Archie (2023) s01e02 Episode Script

1
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Cary Grant.
Hello.
I have lost my child!
Since John, you've not been right.
SHE SCREAMS
I've decided I'd like to go home.
You can't go home. Your husband
is having you committed.
SHE SCREAMS
SHE SCREAMS
When am I gonna see Mother again?
She died, Archie, lad.
Try and think of it
like your ma's in a better place.
I'll confess something to you,
Cary Grant, I made him up.
I made up the perfect man
in order to survive.
I'm Cary Grant. You're a very
difficult one to pin down.
Thought I'd grab a meeting
while I could.
To what end?
Mr Pender,
how would I go about having a trial?
Don't look down, Archie.
The secret is to lift your head up.
And if you do OK, well, there's
even talk of going to New York.
And if you do OK, well, there's
even talk of going to New York.
I want a husband and children.
I want what my parents have.
I can't have children.
I don't mean physically,
I mean I don't want them.
Whatever I have devoted myself to,
I have devoted myself completely.
Ain't nothing worth going home for.
I'm gonna stay here
and I'm gonna be a star.
Good luck, laddie.
Oh, my dear boy!
I'm delighted that you turned up.
I'm delighted that you turned up.
- And this must be Dyan?
- Hi.
Ha! I am your humble servant.
Please, do come in.
The country gent thing is all fake.
I'm really a Cockney from the
East End.
But you'll find that we're all
fakes in this town, my dear,
in one way or another.
Aren't we, Cary?
Oh, absolutely.
Alma! Where's my
You really are a pretty little
thing now, aren't you?
- I'm Alma, Hitch's wife.
- Hi!
I didn't realise how young
you were going to be.
Quite the youngest one of his
I've seen.
Cary is, of course,
eternally youthful himself
but I was worried
you might get bored.
but I was worried
you might get bored.
That's very kind, but no need
to be concerned on my part.
I'm old beyond my years.
How long have you and Cary
been an item?
Oh, no, we're not an item.
Well, that makes sense
because he's still married
to my friend Betsy.
I don't know what Cary's told you,
but we're taking it easy right now.
- Alma
Please tell me there's something
to drink in this house
other than these godawful blue
cocktails.
Sorry, darling. Afraid not.
Sorry, darling. Afraid not.
Dyan was just telling me
how you're not an item.
Oh, I do hope I haven't put my foot
in it?
Did you have to say that?
Well, it's the truth.
And as she's just reminded me,
you're still married.
Well, it's also the truth
that I haven't seen Betsy for over
three years.
They're all going inside.
They're all going inside.
Cary, would you like to say grace?
Yes, I would.
Dear Lord, please punish
our friend Alfred
to the full extent
of your almighty powers
but spare his darling wife,
Alma, who attempted,
as much as she could,
to edit what we see before us,
but he insisted as ever on the final
cut.
but he insisted as ever on the final
cut.
In the name of the Father,
the Son
and the Holy weekend box
office, Amen.
Amen.
Very good.
Very funny.
Hmm.
Can't you even bear to look at me?
Are you going to talk to me or not?
You won't like what I have to say.
You won't like what I have to say.
Try me.
I can't commit to someone
who doesn't share the same goals
in life as me.
You know what I want,
a proper relationship.
And somewhere down the line,
I guess, a family.
Children.
Well, I'm not asking you to commit.
We could be together now
and be happy.
Just right now. For now.
Is there anything so terribly
wrong with that? Honestly?
Is there anything so terribly
wrong with that? Honestly?
Sorry. Would you excuse me, please?
Dyan.
Dyan!
Dyan, please. Please, please!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I just
I love having you in my life
and I I want more.
Don't you feel the same?
Don't you feel
Don't you feel the same?
Don't you feel
This is so not
how I expected you to be.
I know. Cary Grant would
never throw himself at a woman.
That's why everybody
wants to be Cary Grant.
Even I want to be Cary Grant.
But I'm I'm not, I'm
I'm this schlump here.
I'm this guy! Who's nuts about ya!
SHE CHUCKLES
What if I said I was in love
with you?
What if I said I was in love
with you?
I-I I can't do this.
I can't.
Rejection, a constant theme
in my life.
You know, if it wasn't for somebody
saying I don't want you,
there'd been times when it felt
as if nobody would be talking to me
at all.
Okay, kid, you're all done.
You know the way out.
The door to the left.
That's the one.
