00:07Welcome back, Mrs. Hart.
00:09Oh, have I been away?
00:11Charming scarf.
00:12Oh, thank you.
00:14Spring, summer, yes.
00:15And just perfect with those boots.
00:17Now, my Cytex presentation at 11, yes?
00:20Oh, Paula's taking that on.
00:23Her last one was a triumph.
00:25We sent her cookies.
00:43Grandy, no need for big speeches, thank you.
00:46You know, I have apologized a million times.
00:48And there's no one in the whole world I admire more than you.
00:52Oh, you are doing this speech, are you?
00:54Are you hoping I'll send you biscuits?
00:56Grandy, you have to listen to me.
01:00They know.
01:01They all know you've been ill.
01:04Some source at the hospital.
01:06They're gathering the board in London next Monday.
01:09They've told everyone that you've been ill, and I'm afraid.
01:15They've got the votes.
01:17They're going to oust you.
01:19Hart Enterprises, Cytex, it's all to be taken from you and put in their names.
01:25Edwina.
01:26Yes, along with Uncle Kit, Uncle Robin and Aunt Elizabeth.
01:30I'm so sorry.
01:31What can I do?
01:38I see you've been dabbling in lycra.
01:41Oh, our new leisure wear range.
01:43You'll hate it, I'm sure, but I'm convinced it's the next big thing.
01:46Well, looks very comfortable.
01:53Zip fastening on the side would improve the lines.
01:58Leave me, would you, Paula?
02:00I'm suddenly very tired.
02:20Henry, it's Emma.
02:23I've decided I would like to go ahead.
02:27Yes, please.
02:29And we're to be certain it's absolutely watertight.
02:36My birthday?
02:38Not a thing, I imagine.
02:41What use are birthdays?
02:43Happy birthday to you.
02:48Happy birthday to you.
02:51Happy birthday, dear kid.
02:56Happy birthday to you.
03:01Right, who wants a slice?
03:03Me.
03:04Cheers, please.
03:09This is madness.
03:11Pretending everything's fine.
03:13Throwing a party when we all know war could be declared any second.
03:16We'll be waiting either way.
03:18Might as well eat cake while we're doing it.
03:22Mac, business has been slowing down for months.
03:24I've had to take out loans.
03:26What does Joe say?
03:29Emma, you haven't told him.
03:32He won't hear it.
03:32He's convinced himself war won't happen.
03:34Well, maybe he's right.
03:35He's not.
03:37I need a plan.
03:41Never let a problem that can't be solved.
03:44You had Emma horseplay?
03:48Emma.
03:49Mac.
03:50Family photograph.
03:51Everyone in.
03:53Come on.
03:58Come on, put your arm around your wife, man.
04:28Excuse me.
04:29Sorry.
04:30No, no, no, no!
04:59Did you see?
05:00The government's going to be accepting bids for uniform manufacturers.
05:03This is it, Mac.
05:05This is how we're going to survive it.
05:08Now, I know what you're thinking.
05:09Why would they award a contract to someone who's made their name in ladies' wear, especially a woman, but I
05:13think...
05:13So you're going to start manufacturing the material before you've even won the contract?
05:18To make sure I win the contract.
05:20They can't say no, can they?
05:21Yeah, but the cost of it...
05:24It's a risk.
05:25I know it is.
05:27But the only way I can make it work is...
05:30If I sell the shops.
05:34No.
05:36No, you built those with your own blood, sweat and tears.
05:38You can't just give them up.
05:39If I don't do something drastic, the debt collectors will take them anyway.
05:47You don't think I can do it?
05:51I think you can do anything, Emma.
05:56What can I do to help?
06:02Like...
06:03Well, you're going to be careful.
06:15Good night.
06:17Mike.
06:22It's James.
06:38Ah, what a blessing, being able to have breakfast together again, both of us, with our wives.
06:45So you've settled back into your old room, have you?
06:48Yes, fine, thank you.
06:50Well, we do appreciate you giving up the house.
