00:05And, of course, I shall be in Rome next month, so I look forward to discussing your thoughts
00:11on my proposals in person.
00:13Meanwhile, my assistant will be booking my next week's appointments, as I shall only
00:18be on my business trip for another three days at most.
00:24The doctors say a week, at least.
00:28Nobody must know, Jerry.
00:30Any weakness just plays into their hands.
00:33I shall only be on my business trip for another three days at most.
00:38And also, have there been any calls, Jerry?
00:44Hundreds.
00:44I've had side texts on the phone day and night.
00:46No, no, not work calls.
00:48Calls from the family.
00:51I've not let anyone know you're ill, Mrs. Hart.
00:54Your instruction.
00:55Of course.
00:57We both know there's someone who would want to be informed.
01:01If Paula knew you were ill, she'd be frantic.
01:13You're my honeybee.
01:16You're my honeybee.
01:17Come on and see me.
01:18You're feeling better.
01:21I miss her, of course.
01:23But better than before.
01:25Better than?
01:26How fucking dare she?
01:29Yeah, but actually, how dare she?
01:31Telling me who to love, then just swanning off on some mystery trip.
01:35She makes me so fucking angry.
01:37People that we love do that.
01:40Let me try to kiss me, boy.
01:42Really make me on your own mind.
01:44I love you.
01:48Jim.
01:49I've tried to stop.
01:54I don't think it works like that.
02:01Go home, Jerry, and tell that boyfriend of yours, when his show opens, I shall be wanting front row seats.
02:08Mrs. Hart, might this be a sign?
02:11To join an exercise class?
02:14To slow down.
02:16Take a holiday or two.
02:18Have a rest.
02:19Have we met?
02:22I'm Emma Hart.
02:25I'm Emma Hart.
03:12I'm Emma Hart.
03:22Oh, Merry Christmas.
03:30Hello.
03:31Nice to see you again.
03:34Mr. Klinski, do we have any Turkish delight left?
03:36Oh, I don't imagine so.
03:38There's been such a run on it from all the big houses on the hill.
03:41You wouldn't believe how popular it's been.
03:43The fancy housekeepers have taken two boxes.
03:46But might we find one for Mrs. Easton, do you suppose?
03:51Yes.
03:55Success.
03:56Well then, I'd better take both.
04:00Oh, and you'd be wise to add a tin of pork and one more jar of applesauce, I think.
04:05You're welcome.
04:08Good evening.
04:11Emma, it's Christmas Eve.
04:13Imagine there are stockings that need hanging.
04:15Trees that need decking.
04:17Oh, tell Edwina I've put one extra sugar mouse in your basket just for her, so she is not to
04:23share.
04:23Yeah, I can close up.
04:25You get going.
04:29Oh, I have an ulterior motive.
04:30I'm planning to steal cheese.
04:32Take whatever you can carry.
04:34And I mean it.
04:35I know your family's probably finished celebrating now that Panic is over, but we'd love you and Flora to join
04:39us tomorrow.
04:41Joe's complaining he can't see kitchen surfaces for food.
04:44Oh, Frank can't come.
04:45Too busy working for his exams.
04:47And Mac's been goodness knows where for months.
04:50Mac always has a mystery girl or a party in every town.
04:53Both mainly.
04:54So no, no one's coming.
04:56Which means there'll be plenty of room for you both if...
04:58Emma, I don't...
04:59I've been happy to help out here over the last couple of years, but...
05:05I can't just pretend to be a regular friend of your family.
05:09I can't.
05:11Merry Christmas, David.
05:14Merry Christmas, David.
05:50I think they're here.
05:52I just, um, I didn't...
05:53I'm sorry.
05:55I'm sorry.
05:56I'll leave...
05:56No, don't.
05:58Olivia, please.
06:00Stay.
06:06I don't come in here often.
06:10I quite understand how occasionally it could be helpful to...
06:13Hmm.
06:16She's everywhere.
06:22There's wretched potions of hers.
