00:05And, of course, I shall be in Rome next month, so I look forward to discussing your thoughts
00:11on my proposals in person.
00:14Meanwhile, my assistant will be booking my next week's appointments, as I shall only
00:18be on my business trip for another three days at most.
00:24The doctors say a week, at least.
00:28Nobody must know, Jerry.
00:31Any weakness just plays into their hands.
00:33I shall only be on my business trip for another three days at most.
00:38And also, have there been any calls, Jerry?
00:44Hundreds.
00:44I've had side texts on the phone day and night, and also...
00:47No, no, not work calls.
00:49Calls from the family.
00:51I've not let anyone know you're ill, Mrs. Hart.
00:54Your instruction.
00:55Of course.
00:57We both know there's someone who would want to be informed.
01:01If Paula knew you were ill, she'd be frantic.
01:13You're my honeybee, you're my honeybee.
01:17Come on and see me.
01:18You're feeling better.
01:21I miss her, of course.
01:23But better than before.
01:26Better than?
01:27How fucking dare she?
01:29Yeah, but actually, how dare she?
01:31Telling me who to love, then just swanning off on some mystery trip.
01:35She makes me so fucking angry.
01:37People that we love do that.
01:40Let me try to kiss me, boy.
01:42Free me, baby.
01:44Free me, or you're on fire.
01:45I love you.
01:48Jim, baby.
01:51I tried to stop.
01:54I don't think it works like that.
02:01Go home, Jerry, and tell that boyfriend of yours when his show opens.
02:06I shall be wanting front row seats.
02:08Mrs. Hart, might this be a sign?
02:12To join an exercise class?
02:14To slow down.
02:16Take a holiday or two.
02:18Have a rest.
02:20Have we met?
02:22I'm Emma Hart.
02:33I'll be right back.
03:02I'll be right back.
03:31I'll be right back.
03:34Mr. Klinski, do we have any Turkish Delight left?
03:37Oh, I don't imagine so.
03:38There's been such a run on it from all the big houses on the hill.
03:41You wouldn't believe how popular it's been.
03:43The fancy housekeepers have taken two boxes.
03:46But might we find one for Mrs. Easton, do you suppose?
03:55Oh, and you'd be wise to add a tin of pork and one more jar of applesauce, I think.
04:05You're welcome.
04:08Good evening.
04:10Emma, it's Christmas Eve.
04:13Imagine there are stockings that need hanging, trees that need decking.
04:16Oh, tell Edwina I've put one extra sugar mouse in your basket just for her so she is not to
04:23share.
04:23Yeah, I can close up.
04:25You get going.
04:29Oh, I have an ulterior motive.
04:31I'm planning to steal cheese.
04:32Take whatever you can carry.
04:34And I mean it.
04:35I know your family's probably finished celebrating now that Panicca's over,
04:38but we'd love you and Flora to join us tomorrow.
04:41Joe's complaining he can't see kitchen surfaces for food.
04:44Oh, Frank can't come.
04:45Too busy working for his exams.
04:47And Mac's been goodness knows where for months.
04:50Mac always has a mystery girl at a party in every town.
04:53Both mainly.
04:54So no, no one's coming.
04:56Which means there'll be plenty of room for you both if...
04:58Emma, I don't...
05:00I've been happy to help out here over the last couple of years, but...
05:05I can't just pretend to be a regular friend of your family.
05:10I can't.
05:11Merry Christmas, David.
05:40Merry Christmas, David.
05:50Merry Christmas, David.
05:51I think they're here.
05:52I just, um, I didn't...
05:54I'm sorry, I'm...
05:55I'm sorry, I'll leave...
05:57No, don't.
05:58I love you.
05:59Please.
06:01Stay.
06:07I don't come in here often.
06:10I quite understand how occasionally it could be helpful to...
06:16She's everywhere.
06:22It's wretched potions of hers.
06:27Always mysterious.
06:31It's difficult this week, particularly.
06:34She loved Christmas.
06:36Yes.
06:42Oh, no.
06:43There's, uh...
06:44Sit down.
06:45It's all right.
06:47Sit.
06:54There's so many different versions of her on every wall.
06:59She loved it.
