A count, for God's sake,
A gun, sir.
A kindness.
A lot don't even speak English.
A lot.
A place they will be taken care of.
A warmth.
A wife. A daughter.
About the withdrawal at Dunkirk.
Absolutely. I can't stand it.
Accepting me into the War Office.
Acting strange.
Ah, well, yes. It's most distressing.
Ah! Excellent.
Ah! I think there is some fire in the eyes
Ah.
All men are savages.
All right, all right.
All right. You wanna see Max?
Allow me.
Always in the last place you look for it.
Always on the lookout for a story.
An example of the Barbizon School.
An incident with the Count.
An oasis from the outside world.
And already he's put in a request for the Royal Engineers.
And asked Germany for an armistice.
And because she is *******...
And each one was top notch.
And for those still to go to bed, you also have my sympathies.
And France isn't exactly sympathetic.
And I don't envy those on the front line.
And I guess I was the sucker.
And I want financial restitution.
And I want you to ignore everything he says.
And I'm not gonna let him do that to you.
And if they have taken her...
And not our suspicion or fear.
And now the good lady adds insult to injury.
And the only people with access to his room
And the Savoy.
And there was so little you could do to help them?
And they just opened up their machine guns
And they'll surprise themselves along the way.'
And we're honoured that you chose our hotel.
And what do you do? You threaten a guest.
And what would you want in return?
And you want me to forgive him?
And you're tossing away good food like the world hasn't changed.
Any day now.
Anyway, there was this kid.
Apparently she enjoys provoking you.
Apparently the Count has already checked out of the Dorchester
Are us, the staff.
Are you angry?
Are you serious, Tom?
Are you sure everything's OK?
Are you sure you want to do this?
As I pass through London,
As long as nobody interferes with my job,
As long as there are no repercussions.
As what? My parent? Or my superior?
As your father...
As your manager, I am not happy at all.
At this rate we'll be running to capacity.
Austrians. ****.
Because he thinks we won't go public with this.
Because my father is against it.
Because you were the one who brought up Dobby Tucker.
Because?
Before he came here,
Beneath our veneer of respectability,
Best forgotten.
Billy, don't.
Billy, sir.
Billy.
Billy...
Billy's all wide eyed and excited.
Both of you.
Both. Are we clear?
Bourbon on the rocks. Make that two.
Break her heart, I'll break your face.
Britain stands alone now. There's no one else.
But as of now,
But I assure you,
But I believe we must be measured by our compassion
But I don't think that means they're finished.
But I feel I'm starting to get to grips with it.
But I just...
But I know this.
But if he says the gun is priceless, we must accept that at face value.
But if he was trying to help his family, then...
But it isn't, is it?
But it's like my mam always says.
But that's a good answer, too.
But the world has not changed.
But there is an American.
But with the situation in France, and Britain being next in line,
But you'll keep trying.
But?
Came home in pieces.
Can, c'est Francais, oui? Une francaise. Bien.
Can't help feeling they've made a terrible mistake,
Check the floors for strays.
Chef needs these ingredients.
Chef, er... maybe let it lie, eh?
Chef!
Chef.
Clever.
Cold clock hands
Come on! Make a wish, come on.
Couldn't you just lie on top of the piano or something?
Crystal, Mr. Garland.
Danny Pacelli.
Decent Sauerkraut in Paris?
Did you make this?
Did you really think you could get away with it?
Dis pas ca, c'est pas possible!
Do you feel he acted inappropriately?
Do you feel he acted inappropriately?
Do you know what this is?
Do you think he was trying to get money to...
Do you want to wait outside, Chef?
Don't know what made me go and change my mind...
Don't know why I was feeling so unkind
Don't think I'm standing here just feeling blue...
Don't think that I can't get another you
Drink to remember.
Dusty and unused.
Each letter has been returned, undelivered, unopened.
Eh?
Emma, the Regent Suite, please.
England is finished, Mr. Garland.
Er... I can't.
Erm... the Count's due to go for his lunch in a bit.
Especially if we keep ending up down here.
Even with all his faults,
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.
Falling sands
Farmersville, Illinois.
For the people of Britain...
For those of you who have been rudely awakened, I apologise.
France has effectively fallen.
Freddie reminded me of him.
From Lady Hamilton herself.
From turning
Funny, innit?
Get me out of here.
Get out from behind my beloved martini glass.
