As a returning officer for Westminster ...
I declare that the Votes is as follows:
Ferdinand Alf: 10,167 votes.
August John Melmotte: 10,443.
Augustus John Melmotte has been elected as a representative of Westminster.
This House will recognize ...
that the English glove industry is about to die out ...
if this cheap import continues ...
from countries that people never like has heard income tax ...
and it is our duty if English is ...
for a tax on this import to demand.
Special circumstances... - No, that's wrong.
Mr. Brown is supposed to know that protectionism doesn't work ...
and never will work. That way you can't stop trading.
Hat off, hat off.
Order, order.
The honorable Member knows not yet...
that he is not another member appeals by name ...
but as an honorable Member from Whitechapel.
And when a member speaks, he takes off his hat.
Go ahead, Mr. Melmolte.
I said what I wanted to say. He should know better.
That's all.
The honorable gentleman from Grimsby.
What an idiot thing. Why did I let myself choose?
Mr. Montague, a pleasure to see you.
It is very busy today. If you wait ...
No, I'm going in. - Oh, excellent ...
Mr. Montague, back from Mexico.
The work went well, I hear. Too bad it was demolished.
Because the money that you did not promise.
Time. That is common at such large companies.
We have to reserve money for unforeseen things.
Don't worry, you get it your railroad will eventually.
No. You have milked the company out for all your other things.
And to acquire property yourself and finance your election.
Is that right?
I'm going to make everything public. - You shouldn't do that.
You are a good guy, though you are a bit of a burden.
But we have a lot in common. We see things that others don't see.
It's not about money, but to create something great.
Changing the world. To do something which we will remember.
Everything revolves around trust of the public.
If you have that, you can do anything.
Like ordering your own company.
That is under your dignity, Mr. Montague.
I throw my heart owl and you come with base allegations.
I can do that too. Keep it up, and I'll drag you to court.
Then you go to jail. I tried to help you.
If you want to ruin yourself, go ahead.
Augustus Melmotte is sitting get out of the storm.
Cm “...
Let sir out. - I think so myself, thank you.
Good afternoon, Mr. Croll. - Always a pleasure to see you.
He will kill us.
No, we have experienced worse.
I wish you all the luck. - You are kidding me.
Do you think I want to make you unhappy see? It's no use crying over spilled milk.
Maybe I'm not getting married May Paul Montague.
I do not understand. - That's why I asked you here.
Felix told me about Paul, something nasty.
He says that Paul has a mistress.
An American, Mrs. Hurtle. Is that true!
How can I be honest about him? - Just tell the truth.
All right then. Paul was having an affair with Mrs. Hurtle in America.
I believe they would marry. He said the engagement was over.
It is true that she is now in the country ...
and that they met.
I can't say more than that.
Our friendship has ended, but I don't blame him.
You have to ask him yourself.
Mr. Montague, this is what I suspected all along.
I didn't expect the evidence from one of the directors.
Will you not come back to your word?
No, whatever the consequences may be.
Yes, Mr Melmotte will try muzzling us with the law.
But we publish it. London will be upside down.
Melmotte's castles in the air will to collapse.
You sell your shares before the price starts to fall?
No, that does not play a role for me.
I just wanted a railroad to lay. And I want that now.
I put my best man on it. 'No track in mexico. Where's the money? "
You have tied the cat to the bacon.
Lady Carbury, Sir Felix ...
Before you say something you are not welcome in this house ...
and won't be my daughter anymore to speak. Your engagement has ended.
How so? What is it?
You know that damn well. Your mistress in Islington.
Felix mother I just want to talk to him.
Is she your mistress? - No.
Are you engaged to her?
That was more than two years ago. It was already over when I met you.
Do you love her? - That is over. I love you.
She's in England. Why do you meet her '?
I thought it would be for her was also owl.
And so you went with her to Lowestoft?
Yes, at her request. For her health.
Have you seen her since?
Just once. It is really out, you have to believe me.
You never said anything about her when you courted me.
Why would I believe you now? - Because it's the truth.
I thought you never had to to know. That was wrong.
But I tried decently to act towards both of you.
You loved her and let her down.
You can do that with me too.
