Enjoy.
I like that kind.
Company and watching all that.
Watching.
As the property market is heating up to unprecedented
levels as investors cash in on high demand for real estate.
This is a historic boom.
We're going to hear
from our property analyst, Tim Dodwell, who will explain
the implications for the wider economy.
I. Am.
Tired.
Yeah.
How come?
I don't know why?
I use today.
All right.
Well, the planes finally landed.
They're on their way.
Oh. You know, she used to help me when I was a boy.
If I came here with a bloody nose, she'd take care of it.
Looks at what she called me.
A pleb in that.
Might be nice to understand
a book like this.
You look tired.
I haven't slept a wink. Why?
I don't know, I'm anxious.
Well, that's what happens when you try
and be something you're not. Daisy.
What do you mean?
Well, you're not a lady,
but you try bloody hard to act like one.
Oh. Oh,
I'm not sure I'm gonna jump out of companies.
Out of you.
Oh. Come here.
Area.
The gardener sent these.
He says there must go in the dining room.
Okay.
Give me a cuppa, will you?
All right.
I'm going to shut them.
How are you today?
Well, I'm still alive.
Well, you look wonderful.
I hope I look as good as you when I'm your age.
Fuck off.
Sorry.
I think she's pretty.
Welcome home.
Mother. Oh.
Come on.
Say I'm home.
Then the parlor.
It's all the same.
I've missed it.
And your rooms are just as you left them.
Oh, Daisy.
Hello, Gary.
Hello, Rachel.
It's good to see you again.
You finally here?
My flight was hours late.
Oh, you make such bloody, feeble excuses.
She had to visit him first.
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
Darling.
Mummy, I know you're here. Oh.
Oh, you're a fat.
Well.
Are you. I'm sure you've been well looked after.
Oh, everybody wants me to be well looked after.
Oh, everyone cares so much.
Liars.
So good to see you again, Nana.
Oh, bless you, my child.
Yeah.
I just.
Hello.
I'm. Hello?
I've missed you.
Well,
don't hug it too long.
You'll be branded a nutty tree hugger.
You know,
this tree's been here since.
Long before the house was ever built.
You mock me for being a tree hugger with trees.
Make people karma.
Make a harsh climate.
Milder.
And this whole life exempt from public.
Can't find tongues in trees.
Books in the running books.
Sermons in stones and good.
Everything.
I'm happy.
Oh are they?
Oh, no.
How are you?
I haven't slept much,
but it's great to be back. I.
Oh, I have something to tell you.
What?
Colin.
He's asked me to marry him.
I knew it.
I knew it would happen.
Oh. Come on.
Oh, come.
Patrice.
Oh, but.
Nothing's changed.
Oh. Don't you think?
More often we see the things around us.
Even the beautiful and wonderful things.
The more they become invisible.
Maybe that's why we sometimes take
for granted the beautiful things of this world.
Even as we love.
Because we see things so often,
we notice them less and less.
Peter arrived a couple of days ago.
Peter.
I should wake him up.
But for Nora told me not to.
Daisy,
please go and make some tea quick.
Rachel. Mother of asked.
All right.
Oh, my God, you've arrived.
Oh, I've had to put up with.
I can imagine since you have to come with us.
I mean, I am an adult.
Your mother needed the extra support.
It was really cold.
We arrived in Florence.
Mum looked awful.
It was really hard to watch.
She'd already
sold the villa in Tuscany and we didn't have anything left
but already broken.
She went bonkers over tipping wages
in the most expensive restaurants.
The same. Oh.
So how are things finally paid up?
No. Oh, no.
We need a miracle or it'll be settled.
Oh, no.
Hello.
Just to let you know, we're all headed back to the parlor.
All right. Thank you. Gary.
I could punch him in the face. Oh,
he finally asked you to marry him.
Does he ever love you?
Have you talked about it?
Everyone keeps going on and on about the wedding and whatnot,
but he barely gives me the time of day.
He's a business man.
He is married to his business.
That's a nice blouse. Yes.
Thank you. Bought it for me.
Oh, we could marry you to a rich man.
Then I could relax, leave and travel.
I'd go everywhere.
That's what I went.
Paragliding in Tuscany.
I'd go paragliding.
The time is up.
Time for change.
Oh, can I go through here?
Oh. Oh.
Oh. What's going on?
I broke saucer. Oh!
That woman Peter's here. Yes.
Oh, shit.
I told him to stay out the way and.
Lady Rachel is having tea.
Is the tea ready?
What about the milk?
Oh, tea.
Christine.
Philip.
What are you laughing at?
Everybody's home at last.
My heart feels so big.
I'll have some tea.
Then we can all rush.
Been a tiring trip with all the delays and everything.
Thank you. Philip.
Where's Anna? She's having a nap.
I'll go and make sure everything made it
back.
I can't believe I'm here.
I feel like I'm having an out-of-body experience.
Please, somebody wake me up. Oh.
Oh! Steady on,
stay on.
Oh! Oh, Caro.
Philip, I'm so glad you're still with us. Oh,
it was last week, madam.
Darling.
Look, it'd
be great to stay and chat, but I've got to leave for the city.
You look wonderful, as always.
Even better.
And she smells divine.
I bet you've got chatted up no end in Italy.
I want you to know I'll help in any way I can.
My family is served yours for generations,
and you've done a lot for us.
I've got your back.
Thank you. Go!
Oh, my God, I've got the jitters.
It's all so much.
Everything shiso and I got all the.
And I know every thing.
It's just I can't.
Every.
Never miss the chance to take in
that which is beautiful.
For beauty is God's handwriting.
Well,
you can take the actress out of the theater,
but you can't take the theater out of the actress.
Beauty is power.
Smile
is sort.
If our eyes saw souls
instead of bodies.
Oh, how different
our ideals of beauty would be.
