00:00.
00:09Change the grace, Mirabella, call, to an in-person meet at Vogue HQ this afternoon, please.
00:15I need to be out and about.
00:18Let people see for themselves my children's claims about my ill health are greatly exaggerated.
00:23Grandy, have you spoken to any of them?
00:24I wonder if a calmer, more considered conversation with Aunt Edwina might...
00:29I get Henry Rossiter to come and see me.
00:32I need to liquidate some assets.
00:34Really? How much do you need?
00:36Seven million pounds.
00:38What for?
00:39And as much as it pains me to say it, I should make a television appearance.
00:43So call Peter Lasali and tell him it's finally a yes for The Tonight Show.
00:48And after that, I'd like you to call Jim Fairley and put an end to your dalliance with him.
00:57I... I don't know what you...
01:00I didn't even know who he was when we first met him.
01:03I thought you were serious about your future here, Paula.
01:06I thought you had ambition.
01:07I am. I do.
01:08Then it ends today.
01:10But, Grandy, I love him.
01:13Paula, I understand.
01:16Believe me, that occasionally one can find oneself distracted.
01:21But one must use that distraction as a springboard for moving on.
01:26You and Jim Fairley are over.
01:29End of story.
01:31You've done it where I am without making sacrifices.
01:35Jesus.
01:40James...
01:41Jesus...
01:42You were just notoh.
01:45It was he.
01:51It wasn't that...
02:00Yes.
02:02It wasn't this.
02:04He all went before you...
02:07Ready for your grand opening day?
02:13Have a lovely day.
02:34All right, you were settled down.
02:37He's my second, and compared to the first, he's just an angel.
02:42Emma, is this don't tell anyone the words to go?
02:45Terry.
02:46Terry.
03:13He's my second, and
03:27I'll have to persuade my husband.
03:30underneath a new jacket. It'll be showing me up in church.
03:33Perhaps sweeten them up first.
03:35Have you seen my treacle tart kits?
03:36My mother's recipe. My dad used to ask for one instead of
03:38a birthday cake in June.
03:44So, you've been working every day,
03:46every second. When will this place be running
03:48smoothly enough for you to take time off and see your family?
03:51Eh? Menswear.
03:52What should be next? Perfect way to expand the customer
03:54base. Can I have a look at yours?
03:58Yes.
03:59But if you're going to undress me,
04:02perhaps without an audience.
04:04Sorry.
04:07Tweed. I'm going to need lots of tweed.
04:09Can you...
04:11I'm good at being in charge.
04:21I'm going to need whatever you've got in tweed,
04:23worsted wool, maybe some linen.
04:26You can't be running dry already.
04:27It's not in a menswear line.
04:29Did you hear?
04:30They're selling Dewsbury Mill.
04:32Someone will make a fortune.
04:33Yeah, they'll have to spend one first.
04:35You should buy it.
04:35Think how much bigger your profit margins will be.
04:37No, thank you.
04:39That would be too risky for my raft to take out a whacking loan.
04:41It'd be more than pay for itself.
04:42Given how poorly everyone thinks of the Fairley Mills produce,
04:45I reckon the contracts they've got left will be yours for the day.
04:48Mr. Lowther, you've seen what she's doing?
04:51Treacle tart kits in her dressmakers.
04:54Have you ever heard of such a thing?
04:55I knew it.
04:56The second you let her move in, I said to my husband, I said she's after my shop.
04:59Mrs. Hart is free to sell whatever she wants.
05:01Oh, you would say that.
05:03Protecting your fancy woman.
05:05Emma is a married woman.
05:06Who's she married to?
05:08The invisible man.
05:09I've seen the way she's in and out of your shop like nobody's business.
05:12Well, it sounds like you made it your business.
05:13Mrs. Minton, if you want to keep leasing my premises,
05:16I suggest you apologise to Mrs. Hart immediately.
