00:05So, Mary Hardacre has organized classes to help the local illiterates.
00:13You must invite her over.
00:15Why?
00:16We must offer our support, include a donation, and extend the invitation to the uncouth mother.
00:29Well, I hope this works.
00:31Well, you've dropped enough money after it.
00:33I'm in the misery, you.
00:34Get your feet off the desk.
00:35I'll put out the slates.
00:37Oh, Mrs Harris.
00:39Nice to see you again.
00:40Mrs Hardacre.
00:42This is my daughter-in-law, Mrs Elizabeth Hardacre.
00:45She's going to be helping us.
00:47And this is me mother.
00:56These desks ought to be six inches further apart.
01:00To dissuade from fraternizing.
01:02I'll take those.
01:04I like to look my students in the eye as I hand them out.
01:07Communicates that I am in control.
01:11The floor clean and swept.
01:13Yes, Mrs Weasley.
01:14Old furniture.
01:15Where to, Mrs Dryden?
01:17The bonfire.
01:18Leave it out the back.
01:19Very swiftly, please.
01:21Master Harry's tutor is expected at any time.
01:25I have all those wretched things.
01:28I wasn't aware there was an alphabet board in the house.
01:31What's that, Mrs Dryden?
01:33A ridiculous apparatus.
01:35Used by misguided people under the illusion that one can contact the spirits through it.
01:41Really?
01:42Make sure that's first on the bonfire.
01:45Yes, Mrs Dryden.
02:05Right, Harry, Mr Lewis is downstairs.
02:08I never asked for this.
02:10No, you didn't.
02:12But it is what you need.
02:14If you won't go back to school, a tutor is the best way to keep studying.
02:17I just want to forget about university.
02:20It's never going to happen.
02:22Harry, look at us.
02:24Remember where we came from.
02:25Now you have a chance to go to university.
02:28But you've got to bring something to the table.
02:31Just do your best.
02:33That's all I'm asking.
02:46Mr Lewis.
02:47Sir?
02:48This way, Mr Parker.
02:49Mr Hardacre is expecting you.
02:51Mr Lewis is admiring the artwork.
02:59So sorry.
03:00I glimpsed the pastoral on the wall and just had to investigate.
03:05Thought it might be a Gainsborough.
03:07Right.
03:08I'm Arthur Lewis.
03:10And I suspect you must be Master Hardacre.
03:12A fairy.
03:14Of course.
03:14You'll find enough name on its own.
03:16Your Mr Beasley is going to show me to my room.
03:19Let us reconvene in one hour to begin our lessons.
03:24This way, Mr Lewis.
03:35Come on then, you lot. Take a seat.
03:37And make sure you listen to what Mrs Iris tells you.
03:40Thanks for spreading the word, Franny.
03:41It's not a bad turnout considering.
03:44Aye.
03:44You're a diamond.
03:46Take your seats.
03:57I am Mrs Harris.
04:00Many of you might prefer not to be here.
04:03Most of you will struggle.
04:05It's not my concern why you failed to complete your education the first time round.
04:10But you're here now.
04:11So you will listen to me, you will work hard, and you will benefit from my expertise.
04:17Reading, writing your names.
04:20You will remember this day as the first day of your new lives.
04:44You will remember this day as the first day of your new lives.
04:50The first season.
04:50It's not the seventies.
04:52No.
04:53It just doesn't cut it.
04:55For autumn parties or a shoot.
04:57And those are the best opportunities to find a suitor.
05:01Now try on another.
05:04Oh my goodness.
05:06I'm so sorry.
05:07I promised Liza I'd call on her.
05:09I believe securing a suitor is rather more important.
05:11And I shall return, Mama.
05:13But I told her I would take her a selection of my Jane Austen books.
05:16Go ahead, my dear.
05:18We'll reconvene tomorrow.
05:25You sound like a steam engine.
05:27I thought it was great that we were united against the influence of their family.
05:31With young friendships being so volatile,
05:34we are giving Adela time to draw her own conclusions about low heart acus.
