00:00No one can ever treat us like dirt or make us feel like we're nothing ever again.
00:04This is our new neighbor.
00:05Lord Fitzherbert.
00:06Charmed, Mrs. Hardigan.
00:08Oh.
00:08I bought Shaw's fish merchants this afternoon.
00:11You did what?
00:12My lady didn't introduce herself.
00:13Oh, I'm no lady, Mr. Ward.
00:15Why don't we have a bit of fun?
00:17No soup, no fish.
00:18And I told you people were dark work.
00:20He said underneath it all she's a common fishwife.
00:23Is that driving one that needs telling?
00:25Are you happy here?
00:26Of course.
00:26It's everything I ever wanted.
01:00I know what you're all thinking.
01:13Who does Sam Hardacre think he is?
01:16This sign up here, that's not a boast.
01:20It's a promise.
01:21We're investing in this place.
01:23And not just with money.
01:25I'm putting my flesh and blood in it.
01:28Joe here will be running the docks.
01:30Along with Fred Holdsworth.
01:33Together they will be joint managers.
01:37I know they're young, but they've earned it.
01:42One of them has.
01:43And remember this.
01:44You don't just work for us.
01:46We work for you too.
01:47I've had good fortune.
01:49And now I want to share it with the finest men and women in all of England.
01:54Sorry.
01:58Lena.
02:02So good to see you.
02:05Oh, mine's a frock.
02:09Now you're a lady.
02:10Don't.
02:11Cup of tea?
02:12Oh, yeah.
02:13I'd kill for one.
02:14Congratulations, Joe.
02:19Or should I call you Mr.
02:21Hardacre?
02:23Only in front of the other employees.
02:25Employees?
02:26Is that how you talk about your old friends now?
02:29I have to maintain discipline, Bessie.
02:31Harkin?
02:32Putting on airs already.
02:33Discipline?
02:35You?
02:36Aye.
02:37Discipline.
02:38When you're off to your poncy school and you top out in your stockings,
02:41and you, doing your embroidery,
02:44I'll be running this place.
02:45Give me half a chance.
02:46I reckon I could do better than you.
02:47You couldn't.
02:48It's a man's job.
02:50Aye.
02:51But the question is, Joe,
02:54are you up to it?
02:57Come on, Bessie.
03:01What do you mean, we can't afford it?
03:04Well, these shindigs of yours cost a pretty penny.
03:06Don't be vulgar, George.
03:08This tea party will raise funds for charitable causes.
03:11If we keep spending at this rate, we'll soon be a charitable cause.
03:14I was asked to play Herstess by the Duchess of Harrogate.
03:18If I fail her, we dare not show our faces for the rest of the season.
03:22Social ruin, Papa.
03:27Look here.
03:28What if we were to ask the Hardacres?
03:31So, but the Doctor, your father's gone mad.
03:33I'm perfectly sane.
03:35We need money.
03:36They need friends.
03:38Quid pro quo.
03:39And in English, George.
03:40You throw your party.
03:42The Hardacres settle the bill.
03:44You'd still be the hostess, just under their roof.
03:47Is there a roof that doesn't leak?
03:49Have you both taken leave of your senses?
03:52The Hardacres are trade.
03:54Exactly.
03:54Let's do business with them.
04:09I wish you'd asked my advice before you bought this business.
04:15Sure, let this place go to rack and ruin.
04:18But we'll turn it all around, now that I'm in charge.
04:22Yes.
04:23That's another thing.
04:25You're not entirely in charge.
04:28The company has an unusual constitution.
04:30There's a board of shareholders, and every shareholder has an equal say.
04:37Which means?
04:38The board cannot vote me.
04:40What's this about the board?
04:42Nothing to worry about.
04:43As long as they see you turning a profit soon.
04:46We will.
04:47If we replace the crane, like you said, we'll double our capacity.
04:52That's right, Fred.
04:53Then we can shorten our working hours.
04:55Why?
04:56There'll be less accidents and happier workers.
04:58I want to prove that you can make money and treat folks right.
05:02And to make that point, I want a ten shilling bonus on every pay packet this week.
05:06Are you trying to ruin yourself?
05:08Besides, the wages have already been made up.
05:10I can make them up again.
05:11It won't take long.
05:12Very good, Fred.
05:14Here.
05:14Take the safe key.
05:17I thought I was in charge of the money.
05:18In time, yes.
05:20When you've got a bit more experience.
