The Nevers (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 10 - Alright, Okay, You Win - full transcript
I know what I need, the same thing as you.
You have no idea what I want.
I love you.
Falcon.
I've been looking all over for you
you're supposed to be in bed
Are you angry?
No.
Not with you.
got you're self a little hobby hall
I like that.
Can I see?
Still thinking about the other night?
Me too.
I know.
You try not to think about it so you dream it instead.
I want to look, but I can't help it.
Are you looking at my dreams?
Not just yours.
How do you see these things?
Mom says I'm touched.
She says what now?
Like you.
Only different.
But she told me not to tell.
What is that?
What is that?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Whose dreams are these?
Who is this?
The man is coming for us.
Care to explain?
Listen
It's no secret that I take issue with most of True's way
Especially her habbit of just disappearing
But dealing with it like this
Is just fucking stupid
What kind of idiot..
Careful.
What I mean is
Anger doesn't make you special
Anger is like..
It's like noses.
Noses?!
Not inside.
It's everywhere.
On every face.
What makes you special is what you do with it.
The anger.
How you channel it.
And that, that I can show you.
How to let your anger out.
And in far better ways than
ripping up Amalia's old dresses.
What do you say?
Sounded like fuck off to me.
Stupid, stupid.
What if she's dead?
What if she's dead?
She could be dead, she could
be dead, she could be dead.
Or worse..
She could still be alive.
What if she's still alive?
Sir!
What, what?
Cook wants to know if today's engagement is still happening.
Engagement?
The luncheon, sir.
In aid of the orphanage.
And since Miss Bridlow's not back.
Huh.
How long have you known?
What are you talking about?
What am I talking about?
Our son is drawing things.
Violent.
Terrifying things.
Things that no child should ever.
And you knew.
Catherine, you knew.
And you kept it from me.
I'm his father!
I know who you are.
I know you're better than you can imagine.
All thanks to Isaiah.
You think I wanted to bear this alone?
Our son's gift.
Him waking in the night because of your dreams.
Because of the violence in your head.
Not only me!
Him asking me why his daddy is dreaming of monsters.
Of bad men.
Other things a child can't understand.
He saw it all, Horatio.
If you dreamed it, he saw it.
You should have said.
When?
You are distant.
Distracted.
Why did you bring us here?
I wanted to keep you and Isaiah safe.
Safe?
What even is that?
Our son is hurting.
He is scared.
And he is haunted.
Just like his father.
You want to make us safe?
Stop these dreams.
I don't care how.
Just prioritize your family for once, Horatio.
I'm sure you'll be delighted to hear that my party was a disaster.
You can offer me a cup of tea, at least.
I'm all foul.
Hunting stag.
Sorry, I didn't mean to.
I want to help with Masson.
You what?
That's what you wanted, isn't it?
My help with your...
Your case, your mission.
Well, you can't bloody well storm the House of Lords, can you?
You'll never get close to him without me.
I'm not one of them, Frank.
That was my father's world.
But it will not be mine.
That ain't a decision you just get to make, is it?
Not out there.
It ain't about who you want to be.
You know you sound like a man defeated.
The definition of a realist.
Fine, I'm a toff.
I always will be.
I still want to help.
What's good old Lord Masson done, anyway?
Diddle the chambermaid?
Wait..
Have I got it right? Is that it?
He killed Mary.
Hello?
Who's in here?
Sarah.
Praise God.
They kept you from me all this time.
Well, you're home now.
You're really home.
I'm home.
Come on.
She can't have left with it yet
They have to be somewhere.
Maybe I should have..
No.
I did the right thing.
I'm so sorry, it's just no one seems to know where you were.
They said you'd gone with Mrs. True.
How did you get through the guards?
Oh, I dismissed them.
You just told them to go?
Yeah.
Turns out there are two bitlows after all.
I hope I'm not interrupting.
Oh, no.
To what do I owe this visit?
Well, actually, I'm in need of a favor.
Lavinia has left me in charge of the orphanage fundraiser this afternoon,
and ..
It's a little overwhelming with
the food and the wine and the seating.
The speech.
Honestly, I've got no idea what I'm doing.
Would you come?
Me?
Yes.
Yeah, I'd feel so much better if you were there with me.