Go on! Just one drink.
Gonna put the gun back then. I just need you to keep watch.
Good.
Hand over my property.
Happy birthday dear Billy
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you...
Have a light.
Have you ever held a gun?
Having breakfast together this morning.
He always needs something.
He does know there's a war on, right?
He has a family in France.
He has sent back the tete de veau twice already.
He joins the Marines straight after high school.
He kissed me.
He played ball, ran track.
He ships off to Nicaragua.
He stole from Lady Hamilton.
He was desperate.
He was just a kid. But that's what they do.
He was upset.
He won't back down from his demands.
He wouldn't let me go, kept...
He's a titled man!
He's only turned 18 today
He's the Count, and I'm...
He's... here, Mr. Garland.
Here we go again.
Here we go.
Hey, be careful, though.
Hm.
Hm. We'll need something. I've gotta have space to perform.
How are you?
How best to distribute their resources.
How is he? Is he in danger?
How would you feel if the people you cared about were in danger,
How's he getting on, anyway?
I am so glad we understand each other.
I am so sorry to be the bearer of... such awful news.
I am so sorry.
I apologise for the interruption.
I apologise, Mr. Parry.
I appreciate that.
I appreciate you boys letting me take a look around.
I believe these are your call up papers, Billy.
I believe they teach you to knock before entering, yes?
I couldn't make a difference
I did not take the gentleman's gun! You were in his room.
I don't give a fig what you believe, Garland.
I don't know what's going to happen to us all, but...
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know. It could be good.
I don't say it to be cruel. You're too soft around the edges.
I don't wanna go up there.
I feel for the guy.
I feel that he disrespected me and he disrespected my hotel.
I find it dreary. Like a wet Sunday.
I fought in the Great War.
I had no idea how upset he'd be.
I had... I had no choice.
I have made it with gribiche and I have made it with ravigote,
I haven't heard from him since he left the base.
I hoped you might do it out of a sense of duty.
I keep saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.
I know guests like the Count can be difficult.
I know you must be feeling like it won't,
I know, I know. I mean, where are they gonna find
I leave this situation in your capable hands.
I made a decision about Mr. Klein.
I needed to see you.
I never seen anyone so confident in my life.
I opened one of Max's letters.
I say...
I see it on the faces of the men and women around me.
I snapped at Chef in front of everyone.
I still feel like I'm wearing someone else's shoes.
I suppose he feels it's his duty.
I suppose the army has to look at
I thought I could do this job.
I thought the evacuation was over. In Dunkirk, yes. But St Nazaire,
I thought you were acting strange. Where is it now?
I understand there was er...
I want him arrested.
I wanted to interview some of the pilots, you know,
I was gonna return it later, when I had the chance.
I was just being nice, but then...
I won't be allowed in the army.
I would hate to see your name dragged into this.
I wouldn't have thought of that.
I'd like to use it for a more modest room for myself.
I'll get in contact with him, then.
I'll try and get some.
I'm a little impressed.
I'm glad we can work together.
I'm gonna lose my job.
I'm hoping it was, because otherwise...
I'm just trying to understand.
I'm meant to be with the engineers, out where the action is.
I'm not discussing this with the bloody receptionist.
I'm not saying what Max did was right.
I'm not thinking about Freddie.
I'm so sorry to hear about your premature departure.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you.
I'm sorry, Miss. Garland.
I'm sure he'll have a long and happy stay with us.
I'm sure it'll turn up.
I'm sure it's just another false alarm.
I've got your gun.
I've... I've never held one before.
I've... I've only got an hour.
If that meets with Robbie's approval?
If there's anything His Excellency needs,
If they came home at all.
If word of this gets out...
In a way that would make him go quietly.
In the Count's room, and if there's nothing to hide...
In this situation, at this time.
Is that why you wanted me to take this job?
Isn't afraid to make enemies.
It doesn't matter.
It has merely... shifted latitude.
It is my family.
It isn't the first time this has happened, is it?
It never left his side.
It shines from within you.
It shouldn't be too long now. Thank you so much.
It was a few years ago.
It was the only way I could get enough money.
It would be of comfort.
It'll all be over by Christmas.
It'll be signed in the next few days,
It's a challenge,
It's always the quiet ones.
It's him or me.
It's Kate.
It's simple, you just, you know...
It's starting all over again.