06:53Don't we, Adam?
06:54Yes.
06:55And once finances are back on track, we'll find you a new place.
06:59That might not be necessary.
07:01Oh?
07:03I'm signing up.
07:14Ladies, would you leave us for a moment, please?
07:17Of course.
07:27I thought you'd be pleased.
07:29You never pass off the opportunity to speak about your days at Sandhurst.
07:32If I thought this was in any way an honorable war, I'd be commending your bravery.
07:36But it isn't ours to fight.
07:39Asquith is leading our soldiers to catastrophe.
07:41Only a fool would volunteer.
07:43And I suppose I'm a fool.
07:45You do remember we own a newspaper.
07:48Yes?
07:50It's the one thing people will still be buying, Edwin.
07:54Do you have any idea how close we are to losing this house?
07:57You'll manage without me.
07:59Why?
08:01Why are you so set on this?
08:07It's the only way to make it stop.
08:09What are you talking about?
08:15Emma Hart.
08:17Emma Hart.
08:19What has that damn girl done now?
08:21It's what I did to her, Father.
08:24That's the why.
08:26Emma Hart is hell-bent on destroying us.
08:29It's why she took our mill.
08:31She's punishing me, and she won't give up until I've suffered as much as she has.
08:36So this is what?
08:38For a suicide mission?
08:39What could you have possibly done that was so terrible that you risked your life as recompense?
08:47What?
08:49Emma and I were involved romantically.
08:56I'm sorry, Father.
08:58She fell pregnant, and I panicked.
09:02Took no responsibility.
09:04All but sent her away entirely alone.
09:14And?
09:18What were you supposed to do?
09:20Marry her?
09:24Did you not just hear what I said about the-
09:27Oh, yes.
09:28Yes.
09:29Gerald told me years ago there was a child.
09:34You knew?
09:37And you're not angry?
09:39Well, it's not ideal.
09:41Obviously.
09:43But boys will be boys.
09:45Needs must be met, and inevitably the sort of girls who are willing are only going to be found in
09:49the servants' quarters.
09:50That?
09:52Not with Emma.
09:53It was-
09:54What?
09:56Love?
09:57More than love.
09:59It was everything.
10:00Whatever silly infatuation you think you had, Edwin, it hardly justifies traipsing off to France with a very real possibility
10:08you won't return.
10:09I understand the risks.
10:11It's what I have to do.
10:13And I'm sorry, Father.
10:15You won't change my mind.
10:25Good morning, everyone.
10:27Now, I know this is an uncertain and anxious time for us all, so I'll get straight to the point.
10:35From today, my mills and the factory will halt production on the usual hat fabrics and designs, to produce only
10:43a durable wool for military uniforms, which we will eventually be making on an exclusive basis for the duration of
10:49the war.
10:50Unfortunately, this will mean the closing and sale of my shops.
10:55But please don't worry. None of you will be out of work. You're all needed elsewhere.
11:00Those of you who wish to volunteer, I will continue to pay your wages to your families.
11:04Then when you return, your jobs will be here waiting for you.
11:06While you're out there, fighting to protect our future, we'll be doing everything we can to protect yours.
11:14Are there any questions?
11:15Yes.
11:17I have a few.
11:20You're selling my shops?
11:21I'm selling my shops.
11:23I bought them from you at full price. The deeds are in my name.
11:26I don't care about the deeds, Emma. These shops belong to my father.
11:30If you pull the wallpaper down in that corner, you'll see where my mother marked my height every birthday.
11:34Those memories will still exist with or without these buildings.
11:37Perhaps you don't understand what a precarious position we're in.
11:40Who is this we? You talk like we're a team, but you didn't think to ask or even tell me
11:44that you're selling my father's legacy.
11:46These are not normal times. Wouldn't your father want you to do what's needed to survive?
11:51Or maybe that's the problem. Survival isn't something you've ever had to think about before.
11:55What's that supposed to mean?