06:27Always mysterious.
06:31It's difficult this week, particularly.
06:34She loved Christmas.
06:36Yes.
06:41Oh, no.
06:43There's...
06:43Sit down.
06:45It's all right.
06:47Sit.
06:54There's so many different versions of her on every wall.
06:59She loved it.
07:02I can't bear one mirror most days.
07:07Yet you're more beautiful every minute.
07:30Sit down.
07:32They'll be wandering where...
07:34We should...
07:37We should...
07:38We should...
07:38We should...
07:45We should...
07:47We should...
07:49We should...
07:53We should...
07:57We should...
08:05Welcome. You made it. It's been an ove since you visited.
08:10Aunt Olivia.
08:11Oh, I love your earrings, Olivia. Thank you. Happy Christmas.
08:14You're here. Good.
08:17It's just me and the happy couples.
08:21Standards thriving, I hear. I've had nothing but good reports.
08:25Hard week, was it? At the forefront of world news.
08:29Festive joy at armly Christmas fate.
08:33It's what sells.
08:34Well, I'm glad someone finally worked there with us.
08:37The newspaper's been a liability for us for years, but you've made it pay.
08:41I thought the plan was, when you took over the paper, that it would be nothing but hard-hitting journalism.
08:46I'm saving my stirring editorials about German defence spending for January.
08:53Dinner time.
08:54And drinks, perhaps?
08:55Yes, please. Drinks, plural.
08:58Oh, and then some kind of parlour game.
09:00Father wants to play a jolly game, Aunt Olivia.
09:02What do you think? Happy families? Wink murder?
09:06Gerald.
09:08Leave him.
09:12I'm going out.
09:19It's Christmas Eve.
09:20Have you got any cash?
09:25None for you to lose.
09:27I thought the mill was back on an even keel.
09:33Since Mother...
09:36Hasn't it felt like being underwater?
09:42Yes.
09:46Are you getting yourself into trouble?
09:49Christ.
09:50The interest these lone people charge up, and they're villains.
09:54Hamilton Equitable, they call themselves.
09:56Now they're threatening me with demands for repayment.
10:00My father mustn't know whether.
10:03But I've all but promised them my firstborn.
10:07My boxing day.
10:11But tonight I have a sure thing.
10:12I can make it all back.
10:13And more.
10:15Please.
10:16Hmm?
10:18That paper.
10:19Such a financial triumph.
10:21Hmm?
10:21Please.
10:29Please.
10:34Please.
11:03Hi, Barry, hi, Barry.
11:06Are you sure?
11:24Look at this pretty one, Daddy.
11:26Wow, that is lovely.
11:27Right, where can we put this one?
11:29There?
11:30Or higher?
11:31Higher, higher.
11:32Higher, you say?
11:33Well, look at this.
11:35Goodness.
11:36Oh, here you are at last.
11:38You must be exhausted.
11:39Now, where's my favourite girl?
11:41No, down, down, no!
11:45Let's get another one.
11:46Oh, you've already hung the stockings.
11:49Well, Edwina wanted to do them before her baby brother went to bed.
11:53Of course.
11:54And she's been working so hard.
11:59Just like her mum.
12:01Well, the tree looks beautiful.
12:03You've an eye for it, love.
12:06But there's a gap here, look.
12:08Can we just move this bauble?
12:10No, I want it there, no!
12:13We had found just the right spot for it, haven't we, sweetheart?
12:16Better girl.
12:17It's perfect just where you put it.
12:19What about this one, Daddy?
12:21Right, where shall we put that?
12:23Up there?
12:24Ok, let's try it.
12:28Not much, I'll get out of here...
12:34Home Yup.
12:36Come on.
13:01Safely tucked up?
13:03On her back, mouth open.
13:05And Kit's got his blanket.
13:06Mm-hmm.
13:07We were packed today.
13:09Sold all of the fresh stuff.
13:10Just a load of beef and potato pies left in the stock room.
13:13I need to shift.
13:18Joe, have you thought any more about the shops?
