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!
02:07Mrs. Hart!
02:07Good morning, Ted.
02:09Hello!
02:12Mrs. Hart!
02:13Mrs. Hart!
02:30That sure rolls around.
02:32Perfumes, ground floor.
02:34Jewelry, floor three.
02:35Otherwise, dog houses, floor six.
02:38My regards to Cheryl.
02:40Please, I know this must be a shop.
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, I'm 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 in those I don't.
03:21Accountant.
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.
03:45One 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 un-earn.
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...
04:49is revenge.
04:51Strange.
04:52Strange.
04:55Strange.
05:02Strange.
05:19I'm looking for Farley Hall.
05:23Sorry to have startled you.
05:24I'm 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 mom 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?
06:23I thought it had a wasp in it.
06:38Edwin.
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 family?
06:55Father's hosting a weekend for some dignitary or other.
06:59I'm supposed to impress them.
07:01Well, good luck.
07:02Being impressive.
07:06Emma.
07:15Faster than you look.
07:18For the chimneys, Shane O'Neill but the whole world calls a Mac.
07:22This 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.
08:01Let's go.
08:47Perhaps you'd like to treat yourself just on toast with that jam.
08:51Moderation.
08:51In all things.
08:54Except preserves.
08:55Oh, no, no.
08:57Did your father tell you how cleverly he ironed out his issue with that foreword?
09:01Yes.
09:02All 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?
09:12Dichandra, Sir Vikram and his daughter Priya, are coming to us straight from his trading meetings
09:17at Downing Street.
09:18You did say yes.
09:20Gosh.
09:21We must do our very best to get Dichandras on side.
09:25Let's see if we can't do our bit for Anglo-Indian relations.
09:29Please.
09:29Well, Edwin never lets anyone down.
09:38I don't know.
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.
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.
10:36But it's different now, isn't it?
10:38Since that kiss, it's changed.
10:40How can it not be better?
10:42I know you, Emma.
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.
10:55I don't.

15:22I hate not to live up to your expectations
15:26every man has the right to expect his mad wife in the attic to behave appropriately
15:42I shouldn't have come
15:43I shouldn't have come
15:48but you wanted to come
15:55I'm always here

16:49Mrs. Fairley's waiting
16:53Polly's on an errand
16:55she does realise she's the lady's maid
16:57she's got responsibilities
17:01I'll take it
17:22you're not Polly
17:23I'm Emma Mrs. Fairley
17:24Emma Hart
17:25well Emma Hart
17:28my husband is leaving
17:29but don't worry
17:30he always comes back again
17:32we're busy downstairs
17:34there's a party this weekend
17:35I like parties
17:37yes
17:38but my mad wife never dares leave her room
17:40how many years Adele
17:42since 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
17:54Olivia 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
18:01and I think it would be safer
18:02I 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 down the stairs
18:28what you need to understand is
18:30we work out hard in this Chandra, Adele
18:31we?
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
18:51slow, breathe
19:20I was just washing
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.
20:19Most people just assume you're nobody and then dismiss you.
20:24Do 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.
20:50But 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.
21:31Oh, is 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?
22:08Give her a visitor.
22:19That's not here to come.
22:21Hi, Emma.
22:31Emma.
22:32Emma.
22:32Emma.
22:33Emma.
22:34Go away from me.
22:35I'll just throw you down.
22:36Don't be daft.
22:37We have to both go.
22:37Honest.
22:38I'll say goodbye.
22:39You'll go.
22:40Please, please, go.
22:43I'm sorry.
22:44I love you.
22:46Go.
22:47Go.
23:11I'm coming, Mom.
23:13I'm coming.
23:27I'm coming.
23:28I'm coming.
23:30I'm coming.
23:41Look at me.
23:45She's not left, love.
23:49Mum.
23:50It's me.
23:51It's Emma.
23:54I waited for you.
24:00I'm scared.
24:02Get out.
24:04Get on Emma.
24:07You hear me?
24:08Promise me?
24:09Promise me.
24:11I'm her baby.

