00:06Welcome back, Mrs. Hart.
00:08Oh, have I been away?
00:11Charming scarf.
00:12Oh, thank you.
00:13Spring, summer, yes.
00:14And just perfect with those boots.
00:17Now, my side text presentation at 11, yes?
00:20Oh, Paula's taking that on.
00:23Her last one was a triumph.
00:25They sent her cookies.
00:44Grandy?
00:44No need for big speeches, thank you.
00:47You know, I have apologised a million times.
00:50And there's no one in the whole world I admire more than you.
00:53Oh, you are doing this speech, are you?
00:55Are you hoping I'll send you biscuits?
00:57Grandy, you have to listen to me.
01:01They know.
01:03They all know you've been ill.
01:06Some source at the hospital.
01:08They're gathering the board in London next Monday.
01:11They told everyone that you've been ill and I'm afraid.
01:17They've got the votes.
01:20They're going to oust you.
01:21Heart Enterprises, Psytex, it's all to be taken from you and put in their names.
01:28Edwina.
01:29Yes.
01:30Along with Uncle Kit, Uncle Robin and Aunt Elizabeth.
01:33I'm so sorry.
01:35What can I do?
01:41I see you've been dabbling in lycra.
01:45Oh, our new leisure wear range.
01:47You'll hate it, I'm sure, but I'm convinced it's the next big thing.
01:52Well, looks very comfortable.
01:58Zip fastening on the side would improve the lines.
02:03Leave me, would you, Paula?
02:05I'm suddenly very tired.
02:26Henry, it's Emma.
02:29I've decided I would like to go ahead.
02:34Yes, please.
02:35And we're to be certain it's absolutely watertight.
02:42My birthday?
02:45Not a thing, I imagine.
02:48What use are birthdays?
02:50Happy birthday to you.
02:55Happy birthday to you.
02:59Happy birthday, dear kid.
03:03Happy birthday to you.
03:07Woo!
03:09Right, who wants a slice?
03:11Me.
03:12Yes, please.
03:17This is madness.
03:20Pretending everything's fine.
03:22Throwing a party when we all know war could be declared any second.
03:25We'll be waiting either way.
03:27Might as well eat cake while we're doing it.
03:30Matt, business has been slowing down for months.
03:33I've had to take out loans.
03:35What does Joe say?
03:38Emma, you haven't told him.
03:41He won't hear it.
03:42He's convinced himself war won't happen.
03:44Well, maybe he's right.
03:45He's not.
03:46I need a plan.
03:51Never let a problem that can't be solved with an Emma Hart plan.
03:58Emma, Matt, family photograph.
04:01Everyone in.
04:03Come on.
04:09Come on, put your arm around your wife, man.
04:28Come on.
04:41Excuse me, sorry.
05:13Did you see?
05:14The government's going to be accepting bids for uniform manufacturers.
05:17This is it, Mac.
05:19This is how we're going to survive it.
05:22Now, I know what you're thinking.
05:23Why would they award a contract to someone who's made their name in ladies' wear,
05:26especially a woman, but I think...
05:28So you're going to start manufacturing the material
05:31before you've even won the contract?
05:33To make sure I win the contract.
05:34They can't say no, can they?
05:36Yeah, but the cost of it...
05:39It's a risk.
05:40I know it is.
05:42But the only way I can make it work is...
05:46if I sell the shops.
05:50No.
05:51No, you built those with your own blood, sweat and tears.
05:54You can't just give them up.
05:55If I don't do something drastic, the debt collectors will take them anyway.
06:03You don't think I can do it?
06:07I think you can do anything, Emma.
06:12What can I do to help?
06:15No.
06:17No.
06:20No.
06:24No.
06:33Good night.
06:34Thanks.
06:56Ah, what a blessing, being able to have breakfast together again, both of us, with
07:03our wives. So you've settled back into your old room, have you? Yes, fine, thank you. Well, we do appreciate
07:10you giving up the house, don't we, Adam? Yes, and once finances are back on track, we'll find you a
07:18new place. That might not be necessary. Oh? I'm signing up.
