I've arranged for
the bells to be rung
at 3:00 on the great day.

Yes, yes.
You told me that already,
Dudley.

You are taking
your best man's duties
rather earnestly.

As you did last time.

I've been informed that
since there are to
be four bridesmaids,

you'll need another groomsman.

We'll ask Arthur.

Arthur? We can't have Arthur.
Arthur is...

He was born in
the loading bays.

I envy him.
He was born here,
in The Paradise.

He's more part of
this place than I am.

I love the lad
as much as anyone,

but you are to
marry a Glendenning.

Arthur is an errand boy.

All the more reason
why he should be here.

I never want to
forget what I am.

I'll have him
fitted for a suit.

Dudley.

You were the same last time.

If you were as
hesitant about business
as you are with love,

there would be no Paradise.

It is going to be a great day,
my friend

and I've decided
that you are
going to enjoy it.

That's it.

Did I say I'd
arrange for the bells
to be rung at 3:00?

You know,
she'd come back to us,
if we asked her.

She will not cross the street
again.

But what if she were to
approach us?

She will not abandon her uncle
after all that has happened.

We all know you want to come
back, so why do you
pretend you don't?

I never said I
don't want to come back.

Your bed's still free
and I still snore.

Mr Moray would
like nothing better
than a defeated rival

to come knocking at his door
looking for a job.

It makes him
look all-conquering.

I think I'll win this time.

And if I win,
it's because you're
my lucky charm, Sam.

You lost the last
10 hands already,
what was I then?

But you dealt me these cards
so that's where my good
fortune will come from.

Mr Moray likes you.

Your work.
He's always
favoured you, so...

SAM: Ask him,
while he's in good spirits.

Wedding cheer
all over the place.

I don't think
I could do that to my uncle

after all that
we've been through.
So, there's an end to it.

(SQUEALS)

I've won!

You see, Sam, we make a pair.

DUDLEY: The whole street.
Every shop.
How is that possible?

Lord Glendenning became aware
of efforts to purchase

the Tollgate Street freehold.

He alerted me and
agreed to provide me
with the funds to acquire it.

-Funds?
-A loan.

Quite a loan.

It places us
in an insurmountable position,
Dudley.

We can move with absolute
confidence now.

The street will be ours.

The Paradise will be mine
outright, the land as well
as the building.

We can plan ahead for years.

Expand as we
sense there is enough
custom to warrant it.

If the man you owe money to
is your father-in-law,

I suppose the situation
is hardly precarious.

(SCOFFS)

Look out of the window.

It is ours to make happen
what we imagined as boys.

-Will you do something for me?
-Mmm-hmm.

What I'm about to say, please,
just accept it
without argument.

You must go back
to The Paradise.

It's where you belong.

You're young. It's good work.
They'll take you back.

-They're not fools.
-Uncle...

You're not allowed
to challenge me on this.

Give me that, please.

You tried to help me.

You tried.

My trouble is I
spend so much time
thinking about myself.

My own woes.

I looked at you stood on that
street selling neckties
without complaint,

when I know you're the best
at your job in that place.

My dear uncle.

I can see you love it there,

and that is all that matters.

I was wondering when you might
turn up at my door.

My uncle said that
he would not object.

He would be obliging
if I were to
return to The Paradise.

Did he, now?

That is gracious of him.

But your uncle is not
what is troubling you,

-is it, Denise?
-No, ma'am.

We must not be shy
in declaring the obvious.

Mr Moray is to be married.

There is a reason for that.
It is rightful.

Your part in putting to rest
any past
indiscretions is simple.

You will make
clear to Mr Moray
that you know your place.

You wish to be no
more than an employee.

Yes, I see.

If you fear that
you will not be able
to survive here,

then do not come back.

I believe you can.

To the young, romantic
feelings seem to be what
the world is built on,

but they pass.

Trust that your longing will
leave you and that will give
you the strength.

And I'm to escort
the guests to their seats.

Oh, if your suit's
fine enough, Arthur,

you might find
a rich girl of your own.

Watch out for
tough girls, Arthur.
They can be trouble.

We're all trouble, Arthur,
that's what makes us such fun.

I've never been to
a wedding before.

