00:09:03Listen to me, darling.

00:09:11You've had a bad dream.

00:09:14The servants told me you had too much to eat today and were sick.

00:09:19You do understand, don't you, Annabeth?

00:09:23Yes, papa.

00:09:27No.

00:09:28We don't want to upset your mama, do we?

00:09:30Okay. So we'll say nothing to her about it.

00:09:36No, papa.

00:09:53If one word of this gets to your mistress, you'll find yourself out of here and you won't get into service within six counties.

00:09:58I'll see to that. Understand.

00:10:53But he struck you.

00:10:54No, Miss, he never, not the master.

00:10:57He's a gentleman.

00:11:00And gentlemen would never do anything bad, Miss.

00:11:03They wouldn't.

00:28:18meow

00:28:19meow

00:28:40meow

00:28:42meow

00:28:44meow

00:29:01It's a very brave thing to do.

00:29:02It was no trouble.

00:29:04You Irish?

00:29:05I was brought up in Ireland, but I'm a Spaniard.

00:29:08What's your name?

00:29:09Manuel Mendoza.

00:29:10Have you been here long?

00:29:12In a glass house.

00:29:13A few weeks.

00:29:13I shan't be staying long.

00:29:17Not cut out to be a glass man.

00:29:19Well, look, here's something for your trouble.

00:29:24No thanks all the same.

00:29:27I don't need pain for that.

00:29:33Extraordinary man.

00:29:34I wonder if he's any good with his fists.

00:29:36I'm looking for someone to help him win a wager or two.

00:29:38This Spaniard is my man.

00:29:39Ah, but it sounded as though he was looking for pastures new.

00:29:43Yeah, but it's okay.

00:29:47I know for you, too.

00:29:51Maybe he heard them.

00:29:53He's looking for us, like, single figures for you.

00:29:57I wonder if I'm feeling for him.

00:30:04Oh, my God!

00:30:04I can't get to sleep.

00:30:32Are you enjoying the holidays?

00:30:34Not much.

00:30:35Uncle James and Aunt Emma never invite anyone my own age.

00:30:39But I have to come.

00:30:41They've been so good to me since my parents died.

00:30:44Do you know what I wish?

00:30:46That I was 17.

00:30:47Because Papa has promised when I'm 17, I can go to London and go to a ball.

00:30:52And perhaps I'll dance with you.

00:30:54Except you'll be dancing with all the really pretty girls.

00:30:58Do you suppose I'll grow up pretty enough?

00:31:00Oh, Annabella, of course you will.

00:31:02Oh, Stephen, I do love you.

00:31:03Oh, dearie!

00:31:07Don't hurt me!

00:31:09Don't touch me! Don't touch me, child!

00:31:11Don't touch me! Don't touch me!

00:31:13Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Don't you kill him!

00:31:15I'll kill you! Don't tell me, I'll kill you!

00:31:27Annabella is with Miss Pycliffe. Thankfully, Stephen is recovering.

00:31:31You're always ready to find fault with me, aren't you?

00:31:33But your wretched family can do no wrong.

00:31:35Even when your nephew is caught trying to seduce an innocent child.

00:31:39They explained, and I believe them.

00:31:42And you dare talk of innocence.

00:31:44That monstrous charade today to take the child along a street of brothels.

00:31:48That painted woman.

00:31:50Is it a sin for a mother to see her daughter once in a while?

00:31:54As Annabella's father, when it's time for her to marry,

00:31:59I shall choose the husband.

00:32:01And you can forget about any romantic notions you have for her and Stephen.

00:32:04He will never set foot in this house again. Understand?

00:32:09He's gone!

00:32:10He's gone!

00:32:11He's gone!

00:32:12He's gone!

00:32:13Oh, God.

00:32:43Oh, God.

00:32:55So, who started the fight?

00:32:57I just asked them their way to Mr. George Boston's place, and they set upon me.

00:33:01Why are you going to Mr. Boston?

00:33:04One of the glassmen told me he breeds horses.

00:33:07I'd love to work with horses again. Dearly, I would.

00:33:10Well, you're miles from Boston's place.

00:33:13I was looking for a new groom and someone to teach my daughter how to ride.

00:33:17I could learn her.

00:33:19Good. You can come along with me, then.

