00:05:40You're late.
00:05:42Oh!
00:05:44Larry, look.
00:05:46Three surprises in one day are enough.
00:05:48Told you I'd see you later.
00:05:50Three?
00:05:52Mark Fields.
00:05:54But he's been mugged.
00:05:56Mugged?
00:05:58How? I mean, where?
00:06:00I don't know the details, just that he was, that's all.
00:06:02Bad enough to take him to hospital, too.
00:06:04But that's why I'm so late.
00:06:06News I react to with mixed feelings.
00:06:08What?
00:06:10Always had the feeling Mark fancied you.
00:06:12More than somewhat.
00:06:16Hmm.
00:06:18Out.
00:06:20Out.
00:06:22I'll give you ten minutes.
00:06:24Penny?
00:06:26Hmm?
00:06:28Okay. Okay.
00:06:30I'll bring the car around the front.
00:06:32♪♪
00:06:42♪♪
00:06:52♪♪
00:07:02Hey, you!
00:07:06What do you think you're up to?
00:07:08You gonna pass?
00:07:10I don't know you got in here, but you can be sure you're going out right now.
00:07:12This way. Come on.
00:07:16What's going on?
00:07:18Sister Mary.
00:07:20I didn't mean any harm.
00:07:22I just wanted to see you, that's all.
00:07:24To talk to you about the fan club. Your fan club.
00:07:26Come on. Fan club?
00:07:28We're starting one devoted to you.
00:07:30The Sister Mary Fan Club.
00:07:32I'm sorry about this.
00:07:34There's been a mistake. I invited him.
00:07:36You, miss?
00:07:38Sorry, I forgot to tell the main gate.
00:07:40Well, come in.
00:07:42Won't you?
00:07:50Well...
00:07:52Mr...
00:07:54Um...
00:07:56Rook.
00:07:58Charles Rook.
00:08:00I can't tell you what a great honor it is...
00:08:02You mentioned fan club, Mr. Rook,
00:08:04and that's an irresistible phrase to any actor.
00:08:08Tell me more.
00:08:10The formation's all agreed.
00:08:12The membership, everything. All we need
00:08:14is your blessing, so to speak, Sister Mary.
00:08:16My blessing.
00:08:18Your patronage.
00:08:20To make it official.
00:08:22There's a magazine planned.
00:08:24Club premises lined up.
00:08:26Premises? How big is this club?
00:08:28The membership is...
00:08:30is substantial
00:08:32and loyal.
00:08:34It's the Sister Mary Fan Club.
00:08:36Just for me?
00:08:38Oh, you're deeply loved, Sister Mary.
00:08:40More than you know.
00:08:42It's crazy!
00:08:44My part in the show is...
00:08:46Well,
00:08:48it is important, I suppose,
00:08:50but it isn't big.
00:08:52Certainly not a starring role.
00:08:54To us, it is, Sister Mary.
00:08:56To us, you are a shining star,
00:08:58an example to all of us.
00:09:02It really is crazy.
00:09:04No, it's fact.
00:09:06We've been preparing layouts
00:09:08for a long time.
00:09:10We've been preparing layouts
00:09:12for the official magazine.
00:09:14We haven't been able to decide which one yet,
00:09:16but we thought that you might
00:09:18make the final choice.
00:09:20You really mean it, don't you?
00:09:22It isn't a joke.
00:09:24No, I...
00:09:26I wouldn't joke about something like this.
00:09:28No, of course not.
00:09:30I'm very
00:09:32flattered.
00:09:34Then you'll agree. You see,
00:09:36it won't really mean anything
00:09:38unless you officially say yes.
00:09:40Of course I agree.
00:09:42By the way,
00:09:44I do wish you'd call me Penny.
00:09:46That's my real name, you see.
00:09:48Penny Stacy.
00:09:50Yes.
00:09:52I prefer Sister Mary.
00:09:54Oh, it's marvellous that you agree.
00:09:56There are a lot of things
00:09:58I want to discuss with you, of course,
00:10:00and I'd like to send you
00:10:02some of the proposed brochures.
00:10:04Do you think I could have your home address?
00:10:06Don't see why not.
00:10:08It's 4B
00:10:10Streetly
00:10:12Towers. Are you the president?
00:10:16Secretary or what?
00:10:18Both. Until we can have
00:10:20formal elections, of course.
00:10:22I can't tell you
00:10:24what this means to me, Sister Mary.
00:10:26Do you know I've watched every episode?
00:10:28I've collected every bit of information
00:10:30about you, but to actually meet you...
00:10:32Mr Rook.
00:10:34I'm very sorry,
00:10:36but I'm going to have to throw you out.
00:10:38Of course.
00:10:40I'm sorry. You must be tired.
00:10:42No, it's just that I do have
00:10:44other things to do.
00:10:52Sister Mary.
