The mill workers in Milton go on strike. In order to get his orders done in time, Thornton hires Irish workers. The angry strikers hear of this and in an attempt to threaten Thornton they hurt Margaret.

01:00Look out. Here's your majesty. I reckon she can smell it when you're not working.
01:04You there! Machine mended?
01:08Yes.
01:09Then use it. If there's many to take your place.
01:12the child is ill
01:28send her home
01:29the child cannot work
01:33is there another child at home
01:37if you can get her here within the hour
01:41you can keep the place
01:42in the hour of mine
01:46I lose it
01:48you ask me what I miss most about the countryside
01:55well Edith
01:57in Milton you cannot feel the seasons
01:59change around you
02:00but I do think that at long last we have put
02:03winter behind us
02:04and I can resume my daily walks
02:06I don't know why you're blaming me
02:10you can play your tricks out to Ashley
02:11that's your decision
02:12get it wrong we all suffer
02:14if you wanted 5% would you have given it them
02:16no
02:16but I would have told them straight
02:19I wouldn't pretend I were thinking about it
02:21and told them to come back on payday
02:22so that I could turn them down flat
02:24and provoke them
02:24are you accusing me of trying to encourage a strike?
02:27you're telling me that it wouldn't have suited you
02:28it's their lives and our livelihood you're playing with
02:31and you would handle your work as best
02:33I would not deliberately deceive you
02:36here is the address of our doctor
02:45you did not need to visit in person
02:50you could have sent a servant
02:51oh you've been in this heathen climate
02:55for some time now Miss Hale
02:57I'm surprised you haven't needed a doctor yet
02:59we don't
03:00I came here personally
03:02because I didn't want to alarm my father
03:04it's just a precaution
03:06in case
03:07my mother has low spirits
03:09really?
03:12we don't have much of that up here
03:14but I'm sure Dr Donaldson
03:16will try to help if you can
03:17I'm sorry to disturb you
03:19you do not disturb me
03:21but even you
03:23not remotely interested in industry
03:26might know that there is talk of a strike
03:28not just here at Marlborough Mills
03:30but one that will affect the whole of Milton
03:32what would they gain by striking?
03:35they'll be wanting higher wages?
03:38that is what they will say
03:40but the truth is
03:43that there are some men
03:46who raise themselves to be masters
03:48while others will always seek to pull them down
03:51that is the way of the world Miss Hale
03:54and there is nothing you or I can do about it
03:58hello Miss Margaret
04:16been visiting the old dragon
04:19hello Jenny
04:20how's your mother?
04:21a little better miss
04:22do you like working here?
04:27like it
04:28like work
04:29it's the same as anywhere
04:31well it's better than ham foods
04:33you can only earn 4 shillings I
04:35I am 5 and 10 up here
04:37but my dad makes me give him most of it
04:39what would you spend it on?
04:41if you could?
04:43food
04:43and then more food
04:44I'd pile it up
04:45create new plates
04:46so
04:48would you join a strike?
04:51well I'm not saying there will be one
04:52just if there was
04:53your mother has kindly given me the name of a doctor
05:03you're real?
05:04no
05:04no it's just a precaution
05:07your mother is always accusing me of knowing nothing about Milton and the people who live here
05:16I doubt she meant you should hang on to the tiffletaddle of young pieces and spinners
05:19they weren't telling me any secrets
05:22there was a man with a surveyor a few weeks ago
05:24it's quite the new thing
05:25we've become practised at telling others their wages and their working conditions
05:29do you mind that?
05:31if they tell the truth?
05:32of course not
05:32I don't apologise to anyone about the wages I pay or how I run Marlborough Mills
05:36it's no secret
05:37it's in plain sight for all to see
05:39and what about how they spend their money?
05:43well that would be none of my business
05:45my duty is to be efficient running of the mill
05:48if I neglect that all the workers will cease to have an income
05:50but what about your moral duty?