Go back to Mrs. Hurtle and keep your wedding promise.
You gotta be kidding me. - Why not?
Because you love me ... - Do not touch me.
You don't have the right to talk about love.
I want you to go now.
Are you really giving me the punch? - Like you did with her.
Goodbye, Mr. Montague.
You have the announcement from you and Ruby published?
Yes. It is next week in the newspaper.
If we have it black on white seen, you may meet Ruby.
Not before. - He has traveled that far.
Don't believe him at his word, Mrs. Pipkin.
For English gentlemen doesn't mind a promise.
Don't hit me like that. I know everything about you and that Montague.
That doesn't concern you, Sir Felix.
I say yes. I have the honor protect my sister.
Your sister's honor is secure.
There is nothing left between me and Mr. Montague.
Oh, Mrs. Hurtle ...
You better go now, Sir Felix.
You are certainly welcome when the engagement has been announced.
Watch how the big one Carlini always escapes.
Good evening. Sorry to bother you so late.
I know you. Mr. Crumb, the miller. You come for Ruby.
Indeed, Mrs. Pipkin.
It was mean that she made me stupid because I believe you.
You really put it in the paper, don't you? - Of course, in due course.
When? I want to know. I don't even have wedding clothes yet.
I've had enough of that nonsense, Ruby. I love you and everything ...
but you didn't think so that I would really marry you?
You promised.
I need a rich girl. What else do I have to live from?
But we can still have fun, just like Mrs. Hurtle?
Come upstairs. - No, I'm leaving. It is over.
I thought you loved me, but you fooled me.
I know a man who is much better then you. Let me go.
Leave me alone. - Don't be stupid.
Yes, that's how you thought about me all this time. It's over, you'll never see me again.
Okay, then I'll give you a souvenir with it.
Let me go, nasty guy. - Take your legs apart.
Help, police.
Is it you, Ruby?
I'm here, Ruby. - John?
You, there ...
Okay, scrape. Bring it on.
You are a scaffold yourself.
Get up, you bastard. - No, I've had enough.
No, it is not.
Don't kill him.
Take care of this girl, agent. She is dear to me.
Arrest me if you want. I have done that.
And I don't regret it.
How many were it this time?
About six, mother. They put pinches me in a dark alley.
Then don't go to dark alleys. No wonder you were attacked.
It was all because of Hetta. I saw Montague's mistress.
She was rude. I had to interfere with my own affairs.
I do not care. Mine she can have Montague.
I'll never see him again.
Do you still marry your cousin Roger? - No, mother.
How annoying is that girl. - Mother...
He's there. - Let him in, Croll.
Mr. Alf, nice of you that you are come. Have a seat.
Surprised that I let you come? - Niel really.
You withdraw as a member of parliament and want to make a statement.
No, I was chosen fairly and do not resign. For nobody.
I want you to recall your dogs. - My dogs?
All this nonsense is irresponsible. Have you seen the stock price?
Good guys jump through you out of the window.
Their widows and orphans starve on the street.
My newspaper beats the facts.
Feil is that you have a railroad would moor.
The fact is that you did not do that.
But I'm going to do it. If you come to me I had explained.
It is a matter of timing. And said among us ...
if you buy now, do you see the rate rise ...
and will be the panic sellers look on their nose.
I do not think so.
Let me tell you that I do too sent a man to Vienna.
Listen, Alf. VW] two would not to be enemies.
We both had to fight in this world.
Unlike those princes, baronets and dukes.
We started with nothing, but made something of ourselves.
That's why I respect you and you should respect me.
I don't need privileges either.
But I value honesty, justice and truth.
Me too. But sometimes you have to be flexible to do a job.
For the sake of others.
I never thought that was necessary.
Then you are a liar or a fool.
Hopefully not. I use my newspaper to tell the truth ...
as good as I can. And I don't like being insulted.
So I'm going now.
So you are a champion of the truth?
It's easy to stand on the sidelines ...
while better men to move mountains.
Maybe the world would do you better if you did something for it.
That would be right if you were the world changed and moved mountains.
But the only thing you resist is money.
From the pockets of others in yours.
Good day, Mr. Melmotte.
