00:10Wait for a day, wait for a night, trust at your tone, so you'd never know, it's me.
00:44How are those helicopter lessons coming along, Stephen, but I might set up a few for myself.
00:51Mrs. Hart, I need two minutes of your time.
00:54One will be more than ample, Mr. Fairley.
00:57I've come with a warning.
01:00Theatrical?
01:01Mrs. Hart, I'm assuming you haven't seen the news about the crash in Hart's share prices, and about the leak.
01:08A source from inside your company has intimated to the press that you're fragile, losing control.
01:17They've provided them with your confidential medical records.
01:24And with Hart's stocks already 12% down on the LSE, things are looking bleak for the world's richest woman,
01:30Anna Hart, whose retail empire is reeling today from revelations about her health status.
01:36Stephen?
01:37Yes, Mrs. Hart?
01:38I'm going to walk.
01:39Oh, ma'am.
01:40Mrs. Hart, this isn't an easy thing to broach, but I believe...
01:45Thanks.
02:01Mrs. Hart, I hope by warning you, proves I can be trusted.
02:06Hello?
02:07Morning, Ted.
02:10Hello?
02:11Hello?
02:12Hello?
02:13Hello?
02:13Hello?
02:14Hello?
02:15Hello?
02:15Hello?
02:28Happy anniversary, Bernie.
02:30That sure rolls around.
02:32Perfumes, ground floor.
02:33Jewelry, floor three.
02:35Otherwise, dog houses, floor six.
02:38My regards to Cheryl.
02:40Please, I know this must be a shop.
02:42A friend of yours, Mrs. Hart?
02:44Hardly.
02:44Mrs. Hart?
02:45Please, let me help.
02:46I know how hard you've worked for all this.
02:48Now the papers are saying you're finished.
02:50Mrs. Hart?
03:01God, Grandy, we tried to get a message to you.
03:03What do we know?
03:03Are you all right?
03:04Those hospital records they have, are they...
03:06A complete fabrication.
03:07Where's it come from, this week?
03:09We've no idea, but it's rather detailed, I'm afraid.
03:11It appears one of the board.
03:13We need to control their narrative with press releases.
03:15A full page spread in every outlet you own.
03:17Oh, and a dog, but who knows I don't?
03:21Accountants.
03:22Henry's in Aspen, Mrs. Hart, at his daughter's wedding.
03:24Insures are down 14% now.
03:27Jerry!
03:41I took the stairs.
03:44One unwelcome appearance of a morning might be considered an intrusion to verges on trespass.
03:52Jerry, send in security.
03:53There's a wasp at the picnic.
03:56Mrs. Hart, I'm trying to earn your trust, and I hope perhaps this endless feud...
03:59Oh, I wouldn't call it a feud.
04:02What would you call it, then?
04:03Well, I don't get involved in semantics.
04:05Um, a war?
04:08It's vital to me you realize I am better than the rest of my family.
04:10Oh, well, that's an exceptionally unambitious claim.
04:14Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mole to un-earth.
04:18But it's not just some anonymous board member.
04:20Mrs. Hart, I know who it is.
04:24It's your children.
04:28If you think for one moment that I'd trust you, Mr. Fairley...
04:33I know you have dedicated your entire life to the hatred of my family.
04:38Oh, now, you're quite wrong, Mr. Fairley.
04:41Hatred happens in secret, with neither purpose nor aspiration.
04:46No, what I've dedicated my life to...
04:50is revenge.
05:15I'm looking for Fairley Hall.
05:18Sorry to startle you.
05:20I'm, uh, repairing their chimneys.
05:26Shane O'Neill is the name.
05:29But the whole world calls me Mac.
05:37You can keep up.
05:38You can follow.
05:51My mom calls at the top of the world.
05:57Keep up!
06:13Well, I think that'll do with me.
06:16What do you reckon?
06:18Ever smelt a rose?
06:19Has that had a wasp in it.