05:53if she keeps to her hours and does nothing to disrupt the honest and efficient working of the mill
05:57she does in her own time is not my concern
05:59here in the north we value our independence
06:03but surely you must take an interest
06:07I'm an employer
06:09I'm not a father or a brother that I can command her to do as I please
06:13sorry to disappoint you Miss Hale
06:16I would like to play the overbearing master
06:20but I'll answer your questions as honestly as I'm sure you ask them
06:24enough for excuse me I've urgent business
06:35and all the time there she is
06:39looking down on us like a great black angry crow guarding the nest
06:43as if I would ever consider her son as a suitor
06:45come on don't say you haven't thought about it
06:49mind you you'd have to get yourself some smarter clothes
06:51you want to mix with them at Marlborough Mills
06:53thank you
06:54I'll have you know these were new last year
06:56you won't stand a chance
06:58there's loads of girls after him
06:59well they are welcome to him with my good wishes
07:01I can say this
07:04if I ever have a son
07:05I'll not hang on to him like she does
07:07well
07:08I'll never be having children of any sort
07:10so that won't be a problem
07:13Bessie
07:17is it really so bad
07:19fluff on me lungs
07:25won't go away
07:26however much I cough
07:27at least I won't grow too old and ugly
07:30there is that
07:32and this happened at Marlborough Mills
07:34no
07:35no
07:37must have happened when I were little
07:40we didn't know of these things then
07:43we all had to work
07:44when father found out
07:47he moved me straight away to Thornton's
07:49he loves you very much doesn't he
07:52yes
07:53fathers and daughters
07:58mothers and sons
08:00so maybe we shouldn't be too hard
08:03on old Batlax Thornton
08:04maybe your mother be just the same
08:07as she had a son
08:08she does
08:12have a son
08:14I have a brother
08:16well now why didn't you ever say so before
08:19because we don't talk about him
08:21come on I could do with a good story
08:23I cried when Fred left home
08:29so did mother
08:31but he was desperate to go to sea
08:33and father thought it would be the making of him
08:36he left full of hope
08:40but that was before he sailed with the captain
08:44he was a monster
08:46once they set sail the captain did whatever he liked
08:50he beat the children to within an inch of their lives
08:54but couldn't they do anything
08:55well they tried
08:56Frederick and the others stood up to him
08:59some of them wanted to kill him
09:00eventually they put the captain and a few of his officers in a boat
09:03and let it loose on the open sea
09:05the navy called it a mutiny
09:08but Frederick really had no choice
09:11he was branded the ringleader and called a traitor
09:15eventually the navy printed a list of the mutineers
09:24and Fred's name was among them
09:27it nearly killed my parents
09:31he was in South America for a few years
09:34now he lives in Spain
09:36in Cadiz
09:37Spain?
09:39how romantic
09:40sometimes I think I'll never see him again
09:43but if he could be told how he were put upon
09:46how I defended others against that madman
09:49surely the law would spare him
09:50some of the sailors were caught
09:52they pleaded their case
09:54Captain Reed was clearly insane
09:57but they were hanged anyway
09:59no, Frederick's safe in Spain
10:02but if he comes home
10:04he'll be condemned to death I'm sure
10:05I suppose you can take comfort
10:11that he was so brave
10:13and acted to spare those sailors
10:16weaker than himself
10:17yes I do
10:18but I confess that sometimes
10:21I wish he had been more of a coward
10:22if my mother might see him once more
10:26preparations are ready
10:47if we're going to entertain
10:49we must do it properly
10:51you're not regretting the invitations
10:55are you?
10:56no
10:56spend what you will
10:58but we may have to be the last dinner party
11:02we have for some time
11:03so
11:08who's on the list?
11:11Slickson's of course
11:12Foster's
11:14Brown's will decline
11:15but we must invite them all soon
11:17Hale's will come I presume
11:19they are probably aware of the very great advantage
11:22it would be to Mr Hale
11:23to be introduced to people
11:24like the Fosters
11:25I'm sure that motive would not influence them funny
11:28how you seem to understand these Hales, John
11:31do you really think they're so very different
11:33from any other people we meet?
11:35he seems a worthy kind of man
11:36oh, rather too simple for trade
11:40she's a bit of a fine lady
11:43with all her low spirits
11:45as for the daughter
11:47she gives herself airs
11:50and yet they're not rich
11:52and they never have been
11:52and she's not accomplished, Mother
11:54she can't play the piano
11:55oh, and Fanny
11:56what else does she like
11:57to bring her up to your standard?
