All language subtitles for The Hardacres Season 1 Episode 1_848x480

You don't get paid
for standing around, Joe.

Hop to it.

All right, Dad. Keep your hair on.
Yeah, hop to it, Joe.

Yeah, yeah.

Here he comes -
the finest Irishman in Yorkshire.

If you ever get bored,
you can send him my way.

Don't let him hear you say that.
He thinks he's God's gift as it is!

For you, m'lady.

Who needs diamonds, eh?

Sam, one of the smokers is out.
There's something up with the crane.

That could be me and your Joe
one day.

There are better things
to do in life

than marriage and fellas, you know.

Ah, I used to say that
till I met your dad.

Look where that got you.
Mm.

Crane's blocking again.
What's this? A mother's meeting?

We have a problem, Mr Shaw.

That looks fine to me.

Now, that crane's a danger to use
in its current state.

And how do you intend
to load my fish without it?

By hand.
It'll take too long.

The Lady Jane's just docked.
I want the catch bringing in.

Aye, it'll take longer, but that's
the way it's gonna be done.

All right? Load it by hand, lads.
I'll see to the Lady Jane.

Grafting for yourself,
that's the only way to live.

You would've loved
the smuggling life, Liza.

Mm, here we go.

Out on the boat on a beautiful
night. Hiding from the excise.

Living on your wits.
Getting thrown in jail.

Those were the glory days.
Not how I remember 'em.

WOMAN: Another boat coming through!
MARY WHISTLES

Here he comes.

Ladies. Looking lovely as ever.

MAN: Help me get this lot off.

AS SHAW:
"Looking lovely as ever, ladies."

Shame we can't say
the same about you, Mr Shaw.

"Oh, come on! One little kiss."

CHUCKLING
Get off.

CLANGING

Oi! I said that wasn't to be used!

Shaw said if we didn't,
we were out of a job.

CLANGING

Albie!

SHOUTING

BELL RINGS
MAN: Man down!

Move, move, move! Joe?

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

I'm all right.
HE PANTS

HE GROANS
WEAKLY: I'm all right. I'm fine.

Somebody get some help.
Somebody get some help!

Liza, go! Now!

WHISPERS: It's fine. It's fine.

HE GROANS,
BREATHES HEAVILY

SAM WINCES

Isn't there something
you can give him for the pain?

I've laudanum at two shillings.

Why don't you hold a gun
to our heads and be done with it?

I suspect there's nerve damage,
possibly a severed tendon.

It's nasty.

Will he lose the hand?
Not with any luck, no.

We're not paying you for luck.
When can I go back to work, Doctor?

You may keep the hand, Mr Hardacre.

Whether you're able to use it again
is another matter.

Right, if you'd like to follow me.

WHISPERS: Thank you.

I know he doesn't want to hear this,

but I've seen injuries
like this before.

It'll be a long time

before he can use it properly again,
if ever.

It's highly unlikely he'll be able
to return to labouring.

FOOTSTEPS RECEDE,
DOOR OPENS

You're not going soft on me,
are you?

No.
Let the man be, Liza.

He's already been crushed
once today.

I want to stay with my dad.

And they say
I'm the baby of the family.

LIZA CHUCKLES
Come on, you lot.

Everyone out
so your father can get some rest.

Good night, beasts.

Your old dad's gonna be fine.

I know it's bad...

..but it'll mend.

And if it doesn't?

It will.

It has to.

How's Dad?

He's still in a lot of pain,

and he's still pretending otherwise.

But it's his first lie-in in 20-odd
years, so that's summat, innit?

A lie-in won't help his hand.

I'm aware of that, Mother.

KNOCK AT DOOR
MAN: Rent!

SHE SIGHS

SHE SIGHS

My husband's had an accident,
so we had to pay the doctor.

I'm sorry,
but we're gonna need more time.

No credit, no excuses.

Hold on a minute.
How many years have we lived here

and not once have we been late
with the rent, eh?

Don't matter.
Where's your compassion, man?

This is our home,
and I'm not letting you...

