00:04And, of course, I shall be in Rome next month, so I look forward to discussing your thoughts on my
00:11proposals in person.
00:13Meanwhile, my assistant will be booking my next week's appointments, as I shall only be on my business trip for
00:20another three days at most.
00:24The doctors say a week, at least.
00:28Nobody must know, Jerry. Any weakness just plays into their hands. I shall only be on my business trip for
00:35another three days, at most.
00:38And also, have there been any calls, Jerry?
00:45Hundreds. I've had Psytex on the phone day and night.
00:47No, no. Not work calls. Calls from the family.
00:52I've not let anyone know you're ill, Mrs. Hart. Your instruction.
00:57Of course.
00:58We both know there's someone who would want to be informed.
01:02If Paula knew you were ill, she'd be frantic.
01:20You're feeling...
01:22Better.
01:23I miss her, of course.
01:26But better than before.
01:29Better than...
01:30How fucking dare she?
01:32But actually, how dare she?
01:34Telling me who to love, then just swanning off on some mystery trip.
01:38She makes me so fucking angry.
01:41People that we love do that.
01:48I love you, Jim, Barry.
01:55I tried to stop.
01:59I don't think it works like that.
02:06Go home, Jerry, and tell that boyfriend of yours, when his show opens, I shall be wanting front row seats.
02:13Mrs. Hart, might this be a sign?
02:17To join an exercise class?
02:19To slow down.
02:21Take a holiday or two.
02:23Have a rest.
02:26Have we met?
02:29I'm Emma Hart.
02:56I don't know what you're going to do, but I don't know what you're going to do.
03:27I don't know what you're going to do, but I don't know what you're going to do.
03:30Thank you very much.
03:31Oh, Merry Christmas.
03:39Hello.
03:41Nice to see you again.
03:43Mr. Kalinsky, do we have any Turkish delight left?
03:46Oh, I don't imagine so.
03:48There's been such a run on it from all the big houses on the hill.
03:50You wouldn't believe how popular it's been.
03:53The fancy housekeepers have taken two boxes.
03:56But might we find one for Mrs. Easton, do you suppose?
04:03Thanks.
04:06Success.
04:07Well then, I'd better take both.
04:11Oh, and you'd be wise to add a tin of pork and one more jar of applesauce, I think.
04:16You're welcome.
04:19Good evening.
04:22Emma, it's Christmas Eve.
04:24Imagine there are stockings that need hanging, trees that need decking.
04:29Oh, tell Edwina I've put one extra sugar mouse in your basket just for her, so she is not to
04:35share.
04:36I can close up.
04:37You get going.
04:41Oh, I have an ulterior motive.
04:43I'm planning to steal cheese.
04:45Take whatever you can carry.
04:46And I mean it.
04:47I know your family's probably finished celebrating now that Hanukkah's over,
04:51but we'd love you and Flora to join us tomorrow.
04:54Joe's complaining he can't see kitchen surfaces for food.
04:57Our Frank can't come.
04:58Too busy working for his exams.
05:00And Mac's been goodness knows where for months.
05:03Mac always has a mystery girl or a party in every town.
05:06Both mainly.
05:08So, no, no one's coming.
05:10Which means there'll be plenty of room for you both if...
05:12Emma, I don't...
05:14I've been happy to help out here over the last couple of years, but...
05:19I can't just pretend to be a regular friend of your family.
05:24I can't.
05:26Merry Christmas, David.
05:42Merry Christmas, David.
05:43Merry Christmas, David.
05:43Merry Christmas, David.
05:44Merry Christmas, David.
05:47Merry Christmas, David.
05:48Merry Christmas, David.
05:51Merry Christmas, David.
05:52Merry Christmas, David.
05:54Merry Christmas, David.
05:54Merry Christmas, David.
05:55Merry Christmas, David.
05:56Merry Christmas, David.
05:56Merry Christmas, David.
05:56Merry Christmas, David.
05:56Merry Christmas, David.
05:56Merry Christmas, David.
05:57Merry Christmas, David.
05:58Merry Christmas, David.
06:06I think they're here.
06:08I just, um, I didn't...
06:11I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll leave.
06:13No, don't. I love you.
06:15Please.
06:17Stay.
06:24I don't come in here often.
06:27Well, I quite understand how occasionally it could be helpful to...
06:34She's everywhere.
06:40There's wretched potions of hers.
06:46Always mysterious.
06:49It's difficult this week, particularly.
06:53She loved Christmas.
06:55Yes.
07:01Oh, no.
07:02It's, uh...