11:56These shops were handed to you, just like everything else in your life.
12:00That doesn't mean I didn't work hard.
12:01Can't you just trust that I have explored every option and this is the one that'll see our family through
12:06this wretched war?
12:07Do you have so little faith in me?
12:08No. That's not fair, and you know it. I had faith in you the second I saw you.
12:14I gave you a job, remember? And less than a year, I let you a shop. And then another, Emma.
12:19I don't think there's anybody in this world who has more faith in you than I do.
12:24Mac had no doubts. Not one.
12:30Laura, please.
12:31I think I said it. I didn't work.
12:34Laura.
12:35Emma, I've talked and sent him to him, please. I'll listen to you.
12:37What's going on?
12:39He's signing up.
12:41Sacrificing himself for a country that's not even here.
12:43Laura.
12:43My husband's going to give his life for the whim of a government who won't give women the vote,
12:47and I'm supposed to just accept it.
12:48You seem a bit rash, Mac. It's early days.
12:51I'm not doing this for the government or the king. Can't you see?
12:56If we don't go over there and stop the Germans, they'll bring the fight to us.
12:59There's no doubt it'll reach these shores.
13:02That'll take months.
13:03Yes, the war will be over by Christmas.
13:06And what if it's not?
13:09But I can't sit here waiting for them to come to us.
13:14I have to do this to keep you safe.
13:18But we don't want you to.
13:20Do we Emma? Tell him.
13:22He's right.
13:25We have to do what we can, no matter how risky.
13:28It scares me. Of course it does.
13:29I couldn't bear the thought.
13:33But we can't be ruled by fear.
13:35This is bigger than all of us.
13:38We've got good lives that we've worked hard for.
13:41People to protect.
13:44If we don't fight tooth and nail in whatever way we can,
13:47God knows what that'll mean for our children.
13:50Doing nothing.
13:52Isn't that the biggest risk of all?
14:14We'll be with you in just a second.
14:15Feel free to browse.
14:19There she is.
14:22Emma Hart.
14:25Look at you.
14:28How far you've come.
14:38You should know that Edmund
14:40told me everything.
14:43He's got it into his head that he has to...
14:49He's volunteering to fight, punishing himself for what happened between the pair of you.
14:56Now, if what Edmund says is true and your feelings for each other were in fact genuine,
15:01then I'm sure you don't want his life at risk any more than I do.
15:08So, I thought you could write him a letter
15:13saying that you forgive him, absolving him.
15:17Maybe, just maybe, he'll see sense.
15:23No.
15:30No.
15:31A word you're unfamiliar with, Squire.
15:34I'm not as well read as you, but I believe if you look it up in the dictionary,
15:37it means there'll be a cold day in hell before I do any such thing.
15:43Emma.
15:45My son could die.
15:46And that has absolutely nothing to do with me.
15:56Oh, you used to remind me so much of your mother.
16:00But I can see now, you're quite different.
16:04What do you know about my mother?
16:06Oh, she didn't tell you.
16:08Elizabeth.
16:09She used to serve our family much like you did.
16:12I was very fond of her.
16:17Elion.
16:17We spent a wonderful summer together.
16:20Out on the moors.
16:21In the caves.
16:23On top of the world.
16:26Only, she was able to see our time together for what it was.
16:30She didn't bear a grudge.
16:32And I'm asking you to do the same.
16:35Find it in your heart to forgive.
16:39I think it's what your mother would want.
16:47Why didn't you help her?
16:52She could have lived.
16:55If we could have got a doctor to see her, to give her medicine.
16:59You could have paid for that.
17:03I, uh...
17:04My father ran into a burning building to save your son.
17:07He gave his life for him.
17:09You wouldn't even give one penny for my mother's.
17:11That's hardly fair.
17:12No such thing as fair.
17:14Not in this world, though I see why you believe in it.
17:16Since every coin you've ever tossed has landed heads up.
17:18But that is just luck.
17:19All I'm trying to do is protect my child.
