00:00Say it. I don't want to be separated from my sister.
00:03I'm sorry. You were judged unfit for work.
00:07But I'm going to let you escape.
00:09How can you support the abolition of slavery, Bill?
00:12When your family work English children until they drop.
00:17Tommy's here.
00:17Move!
00:18Show him now!
00:19Mr. Gregg wants me to design and build a loom
00:22that turns a skilled man's job into something even a pregnant woman can do.
00:25And there's to be a demonstration.
00:26The biggest the country has ever seen.
00:28I'm not interested.
00:29I just want to earn a living.
00:30Well, I'm 17 and I'll prove it.
00:32I'm going back to Liverpool.
00:33I'll never make it.
00:34You will if I come with you.
00:36Help me find my certificate and I'll help you find your sister.
00:45Hey!
00:59Come on, you're idle lot.
01:00Get to work!
01:02Move!
01:04Esther!
01:05Bruce Lee!
01:10Where have they gone?
01:15Where have they gone?
01:22I know where they'll be heading.
01:30I know where they'll be heading.
01:42We must be halfway by now.
01:44Only halfway.
01:46Only halfway.
01:47I'll have to sit down again soon.
01:50Shh!
01:55Let's try and get a lift.
02:02Esther.
02:05Oh!
02:08No!
02:11You can't outrun a horse!
02:17No!
02:25Whoa, whoa!
02:27Dad!
02:28Whoa!
02:30Whoa!
02:35Whoa!
03:01Get on.
03:02Do you know what you're doing?
03:03No.
03:04Oi! Mr T!
03:07Ha-ha!
03:08Ha-ha-ha!
03:09Ha-ha-ha!
03:10You're smiling now!
03:12Ha-ha-ha-ha!
03:16Hey!
03:17Can you cut it over the holes?
03:19Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
03:22Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
03:23Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
03:42Sorry, did I disturb you?
03:44So when were you today?
03:46Lester's run off with the new girl
03:48because someone told her
03:50she could find her baptism certificate.
03:52Might find, I think I said.
03:56As if it mattered.
04:01What's this?
04:06Where did you get it?
04:08One of the carters.
04:11There'll be big trouble if Master Robert sees this.
04:16We best give it back then.
04:34They could handle us for this.
04:35It's theft.
04:37We can't go back now.
04:40I don't care.
04:42I can sell it.
04:43Live on the money till we get jobs.
04:45So you don't need your baptism certificate any more?
04:48No, I do.
04:49I need to see her.
04:51It doesn't matter how old you are.
04:53It'll help me find my family.
04:56Let's find your sister first.
04:59How long since you were here?
05:01Don't know.
05:03You don't recognise me.
05:09Look, I'll be your older sister.
05:11Say, I've come for Catherine
05:12because I've got the means to support her now.
05:14Timpley will expect me to come here, you know.
05:19We're a long way ahead of him.
05:25Esther.
05:47I think it's about that big meeting that you went to.
05:51Robert Gregg's mother, the hypocrite,
05:54Mrs. Hannah Gregg.
05:55What's a hypocrite?
05:57When you don't practice what you preach.
06:01Campaigns for the abolition of slavery
06:03but has she stood shamelessly on stage
06:07beside the esteemable Mrs. Prince?
06:10She's not a hypocrite.
06:12And she was ashamed.
06:14Seemingly unaware that her own family,
06:17own and run...
06:21What's going on?
06:25Found this in the privy, master.
06:28Well?
06:29Well?
06:44The privy's where it belongs.
06:45Get back to work.
06:47Yes, my son.
06:56What did I tell you?
06:59He's been trying to make the slave driver accusation
07:01stick for months
07:01and you've just handed it to him on a plate.
07:05All your meetings and petitions
07:07may stem from the most honourable of motives, mother.
07:10But until this battle with Doherty is won,
07:13they have to stop.
07:16I'll ask Mrs. Moore to take over as chairman.
07:30I know it's close to your heart, Anna.
07:34But it won't be for long.
07:37The abolition bill is scheduled for the same week
07:40as the Factory Act.
07:44The business is in good hands with Robert, isn't it?
08:051,700 inmates.
08:07You can't expect me to recall them all by name.
08:15What did she do?
08:17Let's walk back.
08:30Where's Esther?
08:32In there?
08:34Where is she?
08:37Tell me the truth or I'll snap your neck.
08:40She...
08:42She's gone to find a baptism certificate.
08:45We split up.
08:50Can you prove you're a sister?
08:52Well, why would I offer support to a stranger?
09:02She's been apprenticed.
09:05Quarry Bank Mill.
09:07Are you thinking of my other sister, Lucy?
