1
00:00:00,002 --> 00:00:03,535
I need this baptism certificate
to find my family.
2
00:00:05,610 --> 00:00:09,612
This is not one of their plantations
slavers! It's England!
3
00:00:11,060 --> 00:00:12,981
But it's inhumane, Robert.
4
00:00:12,982 --> 00:00:14,857
We don't do that here.
5
00:00:14,858 --> 00:00:16,823
If Susannah leaves, I leave too.
6
00:00:16,824 --> 00:00:19,247
Together, as husband and wife.
7
00:00:19,255 --> 00:00:20,729
So sign this.
8
00:00:20,765 --> 00:00:23,119
And you can stay
in the village,
9
00:00:23,122 --> 00:00:25,167
as Mr. and Mrs. Bate.
10
00:00:25,168 --> 00:00:29,138
Their goal is to delay adoption
of the Law of Ten Hours,
11
00:00:29,515 --> 00:00:32,715
a law which does not seek
to ensure that no child
12
00:00:32,716 --> 00:00:34,965
no longer works more than 10 hours a day.
13
00:00:36,294 --> 00:00:38,982
We don't give up
injured children, Robert.
14
00:00:38,983 --> 00:00:40,335
I will use it.
15
00:00:40,336 --> 00:00:42,793
He will have to show himself
capable of something else
16
00:00:42,813 --> 00:00:44,537
than passing dishes.
17
00:00:44,538 --> 00:00:48,533
Liverpool is that way.
Go this way, across this field.
18
00:00:49,982 --> 00:00:52,861
You saw Catherine
at the poorhouse?
19
00:00:52,862 --> 00:00:54,918
Timperley killed your sister.
20
00:01:44,712 --> 00:01:46,076
I'll tell him.
21
00:01:46,099 --> 00:01:49,624
He won't listen to you.
They never do!
22
00:01:49,625 --> 00:01:50,828
She's my sister.
23
00:01:50,863 --> 00:01:53,927
- We need proof.
- I want to see her.
24
00:01:53,946 --> 00:01:56,983
She must already be in her grave.
25
00:01:57,284 --> 00:02:01,209
If Timperley finds out we know
what he did, we will be in danger.
26
00:02:01,210 --> 00:02:05,199
Do you think he's incapable of starting again?
To cover yourself?
27
00:02:06,398 --> 00:02:09,631
But how can we
find evidence?
28
00:02:09,660 --> 00:02:11,347
By being patient.
29
00:02:11,348 --> 00:02:13,558
I had two more years to do here.
30
00:02:13,563 --> 00:02:17,562
That will give me enough time
to find them.
31
00:02:57,814 --> 00:02:59,933
It runs really well!
32
00:02:59,947 --> 00:03:01,752
We are making progress.
33
00:03:09,216 --> 00:03:10,511
Is it that...?
34
00:03:12,016 --> 00:03:16,013
Did it just come
to stop automatically?
35
00:03:17,977 --> 00:03:20,408
It’s more than “progress.”
36
00:03:20,423 --> 00:03:22,893
It is far from completely finished.
37
00:03:23,989 --> 00:03:27,961
I will file the patent
as soon as I return from London.
38
00:03:29,178 --> 00:03:30,323
Well done.
39
00:03:41,408 --> 00:03:43,624
He had to find it, eventually.
40
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:58,912
Now that you have signed
the document...
41
00:04:01,263 --> 00:04:05,264
he no longer has any reason
to send me elsewhere now.
42
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,618
We don't need to get married anymore.
43
00:04:10,869 --> 00:04:12,135
Here. NOW.
44
00:04:13,983 --> 00:04:17,990
In all sincerity, and speaking to you
without the slightest constraint...
45
00:04:18,780 --> 00:04:19,819
I love you.
46
00:04:21,102 --> 00:04:23,405
And I want to stay with you.
47
00:04:50,102 --> 00:04:54,101
I'm looking for a girl. She came
here from Liverpool Hospice.
48
00:04:54,234 --> 00:04:57,111
Make an appointment
at the spinning office.
49
00:04:57,137 --> 00:04:58,690
But I come from far away.
50
00:04:58,695 --> 00:05:00,420
We don't deal with Liverpool.
51
00:05:00,421 --> 00:05:04,374
According to this, you do it.
She left it at the church.
52
00:05:04,643 --> 00:05:06,565
Her name is Esther Price.
53
00:05:07,844 --> 00:05:09,425
I am his sister.
54
00:05:12,071 --> 00:05:13,612
She ran away.
55
00:05:24,429 --> 00:05:28,418
Esther's sister.
All the way from Liverpool...
56
00:05:29,344 --> 00:05:33,341
It seems to me that we would be
much better inside.
57
00:05:35,237 --> 00:05:39,231
Please take this
to the kitchen please, Tommy.
58
00:05:39,711 --> 00:05:41,675
Please forgive me.
59
00:05:41,676 --> 00:05:44,345
My son runs the spinning mill
and he went away.
60
00:05:44,379 --> 00:05:47,508
You can formulate your request
in writing, he will take care of it
61
00:05:47,509 --> 00:05:48,541
in due time.
62
00:05:48,542 --> 00:05:50,933
I spent
a week's wages to come.
63
00:05:50,934 --> 00:05:52,886
Impossible to see her today.
64
00:05:52,898 --> 00:05:54,265
Why this?
65
00:05:54,266 --> 00:05:57,311
She does her punishment.
I said it, she ran away.
66
00:05:57,334 --> 00:06:00,010
This is not the reason for his return.
