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