00:09The End
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?
00:25I wonder if a calmer, more considered conversation with Aunt Edwina might...
00:29Henry Rossiter to come and see me I need to liquidate some assets really how much

00:42I should make a television appearance so call Peter La Salle and tell him it's

00:50Fairley and put an end to your dalliance with him

01:03were serious
01:04about your future here Paula I thought you had ambition I am I do then it ends today but
01:10I love him Paula I understand believe me that occasionally one can find oneself distracted
01:21but one must use that distraction as a springboard for moving on you and Jim
01:27Fairley are over end of story you've done it where I am without making sacrifices
01:35joined me and I want to kill you just did it what it was
01:48important okay I'll remove you from now you want to call me what you want to know
02:05what it is Ryan you want to understand me that we want to send you some answers
02:07Ready for your grand opening day?
02:13Have a lovely day.
02:34All right.
02:35The second guy, he'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.
02:50Oh, my God.
02:57Oh, my God.
03:25Perfect, Mrs. Jacobs.
03:27With the height you've been blessed with, I take the skirt up to mid-calf.
03:29I'll have to persuade my husband and he has a new jacket.
03:31He'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.
03:37My dad used to ask for one instead of a birthday cake in June.
03:44So, you've been working every day, every second.
03:47When will this place be running smoothly enough for you to take time off and see your family?
03:50Hey.
03:51Menswear.
03:52What should be next?
03:53Perfect way to expand the customer base.
03:55Have a look at yours.
03:58Yes.
03:59But if you're going to undress me, perhaps without an audience.
04:04Sorry.
04:07Tweed.
04:08I'm going to need lots of tweed.
04:09Can you...
04:12I'm good at being in charge.
04:21I'm going to need whatever you've got in tweed, worsted 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 Jewsbury Mill.
04:32Someone will make a fart to you.
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.
04:39Not to be too risky for me, I'd have to take out a whacking lawn.
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.
04:50You'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 shot.
04:59Mrs Hart is free to sell whatever she wants.
05:02Oh, 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.
05:14Mrs Minton, if you want to keep leasing my premises, I suggest you apologise to Mrs Hart immediately.
05:18And spend less time worrying about what she's selling, and more about what you're selling,
05:22which as of late, I suspect is not very much.
05:28Sorry.
05:31Invisible husband, invisible baby.
05:34Thanks for asking, Mrs Minton, but my daughter's been very well looked after, as a matter of fact.
05:37She wants her to nothing.
05:39Emma?
05:43What does she know, eh?
05:44She thinks we're carrying on.
05:47She could 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 with one of your treacle tarts.
06:01Some fisheye darts at the front here would make for a better silhouette, don't you think?
06:05It would pull in the waist without...
06:07Just open the pool.
06:07Yes.
06:10You're right.
06:11Clean the lines.
06:16Can I take your measurements?
06:18The samples?
06:22Shall I?
06:23Yes.
06:24Thanks.
06:45Most people...
06:47could wait more than a few months after opening a ladies' wear shop to expand.
06:52I think it's too soon.
06:54No.
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.
07:21I can't.
07:21I'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.
07:41I'm sorry.
07:42I'm sorry.
07:57I'm sorry.
08:13Emma Hart, isn't it?
08:17Yes.
08:18How can I help you, Mrs...
08:20Miss...
08:21Chandra?
08:23At 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.
08:48It just needs yard 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, which is rather
09:02unfortunate 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 and what my mother wore to her wedding.
09:25It was a beautiful red sari.
09:27Gold 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...
09:47I know.
09:48It's the worst thing.
09:51Yes.
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.
11:53I 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 you built all this while he's been stood still, right, where you left
12:32him?
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.
12:55The rage against Edwin.
12:56It's what's dragging me out of bed every single morning.
12:59It's what's keeping Edwina fed and safe.
13:00If I let that go, am I just going to get distracted again?
13:03Am I going to let my mum 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 that 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've probably noticed how we are around each other.
13:34I never expected it.
13:36Tried to tell myself it wasn't happening, but...
13:39He makes me feel...
13:41I don't know.
13:43Excited.
13:45Fluttery.
13:46Hopeful.
13:48Is that bad?
13:51Never.
13:54What, um...
13:56What do you want me to say to him?
14:22I know I should feel guilty.
14:24But these past months, with Adele away, have 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...
14:45Of course.
14:46Wouldn't want to bring about any...
14:48bad look.
15:04What have you got there?
15:06It...
15:07It's, um...
15:08Oh, sorry.
15:09Is that the...
15:11Wedding dress.
15:12Yes.
15:13I had it altered.
15:14A little.
15:16At this...
15:16New 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.
16:05Why didn't you tell me sooner that he'd died?
16:10It was a while ago.
16:14I think I was scared...
16:15scared...
16:17of us.
16:22Not...
16:23worried about me being...
16:26forward.
16:30Worried I might...
16:37I was just going to have to check you're all right.
16:42Well, Mac says you're up to lose her husband.