He walks funny, like he's bandy?
And he's got a thick neck.
# Give my regards to Broadway
# Remember me to Herald Square
# Tell all the gang at 42nd Street
# That I will soon be there
# Whisper of how I'm yearning
# To mingle with the old-time crowd
# Give my regards to old Broadway
# And say that I'll be there
'Ere long. #
# And say that I'll be there
'Ere long. #
I I can juggle too.
And tumble?
Have you ever spoken any lines?
Um
Uh not yet.
I've mostly done Vaudeville,
you know,
tumbling and stuff.
But I'm willing to give it a try.
But I'm willing to give it a try.
What accent you got, kid?
Uh, English. I'm from Bristol.
Okay, thank you. Next.
Tough crowd, kid.
- Okay, what's your name?
- George Burns.
What's the rush, Archie?
Hello, Mrs Selden.
You're three weeks behind
with the rent.
That gets to four
and your ass is out!
A-ha-ha! Here she is!
- Ah
- Grace!
Your Royal Highness,
if you don't mind.
Oh! I'm terribly sorry.
Your Majesty.
- Oh, love!
- Mmm!
- I'm so glad you came.
- Oh!
I wasn't sure you could, I know how
tight your schedule is.
I wasn't sure you could, I know how
tight your schedule is.
Well, I was intrigued. Why could you
be so desperate to see me?
Come on. Cup of tea.
I've always wanted to know,
do you wear your crowns
at night, young lady?
Only on Sundays.
Standard contracts
stipulated that actors
on their day off
couldn't go more than 100 miles
from Sound Stage One
at Universal Studios.
We're ninety-nine
and a half miles away.
Only you would know something
like that.
I doubt if the rest of us even
bother to read our contracts.
I doubt if the rest of us even
bother to read our contracts.
Well, plenty of naughty boys did.
That's why Palm Springs became
Hollywood's Sodom and Gomorrah.
Well, of course, I wouldn't know.
I never got an invite.
I've made a lot of terrible
mistakes in my life.
Well, that's why
we're still friends, isn't it?
Once you get someone into bed,
it's all over.
Shall we walk?
So why the summons?
So why the summons?
- I've met someone.
- Ah!
I I need advice
from a fellow traveller.
I knew it.
When he asked where I was
going today, I said to Rainier,
I'm going to go and give dating tips
to one of the most
desirable men in the world.
Don't tease me, Grace.
I'm in over my head.
- Over your big head?
- Ha- ha!
I'm crazy about this girl.
But she's broken it off.
She says there's no future for us.
She says there's no future for us.
She wants commitment.
I mean, she wants a family.
- Oh, I see.
- Yeah.
So, what do you think? Could I?
Well, could I, could I be
that thing?
I mean, I've been there
before three times.
If I marry her, I'll just
End up making her hate you?
I was going to say drive her away,
but I take your point.
A boy from Bristol
and a fake princess.
What a journey we've been on.
What a journey we've been on.
Where's it all going, I wonder?
I can't do it! Grace,
I I can't be something
I can't be a father.
I'm too set in my ways.
I'm too selfish.
Mmm. And that is exactly
why you should do it,
dearest Archie.
He called my agency
again yesterday asking for me.
He called my agency
again yesterday asking for me.
This is the dreamiest guy
in the world we're talking about
and you won't even answer his calls.
It's over.
Well, you could always
give him my number.
He's a serial dater.
Sophia Loren, Eva Marie Saint,
Marilyn Monroe.
I don't know if I buy it.
What can I possibly have
to offer Cary Grant?
I'm sure my agent just
wants me to date him again
because it'll be good for my career.
He's a junkie too.
He does LSD.
Always listen to yourself, Dyan.
Always listen to yourself, Dyan.
If you don't feel comfortable
getting back together with him,
there must be a reason.
He's into guys.
Really? He doesn't come across as
gay.
Why don't I take your mind off him?
- Take you out tonight.
- No.
TELEPHONE RINGS
Hello?
Dyan.
It's for you.
Hello?
Ah, finally!
I thought I was never going
to hear your voice again.
How did you get this number?
How did you even know
that I would be here?
Well, it's actually quite
a small town.
Most people, unlike you, tell me
exactly what I want to hear.
Look, let me cut to the chase.
Have lunch with me tomorrow
at the studio.
Tomorrow? Um
Sorry, I have to, um
Sorry, I have to, um
run over to the Fox lot
to do some looping.