67
00:06:00,775 --> 00:06:02,529
When can I see her?
68
00:06:02,530 --> 00:06:04,692
This decision is up to my son.
69
00:06:04,693 --> 00:06:06,760
Is it a spinning mill or a prison?
70
00:06:06,765 --> 00:06:08,561
For apprentices, a house.
71
00:06:08,572 --> 00:06:11,977
That their parents couldn't give them.
72
00:06:11,978 --> 00:06:13,884
What time does it finish?
73
00:06:13,888 --> 00:06:15,804
After nine o'clock this evening.
74
00:06:15,818 --> 00:06:18,894
She will pray like the rest of us
for the Ten-Hour Law.
75
00:06:18,895 --> 00:06:20,313
We'll have to leave.
76
00:06:20,317 --> 00:06:22,441
Don't tell me what to do!
77
00:06:22,448 --> 00:06:25,688
You will find something to write
over here.
78
00:06:25,689 --> 00:06:27,944
Leave a note to your sister.
79
00:06:27,967 --> 00:06:30,239
I will make sure it is given to him.
80
00:06:35,893 --> 00:06:39,618
It is not wise to let
Esther talking to strangers.
81
00:06:39,622 --> 00:06:42,115
Thank you, Mr Timperley.
82
00:06:48,930 --> 00:06:50,683
What did you tell him?
83
00:06:50,684 --> 00:06:52,998
Simply to go to the office.
84
00:06:53,010 --> 00:06:55,254
Are you sure that's all?
85
00:06:56,326 --> 00:06:59,449
Maître Robert is currently negotiating
an important matter.
86
00:06:59,450 --> 00:07:03,438
And this visit comes
at a very inopportune time.
87
00:07:03,656 --> 00:07:06,734
It is advisable not to blow it
a word to Esther.
88
00:07:06,735 --> 00:07:10,730
I will let him know
when the time is right.
89
00:07:10,901 --> 00:07:12,208
Come on, run.
90
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,996
I will leave my name
and my address.
91
00:07:22,997 --> 00:07:25,831
I will wait for her to write to me
and I will recognize his hand.
92
00:07:25,856 --> 00:07:27,246
This goes without saying.
93
00:07:31,019 --> 00:07:33,256
Father Collins will read it to me.
94
00:08:07,558 --> 00:08:10,998
When Susannah is married,
there will be a spare bed.
95
00:08:11,019 --> 00:08:14,938
We wondered if Catherine,
Lucy's sister, could take it.
96
00:08:14,939 --> 00:08:18,916
Before boring Master Robert
or someone else, we thought
97
00:08:19,397 --> 00:08:22,669
that you would be nice enough
to investigate it.
98
00:08:22,704 --> 00:08:24,899
Ask how she is?
99
00:08:33,407 --> 00:08:35,814
Do you remember
of Lucy's sister?
100
00:08:37,264 --> 00:08:39,848
Would you come to know
how is she doing?
101
00:08:39,849 --> 00:08:42,032
The girls asked me
to inquire about it.
102
00:08:42,055 --> 00:08:45,218
Will you know if she is now
fit for work?
103
00:08:45,769 --> 00:08:47,826
I'll see what I can do.
104
00:08:59,166 --> 00:09:01,509
Come sit next to me.
105
00:09:13,945 --> 00:09:17,955
I was given the order to
take your sister back to the hospice.
106
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,008
On the way I talked to him
over my shoulder.
107
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,391
I tried to give him courage.
108
00:09:29,392 --> 00:09:33,391
She jumped out of the cart
and ran away into the woods.
109
00:09:35,964 --> 00:09:38,559
I searched, I shouted his name.
110
00:09:39,819 --> 00:09:43,826
She must have preferred to try her luck
than return to the hospice.
111
00:09:46,820 --> 00:09:49,508
I learned
that she had been found dead.
112
00:09:49,509 --> 00:09:52,719
In a field
about 10 miles from here.
113
00:09:52,728 --> 00:09:55,113
I am terribly sorry.
114
00:09:57,779 --> 00:10:01,387
These things are always
difficult to accept.
115
00:10:01,388 --> 00:10:05,386
Mrs. Greg must get used to the idea
that she will soon lose her husband.
116
00:10:09,961 --> 00:10:13,515
No need to come
increase his sadness.
117
00:10:13,546 --> 00:10:16,137
Let's not charge it
the weight of ours.
118
00:10:16,145 --> 00:10:18,272
Do you understand?
119
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:40,925
We'll get it, don't worry.
120
00:10:41,997 --> 00:10:45,380
We'll get it.
Either way.
121
00:11:04,144 --> 00:11:06,123
Did you manage to sleep?
122
00:11:07,330 --> 00:11:11,328
They say it becomes
easier with time.
123
00:11:24,364 --> 00:11:27,340
Did she tell you about her sister?
124
00:11:28,532 --> 00:11:32,523
Thank you for taking the trouble
to find, Mr. T.
125
00:11:32,749 --> 00:11:34,643
At least she knows now.
126
00:12:05,047 --> 00:12:09,037
I am really very happy,
for you and Daniel.
127
00:12:10,224 --> 00:12:12,424
Robert will take care of you.
128
00:12:13,316 --> 00:12:15,839
You can be sure of that.
129
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,196
Yes, Master.
130
00:12:17,215 --> 00:12:21,092
And I am convinced that
your child will grow up to be...
131
00:12:21,093 --> 00:12:22,328
an example...
132
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:25,539
for each of us.
133
00:12:52,078 --> 00:12:54,524
Catherine Garner,
she arrived with Lucy.