00:11:04...
00:11:20You were going to tell me about
00:11:22Taiwan.
00:11:24It was hot.
00:11:26Right. Your descriptions
00:11:28are so graphic.
00:11:30Let my camera tell the story,
00:11:32remember?
00:11:34Anyway, I hated the place.
00:11:36Why?
00:11:38Two very good reasons.
00:11:40One, the story I was supposed to be covering
00:11:42didn't happen.
00:11:44And two?
00:11:46And two,
00:11:48you weren't there.
00:11:50...
00:12:00Now, who do we think
00:12:02that is?
00:12:04Someone with lousy timing.
00:12:06...
00:12:20...
00:12:26Sister Mary.
00:12:28Mr Rook.
00:12:30I'm sorry to disturb you so late,
00:12:32but I saw the light was on.
00:12:34Well, if it isn't number one fan.
00:12:36Well, you'd better come in.
00:12:38No, not if you're busy.
00:12:40Not anymore, we aren't.
00:12:42It's all right. Come in.
00:12:44Larry, this is Mr Rook.
00:12:46Larry Turner.
00:12:48Is he one of the monks?
00:12:50A monk?
00:12:52Well, not exactly, Mr Rook.
00:12:54Larry is my fiancé.
00:12:56Fiancé?
00:12:58That's right.
00:13:00That can't be right.
00:13:02Nuns aren't allowed to marry, are they?
00:13:04My fiancé, Mr Rook.
00:13:06Penny Stacey's.
00:13:10You mustn't make the mistake
00:13:12of mixing me up with Sister Mary.
00:13:14No, I suppose not.
00:13:18Well, what was it
00:13:20that you wanted to see me about?
00:13:22Some details on the magazine.
00:13:24But it doesn't matter now.
00:13:26Now you're here, you might just as well discuss
00:13:28whatever it was that you wanted.
00:13:30No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have burst in on you like this.
00:13:32It's all right.
00:13:34Because I'm thinking of me.
00:13:36Please, forgive me.
00:13:38Mr Rook, it...
00:13:48It's all right.
00:14:08What did you make of him?
00:14:10Who?
00:14:12Rook. Him.
00:14:14What did you think of him?
00:14:16Sad.
00:14:18A nut?
00:14:20No.
00:14:22Look, anyone who can cherish
00:14:24an image, someone he doesn't
00:14:26even know,
00:14:28he's got to be loose somewhere.
00:14:30Well, isn't he?
00:14:32Compensating, I think he's a sad man.
00:14:34I hate him.
00:14:36What?
00:14:38He interrupted us.
00:14:40Yes, well, I was about to anyway.
00:14:42Early morning for me tomorrow
00:14:44and I have lines to learn.
00:14:48OK.
00:14:56Shall I, um,
00:14:58phone for a cab?
00:15:00No, no. I'll get one outside.
00:15:15But...
00:15:17tomorrow night.
00:15:19Tomorrow night.
00:15:45Mmm!
00:16:06Larry!
00:16:15Hey, Charlie!
00:16:17Can you come and move this down a bit?
00:16:19Vicki, what's about the new ceiling?
00:16:21I'm doing it. I'm doing it.
00:16:23Charlie, can you give me a bit of space?
00:16:27Oh, hi, Mark. You OK?
00:16:29I'm fine, thanks.
00:16:31Hello, Mark.
00:16:33Do you know, I honestly think that the emphasis
00:16:35is all wrong in the scene.
00:16:37But it's my scene.
00:16:39You have the lines, but the scene
00:16:41is about me, my character.
00:16:43Which I understand is the camera
00:16:45really should pan round...
00:16:47She's game.
00:16:49She's what?
00:16:51Pity. I didn't think she'd turn up today.
00:16:53Why ever not?
00:16:55It's her fiancé.
00:16:57Ah, yes, of course.
00:16:59But of course she had to. It's the duty of the real trooper.
00:17:01The show must go on.
00:17:03Well, whoever thought up that phrase is an idiot
00:17:05or a sadist.
00:17:07Who is it?
00:17:09Mark.
00:17:11I'll leave if you wish.
00:17:13No, I'm due on the floor in a minute.
00:17:17Well, there's nothing I can say except
00:17:19if you need a shoulder.
00:17:21Thanks.
00:17:29I'm making a stupid fool of myself.
00:17:31No, go ahead.
00:17:33Cry.
00:17:35It's better if you cry.
00:17:37I wish I had.
00:17:39I wish I had.
00:17:43After my wife died,
00:17:45instead I turned to the bottle.
00:17:47Tears would have been better and cheaper.
00:17:51I haven't even asked you how you are.
00:17:53Oh, I'm okay now, except for this and
00:17:55a few bruises that I couldn't show you
00:17:57unless I knew you a whole lot better.
