Original subtitles

And I will dash them, one against another.

And the fathers and the sons together set the Lord.

I will not pity nor spare nor have mercy but destroy them.

Yea ye and givia be not proud for the Lord hath spoken.

Give glory to the Lord your God before he calls darkness and before your feet stumble

upon the dark mountains.

Shall not sorrows take thee as a woman in travail.

For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered and thy heels made bare.

O Lord, if it be thy will, bringeth health to our sister here bedridden.

And if it be not thy will, may her suffering be as an atonement for the sins of others,

for the greater the pain.

If you would leave me now, thank you for your prayers.

You will not be living here much longer.

You won't bother her now me having a smooch.

Mr. McGill, be I'm sorry.

I'll be alright.

I just want to sit.

Finish up.

Now while I'm away, I want you to treat Alice as your mom.

Alright.

Emily, you'll bring your wages up just the same.

Lucy, you're a little Alice in the house.

Yes, that's what I like to hear.

And Emily, you'll be here.

Mr. Stull.

That's the company office.

You'll get me half pay off them till I get back.

You never told Dore you made him a sieger.

Shh.

I haven't lost it yet.

There you go.

Hi, Dore.

Hey, Dore.

Dore.

Do you want something?

I'm not sure.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Out!

If you'd all make your way through to the parlor.

Your sister's here, Mr. McGillie.

I kept her outside. I thought it first.

You did well.

See you there, Emily.

Is Mr. McGillie alright?

Yes, he'd be fine.

Yes, set up.

Now I see.

No use for your poor sister.

Use.

Use.

When were you ever in use?

Your greedy fat lump.

Language.

And your wife just buried.

Get out.

Get out before I kick you out.

I'm sorry.

Come and sit here.

While Emily.

It's over.

Come over here and sit down.

You must be worn out.

We've got to get down to business, Emily.

Come to terms.

You understand?

Oh, not quite, Mr. McGillie.

Do you want to stay on and look after the house and me?

Yes, Mr. McGillie. Of course.

It's going to be awkward.

There might be talk.

In fact, they're already chewing it over. The chap will not.

Can you put up with it?

I could bring out Lucidously with me, Mr. McGillie.

That'll put things right.

No, no.

No.

There might be trouble with your dad and that woman, Alice.

There were some people's mains work.

Leave it for now.

Listen, I'm going to put your wages up to half a crown a week.

Hey, Mr. McGillie, that's wonderful.

I'll give you 12 shillings for the housekeeping.

Do you want any more? You've just got to let me know.

Oh, no. I'll be careful with the money, Mr. McGillie.

I know you will.

You've got your wits about you.

I could see that from the start.

Thank you.

No!

Let's stop it.

She's out of Lucid.

She's upstairs.

Go, go, go.

Go, go, go.

No!

No!

No!

Let's stop it.

She's out of Lucidously.

Lucy, stop that little spout here.

Oh, this has got a lodger in.

She's what?

You've been feeling here, yes, has she?

What's this about, a lodger?

He's got the back room.

Lucy's sleeping in Maybeard.

We're made to.

I don't know what she's whining about.

And where do you sleep?

On the couch in here.

Are you that hard up?

What are you seeing?

I'm saying nothing.

But I could go down the shipping office and say plenty.

You're not married to me, Dar.

You're getting us half pay under false pretenses.

You're young bugger, yeah.

Lucy, get your coat on.

We're going out.

Aren't you forgetting something?

One and six, you get paid.

One and six, you get paid.

Tip it up.

That's for Lucy of Northern reason.

And don't let me find her slaving away while you're two brats do now.

So this is the big sister, eh?

Emily, are you not frightened?

Been alone with Mr. McGillby.

Frightened of Mr. McGillby?

I could come and live with you.

Emily can I not?

Lucy.

You've got to make the best of it.

At least till Dar gets back.

Book of them via rabbit.

Where's the ice cream shop?

Agorapaira is that Alice knows nothing about?

Let's bust it.

Oh, Mrs. Goodyear, I'm afraid Mr. McGillby's of the docks?

It's not him I came to see.

Come in.

The chapel wanted to thank you for all your hard work after the funeral.

Thank you, Mrs. Goodyear.

Oh, we all noticed how well you run the house.

I can imagine what time you get to bed.

Oh, after I get Mr. McGillby's supper and set the table for breakfast.

I'm usually aware by nine or ten.

Well, as long as you get enough sleep.

You do have a look on your bedroom door.

Pardon?

My dear, you're alone in the house with a man.

Mrs. Goodyear.