05:22Fred can handle the money for now.
05:25I've worked on the docks my whole life.
05:27Sure, but this is office work.
05:29You need to learn it.
05:30Right, Joe.
05:32Are you familiar with double entry bookkeeping?
05:36Then we'll start there.
05:42Oh, don't you look a picture, eh?
05:45That's one word for it.
05:47Hey, you should take pride in your uniform.
05:50I know it's old-fashioned.
05:52I don't think this was ever in fashion.
05:54Hey, don't worry.
05:57I'm only teasing.
05:58It'll be an adventure.
05:59Mm.
06:01Right, check the list.
06:03Everything's in here.
06:04You've got different kinds of work.
06:05You've got a job.
06:06You've got a job.
06:07You've got a job.
06:08You've got a job.
06:09You've got a job.
06:10You've got a job.
06:11And in here, you've got different clothes for every sport.
06:14I expect I'll be captain of the football team
06:16and a champion wrestler.
06:18And maybe you will.
06:20I've always said our Harry can do anything he puts his mind to.
06:22Well, not anything.
06:23Harry.
06:28Visitors, ma'am.
06:29Lady Emma Fitzherbert and Lady Adella.
06:31Oh.
06:32Thank you, Maggie.
06:33I'll receive them in the drawing room.
06:35Yes.
06:35And Miss Liza, she'll join us.
06:38Very good, ma'am.
06:42You are as good as anybody.
06:45Better.
06:47Now, promise me you'll remember that.
06:49I promise.
06:52If you'll do the same.
06:57As our lord said, the poor are always with us.
07:03Not real.
07:04Well, I'm sure we all want to support the less fortunate.
07:07Indeed.
07:08Philanthropy is all the rage these days.
07:11Our lady's charitable circle represents the creme
07:15de la creme of county society.
07:17And with such connections, we're able to do great things
07:20for women and children in distress.
07:21Oh, I'm glad to hear it.
07:24And if I can help in any way, you
07:27wish me to propose you to the circle?
07:31The offering?
07:33Well, it won't be easy.
07:35After all, the circle is chaired by the Duchess of Harrogate.
07:39But...
07:40Yes?
07:42I have it.
07:44You shall host a gala afternoon tea here at Hardacre Hall.
07:50Mama, what a wonderful notion.
07:53Surely when the ladies meet you,
07:55they will take you to their hearts, just as we have.
07:59It's the most marvelous opportunity for you.
08:02So what do I need to do?
08:03I shall advise you on everything.
08:05The music, the floral decorations, the, um, menu.
08:11I mean, it's just afternoon tea, though.
08:13My dear, there's no such thing as just afternoon tea.
08:18Were we to hire the hostess who serves her tea
08:21for crafted by an unfashionable patissier.
08:24Imagine.
08:25Have no fear.
08:26I can tell you where exactly to open accounts.
08:29The most chic confectioners, brouderers, vintners, florists.
08:34Now, you said there's to be music.
08:36Leave that to us.
08:37Adele is a highly accomplished pianoforte player.
08:40Eliza, she's a lovely little singer.
08:43Mother, ah, what a happy coincidence.
08:46You shall accompany Miss Hardacre.
08:48And you'll sing.
08:51Then it's all settled.
08:53How fortunate we are to have such fine neighbors.
09:07All set.
09:09I wish you'd let one of us go with you.
09:10It wouldn't be right.
09:12I need to show him I'm my own man.
09:15I don't want to be kissed by you.
09:16That's the spirit, son.
09:19And when you come back, you'll be an educated gentleman.
09:22You can teach us all a thing or two.
09:25I'll try.
09:26Keep inside the carriage.
09:27You'll scare the horses.
09:29No chance.
09:30They've already seen your face.
09:34Man, you're right, Harry.
09:36Every week.
09:38Let us know if you need anything.
09:42I will.
09:42And don't do anything I do.
09:45Now, git.
09:52Come on.
10:08It'll be the making of him.
10:11Aye.
10:13I must get on.
10:15You going down the docks again?
10:17No, no, I can stay at home.
10:19No.
10:20No, we should keep busy.
10:26Dad.
10:28Mum's saying I have to sing you the afternoon tea thing.
10:31Why not?
10:33You have a grand voice.
10:37Look, your mother has her heart set on this.
10:39She wants them to see how great you are.
10:42Can you not just sing me one little song?
10:46Right, one song.
10:47One.
10:47And she's never parading me in front of all these fancy ladies again.