05:43And, rest assured, they will manifest.
05:56Why must finding her husband be so exhausting?
05:59I used to read Jane Austen for pleasure.
06:01Now I'm living the life of one of her heroines.
06:04Without, it seems, the final chapter.
06:07Eh?
06:08A happy ending, Liza.
06:10The handsome, raffish landowner on 5,000 year who carries me off into the sunset.
06:17What's a busy day?
06:19I'm deadly serious.
06:21Grandmama would have me parading in new gowns in Mayfair.
06:24And Mama's making me feel I might be a spinster forever.
06:27What?
06:28I'd rather be a spinster than have to deal with fortune unto showing up after me money.
06:33Never wish to be a spinster, Liza.
06:35We must continue to hope that true love is out there.
06:40Maybe we could find out what's gonna happen.
06:44If we ask the spirits.
07:06It's a great job, Joe.
07:08Just wanted to make it a bit special.
07:09All that you have.
07:12Number's in tomorrow?
07:13Aye.
07:13First reach to edit.
07:15What do you think, Hal?
07:17I think Joe's done very well.
07:19I will say, at the end of a day's trading, I'd like to see less on the shelves, but across
07:25all the shops we've refurbished, trade seems reasonable.
07:28Let's do a good ensemble.
07:31Slowly and surely, young man.
07:34Again.
07:36Again.
07:37Sweep up, straight down, circle back.
07:40Again.
07:41Sweep up, straight down, circle back.
07:44Sweep up, and sweep down.
07:47Circle back, sweep up, straight down.
07:52A, B, sweep up, straight down, circle back.
07:57Again.
07:59Again.
08:01Try your other hand.
08:03Try your other hand, please.
08:05It can't get worse.
08:13I can't believe you've done this before.
08:17So the class just moves on its own.
08:20That is so creepy.
08:22The Americans call it a Ouija board.
08:25One of my friends from school was obsessed with seances.
08:28But I always found it a total bore.
08:30Usually nothing happens other than...
08:34A load of overexcited girls scaring themselves soon.
08:38I still wouldn't mind trying.
08:41Well, we'd need another person.
08:46A note for you, Miss Liza.
08:49On behalf of a Captain Edward Blackwood.
09:07Who is this Captain Blackwood?
09:10It's an officer me and Betsy met last week in the Lucky Sailor.
09:14There's been a misunderstanding.
09:15He thinks I've dropped something and he's going to come and return it tomorrow.
09:18It all seems like a lot of fuss to me.
09:24Indeed.
09:30Excellent.
09:35So, these are your texts.
09:41You're quite a naturalist.
09:43This is what I've been studying.
09:46Ferbs, eh?
09:49Debemus laborare ad asequendum ambitianum nostrum.
09:54We must work hard to achieve our ambition.
09:58Benefactum.
09:59How is your Greek?
10:01Not that good.
10:09I don't understand.
10:11No matter. We will come back to Greek.
10:14Shall we begin with some Latin darts?
10:16Fine.
10:23We've a lot more letters to get through, so please focus.
10:28Otherwise, we'll be here till Christmas.
10:30Again.
10:31Again.
10:33Sweep up, straight down, circle back.
10:36Again.
10:38You're not listening to my instructions.
10:40I'm only asking of you what is asked of any five-year-old.
10:43Look at this.
10:45No, no, no.
10:47Please give it a chance.
10:48Don't leave.
10:48Look.
10:49I know it's not easy.
10:51Come on.
10:51You're here now, lad.
10:53No, no, no.
10:54Come on.
10:55You know you can do it.
10:56Give a go.
10:56Sit down.
10:56The sooner you accept that this is my classroom, not yours, the quicker you may actually learn something.
11:17I mean, I was practically begging him to stay.
11:20And that Mrs. Harris was walking behind me and barking orders at him.
11:24You never thought it was gonna be easy, did you?
11:28Well, you look exhausted.
11:29Was that me, tossing and turning?
11:32Maybe.
11:33I just can't get over what a struggle it was.
