00:00I'll be half way to Bledlow by now. I want to be with his sweetheart.
00:07What are you doing here?
00:15This rally is our chance to prove that the Charter is the will of the people.
00:19Once we have a vote, we have a voice.
00:27I've made a mistake. A huge mistake.
00:31I shouldn't have gone with you and it can't happen again.
01:06You all right here?
01:07I'm blooming.
01:08Permission to go to the privy, Mr. H. I'll be a pissing while.
01:12That bladder must be the size of a wool nose.
01:15Baby's pressing down on me waterworks. That's how I know it takes after you.
01:18It's awkward and kicks like a clod off her.
01:21Calling the dog a duck won't make it quack.
01:25Cover for her. Quick.
01:28Not paying you to pedal.
01:48How did you vote?
01:5346 to 235.
01:57We lost.
01:59A million people put their mark on that petition.
02:02No.
02:04One million three hundred thousand.
02:06More folk than live in London.
02:09They had to take the door off the House of Commons to get all that paper inside.
02:13And Parliament spat on our faces.
02:17They said it would end on barbarism.
02:23One million three hundred thousand working men.
02:29Against 235 top acts.
02:34And the top acts took the day.
02:43Yeah.
02:44Let's have a drink.
02:46No, I know.
02:51Oh make me IRWY back.
02:53You still keen?
02:56More chances me milking a pigeon then taking Will Whittaker back.
03:06Hey, after it's born, it'll need a wet nurse.
03:10I can pay shilling a week.
03:13Yeah, that'd be useful.
03:15For somebody, yeah.
03:18What will you do it?
03:23Moral bloody farce, if you ask me!
03:26Now ask him nicely, I've got a knelt.
03:29It's time we got these out.
03:32Reason is our best ally.
03:35How many Peterloos?
03:37How many sabres or backsides and kids in proper graves
03:40before we build barricades?
03:42Our brothers and sisters in Newport took to the streets,
03:45and without hesitation, Parliament ordered the army in.
03:5022 of our brethren dead, 50 injured.
03:5422 more reasons to fight!
03:56Every one of them!
03:58I understand your anger.
04:00I feel it.
04:01I'd like to go to Westminster and smash their smug faces in.
04:06But the ruling classes will always have more weapons than us,
04:10and they'll always be willing to use them.
04:12And they'd rather see us dead than give us the franchise.
04:15So Doherty's right.
04:18Abandoning moral force only gives them excuses to kill us.
04:22Who killing us?
04:24Hard as it may be, we have to restrain ourselves.
04:28I say we collect arms and march to London in our thousands!
04:34No, every one of us!
04:36And I'll tell you something, bro,
04:38you're either with us or you're against us!
04:40I actually thought we'd love you!
04:42No, no, no!
04:43No!
04:44No!
04:47No!
04:57No, no, no!
05:00Are you meant to be Esther's friend?
05:06I don't need her shelling
05:08Don't take it
05:09Do it for free
05:11What and then I can be asked to skivvy as well as yours
05:14No you're not the only one that's had a bad day
05:16He's stuck at home
05:16We're no company
05:18Our petition's laughed out of parliament
05:20And you're missing a gab
05:23Help her out
05:24No I can't
05:25I'm going back to the mill
05:29No you're not
05:31Why not
05:33Because
05:35Because
05:37What you want me here cooking meals you don't eat
05:40No
05:40Then what
05:41Oh you've had a bad day
05:42We'll talk about this tomorrow
05:44Oh so you'll be here tomorrow night will you
05:46I'm asking you to keep it shut
05:47Are you asking me
05:48Yes
05:48I'm going back to the weaving shed
05:50And the churchyard coffee pits up there
05:52It's better now
05:52For breathing air not cotton
05:54What so you're forcing me to stop at home for the good of me health
05:56The millings need the mother
05:57There are plenty of mothers in that mill
05:59I don't see you arguing they stop at home
06:01There's girls in that mill who were killed for what you've got
06:03And I know why you don't want me to go back
06:04Daniel Bate thinks he can turn water into wine and he likes to
06:08What you so
06:08Oh
06:09I know I'm trying to do
06:27If aaron
06:27Howlä
06:27About
06:27A 51
06:28That
06:29I need some
06:30That
06:31That
06:31You'reStill
06:33need some I
06:35need some I'll
06:39How long did your husband?
