FunTranscript
00:22The Countess is here to see you, Mrs. Hart.
00:26Mummy, what a dreadful week for you.
00:29I just can't bear it.
00:30I said to the florist, your absolute best bouquet, though no roses.
00:33And the girl knew immediately they must be for you.
00:35How about that?
00:37Oh, those wretched papers.
00:39I was so pleased when you suggested lunch.
00:41Are you surviving?
00:42When have you known me not to?
00:44Hello, darling.
00:45I'd put patsies for 1.30.
00:46Will that do?
00:47Janet swear she saw Sinatra there only last Tuesday.
00:49My favourite thing to say is that she's done it all for her family,
00:52which is ludicrous, of course,
00:54for a woman who spent every moment of her adult life
00:56avoiding her family and making grand speeches
00:59about bloody revenge, which is pathetic.
01:02There's a downside, of course,
01:04to making certain one's children never want for anything at all.
01:09And that's being forced to watch them stroll through life,
01:13taking everything in their path for granted.
01:16Mummy, I'm so sorry.
01:17What would you like to explain first, my love?
01:20Your detailed expose to the press of my confidential medical records?
01:24Or your use, too, Mr. Fairley, of the word harridan?
01:29I can explain.
01:31Well, I'd love to hear it, darling.
01:34Truly, I'd love to understand.
01:38Because everything I've ever done has been for my family.
01:59I'm so sorry.
02:15Time sheets, Mr. Fowler.
02:17Thanks.
02:18It's all, well, at home.
02:27What about it?
02:28I know some of the staff at the hall were wondering if Emma might have been in touch with any
02:33news around now.
02:39It's been months since we saw her.
02:43It's been six months.
02:46Six and a half.
02:51She sends money every month.
02:54Postmark leads.
02:55She's got her head on her shoulders, Mr. Fowler.
02:59She gets on weight.
03:00No address, no news.
03:03Don't want us to worry.
03:05Anyway, it's all congratulations, Renaud, for your engagement.
03:12Have a late shift to keep awake.
03:13Come on.
03:29She's got her shoulders.
03:30Let's go, now.
03:31She's got her arms.
03:31Don't you too, right?
03:33Not?
03:33Don't you?
03:37Don't you?
03:47Now, Mrs. Fairweather.
03:49I've been up all night finishing this dress just for you.
03:53So I believe this will be exactly what you're after.
03:55Where do you find the time, Mrs. Hart?
03:57In your condition?
03:58There's a name for Mrs. Hart's condition.
04:01Tireless.
04:01Fact is, Mrs. Hart, I'm also in the family way.
04:04Congratulations, Mrs. Fairweather.
04:06Er, perhaps I could make you a skirt like mine with the drawstring waist.
04:09See? Wraps around my front like so.
04:11Well, come and see me and I'll get you measured up.
04:12See you soon.
04:19I've never had a shop assistant bring as much costume as you.
04:22It's all adding up.
04:24Three quarters for you, Mr. Lowther.
04:27And a quarter for...
04:29Your plan.
04:31With a capital P.
04:32Capital P for baby.
04:35I'm saving.
04:36Well, you're not saving energy.
04:38I'll sit down when the baby's born.
04:40That's how it works when you're a mother, isn't it?
04:42You do nothing but rest.
04:43Well, I'm not sure that is how it works.
04:45Mrs. Barlow, I was hoping you'd be in.
04:47You're gonna love this.
05:16Thank God.
05:23All safe and sound in there.
05:27I'm gonna keep you that way.
05:40I'm gonna keep you that way.
05:44I'm gonna keep you that way.
05:45I'm gonna keep you that way.ulated.
06:09I don't know.
06:32All right in there, I'm having a little play.
06:46Won't be long.
06:51Not slacking up, I hope, Mrs Hart?
06:53Lunch.
06:54Don't worry though, I've not stopped working.
06:56I don't forbid.
07:04Closing for the day already?
07:06She's never open.
07:11I think you'll be very pleased with what I've got for you today.
07:15Oh, the new silks are perfect.
07:18And to you, only three and six a yard.
07:21Shame I'm only paying you two and six then.
07:23Three shillings?
07:24Two and nine.
07:26Oh, you're a tyrant.
07:32Are those pin marks on those fingers?
