Short filmTranscript
00:06Welcome back, Mrs. Hart.
00:08Oh, have I been away?
00:11Charming scarf.
00:12Oh, thank you.
00:13Spring, summer, yes.
00:14And just perfect with those boots.
00:17Now, my side text presentation at 11, yes?
00:20Oh, Paula's taking that on.
00:23Her last one was a triumph.
00:25They sent her cookies.
00:44Grandy?
00:44No need for big speeches, thank you.
00:47You know, I have apologised a million times.
00:50And there's no one in the whole world I admire more than you.
00:53Oh, you are doing this speech, are you?
00:55Are you hoping I'll send you biscuits?
00:57Grandy, you have to listen to me.
01:01They know.
01:03They all know you've been ill.
01:06Some source at the hospital.
01:08They're gathering the board in London next Monday.
01:11They told everyone that you've been ill and I'm afraid.
01:17They've got the votes.
01:20They're going to oust you.
01:21Heart Enterprises, Psytex, it's all to be taken from you and put in their names.
01:28Edwina.
01:29Yes.
01:30Along with Uncle Kit, Uncle Robin and Aunt Elizabeth.
01:33I'm so sorry.
01:35What can I do?
01:41I see you've been dabbling in lycra.
01:45Oh, our new leisure wear range.
01:47You'll hate it, I'm sure, but I'm convinced it's the next big thing.
01:52Well, looks very comfortable.
01:58Zip fastening on the side would improve the lines.
02:03Leave me, would you, Paula?
02:05I'm suddenly very tired.
02:26Henry, it's Emma.
02:29I've decided I would like to go ahead.
02:34Yes, please.
02:35And we're to be certain it's absolutely watertight.
02:42My birthday?
02:45Not a thing, I imagine.
02:48What use are birthdays?
02:50Happy birthday to you.
02:55Happy birthday to you.
02:59Happy birthday, dear kid.
03:03Happy birthday to you.
03:07Woo!
03:09Right, who wants a slice?
03:11Me.
03:12Yes, please.
03:17This is madness.
03:20Pretending everything's fine.
03:22Throwing a party when we all know war could be declared any second.
03:25We'll be waiting either way.
03:27Might as well eat cake while we're doing it.
03:30Matt, business has been slowing down for months.
03:33I've had to take out loans.
03:35What does Joe say?
03:38Emma, you haven't told him.
03:41He won't hear it.
03:42He's convinced himself war won't happen.
03:44Well, maybe he's right.
03:45He's not.
03:46I need a plan.
03:51Never let a problem that can't be solved with an Emma Hart plan.
03:58Emma, Matt, family photograph.
04:01Everyone in.
04:03Come on.
04:09Come on, put your arm around your wife, man.
04:28Come on.
04:41Excuse me, sorry.
05:13Did you see?
05:14The government's going to be accepting bids for uniform manufacturers.
05:17This is it, Mac.
05:19This is how we're going to survive it.
05:22Now, I know what you're thinking.
05:23Why would they award a contract to someone who's made their name in ladies' wear,
05:26especially a woman, but I think...
05:28So you're going to start manufacturing the material
05:31before you've even won the contract?
05:33To make sure I win the contract.
05:34They can't say no, can they?
05:36Yeah, but the cost of it...
05:39It's a risk.
05:40I know it is.
05:42But the only way I can make it work is...
05:46if I sell the shops.
05:50No.
05:51No, you built those with your own blood, sweat and tears.
05:54You can't just give them up.
05:55If I don't do something drastic, the debt collectors will take them anyway.
06:03You don't think I can do it?
06:07I think you can do anything, Emma.
06:12What can I do to help?
06:13No, I'm not.
06:17No, I'm not.
06:24I'm not.
06:24No.
06:33Good night.
06:34Thanks.
06:56Ah, what a blessing, being able to have breakfast together again, both of us, with our wives.
07:04So you've settled back into your old room, have you?
07:07Yes. Fine, thank you.
07:09Well, we do appreciate you giving up the house, don't we, Adam?