00:17:59It's crazy. I came all the way from New York
00:18:01to be mugged in London.
00:18:03Was it a gang or what?
00:18:05I don't know. It's all very hazy.
00:18:07I think it was just one man, though.
00:18:09Hardly anyone believes me, though.
00:18:11The story is that I got drunk
00:18:13and fell down a flight of stairs.
00:18:15How could they?
00:18:17Oh, I guess I deserve it.
00:18:19I've tied down some good ones these last couple of years,
00:18:21but not recently and not that night.
00:18:25Anyway,
00:18:27I'd better let you get ready,
00:18:29but if there's anything...
00:18:31Anything.
00:18:37You got the best scene this week.
00:18:39Tony's ripping mad about it.
00:18:43Then that is my last word.
00:18:45I have nothing more to say.
00:18:49Nothing whatsoever.
00:18:55Okay, studio, that's fine.
00:18:57On we go.
00:18:59Precious. Little to say in the scene, either.
00:19:01Supervisor.
00:19:03Dickie, can we set up for scene 12, please?
00:19:05Oh, Penny, my love.
00:19:07Thank you, dear.
00:19:09Oh, Tony, you've finished now, haven't you?
00:19:11Thanks very much. You can go now.
00:19:13It's ridiculous giving the whole weight of the show to that girl.
00:19:15She has no style at all.
00:19:17Bye, Tony. I'll see you tomorrow.
00:19:19I tell you, it's about time she was written out of the show altogether.
00:19:21Bye.
00:19:35Bye.
00:20:05Bye.
00:20:23Mr. Mary, there is no room here
00:20:25for individualism.
00:20:27We all have our faults and doubts in the beginning,
00:20:29but we learn to put them behind us.
00:20:31We learn through suffering
00:20:33and self-privation.
00:20:35I've tried. I promise you.
00:20:37I've tried.
00:20:39You haven't tried hard enough,
00:20:41so now I must guide you
00:20:43by punishing your body,
00:20:45by wrecking it.
00:20:47It's the only way to get at the soul.
00:20:49Pride must be driven out of you, Sister Mary.
00:20:51Oh, Superior, please, try to understand.
00:20:53You must find humility,
00:20:55and to find humility,
00:20:57you must be humbled.
00:21:03You must be humbled.
00:21:17You're safe, isn't it?
00:21:19C.J.'s Television.
00:21:21Can I help you?
00:21:23I'm afraid the producer isn't available at the moment.
00:21:25Can I take a message?
00:21:27Hello, C.J.
00:21:29Television. Can I help you?
00:21:31I'm sorry about that, but after all...
00:21:33Well, it is only a programme, and I don't...
00:21:35Sir?
00:21:37Not calling.
00:21:39Saints and sinners,
00:21:41tell Mother Superior to lay off,
00:21:43Sister Mary, or else.
00:22:01Oh!
00:22:09Oh!
00:22:31I thought so.
00:22:43Can't concentrate on anything?
00:22:45Everything would seem useless,
00:22:47no ray of sunshine anywhere.
00:22:53I've been there, remember?
00:22:55In this...
00:22:57I've been there, remember?
00:22:59In this...
00:23:01is no answer.
00:23:07I can't get him out of my mind.
00:23:11He was...
00:23:13so alive.
00:23:15Yes, I know, and you loved him very much.
00:23:17You'll forget him.
00:23:19You have to, Penny. He's gone.
00:23:21You have to face that.
00:23:23The sooner, the better.
00:23:25That's why I'm here.
00:23:27This is no time for you to be alone.
00:23:29What you need now is noise,
00:23:31people around you.
00:23:33Believe me, it's the best possible thing.
00:23:35No, no.
00:23:37Look, Penny, it won't help you to forget,
00:23:39but it might help you to cope.
00:23:43Dickie's throwing a party.
00:23:45Dickie, our floor manager.
00:23:47Well, he wanted to invite you,
00:23:49but he thought it would be in the worst possible taste.
00:23:51I have very poor upbringing,
00:23:53so I don't have any taste.
00:23:57Might do you some good.
00:23:59Maybe.
00:24:01You'll give it a try?
00:24:05Good, good. Come on.
00:24:07I'll get a cab.
00:24:09You go on in there and get some clothes on.
00:24:11Or get on with it.
00:24:23Sister Mary.
00:24:43Sister Mary.
00:24:53Sister Mary.
00:25:01Sister Mary.
00:25:03Sister Mary.
00:25:23Oh!
00:25:25I'm sorry.
00:25:27I didn't mean to frighten you.
00:25:29The door was open.
00:25:31I knocked.
00:25:33I called, too.
00:25:37You look very pretty.
00:25:39Oh, thank you.
00:25:41I prefer you in your real clothes, though.
00:25:45Uh, you mean
00:25:47the nun's habit?