Look, I've said I'd help,
but I've really got to go in a moment.
So we should talk about the estate. What about the estate?
Well, you know, you've got massive debts.
What?
On the farm. Subsidies.
Enough to cover things? No.
We've had to find some different options.
Like what?
Well, like the Heritage Trust, for example.
But it's tricky because there's all kinds
of conditions and demands attached to the funding.
And the property will literally be invaded
by all types of riffraff.
And it's not exactly the kind of legacy
we want to leave behind those.
But you considered renting.
Renting?
Yes. Parties, weddings,
music festivals, film shoots, even.
Well, how is that different?
Traveling the place up to all and sundry?
Look, years ago
you had opportunities to transform this estate.
Even avoid paying tax
by squirreling your profits away into special trusts.
But you didn't do it.
And now you're in trouble.
So you are going to have to find ways to adapt.
Like others, like you have done over the last few decades.
Yes, we must adapt.
Oh, yes. Adapt.
Everything must change so everything can remain the same.
Your artwork and contents alone would save the property.
I could live without your artwork.
But I own a garden without any flowers.
Look, I knew you'd resist.
I've got to go.
But one last thought, and this is a good option.
Now, there's an auction coming up in a few months.
Now, as you know, your woodland
needs to be sold to clear your debts.
Now, I suggest what you does. Yes.
Your estate, it's fairly close to the city.
And you've got good roads, etc...
Now, if the woodland and land along by the river is divided
up into plots and leased out for, say, country homes.
Well, that would give you a nice tidy
yearly income which would enable you to then.
Ridiculous. Wait,
what do you mean? I don't understand.
The idea is you.
Well behaved like the Duke of Westminster
or like Grosvenor.
I don't think so.
You. You own the freehold.
You charge the tenants at least 50,000 pounds a year for, say,
a plot of two acres.
You advertise now the market the way it is.
I bet you anything.
Every bit of that land will be gone by next autumn.
It'll be snatched up.
But of course, it's all going to be cleared up and,
put in order.
The old outbuildings all need to be torn down
and the old woodland cut down. Cut down?
Are you mad?
The one thing worth saving above all else is the woodland
is one of the most diverse in the whole county.
The wildlife would never.
Yes, but you can't produce or own anything from it, can you?
Rachel.
It only has value if it can be built on.
You're going to have to lose it.
I will have you know that I.
Woodland has been mentioned on Wikipedia.
I'm just trying to help.
Okay.
But you are going to have to decide.
And soon.
Oh, we could do a.
Does.
We could make then sell our own
good park candles, soap.
We could even make our own jam from the woodland berries.
In the old days, the woodland fairies.
Oh, they will,
marinated and made into jam by the country, babe.
Thank you. Mother. That's enough.
All the money they made, they knew how to do it.
They had a recipe.
Oh, where's the recipe now, mum?
Lost.
Forgotten.
No one can remember it anymore.
Look,
when I was little, it was just local people who lived here.
People like you.
Some middle class and local workers.
But now the real estate market is awash with new money.
And they're buying up
a country home or a summer place as an investment.
No, but who knows, maybe 20 years or so.
Maybe they'll start
growing stuff on their plots and your land will thrive.
Just rubbish.
Do you know how old is state? Is.
It's nearly 250 years.
250 years.
How about that?
It's old.
Some of them
grand is social events in the history of the county.
It's weathered many storms
much worse than the one we're living in now.
The storm will pass,
and we'll still be here.
There is a culture.
There are traditions and values to uphold
which form the very fabric of our civilization.
As urban wool, once it.
I would be surprised if there's any greater
happiness than that provided by a game of croquet
played on English lawn through a summer's afternoon.
After a good luncheon where the prospect of a good dinner had.
Aren't many things the English do better than anyone else?
It's encouraging to think we can hold onto a few of them.
Bravo!
Well, never used to talk like that.
You used to denounce your way of life.
Yes. You used to rant on
about the injustices of the land monopolies.
You even joined the land reform group.
You were going to change the world.
Well,
that was then.
You've got lazy.
Drink your tea, mother.
Oh, yes.
That's all you want me to do?
You don't want to listen while I talk.
You've changed so much.
I hardly recognize you.
You used to be a man
of strong convictions.
An inspiring personality.
Yes. An inspiring personality.
You never inspired anyone.
I tried to pull the wool over my eyes
so I couldn't see the realities of life.
I thought I was doing the right thing, but now.
I lie awake,
angry.
I've wasted my time.
You seem to be blaming those former principals of yours.
Or something of the sort.
You're not to blame.
You're to blame.
You ought to have continued
what you were doing.
At least then.
Thank you, mother, for inspiring me.
Right.
It was time for me to get going.
Oh, don't take those.
It'll do any good.
Let me have them.
Yeah.
Well, good that I've taken the pills.
Simon. You're mad.
No no no no no, I've got a stomach of steel anyway.
They are placebos.
You better bloody hope so, mate.
Right. I'm off.
I'll see you in a few weeks.
Think seriously about what
I've said. Oh.
Let me know.
I'll get your big loan.
Think about it.
Are you going?
Yeah.
I'll call you.
Philistine.
Oh. I'm sorry.
Nora, I know he's your
precious fiancé.
Well, I won't mind.
He's basically a good man.
I agree.
He's a man.
By the way, did.
Can you lend me any money?
I've got to pay the mortgage interest tomorrow.
We don't have any.
We really don't. And she, she she's right. Termina.
I don't have anything. Oh,
well, if it'll turn up.
I mean, I'm an eternal optimist.
You know, just when everything seems we've gone to hell.
They want to put up a mobile phone mast or up
an electricity pylon on my land, and they pay me for it.
Yeah, something will definitely happen.
Empty. Forgot my phone.
I'm sorry.
I mean, maybe we'll win the lottery now.
