Short filmTranscript
00:22The Countess is here to see you, Mrs Hart.
00:25Mummy, what a dreadful week for you.
00:28I just can't bear it.
00:30I said to the florist, your absolute best bouquet, though no roses.
00:33And the girl knew immediately they must be for you.
00:35How about that?
00:36Oh, those wretched papers.
00:38I was so pleased when you suggested lunch.
00:40Are you surviving?
00:41When have you known me not to?
00:43Hello, darling.
00:44I put Patsy's for 1.30.
00:45Will that do?
00:46Janet, I swear she saw Sinatra there only last Tuesday.
00:48My favourite thing to say is that she's done it all for her family,
00:50which is ludicrous, of course,
00:52for a woman who's spent every moment of her adult life avoiding her family
00:56and making grand speeches about bloody revenge.
00:59She's pathetic.
01:01There's a downside, of course,
01:03to making certain one's children never want for anything at all.
01:07And that's being forced to watch them stroll through life,
01:11taking everything in their path for granted.
01:13Mummy, I'm so sorry.
01:14What would you like to explain first, my love?
01:17Your detailed expose to the press of my confidential medical records?
01:21Or your use, too, Mr. Fairley, of the word harridan?
01:26I can explain.
01:27Well, I'd love to hear it, darling.
01:31Truly, I'd love to understand.
01:34Because everything I've ever done has been for my family.
01:54Oh, no!
01:56Oh, no!
01:57Oh, no!
02:09Time sheets, Mr. Farber.
02:11Thanks.
02:13It is all, well, at home.
02:21What about it?
02:22I know some of the staff at the hall were wondering if Emma might have been in touch
02:26with any news, around now.
02:33It's been months since we saw her.
02:36It's been six months.
02:39Six and a half.
02:44She sends money, every month.
02:47Postmark leads.
02:48She's got a good head on her shoulders, Mr. Fairley.
02:51She gets some weight.
02:53No address, no news.
02:55Don't want us to worry.
02:57Anyway, so congratulations are in order for your engagement.
03:04Have a later shift to keep awake.
03:20Is there any support?
03:22Good training, Mr. Fairley?
03:24Do you want toield the screen?
03:25Roach?
03:25No, no, no, no, no, no.

07:50months off maybe even three if I work hard in these last few weeks it's looking
07:54like another record-breaking day teamwork Mr. Lelder I don't think so when I watch
08:00what you selling you don't have a mind like a woman's at all yours is more like
08:05a man's is there a difference you're living here now are you got work to do is
08:16this the new cloth looks pricey it was supposed to be is to replace the fairly
08:21stuff Mr. Lelder the fact is customers can spot it cloth from the fairly mills just
08:25bad quality rotten some might say we've lost another cloth older more
08:34complaints about the quality a lot of that equipment is old and tired and we
08:40can't keep asking the men to work around the clock your usual grabbers who don't
08:43pay the plebs enough money now offering nighttime hours suddenly they have to be
08:46home for their team they're not the plebs they're people who have rights and
08:50feelings oh Priya you're back sorry long day oh you must be tired
09:05mmm Edwin Priya and I were hoping that tomorrow we might get down to the real
09:09business of the week wedding planning we should talk about churches certainly
09:16summer stage I was hoping we might decide on a date at least while I'm here
09:20because your father's a busy man so big room needs to make plans so we must get
09:28every wedding detail fixed must be ever he's preoccupied at work hmm good old Edwin
09:35doing all he can to save the business
10:06you

10:16you are you should be ashamed of yourself you don't just stroll in it with a
10:21month you come near it sure I'm here now when I can see she's been busy
10:30morning what the hell have you been playing that mr. R you should know your wife has been
10:35working tirelessly every minute the absence of anyone else bothering to mr. Klinski David
10:42this is not my husband this is just a friend a dear friend Mac you barely know

10:56closing time see you soon
10:59you
11:07brought
11:09you these I was looking for a vase like mother's you know that allowed the flowers to
11:15splay out remember she always had such a way with flowers
11:22Edwin rushed off early again
11:25But work never stops at the mill
11:26Not these days
11:28I mean, Adam's barely home
11:31I hardly ever see him
11:33He's barely here
11:36Do you need more hot water, darling?
11:38Or anything?
11:40Anything to eat?
11:46Darling
11:47Darling
11:50I wonder if maybe you ought to
11:53Get out
11:55Do you think?
11:57Just get away from this place
12:03I was wondering about Aunt Jessie's cottage by the sea
12:06Would you like that?
12:08With that little beach down below and the gulls
12:12And she'd love to have you, I know she would
12:14And you may just find that
12:21Adele?