07:03Sit down.
07:05It's all right.
07:06Sit.
07:14There's so many different versions of her on every wall.
07:18She loved it.
07:22I can't bear one mirror most days.
07:27Yet you are more beautiful every minute.
07:51She'll be wondering where...
07:56She'll be wondering where...
07:59There she is.
08:01Instead, I'm sad.
08:06I can't grab her.
08:12You're so concerned.
08:12I know you're working with her.
08:12They're so honest.
08:12I'm only one year long.
08:13I know you got to see him in between as well.
08:17I'm the incredulous.
08:19He's looking for you, sir.
08:20A very single one.
08:26And I think that Naomi wanted to worship her and her.
08:27I wish they'd have both a life better show.
08:29Welcome. You made it. It's been an age since you visited.
08:33Aunt Olivia.
08:34Oh, I love your earrings, Olivia. Thank you. Happy Christmas.
08:38You're here. Good.
08:41It's just me and the happy couples.
08:45Standards thriving, I hear. I've had nothing but good reports.
08:49Hard week, was it? At the forefront of world news.
08:53Festive joy at armly Christmas fate.
08:57It's what sells.
08:58Well, I'm glad someone finally worked out what does.
09:02Bloody newspaper's been a liability for us for years, but you've made it pay.
09:06I thought the plan was when you took over the paper that it would be nothing but hard-hitting journalism.
09:11I'm saving my stirring editorials about German defence spending for January.
09:18Dinner time.
09:20And drinks, perhaps?
09:21Yes, please. Drinks, plural.
09:24Oh, and then some kind of parlour game.
09:26Father wants to play a jolly game, Aunt Olivia.
09:28What do you think? Happy families?
09:31Wink murder?
09:32Gerald.
09:34Leave him.
09:38I'm going out.
09:46It's Christmas Eve. Does the casino never close?
09:49Listen, have you got any cash?
09:52None for you to lose.
09:55I thought the mill was back on an even keel.
09:59Since mother, hasn't it felt like being underwater?
10:11Yes.
10:14Are you getting yourself into trouble?
10:16I don't know.
10:17Christ.
10:18The interest these lone people charge up, and they're villains.
10:22Hamilton Equitable, they call themselves.
10:25Now they're threatening me with demands for repayment.
10:29And Father mustn't know.
10:30But I've all but promised them my firstborn.
10:36My boxing day.
10:40But tonight I have a sure thing.
10:42I can make it all back.
10:43And more.

15:55How was your sure thing?
15:57Sure things like marriages.
15:58Only fools expect they'll work out.
16:00I need more time.
16:02I'd throw myself at the mercy of these Hamilton-equitable people.
16:05Make them see sense.
16:06Man to man.
16:09I'll be late for lunch.
16:10Don't tell father.
16:24Oh, that's so good.
16:41Could have had the maids come in to at least do dinner.
16:43They have families of their own to be with.
16:45And you don't run up to Christmas.
16:50Obviously the shop comes first.
16:53But I must say I did hope that today...
16:55Today I have a million things to do.
16:56But you sit.
16:57Please.
16:59Sit.
17:02What time did you get up?
17:04I was hoping we might get to, er...
17:07lay-in.
17:08I fell short in that department.
17:09No, I just meant...
17:11Kate, Kate, Kate!
17:13She's wanting me all along.
17:15No, love, we don't have chocolate for breakfast.
17:17And the Yule Logs for later, so...
17:19It's Christmas.
17:20No, Jo, she mustn't.
17:23Not the whole thing.
17:25Oh, where's the hell?
17:25Don't give it to her!
17:27Oh!
17:28Now, look!
17:29The waste!
17:36It looks like you've got this under control.
17:39Anyone want to play a game?
17:46Lovely, just over there.
17:57Just trying to fill the gaps a bit.
18:01When we were children, Adele and I used to decorate place settings with people's names.
18:07You know, which cost nothing, of course.
18:09I didn't know if Edwin and Gerald would think it a bit silly.
18:12Too much, probably.
18:14You're doing a wonderful job.
18:19I just wanted to make it, well, if not perfect, then at least bearable.
18:29Where would we have been without you these last few years?
18:33And before that, I realise, for years, decades, we're always there.
18:46Oh, Olivia.
18:55Is that a...
18:56Adele's ring, yes.
18:58She'll be so glad for you to have it.
19:04Darling, will you be my wife?
19:08I...
19:09I...
19:10I...
19:12I...
19:12I...
19:13Oh, ho, ho, ho!
19:30Now...
19:31Where are the boys?
