00:00Let's go!
00:45How are those helicopter lessons coming along, Stephen?
00:49I might set up a few for myself.
00:53Mrs. Hart, I need two minutes of your time.
00:56One will be more than ample, Mr. Fairley.
00:59I've come with a warning.
01:02Theatrical.
01:03Mrs. Hart, I'm assuming you haven't seen the news about the crash in Hart's share prices
01:08and about the leak.
01:10A source from inside your company has intimated to the press that you're fragile, losing control.
01:20They've provided them with your confidential medical records.
01:25One of a whole line of casseroles.
01:28And with Hart stocks already 12% down on the LSE, things are looking bleak for the world's
01:33richest woman, Emma Hart, whose retail empire is reeling today from revelations about her
01:37health status.
01:40Stephen?
01:41Yes, Mrs. Hart?
01:41I'm going to walk.
01:43Ma'am?
01:43Mrs. Hart, this isn't an easy thing to broach, but I believe...
01:49Thanks.
02:06Mrs. Hart!
02:07Mrs. Hart!
02:07I hope my warning you proves I can be trusted.
02:11Hello?
02:12Mrs. Hart.
02:12Morning, Ted.
02:15Hello?
02:16Hello?
02:16Hello?
02:26Hello?
02:30Hello?
02:32Hello?
02:33Hello?
02:33Hello?
02:33Happy anniversary, Bernie.
02:36That sure rolls around.
02:38My perfumes, ground floor.
02:40Jewelry, floor three.
02:42Otherwise, dog houses, floor six.
02:45My regards to Cheryl.
02:47Please, I know this must be a shop.
02:49A friend of yours, Mrs. Hart?
02:51Hardly.
02:52Mrs. Hart, please, let me help.
02:53I know how hard you've worked for all this.
02:55Now the papers are saying you're finished.
02:57Mrs. Hart!
03:09Grandy, we tried to get a message to you.
03:11What do we know?
03:11Are you all right?
03:12Those hospital records they have, are they...
03:14A complete fabrication.
03:15Where's it come from, this league?
03:17We've no idea, but it's rather detailed, I'm afraid.
03:19It appears one of the board.
03:21We need to control the narrative with press releases.
03:24A full-page spread in every outlet you own.
03:26Oh, and a double in those I don't.
03:30Accountants.
03:31Henry's an Aspen, Mrs. Hart, at his daughter's wedding.
03:33And shares are down 14% now.
03:36Jerry!
03:50I took the stairs.
03:54One unwelcome appearance of a morning might be considered an intrusion.
04:00Two verges on trespass.
04:02Jerry, send in security.
04:04There's a wasp at the picnic.
04:06Mrs. Hart, I'm trying to earn your trust, and I hope perhaps this endless feud...
04:10Oh, I wouldn't call it a feud.
04:13What would you call it then?
04:14Well, I don't get involved in semantics.
04:17A war?
04:19It's vital to me you realise I am better than the rest of my family.
04:22Well, that's an exceptionally unambitious claim.
04:26Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mole to unearth.
04:29But it's not just some anonymous board member.
04:32Mrs. Hart, I know who it is.
04:36It's your children.
04:40If you think for one moment that I'd trust you, Mr. Fairley...
04:46I know you have dedicated your entire life to the hatred of my family.
04:50Oh, now, you're quite wrong, Mr. Fairley.
04:54Hatred happens in secret, with neither purpose nor aspiration.
04:59No, what I've dedicated my life to...
05:02is revenge.
05:34I'm looking for Fairley Hall.
05:37Sorry to startle you.
05:39I'm, uh, repairing their chimneys.
05:46Shane O'Neil is the name.
05:49But the whole world calls me Mac.
05:57If you can keep up, you can follow.
06:12Your mum calls at the top of the world.
06:18Keep up!
06:35Well, I think that'll do with me.
06:38What do you reckon?
06:40Ever smelt a rose? That had a wasp in it.
06:57Edwin.
06:57Emma.
07:01I thought you didn't graduate till summer.
07:04Any excuse to come home?
07:09Well, you'll have missed your family.
07:12Have you met my Fairley?