I might actually have a shot at pulling this off.
Um, luncheons aren't really my thing.
Nor mine.
Thought we could be out of place together.
I thought it would be nice to spend a whole day with you
In full view of society.
Because the thing is, Mrs. Tare,
I don't want to try and kiss you anymore.
You don't?
No, I don't. I don't.
I just want to actually kiss you.
If that's all right with you.
May I?
You may.
Nothing general about this?
No, no, no.
So, will you come?
I'll be forever in your debt.
Can Mrs. True spare you?
Definitely.
Is everything all right?
Yeah.
Yeah, sorry.
Excuse me, sir.
Are you Edmund?
Yes.
There's a telephone call for you.
Hello.
Edmund.
Mother.
Darling, finally !
Hey, have you been?
I've been trying to reach you.
Mother, it's been so off.
Yes, darling, of course.
First they destroyed the house.
Sweetheart.
And then they abducted me.
And then I was tortured.
Edmund.
Sweetheart.
I am, of course, deeply sympathetic to your struggles,
and I want in due time to hear all about them.
But right now, I have news.
News?
Yes, my love.
I found it.
You thought it was lost.
Mother has it safe.
Soon we'll be together again.
Now all we need is one last piece of the puzzle.
It's a lovely day for a party.
So she chose to go after it, and I'm worried.
Of course you're worried.
She's your friend.
I will say, if anyone can handle themselves in crisis,
It's Mrs True
Well, that's certainly what you'd like you to believe.
Tell me, how can you be sure that you've done the right thing
when that thing just feels awful?
Well, I think you try to do your best as often as you can.
And maybe sometimes people get a bit bruised, unfortunately.
And, you know, you wonder, was that the best thing?
Am I any good at all?
You are.
You just did it, but you really hardened yourself.
Which actually, that's further evidence
of how good a person you actually are.
I could never be the person
that Mrs. Drew is to you, but, sir, I'm here.
And unless you tell me otherwise, I'm not going anywhere.
No, you can't.
You can't go.
You belong here, like me.
You can't stay.
I don't think you'd get very far with me by your side.
I just can't get over you being here.
It's a full-on miracle.
Well, these'll have to come out, won't they?
They've turned London upside down, these touched.
I'm a fair man.
Reasonable.
I can't abide anyone who thinks they're above the rest.
Taking up resources and not giving them back.
Which is fine, I can tell us exactly what they're doing.
Careful you don't overcook it.
Right, of course.
I had the right idea with that Maladie woman.
Maladie?
Hang the lot, I say
I'm sorry.
Oh, that's really...
I didn't mean to.
Shh, shh, shh.
All right, darling.
Accidents happen.
We'll clean it up and no one will be the wiser.
Now, let's try that again, shall we?
I've taught you what I know about fighting.
Fighting's not enough.
These purists have their sights set on us.
It's not enough to just throw or punch.
We've got to be ready.
We have to learn to watch each other's backs.
And that goes for each and every one of us.
And with Amalia not here, we have to work together.
How can we work together when we can't even be together?
Annie, none of this matters anymore.
What's got into you?
There is a bill going through the House of Lords this evening.
It's standard reactionary nonsense.
Bale is keeping London safe, but there's an amendment pending.
And Anil said the vote could swing either way.
Wait, what?
It will make it against the law for the touch to gather.
They're going to separate us, split us apart.
So unless we find some useful precedent or a loophole,
the orphanage will be illegal.
Mom, where's daddy?
Well, Mr. Clutch!
Oh, I'm proud of it.
She's touched.
What have we been able to learn then?
I'll touch you all the way with this.
Stop when I use my turn.
Oh, it's a touch for you.
Ah!
I can see her!
Take that touch!
We're taking home to hell!
Oh, my baby!
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye!
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho!
Whip-a-whip-a-whip!
Whip-a-whip-a-whip!
Whip-a-whip-a-whip!
Whip-a-whip-a-whip!
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
We've got a lot going on, we can't stop them.
No it has to be today.
As soon as possible.
Bore someone else with the details, just make it happen.
Draw me a bath, send down *****
Yes ma'am, right away ma'am.
Oh my god, um, Lavinia.
Oh my god, my god, what happened?