07:13Yes. And once finances are back on track, we'll find you a new place.
07:19That might not be necessary.
07:21Oh?
07:23I'm signing up.
07:35Ladies, would you leave us for a moment, please?
07:38Of course.
07:48I thought you'd be pleased. You never pass off the opportunity to speak about your days at Sandhurst.
07:53If I thought this was in any way an honorable war, I'd be commending your bravery. But it isn't ours
07:59to fight.
08:00Esquith is leading our soldiers to catastrophe. Only a fool would volunteer.
08:05And I suppose I'm a fool.
08:07You do remember we own a newspaper? Yes?
08:12It's the one thing people will still be buying, Edwin.
08:16Do you have any idea how close we are to losing this house?
08:20You'll manage without me.
08:22Why? Why are you so set on this?
08:30It's the only way to make it stop.
08:32What are you talking about?
08:39Emma Hart. Emma Hart.
08:42What has that damn girl done now?
08:45It's what I did to her, Father.
08:48That's the why.
08:50Emma Hart is hell-bent on destroying us.
08:53It's why she took our mill.
08:56She's punishing me and she won't give up until I've suffered as much as she has.
09:00So this is what?
09:02A suicide mission?
09:04What could you have possibly done that is so terrible you risked your life as recompense?
09:12What?
09:15Emma and I were...
09:19Involved romantically.
09:21I'm sorry, Father.
09:24She fell pregnant and I panicked.
09:27Took no responsibility.
09:30All but sent her away entirely alone.
09:40And?
09:44What were you supposed to do?
09:47Marry her?
09:51Did you not just hear what I said about the...
09:54Oh, yes.
09:55Yes.
09:56Gerald told me years ago there was a child.
10:01You...
10:02You knew.
10:05And you're not angry.
10:06Well, it's not ideal.
10:09Obviously.
10:11But...
10:12Boys will be boys.
10:13Needs must be met.
10:14And inevitably the sort of girls who are willing are only going to be found in the service quarters.
10:18That...
10:20Not with Emma.
10:22It was...
10:23What?
10:24Love?
10:26More than love.
10:27It was everything.
10:29Whatever silly infatuation you think you had, Edwin, it hardly justifies traipsing off to France with the very real possibility
10:37you won't return.
10:38I understand the risks.
10:40It's what I have to do.
10:42And I'm sorry, Father.
10:44You won't change my mind.
10:56Morning, everyone.
10:57Now, I know this is an uncertain and anxious time for us all, so I'll get straight to the point.
11:06From today, my mills and the factory will halt production on the usual hat fabrics and designs.
11:13To produce only a durable wool for military uniforms.
11:17Which we will eventually be making on an exclusive basis for the duration of the war.
11:23Unfortunately, this will mean the closing and sale of my shops.
11:27But please don't worry.
11:28None of you will be out of work.
11:30You're all needed elsewhere.
11:31Those of you who wish to volunteer, I will continue to pay your wages to your families.
11:35Then when you return, your jobs will be here waiting for you.
11:39While you're out there, fighting to protect our future, we'll be doing everything we can to protect yours.
11:46Are there any questions?
11:48Yes.
11:50I have a few.
11:53You're selling my shops.
11:54I'm selling my shops.
11:55I bought them from you at full price.
11:58The deeds are in my name.
11:59I don't care about the deeds, Emma.
12:01These shops belong to my father.
12:03If you pull the wallpaper down in that corner, you'll see where my mother marked my height every birthday.
12:07Those memories will still exist with or without these buildings.
12:11Perhaps you don't understand what a precarious position we're in.
12:13Who is this we?
12:15You talk like we're a team, but you didn't think to ask or even tell me that you're selling my
12:19father's legacy.
12:20These are not normal times.
12:22Wouldn't your father want you to do what's needed to survive?
12:25Or maybe that's the problem.
12:27Survival isn't something you've ever had to think about before.
12:30What's that supposed to mean?
12:31These shops were handed to you.
12:33Just like everything else in your life.
12:34That doesn't mean I didn't work hard.
