19
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,760
I think it's genuine,
the apology.

20
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,840
I think the editor really had
no idea

21
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,640
he was reprinting anything

22
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,240
other than a bona fide
marriage announcement.

23
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,680
Hmm.

24
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,880
Internal enquiries were made
at the newspaper office

25
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,960
about how the item
came to be reprinted.

26
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,800
It was inconclusive,

27
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,400
but the editor apologises
for not being more rigorous

28
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,640
before it went into print
a second time and for the...

29
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,840
...embarrassment it caused.

30
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,480
Oh, I wasn't embarrassed.

31
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,160
But this will satisfy
Miss Walker, at least,

32

to see it reprinted

Bradley has assessed
Northgate House.

36
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,960
He thinks I need to spend

37
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,960
another £1,000
to turn it into a good inn.

38
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,720
And then Thomas Greenwood's
all for leasing it

39
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:37,800
at £200 a year,

40
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,840
although Bradley thinks
I should be asking nearer 300.

41
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,360
Would it not be wise,

42

of repeating myself,

43

No! Good Lord, no.
We've had this conversation.

45
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,560
Oh, and I've decided
to accept Mawson's offer

the Stump Cross Inn.

Good. I'll tell him to come
and see you

50
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,600
And Mytholm, it looks like
Aquilla Green might take it.

51
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,160
Oh, I thought that Mallinson...

52
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Mallinson is a Yellow.

53
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,120
I spoke to him about it,

54
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,680
and he admitted he would
never dare give a Blue vote,

55
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,720
so that's that. I told him,

56
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,040
until he could,
we couldn't agree.

61
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,880

00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,040
I had to be really quite sharp
with Mr Nicholson

69

the other day,

70
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,040
due to the want of civility
shown Miss Walker

71
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,760

73

in rising above such nonsense,

74
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,400
but others won't,

75
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,560
not if they're addressed
so impertinently.

76
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,760
And then, where would
Mr Nicholson be? Hmm?

77
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,880
- Out of business.
- I agree.

if not some feeble attempt
to intimidate, to humiliate me?

81

Some cowardly effort
to point a finger

82
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,920
because they don't like
my opinions,

83
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,400
or the cut of my jib,
or any of it.

Well, we've been unlucky.
It collapsed at one point.

And then we had to put
everything on hold

Where will you sell it?
Up here or down in Halifax?

just below Whiskham,

162
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,520
then I can cart it down
into Halifax, sell it there

than I can at the pit mouth.

I'll be a friend to anyone
who'll be a friend to me.

177
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,160
Thank you.

178
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,960
Did you know
I've bought Staups?

179
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,400
So, you've got Spiggs colliery?

180
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,640
There's a little complication
that needs dealing with,

181
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,040
but, yes, strategically, potentially,

182
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,920
it gives me more options

183
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,080
and a lot more control
over the coal

184
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,840
across the whole of my estate.

185
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,160
Oh, I can see that.

186
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,840
If it's handled well.

187
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,720
I don't know
that I can rely on Holt

188
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,520
to come up with a good
solid, coordinated plan

189
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,800
and see it through

190
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,120
without me having to manage
the thing myself.

191
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,440
But if you helped me...

192
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,680
I've been thinking,
for a while,

193
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,400
about opening a new pit

194
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:20,800
further down this way.

195
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,400
Sounds like you've got a plan.

196
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,080
Why would you need me?

197
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,880
Because I don't know enough.

198
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,800
I learn more and more
every day,

199
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,040
and the more I learn,

200
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,960
the more I realise
how much can go wrong

201
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,800
and how much I <i>don't</i> know,

202
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,760
and what a slippery business
it all is.

203
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,120
See, this is why
I don't dislike Holt.

204
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:43,560
For all of his faults, I...

205
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,560
...I do believe
he's as straight as a die.

206
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,840
Whereas you, Hinscliffe,

207
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,560
I'm not really sure

208
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,920
I could trust you
any further than I could spit.

209
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,600
Not that I ever would.

210
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,320
You can think what you like
about me, Miss Lister,

211
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,840
but the bottom line is,

212
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,520
I'm hoping
if I do you a favour,

213
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:06,440
happen next time
I need one back,

214
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,680
you'd be more inclined
to oblige me

215
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,280
than you were last time.

216
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,040
What's this
little complication

217
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,760
that needs dealing with?

218
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,200
William Keighley and John Oates
and Jack Green believe

219
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,240
they have some kind of claim

220
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,440
to the loose coal
underneath Spiggs land,

221
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,560
which, to be clear,
I already owned,

222
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,360
but which they can only access
via my newly acquired colliery.

223
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,400
But there's nothing about it
in my uncle's records,

224
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,640
which there would be

225
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:35,600
if he'd have come to
an arrangement with them

226
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,680
about the loose.

227
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,440
So, I'm wondering
about flooding Spiggs,

228
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,520
which I can do
because I own it,

229
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:44,320
and stopping them
taking the loose.

