00:00:00The End

00:00:30Oh, my God.

00:01:00Oh, my God.

00:01:30Oh, my God.

00:01:36Hello there.

00:01:38Have you seen Mr. Bencham?

00:01:40Down there.

00:02:12The servants are looking after the men.

00:02:42I've put out something for you to eat.

00:02:44Yesterday morning she went to your cottage.

00:02:48Mary Peel said she left at midday.

00:02:51She was going to see Michael Radlett.

00:02:54So I rode up to Wolfborough Farm

00:02:56and they didn't want to talk to me.

00:03:00There's a girl there badly injured.

00:03:01No, no, no, it's not Barbara.

00:03:02Well, they said she did it.

00:03:06Well, I couldn't let her marry him.

00:03:08I had to tell her the truth.

00:03:09Truth?

00:03:09What truth?

00:03:10That her father was Thomas Mallon.

00:03:12I don't give a damn what you told her.

00:03:15It's all in the past.

00:03:16Thomas Mallon's dead.

00:03:18Oh, we'll block her again in the morning.

00:03:22She's dead too.

00:03:23I can feel it.

00:03:28Dad?

00:03:29Hi, up here.

00:03:30Some of the men are going out again with torches.

00:03:32I'm going with them.

00:03:32Don't be a damn fool.

00:03:33You'll get lost.

00:03:34Who cares?

00:03:35I wish I'd never bought this damn mallon house.

00:03:41It's not mine.

00:03:43It's yours.

00:04:05I wish you, man.

00:04:35I don't know.

00:04:50She's young.

00:04:58Oh, God.

00:05:02Why?

00:05:05It's my fault.

00:05:10What happened?

00:05:13Whatever happens.

00:05:17Is Sarah anti-Barbara?

00:05:19No.

00:05:21It finished with her.

00:05:24It was her jealousy.

00:05:35We'd...

00:05:36We'd...

00:05:37We'd...

00:05:42We'd make love, you know.

00:05:52It doesn't matter.

00:05:53It doesn't matter.

00:05:55to make love before your wedding it doesn't matter mum. what she said wasn't

00:06:00true then you believe that I I did what she said like you said

00:06:20doesn't matter. is that how much you love me? it's the truth isn't it?

00:06:32good night mum

00:07:02wait here for me

00:07:32Barbara

00:07:53Barbara

00:07:54Barbara

00:08:01come quickly I found her

00:08:15oh

00:08:19is there any talk of the wolf the girl up at the hall? not a word I don't think it can be as bad as they said

00:08:34Mr. Tan said Barbara was hiding and didn't want to be found. that's why they couldn't find her straight away.

00:08:40you leave her door open? oh yes miss. good. you can hear her if she makes a sound.

00:08:47you shouldn't have said what you did to her. it was too much for her to bear. me miss? I only told her what was God's truth.

00:08:55I mean it wasn't necessary for you to say anything. Mary don't you understand that

00:09:02everything happened was a direct result of what you told her. now don't you put the blame on me miss

00:09:07brigmore? Mary? I love her just as much as you ever did. I am more. I never cared who she was or what she was. only that she should manage a bit of happiness out of life. more than her poor mother ever did. don't you talk about her mother. oh aye. something bad and you don't want to talk about it. why could you never tell her the truth from the start? she could have married might have been happy. you wanted her to live up at the hall and be a fine lady because that's what you wanted for yourself. Mary please. will you remember what you wanted?

00:09:22that's all you ever wanted ever since you were the old man's mistress.

00:09:52I suppose there may be some truth in what you say. I tried to do my best. I failed. I'm sorry.

00:10:22what a day it is. it would be so beautiful. she's awoke. here. are you waking up love? how are you feeling?

00:10:47oh my pet. are you not gonna say something?

00:11:02Barbara.

00:11:13you can sign to me.

00:11:17we're gonna have to start again at the beginning.

00:11:22we're gonna have to start again at the beginning.

00:11:47I suppose you know Jim wants to go to Hexman to see a lawyer.

00:11:58well there's got to be some compensation for what's happened.

00:12:04I mean for heaven's sake the poor girl's lost a leg. I mean her whole life's ruined.

00:12:09well it'll all come out and call you an old man.

00:12:15she's heading down Jim.

00:12:16fine thanks.

00:12:18you didn't need to give her Michael's room.

00:12:20she'd have been better off where she couldn't see the hills.

00:12:22now she'd been nagging me all day to take her out there.