12:24Adele?
12:31Adele, please
12:41Are those Lily of the Valley?
12:44Yes
12:46Glorious, aren't they?
12:48There's hundreds of them out there
12:50They do that
12:53They're invasive
12:54If left unchecked
12:57Lily of the Valley
12:58They will simply take over the whole garden
13:02You can't get rid of them
13:14Well, find that vase
13:34Oh, sorry
13:35We're closed
13:36Your guard dog not with you, no?
13:39Mr. Klinski just does the deliveries
13:41He's only being kind
13:42Oh, kind, is he?
13:44As well as handsome
13:50Like you were born to work here
13:53Yeah
13:59Emma Hart
14:01Are you going to avoid looking at me for the whole rest of your life?
14:05What's going on, darling?
14:17Dad doesn't know I'm here
14:19And he mustn't
14:21I can't take trouble to his door
14:25Not after, ma'am
14:28I haven't seen him
14:31I haven't seen him, I'll think
14:33How can I afford to bring up this baby by myself?
14:39Fine
14:44How the hell have you got yourself in this all, miss?
15:00It was a lad back home
15:03You don't know him
15:05He let me down
15:07Then I'll thrash the living day, lads, all of them
15:09No need
15:11He said he'd marry me at first
15:12And run away to join the Navy
15:18And this?
15:21So nobody thinks bad of me
15:25And also because I like remembering
15:27Remembering him?
15:28Remembering I won't ever again let someone make me feel the way he did
15:33Not till the day I die
15:36I'm remembering what drives me now
15:39What'll drive me my whole life
15:42Revenge
15:47Emma
15:48How are you going to look after the baby
15:49And work?
15:52I'm making dresses
15:54And I'm good
15:56I am
15:56I get such a thrill to see the money pile up
16:00I've saved up for two months
16:02Which means that when the baby's born
16:03I can stop a while
16:09Did you drop something?
16:10You know I'll marry you
16:13Emma Hart
16:13And happily
16:16It'd be an honour
16:19Emma, will you marry me?
16:25You're the best man I know
16:28I'm sure to marry you would be a privilege
16:29A burden more like
16:31Have you seen these shoulders?
16:33I could look after the both of you
16:36I know
16:38I know you would
16:41But I've got it planned
16:43I'm going to look after us myself
16:46Somehow
16:47I'm going to be a mother, Mac
16:48A mum
16:50I'm going to have a real baby
16:51It's the most precious thing you can have
16:54And more than anything I've ever done
16:55I want to take care of it
16:58Well I could have at least
16:59And I
17:00Mac
17:02You have the biggest heart I know
17:06It's bursting
17:06Which is why I want you to be able to give that heart to someone you love
17:09For real
17:11Not just a girl you feel sorry for
17:13Ah, Emma, but
17:14The answer's no
17:16It's a no with the biggest thank you in the world
17:28You might want to
17:31Get under that seat with the
17:33Sweeping brush
17:34The
17:35Dust is shocking
17:46Good morning
18:18Let me rent next door
18:20Let me rent it from you and open a dress shop
18:21My own shop filled with dresses made by me
18:24Give me one reason why not
18:26Oh, you only want one
18:27Well, which reason do you want?
18:29That you've no experience running a shop
18:31That you've no experience running a business of any kind
18:34That you're barely 19
18:35That you're pregnant
18:37Mr Lowther
18:38The answer to all of them is the same
18:39I can do it
18:40Mrs Hart, that's fanciful at best
18:42Two people are filled in that shop this year
18:44Two inefficient people
18:45Mrs Cleveland, her stock was shoddy and too expensive for its quality
18:48She didn't know her customers
18:49I do
18:50I know what kind of clothes they like
18:52And I'm good
18:53You know I am
18:54And you said it yourself
18:55I'm a grafter
18:56I can sell
18:56Which is why I can't afford to lose you from my shop
18:59You wouldn't be losing me
19:00We'll drive business to each other
19:02Right now, when people come in
19:03All they see is rolls of cloth
19:04With my dress shop next door
19:06You'll have a showroom for what that cloth can become
19:08Double your profits in a month
19:09Treble them probably
19:10Plus I'll be your best customer
19:12Every dress that I sell
19:13I'll be buying the cloth from you
19:14And the shop's empty, Mr Lowther
19:16Gathering dust
19:18I can take it off your hands today
19:19Now, this minute
19:21So you don't lose a moment's rent
19:22Mrs Hart, you forget I know your circumstances
19:25You live in my upstairs room
19:27The deposit on that shop is sky high
19:41I have enough in here for your deposit
19:44And because I know you're nervous about me
19:45Which you won't be the moment you see the profits I bring in
19:48I know you usually ask for four weeks' rent in advance
19:51But I have enough in here for eight
19:54It's all in here
19:57Take it
19:58Mrs Hart
20:00Do I need to remind you
20:02You're having a baby
20:03That's me to take care of
20:06And it's why I'm absolutely certain that this is right
20:08I know you're having a baby
20:29I know you're having a baby
20:29I know you're having a baby
20:29I know you're having a baby
20:29I know you're having a baby
20:30I know you're having a baby
20:30I know you're having a baby
21:15Oh, I'm sorry.