There was an incident in the carriage, it was quite an ordeal.
That's awful.
Yeah.
I'm so glad that you're alright.
That remains to be seen.
Well, it was really lovely of you to have left the fundraiser to Auggie, it's a real
show of confidence.
Yes, yes, um, I hope you don't mind Vinnie, but in your absence I took the liberty of
finalising the plans.
Mind?
Not in the least.
You don't?
No, well someone had to do it, thank you Auggie.
Well, I'd best get ready.
Are you staying for lunch, Miss Adele?
Yes, yes she is.
Only if you approve.
Of course my darling, but we need to find you something to wear,
you can't come like that
Maybe one of the Paris dresses.
After all, I never did get a chance to wear them.
Come along Mr. Dar.
Don't worry Auggie, I'll take good care of her.
Sarah
What are you doing in here?
Nothing
Nothing, uhm..
I was just, I was just..
you sent me away
Sent you?
Is that why...
You're melancholic, inexplicably sad,
and I've tried everything to lift your spirits.
I know that I did.
And so to protect you from yourself, I, uh...
I sacrificed our family, our hopes and dreams,
our... our future.
For you.
It's all for you, my darling. I did it all for you.
Oh...
Please don't cry.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll do anything.
Anything?
Anything.
Give me your hand.
My hand?
Lester, Lester, no, please, no, no.
Please, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Believe me, this hurts me a lot more than it hurts you.
Lester, please, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Please.
My office is off limits.
Understand?
Tell me, who is the enchanting looking young woman at the end of the table?
She favors you in your younger days?
Before everything went wrong.
Your sister is staring.
Because you look beautiful.
The dress suits you.
That was a very kind of her to offer it.
But it is funny, I always thought she disliked me.
Me too.
Oh, no, sorry, no, me, not you, I thought you disliked me.
But she's your sister.
Yea, I know.
Maybe you're wrong.
Well, I suppose we'll see.
We'll see what?
Okay.
Lavinia, sorry, I know this is your occasion, but I hope you'll allow me to say a few words.
Yes, of course, Augustus.
I'm not very good at speeches.
The words tend to get all jumbled up in my...
I'm not jumbled now.
But I feel clearer today than I've ever felt in my life.
So I'd like to propose a toast.
To my sister.
Yes?
Yes, hello.
I'm here for the party.
Master and mistress are indisposed.
Actually, what is that?
Is that mahogany?
It's lovely.
So, when our father died, you stepped in.
That's not only to manage our family's interest, but also to manage me.
And I'm exceedingly grateful to you for that, for everything, because you just did so much
for so long.
And that's why I've decided that it's time to relieve you of some of that burden by assuming
control of the estate.
As our father's only son, it is rightfully mine.
The house, the lands, and the orphanage.
Don't worry, Lavinia, I'll still keep you in all the finery to which you've become accustomed.
You can still have your gowns and your hats and those little cakes that you like.
I really believe that it is high time that the home for the touched is run by someone
who actually is, someone who is actually, as a matter of fact, himself.
Alright.
Okay.
You in?
I'm in love with you.
Oh, I didn't realize there'd be entertainment.
Miss Bidlow.
What are you doing here?
Well, I'm here to show my support.
What is the meaning of this intrusion?
Shall I tell them all the lengths I've gone to for the cause?
Lavinia, what's he talking about?
Who is this man?
Collins, lay an extra place, please.
What?
Hmm, here, I think.
Lavinia?
I said add a place!
You...
This gentleman will be joining us for lunch.
Everyone as you were.
As you were, everybody.
You didn't tell me you were going to do that.
I wanted to surprise you.
Won't your sister be upset, though?
Don't worry about her.
Mrs Der. I presume?
Yep.
Yes.
It's...
It's an honor.
So the plan is I distract Massen.
The plan is you get me through the gate and you stay out of my fucking way.
I thought I was distracting Massen while you went to search for secret papers, unpaid
taxes, blood rights, that sort of thing.
Evidence?
Something to take Massen down.
Not get yourself killed in some ridiculous display of masculinity.
If you don't like my efforts, then you...
I'm here, aren't I?
Let's just...
Let's just not be rash.
That means stupid.
I know what it fucking means, you fucking prats.
Shut up.
