00:00In 1882, meteorologists invented a new way to measure wind force, the Beaufort scale.
00:25It has 12 classes and ranges from total calm to hurricane force.
00:30The force of that storm takes away your vision and makes the rest of the world disappear.
00:39If I had known that a storm could feel like this, I would have been on the lookout for it earlier.
00:47So this is what it looks like when you're aware of my expectations, is it?
01:00If I were headmaster Lexington, I wouldn't be happy that the organizer of the gala party snuck off for a little time here.
01:08While in the hall, everything was kicking off.
01:10You better see what you can do.
01:17Okay.
01:17Come on.
01:33Come on.
01:34Come on.
01:39Come on.
01:40Come on.
01:44Come on.
01:46Time to go, straight away.
02:16Hi, hi. Good to see you.
02:20What a lovely house.
02:36Lydia?
02:46What a lovely house.
02:57Baby, we're not born to be free.
03:01Don't let nobody bring you to your knees.
03:05Wake up, stand up, don't let me love.
03:10Baby, we're not born to be free.
03:14I guess the fuse is blown.
03:20That's one way of saying it.
03:23I'm Ruby.
03:25Lickhamton at ten o'clock.
03:28Sir, it seems a problem with one of the cables.
03:34The system is not exactly that modern, is it?
03:36I thought that something truly awful was about to happen again.
03:39But the gala's a total success.
03:41The nations are coming in and the party guests still have all their clothes on.
03:45The original's been sent to the admissions office at Oxford and should be arriving there any day now.
03:50It'll be attached to your application.
03:52Thank you, sir.
03:55Miss Bell?
03:56Ruby Bell, who has attended our institution for two years now, is not only an outstanding candidate for Oxford University, she would be an asset!
04:12My goodness!
04:13Okay, a committee group photo.
04:15For the Hall of Fame.
04:16Okay.
04:17Okay.
04:18What you pulled today was the greatest affront I have ever had to endure from you two.
04:23You waited for the most important moment of the decade for Beaufort, only to pull off a twin-swapping stunt like something out of a god-awful film!
04:35At a time when everything has been done to make this happen, you seriously have the gall to show up there tonight to represent our company!
04:43You know that everything about that speech, every detail, was written and learned perfectly by me!
04:48That doesn't change the fact that everything you touch comes to a catastrophic end!
04:52You've always been like that, ever since you were little.
04:55You being number one, that was always everything.
04:57But you need discipline for that!
04:59And that's not something...
05:00Without me, there wouldn't have been a press conference.
05:02And you're lucky that as you went into the press room, I was able to pull you up,
05:06before the only good thing you've ever done for this family was destroyed by you.
05:13Which brings us to you.
05:15Our Casanova.
05:17Our special little self-styled Romeo.
05:21Who doesn't give a shit about family matters if they don't fit into his schedule.
05:24Who comes crawling on his knees about his damned lacrosse training issues.
05:28But doesn't fight for the company at an important time.
05:31When he has all of our trust to do what he promised he would!
05:35What is it?
05:45Is there something you want to say?
05:50Cheers!
05:51Cheers!
05:52To Ruby and to Oxford!
05:54Oxford!
05:55I can't believe you got your letter of recommendation from Lexington of all people.
06:02Yeah, I got mine from Miss Hsu. I really had to suck up to her.
06:05I'll be back.
06:06Oh, yeah, sure Ruby.
06:07Okay.
06:08See you later Ruby!
06:09Mr. Sutton.
06:10May I?
06:11Yeah.
06:12Of course.
06:13I'm pretty sure I've not thanked you.
06:15So thanks?
06:16To me?
06:17To me?
06:18I don't think I would have made it through the first week here if it weren't for you.
06:22You're a role model for me.
06:23An Oxford pupil from a town even smaller than mine.
06:24I'm pretty sure I've not thanked you.
06:25I'm pretty sure I've not thanked you.
06:28So thanks?
06:29To me?
06:30I don't think I would have made it through the first week here if it weren't for you.
06:35You're a role model for me.
06:36An Oxford pupil from a town even smaller than mine.
06:50Until I'm where I want to be I will continue to fight.
06:57Promise?
07:02let's go.
07:03Let's go.
07:05Sorry.
07:06If you need your head.
07:07You gotta do it.
07:11I need my head.
07:12Wait, alright?
07:13I need my head.
07:14Let's go.
07:15Let's go.
07:16Let's go.
07:17Let's go.
07:18Let's go.
07:19Let's go.
07:20Now James.
07:21Is this it?
07:22Let's go.
07:23Let's go.
07:24Now James.
07:25Is this it?
07:26Let's go.