12:36And you just trust that I have explored every option and this is the one that'll see our family through
12:41this wretched war.
12:42Do you have so little faith in me?
12:44No.
12:44That's not fair and you know it.
12:46I had faith in you the second I saw you.
12:49I gave you a job, remember?
12:51And less than a year I let you a shop and then another Emma.
12:55I don't think there's anybody in this world who has more faith in you than I do.
13:00Mac had no doubts.
13:02Not one.
13:06Laura, please.
13:08I said I didn't want to.
13:11Laura.
13:12Emma, talk some sense into him, please.
13:14I'll listen to you.
13:14What's going on?
13:16He's signing up.
13:18Sacrificing himself for a country that's not even his.
13:20Laura.
13:20My husband's going to give his life for the whim of a government who won't give women the vote and
13:24I'm supposed to just accept it.
13:25It does seem a bit rash, Mac. It's early days.
13:28I'm not doing this for the government or the king.
13:32Can't you see?
13:33If we don't go over there and stop the Germans, they'll bring the fight to us.
13:37There's no doubt it'll reach these shores.
13:40That'll take months.
13:41Yes, the war will be over by Christmas.
13:43And what if it's not?
13:47I can't sit here waiting for them to come to us.
13:52I have to do this.
13:55To keep you safe.
13:57But we don't want you to.
13:59Do we Emma?
14:00Tell him.
14:01He's right.
14:04We have to do what we can, no matter how risky.
14:07It scares me.
14:07Of course it does.
14:08I couldn't bear the thought.
14:12But we can't be ruled by fear.
14:15This is bigger than all of us.
14:18And we've got good lives that we've worked hard for.
14:21People to protect.
14:24If we don't fight tooth and nail in whatever way we can, God knows what that'll mean for our children.
14:30Doing nothing is not the biggest risk of all.
14:56We're with you in just a second.
14:57Feel free to browse.
15:00There she is.
15:03Emma Hart.
15:07Look at you.
15:10How far you've come.
15:18Hmm.
15:20You should know that Edmund told me everything.
15:26He's got it into his head that he has to, um...
15:31He's, uh...
15:32He's volunteering to fight punishing himself for what happened between the pair of you.
15:40Now, if what Edmund says is true and your feelings for each other were in fact genuine, then...
15:46I'm sure you don't want his life at risk any more than I do.
15:53So, I thought you could write him a letter.
15:58Saying that you'll forgive him, absolving him.
16:02Maybe, just maybe, he'll see sense.
16:08No.
16:16No.
16:17A word you're unfamiliar with, Squire.
16:19I'm not as well-read as you, but I believe if you look it up in the dictionary, it means
16:23there'll be a cold day in hell before I do any such thing.
16:29Emma.
16:31My son could die.
16:32And that has absolutely nothing to do with me.
16:42Oh, you used to remind me so much of your mother.
16:47But I can see now, you're quite different.
16:51What do you know about my mother?
16:53Oh, she didn't tell you.
16:55Elizabeth.
16:56She used to serve our family much like you did.
17:00I was very fond of her.
17:04You lying?
17:05We spent a wonderful summer together.
17:07Out on the moors.
17:09In the caves.
17:11On top of the world.
17:14Only, she was able to see our time together for what it was.
17:18She didn't bear a grudge.
17:21And I'm asking you to do the same.
17:24Find it in your heart to forgive.
17:27I think it's what your mother would want.
17:36Well, why didn't you help her?
17:41She could have lived.
17:45If we could have got a doctor to see her to give her medicine, you could have paid for that.
17:53I...
17:54My father ran into a burning building to save your son.
17:57He gave his life for him.
17:59You wouldn't even give one penny for my mother's.
18:02That's hardly fair.
18:03No such thing is fair.
18:04Not in this world, though I see why you believe in it.
18:07Since every corn you've ever tossed has landed heads up.
18:09But that is just luck.
18:10All I'm trying to do is protect my child.
18:12Edwin is a grown man who is choosing to put himself in the line of fire.
18:16My mother never had a choice her whole life.
