00:00In 1882, meteorologists invented a new way to measure wind force, the Beaufort scale.
00:25It has 12 classes and ranges from total calm to hurricane force.
00:30The force of that storm takes away your vision and makes the rest of the world disappear.
00:39If I had known that a storm could feel like this, I would have been on the lookout for it earlier.
00:47So this is what it looks like when you're aware of my expectations, is it?
00:51If I were headmaster Lexington, I wouldn't be happy that the organizer of the gala party snuck off for a little time here.
01:08While in the hall, everything was kicking off.
01:10You better see what you can do.
01:17Okay.
01:17Okay.
01:17Come on.
01:33Take care.
01:36Okay.
01:36Bye.
01:37Bye.
01:37Bye.
01:40Time to go.
02:10Straight away.
02:17Hi.
02:18Good to see you.
02:19What a lovely home.
02:20Hi.
02:37Lydia?
02:40Here we go.
02:50How much of that was done?
02:52How long are we doing?
02:54I guess the fuse is blown.
03:20That's one way of saying it.
03:24I'm Ruby, Lakehamton at 10 o'clock.
03:32Sir, it seems a problem with one of the cables.
03:35The system is not exactly that modern, is it?
03:36I thought that something truly awful was about to happen again.
03:39But the Gower's a total success.
03:41The Nations are coming in and the party guests still have all their clothes on.
03:46The original's been sent to the admissions office at Oxford and should be arriving there any day now.
03:51It'll be attached to your application.
03:52Thank you, sir.
03:56Miss Bell?
04:05Ruby Bell, who has attended our institution for two years now, is not only an outstanding candidate for Oxford University, she would be an asset!
04:12My goodness!
04:14Okay, a committee group photo.
04:15For the Hall of Fame.
04:17Okay.
04:18What you pulled today was the greatest affront I have ever had to endure from you two.
04:24You waited for the most important moment of the decade for Beaufort, only to pull off a twin-swapping stunt like something out of a god-awful film!
04:32Well, at a time when everything has been done to make this happen, you seriously have the gall to show up there tonight to represent our company?
04:44You know that everything about that speech, every detail, was written and learned perfectly by me.
04:49That doesn't change the fact that everything you touch comes to a catastrophic end!
04:53You've always been like that, ever since you were little.
04:55You being number one, that was always everything.
04:58But you need discipline for that!
05:00And that's not something you...
05:01Without me, there wouldn't have been a press conference.
05:02And you're lucky that as you went into the press room, I was able to pull you up, before the only good thing you've ever done for this family was destroyed by you.
05:14Which brings us to you.
05:16Our Casanova.
05:19Our special little self-styled Romeo.
05:21Who doesn't give a shit about family matters if they don't fit into his schedule.
05:25Who comes crawling on his knees about his damned lacrosse training issues, but doesn't fight for the company at an important time.
05:31When he has all of our trust to do what he promised he would!
05:41What is it?
05:45Is there something you want to say?
05:50Cheers!
05:53To Ruby and to Oxford!
05:55Oxford!
05:55I can't believe you got your letter of recommendation from Lexington of all people.
06:03Yeah, I got mine from Miss Hsu. I really had to suck up to her.
06:06I'll be back.
06:06Oh, yeah, sure, Ruby. Okay.
06:09See you later, Ruby.
06:13Mr. Sutton.
06:15May I?
06:17Yeah, of course.
06:18Of course.
06:18I'm pretty sure I've not thanked you.
06:32So thanks?
06:34To me?
06:36I don't think I would have made it through the first week here if it weren't for you.
06:39You're a role model for me.
06:46An Oxford pupil from a town even smaller than mine.
06:54Until I'm where I want to be, I will continue to fight.
07:01Promise.
07:01Promise.
07:02Now, James, is this it?
07:26Do you only open your mouth for your new little girlfriend to stick your tongue down her throat?
07:47May I ask how you envision your future with this person?
07:51Do you want to move into some hovel in Gormsey
07:53and push your father-in-law around in his wheelchair every day?
07:56Have you been stalking her?
08:02This girl will never become more than a little gold-digging woman
08:05who'd sleep with someone over achieving something herself.
08:09And I will not allow this to happen.
08:10Shut your mouth.
08:15Come again.
08:22Say any more about Ruby Bell and you'll be-
08:24Do you mind allowing me to speak to my son?
08:48I've been able to do some research on Ruby Bell.
