00:22The Countess is here to see you, Mrs Hart.
00:25Mummy, what a dreadful week for you.
00:28I just can't bear it.
00:30I said to the florist, your absolute best bouquet, though no roses.
00:33And the girl knew immediately they must be for you.
00:35How about that?
00:36Oh, those wretched papers.
00:38I was so pleased when you suggested lunch.
00:40Are you surviving?
00:41When have you known me not to?
00:43Hello, darling.
00:44I put Patsy's for 1.30.
00:45Will that do?
00:46Janet, I swear she saw Sinatra there only last Tuesday.
00:48My favourite thing to say is that she's done it all for her family,
00:50which is ludicrous, of course,
00:52for a woman who's spent every moment of her adult life avoiding her family
00:56and making grand speeches about bloody revenge.
00:59She's pathetic.
01:01There's a downside, of course,
01:03to making certain one's children never want for anything at all.
01:07And that's being forced to watch them stroll through life,
01:11taking everything in their path for granted.
01:13Mummy, I'm so sorry.
01:14What would you like to explain first, my love?
01:17Your detailed expose to the press of my confidential medical records?
01:21Or your use, too, Mr. Fairley, of the word harridan?
01:26I can explain.
01:27Well, I'd love to hear it, darling.
01:31Truly, I'd love to understand.
01:34Because everything I've ever done has been for my family.
01:54Oh, no!
02:09Time sheets, Mr. Fowler.
02:11Thanks.
02:13It is all, well, at home.
02:21What about it?
02:22I know some of the staff at the hall were wondering if Emma might have been in touch with any
02:27news.
02:28Around now.
02:33It's been months since we took her.
02:36It's been six months.
02:39Six and a half.
02:44She sends money every month.
02:47Post-mile leads.
02:48She's got a good head on her shoulders, Mr. Fowler.
02:51She gets some weight.
02:53No address, no news.
02:55No one is to worry.
02:57Anyway, it's all congratulations are in order for your engagement.
03:04Have a later shift to keep awake.
03:13Go ahead.
03:20Go ahead.
03:22Go ahead.
03:24Go ahead.
03:25Go ahead.
03:26Go ahead.
03:27Go ahead.
03:29Go ahead.
03:31Go ahead.
03:32Go ahead.
03:37Go ahead.
03:41Go ahead.
03:43Go ahead.
03:45Go ahead.
03:47Go ahead.
03:48There's a name for Mrs Hart's condition.
03:50Tireless.
03:51The fact is, Mrs Hart, I'm also in the family way.
03:54Congratulations, Mrs Fairweather.
03:56Perhaps I could make you a skirt like mine with a drawstring waist.
03:58See? Wraps around my front like so.
04:00Come and see me and I'll get you measured up.
04:02See you soon.
04:08I've never had a shop assistant bring as much costume as you.
04:11It's all adding up.
04:12Three quarters for you, Mr Lowther.
04:16And a quarter for her.
04:18Your plan will be capital P.
04:20Capital B for baby.
04:23I'm saving.
04:24Well, you're not saving energy.
04:25I'll sit down when the baby's born.
04:27That's how it works when you're a mother, isn't it?
04:29You do nothing but rest.
04:31Well, I'm not sure that is how it works.
04:33Mrs Barlow, I was hoping you'd be in.
04:35You're going to love this.
05:00Oh, thank God.
05:09All safe and sound in there.
05:12I'm going to keep you that way.
05:19I'm going to keep you that way.
05:55I'm going to keep you that way.
06:15All right in there.
06:16Having a little play?
06:28You're not slacking up, I hope, Mrs Hart.
06:34Lunch.
06:35Don't worry, though.
06:36I've not stopped working.
06:37I can forbid.
06:45Closing for the jail already?
06:46She's never open.
06:52I think you'd be very pleased with what I've got for you today.
06:56The new silks are perfect.
06:58And to you, only three and six a yard.
07:01Shame I'm only paying you two and six, then.
07:03Three shillings.
07:04Two and nine.
07:05Oh, you're a tyrant.
07:12Are those pin marks on those fingers?
