00:00:00Millie, please take a seat.
00:00:05Thank you, Alice.
00:00:09Millie, you've been invited to a party at the Grange.
00:00:13Are you pleased?
00:00:15Oh, I'm pleased to be invited, Mum.
00:00:18What sort of party is it?
00:00:20Mrs Crane-Boulder's half-brother, Mr Bernard Thompson, is coming of age.
00:00:24So they're to give a party for him.
00:00:26Next evening, they're to give a party for the servants, and you're invited to that.
00:00:30Mr Crane-Boulder particularly asked that you should be invited.
00:00:33I understand you met him in the park?
00:00:36Yes, we met.
00:00:39So I shall say, shall I, that you will go.
00:00:43Thank you. I would be obliged, Mum.
00:00:49That's it.
00:00:50I tell you, I wouldn't mind being on the Crane-Boulder staff myself
00:00:54if I could meet this one at the party.
00:00:56Did you ever see anything so lovely?
00:00:58Ah, Chinese Charlie's wife did a good job of that frock.
00:01:02I never thought that material would turn out so well.
00:01:05But look who's wearing it, Aggie.
00:01:07Oh, that frock would make anybody look good.
00:01:09And it cost us half a dollar, what with the steaming and the pressing.
00:01:13So don't you muck it up, lass.
00:01:15Allow me, Mum.
00:01:16I'd lift you down, Mum, if it wasn't for me mucky proletarian hands, Mum.
00:01:21Your what?
00:01:22Oh, it comes out with half a dozen of them a day.
00:01:24It's enough to put me off me food, I can tell you.
00:01:26It doesn't seem to, though.
00:01:28Cheek.
00:01:28Oh, thank you, Mrs. Aggie.
00:01:31Hey, God in heaven.
00:01:32It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my whole life.
00:01:36What next? What next?
00:01:40You can't thank her, can you?
00:01:43Right, well, that's her way.
00:01:44If she'd stayed, she'd have been blubbing.
00:01:46Don't you realise, my dear, that for her,
00:01:52you're the sun that rises
00:01:53and the moon that sets
00:01:55and all that goes on in between.
00:02:00That's nice.
00:02:01Why did you read that?
00:02:04Well, it came out of me own thinking.
00:02:08What does proletarian mean, anyway?
00:02:12It's us.
00:02:13It's a toughs name describing the work and classes,
00:02:15whether they're working or not.
00:02:18So you're enjoying evening school, then?
00:02:20Aye.
00:02:21Teacher likes me because I speak up
00:02:23and ask him awkward questions.
00:02:25I'm teacher's pet-like.
00:02:27See you.
00:02:45I'd get out of that frock
00:02:55if you do want the hem soiled.
00:02:57As you've likely noticed, lass,
00:02:58this floor isn't as clean as it used to be
00:03:00when you were here.
00:03:01Well, I'll clean it, shall I?
00:03:02You're not.
00:03:03It suits me.
00:03:05Where's his lordship gone?
00:03:07Oh, his Sunday dander
00:03:09around the district.
00:03:10It's surprising what you're learning.
00:03:13He's getting too big for his boots, him.
00:03:15Well, I'd have thought
00:03:16you'd been proud of him
00:03:17going to evening school.
00:03:19Education's all right for them that needs it.
00:03:21Otherwise, it just stirs the mind.
00:03:23Don't you believe in changing yourself?
00:03:25No.
00:03:25Change never did anybody any good.
00:03:28God sets you in a space.
00:03:29He gives you the work to do
00:03:30and you do it the best you can.
00:03:33You don't like people getting on, then?
00:03:35Getting out of the rut?
00:03:35Not if they're meant for the rut, no.
00:03:38Now go and change that frock.
00:03:41Mrs Agnes Winkowski,
00:03:42you are a mystery to me.
00:03:44Oh, is that what I am, is it?
00:03:46Yes, you are.
00:03:47And if I didn't love you for anything else,
00:03:49I would love you for giving me
00:03:51this beautiful dress.
00:03:58Oh, I've promised to show the children.
00:04:00May I?
00:04:01Yes, yes.
00:04:02Plenty of time.
00:04:03The boy's still sorting out the trap.
00:04:05That dress, my dear.
00:04:10You don't think
00:04:10it's going to cause quite a stir?
00:04:13Good.
00:04:14They need stirring up that lot.
00:04:29Oh, that's lovely, that is.
00:04:35Oh, my God, look at him.
00:04:44Be quiet.
00:04:46I'm sorry, I thought it was a party.
00:04:49Of course it's a party.
00:04:51What do you think it is?
00:04:53But we know how to dress for a party.
00:04:57I should have been told.
00:04:58It's a Quentin's servant girl who goes dancing in the woods.
00:05:13Why is she rigged out like that?
00:05:15I dare you to ask her to dance, Davy.
00:05:17Of what?
00:05:18Me, Mama?
00:05:19I don't know what you mean.
00:05:21Oh, Bernard.
00:05:21Do your stuff and let them get on with it.
00:05:24Thank you all very much for your kindness to me
00:05:26and for your good wishes.
00:05:28And particularly for the very fine saddle you presented to me.
00:05:31I'm not much good at giving speeches, matter of fact,
00:05:34so I suggest the musicians start up and we dance.
00:05:37Well done, Bernardi.
00:05:45A speech of dazzling brilliance, as usual.
00:05:57Why aren't you dancing?
00:05:59What's your name?
00:06:01Millicent Forrester, sir.
00:06:03Millicent Forrester.
