00:00FUN!
00:37Er, lower those up on the cart for me, please.
00:40Ma'am, you know I'm not one to complain.
00:43But we only have two days to organise this Harvest Festival.
00:46And we're stretched thin as it is.
00:47Mrs Dryden, I promised the vicar I'd help.
00:50And Liza needs a distraction after that idiot Blackwood broke her hat.
00:55No, no, no, this is wrong.
00:57Maybe we'll use those apples for bobbing,
00:59and then dress it with some decorations and make it look odd.
01:02Liza, I wouldn't worry too much how it all looks.
01:05Let's just focus on the big picture.
01:06We've got to get the village hall ready for tomorrow.
01:08We've got the stage for the performers,
01:10we've got the tables for the tasting competition.
01:11Did you find any volunteers for the portrait reading?
01:17Erm...
01:17What about a judge for the tasting competition?
01:20Oh, not yet. Liza.
01:21Liza, I know you're upset.
01:24Oh, Mum, I'm fine.
01:26Right.
01:27Right.
01:28Not to worry.
01:30We'll, erm...
01:31We'll have our own students read.
01:34Maggie.
01:35Maggie, please.
01:37Please, look, it'll be good for the school.
01:39It'll be good for you.
01:40Imagine if you were to run a house one day.
01:42A lot more than running a house than reading.
01:47All right.
01:49I'll do it.
01:50Excellent.
01:51And ask the others tonight.
01:52Oh, and Mr Beasley, would you mind being the judge of the tasting competition?
01:57A conflict of interest, I'm afraid.
01:59Mum, my elderflower cordial's won four years in a row and...
02:03I'm going for five.
02:05Thanks.
02:05Well, Mrs Dryden then.
02:07Well, aren't you stretched too thin?
02:11Well, in the community spirit, I would be happy to assist with the judging.
02:17Well, there we go.
02:19We'll pull the whole thing off without a hitch.
02:24Cheers.
02:25Oh.
02:31Oof.
02:34It's tart.
02:35I know.
02:37Yes.
02:37But people do like a stiff drink.
02:39It's rhubarb cordial, Georgie.
02:41It's not gin.
02:43Yes, you're right.
02:44Well, I thought maybe I could enter it into the Harvest Festival competition.
02:48There I go again.
02:49Another ridiculous thing.
02:50Good idea.
02:51That's enough of that.
02:52It...
02:53It's almost there.
02:54It just needs a bit more...
02:56sugar.
02:57You think it's him with a chance?
02:59You'll knock their socks off.
03:01I agree.
03:02Nothing ventured, eh?
03:05Yes.
03:06Now, to find some sugar.
03:10Ah!
03:11I was hoping to see you before you left.
03:14I fear I am facing a bit of a social calamity.
03:18Right.
03:20You've heard of the Devon sisters, I presume.
03:26Obscenely wealthy, renowned card players.
03:29Not a clue.
03:29Were they from around here?
03:30Oh, no.
03:31They're passing through Yorkshire.
03:33And demanding a bridge game, no less.
03:36I thought of asking Emma, but...
03:39Poor Mesh.
03:41You'll have to repeat that, love.
03:43Poor Mesh.
03:45It's a term one uses when bridge partners can't communicate.
03:50Oh, well, I haven't suffered from that myself.
03:52I have come so close to beating those women multiple times.
03:57And with the right partner, I know I could win.
04:01Now, you and I, there's a pair.
04:05Well, how did they beat you before?
04:07Oh, they upped the bids at the last minute, pricing everyone out.
04:11Oh, crafty buggers.
04:12Well, they couldn't pull that with you.
04:14Well, there's nothing I love more than parting rich folk from the money, but...
04:18A game like that.
04:19This is my reputation.
04:21I wouldn't ask if I didn't think we could win.
04:27All right.
04:28I'll have to look into this Mesh thing, but...
04:31Go on then.
04:32Consider us a team.
04:34Oh!
04:35Bravo!
04:36Hello!
04:50Wait, what's all this secrecy for?
04:52No surprise, we are...
04:55It's, uh...
05:07A canning machine?