Hello? Hello.
I got two of.
O o o o o o.
Oh. Thank God.
Oh. Oh.
Look how wonderful the trees are.
And listen to the blackbirds.
Oh, my.
And the dark, stormy autumn.
Cold winter.
You're alive again.
No, dear.
Woodland.
Had to be sold to pay our debts.
That's what I thought.
What have you.
Come on.
Filippo!
Yes, madam.
Yeah.
What?
Green.
Blossoms.
With those people?
Yeah.
The whole.
What people?
I can't see anyone.
Maybe you saw the gardener's mum
or travelers.
Hello.
Look.
Yeah.
Back.
Who? It's him.
You. Okay.
They're coming for us.
We must go back inside.
Back inside. Okay.
Since you're saying I'm so moved. My.
Oh, my.
She's not been taking a bloody medication.
We must make sure she does.
Oh. Oh, no.
Oh! Oh, yeah. Oh.
Oh. Was that.
Hello,
Rachel.
I just wanted to
say hi, and I'll be going.
It's Peter.
Rachel.
Peter Hyland.
I used to tutor your Jeff.
Peter? Yes.
His tutor.
And his friend.
It's all right. It's all right. I'll go.
I asked you to wait until tomorrow.
Right, Geoffrey?
I still don't understand why.
I mean, I don't know.
You look older.
How did that happen?
I don't know.
Anxiety,
stress.
You're wearing glasses
and hair is thinning.
You still studying?
Yes. I'm
the eternal student.
I'm tired.
I'm going to lay down.
Yes, you.
You must rest. You must rest.
So should I.
I must say, my head is so stupid of me.
I might have to stay here, if that's all right.
But listen, Rachel, about the money lenders, aren't you?
Yes. And I have to pay the interest on the mortgage.
I don't have any money.
Oh. Come on. I'll pay you back.
It's not much.
Oh, for goodness sake, George,
I'll give you the money, won't you, George?
Course, George will give you the money.
It's like my state while you're at it.
He says he needs it.
There she goes,
throwing money away again.
You need to wash.
You smell.
You haven't changed, have you?
What did you just say to me?
James, your mother called.
She was trying to reach you.
She was hoping you might go and visit her.
Oh, well,
she is your mother. Yes.
If I don't visit her immediately,
she'll come here and bother me.
Thank you.
Rachel
is totally oblivious to what's going on.
She just keeps giving everything away.
It's only money.
Why can't someone just die
and leave us some?
Maybe I can marry some rich tycoon.
Or we could pop to Scotland.
Try our luck with old auntie.
Oh, she hit the jackpot when she married savvy old bird.
But Auntie won't help because Rachel went
off and married a lawyer.
Oh, God.
Don't do
I love Rachel?
Basically, she's a good woman,
but she's so, let's say fair about everything.
She's a mess.
Why can't you just stuck
with the bloody acting?
What?
I don't know.
I was just talking about your mother.
Yes, I had.
My lovely Hannah.
You're such a
such a wonderful girl.
I'm so proud of you.
Thank you, uncle.
You're a good man.
But why were you badmouthing my mother?
Well.
Sometimes you should
shut up.
Yeah. Yes.
I'm a terrible person.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what's happened to me.
I'm a tit.
Talk less and listen more.
Yes, yes.
Yes. Okay.
I'll shut up. Shut up!
But I was speaking to some friends the other day,
and from what they were saying,
we might be able to get a loan on promissory notes.
Pay the interest to the bank. If only
I'll try next week. No.
Your mother's going to talk to Gary.
He'll help her.
You're going to go to Scotland to see Grace, aunty.
And we're going to tackle this thing on three fronts.
Pay the interest. Yes.
Come on, cheer up.
Get up!
Yes. Yes.
You know, we'll figure something out.
I hope so.
I really do.
Sir, when are you going to rest?
Soon. Filippo. Thank you.
Okay.
Bye for now.
Do you know I can say.
Hand on heart.
I have suffered a lot for my beliefs.
But that's why the workers like me.
Because I've gotten
inside their minds and I've felt their hardship.
You know, you have to get to know these people.
Please stop.
Remember what you said.
Shut up. George!
Please go.
Yes, Filippo.
I can't stand great auntie.
I'm not going to Scotland.
We might have to.
Did you get some rest?
Not really.
Come on, let's go sort your bags.
There you are, Anna.
I was hoping that we.
She's very tired.
Anna. But.
You can put.
Yes. My lady.
At the.
I've been a governess many years.
I've looked after the children are great families
in Italy and England.
But this family.
Has to be the craziest.
Yes. Families like them find ways to survive.
They always find a way.
But this family.
I don't care for this crazy world.
All its false hopes,
all its promises.
It sucks you in.
Then it spits you out.
You trespass on its premises.
Song lyrics.
If only my stricken soul could be soothed.
With the zeal of your love.
See love your love, my mummy.
You were lucky to go to Italy.
I was.
I took full advantage of it.
I can tell you.
That she's pretty good here.
But you
get this feeling like I got on board the Titanic.
Venture money.
Sinking ship,
sinking ship.
No lifeboats to save your soul.
Save your soul.
Oh, yeah.
I carry a knife now.
Oh I'm scared.
I am always on the alert for intruders.
I'm going.
You'll become as crazy like the Wellesley's.
What am I going to do about this?
People?
You know, it's funny.
I plan my days.
I have a clear schedule.
Then nearly
every time something happens to fuck it all up.
It's like fate woke up an hour before me.
Now, that is the kind of poetry you put in a song.
Not just.
My feet.
Well, go up now before we.
I didn't know what to do.
Daisy,
can I have a word?
All right.
Alone.
All right, then.
Do you mind getting my shawl for me first?
Just hanging next to wardrobe in the side room.
It's getting a bit chilly.
Yeah.
Okay.
