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?
03:17He, excuse me, Emma gives them to her.
03:21Are you able to get up, get dressed.
03:25Right.
03:26Get ready.
03:27Then you call me with me.
03:31Beesley?
03:31Beesley, carriage please.
03:34Wilson, carriage.

10:49you
10:50you
11:13You dare to show your face, then?
11:15That's all it's about, sir.
11:17Depends.
11:18What you've got to say for yourself.
11:21Let them top them.
11:24I want us to get married.
11:28We can live in a cottage on the estate, and I'll provide for you and the baby.
11:34Come up to the house tomorrow.
11:55Mama.
11:56Mama.
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.
12:35Half 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...
12:53Let me put this down to nerves.
12:55And have no more talk of these childish emotions.
12:59Now go to bed.
13:27Light fingers, girl.
13:29Light.
13:30You want to buff the lacquer to a sheen, not remove it completely.
13:39Go and help, Mrs. Henderson.
13:45We 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.
13:58Do you honestly think I'm going to let that happen?
14:01The old Mary never.
14:02But this new one.
14:04Why won't she be more concerned what her 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 to your 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.
16:27Let's start with the basics, shall we?
16:29Maggie, you'll need a bed, a cradle, curtains.
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.
17:17That's not what matters.
17:23Love 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 babe.
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.
18:22But you must be brave.
18:35Right.
18:38Where were we?
18:42Curtains.
18:52Well, now, isn't this pleasant, huh?
18:56Lovely 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.
19:34Yeah.
19:38The thing is, no Hardacre investment means no vineyard.
19:44And without that, though we can just about afford Adela'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, Emma.
20:29Adela will simply need to produce an heir as soon as possible.
20:33Hugo would be the first to discover the promises made before a wedding.
20:37Are 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.
20:52If it's the last thing I do.
21:00Raise a glass to Joe and Betsy.
21:03Joe 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 Sour Face up the road.
21:18Here, here.
21:19That's the last time she messes with us.
21:20Aye.
21:22Right.
21:22That's enough of the speeches.
21:23Go on, Emma.
21:24Give us one of your songs.
21:25Oh, go on now.
21:26Oh, go on now.
21:29Right.
21:35Last week, up my alley came a toff.
21:38Right, old geezer with a nasty cough.
21:42Seize me, and he takes his topper off.
21:45In the very...
21:46Don't you said you could have a party without me.
21:48Harry!
21:49Why aren't you at school?
21:51Come here.
21:52Come back 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?
22:24Blimey.
22:26I'll leave you for half a term, and look what happens.
22:30Never a dull moment.
22:33How 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.
22:40I'm so sorry.
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 your son.
22:54We all are.
23:05Cheers.
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.
24:04And be careful.
24:26Aye, 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.
24:49Fixtures, 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.
25:21I'll be right back.
25:59What are you doing out here alone?
26:06I have a secret to tell you.
26:09I'm running away.
26:11To America.
26:13There's a ship from Liverpool to New York next week.
26:16Look, a 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 Betsy 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.
27:14It's to me, 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.
28:13I'll wait for you until midnight.
28:23Ma, are you bringing a guest tomorrow?
28:26I was going to invite Ginny.
28:27And Billy Three Fingers will have a good do.
28:30No.
28:31He'll do no such thing.
28:32See, I was thinking of a certain groundskeeper I saw you talking to the other day.
28:37I don't know what you're insinuating, but you owed me money from poker.
28:42Oh, is that what it's about?
28:44I mean, I should have known better.
28:46A fine figure of a man like Victor would never go for a mad baggage like you.
28:53Well, we had a brief dalliance, if you must know, and he was very keen.
28:58A bit too keen for my liking.
29:00Ma, you really can't be a stubborn old woman sometimes.
29:03Do you know that you shouldn't be too proud to accept a bit of love, a bit of companionship.
29:11Men are more trouble than they're worth.
29:14Oh.
29:17Crikey.
29:19I thought it would be small, given the circumstances.
29:24Well, we're delighted that Betsy joined our family, and 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, so let's get this rehearsal done so we know what we're
29:38doing come morning.
29:47Tomorrow, we will gather here for the joining of two people in holy matrimony.
29:52Love is the greatest gift that life can give us.
29:59We must open our hearts and feel worthy to love and be loved.
30:06And marriage is a sacred institution, a promise to love one another for the rest of your lives, forever and
30:18ever to the death of you.
30:25I know this isn't what you would have chosen, but 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 what it was to be a mother.
30:52Mrs. Dryden?
30:53I shouldn't say it, but I think maybe she was once in 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.
31:26Right.
31:27I like to drink.
31:28I like to curse.
31:29I like to flutter on the dogs.
31:30And I'm very happy with myself exactly the way I am.
31:32So, if anything were to happen between us, if I won't be changing a thing.
31:42Fine.
31:43Right.
31:43So, would you like to come to our wedding?
32:04Mrs. Hardacre, I brought you a reference.
32:08It speaks of your dedication and Tyler's service.
32:10It doesn't mention the other situation.
32:16I also didn't mention the kindness that 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 to oversee the wedding tomorrow.
32:34But if you want to use that to find other work elsewhere, I don't understand.
32:38It doesn't check out your phone.
32:54No, don't even check out.
32:58But you don't know what the pressures are going to do to you,
33:12You couldn't sleep, eh?
33:14I thought I'd set myself out on a walk.
33:17Tired 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 a 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, and love you anyway.
34:20Betsy knows you, 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 wonder, Tilly.
35:21I can't believe you're getting married.
35:24I 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.
35:37I'm sorry 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.
35:47We'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 all right.
36:15What's wrong?
36:22You asked me if I cared whether you love me.
36:28I do.
36:32You'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?
36:53I want us to be happy, Betsy.
36:56And I'll work so hard to make that happen.
37:00If you'll let me.
37:17I want you to be happy, Betsy.
37:18I want you to be happy, Betsy.
37:18I want you to be happy, Betsy.
37:18I want you to be happy, Betsy.
37:18I want you to be happy, Betsy.
37:18I want you to be happy, Betsy.
