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.
04:30Sorry.
04:32Sorry.
04:34Oh, no, no.
04:35Oh, no.
04:36Oh, no, no.
04:38Oh, no, no, no.
04:40Oh, no.
04:42Oh, no, no, no, no.
04:44Oh, no, no.
04:54Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
04:57Oh, no, no, no, no.
04:58Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:58Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:58Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:59Did you see? The government's going to be accepting bids for uniform manufacturers.
05:03This is it, Mac. This 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. I know it is.
05:27But the only way I can make it work is if I sell the shops.
05:34No.
05:36No, you built those with your own blood, sweat and tears. You 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, I'm at.
05:56What can I do to help?
06:15Good night.
06:17Mike.
06:22It's James.
06:23It's James.
06:24It's James.
06:39What 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.
06:49Fine, 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, yes?
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?
08:38What's suicide mission?
08:39What could you have possibly done that is so terrible that you risked your life as recompense?
08:48Emma 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.
09:29The general told me years ago there was a child.
09:33You...
09:34You knew.
09:37And you're not angry.
09:39Well, it's not ideal.
09:41Obviously.
09:43But.
09:44Boys 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.
10:10I 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.
10:52Unfortunately, this will mean the closing and sale of my shops.
10:55But please don't worry.
10:57None of you will be out of work.
10:58You're all needed elsewhere.
11:00Those of you who wish to volunteer, I will continue to pay your wages to your families.
11:03Then 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.
11:20Now, you're selling my shops.
11:21I'm selling my shops.
11:23I bought them from you at full price.
11:25The deeds are in my name.
11:26I don't care about the deeds, Emma.
11:28These 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?
11:41You talk like we're a team, but you didn't think to ask or even tell me that you're selling my
11:45father's legacy.
11:46These are not normal times.
11:47Wouldn't your father want you to do what's needed to survive?
11:51Or maybe that's the problem.
11:52Survival 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.
12:09That's not fair.
12:10And you know it.
12:11I had faith in you the second I saw you.
12:14I gave you a job, remember?
12:15And less than a year, I let you a shop.
12:17And then another, Emma.
12:19Emma, I don't think there's anybody in this world who has more faith in you than I do.
12:24Mack had no doubts.
12:26Not one.
12:30Laura, please.
12:31I said I didn't want to.
12:34Laura.
12:35Emma Dawson sent him to him, please.
12:37I'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 and
12:47I'm supposed to just accept it.
12:48You does seem a bit rash, Mack.
12:50It's early days.
12:51I'm not doing this for the government or the king.
12:54Can'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?
13:09I can't sit here waiting for them to come to us.
13:14I have to do this.
13:17To keep you safe.
13:18But we don't want you to.
13:20Do we, Emma?
13:21Tell him.
13:22He's right.
13:25We have to do what we can, no matter how risky.
13:28It scares me.
13:28Of 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, God knows what that'll mean for our children.
13:50Doing nothing.
13:52Isn't that the biggest risk of all?
13:53We'll be with you in just a second.
14:15Feel free to browse.
14:18There she is.
14:22Emma Hart.
14:25Look at you.
14:28How far you've come.
14:38You should know that Edmund told me everything.
14:43He's got it into his head that he has to...
14:48He'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, then I'm sure
15:03you don't want his life at risk any more than I do.
15:08So, I thought you could write him a letter saying 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, it means
15:38there'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, you 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 rage.
18:32I am burning with rage.
19:00I am burning with rage.
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
19:38Of winning the military uniform contract
19:41So that's why I think
19:46You 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 practice it over and over
19:55Until 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
20:00Those 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
20:14You
20:17Joe
20:20Is this because Mac?
20:23I'm not daft, Emma
20:26I wouldn't risk leaving our children without a father
20:28Just to prove to you I'm as much of a man as 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
20:46But
20:48I need you
20:54Sorry, Emma
20:56I didn't know
21:00You never have done before
21:22People worried the Boer War would last for years
21:25And look how quickly that ended
21:27Weren't there too
21:28Boer Wars?
21:29Yes
21:30The second one lasted three years
21:35Still
21:36I'm sure that this time next year we'll all be back to our normal lives
21:39And everyone will be so grateful to you for your bravery, Edwin
21:42Yes
21:42I'm sure you'll be a huge asset on the battlefield
21:45With all your experience
21:46Building pens and fannying about the newsroom
21:50I'm looking forward to the parades
21:51When it's over
21:53I expect there'll be some
21:54Yeah, it's a parade
21:56That should make all the death worth it
22:03What?
