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?
06:19Has that a wasp, innit?

09:02well if Sir Vikram's impressed with you it would all have been worthwhile

10:09the morning I left the stable
10:10you must and we never should have
10:11I know, we've resisted for so long, your lips, the taste of your mouth, it's all I can think about.
10:17We can, they catch us.
10:20I don't care, do you?
10:22Yes, you don't have a job to lose.
10:24Emma, this isn't some whim, this is you and me, running, laughing, telling each other everything.
10:32But it's different now, isn't it? Since that case has changed.
10:36How can it not be better?
10:38I know you, Emma. I know you feel it too.
10:42I can't. I don't. I do, I do, of course I do, but I mustn't. I mustn't.
11:01Is something on your mind?
11:05Someone.
11:06Ma'am.
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.
11:27The way they're 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 Fairleigh.
11:38Don't be like me, you hear?
11:40Remember your plan with a capital P.
11:43Get out and get on.
11:47The 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.
12:33We'll finish tomorrow, shall we?
12:36I love her.
12:38She's tired again.
12:40I was thinking, might we find money to at least talk to a doctor.
12:43We want to afford medicine.
12:46Are your mum alright?
12:49She's fine.
12:53You sleep.
13:11Well that's football for you, son.
13:13Tell you now, I don't know how Bradford didn't have got a Catting Hill's chance against Newcastle after that show
13:18at Blackburn.
13:18Blackburn.
13:20Dreadful results, dreadful.
13:22Pam's not burning up as much as I say.
13:24No?
13:26She's a fighter, your mum.
13:27She fights.
13:28Like me.
13:29I can fight.
13:30Can't I, Dad?
13:31Alright, we'll get him here.
13:32He'll be waiting, aren't you, son?
13:33Go on, get him in the belly.
13:35Come on, big man.
13:36Let's see what you've got, son.
13:37Come on, come on, come on, come on!
13:39I hope your dad's getting old, Dad.
13:41Small but powerful.
13:42Look at that.
13:44Hey!
13:47He's had a slice already!
13:49Have a good day, Dad.
13:51It's alright, son.
13:52Yo.
13:53Small, but greedy.
13:55More like.
14:13Just talk so nice.
14:15If they catch her, I can look after myself.
14:23What?
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.
15:06Perhaps 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 mad wife in the attic to behave appropriately.
15:32I should've gone.
15:34I should've gone.
15:37But you wanted to come.
15:39No.
15:45I'm always here.
15:47Squire, Finn.
15:48I watch you from the window, wondering if you'll come.
15:52When you're riding your horses, holding on tight.
15:55No.
16:00Throw me.
16:04Where is Polly?
16:06Running an errand for Master Gerald.
16:09I feel for her.
16:11Never ends well when worlds collide.
16:19Mrs. Fairley's waiting.
16:22Polly's on an errand.
16:24She does realise she's the lady's maid.
16:27She's got responsibilities.
16:30I'll take it.
16:31I'll take it.
16:43I'll take it.
16:51You're not Polly.
16:52I'm Emma, Mrs. Fairley.
16:54Emma Hart.
16:55Well, Emma Hart…
16:57My husband is leaving, but don't worry. He always comes back again.
17:02We're busy downstairs. There's a party this weekend.
17:05I like parties.
17:07Yes, but my mad wife never dares leave her room.
17:10How many years, Adele, since you said foot downstairs?
17:15It's not a big event. It's only family and a few locals.
17:19Are you trying to remove me from this family?
17:21Oh, you removed yourself from this family a long time ago.
17:24Olivia will be there.
17:25A wife's sister isn't a substitute for a wife, Adam.
17:29I only mean that she knows the business, and I think it would be safer.
17:32I can be safe.
17:34I can be charming.
17:36Don't you think, Adam?
17:39Fine.
17:41Is today the day, Adele?
17:44Can you find the courage?
17:53Come down, sirs.
17:57What you need to understand is we work damn hard in this Chandra deal.
18:01We!
18:01There's a lot of clever people there, Adele.
18:03Maybe one of whom is sober and fully dressed.
18:16Why don't you sit down, Mrs. Fairley.
18:18Sit down.
18:20And just breathe.
18:21Slow breathe.
18:24Breathe.
18:51I was just watering.
18:56The plants, obviously.
19:05Have you seen Adele?
19:09How is she?
19:11Almost the same.
19:13Lost.
19:23Do you ever get frightened?
19:26Yes, of course.
19:27You're a woman.
19:30Men get frightened, too.
19:32Oh.
19:33Men are only frightened of boredom and dying.
19:37Neither of those worry me.
19:39What is it, then, Mrs. Fairley?
19:42What scares you?
19:45I'm frightened of disappearing.
19:47Of being forgotten.
19:49Most people just assume you're nobody and then dismiss you.
19:54Do you know that?
19:56Yes, I do.
20:00Every morning, I get dressed.
