Short filmTranscript
00:19I'm going to ask Jerry to arrange a lunch with your aunt.
00:24Are you sure, Grandy?
00:26You know you're the only one of the family I trust, don't you, darling?
00:30You know, the family are all desperate to arrange a surprise party for your birthday.
00:35Oh, God, preserve me.
00:37I know you hate surprises.
00:38Well, they're just always so much nicer to give than to receive.
00:43Will you let me take that away? Stop me listening to it?
00:45No, thank you. It's good for me to get to grips with modern technology.
00:50OK.
01:03Mr. Fairley, most mothers spend a lifetime loving their family, but our mother has spent a lifetime hating yours.
01:11Who do you think you are?
01:13I think I'm no one, sir.
01:15No!
01:17Apparently, every one of them wronged her, whatever that means.
01:26They're sacking me, aren't they? Because of last night, the dress, I'm dismissed.
01:29No, no, Father knows it was one of Mother's games. I made sure of that.
01:34But you're sending me to London.
01:37When?
01:38When?
01:38Right now. There's a carriage waiting for me. I couldn't leave without saying goodbye.
01:41They're waiting.
01:42Goodbye? How long have you been gone for?
01:45A month. I couldn't bear it either, the thought of being away from you.
01:49When? What does he want you to do?
01:51He's got it in his head that I can somehow improve the relations of the chargess.
01:55Relations?
01:57With the daughter? I knew this would happen. I knew it. They want you to be with her.
02:01They're what they want. I want you.
02:06I have to go before someone comes looking for me.
02:10But I've marked the date, so you can count down the days.
02:14Just know I'll be eating every second with them.
02:16Until I come home to you.
02:18Edward!
02:21I love you.
02:23I love you too.
02:25Edward!
02:31I love you too.
03:28It's better to go.
03:29Sounds bad again.
03:37I had to.
03:38No one's listening to me.
03:40Oh, God.
03:41What have you done now?
03:43Where are you hurt?
03:43Just a cut on her hand.
03:45Are you sure she's bleeding?
03:46I'm sure.
03:47Looks worse than it is.
03:48I think I'm dying.
03:50No, you're not.
03:51You're not.
03:52My hair.
03:52It's perfectly normal, darling.
03:54You're just working yourself up.
03:55Get Adam.
03:56I need Adam.
03:57I'm not sure where he is.
03:58You're keeping him from me, aren't you?
04:01Don't make him from stealing me.
04:04Calm.
04:05He wasn't bad at me.
04:08Emma.
04:09He wasn't.
04:12Come on.
04:14Come on.
04:15Into bed.
04:19Clean you up once you've had a rest.
04:20Will you tell Squire Fairley?
04:23Tell him he has to come.
04:25He's my husband.
04:27Oh.
04:29Oh.
04:29Is she all right?
04:31No.
04:32She's quite the opposite of all right.
04:35And that's down to us.
04:37She was on well long before there was any sort of us.
04:40Not like this.
04:41You'd know if you'd been to see her these last few weeks.
04:43I don't think you'd want me to.
04:45We must take care of her.
04:46Now more than ever.
04:48She's barely eaten or drunk anything in days.
04:51Not even a sherry.
04:53She's so desperate for you to visit.
04:57I know you're feeling as guilty as I am.
05:02Although you and I haven't.
05:04I mean, not since.
05:08And yet we're laying together every night.
05:10We've shown great restraint.
05:15A cup of tea.
05:17A chat with her.
05:18That's all.
05:20It's just seeing her like that.
05:22When she's that bad.
05:23I can't stand.
05:32Right.
05:34See you at breakfast.
05:41Squire Fairley was just.
05:45I've not seen Squire Fairley this morning, Miss Wainwright.
05:48I expect he's still in bed.
05:56I love my sister.
06:01Of course.
06:02And you're very good to her, Miss Wainwright.
06:05It's not easy loving someone so unwell.
06:07It's been very hard on Squire Fairley too.
06:11But since you came to help, he seems much lighter.
06:15Do you think so?
06:17They say he'd be lost without you.
06:19We all would.
06:23I hope you're as trustworthy as you seem, Emma.
06:26I am, Miss Wainwright.
06:28You have my word.
06:34I have been meaning to speak to you, though, Miss Wainwright.
06:37Seeing as it's you who runs the house now, isn't it?
06:39You who makes the decisions.
06:41Well, is there a problem?
