00:04And of course I shall be in Rome next month, so I look forward to discussing your thoughts on my
00:11proposals in person.
00:13Meanwhile, my assistant will be booking my next week's appointments, as I shall only be on my business trip for
00:20another three days at most.
00:24The doctors say a week, at least.
00:28Nobody must know, Jerry. Any weakness just plays into their hands. I shall only be on my business trip for
00:35another three days, at most.
00:39And also...
00:42Have there been any calls, Jerry?
00:45Hundreds. I've had Psytex on the phone day and night, and also...
00:48No, not work calls. Calls from the family.
00:52I've not let anyone know you're ill, Mrs. Hart, at your instruction.
00:57Of course.
00:59We both know there's someone who would want to be informed.
01:02If Paula knew you were ill, she'd be frantic.
01:20Are you feeling...
01:22Better.
01:23I miss her, of course.
01:26But better than before.
01:28Better than...
01:30How fucking dare she?
01:32Yeah, but actually, how dare she?
01:34Telling me who to love, then just swanning off on some mystery trip.
01:38She makes me so fucking angry.
01:41People that we love do that.
01:48I love you.
01:52Jim, Danny.
01:55I tried to stop.
01:59But I don't think it works like that.
02:06Go home, Jerry, and tell that boyfriend of yours, when his show opens, I shall be wanting front row seats.
02:13Mrs. Hart, might this be a sign?
02:17To join an exercise class?
02:19To slow down.
02:21Take a holiday, or two.
02:23Have a rest.
02:26Have we met?
02:28I'm Emma Hart.
02:49Have a rest.
02:50Maybe you like what?
02:50Teresa's holding.
02:51Do you know me what to do?
02:55That's it.
03:03I think you think the boat is doing that.
03:04Jim, long by Intel, sir.
03:04No pictures in the beatenies.com.
03:04what it does. Drive me
03:13to Lafront Global fr
03:31Oh, Merry Christmas.
03:39Hello.
03:41Nice to see you again.
03:43Mr Kalinsky, do we have any Turkish Delight left?
03:46Oh, I don't imagine so.
03:48There's been such a run on it from all the big houses on the hill.
03:51You wouldn't believe how popular it's been.
03:53The fancy housekeepers have taken two boxes.
03:56But might we find one for Mrs Easton, do you suppose?
04:06Success!
04:07Well then, I'd better take both.
04:11Oh, and you'd be wise to add a tin of pork and one more jar of applesauce, I think.
04:17You're welcome.
04:19Good evening.
04:22Emma, it's Christmas Eve.
04:25Imagine there are stockings that need hanging, trees that need decking.
04:28Oh, tell Edwina I've put one extra sugar mouse in your basket just for her, so she is not to
04:35share.
04:36I can close up.
04:37You get going.
04:41Oh, I have an ulterior motive.
04:43I'm planning to steal cheese.
04:45Take whatever you can carry.
04:47And I mean it.
04:48I know your family's probably finished celebrating now that Hanukkah's over,
04:51but we'd love you and Flora to join us tomorrow.
04:54Joe's complaining he can't see kitchen surfaces for food.
04:57Our Frank can't come.
04:58Too busy working for his exams.
05:00And Mac's been goodness knows where for months.
05:03Mac always has a mystery girl or a party in every town.
05:06Both mainly.
05:08So no, no one's coming.
05:10Which means there'll be plenty of room for you both if...
05:12Emma, I don't...
05:14I've been happy to help out here over the last couple of years, but...
05:19I can't just pretend to be a regular friend of your family.
05:24I can't.
05:26Merry Christmas, David.
05:56Merry Christmas, David.
06:06I think they're here.
06:08I just, um, I didn't...
06:10I'm sorry.
06:12I'm sorry.
06:13I'll leave...
06:13No, don't.
06:14I love you.
06:15Please.
06:17Stay.
06:24I don't come in here often.
06:27But I quite understand how occasionally it could be helpful to...