05:18And spend less time worrying about what she's selling,
05:20and more about what you're selling,
05:22which as of late, I suspect is not very much.
05:29Sorry.
05:31Invisible husband, invisible baby.
05:34Thanks for asking, Mrs. Minton,
05:35but my daughter's been very well looked after as a matter of fact.
05:37She wants her for nothing.
05:39Emma?
05:43What does she know, eh?
05:44She thinks we're carrying on.
05:47She can be her shop.
05:48I never keep you waiting for rent.
05:50I'd be too worried that she'd bludgeon us both to death
05:52with one of your treacle tarts.
06:01Some fish-eye darts at the front here
06:03would make for a better silhouette, don't you think?
06:05It would pull in the waist without...
06:07Just open the pool.
06:09Yes.
06:10You're right.
06:12Clean the lines.
06:17Can I take your measurements?
06:18For samples?
06:22Shall I?
06:23Yes.
06:24Thanks.
06:45Most people
06:47could wait more than a few months
06:48after opening a ladies' wear shop to expand.
06:52I think it's too soon.
06:53No.
06:54I don't.
06:58And this is exactly why I wanted to work with you.
07:07Because you're not most people.
07:20I can't, I can't, I can't, I'm married.
07:22Well, someone should remind your husband of that, because it's been almost a year, Emma,
07:26and he hasn't bothered to come near you, not even when he gave birth to his child.
07:29He's always...
07:29Well, week after week, I say to myself, has he any idea who he married?
07:33Does he know you?
07:34Has he seen you?
07:37Because surely if he'd had even a glimpse of you, he'd not be able to tear himself from
07:40your side.
07:41No, no, no, no, wait after...
07:41I look after...
07:41I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
07:44I am sorry.
07:45I look after I...
08:14Emma Hart, isn't it?
08:17Yes.
08:18How can I help you, Mrs...
08:20Miss... Chandra?
08:22At least for the next few weeks, then it'll be Mrs. Edwin Fairley.
08:28That's why I'm here.
08:45Yes, I can see.
08:49Just needs the odd adjustment.
08:53All we have to do is...
08:54Burn it.
08:57It's a fairly alien they insisted I try on, and as you can see, it fits.
09:01Which is rather unfortunate, because it's an absolute monstrosity.
09:08I'm sorry.
09:09So am I.
09:10But I kept hearing such wonderful things about this place.
09:13I was hoping you could make it even a tiny bit less hideous.
09:17Let's see.
09:21I always imagined I'd get married in what my mother wore to her wedding.
09:25It was a beautiful red sari.
09:27Bold thread.
09:29But she won't be at the wedding herself.
09:36She passed away.
09:40I'm sorry.
09:42And to lose a mother, that's...
09:46I know.
09:48It's the worst thing.
09:50Yes.
09:52It is.
10:00He writes to you.
10:04Letters.
10:06Constantly.
10:09Though he seems to have no intention of sending them, so...
10:12I suppose I was always going to find them eventually.
10:19Why did you come here?
10:22If I'm going to spend the rest of my life with a man whose heart is broken,
10:26I thought I ought to at least have a good look at the woman responsible.
10:29If Edwin's heart is broken, it's entirely his own doing.
10:32I can assure you of that.
10:40You can look.
10:46Well, I'd have made me look an absolute fright if I were you.
10:50Oh, I considered it.
10:51It was a time I'd have ruined the dress completely.
10:54Anything to get back at them, even a little bit.
10:59I made a vow, you see.
11:02Spend the rest of my life punishing them.
11:04All of the fairies.
11:07And now?
11:11Sometimes I wonder whether, in doing that, I'm also punishing myself.
11:26Don't marry him.
11:28Not because I want him, or because I'm trying to ruin his life.
11:33I just...
11:34think you deserve more.
11:41He's good to me.
11:44And love can grow, I think.
11:48I have hope.
11:54I know this might be terribly inappropriate, but I really did want you to...
11:58I'll have it delivered.