00:06:04Yes, I think it suits you.
00:06:05Will you dance?
00:06:06Who taught you to dance?
00:06:21I've never been taught, sir.
00:06:23I've watched sometimes.
00:06:25That is all.
00:06:26That's life's a feather.
00:06:27I cannot believe you've never danced before.
00:06:29Oh, I have danced, sir, but never in this way.
00:06:32What do you dance, then?
00:06:33There's a boy in my charge plays a penny whistle,
00:06:35and I dance to that, in my own way.
00:06:38Oh, have me taught one proper dance.
00:06:40What's that?
00:06:41The waltz?
00:06:43No.
00:06:44The Irish jig.
00:06:45Would you do me the honor, my dear?
00:06:54Ladies and gentlemen, a Scottish reel.
00:06:57The Irish jig.
00:06:57The Irish jig.
00:06:57The Irish jig.
00:06:59The Irish jig.
00:07:05Could you do me the honor, my dear?
00:07:08Ladies and gentlemen, a Scottish reel.
00:07:41I think I've seen enough of the servants' terpsichorian efforts for one evening.
00:07:49I'm off.
00:07:51There's a magnum of burgundy in the library.
00:07:53Shame not to finish it.
00:07:55Come on, boys.
00:07:56Yes, ma'am.
00:08:11I've got a surprise in store for you boys.
00:08:22The mistress wants to see you.
00:08:24You'd bring her as well.
00:08:25It's the last door on the left.
00:08:41Don't go in until you're told.
00:08:43Come in.
00:09:05Come here.
00:09:07I said, come here.
00:09:19What do you want with me, Mum?
00:09:21You were made to tempt men.
00:09:23I'm going to see that you're not disappointed.
00:09:26Go on, Davy.
00:09:26Get her.
00:09:28Get her.
00:09:29Get her.
00:09:29You shut up.
00:09:30No.
00:09:30No.
00:09:31Go on, Davy.
00:09:32Get her.
00:09:33Show all your whore how it's done.
00:09:34Get her.
00:09:37Strip her.
00:09:38Strip her.
00:09:39Get her.
00:09:40No.
00:09:40No.
00:09:41No.
00:09:42No.
00:09:44No.
00:09:45No.
00:09:46What?
00:09:48You filthy, drunken slut.
00:09:51Get her.
00:09:52Get off, you cringing little puppy.
00:09:55Oh, you scum.
00:09:57Get out.
00:09:58Get out of here.
00:10:00You scum.
00:10:01Are you all right?
00:10:03Are you hurt?
00:10:03Are you all right?
00:10:04Yes.
00:10:05I'll take her back to the Quintons.
00:10:07You've done enough harm this evening.
00:10:09I?
00:10:09It was your dancing with her that began this.
00:10:11You danced with none of the other maids in that way.
00:10:13Leave her to me, please.
00:10:16I'll take you home.
00:10:24What's going on?
00:10:26Oh, my God.
00:10:27What's happened to you, lass?
00:10:28Who the hell are you?
00:10:29Please.
00:10:29She needs to lie down.
00:10:31It's all right, Ben.
00:10:32Ben, this is Mr. Thompson.
00:10:33He's been very kind.
00:10:35You'd better come in, sir.
00:10:43I'm deeply sorry.
00:10:44But I thought it best to bring her straight here, to her home.
00:10:48We are grateful to you, sir.
00:10:53I've gone home, Mrs. Zaggy.
00:10:56I'm home.
00:10:58There, there, love.
00:10:59And that would be a penny-eatly for the lot and chip at the price.
00:11:11It's about time.
00:11:12Some of these good ladies here have forded rivers, climbed mountains, and some of them
00:11:17have even walked here.
00:11:18All for the sake of your custard pies.
00:11:22You'll be late for school, Mr. Smith-Jones-O'Robinton.
00:11:25Aye, we will.
00:11:26All three of us.
00:11:28It's going to be a really good trade, you know.
00:11:30You coming back's the best thing that ever happened to Aggie's yard.
00:11:34I don't like you working so hard, mind.
00:11:37I like working hard.
00:11:39Right, there's Sir back again.
00:11:54Now, you're doing very well, lads.
00:11:56Now then, how does it go?
00:11:57Jamie, you kick us off.
00:11:59How does it go, then?
00:12:01Mr. D, Mr. I, Mr. F, F, I, Mr. C, Mr. U, Mr. L, T, Y.
00:12:10Difficulty.
00:12:11Now, that wasn't very difficult, was it?
00:12:13Top marks.
00:12:15Carry on with your reading.
00:12:16I want a quick word with Mr. Smith here.
00:12:22Teaching?
00:12:23Me?
00:12:24I'm not even educated myself.
00:12:26I've been teaching for 25 years.
00:12:28I'll tell you something.
00:12:29You're a natural.
00:12:31I'm not talking about stopping your own learning,
00:12:34but you could take on some of the youngsters and I'd pay you.
00:12:37Pay me?
00:12:37Not a fortune.
00:12:39But something.
00:12:40Where do you see it?
00:12:41What do you think I'd say?
00:12:52Hello?
00:12:53Mr. Thompson.
00:12:54I'd have come sooner, but I was wondering how Miss Forrester was.
00:13:01Well enough, you know.
00:13:03She's a glutton for work, but she's well enough.
00:13:05Come to see her, have you?
00:13:06Yes.
00:13:07I'd like to.
00:13:08I'm sure she'll be pleased to see you.
00:13:11Look what the cat's dropped in.
00:13:25Mr. Thompson.