Sam prefers
girls like himself.

Proper working class
and no fancy nonsense.

Sam is
considering being a monk

or propping up
the bar in the pub
for the rest of his life.

Take my advice, Arthur.
Rich or poor,
they'll break your heart.

But they'll torment you first.

Oh, don't you listen to him,
Arthur.

Boys will kiss you first,

then betray you,
then break your heart,
then run away.

Aye.
But they're the cunning ones.
The rest of us are just mugs.

Some days I feel there's not a
boy in the world who
understands girls.

I've never seen
a bride before.

Here, the more talk I hear of
weddings, the more me thirst's
growing. Come on!

-Veils?
-Wedding veils.

Festooned across
the whole of Ladieswear.

Draped, hung, brandished
enticingly in all quarters.

But won't it look rather

-curious?
-Oh, mysterious, sir.

The veil is the shroud itself,
beyond which
lies Adam and Eve.

(JONAS CLEARS THROAT)

As a boy,
I was told that the veil
was to protect the bride.

Evil spirits are
attracted to them.

So, with her face covered,
it would confuse them.

My own
understanding is much less
diabolical than that.

The veil is to symbolise

all that is purity, chastity
and modesty.

Denise! How
pleasant it is to see you.

And you, Mr Dudley, sir.

Miss Audrey. Mr Jonas.

I take it you haven't come
to admire our displays?

I was hoping to ask...

I realise you
will have to speak
to Mr Moray, and I realise...

We will restore you
to Ladieswear, Denise.

Moray and I spoke about
such a possibility recently

-and he will welcome you back.
-(SIGHING) Thank you, sir.

But before we can even
consider the matter,

we must seek Miss
Audrey's approval.

A little
humbling is no bad thing
for a girl with aspirations.

I take it you
feel humbled, Denise?

I come here
knowing my place, ma'am.

And I'm grateful for
your consideration.

So be it. You can start today.
We are busy
with wedding fever.

Moray.
I wanted to tell you meself.

Denise has
returned to the fold.

You don't object, do you?

We discussed it.
Miss Audrey's
given her approval.

Yes, yes, of course, um,
that is good news.

Perhaps she might
start next week.

Well,
I asked her to start today.
I saw no reason to delay.

Yes, yes, you're right.

I wish I could invite
every one of you
to the wedding.

That is not possible.

I'm sure you appreciate
the store must remain open.

And so, I need you here
to take care of things for me

in my absence.

You will be represented
at the service by Dudley,

Miss Audrey and Arthur,
who I'm sure has
told every one of you.

-A dress suit and a favour.
-(ALL LAUGH)

But let no man
call me cold-hearted.

You'll have your
own celebration.

On Saturday...

On Saturday, when the store
closes, there will be
drinks and food for all.

(ALL MURMURING)

I hope you will
toast to my future.

Is there to be
a lot of travel?
A ship, perhaps?

I need to know
how I should pack.

Your maid has
her instructions.

The house feels
different already,

knowing that soon,
you will live here with us.

I look out on the street
and there are tall boys

and handsome
boys and jolly boys.
There's hundreds of them.

So why is it so
hard to find one?

You'll find the right boy
for you, Pauline.

Depends what you
want the boy for.

If you want him to marry you,
you have to set
out to catch him.

And that takes cunning.

I used to think I wanted
some fine gentleman

to come into the store
and carry me away.

But now if
Arthur came knocking
at the door,

-I'd say yes in half a wink.
-(CHUCKLES)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

-Come in!
-Come in!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

I have a note for Denise.

-Oh, Denise, a note for you.
-Mmm!

Who are you
getting notes from?

Sent to your room?

It's from my uncle.

I have to go
across the street to see him.

Your uncle never
sent you notes before.

Is it from Mr Lovett, Arthur?

I'm just a delivery boy.

You can go now, Arthur.

Do you think it's a boy?

Not a boy, no.

Thank you for coming.

I...

I thought it best
that we spoke somewhere

away from the store.

Sir, if you do not want me
to return to The Paradise...

I cannot marry Katherine.

I've said it to
myself a hundred times.

But when I saw
your face today,

when I spoke, I...

You know why.
You see it every
time I look at you.

