Short filmTranscript
00:00Let's go!
00:45How are those helicopter lessons coming along, Stephen?
00:49I might set up a few for myself.
00:53Mrs. Hart, I need two minutes of your time.
00:56One will be more than ample, Mr. Fairley.
00:59I've come with a warning.
01:02Theatrical.
01:03Mrs. Hart, I'm assuming you haven't seen the news about the crash in Hart's share prices
01:08and about the leak.
01:10A source from inside your company has intimated to the press that you're fragile, losing control.
01:20They've provided them with your confidential medical records.
01:25One of a whole line of casseroles.
01:28And with Hart stocks already 12% down on the LSE, things are looking bleak for the world's
01:33richest woman, Emma Hart, whose retail empire is reeling today from revelations about her
01:37health status.
01:40Stephen?
01:41Yes, Mrs. Hart?
01:41I'm going to walk.
01:43Ma'am?
01:43Mrs. Hart, this isn't an easy thing to broach, but I believe...
01:49Thanks.
02:06Mrs. Hart!
02:07Mrs. Hart!
02:07I hope my warning you proves I can be trusted.
02:11Hello?
02:12Mrs. Hart.
02:12Well...
02:13Morning, Ted.
02:14Hello.
02:34Happy anniversary, Bernie.
02:36That sure rolls around.
02:38Perfumes, ground floor.
02:40Jewelry, floor three.
02:42Otherwise, dog houses, floor six.
02:45My regards to Cheryl.
02:47Please, I know this must be a shop.
02:49A friend of yours, Mrs. Hart?
02:51Hardly.
02:52Mrs. Hart, please, let me help.
02:53I know how hard you've worked for all this.
02:55Now the papers are saying you're finished.
02:57Mrs. Hart.
03:09God, Grandy, we tried to get a message to you.
03:11What do we know?
03:11Are you all right?
03:12Those hospital records they have, are they...
03:14A complete fabrication.
03:16Where's it come from, this league?
03:17We've no idea, but it's rather detailed, I'm afraid.
03:19It appears one of the board.
03:21We need to control the narrative with press releases.
03:24A full page spread in every outlet you own.
03:26Oh, and a double in those I don't.
03:30Accountants.
03:31Henry's an Aspen, Mrs. Hart, at his daughter's wedding.
03:33And shares are down 14% now.
03:36Jerry!
03:50I took the stairs.
03:54One unwelcome appearance of a morning might be considered an intrusion.
04:00Two verges on trespass.
04:02Jerry, send in security.
04:03There's a wasp at the picnic.
04:06Mrs. Hart, I'm trying to earn your trust, and I hope perhaps this endless feud...
04:10Oh, I wouldn't call it a feud.
04:13What would you call it then?
04:14Well, I don't get involved in semantics.
04:17A war?
04:19It's vital to me you realise I am better than the rest of my family.
04:22Well, that's an exceptionally unambitious claim.
04:26Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mole to unearth.
04:29But it's not just some anonymous board member.
04:31Mrs. Hart, I know who it is.
04:36It's your children.
04:40If you think for one moment that I'd trust you, Mr. Fairley...
04:46I know you have dedicated your entire life to the hatred of my family.
04:50Oh, now, you're quite wrong, Mr. Fairley.
04:54Hatred happens in secret, with neither purpose nor aspiration.
04:59No, what I've dedicated my life to is revenge.
05:07Love these some kind-of-a-liding friends.
05:28No, I'm just a little bit.
05:29You're too much.
05:29Oh, no...
05:33You're too much.
05:34I'm looking for Farley Hall. Sorry to startle you. I'm repairing their chimneys.
05:46Shane O'Neil is the name, but the whole world calls me Mac.
05:57You can keep up, you can follow.
06:12Your lamb calls at the top of the world.
06:18Keep up!
06:35Well, I think that'll do with me. What do you reckon?
06:40Ever smelt a rose that had a wasp in it?
06:57Edwin. Emma.
07:01I thought you didn't graduate till summer.
07:04Any excuse to come home?
07:09Well, you'll have missed your family.
07:12Have you met my Farley?
07:15Father's hosting a weekend for some dignitary or other.
07:19Supposed to impress them.
07:21Well, good luck. Being impressive.
07:26Emma.
07:36Faster than you look.
07:39For the chimneys, Shane O'Neil, that the whole world calls a Mac.
07:44This is Edwin. Master Edwin.
