05:20the
05:20no
05:20good
05:28yes
05:29that
05:31it
05:33Ever thought you might like a child of your own, James?
05:36No.
05:39Look, neither of us knew our dads, and yet here we are,
05:43doing this with no personal experience to draw her upon.
05:46And look at them. They think it's Christmas.
05:50And I was expecting you to make me punish them.
05:52Relativity, George.
05:54Ah, a family they never had.
05:57I meant it's better the child in our care is fed,
05:59and we'll punish the child in the care of the turnout for you.
06:03Oh.
06:46It's me.
06:47I'll follow that's the price here.
06:52You in there. Come on out.
06:55Surrender yourself. I'll shoot you down as a common thief.
07:10If anything's missing, we could still arrest her.
07:14It doesn't appear to be.
07:15If she got away and behind it.
07:19There you go, Tommy. Back where it belongs.
07:22Bit rusty, but a spot of oil will fix it.
07:25140 delegates.
07:27I'm there for one mil.
07:28The Mosley man was representing 12.
07:30The Ashton delegate spoke for 30,000 people.
07:34It's a parliament.
07:35A working-class parliament.
07:37How does that feel, Tommy?
07:39Can I keep it?
07:41It's yours.
07:42Half a million people are out.
07:44From Dundee to Merthyr.
07:47What about strike pay?
07:49Five bob for a married man.
07:51Three bob for a single man.
07:54A union man pays in a penny a week.
07:56He's entitled to strike pay.
07:58Anyone who hasn't paid.
07:59I'd paid.
08:01I'd tried to pay.
08:02You have to go back tomorrow, Tommy.
08:04Now you've got your hand back.
08:06If there's any consolation,
08:08there's that many men out of the strike fund
08:09walk stretch to more than a week.
08:11That's what distract doesn't.
08:31I know, I know, baby, I know.
08:33I don't have anything for you yet,
08:35but in a couple of hours, eh?
08:38I know, I know.
08:41What's it say?
08:44Can't you guess?
08:48Go back to work, Price.
08:50Your baby's hungry.
08:51Go to hell, knobstick.
08:54Is it knobstick?
08:58Oi!
08:59Oi, clear up!
09:12I'm going out to trap something.
09:13Do you know how?
09:15Grandad's been teaching me.
09:16Used to be the best poacher in three counties.
09:18According to him.
09:21Hey, be careful.
09:25I was walking around to put him to sleep.
09:27I wasn't...
09:28I know.
09:29Give him here.
09:30I'll bring you over in a couple of hours.
09:31Give him here.
09:35Hey, got a spud you can have?
09:37I don't want to.
09:39Well, you're eating for three.
09:41Take it as this week's wages.
09:43What am I, a knobstick?
09:46It's not work.
09:47It's time to solve it, honey.
09:50Oh, yeah.
09:59Excuse me, sir.
10:01I have something here from a man who can't come today.
10:05It's a letter of condolence, he said, for one of Mrs. Gregg's nephews.
10:09He asked me to make sure it was delivered before Mrs. Gregg's funeral.
10:16Of course.
10:36My mother had just two sisters.
10:38They had at least a dozen children between them.
10:40My father was one of ten.
10:42There could be a hundred nephews.
10:45I don't recall a Vernon in the family, do you?
10:48No.
10:49Perhaps he was delivered to the wrong church.
10:51Deal with this, Wendell.
11:02It's a mistake.
11:11People are starving and we're spending money on pay.
11:14People are responsible for this and responsible for their own hunger.
11:23Poaches, probably.
11:24Or Stanford's bought in extra gamekeepers.
11:26How's it come to this?
11:34Who's that gunshot?
11:36Why?
11:37Was it?
11:38Why?
11:39Where's Will?
11:40Where is he?
11:45Is that gun?
11:46Has Will gone punching for you?
11:49Answer me!
11:50Has he gone punching?
11:51But he went that way out there.
11:52Are you sure?
11:53I'll kill you.
11:54If that's what I'll kill you!
11:55Stop!
11:56What direction did it come from?
11:58Think!
11:59What's that, man?
12:03Is that Will?
12:13I think it's Joshua Bibby.
12:20Now will you go back and work?
12:41Please take a seat, ladies.
12:50We want to offer our condolences.
12:55Your mother was a good woman.
12:57She always tried to do the right thing.
