FunTranscript
00:19I'm going to ask Jerry to arrange a lunch with your aunt.
00:24Are you sure, Grandy?
00:26You know you're the only one of the family I trust, don't you, darling?
00:31You know, the family are all desperate to arrange a surprise party for your birthday.
00:36Oh, God preserve me.
00:38I know you hate surprises.
00:39Well, they're just always so much nicer to give than to receive.
00:44Will you let me take that away? Stop me listening to it.
00:46No, thank you. It's good for me to get to grips with modern technology.
00:51OK.
01:05Mr. Pelley, most mothers spend a lifetime loving their family, but our mother has spent a lifetime hating yours.
01:13Who do you think you are?
01:15I think I'm no one, sir.
01:17No!
01:20Apparently, every one of them wronged her, whatever that means.
01:29They're sacking me, aren't they? Because of last night, the dress. I'm dismissed.
01:32No, no. Father knows it was one of mother's games. I made sure of that.
01:37But he's sending me to London.
01:41When?
01:41Right now. There's a carriage waiting for me. I couldn't leave without saying goodbye. They're waiting.
01:46Goodbye? How long will you be gone for?
01:49A month. I couldn't bear it either, the thought of being away from you.
01:53When? What does he want you to do?
01:55He's got it in his head that I can somehow improve the relations with the chargeress.
01:59Relations?
02:01With the daughter? I knew this would happen. I knew it. They want you to be with her.
02:06I don't care what they want. I want you.
02:11I have to go before someone comes looking for me.
02:15But...
02:15Here.
02:17I've marked the date.
02:18So you can count down the date.
02:20Just know I'll be hating every second with them.
02:22Until I come home to you.
02:24Edward!
02:26I love you.
02:29I love you too.
02:31Edward!
02:31Edward!
02:34Edward!
02:37Edward!
02:38I don't know.
03:08I don't know.
03:38It sounds bad again.
03:46I had to.
03:48No one's listening to me.
03:50Oh, God.
03:51What have you done now?
03:52Where are you hurt?
03:53Just a cut on her hand.
03:55Are you sure she's bleeding?
03:56I'm sure.
03:57Looks worse than it is.
03:59I think I'm dying.
04:00No, you're not.
04:01You're not.
04:02My hair.
04:03It's perfectly normal, darling.
04:05You're just working yourself up.
04:06Get Adam.
04:07I need Adam.
04:08I'm not sure where he is.
04:10You're keeping him from me, aren't you?
04:12No, no.
04:13Stopping you from stealing me.
04:15Calm.
04:15Calm.
04:19Emma.
04:24Come on.
04:26Come on.
04:27Into bed.
04:30We'll clean you up once you've had a rest.
04:32You tell Squire fairly.
04:35Tell him he has to come.
04:37He's my husband.
04:42Is she all right?
04:44No, she's quite the opposite of all right.
04:48And that's down to us.
04:49She was on well long before there was any sort of us.
04:53Not like this.
04:54You'd know if you'd been to see her these last few weeks.
04:56I didn't think you'd want me to.
04:58We must take care of her.
04:59Now more than ever.
05:02She's barely eaten or drunk anything in days.
05:04Not even a sherry.
05:06She's so desperate for you to visit.
05:11I know you're feeling as guilty as I am.
05:16Although you and I haven't.
05:18I mean, not since.
05:22And yet we lain together every night.
05:24We've shown great restraint.
05:30A cup of tea.
05:32A chat with her.
05:33That's all.
05:34It's just seeing her like that.
05:37When she's that bad.
05:39I can't stand it.
05:47Right.
05:49See you at breakfast.
05:56Squire fairly was just...
06:01I've not seen Squire fairly this morning, Miss Wainwright.
06:04I expect she's still in bed.
06:12I love my sister.
06:18Of course.
06:19And you're very good to her, Miss Wainwright.
06:22It's not easy loving someone so unwell.
06:24It's been very hard on Squire fairly, too.
06:28But since you came to help, he seems much lighter.
06:33Do you think so?
06:35They say he'd be lost without you.
06:37We all would.
06:41I hope you're as trustworthy as you seem, Emma.
06:44I am, Miss Wainwright.
06:46You have my word.
06:52I have been meaning to speak to you, though, Miss Wainwright.
06:55Seeing as it's you who runs the house now, isn't it?
06:58You who makes the decisions.
07:00Why?
07:00Is there a problem?
07:02I'm after solving it.
07:03The way Murgatroyd has us doing all the chores,
07:05there's a more better way to do it.
07:06To get it done faster.