07:50Emma Hart!
07:59Sir.
08:07Right, pay attention, you lot.
08:09Mary. Beds, baths, bedpans.
08:12Holly. In with a mistress, as usual.
08:15Finally.
08:18Emma. Silverware, grates, glassware.
08:21All stairs and floors.
08:22And on time, in future.
08:46Ah!
09:12Perhaps you'd like to treat yourself to some toast with that jam.
09:16What a ration in all things.
09:19Except preserves.
09:23Did your father tell you how cleverly he ironed out his issue with that foreman?
09:27Yes. All ships shape at the mill, largely, thanks to you.
09:32Well, if Sir Vikram's impressed with you, it would all have been worthwhile.
09:37Edwin, did I tell you?
09:38The Chandras, Sir Vikram and his daughter Priya, are coming to us straight from his trading meetings at Downing Street.
09:45You did say yes.
09:47Gosh.
09:48It's...
09:48We must do our very best to get the Chandras on side.
09:52Let's see if we can't do our bit for Anglo-Indian relations.
09:56Well, Edwin never lets anyone down.
09:59Well, Edwin never leased.
10:28If somebody simplifies how hard you made, theygle at age,
10:28and he's at 1 in 18 Hands were when they started.
10:38Emma.
10:40What are you doing?
10:41That kiss.
10:42The morning I left.
10:43In the stable.
10:44We mustn't.
10:45We never should have.
10:46I know.
10:46We've resisted for so long.
10:48But your lips, the taste of your mouth, it's all I can think about.
10:52We can't.
10:53If they catch us.
10:54I don't care.
10:56Do you?
10:56Yes.
10:57You don't have a job to lose.
10:58Emma.
10:59This isn't some whim.
11:01This is you and me.
11:03Running, laughing.
11:04Telling each other everything.
11:07But it's different now, isn't it?
11:09Since that kiss, it's changed.
11:11And how can it not be better?
11:13I know you, Emma.
11:15I know you feel it too.
11:18I can't.
11:20I don't.
11:23I do.
11:23I do, of course I do.
11:25But I mustn't.
11:26I mustn't.
11:33I do.
11:42I don't know.
11:44It's in.
11:45I don't know.
11:47I don't know.
11:48I don't know.
11:50I don't know.
11:53Those mill boys finish early on a Saturday, but you stay focused, do you hear?
11:59Did you get your extra dining money?
12:01I have.
12:06Keep climbing, Emma.
12:10You're talented, with your dressmaking. You've an eye.
12:15I've got two.
12:17And if you're smart, which I know you are, you can get out of fairly.
12:22Don't be like me, you hear?
12:25Remember your plan with a capital P.
12:28Get out and get on.
12:32Or the rest of us, if we're born unfairly, we'll die here.
12:38But you won't get trapped.
12:40Remember, without money, you're vulnerable.
12:43So stay focused.
12:45And if a chance comes, you grab it.
12:50You hear me?
12:59McQueen!
13:00So don't get distracted.
13:02Don't take your eye off the board.
13:04Keep thinking ahead.
13:06Three moves at least.
13:21We'll finish tomorrow, shall we?
13:24I love her.
13:26She's tired again.
13:28I was thinking, might we find money to at least talk to a doctor?
13:31We won't afford medicine.
13:34Are your mum all right?
13:38She's fine.
13:40Shh.
13:42You sleep.
13:43All right.
13:43All right.
13:44All right.
14:01Well, that's football for you, son.
14:03Tell you now, I don't know how Bradford think they've got a Catting Hill's chance against Newcastle after that show
14:07at Blackburn.
14:08Blackburn.
14:09Yeah, look.
14:10Dreadful results.
14:11Dreadful.
14:12Lamb's not burning up as much as last night.
14:14No?
14:16Well, she's a fighter.
14:17Your mum.
14:17She fights.
14:18Like me.
14:19I can fight, can't I, Dad?
14:21All right.
14:22Look at him here.
14:23Heavyweight, aren't you, son?
14:24Go on.
14:24Get him in the belly.
14:25Go on, big man.
14:26I'll see what you've got, son.
14:30You know, your dad's getting old, man.
14:31Small but powerful.
14:33Look at that.
14:35Hey!
14:38He's had a slice already!
14:40Have a good day, Dad.
14:42It's all right.
14:43What the hell?
14:45Small but greedy, more like.
14:47Ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:54Oh.