09:09No, no.
09:10Both of them.
09:10I remember now.
09:12Catherine and Lucy Garner.
09:13Catherine was sent back here?
09:14Not according to my records.
09:32Lucy?
09:34Lucy?
09:37Lucy?
09:39Lucy?

10:14published in manchester by your old sparring partner john doherty i have no truck with him
10:20anymore you know that he prints thousands every week they pass from hand to hand they've never
10:27found their way here before perhaps he's redoubling his efforts on account of the 10 hour bill i will
10:32not allow his cancerous philosophy to take root here i'm asking all my men to sign this
10:43it's a pledge of loyalty by signing it you promise not to join a trade union or any other such
10:49combination you're an enlightened employer why do you need this because as you just said
10:55doherty is redoubling his efforts i need your name i need it too
11:05you feel that strongly i'd rather go back to jail
11:19well you can't very well form a union on your own as long as all my other men sign it
11:23and i suppose i
11:24can allow you to be the exception for now
11:28thank you
11:39when i became an apprentice it was against the law for working people to combine
11:44they acted together for whatever reason it was criminal conspiracy
11:48now unions are legal but you're dismissed if you join one
11:53but there are no unions here so why do you care
11:59daniel if he didn't make his sign why does it matter
12:02oh he needs me now he'll make the other sign and what happens when the loom's adapting it can stop
12:08automatically

16:03That's it
16:05Now
16:07You'll never thread shuttles
16:08Piece of yarn
16:09But at least you'll be able to do a basic grab
16:12Let's try it
16:13Yeah
16:13Grab that pan

16:24That's so clever
16:26Yeah

16:35Daniel's brought me a new hand
16:37He'll need to practice
16:38And why have you brought this into my kitchen?
16:44I wanted your permission
16:46To ask Susanna to walk out next Sunday
16:49Is she's willing?
16:50Oh, she's far too willing as well, you know
16:53A ploughed feels easier to dig
16:55Is that your thinking?
16:56No
16:57If you prefer a chaperone
16:59It's a bit too late for that, isn't it?
17:02So do we have your permission or not?
17:06No
17:07A walk this week
17:09Is Sodom and Gomorrah next?
17:10Let her go, Mrs Timperley
17:12She believed in the Prentice house when the child's born
17:16It's good
17:16She's making a life for herself
17:20Now, schoolroom boys
17:27Seems we have a blessing
17:43That job
17:45What does it pay?
17:46You used to be a lot pickier
17:48About the work you do
17:50What does it pay?
17:53You'll be half the price you wear
18:23Sit down
18:34Did you try the workhouse?
18:37Yeah, they'd send me back
18:38I haven't found what I'm looking for yet
18:41What's that?
18:42Just get on with it
18:50Have you done this before?
18:53Not today
19:13I could fix you a little one in the cotton towns
19:17Might find work more till I can
19:22Stay in here
19:24That good, was it?
19:28Think I'm in love?
19:30Ha, ha, ha
19:59Where did you learn the right child?
20:00No, waiting a cotton mill in there
20:04Do you keep baptism certificates?
20:08I've had several prices in my parish
20:09Over the years
20:10Really?
20:11I'd have to dig around
20:13Why don't you come back
20:15In a couple of days?
20:31No, Dad
20:44I'm so sorry for you all TOGETHER
20:48Where are we going?
20:50You'll see.
21:29What is this?
21:30What's it for?
21:33It's an hour bill.
21:34And they'll have to pass it after this.
21:36How can they not?
21:37We may not have the vote, but we have a voice.
21:41This will go down in history.
21:43Where are we?
21:44Whibsey.
21:46Welcome back.
21:52Is it true Robert Gregg's introduced in the document?
21:56We'll get in the upper hand.
21:58And he knows it.
22:00Keep in touch, Dan.
22:08Who's he?
22:11We used to work together.
22:14Come on.
22:24Parliament calls for us to concede.
22:27We cry.
22:31Has anyone ever seen such a show of unity and strength?
22:36Do you think they'll hear us in Parliament?
22:40Yes.
22:42They'd better.
22:44Why do the masters fear effective regulation?
22:49Why should they be free to do as they wish while the rest of us suffer?
22:55Yes.
22:56Many of these greedy speculators are launching a counter-attack and forcing their men to sign what they call the
23:05document.
23:08But we will not sign away our God-given rights that we fought so long to regain.
23:16The right to assemble and combine like this.
23:20The right to speak our mind and put our case and fight for a better future for our children.
23:46Ten hours.
23:48Can you imagine that?
23:49That's more than half a day to yourself.
23:52Do you really think that he can win?
23:54It's not he, it's us.