00:25:49Mr. Rook,
00:25:51I have told you before...
00:25:53Penny, I've got the cab waiting.
00:25:55Mark,
00:25:57this is Mr. Rook.
00:25:59A great fan of mine.
00:26:01And Mark feels you know, of course.
00:26:03How do you do?
00:26:05Yes. The American priest.
00:26:07I'm glad you decided
00:26:09not to let the lusts of the flesh get the better of you.
00:26:11Lusts of the...
00:26:13He means the show, Mark. You remember?
00:26:15A week or two ago, they wrote it so that you were taking
00:26:17a very unhealthy interest in Sister Mary.
00:26:19Yes. I hated that.
00:26:21Hated it.
00:26:23Mr. Rook takes it all
00:26:25very seriously, don't you?
00:26:27Of course.
00:26:29I haven't missed a single episode.
00:26:31Not since the fifth week. Fifth week?
00:26:33Well, that's when you joined the show, isn't it?
00:26:35That's right.
00:26:37Sister Mary missed the train and had to accept a lift
00:26:39from that terrible man.
00:26:41Oh, I hated him.
00:26:43George, you mean? Yes.
00:26:45Do you know, I really couldn't stand him.
00:26:47It was the way he looked at you.
00:26:49Well, he isn't in the show
00:26:51anymore.
00:26:53Yes. Poor George.
00:26:55He was dropped after he broke his hip.
00:26:57I know.
00:26:59Bit of bad luck. He just stepped off the curb and the car...
00:27:01was fate.
00:27:03God's will, perhaps.
00:27:05Yes.
00:27:07Look, Mr. Rook, I think it's
00:27:09about time we all said goodbye.
00:27:11We have a party to go to, don't we?
00:27:13Yes. Party?
00:27:15We'll talk some other time.
00:27:17Oh.
00:27:19Well, I didn't come here to talk.
00:27:21Not just to talk. I brought you this.
00:27:23It's a very fine one.
00:27:25I'm not religious, but the man
00:27:27I bought it from assured me that it was a very fine one.
00:27:29Yes, it looks like an antique. Very old. Thank you very much.
00:27:31And you'll be able to use it.
00:27:33In the show? Yes.
00:27:35Not just then. All the time.
00:27:37Sorry, Mr. Rook, but like you,
00:27:39I'm not very religious either.
00:27:41What?
00:27:43To my shame, I'm not much of a church-goer
00:27:45at all.
00:27:47But you're a nun in the Holy Order.
00:27:49That's just in the show.
00:27:51I have told you.
00:27:55If it makes any difference.
00:27:57I mean, if you don't want me to have it.
00:27:59No, I...
00:28:03No, I...
00:28:05I bought it for you. Please keep it.
00:28:11Well.
00:28:13We certainly do find them, don't we?
00:28:15All wound up about
00:28:17saints and sinners.
00:28:19Still.
00:28:21Harmless enough.
00:28:23I suppose so.
00:28:49Lovely party, dear.
00:28:51Ah, thank you.
00:28:53A darn noisy party.
00:28:55Good job I'm your next-door neighbour.
00:28:57Especially if I hadn't invited you, eh?
00:28:59He had to. I feed this thing for him
00:29:01whilst he's away.
00:29:03By the way, have you heard about my car?
00:29:05Who hasn't?
00:29:07Absolutely ruined.
00:29:09I tell you, if I could lay my hands on whoever did it,
00:29:11I'd kill him.
00:29:13If I could lay my hands on him, I'd give him a medal.
00:29:17Why, hello, girls!
00:29:27I'm sorry.
00:29:29I got cornered over there.
00:29:31It was a mistake, wasn't it? Bringing you here was just a big mistake.
00:29:33The very worst, I told you.
00:29:35He didn't twist my arm. He meant well.
00:29:37Sorry, Mark.
00:29:39I'm just not in the mood for a party.
00:29:41It was about ten minutes ago, so I called a taxi to take you home.
00:29:43No.
00:29:45Mark, listen.
00:29:47Listen, it is. It's a super party.
00:29:49Yeah, but not for you, eh?
00:29:51Well, look, I'll see you home. Come on.
00:29:53Penny.
00:29:55Look, there's no sense in us both being miserable.
00:29:57Stay on, enjoy yourself, honestly.
00:29:59I absolutely insist I'm going straight home.
00:30:01Take a pill and get some sleep.
00:30:03Well, then, at least let me see you to the car.
00:30:05Hey, that's the host prerogative. Come on, Penny, love.
00:30:07Look, Mark, why don't you go and shut up that redhead over there?
00:30:09I don't know her name, but if she goes on drinking the way she is,
00:30:11we'll have to close up the place before midnight.
00:30:21Bye, love.
00:30:39Well, I think you're wrong.
00:30:41Quite wrong to build up these minor characters.