05:08Yeah.
05:09We've had problems moving some of the stock, and...
05:12This is guaranteed to prolong his life.
05:16Right.
05:16What is it?
05:19It's not here yet.
05:21It was to be delivered at 10, no?
05:24It'll be late.
05:26Well, it'll be here any minute, so...
05:30Well, let's hope so.
05:39Darling, we missed you at lunch.
05:43What's the matter?
05:45What was that?
05:50I took something I shouldn't have.
05:52It was a letter from one of the Hard Acres.
05:55Harry.
05:58Did you read it?
05:59No, I promise I didn't.
06:06Well, this can easily be fixed.
06:10Letters go missing.
06:11And the sender simply writes it again if they need.
06:16Should I not try to return it?
06:19Perhaps.
06:20But can you imagine if you're caught?
06:22Can you explain your actions?
06:25No, the best thing for you and the Hard Acres is to destroy it.
06:46There.
06:48Our little secret.
06:51Secret.
07:16Have I lost you, Harry?
07:21You seem distracted today.
07:23I'd like the letter back.
07:25What letter?
07:27The letter.
07:31Didn't you get it?
07:32What was in it?
07:34You didn't.
07:36Really?
07:38It was a new reading list I'd been working on.
07:42I got excited.
07:44I put it under your bedroom door.
07:46I thought maybe you didn't like the books I'd suggested.
07:49You should have said something sooner.
07:51Well, do up the list again and I'll order them as a priority.
07:55I'm sure I'll love this selection.
07:57Maybe one of the servants took it by mistake whilst they were cleaning.
08:06Okay, look here.
08:08It was definitely scheduled to be delivered today.
08:12Wait, you tell them that we want a discount for every day that it's late.
08:14And we're not giving them a penny until then.
08:17We've already paid.
08:20What?
08:21It was half up front and half when it's delivered.
08:25Look, Dad.
08:26We double checked everything.
08:28You don't have to worry.
08:29Okay.
08:30The office is in Leeds.
08:31I'll go there.
08:32Line this whole thing up.
08:33Thank you, Carl.
08:44And remember, the Harpers Festival's here in two days.
08:47So if anyone can do a reading at all, talk to me after the lesson.
08:51I'm worried I'd mess up the words.
08:53Oh, you've nothing to worry about, Maggie.
08:55Yeah, you're more than capable.
08:56It's just nerves, love.
08:57I mark up the poem just like we've been practicing.
09:00I'll have it sent over to Harvey Echo Hall tomorrow.
09:02And you'll be coming to the festival too, aren't you, Lady Emma?
09:06Do you suppose I can?
09:07Good.
09:08I'll stand right there in your eyeline, Maggie.
09:15Uh, we're in the middle of a lesson here, Mr.
09:19Mr. Bartholomew Balfour from the National Vigilance Association.
09:23I'm sorry, the what?
09:24You heard me.
09:26I've received complaints about this school.
09:29And I must iron out a few details before I leave for York.
09:33Complaints?
09:34Yes.
09:35About your teaching methods.
09:37From who?
09:38That, madam, is confidential.
09:40Listen, if you've got a problem that you'd like to discuss, we can schedule a time.
09:44No, thank you.
09:45I'll address this matter directly with your husband.
09:48I set up this school.
09:50You'll address me.
09:54You know, I had thought the fears about you might be trumped up allegations.
10:01Clearly I was mistaken.
10:03Tell Mr. Hardacre to expect my visit.
10:08You need to be careful, Mary.
10:10Bartholomew Balfour's a powerful man.
10:18No.
10:35Yes.
10:36They're not great.
10:38They're brilliant, Liza.
10:40Right, let's get them down to the village hall and help set up.
10:43Well, I thought this was meant to be fun.
10:45Well, it is fun.
10:46We just need to put in the work first.
10:50Look, I know you're heartbroken.
10:54I'm not bloody heartbroken.
10:56I'm glad I'm not with that liar.
10:59Just because Edward lied, it doesn't make what you felt any different.
11:01Who would you know, Mum?
11:04I don't care about Edward.
