We're in riding country. Maybe you should get a horse.
Because that will make everything better.
Remind me this was a good decision.
Buying an English stately home, sight unseen, dragging our kids
to the other side of the world under heavy protest...
Yeah. That was the right decision.
Eyes up. This is the village.
All righty? Let's 9°-
Whoa, whoa, whoa! No signal! Dad! The signal's down!
I was in the middle of a conversation there.
There isn't even a 3G backup. What is this place?
Actually, we're in a signal black spot.
There's no cell or Wi-Fi connection anywhere within the estate boundary.
Oh, funny. He's not joking, sweetie.
Think of it as a technological Bermuda Triangle. Mom! Mom!
RASPY BREATHING
Oh, look at this place.
All rig hty. Let's run.
Mom, tell him. I'm fully supportive of your father's decision.
This family needs time out. Ancl no YouTube tutorials.
It was only a micro rocket. And it was an accident.
You burned down the school gymnasium, Theodore.
I knew this would all be our fault. No.
But now that you mention it, Franklin, setting fire
to the only school in the state you hadn't been expelled from
may have been a contributing factor.
As for Virginia, if her life is now meaningless
it might as well be meaningless here as anywhere. Hiram.
May as well start by telling it as it is, Lucy.
Oh, I hope you brought a map.
Hello!
SHRIEKING
Where are you going? To my room.
Honey, there are 150 rooms in the house. Then I guess I'll find one.
Well, could we at least get a grid reference?
It's been a long day and everyone is jet-lagged.
We'll have a family council tomorrow. Like the family council
you had without us before deciding to come here?
Seriously, could this get any worse?
Do you think we need to get pest control in? Mm-hm.
Let's get the bags.
Ah. There you are.
So.
Cesspit.
Hmm. The gargoyle missed its cue.
The rain was a nice touch.
Merely a prelude by way of welcome.
From henceforth we will no longer play to an empty house.
You-you-you-you-you terrify the mice.
Pea-brained vermin.
Unworthy of mine effort.
And as for spiders, let me not start.
A species singularly devoid of an attention span.
So, what of the incomers?
Their speech is strangled.
I think they're from the Americas. Colonials?
Ha! Hardly a history to a ghost of any stature.
We shall tailor mine performance to the audience,
study them, discover their darkest fears
that haunt their dreams so that I shall become their living nightmare.
HE LAUGHS
LAUGHTER ECHOES DOWN PIPES
Lucy, remind me in the morning to get the plumbing checked.
See this, Lucy?
So Simeon Otis was born just on the other side of that wood.
It's barely changed in centuries.
Even the gypsy wagons are still there.
His parents, brothers and sisters
are all probably buried somewhere near here.
Sweetie, I just know you're going to find them.
We said peace and quiet.
You don't get quieter than this.
Hiram...
...where are the birds?
The completion documents for the sale of the Chase, Lady Deborah.
Thank you, Mrs Watkins.
I suppose it will just about cover the mortgage.
It was the only offer in 25 years.
Now, for neighbours we have yanks with more money than sense.
Hiram Otis would be hard pushed to have more sense than money.
He's currently ranked eighth in the Forbes rich list.
How very vulgar.
I assume the occupancy clause is watertight.
You know how litigious these Americans are. Oh, yes.
The Lord was quite punctilious
and insisted on him being included twice, once under the sitting tenant
clause and also under fixtures and fittings.
I don't expect them to last long.
But we shall see for ourselves.
"Lady Deborah de Canterville at home, dinner 7:30." Mmm.
I'm guessing an "at home" is English for a potluck?
At least the natives are friendly.
I hereby declare this family council in...session.
Now, we know you weren't sure about coming here.
We were sure. We didn't want to. Yes, but it isn't just about you.
Your father's an inventor, and boardroom life was destroying him.
Maybe if I'd spent less time in a boardroom and more with my family...
Maybe if I'd spent less time at work as well.
We just wanted to be a normal family,
not get dragged to a Wi-Fi black spot in the middle of nowhere. Exactly.
So instead of us being glued to devices, we can spend time
actually communicating with one another.
So let's call this clay one of a new chapter for the Otis family.
Why do you say? I have to unpack.
What are WE going to do? What boys used to do before the internet.
There's 5,000 acres of England out there.
Explore the woods, make a den, climb trees.
Under no circumstances are you climbing any trees.
Need any help? Thanks, I'm pretty much finished.
Um...aren't you going to unpack that?
I don't recall packing it.
You still could have a great legal career ahead of you.
Don't let one mistake destroy your life.
A mistake that destroyed a life.
Kayla's life was destroyed by the system.
And you know, you could have summer interned at some fancy law firm,
but instead you wanted to help people who needed it most
in an overstretched system.
And when resources are stretched, mistakes happen.
Moving on from those mistakes is all part of growing up.
Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.
I know, Mom. I was going to say if it was a horse,
you'd have got straight back in the saddle.
I know you and Dad are disappointed with me.
We're not disappointed in you. We love you. We want you to be happy.
I know you want to help, but you can't therapize this one away.
Don't forget the Cantervilles' potluck.
Find something nice to wear.
This way.
SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
Hi! Oh, you must be Mrs Umney.
Yes, madam. Please call me Lucy and I can call you...?
Mrs Umney, madam. Oh, good to meet you.
We feel very fortunate you came with the house. There's been Umneys
at the Chase as long as there's been Cantervilles.
Well, perhaps you'd like to give us the guided tour. But before that,
would you like a cup of tea?
This is my kitchen.
OK.
ANIMAL WHIMPERS
VOICES OVERLAP OUTSIDE
Get off him! Give him back!
Don't hurt him. Or what? You'll regret it.
We'll regret it, will we? What are you going to do?
Two against four.
Make that four against four.
I'm Theo and this is my brother Frank.
Oh, gee, it's the Olsen twins. Give him back.
No!
I'm a brown belt in Aikido.
Leg it! Leg it, boys.
Thanks. I'm Patience. This is my sister Charity.
What's aikido? Aikido? A form of defensive Japanese martial art.
Why do you call the stuff with a stick? Fighting.
We need to go home.
"When a golden girl can win prayer from the lips of sin,
"two houses shall reunite and the barren almond bear,
"then shall the house be still and peace come to Canterville."
And in here is the Tapestry Room.
Built during the age of Queen Elizabeth I.
Hi, sweetie. Could you tell me what this means, Mrs Umney?
It's beautiful.
We call it the Canterville Poem.
It's been there for centuries.
But no-one knows what it refers to.