00:30:43It's much too much for these young hearts.
00:30:45Indeed, it's much too much for you, don't you tell me.
00:30:47Oh, nothing of the sort.
00:30:49Now, now, you're beginning to get jealous of Penny Stacey.
00:30:51I don't know what rubbish fashion I'm in.
00:30:53You need to develop as a character.
00:30:55And there's some key scenes between you.
00:30:57She'll do very well, won't she, love?
00:30:59I bet she's doing especially well, especially since...
00:31:01Dickie.
00:31:03Dickie.
00:31:05Dickie.
00:31:07Dickie.
00:31:09Dickie, what happened?
00:31:11Where's Penny? Penny?
00:31:13Yes, Penny, where is she?
00:31:15She got into the cab.
00:31:17Well, then what is it?
00:31:19Then some crazy...
00:31:21He must have been raving drunk.
00:31:23He just drove straight at me.
00:31:25If I hadn't jumped...
00:31:27I need a drink.
00:31:29Of course you do, Tony.
00:31:31Dickie, are you all right?
00:31:33Yeah, I think so.
00:31:35I'm just more shaken than anything.
00:31:37Did you see the driver get the license number?
00:31:39I didn't get the number. I told you another second.
00:31:41If I hadn't jumped, I didn't get the number.
00:31:43Come on here, Dickie, here.
00:31:45Thanks.
00:31:49Look, I'm sorry.
00:31:51There's no damage done, just...
00:31:53Just me glasses.
00:31:55Look, our night as far as cars are concerned, is it?
00:31:57Well, first of all, my tires,
00:31:59and now this.
00:32:01Unlucky coincidence.
00:32:03Coincidence?
00:32:05Hurry up, Penny!
00:32:07That'll be lovely, thanks.
00:32:09OK, just coming.
00:32:19Mr. Rook.
00:32:21Good morning, Sister Mary.
00:32:23You see?
00:32:25It'll be in the show today.
00:32:27There won't be any show unless I get a move on.
00:32:29I wanted you to be the first one to have this.
00:32:31Number one, volume one.
00:32:33It's incredibly professional.
00:32:35Must have cost a fortune.
00:32:37It's worth every penny.
00:32:39I doubt a top star rates anything as grand as this.
00:32:43Only the best for you, Sister Mary.
00:32:45The very best.
00:32:47I don't know how to thank you.
00:32:49I do.
00:32:51The clubhouse.
00:32:53Penny, come on!
00:32:55Just a second.
00:32:57What do you mean, the clubhouse?
00:32:59I told you we were getting premises arranged.
00:33:01Yes.
00:33:03We're cleaning them up tonight
00:33:05and hoping for an official opening on the 10th.
00:33:07You can't make it.
00:33:09The 10th?
00:33:11Joe's going purple and so am I, so come on now.
00:33:13Yes, all right.
00:33:19You see, what did I tell you?
00:33:21Give her an extra scene,
00:33:23and she thinks she's the star of the show,
00:33:25keeping us all waiting like this.
00:33:27Now, sit her down, please.
00:33:29Penny's here now, Joe.
00:33:31About time.
00:33:33I'm sorry, I'm late.
00:33:35Would you like to talk to me?
00:33:37Penny, my love, please.
00:33:39All right, all right.
00:33:53Joe.
00:33:55Yes, sir?
00:33:57I'm not too happy about this scene.
00:33:59Oh, my love, we discussed it.
00:34:01I've had a little time to think about it.
00:34:03I know I'm supposed to be a hard man,
00:34:05but I am a fair one,
00:34:07certainly not a brutal one.
00:34:09Well, you just say the lines as we rehearse them, okay?
00:34:11All right.
00:34:13Right out of character.
00:34:15Oh, Dickie, come on.
00:34:17For heaven's sake, let's get this show off the road.
00:34:19All right, all right.
00:34:21Okay, studio, let's have a bit of quiet.
00:34:23Rehearsal studio, stand by.
00:34:25Ten seconds.
00:34:27Just a minute, if you don't mind.
00:34:29Five, four, three...
00:34:35Father, it has to be this way.
00:34:37It has to be.
00:34:39I shall leave you alone for a few minutes,
00:34:41but remember,
00:34:43it's Sister Mary's decision.
00:34:45Mary,
00:34:47you're too young to make a decision like this.
00:34:49My mind is made up.
00:34:51Then I shall have to unmake it.
00:34:53No, Father.
00:34:55You're my daughter, for Pete's sake.
00:34:57I am me, my own person,
00:34:59and you're not going to sway me,
00:35:01twist me.
00:35:03You're not going to ruin my life
00:35:05the way you ruined Mother's.
00:35:07Okay, studio, that's fine.
00:35:09We're going for a take.
00:35:11Stand by for a take on that, studio.
