Short filmTranscript
00:22The Countess is here to see you, Mrs Hart.
00:25Mummy, what a dreadful week for you.
00:28I just can't bear it.
00:30I said to the florist, your absolute best bouquet, though no roses.
00:33And the girl knew immediately they must be for you.
00:35How about that?
00:36Oh, those wretched papers.
00:38I was so pleased when you suggested lunch.
00:40Are you surviving?
00:41When have you known me not to?
00:43Hello, darling.
00:44I put Patsy's for 1.30.
00:45Will that do?
00:46Janet, I swear she saw Sinatra there only last Tuesday.
00:48My favourite thing to say is that she's done it all for her family,
00:50which is ludicrous, of course,
00:52for a woman who's spent every moment of her adult life avoiding her family
00:56and making grand speeches about bloody revenge.
00:59She's pathetic.
01:01There's a downside, of course,
01:03to making certain one's children never want for anything at all.
01:07And that's being forced to watch them stroll through life,
01:11taking everything in their path for granted.
01:13Mummy, I'm so sorry.
01:14What would you like to explain first, my love?
01:17Your detailed expose to the press of my confidential medical records?
01:21Or your use, too, Mr. Fairley, of the word harridan?
01:26I can explain.
01:27Well, I'd love to hear it, darling.
01:31Truly, I'd love to understand.
01:34Because everything I've ever done has been for my family.
01:54Oh, no.
01:56Oh, no!
01:57Oh, no!
02:09Time sheets, Mr. Fowler.
02:11Thanks.
02:13It is all, well, at home.
02:21What about it?
02:22I know some of the staff at the hall were wondering if Emma might have been in touch with any
02:27news
02:28around now.
02:33It's been months since we took her.
02:36It's been six months.
02:39Six and a half.
02:44She sends money every month.
02:47Post-mort leads.
02:48She's got a good head on her shoulders, Mr. Fowler.
02:51She gets on weight.
02:53No address, no news.
02:55No one has to worry.
02:57Anyway, it's all congratulations are in order for your engagement.
03:04Have a later shift to keep awake.
03:20Hey, someone help?
03:22Are you too worried?
03:24All right.
03:37Now, Mrs. Fairweather, I've been up all night finishing this dress just for you.
03:43So I believe this will be exactly what you're after.
03:45Where do you find the time, Mrs. Hart, in your condition?
03:48There's a name for Mrs. Hart's condition. Tireless.
03:51The fact is, Mrs. Hart, I'm also in the family way.
03:54Congratulations, Mrs. Fairweather.
03:56Perhaps I could make you a skirt like mine with the drawstring waist.
03:58See? Wraps around my front like so.
04:00Well, come and see me and I'll get you measured up. See you soon.
04:08I've never had a shop assistant bring as much costume as you.
04:11It's all adding up.
04:12Three quarters for you, Mr. Lowther.
04:16And a quarter for...
04:18Your plan? With a capital P?
04:20Capital B for baby.
04:23I'm saving.
04:24Well, you're not saving energy.
04:26I'll sit down when the baby's born.
04:27That's how it works when you're a mother, isn't it?
04:29You do nothing but rest.
04:31Well, I'm not sure that is how it works.
04:33Mrs. Barlow, I was hoping you'd be in.
04:35You've got to love this.
05:02Thank God.
05:08All safe and sound in there.
05:12I'm going to keep you that way.
05:22I'm going to keep you that way.
05:37I'm going to keep you that way.
06:00Oh, God.
06:15All right in there? Having a little play?
06:28Walk along.
06:32Not slacking up, I hope, Mrs Hart?
06:34Lunch. Don't worry, though, we've not stopped working.
06:37I can forbid.
06:45Closing for the jail already? She's never opened.
06:52I think you'd be very pleased with what I've got for you today.
06:56The new silks are perfect.
06:58And to you, only three and six a yard.
07:01Sharon will only pay you two and six, then.
07:03Three shillings.
07:04Two and nine.
07:06Oh, you're a tyrant.
07:12Are those pin marks on those fingers?
07:14Mrs Hart, how long have you been working for Joel Elder?
07:16Six months, is it?
07:17And every minute of that you've worked like a dog.
07:19Look, people love to tell me to slow down, but babies don't write ahead and make appointments.
