Harry
But this is a complex situation
Sitex is just a part of your empire.
I asked for an explanation.
Emma, we've been friends for
We've known each other for 40 years.
..I'd like to move
You bitch!
Well, you won.
He lost.
He actually got himself into
You're on TV.
Mrs Emma Harte,
is at the centre
of the multi-million dollar
Earlier today,
Naturally, I am shocked, stunned.
I founded the original company
Liar.
Harry rode on his coattails.
You've been to several
Do you think you could cope alone?
They'd eat me alive!
You can't be serious?
Well, of course I'm serious.
But I won't send you in alone until
Well, I'm willing to try,
No buts, I know
I raised you, I trained you.
Don't you think I know
Why don't you send in Robin or Kit?
Because even my maternal eye
lack the killer instinct.
This could be extremely dangerous.
Don't be ridiculous.
I don't know, Robin.
Everyone who's kicked out
But we can handle it.
Money has always meant more to her
And she'll end up losing first.
She's nearly 80, for God's sake.
Robin, if we could just wait.
She's such a tough old warhorse,
Look, she's past it.
It'll be easy.
I've got people standing by,
It might be difficult
She'll step down to avoid a scandal.
She'll hate the world to know
Hello, yes?
Yes.
It's Gaye calling for you
Gaye!
I was going to call you
Well, can you give me
No.
No, I see.
Right. Thank you, Gaye.
Change of plan.
Good morning, Mrs Harte.
Are you going to tell me
I thought I could trust
That's the worst part.
It was Mr Ainsley and Mr Lowther.
Robin?
And Kit?
I never
I never thought
I suppose a mother doesn't want to
I didn't know what to do.
I thought you should know.
You did the right thing, Gaye.
Thank you.
And, by the way
..I don't want Paula
this plot,
Yes, of course, Mrs Harte.
'She's nearly 80,
'Robin, we could just wait.'
'Wait?
'She's such a tough old warhorse,
'Look, she's past it. It'll be easy.
'I've got people standing by,
'It might be difficult
'She'll step down
'She'll hate the world to know
Good morning.
Mr Rossiter, Mrs Harte.
Hello, Emma.
Hope I'm not late.
What's wrong, Emma?
Wrong? Nothing.
I've been your financial adviser
and constant admirer
You're a creature of habit.
When you make an appointment
on a day when you're supposed to be
It's nothing serious.
I want to liquidate
and I thought you could handle it
Yes. Yes, yes, of course, but
It's all right, Henry.
I just need a little cash,
So I thought I'd get rid
jewellery,
And here's the list.
Do sit down, Henry, dear.
A little cash?
This represents
I reckoned about
what do you think, Henry, dear?
I think you've gone mad.
Why do you suddenly need
You're in trouble, aren't you?
Come on, now, Henry,
I have a personal project in mind,
I never wear that jewellery,
and anyway, I was never very fond
and the real estate
Yes, I mean, the art collection,
you have spent so much time and love
With your help, and I'm grateful.
It's-It's an absolutely wonderful
In that case, it should fetch
Will you handle it for me?
But won't you tell me what it's for?
How long will it take to liquidate?
A month.
Don't look so miserable,
What are you doing about that cough?
Well, I'm taking some stuff
What's this?
Never fails. Old Yorkshire remedy.
You are quite incorrigible.
Well, the whole coordination
We've lost the point of the scheme.
I'd like to see the buyer
Yes, Mrs Harte.
Gaye, I want you to have the lawyers
and then they can bring them in
Yes, Mrs Harte.
The documents must be irreversible,
I must be absolutely sure they could
in any court of law.
'ready to join us in a takeover.
'It might be difficult
I had thought of staying here
just to check up on the new store.
Why the sudden interest
Could it be Jim Fairley,
Don't be ridiculous.
Not any more.
I'm glad.
You're angry, Grandy,
Why this vendetta?
How can you hate someone, a whole
Well, let's just say,
and I don't want you hurt.
Please, Grandy, you talk to me
Why do you employ Jim Fairley
Well, he's good at his job.
And I don't hate Jim personally.
I-I-I-I would truly like
Hilda!
There's no-one else here yet.
Mr Robin telephoned to say
Did he?
Hello, Miss Paula.
Miss Edwina's on her way.
You'd better not call her
Do remember it's Lady Dunvale.
Not to me, it's not.
I thought we were having
Why have you invited the others?
It's so nice
Why don't you go for a ride?
God!
They're arriving already.
I'm off.
Well, there's Kit and June.
And dear Robin.
Good God,
I thought
Well, perhaps they're hatching
Elizabeth, of course, will be late.
I can't remember,
She always has a husband,
Grandy, you've had several yourself.
Yes, but they didn't get younger
Go on, you must
You mean go away
Let them know I don't
Henry? Emma.
'I've got the final figures.'
Yeah?
That's very good.
Now, I want you to transfer that
That's ridiculous.
You can't put £9 million
Now, why on Earth you
Well, I may want to go shopping.
Stop playing with me, Emma. Nobody
It depends on what you're buying.
Thought you'd fancy a cup of tea.
And I'm supposed to be
Thank you.
How's that grandson of yours?
Job working out?
Thank you for recommending him.
He asked to be remembered to you.
Kit.
'It might be difficult
Emma!
What are you doing?
Look what you've done,
You ought to pay for that
Come on. Hurry up.
Come in.
Tea, ma'am.
Where's Polly?
I don't want anything.
You may go.
I've done the plants, Mrs Turner.
And I cleaned the vegetables.
Ooh, and I've checked the fires.
So I'll be off.
It's my afternoon off,
Maybe
maybe not.
There's all this silver
I'll come in extra early
Me mam's sick
She'll catch up tomorrow.
Thanks, Mrs Turner.
Now, drop it once and for all, lad,
or thee'll feel me strap
Tha's not too old yet
You'll come back one day
Shut up, Dad!
What's got into you? Shouting and
You should know better!
Now, sit down and have your tea.
Or I'll be the one that runs away,
and then where will all of you be,
Come on, Frank, make the tea.
Mam?
Emma.
Is that you?
Come on, Mam.
There y'are.
Tha's not going into the Navy!
And that's the last I'll hear of it
You're underage.
I said stop it, both of you!
Come on, Dad. Our Winston
That's all talk. You're wrong,
I mean it. And I'll do it.
Morning, Mam.
It's a lovely day.
It's ever so bright.
I looked out, I could see right over
It was as clear as a bell.
What do you want, our lad?
Tha' looks a mite better, love.
I am, John.
I'll be better soon enough.
Bye, Mam. See you later.
I love thee, Elizabeth.
I love thee, too, John.
Till the day I die.
Get your coat on, young Frank,
I'm going, I were just reading
It's money, not books,
And we need every penny,
with the medicine
Come on.
Please, God, make our mam better.
Don't be late.
Ooh!
Blast!
I'm lost in this blasted fog.
Can you be pointing me
The cat's got her tongue,
Just show me the path
I'm going to Fairley Hall myself.