11:05And I don't care about this stupid Harvest Festival.
11:23The Vigilance Association paid a visit to the school yesterday.
11:27I am glad Bartholomew finally went to investigate.
11:31Indeed.
11:33At least you won't have to teach those dreadful classes anymore.
11:38Once Bartholomew sees what Mrs. Hardacre's really like, he will shut her down.
11:43I don't want the Fitzherbert name associated.
11:47When the school becomes a scandal, you must remove yourself.
11:51But these pupils haven't done anything wrong.
11:56I hope you're not blaming me for this outcome.
12:00All I did was pass on the information that you provided.
12:06Oh, Emma, you're not starting to enjoy her company.
12:11Of course not.
12:12Good.
12:12I have my own plan in motion.
12:16By tomorrow, the Hardacres will be finished.
12:20All you have to do is stay away from them.
12:25Do I make myself clear?
12:28Crystal, Mama.
12:30You know, Emma said it was some sort of morality police, this association.
12:34But I want to know who made that complaint.
12:36Maybe it's Franny's husband.
12:38Well, I'll get to the bottom of it.
12:39It sounds as if he's just doing his job.
12:41Oh, is that what we're calling it?
12:42Mary, and Sultanum's not going to get rid of him.
12:44Right.
12:44So what do you propose we do, then?
12:46We do nothing.
12:47He's coming to see me.
12:48Er, it's my school.
12:49And I have no problem telling him where to stick it.
12:52You're fired up.
12:52He means business.
12:53You're never going to reach an agreement like that.
12:56Who says I have to agree with him?
13:02So, Mr. Balfour has arrived.
13:05Thank you, Beasley.
13:07You need him to be on your side for this to go away.
13:10So flatter him if you have to.
13:12Let him think that he's won the battle.
13:13That way, you can win the war.
13:22Can I pour you a glass?
13:24Drunkenness blinds good men to the immorality they're steeped in.
13:31What can I do for you, Mr. Balfour?
13:33Concerns have been raised about your wife's classes.
13:35They're just getting help with her reading.
13:37I don't see a problem with that.
13:38Well, I've been called in to make an assessment of this school,
13:41and my duties include weeding out immorality and vice.
13:47But I now have other concerns.
13:50Your wife, sir, simply lacks the temperament fitting for a teacher.
13:59Education and religion are the cornerstones of our society.
14:04If your wife makes a mockery of that, it won't end well for either of you.
14:09Mary takes this very seriously.
14:10Oh, come now, Mr. Hardacre.
14:12You're more intelligent than that.
14:14You're a businessman.
14:15Your shops are reliant on customers, are they not?
14:19Well, as rumours travel,
14:22this school will not only reflect poorly on your wife,
14:25it will impact your business.
14:28Is that a threat?
14:29No, sir.
14:30This is an ultimatum.
14:33Your wife is not an educator, Mr. Hardacre.
14:35Tell her to step back from teaching,
14:37or I will be left with no choice but to shut down this school.
14:44Your presence is needed urgently at the village hall.
14:47There has to be a compromise.
14:48Mr. Balfour.
14:49Mr. Balfour, I think we got off on the wrong foot yesterday,
14:53and I would very much like to invite you to the Harvest Festival tomorrow.
14:56Now, I understand you have some concerns, but...
14:59The Harvest Festival is for the workers, not the upper classes.
15:01Yes, but it's a celebration for the village.
15:04And there's going to be food, and the students are going to read poetry,
15:07and you'll see the benefit of the school.
15:10Look, a month ago they could hardly read letters,
15:11and now they're reading in front of a whole hall full of people.
15:14Well, I've seen all I need to see.
15:16I've given your husband my recommendation.
15:18Look, please, Mr. Balfour.
15:20I wrote to you yesterday, and I apologise for that,
15:22but if you come tomorrow you'll see what I'm trying to achieve.
15:26The school needs all the support you can get,
15:28and I want to show you the progress I've made,
15:29and I want to show you that people's concerns are nonsense.
15:33Very well.
15:34I would like to put this matter to bed as swiftly as possible.