07:02I can't bear one mirror most days.
07:07Yet you're more beautiful every minute.
07:30She'd, um...
07:32They'll be wandering where we should go.
08:05Welcome. You made it. It's been an age since you visited.
08:10Aunt Olivia.
08:10Oh, I love your earrings, Olivia. Thank you. Happy Christmas.
08:14You're here. Good.
08:17It's just me and the happy couples.
08:22Standards thriving, I hear. I've had nothing but good reports.
08:25Hard week, was it? At the forefront of world news.
08:29Festive joy at armly Christmas fate.
08:33This word sells.
08:34Well, I'm glad someone finally worked out with us.
08:37The newspaper's been a liability for us for years, but you've made it pay.
08:41I thought the plan was, when you took over the paper,
08:43that it would be nothing but hard-hitting journalism.
08:46I'm saving my stirring editorials about German defence spending for January.
08:53Dinner time.
08:54And drinks, perhaps?
08:55Yes, please. Drinks, plural.
08:57Oh, that's some kind of parlour game.
09:00Father wants to play a jolly game, Aunt Olivia.
09:02What do you think? Happy families? Wink murder?
09:06Gerald.
09:08Leave him.
09:12I'm going out.
09:19It's Christmas Eve. Does the casino never close?
09:22Listen, have you got any cash?
09:25None for you to lose.
09:28I thought the mill was back on an even keel.
09:33Since Mother, uh...
09:36Hasn't it felt like being underwater?
09:43Yes.
09:46Are you getting yourself into trouble?
09:49Christ.
09:50The interest these lone people charge at them.
09:52They're villains.
09:54Hamilton Equitable, they call themselves.
09:56Now they're threatening me with demands for repayment.
10:00My father.
10:00My father mustn't know.
10:01But, uh...
10:04I've all but promised them my firstborn.
10:08By Boxing Day.
10:11But tonight I have a sure thing.
10:12I can make it all back.
10:13And more.
10:15Please.
10:18That paper.
10:19Such a financial triumph.
10:20Hmm?
10:22Please.
10:26Please.
10:27Please.
10:30Can't wait.
10:31You will let me go.
10:32I will.
10:40You'll let me see.
10:41Got it.
10:55We'll get you back.
11:04I'm Barry, I'm Barry.
11:23Look at this pretty one, Daddy.
11:26That is lovely.
11:28Right, where can we put this one?
11:29There or higher?
11:31Higher, higher.
11:32Higher, you say?
11:33Well, look at this. Goodness.
11:36Oh, here you are at last.
11:38You must be exhausted.
11:39Now, where's my favourite girl?
11:41No, down, down, no.
11:45Let's get another one.
11:46Oh, you've already hung the stockings.
11:49Well, Edwina wanted to do them before her baby brother went to bed.
11:53Of course.
11:54And she's been working so hard.
11:59Just like her mum.
12:01Well, the tree looks beautiful.
12:03You've an eye for it, love.
12:06But there's a gap here, look.
12:08Can we just move this bubble?
12:10No, I want it there!
12:12No!
12:13We had found just the right spot for it, haven't we, sweetheart?
12:16Clever girl.
12:17It's perfect just where you put it.
12:19What about this one, Daddy?
12:21Right.
12:22Right.
12:22Where shall we put that?
12:23Put that?
12:25Okay, let's try it.
12:26Come on, Daddy.
12:28You're alright.
12:28It's okay.
12:29Right.
12:34It's okay.
12:36Come on.
12:38He should have known.
12:49Come on, Poi.
12:51Come on, Poi.
12:51Come on.
12:52Come on.
12:53Come on...
12:55Go on.
13:02safely tucked up
13:02on her back, mouth open
13:05look, it's got his blanket
13:07we have a pack today
13:08sold all of the fresh stuff
13:10just a load of beef and potato pies left in the stock room
13:13I need to shift
13:18Joe, have you thought any more about the shops?
13:22hardly allowed to these days, am I?
13:24you're welcome to be as involved as you like in the shops
13:27am I?
13:28and what about your other businesses?
13:30the ones that I'm not allowed to know about
13:31what other businesses?