18:19No need to get upset.
18:20Oh, I'm not upset.
18:21I am burning with rage.
18:23And that will never change.
18:24You, your sons, your wife, you destroyed my family.
18:28And you could be quite sure I will not rest until I've destroyed yours.
18:55You, your侍...

19:33Oh, my God.
20:19I'll be up soon.
20:20It's already morning.
20:24Been here all night.
20:27I'm sorry.
20:30I've been thinking.
20:33And we need to give ourselves the best possible chance of winning the military uniform contract.
20:39So that's why I think you should do the presentation.
20:47What?
20:48Perform it, I mean.
20:49I'll write it.
20:50Or we can write it together.
20:52And practice it over and over until you know it back to front.
20:54Emma.
20:55I know you're angry with me about the shops, but this is for our family, for the children.
21:00Those lords are never going to give the contract to a woman.
21:03They want someone who looks like them.
21:05A man they can trust in.
21:06And I don't know a more trustworthy man than...
21:08I've signed up.
21:15You...
21:16Joe?
21:19Is this because Mac?
21:23I'm not daft, Emma.
21:26I wouldn't risk leaving our children without a father just to prove to you I'm as much of a man
21:30as he is.
21:33I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
21:37But how could I ever look them in the eye?
21:40Kit and Edwina.
21:42If I didn't do everything I could to protect them.
21:48But...
21:50I need you.
21:55Sorry, Emma.
21:58I didn't know.
22:02You never have done before.
22:25People worried the Boer War would last for years.
22:28And look how quickly that ended.
22:31Weren't there too, Boer War was?
22:33Yes.
22:34The second one lasted three years.
22:39Still, I'm sure that this time next year we'll all be back to our normal lives and everyone will be
22:43so grateful to you for your bravery, Edwin.
22:46Yes, I'm sure you'll be a huge asset on the battlefield.
22:49With all your experience, wielding pens and fanning about the newsroom.
22:54I'm looking forward to the parades.
22:56I'm looking forward to the parades when it's over.
22:58I expect there'll be some.
22:59Yes, it's a parade.
23:01That should make all the death worth it.
23:07What?
23:09What?
23:10He's obviously not coming.
23:11He is.
23:12No.
23:16He isn't.
23:25He isn't.
23:29Everyone's wondering where you are.
23:32I thought you'd be too busy drinking champagne, toasting the stupidest decision that everyone's ever made.
23:42Adam, it's not too late to tell him how you feel.
23:45I made that perfectly clear.
23:57I don't want you to have any regrets.
24:00They're poisonous.
24:03I wish I'd told Adele.
24:05Yes, perhaps if you had, instead of whatever it was you said that drove her back to the drink, she'd
24:11still be here.
24:28Edwina, love, listen.
24:30Do you understand what Daddy's saying?
24:33That I've got to go away for a little while.
24:35Can I come?
24:37No, love.
24:40Daddy's got an important job to do.
24:42I'll be back before you know it.
24:44For Christmas.
24:49Yeah.
24:51For Christmas.
24:59You should sleep.
25:02You'll need it.
25:09It's for the birthdays.
25:12I've got up to Edwina's 16th, which is impossible to imagine, isn't it?
25:24Will you, um...
25:26Will you, um...
25:29If I don't...
25:35You will.
25:36You will.
25:50You...
25:51You will.
26:06You will.
26:14I don't know.
26:44I don't know.
27:06I don't know.
27:07I don't know.
27:07I don't know.
27:09I don't know.
27:14Edwin?
27:16Yes?
27:18I hope you find peace.
27:24I know that's a strange thing to say, given...
27:29But it seems to me as though that's what you're looking for.
27:34That's what you've always been looking for.
27:38You might be right about that.
27:42But...
27:45I'm not sure I deserve it.
28:01I'm sorry.
28:04I know you wanted this to be.
28:06I...
28:08I never should have pretended I was capable of giving you what you wanted.
28:32You shouldn't wait for me.
28:35Whatever happens, don't wait.
28:39You deserve that heart-soaring love you've always dreamed of.