15:37If you can demonstrate that your teaching methods are effective,
15:41I will happily leave you be.
15:43Well, thank you, sir. Thank you.
15:47Oh, my God.
15:49Mary.
15:49Ma'am, there won't be a harvest festival at all
15:52if decisions aren't made now.
15:54Right. What's the problem?
15:56Come with me, please, ma'am.
16:04Well?
16:06Their offices are empty.
16:11Did you get a forward-end address?
16:12Yes.
16:12I'm trying to find one.
16:16Callum, there has to be an explanation.
16:19What about those Americans you were speaking to?
16:21I'm making enquiries, but...
16:24I fear we may also need to notify the police.
16:28Why the hell would we do that?
16:30To declare the money stolen?
16:33Joe, I believe these were complete conmen.
16:39You know, can we hide the beer in the corner, please, love?
16:41This is a big game, though.
16:43Inbridge, understanding someone's decision is imperative.
16:47Poor mesh can make or break a game.
16:49Right.
16:50It's an honour to be invited.
16:52It speaks to your talents.
16:54And the talents of your teacher.
16:57Oh, okay.
16:58I need to find out whether we've got good mesh before I agree.
17:03Then practice with Lady Hanson.
17:05Can you spot your partner's plays?
17:07What is she telling you about her hand?
17:10What are her bids revealing to you?
17:12You mean trying to figure out what her cards are?
17:14You must be careful.
17:15She can't visually hint to a specific card.
17:18That's cheating.
17:19But she can hint to a strong or weak hand.
17:22Oh.
17:23You mean like tells in poker?
17:25No.
17:26Breach is a respectable game.
17:29Cards are cards, Mrs. Dean.
17:30No matter what fancy name you give them.
17:32But...
17:32Right.
17:32I need to practice.
17:36I give up.
17:40Look, I can explain to your father what a sophisticated operation this was.
17:43You...
17:44You won't care, Cal.
17:46Nobody finds out I haven't even seen a cannon machine.
17:48Joe, this could have happened to anyone.
17:49No, it was my mistake.
17:51I need to tell them myself.
18:09Oh, sorry.
18:10I was...
18:10I was gonna wait here for Joe.
18:12I'll go somewhere else.
18:13No, it's fine.
18:13I'll go.
18:14Are you alright, Liza?
18:16I wish everyone would stop asking me that.
18:19You should have just left well enough alone.
18:24You deserve to be with someone who...
18:26Everybody's a bloody expert on what I deserve.
18:29Callum, you could have just come to me.
18:31Instead of involving my whole family.
18:33I didn't think it would be appropriate coming from me.
18:35So why did you get involved at all then?
18:36I'm sorry.
18:40I told you I'll speak to him later.
18:43For Dana's wiser.
18:57It was me who asked Callum to look into that slimy Blackwood.
19:01If you want to be angry with anyone, be angry with me.
19:04I'm angry with myself.
19:05For being a bloody fool.
19:10Blackwood is a fool.
19:11Don't you ever forget that.
19:15There's better things to do in your life than marriage and men.
19:19Eh?
19:23Have you heard from Lady Fitzherbert?
19:25No, why?
19:26She told me she'd mark up my poem, but it never arrived.
19:29I know, perhaps you've got busy love.
19:31Will she be here tomorrow?
19:34I don't know.
19:35I'm sure Lady Emma won't let us down.
19:37I'll help you practise.
19:38Just hang on a minute there.
19:39I always need to go by the door.
19:40Alright, Mum.
19:41It's okay, ma'am.
19:43I can practise by myself.
19:45Is that your poem?
19:48Right, come on.
19:49Then we'll practise now.
19:51Come on.
19:52Thank you, Mrs Ardaker.
19:56Come ye thankful people.
19:58Come.
19:59How could you let this happen?
20:02It was a sophisticated scheme.
20:04Callum said so himself.
20:05The shops are just back on their feet.
20:07We still can't move some of our products.
20:09And you spend a chunk of money that we don't have
20:12on a machine that you didn't even see.
20:14The world's moving fast.
20:16That's what you said.
20:17All I'm trying to do is make these shops work.