11:59I heard Miss Hale say
12:01she could not blame herself, John
12:03if you would let us alone
12:07we might perhaps see a Meriton like her
12:10I'm sure I never could
12:11I wish you would try to like Miss Hale, Mother
12:32why?
12:37you've not formed an attachment to her, have you?
12:40mind you
12:41she'll never have you
12:43why, she once laughed in my face
12:46at the thought of it
12:47I'm sure she did
12:47she would never have me
12:50she's too good an opinion
12:53who's up to take you
12:54she'd like to know
12:56if she'd find anyone better
12:58you can both believe me then
13:00when I say this
13:00out of complete indifference to Miss Hale
13:03Mr Hale is my friend
13:05she's his only daughter
13:06I wish you would both make an effort
13:07to befriend her
13:08I only wish I knew why you talked about her quite so much
13:13I'm tired of it
13:14what would you like us to talk about?
13:18how about a strike for a more pleasant topic?
13:20now
13:25now listen
13:27the men up at Ampers have been told
13:30not to expect a rise
13:32so what do you reckon?
13:39I thought so
13:47now's the time
13:50we will all stop our machines
13:52at the end of the day
13:53Friday
13:53ten minutes before time
13:55and no one
13:56no one will start them up
13:58no one
13:59no one
14:00no one
14:01no one
14:02no one
14:03no one
14:03no one
14:04no one
14:05well Gary Slickson decides to offer
14:07do anything to keep his mill working
14:09at advantage of others
14:10and you still come out
14:12remember
14:14if we all refuse to work
14:16we are the strong ones
14:19yeah
14:19how long
14:21how long do you think masters will last out
14:23if we're all together?
14:24a week
14:25two weeks at most
14:26why have they sent him for hands from Ireland?
14:27he wouldn't dare
14:28Felton would
14:28he died before being detentive
14:30I'll take him down if he gives me half a chance
14:32yeah
14:32there he is
14:33he takes that way
14:35yeah
14:36yeah
14:37no
14:38listen
14:40no
14:42no violence
14:44masters expect us to behave like animals
14:47we will show them
14:48we are thinking men
14:50we will not be out thought
14:53the only enemy of the strike is ourselves
14:56now we must manage this strike well
14:59not like five years ago
15:01when half of us went back to work before the others
15:04that understood
15:07this is it
15:10we keep together
15:13Friday evening it is
15:15Friday
15:16the debt to the bank is nearly four hundred pound
15:24the men are less patient
15:29they've barely made up pay since the last cut
15:33why don't they listen?
15:36I think that just by putting their ignorant heads together they'll get their way
15:40don't worry mother
15:42it's a young industry
15:43these problems will iron themselves out
15:45we're not yet in the position of selling up
15:50can't you get men from Ireland
15:52then you can get rid of the strikers
15:54I would
15:56I'd teach them I was master and could employ who I like
16:00yes
16:01I can
16:01and I will too if the strike lasts
16:04it'll be trouble and expense
16:07but I will do it rather than give in
16:10if there is to be this extra expense
16:20I'm sorry we're giving the dinner this year
16:23we should go on as before
16:25no more
16:28no less
16:29there now mother
16:38surely one of these would do for the Thorntons
16:41excuse me
16:42ah
16:43and this is Margaret of course
16:45you know the last time I saw you
16:47you were eight years old
16:48running round Helston with your brother
16:49Mr Bell
16:51of course
16:53how do you do?
16:56well Hale
16:57I thought then she would grow into a handsome young woman
16:59but this goddess
17:01I never imagined
17:02come come Bell
17:03Margaret will not understand your humour
17:05oh
17:06no offence my dear
17:07of course not
17:08I'm pleased you've come to visit at last
17:11with all this talk of strikes
17:13I thought I'd better check with my banker
17:15whether I should set up my property
17:16surely not
17:18we're not even certain there'll be a strike
17:21are we father?