On what movie?
I can call and get it rescheduled.
- No, I It's
- Please.
Just one time.
One lunch.
I'll never bother you again,
I promise.
Uh, you know what?
I I was wrong. Um
It's not until the day
after tomorrow so so sure.
Wonderful!
Well, that's settled then.
I'll see you tomorrow
at one at the studio.
I'll put your name at the gate.
You'll meet Doris.
You'll meet Doris.
Doris?
Yeah, you'll love her.
She's wonderful.
See you tomorrow.
Shut up, okay? Just shut up.
- Thank you!
- Sorry, sorry! Sorry, sorry!
Ladies, your lunch companions.
'I suppose I wasn't bad-looking back
then.
'For long periods,
it was just about all I had.
'For long periods,
it was just about all I had.
'Looking presentable.
'You see, there were ladies
of a certain age
'who liked young lunch companions.
'And I was happy to oblige.
'At least I got to eat.'
BELL RINGS
Tough crowd!
George, isn't it? George Burns.
George, isn't it? George Burns.
The one and only.
And I didn't get the job either
that day.
- Remind me what your name is?
- Archie Leach.
What are you doing here?
What am I doing?
Having lunch with my lawyer,
if you must know.
He's picking up the cheque,
so it's not all bad.
I guess you're not paying
for lunch either?
Oh They're
Oh, I'm sure it makes their day
to have a good-looking kid
sitting right next to them.
So, uh, you're an actor, right?
Sure, if someone gave me a chance.
Sure, if someone gave me a chance.
You've got to do something
about that accent.
You sound like a cross between
Dutch Schulz and Long John Silver.
So, I got this friend, Fay Wray.
- I've heard of her.
- Yeah.
Well, her and her old man
have written this play and, uh,
nothing in it for a Jewish
comedian from New York,
but I happen to know that they're
looking for a good-looking fella
to play opposite Fay.
Well, I remember seeing you from
the theatre that day and, uh,
Well, I remember seeing you from
the theatre that day and, uh,
I don't like
to see someone struggling.
Do you believe in serendipity,
Archie?
I'm not sure what it is.
Mmm. Look it up, kid.
I should be happy if I had
none to fear but my enemies,
and no other hindrance to my
salvation but their calum
Call-um-na. Call-um-nee.
Calumny.
If you cannot neither hind
If you cannot neither hind
neither hindrance to my salvation
I should be happy if I had
none to fear but my enemies.
And no other hindrance
to my salvation but their
Calumny! But their calum
But their calumny.
To my salvation but their calumny!
But, Heloise, you make me tremble,
your letters declare to me that
you are enslaved to human love,
and yet, if you cannot
conquer it, you cannot be saved.
and yet, if you cannot
conquer it, you cannot be saved.
If you cannot conquer it!
You cannot be saved.
Letters declare to me that
you are enslaved to human love.
And if you cannot conquer it,
you cannot be saved.
Heloise, if you cannot conquer it,
you cannot be saved.
I'm Cary Lockwood.
I'm Cary.
Go get 'em!
Okay, so Cary stands in front
of one of the gravestones
and Nikki comes to his side.
I should be happy if I had
none to fear but my enemies,
and no other hindrance to my
salvation but their calumny.
But
Heloise
Heloise
you make me tremble.
Your letters declare to me that
you are enslaved to human love,
and yet
if you cannot conquer it,
you cannot be saved.
Okay, let's cut it there.
Thank you, Archie.
We'll be in touch.
Thank you. Thank you very much
for seeing me, Mr Saunders.
Miss Wray.
Well, George Burns wasn't wrong
about how good-looking he is.
I liked him.
I think we could have our
Cary Lockwood?
What the hell was that accent?
Australian?
Dyan, come and say hi to Doris!
Hi, Dyan.
- Hi.
- Nice to meet you.
Gosh, you're very pretty!
Oh, uh, thank you.
Doris, thank you.
I'm such a fan of all of your work.
That's so kind of you to say.
And of Cary's, I assume?
No, she's not seen anything
I've ever been in.
THEY LAUGH
Oh You're not going
to have any more?
- No.
- Right, well
waste not want not.
So, who else's food have you stolen?
Well, what does that mean?
Tell me about the other
women in your life.
Tell me about the other
women in your life.
You're nobody's pushover, are you?
- I hope not.
- Okay.
Like who?
- Marilyn Monroe.
- What about her?
- Well, you knew her, didn't you?
