00:10Wait for a day, wait for a night, trust if you told, so you'd never know, it's you.
00:44How are those helicopter lessons coming along, Stephen? I might set up a few for myself.
00:51Mrs. Hart, I need two minutes of your time.
00:54One will be more than ample, Mr. Fairley.
00:57I've come with a warning.
01:00Theatrical.
01:01Mrs. Hart, I'm assuming you haven't seen the news about the crash in Hart's share prices and about the leak.
01:08A source from inside your company has intimated to the press that you're fragile, losing control.
01:17They've provided them with your confidential medical records.
01:22One of a whole line of casseroles.
01:25And with Hart's stocks already 12% down on the LSE, things are looking bleak for the world's richest woman,
01:30Emma Hart, whose retail empire is reeling today from revelations about her health status.
01:36Stephen?
01:37Yes, Mrs. Hart.
01:38I'm going to walk.
01:39Mrs. Hart, this isn't an easy thing to broach, but I believe...
01:45Thanks.
02:01Mrs. Hart!
02:02I hope my warning you proves I can be trusted.
02:05Mrs. Hart!
02:06Hello?
02:07Morning, Ted.
02:09Hello?
02:28Happy anniversary, Bernie.
02:30It sure rolls around.
02:32Perfumes, ground floor.
02:33Jewelry, floor three.
02:35Otherwise, dog houses, floor six.
02:38My regards to Cheryl.
02:40Please, I know this must be a shock.
02:42A friend of yours, Mrs. Hart?
02:44Hardly.
02:44Mrs. Hart, please, let me help.
02:46I know how hard you've worked for all this.
02:48Now the papers are saying you're finished.
02:50Mrs. Hart.
03:01God, Grandy, we tried to get a message to you.
03:03What do we know?
03:03Are you all right?
03:04Those hospital records they have, are they...
03:06A complete fabrication.
03:07Where's it come from this week?
03:09We've no idea, but it's rather detailed, I'm afraid.
03:11It appears one of the board.
03:13We need to control the narrative with press releases.
03:15A full-page spread in every outlet you own.
03:17Oh, and a double knows I don't.
03:21Accountant.
03:22Henry's in Aspen, Mrs. Hart, at his daughter's wedding.
03:24And shares are down 14% now.
03:27Jerry!
03:41I took the stairs.
03:44One unwelcome appearance of a morning might be considered an intrusion.
03:50Two verges on trespass.
03:52Jerry, send in security.
03:53Betty, there's a wasp at the picnic.
03:56Mrs. Hart, I'm trying to earn your trust, and I hope perhaps this endless feud...
03:59Oh, I wouldn't call it a feud.
04:02What would you call it, then?
04:03Well, I don't get involved in semantics.
04:05Um, a war?
04:08It's vital to me you realise I am better than the rest of my family.
04:11Well, that's an exceptionally unambitious claim.
04:14Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mole to unearth.
04:18But it's not just some anonymous board member.
04:20Mrs. Hart, I know who it is.
04:24It's your children.
04:28If you think for one moment that I'd trust you, Mr. Fairley...
04:33I know you have dedicated your entire life to the hatred of my family.
04:38Oh, now, you're quite wrong, Mr. Fairley.
04:41Hatred happens in secret, with neither purpose nor aspiration.
04:46No, what I've dedicated my life to...
04:50...is revenge.
05:20I'm looking for a fairly...
05:21Mr. Fairley Hall.
05:23Sorry to have startled you.
05:25I'm, uh, repairing their chimneys.
05:31Shane O'Neill is the name.
05:33But the whole world calls me Mac.
05:41If you can keep up, you can follow.
05:55My mum calls at the top of the world.
06:01Keep up!
06:17Well, I think that'll do me.
06:20What do you reckon?
06:22Ever smelt a rose that had a wasp in it?
06:38Edwin.
06:39Emma.
06:42I thought you didn't graduate till summer.
06:45Any excuse to come home?
06:50Well, you'll have missed your family.
