The Hardacres S01E01
Transcript
00:12You don't get paid for standing around you, up to it.
00:30Here he comes, the finest Irishman in Yorkshire. If you ever get bored, you can send him my way.
00:36Don't let me say that. It's as God's gift as it is.
00:40For you, m'lady.
00:42Who needs diamonds, eh?
00:46So, put the smokers' out. There's something up with the crane.
00:51That should be me and your girl one day.
00:53There are better things to do in life than marriage and fellas, you know.
00:56Yeah, I used to say that when I met your dad.
00:59Look where that got you.
01:04Crane's blocking again.
01:05What's this? The mother's meeting.
01:08We have a problem, Mr. Shaw.
01:10Not much science for me.
01:12That crane is a danger to using those current steel.
01:14Can I do in terms of load my fish without one?
01:17By hand.
01:19Will take too long.
01:20The lady Jane's just stopped. I want the cats bringing in.
01:22Aye, it'll take longer. But that's the way it's gonna be done.
01:25All right.
01:26Load up my hand, lads. I'll see the lady Jane.
01:35Grafton for yourself. That's the only way to live.
01:37You would have loved the swiveling life, Liza.
01:39Here we go.
01:40Out on the boat on a beautiful night.
01:42Hiding from the exile.
01:44Living on your wits.
01:45Getting thrown in jail.
01:47Those were the glory days.
01:48I remember them.
01:50I remember them.
01:52Here he comes.
01:56Ladies.
01:57Looking lovely as ever.
02:03Can I not?
02:05Looking lovely as ever, ladies.
02:07Shame we can't say the same about you, Mr. Shaw.
02:09Oh, come on.
02:11One little taste.
02:12Look at that.
02:18Oi!
02:19I said that wasn't to be used.
02:21Shaw said we didn't.
02:22We were out of the job.
02:24Help me!
02:28Come on!
02:29Get down!
02:46Somebody get some help.
02:47Somebody get some help.
02:49Riza, go!
02:50Now!
03:03Oh!
03:04Isn't there something you can give them for the pain?
03:06Of laudanum?
03:07At two shillings.
03:09Why don't you hold a gun to our heads and be done, mate?
03:11I suspect there's some nerve damage.
03:12Possibly a severed tendon.
03:13It's nasty.
03:15Will he lose the hand?
03:17Not with any luck, no.
03:18We're not paying you for luck.
03:19When can I go back to work, Doctor?
03:23You may keep the hand, Mr. Hardacre.
03:25Whether you're able to use it again is another matter.
03:30Right.
03:30If you'd like to follow me.
03:45I know he doesn't want to hear this,
03:47but I've seen injuries like this before.
03:49It'll be a long time before he can use it properly again,
03:52if ever.
03:54It's highly unlikely he'll be able to return to laboring.
04:04You're not going so often with me, are you?
04:07No.
04:08Let the man be, Eliza.
04:10He's already been crushed once today.
04:12I want to stay with me dad.
04:14They say I'm the baby of the family.
04:16Come on, you lot.
04:18Let everyone out so far they can get some rest.
04:24Good night, beasts.
04:26Your elder's going to be fine.
04:33I know I'm smart.
04:35But it'll man.
04:37And if it doesn't?
04:40It will.
04:43It will.
04:43It has to.
05:02How's dad?
05:04He's still in a lot of pain, and he's still pretending otherwise.
05:08Well, I don't think it's his first lion in 20 odd years.
05:11That's something, innit?
05:12A lion won't help his hand.
05:14I'm aware of that, mother.
05:17Brent!
05:31My husband's had an accident, so we had to pay the doctor.
05:34I'm sorry, but we're going to need more time.
05:35No credit.
05:36No excuses.
05:37Hold on a minute.
05:37How many years have we lived here, and not once have we been late with the rent, eh?
05:40It don't matter.
05:41Where's your compassion, man?
05:42This is our home, and I'm not letting you...
05:44I'm so sorry, Mr. Gibbons.
05:46I've gone and done myself an injury, so I have.
05:49What?
05:49Serious?
05:50I don't know.
05:51I'll be back here in a couple of days.
05:53You sure about that?
05:55You have my word.
05:57Huh.
05:59I'll be back.
06:06It's feeling a bit better.
06:07Well, be it more bother for stringing him along.