Shall we?
You're certainly well-informed. Oh.
There's been Umneys at the Chase as long as there's been Cantervilles.
Wouldn't that be longer, as the Cantervilles have left?
Not all.
Oh, you mean it's haunted?
Well, that'll cheer up the boys. Mm-hm.
Oh, Mrs Umney, do you know what this is?
The cleaners couldn't get it out.
And a rug would wreak havoc with the feng shui. It won't come out.
Oh. Well, stain removal's Hiram's speciality.
He's the inventor of the, um, the Otis Max.
It's a vacuum cleaner. I'd be happy to provide you with one.
I'm very happy with my Constellation, thank you very much.
Though she won't remove that.
Blood has been spilt on this spot.
Oxidised haemoglobin is the devil, all right.
The devil has put it there.
In 1575, when Sir Simon de Canterville slayed his wife.
I'm a man of science, Mrs Umney. I don't believe in psychic phenomena.
Ah. Why are we eating in here?
Well, it turns out Mrs Umney has ancient territorial rights
over the kitchen.
"There be Umneys here as long as there be Cantervilles."
After 800 years, let's hope they know how to cook.
Newsflash, this house comes with a resident ghost.
Yeah, right. What is it?
He is Sir Simon de Canterville
who murdered his wife in the Great Hall in 1575.
Do you think we'll see him?
Well, there's an argument to support the theory to supernatural sightings
that are a result of electromagnetic fields.
What if they are real? The body of evidence and the number of people
who've seen them suggest an above average level of coincidence.
More likely, they're conjured by the brain as a subconscious method
of coping with grief. Can you pass the potatoes?
I'm afraid you guys aren't going to be able to convince us on this one.
You know, I was thinking, Hiram, we should call in on our neighbours
of the gypsy camp tomorrow and introduce ourselves.
Dumb Daniel, the suicide skeleton, always an applause winner,
or Marty the Maniac, the masked mystery.
Ah, Cesspit. What does thou think?
Would Gaunt Gideon, the bloodsucker of Bexley Moor,
bringeth down the house?
I wouldn't wager on it. Oh.
They don't believe in ghosts.
Surely they are afraid of my reputation.
They are...
They believe you to be an electromagnetic field.
What?! They would liken me to mud and grass?
This affront will not go unpunished.
Tell me, Cesspit, what nightmare haunts their dreams?
Harm befalling their offspring. They treat them like maidens.
Forbidden swordplay, wrestling and riding.
Then the mollycoddles will be first.
And the role decided.
Reckless Rupert.
Mm-hm. Always goeth down well with the children in the audience.
Oh, it's been a long time, my friend.
What say thee to a reprisal of the headless earl?
HE LAUGHS
LAUGHTER ECHOES FAINTLY THEN STOPS
Patience.
Hiram and Lucy Otis. Hey.
We just moved into the Chase.
Mango Love“.
The boys from the woods. Oh, what did they do? I'm so sorry.
They came in handy in a fight is all.
You've been camping here long? Around 500 years.
Oh, I thought gypsies moved around.
We don't.
We're waiting. What for? We'll know when it comes.
Well, it looks like you've had some trouble. Aye.
Flooding from the lake. Well, rather than bailing,
you might want to use the top meadow as it's sitting empty.
That's Canterville soil.
Gypsies have been banned there in perpetuity. Oh, it's Otis soil now.
Ancl while we may have been tardy,
Americans outlawed segregation in 1964.
You don't know what you're saying.
Well, I guess I'm saying this down here is a quagmire.
While up there, ten acres of prime grazing, better drainage,
better shelter and access to fresh water.
I can run a pipe and connect you guys to the mains. We're good.
I'm Theo and Frank's mom, Lucy. ls your mom here?
Maybe I could introduce myself to her.
Gone. The clay they were born.
Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Maybe sometime you guys could come over for a play date.
It was good to meet you. And if you change your mind about the field...
You know where we are.
Was the play date too much? Oh, maybe a little.
What's a play date?
Get back to work.
Hey, Dad. Hey, Dad. Hey!
So what do you think, guys?
Could this be the birthplace of the next great Otis invention?
Sure. Can we borrow some stuff?
Uh...yeah. Are you going to tell me what it was for?
We just want to prove the existence of ghosts.
Right. Well, help yourselves. Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Dad.
CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS
Oh, my goodness, look at this.
Oh... I'm guessing an "at home" isn't the same as a potluck.
Well clone. Complete and utter social humiliation.
My, my, Miss American Pie.
The Otises, I presume.
I'm Deborah de Canterville.
Someone didn't get the memo about the dress code.
Oh, thank you for the invitation, Lady Deborah.
This is a cherry pie. It's homemade from a family recipe.
How delightfully...American.
I'm sure Cook will be thrilled.
Oh, wow, it's a butler.
Is she rich?
Loaded, apparently. Nice one.
...Featherstonhaugh... We pronounce it Fanshawe.
Oh, it's a lovely place. How long have you been here?
Oh, about 1,000 years.
I inherited it from my father, the eighth Earl.
And your son, Lord Canterville, lives here as well?
With my grandson, Cecil.
It's no secret that the Chase was mortgaged to the hilt
after my late husband gambled the entire Canterville fortune
on a 200-1 outsider at New market.
Goodness. Quite the opposite.
When his horse lost, he suffered a fatal heart attack.
A blessing, really,
as it saved him from living the rest of his life with the dish on our.
Mummy. Oh, this must be your son.
I'm afraid so.
This is Mr and Mrs Hee-ram Otis and daughter.
Nice to meet you. Actually, we pronounce it High-ram. High.
How do you do? Hi.
At least someone has some sense. Hottest spring in years
and the men melting in penguin suits. Don't mind if I join you.
Heaven's sakes.
Put it on before everyone else follows suit.
Ralph Stilton. This is my sister, Moppy.
And the ugly mug is Cecil Cantwell.
Hello. Again.
I didn't realise you two were acquainted. We're not.
I saw him riding.
Nice horse. Thanks.
Magnus Opus. He's a bit of a show off.
That makes two of you, then.
He's just jealous because Cecil's winner of the Canterville Chase
for the last five years. Do you ride?
There's a ladies huddle, if you're up for it.
I'd rather enter the steeplechase. Isn't open t lady jockeys.
Are they scared of being beaten by a girl?
For their own protection as much as anything.
The fences are murderous.
How delightfully...English.
BELL TINKLES Oh, Nosh. Finally.
I could chew the hind leg of a deer.