13:21Hmm?
13:22Hardly allowed to these days, am I?
13:24You're welcome to be as involved as you like in the shops.
13:27Am I?
13:28And what about your other businesses, the ones that I'm not allowed to know about?
13:31What other businesses?
13:34Anyway, you've got your garden.
13:37And your books.
13:39Big reader.
13:40That's right, I'm sure that's what the neighbours think of me.
13:44No.
13:46What I meant was...
13:49Have you thought about me buying the shops?
13:51Having all three in my name?
13:53All the money put away.
13:55And I want to pay.
13:58But...
13:59Or a Christmas present.
14:01Have you shot a one?
14:03I like my name on all of the deeds.
14:06I'm sorry to break it to you.
14:08But for almost two years, we've had the same name.
14:12You know what I mean.
14:14I know that it's time for bed.
14:16I'll kiss the children for you, shall I?
14:18I always kiss the children.
14:19I kiss them all the time.
14:20You do?
14:21You do, yes.
14:23Outside of dreading hours.
14:25I know that you would go back to the house over the house.
15:10How was your sure thing?
15:12Sure things like marriages, only fools expect they'll work out.
15:16I need more time to throw myself at the mercy of these Hamilton inequitable people.
15:20Make them see sense, man to man.
15:23I'll be late for lunch. Don't tell father.
15:38Oh, so good.
15:54I could have had the maids come in to at least do dinner.
15:57They have families of their own to be with.
15:58And you don't?
16:02Run up to Christmas. Obviously the shop comes first.
16:06But I must say I did hold back to...
16:08They have a million things to do.
16:09But you sit, please.
16:11Sit.
16:15What time did you get up?
16:16I was hoping we might get to, er...
16:19Lay-in.
16:20I fall short in that department.
16:22No, I just meant...
16:25She's wanting me all long.
16:27No, love, we don't have chocolate for breakfast.
16:29On the Yule Logs for later, so...
16:31It's Christmas.
16:32No, Jo, she mustn't.
16:35Not the whole thing.
16:36Oh, where's the hell?
16:37Don't give it to her!
16:39Now look!
16:40The waste!
16:47It looks like you've got this under control.
16:50Anyone want to play a game?
16:57Lovely, just over there.
17:07Just trying to fill the gaps a bit.
17:10When we were children, Adele and I used to decorate place settings with people's names.
17:16Which cost nothing, of course.
17:19I didn't know if Edwin and Gerald would think it a bit silly.
17:21Too much, probably.
17:23You were doing a wonderful job.
17:28I just wanted to make it, well, if not perfect, then at least bearable.
17:37Where would we have been without you these last few years?
17:42And before that, I realise, for years, decades, we're always there.
17:54Oh, Olivia.
18:03Is that a...
18:03Adele's ring, yes.
18:05She'd be so glad for you to have it.
18:10Darling, will you be my wife?
18:13I...
18:15I...
18:17Yeah.
18:18I...
18:18I...
18:19Oh, ho, ho!
18:21Hmm.
18:27Oh.
18:30Yes.
18:35Now...
18:37They're the boys.
18:40They're the boys.
18:42They're the boys.
18:43Oh, my God.
19:27Oh, not today, Charlie. What's to do there if it's shut?
19:30I'm fetching another Yule log. Also, I've had an idea about those beef and potato pies. They need shifted.
19:36Emma, it's Christmas Day.
19:37Be back soon, love.
19:38No, I'm gone.
20:03You look lovely.
20:07I suppose we should go downstairs.
20:10Yes. I don't want it to look like we're hiding.
20:16But first...
20:35It's beautiful. Thank you.
20:40Thank goodness.
20:43It was a risk, but I know with my mother, remembering's good.
20:52And last year, our first Christmas, we hardly knew each other.
20:56So I can't even remember what I got you.
20:59Something unimaginative, I expect, like chocolates.
21:14I love them.
21:20Oh, never mind the Balkans.
