00:22The Countess is here to see you, Mrs. Hart.
00:26Mummy, what a dreadful week for you.
00:29I just can't bear it.
00:30I said to the florist, your absolute best bouquet, though no roses, and the girl knew immediately
00:34they must be for you.
00:35How about that?
00:37Ah, those wretched papers.
00:39I was so pleased when you suggested lunch.
00:41Are you surviving?
00:42When have you known me not to?
00:44Hello, darling.
00:45I'd put patsies for 1.30.
00:46Will that do?
00:47Janet swear she saw Sinatra there only last Tuesday.
00:49Mum's favourite thing to say is that she's done it all for her family, which is ludicrous,
00:53of course, for a woman who's spent every moment of her adult life avoiding her family and making
00:58grand speeches about bloody revenge, which is pathetic.
01:02There's a downside, of course, to making certain one's children never want for anything at
01:08all, and that's being forced to watch them stroll through life taking everything in their
01:14path for granted.
01:15Mummy, I'm so sorry.
01:17What would you like to explain first, my love, your detailed expose to the press of my confidential
01:22medical records, or your use, too, Mr. Fairley, of the word harridan?
01:29I can explain.
01:31Well, I'd love to hear it, darling.
01:34Truly, I'd love to understand, because everything I've ever done has been for my family.
01:51Tell them.
01:55Bye.
01:58Bye.
02:00Bye.
02:02Bye.
02:03Bye.
02:06Bye.
02:09Bye.
02:15Time sheets, Mr Fowler.
02:17Thanks.
02:18It's all well, at home.
02:27What about it?
02:28I know some of the staff at the hall were wondering if Emma might have been in touch with any
02:33news around now.
02:39It's been a man since we saw her.
02:43It's been six months.
02:46Six and a half.
02:51She sends money every month.
02:54Postmark leads.
02:56She's got a good head on her shoulders, Mr Fairley.
02:58She gets some weight.
03:00No address, no news.
03:03Don't want us to worry.
03:05Anyway, it's all congratulations, Renard, for your engagement.
03:12Have a later shift to give a week.
03:29All right, so now.
03:32Don't worry.
03:33All right.
03:33Thank you very much.
03:47Now, Mrs. Fairweather.
03:49I've been up all night finishing this dress just for you.
03:53So I believe this will be exactly what you're after.
03:55Where do you find the time, Mrs. Hart?
03:57In your condition?
03:58There's a name for Mrs. Hart's condition.
04:01Tireless.
04:01Fact is, Mrs. Hart, I'm also in the family way.
04:04Congratulations, Mrs. Fairweather.
04:06Perhaps I could make you a skirt like mine with the drawstring waist.
04:09See?
04:09Wraps around my front like so.
04:11Well, come and see me and I'll get you measured up.
04:12See you soon.
04:19I've never had a shop assistant bring as much costume as you.
04:22It's all adding up.
04:24Three quarters for you, Mrs. Lowther.
04:27And a quarter for...
04:29Your plan.
04:31With a capital P.
04:32Capital P for baby.
04:35I'm saving.
04:36Well, you're not saving energy.
04:38I'll sit down when the baby's born.
04:40That's how it works when you're a mother, isn't it?
04:42You do nothing but rest.
04:43Well, I'm not sure that is how it works.
04:45Mrs. Barlow, I was hoping you'd be in.
04:47You're gonna love this.
05:14Oh, thank God.
05:23All safe and sound in there
05:27I'm going to keep you that way
06:11I'm going to keep you that way
06:19I'm going to keep you that way
06:51Not slack enough I hope Mrs Hart
06:53Lunch
06:53Don't worry though
06:55I've not stopped working
06:55I don't forbid
07:04Closing for the day already
07:06She's never open
07:11I think you'll be very pleased with what I've got for you today
07:15The new silks are perfect
07:18And to you, only three and six a yard
07:20Shane, I'm only paying you two and six then
07:22Three shillings
07:23Two and nine
07:26Oh, you're a tyrant
07:32Are those pin marks on those fingers?
07:34Mrs Hart, how long have you been working for Joel Lowther?
07:37Six months, is it?
07:38And every minute of that you work like a dog
07:40People love to tell me to slow down
07:42But babies don't write ahead and make appointments
07:44And I am running out of time
07:46The money's not coming in quick enough
07:49Does your husband mind you working so hard?
