00:07Welcome back, Mrs. Hart.
00:09Oh, have I been away?
00:11Charming scarf.
00:12Oh, thank you.
00:13Spring, summer, yes.
00:14And just perfect with those boots.
00:17Now, my Cytex presentation at 11, yes?
00:20Oh, Paula's taking that on.
00:22Her last one was a triumph.
00:24We sent her cookies.
00:42Grandy, no need for big speeches, thank you.
00:44You know, I have apologized a million times.
00:47And there's no one in the whole world I admire more than you.
00:50Oh, you are doing this speech, are you?
00:52Are you hoping I'll send you biscuits?
00:54Grandy, you have to listen to me.
00:58They know.
01:00They all know you've been ill.
01:02Some source at the hospital.
01:04They're gathering the board in London next Monday.
01:07They told everyone that you've been ill, and I'm afraid...
01:13They've got the votes.
01:15They're going to oust you.
01:17Hart Enterprises, Cytex, it's all to be taken from you and put in their names.
01:23Edwina.
01:24Yes, along with Uncle Kit, Uncle Robin and Aunt Elizabeth.
01:27I'm so sorry.
01:29What can I do?
01:35I see you've been dabbling in lycra.
01:38Oh, our new leisure wear range.
01:40You'll hate it, I'm sure.
01:41But I'm convinced it's the next big thing.
01:43Well, looks very comfortable.
01:50Zip-fastening on the side would improve the lines.
01:55Leave me, would you, Paula?
01:57I'm suddenly very tired.
02:16Henry, it's Emma.
02:19I've decided I would like to go ahead.
02:23Yes, please.
02:25And we're to be certain, it's absolutely watertight.
02:32My birthday?
02:34Not a thing, I imagine.
02:36What use are birthdays?
02:38Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear kid, happy birthday to you.
02:56All right, who wants a slice?
02:58Me.
02:59Yes, please.
03:04This is madness.
03:06Pretending everything's fine.
03:08Throw in a party when we all know war could be declared any second.
03:10We'll be waiting either way.
03:12Might as well eat cake while we're doing it.
03:16Mark, business has been slowing down for months.
03:18I've had to take up loans.
03:20What does Joe say?
03:23Emma.
03:25You haven't told him.
03:26He won't hear it.
03:27He's convinced himself war won't happen.
03:28Well, maybe he's right.
03:29He's not.
03:31I need a plan.
03:35Whenever there's a problem, we can't be solved.
03:42Emma, Matt, family photograph, everyone in.
03:46Come on.
03:52Put your arm around your wife, man.
04:17Excuse me.
04:18Sorry.
04:46Did you see?
04:47The government's going to be accepting bids for uniform manufacturers.
04:51This is it, Mac.
04:52This is how we're going to survive it.
04:55Now I know what you're thinking.
04:56Why would they award a contract to someone who's made their name in ladies' wear,
04:59especially a woman, but I think...
05:00So you're going to start manufacturing the material
05:03before you've even won the contract?
05:05To make sure I win the contract.
05:06They can't say no, can they?
05:08Yeah, but the cost of it...
05:11It's a risk.
05:12I know it is.
05:14But the only way I can make it work is...
05:17if I sell the shots.
05:20No.
05:22No, you built those with your own blood, sweat and tears.
05:25You can't just give them up.
05:26If I don't do something drastic, the debt collectors will take them anyway.
05:33You don't think I can do it?
05:37I think you can do anything, Emma.
05:42What can I do to help?
06:00Good night.
06:02Mike.
06:06It's Jesse.
06:14It's Jesse.