13:34anywhere you've got your garden
13:37and your books
13:39big reader
13:40that's right, I'm sure that's what the neighbours think of me
13:44no
13:46what I meant was
13:49have you thought about me buying the shops?
13:51having all three in my name
13:53I've the money put away
13:54and I want to pay
13:57but
13:59for a Christmas present
14:01if you're short of one
14:03I like my name and all of the deeds
14:06I'm sorry to break it to you
14:08but for almost two years
14:10we've had the same name
14:12you know what I mean
14:14I know that it's time for bed
14:16I'll kiss the children for you, shall I?
14:18I always kiss the children
14:19I kiss them all the time
14:20you do, yes
14:23outside of dreading hours
14:30I don't like your soul
14:31who está or not
14:31you'll be willing to out there
14:31I mean, if needed
14:31you'll be praying for it
14:31well
14:34it's time to me
14:35I love it
14:46I love it
14:49I love it
14:50I love you

14:53I love it
14:54I love it
14:54and I love it
14:55it's time to be
15:10How was your short day?
15:12Sure things like marriages.
15:14Only fools expect they'll work out.
15:16I need more time to throw myself at the mercy of these Hamilton inequitable people.
15:20Make them see sense.
15:21Man to man.
15:23I'll be late for lunch.
15:25Don't tell father.
15:38Oh, so good.
15:40Oh, my God.
15:54Could have had the maids come in to at least do dinner.
15:57They have families of their own to be with.
15:58And you don't run up to Christmas.
16:03Obviously, the shop comes first.
16:06But I must say, I did hope that today...
16:08Today I have a million things to do.
16:09But you sit, please.
16:11Sit.
16:15What time did you go up?
16:16I was hoping we might get to, er, lie-in.
16:20I'm going to fall short in that department.
16:21No, I just meant...
16:23Kate, Kate, Kate!
16:25She's wanting me all long.
16:27No, love.
16:27We don't have chocolate for breakfast.
16:29And the Yule Log's for later, so...
16:31It's Christmas.
16:32No, Jo, she mustn't.
16:35Not the whole thing.
16:36All right, where's the heart?
16:37Don't give it to her!
16:40Now, look!
16:40The waste!
16:47It looks like you've got this under control.
16:50Anyone want to play a game?
16:57Love, you're just over there.
16:58You've got that nice, man.
17:01Good chance.
17:02You've got to be here.
17:07I'm just trying to fill the gaps a bit.
17:10When we were children,
17:12Adele and I used to decorate place settings
17:15with people's names.
17:16You know, which cost nothing, of course.
17:19I didn't know if Edwin and Gerald
17:20would think it a bit silly.
17:21Too much, probably.
17:23You're doing a wonderful job.
17:28I just wanted to make it, well,
17:30if not perfect, then at least bearable.
17:37Where would we have been without you
17:39these last few years?
17:41And before that,
17:43I realise,
17:44for years,
17:46decades,
17:48we're always there.
17:54Well,
17:56Olivia.
18:03Is that it?
18:04Adele's ring, yes.
18:05She'd be so glad for you to have it.
18:09Darling,
18:12will you be my wife?
18:15Yes.
18:35Now,
18:37They're the boys.
19:27Oh, not today, Charlotte.
19:29What's to do there if it's shut?
19:30I'm fetching another Yule log.
19:33Also, I've had an idea about those beef and potato pies.
19:35They need shipped in.
19:36Emma, it's Christmas day.
19:37Be back soon, love.
19:38Look, I'm gone.
20:03You look lovely.
20:07I suppose we should go downstairs.
20:10Yes.
20:11I don't want you to look like we're hiding.
20:14But first...
20:35It's beautiful.
20:40Thank goodness.
20:40Yes.
20:43It was a risk, but I know with my mother, remembering's good.
20:52And last year, our first Christmas, we hardly knew each other.
20:56So I can't even remember what I got you.
20:59Something unimaginative, I expect, like chocolates.
21:14I love them.
21:17Mmm.
21:20Oh, never mind the Balkans.
21:22Asquith.
21:23Asquith is the real threat.
21:24Lord telling me that if the French went to war, he wouldn't follow them without a second
21:27thought.