07:53He's working too
07:54I've told you, the Navy can't spare him
07:57Well, he's missing out
07:58Is all I'd say
08:01I expect you'll miss him too
08:02Being away from home
08:04I miss me dad
08:05I'm a brother
08:07No time to miss anyone else
08:09Anyway, I'm saving up
08:10So when the baby's born
08:11I can have two months off
08:12Maybe even three
08:13If I work hard in these last few weeks
08:15It's looking like another record-breaking day
08:20Teamwork, Mr Lowther?
08:21I don't think so
08:22When I watch you selling
08:24You don't have a mind like a woman's at all
08:27Yours is more like a man's
08:30Is there a difference?
08:33You're living here now, are you?
08:35I've got work to do
08:39Is this the new cloth?
08:41Looks pricey
08:42It was supposed to be
08:44It's to replace the Fairley stuff, Mr Lowther
08:46The fact is, customers can spot it
08:48Cloth from the Fairley mill is just bad quality
08:50Rotten, some might say
08:56We've lost another cloth holder
08:57More complaints about the quality
09:01A lot of that equipment is old and tired
09:04And we can't keep asking the men to work round the clock
09:06Your usual grabers
09:07We don't pay the plebs enough money
09:09Now we're offering night-time hours
09:10Suddenly they have to be home for their tea
09:12They're not plebs
09:13They're people
09:14Who have rights and feelings
09:18Oh, Priya
09:20You're back
09:23Sorry
09:24Long day
09:26Oh, you must be tired
09:32Edwin, Priya and I were hoping that tomorrow we might get down to the real business of the week
09:37Wedding planning
09:39We should talk about churches, certainly
09:42At some stage
09:44I was hoping we might decide on a date at least while I'm here
09:47Because your father's a busy man
09:49So Bikram needs to make plans
09:53So
09:55We must get every wedding detail fixed, mustn't we, Edwin?
10:00He's preoccupied at work
10:02Good old Edwin
10:03Doing all he can to save the business
10:29Oh, thank God
10:44What the hell do you think you are?
10:47You should be ashamed of yourself
10:48You don't just stroll in here
10:50When for months you can come near her
10:51Well, sure I'm here now
10:52When I
10:54Can see she's been busy
10:59My poor name
11:01What the hell have you been playing at?
11:03Mr. R, you should know
11:04That your wife has been working tirelessly
11:06Every minute
11:09In the absence of anyone else bothering to
11:11Mr. Klinski
11:12David
11:13This is not my husband
11:15This is just a friend
11:16A dear friend
11:18Mac
11:19He barely knows my husband
11:20Oh, you'd be surprised by how little
11:25But I had no idea
11:26I'll see you at closing time
11:28After
11:30See you soon
11:40Ada
11:41Brought you these
11:45I was looking for a vase like Mother's
11:47You know, that allowed the flowers to splay out
11:50Do you remember?
11:50She always had such a way with flowers
11:55Edwin rushed off early again
11:58But work never stops at the mill
12:00Not these days
12:01I mean, Adam's barely home
12:04I mean, you know
12:05I hardly ever see him
12:07He's barely here
12:10Do you need more hot water, darling?
12:12Or anything?
12:13You know
12:14Anything to eat?
12:20Darling
12:24I wonder if maybe you ought to
12:27Get out
12:30Do you think?
12:31Just get away from this place
12:38I was wondering about Aunt Jessie's cottage
12:41By the sea
12:41Would you like that?
12:43Remember that little beach down below
12:45And the gulls
12:47And she'd love to have you
12:48I know she would
12:50You know
12:50And you may just find that
12:57Adele?
13:00Adele?
13:08Adele, please
13:17Are those Lily of the Valley?
13:21Yes
13:24Doors, aren't they?
13:25There's hundreds of them out there
13:28They do that
13:30They're invasive
13:32If left unchecked
13:34Lily of the Valley
13:35Will simply take over
13:36The whole garden
13:39You can't get rid of them
13:52Well
13:53Find that vase
14:13Oh, sorry
14:14We're
14:15Closed
14:16Your guard dog's not with you, no?
14:19Mr Kalinsky just does the deliveries
14:21He's only being kind
14:22Oh
14:22Kind, is he?
14:24As well as handsome
14:31Like you were born to work here
14:40Emma Hart
14:42Are you going to avoid looking at me
14:43For the whole rest of your life?
14:46What's going on, darling?
14:58Dad doesn't know I'm here
15:00And he mustn't
15:03I can't take trouble to his door
15:07Not after, ma'am
15:10I haven't seen him
15:13I haven't seen him
15:14How can I afford to bring up this baby by myself?
15:22Darling
15:27How the hell have you got yourself in this old mess?
