00:09The End
00:09Change the grace, Mirabella, call to an in-person meet at Vogue HQ this afternoon, please.
00:15I need to be out and about, let people see for themselves my children's claims about my ill health are
00:21greatly exaggerated.
00:23Grandy, have you spoken to any of them?
00:24I wonder if a calmer, more considered conversation with Aunt Edwina might...
00:29I get Henry Rossiter to come and see me.
00:32I need to liquidate some assets.
00:34Really? How much do you need?
00:36Seven million pounds.
00:38What for?
00:39And as much as it pains me to say it, I should make a television appearance.
00:43So call Peter Lasali and tell him it's finally a yes for The Tonight Show.
00:48And after that, I'd like you to call Jim Fairley and put an end to your dalliance with him.
00:57I... I don't know what you...
01:00I didn't even know who he was when we first met him.
01:03I thought you were serious about your future here, Paula.
01:06I thought you had ambition.
01:07I am. I do.
01:08Then it ends today.
01:10But, Grandy, I love him.
01:13Paula, I understand.
01:16Believe me, that occasionally one can find oneself distracted.
01:21But one must use that distraction as a springboard for moving on.
01:26You and Jim Fairley are over.
01:29End of story.
01:31You've done it where I am without making sacrifices.
01:55I believe that you're dead.
01:57You know, just as if you care...
02:00We wereılar purports approve blij声...
02:01She said they can't see that and they look by ourлаes.
02:02I've always been here for my friends with all
02:03But I wanna see them now...
02:07Ready for your grand opening day?
02:13Have a lovely day.
02:34All right, you settle down.
02:37He's my second, and compared to the first, he's just an angel.
02:42Emma, is this don't tell anyone the words to go?

05:40Terry.
05:42Terry.
05:43Terry.
05:44She thinks we're carrying on.
05:47She could be her shop. I never keep you waiting for rent.
05:50I'd be too worried that she'd bludgeon us both to death with one of your treacle tarts.
06:01Some fish-eye darts at the front here would make for a better silhouette, don't you think?
06:05It'd pull in the waist without...
06:07Just open the pool.
06:09Yes, you're right.
06:12Clean the lines.
06:16Can I take your measurements for samples?
06:21Shall I?
06:23Yes.
06:24Thanks.
06:25I think it's too soon.
06:53No, I don't.
06:58And this is exactly why I wanted to work with you.
07:07Because you're not most people.
07:20I can't. I can't. I'm married.
07:22Well, someone should remind your husband of that, because it's been almost a year, Emma, and he hasn't bothered to
07:27come near you. Not even when he gave birth to his child.
07:29Please, oh, wait.
07:29Week after week, I say to myself, has he any idea who he married? Does he know you? Has he
07:34seen you?
07:37Because surely if he'd had even a glimpse of you, he'd not be able to tear himself from your side.
07:41I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
07:43I'm sorry.
07:44I'm sorry.
08:14Emma Hart, isn't it?
08:17Yes.
08:18How can I help you, Mrs...
08:20Miss Chandra?
08:22At least for the next few weeks, then it'll be Mrs. Edwin Fairley.
08:28That's why I'm here.
08:45Yes, I can see.
08:49It just needs the odd adjustment.
08:53All we have to do is...
08:54Burn it.
08:57It's a fairly alien they insisted I try on, and as you can see, it fits.
09:01Which is rather unfortunate, because it's an absolute monstrosity.
09:08I'm sorry.
09:09So am I.
09:10But I kept hearing such wonderful things about this place.
09:13I was hoping you could make it even a tiny bit less hideous.
09:17Let's see.
09:21I always imagined I'd get married and what my mother wore to her wedding.
09:25It was a beautiful red sari.
09:27Bold thread.
09:29But she won't be at the wedding herself.
09:36She passed away.
09:40I'm sorry.
09:42And to lose a mother, that's...
09:46I know.
09:48It's the worst thing.
09:50Yes.
09:52It is.
10:00He writes to you.
10:04Letters.
10:06Constantly.
10:09Though he seems to have no intention of sending them, so...
10:12I suppose I was always going to find them eventually.
10:19Why did you come here?
10:22If I'm going to spend the rest of my life with a man whose heart is broken,
10:26I thought I ought to at least have a good look at the woman responsible.
10:29If Edwin's heart is broken, it's entirely his own doing.
10:32I can assure you of that.
10:40You can look.
10:46Well, I'd have made me look an absolute fright if I were you.
10:50Oh, I considered it.
10:51It was a time I'd have ruined the dress completely.
10:54Anything to get back at them, even a little bit.
10:59I made a vow, you see.
11:02Spend the rest of my life punishing them.
11:04All of the fairies.
11:07And now?