230
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,160
Except, then, the worry is
I might flood Walker pit

231
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,680
at the same time,

232
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,720
before I've bottomed it
and got to the trespass.

233
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,880
You wouldn't.

234
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:57,800
Really?

235
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,120
If you flooded Spiggs,
it wouldn't touch Walker pit.

236
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,760
Oh?

237
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,000
Now, will you tell Holt

238
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,560
you're getting rid of him,
or shall I?

239
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:12,840
<i>(KNOCK ON DOOR)</i>

240
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,760
Holt.

241
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,240
I-I won't come in.

242
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,560
So, I need to talk to you about...

243
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,520
How are you, ma'am?

244
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:25,680
Very well. So, the thing is...

245
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,760
Thank you. The thing is...
What it is...

246
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,240
I was going to pop over
and see you today

247
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,840
about Mr Walker Priestley's
coal <i>and</i> Mrs Machin's coal.

248
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,080
What about them?

249
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,760
Well, he will sell his coal
at £160 an acre.

250
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,960
Both beds, hard and soft,
upper and lower.

251
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
I've offered him 140.

252
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,520
He's asked for ten days
to think about it,

253
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:45,760
but between you and me,

254
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,200
I'd go up to 160
rather than miss the deal,

255
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,720
because he'll be tempted to go
to Rawson otherwise.

256
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,560
And we don't want that, do we?

257
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,360
Not down there!

258
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,840
Same with t'Machins'.

259
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,200
Now, they've promised me
first refusal.

260
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,080
And it's more complicated again
with them, like.

261
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,480
- You know she drinks.
- Who does?

262
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,440
- She does. Mrs Machin.
- No, I didn't know that.

263
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,920
How...how would I know that?

264
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,760
Thing is,

265
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,280
the land was left half to her

266
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,760
and half to her children,
and they don't all get on.

267
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,640
Well, there's one daughter
in York Castle for debt.

268
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:21,400
So, they all have to agree who
they sell the coal rights to,

269
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,960
and they can hardly agree
which way is up,

270
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,600
never mind who they might sell
their coal to.

271
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,520
Now, I'm well in with 'em...

272
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:29,600
Well enough.
As well as anybody.

273
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,720
...and they'd sell it to me
rather than him,

274
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,240
Rawson, by choice -

275
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,200
me buying on your behalf,
of course -

276
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,720
not that they need know that.

277
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,800
But if he offers 'em a premium,

278
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,280
one of 'em might get it into
their heads to go with him.

279
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,640
And <i>you</i> can't let that happen.

280
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:47,160
Not down there.

281
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,920
Otherwise, Rawson's got

282
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,120
another back door
straight onto your beds.

283
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,520
Do you see that?

284
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:53,720
Mm.

285
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,760
If I was to flood
Spiggs colliery

286
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:01,920
to stop access
to the loose coal,

287
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,200
there's no danger

288
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,200
that I could accidentally flood
Walker pit

289
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,880
- at the same time, is there?
- Oh, yes.

290
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,720
Well, it's highly probable
you wou...

291
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,440
Who's told you different?

292
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,840
(SIGHS)
I don't know who to believe.

293
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,960
I was going to let Holt go,
but I...I need him.

294
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,680
I just need to manage them all better.

295
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,560
I told Holt
that he must take care

296
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,080
of Mr Walker Priestley's coal
for me, and the Machins',

297
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,240
and then I explained that
I'd instructed Hinscliffe

298
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,880
to work up a plan to look after
Walker pit for me.

299
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,120
How did he take that?

300
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,120
Badly, but...

301
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,520
...I need to glean
what I can from them all,

302
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:43,760
and then...

303
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,480
...make my own judgments.

304
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,480
Mm.

305
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,240
They say that Holt drinks, but...

306
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,720
...I've never smelt it on him.

307
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,800
Well, he's getting on a bit,
isn't he?

308
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,720
Perhaps he's just forgetting.

309
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,360
I'm sorry if I upset you...

310
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:10,040
...this morning.

311
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,160

I haven't always known how.

315
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,520
And I'm sorry if I said
the wrong thing.

316

Are you sure about
this Northgate business?

00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,400
Turning it into a hotel?

318
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,240
It'll cost money,

319
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,200
and...what if it fails?

320
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,200
You don't want to get yourself
laughed at.

321
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,200
Goodnight.

Was it not elegantly expressed?
Hmm?

You've put me in brackets!

354
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,680
It's a clause, an aside,
in a bigger paragraph

355
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,600
about when she and I hope...

356
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,760
...when we all will next meet.

357
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,080
Yes, I'm a clause,
I'm an aside.

358
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,320

It's an elegant interjection.

No, you've been
elegantly introduced.

00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,560
As an afterthought.

362
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,800
I'm sorry if you think
that's how it reads.

363
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:00,840
"I'm sorry if you think"?

364
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,040
Oh, I hate that.
That's what men say.