Well, thank you.
Er, well, let's be marching, then.
It's devilish cold here.
Why are you going to the hall, then?
Well, it's for repairing
and a few odd jobs. It was himself
Kind and generous man he is,
Where are you from? Not these parts.
The best place in the world.
And what might you be called?
Well, pleased to be meeting you,
Shane O'Neill's the name,
So, you live in Leeds, then.
It is a grand town,
A veritable metropolis.
There's great arcades with shops
and the gents, too. The sort
Silk and satin bows and hats
Fancy stockings.
Sure, all your little heart
Here.
There it is. There's the hall.
Mary, mother of Jesus.
That's the ugliest house
Here, here, here, wait for me!
And what time do you call this time
like there's no tomorrow? I'd about
I'm sorry, Mrs Turner.
Well, don't stand there gawping
get a move on.
I set off in time, I did, really,
but it was ever so foggy
Who's this, then?
It's the builder
His name's Shane O'Neill,
Do they, now?
Good morning to you, Mrs Turner.
Irish? Well, I don't hold that
You're a strong lad and there's
How's Polly, Mrs Turner? Still
You'll have to do her work
I'll make a start.
Go and sit by the fire and get warm.
And you can have a mug of hot broth
Would you like a cup, lad? I would,
You can make the beds before lunch.
And don't forget,
Set the table for breakfast.
You can black-lead the grates
but light the morning room fire,
do the carpets,
What's all this? What's all this?
You're in dereliction of your duty,
That good for nothing should have
Squire's not in
She does little enough as it is.
Well, what are you waiting for now?
Stupid little sod! Look at the mess
You nasty bugger!
It was only an accident,
If I ever see you strike that girl
I'll tell her father.
And you know what's in store for you
Are you all right, love?
You're-You're O'Neill?
Right?
Yes, Squire said to expect you.
Well, it's all on here,
You can read, I suppose?
Now, about your wages,
15 shillings for a week's work
that's what the Squire instructed.
One guinea was the price the Squire
and, er, one guinea it is,
Watch where you're going.
Yes, please.
Morning, Murgatroyd.
I hope you're feeling better.
Morning.
How are you, old chap?
You must get some colour
I think you should go riding
Yes, I wanted to, but Mother said
Shall I tell her you said
I'm not having you
Damn. Damn!
I think you should be glad
is interested
And what does that mean?
It's, er
..it's just that I mentioned
that I might like to make a career
Do you disapprove?
If that's what you want.
Anyway, Gerald seems quite happy
Absolutely.
I think it's a splendid idea
This free-trade question
I don't think Churchill's lot
After all, who does he represent?
A lot of cotton spinners
Keep 'em down,
Keeps them out of trouble.
Thank you, Master Edwin.
Emma, sir.
For God's sake, Adele,
and try and pull yourself together.
Morning, ma'am. I were just
Would you ask Murgatroyd
I like to keep a little brandy
so if Murgatroyd could bring me
It would be simpler for him just
Emma! What are you doing here?
You ought to be
So I rushed home
Hey, Mrs Turner gave me
Dad's boiling it up for you.
All that way!
You shouldn't have.
I wanted to see
I'm feeling better today.
Good.
Hello, Blackie.
Is it still busy?
Ta, love.
But you've time to stop
When I go to work at one of the
there's servants for every little
It wasn't always like this.
The mistress, well,
First, her maid gave notice.
French.
Then there was
Master Gerald said he was insolent,
Tell me more about Leeds, Blackie.
Well, it's full
They've got tramcars there, Emma.
Amazing vehicles that run on tracks
There's wonders to see in Leeds,
Then there's work to be had
Well, five years ago
..I went there with my uncle Pat,
repair works and building
I tell you
..I aim to make myself a pile
Can a girl like me
Hello, Olivia.
This is very good of you, Olivia.
She's my sister. I want to help.
There's a doctor in Leeds
I must get away.
This is a terrible place, Blackie.
Anything.
The poor don't count,
Money makes you safe.
I must have it, lots of it.
A fortune.
If you want it that badly,
If I come to Leeds one day, will you
I will, it'll be me pleasure.
You can always find me in
Ask for Rosie, the barmaid.
Nine.
Get on with your work,
I'm going upstairs later on to show
She seems to be running the house
Stepping out of your class, my girl,
well, it'll get you nothing
We'll see.
Do you have a problem
I-I made this here plan, ma'am.
I think it'll be easier for me
I worked it all out, proper, like.
I-I've been timing myself,
and I've worked out how I can
and fit the little ones
It's not that I'm afraid of
it's just
well
..it-it's planned bad.
You mean to tell me that you are the
Yes, ma'am.
Well, Emma, I see what you mean.
You've given a great deal of thought
to this timetable. I approve.
Hello, Emma.
You're looking
Well, don't just stand there
You know what happens to mice,
They get caught in a trap.
Snapped. Or they get pounced on
..with very sharp teeth.
Mrs Fairley, ma'am.
Adele! What is it?
I don't need your help!
Emma, take Mrs Fairley to her room.
Will t'Squire be in today,
Later. He has personal matters
I can handle anything on his behalf.
That Australian's been on to us,
We don't need Australians.
Do we?
Well, we are getting
Go away!
Master Edwin.
I thought I was only person
I reckon I knows these moors
I spent many a summer up
when I were a nipper.
Ramsden Crags.
Me mam calls it that.
Well, that's another secret place
Do you think you could just
drop the master stuff?
Just Edwin will do.
It won't do at all.
Can't we forget all that,
You've, You've been
She's really fond of you, Emma.
Poor lady.
I can remember
the two of them laughing together,
I don't know,
Go away from us all.
Father has been so lonely.
Well, I must be getting back.
Old frozen face will be
Is that what you call him?
Gerald and I used to call him
He'd give me the back of his hand
Has he ever hit you?
But not lately. Don't worry,
I'm sure you can.
Emma!
I-I have to choose something
Dinner party. Important people.
You will be here, won't you, Emma?
Yes, ma'am. Mrs Wainwright asked me
so I won't be going home.
I must look my best tonight.
I think it's a bit
You need something more
I knows just the dress.
This is the one,
Remove the roses?
You'll ruin the dress.
Honest, Mrs Fairley, ma'am.
There.
And you can wear that lovely
and I'll put your hair up
You'll look lovely.
EDWIN, OUTSIDE: I can find it,
What's that noise?
The yardman's got enough to do
without worrying
I'll go out there myself. You go
And anyway, I haven't got
of where we left the wretched beast.
Well, I know where it is.
What is all this, Gerald?
Nothing of importance, Mother.
We don't want you interfering.
Come to the library at once.
At once!
Well, Gerald.
Explain yourself.
It's all a storm in a teacup,
We were out riding on the moors,
we came across this dog
Edwin became upset about it,
wanted to release the dog.
We, er, argued about it.
I didn't want
That's all.