07:15Father's hosting a weekend for some dignitary or other.
07:19Supposed to impress them.
07:21Well, good luck.
07:22Being impressive.
07:26Emma.
07:36Master, then you look.
07:39For the chimneys, Shane O'Neil, that the whole world calls a Mac.
07:44This is Edwin.
07:46Master Edwin.
07:50Emma Hart!
07:59Sorry.
08:07Right.
08:08Pay attention, you lot.
08:09Mary.
08:10Beds, baths, bedpans.
08:12Holly.
08:13In with the mistress, as usual.
08:15Finally.
08:18Emma.
08:19Silverware, grates, glassware, all stairs and floors.
08:22And on time in future.
08:46Ahhhh!
09:12Perhaps you'd like to treat yourself to some toast with that jam.
09:16What a ration in all things?
09:19Except preserves.
09:23Did your father tell you how cleverly he ironed out his issue with that foreman?
09:27Yes. All ships shape at the mill, largely, thanks to you.
09:32Well, if Sir Vikram's impressed with you, it would all have been worthwhile.
09:37Edwin, did I tell you?
09:38The Chandras of Vikram and his daughter Priya are coming to us straight from his trading meetings at Downing Street.
09:45You did say yes.
09:47Gosh, it's...
09:48We must do our very best to get the Chandras on side.
09:52Let's see if we can't do our bit for Anglo-Indian relations.
09:56Well, Edwin never lets anyone down.
10:01Let's go.
10:11Let's go.
10:19Let's go.
10:24Let's go.
10:38Emma.
10:40What are you doing?
10:41That kiss.
10:42The morning I left.
10:43In the stable.
10:44We mustn't.
10:45We never should have.
10:46I know.
10:46We've resisted for so long.
10:48But your lips, the taste of your mouth, it's all I can think about.
10:52We can.
10:53If they catch us.
10:54I don't care.
10:56Do you?
10:56Yes.
10:57You don't have a job to lose.
10:58Emma, this isn't some whim.
11:01This is you and me.
11:03Running, laughing.
11:04Telling each other everything.
11:07But it's different now, isn't it?
11:09Since that kiss, it's changed.
11:11And how can it not be better?
11:12Emma.
11:13I know you, Emma.
11:15I know you feel it too.
11:18I can't.
11:20I don't.
11:22I do.
11:23I do.
11:24Of course I do.
11:25But I mustn't.
11:26I mustn't.
11:44Something on your mind?
11:48Someone?
11:50Ma'am.
11:52I know those mill boys finish early on a Saturday, but you stay focused, you hear?
11:59Did you get your extra dining money?
12:01I have.
12:06Keep climbing, Emma.
12:10You're talented.
12:12Whether you're dressmaking, you've an eye.
12:15I've got two.
12:17And if you're smart, which I know you are, you can get out to Fairleigh.
12:22Don't be like me, you hear?
12:25Remember your plan with a capital P.
12:29Get out and get on.
12:32Or the rest of us, if we're born in Fairleigh, we'll die here.
12:38But you won't get trapped.
12:40Remember, without money, you're vulnerable.
12:43So stay focused.
12:45And if a chance comes, you grab it.
12:50You hear me?
12:59McQueen!
13:00So don't get distracted.
13:02Don't take your eye off the board.
13:04Keep thinking ahead.
13:05Three moves, at least.
13:08Sigh.
13:21We'll finish tomorrow, shall we?
13:24Night, love.
13:26She's tired again.
13:28I was thinking, might we find money to at least talk to a doctor?
13:31We won't afford medicine.
13:34Are your mum all right?
13:38She's fine.
13:40Shh.
13:42You sleep.
14:01Well that's football for you, son.
14:03Tell you now, I don't know how Bradford didn't have got a Catting Hill's chance against Newcastle after that show
14:07at Blackburn.
14:08Blackburn.
14:09Yeah, look.
14:10Dreadful results.
14:11Dreadful.
14:12Lamb's not burning up as much as last night.
14:14No?
14:16She's a fighter.
14:17Your mum, she fights.
14:18Like me.
14:19I can fight, can't I, Dad?
14:21Aye, look at him here.
