Short filmTranscript
00:19I'm going to ask Jerry to arrange a lunch with your aunt.
00:24Are you sure, Randy?
00:26You know you're the only one of the family I trust, don't you, darling?
00:30You know, the family are all desperate to arrange a surprise party for your birthday.
00:35Oh, God, preserve me.
00:37I know you hate surprises.
00:38Well, they're just always so much nicer to give than to receive.
00:43Will you let me take that away? Stop me listening to it?
00:45No, thank you. It's good for me to get to grips with modern technology.
01:03Mr. Fairley, most mothers spend a lifetime loving their family, but our mother has spent a lifetime hating yours.
01:11Who do you think you are?
01:13I think I'm no one, sir.
01:17Apparently, every one of them wronged her, whatever that means.
01:26They're fucking me, aren't they? Because of last night, the dress, I'm dismissed.
01:29No, no, Father knows it was one of Mother's games. I made sure of that.
01:34But you're sending me to London.
01:37When?
01:38When?
01:38Right now. There's a carriage waiting for me. I couldn't leave without saying goodbye.
01:41They're waiting.
01:42Goodbye? How long have you been gone for?
01:45A month. I couldn't bear it either. The thought of being away from you.
01:49When? What does he want you to do?
01:51He's got it in his head that I can somehow improve the relations of the charcutters.
01:55Relations?
01:57With the daughter? I knew this would happen. I knew it. They want you to be with her.
02:01They're what they want. I want you.
02:06I have to go. Before someone comes looking for me.
02:10But, I...
02:11I've marked the date. So you can count down the dates.
02:14Just know I'll be hating every second with them.
02:16Until I come home to you.
02:18Edward!
02:21I love you.
02:23I love you too.
02:25Edward!
02:38I love you too.
03:01I love you too.
03:23It's good to go. It's not inspired again.
03:27I love you.
03:29I love you too.
03:30I love you too.
03:32I had to. No one's listening to me.
03:35Oh, God. What have you done now?
03:38Where are you hurt?
03:39Just a cut on her hand.
03:41Are you sure she's bleeding?
03:42I'm sure. Looks worse than it is.
03:44I think I'm dying.
03:45No, you're not. You're not.
03:47My hair!
03:48It's perfectly normal, darling. You're just working yourself up.
03:51Get Adam. I need Adam.
03:53I'm not sure where he is.
03:55You're keeping him from me, aren't you?
03:56No, no.
03:57Stopping him from seeing me.
03:59Calm. Calm and calm.
04:00I don't want to bother you.
04:03Emma.
04:08Come on.
04:10Come on. Into bed.
04:14We'll clean you up once you've had a rest.
04:16You tell Squire fairly.
04:18Tell him he has to come.
04:20He's my husband.
04:25Is she alright?
04:27No, she's quite the opposite of alright.
04:31And that's down to us.
04:32She was on my own long before there was any sort of us.
04:35Not like this.
04:37You'd know if you'd been to see her these last few weeks.
04:39I don't think you'd want me to.
04:40We must take care of her.
04:41Now more than ever.
04:44She's barely eaten or drunk anything in days.
04:47Not even a sherry.
04:48She's so desperate for you to visit.
04:52I know you're feeling as guilty as I am.
04:57Although you and I haven't...
05:01Not since.
05:03And yet we're laying together every night.
05:06We've shown great restraint.
05:10A cup of tea.
05:12A chat with her.
05:13That's all.
05:15It's just seeing her like that.
05:17When she's that bad.
05:19I can't stand.
05:27Right.
05:29See you at breakfast.
05:36Squire Fairley was just...
05:40I've not seen Squire Fairley this morning, Miss Wayne, right?
05:43I expect he's still in bed.
05:51I love my sister.
05:56Of course.
05:58And you're very good to her, Miss Wayne, right?
06:00It's not easy loving someone so unwell.
06:03It's been very hard on Squire Fairley, too.
06:06But since you came to help,
06:08you seem so much lighter.
06:11Do you think so?
06:12I say he'd be lost without you.
06:14We all would.
06:18I hope you're as trustworthy as you seem, Emma.
06:22I am, Miss Wayne, right?
06:24You have my word.
06:29I have been meaning to speak to you, though, Miss Wayne, right?
06:32Seeing as it's you who runs the house now, ain't it?