07:08More efficient, do you mean?
07:10Efficient?
07:11Yes, Miss.
07:11Exactly.
07:12Efficient.
07:13If we were to divvy the chores up different,
07:15change the order,
07:16I wrote it all down.
07:17I would think it can work.
07:19But Murgatroyd won't even read it.
07:21He's stuck in his ways.
07:23Thinks he knows better because he's a man.
07:27But it's not up to him, though, is it?
07:30I can see you're in charge these days.
07:34Well, do you have it with you, this timetable of yours?
07:45You've put a lot of thought into this.
07:51It's impressive.
07:54Truly.
07:56It's really very impressive indeed.
08:01I'll make sure it's implemented from today.
08:07Oh, and could you make sure there's some champagne on ice?
08:12Yes, Miss Wainwright.
08:13Are you expecting to be celebrating something?
08:14We're hoping to hear from Edwin today.
08:17It's been three months.
08:18Surely he's finally got round to proposing.
08:21So, there may be a wedding on the cards.
08:25I love weddings.
08:27Don't you?
08:28I've never been to one, Miss.
08:43Emma Hart.
08:44That's me done.
08:46All chimneys pointed in the right direction.
08:48What?
08:49You leaving today?
08:50Tomorrow.
08:51First thing.
08:52I'm a wanderer.
08:55You've not been crying, have you?
08:57No.
08:58She's got a bit of soot in me.
08:59That's all.
09:00Oh, well, I'd say that'll be my fault.
09:02Let's have a look.
09:03It's fine now.
09:11I can't see anything.
09:13Not even an eyeball?
09:14It's worse than I thought.
09:18You're going to be all right.
09:20Are you, Emma?
09:23Well, I was.
09:24So, you told me you're abandoning me in this godforsaken place.
09:30I...
09:32Come.
09:34What?
09:36Come with me.
09:37Why not?
09:38I have a job on a big house down south.
09:41It'd be work for you too, I'm sure of it.
09:43Train leaves at six.
09:46I can't afford a train.
09:47Ah, well, I could just about cover a ticket for you too.
09:51No, I couldn't ask you to.
09:52I'm sure you can pay me back when you earn your big fortune.
09:56What's keeping you here?
09:57What are you waiting for?
09:59What about...
10:00Oh, your plan with a capital P.
10:03Emma, isn't this exactly what that was?
10:06Isn't this what your mother wanted you to do?
10:09This place is a dead end, my vornine.
10:11The kind you get stuck in.
10:13And I cannot bear the thought of the happening to you, not you.
10:17I cannot.
10:19Tomorrow?
10:20I don't know if I can leave tomorrow.
10:22No matter how hard you work,
10:25or how talented you are,
10:26those people in that house
10:28are never going to see you as anything more than a maid.
10:32And me, a pair of hands.
10:34But somewhere else.
10:35A city where no one knows us.
10:38And we can be anything we want.
10:40Take the leap, Emma.
10:43I promise you, you won't regret it.
10:59Edwin, I've waited so long for you to come home.
11:02But I won't stay and watch you walk through the door
11:04and engage to someone else.
11:07I let myself get distracted by a dream
11:09that we're never going to come true.
11:13But I can still make something of myself.
11:16That were always the plan.
11:18And that's why I'm leaving.
11:21Even though it breaks my heart to know
11:25I'll never...
11:28see you again.
11:45Are you real?
11:49Good question.
11:59Do you feel that?
12:05Are you engaged?
12:09Do you?
12:12Only heaven, do you?
12:15I missed you so much.
12:23What were you writing?
12:26In my heart!
12:29I have to go.
12:30Meet me in the Rose Garden as soon as you can.
12:33I'll wait.
12:49Oh, now you come when I'm in this state.
12:53Turn away!
12:54Go on!
12:54I don't want your eyes on me!
13:02What are you...
13:04What are you doing?
13:06Is it true?
13:09You haven't had a drink for days?
13:15Why?
13:24Because of the way you looked at me at the party
13:28and the way you're looking at me now.
13:33It's the way you used to look at me.
13:37And I want you to do it every day.
14:06Oh, there you are.
14:07Did you, was she, how was she?
14:13Sober.
14:15For how long this time, do you think?
14:17She's never even lasted this long before.
14:20I don't know, I suppose we should take each day as it comes, but thank you.
14:26It was the right thing to do.
14:28Going to see her, I feel much better.
14:44Is that?
14:45Ah, yes, um, it's from Joe Lowther.
14:48I suspect you won't enjoy reading it.