21:28Like a shot, but it won't come to that.
21:30Well, better ask his wife.
21:32Asquith tells everything to his wife.
21:33And Lloyd George tells everything to other people's wives.
21:36Mmm.
21:41Speaking of wives...
21:49Show them.
21:59Oh.
22:02Congratulations.
22:08Edwin, I know this must be...
22:10I'm making an honest woman out of her, Edwin.
22:12And she is making me...
22:14The happiest man in the world.
22:22Congratulations.
22:25Aunt Olivia.
22:43You really must release yourself of it, Olivia.
22:46Yes.
22:47What shame of yours is this guilt.
22:51It's exhausting.
23:01Excuse me.
23:01Excuse me, I have a bit of a headache.
23:08Your brother didn't save any danger join us.
23:15But this...
23:19That bitties, my friends, isn't it?
23:19That bitties, my parents would be here.
23:28No one can't.
23:28No one can't.
23:35It's a little bit, honey.
23:35Is that good?
23:36Little one could do this.
23:38The most, maybe.
23:39Oh, he's just...
23:39It's not...
23:39That's not true.
23:40But I have to lie.
23:5357 High Street, is that right?
23:55What are you doing here?
23:56I could ask you the same.
23:58But the gold letters outside give you away.
24:01Why have you come, Joel Fairley?
24:03Mr Fairley, to you.
24:06And I have a letter for Hamilton Equitable.
24:09Then I'd better take it.
24:14I've faced this to be, even if you don't.
24:16Muld wine, mints, pies and the like.
24:18To hand over the letter, you've gone to all the trouble of bringing me, and take your leave.
24:22You're Hamilton Equitable?
24:24You're in the money-lending business?
24:26Only to you.
24:27Heard you got yourself into trouble, as the weak often do, and saw an opportunity.
24:30Now get out of my shop, leave any correspondence you have on the mat, and I'll reply after Christmas.
24:35This is the best Christmas present I could ever have.
24:37Well, this hears me thinking that I had to pay that money back.
24:40It's Hamilton Equitable, some kind of real firm.
24:43No, it's real, all right.
24:44Some little jumped-up housemaid bearing a grudge because she got rejected is no real business.
24:48Take that up with a team of lawyers who have verified my interest rates and the contract you signed.
24:53Now get out of my shop.
24:55I don't want that money back tomorrow, as agreed.
24:59Think you're clever, don't you?
25:02Where's the child, Emma Hart?
25:05I haven't got a child.
25:06Oh, come on.
25:07Where's the child you had that belongs to my brother?
25:09I did not have your brother's baby.
25:12Think of that.
25:14You're nothing but a whore.
25:16A good one, I have no doubt.
25:18But nonetheless, a whore.
25:21Edwin told me the whole sorry tale late one night, tears in his eyes.
25:25I don't know what story he's told you or himself, but I didn't have Edwin's child.
25:29Does your father know how much debt you're in?
25:31I know.
25:32Your game, Emma Hart.
25:34I know.
25:34It's common practice with tramps from the working class that you'll turn up with your child at some stage to
25:39blackmail our family.
25:40Well, you've had enough money out of me.
25:46You know Edwin's married now, don't you?
25:50Not that his wife gives him what he wants.
25:55Not like you did, I'm sure.
25:57Oh, I saw how stuck on you Edwin was.
26:00So I imagine you know how to move those hooks of yours, don't you?
26:04Oh, come on.
26:05You gave it up willingly enough for Edwin, didn't you?
26:07And I'm not above taking his seconds.
26:10What's the matter?
26:12I was like you already any time of day or night.
26:15It's your Christmas spirit, Emma Hart.
26:17I can see you.
26:18Put on your little dress for me.
26:19Get off!
26:20I used to see you in my house.
26:23Watching.
26:25And you always knew what you wanted.
26:27So did I.
26:29So did I.
26:31Yes, you did.
26:32I know you did.
26:33I can tell.
26:34I can tell.
26:36I can tell.
26:55That is the final deposit in settlement of my account.
27:07Get out because I mean it.
27:09I will kill you.
27:09I will.
27:11I like a tiger.
27:12I like you wild.