06:34You who makes the decisions.
06:37Why, is there a problem?
06:38I'm after solving it.
06:39The way Murgatroy does us doing all the chores,
06:41there's a more better way to do it.
06:42To get it done faster.
06:44More efficient, do you mean?
06:46Efficient.
06:47Yes, Miss.
06:47Exactly.
06:48Efficient.
06:49If we were to divvy the chores up different,
06:50change the order,
06:52I wrote it all down.
06:52I would think it can work.
06:54But Murgatroyd won't even read it.
06:57He's stuck in his ways.
06:58Thinks he knows better because he's a man.
07:03It's not up to him, though, is it?
07:05I can see you're in charge these days.
07:09Why do you have it with you, this timetable of yours?
07:19I've put a lot of thought into this.
07:25It's impressive.
07:28Truly.
07:30It's really very impressive indeed.
07:34I'll make sure it's implemented from today.
07:41Oh, and could you make sure there's some champagne on ice?
07:45Yes, Miss Wainwright.
07:46Are you expecting to be celebrating something?
07:47We're hoping to hear from Edwin today.
07:50It's been three months.
07:51Surely he's finally got round to proposing.
07:53So, there may be a wedding on the cards.
07:57I love weddings.
07:59Don't you?
08:00I've never been to one, Miss.
08:14Emma Hart.
08:16That's me, Dawn.
08:18All chimneys pointed in the right direction.
08:20What?
08:20You leaving today?
08:22Tomorrow.
08:22First thing.
08:23I'm a wanderer.
08:26You're not been crying, have you?
08:29She's got a bit of soap in my eye, that's all.
08:31Oh, well, I'd say that would be my fault.
08:32Let's have a look.
08:33It's fine now.
08:41I can't see anything.
08:43Not even an eyeball.
08:44It's worse than I thought.
08:48You're going to be all right.
08:50Sorry, Emma.
08:53Well, I was.
08:53Well, you told me you're abandoning me in this godforsaken place.
08:59Hey.
09:02Come.
09:04What?
09:05Come with me.
09:06Why not?
09:07I have a job on a big house down south.
09:09There'd be work for you too, I'm sure of it.
09:12Train leaves at six.
09:14I can't afford a train.
09:16Ah, well, I could just about cover a ticket for you too.
09:19No, I couldn't ask you to.
09:21Sure, you can pay me back when you earn your big fortune.
09:24What's keeping you here?
09:25What are you waiting for?
09:27What about my...
09:28Oh, your plan with a capital P.
09:31Emma, isn't this exactly what that was?
09:34Isn't this what your mother wanted you to do?
09:36This place is a dead end, my vorineen.
09:39The kind you get stuck in.
09:41And I cannot bear the thought of a happening to you, not you.
09:44I cannot.
09:46Tomorrow?
09:47I don't know if I can leave tomorrow.
09:49No matter how hard you work, or how talented you are, those people in my house are never
09:56going to see you as anything more than a maid.
09:58And me, a pair of hands.
10:00But somewhere else, a city where no one knows us, or we can be anything we want.
10:07Take the leap, Emma.
10:09I promise you, you won't regret it.
10:18Edwin.
10:19I've waited so long for you to come home, that I won't stay and watch you walk through
10:23the door and engage you to someone else.
10:26I let myself get distracted by a dream that we're never going to come true.
10:32But I can still make something of myself, that were always the plan.
10:36And that's why I'm leaving.
10:39Even though it breaks my heart to know, I'll never see you again.
11:02Are you real?
11:19Are you engaged?
11:24Are you engaged?
11:28Don't do it.
11:30I missed yourself.
11:38What were you waiting?
11:41At my heart!
11:44I have to go.
11:44Meet me in the Rose Garden as soon as you can.
11:47I'll wait.
12:00Oh!
12:03Oh, now you can't when I'm in this state!
12:06Turn away and go on! I don't want your eyes on me!
12:15What are you...
12:17What are you doing?
12:19Is it true?
12:22You haven't had a dream for days?
12:28Why?
12:36Because of the way you looked at me at the party.
12:40And the way you're looking at me now.
12:45It's the way you used to look at me.
12:48And I want you to do it every day.
13:16Oh, there you are. Did you...
13:19Was she... How is she?
13:23Sober.
13:25For how long this time, do you think?
13:27She's never even lasted this long before.