07:23And I am running out of time.
07:25The money's not coming in quick enough.
07:28Does your husband mind you working so hard?
07:31He's working too. I've told you the Navy can't spare him.
07:35Well, he's missing out, is all I'd say.
07:39I expect you'll miss him too, being away from home.
07:42I miss my dad and my brother.
07:45No time to miss anyone else.
07:47Anyway, I'm saving up so when the baby's born I can have two months off.
07:50Maybe even three, if I work hard in these last few weeks.
07:53It's looking like another record-breaking day.
07:57Teamwork, Mr Lowther?
07:59I don't think so.
08:00When I watch you selling, you don't have a mind like a woman's at all.
08:05Yours is more like a man's.
08:07Is there a difference?
08:10You're living here now, are you?
08:11I've got work to do.
08:16Is this the new cloth?
08:17Looks pricey.
08:18It was supposed to be.
08:20Is to replace the Fairley stuff, Mr Lowther.
08:22The fact is, customers can spot it.
08:24Cloth from the Fairley mill is just bad quality.
08:26Rotten, some might say.
08:31We've lost another cloth, Aldrin.
08:33More complaints about the quality.
08:36A lot of that equipment is old and tired.
08:39And we can't keep asking the men to work around the clock.
08:42Your usual grabers who don't pay the plebs enough money.
08:44Now we're offering night-time hours, suddenly they have to be home for their tea.
08:47They're not plebs. They're people.
08:49Who have rights and feelings.
08:53Priya!
08:54You're back!
08:58Sorry. Long day.
09:01You must be tired.
09:06Edwin, Priya and I were hoping that tomorrow we might get down to the real business of the week.
09:10Wedding planning.
09:12We should talk about churches, certainly.
09:16It's summer's date.
09:17I was hoping we might decide on a date, at least, while I'm here.
09:20Hm.
09:21Because your father's a busy man.
09:22Silvery Crone needs to make plans.
09:26So...
09:28We must get every wedding detail fixed, mustn't we, Edwin?
09:32He's preoccupied at work.
09:34Hm.
09:35Good old Edwin.
09:36Doing all he can to save the business.
09:38No.
09:51No.
09:52No.
09:54No.
09:54No.
09:54I don't know what's going on there.
09:55No.
10:00No.
10:02No.
10:04No.
10:06No.
10:07No.
10:07No.

12:41Are those Lily of the Valley?
12:44Yes.
12:47Dorious, aren't they?
12:48There's hundreds of them out there.
12:50They do that.
12:53They're invasive.
12:54If left unchecked.
12:57Lily of the Valley will simply take over the whole garden.
13:01You can't get rid of them.
13:13Well, find that bars.
13:34Oh, sorry, we're closed.
13:37Your guard dog not with you, no?
13:39Mr Kalinske just does the deliveries.
13:41He's only being kind.
13:42Oh, kind, is he?
13:44As well as handsome.
13:50Like you were born to work here.
13:59Emma Hart, are you going to avoid looking at me for the whole rest of your life?
14:05What's going on, darling?
14:16Dad doesn't know I'm here.
14:19And he mustn't.
14:21I can't take trouble to his door.
14:22What?
14:25Not after, ma'am.
14:28I haven't seen him.
14:30I haven't seen him often.
14:33How can I afford to bring up this baby by myself?
14:39Fine.
14:44How the hell have you got yourself in this old mess?
14:59It was a lad back home.
15:03You don't know him.
15:05He let me down.
15:07Then I'll thrash the living day, that's horrible.
15:09No need.
15:11He said he'd marry me at first and ran away to join the Navy.
15:18And this?
15:21So nobody thinks bad of me.
15:25And also because I like remembering.
15:27Remembering him?
15:28Remembering I won't ever again let someone make me feel the way he did.
15:33Not till the day I die.
15:36And remembering what drives me now.
15:39What'll drive me my whole life.
15:42Revenge.
15:47Emma, how are you gonna look after the baby?
15:50And work?
15:52I'm making dresses.
15:54And I'm good.
15:56I am.
15:57I get such a thrill to see the money pile up.
16:00I've saved up for two months, which means that when the baby's born I can stop a while.
16:08Did you drop something?
