00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,474
-You sure it's not a faint? It's happened before.
-No, Nicholas. She's dead.

Oh...

Oh…
172

How long it's going to take us
to get back on our feet?
173
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,994
My poor Bess.
174
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,470
She lived the life of a dog.
175
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,191
Hard work and illness.
She never had one moment of rejoicing.
176
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,751
She... she may not have had an easy life,
177
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,275
but she will find comfort in the next.

[LAUGHS]
179
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,149
I'm not saying I don't
believe in your God,
180
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,358
but I can't believe
He meant the world to be as it is.
181
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,955
The masters ruling over us,
182
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,511
the rest of us left to live a half-life
in the shadows.
183
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,035
He gave us the world
184
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,592
and our wits and intelligence to
discover the grace and beauty in others...
185
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:32,312
And I'm to believe that He gave some
more than others, and that was His will?
186
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:38,670
It's our duty to make peace with others. It's
a pity that you seem to think in terms of
187
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,798
war and strife.
188
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,792
I know there's suffering,
189
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,315
and I know there are
cruel and greedy masters,
190
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:52,919
but surely it would be better
for people of goodwill on both sides
191
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,959
to sit down and share ideas
192
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,193
of how to do God's will,
to live together in peace and harmony.
193
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,476
Wouldn't you think a man like
194
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,836
like Thornton would be open to ideas?
195
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,117
Thornton?
196
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,875
He brought in the Irish,
that led to the riot and broke the strike.
197
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,079
Even Hamper would have waited,
but Thornton's got no deceit about him.
198
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,231
Just when we needed him to be hard,
199
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,358
to hunt down men like Boucher
and men who betrayed us,
200
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,593
what does he do? He says he's the
injured party. He won't press charges.
201
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,674
They'll not get employment.
That's punishment enough, he says.
202
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,518
-I thought he'd have more guts.
-Mr. Thornton was right.
203

I know that you're angry with Boucher,
204
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,755

anything more would look like revenge.

She said the strike'd be the end of her. And
it's all because of weak men like Boucher.

-Aye.

You talk of the tyranny
of the masters, Nicholas.

Now, don't worry, Mr. Hale.
215
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,319
I haven't forgotten who's lying dead
and how much she loved your girl.
216
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,360
I'll just say this. Being in the union
217
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,750
it IS like being in a war.
218

And with a war comes some crime.

crime to do nothing.

Yes, but
233

if you went, you
could tell me all about it

00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,554
I'm afraid of him coming

There is a risk, but we will be careful.
243
00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:04,909
If we were still at Helstone,
people would know who he was.

00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,798
People would remember.

While here nobody knows or cares for us
to notice what we do.

I suppose there's some virtue
in being uprooted and friendless.

all the world is here for us to see.

Maybe WE should go into cotton.

I should think it takes a deal more energy
than you have, Maxwell.

I could write to him all the details
of the crew and the ship.

happened to make him scowl, Fred.

He's not from these parts.

00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:03,551
We're trying to identify him.
469
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,710
Find out who killed him.
470
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:25,471
-We thought we'd find you here at dinner-time.
-You're pretty sure of finding me here any time.

-Please. Sit down.
-Thank you.
472
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,356
You're out of work still,
because of the strike?
473
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,034
I'm out of work because
I choose not to work.
474
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:39,274
-Have you asked for work at your old mill?
-Hamper knows I'm good. He'd take me back.
475
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,954
But now we're not allowed
to pay into the union.
476
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:48,639
We do that so we can have a strike fund so we
can pay a shilling a week to those in hardship.
477
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,350
Their thinking is, if we're not allowed,
there'll be no strikes.
478
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:56,036
We're not asking masters to fund a strike.
We're not that simple.
479
00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:01,718
But where's the crime in giving to your
own out of your own wages, freely earned?

-You earn a wage, don't you, Mr. Hale?
-Yes. Yes, I do.
481
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:07,890
The people who pay you
don't tell you how to spend it.

00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,560
No.

-No, they... they certainly don't.
-Do all the mills operate this new rule?

Remember Boucher saying
the union was a tyrant?
485
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,838
Sometimes the union has to force a man
to see what's good for him.
486
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,152
-Boucher was always a fool.
-So he did the union harm?
487
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,234
We had opinion on our side till he
started rioting and breaking the law.
488
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,837
Wouldn't it have been better to leave
him alone? He did the union no good.
489
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,991
And you drove him mad.

00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,595
-Margaret.
-She speaks her mind. I like it.
491
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,640
She doesn't understand.
The union is a great power.
492
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:50,072
The union is our only power.
493
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,950
I'd best not talk about it.
I can't help feeling angry at Boucher.
494
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,509
-There's no end to his mischief.
-Still?
495
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:02,231
Oh, yeah. First of all he starts a riot,
then he goes into hiding.

Thornton doesn't prosecute, so he
slinks back home, and what does he do?
497
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:12,033
He goes off to Hamper's begging for work,
though that'd mean forsaking his union dues.
498
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:16,398
To be fair to Hamper, he didn't
listen to Boucher. He drove him away.

Aye. Determined to
kill himself, all right.

My duty obliges me
to ask you a few plain questions.
530
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,958
A man's died at the infirmary,
following a fall, we think,
531
00:47:56,120 --> 00:48:00,159
after a fight at outwards station
between the hours of 11 and 12 at night
532
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,199
on Thursday the 26th.
533
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,433
Erm... at the time, the fight didn't
appear to be of much consequence.
534
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,912
The doctors think the man had a bad
drinking habit and some internal complaint.
535
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,232
There will have to be an inquest.
536
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:19,915
The witness, a grocer's assistant,
537
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:24,950
stated that the fight was precipitated by
some drunken impertinence to a young lady
538
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,511
who was walking with a man at the station.
539
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,914
There is some reason to believe that
that young lady might be you, ma'am.

I was not there.

00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:43,638
The witness said the lady
was remarkably handsome.
542
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:46,911
He, er
543
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,879
he identified the lady
as a Miss Hale from Crampton,
544
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:54,750
whose family frequent the shop.
You are the only Miss Hale from Crampton.

-I was not there.
-I see.

that you were that lady?

It may be that if my witness insists

00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,672
that it was you at outwards station
at that time,
558
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,754
then I may have to summon you

-Yes. Leonards, wasn't it?

-Yes, indeed. What of it?

It's just that his death
is mixed up with Miss Hale, sir.

I have a very secure chain of evidence

00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,152
that a gentleman walking out
with Miss Hale at the station
569
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,914
fought with Leonards
and may have caused his death.

was with is connected to the death?