Isn't that so?

Yes. Yes, it is.

I've tried to deny it but I...

I just can't make myself stop.

To hear you say those words,

I can barely believe it.

I have decided that
I must face everyone

and tell them the truth.

It is a terrible mess
but it will be
worse if I go on.

These moments that
we have together,

it's so easy between us.

If we let this moment pass,

we will live with
such regret, I...

I cannot endure that.

I have been told
that the feelings
fade with time.

But I did not
want to believe it.
I did not want to accept it.

I will tell Katherine.

There will be hell to pay
and scandal, no doubt,

but it will pass.

When all this settles down,

Katherine will see
that this is for the best.

Every friend I have spoken to
tells me the days
before the wedding

are fraught with
all manner of crisis.

Our preparations are passing
so smoothly,

I do believe the occasion
must be blessed.

Money helps. And a title.

Papa, affected cynicism
does not become you.

I wish you wouldn't conceal
what a romantic you truly are.

-I'm a banker.
-A romantic banker.

An impossibility.

PAULINE: What I heard was
the body was
half-eaten by the fishes.

There was no flesh on the man.

DENISE: How awful,
to lie in the water.

PAULINE: Oh, it happens all
the time. Once or twice a
year, drunks falling in.

The thing to do is to stay
away from bridges when you've
had too much beer.

And perhaps the thing to do is
not get so very drunk.

You look different, Denise.

No, I'm the same.

Your face has changed.
Why are you different?

SAM: It's Burroughs,
the man found in the river.

Burroughs?

Bradley Burroughs.

Arthur. We are very
proud of you, son.

You'll be there to carry
all our best wishes

to Mr Moray and his bride.

Quite a responsibility.
Mr Moray has chosen well.

Thank you, sir.

It's a terrible shock
to hear about Burroughs.

Yes. It is, sir.

He was a drinker.
He must have
fallen into the river.

What you saw, Arthur,
Burroughs getting
into my carriage.

You and me know
that it means nothing.

What is it, sir?

We must keep what
we know to ourselves.

There are people all too ready
or too keen to misunderstand.

They would use this
to bring Mr Moray down.

Then what would happen to you,
Arthur? Eh? (CHUCKLES)

What would become of Arthur?

(SOFTLY) I'm sorry.

-Your Lordship.
-Moray!

You've missed her.
She's too excited to settle.

Taken herself off on
a shopping expedition,
I expect.

Ah, I see.

My daughter
tries to convince me
that I'm a romantic

but I can prove that I'm not.
You see, for me,

the best part of
any nuptial ceremony
is the wedding breakfast.

(LAUGHS)
Has Katherine
gone to The Paradise?

Yes. You see, the service
itself, I find tedious
and over-emotional.

Not to say thoroughly tense.
I mean, I love God,

but hymns make me tense.
Do they make you tense?

-Hymns?
-Mmm.

-No.
-No?

Perhaps it's
the vows that do it to me.

All those promises.
For richer, for poorer.

Honour and obey.

Till death us do part.

They make it sound like
the sword of Damocles.

By the way,
I bought the fee simple
for Tollgate Street.

Kept me in the bank
all hours yesterday.
Excuse me, sir, but...

Am I to understand

that you have purchased
the Tollgate Street
freehold yourself?

-I have.
-I see.

My understanding was
that you were going
to loan me the money

so that I might acquire them.

Well,
that is what we discussed,
but I thought better of it.

But what use is the
freehold to you? I...

Of course,
you can do as you wish.
I'm only trying to grasp why.

If I wish to expand,

-does that mean that, um...
-Moray.

In a few days' time,
you're going
to marry my daughter.

What could be better? Hmm?

Family.
Katherine is utterly devoted
to you

and I'm convinced that
you will make her happy.

Now, under the circumstances,

what does it
matter if it's my name
on the document or yours?

-I see.
-Yes.

The wedding breakfast is when
everyone relaxes.

The deed is done
and all that's left
is to celebrate.

Do you ever wonder what
you might look
like wearing a veil?

I was always told that if a
girl looks at herself in
the mirror wearing a veil

before
the morning of her marriage,

then her husband will die
on the wedding day.

Best not look in the mirror
then, Pauline.