19:371968.
19:38Are you...
19:40Woo!
19:58Let's go.
20:24Oh, not today, Charlotte.
20:26What's to do there if it's shut?
20:28I'm fetching another Yule log.
20:30Also, I've had an idea about those beef and potato pies.
20:33They need shifting.
20:33Emma, it's Christmas Day.
20:35Be back soon, love.
20:36You won't know I'm gone.
21:02You look lovely.
21:06I suppose we should go downstairs.
21:09Yes.
21:10Don't want it to look like we're hiding.
21:16But first...
21:36It's beautiful.
21:41Thank goodness.
21:44It was a risk, but I know with my mother, remembering's good.
21:54And last year, our first Christmas, we hardly knew each other.
21:58So I can't even remember what I got you.
22:00Something unimaginative, I expect, like chocolates.
22:16I love them.
22:20Mmm.
22:22Oh, never mind the Balkans, Asquith.
22:26Asquith is the real threat.
22:27You're telling me that if the French went to war, he wouldn't follow them without a second thought.
22:31Like a shot, but it won't come to that.
22:33Well, better ask his wife.
22:35Asquith tells everything to his wife.
22:38And Lloyd George tells everything to other people's wives.
22:45Speaking of wives, show them.
23:04Oh.
23:07Congratulations.
23:13Edwin, I know this must be...
23:15I'm making an honest woman out of her, Edwin.
23:18And she is making me...
23:19The happiest man in the world.
23:27Congratulations.
23:31Aunt Olivia.
23:49You really must release yourself of it, Olivia.
23:54This shame of yours, this guilt.
23:59It's exhausting.
24:08So, excuse me, I have a bit of a headache.
24:16Your brother didn't save any days to join us.
24:21You're, Mitra.
24:22Oh, my God.
24:26Oh, my God.
24:33The best man in the world.
24:34Oh, my God.
25:0357 High Street, is that right?
25:06What are you doing here?
25:07I could ask you the same.
25:09But the gold letters outside give you away.
25:12Why have you come, Joel Fairley?
25:14Mr Fairley, to you.
25:17And I have a letter for Hamilton Equitable.
25:21Then I'd better take it.
25:25I'd place this to be, even if you don't.
25:27Mulled wine, mints, pies and the like.
25:29So hand over the letter, you've gone to all the trouble of bringing me and take your leave.
25:34You're Hamilton Equitable?
25:36You're in the money lending business.
25:38Only to you.
25:39Heard you got yourself into trouble, as the weak often do, and saw an opportunity.
25:42Now get out of my shop.
25:43Leave any correspondence you have on the mat, and I'll reply after Christmas.
25:47This is the best Christmas present I could ever have.
25:50Well, this hears me thinking that I had to pay that money back.
25:53The Hamels and Equitable is some kind of real firm.
25:56No, it's real, all right.
25:57Some little jumped-up housemaid bearing a grudge because she got rejected is no real business.
26:01Take that up with the team of lawyers who have verified my interest rates and the contract you signed.
26:06Now get out of my shop.
26:08And I want that money by tomorrow as agreed.
26:13Think you're clever, don't you?
26:15Where's the child, Emma Hart?
26:19I haven't got a child.
26:20Oh, come on.
26:21Where's the child you had that belongs to my brother?
26:24I did not have your brother's baby.
26:26Thank you, Pat.
26:29You're nothing but a whore.
26:30A good one.
26:31I have no doubt.
26:33But nonetheless, a whore.
26:36Edwin told me the whole sorry tale.
26:38Late one night, tears in his eyes.
26:40I don't know what story he's told you or himself, but I didn't have Edwin's child.
26:44Does your father know how much debt you're in?
26:47I know your game, Emma Hart.
26:49I know it's common practice with tramps from the working class
26:52that you'll turn up with your child at some stage to blackmail our family.
26:56Well, you've had enough money out of me.
27:02You know Edwin's married now, don't you?
27:07Not that his wife gives him what he wants.
27:11Not like you did.
27:13I'm sure I saw how stuck on you Edwin was.
27:17So I imagine you know how to move those hips of yours, don't you?
27:21Oh, come on.
27:22They were up willingly enough for Edwin, didn't you?
27:24And I'm not about taking his seconds.
27:28What's the matter?
27:29Or was like you were ready any time of day or night.
27:32As your Christmas spirit, Emma Hart, I can see you.
27:35Put on your little dress for me.
27:37I used to see you in my house.
27:40I was watching.
27:43You always knew what you wanted.
27:45And so did I.
27:47So did I.
