Maxton Hall Episode 5 - Im Auge des Sturms
Category
🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:00In 1882, meteorologists invented a new way of measuring wind speeds, the Beaufort scale.
00:30It has 12 levels and ranges from total wind silence to an organ.
00:37A storm that takes away one's sight and makes the rest of the world disappear.
00:46If I had known that a storm could feel like this, I would have kept an eye on you earlier.
00:55So this is what it looks like when you know what to expect from you.
00:59I'm sorry.
01:10I, on behalf of Director Lexington, would not be enthusiastic about the fact that the hostess of my party can be so distracted while everything in the hall is going smoothly.
01:24I'll be in a minute.
01:26Okay.
01:30Okay.
01:42Go.
01:59Go.
02:21To the car.
02:23Now.
02:29Hey, let me see.
02:50There you are.
02:59Okay.
03:30Oh, my God.
03:33Did the fuse blow out?
03:36You could say that.
03:40Um, Robin.
03:42Lexington to 10-1.
03:48Sir, there was a small glitch in one of the power cables.
03:51The power outlets, as you know, are not the most modern.
03:53I thought you'd have another party.
03:55But the gala is a complete success.
03:57The cash registers are ringing and all the guests are still wearing their clothes.
04:03I have already forwarded the original to the administration office in Oxford.
04:07Your application will be submitted.
04:11Thank you, sir.
04:13Miss Bell.
04:23Ruby Bell, who has been visiting our institution for just over two years,
04:26is not only an excellent candidate for Oxford University,
04:29she would be an enrichment.
04:31Okay.
04:33A committee group photo for the Hall of Fame.
04:35Okay.
04:38Today is the biggest affront I have ever had to bear.
04:42You are waiting for the most important moment for Beaufort in this decade
04:46to then turn it into a twin house like in a goddamn nightclub movie.
04:53After everything we went through because of you,
04:57until you took the boldness too seriously
05:00to represent our company there tonight ...
05:04You know I know the line to the smallest detail.
05:07I had the perfect speech on it.
05:09That doesn't change the fact that everything you touch ends in a disaster.
05:13It was like that when you were little.
05:15You always wanted to be first.
05:18But you never had the discipline required.
05:20Without me there would not have been a press conference.
05:23And it is your luck that I intercepted you in front of the press room
05:27before you could destroy the only good thing you have ever done for this family.
05:35What would we be with you?
05:37Our Casanova.
05:40Our self-proclaimed Romeo,
05:43who shits on family matters when it doesn't fit into his calendar.
05:46Who falls on his knees in front of me when it comes to the damn lacrosse training
05:50but doesn't get it done.
05:52On the one evening
05:54when we all count on him to do what he is told ...
06:03What is it?
06:08Do you have something to tell me?
06:13Cheers!
06:16To Ruby and Oxford!
06:18Oxford!
06:22I can't believe you get your letter of recommendation from Lexington.
06:26Yes, I have mine from Miss Hugh.
06:28I have to sneak in ...
06:30I'll be right back.
06:32See you later, Ruby.
06:37Mr. Sutton.
06:39May I?
06:41Yes, of course.
06:46Thank you.
06:53I don't think I ever thanked you.
06:58Thanked?
07:00Me?
07:02I wouldn't have been here the first week if you hadn't been there.
07:07You were always a role model for me.
07:12An Oxford graduate with an even smaller head than mine.
07:17I won't give up until I'm where I want to be.
07:24I promise.
07:46James.
07:52Well, James.
07:54How are you?
07:59All you have to do is open your mouth
08:02and put your new girlfriend's tongue in her throat.
08:16May I ask what your vision of the future looks like with this person?
08:20Do you want to move to Gormsey to this junkyard
08:23and push the wheelchair of your father-in-law every day?
08:30Are you out of your mind?
08:32This girl will never be more than a little gold digger
08:36who prefers to sleep up than to do something herself.
08:39And I won't allow ...
08:40Shut up!
08:42What did you say?
08:45What did I say?
08:53Say that again, you son of a bitch!
08:55Shut up!
09:09May I talk to my son?
09:20I have informed you exactly about Ruby Bell.
09:22I know that her father is dependent on the income of his wife because of his disability.
09:27I know that her account is overdue every month
09:31because her shabby bakery hardly throws anything away.
09:34I know that her little sister
09:37with some of her pictures on her blog violates copyrights
09:40and that the house where they live
09:42is still not paid off after 18 years.
09:46You will never change a word with this girl again.
09:49It costs me one call
09:52and she loses her scholarship.
09:55I make sure
09:57that her family can look around for a nice social apartment
10:01and that Oxford offers her the door in front of her nose.