15:44It was a lad back home
15:47You don't know him
15:49He let me down
15:52Then I'll thrash to live and date lads out of him
15:53No need
15:55He said he'd marry me at first
15:57Then ran away to join the Navy
16:03And this?
16:06So nobody thinks bad of me
16:10And also because I like remembering
16:12Remembering him?
16:13Remembering I won't ever again let someone make me feel the way he did
16:19Not till the day I die
16:21I'm remembering what drives me now
16:24What will drive me my whole life
16:28Revenge
16:34Emma, how are you going to look after the baby?
16:36And work?
16:38I'm making dresses
16:41And I'm good
16:42I am
16:43I get such a thrill seeing the money pile up
16:47And I've saved up for two months
16:49Which means that when the baby's born
16:50I can stop a while
16:56Did you drop something?
16:58You know I'll marry you
17:00Emma Hart
17:01And happily
17:04It'd be an honour
17:07Emma, will you marry me?
17:13You're the best man I know
17:16I'm sure to marry you would be a privilege
17:18Bird and more like
17:19Have you seen these shoulders?
17:21I could look after the both of you
17:25I know
17:27I know you would
17:30But I've got it planned
17:32I'm going to look after us myself
17:35Somehow
17:36I'm going to be a mother, Mac
17:38A mum
17:39I'm going to have a real baby
17:41Most precious thing you can have
17:43And more than anything I've ever done
17:45I want to take care of it
17:48Well I could have at least
17:49And I
17:50Mac
17:52You have the biggest heart I know
17:56It's bursting
17:56Which is why I want you to be able to give that heart to someone you love
17:59For real
18:01Not just a girl you feel sorry for
18:03Ah, Emma, but
18:04The answer's no
18:07It's a no with the biggest thank you in the world
18:20You might want to
18:22Get under that seat with the
18:24Sweeping brush
18:25The dust is shocking
18:38Good morning
18:46Let's go.
19:12Let me rent next door.
19:13Let me rent it from you and open a dress shop.
19:16My own shop filled with dresses made by me.
19:18Give me one reason why not.
19:20Oh, you only want one.
19:22Well, which reason do you want?
19:24That you've no experience running a shop?
19:26That you've no experience running a business of any kind?
19:29That you're barely 19?
19:30That you're pregnant?
19:32Mr Lowther, the answer to all of them is the same.
19:34I can do it.
19:35Mrs Hart, that's fanciful at best.
19:37Two people are filled in that shop this year.
19:39Two inefficient people?
19:40Mrs Cleveland, her stock was shoddy and too expensive for its quality.
19:43She didn't know her customers.
19:45I do.
19:46I know what kind of clothes they like.
19:47And I'm good.
19:48You know I am.
19:50And you said it yourself.
19:51I'm a grafter.
19:51I can sell.
19:52Which is why I can't afford to lose you from my shop.
19:55You wouldn't be losing me.
19:56We'll drive business to each other.
19:58Right now, when people come in, all they see is rolls of cloth.
20:01With my dress shop next door, you'll have a showroom for what that cloth can become.
20:04Double your profits in a month.
20:06Treble them, probably.
20:07Plus, I'll be your best customer.
20:09Every dress that I sell, I'll be buying the cloth from you.
20:11And the shop's empty, Mr Lowther.
20:13Gathering dust.
20:14I can take it off your hands today.
20:16Now.
20:17This minute.
20:18So you don't lose a moment's rent.
20:19Mrs Hart, you forget I know your circumstances.
20:22You live in my upstairs room.
20:24The deposit on that shop is sky high.
20:39I have enough in here for your deposit.
20:42And because I know you're nervous about me, which you won't be the moment you see the profits I bring
20:45in.
20:46I know you usually ask for four weeks' rent in advance.
20:49But I have enough in here for eight.
20:52It's all in here.
20:55Take it.
20:57Mrs Hart, do I need to remind you?
21:01You're having a baby.
21:03That's the maid to take care of.
21:05And it's why I'm absolutely certain that this is right.
21:45And it's why I'm so excited.
21:45I'm so excited.
21:46I'm so excited.
22:18Oh, I'm sorry.
22:19No, it's fine. I was just...
22:20I was just walking home.
22:21You're allowed to walk where you like.
22:26Nice aim. You got there?
22:27I've sat through three days now of your aunt talking about bridal bouquets
22:31and of you and your father shouting at each other about looms.
22:34I had some steam to let off.
22:43Oh!
22:45OK, let's see.
22:48Not bad, not bad.
22:49Not bad.
22:52Terrible.
22:54Dreadful.
22:57Well, they'll be wondering about dinner.
22:59Yes.