07:35Ladies, would you leave us for a moment, please? Of course.
07:48I thought you'd be pleased. You never pass up the opportunity to speak about your days at Sandhurst.
07:53If I thought this was in any way an honourable war, I'd be commending your bravery. But it isn't ours
07:59to fight. Esquith is leading our soldiers to catastrophe. Only a fool would volunteer.
08:05And I suppose I'm a fool.
08:07You do remember we own a newspaper? Yes?
08:12It's the one thing people will still be buying. Edwin, do you have any idea how close we are to
08:19losing this house?
08:20You'll manage without me. Why? Why are you so set on this?
08:30It's the only way to make it stop. What are you talking about?
08:39Emma Hart. Emma Hart.
08:42What has that damn girl done now? It's what I did to her, Father.
08:48That's the why.
08:50Emma Hart is hell-bent on destroying us.
08:53It's why she took our mill.
08:56She's punishing me.
08:57And she won't give up until I've suffered as much as she has.
09:00So this is what?
09:02A suicide mission?
09:04What could you have possibly done that is so terrible you'll risk your life as recompense?
09:12What?
09:14Emma and I were involved romantically.
09:22I'm sorry, Father.
09:24She fell pregnant and I panicked.
09:27Took no responsibility.
09:30All but sent her away entirely alone.
09:44And what were you supposed to do?
09:47Marry her?
09:51Did you not just hear what I said about the-
09:54Oh, yes. Yes.
09:56Gerald told me years ago there was a child.
10:01You-
10:02You knew.
10:05And you-you're not angry.
10:06Well, it's not ideal.
10:09Obviously.
10:11But
10:12boys will be boys.
10:13Needs must be met.
10:15And inevitably the sort of girls who are willing are only going to be found in the service quarters.
10:18That-
10:20Not with Emma.
10:22It was-
10:23What?
10:25Love?
10:26More than love.
10:27It was everything.
10:29Whatever silly infatuation you think you had, Edwin, it hardly justifies traipsing off to France with the very real possibility
10:37you won't return.
10:38I understand the risks.
10:40It's what I have to do.
10:42And I'm sorry, Father.
10:44You won't change my mind.
10:56Morning, everyone.
10:57Now, I know this is an uncertain and anxious time for us all, so I'll get straight to the point.
11:06From today, my mills and the factory will halt production on the usual hat fabrics and designs, to produce only
11:14a durable wool for military uniforms,
11:17which we will eventually be making on an exclusive basis for the duration of the war.
11:23Unfortunately, this will mean the closing and sale of my shops.
11:27But please don't worry.
11:29None of you will be out of work.
11:30You're all needed elsewhere.
11:32Those of you who wish to volunteer, I will continue to pay your wages to your families.
11:35Then when you return, your jobs will be here waiting for you.
11:39While you're out there, fighting to protect our future, we'll be doing everything we can to protect yours.
11:46Are there any questions?
11:48Yes.
11:50I have a few.
11:53You're selling my shops.
11:54I'm selling my shops.
11:55I bought them from you at full price.
11:58The deeds are in my name.
11:59I don't care about the deeds, Emma.
12:01These shops belong to my father.
12:03If you pull the wallpaper down in that corner, you'll see where my mother marked my height every birthday.
12:07Those memories will still exist with or without these buildings.
12:11Perhaps you don't understand what a precarious position we're in.
12:14Who is this we?
12:15You talk like we're a team, but you didn't think to ask or even tell me that you're selling my
12:19father's legacy.
12:20These are not normal times.
12:22Wouldn't your father want you to do what's needed to survive?
12:25Or maybe that's the problem.
12:27Survival isn't something you've ever had to think about before.
12:30What's that supposed to mean?
12:31These shops were handed to you, just like everything else in your life.
12:34That doesn't mean I didn't work hard.