I do know how men and women behave.

If that's what you're driving at, I'm sure it says more about you than Mr. McGillby.

Well, perhaps you're just too young to understand.

But somehow I doubt it.

But here enters the lesson.

Oh, no.

Now, before we all leave, I'd just like to say a few words.

If Emily spoke out of turn, I apologise.

Mrs. Goodyear had the best of intentions, as we all know.

It won't happen again.

If only you mind your own business, and let me mind mine.

I don't need prayers.

And I can do without nosy pargas.

I'll answer to me conscience.

And me conscience is clear.

I'll get us a glass.

Yeah, let me.

My wife saved me from drinking oil.

All right. I own Nancy a lot.

But she was a woman who never should have married.

You know what I mean?

Ah, well, if you do what you do, and you will someday.

Nancy gave me what I wanted.

The comfort of a house, coming home to a decent meal.

It changed me, Emily.

And that was good to her. You can vote for that.

Oh, yes, Mr. McGillby, yes.

So now I'll have a beer in the house when I're down.

Well, feel like it.

Hey, I shouldn't have laughed like that.

Emily, why not?

I'm sick of playing the hypocrite.

Come on. I'll let you win it with secret.

I used to hide me back in here while Nancy was alive.

And that's not all.

Look.

There's someone who's worth there, eh?

I didn't steal it.

Oh, no. No, I know. I'm sick of it.

I used to hide me back in here while Nancy was alive.

And that's not all.

Look.

There's someone who's worth there, eh?

Mr. McGillby?

It comes when we're down the docks when one of the lads off the ships is Brookes here.

I'd give a better price than the porn broker.

It's all fair.

You see, I trust you, Emily.

Thank you, Mr. McGillby.

There's not another like you.

Emily, do you think you could drop the Mr. McGillby?

And come, eh, Seb?

I hate it to be kind of funny. I don't think I...

We'll just try it.

And we'll have this room fire on every weekend, eh?

Yes, that'll be nice and comfortable for, yeah?

For us both lads.

We get on well, you and me.

I'll get you supper.

Get you supper.

Emily, how would you like a trip out one of these days?

You can bring your sister.

Oh, that would be lovely, Mr. McGillby.

I mean, Seb.

I will make that a start.

Yes?

You're not younger.

You're not younger.

You look younger.

You look like a silly, silly guy, you look.

You look like a silly guy.

Me, I don't want to lose you.

Eat a ton of food, but you never put on any weight.

Is the matter?

Is it Alice making you do all the work?

Alice is not bad.

I just hate him.

The lodger.

What's up?

Could I not come live with you?

Oh, Lucy, not that again.

Is that what it's all about?

Dad left you with Alice, and that's that.

I've asked Seb, and that's what he says.

Cheer up, then.

Never say a die.

Alice, get a move, Anne.

I need to be away.

I'm off now, then, Seb.

Sit down, Emily.

I feel as if the Mrs has been dead for years, not months.

At times, it's as if she never existed.

Can you understand?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Can you understand that?

I've never behaved wrongly towards you, no other.

You must know that I have a feeling for you, Emily.

I've kept quiet about it all this time, but...

You must know.

It's all right if I speak.

Well, then.

I want to marry you, Emily.

Now, don't say you're too young or I'm too old.

I'm young in every way a man can be.

You don't hurt me, do you?

No.

You like the house?

Why?

Yes.

I, Seth, I like the house. I love it.

The house is yours, Emily.

What do you say?

You can have Lucy here and welcome her.

I'll take her off that woman and settle it with your dad when he comes back.

Emily?

I'm sorry for this.

It didn't mean to be rough. I was so scared you would turn me down flat.

You've made me the happiest man alive.

Nobody in the wide world could ever love and take care of you like me.

I know, Seth. I know.

Where do you bet before I eat you up?

I'm not sure.

That's two buckets of coal. So you don't have to help get out in?

Thanks, Seth. I just have the one more stage or it gets in the way.

Hi. Oh, well.

How would he fancy a bigger scullery?

I could have it extended into the yard.

Oh, I'd love one, but I need the yard for hanging out washing.

All right. Right.

I'll tell you one thing, though.

I'm going to have that lavy brought inside.

Hello.

What's wrong?

Hello.

I'm going to have a big car.

Two miles.

No!

No!

Let's go!

There's a tank!

You're a maniac!

Bye!

Hello.

Leave the lasses alone, you big lite.

No idea, fat bitch.

Sit down, Lucy.

Lucy, tell me straight.

Did anything happen?

No.