06:34She's everywhere.
06:40There's wretched potions of hers.
06:46Always mysterious.
06:49It's difficult this week, particularly.
06:53She loved Christmas.
06:54Yes.
07:01Oh, no.
07:02I'm sorry.
07:03Sit down.
07:04It's all right.
07:06Sit.
07:14There's so many different versions of her on every wall.
07:18She loved it.
07:22I can't bear one mirror most days.
07:27Yet you're more beautiful every minute.
07:52She'd, um...
07:54I think they'll be wandering where...
07:57Bishik.
08:29Welcome.
08:30You made it.
08:31It's been an age since you visited.
08:33Aunt Olivia.
08:34Oh, I love your earrings, Olivia.
08:36Happy Christmas.
08:38You're here.
08:40Good.
08:41It's just me and the happy couples.
08:46Standards thriving, I hear.
08:47I've had nothing but good reports.
08:49Hard week, was it?
08:51At the forefront of world news.
08:53Festive joy at armly Christmas fate.
08:57It's what sells.
08:58Well, I'm glad someone finally worked out what does.
09:02A lot of newspapers have been a liability for us for years,
09:04but you've made it pay.
09:06I thought the plan was when you took over the paper
09:08that it would be nothing but hard-hitting journalism.
09:11I'm saving my stirring editorials about German defence spending
09:13for January.
09:19Dinner time.
09:20And drinks, perhaps?
09:21Yes, please.
09:22Drinks, plural.
09:23Oh, and then some kind of parlour game.
09:26Father wants to play a jolly game, Aunt Olivia.
09:29What do you think?
09:29Happy families?
09:31Weak murder?
09:32Gerald.
09:35Leave him.
09:38I'm going out.
09:46It's Christmas Eve.
09:47Does the casino never close?
09:49Listen.
09:51Have you got any cash?
09:52None for you to lose.
09:55I thought the mill was back on an even keel.
10:00Since...
10:01Mother, uh...
10:04Hasn't it felt like being...
10:06Underwater?
10:11Yes.
10:14Are you getting yourself into trouble?
10:17Christ.
10:18The interest these loan people charge open.
10:20They're villains.
10:22Hamilton Equitable, they call themselves.
10:25Now they're threatening me with demands for repayment.
10:29And...
10:29Father mustn't know.
10:30But, uh...
10:32But I've all but promised them my firstborn.
10:37By Boxing Day.
10:40But tonight I have a sure thing.
10:42I can make it all back.
10:43And more.
10:44Okay.
10:45Please.
10:46Hm?
10:47That paper.
10:49Such a financial triumph.
10:51Hm?
10:53Please.
10:53Help me please.
11:36I'm Perry, I'm Perry.
11:57Look at this pretty one, Daddy.
11:59Wow, that is lovely.
12:01Right, where can we put this one?
12:03There or higher?
12:05Higher, higher.
12:06Higher, higher, you say?
12:07Well, look at this.
12:08Goodness.
12:09Oh, here you are.
12:10At last.
12:12You must be exhausted.
12:13Now, where's my favourite girl?
12:15No, down, down, no.
12:19Let's get another one.
12:20Oh, you've already hung the stockings.
12:24Well, Edwina wanted to do them before her baby brother went to bed.
12:27Of course.
12:29And she's been working so hard.
12:33Just like her mum.
12:36Well, the tree looks beautiful.
12:39You have an eye for it, love.
12:41But there's a gap here, look.
12:44We just move this bobble.
12:45No, I want it there, no!
12:47Oh!
12:48We had found just the right spot for it, haven't we, sweetheart?
12:52Leather girl.
12:53It's perfect just where you put it.
12:55What about this one, Daddy?
12:57Right, where shall we put that?
12:59Up there?
13:01OK, let's try.
13:04OK.
13:12Come on.
13:39Safely tucked up?
13:40On her back, mouth open.
13:43Kit's got his blanket.