06:09You should have left me to it.
06:10Oh, the old Mary Hartacre charm.
06:12You nearly had him there right enough.
06:13I'll let that one go on the account of your condition.
06:16Right, you lot.
06:16Come on, get rid of them.
06:17Let's go.
06:23Keep up this strip down there until I get back.
06:41I'll have to speak to Shaw.
06:43I wish I could help.
06:44Put me and Betsy around tomorrow.
06:45Don't mean I'd never ask.
06:47I know you give it to us if you ever.
06:48I'm for the word!
06:50I'm for the word!
06:50I'm for the word!
06:51I'm for the word!
06:51I'm for the word!
06:52You're walking here!
06:52You're rich bastards!
06:54I'm worried, Mrs. Sunfolk.
06:57Must be some work though, eh?
06:59To have all that money and a little worry in the world.
07:02Oh, come on now.
07:03You took the life of gutting fish in my fine company for that.
07:18Come in.
07:20Come in.
07:40I'm sorry to disturb you.
07:42How's that man of yours?
07:44Yeah, he'll be back as soon as he's right, Mr. Shaw.
07:51I was wondering if you could see it your way to an advance on his wages just to tide us
07:56over until then.
08:02I'd like to help.
08:04But if I were to do all that charity to one man, I'd have to give it to them all.
08:10And then where would I be?
08:12I do understand.
08:14But in all these years, he's never been late.
08:16He's not been sick.
08:17Not once has he let you down.
08:22You make it.
08:23You make a compelling case.
08:28I'm going to do you a favor.
08:35Mrs. Arbaker
08:46Mary
08:49It would only be fair
08:51You do me one in return
08:57That's an interesting proposition
09:01All these years working here
09:05I've seen your face every day
09:10I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about you
09:16Do it so
09:19I thought that if you were the last man on earth
09:24And my life depended on it
09:26I still wouldn't touch you with a barge
09:32No
09:32You'll never work in these drunken again
09:34Good
09:43Mum
09:45Mum
09:46Just come on
09:47What happened?
09:48He said it would only help us if I went to bed with him
09:50It's awkward
09:52Where is he?
09:53He's been dealt with
09:54And not a word of this to Sam
09:55He'd killed Sean the last thing we needed him in jail
09:57What are you going to do though?
09:58I don't know
09:59I'll think of something
10:00Well we're coming with you
10:03We can't all walk out
10:06You did hear what that slimy bastard tried to do
10:09Well what are we supposed to live off?
10:10Well you don't think defending our mother's more important?
10:12Someone has to bring money into the house
10:14Oh well and you're the big man now are you?
10:16Get over here with your family
10:21I'm staying there
10:23If that's your decision
10:24If that's your decision
10:27If that's your decision
10:52I'm begging Mary
10:53Back to work on a couple of days
10:54Well he said no
10:56So I told him why he could stick his job
11:00What?
11:02Why could you do something so stupid?
11:04Well what's done is done
11:06What about you two?
11:08We stand in solidarity
11:14You're telling me now that we are four wages down?
11:16How are we supposed to keep a roof over our heads?
11:18The line does work
11:19I saw in the shop that thought Noel was looking for help
11:21Oh come on Mary
11:22What are you lot going to do in Thornton Hall?
11:24We ladies maids or something
11:27Okay love
11:28I know what an arse shot can be
11:30And I can understand how he might have upset you
11:32I wasn't upset
11:32But don't you think you're overreacting?
11:35Like it or not we need the work
11:40We'll go to Thornton all tomorrow
11:41You make sure you've got a clean dress
11:43You make sure you've got a clean face
11:47We'll leave first thing
12:06I don't even know what a ladies maid does
12:09Ladies maid?
12:12We'll be lucky if they let us clean out their privy
12:15Why can't they clean out their own privy?
12:17Because they're born bloody idle that's why
12:19There's no dignity in Scyvian for the rich
12:22Oi!
12:23Do you want to be out on the street?
12:25Now Liza just think what an opportunity this could be
12:27You get to live in a beautiful house, travel
12:31Visit all sorts of grand places
12:33Well you might get to wash the fancy knickers
12:35But you'll never get to wear them
12:38Would you look at that?
12:46I think we'll have to use the back door
12:52Oh
12:52Tinny!