134
00:12:54,531 --> 00:12:57,441
She was sick,
but you wanted to keep it.
135
00:12:57,442 --> 00:12:59,239
Master Robert refused.
136
00:12:59,252 --> 00:13:00,828
Go back there!
137
00:13:01,302 --> 00:13:03,248
- Sorry for...
- Leave us!
138
00:13:05,485 --> 00:13:09,251
At Greg et Fils, we always have
been very proud of the compassion
139
00:13:09,252 --> 00:13:13,247
and Christian treatment offered
to the children in our care.
140
00:13:17,645 --> 00:13:19,757
And is this Christian?
141
00:13:21,132 --> 00:13:25,129
Your son made Lucy
to do this to me as punishment.
142
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,356
And all this time,
his sister was rotting in a field.
143
00:13:29,476 --> 00:13:31,111
Robert did this?
144
00:13:36,879 --> 00:13:39,079
I beg you, Master...
145
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,737
Bring Mr. Timperley to justice.
146
00:13:46,504 --> 00:13:48,101
I'll take care of it.
147
00:13:49,226 --> 00:13:50,772
You have my word.
148
00:13:56,315 --> 00:13:57,907
Good news?
149
00:13:57,922 --> 00:14:00,242
We won't talk anymore
ten hours a day.
150
00:14:00,243 --> 00:14:02,312
Under 18s will do 12 hours.
151
00:14:04,863 --> 00:14:06,729
Robert is back from London!
152
00:14:12,727 --> 00:14:17,030
And every child must have
a certificate proving your age
153
00:14:17,069 --> 00:14:20,162
as well as two hours of school per day.
154
00:14:20,518 --> 00:14:23,707
But no prison for the employer
not respecting the rules.
155
00:14:23,724 --> 00:14:27,520
Four inspectors to enforce them,
four, for the whole country.
156
00:14:27,521 --> 00:14:28,706
Almost nothing.
157
00:14:28,826 --> 00:14:30,088
And abolition?
158
00:14:31,509 --> 00:14:33,717
August 1st, next year.
159
00:14:33,730 --> 00:14:36,149
Will you be able to wait?
160
00:14:37,575 --> 00:14:39,660
How will this work?
161
00:14:39,661 --> 00:14:42,111
In stages, over more than seven years.
162
00:14:42,137 --> 00:14:45,381
They will no longer be slaves
and will become apprentices.
163
00:14:45,382 --> 00:14:49,254
There will be a compensation fund
of £20 million.
164
00:14:49,282 --> 00:14:50,880
Where did he go?
165
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,407
He would do better
not to get involved yet.
166
00:15:44,289 --> 00:15:46,619
Look at him.
He knows it's over.
167
00:15:47,492 --> 00:15:51,491
Your tea is in the classroom.
Don't blame me if it's cold.
168
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:54,076
Is something wrong, Mr. T?
169
00:15:54,858 --> 00:15:57,777
Master Samuel died
this afternoon.
170
00:16:03,893 --> 00:16:06,552
I'm sorry.
I tried.
171
00:16:11,821 --> 00:16:14,333
Everything I do changes nothing.
172
00:16:19,086 --> 00:16:21,275
You got rid of Charlie Crout.
173
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,283
I opposed the judges.
And I was convicted.
174
00:16:27,135 --> 00:16:29,606
And I ran away to Liverpool.
175
00:16:29,607 --> 00:16:33,608
I wasted my time
in useless searches.
176
00:16:34,875 --> 00:16:36,470
I am nobody.
177
00:16:39,635 --> 00:16:41,533
You're not a person.
178
00:16:42,731 --> 00:16:44,452
And neither does Catherine.
179
00:16:44,453 --> 00:16:48,444
You didn't waste your time
when you were Liverpool.
180
00:16:50,647 --> 00:16:53,972
My sister was here!
Why did you stop me from seeing her?
181
00:16:53,973 --> 00:16:56,569
You will see her
when you have finished your punishment.
182
00:16:56,570 --> 00:16:59,490
And when will it be?
When will this have grown back?
183
00:16:59,526 --> 00:17:01,803
Or is there something else
what are you hiding from me?
184
00:17:01,810 --> 00:17:03,940
What do you mean?
185
00:17:05,994 --> 00:17:07,093
I know.
186
00:17:09,296 --> 00:17:11,143
I know what you are.
187
00:17:11,862 --> 00:17:13,430
A big liar.
188
00:17:14,701 --> 00:17:16,558
20 hours for insolence!
189
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:18,602
You'll end up never seeing her.
190
00:17:18,603 --> 00:17:20,316
We're leaving, Esther.
191
00:17:20,318 --> 00:17:22,122
Where is his letter to me?
192
00:17:22,123 --> 00:17:24,478
What letter?
She cannot read or write.
193
00:17:24,483 --> 00:17:26,442
She didn't have your chance.
194
00:17:26,443 --> 00:17:29,008
She must be somewhere.
195
00:17:29,009 --> 00:17:31,519
She must be here somewhere.
196
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,261
She saw my message
and she came to get me.
197
00:17:35,276 --> 00:17:37,960
And you were wrong about me.
198
00:17:38,679 --> 00:17:41,319
Because everything I've been through,
199
00:17:41,322 --> 00:17:43,229
it was worth it.
200
00:17:57,181 --> 00:18:01,175
Are you aware?
We lost the Ten-Hour Law.
201
00:18:01,999 --> 00:18:04,544
Trust parliament
was wrong.