20:19Oh, really?
20:20By overstocking them?
20:21We needed variety.
20:22By selling rotten fish.
20:23We used those methods for years at Shaw's and no one got sick.
20:25And now you had a cannon machine, Joe.
20:27Yeah, I trusted the wrong people, but it was a good idea.
20:30You still can't take responsibility.
20:31I'm trying to, but you won't let me.
20:33I've given you every opportunity, Joe.
20:34All you've done is breathed down my neck since the day you gave me the bloody job.
20:38If you don't trust me, then why'd you ask me to do it?
20:40I'd only give you the job because I didn't want you to leave.
20:50I didn't mean that, Joe.
20:53No, your man.
21:17No bridge?
21:18Hmm.
21:19I'm practicing with him elder later.
21:22Well, I suppose I should be relieved that you knocked down the bridge.
21:24I'm not putting on poker.
21:26Won't make a respectable lady of you yet.
21:28Ha!
21:33I'm worried about Liza.
21:36She'll be all right.
21:38I just wish she'd stop being so stubborn and let me help her.
21:42Hmm.
21:43Reminds me of someone.
21:46You know, I'm worried I'm going about it all the wrong way.
21:49Not Liza.
21:50Or this thing with the school.
21:52Both.
21:53Trust your gut.
21:55Yeah.
21:56Well, that's what's got me in trouble so far.
21:58No.
22:00Change always causes a bit of trouble.
22:03I know.
22:05What happened?
22:08No, talk to me.
22:11That canning machine I bought.
22:13It were a con.
22:16Lost them on air.
22:18I'm sorry, love.
22:21One more disappointment to add to my dad's list.
22:24Mistakes happen.
22:26But he put you in charge, don't forget that.
22:28Only because you weren't so afraid of me quitting altogether.
22:31That's it, he doesn't see me running the business.
22:34Did he say that?
22:37I don't know why I bothered you running.
22:40People say things in the heat of the moment.
22:43He's lucky to have you.
22:46And if he can't see that, maybe it's time for us to make a change.
22:52Queen of clubs.
22:55Another trick.
22:57Well, of course we're going to win playing like this.
23:00No, no, it's not just about winning.
23:01We're learning about each other.
23:03I've seen several of your tells.
23:06Oh, give over.
23:07I've given nowt away.
23:09You shift to the left of your seat.
23:11When you make a bid, you're not sure we can win.
23:14The chair's lumpy.
23:15And you scratch your eyebrow when you've been dealt a bad hand.
23:20You need to get your eyes checked.
23:22It's not an insult.
23:24We're playing well together because of it.
23:27Okay.
23:29When you have a good hand, you put your little finger on the edge of the card.
23:32And, whenever you have diamonds, you touch your brooch.
23:36You see? It's working.
23:39Good mesh.
23:41Diamonds?
23:42Yes.
23:43Yeah, but how can we be sure when we're playing with an open hand?
23:47Well, then let's play properly.
23:50Brand?
23:51Fetch Lord and Lady Fitzherbert, please.
23:53Yes, ma'am.
23:56Isn't it strange how so many people have a problem with the school?
23:59It just feels like from day one it's been problem after problem.
24:03You know, teachers don't like it. Husbands don't like it.
24:06Let's just hope Balfour's impressed.
24:08But you might have to step back.
24:10Are you not serious?
24:11Mary, that association could ruin our family name.
24:14Never mind severely damage the business.
24:15Don't be ridiculous.
24:16Don't be naive.
24:17We need to think about family security.
24:19You're jeopardizing our reputation.
24:20Joe's throwing away money that we don't have.
24:22Is this about family, Sam?
24:23Because it sounds a lot like business to me.
24:25The business is part of our family.
24:27I'm not saying the shops aren't important.
24:29But so is the school and so are children.
24:32Balfour has it in for you.
24:33You could lose everything if you don't stop.
24:37I set out to do something.
24:40And I'm gonna say it through.
24:41No.
24:41We can't win every bottle, Mary.
24:44No, we can try.
24:51Eleven tricks.
24:52And that's the game.