13:45Mm-hmm.
13:46Can we have a pack today?
13:47Sold all of the fresh stuff.
13:49Just a load of beef and potato pies left in the stockroom I need to shift.
13:57Joe, have you thought any more about the shops?
14:00Hmm?
14:01Hardly allowed to these days, am I?
14:04You're welcome to be as involved as you like in the shops.
14:06Am I?
14:07And what about your other businesses, the ones that I'm not allowed to know about?
14:11What other businesses?
14:14Anyway, you've got your garden.
14:16And your books.
14:19Big reader.
14:20That's right, I'm sure that's what the neighbours think of me.
14:26What I meant was, if you thought about me buying the shops, having all three in my name, have the
14:34money put away, and I want to pay.
14:39But, for a Christmas present, if you're short of one, I like my name on all of the deeds.
14:47I'm sorry to break it to you, but for almost two years, we've had the same name.
14:54You know what I mean.
14:55I know that it's time for bed.
14:58I'll kiss the children for you, shall I?
14:59I always kiss the children. I kiss them all the time.
15:02You do, yes.
15:05Outside of trading hours.
15:55You do, yes.
15:55How was your sure thing?
15:57Sure things like marriages.
15:58Only fools expect to be a glove here.
15:59they'll work out. If I need more time, I have to throw myself at the mercy of these Hamilton
16:04equitable people. Make them see sense. Man to man. I'll be late for lunch. Don't tell father.
16:23Oh, it's so good.
16:41Could have had the maids come in to at least do dinner. They have families of their own to be
16:45with. And you don't?
16:49Run up to Christmas. Obviously, the shop comes first.
16:53But I must say I did hope that today- They have a million things to do. But you sit,
16:58please.
17:02What time did you get up? I was hoping we might get to, er,
17:07lying. I'm going to fall short in that department.
17:09Daddy! No, I just meant...
17:13She's wanting the Yule Log.
17:15No, love, we don't have chocolate for breakfast. And the Yule Log's for later, so...
17:19It's Christmas. No, Jo, she mustn't.
17:23Not the whole thing. Oh, where's the... Don't give it to her!
17:28Now, look! The waste!
17:36It looks like you've got this under control.
17:39Anyone want to play a game?
17:46Love, you're just over there.
17:57Just trying to fill the gaps a bit.
18:01When we were children, Adele and I used to decorate place settings with people's names.
18:07You know, which cost nothing, of course.
18:09I didn't know if Edwin and Gerald would think it a bit silly.
18:12Too much, probably.
18:14You're doing a wonderful job.
18:20I just wanted to make it, well, if not perfect, then at least bearable.
18:29Where would we have been without you these last few years?
18:34And before that, I realise, for years, decades, you're always there.
18:46Now, Olivia.
18:51Olivia.
18:56Is that a...
18:57Adele's ring, yes.
18:58She'd be so glad for you to have it.
19:03Darling.
19:05Will you be my wife?
19:12Oh!
19:14Oh!
19:18Oh!
19:19Oh!
19:20Oh!
19:23Oh!
19:24Oh!
19:24Oh, yes.
19:30Now, where are the boys?
19:36Oh!
19:38Oh!
19:41Oh!
19:43Oh!
19:44Oh!
19:46Oh!
19:47Oh!
19:48Oh!
19:50Oh!
20:07Tea potty.
20:08Look, Daddy, look.
20:09Oh, wow.
20:11Good night, Jolly.
20:11Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
20:24Oh, not today, surely.
20:26What's to do there if it's shut?
20:28I'm fetching another Yule log.
20:30Also I've had an idea about those beef and potato pies.
20:33They need shifting.
20:33Emma, it's Christmas day.
20:34Be back soon, love.
20:36You won't know I'm gone.
21:02You look lovely.
21:06I suppose we should go downstairs.
21:09Yes.
21:10Don't want you to look like we're hiding.
21:15But first...
21:36It's beautiful.