My feet won't open now. The.
Oh, the sinking ship.
No, he's starting to lose the plot.
We just.
In my luxury accent, he stops himself.
Please don't let me down.
How would I do that?
I don't know.
Anxious all the time.
I'm trying to be better.
To be more like them.
Like them?
Why would you want to do that?
They just seem so much more.
What?
The problem is this.
You don't know who you are.
Or who you want.
James, just don't let the Wellesley disease
infect you too.
He doesn't believe in me.
I'm sorry, you devil.
You better go.
Yeah. Just go down by George's estate.
Or they'll see you and think we've been up to something.
0000,
no. 00000 no
oh no no no no.
It's a lovely.
What have you had?
Horrible feeling.
Well, I'll say that I like those before.
They are a lot of hair that I had.
Oh shout shouty whipped with.
A student groin
smarting with lingering pickle juice.
I should say it is not so.
Province, I will give thee
to make their fortunes proud.
The blow thou hast shall make that peaceful moving me to rage.
And I will boot thee with what gift beside thy modesty can bake
from.
Oh, So good, so good.
Oh. Ro.
Oh. Thank you.
Lovely.
Oh, lovely.
So, have you had any more thoughts on
leasing your land for the houses?
Rachel, lunch was rubbish.
You drank too much.
I drank to out.
Out to. Ha, ha.
I talk too much
whingeing about the poor.
Oh, I used to have a lot of money.
Lots of wine.
I can hardly afford stuff.
Provender has been scrimping.
I'm just trying.
I just.
I just, I'm just,
Well, be these knaves.
What? What?
No man at all to hold my stirrup.
Oh, take my horse.
Now, James.
This is where you say.
Here, sir. Here.
Move it!
Oh! Come on.
Come on, say it.
Here. Here, sir.
Here.
Come on.
Here.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Oh, you look ahead in an unpolished grooms.
Well, now, attendants.
Now, regarding the juicy,
where is the foolish knave I said before.
Now, here's where you say.
Here, sir.
As foolish as I was before.
Come on. Come on.
It's the bit of charm. It's a bit of fun.
Come on.
It's a bloody dreary.
You peasant swine!
You whore son!
Malt horse!
Drudge.
George, you didn't have to do that
just because I did it.
I know, I know. I'm sorry.
I just, you know, I certainly felt inspired, you know?
Just. Oh.
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
You know that rich bloke Dillinger?
Well, I hear he wants to buy your estate,
and he's actually coming to the auction.
How did you hear that?
People are talking about it in town.
Dillinger is a dreadful speculator.
He just likes to buy up land from people who are property
rich for cash. Poor.
Oh, let me see.
You'll keep the estate as it is
anyway.
Our own in Scotland is promising to send us some money.
So how much?
Not much.
Barely enough to keep us going.
Another couple of months.
Look, can I be honest with you?
Because I've helped a lot of people with property issues,
and I'm really trying to help you now.
But in all my years, I've never met other people like you.
I'm amazed people like you still exist.
You spoiled,
lazy.
No competence in any business dealings whatsoever.
But worst of all, your land has got to be sold.
And you're living in cloud cuckoo land.
I mean, what's wrong with you?
Steady on.
What you expect us to do, Gary?
We're damned if we do, damned if we don't.
No you're not Rachel.
How many times do I have to bloody Gary?
I'm sorry,
but you need to lease the woodland and fields for houses,
and you need to do it now before the auction.
Once you've decided to develop the houses,
you'll be able to borrow as much money as you want,
and you'll be out the woods.
No pun intended.
Ha ha.
And this is progress.
Houses. Houses.
Development. Anywhere. Everywhere.
Fuck nature. Fuck beauty.
Build. Build. Build.
There's lots of money to be made here.
Oh my God.
I've worn me out.
I'm off.
Wait. Why?
We have just
to sort something out. How?
I've made it very clear to you.
But you still refuse to do anything about it.
Will you please just stay a minute?
You accuse us
of being old fashioned. But.
We need you. Why?
Because I'm not going to stick around
and play some character in your pathetic family drama.
If you leave,
I feel something terrible happened.
Oh, it will, Rachel.
Trust me, it will.
Ha ha ha.
Yes. That's it.
Ha ha ha! That's it.
Come on.
Abby, all.
Come here.
It's all right.
Hands on.
They're heavy now.
Count the trees.
Try this one.
That's it. Two.
One. Two.
That's it.
Oh. Well done. Well done.
All right. Go sit.
I'll seven.
Eight.
I that's it.
That's it. Well done.
There we are.
Good good good. Put.
Right into.
We could just go easy on her.
All right.
But her boy Jeff died.
She went off the rails.
The marriage broke down. She had an affair
with a dreadful man who stole her money.
I mean, nearly lost her to a bottle of pills.
So just just go easy, all right?
Yeah.
No. Oh, God have mercy on me.
Oh, God.
Oh, God. Hey!
Oh, the scruff!
Handsome.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Oh! Oh!
Oh, no! Oh!
What's up?
Music?
Where's that music coming from?
It must be the gypsies.
Comes on the common.
They're still around.
Well, they've been here for ages.
Oh, we even had to call the police on them for trespassing.
We should invite them up to the house
to play for us one night.
It's great music to dance to.
And I love a good dog.
You do you love a good dog? Alone?
No. No, no.
Oh, that is fantastic.
Oh, come on, have one dance with him.
I can't hear anything.
For old Gary.
Rubbish.
You say
I'm a dreary, money grubbing lowlife. You.
I say that with love.
Of course.
Oh, cos
I won't deny I love money.
See, I wasn't given anything.
My daddy had nothing.
He was as thick as two planks.
Didn't teach me anything. And
beat me when he was drunk.
Yes. Your bloody nose.
Yeah.
So? Well, I don't know much about
anything, but I do know about business
and property development and how to make money from it.