INDISTINCT CHATTER
So what made you choose our neck of the English woods?
I have a family connection. My ancestor, Simeon Otis,
was born here before sailing for the New World.
Hiram is a member of the Mayflower Society. The whatty?
The descendants of the Puritans.
We persecuted them in the 17th century. Ah.
It's always been an ambition to trace my family tree.
But he's not in any records I could find in the States
so we decided to come here and track him down in person.
Is he the vacuum salesman? Guilty as charged, sir,
but I'm taking a break from the boardroom.
He's working on a new invention. Well...
Ah, my wife Lucy is a psychotherapist.
I'm surprised, given the size of your fortune,
you feel the need to send your wife out to work.
Well, in America we define ourselves not by who we are,
but by what we do.
What do you do, Mr, uh...?
Bluey is the Duke of Stilton. He's...?
Is that another funny English pronunciation?
Cheese. Blue cheese.
Doesn't matter. I suppose you have a private jet and a super yacht
and all that malarkey.
Not unless a rather ancient fishing sloop counts.
LAUGHTER
Shame
Water? Yes.
HE SLURPS
Oh, dear.
He's here.
Fear thee, my pretties.
HE LAUGHS
BOTH: Now!
Over here, Sir Simon. Say cheese.
Goal!
Did you get it? We got something.
So did you have any more thoughts on the ladies race? You should enter.
Give my sister some competition.
Like I said, I'd rather enter the steeplechase.
Not for the ladies. Bluey should know - he's head steward.
Oh, don't look at me.
The laws were written when they rode side-saddle.
There was I thinking the British emancipated women in 1918.
They aren't laws, merely a body of rules. To be laws,
they would have to be decreed by the British Parliament.
I cite by way of example the 1975 sex discrimination
and the 2006 and 2010 equality acts.
Gini studied at Harvard Law. Clever girl.
Are you planning on pursuing your career over here?
She's taking a break from her law studies while she considers
“QT next CGTQET move.
In our day, women didn't have time for jobs. Did they, Debo?
Such a dinosaur, Daddy. Everyone works these clays.
And what do you do?
I'm a social influencer and global charity ambassador.
Oh, what charity? Mafricure. Manicures for Africa.
Oh. We collect unwanted nail varnish, like literally thousands
a year from party bags and freebies, etc.
Then we ship them to women in remote villages.
Because nail care isn't just about grooming.
It's about self expression.
Ancl even if you lack water, electricity and stuff,
it doesn't mean you can't present a confident self to the world.
Load of tripe.
I would say I went down well.
It was quite a performance,
be it there was some deviation from the script.
Granted, it did require some improvisation, but I could not know
that they were so a feared that they would sleep protected.
But thou sawest their faces, heardst their screams of terror.
They were certainly cacophonous.
I brought down the house.
What are you doing?
Preparing for an encore.
Perchance tis about time the spinster and I met.
EXCITED CHATTER We've got photos!
What are you guys doing up? Discovery! I'm going to bed.
Night, honey.
Look, look, look. It looks like a sort of yellow fog.
There will be trouble if you've been making smoke bombs.
Daddy, tomorrow,
please can we go to the gypsy camp and get me a horse? Sure.
Start from the beginning. just one of you talk. Theodore, you first.
He entered in as some kind of fog who formed into a guy and he took his head off and dropped the head.
And then Frank kicked it. Back in the net. And then he sort of
just spirited back into fog and went out the chimney. Hmm...
Well, there's a surprise. They don't believe us.
No, that's not completely true.
But the subconscious is a very powerful thing, honey.
Ancl we're living in this big old house with tales of a ghost.
Sounds like a heck of a tale. So why don't we talk about it tomorrow?
Don't bother. Oh, I told you they wouldn't believe us.
Are you so sure we did the right thing? Hmm.
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
Ethelinda.
Morning, Mrs Umney. Morning.
We saw the ghost last night.
But our parents don't believe in ghosts.
They will. Can you tell us about Sir Simon?
Was he beheaded?
His bones have never been found.
Legend says that after he killed his wife,
he stole the family jewels and attempted to flee,
but he was captured and walled up alive in a secret priest hole,
along with the treasure... BOTH: Whoa.
...cursed to lament his wife by day
and haunt the house at night.
So, wait... What's a priest hole?
The Cantervilles were Catholic during the Reformation.
It was punishable by death.
So houses such as this were fitted with secret rooms and escape routes,
in the event of being raided.
Mrs Umney, are you saying that the Canterville treasure is still here,
lying undiscovered in a hidden priest hole?
SHE LAUGHS
You think every square inch hasn't been searched
by every generation of Cantervilles?
But found it will never be.
We'll see about that.
They're not for sale.
Got them for the Wetherby Auctions.
It sounds like they are for sale,
and for the right price you could save yourself
a set of feed and transportation costs.
Is your eye on one? The grey.
He's not broken in.
Won't have anyone but me on his back.
SHE CLICKS HER TONGUE
HORSE HUFFS
She's quite the horse whisperer.
Let the horse decide.
What's his name?
Pilgrim's Prophecy.
What do you call him?
Jim_
Hey, jim.
HORSE NEIGHS
Whoa, boy. Whoa.
HORSE NEIGHS
Come on, Jim. Come on.
He won't clear that.
Come on,jim.
Whoa. Whoa, boy!
Ah!
Oh, no. Please, no.
Ginny?
No, no, no. Ginny.
No, no, no, no. Call911.
SHE COUGHS
Oh! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Don't move.
Does it hurt? Where does it hurt? I'm fine, Dad. Are you all right? I'm fine.
Hey, honey, maybe you can choose another one.
There's no need. Said yes.
SHE CLEARS HER THROAT
SHE SCREAMS
CROCKERY CRASH ES
Hiram's testing a new stain remover.
Remarkable, isn't it?
What have you done?
Oh, if you're talking about the ghost,
eh, I'm sure I'll get over it.
Why don't I fetch a broom?
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
Ruddy Yanks!
Little minx has only sent in an entry for the Chase,
AND threatened legal action if we refuse!
What's she riding? Some brute of a beast, according to Ralph.
Knocking on 17 hands and holds his own over fences.
He'll give Magnus a run for his money.
Cec, is it too much to ask that you show some concern?
A horse is only as good as its rider.
It's not about winning.
It's about parvenu Americans thinking they can come over here
and overturn centuries of tradition.
You'll put a stop to it.
Ha! Ran it past the legals, and there's nothing we can do.
Good grief, Bluey. Your father flew in the Battle of Britain.