13:30I don't know.
13:31I suppose we should take each day as it comes, but...
13:35It was the right thing to do.
13:37Going to see her, I feel...
13:40Much better.
13:52Is that?
13:53Ah, yes.
13:55It's from Joe Lowther.
13:57I suspect you won't enjoy reading it.
14:02As a result of said reduction in quality, I've taken the decision to stop stalking your fabric, as it no
14:08longer meets the standards my customers expect.
14:13Where is Gerald?
14:14That's the third retailer in as many weeks.
14:17Ink's not even trying to charm a contract, I swear, if they find out.
14:20Is Edwin home yet?
14:21Yes, with no news, but I still think the connection between Edwin and Priya might buy us some grace.
14:32Emma.
14:33I've thought it through.
14:34I've thought of nothing else.
14:36We can do this.
14:37Not yet, maybe, but once I've got a degree, I'll get a decent, probably terribly boring job.
14:43Not one that can buy some manor, of course, but enough for a cottage.
14:47But they do want you to propose to her, Priya Chandra.
14:49I don't care.
14:50They'll never let you choose me.
14:51They disown you.
14:52Let them.
14:53Who cares?
14:55Be serious.
14:56I am, Emma.
14:57What about their money?
14:58It doesn't matter to me.
14:59You said like someone with not the first clue why life is without it.
15:02You're right.
15:03I need Father to keep on paying until I've graduated.
15:05But then I'll be free.
15:07You really trade your big fancy house for a cottage the size of your bedroom?
15:09I'd live in a shoebox if you were there too.
15:14You'd never fit in that.
15:16It'd have to be a hatbox, at least.
15:22You wouldn't have to rely on just you.
15:24If we were going to do that, I'd be doing my sewing so we'd have money from that too.
15:30I might even offer a shot one day.
15:33See?
15:35Yes.
15:36With my boring job and your not boring shot, we can't do this.
15:41With or without my family's blessing.
15:45You really pick me over them.
15:47I pick you over anyone.
15:50Stay with me.
15:52Stay right.
15:54Yeah.
15:55Always.
15:58So we can do more of this.
16:11I'm not going anywhere.
16:17Let's go.
16:22Let's go.
16:39Let's go.
16:45Let's go.
16:46Let's go.
16:46In this case, I'm sorry, I can't leave my dad and Frank.
16:54Not yet.
16:55And I think there might be opportunity for me here.
16:59And Miss Wainwright knows I've got good ideas and she's even listening
17:01to some of them.
17:03I think, maybe, there is a future for me here. After all.
17:14You can always come and find me, you know. If anything changes. For any reason. Anything
17:21at all. Just ask for me at the Lucky Duck in Armory. Leave a message. Should I move
17:28all about? Work. Girls. Parties. Someone in there generally knows where I am.
17:44I won't half miss you. Stay hungry, Emma.
17:58Remember what your mom told you. Don't let anything or anyone distract you from that plan of yours.
18:30I would like you to implement it immediately. Tomorrow morning, if possible.
18:35Yes, ma'am. Of course. I was disappointed to hear you just missed it after that.
19:00No. Come through.
19:06Yeah.
19:08What?
19:09Could you cover yourself up a moment, please?
19:12Are you talking to me or the door?
19:14Have you been drinking?
19:15Don't be silly, Adam. Doors don't drink.
19:16I mean you.
19:18I mean you.
19:18How am I supposed to know that if you won't look at me?
19:25Have you?
19:27Not a drop.
19:32Please, put the rope back on.
19:44I feel well.
19:47The best I've felt in years.
19:49Like I've been trapped in this impenetrable fog.
19:55And now it's lifted.
19:59What?
20:01I can see what it was hiding now.
20:04All the damage I've caused.
20:10It's all over me.
20:13I keep trying to wash it off.
20:17I can see what it is.
20:32I can see what it is.
20:34I can see what it is that you can absorb.
20:34I can see what it is.
20:35I can see what it is.
20:38It's gonna be gone in your night.
21:04Oh, my God.
21:16Oh, my God.
21:45Oh, my God.
22:14Emma, perhaps you ought to see if Adam is tending to Mrs Fairley.
22:17Perhaps he's forgotten the time.
22:22Sorry, Emma.
22:24These uniforms you made, did you use the offcuts from the mill?