06:43I'm after solving it.
06:44The way Murgatroyd has us doing all the chores, there's a more better way to do it.
06:47To get it done faster.
06:49More efficient, do you mean?
06:51Efficient.
06:51Yes, Miss.
06:52Exactly.
06:52Efficient.
06:53If we were to divvy the chores up different, change the order, I wrote it all down.
06:57I would think it can work.
06:59But Murgatroyd won't even read it.
07:01He's stuck in his ways.
07:03Thinks he knows better because he's a man.
07:07But it's not up to him, though, is it?
07:09I can see you're in charge these days.
07:13Where do you have it with you, this timetable of yours?
07:24You've put a lot of thought into this.
07:30It's impressive.
07:33Truly.
07:35It's really very impressive indeed.
07:39I'll make sure it's implemented from today.
07:45Oh, and could you make sure there's some champagne on ice?
07:49Yes, Miss Wainwright.
07:50Are you expecting to be celebrating something?
07:52We're hoping to hear from Edwin today.
07:54It's been three months.
07:55Surely he's finally got round to proposing.
07:58So, there may be a wedding on the cards.
08:02I love weddings.
08:04Don't you?
08:05I've never been to one, Miss.
08:19Emma Hart.
08:21That's me, Dawn.
08:22All chimneys pointed in the right direction.
08:24What?
08:25You're leaving today?
08:26Tomorrow.
08:27First thing.
08:28I'm a wanderer.
08:30Shut up and crying, have you?
08:33No.
08:33She's got a bit of soap in my eye, that's all.
08:36Oh, well, I'd say that'll be my fault.
08:37Let's have a look.
08:38It's fine now.
08:45Um, I can't see anything.
08:48Not even an eyeball?
08:49It's worse than I thought.
08:52You're going to be all right.
08:55Sorry, Emma.
08:57Well, I was.
08:58But you told me you're abandoning me in this godforsaken place.
09:04I...
09:05I...
09:06Come.
09:08What?
09:09Come with me.
09:10Why not?
09:11I have a job on a big house down south.
09:14It'll be work for you too, I'm sure of it.
09:17Train leaves at six.
09:19I can't afford a train.
09:20Ah, well, I could just about cover a ticket for you too.
09:24No, I couldn't ask you to.
09:25Sure, you can pay me back when you earn your big fortune.
09:28What's keeping you here?
09:30What are you waiting for?
09:32What about...
09:33Oh, your plan with a capital P.
09:36Emma, isn't this exactly what that was?
09:38Isn't this what your mother wanted you to do?
09:41This place is a dead end, my born name.
09:43The kind you get stuck in.
09:45And I cannot bear the thought of what happened to you, not you.
09:49I cannot.
09:51Tomorrow?
09:52Tomorrow?
09:52I don't know if I can leave tomorrow.
09:54No matter how hard you work, or how talented you are,
09:58those people in my house
09:59are never going to see you as anything more than a maid.
10:02And me, a pair of hands.
10:05But somewhere else,
10:06a city where no one knows us,
10:09or we can be anything we want.
10:11Take the leap, Emma.
10:13I promise you, you won't regret it.
10:29Edwin, I've waited so long for you to come home.
10:32But I won't stay and watch you walk through the door engaged to someone else.
10:36I let myself get distracted by a dream that we're never going to come true.
10:42But I can still make something of myself.
10:45That were always the plan.
10:47And that's why I'm leaving.
10:50Even though it breaks my heart to know
10:53I'll never
10:56see you again.
11:13Are you real?
11:16Good question.
11:26Do you feel that?
11:32Are you engaged?
11:35Do you?
11:38I'm the other.
11:39Do you?
11:40I missed yourself.
11:42I missed yourself.
11:43I missed yourself.
11:48What were you writing?
11:52I have to go.
11:55Meet me in the Rose Garden as soon as you can.
11:58I'll wait.
12:10Oh.
12:14Oh, now you can't when I'm in this state.
12:17Turn away.
12:18Go on.
12:18I don't want your eyes on me.
12:26What are you...
12:28What are you doing?
12:29Is it true?
12:32You haven't had a dream for days?
12:39Why?
12:47Because of the way you looked at me at the party.
12:51And the way you're looking at me now.
12:55It's the way you used to look at me.
12:59And I want you to do it every day.
13:27Oh, there you are.
13:28Did you...
13:29Was she...