00:13:26Mr. Thompson.
00:13:28I'm glad you remember me, Miss Forrester.
00:13:30Mrs. Winkowski tells me you're working too hard.
00:13:34She is.
00:13:35Look at her.
00:13:36Saturday's always a bit heavy, that's all.
00:13:38Mrs. Winkowski tells me it was your idea.
00:13:40Yes, it was.
00:13:41Yes, it was.
00:13:43And you're running your own business?
00:13:45I suppose I am.
00:13:48I am too.
00:13:50So, I wonder, now that you're a businesswoman in your own right,
00:13:55whether you feel you might be allowed to come out?
00:13:59If invited, I think I might.
00:14:02I'd have to ask Mrs. Aggie.
00:14:04Oh, hello there.
00:14:06Ben, this is Mr. Thompson, who was so kind to me on the night of the party.
00:14:10Aye.
00:14:11I remember.
00:14:12I was just passing on my way to visit friends,
00:14:14so I called in to see how this young lady was getting on.
00:14:16Oh, aye.
00:14:17Friends of yours live round here, do they?
00:14:19Ben?
00:14:20Not far away, as a matter of fact.
00:14:23Surprising.
00:14:24How far away?
00:14:26Where was you just passing to?
00:14:28I know enough about the disparity between one end of this town and another.
00:14:31I doubt it.
00:14:32I know enough.
00:14:33I'm part owner at the Crane Balder Works.
00:14:35Now, I wonder if you've heard of the changes I've made,
00:14:37work practices and so on.
00:14:38And what's the age of your youngest employee?
00:14:41Eight?
00:14:42Nine?
00:14:43Ben!
00:14:43Aye, Millie.
00:14:44Do you want me to stop me tongue?
00:14:46You should know better than that.
00:14:48It was you that pressed me into educating myself.
00:14:51Well, once you start thinking, there's no more rest for you.
00:14:55Will you do me the kindness to walk with me to the gate?
00:15:01I'm sorry.
00:15:02I must apologise.
00:15:03There's no need.
00:15:04All that he said has the force of truth.
00:15:06Though I think, I hope he mistook the target.
00:15:08I am trying in my way to do something about it.
00:15:10May I come and visit you again?
00:15:15Yes, I'd like that.
00:15:17You make me very happy.
00:15:18Until the next time, then.
00:15:20Come on, lad.
00:15:26What's the matter?
00:15:28Nothing.
00:15:30How could you?
00:15:31If we didn't almost live in the same house, I'd never speak to you again.
00:15:35We all hate the way things are, and he's one of the people who couldn't do something about it.
00:15:39That means to...
00:15:40What was he doing here?
00:15:42He's no good.
00:15:43None of his type are.
00:15:44Don't be so stupid.
00:15:50Ben's got it all wrong.
00:15:53Mr Thompson's a gentleman.
00:15:55He's kind.
00:15:56Do you like Mr Thompson?
00:15:58I mean, a bit more than like him.
00:16:01Yes, I do.
00:16:05Well, then.
00:16:07We'll just have to see what happens.
00:16:10But don't be hard on Ben.
00:16:11He can't help it.
00:16:13He's jealous.
00:16:14Ben?
00:16:15Jealous?
00:16:16Well, he is a man, isn't he?
00:16:17His back might be crooked, but he is a man for all that.
00:16:22But Ben is...
00:16:24He's like my brother.
00:16:25Stand in front of a mirror and take a good look at yourself.
00:16:32No man will ever think of himself as a brother to you.
00:16:40Make sure you look after her now.
00:16:41Don't worry, Mrs Winkowski.
00:16:43She's in safe hands.
00:16:46Drive on, Corbett.
00:16:47Walk on now.
00:16:55Millie, you look at me.
00:17:25You must meet my aunt.
00:17:26She lives so close.
00:17:28She lives with a companion.
00:17:30A servant of hers, because she needs looking after.
00:17:32Why?
00:17:33Is she ill?
00:17:34No, no.
00:17:35She's just a little troubled in her mind, that's all.
00:17:37Mostly it's unnoticeable.
00:17:38She just seems over-cheerful.
00:17:40But she's very fond of company, so I visit her when I can.
00:17:43She'd love to meet you, I know.
00:17:45Good.
00:17:46That's settled then.
00:17:48Bye-bye.
00:17:55Oh, Mrs Aggie.
00:18:03Well?
00:18:04We had such a lovely time.
00:18:06And Bernard's invited me to meet his Aunt Chrissie.
00:18:08Well, he's obviously taken you in, then.
00:18:11With his fancy talk.
00:18:12I've had just about enough of this.
00:18:23What?
00:18:24Listen to me.
00:18:24No!
00:18:26I'm going to have me say.
00:18:28You've got big ideas for her, haven't you?
00:18:30You think that bloke's on the square?
00:18:32You think he's going to say,
00:18:33may I ask for the hand of your ward?
00:18:35In marriage, that is, Mrs Winkowski.
00:18:37You don't reckon he's just thinking of taking her behind the bushes, do you?
00:18:40Ben Smith.
00:18:42Shut your stupid, jealous mouth.
00:18:44Get yourself out of here before I level something at you.
00:18:47You're going to be sorry for this.
00:18:48Aye, I might be.
00:18:49But there's two people that'll be sorrier.
00:18:54You be your bitch, Ben Smith.
00:18:56We've got to let her go.
00:18:57I'm willing, by God, and she's brought me the only bit of happiness I've ever had.
00:19:01But I'm willing, and I'm going to make sure you are too.