The dog was alive
I suggested we sent the yardman
and put it out of his suffering, it
Gerald said it was a waste of time
How disgusting you are!
To let a helpless animal
Don't upset yourself, Mother.
You'll make yourself ill again.
You will send the yardman
If not, to put it out of its misery.
And Gerald
If I see you endanger
or hear you have,
Edwin could have been
Edwin. Always Edwin.
Edwin could have been killed
You know what they do to murderers,
They hang them by the neck
Do you understand me?
Emma.
I I'd like to go to my room.
You must rest yourself now.
This evening!
I can't.
I can't.
Don't-Don't leave her alone,
Wait with her till I can come up.
I'm sure Mrs Wainwright
but if you ask me,
A bit more cream, dear.
That's it.
Make sure you keep this caviar
Annie's chopping the hard-boiled
Turtle soup. I shall need
And the-the beef's in the oven.
"How do you do, Miss Harte?
"it's a veritable metropolis."
That's really very good.
You're a clever girl, Emma.
It looks so plain
Trust me, ma'am.
Now look for yourself.
Yes.
Yes, that will do very well.
It is a very delicate
If you notice any sign
please don't hesitate to tell me.
I know that she will try
Mrs Fairley, ma'am, what is it?
What's wrong?
I must get away from this place,
Before it's too late.
Those people, they're whispering,
What people?
Mrs Fairley, ma'am,
You must pull yourself together.
The guests will be here any minute.
You're always safe, Mrs Fairley.
You must go down.
You're the mistress of the house!
I've done that, Mrs Fairley, and
and they've all arrived.
My head began to hurt again.
One of my headaches.
They're waiting, Mrs Fairley.
Edwin, I'd like you to meet
I've heard a lot about you.
Delighted to meet you.
I'm looking forward to
Go on, Mrs Fairley, ma'am.
Do you have such a place?
I'd hardly call them drastic.
is to make one or two simple
It is not always so easy to answer
Of course it is. I think
Well, there are some of us left,
I take your point, Mrs Fairley.
Well, if you gentlemen
we will leave you to your cigars.
We'll be joining you very soon,
Well, here's to our successful
and, I hope, our friendship.
I'm only sorry
I shall be sailing for Sydney
No chance of getting you
I must compliment you on your wife,
Not only beautiful,
You're a lucky man.
Yes, I am, aren't I?
Olivia.
I'm sorry to intrude so late.
I'm afraid I
we have become very
I was glad to be of help.
You must be tired.
But I feel
Adam.
Just what it is
I want to finish this lot,
I've got Mrs Wainwright's mending
But you can't go on at this pace
It won't be forever.
I've got me plan, you see.
Good day to you, Mrs Turner.
And I hope there's
Blackie!
Look at you!
I declare, you get to be
Come on.
Now, with compliments to you,
and a little something for you.
My favourite, humbugs.
And, er
this is for ye, Emma.
What is it?
Just a little bit of nonsense.
It's wonderful!
It's only glass, you know,
the colour reminded me of your eyes.
One day, when I've made my fortune,
Well, that sounds spendthrift talk
Well, sure,
if you don't get the pleasure
Would you listen to this one?
Turning into the real hard-headed
The kettle's boiled.
You look terribly smart.
New suit. Business is booming.
I tell you,
I'll be building my own dream house.
Heaven forbid.
No, no, I don't want a mausoleum
It'll be a fine house,
with handsome porticos and columns,
rooms full of light and airiness.
And furniture, well, I'll have the
maybe a little Chippendale,
and there'll be fine objects
And I shall be left
Do you know how to design houses,
I'm learning.
Can anyone go to night school
Mrs Turner
Frank, lad, what is it?
Me dad says we have to come
It's our mam, she's right badly,
You don't want to be afraid, now.
If Dr Mack's there,
I'll come back as quick as I can,
Please, God, don't let our mam die.
Emma!
Emma.
Frank, lad, come here.
Come on.
Come on. Up in the front.
That's it. Come on, Emma.
Behind me.
Giddy up. Hee-ya.
Come on. Hee-ya.
Mam? It's me.
Mam? It's Emma.
Emma.
I waited for you.
I'm here.
You're a good lass.
Promise me
and Frank and your dad.
Don't talk like that.
Promise me.
I promise.
Is your dad there?
Let me see
Let me see the top of the world
..John.
The top of the world!
John!
Elizabeth?
Elizabeth.
Dad.
I'll fetch Dr Mack.
She's free.
It's God's will.
God's will?
There's no God.
If there was a God,
he wouldn't have let me mam suffer
And he wouldn't have let me mam die!
Emma? Emma!
Emma!
Forasmuch as it hath pleased
of his great mercy
the soul of our dear sister
Commit her body to the ground.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
in sure and certain hope
Jesus Christ
Who shall change the body
That it may be like
According to the mighty working
whereby he is able to subdue
I heard a voice from heaven
Mam.
..For they rest from their labour.
Come on.
"Dear Emma, I cannot imagine what it
"But I just wanted you to know that
"Your friend, Edwin."
"A to"
Elizabeth.
A?
Emma
I'm very sorry about your mother.
I'm very sorry.
I still say it was deceitful,
doing a moonlight flit
He did leave you a note. He's a big
There's something else
How did he get into the Royal Navy
He's underage.
So you mean
Yes. Packed his bags and crept off
Did he say what he was going to do?
Winston's wanted to join the Navy
Well, he's a lucky fellow.
Well, he knows
and he's had the courage
So would you.
I hope so.
Well, I must take these herbs
School begins next week.
You'll be back soon enough.
Yes, Emma, I was gonna ask if you,
God.
Can we have a picnic
Rosemary? That's for remembrance.
Pray you love, remember.
It's just a bit of Shakespeare,
Aye.
Shakespeare, is it?
Ta.
Listen to me, Dad.
Why don't you go down to the pub,
Aye, lass, I think I will.
I wish you could have stayed
It's a shame.
Good enough for the likes of us?
Off to bed, lad.
I'll bring you up a cup of milk.
I'm not a baby, Emma,
But I'd like the apple.
Hey, what are you scribbling at now?
That's no way to make your fortune,
Yes, it is.
I'm gonna work on a newspaper one
Then you'd still be working
I'm feeling better. Much better.
Well, I'm-I'm glad to hear it.
I need to go home. For a while.
How long will you be gone?
Edwin's home from school,
I've left instructions
Emma's organised the household
She's a good girl.
And devoted to you.
As we all are.
Edwin! Wait for me!
Edwin!
I ran so hard, I thought I'd die!
You'll never die, Emma.
We're both gonna live forever
and ever at the top of the world!
Goodbye, Edwin, dear.
You must look after
Yes. Goodbye, Aunt Olivia.
Goodbye, Gerald.
Bye, Aunt Olivia.
I shall escort your aunt safely
Look after your mother.
If there's any trouble at the mill,
I'm sure I can manage to look after
Don't concern yourself.
No.
Walk on.
You member that crevice
Yes.
I'd like to try and shift the rock.
