FunTranscript
00:04And of course I shall be in Rome next month, so I look forward to discussing your thoughts on my
00:11proposals in person.
00:13Meanwhile, my assistant will be booking my next week's appointments, as I shall only be on my business trip for
00:20another three days at most.
00:24The doctors say a week, at least.
00:28Nobody must know, Gerry. Any weakness just plays into their hands. I shall only be on my business trip for
00:35another three days, at most.
00:38And also, have there been any calls, Gerry?
00:45Hundreds. I've had Psytex on the phone day and night, and also...
00:48No, no. Not work calls. Calls from the family.
00:52I've not let anyone know you're ill, Mrs. Hart, at your instruction.
00:57Of course.
00:59We both know there's someone who would want to be informed.
01:03If Paula knew you were ill, she'd be frantic.
01:20Are you feeling...
01:22Better.
01:23I miss her, of course.
01:26But better than before.
01:28Better than...
01:30How fucking dare she?
01:32Yeah, but actually, how dare she?
01:34Telling me who to love, then just swanning off on some mystery trip.
01:38She makes me so fucking angry.
01:41People that we love do that.
01:48I love you.
01:52Jim.
01:53I tried to stop.
01:59But I don't think it works like that.
02:06Go home, Gerry, and tell that boyfriend of yours, when his show opens, I shall be wanting front row seats.
02:13Mrs. Hart, might this be a sign?
02:17To join an exercise class?
02:20To slow down.
02:21Take a holiday, or two.
02:23Have a rest.
02:26Have we met?
02:28I'm Emma Hart.
02:43Oh.
02:49Maybe.
02:51Yeah, but.
02:52I'm Emma.
02:55You're right, I'm Emma.
02:57Go home, I'm...
03:01You're right, I'm a dancer.
03:03My Mother.
03:07Mm.
03:08Hey, son.
03:09You're a body, son.
03:10Yeah, I'm a body of a body.
03:31Oh, Merry Christmas.
03:39Hello.
03:41Nice to see you again.
03:43Mr Kalinski, do we have any Turkish Delight left?
03:46Oh, I don't imagine so.
03:48There's been such a run on it from all the big houses on the hill.
03:51You wouldn't believe how popular it's been.
03:53The fancy housekeepers have taken two boxes.
03:56But might we find one for Mrs Easton, do you suppose?
04:06Success!
04:07Well then, I'd better take both.
04:11Oh, and you'd be wise to add a tin of pork and one more jar of applesauce, I think.
04:17You're welcome.
04:19Good evening.
04:22Emma, it's Christmas Eve.
04:25Imagine there are stockings that need hanging, trees that need decking.
04:28Oh, tell Edwina I've put one extra sugar mouse in your basket just for her, so she is not to
04:35share.
04:36I can close up.
04:37You get going.
04:41Oh, I have an ulterior motive.
04:43I'm planning to steal cheese.
04:45Take whatever you can carry.
04:47And I mean it.
04:48I know your family's probably finished celebrating now that Hanukkah's over,
04:51but we'd love you and Flora to join us tomorrow.
04:54Joe's complaining he can't see kitchen surfaces for food.
04:57Our Frank can't come.
04:58Too busy working for his exams.
05:00And Mac's been goodness knows where for months.
05:03Mac always has a mystery girl or a party in every town.
05:06Both mainly.
05:08So no, no one's coming.
05:10Which means there'll be plenty of room for you both if...
05:12Emma, I don't...
05:13I've been happy to help out here over the last couple of years, but...
05:19I can't just pretend to be a regular friend of your family.
05:24I can't.
05:26Merry Christmas, David.
05:56Merry Christmas, David.
06:06Merry Christmas, David.
06:07I think they're here.
06:08I just, um, I didn't...
06:10I'm sorry.
06:12I'm sorry.
06:13I'll leave...
06:13No, don't.
06:14I love you.
06:15Please.
06:17Stay.
06:24I don't come in here often.
06:27Well, I quite understand how occasionally it could be helpful to...
06:34She's everywhere.
06:40There's wretched potions of hers.
06:46Always mysterious.
06:49It's difficult this week, particularly.
06:53She loved Christmas.
06:55Yes.
07:01Oh, no.
07:03Sit down.
07:05It's all right.
07:06Sit.
07:14There's so many different versions of her on every wall.
07:18She loved it.
07:22I can't bear one mirror most days.
07:27Yet you are more beautiful every minute.
07:52She's done.
07:53They'll be wondering where we should...
08:29Welcome.
08:29I can't bear one mirror.
08:29You made it. It's been an age since you visited.
08:33Aunt Olivia.