Je suis desolee. Je suis desolee, de vous avoir fait attendre la.
Journalist.
Just ahead of the pack.
Just need to put the gun somewhere in the Count's room.
Just not seemed yourself the last few days.
Just round the bloody corner at Hyde Park. I'm...
Just the man I was looking for.
Just... forget it.
Kate, sir.
Kate! The chambermaid.
Kate? What...
Ladies and gentlemen, a moment, please.
Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm.
Lady Hamilton, surely you're not waiting for permission
Lady Hamilton.
Lady Hamilton...
Let people know how it feels to be one of you,
Like nothing bad could ever touch him.
Listen, you
Long gone, they left without apology
Look, I'm making a point.
Lord Hamilton chose it.
Love you.
Lovely to have you back, Lord Hamilton.
Luggage, Your Excellency.
Max, you stole from the hotel.
Maybe that being Toby Hamilton is something pretty special.
Maybe you are angry because she wanted a man.
Messing with call ups...
Miss. Garland has shown great support for you.
Miss. Garland, inform the police.
Miss. Garland!
Miss. Garland.
Mm.
More and more royalty are fleeing Europe every day.
More families coming from France every day.
More families coming from France every day.
More than ever, I must find a way to help my family.
Most of the kitchen staff act strange.
Mr. D'Aberville is a terrible person
Mr. D'Aberville.
Mr. Garland, you will be getting your hands dirty,
Mr. Garland.
Mr. Garland. Er... Mrs... Mum.
Mr. Klein is rejoining us.
Mr. Klein was the last member of staff to be seen
Mr. Klein, why are they in your locker?
Mr. Klein.
Mr. Klein.
Mr. Klein.
Mr. O'Hara, I just wanted your professional opinion.
Mr. O'Hara, you do not know my looks.
Mr. O'Hara.
My daughter is seven years old.
My great grandfather went to fight for Napoleon III.
My gun! Stolen from my room by one of your staff!
My mam also says that a smile doesn't cost anything.
Nantes, we've still got a lot of men out there.
Need you to keep watch tonight.
Neither had he.
No hopes for you and me
No one's gonna believe me.
No recollection at all.
No time left in my hourglass
No, thank you.
No.
No.
No.
No. Don't say that. You're not.
No. I don't have to learn anything. I'm not a child.
No. It was our head chef.
No. That shall not stand.
Nobody.
Not a pathetic, mewling baby,
Not by a long shot.
Not even when he came home.
Not for me, at least.
Not good, clean living Americans.
Not in front of the guests.
Not so bad, Mr. O'Hara
Nothing anyone can do.
Nothing can stop these
Nothing ever went missing before.
Now that France has fallen, Britain is next in line.
Now, give me what is mine!
Now, I have no wish to shame her, but...
Now, let me tell you...
Of course, sir.
Of course, you're totally unsuited to the job.
Of course, Your Excellency. I have the manager right here.
Of my little Austrian friend.
Oh, God. My mum's gonna kill me.
Oh, he'll need something.
Oh, I know that look.
Oh, I'm not disagreeing.
Oh, no.
Oh, of course. Foreigners!
Oh, that's wonderful! Wherever did you find it?
Oh, we left the Cote D'Azur two weeks ago,
Oh, wonderful, another lecture!
Oh, wonderful. She's found the Jew.
Oh, yeah? What story's that?
Oh, you know what I mean.
Oh.
Oh. I'll erm...
On his first day, they gave him this weapon.
On me I'a vole, j'en suis sur! On me I'a vole!
On the survivors in the water.
One a week for the past two months.
One moment, please.
One of the guests helped me translate some of it.
One who shivers and shakes with fear.
One, two, a one, two, three, four.
Only a matter of time before they reach Paris.
Only one person I care about.
Or maybe she's just enjoying her freedom.
Or so he tells me.
Oui, je suis desolee.
People are increasingly suspicious about foreigners.
People are increasingly suspicious about foreigners.
Perhaps if you were to bring the next dish to him yourself.
Pick it up!
Pick it up.
Please clear out your locker.
Please contact either me or Miss. Garland.
Please don't let her down.
Please keep your voice down.
Please stop by my office later.
Please, Miss. Garland.
Please, speak your mind.
Please.
Pray it won't stop these
Pray it won't stop these
Proud, even.
Pushing himself against me and then...
Qu'est ce qui se passe, Excellence?
