Short filmTranscript
00:08Change the Grace Mirabella call to an in-person meet at Vogue HQ this afternoon, please.
00:15I need to be out and about.
00:17Let people see for themselves my children's claims about my ill health are greatly exaggerated.
00:23Grandy, have you spoken to any of them?
00:24I wonder if a calmer, more considered conversation with Aunt Edwina might...
00:30I get Henry Rossiter to come and see me.
00:32I need to liquidate some assets.
00:35Really? How much do you need?
00:36Seven million pounds.
00:39What for?
00:40And as much as it pains me to say it, I should make a television appearance.
00:44So call Peter Lasali and tell him it's finally a yes for The Tonight Show.
00:49And after that, I'd like you to call Jim Fairley and put an end to your dalliance with him.
00:58I... I don't know what you...
01:02I didn't even know who he was when we first met.
01:05I thought you were serious about your future here, Paula.
01:08I thought you had ambition.
01:09I am. I do.
01:10Then it ends. Today.
01:13But, Grandy, I love him.
01:16Paula, I understand, believe me, that occasionally one can find oneself distracted.
01:24But one must use that distraction as a springboard for moving on.
01:30You and Jim Fairley are over.
01:33End of story.
01:35You do it where I am without making sacrifices.
01:39End of story.
02:12Ready for your grand opening day?
02:19Have a lovely day.
02:41All right, you've settled down.
02:44He's my second, and compared to the first, he's just an angel.
02:49Emma, is this town town in the worst of all?
02:52Terry.
02:57Oh, my God.
03:34Perfect, Mrs Jacobs.
03:36With the height you've been blessed with, I'd take the skirt up to mid-calf.
03:39I'll have to persuade my husband to use a new jacket.
03:41He'll be showing me up in church.
03:43Perhaps sweeten them up first.
03:44Have you seen my treacle tart kits?
03:46My mother's recipe.
03:46My dad used to ask for one instead of a birthday cake in June.
03:54So, you've been working every day, every second.
03:57When will this place be running smoothly enough for you to take time off and see your family, eh?
04:02Menswear.
04:03That should be next.
04:04Perfect way to expand the customer base.
04:05Can I have a look at yours?
04:08Yes.
04:10But if you're going to undress me, perhaps without an audience?
04:15Sorry.
04:19Tweed.
04:19I'm going to need lots of tweed.
04:21Can you...
04:21Oh.
04:23I'm good at being in charge.
04:33I'm going to need whatever you've got in tweed, worsted wool, maybe some linen.
04:38You can't be running dry already.
04:39Starting a menswear line.
04:41Did you hear?
04:42They're selling juice brew mill?
04:44Someone will make a fart too.
04:45Yeah, they'll have to spend one first.
04:47You should buy it.
04:48Think how much bigger your profit margins would be.
04:50No, thank you.
04:52No, it'd be too risky for me.
04:53I'd have to take out a whacking loan.
04:54It'd be more than pay for itself.
04:55Given how poorly everyone thinks of the Fairley Mills produce, I reckon the contracts they've
04:59got left will be yours for the dating.
05:30Mr Lowther.
05:30If you have any premises, I suggest you apologise to Mrs Hart immediately.
05:33And spend less time worrying about what she's selling, and more about what you're selling,
05:37which as of late, I suspect is not very much.
05:44Sorry.
05:47Invisible husband.
05:48Invisible baby.
05:49Thanks for asking, Mrs Minton, but my daughter's been very well looked after, as a matter
05:52of fact.
05:53She wants her nothing.
05:54Emma?
05:59What does she know, eh?
06:00She thinks we're carrying on.
06:03She can hear a shop.
06:04I never keep you waiting for rent.
06:06I'd be too worried that she'd bludgeon us both to death with one of your treacle tarts.
06:18Some fish-eye darts at the front here would make for a better silhouette, don't you think?
06:23It'd pull in the waist without...
06:24Disturbing the pull.
06:26Yes.
06:27You're right.
06:29Clean the lines.
06:34Can I take your measurements?
06:36For samples?
06:40Shall I?
06:41Yes.
06:43Thanks.
07:03Most people would wait more than a few months after opening a ladies' wear shop to expand.
07:11You think it's too soon?
07:13No.
07:14I don't.
07:17And this is exactly why I wanted to work with you.
07:27Because you're not most people.
07:41I can't.
07:42I can't.
07:42I'm married.
07:43Well, someone should remind your husband of that, because it's been almost a year, Emma,
07:47and he hasn't bothered to come near you, not even when he gave birth to his child.
07:50Please, oh, wait.
07:51Week after week, I say to myself, has he any idea who he married?
