02:21I'm Emma Hart
02:32you're welcome
02:33don't you know?
02:34I'm an almighty man
02:36I'm an almighty man
02:39I'm a rock
02:42oh my God
02:47I'm in your community
02:49I'm a young man
02:53I'm a young man
02:53oh my God
03:15Merry Christmas!
03:26Hello. Nice to see you again.
03:29Mr Kalinsky, do we have any Turkish delight left?
03:31Oh, I don't imagine so. There's been such a run on it from all the big houses on the hill.
03:35You wouldn't believe how popular it's been. The fancy housekeepers have taken two boxes.
03:40But might we find one for Mrs Easton, do you suppose?
03:50So is this. Well then, I'd better take both.
03:55Oh, and you'd be wise to add a tin of pork and one more jar of applesauce, I think.
03:59Thank you. You're welcome.
04:03Good evening.
04:06Emma, it's Christmas Eve. Imagine there are stockings that need hanging, trees that need decking.
04:12Tell Edwina I've put one extra sugar mouse in your basket just for her, so she is not to share.
04:19I can close up. You get going.
04:24Oh, I have an ulterior motive. I'm planning to steal cheese.
04:27Take whatever you can carry. And I mean it. I know your family's probably finished celebrating now that Hanukkah's over.
04:33But we'd love you and Flora to join us tomorrow.
04:35Joe's complaining he can't see kitchen surfaces for food.
04:39Now Frank can't come. Too busy working for his exams.
04:42And Mac's been goodness knows where for once.
04:45Mac always has a mystery girl at a party in every town. Both mainly.
04:49So no, no one's coming. Which means there'll be plenty of room for you both if-
04:53Emma, I don't. I've been happy to help out here over the last couple of years, but I can't just
05:01pretend to be a regular friend of your family. I can't.
05:05Merry Christmas, David.
05:10Merry Christmas, David.
05:11I don't know.
05:45I think they're here, sir. I just, um, I didn't... I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll leave...
05:51No, don't. Oh, yeah. Please. Stay.
06:01I don't come in here often.
06:05I quite understand how occasionally it could be helpful to...
06:11She's everywhere.
06:17There's wretched potions of hers.
06:22Always mysterious.
06:25It's difficult this week, particularly.
06:29She loved Christmas.
06:30Yes. Yes.
06:36Oh, no.
06:38Sit down.
06:40It's all right.
06:41Sit.
06:49There's so many different versions of her on every wall.
06:53She loved it.
06:57I can't bear one mirror most days.
07:01Yet you are more beautiful every minute.
07:25Sit down.
07:27They'll be wandering where...
07:29We should...
07:32We should...
07:34We should...
07:36We should...
08:00Welcome. You made it. It's been an oed since you visited.
08:04I want Olivia.
08:05Oh, I love your earrings, Olivia.
08:07Thank you. Happy Christmas.
08:09You're here.
08:11Good.
08:12It's just me and the happy couples.
08:17Standards thriving, I hear. I've had nothing but good reports.
08:20Hard week, was it? At the forefront of world news.
08:24Festive joy at armly Christmas fate.
08:27This is what sells.
08:29Well, I'm glad someone finally worked at what does.
08:32The newspaper's been a liability for us for years, but you've made it pay.
08:36I thought the plan was, when you took over the paper, that it would be nothing but
08:39hard-hitting journalism.
08:40I'm saving my stirring editorials about germ defense spending for January.
08:48Dinner time.
08:49And drinks, perhaps?
08:50Yes, please.
08:51Drinks plural.
08:53Oh, I meant some kind of parlor game.
08:55Father wants to play a jolly game, Aunt Olivia.
08:57What do you think?
08:58Happy families?
08:59Wink murder?
09:00Jowls.
09:03Leave him.
09:06I'm going out.
09:14It's Christmas Eve.
09:15Does the casino never close?
09:17Listen, have you got any cash?
09:20None for you to lose.
09:22I thought the mill was back on an even keel.
09:28Since Marlboro, hasn't it felt like being underwater?
09:38Yes.
09:41Are you getting yourself into trouble, right?
09:44Christ.
09:45The interest these lone people charge open.
09:47They're villains.
09:49Hamilton Equitable, they call themselves.
09:51Now, they're threatening me with demands for repayment.
09:55My father mustn't know.
09:56But I've all but promised them my firstborn.
10:02My boxing day.
10:06But tonight I have a sure thing.
10:07I can make it all back.
10:08And more.
10:10Please.
10:12That paper is such a financial triumph.
10:17Please.
