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.
02:06Mrs. Hart!
02:06Mrs. Hart!
02:09Hello?
02:12Mrs. Hart!
02:13Mrs. Hart!
02:22Mrs. Hart!
02:30That sure rolls around.
02:32Perfumes, ground floor.
02:34Jewelry, floor three.
02:35Otherwise, dog houses, floor six.
02:38My regards to Cheryl.
02:40Please, I know this must be a shop.
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 in those 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.
03:45One unwelcome appearance of a morning might be considered an intrusion.
03:50Two verges on trespass.
03:52Jerry, send in security.
03:53There'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 realize 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 un-earn.
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...
04:49is revenge.
05:19I'm looking for a fairy tale.
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 a Mac.
07:23This is Edwin.
07:25Master Edwin.
07:29Emma Hart!
07:37Sorry.
07:45Right, pay attention, you lot.
07:47Mary, beds, baths, bedpans.
07:50Holly, in with the mistress.
07:51As usual.
07:52Finally.
07:55Emma.
07:56Silverware, grates, glassware, all stairs and floors.
07:59And on time in future.
08:02Yeah.
08:47Perhaps you'd like to treat yourself just in toast with that jam.
08:49Moderation in all things.
08:54Except preserves.
08:55Oh, wow.
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.
09:11Edwin, did I tell you?
09:12Edwin, did I tell you?
09:12The Chandras and Vikram and his daughter Priya are coming to us straight from his trading
09:16meetings 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.
10:01Let's see if we can't do our best to get the Chandras on side.
10:08Emma.
10:10What are you doing?
10:12That kiss.
10:13The morning I left.
10:14In the stable.
10:15We mustn't.
10:15We never should have.
10:16I know.
10:17We've resisted for so long.
10:18But your lips, the taste of your mouth, it's all I can think of now.
10:22We can't.
10:23They 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, running, laughing, telling each other everything.
10:36But it's different now, isn't it?
10:38Since that kiss, it's changed.
10:40How can it not be better?
10:42I know you.
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.
10:57I mustn't.
10:58I don't.
11:11Something on your mind?
11:16Someone.
11:17Ma'am.
11:19I 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.
11:33Keep climbing, Emma.
11:37You're talented, with your dressmaking. You'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?
11:50Remember your plan with a capital P.
11:54Get out and get on.
11:58The rest of us, if we're born in Fairway, 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.
12:14You 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?
12:47All right, love.
12:49She's tired again.
12:51I was thinking, might we find money to at least talk to a doctor?
12:53What a thought medicine.
12:56Are you and Mum all right?
13:00She's fine.
13:02Shh.
13:04You sleep.
13:05All right.
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.
13:29Blackburn.
13:30Yeah, look, dreadful results, dreadful.
13:33Mum's not burning up as much as last night.
13:35No?
13:36She's a fighter, your mum.
13:38She fights.
13:39Like me.
13:40I can fight, can't I, Dad?
13:42All right, we'll get in here.
13:43Every way, 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 what, me, Dad's getting old, man.
13:51Small but powerful.
13:53Look at that.
13:55Hey, he's had a slice already.
13:59Have a good day, Dad.
14:01It's all right.
14:02Yo.
14:04Small, but greedy, more like.
14:23Just talk so nice.
14:26If they catch her, I can look after myself.
14:56Well, 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.
15:15Hmm.
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.
15:43I shouldn't have come.
15:44I shouldn't have come.
15:45I shouldn't have come.
15:48But you wanted to come.
15:55I'm always here.
15:57Squire, fair.
15:59I watch you from the window, wondering if you'll come.
16:02When you're riding your horses, holding on tight.
16:05No.
16:09Squire, throw 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, but my mad 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?
17:51Oh, 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.
18:04I 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 damn hard in this Chandra, Adele.
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.
18:52Slow breathe.
19:22I was just watering.
19:27At a glance, 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.
20:03Oh.
20:04Men are only frightened of boredom and dying.