11:36I mean, she didn't make it easy for him, but I thought they could stick it out.
11:38Well, they just don't know what they have yet.
11:41You've gotta give it time.
11:43You're right.
11:45Having bigger fights.
11:47Don't I know it?
11:49Just gotta have a little patience.
11:52You do know that word, don't you?
11:54Patience.
11:54It's P-A-T.
11:56Give over.
12:03Good morning, Adela.
12:05Good morning.
12:06Grandmaman.
12:07Would you know of a Captain Edward Blackwood?
12:09He's calling on Liza today.
12:11Blackwood?
12:13Well, that can only be the Blackwoods of Suffolk.
12:17Of course, the Baron of Felixstowe.
12:20Calling on Liza Hardick.
12:21He merely wishes to return something she dropped in town.
12:25A gentleman from a moneyed family of good standing.
12:30Perhaps you should be there when he does.
12:34Wouldn't that be rather crass?
12:36Also, I believe she rather likes him.
12:39I thought you said that she had several suitors and dismissed them all.
12:43Why should this be any different?
12:45And you are much more suited to a Baron, Eadella.
12:49What harm is there to meet a suitable prospect
12:53when no other intention has been declared?
12:58Which is it?
12:59I mean, this isn't sustainable for...
13:05What's the word you?
13:09Callum has the figures for the first week's trade.
13:11They're a little concerning, Joe.
13:13Right.
13:14Well, his first week.
13:15Yes, but it's smart to get ahead.
13:18So Callum and I were talking...
13:19Without me?
13:21About our business.
13:23I think you need to put less fresh goods out.
13:25It looks better when the shop's stacked.
13:27Looks like we're thriving.
13:29Yes, but it doesn't matter if we're not selling.
13:31Doing this is a stretch in the family finances.
13:33We're taking a risk.
13:33Joe, I think your ideas are good.
13:35But the problem is overstocking and wastage.
13:38Dad, you signed off on this.
13:40I know I did, but...
13:42I need to see that you understand the numbers.
13:44Why are things not selling?
13:46What's causing the biggest loss?
13:47Is that fair enough?
13:50Yeah.
13:57Hi, Miss Liza.
13:58All right, Callum.
13:59I think we should go for this.
14:00Oh, we need to go to Mrs Dryden.
14:02Liza?
14:03Who's this Captain Blackwood who's visiting today?
14:05Mrs Dryden seems concerned he didn't contact your father first.
14:08Well, he's not a gentleman caller.
14:10Me and Betsy were in a Lucky Sailor and we just went in for a chat.
14:14And then a couple of drunks thought we were a bit full of ourselves because we dared turn them down.
14:18So Captain Blackwood stepped in to make sure they got the message.
14:21Ignoring the fact that you went to the Lucky Sailor without telling us.
14:24What's this young man coming here for?
14:26Because apparently I've dropped something and he's bringing it back.
14:29He's just been a gentleman.
14:31But he's not a caller.
14:33No.
14:34I mean, I must say your hair's looking especially nice today.
14:37Don't forget a chaperone.
14:39No.
14:52No.
15:02Say a few minutes later, I'm not too excited.
15:04Oh!
15:12Hi.
15:13She cracked the code.
15:15Yes.
15:15Make me in the garden.
15:17What did you want me out here for?
15:19Your Mr. Lewis came to say hello.
15:21Turns out he's all right.
15:22We don't thrive in dark rooms with old textbooks, Harry.
15:26We need fresh air as well.
15:27So, you understood the written Greek.
15:29Shall we practice some spoken?
15:32Rhubarb, from the Latin rhubarbarum, and the Greek rhababaron,
15:37although the original derivation might be from the Persian rum.
15:40Rhabarabar what?
15:42Rhababaron, Grandma.
15:43Well, how do you know how they pronounced it?
15:45Scholarly research, my dear.
15:46Your grandmother does make a very good point.
15:49We have no evidence of how the Greeks spoke.
15:51And I was just saying to Harry how little it matters how we sound
15:53as long as we are attempting the language.