21:22Asquith. Asquith is the real threat.
21:24You're telling me that if the French went to war, he wouldn't follow them without a second thought.
21:28Like a shot, but it won't come to that.
21:29Well, better ask his wife.
21:32Asquith tells everything to his wife.
21:34And Lloyd George tells everything to other people's wives.
21:41Speaking of wives...
21:48Show them.
22:00Oh.
22:02Congratulations.
22:08Edwin, I know that this must be...
22:10I'm making an honest woman out of her, Edwin.
22:12And she is making me...
22:14The happiest man in the world.
22:22Congratulations.
22:25Aunt Olivia.
22:42You really must release yourself of it, Olivia.
22:46It's a shame of yours, this guilt.
22:51It's exhausting.
23:00Excuse me, I have a bit of a headache.
23:08Your brother didn't save any danger join us?
23:10...
23:11Oh.
23:13Oh.
23:17Oh.
23:5357 High Street. Is that right?
23:55What are you doing here?
23:56I could ask you the same.
23:58But the gold letters outside give you away.
24:01Why have you come, Joel Fairley?
24:03Mr Fairley. To you.
24:06I have a letter for Hamilton Equitable.
24:09Then I'd better take it.
24:14I've places to be, even if you don't.
24:16Mulled wine, mints pies and the like.
24:17To hand over the letter, you've gone to all the trouble of bringing me and take your leave.
24:22You're Hamilton Equitable?
24:24You're in the money lending business?
24:26Only to you.
24:27Heard you got yourself into trouble as the weak often do and saw an opportunity.
24:30Now get out of my shop.
24:31Leave any correspondence you have on the mat and I'll reply after Christmas.
24:34This is the best Christmas present I could ever have.
24:37Well, this hears me thinking that I had to pay that money back.
24:40It's a Hamilton Equitable, some kind of real firm.
24:43No, it's real, all right.
24:44Some little jumped-up housemaid bearing a grudge because she got rejected is no real business.
24:48Take that up with a team of lawyers who have verified my interest rates and the contract you signed.
24:53Now get out of my shop.
24:55And I want that money back tomorrow, as agreed.
24:59I think you're clever, don't you?
25:01Where's the child in the heart?
25:05I haven't got a child.
25:06Oh, come on.
25:07Where's the child you had that belongs to my brother?
25:09I did not have your brother's baby.
25:14You're nothing but a whore.
25:16A good one, I have no doubt.
25:18But nonetheless, a whore.
25:21Edwin told me the whole sorry tale.
25:23Late one night, tears in his eyes.
25:25I don't know what story he's told you or himself.
25:27I didn't have Edwin's child.
25:29Does your father know how much debt you're in?
25:31I know.
25:32Your game, Emma Hart.
25:34I know.
25:34It's common practice with tramps from the working class
25:37that you'll turn up with your child at some stage to blackmail our family.
25:40Well, you've had enough money out of me.
25:46You know Edwin's married now, don't you?
25:50Not that his wife gives him what he wants.
25:55Not like you did, I'm sure.
25:58I saw how stuck on you Edwin was.
26:00So I imagine you know how to move those hips of yours, don't you?
26:04Oh, come on.
26:05You gave it up willingly enough for Edwin.
26:07And I'm not about taking his seconds.
26:10What's the matter?
26:11I was like you already any time of day or night.
26:15It's your Christmas spirit, Emma Hart.
26:17I can see you.
26:17Put on your little dress for me.
26:19Get off!
26:20I used to see you in my house.
26:23Watching.
26:24You know what?
26:25You guys knew what you wanted.
26:27So did I.
26:29So did I.
26:31Yes, you do.
26:32I know you.
26:33I can tell.
26:55That is the final deposit in settlement of my account.
27:07Get out because I mean it.
27:08I will kill you.
27:09I will.
27:11I like a tiger.
27:12I like you wild.
27:14Emma Hart.
27:15You are nothing, Cheryl Fairley.
27:17You are an insignificant man who's had every advantage his whole life.