16:10You know I'll marry you.
16:13Emma Hart.
16:14And happily.
16:16It'd be an honour.
16:19Emma, will you marry me?
16:25You're the best man I know.
16:28I'm sure to marry you would be a privilege.
16:30A burden more like.
16:31Have you seen these shoulders?
16:33I could look after the both of you.
16:36I know.
16:38I know you would.
16:41But I've got it planned.
16:43I'm going to look after us myself.
16:46Somehow.
16:47I'm going to be a mother, Mac.
16:49A mum.
16:50I'm going to have a real baby.
16:52The most precious thing you can have.
16:54And more than anything I've ever done, I want to take care of it.
16:58Well, I could have at least, and I-
17:00Mac.
17:02You have the biggest heart I know.
17:05It's bursting.
17:07Which is why I want you to be able to give that heart to someone you love.
17:09For real.
17:11Not just a girl you feel sorry for.
17:13Ah, Emma, but-
17:14The answer's no.
17:16That it's a no with the biggest thank you in the world.
17:28You might want to-
17:30Get under that seat with the-
17:33Sweeping brush the-
17:35Dust is shocking.
17:48Keep standing.
17:49That's what I see.
17:50Let's dive a little.
17:59Get here.
18:04Word, dude.
18:06Word.
18:07So, listen.
18:08Start tort.
18:09C'est Bazelé semif unconcaret,
18:18Let me rent next door
18:20Let me rent it from you and open a dress shop
18:21My own shop filled with dresses made by me
18:24Give me one reason why not
18:26Oh, you only want one
18:27Well, which reason do you want?
18:29That you've no experience running a shop
18:31That you've no experience running a business of any kind
18:34That you're barely 19
18:35That you're pregnant
18:37Mr Lowther, the aunt's 12 and it's the same
18:39I can do it
18:40Mrs Hart, that's fanciful at best
18:42Two people are filled in that shop this year
18:44Two inefficient people
18:45Mrs Cleveland, her stock was shoddy and too expensive for its quality
18:48She didn't know her customers
18:49I do, I know what kind of clothes they like
18:52And I'm good, you know I am
18:54And you said it yourself, I'm a grafter, I can sell
18:56Which is why I can't afford to lose you from my shop
18:59You wouldn't be losing me
19:00We'll drive business to each other
19:01Right now, when people come in, all they see is rolls of cloth
19:04With my dress shop next door, you'll have a showroom for what that cloth can become
19:08Double your profits in a month, treble them probably
19:10Plus, I'll be your best customer
19:12Every dress that I sell, I'll be buying the cloth from you
19:14And the shop's empty, Mr Lowther
19:16Gathering dust
19:18I can take it off your hands today
19:19Now, this minute
19:21So you don't lose a moment's rent
19:22Mrs Hart, you forget I know your circumstances
19:25You live in my upstairs room
19:27The deposit on that shop is sky high
19:41I have enough in here for your deposit
19:44And because I know you're nervous about me
19:45Which you won't be the moment you see the profits I bring in
19:48I know you usually ask for four weeks' rent in advance
19:51But I have enough in here for eight
19:54It's all in here
19:57Take it
19:58Mrs Hart
20:00Do I need to remind you
20:02You're having a baby
20:03That's me to take care of
20:06And it's why I'm absolutely certain that this is right
20:08But I'll take care of
20:28So you're having a baby
20:29I walk away
20:29The habit of me
20:29I walk away
20:32So you're there
21:15Oh, I'm sorry.
21:16No, it's fine. I was just...
21:17I was just walking home.
21:18You're allowed to walk where you like.
21:23Nice aim. You got there?
21:24I've sat through three days now of your aunt talking about bridal bouquets and of you and your father shouting
21:29at each other about looms.
21:31I had some steam to let off.
21:39Oh!
21:41Okay, let's see.
21:44Not bad, not bad.
21:45Not bad.
21:48Terrible.
21:50Dreadful.
21:52Well, they'll be wondering about dinner.
21:55Yes.
21:59You know, when you asked me to marry you, I thought we had a connection.
22:04That you were optimistic, like me.
22:07You seemed starry-eyed.
22:10And I wasn't sure if we made each other's hearts sore.
22:12Not too many people talk about hearts soaring in books.