14:23Heavyweight, aren't you, son?
14:24Go on, get him in the belly.
14:25Go on, big man.
14:27I'll see what you've got, son.
14:30You know, your dad's getting old, lad.
14:32Small but powerful.
14:33Look at that.
14:35Frank.
14:35Hey.
14:38He's had a slice already.
14:40Have a good day, Dad.
14:42It's all right.
14:43It's bloody hell.
14:45Small, but greedy, more like.
15:05You just talk so nice.
15:08Get up.
15:08If they catch you, I can walk after myself.
15:39Polly.
15:43Well, look at that.
15:45My husband finally come to see me.
15:47I had time to kill.
15:50Flatterer.
15:55I like your shirt.
15:57It's ancient.
15:58Well, a bit like me then.
16:00Hmm.
16:01Perhaps that's why I like it.
16:06How do I seem to you, Adam?
16:08I hate not to live up to your expectations.
16:11Every man has the right to expect his mad wife in the attic to behave appropriately.
16:24Hmm.
16:29I shouldn't have come.
16:34But you wanted to come.
16:40Oh!
16:42I'm always here, Squire Fair.
16:46I'm watching from the window, wondering if you'll come.
16:49When you're riding your horses, holding on tight.
16:52No.
16:58Throw me.
17:00Ah!
17:04Ah!
17:06Ah!
17:16Ah!
17:18Ah!
17:18Ah!
17:18Ah!
17:20Ah!
17:24Where is Polly?
17:25Running an errand for Master Gerald.
17:29I feel for her.
17:30Never ends well when worlds collide.
17:35PHONE RINGS
17:37PHONE RINGS
17:39Mrs Fairley's waiting.
17:42Polly's on an errand.
17:44She does realise she's the lady's maid.
17:47She's got responsibilities.
17:51I'll take it.
18:05PHONE RINGS
18:13You're not Polly.
18:14I'm Emma, Mrs Fairley.
18:15Emma Hart.
18:17Well, Emma Hart.
18:19My husband is leaving, but don't worry.
18:22He always comes back again.
18:24We're busy downstairs.
18:26There's a party this weekend.
18:27I like parties.
18:29Yes, but my bad wife never dares leave her room.
18:33How many years, Adele, since you settled downstairs?
18:38It's not a big event.
18:40It's only family and a few locals.
18:42Are you trying to remove me from this family?
18:44Oh, you removed yourself from this family a long time ago.
18:47Olivia will be there.
18:49Can I...
18:49Wife's sister isn't a substitute for a wife, Adam.
18:52I only mean that she knows the business, and I think it would be safer...
18:55I can be safe.
18:58I can be charming.
19:00Don't you think, Adam?
19:03Fine.
19:05Is today the day, Adele?
19:08Can you find the courage?
19:18Come down, sirs.
19:22What you need to understand is we work damn hard on this Chandra deal.
19:26We!
19:26A lot of clever people, Adele.
19:28Everyone of whom is sober and fully dressed.
19:42Why don't you sit down, Mrs Fairley? Sit down.
19:46And just breathe.
19:47Slow, breathe.
19:49Kenneth Adams.
19:51No!
20:11Millennials.
20:12Wow.
20:15No teeth!
20:15Yeah, it's okay too much.
20:19I was just watering.
20:24The plants, obviously.
20:33Have you seen Adele?
20:38How is she?
20:40Much the same.
20:42Lost.
20:52Do you ever get frightened?
20:55Yes, of course. You're a woman.
21:00Men get frightened too.
21:02Oh, men are only frightened of boredom and dying.
21:07Neither of those worry me.
21:10What is it then, Mrs Fairley?
21:12What scares you?
21:15I'm frightened of disappearing.
21:18Of being forgotten.
21:20Most people just assume you're nobody and then dismiss you.
21:24Do you know that?
21:27Yes, I do.
21:31Every morning, I get dressed.
21:35And I do my hair.
21:37And I have every intention of going down to breakfast.
21:41Or to some fabulous party.
21:44Like when I was a girl.
21:46And some days, I try so hard to leave the room.
21:51But it all feels too much.
