The Hardacres S01E06
Transcript
00:16My son, sweetheart, how are you feeling, love?
00:31I've got a headache, go away.
00:36She's upset and she's embarrassed.
00:39It might be easier if she wasn't outnumbered.
00:41I want to help.
00:42I know, I know you do.
00:45But I think this one has to be me.
00:48Are you sure?
00:52There are some things I need to organise, but I need you all down at the docks at 4 o
00:55'clock.
00:56Are you going to tell me what this big idea is?
00:58I'll see if I pull it off first.
01:02I'll be in the study if you need me.
01:11Morning.
01:15Morning.
01:20Crikey.
01:21How long have you been up?
01:22A little while.
01:24Someone woke me with their snoring.
01:29Never as we could see one another again.
01:33Do things properly.
01:34I don't even know your real name.
01:37I have to get back.
01:39I have to see how Liza is.
01:42I made us some breakfast.
01:44Maybe next time.
01:45Yeah, well, it was nice seeing you, but I'm not really a breakfast or next time kind of woman.
02:01What?
02:06Liza, let me look at you.
02:08No.
02:09Why not?
02:10Because I'm a big fat ugly idiot.
02:14Hey.
02:15You're none of those things.
02:17You're perfect.
02:18And that won't change your hair on your head.
02:20That's not true.
02:22You've been saying for ages I should be more ladylike.
02:25More like Adele.
02:27Is that why you took those pills?
02:28Because of me?
02:33Hugo Bathurst said I were a greedy mule.
02:35God.
02:36If I'd have owned that, I'd have punched it myself.
02:38You shan't care what some silly Toff thinks.
02:41You do, Mum.
02:44You care what Lady Emma and all the circle think.
02:50And anyway, who goes right?
02:52I don't want to be like this.
02:54Like what?
02:55Like I am.
03:00What about if I only take one a day?
03:02Liza, you collapsed.
03:03You don't need to take pills.
03:05You don't need to do anything.
03:06You don't need to change.
03:07I only got sick because I took too many.
03:09Adele takes one a day and she's fine.
03:12Is that where you got them from?
03:14Adele?
03:18hammock gives them to her.
03:21Are you able to get up?
03:23Get dressed.
03:25And get ready.
03:27And then you call me with me.
03:31Beasley?
03:31Beasley.
03:32Carriage please.
03:34Wilson, carriage.
03:39Uh, where have you been?
03:41Wait for a walk.
03:44Ah, there's my girl.
03:47How are you feeling?
03:48Can you wait outside for me please?
03:54These, these came from Lady Fitzherpett.
03:59I've had enough of this woman.
04:00I need my coat, please.
04:01Liza is ashamed of the way that she is.
04:03Who she is.
04:04Now the pills may have come from Emma,
04:05but back came from me.
04:07I'm the one that fell for her nonsense,
04:08so I'm the one that's gonna set things right.
04:13Well, I'm not missing that.
04:24Sorry, my lady, I couldn't stop.
04:25What on earth?
04:26Ladies, what a pleasant surprise.
04:28May we offer you some refreshments?
04:30We won't be stopping.
04:31Yours, I believe.
04:33They made my daughter sick.
04:35I'm sorry to hear that,
04:36but I don't see what that's got to do with me.
04:39She wouldn't have had me in the first place.
04:40If it wasn't for you,
04:42you'd put Eliza in danger.
04:43Danger?
04:44Well, she looks fine to me.
04:46And I must say,
04:47a little daintier too, dear.
04:49Oh, just say the word, Mary.
04:53I used to think that you were better than me.
04:55Oh, because you knew how to dress nice,
04:58speak proper,
04:59because you grew up in fancy rooms like this.
05:02You know where I grew up?
05:03Not really.
05:04The workhouse.
05:05Where you and your lady say it's full of the lazy and undeserving.
05:09Well, that explains a lot.
05:12And I put up with your insults.
05:14All because I thought that my past was something to be ashamed of.
05:17But it's not.
05:19No.
05:20I'm proud of where I came from,
05:22who I am.
05:23And I'm proud of the woman who raised me.
05:27And I'm proud of the daughter I raised too.
05:30She's strong,
05:32smart,
05:33and independent.