12:59The friendly society was their idea.
13:02My father can set aside out of every shilling hand to pay for sickness and funerals.
13:06And Joshua Bibby paid into it for 11 years.
13:09Ten years, 41 weeks, four days.
13:12We're here on his widow's behalf.
13:14Because your husband's away again, passing more resolutions.
13:17She wants what she's owed, so she can give him a Christian burial.
13:20At the time of his demise, Joshua Bibby was not employed by us.
13:23He was on strike.
13:24Nor was he sick.
13:25He was engaged in a felony.
13:27It's his money.
13:28Craig and sons were just looking after it.
13:30And gaining interest.
13:36You're right.
13:38Wendell will see that Mrs Bibby gets what she needs.
13:45Personal favour.
13:47Although I'm surprised your husband doesn't object to the undertaker working.
13:50No, he'll be given a licence by the strike committee.
13:55You can't be serious.
13:56Same as the grain mills.
13:57If people need berry and people need bread, so...
14:00And the strike committee have sanctioned the apprentices to come in to do essential maintenance.
14:04Daniel wants to make sure the machinery isn't damaged while it's lying idle.
14:16Stopping work is one thing.
14:18But when they decide what work gets done, who does it and when, that's...
14:22That's revolution.
14:24What are we, Wendell?
14:26French?
14:33I don't want you in today.
14:35It's not convenient.
14:36What's Daniel Bates?
14:37Is there's maintenance work you need to do?
14:38I want you in tomorrow.
14:40Anybody who isn't here will be dismissed and evicted from the village.
14:43Is that clear?
14:47Now go spread the word.
14:56Can he kick us out of our homes?
14:58He owns nearly enough the whole village apart from this place.
15:01He'd need an army to evict everyone.
15:03Well, the dragoons and grenadier guards are only down the road.
15:10Maybe it's time to give up.
15:17We've come too far now.
15:19If you start something, you finish it.
15:22No matter how long it takes.
15:34If we surrender now,
15:36Joshua Bibi died for nothing.
15:39Do you think his widow and sons want us to give up?
15:43There isn't a family in all of England
15:45want the Charter more than they do.
15:48Because when we get it
15:49and Parliament is controlled by the working class,
15:52never again will an aristocrat lack it
15:54or a man in uniform get away with murdering a poor man
15:57for the crime of trying to feed his family.
16:01So, those of you who think we should stay out
16:03and keep fighting,
16:07raise your hand.
16:08Yes!
16:08Yes!
16:10What happened to the secret ballot?
16:12Oh, do you really want to give everyone a stone each?
16:16We're going in.
16:18Because my son died too.
16:20Fighting for an English man's right
16:22will be free.
16:40If he wants a war, he's got one.
16:47We'll start together on Monday
16:50and you'll come into work with us.
16:52John, no-one speaks to us as it is.
16:54We'll be gone soon
16:55and we'll still be here.
16:57We're the past.
16:58We're the future.
16:59I won't do it.
17:00You'll do as you're told while you're under my roof.
17:02Fine.
17:03I'll go then.
17:04No, no, you won't.
17:05I'll not lose another one.
17:07You go now.
17:08He'll be walking out of this family for good.
17:10We'll not feed you.
17:12I'll feed him.
17:13You won't.
17:14He'll do as I say.
17:17I'm the master of this house.
17:19Yes.
17:23Yes.
17:26Yes.
17:29Yes.
17:30Yes.
17:32Yes.
17:32Yes.
17:33Yes.
17:34Yes.
17:43We've been thrown out to the apprentice's house.
17:46What do you want?
17:48Yes.
18:24No sex.
18:39Billy.
18:41Billy.
18:43Billy.
18:44Billy, wake up.
18:46Billy.
18:47Billy.
18:49Billy.
18:56He used to cry all the time.
18:59He's saving energy.
19:01Be grateful.
19:05Do you think we should give in?
19:07It's too late.
19:09They won't take us back now.
19:11We have to win.
19:26Let's go, guys.
19:32It's okay.
19:34We have to go, guys.
19:47Oh, my God.
20:18They look like you've been press-ganged from Bradwell.
20:20Women and children, step aside.
20:21Hey, if there are kinds of many women, let them show themselves.
20:24Stand girls, don't let them pass.
20:28Arm in arm, we're savages.
20:30It's you with your clubs.
