00:00I need to find my baptism certificate.
00:02It'll help me find my family.
00:04Hello, Mr.
00:05This isn't one of the slave plantations.
00:07This is England.
00:11But it's inhuman, Robert.
00:13And it's not the way we do things here.
00:15If Susanna goes, I go too.
00:17We go together as man and wife.
00:19Sign that.
00:20Sign it.
00:21And I'll allow you to stay in the village.
00:23It's Mr. and Mrs. Bate.
00:25Their purpose is to delay the passing of the 10-hour bill.
00:29A bill that merely seeks to ensure that no child works more than 10 hours a day.
00:35We don't abandon children injured in our service, Robert.
00:39It can work for me.
00:40Fine.
00:41But he'll have to prove himself adept at something more than plague-carrying.
00:44Liverpool's that way.
00:46You go that way.
00:47Cross that field.
00:49Did you get to see Catherine in the workhouse?
00:52I think Timpley killed your sister.
01:04I don't have to.
01:07Let's go.
01:45I'm going to tell him.
01:47He won't listen.
01:48He never do.
01:49She was my sister.
01:50We need proof.
01:52I want to see her.
01:54She'll be in a grave by now.
01:57If Timpley finds out we know what he's done, then we'll be in danger.
02:01You think he won't do her again to cover his tracks?
02:03Thanks.
02:06So how do we get proof?
02:09By that hand.
02:11And as I've got to be here for an extra two years now, I've got plenty of that.
02:24I've got plenty of that.
02:57Runs very smoothly.
03:00We're making some progress.
03:09Is that...
03:12Did that just stop automatically?
03:17That's more than some progress.
03:20It's not finished yet.
03:24I'll apply for the patent.
03:26As soon as I get back from London.
03:29Well done.
03:41You had to find out eventually.
03:55I know that you've signed the document.
04:01He has no reason to send me away anymore.
04:05No, we don't have to get married.
04:10Here.
04:12Now.
04:13Speaking freely without coercion.
04:18I love you.
04:21And I want to be with you.
04:50I'm looking for a girl.
04:52She came here from Liverpool Workhouse.
04:54Yeah, you'll have to make an appointment at the mill office.
04:57I've come a long way.
04:58We don't deal with Liverpool.
05:00Well, you did.
05:01According to this, she left it in my parish church.
05:04Her name's Esther Price.
05:07I'm her sister.
05:11She ran away.
05:15She ran away.
05:17She ran away.
05:18She's here.
05:19She's here.
05:19She ran away.
05:22Tommy?
05:23Oh, er, Esther's sister.
05:25All the way from Liverpool.
05:29I think we'd better go inside.
05:35Take that throw into the kitchen, Tommy.
05:38Oh.
05:40I'm sorry.
05:42My son runs the mill and he's away at the moment.
05:44If you'd like to leave your request in writing, he will deal with it in due course.
05:48It's cost me the best part of a week's wage to get here.
05:50It won't be possible for you to see her today.
05:53Why not?
05:53She's serving her punishment.
05:55I told you, she ran away.
05:57Not that she'd returned.
06:01When can I see her?
06:02My son makes those kinds of decisions, and as I say...
06:04Is this a mill or a prison?
06:06For apprentices, it's a home that their parents failed to provide for them.
06:12What time does she finish?
06:14Sometime after nine this evening.
06:16She'll be praying for the ten-hour bill then, like the rest of us.
06:19You'll need to go now.
06:20Don't tell me what I need to do.
06:22There are writing materials over here.
06:25If you wish to leave your sister a note, I will make sure that she gets it.
06:36I thought it wise not to let Esther speak to outsiders.
06:39Thank you, Mr. Timberley.
06:44Tommy?
06:48What did you tell her?
06:50No, just to go to the office, miss.
06:53Are you sure that was all?
06:55Yes, miss.
06:56Master Robert's in the middle of some very important business,
06:58and the timing of this visit is very inconvenient.
07:04So don't breathe a word of it to Esther.
07:06I'll tell her when it's more appropriate.
07:11Off you go.
07:20I'll leave me name and address.
07:22I'll expect her to write, and I'll know her and...
07:25Of course.
07:31Father Collins will read it for me.
07:40I'll take it.
07:43Come on.
07:45Come on.