365
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,800
"I'm sorry if <i>you're</i> so stupid
that <i>you've</i> misunderstood."

366
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,840
I never said anything
about stupid, nor would I.

- It's implicit.

I wouldn't wish to put you
to the trouble.

You could merely delete
any reference to me.

and you laughed?

00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,200
...you laughed.

the real you...

You're stronger than you think.

421
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,920
What I'm wondering,
Miss Lister,

422
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,520
is if we've been thinking
too small.

423
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,240
I had expected ground plans
and elevations, Mr Bradley,

424
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,080
based on our last conversation,
not more sketches.

425
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:10,840
Oh, they're all under way.

426
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,040
But you've got all this land.

427
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,640
And I know that you want
your inn,

428
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,320
casino,
whatever you want to call it,

429
00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:18,720
up and running
by March next year,

430
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,640
but within that same
timescale - frame -

431
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,560
this all depends on
how ambitious you want to be.

432
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,040
Oh, I don't think anyone
can accuse me

433
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,040
of lacking ambition,
Mr Bradley.

434
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,160
So... Exactly.

435
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,440
So, what if -

436
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,760
and this is something you could
easily accommodate

437
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,560
in the available space -
it all depends upon

438
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,320
how much capital
you've got to play with -

439
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:40,160
but what if we were to build
new premises here too?

440
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,640
For, say, a bank?

441
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,320
And a newsroom?

442
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,680
And instead
of four or five houses,

443
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,280
you've enough land here
for 28 brand-new houses.

444
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,160
This entire area could become

445
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,880
a whole new commercial enclave
within the town,

446
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,280
and think of the income that
that could generate in rent.

447
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:08,920
Hmm.

448
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,040
You're going to need
a licence for this, er, inn,

449
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,280
casino, whatever
we're calling it this week.

450
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,560
And, if you're serious,
I'd apply for it now.

451
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,440
There's no point in throwing
money at the thing,

452
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,960
then finding that the
magistrates won't license it.

453
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Well, why wouldn't they?

454
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,760
Well, it's just
with Christopher Rawson

455
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,200
being the chief magistrate...

456
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,680
Well, he'd have no reason.

457
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,360
Such an establishment could
only be an asset to the town.

458
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,760
Yes, but we both know
what he's like.

459
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:43,400
Leave it with me.

460
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,480
Mr Bradley thinks

461
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,400
I'd need to spend
another £4,000

462
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,080
on this new scheme.

00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:50,320

464
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:52,640

that I'm not,

to question

I'm borrowing?

which they seem to think
he will be,

484
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,920
it'll trigger a by-election.

485
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,560
Another election? Oh...

486
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,760
And people are saying
Mr Rawson himself

487
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,600
- will stand this time.
- Mr Rawson?

488
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,800
- Mr Christopher Rawson?
- So vexed was he

489
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,600
by the attack on his property
a few short weeks ago.

490
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,720

be a better choice of candidate
for Halifax?

494

or the stomach for it.

might surprise us all,

Without doubt,
without question.

501
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,080
If he was
the chosen Tory candidate

502

and I had influence
over 1,000 votes,

503
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,160
then he should have
every one of them.

504
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,640
I just question
whether a man who has...

...offended members of some of
the oldest families in Halifax

506
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,480
is best placed to unite

in such difficult times.

- Mm. Well, Mr Rawson is...

00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,840

Perhaps, Dr Jubb,
when you do your rounds,

517
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,640
you could intimate
to anyone who's concerned

518
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,720
that others,
such as Mr Henry Edwards,

519
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,320
might be better placed
to lead the way

in anything political.

524
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,880
(DOOR CLOSES)

525
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,160
(FOOTSTEPS)

526
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,960
Mr Keighley.

527
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,120
Miss Lister.

528
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,160
Come through.

529
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,960
So, it's a record of
all the expenses I've had

530
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,160
driving the drift
through Well Royd Holmes.

531
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,200
Total's £507
16 shillings and fivepence,

532
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,200
which you'll appreciate
I'd not have spent

533
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,600
had I not had this agreement
with your uncle

534
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,360
over the Spiggs coal
in the first place.

535
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:36,880
Now, if you look in the back...

536
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,800
...you'll see
there's a memorandum.

537
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,080
£100. Paid by me,
to your Uncle James,

538
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:45,760
to get all the coal
in Spiggs land.

539
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,720
But the fact is,
there's no record

540
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,120
to corroborate any of this
in my uncle's accounts.

541
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,600
Well, I know nowt about that.

542
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,640
I just know I've spent
a lot of money in good faith.

543
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,160
Why is this memorandum
at the back

544
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,200
and not
in the correct chronology

545
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,600
with the earlier parts
of the accounts?

546
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,120
It... It's j...
It's just the way I did it.

547
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,920
I know it wouldn't stand up
in a court of law,

548
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,280
but, you know,

549
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,320
let's hope it doesn't
go that far.