So there we are.
Why don't you land
then?
I too busy, want to get married.
I'm sure you'll write to me all the Nora.
She's lovely.
Even though she's adopted
and from a common background, she's hard working.
And the main thing is she really likes you.
And I know you've liked her.
Long time.
Well, that's true. I suppose.
You know,
I've been offered a job in a bank.
Yes, I know.
George.
Please put this on.
It's certainly.
Please put this on.
Filippo,
you're a pain in the ass.
I know, sir.
You went out this morning.
You never said anything.
You haven't changed at all.
You've not aged a bit, Filippo.
You look exactly the same as you did 20 years ago.
Oh, it's, 5:00, madam.
Oh, Filippo.
She says you haven't aged.
Oh, I had a great life
because I've been treated well.
I share the family my entire life
since I've found you in Italy when you were a boy.
Si. Si, senor.
And everyone has been happy ever after.
I bet they're happy because some people still know their place.
Don't be ridiculous.
There are people in this world
who still believe in gratitude.
Loyalty.
Filippo had a blessed life.
Yes. Once upon a time,
things were reciprocal.
There was an order.
Masters belonged as much to their servants
as their servants belonged to their masters.
No! Mamma mia!
Everything is, separated and confused.
No one knows who they are or what they are.
Places.
I thank you, Filippo.
Right.
Tomorrow I'm going to town.
I'm supposedly being introduced to someone who will lend us
some money for a loan agreement, so don't bother.
He won't be able to pay the interest.
You're making all of this up on you, Georgie.
Hello?
Oh, darling.
Oh. Oh, no.
Are you angel?
Angel?
Number six.
I said he's
always with the ladies.
Peter.
At this rate, you'll turn 50 and still be a student.
Very funny.
It's just a joke.
Why are you trying to annoy me?
Oh, I calm down.
If you want, you can tell me what you think of me.
I don't mind.
I've got a thick skin.
Well, now that you ask Gary, you're rich, man,
and you'll probably become even richer.
Not unlike a voracious, invasive plant that slowly smothers
everything it means before choking it to death.
Is that the best you can do?
Peter, why don't you tell us about your research
on the galaxies in the universe?
Oh. Spare us. No.
Why don't we continue what we were discussing yesterday?
What was that?
Narcissism.
Oh, yes.
Something about love in the age of social media and selfies.
I think so.
So if you experience as real only what exists
within yourself,
while the outside world is experienced only
from the viewpoint
of their being useful or dangerous
to you, it's difficult to find a real connection.
It's basically narcissism.
The opposite is objectivity,
the ability to see other people and things as they really are,
objectively, not how you want to see them.
It's going to explode.
Seriously?
How can you be truly objective?
Everyone looks at everything, mostly
through a subjective lens, perhaps.
But look at today's levels of depression.
I'm afraid narcissism is often a cause of depression
in the West.
Some depressions can be a self-centered illness.
Depression is often painful.
You sapped and consumed by yourself.
The worse the depression,
the more you just think about yourself.
It's a vicious circle.
My goodness.
Peter! Bravo!
So brilliant and so preachy.
Go on.
Look. It's like this.
Despite the so-called progress, we appear to be making a grade.
We're still trapped in a medieval web
of self-importance, self-deception and denial.
People talk about making the world
a better, fairer place for everyone. Yes.
And yet are quite happy to maintain and benefit
from the very system that creates such hardships
and injustices in the first place. Why?
Hang on a minute. What's wrong with the system?
It's not a real question, Gareth.
Do you want me to answer that?
I do.
Right.
Take property ownership.
The price of landed property that literally means land.
Yes, has skyrocketed over the last years.
Does anyone ever stop to question or challenge
where this massive unearned value comes from?
Do they know it as if it just falls
from the sky, when in fact it's created by society, right?
By everyone's
value adding hard work and investment in infrastructure.
And yet we continue to tax hard work,
employment and trade, causing unemployment, poverty
and a whole host of economic and social problems.
And the land owners are let off the hook,
raking in wealth they haven't worked for.
Oh, please.
Look, the system's there to be grabbed
and squeezed for all its worth.
Nature has given
us forests and fields and oceans.
The world's there to be used.
We should be like God's gods.
That's a bit much, isn't it?
Gary, didn't you start your career
dealing in goods from the back of your car?
Yeah, I did.
You started with electrical goods
and then moved on to making and selling computers, right?
Yes, I did.
So you actually made your first fortune by building a business
that created jobs and satisfied customers?
Yeah, I did.
I always cut costs to avoid waste.
You see, as a manufacturer, I wasn't content with.
10% return on my capital.
I wanted 33%.
And in order to achieve that, I had to work for it.
Think of a product that sought after that no one else has.
And then you beat down the cost price
to achieve a great retail price.
It's a no brainer, right?
That's what I did out in Asia.
I found the factories that could deliver
the goods on time and at the right price
to keep my customers happy.
I just took advantage.
You added value with your business?
Yeah, I did lots of value.
Then you sold the business and made your second
fortune out of land, right?
You mean property?
Well, yes.
All right.
In 1990, I bought a house
for 40,700 pounds.
Three years later, without lifting a finger,
I sold it for 120,700 pounds.
I then bought another house for 150,000 pounds.
Cash. No mortgage.
Ten years later, I sold that for 600,000
pounds and the profit came out of nowhere.
Costless. Right? Right.
That has absolutely nothing to do with adding value
and absolutely everything to do with the location.
Well, yeah.
Which is exactly why I bought a building
in the west end of London.
Prime location.
Now, these bullshit estate agents gave me some bad advice
about the cost of refurbishing
and the price I'd get for each apartment.
What agent even gives me a price of 3 to 3.5
million for each apartment, which I rejected, of course.