13:30How is she?
13:33Sober.
13:35For how long this time, do you think?
13:38She's never even lasted this long before.
13:41I don't know.
13:41I suppose we should take each day as it comes, but...
13:46It was the right thing to do.
13:48Going to see her, I feel much better.
14:03What's that?
14:04Ah, yes.
14:05It's from Joe Lowther.
14:07I suspect you won't enjoy reading it.
14:12As a result of said reduction in quality, I've taken the decision to stop stalking your fabric,
14:19as it no longer meets the standards my customers expect.
14:23Where is Gerald?
14:25That's the third retail owner's many weeks.
14:28Ink's not even trying to channel a contract.
14:29I swear, if they find out.
14:31Is Edwin home yet?
14:32Yes, with no news, but I still think the connection between Edwin and Priya might buy us some grace.
14:43Emma, I've thought it through.
14:45I've thought of nothing else.
14:46We can do this.
14:47Not yet, maybe, but once I've got a degree, I'll get a decent, probably terribly boring job.
14:54Not one that can buy us a manor, of course, but enough for a cottage.
14:58But they do want you to propose to her, Priya Chandra.
15:00I don't care.
15:01They'll never let you choose me.
15:02They disown you.
15:03Let them.
15:04Who cares?
15:05Be serious.
15:06I am, Emma.
15:08What about their money?
15:09Money doesn't matter to me.
15:10You said like someone with not the first clue our life is without it.
15:12You're right.
15:14I need Father to keep on paying till I've graduated.
15:16But then I'll be free.
15:17You really trade your big fancy hours for a cottage the size of your bedroom?
15:20I'd live in a shoebox if you were there, too.
15:25You'd never fit in that.
15:27It'd have to be a hatbox, at least.
15:32I wouldn't have to rely on just you.
15:35If we were going to do that, I'd be doing my sewing so we'd have money from that, too.
15:40I might even open a shop one day.
15:44See?
15:46Yes.
15:47It's my boring job when you're not boring shop.
15:50You can't do this.
15:52With or without my family's blessing.
15:56You really pick me over them.
15:58I pick you over anyone.
16:01Stay with me.
16:03Stay right.
16:04Here.
16:06Always.
16:09So give them all of us.
16:22I'm not going anywhere.
16:23I'm not going anywhere.
16:28Let's go.
16:38Let's go.
16:40I guess.
16:42All right.
16:47Oh, my God.
17:28See, this is what I was trying to avoid.
17:34I've never been very good at goodbyes.
17:39Sorry.
17:41I can't leave my dad and Frank. Not yet.
17:44And I think there might be opportunities for me here.
17:48Miss Wainwright knows I've got good ideas and she's even listening to some of them.
17:52I think maybe there is a future for me here.
17:57After all.
18:03You can always come and find me, you know, if anything changes, for any reason, anything at all.
18:12Just ask for me at the Lucky Duck in Armory.
18:15Leave a message.
18:17Should I move about with work and girls, parties?
18:25She's...
18:27Someone in there generally knows where I am.
18:34I won't laugh, miss you.
18:45Stay hungry, Emma.
18:47Remember what your mom told you.
18:49Don't let anything or anyone distract you from that plan of yours.
19:24You've got things done now.
19:25Much more efficient.
19:27I'd like you to incommend it immediately.
19:28Tomorrow morning, if possible.
19:31Yes, ma'am.
19:31Of course.
19:32I was disappointed to hear you've dismissed it.
19:34I can.
19:57Come through.
20:01Here.
20:03Come through.
20:04What?
20:05Could you cover yourself up a moment, please?
20:07Are you talking to me or the door?
20:10Have you been drinking?
20:11Don't be silly, Adam.
20:11Doors don't drink.
20:12I mean you.
20:14How am I supposed to know that if you won't look at me?
20:21Have you?
20:23Not a drop.
20:28Please, put the rope back on.
20:40I feel well.
20:42The best I've felt in years.
20:45Like I've been trapped in this impenetrable fog.
20:50And now it's lifted.
20:55What?
20:57I can see what it was hiding now.
21:00All the damage I've caused.
21:06It's all over me.
21:08I keep trying to wash it off.
21:17It was a gasp.
21:18It's all over me.
21:18But it was a lot of abuse.
21:25You're right, man.
21:26I won't go.
21:26I won't be.
21:28I won't go.
21:29I won't go.
21:29I won't go.