14:54As a result of said reduction in quality, I've taken the decision to stop stalking your fabric,
15:00as it no longer meets the standards my customers expect.
15:05Where is Joe?
15:07That's the third retailer in as many weeks.
15:10Ink's not even trying to channel a contract, I swear, if they find out.
15:13Is Edwin home yet?
15:15Yes, with no news, but I still think the connection between Edwin and Priya might buy us some grace.
15:26Emma, I've thought it through.
15:28Thought of nothing else.
15:29We can do this.
15:31Not yet, maybe, but once I've got a degree, I'll get a decent, probably terribly boring job.
15:37Not one that can buy us a manor, of course, but enough for a cottage.
15:41But they do want you to propose to her, Priya Chandra.
15:44I don't care.
15:45They'll never let you choose me.
15:46They disown you.
15:47Let them.
15:48Who cares?
15:49Be serious.
15:50I am, Emma.
15:52What about their money?
15:53Money doesn't matter to me.
15:54I've said like someone with not the first clue our life is without it.
15:57You're right.
15:58I need father to keep on paying till I've graduated.
16:00But then I'll be free.
16:02You really trade your big fancy hours for a cottage the size of your bedroom?
16:05I'd live in a shoebox if you were there too.
16:10We'd never fit in that.
16:12It'd have to be a hatbox at least.
16:18We wouldn't have to rely on just you.
16:21If we were going to do that, I'd be doing my sewing so we'd have money from that too.
16:26I might even open a shop one day.
16:30See?
16:31Yes.
16:32With my boring job and your not boring shop,
16:36you can do this.
16:38With or without my family's blessing.
16:43You really pick me over them.
16:45I pick you over anyone.
16:48Stay with me.
16:50Stay right.
16:51Here.
16:53Always.
16:56So we can do more of this.
17:10They're not going anywhere.
17:17Let's go.
17:28Let's go.
17:30Let's go.
17:42Let's go.
17:50Oh, my God.
18:20See, this is what I was trying to avoid.
18:25I've never been very good at goodbyes.
18:31Sorry.
18:33I can't leave my dad and Frank. Not yet.
18:36And I think there might be opportunities for me here.
18:40Miss Wainwright knows I've got good ideas and she's even listening to some of them.
18:44I think maybe there is a future for me here.
18:50After all.
18:56You can always come and find me, you know.
18:59If anything changes.
19:00For any reason.
19:03Anything at all.
19:06Just ask for me at the Lucky Duck in Armley.
19:09Leave a message.
19:11Sure I move about.
19:13With work and...
19:15Girls.
19:18Parties.
19:21Someone in there generally knows where I am.
19:28I won't laugh.
19:29Miss you.
19:40Stay hungry, Emma.
19:43Remember what your mom told you.
19:45Don't let anything or anyone distract you from that plan of yours.
19:51Don't let anything or anyone distract you from that plan of yours.
20:21Don't let anything or anyone.
20:21and the road you've got to be done now.
20:23Much more efficient.
20:24I'd like you to increment it immediately.
20:26Tomorrow morning, if possible.
20:28Yes, ma'am. Of course.
20:29I was disappointed to hear you've dismissed it. I can.
20:53Adele?
20:57Come through.
21:01Adele.
21:02What?
21:04Could you cover yourself up a moment, please?
21:07Are you talking to me or the door?
21:09Have you been drinking?
21:10Don't be silly, Adam. Doors don't drink.
21:12I mean you.
21:13How am I supposed to know that if you won't look at me?
21:20Have you?
21:22Not a drop.
21:28Please, put the road back on.
21:41I feel well.
21:43The best I've felt in years.
21:46Like I've been trapped
21:48in this impenetrable fog.
21:52And now it's lifted.
21:56What?
21:58I can see what it was hiding now.
22:01All the damage
22:04I've caused.
22:08It's all over me.
22:10I keep trying to wash it off.
22:12I'm
22:12all over me.
22:19I don't know.
22:49I don't know.
23:13I don't know.
23:43I don't know.
23:50I don't know.
24:02I don't know.
24:18Emma, perhaps you ought to see if Adam is tending to Mrs Fairley.
24:21Perhaps he's forgotten the time.
24:27Sorry, Emma, these uniforms you made, did you use the offcuts from the mill?
24:31I thought you said that would be all right, Miss Wainwright.
24:33No, no, no, it's fine.
24:34So just come here a second, would you?
24:42Looks like an excellent job was done there.
24:46I quite agree.
24:49Sorry to keep you all waiting.
24:51Oh, here, look at this.
24:53Oh, here, look at this.
