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