27:14Emma Hart.
27:15You are nothing, Gerald Fairley.
27:18You are an insignificant man who's had every advantage his whole life.
27:22Yet the only way you feel like a winner is to use physical strength for approximately 15 seconds.
27:28Well, your body might be stronger than mine, but your resolve never will be.
27:31Your filthy animal needs will never match the lust, the fire that burns inside of me.
27:37Because my desire is destruction.
27:39And I'll never stop.
27:40Not ever.
27:41Not till I've ruined you and every other member of your self-absorbed, privileged and spineless family.
27:46You boring little tramp.
27:48And as for the money you owe, check your contract.
27:50I'm calling in your collateral.
27:54You, you, you couldn't.
27:56One signature from me and it's done.
27:58When I sign that paper, every brick of Fairley Mill will belong to me.
28:02And I'll leave it up to you to explain to your dad why you put it up as security.
28:05Because this is just the start.
28:07I won't stop making your family pay until every Fairley living mourns the day they ever heard the name Emma
28:12Hart.
28:17It's a happy Christmas, Gerald Fairley.
28:20More Hamilton equitable than Hart Enterprises.
28:38It's a happy Christmas, Gerald Fairley.
28:46No, no, no, no.
28:50No, no, no.
29:34I got the Yule log.
29:36Well, that's good, because we're going to need all the supplies that we can get.
29:39Sheriff, if there'd been no Yule log, I'd have had my coat on and been striking out that door.
29:45What's a Yule log?
29:49You came.
29:51You're here.
29:56Happy Christmas.
29:59Morning, you all right?
30:02I am now.
30:04Max got a surprise of his own.
30:12Oh.
30:14I'm sorry.
30:15Hello.
30:16Emma, this is Laura.
30:19My friend.
30:22A special friend?
30:24Is it that great news?
30:26It is.
30:27Of course it is.
30:29I kept telling Mac it wasn't a day for Interproductions, but you know what he's like.
30:34He did tell you I was coming.
30:39Of course.
30:41Welcome.
30:42Welcome indeed.
30:44For goodness sake, let's have a drink, shall we?
30:47let's have a drink. Oh.
30:53Yeah.
31:00trong I'm
31:03sorry.
31:05Wait. You know
31:06Huh? Go on.
31:09What?
31:10Huh? Oh.
31:13Oh.
31:15Oh.
31:15Oh.
31:17How does
31:17Oh, oh. Oh,
31:19Oh, my God.
31:47Oh, my God.
32:27Am I an ill-mannered brute, no warning, and an uninvited guest in tow?
32:34Oh, a dreadful brute. Always.
32:40You're always, always welcome.
32:44The best one you've introduced, so I'm guessing Laura's not like the others.
32:49The many others.
32:50That's nice. A lot of it.
32:53I barely know any girls at all.
33:02Not in danger of settling down, are you?
33:06Jane O'Neill.
33:09Sure. It takes a special girl to get a proposal from me.
33:14Okay, my heart.
33:18Do I still have a wife?
33:20Presents? We've waited long enough.
33:23No.
33:28Go.
33:58Later on, perhaps.
33:59You can't give a man a present and not let him open it.
34:03What is it, Daddy?
34:05My love, your gift is outside the front of the house.
34:09Is it a treasure hunt?
34:11Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt!
34:14Outdoors? I mean, what needs to be kept cold? A beer?
34:17Yeah.
34:18Not a beef and potato pie.
34:25Daddy, look! Is it for you?
34:28Not for me.
34:31No, Emma!
34:32I know you want to be.
34:34Yeah, but I never dreamed it.
34:38Have you seen this?
34:40The car from my beautiful, hard-working wife.
34:44No more hardship for Emma Hart, eh?
34:46That's all right.
34:48Well done, my morning.
34:49Let's go for an adventure!
34:50No!
35:00I have an unimaginative gift I need help with.
35:05Thanks.
35:06My husband hasn't shown his devotion to me with cheap chocolates.
35:09These are definitely mid-range.
35:20I don't agree with everything Mr Fairley says, but...
35:25I'm sure he's right.
35:26That your sister would want you to be happy.
35:30Who knows what a tell would have wanted.