21:30I won't go.
21:31I won't go.
21:32No, I won't go.
21:34I won't go.
21:34No, I won't go.
21:38It's all over me.
21:40I won't go.
21:57Oh, my God.
22:26Oh, my God.
22:40Oh, my God.
23:10Emma, perhaps you ought to see if Adam is tending to Mrs Fairley. Perhaps he's forgotten the time.
23:18Sorry, Emma. These uniforms you made, did you use the offcuts from the mill?
23:22I thought you said that would be all right, Miss Wainwright.
23:24No, no, no, it's fine. So just come here a second, would you?
23:33Looks like an excellent job was done there.
23:37I think I quite agree.
23:39Sorry to keep you all waiting.
23:41Oh, here, look at this. Look at this. This is our fabric, you know?
23:46So it may not be good enough for fine dresses, but it makes for a very serviceable uniform, isn't it?
23:51Almost smart.
23:53Partly Emma's design, I think.
23:55But it goes to show what can be done.
23:57What are you thinking?
24:01I think we send one of these up to Joe Lowther, convince him of the fabric's potential.
24:04Most of his customers have staff who need uniforms, and nobody wants to pay top whack for those, do they?
24:12Brilliant. It was always.
24:15You might thank Olivia, Gerald. She may have just saved your job.
24:24Thank you, Aunt Olivia.
24:28Emma, do you think you could make a sample of one of these by tomorrow morning?
24:31Yes, Miss. For the usual price?
24:33Yes.
24:42Whatever comes, whether hardship, hunger or sorrow, it cannot alter one thing.
25:02If I'm a princess in rags and tatties, I can be a princess inside.
25:12This is for girls.
25:13It's for anyone who wants to practice their reading.
25:16If you don't like it, I'll put it back tomorrow.
25:18No. No.
25:22Shut up.
25:23You won't go calling me Princess Frank or nothing.
25:30No point in licking another one.
25:32Borrowing.
25:35If you get caught, you'll get the sack.
25:39So, just for you, I'll stick with this boring girls book.
25:45I'll suck it right as good as this.
25:48You will.
25:49Just got to keep working like you are.
25:51I'm going to be proud.
25:54You and I.
25:59How much have you saved now?
26:03Almost 36 shillings.
26:04Alright.
26:12Emma?
26:14Dad!
26:14Dad!
26:15I'm alright, I'm alright.
26:16I'm just tired.
26:18What's wrong?
26:19Emma's...
26:23Emma's asking if I can still play it to help her.
26:27I am not.
26:28She says I'm better than her.
26:30Better looking too, so she can't face around me.
26:34You're so now, can you?
26:37Yeah.
26:38I just like to do a...
26:40button.
26:41Do what with it?
26:41Stick it up your nose again.
26:43I've never done that.
26:45What do you do when you're about to?
26:47Mum had to close up the other nostril and blow in your mouth till it popped out all covered
26:50in snot.
26:51No, she didn't.
26:54Alright, come on, button.
26:56Bed.
26:56Let's go.
26:58Well, you two.
26:59You look exhausted.
27:00I'm nearly done.
27:00I promise.
27:03I can't say I know I'm about dresses.
27:06I do know I'd work when I see you.
27:09Weren't that from you?
27:14You're in great, are you, kid?
27:16Proud of you.
27:20Don't stay up too long.
27:22I won't.
27:36We ought to get ready to go, I think.
27:38Emma should be bringing us the uniforms and then we could set off.
27:41Hmm.
27:42Hmm.
27:43I was thinking.
27:46Probably best for me to be at the mill, given the growing unrest.
27:50Oh, right.
27:52Yeah, well, I suppose we could go tomorrow.
27:54No, no, no, no.
27:55I think you should go without me.
27:56It was your brilliant plan anyway.
27:58No doubt Lowther will find you much more charming.
28:02We do need those orders, Olivia.
28:04I've been looking forward to a day out together.
28:06But, yeah, no, I suppose...
28:07Me too.
28:11But there'll be other days.
28:13Hmm.
28:24The uniform for you, Miss Wayne, right?
28:28Thank you, Emma.
28:32Was there something else?
28:35Yes, Miss.
28:36I was wondering, might I come with you?
28:38To Mr Lowther's shop?
28:39I wouldn't be any trouble.
28:40I just want to watch and listen.
28:41To learn.
28:42No, well, I won't be back until bedtime.