07:14Mrs. Hart, how long have you been working for Joe Lowther?
07:16Six months, is it?
07:17And every minute of that, you've worked like a dog.
07:19People love to tell me to slow down, but babies don't write ahead and make appointments.
07:23And I am running out of time.
07:25The money's not coming in quick enough.
07:28Does your husband mind you working so hard?
07:31He's working too. I've told you, the Navy can't spare him.
07:35Well, he's missing out, is all I'd say.
07:39I expect you'll miss him too, being away from home.
07:42I miss my dad and my brother.
07:45No time to miss anyone else.
07:47Anyway, I'm saving up so when the baby's born I can have two months off.
07:50Maybe even three, if I work hard in these last few weeks.
07:53It's looking like another record-breaking day.
07:57Teamwork, Mr. Lowther?
07:58Ha, I don't think so.
08:00When I watch you selling, you don't have a mind like a woman's at all.
08:05Yours is more like a man's.
08:07Is there a difference?
08:10You're living here now, are you?
08:11I've got work to do.
08:16Is this the new cloth?
08:17Looks pricey.
08:18It was supposed to be.
08:20It's to replace the Fairley stuff, Mr. Lowther.
08:22The fact is, customers can spot it.
08:24Cloth from the Fairley mill's just bad quality.
08:26Rotten, some might say.
08:31We've lost another cloth, Aldrin.
08:33More complaints about the quality.
08:36A lot of that equipment is old and tired.
08:39And we can't keep asking the men to work around the clock.
08:42Your usual grabbers who don't pay the plebs enough money.
08:44Now we're offering night-time hours, suddenly they have to be home for their tea.
08:47They're not plebs.
08:48They're people.
08:49Who have rights and feelings.
08:54Ria!
08:54You're back!
08:58Sorry.
08:59Long day.
09:00Oh, you must be tired.
09:06Edwin, Priya and I were hoping that tomorrow we might get down to the real business of the week.
09:10Wedding planning.
09:12We should talk about churches, certainly.
09:16It's summer's date.
09:17I was hoping we might decide on a date at least while I'm here.
09:21Because your father's a busy man.
09:22Silvery Grum needs to make plans.
09:27So, we must get every wedding detail fixed, mustn't we, Edwin?
09:32He's preoccupied at work.
09:34Hmm.
09:35Good old Edwin.
09:36Doing all he can to save the business.
09:38Hmm.
09:49Good old Edwin.
10:01Oh my god.
10:15Do the hell do you think you are?
10:18You should be ashamed of yourself.
10:19You don't just stroll in here when for months you can come near her.
10:22Well, sure, I'm here now when I can see she's been busy.
10:29Mr. R, you should know that your wife has been working tirelessly every minute.
10:39In the absence of anyone else bothering to...
10:40Mr. Klinski, David, this is not my husband.
10:44This is just a friend, a dear friend.
10:47Mac, you barely know who's my husband.
10:49Oh, you'd be surprised by how little.
10:53Well, I had no idea.
10:55I'll see you at closing time.
10:57After.
10:58See you soon.
11:08Adar?
11:09Brought you these.
11:12I was looking for a vase like Mother's, you know, that allowed the flowers to splay out.
11:17Do you remember? She always had such a way with flowers.
11:22Edwin rushed off early again.
11:25But work never stops at the mill.
11:27Not these days.
11:28I mean, Adam's barely home.
11:31I mean, you know, I hardly ever see him.
11:34He's barely here.
11:36Do you need more hot water, darling?
11:39Or anything, you know, anything to eat?
11:47Darling.
11:50I wonder if maybe you ought to get out.
11:55Do you think?
11:57Just get away from this place.
12:03I was wondering about Aunt Jessie's cottage by the sea.
12:07Would you like that?
12:08Remember that little beach down below and the gulls?
12:12And she'd love to have you.
12:13I know she would.
12:14And you may just find that...
12:21Adele?
12:24Adele?
12:27Adele?
12:31Adele, please.
12:40Are those lily of the valley?
12:48There's hundreds of them out there.
12:50They do that.
