Why shouldn't I collect my rents?

Once. Years ago.

I've always been fascinated
by the human body,

how it works,

especially the brain.

The brain is the most
extraordinary organ.

And when you see one, it's just meat,

offal like the rest
of our corporeal form.

And yet, what the brain does in one day,

in one hour, in one second...

right now.

Everything you see,
hear, think, feel, desire

in any one moment is all
processed and retained

in this one lump of
stuff inside the skull...

your skull, my skull.

You think about it.

Isn't it exciting that
we can think at all?

The brain of even the smallest animal

is ridiculously sophisticated,
but the human brain...

Miss Lister!

[HORSE HOOVES CLATTERING]

Good afternoon, ma'am.

[GRUNTS]

I... I called at the hall.

Twice.

No one seemed to know where you were.

[HORSE WHICKERS]

So, coal.

Uh, James Holt is the man to talk to.

Very knowledgeable. Very
interesting, actually.

What is he?

Oh, he's a local coal agent, ma'am.

So he knows all the pits in the area

and the markets, as well.

He, uh... he says you'd
no doubt do very well

if you reopened the old Listerwick pit,

as, uh, suggested,

or, indeed, sunk a new one higher up.

But, uh, he says you should understand

that it's an expensive business,

time-consuming, and
there are alternatives.

Now, ma'am,

since I was approached

by Mr. Washington on your behalf,

I have been doing a
bit of asking around,

discreetly.

I assumed you wouldn't mind.

And Mr. Hinscliffe...
the coal merchant...

would be very keen to offer you

100 pound an acre for your coal.

But, this is the thing:

at present, he only wants
the one acre down at Mytholm.

Now, really,

if the coal were mine,

I'd be wanting nearer 200 an acre,

and the Rawsons

are in a position to pay that.

I understand you don't
want to do business

with the Rawsons, ma'am, and...

Mr. Washington thinks
they're stealing my coal.

I think they very probably are,

given that your beds
abut directly onto theirs.

But how do you prove it?

I apply to the Lord
Chancellor for an order

to go down into the Rawsons' works.

And by the time you got it,

they'd have turned the water against you

and flooded your coal,
and nobody'd be able

to get down there to prove
anything one way or the other.

Water is the enemy, ma'am, in a mine.

Controlling the flow is half the job.

And the rivalry is bitter and lawless,

and people will use the
water against each other.

The object would be to
surprise them on the day...

Do you think that Christopher Rawson

wouldn't get wind of that before then?

He's a justice of the
peace. He's a magistrate.

He's Lord Lieutenant of the county.

I'll not be bullied on my own land.

Not by anyone, above ground or under it.

No, of course not, but...

If you'll give Mr. Holt
a moment, Miss Lister,

he has a suggestion.

I was saying, the
Rawsons are in a position

to offer more than Hinscliffe,

which, if they think you
are going to sell to him,

they'd have to.

Wouldn't they?

Otherwise they'd be worried
that he'd get down there

and see what he's
paid for already taken.

They don't know that he
only wants that one acre

to access this other bed.

And what'd be to stop the
Rawsons turning this water

on Hinscliffe if that's
what they're capable of,

and I'd sold to him and not to them?

Oh, I don't think it would get that far.

They want your coal,

even if they have to pay for it fairly.

And, do you see,

that if this was negotiated skillfully,

it'd be a way of upping the price.

So they'd end up paying for
what they've already stolen.

I'd like a breakdown
of the Rawsons' costs.

How much coal they get from an acre

and how much they can
sell it for in Halifax.

Can you do that for me?

You couldn't invent it, could you?

Right, well, I've got wind

talking to another company on her behalf

over her signing a lease over her coal.

I need to go and talk
to her, Christopher.

I need to be in a
position to offer her more,

more than whatever this
other one's offering,

because if I don't, if it's true,

then whoever it is
is gonna go down there

What you've been doing.

Well, only because you told me to!

You know, it's never
sat comfortably with me,

even when she wasn't
here and didn't seem

to be doing anything with her coal.

We ought to do the proper
thing and make her an offer.

And then we can mine

Yes, but him aside,
she alienates people.

People who care about her.

And then the ones that really
are after her money, she...

Well, she's naive.

What she really needs is a good friend,

someone slightly older
and more worldly wise

than Catherine Rawson;

someone who can guide
her on a steady path

without her feeling us old

I'd like to see Mr. Rawson.

- Ah, Miss Lister.
- Yes, good morning.

What may we do for you today?

Did you hear about the accident

above the hall a few weeks ago?

Seven-year-old boy, son
of one of my tenants,

lost a leg, and above the knee, too.

I'd like to know what the
constable is doing about it.

And I believe you wanted to
talk to me about my coals, too.

In the absence of any evidence,

there's very little
the constable can do.

I have spoken to him about it.