08:51I've found out that her father has to rely on his wife's income because of his disability.
08:55I've found out that her account is overdrawn every month
08:58because her shabby bakery doesn't make nearly enough.
09:01I've found out that her little sister's committing copyright theft
09:05with some of the pictures on her blog
09:06and that the house they live in after 18 years has been close to repossession.
09:11You will never speak to this girl again.
09:17You see, one call is enough.
09:19And that would see the end of her bursary.
09:21I can see to it as well
09:23that her family will soon have to depend on getting subsidized housing
09:27and that Oxford no longer considers her a good student.
09:30I am able to destroy them without even thinking.
09:40I am able to destroy them without even thinking.
10:00I am able to destroy them without even thinking.
10:18Hey, can I hover your room now?
10:36Yeah.
10:45And there they are, the incomparable.
10:48Unforgettable Beaufort twins.
10:50Lydia Beaufort looks outrageously good as always and, hmm, I hope she has a license
10:54for that awful dead stare.
10:55Especially for you, idiots.
10:58Yeah.
10:59Oh, Captain, my Captain, did Elaine get frisky with the Dallas to beat you up?
11:04Oh, an issue with the dog.
11:05Oh, yeah.
11:06Of course.
11:07Hey, I heard that you were also at the gala, why not tell us you were going to come?
11:12All us boys got so trashed in the library.
11:14We'll do it again.
11:15How about tonight?
11:16Cyril looks like he's up for a bit of hair of the dog.
11:17I need the whole dog.
11:18Yep.
11:19We'll wrap fourth period up and then...
11:20Planning!
11:21As long as the planning doesn't become this complicated...
11:23Hey, can we talk?
11:24Here.
11:25On school grounds.
11:26All the eyes.
11:27Look, I mean later.
11:28Look at yours.
11:29Not interested.
11:30Come on.
11:31Please.
11:32Hey, guys.
11:33What do you reckon?
11:34Are you coming on board with us?
11:36Are you going for it again?
11:37Yeah.
11:38Well, I'm still pretty wiped out from yesterday.
11:39You had lots of fun then, yeah?
11:40This is the last school year when we'll be together.
11:41What's the plan?
11:42Cyril say it.
11:43I'll rave until we see the sun.
11:44I'm sorry.
11:45What did you say?
11:46Rave until the sun.
11:47Exactly.
11:48Let's go.
11:49That's it.
11:50Let's enjoy our last school year together.
11:51Are we going to get hammered over?
11:52Yeah, there he is.
11:53The Jane is both what I know.
11:54Where have you been hiding him these last few weeks?
11:55He threw some balls back then, yeah?
11:56Yeah, just in time for a party.
11:57Everything okay, buddy?
11:58Yeah.
11:59All pretty shitty.
12:00And you?
12:01I'm ignoring my secret boyfriend so that he'll give me some attention or I'll give up.
12:02And?
12:03How's it going?
12:04Great.
12:05We're getting married tomorrow.
12:06Lydia.
12:31Is everything okay?
12:38Yeah.
12:39What's happened?
12:44I'm late for my lesson.
12:57Let's move on.
12:59What?
13:00You said you would run away with me, remember?
13:02You'll get your diploma elsewhere.
13:03There'll be a new job.
13:04You don't want it.
13:05You said that.
13:06Forget what I said to you in the past.
13:08I can't take this.
13:09You say that now.
13:10And sometimes you and you'll talk about responsibility.
13:12I absolutely want this, Lydia.
13:13I love you.
13:19That doesn't change the fact that-
13:20I love you, Lydia.
13:21You love this job.
13:22I absolutely love you, Lydia.
13:31You'll get back right away.
13:32I'll see you later.
13:33Go away.
13:34Go away.
13:35Come on, let's leave.
13:37Go away.
13:38Go away.
13:40Go away.
13:42Go away.
13:45The choice is yours.
13:46What's made you go crazy?
13:47The choice is yours.
13:50What's made you go crazy?
13:56Come to the cafe at 5 on Thursday, and then we'll plan everything.
13:59Ruby, hello?
14:17I said that Oxford is sending out invitations for the interviews already.
14:21And Jessie said that hers had already come.
14:23What, really?
14:24Yeah, Jessalyn.
14:29That was great.
14:30Megan will come.
14:31Of course.
14:32With her-
14:40I started to see her jedi.