10:51Deal?
10:53Deal.
10:58Who does he think he is?
10:59Boss now, isn't he?
11:06Hey, what now, Joe?
11:08On to the next.
11:10The Lady Jane's just docked.
11:11Hey, but her catch is for the auction house.
11:13No, it's for us.
11:15Well, that's good to say, isn't it?
11:17Does it?
11:19Says we're not to touch her, so what do we do now?
11:23Maybe you should ask your dad.
11:25What's the hold up?
11:27The Lady Jane.
11:29That's our catch, isn't it, Dad?
11:31The skipper trying it on again, is he?
11:33Hoping we'll up the price?
11:34Go and tell him we made a bargain and if he breaks it,
11:36he'll have me to deal with.
11:38Go on.
11:44Give it time, Joe.
11:47It's not long since you were one of them.
11:49So were you.
11:51I'm a lot older.
11:54Experience.
11:55It's all you need.
11:57That's why you're here.
11:59To learn to manage your business.
12:03You see that sign up there?
12:06One day that'll read Joe Hardacre & Son.
12:09There'll be nobody prouder than you are, Dad.
12:13I won't let you down.
12:18I know.
12:22Mrs. Henderson does her best, but I fear that some of these items are beyond her skill.
12:30The more sophisticated refreshments are ordered from London.
12:34And please reassure your cook she may not burden her brain
12:36with anything more complicated than a cucumber sandwich.
12:40Very good, milady.
12:42Mrs. Henderson's a very clever cook.
12:44For the provinces, perhaps.
12:46We're in the provinces.
12:49Mary, dear heart, did the floral centerpieces arrive?
12:53They're in the parlor. Did you want to see them?
12:55Oh, no. I trust you completely.
12:57But we should inspect them soon, of course, in case of error.
13:01Could you be an angel?
13:03Yes. I'll give you a full report.
13:12If I might say so, milady.
13:15If this house is to entertain decent society with such a hostess,
13:25I thank God for the blessing of your good advice.
13:28Remember, the reputation of this once great house rests upon this tea party.
13:34And in the present situation, this responsibility falls entirely upon you.
13:42I understand, milady.
13:44I hope you do.
13:46With only two days to accomplish the seemingly impossible.
14:04This house in a flower shop now?
14:06No, these are the flowers for the tea party.
14:09Oh. Oh, I see.
14:13That lady M has taken you for every penny.
14:15No, it's not like that. She's helping me be accepted by ladies of quality.
14:19Why the hell would you want that?
14:21Well, you can't understand why I want to make friends.
14:23You've got friends. Be grateful for them.
14:26And don't drive them away by playing lady snooty draws.
14:44You know, I'd rather eat me own toes than sing, were you?
15:01Perhaps you should. It might be more enjoyable for the audience.
15:06You haven't even heard me yet.
15:08And I am grateful for small mercies.
15:14The boy I love is up in the gallery.
15:22The boy I love is smiling down at me.
15:28There is, can't you see, a waving of his handkerchief?
15:35As merry as a robin who sings from a tree.
15:44Where did you learn that?
15:46Musical.
15:48Well, Nancy Green went and she taught me.
15:51All the guttis share songs. Makes the work go faster.
15:55That sounds...
15:57What?
15:59Fun.
16:00Cutting fish isn't fun. It's hard bloody work.
16:04And you think it's easy being a lady?
16:08No, it isn't.
16:21So how's our joe getting on?
16:23Oh, very well. How did you skip?
16:26I thought Lily Emma was going to keep you all day.
16:29I left her with Mrs Dryden. The one I'd suck on.
16:33I'm glad you're here.
16:35I'm not just here to see you.
16:37Betsy, Lena, I've come to invite you both to a tea party.
16:43For a charity.
16:45We may not be fine ladies like Sinford, but we don't need charity yet.
16:49Give over, it's not that. I'm asking you as my guests.
16:53I suppose we don't want to go.
16:55Well, suppose we settle this the old way.
16:59A race.
17:01Doesn't Erin, if I win, it comes to the do. If I lose, I tell Sam to give you the day off.
17:06How's that sound?
17:07You're on.
17:08Someone give this woman a knife.
17:10Come on, take me at him.
17:12You'll ruin your frock.
17:14I'll give you head start and all.
17:16As soon as you're out of practice, don't you dare.
17:18As you wish, my lady.
17:21Betsy, be referee.
17:23Take your marks. Get set.