08:34Oh, I love your earrings, Olivia. Thank you.
08:37Happy Christmas.
08:38You're here.
08:40Good.
08:41It's just me and the happy couples.
08:45Standards thriving, I hear. I've had nothing but good reports.
08:49Hard week, was it?
08:51At the forefront of world news.
08:53Festive joy at armly Christmas fate.
08:57So it sells.
08:58Well, I'm glad someone finally worked out what does.
09:02A lot of newspapers have been a liability for us for years, but you've made it pay.
09:06I thought the plan was when you took over the paper that it would be nothing but hard-hitting journalism.
09:11I'm saving my stirring editorials about German defence spending for January.
09:19Dinner time.
09:20And drinks, perhaps?
09:21Yes, please. Drinks, plural.
09:24Oh, and then some kind of parlour game.
09:26Father wants to play a jolly game, Aunt Olivia.
09:29What do you think?
09:29Happy families?
09:31Weak murder?
09:32Gerald.
09:34Leave him.
09:38I'm going out.
09:45It's Christmas Eve.
09:47Does the casino never close?
09:49Listen, have you got any cash?
09:52None for you to lose.
09:55I thought the mill was back on an even keel.
10:00Since Mother, hasn't it felt like being underwater?
10:11Yes.
10:14Are you getting yourself into trouble?
10:17Christ, the interest these lone people charge at them.
10:20They're villains.
10:22Hamilton Equitable, they call themselves.
10:25Now they're threatening me with demands for repayment.
10:29And Father must have said, no, but I've all but promised them my firstborn.
10:37By Boxing Day.
10:40But tonight I have a sure thing.
10:42I can make it all back.
10:43And more.
10:45Please.
10:47That paper is such a financial triumph.
10:51Hmm?
10:52Please.
11:15Seven.

15:24you
15:24Let's go.
15:55How was your sure thing?
15:57Sure things like marriages. Only fools expect they'll work out.
16:00I need more time. I'd throw myself at the mercy of these Hamilton-equitable people.
16:05Make them see sense. Man to man.
16:09I'll be late for lunch. Don't tell father.
16:24Oh, it's so good.
16:26Oh, my God.
16:41Could have had the maids come in to at least do dinner.
16:43They have families of their own to be with.
16:45And you don't run up to Christmas.
16:50Obviously, the shop comes first.
16:53But I must say, I did hope that today...
16:55Today I have a million things to do.
16:56But you sit, please.
16:59Sit.
17:02What time did you get up?
17:04I was hoping we might get to, er, lay-in.
17:08I fell short in that department.
17:09No, I just meant...
17:11Kate, Kate, Kate!
17:13She's wanting the Yule log.
17:15No, love, we don't have chocolate for breakfast.
17:17And the Yule logs for later, so...
17:19It's Christmas.
17:20No, Jo, she mustn't.
17:23Not the whole thing.
17:25Oh, where's the...
17:26Don't give it to her!
17:28Now, look!
17:29The waste!
17:32The waste!
17:36It looks like you've got this under control.
17:39Anyone want to play a game?
17:46Lovely, just over there.
17:48You've got that in this one.
17:51Don't check the cell.
17:53Don't check the cell.
17:57Just trying to fill the gaps a bit.
18:01When we were children,
18:02Adele and I used to decorate
18:04place settings with people's names.
18:07Which cost nothing, of course.
18:09I didn't know if Edward and Gerald
18:11would think it a bit silly.
18:12Too much, probably.
18:14You're doing a wonderful job.
18:20I just wanted to make it, well,
18:21if not perfect, then at least bearable.
18:29Where would we have been without you
18:31these last few years?
18:33And before that,
18:35I realise,
18:37for years,
18:38decades,
18:40you're always there.
18:46Now,
18:48Olivia?
18:51Olivia?
18:51Olivia?
18:53Olivia?
18:53Olivia?
18:56Is that a...
18:57Adele's ring, yes.
18:58She'll be so glad for you to have it.
19:03Darling,
19:05will you be my wife?
19:10Yeah.
19:12Oh, ho, ho.
19:17Oh, ho, ho.
19:18Oh, ho, ho.
19:19Oh, ho, ho.
19:21Oh, ho, ho.
19:21Oh, ho, ho.
19:21Oh, ho, ho, ho.
19:23Oh, ho, ho.
19:23Oh, ho, ho.
19:23Oh, ho, ho.
19:24Yes.
19:29Now,
19:31where are the boys?
20:07Teapots!
20:08Look, daddy, look!
20:09Oh, wow.
20:11Can I try that?
20:12Yes, of course I do.
20:15Delicious, Tim.