202
00:18:04,690 --> 00:18:08,482
We must take power,
organize themselves industrially,
203
00:18:09,134 --> 00:18:12,513
every militant mine and spinning mill
for reduced hours.
204
00:18:12,536 --> 00:18:15,729
Demonstrations, strikes,
all means will be good.
205
00:18:15,730 --> 00:18:17,863
Society must be changed.
206
00:18:17,864 --> 00:18:21,182
I'm counting on you, here,
to organize a meeting on Sunday.
207
00:18:21,188 --> 00:18:23,435
Sunday is my wedding day.
208
00:18:23,457 --> 00:18:25,974
The girl with whom
were you in Wibsey?
209
00:18:27,347 --> 00:18:28,740
What time?
210
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:30,060
Precise noon.
211
00:18:30,061 --> 00:18:31,939
The meeting will take place at 3 a.m.
212
00:18:31,949 --> 00:18:34,303
I must be in Stockport
at 8 a.m.
213
00:18:34,324 --> 00:18:36,291
Will Susannah refuse?
214
00:18:36,292 --> 00:18:38,282
You will have the whole evening.
215
00:18:38,283 --> 00:18:40,274
In your opinion, is it too late?
216
00:18:40,295 --> 00:18:42,502
It's just a losing battle.
217
00:18:42,503 --> 00:18:45,358
Despite Robert Greg's jubilation
at Westminster,
218
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,800
- nothing is finished.
- Everyone signed the document.
219
00:18:47,801 --> 00:18:49,493
All the more reason
for a meeting.
220
00:18:49,613 --> 00:18:52,093
They will not risk their jobs!
221
00:18:52,094 --> 00:18:53,470
Not now.
222
00:18:54,096 --> 00:18:57,070
Not after we ignored
the 100,000 present at Wibsey.
223
00:18:59,048 --> 00:19:00,411
Did you sign?
224
00:19:05,941 --> 00:19:07,892
Monday I will be the breadwinner.
225
00:19:07,902 --> 00:19:09,102
Like all of us.
226
00:19:09,132 --> 00:19:12,162
We don't all have men
who contribute to pay our wages.
227
00:19:12,176 --> 00:19:14,530
Your father
would turn in his grave.
228
00:19:14,531 --> 00:19:15,681
Get out of here!
229
00:19:15,686 --> 00:19:19,679
Everything is fine Pat.
We're just talking.
230
00:19:27,711 --> 00:19:31,706
This should interest you.
We had visitors.
231
00:19:32,062 --> 00:19:36,056
A woman from Liverpool
who had a lot to tell us.
232
00:19:42,026 --> 00:19:45,180
"A testimony has reached us,
whose content
233
00:19:45,211 --> 00:19:49,212
“mortified and sickened us.
It seems that a young apprentice
234
00:19:50,517 --> 00:19:54,519
"which it is preferable to preserve
anonymity for the moment..."
235
00:19:54,818 --> 00:19:58,807
"And we invite the unfortunate
having suffered such..."
236
00:19:58,848 --> 00:20:00,018
Medieval.
237
00:20:00,521 --> 00:20:04,516
"medieval punishments
to contact us. Subsequently
238
00:20:05,048 --> 00:20:09,045
"we would like to publish
the smallest details of his ordeal
239
00:20:09,364 --> 00:20:13,357
"and help him find
the rest of his family."
240
00:20:13,399 --> 00:20:17,405
It's me. It's about me
and what they did to me.
241
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,888
Did you tell him?
242
00:20:20,889 --> 00:20:22,541
Your sister did it.
243
00:20:27,291 --> 00:20:28,857
She didn't give up.
244
00:20:28,858 --> 00:20:31,070
How could she have known?
245
00:20:32,310 --> 00:20:34,095
Tommy told him.
246
00:20:34,110 --> 00:20:36,780
Mrs. Greg won't be happy.
Let's go.
247
00:20:38,656 --> 00:20:41,065
It's anonymous, a reported statement.
248
00:20:41,066 --> 00:20:44,803
Doherty needs to speak to you in person
before being able to publish.
249
00:20:44,808 --> 00:20:48,807
If you let him mention your name,
it will be irreversible.
250
00:20:52,035 --> 00:20:53,196
I don't care.
251
00:20:54,762 --> 00:20:58,411
He organizes a meeting
in the Horseshoe, Sunday, at 3 o'clock.
252
00:20:58,442 --> 00:20:59,460
We'll be there.
253
00:21:24,086 --> 00:21:25,898
You lied to me, Thomas.
254
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:28,809
And you disobeyed me.
255
00:21:30,990 --> 00:21:33,147
The day my husband died.
256
00:21:34,216 --> 00:21:38,211
You didn't keep your word and
told Esther about her sister's visit.
257
00:21:38,255 --> 00:21:40,627
After everything I've done for you.
258
00:21:43,879 --> 00:21:46,037
What do you have to say in your defense?
259
00:21:52,845 --> 00:21:56,837
When Mary Prince said her sisters
couldn't see her, you cried.
260
00:22:01,579 --> 00:22:03,721
You are really very ungrateful.
261
00:22:06,278 --> 00:22:10,287
I now realize how much
I was wrong about you.
262
00:22:11,973 --> 00:22:13,051
Take him away.
263
00:22:13,171 --> 00:22:16,803
The man, the man at the meeting, that of
the Ten-Hour Law, he was right!
264
00:22:16,816 --> 00:22:17,849
Let him come out.
265
00:22:17,850 --> 00:22:20,722
Become an apprentice
will not free your slaves!