17:22I don't know
17:23seems to me the masters and workers
17:25will never see eye to eye
17:26I said no
17:35they were expecting you
17:38they were expecting you
17:39they were expecting you
17:39they were expecting you
17:40they were expecting you
17:41they were expecting you
17:42they were expecting you
17:43they were expecting you
17:44they were expecting you
17:45they were expecting you
17:46they were expecting you
17:47they were expecting you
17:48they were expecting you
17:49they were expecting you
17:50they were expecting you
17:51they were expecting you
17:52they were expecting you
17:53they were expecting you
17:54they were expecting you
17:55they were expecting you
17:56they were expecting you
17:57they were expecting you
17:58they were expecting you
17:59they were expecting you
18:00they were expecting you
18:01they were expecting you
18:02they were expecting you
18:03they were expecting you
18:04they were expecting you
20:05I do so long to see him.
20:12I'm sure he'll look splendid in whatever you choose.
20:15I've been very busy.
20:18It's strange, for the rest of Milton is not at work.
20:21No one can say how long the strike will last.
20:28No.
20:29No.
20:30My wife, no.
20:32No.
20:33She's sinking away.
20:34She can't stand sight of her littling starving.
20:37She'd be dead before we get our 5%.
20:38I hate you.
20:41You and all pack union said it'd take two weeks.
20:46Two weeks, she said.
20:48It's been twice as long as that.
20:51My littling's a lion in their bed's too hungry to cry.
20:57Don't.
21:00No, I told you I would take care of you.
21:03And I pledge my heart and soul that we will win.
21:08Expect a man to watch his children starve
21:10where he dare go against union.
21:11You've no more pity for a man than a pack of hungry wolves.
21:33We do what little we can.
21:34I feel guilty that we do not go hungry
21:39and helpless in the face of so much suffering.
21:54She's a bit down in the mouth today.
21:57Strike's been going on too long.
21:59Do you blame me?
22:01What about the vouchers?
22:02I left a basket outside the door.
22:05He's got less spirit than father
22:07and more mouths to feed.
22:09The master will try anything to get them back.
22:11How are you going to stop him going to work
22:13while you all stay out?
22:14We'll be persuasive.
22:22Where I come from in the south,
22:24if the field laborers strike,
22:25the seed would not be sown
22:27and there'd be no harvest.
22:29So?
22:30What would become of the farms?
22:33Well, the farmers would have to give them up.
22:35Or maybe they could pay a fair wage for once.
22:37I suppose they couldn't.
22:38Even if they wished to.
22:40Then they'd have no corn to sell
22:42and no wages to pay the next year.
22:43I don't know about the south.
22:45I've heard there are a lot of unspirited,
22:47downtrodden men.
22:48I'm sure I'm very ignorant.
22:59But surely not all the masters
23:00would withhold pay with no reason.
23:02You're a foreigner.
23:03You know nothing.
23:06You're to hell with Thorntons,
23:08Slixons,
23:09Hampers.
23:10To hell with a lot of them.
23:11Is Mr. Thornton really as bad as the rest?
23:15He's a fighter.
23:16Fierce as a bulldog.
23:18He's better looking, surely,
23:19than a bulldog.
23:21He'll stick to his word like a dog.
23:22I'll give him that.
23:24He's worth fighting with.
23:25It's the best I'll say for him.
23:28I'll not argue with you, miss.
23:32See you later, lass.
23:32Ah, Mrs. Thornton.
23:46I hope it is silent enough for you tonight, Mr. Hale.
23:50The men have been gracious enough
23:52to turn out for the last month.
23:55So always quiet for our dinner party.
23:57Ah, Thornton.
24:13I took the liberty of inviting myself,
24:15knowing your mother's hospitality.
24:16I hope you're not worrying about mob mills.
24:19We'll ride out the strike,
24:20just as we always have.
24:21I've always had complete faith in you, Thornton,
24:23but obviously in the present situation...
24:25It's nothing I can't handle.
24:26No, of course not.
24:28Thornton knows everything in matters of business.
24:30He has my every confidence.
24:31Oh, dear.
24:32You know Miss Latimer?
24:39Thornton.
24:41Who's that fine, you're a lady?