07:34Mrs Hart, how long have you been working for Joel Lowther?
07:37Six months, is it?
07:38And every minute of that you work like a dog.
07:40People love to tell me to slow down, but babies don't write ahead and make appointments.
07:44And I am running out of time.
07:46The money's not coming in quick enough.
07:49Does your husband mind you working so hard?
07:53He's working too.
07:54I've told you, the Navy can't spare him.
07:57Well, he's missing out, is all I'd say.
08:01I expect you'll miss him too, being away from home.
08:04I miss my dad.
08:05I'm a brother.
08:07No time to miss anyone else.
08:09Anyway, I'm saving up so when the baby's born I can have two months off.
08:13Maybe even three, if I work hard in these last few weeks.
08:16It's looking like another record-breaking day.
08:20Teamwork, Mr Lowther?
08:21Ha!
08:22I don't think so.
08:23When I watch you selling, you don't have a mind like a woman's at all.
08:27Yours is more like a man's.
08:30Is there a difference?
08:33You're living here now, are you?
08:35You've got work to do.
08:40Is this the new cloth?
08:41Looks pricey.
08:42It was supposed to be.
08:44It's to replace the Fairley stuff, Mr Lowther.
08:46The fact is, customers can spot it.
08:48Cloth from the Fairley mill is just bad quality.
08:50Rotten, some might say.
08:56We've lost another cloth, Aldra.
08:58More complaints about the quality.
09:01A lot of that equipment is old and tired.
09:04And we can't keep arsing the men to work round the clock.
09:07Your usual grippers, we don't pay the plebs enough money.
09:09Now we're offering night-time hours.
09:10Suddenly they have to be home for their tea.
09:12They're not plebs.
09:13They're people.
09:14Who have rights and feelings.
09:18Oh, Priya!
09:20You're back!
09:23Sorry.
09:24Long day.
09:26Oh, you must be tired.
09:32Edwin, Priya and I were hoping that tomorrow we might get down to the real business of the week.
09:37Wedding planning.
09:39We should talk about churches, certainly.
09:42At some stage.
09:44I was hoping we might decide on a date, at least, while I'm here.
09:47Hm.
09:48Because your father's a busy man.
09:49So Bikram needs to make plans.
09:54So, we must get every wedding detail fixed, mustn't we, Edwin?
10:00He's preoccupied at work.
10:01Hm.
10:02Good old Edwin.
10:03Doing all he can to save the business.
10:06Hm.
10:10Yeah.
10:11Yeah, yeah.
10:14Yeah.
10:18Right here, that.
10:19Goin' back.
10:20Hello, multi.
10:22Deck long.
10:22Dead long.
10:28Oh my God.
10:31Oh my God.
10:44What the hell do you think you are?
10:47You should be ashamed of yourself.
10:49You don't just stroll in here when for months you can come near her.
10:51Well, sure, I'm here now when I can see she's been busy.
10:56Oh, my poor name. What the hell have you been playing at?
11:03Mr. R, you should know that your wife has been working tirelessly every minute.
11:09In the absence of anyone else bothering to...
11:11Mr. Klinsky, David, this is not my husband. This is just a friend. A dear friend. Mac. He barely knows
11:20my husband.
11:20Oh, you'd be surprised by how little. Well, I had no idea.
11:27I'll see you at closing time. After. See you soon.
11:40Adele? Brought you these.
11:45I was looking for a vase like Mother's, you know, that allowed the flowers to splay out.
11:50Do you remember that she always had such a way with flowers?
11:55Edwin rushed off early again.
11:58But work never stops at the mill. Not these days.
12:01I mean, Adam's barely home.
12:04I mean, you know, I hardly ever see him.
12:07He's barely here.
12:10Do you need more hot water, darling?
12:12Or anything, you know, anything to eat?
12:24Darling, I wonder if maybe you ought to get out.
12:30Do you think?
12:31Just get away from this place.
12:38I was wondering about Aunt Jessie's cottage by the sea.
12:42Would you like that?
12:44Remember that little beach down below and the gulls?
12:47And she'd love to have you. I know she would.
12:50You know, and you may just find that...
12:57Adele?
13:00Adele?
13:08Adele, please.
13:17Are those lily of the valley?
13:21Yes.
13:24Dior is, aren't they?