21:41Thank goodness.
21:44It was a risk, but I know with my mother, remembering's good.
21:54And last year, our first Christmas, we hardly knew each other.
21:58So I can't even remember what I got you.
22:01Something unimaginative I expect, like chocolates.
22:16I love them.
22:20Mmm.
22:22Oh, never mind the Balkans.
22:25Asquith.
22:26Asquith is the real threat.
22:27You're telling me that if the French went to war, he wouldn't follow them without a second thought.
22:31Like a shot, but it won't come to that.
22:33Well, better ask his wife.
22:35Asquith tells everything to his wife.
22:38And Lloyd George tells everything to other people's wives.
22:45Speaking of wives...
22:53Show them.
23:04Oh.
23:07Congratulations.
23:13Edwin, I know that this must be...
23:15I'm making an honest woman out of her, Edwin.
23:18And she is making me...
23:19The happiest man in the world.
23:28Congratulations.
23:31Aunt Olivia.
23:49You really must release yourself of it, Olivia.
23:53This shame of yours, this guilt.
23:59It's exhausting.
24:09Excuse me, I have a bit of a headache.
24:16Your brother didn't save any day to join us.
24:50Someone started voting on the night at 9pm.
24:52It's just to say we're going to die.
24:52It's just to say we're going to die.
24:52We're going to die.
24:53Just to go and see.
24:55Is that right?
24:56What are you doing here?
24:56All right.
25:0357 High Street.
25:04Is that right?
25:06What are you doing here?
25:07No.
25:08I could ask you the same.
25:09But the gold letters outside give you away.
25:12Why have you come, Joel Fairley?
25:14Mr Fairley, to you.
25:17And I have a letter for Hamilton Equitable.
25:21Then I'd better take it.
25:25Bad places to be, even if you don't.
25:27Muld wine, mince pies and the like.
25:29To hand over the letter, you've gone to all the trouble of bringing me
25:32and take your leave.
25:34You're Hamilton Equitable?
25:36You're in the money-lending business.
25:38Only to you.
25:39Heard you got yourself into trouble, as the weak often do,
25:41and saw an opportunity.
25:42Now get out of my shop, leave any correspondence you have on the mat,
25:45and I'll reply after Christmas.
25:47This is the best Christmas present I could ever have.
25:50Well, this hears me thinking that I had to pay that money back.
25:53If Hamilton Equitable is some kind of real firm.
25:56No, it's real, all right.
25:57Some little jumped-up housemaid bearing a grudge because she got rejected
26:00is no real business.
26:01Take that up with the team of lawyers who have verified my interest rates
26:05on the contract you signed.
26:06Now get out of my shop.
26:09I don't want that money by tomorrow as agreed.
26:13I think you're clever, don't you?
26:15Where's the child, Emma Hart?
26:19I haven't got a child.
26:20Oh, come on.
26:21Where's the child you had that belongs to my brother?
26:24I did not have your brother's baby.
26:26Thank you for that.
26:29You're nothing but a whore.
26:30A good one, I have no doubt, but nonetheless, a whore.
26:36Edwin told me the whole sorry tale late one night, tears in his eyes.
26:40I don't know what story he's told you or himself, but I didn't have Edwin's child.
26:44Does your father know how much debt you're in?
26:46I know your game, Emma Hart.
26:49I know it's common practice with tramps from the working class that you'll turn up with
26:53your child at some stage to blackmail our family.
26:56Well, you've had enough money out of me.
27:02You know Edwin's married now, don't you?
27:07Not that his wife gives him what he wants.
27:11Not like you did, I'm sure.
27:15I saw how stuck on you Edwin was, so I imagine you know how to move those hips of yours,
27:19don't
27:20you?
27:21Oh, come on.
27:22You gave it up willingly enough for Edwin, didn't you?
27:25And I'm not about taking his seconds.
27:28What's the matter?
27:29What was like you were ready any time of day or night?