12:53Back door!
13:07Oh, oh!
13:09Whatever you are hawking, I assure you, we have no need of it
13:12But I believe you're looking for help.
13:15And we would like to be considered for the positions.
13:19Is this in York?
13:20No.
13:21We're hard workers and fast learners.
13:23What's that smell?
13:25Is that fish?
13:27Is that you?
13:28I wouldn't work for this baggage if I love no money.
13:31We'll do anything.
13:32We'll cook.
13:34Clean.
13:35Please, we really need the work.
13:36What you and that mongrel need to do is leave immediately.
13:42Do not come to this house again.
13:50Oh, she ran into a petite cow.
13:52I hope that bloody dog didn't exactly help matters.
13:54What can I say?
13:55Tinny knows a wrong one when he sees one.
13:58Is that it?
14:00Ow.
14:01Some of us are still working, you know.
14:03I've got to keep my strength up.
14:04Maybe there's something we could sell.
14:06Perhaps a punny and cow.
14:07Not a chance.
14:09I'm going to be needing them.
14:11I've decided to get back into the old smuggling game.
14:14Absolutely not.
14:15Oh, we need the money, don't we?
14:16And I've worked for others long enough.
14:17It's time to be my own boss again.
14:18You'd never manage it.
14:19You gave up because you were too old.
14:21You couldn't handle the run.
14:22I'll help her.
14:22Oh, so you won't end up in jail, do you?
14:24Well, no.
14:25But I don't want to end up working for the likes of Shaw.
14:27All that baggage down at Thornton Hall, neither.
14:30I want to be an independent woman.
14:32Like a grandmother.
14:35You need to go and see Shaw.
14:37Maybe Ma's on to something here.
14:40That was being our own bosses.
14:42What if we went into something for ourselves?
14:45Like what?
14:46All we know is herring.
14:47Exactly.
14:50Exactly.
14:51We do know herring.
14:53What if we bought one of those barrels from the auction house and set up a fried fish stall?
14:56Have you lost your mind?
14:58She's finally cracked.
14:58I'm being serious here.
15:00Do you remember that day we went to the races and we saw all those food stalls?
15:03And none of them had fried herring?
15:05Yes.
15:05I could work it with you.
15:07You've got school.
15:08A few days off won't hurt.
15:09Right.
15:10We're doing this.
15:11Me, Harry, Eliza and Ma.
15:12No.
15:13I told you.
15:13I'm getting back into the old game.
15:15Yeah, and I'm with her.
15:16We already owe the landlord and you want to spend money on a barrel of herring.
15:19You do realise that if we don't pay the rent, we'd be homeless?
15:21Which is why we've got to try a summer.
15:22So go and see Shaw.
15:24And then in a few days, I'd be working again.
15:25You can't even lift a kettle up.
15:27How are you supposed to manage on the docks?
15:28Well, if you want to see us out in the streets because of your pride, on your head be it.
15:32Oh, my pride?
15:33What about yours?
15:46So how does it work?
15:48Do we roll out to the boat for the contraband?
15:50Well, we'll start on deliveries for Big Jonesy.
15:53I thought you said we'd be our own bosses.
15:55It's time lies a girl.
15:58Once Andrea's established and you've learnt the ropes, we'll get our own route to the money.
16:04Smugglers drink of the freshman's wine in the early morn is a smuggler's time.
16:09It's a smuggler's life.
16:15That was lock 26.
16:16Next we have lock 27, fresh heading.
16:19You wait here.
16:20You were here, too, Bob.
16:21You were here, too, Bob.
16:22You were here, too, Bob.
16:23You were here, six, three, six.
16:25You were here, four.
16:26Four.
16:26Four and six.
16:27Four and six.
16:28You were here, five shillies.
16:30Five shillies.
16:31Five.
16:32Five.
16:32Lock 27.
16:34Sol to the lane.
16:35At the front.
16:42If it was.
16:57We turned off.
16:59Stay on.
17:05Watch out.
17:10It's great to see you back, Ma.
17:12You have a legend of the trade making my gin deliveries.
17:15Well, you get what you pay for.
17:18What about an 80-20 split?
17:22It's me going out on boats.
17:24And it's me risking meeting the excise man on the street.
17:2870-30.