- Mm-hm.
God rest her soul.
What was she like?
Uh, what was Marilyn like?
She was very
very sweet.
And open, dangerously so.
Constantly putting herself
in the hands of the wrong people.
Constantly putting herself
in the hands of the wrong people.
People who fed her cheap compliments
and alcohol and drugs.
She had so much love to give
and then none for herself.
Cary, do you do drugs?
What?!
I hear all this stuff about you
and LSD.
I I thought that was for junkies?
It's all perfectly legal.
I do it under the supervision
of my psychiatrist,
Dr Morty Hartman.
It's part of my therapy.
It's part of my therapy.
And why do you need therapy?
Oh, there's a lot about me
you don't know, Dyan.
Are you gay?
Goodness, where did that come from?
I mean, I don't think that you are,
but there are all these rumours.
And I mean, I don't care.
You seem to be a flirt.
Maybe you flirt with both sexes?
I have loved a lot of people.
I married some of them.
And every one's broken my heart.
You're not going to break
my heart, are you?
Probably.
SHE LAUGHS
Ah! I walked into that one.
Break a leg, Archie.
Come on, Archie.
Fay Wray's new play, Nikki,
opened at the Longacre Theatre
in New York City last night.
Written by her husband,
John Monk Saunders,
Written by her husband,
John Monk Saunders,
a musical tale of daring do
and aviation,
the crowds received
with rapturous applause.
Rapturous applause.
Debuting as Cary Lockwood was a fine
young actor called Archie Leach.
And it's this reviewer's
opinion that this man
has a bright future.
Mr Fox, I'll level with you.
I want to make sure
I'm never hard up again.
George Burns recommended me?
The comedian.
George Burns recommended me?
The comedian.
Yeah, he said you could guide me.
He really is a comedian.
I work in real estate.
He calls me his agent but all I did
is help him buy an apartment.
Well, actually, that's fine with me.
I don't think some show
business-type would suit me anyway.
So, you're making a 175 a week
from this play?
- That's right.
- How many weeks it been running?
- Three weeks.
- Are you any good?
I think so, yes.
I think so, yes.
Well then, we want a hike.
We tell them for the rest
of the run we want 300.
And if they tour it
I don't know if they have plans
to.
Okay, well, we'll need a deal
in principle if they do.
- Are you married?
- No.
- Do you own an apartment?
- I live in digs.
Okay. Outgoings?
Maybe $20 a week.
I was thinking of hiring a car.
I met this actress and she's got to
go to California
to do a test for a speaking part.
- You want to impress her?
- Well
I thought I'd drive her out
there when the play finishes,
I thought I'd drive her out
there when the play finishes,
spend a couple of weeks with her.
She's already made some films
with Chaplin and others,
but she wants to move into talkies.
To be honest, I don't know
what she sees in me.
Do you want my opinion?
You don't hire a car,
you take her on the train, okay?
I mean, you've seen how much
they're charging for gas these days?
Twenty-two cents a gallon
I paid the last time I filled up.
I felt dizzy.
It was hard to tell
what they thought.
I stumbled on a few damn words,
but I thought I did okay.
You'll be fine.
You've already done pictures,
everybody wants to see you
do some more.
- But will they want to hear me?
- Hey, Ginny!
Hello, Randy, what a surprise!
Hello, Randy, what a surprise!
This is Archie.
- Archie Leach.
- Randy Scott.
Are you an actor too? Cos I could
do without the competition.
Uh, strictly a stage actor.
Shame, you have a great look.
I could have a word with the
casting department if you like?
- Oh, no, I
- Get you a screen test?
Whatever I have tried to do in life,
I have tried with all
my heart to do it well.
Whatever I have devoted myself to
Whatever I have devoted myself to
..I have devoted myself completely.
In great aims and in small.
I have always thoroughly been in
earnest.
I don't know why, but this time
when they said "action",
I just felt at home,
like I knew what to do,
how to move, what expression
was right, when to smile.
how to move, what expression
was right, when to smile.
I'm pleased for you, really I am.
I'm sorry, darling.
The ups and downs of this
business can be quite the ride.
Did they say when they'd get back
to you?
Just "in due course".
Goddammit, I've already
made movies with Chaplin!
It's like I'm having to start
over again.
- How long is your contract for?
- Five years they've offered me,
at 450 a week and that's
before Stanley talks to them!
Five years!
Five years!
Don't you see, we've got it made.
