[FEMALE VOICE] Darling, the car's going

Darling, did you hear me?
I can't find my espadrilles. The ones
we got in Aruba with the little, uh,
the scuba divers on the fronts.
Forget the espadrilles, where's Orlando?
Orlando isn't coming.
They're sending someone else.
[BELL RINGS]

[BUZZING]
[TREVOR] Shoo.

[SOFT CHUCKLE]
Good morning, Mrs Kolstad-Burgenbottom.
Bergenbatten. Kolstad-Bergenbatten.
Kolstad-Bergenbatten, sorry.
Thank you.
On behalf of er, House-sitters Deluxe,
may I apologize for the last-minute change
-in personnel and assure you that
-[PHONE RINGS]
all our staff are trained
to the same BSI404 house-sitting
[NINA] Christian, the car's here!
[TREVOR FORLORN] industry standards.
- [BUZZING]
- [LUGGAGE BANGING DOWN STAIRS]
[SIGHS] I found them,
in a drawer with the flip-flops.
- Is this him?
- Good morning, Sir. Pleased to meet you
Yeah, do you mind if we get on with this?
We're in a bit of a rush
and I need to be quick.
Okay.
Everything you need to
know is written in this manual.
- Manual. Right. Good.
- [TENTATIVE MUSIC]
[NINA] It's all very straightforward.
Special edition Miele,
infra red beam to open.
[DRAWER CLICKS]
Taps are gesture operated.
Left for on. Up for hot. Down for cold.
[DOG BARKS]
Right for off.
Oh, that's Cupcake. She's very friendly.
- [TREVOR] Oh gracious.
- [LICKING]
[NERVOUSLY] Yes,
you are friendly, aren't you?
[NINA] Sliding doors.
Keys are in this drawer.
- [TREVOR PATIENTLY] Okay.
- And all the blinds are remote controlled.
Oh, right, I'll sorry, just a moment,
[NINA] And here
- [PHONE RINGS]
- [TREVOR WHISPERS] Down!
- [NINA] Yes, hello?
- [CHRISTIAN] Er
You'll find all the remotes here.
You need me to explain them?
[HESITANTLY] Um
Uh, no, that's fine.
- [NINA] Okay, bye.
- The dog has a severe nut allergy.
[FIRMLY] She mustn't eat anything
that isn't her prescription dog food.
Or there is, uh,
doggie doo-doo everywhere.
[NINA] We keep the dog food in here.
- [CUPCAKE BARKS]
- Oh.
[DOOR CLICKS]
- So please keep the door closed.
- Door closed. Right.
And the chip in her collar
operates the dog flap in there.
Ah yes.
Because if she can't get out
There's doggie doo-doo everywhere.
It's a recurring theme, yeah. Hey!
- [CUPCAKE BARKS]
- Who doo-doos everywhere, eh?
Cupcake, come say bye to Mummy! Yeah?
Good girl, good girl. Christian, bags!
- Yeah, going now.
- [METALLIC CLANGING]
- Woah! Careful!
- Oh.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
I paid £80,000 for that.
It turned out to be a Kandinsky.
It's worth a lot of money.
But not as much as this.
[MAGICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [TREVOR] Golly.
- [CHRISTIAN CHUCKLES]
You know what it is?
It's an E-type Jaguar, isn't it?
The first E-type Jaguar ever made.
- Huh! Amazing.
- What do you think she's worth?
Oh, must be thousands.
Two million pounds.
O kay.
- Hello?
- Yeah, okay.
All the locks and the alarm
are operated by two simple codes.
I used the names of
famous naval battles to make it easy.
Uh, so to open, uh,
it's the Battle of Frisverhelwilen.
- [SOFT MUTTERING]
- [ALARM BEEPS]
1748.
- Yup. So, okay, there we go.
- Okay.
[DOOR OPENS]
Okay.
And to arm the system, even easier,
uh, it's the Battle of Bulhornbører.
- [SOFT MUTTERING]
- [NINA] 1513.
Oh right, yes.
I think perhaps I should uh
Oh no, don't worry.
It's all in the manual.
Oh, the manual. Yes, of course.
Yeah, if the panel locks down
for any reason,
Nina did have them add a voice override.
Yes, but that only works with my voice,
[IMPATIENTLY] and he won't need it
anyway because it's all in the manual.
Right, yes. Okay.
The library is strictly
out of bounds to the dog.
There's an illuminated manuscript
in there that's worth millions.
[TREVOR] Okay.
It's a no-go zone for
Cupcake, as is our bedroom upstairs.
Uh, you are in the maid's room,
far side down the corridor.
- Okay.
- Uh any questions?
- Uhm
- Good.
[LUGGAGE CLATTERING]
You have done this
work before, haven't you?
Uh, no, actually. I'm new to the company.
[LAUGHS]
You've never done house-sitting before?
No not as such.
But please don't worry,
I have a house too.
Well, I used to have a house.
So all this is very familiar territory.
[NINA] Hm.
Oh here, let me I'll get that for you.
[THUD AND TOYS SQEAKING]
- Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Let me
- [CAR HONKS]
- [CHRISTIAN] Honey, we have to go!
- [TREVOR] Oh dear, I'll just
[NINA] Orlando used to call us every day.

- Absolutely. My pleasure.
