I can't go without explaining to richard
01:24:19Write a note. I'll make sure he gets it. I'll pack right away
01:24:36I thought there might have been a message from richard nothing
01:24:40So
01:24:59She did leave a message didn't she emily I won't be cross-examined like this
01:25:03It's too long ago. You kept back something as important as that
01:25:07My god emily, I thought at least you were fond of me fond of you
01:25:13I loved you all the time we were growing up and you were quite fond of me
01:25:23If you hadn't met jesse cantrell it would have been enough
01:25:31We should never have married
01:25:33If it hadn't been for michael, I suppose you'd have left me almost at once
01:25:39I'm well aware of it. Michael is my one consolation
01:25:47I asked you here because I wanted to tell you that i'm giving breedon hall to him and casey
01:25:51As a wedding present there isn't going to be a wedding
01:25:56Of course there's going to be a wedding. No richard
01:25:59Why?
01:26:01You never really knew how much I loved you. Did you?
01:26:04How much I wanted you?
01:26:06I'm breedon hall
01:26:08I've always been willing to do anything to get what I
01:26:12Really wanted. Oh, yes. I know you're unscrupulous
01:26:17Unscrupulous
01:26:20Yes, that's a good word

01:26:29With jesse's help
01:26:31I've cheated you

01:27:02So
01:27:12What's this another file on miss cantrell arrived this morning

01:27:31Sir
01:28:01So
01:28:20I don't know what to say
01:28:23Except thank you for telling me
01:28:26It it can't have been easy
01:28:32I wanted you to understand
01:28:36So you could help michael
01:29:01So
01:29:32My future
01:29:39Whatever has happened in my life
01:29:43I have never forgotten you
01:29:46And I have never forgotten our son
01:29:50I gave him to you because he was all there was of me to give
01:29:53I
01:30:00In staying with frank I did what I thought was right
01:30:06I have been happy I guess
01:30:09But I have always known that there was a deeper happiness
01:30:15I could only have found with you
01:30:20At the end of my life
01:30:24I love you still
01:30:29As I loved you then
01:30:54What are you doing don't ask any questions casey, please just trust me
01:31:14My lord
01:31:18Casey I brought her back, please. I can't stay here
01:31:23You promised to trust me
01:31:34So trust me
01:31:41Richard read this
01:31:54You
01:31:56It's true the documentation it's all there what's this about dad just a minute michael
01:32:13I treated you very badly casey. You'll never really know how sorry I am for that
01:32:18But
01:32:22Perhaps I might have the opportunity to make up for it though
01:32:32You and I have something in common
01:32:35We both loved jesse very very much and she loved us
01:32:41She talked about you in that letter
01:32:44And about the joy that you brought into her life from the moment you arrived
01:32:49You
01:32:52There is one thing she didn't say
01:32:58She and your father
01:33:02Could never have children
01:33:06You were adopted when you were just a few days old
01:33:19So
01:33:27Casey
01:33:29You loved jesse and jesse loved you that's the important thing
01:33:34Just hang on to that
01:33:40And remember
01:33:42Jesse sent you here to us
01:33:46We're your family now
01:33:48forever
01:34:04I don't know how many years will pass before you read these words
01:34:12Or indeed if you will ever read them at all
01:34:17When you do
01:34:19I hope you'll know
01:34:21That i'm keeping my date with you
01:34:25in half moon square
01:34:28Even now my thoughts go back to our meeting place
01:34:34And the love I should have brought to you
01:34:38Which has never changed
01:34:41Never grown cold
01:34:43Cold
01:34:46I am yours forever
01:34:49Jesse