24:42See, I am learning Milton ways, Mr. Thornton.
24:58I'm sorry your mother wasn't able to join us.
25:04Thornton, I must speak with you.
25:06Excuse me.
25:18Have you left word at the barracks?
25:19It's been done.
25:20Men on horseback, armed men...
25:21All those arrangements have been made.
25:24If they find out you are planning to break the strike
25:26by bringing in Irish work...
25:28I'll take this risk for myself.
25:30You need not join in.
25:32I can and will protect myself and anyone that works for me
25:35from any kind of violence.
25:37I sincerely hope so.
25:39Well, really, Thornton is most ungallant this evening,
25:42leaving the most glorious woman in the room
25:44to talk to that slimy eel Slixen.
25:47Now then, who can we introduce you to?
25:50Come with me.
25:51I hear Arnold is moving lock, stock and barrel to America.
26:02America?
26:04I'll be damned.
26:05That's what I'd like to do.
26:06Pack up and leave.
26:08Damn strikers have no work at all, then.
26:10Well, they have no work at the moment.
26:13There is work.
26:14They choose not to do it.
26:17Thornton, what do you think?
26:20Oh, I think our Mr Bell is up to his old tricks.
26:23Playing with words at the expense of us simpler fellows.
26:27But it's a serious question.
26:29I don't want to manufacture in another country,
26:32but it's logical for others to try
26:33if they cannot make enough profit here.
26:36What do you think, Miss Hale?
26:38Surely you don't condone the strikers.
26:40Well, no.
26:42Well, and yes,
26:43it is surely good to try to see both sides of a question.
26:47Mrs Arthur saw you taking a basket.
26:49to the Princeton district the other afternoon.
26:56I have a good friend in Princeton.
26:59Her name is Bessie Higgins.
27:00Higgins?
27:02Isn't he one of your union leaders, Amper?
27:05Yeah.
27:06He's a terrific firebrand.
27:08Dangerous man.
27:09I'm surprised, Miss Hale,
27:11that you keep such company.
27:13Bessie is my friend.
27:14Nicholas is a little...
27:15Nicholas?
27:16She's on first-name terms.
27:18Mr Higgins
27:19has been made a little wild by circumstances,
27:23but he speaks from his heart, I'm sure.
27:26Well, if he's so determined,
27:28I'm surprised he'll accept charity.
27:31Well, he doesn't for himself.
27:33The basket was for a man
27:34whose six children are starving.
27:36Ah, well.
27:37Then he knows what to do.
27:39Go back to work.
27:43I believe this poor, starving fellow
27:44works at Marlborough Mills, doesn't he, Margaret?
27:52You do the man whoever he is
27:54more harm than good with your basket.
27:55Logic would say
27:59the longer you support the strikers,
28:02the more you prolong the strike.
28:04That is not kindness.
28:07They will be defeated,
28:08but it will take longer.
28:10Their pain will be prolonged.
28:14But surely to give a dying baby food
28:16is not just a question of logic.
28:19Mrs Thornton,
28:20I really must congratulate you
28:22on these magnificent
28:24table settings.
28:28I don't believe
28:29I've seen
28:29finer table decorations
28:32even in the grandest gatherings
28:33in Harley Street.
28:35Well, all masters are the same, Mr Bell.
28:38You do us an injustice
28:39to always think
28:40we're all up to some
28:40underhand scheme or other.
28:50Do come in, Maria.
29:00They may still be up.
29:02Um...
29:08Come on, Maria.
29:16Who is that, Dixon?
29:18Who?
29:18The man I saw
29:20leaving the house.
29:22What man?
29:23Dixon.
29:28It was the doctor.
29:30Dr Donaldson.
29:31Mother.
29:32He was just making
29:33his usual visit.
29:35His usual visit?
29:37How long has he been
29:38coming here?
29:48Margaret.
29:55Margaret.
29:57Why are you hiding
29:58over there?
30:12Oh, Amanda.
30:14What's this?
30:15Dixon told you, didn't she?
30:34She promised she would.
30:36I made her.
30:37It was Dixon who said
30:40that you shouldn't
30:41be told.