I am so sorry, Mr Gibbons.

Gone and done myself an injury,
so I have.

Looks serious.
Ah, it'll mend.

I'll be back earning
in a couple of days.

SHE SCOFFS
You sure about that?

You have my word.
Hm.

I'll be back.

It's feeling a bit better.

We'll be in more bother
for stringing him along.

You should have left me to it.
Ah, the old Mary Hardacre charm.

You nearly had him there
right enough (!)

Ah, I'll let that one go
on the account of your condition.

Right, you lot.
Come on, get a wriggle on. Let's go.

Keep that place straight down there
until I get back.

I'll have to speak to Shaw.

I wish I could help, but me and
Betsy are hand to mouth as it is.

God, Lena, I'd never ask. I know
you'd give it to us if you had it.

MAN: Out of the way! Out!
Oi!

We're walking here! Rich bastards.

The rudeness of some folk.

Must be summat, though, eh?

To have all that money
and not a worry in the world.

Oh, come on now.

You'd swap a life of gutting fish
in my fine company for that?

KNOCK AT DOOR
Come in.

I'm sorry to disturb you.

How's that man of yours?

Yeah, he'll back
as soon as he's right, Mr Shaw.

I was wondering if you could see it
your way to an advance on his wages,

just to tide us over until then?

I'd like to help.

But if I were to dole out charity
to one man...

I'd have to give it to them all...

..and then where would I be?
I do understand.

But in all these years,
he's... he's never been late.

He's not been sick.
Not once has he let you down.

You make a compelling case.

But if I were to do you a favour...

..Mrs Hardacre...

..Mary...
SHE INHALES SHARPLY

..it would only be fair
you do me one in return.

It's an interesting proposition.

All these years working here...

..seeing your face every day...

..I'd be lying if I said
I hadn't thought about you.

Do tell.

I thought...

that if you were
the last man on Earth

and my life depended on it...

I still wouldn't touch you
with a barge pole.

HE GRUNTS

You'll never work
in these docks again! Good!

CHATTER

Mum!

Mum!
Just come on.

What happened?

He said he'd only help us if I
went to bed with him, so I've quit.

Where is he?

He's been dealt with.
And not a word of this to Sam.

He'd kill Shaw, and the last thing
we need is him in jail.

What are you gonna do, though?
I don't know. I'll think of summat.

Well, we're coming with you.

We can't all walk out.

You did hear what that slimy bastard
tried to do?

What are we supposed to live off?

Oh, you don't think defending
our mother's more important?

Someone has to bring money
into the house.

Oh, what,
and you're the big man now, are you?

Get over here with your family.

I'm staying here.
If that's your decision.

HE EXHALES

DOOR OPENS,
HE WINCES

Sam.

What are you doing back?

Well, I sent to see Shaw
about an advance on your wages.

There's no need to go begging, Mary.

I'll be back to work
in a couple of days.

Well, he said no, so I told him
where he could stick his job.

What? How could you
do something so stupid?

Well, what's done is done.

What about you two?
We stand in solidarity.

So you're telling me now
that we are four wages down?

How are we supposed to keep a roof
over our heads? I'll find us work.

I saw in the shop that Thornton Hall
was looking for help.

Oh, come on, Mary. What are you lot
gonna do in Thornton Hall?

Be ladies' maids or something.
Ha!

OK, love,
I know what an arse Shaw can be,

and I can understand
how he might have upset you...

I wasn't upset. But don't you think
you're overreacting?

Like it or not, we need the work.

We'll go to Thornton Hall tomorrow.

You,
make sure you've got a clean dress.

You,
make sure you've got a clean face.

We'll leave first thing!
DOOR SLAMS

TINNY BARKS

I don't even know
what a lady's maid does.

Lady's maid?
MA LAUGHS

We'll be lucky
if they let us clean out the privy.

Why can't they
clean out their own privy?

Because they're bone bloody idle,
that's why.

There's no dignity
in skivvying for the rich.

Oi!
Do you wanna be out on the street?