550
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:13,520
It's just the only record
I've got of what we agreed.

551
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,240
The problem,
from my point of view,

552
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,720
and I only ever wish
to do that which is fair,

553
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,840
I've just bought Staups
for a significant sum,

554
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,400
and I need some return
on my investment.

555
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,880
If you try and get Spiggs coal,

556
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,200
I will flood the pit
to prevent access

557
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,080
and try the matter at York.

558
00:26:32,120 --> 00:26:34,400
I'm sorry, but there it is.

559
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,920
Not only did my uncle make
no record of it,

560
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,480
but he never mentioned anything
of the matter to me

561
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,680
at the time,
and nothing of this arose

562
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,960
in the last however many months
it's taken

563
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,680
to complete the purchase
of Staups,

564
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,240
with the searches
and so forth, so...

565
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,320
You do know,
if you flood Spiggs,

566
00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:58,080
you'll flood your little pit
up here.

567
00:26:58,120 --> 00:26:59,120
Not necessarily.

568
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,480
Almost certainly you would.

569
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,840
There seems to be some
difference of opinion on that.

570
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,160
Who's told you otherwise?

571
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,320
Hinscliffe?

572
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,400
(SCOFFS)
Well, he would say that.

573
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,440
He would say the opposite and
then happily watch it flood.

574
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,960
And do you know why?

575
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,840
Because he's had
more of your coal

576
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,960
than the Rawsons have.

577
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,680
Morning, ma'am.

578
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,160
Has Mr Hinscliffe been up
to see you today?

579
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,160
He popped up this morning.

580
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,800
I suppose you and your brothers
think I'm foolish

581
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,120
to trust him above Holt?

582
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:47,800
Who's to say?

583
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,000
I don't necessarily
trust him.

584
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,960
I'm just using him to get
some information from him.

585
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,680
If I was to stop the loose
at Spiggs,

586
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,520
how would it affect this pit,

587
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,960
in your opinion?

588
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,120
(STAMMERS)

589
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,000
Would it flood it,
or would it not flood it?

590
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,480
Well, our Robert would have
an opinion.

591
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,960
He'd certainly know
about Spiggs.

592
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,720
He's worked all the mines
round here.

593
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:10,840
Where is Robert?

594
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,240
(CHUCKLES)

595
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,400
- He's...digging.
- Ah.

596
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,680
Is it right, then,
what Mr Hinscliffe said?

597
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,360
You're thinking of sinking
another pit

598
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,960
further down, nearer the Hall?

599
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,560
Only I hope you'd consider us,
ma'am,

600
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:26,640
to sink it, if you did.

601
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,000
For the right price.

602
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,360
What's the plan, then?

603
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,840
The plan...

604
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,560
...would be to sink
this other pit somewhere,

605
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,240
50 or 60 yards
Shibden Hall side

606
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,520
of Walker pit,
and drive two drifts up to it

607
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,320
from such a place
in the lower land

608
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,600
as I could build a waterwheel
to power a pit engine.

609
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,360
Speak to Robert.

610
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,720
Tell him to come and see me

611
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,560
if he thinks he can be useful,
hmm?

612
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,280
Anne!

613
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,520
Ah. There you are.

614
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,600
I've found something
in my family papers.

615
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,440
Well, two things, actually.
One I half-knew,

616
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,760
but I'd half-forgotten,
and the other, I had no idea.

617
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,720
- What?
- Well,

618
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,200
it would appear that, erm...

619
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:28,960
- What?
- Well, erm,

620
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,120
that in 1831, my sister, legally,

621
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,760
through lease and re-lease
and some sort of deed of sale,

622
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,760
conveyed all of her property
onto Captain Sutherland.

623
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,560
All of it. Everything.
All her share of the estate.

624
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,800
And that's contrary,
directly contrary,

625
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,400
to a provision set out by
my father in his will,

626
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,280
which protects us both
from having to submit

627
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,840
our fortunes to any husbands.

628
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:50,960
Does it?

629
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,280
I mean, why would she do that?

630
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,240
Why would she give up
that protection?

631
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,440
And why would she not tell me
that's what she was doing?

632
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,840
So...
Hang on, so, your father...

633
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,680
So, my father made provision
in his will,

634
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,760
in the event
of my brother's death,

635
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,640
for me and Elizabeth
to jointly inherit everything.

636
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,520
But he also made
what I was always given

637
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,360
to believe
was an unshakeable clause,

638
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,000
contrary to the normal way
of doing things,

639
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,360
that stated that,
should we ever get married,

640
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,040
we must, and would,
retain ownership

641
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,480
in our own share of the estate, but...

642
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:16,920
That was interesting of him
to do that.

643
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,200
- Yes, but in 1831...
- He never mentioned this

644
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,400
when Ainsworth
was sniffing about.

645
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,160
Yes. No. Exactly.

646
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,200
He did it to deter
fortune-hunters like him.