15:56Well, I wouldn't normally argue with him.
15:58He's always been the smartest person in the room.
16:00I don't doubt it.
16:02Well, maybe we should continue our studies in the rest of the garden?
16:06It's been a pleasure to meet you both.
16:08Harry, shall we?
16:15Are you all right?
16:17What are you doing, Norm?
16:20I just needed time to think.
16:23Last week's takings were bad.
16:26And my dad wants me to figure out every last reason why.
16:29He thinks I don't understand business.
16:33I'm sorry, love.
16:35It's only been a week.
16:38I just need this to go smoothly.
16:40He wants you to turn around to him and say,
16:42look how good I've done.
16:44Nothing would make him happier.
16:46So do your best and it'll happen.
16:51Mmm.
16:52He's from the Fritz Erpitz
16:54with a £10 donation for the class.
16:58And an invitation for tea with all them posh cakes that you like.
17:02Well, I suppose I could come along.
17:04Rich, folky.
17:06I was desperate to spend the money on something.
17:08It's called charity, man.
17:09We've had our fair share.
17:10Well, it's not always welcome, though, is it?
17:12What?
17:12Maggie told me what happened yesterday.
17:14Two lads walked out.
17:15Yeah, and eleven of them stay put.
17:17Yeah, but they're not happy, though, are they?
17:18Maggie said that Franny's going to give it one more go
17:20and then she's going to be moving on.
17:22Are you kidding?
17:22You need to have a word with that posh teacher of yours
17:24because if you lose someone like Franny,
17:26you might just lose the lot.
17:32Then.
17:34Borea.
17:36Just form the sound.
17:38I don't know how to.
17:40You recognise the word, just try.
17:43There's no point.
17:44Harry, it is entirely normal to be frustrated by a perceived lack of progress.
17:49I'm never going to make any progress.
17:51All this stuff, it sounds right coming out of your mouth.
17:55I just sound like an idiot.
17:56I've been told.
17:58By whom?
18:01Can we just get on with the lesson?
18:05You have every right to pursue an education.
18:08You are bright and have the potential to achieve.
18:11Look, I've said I don't want to talk about it.
18:14I don't want to do any of this.
18:17So can we just get on with the lesson so I can go?
18:19I am concerned that your previous experience has affected your confidence this month.
18:24I've said I don't want to talk about it.
18:35Let's take a break.
18:48Mrs. Harris, it just seems that quite a few of the students weren't happy with the class.
18:54I imagine their previous teachers enjoyed the same reaction.
18:57I will do my job.
18:58They will succeed or they will fail.
19:00Harry could be a little bit more supportive.
19:02Writing letters over and over again isn't what they were expecting.
19:07Mrs. Hardacre, I teach students with no formal education.
19:11It is my job to remedy their failings slowly and methodically.
19:15Full stop.
19:16I do not have time for tantrums.
19:18Yeah, but they're tired.
19:19They've been working 12 hours on the docks.
19:22Maybe if you just consider working different...
19:25My method has worked for 20 years, Mrs. Hardacre.
19:27And with all due respect, you're not a teacher.
19:29Just because you rose above the environment that they inhabit,
19:32does not mean you can tell me how to do my job.
19:34Yeah, well, I feel like I need to.
19:35When the dignity is at stake,
19:37I do not have time to concern myself with such things.
19:40Then I'm sorry.
19:42You're no use to me.
19:44I beg your pardon?
19:45I am afraid, Mrs. Harris.
19:47You have just lost your position.
20:10What are you doing here?
20:12I was remiss.
20:13No, Austin collection is complete without sense and sensibility.
20:17Oh, well, thanks.
20:19Have you been trying on make-up?
20:22Miss Liza, Captain Blackwood has arrived and he's waiting for you in the drawing room.
20:26He's quite charming, isn't he?
20:35Since you're here, you can be chaperone.
20:38Not that we need one.
20:47Captain Blackwood?
20:51Miss Liza, I must return this.
21:09Oh, that isn't mine.
21:11Oh, my goodness.
21:12Mary?