05:35And I'm gonna make sure she knows she can be whatever
05:37kind of woman she wants to be.
05:40She can live whatever life she chooses.
05:43Because she's worth more than being
05:45auctioned off as a broodmare to some chinless wonder.
05:52And so are you, sweetheart.
05:55So much more.
05:56Enough!
05:57Do something, George!
05:58Maybe we should all just take a moment.
06:00You are a nasty piece of work, Lady Emma.
06:04You're twisted.
06:05You're cold.
06:06Oh, and you're vicious.
06:08And everyone can see it.
06:12As clear as they can see the misery and the loneliness inside of you.
06:17And I wouldn't swap a second of my life for yours.
06:26We're done here.
06:28Let's go.
06:45What's your father up to this time?
06:47Don't ask me.
06:49I haven't a bloody clue.
06:50Miss Liza.
06:53I hope you're feeling better.
06:55I am.
06:56Mr Saunders.
06:57You can...
06:58Callum.
06:59Callum.
07:00After that stupid Fitzherbert party, you were so kind to me and...
07:03I was a bit of an arse in return.
07:06I'm sorry.
07:06Oh, it was nothing.
07:08Don't give it another thought.
07:14Are you cunning, bugger?
07:16Now this...
07:16This is clever, Sam.
07:18You gave me the idea.
07:19Mmm.
07:20I knew you'd come good, Sam.
07:22Mardek.
07:23You can't wait to see the board's faces.
07:25Or you won't have to.
07:26I've invited them here for a re-vote.
07:29Let's get this pointless shred over with, Mardek.
07:32We'll be holding the vote out here.
07:36What?
07:37There isn't room inside.
07:40I'd like you to meet our new shareholders.
07:46I divided my interests in the business equally amongst the workers.
07:50Every soul who toils on this dock now owns a piece of it.
07:53Every man and woman a share of the profits.
07:56And the decisions?
07:57Remind me, Mr Hugo.
07:59Is one shareholder one vote?
08:01Yes?
08:02Even the women?
08:04Especially the women, you big balloon!
08:08All those in favour of a shorter working week.
08:11And no layoffs.
08:12Say aye.
08:13Ha ha ha ha ha!
08:21Woah, boy!
08:33Listen up everybody...
08:36To us!
08:37Yeah!
08:40And, to the return of Fred, a much better gaffer than Joe Bloody Ardaker.
08:54Betsy, don't be wasting your tears.
09:01I know it hurts now, but one day you'll see that boy's trouble.
09:05And you're better off without him.
09:08It's not that easy.
09:12Oh, Mum.
09:20Mary!
09:22Mary!
09:25Mary!
09:29I need to see Mary.
09:30Mrs Hardaker is sleeping with you.
09:32Mary!
09:33Please don't stop.
09:34What's wrong?
09:35I'm terribly sorry, Mum.
09:36There he is!
09:37I'm altering your bloody neck!
09:39What is going on?
09:41Betsy is pregnant.
09:43And guess who's responsible?
09:47Oh, Betsy.
09:49Jesus.
09:50You told me you were just friends.
09:52It was a mistake.
09:53A mistake?
09:57It's like lying to me about Fred was a mistake.
09:59Dad, listen to me, please.
10:00These are decisions that you made to serve yourself.
10:03I'm sorry.
10:04Sorry's not good enough this time.
10:08We'll fix this.
10:10You have my working.
10:12You'd better.
10:14Come on.
10:29You're Marianne.
10:32I'm sorry.
10:33I'm sorry.
10:37I'm sorry.
10:38You're my...
10:38You hurt your mother.
10:39You're my doctor.
11:06I'm sorry for your mother.
11:13You dared to show your face, then?
11:15I thought it was a better.
11:17Depends.
11:18What you've got to say for yourself.
11:21Let them talk, Mum.
11:24I want us to get married.
11:28We can live in a cottage on the estate,
11:30and I'll provide for you and the baby.
11:34Come up to the house tomorrow.
11:39Come up to the house tomorrow.
11:55Mama.
12:00May I speak with you?
12:02Can I wait till morning?
12:04I have invitations to write in a headache.
12:07Please, Mama.
12:17I don't want to marry Hugo.
12:19This is that heartache, a woman putting nonsense into your head.