17:26Go!
17:32Come on, Sam.
17:34It's not a set off.
17:36Oh, no.
17:50She should be doing that.
17:52I'd like to see you stop her.
17:54Come on, girls.
18:02She's not.
18:04And I claim the prize.
18:08Right.
18:10You will come home, won't you?
18:12I could really do with a frown on my face.
18:14Why didn't you just say so?
18:20I just didn't want you to think I'd gone soft.
18:23Oh, yes.
18:26Good.
18:29And only order the best stuff, mind.
18:31Pork, brandy, champagne, whiskey, oysters, lobster.
18:36Ooh, and them little black fish eggs.
18:38Haven't you discussed this with Lady Fitzherbert?
18:42Why? Is she coming to me poker game?
18:44Your poker game?
18:46I thought you were talking about afternoon tea with the Duchess.
18:49No.
18:51This is much more exclusive.
18:54So who's invited?
18:56Well, there's Big Jonesy, Billy Three Fingers, Chinny the Butcher...
19:00And me.
19:04I only play with the big boys.
19:09Then you'll like playing with me.
19:11While you're here, Mrs...
19:13Call me Ma.
19:15Ma, when your breakfast tray was returned this morning,
19:19the creamer was missing.
19:21What have you got now?
19:23The cream jug.
19:25It's heavy, solid silver.
19:27Oh, sounds expensive.
19:30It is extremely valuable.
19:32Well, I don't think I'd have forgotten a thing like that.
19:34Have you checked down the back of the dresser?
19:40Right, well, happy hunting.
19:42And make sure you get our grub.
19:46The old yards.
19:48Tomorrow night, eight o'clock sharp.
19:51Right.
20:00Have you heard?
20:01Sam paid more than £1,000 for that thing.
20:04Old man's touched it in the head, if you ask me.
20:06Here, too much brass sent him queer.
20:12Something funny?
20:14No.
20:15Could have sworn I heard you talking to your father.
20:18I said that for all your dad's fine talk,
20:21he puts more store in lumps of metal than us.
20:24Let it go.
20:26Your dad don't need defending.
20:28But he's wrong.
20:30The crane will help all of us.
20:32My dad says when it's up and running,
20:34we can do the work in half the time.
20:36So you're saying our hours will get cut?
20:38No, I'm not saying that.
20:39So you mean there'll be layoffs?
20:40No.
20:41What must be one or the other? Which is it?
20:44I'll tell you when I'm good and ready.
20:46You don't know nowt.
20:48Better we ask the boss here, lads.
20:50You'll leave me dad out of this.
20:52I don't mean your dad.
20:53I mean Fred.
20:56Fred's not in charge round here.
20:58I am.
20:59And if I can run this place with fewer men than I will,
21:02I'll only keep the best.
21:04So you crack on or you'll be turned out.
21:06Keep talking like that and you'll have a strike in your hands.
21:10I wouldn't dare.
21:12I wouldn't, Blair.
21:13Boss.
21:21What's going on here, then?
21:24I'm sure we can sort this out.
21:26Just tell us what happened.
21:27He threatened to sack us.
21:28I never.
21:29Well, I didn't mean it.
21:33Nobody's getting a sack.
21:35Well, he says you're cutting back.
21:36Cutting back working hours.
21:38Working hours.
21:40Not wages.
21:43Why would you give us on it for now?
21:45Because it stands to reason.
21:47With shorter shifts, you'll be better rested.
21:49You'll work faster.
21:50There'll be less accidents.
21:52And you all know how I feel about that.
21:55I want to be proud of this place.
21:57Now, we've wasted enough time.
21:59Let's get on.
22:03Oi.
22:04You can't let him get away with that.
22:07What do you want me to do?
22:08Make an example of him.
22:10Blair St. Jack.
22:11Your mates.
22:12If you don't, I'll be a laughingstock.
22:14You'll get over it.
22:16And so will they.
22:18Take some time to cool down.
22:19At home.
22:21I'll see you tonight.
22:31Buttons shone good, Ty.
22:38Good afternoon, Master Joseph.
22:40Shove your afternoon.
22:47What's that?
22:48Lady Adella is accompanying Miss Liza in the drawing room.
22:53Oh, is she not?
22:58So bring back my Bonnie to me
23:03Bring back, bring back
23:08Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
23:13Bring back
23:16What?
23:18Excuse me, ladies.
23:19I just...