Now, Liza, just think
what an opportunity this could be.

You get to live
in a beautiful house, travel,

visit all sorts of grand places...

Yeah, well, you might get to wash
the fancy knickers,

but you'll never get to wear them.

Would you look at that.

I think
we'll have to use the back door.

Tinny! Back door!

BELL RINGS

TINNY HOWLS

Whatever you are hawking,
I assure you, we have no need of it.

But I believe
you're looking for help.

And we would like to be considered
for the positions.

Is this a joke?

Er, no. We're hard workers
and fast learners.

What's that smell?

Is that fish? Is that you?

I wouldn't work for this baggage
for love nor money.

We'll do anything.
We'll cook, clean...

Please, we really need the work.

What you and that mongrel need to do

is leave immediately.

Do not come to this house again.

Ooh, she were an uppity cow.

Well, you and that bloody dog
didn't exactly help matters.

What can I say? Tinny knows
a wrong 'un when he sees one.

CHUCKLING
Is that it?

THUMP UNDER TABLE
Ow!

Some of us are still working,
you know.

I've got to keep my strength up.

Maybe there's something we could
sell. Perhaps the pony and cart?

Eh, not a chance!
I'm gonna be needing them.

I've decided to get back into
the old smuggling game.

Absolutely not!
Well, we need the money, don't we?

I've worked for others long enough.
Time to be my own boss again.

You'd never manage it!

You gave up cos you were too old.
You couldn't handle the run.

I'll help her. Oh,
so you wanna end up in jail, do you?

Well, no,

but I don't wanna end up working
for the likes of Shaw

or that baggage
down at Thornton Hall, neither.

I wanna be an independent woman.

Like her grandmother.

CHUCKLING
You need to go and see Shaw.

Maybe Ma's onto something here...

..about us being our own bosses.

What if we went into something
for ourselves?

Like what? All we know is herring.
Exactly.

Exactly! We do know herring.

What if we bought one of those
barrels from the auction house

and set up a fried fish stall?

Have you lost your mind?!

She's finally cracked.
I'm being serious here!

Do you remember
that day we went to the races

and we saw all those food stalls?

HARRY:
And none of them had fried herring.

Yes.
I could work it with you.

You've got school.
A few days off won't hurt.

Right, we're doing this.

Me, Harry, Liza and Ma.
No!

I told you, I'm getting back into
the old game. Yeah, I'm with her.

We already owe the landlord

and you wanna spend money
on a barrel of herring?

You do realise that if we don't
pay the rent, we'll be homeless?

Which is why we've got
to try summat. So go and see Shaw!

And in a few days,
I'll be working again.

You can't even lift the kettle up.

How are you supposed to manage
on the docks?

Well, if you wanna see us out on
the streets because of your pride,

on your head be it!

Oh, my pride? What about yours?

So, how does it work? Do we row out
to the boat for the contraband?

Well, we'll start on deliveries
for Big Jonesy.

I thought you said
we'd be our own bosses?

In time, Liza, girl.

Once I'm re-established
and you've learnt the ropes,

we'll get our own route
up and running.

# Smugglers drink
Of the Frenchman's wine

# And the early morn
Is a smuggler's time

# It's a smuggler's life for me! #

THEY LAUGH

Sold! That was lot 26.

Next, we have lot 27. Fresh herring.
You wait here.

We'll start the proceedings
at two bob. Do I hear two bob?

SHOUTING

Six, six? Do I hear four?
Four. Four.

Four and six. Four and six, sir.
Do I hear five shillings?

Five shillings?
Five! Five.

Lot 27,
sold to the lady at the front.

DISGRUNTLED SHOUTING

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
Right.

SHE GRUNTS

SHE CLEARS THROAT

Right... can you lads
give me a helping hand?

Aye, ma'am.

Right.
MAN GRUNTS

It's great to see you back, Ma,

to have a legend of the trade
making my gin deliveries.

Well, you get what you pay for.

What about an 80-20 split?
SHE LAUGHS

Well, it's me going out on t'boats.