22:15You probably don't read those kind of books.
22:18Not really.
22:20But you know the concept of hearts soaring?
22:25Yes.
22:26Anyway, I just wanted to say, not everyone gets that.
22:30The hearts soaring.
22:32That's not what life is, I don't think.
22:35But recently, stars have left those eyes of yours.
22:38And I know this engagement pleases your father, and he's not an easy man to please.
22:43But we could just walk away.
22:52There's a lot to be said for pleasing people.
22:56And not just parents.
23:00Priya, I wouldn't have asked you.
23:04I wouldn't have considered it if I had intended, somehow, to do my very best to please you, too.
23:15Well, let me know, will you?
23:18When the trying to please me starts.
23:43Mother, how are you?
23:48I suppose I wanted to see you.
23:53If you don't mind.
24:06Because everything just feels a bit...
24:09wrong, somehow.
24:12Priya's a sweet girl in many ways.
24:14Where is your father?
24:18He never comes to me.
24:20Your father never comes anywhere near me.
24:22Where is he?
24:25He's not back yet.
24:27I don't know.
24:28He's been busy at the mill.
24:29But does he not know that I'm here, Edwin?
24:33And I'm not nobody.
24:37I'm not nobody.
24:40I'm not nobody.
24:42But take your hands.
24:51Stop it!
24:53Get out!
24:57Sorry.
24:58Sorry.
25:01Sorry.
25:01I love you.
25:16I think.
25:41Shelves here, rails of dresses here and here, and a fitting area here, and also a range
25:47of elasticated skirts for pregnant women, and a chair for them, but also for people like
25:51you.
25:53Men folk.
25:55And there'll be a fire.
25:56The shop will always be warm.
25:57And you'll pair to heat it, will you?
25:59Yes, and it'll be worth it.
26:00Because people will want to come.
26:01And every customer will be greeted by name.
26:03And Emma.
26:06In a few weeks' time, the baby.
26:09I'll manage.
26:49Fire!
26:51Fire!
26:53Fire!
26:53Fire!
27:13Oh
27:26Oh, God.
27:38What's happened?
27:39It overheated.
27:41We sent you.
27:42No one in there.
27:45Who's in there?
27:46Who?
27:46My brother.
27:48Edwin.
27:48Edwin went through.
27:50That's the red one!
28:00Oh, we can do this.
28:03Oh, we can do this.
28:05Can't we?
28:06Can't we?
28:08Of course we can.
28:10I'm here.
28:12We're alone.
28:14We can do it together.
28:20Oh, God.
28:25Oh, God.
28:26Oh, God.
28:47Oh, my God.
29:25Oh, my God.
29:28Oh, my God.
29:59Oh, my God.
30:04Is there nothing in the whole world you've got to?
30:10Oh, my God.
30:15Oh, my God.
30:33Oh, my God.
30:37Oh, my God.
31:02Oh, my God.
31:07Oh, my God.
31:28Oh, my God.
31:29Oh, my God.
31:30Oh, my God.
31:30Oh, my God.
31:48Oh, my God.
31:53Oh, my God.
31:53In the name of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, may you be healthy, wealthy, and wise.
32:05No sense of that and beautiful
32:07Because look at her mother
32:14She didn't even cry
32:19So what has she got to cry about?
32:24What are you going to say when the registrar asks for her father's name?
32:31When no
32:32Ah, Emma
32:34Don't go making her unknown
32:36Don't give her that
32:40But me
32:43Mac
32:45It's such a responsibility
32:46And how do I have to be telling you again about these shoulders?
33:01Well
33:02Darling
33:03How do you feel?
33:08Safe
33:10Almost
33:12I'm beginning to feel me and Edwina might be safe
33:16Sure if that little girl is not the luckiest in the world
33:21No one in my family is going to suffer
33:23Not ever again
33:25I'meki
33:54I'myers
33:54I'm going to blame you and Mary
33:54I'm going to lack me of knowing which he is doing
33:54I don't know.
34:44Do you mind, darling?
34:50Stay, Olivia.
34:52Please.
35:00I will stay in this house while my son needs me.
35:03Then, the moment Edwin's well, I need to be too.
35:08I need to leave.