266
00:22:20,723 --> 00:22:23,954
Being an apprentice with us is
the best you could hope for.
267
00:22:23,956 --> 00:22:25,398
Not anymore!
268
00:22:30,069 --> 00:22:31,712
- Come here.
- Leave me!
269
00:22:36,107 --> 00:22:38,221
This belongs to Master Robert!
270
00:22:38,250 --> 00:22:41,034
It's mine.
He gave it to me!
271
00:22:41,848 --> 00:22:45,844
- Stay calm, you...
- Leave me! It's mine!
272
00:23:06,349 --> 00:23:08,134
My sincere condolences.
273
00:23:09,933 --> 00:23:12,062
The funeral will take place on Monday.
274
00:23:12,891 --> 00:23:14,911
Work will stop
for the afternoon.
275
00:23:14,912 --> 00:23:17,483
My father is going to turn in his grave.
276
00:23:24,098 --> 00:23:25,649
A wedding gift.
277
00:23:26,233 --> 00:23:29,154
Your part of the patent
for the loom.
278
00:23:34,797 --> 00:23:38,027
You are a proud person,
with common sense.
279
00:23:39,677 --> 00:23:42,164
I want to prosper
what my father created.
280
00:23:42,165 --> 00:23:44,351
Together, we can get there.
281
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:46,446
Take it. You deserve it.
282
00:23:48,084 --> 00:23:51,424
You have a family now.
For Susannah.
283
00:24:06,642 --> 00:24:08,154
All my best wishes.
284
00:24:30,361 --> 00:24:32,704
It's going to be about funerals.
285
00:24:32,721 --> 00:24:35,245
Don't clap
if he announces a day off.
286
00:24:35,246 --> 00:24:37,590
Look sad and don't say a word.
287
00:24:40,334 --> 00:24:41,804
Have you seen Tommy?
288
00:24:42,411 --> 00:24:44,268
He must be in the big house.
289
00:24:44,276 --> 00:24:47,439
All other servants
are there, why not him?
290
00:24:47,461 --> 00:24:51,030
You must all now
knowing that my father died.
291
00:24:51,031 --> 00:24:53,723
And I'm sure
that you pray for him.
292
00:24:55,104 --> 00:24:58,299
But even before we let
rest Master Samuel,
293
00:24:58,300 --> 00:25:01,339
it seems that John Doherty
come and disturb
294
00:25:01,340 --> 00:25:03,757
peace for our grieving community.
295
00:25:03,765 --> 00:25:06,623
He has already caused
walkouts in Stockport.
296
00:25:08,701 --> 00:25:10,790
So I'm going to be very clear!
297
00:25:12,822 --> 00:25:15,695
Any man participating
at tomorrow's meeting
298
00:25:16,345 --> 00:25:20,317
violates the provisions of the document
and will be fired.
299
00:25:21,203 --> 00:25:25,201
Only one person benefits
John Doherty's shenanigans,
300
00:25:25,661 --> 00:25:29,661
its strikes, its newspapers, and it is about
by John Doherty himself!
301
00:25:30,149 --> 00:25:31,996
How does he benefit from it?
302
00:25:34,548 --> 00:25:36,270
Ask Daniel Bate.
303
00:25:39,301 --> 00:25:41,463
He knows him better than anyone.
304
00:25:43,848 --> 00:25:47,843
What were Doherty's wages?
as union secretary?
305
00:25:49,019 --> 00:25:49,975
Tell them!
306
00:25:51,276 --> 00:25:53,397
One pound and 13 shillings.
307
00:25:53,408 --> 00:25:57,410
And how much does he get paid for
make your propaganda rag?
308
00:26:00,687 --> 00:26:02,406
Three books a week.
309
00:26:02,407 --> 00:26:04,206
Three books a week.
310
00:26:05,601 --> 00:26:09,045
The advocate of the poor
is far from poor!
311
00:26:09,062 --> 00:26:13,057
Its only interest is to promote
the discomfort to achieve its ends.
312
00:26:14,950 --> 00:26:16,625
Am I not right?
313
00:26:25,609 --> 00:26:27,083
I hate the man.
314
00:26:30,986 --> 00:26:33,250
But I like what he stands for!
315
00:26:35,092 --> 00:26:37,647
There are better solutions.
316
00:26:39,449 --> 00:26:42,655
You can't stop a man
to listen to another.
317
00:26:42,656 --> 00:26:46,654
Not on a Sunday.
We are free on Sunday!
318
00:26:47,756 --> 00:26:49,769
I will go to his meeting.
319
00:26:52,709 --> 00:26:54,561
You should all do it.
320
00:27:09,632 --> 00:27:11,621
Count on me to be there!
321
00:27:12,115 --> 00:27:16,108
And every man I see there
will be forced to leave the village.
322
00:27:18,441 --> 00:27:22,442
He will have to find work and accommodation
elsewhere. You have been warned!
323
00:27:23,848 --> 00:27:27,841
Wait ! What have you done
with Tommy? Where is he?
324
00:27:55,392 --> 00:27:57,792
What was in the envelope?
325
00:27:57,801 --> 00:27:59,578
He tried to buy me.
326
00:28:01,243 --> 00:28:03,082
I will have work in Manchester.
327
00:28:03,098 --> 00:28:04,938
Daniel, you are blacklisted!
328
00:28:04,942 --> 00:28:06,461
I will go further then.
329
00:28:06,462 --> 00:28:09,401
You want me to come with you,
that I leave George and Miriam?
330
00:28:09,402 --> 00:28:11,104
They can manage.