12:00Thanks, it's finished.
12:24Sure, I thought you'd be pleased to hear Edwin's living a life of misery.
12:28Doesn't it feel good, Emma, to know what you built, all this, while he's been stood still, right where you
12:32left him?
12:32But part of me's been there with him, hasn't it?
12:35Wearing the ring he got me.
12:36Even pretending to have a husband at sea.
12:38Making sure there isn't even the slightest possibility I might one day be able to meet someone else.
12:46Are you ready for that?
12:48I want to be, I think.
12:52But I'm scared.
12:54That rage, the rage against Edwin, it's what's dragging me out of bed every single morning.
12:59It's what's keeping Edwina fed and safe.
13:01If I let that go, am I just going to get distracted again?
13:03Am I going to let my man down?
13:05No.
13:05Emma, that fire inside you is going nowhere.
13:08It's not rage.
13:10It's who you are.
13:11Rage was just the fuel there for a little while, but...
13:13That can come from anywhere.
13:17It can come from love.
13:21You're right.
13:24Emma.
13:25Would you speak to him for me?
13:27Would you speak to David?
13:30You probably noticed how we are around each other.
13:34I never expected it.
13:37Tried to tell myself it wasn't happening, but...
13:39He makes me feel...
13:42I don't know.
13:43Excited.
13:45Fluttery.
13:47Hopeful.
13:48Is that bad?
13:51Never.
13:53What, um...
13:56What do you want me to say to him?
14:21I know I should feel guilty, but these past months, with Adele away, I know I should feel guilty, but
14:27these past months, with Adele away.
14:28I've been the best of my life.
14:37Delivery for you, Miss Chandler.
14:38Oh, thank you.
14:42My wedding dress, so best not to mention it to her.
14:45Of course.
14:46Wouldn't want to bring about any bad luck.
15:04What have you got there?
15:05What have you got there?
15:06Oh, it's, um...
15:08Oh, sorry.
15:09Is that the...
15:11Wedding dress?
15:12Yes.
15:13I had it altered a little.
15:16At this new dressmakers I kept hearing about.
15:21Really?
15:23Right.
15:25Good.
15:26Good.
15:27I hope you got...
15:29What you wanted.
15:46These are...
15:47for you.
15:49Mac told me about your husband.
15:51I'm so sorry.
16:04Why didn't you tell me sooner that he died?
16:10It was a while ago.
16:13I think I was scared...
16:16of us.
16:21Not...
16:23worried about me being...
16:25forward.
16:30Worried I might...
16:38I was just going to have to check you all right.
16:42Well, Mac says you are better.
16:43To lose her husband.
16:46I feel awful.
16:47The things I said about him.
16:48You're right.
16:50The truth is, I lost him a long time ago.
16:55Even before he died.
16:58You make me feel...
16:59like me...
17:14You make me feel...
17:17You make me feel...
17:21You make me feel...
17:34Let's go.
17:34Let's go.
18:14Let's go.
18:19Let's go.
18:25Let's go.
18:27Mother, you look.
18:28I know, darling. Come here.
18:32Sherry, mother.
18:33Shut up, Gerald.
18:34No, thank you, darling.
18:36Yes. Wise.
18:38We've had to switch to the cheap stuff in those two long months you've been on holiday.
18:43There. Still, it's here when you need it.
18:48Tea. We've got tea. I think I'll rest.
18:51Right.
18:52I've come a long way.
18:55But I'm so looking forward to hearing what you've all been up to while I've been gone.
19:21I may have got ahead of myself earlier.
19:26I had a plan, you see. Not much like them.
19:30What did it involve, this plan?
19:32Well, the first step is going to be persuading you to take a day off.
19:36I've committed you out to hard work.
19:43It is time I took a day off.
19:45I need to go back.
19:47Home, I mean. See my family.
19:50I'm so out of touch with them.
19:51Would you be able to mind the shop?
19:53Of course.