22:26I thought you said that would be all right, Mr. Wainwright.
22:28No, no, no, it's fine.
22:30Just come here a second, would you?
22:37Looks like an excellent job was done there.
22:41I quite agree.
22:43So, do you keep you all waiting?
22:46Oh, here, look at this.
22:47Look at this.
22:48This is our fabric, you know?
22:50So, it may not be good enough for fine dresses, but it makes for a very serviceable uniform,
22:54doesn't it?
22:56Almost smart.
22:58Partly Emma's design, I think.
22:59But it goes to show what can be done.
23:01What are you thinking?
23:05I think we send one of these up to Joe Lowther, convince him of the fabric's potential.
23:09Most of his customers have staff who need uniforms, and nobody wants to pay top back for those, do they?
23:16Brilliant.
23:17It was always.
23:19You might thank Olivia Jones.
23:21She may have just saved your job.
23:28Thank you, Aunt Olivia.
23:32Emma, do you think you could make a sample of one of these by tomorrow morning?
23:35Yes, miss.
23:36For the usual price?
23:37Yes.
23:46Whatever comes, whether hardship, hunger, or sorrow, it cannot alter one thing.
24:06Listen, if I'm a princess in rags and tatties, I can be a princess inside.
24:16This is for girls.
24:18It's for anyone who wants to practice their reading.
24:20If you don't like it, I'll put it back tomorrow.
24:22No.
24:23No.
24:26Shut up.
24:28You won't go calling me Princess Frank or nothing.
24:34No point in licking another one.
24:36Borrowing.
24:39If you get caught, you'll get the sack.
24:42Sure.
24:44Just for you.
24:45I'll stick with this boring girls book.
24:50I'll be fucking right as good as this.
24:52You will.
24:53Just got to keep working like you are.
24:56I'm a bit proud.
24:59You and I.
25:04How much have you saved now?
25:07Almost 36 shillings.
25:09Hmm?
25:16Emma?
25:18Dad!
25:19Dad!
25:19I'm alright, I'm alright.
25:20I'm just tired.
25:22What's wrong?
25:24Emma's...
25:27Emma's asking if I can still play it to help her.
25:31I am not.
25:32She says I'm better than her.
25:34Better looking too.
25:35So she can't finish around me.
25:38You're so now, can you?
25:41Yeah.
25:42I'd like to do a...
25:44a button.
25:45Do what with it?
25:46Stick it up your nose again?
25:47I've never done that.
25:49What do you do when you're about to?
25:51Mum had to close up the other nostril and blow in your mouth till it popped out all covered in
25:55snot.
25:55No she didn't.
25:59Alright, come on button.
26:00Bed.
26:00Let's go.
26:02Well you two, you look exhausted.
26:04Nearly done.
26:05Promise.
26:07You can't say anything about dresses.
26:10I do no hard work when I see you.
26:13What about from you?
26:18You're in grey, are you?
26:21Proud of you.
26:25Don't stay up too long.
26:27I won't.
26:40We ought to get ready to go, I think.
26:42Emma should be bringing us the uniforms and then we could set off.
26:47I was thinking.
26:50Probably best for me to be at the mill.
26:52Given the growing unrest.
26:54Oh, right.
26:56Yeah, well I suppose we could go tomorrow.
26:58No, no, no, no.
26:59I think you should go without me.
27:01It was your brilliant plan anyway.
27:02No doubt, Lowther will find you much more charming.
27:06We do need those orders, Olivia.
27:08I've been looking forward to a day out together.
27:10But, yeah, no, I suppose...
27:11Me too.
27:16But there'll be other days.
27:28The uniform for you, Miss Wayne Knight.
27:32Thank you, Emma.
27:37Was there something else?
27:39Yes, Miss.
27:40I was wondering, might I come with you?
27:42To Mr Lowther's shop?
27:43I wouldn't be any trouble.
27:44I just want to watch and listen.
27:46Learn.
27:46No, well I won't be back until bedtime.
27:49I mean, we've only just implemented your rota.
27:50You want to take the day off?
27:51I'd still get everything done.
27:52I'd stay up all night if I have to.
27:56Give my word on that.
27:58You know I always stick to my word.
28:01I'm struggling to understand why you think this is appropriate.
28:06I'm sorry, it's just...
28:07Is my uniform what you're using?