16:46I feel awful.
16:47The things I said about him.
16:48You're right.
16:50Truth is, I...
16:51lost him a long time ago.
16:54Even before he died.
16:58You make me feel...
17:13I think he's running away all the things I said...
17:14I thought I loved him.
17:14There's...
17:18I'm the man that concerns you're living, writing.
17:18Oh, him!
17:21So many of you, honey.
17:23We won't anyway.
17:24You're so annoying.
17:25I'm...
17:25You're soええ...
17:29I didn't want to know that my health hurts.
17:36Oh, my God.
17:43Oh, my God.
18:09The hint of that sort of talk when Sir Wickham arrives will focus on the wedding.
18:13If you sense the conversation is turning to anything more serious, deflect.
18:17I think we're all pretty good at that.
18:18Now, Olivia, at the luncheon.
18:20I'm going to need you to...
18:21Did somebody say luncheon?
18:22I love luncheon.
18:24I...
18:25Adele, we weren't expecting you.
18:27Mother, you look.
18:28I know, darling.
18:28Come here.
18:32Sherry, mother.
18:33Shut up, Gerald.
18:34No, thank you, darling.
18:36Yes.
18:37Wise.
18:37We've had to switch to the cheap stuff in those two long months you've been on holiday.
18:44Still, it's here when you need it.
18:48Tea.
18:48We've got tea.
18:49I 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.
19:22I may have got ahead of myself earlier.
19:26I had a plan, you see.
19:28Not much like that.
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 know I'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.
19:48See 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 to see 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.
20:21Oh, God.
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.
21:22Not for a long time.
21:25Not ever, perhaps.
21:33Do you remember when I was first learning to ride,
21:36being rather pathetic about it?
21:41And that night,
21:44my father made me sleep there in the stables.
21:48I was so against it.
21:50You came and I begged you to take me back to the house.
21:57You said no.
21:59But I had to face it.
22:00That it was the only way.
22:02I'm so sorry, darling.
22:03No, you were right.
22:07And you stayed with me right through till morning.
22:13And by then I wasn't scared anymore.
22:21You were,
22:22you were a wonderful mother
22:25until 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, Pug.
22:48Everyone says so.
22:51Things are so bad with the business.
22:52I thought that if I could
22:54make a bit of extra cash,
22:55then father would...
22:58I got reckless.
23:00And 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.
23:13I promise.
23:15I don't know.
23:50I don't know.
24:27I don't know.
24:28I'm making a right picture of it.
24:31I'm not hungry anyway.
24:35Frank!
24:43Where were you?
24:45Armley.
24:46In Leeds.
24:49Why didn't you send you an address?
24:51I didn't know where you were.
24:52I couldn't even write.
24:53I've been working all hours of the day and trying to get myself settled.
24:58What am I 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.
25:28I'll help you clean this up and we can talk.
25:31You're expecting Dad home for lunch, are you?
25:33They won't want to eat off the floor, will he?
25:42Why is this Winter Coe here?
25:44Is he home?
25:51Dad?
25:54Dad!
26:00Dad?
26:03I couldn't get rid of them. I couldn't get rid of any of it.
26:13I would have known. I would have felt it. I know I would. I would have. When? What happened?
26:29Sophia. At the mill. Here at three months ago. You had to be the hero, of course. Running into Sheffield.
26:47I wasn't here. I wasn't here. You are now. I'm sorry.
26:58Oh, Frank. I'm so sorry.
27:03And, of course, we'll show you the church tomorrow. It's spectacular. Oh, yes.
27:07Fairlies have been marrying there for centuries. To family.
27:14To family. Family. Family.
27:21I will look at them. Did you ever see a more handsome couple?
27:25Oh, well. Adam and I tanned 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. But Edwin is more respectful.
27:37Pria, Edwin tells me that. I suppose it's different, isn't it? With a marriage of convenience.
27:42A tell? Convenience? In that it's conveniently good for business.
27:46My mother has an unusual sense of humor. Well, it is good for business, isn't it? More so for ours
27:53than yours, I suspect, Sir Vikram.
27:58Pria, 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.
28:16I do. What? I'm sure Pria knows, don't you, darling? She's been sleeping under the same roof. And if she
28:25doesn't, she ought to know what she's married 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.
29:01I'm so sorry. Don't do that, Livy. Don't apologize as though it was just an accident. Some mistake. You wanted
29:09my husband and you took him.
29:12I've loved him for a very long time.
29:18Longer than you've loved me.
29:32Same old Aunt Lily, then?
29:35Remember 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.
29:48Could have had to come and look after you.
29:50But you needn't any more.
29:52You can come to Armley and help me in the shop.
29:54I can't. I'll be starting boarding school soon.
29:57What?
29:58Yeah. The families are paying for it. They've been of us the kind.
30:01Why would they be doing that?
30:02I suppose they threw there with a debt.
30:04Given our Dad's safe master of his wife.
30:08Edmund.
30:10Yeah?