20:31A gang of thieves.
20:33Do you think we'll stand by and watch us steal our jobs?
20:35Let us pass, or we break through.
20:38No.
20:39Never!
20:40That's right.
21:10Take him off!
21:11Take him off!
21:18Shall I fetch Dr Holland?
21:20He's the manufacturing physician.
21:22They're not our workers anymore.
21:24Hey, how could you let them do that?
21:28He might be in, but he won't get those machines working.
21:37You know he's gone too far now.
21:40Don't care.
21:53Blackleg!
21:55Work for Glyse's.
21:58It's an ill wind, as they sigh.
22:05Are you all right?
22:08Are you got a slightly?
22:10Ah, a bit one. Probably die of poisoning.
22:12This snake has to bite you.
22:13You might be dead when John Alley gets home.
22:16I'm not scared of him.
22:38Go and go off.
22:55Get out.
22:58If he goes,
23:00we all go.
23:03I mean it.
23:04I will go
23:06if you force me to.
23:12It'll be over by the end of the week.
23:17I don't know how it was.
23:21It'll never be how it was.
23:24This can't be fixed like a wind.
23:28If the poor were in Parliament,
23:30they'd sell their votes to the highest bidder.
23:34MPs have to be rich, independent, educated men,
23:38else no one would respect them.
23:50I know he's in Manchester.
23:52May I come in?
23:53I have an offer to make.
24:16I have an offer to make.
24:23Same as everybody else.
24:25Your husband's a clever man.
24:26There's no need to go hungry.
24:28What did you want, William?
24:30When my brother offered him a half-sharing the loon patent,
24:33do you know how much money he tore up?
24:35Is there anything you care more about than money?
24:37If you were my family, I'd care about you more than he does.
24:39Yeah, well, history says otherwise.
24:41That man and his madness are destroying you.
24:45I hate to see it.
24:47You deserve better.
24:49I want to compensate you for the patent money he squandered.
24:53Daniel would never agree to that.
24:54That's why you must leave him.
24:56Save your children from this suffering.
24:59I'll arrange transport.
25:01Anywhere.
25:02Lancaster.
25:02With your sister, if you wish.
25:03I'll send you an annual allowance to pay for Angela's upbringing.
25:07All I ask is that you leave the man who spends more time
25:10worrying about every damn pauper in the country
25:12than he does about his own family.
25:19The first time Daniel and I walked out together,
25:24he told me men could fly.
25:29I laughed at him.
25:32It's true.
25:35A man has flown
25:37across the English Channel in a balloon.
25:41And Daniel said,
25:43imagine if someone had told Samuel Gregg
25:45when he was a boy that
25:47by the time he was an old man,
25:49people would fly.
25:51He'd thought them mad.
25:54And then he put his hand on my belly.
25:58And he said,
26:01if we can overcome
26:03gravity,
26:06do you really think
26:07we won't overcome poverty
26:08by the time your baby
26:09is Samuel Gregg's age?
26:21First time you and I walked out together,
26:23do you remember what we talked about?
26:27You.
26:30There's the doll.
26:32Don't come back.
26:34Ever.
26:35You're making a huge mistake.
26:36No.
26:37You were the huge mistake.
26:38Angela won't reach my father's age.
26:40Look at you.
26:41Look.
26:42Look.
26:43This is so unnecessary.
26:45He's skilled in you.
26:47You used to be beautiful.
26:53I've never felt more beautiful
26:56in my life.
27:08Come on, Billy.
27:10Eh?
27:10I know it's only water,
27:11but it's better than nothing.
27:13Eh?
27:14Look at this lot.
27:15Sat around all day
27:17making the place look ugly.
27:18Go away, patients.
27:20This is the master's niece.
27:21We're off to the pond
27:22to feed the ducks.
27:23Oh, it's too late.
27:25We ate them.
27:26She's joking.
27:27She's joking.
27:28They wouldn't dare.
27:29They haven't eaten in days.
27:31I only wish we could share
27:32some of our bread.
27:34Mind you,
27:35they say your mum is famous
27:36for her charity work.
27:37If the beggars ask nicely enough,
27:39we could toss them a few crumbs.
27:41We'd rather starve.
27:51Yeah.
27:54Please, patients.
27:56If you can spare some of my baby,
27:58it'd be really great for you.