07:55Does he know you?
07:55Has he seen you?
07:59Because surely if he'd had even a glimpse of you, he'd not be able to tear himself from
08:02your side.
08:03I'm sorry.
08:03I'm sorry.
08:12I'm sorry.
08:37Emma Hart, isn't it?
08:41Yes.
08:42How can I help you, Mrs...
08:44Miss Chandra.
08:46At least for the next few weeks, then it'll be Mrs. Edwin Fairley.
08:52That's why I'm here.
08:55Yeah.
09:10Yes, I can see.
09:14It just needs the odd adjustment.
09:18All we have to do is...
09:20Burn it.
09:22It's a fairly heirloom they insisted I try on, and as you can see, it fits, which is rather
09:28unfortunate because it's an absolute monstrosity.
09:34I'm sorry.
09:35So am I.
09:36But I kept hearing such wonderful things about this place.
09:40I was hoping you could make it even a tiny bit less hideous.
09:43Let's see.
09:48I always imagined I'd get married in what my mother wore to her wedding.
09:52It was a beautiful red sari.
09:54Gold thread.
09:56But she won't be at the wedding herself.
10:03She passed away.
10:07I'm sorry.
10:10And to lose a mother, that's...
10:14I know.
10:16It's a worse thing.
10:19Yes.
10:20It is.
10:28He writes to you...
10:33Letters.
10:36Constantly.
10:39Though he seems to have no intention of sending them, so...
10:42I suppose I was always going to find them eventually.
10:49Why did you come here?
10:52If I'm going to spend the rest of my life with a man whose heart is broken,
10:56I thought I ought to at least have a good look at the woman responsible.
11:00If Edwin's heart is broken, it's entirely his own doing.
11:02I can assure you of that.
11:09You can look.
11:17Well, I'd have made me look an absolute fright if I were you.
11:21Oh, I considered it.
11:23It was a time I'd have ruined the dress completely.
11:26Anything to get back at them, even a little bit.
11:31I made a vow, you see, spend the rest of my life punishing them.
11:36All of the failies.
11:39And now?
11:43Sometimes I wonder whether, in doing that, I'm also punishing myself.
11:59Don't marry him.
12:01Not because I want him, or because I'm trying to ruin his life.
12:06I just...
12:08I think you deserve more.
12:15He's good to me.
12:18And love can grow, I think.
12:22I have hope.
12:28I know this might be terribly inappropriate, but I really did want you to...
12:32I'll have it delivered.
12:34Thanks, it's finished.
13:00Sure, I thought you'd be pleased to hear Edwin's living a life of misery.
13:04Doesn't it feel good, Emma, to know you built all this while he's been stood still,
13:08right where you left him?
13:09But part of me's been there with him, hasn't it?
13:11Wearing the ring he got me.
13:13Even pretending to have a husband at sea.
13:15Making sure there isn't even the slightest possibility I might one day be able to meet someone else.
13:23Are you ready for that?
13:26I want to be, I think.
13:29But I'm scared.
13:32That rage, the rage against Edwin, it's what's dragging me out of bed every single morning.
13:36It's what's keeping Edwina fed and safe.
13:38If I let that go, am I just going to get distracted again?
13:41Am I going to let my mam down?
13:43No, Emma.
13:44That fire inside you is going nowhere.
13:47It's that rage.
13:48It's who you are.
13:49Rage was just the fuel there for a little while, but...
13:52That can come from anywhere.
13:55It can come from love.
13:59You're right.
14:03Emma.
14:04Would you speak to him for me?
14:06Would you speak to David?
14:10You'll probably notice how we are around each other.
14:14I never expected it.
14:16Tried to tell myself it wasn't happening, but...
14:20He makes me feel...
14:21I don't know.
14:22So excited, fluttery, hopeful.
14:29Is that bad?
14:31Never.
14:33What, erm...
14:36What do you want me to say to him?
15:04I know I should feel guilty.
15:06But these past months, with Adele away, have been the best of my life.
15:19Delivery for you, Miss Chandler.
15:21Oh, thank you.
15:24My wedding dress, so best not to mention it to...
15:28Of course.
15:29Wouldn't want to bring about any bad luck.
15:48What have you got there?
15:49Oh.
15:50It...
15:51It's, erm...
15:52Oh, sorry.
15:53Is that the...
15:56Wedding dress.
15:57Yes.
15:57I had it altered, a little, at this new dressmakers I kept hearing about.
16:06Really.
16:08Right.
16:10Good.
16:11Good.
16:12I hope you got...
16:14What you wanted.
16:32These are for you.
16:36Mac told me about your husband.