00:19:03Because where she's concerned, your head's not recognised.
00:19:06Straighten that crooked back of yours.
00:19:08I know what's going on in your mind.
00:19:09Stop, Maggie, you're most half-bloomber in sometimes.
00:19:11I know what all this education business is for.
00:19:14No amount of education.
00:19:15Straighten that crooked back.
00:19:36I'm so excited you're here at last.
00:19:39I've always imagined you being here.
00:19:41I mean, ever since I got the place.
00:19:43Come and meet Aunt Chrissy.
00:19:44Oh, Bernard, it's lovely.
00:19:46Oh, my dear, my dear.
00:20:05I didn't hear.
00:20:07I thought I didn't hear the carriage.
00:20:09I wasn't sure.
00:20:10Oh, how nice it is to see you, my dear boy.
00:20:15Is this the young lady?
00:20:16Yes, Aunt Chrissy.
00:20:17This is the young lady.
00:20:19Tea is all ready.
00:20:20It's been ready this hour.
00:20:22I love my tea.
00:20:24Don't you like tea, Miss...
00:20:26Miss...
00:20:26Millicent.
00:20:27Millie, Aunt Chrissy.
00:20:28Millie!
00:20:29Oh, what a sweet name.
00:20:31Millie, of course you told me.
00:20:33Millie.
00:20:34Do you like tea?
00:20:35Now, sit yourself down, Aunt Chrissy, and stop your chattering.
00:20:38Otherwise, you'll frighten Millie away.
00:20:40Will I?
00:20:40Oh, I won't, will I?
00:20:42Will I?
00:20:43No, I'm sure you won't.
00:20:45Why don't you call for tea, Aunt Chrissy, and I'll show Millie around the house.
00:20:48Yes, yes, that is what I'll do.
00:20:54Oh.
00:20:55Oh, my God.
00:21:25It's so beautiful.
00:21:38What are you thinking?
00:21:42I was thinking that.
00:21:45I have for this afternoon, stepped into Fairyland.
00:21:50You could live in Fairyland, if you so wish.
00:21:55It's a happy house.
00:21:57I know.
00:21:58I can feel it.
00:22:01What luck I've had.
00:22:03It concerns me sometimes.
00:22:05People can be very cruel, you know.
00:22:07For years, my family shut Aunt Chrissy away.
00:22:10There's no harm in Aunt Chrissy at all.
00:22:12She's just forgetful.
00:22:14Not very good at looking after herself.
00:22:17So when I came into my money, a plan began to form in my mind.
00:22:23Well, that's where she got to.
00:22:24Aunt Chrissy probably forgot what it was she went out to do before she even left the room.
00:22:30Millie.
00:22:31Millie, I know how happy I will be with you.
00:22:34I love you very much.
00:22:35You know that, don't you?
00:22:36Yes, I do.
00:22:40I love you.
00:22:45You do?
00:22:46Really?
00:22:47You love me?
00:22:49Yes.
00:22:51Ever since I saw you again, I realised.
00:22:55I realised that when you danced with me and carried me home,
00:23:01I don't know whether or not.
00:23:02Millie.
00:23:12Millie.
00:23:14I'm the happiest man alive.
00:23:17I love you.
00:23:19I love you.
00:23:24Oh, I'm so happy.
00:23:25I feel like I've burst.
00:23:26And what are you so happy about?
00:23:28You know.
00:23:30He's spoken last night.
00:23:31I'm so glad for you.
00:23:33We are so in love.
00:23:35He says he wants to come and see you.
00:23:37Mrs. Agui, you should see that house.
00:23:40It's a paradise.
00:23:40It's perfect.
00:23:41And he's had it all done out with me in mind.
00:23:43Oh, I wish we had some music.
00:23:45Piano, anything.
00:23:46I want to dance.
00:23:47Well, dance yourself upstairs and change your togs,
00:23:49and then you can come down and tell me about it.
00:23:51It won't be a minute.
00:23:52It's done, she's getting married.
00:24:02You've got to face it.
00:24:05Where are you going?
00:24:07Oh, you're not going to get sizzled again, are you?
00:24:09I wouldn't waste me money.
00:24:10You're not going to be a guest.
00:24:27Oh, my God.
00:24:57No, I'll go.
00:25:11My eyes are getting tired anyway.
00:25:27Millicent Forrester?
00:25:38Yes?
00:25:39That's your name, isn't it?
00:25:42Yes, that's my name.
00:25:44My name's Forrester O'Neill.
00:25:48Reginald Forrester.
00:25:49I'm your father.
00:25:55No.
00:25:56No, my father's dead.
00:25:59Recognised you as soon as I saw you.
00:26:03You're the spitting image of your mother.
00:26:09Oh, Ben.
00:26:10What's wrong, Mill?
00:26:11There's a man outside that says he's my father.
00:26:13It can't be.
00:26:17My father's dead.
00:26:21Stay here.
00:26:28She says you're her father.
00:26:30I am.
00:26:30What's your game?
00:26:36I've come for me daughter, Millicent Forrester.
00:26:39Oh, no.
00:26:40Nobody's got any claim on Millie.
00:26:42I don't care who you are.
00:26:43Let him in.
00:26:45It's got to be tackled.
00:26:47Best done right now.
00:26:49It isn't my fault that the truth's been kept from you.
00:26:53Your mother should have told you about it.
00:26:56Heard yesterday that you did herself in.
00:27:00Well, I'm not surprised.
00:27:02Nervy.
00:27:03Always was.