12:36Can't you just trust that I have explored every option and this is the one that'll see our family through
12:41this wretched war?
12:42Do you have so little faith in me?
12:44No, that's not fair and you know it.
12:46I had faith in you the second I saw you.
12:49I gave you a job, remember?
12:51And less than a year, I let you a shop and then another, Emma.
12:54I don't think there's anybody in this world who has more faith in you than I do.
13:00Mac had no doubts.
13:02Not one.
13:06Laura, please.
13:08I said I didn't want to.
13:11Laura?
13:12Emma, talk some sense into him, please.
13:14I'll listen to you.
13:14What's going on?
13:16He's signing up.
13:18Sacrificing himself for a country that's not even hit.
13:20Laura.
13:20My husband's going to give his life for the whim of a government who won't give women the vote and
13:24I'm supposed to just accept it.
13:25You does seem a bit rash, Mac.
13:27It's early days.
13:28I'm not doing this for the government or the king.
13:32Can't you see?
13:33If we don't go over there and stop the Germans, they'll bring the fight to us.
13:37There's no doubt it'll reach these shores.
13:40That'll take months.
13:41Yes, the war will be over by Christmas.
13:44And what if it's not?
13:47I can't sit here waiting for them to come to us.
13:52I have to do this.
13:55To keep you safe.
13:57But we don't want you to.
13:59Do we, Emma?
14:00Tell him.
14:01He's right.
14:04We have to do what we can, no matter how risky.
14:07It scares me.
14:07Of course it does.
14:08I couldn't bear the thought.
14:12But we can't be ruled by fear.
14:15This is bigger than all of us.
14:18We've got good lives that we've worked hard for.
14:21People to protect.
14:24If we don't fight tooth and nail in whatever way we can, God knows what that'll mean for our children.
14:30Doing nothing is not the biggest risk of all.
14:56We'll be with you in just a second.
14:57Feel free to browse.
15:00There she is.
15:03Emma Hart.
15:07Look at you.
15:10How far you've come.
15:20You should know that Edmund told me everything.
15:26He's got it into his head that he has to, um, he's, uh, oh, he's volunteering to fight, punishing himself
15:36for what happened between the pair of you.
15:40Now, if what Edmund says is true and your feelings for each other were, in fact, genuine, then I'm sure
15:47you don't want his life at risk any more than I do.
15:53So, I thought you could write him a letter saying that you'll forgive him, absolving him.
16:02Maybe, just maybe, he'll see sense.
16:08No.
16:16No.
16:17A word you're unfamiliar with, Squire.
16:19I'm not as well read as you, but I believe if you look it up in the dictionary, it means
16:23there'll be a cold day in hell before I do any such thing.
16:30Emma, my son could die.
16:32And that has absolutely nothing to do with me.
16:42Oh, you used to remind me so much of your mother.
16:47But I can see now, you're quite different.
16:51What do you know about my mother?
16:53Oh, she didn't tell you.
16:55Elizabeth, she used to serve our family much like you did.
17:00I was very fond of her.
17:04You lying?
17:05We spent a wonderful summer together, out on the moors, in the caves, on top of the world.
17:14Only, she was able to see our time together for what it was.
17:18She didn't bear a grudge.
17:20And I'm asking you to do the same.
17:24Find it in your heart to forgive.
17:27I think it's what your mother would want.
17:36Why didn't you help her?
17:41She could have lived.
17:45If we could have got a doctor to see her, to give her medicine, you could have paid for that.
17:53I, uh...
17:54My father ran into a burning building to save your son.
17:57He gave his life for him.
17:59You wouldn't even give one penny for my mother's.
18:02That's hardly fair.
18:03No, such thing is fair.
18:04Not in this world, though I see why you believe in it.
18:07Since every coin you've ever tossed has landed heads up, but that is just luck.
18:10All I'm trying to do is protect my child.
18:12Edwin is a grown man who is choosing to put himself in the line of fire.
18:16My mother never had a choice her whole life.
18:19No need to get upset.