20:08Neither of those worry me.
20:10What is it, then, Mrs Fairley?
20:12What 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?
20:26Yes, I do.
20:31Every morning, I get dressed, and I do my hair, and I have every intention of going down to breakfast.
20:41Or to some fabulous party, like when I was a girl.
20:45And some days, I try so hard to leave the room, but 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.
21:31Oh, is it?
21:37Oh.
21:46Are you a bush?
21:48Well-sorted.
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!
22:08You've a visitor.
22:19Dad says she ought to come.
22:20Hi, Emma.
22:22Hi, Emma.
22:32No.
22:32No.
22:33Emma.
22:34Don't 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've said 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.
22:49Go.
22:53Go.
22:53Go.
22:53Go.
22:54Go.
22:54Go.
22:56Go.
22:58Go.
22:59Go.
23:11I'm coming, Mom.
23:13I'm coming.
23:27I've got it, Emma.
23:29I've got it.
23:29I've got it.
23:30You go.
23:42Look at me.
23:46She's not left, love.
23:49Mom.
23:50It's me.
23:51It's Emma.
23:55I've got it.
23:57I've got it.
24:00I've got it.
24:02Get out.
24:04Get on, Emma.
24:06You hear me?
24:07Promise me?
24:09Promise me.
24:11Emma, baby.
24:13Is he here?
24:14I'm here.
24:20Now where is your dad?
24:22I'm here.
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!
24:47Mom!
24:49Mommy!
24:50Why are you taking her?
24:52The top of the world.
25:01They're not beautiful.
25:07No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
25:10Dad!
25:12No, no, no, no.
25:15Dad!
25:17We're going to the top of the world.
25:18Swimming on me.
25:19Daddy.
25:23No.
25:35No.
25:37No.
25:39I'm so sorry.
25:42No!
25:44No!
25:45No!
25:47No!
25:49I'm trying for you.
25:56You rest now off.
26:32Oh, you're here, are you? About time. No time for moping in my heart. Missed half a day yesterday. We'll
26:41have a party tomorrow.
26:47It's a lovely morning out there. No need for these, I don't think.
26:59You made any progress with your book?
27:07Would 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.
27:25Well, thank you for stepping in.
27:30Well, no, it's not a question of stepping in.
27:33You know, just while I'm here, for your sake, I may as well every now and again run my eyes
27:40over Adam's business papers.
27:42What else do you run your eye over?
27:47Adele.
27:53Olivia, why would any man ever be beguiled by beige when he has every colour of the rainbow upstairs?
27:59Yes.
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.
28:26Emma.
28:33I was...
28:35I heard about your mother.
28:44I've been thinking, sir.
28:47Might I be considered to look after Mrs...
28:54Might you be considered to what?
28:59I believe, Squire Fairley, that 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 let that do.
29:17I was thinking for Shaleen tomorrow a week.
29:22Hmm.
29:48When you know loss, Emma, it 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?
30:00Because you're hungry.
30:02Isn'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?
30:18From now on, he says it's your job to take the mistress's tray.
30:24Well, I don't know why you're standing still when 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, and when she needed you, you were with the master.
30:54Oh well, isn't she lucky?
30:56Having you to show her just how 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, and your mam!
31:16Your mam spent her whole life trying to be better than us two.
31:19Than prove she weren't after all, by dying of being poor!
31:30Oi!
31:32Oi!
31:34Enough!
31:35Enough!
31:38Absolute disgrace!
31:39The pair of you!
31:41What have you got to say?
31:43She tied me!
31:44She tied me!
31:46Fetch your fingers!
31:47No!
31:48No!
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, Margot Shroyd.
32:03We have dogs to do our attacking.
32:13Mothers.
32:14Come and go.
32:15That is how life works, Emma Hart.
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 mam might have...
32:46You should have lived!
32:49I'm sorry.
32:51I'm so sorry about your mother.
32:53When I grow up,
32:55I won't ever be poor.