19:54But this isn't exactly in line with my plan.
19:56I'm sorry.
19:58It's just any spare moment I have, I go to my cousin's to see Edwina.
20:01So going home, I think I've been scared of the reminders of my husband.
20:07But now I think I'm ready.
20:09See my dad and my brother.
20:12Anyway, that's my plan for Friday.
20:14On Saturday, I'm very much committed to your plan.
20:19Two days off in a row.
20:20Emma Hart, you slacker.
20:21Huh.
20:26Huh.
20:34Huh.
21:02I'm sorry for not being here.
21:05Don't be sorry for that.
21:07It's a relief, if anything.
21:11I'm not just talking about when I left.
21:18I've not been the mother you deserved.
21:23Not for a long time.
21:26Not ever, perhaps.
21:33Do you remember when I was first learning to ride, being rather pathetic about it?
21:41And that night, father made me sleep there in the stables.
21:47I was so against it.
21:50You came, and I begged you to take me back to the house.
21:57You said no.
21:59I knew that I had to face it.
22:00That it was the only way.
22:02I'm so sorry, darling.
22:03No.
22:04You were right.
22:07And you stayed with me, right through till morning.
22:14And by then I wasn't scared anymore.
22:21You were a wonderful mother until you weren't.
22:27And that's what made it so much worse.
22:31There have been so many times where I needed-
22:33I'm here now.
22:39What is it?
22:40You can tell me.
22:43I was trying to help.
22:44I really was.
22:45And I'm bloody good at it.
22:48Everyone says so.
22:51Things are so bad with the business.
22:52I thought that if I could make a bit of extra cash, then father would-
22:58I got reckless and love.
23:01Oh, Christ.
23:03I'm in such a lot of debt.
23:05And father will be so upset.
23:07You leave your father to me.
23:10I'll fix it.
23:11I promise.
23:28What happened?
23:46Yeah.
23:50Because...
23:52What happened?
23:55We raised me a lot.
23:55Oh, God.
23:56I have never done that.
24:08Oh, my God.
24:27I'm trying to do your work. I'm making a right picture of it.
24:32I'm not hungry anyway.
24:36Frank.
24:44Where were you?
24:45Armley. In Leeds.
24:48Why didn't you send me a dress?
24:51I didn't know where you were and we couldn't even write.
24:53I've been working all hours of the day and trying to get myself settled.
24:58What I am now.
25:00You don't look like you.
25:03We really sound like you.
25:05Frank.
25:06Please.
25:08I'm sorry.
25:09But listen, I've got so much to tell you.
25:13I don't care, am I?
25:15You can't just come walking in here after all this time acting like nothing's happened.
25:21I suppose you don't want these presents then?
25:24I've brought loads for you and for Dad.
25:27Come on, Frank. I'll help you clean this up and we can talk.
25:31Expecting Dad home for lunch, are you?
25:33They won't want to eat off the floor, will he?
25:42Why is this winter coat here?
25:45Is he home?
25:52Dad?
25:55Dad?
26:01Dad?
26:03I couldn't get rid of him.
26:05I couldn't get rid of any of it.
26:13I would have known, known. In my heart I would have felt it, I know I would, I would have.
26:24When, what happened?
26:30Sophia, at the mill, here around three months ago. You had to be the hero of course, running into Sheffield.
26:48I wasn't here, I wasn't here.
26:53You are now. I'm sorry. Oh Frank, I'm so sorry.
27:03And of course we'll show you the church tomorrow, it's spectacular. Fairlies have been marrying
27:08there for centuries. To family. To family.
27:15Family. Family. Family.
27:21I will look at them. Did you ever see a more handsome couple?
27:25Oh well, Adam and I tend a few heads back in the day, didn't we Adam? He couldn't keep his
27:30hands off me, I'm glad to say.
27:31But, Edwin is more respectful.
27:37Yeah, Edwin tells me that. I suppose it's different, isn't it? With a marriage of convenience.