00:12:24Jim. sit down a minute please. I want to talk to you.

00:12:36Jim I've been thinking about what's best for Sarah.

00:12:38well I'll be going to see a lawyer about that.

00:12:43why don't I write to Miss Mallon's guardian.

00:12:45I know Miss Brigmore very well.

00:12:47and I'm certain she'll make sure that Sarah's fully compensated for.

00:12:51it's not for compensation Mrs Radler.

00:12:55it's not compensation enough for what's happened to Sarah.

00:12:57no I'm going to see a lawyer to have that mad girl put away.

00:13:00she's not mad.

00:13:01you saw her.

00:13:02well she pushed Sarah that's all.

00:13:03the rest was an accident.

00:38:15Morning, Michael.

00:38:17You two are up and about early.

00:38:19I'll do that, Sarah.

00:38:21Oh, let her do it, Mum.

00:38:23She wants to.

00:38:25All right.

00:38:27But just take care.

00:38:29Strange, you two.

00:38:31I was sort of Sarah's my daughter.

00:38:33That must be the carrier.

00:38:35You all right, Sarah?

00:38:37Mm.

00:38:41Morning, Mr. Corby.

00:38:42Morning, Mr. Reynolds.

00:38:43Put it in that corner for me, will you?

00:38:44Aye.

00:38:46There's your paper.

00:38:48Oh, lovely.

00:38:49In your bill.

00:38:51Nasty old dear.

00:38:52Oh, it's terrible, isn't it?

00:38:53I'll just get some money for you.

00:38:54Hey, I've got a bit of news for you.

00:38:55Oh, what's that?

00:38:56It's about that mother lass.

00:38:58She got married on Sunday.

00:39:00Married one of the Benshams.

00:39:02You want to live abroad somewhere?

00:39:08Well, I'll be away then.

00:39:32Well, why not?

00:39:35It's over and done with.

00:39:37Don't talk about it again.

00:39:41Eat your breakfast.

00:39:45She's free to marry you she likes.

00:39:53Don't you like it?

00:39:54It's there, Michael.

00:39:59Aye.

00:40:01There it is.

00:40:05We're together now.

00:40:07And nothing will part us again.

00:40:12Here, miss.

00:40:13Do you think they've got to perish yet?

00:40:15Of course they have.

00:40:16They left nearly a week ago.

00:40:17Mine, it's so pretty they didn't have a day like this for their wedding.

00:40:21I wonder how long it's gonna last.

00:40:24We should get him up with one while the roads are clear.

00:40:29Shall I go into the village on Friday, miss?

00:40:30If you like.

00:40:32We won't be needing much, just the pair of us.

00:40:34Even if we're to be snowed in all winter.

00:40:37That hasn't happened for a long time.

00:40:39I think it might this year.

00:40:42They get snowed in every year at Wolfborough.

00:40:44Mary, please, will you stop talking?

00:40:46I'm sorry, miss.

00:40:47Ever since Miss Barbara got her hearing back I seem to be talking all the time.

00:40:58Mr. Dan talks nicely and now she can hear every word he says.

00:41:01They can talk together just like you and me.

00:41:06All these years and there's never been just the two of us.

00:41:08It's not the carrier's day today, is it?

00:41:13Why, no, miss.

00:41:14There's someone coming.

00:41:15Mary, run round to the front.

00:41:16Stop them.

00:41:17We'll ask them to wait.

00:41:18Hurry!

00:41:26Mr. Bentram, something's wrong you've heard from Dan.

00:41:29No, nothing's wrong.

00:41:32Haven't heard from anyone.

00:41:34Excuse me.

00:41:36I wasn't expecting visitors.

00:41:43I thought you'd return to Manchester after the wedding.

00:41:46Aye, well, I'll have something to settle here first.

00:41:49About High Banks?

00:41:51Aye.

00:41:53Aye, it's to do with that.

00:41:55Are you going to sell it?

00:41:57Do you think I should?

00:41:58It's nothing to do with me.

00:42:00Oh, you must have an opinion.

00:42:04I'm a retired governess.

00:42:06I've been told I wasn't even a good governess,

00:42:08that I harmed the children in my charter.

00:42:10They've left me now they can make their own mistakes.

00:42:13You told me that I was unworldly

00:42:16and therefore my opinion was unreliable.

00:42:18You've come a long way to laugh at me in this country.

00:42:21You're still a damn good governess.

00:42:23You'll make me feel like a boycott stealing.