06:23ah what a blessing being able to have breakfast together again both of us with our wives so
06:30you've settled back into your old room have you yes fine thank you well we do appreciate you

06:43that might not be necessary oh i'm signing up,

07:10i thought you'd be pleased you never barst off the opportunity to speak about your days at sandhouse
07:15if i thought this was in any way an honorable war i'd be commending your bravery
07:18but it isn't ours to fight
07:22asquith is leading our soldiers to catastrophe only a fool would volunteer
07:26and i suppose i'm a fool you do remember we own a newspaper yes it's the one thing people will
07:34still be buying edwin do you have any idea how close we are to losing this house you'll manage without
07:41me why why are you so set on this
07:49it's the only way to make it stop
07:51what are you talking about
07:57emma hart
07:59emma hart
08:01what has that damn girl done now
08:02it's what i did to her father
08:06that's the why
08:08emma hart is hellbent on destroying us
08:10it's why she took our mill
08:13she's punishing me and she won't give up until i've suffered as much as she has
08:17so this is what
08:19for a suicide mission
08:20what could you have possibly done that was so terrible to risk your life as recompense
08:28what
08:30emma and i were
08:34involved
08:34romantically
08:36i'm sorry father
08:39she fell pregnant and i panicked
08:42took no responsibility
08:44all but sent her away entirely alone
08:54and
08:58what were you supposed to do
08:59marry her
09:04did you not hear what i said about the
09:07oh yes
09:07yes
09:09jill told me years ago there was a child
09:14you knew
09:17and you're not angry
09:18well it's not ideal
09:21obviously
09:22but
09:23boys will be boys
09:24needs must be met
09:26and inevitably the sort of girls who are willing are only going to be found in the service quarters
09:29that
09:31not with emma
09:32it was
09:33what
09:35love
09:36more than love
09:37it was everything
09:39whatever silly infatuation you think you had edwin
09:42it hardly justifies traipsing off to france
09:45with the very real possibility you won't return
09:48i understand the risks
09:50it's what i have to do
09:51and i'm sorry father
09:53you won't change my mind
10:04good morning everyone
10:05now i know this is an uncertain and anxious time for us all so i'll get straight to the point
10:13from today
10:14my mills and the factory
10:16will halt production on the usual hat fabrics and designs
10:19to produce only a durable wool for military uniforms
10:23which we will eventually be making on an exclusive basis for the duration of the war
10:28unfortunately
10:30this will mean the closing and sale of my shops
10:33but please don't worry
10:34none of you will be out of work
10:36you're all needed elsewhere
10:37those of you who wish to volunteer i will continue to pay your wages to your families
10:40then when you return
10:42your jobs will be here waiting for you
10:43while you're out there
10:45fighting to protect our future
10:46we'll be doing everything we can
10:48to protect yours
10:51are there any questions
10:52yes
10:54i have a few
10:57you're selling my shops
10:58i'm selling my shops
10:59i bought them from you at full price
11:01the deeds are in my name
11:02i don't care about the deeds emma
11:04these shops belong to my father
11:06if you pull the wallpaper down in that corner
11:08you'll see where my mother marks my height every birthday
11:10those memories will still exist with or without these buildings
11:13perhaps you don't understand what a precarious position we're in
11:16who is this we
11:17you talk like we're a team but you didn't think to ask
11:20or even tell me that you're selling my father's legacy
11:22these are not normal times
11:24wouldn't your father want you to do what's needed to survive
11:26or maybe that's the problem
11:28survival isn't something you've ever had to think about before
11:30what's that supposed to mean
11:32these shops were handed to you
11:34just like everything else in your life
11:35that doesn't mean i didn't work hard
11:37and you just trust that i have explored every option
11:40and this is the one that'll see our family through this wretched war
11:42do you have so little faith in me
11:44no that's not fair and you know it
11:46i had faith in you the second i saw you
11:49i gave you a job remember
11:50and less than a year i'll let you a shop
11:52and then another emma
11:53i don't think there's anybody in this world who has more faith in you than i do
11:59mac had no doubts
12:03not one
12:05laura please
12:05i said i didn't want
12:09laura
12:10emma talks and sent him to him please i'll listen to you
12:12what's going on
12:14he's signing up
12:15sacrificing himself for a country that's not even hit
12:17laura
12:18my husband's gonna give his life for the whim of a government who won't give women the vote and i'm
12:21supposed to just accept it
12:22you seem a bit rash
12:23mac it's early days
12:25i'm not doing this for the government or the king
12:28can't you see
12:30if we don't go over there and stop the germans they'll bring the fight to us
12:33there's no doubt it'll reach these shores
12:36that'll take months
12:37years the war will be over by christmas
12:39and what if it's not
12:43i can't sit here
12:45waiting for them to come to us
12:47i have to do this
12:50to keep you safe
12:52but we don't want you to
12:54do we ever tell him
12:55he's right
12:58we have to do what we can