21:16No, it's fine. I was just...
21:17I was just walking home.
21:18You're allowed to walk where you like.
21:23Nice aim. You got there?
21:24I've sat through three days now of your aunt talking about bridal bouquets and of you and your father shouting
21:29at each other about looms.
21:31I had some steam to let off.
21:39Oh!
21:41Okay, let's see.
21:44Not bad, not bad.
21:45Not bad.
21:48Terrible.
21:50Dreadful.
21:52Well, they'll be wondering about dinner.
21:55Yes.
21:59You know, when you asked me to marry you, I thought we had a connection.
22:04That you were optimistic, like me.
22:07You seemed starry-eyed.
22:10And I wasn't sure if we made each other's hearts sore.
22:12Not too many people talk about hearts soaring in books.
22:15You probably don't read those kind of books.
22:18Not really.
22:20But you know the concept of hearts soaring?
22:25Yes.
22:26Anyway, I just wanted to say, not everyone gets that.
22:30The hearts soaring.
22:32That's not what life is, I don't think.
22:35But recently, stars have left those eyes of yours.
22:38And I know this engagement pleases your father, and he's not an easy man to please.
22:43But we could just walk away.
22:52There's a lot to be said for pleasing people.
22:56And not just parents.
23:00Priya, I wouldn't have asked you.
23:04I wouldn't have considered it if I had intended, somehow, to do my very best to please you, too.
23:15Well, let me know, will you?
23:18When the trying to please me starts.
23:43Mother, how are you?
23:48I suppose I wanted to see you.
23:53If you don't mind.
24:06Because everything just feels a bit...
24:09wrong, somehow.
24:12Priya's a sweet girl in many ways.
24:14Where is your father?
24:18He never comes to me.
24:20Your father never comes anywhere near me.
24:22Where is he?
24:25He's not back yet.
24:27I don't know.
24:28He's been busy at the mill.
24:29But does he not know that I'm here, Edwin?
24:33And I'm not nobody.
24:37I'm not nobody.
24:40I'm not nobody.
24:42But take your hands.
24:51Stop it!
24:53Get out!
24:57Sorry.
24:58Sorry.
25:01Sorry.
25:07Let's do it.
25:11Shut up.
25:13I'm sorry.
25:14Bye.
25:14See you soon.
25:16Bye.
25:17Bye.
25:21Bye.
25:22Bye.
25:23Bye.
25:25Bye.
25:26Bye.
25:28Bye.
25:30Bye.
25:41Shelves here, rails of dresses here and here, and a fitting area here, and also a range
25:47of elasticated skirts for pregnant women, and a chair for them, but also for people
25:51like you.
25:53Menfolk.
25:55And there'll be a fire.
25:56The shop will always be warm.
25:57And you'll pair to heat it, will you?
25:59Yes, and it'll be worth it.
26:00Because people will want to come.
26:01And every customer will be greeted by name.
26:03And Emma.
26:06In a few weeks' time, the baby.
26:09I'll manage.
26:49Fire!
26:51Fire!
26:53Fire!
26:53Fire!
26:53Fire!
26:55Oh my god!
26:56No!
26:56No!
27:03No!
27:06No!
27:26Oh, God.
27:38What's happened?
27:39It overheated.
27:41We sent you.
27:42No one in there.
27:45Who's in there?
27:46Who?
27:46My brother.
27:48Edwin.
27:48Edwin went through.
27:50That's the red one!
28:00Oh, we can do this.
28:03Oh, we can do this.
28:05Can't we?
28:06Can't we?
28:08Of course we can.
28:10I'm here.
28:12We're alone.
28:14We can do it together.
28:20Oh, God.
28:25Oh, God.
28:26Oh, God.
28:47Oh, God.
28:50Ah!
28:55Ah!
29:11Ah!
29:16Ah!
29:38Edwin!
29:39Edwin!
29:55Edwin...
29:56Yeah, Edwin.
29:56Am I harsh?
30:04Is there no thing in the horror world you got here?
30:33Mother loved to say I spent my christening pulling faces at the vicar.
30:39This is how mom must have felt about me.