17:30You've been gone a while and I don't know if last will be up to it, do I?
17:48Right.
17:51Let's get this hidden.
17:53Take it easy, Ma.
17:55You've got a fine leg on your liza.
17:59You ready?
18:01Let's go.
18:14Oh, this was a mistake.
18:21I thought my truth isn't going to get this very far.
18:23Where's your enthusiasm?
18:26Spade, Aaron.
18:28Fresh off the bottom of the floor.
18:30Ready for work.
18:32Seven for six, friends.
18:34It smells delicious.
18:35Come on.
18:36Oh, you can't beat Aaron.
18:43Ain't a few more of them, you'll go back to one jig time.
18:46On again!
18:48There we go.
18:49Two, please.
18:55Are you back then, Sam?
18:56Hope so.
18:58There's not many that did what you did.
19:01I don't know how to thank you.
19:02I'll bring me a pint sometime.
19:04I'll call it quits.
19:08Get them barrels, sir.
19:09May I have word, Mr. Shaw?
19:14Ready to get back to work?
19:18Is your hand mended?
19:21It's getting there.
19:24Show me.
19:26You couldn't even go herring with the women.
19:32I'll sweep up.
19:33Anything.
19:37You're no use to me, Ard Hager.
19:43Come on.
19:45Come on.
19:54Go, sir.
19:55Last one.
19:56Enjoy.
20:00Two pound and six.
20:03I did it.
20:04Right.
20:05Let's get tidy.
20:11Got everything.
20:13You're tobacco.
20:15You're doing deliveries for Big John's, are you?
20:17Aye, I am.
20:18So you best watch yourself and behave.
20:20If you want to keep getting your gin cheap.
20:23Fill her up.
20:31If you want your gin, you'll turn your piggy eyes to the wall.
20:36I mean, she's one of your kin, all right?
20:38Yeah.
20:39And don't you forget it.
20:43Yes.
20:43Yes.
20:43Yes.
20:44Yes.
20:45Yes.
20:45Yes.
20:46Yes.
20:47Yes.
20:49I can't wait to see Joe's face.
20:51Now, now.
20:52I can't wait to see him as.
20:58Good day in the races.
21:00Yes.
21:02You owe us our cut.
21:03Get out of it.
21:04You want to watch that amount of yours?
21:05Get your hands off my son.
21:06It'll get you hurt.
21:08You wouldn't want that, would you?
21:12Now, take it.
21:14Stop and leave us alone.
21:15What do you call that?
21:16Hurry, hurry, stop.
21:17I want all of them.
21:20Two pound and a six.
21:30You see him.
21:32You're okay.
21:46I've had you seen a better day, so I've got it cheap.
21:49Beggars can't be choosers.
21:51What the hell happened?
21:53We were robbed.
21:55You hurt?
21:56They hardly touched me.
21:58I'd have taken him if they weren't two of them.
22:00What do they look like?
22:02Ginger, greasy, not a brain between them.
22:05It's a Wilson, boys.
22:06That pair should have been drowned at birth.
22:08We made two pound and six and they took the lot.
22:15Well, mine and Liza's.
22:18You're risking my daughter going to prison for a few shilling.
22:21Is it cold up there in your high horse?
22:23It's better than nothing.
22:24This is my fault, all of it's my fault.
22:29It's all right, love.
22:32How are you alive?
22:33When I find those boys...
22:35I should have just stayed to the talks.
22:36I should have just stayed there.
22:37I should have just gone back there and...
22:39I should have just gone in the office.
22:40Don't you ever think that?
22:42How could you have stayed after what Shaw tried to do?
22:47What do you mean?
22:49What does Shaw try to do?
22:53Somebody needs to tell me what's going on right now.
22:57Right.
23:06What the hell are you doing?
23:27What the hell are you doing?
23:27Did you know?
23:29Yeah, but of home?
23:31No.
23:42Here they come.
23:53Sure sends this.
23:55With his sincere apologies.
23:58Final wages for all of us.
24:07I've been an idiot.
24:08Well, you couldn't know what I didn't tell you.
24:10No, it's not just that.
24:13You're right about my hand.
24:17I didn't want to believe it.
24:18But it's never going to be what it was.
24:22And even if it were,
24:24our days at the docks are over
24:26after I upended Shaw and that pile of fish guns.