06:34Edmund.
06:34Emma.
06:37I thought you didn't graduate till summer.
06:41Any excuse to come home?
06:46Well, you'll have missed your family.
06:48Have you known my family?
06:50My father's hosting a weekend for some, dignitary or other.
06:54You're supposed to impress them.
06:57Well, good luck.
06:58Being impressive.
07:02Emma.
07:11It's nice to have done your look.
07:14For the chimneys, Shane O'Neill that the whole world calls a Mac.
07:19This is Edwin.
07:20Master Edwin.
07:25Emma Hart!
07:33Sorry.
07:40Right, pay attention, you lot.
07:43Mary.
07:43Beds, baths, bedpans.
07:45Holly.
07:46In with the mistress, as usual.
07:48Finally.
07:51Emma.
07:52Silverware, grates, glassware, all stairs and floors.
07:55And on time in future.
07:56And on time in future.
08:10Here we are.
08:24And on time in future.
08:43Perhaps you'd like to treat yourself to some toast with that jam.
08:46What erosion in all things?
08:49Except preserves.
08:53Did your father tell you how cleverly he ironed out his issue with that foreman?
08:57Yes. All ships shaped at the mill, largely. Thanks to you.
09:02Well, if Sir Vikram's impressed with you, it would all have been worthwhile.
09:06Edward, did I tell you?
09:08The Chandras, Sir Vikram and his daughter Priya, are coming to us straight from his trading meetings at Downing Street.
09:14He did say yes.
09:17Gosh, we must do our very best to get the Chandras on side.
09:20Let's see if we can't do our bit for Anglo-Indian relations.
09:24Well, Edward never lets anyone down.
09:27Sure, it's gonna happen.
09:27No.
09:30No.
09:56Okay.
10:04Emma.
10:06What are you doing?
10:07That kiss.
10:08The morning I left.
10:09In the stable.
10:10We mustn't.
10:11We never should have.
10:12I know.
10:12We've resisted for so long.
10:14Your lips.
10:15The taste of your mouth.
10:16It's all I can think about.
10:17We can't.
10:19They catch us.
10:20I don't care.
10:21Do you?
10:22Yes.
10:22You don't have a job to lose.
10:24Emma, this isn't some whim.
10:25Emma, this is you and me.
10:28Running, laughing.
10:29Telling each other everything.
10:32But it's different now, isn't it?
10:34Since that kiss, it's changed.
10:36How can it not be better?
10:38I know you, Emma.
10:40I know you feel it, too.
10:42I can't.
10:44I don't.
10:47I do.
10:48I do, of course.
10:48I do, but I mustn't.
10:50I mustn't.
11:01Something on your mind?
11:05Someone.
11:06Mam.
11:09I know those mill boys finish early on a Saturday, but you stay focused, do you?
11:15Did you get your extra dining money?
11:18I have.
11:22Keep climbing, Emma.
11:26You're talented.
11:27With your dressmaking.
11:29You've an eye.
11:30I've got two.
11:33And if you're smart, which I know you are, you can get out to Fairway.
11:38Don't be like me, you hear?
11:40Remember your plan with a capital P.
11:43Get out and get on.
11:47Or the rest of us, if we're bowing him fairly, we'll die here.
11:52But you won't get trapped.
11:55Remember, without money, you're vulnerable.
11:58So stay focused.
11:59And if a chance comes, you grab it.
12:04You hear me?
12:12McQueen.
12:13So don't get distracted.
12:15Don't take your eye off the board.
12:18Keep thinking ahead.
12:19Three moves at least.
12:33I'll finish tomorrow.
12:35Shall we?
12:36Aye, love.
12:38She's tired again.
12:40I was thinking, might we find money to at least talk to a doctor?
12:43We won't afford medicine.
12:46Are your mum all right?
12:49She's fine.
12:52Shh.
12:53You sleep.
12:54Hmm.
13:11Well, that's football for you, son.