30:43What does Dixon know?
30:46She's a servant.
30:48I'm your daughter.
30:49I don't want your father
30:51to hear.
30:54Don't be angry with Dixon.
30:57She loves me.
31:00No.
31:02I'll try not to.
31:05I keep thinking about
31:07Helston.
31:11I used to complain about it
31:13sometimes and want to leave.
31:14And I'll never see it again.
31:20That's my punishment.
31:26And Margaret.
31:31I can't stop thinking
31:32about Frederick.
31:35I'll never see him again either.
31:39Oh, Margaret,
31:40it's so hard.
31:41Shh.
31:52Shh.
31:54Oh, dear.
31:56Shh.
32:02Then, Amis,
32:03you would know.
32:05Now you'll fret
32:06before you need to.
32:08Likely tell the master too.
32:10Then I'll have the whole house
32:11to deal with.
32:12No, I won't tell father.
32:15I can bear it better than him.
32:17So I see.
32:23I've known some time now
32:24who she is.
32:26And though I don't pretend
32:27to love her as you do,
32:30I've loved her better
32:32than anyone else
32:33in the whole world.
32:34I'll never forget
32:40the first time I saw her.
32:45The young Miss Beresford.
32:50I broke a needle
32:51into my finger.
32:52I was so nervous.
32:53And she bound my hand
33:00with her own handkerchief.
33:05And then,
33:07when she returned
33:08from the ball,
33:12she remembered
33:14to look in on me.
33:19She changed the handkerchief
33:21for another one.
33:29She was the most beautiful
33:30thing I'd ever seen.
33:35Or seen since.
33:43Now, Miss,
33:44you best get to bed.
33:46You're going to need
33:47a clear mind
33:47in the morning.
33:55I'm sorry I get
33:56cross with you,
33:57Dixon.
33:59Bless you.
34:01I like a bit of spirit.
34:03When you're all fired up,
34:05you remind me
34:06of Master Frederick.
34:09That is a welcome sight.
34:10Yeah.
34:11You're taking us to the factory
34:35in the morning, sir.
34:36You're taking us to the factory
34:37in the morning, sir.
34:38I'll just take a minute.
34:42I'm sleeping.
34:45I'm, Mr.
34:46Where will you?
34:47That's the lot for tonight,
34:48Mr. Bar.
34:49The camera's bringing
34:49any more in before dinner.
34:51Come on, Dixon.
34:51Keep on.
34:52Come on.
34:52I'll just have to be seen.
34:53We'll just have to be seen.
34:55We'll just have to be seen.
34:55We'll just have to be seen.
34:56We'll just have to be seen.
34:57We'll just have to be seen.
34:59I don't know.
35:29Oh, it's you, miss.
35:44Did you see anyone in the street?
35:46No.
35:47That's very odd, isn't it?
35:49Where is everyone?
35:51I think we'll know soon enough.
35:55Let's get inside out, miss, and bolt the door behind you.
35:59Come on!
36:00Come on!
36:01Come on!
36:02Come and go!
36:04Come!
36:05Come and go!
36:06Come and go!
36:08Come and go!
36:09Come and go!
36:14Oh!
36:15Here's my mom.
36:17Oh, here's my mum.
36:30Excuse me, Mrs Thornton. I'm sorry to bother you at such a time.
36:33My mother finally mentioned you had a water mattress that we might borrow.
36:39I'm sorry. I thought...
36:47Try to stop her panicking.
37:06Miss Hale.
37:06Miss Hale, I'm sorry you have visited us at this unfortunate moment.
37:29They're in there somewhere!
37:31Come on!
37:34Oh, my God, they're going for the middle door.
37:36Get the Irish out!
37:41Oh, no. It's Boucher.
37:47Let them yell.
37:49Keep up your courage for a few minutes longer, Miss Hale.
37:52I'm not afraid.
37:53But can't you pacify them?
37:55The soldiers will make them see reason.
37:57Reason?
37:58What kind of reason?
38:00Mr Thornton, go down this instant and face them like a man.
38:03Speak to them as if they were human beings.
38:05They're driven mad with hunger.
