00:06Welcome back, Mrs. Hart.
00:08Oh, have I been away?
00:11Charming scarf.
00:12Oh, thank you.
00:13Spring, summer, yes.
00:14And just perfect with those boots.
00:17Now, my Psytex presentation at 11, yes?
00:20Oh, Paula's taking that on.
00:23Her last one was a triumph.
00:25We sent her cookies.
00:44Grandy?
00:44No need for big speeches, thank you.
00:47You know, I have apologised a million times,
00:50and there's no-one in the whole world I admire more than you.
00:53Oh, you are doing this speech, are you?
00:55Are you hoping I'll send you biscuits?
00:57Grandy, you have to listen to me.
01:01They know.
01:03They all know you've been ill.
01:05Some source at the hospital.
01:08They're gathering the board in London next Monday.
01:11They told everyone that you've been ill, and I'm afraid.
01:17They've got the votes.
01:20They're going to oust you.
01:21Heart Enterprises, Psytex, it's all to be taken from you and put in their names.
01:28Bedwina.
01:29Yes.
01:30Along with Uncle Kit, Uncle Robin and Aunt Elizabeth.
01:33I'm so sorry.
01:35What can I do?
01:41I see you've been dabbling in lycra.
01:45Oh, our new leisure wear range.
01:47You'll hate it, I'm sure, but I'm convinced it's the next big thing.
01:52Well, looks very comfortable.
01:58Zip fastening on the side would improve the lines.
02:03Leave me, would you, Paula?
02:05I'm suddenly very tired.
02:26Henry, it's Emma.
02:29I've decided I would like to go ahead.
02:33Yes, please.
02:36And we're to be certain it's absolutely watertight.
02:42My birthday?
02:45Not a thing, I imagine.
02:48What use are birthdays?
02:50Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear kid, happy birthday to you.
03:08Right, who wants a slice?
03:11Me.
03:12Yes, please.
03:17This is madness.
03:20Pretending everything's fine.
03:22Throwing a party when we all know war could be declared any second.
03:25We'll be waiting either way.
03:27Might as well eat cake while we're doing it.
03:30Mac, business has been slowing down for months.
03:33I've had to take out loans.
03:35What does Joe say?
03:39Emma, you haven't told him.
03:41He won't hear it.
03:42He's convinced himself war won't happen.
03:44Well, maybe he's right.
03:45He's not.
03:46I need a plan.
03:51Never let a problem that can't be solved with an Emma harsh plan.
03:58Emma.
03:59Mac.
04:00Family photograph.
04:01Everyone in.
04:03Come on.
04:09Come on, put your arm around your wife, man.
04:14Come on.
04:41Excuse me, sorry.
04:44No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:51No, no, no, no, no, no.
05:04No, no, no, no, no, no.
05:45No, no, no, no, no.
05:57No, no, no, no, no.
06:11No, no, no, no, no.
06:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:17No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:19No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:21No, no, no, no, no.
08:18No, no, no, no.
08:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
09:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
09:55No, no, no, no, no.
10:12No, no, no.
10:57No, no, no, no, no, no.
11:12No, no, no.
11:59No, no, no.
12:15No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:41No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:55I don't think there's anybody in this world
12:56who has more faith in you than I do.
13:00Mac had no doubts.
13:02Not one.
13:06Laura, please.
13:08I said I didn't want to.
13:11Laura?
13:12Emma, talk some sentence to him, please.
13:14I'll listen to you.
13:14What's going on?
13:16He's signing up.
13:18Sacrificing himself for a country that's not even hit.
13:20Laura.
13:20My husband's going to give his life for the whim of a government
13:22who won't give women the vote,
13:24and I'm supposed to just accept it.
13:25It does seem a bit rash, Mac.
13:27It's early days.
13:28I'm not doing this for the government or the king.
13:32Can't you see?
13:33If we don't go over there and stop the Germans,
13:36they'll bring the fight to us.
13:37There's no doubt it'll reach these shores.