24:54Oh dear.
24:55I think we've had quite enough for one night.
24:58George.
24:59Oh, yes, yes, yes.
25:00I bid you good night.
25:02Good night.
25:07There.
25:07Are you convinced?
25:09Oh, we are bloody decent, all right.
25:11I can't wait to see the look on their faces when we win.
25:16It and where it hurts.
25:17The pride and their purses.
25:20Speaking of purses, what will you bring as collateral?
25:24Collateral?
25:25Well, it's routine in games of this caliber.
25:29What kind of collateral?
25:30Well, I'll bring rubies.
25:32But in the absence of precious gems,
25:36the deeds to a house like Hardacre Hall would suffice.
25:43You know, the usual.
25:46Okay.
25:47The usual, right.
25:48Well, I'd be happy to provide collateral for us both.
25:53If you can't afford it.
25:56The Hardacre's a bloody good for it.
26:00I will be here tomorrow with the collateral.
26:03Oh, excellent.
26:07Cheers.
26:11Darling, are you ready?
26:13We don't want to be late.
26:19Are you ready for the Harvest Festival, dear?
26:24I have a dreadful migraine.
26:25I just don't think I can manage it.
26:27Mary would have to organize the students on her own.
26:30Of course.
26:32Better you're not there to see me lose.
26:34I'm sure you'll do wonderfully, George.
26:39Please offer my deepest apologies to Mrs. Hardacre.
26:42Of course.
26:44Best you feel better, dear.
26:45Oh.
26:46Oh.
26:57Oh.
26:57Oh.
26:59Oh.
27:02Oh.
27:03Oh, hello.
27:03Oh, hello.
27:06Hello, baby.
27:06Oh, hello.
27:15Oh.
27:16Oh, hello.
27:16Hello, ladies. Good to see you. I'm so glad you're here. Don't forget to buy some pickles.
27:20All right.
27:21Oh, and your bread is always the best. Not forgetting yours.
27:24Oh, thank you, Mrs. Hardacre.
27:26And what's amazing is.
27:29Mr. Beasley.
27:30Mum.
27:31Can't wait to try.
27:31Mrs. Hardacre, how are you?
27:33George.
27:33Please feel free to vibe.
27:35I will. I've heard great things about your rhubarb.
27:37At your leisure, madam.
27:39Mrs. Henderson, you never let us down.
27:41Thank you, ma'am.
27:42Are we all in good order?
27:44Get in there, ma'am.
27:45Good.
27:45Good. Good, good.
27:47Ooh, the stew.
27:49Smells wonderful.
27:52Here, I'll have a go.
27:54Here we go.
27:55Welcome to the Hardacre Harvest Festival.
27:58Now, I've got something to show you.
28:02I'm sorry about yesterday.
28:03No, I shouldn't have pushed you when you were upset.
28:05I'm not upset.
28:06All right.
28:08Look.
28:09Lemon drops.
28:10You see?
28:11No good harvest festival goes without them.
28:14Listen, the right person's out there, love.
28:18Someone that you can trust.
28:21Oh, if there isn't, though.
28:23What do you mean?
28:24Joe's working.
28:25Harry's got university.
28:27What do I do if I don't get married?
28:29With Edward, I could see something in my future, at least.
28:33It just don't seem fair.
28:36I know.
28:38I know.
28:38I know, and I'm sorry, love.
28:41I'm sorry.
28:43I'm so frustrated.
28:45I've got lots of dreams, Betsy.
28:48You know that.
28:50But I can't do them with him breathing down my neck.
28:52You fixated on winning his approval.
28:55I've got dreams too, Joe.
28:57And do you know what they all start with?
28:59Our family.
29:00You, me, little Samuel.
29:04I keep imagining what it would feel like if we felt free to build the life we wanted.
29:08Well, I imagine it's super, sir.
29:14But you know what it would mean.
29:23Mr. Welfare, thank you for coming.
29:25Mr. Hardacre.
29:26Pleasure.
29:28Mrs. Hardacre.
29:32So, this Vigilant Society.
29:36The National Vigilance Association.
29:39Right.