12:53They're invasive.
12:54If left unchecked.
12:57Lily of the valley will simply take over the whole garden.
13:01You can't get rid of them.
13:13Well, find that bars.
13:34Oh, sorry, we're...
13:36Closed.
13:37Your guard dog not with you, no?
13:39Mr. Klinski just does the deliveries.
13:41He's only being kind.
13:42Oh, kind, is he?
13:44As well as handsome.
13:50Like you were born to work here.
13:59Emma Hart,
14:01are you going to avoid looking at me for the whole rest of your life?
14:05What's going on, darling?
14:17Dad doesn't know I'm here.
14:19And he mustn't.
14:21I can't take trouble to his door.
14:25Not after, ma'am.
14:28I haven't seen him.
14:30I haven't seen him, love.
14:33How can I afford to bring up this baby by myself?
14:39Fine.
14:44How the hell have you got yourself in this all, miss?
15:00It was a lad back home.
15:03You don't know him.
15:05He let me down.
15:07Then I'll thrash the living day, lads, audible.
15:09No need.
15:11He said he'd marry me at first and run away to join the Navy.
15:18And this?
15:21So nobody thinks bad of me?
15:25Also because I like remembering.
15:27Remembering him?
15:28Remembering I won't ever again let someone make me feel the way he did.
15:33Not till the day I die.
15:36I'm remembering what drives me now.
15:38What will drive me my whole life.
15:42Revenge.
15:47Emma, how are you going to look after the baby and work?
15:52I'm making dresses.
15:54And I'm good.
15:56I am.
15:57I get such a thrill to see the money pile up.
16:00I've saved up for two months, which means that when the baby's born, I can stop a while.
16:09Did you drop something?
16:10You know I'll marry you.
16:13Emma Hart.
16:14And happily.
16:17It'd be an honour.
16:20Emma, will you marry me?
16:25You're the best man I know.
16:28Sure to marry you would be a privilege.
16:30Birdie, more like.
16:31Have you seen these shoulders?
16:33I could look after the both of you.
16:36I know.
16:38I know you would.
16:41But I've got it planned.
16:43I'm going to look after us myself.
16:46Somehow.
16:47I'm going to be a mother, Mac.
16:49A mam.
16:50I'm going to have a real baby.
16:52Most precious thing you can have.
16:54And more than anything I've ever done, I want to take care of it.
16:58Well, I could have at least an eye.
17:00Mac.
17:02You have the biggest heart I know.
17:06It's bursting.
17:07Which is why I want you to be able to give that heart to someone you love.
17:09For real.
17:11Not just a girl you feel sorry for.
17:13Ah, Emma, but...
17:14The answer's no.
17:16It's a no with the biggest thank you in the world.
17:29You might want to get under that seat with the sweeping brush.
17:34The dust is shocking.
17:45Good morning.
17:48Good morning.
18:18Let me run that
18:19next door. Let me rent it from you
18:21and open a dress shop. My own shop
18:22filled with dresses made by me. Give me one
18:24reason why not. Oh, you
18:26only want one. Well, which reason
18:28do you want? That you've no experience
18:31running a shop? That you've no experience
18:33running a business of any kind?
18:34That you're barely 19? That you're pregnant?
18:37Mr Lowther, the aunt's 12, then's
18:39the same. I can do it. Mrs Hart,
18:41that's fanciful at best. Two people are filled
18:43in that shop this year. Two inefficient people?
18:45Mrs Cleveland, her stock was shoddy
18:47and too expensive for its quality. She didn't
18:49know her customers. I do. I know
18:51what kind of clothes they're like. And I'm good.
18:53You know I am. And you said
18:55it yourself. I'm a grafter. I can sell.
18:57Which is why I can't afford to lose you
18:59from my shop. You wouldn't be losing me. We'll drive
19:01business to each other. Right now, when
19:03people come in, all they see is rolls of cloth.
19:05With my dress shop next door, you'll have a showroom for what
19:07that cloth can become.
19:08Double your profits in a month. Treble them, probably.
19:11Plus, I'll be your best customer. Every dress
19:13that I sell, I'll be buying the cloth from you.