And it's my brother Jeremiah

you need to speak to about the coal.

I tend not to get my hands dirty.

I'm surprised you do, Miss Lister.

Is it not the constable's
job to gather evidence?

Well, he's a very busy man.

And strictly speaking,

his jurisdiction is the town itself.

So I must gather my own evidence.

Well, that's one option,

if you've time.

They're good people,

and they're my people,

and I look after my tenants.

The boy will be very limited,
what work he'll do on the farm.

You realize the fellow probably dwells

in another part of the county entirely?

Surely only somebody
unfamiliar with Halifax

would drive so recklessly
along that road.

You'd never trace him.

You know a lot about it.

Only what old Miss
Walker told my mother.

Of course.

How lucky your cousin and her aunt

weren't damaged in it, too.

I'm surprised, for their sake,
you're not more interested.

Oh, I am interested.

And if I hear anything significant,

I'll let you know.

Tell your brother I was
looking for him, would you?

If he wants to make
an appointment with me,

I shall endeavor to be in next time.

If I know when he's coming.

Of course.

You've talked about nothing but
Miss Lister since I got here.

What?

What do people say about her?

That she can't be trusted

- People.

Well, what do you mean?

- What does she do to them?
- I don't know.

- Well, does she bite them?

No, come on, Catherine.

You can't say something like
that and then not justify it.

What does she do to them that means
she can't be trusted around them?

I'm just telling you what I've heard.

- From whom?
- People.

- What people?
- Just people.

Well...

it all sounds rather vague

and ill-mannered.

Why do you think people
say things like that?

Well, apparently she's a...

she's a bit like a man.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

No.

No, I'll tell you why they say it.

Because she's unusual

and singular and clever,

and because she doesn't
conform to the way people think

a woman should look or think or be.

That's why.

I... I don't know, but
apparently she's very odd.

Well, you've never even met her.

I'm not entirely sure I'd want to.

Miss Lister is one of
the nicest, kindest,

most clever and interesting people

I have ever met, so you can
tell that to your people.

And then perhaps you should meet her,

make up your own mind.

You probably will.

She'll probably call by before we leave

[VOICE FADES]

[ROUSING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC]

Oh, here she is.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[CLOCK CHIMING]

- Miss Lister.
- Mr. Rawson.

Sorry I kept you waiting. Not at all.

So many jobs on hand around the estate,

and I do like to keep an eye on the men.

What can I do for you?

I understand you're
leasing out your coal,

and if that is the case,
my brother and I would like

to ask you how much you'd take for it.

- What will you offer?
- Oh.

[LAUGHS] You must set the price, madam.

- Per acre?
- Yes, that would be...

226 pounds, 17 shillings, and 6 pence.

- S... sorry?
- Per acre.

That's... [LAUGHS]

That's ridiculous.

Mm, it isn't.

I asked Mr. Holt, the coal agent.

He advised me it was worth 200 an acre.

Why, even that's pretty steep.

I asked him to calculate
how much it costs you

to get your coal and
then how much it sold for,

which he did.

But I think he got
his calculations wrong.

Either that, or he
was trying to dupe me.

I think he underestimated
me, Mr. Rawson,

with me being the gentler sex,

which I know is something
you and your brother won't do.

The price you have
named is, with respect...

Ridiculous? Hmm, it isn't.

Let me explain why.

You sell your coal down in Halifax

at eight pence per coal.

It's actually seven pence.

I asked a number of
people who buy it from you.

- No one said seven pence.
- Some we sell at eight pence, yes.

So I'm reliably informed
that the cost of getting

and hurrying to the
surface 20 corves of coal

is six shillings.

That's 72 pence divided by 20,

and, well, that's thruppence
ha'penny per corve,

which means you make four-pence
ha'penny clear gain per corve.

Now, let's times that by five,

and we have one shilling,
tenpence ha'penny...

or 22 pence... per square yard.

4,840 square yards in an acre times 22,

and your clear gain

is 453 pounds and 15 shillings

per acre.

Now, if the getter and the proprietor

were to share their profits equally...

which, again, I'm told is the custom...

that divides into 226 pounds,
17 shillings, and 6 pence.

We never make that kind
of profit, Miss Lister.

Well, then, I suggest
you look narrowly into it,

because I could.

What you should know,
Mr. Rawson, is that I'm...

What's the word, Marian?

- Uh, I...
- "Indifferent." Thank you.

I'm indifferent about
leasing my coals because...

Shibden is rich in coal, madam.

You'd be ill-advised not
to do anything with it.

I'm indifferent about
leasing my coals, Mr. Rawson,

because if I don't get my price,

I shall sink my own pits.

Well, that... that would...

Well, open a new one
at the top of the hill

and then reopen Listerwick at
the bottom, down at Mytholm.

That would be an incredibly...

expensive undertaking.