10:08I take her life apart.
10:19I take her life apart.
10:49I take her life apart.
11:15Hey, can I have a word with you?
11:19Yes.
11:27And there they are,
11:29the incomparable, unforgettable Bofors twins.
11:32Lydia Bofors always looks incredibly good
11:35and with this look she probably needs a gun license.
11:38Later, you idiots.
11:41Yeah.
11:43Oh, captain, my captain!
11:45Is it Elaine Bissig who won or did Alyssa beat you up?
11:47Oh, yeah, cool.
11:50Hey, I heard you were at the gala too?
11:53Why didn't you come by?
11:55We really went all out in the beer boutique.
11:57Yeah, let's do that. How about tonight?
11:59Cyril looks like he could handle a counter beer.
12:01Not just one.
12:03Yeah, we'll go after the 4th and then...
12:05As long as the plans don't align...
12:07Who can we talk to?
12:09Here, in the school.
12:11In front of everyone.
12:13I mean later, with you.
12:15No interest.
12:17Please.
12:19Hey guys, what's up? Are you guys coming tonight?
12:22You want to party again?
12:24Yeah.
12:26I'm still pretty wasted from yesterday.
12:28Ah, so your date was a success.
12:30This is the last school year we're all going together.
12:32What was the plan, Cyril? Tell him.
12:34Party until the doctor comes.
12:36What? I didn't understand you.
12:38Party until the doctor comes!
12:40So, what's up? Are you enjoying the last school year together?
12:43Ah, there he is, the James Bofors I know.
12:44What's up?
12:49Are you okay?
12:51Yeah, everything's fucked up. How about you?
12:53I'm punishing my secret boyfriend with disrespect
12:56if he gives me the respect I deserve.
12:58And? Does it work?
13:00Sure, we're getting married tomorrow.
13:04Who?
13:14You.
13:20Is everything okay?
13:26Yes.
13:28What happened?
13:32I have to go to class.
13:45Let's break up.
13:47What?
13:49You said you'd leave me.
13:51You're doing your graduation somewhere else, I'm looking for a new job.
13:53You didn't want to.
13:55You said that...
13:57Forget what I told you. I can't stand it anymore.
13:59You're saying that now?
14:01And later you'll tell me again how irresponsible you are.
14:03I love you, Lydia.
14:08It doesn't change anything, Daniel.
14:10I love you, Lydia.
14:12You love this job.
14:14And I love you.
14:26And we'll start here.
14:33Where to?
14:39It's up to you.
14:41You're crazy.
14:47Come to the café on Thursday at 5 and we'll discuss everything.
15:08Ruby? Hello?
15:10I told you that Oxford knows to send your invitations to the interviews.
15:14And Jessa already got them today.
15:16Really?
15:17Yes, Jessalyn.
15:41Shit.
16:07Hey, are you okay?
16:11Go, go, go!
16:18Mr. Hughes, can I go to the toilet?
16:36Hey James, your girlfriend is here!
16:40Ruby!
16:46Go get them, Tiger. Go get them, Tiger.
16:55Well?
17:00Can you maybe take this off?
17:04Fuck.
17:08What's wrong with you?
17:09What's wrong with me?
17:10You're acting like an asshole. What's going on?
17:13Am I?
17:15Stop acting stupid and tell me why you're ignoring me.
17:23Was that the plan?
17:25I'm going to get close to Ruby so she can put in a good word for me.
17:36What were we doing that evening?
17:38Nothing at all.
17:40Did we go out?
17:47Who was that?
17:53Don't you want to know something about my family?
17:59What?
18:01Did you think we were going to walk hand in hand over Ruby?
18:05It was just a kiss.
18:08It was more than a kiss.
18:18Don't you seriously believe that someone like me could be interested in someone like you?
18:28Why are you like this?
18:33I'm sorry if you didn't understand what this was.
18:38But it's time to go back to the past, Robin.
18:52Let's go, boys.
19:07Let's go.
19:37Let's go.
19:54Ruby?
19:56Can you come here, please?
19:58What's going on?
20:07Come here.
20:18What is it?
20:23Honey?
20:26You stay here.
20:28I want you to stop it.
20:38It's for a stairlift.
20:40There's not much left.
20:42I don't want your money.
20:45Honey.
20:47You have to cope with so much.
20:50This is not your responsibility, it's ours.
20:53Then it's all nonsense?
20:55That we do things together in this family, help each other, are there for each other?
20:59Of course not.
21:01You're not going to work overtime for me next to school and applications.
21:04I can't help you with anything.