19:15And the shop's empty, Mr Lowther.
19:16Gathering dust. I can take it
19:19off your hands today. Now. This
19:20minute. So you don't lose a moment's rent.
19:22Mrs Hart, you forget I know your circumstances.
19:25You live in my upstairs room.
19:27The deposit on that shop
19:28is sky high.
19:41I have enough in here
19:42for your deposit. And because
19:44I know you're nervous about me, which you won't be the moment you see
19:46the profits I bring in.
19:48I know you usually ask for four weeks' rent in advance,
19:51but I have enough in here for eight.
19:54It's all in here.
19:57Take it.
19:58Mrs Hart,
20:00I need to remind you
20:02you're having a baby.
20:04That's me to take care of.
20:06And it's why I'm absolutely certain
20:08that this is right.
20:28you're having a baby.
20:29You're having a baby.
20:30You're having a baby.
20:31You're having a baby.
20:33You're having a baby.
20:34You're having a baby.
20:35You're having a baby.
20:38You're having a baby.
21:15Oh, I'm sorry.
21:16No, it's fine.
21:17I was just walking home.
21:18You're allowed to walk where you like.
21:23Nice aim.
21:24You got there.
21:24I've sat through three days now of your aunt talking about bridal bouquets and of you and
21:28your father shouting at each other about looms.
21:31I had some steam to let off.
21:39Oh.
21:41Okay, let's see.
21:44Not bad, not bad.
21:45Not bad.
21:48Terrible.
21:49Dreadful.
21:52Well, they'll be wondering about dinner.
21:55Yes.
21:59You know, when you asked me to marry you, I thought we had a connection.
22:04That you were optimistic like me.
22:07You seemed starry-eyed.
22:10And I wasn't sure if we made each other's hearts sore.
22:12Not too many people talk about hearts soaring in books.
22:15You probably don't read those kind of books.
22:18Not really.
22:20But you know the concept of hearts soaring?
22:25Yes.
22:26Anyway, I just wanted to say, not everyone gets that.
22:30The hearts soaring.
22:32That's not what life is, I don't think.
22:35But recently, stars have left those eyes of yours and I know this engagement pleases your
22:41father and he's not an easy man to please, but we could just walk away.
22:52There's a lot to be said for pleasing people.
22:56And not just parents.
23:00Priya, I wouldn't have asked you.
23:04I wouldn't have considered it if I had intended.
23:10Somehow, I do my very best to please you.
23:15Well, let me know, will you?
23:18When the trying to please me starts.
23:43Mother, how are you?
23:48I suppose I wanted to see you.
23:53If you don't mind.
24:06Because everything just feels a bit...
24:09wrong somehow.
24:12Priya's a sweet girl in many ways.
24:14Where is your father?
24:18He never comes to me.
24:20Your father never comes anywhere near me.
24:22Where is he?
24:25He's not back yet.
24:27I don't know.
24:28He's been busy at the mill.
24:29But does he not know that I'm here, Edwin?
24:33And I'm not nobody.
24:37I'm not nobody.
24:42But take your hands with me.
24:51Stop it!
24:53Get out!
24:57Sorry.
24:58Sorry.
25:11I'm sorry.
25:13Okay, one, two, three, seven.
25:16Grab him!
25:41Shelves here, rails of dresses here and here, and a fitting area here.
25:46And also a range of elasticated skirts for pregnant women.
25:49And a chair for them, but also for people like you.
25:53Menfolk.
25:55And there will be a fire, the shop will always be warm.
25:57And you'll pair to heat it, will you?
25:59Yes, and it'll be worth it, because people will want to come.
26:01And every customer will be greeted by name.
26:03And Emma, in a few weeks' time, the baby.
26:09I'll manage.
26:42Oh!
26:49Fire!
27:25Oh, God.
27:38What's happened?
27:39It overheated.
27:41It's empty.
27:42No one in there.
27:45Who's in there?
27:46Who?
27:46My brother.
27:48Edwin.
27:48Edwin wants you.
27:50Let's go, Edwin!