Edwin,
Just wait and see.
The thing is
I think there's a hollow space
I heard it rattle.
Maybe there's a cave.
It's rocking a bit. If I push it
Be careful. You could fall!
You've lost another shilling.
Go on, Edwin.
I think it's moving.
Go on, just a bit more.
Go on.
Come on. Come on.
Edwin!
It's like a little tunnel.
I'm coming, too.
I'm not afraid. Come on.
Someone's discovered this cave
What have you found?
Here.
They certainly made themselves
What have you found?
Your father.
He must have discovered this cave
I wonder who Elizabeth was.
Emma?
Emma!
Emma, what is it? What's wrong?
Look at you, your hands and face
Come on, I'll race you to the beck.
Perhaps you're better uphill.
I won't even try.
Ooh, stop it!
God.
Come on, quick!
We'll get caught in the storm.
Don't you think we ought
No, we'll have to wait
You mustn't catch another cold
I know.
We're both gonna catch pneumonia
We'll just have to dry them out.
We can leave them by the fire.
Emma, don't be silly,
Good old Mrs Turner.
Lord, Emma, just look at you.
You're going to get bronchitis
Well, we'll just have to
What, take our clothes off?
You may do as you wish, Miss Harte,
but I am certainly not
because of false modesty.
There. Now. Look.
What could be more respectable?
This is as good as a kilt.
Here.
Look. Wrap this round you.
And you will look like
in a sari, and goodness knows,
That's Mrs Turner's best tablecloth.
All the better.
What are you afraid of?
Emma, I'd never harm you.
You are my best friend,
Now, go and change into this
Over there.
And I'll go and get some food ready.
There's only one mug and one plate,
and a flask of elderberry wine.
It's so cold.
There's not much wood left.
How long do you think
You're freezing.
Is that better?
Emma.
You're so beautiful.
I love you, Emma.
It's not right.
I won't harm you.
I'd never harm you.
I couldn't harm the person
Do you? Do you love me?
How I love you!
Don't you love me?
Yes.
Master Edwin!
It's all right, Mrs Turner,
Let's get you out of those
And you go and sit down over there
Emma. What are you doing here?
I thought you were safe at home
I, er, came across Emma
She was worried about getting back
..jam making.
So I decided it was too dangerous,
At Ramsden Crags.
Edwin had to swim us both over.
Annie'll bring you up
Thank you.
I'm really sorry
I'll send you up a bite of supper,
Thank you.
Jam making!
Servants and gentry don't mix.
You've got to know your place.
You're stepping out of your class,
Give me a kiss.
Yet in these thoughts
Happily I think on thee
And then my state
Like to the lark at break of day
Sings hymns at Heaven's gate.
I know you've improved the output,
but the men aren't happy.
The men are not paid to be happy,
They're paid to work.
Yes, sir, but if you push 'em too
Have there been any accidents?
Not yet.
You'll be a wonderful barrister,
You'll see justice done,
I'm not Sir Galahad, Emma.
It shouldn't be.
And Earthly power doth then show
When mercy seasons justice.
Emma.
Shakespeare. That speech
But I only read it once.
You started me off on him.
I've been opening the books in
You have a beautiful voice.
I've been practising
Properly.
Course, it won't do for
One day?
One day I mean to be a lady.
You're a lady now.
Look.
For my lady.
Mother!
It's good to see you downstairs.
Did I hear Edwin's voice?
No.
No, you'll have to wait
I decided that it was time I went
Why not? Good idea.
I've been reading the Gazette.
It says that you are making changes
They do not sound like improvements.
Are you telling me the Gazette
We own that rag.
Reading between the lines,
risks.
Well, let me tell you something,
You worry about the risks
Funny how his business trips
always coincide with
Wouldn't you say?
Win? Winston!
When did you get back? Are you well?
One at a time!
Hello, Dad.
I see they've cut your hair.
You look good.
Man enough for a pint after supper.
What's happened?
Why is the doctor here, Mrs Turner?
Mr Murgatroyd?
It's Master Edwin, isn't it?
It's Mrs.
She's dead.
But she were all right yesterday.
Fell down the stairs in the night.
Broke her neck, doctor says.
Poor lass found her when she went
Stiff as a board, she were.
Stretched out
Poor lady.
Master Gerald sent a telegram to
Master Edwin's on his way.
What was she doing wandering around
There was broken glass
Murgatroyd swept it up.
She was clutching onto t'stem,
There was dried blood.
She was coming down
You are not to repeat that.
What's done is done.
Poor lonely lady.
Man that is born of a woman
and is full of misery.
He cometh up
He fleeth as it were a shadow
In the midst of life,
Of whom may we seek for succour
who for our sins
Yet, O Lord God, most holy,
O Lord, most mighty,
O holy and most merciful Saviour,
deliver us not into the bitter pains
Thou knowest Lord
shut not thy merciful ears
But spare us, Lord, most holy,
O God, most mighty,
O holy and most merciful Saviour,
thou most worthy judge eternal,
suffer us not at our last hour,
for any pains of death,
I've missed you so much.
I'm sorry about Mrs Fairley.
It was terrible.
Yes, er
How I feel we failed her.
The family.
The Squire, maybe, but never you.
Why do you hate my father so much?
No. But he's the Squire.
He uses people like things,
Well, yes, I suppose it is,
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't talk about your father
Don't let's talk about him
He's going abroad for a year,
Now, Gerald is to take over
And you?
Look, come in here, come on.
Here. I'm going to Cambridge.
I have a reading list, I have
But don't worry, not at once.
Look, let's meet on Sunday
You haven't changed, have you, Emma?
Yes, I still love you.
Good.
What's wrong? What's the matter?
I'm going to have a baby.
My God!
Are you all right?
Are you
Are you absolutely sure?
Absolutely sure.
I My father is going to kill me.
What What are you going to do?
Don't you mean
What? Yes, of course I mean we,
You are sure?
Edwin, help me.
I've been so worried.
It's been terrible on my own.
Come and sit down.
Look, I've heard
They, Well, they can
Maybe we can find one in Bradford or
Yes, we could do that.
We could find some quack
and leave me to bleed my way home
It's not what I want!
I don't know what else to do.
What can we do, Edwin?
Right, look, tomorrow
It's If
If we can find
So, I'm on my own.
No, I didn't say that.
You didn't need to.
Well, it wouldn't be proper,
The working class and the gentry,
It isn't that I don't love you,
But look,
I've got to get my degree first
I know. He'd kill you.
I am so sorry.
I shall have to leave Fairley
Can't answer for what my dad would
When will you go?
As soon as I can.
Silly, smell of these roses,
Yes, I'll do that.
£15.
I only have,
but, look, it could help.
Yes, thank you very much.
Emma I will do anything to help.
Anything? That's very kind of you.
Look, Emma, please!
No, look at me. Please,
I do. I do understand.
You look like a gentleman,
You're less than the dirt
I won't be seeing you again,
As long as I live.
I
Emma, wait!
Wait!