He's a bit unkept for living here, isn't he?
American.
An inventor.
Oh.
How wonderful.
And what sort of things do you invent?
I don't know.
Just this and that.
Whatever's needed, really.
I think there's such beauty in inventing and arranging parts and pieces together to make
a wondrous whole.
And then there's that moment when everything sparks to life.
And well, it's...
It's otherworldly.
Precisely.
Precisely.
Mr. Bidlow, what was it you were about to say before?
High time for...
Nothing.
The moment passed.
Yes.
Yes.
Exactly.
Mrs Der.
Sorry, excuse me.
Oh.
Sorry.
You are meant to be my guest.
Oh, I thought that was the point of these
things, you talk to people you don't really know
I'm sorry.
What was I saying?
Fiction.
He's here, ma'am.
Keep an eye on him.
Excuse me.
Lord Massen.
Ms. Bidlow.
Thank you for coming at such short notice.
It's so rare to meet someone who sees the world like I do.
Oh, Miss Adair, I would love to see the world through your eyes.
To see her, all whispering amber, waves of
light, currents, reflecting and diffusing.
How do you know about that?
Oh, Miss Adair, I know much more than that.
We have in the past found ourselves on opposing sides in the matter of the touched.
We have.
You have often expressed your opinion that their afflictions are caused by some great
and powerful enemy.
If you're attempting to change my mind once again, Ms. Bidlow, it is a cause as lost
as the one you so desperately support.
The Prosperity of London bill is up for a vote tonight, is it not?
It is.
And as I understand it, your amendment hangs in the balance.
You needn't worry.
My peers have made it very clear that they have no intention of letting it pass.
Apparently, there's a feeling that I have overstepped the bounds.
I'm hardly surprised.
Men are like babies and can rarely see beyond the next feed.
But that is no matter.
Because what I have here will give you all the ammunition you need to sway the vote.
You're offering your support to an amendment that would dismantle your own orphanage.
Lord Merson, there can be no community for the touched while evil walks among them.
And I have seen it.
I have looked in its face.
A face so familiar to me that I cannot bear it.
It must be destroyed, pluck it out by the root, burn it in the fire.
You have only to strike the match.
I don't understand.
One hears all sorts of whispers down the telephone lines.
Are you Dr. Haig?
No.
Call me Edmund.
I'd rather not
No, no, no, no.
Don't you want to know what it was you encountered that day in your workshop?
And once marvelous and miraculous, like infinite possibility and hope.
Could you really bear not knowing?
I could show you.
I have a carriage just beyond the gates.
I leave in ten minutes.
With or without you?
How about fucking time?
Miss Adair?
Hello?
I'm sorry.
I was just thinking about Malia couldn't stay.
She was being pulled by something bigger.
I kind of...
I'm so sorry.
I think I have to go.
Yes, of course, of course.
Thank you.
Lord God says to rally the troops, prepare them for battle.
Yeah, we know, we know.
Drink your own before it gets warm.
Can I get some Irish whiskey?
This thing is fucking creepy.
Oi!
Make way!
You fucking death.
The girl said move.
I guarantee you don't want to piss her off.
First instalment, Avaganda.
Just a little taste huh.
When do we get the rest?
When you get your marching orders.
The hour of retribution is at hand.
Is it now?
You wait for my word, preacher.
Do you understand?
We understand, King.
Now, who's going to get me a drink?
Hold punch over there or I'll saw them out.
That whiskey is too shilings.
Watch.
Oi, doctor.
Odd place for your type to be wetting the whistle, don't you think?
Was just having a drink.
Just having a drink.
Yes, and now I'm finished and I'm going home
Finished
Yes.
Home
No.
Can't have you telling your little friends back at the orphanage
what we're up to with the purists.
I won't say a word.
Fucking right you won't.
You coming to bed?
I'll be there in a minute.
Hello.
Hello.
Were you in a bad mood?
I am.
I like it.
I thought you might.
Not so fast.
Let's play a game.
It's called How Long Can You Hold Your Breath.
You first.
What?
What the fuck do you think you're doing?
Playing a game.
Don't you like games?
No.
What's that darling?
You fuckin bitch
Thought that what you said
I win
What's the matter, love?
Yeah.
I know the feeling.