00:27:05Do you think I could ask you for a drink of something?
00:27:07Get him one.
00:27:12Come here.
00:27:15I'm not gonna bite you.
00:27:19I think it's time we got to know each other, don't you?
00:27:25Why have you come back now?
00:27:28Why has it been so long where have you been?
00:27:30I can guess where he's been.
00:27:32Aye, aye, I've been in jail
00:27:34for defending her mother against a fella.
00:27:36Twelve years for self-defence.
00:27:39Damn near swung for it.
00:27:41He died, did he?
00:27:44Not at the time.
00:27:46Later.
00:27:46They brought in self-defence, as I say.
00:27:50Good behaviour got us out early
00:27:51from where I should never have been.
00:27:53So you can see I come as soon as I could.
00:27:56Not much of a welcome I'm getting, is it?
00:27:58What do you expect?
00:27:59At least she could give us a civil word.
00:28:01I've got claims on her.
00:28:02She's mine.
00:28:03My God, mister.
00:28:05You want to get your ideas sorted out.
00:28:07You've no claim on her.
00:28:08She's my word.
00:28:09It was done by a legal man.
00:28:10I signed a paper
00:28:11and a friend who was a police sergeant
00:28:14was the witness.
00:28:14All I want
00:28:21is to get to know you, lass.
00:28:23We can get into who claims who after.
00:28:27I worked hard for you and your mother.
00:28:29I was a butler.
00:28:30I had prestige.
00:28:34Well.
00:28:37Well, perhaps I can get work again.
00:28:38Can you put us up for a few nights, missus?
00:28:45Just until I get meself sorted.
00:28:47No, I'm sorry.
00:28:48I can't.
00:28:53Here.
00:28:54That should get you birthed
00:28:55for a couple of nights.
00:29:03Have you seen her?
00:29:05Daughter.
00:29:08That man isn't my father.
00:29:16He's an imposter.
00:29:18I've dreamed of what he was like there
00:29:20for years and years.
00:29:22He was a gentleman.
00:29:24He had a lovely face.
00:29:26His manner was sweet and kind.
00:29:30He is your father.
00:29:32Whether you like it or not,
00:29:33there's nobody else.
00:29:34So I've got a prostitute for a mother
00:29:36and a murder of her father.
00:29:38Is that it?
00:29:39Look, that woman did what she could
00:29:42to keep you alive
00:29:43and don't you ever despise her.
00:29:45What do you think you're up to?
00:29:47That's the last thing she needs
00:29:48is some rough handling
00:29:49after meeting that individual.
00:29:54It's all right.
00:29:55So who do you like?
00:30:24Good evening, sir.
00:30:31It's so nice to see you again.
00:30:34Would you like to follow me upstairs?
00:30:35He can't take you.
00:30:37You'd have to change that bit of paper
00:30:38seat in your Aggies ward.
00:30:43The sergeant said he might try to.
00:30:55Don't worry about it.
00:31:09Oh, hell.
00:31:11Hello there.
00:31:13Off some place?
00:31:16I'm going to Sunday school.
00:31:18Oh, well then, that'll give me the chance
00:31:20to work with you, won't it?
00:31:21Or will it?
00:31:22You seem to have fallen on your feet.
00:31:24I'm the sort as always finds work.
00:31:27I work in a hotel now.
00:31:28Erm, kind of a hotel eating place.
00:31:32There's a concert in one of the halls
00:31:34this evening I saw advertised.
00:31:36How's it about coming along?
00:31:38She doesn't go out at night.
00:31:40From what I understand,
00:31:41she doesn't go out at all.
00:31:43You can't keep her tight up here for life.
00:31:45She's my daughter,
00:31:46and I say she should be out,
00:31:47seeing and being seen.
00:31:49What the hell do you mean by that?
00:31:50That's what you think, is it?
00:31:52You've got a nerve.
00:31:54All that stuff about defending her mother.
00:31:56You were with another woman.
00:31:58Another man's wife.
00:31:59It was her husband you had to defend yourself from,
00:32:01you poor devil.
00:32:02Her mother had nothing to do with it.
00:32:04And as for Millie,
00:32:06she'll go when she's good and ready to go.
00:32:08And the only tying up she's had
00:32:10is to protect her from the likes of you.
00:32:16I don't trust him.
00:32:18I don't want to see him.
00:32:20Can't we stop him coming here?
00:32:21No, I can't.
00:32:25He could go to see a solicitor.
00:32:28I won't go with him, whatever happens.
00:32:30You won't have to, love.
00:32:32He's going to be too late, whatever he does.
00:32:35Because there's Mr. Bernard Thompson
00:32:36to consider now, isn't there?
00:32:38When did he see he come?
00:32:40This week, if you meant it.
00:32:42He meant it?
00:32:43Take it from me.
00:32:45He's a nice young man.
00:32:47It was a young man's passion, I saw.
00:32:49He meant it.
00:32:55Here, dearie.
00:32:57Left.
00:32:57I said...
00:32:58Hello, cousin.
00:33:09Whiskey.
00:33:11Haven't seen you for a while.
00:33:12I've been learning to be a bit of a teacher now.
00:33:14So you finally took me on like you threatened.
00:33:16Aye, he took me on.
00:33:18Why's it down in the mouth then?
00:33:19Nothing.
00:33:19Listen.
00:33:27Listen.
00:33:29I've met your mother's dad.
00:33:31You want to watch out for him?
00:33:32Slim's took him on.
00:33:34He's working for Slim now.
00:33:35Boswell?
00:33:36Who else?