06:53Have you met my Fairley?
06:55My father's hosting a weekend for some dignitary or other.
06:59I'm supposed to impress them.
07:01Well, good luck.
07:02Being impressive.
07:06Emma.
07:15Faster than you look.
07:18For the chimneys, Shane O'Neill, but the whole world, calls him Mac.
07:23This is Edwin.
07:25Master Edwin.
07:29Emma Hart!
07:37Sorry.
07:45Right, pay attention, you lot.
07:47Mary, beds, baths, bedpans.
07:49Holly, in with a mistress, as usual.
07:52Finally.
07:55Emma.
07:56Silverware, grates, glassware, all stairs and floors, and on time in future.
08:47Perhaps you'd like to treat yourself just on toast with that jam.
08:50What a ration in all things.
08:54Except preserves.
08:57Did your father tell you how cleverly he ironed out his issue with that foreman?
09:01Yes.
09:02All ships shape at the mill, largely.
09:04Thanks to you.
09:06Well, if Sir Vikram's impressed with you, it would all have been worthwhile.
09:11Edwin, did I tell you?
09:12The Chandras, Sir Vikram and his daughter Priya, coming to us straight from his trading meetings at Downing Street.
09:18You did say yes.
09:20Gosh.
09:21We must do our very best to get the Chandras on side.
09:25Let's see if we can't do our bit for Anglo-Indian relations.
09:29Well, Edwin never lets anyone down.
09:37Let's see if we can't do our best.
10:09Emma.
10:10What are you doing?
10:12That kiss.
10:13The morning I left.
10:14In the stable.
10:15We mustn't. We never should've.
10:16I know.
10:17We've resisted for so long.
10:18But your lips, the taste of your mouth.
10:21It's all I can think of now.
10:22We can.
10:23If they catch us.
10:24I don't care.
10:25Do you?
10:26Yes, you don't have a job to lose.
10:28Emma, this isn't some whim.
10:30This is you and me.
10:32Running, laughing.
10:34Telling each other everything.
10:36But it's different now, isn't it?
10:38Since that kiss, it's changed.
10:40And how can it not be better?
10:42I know you, Emma.
10:44I know you feel it too.
10:47I can't.
10:49I don't.
10:51I do, I do, of course I do.
10:53But I mustn't.
10:54I mustn't.
11:12Something on your mind?
11:16Someone.
11:17Ma'am.
11:20I know those mill boys finish early on a Saturday, but you stay focused, you hear?
11:26Did you get your extra dining money?
11:28I have.
11:32Keep climbing, Emma.
11:37You're talented.
11:38With your dressmaking.
11:40You've an eye.
11:41I've got two.
11:43And if you're smart, which I know you are, you can get out to Fairway.
11:48Don't be like me, you hear?
11:51Remember your plan with a capital P.
11:54Get out and get on.
11:58Or the rest of us, if we're born unfairly, we'll die here.
12:03But you won't get trapped.
12:05Remember, without money, you're vulnerable.
12:08So stay focused.
12:10And if a chance comes, you grab it.
12:15You hear me?
12:23McQueen!
12:24So don't get distracted.
12:26Don't take your eye off the board.
12:28Keep thinking ahead.
12:29Three moves, at least.
12:44We'll finish tomorrow, shall we?
12:47I love it.
12:49She's tired again.
12:51I was thinking, might we find money to at least talk to a doctor?
12:53Waterford medicine.
12:56Are your mum alright?
13:00She's fine.
13:03Shhh.
13:04You sleep.
13:05Shhh.
13:22Well, that's football for you, son.
13:24Tell you now, I don't know how Bradford think they've got a cat in hell's chance against Newcastle after that
13:28show at Blackburn.
13:29Oh, Blackburn.
13:31Dreadful results, dreadful.
13:33Lamb's not burning up as much as last night.
13:35No?
13:36No, she's a fighter.
13:37Your mum, she fights.
13:39Like me.