Your ancestor drew up the battle plans for Waterloo.
I doubt either of them said, "There's nothing we can do."
You just have to be more inventive.
Canterville Chase is 19,350 square feet.
How long will that take us?
Well, based on 25 square feet a day,
and factoring it to search to success ratio,
anywhere between an hour to 800 days.
What are you doing?
Can't you read the sign? What?
"Biohazardous waste."
That you?
They're looking for the treasure.
By the way, your search area is less than 10,000 square feet.
It's confined to the Reformation part of the building.
In the great wing and the North Tower.
How do you know? The gypsies built it.
Our ancestor, Peter Lovell, was master builder.
What do rich boys want with treasure?
So we can get out of this place and go home.
Wait, don't go!
The Chase was built by gypsies.
If anyone knows about the priest hole... Even if someone did,
why would they tell you?
How about we cut you in? 10%.
50. 30, final offer.
Take it or leave it.
Fine. OK, then. 50/50.
CROWD CHATTERS
16lb over.
I'm carrying 15lb.
That makes me Mb under.
You've been awarded a 20lb penalty. What?
If you have a problem, take it up with the stewards.
Watch out. This should be good.
Horses registered with professionally licensed trainers
carry a 20lb penalty.
He isn't. I trained him.
Django Lovell is licensed with the Racing Regulatory Board,
who are yet to receive documents for change of ownership.
Until such time, the horse accrues the stated penalty.
It's all here in black and white, if you'd like to read the small print.
Section 5, para 7, subsection 3.
Thank you. I will.
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
Madam, sir.
10 to 1, Honest Man.
It's just a race.
I hate them. I hate this place.
But the main thing is, you tried, honey,
and we couldn't be more proud of you.
And we know you could have won it bareback, hmm?
Thanks, Dad.
We filed the paperwork. His Nibs' cousin
is head of the Point-To-Point Committee. Hmm. Figures.
Now, I'm as good as my word,
but there's no harm putting it in writing.
What's this?
If the Cantervilles can ban you in perpetuity,
I can grant you tenancy of ten acres under the same terms.
It's all there, signed and notarised.
I told you. Darn right you did.
All this does is entitle you to change your mind.
My grandmother says you can come for tea on Wednesday.
OK, we'll be there.
Want to check out the horses? Yeah.
Find us a good spot.
Six runners and riders.
2 to 1 on favourite, Magnus Opus,
the one to beat today.
Fleeting Interest and Mucky Duck at 5 to 1.
Honest Man and Archibald House, 12 to 1.
Village Drama, the outside chance at 50 to 1.
And, er... Oh, it looks like we have a seventh runner.
Number nine, Pilgrim's Prophecy,
who was withdrawn on a penalty
but looks to have re-entered the race,
without a saddle.
Thank you.
Weight restrictions are inclusive of tack,
although there's no rule prohibiting riding bareback.
If you'd like to read the small print,
section 8, para 12, subsection 6.
Stupid girl.
Looks like she shed the extra weight.
Give him a view of the fences.
Crikey. Hope the meat wagon's standing by.
Listen. Well clone, you, for making your point.
It's not worth breaking your neck over, though.
Your concern is duly noted.
Hiram! Hiram!
Stop her! And the starter's flag is up. Right.
And they're off... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
...on the 210th Canterville Chase.
Runners heading for the first of 15 fences over 16 furlongs,
and Magnus Opus and Mucky Duck are among the first to show.
Village drama slowly away.
And as they settle down, it's Magnus Opus from Mucky Duck.
Need a better view?
Oh! Where are you going? To get a better view.
What, a better view of our daughter trying to kill herself?
She's not fallen yet.
ANNOUNCER: Trailing the field is Pilgrim's Prophecy,
looking a long way off the early pace
as they approach the first.
And, as they head down the hill,
it's Magnus Opus who just shows clear of Honest Man.
Mucky Duck a close third.
Nothing between these three as they hit the second.
ALL: Oh!
Ooh!
Ancl Village Drama is down and has taken one... No, two down with him.
And there's havoc,
as Pilgrim's Prophecy comes up from behind and clears it well.
Wonderful Amazon, your girl.
Only four horses left...
She's still on.
Magnus Opus holding the lead.
Honest Man and Mucky Duck
and next behind is Pilgrim's Prophecy
making steady progress at the back.
Oh, and it looks as if Honest Man has run out of steam
and out of the race
as the remaining three reach the ridge.
Move! Get away!
Arghg
HORSE WHINNIES
Urghg
They come down the hill as they make for the final fence!
There she blows!
You can look now, she's doing great!
Pilgrim's Prophecy is making up the distance.
Half a length behind.
Ancl it'd neck and neck now!
Come on, Cecil! Come on, you can do it!
Magnus Opus first.
Pilgrim's Prophecy and...
by a nose...
in first place on the board Magnus Opus,
ridden and trained by the Honourable Cecil Canterville.
In second place, number nine, Pilgrim's Prophecy,
trained and ridden by Miss Virginia Otis.
Congratulations. Well ridden.
Thanks. You know, you would have beaten me with a saddle.
I'll guess I'll see you next year, then.
I look forward to it.
And the trophy today awarded by Lady Deborah Cantewfle
to grandson Cecil for the sixth year in a row.
APPLAUSE
Well done, Cecil. Thank you.
APPLAUSE
Bravo!
Sorry about back there.
It's Mucky, he can get a bit bolshie.
It wasn't... It wasn't deliberate.
I hope he's OK.
So, do you play tennis?
Yeah.
Great. Mixed doubles. Monday, 3:00. Sure.
Ancl the runner-up prize goes to Miss Virginia Otis.
APPLAUSE
BOTH: USA! USA!
Looks like the Canterville Chase is now open to lady riders
without saddles.
Congratulations. Thank you.
Picture of the winner and the runner-up, please?
You don't mind if I borrow my fiancee for a photo? Sure.
GHOSTLY BREATH
Close the door, hon. It's freezing.
ICE CRACKLES
I've heard about the British stiff upper lip,
but all it's giving me is a stiff upper back.
Ow! Ow, that hurts!
But in a good way.
Oh!
Lucy...
Don't move, Hiram.
GHOST GROWLS
OK, buddy.
Lucy-
My name is Lucy.
We mean you no harm.
GHOST GROWLS Friend.
Do you think he even understands?
I don't know. Poor guy, he doesn't look too good.
How dare you?!
Could you keep the noise down? Some of us are trying to..
Good evening.
You must be Sir Simon.
It's nice to meet you.