24:53Look at this.
24:53This is our fabric, you know?
24:56So it may not be good enough for fine dresses, but it makes for a very serviceable uniform, doesn't it?
25:02Almost smart.
25:03Almost smart.
25:04Partly Emma's design, I think.
25:06But it goes to show what can be done.
25:08What are you thinking?
25:11I think we send one of these up to Joe Lowther, convince him of the fabric's potential.
25:15Most of his customers have staff who need uniforms, and nobody wants to pay top whack for those, do they?
25:23Brilliant.
25:25As always.
25:27You might thank Olivia, Gerald.
25:29She may have just saved her job.
25:36Thank you, Aunt Olivia.
25:40Emma, do you think you could make a sample of one of these by tomorrow morning?
25:43Yes, miss.
25:44The usual price?
25:45Yes.
25:55Whatever comes, whether hardship, hunger or sorrow, it cannot alter one thing.
26:16If I'm a princess in rags and tatties, I can be a princess inside.
26:26This is for girls.
26:28It's for anyone who wants to practice their reading.
26:31If you don't like it, I'll put it back tomorrow.
26:33No.
26:34No.
26:37Shut up.
26:38You won't go calling me Princess Frank or nothing.
26:46No point in licking another one.
26:48Borrowing.
26:50If you get caught, you'll get the sack.
26:54Sure.
26:55Just for you.
26:57I'll stick with this boring girls book.
27:01I wish I could write as good as this.
27:04You will.
27:05You've just got to keep working like you are.
27:08Mum would be proud.
27:11You and I.
27:16How much have you shaved now?
27:20Almost 36 shillings.
27:22All right.
27:29Emma?
27:31Dad!
27:32Dad!
27:33I'm all right, I'm all right.
27:34I'm just tired.
27:36What's wrong?
27:37Emma's...
27:40Er...
27:41Emma's asking if I can stay up late to help her.
27:45I am not!
27:46She says I'm better than her.
27:48Better looking too, so she can't finish her out me.
27:52You're so now, can you?
27:55Yeah.
27:56I think I could do a...
27:58a bun.
27:59Do what with it?
28:00Stick it up your nose again?
28:01I've never done that.
28:04Well, you did when you were about two.
28:06Mum had to close up the other nostril and blow in your mouth till it popped out all covered in
28:10snot.
28:10No, she didn't.
28:14All right, come on, Button.
28:15Bed.
28:16Let's go.
28:18Well, you two, you look exhausted.
28:20I'm nearly done.
28:20Promise.
28:23Can't say I know out about dresses.
28:26I don't know how I'd work when I see it.
28:29Weren't that from you.
28:34You're doing great, our kid.
28:37Proud of you.
28:41Don't stay up too long.
28:43I won't.
28:57We ought to get ready to go, I think.
29:00Emma should be bringing us the uniforms and then we could set off.
29:03Hmm.
29:04Hmm.
29:05I was thinking.
29:08Probably best for me to be at the mill, given the growing unrest.
29:12Oh, right.
29:15Yeah, well, I suppose we could go tomorrow.
29:17No, no, no.
29:17I think you should go without me.
29:19It was your brilliant plan anyway.
29:21No doubt Lowther will find you much more charming.
29:24We do need those orders, Olivia.
29:27I've been looking forward to a day out together.
29:29But, yeah, no, I suppose...
29:30Me too.
29:35But there'll be other days.
29:37Hmm.
29:48The uniform for you, Miss Wayne, right?
29:52Thank you, Emma.
29:57Was there something else?
29:59Yes, Miss.
30:00I was wondering, might I come with you to Mr Lowther's shop?
30:04I wouldn't be any trouble.
30:05I just want to watch and listen, to learn.
30:07No, well, I won't be back until bedtime.
30:10I mean, we've only just implemented your rota.
30:11You want to take the day off?
30:12I'd still get everything done.
30:13I'd stay up all night if I have to.
30:18Give my word on that.
30:19You know I always stick to my word.
30:23So I'm struggling to understand why you think this is appropriate.
30:28I'm sorry, it's just...
30:29It is my uniform, what you're using.
30:32It's which I paid for, didn't I?
30:34Yes, but the design is mine.
30:36If I pay for something, that means it belongs to me.
30:39You'd do well to remember that, Emma.
30:42Yes, Miss Wayne, right.
30:43Sorry for speaking out of turn.
30:51Oh, my God.
31:26Are you sure you're ready?
31:28Are you sure you're ready?
31:57Oh, my God.
32:13I'll be right back.
32:28What?
32:31What?