13:40I can fight, can't I, Dad?
13:42Aye, look at him here.
13:43Heavyweight, aren't you, son?
13:44Go on, get him in the belly.
13:45Go on, me, Dad.
13:46See what you've got, son.
13:50You know, me Dad's getting old, man.
13:51Troll but powerful.
13:53Look at that.
13:55Hey!
13:57He's had a slice already!
13:59Have a good day, Dad.
14:01It's alright.
14:02Yo.
14:04Small, but greedy.
14:05More like.
14:23Just talk so nice.
14:26If they catch her, I can look after myself.
14:33Just talk so nice.
14:56Polly.
14:59Well, look at that.
15:00My husband finally come to see me.
15:03I had time to kill.
15:06Flatterer.
15:11I like your shirt.
15:12It's ancient.
15:14Well, a bit like me then.
15:17Perhaps that's why I like it.
15:21How do I seem to you, Adam?
15:23I hate not to live up to your expectations.
15:26Every man has the right to expect his mad wife in the attic to behave appropriately.
15:42I shouldn't have come.
15:48But you wanted to come.
15:55I'm always here.
15:57Squire, Finn.
15:59I watch you from the window, wondering if you'll come.
16:02When you're riding your horses, holding on to me.
16:10For me.
16:35Where is Polly?
16:36Running an errand for Master Gerald.
16:40I feel for her.
16:41Never ends well when worlds collide.
16:49Mrs Fairley's waiting.
16:53Polly's on an errand.
16:55She does realise she's the lady's maid.
16:58She's got responsibilities.
17:01I'll take it.
17:22You're not Polly.
17:23I'm Emma, Mrs Fairley.
17:24Emma Hart.
17:26Well, Emma Hart.
17:28My husband is leaving, but don't worry.
17:30He always comes back again.
17:33We're busy downstairs.
17:34There's a party this weekend.
17:36I like parties.
17:37Yes.
17:38But my bad wife never dares leave her room.
17:41How many years, Adele, since you set foot downstairs?
17:46It's not a big event.
17:48It's only family and a few locals.
17:49Are you trying to remove me from this family?
17:52Oh, you removed yourself from this family a long time ago.
17:55Olivia will be there.
17:56A wife's sister isn't a substitute for a wife, Adam.
17:59I only mean that she knows the business, and I think it would be safer.
18:03I can be safe.
18:05I can be charming.
18:07Don't you think, Adam?
18:10Fine.
18:12Is today the day, Adele?
18:15Can you find the courage?
18:24Come downstairs.
18:28What you need to understand is we work hard on this Chandra deal.
18:32We!
18:32There's a lot of clever people, Adele.
18:34Every one of whom is sober and fully dressed.
18:47Why don't you sit down, Mrs Fairley?
18:49Sit down.
18:50And just breathe.
18:52Slowly, breathe.
18:55Breathe.
19:22I was just watering.
19:27The plants, obviously.
19:35Have you seen Adele?
19:40How is she?
19:42Much the same.
19:44Lost.
19:54Do you ever get frightened?
19:57Yes, of course.
19:58You're a woman.
20:01Men get frightened, too.
20:02Oh, men are only frightened of boredom and dying.
20:08Neither of those worry me.
20:10What is it, then, Mrs Fairley?
20:13What scares you?
20:15I'm frightened of disappearing.
20:18Of being forgotten.
20:20Most people just assume you're nobody and then dismiss you.
20:24Do you know that?
20:27Yes, I do.
20:31Every morning, I get dressed.
20:35And I do my hair.
20:37And I have every intention of going down to breakfast.
20:41Or to some fabulous party.
20:43Like when I was a girl.
20:45And some days, I try so hard to leave the room.
20:49But it all feels too much.
20:53So, I have to find other ways to get Adam's attention.
21:01Meanwhile, my sister swans around downstairs, doing everything I should do.
21:08She seems to find the world easy.
21:11But you're the lady of the house, Mrs Fairley.
21:14You've such lovely things.