And I was right, because this couple comes along
and offers me 5.5 million for the third floor
apartment, just like that, without blinking.
I sold the penthouse apartment for 7.25
million pounds to an Asian steel billionaire.
So I recovered my outlay on that building
from the sale of just two apartments,
leaving me with pure profit
from the sale of the remaining apartments. Wow.
You took advantage of the rising location value.
Yeah, I did.
There's no mystery to the real estate market.
It simply tracks the general economy.
If retailers are doing well and business is booming,
properties will be taken and high rents will be paid.
Well, I've sat through a couple of recessions
and upswings in my time, and
I've seen the value of buildings rise and fall like a yo yo.
Eventually, through one of these boom
and bust cycles, you will have the opportunity
to sell at the top of the market or buy at the bottom.
We are at the very, very top of the market now,
which is why I keep banging on about
leasing these fields and woodlands for development.
And there you are, squeezing profit
from an unjust system.
Here's Colin.
Sinking ship,
sinking ship.
Hello?
There is another sky.
Serene and fair.
Rough fields and trees.
For whom we must care.
But sooner or later
you face a bleak. And. George.
You're at it again.
Uncle!
I'll shut up.
Oh, I'm.
What's.
What's that noise?
I can't hear anything.
Sounds like people
working in the fields.
But no one.
There they all.
Grand mother Lucy
used to tell me.
How people worked on this land.
All right, mum.
All right.
No, you need to lay some
hope to the distance.
Oh, so no one knows
there was a system.
Open field system.
And people from the village work each strip.
You could tell the time of day
by the movement of the common clock.
And heard once a year they would gather
to beat the bounds.
They walk around the perimeter
of the parish as a way of marking the borders.
The fields spread out.
And then we'll put the village at its,
the annual festivals marked
the season.
But then the enclosures came
and the people were torn from the land.
Coming right out.
Got mum. Mum!
Oh, no.
It's not my fault.
I didn't do it. Had to be stopped.
But quickly get her inside to give her medication.
You're sure no one on the island.
Please leave us alone.
I beg you.
You've no business here.
Wherever you're from,
please.
You must go.
Go go go.
Yeah.
I'm. Not.
Why can't they see?
Why won't they miss something?
Well, that was different.
She must stay on top of her men.
I know, I know.
What's wrong?
Are you all right, mum?
Oh, let's all go inside before it gets too
high.
What are you doing here?
Who are you to? Sorry.
Sorry to bother you up.
I'm lost.
Could you help me find my way to the station?
You exit the property on the right over there,
and then you continue walking along the road
all the way, and then you can't miss it.
Thank you. Sir.
My apologies.
As I said, I
lost my way.
Well.
Where have you come from?
From the city.
But my people used to
live and work in these parts.
It's all changed.
And birds
and trees and flowers
without a name or sight.
When lawless laws and closure
came.
Can the hungry man trouble you for a few coins?
All right, all right, that's enough.
What?
For Christ's sake!
That's very kind of you.
Okay.
You'll help us one.
Well, I.
Come on,
let's go.
Nearly.
Supper.
Man. You scared me.
Have a drink.
Oh, that'll settle you.
Oh. Finally alone and no Venera.
Oh, I guess she's scared will fall in love.
Scupper plans for you to be married off to some rich guy.
If that's everyone's concern, why doesn't she just marry Gary?
All sorted.
I don't think it's as simple as that.
She wants to be free to travel and have adventures.
A marriage wouldn't really work.
Unless, of course, I wouldn't mind Betty seeing her.
Yeah,
well.
I'm tired of the pettiness.
Hannah.
We have our lives to live.
You shouldn't get bogged down
in the types of worries that make us slaves.
When we should be
reaching for the stars.
Oh, Peter.
You have a way with words.
Something's happening to me, and I can't quite explain it.
What is it?
I'm starting to not love the fields
and woods as I used to.
I always love them so much.
I couldn't imagine a better place to be now.
Yes. I think something's happening to everyone who?
Your grandmother.
That tramp.
Gary's revelation.
Something's warped her
people and warped
because of the past.
Adam. Peter.
When your ancestors enclose,
we can't be held responsible for the past crimes of others.
Done our best for years
to look after the estate, the wildlife, the land.
No it's not.
We've used the tax funded farm subsidies the estate receives
by adopting eco friendly practices.
Anna, that's just landowners receiving unearned benefits.
It's exactly what I was talking about.
Tribes up the
land values even further than the market already does.
And this blocks our generation from accessing land
to become farmers or homeowners.
It's increased the exodus from rural communities.
And I'll go even further.
I'm working.
Young people pay taxes on their wages and consumption.
True.
Yes, their taxes contribute to spending on infrastructure
that enhances the quality of life in places, which in turn
pushes up the value of those locations
that the young can't afford to live in.
In effect, they lose the right
to remain in the communities of their birth.
It's a deeply entrenched injustice, Anna, which
I'm sorry to say, began with your ancestors and their peers.
After the enclosures.
Forcing taxation on earned income
instead of the unearned rising land values of their estates.
You are preachy and judgmental.
Well,
well, I'm sorry, but
it's true.
For all the talk of creating a fairer
society was still hundreds of years behind the times.
We still have no real background, no clear
attitude to our past in relation to our present.
We just.
Chatter.
Get depressed.
Drink.
Do drugs.
I'm sorry, but in order to move forward, we must first.
And you're going to hate this word.
Atone for our past.
Do you understand?
Anna?
Sadly, I do.
Perhaps that explains why I don't feel as attached
to the woods and fields as I used to.
Maybe.
So what do we do?
Leave.
Go and change the world.
If only it were that simple.
Do you want to know a secret?
Yes. It's difficult as life is.
I'm still filled with
immense hope for the future.
It is possible
to find happiness and.
This is our chance to grab it.
Anna.
Anna!
The. Nora. Anna.