08:06Mrs. Gregg
08:08When Susanna gets married
08:09there'll be a spare bed
08:11and we were wondering if Lucy's sister Catherine could take her
08:14and only before we bother Master Robert or anyone else
08:18we were hoping you might be kind enough to write
08:20and make an inquiry about her
08:22ask how she is
08:27Mr. Timperley
08:29Mr. Timperley
08:33do you remember Lucy's sister?
08:36yes
08:36can you find out how she's faring at the workhouse?
08:39the girls have asked me to make some inquiries
08:41will you see if she's fit for work now?
08:45let's see what I can do
08:59come and sit beside me
09:13as you know
09:16I was ordered to take your sister back to the workhouse
09:21on the way
09:22I was
09:23poking over my shoulder
09:26trying to keep her spirits up
09:29when she leapt off the cart
09:32and ran into some woods
09:35I searched
09:37called out her name
09:40she must have preferred to take her chances
09:42than go back to the workhouse
09:46I've now discovered
09:47that she's been found dead
09:49in a field
09:50about ten miles from here
09:52I am
09:53so sorry

10:03that she may soon lose her dear husband
10:10we mustn't add to Mrs. Craig's sorrows
10:12by burdening her with us
10:16do you understand?
10:39do you understand?
11:09Did you sleep?
11:13They say it gets easier with time.

21:49What do you have to say for yourself?
21:58When you heard how Mary Plince was kept from her sisters,
22:02you cried.
22:07You are a most ungrateful child.
22:12I've seen how I made a mistake with you.
22:18Take him away.
22:19That man?
22:19The man in the meeting?

22:36Ow!
22:37Get off!
22:37Mia!
22:38No!
22:39Ah!
22:40Get off!
22:41This belongs to Mr. Roberts.
22:44No, it belongs to me.
22:45He gave it to me.
22:47Ah!
22:47Get off me!
22:49Mom!
22:49No!
23:12Sorry for your loss.
23:16Juniors to be Monday
23:18Stop the mill for the afternoon
23:20Which will have my father
23:21Spinning in his casket
23:30Wedding present
23:32Your share of the patent for the loan
23:3550-50
23:40You're a proud man
23:42With good reason
23:45I want to build on what my father created
23:47Together we can make that happen
23:49Take it
23:51You deserve this
23:53And you have a family now
23:55For Susanna
24:07Thank you
24:12I do wish you both the very best
24:37I do wish you both the very best
24:42It'll be about the funeral
24:44Look, don't cheer if he announces a day off
24:47Look sad and keep your mouth shut
24:52Have you seen Tommy?
24:54He'll be at the big house
24:56No, but all the other domestics are here
24:58Why isn't he here?
24:59You will have all heard by now of the passing of my father
25:03And I'm sure he's in all your prayers
25:07But before we've even laid
25:08Master Samuel to rest
25:10It appears John Doherty is coming to disturb the peace
25:12Of our grieving community
25:15He's already provoked walkouts in Stockport
25:18And Lees
25:19So I want to make one thing clear
25:24Any man attending this meeting tomorrow
25:27Is in breach of the document
25:29And will be dismissed
25:32One person profits from John Doherty's wild schemes
25:36His strikes and his newspapers
25:39And that person is John Doherty himself
25:41How does he profit?
25:46Ask Daniel Bate
25:51He knows him better than anyone
25:55What was Doherty's wage as secretary of the spinners' union?
26:01Tell them
26:03One pound thirteen shillings
26:05And what does he pay himself now to produce his propaganda rag?
26:12Three pounds a week
26:13Three pound a week
26:17The poor man's advocate not so poor
26:20His only concern
26:21Is with promoting discontent to suit his own ends
26:26Am I right?
26:37I hate the man
26:42But I love what he stands for
26:46There is a better way
26:49And you
26:51You can't stop a man listening to another
26:54Not on a Sunday
26:55We're free men on a Sunday
26:59I'll be going to his meeting
27:04You all should
27:21I'll be there
27:24And any man that I see there
27:26Will be asked to leave the village
27:30And find work
27:31And lodgings elsewhere
27:32You've been warned
27:36Wait
27:37What have you done with Tommy?
27:39Where is he?
28:06What was in the envelope?
28:09He tried to buy me off
28:13I'll find work in Manchester
28:14I know you're blacklisted
28:16Well further afield then
28:17Do you expect me to come with you?