We all do.
Well.
Come on, then.
Ready?
Ready
Are you insane?
Are you?
Oh, my God.
Put it away.
Put it away.
I put it away
Pidgey!
Lord Swan.
We weren't expecting you.
Did you not get my telegram?
No.
No?
Are you sure?
I know I expressly told Rupert to send it.
It never arrived, sir.
Oh.
Well, I'm here now.
Never mind.
Should we go inside?
Oh.
But the master isn't in.
Isn't he?
No.
Well, that's marvelous.
I get you all to myself.
I'm sorry, Lord Swan, but we're not receiving guests.
Pigi, surely that doesn't include me.
You must have heard about my father, of course.
Of course, sir, yes.
Uh, I've, uh, been in a terrible state.
Really awful.
You know, the only thing which I think will make it remotely bearable is a cup of tea
and one of your wonderful brandy balls.
I just made a fresh batch.
Come in.
But don't tell the master.
I woudn't dream of it!
We never did see eye to eye.
He never warmed to me the way, well, the way he did to my brother.
I suppose I was always a bit odd.
Too cheeky for his taste.
He thought I ought to.
Family name.
Be more serious, I think, yeah.
Sos balls.
What is that BG?
Sometimes fathers make mistake.
Take your father.
It wasn't a trick you had.
It was spirit.
Try the key, dear.
Oh, my god.
Hello Lilly
Well, there you are. You've disappeared. Just like Miss Videra.
Do you know, in the future, I think I might have someone draw up a little schedule for
you so I know where you are at all times. What? What is it?
The last of our guests has finally arrived.
Videra! Videra, what the hell? What is this?
No, this is my house. Oh, don't make a fuss. Just like you, sir.
We all need to be relieved of our burdens once in a while.
You're gonna need it
You have no idea what I want.
I love you.
Falcon.
I've been looking all over for you
you're supposed to be in bed
Are you angry?
No.
Not with you.
got you're self a little hobby hall
I like that.
Can I see?
Still thinking about the other night?
Me too.
I know.
You try not to think about it so you dream it instead.
I want to look, but I can't help it.
Are you looking at my dreams?
Not just yours.
How do you see these things?
Mom says I'm touched.
She says what now?
Like you.
Only different.
But she told me not to tell.
What is that?
What is that?
Nothing.
Nothing?
Whose dreams are these?
Who is this?
The man is coming for us.
Care to explain?
Listen
It's no secret that I take issue with most of True's way

Stupid, stupid.
What if she's dead?
What if she's dead?
She could be dead, she could
be dead, she could be dead.
Or worse..
She could still be alive.
What if she's still alive?
Sir!
What, what?
Cook wants to know if today's engagement is still happening.
Engagement?
The luncheon, sir.
In aid of the orphanage.
And since Miss Bridlow's not back.

You're really home.
I'm home.
Come on.
She can't have left with it yet

No.
I did the right thing.
I'm so sorry, it's just no one seems to know where you were.

Yeah.

Oh, no.
To what do I owe this visit?
Well, actually, I'm in need of a favor.

Are you Edmund?
Yes.
There's a telephone call for you.
Hello.
Edmund.
Mother.
Darling, finally !
Hey, have you been?
I've been trying to reach you.
Mother, it's been so off.
Yes, darling, of course.
First they destroyed the house.
Sweetheart.
And then they abducted me.
And then I was tortured.
Edmund.
Sweetheart.
I am, of course, deeply sympathetic to your struggles,
and I want in due time to hear all about them.
But right now, I have news.
News?
Yes, my love.
I found it.
You thought it was lost.
Mother has it safe.
Soon we'll be together again.
Now all we need is one last piece of the puzzle.
It's a lovely day for a party.
So she chose to go after it, and I'm worried.
Of course you're worried.
She's your friend.
I will say, if anyone can handle themselves in crisis,
It's Mrs True
Well, that's certainly what you'd like you to believe.
Tell me, how can you be sure that you've done the right thing
when that thing just feels awful?
Well, I think you try to do your best as often as you can.
And maybe sometimes people get a bit bruised, unfortunately.
And, you know, you wonder, was that the best thing?
Am I any good at all?
You are.
You just did it, but you really hardened yourself.