Harry
But this is a complex situation
Sitex is just a part of your empire.
I asked for an explanation.
Emma, we've been friends for
We've known each other for 40 years.
..I'd like to move
You bitch!
Well, you won.
He lost.
He actually got himself into
You're on TV.
Mrs Emma Harte,
is at the centre
of the multi-million dollar
Earlier today,
Naturally, I am shocked, stunned.
I founded the original company
Liar.
Harry rode on his coattails.
You've been to several
Do you think you could cope alone?
They'd eat me alive!
You can't be serious?
Well, of course I'm serious.
But I won't send you in alone until
Well, I'm willing to try,
No buts, I know
I raised you, I trained you.
Don't you think I know
Why don't you send in Robin or Kit?
Because even my maternal eye
lack the killer instinct.
This could be extremely dangerous.
Don't be ridiculous.
I don't know, Robin.
Everyone who's kicked out
But we can handle it.
Money has always meant more to her
And she'll end up losing first.
She's nearly 80, for God's sake.
Robin, if we could just wait.
She's such a tough old warhorse,
Look, she's past it.
It'll be easy.
I've got people standing by,
It might be difficult
She'll step down to avoid a scandal.
She'll hate the world to know
Hello, yes?
Yes.
It's Gaye calling for you
Gaye!
I was going to call you
Well, can you give me
No.
No, I see.
Right. Thank you, Gaye.
Change of plan.
Good morning, Mrs Harte.
Are you going to tell me
I thought I could trust
That's the worst part.
It was Mr Ainsley and Mr Lowther.
Robin?
And Kit?
I never
I never thought
I suppose a mother doesn't want to
I didn't know what to do.
I thought you should know.
You did the right thing, Gaye.
Thank you.
And, by the way
..I don't want Paula
this plot,
Yes, of course, Mrs Harte.
'She's nearly 80,
'Robin, we could just wait.'
'Wait?
'She's such a tough old warhorse,
'Look, she's past it. It'll be easy.
'I've got people standing by,
'It might be difficult
'She'll step down
'She'll hate the world to know
Good morning.
Mr Rossiter, Mrs Harte.
Hello, Emma.
Hope I'm not late.
What's wrong, Emma?
Wrong? Nothing.
I've been your financial adviser
and constant admirer
You're a creature of habit.
When you make an appointment
on a day when you're supposed to be
It's nothing serious.
I want to liquidate
and I thought you could handle it
Yes. Yes, yes, of course, but
It's all right, Henry.
I just need a little cash,
So I thought I'd get rid
jewellery,
And here's the list.
Do sit down, Henry, dear.
A little cash?
This represents
I reckoned about
what do you think, Henry, dear?
I think you've gone mad.
Why do you suddenly need
You're in trouble, aren't you?
Come on, now, Henry,
I have a personal project in mind,
I never wear that jewellery,
and anyway, I was never very fond
and the real estate
Yes, I mean, the art collection,
you have spent so much time and love
With your help, and I'm grateful.
It's-It's an absolutely wonderful
In that case, it should fetch
Will you handle it for me?
But won't you tell me what it's for?
How long will it take to liquidate?
A month.
Don't look so miserable,
What are you doing about that cough?
Well, I'm taking some stuff
What's this?
Never fails. Old Yorkshire remedy.
You are quite incorrigible.
Well, the whole coordination
We've lost the point of the scheme.
I'd like to see the buyer
Yes, Mrs Harte.
Gaye, I want you to have the lawyers
and then they can bring them in
Yes, Mrs Harte.
The documents must be irreversible,
I must be absolutely sure they could
in any court of law.
'ready to join us in a takeover.
'It might be difficult
I had thought of staying here
just to check up on the new store.
Why the sudden interest
Could it be Jim Fairley,
Don't be ridiculous.
Not any more.
I'm glad.
You're angry, Grandy,
Why this vendetta?
How can you hate someone, a whole
Well, let's just say,
and I don't want you hurt.
Please, Grandy, you talk to me
Why do you employ Jim Fairley
Well, he's good at his job.
And I don't hate Jim personally.
I-I-I-I would truly like
Hilda!
There's no-one else here yet.
Mr Robin telephoned to say
Did he?
Hello, Miss Paula.
Miss Edwina's on her way.
You'd better not call her
Do remember it's Lady Dunvale.
Not to me, it's not.
I thought we were having
Why have you invited the others?
It's so nice
Why don't you go for a ride?
God!
They're arriving already.
I'm off.
Well, there's Kit and June.
And dear Robin.
Good God,
I thought
Well, perhaps they're hatching
Elizabeth, of course, will be late.
I can't remember,
She always has a husband,
Grandy, you've had several yourself.
Yes, but they didn't get younger
Go on, you must
You mean go away
Let them know I don't
Henry? Emma.
'I've got the final figures.'
Yeah?
That's very good.
Now, I want you to transfer that
That's ridiculous.
You can't put £9 million
Now, why on Earth you
Well, I may want to go shopping.
Stop playing with me, Emma. Nobody
It depends on what you're buying.
Thought you'd fancy a cup of tea.
And I'm supposed to be
Thank you.
How's that grandson of yours?
Job working out?
Thank you for recommending him.
He asked to be remembered to you.
Kit.
'It might be difficult
Emma!
What are you doing?
Look what you've done,
You ought to pay for that
Come on. Hurry up.
Come in.
Tea, ma'am.
Where's Polly?
I don't want anything.
You may go.
I've done the plants, Mrs Turner.
And I cleaned the vegetables.
Ooh, and I've checked the fires.
So I'll be off.
It's my afternoon off,
Maybe
maybe not.
There's all this silver
I'll come in extra early
Me mam's sick
She'll catch up tomorrow.
Thanks, Mrs Turner.
Now, drop it once and for all, lad,
or thee'll feel me strap
Tha's not too old yet
You'll come back one day
Shut up, Dad!
What's got into you? Shouting and
You should know better!
Now, sit down and have your tea.
Or I'll be the one that runs away,
and then where will all of you be,
Come on, Frank, make the tea.
Mam?
Emma.
Is that you?
Come on, Mam.
There y'are.
Tha's not going into the Navy!
And that's the last I'll hear of it
You're underage.
I said stop it, both of you!
Come on, Dad. Our Winston
That's all talk. You're wrong,
I mean it. And I'll do it.
Morning, Mam.
It's a lovely day.
It's ever so bright.
I looked out, I could see right over
It was as clear as a bell.
What do you want, our lad?
Tha' looks a mite better, love.
I am, John.
I'll be better soon enough.
Bye, Mam. See you later.
I love thee, Elizabeth.
I love thee, too, John.
Till the day I die.
Get your coat on, young Frank,
I'm going, I were just reading
It's money, not books,
And we need every penny,
with the medicine
Come on.
Please, God, make our mam better.
Don't be late.
Ooh!
Blast!
I'm lost in this blasted fog.
Can you be pointing me
The cat's got her tongue,
Just show me the path
I'm going to Fairley Hall myself.