24:30So, after we've paid the rent,
24:32we've enough left to buy two barrels of herring for your stall.
24:35No, no, no, no.
24:36It doesn't work.
24:37You made more in one day than I would in a week at the docks.
24:39Ah, if I was stalling.
24:42Go and ask Shaw if anybody's going to throw that with me around.
24:46I should have supported you, and I'm sorry.
24:49But I'm with you now.
24:52We're all with you now.
24:56Right.
24:57This is the last we have.
25:00And not a job between us.
25:02Then we better make it work.
25:06Ah, signs are cracking, ain't ya?
25:09Good man.
25:14Don't even need a sign.
25:16What would you know?
25:18Nothing.
25:19Well, I was here, helping Mum.
25:21You were busy looking after yourself.
25:26Yeah, if he's going to be like that, he could stay at home.
25:28It's just some bars.
25:31I'm talking to him.
25:32You're too soft on him, love.
25:34Oh.
25:35Oh.
25:36Oh.
25:38Oh.
25:39Oh.
25:39Oh.
25:40Oh.
25:42Oh.
25:42Oh.
25:45Oh.
25:47Oh.
25:50I thought I'd be doing the right thing, Dad.
25:53I thought that me staying earning is what you'd want.
25:55I know you do.
25:59But some things are more important than money, Joe.
26:08I'll let everyone know.
26:12Mum are special.
26:21I, uh, never got home with my dad.
26:27He was a drinker.
26:29He spent every penny earned on stuff.
26:34If it weren't for your uncle, Johnny, working day and night to look after us.
26:44When I came here to find a better life, I swore that if I had my own family, we'd stick
26:52together, take care of each other.
26:55Today's a chance for you to show that you stand by this family no matter what.
27:01Take it.
27:06Mum?
27:16I really, I'm sorry.
27:20Then we'll say no more about it.
27:22Come here.
27:26Right.
27:28Make yourself useful.
27:29Finish off loading the cart.
27:34Right, Hard Acres.
27:35Let's go sell some fish.
27:37Let's go sell some fish.
27:37Okay.
27:38One only, two.
27:39It's ready for one.
27:41Seven for six minutes.
27:42One, go.
27:43Bye.
27:44Here we go.
27:45Thank you very much.
27:45Good job.
27:50Oh, my God.
27:52Nice.
27:53Come on, here, ladies.
27:54Yep.
27:55Thank you very much.
27:59Thank you very much.
28:02Thank you very much.
28:04Thank you very much.
28:07Enjoy.
28:09Enjoy.
28:10Enjoy.
28:11Two, three, two, four, five.
28:16Four pound.
28:17Six shillings and five.
28:19You did it.
28:21Oh, no, come on now.
28:22They all did it.
28:28Don't look now. There's our ginger friends.
28:34Right, marry me. You're with me.
28:36You lot, make yourself scarce.
28:37Oh, I'm Sam.
28:39Brains before brawn.
28:42You first.
28:44Well, you did.
28:53Looks like you've been busy.
28:55Yeah, took over four pounds.
28:57Minus the rent you owe us.
29:02You'll be getting nought.
29:04Listen, you old clone.
29:05No, you listen to me.
29:07Paddy Wilson.
29:09I know your father.
29:13A criminal for sure.
29:15But a criminal with principles.
29:18Now, I wonder what he'd have to say about you going around robbing women and young boys.
29:22You were just messing about.
29:23Well, you're all messing about.
29:25Has left my girl here out of pocket.
29:28Three pound and six.
29:30It was two pound and six.
29:31Four pound and six, was it?
29:32Well, that's very nice of you to be so honest.
29:45Now, say hello to my boys.
29:57We're rich.
29:58Well, I wouldn't go that far, love.
30:00But yes, it's a start.
30:02There's no need for you to go smuggling.
30:03Do you hear?
30:04Well, I don't want to wait for you and Dad.
30:06Well, it's all right working for your grandmother, is it?
30:07I'm a lot more fun.
30:10Brian?
30:12Oh, I'm going to enjoy this.
30:17What a day, eh?
30:18Mm-hmm.
30:19Even our Joe put in a shift.
30:21He's not a bad lad.
30:23He honestly thought he was doing the right thing.
30:25Oh, I know.
30:26Just worry is all.