14:41And it was a beautiful one year on YouTube.
14:43What am I saying?
14:44We still had weekends if youああ and you all have to come and learn the jobs.
14:49But it shows us you will never get mad a cookie.
14:55Hey, you're good?
15:23Mr. Hughes, can I go to the toilet?
15:25Hey, James!
15:26Your girlfriend is here!
15:27Ruby!
15:28Get behind him.
15:30Go get her, tiger!
15:32Go get her, tiger!
15:34Go get her, tiger!
15:35Rawr!

15:49Go get her, tiger!
15:50Go get her, tiger!
15:51Move some more!
15:52Well?
15:53Could you take that thing off?
15:54I'm not one of them.
15:55Are you ignoring me?
15:56Why do you think that?
15:57You're being an arsehole, that's for sure.
15:58Am I?
15:59I'd rather you stop playing dumb and tell me what this ignoring is.
16:00Was that the plan?
16:01Make some moves on Ruby so she puts in a good word with Lexington.
16:02Coming!
16:03Go!
16:04Go!
16:05Go!
16:06Go!
16:07Go!
16:08Go!
16:09Go!
16:10I'm not one of them.
16:11I'm not one of them.
16:12Are you ignoring me?
16:13Why do you think that?
16:14You're being an arsehole, that's for sure.
16:15Am I?
16:16I'd rather you stop playing dumb and tell me what this ignoring is.
16:19Come out!
16:20Keep it up!
16:21What's that the plan?
16:26Make some moves on Ruby so she puts in a good word with Lexington.
16:30joining?
16:33придум an enemy?
16:34Go!
16:35Go!

16:49Go!
16:50Go!
16:51Go!
16:52Go!
16:53Tell me what's up?
16:55What happened that night?
16:56Nothing.
16:57Did your father do that?
16:58What? Did you think we'd frolic hand in hand through flower meadows or something? It was just a kiss?
17:08It was more than a kiss.
17:17Did you actually start to believe someone like me would be interested in a car like you?
17:23Why are you being so cruel?
17:31I'm sorry if you didn't understand what this was.
17:36But it's time to go back to how things were, Robin.
17:48Let's go boys! Ready!
17:53Let's go!
17:54Let's go!
17:56Let's go!
17:57Let's go!
18:00Come on!
18:01I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you.
18:31Ray, can you come here please?
18:52What is it?
18:57What's this?
19:15Sweetheart?
19:18You stay here, I want you to stop this.
19:25I'm saving up for it.
19:32I don't need much more in there.
19:34I don't need this.
19:37Sweetheart, you have so much on your plate already.
19:41This is not anything that should concern you, it's for us to worry about.
19:44Then it's all just a load of shit.
19:47That we do things in this family to help each other, support each other.
19:50No, that's not it.
19:51I won't have you struggling and doing extra work for me whilst dealing with school enrollment.
19:54I don't think I could contribute anything less.
19:56And I would always do more stuff just to make up for it if it was down to me.
19:59What do you mean by that?
20:08Please do not pretend that it's not down to me that you need a shitty lift in the first place.
20:12Ruby?
20:25Is everything okay?
20:27Just kidding.
20:28I'll go ahead and have this one.
20:30That's why it's gone now, but yes.
20:34I'll leave.
20:37Of course.
20:42Oh, my God.
21:12Hi. Hey, Mom.
21:17James, hey.
21:20Come on. Stand up.
21:22Come on.
21:25Come on.
21:31What's happened, huh?
21:34Miranda. It was run across.
21:37It was a stick.
21:38He hit me with a stick.
21:39Oh, God.
21:42Come on. Let's get you into bed.
22:06Mom.
22:08Yeah.
22:12Ever dreamt you were someone else?
22:15I think everyone wishes that sometimes.
22:29So were you sad then?
22:30I was in love, but unhappy.
22:43I think everyone has a moment in life.
22:46There's a particular point, I mean.
22:49When it becomes more apparent who they are.
22:52And they don't go after everything or the wrong person.
23:00I became obsessed with work.
23:03Then I became a mother.
23:04And him?
23:10He followed a different path.
23:15Sometimes being together is just no good.
23:18Even their love can't bind them together.
23:20And it's better...
23:22It's better to let go.
23:25What if letting go is too difficult?
23:27What if letting go is too difficult?
23:57You can handle more than you think when you believe what you're doing is the right thing
24:04to do. Try to sleep a bit now, okay? Good night.