28:10It's which I paid for, didn't I?
28:12Yes, but the design is mine.
28:14If I pay for something, that means it belongs to me.
28:16You do well to remember that, Emma.
28:20Yes, Miss Wayne Wright.
28:21Sorry for speaking out of turn.
28:29Stop!
29:01Are you sure you're ready?
29:04I'm sorry.
29:57I don't know.
30:04What is it?
30:19A success, then, with Joe Larva.
30:23Do I get to have you all to myself, finally?
30:27Adele's been getting all of your attention recently.
30:29I thought that's what you wanted from me to keep her happy.
30:32It is.
30:34It is. It is.
30:36But we did say that we would allow ourselves a little happiness to...
30:43What is it?
30:49Is it her?
30:50No.
30:52It's... it's me.
30:55I can get carried away.
30:57And that's not who you are.
31:00You're...
31:00Pure. You're...
31:03Good.
31:04I don't want to corrupt you with my...
31:07I respect you too much.
31:10What if I told you...
31:12Right now?
31:16I don't want you to respect me.
31:20I mean it.
31:22Do what you want to me.
31:24Do it.
31:28Hey now.
31:34Would you want to buff your head?
31:36Yeah.
31:38Uh.
31:42Uh.
31:46Uh.
31:48Uh.
31:51Sorry.
31:52No, no, no.
31:54No, you don't have to stop.
31:56No, no, no, no.
31:56I don't want you to stop.
31:57My head, I...
32:01I can't stop thinking of all this business with the retailers.
32:05They're dropping like flies.
32:07I think it's causing me more stress than I realized, despite your louder success.
32:13Maybe I'll sleep in my own room.
32:21Good night, my love.
32:22Good night.
32:23Good night.
32:49I'm sorry I, uh, I was worried with you not drinking.
32:55The night, sometimes they can be the worst for thoughts and, uh, would it help if I was here?
33:04Maybe.
33:29Good night.
33:43Good night.
33:52Oh, my God.
34:35Emma, thank God, I need you to help me.
34:43Oh, I didn't ask for that.
35:03I've always been an unreliable person.
35:35I've always been an unreliable person.
36:04I've always been an unreliable person.
36:10I've always been an unreliable person.
36:23I've always been an unreliable person.
36:26I've always been an unreliable person.
36:56I've always been an unreliable person.
37:04I've always been an unreliable person.
37:23I've always been an unreliable person.
37:34There are doctors also, I've heard, who can take care of these things for a price.
37:40Perhaps we can find one in Leeds or Bradford.
37:43You can butcher me up, you mean?
37:44No, I just meant it.
37:45That's what you want, is it?
37:46For it to just disappear?
37:46I don't know what I was to say, Emma.
37:49This is a catastrophe.
37:50You could say marry me.
37:52You could say let's go now.
37:57A cottage.
37:59A future.
38:00We already planned it, didn't we?
38:01You stood right here, only yesterday, promising me a lifetime.
38:05What does it matter if it starts today?
38:16I chose you.
38:18I had a ticket out of this place and I chose you.
38:21Even though me head was telling me to go, even though going with my plan, I got distracted.
38:30Promise me, Mum, I wouldn't.
38:32I do love you, Emma.
38:35We're too young.
38:36Young?
38:37Young?
38:37Is that the reason you're giving yourself?
38:39If you're going to be a coward about it, at least find the decency to be honest about.
38:43Why, Master Edwin?
38:48I'll have to leave, but I wouldn't be able to stand the shame.
38:53When will you go?
38:54None of your business.
38:56Soon.
38:58And I need money.
39:01I've only got five pounds.
39:03And I suppose that'll have to do.
39:06And I need a suitcase.
39:09Cass, I'll leave one for you with the money inside.
39:13Thank you, sir.
39:14You're very kind.
39:15Please, try to understand.
39:17Oh, I do.
39:17I understand exactly.
39:19Never thought I'd fall for it.
39:20Never will again.
39:21Emma?
39:21I won't be returning the suitcase since I won't be seeing you, Edwin Fairley.
39:24Never.
39:25Never again.
39:26Not for as long as I live.
39:38No!
39:41No!
39:50No!
39:51No!
39:52No!
40:02No!
40:04No!
40:05No!
40:10I don't know.
40:36I don't know.
41:07It's you and me now.
41:09It's you and me.