Quelqu'un a vole!
Quickly, please.
Quite popular on the wireless.
Raining down
Realism over romanticism.
Remember to breathe occasionally.
Right.
Robbie.
Saved his life many times.
Say nothing.
See, my great grandfather knew that,
See?
Seems odd that he'd change hotels twice in eight days.
Sent to his wife and daughter, to where they're hiding in France.
She is seen as worse than an animal.
She's doing this to provoke me.
She's not even a person.
Should have seen him when he came back.
Should've gone to the house.
Sit.
So YOU took the gun? Shh! In here.
So, how are you finding your new position?
So, I wanted to start by asking you
So, Mr. Hamilton's a working man now?
So, now would be the wrong time to talk to you about Mr. Klein?
So, you expect me to bend and sc**** in front of that chump?
So, you're the gentleman that Freddie hit, aren't you?
Some might say that's a bit unpatriotic.
Something tells me it pulled on the old heart strings.
Soon your hotel will be little more than rubble and dust.
Sorry. I thought we were supposed to be
Sous chef.
Still doing your reporting from behind a martini glass, Mr. O'Hara?
Stop it.
Switchboard.
Take her away.
Taking the cufflinks.
Thank you, Billy.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your patience.
Thank you.
That kid I told you about from my hometown, Danny Pacelli.
That sounds dangerous. Don't worry about me, Mr. O'Hara.
That they know how to make the best of a bad situation.
That thieving piece of shit is not working in my kitchen.
That woman doesn't enjoy anything.
That won't make a difference. They're outnumbered.
That's a big pounder, spitting out 100 rounds at the front,
That's because you're thinking about him.
That's the last of your...
That's the thing I'm learning about the Brits.
That's what you were doing during the siren.
The big boss agrees with me.
The Count stayed at both the Dorchester and the Savoy.
The cufflinks would have lain in a drawer...
The French have laid down their arms...
The German wolves snapping at our heels.
The government wants you to work for them? Really?
The head chef station is yours.
The incident with our chambermaid...
The war is finally coming home.
Then er... Herr Klein shows up.
Then how did you know 'him' was him?
Then I should warn you in advance,
Then may I have a free hand to deal with him as I see fit?
Then why is it still here?
There are people on rations, starving,
There are things you need to learn about women.
There we are.
There's gotta be some trepidation.
There's no space for fear in the cockpit, Mr. O'Hara.
There's nothing I can do, is there?
There's only so much you can do.
There's plenty of room at the table.
There's something I've been wanting to do for a long time.
These belonged to the late Lord Hamilton.
These things are moving fast
They came out of the sun.
They compare us to vermin.
They don't even use them any more. They've got the Cruiser now
They might be scared, but they won't let fear win the day.
They send him back in a box with a flag d****d over it.
They send out the kids. Like Freddie and his squad.
They were the sewer rats of the last war.
They'll look out for each other
They'll pull together.
They're more than that. They've been trained.
They're rounding up the **** in Europe,
They've assigned me to the Royal Artillery.
Things are different.
This is a very serious situation.
This is my family heirloom.
This is not a negotiation.
This is the safest place to be in the city.
This is the third time the dish has been cooked for you.
This is wrong.
This isn't something that can be just washed away.
This place is meant to be secure.
This way, please.
Though I doubt he ever gave it a second glance.
Three mounted Vicker machine guns at the back.
To allow him to return?
To be threatened like that by the boy?
To bring his family over here? Yeah. I'd bet on it.
To go up against the Germans in the sky with what they've got?
To have someone to blindly back you up, no matter what?
To make changes to your own hotel?
To rats.
To remember what?
Toby does very important work for the government.
Trading it all in to become a civil servant.
Two weeks later...
Using me as leverage with her Ladyship.
Very clean locker, Mrs. Hobbs. Oh, just get to the German's!
Very well.
Wait till he's having lunch tomorrow, right?
Waiting for someone?
War tends to put things into perspective.
Was that it?
We are just two poor refugees, far from our homes.
We can't put a stage in here.
We did our best to provide cover, no matter what anyone says.
We don't... we don't know yet.
We just couldn't stop them.
We look after our own.
We must be seen as united on this.
We see and hear everything.
We shouldn't rely on the air raid sirens.
We still have our army, our ships, our air force.
We thought that was it.