17:21Edwin is a grown man who is choosing to put himself in the line of fire.
17:25My mother never had a choice her whole life.
17:28No need to get upset.
17:29Oh, I'm not upset.
17:29I am burning with rage.
17:31And that will never change.
17:33You, your sons, your wife, you destroyed my family.
17:36And you could be quite sure I will not rest until I've destroyed yours.
18:02I am burning with you.
18:32I don't know.
19:09I don't know.
19:19I don't know.
19:21I don't know.
19:22I'll be up soon.
19:24It's already morning.
19:26Been here all night.
19:29I'm sorry.
19:33I've been thinking.
19:35And we need to give ourselves the best possible chance of winning the military uniform contract.
19:41So that's why I think...
19:47You should do the presentation.
19:49What?
19:50Perform it, I mean.
19:51I'll write it.
19:52Or we can write it together.
19:53And practise it over and over until you know it back to front.
19:56Emma!
19:56I know you're angry with me.
19:57About the shops.
19:59But this is for our family.
20:00For the children.
20:01Those lords are never going to give the contract to a woman.
20:04They want someone who looks like them.
20:06A man they can trust in.
20:07And I don't know a more trustworthy man than...
20:09I've signed up.
20:17Joe.
20:20Is this because Mac?
20:23I'm not daft, Emma.
20:26I wouldn't risk leaving our children without a father just to prove to you I'm as much of a man
20:30as he is.
20:32I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
20:36But how could I ever look them in the eye?
20:40Kit and Edwina.
20:42If I didn't do everything I could to protect them.
20:47But...
20:48I need you.
20:53Sorry Emma.
20:56I didn't know.
21:00You never have done before.
21:22People worried the Boer War would last for years. Look how quickly that ended.
21:27Weren't there two Boer Wars?
21:30Yes. The second one lasted three years.
21:35Still, I'm sure that this time next year we'll all be back to our normal lives and everyone will be
21:39so grateful to you for your bravery, Edwin.
21:42Yes, I'm sure you'll be a huge asset on the battlefield with all your experience building pens and fanning about
21:48the newsroom.
21:50I'm looking forward to the parades when it's over.
21:53I expect there'll be some.
21:55Yeah, it's a parade.
21:56That should make all the death worth it.
22:03What?
22:04He's obviously not coming.
22:05He is.
22:08No.
22:10He isn't.
22:23Everyone's wondering where you are.
22:26I thought you'd be too busy drinking champagne, toasting the stupidest decision that everyone's ever made.
22:33Adam.
22:36It's not too late to tell him how you feel.
22:39I made that perfectly clear.
22:50I don't want you to have any regrets.
22:53They're poisonous.
22:56I wish I'd told Adele.
22:57Yes, perhaps if you had, instead of whatever it was you said that drove her back to the drink, she'd
23:03still be here.
23:19Edwina, love, listen, do you understand what Daddy's saying?
23:24I've got to go away for a little while.
23:26Can I come?
23:28No, love.
23:30Daddy's got an important job to do.
23:33I'll be back before you know it.
23:35For Christmas?
23:39Yeah.
23:41For Christmas.
23:44Yeah.
23:49You should sleep.
23:52You'll need it.
23:58It's for the birthdays.
24:02I've got up to Edwina's 16th, which is impossible to imagine, isn't it?
24:12Will you, um...
24:16Will you, um...
24:17I've forgotten...
24:23You will.
24:24Uh...
24:30Uh...
24:32I..
24:50It's like that...
24:52Uh...
25:57Edwin?
26:00Yes?
26:02I hope you find peace.
26:07I know that's a strange thing to say, given that it seems to me as though that's what you're looking
26:14for.
26:16That's what you've always been looking for.
26:20You might be right about that.
26:23But...
26:27I'm not sure I deserve it.
26:42I'm sorry.
26:45I know who you wanted this to be.
26:49I never should have pretended I was capable of giving you what you wanted.
27:12You shouldn't wait for me.