29:39Of course.
29:40The National Vigilance Association.
29:42What does it do exactly?
29:44Well, it's a self-appointed society.
29:46More of a vocation, really.
29:48We uphold moral standards for the collective good.
29:51Well, that's, um, that's very thoughtful.
29:54So, you appoint yourselves and then you decide what is and isn't moral?
29:58Yes.
29:59And that includes schools?
30:00That includes anything that may expose citizens to illicit materials or radical thoughts.
30:07Oh, I can assure you, Mr. Balfour, we have nothing like that in our school.
30:11Usually we work with the Board of Education, which has appointed teachers and trained professionals.
30:18What you've set up is different.
30:21That's hardly the worst of its kind.
30:22Indeed.
30:23Indeed.
30:23I just want to help in whatever way I can.
30:26And this class is doing some real good, Mr. Balfour.
30:30Lovely sentiment, Mrs. Hardacre.
30:32Let me be the judge of that.
30:38Lady Agatha and Lady Caroline, you're most welcome.
30:43Shall we get the business out of the way?
30:48Collateral.
30:48Well, my rare rubies from Burma.
30:55A promissory note to my house in Cornwall.
30:58And a mine in Windsor.
31:00And mine in Yorkshire.
31:06Well, let's begin.
31:21Third prize.
31:26Oh, don't miss it.
31:33Second prize.
31:40No hard freedom is going to be so hard.
31:44And first prize.
31:49This exquisite rhubarb cordial.
31:55Bravo!
31:59I do love a sharp drink in autumn.
32:04Congratulations.
32:05Thank you so much.
32:06Uncle George.
32:16Best of three.
32:17Are we agreed?
32:19Absolutely.
32:22It'll only take two games to wipe the floor with them.
32:24Confident.
32:26They're always confident to begin.
32:29Bidding?
32:30One heart.
32:32No bid.
32:34Two hearts.
32:36No bid.
32:37Four hearts.
32:39No bid.
32:40No bid.
32:42No bid.
32:44May I need?
32:45You may.
33:02Hello, everybody.
33:03Hello.
33:04Could I just get your attention?
33:06I hope you're enjoying the harvest festivities.
33:09Now, I'd like to invite some of our students up to recite some harvest poetry.
33:14See if you'd like to just join me in and welcome them.
33:17Please welcome Maggie to the stage.
33:23I think you'll enjoy these.
33:51I'm sorry I can't do it.
34:04That's our first win.
34:06Eleven tricks.
34:08Told you.
34:08You two are in trouble.
34:10Ready for round two?
34:12She writes.
34:16That's it.
34:17That's it.
34:18Go.
34:22Oh, dear.
34:26Come ye, thankful people, come.
34:30Come ye, thankful people, come.
34:33Raise the song of harvest home.
34:36All are safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin.
34:41God, our maker, doth provide for our wants to be supplied.
34:47Come to God's own temple, come.
34:50Raise the song of harvest home.
34:54All the world is God's own field.
34:57Fruit is praise, to God we yield.
35:00Wheat and tares together sown, are to joy our sorrow grown.
35:06First the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear.
35:34Ten tricks, our game.
35:37Still competent?
35:40You've still got the last hand.
35:43Winner takes all.
35:55It's Joe here.
35:57Well, what's happened?
35:58No, no, no, no.
35:59I have good news.
36:00The company we bought the canning machine from were in touch.
36:02So they haven't pulled a fast one?
36:03No.
36:04Some of their workers came down with Russian flu while they were moving offices.
36:11But the machine will arrive next week.
36:18Tell Joe Airwoman an apology, but he was still ragdless.
36:22Well?
36:23Splendid day, Mrs. Hardacre.
36:25You've done a wonderful job.
36:26Thank you, sir.
36:28I'm not sure why anyone was so concerned.
36:32Your students can barely get to a poem.
36:36Excuse me?
36:38When I first met you, I was somewhat concerned.
36:40A woman with little education herself, attempting to teach others.
36:44Now, hold on here a minute.
36:45No, no, Sam.
36:46Let Mr. Balfour tell us what he thinks.