And it's me risking meeting
the excise man on the streets.

70-30?

You've been gone a while,

and I don't know
if lass will be up to it, do I?

SHE SIGHS

SHE SCOFFS

Right.

Let's get this hidden.

Take it easy, Ma!
MA CHUCKLES

You've a fine leg on you, Liza.
LIZA LAUGHS

You ready?

Let's go!
THEY CHUCKLE

WOMAN: Fresh cakes!
Get your fresh cakes over here!

MUFFLED LOUDSPEAKER
ANNOUNCEMENT

BELL RINGS

WOMAN: Oysters!
Get your oysters over here!

Maybe this was a mistake.

That sort of attitude
isn't gonna get us very far.

Where's your enthusiasm?

Fried herring!
Fresh off the boat this morning!

Penny for one! Seven for sixpence!

Smells delicious. One.
Oh, aye, you can't beat a herring.

There you go.
Thank you.

MARY AND HARRY
CHUCKLE

Hey, a few more of them and you'll
be back at school in jig time.

Hardacre Herring!

There we go.
MAN: Two, please.

All right there, fella.
Good to see you, Sam.

Is that you back, then, Sam?
I hope so.

There's not many
that'd did what you did.

I don't know how to thank you.

Well, buy me a pint sometime, Albie.
We'll call it quits.

Get them barrels shifted.
Can I have a word, Mr Shaw?

Ready to get back to work.

Is your hand mended?

Aye, it's, er... it's getting there.

Show me.

You couldn't even gut herring
with the women.

I'll sweep up. Anything.

You're no use to me, Hardacre.

Sam...

SAM CLEARS THROAT

There you go, sir. The last one.

Enjoy.
Thank you!

SHE GASPS

Two pound and six.
SHE INHALES SHARPLY

We did it! Right, let's get tidy.

Aye.

Got everything?
Your tobacco.

So, you're doing deliveries
for Big Jonesy, are you? Aye. I am.

So you'd best watch yourself
and behave

if you want to keep getting
your gin cheap.

Fill her up.

If you want your gin, you'll turn
your piggy eyes to the wall.

MA CHUCKLES

She's one of your kin, all right.

Yeah. And don't you forget it!

Come here.

I can't wait to see Joe's face.

Now, now. I can't wait to see Ma's.

THEY CHUCKLE,
HORSES CHUFF

Good day at the races?
Yes, thank you.

You owe us our cut.
Get out of it.

You wanna watch that mouth of yours.

Get your hands off my son!
It'll get you hurt. Agh!

You wouldn't want that, would you?
HORSE WHINNIES

HARRY WHIMPERS

Now, take it, and leave us alone.
What do you call that?

Harry! Harry! Stop!
Get him!

I want all of it.
HARRY GROANS

Two pound and six.

THIEF CHUCKLES

HARRY WHIMPERS
Let me see you. You're OK.

SHE EXHALES,
HARRY CRIES

The veg had seen better days,
so I got it cheap.

Beggars can't be choosers.

What the hell happened?

We were robbed.
Are you hurt?

They hardly touched me.

I'd have taken him
if there weren't two of them.

What did they look like?

Ginger, greasy,
not a brain between them.

The Wilson boys.

That pair
should've been drowned at birth.

We made two pound and six,
and they took the lot.

Well...

Mine and Liza's.

You're risking me daughter
going to prison for a few shilling?!

Is it cold up there
on your high horse?

It's better than nothing.
This is my fault.

All of it's my fault.

SHE EXHALES SHAKILY
It's all right, love.

Harry'll live.
And when I find those boys...

I should've just
stayed at the docks.

I should've just stayed there.

I should've just gone back there,
and I should've just... No!

Don't you ever think that.

How could you have stayed
after what Shaw tried to do?

WHISPERING: Ma.

What do you mean?
What did Shaw try to do?

Somebody needs to tell me
what's going on right now.

Two...

MAN: Oi!

Hardacre,
what the hell are you doing?