Mm, in the short term, maybe.

In all seriousness, Miss Lister,

150 pound per acre would
be much nearer the mark.

[SIGHS] I think I've explained to you

as simply as I can why it isn't.

226 pounds, 17 shillings, and 6 pence,

Mr. Rawson, is what I shall
take for my coal per acre,

in all seriousness,

and I shall offer it to the other party

at the same price.

Well, I should have
to speak to my brother

before I offered you anything
resembling that figure.

Of course.

[BELL JINGLING]

Was there anything else?

[UPBEAT MUSIC]

♪♪

I knew she'd run rings round you.

Yes, well, maybe you
should have come with me.

[MUFFLED HORSE HOOVES CLATTERING]

It'd have made no difference anyhow.

She keeps herself very well informed.

I need to keep working
those beds, Christopher.

I can't stop production. I
have contracts to fulfill.

I used to know her, socially,

years ago, when she first
started coming to Halifax.

Has she not always lived here?

No, no, no.

They're from East Yorkshire,
her side of the family.

Poor relations.

She adopted...

her Uncle James and Aunt Anne
up at Shibden when she was...

16?

Younger? 15?

They couldn't cope with her at home,

so she came to live here.

- "Couldn't cope" how?
- I'm not sure.

Bit of an handful, I imagine.

She was at the Manor School in York,

only she'd been expelled.

Never knew what for.

I mean, I could guess.

- Is that true?
- Oh, yes.

She likes the ladies,

does Miss Lister.

I think she's bluffing.

Nobody'd pay 226 pounds an acre.

And she'll not sink her own pit.

She can't afford to, not without
borrowing money. Big money.

And anyway, she never stays around here

any longer than she has to.

I think her tastes have become
rather more refined and exotic

than anything she could
pick up in Halifax.

And she'll not shit on her own doorstep.

She's too clever. She knows
there'd be repercussions.

I wonder if we shouldn't just...

gird our loins

and bide our time...

and see what happens.

- This your sister?
- Mm-hmm.

[SIGHS] You're very good.

- [LAUGHS]

Maybe one day you could paint me.

I'd love to paint you.

Oh.

What is it? You shouldn't have.

Oh...

Look, it's a little gondola.

Oh...

I always like the idea
of travel, but then...

you know, my brother died in Naples.

You are not going to
die in the Lake District.

Quite the opposite.

It's going to make you feel alive.

Here.

Wear it always.

And then...

when you think of me...

you'll feel perfectly safe.

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you.

I wish you could come with us.

I've been invited to
a wedding in London.

I don't want to go.

I told my aunt I'm not going, but...

I'm worried it'll look
poor if I didn't turn up.

A lot of my London
friends are going, and...

I'd hate them to think ill of me.

Why don't you want to go?

It's complicated.

I imagine if you didn't go

all of your friends would
be very disappointed.

Sometimes when I've tried

to avoid doing something
or going somewhere

but then had to do it anyway,

I've often come away
feeling like it's been

one of the best days I've ever had.

So maybe, if you went,

the thing that seems complicated might

sort itself out.

How much?

226 pounds, 17 shillings, and 6 pence.

Oof, steep for the one acre.

It's what it's worth, Mr. Hinscliffe.

I only want it for the Listerwick shaft

so I can have access to
this other bed I've leased.

Miss Lister understands that.

Would you take any less, ma'am?

[SIGHS]

Well, if I can't get access,

I shall have to sink me own sh... shaft,

and it'd be barely worth the cost of...

Well, you've heard Miss Lister's price.

Perhaps you'd like a day
or two to think about it.

No, no. [STAMMERING]

Miss... Miss Lister, ma'am...

You think because I'm a woman,
I'll be persuaded to take less?

Would you pull that face
and put on that voice

and ask a man to take
a lesser price, hmm?

No, course you wouldn't.

So don't ask me.

226 pounds and how much?

17 shillings and 6 pence.

I can get a banker's draft to
you first thing in the morning.

- No, don't do that.
- S... sorry?

The other party has first refusal,

so before I accept your offer

I'm obliged to see if
they'd like to better it.

- Who is the other party?
- That's my business.

You do know the Rawsons are
stealing your coal, don't you?

My men heard their
men in your upper bed.

You can't loosen coal
without making noise.

And it couldn't be anyone else.

Not there.

As I say, I gave the other party my word

that I'd let them know before
I accepted any other offers.

Was there anything else?

No.

Mr. Hinscliffe is leaving.

Thank you.

I'll write a note to the other party

informing that we've
been offered our price,

and if they could advise me
at their earliest convenience

how they wish to proceed, etcetera.

But in the meantime... [SIGHS]

Could you ask Holt to look into how much

it really would cost
me to sink my own pit

at the top of the hill and
reopen Listerwick myself?

Certainly, ma'am.

Well done.