21:54So, I have to find other ways to get Adam's attention.
22:03Meanwhile, my sister swans around downstairs, doing everything I should do.
22:10She seems to find the world easy.
22:14But you're the lady of the house, Mrs Fairley.
22:16You have such lovely things.
22:18Oh.
22:19Your clothes.
22:20Well, I have marvellous clothes.
22:21And you've got your husband.
22:23And your sons.
22:25My babies.
22:26Well, your sister's got none of those.
22:28So I expect she might be frightened of you.
22:35Oh, is it?
22:50Are you a bush?
22:52Well spotted.
22:54Lonely business, being a master of disguise.
23:01How's your plan, Emma?
23:02Still coming on?
23:04Of course.
23:05I'm doing my mending.
23:06If I can make my wages up before she thinks a week, I might be able to get to lead.
23:10Emma?
23:12Emma Hart!
23:13You're a visitor.
23:25Dad says you ought to come.
23:26Hi, Emma.
23:37Emma.
23:38No.
23:39No.
23:40Emma.
23:40Go away from me.
23:41I'll just throw you down.
23:42Don't be daft.
23:43We have to both go.
23:44Honest.
23:44I'll say goodbye.
23:45You'll go.
23:47Please.
23:48Please.
23:48Go.
23:49I'm sorry.
23:51I love you.
23:53Go.
23:54Go.
23:55Go.
24:20I'm coming, Mom.
24:36I've got it, Emma.
24:38I've got it.
24:38You go.
24:41You go.
24:41You go.
24:52You go.
24:53Look at me.
24:56She's not left, love.
24:59Mum.
25:01I've got it.
25:01It's me.
25:02It's Emma.
25:06I waited for you.
25:11I'm scared.
25:14Get out.
25:15Get on, Emma.
25:17You hear me?
25:19Promise me?
25:20I promise.
25:22And my baby.
25:24Is he here?
25:25I'm here.
25:32Now where is your dad?
25:34I'm here, love.
25:39I'm here.
25:41It's time.
25:45Dad!
25:47Dad, what are you doing?
25:49I don't know.
25:50I've got you now, love.
25:52Dad. Oh, no.
25:54What are you doing?
25:56Dad!
25:59Dad!

26:24Dad!
26:27No, not yet.
26:28No, no.
26:30Dad!
26:31We're going to the trumpet world.
26:33That's where we've got to be.
26:55I'm so sorry.
26:58I'm so sorry.
27:00I'm so sorry.
27:03I've really tried for you.
27:04I'm so sorry.
27:05I've really tried for you.
27:12You rest now.
27:33I'm so sorry.
27:33I'm so sorry.

33:49Mothers, come and go.
33:51That is how life works in my heart.
33:54And jobs are the same if you're not careful.
34:01We always used to look out for each other.

34:26I'm sorry.
34:28I'm so sorry about your mother.
34:31When I grow up, I won't ever be part.
34:34I won't ever want for anything like my mam did every last second of her life.
34:38None of my family will.
34:39I promise you that.
34:40I promise you.
34:41Emma, you've got me.
34:41My world's not yours.
34:43My father breaks his back holding bricks while your father sits ordering lunch while his workers half-starved.
34:49Your family will want you to marry some rich girls so that when you're a fancy lawyer she'll get writing.
34:56Emma, listen to me.
34:58You're talking about other people.
35:01Not the two of us.
35:03You and I are just the same.
35:08Only one of us is covered in egg.
35:17What's all this, Frank?
35:19Eh?
35:23I bumped me head.
35:28My mam always used to kiss it better.
35:33But also...
35:35Where do I keep bloody bumping it?
35:40Because you're a hooligan.
35:42And foul mouth too.
35:45Come on.
35:47I'll cry until the bloody washing up's done.
35:59This party today, I should go.
36:02Shouldn't I?
36:03I must, but...
36:05Will I survive?
36:08When I'm drinking, I might do anything.
36:11Which is, of course, the curse and the bliss of it.
36:13There's your answer.
36:14No drinking.
36:15Let's get your dress for now, Mrs Fairley.
36:17Then see what comes next.
36:18Is it beautiful enough, do you think?