Well, thank you.
Er, well, let's be marching, then.
It's devilish cold here.
Why are you going to the hall, then?
Well, it's for repairing
and a few odd jobs. It was himself
Kind and generous man he is,
Where are you from? Not these parts.
The best place in the world.
And what might you be called?
Well, pleased to be meeting you,
Shane O'Neill's the name,
So, you live in Leeds, then.
It is a grand town,
A veritable metropolis.
There's great arcades with shops
and the gents, too. The sort
Silk and satin bows and hats
Fancy stockings.
Sure, all your little heart
Here.
There it is. There's the hall.
Mary, mother of Jesus.
That's the ugliest house
Here, here, here, wait for me!
And what time do you call this time
like there's no tomorrow? I'd about
I'm sorry, Mrs Turner.
Well, don't stand there gawping
get a move on.
I set off in time, I did, really,
but it was ever so foggy
Who's this, then?
It's the builder
His name's Shane O'Neill,
Do they, now?
Good morning to you, Mrs Turner.
Irish? Well, I don't hold that
You're a strong lad and there's
How's Polly, Mrs Turner? Still
You'll have to do her work
I'll make a start.
Go and sit by the fire and get warm.
And you can have a mug of hot broth
Would you like a cup, lad? I would,
You can make the beds before lunch.
And don't forget,
Set the table for breakfast.
You can black-lead the grates
but light the morning room fire,
do the carpets,
What's all this? What's all this?
You're in dereliction of your duty,
That good for nothing should have
Squire's not in
She does little enough as it is.
Well, what are you waiting for now?
Stupid little sod! Look at the mess
You nasty bugger!
It was only an accident,
If I ever see you strike that girl
I'll tell her father.
And you know what's in store for you
Are you all right, love?
You're-You're O'Neill?
Right?
Yes, Squire said to expect you.
Well, it's all on here,
You can read, I suppose?
Now, about your wages,
15 shillings for a week's work
that's what the Squire instructed.
One guinea was the price the Squire
and, er, one guinea it is,
Watch where you're going.
Yes, please.
Morning, Murgatroyd.
I hope you're feeling better.
Morning.
How are you, old chap?
You must get some colour
I think you should go riding
Yes, I wanted to, but Mother said
Shall I tell her you said
I'm not having you
Damn. Damn!
I think you should be glad
is interested
And what does that mean?
It's, er
..it's just that I mentioned
that I might like to make a career
Do you disapprove?
If that's what you want.
Anyway, Gerald seems quite happy
Absolutely.
I think it's a splendid idea
This free-trade question
I don't think Churchill's lot
After all, who does he represent?
A lot of cotton spinners
Keep 'em down,
Keeps them out of trouble.
Thank you, Master Edwin.
Emma, sir.
For God's sake, Adele,
and try and pull yourself together.
Morning, ma'am. I were just
Would you ask Murgatroyd
I like to keep a little brandy
so if Murgatroyd could bring me
It would be simpler for him just
Emma! What are you doing here?
You ought to be
So I rushed home
Hey, Mrs Turner gave me
Dad's boiling it up for you.
All that way!
You shouldn't have.
I wanted to see
I'm feeling better today.
Good.
Hello, Blackie.
Is it still busy?
Ta, love.
But you've time to stop
When I go to work at one of the
there's servants for every little
It wasn't always like this.
The mistress, well,
First, her maid gave notice.
French.
Then there was
Master Gerald said he was insolent,
Tell me more about Leeds, Blackie.
Well, it's full
They've got tramcars there, Emma.
Amazing vehicles that run on tracks
There's wonders to see in Leeds,
Then there's work to be had
Well, five years ago
..I went there with my uncle Pat,
repair works and building
I tell you
..I aim to make myself a pile
Can a girl like me
Hello, Olivia.
This is very good of you, Olivia.
She's my sister. I want to help.
There's a doctor in Leeds
I must get away.
This is a terrible place, Blackie.
Anything.
The poor don't count,
Money makes you safe.
I must have it, lots of it.
A fortune.
If you want it that badly,
If I come to Leeds one day, will you
I will, it'll be me pleasure.
You can always find me in
Ask for Rosie, the barmaid.
Nine.
Get on with your work,
I'm going upstairs later on to show
She seems to be running the house
Stepping out of your class, my girl,
well, it'll get you nothing
We'll see.
Do you have a problem
I-I made this here plan, ma'am.
I think it'll be easier for me
I worked it all out, proper, like.
I-I've been timing myself,
and I've worked out how I can
and fit the little ones
It's not that I'm afraid of
it's just
well
..it-it's planned bad.
You mean to tell me that you are the
Yes, ma'am.
Well, Emma, I see what you mean.
You've given a great deal of thought
to this timetable. I approve.
Hello, Emma.
You're looking
Well, don't just stand there
You know what happens to mice,
They get caught in a trap.
Snapped. Or they get pounced on
..with very sharp teeth.
Mrs Fairley, ma'am.
Adele! What is it?
I don't need your help!
Emma, take Mrs Fairley to her room.
Will t'Squire be in today,
Later. He has personal matters
I can handle anything on his behalf.
That Australian's been on to us,
We don't need Australians.
Do we?
Well, we are getting
Go away!
Master Edwin.
I thought I was only person
I reckon I knows these moors
I spent many a summer up
when I were a nipper.
Ramsden Crags.
Me mam calls it that.
Well, that's another secret place
Do you think you could just
drop the master stuff?
Just Edwin will do.
It won't do at all.
Can't we forget all that,
You've, You've been
She's really fond of you, Emma.
Poor lady.
I can remember
the two of them laughing together,
I don't know,
Go away from us all.
Father has been so lonely.
Well, I must be getting back.
Old frozen face will be
Is that what you call him?
Gerald and I used to call him
He'd give me the back of his hand
Has he ever hit you?
But not lately. Don't worry,
I'm sure you can.
Emma!
I-I have to choose something
Dinner party. Important people.
You will be here, won't you, Emma?
Yes, ma'am. Mrs Wainwright asked me
so I won't be going home.
I must look my best tonight.
I think it's a bit
You need something more
I knows just the dress.
This is the one,
Remove the roses?
You'll ruin the dress.
Honest, Mrs Fairley, ma'am.
There.
And you can wear that lovely
and I'll put your hair up
You'll look lovely.
EDWIN, OUTSIDE: I can find it,
What's that noise?
The yardman's got enough to do
without worrying
I'll go out there myself. You go
And anyway, I haven't got
of where we left the wretched beast.
Well, I know where it is.
What is all this, Gerald?
Nothing of importance, Mother.
We don't want you interfering.
Come to the library at once.
At once!
Well, Gerald.
Explain yourself.
It's all a storm in a teacup,
We were out riding on the moors,
we came across this dog
Edwin became upset about it,
wanted to release the dog.
We, er, argued about it.
I didn't want
That's all.