11:11Sometimes I wonder whether, in doing that, I'm also punishing myself.
11:26Don't marry him.
11:28Not because I want him, or because I'm trying to ruin his life.
11:33I just...
11:34think you deserve more.
11:41He's good to me.
11:44And love can grow, I think.
11:48I have hope.
11:54I know this might be terribly inappropriate, but I really did want you to...
11:58I'll have it delivered.
12:00Thanks, it's finished.
12:24Sure, I thought you'd be pleased to hear Edwin's living a life of misery.
12:28Doesn't it feel good, Emma, to know what you built, all this, while he's been stood still, right where you
12:32left him?
12:32But part of me's been there with him, hasn't it?
12:35Wearing the ring he got me.
12:36Even pretending to have a husband at sea.
12:38Making sure there isn't even the slightest possibility I might one day be able to meet someone else.
12:46Are you ready for that?
12:48I want to be, I think.
12:52But I'm scared.
12:54That rage, the rage against Edwin, it's what's dragging me out of bed every single morning.
12:59It's what's keeping Edwina fed and safe.
13:01If I let that go, am I just going to get distracted again?
13:03Am I going to let my man down?
13:04No, Emma, that fire inside you is going nowhere.
13:08It's not rage.
13:10It's who you are.
13:11Rage was just the fuel there for a little while, but that can come from anywhere.
13:17It can come from love.
13:21You're right.
13:24Emma.
13:25Would you speak to him for me?
13:27Would you speak to David?
13:30You probably noticed how we are around each other.
13:34I never expected it.
13:36Tried to tell myself it wasn't happening, but...
13:39He makes me feel...
13:41I don't know.
13:43Excited.
13:45Fluttery.
13:47Hopeful.
13:48Is that bad?
13:51Never.
13:54What, um...
13:56What do you want me to say to him?
14:22I know I should feel guilty, but these past months with Adele away have been the best of my life.
14:37Delivery for you, Miss Chandler.
14:38Oh, thank you.
14:42My wedding dress, so best not to mention it to...
14:45Of course.
14:46Wouldn't want to bring about any...
14:48bad luck.
15:04What have you got there?
15:06It...
15:07It's, um...
15:08Oh, sorry.
15:09Is that the...
15:11Wedding dress.
15:12Yes.
15:13I had it altered a little.
15:15At this new dressmakers I kept hearing about.
15:21Really.
15:23Right.
15:25Good.
15:26Good.
15:27I hope you got...
15:29what you wanted.
15:46These are...
15:47for you.
15:49Mac told me about your husband.
15:51I'm so sorry.
16:05Why...
16:05didn't you tell me sooner...
16:07that he died?
16:10It was a while ago.
16:14I think I was scared...
16:16of us.
16:22Not worried about me being...
16:26forward.
16:30Worried I might.
16:37I was just going to have to check you're all right.
16:42Well, Mac says you are...
16:43to lose her husband.
16:46I feel awful...
16:47the things I said about him.
16:48You're right.
16:50Truth is, I...
16:52lost him a long time ago.
16:55Even before he died.
16:57you make me feel...
17:00you make me feel.
17:19I don't know.
17:59I don't know.
18:11We'll focus on the wedding.
18:13If you sense the conversation is turning to anything more serious, deflect.
18:17I think we're all pretty good at that.
18:18Now, Olivia, at the luncheon.
18:20Did somebody say luncheon?
18:22I love luncheon.
18:25Adele, we weren't expecting you.
18:27Mother, you look.
18:28I know, darling. Come here.
18:32Sherry, Mother.
18:33Shut up, Gerald.
18:34No, thank you, darling.
18:36Yes. Wise.
18:38We've had to switch to the cheap stuff in those two long months you've been on holiday.
18:45Still, it's here when you need it.
18:48Tea. We've got tea.
18:49I think I'll rest.
18:51Right.
18:52I've come a long way.
18:55But I'm so looking forward to hearing what you've all been up to while I've been gone.
19:21I may have got ahead of myself earlier.
19:26I had a plan, you see.
19:28Not much like them.
19:30What did it involve, this plan?
19:32Well, the first step is going to be persuading you to take a day off.
19:36I've not committed you out to hard work.
19:43It is time I took a day off.
19:45I need to go back.
19:47Home, I mean.
19:48See my family.
19:50I'm so out of touch with them.
19:51Would you be able to mind the shop?
19:52Well, of course, but this isn't exactly in line with my plan.
19:56I'm sorry.
19:58It's just any spare moment I have, I go to my cousin's to see Edwina.
20:02So going home, I think I've been scared of the reminders of my husband.
20:07But now I think I'm ready.
20:09You see my dad and my brother.
20:12Anyway, that's my plan for Friday.