00:33:37I'm not on the streets anymore.
00:33:39I'm minding a shop for him.
00:33:41He's up to something.
00:33:41I just thought you should know.
00:33:47Come on.
00:34:03What's going on?
00:34:05You tell me.
00:34:07Someone's been stealing from us.
00:34:09It's nothing to do with me.
00:34:11You're supposed to be in charge.
00:34:13You tell me who it is to do with.
00:34:15Or you're back out in the streets.
00:34:22You're not the first and you won't be the last to be lifted out of the lower end.
00:34:27Maybe.
00:34:30Well, what'll happen to you, Mrs. Eggie, if I go?
00:34:32Oh, I'll get back into the old scene one way or another.
00:34:37Don't you worry about me.
00:34:39Anyway, Ben'll help if I need anything.
00:34:44He'll stick by me.
00:34:46Even if he has ignored us, oldie.
00:34:55What's he all togged up for?
00:34:58He's walking, funny enough.
00:35:12What's all this?
00:35:13New boots.
00:35:15I had them made for me.
00:35:16Made for you?
00:35:17Aye.
00:35:18One hill's higher than the other to help me walking.
00:35:20I've noticed.
00:35:21Made for you.
00:35:23Aye, made for me.
00:35:24If I'm to be a teacher, and I am, then I must aspire to it.
00:35:29Teaching?
00:35:30You?
00:35:30Aye, teaching me.
00:35:33I've not wasted me time all these years, Mrs. Winkowski.
00:35:35Me body's been living in this warren, but me head's been somewhere else.
00:35:40It's some years now since I learned that a noun is the name of anything.
00:35:43My God.
00:35:45I'm pleased, Ben.
00:35:46Are you?
00:35:50You'll see.
00:35:51I'll get there.
00:35:54And on me own.
00:35:57I'll do it on me own.
00:36:00Well, that's my life all set ahead.
00:36:02Now we both know where we're going, don't we?
00:36:06Just hope it turns out as we intended, eh, Millie?
00:36:16Walk on.
00:36:16I shouldn't be going.
00:36:31You're not well.
00:36:33No, no, lass.
00:36:34Now you go and enjoy yourself.
00:36:38Well, would you let him in just for a minute?
00:36:39I think he wants to talk to you about something.
00:36:43Oh, I'm sorry, but I can hardly get me breath.
00:36:49All right.
00:36:50I'll tell him to speak to you next time, shall I?
00:36:53Well, it's you he wants to be doing the talking to.
00:36:55Oh, besides, this place must stink and make comfort, all right?
00:37:05Now, Ben's to be away by half past five.
00:37:10So you come back around then.
00:37:13And I wouldn't mind seeing a ring on your finger when you do.
00:37:18Your escort is in the yard.
00:37:21I'll be back by five.
00:37:23Is anything wrong?
00:37:37No, but Mrs. Zagay's a dreadful cold.
00:37:40She'll hope she'll excuse her.
00:37:41Of course.
00:37:42And how are you?
00:37:44Very well.
00:37:46Except that I've been lonely.
00:37:48And longing for today to come.
00:37:50No more than me.
00:37:51No more than me.
00:37:53Well, well, daughter...
00:37:58Oh, not him.
00:38:00Not now.
00:38:01I see you're ready for out.
00:38:03And who's your friend?
00:38:05My name's Bernard Thompson.
00:38:06And where are you taking my daughter?
00:38:08That is between me and Mr. Thompson, sir.
00:38:11I see.
00:38:12Sir, is it?
00:38:14After ten years, I come back and it's sir, is it?
00:38:17What a welcome.
00:38:19You're flesh and blood.
00:38:20Hey, you treat me like a bad smell.
00:38:23Anyway, I've got a present for you.
00:38:26A ring for the lady.
00:38:33Rings on her fingers.
00:38:34Fingers.
00:38:35I wait.
00:38:40Here, now, look at that.
00:38:43And that's no cheap ket, I'm telling you.
00:38:45Now, you always remember, I give it you.
00:38:48Your father.
00:38:49Your own flesh and blood.
00:38:50What do you say?
00:38:57Thank you, sir.
00:39:00Thank you, sir.
00:39:04Well, seeing I'm not wanted, I'll be on me way.
00:39:09Next time, daughter.
00:39:10You'll welcome me one day, you hard young bugger.
00:39:18Sorry.
00:39:19So sorry.
00:39:21It's all right.
00:39:22It's all right.
00:39:27Oh, lad.
00:39:29We've got to get her married.
00:39:32Unless we do, she'll not be safe.
00:39:34God knows what would happen if them legal snots let her father have her.
00:39:41And if he is in with Boswell,
00:39:43well, they're going to have the money to take her to court.
00:39:47And there's Mr. Bernard Thompson.
00:39:50He's ready and waiting.
00:39:52I'll tell you something.
00:39:54If a fella in Thompson's class took a lass out without her having what is called a chaperone,
00:40:00the lass would lose a good name.
00:40:01In fact, from what I hear and read,
00:40:04any bloke who had respect for a lass wouldn't risk it.
00:40:07Now, think on that, Aggie.
00:40:10Aye.
00:40:12Think on it.
00:40:19Are you sure you don't want the rug round you?
00:40:22Surprisingly cold.
00:40:23Very hardy, though.
00:40:26In fact, I'm quite tough.
00:40:31Are you ready for tea?
00:40:33I love my tea, don't you?
00:40:36Rose has made some lovely little tarts.
00:40:38Strawberry can serve.