00:35:13Right, all right?
00:35:15Yes, thank you.
00:35:19That wasn't so bad, was it?
00:35:21No, on the contrary, I thought it worked extremely well.
00:35:23I especially enjoyed slapping that little...
00:35:25Ah, congratulations, my dear.
00:35:27Very nicely played.
00:35:29Very nicely.
00:35:31Thank you, too, Mr. Sher.
00:35:33Mind your own blast at this moment.
00:35:35I hope I didn't hurt you too much
00:35:37with that little slap.
00:35:39I should hate to think that I...
00:35:41Fan Club?
00:35:43The Sister Mary Fan Club.
00:35:45Well,
00:35:47must have taken quite a bit
00:35:49to produce her so glossly.
00:35:51A lot of fans that are rooting for you, Penny.
00:35:53Good night.
00:35:55Good night, Julie.
00:35:57Good night, Mark.
00:35:59Ah, Tony, don't worry. I'm sure somehow, somewhere,
00:36:01there's someone who loves you, too.
00:36:03I should hurry.
00:36:05Probably hordes of fans waiting outside to mob you.
00:36:07Good night, Tony.
00:36:09Tony, do us a favour, will you?
00:36:11What?
00:36:13Well, I've got to work late, so will you feed my cat for me?
00:36:15I hate cats.
00:36:17Oh, come on. You've done it before. It won't take a minute.
00:36:19Look, the food's in the cupboard and you can leave the key under the mat.
00:36:21No.
00:36:23Tony, didn't I read in that last interview you gave
00:36:25that you were very fond of animals?
00:36:29All right.
00:36:33Cats, I'll feed you in a minute.
00:36:35See you later.
00:36:39There we go.
00:36:45There we go.
00:36:57Oh!
00:37:03There we go.
00:37:09There we go.
00:37:15Come on, kitty cat.
00:37:17Good.
00:37:19Good.
00:37:25Good.
00:37:27Good.
00:37:29Good.
00:37:33Oh!
00:37:35Oh!
00:37:39Oh!
00:38:05He is a bore, I know.
00:38:07A terrible egotist.
00:38:09But who would want to do that?
00:38:11It's all...
00:38:13horrible.
00:38:15Poor Tony.
00:38:17And poor Dickie, finding him like that.
00:38:19Dickie!
00:38:21What's new?
00:38:23Well, he's still in a coma.
00:38:25Transferred to the intensive care unit.
00:38:27Intensive care?
00:38:29There's a chance he may not make it.
00:38:31He's lost a lot of blood.
00:38:33It was such a lot of blood.
00:38:35Well, what happened?
00:38:37Well, it was obvious he interrupted somebody
00:38:39burgling my place.
00:38:41You know, if I hadn't worked late,
00:38:43it could have been me.
00:38:45A burglar? I mean, that's the police theory.
00:38:47Oh, yeah, of course. What else?
00:38:51And now what? A show?
00:38:53Well, it's obvious Tony isn't coming back.
00:38:55There are meetings going on now.
00:38:57Scriptwriters are soiling it out.
00:38:59Your father is to die in a car accident.
00:39:01It's going to throw all the schedules out of gear.
00:39:03Including Tony's?
00:39:05Yeah, I see what you mean.
00:39:07What hospital is he in?
00:39:09St. Benedict's, but there's no point you going to see him.
00:39:11He won't even know you're there.
00:39:13Well, all the same.
00:39:15Yep.
00:39:17Well, I'd better be going.
00:39:23Could have been me.
00:39:25Could have been me.
00:39:33Mary, I'm sorry.
00:39:35I'm desperately sorry.
00:39:37An accident?
00:39:41How badly was he hurt?
00:39:43Very badly.
00:39:45You must visit.
00:39:47He may not recover.
00:39:49Father.
00:39:55Don't cry.
00:39:59Don't cry.
00:40:03Oh, please.
00:40:05Don't cry.
00:40:09I didn't mean to hurt you.
00:40:11I did it for you.
00:40:13I'm sorry.
00:40:23I'm so brutal to you.
00:40:37Hi. Time for a drink?
00:40:39Yes, but remember, there's no visitors after eight.
00:40:43How is he?
00:40:45Well, he's still in a coma.
00:40:47Three days now, but there's still a chance.
00:40:49Look, hold this.
00:40:53Hello.
00:40:55Sister Mary.
00:40:57Oh, hello, Mr. Brooke.
00:40:59I said I'd call.
00:41:01What?
00:41:03Well, you haven't forgotten, have you, the 10th?
00:41:05You said you'd let me know.
00:41:07The 10th.
00:41:09Oh, yes. Oh, sorry.
00:41:11The official opening. You will be there.
00:41:13Uh, well, you see...
00:41:15Oh, I've spent so much time, effort, getting it ready.