10:30This is a job.
10:31This is a job.
10:52I'm Barry, I'm Barry.
11:12Look at this pretty one, Daddy.
11:14That is lovely.
11:16Right, where can we put this one?
11:18There?
11:18Or higher?
11:20Higher, higher.
11:21Higher, you say?
11:22Well, look at this.
11:23Goodness.
11:24Oh, here you are, at last.
11:26You must be exhausted.
11:28Now, where's my favourite girl?
11:29No, down, down, no!
11:33Let's get another one.
11:35Oh, you've already hung the stockings.
11:38Edwina wanted to do them before her baby brother went to bed.
11:41Of course.
11:43And she's been working so hard.
11:47Just like her mum.
11:49Well, the tree looks beautiful.
11:52You've an eye for it, love.
11:54But there's a gap here, look.
11:57Can we just move this bobble?
11:58No, I want it there, no!
12:01We had found just the right spot for it, haven't we, sweetheart?
12:05Pleasure girl.
12:06It's perfect just where you put it.
12:07What about this one, Daddy?
12:09Right, where shall we put that?
12:12Up there?
12:12Okay.
12:14Try.
12:16Okay, try.
12:18Okay, try.
12:21Okay, try.
12:22All right.
12:23Come on.
12:26Come on.
12:28Come on.
12:29Come on.
12:50Safely tucked up?
12:51On her back.
12:52Mouth open.
12:53Kit's got his blanket.
12:56We have a pack today, sold all of the fresh stuff.
12:59Just a load of beef and potato pies left in the stockroom I need to shift.
13:07Joe, have you thought any more about the shops?
13:09Hmm?
13:11Hardly allowed to these days, am I?
13:13You're welcome to be as involved as you like in the shops.
13:16Am I?
13:17And what about your other businesses, the ones that I'm not allowed to know about?
13:20What other businesses?
13:23Anywhere you've got your garden.
13:25And your books.
13:27Big reader.
13:28That's right, I'm sure that's what the neighbours think of me.
13:33No.
13:35What I meant was...
13:38Have you thought about me buying the shops?
13:40Having all three in my name.
13:42Have the money put away.
13:43And I want to pay.
13:47But, for a Christmas present, to be a shorter one, I like my name on all of the deeds.
13:54I'm sorry to break it to you, but for almost two years, we've had the same name.
14:01You know what I mean.
14:02I know that it's time for bed.
14:04I'll kiss the children for you, shall I?
14:06I always kiss the children.
14:07I kiss them all the time.
14:08You do?
14:09You do.
14:10Yes.
14:12Outside of trading hours.
14:13We...
14:14We...
14:59How was your sure thing?
15:01Sure things like marriages.
15:02Only fools expect they'll work out.
15:04I need more time.
15:05I'd throw myself at the mercy of these Hamilton inequitable people.
15:09Make me see sense.
15:10Man to man.
15:12I'm late for lunch.
15:13Don't tell father.
15:20I'm late for lunch.
15:35I'm late for lunch.
15:43Could have had the maids come in to at least do dinner.
15:45They don't have families of their own to be with.
15:47And you don't?
15:50Run up to Christmas.
15:52Obviously the shop comes first.
15:54But I must say I did hold back today.
15:56Today I have a million things to do.
15:58But you sit.
15:59Please.
16:00Sit.
16:03What time did you get up?
16:05I was hoping we might get to, er, lie-in.
16:08I'm going to fall short in that department.
16:10Daddy!
16:10No, I just meant...
16:12No, love.
16:13I just meant...
16:13She's wanting the Yule log.
16:15No, love.
16:16We don't have chocolate for breakfast.
16:17And the Yule logs for later, so...
16:19It's Christmas.
16:20No, Joe.
16:21She mustn't.
16:23Not the whole thing.
16:24Oh, where's the hell?
16:25Don't give it to her!
16:28Now, look!
16:29The waste!
16:35It looks like you've got this under control.
16:38Anyone want to play a game?
16:45Copy just over there.
16:48Yes, sir.
16:49Good chance.
16:50Good chance.
16:50Good chance.
16:56Just trying to fill the gaps a bit.
16:59When we were children, Adele and I used to decorate place settings with people's names.
17:05Which cost nothing, of course.
17:07I didn't know if Edwin and Gerald would think it a bit silly.
17:10Too much, probably.
17:12You were doing a wonderful job.
17:17I just wanted to make it, well, if not perfect, then at least bearable.
17:26Where would we have been without you in these last few years?
17:30And before that, I realized, for years, decades, we're always there.