20:17Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
20:19Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
20:19Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
20:21Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
20:24Oh, not today, surely.
20:26What's to do there if it's shut?
20:28I'm fetching another Yule log.
20:30Also, I've had an idea about those beef and potato pies.
20:33They need shifting.
20:33Emma, it's Christmas Day.
20:34Be back soon, love. You won't know I'm gone.
21:02You look lovely.
21:06I suppose we should go downstairs.
21:09Yes, don't want you to look like we're hiding.
21:15But first...
21:36It's beautiful.
21:41Thank goodness.
21:44It was a risk, but I know with my mother, remembering's good.
21:54And last year, our first Christmas, we hardly knew each other.
21:58So I can't even remember what I got you.
22:00Something unimaginative, I expect, like chocolates.
22:17I love them.
22:20Mmm.
22:22Oh, never mind the Balkans. Asquith.
22:26Asquith is the real threat.
22:27You're telling me that if the French went to war,
22:29he wouldn't follow them without a second thought.
22:31Like a shot, but it won't come to that.
22:33Well, better ask his wife.
22:35Asquith tells everything to his wife.
22:38And Lloyd George tells everything to other people's wives.
22:41Mmm.
22:46Speaking of wives...
22:53Show them.
23:04Oh.
23:07Congratulations.
23:13Edwin, I know that this must be...
23:15I'm making an honest woman out of her, Edwin.
23:18And she is making me...
23:19the happiest man in the world.
23:27Congratulations.
23:31Aunt Olivia.
23:49You really must release yourself of it, Olivia.
23:54This shame of yours.
23:55This guilt.
23:59It's exhausting.
24:08So, excuse me, I have a bit of a headache.
24:16Your brother didn't save any day to join us.
24:18I'm not looking for the right...
24:20...yes.
24:29Forget it.
24:30Oh.
24:33Let me get you.
24:37No, I'm sorry.
24:40You're gonna have to be gone.
24:41No.
24:44No, you're gonna have to be gone.
24:45You're gonna have to go.
24:45I knew you, Tony.
24:47I knew you.
24:47I knew you were from the middle of the place.
24:48I had to go.
25:0357 High Street, is that right?
25:06What are you doing here?
25:07I could ask you the same.
25:09But the gold letters outside give you away.
25:12Why have you come, Joel Fairley?
25:14Mr Fairley, to you.
25:17And I have a letter for Hamilton Equitable.
25:20Then I'd better take it.
25:26I've places to be, even if you don't.
25:27Mulled wine, mitts, pies and the like.
25:29To hand over the letter, you've gone to all the trouble of bringing me and take your leave.
25:34You're Hamilton Equitable?
25:36You're in the money-lending business.
25:38Only to you.
25:39Heard you got yourself into trouble, as the weak often do, and saw an opportunity.
25:42Now get out of my shop.
25:43Leave any correspondence you have on the mat, and I'll reply after Christmas.
25:47This is the best Christmas present I could ever have.
25:50Well, this hears me thinking that I had to pay that money back.
25:53But Hamill's in Equitable is some kind of real firm.
25:56No, it's real, all right.
25:57Some little jumped-up housemaid bearing a grudge because she got rejected is no real business.
26:01Take that up with the team of lawyers who have verified my interest rates and the contract you signed.
26:06Now get out of my shop.
26:09I don't want that money by tomorrow, as agreed.
26:13I think you're clever, don't you?
26:15Where's the child, Emma Hart?
26:19I haven't got a child.
26:20Oh, come on.
26:21Where's the child you had that belongs to my brother?
26:24I did not have your brother's baby.
26:26Don't give me that.
26:29You're nothing but a whore.
26:30A good one, I have no doubt.
26:33But nonetheless, Edwin told me the whole sorry tale.
26:38Late one night, tears in his eyes.
26:40I don't know what story he's told you or himself, but I didn't have Edwin's child.
26:44Does your father know how much debt you're in?
26:47I know.
26:47Your game, Emma Hart.
26:49I know it's common practice with tramps from the working class that you'll turn up with your child at some
26:54stage to blackmail our family.
26:56Well, you've had enough money out of me.
27:02You know Edwin's married now, don't you?
27:07Not that his wife gives him what he wants.
27:11Not like you did, I'm sure.
27:15I saw how stuck on you Edwin was.
27:17So I imagine you know how to move those hips of yours, don't you?
27:21Oh, come on.
27:22Gave it up willingly enough for Edwin, didn't you?
27:24And I'm not about taking his seconds.
27:28What's the matter?
27:29I was like you were ready any time of day or night.
27:32As your Christmas spirit, Emma Hart, I can see you.
27:35Put on your little dress for me.