00:42:25How are you feeling?

00:42:28Now, you're quite right.

00:42:30I've made my mind up about the hall.

00:42:32In fact, I've come to ask you there for dinner.

00:42:37No, thank you.

00:42:38Oh, come on.

00:42:40I'm better company than her.

00:42:42Aye, and I'll give you a better dinner.

00:42:45One last look at the hall.

00:42:47Aye.

00:42:48Will you give me a moment?

00:42:50As long as you want.

00:42:51Can Mary Peel come too?

00:42:53Put your bonnet on, Mary.

00:42:55Oh, Miss!

00:42:56Oh, Miss!

00:42:58We're out for you.

00:42:59Oh, Miss!

00:43:01I can't go for you there, I'll try to come back.

00:43:02I'll give you a moment.

00:43:04Come on.

00:43:05Come on.

00:43:06Can Mary Peel come too?

00:43:08Put your bonnet on, Mary.

00:43:09Oh, Miss!

00:43:10I'll leave it there.

00:43:28I'll call you when I need it.

00:43:40I'll leave it there.

00:44:10I've never seen you look so grand.

00:44:12I'm glad I ordered up the champagne.

00:44:15Champagne?

00:44:16Why?

00:44:22Well, it is what gentlemen give ladies, isn't it?

00:44:33I believe so.

00:44:36Certain gentlemen.

00:44:42Certain ladies.

00:44:47I don't know how you can think of selling this house.

00:44:54You love it, don't you?

00:44:57It's been a great part of my life, Highbanks.

00:45:00And the people who lived here.

00:45:03The Farrington girls.

00:45:05Barbara.

00:45:06Thomas Mannin.

00:45:11I loved him.

00:45:13Are you shocked?

00:45:14Aye.

00:45:15A bit.

00:45:17I'm not a governess anymore.

00:45:19Now I can talk about these things.

00:45:22Not in front of the children.

00:45:25The children are all gone now, so I suppose the house can go too.

00:45:30Aye.

00:45:31Aye, let it go.

00:45:32What do I want with it?

00:45:33You know, when I first come into money, I fancy myself as a country gentleman.

00:45:42Even had Kate and the boys brought up proper.

00:45:45God knows if it did them any good or not.

00:45:49But I'm not that sort of stuff.

00:45:52Tilda knew that.

00:45:54Like she knew she weren't a lady.

00:45:56Oh, Mrs. Bencham.

00:45:57No, no.

00:45:58No, no, she weren't.

00:45:59Not like you.

00:46:01Oh, you're a lady if ever there was one.

00:46:04That's why I used to swear at you.

00:46:05To make you bridal.

00:46:06Mr. Bencham.

00:46:07Oh, not Mr. Bencham.

00:46:08Can't you call me Harry for once?

00:46:10No, I can't.

00:46:11Like I should call you Anna.

00:46:21What was I talking about?

00:46:22You're leaving Highbanks.

00:46:24Who am I?

00:46:27Perhaps I am.

00:46:30It all depends on you.

00:46:32Why should it depend on me?

00:46:34Don't you know what I've been trying to say?

00:46:37What I've been trying to ask you?

00:46:38Don't you know that I've cared for you all this time?

00:46:44Long before I lost Tilda.

00:46:46Well, she knew.

00:46:48In fact, I think it made her going easier for her.

00:46:53I've never met another like you for talking and telling me and putting me in my place.

00:46:59I respect you, you see.

00:47:02Oh, no, no.

00:47:03It's more than that.

00:47:04It's more than caring.

00:47:06What's the matter?

00:47:08Hey, listen, Anna.

00:47:11I'm not asking you to be my mistress.

00:47:14I'm asking you to be my wife.

00:47:16Why, well.

00:47:22If you can't see away clear to becoming Mrs. Bencham, I'd still want you to live here.

00:47:29I told myself if you'd turn me down, I'd sell the place, but I can't.

00:47:34Knowing what it means to you.

00:47:35Oh, here now.

00:47:40Here, I'm sorry.

00:47:42Oh, I've made you a bubble.

00:47:45You never heard that word before, have you?

00:47:48My grandma, she used to say, here, stop your bubbling.

00:47:52You're doing me a very great honor, proposing to me in this way, Mr. Bencham.

00:48:00Oh, here, Briggy.

00:48:02Not now.

00:48:05Well, if you want to tell me, say yes or no and let's have it.

00:48:15I'm honored to accept your proposal.