647
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,360
But then, in 1831,

648
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,080
three years
after they were married,

649
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,480
she submitted everything
to him, to Captain Sutherland.

650
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,280
And, Anne, I...

651
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,280
I can't believe she would have
done that willingly.

652
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,800
He must've bullied and cajoled

653
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,720
and coerced her
into signing away her half

654
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,000
of the family's...everything,

655
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,440
knowing that it's contrary
to what my father intended.

656
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,960
Anne, she'd never hurt me.

657
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,280
There are few things
in this world

658
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,120
I have the confidence
to state so boldly,

659
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,480
but one thing I know for sure

660
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,040
is that Elizabeth would never
willingly cheat me

661
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,200
out of what's ours,
but she has, because of him.

662
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,280
Cheated you how?

663
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,240
Some of it's property
that, on her death,

664
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,760
would have reverted
to the estate, to me.

665
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,680
They don't know that I might
not still have children.

666
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,560
He's found a legal loophole
to make a mockery of it all

667
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,240
and to...well, to steal it.

668
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,160
What was the other thing?

669
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,840
So, John, my John,
always used to complain

670
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,680
that Mr Priestley
and his brother John

671
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,720
had worked their way
into my uncle's affections

672
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,520
till he ended up leaving them
things in his will

673
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,040
that should've remained
entailed to my father.

674
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,800
I never thought of it
as my business,

675
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,040
but here it is,
in black and white.

676
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,160
They have had three properties
from us.

677
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,680
Substantial properties.

678
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,080
Blackcastle, which is

679
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,840
an allotment
to High Sunderland,

680
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,120
Hall End in Halifax.
And Longley Farm

681
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,000
over in Norland.

682
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,000
My uncle had no right
to give them away,

683
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,240
and it galls me even more

684
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,080
since the Priestleys have been
so objectionable to us.

685
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,000
Parker drew this up.

686
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,000
But who did the legal work
on this other business

687
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,360
with Captain
and Mrs Sutherland?

688
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,520
Erm...

689
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,840
Parker and Adam.
I've never liked Parker.

690
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,480
I don't know why you put
so much faith in him.

691
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,520
Maybe it's not irreversible.

692
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,760
Let's go and consult Mr Gray
in York on both matters.

693
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,760
Do you think my family
have any clue

694
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,640
about what
Captain Sutherland's done?

695
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,960
Of course we knew. We all knew.

696
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,000
All but me!

697
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,280
Oh, well, you weren't well.
We kept it from you.

698
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,160
All your cousins and uncles
and aunts knew.

699
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,280
And it's precisely

700
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,360
because of it that we've been
so zealous in trying to protect

701
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,040
you and your fortune.

702
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,600
But, no,
Elizabeth wouldn't have...

703
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,280
Elizabeth did it
without scruple!

704
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,240
I don't believe for a second...

705
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,840
He ran rings around her.

706
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,360
She'd have done
anything he asked.

707
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:39,760
Sense was out of the window.

708
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,400
She might well regret it now,
now it's too late.

709
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,000
And that weak,
odious Robert Parker...

710
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,440
He was meant to be acting
for the family,

711
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,880
but, no, no...

712
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,440
No, Sutherland ran rings
round him too.

713
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,760
I'm half-minded
to change <i>my</i> will.

714
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,200
I thought you already had.

715
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,200
No. When? No.

716
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,360
You made Miss Lister
your executor

717
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,920
instead of your cousin,
Mr Priestley, last year.

718
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,320
Who told you that?

719
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,760
She did.

720
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,200
Last spring.

721
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,560
When you went missing,

722
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,840
when you absented yourself
in York.

723
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,040
She used to come over here,
laying the law down...

724
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,880
I made her my executor, yes,

725
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,480
but the contents
remain unchanged.

726
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,440
I certainly wouldn't change it
without telling you,

727
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,640
even if others have behaved
as they have.

728
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,200
What? What's the matter?

729
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,760
I...

730
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,400
Oh.

731
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,320
Aunt?

732
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,360
I, erm...

733
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,200
Well, I had imagined,

734
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,280
with all this talk of a formal
division of the estate,

735
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,520
that you had already changed
the will itself.

736
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,800
How? No.

737
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,240
In Miss Lister's favour.

738
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,320
Well, that's...

739
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,960
...a possibility.

740
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,320
And, yes,
if I never have children,

741
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,880
and if Miss Lister and I
were to continue

742
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,760
as such kind companions, well,

743
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,400
yes, I hope we would think
to make some provision

744
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:14,560
for one another,

745
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,000
but as things stand,

746
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,680
no, it still all goes
to Elizabeth

747
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:19,440
and then to Sackville.

748
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,520
Well...

749
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:22,600
...I changed mine

750
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,880
when you moved
into Shibden Hall.

751
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,720
I removed you from it -
in Elizabeth's favour.

752
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,360
There was a letter for you
this morning.

753
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,480
In the postbag.