28:47The kind you had with Emma.
28:56How?
28:56I found the letters.
29:00Oh God.
29:02That's why I had to alter my dress.
29:07I wanted to meet her.
29:11I can see why she made your heart so...
29:16I'm sorry you lost her.
29:20I'm sorry you lost her.
29:21I'm sorry why...
29:52Even more, children...
29:53Thank you very much.
29:53True.
29:53All right.
29:56Sovereign...
29:59Oh God.
30:06Wow!
30:13You're right there.
30:37Safe chance.
30:49We'll be back.
32:11I love you.
32:16You don't.
32:18But that's okay.
32:22It's never made me regret a second of it.
32:26It's a privilege being your husband.
32:30That's one that I won't let go of easily.
32:32So you can be sure I will find my way back to you.
33:01I told you, didn't I?
33:04I'm no good at these.
33:05It wasn't good by then and it isn't now.
33:08Don't even say it.
33:10Say see you soon because you will.
33:13You have to.
33:15There's no me without you Shane O'Neil.
33:18Not since that first morning we met on the Mars.
33:22So don't go being the hero.
33:25I know that will be hard for you but I need you back here.
33:39See you soon then Emma.
33:47Yeah.
33:53Yeah.
33:55Yeah.
34:08Yeah.
34:10Yeah.
34:14Yeah.
34:20Yeah.
36:43You've got your presentation.
36:45I can't win without Joe.
36:47They'll never take me seriously.
36:48That's what a woman would say.
36:51Now, a man with all your achievements
36:55and a proposal as good as yours,
36:57he would go in there and act like he'd already won.
37:07Adam.
37:09She killed my son.
37:13Who has?
37:16Well, Adam, Edwin's not dead.
37:20She'll pay.
37:22I'll make sure that woman pays.
37:25Who?
37:28I'm a heart.
37:45I'm a heart.
37:55Thinking I had to do it all on my own.
37:58I didn't notice the sacrifices you made.
38:01The quiet strength you were offering.
38:04How you loved me, supported me, and trusted me.
38:09Without asking for anything.
38:10Without asking for anything in return.
38:12It was unforgivable deciding to sell the shops.
38:15So I've taken them off the market.
38:18Yes, we are in significant debt.
38:22But some things are more important than money.
38:26When the proud owner of two mills and the factory group one
38:29was poised to begin sewing our soldiers' uniforms as soon...
38:34Immediately.
38:35I have every faith that I'll win the bid
38:38for the military uniform contract.
38:40Just as I have every faith that you'll come home to me.
38:44And when you do, Jo, I'll be the partner you deserve.
38:49I promise you that.
39:16Gentlemen, our men, fathers, brothers, sons, husbands,
39:21including my own, are out on the fields of France
39:23fighting for king and country.
39:25The least we can do is provide them
39:27with the best possible uniforms
39:28to aid their path to victory.
39:30The most durable wool, the most functional designs.
39:34And I am the person to make that happen.
39:37I know I'm not the usual sort to stand before you.
39:39As you've likely observed, I'm not a man.
39:45But I ask you to pay attention not to who I am,
39:48but to what I'm offering.
39:51I am the proud owner of two mills
39:53and a factory full of workers
39:55poised to begin sewing our soldiers' uniforms immediately,
39:58subject to your approval of my designs.
40:01I've already begun producing the fabric needed
40:03at my own cost.
40:05I knew that inflation on the price of raw materials
40:07would be coming, and fast.
40:08So the day war was declared,
40:11I secured the wool needed to make 16,000 uniforms
40:13at a price of one shilling per pound.
40:16If you were to buy that wool today,
40:17you wouldn't be able to get it
40:18for less than one shilling and three pence.
40:21Tomorrow, it will be higher.
40:23And that's how I know that not one of the men
40:25you've heard from so far
40:26will be able to offer you
40:27a more competitive price than I can.
40:29Time is not a luxury we have, gentlemen.
40:31The war has begun.
40:33Pick me, and not only can I offer you
40:35the highest quality at the lowest price,
40:37but I can begin today.