00:40:40I believe there are biscuits from yesterday which will be quite satisfactory still.
00:40:45I believe there are, but I couldn't be sure.
00:40:47Well, Aunt Chrissie, why don't you run to the kitchen and have the tea brought through?
00:40:51We've had a chilly drive.
00:40:52Oh, yes.
00:40:54Yes, of course, Bernard.
00:40:55God almighty, Millie Forrester.
00:41:11I can't tell you.
00:41:12If I could tell you.
00:41:13I know.
00:41:15I know.
00:41:15What a mystery you are.
00:41:18I keep asking myself how you are as you are coming from that place.
00:41:22It's as if everything else gave up its chance of beauty for you.
00:41:27But...
00:41:27Yes?
00:41:29You take me as I am, do you?
00:41:32You accept me as I am.
00:41:33Yes, Millie, I do.
00:41:37And I always will.
00:41:39It will be such a lovely tea.
00:41:41There were biscuits after all.
00:41:47Have you ever been abroad?
00:41:49No, I haven't.
00:41:51Oh, my dear Millie, what pleasures await you.
00:41:54Paris, Vienna, Rome.
00:41:56Imagine if we could travel to those places together for months on end.
00:42:00But what does it matter?
00:42:02We have our secret seven-roomed castle,
00:42:05to which I can escape from the tired old world to you.
00:42:13As often as I possibly can, Millie.
00:42:16Every minute I can, I shall spend with you.
00:42:19If only things were different and we could be married.
00:42:22But you understand.
00:42:24And we'll have the next best thing.
00:42:27A freer thing, in a way.
00:42:30What's the matter?
00:42:32What is it?
00:42:35Oh, no.
00:42:36No, you must have understood.
00:42:38Please, don't look at me like that.
00:42:41I'm promised.
00:42:42I can't help myself.
00:42:42It's family.
00:42:43The shares in the mine from my godfather.
00:42:46I'm to marry his niece.
00:42:49Millie, please.
00:42:50You must have realised.
00:42:53I realise I've been a bloody fool.
00:42:56Oh, I should have known.
00:42:58Millie, if I'd had any idea, if I'd thought...
00:43:01My mother hanged herself because she was used.
00:43:05I love you.
00:43:06And I ask myself, what's the difference?
00:43:09I'll never be a man's mistress.
00:43:12Never.
00:43:12Never.
00:43:14Millie, please.
00:43:15I love you.
00:43:16Tell that to the woman you mean to marry.

00:58:18Mrs. Aggie! Mrs. Aggie!
00:58:24Millie! Oh, thank God you're safe.
00:58:26What's happened to him?
00:58:27He's badly hurt.
00:58:28Quick, get him on the couch.
00:58:33Oh, lad.
00:58:34Oh, my God.
00:58:36I'm going to fetch the doctor.
00:58:38Lock the door, good and proper.
00:58:40I will.
00:58:48Oh, my God.
00:59:11Doctor.
00:59:14The lad will be all right, won't he?
00:59:16He's strong.
00:59:17He should be.
00:59:19Just at this moment, that's not good enough for me.
00:59:22I must know.
00:59:24I can't tell you.
00:59:25I've done all I can.
00:59:26The wound's as clean as I can make it.
00:59:28But I won't predict the outcome.
00:59:33Aye.
00:59:34Oh, lass.
00:59:52I'll have to go to bed.
00:59:54I'm worn out.
00:59:54I'm worn out.
00:59:56Can you manage?
00:59:58I'll be all right.
01:00:00You get some sleep.
01:00:03I'll only take an hour or so.
01:00:05I'll be there.
01:00:25Are you there?
01:00:29I guess Ben, I'm here.
01:00:33I feel rotten, Mill.
01:00:45You've got a fever, Ben.
01:00:47You'll go soon.
01:00:48Aye.
01:00:50When most fevers go, they take you with them.
01:00:54Ben, please.
01:00:56Don't talk like that.
01:00:59Don't talk.
01:01:01Save your strength.
01:01:02I don't feel I've any strength left.
01:01:10I don't know about this, Mill.
01:01:17It's frightening me.
01:01:24Please.
01:01:26I can't bear it.
01:01:29I couldn't...
01:01:30I couldn't go on without you.
01:01:35Please don't leave me.
01:01:38Please.
01:01:40So you have to get better because I need you.
01:01:44I always will.
01:01:46Well, there are good moments in everyone's life.
01:01:53Now, Rangel, this is mine.
01:01:58But if I don't get better...
01:02:02You will, Ben.
01:02:03No.
01:02:05Listen, I'm going to say this.
01:02:06Say I don't.
01:02:07I want you to get out of this hole.
01:02:13I've been thinking about it.
01:02:15You could make a living from a bakery.
01:02:18Pratt's is retiring.
01:02:20Selling up.
01:02:20Ask Aggie.
01:02:21Shh.
01:02:25Don't sleep.
01:02:27Don't sleep.
01:02:28It's heart's beating as it should.
01:02:50The fever's gone.
01:02:51Thank God.
01:02:52Mrs. Walkman.
01:03:07It's Sergeant Fennec.
01:03:09Quick, cover him up.
01:03:10Hide the bandage.
01:03:11We'll see he's got my head cold right.
01:03:18Well, well.
01:03:20Sparing us your dinner hour now, are you?
01:03:22What have I done this time?
01:03:24Nothing that I'm aware of yet, Aggie.
01:03:26How are you?
01:03:27Oh, I'm not so well-headed chest, you know.
01:03:30Ben's as low as could be with his, and she looks as if she's gone down with it.
