00:10Wait for a day, wait for a night, trust at your tone, so you'd never know, it's me.
00:44How are those helicopter lessons coming along, Stephen, but I might set up a few for myself.
00:51Mrs. Hart, I need two minutes of your time.
00:54One will be more than ample, Mr. Fairley.
00:57I've come with a warning.
01:00Theatrical?
01:01Mrs. Hart, I'm assuming you haven't seen the news about the crash in Hart's share prices, and about the leak.
01:08A source from inside your company has intimated to the press that you're fragile, losing control.
01:17They've provided them with your confidential medical records.
01:24And with Hart's stocks already 12% down on the LSE, things are looking bleak for the world's richest woman,
01:30Anna Hart, whose retail empire is reeling today from revelations about her health status.
01:36Stephen?
01:37Yes, Mrs. Hart?
01:38I'm going to walk.
01:39Oh, ma'am.
01:40Mrs. Hart, this isn't an easy thing to broach, but I believe...
01:45Thanks.
02:01Mrs. Hart, I hope by warning you, proves I can be trusted.
02:06Hello?
02:07Morning, Ted.
02:10Hello?
02:11Hello?
02:12Hello?
02:13Hello?
02:13Hello?
02:14Hello?
02:15Hello?
02:15Hello?
02:28Happy anniversary, Bernie.
02:30That sure rolls around.
02:32Perfumes, ground floor.
02:33Jewelry, floor three.
02:35Otherwise, dog houses, floor six.
02:38My regards to Cheryl.
02:40Please, I know this must be a shop.
02:42A friend of yours, Mrs. Hart?
02:44Hardly.
02:44Mrs. Hart?
02:45Please, let me help.
02:46I know how hard you've worked for all this.
02:48Now the papers are saying you're finished.
02:50Mrs. Hart?
03:01God, Grandy, we tried to get a message to you.
03:03What do we know?
03:03Are you all right?
03:04Those hospital records they have, are they...
03:06A complete fabrication.
03:07Where's it come from, this week?
03:09We've no idea, but it's rather detailed, I'm afraid.
03:11It appears one of the board.
03:13We need to control their narrative with press releases.
03:15A full page spread in every outlet you own.
03:17Oh, and a dog, but who knows I don't?
03:21Accountants.
03:22Henry's in Aspen, Mrs. Hart, at his daughter's wedding.
03:24Insures are down 14% now.
03:27Jerry!
03:41I took the stairs.
03:44One unwelcome appearance of a morning might be considered an intrusion to verges on trespass.
03:52Jerry, send in security.
03:53There's a wasp at the picnic.
03:56Mrs. Hart, I'm trying to earn your trust, and I hope perhaps this endless feud...
03:59Oh, I wouldn't call it a feud.
04:02What would you call it, then?
04:03Well, I don't get involved in semantics.
04:05Um, a war?
04:08It's vital to me you realize I am better than the rest of my family.
04:10Oh, well, that's an exceptionally unambitious claim.
04:14Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a mole to un-earth.
04:18But it's not just some anonymous board member.
04:20Mrs. Hart, I know who it is.
04:24It's your children.
04:28If you think for one moment that I'd trust you, Mr. Fairley...
04:33I know you have dedicated your entire life to the hatred of my family.
04:38Oh, now, you're quite wrong, Mr. Fairley.
04:41Hatred happens in secret, with neither purpose nor aspiration.
04:46No, what I've dedicated my life to...
04:50is revenge.
05:15I'm looking for Fairley Hall.
05:18Sorry to startle you.
05:20I'm, uh, repairing their chimneys.
05:26Shane O'Neill is the name.
05:29But the whole world calls me Mac.
05:37You can keep up.
05:38You can follow.
05:51My mom calls at the top of the world.
05:57Keep up!
06:13Well, I think that'll do with me.
06:16What do you reckon?
06:18Ever smelt a rose?
06:19I reckon that had a wasp in it.
06:34Edmund.
06:34Emma.
06:37I thought you didn't graduate till summer.
06:41Any excuse to come home?
06:46Well, you'll have missed your family.
06:48Have you known my family?
06:50My father's hosting a weekend for some, dignitary or other.
06:54You're supposed to impress them.
06:57Well, good luck.
06:58Being impressive.
07:02Emma.
07:11It's nice to have done your look.
07:14For the chimneys, Shane O'Neill that the whole world calls a Mac.