07:30Do you only open your mouth for your new little girlfriend to stick your tongue down her throat?
07:47May I ask how you envision your future with this person?
07:51Do you want to move into some hovel in Gormsey and push your father-in-law around in his wheelchair every day?
08:00Have you been stalking her?
08:02This girl will never become more than a little gold-digging woman who'd sleep with someone over achieving something herself, and I will not allow this to happen.
08:10Shut your mouth!
08:14Come again.
08:22Say any more about Ruby Bell and you'll be-
08:29Do you mind allowing me to speak to my son?
08:39I've been able to do some research on Ruby Bell.
08:51I found out that her father has to rely on his wife's income because of his disability.
08:55I found out that her account is overdrawn every month because her shabby bakery doesn't make nearly enough.
09:01I found out that her little sister's committing copyright theft with some of the pictures on her blog, and that the house they live in, after 18 years, has been close to repossession.
09:13You will never speak to this girl again.
09:17You see, one call is enough, and that would see the end of her bursary.
09:21I can see to it, as well, that her family will soon have to depend on getting subsidized housing, and that Oxford no longer considers her a good student.
09:30I am able to destroy them without even thinking.
10:00For any second, what do you believe, is that she doesn't have to be able to repair with her or her family?
10:08I find that she can destroy her.
10:11Come on, she can do it!
10:12I know she must've been using her on her bank, and I can't wait to read her."
10:15She said, what do you think?
10:16She said, she said, I will be able to buy her for her.
10:21My wife, she said, how the truth of this?
10:24Hey, can I hoover your room now?
10:39Yeah.
10:48And there they are, the incomparable, unforgettable Beaufort twins.
10:53Lydia Beaufort looks outrageously good as always, and, hmm, I hope she has a license for that awful dead stare.
10:58Especially for you idiots.
11:02Yeah.
11:03Whoa, Captain, my Captain!
11:05Did Elaine get frisky with the Dallas to beat you up?
11:07Ernest, you were the talk.
11:08Oh yeah, of course.
11:11Hey, I heard that you were also at the gala.
11:14Why not tell us you were gonna come?
11:15Well, us boys got so trashed in the library.
11:17We'll do it again. How about tonight?
11:19Cyril looks like he's up for a bit of hair of the dog.
11:20I need the whole dog.
11:22We'll wrap fourth period up and then...
11:23Planning!
11:24As long as the planning doesn't become as complicated as...
11:26Hey, can we talk?
11:27Here.
11:28On school grounds.
11:30All the eyes.
11:31I mean later.
11:32Look at yours.
11:33Not interested.
11:35Come on.
11:36Please.
11:37Hey guys, what do you reckon?
11:39Are you coming on board with us?
11:40Are you going for it again?
11:42Yeah.
11:43Well, I'm still pretty wiped out from yesterday.
11:45Ah, you had lots of fun then, yeah?
11:47This is the last school year when we'll be together.
11:49What's the plan?
11:52I'll rave until we see the sun.
11:53I'm sorry.
11:54What did you say?
11:55Rave until the sun!
11:56Exactly.
11:57Let's go.
11:58That's it.
11:59Let's enjoy our last school year together.
12:00Are we gonna get hammered over?
12:01Yeah, there he is.
12:02The James Beaufort I know.
12:03Where have you been hiding him these last few weeks?
12:05It's been time for a party.
12:07Everything okay, buddy?
12:08Yeah.
12:09All pretty shitty.
12:10And you?
12:11I'm ignoring my secret boyfriend so they'll give me some attention or I'll give up.
12:16And?
12:17How's it going?
12:18Great.
12:19We're getting married tomorrow.
12:22Lydia.
12:23Is everything okay?
12:37Yeah.
12:38What's happened?
12:39I'm late for my lesson.
12:59Let's move on.
13:00What?
13:01You said you would run away with me, remember?
13:04You'll get your diploma elsewhere.
13:05There'll be a new job.
13:06You don't want it.
13:07You said that.
13:08Forget what I said to you in the past.
13:09I can't take this.
13:10You say that now.
13:11And sometimes you and you'll talk about responsibility.
13:12I absolutely want this, Lydia.
13:13I love you.
13:14That doesn't change the fact that-
13:15I love you, Lydia.
13:16You love this job.
13:17I absolutely love you, Lydia.
13:21Come on, let's leave.
13:37Come on, let's leave.
13:42Go where?
13:51The choice is yours.
13:54What's made you go crazy?
14:00Come to the cafe at five on Thursday and then we'll plan everything.
14:12Ruby, hello?
14:21I said that Oxford is sending out invitations for the interviews already.
14:25And Jessie said that hers had already come.