I guess we owe the boys an apology.
Never in an uninterrupted and brilliant career of 500 years
have I ever been so GROSSLY INSULTED!
And the wretched modern Americans
offer me condolences and friendship.
No ghost in history has ever been treated in this manner.
RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES PLAYS
THUNDER CRACKS
Now they appear to have offended the ghost.
We welcomed these people with open arms.
This is how they repay us.
You can hardly call them "open".
Top photo of Cecil and Virginia.
We should get a copy.
Bright side,
at least she didn't win.
They are under the impression
that they lost the battle but won the war.
Trust me,
this war hasn't even started.
STORM RAGES
The lake burst its banks, but it looks like the levels moved
up to the north meadow in the nick of time.
It was quite a storm, huh?
I didn't sleep a wink.
I couldn't stop thinking about Sir Simon.
Poor guy looks so distressed, Hiram.
Hmm.
Do you think we should send a gift to apologise for frightening him?
Nice idea, honey.
You know, I think we were in the eye of it.
The damage isn't as bad as I feared.
# Shelter in the time of storm
# Secure whatever ill betide
# Shelter in the time of storm
# Oh, Jesus is a rock in a weary land
# A weary land
# Oh, Jesus is a rock in a weary land
# Shelter in a time of storm.
# No fears alarm, no foes afright
# A shelter in the time of storm. #
Lady Deborah.
Delightful sermon this morning, Reverend.
Although the end dragged.
Please do try to remember the ten-minute rule.
Oh, dear.
I don't suppose the insurance...
Ghost damage comes under exclusion clauses.
Curse his bones.
He's obviously not best pleased with his new incumbents.
Sooner they leave the better.
I couldn't agree more, Elvis.
What on earth can they have done to offend him, I wonder?
Morning.
Morning, Reverend.
So, how are you finding England's green and pleasant?
A bit of a culture shock.
I don't expect you'll stick around.
Don't you have law studies to resume?
Actually, I've decided I'm not cut out for law.
So what are you going to do with your life?
You sound like my mom.
You know what mothers are like? Hardly!
His bolted with a bridge player for Monte Carlo
and ours upped sticks to become a Buddhist nun.
The last known location was some temple near Wat Chiang man,
wherever the blazes that is.
BOTH: Northern Thailand.
Is she coming to the wedding?
HE LAUGHS
I sincerely hope not.
I hesitate to use the words 'wedding of the year',
but the Prince of Wales is the guest of hon our.
The last thing I want is a bald mother-of-the-bride
in an orange sari ruining photos
because literally everyone who is anyone will be there.
We hope you can come.
Although it will have to be reception party only
as the chapel only seats 300.
Don't be a numpty! She can be my plus one.
I wouldn't want to ruin the seating plan.
The Duke of Stilton, Your Ladysh...
Ruddy man! This is alll need.
What on earth's the matter, Huey'?
You look like a heart attack in waiting.
Dicky Wales has invited himself to stay on his way
to Scotland next month.
Bad luck. He'll drink my best vintages.
Ancl how I'll entertain him when the shooting season
hasn't even started.
He is rather high maintenance. Can't you find an excuse?
Hardly.
As my high maintenance daughter would kill me,
seeing as he star guests at her wedding.
Rafe seems smitten with the Otis girl.
He's not the only one smitten.
Have you seen the way she makes eyes at Cecil?
If we're not careful, none of them will make a suitable match.
I say, Bluey...
What do you say we kill two birds with one stone?
CRENQNG
RAT SQUEAKS
Hmm.
Ooh!
I didst underestimate them.
So impressed were they by my performance
they didst leave me a tribute.
They seem strange tributes.
"Dear Sir Simon, it was a pleasure to meet you,
"and apologies if we alarmed you at all."
"Please accept these natural remedies."
"Which we hope you will find helpful for your soothing
"rest and relaxation.
"Sincerely, the Otis Family.
UPS“
What does PS mean?
"Given the importance of sleep to adolescent brain development
"We'd very much appreciate it if you could limit haunting
to before 11pm."

WHALE SONG PLAYS
Hiram?
HIRAM SNORES
Do you think that means he appreciates my gift basket?
At the black moon,
when Chanticleer doth sound twice his merry horn
deeds of blood will be wrought
and murder walk abroad with silent feet.
I'm not sure if "appreciate" is the word I'd use.
Death threats from a dead man.
Way to go.
Did you see how he turned brown?
The bath bombs exploded. They stuck to him.
So? Our ghost isn't an apparition. He's made of atoms.
Solid matter.
That's an impressive deduction.
Although his molecular make-up must be considerably lighter
than ours in order for him to disperse.
You mean he can't just disappear?
Mrs Umney, do you know who Chanticleer is?
A cursed cockerel.
Legend says that if he crows twice during the midnight hour,
a member of the household will die.
I take it this theory is tried and tested?
The last time was in 1850,
when Lord Mgby Cantewfle was struck down, aged 29.
How did he die?
Said he was frightened to death by the ghost.
Well, then, I don't think we have anything to worry about.
BELL RINGS
I suppose they'll redecorate.
Paint everything the colour of wet cement
and call it New York chic or some such thing.
I've never been.
Visited the Hamptons a few times.
It's a bit like Cornwall, but without poor people.
Oh, good morning!
I was just saying how much I was looking forward to see
what you're going to do with the decor.
Well, I'll ask Mrs Umney to fetch us some tea.
Oh, there's no need. I'll get straight to the point.
Now the Chase is reoccupied.
Bluey thought it might be a good idea to revive a local tradition.
“Mm!
Didn't you Bluey?
The Stilton Canterville cricket match,
established in 1680 by way of lowering the local murder rate.
We fought on opposite sides in the Civil War.
A lot of old scores, dead bodies piling up everywhere.
Oh...
So the families decided to vent their aggression
on the playing field, captaining their tenants
in an annual cricket match.
Then over the years, it became the highlight of the social calendar
until the family moved out.
What does this involve?
Oh, nothing onerous.
Captain a team from the village and lay on match refreshments.
Basically, a fun clay out for the locals and their families.
Oh, we'll do it! Oh, splendid!
It will be huge fun.
Morning. Morning.
Well, thank you for coming.
'Bye.
We've been wanting to get to know the locals better.
Hiram, is now a good time to point out
you know absolutely nothing about cricket?
It can't be that different from baseball.
Ancl the boys can join in.
I guess I just can't help feeling that woman is up to something.
You want to find the lost treasure of the Cantervilles?
So what makes you think you'll succeed
when so many others before you have failed?