12:22It's not just about what she said.
12:26Hugo doesn't love me, and I don't love him.
12:29What has that got to do with anything?
12:32When I first came here, I found an estate half the size I was promised and riddled were dead.
12:39My dowry, the only thing to keep it afloat.
12:41I know.
12:42You've told me the story, and I'm sorry that...
12:43You should be grateful that you have me to protect you.
12:46I put all my time and effort into arranging a match far better than my parents ever did for me.
12:52I am grateful.
12:52I just...
12:53I'm going to put this down to nerves, and have no more talk of these childish emotions.
12:59Now go to bed.
13:28Light fingers, girl.
13:29Light.
13:30You want to buff the lacquer to a sheen, not remove it completely.
13:39Go and help, Mrs. Henderson.
13:41I know this is what I wanted.
13:43Pass it.
13:45We both never wanted them to be parents at their age, did we?
13:49What I don't want is Betsy and my grandchild living away like some dirty secret.
13:54Lena, we're both going to be grandmothers to this little baby.
13:58And you honestly think I'm going to let that happen?
14:01The old Mary never.
14:02But this new one, I won't she be more concerned, what are new rich friends think?
14:07I won't have my daughter made to feel ashamed.
14:10I will never let that happen.
14:11I won't.
14:13I love Betsy like she's one of my own, and I will protect her and that baby with everything I
14:17have.
14:19Do it.
14:27Now, I know it doesn't look like much, but I am going to fix it up.
14:32Come on.
14:33Go inside.
14:45You can decorate it.
14:46Whatever you want.
14:49Is this what you want?
14:52I want to take care of you and the baby.
14:54But do you love me?
14:56Aye, of course.
15:02Are you interested at all in whether I love you?
15:06Because you've never asked.
15:15Let's just get on with it.
15:27Morning.
15:29Morning.
15:30What are you after?
15:31I need to send a telegram.
15:37Look.
15:39I'm a straightforward bloke.
15:40I say what I think and I don't muck about.
15:43We haven't really got time at our house, have we?
15:47I'm really fond of you.
15:49Fond of me?
15:52You don't know anything about me.
15:55I know you make me laugh.
15:58I know you're someone I'd like to spend more time with.
16:00You'll get to know better.
16:02Honestly.
16:04One brief dalliance and it's all flowers and breakfast and wanting to get to know me.
16:10Fine.
16:12I'll leave you be.
16:26Let's start with the basics, shall we?
16:29You'll need a bed.
16:32A cradle.
16:34Curtains.
16:39I think we ought to have tea.
16:42Perhaps you could go downstairs and ask Maggie.
16:46Yeah, of course.
16:58I'm sorry.
17:02Best to let it out.
17:07I know he's trying.
17:10But only because he has to.
17:12He says he loves me, but he doesn't.
17:15Not really.
17:16That's not what matters.
17:22Love might come between you and Joe Hardacre.
17:28It might not.
17:32But there will be love.
17:37Because you will love your precious little baby.
17:46You can't imagine how much.
17:49What matters is that you get to stay together to be their mother.
17:56That is all that matters.
18:01Mary Hardacre may be many things, but she understands what it is to be a mother.
18:08She will keep you both safe and together.
18:18You will get through this.
18:23But you must be brave.
18:34Right.
18:38Where were we?
18:42Curtains.
18:52Well, now, isn't this pleasant, huh?
18:56A lovely family evening.
19:01Perhaps we can converse.
19:03About what?
19:05Just maybe how our days were.
19:14I heard from Sam Hardacre earlier.
19:16We are to have nothing more to do with that family.
19:19Well, your wish has been granted.
19:22He won't be investing in the vineyard.
19:24I told you it was an idiotic clan.
19:29Do you mind, old chap?
19:31Well, what?
19:32Yeah.
19:38The thing is, no Hardacre investment means no vineyard.
19:43And without that, though we can just about afford a teller's wedding, the dowry is beyond us.
19:52I'm sorry, darling.
19:54I tried.
19:56Oh, Papa.
19:58My poor, poor Papa.
20:02Maybe it's for the best.
20:04I can't possibly marry you.
20:06Leave us Adela.
20:17The date is set.
20:20Notices are published.
20:22To cancel now would be social ruin.
