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

25:10no
25:10no
25:12No, not yet. No. No.
25:15Dad!
25:17We're going to the trumpet world.
25:18Swimming on me.
25:25Dad.
25:35Dad.
25:40I'm so sorry.
25:42I'm so sorry.
25:47I'm so sorry.
25:48I've been driving.
25:56You rest now.
26:14I'm so sorry.
26:24I'm so sorry.
26:26I'm so sorry.
26:26I'm so sorry.
26:32Oh, you're here, are you? About time. No time for moping in my heart. Missed half a day
26:40yesterday and we'll have a party tomorrow.
26:47It's a lovely morning out there, so no need for these, I don't think.
26:59You made any progress with your book? Would you like me to read to you again? I wouldn't
27:09like. No, not at all. Right. I heard there was to be a party. Oh, Sir Vikram. He's terribly
27:21important, so I suspect desperately boring. Well, thank you for stepping in. Well, that's
27:30not a question of stepping in. You know, just while I'm here, for your sake, I may as well
27:38every now and again run my eyes over Adam's business papers. What else do you run your eye over?
27:47Nadal. Olivia, why would any man ever be beguiled by beige when he has every colour of the
27:58rainbow upstairs? You'll need a rest, I expect. Then perhaps tomorrow I could read. Oh, will
28:12you have made a charming mother, Olivia.
28:27Emma? I was... I heard about your mother.
28:44I've been thinking, sir. Might I be considered to look after Mrs...
28:54Might you be considered to what? I believe, Squire Fairley, that it's important to take your
29:02chances in life. And I reckon I understand the mistress. So I'm wondering if I might look
29:07after her from now on, as a personal maid. I think if you ask the mistress, she'd like
29:14that too. I was thinking for Shaleen tomorrow a week.
29:21Hmm.
29:24Hmm.
29:28Hmm.
29:38Hmm.
29:40Hmm.
29:43Hmm.
29:46Hmm.
29:48Hmm.
29:48Hmm.
29:48Hmm.
29:48When you know loss, Emma, it can suddenly feel like it's all you know. But you know a whole
29:55lot. So that's what you hold on to, do you hear? Because you're hungry. Isn't that right?
30:05And when you've no one hungry, well, sure, you stay hungry.
30:10Emma, heart!
30:13What have you been saying to the master?
30:18From now on, he says it's your job to take the mistress's tray.
30:24Well, I don't know why you're standing still when the mistress is upstairs waiting.
30:33Emma?
30:39I finally feel like I'm being taken care of.
30:43So much for friends.
30:45I'm sorry I have a family to look after.
30:48I know what Mrs Fairley likes.
30:50But it's about what she needs. And when she needed you, you were with the master.
30:54Oh, well, isn't she lucky? Having you to show her just our life's done.
30:59Blame me if you like, Paul. Either if you do, I'm sure. But I know you're really disappointed in yourself.
31:08Stay there.
31:10Come back here, you little brat. You'll never be a lady on the heart. Your dad's a layabout.
31:15And your mum. Your mum spent her all life trying to be better than us, too.
31:20Then proved she weren't after all by dying of being poor.
31:30Oi!
31:32Oi!
31:34Enough!
31:35Enough!
31:36Enough!
31:37Absolute disgrace!
31:39A pair of you!
31:40Right, come here.
31:41What have you got to say?
31:42Hey?
31:43She tied me!
31:44She tied me!
31:46Right, fetch your fingers!
31:48Come on!
31:49No!
31:49No!
31:52Derald!
31:53Derald!
31:54I was running errands for you, wasn't I?
31:57Tell him!
31:59I don't know what you're talking about.
32:01Good decision, Murgelshroyd.
32:02We have dogs to do our attacking.
32:13Mothers, come and go. That is how life works, Emma.
32:18And jobs are the same if you're not careful.
32:25We always used to look out for each other.
32:27Now we're fighting like animals.
32:30This place is wicked.
32:33All the mountains of food going to waste.
32:35And your mother talking about dreams.
32:37Do you know what my dad dreams of?
32:39Survival!
32:41That me man might have...
32:46He should have lived.
32:49I'm sorry.
32:51I'm sorry about your mother.
32:53When I grow up, I won't ever be poor.
32:57I won't ever want for anything like my mum did every last second of her life.
33:00And none of my family will.
33:01I promise you that.
33:02I promise you.
33:03Emma, you've got me.
33:03My world's not yours.
33:05My father breaks his back holding bricks while your father sits ordering lunch while his workers half-starved.
33:11Your family will want you to marry some rich girls so that when you're a fancy lawyer she'll get writing.
33:18Emma, listen to me.
33:19You're talking about other people.
33:22Not the two of us.
33:24You and I are just the same.
33:28Only one of us has covered egg.