28:44I mean, we've only just implemented your rota.
28:46You want to take the day off?
28:47I'd still get everything done.
28:48I'd stay up all night if I have to.
28:52Give my word on that.
28:53You know I always stick to my word.
28:57I'm struggling to understand why you think this is appropriate.
29:02I'm sorry, it's just...
29:03It is my uniform, what you're using.
29:06It's which I paid for, didn't I?
29:08Yes, but the design is mine.
29:10If I pay for something, that means it belongs to me.
29:12You'd do well to remember that, Emma.
29:16Yes, Miss Wayne, right.
29:17Sorry for speaking out of turn.
29:19I...
29:47I...阮
29:57Are you sure you're ready?
30:40Are you sure you're ready?
30:48Are you sure you're ready?
31:18Do I get to have you all to myself, finally?
31:22Adele's been getting all of your attention recently.
31:25I thought that's what you wanted from me to keep her happy.
31:28It is.
31:29It is.
31:30It is.
31:32But we did say that we would allow ourselves a little happiness, too.
31:39All right.
31:41What is it?
31:44Is it her?
31:46No.
31:47It's me.
31:51I can get carried away.
31:53And that's not who you are.
31:55You're pure.
31:57You're good.
32:00I don't want to corrupt you with my arm.
32:03I respect you too much.
32:06What if I told you right now?
32:12I don't want you to respect me.
32:15I mean it.
32:17Do what you want to me.
32:19Do it.
32:23It am.
32:29What if I told you?
32:30I don't want to buff your head.
32:48I can't stop thinking.
32:59All this business with retailers, they're dropping like flies.
33:03I think it's causing me more stress than I realized, despite your louder success.
33:09Maybe I'll sleep in my own room.
33:16Good night, my love.
33:18Good night.
33:19Good night.
33:21Good night.
33:34Good night.
33:45I'm sorry.
33:46I was worried with you not drinking the nights.
33:52Sometimes they can be the worst for thoughts and...
33:58Would it help if I was here?
34:00Maybe...
34:30Maybe...
35:00.
35:00.
35:00.
35:01.
35:29Desmond
35:37Emma, thank God, I need you to help me.
35:43Oh, but I didn't ask for that.
35:52Wait.
36:05I've always been an unreliable person.
36:59I've always been an unreliable person.
37:11I've always been an unreliable person.
37:37I've always been an unreliable person.
37:38You alright?
37:41I'm gonna have a baby.
37:47Are you sure?
38:16I'm gonna have a baby.
38:37I've always been an unreliable person.
38:46No, I just meant it.
38:47That's what you want, is it?
38:48For it to just disappear?
38:48I don't know what else to say, Emma.
38:51This is a catastrophe.
38:52You could say marry me.
38:53You could say let's go.
38:55Now.
38:59A cottage.
39:01A future.
39:02A future.
39:02We already planned it, didn't we?
39:03You stood right here.
39:04Only yesterday.
39:05Promising me a lifetime.
39:06What does it matter if it starts today?
39:08What does it matter if it starts today?
39:23I do.
39:23Even though me, Edwin's telling me to go.
39:25Even though going with my plan.
39:28I got distracted.
39:32Promise me, Mum, I wouldn't.
39:34I do love you, Emma.
39:36We're too young.
39:38Young?
39:38Young?
39:39Is that the reason you're giving yourself?
39:41If you're gonna be a coward about it, at least find the decency to be honest about.
39:45Why, Master Edwin?
39:50I'll have to leave.
39:51I wouldn't be able to stand the shame.
39:55When will you go?
39:56None of your business.
39:58Soon.
40:00And I need money.
40:03I've only got five pounds.
40:05Then I suppose that'll have to do.
40:08And I need a suitcase.
40:10Yes.
40:12I'll leave one for you with the money in sight.
40:15Thank you, sir.
40:16You're very kind.
40:17Please, try to understand.
40:18Oh, I do.
40:19I understand exactly.
40:20Never thought I'd fall for it.
40:22Never will again.
40:23Emma.
40:23I won't be returning the suitcase since I won't be seeing you, Edwin Fairley.
40:26Never.
40:27Never again.
40:28Not for as long as I live.
40:36Oh, I do.
40:41Oh, I wants it.
40:45No.
40:49Oh, my God.
41:28Oh, my God.
41:50Oh, my God.
41:52Oh, my God.
42:15Oh, my God.