20:25But what about afterwards?
20:27A dowry will be expected, Abel.
20:29Adela will simply need to produce an heir as soon as possible.
20:32Well, Hugo would be the first to discover the promises made before a wedding are not always kept.
20:40You destroyed every dream I ever had.
20:45You will not take Adela's match away from me, too.
20:49She will have a proper station in this world if it's the last thing I do.
21:00Raise a glass to Joe and Betsy.
21:03Joe and Betsy.
21:04Joe and Betsy.
21:05Welcome to the family.
21:10Right.
21:11I would like to raise a glass to our Mary.
21:15For sticking up to Lady Sourface up the road.
21:18Hear, hear.
21:18That's the last time she messes with us.
21:20Aye.
21:22Right.
21:22That's enough of the speeches.
21:23Go on, Ma.
21:24It was one of your songs.
21:25Oh, go on now.
21:29Right.
21:35Last week, up my alley came a tough right.
21:39Old geezer with a nasty cough sees me.
21:43And he takes his topper off in a very gentle way.
21:46They said you could have a party without me.
21:48Harry!
21:50Why aren't you at school?
21:51Come here.
21:52Come back to home somewhere.
21:53Ma sent me a telegram.
21:55Oh, of course you did.
21:57It is to be a baby and a wedding.
21:59Stop.
22:00Not necessarily in that order.
22:02Stop.
22:03Come home.
22:04Stop.
22:05What?
22:06You've got to put it a bit more delicately.
22:08No.
22:09I don't think it's you that's pregnant, Ma.
22:12So is anyone going to tell me what I've missed?
22:14What?
22:24Blimey.
22:26I'll leave you for half a term and look what happens.
22:30Never a dull moment.
22:32How are you doing at school?
22:34It's brilliant.
22:36And how are your lessons?
22:37Keeping up with the rest of them?
22:38Top of English and arithmetic.
22:40Sorry.
22:43What are the other lads like?
22:45Have you made any friends?
22:47Oh, loads.
22:48We have a right life.
22:52I'm proud of you, son.
22:54We all are.
23:05Cheers.
23:11I'll say this for the hard acres.
23:13All the emers have worked for the Cavendishers.
23:15They never sent so much as a brandy below stairs, let alone champagne.
23:18And they'd have had Betsy Temple sent away as soon as look at her.
23:22Well, it goes to show class can be as much about how people behave as it is what they're born
23:27with.
23:46I need your help.
23:52I don't understand.
23:53I thought you said the hard acres couldn't be trusted with all this.
23:55All you need to understand is that I want it all put in back.
24:00You do the silver in the upstairs cabinet.
24:03And I'll do the china.
24:07And be careful.
24:27Aye, aye.
24:29I caught the girl red-handed.
24:31Stealing on your orders, no doubt.
24:32She wasn't stealing.
24:34I was putting them back.
24:35You're nothing but a common thief.
24:36I was keeping them safe.
24:37Keeping them safe from what?
24:42Oh.
24:43From us.
24:45It's our stuff.
24:47We bought this house as a job lot.
24:50Fixtures, fittings, and any old junk that goes with it.
24:53It is not any old junk.
24:55The contents of this house are precious.
24:58Collected and loved over generations.
25:01They ought to be appreciated, not...
25:03Not what?
25:05Not wasted on the likes of us.
25:09Right.
25:10It's clear your position here has become untenable.
25:13And I think a month's severance is more than fair.
25:17I'll be gone, first thing.
25:45I'll be gone, first thing.
25:45I'll be gone.
25:59I'll be gone.
26:12I'll be gone.
26:15Will you walk me next week?
26:17A lady can't just run off to America unaccompanied.
26:20What if I wasn't unaccompanied?
26:26I can't.
26:27You can?
26:28No, you don't understand.
26:30I'm engaged.
26:32It's a petty temple.
26:36That mouse from the docks.
26:42Does she make you feel like I do?
26:46A person can be whoever they want in America.
26:50We can be the toast of New York City.
26:55Free from the rules of our parents.
26:59You and me.
27:02I could make you so happy.
27:07I can't.
27:12I owe it to Betsy.
27:14Me to my mom and dad.
27:20We'll buy this on Thursday.
