Estate, The (2025)

[bunniefuu]

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.

f*ck 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.

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, sh*t.

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 fianc.

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.

Look.

Yeah.

Back.

Who? It's him.

You. Okay.

They're coming for us.

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.

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 f*ck 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 wh*re 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.

f*ck nature. f*ck 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.

That's it. Two.

One. Two.

That's it.

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 a*s.

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 sl*ves.

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 tr*mp.

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?

f*ck!

f*ck!

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 f*cking 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 k*lling me.

What the f*ck 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 b*stard

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 f*cked. 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 as*h*le!

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 f*cking estate.

The place

where they were treated

like sh*t.

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.

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?

You're looking better.

Yes. Calm.

Oh. Your pills in your wake.

Are you

left them in the other room.

Oh I leave them. I don't want.

Well I'll help out

mama.

Mama from this.

Jesus singing famous.

Oh, you mean stand up?

I'm your father.

Throw

so what's the plan?

What am I going?

I'll sort something out.

Yeah.

My friends, we all.

The parting of the ways.

Isn't there some sort of ritual

we should perform?

Some kind of ceremony,

you know, drink

something vile from a

from a chalice,

or make a sacrificial offering

or something like that? No.

But listen, wherever we end up,

may we all come together again.

When it's all over.

Everything comes to an end.

And if my end comes.

Well.

Well, so be it,

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha buy some.

Goodbye, dear.

We should get going.

Where's Filippo?

You turn up, don't you worry.

Where is it?

I can't find it.

Nora, wait.

I packed it now what now?

I can't find the Nora.

It makes no sense.

It's time to go.

Yes, yes, it's time

like that.

Other new discoveries.

Which village?

Hold on.

I used to love

walking up and down in this

room.

Now you see them.

They.