Maybe they didn't ask the right questions to the right people.
Ask your questions.
Well, the gypsies built Canterville Chase,
so they must have built the priest hole.
They never finished building it.
They had a falling out with Lorcl Henry
and were banished from Canterville soil.
Why doesn't the ghost leave?
Spirits can't roam.
They need to be within reach of their earthly bones
to recharge their energy.
Oh, like a vampire's coffin.
Like a battery.
He died unshriven,
denied divine mercy.
Ancl so cursed to limbo,
was trapped inside the walls of his own house.
Just one more thing, ma'am.
Do you know what a black moon is?
Rare nights when the sky is completely black
and spirits are at the most powerful.
TELEPHONE RINGS
Canterville Chase.
One moment.
Buckingham Palace, madam.
Lucretia Otis.
Commander Tommy Tiverton.
Personal Private Secretary to His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales.
Oh, I'm afraid you must have the wrong number.
Mrs Hiram Otis? Yes. Excellent.
Ancl may I start by extending His Royal Highness' thanks for hosting,
so if we can talk lists of requirements
and security arrangements,
and there'll probably be a small press presence,
but we'll deal with that.
The Prince Richard?
Yes, Hiram, the heir to the British throne.
Buckingham Palace are keen to firm up the details
of the itinerary, given that he is president of the MCC
and looking forward to a stonking match.
I guess it will be one to tell the grandchildren.
How the English gave the Americans a public whooping?
You know, I knew that woman was up to something.
This isn't a friendly for the locals.
This is the social event of the year and we're the entertainment.
Please tell me we have a team.
Hi there.
Morning.
Hiram Otis.
I've recently moved... I know who you are.
Wonderful store.
Least you get Wi-Fi in the village.
We don't any more.
The mast blew down the other night.
Oh, it was quite a storm, huh?
Hasn't met a storm like that in 25 years.
Hmm.
I don't know if you've heard, but we're reviving the...
Oh, looks like you've heard.
In that case, I'm some players short of a cricket team.
Is there some place I can put a sign up sheet?
Try the church notice board.
Church notice...
Thank you for your help.
SHEEP BLEATING
OK. What do we know?
One, the ghost must return to his bones to recharge.
And two, he's appearing at the next black moon. Next Friday.
Exactly.
So why don't we follow him back to his priest hole?
How can we follow someone who can vanish through walls?
Because he can't go through solid objects. He's made of atoms.
He skips through cracks in the house.
So?
So...we can track and trace him.
Fast release.
Lovely day.
Oh, it's nice to see a friendly face.
I'm not exactly top of the polls round here.
It's the storm.
They took quite a battering.
Well, you can hardly blame an American for the British climate.
Actually, they blame the ghost.
They only blame you by association.
Now, that's funny you mentioned a ghost.
There's nothing funny about Sir Simon.
He's a particularly malevolent spirit.
Been causing localised storms for centuries.
Gathered you'd reinstated the match.
I don't suppose any Cantervilles are able to volunteer.
Cecil's playing for the Stilton team,
under pain of death from Moppy.
And I'm booked in for a knee replacement.
Oh.
But let me know if you need any help on the coaching side.
I may hold you to that.
So how about we transfer our baseball skills
to the cricket pitch?
Frank used to be champion Little League pitcher
before the...incident.
Ancl Theo... Has octopus hands and two left feet.
We'd never win.
It's not about winning, it's about playing the game.
What's in it for us?
Honour and glory, Theodore.
What about Ginny?
I can't even play baseball.
I'll be first aider.
LUCY: Oh, good.
Well, since you got some time on your hands...
Look, I've got you these brochures.
Oxford and Cambridge do some excellent law conversion courses.
Actually, I was thinking I could help Dad with his genealogy project.
I'd like that very much.
Great. Then I'll get on it tomorrow.
You'll need to go to Fanshawe.
The Cantervilles took the archives with them when they moved out.
Straight up, I think we may have inadvertently offended him.
I'm guilty myself.
40 years ago, on my arrival as a young curate,
I attempted an exorcism on Sir Simon.
He found my delivery so offensive that he...
he...he stuck skeletal fingers down my throat
and s-strangled my Adam's apple.
Oh. m'!-
Then he whipped up a storm which brought the belfry down.
Took three years to gain the trust of the village after that,
and f-f-five years of speech therapy before I could deliver a sermon.
Hmm.
Well, the reason I'm here...
May I introduce Mr Django Lovell, roofing specialist.
Reverend.
There's been so much storm damage over the years,
it's like an over-darned sock.
Economic long term solution is to replace the entire roof.
You're preaching to the converted,
but there are only so many bring-and-buy sales a parish can hold.
Well, it was caused by my sitting tenant, so that'd be on me.
I'm... I'm overwhelmed.
The timing couldn't be better as the future supreme governor
of the Church of England is doing a drive by on his way to the match.
I see you put a sign up sheet on the notice board.
Let's just say it hasn't exactly been a stampede.
I'm sure once news of your largesse gets out...
I'd rather it didn't, if you don't mind.
As my grandfather always said, "|t ain't charity
"when you help yourself."
WATER DRIPPING
BELL RINGS
Good afternoon.
Lord Canterville said you'd be expecting me.
Follow me, Miss.
Hello there.
My dad's researching his family tree,
and your dad kindly gave him access to the estate records.
Which is why I'm here, on behalf of my father,
for purposes of research.
Thanks, Dan by. I've got this.
Follow me.
HEY, GUYS, what's up?
Oh, hey, Dad. Can we borrow some stuff?
Sure. Help yourselves.
What's that?
That's the Cytronic Stain Remover.
Ah.
It's a vacuum cleaner for stains.
That's like home technology mixed with cybertronics.
Way to go, Theo.
It's quite revolutionary.
At least it will be if I can get it to work.
Hmm.
DISTANT CHATTERING
HAMMERING
Good morning, Lady D-D-Deborah.
Good morning.
I see you found a benefactor.
An extremely generous, anonymous benefactor
who's funding the complete replacement of the roof.
The whole shebang?
Who on earth could possibly afford to...?
He made me swear to secrecy.
Hiram Otis?
Although good deeds do have a way of getting out.
But not for me.
Us.
Neither of us want to be guilty of betraying a confidence.
Trust me, they won't hear it from me.
KNOCKING ON DOOR
Thought you may be in need of a cuppa.
What is it with the English and tea?
It isn't just a beverage.
For we English,
no six words can convey such multitude of meaning as
"Shall I put the kettle on?"