00:33:22I'll tell the works manager in the morning.

00:33:25Do you know anything about boxing?

00:33:27Boxing?

00:33:28You look strong enough.

00:33:30Aye, but I've no desire to be the man's facing.

00:33:36Sir.

00:33:38Sir.

00:33:42Splendid.

00:33:43What?

00:33:56I'm sorry.

00:33:59I'm sorry.

00:34:01Let's go.

00:34:31Let's go.

00:35:01Hey, Mr. Armourer, look at that.

00:35:08Oh, aye.

00:35:10I heard all about his exploits yesterday.

00:35:13He had to prove himself in the job, though, hasn't he?

00:35:15He had to prove himself in the job, though, and he had to prove himself in the job.

00:35:27He had to prove himself in the job.

00:35:30He had to prove himself in the job, and he had to prove himself in the job.

00:35:45I see you're putting her on Chester.

00:35:56Good choice.

00:35:57He's docile enough.

00:35:58This is my daughter, Annabella.

00:36:00I want her to ride, and ride well.

00:36:04Let's see her mount up, then.

00:36:07It's better after you've gone, sir.

00:36:10Oh, there's a boxing bout at Marsden, Saturday night, six o'clock.

00:36:16You can come with me.

00:36:18Very good, sir.

00:36:19Beautiful grounds and gardens you have here, Miss.

00:36:44So, I've never seen the like.

00:36:47You're a pretty fella.

00:36:59Pretty?

00:37:00Oh, sir.

00:37:02Don't you be laughing at him, Miss.

00:37:05Of course, those are like humans.

00:37:07They want you to like them.

00:37:09Walker.

00:37:09So, if they get the feeling you don't like them, well, they won't like you.

00:37:15It's only natural.

00:37:17Never thought of that.

00:37:24Were you always a groom?

00:37:27Never, Miss.

00:37:29After my parents died, I was brought up by a kind family who reared horses for the gentry.

00:37:33My cousin Stephen is an orphan, too.

00:37:36Oh, I shouldn't mention personal matters, too.

00:37:40To a servant, Miss?

00:37:42No matter.

00:37:44I'm not the gossiping kind.

00:37:54Little thing horses love.

00:37:56They love to have children, said Nana.

00:37:59But your child has a nice, comfortable weight.

00:38:02You want to try?

00:38:04Shh.

00:38:06There, now.

00:38:07Don't be afraid of him.

00:38:14Now, put your hands on his mane and hold tight.

00:38:27Manuel.

00:38:28Manuel.

00:38:30Jester likes me.

00:38:32He likes me, doesn't he?

00:38:33Of course he likes you.

00:38:45He likes me.

00:38:47Come on.

00:39:17What time they stopped it? That boy's had enough.

00:39:36Stop it? Stop them as they go to 40 or 50 rand.

00:39:40I'd think twice before anyone beat my face to a pulp for money.

00:39:44A bit squeamish, are you?

00:39:47Yes!

00:40:00Mendoza, you did do your share of mucking out along with the others.

00:40:04Don't think you're special just because you're the master's choice.

00:40:08I'm sorry, Mr. Honour. I didn't mean to shirk my duties.

00:40:12What can you expect from an Irish mick?

00:40:15Don't you ever call me that again. Do you hear?

00:40:25Don't ever call me that again.

00:40:28Armourer!

00:40:32Just a little joke, sir.

00:40:33A joke? That man could be the best fighter in the country.

00:40:36Mendoza, what are you earning here?

00:40:39Whatever it is. I'll give you half as much again if you come and work for me.

00:40:47Good morning, Manuel. Good morning, Chester.

00:40:50No, thank you, Mr. Buston. I'm more than happy here.

00:41:20I'm your host of Buston. I'm your host of Buston. I'm not happy here.

00:41:27Bye-bye.

00:41:32ORGAN PLAYS

00:42:02Good morning.

00:42:05You're out of your way.

00:42:07I want a ride out from the hall at Redford.

00:42:09Then this must be the young miss.

00:42:12And who are you?

00:42:13I'm Manuel Mendoza, mother.

00:42:15I work at the stables there.

00:42:17Are you planting flowers?

00:42:20Herbs.

00:42:21Herbs for cooking, medicine,

00:42:23poultices,

00:42:25and beer.

