The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter filming, Guy Dexter slips downstairs, finds Barrow's hideaway, and tells him not to say sir. Carson is no longer in charge. Dexter has lived in America for ten years and does not believe in that stuff anymore. He offers Hancock Park: run the house, organize the journeys, make them both comfortable. He will wait for Barrow to come to a decision.