13:25There's hundreds of them out there.
13:28They do that.
13:30They're invasive.
13:32If left unchecked.
13:34Lily of the valley will simply take over the whole garden.
13:39You can't get rid of them.
13:53Well, find that vase.
14:13Oh, sorry.
14:14We're...
14:15Closed.
14:16Your guard dog's not with you, no?
14:19Mr. Kalinsky just does the deliveries.
14:21He's only being kind.
14:22Oh, kind, is he?
14:24As well as handsome.
14:31Like you were born to work here.
14:40Emma Harris, are you going to avoid looking at me for the whole rest of your life?
14:46What's going on, darling?
14:58Dad doesn't know I'm here.
15:00And he mustn't.
15:02I can't take trouble to his door.
15:07Not after, ma'am.
15:10I haven't seen him.
15:13I haven't seen him, love.
15:16How can I afford to bring up this baby by myself?
15:22Diamond.
15:27How the hell have you got yourself in this whole mess?
15:44It was a lad back home.
15:47You don't know him.
15:49He let me down.
15:52Then I'll thrash the living day lads out of him.
15:53No need.
15:55He said he'd marry me at first and run away to join the Navy.
15:58He said he'd marry me.
16:03And this?
16:06So nobody thinks bad of me?
16:10Also because I like remembering.
16:12Remembering him?
16:13Remembering I won't ever again let someone make me feel the way he did.
16:19Not till the day l die.
16:21And remembering what drives me now.
16:24What will drive me my whole life.
16:28Revenge.
16:33Emma, how are you going to look after the baby and work?
16:38I'm making dresses.
16:41And I'm good.
16:42I am.
16:43I get such a thrill seeing the money pile up.
16:47I've saved up for two months, which means that when the baby's born, I can stop a while.
16:56Did you drop something?
16:58You know I'll marry you, Emma Hart, and happily.
17:04It'd be an honour.
17:07Emma, will you marry me?
17:13You're the best man I know.
17:16Sure, to marry you would be a privilege.
17:18A burden, more like.
17:20Have you seen these shoulders?
17:21I could look after the both of you.
17:25I know.
17:27I know you would.
17:30But I've got it planned.
17:32I'm going to look after us myself.
17:35Somehow.
17:36I'm going to be a mother, Mac.
17:38A mum.
17:39I'm going to have a real baby.
17:41Most precious thing you can have.
17:43And more than anything I've ever done, I want to take care of it.
17:48Well, I could have at least, and I...
17:50Mac.
17:51You have the biggest heart I know.
17:55It's bursting.
17:56Which is why I want you to be able to give that heart to someone you love.
18:00For real.
18:01Not just a girl you feel sorry for.
18:03Ah, Emma, but...
18:04The answer's no.
18:07It's a no with the biggest thank you in the world.
18:20You might want to get under that seat with the sweeping brush.
18:25The dust is shocking.
18:38Good morning.
19:12Let me rent next door.
19:13Let me rent it from you and open a dress shop.
19:16My own shop filled with dresses made by me.
19:18Give me one reason why not.
19:20Oh, you only want one.
19:22Well, which reason do you want?
19:24That you've no experience running a shop?
19:26That you've no experience running a business of any kind?
19:29That you're barely 19?
19:30That you're pregnant?
19:32Mr Lowther, the ounce 12 and it's the same.
19:34I can do it.
19:35Mrs Hart, that's fanciful at best.
19:37Two people are filled in that shop this year.
19:39Two inefficient people?
19:40Mrs Cleveland, her stock was shoddy and too expensive for its quality.
19:43She didn't know her customers.
19:45I do.
19:46I know what kind of clothes they like.
19:47And I'm good.
19:48You know I am.
19:50And you said it yourself.
19:51I'm a grafter.
19:51I can sell.
19:52Which is why I can't afford to lose you from my shop.
19:55You wouldn't be losing me.
19:56We'll drive business to each other.
19:58Right now, when people come in, all they see is rolls of cloth.
20:01With my dress shop next door, you'll have a showroom for what that cloth can become.
20:04Double your profits in a month.
20:06Treble them, probably.
20:07Plus, I'll be your best customer.
20:09Every dress that I sell, I'll be buying the cloth from you.
20:11And the shop's empty, Mr Lowther.