12:59no matter how risky
13:01scares me of course it does
13:02i couldn't bear the thought
13:06but we can't be ruled by fear
13:08this is bigger than all of us
13:11we've got good lives that we've worked hard for
13:14people to protect
13:16if we don't fight tooth and nail in whatever way we can
13:19god knows what that'll mean for our children
13:22doing nothing
13:24isn't that the biggest risk of all
13:39be with you in just a second
13:41feel free to browse
13:44there she is
13:47Emma Hart
13:50look at you
13:53how far you've come
14:02you should know that Edmund
14:04told me everything
14:08he's got it into his head that he has to
14:13he's volunteering
14:15to fight punishing himself for what happened
14:18between the pair of you
14:21now if what Edmund says is true and your feelings for each other were in fact genuine
14:25then I'm sure you don't want his life at risk any more than I do
14:32so I thought you could write him a letter
14:37saying that you'll forgive him
14:39absolving him
14:40maybe just maybe just maybe he'll see sense
14:42maybe just maybe he'll see sense
15:10nothing to do with me
15:18oh you used to remind me so much of your mother
15:23but I can see now you're quite different
15:26what do you know about my mother
15:28oh she didn't tell you
15:30Elizabeth
15:30she used to serve our family much like you did
15:34I was very fond of her
15:38you're lying
15:39we spent a wonderful summer together
15:41out on the moors
15:43in the caves
15:44on top of the world
15:47only she was able to see our time together for what it was
15:51she didn't bear a grudge
15:53and I'm asking you to do the same
15:56find it in your heart to forgive
16:00I think it's what your mother would want
16:08why didn't you help her
16:13she could have lived
16:16if we could have got a doctor to see her to give her medicine
16:20you could have paid for that
16:24my father ran into a burning building to save your son
16:27he gave his life for him
16:29you wouldn't even give one penny for my mother's
16:32that's hardly fair
16:32no such thing as fair
16:34not in this world
16:35though I see why you believe in it
16:36since every coin you've ever tossed has landed heads up
16:38but that is just luck
16:39all I'm trying to do is protect my child
16:41Edwin is a grown man
16:42who is choosing to put himself in the line of fire
16:45my mother never had a choice her whole life
16:47no need to get upset
16:48oh I'm not upset
16:49I am burning with rage
16:51and that will never change
16:53you, your sons, your wife
16:55you destroyed my family
16:56and you could be quite sure
16:57I will not rest
16:58until I've destroyed yours
17:28close
17:30close
17:45and remember
17:45and it was so tocar
17:49and it was just beautiful
17:49so I can't wait to have a Elden monster
17:49to go in here
17:49and I don't know
17:49kind of think about trying to do
17:49to sleep
17:49but it was just a dream
17:49have a way to people
17:49been modeling
17:50what was that?
17:59how minutes
18:00send humor
18:00and a society
18:22Oh, my God.
18:31I'll be up soon.
18:33It's already morning.
18:35Been here all night.
18:38I'm sorry.
18:42I've been thinking.
18:44And we need to give ourselves the best possible chance of winning the military uniform contract.
18:49So that's why I think...
18:55You should do the presentation.
18:58What?
18:58Perform it, I mean.
18:59I'll write it, or we can write it together.
19:02And practice it over and over until you know it back to front.
19:04Emma.
19:04I know you're angry with me about the shops.
19:07But this is for our family, for the children.
19:09Those lords are never going to give the contract to a woman.
19:12They want someone who looks like them.
19:14A man they can trust in.
19:15And I don't know a more trustworthy man than...
19:17I've signed up.
19:22Joe.
19:27Is this because Mac?
19:31I'm not daft, Emma.
19:33I wouldn't risk leaving our children without a father just to prove to you I'm as much of a man
19:37as he is.
19:40I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
19:43But how could I ever look them in the eye?
19:47Kit and Edwina.
19:49If I didn't do everything I could to protect them.
19:54But...
19:55I need you.
20:00I'm sorry, Emma.
20:03I didn't know.
20:07We never have done before.
20:13I'm sorry.
20:14I'm sorry.
20:19I didn't know.
20:19I didn't know.
20:19I didn't know.
20:20I didn't know.
20:21I didn't know.
20:22I didn't know.
20:28I didn't know.
20:28People worried the Boer war would last for years and look how quickly that ended.
20:33Weren't there two war wars?
20:35Yes. The second one lasted three years.
20:41Still, I'm sure that this time next year we'll all be back to our normal lives,
20:44and everyone will be so grateful to you for your bravery here, Edwin.
20:47Yes, I'm sure you'll be a huge asset on the battlefield,
20:50with all your experience wielding pens and fanning about the newsroom.
20:55I'm looking forward to the parades when it's over.
20:58I expect there'll be some.
20:59Yeah, it's a parade. That should make all the death of Earth it.
21:08What? He's obviously not coming.
21:11He is.
21:13No. He isn't.
21:27Everyone's wondering where you are.
21:30I thought you'd be too busy drinking champagne,
21:33toasting the stupidest decision that everyone's ever made.
21:38Adam.
21:40It's not too late to tell him how you feel.
21:43I made that perfectly clear.
21:53I don't want you to have any regrets.
21:56They're poisonous.
21:59I wish I'd told Adele.