30:42She'd be so sad there's no christening now.
30:46Vickers don't look kind to mothers like me.
30:51Who needs a church or a font?
30:57Now, what are you naming her?
31:00Because my vornine, lucky you, the decision's all yours.
31:03On account of her father.
31:06Your local lad, being off on his boat.
31:12Edwina is her name.
31:24Edwina.
31:27What an elegant name.
31:30Edwina Shane Hart.
31:34Named after her uncle Mark.
31:37Best man I know.
31:45Edwina Shane Hart.
31:53In the name of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
32:00May you be healthy, wealthy, and wise.
32:05No sense hadn't beautiful.
32:07Because look at her mother.
32:14She didn't even cry.
32:19So what has she got to cry about?
32:24What are you going to say when the registrar asks for her father's name?
32:31Unknown.
32:33Emma, don't go making her unknown.
32:36Don't give her that.
32:40Put me.
32:43Mac, it's such a responsibility.
32:46And now do I have to be telling you again about these shoulders?
33:01Well, darling, how do you feel?
33:08Safe.
33:10Almost.
33:12I'm beginning to feel me and Edwina might be safe.
33:16Sure, if that little girl's not the luckiest in the world.
33:21No one in my family is going to suffer.
33:23Not ever again.
33:37No one in my family is going to suffer.
33:44No one in my family.
34:12No one in my family.
34:13Oh, my God.
34:45Do you mind, darling?
34:50Stay, Olivia. Please.
35:00I will stay in this house while my son needs me.
35:03Then, the moment Edwin's well, I need to be too.
35:08I need to leave.
35:22My darling, I've not been the mother you deserve.
35:30And I'm so sorry.
35:33But I promise I will put this right.
35:38I promise you.
35:53It's all right. I'm coming.
35:55I just need help.
35:59I'll just need help.
36:22I'll just need help.
36:26Stop.
36:29Stop.
36:30Stop!
36:31Stop!
36:33Come on!
36:37Stop!
36:40Stop!
36:45Stop!
36:47Stop!
36:49Stop!
37:07You're my baby girl.
37:11Yes, you are.
37:13And Edwina, you are so loved.
37:16So loved.
37:18And I won't let anything happen to you.
37:22I'll take care of you.
37:26And you will have the best of everything.
37:30I promise you.
37:33You know,
37:35Notts Fairleys turned their back on us.
37:37Because they think they're better than us.
37:39That's what they think.
37:41And if it takes my whole life,
37:43all of my energy,
37:44and everything I've got, I'm going to prove to them
37:46that they're wrong.
37:51I will keep you safe.
37:56And if I have to make sacrifices,
37:58give a few things up,
37:59then I will do.
38:01If it means you're taken care of,
38:03I'll sacrifice anything in the world.
38:05I will.
38:06I will.

39:25for cousin Frieda thanking her
39:29and I've put in some lists
39:30songs Edwina like sung and so on
39:33because Frieda might not know what kind of song she likes
39:40I'm sure about this
39:41before me

41:01ah
41:27Oh, my God.
41:43All for me?
41:45All of this has been for your family?
41:47Well, I'm sorry to tell you, Mummy, but it's felt an awful lot from where I've been sitting, as though
41:51you've done it all for you.
41:53And where have you been sitting, Edwina?
41:55On which cushioned seats, on which velvet chaise long, and at which polished table have you spent your entire life
42:03sitting?
42:03Would we have starved to death, do you think?
42:05If you worked less and been at home more, or would we have eaten just less costly brie?
42:09I am struggling not to feel ashamed.
42:19If you have ever been in any doubt that I love you, Edwina, with all my heart...
42:29Or is there just a little bit of that heart that resents me?
42:33Resents all of us for not being you?
42:35Oh, we can't compete on the suffering front, of course.
42:39Dry bread, holes in your shoes, and if only your mother could have afforded a paracetamol or two, she might
42:43have lived!
42:46And there it is.
42:50Now, I feel ashamed.
42:52I'm not your only rebel child, but because I'm the firstborn, the first palmed off on a relative, the first
42:58lied to about her father!
43:03So what's next in your bold new world of skullduggery and initiative, Edwina?
43:09Well, I shall call my anarchic siblings...
43:11To tell them you fumbled it?
43:13To tell them that the plan may no longer be secret, that nothing has changed?
43:18We continue.
43:22And then who will you have?
43:26I shall have Paula.
43:45Paula!
43:48Paula!
43:53Paula!
44:01Is that you, Fairley?
44:03Yes, Mrs. Hart.
44:03He came in to collect the paperwork for the reopening of his magazine.
44:06Is that she?
44:11Are you seems to have been singing the М…"