27:22Why so fast?
27:27I see.
27:29And do you love this Betsy temple?
27:37I've seen what marriage without love does to people.
27:43I'll be at the walk on Wednesday night.
27:49I'll wait for you until midnight.
27:50Oh man.
28:08I'll be right back on Wednesday night.
28:10I'd better die tonight.
28:23Ma, are you bringing a guest tomorrow?
28:26I was going to invite Ginny and Billy Three Fingers.
28:29They'll have a good do.
28:30No, you'll do no such thing.
28:32See, I was thinking of a certain groundskeeper
28:35I saw you talking to the other day.
28:37I don't know what you're insinuating,
28:40but you owed me money from poker.
28:41Oh, is that what it's about?
28:44I mean, I should have known better.
28:45A fine figure of a man like Victor
28:47would never go for a mad baggage like you.
28:53Well, we had a brief dalliance, if you must know,
28:55and he was very keen.
28:58A bit too keen for my liking.
29:00Ma, you really can't be a stubborn old woman sometimes.
29:03You know that?
29:05You shouldn't be too proud to accept a bit of love,
29:08a bit of companionship.
29:11Men are more trouble than they're worth.
29:19I thought it would be small,
29:21given the circumstances.
29:24Well, we're delighted that Betsy joined our family,
29:27and we wanted to show that.
29:29What do you think, love?
29:31It's like a fairy tale.
29:34Well, the vicar's waiting for us at the church,
29:36so let's get this rehearsal done
29:37so we know what we're doing come morning.
29:40Yeah.
29:46Tomorrow, we will gather here
29:49for the joining of two people in holy matrimony.
29:53Love is the greatest gift that life can give us.
29:58We must open our hearts
30:01and feel worthy to love and be loved.
30:06And marriage is a sacred institution,
30:12a promise to love one another
30:14for the rest of your lives,
30:16forever and ever till death do you not.
30:25I know this isn't what you would have chosen,
30:28but that baby's coming.
30:29It'll change everything for the good.
30:33You promise?
30:34Oh, Betsy.
30:36Oh, you've got to come.
30:38Oh, I've never felt love like it.
30:41I love them that much.
30:42I used to bite the little bottles.
30:47Mrs Dryden said you understood
30:49what it was to be a mother.
30:52Mrs Dryden?
30:53I shouldn't say it, but
30:55I think maybe she'll want some trouble herself.
31:01She said, how lucky,
31:03because you'd keep me and the baby together.
31:05And I will.
31:07I will, sweetheart.
31:09Come here.
31:16Come here.
31:17Come here.
31:19Come here.
31:19Come here.
31:20Come here.
31:25Come here.
31:26Come here.
31:26I like to drink.
31:28I like to curse.
31:29I like a flutter on the dogs.
31:30And I'm very happy with myself
31:31exactly the way I am.
31:32So if anything were to happen between us,
31:34if I won't be changing a thing.
31:42Fine.
31:43Right.
31:43So would you like to come to our wedding?
32:04Mrs Hardacre.
32:06I brought you a reference.
32:07It speaks of your dedication and Tyler's service.
32:11It doesn't mention the other situation.
32:16I also didn't mention the kindness
32:19that you showed Betsy.
32:21But I wanted to thank you in person for that.
32:24The girl is all right.
32:28You know, I could really use a good housekeeper
32:31to oversee the wedding tomorrow.
32:34But if you want to use that to find other work elsewhere,
32:36I don't understand.
33:12You couldn't sleep, eh?
33:14I thought I'd take myself out on a walk.
33:17Tying myself out.
33:21Nerves?
33:23Aye.
33:26I was terrified the night before my wedding.
33:30But you knew.
33:32You and Mum loved each other.
33:34I thought I did.
33:37Looking back, I'm not even sure I knew what it meant then.
33:40Me and your Mum, we were little more than kids when we got married.
33:45It was a leap of faith.
33:48But you did it all again.
33:49Ah, Joe.
33:53I'd crawl on broken glass to do it again.
33:59I know your head's been turned by this Fitzherbert girl.
34:04And all of this.
34:08But the key to a happy life isn't people you have to pretend to be something else for.
34:14The same you see you as you are, I love you anyway.
34:20Betsy knows your son.