Are you sure?

You try to.

Shh.

It's all right.

Mr. McGill, be not being mad when he sees that I'm here.

No.

He said you could come and be welcome.

Made him change his mind.

Mr. McGill, be and I are getting married.

Getting married.

He's older than you.

But he's got a job.

He's got a house.

He's kind.

We'll never be left wondering where the next penny is coming from.

It'll be nice.

You don't love him, do you?

You're a bit sharper than you look.

That's your trouble.

Hey, Emily.

Hey, I'm on that lid.

Did you think I'd gone out on a banana board?

Emily.

You see any rector?

No, but he would have.

What's his name?

Tim Peersley.

I know him.

He works on the docks.

Leave it with me.

I have a word to say to him tomorrow.

Dirty booger.

You did right hitting him with a porga.

Now you won't try that on me, will you?

By Emily I did a deal the night.

I got you a wedding present.

Something beautiful.

No, no.

No, it's not the time.

You got a bad look after your sister.

But wait till you see.

I sold all of those trinkets to get one thing as precious as you.

I'll deck you in diamonds, lass.

You deserve it.

You're the first thing in my life that's been good.

Zep.

Can't be true.

It is true.

Not like those chaparantas would class themselves as good.

I mean good the way you are.

Good night, Seth.

Good night, lass.

Good night, Seth.

Hold it.

Let's go.

Let's go, lass.

I want a word with you.

That's more than one already?

Lucy's with me now, under sister.

I'll bet she is.

I know what's going on.

Lay off for your answer to me.

Come on then.

I thought you'd never ask.

I'll be right back.

Jesus Christ.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to see the green and the red ones.

I'm going to go.

Where is he?

In the mortuary.

I'll go.

I don't want to let you see him, Miss.

That's for a relative.

I am.

He has a sister.

Mrs. Blackmore.

I don't know where she lives.

Don't worry.

Mrs. Blackmore's been sent for.

Everything's been taken care of.

Is there anyone else you'd like me to tell?

No.

No.

My sister will be here after school.

I'll best be off of that.

Where are you?

I'm Adam.

I see you've heard.

Your number's up.

And not before time.

The whole town's been talking about you and Cep.

We were going to be married.

Who are you?

Couldn't.

If you talk that to the cat, it would scratch your eyes out.

Come on.

We'll get you packed.

Wait a minute.

No, what?

Call me, I'm Adam.

This is my room.

What in here belongs to me?

Everything is Cep's's mind.

Fixtures and fittings.

Cep wouldn't let you in the house.

He hated your guts.

He wanted to marry me.

I know what he wanted.

Army's a relative pet.

You're just his trollop.

Don't you dare tack your name onto me.

Cep said you're a duck whore.

And you are.

You're stinking.

I've got nothing in common with you.

You're not fit to be a woman.

Go on.

Get out!

Get out!

I'll be back.

I'll be back in this house for ticks all my life.

Get yourself away before I spin your eye.

Trollop!

Lucy!

Emily?

What's the matter?

Come on.

Where will we go?

I scraped a few shallons enough for somewhere to stay the night.

Then we'll have no money.

I'm not leaving this house!

He was my brother and I'm stopping!

Oh yeah!

This is black more.

It's not your house.

You have to leave.

It's in the warrant.

And you know what you can do with your dark warrant?

Come on. It's a black more.

You can't just sell to your big spully.

I'm black and blue.

Your neck is and all that.

It's not fair.

It's not.

It's not dumb welfare.

Trollop!

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

Please sir. I was the housekeeper here.

Has Mrs. Blackmore been arrested?

No. Just sadly disappointed.

The house was only Mr. McGillby's while he was alive.

After his death it goes to his wife's family.

Not his.

Did Slep know that?

Oh yes. I imagine so.

Good day.

Did you do that for the foot slipped?

I'll tell you what.

As soon as it's dark we've got somewhere to stay the night that won't cost a penny.

Let's move it.

Shh.

Come on, get into bed.

I'll heat some pie and bring you some cocoa.

Ramen.

No Ma-

I sold all of those trinkets to get one thing that's as precious as you.

I'll deck you in diamonds, lass.

You deserve it.

Welcome back here.

No, we're going to hunt Mary's in Gateshead.

What do you keep the key for?

I'm going to hunt you in a little bit.

I'm going to hunt you in a little bit.

I'm going to hunt you in a little bit.

I'm going to hunt you in a little bit.

What are you after?

We've come to see Aunt Mary.

Aunt Mary?

Mom!

Here a minute!

Mom!