22:01Yes, perhaps if you had, instead of whatever it was you said that drove her back to the drink,
22:05she'd still be here.
22:22Edwina, love, listen, do you understand what Daddy's saying?
22:27I've got to go away for a little while.
22:28Can I call you?
22:30No, love.
22:33Daddy's got an important job to do.
22:35I'll be back before you know it.
22:37For Christmas.
22:41Yeah.
22:43For Christmas.
22:51You should sleep.
22:53You'll need it.
23:00It's for the birthdays.
23:03I've got up to Edwina's 16th, which is impossible to imagine, isn't it?
23:14Will you, um...
23:18I don't...
23:24You will.
23:58Edwin?
24:01Yes?
24:03I hope...
24:05you find peace.
24:09I know that's a strange thing to say, given.
24:13But it seems to me as though that's what you're looking for.
24:18That's what you've always been looking for.
24:21You might be right about that.
24:25But...
24:28I'm not sure I deserve it.
24:31I deserve it.
24:43I'm sorry.
24:45I know who you wanted this to be.
24:50I never should have pretended I was capable of giving you what you wanted.
25:11You shouldn't wait for me.
25:14Whatever happens, don't you, mate?
25:16Whatever happens, don't you, mate?
25:18You deserve that heart-swearing love you've always dreamed of.
25:25The kind you had with Emma.
25:33I found the letters.
25:38Oh, God.
25:40That's why I had her all to my dress.
25:44I wanted to meet her.
25:48I can see why she made you heart-swearing.
25:53I'm sorry, you lost her.
25:56I'm sorry, Marty.
26:09I'm sorry, Marty.
26:32I'm sorry, Marty.
26:33I have to meet her.
26:33I'm sorry, Marty.
26:40I'm sorry, Marty.
26:41I'm sorry, Marty.
27:06Safe travels.
27:50Oh, my God.
28:35I love you.
28:39You don't.
28:41But that's okay.
28:44It's never made me regret a second of it.
28:48It's a privilege being your husband.
28:51But that's one that I won't let go of easily.
28:54So you can be sure I will find my way back to you.
29:20I told you, didn't I?
29:23I'm not good at these.
29:25It wasn't good by then and it isn't now.
29:27Don't even say it.
29:29Say see you soon because you will.
29:31You have to.
29:34There's no me without you, Shane O'Neill.
29:37Not since that first morning we met on the Mars.
29:40So don't go being the hero.
29:43I know that will be hard for you but
29:46I need you back here.
29:56See you soon, Anama.
30:04Hold on.
30:06Hold on.
30:09The question is right, please.
30:11Oh, what's happened after the question?
30:14Come on.
30:44Come on.
31:33Come on.
31:46Listen to this.
31:48Remember to drink your tea while it's still hot.
31:50You often set it aside and forget when you're lost in your work.
31:54I swap it for a fresh one before you notice.
31:57And I've left a shawl on the back of your chair.
32:00Use it.
32:02You always feel the cold when the evening draft creeps in.
32:07He knows you pretty well.
32:09What are we supposed to do with that?
32:12Carry on.
32:19You should stay.
32:21Stay here.
32:23Not just tonight, but until they come home.
32:27Get each other through it.
32:35But we won't be wallowing.
32:37You've got your presentation.
32:39I can't win without you.
32:41They'll never take me seriously.
32:42That's what a woman would say.
32:45Now a man with all your achievements and a proposal as good as yours,
32:50he would go in there and act like he'd already won.
33:00Adam.
33:01She killed my son.
33:05Who has?
33:08Adam, Edwin's not dead.
33:11He's...
33:11She'll pay.
33:13I'll make sure that woman pays.
33:16Who?
33:20Am I hot?
33:23Dearest Joe,
33:24I don't know when or even if this letter will reach you,
33:28but I have to try
33:29to tell you how sorry I am.
33:32Because you're right,
33:33a marriage should be about two partners,
33:35and I regret more than anything
33:37that I never gave you the chance to be mine.
33:41I've been so proud,
33:43so stubborn,
33:44thinking I had to do it all on my own.
33:47That I didn't notice the sacrifices you made,
33:49the quiet strength you were offering,
33:52how you loved me,
33:53supported me,
33:55and trusted me,
33:56without asking for anything in return.
33:59It was unforgivable
34:01deciding to sell the shops,
34:03so I've taken them off the market.
34:06Yes,
34:06we are in significant debt,
34:09but some things are more important than money.
34:12At the park owner of two mirrors
34:14and a factory full of your interest,
34:15a place to begin sewing ourselves as soon.
34:20Immediately.
34:21Subject to your...