21:16My apologies.
21:18Although at least I've had the opportunity to renew our acquaintance.
21:23I leave you till afternoon.
21:25Oh, well, you're here now.
21:27Could we offer you some refreshments?
21:29What a very generous offer.
21:31I accept.
21:37It's a privilege, though, isn't it?
21:39To be able to help people the way that teachers do.
21:40You know, give them a chance to get off the docks and build something up for themselves.
21:47Well, you are changing society.
21:49That's very kind.
21:51But, unfortunately, the whole thing has fallen at the first hurdle.
21:55No, she fired the teacher.
21:57Might be an idea to find someone they actually want to listen to next time.
22:00Oh, it's that easy, is it?
22:01How unfortunate.
22:03Yes, so I should go and find a suitable replacement for tomorrow.
22:07But I really appreciate your support, and your donation was so generous.
22:13Not at all.
22:14But you must stay, my dear.
22:18You're a keen card player.
22:20Oh, is she ever?
22:22Aye.
22:23You stay.
22:25Cards, is it?
22:26All right, then, I will.
22:32And where are you staying?
22:33On my uncle's estate.
22:35Morley in a rather...
22:37tumble-down guest cottage.
22:39Doesn't he want you in the house?
22:41It's probably for the best.
22:42He's been unwell, and everyone's upsetting him.
22:44Oh, there's nothing worse than feeling below par and company.
22:48Indeed.
22:48Also, he keeps seven cats, and I'm rather more fond of him than them.
22:53To be honest, though, my regimental living quarters have conditioned me to profess simpler accommodation.
23:00I feel like we're so lucky to live here now, but there was something so nice about the house we
23:05used to live in.
23:06I knew where everything was.
23:07Money isn't everything, Miss Hardick.
23:09It's true.
23:11There's a lot to be said for simple living.
23:19Oh, gosh, how clumsy of me.
23:22Oh, is it on your dress?
23:23Let me get Maggie in.
23:24No, no, no, I will attend to it myself.
23:25You two must continue without me.
23:32Beasley.
23:33Miss Adela.
23:39My apologies, Miss Adela.
23:41Lamplight may be all the rage, but when these wretched plugs are loose, they seem to be possessed.
23:52May I help you, Miss?
23:54I spilt lemonade on my dress, Mrs. Ryden.
23:58Come with me.
23:59We will find a cloth and some tepid water.
24:09And don't forget to keep counting.
24:12That's bridge.
24:13When you said cards, I thought you meant we were going to play poker.
24:16This is foolish.
24:17It's far too complex for a guest to take in.
24:19Hey, I'll get it soon enough.
24:22I'm delighted by your confidence.
24:25George will be joining us soon, and you and I can play as partners.
24:29We'll put your newfound skills to the test.
24:36Oh, India's extraordinary.
24:38Have you been?
24:39I haven't left Yorkshire, but I have heard they've got quite big cats over there, so I bet your uncle
24:43approves.
24:44He spent many years there.
24:45You should try SMT.
24:47It's more robust than Salon, but I think you'll like it.
24:48Oh, I do love tea.
24:49Like it's in your package.
24:51Or better still, you could come and visit me at Morley.
24:55Oh, well, thank you.
24:56Either.
24:57It won't be lovely.
24:58Not at all.
24:59And now, as much as it pains me, I must leave you.
25:06Actually, rather than come all that way for tea, and this may be very, very forward, but I wonder if
25:11you'd like to join on a grouse shoot on my uncle's estate.
25:16Grouse shoot?
25:16Yes.
25:17A small group of friends will be gathering next week.
25:19All good sports.
25:20And your brothers are most welcome to join him.
25:22With your father's permission, of course.
25:24Oh.
25:29Please do consider my offer, Miss Hardaker.
25:32Thank you for coming over.
25:38Miss Fitzherald.
25:39Oh, goodbye, Captain Blackwood.
25:47Follow me, sir.
25:50What offer?
25:51He has me on a grouse shoot.
25:53Is that so?
25:55Well, how delightful.