28:19Leave George and Miriam behind
28:20What do you think they can't manage?
28:22They're not babies
28:23You're not the mother
28:25It's this one you should be thinking about
28:27Oh like you were just then
28:28Yes
28:28Because our children deserve better than this
28:37How much was in the envelope
28:39Daniel?
28:42Does it matter?
28:47Daniel
28:51How much?
28:57Hello
28:58I'm sorry
29:03You told me I should take it for you
29:08If you want to call off the wedding
29:10I'll not blame you
29:12But I have to go to that meeting
29:19He
29:20He bought my silence
29:23Once
29:28I was too afraid to stand up to him
29:32The baby
29:35He belongs to his brother
29:37Will he?
29:38No
29:38Yes
29:39No it doesn't
29:43The baby's ours
29:47The future could be too
29:59Daniel
30:00Will thou have this woman
30:02To thy wedded wife
30:04To live together
30:06After God's ordinance
30:08In the holy estate of matrimony
30:11However
30:12Mrs. Alice
30:14Will thou have this man
30:16To thy wedded husband
30:20Amen
30:34Did he tell you
30:36What I offered him
30:38Was it a dowry
30:40Or guilt money
30:41It was a sincere offer
30:44Your skills
30:45My capital
30:46We can do great things
30:49It's science
30:50Will make the world a better place
30:51Not dreamers
30:52Like John Doherty

31:37I'll tell Doherty what he did to me
31:44You know indentures
31:45Are the only documents
31:45We've signed
31:47They say nothing about
31:48Locking us up on Sundays
31:49No
31:50She's right
31:51It's not fair
31:51It's not

32:44Lucy's sister
32:45She's dead
32:46And the apprentices blame us
32:48Why did they blame us?
32:50When I was taking her to Liverpool
32:51She ran
32:52Escaped
32:53I couldn't stop her
32:55Turns out
32:55She's the pauper
32:56They found dead in that field
32:58At Siddington
33:00Well why didn't you tell us?
33:02I took pity on her
33:04I thought she'd survive
33:07Siddington is the opposite direction to Liverpool
33:11Well she must have travelled some distance before she fell
33:15And you must have kept the apprentice fee for yourself
33:19I'll pay it back
33:21That child was in our care
33:23No miss
33:25It's a lynch mob
33:32I know
33:33Esther
33:34Esther
33:34Why is she looking in the kitchen?
33:35You're not in the kitchen
33:36No
33:36She's looking in the kitchen
33:36Don't be in there
33:37No
33:37We should look in the kitchen
33:38No
33:39No
33:44They've got her on the back
33:45Come on, Cliff
33:46Let's go.
34:17He's in here, come with me!
34:22He's here! In the warehouse!
34:28Get out, you coward!
34:30He's locked in! He's locked in the inside!
34:33Where are you, you bastard?
34:37Children, move away from the door!
34:39Come on back! Come on!
34:41Move away! Move away! We've got him now!
34:44Move away!
34:45I didn't kill her! Move away!
34:47I let her go!
34:48I have sent for the magistrate and his men.
34:50We must wait for the law to take its course.
34:52Wait for the law?
34:53Yes.
34:54Because without the law, we're just barbarians.
34:57And with it, where are you?
34:59My conscience is clear, Esther.
35:01And you can trust me. I promise you.
35:05Where's Tommy?
35:09He trusted you.
35:12He thought you were on our side.
35:15But when you took him into your home, you weren't nursing him.
35:18You were hiding him.
35:20I nursed him, and we saved his life.
35:23Like you hid my sister.
35:29John Dottie was right about you. You're a hypocrite.
35:34I released you from that room, Esther.
35:38And if I hadn't taught you to read and write, your sister never would have found you.
35:50Somebody stay here with Timpley. Make sure he doesn't get away.
35:54The rest of us, let's get to the horseship.
36:03This meeting is one of many being held to form a new organisation.
36:08The National Regeneration Society.
36:10And what we propose is this.
36:13That on the same date that the new Factory Act comes into force, March the 1st next year,
36:18that every manufactory operative in the country shall work eight hours and eight only.
36:25Then they will walk out.
36:27They shan't ask permission from Parliament, or beg leave from their masters,
36:33that after eight hours of toil, they shall simply go home and see their families.