16:37I'm so sorry.
16:52Why didn't you tell me sooner that he'd died?
16:58It was a while ago.
17:01I think I was scared...
17:05of us.
17:11Not worried about me being...
17:14forward.
17:19Worried I might.
17:26I just came here to check you were all right.
17:31Well, Mac says you up to lose a husband.
17:35No, I feel awful.
17:36The things I said about him.
17:38You're right.
17:39Truth is, I...
17:41lost him a long time ago.
17:44Even before he died.
17:47You make me feel...
17:49autres ghost girl.

18:50Dewsbury Mill is up for sale.
18:52We could ask them whether they'd sell us one of their looms.
18:54You know, we still have one from the fire,
18:56but if we could just get back to running at full capacity...
18:58There's a little point running at full capacity
18:59when we're not even selling the fabric we're making at half...
19:01What a hint of that sort of talk when Sir Bickham arrives.
19:04We'll focus on the wedding.
19:06If you sense the conversation is turning to anything more serious, deflect.
19:10I think we're all pretty good at that.
19:12Now, Olivia, at the luncheon, I'm going to need you to...
19:14Did somebody say luncheon?
19:16I love luncheon.
19:20Adele, we weren't expecting you.
19:21Mother, you look.
19:22I know, darling. Come here.
19:26Sherry, Mother?
19:27Shut up, Gerald.
19:29No, thank you, darling.
19:30Yes. Wise.
19:32We've had to switch to the cheap stuff in those two long months you've been on holiday.
19:40Still, it's here when you need it.
19:43Tea. We've got tea. I think I'll rest.
19:46Right.
19:47I've come a long way.
19:51But, I'm so looking forward to hearing what you've all been up to while I've been gone.
20:18I may have thought ahead of myself earlier. I had a plan, you see.
20:25And how much you like them.
20:27What did it involve?
20:29This plan.
20:30Well, the first step is going to be persuading you to take a day off.
20:33And how committed you are to hard work.
20:40It is time I took a day off.
20:43I need to go back.
20:46Home, I mean.
20:46See my family.
20:48I'm so out of touch with them.
20:50Would you be able to mind the shop?
20:52Of course.
20:53But this isn't exactly in line with my plan.
20:55I'm sorry.
20:56It's just any spare moment I have, I go to my cousins to see Edwina.
21:00And so going home, I think I've been scared of the reminders of my husband.
21:06But now I think I'm ready.
21:08To see my dad and my brother.
21:11Anyway, that's my plan for Friday.
21:14On Saturday, I'm very much committed to your plan.
21:18Oh, two days off in a row. Emma Hart, you slacker.
21:25Uh huh.
22:04I'm sorry for not being here.
22:07Don't be sorry for that. It's a relief, if anything.
22:14I'm not just talking about when I left.
22:21I've not been the mother you deserved.
22:25Not for a long time.
22:28Not ever, perhaps.
22:37Do you remember when I was first learning to ride,
22:40and being rather pathetic about it?
22:45And that night...
22:49Father made me sleep there, in the stables.
22:52I was so against it.
22:54You came, and I begged you to take me back to the house.
23:02But you said no.
23:04That I had to face it.
23:05That it was the only way.
23:07I'm so sorry, darling.
23:08No.
23:09You were right.
23:12And you stayed with me, right through till morning.
23:19And by then I wasn't scared anymore.
23:27You were, you were a wonderful mother.
23:31Until you weren't.
23:33And that's what made it so much worse.
23:37There have been so many times where I needed...
23:40I'm here now.
23:46What is it?
23:47You can tell me.
23:50I was trying to help.
23:51I really was.
23:53And I'm bloody good at it, Pocah.
23:55Everyone says so.
23:58And things are so bad with the business,
23:59I thought that if I could make a bit of extra cash,
24:03then Father would...
24:06I got reckless.
24:07And love.
24:09Oh, Christ.
24:11I'm in such a lot of debt.
24:13And Father will be so, so upset.
24:15You leave your father to me.
24:18I'll fix it, I promise.
24:38I'll fix it.
24:50I'll fix it.
24:56All right, get ya.
25:39I didn't do your want. I'm making a right p-t of it.
25:44Not hungry anyway.
25:48Frank!
25:57Where were you?
25:59Armley. In Leeds.
26:02Why didn't you send me a dress?
26:04I didn't know where you were. We couldn't even write.
26:07I've been working all hours of the day and trying to get myself settled.
26:11What am I now?
26:14You don't look like you.
26:17We even sound like you.
26:19Frank.
26:20Please.
26:22I'm sorry.
26:24But listen, I've got so much to tell you.