MR SHAW GRUNTS,
STRAINS

EXCLAMATIONS

If you even look in the direction
of my wife again, I'll kill you.

MR SHAW GRUNTS
Is that clear?

Yes.

Did you know?
Yeah, but I... I...

Home. Now.

Here they come.

DOOR OPENS

SAM EXHALES

Shaw sends this...

..with his sincere apologies.

Final wages for all of us.

SAM SIGHS

I've been an idiot.
Well...

you couldn't know what I didn't
tell you. No, it's not just that.

You were right about my hand.

I didn't wanna believe it,
but it's never gonna be what it was.

And even if it were...
our days at the docks are over

after I upended Shaw
into a pile of fish guts.

LAUGHTER

So, after we've paid the rent,

we've enough left to buy two barrels
of herring for your stall.

No. No, no, no. It doesn't work.

You made more in one day
than I would in a week at the docks.

Yeah, before it was stolen.

Go and ask Shaw if anybody's
gonna try that with me around.

I should have supported you,
and I'm sorry.

But I'm with you now.

We're all with you now.

Right.

This is the last we have,
and not a job between us.

SHE LAUGHS
Then we'd better make it work.

Ah, sign's a cracking idea.
Good man.

Don't even need a sign.
And what would you know?

Nothing.

While I was here helping Mum,

you were busy
looking after yourself.

'Ere, if he's gonna be like that,
he can stay at home.

He's just embarrassed.

I'll talk to him.
You're too soft on him, love.

I thought
I were doing the right thing, Dad.

I thought that me staying earning
is what you'd want.

I know you did.

But some things
are more important than money, Joe.

I let everyone down.

Mum, especially.
JOE SNIFFS

I, er...

..never got on with my da.

He was a drinker.

He spent every penny he earned
on the stuff.

If it weren't for your Uncle Johnny

working day and night
to look after us...

When I came here
to find a better life...

..I swore
that if I had my own family...

..we'd stick together,
take care of each other.

Today's a chance for you to show

that you stand by this family
no matter what.

Take it.

Mum?

JOE EXHALES

I really am sorry.

Then we'll say no more about it.
Come here.

SHE SIGHS

Right... make yourself useful.

Finish off loading the cart.

Right, Hardacres,
let's go sell some fish.

OK, form an orderly queue!

It's a penny for one,
seven for sixpence. Thank you.

Here you go. Enjoy.

WOMAN: Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Go ahead. How are you? You OK?
WOMAN: Yeah.

Enjoy.

Three... four... five.

Four pound, six shillings and five!
CHUCKLING

You did it.
Oh, no, come on, now.

No, we all did it.
MA CHUCKLES

BELL DINGS,
APPLAUSE

Don't look now -
there's our ginger friends.

Right, Mary, you're with me.
You lot, make yourselves scarce.

Oh, I'm staying.
Brains before brawn.

You first.
Go with your dad.

Hey, hey, hey.

Looks like you've been busy.

Yeah. Took over four pound.
Minus the rent you owe us.

MARY AND MA LAUGH
You'll be getting nowt.

Listen, you old crone...

No, you listen to me, Paddy Wilson.

Yeah?

I know your father.

A criminal for sure,
but a criminal with principles.

Now, I wonder what he'd have to say

about you going around
robbing women and young boys.

Hm?
We were just messing about.

Well, your messing about
has left my girl here out of pocket.

Three pound and six.
It were two pound and six.

Four pound and six, was it?
LIZA LAUGHS

Well, that's very nice of you
to be so honest.

BELL DINGS,
CHEERING

Now...

..say hello to MY boys.

MARY CHUCKLES
We're rich.

Well, I wouldn't go that far, love,
but, yes, it's a start.

So there's no need for you
to go smuggling, do you hear?

But I don't want
to work for you and Dad.

It's all right working
for your grandmother, is it?

I'm a lot more fun.
LAUGHTER

KNOCK AT DOOR
MAN: Rent!

Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this!
THEY GIGGLE

What a day, eh?
Mm-hm.

Even our Joe put in a shift.