That's right. Yes.
I like.
Us. Is it?
Me? Me.
Do you.
I don't think my body can cope with it.
You know,
I only really feel like dancing when I've just
got out of the shower.
Oh, well, as Martha Graham once said,
it doesn't matter if you can't dance.
Well, just get up and dance.
You know, I come from a family of dancers.
A great aunt of mine actually danced with Anna Pavlova.
Nearly all of my ancestors achieved greatness.
Military commanders, peers of the realm, judges,
concert musicians.
So what happened to you? Ha.
Yes. Well, quite.
You know, my problem was that
I couldn't stop thinking
about money, but I'm damned if I knew how to make any.
Well, there's much to be said for learning a trade.
Yeah, but
if it is fated that you will become impoverished,
then you will, whether you work hard or not.
And if it is fated that you won't become impoverished,
then you won't.
Regardless, either it is fated that you will
become impoverished or you won't.
Therefore, it is just pointless to work hard.
Who said that?
I did.
And right now
I may really become impoverished in a couple of days.
I've got to pay a massive lump sum that I don't have.
I have managed about half of it already, but,
Oh, no no, no, that's not. It's.
It's gone. Where the where is it? Where?
Fuck!
That's not all there is.
I'm so sorry.
Yes, well, I was.
I was looking in the wrong account.
George. What's he up to?
Yeah. What's happening at the auction?
Let's me asking.
Daisy, please offer the musicians some drinks.
Well, as the Italians say, Pazienza.
I'm sure he bought it.
I'm sure.
Really?
Auntie sent him
power of attorney to buy the estate in her name
and transfer the mortgage to her.
I'm sure it's all sorted.
Auntie sent us money to buy the estate in her name.
But the money wouldn't even pay the interest.
Judgment day, Mrs.
Gary Hunt.
Oh, shut up,
you loafer! Don't get so upset.
The North's always poking fun at you about Gary.
So what?
You should just marry him if you like him.
That's easy for you to say.
You don't have this pressure on your shoulders.
I don't.
And what pressure? Nora.
No one's forcing you to do anything.
You should just marry him.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, sure.
We'll say there's no pressure, but there is the expectation.
I know that if I married him, the estate would be safe.
So don't tell me there's no pressure.
It's on me to save the day for Nora.
I wanted to marry for love.
But the truth is, he's too busy for that.
And I'm just too desperate to leave.
Oh, a tragic dilemma.
Oh, you're so clever, aren't you?
You think so highly of yourself.
Come on now.
And who's supposed to pay for the fucking band?
Oh, language.
Leave her alone, Peter.
Don't leave her alone.
She'd leave me in an hour alone.
She's been interfering all bloody summer.
She can't bear the thought of us together.
Oh, please. No.
You little bit. Oh!
What the hell are you doing? Oh!
Get out of here!
Get out of.
Ha ha!
Well, I've had enough of all this nonsense.
And you think I haven't?
The suspense is killing me.
What the fuck are you talking?
Rachel, you may just have to accept it.
The fate of the estate without anything right now.
Okay, well, you just that.
That's right, that's right. Stand and judge me.
You who see everything so clearly.
So idealistically.
I just feel so very young.
You don't have great responsibilities
and the weight of history on your shoulders.
It's easy for you.
You know, people haven't lived here
generation after generation.
You don't know what it's like to be the weak link in that chain
that our beautiful woods and fields,
all of it could be taken.
Geoff.
My Geoff.
All lost forever.
So don't be so hard on us.
You're right.
I'm very sorry.
You just want fate to guide you from place to place.
Strange boy.
George.
Oh, Italy.
You must.
Oh, love.
You don't know.
You still love him?
He's ill and alone.
But you say he's a selfish bastard
who's taken advantage of you.
How can you love him?
What do you know about love?
When you're obsessed with your clever ideas
or idealism about love?
A real man would understand me.
Your all had
not heart.
What?
You supposed to be more than just a tutor.
You supposed to take care of him.
You were supposed to help him
with his depression and his addiction.
That takes heart.
You failed.
I'm going.
Peter, wait.
I'm sorry. I'm fucked. My.
My head's all.
Where's George?
Come on, come on.
Just trust me. Oh.
What happened?
You all right?
Peter, please forgive me.
I didn't mean to. I'm sorry.
My head. I'm.
Please say forgive me.
Peter, please.
And. Yes.
Oh. Uhhuh.
Come on.
Dance with me. Yes.
Oh. All right.
You look tired.
I feel old,
but I'm not ready for a day care home yet.
We used to have dukes, duchesses,
earls, barons, admirals
dancing at our boys.
Now, look, what do we have?
To. 0000.
How do you.
Snape may have been sold,
but there's a rumor going around
who said someone in the kitchen said so.
But they left some.
Some guy I've never even seen before.
I was just chatting away about Rachel.
Is George Black here?
No, ma'am. James.
He only had a slight coat on.
James. Ooh.
Go and see what you can find out.
What's wrong?
You've been
avoiding me like I've got my disease or something.
Oh, you've had images of available, have you?
But I know I'm in a state.
You gave me your word.
Stop. Can we talk about it later?
I just need to be alone right now.
You still here, Colin.
You should leave.
Daisy.
What are you going to do, punish me?
You're prancing around like a guest.
What is the point of an estate clerk
who doesn't know his place and does nothing but take drugs?
The only
people entitled to judge me are those who actually get out.
You asshole!
I don't get out.
I'll report you just to try.
Guys, oh.
Come on then.
How about here, Well, that's a lovely welcome.
I love you too, but not used to people swinging sticks out.
I'm sorry. It wasn't meant for you.
Yeah, I didn't hit you. Yeah, of course not.
You think I'll be joking about it for you? And.
Look, I wanted to talk to you.
Finally, finally, you are here. Yes.