07:19This is Edwin.
07:20Master Edwin.
07:25Emma Hart!
07:33Sorry.
07:40Right, pay attention, you lot.
07:43Mary.
07:43Beds, baths, bedpans.
07:45Holly.
07:46In with the mistress, as usual.
07:48Finally.
07:51Emma.
07:52Silverware, grates, glassware, all stairs and floors.
07:55Now...
07:55And on time in future.
08:10Here we are.
08:17Bing.
08:18Ritz.IEH.
08:43Perhaps you'd like to treat yourself to some toast with that jam.
08:46What a version in all things.
08:49Except preserves.
08:53Did your father tell you how cleverly he ironed out his issue with that foreman?
08:57Yes. All ships shaped at the mill, largely. Thanks to you.
09:02Well, if Sir Vikram's impressed with you, it would all have been worthwhile.
09:06Edward, did I tell you?
09:08The Chandras, Sir Vikram and his daughter Priya, are coming to us straight from his trading meetings at Downing Street.
09:14He did say yes.
09:17Gosh, we must do our very best to get the Chandras on side.
09:20Let's see if we can't do our bit for Anglo-Indian relations.
09:24Well, Edward never lets anyone down.
09:27No, I Gerald.
09:38Wordmer.
09:47So help me out there?
09:51Lord, is resumed.
09:56Sorry.
09:56Don't let him touch down.
09:57Please deal.
10:04Emma.
10:06What are you doing?
10:07That kiss.
10:08The morning I left.
10:09In the stable.
10:10We mustn't.
10:11We never should have.
10:12I know.
10:12We've resisted for so long.
10:14Your lips.
10:15The taste of your mouth.
10:16It's all I can think about.
10:17We can't.
10:19They catch us.
10:20I don't care.
10:21Do you?
10:22Yes.
10:22You don't have a job to lose.
10:24Emma, this isn't some whim.
10:25Emma, this is you and me.
10:28Running, laughing.
10:29Telling each other everything.
10:32But it's different now, isn't it?
10:34Since that kiss, it's changed.
10:36How can it not be better?
10:38I know you, Emma.
10:40I know you feel it, too.
10:42I can't.
10:44I don't.
10:47I do.
10:48I do, of course.
10:48I do, but I mustn't.
10:50I mustn't.
11:01Something on your mind?
11:05Someone.
11:06Mam.
11:09I know those mill boys finish early on a Saturday, but you stay focused, do you?
11:15Did you get your extra dining money?
11:18I have.
11:22Keep climbing, Emma.
11:26You're talented.
11:27With your dressmaking.
11:29You've an eye.
11:30I've got two.
11:33And if you're smart, which I know you are, you can get out to Fairway.
11:38Don't be like me, you hear?
11:40Remember your plan with a capital P.
11:43Get out and get on.
11:47Or the rest of us, if we're bowing him fairly, we'll die here.
11:52But you won't get trapped.
11:55Remember, without money, you're vulnerable.
11:58So stay focused.
11:59And if a chance comes, you grab it.
12:04You hear me?
12:12McQueen.
12:13So don't get distracted.
12:15Don't take your eye off the board.
12:18Keep thinking ahead.
12:19Three moves at least.
12:33I'll finish tomorrow.
12:35Shall we?
12:36Aye, love.
12:38She's tired again.
12:40I was thinking, might we find money to at least talk to a doctor?
12:43We won't afford medicine.
12:46Are your mum all right?
12:49She's fine.
12:52Shh.
12:53You sleep.
12:54Hmm.
13:11Well, that's football for you, son.
13:13Tell you now, I don't know how Bradford think they've got a catty nails chance against Newcastle after that show
13:18at Blackburn.
13:18Oh, Blackburn.
13:19Yeah, look.
13:20Dreadful results.
13:21Dreadful.
13:22Mum's not burning up as much as I say.
13:24No?
13:25Well, she's a fighter.
13:27Your mum, she fights.
13:28Like me.
13:29I can fight, can't I, Dad?
13:31All right, we'll get him here.
13:32Heavyweight, aren't you, son?
13:33Go on, get him in the belly.
13:35Go on, big man.
13:36See where you got, son.
13:39You know, your dad's getting old, Dad.
13:41Small but powerful.
13:42Look at that.
13:44Hey, he's on a slice already.
13:48Have a good day, Dad.
13:51It's all right.
13:52Yo.
13:53Small but greedy, more like.