27:49Yes, you do.
27:50I know you do.
27:52I can tell.
28:15That is the final deposit in settlement of my account.
28:27Get out because I mean it.
28:29I will kill you.
28:30I will.
28:31I like a tiger.
28:33I like you wild.
28:35Emma Hart.
28:35You are nothing, Cheryl Fairley.
28:38You are an insignificant man who's had every advantage his whole life.
28:43Yet the only way you feel like a winner is to use physical strength for approximately 15 seconds.
28:49Well, your body might be stronger than mine, but your resolve never will be.
28:52Your filthy animal needs will never match the lust, the fire that burns inside of me.
28:58Because my desire is destruction.
29:01And I'll never stop.
29:02Not ever.
29:03Not till I've ruined you and every other member of your self-absorbed, privileged and spineless family.
29:08You boring little tramp.
29:10And as for the money you owe, check your contract.
29:12I'm calling in your collateral.
29:17You, you, you couldn't.
29:18One signature from me and it's done.
29:21When I sign that paper, every brick of Fairley Mill will belong to me.
29:25And I'll leave it up to you to explain to your dad why you put it up as security.
29:28Because this is just the start.
29:29I won't stop making your family pay till every Fairley living mourns the day they ever heard the name Emma
29:35Hart.
29:41It's a happy Christmas, Gerald Fairley.
29:44From all at Hamilton Equitable and Hart Enterprises.
29:56Joe!
29:57Joe!
30:04Joe!
30:06Joe!
30:12Joe!
30:13Mm, mm, mm.
30:52Finally, shop all ship shape.
30:54All well? Feeling better?
31:02I got the Yule log.
31:04Well, that's good, cos we're gonna need all the supplies that we can get.
31:07Sure, if there'd been no Yule log, I'd have had my coat on and striden out that door.
31:13What's a Yule log?
31:17You came.
31:19You're here.
31:24Happy Christmas.
31:28Good morning. You all right?
31:31I am now.
31:33Max got a surprise of his own.
31:41Oh, I'm sorry. Hello.
31:46Emma, this is Laura, my friend.
31:51A special friend?
31:53Isn't that great news?
31:56It is. Of course it is.
31:59I kept telling Mac it wasn't a day for introductions, but you know what he's like.
32:05He did tell you I was coming.
32:10Of course.
32:12Welcome.
32:13Welcome indeed.
32:15And for goodness sake, let's have a drink, shall we?
32:30Hello.
32:32Ready?
32:37Hello, mate.
32:46Hello, mate.
32:47My hair is always looking at myした.
32:48Well, I look at it, I don't even know what I'm talking about hoy on the night, too.
32:48And I think it's always working.
32:52Oh, God.
33:20Oh, God.
34:04Am I an ill-mannered brute?
34:06No warning.
34:08And an uninvited guest in tow.
34:11Oh, a dreadful brute.
34:13Always.
34:17But always, always welcome.
34:22That's one you've introduced.
34:23So I'm guessing Laura's not like the others.
34:26The many others.
34:27That's nice.
34:28The lot of it.
34:30I barely know any girls at all.
34:40Not in danger of settling down, are you?
34:44Jane O'Neill.
34:47Jane O'Neill.
34:49It takes a special girl to get a proposal from me.
34:53Emma Hart.
34:57Do I still have a wife?
34:59Presents.
35:00We've waited long enough.
35:01all over.
35:02Hello.
35:38Later on, Pat.
35:40You can't give a man a present and not let him open it.
35:44Kiss it, Daddy.
35:46My love, your gift is outside the front of the house.
35:50Is it a treasure hunt?
35:52Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt!
35:55Outdoors? I mean, what needs to be kept cold?
35:58A beer?
35:59Not a beef and potato pie.
36:07Dad, it's more. Is it for you?
36:10Not for me.
36:13No, Emma.
36:14I know you want to be.
36:16Yeah, but I never dreamed it.
36:20Have you seen this?
36:23The car from my beautiful, hard-working wife.
36:27No more hardship for Emma Hart, eh?
36:31Well done, my poor name.
36:44I have an unimaginative gift I need help with.
36:49Nice.
36:50Well, my husband hasn't shown his devotion to me with cheap chocolates.
36:54No, these are definitely mid-range.
37:05I don't agree with everything Mr. Fairley says, but I'm sure he's right that your sister would want you to
37:13be happy.
37:15Who knows what Adele would have wanted.
37:19She didn't know herself, I suspect.
37:23All I know is how strange it feels with her gone.
37:30It's as if everything's gone dark.