34:22I have every faith
34:23that I'll win the bid
34:24for the military uniform contract,
34:26just as I have every faith
34:27that you'll come home to me.
34:29I need you today.
34:30And when you do, Joe,
34:31I'll be the partner you deserve.
34:34I promise you that.
35:04I'll be the partner you deserve.
35:05of France fighting for king and country. The least we can do is provide them with the best possible
35:10uniforms to aid their path to victory, the most durable wool, the most functional designs,
35:15and I am the person to make that happen. I know I'm not the usual sort to stand before you,
35:20as you've likely observed, I'm not a man, but I ask you to pay attention not to who I am,
35:29but to what I'm offering. I am the proud owner of two mills and a factory full of workers,
35:35poised to begin sewing our soldiers' uniforms immediately, subject to your approval of my
35:39designs. I've already begun producing the fabric needed at my own cost. I knew that inflation on
35:45the price of raw materials would be coming, and fast, so the day war was declared, I secured the
35:50wool needed to make 16,000 uniforms at a price of one shilling per pound. If you were to buy
35:55that
35:55wool today, you wouldn't be able to get it for less than one shilling and three pence. Tomorrow,
35:59it will be higher. And that's how I know that not one of the men you've heard from so far
36:03will be able to offer you a more competitive price than I can. Time is not a luxury we have,
36:08gentlemen. The war has begun. Pick me, and not only can I offer you the highest quality at the lowest
36:13price, but I can begin today.
36:22I've had an idea. And it's rather brilliant, if I do say so myself.
36:27Oh, well, let's hear it. You should join the VAD. We can train together.
36:32Oh, it'll be so much more fun if it's the two of us. I really think you'd get something out
36:36of it.
36:38Well, I don't think so.
36:39Why not?
36:41Well, I don't think Adam would... I mean, he needs me here. Especially with Edwin gone.
36:47And what about what you need?
36:49Well, I... I don't... I'm... I'm fine.
36:54Are you? Yes.
37:00What?
37:02Nothing, it's just...
37:04You seem to spend a lot of time worrying about Mr Fairley's needs, but...
37:09He doesn't seem to give yours a second thought.
37:13What's a thing to say. That's not true.
37:17Isn't it?
37:19No. I...
37:21I know Adam can be...
37:24But he's been through an awful lot. I mean, he lost his wife.
37:28And you lost your sister.
37:30Yes, yes, I did. I lost her. We both lost someone that we adored that day.
37:34And it was my fault, because I broke Adele's heart. I betrayed her.
37:37I drove her back to the drink.
37:39You broke her heart. All on your own? And what about Mr Fairley?
37:42I was the last person to speak to her.
37:45No, you weren't.
37:46I was.
37:48No, it was...
37:50Mr Fairley.
37:52I heard him. In Mrs Fairley's room.
37:55Arguing, saying the cruelest things only a few hours before she...
38:00Are you making this up?
38:02Power.
38:04I swear.
38:08Thank you so much, Fardacton. I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity.
38:13You've got my details, haven't you?
38:14If you have any further questions...
38:16Charles?
38:17Adam Fairley!
38:19Charlie! Good to see you, old boy.
38:21How long has it been?
38:22Is that horse of yours running?
38:25I'm going to insist that you dine with us again soon.
38:27I know, Olivia's just dying with us in head.
38:31Now, regarding those uniforms...
38:33I don't think we need to look at the cards.
38:35I want you to do.
38:36I want you to trust me.
38:37I want you to trust me.
38:56Contract's lost.
38:57I lost.
38:59But it's okay.
39:02They'll be away, won't they?
39:04Find a way to fix it.
39:05Fix everything.
39:08Now, I haven't come up with a plan yet.
39:10But I always do.
39:26Who?
39:30Who?
39:54Mommy, mommy!
39:56Mommy!
39:59Mommy, why are you crying?
40:02I love you.
40:06I love you, Edwina.
40:11No, I haven't heard from Edwina for a while.
40:15But I'll give her your regards.
40:18And watertight, yes?
40:22Goodbye.
40:31Would you send Paula in, please?
40:35No more secrets, Paula.
40:37Agreed?
40:38No more secrets.
40:39And I'd like you to contact the family, please.
40:42I believe I'm going to have that birthday party, after all.
40:45Ask Jerry to make travel arrangements.
40:48The whole clan for this weekend.
40:50This weekend?
40:51Before Monday?
40:52That's right.
40:53My children can celebrate with me en route to their famous meeting.
40:57Let's make this an occasion to remember.
41:00We're going home.
41:03We're going home.
41:05We're going home.
41:05We're going home.
41:06We're going home.