We want them to know that the Halcyon is their safe haven,
We were commiserating over the situation in France.
We...
We'll discuss how we can try to locate your family.
We'll erm...
We're air cover for ships, evacuating our people from France.
We're not turning this into a witch hunt.
Well, actually, I was referring to Mr. Jim Beam,
Well, he is very particular.
Well, I could explain it to him
Well, I've got a rule.
Well, it was a sucker punch.
Well, it's a erm...
Well, let's go see Max.
Well, maybe that's the best place to start.
Well, obviously, as a woman of taste and good manners,
Well, technically, Miss. Garland, it's bourbon.
Well, that's not right. They've...
Well, the Count left a sizeable deposit for his suite.
Well, then, at least let me speak to him!
Well, there's a simple answer to that, then. You can't do that.
Well, there's no gun.
Well, they're flyboys, aren't they?
Well, we look after our own, Mr. G.
Well, yeah, I do know a fella.
Well, you shouldn't do that, but yeah, you can.
Weren't you one of Dobby Tucker's set?
What about Kate?
What does that mean?
What happened?
What he did was wrong, but...
What is it? What's happened?
What is your name?
What is your name?
What they say and what they really want.
What were France's terms of surrender?
What you did, it... it was wrong and...
What?
What? Come on! You said that you'd help me, Kate...
What? This is the kitchen, son!
What? What is it?
What's happening?
What's the point? There's nothing you can do.
Whatever the coming days and weeks may bring...
When are his papers due?
When did you and His Excellency travel from France?
When they do...
Whilst mine remain sparkling and clean.
Why did the letter come here?
Why on earth would I do that?
Will I get time and a half for that?
William?
With his own gun that you stole from him!
Y yeah.
Yeah, 'course I am. Not done nothin'.
Yeah, I know that!
Yeah, I went to the airfield.
Yes, I know who Herr Klein is.
Yes. Of course I do.
Yes. Start next week.
You all right there, Toby?
You are even more radiant than your reputation led me to believe.
You are officially awful!
You came here with your story already written.
You can do that again.
You can feel it in the air.
You can't hide your birthday from the Halcyon, boy!
You could look in mine as well. Look in them all.
You don't remember me, do you?
You find gossip abhorrent.
You grew up so fast.
You know what they say?
You know, I grew up in this place...
You know, some people drink to forget.
You must tell them to release me. That I'm sorry.
You scratched me!
You tried champagne before?
You went behind my back.
You worry too much.
You wouldn't betray the confidentiality of your guests.
You...
You're a foreigner!
You're an assistant manager in a hotel.
You're disappointed.
You're late for work.
You're not exactly a ray of sunshine.
You're not helping.
You're the only hope I have.
You're thinking of getting involved.
You're very kind.
You've got knees. Do it yourself.
You've left me with little choice.
You've... nothing to be sorry about.
Young William.
Your Excellency.
Your Excellency.
Your father...
Your kindness is much appreciated.
Yourself?
Ah. You like her. No. It's not about that.
Another place to clean, then. Yeah.
At least you dress the part. Thank you, Mother.
Billy, look at you! Mum, leave off.
But angry. Exactly.
Did you do this? Billy!
Done. You are very wicked.
First Freddie and now you. Wait. You saw him today?
Give it back, then. Yeah, and say what, though?
Hardly a basis for guilt. Why not look in his locker, then?
He's the kitchen porter... The Austrian who stole from me.
Housekeeping. Come.
I promise, I don't know anything... I ain't a child no more.
I'll have a coffee, please. Yes, sir.
I've hidden it. Bloody hell, Billy!
Is that all I'm meant to be? Of course not.
May I? Oh, of course.
Maybe. You check the temperature out there.
Nobody would ever stay here again. You're right. We wouldn't.
She felt sorry for you. Who?
Thank you. Yes, yes. No need for that.
That might work. No! That was a joke.
The matter is closed. You're forbidding me?
Then all hell broke loose. Does anybody else know?
They don't stand a chance
they'll do their best...' Ready.
This... is confidence in a glass. OK.
We'll go and tell Mr. Garland right... No!
You know I can't. You're only the assistant manager.
You undermined me. I couldn't think of any other way.
You're leaving his service? Mm.
'...to their very last breath.'
'Everything is changing.
'I don't think it'll be easy,
'Not done anything'.
'Those poor young pilots, fearful of the coming conflict.'