21:05No matter if I want to.
21:07No matter if it's the only thing I can do to make it up to you.
21:16What do you mean, make it up to me?
21:18Don't act like we don't all know that I'm to blame for you needing this damn lift.
21:22Ruby?
21:35Alles okay?
22:06James.
22:28Hey Mom.
22:29James, hey.
22:33Come, get up.
22:35Come.
22:38Come here.
22:45What happened?
22:47Wren.
22:49It was Wren playing lacrosse.
22:51I lost my stick.
22:53Good.
22:56Come, I'll take you to bed.
23:05Okay.
23:22Wren?
23:24Yes?
23:29Have you ever wished to be with someone else?
23:32I think everyone does sometimes.
23:44Were you unhappy?
23:51I...
23:53I was unhappily in love.
24:01I think in life everyone comes to a point at some point where he...
24:06has more or less grasped who he is.
24:11And he stops grasping for things that don't fit.
24:18I fell into work.
24:21I became a mother.
24:24And he?
24:29He took a different path.
24:32Sometimes people make each other unhappy, no matter how much they love each other.
24:37And it's better...
24:41then it's better to let go.
25:02What if letting go hurts too much?
25:11You can bear more than you think if you're convinced that you're doing the right thing.
25:20Go to sleep now, yes?
25:23Yes.
25:25Good night.
25:31Good night.
26:01You're invited!
26:06Everything okay?
26:08Yes, of course.
26:09No mail yet?
26:12Hey, I don't know anyone who has worked so hard for his application like you.
26:17You're invited.
26:19You just need a little patience.
26:21Getting some air also helps.
26:26Thank you.
26:31Hey!
26:33There she is!
26:35Our little mermaid.
26:38You're really bravely putting that away with your abduction, you know that?
26:42It's such a shame that I wasn't there.
26:45It was supposed to be extremely dramatic.
26:48Jenny!
26:50Jenny!
26:52Jenny!
26:54Jenny!
26:56Jenny!
26:59Jenny!
27:01James!
27:02James!
27:03Why?
27:04Why won't this work out for us?
27:06James!
27:13Do you know who knew right from the start that this wouldn't work out?
27:17He's not just blind.
27:19He's also stupid.
27:32Whatever, Elaine.
27:34You can have him.
27:37He's yours.
28:01Hey.
28:32Are you okay?
28:36It would be better if we focused on the fabric now.
28:38Not everyone of us has a friend in the teacher's office.
28:42The thing with Graham and me wasn't what you think, you know?
28:45I don't think anything.
28:47You think I would have thrown myself at my teacher?
28:49Or at myself?
28:52For the fact that I came to you first after Ruby and I had a fight.
28:56I'm sorry.
28:58I'm sorry.
28:59For the fact that I came to you first after Ruby and I had a fight.
29:01That's weird.
29:02You didn't even ask if the thing between Graham and me was real.
29:06It's not like he would tell us everything.
29:19We wrote e-mails to each other.
29:21For months.
29:23He was the first person I met who was interested in me without knowing my name or my family.
29:30I only knew that he was a student at the teacher's office.
29:32Nothing else.
29:36He was the first person I talked to when I woke up.
29:40And the last person I wished goodnight to.
29:45I don't know what he was expecting when we met for the first time, but...
29:50Suddenly this man appeared in front of me.
29:52I didn't know what to do.
29:57I knew that he would make my life hell if he got out of here.
30:02But a part of me knew that it didn't matter.
30:09I already loved him before he came into my eyes.
30:15When we found out that Graham would get the job at Maxton Hall, we knew that it couldn't go on like this.
30:22It just exploded inside of me.
30:24It was a kind of...
30:26failure.
30:28What allows you to have feelings?
30:30Beginner's mistake.
30:34We're pretty pathetic, aren't we?
30:35Emotionally crippled and completely unusable.
30:37What a shame for the name Baufeld.
30:39Yes, and then we're not alone.
30:52No.
30:54We're not.
30:56I promise.
31:22I love you.
31:24I love you, too.
31:52James.
31:54That's me.
32:23I love you, too.
32:49Is this something?
32:52Yes, but what?
33:23Did you have a nice day?
33:26My Shortbread Pyramid was 20 floors high today.
33:29I broke my own record.
33:32I'm sorry that I...
33:34I'm sorry, too.
33:42I...
33:44I thought a lot about what you said.
33:48Our family...
33:49is...
33:50really world-class in many ways.
33:52But unfortunately, it doesn't hurt to talk about it.
33:57That's why I wanted to thank you for doing it.
34:02After the accident,
34:04we were so determined to move on.