331
00:28:11,129 --> 00:28:13,175
You are not their mother!
332
00:28:13,176 --> 00:28:15,097
It's this baby
that you must think.
333
00:28:15,098 --> 00:28:17,041
Like you just now?
334
00:28:17,052 --> 00:28:21,050
Because our children deserve
much better than all that!
335
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,108
How many were there in
this envelope, Daniel?
336
00:28:30,085 --> 00:28:31,543
What does it matter?
337
00:28:39,099 --> 00:28:40,586
How many were there?
338
00:28:45,090 --> 00:28:47,513
A lot.
I'm sorry.
339
00:28:51,742 --> 00:28:54,373
He advised me to take it
for you.
340
00:28:57,115 --> 00:29:00,880
If you wish to cancel the marriage,
I won't blame you.
341
00:29:00,902 --> 00:29:03,275
But I have to go to this meeting.
342
00:29:09,687 --> 00:29:12,131
He bought my silence, too.
343
00:29:17,357 --> 00:29:20,045
I was too scared
to stand up to him.
344
00:29:20,846 --> 00:29:21,895
The baby.
345
00:29:24,126 --> 00:29:26,036
The baby is her brother, William.
346
00:29:28,079 --> 00:29:29,343
No, that's not true.
347
00:29:32,703 --> 00:29:34,350
This baby is ours.
348
00:29:36,065 --> 00:29:38,230
Just like the future could be.
349
00:29:47,685 --> 00:29:51,681
Daniel, would you like to take
this woman for legitimate wife,
350
00:29:53,279 --> 00:29:57,110
and live with her according to
God's ordinance
351
00:29:57,135 --> 00:29:59,575
in the holy state of marriage?
352
00:29:59,576 --> 00:30:01,311
Yes, I want it.
353
00:30:01,697 --> 00:30:05,700
Susannah, would you like to take
this man for legitimate husband?
354
00:30:08,345 --> 00:30:09,833
Yes, I want it.
355
00:30:23,273 --> 00:30:25,630
Did he tell you what I gave him?
356
00:30:26,624 --> 00:30:30,386
A dowry or money
to relieve your guilt?
357
00:30:30,387 --> 00:30:32,337
The offer was sincere.
358
00:30:32,379 --> 00:30:36,369
Your skills, my capital,
we can do great things.
359
00:30:37,545 --> 00:30:40,105
Only science
will make the world a better place,
360
00:30:40,106 --> 00:30:42,433
not dreamers like John Doherty.
361
00:30:51,961 --> 00:30:53,772
But it's not Wibsey?
362
00:30:55,875 --> 00:30:57,312
Thanks for coming.
363
00:31:00,049 --> 00:31:01,498
All my congratulations.
364
00:31:01,499 --> 00:31:03,991
You are welcome. Enter
and sit down.
365
00:31:11,847 --> 00:31:15,135
It's closed. They locked us up!
366
00:31:17,090 --> 00:31:18,502
They did it.
367
00:31:18,863 --> 00:31:22,344
I should have been celebrating
my sister's wedding.
368
00:31:22,345 --> 00:31:23,815
And you too!
369
00:31:25,201 --> 00:31:29,185
Master Robert was afraid that I would say
to Doherty what he had done to me.
370
00:31:32,336 --> 00:31:35,781
Contracts are the only documents
that we signed.
371
00:31:35,782 --> 00:31:38,029
Nothing says lock us up
on Sundays.
372
00:31:38,049 --> 00:31:39,571
She's right!
373
00:31:39,572 --> 00:31:41,689
- It's not fair!
- Shall we let it happen?
374
00:31:41,690 --> 00:31:43,367
Do we let ourselves do this?
375
00:31:43,381 --> 00:31:45,317
Come on, let's get out of here!
376
00:32:03,899 --> 00:32:05,575
Where do you think you're going?!
377
00:32:05,576 --> 00:32:07,247
Horseshoe. No luck.
378
00:32:07,264 --> 00:32:10,342
Come back straight away!
All of them!
379
00:32:10,343 --> 00:32:13,406
I will break you all,
each in turn!
380
00:32:32,741 --> 00:32:36,745
Lucy's sister is dead.
And the apprentices accuse us.
381
00:32:36,798 --> 00:32:38,725
Why do they accuse us?
382
00:32:38,743 --> 00:32:41,820
She escaped
while I was taking him to Liverpool.
383
00:32:41,821 --> 00:32:43,807
I couldn't stop him.
384
00:32:43,811 --> 00:32:46,492
And it was she who was found dead
in this field.
385
00:32:46,493 --> 00:32:50,480
In Siddington?
Why didn't you inform us?
386
00:32:50,749 --> 00:32:54,755
I felt sorry for her.
I thought she would survive!
387
00:32:55,905 --> 00:32:58,395
Siddington is
the opposite of Liverpool.
388
00:32:59,470 --> 00:33:02,658
She probably got lost
before collapsing.
389
00:33:03,646 --> 00:33:07,649
And you probably kept
the apprenticeship tax for you.
390
00:33:07,853 --> 00:33:09,331
I'll pay her back.
391
00:33:10,173 --> 00:33:12,368
This child was in our care!
392
00:33:12,383 --> 00:33:15,019
No, Miss, it's a gang
lynchers!
393
00:33:20,283 --> 00:33:21,840
I know everything. Esther!
394
00:33:31,942 --> 00:33:34,693
He came out from behind!
Let's go, quickly!
395
00:34:03,935 --> 00:34:06,972
Shit ! He's definitely somewhere!