25:58I thought you would be happier.
26:01Oh, he is very nice.
26:04Grandmama said he's from a well-moneyed family.
26:08What are you doing asking your grandmother about Captain Blackwood?
26:12Who else would know better if he was a good stock?
26:15I was asking for you.
26:17The important thing is he's not a Fortunander.
26:21He's a first-rate prospect.
26:26Well, I suppose I might give him a chance, then.
26:31If you're really unsure about this Captain Blackwood,
26:36what about asking those spirits?
26:48Am I disturbing you?
26:50Oh, Mr. Lewis, no.
26:52No, not at all.
26:53Come in.
26:54I hope you're settling in.
26:56How's Harry doing?
26:57Yes, that's what I wish to discuss.
27:04Harry...
27:06He's a bright young man.
27:08His Latin is very part of all,
27:12but Greek is a challenge.
27:14No, but that's something you can help him with.
27:16I fear he may not be ready to accept help from anyone.
27:20At least you're not giving up on him, are you?
27:22I don't want to.
27:24I want what is best for Harry.
27:27But it seems he doubts himself severely,
27:30and it will affect his learning.
27:32I'm sorry, but I thought you should know.
27:36Ah, yes.
27:37I'll talk to him.
27:39Please give me time.
27:41I don't think I can handle losing two teachers in one day.
27:44Oh, I, um, I set up a literacy class,
27:46and the teacher treated grown men and women
27:48like they were five-year-olds.
27:50And they hated it.
27:51I can't learn like that.
27:53Well, as with Harry,
27:54it may be a matter of finding the right person to reach them.
27:56Well, that's what I'm working on here.
28:00Oh, Mrs. Hardacre.
28:02Hmm?
28:03Perhaps model the teacher you seek for your class on whoever taught you.
28:07Yeah.
28:18And there we are.
28:19Oh, don't be downhearted, my dear.
28:22Look, I'm just getting the hang of it.
28:24Oh, dear, look out, everyone.
28:25You really are improving.
28:28Reminds me of Hearts.
28:29You know Hearts?
28:30You know that game?
28:30Yeah.
28:31Oh, it's a cracking game with a little wager on the side, eh?
28:34Always makes things a little more interesting.
28:37The way you've taken to it,
28:38the next game will be ours.
28:42All right.
28:49Thank you for joining us, Maggie.
28:52Don't say thank you, Miss Adela.
28:54I'm not happy to be here.
28:56I don't want to get haunted.
28:58I've tried to tell her it's not like that.
29:00Maggie, try to think of it like a telegraph.
29:02If we're very lucky,
29:03we'll receive messages in our world
29:05with spirits and theirs.
29:08All right, Miss Adela.
29:10If you say so.
29:13But remember,
29:15not a word to anyone.
29:46We'll see you next time.
29:48Well, I think you'll find that's the game.
29:51That's right, isn't it?
29:52I say.
29:53Very well done.
29:54Thanks, Georgie boy.
29:56I don't know why you didn't tell me about this before.
29:57Yes, my dear.
29:58Congratulations.
29:59Rather careless, darling.
30:01But fair is fair.
30:02The game goes on.
30:03I have to say,
30:04I've never seen Ridge picked up so quickly.
30:08No.
30:08Cheers.
30:09Cheers.
30:10Cheers.
30:12Is anybody there?
30:15Spirits.
30:17We call upon you
30:19to show yourselves
30:20and reveal the truths we seek.
30:26How long does it usually take?
30:28Shh.
30:30Maggie,
30:31you try.
30:31Other voices can summon them.
30:34Is anybody there?
30:38No!
30:41Ask,
30:42are you with us?
30:43I'm with you.
30:45Come on, Maggie.
30:53Are you with us?
31:00Spirits,
31:01will you communicate the truth to us tonight?
31:10Do you want me to move that?
31:14Spirits,
31:15should we be afraid?
31:19Oh, I don't think I like it, actually, Adela.
31:24Liza,
31:25ask your question.
31:28Come on,
31:29don't be such a mouse.