17:42Well, Olivia.
17:51Is that a...
17:52Adele's ring, yes.
17:54She'd be so glad for you to have it.
17:58Darling.
18:00Will you be my wife?
18:19Well, she's...
18:23Now.
18:25We're the boys.
18:28We're the boys.
18:31Oh, my God.
19:01Oh, my God.
19:04Oh, my God.
19:07Oh, not today, surely.
19:17What's to do there if it's shut?
19:19I'm fetching another Yule log.
19:21Also, I've had an idea about those beef and potato pies.
19:23They need shifted.
19:24Emma, it's Christmas Day.
19:25Too bad soon, love.
19:26No, no, I'm gone.
19:45You look lovely.
19:49I suppose we should go downstairs.
19:52Yes, I don't want you to look like we're hiding.
19:59But first...
20:18It's beautiful.
20:22Thank goodness.
20:25It was a risk, but I know with my mother, remembering's good.
20:34And last year, our first Christmas, we hardly knew each other.
20:38So I can't even remember what I got you.
20:41Something unimaginative, I expect, like chocolates.
20:56I love them.
21:02Oh, never mind the Balkans.
21:04Ask with it.
21:05Ask with it's a real threat.
21:06No telling me that if the French went to war, he wouldn't follow them without a second thought.
21:09Like a shot, but it won't come to that.
21:12Well, that'll ask his wife.
21:14Ask what tells everything to his wife.
21:16And Lloyd George tells everything to other people's wives.
21:20Hmm.
21:24Speaking of wives...
21:31Show them.
21:44Oh, congratulations.
21:50Edwin, I know that this must be...
21:52I'm making an honest woman out of her, Edwin.
21:54And she is making me...
21:56The happiest man in the world.
21:58Well...
22:04Congratulations.
22:07Aunt Olivia.
22:25Really must release yourself of it.
22:27Olivia, this shame of yours, this guilt.
22:34It's exhausting.
22:43Excuse me, I have a bit of a headache.
22:50Your brother didn't save any day to join us?
22:53No.
22:57No.
23:23I'm sorry.
23:25I'm sorry.
23:3557 High Street, is that right?
23:37What are you doing here?
23:39I can ask you the same, but the gold letters outside give you away.
23:44Why have you come, Joel Fairley?
23:45Mr Fairley, to you.
23:48I have a letter for Hamilton Equitable.
23:51Then I'd better take it.
23:56I've got places to be, even if you don't. Muld wine, mince pies and the like.
24:00So hand over the letter, you've gone to all the trouble of bringing me, and take your leave.
24:04You're Hamilton Equitable? You're in the money lending business?
24:08Only to you. Heard you got yourself into trouble as the weak often do, and saw an opportunity.
24:12Now get out of my shop, leave any correspondence you have on the mat, and I'll reply after Christmas.
24:17This is the best Christmas present I could ever have.
24:19Well, this is me thinking that I had to pay that money back.
24:22Hamilton Equitable is some kind of real firm.
24:25No, it's real, all right.
24:26Some little jumped-up housemaid bearing a grudge because she got rejected is no real business.
24:30Take that up with the team of lawyers who have verified my interest rates and the contract you signed.
24:35Now get out of my shop, and I want that money back tomorrow, I've agreed.
24:41You're clever, don't you?
24:44Where's the child, Emma Hart?
24:47I haven't got a child.
24:48Oh, come on. Where's the child you had that belongs to my brother?
24:52I did not have your brother's baby.
24:56You're nothing but a whore.
24:58A good one.
24:59I have no doubt.
25:00But nonetheless, a whore.
25:03Edwin told me the whole story tale late one night.
25:06Tears in his eyes.
25:07I don't know what story he's told you or himself, but I didn't have Edwin's child.
25:11Does your father know how much debt you're in?
25:13I know.
25:14Your game, Emma Hart.
25:16I know it's common practice with tramps from the working class that you'll turn up with your child at some
25:20stage to blackmail our family.
25:22Well, you've had enough money out of me.
25:28You know Edwin's married now, don't you?
25:32Not that his wife gives him what he wants.
25:37Not like you did, I'm sure.
25:40I saw how stuck on you Edwin was.
25:42So I imagine you don't know how to move those lips of yours, don't you?
25:46Oh, come on.
25:47You had it up willingly enough for Edwin, didn't you?
25:49And I'm not about taking his seconds.
25:53What's the matter?
25:54I was like you already any time of day or night.
25:57As your Christmas spirit, Emma Hart, I can see you.
26:00Put on your little dress for me.