20:13Gathering dust.
20:14I can take it off your hands today.
20:16Now.
20:17This minute.
20:18So you don't lose a moment's rent.
20:19Mrs Hart, you forget I know your circumstances.
20:22You live in my upstairs room.
20:24The deposit on that shop is sky high.
20:39I have enough in here for your deposit.
20:42And because I know you're nervous about me, which you won't be the moment you see the profits I bring
20:45in.
20:46I know you usually ask for four weeks' rent in advance.
20:49But I have enough in here for eight.
20:52It's all in here.
20:55Take it.
20:57Mrs Hart.
20:59Do I need to remind you?
21:01You're having a baby.
21:03That's a need to take care of.
21:05And it's why I'm absolutely certain that this is right.
21:10I'm absolutely certain that this is right.
21:14I can't believe you.
21:16I can't believe you.
21:18I can't believe you.
21:20I can't believe you.
21:28I can't believe you.
22:18Oh, I'm sorry.
22:19No, it's fine. I was just...
22:20I was just walking home.
22:21You're allowed to walk where you like.
22:26Nice aim. You got there?
22:27I've sat through three days now
22:29of your aunt talking about bridal bouquets
22:31and of you and your father shouting at each other about looms.
22:34I had some steam to let off.
22:43Oh!
22:45So, let's see.
22:48Not bad, not bad.
22:49Not bad.
22:52Terrible.
22:54Dreadful.
22:57Well, they'll be wondering about dinner.
22:59Yes.
23:04You know, when you asked me to marry you,
23:06I thought we had a connection.
23:09That you were optimistic, like me.
23:12You seemed starry-eyed.
23:15And I wasn't sure if we made each other's hearts soar.
23:17Not in the way people talk about hearts soaring in books.
23:21You probably don't read those kind of books.
23:23Not really.
23:25But you know the concept
23:27of hearts soaring?
23:31Yes.
23:32Anyway, I just wanted to say
23:35not everyone gets that.
23:37The hearts soaring.
23:39That's not what life is,
23:40I don't think.
23:42But recently,
23:43the stars have left those eyes of yours,
23:45and
23:46I know this engagement pleases your father,
23:49and he's not an easy man to please,
23:50but
23:53we could just walk away.
23:59There's a lot to be said for pleasing people.
24:04And not just parents.
24:07Priya,
24:09I wouldn't have asked you.
24:12I wouldn't have considered
24:13if I had intended
24:16somehow
24:19to do my very best to please you.
24:23Well, let me know, will you?
24:27When the trying to please me starts.
24:54Mother,
24:55how are you?
24:59I suppose I
25:00wanted to see you.
25:04If you don't mind.
25:17Because everything just feels a bit
25:21wrong somehow.
25:23Priya's a sweet girl in many ways.
25:25Where is your father?
25:30He never comes to me.
25:32Your father never comes anywhere near me.
25:34Where is he?
25:36He's
25:37not back yet.
25:39I don't know.
25:40He's been busy at the mill.
25:41But does he not know that I'm here, Edwin?
25:45And I'm not nobody.
25:49I'm not nobody.
25:55But take your hands off.
26:04Stop it!
26:08Get out!
26:11Sorry.
26:12Sorry.
26:26Stop it.
26:27Stop it.
26:28Stop it.
26:31Stop it.
26:32Stop it.
26:33Stop it.
26:33Stop it.
26:34It's not over there.
26:53I'm so proud of you.
26:57Shelves here, rails of dresses here and here,
27:00and a fitting area here.
27:02And also a range of elasticated skirts for pregnant women.
27:05And a chair, for them, but also for people like you.
27:09Menfolk.
27:11And there'll be a fire. The shop will always be warm.
27:14And you'll pay her to heat it, will you?
27:15Yes, and it'll be worth it, because people will want to come.
27:18And every customer will be greeted by name.
27:20And Emma, in a few weeks' time, the baby.
27:27I'll manage.
27:29Good night.
27:42Good night.
27:47Good night.
28:02Oh, my God.
28:34Oh, my God.
28:49Oh, my God.
28:52Oh, my God.
28:54Oh, my God.
28:56Move.
28:57Move.
28:58Move.
29:00What's happening?
29:01It overheated.
29:03It's empty.