33:37What's all this, Frank?
33:39Eh?
33:43I bumped my head.
33:48My mum always used to kiss it better.
33:53But also...
33:54Where do I keep bloody bumping it?
33:59Because you're a hooligan.
34:02And foul mouths too.
34:03No.
34:04Come on.
34:06I'll cry until the bloody washing up's done.
34:17This party today.
34:19I should go.
34:20Shouldn't I?
34:21I must, but...
34:24Will I survive?
34:26When I'm drinking I might do anything.
34:29Which is, of course, the curse and the bliss of it.
34:31There's your answer.
34:32No drinking.
34:33Let's get your dress for now, Mrs Fairley.
34:34Then see what comes next.
34:36Is it beautiful enough, do you think?
34:39If I just take these roses off.
34:40No.
34:42You'll ruin it.
34:43It'll be dry, won't it?
34:44It won't, Mrs Fairley.
34:45It'll be elegant.
34:46I can change the neckline.
34:48These sleeves.
34:49Maybe even a slit in the skirt.
34:51Trust me.
34:57I remember having your skin.
35:02Just keep breathing, Mrs Fairley.
35:05When you're nervous, put your hand on your heart
35:09and check it's still there.
35:24You'll go downstairs and look kindly at your sister.
35:27You'll tell your stories and let the whole room admire you.
35:30You can do it, Mrs Fairley.
35:32Of course you can.
36:03I'm sorry, may I?
36:10You've been very quiet.
36:12Are you nervous about the party?
36:14Oh no, I'm fine.
36:19It's stupid.
36:21Tell me.
36:25I know I'm only here to fill in for my sister.
36:28I'm only playing the part of...
36:31But some days it feels real.
36:34It does.
36:34It feels real to me too, sometimes.
36:40I barely used to eat in the morning, you know.
36:44There was no one to share things with.
36:47I had no conversation, no partner.
36:49And now it's...
36:54You.
37:05I...
37:17I...
37:35You see, the trick is to not let any of the ringleaders on the middle floor think they have the
37:40upper hand.
37:41Although in the case of the girl that had the accident, it's the only hand she's got.
37:45What about you, Edwin?
37:47Any thoughts on keeping workers in check?
37:50Truthfully, sir, I'm not sure it's up to us to actually...
37:53I'm afraid we have an idealist on our hands, Sir Vikram.
37:58But...
37:59He's a bright lad.
38:02Well, Edwin, if you are a free thinker, you sound the same as Priya here. Isn't that right, Priya?
38:07It depends on how free he is and what he thinks about.
38:15It goes without saying, doesn't it, Adam, that anyone who invests in our meal will benefit from the unprecedented profit
38:21margins that we mentioned earlier.
38:24You must be a busy man, Squire Fil.
38:27The sister-in-law never off duty and I hear her wife upstairs.
38:32Yes.
38:34My wife sends her apologies. She's...
38:38Unwell.
38:41A party?
38:42For little old me?
38:58I'm sorry.
39:00I'm sorry.
39:01Just...
39:05Papa?
39:09Oh, Olivia, you look charming.
39:12Adele, how wonderful to see you up and about.
39:17Oh, goodness.
39:20Darling!
39:21What a dress!
39:22You're a picture.
39:26It's a Vikram.
39:28This is my wife.
39:40We are the same, Emma.
39:44We're just the same.
39:52Though, admittedly, right now I feel a fair bit sillier than you.
39:55It's quite sharper in the fact that I shell and so on.
39:59You're supposed to be impressing them inside.
40:01They'll be around.
40:02I don't care about any of them.
40:04It is wicked here, you're quite right.
40:07It's unbearable.
40:11So it's neither of us bear it.
40:27Emma!
40:29Emma!
40:30Come on.
40:43You're beautiful.
40:44You're beautiful.
40:46I covered in egg.
41:09You're getting it everywhere.
41:13I'll be such a row if I'm not back.
41:17Do you want to go back?
41:20No.
41:21No.
41:33You're all wet.
41:34You're not cold.
41:37Hmm.
41:46Oh.
41:49Oh.
41:51Oh.
41:51Oh.
41:52Oh.
41:52Oh.
41:58What is it?
42:00Rings.
42:04Who's there?
42:09I never heard you, Emma.
42:12But we mustn't.
42:22That's all.
42:23Unless you have to.
42:39It's hard to tell.
42:40What are you doing?
42:41What are you doing?
42:42A few times.
42:42I'm glad you could go back.
42:46And the other one.
42:46Oh, my God.
42:47Oh, my God.
42:47Oh, my God.
42:49Oh, my God.
42:56I love you, Emma.
42:59I love you my whole life.
43:44Oh, yes, Mr. Fairley.
43:46After everything your family did to me, I've dedicated my entire life to revenge.