It's a ritual and a metaphor
for welcome,
celebration,
condolence,
and aP0l°9Y-
I could do with some of its superpowers.
I'm sorry,
but Jeremiah and Sarah Otis had nine children born between 1568 and 1579,
but none of them named Simeon.
And the only birth recorded in 1575 was a girl.
Hephzibah Otis, born July, 1575,
four months before Simeon, which...
It's biologically impossible.
Mm-hm.
Hmm.
Well, you spend your whole life thinking you're someone
only to find out perhaps you're not.
What about Simeon's sketchbooks?
Proof he was born and raised in Canterville.
Yeah. Maybe he's a relative, a nephew perhaps.
Or a criminal fleeing the country under a false identity.
Nice, Frank.
There are shelves of estate records.
There must be mention of him somewhere.
And if there is, I'll find him.
Thanks, Ginny.
How were the match entertainments?
Well, not very entertaining.
According to Mrs Umney, it's just tea and sandwiches.
Although she has offered her scout a cappella choir
to sing the national anthem.
LUCY CHUCKLES
How's a cricket team coming together?
WIND GUSTS
Are you all right?
Pardon me for saying, but you don't look well.
I'm hurried, rude, vulgar and dishonest.
Family is to blame.
A tad hypocritical when making death threats
is hardly polite, or trying to terrorise people.
It is the reason for my existence.
To lament by clay and haunt by night.
Then forgive me for asking the obvious question,
but why don't you just leave?
Because of this.
I don't know what it means.
I am cursed.
I cannot weep for my sins for I have no tears,
nor plead for my soul because I have no faith.
Thus, I am to...await the arrival of a golden child
who shalt plead my case before the Angel of Death.
Ancl shouldst he show mercy, I will pass to the garden of rest.
Then the house of life and the house of death shall reunite
and peace shall come to Canterville.
And until then?
I am trapped in...perpetual unrest.
But that's so...so unjust.
LUCY: Ginny, who are you talking to?
Uh, no-one.
Good morning, Elvis.
Morning.
Goodness, this is exciting.
Quite the mystery.
Although one can't help but wonder at the coincidence.
Coincidence?
Well, that this act of munificence should happen
right before Prince Richard's visit.
Just between us,
I believe he is very well known
for his anonymous charitable gestures.
Anyway, I expect we'll never find out.
Morning.
BELL TOLLS
COCKEREL CALLS
It's a fine nocturn,
my proud young Struttercombe.
NOW!
0w!
Oh!
LUCY: What in...!
Hiram, they have paintball guns!
You could've taken someone's eye out.
What on earth were you doing?
GINNY: Tormenting the ghost. Can't you be nice?
Well, where did the paint go?
It stuck to the ghost.
|t's...|t's like dye packs that they use in bank robberies.
What kind of paint?
Powder mixed with ultraviolet,
so that we can track him back to the priest hole.
Atta boy. See, now, that is very... Hiram.
Hmm? Right. Yeah.
Time to call it a night.
Go to bed.
Are you asleep?
Let's go.
SNORING
We need to go down.
Perdition sees this pustulous prince of poultry.
I did mention he was unreliable.
I heard talking.
Is this your pet?
Hello.
Aren't you sweet.
Is she a simpleton?
Very possibly.
It is my familiar.
Cesspit.
I canst assure you he is aught but confection.
400 years I have endured his prattergabble.
Feels like a thousand.
I thank the not to interrupt my conversement.
Is he talking to you?
For my sins,
he rarely desists.
A vexatious vermin bound to me in limbo.
Bound?
As in a legal contract?
Why ist a female speaking of jurisprudence?
I studied law for a while. HE SCOFFS
Women are not permitted to study the law.
Times have moved on.
Women can do everything men do now.
Ancl their menfolk suffer it?
Has it occurred she could be the one?
Jabbernole.
I await a golden girl, not a pitch haired spinster past her prime.
I'm 22.
As I said.
The meaning is open to interpretation.
Or must we wait till your bones crumble in the dust?
I suppose aught is preferable to thy noxious chittering.
Madam...
...wouldst thy do thyself the hon our to be mine advocate?
Convince the Angel of Death to show you mercy? Mm.
What if I fail?
I am sentenced to the garden of unrest
whence there is no love nor reconciliation.
I can't. Hmm.
I already destroyed a life.
I won't risk destroying your death.
Ah.
What are you doing?
Tracking the ghost.
He went this way.
Oh, can't you leave the poor man alone?
What's under here?
Gotcha!
We found this in the library.
This can't be right.
I mean, look, here's the tapestry room,
and there's nothing underneath. It's solid ground.
If there is a priest hole underneath, they're hardly likely
to put it on a plan and stick it in the library.
This isn't the master plan,
but the builders must have had one.
Peter Lovell's box.
He was master builder of the Chase.
His original plans should be in there.
Do you think we could have a look at them?
DOG WHIMPERS
Any luck with the elusive Simeon?
None so far.
But I found a mention of his alleged father, Jeremiah.
Here are the Canterville records.
"4th of December, 1575,
"Jeremiah Otis fined one shilling for poaching."
I wouldn't advertise the fact you're descended
from criminal ancestry if I were you.
Cecil, your fiancee's here.
Right.
Thanks. I'll...
I should be going, too.
Thank you for having me, Lady Deborah.
I'll see you out.
Give my regards to your parents.
Everyone is really looking forward to the cricket tomorrow.
It promises to be so entertaining.
Is something the matter?
She seems strangely familiar.
Not strange at all. There's a portrait of her at Canterville.
She was Lady Eleanor Fanshawe before her marriage to Sir Simon.
The murdered wife.
Died 1576.
Isn't that a year after Sir Simon was supposed to have murdered her?
So says the legend.
The truth is far more mundane.
Brain dropsy induced by melancholia,
according to the records at the time.
Yet another Fanshawe woman who made the mistake
of marrying a Canterville.
No, not there. There. There.
Mrs Otis, Commander Tiverton.
Good to meet you. Good to meet you.
Sorry, but what is all this?
Yes. The powers that be felt it was worthy of coverage
clue to the special relationship.
Hands across the pond and all that. PHONE VIBRATES
Excuse me.
Good afternoon, sir.
Well, yes, as fortune fairs, she's right here.
It's the American ambassador.
Just wants to wish you luck.
Lucrezia Otis.
Yeah. Thank you. Yeah.
We'll do our best to fly the flag.
We will. Goodbye.
All right.
OK, so it looks like it's just us.