Which actually, that's further evidence
of how good a person you actually are.
I could never be the person
that Mrs. Drew is to you, but, sir, I'm here.
And unless you tell me otherwise, I'm not going anywhere.
No, you can't.
You can't go.
You belong here, like me.
You can't stay.
I don't think you'd get very far with me by your side.
I just can't get over you being here.
It's a full-on miracle.
Well, these'll have to come out, won't they?
They've turned London upside down, these touched.
I'm a fair man.
Reasonable.
I can't abide anyone who thinks they're above the rest.
Taking up resources and not giving them back.
Which is fine, I can tell us exactly what they're doing.
Careful you don't overcook it.
Right, of course.
I had the right idea with that Maladie woman.
Maladie?
Hang the lot, I say
I'm sorry.
Oh, that's really...
I didn't mean to.
Shh, shh, shh.
All right, darling.
Accidents happen.
We'll clean it up and no one will be the wiser.
Now, let's try that again, shall we?
I've taught you what I know about fighting.
Fighting's not enough.
These purists have their sights set on us.
It's not enough to just throw or punch.
We've got to be ready.
We have to learn to watch each other's backs.
And that goes for each and every one of us.
And with Amalia not here, we have to work together.
How can we work together when we can't even be together?
Annie, none of this matters anymore.
What's got into you?
There is a bill going through the House of Lords this evening.
It's standard reactionary nonsense.
Bale is keeping London safe, but there's an amendment pending.
And Anil said the vote could swing either way.
Wait, what?
It will make it against the law for the touch to gather.
They're going to separate us, split us apart.
So unless we find some useful precedent or a loophole,
the orphanage will be illegal.
Mom, where's daddy?
Well, Mr. Clutch!
Oh, I'm proud of it.
She's touched.
What have we been able to learn then?
I'll touch you all the way with this.
Stop when I use my turn.
Oh, it's a touch for you.
Ah!
I can see her!
Take that touch!
We're taking home to hell!
Oh, my baby!
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye!
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho!
Whip-a-whip-a-whip!
Whip-a-whip-a-whip!
Whip-a-whip-a-whip!
Whip-a-whip-a-whip!
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
We've got a lot going on, we can't stop them.
No it has to be today.
As soon as possible.
Bore someone else with the details, just make it happen.
Draw me a bath, send down *****
Yes ma'am, right away ma'am.
Oh my god, um, Lavinia.
Oh my god, my god, what happened?
There was an incident in the carriage, it was quite an ordeal.
That's awful.
Yeah.
I'm so glad that you're alright.
That remains to be seen.
Well, it was really lovely of you to have left the fundraiser to Auggie, it's a real
show of confidence.
Yes, yes, um, I hope you don't mind Vinnie, but in your absence I took the liberty of
finalising the plans.
Mind?
Not in the least.
You don't?
No, well someone had to do it, thank you Auggie.
Well, I'd best get ready.
Are you staying for lunch, Miss Adele?
Yes, yes she is.
Only if you approve.
Of course my darling, but we need to find you something to wear,
you can't come like that
Maybe one of the Paris dresses.
After all, I never did get a chance to wear them.
Come along Mr. Dar.
Don't worry Auggie, I'll take good care of her.
Sarah
What are you doing in here?
Nothing
Nothing, uhm..
I was just, I was just..
you sent me away
Sent you?
Is that why...
You're melancholic, inexplicably sad,
and I've tried everything to lift your spirits.
I know that I did.
And so to protect you from yourself, I, uh...
I sacrificed our family, our hopes and dreams,
our... our future.
For you.
It's all for you, my darling. I did it all for you.
Oh...
Please don't cry.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'll do anything.
Anything?
Anything.
Give me your hand.
My hand?
Lester, Lester, no, please, no, no.
Please, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Believe me, this hurts me a lot more than it hurts you.
Lester, please, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Please.
My office is off limits.
Understand?
Tell me, who is the enchanting looking young woman at the end of the table?
She favors you in your younger days?
Before everything went wrong.
Your sister is staring.
Because you look beautiful.
The dress suits you.
That was a very kind of her to offer it.
But it is funny, I always thought she disliked me.
Me too.
Oh, no, sorry, no, me, not you, I thought you disliked me.