23:20I thought I could hear somebody talk to you in a cat.
23:22And I thought someone was putting in a hard day's graft.
23:25I am.
23:26You're home.
23:27And it's just gone lunchtime.
23:29I'm the manager.
23:30I can do what I want.
23:31Joint manager.
23:32With Fred.
23:34Fred's nothing.
23:36It's my name on the sign.
23:39And I'm sure you keep all those labourers in line.
23:42I do.
23:44And anywhere, this old place will be mine one day.
23:47I can sell up.
23:49Move to London.
23:51Live the high life.
23:53I have no doubt you'll cut quite a dash.
24:01John, smell that.
24:03Oh, you call this a drink?
24:04This is weaker than lemonade.
24:05That's vintage champagne.
24:07Here, let me liven it up for you.
24:09Steady.
24:11Oi, Billy Three Fingers.
24:13Look at my cats again, you'll be Billy No Fingers.
24:18Hey, man.
24:19Just you and me then, eh?
24:21Yeah.
24:24Read them in a week.
24:27She cleaned you out too?
24:29That was unbeatable.
24:30Aye, I am.
24:32Madam, before I pay up,
24:35I must shake the hand of the finest player I have ever encountered.
24:41Aye, all right.
24:43Come.
24:47Get off!
24:50How many kings you got up there, eh?
24:52Never you mind.
24:53How long you been cheating us?
24:55Oh, I don't know.
24:56How long have we been playing?
24:5820 years.
24:59We just wanted to expose you.
25:01Aye, well, that'll never happen again.
25:05Tinny, come on.
25:07And I'll be winning back me silver jug.
25:09Do it.
25:10I was something of nothing, really.
25:12I sent you home to calm down.
25:13It sounds to me the job's too much for him.
25:15He'll learn.
25:17Yeah, he better.
25:18I'll keep him out of trouble from tomorrow.
25:21Trust me.
25:24What's Tinny doing out of this house?
25:26Oh, this man.
25:27A wretched poker game, bringing all sorts up to the house.
25:29At least she'll have it out of her system by your tea party.
25:32Yeah, I've warned her.
25:33She better be seen and not heard tomorrow,
25:35because if one little thing goes wrong, there'll be a reckoning.
25:38You look fit to lead an army into battle.
25:41Sam, I'm fighting for our kids' future here.
25:43I want Liz to have a better chance in life than I did.
25:46I just want her to be happy.
25:48Well, you better hope that tomorrow goes well, then.
25:50Yeah, well, it will.
25:52You're in charge.
25:54Sam Hardick, don't you dare tamper like that.
25:59Don't you tap me like that.
26:14Now, Maggie, don't touch that.
26:16I was just looking.
26:18Is that supposed to be our house?
26:20That is a unique creation by a London confectioner.
26:24Well, I could have made it, if you'd have only asked me.
26:27It reminds me of the good old days,
26:29and of dear Sir William,
26:31our beloved Thornton Hall in sugar and cake.
26:35Hardick Hall.
26:37I beg your pardon.
26:39Maggie, you've completed your duties for now?
26:43Yes, all of them.
26:45Not all.
26:46Go and clean the outside privies.
26:49The gardeners and grooms, leave them in a fearful state.
26:52But that's not my job.
26:54It is now.
26:55And next time you answer me back,
26:57you'll be clearing up horse muck with your bare hands.
27:20Morning, Joe.
27:25Can you finish this?
27:27Aye, sir.
27:36I want to talk about yesterday.
27:39I'm sorry.
27:41I don't want to talk about yesterday.
27:43I don't want to talk about yesterday.
27:45I don't want to talk about yesterday.
27:47I want to talk about yesterday.
27:50No, I don't.
27:52I blame myself.
27:54I let you run around telling our plan to the men
27:56before you properly understood it.
27:58I understood.
27:59Not well enough.
28:01So I've decided you should stay in the office for now.
28:04I'm supposed to be manager.
28:06You will be.
28:07As soon as you're ready.
28:09Won't take long.
28:11He'll catch up to you, you know.
28:12Catch up?
28:13With you?
28:14Joe.
28:15You put him up to this?
28:17I make my own decisions, Joe.
28:19You know that.
28:20Right, Fred.
28:21Let's see how this crane's getting on.
28:23No, you stay here, Joe.
28:25See if you can balance your ledger this time.
28:27Come on, Fred.
28:45Come on.
29:15Come on.
29:45Come on.
29:46Come on.