18:20Oh, I'm not upset.
18:21I am burning with rage.
18:23And that will never change.
18:24You, your sons, your wife, you destroyed my family.
18:28And you could be quite sure I will not rest until I've destroyed yours.
18:40I don't know.
19:00I don't know.
19:01I don't know.
19:09Oh, my God.
19:56Oh, my God.
20:15Oh, my God.
20:19I'll be up soon.
20:20It's already morning.
20:23Been here all night.
20:26I'm sorry.
20:30I've been thinking.
20:33And we need to give ourselves the best possible chance of winning the military uniform contract.
20:39So that's why I think you should do the presentation.
20:47What?
20:48Perform it, I mean.
20:49I'll write it.
20:50We can write it together.
20:52And practice it over and over until you know it back to front.
20:54Emma.
20:55I know you're angry with me about the shops.
20:57But this is for our family, for the children.
21:00Those lords are never going to give the contract to a woman.
21:03They want someone who looks like them.
21:05A man they can trust in.
21:06And I don't know a more trustworthy man than...
21:08I've signed up.
21:15You...
21:16Joe.
21:19Is this because Mac?
21:23I'm not daft, Emma.
21:26I wouldn't risk leaving our children without a father just to prove to you I'm as much of a man
21:30as he is.
21:33I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
21:37But how could I ever look them in the eye?
21:40Kit and Edwina.
21:43If I didn't do everything I could to protect them.
21:48But...
21:50I need you.
21:55Sorry, Emma.
21:58I didn't know.
22:02You never have done before.
22:24You never have done before.
22:26People worried the Boer War would last for years, and look how quickly that ended.
22:30Weren't there two Boer Wars?
22:33Yes.
22:34The second one lasted three years.
22:39Still, I'm sure that this time next year we'll all be back to our normal lives,
22:43and everyone will be so grateful to you for your bravery, Edwin.
22:46Yes, I'm sure you'll be a huge asset on the battlefield.
22:49With all your experience wielding pens and fanning about the newsroom.
22:54I'm looking forward to the parades, when it's over.
22:58I expect there'll be some.
22:59Yeah, it's a parade.
23:01That should make all the death worth it.
23:08What?
23:09He's obviously not coming.
23:11He is.
23:12No.
23:15He isn't.
23:29Everyone's wondering where you are.
23:32I thought you'd be too busy drinking champagne, toasting the stupidest decision that everyone's ever made.
23:42Adam, it's not too late to tell him how you feel.
23:46I made that perfectly clear.
23:57I don't want you to have any regrets.
24:00They're poisonous.
24:03I wish I'd told Adele.
24:05Yes, perhaps if you had, instead of whatever it was you said that drove her back to the drink,
24:10she'd still be here.
24:28Edwina, love, listen.
24:30Do you understand what Daddy's saying?
24:33I've got to go away for a little while.
24:35Can I come?
24:37No, love.
24:40Daddy's got an important job to do.
24:42I'll be back before you know it.
24:44For Christmas.
24:49Yeah.
24:51For Christmas.
25:00You should sleep.
25:02You'll need it.
25:09It's for the birthdays.
25:12I've got to...
25:14I've got to...
25:15Edwina's 16th, which is...
25:19Impossible to imagine, isn't it?
25:24Will you, um...
25:29If I don't...
25:35You will.
25:39You will.
25:48You will.
25:57I don't know.
26:28I don't know.
26:58I don't know.
27:13I don't know.
27:38I don't know.
27:39I don't know.
27:45I don't know.
27:46I don't know.
28:10I don't know.
28:20I don't know.
28:55I don't know.
29:15I don't know.
29:30I don't know.
29:35I don't know.
29:36I don't know.
29:39I don't know.
29:43I don't know.
29:43I don't know.
29:46I don't know.
29:47I don't know.
29:49I don't know.
29:50I don't know.
30:07I don't know.
30:08I don't know.
30:38I don't know.
30:38I don't know.