26:01Get off!
26:02I used to see you in my hands.
26:04I'm watching.
26:07And you guys knew what you wanted.
26:09And so did I.
26:11So did I.
26:13Yes, you did.
26:14I know you did.
26:15I can tell.
26:17I can tell.
26:38That is the final deposit in the settlement of my account.
26:49Get out, because I mean it, I will kill you.
26:52I will.
26:53I like a tiger.
26:55I like you wild, Emma Hart.
26:58You are nothing, Gerald Fairley.
27:00You are an insignificant man who's had every advantage his whole life.
27:04Yet the only way you feel like a winner is to use physical strength for approximately 15 seconds.
27:10Well, your body might be stronger than mine, but your resolve never will be.
27:14Your filthy animal needs will never match the lust, the fire that burns inside of me.
27:19Because my desire is destruction.
27:21And I'll never stop.
27:23Not ever.
27:23Not till I've ruined you and every other member of your self-absorbed, privileged and spineless family.
27:28You boring little tramp.
27:30And as for the money you owe, check your contract.
27:32I'm calling in your collateral.
27:37You couldn't?
27:38One signature from me, and it's done.
27:40When I sign that paper, every brick of Fairley Mill will belong to me.
27:44And I'll leave it up to you to explain to your dad why you put it up as security, because
27:47this is just the start.
27:49I won't stop making your family pay, till every Fairley living mourns the day they ever heard the name Emma
27:54Hart.
27:59It's a happy Christmas, Gerald Fairley, from all Hamilton Equitable and Hart Enterprises.
28:23I'll leave it up to you to the fairle of the fairle of the fairle of the fairle of the

29:01Oh, well, I'm feeling better.
29:09I got the Yule log.
29:10Well, that's good, because we're going to need all the supplies that we can get.
29:14Sure, if there'd been no Yule log, I'd have had my coat on and be striding out that door.
29:19What's a Yule log?
29:23You came.
29:26You're here.
29:30Happy Christmas.
29:34Good morning. You all right?
29:37I am now.
29:38Mac's got a surprise of his own.
29:46Oh, I'm sorry. Hello.
29:51Emma, this is Laura, my friend.
29:56A special friend?
29:58Is it that great news?
30:00It is. Of course it is.
30:03I kept telling Mac it wasn't a day of French Productions, but you know what he's like.
30:08He did tell you I was coming.
30:14Of course.
30:15Welcome.
30:16Welcome indeed.
30:18And for goodness sake, let's have a drink, shall we?
30:21what?
30:28Oh.
30:32Oh.
30:37Oh, God.
30:54I don't know.
31:26I don't know.
31:54I don't know.
32:02Am I an ill-mannered brute?
32:04No warning.
32:06And an uninvited guest in tow.
32:09Oh, a dreadful brute.
32:10Always.
32:14But always, always welcome.
32:19That's the one you've introduced.
32:20So I'm guessing Laura's not like the others.
32:23The many others.
32:24That's nice.
32:25A lot of it.
32:27I barely know any girls at all.
32:36Not in danger of settling down, are you?
32:40Jane O'Neill.
32:43Sure.
32:44It takes a special girl to get a proposal from me.
32:49And my heart.
32:52Do I still have a wife?
32:54Presents?
32:55We've waited long enough.
32:56No.
33:02No.
33:04No.
33:11No.
33:16No.
33:19No.
33:32Later on, Pat.
33:33You can't give a man a present and not let him open it.
33:37Is it, Daddy?
33:39My love, your gift is outside the front of the house.
33:43Is it a treasure hunt?
33:45Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt!
33:46I mean, what needs to be kept cold? A beer?
33:51Not a beef and potato pie.
33:59Daddy, look! Is it for you?
34:02Not for me.
34:05No, Emma!
34:06I know you want to be.
34:08Yeah, but I never dreamed it.
34:12Have you seen this?
34:14A car from my beautiful, hard-working wife.
34:18No more hardship for Emma Hart, eh?
34:22Well done, Malorny.
34:24Let's go for an adventure!
34:35I have an unimaginative gift I need help with.
34:39Thanks.
34:40My husband hasn't shown his devotion to me with cheap chocolates.
34:44These are definitely mid-range.
34:54I don't agree with everything Mr. Fairley says, but
34:59I'm sure he's right
35:01that your sister would want you to be happy.
35:04Who knows what a doll would have wanted.
35:08She didn't know herself, I suspect.
35:12All I know is how strange it feels with her gone.
35:18It's as if everything's gone dark.
35:24People leave us, but the love doesn't.