34:08We never really talked about what happened.
34:12But the accident doesn't just affect me.
34:14It affects you, too.
34:16And it has consequences for you.
34:19Hm?
34:25If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened.
34:30You don't know that.
34:32And you wouldn't be in this world, honey.
34:35What good are my stupid feet if you're not here?
34:39This is my fate.
34:41This is...
34:43my own path.
34:45And...
34:47my life...
34:49my life is fulfilled.
34:53And I'm grateful for every second.
34:56Standing...
34:58or...
34:59or sitting.
35:02Okay?
35:08I'd still like to contribute to a charity.
35:11You can spend your money on children's stuff.
35:13For the cinema, for dance parties and stuff.
35:17I'd much rather throw you out of my room
35:19like a real teenager.
35:20Okay.
35:21Deal.
35:40Ruby?
35:41What's wrong with you two?
35:42The coffee's getting cold.
35:46Come on!
35:57Come on, do it!
35:58Read it!
36:05Dear Ruby Bale,
36:06we're happy to be able to help you...
36:16...in your life.
36:25Show me what you've got.
36:28You're lying on it.
36:30Oh.
36:35And?
36:3610 out of 10 Oxford points.
36:40I've got wrinkles.
36:41Let me iron them out.
36:43I know this would be the perfect moment to take revenge
36:45but luckily for you I love you more than it's good for me.
36:51Here.
36:53Someone wants this dress for something we'll never talk about again.
36:55Did you fix it?
36:56I hope it'll still be 500.
36:59Then we can buy the elevator.
37:04No!
37:05No!
37:15No!
37:46Thank you, Mom,
37:47for a few more kilos of sentimental weight and expectations on my shoulders.
38:02What if I don't?
38:03Would that change anything?
38:07What do you mean by that?
38:08That I hate university.
38:10That I say I want to stop.
38:12That I want to quit.
38:13That I don't want to be the catchphrase for young Beaufort.
38:15That I don't want to have anything to do with the company.
38:18What then?
38:20You have access to one of the best universities in the world.
38:24To the management of one of the most traditional companies in England.
38:28A safety net that will always catch you.
38:30You have the chance to turn the world upside down.
38:34I can't believe you don't understand how lucky you are.
38:37Luck doesn't mean the same for everyone, Mom.
38:38You said that yourself.
38:42Good.
38:44If it's not what you want, what do you want then?
38:50The chance to find out exactly that.
38:59James, you're still so young.
39:02I don't want you to regret at some point
39:04the chances we gave you to throw away.
39:13When I was young, I didn't understand my parents either.
39:15And today I'm infinitely grateful to them for that.
39:19Because Beaufort is my home, my story.
39:21And that's why it will automatically be mine, of course.
39:27Your parents were in Oxford, you were in Oxford.
39:29Of course I'm going to Oxford, too.
39:32You took over the company.
39:33Of course I'm taking over the company.
39:37Then you can leave quietly again.
39:40I don't want to dance out of tune.
39:43I don't want to give in.
40:10To the sea, the sea of love
40:15I want to tell you
40:22How much
40:27I love you
40:33I love you
40:40Do you remember when we met?
40:47That's the day I knew you were my pet
40:52I want to tell you
40:59How much
41:04I love you
41:10I love you
41:29I want to tell you
41:36How much
41:40I love you
42:05I want to tell you
42:08There are people who carry a kind of compass with them.
42:12People who say the right thing at the right moment.
42:17Do the right thing.
42:20And feel.
42:30These people find their happiness, no matter what life throws at them.
42:35I want to tell you
42:38How much
42:42I love you
43:06Do you need help?
43:09No, thank you. I'll get it.
43:12Come.
43:16Thank you.
43:18No problem.
43:19Do you have a lot of interviews here?
43:21So the accommodations are...
43:22Across the lawn and twice to the right.
43:25Thank you.
43:26You're welcome.
43:29Nice to meet you.
43:35I love you.
43:51And then there's the other kind of people.
43:54Those whose compass is disturbed.
43:59Those who decide the wrong thing at the right moment.
44:02And the only way to prevent you from losing your mind
44:07is to look forward.
44:09Never back.
44:18A death-proof method.
44:21If you manage to stick to it.
44:32I'm on my last round, baby
44:41But you can make me change my mind
44:49I never asked to become famous
44:52But I guess, but I guess
44:54That's who I am
45:01Where the world turns
45:07Where the light burns
45:13Hold me there first
45:16And let earth stand
46:02I love you.
46:03I love you.
46:04I love you.
46:05I love you.
46:06I love you.
46:07I love you.