The dog was alive
I suggested we sent the yardman
and put it out of his suffering, it
Gerald said it was a waste of time
How disgusting you are!
To let a helpless animal
Don't upset yourself, Mother.
You'll make yourself ill again.
You will send the yardman
If not, to put it out of its misery.
And Gerald
If I see you endanger
or hear you have,
Edwin could have been
Edwin. Always Edwin.
Edwin could have been killed
You know what they do to murderers,
They hang them by the neck
Do you understand me?
Emma.
I I'd like to go to my room.
You must rest yourself now.
This evening!
I can't.
I can't.
Don't-Don't leave her alone,
Wait with her till I can come up.
I'm sure Mrs Wainwright
but if you ask me,
A bit more cream, dear.
That's it.
Make sure you keep this caviar
Annie's chopping the hard-boiled
Turtle soup. I shall need
And the-the beef's in the oven.
"How do you do, Miss Harte?
"it's a veritable metropolis."
That's really very good.
You're a clever girl, Emma.
It looks so plain
Trust me, ma'am.
Now look for yourself.
Yes.
Yes, that will do very well.
It is a very delicate
If you notice any sign
please don't hesitate to tell me.
I know that she will try
Mrs Fairley, ma'am, what is it?
What's wrong?
I must get away from this place,
Before it's too late.
Those people, they're whispering,
What people?
Mrs Fairley, ma'am,
You must pull yourself together.
The guests will be here any minute.
You're always safe, Mrs Fairley.
You must go down.
You're the mistress of the house!
I've done that, Mrs Fairley, and
and they've all arrived.
My head began to hurt again.
One of my headaches.
They're waiting, Mrs Fairley.
Edwin, I'd like you to meet
I've heard a lot about you.
Delighted to meet you.
I'm looking forward to
Go on, Mrs Fairley, ma'am.
Do you have such a place?
I'd hardly call them drastic.
is to make one or two simple
It is not always so easy to answer
Of course it is. I think
Well, there are some of us left,
I take your point, Mrs Fairley.
Well, if you gentlemen
we will leave you to your cigars.
We'll be joining you very soon,
Well, here's to our successful
and, I hope, our friendship.
I'm only sorry
I shall be sailing for Sydney
No chance of getting you
I must compliment you on your wife,
Not only beautiful,
You're a lucky man.
Yes, I am, aren't I?
Olivia.
I'm sorry to intrude so late.
I'm afraid I
we have become very
I was glad to be of help.
You must be tired.
But I feel
Adam.
Just what it is
I want to finish this lot,
I've got Mrs Wainwright's mending
But you can't go on at this pace
It won't be forever.
I've got me plan, you see.
Good day to you, Mrs Turner.
And I hope there's
Blackie!
Look at you!
I declare, you get to be
Come on.
Now, with compliments to you,
and a little something for you.
My favourite, humbugs.
And, er
this is for ye, Emma.
What is it?
Just a little bit of nonsense.
It's wonderful!
It's only glass, you know,
the colour reminded me of your eyes.
One day, when I've made my fortune,
Well, that sounds spendthrift talk
Well, sure,
if you don't get the pleasure
Would you listen to this one?
Turning into the real hard-headed
The kettle's boiled.
You look terribly smart.
New suit. Business is booming.
I tell you,
I'll be building my own dream house.
Heaven forbid.
No, no, I don't want a mausoleum
It'll be a fine house,
with handsome porticos and columns,
rooms full of light and airiness.
And furniture, well, I'll have the
maybe a little Chippendale,
and there'll be fine objects
And I shall be left
Do you know how to design houses,
I'm learning.
Can anyone go to night school
Mrs Turner
Frank, lad, what is it?
Me dad says we have to come
It's our mam, she's right badly,
You don't want to be afraid, now.
If Dr Mack's there,
I'll come back as quick as I can,
Please, God, don't let our mam die.
Emma!
Emma.
Frank, lad, come here.
Come on.
Come on. Up in the front.
That's it. Come on, Emma.
Behind me.
Giddy up. Hee-ya.
Come on. Hee-ya.
Mam? It's me.
Mam? It's Emma.
Emma.
I waited for you.
I'm here.
You're a good lass.
Promise me
and Frank and your dad.
Don't talk like that.
Promise me.
I promise.
Is your dad there?
Let me see
Let me see the top of the world
..John.
The top of the world!
John!
Elizabeth?
Elizabeth.
Dad.
I'll fetch Dr Mack.
She's free.
It's God's will.
God's will?
There's no God.
If there was a God,
he wouldn't have let me mam suffer
And he wouldn't have let me mam die!
Emma? Emma!
Emma!
Forasmuch as it hath pleased
of his great mercy
the soul of our dear sister
Commit her body to the ground.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
in sure and certain hope
Jesus Christ
Who shall change the body
That it may be like
According to the mighty working
whereby he is able to subdue
I heard a voice from heaven
Mam.
..For they rest from their labour.
Come on.
"Dear Emma, I cannot imagine what it
"But I just wanted you to know that
"Your friend, Edwin."
"A to"
Elizabeth.
A?
Emma
I'm very sorry about your mother.
I'm very sorry.
I still say it was deceitful,
doing a moonlight flit
He did leave you a note. He's a big
There's something else
How did he get into the Royal Navy
He's underage.
So you mean
Yes. Packed his bags and crept off
Did he say what he was going to do?
Winston's wanted to join the Navy
Well, he's a lucky fellow.
Well, he knows
and he's had the courage
So would you.
I hope so.
Well, I must take these herbs
School begins next week.
You'll be back soon enough.
Yes, Emma, I was gonna ask if you,
God.
Can we have a picnic
Rosemary? That's for remembrance.
Pray you love, remember.
It's just a bit of Shakespeare,
Aye.
Shakespeare, is it?
Ta.
Listen to me, Dad.
Why don't you go down to the pub,
Aye, lass, I think I will.
I wish you could have stayed
It's a shame.
Good enough for the likes of us?
Off to bed, lad.
I'll bring you up a cup of milk.
I'm not a baby, Emma,
But I'd like the apple.
Hey, what are you scribbling at now?
That's no way to make your fortune,
Yes, it is.
I'm gonna work on a newspaper one
Then you'd still be working
I'm feeling better. Much better.
Well, I'm-I'm glad to hear it.
I need to go home. For a while.
How long will you be gone?
Edwin's home from school,
I've left instructions
Emma's organised the household
She's a good girl.
And devoted to you.
As we all are.
Edwin! Wait for me!
Edwin!
I ran so hard, I thought I'd die!
You'll never die, Emma.
We're both gonna live forever
and ever at the top of the world!
Goodbye, Edwin, dear.
You must look after
Yes. Goodbye, Aunt Olivia.
Goodbye, Gerald.
Bye, Aunt Olivia.
I shall escort your aunt safely
Look after your mother.
If there's any trouble at the mill,
I'm sure I can manage to look after
Don't concern yourself.
No.
Walk on.
You member that crevice
Yes.
I'd like to try and shift the rock.