13:40That'll take months, years.
13:42The war will be over by Christmas.
13:44And what if it's not?
13:47I can't sit here waiting for them to come to us.
13:52I have to do this.
13:55To keep you safe.
13:57But we don't want you to.
13:59Do we, Emma?
14:00Tell him.
14:01He's right.
14:04We have to do what we can, no matter how risky.
14:07It scares me.
14:07Of course it does.
14:08I couldn't bear the thought.
14:12But we can't be ruled by fear.
14:15This is bigger than all of us.
14:18And we've got good lives that we've worked hard for.
14:21People to protect.
14:24If we don't fight tooth and nail in whatever way we can,
14:27God knows what that'll mean for our children.
14:30Doing nothing.
14:32Isn't that the biggest risk of all?
14:56We'll be with you in just a second.
14:57Feel free to browse.
15:00There she is.
15:03Emma Hart.
15:07Look at you.
15:10How far you've come.
15:20You should know that Edmund told me everything.
15:26He's got it into his head that he has to, um...
15:32He's volunteering to fight, punishing himself for what happened between the pair of you.
15:40Now, if what Edmund says is true and your feelings for each other were in fact genuine,
15:45then I'm sure you don't want his life at risk any more than I do.
15:52So, I thought you could write him a letter saying that you forgive him, absolving him.
16:02Maybe, just maybe, he'll see sense.
16:08No.
16:15No.
16:17The word you're unfamiliar with, squire.
16:19I'm not as well read as you, but I believe if you look it up in the dictionary,
16:23it means there'll be a cold day in hell before I do any such thing.
16:29Emma.
16:31My son could die.
16:32And that has absolutely nothing to do with me.
16:42Oh, you used to remind me so much of your mother.
16:47But I can see now, you're quite different.
16:51What do you know about my mother?
16:53Oh, she didn't tell you.
16:55Elizabeth.
16:56She used to serve our family much like you did.
17:00I was very fond of her.
17:04You're lying.
17:05We spent a wonderful summer together.
17:07Out on the moors.
17:09In the caves.
17:11On top of the world.
17:14Only, she was able to see our time together for what it was.
17:18She didn't bear a grudge.
17:20And I'm asking you to do the same.
17:24Find it in your heart to forgive.
17:27I think it's what your mother would want.
17:36Why didn't you help her?
17:41She could have lived.
17:45If we could have got a doctor to see her, to give her medicine,
17:49you could have paid for that.
17:53I, uh...
17:54My father ran into a burning building to save your son.
17:57He gave his life for him.
17:59You wouldn't even give one penny for my mother's.
18:02That's hardly fair.
18:03No such thing is fair.
18:04Not in this world, though I see why you believe in it.
18:06Since every coin you've ever tossed has landed heads up.
18:09But that is just luck.
18:10All I'm trying to do is protect my child.
18:12Edwin is a grown man who is choosing to put himself in the line of fire.
18:16My mother never had a choice her whole life.
18:19You need to get upset.
18:20Oh, I'm not upset.
18:21I am burning with rage.
18:23And that will never change.
18:25You, your sons, your wife, you destroyed my family.
18:28And you could be quite sure I will not rest until I've destroyed yours.
18:40I am burning with rage.
19:07Oh, my God.
19:37Oh, my God.
20:15Oh, my God.
20:19I'll be up soon.
20:21It's already morning.
20:23Been here all night.
20:26I'm sorry.
20:30I've been thinking.
20:33And we need to give ourselves the best possible chance of winning the military uniform contract.
20:39So that's why I think...
20:45You should do the presentation.
20:47What?
20:48Perform it, I mean.
20:49I'll write it.
20:50Or we can write it together.
20:52And practice it over and over until you know it back to front.
20:54Emma...
20:55I know you're angry with me about the shops, but this is for our family, for the children.
21:00Those lords are never going to give the contract to a woman.
21:03They want someone who looks like them.
21:05A man they can trust in.