754
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,800
From Washington.

755
00:34:58,080 --> 00:34:59,360
Where is it?

756
00:35:00,720 --> 00:35:02,160
Oh, do you want to see it?

757
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,240
I don't know.
Is it interesting?

758
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,520
The distresses you requested
have all been carried out.

759
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,520
(WHISPERS)
I didn't request anything.

760
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:16,040
A Mrs Greaves went
to Shibden Hall begging

761
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,280
not to be evicted,
but, apparently,

762
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,960
your sister
wouldn't hear of it.

763
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,960
She was determined
to carry out the, er...

764
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,160
...your...our...

765
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,800
...request to the very letter.

766
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,840
What a cruel time of year
to evict people.

767
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,960
Well, yes, I agree.

768
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,520
But if she wants
a division of the estate,

769
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,920
things must be put in order.

770
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,800
Washington tells me

771
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,080
he's submitted a proposal
to her - to Ann -

772
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,960
for what he believes
to be a fair division

773
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,240
of the various lots
of the estate,

774
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,600
based partly on contiguity

775
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,440
and partly on value.

776
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,960
So we shall see
what she sends us

777
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,800
when she's gone through it.

778
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,440
Although, I'm tempted...

779
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,400
- Oh, I don't know.
- What?

780
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,000
I still don't know why
there's this great urgency

781
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:03,760
for the thing.

782
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,400
There's something
in her last few letters.

783
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,200
This... (SIGHS)

784
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:12,680
...litigious tone.

785
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:15,360
She's suddenly become
so confident,

786
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,360
so well informed.

787
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,040
I'm wondering whether
you shouldn't write to her

788
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,320
and say that,
whilst in principle

789
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,120
we...you're happy
with the division,

790
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,040
you think it might be better
to wait

791
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,080
until we can visit them.

792
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,600
When the weather's
better for travelling.

793
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,400
That would be...

794
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,600
Yes, I'd like that.

795
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,600
Good. Good!

796
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,000
I think, before we sign off
on the thing,

797
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,880
we should satisfy ourselves

798
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:48,320
there's nothing nefarious
going on with your family.

799
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,320
Although, as I say,

800
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,240
I always imagined
Miss Lister would protect her

801
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,040
- from any nonsense.
- Mm.

802
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,920
Yes, curious woman...

803
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:58,680
...Miss Lister.

804
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,560
Well, I'm delighted

805
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,520
Miss Walker's gone
to see her aunt.

806
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,560
Not that I dislike her,
not for a moment.

807
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:06,640
I'm thrilled for her.

808
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:11,400
I'm just jealous that she has
you to gaze at all day.

809
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,800
- When I'm in.
- (CHUCKLES)

810
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,520
This is the second time
in three months.

811
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,000
What are you after?

812
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,680
Only to gaze upon you.

813
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,720
I was telling you about
my planned developments

814
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,280
- at Northgate House.
- Oh, yes.

815
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,640
Your Uncle Joseph
would be livid!

816
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:30,680
(LAUGHS) Yes.

817
00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:32,880
Yes,
but the world moves forward,

818
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,960
and sometimes
we have to move with it.

819
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,440
And don't you agree,
Mrs Rawson,

820
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,960
that this whole enterprise
could be a huge boon

821
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,880
- for the town?
- Oh, yes, yes.

822
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,360
Well, the town gets bigger
by the week.

823
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,520
Precisely.

824
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,560
And this could create
a whole new enclave.

825
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:49,800
And I'm not such a noodle

826
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,440
as to refuse what would pay
such good returns.

827
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,440
A whole new quarter.

828
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,280
As long as no-one
were to obstruct me

829
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,520
in getting a licence
for my casino. Inn.

830
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,280
- Hotel.
- Oh,

831
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,000
is that what you're after?

832
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,480
My influence.

833
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,520
Well, I would hope
I wouldn't need it.

834
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,560
As I say, I would hope
that such a venture

835
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,560
would be eloquent
of its own merits.

836
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,360
But, certainly,
one word from you

837
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,280
in the right ear,

838
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,680
would be worth 1,000
from anybody else...

839
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:25,040
(KNOCK ON DOOR)

840
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:26,840
Mr Rawson...

841
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,320
- (MOUTHS)
- ...Mrs Rawson.

842
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,240
Mother!

843
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,280
- Oh, hello.
- Mr Rawson.

844
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,320
Christopher, is it true

845
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,880
what Miss Lister tells me,
that you're standing

846
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,120
- for Parliament?
- Oh, you've heard!

847
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,840
Is it wise?

848
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,400
Yes, I've put my name forward
and expect to be adopted

849
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,640
at the next committee meeting.

850
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,320
You have too many trades.

851
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,880
- Who said that?
- Me. I said it.

852
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,680
No point in looking
at Miss Lister.

853
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:55,520
And it's what your father
used to say too.

854
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,040
What a shame

855
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,360
you can't stand for Parliament,
Miss Lister.