Hello, sir. Always a pleasure to see you in the city.
They want their money for Pickeling Park or return the deeds of ownership.
And Mr. Brehgert requires collateral for the new loan.
Already?
I'm a little tired, Croll. Let me go home early.
Go through the back door, sir. - I will do that.
I'm a little tired.
A bit tired because I like everything must keep running.
Some gratitude would be in place.
I am grateful, Mr. Melmotte.
I know that, Croll. I know that.
We'll be fine, Mr. Melmofie?
Of course it will.
Did it really happen to him?
How should he get on top of it?
No, it's that Alf with his Evening Pulpit.
And that Montague. How much is the rate dropped? 50 percent?
42 percent of the issue value. - Hopefully it won't be too bad.
He still owes us 80,000 Pickering Park. Not seen a cent.
Did you sell your shares, Grendall? - No, not me.
All rumors. I hold them. You must do it too.
The words of a brave man.
Dear Mrs Hurtle ...
Mr. Paul Montague has stuck and certainly talked about me.
I would be grateful if I put you up could visit an afternoon.
Well, Miss Carbury.
Yes, I'm glad you came. You imagine everything ...
but you are precise as he described you.
Sit down, Miss Carbury.
Why did you come? To celebrate your victory?
No, I want to know ...
whether you still consider yourself as engaged to Mr. Montague.
What is he saying?
That the owl is looping you both. - Oh yeah?
Then he lies.
Maybe he would like it out but that is not the case.
He no longer feels it Same to you?
What do you know about his feelings? for me?
What he tells me.
His feelings for me or mine you are not concerned with him.
He loves me now.
What is an engagement worth? without love?
How do you get there? that there is no love anymore?
Nothing like Paul Montague felt for me ...
had he visited me again and again? Here, in my private rooms.
He would have taken me then to a seaside resort ...
and in the same hotel have stayed?
He said he was there with you for your health.
Yes, that's how he got it of course said.
You English have a gift for those things.
Does he have...
Does he have love there? proficient with you?
Do you have the right to ask me that?
I don't know, but I ask.
What do you think usually happens, Miss Carbury ...
as a man and a woman as a couple stay in a seaside hotel?
You don't want to hear the details?
No. Thank you, Mrs. Hurtle.
Thank you for receiving me.
I didn't want to know more.
Bye.
Mr. Brehgert, you have news about the railroad in Mexico?
Will Melmotte and Co plummet?
It is not that far yet. The sun shines behind every cloud.
Then let him pay his grocer, damn.
This is a solid company, Mr. Brehgert. Founded on rock.
As solid as the Bank of England.
We will grin that wipe their faces.
I'm happy about that. But now the shares have fallen ...
want my partners see collateral.
Otherwise we will reluctantly claim the debt.
I don't recommend that, Mr. Brehgert.
Then you may not receive anything. - So it's really that bad?
No, I'm just kidding.
Melmotte has enough money tucked away.
He is not coming, he is superstitious.
But you are a good friend. You can see it.
You will see that Melmotte and Co as solid as what is. Sit down.
The money is from Marie, you see.
It's in her name and I add something every year.
A substantial amount that I never have want to appeal, that's all.
If the money is there ...
you do it at this stage not to speak.
But the bank must see it there is and that hell is available.
That is no more than fair.
And that railroad is coming? - I put my life into it.
I put my life into it.
Frankly, we have something taken too much hay ...
because there are so many options occur.
India, Canada, China.
These are big companies, Mr. Brehgert.
They can be the largest of this island trade nation in the world.
They may be grateful that I wanted to become an Englishman.
But they are not. It seems so a bunch of biting dogs.
We will take care of it immediately for that collateral.
You are very friendly been before me.
Thanks to you I got to know the lady whom I will marry soon.
But now you seem to be worried.
Can I help you in any way?
Write it off as a bad debt blame and remain silent about it.
Mr. Melmotte, you know ... - Come on, I'm kidding.
Don't worry about Melmotte, you get your money.
Go and say sweet words empty your lovely fiance.
Then go.
I want to leave this house
Then go quickly, my dear. Have you heard from your family?