22:03He's obviously not coming
22:05He is
22:08No
22:10He isn't
22:23Everyone's wondering where you are
22:24I thought you'd be too busy drinking champagne
22:28Toasting the stupidest decision that everyone's ever made
22:34Adam
22:36It's not too late to tell him how you feel
22:39I made that perfectly clear
22:49I 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
22:59Instead of whatever it was you said that drove her back to the drink
23:02She'd still be here
23:19Edwina, love
23:20Listen
23:21Do you understand what that is 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
23:32I'll be back before you know it
23:34For Christmas
23:40Yeah
23:41For Christmas
23:50You should sleep
23:52You'll need it
23:58It's for the birthdays
24:02I've got up to
24:04Edwina's 16th
24:05Which is
24:07Impossible to imagine, isn't it?
24:13Will you, um
24:17Will you, um
24:17I've got to
24:23You will
24:32I've got to
24:34You'll see you
24:34I'll be back to
24:34I'll be back to
24:34You
24:44I don't know.
25:08I don't know.
25:39I don't know.
25:42I don't know.
25:56I don't know.
26:05I don't know.
26:22I don't know.
26:23But...
26:26I'm not sure I deserve it.
26:42I'm sorry.
26:45I know you wanted this to be.
26:49I never should have pretended I was capable of giving you what you wanted.
27:11You 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 heard with Emma.
27:34How?
27:35I found the letters.
27:39I found the letters.
27:41That's why I had her all to my dress.
27:45I wanted to meet her.
27:49I can see why she made your heart so warm.
27:54I'm sorry you lost her.
27:57I'm sorry.
27:59I'm sorry.
27:59I'm sorry.
28:05I'm sorry.
28:05I'm sorry.
28:16I'm sorry.
28:19I'm sorry.
28:23I'm sorry.
28:30I don't know.
29:09I don't know.
29:36I don't know.
30:01I don't know.
30:40I love you.
30:45I don't know.
30:46I don't know.
30:46I don't know.
30:56I don't know.
31:01I don't know.
31:27I don't know.
31:29Didn't I?
31:30I'm not good at these.
31:32It wasn't good by then and it isn't now.
31:35Don't even say it.
31:37Say see you soon because you will.
31:39You have to.
31:41There's no me without you Shane O'Neil.
31:44Not since that first morning we met on the Mars.
31:48So don't go being the hero.
31:49I know.
31:51I know that will be hard for you but I need you back here.
32:03See you soon Anama.
32:11I know.
32:14I know.
32:17I know.
32:20I know.
32:23I know.
33:55No sense us being at war while they are.
34:00Very generous of you.
34:03Famous pacifist, aren't I?
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 without them?
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 Joe.
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.
35:22I don't.
35:24She killed my son.
35:27What?
35:28Who has?
35:31Well, Adam, Edwin's not dead.
35:34He's...
35:35She'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
35:53to 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,
36:02that I never gave you the chance to be mine.
36:05I've been so proud,
36:07so stubborn,
36:08thinking I had to do it all on my own.
36:10But 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,
36:31we are in significant debt.
36:33But some things are more important than money.
36:37I've been part-owner of two mills
36:39in the factory for the U.S.
36:40the boys to begin sewing our soldiers' uniforms
36:42as soon as...
36:45Immediately.
36:46Subject to your...
36:47I have every faith
36:48that I'll win the bid
36:49for the military uniform contract.
36:51Just as I have every faith
36:53that you'll come home to me.
36:55And when you do, Joe,
36:57I'll be the partner you deserve.
36:59I promise you that.
37:24Gentlemen,
37:26our men,
37:27fathers,
37:27brothers,
37:28sons,
37:28husbands,
37:29including my own,
37:30are out in the fields of France
37:32fighting for king and country.
37:34The least we can do
37:35is provide them
37:35with the best possible uniforms
37:37to aid their path to victory.
37:38The most durable wool,
37:40the most functional designs.
37:42And I am the person
37:43to make that happen.
37:44I know I'm not the usual sort
37:46to stand before you.
37:47As you've likely observed,
37:49I'm not a man.
37:53But I ask you
37:54to pay attention
37:55not to who I am,
37:56but to what I'm offering.