14:27What, really?
14:27Yeah, Jessamine.
14:42I said that her son.
14:48I'm a genius.
14:49You got her?
14:49Yeah, see how many of you are back then?
14:51Hey, you're good?
15:21Mr. Hughes, can I go to the toilet?
15:40Ooh, hey James, your girlfriend is here.
15:46Ruby.
15:48Ruby.
15:51Go get it, tiger.
15:53Go get it, tiger.
15:55Go on, go, go.
15:58Keep moving.
16:00Move some more.
16:02Well?
16:04Could you take that thing off?
16:06I'm not one of them.
16:14Are you ignoring me?
16:15Why do you think that?
16:16You're being an asshole, that's for sure.
16:18Am I?
16:19I'd rather you stop playing dumb and tell me what this ignoring is.
16:28Was that the plan?
16:30Make some moves on Ruby so she puts in a good word with Lexington.
16:33Go, go, go!
16:37Tell me what's up.
16:41What happened that night?
16:43Nothing.
16:43Did your father do that?
16:45Did your father do that?
16:50Did he do this?
16:56What makes you think you know one thing about my funny situation?
17:03What?
17:03Did you think we'd frolic hand in hand through flower meadows or something?
17:08It was just a kiss.
17:12It was more than a kiss.
17:21Did you actually start to believe someone like me would be interested in a girl like you?
17:26Why are you being so cruel?
17:35I'm sorry if you didn't understand what this was.
17:40But it's time to go back to how things were.
17:42Robin.
17:43Come on, let's go, boys!
17:45And for the better!
17:46Come on, let's go!
17:47Yes!
17:49Yes!
17:49Yes!
17:51Keep up!
17:52Let's go, boys!
17:53Ready!
17:53Come on!
17:55Quicker!
17:57That's it!
17:59Pull up, sir!
18:00Let's go, boys!
18:00Let's go, boys!
18:01Let's go, boys!
18:09I love you, I love you.
18:10I love you, I love you.
18:12I love you, I love you.
18:23I don't know.
18:53Can you come here, please? What is it?
19:14What's this?
19:19Sweetheart?
19:19You stay here. I want you to stop this.
19:35I'm saving up for it. I don't need much more than that.
19:38I don't need this.
19:41Sweetheart, you have so much on your plate already.
19:45This is not anything that should concern you. It's for us to worry about.
19:48Then it's all just a load of shit.
19:51That we do things in this family to help each other, support each other.
19:53No, that's not it.
19:54I won't have you struggling and doing extra work for me whilst dealing with school enrollment.
19:58I don't think I could contribute anything less.
20:00And I would always do more stuff just to make up for it if it was down to me.
20:03What do you mean by that?
20:12Please do not pretend that it's not down to me that you need a shitty lift in the first place.
20:15Ruby?
20:17Is everything okay?
20:29goldions
20:33It's eighth place.
20:36It's just a good moment.
20:38You're a grunt.
20:40It's really an amazing job.
20:41Hey guys!
20:43Until luego drown out me!
20:48It's really lovely.
20:50I knew I was here with...
20:52...
20:57Oh, hey, hey, Mom.
21:20James, hey.
21:23Come on, stand up.
21:25Come on.
21:27Come on.
21:34What's happened, huh?
21:37Ran up.
21:38It was run across.
21:40It was a stick.
21:41Hit me with a stick.
21:42Oh, God.
21:45Come on.
21:46Let's get you into bed.
21:55Come on.
21:56Mom.
22:11Yeah?
22:15Ever dreamt you were someone else?
22:18I think everyone wishes that sometimes.
22:23So, what are you sad then?
22:38I...
22:39I was in love, but unhappy.
22:46I think everyone has a moment in life.
22:49There's a particular point, I mean.
22:52When it becomes more apparent who they are.
22:56And they don't go after everything or the wrong person.
22:59I became obsessed with work.
23:06Then I became a mother.
23:09And him?
23:13He followed a different path.
23:18Sometimes being together is just no good.
23:21Even their love can't bind them together.
23:22And it's better.
23:23And it's better...
23:24It's better to let go.
23:28It's better to let go.
23:52What if letting go is too difficult?
24:02You can handle more than you think when you believe what you're doing is the right thing to do.
24:10Try to sleep a bit now, okay?
24:16Good night.
24:22Good night.
24:34Yeah!
24:35Awesome bitches!
24:38Everybody too!
24:42Everything okay?
24:48Yeah, of course.
24:49Still no post?
24:52Hey.
24:53I don't know anybody who put as much work into their application as you did.
24:57You'll get your offer.
24:58You just have to be patient.