Edwin,
Just wait and see.
The thing is
I think there's a hollow space
I heard it rattle.
Maybe there's a cave.
It's rocking a bit. If I push it
Be careful. You could fall!
You've lost another shilling.
Go on, Edwin.
I think it's moving.
Go on, just a bit more.
Go on.
Come on. Come on.
Edwin!
It's like a little tunnel.
I'm coming, too.
I'm not afraid. Come on.
Someone's discovered this cave
What have you found?
Here.
They certainly made themselves
What have you found?
Your father.
He must have discovered this cave
I wonder who Elizabeth was.
Emma?
Emma!
Emma, what is it? What's wrong?
Look at you, your hands and face
Come on, I'll race you to the beck.
Perhaps you're better uphill.
I won't even try.
Ooh, stop it!
God.
Come on, quick!
We'll get caught in the storm.
Don't you think we ought
No, we'll have to wait
You mustn't catch another cold
I know.
We're both gonna catch pneumonia
We'll just have to dry them out.
We can leave them by the fire.
Emma, don't be silly,
Good old Mrs Turner.
Lord, Emma, just look at you.
You're going to get bronchitis
Well, we'll just have to
What, take our clothes off?
You may do as you wish, Miss Harte,
but I am certainly not
because of false modesty.
There. Now. Look.
What could be more respectable?
This is as good as a kilt.
Here.
Look. Wrap this round you.
And you will look like
in a sari, and goodness knows,
That's Mrs Turner's best tablecloth.
All the better.
What are you afraid of?
Emma, I'd never harm you.
You are my best friend,
Now, go and change into this
Over there.
And I'll go and get some food ready.
There's only one mug and one plate,
and a flask of elderberry wine.
It's so cold.
There's not much wood left.
How long do you think
You're freezing.
Is that better?
Emma.
You're so beautiful.
I love you, Emma.
It's not right.
I won't harm you.
I'd never harm you.
I couldn't harm the person
Do you? Do you love me?
How I love you!
Don't you love me?
Yes.
Master Edwin!
It's all right, Mrs Turner,
Let's get you out of those
And you go and sit down over there
Emma. What are you doing here?
I thought you were safe at home
I, er, came across Emma
She was worried about getting back
..jam making.
So I decided it was too dangerous,
At Ramsden Crags.
Edwin had to swim us both over.
Annie'll bring you up
Thank you.
I'm really sorry
I'll send you up a bite of supper,
Thank you.
Jam making!
Servants and gentry don't mix.
You've got to know your place.
You're stepping out of your class,
Give me a kiss.
Yet in these thoughts
Happily I think on thee
And then my state
Like to the lark at break of day
Sings hymns at Heaven's gate.
I know you've improved the output,
but the men aren't happy.
The men are not paid to be happy,
They're paid to work.
Yes, sir, but if you push 'em too
Have there been any accidents?
Not yet.
You'll be a wonderful barrister,
You'll see justice done,
I'm not Sir Galahad, Emma.
It shouldn't be.
And Earthly power doth then show
When mercy seasons justice.
Emma.
Shakespeare. That speech
But I only read it once.
You started me off on him.
I've been opening the books in
You have a beautiful voice.
I've been practising
Properly.
Course, it won't do for
One day?
One day I mean to be a lady.
You're a lady now.
Look.
For my lady.
Mother!
It's good to see you downstairs.
Did I hear Edwin's voice?
No.
No, you'll have to wait
I decided that it was time I went
Why not? Good idea.
I've been reading the Gazette.
It says that you are making changes
They do not sound like improvements.
Are you telling me the Gazette
We own that rag.
Reading between the lines,
risks.
Well, let me tell you something,
You worry about the risks
Funny how his business trips
always coincide with
Wouldn't you say?
Win? Winston!
When did you get back? Are you well?
One at a time!
Hello, Dad.
I see they've cut your hair.
You look good.
Man enough for a pint after supper.
What's happened?
Why is the doctor here, Mrs Turner?
Mr Murgatroyd?
It's Master Edwin, isn't it?
It's Mrs.
She's dead.
But she were all right yesterday.
Fell down the stairs in the night.
Broke her neck, doctor says.
Poor lass found her when she went
Stiff as a board, she were.
Stretched out
Poor lady.
Master Gerald sent a telegram to
Master Edwin's on his way.
What was she doing wandering around
There was broken glass
Murgatroyd swept it up.
She was clutching onto t'stem,
There was dried blood.
She was coming down
You are not to repeat that.
What's done is done.
Poor lonely lady.
Man that is born of a woman
and is full of misery.
He cometh up
He fleeth as it were a shadow
In the midst of life,
Of whom may we seek for succour
who for our sins
Yet, O Lord God, most holy,
O Lord, most mighty,
O holy and most merciful Saviour,
deliver us not into the bitter pains
Thou knowest Lord
shut not thy merciful ears
But spare us, Lord, most holy,
O God, most mighty,
O holy and most merciful Saviour,
thou most worthy judge eternal,
suffer us not at our last hour,
for any pains of death,
I've missed you so much.
I'm sorry about Mrs Fairley.
It was terrible.
Yes, er
How I feel we failed her.
The family.
The Squire, maybe, but never you.
Why do you hate my father so much?
No. But he's the Squire.
He uses people like things,
Well, yes, I suppose it is,
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't talk about your father
Don't let's talk about him
He's going abroad for a year,
Now, Gerald is to take over
And you?
Look, come in here, come on.
Here. I'm going to Cambridge.
I have a reading list, I have
But don't worry, not at once.
Look, let's meet on Sunday
You haven't changed, have you, Emma?
Yes, I still love you.
Good.
What's wrong? What's the matter?
I'm going to have a baby.
My God!
Are you all right?
Are you
Are you absolutely sure?
Absolutely sure.
I My father is going to kill me.
What What are you going to do?
Don't you mean
What? Yes, of course I mean we,
You are sure?
Edwin, help me.
I've been so worried.
It's been terrible on my own.
Come and sit down.
Look, I've heard
They, Well, they can
Maybe we can find one in Bradford or
Yes, we could do that.
We could find some quack
and leave me to bleed my way home
It's not what I want!
I don't know what else to do.
What can we do, Edwin?
Right, look, tomorrow
It's If
If we can find
So, I'm on my own.
No, I didn't say that.
You didn't need to.
Well, it wouldn't be proper,
The working class and the gentry,
It isn't that I don't love you,
But look,
I've got to get my degree first
I know. He'd kill you.
I am so sorry.
I shall have to leave Fairley
Can't answer for what my dad would
When will you go?
As soon as I can.
Silly, smell of these roses,
Yes, I'll do that.
£15.
I only have,
but, look, it could help.
Yes, thank you very much.
Emma I will do anything to help.
Anything? That's very kind of you.
Look, Emma, please!
No, look at me. Please,
I do. I do understand.
You look like a gentleman,
You're less than the dirt
I won't be seeing you again,
As long as I live.
I
Emma, wait!
Wait!