31:32All right.
31:33All right.
31:38Spirits,
31:40will I find happiness?
31:48Spirits,
31:50will I get married?
31:59Spirits,
32:01will I have a future with Captain Blackwood?
32:09Well,
32:09well,
32:10maybe I just weren't clear enough.
32:13Spirits,
32:14can you hear me?
32:19Spirits!
32:20I thought the room was empty.
32:24What on earth is going on?
32:26What are you doing with that thing?
32:29Maggie!
32:30Don't blame me, Mrs. Dryden.
32:31I told her she had to join in.
32:33And why is this lamp here?
32:35It's a danger.
32:36It's got a loose connection.
32:38Miss Adela,
32:39we spoke about this today.
32:41I would suggest
32:43that all of you
32:44go to bed immediately.
32:47Consider yourselves lucky
32:48I'm not telling Mrs. Hardacre.
32:51Maggie!
32:59You've tried to trick me with that lamp.
33:02And I suppose it were you
33:03pushing the glass as well.
33:05I'm sorry if you're upset,
33:06but it was just
33:07a little bit of fun.
33:08Yeah, for you?
33:09Don't be like that.
33:13I'm tired.
33:14I'm going to bed.
33:17Your mother will probably
33:17want you back first thing,
33:19so
33:20I'll say goodbye now.
33:23Bye.
33:25Bye.
33:27Bye.
33:44What is it, child?
33:47Absolutely nothing will be happening
33:48between Captain Blackwood
33:49and myself.
33:50As it seems,
33:51Liza liked him far more
33:53than she said.
33:53I see.
33:56And I fear I may have
33:57behaved rather pettily
33:58on discovering this.
34:01Did Liza not
34:03deceive you
34:04about her true intentions?
34:07She let you believe
34:09she didn't like him.
34:11Is that how
34:13a real friend behaves?
34:16Perhaps not.
34:26Hard-acre grandmother
34:27is keen to join
34:28our bridge for again.
34:30A very encouraging
34:33insufferable.
34:34This is a pointless
34:35exercise, Mama.
34:37No, Emma.
34:38Useful.
34:41Entirely useful.
34:48Still trying to
34:49replace that old hag.
34:51Do you have any idea
34:52how much these
34:53classes mean to me?
34:54You know,
34:55apart from the odd lesson
34:56at the workhouse,
34:57I practically taught myself.
34:59I used things
35:00that interested me.
35:01That's how people learn,
35:02and I need someone
35:02who understands that.
35:04Mr Lewis isn't here.
35:06I looked round the house,
35:07I knocked on his door,
35:08but he didn't answer.
35:09Well, maybe he's left.
35:10He didn't exactly
35:11make him feel welcome.
35:13So he told you
35:13about it yesterday.
35:15All I heard was
35:16you weren't happy
35:17and maybe you're not ready.
35:19Oh, for God's sake.
35:20I don't like teachers much,
35:22but I know that
35:23that Mr Lewis is a good one,
35:24so if you've chucked
35:25your chance away,
35:25you're an idiot.
35:27And as for you,
35:28you know how you can
35:29make them classes work
35:30if you just open
35:31your bloody eyes.
35:33Clever fools,
35:34the pair of you.
35:40You can see,
35:41Dad, long term,
35:41he's looking good.
35:44Sorry, son,
35:44we've run out of time.
35:45You're going to have
35:45to cut back on first project.
35:47It's been one week.
35:48I need you to consider
35:49other ideas.
35:51You don't trust me.
35:52Would you swallow
35:52your damn pride
35:53and take good advice
35:54when it's being offered
35:54to you?
35:55The stakes are too high.
36:02We're in a recession, son.
36:03If we don't make a profit,
36:04how can we help people?
36:05That was the whole point
36:06of doing this.
36:07I'll see if we can
36:08go back on the fresh produce.
36:09But, Dad,
36:11go home and get some rest.
36:12You look exhausted.
36:14Don't worry about me.
36:30So sorry.