27:59As soon as you ask nicely,
28:01and it's a bit stale.
28:03Look at yourself.
28:26You're welcome.
28:29Come.
28:33Should I just tuck it?
28:37Should I tuck it off her by force?
28:55That'll be my cart now.
28:56Yeah.
28:57Yeah.
28:57I can't help.
28:58I can't help her.
29:00I can't help her.
29:01I can't help her.
29:01I can't help her.
29:01Probably have to walk home.
29:02But I'll be back by midnight.
29:04As long as someone can show me a duel up.
29:09Daniel Bate?
29:10Get out of my house.
29:11Are you Daniel Bate?
29:13No, he isn't.
29:14Get out.
29:15I have an order for your arrest and charges of sedition in rioters' assembly.
29:18You're coming with us.
29:19I'm not taking him.
29:20Leave him alone.
29:20You have to let me go, love.
29:21I've got nothing wrong.
29:22Look at the kids.
29:23Daniel.
29:25No.
29:26No.
29:27We're not taking him.
29:28Let him go.
29:29No.
29:29Stay out of it.
29:30We need to stop him.
29:32I'm just taking him.
29:36He's been arrested for sedition.
29:37Can we hang for that?
29:38Susanna, I'll be back soon.
29:41Are you watching this?
29:44I have the same uniform.
29:45You're somewhere.
29:46This is what I killed in my phone.
29:47This is what he died for.
29:49Is it?
29:50No.
29:55Don't give them the excuse.
29:57They think if they arrest one man, this will end.
29:59There's a meeting today in Manchester.
30:01Elect someone to go in my place.
30:02Stay strong.
30:03Be resolute.
30:04Keep fighting.
30:05Our cause is just.
30:08Last.
30:10No one, no order.
30:14What do we do now?
30:16Elect someone to go to Manchester.
30:18Tell them what happened.
30:19You want to be our best spokesman?
30:23No, I can't do it.
30:25Yes, you can.
30:26Give him a minute.
30:27Give him one to me.

34:35no it shouldn't
34:37you had a choice
34:38shut up john
34:39if it's anyone's fault it's yours
34:41she's a mother
34:44she didn't know her own child was starving
34:46i knew
34:50where is he
34:50here
34:51here
35:18I don't know.
35:45I've been watching you.
35:48You're the brains behind the business.
35:50I just deal with the books.
35:51No, Master William was born to it.
35:53But you earned it.
35:54Worked your way up.
35:57I think you knew the size of that wage cut was too much to bear.
36:02What do you want?
36:05Esther's baby died tonight.
36:10Daniel Bates has been arrested.
36:12His wife's coming to see Master William tomorrow to talk.
36:16Can you persuade him to compromise?
36:18All I can do is advise.
36:20Well, advise him that people are angry.
36:23And if he keeps hitting us while we're down, he'll only make things worse.
36:26Do you understand that?
36:28I do.
36:29Can you make him understand it?
36:33I'll try.
36:35I'll try.
36:58She wants some time alone?
37:01Well, she shouldn't have said that.
37:04She knows what she's doing.
37:07What?
37:08What has she done?
37:10Will, in hard times, three quarters of her wage is better than nothing.
37:14If she'd had the common sense to accept...
37:16If she'd fasted up to you, I could have stopped this.
37:18No.
37:19No, you couldn't, Will.
37:21This is her fault.
37:23Like Job's death was your fault.
37:26I encouraged him to join the army.
37:28Because there was no work.
37:31No son of mine will ever be an idler.
37:34So I persuaded him to enlist.
37:37I wanted him to serve.
37:39To follow in your brother's footsteps.
37:43He was a good boy.
37:44He always tried to please his father.
37:49I know I blamed you.
37:52I was wrong.
37:54It wasn't your fault.
37:57It was.
37:58And I can accept that burden because I'm proud of him and the choices he made.
38:03Just like Abe can be proud of this boy.
38:06David, your father, died for his country.
38:11Job followed his example.
38:14Well, what does your son die for?
38:16So he's my son now.
38:17Why did he die when his mother knew he was starving?
38:20I'm more to blame than she is.
38:22No, you're not.
38:23Stop it.
38:23I should have put food on their table.
38:25You should have left me.
38:26See, don't stop the work.
38:28Can we all stop blaming each other?
38:30Someone's to blame.
38:32Why?
38:33Why?