35:28You think you can't stand it, the grief.
35:32Then one day it starts to become bearable.
35:36The sun comes out.
35:40Olivia!
35:43Where have you gone to?
35:45Olivia!
35:51We can look for it ourselves all we like,
35:53but what we're all hoping for is that love finds us.
35:57Don't you think?
35:59Real love.
36:02The kind you don't have to question.
36:26No, thank you.
36:29You saw Edwin's reaction.
36:31He was horrified.
36:32And if we think that anyone at all will feel any differently,
36:35then we're lying to ourselves.
36:37I mean, for God's sake, I don't feel any differently.
36:39It is horrifying.
36:41So,
36:42I can't do it.
36:43I'm sorry.
36:44I can't.
36:55So, it was all for nothing, then.
37:02Adele's death.
37:04You broke your sister's heart.
37:07She drank herself to death.
37:09We all lost her.
37:10We all suffered this unimaginable, utter misery, but for no reason.
37:21Olivia.
37:23If we don't legitimize this,
37:26if we don't show the world that you and I weren't just fooling around,
37:31then
37:33how do you explain what the hell you're still doing here?
37:37What's been going on in this house?
37:40How
37:42do we explain it to the boys?
38:05Now.
38:07Come on.
38:08It's Christmas.
38:09What are we playing?
38:10Suits?
38:11Suits?
38:23For my beautiful wife,
38:25the deeds of the shop.
38:26Yeah.
38:28All three.
38:29Yeah.
38:29All in your name.
38:31Merry Christmas.
38:32Yeah.
38:32Yeah.
38:33I want to pay for them.
38:35I mean it.
38:36I've all the money saved.
38:38Very, very fast.
38:39Hold on.
38:40Hi.
38:41Woo!
38:43Woo!
38:47That car was some present.
38:51Joe deserves some consolation for his absentee wife.
38:54And he deserves not to feel...
38:58stuck.
38:59Also,
39:00you deserve a husband who can speed you up and down in a fancy sports car.
39:06He did want a car.
39:08It's just, it may be he wanted other things more.
39:18It can be lonely.
39:21Am I right?
39:24Have any purpose?
39:27Being so certain every day.
39:31Not everyone understands.
39:32So, it can be lonely.
39:35So, it can be lonely.
39:42Laura's wonderful.
39:45She's a good woman.
39:46Seems stuck on you.
39:49Can you blame the girl?
39:52She's not like us, though.
39:55Well, what relief.
39:56Well, she wants her a quiet life.
39:58Although, did you see her in the passenger seat?
40:01Screaming, she was.
40:04She's a dark horse.
40:05Yes.
40:05Say that.
40:12I'm glad you like her, though.
40:15That's important.
40:21I'm buying the shops from Joe.
40:23All of them.
40:25And I've got myself a present, too.
40:34You're looking at the new owner of Fairley Mill.
40:41Because when you're busy making sacrifices every day,
40:44you deserve the odd reward.
40:50You're doing it, Emma.
40:52You're doing it.
40:53I am.
40:55I am.
40:56And I'm only just beginning.
41:04Wow.
41:07Check the shops.
41:09Emma.
41:09I want to.
41:10Please.
41:11To feel safe.
41:16How was it?
41:18Oh.
41:19She's a dream.
41:20The car ran the wife.
41:24I wanted you to have something you loved.
41:28So did I.
41:34Hello.
41:34What's up?
41:39Oh, you're supposed to be there.
41:41Watch out.
41:44How much important are?
41:47We didn't want to get surprised you.
41:49Hey, didn't we?
41:50Yeah.
41:52Are you surprised?
41:53I am, my friend.
41:54I am.
41:55I am.
41:57It's more important, eh, than family.
42:01Come here.
42:03Come here.
42:11Where the hell have you been?
42:14You've missed quite a day.
42:15Did you at least manage to buy yourself more time?
42:19General.
42:22Mother was the only one who thought anything of me, wasn't she?
42:26It's just about the debt.
42:28General.
42:29It's just money.
42:30It doesn't matter.
42:31It's gone.
42:32The mill's gone.
42:33She's taken it.
42:34Who has?
42:35Who's taken it?
42:36Your little whore.
42:37Emma Hart.
42:41Strutting around like she's anything more than just a tramp maid.
42:45And she's dangerous.
42:46She won't stop there.
42:48But we can make sure she gets what's coming to her.
42:51Can't we, Edwin?
42:54We'll remind them of her.
42:56If she really is, we'll make her sorry.
42:58Won't we?