24:27Yeah! Offer, bitches! I'm invited too! I've got an offer!
24:39Everything okay? Yeah, of course. Still on our post? Hey, I don't know anybody who put
24:50as much work into their application as you did. You'll get your offer. You just have
24:57to be patient. Oxygen is helpful. Breathe.
25:01Thanks. Hey! Look who's here, our little mermaid. You're doing exceptionally well dealing with
25:27being dumped by him, you know. Such a shame I missed the big moment. It was so dramatic,
25:33everybody said. James! James! How come? My love, I can't be for us! James!
25:46You know, right from the beginning, anyone who wasn't aware that it wouldn't work is not just blind.
25:52They're also dumb.
25:57Whatever, Elaine. You can have him. He's all yours.
26:14You know, you say you're too!
26:16You know, I let him.
26:17You know, I will be out of here.
26:18I love you.
26:19I love you.
26:20You know...
26:21I love you.
26:22I love you.
26:23I love you.
26:24I love you.
26:26I love you.
26:27You know, everybody.
26:28What the hell?
26:29I love you.
26:31How am I?
26:32You know, I love you!
26:33I love you.
26:38I love you.
26:40Like you.
26:41I love you.
26:42I love you.
26:43Are you okay?
27:09I'd be better if we could start concentrating. Not everyone is a friend in the teacher's lounge.
27:18What's happening with Graham and me isn't what you think you know.
27:21I don't think anything.
27:23You think that I seduce my teacher. Or he seduced me.
27:27Considering it was you first on that day Ruby caught us that I came to,
27:31it's strange that you never asked about Graham and me or what was going on.
27:34Well, it's not like we tell each other about everything.
27:38We began emailing each other for months before.
27:51He was the first person I met who was interested in me without knowing my name.
27:57I only knew that he was in the middle of studying. Nothing else.
28:03He was the first person I spoke to when I woke up every morning.
28:07And the last I wished goodnight before sleeping.
28:10I don't know what I expected the first time we met, but suddenly there was this man in front of me.
28:22It was obvious there would be hell from Dad if it ever were to come out.
28:27But something told me that I shouldn't care less.
28:33I'd already been in love with him before we'd even met.
28:36When Graham got the job at Maxton Hall, it was immediately clear that we couldn't carry on.
28:45The situation that Ruby came into was kind of a one-off.
28:51You allowed yourself to have feelings for him.
28:54A rookie error.
28:58Pretty pathetic, aren't we?
28:59Emotionally crippled and completely useless.
29:01So shameful to the name Beaufort.
29:02Yeah, at least we're not alone.
29:04No.
29:17We're not.
29:18I promise you that.
29:34Horus.
29:48They say it's a matter of time.
29:51A thousand days and the sun won't shine.
29:53Before I come back to you.
29:57When I'm happy.
29:58Nothing's going to stop me.
30:00I'll make my way home, I'll make my way
30:04For your love, I will go far
30:08I'm gonna be wherever you are
30:10I know I'm coming back for you
30:13My love is a ramble on
30:16James?
30:18You coming?
30:21You coming?
30:21Thank you!
30:30I go solo, oh I go solo
30:34I'll make my way home, I'll make my way
31:00I'll make my way home, I'll make my way
31:30Did you have a nice day?
31:42My shortbread pyramid was 20 stories in total
31:44My own record was broken
31:46I'm sorry that I...
31:50Me too
31:50I...
31:58I've thought a lot about what you said
32:01And our family is in many ways world class
32:07But not when it comes to discussing things that hurt
32:10And I guess I'm grateful and wanted to thank you for doing it
32:15After the accident, we were so focused on carrying on that
32:20Well, you know, we never really properly discussed what happened
32:24But the accident didn't affect only me
32:28It also affected you all
32:30And had consequences for us all
32:32Hmm?
32:38If I hadn't been born, it wouldn't have happened
32:40You've no way of knowing that
32:45And then you wouldn't be here, Ruby
32:47And what bloody good will my stupid feet be if you're not here?
32:51This is my destiny, this is
32:54My own fate
32:56My life
33:00My life is fulfilled
33:02And I'm thankful for every second
33:07Standing
33:09Oh yeah
33:11Or sitting
33:12Okay?