30:27Him trying to be the big man in front of all of his pals.
30:29No, he's just trying to find himself on his place.
30:32It's not easy.
30:33What?
30:34You mean all men don't come out of a box like you?
30:36No.
30:38What do you mean like me?
30:38No.
30:40Decent.
30:42Vulnerable.
30:43Handsome.
30:45Yeah.
30:50So, do we carry on?
30:53Yeah.
30:55It works when we do it together.
30:57Mm-hmm.
30:59Lots of things work when we do them together, love.
31:25I can't believe I'm going to say this, but this is what I'm going to do with all that money.
31:30I mean, keep it away from your mother for a start.
31:33Imagine.
31:34We have more money than we actually need.
31:36We need to put it somewhere safe.
31:49Mr. and Mrs. Hardacre.
31:52Callum Saunders.
31:54The advertisement says you've got over 50 years' experience.
31:57That's right.
31:58I'm not being funny, lad, but I've got socks older than you.
32:02It was Mr. Pearson who started the firm.
32:04He passed away recently.
32:07But I assure you I am well qualified.
32:11Well, we've come all this way.
32:13May as well hear what the boy has to say.
32:15Please.
32:18So, we're here today because we recently started a business.
32:20Could you be more specific?
32:23We were on a fried herring stall, son.
32:25And we've made some money and we don't know what to do with it.
32:28And where is the money currently being held?
32:30Well, right now it's in Miri's bag.
32:33Before that it was on the mantelpiece.
32:34Please.
32:39Then, the first thing I'd suggest is depositing it in a bank.
32:44Right.
32:45So how does that work?
32:46Sorry, do we give the money to you and then you give it to them?
32:51Or...
32:55If you decide to go ahead with me, I will give you the very best advice I can.
33:00But all monies, all accounts would be in your names and your names only.
33:06You're in charge.
33:26You've obviously quite a knack for business.
33:32Have you considered expansion in investment?
33:36That's all right.
33:41Oh, what's it?
33:43She's doing the finishing touches.
33:45That's right.
33:47Shall we, ladies?
33:49Come on.
33:50Let's go first.
33:51Oh my God.
34:00There we go.
34:01I'll go.
34:02I'll get you.
34:03I'll get you.
34:04Oh, thank you.
34:08Nice.
34:10All right.
34:24Thank you very much.
34:44Shares for the quarter of the quarter, you can't help.
34:47Here.
34:49There's 20 shares and a 20 pounds apiece for Cape Topical Mining Company.
35:10Have a successful day.
35:14Can I get my wages early?
35:17Meeting Lewis and Jack at the pub.
35:19No.
35:19That's two lights in a row.
35:21Staying in.
35:22Oh, bad luck, Joe.
35:24Okay.
35:24Is that it?
35:26Why is your cup bigger than mine?
35:28We're supposed to be equal partners.
35:30You're still in training.
35:31I'm the one doing all the hard labour.
35:33Shoveling out all smoke, doing all the humping and carrying.
35:36You've just seen some of the things I had to do back in my day.
35:39Oh, here we go.
35:40Hell to the last century.
35:41If you're not woman enough for the work, then feel free to quit.
35:45Well, I'd like to see you manage on your own.
35:47Old woman.
35:48I were a legend long before you came along.
35:50One day they'll sing songs about me.
35:52Fine.
35:53Then I quit.
35:55Fine.
35:59All right.
36:02Is this the hard ache at home?
36:04Who wants to know?
36:09I must apologise for my daughter's manners, Mr. Saunders.
36:12He was the one banging the door off its inches.
36:15My sincere apologies.
36:17But I am very keen to talk to you about your investments.
36:22What investments?
36:23I've put some of the profits from the business into stocks of other companies.
36:26Like what?
36:27Crank Junction Canal, a bicycle company in Manchester.
36:30What do you know about canals of bleeding bicycles?
36:33You don't have to know, as such.
36:35You buy a share in the company, and if it makes money, it gives you a little bit more back.
36:39Oh, if.
36:40So it's gambling.
36:42And all the times you've judged me.
36:43If I may.
36:44It is not gambling.
36:45But what's the difference between that and putting a bet on the horses?
36:48You wouldn't understand, would you?
36:49Well, I understand a fool and a money are easily partying.
36:51If I may.
