00:07Welcome back, Mrs. Hart.
00:09Oh, have I been away?
00:11Charming scarf.
00:12Oh, thank you.
00:14Spring, summer, yes.
00:15And just perfect with those boots.
00:17Now, my Cytex presentation at 11, yes?
00:20Oh, Paula's taking that on.
00:23Her last one was a triumph.
00:25We sent her cookies.
00:43Grandy, no need for big speeches, thank you.
00:46You know, I have apologized a million times.
00:48And there's no one in the whole world I admire more than you.
00:52Oh, you are doing this speech, are you?
00:54Are you hoping I'll send you biscuits?
00:56Grandy, you have to listen to me.
01:00They know.
01:01They all know you've been ill.
01:04Some source at the hospital.
01:06They're gathering the board in London next Monday.
01:09They've told everyone that you've been ill, and I'm afraid.
01:15They've got the votes.
01:17They're going to oust you.
01:19Hart Enterprises, Cytex, it's all to be taken from you and put in their names.
01:25Edwina.
01:26Yes, along with Uncle Kit, Uncle Robin and Aunt Elizabeth.
01:30I'm so sorry.
01:31What can I do?
01:38I see you've been dabbling in lycra.
01:41Oh, our new leisure wear range.
01:43You'll hate it, I'm sure, but I'm convinced it's the next big thing.
01:46Well, looks very comfortable.
01:53Zip fastening on the side would improve the lines.
01:58Leave me, would you, Paula?
02:00I'm suddenly very tired.
02:20Henry, it's Emma.
02:23I've decided I would like to go ahead.
02:27Yes, please.
02:29And we're to be certain it's absolutely watertight.
02:36My birthday?
02:38Not a thing, I imagine.
02:41What use are birthdays?
02:43Happy birthday to you.
02:48Happy birthday to you.
02:51Happy birthday, dear kid.
02:56Happy birthday to you.
03:01Right, who wants a slice?
03:03Me.
03:04Cheers, please.
03:09This is madness.
03:11Pretending everything's fine.
03:13Throwing a party when we all know war could be declared any second.
03:16We'll be waiting either way.
03:18Might as well eat cake while we're doing it.
03:22Mac, business has been slowing down for months.
03:24I've had to take out loans.
03:26What does Joe say?
03:29Emma, you haven't told him.
03:32He won't hear it.
03:32He's convinced himself war won't happen.
03:34Well, maybe he's right.
03:35He's not.
03:37I need a plan.
03:41Never let a problem that can't be solved.
03:44You had Emma horseplay?
03:48Emma.
03:49Mac.
03:50Family photograph.

04:59did you see the government's going to be accepting bids for uniform manufacturers
05:03this is it mac this is how we're going to survive it now i know what you're thinking
05:08why would they award a contract to someone who's made their name in ladies wear especially a woman
05:12but i think so you're going to start manufacturing the material before you've even won the contract
05:18to make sure i win the contract they can't say no can they yeah but the cost of it
05:24it's a risk i know it is but the only way i can make it work is if i sell
05:31the shops
05:35no no you built those with your own blood sweat and tears you can't just give them up
05:39if i don't do something drastic the debt collectors will take them anyway
05:47you don't think i can do it
05:51i think you can do anything i want

07:29you never pass up the opportunity to speak about your days at sandhurst
07:31if i thought this was in any way an honorable war i'd be commending your bravery
07:36but it isn't ours to fight
07:39asquith is leading our soldiers to catastrophe only a fool would volunteer

08:21it's what i did to her father
08:24that's the why
08:26emma hart is hell bent on destroying us
08:29it's why she took our mill
08:31she's punishing me
08:33and she won't give up until
08:34i've suffered as much as she has
08:36so this is what
08:37for a suicide mission
08:39what could you have possibly done
08:41that was so terrible
08:42you risked your life as recompense
08:47what
08:49emma and i were
08:53involved
08:54romantically
08:56i'm sorry father
08:58she fell pregnant
09:00and i panicked
09:01took no responsibility
09:04all but sent her away entirely alone
09:14and
09:18what were you supposed to do
09:20marry her