36:41If we are united,
36:43the old outdated system whereby some work beyond their strength for inadequate wages,
36:50that system will end if you are united.
36:59Esther!
37:01What is this?
37:03Your apprentice is by the look of it.
37:04Do not take one more step into this room, not once in the ages,
37:08to squeeze years of free labour out of you.
37:10No, it is not true.
37:11Esther!
37:11Take them back to your apprentice.
37:13Esther!
37:17I'm your sister.
37:21Esther!
37:22The cruelest...
37:23Myriam!
37:23Lucy!
37:24Do not!
37:24Myriam!
37:24Myriam!军!
37:26Myriam!
37:27Myriam!
37:27Myriam!
37:28Myriam!
37:28Myriam!
37:28Myriam!
37:29Myriam!
37:34Myriam!
37:35Myriam!
37:44Myriam!
37:46I'm your parent.
37:53Have you been looking for this?
38:02I knew you immediately.
38:05You look like Mum.
38:07Do I?
38:11She died when you were born.
38:17It hit Dad hard.
38:20He couldn't cope, took to drink when he could afford it.
38:24It broke his heart when you had to go to the workhouse.
38:35I didn't think I'd ever see this.
38:42I doubted myself.
38:48Here it is.
38:51Here you are.
38:56March the 8th, 1816.
38:59I am 17.
39:01We always marked it.
39:03Every year.
39:07March the 8th.
39:11That's funny.
39:13It's the new law.
39:15It's starting March.
39:17For a whole week,
39:18they can only make me work 12 hours a day.
39:20Then I tell you an 18.
39:22And you can do what you want.
39:24That's just to get me mouth shut.
39:30Sorry, but Doherty's got another meeting to get to.
39:33Tell him to wait.
39:35I'm talking to me sister.
39:44Listen to me.
39:45If you allow that man to name you, he could ruin us.
39:49He'll embarrass you, perhaps.
39:50Make a mockery of your evidence to the factory commission.
39:53Business depends upon its reputation.
39:55If you ruin that,
39:56it won't just be me that you hurt.
39:59You'll never work in the cotton trade again.
40:01She can live with me and my family.
40:03Can you afford another mouth to feed?
40:06Can you find her a job?
40:08Get her off the streets and out of the workhouse?
40:10Can you do that?
40:16Esther, stay here.
40:18I'll wipe out all your fines.
40:20This is a beautiful place to live.
40:23You can have a family here.
40:25Have a good life.
40:34What about him?
40:36And Susanna?
40:37Can they raise a family here?
40:45If you keep your mouth shut, yes.
40:48Even though I've signed the document.
40:51And I intend to join Doherty's new society.
40:58That's what it takes to reach an agreement.
41:03Esther!
41:05I can look after you better than John Doherty ever could.
41:26I want to tell my story.
41:32I want people to know who I am.
41:37If you go to the yard tomorrow and burn those documents,
41:43I won't mention certain things today.
41:56Esther!
41:57Are you ready?
42:04Right.
42:17My name is Esther Price.
42:20I was born in Liverpool on the 8th of March, 1816.
42:25I am 17.
42:28My mother was called Maria, and she was a seamstress.
42:33My father was called Tommy, and he was a sailmaker.
42:39I've got an old sister called Martha.
42:44And I needed to know this.
42:49I needed to know.
43:07It must be here.
43:08He must be.
43:10It must be.
43:17I don't know.
43:42My father believed there should be trust and mutual respect between Milhand and Master.
43:52That what's good for one is good for the other.
43:57And so as a tribute to his memory on this, the day of his funeral,
44:03I've decided to burn the documents that I asked you to sign.
44:07I'm sorry.
44:09I'm sorry.
44:23I'm sorry.
44:26I'm sorry.
44:29I'm sorry.
44:29I'm sorry.
44:34I'm sorry.
44:44I'm sorry.
44:45I'm sorry.
44:47I'm sorry.
44:47I'm sorry.
44:55I'm sorry.
45:13I'm sorry.
45:26I'm sorry.
45:31I'm sorry.
45:33I'm sorry.
45:33It's 옵션 from the earth.
45:37And we shall go down to our graves with peace and satisfaction, knowing that we have
45:44bequeathed a brighter and a happier inheritance to our children than it was
45:49our lot to be born to
46:16the