27:37I used to see you in my house.
27:40I'm watching.
27:43And you always knew what you wanted.
27:45And so did I.
27:47So did I.
27:49Yes, you do.
27:50I know you do.
27:52I can tell.
28:15That is the final deposit in settlement of my account.
28:27Get out because I mean it, I will kill you.
28:30I will.
28:31I like a tiger.
28:33I like you wild, Emma Hart.
28:36You are nothing, Cheryl Fairley.
28:39You are an insignificant man who's had every advantage his whole life.
28:43Yet the only way you feel like a winner is to use physical strength for approximately 15 seconds.
28:49Well, your body might be stronger than mine, but your resolve never will be.
28:52Your filthy animal needs will never match the lust, the fire that burns inside of me.
28:58Because my desire is destruction.
29:01And I'll never stop.
29:02Not ever.
29:03Not till I've ruined you and every other member of your self-absorbed, privileged and spineless family.
29:08You boring little tramp.
29:10And as for the money you owe, check your contract.
29:12I'm calling in your collateral.
29:17You, you, you couldn't.
29:18One signature for me and it's done.
29:21When I sign that paper, every brick of Fairley Mill will belong to me.
29:25And I'll leave it up to you to explain to your dad why you put it up as security.
29:28Because this is just the start.
29:30I won't stop making your family pay till every Fairley living mourns the day they ever heard the name Emma
29:35Hart.
29:41It's a happy Christmas, Gerald Fairley.
29:44From all Hamilton Equitable and Hart Enterprises.
29:56Go.
29:58Go.
29:59Go.
30:01Go.
30:03Go.
30:04Go.
30:04Go.
30:05Go.
30:06Go.
30:37Go.
30:38Go.
30:51Finally, shop all ships in.
30:54All well, feeling better.
31:02I got the Yule log.
31:04Well, that's good, because we're going to need all the supplies that we can get.
31:07Sure, if there'd been no Yule log, I'd have had my coat on and striden out that door.
31:13What's a Yule log?
31:17You came.
31:25Happy Christmas.
31:28No warning. You all right?
31:31I am now.
31:33Mac's got a surprise of his own.
31:41Oh, I'm sorry.
31:44Hello.
31:46Emma, this is Laura, my friend.
31:51A special friend?
31:54Isn't that great news?
31:56It is. Of course it is.
31:59I kept telling Mac it wasn't a day for introductions,
32:01but you know what it's like.
32:05He did tell you I was coming.
32:10Of course.
32:12Welcome.
32:13Welcome indeed.
32:15And for goodness sake, let's have a drink, shall we?
32:25Oh, God.
32:39The only thing is.
32:42I'm sorry.
32:42No.
32:43I don't know.
33:20I don't know.
34:04Am I an ill-mannered brute?
34:06No warning.
34:08And an uninvited guest in tow.
34:11Oh, a dreadful brute.
34:13Always.
34:17But always, always welcome.
34:22That's one you've introduced.
34:23So I'm guessing Laura's not like the others.
34:26The many others.
34:27That's nice.
34:28The lot of it.
34:30I barely know any girls at all.
34:40Not in danger of settling down, are you?
34:44Jane O'Neill.
34:47Sure.
34:49It takes a special girl to get a proposal from me.
34:53Okay, my heart?
34:57Do I still have a wife?
34:59Presents?
35:00We've waited long enough.
35:03Yeah.
35:38Later on, Pat.
35:40You can't give a man a present and not let him open it.
35:44What is it, Daddy?
35:46My love, your gift is outside the front of the house.
35:50Is it a treasure hunt?
35:52Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt!
35:55Outdoors? I mean, what needs to be kept cold?
35:58A beer?
35:59Not a beef and potato pie.
36:07Dad, it's more. Is it for you?
36:10Not for me.
36:13No, Emma.
36:14I know you want to be.
36:17Yeah, but I never dreamed it.
36:20Have you seen this?
36:23The car from my beautiful, hard-working wife.
36:27No more hardship for Emma Hart, eh?
36:31Well done, my morning.
36:44I have an unimaginative gift I need help with.
36:49Nice.
36:50Well, my husband hasn't shown his devotion to me with cheap chocolates.
36:54No, these are definitely mid-range.
37:05I don't agree with everything Mr Fairley says, but I'm sure he's right that your sister would want you to
37:13be happy.
37:15Who knows what Adele would have wanted.
37:19She didn't know herself, I suspect.
37:23All I know is how strange it feels with her gone.
37:30It's as if everything's gone dark.
37:36People leave us, but the love doesn't.
37:40You think you can't stand it, the grief.