09:29general told me years ago
09:30there was a child
09:34you knew
09:37and you're not angry
09:38well it's not ideal
09:41obviously
09:43but
09:43boys will be boys
09:45needs must be met
09:46and inevitably the sort of girls
09:48who are willing
09:48are only going to be found
09:49in the servants quarters
09:50that
09:52not with emma
09:53it was
09:54what
09:56love
09:57more than love
09:58it was everything
10:00whatever silly infatuation
10:02you think you had
10:03edwin
10:03it hardly justifies
10:05traipsing off to france
10:06with a very real possibility
10:08you won't
10:09return
10:09i understand the risks
10:10it's what i have to do
10:12and i'm sorry father
10:15you won't change my mind
10:25good morning everyone
10:27now
10:27i know this is an uncertain and anxious time for us all
10:30so i'll get straight to the point
10:36from today
10:37my mills and the factory
10:38will halt production on the usual hat fabrics and designs
10:41to produce only a durable wool
10:44for military uniforms
10:45which we will eventually be making on an exclusive basis for the duration of the war
10:50unfortunately
10:52this will mean the closing and sale of my shops
10:55but please don't worry
10:56none of you will be out of work
10:58you're all needed elsewhere
10:59those of you who wish to volunteer
11:01i will continue to pay your wages to your families
11:03then when you return
11:05your jobs will be here waiting for you
11:06while you're out there
11:07fighting to protect our future
11:09we'll be doing everything we can
11:11to protect yours
11:14are there any questions
11:15yes
11:17i have a few
11:20you're selling my shops
11:21i'm selling my shops
11:22i bought them from you at full price
11:24the deeds are in my name
11:26i don't care about the deeds
11:27emma
11:28these shops belong to my father
11:29if you pull the wallpaper down in that corner
11:31you'll see where my mother marked my height every birthday
11:33those memories will still exist
11:35with or without these buildings
11:37perhaps you don't understand
11:38what a precarious position we're in
11:40who is this we
11:41you talk like we're a team
11:42but you didn't think to ask
11:43or even tell me
11:44that you're selling my father's legacy
11:46these are not normal times
11:47wouldn't your father
11:48want you to do what's needed
11:50to survive
11:50or maybe that's the problem
11:52survival isn't something
11:53you've ever had to think about before
11:55what's that supposed to mean
11:56these shops were handed to you
11:58just like everything else in your life
12:00that doesn't mean i didn't work hard
12:01can't you just trust
12:02that i have explored every option
12:04and this is the one that'll see our family
12:06through this wretched war
12:06do you have so little faith in me
12:08no that's not fair
12:10and you know it
12:10i had faith in you
12:12the second i saw you
12:13i gave you a job
12:15remember
12:15and less than a year
12:16i let you a shop
12:17and then another emma

12:20in this world
12:21who has more faith in you
12:22than i do
12:24mac had no doubts
12:26not one
12:30laura please

12:41sacrificing himself for a country
12:42that's not even here
12:43laura
12:43my husband's gonna give his life
12:44for the whim of a government
12:45who won't give women
12:46the vote
12:47and i'm supposed to just accept it
12:48you seem a bit rash
12:49mac
12:50it's early days
12:51i'm not doing this for the government
12:53or the king
12:54can't you see
12:56if we don't go over there
12:57and stop the germans
12:58they'll bring the fight to us

