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