37:59I am the proud owner
38:00of two mills
38:01and a factory full of workers
38:02poised to begin
38:03sewing our soldiers' uniforms
38:04immediately,
38:05subject to your approval
38:06of my designs.
38:07I've already begun
38:08producing the fabric needed
38:10at my own cost.
38:11I knew that inflation
38:12on the price of raw materials
38:14would be coming,
38:14and fast.
38:15So the day war was declared,
38:17I secured the wool needed
38:18to make 16,000 uniforms
38:19at a price of
38:20one shilling per pound.
38:22If you were to buy
38:22that wool today,
38:23you wouldn't be able
38:24to get it for less
38:25than one shilling
38:25and three pence.
38:26Tomorrow,
38:27it will be higher.
38:29And that's how I know
38:30that not one of the men
38:30you've heard from so far
38:31will be able to offer you
38:32a more competitive price
38:33than I can.
38:35Time is not a luxury
38:36we have, gentlemen.
38:37The war has begun.
38:39Pick me,
38:39and not only can I offer you
38:40the highest quality
38:41at the lowest price,
38:42but I can begin today.
38:50I've had an idea.
38:52And it's rather brilliant
38:53if I do say so myself.
38:55Oh, well, let's hear it.
38:57You should join the VAD.
38:59We can train together.
39:01Oh.
39:01It'll be so much more fun
39:03if it's the two of us.
39:04I really think you'd get
39:05something out of it.
39:07Well, I don't think so.
39:08Why not?
39:09Well, I don't think
39:11Adam would...
39:12I mean, he needs me here,
39:14especially with Edwin gone.
39:16And what about
39:17what you need?
39:18Well, I...
39:20I don't...
39:21I'm...
39:22I'm fine.
39:24Are you?
39:26Yes.
39:30What?
39:31Nothing.
39:32It's just...
39:34You seem to spend
39:35a lot of time
39:35worrying about
39:36Mr Fairley's needs,
39:38but...
39:39he doesn't seem
39:40to give yours
39:40a second thought.
39:42What a thing to say.
39:44That's...
39:44That's not true.
39:47Isn't it?
39:48No.
39:50I...
39:50I know Adam can be...
39:55But he's been through
39:56an awful lot.
39:57I mean,
39:57he lost his wife.
39:58And you lost your sister?
40:00Yes, yes, I did.
40:01I lost her.
40:02We both lost someone
40:03that we adored that day.
40:04And it was my fault
40:05because I broke Adele's heart.
40:07I betrayed her.
40:07I drove her back to the drink.
40:09You broke her heart?
40:10All on your own?
40:11And what about Mr Fairley?
40:13I was the last person
40:14to speak to her.
40:16No, you weren't.
40:17I was.
40:19No, it was...
40:21Mr Fairley.
40:23I heard him
40:24in Mrs Fairley's room
40:26arguing,
40:27saying the cruelest things
40:28only a few hours
40:29before she...
40:32Are you making this up?
40:34No.
40:35I swear.
40:40Thank you so much,
40:41God Acton.
40:42I really appreciate you
40:43giving me the opportunity.
40:44You've got my details,
40:46haven'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
40:58that you die with us again soon.
40:59I know, Olivia's just dying
41:01to see Penny.
41:02Now, regarding those uniforms...
41:05I didn't mean to take a call.
41:07I want you to be prepared
41:08as much as you can trust me.
41:28Contract lost.
41:30I lost.
41:32But it's okay.
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?
42:29Mommy, mommy!
42:30Mommy!
42:34Mommy, why are you crying?
42:36Mommy, I love you.
42:41I love you, Edwina.
42:46No, I haven't heard from Edwina
42:49for a while.
42:50But I'll give her your regards.
42:54And watertight.
42:55All right, yes?
42:57All right, goodbye.
43:07Would you send Paula in, please?
43:10No more secrets, Paula.
43:12Agreed?
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.
43:21After all.
43:22Ask Jerry to make travel arrangements.
43:24The whole clan.
43:25For this weekend.
43:26This weekend?
43:27Before Monday?
43:28That's right, my children can celebrate with me
43:31en route to their famous meeting.
43:33Let's make this an occasion to remember.
43:37We're going home.
43:38We're going home, man.
43:42We're going home.
43:42We'll be with you.
43:43We'll be with you.
