"My family from the north of England originally, but my eldest brother was working in London, so I came to stay with him." "I've had to fend for myself for as long as I can remember."

"He slammed me into the wall." "Then he..." "He pinned me to the floor." "He pushed my skirt right up." "Told his friend to keep watch." "That's when Mr Selfridge came." "If he hadn't come..." "Can you describe this ringleader?" "Tall, young, ex-military." "I've seen him before." " Where?" " Outside the store." "Selling cigarettes." "And another thing." "He'd been drinking." "His friend had, too." "Drink." "If I had my way I'd ban the stuff entirely." "That's a bit extreme, isn't it?" "All due respect, sir, I've seen the damage it causes." "They must have got their drink from somewhere local." "Illegally, no doubt." "We'll find out." "Henri!" "I came to say I'm sorry about the window." "Oh, it doesn't matter." "It does."

" I can't." " You have to." "You must tell her." "Let her know what is going on." "And tell her what?" "That she's married to a coward?" "My men died all around me, one by one." "I watched them." "And I..." "What?" "You what?" "I lived." "Do you think the Inspector will find them?" "Of course." "Seemed an efficient fellow to me." "There you are." "I'm glad you were there when he was asking me those questions." "I couldn't have done it without you." "Kitty, are you sure it was those men who've been selling cigarettes outside Selfridge's?" "Positive." "Why?" "What is it?" "You might want to be a bit careful." "The press are getting worked up about our ex-servicemen." "Some people think they've been given a rough deal." "You're not saying I should let this drop..." "No." "It could become very unpleasant." "They hurt me!" "They're going to pay for it." "(CLAMOURING INDISCERNIBLY)" "OFFICER:" "Come on."