856
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,560
With your superior intellect

857
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,880
and your powers of diplomacy
and persuasion,

858
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,640
you would've stood
head and shoulders

859
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:08,960
above anyone else!

860
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,440
Good Lord, look at the time.

861
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,960
She should be running
the country.

862
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,680
Yes, what a shame.

863
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:16,600
Oh, she's not leaving.

864
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:18,200
I was very sorry,

865
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:21,920
Mr Rawson, to hear about
the mindless vandalism

866
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,200
- at Hope Hall.
- Yes, well...

867
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:26,760
And to assure you,
as I told Dr Jubb,

868
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,760
that, if you are to be
Tory candidate for the town

869
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,560
and I had influence

00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,600
Then this pit at Pump,
you'd have it working

1046
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,480
just as soon
as it were bottomed,

1047
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,200
and it'd serve as a vent
to Walker pit.

1048
00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:31,040
This way, all the coal
above the Wakefield Road

1049
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:32,760
and between the two pits

1050
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:33,920
could be pulled at Walker pit,

1051
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,440
and all the coal below
Wakefield Road

1052
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:36,560
could be pulled
at this new pit at Pump.

1053
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,480
And then you'd be left
with a good barrier of coal

1054
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:39,880
all along this side up here.

1055
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:41,960
So in fact you could stop
Spiggs colliery

1056
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:43,760
any time you liked
after this second one's sunk,

1057
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,560
and let all that face of coal
stand covered in water,

1058
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,360
ready to throw it
on Mr Rawson's works

1059
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,040
any time you wanted, which,
if he hadn't have trespassed,

1060
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,560
you would never have
been able to do, so...

1061
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,120
It'd be a way of proving
his trespass too.

1062
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:57,400
And anyone else's.

1063
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,000
(MOUTHS)

1064
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,920
SAMUEL: How long do they say
it'll take to construct it?

1065
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,960
To dig the drifts and sink
the pit - eight months.

1066
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,000
As to the dam...

1067
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,480
You'd have to give Carr notice
to quit the Well Royd land

1068
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,200
if you're going to turn it
into a dam.

1069
00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:28,240
His tenancy's up
in eight months, so...

1070
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,040
I've calculated that,
for the volume of water needed

1071
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,560
to turn
an 18ft-diameter waterwheel,

1072
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,680
the dam needs to be four
feet deep across two acres,

1073
00:49:35,720 --> 00:49:37,960
so with that
and the dam goit,

1074
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,120
we could be up and running
in 12 months.

1075
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,280
Do you know anyone
with a theodolite?

1076
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:56,920
Mr Priestley.

1077
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:00,080
Miss Lister.

1078
00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:03,160
Were you at the Hall?

1079
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,000
Yes, I...

1080
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:06,760
Yes, I went to see your father.

1081
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,560
And your sister.

1082
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:12,320
And my cousin,
but she wasn't in.

1083
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:15,280
No, she's in Huddersfield,
visiting her cousin Catherine.

1084
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,200
Yes.

1085
00:50:17,240 --> 00:50:19,440
- So you've missed her.
- Yes.

1086
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,240
Well, then, you've missed her
and you've caught me.

1087
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,480
That probably wasn't the plan
at all, hmm?

1088
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,000
Plan?

1089
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,440
I was hoping she might like
to make a subscription

1090
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,640
to the clergyman's
widow's fund.

1091
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,240
It's not beyond
the realms of possibility.

1092
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,720
Well, then.

1093
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,560
You'll have to try again
another time.

1094
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,000
Miss Lister.

1095
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,360
Mr Priestley.

1096
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:07,560
ANNE: <i>My dear Mary.</i>

1097
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,680
<i>I can't at the moment
turn to the item</i>

1098
00:51:09,720 --> 00:51:11,280
<i>from the newspaper
that you refer to,</i>

1099
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,800
<i>and so I must send it
another time,</i>

1100
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,800
<i>but the announcement was,
in substance,</i>

1101
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,000
<i>"The marriage
of Captain Tom Lister</i>

1102
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:20,440
<i>"of Shibden Hall</i>

1103
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,920
<i>"and Miss Ann Walker,
late of Crow Nest."</i>

1104
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,440
<i>On discovery of the hoax,</i>

1105
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,320
<i>a handsome volunteer apology
was sent</i>

1106
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,040
<i>by the editor
of one of the papers,</i>

1107
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:31,680
<i>and here the matter ended,</i>

1108
00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:33,160
<i>for nobody was annoyed</i>

1109
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,560
<i>and nobody cared about it.</i>

1110
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,680
- Ma'am?
- Yes, thank you.

1111
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,440
Thank you, Rachel.

1112
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,440
Thank you, Hemingway.

1113
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,240
We should start packing
for tomorrow.

1114
00:51:58,280 --> 00:51:59,920
I ordered the horses for nine.

1115
00:51:59,960 --> 00:52:02,280
We should be in York by one.