Aye. He's not a bad lad.

He honestly thought
he was doing the right thing.

Oh, I know. I just worry, is all.

Him trying to be the big man
in front of all of his pals.

Ah, he's just trying to find himself
and his place.

It's not easy.
What?

You mean all men
don't come out of a box like you?

What do you mean, "like me"?
Well...

Decent, honourable... handsome.

Behave!

So...

..do we carry on?

Yeah.

It works when we do it together.
Mm-hm.

Lots of things work
when we do them together, love.

I can't believe I'm gonna say this,

but... we need to decide what
we're gonna do with all that money.

Well, you can keep it away
from your mother, for a start.

Imagine, we have more money
than we actually need.

We need to put it somewhere safe.

HE SIGHS

Mr and Mrs Hardacre?
Callum Saunders.

The advertisement says you've got
over 50 years' experience.

That's right.

I'm not being funny, lad,
but I've got socks older than you.

It was Mr Pearson
who started the firm. He...

..passed away recently.
Oh.

But I assure you
I am well qualified.

Well, we've come all this way.

May as well hear
what the boy has to say. Yeah.

Please.
Thank you.

So, we're here today because
we recently started a business.

Could you be more specific?

We run a fried herring stall, son.

And we've made some money, and
we don't know what to do with it.

And where is the money
currently being held?

Well, right now, it's in Mary's bag.

Before that,
it was on the mantlepiece.

Then...

..the first thing I'd suggest
is depositing it in a bank.

Right.
So, how does that work? Sorry.

Do... Do we give the money to you
and then you give it to them, or...?

If... you decide
to go ahead with me...

..I will give you
the very best advice I can.

But all monies, all accounts,

would be in your names
and your names only.

You're in charge.

COINS THUD,
MARY SIGHS

SAUNDERS CHUCKLES

You've obviously quite a knack
for business.

Have you considered
expansion and investment?

Looks all right.

JOE: Oh, flipping hell.

She's doing the finishing touches
so it looks right.

Shall we, ladies?

Come on.
HARRY EXHALES

HARRY GRUNTS

There we go.

Welcome. What can I get you?
Er, two, please.

OK, two. Thank you.
REGISTER DINGS

Right.
Is anybody else having mussels?

REGISTER DINGS

Thank you. All right.
As fast as you can, Joe.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.

REGISTER DINGS

Oh, we did it.

Shares for the Grand Junction Canal.
Thank you.

That's 20 shares at £20 apiece

for the Cape Town
Gold Mining Company. Ah.

SAUNDERS LAUGHS
Another successful day.

Can I get my wages early?

I'm meeting Lewis and Jack
at the pub.

No. That's three nights in a row.
You're staying in.

Ah, bad luck, Joe.

OK? Right...
Is that it?

Why's your cut bigger than mine?
We're supposed to be equal partners.

You're still in training.

I'm the one
doing all the hard labour,

shovelling out horse muck,
doing all the humping and carrying.

Ha! You should have seen some of the
things I had to do back in my day.

Oh, here we go.
Tales of the last century.

If you're not woman enough for
the work, then feel free to quit.

Well, I'd like to see you
manage on your own... old woman!

I were a legend
long before you came along.

One day,
they'll sing songs about me!

Fine! Then I quit!

Fine!

KNOCK ON DOOR

URGENT KNOCKING
All right!

I-Is this the Hardacre home?
Who wants to know?

Mr Saunders. Come on in.

I must apologise for my daughter's
manners, Mr Saunders.

He was the one banging the door
off its hinges.

My sincere apologies.

But... But I am very keen

to talk to you
about your investments.

What investments?

We put some of the profits
from the business

into stocks of other companies.

Like what?

Like Grand Junction Canal,
a bicycle company in Manchester.

Ha! What do you know about canals
or bleeding bicycles?

You don't have to "know", as such.

You buy a share in the company,

and if it makes money,
it gives you a little bit more back.

Oh, "if"? So, it's gambling? Ha!

And all the times you've judged me!

If I may...
It is not gambling!