30:40I don't know.
30:40I don't know.
30:56I don't know.
31:01I don't know.
31:03I don't know.
31:13I don't know.
31:19I don't know.
31:20I don't know.
31:29I don't know.
31:33I don't know.
31:36I don't know.
32:11I don't know.
32:12I love you.
32:16You don't.
32:18But that's okay.
32:22It's never made me regret a second of it.
32:26It's a privilege being your husband.
32:29But that's one that I won't let go of easily.
32:32So you can be sure I will find my way back to you.
32:44Turn around.
33:00I told you, didn't I?
33:04Aren't no good at these?
33:05It wasn't goodbye then, and it isn't now.
33:08Don't even say it.
33:10Say see you soon, because you will.
33:13You have to.
33:15There's no me without you, Shane O'Neill.
33:18Not since that first morning we met on the Mars.
33:22So don't go being the hero.
33:25I know that'll be hard for you, but...
33:28I need you back here.
33:39See you soon, then, Emma.
34:08Let's go!
34:10Let's go.
34:40Let's go.
35:36No sense us being at war, well they are.
35:41Very generous of you.
35:43I thought you must pass up this, aren't I?
35:48Listen to this.
35:50Remember to drink your tea while it's still hot.
35:52You often set it aside and forget when you're lost in your work.
35:57I swap it for a fresh one before you notice.
36:00And I've left a shawl on the back of your chair.
36:03Use it.
36:05You always feel the cold when the evening draft creeps in.
36:11He knows you pretty well.
36:12What are we supposed to do without them?
36:16We carry on.
36:23You should stay.
36:26Stay here.
36:28Not just tonight but until they come home.
36:32Get each other through it.
36:41But we won't be wallowing.
36:43You've got your presentation.
36:45I can't win without you.
36:47They'll never take me seriously.
36:48That's what a woman would say.
36:51Now a man with all your achievements and a proposal as good as yours.
36:57He would go in there and act like he'd already won.
37:07Adam.
37:09She killed my son.
37:13Who has?
37:16Adam, Edwin's not dead.
37:19He's...
37:20She'll pay.
37:22I'll make sure that woman pays.
37:25Who?
37:29Emma Hart.
37:32Dearest Jo.
37:34I don't know when or even if this letter will reach you.
37:37But I have to try.
37:39To tell you how sorry I am.
37:42Because you're right.
37:44A marriage should be about two partners.
37:46And I regret more than anything that I never gave you the chance to be mine.
37:52I've been so proud.
37:54So stubborn.
37:55Thinking I had to do it all on my own.
37:58That I didn't notice the sacrifices you made.
38:01The quiet strength you were offering.
38:04How you loved me.
38:05Supported me.
38:07And trusted me.
38:09Without asking for anything in return.
38:12It was unforgivable deciding to sell the shops.
38:15So I've taken them off the market.
38:18Yes.
38:19We are in significant debt.
38:22But some things are more important than money.
38:25But some things are more important than money.
38:34I've taken them off the market.
38:35I have every faith that I'll win the bid for the military uniform contract.
38:40Just as I have every faith that you'll come home to me.
38:44And when you do Joe.
38:46I'll be the partner you deserve.
38:49I promise you that.
38:50I will take you to the future.
38:56I'll be the first time.
38:57I'll be the first time.
39:00I'll be the first time.
39:16Gentlemen, our men, fathers, brothers, sons, husbands, including my own, are out on the
39:22fields of France fighting for king and country. The least we can do is provide them with the
39:27best possible uniforms to aid their path to victory. The most durable wool, the most
39:32functional designs, and I am the person to make that happen. I know I'm not the usual
39:38sort to stand before you. As you've likely observed, I'm not a man. But I ask you to
39:47pay attention not to who I am, but to what I'm offering. I am the proud owner of two
39:53mills and a factory full of workers poised to begin sewing our soldiers' uniforms immediately,
39:58subject to your approval of my designs. I've already begun producing the fabric needed at
40:03my own cost. I knew that inflation on the price of raw materials would be coming, and fast.