00:42:29Would the two of you

00:42:30like a sip of my ginger beer?

00:42:33I've never tasted ginger beer.

00:42:36Ah, then you shall.

00:42:47That is the best brew I ever had.

00:42:50You can come again

00:42:51any time you wish

00:42:52and have some more.

00:42:53They're both here.

00:42:55May I ask your name, mother?

00:42:57I'm Amy Stratford, widow.

00:43:01You can call me Amy.

00:43:09One, two, three.

00:43:11I want to tell you a secret.

00:43:24I want to tell you a secret.

00:43:26Mr. Stephen and I had to be married.

00:43:41Ooh.

00:43:43Does he know about this?

00:43:45We don't actually discuss it in our letters,

00:43:48but he knows inside.

00:43:50Do you understand?

00:43:51I do.

00:43:54Indeed, I do.

00:43:57And when's this going to happen?

00:43:59When I'm 16 or 17.

00:44:0217 at the latest.

00:44:03Mm.

00:44:03One, two, three.

00:44:12Manuel?

00:44:14Yes?

00:44:15I want to say something.

00:44:16I think you're my friend

00:44:20and I should like to be your friend.

00:44:31You know,

00:44:32I've never been knighted by a king.

00:44:35But what do I care of that

00:44:37after receiving such an honor?

00:44:40Thank you, Miss Annabella.

00:44:43I'm yours for life.

00:44:46Thank you, Miss Annabella.

00:45:16It's official.

00:45:26The factory's bringing in almost nothing.

00:45:28It has to close.

00:45:31Well, it's as we feared, then.

00:45:33The servants will have to go

00:45:34and we shall close up the house.

00:45:37And where do you suppose we shall live?

00:45:39I shall go and live in the cottage with Mother.

00:45:42And naturally, Pikelet will come with me.

00:45:44What do you mean?

00:45:47I shall be free of you.

00:45:48That's what I mean.

00:45:49Oh, really?

00:45:50You seem to have this very well planned.

00:45:52And where shall I live?

00:45:53On the fells?

00:45:54What you decide to do

00:45:55is of no interest to me.

00:45:57Isn't it?

00:45:58Well, my dear,

00:45:58I have no intention of living anywhere but here.

00:46:00You must have some source of income

00:46:02we don't know of.

00:46:03I shall have.

00:46:05And what of Annabella?

00:46:07Stephen will be up here soon to propose to her.

00:46:09I'm sure of it.

00:46:11Mama!

00:46:12Oh, good morning, Papa.

00:46:16What is it?

00:46:19Annabella,

00:46:19you do understand what's happening, don't you?

00:46:22The glass works is to close.

00:46:25Life will be very different for us all.

00:46:27Mama explained a little, yes.

00:46:30Do you have any idea what will happen to you?

00:46:32Why?

00:46:34Marriage, Papa.

00:46:35Why are you tormenting the child?

00:46:37Annabella is to marry Stephen.

00:46:38We've taken it for granted for years.

00:46:40Oh, he is going to marry her, is he?

00:46:42Yes, Papa.

00:46:43He loves me.

00:46:44The engagement is announced between

00:46:48Mr. Stephen Conway Redford

00:46:49of Weirbank House, Durham

00:46:51and Miss Kathleen Wainhart

00:46:53of Ascot, Berkshire.

00:46:55What?

00:46:59You mustn't worry yourself, my little darling,

00:47:02because you're going to save us all.

00:47:03You're to marry a man

00:47:04who's watched you grow,

00:47:06who's had his eye on you

00:47:07and has also made me a very generous offer.

00:47:11Oh, God.

00:47:12Boston.

00:47:14No.

00:47:17No, I won't do it.

00:47:19I won't marry him.

00:47:21He's loud and vulgar and I'm feeling...

00:47:23He's the best offer you're likely to get.

00:47:25You'd marry her off to that man in return for...

00:47:27How much, Edmund?

00:47:30How much will she fetch?

00:47:32Everything I need.

00:47:33You'd sell your daughter.

00:47:35Don't worry, I won't do it, Mama.

00:47:37I will never marry Mr. Boston.

00:47:39Oh, won't you?

00:47:40You still haven't told me how you're going to live.

00:47:42You won't marry Boston.

00:47:44Your precious Stevens betrayed you.