36:32I borrowed a bicycle
36:34to collect a textbook
36:34from town
36:35and suffered
36:35a wretched flat tire.
36:38Don't worry about it.
36:43Harry,
36:43I'm here
36:44for as long
36:44as you need me.
36:48Right.
36:49Latin.
37:04Hello, everyone.
37:12And thank you.
37:14Thank you for coming back.
37:17Look, I don't blame you
37:18for being unhappy.
37:21So I've made a change.
37:24No more Mrs Harris.
37:28I'm going to be your teacher.
37:30I'm sorry, Mera,
37:31but, I mean,
37:32what are you going to do
37:33that's any different?
37:34We're going to try something.
37:39Pass these back.
37:41There's yours.
37:43There's yours.
37:46These lessons
37:47have got to be part
37:49of your lives.
37:51Whether that's
37:52reading a sign
37:53or a newspaper
37:54or reading a story.
37:57Reading your rent book.
37:59Yeah?
37:59Signing your name
38:00or your husband's.
38:05Now, in a few months' time,
38:06I don't want any of these
38:08to be out of your reach
38:09anymore.
38:10Shall we do some work?
38:12Yeah?
38:18I, uh...
38:20I was bullied.
38:35All last year.
38:37Then this new teacher
38:40showed up.
38:41Talk Greek.
38:42Strict.
38:44I thought they wouldn't
38:45get away with it
38:46anymore, but...
38:49He just joined in.
38:51He hated me
38:53for being there.
38:57Picked on me
38:58for all the hard questions
38:59just so him
38:59could get it wrong.
39:01He told me
39:02I wasn't good enough.
39:05And I realised
39:06he was right.
39:08So I left.
39:12I'm very sorry,
39:14Mary.
39:23You have
39:24nothing
39:25to be ashamed of.
39:28It's disgraceful
39:30that they could
39:30treat you this way.
39:32Sorry for what I said.
39:34For getting angry.
39:37There's nothing wrong
39:38with showing
39:38a little passion.
39:42Could tell us
39:42we'd approve.
39:46Do you really think
39:47I stand a chance
39:48of getting into Oxford?
39:50With hard work?
39:51I very much do.
39:55So I'll be seeing you
39:56next week.
39:56Yes.
39:57And you.
39:58Of course.
39:58Don't be late.
39:59That were great.
40:01Why didn't you do this
40:02before?
40:03You're worse
40:04to be enriching.
40:05I just hope
40:06they know
40:06what it can do
40:07for them
40:07if they stick at it.
40:09You know,
40:09there was supposed
40:10to be more
40:11kids to look after.
40:12And what about you?
40:13You coming back?
40:14Well, depends.
40:15On?
40:16Slice of cake
40:16might convince me.
40:19I'll see what
40:19I can do, love.
40:35Excellent.
40:36I believe poetry
40:37should always be delivered
40:38standing up.
40:39A very fine way
40:40to end our day.
40:51What the hell's wrong
40:52with you?
40:53Why don't you just
40:54go to bed, Dad?
40:55I'm just feeling a little
40:56under the weather, Matt.
40:57He's exhausted.
40:58He didn't even touch
40:59his supper.
41:00Evening.
41:01Why are you so chirpy?
41:04Well,
41:04Mr Lewis said
41:05the next tutor I get
41:06ought to be like
41:07the person who taught me.
41:08So,
41:09I thought
41:09I practically taught myself.
41:12So,
41:13I took the class.
41:15Bloody hell.
41:16I've been waiting on you
41:17to actually do something
41:18rather than paying staff
41:18to do it for you.
41:20Less Lady Bloody Hardacre
41:21and more Mary.
41:22Yeah, Ma.
41:23I was bloody terrified.
41:25Oh, Mum,
41:25I'm so happy for you.
41:27I'm proud of you, Mum.
41:28Oh, thank you.
41:29Yes.
41:30Well done, love.
41:33Are you all right?
41:35What's wrong with you?
41:38Sam?
41:41Dad?
41:43I don't die.
41:45I don't...
41:48Sam!