00:41:17If you didn't turn up now, it would be a disaster.
00:41:19Um, Mr. Brooke...
00:41:21Everything is arranged, every detail.
00:41:23What time did you have in mind?
00:41:25About four.
00:41:27You can make it.
00:41:29Oh, well, you've gone to so much trouble,
00:41:31I couldn't possibly let you down, could I?
00:41:33No, that'll be all right, Mr. Brooke.
00:41:35Um, four o'clock.
00:41:37Thank you, Sister Mary. I'm so grateful.
00:41:39I gather it's your pet nut.
00:41:41What? What was that?
00:41:43Um, four o'clock, Mr. Brooke.
00:41:45I'll pick you up myself and drive you there.
00:41:47Yes, fine.
00:41:49We'll immortalize you, Sister Mary.
00:41:51You'll be as you are for ever and ever.
00:41:53That sounds great.
00:41:55Look, I'm awfully sorry I've got to rush now,
00:41:57but thanks very much for calling.
00:41:59Bye.
00:42:01You know,
00:42:03he's going to immortalize me
00:42:05so that I stay as I am forever and ever.
00:42:07Ha, ha, ha.
00:42:37Moore.
00:42:39Detective Sergeant Moore.
00:42:41How do you do?
00:42:43Well, his breathing's easier.
00:42:45Well, it might be my imagination,
00:42:47but his breathing seems easier.
00:42:51You family, are you?
00:42:53No, we're just, uh...
00:42:55We're friends. We all work together.
00:42:57Yeah, saints and sinners, yeah.
00:42:59I've seen you, your Sister Mary.
00:43:01How do you do?
00:43:03How do you do?
00:43:05Yeah, I've seen you, your Sister Mary.
00:43:07Has he...
00:43:09Well, has he tried to say anything yet?
00:43:11No, no, not a word since he was brought in.
00:43:13Probably died that way.
00:43:15Without a word, I mean.
00:43:27Coffee?
00:43:29No, I think I need a drink.
00:43:31Scotch.
00:43:35Thanks.
00:43:45Well, sit down.
00:43:47I'll get your drink.
00:43:51Oh, Mark.
00:43:53When I saw him, I...
00:43:55I kept thinking of Larry.
00:43:57Well, so did I.
00:43:59But for a different reason.
00:44:01Too many coincidences.
00:44:05A few days before it happened,
00:44:07somebody slashed the tires on Tony's car.
00:44:11There's Larry,
00:44:13Tony,
00:44:15and me.
00:44:17Well, I know it's old ground,
00:44:19but then again, there was George.
00:44:21George?
00:44:23You remember. His hip was broken.
00:44:25It was a car accident.
00:44:27Well, accident or not, the result was the same.
00:44:29He left the show.
00:44:31Penny...
00:44:33I think someone
00:44:35has a grudge against the show.
00:44:37That's ridiculous.
00:44:39Is it? Think about it.
00:44:41Who would want to?
00:44:43I mean, for what reason?
00:44:45I don't know. That's the puzzling part about it.
00:44:47But to every puzzle
00:44:49there's an answer somewhere.
00:44:51Somehow I think I have it.
00:44:53That tune
00:44:55you can't recall.
00:44:59Maybe.
00:45:03Look, you're tired and upset,
00:45:05and I'm just agitating you.
00:45:07I'll see you tomorrow.
00:45:09Good night.
00:45:13Penny, don't pay any attention to me.
00:45:15I'm just crazy, that's all.
00:45:17I think that mugging
00:45:19must have rattled my brains.

00:46:59four o'clock precisely. I see you did as I asked. yeah well come in for a minute.
00:47:19thank you. I must say I feel pretty silly going out into the street in these
00:47:24clothes. no no the car's right outside. it is only right that the sister Mary
00:47:28fan club should be opened by sister Mary. as she is. as she really is. excuse me.
00:47:38is it far this place? no about 30 minutes. I looked at so many places before I
00:47:47found the right one. we bought the freehold. good then you'll be able to
00:47:54make a profit when you sell it again one day. we're not going to sell it. no
00:48:01it's a permanent monument. that was very important. permanent forever and ever.
00:48:06you'll change your mind when the series comes to an end and sister Mary is no
00:48:10more. that won't ever happen. you ready? yes.
00:48:24nothing. you got any thoughts about a nine-letter word meaning retribution?
00:48:51mind you I'd have to start with an X and end with a Q. I got all the others
00:48:56wrong. which wouldn't surprise me. I'm terrible at these things. mr. Barton can you hear me?
00:49:06perhaps. who hurt you mr. Barton? did you see him? voice. he spoke and you heard his
00:49:20voice. is that what you mean? what did he say mr. Barton? what did he say to you?
00:49:25away. keep away. away from what? away from who? sister. mr. Barton. mr. Barton.