35:34If she didn't know herself, I suspect.
35:38All I know is how strange it feels with her gone.
35:44It's as if everything's gone dark.
35:50People leave us, but the love doesn't.
35:53You think you can't stand it, the grief.
35:57Then one day it starts to become bearable.
36:01The sun comes out.
36:06Olivia!
36:09Where have you got to?
36:11Olivia!
36:17We can look for it ourselves all we like,
36:19but what we're all hoping for is that love finds us.
36:23Don't you think?
36:25Real love.
36:28The kind you don't have to question.
36:52No.
36:55You saw Edwin's reaction.
36:56He was horrified.
36:58And if we think that anyone at all will feel any differently,
37:01then we're lying to ourselves.
37:03I mean, for God's sake, I don't feel any differently.
37:04It is horrifying.
37:07So...
37:08I can't do it. I'm sorry. I can't.
37:10I can't do it.
37:10I can't do it.
37:20I can't do it.
37:22I can't do it.
37:40But for no reason.
37:48Olivia, if we don't legitimize this,
37:51if we don't show the world that you and I weren't just fooling around,
37:59then how do you explain what the hell you're still doing here?
38:02What's been going on in this house?
38:07How do we explain it to the boys?
38:25I'm sorry.
38:31Now.
38:32Come on.
38:34It's Christmas.
38:35What are we playing?
38:36Chau'n's?
38:49For my beautiful wife that beats the shop, all three, all in your name, Merry Christmas.
38:59I want to pay for them, I mean it, I've all the money saved.
39:12That car was some present.
39:17Joe deserves some consolation for his absentee wife.
39:21He deserves not to feel stuck.
39:25Also, you deserve a husband who can speed you up and down in a fancy sports car.
39:32He did want a car, it's just that maybe he wanted other things more.
39:44It can be lonely, am I right?
39:50Having purpose, being so certain every day, not everyone understands, so it can be lonely.
40:01Thanks.
40:08Laura's wonderful.
40:10She's a good woman.
40:12Seems stuck on you.
40:14Can you blame the girl?
40:18She's not like us though.
40:21Well, what a relief.
40:22Well, she wants her a quiet life.
40:24Although, did you see her in the passenger seat?
40:26Screaming, she was.
40:29She's a dark horse, yes.
40:31Say that.
40:37I'm glad you like her.
40:39I'm glad you like her.
40:41That's important.
40:47I'm buying the shops from Joe.
40:49All of them.
40:51All of them.
40:52And I've got myself a present too.
40:59You're looking at the new owner of Fairley Mill.
41:07Because when you're busy making sacrifices every day, you deserve the odd reward.
41:15You're doing it, Emma.
41:18You're doing it.
41:19I am.
41:21I am.
41:22And I'm only just beginning.
41:32Check the shops.
41:34Emma.
41:35I want to.
41:36Please.
41:37To feel safe.
41:42How was it?
41:43Oh.
41:44She's a dream.
41:46The car ran the wife.
41:50I wanted you to have something you loved.
41:53So did I.
41:55Hey!
42:00Hello.
42:05You're buying a sportsman there.
42:07Watch out.
42:10I'm flaccid aboard, you know.
42:13We want to get your pleasure.
42:15Right don't we?
42:16Yeah.
42:17Are you surprised?
42:18I am on front.
42:20I am.
42:20I am.
42:23That's more important, eh, than family.
42:27Come here!
42:37Where the hell have you been?
42:40You've missed quite a day.
42:42Did you at least manage to buy yourself more time?
42:45Gerald!
42:48Mother was the only one who thought anything of me, wasn't she?
42:52It's just about the debt.
42:54Gerald, it's just money, it doesn't matter.
42:56It's gone. The mill's gone, she's taken it.
43:00Who has? Who's taken it?
43:02Your little whore, Emma Hart.
43:07Strutting around like she's anything more than just a tramp maid.
43:11And she's dangerous, she won't stop there.
43:14But we can make sure she gets what's coming to her.
43:17Can't we, Edwin?
43:20We'll remind Emma Hart, if she really is.
43:23We'll make her sorry, won't we?
43:31We'll make her sorry, won't we?