I'm gonna be a star!
Okay, so, we need a little
of your family history.
So we can put out
a press release about you?
Um
Archibald Alexander Leach,
date of birth January 18th, 1904.
Okay. Mother, father, sisters,
brothers?
Okay. Mother, father, sisters,
brothers?
- No.
- No what?
My mother's dead
and I don't see my father.
I'm sorry.
I don't want you to put
anything about my family.
Well, where were you born?
I'd rather you just left that out.
But I have to put something.
Can you make it up?
Well, where shall I say you
were born?
Wisconsin.
Wisconsin? Why Wisconsin?
I I knew somebody
from there once.
So, do you just want me to make it
all up?
I don't care what you put. Whatever
it is,
I don't care what you put. Whatever
it is,
it'll be better than the
truth.
Okay. Well, there's one more thing.
They want you to change your name.
- Archie Leach doesn't cut it.
- But that's my name.
The conditions specify
a new professional name.
They say it sounds kinda clumsy.
Okay.
Anything come to mind?
Well, I I played a part
recently, and I like that name.
It was Cary. Cary Lockwood.
Cary Lockwood, okay.
Uh no.
There's another actor
called Lockwood.
Um, I like Cary though!
Here
It's a list of names
from the Los Angeles phone book.
Try one of those.
It's impossible. How can I choose?
Just put your finger on one.
Stumpfnagel.
Try again.
Grant.
Cary Grant?
Cary Grant.
Okay. That'll do.
Boy, what a great day
to have good eyesight.
Boy, what a great day
to have good eyesight.
What a great What a great
day to have good eyesight.
'Now what was it
that George Burns called it?
'Ah, yes, serendipity.'
Who was that?
- Contract guy.
- Who?
I can't remember his name.
Making Madame Butterfly, I think.
I don't care if he's making
Little Nell.
If he can talk, I'll take him.
You'll take him? For what?
For the lead, of course.
Are you insane?
You finally have a studio
ready to make a Mae West picture,
and you want for your co-lead
somebody practically
off the street. Why him?
I'll give you three good reasons,
"S", "E" and "X".
I don't even know his name.
Well, go find what it is
and get him for me.
Enjoying it, big boy?
You're gonna make a lot of dough
from now on, thanks to old Mae.
I'm very grateful.
You're friends with Randy Scott?
Yes, we're we're thinking
of renting a house together.
Let me know if you need somebody
to come over and do your laundry.
Okay, quiet on set!
Here we go, Mae. Roll sound. And
action!
You know, I always
did like a man in a uniform,
and that one fits you grand.
Why don't you come up
some time and see me?
I'm home every evening.
- Yeah, but I'm busy every evening.
- Busy?
'Yes, it really was me
she said that line to.
'And, no, I didn't take her up
on it.
'I already had more than enough
going on in that department.
'Well, I'd achieved the wildest
of my wildest dreams!'
'Well, I'd achieved the wildest
of my wildest dreams!'
Everything I'd ever
hoped for had come true.
And that's not something
most people get to say.
I got offered lead parts.
My name was up in lights.
They started calling me a star.
And paying me like one.
I moved into a beach house
with Randy Scott.
We sent the rumour mill
into overdrive.
All kinds of things were said
All kinds of things were said
about two bachelors
sharing together.
And we loved it. Studios, though,
they tried to force me to move out.
No, I resisted.
It's cheaper, I said.
We split the rent.
LAUGHTER
I wasn't under contract.
I chose the directors,
I chose the producers,
I chose the writers, my co-stars.
I had total control.
It was terrifying. Why?
Well, because, deep down, I knew
that it wasn't going
to make me happy.
that it wasn't going
to make me happy.
Not real happiness.
In the end, being one of
the biggest stars in the world
and having hundreds and millions
of people think they know me,
that didn't do it.
How could it?
I didn't know me.
That's the truth of it.
TELEPHONE RINGS
Somebody get that, please!
RINGING CONTINUES
Hello?
Who?
KNOCK AT DOOR
Come in.
What's up? The premiere, it couldn't
have gone any better.
- Everybody loves you.
- Not everybody, Stanley.
Barbara and I had another huge
fight. I slept here again.
- You want a drink?
- Sure.
- You want a drink?
- Sure.
- Something strong.
- Scotch.
It's going to be divorce
number two, I'm afraid.
Where do I start?
You marry this beautiful woman,
who happens to be the most
wealthy woman in the world.