Go on.
I'd like to see
how it suits you.

I just want to know
what it feels like.

How do I look?

You look like a bride.

Glorious and happy.

Oh, it does feel different
from in here.

Makes you feel sort of drunk,
and I say things
when I'm drunk.

I wish that Sam would love me.

If a boy like
Sam could love me,
then all would be happiness.

Why do we always
have to love the ones
who don't love us back, eh?

You try it, Clara.

I'm not going to
make meself a fool,
standing there wearing a veil.

Go on, then. Give it here.

I'll tell you this,
I will find a man to marry me,

if I have to put
a rope around his neck.

Are you going to marry him
or take him prisoner?

-Aren't they
both the same thing?
-(ALL LAUGH)

Your turn, Denise.

No.

I know my luck,
Miss Audrey will come back.

We did it. Go on.

Is there anything in the world
more romantic
than a wedding veil?

Yes, the wedding night.
I can't wait.

You're right, Pauline.
It does feel
different in here.

It feels heavenly.

I do.

Excuse me, Miss Glendenning.
We were just...

-You're back.
-Yes, ma'am.

What have we here?

-Sir.
-Darling,

might I speak with you?

-Shall we go inside?
-No, I don't want
to go back in there.

Tell me about Denise.

Denise?

She has returned
to The Paradise.

Yes, yes.

She has, yes.

But didn't she
stand against you?

I thought you might drive her
from the street

but here she is.

Moray.

Katherine.

I must ask you

to free me from
the promise I made to you.

-Listen to me.
-No, you cannot say any more.

I can't...
I can't bear to hear it.

-I need you to hear me.
-You love me.

You are mine.

Katherine.

(SCOFFS) A girl. A shop girl?

No. No, no, no. I will not...

-Would you
rather I lied to you?
-You are mine.

I want my wedding.

You cannot take
that away from me
to dabble with some plaything.

-She is not that.
-Oh, she is.

-It must be. It has to be.
-I promise you.

I have waited for you and I
have loved you and I
will not let you go.

Katherine,
I am asking you to accept...

No, it is your
turn to accept that
we are bound now. We are one.

You are wriggling.

That is all.
That is what men do.

We will marry.

Listen to me.

I'm sorry, but it is done.

There can be no wedding.

Mr Moray, sir, if I may?

Sir, Burroughs has been found.

His body, it was in the river.
I'm sorry.

Who knows that
he has been found?

They identified
him this morning.
Everyone knows it's him.

What are they saying?

I have no doubt
there will be talk, sir.

But I can assure you that
nothing of this will
come to your door.

Such a pity about
Bradley Burroughs, eh?

Gone quiet on us,
Arthur, why is that?

Arthur,

if you know
something about Burroughs,

about Mr Jonas,
and you say nothing,

you put The Paradise at risk.
You understand?

I'm doing it
for Mr Moray, sir.

What do you mean?

You know me.
I'm Moray's closest friend.

You cannot hide
this for one more day.

-It was the carriage.
-What about the carriage?

I don't ever see
you out on the street
at night, Mr Lovett.

I can't sleep for the thought
of old Burroughs
face-down in the water.

The picture of that
keeps a man awake.

What is it, Clara?

-Is it Burroughs?
-Oh, no.

Not nasty old Burroughs.

It might be a beautiful thing
to be out of it all.

Don't speak like that.

You're a young girl
with everything to live for.

It's only talk.
It's only self-pity.

It'll be gone in the morning.
(SNIFFLING)

Surprised you let your Denise
back in there, Mr Lovett.

Well, she needs the work.

-She'll do well for herself.
-I don't mean that.

I mean letting
her go back in there
when she's in love with Moray.

Surely you knew?

Did I say the wrong thing?

See, I tried to tell her how
it was for me,
but she was beyond listening.

Tell me no more.

I hope I haven't
said the wrong thing.

(DOOR CLOSING)

That's all I saw.

They left together,
Burroughs and Mr Jonas,

in the carriage.

Tell Mr Moray what
Mr Jonas said to you.

"Never mention this to anyone.
It's a secret, for Mr Moray."

Thank you, Arthur.

You have done the right thing.