Dad purpose awful. I do not know if I ever want to talk to him again.
Your father wrote to me in very strong language.
I'm used to that.
But the world is changing ...
and if we are married, might be a bit milder for me.
Or else? Maybe I isolate myself from my family ...
and most of my friends if i marry someone ...
of a different faith.
I want clarity about what you offer me.
Of course. I want too that everything is clear.
As for faith, feel free to practice your own religion.
You will possibly have children raise as you wish.
I hadn't thought of that. - The children I already have ...
I don't want to know anything about that. - Nothing?
They have a governor, but of course I hoped ...
Why of course? They are not my children, are they?
No, Georgiana, but they are essentially part of me.
If you accept me, You accept everything I am and have.
I see that differently. Or do you want sometimes that I come to work at your bank?
That is not the same. - Don't start talking about your children anymore.
They will live in Fulham and we in our new home in London.
Unfortunately I have to say ...
Is the house in London canceled? - That is temporary.
I foresee the coming week heavy losses.
My bank gave me a big loan to a company that is going down.
So you go bankrupt? - No, far from it.
But a second home in London, in a good neighborhood ...
with all the furniture and hell you deserve ...
that will not happen in the next few years be possible. Sorry.
Do I have to live in Fulham? - If only it wasn't. But unfortunately...
Listen carefully, Mr. Brehgert ...
when you made me your proposal, promised you a house in London.
You may not have understood that a good house is a necessity for me.
I have to be in town during The season. How can you be so stupid?
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it is temporary.
You keep saying that. Don't you understand?
It is unacceptable that I am in Fulham would live with your Jewish children ...
if only a week, a day.
You shouldn't have asked me if you did not have sufficient resources.
No, I shouldn't have done that. I understand Dal now.
Thank you for making that clear to me have made.
Consider our engagement but as terminated.
I never have the illusion wrong...
that you are a passionate one felt affection for me.
But I fooled myself that your interest is not entirely ...
financial in nature.
We apparently have both of us mistaken.
I wish you all the luck. See you soon, Miss Longestaffe.
Mr. Brehgert ...
He is gone. It is all over.
I received the voucher from a Jew.
What is the news about Melmotte, sir?
Dear Helta, I cannot bear it that I have lost you forever.
I was a fool. I had you right away have to tell the truth ...
but I never lied.
My love for Mrs. Hurtle was before I met you.
If you really love me don't let us be separated.
My love for you is so intense that I can't live without you.
For Miss Hetta Carbury.
You have the right to be angry but you break my heart ...
and I think so too. Please show me again.
With dear affection, Paul Montague.
Mr. Longestaffe senior and junior and Mr. Squercum ...
want to speak to Mr Melmotte urgently. - He is not here.
Push the door, Mr. Longestafle.
But Sir... - I said it's urgent.
Where's Mr Melmotte? - Mr. is not finished yet.
Then it's time he got up.
Where do you think his bedroom is?
Is this possible, just walk around someone's house?
Gentlemen ...
you are welcome. But isn't it early?
My clients have urgent matters to discuss.
Is that right? And who are you?
Squercom from Squercom and Co. Lawyers at Fetter Lane.
Never heard of it.
But you are welcome. Let's go to my office.
Do you want a glass of cognac with water '? - Well ...
No, we come for the money Pickering Park or the title deeds.
My client is clear, the money or the papers. This morning.
80,000.
If you have to, then you will receive the deeds.
I don't have that much money my cardigan pocket. Don't you think, Croll?
As you say, Mr. Melmolte. - Then the deeds.
Wait. Did you see it? He half demolished it.
That's not how we take it back.
Maybe payment in installments then? - No way.
Let's listen to his proposal.
50,000 on Friday ...
the rest the following Friday.
He doesn't have it. The whole of London says he is bankrupt.
Then you better take the deeds. - Can we get that in black and white?
With pleasure, gentlemen. Set it up, Croll.
Wonderful to do business with you.
Dolly, inside.
The most embarrassing day of my life.
Give me the papers.
Wait here. You have to witness later are at the signature.
What a pleasant homey scene.
What do you want, Dad?
Mommy ...
before we left Paris, I collapsed a large amount in your name.