"CONNIE:" "There was a group of men, and they attacked Kitty." "And her face is really bad." "What's going on?" "The problem is, so many of these men are unstable." "One doesn't know what they're going to do next." "They're out of control." "And on our doorstep as well..." "It was bad enough when Mr Leclair smashed up the window." "Back to your posts, please." "The store opens in five minutes." "What does Pa mean, I can't go out alone?" "It's natural that your father wants to protect you." "He wants to keep me locked up so I never meet anyone." "I might as well go and live in a nunnery!" "I'm not sure they'd have you, my dear." "You're always here." "Haven't you got anywhere else to go?" "Rosalie, darling, where's my scamp of a son?" " In his study." " I'll go and have a little chat." "When are you going back to your own flat, Princess?" "The repairs seem to be taking quite a while." "Builders, they say this week, then the next..." "In the meantime, Harry's footing your hotel bill." "Isn't he an absolute darling?" "Two bad pennies do not a fistful make." "Just because these particular men were vicious..." "I agree with Mr Crabb completely, and I want you to remember that our servicemen have had terrible experiences." "There is concern for security inside the store." "That's ridiculous." "There was a recent incident of aggression in one of the departments." "The young man who accosted Mrs Grove." "(CLEARS THROAT)" "What?" "What happened?" "A young man approached her." "Pulled her arm." "Did she not tell you?" "No." "The newspapers say there are thieves operating in the area." "I want all of our staff to feel safe." "What we need are young men, giving the appearance of customers." "Patrolling..." "That's an excellent good idea." "A security team." "Thank you, Miss Mardle." "Can you look into it, Mr Grove?" "Thank you all very much." "Mrs Leclair, can I speak to you for a second?" "Have a seat please." "Henri came to see me this morning." "I've been so worried about him." "He hasn't been home for three days." "Why's he avoiding me?" "I think..." "Because he lost control in the window." "He feels ashamed." "But more than that, he survived, and his men died, and he feels responsible." "That makes no sense." "But it does to him." "Have you brought it up with him?" "I've tried." "He won't talk to me." "Make him." "I don't..." "I don't know if I can." "He's so different from the man he was." "No." "Underneath it all, he's still the same Henri." "He needs you now more than ever." "Don't give up on him." "A young lady was attacked yesterday evening." "Just down the street from here." "I heard." "She said the men who attacked her were drunk." "I've also got a witness says he saw some men leaving this club around 6:00," " drunk as lords." " Well, your witness got it wrong." "It's not worth my licence or my time to open before 6:00." "If you're lying to me, I'll have this place closed down so fast you won't know what's hit you." "Come on, Purkiss." "Good to meet you, Mr Colleano." "So that's Purkiss' boss." "Doesn't have much to say when he's around, does he?" "Victor..." "What's the matter?" "Frank Edwards was here yesterday afternoon drinking with two ex-servicemen, your chums, Charlie and Silas." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "What's the matter with Rosalie?" "We had an argument." "An argument?" "Serge, you have to be more thoughtful." "Until your plane gets made, we're living on Selfridge generosity." "My plane is never going to get made." "Loxley was just using me to get at Harry." "What a despicable man." "I was preparing these for him." "Not much point now." "No, Serge." "Stop." "Stop, stop!" "Darling, cheer up." "We'll think of something." "We will find you another investor." "It's not just the investment." "I need eighty pounds." "Bad luck with the cards last night." "I don't have it." "In fact, I was going to ask you... (CHUCKLES) Don't tell me you're down to your last shilling again." " Borrow it off Rosalie." "She won't mind." " I won't beg from my wife." "God, Mother, do you have no pride?" "I can't afford it." "And neither can you." "We're parasites." "Living off dreams." "We are no such thing." "The blood of Count Rurikid runs in our veins." "I'll get you your money." "Hello, Henri." "What are you doing here?" "You should be at work." "We have to talk." "It's too late." "When we argued in the window, I could have done anything." "Even hurt you." "You must not be with me." "We made a vow." ""In sickness and in health..."" "So you're here out of duty..." "I'm here because I know what happened at Verdun." " I don't want to discuss it." " Well, I do." "Why do you think it was your fault?" "They were my men." "I should have done something." " What could you have done?" " Found them water." "There was no water." "You couldn't have done anything." "I'm haunted by them, Agnes." "I see them everywhere." "They feel more real to me than you." "No one can help me." "Please, my love." "Let me try." "You are to mingle on the shop floor, surreptitiously." "You are not to reveal to anyone that you are store security, staff or customers." "Remember, this is an experiment." "Let's see if you can make it to the end of the day without being discovered." "To your stations, gentlemen." "The very best of luck to you." "A shilling that by lunchtime the whole operation is bust." "You're on!" "(LAUGHS)" "Look who's come to visit." " Victor." " Hello, Kitty." "I'm afraid this isn't just a social visit." "I need to talk to you about the servicemen you brought in to the club yesterday." "What servicemen?" "No?" "Try this one." "I have another, Mrs Crabb." "I'm so sorry." "I have changed my mind." "Oh..." "All right." "Thank you." "How are you?" "I know everyone's a bit shaken up." "I'm almost scared to walk home tonight." "Then don't." "We've been saying we'll go out for ages, so let's." "(LAUGHS)" " Very well." " I'll see you this evening." "Yes." "I bought them drinks because I thought it would loosen their tongues." "I had no idea they might be dangerous." "Why didn't you tell me?" "We can't be sure it was Charlie and Silas." "What did they look like?" "One was tall and fair." "He was the leader." "The other was smaller." "Strange face, not quite right." "Right..." "Sounds like them." "Charlie Copperstone was always a mean bugger." "Silas, he's all right." "Not all there in the head, though." " Do you know where to find them?" " They did say they were sleeping rough." "In some old cellar down by the river." "You need to go to the Inspector." "What if we do this anonymously?" "Ring through with the information." " They might not take it seriously." " Do you know how much trouble we're in?" "Your club will get closed down." "I treated these men to drinks out of hours." "I could go to prison." "Kitty, I..." "Wait..." "Don't..." "You'd save your own skin before mine!" "How could you?" "Kitty, wait!" "He had an argument with Lord Loxley, who's pulled out of investing in the plane." "Why didn't Serge say?" "I know Serge seems confident, but underneath..." "He's led a strange life." "He hasn't known where he belongs." "During your engagement, though, I've never seen him so happy." "But since we've been married?" "It's been difficult for him, living under Harry's roof." "And now with this Loxley thing." "So the silly boy gambles and loses rather a lot of money." " What?" " Which he hasn't got to hand at the moment." "He doesn't know what to do, or who to turn to." " It is so beautiful." " We'll take both dresses." "Very good." "Excuse me, is there anything you'd actually like to purchase?" "I shall get my assistant to measure your daughter." "Excuse me." "CONNIE:" "Only you have been looking for ages now." "So if not, you might want to move on to another department." "Is there anything the matter?" "That pervert's been hanging around the nightwear." "I saw him off." "Would you go and measure the young lady, please, Miss Hawkins?" "And try not to see her off, won't you?" "Thank you." "Doris, how lovely to see you." "Why did you tell Roger about what happened with that young man?" "You shouldn't have said anything!" " I didn't mean to cause any trouble." " Well, you have." "Keep your nose out of my marriage." "We talked." "Really talked." "That is good." "He's at home." "Um, the doctor gave him some medicine so that he can sleep." "But I don't think he should come back to work, Mr Selfridge." "And I'm handing in my notice, too." "Really?" "That's very sudden." "I never thought I could give all of this up, but he's more important to me than anything." "That's why I've decided we have to leave." "Not just the store." "London." "It's too busy." "He needs to be somewhere quiet." "I have known you a long time." " Ever since I sold you those gloves." " (CHUCKLES)" "You were a shop girl then." "Look at you now." " It's down to you." " No." "You changed my life, gave me opportunities." "You reached out and took them." "Ooh!" " Arthur!" " Mildred?" "Are you all right?" "That man has not stopped looking at me and following me in the most sinister fashion." "My dear, let me explain." "We have some new covert security..." "No." "No." "No." "No." "These gloves aren't right." "What did I tell you?" "A place for everything, and everything in its place." "To work in Accessories is to work in the most exacting department in the whole store." "Mrs Leclair." "Can I help you with something?" "I just remember when Miss Mardle gave me that speech." "I started on Accessories when I wasn't much older than your assistant." "And now look where you are." "You're an example to us all." "I don't know about that, but I've had a wonderful time of it." "Keep up the good work, Miss Calthorpe." " We had a bet, Mr Crabb..." " Which I won." "Oh, come now." "The new security team did rather well." " Mrs Crabb wouldn't agree." " She was lingering in a suspicious fashion." "She was merely taking her time." "One of my assistants was also made aware of them." "The problem is men in women's departments." "I wonder, should we add women to the team?" "The loading bay workers were strong." "They could deal with an incident." " They'd also fit in." " That's a very good idea, Mr Crabb." "I think the Chief would like it, too." "I will run it by him tomorrow." "Did Mrs Grove enjoy choosing dresses for her birthday?" "Very much." "Thank you for your help." "And the incident with the young man?" "Oh, that was nothing." "Apparently, he mistook her for someone else." "Disused cellars down by the river?" "Ring any bells with you, Purkiss?" "There's some by Chelsea Wharf, sir." "We'll go down there tonight." "I'll need Mrs Edwards to come." "She'll have to identify her attackers." "You could have told us this earlier." "I didn't put two and two together." "Really?" "I'm not very proud of myself, about any of this." "So could we get on with it?" "I presume you're going to charge me?" "The important thing is to track these men down." "Then I'll decide what to do with you." "Morning." "Can you see that Lord Marchant gets this?" "It's from Mr Serge De Bolottoff." "Yes, ma'am." "(CLICKS TONGUE)" "I knew he had a bad night." "But to get his wife to pay his debts for him?" "Bad show." "That's what wives do, Lord Loxley, if they love their husbands." "Your new husband told me some interesting things about your family." "I wonder, did he did that out of love for you?" "Leave my husband and my family alone." "I have a list of architects here." "And there are a couple I'd particularly recommend." "Harry?" "Harry?" "I'm sorry." "You were saying?" "You're preoccupied." "This obviously isn't a good time." "My deputy and Head of Design are leaving." "I just heard." "They must be replaceable." "There are so many talented people in London." "No." "He's my best friend and she's, um..." "She's like a daughter to me." "Poor Harry." "Losing them both at once." "(SIGHS)" "It's so good to have you to talk to." "Since my wife died, I've had no one." "Please stop." "Just, please stop." "I know you don't want to be alone." "I like you, Harry, but you can't just look to the closest person to fill the void." "No, no." "It's not like that." "No." "You've got it all wrong." "I don't think I have." "Please, let's forget this conversation ever happened." " Nancy, please." " It's all right." "AGNES:" "Do you have happy memories of your childhood?" "Yes, I do." "When you're a child, you can't imagine anything will ever go wrong." "The house where you grew up, what's it like?" "Big." "Grey stone." "White shutters." "It's by the sea." "The horizon goes on forever." "Huge skies, empty beaches." "You can walk all day and see nobody." "Let's go there." "Go?" "We can't just leave London." "I've handed in my notice." "No." "No, Agnes, I won't have you sacrificing yourself for me." "It's out of the question." "Everything you've built..." "Is nothing without you." "And when we're not together we're not whole." "I want to make you better." "There's nothing more important than that." " Are you sure?" " I'm sure." "Then yes, I'd love to go home." "And show it all to you." "So it's decided." "What if I don't get better?" "You will." "It might take a long time." "Well, we've got all the time in the world." " POLICEMAN:" "Look at me." " Who is that?" "Is that him?" "(VETERANS CLAMOURING INDISCERNIBLY)" "You, wake." "Look at me." "(CLAMOURING CONTINUES)" "POLICEMAN:" "Wake." " That's him." "That's one of them." " Up you get." "Stop him!"