00:47:45So tell me, where will you go?

00:47:48I'll go with Mother.

00:47:49To Grandmama's.

00:47:51Grandmama's never been able to stand the sight of you.

00:47:53Edmund.

00:47:54Edmund.

00:47:54Oh, I'm sorry, Rosina.

00:47:56Have I said something I shouldn't?

00:47:59You thankless little bastard.

00:48:02Do you want to know who your real mother is?

00:48:04It's not her.

00:48:05No, no, no.

00:48:06Your real mother is Jessie Connolly from Crane Street.

00:48:10That's right, Hallabilly.

00:48:11Your mother's a whore.

00:48:12She's been nothing but a nursemaid.

00:48:23Mama?

00:48:28I wish God would strike you down where you stand.

00:48:32Mama, you haven't answered me.

00:48:42I wish God would take you down.

00:48:43God 누나.

00:48:44I wish God would strike you down.

00:48:45You skills for help.

00:48:46Lord, never be.

00:48:47I wish God would strike you down.

00:48:48I heard.

00:49:18I should think the whole county heard.

00:49:23Don't worry, Miss Annabella.

00:49:28I wouldn't take you now.

00:49:48Don't worry, Miss Annabella.

00:50:04Don't worry, Miss Annabella.

00:50:20Don't worry, Miss Annabella.

00:50:36Don't worry, Miss Annabella.

00:50:52You're not leaving, here to see Annabella.

00:51:10Senior Annabella, and I've heard her.

00:51:13you and I have got some settling up to do. oh she was upset once she gets used to me. I wouldn't marry her now

00:51:17even if she wanted me. as for the money you owe me you can keep your house. I'll take your horses

00:51:23and Manuel Mendoza. listen George I'll marry her to someone else for a cash settlement. you'll get

00:51:27every single penny that I owe you. but you can't take my stable. face up to it will you. there's not a

00:51:36respectable man in this county would marry that girl. once they know she's Jesse's. why are you

00:51:43I'm leaving. Mendoza you know when I find me. saddle Farah for me.

00:52:13madam. there's no sign of her. we've searched every inch of the ground. you've not looked beyond the gates. I've been into the woods. there's no sign of her. go back. go further afield. she's very ill. she must be found.

00:52:40then well I want the coach.

00:52:44come on.

00:52:46come on dearie.

00:52:50come on dearie.

00:52:52come on dearie.

00:52:54Come on, dearie.

00:53:10Come on, come and try up here.

00:53:16Come on, dearie.

00:53:28Come on, dearie.

00:53:36Come on, dearie.

00:53:42Come on, dearie.

00:53:57In the name of God, what are you doing here?

00:54:00My papa sent me.

00:54:01What?

00:54:03You my mother.

00:54:04Oh, my God.

00:54:05The bastard.

00:54:07Are you my mother?

00:54:10Yes.

00:54:11I'm your mother.

00:54:17He hadn't any bairns.

00:54:32She couldn't give him any.

00:54:34She wouldn't even give him love, if you get me meaning.

00:54:38So I saw it as a good thing.

00:54:40And when you came a long way, it was done for the best.

00:54:46Believe me, it wasn't easy.

00:54:49But what's brought all this on?

00:54:52He wanted me to marry his friend, Mr. Boston.

00:54:56And he told you because of that?

00:54:59Selfish swine.

00:55:02Well, there's no point you knowing half the truth.

00:55:06You've had one shot, girl, so prepare yourself for another.

00:55:09Lagrange, the vindictive sod, is no more your father than the Mary Shields.

00:55:14You saw the big burly chap at the door?

00:55:17He's your da.

00:55:23Oh, Lord.

00:55:24Marianne!

00:55:26Make us a pot of tea.

00:55:28And put a drop of the hard stuff in it.

00:55:30Now, my dear, this should do the trick.

00:55:48Oh, my God.

00:55:51Annabella!

00:55:53Annabella!

00:55:55Annabella!

00:55:58Annabella!

00:55:59Annabella!

00:56:18It's cold.

00:56:21Will you take a glass of something?

00:56:26Any sign of her?

00:56:27Nothing. We've looked everywhere. The streets, the docks.

00:56:31But why did she run away again?

00:56:33I suppose I must have given her one shot too many.