23:04You know, when you asked me to marry you, I thought we had a connection.
23:09That you were optimistic like me.
23:12You seemed starry-eyed.
23:15And I wasn't sure if we made each other's hearts soar.
23:17Not in the way people talk about hearts soaring in books.
23:21You probably don't read those kind of books.
23:23Not really.
23:25But you know the concept of hearts soaring?
23:31Yes.
23:32Anyway, I just wanted to say, not everyone gets that.
23:37The hearts soaring.
23:39That's not what life is, I don't think.
23:42But recently, the stars have left those eyes of yours, and...
23:47I know this engagement pleases your father, and he's not an easy man to please, but...
23:53We could just walk away?
23:59There's a lot to be said for pleasing people.
24:04And not just parents.
24:07Priya...
24:09I wouldn't have asked you.
24:12I wouldn't have considered it if I had intended...
24:18Somehow...
24:19To do my very best to please you.
24:20Do.
24:23Well, let me know, will you?
24:27When the trying to please me starts.
24:53Mother.
24:55How are you?
24:58I suppose I...
25:00Wanted to see you.
25:03If you don't mind.
25:17Because everything just feels a bit...
25:20Wrong somehow.
25:23Priya's a sweet girl in many ways.
25:25Where is your father?
25:26Father.
25:30He never comes to me.
25:32Your father never comes anywhere near me.
25:34Where is he?
25:37He's...
25:37Not back yet.
25:39I don't know.
25:40He's been busy at the mill.
25:41We only have...
25:41But does he not know that I'm here, Edwin?
25:45And I'm not nobody.
25:49I'm not nobody.
25:50I'm not nobody.
25:55But take your hands off me.
26:03Stop it!
26:08Get out!
26:11Sorry.
26:12Sorry.
26:25Get out!
26:27Get out!
26:29Get out!
26:32Get out!
26:32Let him 사ge!
26:36Go!
26:38Yeah!
26:39Go!
26:44Get out!
26:48Go!
26:53It's so good.
26:57Shelves here, rails of dresses here and here,
27:00and a fitting area here.
27:02And also a range of elasticated skirts for a pregnant woman.
27:05And a chair for them, but also for people like you.
27:09Men folk.
27:11And there'll be a fire. The shop will always be warm.
27:14And you'll pay to heat it, will you?
27:15Yes, and it'll be worth it, because people will want to come.
27:19And every customer will be greeted by name.
27:20And Emma.
27:23In a few weeks' time, the baby.
27:27I'll manage.
27:27Good night.
27:27Let's go.
28:08Let's go.
28:51Let's go.
28:54Let's go.
28:55Let's go.
29:00What's happening?
29:01It overheated.
29:03It's empty.
29:04No one in there.
29:07Who's in there?
29:08Who?
29:08My brother.
29:10Edwin.
29:11Edwin went too.
29:12That's the right way!
29:13What's going on?
29:23We can do this.
29:26We can do this.
29:28Can't we?
29:30Can't we?
29:31Of course we can.
29:34I'm here.
29:36We're alone.
29:37We can do it together.
29:40We can do it.
29:48Boo!
29:53Boo!
29:55Boo!
29:56Boo!
29:56Boo!
29:57Boo!
29:59Boo!
30:04Boo!
30:05Help me!
30:11Mom!
30:21Mom!
30:54Oh, my God.
31:05Edwin!
31:23Emma Harris.
31:33Is there nothing?
31:35In the whole world, you can't do it.
31:38Oh, my God.
31:45Oh, my God.
32:03Mother loved to say I spent my christening pulling faces at the vicar.
32:10This is how Mom must have felt about me.
32:13She'd be so sad there's no christening now.
32:17Vickers don't look kindly on mothers like me.
32:22Who needs a church or a font?
32:29Now, what are you naming her?
32:31Because my vore and Ian, lucky you, the decision's all yours.
32:35On account of her father.
32:38Your local lad being off on his boat.
32:43Edwina is a name.
33:00Well, what an elegant name.
33:03Edwina Shane Hart.
33:26In the name of God.
33:29The father, the son, and the Holy Ghost.
33:35May you be healthy, wealthy, and wise.
33:40No sense hadn't beautiful.
33:42Because look at her mother.
33:49She didn't even cry.
33:55So, what has she got to cry about?
34:00What are you going to say when the registrar asks for her father's name?
34:07Unknown.
34:09Emma, don't go making her unknown.
34:13Don't give her that.
34:17Put me.
34:21Mac, it's such a responsibility.
34:24And now, do I have to be telling you again about these shoulders?