01:03:33Are you sure that you want to come in?
01:03:35I've got a bit of news for you.
01:03:36I don't know whether you'll think it's sad or otherwise.
01:03:40Oh, well, you'd better come in.
01:03:42Let's get it over with.
01:03:49You all right, son?
01:03:51I've been better.
01:03:52I'm sorry to have to tell you this, lass, but your father's dead.
01:04:01What happened?
01:04:03He was found in the river, but he'd been attacked beforehand, so it was as good as murder.
01:04:09I see.
01:04:10He wasn't the only one to be brought in.
01:04:13No?
01:04:13No.
01:04:15Boswell's been murdered.
01:04:17A knife in his heart.
01:04:18Well, good riddance, arse.
01:04:19So say many, I'm sure.
01:04:22Hard business.
01:04:23One of Boswell's known clients, a man named Crane Boulder, he was found that night, too.
01:04:29Half dead in an alley by his club.
01:04:31He'd been robbed.
01:04:33Even took his boots.
01:04:34Funny how these things go there.
01:04:40You all right, lass?
01:04:44Would you be if you'd just learnt your father had been done in?
01:04:47Aye.
01:04:48True.
01:04:49I'll bring your father's effects to you.
01:04:51No.
01:04:52Thank you, but I don't think I want anything of his.
01:04:55Understood.
01:04:56You take care of that cold, Ben.
01:04:58Make sure it doesn't get worse.
01:05:01Wouldn't want it spread into your shoulder or anything, would you?
01:05:05Aye.
01:05:17I'm thinking of leaving here.
01:05:19You?
01:05:20That would be the day.
01:05:22I mean it.
01:05:23I think it's about time I moved up in the world, don't you?
01:05:28See you, Aggie.
01:05:30Aye.
01:05:46Well, that was interesting.
01:05:49He knows, doesn't he?
01:05:50Of course he knows, but they couldn't get rid of Slim Boswell themselves, so I think they're
01:05:56well pleased that this one here did the job for them.
01:05:58You know you're beautiful, don't you?
01:06:12What?
01:06:14I still can't believe it, you know.
01:06:16Believe what?
01:06:17What do you mean?
01:06:20You might still come to your senses about me.
01:06:24Don't talk like that.
01:06:25What, you mean you don't want to come to your senses?
01:06:27I mean I'm in my senses.
01:06:29Stop it.
01:06:32Well, whoever you'd have married, I'd have been jealous as hell.
01:06:37But if somebody came along tomorrow, some working man, a real man or a gentleman, and you wanted
01:06:43to marry him to marry him, I'd try to behave myself and not stand in your way.
01:06:48What are you talking about?
01:06:51There's nobody like you.
01:06:53There'll never be anybody like you.
01:06:55Well, there'll never be two of me in this town, that's for certain.
01:06:58Oh, well, you stop playing yourself down.
01:07:01Because inside yourself, you're a big head.
01:07:05You think yourself just as good as anybody else, better than the next.
01:07:10Well, you do, don't you?
01:07:11So all I can say is, it's just as well I agree with you.
01:07:18If I could see Millie, it was a terrible misunderstanding.
01:07:36So you want to see Millie, do you?
01:07:40Oh, ah, you can see Millie, all right.
01:07:42If you can see your way to knocking me down and stepping over me, that's the only way you're
01:07:46going to see Millie.
01:07:47So, sir, get away from my door and never show your face again.
01:07:53Millie?
01:07:54I'll speak to him.
01:07:56Are you sure?
01:07:58Yes.
01:07:58Millie, I had to tell you how sorry I am.
01:08:08I put you in an impossible position.
01:08:10I didn't think of it from your side at all.
01:08:12I see that now.
01:08:14Millie, will you marry me?
01:08:16Will you?
01:08:18No.
01:08:20No.
01:08:22Ben guessed you would come back.
01:08:24He gave him my freedom to say yes to you.
01:08:27He did?
01:08:28Despite all he has done for me, he stood aside.
01:08:34I think what he meant was that I must never regret not accepting you.
01:08:40Then surely...
01:08:41I surprised myself, as a matter of fact.
01:08:43I found it the easiest thing in the world to say no to you just then.
01:08:49So you could say I'm glad that you came today, because otherwise I might not have been so
01:08:52clear about my feelings.
01:08:54Your feelings?
01:08:56My love for Ben.
01:08:57Ben, we're engaged.
01:09:01What?
01:09:02I'm engaged to be married to Ben.
01:09:04To that man?
01:09:06You can't be Millie.
01:09:07I am prepared to break off my engagement and marry you.
01:09:11I think so.
01:09:14Now you won't have the humiliation that I undoubtedly would bring to you, and you won't have to
01:09:18break off your engagement.
01:09:25Goodbye, Mr. Thompson.
01:09:26Ben, Smith, Jones or Robinson, you've never kissed me?
01:09:47No.
01:09:50I never have, have I?
01:10:00No.
01:10:00No.
01:10:01Now are you sure?
01:10:13Now, are you sure?
01:10:37You're the only two Bairns I've ever had or ever wanted.
01:10:43That's enough of that slop.
01:10:53I love you, Millie.
01:10:58Always have.
01:11:07I thought teachers were supposed to set an example.
01:11:09We are, Mrs Smith. We are.
01:11:13Hey, go and teach your brats and lead the work to the real workers.
01:11:17Aye. We'll see you later.
01:11:19Ha, ha, ha.
01:11:20Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:11:21Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ho.
01:11:27You should have done...