06:41Rebecca?
06:56He hit me.
06:58Why?
06:59Because he can.
07:01You know you went to the Howard store?
07:03Must have knocked you daft.
07:08What are you doing?
07:24Susanna?
07:27Bugger off!
07:29Susanna, I can't take it back. I wish I could but I can't.
07:31Tell it to a meeting!
07:33Oi!
07:35I'm up in five hours.
07:37I have a good mind to teach you a lesson.
07:39See how you do against a man.
07:41I'm going home now, Susanna.
07:43Here, I've finished it.
08:05We're in the middle of the worst economic downturn in living memory. We need to make cots.
08:10Per week, you shell out three shillings of sixpence on food, ninepence on clothing, tenpence and three-farthings on lodging
08:17for each apprentice.
08:18Don't forget healthcare and incidentals. Multiply that by 37 and that's substantial outgoings for insufficient returns.
08:25You mean get rid? Send them to the workhouse?
08:28Only the boys. Females tend to be more productive and less truculent with one or two exceptions.
08:32We have a duty of care to those children.
08:34Others have already acted. We're one of the last meals to one apprentice's house.
08:42Make the arrangements.
08:49Mr William will see you now.
08:53How are you, Mary?
08:54I'm very well, sir.
08:57Looking forward to finishing my apprenticeship.
08:59Family well to you, I take it?
09:02Yes, sir.
09:03Good.
09:04Good.
09:05When your indenture finishes, you'll not be kept on.
09:07We want to thank you for your time at Quarry Bank and wish you all the successes with your future.
09:11I'm being dismissed.
09:12Absolutely not.
09:14You're being let go.
09:16And if it's any consolation, we'll be sorry to lose you, Maryam.
09:35Here he is.
09:38Tom Clip.
09:40England's most celebrated prize fighter.
09:43Who's he been pummeling this time?
09:46The little woman.
09:48Gave his wife a belt.
09:50And now he's fixing one.
09:53Does it make you feel big hitting a woman?
09:56Scurrying away like a field mass, though, when the pregnant troller walloped him.
10:02Stop her.
10:03Over here now.
10:08I've never even heard him shout at her.
10:11What does she do?
10:12She married him.
10:14Yeah, well, I might have to move in with him soon.
10:17More likely to behave themselves then.
10:22Kick into the knop of the mule.
10:26Well, he'd better get used to it.
10:28Be hearing that all it's like.
10:38Enter.
10:47That's new.
10:50Do you like it?
10:53Hello, Angela.
10:56I want to go back to the weaving shed.
10:59Your husband earns more than any man bar the manager.
11:03Does he think this is a good idea?
11:04It's me asking.
11:08And I've never asked you for anything before.
11:12I see.
11:15Well, I want to help you. I do.
11:18But I can't give your sister her cards and then give you a position.
11:21Miriam's being dismissed.
11:22I told her earlier.
11:26That's another adult mouth to feed.
11:29Two.
11:30Your brother George May also need bed and board.
11:33We're having to let the apprentice boys go.
11:36It's been difficult.
11:38Coming back and taking charge.
11:40What was the downturn now?
11:43Difficult.
11:48Come on, that was your boy.
11:50Excuse me.
11:55Okay.
12:20I was wondering...
12:21No.
12:24I just feel there might be another solution.
12:26Feelings are not empirical data.
12:30It just seems wrong.
12:31Tell them, George.
12:34He is known by all the poor people about who never fail to take their hats off as he passes
12:39with great respect.
12:40The children idolise Mr Pickwick and so indeed does the whole neighbourhood.
12:45Every year he repairs to a large family merrymaking at Mr Wardle's.
12:49On this, as on all other occasions, he is invariably attended by the faithful Sam,
12:54between whom and his master there exists a steady and reciprocal attachment which nothing but death will terminate.
13:02Hope you enjoyed that, boys.
13:04Sir, is this bedtime storage stuff going to be regular?
13:09Probably not.
13:10You see, I'm afraid none of you will be living here by the end of the week,
13:15as the boys' dormitory will be closing and most of you will be going to the workhouse.
13:19Night-night, boys.
13:20Sleep tight.
13:23Did Muff Ranger sack us?
13:41I should just be reckoned for you.