396
00:34:10,793 --> 00:34:13,217
Here it is! He's in the wheelhouse!
397
00:34:15,491 --> 00:34:17,625
Get out of there, you coward!
398
00:34:18,003 --> 00:34:21,187
It closed!
It closed from the inside!
399
00:34:25,540 --> 00:34:28,215
Move away from the door.
Come on, step back.
400
00:34:29,895 --> 00:34:32,934
Stay away!
We have it now!
401
00:34:33,381 --> 00:34:36,326
I didn't kill her!
I let her go!
402
00:34:36,630 --> 00:34:38,513
I sent for the judge.
403
00:34:38,775 --> 00:34:40,938
Let the law take its course.
404
00:34:41,216 --> 00:34:42,935
Wait for justice?
405
00:34:42,936 --> 00:34:45,558
Without it, we are not
than barbarians.
406
00:34:45,572 --> 00:34:46,790
And with her?
407
00:34:47,416 --> 00:34:51,127
I have nothing to reproach myself for, Esther.
And you can trust me.
408
00:34:51,142 --> 00:34:52,531
I promise you.
409
00:34:54,099 --> 00:34:55,316
Where is Tommy?
410
00:34:57,531 --> 00:34:59,373
He trusted you.
411
00:35:00,186 --> 00:35:02,787
He thought you were
on our side.
412
00:35:03,537 --> 00:35:06,948
You didn't take it
in your house to take care of it
413
00:35:06,979 --> 00:35:08,619
but to hide it.
414
00:35:08,620 --> 00:35:11,185
I took care of it
and we saved his life.
415
00:35:11,191 --> 00:35:13,249
Like you hid my sister?
416
00:35:16,704 --> 00:35:20,102
John Doherty was not wrong.
You are a hypocrite.
417
00:35:22,847 --> 00:35:25,802
I freed you from this room, Esther.
418
00:35:25,818 --> 00:35:28,248
And if I hadn't taught you
to read and write,
419
00:35:28,259 --> 00:35:30,593
your sister would never have found you.
420
00:35:37,850 --> 00:35:41,841
Someone stay with Timperley.
There's no way he's going to escape.
421
00:35:42,764 --> 00:35:45,222
The others,
on the way to the Horseshoe.
422
00:35:51,635 --> 00:35:55,641
This meeting, like many others,
aims to create a new organization.
423
00:35:56,423 --> 00:35:59,106
The National Regeneration Society.
424
00:35:59,107 --> 00:36:01,472
And here is what we offer.
425
00:36:01,473 --> 00:36:03,659
On the specific date
where the new factory act
426
00:36:03,679 --> 00:36:06,674
will come into force,
March 1st next year,
427
00:36:06,693 --> 00:36:09,600
every operational factory in the country
428
00:36:10,543 --> 00:36:14,371
will have to work eight hours
and only eight hours.
429
00:36:14,372 --> 00:36:16,295
Then the workers will withdraw.
430
00:36:16,301 --> 00:36:19,703
They will not ask for permission
of parliament nor the benevolence
431
00:36:19,704 --> 00:36:23,269
of their masters.
After eight hours of work,
432
00:36:23,286 --> 00:36:27,295
they will just go home
reunite with their families.
433
00:36:29,637 --> 00:36:33,629
By being united,
the old system completely outdated
434
00:36:33,630 --> 00:36:37,636
imposing work above
of their strength for meager wages,
435
00:36:38,759 --> 00:36:40,241
this system will cease to be.
436
00:36:40,260 --> 00:36:41,705
If you are united.
437
00:36:49,855 --> 00:36:53,076
- So what is it?
- Your apprentices, quite simply.
438
00:36:53,083 --> 00:36:54,802
Not one more step!
439
00:36:54,803 --> 00:36:56,729
Are we falsifying your ages?
440
00:36:56,730 --> 00:36:58,843
to have years
free work?
441
00:36:58,844 --> 00:37:01,873
This is false! Bring them back
at the apprentice house!
442
00:37:05,309 --> 00:37:06,672
I am your sister.
443
00:37:09,432 --> 00:37:12,453
Esther,
the cruelest sanctions...
444
00:37:36,409 --> 00:37:38,712
Isn't this what you were looking for?
445
00:37:44,358 --> 00:37:46,755
I knew right away it was you.
446
00:37:47,923 --> 00:37:50,391
- You look like Mom.
- It's true ?
447
00:37:54,327 --> 00:37:56,699
She died giving birth to you.
448
00:37:59,350 --> 00:38:01,204
Dad suffered a lot.
449
00:38:02,722 --> 00:38:05,493
He no longer had control of himself,
started drinking.
450
00:38:07,077 --> 00:38:11,077
When you had to go to the hospice
poor people, it broke his heart.
451
00:38:17,633 --> 00:38:19,913
I didn't think I would see that again one day.
452
00:38:24,873 --> 00:38:26,883
I doubted myself so much...
453
00:38:30,664 --> 00:38:31,915
and there he is...
454
00:38:33,459 --> 00:38:34,540
and you are there.
455
00:38:38,738 --> 00:38:40,822
On March 8,
March 8, 1816.
456
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,238
I'm 17 years old.
457
00:38:43,916 --> 00:38:45,263
We have always celebrated it.
458
00:38:45,264 --> 00:38:46,495
Every year.
459
00:38:49,192 --> 00:38:50,228
March 8.
460
00:38:53,741 --> 00:38:55,315
What's funny?
461
00:38:55,807 --> 00:38:58,651
This is the new law,
it begins in March.