27:54Let's go, Edwin!
27:59Oh, we can do this.
28:03Oh, we can do this.
28:05Can't we?
28:06Can't we?
28:08Of course we can.
28:11I'm here.
28:13I'm here.
28:14Oh, we can do this.
28:22Oh, we can do this.
28:23Oh, we can do this.
28:25Oh, we can do this.
28:28Oh, we can do this.
28:28Oh, we can do this.
28:28Oh, we can do this.
28:29Oh, we can do this.
28:31Oh, we can do this.
28:32Oh, we can do this.
28:33Oh, we can do this.
28:33Oh, we can do this.
28:34Oh, we can do this.
28:34Oh, we can do this.
28:34Oh, we can do this.
28:35Oh, we can do this.
28:36Oh, we can do this.
28:39Oh, we can do this.
28:47Oh, my God.
29:26Oh, my God.
29:41Oh, my God.
29:56Oh, my God.
30:28Oh, my God.
30:57Oh, my God.
31:03Oh, my God.
31:04Oh, my God.
31:14Oh, my God.
31:45Oh, my God.
31:49Oh, my God.
31:52Oh, my God.
32:08Oh, my God.
32:09Oh, my God.
32:40Oh, my God.
32:45Oh, my God.
32:46Oh, my God.
32:49Oh, my God.
32:58Oh, my God.
32:59Oh, my God.
33:01Oh, my God.
33:02Oh, my God.
33:03Oh, my God.
33:05Oh, my God.
33:08Oh, my God.
33:10Oh, my God.
33:13Oh, my God.
33:15Oh, my God.
33:16Oh, my God.
33:18Oh, my God.
33:18guest in the world. No one in my family is going to suffer, not ever again.
34:15No one in my family is going to suffer.
34:45Do you mind, darling?
34:50Stay, Olivia. Please.
35:00I will stay in this house while my son needs me. Then, the moment Edwin's well, I need to be
35:06too.
35:08I need to leave.
35:22My darling, I've not been the mother you deserve. And I'm so sorry. But I promise I will put this
35:35right.
35:37I promise you.
35:53It's all right. I'm coming. I just need help.
35:58It's all right.
36:27It's all right.
36:33I'm coming.
36:47I'm coming.
37:08You're my baby girl.
37:11Yes, you are.
37:13And Edwina, you are so loved. So loved.
37:18And I won't let anything happen to you.
37:22I'll take care of you.
37:26And you will have the best of everything.
37:30I promise you.
37:34You know, those fairies turn their back on us.
37:37Because they think they're better than us. That's what they think.
37:41And if it takes my whole life, all of my energy and everything I've got, I'm going to prove to
37:46them that they're wrong.
37:51I will keep you safe.
37:56And if I have to make sacrifices, give a few things up, then I will do.
38:01If it means you're taken care of, I'll sacrifice anything in the world, I will.
38:32And if it means you're taken care of, I will.
38:35I will.
38:39I will.
38:46My baby.
38:49I don't know.
39:17Two bottles already, this morning.
39:21So she's good at taking bottles.
39:24And I've put a letter in there for Cousin Frieda, thanking her.
39:29And I've put in some lists, songs Edwina like sung and so on.
39:33Because Frieda might not know what kind of song she likes.
39:40I'm sure about this, before me.
39:44You're certain?
39:46Sacrifices must be made.
39:49If that means we have to be apart while I get this up and running.
39:53And this is all for her.
39:55One day Edwina will thank me for this.
39:57She will.
40:00Cousin Frieda's the motherly sort.
40:03Will you tell her I'll visit next weekend?
40:05And after that, every other Sunday?
40:08And I'll send money, of course.
40:10Tell her I have to do it.
40:16Please.
40:18Will you make sure she understands that?
40:21Tell her there's no choice.
40:23Darn it.
40:24As soon as I get back on my feet, and I can look after her properly, I'll bring her back
40:29to me.
40:31Now just take her.
40:33Please, just take her.
40:39Emma.
40:41God knows you're doing all of this for this child.
40:44I don't know about him, but I just hope Irina knows.