13:45Daniel, the apprentice boy is getting the boot.
13:47The union's got to tell William Gregg he can't.
13:48Yeah, get him tall.
13:49Why is that in the union?
13:52That I wouldn't like to stand on.
13:55But I told the lads you used to cook for us.
13:58Wish I could, but there's not what I can do.
14:01Get wise, George.
14:03You've shown his two colours.
14:04Got bubbies or bum fluff and the union's not interested.
14:23You can't wait.
14:23It's not a good one.
14:24We need to go.
14:24What?
14:25Oh, my God.
15:02Your children missed you?
15:07I try to do the right thing.
15:10But sometimes...
15:13I'll try harder.
15:16I'll never raise my hand to you again.
15:18I promise.
15:21I'll cut it off first.
15:22Oh, so could she be then?
15:24I'm already useless.
15:26Don't you dare.
15:28When things are going well, anyone can stand tall.
15:31Time it counts is when you don't have the energy to put one foot in front of the other, but
15:35you still keep going.
15:37People rely on you.
15:40Same as the kids rely on me.
15:44I'll forgive you.
15:47My memories don't fade like bruises.
15:50I swear to you, from now on, I'll control my temper.
15:54And if you want to go back to the mill, then you can.
16:00How will Miriam in charge of being moving in with us?
16:03We'll marry him for him.
16:09I'm tired.
16:13I'm going home.
16:21You're a good man, Bate.
16:23I think you'd rise to my challenge.
16:25Tell me what you've done exactly.
16:27Applied the extra cylinder.
16:30Used to power 20 looms.
16:31Now I can drive 120.
16:32And the pressure ratio?
16:35Increased from 5 PSI to 60.
16:38Could use the extra capacity to employ more hands.
16:42Not enough orders for 20 looms as it is.
16:44But we're already on shorter working days.
16:46But it is a good investment.
16:48The work you and I have done together, Bate,
16:50change the fortunes of this mill when the tide turns.
16:54May I speak to you on behalf of the apprentice police?
16:58We both know they're not in your union.
17:00In the name of human decency, then.
17:06Do you have to send them to the workhouse?
17:08Everybody will be in the workhouse if we go bust.
17:10Who are you and you?
17:11Watch your mouth in front of the master.
17:12Bate's mad philosophy pays no heed to rank.
17:15All we're after is a fair say for all.
17:18And anybody who says otherwise gets a fist in the face.
17:23I'm sorry, your domestic situation is none of my business.
17:26But this mill is my business.
17:28The apprentice house is un-economic.
17:30It's served its purpose.
17:32These days, the village produces all the children we need by natural means.
17:35And with trade as it is, I have a surplus of hands.
17:38As I said to Susanna.
17:41When she asked me to take her back.
17:55Right.
17:57Chin's up, lads.
17:58Let's go.
17:59Takes us a while on Shank's pony.
18:04It's been like a father for me, sir.
18:08Goodbye, George.
18:11Miriam.
18:12Erm.
18:14Remind me it's your sister.
18:16Right?
18:27It's all right.
18:45It's all right.
18:51That's for the wage, Erna.
19:03I'm not that hungry.
19:14We'll manage.
19:22Come in.
19:29If you still want me, I'd be glad to feed your baby at a shilling a week.
19:34Oh, I want you there when it comes out, too.
19:36I'm not wasting money on a midwife.
19:50Right.
19:52Keep your noses and arses clean.
19:55If things work up, then...
20:25I spotted your work in the garden.
20:27You know, first.
20:28And it wasn't until that night, though.
20:30With your Westgate refinery, that I really saw you.
20:34I thought you were the handsomest black man I'd ever seen.
20:37I was the only black man you'd ever seen.
20:40And you told me that you were here to end the Negro apprentice system,
20:43and then you were going home.
20:45Well, it ended, and you stayed.
20:47Why?
20:48I have a reason.
20:50Should I be worried?
20:56No.
20:58You couldn't look at another woman the way you look at me.
21:01It's not another woman.
21:03So what is it?
21:04Nothing.
21:05What, you just don't want us to be together?
21:07I do.
21:08So why can't we?
21:10Vernon and Greg.
21:12Is that Vernon you told me about once?
21:15What?
21:16He's a Greg?
21:17He was the plantation owner's nephew back in my grandfather's day.