14:13Just talk so nice.
14:15If they catch her, I can look after myself.
14:45Holly.
14:48Well, look at that.
14:50My husband finally come to see me.
14:53I had time to kill.
14:56Flatterer.
15:00I like your shirt.
15:02It's ancient.
15:03Well, a bit like me, then.
15:05Hmm.
15:06Perhaps that's why I like it.
15:10How do I seem to you, Adam?
15:12I hate not to live up to your expectations.
15:15Every man has the right to expect his madwife in the attic to behave appropriately.
15:32I should not go.
15:33I should not go.
15:37But you wanted to go.
15:45I'm always here, Squire Fair.
15:48I watch you from the window, wondering if you'll come.
15:52When you're riding your horses, holding on tight.
15:55No.
15:57No.
16:00No.
16:01No.
16:01No.
16:01No.
16:01No.

16:12No.
16:14No.
16:17No.
16:19Mrs. Fairley is waiting.
16:22Pulley is on an errand.

25:42Yes
25:43Love
25:45No
25:46No
25:46I'm so sorry
25:47I'm so sorry
25:48You're so sorry
25:54Oh, you're here, are you? About time. No time for moping, in my heart. I missed half a day yesterday,
26:03and we'll be parting tomorrow.
26:09It's a lovely morning out there, so no need for these, I don't think.
26:21Have you made any progress with your book?
26:28Would you like me to read to you again?
26:30I wouldn't like. No, not at all.
26:35Right. I heard there was to be a party.
26:39Oh, Sir Vikram. He's terribly important, so I suspect desperately boring.
26:48Well, thank you for stepping in.
26:52No, it's not a question of stepping in.
26:55Just while I'm here, for your sake, I may as well every now and again run my eyes over Adam's
27:02business papers.
27:05What else do you run your eye over?
27:09At all.
27:14Olivia, why would any man ever be beguiled by beige when he has every colour of the rainbow upstairs?
27:25You'll need a rest, I expect.
27:28Then perhaps tomorrow I could...
27:29Will you read to me? How wonderful!
27:32You know, you would have made a charming mother, Olivia.
27:49Emma.
27:55What?
27:56I was...
27:59I heard about your mother.
28:07I've been thinking, sir.
28:09Might I be considered to look after Mrs...
28:16What?
28:16Would you be considered to what?
28:21I believe, Squire Fairley, that it's important to take your chances in life.
28:25And I reckon I understand the mistress.
28:28So I was wondering if I might look after her from now on.
28:31As her personal maid.
28:34I think if you asked the mistress, she'd like that too.
28:39I was thinking, for she'll lean tomorrow a week.
28:44Hmm.
28:45Hmm.
29:10When you know loss, Emma, it can suddenly feel like it's all you know.
29:16But you know a whole lot.
29:19So that's what you hold on to, do you hear?
29:23Because you're hungry.
29:25Isn't that right?
29:27And when you've no one hungry, well, sure, you stay hungry.
29:32Emma Hart!
29:35What have you been saying to the master?
29:40From now on, he says it's your job to take the mistress's tray.
29:46Well, I don't know why you're standing still when the mistress is upstairs waiting.
29:55Emma?
30:01I finally feel like I'm being taken care of.
30:05So much for friends.
30:07I'm sorry, I have a family to look after.
30:10I know what Mrs. Fairley likes.
30:12But it's about what she needs, and when she needed you, you were with the master.
30:16Oh, well, isn't she lucky?
30:18Having you to show her just our life's done.
30:21Blame me if you like, Paul, either if you do, I'm sure, but I know he really disappointed himself.
30:30Stay there.
30:32Come back here, you little rat.
30:34You'll never be a lady on the heart.
30:36Your dad's a layabout, and your mam.
30:38Your mam spent her all life trying to be better than us, too.
30:42Then proved she weren't after all by dying of being poor.
30:48Oh!
30:49Oh!
30:51Oh!
30:56Enough!
30:57Enough!
30:58Enough!
31:00Absolute disgrace!
31:01A pair of you!
31:02Come here, what have you got to say?
31:04Hey?
31:05She tied me!
31:06She tied me!
31:08Alright, fetch your fingers.
31:10Come on.
31:10No! No!
31:14Gerald!
31:15Gerald, I was running errands for you, wasn't I?
31:18Tell him!
31:21I don't know what you're talking about.