13:13Tell you now, I don't know how Bradford think they've got a catty nails chance against Newcastle after that show
13:18at Blackburn.
13:18Oh, Blackburn.
13:19Yeah, look.
13:20Dreadful results.
13:21Dreadful.
13:22Mum's not burning up as much as I say.
13:24No?
13:25Well, she's a fighter.
13:27Your mum, she fights.
13:28Like me.
13:29I can fight, can't I, Dad?
13:31All right, we'll get him here.
13:32Heavyweight, aren't you, son?
13:33Go on, get him in the belly.
13:35Go on, big man.
13:36See where you got, son.
13:39You know, your dad's getting old, Dad.
13:41Small but powerful.
13:42Look at that.
13:44Hey, he's on a slice already.
13:48Have a good day, Dad.
13:51It's all right.
13:52Yo.
13:53Small but greedy, more like.
14:13Just talk so nice.
14:15If they catch her, I can look after myself.
14:45Holly.
14:48Well, look at that.
14:50My husband finally come to see me.
14:53I had time to kill.
14:56Flatterer.
15:00I like your shirt.
15:02It's ancient.
15:03Well, a bit like me, then.
15:05Hmm.
15:06Perhaps that's why I like it.
15:10How do I seem to you, Adam?
15:12I hate not to live up to your expectations.
15:15Every man has the right to expect his madwife in the attic to behave appropriately.
15:32I should not go.
15:33I should not go.
15:37But you wanted to go.
15:45I'm always here, Squire Fair.
15:48I watch you from the window, wondering if you'll come.
15:52When you're riding your horses, holding on tight.
15:55No.
15:57No.
16:00No.
16:01No.
16:01No.
16:01No.
16:01No.
16:01No.
16:02No.
16:03No.
16:03No.
16:04No.
16:06No.
16:10No.
16:11No.
16:11No.
16:12No.
16:13No.
16:19Mrs Fairley's waiting.
16:22Polly's on an errand?
16:25She does realize she's the lady's maid.
16:27She's got responsibilities.
16:30I'll take it.
16:51You're not Polly.
16:52I'm Emma, Mrs. Fairley.
16:54Emma Hart.
16:55Well, Emma Hart.
16:57My husband is leaving, but don't worry.
17:00He always comes back again.
17:02We're busy downstairs.
17:03There's a party this weekend.
17:05I like parties.
17:07Yes, but my bad wife never dares leave her room.
17:10How many years, Adele?
17:12Since you said foot downstairs.
17:15It's not a big event.
17:17It's only family and a few locals.
17:19Are you trying to remove me from this family?
17:21Oh, you removed yourself from this family a long time ago.
17:24Olivia will be there.
17:25A wife's sister isn't a substitute for a wife, Adam.
17:28I only mean that she knows the business,
17:31and I think it would be safer.
17:32I can be safe.
17:34I can be charming.
17:36Don't you think, Adam?
17:39Fine.
17:41Is today the day, Adele?
17:44Can you find the courage?
17:53Come down, sirs.
17:57What you need to understand is we work damn hard in this Chandra deal.
18:01We!
18:01A lot of clever people, Adele.
18:03Maybe one of whom is sober and fully dressed.
18:16Why don't you sit down, Mrs. Fairley.
18:18Sit down.
18:20And just breathe.
18:21Slow breathe.
18:22ļæ½
18:35Way.
18:41Come down, we!
18:42Come down, let's breathe!
18:51I was just watering the plants, obviously.
19:04Have you seen Adele?
19:09How is she?
19:11Almost the same.
19:14Lost.
19:23Do you ever get frightened?
19:26Yes, of course. You're a woman.
19:30Men get frightened, too.
19:32Oh, men are only frightened of boredom and dying.
19:37Neither of those worry me.
19:40What is it, then, Mrs Fairley?
19:42What scares you?
19:45I'm frightened of disappearing.
19:47Of being forgotten.