13:00it'll reach these shores
13:01that'll take months
13:03yes
13:03the war will be over
13:05by christmas
13:05and what if it's not
13:09i can't sit here
13:11waiting for them
13:12to come to us
13:14i have to do this
13:16to keep you safe
13:18but we don't want you to
13:20do we ever tell him
13:22he's right
13:25we have to do what we can
13:26no matter how risky
13:27it scares me
13:28of course it does
13:29i couldn't bear the thought
13:33but we can't be ruled by fear
13:35this is bigger than all of us
13:38we've got good lives
13:40that we've worked hard for
13:41people to protect
13:44if we don't fight
13:45tooth and nail
13:45in whatever way we can
13:46god knows what that'll mean
13:48for our children
13:50doing nothing
13:52isn't that the biggest risk of all
14:14we're with you in just a second
14:15feel free to browse
14:19there she is
14:22emma hart
14:25look at you
14:28how far you've come
14:37you should know that edwin
14:40told me everything
14:43he's got it into his head
14:44that he has to
14:47he's uh
14:49oh he's volunteering
14:51to fight
14:52punishing himself
14:53for what happened
14:54between the pair of you
14:56now
14:57if what edwin says is true
14:58and your feelings
14:59for each other
15:00were in fact genuine
15:01then
15:02i'm sure you
15:04don't want his life
15:05at risk any more
15:06than i do
15:08so
15:09i thought you could write him a letter
15:13saying that you
15:14forgive him
15:15absolving him
15:17maybe
15:17just maybe
15:18he'll see sense
15:23no
15:30no
15:31a word you're unfamiliar with squire
15:33i'm not as well read as you
15:35but i believe if you look it up in the dictionary
15:37it means there'll be a cold day in hell
15:39before i do any such thing
15:43emma
15:45my son could die
15:46and that has absolutely nothing to do with me
15:56oh you used to remind me so much of your mother
16:00but i can see now
16:02you're quite different
16:04what do you know about my mother
16:05oh she didn't tell you
16:08elizabeth
16:08she used to serve our family much
16:10like you did
16:12i was very fond of her
16:16you're lying
16:17we spent a wonderful summer together
16:19out on the moors
16:21in the caves
16:23on top of the world
16:26only
16:26she was able to see our
16:28time together for what it was
16:29she didn't bear a grudge
16:31and i'm asking you
16:34to do the same
16:35find it in your
16:36heart
16:37to forgive
16:38i think it's what your mother would want
16:47why didn't you help her
16:52she could have lived
16:55if we could have got a doctor to see her
16:57to give her medicine
16:59you could have paid for that
17:03i uh
17:04my father ran into a burning building
17:05to save your son
17:07he gave his life for him
17:08you wouldn't even give one penny
17:10for my mother's
17:11that's hardly fair
17:12no such thing as fair
17:13not in this world
17:15though i see why you believe in it
17:16since every coin you've ever tossed
17:17has landed heads up
17:18but that is just luck
17:19all i'm trying to do
17:20is protect my child
17:21edwin is a grown man
17:22who is choosing to put himself
17:24in the line of fire
17:25my mother never had a choice
17:27her whole life
17:27no need to get upset
17:28oh i'm not upset
17:29i am burning with rage
17:31and that will never change
17:33you
17:34your sons
17:34your wife
17:35you destroyed my family
17:36and you could be quite sure
17:38i will not rest
17:39until i've destroyed yours
18:06you could be quite sure
18:10you could be quite sure
18:10you could be quite sure
18:10you could be quite sure
18:10you could be quite sure
18:10you could be quite sure
18:33I don't know.
18:40I don't know.
19:14I don't know.
19:15I don't know.
19:17I don't know.
19:18I don't know.
19:20I don't know.
19:21I don't know.
19:22I'll be up soon.
19:23It's already morning.
19:26Been here all night.
19:29I'm sorry.
19:33I've been thinking.
19:35And we need to give ourselves the best possible chance of winning the military uniform contract.
19:41So that's why I think you should do the presentation.