27:32Is your Christmas spirit, Emma Hart?
27:34I can see you.
27:35Put on your little dress for me.
27:37Get off!
27:38I used to see you in my house.
27:41Watching.
27:43And all you guys knew what you wanted.
27:46And so did I.
27:47So did I.
27:49Yes, you do.
27:50I know you did.
27:52I can tell.
27:53I can tell.
27:53You've got me, you're my house.
27:58I know you've got me with your house.
27:59Oh.
28:01Ah.

31:02I got the Yule log.
31:04Well, that's good, because we're going to need all the supplies that we can get.
31:07Sure, if there'd been no Yule log, I'd have had my coat on and striden out that door.
31:13What's a Yule log?
31:17You came.
31:19You're here.
31:24Happy Christmas.
31:28Good morning.
31:30You all right?
31:31I am now.
31:33Max's got a surprise of his own.
31:41Oh, I'm sorry.
31:44Hello.
31:46Emma, this is Laura.
31:48My friend.
31:52A special friend?
31:54Isn't that great news?
31:56It is.
31:57Of course it is.
31:59I kept telling Mac it wasn't a day of French Productions, but you know what he's like.
32:05He did tell you I was coming.
32:10Of course.
32:12Welcome.
32:13Welcome indeed.
32:15And for goodness sake, let's have a drink, shall we?
32:18Come on.

32:48Come on.
32:49Oh, God.
33:19Oh, God.
34:04Am I an ill-mannered brute?
34:06No warning.
34:09And an uninvited guest in tow.
34:11Oh, a dreadful brute.
34:13Always.
34:17But always, always welcome.
34:22The best one you've introduced.
34:23So I'm guessing Laura's not like the others.
34:26The many others.
34:28That's nice.
34:28The lot of it.
34:30I barely know any girls at all.
34:40Not in danger of settling down, are you?
34:44Jane O'Neill.
34:47Sure.
34:49It takes a special girl to get a proposal from me.
34:53Emma Hart.
34:57Do I still have a wife?
34:59Presents.
35:00We've waited long enough.
35:01No.
35:03Okay.
35:07No.
35:08No.
35:09No.
35:38Later on, perhaps.
35:40You can't give a man a present and not let him open it.
35:44What is it, Daddy?
35:46My love, your gift is outside the front of the house.
35:50Is it a treasure hunt?
35:52Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt!
35:55Outdoors? I mean, what needs to be kept cold?
35:58A beer?
35:59Yeah.
35:59Not a beef and potato pie.
36:07Daddy, look! Is it for you?
36:10Not for me.
36:13No, Emma!
36:14I know you want to be.
36:16Yeah, but I never dreamed it.
36:20Have you seen this?
36:23The car from my beautiful, hard-working wife.
36:27No more hardship for Emma Hart, eh?
36:31Well done, my morning.
36:44I have an unimaginative gift I need help with.
36:48Nice.
36:50Well, my husband hasn't shown his devotion to me with cheap chocolates.
36:54No, these are definitely mid-range.
37:05I don't agree with everything Mr Fairley says, but I'm sure he's right that your sister would want you to
37:13be happy.
37:15Who knows what Adele would have wanted.
37:19She didn't know herself, I suspect.
37:23All I know is how strange it feels with her gone.
37:30It's as if everything's gone dark.
37:36People leave us, but the love doesn't.
37:40You think you can't stand it, the grief.
37:44Then one day it starts to become bearable.
37:48The sun comes out.
37:53Olivia!
38:00We can look for it ourselves all we like, but what we're all hoping for is that love finds us.
38:11Don't you think?
38:13Real love.
38:16The kind you don't have to question.
38:41No.
38:44You saw Edwin's reaction.
38:46He was horrified.
38:48And if we think that anyone at all will feel any differently, then we're lying to ourselves.
38:53I mean, for God's sake, I don't feel any differently.
38:54It is horrifying.
38:58So, I can't do it.
38:59I'm sorry.