21:21So what has he got to do with us?
21:22Nothing.
21:23So if you want to meet him that much, why don't you just ask Hannah or William?
21:26I can't.
21:27And you can't either.
21:29Promise me you won't mention it to them.
21:32This is just an excuse.
21:35You're right.
21:36I'm sorry.
21:37Forget I said it.
21:39I'm just...
21:40I'm not ready to...
21:42It's fine.
21:43It's fine.
22:06It's fine.
22:24Yes?
22:25Ah!
22:26Who's Dad and made you a queen?
22:27I'm bettering myself.
22:30Will you want dish clout?
22:31To see Mrs Greg.
22:35I'm sorry, Miriam.
22:36There isn't a position available.
22:38Well, what about other Greg households?
22:40I could work for Robert.
22:42Or even your daughter's best, your Agnes.
22:44They might need somebody.
22:45Or even Vernon.
22:47Vernon?
22:50Where did you get the name Vernon from?
22:53Don't you have a nephew call Vernon?
22:55Who told you that?
23:15It's just wind.
23:17Don't be having the bastard on the mill floor.
23:19He's not coming yet, and he's not a bad...
23:29This is it.
23:31Get yourself home.
23:34We'll dock your wages half a day.
23:36Can I go with that?
23:37Mop it up.
23:39Women know how to have babies.
23:41Mop it up.
23:45Yes.
23:47Yes.
23:50Yes.
23:51Yes.
23:52Back to Mark.
23:57I heard the mule was as big as a water buffalo, and it stood on the plantation path, refusing to
24:04move, kicking anyone who came near it, and then your grandfather came along, killed it.
24:09One punch.
24:10That's how he got his nickname.
24:13It's a myth, Peter.
24:15A story.
24:18According to our attorney, Dr. Bremner, who was on the plantation at the time, the mule died from lockjaw.
24:24His body went into spasm, which explains the kicking, and they called him Grandpa Punch because of his fondness for
24:32the beverage.
24:35Why are you saying this?
24:37Because for your own good, you need to know that your grandpa was a drunkard, and it was drink that
24:42killed him.
24:43Why are you telling me this now?
24:45Peter, there is no such person as Vernon Gregg.
24:50When my brother-in-law owned the plantation, there was an overseer called Vernon, but he wasn't a Gregg, and
24:57despite what you may have been led to believe, he did not flog your grandfather to death.
25:02You weren't there.
25:03It's all documented, Peter.
25:05There was a trial, a judge, a coroner's report, and all found Mr. Vernon entirely innocent.
25:12White law, white judge, black slave.
25:15Peter, when people have nothing to hold on to, they cling to myth.
25:21Your grandfather slowly drinking himself to death, that's just sad.
25:25But a black man dying a martyr to a white man's cruelty, that's inspiring.
25:33And I'm sorry, Peter, but it's just not true.
25:37I... I don't believe you.
25:40I'll contact Dr. Bremner. He can get you the documentation.
25:44He was at the trial.
25:46He examined your grandfather's body, and he told me there wasn't a mark on it.
25:52He's retired now, and he's living in Scotland, but I'd be happy to invite him down to Quarry Bank to
25:56speak to you.
25:57Put your mind at rest.
25:59Put your mind at rest.
26:15Susanna!
26:17Susanna!
26:21Susanna!
26:42You were a long time coming.
26:45A dawdler.
26:47Worth the wait, though.
26:49Bonniest thing I'd ever seen.
26:52Where's Blam-am-out?
26:54Eh?
26:55Miriam!
26:56Come back when you're sober.
26:57Where is she?
26:58Keep drinking, and she'll end up thinking she can do better.
27:00Where is she?
27:02Auntie Esther's house.
27:12Are you supposed to eat this much?
27:15Yes.
27:16Don't push.
27:17Don't push.
27:19The baby's...
27:19It's Bum first.
27:21Miriam, will you run and get the midwife?
27:24Well, I'm so six miles away.
27:26Don't worry, Esther.
27:28We're gonna get it out.
27:29I've changed my mind.
27:30You leave it in.
27:30You leave it in.
27:31I've changed my mind.
27:33I'm saying I've had the midwife.
27:36Oh!
27:38Get out!
27:39Miriam!
27:40Get him out!