15:05Just talk so nice.
15:07Get, please.
15:08If they catch her.
15:09...I can walk after meself.
15:11...
15:39Polly.
15:43Well look at that. My husband finally come to see me.
15:47I had time to kill.
15:51Flatterer.
15:55I like your shirt.
15:57It's ancient.
15:58Well, a bit like me then.
16:01Perhaps that's why I like it.
16:06How do I seem to you, Adam?
16:07I hate not to live up to your expectations.
16:11Every man has the right to expect his mad wife in the attic
16:14to behave appropriately.
16:29I shouldn't have come.
16:34But you wanted to come.
16:42I'm always here, Squire Fair.
16:45I'm watching from the window, wondering if you'll come.
16:49When you're riding your horses, holding on tight.
16:52No.
16:57Throw me.
17:24Where is Polly?
17:25Running an errand for Master Gerald.
17:28I feel for her.
17:30Never ends well, when worlds collide.
17:39Mrs Fairley's waiting.
17:42Polly's on an errand.
17:45She does realise she's the lady's maid.
17:47She's got responsibilities.
17:51I'll take it.
18:13You're not Polly.
18:14I'm Emma.
18:15Mrs Fairley.
18:15Emma Hart.
18:17Well, Emma Hart.
18:19My husband is leaving, but don't worry.
18:22He always comes back again.
18:24We're busy downstairs.
18:26There's a party this weekend.
18:27I like parties.
18:29Yes.
18:30But my bad wife never dares leave her room.
18:33How many years, Adele, since you settled downstairs?
18:38It's not a big event.
18:40It's only family and a few locals.
18:42Are you trying to remove me from this family?
18:44Oh, you removed yourself from this family a long time ago.
18:47Olivia will be there.
18:49Can I...
18:49Wife's sister isn't a substitute for a wife, Adam.
18:52I only mean that she knows the business,
18:54and I think it would be safer...
18:55I can be safe.
18:58I can be charming.
19:00Don't you think, Adam?
19:03Fine.
19:05Is today the day, Adele?
19:08Can you find the courage?
19:18Come down, sirs.
19:22What you need to understand is we work damn hard on this Chandra deal.
19:26We!
19:27A lot of clever people, Adele.
19:28Everyone of whom is sober and fully dressed.
19:42Why don't you sit down, Mrs Fairley?
19:44Sit down.
19:46And just breathe.
19:47Slow.
19:48Breathe.
20:16I'm sung and breathe.
20:19I was just watering.
20:24The plants, obviously.
20:33Have you seen Adele?
20:38How is she?
20:40Much the same.
20:42Lost.
20:52Do you ever get frightened?
20:55Yes, of course. You're a woman.
21:00Men get frightened, too.
21:02Oh, men are only frightened of boredom and dying.
21:07Neither of those worry me.
21:10What is it, then, Mrs Fairley?
21:12What scares you?
21:15I'm frightened of disappearing.
21:18Of being forgotten.
21:20Most people just assume you're nobody and then dismiss you.
21:24Do you know that?
21:27Yes, I do.
21:31Every morning, I get dressed.
21:35And I do my hair.
21:37And I have every intention of going down to breakfast.
21:41Or to some fabulous party.
21:44Like when I was a girl.
21:46And some days, I try so hard to leave the room.
21:51But it all feels too much.
21:54So, I have to find other ways to get Adam's attention.
22:03Meanwhile, my sister swans around downstairs, doing everything I should do.
22:10She seems to find the world easy.
22:14But you're the lady of the house, Mrs Fairley.
22:16You have such lovely things.
22:18Oh.
22:19Your clothes.
22:20Well, I have marvellous clothes.
22:21And you've got your husband.
22:23And your sons.
22:25My babies.
22:26Well, your sister's got none of those.
22:28So I expect she might be frightened of you.
22:35Oh, is it?
22:50Are you a bush?
22:52Well spotted.
22:54Lonely business, being a master of disguise.
23:01How's your plan, Emma?
23:02Still coming on?
23:04Of course.
23:05I'm doing my mending.
23:06If I can make my wages up before she thinks a week, I might be able to get to lead.
23:10Emma?
23:12Emma Hart!
23:13You're a visitor.
23:25Dad says you ought to come.
23:26Hi, Emma.
23:37Emma.
23:38No.
23:39No.
23:40Emma.
23:40Go away from me.
23:41I'll just throw you down.