21:06And I don't know a more trustworthy man than...
21:08I've signed up.
21:16Joe?
21:19Is this because Mac?
21:23I'm not daft, Emma.
21:26I wouldn't risk leaving our children without a father just to prove to you I'm as much of a man
21:30as he is.
21:33I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared.
21:37But how could I ever look them in the eye?
21:40Kit and Edwina.
21:42If I didn't do everything I could to protect them.
21:48But...
21:50I need you.
21:55Sorry, Emma.
21:58I didn't know.
22:02I've never have done before.
22:25People worried the Boer War would last for years.
22:28And look how quickly that ended.
22:31Weren't there too, Boer War was?
22:33Yes.
22:34The second one lasted three years.
22:39Still, I'm sure that this time next year we'll all be back to our normal lives and everyone will be
22:43so grateful to you for your bravery here, Edwin.
22:46Yes, I'm sure you'll be a huge asset on the battlefield.
22:49With all your experience wielding pens and fanning about the newsroom.
22:54I'm looking forward to the parades.
22:56I'm looking forward to the parades when it's over.
22:58I expect there'll be some.
22:59Yes, it's a parade.
23:01That should make all the death worth it.
23:08What?
23:09What?
23:09What?
23:10He's obviously not coming.
23:11He is.
23:12No.
23:16He isn't.
23:26He isn't.
23:29Everyone's wondering where you are.
23:32I thought you'd be too busy drinking champagne, toasting the stupidest decision that everyone's ever made.
23:42Adam, it's not too late to tell him how you feel.
23:45I made that perfectly clear.
23:57I don't want you to have any regrets.
24:00They're poisonous.
24:03I wish I'd told Adele.
24:05Yes, perhaps if you had, instead of whatever it was you said that drove her back to the drink, she'd
24:11still be here.
24:28Edwina, love, listen.
24:30Do you understand what Daddy's saying?
24:33That I've got to go away for a little while.
24:35Can I come?
24:37No, love.
24:40Daddy's got an important job to do.
24:42I'll be back before you know it.
24:44For Christmas.
24:49Yeah.
24:51For Christmas.
24:59You should sleep.
25:02You'll need it.
25:09It's for the birthdays.
25:13I've got up to Edwina's 16th, which is impossible to imagine, isn't it?
25:24Will you, um...
25:27If I don't...
25:35You will.
25:49No, no, no...
25:51No.
25:51No, no.
25:58No, no.
25:59No, no.
26:01No, no.
26:14Oh, my God.
26:43Oh, my God.
27:28Oh, my God.
27:34That's what you've always been looking for.
27:38You might be right about that.
27:41But...
27:45I'm not sure I deserve it.
28:00I'm sorry.
28:04I know who you wanted this to be.
28:09I never should have pretended I was capable of giving you what you wanted.
28:32You shouldn't wait for me.
28:35Whatever happens, don't wait.
28:39You deserve that heart-srowing love you've always dreamed of.
28:47The kind you had with Emma.
28:56How?
28:56I found the letters.
29:00Oh, God.
29:02That's why I had to alter my dress.
29:07I wanted to meet her.
29:11I can see why she made your heart so...
29:16I'm sorry you lost her.
29:20I'm sorry, honey.
29:25I'm sorry, honey.
29:28I'm sorry, honey.
29:48I was worried about her...
29:51I'm sorry.
29:55I don't know.
29:56I don't know.
29:57I don't know.
30:03What do you want me to do?
30:05I'll explain.
30:06Oh, my God.
30:06I'm sorry, honey.
30:09I'll explain.
30:10Oh, my God.
30:13Oh, my God.
30:37Safe travels.
30:47...
30:52...
30:59...
31:01...
31:02...
31:02...
31:03Let's go.
31:34Let's go.
32:11I love you.
32:15I love you.
32:22I love you.
32:25I love you.
32:32I love you.
32:32So you can be sure I will find my way back to you.
32:38I love you.
32:40I love you.