31:23Good decision, Murgershroyd. We have dogs to do our attacking.
31:35Mothers, come and go. That is how life works in the house.
31:40And jobs are the same if you're not careful.
31:47We always used to look out for each other.
31:50Now we're fighting like animals.
31:53This place is wicked.
31:55All the mountains of food going to waste.
31:57And your mother talking about dreams.
31:59Do you know what my dad dreams of?
32:02Survival!
32:03That my man might have...
32:08You should've lived!
32:11I'm sorry.
32:13I'm so sorry about your mother.
32:15When I grow up, I won't ever be poor.
32:19I won't ever want for anything like my mum did every last second of her life.
32:22None of my family will. I promise you that. I promise you.
32:25Emma, you've got me.
32:25My world's not yours.
32:27My father breaks his back hauling bricks while your father sits ordering lunch while his workers half-starved.
32:33The family will want you to marry some rich girls so that when you're a fancy lawyer she'll get writing.
32:39Emma, listen to me.
32:42You're talking about other people.
32:44Not the two of us.
32:46You and I are just the same.
32:50Only one of us has covered an egg.
32:59What's all this, Frank?
33:01Eh?
33:05I bumped me egg.
33:10My mum always used to kiss it better.
33:15But also...
33:16Where do I keep bloody bumping it?
33:21Because you're a hooligan.
33:23And foul mouths too.
33:26Come on.
33:28I'll cry until the bloody washing up's done.
33:39This party today, I should go.
33:42Shouldn't I?
33:44I must, but...
33:45Will I survive?
33:47When I'm drinking, I might do anything.
33:51Which is, of course, the curse and the bliss of it.
33:53There's your answer. No drinking.
33:55Let's get your dress for now, Mrs Fairley. Then see what comes next.
33:58Is it beautiful enough, do you think?
34:01If I just take these roses off.
34:02Oh no.
34:03You'll ruin it.
34:05It'll be dry, won't it?
34:06It won't, Mrs Fairley.
34:07It'll be elegant.
34:08I can change the neckline.
34:10These sleeves.
34:11Maybe even a slit in the skirt.
34:13Trust me.
34:20I remember having your skin.
34:24Just keep breathing, Mrs Fairley.
34:27And when you're nervous, put your hand on your heart.
34:31And check it's still there.
34:46You'll go downstairs and look kindly at your sister.
34:49We'll tell you stories and let the whole room admire you.
34:52You can do it, Mrs Fairley.
34:55Of course you can.
35:25I'm sorry, ma'am.
35:27I'm sorry, ma'am.
35:32You'll be very quiet.
35:33Are you doing this?
35:35About the party.
35:36Oh no, I'm fine.
35:41It's stupid.
35:43Tell me.
35:47I know I'm only here to fill in for my sister.
35:50I'm only playing the part of...
35:53But some days it feels real.
35:56It does.
35:56It feels real to me too, sometimes.
36:02I barely used to eat in the morning.
36:04You know.
36:06There was no one to share things with.
36:09I had no conversation, no partner.
36:12And now it's...
36:17You.
36:34I'm sorry.
36:35I should have...
36:51See, the trick is to not let any of the ringleaders on the middle floor think they have the upper
36:55hand.
36:56Although in the case of the girl that had the accent, it's the only hand she's got.
37:01What about you, Edwin?
37:03Any thoughts on keeping workers in check?
37:06Truthfully, sir, I'm not sure it's up to us to actually...
37:09I'm afraid we have an idealist on our hands, Sir Vikram.
37:13But...
37:14He's a bright lad.
37:17Well, Edwin, if you are a free thinker, you sound the same as Priya here.
37:21Isn't that right, Priya?
37:23Depends on how free he is and what he thinks about.
37:31It goes without saying, doesn't it, Adam, that anyone who invests in our meal will benefit from the unprecedented profit
37:36margins that we mentioned earlier.
37:40You must be a busy man, Squire Fil.
37:43A sister-in-law never off duty and, I hear, a wife upstairs.
37:47Yes.
37:48Yes.
37:49Uh...
37:50My wife sends her apologies.
37:52She's...
37:53Unwell.
37:56A party?
37:58For little old me?
38:21Well, Olivia, you look charming.
38:27Adele, I wonder to see you up and about.

39:08though admittedly right now I feel a fair bit sillier than you

39:16they'll be around
39:17I don't care about any of them
39:19it is wicked here you're quite right