34:39Well, darling, how do you feel?
34:46See?
34:48Almost.
34:50I'm beginning to feel me and Edwina might be safe.
34:55Sure, if that little girl's not the luckiest in the world.
35:00No one in my family's going to suffer.
35:02Not ever again.
35:03No one in my family's pregnancy.
35:04Whatever.
35:09Yeah.
35:21Ah, ah, ah.
35:24No one in my family's mental right now.
35:35I don't know.
36:28Do you mind, darling?
36:34Stay, Olivia.
36:36Please.
36:43I will stay in this house while my son needs me.
36:47Then, the moment Edwin's well, I need to be too.
36:52I need to leave.
36:53Please.
37:07My darling, I've not been the mother you deserve.
37:15And I'm so sorry.
37:19But I promise I will put this right.
37:24I promise you.
37:39It's all right.
37:40I'm coming.
37:42I just need...
37:45I'm coming.
37:47Come on.
38:17Come on.
38:58You're my baby girl.
39:01Yes, you are.
39:04And Edwina, you are so loved.
39:06So loved.
39:09And I won't let anything happen to you.
39:13I'll take care of you.
39:17And you will have the best of everything.
39:22I promise you.
39:25You know, those Fairleys turned their back on us.
39:29Because they think they're better than us, that's what they think.
39:33And if it takes my whole life, all of my energy and everything I've got, I'm going to prove to
39:38them that they're wrong.
39:44I will keep you safe.
39:48And if I have to make sacrifices, give a few things up, then I will do.
39:54If it means you're taken care of, I'll sacrifice anything in the world.
39:58I will.
40:01I will.
40:30I will.
40:34And if it means you're taken care of, that means you're taken care of.
40:38I won't let anything.
40:39I will.
40:42I will.
40:45I will.
40:46I...
41:09Eliza bagged by the door with all her necessaries.
41:12She's had a good sleep.
41:14Two bottles already.
41:15Three.
41:16This morning.
41:18So she's good at taking bottles.
41:21And I've put a letter in there for cousin Frieda thanking her.
41:26And I put in some lists, songs Edwina likes, and so on.
41:31Because Frieda might not know what kind of song she likes.
41:38You're sure about this, my Vorneen?
41:43You're... certain?
41:45Sacrifices must be made.
41:47If that means we have to be apart while I get this up and running.
41:51And this is all for her.
41:54One day Edwina will thank me for this.
41:56She will.
41:58Because Frieda's the motherly sort.
42:02Will you tell her I'll visit next weekend?
42:04And after that every other Sunday?
42:07And I'll send money of course.
42:10And will you tell her?
42:13And will you tell her?
42:14Emma...
42:14Tell her I have to do it.
42:16Please.
42:18Will you make sure she understands that?
42:21Tell her there's no choice.
42:23Ah, darling.
42:24As soon as I get back on my feet.
42:27And I can look after her properly.
42:29I'll bring her back to me.
42:31And I'll just take her.
42:33Please just take her.
42:40Emma.
42:42God knows you're doing all of this for this child.
42:45I don't know about him.
42:46But I just hope Edwina knows.
42:48Will you please just go?
42:52Just go, please.
43:46All for me.
43:49All of this has been for your family.
43:51Well I'm sorry to tell you mummy.
43:52but it's felt an awful lot
43:54from where I've been sitting
43:56as though you've done it all for you
43:57and where have you been sitting Edwina
44:00on which cushioned seats
44:02on which velvet chaise long
44:04and at which polished table
44:06have you spent your entire life sitting
44:08would we have starved to death do you think
44:10if you'd worked less and been at home more
44:12or would we have eaten just less costly brie
44:15I am struggling
44:17not to feel ashamed
44:25if you have ever been in any doubt
44:29that I love you Edwina
44:32with all my heart
44:34all of it
44:35or is there just a little bit of that heart that resents me
44:39resents all of us
44:40for not being you
44:41oh we can't compete on the suffering front
44:44of course
44:45dry bread, holes in your shoes
44:47and if only your mother could have afforded a paracetamol or two
44:49she might have lived
44:54and there it is
44:57now
44:58I feel ashamed
44:59I'm not your only rebel child
45:01but because I'm the first born
45:03the first palmed off on a relative
45:05the first lied to about her father
45:11so what's next in your bold new world of skullduggery and initiative Edwina
45:17well I shall call my anarchic siblings
45:19to tell them you fumbled it
45:21no
45:22to tell them that the plan may no longer be secret
45:24but that nothing has changed
45:26we continue
45:31and then who will you have
45:35I shall have Paula