37:44Then one day it starts to become bearable.
37:48The sun comes out.
37:53Olivia!
37:56Where have you got to?
37:58Olivia!
38:05We can look for it ourselves all we like, but what we're all hoping for is that love finds us.
38:11Don't you think?
38:13Real love.
38:16The kind you don't have to question.
38:40No, thank you.
38:44You saw Edwin's reaction.
38:46He was horrified.
38:48And if we think that anyone at all will feel any differently, then we're lying to ourselves.
38:53I mean, for God's sake, I don't feel any differently.
38:54It is horrifying.
38:57So...
38:58I can't do it.
38:59I'm sorry.
39:00I can't.
39:11So it was all for nothing, then.
39:19Adele's death.
39:21You broke your sister's heart.
39:24She drank herself to death.
39:26We all lost her.
39:28We all suffered this unimaginable, utter misery.
39:32But for no reason.
39:38Olivia.
39:41If we don't legitimize this, if we don't show the world that you and I weren't just fooling around,
39:50then...
39:52How do you explain what the hell you're still doing here?
39:56What's been going on in this house?
40:00How do we explain it to the boys?
40:25Now.
40:27Come on.
40:28It's Christmas.
40:29What are we playing, charades?
40:44For my beautiful wife that needs the shop.
40:49All three.
40:50All in your name.
40:52Merry Christmas.
40:53Yeah!
40:54Yeah!
40:55I want to pay for them.
40:57I mean it.
40:58I've all the money saved.
41:00Very, very fast.
41:01Hold on.
41:02Hi.
41:09That car was some present.
41:13Joe deserves some consolation for his absentee wife.
41:17And he deserves not to feel stuck.
41:22Also, you deserve a husband who can speed you up and down in a fancy sports car.
41:29He did want a car.
41:32It's just...
41:33It may be he wanted other things more.
41:42It can be lonely.
41:46Am I right?
41:49Having purpose.
41:51Being so...
41:53Certain.
41:54Every day.
41:55Not everyone understands.
41:58So...
41:58It can be lonely.
42:08Laura's wonderful.
42:10She's a good woman.
42:11Seems stuck on you.
42:14Can you blame the girl?
42:18She's not like us, though.
42:21Well, what a relief.
42:22Well, she wants a quiet life.
42:24Although, did you see her in the passenger seat?
42:26She's screaming, she was.
42:29She's a dark horse.
42:32Tell you that.
42:38I'm glad you like her, though.
42:42That's important.
42:48I'm buying the shops from Joe.
42:50All of them.
42:53And I've got myself a present, too.
43:01You're looking at the new owner of Fairley Mill.
43:09Because when you're busy making sacrifices every day,
43:12you deserve the odd reward.
43:18You're doing it, Emma.
43:21You're doing it.
43:22I am.
43:24I am.
43:25And I'm only just beginning.
43:32I'm only just beginning.
43:36Check the shops.
43:38Emma.
43:39I want to.
43:39Please.
43:41To feel safe.
43:46How was it?
43:47Oh.
43:48She's a dream.
43:50The car ran the wife.
43:54I wanted you to have something you loved.
43:58So did I.
44:00Hey.
44:04Hello.
44:11You're supposed to be there.
44:12Watch out.
44:15I'm supposed to be there, though.
44:18We wanted to surprise you.
44:20How are you doing?
44:21Yeah.
44:23Are you surprised?
44:24I am, my friend.
44:25I am.
44:26I am.
44:28That's more important, eh?
44:30Than family.
44:33Come here.
44:43Where the hell have you been?
44:46You've missed quite a day.
44:48Did you at least manage to buy yourself more time?
44:52Gerald.
44:55Mother was the only one who thought anything of me, wasn't she?
44:59This is about the debt.
45:01Gerald.
45:02It's just money.
45:03It doesn't matter.
45:04It's gone.
45:05The mill's gone.
45:06She's taken it.
45:07Who has?
45:08Who's taken it?
45:09Your little whore.
45:11Emma Hart.
45:15Strutting around like she's anything more than just a tramp maid.
45:20And she's dangerous.
45:21She won't stop there.
45:23But we can make sure she gets what's coming to her.
45:26Can't we, Edwin?
45:29We'll remind Emma Hart who she really is.
45:32We'll make her sorry, won't we?
45:59This is madness.
46:00Pretending everything's fine.
46:01When we all know war could be declared any second.
46:04If we don't go over there and stop the Germans, they'll bring the fight to us.
46:07What has that damn girl done now?
46:09She's punishing me and she won't give up.
46:11Time is not a luxury we have, gentlemen.
46:13The war has begun.
46:42The war has begun.