35:22My darling, I've not been the mother you deserve, and I'm so sorry.
35:33But I promise I will put this right.
35:38I promise you.
36:08It's all right.
36:09I'm so sorry.
36:30I'm so sorry.
36:33I'm so sorry.
36:45I'm so sorry.
37:01I'm so sorry.
37:03I'm so sorry.
37:07You're my baby girl.
37:11Yes, you are.
37:13And Edwina, you are so loved.
37:16So loved.
37:18And I won't let anything happen to you.
37:22I'll take care of you.
37:26And you will have the best of everything.
37:30I promise you.
37:34You know, those fairies turn their back on us.
37:37Because they think they're better than us.
37:39That's what they think.
37:41And if it takes my whole life, all of my energy, and everything I've got, I'm going to prove to
37:46them that they're wrong.
37:51I will keep you safe.
37:56And if I have to make sacrifices, give a few things up, then I will do.
38:01If it means you're taken care of, I'll sacrifice anything in the world, I will.
38:30If it means you're taken care of, I will.
38:39If it means you're done.
38:45If it means you're taken care of, I will.
38:50If it means you're done.
39:13Well, there's a bag by the door with all her necessaries.
39:16She's had a good sleep, and two bottles already, this morning.
39:21So she's good at taking bottles.
39:24And I've put a letter in there for Cousin Frieda, thanking her.
39:29And I've put in some lists, songs Edwina Lacks sung and so on,
39:33because Frieda might not know what kind of song she likes.
39:40I'm sure about this, before I need.
39:45You're certain?
39:46Sacrifices must be made.
39:49If that means we have to be apart while I get this up and running.
39:53And this is all for her.
39:55One day Edwina will thank me for this.
39:57She will.
40:00Cousin Frieda's the motherly sort.
40:03Will you tell her I'll visit next weekend?
40:05And after that, every other Sunday?
40:08And I'll send money, of course.
40:11And will you tell her?
40:13Emma.
40:14Tell her I have to do it.
40:17Please.
40:18Will you make sure she understands that?
40:21Tell her there's no choice.
40:23Darn it.
40:24As soon as I get back on my feet,
40:27and I can look after her properly,
40:29I'll bring her back to me.
40:31Now just take her.
40:32Please, just take her.
40:39Emma.
40:41God knows you're doing all of this for this child.
40:44I don't know about him, but I just hope Edwina knows.
40:46And will you please just go?
40:51Just go, please.
40:53Please.
40:53Oh, oh.
40:56Oh.
41:24No!
41:43All for me?
41:45All of this has been for your family?
41:47Well, I'm sorry to tell you, Mummy,
41:48but it's felt an awful lot
41:50from where I've been sitting
41:51as though you've done it all for you.
41:53And where have you been sitting, Edwina?
41:55On which cushioned seats,
41:57on which velvet chaise long,
41:59and at which polished table
42:01have you spent your entire life sitting?
42:03Would we have starved to death, do you think?
42:05If you worked less and been at home more,
42:07or would we have eaten just less costly brie?
42:10I am struggling not to feel ashamed.
42:19If you have ever been in any doubt
42:23that I love you, Edwina,
42:26with all my heart...
42:28All of it.
42:29Or is there just a little bit of that heart
42:31that resents me?
42:33Resents all of us for not being you?
42:35Oh, we can't compete
42:36on the suffering front, of course.
42:38Dry bread, holes in your shoes,
42:40and if only your mother could have afforded
42:42a paracetamol or two,
42:42she might have lived!
42:46And here it is.
42:50Now, I feel ashamed.
42:52I'm not your only rebel child,
42:54but because I'm the first born,
42:56the first palmed off on a relative,
42:58the first lied to about her father.
43:03So what's next in your bold new world
43:06of skullduggery and initiative, Edwina?
43:09Well, I shall call my anarchic siblings...
43:11To tell them you fumbled it?
43:13To tell them that the plan
43:14may no longer be secret,
43:15that nothing has changed.
43:18We continue.
43:22And then who will you have?
43:26I shall have Paula.
43:44Paula!
43:47Paula!
43:51Paula!
44:01Is that you, Fairley?
44:03Yes, Mrs. Hart.
44:03He came in to collect the paperwork for the reopening of his magazine.