36:21If I just take these roses off?
36:23Oh, no.
36:24You'll ruin it.
36:26It'll be drab, won't it?
36:27It won't, Mrs Fairley.
36:28It'll be elegant.
36:30I can change the neckline.
36:31These sleeves.
36:32Maybe even a slit in the skirt.
36:34Trust me.
36:41I remember having your skin.
36:46Just keep breathing, Mrs Fairley.
36:49And when you're nervous,
36:51put your hand on your heart
36:53and check it's still there.
37:09You'll go downstairs and look kindly at your sister.
37:12You'll tell your stories
37:14and let the whole room admire you.
37:16You can do it, Mrs Fairley.
37:18Call her as she comes.
37:50I'm sorry.
37:51May I?
37:57You've been very quiet.
37:59Are you nervous about the party?
38:01Oh, no, I'm fine.
38:07It's stupid.
38:09Tell me.
38:13I know I'm only here to fill in for my sister.
38:16I'm only playing the part of...
38:20But some days it feels real.
38:22It does.
38:23It feels real to me, too, sometimes.
38:29I barely used to eat in the morning, you know.
38:33There was no one to share things with.
38:36I had no conversation, no partner,
38:39and now it's...
38:44you.
39:01Uh...
39:02Sorry.
39:03I... I should, uh...
39:27See, the trick is to not let any of the ringleaders on the mill floor think they have the upper
39:32hand.
39:32Although, in the case of the girl that had the accent, it's the only hand she's got.
39:37What about you, Edwin?
39:39Any thoughts on keeping workers in check?
39:43Truthfully, sir, I'm not sure it's up to us to actually...
39:46I'm afraid we have an idealist on our hands, Sir Vigra.
39:51But, he's a bright lad.
39:54Well, Edwin, if you are a free thinker, you sound the same as Priya here. Isn't that right, Priya?
40:00Depends on how free he is and what he thinks about.
40:09It goes without saying, doesn't it, Adam, that anyone who invests in our mill will benefit from the unprecedented profit
40:15margins that we mentioned earlier.
40:19You must be a busy man, Squirefell.
40:21A sister-in-law never off duty and, I hear, a wife upstairs.
40:25Yes. Yes. My wife sends her apologies. She's unwell.
40:35A party? For little old me?
41:01Oh, Olivia, you look charming.
41:08Adele, how wonderful to see you up and about.
41:15Oh, goodness. Darling. What a dress. You're a picture.
41:23It's a big room. This is my wife.
41:38We are the same, Emma.
41:42We're just the same.
41:51Though, admittedly, right now, I feel a fair bit sillier than you.
41:54It's a bit sharper, in fact, than a shell and so on.
41:57You're supposed to be impressing them inside.
42:00They'll be around.
42:01I don't care about any of them.
42:03It is wicked here. You're quite right.
42:06It's unbearable.
42:10So it's neither of us, Barrett.
42:20Come on.
42:25Come on.
42:43You're beautiful.
42:45You're beautiful.
42:47I'm covered in egg.
43:11You're getting it everywhere.
43:16There'll be such a row if I'm not back.
43:20Do you want to go back?
43:36You're all wet.
43:38You're not cold.
44:01What is it?
44:04Rings.
44:08Who's there there?
44:14I'd never hurt you, Emma.
44:18But we mustn't.
44:21I'd never hurt you, Emma.
44:23I'm not good.
44:32Goodbye, Maria.
44:35Bye.
44:38Bye.
44:39Bye.
44:40Bye.
44:41Bye.
44:43Bye.
44:46Bye.
44:47Bye.
44:48Bye.
44:49Bye.
44:49Bye.
45:03I love you Emma. I love you my whole life.
45:20I love you.
45:55Oh, yes, Mr. Fairley. After everything your family did to me, I've dedicated my entire life to revenge.
46:13There must be some boy that you want to make positively feral, is there?
46:17Don't you go making that mistake of thinking wrong with me.
46:21Betrayal is in his blood. A betrayal can creep up on you.
46:25You want to take advantage of me, do you? I'm going to get fired.
46:29Who do you think you're wrong?