20:04And I do my hair.
20:06And I have every intention of going down to breakfast.
20:10Or to some fabulous party.
20:12Like when was a girl.
20:14And some days, I try so hard to leave the room.
20:19But it all feels too much.
20:22So, I have to find other ways to get Adam's attention.
20:31Meanwhile, my sister swans around downstairs.
20:34Doing everything I should do.
20:37She seems to find the world easy.
20:41But you're the lady of the house, Mrs. Fairley.
20:43You have such lovely things.
20:45Oh.
20:45Your clothes.
20:46Well, I have marvellous clothes.
20:48And you've got your husband.
20:49And your sons.
20:51My babies.
20:53Well, your sister's got none of those.
20:54So I expect she might be frightened of you.
21:01Oh, is it?
21:07Oh.
21:15Are you a bush?
21:17Well swatted.
21:19Lonely business, being a master of disguise.
21:26How's your plan, Emma?
21:27Still coming on?
21:28Of course.
21:29I'm doing my mending.
21:31If I can make my wages up before shithing's a week, I might be able to get to leave.
21:34Emma?
21:36Emma Hart!
21:37You're a visitor.
21:48Dad says you ought to come.
21:50I am.
21:51I am.
22:02No.
22:02Emma.
22:03You want to wait for me?
22:04I'll just throw you down.
22:05Don't be daft.
22:06We have to both go.
22:07Honest.
22:07I've said goodbye.
22:08You go.
22:10Please.
22:10Please.
22:11Go.
22:12I'm sorry.
22:14I love you.
22:16Go.
22:16Go.
22:18Go.
22:40I'm coming, Mom.
22:42I'm coming.
22:43I'm coming.
22:44I'm coming.
22:56I'm coming.
22:58I'm coming.
23:13I'm coming.
23:15She's not left, love.
23:18Mom.
23:20It's me.
23:20It's Emma.
23:24I waited for you.
23:29I'm scared.
23:32Get out.
23:34Get on, Emma.
23:36You hear me?
23:37Promise me?
23:38Promise me.
23:40Emma, baby.
23:42Is he here?
23:43I'm here.
23:49I'm here.
23:50Now, where is your dad?
23:51I'm here.
23:56I'm here.
23:58It's time.
24:02Dad.
24:04Dad.
24:04Dad.
24:05Dad.
24:05What are you doing?
24:06I don't know.
24:07I've got you in the hole.
24:08Dad.
24:09Oh, no.
24:10What are you doing?
24:12Dad.
24:15Dad.
24:17Mom.
24:18Mommy.
24:20Where are you taking her?
24:21The top of the world.
24:23I know who this world.
24:37No.
24:37No.
24:38No, no, no, no, no.
24:39No.
24:42Dad!
24:42No.
24:43No.
24:43No.
24:44No.
24:45No.
24:45We're going to the supper world.
24:48That's where we've got to be.
25:09I'm so sorry.
25:11I'm so sorry.
25:16I'm so sorry.
25:18I'm really trying for you.
25:25You must laugh.
25:43I'm so sorry.
25:47I'm so sorry.
25:54Oh, you're here, are you?
25:56About time.
25:58No time for moping, in my heart.
26:01Missed half a day yesterday.
26:03We'll be partying tomorrow.
26:09It's a lovely morning out there.
26:12No need for these, I don't think.
26:21You made any progress with your book?
26:28Would you like me to read to you again?
26:30I wouldn't like.
26:32No, not at all.
26:35Right.
26:37I heard there was to be a party.
26:39Oh, Sir Vikram.
26:42He's terribly important, so I suspect desperately boring.
26:48Well, thank you for stepping in.
26:52Well, no, it's not a question of stepping in.
26:55Just while I'm here, for your sake,
27:00I may as well every now and again run my eyes over Adam's business papers.
27:05What else do you run your eye over?
27:09At all.
27:14Olivia, why would any man ever be beguiled by beige
27:19when he has every colour of the rainbow upstairs?
27:25You'll need a rest, I expect.
27:28Then perhaps tomorrow I could read.
27:29Will you read to me?
27:30How wonderful!
27:32You know, you would have made a charming mother, Olivia.
27:49Emma.
27:55I was, um...
28:00I heard about your mother.
28:07I've been thinking, sir.
28:08Might I be considered to look after Mrs...
28:16Might you be considered to what?
28:21I believe, Squire Fairley,
28:23that 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.
28:38I was thinking for, she'll lean tomorrow a week.
28:40I was thinking for...
28:55Um...
28:57I think...
28:58I think...
29:08I might...
29:08I think it's...
29:10When you know loss, Emma, it can suddenly feel like it's all you know, but you know a whole lot,
29:18so that's what you hold on to, do you hear?
29:23Because you're hungry, isn't that right?
29:27And when you've known hunger, 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, having you to show her just how life's done.
30:21Blame me if you like Paul, either if you do I'm sure, but I know you're really disappointed in yourself.