33:14I'd still like to contribute some money to the lift
33:22Oh, you can use your money on teenage things like theatre
33:24Or, I don't know, dance parties
33:26If you like all that
33:27I'd rather be able to shout at you to get out of my room like a real teenager
33:31Okay
33:32Point accepted
33:33What's the matter with you two?
33:52This came for you
33:53Come on, read it
34:07Go on
34:07Dear Ruby Bell, we are extremely delighted to inform you that you have
34:16Okay, show me what you have
34:34You're on my stuff
34:37Oh
34:38And?
34:43Ten out of ten Oxford points
34:45I wrinkled it
34:48Let me iron it real quick
34:49Although this would be the perfect moment for me to get you back
34:52You'll be happy to hear that's not something I would do
34:54Here
34:58That's the current prize for the we'll never talk about it again dress
35:02You repaired it
35:03I'm hoping it goes up to five hundred
35:04Then we can get the lift for him
35:06No!
35:11No!
35:15I have brought you something to pack, my love
35:28I'm sure it will bring you as much luck as it brought me
35:35Your grandfather would be proud of you
35:38And we are too
35:39I guess a thank you
35:48Or just a bit of respected
35:50Thank you, Mum
35:51For a couple more kilos of sentimental weight
35:52And expectations on my shoulders
35:53Anxiety is part of every life change
35:59Next year, when you're on campus
36:01I guarantee you'll be laughing about all the fuss you made
36:03You'll like Oxford, I promise
36:05What if I don't?
36:07Would that change anything?
36:07What do you mean by that?
36:11What if I hate it?
36:13Or say that I have had enough
36:15That I don't want to carry the face of young Beaufort anymore
36:18Or be anything to do with the running of the company
36:20What then?
36:23You have access to one of the best universities in the world
36:26To the leadership of one of the most prestigious businesses in England
36:30A safety net that will always catch you
36:32You have the chance to make it to the very top, should you choose
36:35I can't believe you don't understand how lucky you are
36:39Happiness isn't the same for everyone
36:40Remember you said that?
36:43Good
36:44If this isn't what you want
36:47What do you want then?
36:48The chance to go out there and find out
36:53James, you're still so young
37:02I don't want you to regret blowing the chances
37:05That this family has been able to give you
37:07With my parents and I there was no understanding
37:15But today I'm eternally grateful to them
37:17Because Beaufort is my home, my history
37:21So of course it's automatically mine as well
37:23Your parents went to Oxford
37:27You and Dad went to Oxford
37:28So of course I have to go to Oxford
37:30You took over the company
37:32I'll take over the company as well
37:34You can expect me to behave
37:37I won't step out of line
37:40It's not in my genes
37:43Come with me
38:02My love
38:06To the sea
38:08The sea of love
38:11Is everything okay, my darling?
38:41That's the day
38:43I knew you were my pain
38:47I wanna tell you
38:52How much
38:56I love you
39:00I love you
39:06I wanna tell you
39:27How much
39:30I love you
39:35Whole books have been written about the calm before the storm
39:43But hardly any about what comes after
39:46A moment when the noise around us dies down
39:49And we are left alone with what we have done
39:51And a silence
39:53And a silence
39:53That is deafening
39:54There are people who carry around a kind of compass
40:02People who say the right thing
40:05At the right moment
40:06Do the right thing
40:09And feel the right thing
40:12I love you
40:13I love you
40:14I love you
40:15I love you
40:16Tennessee
40:17The sea of love
40:20These people find happiness
40:22No matter what life throws their way
40:24I love you
40:25How much
40:29I love you
40:31I love you
40:32I love you
40:33I love you
40:34I love you
40:38Yeah, so for registration
40:42You just have to follow them over there
40:44And the whole way just stay to the left
40:45And then you're there
40:46Okay, cool
40:47Thanks
40:48You'll be fine
40:52Do you need help?
40:56No, thank you
40:58I'll manage
40:59Come on
41:04Thank you
41:05No problem
41:06You're here for the interviews
41:08So the accommodation is
41:10Go straight on
41:11It'll be on your right
41:12Thank you
41:13All good
41:16Great to meet you
41:17Then
41:26And then there are the other kind of people
41:40Whose compass is broken
41:42Who at the right moment
41:46Make the wrong decision
41:48And the only way to stay sane
41:50Is to keep looking ahead
41:52To never look backwards
41:54Come back forwards
41:59A surefire method
42:05If you can stick to it
42:07If you can stick to it
42:10Merez