36:48What I mean is, I can see you're just like all the other women of your ilk.
36:53Board, money to spare, the whim of an idea.
36:56Why, I doubt this school will make it through winter before you move on to something else.
37:01That said, I do have a few suggestions I'd like to offer.
37:04This school is not our people.
37:06I think he's well aware of that.
37:07No, no, no.
37:07Why should we bow down to someone like him?
37:10He ain't got a bloody clue what he's talking about.
37:12How dare you.
37:14No, how dare you, judges.
37:17Now, this school is changing things.
37:19Education is powerful.
37:20It's giving our students a voice.
37:22A voice to stand up to the landlords, to their employers.
37:24Well, even to their own bloody husbands.
37:27Mr. Hardwick, are you going to allow your wife to speak to me this way?
37:30Allow?
37:31Yeah, because that's what it's all about, isn't it, Mr. Balfour?
37:35Allowing.
37:37You are treading on dangerous territory.
37:40Well, I must be doing something right then.
37:42My wife has a point, Mr. Balfour.
37:45You saw the students for yourself.
37:47This is about changing things.
37:48Surely that's what matters.
37:49I can and will close down this school.
37:53Well, you do as you must.
37:55But if people want an education, they're going to go looking for it.
37:57If anyone is to educate the people around here, it will be done the right way.
38:02I will contact the Board of Education and request an immediate intervention.
38:08This school is finished.
38:10Good day to you.
38:18Let's make this more interesting.
38:21Raise the bets.
38:28You want to play the collateral?
38:30Is that more than you can spare?
38:34This is so typical.
38:37You have a bad hand, and you're hoping that by pricing us out, we'll pass.
38:43And you'll start a new contract.
38:45We could just call it quits.
38:46Forfeit, we each won one game.
38:54Hang on.
38:55We've already started the third game.
38:57The cards are dealt.
38:59If you're certain that you'll win,
39:01then there shouldn't be an issue raising the bet.
39:03The only other option is forfeit.
39:22Let's play.
39:29Let's play.
39:31Colpress.
39:32Give me the colpress.
39:34Quickly.
39:34Oh, yes.
39:37To the victor, the spoils.
39:40I won.
39:41Oh, well done, George.
39:44We must all have a taste.
39:47How did the reading go?
39:48Oh, the students did splendidly.
39:50Oh, and Maggie.
39:51Wonderfully.
39:52Oh, thank goodness.
39:55But, I overheard word that the school was to be shut down.
40:01I'm sorry, darling.
40:02I don't know how much you enjoy teaching there.
40:06Papa, bring the cordial over.
40:14I'm sorry, babe.
40:15Is there anything I can do?
40:18No.
40:19You're right.
40:20There are some battles we can't win.
40:23I was so good at this.
40:25Everyone was talking about it.
40:26That's me.
40:27It's good.
40:27Oh, am I going to tell them?
40:29Yes.
40:30You're going to tell them that you tried everything that you could?
40:35Sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to.
40:37You know that.
40:38Yeah.
40:40Hmm?
40:46That's six tricks to us.
40:52We have six, too.
40:54Next trick wins.
40:58My lead.
41:18Our trick.
41:19And our game.
41:21What?
41:23I thought we had it.
41:24I thought you had the Jack of Diamonds.
41:28Oh, dear.
41:30You've lost Hardacre Hall.
41:35I've come to collect a debt.
41:37Tell us you haven't bet the house of cards.
41:39Proof of collateral was required.
41:40I'd love to have my say.
41:42Perhaps you should.
41:43Everyone's free to stand for this election.
41:45Even a woman.
41:45I'm just exploring new ideas on how to grow the business.
41:48Aren't you like mine?
41:49Yes.
41:49Absolutely.
41:50Probably hell.
41:50Why are you taking away everything I worked so hard for?
41:52I don't want to be a part of your little fangled vision of the future.
41:55This scandalous letter has come into my possession.
41:58It was written by your younger son.
42:00How do you get hold of it?
42:02We have to do something.
42:03We're helpless to stop her.
42:30We're helpless to stop her.