39:00I can't.
39:04I can't.
39:11So, it was all for nothing, then.
39:19Adele's death.
39:21You broke your sister's heart.
39:24She drank herself to death.
39:26We all lost her.
39:28We all suffered this unimaginable, utter misery.
39:32But for no reason.
39:38Olivia.
39:41If we don't legitimize this, if we don't show the world that you and I weren't just fooling
39:47around, then how do you explain what the hell you're still doing here?
39:55What's been going on in this house?
40:00How do we explain it to the boys?
40:26Now, come on, it's Christmas.
40:29What are we playing, charades?
40:45For my beautiful wife, for Deeds the Shop, all three, all in your name, Merry Christmas.
40:55I want to pay for them.
40:56I mean it.
40:58I have all the money saved.
41:09That car was some present.
41:13Joe deserves some consolation for his absentee wife.
41:17And he deserves not to feel stuck.
41:22Also, you deserve a husband who can speed you up and down in a fancy sports car.
41:29He did want a car.
41:32It's just, it may be he wanted other things more.
41:42It can be lonely.
41:45Am I right?
41:49Having purpose.
41:51Being so certain every day.
41:55Not everyone understands.
41:57So, it can be lonely.
42:08Laura's wonderful.
42:10She's a good woman.
42:11Seems stuck on you.
42:14Can you blame the girl?
42:18She's not like us, though.
42:21Well, what a relief.
42:22Well, she wants a quiet life.
42:24Although, did you see her in the passenger seat?
42:26She's screaming, she was.
42:30She's a dark horse.
42:31Yes.
42:32Tell you that.
42:38I'm glad you like her.
42:40So, that's important.
42:48I'm buying the shops from Joe.
42:50All of them.
42:53And I've got myself a present, too.
43:01You're looking at the new owner of Fairley Mill.
43:09Because when you're busy making sacrifices every day,
43:12you deserve the odd reward.
43:18You're doing it, Emma.
43:21You're doing it.
43:22I am.
43:23I am.
43:25And I'm only just beginning.
43:36Check the shops.
43:38Emma.
43:39I want to.
43:40Please.
43:41To feel safe.
43:46How was it?
43:47Oh, she's a dream.
43:50The car and the wife.
43:54I wanted you to have something you loved.
43:58So did I.
44:04Hello.
44:10Oh, you're squishing me.
44:12Watch out.
44:15I'm flushing blood, you know.
44:18We wanted to surprise you.
44:20How are you doing?
44:21Yeah.
44:23Are you surprised?
44:24I am, I'm afraid.
44:25I am.
44:26I am.
44:28It's more important, eh?
44:30The family.
44:33Come here.
44:43Where the hell have you been?
44:46You've missed quite a day.
44:48Did you at least manage to buy yourself more time?
44:52Gerald.
44:55Mother was the only one who thought anything of me, wasn't she?
44:59It's just about the debt.
45:01Gerald.
45:02It's just money.
45:03It doesn't matter.
45:04It's gone.
45:05The mill's gone.
45:06She's taken it.
45:07Who has?
45:08Who's taken it?
45:09Your little whore.
45:11Emma Hart.
45:15Strutting around like she's anything more than just a tramp maid.
45:20And she's dangerous.
45:21She won't stop there.
45:23But we can make sure she gets what's coming to her.
45:26Can't we, Edward?
45:29We'll remind Emma Hart who she really is.
45:32We'll make her sorry.
45:33Won't we?
45:59This is madness.
46:00Pretending everything's fine.
46:01When we all know war could be declared any second.
46:04If we don't go over there and stop the Germans, they'll bring the fight to us.
46:07What has that damn girl done now?
46:09She's punishing me and she won't give up.
46:11Time is not a luxury we have, gentlemen.
46:13The war has begun.
46:14See you next time.
46:21Bye.
46:32Bye.
46:33Bye.
46:34Bye.
46:35Bye.
46:35Bye.