34:22And you'll see, this is just the start.
34:27And one day you'll be telling your son the same thing.
34:35Don't wander too long.
34:38Yeah.
34:59Don't wander too late.
35:21I can't believe you're getting married.
35:23I can't believe I'm going to be living with a boy.
35:27Well, at least you don't need to be nervous about the wedding night.
35:37Sorry I've been such a rubbish friend to you, Betsy.
35:40I should have been there for you to talk to.
35:44I could say the same to you.
35:47But we're both here now.
36:04Jo?
36:06Go away.
36:08It's bad luck for you to see her before the wedding.
36:10It's alright.
36:15What's wrong?
36:22You asked me if I cared whether you love me.
36:28I do.
36:32And you're right.
36:33I pretend to be someone I'm not.
36:37Because I'm scared that no one will love me for the way I really am.
36:39Oh, Jo.
36:40I know I've given you a hundred reasons not to.
36:43But I want to be good enough for you to love.
36:46You and the baby.
36:48You really want to try?
36:49I want you.
36:53I want us to be happy Betsy.
36:56And I'd work so hard to make that happen.
37:00If you'll let me.
37:01I don't know.
37:31No, no, this simply won't do.
37:33I don't like this neckline.
37:36And it needs to be tighter in the waist.
37:39Of course, m'lady.
37:40Stand up straight, Tidella.
37:42For heaven's sake.
37:43How can the girl measure you with you slouching?
37:46Stop it!
37:49What on earth do you think you're doing?
37:52Leave us.
37:53Yes, m'lady.
37:57Well, it all sounds very lively in here.
38:00Are we having a nice time?
38:02I don't want this.
38:03That is Chinese silk.
38:05It's not the wretched silk.
38:07I don't want any of it.
38:10Not Hugo.
38:11Not this stupid wedding.
38:13Not a loveless marriage.
38:14Stop this nonsense.
38:15I don't want to end up like you.
38:20You don't have to marry him.
38:23Have you lost your mind?
38:25I may never have been more sane.
38:27Oh, I know there's no hope for us, but maybe there's some for Adela.
38:31Don't do this to me.
38:32She is my daughter.
38:35I love her.
38:38And I will not fail her anymore.
38:42I'll take social ruin before I condemn her to the same unhappiness we have wasted our lives enduring.
38:55You don't want this marriage?
38:57No.
39:02Then there will be no wedding.
39:34I need the summer.
39:47I'll be on course for the wedding breakfast.
39:54It's so beautiful.
39:56You'll be changing, I hope.
39:58I most certainly will not.
40:00Just so you know, I'll be bringing a gentleman friend to the ceremony.
40:04Oh.
40:13May you have a wonderful day.
40:16What the...
40:17Thank you, Mrs. Dryden.
40:18And welcome back.
40:31What's all this?
40:33Something of a hobby.
40:34I thought a photograph would be a nice memento of the day.
40:38It's a cracking idea.
40:40You better get down to the church before Betsy comes down.
40:43Harry, have you got the rings?
40:46Harry.
40:49Very funny.
40:51I'm serious.
40:52Harry, you want one bloody job?
40:53I know they've got to be here somewhere.
40:54Oh, no, no, no, no.
40:55Joe can't be seeing Betsy.
40:57We don't need any more bad luck.
40:58Harry's lost the rings.
40:59You boys should be at the church already.
41:00Hang on.
41:01I found him.
41:03Harry.
41:03Lucky for you.
41:05It's a little unconventional, but shall we have a picture now, given we're all here?
41:11Aye.
41:12We've never been ones for a convention anyway.
41:17You ready?
41:18Well, are you?
41:21Yes.
41:23Weddings.
41:24What a bloody fuzzy.
41:25Oh, no.
41:26It's nice for Betsy, but you won't catch me doing it.
41:28Sorry, Lizzie.
41:29If you could just move slightly to the...
41:34Beautiful.
41:36Let's see about that.
41:40Herring on three.
41:44One, two, three.
41:46Herring!
41:58And then we all lived happily ever after.
42:02Well, it's certainly looking that way.
42:06Let's go.
42:11Yeah.
42:14Okay.
42:20Bye.
42:21Bye.
42:24Bye.
42:28Bye.