No, what's the matter?

Hello Aunt Mary.

Aunt Mary, Lucy.

Mary, you've got what's brought you.

What's something happened to your dog?

No, I still had to say.

Can we come in?

Yes, of course.

Come in.

Come in.

Come on in.

That's it.

Tear from your out like that.

Oh, the grasping swine.

Here.

Bye.

I wish I'd been there.

Should have felt me foot in her backside.

Here.

No.

Guess so.

Oh my call.

Give your sisters a chance.

Eee.

I've told Frank.

These bones have got to stop.

Aaaah!

And let me wicks and.

Aaaah!

One looks after a nap.

Here you are.

Aaaah!

Aaaah!

Eee.

Can you not pull back to Alice?

Stay at your dar's place.

No.

No.

Well, I told your dar he was asking a lot.

But would he listen to me?

Aunt Mary, about?

I know.

I'm trying to think.

Get off.

I could.

Aaaah!

In my day, there was hiring's a person.

There was hiring's at Felburn.

Every Wednesday.

That's today.

I know that's why I'm telling him.

Have you money for the tram?

Yes.

Leading things there, nobody will touch them.

Which is more than I can say for Felburn Market.

Rest, please.

Hello.

Hi, Grant.

Rest, please.

Hello.

Here's a penny.

Hi, Grant.

Ask the hub.

Rest for some sass burula.

Hi, Grant.

Come on, you gentlemen.

Still starting now.

Take a look at this.

Grant, the pen and gimmers here now.

Where do you want to start?

We are too chilling.

Looking for service?

Service work, yes.

This is where it stands.

Hi.

Well, I don't really love any luck in the day.

I'll stay a while longer.

Thank you.

Please yourself.

Rest, please.

Yes, sir.

I was housekeeper for two years, full-time and part-time, before that.

Why you ought to work?

My employer died just recently.

My farm's out near Seaburn.

Would that be too far for you?

No, sir.

You get usually 18, 10, 18, 1.

I'd better tell you, sir.

This my sister.

She's not that strong, but I'd keep her busy.

She'd be a help.

I wouldn't ask anything for her.

Hello there.

I can spare it.

Oh, thanks, yes.

Thanks Aunt Mary.

That doesn't look like nothing.

I need the whole shoe.

I need the whole shoe by Wednesday.

I'm busy.

There's other places, Baga.

Yine.

Twice the distance and twice the price.

You're wrong about Con.

Her belly proves that somebody's in the wrong.

The whole village knows who it is.

Con's not capable, man.

Oh, don't ask a gullible birch cause you're not.

Con cannot keep his hands off anything with a skirt on.

There's Nelson.

It was him.

Nellie, you've seen it was Con.

She doesn't have to see.

She was seen with him, Baga the Born.

She's been seen in more places than that.

Meaning what?

Meaning what?

We'll just stop him.

Your Nell has led with that many lads.

You don't know who the father is.

But none of them have got any money.

Yeah.

You're Muck birch.

Come on, there's Muck.

Are we inside?

Now you know how you got the job.

No, no.

Now you know how you got the job.

What's that?

Have a!

You are after a shot.

And you thought I'd be left without any help here.

Here, you'll be our age.

I've got nothing against you.

This way.

God?

Hello, God.

This is me, brother-in-law, Mr Conrad Fullwell.

Conrad walks inside and outside the house.

You're very handy young fella, aren't you, Con?

You slurry thanks.

Hello, what's your name?

Emily, sir.

This is my sister Lucy.

Oh, did you hear that, Larry? She called me sir.

No one calls me sir. Everyone calls me Con. Just Con.

Well, Con, now you've met. Let's get the girls settled in.

Con.

You may seem strange to you at first, but you'll find no harm in him.

No matter what you heard.

Come on, Emily.

Lucy?

This is where Roana lives.

The mistress. She lives in her room.

Ron, is that you? Where's Mel?

Just pretend we're not here.

I'm not here.

I'm not here.

I'm not here.

I'm not here.

I'm not here.

I'm not here.

Just pretend we're not here.

I'm some of you idiot.

He's there.

He's gone.

That was too fun.

My best seats were on.

See you to the girls.

What girls, Larry?

What bitches have you brought this time?

I was going to get told when we could sound like a fishy here.

I've been left alone all day.

Not when you've been left.

You know what?

Some people think the house is haunted.

Come on, Lucy.

Never say I die here.

Mom?

Oh, don't worry.

The ghost never comes up here.

I'm not here.

I'm not here.

I'm not here.

I'm not here.