But she's your sister.
Yea, I know.
Maybe you're wrong.
Well, I suppose we'll see.
We'll see what?
Okay.
Lavinia, sorry, I know this is your occasion, but I hope you'll allow me to say a few words.
Yes, of course, Augustus.
I'm not very good at speeches.
The words tend to get all jumbled up in my...
I'm not jumbled now.
But I feel clearer today than I've ever felt in my life.
So I'd like to propose a toast.
To my sister.
Yes?
Yes, hello.
I'm here for the party.
Master and mistress are indisposed.
Actually, what is that?
Is that mahogany?
It's lovely.
So, when our father died, you stepped in.
That's not only to manage our family's interest, but also to manage me.
And I'm exceedingly grateful to you for that, for everything, because you just did so much
for so long.
And that's why I've decided that it's time to relieve you of some of that burden by assuming
control of the estate.
As our father's only son, it is rightfully mine.
The house, the lands, and the orphanage.
Don't worry, Lavinia, I'll still keep you in all the finery to which you've become accustomed.
You can still have your gowns and your hats and those little cakes that you like.
I really believe that it is high time that the home for the touched is run by someone
who actually is, someone who is actually, as a matter of fact, himself.
Alright.
Okay.
You in?
I'm in love with you.
Oh, I didn't realize there'd be entertainment.
Miss Bidlow.
What are you doing here?
Well, I'm here to show my support.
What is the meaning of this intrusion?
Shall I tell them all the lengths I've gone to for the cause?
Lavinia, what's he talking about?
Who is this man?
Collins, lay an extra place, please.
What?
Hmm, here, I think.
Lavinia?
I said add a place!
You...
This gentleman will be joining us for lunch.
Everyone as you were.
As you were, everybody.
You didn't tell me you were going to do that.
I wanted to surprise you.
Won't your sister be upset, though?
Don't worry about her.
Mrs Der. I presume?
Yep.
Yes.
It's...
It's an honor.
So the plan is I distract Massen.
The plan is you get me through the gate and you stay out of my fucking way.
I thought I was distracting Massen while you went to search for secret papers, unpaid
taxes, blood rights, that sort of thing.
Evidence?
Something to take Massen down.
Not get yourself killed in some ridiculous display of masculinity.
If you don't like my efforts, then you...
I'm here, aren't I?
Let's just...
Let's just not be rash.
That means stupid.
I know what it fucking means, you fucking prats.
Shut up.
He's a bit unkept for living here, isn't he?
American.
An inventor.
Oh.
How wonderful.
And what sort of things do you invent?
I don't know.
Just this and that.
Whatever's needed, really.
I think there's such beauty in inventing and arranging parts and pieces together to make
a wondrous whole.
And then there's that moment when everything sparks to life.
And well, it's...
It's otherworldly.
Precisely.
Precisely.
Mr. Bidlow, what was it you were about to say before?
High time for...
Nothing.
The moment passed.
Yes.
Yes.
Exactly.
Mrs Der.
Sorry, excuse me.
Oh.
Sorry.
You are meant to be my guest.
Oh, I thought that was the point of these
things, you talk to people you don't really know
I'm sorry.
What was I saying?
Fiction.
He's here, ma'am.
Keep an eye on him.
Excuse me.
Lord Massen.
Ms. Bidlow.
Thank you for coming at such short notice.
It's so rare to meet someone who sees the world like I do.
Oh, Miss Adair, I would love to see the world through your eyes.
To see her, all whispering amber, waves of
light, currents, reflecting and diffusing.
How do you know about that?
Oh, Miss Adair, I know much more than that.
We have in the past found ourselves on opposing sides in the matter of the touched.
We have.
You have often expressed your opinion that their afflictions are caused by some great
and powerful enemy.
If you're attempting to change my mind once again, Ms. Bidlow, it is a cause as lost
as the one you so desperately support.
The Prosperity of London bill is up for a vote tonight, is it not?
It is.
And as I understand it, your amendment hangs in the balance.
You needn't worry.
My peers have made it very clear that they have no intention of letting it pass.
Apparently, there's a feeling that I have overstepped the bounds.
I'm hardly surprised.
Men are like babies and can rarely see beyond the next feed.