23:56He can't win.
23:57But together, maybe we can.
24:03Guy, he was amazing, wasn't he?
24:06He's just one man.
24:08Put your faith in one man,
24:09and you'll be disappointed.
24:11This is bigger than John Docketer.
24:15Yeah.
24:16I can see that.
24:20And I saw the real you today.
24:23There was a light in your eyes.
24:26But there was a company.
24:39What now?
24:43I don't know.
24:49I know what you want to do.
24:51What?
24:58I swear the other men not to sign Robert Greggs' document.
25:03If I'm the only one who doesn't...
25:04Well, then, you'll be one man.
25:08He,
25:10not we.
25:11Here we go,
25:25You're back, always.
25:31George.
25:32Your sister's back.
25:34I think she's carrying twins.
25:57Come on, you idle brat! Get your word! Move!
26:20Your time's up. And if you ever, ever come up here, up here again.
26:43You...
26:47You...
27:04Ah, good. You're here.
27:07Did you find anything?
27:09I did.
27:11Follow me.
27:15Is it my certificate?
27:17Come to the office and I'll show you.
27:24Now, why don't you sit down and I'll show you what I found?
27:29Gotcha.
27:31Didn't expect that now, did you?
27:33The Gregg family are well known in this city.
27:35And useful employment in an honest profession is the best possible deterrent to idleness and vice.
27:41I've done you a big favor.
27:42Thank you, Reverend.
29:13What's the matter?
29:14The limb's stopped. Automatically. It works. The mechanism works. We've done it. We've done it. We've done it. I'm sorry.
29:43Come on, you. Down. Get your feet down there.
29:52Stand up. Come on.
29:59Neil. Neil, don't interfere. Things have changed now. Once Master Robert finds out you've completed the loop, I'll just need
30:07to retain you.
30:08Stand up. Come on. What is that? Where do you think you are? You can run faster than I can.
30:14Do you want it to be a guardian?
30:15Hey. Have you no shame? This isn't one of the slave plantations. This is England.
30:23Daddy, stop it! You can't talk like that. Not now.
30:37I'll take those off you.
30:41What?
30:51Did you hear that, Master? Did you hear him? I heard. I'll deal with him. I've backed out with Esther
30:57Price.
30:58Mr. Henshaw, take her to the apprentice house and wait for me there, please.
31:02I hope you won't rely on the beak for punishment this time, sir.
31:07No. No, I won't.
31:08Come through, please, Mr. Timpling. Sit down.
31:14Is anything wrong?
31:15John. The irons were an unfortunate necessity. You know what she's like.
31:21It's your wife, John.
31:25She's passed away. I'm very sorry.
31:29Shh.
31:31How?
31:34She was climbing stairs. Had a seizure.
32:00Come in.
32:01Come in.
32:23Take them.
32:25Take them.
32:29Now cut off her hair.
32:31No!
32:32No!
32:33Get off me!
32:34You need to learn. Actions have consequences.
32:38Cut off her hair.
32:39No! No!
32:40I'll do it!
32:41This is justice, not revenge.
32:44Cut it!
32:47Cut her hair or I'll cut yours.
33:25Okay.
33:30All of it.
33:43Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
34:25Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
34:43Oh, oh, oh.
34:45She was left to run a house for 60 ungrateful urchins without her soulmates to share the burden.
34:54I missed her final moments because of you.
35:06Ten days is not enough.
35:11And this will grow.
35:18Are you gonna move her?
35:20I'm waiting for the undertaker.
35:24You lay a hand on her sainted body and I will break your neck.
35:57We've got weeks left yet.
35:58Come on.
35:58We've a long way to go.
36:00Aren't we going to Wilms, though?
36:01Alternative arrangements have been made.
36:02Nothing to worry about.
36:03I need to pack my things.
36:05It's done.
36:06Can I not only say goodbye to my brother and my sister?
36:08They're working.
36:10I'm not leaving without seeing him.
36:16Come on.
36:18Don't.
36:19Oh,ú!
36:19Stop it.
36:20Wait a minute.
36:23Oh, come on.
36:26I'm going!
36:28I'm going!
36:30I'm going!
36:32Come along. We have to leave now.
36:34Come along. Come along.
36:36Everything's all right.
36:37Come on, get back to work. Come on.
36:39I love you. Come along.
36:49Susanna?
36:50I'm going. I'm being taken.
36:52Have you gone into labour? No.
36:53Get out of the way. Where are you taking her?
36:55She's starting her confinement.
36:56No, he's lying. It's too early.
37:01Why is this happening now? Mr. Gregg wants her
37:03to complete her indentures in Lancaster.
37:06He can't do that.