27:41Come on to me.
27:42Come on to me.
27:43Come on to me.
27:43I'm gonna die, because I just didn't have a bloody throne!
27:46No!
27:47No, it's not the time!
27:48Go home!
27:49No!
27:50No!
27:53No!
27:54No!
27:56I wish I'd gone bloody deaf too.
28:00No!
28:04It's the wages of sin.
28:06No!
28:08No!
28:11No!
28:14No!
28:19Open five hours.
28:28Look, even if it is yours, you can't afford it.
28:47We'll go in.
28:50No, you can't. I don't know what I'm doing.
28:54No-one's showing me anything.
28:55No-one showed you how to get pregnant, either, but you managed it.
29:18I don't know what I'm doing.
29:24It's your boy.
29:27Source of shame is what it is.
29:30It's shit to shop.
29:31We need manure for plant.
29:40What you're doing?
29:43I'm not going to help.
29:58You'll be all right, Moony.
30:20Stop.
30:23You've barely given birth, and you're hobbling back to work.
30:28It shouldn't be like this.
31:04Sit down, John.
31:06All right, sir.
31:09It's about your son.
31:12Timothy or Jack, sir?
31:14They got themselves into bother.
31:17The one in the army.
31:19Joan.
31:21He was posted to Afghanistan.
31:24Did you know that?
31:26No, sir.
31:29His mother will bake for Britain if he's coming home.
31:31He's dead.
31:37He's been killed, John.
31:45Thank you for telling me, sir.
31:48Good man.
31:48You keep a stiff upper lip.
31:51Yes, sir.
31:55What's up, dear?
31:57I'll do it.
32:02I'll do it.
32:04I'll do it.
32:05I'll do it.
32:08I'll do it.
32:16I'll do it.
32:27Go to the privy. Rest in there. I'll catch her for you.
32:31Do you want to go and see the baby? Can I?
32:34Can I?
32:39Mr. H, I need the lungs rough.
32:41Look at you old cock-a-hoo-bug with your face, grandchild.
32:46Darling, you all right?
32:48Go on.
32:49Are you sure you're all right?
32:51Yes.
32:53Darling.
33:21You should have taken Susanna up on her offer to have them tonight.
33:24You need to sleep.
33:26Oh. Sleep together, won't we?
33:30Let's get back for tea.
33:56I'd know.
33:59I'd have felt it.
34:01He's coming back. He promised me.
34:05Whose idea was it that he enlist?
34:09Answer me, John.
34:12There was no other word.
34:15I followed you.
34:18Let you have your way in everything.
34:24I'm ashamed, John.
34:27I'm ashamed I didn't protect him.
34:29Stupid Brown.
34:33I don't know whether I'll ever rub my head up again.
34:39I don't care whether he did the right thing.
34:43I just want him alive. I want him here.
34:48I lost my brother to the army. I can't lose my boy, too.
34:55You've cursed me, my son.
34:58This is your fault.
34:59Oh...
35:03Oh...
35:05Oh...
35:07Oh...
35:08Oh...
35:11Oh...
35:12Oh...
35:14Oh...
35:16Please.
35:21Let me take you.
35:22Give you a break.
35:28See you.
35:53I'm your dad.
35:57I never knew my dad.
36:01I'll always be here for you.
36:04I promise.
36:11Come on.
36:26What's wrong with it?
37:09How about Job?
37:12No chance.
37:16Crispin?
37:18Kidding, Mary.
37:19It's a patron saint of She-Makers.
37:24Billy.
37:25Billy?
37:27Billy Whitaker.
37:29Billy Price.
37:31I know if you marry me.
37:33What?
37:34Where's the price?
37:37I'll make an honest woman of you.
37:40What do you say?
37:43I'm late.
37:44I'm late.
37:52Why are you so upset?
37:54Does it matter so much?
37:55They tell many stories about my grandpa and in most of them he's drunk.
38:00But the one my mama told over and over was how he died.
38:06How he was too sick to go to work one day and was flogged to death by Vern and Greg.
38:10Now Hannah tells me there's no such person and it was the drink that killed him.
38:15Could that be true?
38:17The only thing I know for sure is when I reach for the room I behave like a paper skull.
38:23Me and liquor are parting ways.
38:26I'm signing the pledge.