38:06Their children are starving.
38:08They don't know what they're doing.
38:09Go and save your innocent Irishman.
38:18Mr Thornton, take care.
38:20In God's name, stop!
38:36Think of what you're doing.
38:38He is only one man and you are many.
38:40Go home.
38:42The soldiers are coming.
38:43Go in peace.
38:44You shall have an answer to your complaints.
38:46Will you send the Irish, you're on?
38:47Never!
38:52Go inside.
38:55This is not your plan.
38:55They will not want to hurt a woman.
38:57Go inside or I will take you.
38:58Get them out!
38:59Get them out!
39:11Are you satisfied?
39:15You came here for me, so kill me if that's what you want!
39:18Is she dead?
39:35Is she dead?
39:47No, Miss Fanny. She's breathing, but she looks very bad.
39:50Oh, where is Mother? We need a doctor.
39:53She had to get through rioters. She were only one of us brave enough to go.
39:58Did you see, Miss?
40:00What?
40:01Miss Hale, what happened down below?
40:03Did you not see Miss Hale clinging to the master?
40:07No.
40:09Did all the servants see?
40:11We had a good enough view from top window.
40:14Well, Mars, sure, she set her mind on John.
40:16This proves it.
40:19Oh, quick, Jane, fetch some water.
40:23There, there, Miss Hale.
40:25You lie quietly.
40:27Mother's gone for the doctor.
40:29He will be here soon.
40:31I don't need a doctor.
40:35I must go home.
40:36No, you can't.
40:37Oh, Mother, thank goodness you're back.
40:39Miss Hale, is she worse?
40:41No, I'm quite well.
40:43I want to go home.
40:52Hmm, it looks worse than it is.
40:54But you've had quite a blow, young lady.
41:02You'd better rest here a while.
41:03No.
41:04You know my mother is unwell.
41:07She must not be alarmed.
41:09If she hears of this,
41:11I will go now.
41:13Surely not, Doctor.
41:14I think she must be allowed to do as she will.
41:17I'll take her with me in the carriage.
41:19See she reaches home safely.
41:22The streets are still very noisy.
41:25Very well.
41:25Mr. Thornton.
41:51Mr. Thornton?
41:51Don't worry, sir.
42:05We'll catch the ringleaders.
42:06Thornton's come up smiling again.
42:09Those hoodlums have broken the strike.
42:11Didn't even have to use his Irishman.
42:13Don't worry, sir.
42:43Margaret, is that you?
42:51Yes, Mother.
42:53I'll be in soon.
42:56I must wash.
42:57The streets are very dusty today.
43:03Where is Miss Hale?
43:05She has gone home.
43:08Gone home?
43:09That is not possible.
43:11Really, John, she was quite well.
43:13Mother, she took a terrible blow.
43:16What were you thinking of letting her go home?
43:18Everything was done properly.
43:20Dr. Donaldson was gone.
43:21In fact, I went for her myself,
43:23as no one else seemed to have a mind to go.
43:27Thank you, Mother.
43:29The streets were dangerous.
43:30I'm sure it's not possible
43:32to keep such a headstrong young woman
43:35anywhere she doesn't care to be.
43:37She's such a reckless young woman.
43:40Jane, have you nothing to be getting on with?
43:42Miss Fanny, sir?
43:43I was so scared.
43:45Believe me, I almost fainted.
43:47I thought they would break down the door and murder us all.
43:50Oh, Fanny, don't be so ridiculous.
43:52You were in no danger.
43:53Where are you going?
44:02To see if Miss Hale is well.
44:04I sent her home in a carriage with Dr. Donaldson.
44:07Everything was done properly.
44:09John!
44:13I'm asking you not to go.
44:14I'm asking you not to go.
44:44I hear there's been some violence up at Marlborough Mills.
44:53I do hope there's not too much damage.
44:56There's a young lady who wants Miss Margaret.
44:59I told her to go, but she's very distressed.
45:03I said her name's Mary.
45:08I'm sorry, Miss.
45:09I didn't know what to do.
45:11Bess has been took so very ill.
45:13I didn't know what to do.
45:35I don't know.
46:05You're still up?