26:27I don't care, am I?
26:29You can't just come walking in here after all this time, acting like nothing's happened.
26:36I suppose you don't want these presents, then?
26:39I've brought loads for you and for Dad.
26:42Come on, Frank. I'll help you clean this up and we can talk.
26:47Expecting Dad home for lunch, are you?
26:48They won't want to eat off the floor, will he?
26:57Why is this winter coat here?
27:01Is he home?
27:09Dad?
27:11Dad!
27:18Dad?
27:20I couldn't get rid of him.
27:22I couldn't get rid of any of it.
27:31I would have known.
27:33Known.
27:36In my heart, I would have felt it.
27:38I know I would.
27:39I would have.
27:42When?
27:43What happened?
27:47Shafiah?
27:49Like the milk.
27:53Here on three months ago.
27:59He had to be the hero, of course.
28:02Running into Sheffield.
28:07I wasn't here.
28:09I wasn't here.
28:12You are now.
28:14I'm sorry.
28:18Oh, Frank.
28:20I'm so sorry.
28:23And of course, we'll show you the church tomorrow.
28:26It's spectacular.
28:28Fairlies have been marrying there for centuries.
28:32To family.
28:34To family.
28:36Family.
28:37Family.
28:42Oh, look at them.
28:43Did you ever see a more handsome couple?
28:46Oh, well.
28:47Adam and I turned a few heads back in the day, didn't we, Adam?
28:50He couldn't keep his hands off me.
28:52I'm glad to say.
28:53But Edwin is more respectful.
28:58Priya, Edwin tells me that.
29:00I suppose it's different, isn't it?
29:02With a marriage of convenience.
29:04I tell.
29:05Convenience.
29:06In that it's conveniently good for business.
29:08My mother has an unusual sense of humor.
29:11Well, it is good for business, isn't it?
29:15More so for ours than yours, I suspect, Sir Vikram.
29:21Priya, it's so wonderful that you're going to be wearing Adam's mother's wedding dress.
29:25Oh, are you?
29:26That is wonderful.
29:27Yes.
29:28Something borrowed.
29:29You will fit in perfectly.
29:32In this family, you can borrow anything you like.
29:35For example, Sir Vikram, my sister has been borrowing my husband for some time.
29:40I tell.
29:43What?
29:45I'm sure Priya knows, don't you, darling?
29:47She's been sleeping under the same roof.
29:48And if she doesn't, you ought to know what she's married into.
29:52I'm so sorry, Sir Vikram.
29:54The truth is, my wife is very ill.
29:58Oh, I have never felt better.
30:14Well, this was fun.
30:27I'm so sorry.
30:29Don't do that, Livy.
30:30Don't apologize as though it was just some accident, some mistake.
30:35You wanted my husband and you took him.
30:38I've loved him for a very long time.
30:45Longer than you've loved me.
31:00Same old Aunt Lily, then?
31:01Eh.
31:02Remember when she caught Dad teaching us to whistle in the house?
31:05Satan!
31:06They're going to summon Satan!
31:08I think Dad did it on purpose to wind her up.
31:16Could have had to come and look after you.
31:19But you needn't any more.
31:21You can come to Armley, help me in the shop.
31:23I can't.
31:24I'll be starting boarding school soon.
31:26What?
31:26Yeah.
31:27The fairies are paying for it.
31:28They're being of us the kind.
31:30Why would they be doing that?
31:31I suppose they threw their ear with a dick,
31:33giving our Dad's saved Master Eglings life.
31:37Edwin.
31:39Yeah?
31:41That's who we run back in for.
31:48Emma?
31:49Emma!
31:50Emma!
32:01Emma!
32:03Oh, my God!
32:36what the hell were you playing at do you have any idea how important that marriage is you're
32:43going to lecture me on the importance of marriage adele the business is in an incredibly precarious
32:50position our finances are sake don't bore me with the details darling i shall read about them in the
32:56divorce papers we can't divorce let's see adultery yes we can be certain of that and for additional
33:06grounds i believe i shall go for cruelty cruelty you are the queen of cruelty i mean do you really
33:17blame me adele for seeking solace elsewhere elsewhere perhaps not but my sister
33:28why why did it have to be her adam because she is the only one who understood what it was
33:36like
33:37to watch you disappear you caged me too when you locked yourself in this damn room in sickness and
33:44in health adam that was the vow remember i spent years blaming myself but you abandoned me the
33:52second you saw that i was sinking you let go of my hand that is not true i tried you

40:22That's not the only reason
40:24Oh, I do apologise, I was forgetting, he owns a rather nice house as well
40:31Emma, I really think there's something here
40:34Something between us that could be remarkable, if we can just let it...