19:49What?
19:50Perform it, I mean.
19:51I'll write it.
19:52We can write it together.
19:53Practice it over and over until you know it back to front.
19:56Emma.
19:56I know you're angry with me.
19:57About the shops.
19:59But this is for our family.
20:00For the children.
20:01Those lords are never going to give the contract to a woman.
20:04They want someone who looks like them.
20:06A man they can trust in.
20:07And I don't know a more trustworthy man than.
20:09I've signed up.
20:17Joe.
20:20Is this because Mac?
20:23I'm not daft, Emma.
20:26I wouldn't risk leaving our children without a father just to prove to you I'm as much of a man
20:30as he is.
20:32I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
20:36But how could I ever look them in the eye?
20:39Kit and Edwina.
20:42If I didn't do everything I could to protect them.
20:47But...
20:48I need you.
20:54Sorry, Emma.
20:56I didn't know.
21:00You never have done before.
21:22People worried the Boer War would last for years.
21:25Look how quickly that ended.
21:27Weren't there two Boer Wars?
21:30Yes.
21:30The second one lasted three years.
21:35Still.
21:36I'm sure that this time next year we'll all be back to our normal lives.
21:39And everyone will be so grateful to you for your bravery here, Edwin.
21:42Yes.
21:43I'm sure you'll be a huge asset on the battlefield.
21:45With all your experience building pens and fanning about the newsroom.
21:50I'm looking forward to the parades.
21:52When it's over.
21:53I expect there'll be some.
21:55Yeah, it's a parade.
21:56It should make all the death worth it.
22:03What?
22:04He's obviously not coming.
22:06He is.
22:08No.
22:10He isn't.
22:23Everyone's wondering where you are.
22:26I thought you'd be too busy drinking champagne, toasting the stupidest decision that everyone's ever made.
22:33Adam.
22:36It's not too late to tell him how you feel.
22:39I made that perfectly clear.
22:50I don't want you to have any regrets.
22:53They're poisonous.
22:56I wish I'd told Adele.
22:57Yes.
22:58Perhaps if you had, instead of whatever it was you said that drove her back to the drink, she'd still
23:03be here.
23:19Edwina, love, listen.
23:21Do you understand what Daddy's saying?
23:24I've got to go away for a little while.
23:26Can I come?
23:28No, love.
23:30Daddy's got an important job to do.
23:33I'll be back before you know it.
23:35For Christmas.
23:39Yeah.
23:41For Christmas.
23:49You should sleep.
23:52You'll need it.
23:58It's for the birthdays.
24:02I've got up to Edwina's 16th, which is impossible to imagine, isn't it?
24:13Will you, um...
24:17If I don't...
24:23You will.
24:27It's for Christmas.
24:27Oh, it's for Christmas.
24:45It's an egg.
24:46It's for Christmas.
24:47It's for Christmas.
24:49I wish we still have a good one again.
24:49It's for Christmas.
24:51Thanks.
24:56Would you be like a Christmas song?
24:57No, we're staying with a Christmas?
25:57Edwin?
26:00Yes?
26:02I hope you find peace.
26:07I know that's a strange thing to say, given...
26:12but it seems to me as though that's what you're looking for.
26:16That's what you've always been looking for.
26:18Well, you might be right about that, but I'm not sure I deserve it.
26:42I'm sorry.
26:45I know who you wanted this to be.
26:49I never should have pretended I was capable of giving you what you wanted.
27:11You shouldn't wait for me.
27:15Whatever happens, don't wait.
27:19You deserve that heart-soaring love you've always dreamed of.
27:26The kind you had with Emma.
27:34How?
27:35I found the letters.
27:38Go ahead.
27:41That's why I had her all to my dress.
27:45I wanted to meet her.
27:49I can see why she made you heart-soaring.
27:54I'm sorry you lost her.
27:58I'm sorry, Molly.
27:59I'm sorry.
27:59I'm sorry.
31:59See you.
32:04See you soon, Anama.
32:17We're right back.
33:22We're right back.
33:55No sense.
34:11We're right back.
34:46We're right back.
35:11We're right back.
35:22Adam.
35:23She killed my son.
35:28We're right back.
36:01He's dead.
36:13We're right back.