46:24I thought you'd be exhausted.
46:26Why should I be?
46:30Where have you been?
46:33Just walking.
46:35Where have you been walking?
46:43I promised you I would not go there and I did not.
46:48But?
46:50But.
46:55Mother, you know I will have to go there tomorrow and you know what I will have to say.
46:59Yes, you could hardly do otherwise.
47:04What do you mean?
47:06I mean that you are bound in honor since she has shown her feelings for all the world to see.
47:14Her feelings?
47:15She rushed out in front of an angry mob and saved you from danger.
47:20Or are you telling me I imagine that?
47:22Do you think none of the servants are?
47:25Do you think it's not become the tittle-tattle of Milton?
47:28Mother Milton?
47:29She did save me.
47:31Mother, I didn't believe such a woman could care for me.
47:36I didn't believe such a woman could care for me.
47:39Don't be so foolish.
47:41And what more proof do you need that she should act in such a shameless way?
47:47I'm sure she will take you from me.
47:59That is why I didn't want you to go to see her today.
48:04I wanted one last evening of being the first in your affections.
48:17I will have to change the initials on our linen.
48:20You will bear her name now.
48:23Hers and yours.
48:27I know.
48:28She does not care for me.
48:32I can't remain silent.
48:33I must ask her.
48:35Don't be afraid, John.
48:38She has admitted it to the world.
48:44I might even learn to like her for it.
48:47Must have taken a great deal to overcome her pride.
49:17I have not noticed the colour of this fruit.
49:38Miss Hale, I'm afraid I was very ungrateful yesterday.
49:41You have nothing to be grateful for.
49:43I think that I do.
49:46I did only the least that anyone would have.
49:50That can't be true.
49:52Well, I was, after all, responsible for placing you in danger.
49:56I would have done the same for any man there.
49:59Any man?
50:03So you approve of that violence? You think I got what I deserved?
50:05Oh, no. Of course not.
50:07But they were desperate.
50:09I know if you were to talk...
50:10I forgot.
50:12You imagined them to be your friends.
50:15But if you were to be reasonable...
50:17Me?
50:18Were you saying that I'm unreasonable?
50:20If you would talk with them, and not set the soldiers on them, I know they would...
50:25They will get what they deserve.
50:26Miss Hale, I didn't just come here to thank you.
50:39I came because...
50:41I think it very likely...
50:44I know I've never found myself in this position before.
50:51It's difficult to find the words.
50:56Miss Hale, my feelings for you are very strong.
50:59Please, stop.
51:03Please don't go any further.
51:05Excuse me.
51:07Please don't continue in that way.
51:10It's not the way of a gentleman.
51:16I'm well aware that, in your eyes at least, I'm not a gentleman.
51:20But I think I deserve to know why I am offensive.
51:24It offends me that you should speak to me as if it were your duty to rescue my reputation.
51:27I spoke to you about my feelings because I love you.
51:30I had no thought for your reputation.
51:32You think that because you are rich, and my father is in reduced circumstances,
51:36that you can have me for your possession?
51:39I suppose I should expect no less from someone in trade.
51:41I don't want to possess you.
51:42I wish to marry you because I love you.
51:44You shouldn't.
51:45Because I do not like you.
51:46And never have.
51:47What minute we talk of the colour of fruit.
51:59The next of love.
52:04How does that happen?
52:05My friend, Bertie Higgins, is dying.
52:17And that of course is my fault too.
52:19I'm sorry.
52:24I'm sorry.
52:25For what?
52:27That you find my feelings for you offensive?
52:30Or that you assume because I'm in trade I'm only capable of thinking in terms of buying and selling?
52:34Or that I take pleasure in sending my employees to an early grave?
52:37No.
52:38No, of course not.
52:41I'm sorry to be so blunt.
52:45I have not learnt how to...
52:47How to refuse.
52:50How to respond when a man talks to me as you just have.
52:54Well, there are others.
52:57This happens to you every day.
53:01Of course.
53:03You must have to disappoint so many men that offer you their heart.
53:05Please, understand, Mr Thornton.
53:06I do understand.
53:10I understand you completely.