1116
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,000
I'm not sure about
this Mr Bradley.

1117
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,880
I'm not convinced his intellect
matches his ambition.

1118
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:12,040
Shall I do the duty?

1119
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,360
I didn't tell you this because...

1120
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,000
I don't know.

1121
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,920
When you went to see Catherine
the other day,

1122
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,720
and Mr Priestley called,

1123
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,960
he was flustered and,

1124
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:30,480
I don't know,

1125
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:34,600
I wondered whether it was him
who wrote that letter -

1126
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,160
or her, or both of them -

1127
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,600
and he was calling
to see what effect it'd had.

1128
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,160
I don't care who sent it.

1129
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:48,720
It's irrelevant.

1130
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,360
I don't think we should
mention it again.

1131
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,480
I told Catherine
about what Elizabeth had done.

1132
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,040
Did she know?

1133
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,960
No. I think she'd have told me
if she did.

1134
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:10,760
We will sort this out.

1135
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,360
It just saddens me.

1136
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:19,760
What does?

1137
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:24,360
Thinking about what
it's all for.

1138
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,040
And...

1139
00:53:29,240 --> 00:53:30,800
...without children...

1140
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,200
...I'm not sure
what it is all for.

1141
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:37,840
And is it not...

1142
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:41,800
Not?

1143
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,360
...God's purpose that we...

1144
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,160
...people...have children?

1145
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,640
I just regret that
it will all go to them,

1146
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,040
ultimately, to Sackville.

1147
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,400
I never did
before...before this, but...

1148
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,080
...it's just made me
dwell on it all,

1149
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,360
and I suppose
I had always imagined that...

1150
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:13,600
...one day...

1151
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:16,560
...I would have...

1152
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,200
...children of my own,
that's all.

1153
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,360
You once told me you felt
a kind of repugnance...

1154
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:31,160
...to forming any sort
of connection

1155
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:32,360
with the opposite sex.

1156
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:33,800
It's not the same thing.

1157
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:34,880
Isn't it?

1158
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:38,840
You mean,
you'd imagined children,

1159
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,320
but not marriage...

1160
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:43,280
...to a man?

1161
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:45,360
I don't know. Yes.

1162
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,760
Somehow, I...

1163
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:49,800
...had imagined being...

1164
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,400
...a mother,

1165
00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,120
but not being, you know,
with a man.

1166
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,680
So you haven't given up
all thought

1167
00:55:01,720 --> 00:55:02,920
of ever having children?

1168
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,400
It's not... It doesn't signify,
does it? I'm with you.

1169
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,360
It does signify.

1170
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,080
Because I need to have
the confidence

1171
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,080
that this thing between us
is truly settled,

1172
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,480
and I'm not just keeping
you warm

1173
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,200
until some man comes along.

1174
00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:17,800
(SIGHS) It's much the same
as I told Marian

1175
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,680
over Mr Abbott -
you'll not find me

1176
00:55:19,720 --> 00:55:22,800
any obstacle to something
you have very much at heart.

1177
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:23,840
Don't say that.

1178
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,360
Because I can be as a meteor
in your life,

1179
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,240
if that's what you'd like,
a meteor that burns

1180
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:31,240
more brightly than anything
you could ever imagine,

1181
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,160
and then is gone.

1182
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:34,320
For ever!

1183
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:43,920
Things like this.

1184
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:45,320
All my life!

1185
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:46,960
I pretend it gets easier,
but it doesn't.

1186
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,960
- Anne...
- We do things for <i>us.</i>

1187
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:50,840
That's who it's for.

1188
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,120
So that we can have a life
together. <i>We</i> matter.

1189
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:55,840
Having children
isn't the only reason

1190
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:57,800
to strive and do well

1191
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,200
and better oneself
and be happy.

1192
00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:01,160
I'm sorry.

1193
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,680
It is, I've said it before,

1194
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:08,000
a great sadness that
we can never have children.

1195
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:09,960
But if you're not certain

1196
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,320
it isn't something you'll want
in the future, then...

1197
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:15,640
...I need to know
about that now.

1198
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,760
Because it's something
that I can never give you.

1199
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,520
Just as we can never have

1200
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,440
a piece of paper that says
we have any kind of legal union

1201
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:25,880
to bind us,

1202
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,480
neither can we have the bond
a child would give us.

1203
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:30,920
So we have to be certain...

1204
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:32,120
You're frightening me.

1205
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:33,640
- I'm frightening you?
- I'm sorry.

1206
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:34,960
You have to be certain...

1207
00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:37,880
...before we set off for York,

1208
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:41,120
before we think any further
about changing our wills,

1209
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:45,680
that this, here, with me,
is what you want.

1210
00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:48,840
I want to be with you
more than anything

1211
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,720
in the whole world.
You know that!

1212
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:51,760
Nevertheless...

1213
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:54,280
...it is a great sacrifice,

1214
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:58,480
and if you're not sure