Well, you've hit the bottle of serve. We.
Come on.
Gary, what took you so long?
Where's George?
Well, he's on his way.
He's right behind me.
So what happened?
Well, there was a long delay in the auction itself.
Took a long time. Traffic on the way back.
Sorry, my head spinning.
George.
What happened? Tell me.
I'm very tired.
Come on, Phillip, I need to change.
Yes, sure.
Tell me what happened.
Has the estate been sold?
Yes. Yeah. And.
I bought it.
What?
I bought it.
Now you.
Yes, me.
Wait. Why?
Let me explain.
When we got there, that businessman, darling Jerry.
The big way above George and over and above the mortgage.
Look, I saw the writing on the wall, so
I stepped in.
A bit above Dellinger.
We kept raising and raising the bids until at last
it was finished.
Dellinger wanted to keep the estate the way it is,
the land undeveloped, which is why he couldn't
go above a certain price.
But I knew
that I could make more money out of building on the fields.
Which meant I could outbid him,
which I did.
I outbid him,
and I got the property.
And the estate?
Mine. Now.
But you state mine.
Hahaha!
Oh, I can't believe it!
What would my family say
there, Gary,
let's pull this fucking estate.
The place where they were treated
like shit.
Fled.
Lord of the manor.
I want to dance.
Honey.
Musicians.
Come on, guys, something.
Oh! Oh, what the bloody dance!
Ha ha!
Come on, try to.
Daisy, have a dance with me.
I'll be right
now. You just wait
and watch me come down those woods.
We're gonna build a whole load of new houses.
A new world here.
Come on, Brian,
come.
With me.
You didn't
listen to me, Rachel. Why?
Can't stop it now.
Oh, sorry.
It's not nice,
but it's the way of the world.
And you are not cut out for me.
That's enough.
Leave her alone.
All right? I'm okay.
It's all right.
Yeah.
Come on, let's dance.
Come on. Oh,
behold
the lords of the manor.
The landowner.
It's all right.
I'll pay for it.
You just.
It's just.
It's all right.
Yes, yes, it's all right.
Mum. It's all right.
Everything will be just fine.
We'll go somewhere
new and start again.
I warned you,
I told you they were coming.
But none of you listen.
So it's happened.
It was almost kind.
Look, listen to.
The financial system has been rocked
to its foundations as the real estate sector bubble
bursts and institutions topple under a mountain of debt.
Companies are going bankrupt,
and there are defaults on loans everywhere.
Property foreclosures are rampant.
Our economy is in a crisis.
People are rising up everywhere to protest
and riot.
Looting and lawlessness have taken hold.
The government has ordered troops on the streets
to control the mayhem.
Went to trial, which was only a quick.
Check.
I am not satisfied. Yes.
I'm sure.
Well, it's the end of an era
and we are the designated mourners. So
let's have a drink
and we can all commiserate together.
Now, do have a drink, ladies and gentlemen.
Please do.
What would any of you have won?
All right, I bet I won either.
How about you, James?
Why don't you have a drink?
No one else wants one.
Too a new era.
How the hell that means.
Oh, I've called it out.
You're laughing?
Yeah.
Feeling strangely happy.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, there's very little time left.
So please hurry up.
I'm off to my hideaway until this nonsense blows over.
And if all this nonsense ever does blow over, will you resume
your useful work?
Oh, have a drink.
No. Boring.
Where are you off to, then?
I don't know yet.
Oh, see them off then find somewhere safe,
or I might join the protests.
They're nice.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sure the protesters are really waiting for your arrival.
Hang on everyone, we can't start the protest
until Peter arrives.
Oh, yeah?
You would say something like that.
We're not likely to meet again.
So I just wanted to say.
I feel very sorry for you.
Really? Yes.
More than I feel sorry for the world.
So, in fact.
Really?
Why is that, then?
Oh, you were right to say they're not cut out for this.
Well, you.
You are a man of vision.
You could have harnessed your energies
and made a huge difference for the better,
and instead
clung to the wrong vision.
You're actually not that different
from the Wellesley's of old.
You both wanted the easy life
grabbing property, speculating,
exploiting
this rentier mentality.
And it's brought us to where we are today.
Oh, you're so clever, Rodney.
It was the system that encouraged me to behave
that way, didn't it?
I mean, doesn't it encourage everybody, rich
and poor alike?
Whatever you think, it doesn't matter
because we are all in the same boat now, aren't we?
Your good health.
Bon voyage.
Oh, but, you haven't got any money, have you?
Money?
What for?
Well, where are you going to go without any money?
Yeah, I'll give you some.
I have some money
here in my pocket.
I've developed over
a thousand acres of property in the last few years.
But sadly, it's worthless now.
I've earned a fortune, and I'm in a position to give you money.
And you won't take it. Now what?
You have to be so stuck up about it.
I'm not being stuck up.
Your father was a servant.
Mine was a shopkeeper.
There's not much of a difference between you and I.
Don't.
I don't want it.
I don't need it.
I'll manage just fine on my own.
I always do.
We might be separated.
There's no point crying now, darling.
It's over.
It's okay.
It's good.
It's a good thing all this month has come to an end.
But, James, I know what I'm okay.
Okay.
Come on, have some dignity.
Have you seen Philippa?
Can you get a phone, please?
We'll have to get going soon.
What can we do?
We must live out our lives.
Yes, we shall live.
We shall live through the endless procession
of days ahead of us into the long evenings.
We will bear patiently
the burdens that fate imposes on us.
And when our final hour comes, we will bear humbly.
Oh, God, with piteous
you will see evil and all our pain.
This.
Anna.
New beginning.
Mama.
A new life.
Yes. Strange. I,
I feel calmer now.
Like we were so worried
about the fate of the estate.
Just doesn't seem to matter anymore.
We're all a bit calmer now. We?
