You're not to look at me while I do it.

I did a lot of paper cutting

when I was convalescing.

It was Cora's idea.

She was always full of ideas.

You'd never believe some of them.

(Clock chimes)

(indistinct whispering voices)

(Phone rings)

Hello?

-'Oh, Anne? It's me, John.'

John... Oh, John, you

promised not to bother me.

'But, Anne, I've got to talk to

you. Anne, are you still there?'

I can't discuss things now.

-'Anne?'

Good morning.

-Morning.

Could I borrow your car this morning?

-Yes, of course.

Where are you going? -Post office.

Oh. If you hang on till I get dressed,

I'll take you down there myself.

Don't bother.

It's only going to take me a minute.

Oh.

All right, just as you wish.

Is there anything you want

from the village?

No, thank you.

See you later.

-Goodbye.

Bye.

(Brady) Alone?

Well, I thought I was.

I didn't expect to see anyone.

Seen you here before.

My name's Brady. I work here.

Don't suppose Miss Ramsay told you.

As a matter of fact, she did.

-Did she, now?

Usually she pretends I don't exist.

Nonsense, Mr Brady.

She's told me all about you.

She couldn't have done. She doesn't

know anything about me. Nobody does.

No more than I know about her yet.

Nor you, for that matter.

Well, I imagine it's impossible

to know everything about someone else.

You'd be surprised

what you can work on,

if you keep your eyes

and your ears open, Miss...

Didn't get your name.

-Weston, Anne Weston.

Thanks. I like to know

who I am talking to.

You're very beautiful.

Much more so than the last one.

Last one?

Cora. Don't you know her?

Oh, yes. I've seen

her photograph in the house.

Oh, I see.

You'd never seen her before?

No, never.

I live in the stables

at the back of the house.

Yes, I know.

If you need me anytime,

you know then where to find me.

Helen!

What on earth's the matter?

Helen?

Helen!

Why have you been so long?

I came as soon as I could.

Avoid that man.

I don't like being spied on,

especially by a friend.

I wasn't spying.

I was merely trying to protect you,

which is different.

You must never leave me again.

Promise?

I shall have to sometime.

But I promise, I won't leave

you while you're like this.

Help me.

But how can I,

if you won't tell me anything?

I... I don't know how to.

Brady.

This has got something

to do with Brady, hasn't it?

Help me.

But how can I,

if you won't tell me what's wrong?

L...

I don't understand myself.

I'm ill.

Then let's leave and go back to London.

-No.

That would be worse.

It's much better

being here alone with you.

For how long?

I can't stay here forever, you know.

It won't be long now.

I promise you, everything will be