20:14On Saturday, I'm very much committed to your plan.
20:19Two days off in a row.
20:20Oh, Emma Hart, you slacker!
20:46Oh, God.
21:02I'm sorry for not being here.
21:05Don't be sorry for that.
21:07It's a relief, if anything.
21:11I'm not just talking about when I left.
21:18I've not been the mother you deserved.
21:22Not for a long time.
21:25Not ever, perhaps.
21:33Do you remember when I was first learning to ride,
21:36being rather pathetic about it?
21:41And that night,
21:44my father made me sleep there in the stables.
21:48I was so against it.
21:50You came and I begged you to take me back to the house.
21:57You said no.
21:59But I had to face it.
22:00That it was the only way.
22:02I'm so sorry, darling.
22:03No.
22:04You were right.
22:07And you stayed with me right through till morning.
22:13And by then I wasn't scared anymore.
22:21You were,
22:22you were a wonderful mother.
22:25Until you weren't.
22:27And that's what made it so much worse.
22:31There have been so many times where I needed...
22:33I'm here now.
22:39What is it?
22:40You can tell me.
22:43I was trying to help.
22:44I really was.
22:45And I'm bloody good at it, Pug.
22:48Everyone says so.
22:51Things are so bad with the business.
22:52I thought that if I could make a bit of extra cash,
22:55then father would...
22:58I got reckless.
23:00And love.
23:01Oh, Christ.
23:03I'm in such a lot of debt.
23:05And father will be so upset.
23:07You leave your father to me.
23:10I'll fix it.
23:11I promise.
23:15I promise.
23:51I'm in such a lot.
24:27I'm trying to do your lunch.
24:29I'm making a right picture of it.
24:32I'm not hungry anyway.
24:36Frank!
24:44Where were you?
24:45Armley.
24:46In Leeds.
24:48Why didn't you send me an address?
24:51I didn't know where you were.
24:52We couldn't even write.
24:53I've been working all hours of the day and trying to get myself settled.
24:58What I am now.
25:01You don't look like you.
25:03We really sound like you.
25:05Frank.
25:06Please.
25:08I'm sorry.
25:09But listen, I've got so much to tell you.
25:13I don't care, am I?
25:15You can't just come walking in here after all this time acting like nothing's happened.
25:21I suppose you don't want these presents then?
25:23I've brought loads for you and for Dad.
25:27Come on, Frank.
25:28I'll help you clean this up and we can talk.
25:31Expecting Dad home for lunch, are you?
25:33They won't want to eat off the floor, will they?
25:42Why is this winter coat here?
25:44Is he home?
25:51Dad?
25:54Dad?
26:01Dad?
26:03I couldn't get rid of him.
26:05I couldn't get rid of any of it.
26:13I would have known.
26:15I would have known.
26:18In my heart I would have felt it.
26:20I know I would.
26:21I would have.
26:22I don't know.
26:24When? What happened?
26:28It was a fire.
26:31At the mill.
26:35Here around three months ago.
26:40He had to be the hero of course.
26:43Running into Sheffield.
26:48I wasn't here.
26:49I wasn't here.
26:53You are now.
26:54I'm sorry.
26:58Oh Frank, I'm so sorry.
27:03And of course we'll show you the church tomorrow.
27:06It's spectacular.
27:07Oh yes.
27:07Fairlies have been marrying there for centuries.
27:11To family.
27:14To family.
27:15To family.
27:16Family.
27:21I will look at them.
27:23Did you ever see a more handsome couple?
27:25Oh well, Adam and I tend a few heads back in the day, didn't we Adam?
27:29He couldn't keep his hands off me.
27:31I'm glad to say.
27:31But, Edwin is more respectful.
27:37Yeah, Edwin tells me that.
27:38I suppose it's different, isn't it?
27:40With a marriage of convenience.
27:42A tell? Convenience?
27:44In that it's conveniently good for business.
27:46My mother has an unusual sense of humour.
27:49Well, it is good for business, isn't it?
27:52More so for ours than yours, I suspect, Sir Vikram.
27:58Priya, it's so wonderful that you're going to be wearing Adam's mother's wedding dress.
28:02Oh, are you?
28:03That is wonderful.
28:05Something borrowed.
28:06You will fit in perfectly.
28:09In this family, you can borrow anything you like.
28:12For example, Sir Vikram, my sister has been borrowing my husband for some time.
28:16I do.
28:19What?
28:21I'm sure Priya knows, don't you, darling?
28:23She's been sleeping under the same roof.
28:24And if she doesn't, she ought to know what she's married into.
28:28I'm so sorry, Sir Vikram.
28:30The truth is, my wife is very ill.
28:33Oh, I have never felt better.
28:49Well?