27:22Yet the only way you feel like a winner is to use physical strength for approximately 15 seconds.
27:28Well, your body might be stronger than mine, but your resolve never will be.
27:31Your filthy animal needs will never match the lust, the fire that burns inside of me.
27:37Because my desire is destruction.
27:39And I'll never stop.
27:40Not ever.
27:41Not till I've ruined you and every other member of your self-absorbed, privileged and spineless family.
27:46You boring little tramp.
27:47And as for the money you owe, check your contract.
27:49I'm calling in your collateral.
27:54You, you, you couldn't.
27:56One signature from me and it's done.
27:58When I sign that paper, every brick of Fairley Mill will belong to me.
28:02And I'll leave it up to you to explain to your dad why you put it up as security.
28:05Because this is just the start.
28:07I won't stop making your family pay till every Fairley living mourns the day they ever heard the name Emma
28:12Hart.
28:17It's a happy Christmas, Gerald Fairley.
28:20More Hamilton equitable than Hart Enterprises.
28:31Let's go.
28:33Let's go.
28:33Let's go.
29:18Let's go.
29:34I got the Yule log.
29:36Well, that's good.
29:37Because we're going to need all the supplies that we can get.
29:39Sure, if there'd been no Yule log, I'd have had my coat on and be striding out that door.
29:45What's a Yule log?
29:49You came.
29:51You here.
29:56Happy Christmas.
30:00Good morning.
30:01You all right?
30:02I am now.
30:04Max got a surprise of his own.
30:12Oh, I'm sorry.
30:14Hello.
30:16Emma, this is Laura.
30:18My friend.
30:21A special friend?
30:24Isn't that great news.
30:26It is.
30:27Of course it is.
30:29I kept telling Mac it wasn't a day of French Productions, but you know what he's like.
30:34He did tell you I was coming.
30:39Of course.
30:41Welcome.
30:42Welcome indeed.
30:44And for goodness sake, let's have a drink, shall we?
30:47What?
30:47What?
30:48Oh.
30:58Oh.
31:11Oh, my God.
31:34Oh, my God.
31:59Oh, my God.
32:27Oh, my God.
32:33Oh, my God.
32:36Oh, my God.
32:37Oh, my God.
32:45you've introduced, so I'm guessing Laura's not like the others. The many others.
32:50That's nice. The lot of it. I barely know any girls at all.
33:02Not in danger of settling down, are ya? Shane O'Neil? Sure. It takes a special girl to get a
33:13proposal from me, in my heart.
33:58Later on, Pat. You can't give a man a present and not let him open it.
34:03What is it, Daddy? My love, your gift is outside the front of the house. Is it a treasure hunt?
34:10Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt!
34:13I mean, what needs to be kept cold? A beer? Not a beef and potato pie.
34:25Daddy, look! Is it for you?
34:28Not for me. No, Emma!
34:32I know you want to be.
34:34Yeah, but I never dreamed it.
34:37Have you seen this?
34:40The car from my beautiful, hard-working wife.
34:44No more hardship for Emma Hart, eh?
34:48Well done, my morning.
34:49Let's go for an adventure!
35:00I have an unimaginative gift I need help with.
35:05Thanks.
35:06My husband hasn't shown his devotion to me with cheap chocolates.
35:09No, these are definitely mid-range.
35:20I don't agree with everything Mr Fairley says, but...
35:25I'm sure he's right, that your sister would want you to be happy.
35:30Who knows what a tell would have wanted.
35:34If she didn't know herself, I suspect.
35:38All I know is how strange it feels with her gone.
35:44It's as if everything's gone dark.
35:50People leave us, but the love doesn't.
35:53You think you can't stand it, the grief.
35:57Then one day it starts to become bearable.
36:01The sun comes out.
36:06Olivia!
36:09Where have you got to?
36:11Olivia!
36:17We can look for it ourselves all we like,
36:19but what we're all hoping for is that love finds us.
36:23Don't you think?
36:25Real love.