What are we
going to do, Moray?

We must fetch the Constable.

I have sensed for some time
that something was wrong.

-That man is
beyond conscience.
-I knew.

Jonas told me.

Why did you say nothing?

Loyalty to Jonas, I suppose.

Now it is impossible to go
to the Constable,

because you are complicit.

He did it for me. To save me.

Burroughs was
intent on telling

wild tales about
Helene's death.

Did you ask him to do this?

Did you want him to kill a man
in your name?

No.

Would you bring down the store
and everyone who
works here for one man?

We don't even know who he is
or why he came here.

He came here because
he needed somewhere to belong.

And look how he
has rewarded you.

What matters is
what we do now.

There is a body found.
Every day that
he remains here,

he is a danger to us. To you.

We must be rid of Jonas.

If you falter now, Moray,
you will never have
him off your back.

He will drag us all
down into his mire.

Let me do it.
He'll be gone
before the wedding.

(BELL JINGLES)

I don't eat sugars.

I wanted to thank you, Edmund,
for what you did for Denise.

It can't have
been easy for you.

It takes a strong
man to do something
so selfless.

And it takes a devious woman
to betray a man
to his very soul.

Are we to forever hark back...

No, I'm talking about
what you do to me now.

You knew, didn't you?

You knew my Denise had fallen
for that devil.

Nothing will become of it.
Moray is to marry.

They are nothing more than a
young girl's immature
feelings. It will pass.

Until the day comes
when he preys on her weakness.

And you knew.

And you hid it from me.

What do you call that, Audrey?

If you are forever
looking for betrayal,
then you are sure to find it.

I must get back.

For years, Edmund,
you have convinced yourself

that the reason I
did not marry you
is out there.

Did you never
consider it is in here
in this room?

And it is here now.

Still.

(BELL JINGLES)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Jonas.

Mr Dudley, sir.

You were witnessed in a
carriage with Burroughs
the very night...

If I may, sir.

-Observed by who?
-You know who.

If you attempt to cause
any harm to Arthur...

No harm will
ever come to Arthur
while I'm here to prevent it.

Well,
you will not be here, Jonas.
You are finished.

I spent time on the road, sir.
It is not a life I
intend to go back to.

It took some time to find
a place to belong.

Mrs Moray gave me that.
It is not up to
you to take it away.

You are finished.

I will not
believe that Mr Moray
wishes me gone

until I hear it
from his own mouth.

-He knows well
enough my loyalty...
-Go soon

and go quietly.

Uncle.

I can hold my
tongue no longer, Denise.
Is it true?

Is it true? Do you love him?

Yes, Uncle.

-You'd do this to me?
-I haven't done
it to hurt you.

You were in love once.

Tell me nothing
has come of this.

Let me hear you say
there is nothing between you.

-I cannot tell you that.
-(GASPING)

Uncle,
I would not distress you
for all the world.

You have been my family.

The kindest. All that I have.

What I feel for John,
I cannot deny it.

Well, it's some while since
I've seen a look on your face

quite as black as this.

She is back in the store.

The girl.

Denise.

And why should
that matter so much,
my darling?

She was wearing a veil.

A wedding veil.

As if to mock me.

And I could see

she wants to take him from me.

Katherine.

The girl, the veil...

None of it would
hurt you like this

if you truly believed
that Moray loved you.

Moray loves me.

I have seen it.

Felt it.

She is a shop
girl who imagines
she can seduce her employer.

Well, have you
spoken to Moray about it?
Asked him about her?

I know what I must do.

If there is anything of her
in his heart,

I will dig it out.

(CUSTOMERS CHATTING)

Denise, you have a note.

DENISE: I'm sorry, ma'am.
I realise how terrible...

Do not speak to
me as your equal.

You are a child.

My father always told me
that I'm a child of God.

And that makes me
the same as any person
on this Earth.

I will not permit
you to try to take
Moray away from me.

If that's what you believe,
then you must speak to John.

I have spoken to Moray.

To John.

I can see how a girl like you
might bewitch a man,

with your simple innocence
and your clever girl-talk.

I have seen how your
ideas for the store
beguile him.

I cannot make any man love me,
least of all John Moray.