What's the difference between that
and putting a bet on the horses?

You wouldn't understand, would you?

I understand a fool and her money
are easily parted! If I may!

There is... no fool at this table.

Quite the opposite.

The South African mine
you invested in struck gold.

So I thought you might want
to consider buying lodgings

that may be more befitting a family
in your new circumstances.

THEY LAUGH
You're having us on.

I assure you, I am not.

As things stand this morning,
you and your wife

are worth £249,146 and 16 shillings.

Say that again, son.

£249,146...

SHOUTING: And 16 bloody shillings!

ALL CHEER,
SCREAM

So, husband. What's it to be?

Ten bedrooms, a ballroom, stables,
or eight bedrooms...

..elegant gardens
and the greatest hall in the county?

HE EXHALES
Rich-man problems, eh?

Oh, I'll take them
over the other kind any day.

What's wrong?

I'm no lord of the manor, Mary.

I'm the son of a drunkard
from the back alleys of Belfast.

Aye, and I'm the daughter
of a two-bit smuggler.

But look at what we've achieved.

Who's to say
what we can and can't be, eh?

I mean, look at Harry.

He's clever... right?

We could get him
into a better school,

one that can get into university.

He could be
a proper educated gentleman.

So, you really wanna leave
the village?

I wanna get Liza
away from smuggling.

Somewhere she can meet
a nice fellow, settle down.

I don't think settling down
is what Liza's after, Mary.

Oh, and Joe. Oh, Joe...

Just get him away from those idiots
on the docks.

Oi! I'm an idiot from the docks.

CHUCKLING: Yeah, I know.
You're a very lovely one, too.

But don't you want more for him?

So...

..are we gonna do this?

I like that one.
Yeah. No, Ma, it's massive.

So, I suppose
you two are gonna stay here,

given you've got a business to run
and everything?

Well... I mean, you'll need me

if you're gonna
live amongst the likes of them.

The rich are more criminal

than anyone you'd ever meet
in my line of work.

Anyway, which one of these asylums
are you moving us into?

You'll see.

There's whole gardens of plants
where we're going, love.

I like this one.
It reminds me of here.

Now, don't you go forgetting
about us.

You'll come and see us
as soon as we're settled, won't you?

Right.
What's this?

No. No, no. I'll be hearing
none of your nonsense, Lena.

It's only as much
as I figured you'd accept.

It's just to say thank you
for always being there for us

and being such a good pal.

Ah, come on, ladies,
you're gonna set me off.

DOG GROWLS
Bye, Joe.

Don't forget about us
now that you're rich.

I'll try not to.

Right.
MOUTHING: Bye.

It really is most unusual
to serve Champagne outside.

That was requested
by the new owners' agent.

Do you know anything about them?

Only that their name is Hardacre

and they will find this house
and her staff shipshape

and eager to serve.

Whoa! Whoa, Queenie.

What a dump!

THEY LAUGH

Oh, no. No!

Wait till you meet this one.
She's a right piece of work.

Go on, shoo!

Whatever you're hawking,
we have no need for it here.

So you said.

Aw, you don't remember me, do you?

I came here looking for work
with my mother and my daughter.

You said we smelled of fish.

And I told you never
to come to this house again.

You did, didn't you, love?

TINNY BARKS

Someone control that dog!

It's a nice day for it, eh?
MRS HENDERSON STAMMERS

JOE: Oh, don't mind if I do.

Who on earth do you think you are?!

We're the Hardacres.

But you... you can call me ma'am.

GIGGLING,
HARP PLAYS

This is our home now.
Has anyone seen Ma?

MA SIGHS

What sort of thing
does a gentleman do with his day?

Mainly reading newspapers, talking
nonsense with other gentlemen.

Oh, Sam, you've got to give it
a proper chance, love.

Maybe you could just
help me out here, love?

I wouldn't like to get
above my station.

Well, Beesley, do we look the part?
Every inch, sir.

Lord and Lady Fitzherbert
will be joining us.

Welcome to Hardacre Hall.