27:15Whatever happens, don't wait.
27:19You deserve that heart-soaring love you've always dreamed of.
27:26The kind you had with Emma.
27:34How?
27:35I found the letters.
27:38Okay.
27:41That's why I had to alter my dress.
27:45I wanted to meet her.
27:49I can see why she made you heart-soaring.
27:54I'm sorry you lost her.
27:58I'm sorry, why?
27:59I'm sorry.
28:04I don't know.
28:34I don't know.
28:59I don't know.
29:10Safe travels.
29:12Safe travels.
30:40I love you.
30:45If you go on, then that's okay.
30:51It's never made me regret a second of it.
30:55It's a privilege being your husband, but that's one that I won't let go of easily.
31:01So you can be sure I will find my way back to you.
31:28I told you, didn't I? I'm no good at these.
31:32It wasn't good by then and it isn't now. Don't even say it. Say see you soon because you will.
31:39You have to.
31:41There's no me without you Shane O'Neil. Not since that first morning we met on the Mars.
31:48So don't go being the hero. I know that will be hard for you, but I need you back here.
32:04See you soon Anna.
32:17There's a lot of stickers.
32:20Oh, it's never done.
32:23They're gone.
32:29No.
32:32No.
32:34No.
32:35No.
32:38Oh, my God.
33:16Oh, my God.
34:02Oh, my God.
34:07Listen to this.
34:09Remember to drink your tea while it's still hot.
34:11You often set it aside and forget when you're lost in your work.
34:15I swap it for a fresh one before you notice.
34:18And I've left a shawl on the back of your chair.
34:21Use it.
34:23You always feel the cold when the evening draft creeps in.
34:28He knows you pretty well.
34:30What are we supposed to do with that?
34:34Carry on.
34:41You should stay.
34:43Stay here.
34:45Not just tonight, but until they come home.
34:49Get each other through it.
34:57But we won't be wallowing.
35:00You've got your presentation.
35:02I can't win without you.
35:03They'll never take me seriously.
35:04That's what a woman would say.
35:07Now, a man with all your achievements and a proposal as good as yours, he would go in there and
35:14act like he'd already won.
35:22Adam.
35:24She killed my son.
35:27What?
35:28Who has?
35:31Adam, Edwin's not dead.
35:34He's...
35:34She'll pay.
35:36I'll make sure that woman pays.
35:39Who?
35:42In my heart.
35:46Dearest Joe,
35:47I don't know when or even if this letter will reach you,
35:51but I have to try
35:52to tell you how sorry I am.
35:56Because you're right,
35:57a marriage should be about two partners,
35:59and I regret more than anything
36:01that I never gave you the chance to be mine.
36:05I've been so proud,
36:06so stubborn,
36:08thinking I had to do it all on my own,
36:10that I didn't notice the sacrifices you made,
36:13the quiet strength you were offering.
36:16How you loved me,
36:18supported me,
36:19and trusted me,
36:20without asking for anything in return.
36:24It was unforgivable deciding to sell the shops,
36:27so I've taken them off the market.
36:30Yes,
36:31yes,
36:31we are in significant debt,
36:33but some things are more important than money.
36:46I have every faith that I'll win the bid for the military uniform contract,
36:51just as I have every faith that you'll come home to me.
36:55And when you do,
36:56Joe,
36:57I'll be the partner you deserve.
36:59I promise you that.
37:24Gentlemen,
37:26our men,
37:26fathers, brothers, sons, husbands, including my own, are out in the fields of France fighting
37:32for king and country. The least we can do is provide them with the best possible uniforms
37:37to aid their path to victory, the most durable wool, the most functional designs, and I am the
37:42person to make that happen. I know I'm not the usual sort to stand before you, as you've likely
37:48observed. I'm not a man. But I ask you to pay attention not to who I am, but to what
37:57I'm
37:57offering. I am the proud owner of two mills and a factory full of workers poised to begin sewing
38:03our soldiers' uniforms immediately, subject to your approval of my designs. I've already begun
38:08producing the fabric needed at my own cost. I knew that inflation on the price of raw materials
38:14would be coming, and fast. So the day war was declared, I secured the wool needed to
38:18make 16,000 uniforms at a price of one shilling per pound. If you were to buy that wool today,
38:23you wouldn't be able to get it for less than one shilling and three pence. Tomorrow, it will
38:28be higher. And that's how I know that not one of the men you've heard from so far will
38:32be able to offer you a more competitive price than I can. Time is not a luxury we have, gentlemen.