I haven't come
here to plead with you
nor to reason.

I can see what
kind of creature
I am faced with.

So I am clear how I
must deal with you.

We own everything now.

The freehold to every property
on this street
belongs to my family.

Your uncle's shop,
The Paradise,
all of it.

Do you know what that means?

It means that we
decide who will remain

and who will lose everything.

Moray has built his Paradise
from nothing.

-Would you take
that away from him?
-I would not be the one who...

Oh, but you would.

You may tell yourself
that you are
the victim in this.

You may convince
yourself of that now,
today, with all of your heart.

But I know this.

If you persist,

it will torment you.

I know Moray.

I have seen his ways.

He will be brave.

But The Paradise is his life,

his purpose.

Robbed of that and
you will watch him
wither and die.

And every day, you will know

that you had the opportunity,
this moment now, to stop it.

And perhaps he may
never turn on you,

never blame you,

but you will blame yourself.

Because you will
know that you had
the power to stop it.

You will know that you are
the true cause
of his suffering.

Why...

Why would you
want to marry a man

who has told you
that he does not love you?

(SCOFFS) Does no
one understand?

Can no one see
how simple it is?

I have taught him
to love me once.

I can do it again.

(GIGGLING)

Oh, Denise,
mighty decision to make.

Payday tomorrow. Now, do I pay
the landlord at
the pub what I owe him

or do I go dancing?

I go dancing.

Denise, I'm in love.

I fell down and
I fell in love.

He's a porter
and his name's...

Oh, I forgot his name!

He's been
looking at me all week
and I didn't even know it.

I'm going to go tell Sam.

You can ruin me, Jonas.

I know that.

I am complicit.

I couldn't even imagine
that I could do such a thing.

I can see it in your face.

-Have I not told you...
-You stalk me.

What is it you want?

I wanted to
speak with you, sir.

I wanted to
tell you that I see

there are whispers.

Talk. Suspicion.

The talk is all about me.
But if I go,
then the talk goes with me.

It is done.

There is no stain
on your reputation.

-Thank you.
-It is my fault, sir.

I acted without
your permission.

I thought I was doing good.
Perhaps I was wrong.

You have known Katherine.
You were
together for some time.

-Of course, but...
-There must have
been a reason for that.

There must have been something
between you.

(SCOFFS) Denise.
That was before I met you.

But you felt
affection and attraction.

You mustn't doubt
me on this, Denise.

To ask her to marry you,

some part of
you must have felt
it was right.

You might feel that again.

No. Not now.

But if you were
to marry her...

How can you say that?

-She can give you
a life that I...
-This is our life.

-The Paradise.
-And what if
there is no Paradise?

Tell me the truth.

Please, tell me
about the Glendennings.

(SIGHING)

It is true.

I have debts.

Great debts that I owe
to Lord Glendenning.

And I have
learned that he now owns
the freehold to The Paradise.

But if they take
this away from me,
I can start again.

I can see that you
would do that for me.

But I cannot do that to you.

I can't do that
to those people
who work here,

live here.

This store will
manage without me.

They will put
Dudley in charge.

Do you suppose Dudley would
want that, to see The Paradise
taken away from you?

And him be part of that,
him take your place?

It would destroy him.

(SIGHING)

I cannot marry Katherine.

I say that you can.

You know that I love you.

I have seen that you would
sacrifice everything.

Perhaps that means
that you do not have to.

You will see my
eyes looking at you

and you will know.

We will always know.

(CHURCH BELLS RINGING)

(BELL JINGLING)

(GASPING)

What a picture.

A man's heart might stop.

-I don't want to go.
-Oh, don't be silly.

You'll steal the show,
as you always do.

I can't bear weddings.

I've never been to one.

Every time I make an excuse.
I say I'm unwell.

They terrify me, weddings.

Love terrifies me.

What have I done
to you, Edmund?

Why did you choose a woman
so afraid of love?

Can you ever forgive me?

When you love
someone as I love you,

there is no room for blame.

Do feelings never fade?

(CUSTOMERS CHATTING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

No bride ever
looked more radiant.

Papa.

You always find
the perfect thing to say.

Are you ready?

Moray, we have to go.

Are you ready?

Denise!