37:07He made me a promise. Well, his family own several mills.
37:10He can send you to any one of them. Well, she's not going.
37:12That's Mr. Gregg's decision. There's nothing
37:13you can do.
37:20Marry me, Susanna.
37:22If Mr. Gregg allows.
37:26Susanna, will you please
37:28do me the honour of becoming my wife?
37:37You've made me a promise.
37:40Yes, that was before you went to Whibsey Moor.
37:42We had Mrs. Gregg's permission.
37:44To join a more of a hundred thousand strong.
37:47To come back here and spread their propaganda.
37:50If Susanna goes, I go too.
37:55We go together as man and wife.
38:00You're laying claim to another man's child.
38:03No child should belong to any man.
38:06My views are a little more paternal.
38:09I love her.
38:10And I'll bring up her child as my own.
38:13We don't want to go.
38:17I want to stay here.
38:19And Daniel wants to finish your loom.
38:22I will not cause you any further trouble.
38:44Sign that.
38:46Sign it.
38:47And I'll allow you to stay in the village.
38:49As Mr. and Mrs. Bate.
38:53Happily ever after.
38:57You plumb this.
39:13No.
39:15No.
39:16You don't have to do this.
39:18Don't do this for me.
39:34Don't do this for me.
39:38Help!
39:43Help!
39:45It's a ghost!
39:47Help!
39:54Help!
39:56Help!
39:57Help!
39:58Please!
40:06It's all right, Esther.
40:08It's all right.
40:09It's all right.
40:10I've got you now.
40:11I wish I had never gone.
40:14Now seeing what it's like outside.
40:16I know how lucky I am to have you as my benefactor.
40:20Oh, please.
40:21Please.
40:22Please.
40:22Don't let me go back in that room.
40:24I'll speak to Robert.
40:25You want her to get away with it?
40:27I'm sorry for you, Mr. Timperley.
40:29Truly sorry.
40:30But this poor girl has suffered enough.
40:38It's all right.
40:38Now, when was the last time you had anything to eat?
40:41I don't remember.
40:42Come on, let's get you something.
41:19She's on our side. She'll make them listen to her. Don't worry. Are you glad to be back?
41:30Glad I got to see the fat cow gone. We'll get bigger portions now.
41:35What was it really like out there?
41:39One thing better than a burr of scouts. A taste of freedom.
41:44More. But it's inhuman, Robert. And it's not the way we do things here.
41:57I may have overreacted. But I haven't broken any laws.
42:07Where have you been? Apologies, Mum. It's been quite the day.
42:22Have you had any runaways lately?
42:26Oh, yes, we did. But they're all accounted for now.
42:29I've just picked up a girl in the field. Sitting somewhere.
42:32Not much left of her but bones. Half a comb.
42:36Just occurred. She might have been one of yours.
42:45Leave it with me, Mrs. Gregg.
42:47I think you'll be good.
43:07I'm sorry. It's not your fault.
43:08I'm sorry. It's not your fault.
43:14It's not your fault.
43:20I'm sorry. It's not your fault.
43:21Esther, don't worry.
43:26No.
43:28Go away with the haircut.
43:31Me, did you hear Susannah's toilet on you, babe?
43:36Oh, shush.
43:37She doesn't want to hear about that now.
43:51I want this done with dignity and respect.
43:58I'll watch words, Mr. Templer.
44:00Nice firm grip now.
44:03One, two, three.
44:04One, two, three.
44:10Down, down, put it down.
44:15You've got this side.
44:18Listen, they're moving it.
44:33Press the thigh.
44:34Give it a good chuck.
44:35Look, if my wife needs a tuck, I'll do it.
44:47Did you get to see Catherine in the way it goes?
44:51No.
44:54She wasn't there.
44:56Would you know where she is?
44:58Go, go, go.
45:00Who's got away?
45:00I have.
45:02How about a breather?
45:04How about a bullet?
45:05Put it down.
45:09Where is she?
45:12Did they say?
45:20Tell me.
45:21Do you know what's happened to her?
45:24Do you know what's happened to her?
45:26Don't drag her.
45:28I'm not dragging her.
45:29I can't.
45:32That combing her.
45:36Did your sister have the other half?
45:40Yeah.
45:42Why?
45:43What's that?
45:44Gentle, gentle.
45:45Oh.
45:46Why?
45:51Let's use gravity to our advantage here, Mrs. Simplet.
45:54All right.
45:56Dignified dragging.
45:57A big, fat-ass dragon, I'd say.
46:08I think it killed her.
46:13I think it simply killed your sister.
46:21Help!
46:26Help!
46:34Bye.
46:35Bye.
46:44Bye!