32:57I won't ever want for anything like my mam did every last second of her life.
33:00None of my family will.
33:01I promise you that.
33:02I promise you.
33:03Emma, you've got me.
33:03My world's not yours!
33:05My father breaks his back holding bricks while your father sits ordering lunch while his workers half-starved.
33:11The family will want you to marry some rich girl so that when you're a fancy lawyer she'll get right
33:15in.
33:16Emma.
33:18Listen to me.
33:19You're talking about other people.
33:22Not the two of us.
33:24You and I are just the same.
33:28Only one of us discovered egg.
33:37What's all this, Frank?
33:39Eh?
33:43I bumped my head.
33:48My mamma was just to kiss it better.
33:53But also...
33:54Where do I keep your body bumping it?
33:59Because you're a hooligan.
34:01And foul mouths too.
34:04Come on.
34:06I'll cry until the bloody washing up's done.
34:17This party today.
34:19I should go.
34:20Shouldn't I?
34:21I must, but...
34:24Will I survive?
34:26When I'm drinking, I might do anything.
34:29Which is, of course, the curse and the bliss of it.
34:31There's your answer.
34:32No drinking.
34:33Let'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.
34:43It'll be dry, won't it?
34:44It won't, Mrs Fairley.
34:45It'll be elegant.
34:46I can change the neckline.
34:48These sleeves.
34:49Maybe even a slit in the skirt.
34:51Trust me.
34:57I remember having your skin.
35:02Just keep breathing, Mrs Fairley.
35:05When you're nervous, put your hand on your heart and check it's still there.
35:24You'll go downstairs and look kindly at your sister.
35:27We'll tell your stories and let the whole room admire you.
35:30You can do it, Mrs Fairley.
35:32Of course you can.
35:33I'm so scared.
35:44You're good.
35:48I'm so scared.
35:53How are you going to do?
35:54You're good.
35:54I'm so scared of my eyes.
35:56You're good.
36:01I'm so scared of my eyes.
36:03I'm so scared of them.
36:03I'm sorry. May I?
36:10You've been very quiet. Are 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. It 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.
37:11I'm sorry. I should go.
37:13I'll get you.
37:14I'll get you.
37:29I'll get you.
37:36I can't wait.
37:38I'm sorry.
37:39I'll get you.
37:40I can't, I'm sorry.
37:43It'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.
37:58But he's a bright lad.
38:01Well, Edwin, if you are a free thinker, you sound the same as Priya here.
38:06Isn't that right, Priya?
38:07Depends on how free he is and what he thinks about.
38:15It goes without saying, doesn't it, Adam,
38:18that anyone who invests in our meal will benefit from the unprecedented profit margins that we mentioned earlier.
38:24You must be a busy man, Squire Faye.
38:27A sister-in-law never off duty, and I hear her wife upstairs.
38:32Yes, uh, my wife sends her apologies.
38:36She's unwell.
38:41A party?
38:42For little old me?
38:52A party for little old me?
39:09Oh, Olivia, you look charming.
39:12Adele, how wonderful to see you up and about.
39:17Oh, goodness, darling.
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 in the back of the night.
39:57Shell 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.
40:05You're quite right.
40:07It's unbearable.
40:11So it's neither of us, Barrett.
40:19Come on.
40:28Emma!
40:30Come on.
40:42You're beautiful.
40:44You're beautiful.
40:46I covered an egg.
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.
41:57What is it?
42:00Rings.
42:03Who's there?
42:09I'd never hide you, Emma.
42:12But we mustn't.
42:15I'll be like, ooh.
42:19I'll be like, do you?
42:20I'm not.
42:27I'll be like, do you?
42:31I'll be like, do you?
42:56I love you Emma, I love you my whole life.
43:01I love you, Emma.
43:44Oh yes, Mr. Fairley, after everything your family did to me, I've dedicated my entire life
43:54to revenge.
43:56I love you.
43:56I love you.
43:58I love you.
43:58I love you.