23:42Don't be daft.
23:43We have to both go.
23:44Honest.
23:44I'll say goodbye.
23:45You'll go.
23:47Please.
23:48Please.
23:48Go.
23:49I'm sorry.
23:51I love you.
23:53Go.
23:54Go.
23:55Go.
24:20I'm coming, Mom.
24:36I've got it, Emma.
24:38I've got it.
24:38You go.
24:41You go.
24:41You go.
24:52You go.
24:53Look at me.
24:56She's not left, love.
24:59Mum.
25:01Mum.
25:01It's me.
25:02It's Emma.
25:04Emma.
25:06I waited for you.
25:11I'm scared.
25:14Get out and get on Emma, you hear me?
25:19Promise me?
25:20Promise?
25:22Emma, baby.
25:24Is he here?
25:25I'm here.
25:31Now where's your dad?
25:34I'm here, love.
25:39I'm here.
25:41It's time.
25:45Dad.
25:47Dad, what are you doing?
25:49I don't know.

26:33That's where we've got to be.
26:56I'm so sorry.
26:58I'm so sorry.
27:03I'm so sorry.
27:05I'm going to try for you.

30:25I believe Squire Fairley
30:27that it's important to take your chances in life
30:29and I reckon I understand the mistress
30:32so I was wondering if I might look after her from now on
30:35as her personal maid
30:38I think if you asked the mistress she'd like that too
30:43I was thinking for she leans more a week

38:16I'm only playing the part of
38:20but some days it feels real

38:23it feels real to me too sometimes
38:29I barely used to eat in the morning
38:31you know
38:33there was no one to share things with
38:35I had no conversation
38:38no partner

39:06I'm sorry I should uh...
39:19see what I'm here to talk about
39:27I'm sorry...
39:28see the trick here is to not let any of the ringleaders on the mill floor think they have the
39:31upper hand
39:32Although in the case of the girl that had the accident it's their only hand she's got
39:36Ha ha ha ha...
39:38What about you, Edwin?
39:39Any thoughts on keeping workers in check?
39:43Truthfully, sir, I'm not sure it's up to us to actually...
39:46I'm afraid we have an idealist on our hands, Sir Vikram.
39:51But... he's a bright lad.
39:54Well, Edwin, if you are a free thinker, you sound the same as Priya here. Isn't that right, Priya?
40:00Depends on how free he is and what he thinks about.
40:09It goes without saying, doesn't it, Adam, that anyone who invests in our meal will benefit from the unprecedented profit
40:15margins that we mentioned earlier.
40:19You must be a busy man, Squirefell. A sister-in-law never off duty and, I hear, a wife upstairs.
40:25Yes.
40:27Yes.
40:29My wife sends her apologies.
40:31She's...
40:32unwell.
40:35a party...
40:37for little old me.
40:39a party...
40:40a party...
41:08a party...
41:09Wonderful to see you up and about.
41:14Oh, goodness, darling.
41:18What a dress.
41:19You're a picture.
41:23It's a big room.
41:25This is my wife.
41:38We are the same, Emma.
41:42We're just the same.
41:50Though, admittedly, right now, I feel a bit sillier than you.
41:54It's quite sharper in the fact that I shell and so on.
41:57You're supposed to be impressing them inside.
42:00They'll be around.
42:01I don't care about any of them.
42:03It is wicked here, you're quite right.
42:06It's unbearable.
42:10So it's neither of us bear it.
42:20Come on.
42:24Come on.
42:28Emma!
42:31Come on.
42:44You're beautiful.
42:46You're beautiful.
42:47I'm covered in egg.
43:11You're getting it everywhere.
43:16There'll be such a row if I'm not back.
43:20Do you want to go back?
43:36You're all wet.
43:38You're not cold.
44:01What is it?
44:04Rings.
44:08Who's there there?
44:14I'd never hurt you, Emma.
44:18But we mustn't.
44:23It's fine.
44:48We'll stay there.
45:03I love you Emma. I love you my whole life.
45:20I love you.
45:55Oh yes, Mr. Fairley. After everything your family did to me, I've dedicated my entire life to revenge.
46:13There must be some boy that you want to make positively feral, is there?
46:17Don't you go making that mistake of thinking wrong.
46:21Betrayal is in his blood. A betrayal can creep up on you.
46:25You want to take advantage of me, do you? I'm going to get fired.
46:29Who do you think you're wrong?