21:16Oh.
21:16Your clothes.
21:17Well, I have marvellous clothes.
21:19And you've got your husband.
21:20And your sons.
21:22My babies.
21:23Well, your sister's got none of those.
21:25So, I expect she might be frightened of you.
21:32Oh, is it?
21:33Is it?
21:46Are you a bush?
21:48Well spotted.
21:50Lonely business, being a master of disguise.
21:56How's your plan, Emma?
21:58Still coming on?
21:59Of course.
22:00I'm doing my mending.
22:02If I can make my wages up by four shillings a week, I might be able to get to leave.
22:05Emma!
22:06Emma Hart!
22:08Give her a visitor.
22:19Dad says you're to come.
22:21Hi, Emma.
22:31Emma.
22:31Emma.
22:32Emma.
22:33Emma.
22:33I'm going to wait for me.
22:35I'll just throw you down.
22:36Don't be daft.
22:37We have to both go.
22:37Honest.
22:38I'll say goodbye.
22:39You go.
22:40Please.
22:41Please.
22:41Go.
22:43I'm sorry.
22:44I love you.
22:46Go.
22:47Go.
22:48Go.
22:48Go.
22:51Go.
22:52Go.
22:53Go.
22:53Go.
22:55Go.
22:56Go.
23:11I'm coming, Mom.
23:13I'm coming.
23:27I'm coming.
23:28I'm coming.
23:42Look at me.
23:45She's not left, love.
23:49Mum, it's me, it's Emma.
23:55I waited for you.
24:00I'm scared.
24:03Get out and get on Emma.
24:07You hear me? Promise me?
24:09Promise me.
24:11I'm her baby.
24:13Is he?
24:14I'm here.
24:20Now where's your dad?
24:22I'm here, love.
24:27I'm here.
24:29It's time.
24:33Dad!
24:34Dad, what are you doing?
24:36I don't know.
24:38I've got you now, love.
24:39Dad!
24:40Oh no.
24:41What are you doing?
24:43Dad!
24:46Dad!
24:47Mum!
24:49Mummy!
24:50Why are you taking her?
24:52The top of the world!
24:54The top of the world!
25:01There they are now, beautiful.
25:07No!
25:08No, no, no, no, no, no!
25:10Dad!
25:12No!
25:13No!
25:14No!
25:14No, no, no, no!
25:15Dad!
25:17I'm going to the top of the world!
25:18Swimming on me!
25:20No!
25:22No!
25:26No!
25:30No!
25:31No!
25:40I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I've been trying for you, you rest now,
26:22I'm so sorry, but I love you.
26:32Are you here, are you? About time. No time for moping in my heart.
26:39I missed half a day yesterday. We'll have a party tomorrow.
26:47It's a lovely morning out there, so no need for these, I don't think.
26:59You made any progress with your book?
27:06Would you like me to read to you again?
27:08I wouldn't like. No, not at all.
27:13Right.
27:15I heard there was to be a party.
27:17Oh, Sir Vikram.
27:20He's terribly important, so I suspect desperately boring.
27:26Well, thank you for stepping in.
27:30Well, no, it's not a question of stepping in.
27:33Just while I'm here, for your sake,
27:37I may as well every now and again run my eyes over Adam's business papers.
27:43What else do you run your eye over?
27:47Adele.
27:52Olivia, why would any man ever be beguiled by beige
27:57when he has every colour of the rainbow upstairs?
28:03You'll need a rest, I expect.
28:06Then perhaps tomorrow I could...
28:07Will you read to me? How wonderful!
28:10You know, you would have made a charming mother, Olivia.
28:16I think I have a hard time, Olivia.
28:26Emma?
28:29Emma?
28:30Emma?
28:30Emma?
28:31Emma?
28:31Emma?
28:33Emma?
28:37Emma?
28:38Have you heard about your mother?
28:44I've been thinking, sir.
28:46Might I be considered to look after Mrs...
28:54Might you be considered to what?