27:42Patel? Convenience. In that it's conveniently good for business.
27:46My mother has an unusual sense of humor.
27:49Well, it is good for business, isn't it? More so for ours than yours, I suspect, Sylvia.
27:58Priya, it's so wonderful that you're going to be wearing Adam's mother's wedding dress.
28:02Oh, are you? That is wonderful. Something borrowed. You will fit in perfectly. In this family, you can borrow anything
28:11you like. For example, Sir Vikram, my sister has been borrowing my husband for some time.
28:17I don't.
28:19What? I'm sure Priya knows, don't you darling? She's been sleeping under the same roof. And if she doesn't, she
28:25ought to know what she's marrying into.
28:28I'm so sorry, Sir Vikram. The truth is, my wife is very ill.
28:33Oh, I have never felt better.
28:50Well, this was fun.
29:02I'm so sorry. Don't do that, Livy. Don't apologize as though it was just some accident. Some mistake. You wanted
29:09my husband and you took him.
29:12I've loved him for a very long time. Longer than you've loved me.
29:32Same old Aunt Lily then? Yeah. Remember when she caught Dad teaching us to whistle in the house?
29:38Satan! They're going to summon Satan!
29:40I think Dad did it on purpose to wind her up.
29:48I could have had to come and look after you. But you needn't anymore. You can come to Armley and
29:53help me in the shop.
29:54I can't. I'll be starting boarding school soon.
29:57What?
29:57Yeah. The family's paying for it. The beloved's of kind.
30:01Why would they be doing that?
30:02I suppose they threw their ear with a debt given how Dad saved Master of Green's life.
30:09Edward?
30:11Yeah. That's who we run back in for.
30:17Emma? Emma!
30:24Emma!
30:30No!
30:33Ele's 망 uno!
30:51How are we doing?
30:54Racists.
31:04what the hell were you playing at do you have any idea how important that marriage is you're
31:11going to lecture me on the importance of marriage adele the business is in an incredibly precarious
31:18position our finances are sake don't bore me with the details darling i shall read about them in the
31:23divorce papers we can't divorce let's see adultery yes we can be certain of that and for additional
31:32grounds i believe i shall go for cruelty cruelty you are the queen of cruelty i mean do you really
31:43blame me adele we're seeking solace elsewhere elsewhere perhaps not but my sister
31:54why why did it have to be her adam because she is the only one who understood what it was
32:01like
32:02to watch you disappear you caged me too when you locked yourself in this damn room in sickness and
32:09adam that was the vow remember i spent years blaming myself but you abandoned me the second
32:17you saw that i was sinking you let go of my hand that is not true i tried you drowned
32:23yourself
32:23adele all i ever wanted to do was to please you to stay on that pedestal where you put me
32:29a perfect proper little wife to sit by your side at church every sunday and then to submit to your
32:38darkest desires every night i have never done a thing to you that you didn't yearn for that's absolutely
32:48true
32:54you loved every second of turning me into your little whore
32:59that then you couldn't bear the thought of being married to one
33:06get on your knees
33:17i will never be on my knees again
33:31if i am the problem then why is it that olivia and i have been perfectly happy without you
33:39you you always were unfit at all to be a wife and a mother and olivia though she's wonderful at
33:48both
33:48born for it just like you were born a dirty rotten little
33:58i know
33:58oh
33:59oh
34:08I don't know.
34:32I don't know.
35:00I don't know.
35:35I don't know.
35:59I don't know.
36:10I don't know.
36:25I don't know.
36:36I don't know.
36:53I don't know.
36:56I don't know.
36:57I'm sure there's ever been one.
36:59On that, I do have one more proposition for you.
37:02I don't know.
37:07I don't know.
37:21I don't know.
37:23I don't know.
37:27I don't know.
37:35I don't know.
37:41What did you say to her?
38:03What did you say to her?
38:09I don't know.
38:19I don't know.
38:21I don't know.