00:48:17Well, hey, lass, you really are the limit.

00:48:28Now repeat after me.

00:48:31Harry, I'll take you.

00:48:35Harry, I'll take you.

00:48:38There, now.

00:48:40That wasn't so bad, was it?

00:48:43Oh, there's some good years ahead of us yet, lass.

00:48:47Yes.

00:48:49Mr. Bencham.

00:48:50Hello.

00:48:52Oh, my God.

00:49:22There you go, that's okay, there you go.

00:49:28Here you go, mate. Look!

00:49:32Hey, fuck it!

00:49:37You should block me off the shoe, yeah, lady.

00:49:44There you go, I just got it.

00:49:48There you go.

00:49:52...

00:49:58...

00:50:02...

00:50:05...

00:50:13...

00:51:16It's not too late.

00:51:17I want to keep my eye on John and this gate.

00:51:20I was going to suggest having her here.

00:51:23It's not a bad idea.

00:51:24Wait a minute.

00:51:43You don't take enough exercise.

00:51:51How far is this cottage?

00:51:53You've been there.

00:51:54Aye.

00:51:55In the carriage.

00:51:57It's not far from here.

00:51:58I've walked it many times.

00:52:00Well then.

00:52:03Hey.

00:52:09That's the first time I've seen her since it happened.

00:52:13God, I used to pray that Michael wouldn't marry Barbara.

00:52:17If that's the answer to my prayers.

00:52:19Hey, lass.

00:52:20Oh, God.

00:52:24How could she?

00:52:29I suppose because he wouldn't give high banks to the Malon girl,

00:52:32she had to go and marry him herself to get it.

00:52:34Mary.

00:52:46Mary.

00:52:48Mary.

00:52:48Mary?

00:52:49Mary!

01:06:28Yes.

01:06:30Yes.

01:06:31We never needed to say anything.

01:06:37Nothing.

01:06:39Nothing.

01:06:40When I went home...

01:06:53When I went home...

01:06:55No.

01:06:56No.

01:06:57No.

01:06:58No.

01:07:00No.

01:07:01No.

01:07:02No.

01:07:03No.

01:07:04No.

01:07:05So...

01:08:12No.

01:08:22I can't afford to go on living in Paris.

01:08:24Oh, extravagant is she?

01:08:28No.

01:08:30It's not money.

01:08:32I want to come back and find a job.

01:08:34At the mill.

01:08:35I'll have a word with John.

01:08:36Not in Manchester.

01:08:38If I'm going to be a failure I prefer to do it somewhere I'm not known.

01:08:41Well, that's a bloody good start.

01:08:43I suppose I am a failure.

01:08:46You know what I mean.

01:08:48I say I found you somewhere.

01:08:52What would Barbara say about it?

01:08:54Oh, we've talked about it.

01:08:56She doesn't seem to mind.

01:08:58What about Newcastle?

01:09:01The warehouse?

01:09:02Ah, you could manage it, couldn't you?

01:09:04And I could keep my eye on you from up here.

01:09:08Ah, never mind, lad.

01:09:10I wanted you to be educated.

01:09:12And now you know a bit about everything and a lot about nothing.

01:09:16Come in.

01:09:18Everything's ready.

01:09:19Thank you, Brookie.

01:09:21We'll talk about it, eh?

01:09:26One thing, Dad.

01:09:28I'm not sorry.

01:09:30Barbara and I are happy together.

01:09:33Aye.

01:09:48Everything is arranged.

01:09:50I wish I had done more for her when she was with us.

01:09:53Barbara, will you come in the first carriage?

01:09:56Kate and Dan are in the second.

01:09:59Mary Peel came here when she was 12 years old.

01:10:12Thank you, everybody.

01:10:14Thank you, everybody.

01:10:16Thank you, Mr. Chair.

01:10:17Thank you, Mr. Chair.

01:10:19Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

01:10:20And thank you, Mr. President.

01:11:21I knew Mary Peel all my life.

01:11:30She was at the hall when my sister and I first went there.

01:11:35I have every right to be here.

01:11:40To show them that we're not ashamed.

01:11:43Benchams don't own everybody.

01:11:44We belong here more than they do.

01:11:50We brought nothing into this world.

01:11:54And it is certain we can carry nothing out.

01:11:58The Lord gave.

01:12:00And the Lord has taken away.

01:12:02Blessed be the name of the Lord.

01:12:06Because you're not there.

01:12:24Let's go.