28:59I believe, Squire Fairley,
29:01that it's important to take your chances in life.
29:03And I reckon I understand the mistress.
29:06So I was wondering if I might look after her from now on,
29:09as a personal maid.
29:12I think if you ask the mistress, she'd like that too.
29:17I was thinking for Shaleen tomorrow a week.
29:22Hmm.
29:48When you know loss, Emma,
29:51it can suddenly feel like it's all you know.
29:54But you know a whole lot.
29:57So that's what you hold on to, do you hear?
30:01Because you're hungry.
30:03Isn't that right?
30:05And when you've known hunger, well, sure, you stay hungry.
30:10Emma Hart!
30:13What have you been saying to the master?
30:18Because from now on,
30:19he says it's your job to take the mistress's tray.
30:24Well, I don't know why you're standing still
30:25when the mistress is upstairs waiting!
30:33Emma?
30:39I finally feel like I'm being taken care of.
30:43So much for friends.
30:45I'm sorry, I have a family to look after.
30:48I know what Mrs Fairley likes.
30:50But it's about what she needs.
30:51And when she needed you, you were with the master.
30:54Oh well, isn't she lucky?
30:56Having you to show her just our life's done.
30:59Blame me if you like, Paul.
31:00Either if you do, I'm sure.
31:00But I know you're really disappointed in yourself.
31:08Stay there.
31:10Come back here you little brat.
31:12You'll never be a lady Emma Hart.
31:14Your dad's a layabout.
31:15And your mum.
31:16Your mum spent her all life trying to be better than us too.
31:20Then prove she weren't after all by dying of being poor.
31:30Hey!
31:32Hey!
31:33Hey!
31:34Hey!
31:35Hey!
31:35Hey!
31:37Absolute disgrace!
31:39The pair of you.
31:40Come here.
31:41What have you got to say?
31:42Hey?
31:43She tied me!
31:44She tied me!
31:46Right.
31:46Fetch your things!
31:48Come on.
31:48No!
31:51Oh!
31:52Gerald!
31:53Gerald!
31:54I was running errands for you, wasn't I?
31:56Tell him!
31:59I don't know what you're talking about
32:01Good decision, Murgelshroyd
32:02We have dogs to do our attacking
32:13Mothers, come and go
32:15That is how life works, Emma
32:18And jobs are the same if you're not careful
32:25We always used to look out for each other
32:27Now we're fighting like animals
32:30This place is wicked
32:33All the mountains of food going to waste
32:35And your mother talking about dreams
32:37Do you know what my dad dreams of?
32:39Survival
32:41That my man might have
32:46He should have lived
32:49I'm sorry
32:51I'm so sorry about your mother
32:53When I grow up, I won't ever be part
32:57I won't ever want for anything
32:58Like my mum did every last second of her life
33:00And none of my family will
33:01I promise you that, I promise you
33:03Emma, you've got me
33:03My world's not yours
33:05My father breaks his back
33:07Holding bricks while your father sits ordering lunch
33:09While his workers are half-starved
33:11Your family will want you to marry some rich girls
33:13So that when you're a fancy lawyer
33:14She'll get right in
33:16Emma
33:18Listen to me
33:20You're talking about other people
33:22Not the two of us
33:24You and I are just the same
33:28Only one of us has covered egg
33:37What's all this, Frank?
33:39Eh?
33:43I bumped my head
33:48My mum always used to kiss it better
33:52But also
33:54Where do I keep body bumping it?
33:59Because you're a hooligan
34:01And foul mouths, too
34:04Come on
34:05I'll cry until the bloody washing up stop
34:17This party today
34:18I should go
34:20Shouldn't I?
34:21I must
34:23Will I survive?
34:26When I'm drinking
34:26I might do anything
34:29Which is, of course, the curse and the bliss of it
34:31There's your answer
34:32No drinking
34:32Let's get your dress for now, Mrs Fairley
34:34Then see what comes next
34:36Is it beautiful enough, do you think?