40:46I've had an idea.
40:48And it's rather brilliant, if I do say so myself.
40:51Oh, well, let's hear it.
40:53You should join the VAD.
40:55We can train together.
40:56Oh, it'll be so much more fun
40:59if it's the two of us.
41:00I really think you'd get something out of it.
41:03Well, I don't think so.
41:05Why not?
41:06Well, I don't think Adam would...
41:09I mean, he needs me here,
41:11especially with Edwin gone.
41:13And what about what you need?
41:15Well, I...
41:17I don't...
41:18I'm...
41:19I'm fine.
41:21Are you?
41:23Yes.
41:27What?
41:29Nothing.
41:29It's just...
41:31You seem to spend a lot of time
41:33worrying about Mr Fairley's needs,
41:35but...
41:36he doesn't seem to give yours a second thought.
41:41What a thing to say.
41:42That's not true.
41:45Isn't it?
41:47No.
41:48I...
41:49Look, I know Adam can be...
41:53But he's been through an awful lot.
41:56I mean, he lost his wife.
41:57And you lost your sister?
41:59Yes, yes, I did.
42:00I lost her.
42:00We both lost someone that we adored that day.
42:03And it was my fault,
42:04because I broke Adele's heart.
42:06I betrayed her.
42:06I drove her back to the drink.
42:09You broke her heart?
42:10All on your own?
42:11And what about Mr Fairley?
42:13I was the last person to speak to her.
42:15No, you weren't.
42:17I was.
42:19No, it was...
42:21Mr Fairley.
42:23I heard him.
42:24In Mrs Fairley's room.
42:26Arguing, saying the cruelest things
42:28it was only a few hours before she...
42:32Are you making this up?
42:34No.
42:36I swear.
42:41Thank you so much, Lod Acton.
42:43I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity.
42:45You're welcome.
42:46You've got my details, haven't you?
42:47If you have any further questions...
42:49Charles!
42:49Yes, just...
42:51Adam Fairley!
42:52Charlie!
42:53Good to see you, old boy.
42:54How long's it been?
42:56How's that horse of yours running?
42:58Huh?
42:59I'm going to insist that you dine with us again soon.
43:01I know, Olivia's just dying to see Penny.
43:05Now, regarding those uniforms...
43:07I think we could be the perfect call.
43:09I want to be there,
43:10and I want to be in control.
43:12I want to keep that.
43:31The contract's lost.
43:34I lost.
43:36But it's okay.
43:38There'll be a way, won't there?
43:40Find a way to fix it.
43:42Fix everything.
43:45And I haven't come up with a plan yet.
43:47But I always do.
43:52I don't know.
43:53I don't know.
43:55I don't know.
44:05Who?
44:36Mommy, mommy!
44:40Mommy, why are you crying?
44:44I love you.
44:48I love you, Edwina.
44:53No, I haven't heard from Edwina for a while.
44:57But I'll give her your regards.
45:01And watertight.
45:03Yes?
45:05All right, goodbye.
45:15Would you send Paula in, please?
45:19No more secrets, Paula.
45:21Agreed?
45:22No more secrets.
45:24And I'd like you to contact the family, please.
45:27I believe I'm going to have that birthday party, after all.
45:30Ask Jerry to make travel arrangements.
45:33The whole clan.
45:34For this weekend.
45:35This weekend?
45:37Before Monday.
45:38That's right.
45:38My children can celebrate with me en route to their famous meeting.
45:43Let's make this an occasion to remember.
45:47We're going home.
45:56Good to be home.
45:57Always.
45:59We need to preserve our legacy at all costs.
46:02And I think I've got the answer.
46:03A partnership with the Fairleys.
46:04I would have spat if someone suggested it before now.
46:07Are all the traitors present?
46:10Let's get started, shall we?
46:25We're going home.
46:30Bye.
46:30Bye.
46:31Bye.
46:32Bye.
46:33Bye.
46:34Bye.
46:35Bye.
46:36Bye.
46:38Bye.