00:49:50narrows it down a bit. keep away from my sister. wasn't burglary it was revenge.
00:49:57either he or the fellow whose flat it was. mucking around with a woman. she had
00:50:03an angry brother. yeah I'll check on that right away. no no wait a minute. he didn't
00:50:09finish it. not my sister but sister Mary. that's what he was trying to say. it was
00:50:13the same thing with me. stay away from sister Mary. you're not making yourself
00:50:18clear. it was him and he killed Larry.
00:51:48we planned it all very carefully. it's exactly like sister Mary's domain. the
00:51:59convent the courtyard everything. do you like it? it's different. it's perfect.
00:52:08would you like a glass of sherry? thank you. where are the others?
00:52:18they'll be along shortly. I wanted you to myself for a few moments.
00:52:28can't blame you for that can you sister Mary?
00:52:38now what? we'll take a look anyway. no wait a minute. she hides the key
00:52:43here somewhere. here it is. that's great. she hides a key then tells you where to
00:52:53find it. I'm a friend. statistically if a girl's gonna have trouble it'll come
00:52:58from a relative or a friend.
00:53:08there's nobody here. I forgot she she went to open up some fan club. nice of
00:53:22you remember that before we came rushing over here. well I'm sorry it's just that
00:53:25ever since I made that connection my mind has been there. look is that where
00:53:28she's gone? fan. film fan. pop fan. I just remembered that the word fan is an
00:53:37abbreviation. you know what for don't you? I told you I'm no good at crosswords.
00:53:40well it's short for fanatic. the obsessive desire and involvement with the
00:53:44public image. keep her the way she is forever and ever. what? that's what he
00:53:51said to her. what do you suppose he meant? I don't know. look if he is responsible
00:53:58for what happened it's because he cares for sister Mary because he wants to
00:54:03protect her. so there's no cause for panic is there? all I know is he sounds
00:54:11nutty. nutty people are dangerous. they can switch change course without logic.
00:54:16secretary Rook. president Rook. no address. the printers.
00:54:33it's awfully cold in here. used to belong to a butcher. cold storage.
00:54:53oh thank you. well show me the rest of it. with pleasure. I designed it all
00:55:09myself. then had it made up. oh that must have cost quite a bit. hmm when my mother
00:55:18died she left me comfortably off. enough. go on mummy. no I do miss her.
00:55:29what's around there? I'd rather you...
00:55:38I was saving this until later. the grand finale.
00:55:48I don't know that I should let you in but I suppose being pleased...
00:56:18leave it. you were wrong. no need to panic. you said there's every need. what do you mean?
00:56:34it's obvious by all these pictures that he just he just wants to protect her.
00:56:37he's crazy about her. these aren't Penny. these are a girl we've been looking for
00:56:42for 18 months. 18 months she's been missing. he's in a fantasy that could
00:56:48take him anywhere. where do you suppose he's taken her?
00:56:56this doesn't appear in the show anywhere. I know. well the writers would kill you
00:57:04you know if they knew you were changing the storyline. the show's one thing but
00:57:10this is real. shouldn't the others be here by now? others? yes the other fan
00:57:24club members. yes I always intended...
00:57:33I couldn't share you with anyone sister Mary.
00:57:43I've had to. I hated that.
00:57:50but not anymore.
00:57:57I won't have to share you anymore.
00:58:03take a look at some of these will you?
00:58:24this could be it. purchase of an old coal store. that's not ten minutes from here.
00:58:32he said he was going to immortalize her. what? invoices for embalming fluid.
00:58:42I won't harm you. I couldn't bear to break your skin. the drink will make you
00:58:50sleep. it's just a triple dose of sedative that's all. I take them myself
00:58:58when I can't sleep. thinking of you. and then once you are asleep I'll suffocate
00:59:08you. you won't feel a thing.
00:59:14I've worked it all out for myself.
00:59:17you see my mother was wrong. I can work things out for myself.
00:59:25but I've had to. there were too many you see. too many people.
00:59:34knowing you. touching you.
00:59:40abusing you.
00:59:43I couldn't deal with them all.
00:59:48well I couldn't deal with them all could I?
01:00:00I got the idea from a magazine. then I sent off for all the books all the
01:00:05materials. I'm sure I can do it. it's this place you see. it's perfect.
01:00:13so cold. constant cold temperature. that's what they do to Saints you know.
01:00:21embalm them. preserve them forever.
01:00:27you see
01:00:30I'm not religious. but then I mean neither are you.
01:00:38you're not religious at all.
01:00:44but I do know goodness.
01:00:51and you are good.
01:00:58there's such a lot of badness in this world.
01:01:04not enough good people.
01:01:08that's why we have to hang on to them don't we?
01:01:13preserve them.
01:01:32you are so very good.
01:01:43oh
01:03:43you