38:33Why does there always have to be a scum?
38:35Oh, because there's...
38:38John's right about one thing.
38:41I am proud of your father, Will.
38:43He was a hero, same as Job.
38:46I wanted him to be a stew maker.
38:49I was teaching him.
38:50And when trade was slow and we were hungry, I taught him how to hunt wild rabbits on the common.
38:57And then things changed and rabbits belonged to someone and hunting them became poaching.
39:02And when he was only 14, he was caught for the second time, which in the eyes of the law
39:07made him an incorrigible rogue.
39:11So he had a choice.
39:12Seven years' transportation or take the King's shilling.
39:18Australia or the army.
39:20What kind of a choice was that, John?
39:23A poor man's choice.
39:27Same as Job's.
39:30One is for we were poor.
39:34And in any one person's fault, that Esther's baby has died.
39:39I'm sorry.
39:42But it's just not true.
39:44We're responsible for our own actions.
40:08All I've got left to lose is my life.
40:11And I'm ready for that.
40:13But if you cancel the wage cuts and take us back at the old rates, we'll forget about the charter.
40:20But when we say all, we mean it.
40:23Every striker, including Daniel.
40:27The law must take its course.
40:29I have no power to intervene.
40:31A ship to Bodany Bay awaits, I'm afraid.
40:33And a ship to Dominica awaits the man who assaulted Mr. Howlett.
40:36You'll have to get rid of Howlett.
40:37No-one will work with him.
40:38They'll have to.
40:40But as a sign of good faith, I'll allow Mr. Gardiner to stay.
40:44Was that wise, Master?
40:46He drew a gun on me last night.
40:47And how did he get a gun?
40:50He took mine.
40:52You pointed it at his face while he was pleading with you to get the doctor and save my son.
40:59All of us, or none of us.
41:06Mr. Winder will apologise to Mr. Gardiner.
41:10I'll instruct Howlett to make his peace with him.
41:13I can't free your husband any more than I can grant the charter.
41:17But to make up for it, I'll take you back.
41:23He's cancelled the wage cuts and taken us all back.
41:28It's a good deal.
41:29No-one could have done better.
41:33The way you can move on is more important right now.
41:38You'll have to wait for the vote.
41:43I was Angie's age at Peterloo.
41:47Up on my dad's shoulders when they charged.
41:52My earliest memory
41:54is a man on a horse
41:55slicing through a crowd with a sabre.
41:58First battle in the fight for democracy.
42:03I thought this
42:05would be the last.
42:11I know
42:13sometimes I put
42:14our family second to...
42:17What?
42:20The family of men?
42:23You don't understand, don't you?
42:25Our son
42:26is alive.
42:31And Esther's isn't.
42:36Do you understand that?
42:42Will you wait for me?
42:47I've never regretted the day you stopped that card.
42:54I never will.
42:55I'll be back before.
42:58Before we get the vote.
43:00I say in seven years, but...
43:02You're told Puddlemen we're back in three.
43:04Can you manage on your own till then?
43:08I won't be on my own.
43:11I'll be in the middle.
43:12With the girls.
43:15Time's up.
43:20I love you.
43:22I love you too.
43:25Aye, aye.
43:27All right.
43:27That's enough.
43:29Goodbye.
43:31Come on, come on.
43:32Time's up.
43:48I am the resurrection and the life.
43:51He that believeth in me,
43:53though he were dead,
43:56and whosoever liveth
43:57and believeth in me
43:59shall never die.
44:32Come on, everyone.
44:33Let's go, Zoe.
44:47Here they come, Master.
44:50And evil saint is free for mine
44:53And a ceremony of all from human kind
44:57Toil of brothers, toil
45:00Your own life!
45:02Toil of brothers, toil
45:04Will cast your corps a day!
45:06All right,acer
45:06And a jarsel's won
45:08Toil of brothers, toil
45:12Oh, my God.
46:08Oh, my God.
46:12Oh, my God.
46:24The gun.
46:28This is James Scottson.
46:32Daniel Bates' replacement.
46:36This gentleman is...
46:42Peter Gardner.
46:47Watch him.
47:15Where have you been?
47:16Ready?
47:18Without permission, you owe me an explanation, Bryce.
47:22Yeah, new orals a quarter of your wages, knobstick.
47:24Here we go.
47:26Here we go.
47:33Here we go.