24:14I'm here.

28:10you know
28:12you would have made a charming mother olivia
28:26emma
28:32i was
28:44i've been thinking sir
28:46might i be considered to look after mrs
28:54would you be considered to ward
28:59i believe squire fairly
29:01that it's important to take your chances in life
29:03and i reckon i understand the mistress
29:06so i was wondering if i might look after her from now on
29:09as a personal maid
29:12i think if you ask the mistress she'd like that too
29:17are we thinking for she needs more a week
29:21hmm
29:22hmm
29:26hmm
29:27hmm
29:30hmm
29:30hmm
29:48When you know loss, Emma, it can suddenly feel like it's all you know, but you know a whole lot.
29:57So that's what you hold on to, do you hear?
30:01Because you're hungry, isn't that right?
30:05And when you've no one hunger, well, sure, you stay hungry.
30:10Emma Hart!
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?
30:56Having you to show her just our life's done.
30:59Blame me if you like, Paul.
31:00Either if you do, I'm sure, but I know you're really disappointed in yourself.
31:10Come back here, you little brat.
31:12You'll never be a lady in the heart.
31:14Your dad's a layabout, and your mum.
31:16Your mum spent her all life trying to be better than us two.
31:19Then prove she weren't after all by dying of being poor.
31:26Oh!
31:30Oi!
31:32Oi!
31:34Enough!
31:35Enough!
31:36Enough!
31:37Absolute disgrace!
31:39A pair of you!
31:40Come 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!
31:51No!
31:52Gerald!
31:53Gerald!
31:54I was running errands for you, wasn't I?
31:56Tell 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.
32:15That 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...
32:46You should have lived.
32:49I'm sorry.
32:51I'm so 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.
33:00None 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 hauling bricks while your father sits ordering lunch while his workers are half-starved.
33:11The family will want you to marry some rich girl so that when you're a fancy lawyer she'll get right
33:15in.
33:16Emma.
33:18Listen 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 me head.
33:48My mum always used to kiss you better.
33:53But also...
33:54Where do I keep bloody bumping it?
33:59Because you're a hooligan.
34:02And foul mouths too.
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?
34:22I must, but...
34:23Will I survive?
34:25When 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?
34:38If I just take these roses off.
34:40No.
34:41You'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, these sleeves,
34:49maybe even a slit in the skirt.
34:50Trust me.
34:58I remember having your skin.
35:02Just keep breathing, Mrs Fairley.
35:05When you're nervous,
35:07put 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
35:28and let the whole room admire you.
35:30You can do it, Mrs Fairley.
35:32Of course you can.
35:33You're welcome.
35:44You're welcome.
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.
36:46I had no conversation, no partner, and now it's...
36:54You.
37:10I'm sorry, I should...
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 Vigra.
37:57But...
37:59He's a bright lad.
38:02Well, Edwin, if you are a free thinker, you sound the same as Priya here.
38:06Isn't that right, Priya?
38:07Well, it 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.
38:25You must be a busy man, Squire Fil.
38:27A sister-in-law, never of duty, and I hear, a wife upstairs.
38:32Yes, uh, my wife sends her apologies.
38:36She's unwell.
38:41A party for little old me?
39:09Oh, Olivia, you look charming.
39:12Adele, how wonderful to see you up and about.
39:18Oh, goodness, darling, what a dress.
39:22You're a picture.
39:25It's a big room.
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 back than 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, Barrett.
40:27Emma!
40:30Come on.
40:42You're beautiful.
40:44You're beautiful.
40:46I covered an 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?
41:33You're all wet.
41:34You're not cold.
41:58What is it?
42:00Rings.
42:03Who's there?
42:09I'd never heard you, Emma.
42:12But we mustn't.
42:26I'll be like, oh.
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.
43:56I love you.