25:01Oxygen is helpful.
25:03Breathe.
25:05Thanks.
25:06Hey.
25:07Look who's here, our little mermaid.
25:18You're doing exceptionally well dealing with being dumped by him, you know.
25:21Such a shame I missed the big moment.
25:22It was so dramatic, everybody said.
25:23James!
25:24James!
25:25How come?
25:26My love, I can't be for us.
25:27James!
25:28James!
25:29James!
25:30James!
25:31James!
25:32James!
25:33How come?
25:34My love, I can't be for us.
25:35James!
25:36You know, right from the beginning, anyone who wasn't aware that it wouldn't work.
25:39Is not just blind.
25:40They're also dumb.
25:41Hmm.
25:42Whatever, Elaine.
25:43You can have him.
25:44He's all yours.
25:45He's all yours.
25:46You can have him.
25:47He's all yours.
25:48All right.
25:49I'm not sure.
25:50Yes.
25:51What?
25:52James!
25:53James!
25:54James!
25:56You know, right from the beginning, anyone who wasn't aware that it wouldn't work, is
25:58not just blind, they're also dumb.
25:59Hmm.
26:00Whatever, Elaine.
26:10You can have him.
26:12He's all yours.
26:30You can have him.
27:00Are you okay?
27:15I'd be better if we could start concentrating.
27:18Not everyone is a friend in the teacher's lounge.
27:21What's happening with Graham and me?
27:23Is it what you think you know?
27:24I don't think anything.
27:26You think that I seduce my teacher?
27:28Or he seduced me?
27:31Considering it was you first on that day Ruby caught us that I came to,
27:34it's strange that you never asked about Graham and me or what was going on.
27:37Well, it's not like we tell each other about everything.
27:39We began emailing each other for months before.
27:54He was the first person I met who was interested in me without knowing my name.
27:58I only knew that he was in the middle of studying, nothing else.
28:06He was the first person I spoke to when I woke up every morning.
28:09And the last I wished I wished goodnight before sleeping.
28:15I don't know what I expected the first time we met, but suddenly there was this man in front of me.
28:21It was obvious there would be hell from Dad if it ever were to come out.
28:30But something told me that I shouldn't care less.
28:32I'd already been in love with him before we'd even met.
28:43When Graham got the job at Maxton Hall, it was immediately clear that we couldn't carry on.
28:46The situation that Ruby came into was kind of a one-off.
28:55You allowed yourself to have feelings for him.
28:58A rookie error.
29:01Pretty pathetic, aren't we?
29:03Emotionally crippled and completely useless.
29:05So shameful to the name Beaufort.
29:06Yeah, at least we're not alone.
29:16No, we're not.
29:22I promise you that.
29:23I promise you that.
29:46They say it's a matter of time.
29:54A thousand days and the sun won't shine.
29:56Before I come back to you.
30:00When I'm happy, nothing's going to stop me.
30:04I'm making my way home.
30:06I'm making my way.
30:09Before your love, I will go far.
30:11I'm gonna be wherever you are.
30:13I know I'm coming back for you.
30:16James?
30:21First prize, first prize.
30:23You coming?
30:23First prize, please.
30:26When I'm happy, nothing's going to stop me.
30:29I'm making my way home.
30:31I'm making my way.
30:34I go solo, oh, I go solo.
30:38I'm making my way.
30:39I'm making my way.
30:41I'm making my way.
30:42First prize, second prize.
30:58Phoenix, second prize.
30:59Mr. Sutton?
31:13Ms. Beaufort?
31:29Ms. Beaufort?
31:43Did you have a nice day?
31:45Ms. My shortbread pyramid was 20 stories in total. My own record was broken.
31:51I'm sorry that I...
31:53Ms. Me too.
31:59Ms. I...
32:02Ms. I've thought a lot about what you said, and...
32:06Ms. Our family is, in many ways, world class, but not when it comes to discussing things that hurt.
32:13Ms. And I guess...
32:15Ms. I'm grateful and wanted to thank you for doing it.
32:20Ms. After the accident, we were so focused on carrying on that, well, you know, we never really properly discussed what happened.
32:29Ms. But the accident didn't affect only me. It also affected you all, and had consequences for us all.
32:35Ms. Hmm?
32:42Ms. If I hadn't been born, it wouldn't have happened.
32:46Ms. You've no way of knowing that. And then you wouldn't be here, Ruby.
32:50Ms. And what bloody good would my stupid feet be if you're not here?
32:53Ms. This is...
32:55Ms. My destiny, this is.
32:57Ms. My own fate.
32:59Ms. And...
33:00Ms. My life...
33:03Ms. My life is fulfilled.