19:49Most people just assume you're nobody and then dismiss you.
19:54Do you know that?
19:56Yes, I do.
20:00Every morning, I get dressed.
20:04And I do my hair.
20:06And I have every intention of going down to breakfast.
20:10Or to some fabulous party.
20:12Like when I was a girl.
20:14And some days, I try so hard to leave the room.
20:19But it all feels too much.
20:22So, I have to find other ways to get Adam's attention.
20:30Meanwhile, my sister swans around downstairs,
20:33doing everything I should do.
20:37She seems to find the world easy.
20:41But you're the lady of the house, Mrs Fairley.
20:43You have such lovely things.
20:45Oh.
20:45Your clothes.
20:46Well, I have marvellous clothes.
20:48And you've got your husband.
20:49And your sons.
20:51My babies.
20:53Well, your sister's got none of those.
20:54So I expect she might be frightened of you.
21:01Oh, is it?
21:15Are you a bush?
21:17Well sorted.
21:19Lonely business, being a master of disguise.
21:26How's your plan, Emma?
21:27Still coming on?
21:28Of course.
21:29I'm doing my mending.
21:31If I can make my wages up before shillings a week,
21:33I might be able to get to leave.
21:36Emma Hart!
21:37You're a visitor.
21:48Dad says you're to come.
21:50Hi, Emma.
22:03Don't wait for me.
22:04I'll just throw you down.
22:05Don't be daft.
22:06We have to both go.
22:07Honest.
22:07I've said goodbye.
22:08You go.
22:10Please.
22:10Please.
22:11Go.
22:12I'm sorry.
22:14I love you.
22:16Go.
22:16Go.
22:18Go.
22:40I'm coming, Mom.
22:42I'm coming.
22:43I'm coming.
22:57I'll come, man.
22:58I've got it.
22:59You go.
23:12Look at me.
23:15She's not left, love.
23:19Mom.
23:20It's me.
23:21It's Emma.
23:24I waited for you.
23:29I'm scared.
23:32Get out.
23:34Get on, Emma.
23:36You hear me?
23:37Promise me?
23:38Promise me.
23:40Emma, baby.
23:42See you.
23:43I'm here.
23:49Now, where's your dad?
23:51I'm here.
23:56I'm here.
23:58It's time.
24:02Dad.
24:04Dad.
24:05What are you doing?
24:06I don't know.
24:07I've got you in the hole.
24:08Dad.
24:09Oh, no.
24:10What are you doing?
24:12Dad.
24:15Dad.
24:17Mom.
24:18Mommy.
24:20Why are you taking her?
24:21The top of the world.
24:31They're not beautiful.
24:37No.
24:37No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
24:39Dad!
24:42Oh, no.
24:43No, no, no, no, no, no.
24:45Dad!
24:46We're going to the top of the world.
24:48That's where we gotta be.
25:09I'm so sorry
25:11I'm so sorry
25:12I'm so sorry
25:18Are you really trying for me?
25:25You must laugh
25:54Are you here, are you?
25:56About time
25:58No time for moping
25:59In my heart
26:01I missed half a day yesterday
26:02And we'll be partying tomorrow
26:09It's a lovely morning out there
26:12So, no need for these, I don't think
26:20You made any progress with your book?
26:29Would you like me to read to you again?
26:30I wouldn't like
26:31No, not at all
26:35Right
26:37I heard there was to be a party
26:39Oh, Sir Vikram
26:42He's terribly important
26:44So I suspect desperately boring
26:47Well
26:49Thank you for stepping in
26:52Well, no, it's not a question of stepping in
26:55You know, just while I'm here
26:56For your sake
27:00I may as well every now and again
27:01Run my eyes over Adam's business papers
27:05What else do you run your eye over?
27:09At all
27:14Olivia
27:15Why would any man ever be beguiled by beige
27:19When he has every colour of the rainbow upstairs?
27:25You'll need a rest, I expect
27:28Then perhaps tomorrow I could
27:29Will you read to me?