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 prove she weren't after all by dying of being poor!
30:45All alone!
30:48Montzie Officer sloven!
30:48MMMMF!
30:56Enough!
30:57Enough!
31:00Promptinghumanely, dessus celebratory.
31:01Bone of you!
31:02Right, come here.
31:03What have you got to say?
31:05She tied me!
31:06She tied you, a gritar hah!
31:08lot of!
31:08Fetch!
31:08Your!
31:09walls!
31:09No, no, no, no, no, no, Gerald, Gerald, I was running errands for you, wasn't I? Tell him!
31:21I don't know what you're talking about. Good decision, Murgershroyd. We have dogs to do our attacking.
31:35Mothers, come and go. That is how life works, Emma.
31:40And jobs are the same if you're not careful.
31:47We always used to look out for each other. Now we're fighting like animals.
31:53This place is wicked. All the mountains of food going to waste.
31:57And your mother talking about dreams. Do you know what my dad dreams of? Survival.
32:03That my mum might have...
32:08She should have lived.
32:11I'm sorry. I'm so sorry about your mother.
32:15When I grow up, I won't ever be poor. I won't ever want for anything like my mum did every
32:21last second of her life. None of my family will. I promise you that. I promise you.
32:25Emma, you've got me.
32:25My world's not yours. My father breaks his back hauling bricks while your father sits
32:30ordering 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
32:36get right in.
32:40Emma, listen to me. You're talking about other people. Not the two of us.
32:46You and I are just the same. Only one of us has covered an egg.
32:59What's all this, Frank? Eh?
33:05I bumped me head.
33:10My mum always used to kiss it better.
33:14Oh, sure. Where do I keep bloody bumping it?
33:21Because you're a hooligan. And foul mouths too. Come on. I'll cry until the bloody washing
33:29drops down.
33:39This party today. I should go.
33:42Shouldn't I?
33:43I must, but...
33:45Will I survive?
33:48When I'm drinking, I might do anything. Which is, of course, the curse and the bliss of it.
33:53There's your answer. No drinking. Let's get your dress for now, Mrs Fairley. Then see what
33:57comes next.
33:58Is it beautiful enough, do you think?
34:01If I just take these roses off.
34:02Oh, no. You'll ruin it. It'll be dry, won't it?
34:06It won't, Mrs Fairley. It'll be elegant. I can change the neckline, these sleeves, maybe
34:11even a slit in the skirt. Trust me.
34:19I remember having your skin.
34:24Just keep breathing, Mrs Fairley.
34:27And when you're nervous, put your hand on your heart and check it's still there.
34:46You'll go downstairs and look kindly at your sister.
34:49We'll tell your stories and let the whole room admire you.
34:52You can do it, Mrs Fairley. Of course you can.
35:25I'm sorry. May I?
35:32You've been very quiet. How do you do this? About 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. It does.
35:56It feels real to me, too, sometimes.
36:02I barely used to eat in the morning, you know.
36:06There was no one to share things with.
36:09I had no conversation, no partner.
36:12And now it's...
36:17You.
36:32I'm sorry. I should have...
36:51You see, the trick is to not let any of the ringleaders on the mill floor think they have the
36:55upper hand.
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. Isn't that right, Priya?
37:23Depends on how free he is and...
37:25What he thinks about.
37:31It goes without saying, doesn't it, Adam, that anyone who invests in our mill 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?
38:21Oh, Olivia, you look charming.
38:27Adele, I wonder what to see you up and about.
38:33Oh, goodness.
38:35Darling.
38:37What a dress.
38:38You're a picture.
38:41It's a big room.
38:43This is my wife.
38:44I didn't know who my wife was, isn't it?
38:57Yeah, I'm not.
38:57I'm not.
38:59I'm not.
39:00I'm not.
39:01I'm not.
39:04I'm not.
39:07I'm not.
39:08Right now I feel a fair bit sillier than you.
39:11It's quite sharper in the back of the night.
39:13It's a shell and so on.
39:14You're supposed to be impressing them inside.
39:17They'll be around.
39:17I don't care about any of them.
39:19It is wicked here, you're quite right.
39:22It's unbearable.
39:27So it's neither of us bear it.
39:43Emma!
39:46Come on!
39:58You're beautiful.
40:00You're beautiful.
40:01I'm covered in egg.
40:25You're getting it everywhere.
40:29I'll be such a row if I'm not back.
40:32Do you want to go back?
40:48You're all wet.
40:50You're not cold.
40:58You're cold.
41:13What is it?
41:15Rings.
41:19Who's there?
41:24I'd never hurt you.
41:26Emma.
41:28But we mustn't.
42:11I love you, Emma.
42:14I love you my whole life.
42:15I love you.
42:21I love you.
42:25I love you, Emma.
42:29You're the one that's big.
42:30Who's there?
42:31I love you.
42:35I'm just drinking.