Now, why wouldn't you want to stay
married to a person like that?
I do, Stanley. She doesn't.
It's It's an irretrievable
situation.
It's It's an irretrievable
situation.
Now why would you say
a thing like that?
Because it's true.
I just had a call.
- What, from Barbara?
- No, no.
The voice at the end of the phone
asked to speak to Archie Leach.
It took me a moment before
I realised it was referring to me.
Who was it?
My father.
I haven't heard from him
for nearly 30 years.
I haven't heard from him
for nearly 30 years.
- What did he want?
- He didn't say.
Just that he had something to tell
me
and could I please go for a
visit.
We've just done
a two-picture deal with RKO.
You don't have time to go to
England.
Oh, there's always time.
You can sort it out.
'So, I came back to
where it all started.
'So, I came back to
where it all started.
'Cary Grant found himself
in the land of Archie Leach.'
I see you,
but I don't believe it's you.
Little Archie all grown up.
Hello, Dad.
Oh, this is, uh
This is your, uh
Oh, this is, uh
This is your, uh
This is Eric.
My brother. Half-brother.
- How do you do?
- Alright.
Eric, get Archie a drink, will you?
What'll you have? A pint of bitter?
Why not?
So
how have you been these last few
decades?
Yeah, can't complain.
Enough money to keep us
in baccy and bevvies,
and you can't ask
for more than that, can you?
and you can't ask
for more than that, can you?
Right.
What's your accent, boy?
I've been in America
quite a long time.
You may not have noticed.
It tends to rub off.
Well, you've done mighty well.
Don't think I'm not proud of you.
I'm just sorry you didn't
carry on with the family name.
Well, they asked me to change it
and
I wasn't really in a position
to refuse.
As long as you're not ashamed of us.
As long as you're not ashamed of us.
Well
..I'm here.
What is it you wanted to say that
you couldn't say on the telephone?
Ah
Thank you Eric.
No! No, no, no.
It's not every day you get to buy
a famous film star a pint of wallop.
It's not every day you get to buy
a famous film star a pint of wallop.
Well, here's mud in your eye.
Cheers.
Wow.
- It's pretty good.
- Eric.
Could you leave us for a few
moments, boy?
Only there's things
I need to discuss with Archie.
Course, yes.
Don't think I know why
he came down here.
I think he wanted to meet you.
- Ah.
- I can't get over it.
- Ah.
- I can't get over it.
You leaving here as a boy
and coming back as a man.
A good-looking man at that and all.
Well?
Well
..my health's not been too good,
but my conscience is clear.
I know none of us know when,
you know, how long we got,
but when it comes, I shall go
with my head held high.
Your conscience is clear about what?
I did it for you.
I did it for you.
I didn't want her
interfering, Archie.
I thought she'd hold you back.
What are you talking about?
Well
..not to put too fine a point on it,
it's your mother I'm talking about.
What about her?
No nice way to say it but
..she's still alive.
What What do you mean?
I did it for you, boy.
You You know how she was
when we lost John.
My mother is alive?
And while-while we're
while we're talking in this pub,
Mum is alive somewhere?
Yes, that's so.
Where? Where is she?
She's in
Fishponds Asylum.
I had to put her there.
I had to put her there.
You told me she was dead.
You told a little boy
that his mother was dead.
I judged it was the best thing
to tell you at the time
in the state she was in.
She became a very difficult
person to live with.
She gave me all sorts of problems!
You were meant to look after her.
You were meant to protect her.
She's your wife.
You were meant to protect her.
She's your wife.
- She's your fucking wife!
- Aah! Aah!
- I did it for you, boy!
- You're fucking evil!
- I did it for you!
- You told me she was dead!
I did it for you, boy!
Don't be too hard on me, boy.
I've only just got you back.
No, you don't get me back.
You don't have a son.
Welcome to our hospital, Mr Grant.
- Thank you.
- Please
- Hello.
- Hello.
She's never really caused us
any problems.
She's never really caused us
any problems.
I asked around for years whether
she had any other family
other than her husband,
given his inflexibility,
but I never got to the bottom of it.
If only we'd known who her son was.
I've seen lots of your films and
Hello, Mother.
I mean, I know I've grown a little.
Don't you recognise me at all?
It's your son, Mrs Leach.
Remember he was coming to see you
today?
My My son?
No, this isn't my son.
No, where's Archie?
Where's my little Archie?