30:11That's who we run back in for.
30:17Emma?
30:20Emma!
30:20Emma!
30:23Oh!
30:28Oh!
30:30Oh!
30:34Damn!
30:42Oh!
31:04What the hell were you playing at?
31:07Do you have any idea how important that marriage is?
31:11You're going to lecture me on the importance of marriage.
31:14Adele, the business is in an incredibly precarious position.
31:18Our finances are...
31:20Oh, for God's sake, don't bore me with the details, darling.
31:22I shall read about them in the divorce papers.
31:25We can't divorce.
31:27Let's see. Adultery, yes, we can be certain of that.
31:31And for additional grounds, I believe I shall go for cruelty.
31:37Cruelty?
31:39You are the queen of cruelty.
31:42I mean, do you really blame me, Adele?
31:44We're seeking solace elsewhere.
31:45Elsewhere? Perhaps not.
31:47But my sister.
31:52Why?
31:55Why did it have to be her, Adam?
31:57Because she is the only one who understood what it was like to watch you disappear.
32:05You caged me too when you locked yourself in this damn room.
32:08In sickness and in health, Adam. That was the vow. Remember?
32:12I spent years blaming myself, but you abandoned me.
32:16The second you saw that I was sinking, you let go of my hand.
32:19That is not true. I tried. You drowned yourself, Adele.
32:24All I ever wanted to do was to please you.
32:26To stay on that pedestal where you put me.
32:29A perfect, proper little wife.
32:33To sit by your side at church every Sunday.
32:36And then to submit to your darkest desires every night.
32:41I have never done a thing to you that you didn't yearn for.
32:48That's absolutely true.
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 here?
33:40You always were unfit, Adele, to be a wife and a mother.
33:46Olivia, though, she's wonderful at both.
33:49Born for it.
33:51Just like you were born.
33:53A dirty, rotten little.
33:58Oh.
34:26Yeah.
34:28Uh.
34:29Uh.
34:31Uh...
34:31Uh.
34:32Uh.
34:33Uh.
34:41Uh.
34:42Uh.
36:15I'm coming, I'm here.
36:25How was your trip home?
36:26I want the grocers.
36:29I've only had hearts a few months.
36:31What do you know about selling groceries?
36:32It's too soon, Emma.
36:34It's too much to manage.
36:36Too risky.
36:36What could be more risky than the loss you're already making?
36:39I'm ready for it.
36:40Put me in there.
36:41Not only will I pay you a month up front, I'll increase the rent 5% every month and I'll
36:44still be making a profit.
36:48Ten percent.
36:49Eight.
36:51Done.
36:54I've never met a woman like you.
36:57I'm not sure there's ever been one.
36:59On that, I do have one more proposition for you.
37:17Help.
37:18Help, I need help here!
37:36What did you say to her?
38:05What is it?
38:08What's happened?
38:11Joe Lowther and I are getting married.
38:17What?
38:18I'm sorry, David.
38:20Look, you're not serious.
38:22Joe.
38:27Does he know you're marrying him for his shop?
38:28That's not the only reason.
38:29Oh, I do apologise.
38:31I was forgetting.
38:31He owns a rather nice house as well.
38:34Emma.
38:37I really think there's something here.
38:39Something between us that could be remarkable.
38:42If we can just let it...
38:43I've got to do this.
38:46I really am truly sorry.
39:02I'm sorry, but you're quite early.
39:04That's all right.
39:05I can wait.
39:06If you and your husband...
39:08He's not my husband yet.
39:09You do know I'm here about the loan?
39:11I do.
39:12I made the appointment.
39:13You realise an unmarried woman cannot take out a loan of any kind?
39:16I realise.
39:17And in less than an hour, that won't be a problem.
39:19I don't make a habit of wearing wedding gowns on days I'm not getting wed.
39:28Excuse us.
39:34I know it's only a quick ceremony, but I thought you might wear something a bit smarter.
39:39I can't do it.
39:40I can't walk you down the aisle to a man you don't love.
39:44What about David?
39:45I'm not in love with David either.
39:47But there are feelings there, at least.
39:49And feelings aren't...
39:51I'm not looking.
39:52I just noticed you haven't closed up, so I'm just checking that you are still...
39:56Yes.
39:56Are you the groom, sir?
39:57Yes.
39:59Sorry, who's that?
40:00Mr. Ivins, solicitor.
40:02And I 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, we'd sell off to pay
40:18it.
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, there 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 between Jim Fairley and your future at this company.
42:31You don't even know him.
42:33Only his surname.
42:34Do you think it's a coincidence his interest in you?
42:37My grandchild, my 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.
42:44The 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?
43:25Jerry.
43:27Mrs. Hart?
43:28Would you call an ambulance, please?
43:30Mrs. Hart?
43:32I think now we're having a heart attack.
43:35Oh, my God.
43:37Mrs. Hart?
43:39Mrs. Hart?
43:40Mrs. Hart?
43:40Mrs. Hart?