27:30How wonderful
27:32You know
27:34You would have made a charming mother, Olivia
27:49Emma
27:55I was, um
27:59I heard about your mother
28:07I've been thinking, sir
28:08Might I be considered to look after Mrs
28:15Would you be considered to what?
28:21I believe, Squire Fairley
28:23That it's important to take your chances in life
28:25And I reckon I understand the mistress
28:28So I was wondering
28:29If I might look after her from now on
28:31As a personal maid
28:34I think if you asked the mistress
28:35Does she like that too?
28:39Are we thinking for
28:39She'll need tomorrow a week?
29:10When you know loss
29:11Emma
29:13It can suddenly feel like it's all you know
29:16But you know a whole lot
29:19So that's what you hold on to, do you hear?
29:23Because you're hungry
29:25Isn't that right?
29:27And when you've known hunger
29:30Well, sure
29:30You stay hungry
29:32Emma Hart
29:35What have you been saying to the master?
29:40From now on
29:41He says it's your job
29:43To take the mistress's tray
29:46Well, I don't know why you're standing still
29:47When the mistress is upstairs waiting
29:55Emma?
30:01I finally feel like I'm being taken care of
30:05So much for friends
30:07I'm sorry, I have a family to look after
30:10I know what Mrs. Fairley likes
30:12But it's about what she needs
30:13And when she needed you
30:14You were with the master
30:16Oh well, isn't she lucky
30:18Having you to show her
30:19Just how life's done
30:20Blame me if you like, Paul
30:22Either if you do, I'm sure
30:22But I know he's really disheartened himself
30:30Stay there
30:32Come back here, you little rat
30:34You'll never be a lady Emma Hart
30:35Your dad's a layabout
30:37And your mam
30:38Your mam spent her all life
30:40Trying to be better than us too
30:41Then prove she weren't after all
30:43By dying of being poor
30:52Enough! Enough!
30:58Enough!
31:00Absolute disgrace!
31:01A pair of you!
31:02Come here
31:03What have you got to say?
31:04Hey?
31:04She tied me!
31:06She tied me!
31:07Hey, fetch your things!
31:10Come on
31:11No
31:11No
31:13Oh
31:14Gerald
31:15Gerald
31:16Gerald, I was running errands for you, wasn't I?
31:18Tell him
31:21I don't know what you're talking about
31:22Good decision, Murgershroid
31:24We have dogs to do our attacking
31:35Mothers
31:36Come and go
31:37That is how life works, Emma Hart
31:40And jobs are the same if you're not careful
31:42No
31:47We always used to look out for each other
31:50Now we're fighting like animals
31:52This place is wicked
31:55All the mountains of food going to waste
31:57And your mother talking about dreams
31:59Do you know what my dad dreams of?
32:01Survival
32:03That my mam might have
32:08He should have lived
32:11I'm sorry
32:13I'm so sorry about your mother
32:15When I grow up
32:16I won't ever be poor
32:19I won't ever want for anything
32:20Like my mam did every last second of her life
32:22None of my family will
32:23I promise you that
32:24I promise you
32:25Emma, you've got me
32:25My world's not yours
32:27My father breaks his back hauling bricks
32:29While your father sits ordering lunch
32:31While his workers half-starved
32:33Your family will want you to marry some rich girls
32:35So that when you're a fancy lawyer
32:36She'll get right in
32:38Emma
32:40Listen to me
32:42You're talking about other people
32:44Not the two of us
32:46You and I are just the same
32:50Only one of us discovered an egg
32:57Only one of us discovered an egg
32:59What's all this, Frank?
33:01Eh?
33:05I bumped my head
33:08I bumped my head
33:10My mamma was just to kiss it better
33:14But also
33:16Where do I keep bloody bumping it?
33:21Because you're a hooligan
33:23And foul mouths too
33:26Come on
33:27I'll cry until the bloody washing up's done
33:39This party today
33:40I should go
33:42Shouldn't I?