But that is no matter.
Because what I have here will give you all the ammunition you need to sway the vote.
You're offering your support to an amendment that would dismantle your own orphanage.
Lord Merson, there can be no community for the touched while evil walks among them.
And I have seen it.
I have looked in its face.
A face so familiar to me that I cannot bear it.
It must be destroyed, pluck it out by the root, burn it in the fire.
You have only to strike the match.
I don't understand.
One hears all sorts of whispers down the telephone lines.
Are you Dr. Haig?
No.
Call me Edmund.
I'd rather not
No, no, no, no.
Don't you want to know what it was you encountered that day in your workshop?
And once marvelous and miraculous, like infinite possibility and hope.
Could you really bear not knowing?
I could show you.
I have a carriage just beyond the gates.
I leave in ten minutes.
With or without you?
How about fucking time?
Miss Adair?
Hello?
I'm sorry.
I was just thinking about Malia couldn't stay.
She was being pulled by something bigger.
I kind of...
I'm so sorry.
I think I have to go.
Yes, of course, of course.
Thank you.
Lord God says to rally the troops, prepare them for battle.
Yeah, we know, we know.
Drink your own before it gets warm.
Can I get some Irish whiskey?
This thing is fucking creepy.
Oi!
Make way!
You fucking death.
The girl said move.
I guarantee you don't want to piss her off.
First instalment, Avaganda.
Just a little taste huh.
When do we get the rest?
When you get your marching orders.
The hour of retribution is at hand.
Is it now?
You wait for my word, preacher.
Do you understand?
We understand, King.
Now, who's going to get me a drink?
Hold punch over there or I'll saw them out.
That whiskey is too shilings.
Watch.
Oi, doctor.
Odd place for your type to be wetting the whistle, don't you think?
Was just having a drink.
Just having a drink.
Yes, and now I'm finished and I'm going home
Finished
Yes.
Home
No.
Can't have you telling your little friends back at the orphanage
what we're up to with the purists.
I won't say a word.
Fucking right you won't.
You coming to bed?
I'll be there in a minute.
Hello.
Hello.
Were you in a bad mood?
I am.
I like it.
I thought you might.
Not so fast.
Let's play a game.
It's called How Long Can You Hold Your Breath.
You first.
What?
What the fuck do you think you're doing?
Playing a game.
Don't you like games?
No.
What's that darling?
You fuckin bitch
Thought that what you said
I win
What's the matter, love?
Yeah.
I know the feeling.
We all do.
Well.
Come on, then.
Ready?
Ready
Are you insane?
Are you?
Oh, my God.
Put it away.
Put it away.
I put it away
Pidgey!
Lord Swan.
We weren't expecting you.
Did you not get my telegram?
No.
No?
Are you sure?
I know I expressly told Rupert to send it.
It never arrived, sir.
Oh.
Well, I'm here now.
Never mind.
Should we go inside?
Oh.
But the master isn't in.
Isn't he?
No.
Well, that's marvelous.
I get you all to myself.
I'm sorry, Lord Swan, but we're not receiving guests.
Pigi, surely that doesn't include me.
You must have heard about my father, of course.
Of course, sir, yes.
Uh, I've, uh, been in a terrible state.
Really awful.
You know, the only thing which I think will make it remotely bearable is a cup of tea
and one of your wonderful brandy balls.
I just made a fresh batch.
Come in.
But don't tell the master.
I woudn't dream of it!
We never did see eye to eye.
He never warmed to me the way, well, the way he did to my brother.
I suppose I was always a bit odd.
Too cheeky for his taste.
He thought I ought to.
Family name.
Be more serious, I think, yeah.
Sos balls.
What is that BG?
Sometimes fathers make mistake.
Take your father.
It wasn't a trick you had.
It was spirit.
Try the key, dear.
Oh, my god.
Hello Lilly
Well, there you are. You've disappeared. Just like Miss Videra.
Do you know, in the future, I think I might have someone draw up a little schedule for
you so I know where you are at all times. What? What is it?
The last of our guests has finally arrived.
Videra! Videra, what the hell? What is this?
No, this is my house. Oh, don't make a fuss. Just like you, sir.
We all need to be relieved of our burdens once in a while.
You're gonna need it