28:51This was fun.
28:53Mm-hmm.
29:01I'm so sorry.
29:03Don't do that, Livy.
29:04Don't apologise as though it was just an accident.
29:07Some mistake.
29:09You wanted my husband and you took him.
29:12I've loved him for a very long time.
29:18Longer than you've loved me.
29:32Same old Aunt Lily then?
29:34Yeah.
29:35Remember when she caught Dad teaching us to whistle in the house?
29:38Satan!
29:38They're gonna summon Satan!
29:40I think Dad did it on purpose to wind her up.
29:48Could've had to come and look after you.
29:50But you needn't any more.
29:52You can come to Armley, help me in the shop.
29:54I can't.
29:55I'll be starting boarding school soon.
29:57What?
29:58Yeah.
29:58The families are paying for it.
30:00They've been of us the kind.
30:01Why would they be doing that?
30:02I suppose they threw their ear with a debt,
30:04giving our Dad's safe master of his wife.
30:07Edmund?
30:10Yeah?
30:11That's who we run back in for.
30:18Emma?
30:19Emma!
30:21Emma!
30:25Emma!
30:26Jack?
30:28Jack?
30:35Sounds really cool.
30:35It's all random.
30:35We're not dying right now.
30:42If there's like a monster in the house,
30:45we'll be fine.
30:45We hope he is dead.
30:45Laura?
30:45Thanks officers!
30:50We're gonna lose yourself anymore.
31:04What the hell were you playing at?
31:07Do you have any idea how important that marriage is?
31:11You're going to lecture me on the importance of marriage?
31:14Adele, the business is in an incredibly precarious position.
31:18Our finances are...
31:20For God's sake, don't bore me with the details, darling.
31:22I shall read about them in the divorce papers.
31:25We can't divorce.
31:27Let's see.
31:28Adultery, yes, we can be certain of that.
31:31And for additional grounds, I believe I shall go for cruelty.
31:37Cruelty?
31:39You are the queen of cruelty.
31:42Do you really blame me, Adele?
31:44We're seeking solace elsewhere.
31:45Elsewhere, perhaps not.
31:47But my sister.
31:49My sister.
31:52Why?
31:54Why did it have to be her, Adam?
31:57Because she is the only one who understood what it was like to watch you disappear.
32:05You caged me, too, when you locked yourself in this damn room.
32:08In sickness and in health, Adam.
32:11That was the vow.
32:12Remember?
32:12I spent years blaming myself, but you abandoned me.
32:16The second you saw that I was sinking, you let go of my hand.
32:19That is not true.
32:21That is not true.
32:21I tried.
32:22You drowned yourself, Adele.
32:23All I ever wanted to do was to please you, to stay on that pedestal where you put me, a
32:29perfect, proper little wife, to sit by your side at church every Sunday, and then to submit to your darkest
32:38desires every night.
32:41I have never done a thing to you that you didn't yearn for.
32:48That's absolutely true.
32:54You loved every second of turning me into your little whore.
32:59That then you couldn't bear the thought of being married to one.
33:06Get on your knees.
33:17I will never be on my knees again.
33:31If I am the problem, then why is it that Olivia and I have been perfectly happy without you here?
33:39You always were unfit, Adele, to be a wife and a mother.
33:46Olivia, though, she's wonderful at birth.
33:49Born for it.
33:51Just like you were born a dirty, rotten little.
33:58Oh.
34:12Oh.
34:15Oh.
34:27Oh.
34:29Oh.
34:31Oh.
34:35Oh.

42:11No fairlie will ever come near me or my family ever again.
42:20You can't tell me who to love.
42:23I'm a grown woman.
42:25I'm simply giving you a choice between Jim Fairlie and your future at this company.
42:31You don't even know him.
42:33Only her surname.
42:34Do you think it's a coincidence his interest in you?
42:37My grandchild.
42:38My protégé.
42:39Neither of us knew who the other was when we first met.
42:41Oh, come along, Paula, don't be so naive.
42:43The whole world knows I've been training you to be me, to take over everything.
42:48Of course Affairly would seek to take advantage.
42:51What if this isn't about you?
42:52As incomprehensible as that may seem to someone so self-centered.
42:57You have no idea what I have sacrificed.
43:01What if Jim loves me for me?
43:03The fact that you think I would want to be you,
43:07surrounded by people, but entirely alone.
43:10No, thank you. I choose life.
43:23Yes, Mrs. Hart?
43:25Jerry.
43:27Mrs. Hart?
43:28Would you call an ambulance, please?
43:30Mrs. Hart?
43:32I think I'm having a heart attack.
43:34Oh, my God.
43:37Mrs. Hart?
43:39Mrs. Hart?
43:40Mrs. Hart?