40:38I've got to do this, I've got to do this, I really am truly sorry
40:44I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can wait, if you and your husband would...
41:04He's not my husband would...
41:06He's not my husband would...
41:16I don't make a habit, I don't make a habit, I don't make a habit, I don't make a habit
41:17of wearing wedding gowns on days of not getting wed...
41:26Excuse us?
41:26Excuse us?
41:31I know it's only a quick ceremony, but I thought you might wear something a bit smarter
41:36I can't do it, I can't walk you down the aisle to a man you don't love
41:42What about David?
41:43I'm not in love with David either
41:45But there are feelings there at least, and feelings aren't important
41:49I'm not looking, I just noticed you hadn't closed up, so I'm just checking that you are still...
41:54Yes, but we'll just...
41:55Are you the groom, sir?
41:56Yes
41:58Sorry, who's that?
41:59Mr Ivins, solicitor, and I must make sure you understand the risks of guaranteeing such a very large loan
42:05If your bride cannot pay it back, the debt will be yours
42:10Only in name, the risk is all mine
42:14And I won't default, but if I did, we've agreed it'd be my stock, we'd sell off to pay it
42:19The law says I need a husband to sign on my behalf, well in 45 minutes that's exactly what I'll
42:23have
42:24No one's going into this blind, Mr Ivins
42:27Emma!
42:28I don't believe in superstition, I think we make our own luck
42:38I'm not sure what I did to get this lucky
42:41You head to the church, I won't be long
42:44Come if you like, Mr Ivins, we can discuss the terms
42:53Emma
42:54Your stock
42:56Everything you built
42:57This?
42:58This is just the foundations
42:59And the loan, what's that for?
43:01I'm buying Dewsbury Mill
43:03If I'm making my own fabric, the profit margins will be huge
43:06You don't know how to run a mill
43:08But I know a lot of men who do
43:11Men who loved my dad as much as I do
43:14Men who are dissatisfied with the current employer
43:17You're going to steal workers from the Fairleys
43:20I'm just going to make them a better offer
43:23So it's back then
43:25The rage
43:27I thought you were moving on
43:30But this is all about revenge
43:31Yes, it is, and it feels wonderful
43:34Emma
43:36A loveless marriage
43:37There are worse things
43:38Well, if you're so hell-bent on marrying someone you don't love
43:41Marry me then
43:41I already asked you once
43:44But I do love you
43:50Imagine me ruining your life
43:54Joe can help me
43:55And he wants to
43:57And he's got influence
44:00Joe's a decent man
44:01And he won't be a distraction
44:03I let myself get carried away
44:05Thinking I could put all of this behind me
44:06Put them behind me
44:08And now my father's dead
44:09That wasn't your fault
44:11Oh, I know that
44:12My father's blood's on Fairley hands
44:13And I won't rest until every drop of theirs is on mine
44:16No Fairley will ever come near me or my family
44:19Ever again
44:27You can't tell me who to love
44:28I'm a grown woman
44:31I'm simply giving you a choice
44:33Between Jim Fairley
44:35And your future at this company
44:37You don't even know him
44:39Only his surname
44:40Do you think it's a coincidence
44:41His interest in you?
44:43My grandchild
44:45My protege
44:46Neither of us knew who the other was
44:47When we first met
44:48Oh, come along, Paula
44:49Don't be so naive
44:50The whole world knows
44:52I've been training you to be me
44:54To take over everything
44:55Of course a Fairley would seek to take advantage
44:58What if this isn't about you?
45:00As incomprehensible as that may seem
45:02To someone so self-centred
45:05You have no idea what I have sacrificed
45:09What if Jim loves me for me?
45:11The fact that you think I would want to be you
45:15Surrounded by people
45:16But entirely alone
45:18No, thank you
45:19I choose life
45:33Yes, Mrs. Hart
45:34Jerry
45:36Mrs. Hart
45:37Would you call an ambulance, please?
45:40Mrs. Hart
45:42I think I'm having a heart attack
45:45Oh, my God
45:47Mrs. Hart
45:49Mrs. Hart
45:55It's Christmas Eve
45:56And there are stockings that need hanging
45:57Trees that need decking
45:58I can't just pretend to be a regular friend of your family
46:01I was hoping we might get to, uh, lie-in
46:04I fell short in that department
46:05Good morning
46:06You all right?
46:07I don't know
46:09Joe
46:09Joe deserves some consolation for his absentee wife
46:11Where's the child you had that belongs to my brother?
46:14I don't know
46:44He is screwed
46:46What?
47:00I don't know