29:04No one in there.
29:07Who's in there?
29:08Who?
29:08My brother.
29:10Edwin.
29:11Edwin.
29:11Edwin went through.
29:18We can do this.
29:26We can do this.
29:27Can't we?
29:29Can't we?
29:31Of course we can.
29:34I'm here.
29:36We're alone.
29:37We can do it together.
29:41Stop.
29:43Oh, my God.
29:48Oh, my God.
29:59Oh, my God.
30:02Oh, my God.
30:17Mom!
30:20Mom!
30:22Mom!
30:37Mom!
30:55Mom!
30:57Mom!
30:58Mom!
30:59Mom!
30:59Mom!
31:09And my heart.
31:33Is there nothing in the whole world you can't do?
32:03Mother loved to say I spent my christening pulling faces at the vicar.
32:10This is how mum must have felt about me.
32:13She'd be so sad there's no christening now.
32:17Vickers don't look kindly on mothers like me.
32:22Who needs a church or a font?
32:29Now, what are you naming her?
32:31Because my vornine, lucky you, the decision's all yours.
32:35On account of her father.
32:38Your local lad, being off on his boat.
32:44Edwina is a name.
32:59Well, what an elegant name.
33:03Edwina Shane Hart.
33:08Named after her Uncle Mark.
33:11Best man I know.
33:20Edwina Shane Hart.
33:27In the name of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
33:35May you be healthy, wealthy and wise.
33:40No sense hadn't beautiful.
33:42Because look at her mother.
33:50She didn't even cry.
33:55So what has she got to cry about?
34:00What are you going to say when the register asks for her father's name?
34:07Unknown.
34:09Ah, Emma.
34:11Don't go making her unknown.
34:13Don't give her that.
34:17Put me.
34:20Mac.
34:22It's such a responsibility.
34:24And now, do I have to be telling you again about these shoulders?
34:39Well, darling, how do you feel?
34:46Safe.
34:48Almost.
34:50I'm beginning to feel me and Edwina might be safe.
34:55Sure if that little girl's not the luckiest in the world.
35:00No one in my family's going to suffer.
35:02Not ever again.
35:22Keep working away.
35:24You know, when the daughter starts to be gone.
35:24No one is a boy.
35:26We will.
35:26No one is a daughter.
35:26No one is a baby.
35:29No one is a woman.
35:29No one will be.
35:31We are fully aware of God.
35:32Just care.
35:35No one is a daughter.
35:36No one is a sister-in-law.
35:37No.
35:38No one is a boy.
35:38Let's go.
36:28Do you mind, darling?
36:34Stay, Olivia.
36:36Please.
36:43I will stay in this house while my son needs me.
36:47Then, the moment Edwin's well, I need to be too.
36:52I need to leave.
37:07My darling, I've not been the mother you deserve.
37:15And I'm so sorry.
37:19But I promise I will put this right.
37:24I promise you.
37:39It's all right.
37:40I'm coming.
37:42I just need...
37:46I need to be too...
37:49I need to be too...
38:04I need to be too...
38:14Stop!
38:17Stop!
38:20Stop!
38:44Stop!
38:58You're my baby girl.
39:01Yes, you are.
39:04And Edwina, you are so loved.
39:06So loved.
39:09And I won't let anything happen to you.
39:13I'll take care of you.
39:17And you have the best of everything.
39:22I promise you.
39:25You know, those families turned their back on us.
39:29Because they think they're better than us, that's what they think.
39:33And if it takes my whole life,
39:35all of my energy and everything I've got,
39:37I'm going to prove to them that they're wrong.
39:44I will keep you safe.
39:48And if I have to make sacrifices,
39:51give a few things up, then I will do.
39:54If it means you're taken care of,
39:56I'll sacrifice anything in the world.
39:58I will.
40:00No.
40:09No.
40:22No.
40:24No.
40:25No.
40:27No.

46:15He came in to collect the paperwork for the reopening of his magazine.
46:44I've never met a woman like you.
46:46Invisible husband.
46:47Invisible baby.
46:49Do you think it's a coincidence his interest in you?
46:54I need to go back to see my family.
46:57Dad?
46:58This is all about revenge.
47:00Yes, it is.
47:01And it feels wonderful.
47:22I love you.
47:26To be continued.