34:39If I just take these roses off
34:40No
34:41You'll ruin it
34:42It'll be dry, won't it?
34:44It won't, Mrs Fairley
34:45It'll be elegant
34:46I can change the neckline
34:47These sleeves
34:49Maybe even a slit in the skirt
34:50Trust me
34:58I remember having your skin
35:02Just keep breathing, Mrs Fairley
35:05When you're nervous
35:07Put your hand on your heart
35:09And check it's still there
35:24You'll go downstairs and look kindly at your sister
35:27You'll tell your stories
35:28And let the whole room admire you
35:30You can do it, Mrs Fairley
35:32Of course you can
35:38You'll notice when you want to go downstairs
35:38You'll notice č抵Š½ŃÄ« n'its
35:47walk her wing
35:47I'm up to my side
35:48I'm up to my side
35:53I'm up to my side
35:54I'm up to my side
35:55To my side
35:55I'm up to my side
35:55I'm up to my side
35:55I'm up to my side
36:00You'll notice
36:03I'm sorry, may I?
36:10You've been very quiet.
36:12Are you nervous about the party?
36:14Oh no, I'm fine.
36:19It's stupid.
36:21Tell me.
36:25I know I'm only here to fill in for my sister.
36:28I'm only playing the part of...
36:31But some days it feels real.
36:34It does.
36:34It feels real to me too, sometimes.
36:40I barely used to eat in the morning, you know.
36:44There was no one to share things with.
36:47I had no conversation, no partner, and now it's...
36:55You.
37:10I'm sorry, I should...
37:36See, the trick is to not let any of the ringleaders on the middle floor think they have the upper
37:40hand.
37:41Although, in the case of the girl that had the accident, it's the only hand she's got.
37:45What about you, Edwin?
37:47Any thoughts on keeping workers in check?
37:50Truthfully, sir, I'm not sure it's up to us to actually-
37:53I'm afraid we have an idealist on our hands, Sir Vigra, but he's a bright lad.
38:01Well Edwin, if you are a free thinker, you sound the same as Priya, isn't that right, Priya?
38:06Well, it depends on how free he is and what he thinks about.
38:15It goes without saying, doesn't it, Adam, that anyone who invests in our mill will benefit from the unprecedented profit
38:21margins that we mentioned earlier.
38:25You must be a busy man, Squire Fil, my sister-in-law never off duty, and I hear her wife
38:31upstairs.
38:34Yes, my wife sends her apologies, she's unwell.
38:41A party for little old me?
39:05Oh, Olivia, you look charming.
39:12Adele, how wonderful to see you up and about.
39:18Oh, goodness!
39:20Darling!
39:21What a dress.
39:22You're a picture.
39:25It's a Vigra.
39:28This is my wife.
39:40We are the same, Emma.
39:44We're just the same.
39:52Though, admittedly, right now I feel a fair bit sillier than you.
39:55It's sharper than the fact that I shell and so on.
39:59You're supposed to be impressing them inside.
40:01They'll be around.
40:02I don't care about any of them.
40:04It is wicked here, you're quite right.
40:06It's unbearable.
40:08It's unbearable.
40:11It says neither of us bear it.
40:28Emma!
40:30Come on.
40:42You're beautiful.
40:44You're beautiful.
40:46I covered in egg.
40:48Oh.
41:09You're getting it everywhere.
41:13I'll be such a row if I'm not back.
41:17Do you want to go back?
41:32You're all wet.
41:34You're not cold.
41:36Hmm.
41:58What is it?
42:00Rings.
42:03Who's there?
42:08I never heard you.
42:10Never.
42:12But we mustn't.
42:56I love you, Emma.
42:59I love you my whole life.
43:00You know what?
43:02I love you, Emma.
43:05Here we like fish.
43:16In the movie?
43:18Oh.
43:23Mindy?
43:44Oh yes, Mr. Fairley, after everything your family did to me, I've dedicated my entire
43:53life to revamp me.