37:36People leave us, but the love doesn't.
37:40You think you can't stand it, the grief.
37:44Then one day it starts to become bearable.
37:48The sun comes out.
37:53Olivia!
37:56Where have you got to?
37:58Olivia!
37:59Olivia!
38:05We can look for it ourselves all we like, but what we're all hoping for is that love finds us.
38:11Don't you think?
38:13Real love.
38:16The kind you don't have to question.
38:41No, thank you.
38:44You saw Edwin's reaction.
38:46He was horrified.
38:48And if we think that anyone at all will feel any differently, then we're lying to ourselves.
38:53I mean, for God's sake, I don't feel any differently.
38:54It is horrifying.
38:57So...
38:58I can't do it.
38:59I'm sorry.
39:00I can't.
39:00No, thank you.
39:11So it was all for nothing then.
39:19Adele's death.
39:21You broke your sister's heart
39:24She drank herself to death
39:26We all lost her
39:28We all suffered this unimaginable, utter misery
39:31But for no reason
39:38Olivia
39:41If we don't legitimize this
39:43If we don't show the world that you and I weren't just fooling around
39:49Then
39:52How do you explain what the hell you're still doing here?
39:55What's been going on in this house?
39:59How
40:01Do we explain it to the boys?
40:25Now
40:27Come on, it's Christmas
40:29What are we playing, charades?
40:44For my beautiful wife
40:46That needs the shop
40:49All three
40:50All in your name
40:52Merry Christmas
40:54I want to pay for them
40:56I mean it
40:58Have all the money saved
41:00Very, very fast
41:00Hold on, hi
41:02Yeah
41:09That car was some present
41:13Joe deserves some consolation for his absentee wife
41:17And he deserves not to feel
41:20Stuck
41:22Also
41:23You deserve a husband
41:24Who can speed you up and down
41:26In a fancy sports car
41:29He did want a car
41:32It's just
41:32It may be he wanted
41:35Other things more
41:42It can be lonely
41:45Am I right?
41:49Having purpose
41:50Being so
41:52Certain
41:53Every day
41:54Not everyone understands
41:57So
41:58It can't be lonely
42:07Laura's wonderful
42:09She's a good woman
42:11Seems stuck on you
42:14Can you blame the girl?
42:18She's not like us though
42:20Well, what a relief
42:21Well, she wants a quiet life
42:24Although, did you see her in the passenger seat?
42:26Screaming
42:27She was
42:30She's a dark horse
42:31Yes
42:31Tell you that
42:38I'm glad you like her
42:42That's important
42:48I'm buying the shops from Joe
42:50All of them
42:52And I've got myself a present too
43:01You're looking at the new owner of Fairley Mill
43:08Because when you're busy making sacrifices every day
43:12You deserve the odd reward
43:18You're doing it, Emma
43:21You're doing it
43:22You're doing it
43:22I am
43:23I am
43:25And I'm only just beginning
43:36Check the shops
43:38Emma
43:38I want to
43:39I want to
43:40Please
43:41To feel safe
43:46How was it?
43:47Oh
43:48She's a dream
43:49The car ran the wife
43:53Thank you
43:54I wanted you to have something you loved
43:58So did I
44:01Hey
44:04Hello
44:06Oh
44:10You're squishing there
44:12Watch out
44:15I'm flushing board, you know
44:18We wanted to surprise you
44:20How are you doing?
44:21Yeah
44:23Are you surprised?
44:24I am, my friend
44:25I am
44:26I am
44:28That's more important, eh?
44:30Than family
44:33Come here
44:43Where the hell have you been?
44:46You've missed quite a day
44:48Did you at least manage to buy yourself more time?
44:52Joe
44:55Mother was the only one who thought anything of me, wasn't she?
44:59This is about the debt
45:01Gerald
45:02It's just money, it doesn't matter
45:04It's gone
45:05The mill's gone, she's taken it
45:07Who has?
45:08Who's taken it?
45:09Your little whore
45:11Emma Hart
45:15Strutting around like she's anything more than just a tramp maid
45:20And she's dangerous
45:20And she's dangerous, she won't stop there
45:23But we can make sure she gets what's coming to her
45:26Can't we, Edwin?
45:29We'll remind Emma Hart who she really is
45:32We'll make her sorry
46:01Weren't we
46:02declared any second. If we don't go over there
46:04and stop the Germans, they'll bring the fight to us.
46:07What has that damn girl done now?
46:08She's punishing me and she won't
46:10give up. Time is not a luxury we have, gentlemen.
46:13The war has begun.