33:01I told you, didn't I?
33:04I'm no good at these.
33:05It wasn't goodbye then and it isn't now.
33:08Don't even say it.
33:10Say see you soon because you will.
33:12You have to.
33:15There's no me without you Shane O'Neill.
33:18Not since that first morning we met on the Mars.
33:22So don't go being the hero.
33:25I know that will be hard for you but I need you back here.
33:39See you soon then Emma.
33:52I know that will be fine.
33:56I know that will be fine.
33:59I know.
34:09I love you.
34:16Oh, my God.
34:55Oh, my God.
35:10Oh, my God.
35:10Oh, my God.
35:41Very generous of you.
35:43They must pass up this answer.
35:48Listen to this.
35:50Remember to drink your tea while it's still hot.
35:52You often set it aside and forget when you're lost in your work.
35:57I swap it for a fresh one before you notice.
36:00And I've left a shawl on the back of your chair.
36:03Use it.
36:05You always feel the cold when the evening draft creeps in.
36:11He knows you pretty well.
36:12What are we supposed to do with that?
36:16Carry on.
36:24You should stay.
36:26Stay here.
36:28Not just tonight, but until they come home.
36:32Get each other through it.
36:41But we won't be wallowing.
36:43You've got your presentation.
36:46I can't win without you.
36:47They'll never take me seriously.
36:48That's what a woman would say.
36:51Now, a man with all your achievements and a proposal as good as yours,
36:58he would go in there and act like he'd already won.
37:08Adam.
37:09She killed my son.
37:13Who has?
37:16Well, Adam, Edwin's not dead.
37:19He's...
37:20She'll pay.
37:22I'll make sure that woman pays.
37:25Who?
37:29Emma Hart.
37:32Dearest Jo,
37:33I don't know when or even if this letter will reach you.
37:38But I have to try
37:39to tell you how sorry I am.
37:42Because you're right,
37:43a marriage should be about two partners.
37:46And I regret more than anything
37:48that I never gave you the chance to be mine.
37:52I've been so proud,
37:54so stubborn.
37:55Thinking I had to do it all on my own.
37:58That I didn't notice the sacrifices you made.
38:01The quiet strength you were offering.
38:04How you loved me,
38:05supported me,
38:07and trusted me.
38:09Without asking for anything in return.
38:12It was unforgivable
38:13deciding to sell the shops.
38:15So I've taken them off the market.
38:18Yes, we are in significant debt.
38:22But some things are more important than money.
38:25I'm a part owner of two mills in the factory for you owners,
38:29hoist to begin sewing our soldiers' uniforms as soon.
38:34Immediately.
38:35Subject to your...
38:36I have every faith
38:37that I'll win the bid
38:38for the military uniform contract.
38:40Just as I have every faith
38:42that you'll come home to me.
38:44And when you do, Joe,
38:47I'll be the partner you deserve.
38:49I promise you that.
39:15Gentlemen,
39:16Our men, fathers, brothers, sons, husbands, including my own,
39:22are out on the fields of France fighting for king and country.
39:25The least we can do is provide them with the best possible uniforms
39:28to aid their path to victory.
39:30The most durable wool, the most functional designs.
39:34And I am the person to make that happen.
39:37I know I'm not the usual sort to stand before you.
39:39As you've likely observed, I'm not a man.
39:46But I ask you to pay attention not to who I am, but to what I'm offering.
39:51I am the proud owner of two mills and a factory full of workers
39:55poised to begin sewing our soldiers' uniforms immediately,
39:58subject to your approval of my designs.
40:01I've already begun producing the fabric needed at my own cost.
40:05I knew that inflation on the price of raw materials would be coming, and fast.
40:08So the day war was declared, I secured the wool needed to make 16,000 uniforms
40:13at a price of one shilling per pound.
40:16If you were to buy that wool today, you wouldn't be able to get it for less than one shilling
40:19and three pence.
40:21Tomorrow, it will be higher.