36:28The kind you don't have to question.
36:52No.
36:55You saw Edwin's reaction.
36:56He was horrified.
36:58And if we think that anyone at all will feel any differently,
37:01then we're lying to ourselves.
37:02I mean, for God's sake, I don't feel any differently.
37:04It is horrifying.
37:08I can't do it, I'm sorry.
37:09I can't.
37:20So it was all for nothing then.
37:27Adele's death.
37:30You broke your sister's heart.
37:32She drank herself to death.
37:35We all lost her.
37:36We all suffered this unimaginable, utter misery.
37:40But for no reason.
37:46Olivia.
37:49If we don't legitimize this,
37:51if we don't show the world that you and I weren't just fooling around,
37:59then how do you explain what the hell you're still doing here?
38:02What's been going on in this house?
38:07How do we explain it to the boys?
38:09What do we explain this to you?
38:11How do we explain this?
38:26How do we explain it to us?
38:49For my beautiful wife, if it eats the shop, all three, all in your name, Merry Christmas.
38:59I want to pay for them.
39:01I mean it.
39:02Have all the money saved.
39:12That car was some present.
39:16Joe deserves some consolation for his absentee wife.
39:20He deserves not to feel stuck.
39:25Also, you deserve a husband who can speed you up and down in a fancy sports car.
39:31He did want a car, it's just that maybe he wanted other things more.
39:44It can be lonely, am I right?
39:50Having purpose, being so certain every day, not everyone understands, so it can be lonely.
40:08Laura's wonderful.
40:10She's a good woman.
40:12Seems stuck on you.
40:14Can you blame the girl?
40:18She's not like us, though.
40:21Well, what a relief.
40:22Well, she wants a quiet life.
40:24Although, did you see her in the passenger seat, screaming, she was.
40:29She's a dark horse.
40:31Yes.
40:31Say that.
40:37I'm glad you like her, though.
40:41Well, that's important.
40:47I'm buying the shops from Joe.
40:49All of them.
40:51And I've got myself a present, too.
40:59You're looking at the new owner of Fairley Mill.
41:07Because when you're busy making sacrifices every day, you deserve the odd reward.
41:15You're doing it, Emma.
41:18You're doing it, Emma.
41:19I am.
41:21I am.
41:22And I'm only just beginning.
41:30Wow.
41:31Check the shops.
41:31Beep beep.
41:32Check the shops.
41:34Emma.
41:35I want to.
41:36Please.
41:37To feel safe.
41:39I want to.
41:42How was it?
41:43Oh.
41:44She's a dream.
41:46The car ran the wife.
41:50I wanted you to have something you loved.
41:53So did I.
41:56Hey.
42:00Hello.
42:02Oh.
42:05Oh.
42:07Oh.
42:12I didn't want to get surprised you.
42:14Hey, don't we.
42:16Yeah.
42:17Are you surprised?
42:18I am, Mophrod.
42:20I am.
42:20I am.
42:22I am.
42:22I am.
42:23It's more important, eh, than family.
42:27I can't read it.
42:28Oh.
42:30Oh.
42:30Oh.
42:32Oh.
42:34Oh.
42:34Oh.
42:34Oh.
42:37Oh.
42:37Where have you been?
42:39You've missed quite a day.
42:42Did you at least manage to buy yourself more time?
42:45Gerald!
42:48Mother was the only one who thought anything of me, wasn't she?
42:52This is about the debt.
42:53Gerald.
42:54It's just money. It doesn't matter.
42:56It's gone. The mill's gone. She's taken it.
43:00Who has? Who's taken it?
43:01Your little whore, Emma Hart.
43:07Strutting around like she's anything more than just a tramp maid.
43:11And she's dangerous. She won't stop there.
43:14But we can make sure she gets what's coming to her.
43:17Can't we, Edwin?
43:20We'll remind Emma Hart who she really is.
43:23We'll make her sorry, won't we?
43:34She's lost.
43:36She's lost.
43:37She's lost.