Yes, nobody was allowed to join if you ran into problems.
Who says I have problems? - Everybody.
You are getting carried away. - Let Dad talk, baby.
I put it in your name ...
but wanted to be able to access it. After all, it's mine.
But it's mine.
Legal, but it does not belong to you.
Anyway, this is for your own good.
For your wedding with Lord Niderdale things must be arranged.
You only need these papers to draw once or twice.
Mr. Croll is waiting outside. He must be a witness.
No dad-
Are you saying no to me?
If I marry, my husband will get everything. Why would I give it away now?
I do not believe you. You are your money lost and now wants to steal mine.
Steal? It has never been yours.
Then do whatever you want. I don't draw.
Understand me well.
I need this money tomorrow in the city...
otherwise I will be ruined.
Think of everything I have for you have done. Look around you.
We have come this far, from the gutters of Europe, Marie.
I lived from leftovers like a dog, so that you could live as a lady.
And now look at yourself. You get up the point of marrying a nobleman.
I never wanted to live like a lady. - Thankless child. Small powder.
Don't talk to me about the gutters from Europe. I've seen everything.
I saw you scam, stole and lie and left debts everywhere.
For you.
You never loved me. It was all for yourself.
And what did you do with my mother?
Nothing could be done about it.
Marie, will you do this for me now ...
and save us all of the downfall?
No, I don't do it.
Ungrateful little beast.
Mr. Croll.
M! Mom.
That is not the right way.
Loeder.
I can, of course, on her behalf to draw.
I'm her father and it's my money.
But Brehgert wants of course that there is a witness.
We've known each other for a long time, Walter.
It is a small thing to draw so that I get my own money.
Go back to the city. I'll persuade her.
In each case I'll come in half an hour.
Jawohl. - In English, Croll. In English.
English gentlemen to the end.
No, we are not ready for you yet.
Get Mr Brehgert to get this before closing time.
Nothing can be expected from him. But that Hetta is so stubborn ...
Mr. Broune, I anticipate our downfall.
Felix, where are you going '? - Take a breath, Mom.
Mr. Broune, what should I do?
I just have to get through it.
I still have my pen. I'm starting a new book.
How about Great mothers in history?
I can't stand it that you must suffer so.
Let me take over your worries.
That is very friendly, but I cannot let you bear that burden.
He will be so light to me like a feather.
Everything seems to me to fail.
I do not know what I can give you in return.
Yourself.
Mr. Broune, do you really mean ...
If you knew how long I left your beauty and admire your courage ...
you wouldn't have to ask that.
I have no money.
I'm not asking you for your money. I have enough for both of us.
And the children?
I can love your daughter like she's mine.
And as proof of my dedication I'll try that with your son too.
Do you really think you can Felix endure?
I know that for sure, if you give me the chance.
Mr. Broune, you are such a good person.
I'm here to apologize about cheating, Grendall.
What do you say? Sand over it '?
Come on, Grendall. That's fair of him.
Give each other a hand.
Do you want to play, Carbury? - Gladly.
Good cards.
Sir Felix Carbury? - Yes why?
You are going to take a trip. - To the continent.
How do you push. - To Dover and do not stop en route.
Mr. Brehgert left me last night come ...
and told me to give you this back.
He says you have one signature have forgotten.
This one.
W. Croll must also be there.
He was very decided, Mr. Melmotte.
Brehgeft knows that it is a counterfeit?
I think so.
And he doesn't go to the police?
And neither do I.
But I'm not going to the Lane anymore.
Are you not coming to the office anymore?
I don't think so, no.
So you're leaving me?
I still have a bit of money too good. You send that, don't you?
Goodbye, Mr. Melmotte.
Hetta, a lady is waiting for you in the salon.
Forgive me for disturbing you.
I'm going back to America and just wanted to see you.
Are you leaving with Mr Montague?
I travel alone.
I've been thinking since our last conversation.
I have too long with bad cards played.
You can have it, Miss Carbury, if you want him.
And I'd just take him and say that he has nothing to fear from me.
I have my guns and whips stowed away.
I will not avenge myself this time.
I just wish he did the same loved me as long ago.