00:56:37I told her who her real father was.

00:56:45You will go on looking for her, won't you?

00:56:47I'll search everywhere, madam. I promise.

00:56:49I won't sleep tonight.

00:56:57I won't sleep tonight.

00:57:27I won't sleep tonight.

00:57:57I won't sleep tonight.

00:57:59I won't sleep tonight.

00:58:03I won't sleep tonight.

00:58:05Armorer?

00:58:07Someone, staple that horse.

00:58:12Where the hell is everybody?

00:58:14Where do you think?

00:58:17Out searching for Annabella?

00:58:19While you've been out drinking, she's gone.

00:58:22She's run away.

00:58:24Not surprisingly, after what you told her, she went to Crane Street and met her mother.

00:58:28I went there too.

00:58:31And I was told she also met someone else.

00:58:33Now, who could that be, do you think?

00:58:36But how could you know?

00:58:38You'd be the last to guess.

00:58:41So I shall tell you.

00:58:44She met her father.

00:58:45You dared to blame me for not bearing you a child.

00:58:51And all the time you were the sterile one and got tricked by your whore.

00:59:02Calm yourself.

00:59:03Don't disappear.

00:59:04Get out of here, you brute.

00:59:10Get out of here.

00:59:11Get out.

00:59:12Get out.

00:59:34Get out.

01:00:04What'll you do?

01:00:09Oh, if the master stays here, I shall stay too.

01:00:13If the horses go, well, I shall just have to look for someone else.

01:00:17You, you're the lucky one.

01:00:20How so?

01:00:21You're the only one who's got a job to go to.

01:00:23I'll never work for Boston.

01:00:25All he cares about is money.

01:00:26He's no feeling for horses.

01:00:28What will you do, lad?

01:00:29I'll take to the road, I suppose.

01:00:31But first I have to look one more time.

01:00:34For Miss Annabella.

01:00:35For Miss Annabella.

01:00:40Hello!

01:00:44Manuel!

01:00:48Over here!

01:00:49I've got your young miss here.

01:00:56Miss Annabella.

01:00:57She came stumbling in last night exhausted and wet to the skin poor lamb.

01:01:02Just a few words, ma'am.

01:01:06You're not a tyra.

01:01:11Manuel.

01:01:13I've been very worried.

01:01:16The mistress has been distracted.

01:01:17I'm sorry.

01:01:26Go to chill.

01:01:28As you think he would.

01:01:29Out in the fells, two days and two nights and all with us.

01:01:32Amy will look after you.

01:01:34She's been very kind to me.

01:01:37The only thing is I've no money to pay her.

01:01:40Are you mad?

01:01:41She won't want paying.

01:01:43You're a godsend to her.

01:01:45Someone to practice our herbs on.

01:01:49I can't stay long.

01:01:52The master's in a state.

01:01:53Manuel.

01:01:54You won't tell them where I am.

01:01:56They ought to know, miss.

01:01:58You have to go back there sooner or later.

01:01:59I can't go back there.

01:02:00I can never go back.

01:02:01You don't understand.

01:02:03I understand right enough.

01:02:05She needs to rest.

01:02:10What are we going to do?

01:02:12She's talking about getting to London somehow.

01:02:15She can work as a seamstress.

01:02:17Why would you think of doing that?

01:02:18White man, the one thing a young lady of quality has taught us how to sew.

01:02:22But she's no idea.

01:02:25A seamstress in London.

01:02:27They're paid note.

01:02:28And they live like, like ruts under the floorboards.

01:02:32Amy, I think the family have to be told.

01:02:36Oh, that should not betray her.

01:02:38We can't let her disappear again.

01:02:41Can you imagine her on the roads by herself?

01:02:43Amy, I will never betray her.

01:02:46But I've got to try to do what I think is best.

01:02:48Well, what is it?

01:03:03I'd like to speak to the mistress.

01:03:05My daughter is not well.

01:03:07Anything you have to say, you may say to me.

01:03:11Miss Annabella is at Amy Stratford's cottage by the river.

01:03:15She's been ill.

01:03:16She made her way there and collapsed.

01:03:18That is no concern of ours.

01:03:21But the mistress would want to know.

01:03:23The doctor has given strict instructions.

01:03:25My daughter is not to be disturbed.