33:05Ms. And I'm thankful for every second.
33:10Ms. Standing...
33:12Ms. Oh yeah.
33:13Ms. Or sitting.
33:15Ms. Okay?
33:17Ms. I'd still like to contribute some money to the lift.
33:24Ms. Or you can use your money on teenage things like theatre or, I don't know, dance parties, if you like all that.
33:30Ms. I'd rather be able to shout at you to get out of my room like a real teenager.
33:34Ms. Okay. Point accepted.
33:36Ms. Ruby?
33:53Ms. What's the matter with you two?
33:55Ms. This came for you.
33:57Ms. Come on, read it!
33:58Ms. Go on!
34:12Ms. Dear Ruby Belle, we are extremely delighted to inform you that you have...
34:20Okay, show me what you have.
34:39You're on my stuff.
34:41Oh.
34:45And?
34:46Ten out of ten Oxford points.
34:50I wrinkled it.
34:51Let me iron it real quick.
34:53Although this would be the perfect moment for me to get you back, you'll be happy to hear
34:56that's not something I would do.
35:00Here.
35:02That's the current price for the we'll never talk about it again dress.
35:05You repaired it.
35:06I'm hoping it goes up to 500.
35:08Then we can get the lift for him.
35:12No!
35:14No!
35:20I have brought you something to pack, my love.
35:36I'm sure it will bring you as much luck as it brought me.
35:39Your grandfather would be proud of you, and we are too.
35:42I guess a thank you, or just a bit of respected...
35:53Thank you, Mum, for a couple more kilos of sentimental weight and expectations on my shoulders.
36:00Anxiety is part of every life change.
36:03Next year, when you're on campus, I guarantee you'll be laughing about all the fuss you made.
36:07You'll like Oxford, I promise.
36:08What if I don't?
36:09Would that change anything?
36:13What do you mean by that?
36:14What if I hate it?
36:16Or say that I have had enough?
36:18That I don't want to carry the face of young Beaufort anymore, or be anything to do with
36:22the running of the company?
36:24What then?
36:26You have access to one of the best universities in the world.
36:30To the leadership of one of the most prestigious businesses in England.
36:33A safety net that will always catch you.
36:35You have the chance to make it to the right top, should you choose.
36:38I can't believe you don't understand how lucky you are.
36:41Happiness isn't the same for everyone.
36:43You remember you said that?
36:46Good.
36:48If this isn't what you want, what do you want, then?
36:51The chance to go out there and find out.
37:03James, you're still so young.
37:06I don't want you to regret blowing the chances that this family has been able to give you.
37:10With my parents and I, there was no understanding, but today I'm eternally grateful to them.
37:21Because Beaufort is my home, my history.
37:24So, of course, it's automatically mine as well.
37:28Your parents went to Oxford, you and Dad went to Oxford, so of course I have to go to Oxford.
37:34You took over the company.
37:35I'll take over the company as well.
37:39You can expect me to behave.
37:42I won't step out of line.
37:45It's not in my genes.
37:46Come with me, my love
38:09To the sea, the sea of love
38:14Is everything okay, my darling?
38:39Do you remember when we met?
38:44That's the day
38:46I knew you were my pain
38:50I wanna tell you
38:55How much
38:59I love you
39:03I love you
39:09I wanna tell you
39:29How much
39:33I love you
39:35I love you
39:37I love you
39:38I love you
39:43Whole books
39:44Things have been written about the calm before the storm
39:46But hardly any about what comes after
39:48A moment when the noise around us dies down
39:52And we are left alone with what we have done
39:54And a silence
39:56That is deafening
39:57There are people who carry around a kind of compass
40:05People who say the right thing at the right moment
40:09Do the right thing
40:12And feel the right thing
40:14And feel the right thing
40:15And feel the right thing
40:19And feel the right thing
40:24These people find happiness
40:25No matter what life throws their way
40:27Yeah, so for registration
40:45You just have to follow them over there
40:47And the whole way just stay to the left
40:49And then you're there
40:49Okay, cool
40:50Thanks
40:51You'll be fine
40:56Do you need help?
41:00No, thank you
41:01I'll manage
41:02Come on
41:03Thank you
41:08No problem
41:09Are you here for the interviews?
41:12So the accommodation is
41:13Go straight on
41:14It'll be on your right
41:15Thank you
41:16All good
41:16Great to meet you
41:21Then
41:33And then there are the other kind of people
41:42Whose compass is broken
41:45Who at the right moment
41:49Make the wrong decision
41:50And the only way to stay sane
41:53Is to keep looking ahead
41:54To never look backwards
41:57A surefire method
42:08If you can stick to it