33:43I must, but
33:45Will I survive?
33:47When I'm drinking
33:48I might do anything
33:51Which is, of course, the curse and the bliss of it
33:53There's your answer
33:54No drinking
33:55Let's get your dress for now, Mrs Fairley
33:56Then see what comes next
33:58Is it beautiful enough, do you think?
34:01If I just take these roses off
34:02No!
34:04You'll ruin it
34:05It'll be dry, won't it?
34:06It won't, Mrs Fairley
34:07It'll be elegant
34:08I can change the neckline
34:09These sleeves
34:11Maybe even a slit in the skirt
34:12Trust me
34:20I remember having your skin
34:24Just keep breathing, Mrs Fairley
34:27And when you're nervous
34:29Put your hand on your heart
34:31And check it's still there
34:46You'll go downstairs and look kindly at your sister
34:49We'll tell you stories
34:50And let the whole room admire you
34:52You can do it, Mrs Fairley
34:54Of course you can
35:25I'm sorry, may I?
35:32You've been very quiet
35:33How do you know this?
35:34About the party
35:36Oh no, I'm fine
35:41It's stupid
35:43Tell me
35:47I know I'm only here to fill in for my sister
35:50I'm only playing the part of
35:53But
35:54Some days it feels real
35:55It does
35:56It feels real to me too
35:58Sometimes
36:02I barely used to eat in the morning
36:04You know
36:06There was no one to share things with
36:09I had no conversation
36:10No partner
36:11And now it's
36:16You
36:33Sorry, I should have...
36:51You see, the trick is to not let any of the ringleaders on the mill floor think they have the
36:55upper hand
36:56Although in the case of the girl that had the accent, it's the only hand she's got
37:01What about you, Edwin?
37:03Any thoughts on keeping workers in check?
37:06Truthfully, sir, I'm not sure it's up to us to actually...
37:09I'm afraid we have an idealist on our hands, Sir Vigra
37:13But...
37:14He's a bright lad
37:17Well, Edwin, if you are a free thinker, you sound the same as Priya, isn't that right, Priya?
37:23Depends on how free he is and...
37:25What he thinks about
37:30It goes without saying, doesn't it, Adam, that anyone who invests in our mill will benefit from the unprecedented profit
37:36margins that we mentioned earlier
37:40Yes
37:40You must be a busy man, Squire Ferry
37:43My sister-in-law never off duty and... I hear, her wife upstairs
37:49Yes, uh...
37:50My wife sends her apologies, she's...
37:53Unwell
37:56A party? For little old me?
38:07A party? For little old me?
38:25Oh, Olivia, you look charming
38:27Adele, how wonderful to see you up and about
38:34Oh, goodness, darling
38:36What a dress, you're a picture
38:41It's a big room
38:43This is my wife
38:56We are the same, Emma
39:00We're just the same
39:08Though, admittedly, right now I feel a fair bit sillier than you
39:11It's sharper in the fact that I... shell and so on
39:14You're supposed to be impressing them inside
39:16They'll be around
39:17I don't care about any of them
39:19It is wicked here, you're quite right
39:22It's unbearable
39:26It's just neither of us bear it
39:28It's just never the same
39:43Emma!
39:46Come on!
39:47Come on!
39:47Emma!
39:58You're beautiful.
40:00You're beautiful.
40:02I'm covered in egg.
40:25You're getting it everywhere.
40:29I'll be such a row if I'm not back.
40:32Do you want to go back?
40:48You're all wet.
40:50You're not cold.
41:02Oh.
41:13What is it?
41:15Rings.
41:19Who's there?
41:24I'd never hide you.
41:26But we mustn't.
41:29I'm not.
41:31I'm not.
41:39I'm not.
41:41I'm not.
42:11I love you, Emma.
42:14I love you my whole life.
42:23I love you, Emma.
42:26I love you, Emma.