I might have a gammy knee, but I should be able to hit
a couple of balls. Oh.
It's only me, I'm afraid.
Tried to garner support, but subtext is not really their strong point.
Thank you, Reverend. OK, so we're eight now.
That's 9.09% better than seven.
We're still three players short. We'll never win.
This isn't about winning.
This isn't even about playing the game.
It's about losing with as much dignity as possible.
FAN FARE
How are you, Clarice?
Livid. Who could blame you?
Your hostess, Mrs Lucretia Otis from Boston, USA.
Oh, is this how you play cricket over there?
Well, in the spirit of detente,
we decided to add an American flavour to the festivity.
Oh. Your Royal Highness.
Cecil, Deborah Canterville's grandson.
Cecil, good to see you.
Are you sure about the opposition?
Is that it? Appears to be, Your Highness.
Oh.
SUNG TO TUNE OF GOD SAVE THE KING: CHOIR: # Long live...

# With freedom's holy light

# Praise God, our king. #
Very good. APPLAUSE
Good luck, chaps.
All right. Let's see what they're made of.
Oh, how marvellous.
Which one's which?
Go, Canterville!
Come on! Go, Cantervilles!
Pitch it up.
Catch it!
Do you like cricket?
Until a few weeks ago, I knew nothing about it.
But since then, I've grown to genuinely detest it.
Oh, snap.
Oh, I had my clay all planned
catching up on this week's Cash In The Attic.
I should never have let my husband talk me into this.
I know the feeling.
You've got this!
Catch it!
Heads up. Poor Dad.
Oh, hopeless. They don't have the numbers to cope.
It's quite fun, really.
Which one's which?
Chin up.
Come on, Cecil!
Cecil, yes.
Cecil's coming on.
Catch it!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
What's happening?
Seems young Cecil's decided to even up the teams, ma'am.
Very sporting.
Top chap you've got there.
Yay Cecil! Yay!
Stupid boy.
Would you like some popcorn?
Why?
It's traditional at American sporting events. Oh.
I find it helps with the boredom.
Cecil, get in close. Forward short leg. Good call. Yeah.
Put him off.
Come on, then.
Here we go, Canterville.
CROWD GAS PS
Oh, I say! Oh, no!
That's going to hurt it, isn't it?
Can someone do something?
Yo. How are you?
I'm OK. Sure?
Are you all right?
I'm fine. Good to go.
Oh, he's good to go.
He's good to go.
Dad? You're going nowhere.
You did us proud, but your match is over.
Captain's orders.
APPLAUSE
What's happening, Tommy?
We're halfway through the match, ma'am.
The Cantervilles are batting next.
I don't fancy their chances.
Thank you, Tommy.
I hope you didn't give up the law to go into medicine.
Honey!
Why did you give it up?
The real reason.
I wanted to make a difference.
Turns out I did.
Only not for the better.
I was interning for a nonprofit, preparing for a big appellate case.
Can I have that in British?
A charity investigating miscarriages of justice.
Kayla was an 18-year-old accused of killing her stepfather.
It was clear self-defence, but the prosecution pressed
for first-degree murder, and it wasn't looking good...
...until| found an unused legal precedent.
So, what happened?
I made a mistake with the evidence.
It was minor, but enough to get the whole argument
declared inadmissible and threw into doubt the line of defence.
Kayla was found guilty and sentenced to life without parole.
18 years old, and she'll spend the rest of her life in prison
because of me.
You can't let one mistake destroy your future.
You sound like my mother.
At least you didn't bolt when you were in nappies.
I'm sorry.
That was super tactless.
It's OK.
I barely remember her.
Except she smelled of freesias.
I've always hated the smell of freesias.
What do you want out of life?
I don't want my epitaph to read,
"Here lies Cecil Canterville,
"born with a silver spoon in his mouth." Hmm.
I want to change the way Featherstonhaugh has been run for centuries.
Green agriculture.
Renewable energy sources.
Permaculture, aquaponics and hydroponics.
Crop rotation and polycultures.
Sorry.
I sound a right bore.
What's next for you?
That's the million-dollar question.
Feeling better?
Remember, we're three players short, so make every ball count.
Hiram andjango in first,
followed by me, then Reverend Dampier,
Frank, Patience, Theo and Charity.
All right?
Go on!
THEY CHEER
CROWD GROAN
Good try, Dad.
Good luck.
Wish I understood the rules more, Tommy.
Canterville need 91 runs with their best batsman injured, ma'am.
Thank you, Tommy.
Hardly much of a contest.
It is rather embarrassing.
You've got this!
They're on the brink of a batting collapse.
It's all over before it started.
Not quite.
Sorry we're late.
It took me a while to round everyone up.
Oh, God bless you, Elvis.
Your arrival couldn't be more timely.
I was just going in. Ah.
What's happening, Tommy?
That's the village cavalry out. Oh, bravo.
Down to the last three batsmen now.
Well, we went out fighting.
You've got this!
Run! Run! Quick!
Oh, dear. Poor chap has run his brother out.
Yeah, right, octopus hands.
It's down to Charity and Theo now.
Six balls remaining, and they need seven runs to win the match.
Well, that sounds achievable. Oh, I wouldn't get your hopes up.
Last two are usually last for a reason.
Nice!
Run!
This came at the post office.
Special delivery.
Looked important, so...
Hmm, thank you.
Nice!
Run!
Reminds me of the Ashes in 1981. Last ball, ma'am.
And Canterville need to hit a four.
It's actually rather thrilling.
SHE LAUGHS GLEEFULLY
He's done it!
CHEERING
Oh, bravo!
Jolly well played!
That was amazing!
You guys did great.
You've more than clone your bit.
I'm sure you don't need to stay.
He can phone ahead and tell this cook
to have something waiting.
Not ruddy likely!
Looks like the party's just getting started.

CLOCK TICKS
WALKING ON SUNSHINE CONTINUES
# And I don't want to spend my whole life
# just a-waiting for you
# I don't want you back for the weekend
# Not back for a day
# Baby, I just want you back and I want you to stay
# I'm walking on sunshine
# Whoa-oh-oh
# I'm walking on sunshine
# Whoa-oh-oh
# I'm walking on sunshine
# Whoa-oh-oh
# And don't it feel good
# Ooh, yeah
# It's time to feel good
# Now every time I go for the mailbox
# Gotta hold myself down
# Cos I just can't wait till you write me
# You're coming around
# I'm walking on sunshine... #
MUSIC BECOMES DISTORTED
LOUD RINGING IN EARS