40:09So the day war was declared, I secured the wool needed to make 16,000 uniforms at a price of
40:14one shilling per pound. If you were to buy that wool today, you wouldn't be able to get
40:18it for less than one shilling and three pence. Tomorrow, it will be higher. And that's how
40:24I know that not one of the men you've heard from so far will be able to offer you a
40:27more
40:27competitive price than I can. Time is not a luxury we have, gentlemen. The war has begun.
40:33Pick me, and not only can I offer you the highest quality at the lowest price, but I can begin
40:38today.
40:46I've had an idea. And it's rather brilliant if I do say so myself.
40:51Oh, well, let's hear it. You should join the VAD. We can train together.
40:56Oh. It'll be so much more fun if it's the two of us. I really think you'd get something
41:01out of it.
41:03Well, I don't think so.
41:05Why not?
41:06Well, I don't think Adam would... I mean, he needs me here. Especially with Edwin gone.
41:13And what about what you need?
41:15Well, I... I don't... I'm... I'm fine.
41:21Are you?
41:23Yes.
41:27What?
41:29Nothing. It's just...
41:31You seem to spend a lot of time worrying about Mr Fairley's needs, but...
41:36He doesn't seem to give yours a second thought.
41:40What a thing to say. That's not true.
41:45Isn't it?
41:47No. I...
41:49Look, I know Adam can be...
41:53But he's been through an awful lot. I mean, he lost his wife.
41:57And you lost your sister?
41:59Yes. Yes, I did. I lost her.
42:00We both lost someone that we adored that day.
42:03And it was my fault, because I broke Adele's heart. I betrayed her.
42:07I drove her back to the drink.
42:08You broke her heart? All on your own? And what about Mr Fairley?
42:13I was the last person to speak to her.
42:15No, you weren't. I was.
42:19No, it was...
42:21Mr Fairley.
42:23I heard him.
42:24In Mrs Fairley's room.
42:26Arguing, saying the cruelest things only a few hours before she...
42:32Are you making this up?
42:34No.
42:36I swear.
42:41Thank you so much, Lod Acton. I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity.
42:45You're welcome.
42:46You've got my details, haven't you? If you have any further questions...
42:50Adam Fairley!
42:52Charlie!
42:53Good to see you, old boy!
42:54How long's it been?
42:56How's that horse of yours running?
42:58Huh?
42:59I'm going to insist that you dine with us again soon.
43:01I know, Olivia's just dying to see Penny.
43:05Now, regarding those uniforms...
43:07I think we could be the perfect conference.
43:09I want to be fair enough to be controlled.
43:31The contract lost.
43:34I lost.
43:36But it's okay.
43:38There'll be a way, won't there?
43:40Find a way to fix it.
43:42Fix everything.
43:45And I haven't come up with a plan yet.
43:47But I always do.
44:04Who?
44:07I don't know.
44:39Mummy, why are you crying?
44:43I love you.
44:47I love you, Edwina.
44:53No, I haven't heard from Edwina for a while.
44:57But I'll give her your regards.
45:01And watertight, yes?
45:05All right, goodbye.
45:15Would you send Paula in, please?
45:19No more secrets, Paula. Agreed?
45:22No more secrets.
45:24And I'd like you to contact the family, please.
45:27I believe I'm going to have that birthday party, after all.
45:30Ask Jerry to make travel arrangements.
45:33The whole clan.
45:34For this weekend.
45:35This weekend?
45:36Before Monday.
45:38That's right.
45:38My children can celebrate with me en route to their famous meeting.
45:43Let's make this an occasion to remember.
45:47We're going home.
45:56Good to be home.
45:58Always.
45:59We need to preserve our legacy at all costs.
46:02And I think I've got the answer.
46:03A partnership with the Fairleys.
46:04I would have spat if someone suggested it before now.
46:07Are all the traitors present?
46:10Let's get started, shall we?