38:27I'll never drink again, I promise.
38:30Let's get a shift on.
38:32Don't know if I still have a job.
38:34Some idiot spent all day yesterday shoveling fire.
38:36You don't know you weren't in.
38:43Go on.
38:45Don't want to lose your job.
38:47Better than losing my sweetheart.
38:51Will you forgive me?
38:54Now think about it.
38:57But go on.
39:07I'd never have believed I'd be so grateful to have children that sleep.
39:11I've had no nan much having a baby, I'd hate me.
39:14No, I still can't cough without consequences.
39:17No wonder Lucy's planning on ending up an old maid.
39:19I don't.
39:21He's got your eye on anyone.
39:23Hey, lovely George, he's a catch.
39:25So's a cold.
39:26Hey, he's too nice.
39:27And gormless.
39:28And why have a calico smock when I can have a silk gown?
39:32William Greg's not the marian kind.
39:34He takes home the best wages at Quarry Bank.
39:38Daniel?
39:38James Wendell.
39:40He's clever, a bit serious, but he's old.
39:42Wouldn't have to wait long for the money.
39:55I've been thinking about how I can help you.
39:58Your sister here.
40:03Good news, Miriam.
40:05One of the girls at Lancaster Mill has died.
40:08I'm sorry?
40:10Need to be there tomorrow, if you're to take her place.
40:13You're offering me a position?
40:15At my brother John's mill.
40:17You need to leave straight away.
40:25She's key.
40:37I know it's not done, and I'm supposed to wait.
40:41But I've been offered a position in Lancaster.
40:43Peter, but I don't have to go.
40:45I mean, I wouldn't if there's nothing to stop me.
40:51Peter, if you love me, marry me.
40:58I can't.
41:00Of course you can.
41:04All the nasty talk we've had to cope with.
41:07You never wanted to push me into doing anything.
41:10If that's not love, what is?
41:12I can't marry you.
41:14Why can't we be together?
41:15You don't know why.
41:17Well, you're not sure.
41:19What if Hannah is right about Vernon?
41:21If she can prove it, I'll come find you.
41:25And if she can?
41:28I'll find Vernon and Greg.
41:31And then what?
41:34I'll kill him.
41:39Tack.
41:47Go to Lancaster.
41:51I don't love you.
41:53Yes, you do.
41:55And I never will.
41:56I needed you to teach me how to read, so I charmed you.
42:00A couple of kisses and jokes is all it took.
42:03Then a pretty white girl on my arm to show them what I think of their Dakara.
42:10I am Yoruba.
42:12And you are...
42:18Not for me.
42:46We can keep you.
42:48There's no reason to go.
42:53If he loves me, he'll stop me.
42:58Hey?
43:06Hey.
43:15Hey.
43:23Hey.
43:25Hey.
43:26Hey.
43:33He won't let her go.
43:45Come on, man. Stop the cat.
44:18It doesn't conquer all.
44:21What?
44:22Hey, I'm sorry about Job.
44:25You should have told me.
44:30I had a baby.
44:32We should get wed.
44:34We can have the banser on Sunday.
44:36I don't know, Will.
44:39Things don't work out just because you want them to.
44:41Look at Miriam, Susanna and Daniel, Scrapp.
44:45Just help me with the money and be Billy's dad.
44:48Hey, we don't need a ring for that.
44:52You weren't even a virgin.
44:56Neither were you.
44:58That's different.
45:00You lured me into that room.
45:02I don't think so.
45:05Paul would blush more.
45:07And who knows, only the way before me.
45:11John's right.
45:14You should hang your head in shame and wear yellow like the unmarried mothers in the workhouse.
45:19As a warning to other men.
45:21I don't think so.
45:49Who doesn't know that?
45:50All right.
45:50Oh, no, thanks.
45:50How's it last night with onion skins and salt?
45:53Suka?
45:53Yeah.
45:54Ain't nobody but me and you knows that.
45:56It's a payday.
46:03If you think you're dragging me up for a month, you've got a maggot in your head.
46:05It won't last that long.
46:06If every worker in Britain comes out, we'll win in a week.
46:09I don't want to fire you.
46:21I don't want to fire you.
46:34I don't want to fire you.
46:53I don't want to fire you.
46:56I don't want to fire you.
46:57It may not fire you.
46:57You