But when I came to see you ...
Miss Carbury, when I spoke to you ...
I told you that Paul and I had sex in Lowestoft.
Now I want to tell you that that was not true.
I asked him one more night with me to stay, but he refused.
Because of you.
I couldn't bear it then that you would prevail.
Now I can.
I don't want to prevail over you. - Why not?
You have it. Do you not want him sometimes?
It is so confused, complicated and spoiled.
When I fell in love with him, I thought he was perfect.
None of them is that. We don't either.
But for a man he is almost perfect.
Roger Carbury is absolutely fine.
Perhaps. But what do you have and me to a man like him?
No passion, no spunk, no badness.
He might as well be in a museum.
English landlord, circa 1870.
Paul wants you. Take it.
Maybe it won't work out, but it will be an interesting experience.
And I wish you all the luck.
Goodbye, Miss Carbury. I'm glad I knew you.
Pack your jewelry. - Is something going to happen?
Pack them small.
Keep them handy, maybe you have to travel without me.
And Marie too? - No. She'll be fine.
She has her own money.
Are we ruined, Melmotte? - Just about.
We stayed too long.
I thought it was too nice to be an English gentleman.
Maybe I had it twisted railways.
I do not understand. -0 no?
The shares are worth nothing. I have tons of debt ...
but nothing to pay for it.
Why are you staring at me like that? - What are you going to do?
Are you going to jail?
When it comes to that ...
I go to parliament.
And if I fall ...
they will see me fall like a man.
Order.
A statement to the House from the finance minister.
Mr. Melmotte, do you want something to raise?
Order, order.
Does the House want to come to order?
Bluish acid.
Is he your own doctor? Will he ask for money?
No, no way. I...
I do understand it. You break the engagement.
What a life it was.
Now it's over.
I will never see you again?
I don't know why you think that.
Yes. You like me, but you must marry a rich woman.
Let's not play a comedy. It doesn't matter, go now.
It is a pity.
Too many things. Like him at that railroad ...
he might have made it.
Mr. Fisker arrived yesterday. He arranges it with the creditors.
Mademoiselle, your money is safe.
Nobody can touch it, though he had been in debt for millions.
You are still a rich young lady.
Can you take care of her?
If I want to. Thank you, Mr. Croll.
It's like I have to start over with my life.
I didn't love my father, but life will be strange without him.
And you? Are you happy with your lover?
No, I broke up. He had a different wife right away.
The bastard. Does he like that other woman and not yours?
No, I believe he loves me. And I love him.
Then you have to take it. Don't be an idiot.
You do not understand. - I understand this:
we women need our destiny take it into your own hands.
I'll never be like that woman in there, or my poor mother.
I will get everything out of life. You should do that too.
Paul, great to see you. How are hell?
That you have the guts! to you here to show, Fisker.
Stay calm. Everything didn't go so well when we last saw each other.
You can't blame me for that. - Now everything is going worse.
You will definitely come to liquidate the case? - Are you crazy?
Have you seen the American rates? We are going to construct that track.
Come here, sit down.
This is the new building schedule. Look at it.
Go.
After all, you get the lead, if you still want that.
So it always sounds. The first investors lose everything ...
the second wave deserves a power.
Too bad Melmotte is too deep touched. I liked him.
He certainly left his mark, but always went a little too far.
I hope you drop your shares have detained.
Say it, Paul. Do you participate or not?
Why would I believe you? - Because we are partners.
Moreover, it is black on white, page 29.
The construction starts in a week. And the money is in the bank.
So do you participate or not?
You wanted a railroad anyway to moor?
No, Mr Montague, there can be no question of that.
Do you want to say then that I came to say goodbye?
I will leave the country soon, presumably forever.
I spoiled it with your daughter ...
and she must love me just as much leave if u.
I don't deserve her, but I wanted to don't make her unhappy.
It is strange complicated life that we now lead.
Things are not always as clear as we would like.
But one thing is done in a minute as a lump:
i love helta, and will always love her.
Do you want to tell her? And I hope she will be happy.
And that I do every minute of the day will think of her.
Goodbye, Lady Carbury. - Bye, Mr. Montague.
Take me with you.