462
00:38:59,684 --> 00:39:02,851
For a week I can't
work only 12 hours a day,
463
00:39:02,855 --> 00:39:06,660
then i will be 18
and they will do what they want.
464
00:39:06,661 --> 00:39:08,169
I should have kept quiet.
465
00:39:12,375 --> 00:39:15,896
Sorry but Doherty
had to go to another meeting.
466
00:39:15,897 --> 00:39:18,742
Tell him to wait,
I'm talking with my sister.
467
00:39:26,659 --> 00:39:30,660
If you allow this man to quote
your name, it could ruin us.
468
00:39:31,134 --> 00:39:32,775
It might bother you,
469
00:39:32,776 --> 00:39:35,290
let your proof be ridiculed
during the commission.
470
00:39:35,291 --> 00:39:37,653
The matter rests
on his reputation.
471
00:39:37,654 --> 00:39:40,525
If you destroy this,
you won't only reach me.
472
00:39:41,813 --> 00:39:44,370
You will never work again
in cotton.
473
00:39:44,371 --> 00:39:46,194
She can live with her family.
474
00:39:46,195 --> 00:39:49,032
You have the means
to feed another mouth?
475
00:39:49,053 --> 00:39:51,163
To find him a job?
476
00:39:51,164 --> 00:39:55,152
To get her off the street and
from the hospice? Can you?
477
00:39:58,513 --> 00:40:00,387
Esther, stay here.
478
00:40:00,874 --> 00:40:02,830
I will cancel all your fines.
479
00:40:03,135 --> 00:40:06,022
It's a wonderful place to live.
480
00:40:06,023 --> 00:40:07,874
You can have a family here.
481
00:40:07,890 --> 00:40:09,559
Live a good life.
482
00:40:16,414 --> 00:40:19,406
And what about him?
From Susannah?
483
00:40:19,407 --> 00:40:22,259
Can they really
start a family here?
484
00:40:27,764 --> 00:40:29,455
If you don't say anything, yes!
485
00:40:30,644 --> 00:40:32,744
Even though I signed the document
486
00:40:33,648 --> 00:40:37,647
and I plan to become a member
of Doherty's new company?
487
00:40:40,566 --> 00:40:43,562
If that's what it takes
to reach an agreement.
488
00:40:47,288 --> 00:40:51,283
I can take care of you much better
that John Doherty could.
489
00:41:08,965 --> 00:41:11,191
I want to tell my story.
490
00:41:15,093 --> 00:41:17,662
I want people
know who I am.
491
00:41:19,657 --> 00:41:21,983
If tomorrow you go to the yard
492
00:41:22,686 --> 00:41:24,598
to burn these documents...
493
00:41:26,334 --> 00:41:30,319
I will refrain from speaking
some things today.
494
00:41:40,835 --> 00:41:42,077
Are you ready?
495
00:41:59,378 --> 00:42:01,291
My name is Esther Price...
496
00:42:03,390 --> 00:42:07,389
I was born in Liverpool
March 8, 1816.
497
00:42:08,274 --> 00:42:09,414
I'm 17 years old.
498
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,806
My mother's name was Maria
and she was a seamstress,
499
00:42:15,528 --> 00:42:19,537
my father's name was Tommy,
he was a sail maker.
500
00:42:21,564 --> 00:42:24,616
I have an older sister
whose name is Martha and...
501
00:42:28,831 --> 00:42:31,127
I needed to know all this...
502
00:42:32,838 --> 00:42:34,567
I had to know.
503
00:42:49,894 --> 00:42:52,960
- There's no one in there.
- It's impossible.
504
00:43:24,590 --> 00:43:25,732
My father...
505
00:43:27,956 --> 00:43:30,682
believed in trust
and mutual respect
506
00:43:30,683 --> 00:43:33,605
between workers and masters.
507
00:43:34,569 --> 00:43:37,240
What is good for one,
is good for the other.
508
00:43:40,184 --> 00:43:44,194
To pay tribute to his memory,
on the day of his funeral...
509
00:43:45,371 --> 00:43:47,829
I decided to burn
the documents...
510
00:43:48,614 --> 00:43:50,922
that I asked you to sign.
511
00:44:38,562 --> 00:44:40,385
"Heaven will smile upon us,
512
00:44:41,013 --> 00:44:43,214
"Posterity will applaud us...
513
00:44:44,422 --> 00:44:48,384
"and when the time has come for us
to leave this valley of tears,
514
00:44:50,672 --> 00:44:53,332
"to present ourselves before our judges...
515
00:44:53,812 --> 00:44:56,339
"we will remember
battles fought
516
00:44:56,340 --> 00:44:58,577
"in the name of justice...
517
00:44:58,868 --> 00:45:00,235
"peace...
518
00:45:00,992 --> 00:45:02,273
"and kindness.
519
00:45:05,137 --> 00:45:08,249
"Our last moments will be encouraged
520
00:45:08,258 --> 00:45:12,249
"by the idea of having participated
to the eradication of vice,
521
00:45:12,706 --> 00:45:16,716
"from injustice and oppression
from the surface of the earth...
522
00:45:19,769 --> 00:45:21,974
"and we will return to our graves
523
00:45:21,975 --> 00:45:24,122
"with peace and satisfaction
524
00:45:24,132 --> 00:45:28,141
"to know that we have bequeathed
a brighter and happier inheritance
525
00:45:28,294 --> 00:45:29,481
"to our children
526
00:45:30,738 --> 00:45:34,722
"than the one who was destined for us
on the day we were born."