"Need to be alone tonight." "I'm sorry, Kitty..." "I should have told you before, but I panicked." " Please..." " (SHUDDERS) Not tonight." "(UPBEAT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)" "(LAUGHING)" " What are you doing here?" " I could say the same to you." "Does Pa know you're out on your own?" "Yes, as it happens." "He didn't like it, but there was nothing he could do." "Have we met?" " This is Grace Calthorpe." " Accessories." "Of course." "Stay with us." "We've got a table." "I don't need a chaperone." "Have fun, little brother." "I had no idea that your sister was going to be here." "Mr Purkiss." "What can I do for you?" "You shouldn't have come down to the station." "You brought attention to yourself." " Johnson will have his eye on you now." " Good luck to him." "I'm going to play it by the book." "No more drinking after hours, no more bungs to you." "You wouldn't last a month." "We've got regulars." "They come here for the music, not the drink." " I'll make it work." " Not if I've got anything to do with it." "You've had your blood money." "Call it quits." "You don't get it, do you?" "It's me that chooses when to walk away." "You haven't heard the last of this." "(WHISTLE BLOWS)" "Have a safe journey."

"You should have more faith in yourself." "What are you talking about?" "Is this the way you treat every man that makes a pass at you?" "Because if so, no wonder you're single." " Excuse me?" " I don't want any woman by my side." "I want you." "You're clever and funny and brave." "You're also a little cross and defensive, but even when you're angry, I like you." "And I love it when you frown, because those little lines right there, well, they're sweet." "And I love it when you smile." "Those little dimples, they just have to be kissed."