38:42I don't know.
39:01I don't know.
39:03I don't know.
39:06I don't know.
39:09I don't know.
39:11I don't know.
39:12I don't know.
39:18I don't know.
39:33I don't know.
39:38I don't know.
39:41I don't know.
39:44I don't know.
39:51I don't know.
39:55I think that you are still.
39:56Yes.
39:56Are you the groom, sir?
39:57Yes.
39:59Sorry.
39:59Who's that?
40:00Mr. Ivins, solicitor.
40:02I must make sure you understand the risks of guaranteeing such a very large loan.
40:06If your bride cannot pay it back, the debt will be yours.
40:11Only in name.
40:12The risk is all mine.
40:14And I won't default, but if I did, we've agreed it would be my stock.
40:17We'd sell off to pay it.
40:19The law says I need a husband to sign on my behalf.
40:22Well, in 45 minutes, that's exactly what I'll have.
40:24No one's going into this blind, Mr. Ivins.
40:27Emma!
40:28I don't believe in superstition.
40:30I think we make our own look.
40:37I'm not sure what I did to get this lucky.
40:41You head to the church.
40:41I won't be long.
40:43Come if you like, Mr. Ivins, we can discuss the terms.
40:51Emma.
40:53Your stock.
40:54Everything you built.
40:55This?
40:56This is just the foundations.
40:58And the loan.
40:58What's that for?
40:59I'm buying Dewsbury Mill.
41:01If I'm making my own fabric, the profit margins will be huge.
41:05You don't know how to run a mill.
41:06But I know a lot of men who do.
41:09Men who loved my dad as much as I do.
41:12Men who were dissatisfied with the current employer.
41:15You're going to steal workers from the Fairleys?
41:17I'm just going to make them a better offer.
41:21So what's back then?
41:22The rage.
41:24I thought you were moving on.
41:26But this is all about revenge.
41:28Yes, it is.
41:29And it feels wonderful.
41:30Emma.
41:32A loveless marriage.
41:34There are worse things.
41:35Well, if you're so hell-bent on marrying someone you don't love, marry me then.
41:38I already asked you once.
41:40But I do love you.
41:46Imagine me ruining your life.
41:49Joe can help me.
41:51And he wants to.
41:52And he's got influence.
41:55Joe's a decent man.
41:56And he won't be a distraction.
41:58I let myself get carried away thinking I could put all of this behind me.
42:02Put them behind me.
42:03And now my father's dead.
42:04That wasn't your fault.
42:06Oh, I know that.
42:07My father's blood's on Fairley hands.
42:08And I won't rest until every drop of theirs is on mine.
42:11No Fairley will ever come near me or my family ever again.
42:20You can't tell me who to love.
42:23I'm a grown woman.
42:25I'm simply giving you a choice.
42:27Between Jim Fairley and your future at this company.
42:31You don't even know him.
42:33Only her surname.
42:34Do you think it's a coincidence his interest in you?
42:37My grandchild?
42:38My protege?
42:39Neither of us knew who the other was when we first met.
42:41Oh, come along, Paula.
42:42Don't be so naive.
42:43The whole world knows I've been training you to be me.
42:47To take over everything.
42:48Of course a Fairley would seek to take advantage.
42:51What if this isn't about you?
42:52As incomprehensible as that may seem to someone so self-centered.
42:57You have no idea what I have sacrificed.
43:01What if Jim loves me for me?
43:03The fact that you think I would want to be you.
43:07Surrounded by people but entirely alone.
43:10No, thank you.
43:11I choose life.
43:24Yes, Mrs. Hart?
43:26Jerry.
43:27Mrs. Hart?
43:28Would you call an ambulance, please?
43:31Mrs. Hart?
43:31Mrs. Hart?
43:32I think now I'm having a heart attack.
43:35Oh, my God.
43:37Mrs. Hart?
43:39Mrs. Hart?
43:40Mrs. Hart?