01:03:28For years she suffered because of that child.

01:03:30Now it is over.

01:03:31I am told the girl has a home to go to.

01:03:34Let her go to it.

01:03:35A home?

01:03:36It's a house of prostitution.

01:03:38Mendoza.

01:03:39Be quiet, Pycliffe.

01:03:41You couldn't send her there.

01:03:42Miss Annabella was brought up to be a lady.

01:03:44Then she should be grateful for the advantages bestowed on her.

01:03:49It does not fall to everyone born as she was to be so fortunate.

01:03:55You may go.

01:03:56Have you thought if she stays in this area they might meet?

01:04:07It would not matter.

01:04:11She would not recognize her.

01:04:13You see, my daughter has lost her mind.

01:04:20Be sure the girl knows that.

01:04:21The family don't want her.

01:04:45There's nothing I can do.

01:04:48You take her with you?

01:04:49On the road.

01:04:50She can't live that life.

01:04:52I can try.

01:04:57Please, Manuel, take me with you.

01:04:58No.

01:04:59No.

01:05:01You don't know what you're asking.

01:05:03I heard what you said.

01:05:05The family don't want me.

01:05:06No.

01:05:07And I don't want them.

01:05:10Amy's given me the clothes.

01:05:11I'm not a little lady anymore.

01:05:13Look.

01:05:14No.

01:05:17No.

01:05:18Ella.

01:05:19I've searched for you night and day.

01:05:23My God, you're your mother's daughter.

01:05:25A whore with a pimp to look after you.

01:05:27You'll not speak to her like that.

01:05:29I'll settle with you, Mr. Mendoza.

01:05:31You've knocked him out.

01:05:41Better you go before he comes around.

01:05:57Oh, God, no.

01:05:58I've killed him, Amy.

01:06:03I'll find the body first thing in the morning.

01:06:27He'll be well aware by then.

01:06:28I'll find the body first thing in the morning.

01:06:33Well, now, get yourselves away.

01:06:55No, Amy, no.

01:06:57She's got to go.

01:06:59If the spot are here, well, for a start, I'll be in trouble.

01:07:04The harbour, no, when half the countryside's out looking for her.

01:07:07I'll be no trouble, Manuel, I promise.

01:07:10Oh, God.

01:07:14Come on, then.

01:07:17Goodbye, Mother.

01:07:19And thanks.

01:07:20My love.

01:07:28I need Godspeed, Bonilus.

01:07:32And don't worry.

01:07:35Everything will be all right.

01:07:36You'll see.

01:07:37I don't know.

01:09:34Your hair has badly blistered, miss.

01:09:37Is that a blister?

01:09:39It's the first one I've ever had.

01:09:42It's the first real walking you've ever done.

01:09:47It's no use.

01:09:49I can't do this gently.

01:09:52Grit your teeth.

01:09:59And tear some strips off your petticoat.

01:10:01You'll make bandages.

01:10:04Look away.

01:10:04We have some talking to do, miss.

01:10:17You know, if we're traveling together, people are going to wonder who we are and what we are to each other.

01:10:27I could be your sister.

01:10:30Talking like you do.

01:10:32Well, no, we didn't spring from the same branch.

01:10:36I know.

01:10:37You're my late sister's child.

01:10:42Convent educated.

01:10:43When she died, the money ran out and you had to leave.

01:10:49I was like, I'm your only relative.

01:10:51I could never call you Uncle Manuel.

01:10:53You don't look old enough.

01:10:56Let's be cousins.

01:10:57I miss cousins it is.

01:11:01If we're going to be cousins, you can't keep calling me miss.

01:11:05I'm Annabella.

01:11:08Annabella.

01:11:17I didn't know village bread tasted so good.

01:11:25Manuel, you're spending more because of me.

01:11:28Are you sure your money will last?

01:11:31In my belt, miss, I have six sovereigns and five half-sovereigns,

01:11:35save from the time I spent at your house.

01:11:37It's enough to last me four months without working.

01:11:40But with the two of us, I shall have to find a job.

01:11:47Do you regret bringing me?

01:11:57I don't believe in you.

01:12:00I don't believe in you.

01:12:01I don't believe in you.

01:12:03But with the two of us, I didn't believe in you.

01:12:08There are any evidence that you need to do.