40:23And that's how I know that not one of the men you've heard from so far
40:26will be able to offer you a more competitive price than I can.
40:29Time is not a luxury we have, gentlemen. The war has begun.
40:33Pick me, and not only can I offer you the highest quality at the lowest price, but I can begin
40:38today.
40:46I've had an idea, and it's rather brilliant if I do say so myself.
40:51Oh well, let's hear it.
40:53You should join the VAD.
40:55We can train together.
40:56Oh.
40:57It'll be so much more fun if it's the two of us.
41:00I really think you'd get something out of it.
41:03Well, I don't think so.
41:05Why not?
41:06Well, I don't think Adam would...
41:08I mean, he needs me here.
41:11Especially with Edwin gone.
41:13And what about what you need?
41:15Well, I...
41:17I don't, I'm...
41:19I'm fine.
41:21Are you?
41:23Yes.
41:27What?
41:29Nothing.
41:30Nothing.
41:30It's just...
41:31You seem to spend a lot of time worrying about Mr Fairley's needs, but...
41:37He doesn't seem to give yours a second thought.
41:41What a thing to say.
41:42That's not true.
41:45Isn't it?
41:47No.
41:48I...
41:50I know Adam can be...
41:53But he's been through an awful lot.
41:55I mean, he lost his wife.
41:57And you lost your sister.
41:59Yes, yes, I did.
42:00I lost her.
42:00We both lost someone that we adored that day.
42:03And it was my fault.
42:04Because I broke Adele's heart.
42:06I betrayed her.
42:07I drove her back to the drink.
42:08You broke her heart?
42:10All on your own?
42:11And what about Mr Fairley?
42:13I was the last person to speak to her.
42:15No, you weren't.
42:17I was.
42:19No, it was...
42:21Mr Fairley.
42:23I heard him.
42:24In Mrs Fairley's room.
42:26Arguing, saying the cruelest things only a few hours before she...
42:32Are you making this up?
42:34No.
42:36I swear.
42:41Thank you so much, Lord Acton.
42:43I really appreciate you giving me the opportunity.
42:45You're welcome.
42:46You've got my details, haven't you?
42:47If you have any further questions...
42:49Charles!
42:51Adam Fairley!
42:52Charlie!
42:53Good to see you, old boy.
42:54How long has it been?
42:56How's that horse of yours running?
42:58Huh?
42:59I'm going to insist that you die with us again soon.
43:01I know, Olivia's just dying to see Penny.
43:05Now, regarding those uniforms...
43:07I think we could be the perfect call.
43:09I want to be prepared.
43:11I want to be controlled.
43:12That's right.
43:32The contract's lost.
43:34I lost.
43:36But it's okay.
43:38There'll be a way, won't there?
43:40Find a way to fix it.
43:42Fix everything.
43:45And I haven't come up with a plan yet.
43:47But I always do.
44:05Who?
44:33I love you.
44:35Mommy! Mommy!
44:40Mommy, why are you crying?
44:43I love you.
44:47I love you, Edwina.
44:53No, I haven't heard from Edwina for a while.
44:57But I'll give her your regards.
45:01And watertight, yes?
45:05Right, goodbye.
45:15Would you send Paula in, please?
45:19No more secrets, Paula. Agreed?
45:22No more secrets.
45:24And I'd like you to contact the family, please.
45:27I believe I'm going to have that birthday party, after all.
45:30Ask Jerry to make travel arrangements.
45:33The whole clan. For this weekend.
45:35This weekend?
45:36Before Monday.
45:38That's right. My children can celebrate with me en route to their famous meeting.
45:43Let's make this an occasion to remember.
45:47We're going home.
45:56Good to be home.
45:58Always.
45:59We need to preserve our legacy at all costs.
46:02And I think I've got the answer.
46:03A partnership with the Fairleys.
46:05I would have spat if someone suggested it before now.
46:08All the traitors present.
46:10Let's get started, shall we?
46:14Let's get started, shall we?