38:37The war has begun. Pick me, and not only can I offer you the highest quality at the lowest
38:41price, but I can begin today.
38:50I've had an idea. And it's rather brilliant, if I do say so myself.
38:55Oh, well, let's hear it. You should join the VAD.
38:59We can train together.
39:01Oh.
39:01It'll be so much more fun if it's the two of us. I really think you'd get something out
39:05of it.
39:07Well, I don't think so.
39:08Why not?
39:10Well, I don't think Adam would... I mean, he needs me here, especially with Edwin gone.
39:16And what about what you need?
39:18Well, I... I don't... I'm... I'm fine.
39:24Are you?
39:26Yes.
39:30What?
39:31Nothing. It's just...
39:34You seem to spend a lot of time worrying about Mr Fairley's needs, but...
39:39He doesn't seem to give yours a second thought.
39:42What a thing to say. That's not true.
39:47Isn't it?
39:48No. I...
39:50Look, I know Adam can be...
39:55But he's been through an awful lot. I mean, he lost his wife.
39:58And you lost your sister?
40:00Yes, yes, I did. I lost her. We both lost someone that we adored that day. And it was
40:05my fault, because I broke Adele's heart. I betrayed her. I drove her back to the drink.
40:09You broke her heart? All on your own? And what about Mr Fairley?
40:13I was the last person to speak to her.
40:16No, you weren't.
40:17I was.
40:19No, it was...
40:21Mr Fairley.
40:23I heard him, in Mrs Fairley's room, arguing, saying the cruelest things, only a few hours
40:29before she...
40:31I said, are you making this up?
40:34No.
40:36I swear.
40:40Thank you so much, God Acton. I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity.
40:44You're welcome.
40:45You've got my details, haven't you?
40:46If you have any further questions...
40:47Charles!
40:49Adam Fairley!
40:50Charlie!
40:51Good to see you, old boy.
40:53How long's it been?
40:54How's that horse of yours running?
40:56Huh?
40:57I'm going to insist that you die with us again soon.
40:59I know, Olivia's just dying to see Penny.
41:02Now, regarding those uniforms...
41:04I didn't mean to play the cards.
41:07I want you to be there.
41:08I want you to be there.
41:28Contract lost.
41:30I lost.
41:32It's okay.
41:34Okay.
41:35There'll be a way, won't there?
41:37Find a way to fix it.
41:38Fix everything.
41:41I haven't come up with a plan yet.
41:43But I always do.
42:00Who?
42:16Mommy, mommy!
42:17Mom!
42:18Mommy!
42:18Mommy!
42:19Mommy!
42:20Mommy!
42:21Mommy!
42:22Mommy!
42:33Mommy, why are you crying?
42:36Mommy, I love you.
42:41I love you, Edwina.
42:46No, I haven't heard from Edwina for a while.
42:50But I'll give her your regards.
42:54And watertight, yes?
42:57All right, goodbye.
43:07Would you send Paula in, please?
43:10No more secrets, Paula. Agreed?
43:14No more secrets.
43:15And I'd like you to contact the family, please.
43:18I believe I'm going to have their birthday party, after all.
43:21Ask Jerry to make travel arrangements, the whole clan, for this weekend.
43:26This weekend?
43:27Before Monday?
43:28That's right.
43:29My children can celebrate with me en route to their famous meeting.
43:33Let's make this an occasion to remember.
43:37We're going home.