32:32What is it?
32:34I don't remember me.
32:47A success, then, with Jo Lowther.
32:51Do I get to have you all to myself, finally?
32:55Adele's been getting all of your attention recently.
32:58I thought that's what you wanted from me to keep her happy.
33:01It is.
33:03It is.
33:04It is.
33:05But, you know, we did say that we would allow ourselves a little happiness, too.
33:12Right?
33:16What is it?
33:18Is it her?
33:19No.
33:22It's...
33:23It's me.
33:25I can get carried away.
33:27And that's not who you are.
33:30You're...
33:31You're...
33:33You're...
33:34Good.
33:34I don't want to corrupt you with my, um...
33:38I respect you too much.
33:41What if I told you...
33:43I don't want you to respect me.
33:51I mean it.
33:53Do what you want to me.
33:55Do it.
33:58Sit...
33:59And...
34:06Put your arms above your head.
34:08Yeah.
34:24I'm sorry
34:25No, you don't have to stop
34:29I don't want you to stop
34:30My head
34:31I can't stop thinking
34:37All this business with the retailers
34:39They're dropping like flies
34:40I think it's causing me
34:42More stress than I realized
34:45Despite your louder success
34:47Maybe I'll sleep in my own room
34:55Good night, my love
34:56Good night
34:57Good night
35:25Sorry, I was worried
35:29With you not drinking
35:31The nights
35:32Sometimes they can
35:34Be the worst for
35:37Thoughts and
35:38Would it help
35:39If I was here
35:41Maybe
36:10I'll be
36:13Good night
36:15Good night
36:29Oh, my God.
36:58Oh, my God.
37:29Oh, I didn't ask for that.
37:38Wait.
37:52I've always been an unreliable person.
38:22I've always been an unreliable person.
38:53I've always been an unreliable person.
39:18I've got your message.
39:29You all right?
39:33I'm going to have a baby.
39:40Are you sure?
39:41Oh, my God.
39:46Oh, my God.
39:48Christ.
39:50My father will kill me.
39:52If yours doesn't mind, Will.
39:57What the hell are you going to do?
40:00Don't you mean, what are we going to do?
40:03Yes.
40:04Sorry.
40:05Of course.
40:08Are you sure?
40:10Completely and absolutely sure?
40:12I'm certain.
40:19Edwin.
40:20I need to know what's going through your head.
40:30There are doctors also, I've heard, who can take care of these things for a price.
40:37Perhaps we can find one in Leeds or Bradford.
40:39You can butcher me up, you mean?
40:41No.
40:41I just meant that.
40:42That's what you want, is it?
40:43For it to just disappear?
40:44I don't know what else to say, Emma.
40:46This is a catastrophe.
40:47You could say, marry me.
40:49You could say, let's go.
40:51Now.
40:55A cottage.
40:57A future.
40:58We already planned it, didn't we?
40:59You stood right here, only yesterday, promising me a lifetime.
41:03What does it matter if it starts today?
41:15I chose you.
41:16I had a ticket out of this place, and I chose you.
41:20I...
41:21Even though me head were telling me to go, even though going wasn't a plan.
41:25I got distracted.
41:29Promise me, Mum, I wouldn't.
41:31We do love you, Emma.
41:34We're too young.
41:35Young?
41:36Young?
41:37Is that the reason you're giving yourself?
41:39If you're going to be a coward about it, at least find the decency to be honest about.
41:43Why, Master Edwin?
41:45I...
41:48I'll have to leave.
41:49My dad wouldn't be able to stand the shame.
41:53When will you go?
41:55None of your business.
41:57Soon.
41:59And I need money.
42:02I've only got five pounds.
42:05Then I suppose that'll have to do.
42:07And I need a suitcase.
42:09Yes.
42:10I'll...
42:12leave one for you with the money inside.
42:15Thank you, sir.
42:16You're very kind.
42:17Please.
42:17Try to understand.
42:18Oh, I do.
42:19I understand exactly.
42:20Never thought I'd fall for it.
42:22Never will again.
42:23Emma.
42:23I won't be returning the suitcase since I won't be seeing you, Edwin Fairley.
42:26Never.
42:27Never again.
42:29Not for as long as I live.
42:38No!
42:50No!
42:52No!
42:54Oh, my God.
43:47Oh, my God.
43:54Oh, my God.
43:56Oh, my God.
44:25Oh, my God.
44:48Oh, my God.
44:50Oh, my God.
44:56Oh, my God.
44:59Oh, my God.
45:01Oh, my God.
45:16Oh, my God.