36:52There is no fool at this table.
36:55Quite the opposite.
36:57The South African mine you invested in struck gold.
37:02So, I thought you might want to consider buying lodgings that may be more befitting a family in your new
37:09circumstances.
37:19You're having us on.
37:20I assure you, I am not.
37:22As things stand this morning, you and your wife are worth £249,146.16.
37:33Say that again, son.
37:38£249,146.
37:39£249,146.16.
37:41£249,146.
38:00So, husband, what's it to be?
38:03Ten bedrooms, a ballroom stables, or eight bedrooms.
38:07Elegant gardens, and the greatest hall in the county.
38:10Ridgemont problems.
38:11Oh, I'll take them over the other kind any day.
38:20What's wrong?
38:24I'm no lord of the monarch, Mary.
38:27I'm the son of a drunkard from the back alleys of Belfast.
38:31And I'm the daughter of a two-bit smuggler.
38:35But look what we've achieved.
38:37Who's to say what we can and can't be, eh?
38:42I mean, you look at her, right?
38:45He's clever, right?
38:47We could get him into a better school.
38:49One that can get into university.
38:51He could be a proper educated gentleman.
38:55So you really want to leave the village?
38:58I want to get Liza away from smuggling.
39:00Somewhere she can meet a nice fella and settle down.
39:04I don't think settling down is with Liza's after me.
39:07Oh, Joe.
39:08Oh, Joe.
39:09Just get away from those idiots on the docks.
39:11Wait.
39:12I'm an idiot from the docks.
39:14I know.
39:15You're a very lovely one, too.
39:19Don't you want more for him?
39:26So?
39:29Are we going to do this?
39:39Come on, I'll help.
39:42So?
39:43I suppose you two are going to stay here, given you've got a business to run and everything.
39:47No.
39:48I mean, you'll need me if you're going to live amongst the likes of them.
39:52The rich are more criminal than anyone you'd ever meet in my line of work.
39:57Anyway, which one of these asylums are you moving us into?
40:05You'll see.
40:14This whole garden's a plan for where we're going, love.
40:17I like this one.
40:18Reminds me of here.
40:21Now, don't you go forgetting about us.
40:24You'll come and see us as soon as we're settled, won't you?
40:26Wait.
40:27What's this?
40:27No, no, no.
40:28I'll be hearing none of your nonsense, Lena.
40:30It's only as much as I figured you'd accept.
40:32It's just to say thank you for always being there for us and being such a good pal.
40:37Oh, come on, ladies.
40:39You're going to set me off.
40:44Bye, Jo.
40:46Don't forget about us now that you're rich.
40:49I'll try not to.
40:51Right.
41:13It really is most unusual to serve champagne outside.
41:16That was requested by the new owner's agent.
41:20Do you know anything about them?
41:22Only that their name is Hardacre, and they will find this house and her staff ship-shaped and eager to
41:28serve.
41:35Whoa.
41:37Whoa, queen.
41:42What a dump.
41:53Oh, no.
41:55No.
42:00Wait till you meet this one.
42:02She's all right.
42:02Piece of work.
42:04Go on.
42:05Shoot.
42:05Whatever you're hawking, we have no need for it here.
42:08So you said.
42:10Oh.
42:11You don't remember me, do you?
42:13I came here looking for work with me mother and me daughter.
42:17You said we smelled of fish.
42:20And I told you never to come to this house again.
42:23You did.
42:24Didn't you, love?
42:26Oh.
42:27Oh.
42:28Oh.
42:28Oh.
42:29Oh.
42:30Someone controlled that dog.
42:32It's a nice leopard.
42:33What?
42:34Oh.
42:35Well, I don't mind if I do.
42:37Who on earth do you think you are?
42:42Where the hard acres.
42:44But you?
42:46You can call me ma'am.
43:00This is our home now.
43:01Has anyone seen ma'am?
43:04What sort of thing does a gentleman do with his day?
43:06It's mainly reading newspapers and talking nonsense with other gentlemen.
43:09Sam, you've got to give it a proper chance, love.
43:12Maybe you could just help me out here, love.
43:14I would like to get above my station.
43:16Well, Beasley, do we look the part every age, sir?
43:19Lord and Lady Fitzservid will be joining us.
43:21Welcome to Hard Acre.
