00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,118
WOMAN: We wove a web in childhood,
A web of sunny air;

2
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,755
We took a spring in infancy
Of water pure and fair;

3
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,714
We sowed in youth a mustard seed,
We cut an almond rod;

4
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,638
We're now grown up to riper age -
Are they withered in the sod?

5
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,993
Are they blighted, failed and faded?
Are they mouldered back to clay?

6
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,955
For life is darkly shaded
And its joys fleet fast away.

7
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,511
What the hell is going on?

8
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,831
Qui sont ces gens?

9
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,631
They'll tear us limb from limb.

10
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,796
I've crossed the Arctic
and seen nothing like it.

11
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,638
Down on them instantly.

12
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,239
Run!

13
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,879
Know you that I give into
your protection, but not for your own,

14
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,560
these martyrs
whom you hold in your hands.

15
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,114
- What's yours called?
- Wellesley.

16
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,549
This is Gravey,
because he looks a bit grave.

17
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,079
- Mine's called...
- Waiting Boy.

18
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,156
Is it? Why?

19
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,068
Because he's a queer-looking
little thing, Anne, much like yourself.

20
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,795
- Look who's talking.
- This is Sneaky.

21
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,071
Thou art under my protection.
I will watch over thy life.

22
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:45,320
Pray tell you all,
one day you shall be kings.

23
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,431
ALL: Yes!

(CHURCH BELL RINGS)

25
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,792
WOMAN: Dear Ellen.
It was ten o'clock when I got home.

26
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,030
I found Branwell ill.

27
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,516
He is so very often these days,
owing to his own fault.

28
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:38,915
I was not therefore surprised at first,

29
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,396
but when Anne informed me of the
immediate cause of his present illness,

30
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,112
I was greatly shocked.

31
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,912
(MAN SHOUTING)

32
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,559
- Charlotte, how was the journey?
- Pleasant.

33
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,079
How was Miss Nussey?

34
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,191
Well. Did my box arrive safely?

35
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:55,912
In our room.
We took it up, me and Emily.

36
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,476
- What's?
- Branwell, he's been drinking.

37
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,876
He's had a letter from Mr Robinson
this last Thursday.

38
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,475
- He's been dismissed.
- How does he do it?

39
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,115
- It's every job he's ever had.
- I know, but this is different.

40
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,514
How?

41
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,279
Nothing was spelled out in the letter,
but he...

42
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:21,156
Him and Mrs Robinson,
I had reason to know that they were...

43
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,078
carrying on with one another
and, I don't know,

44
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,079
I can only assume that Mr Robinson's
found out and that's what it's about.

45
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,191
Carrying on? How?

46
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,275
Congress? Mr Robinson's wife?

47
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,391
It's why I resigned.

48
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,875
I couldn't look people in the face.
I've known for months.

49
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,992
Papa doesn't know. He just knows he's
been dismissed. He doesn't know why.

50
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,749
Emily does. I told her. And of course
we don't know that that is the reason.

51
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:48,869
Where is Emily?

52
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,275
MAN: You must have some idea
what this is about.

53
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,153
Do you think repeating the question
enough times, over and over,

54
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,633
is gonna make me able to answer it?

55
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,799
And if not, then someone must write
to the man and ask for an explanation.

56
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,276
He hates me. He's not gonna give
any kind of an explanation.

57
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,073
It's an excuse to get rid of me.

58
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,909
He's a monster. He's a bully.
He's a law unto himself.

59
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,951
- He's an idiot!
- Why does he hate you?

60
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,514
Why does he need a reason
to get rid of you?

61
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,599
Because... he's old, he's ill
and he's jealous of me.

62
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,712
No, no, no, that doesn't make any sense.

63
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:23,717
There must have been
a misunderstanding, hm?

64
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:26,752
Has someone misrepresented you to him?

65
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,509
Just... God, this house!

66
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,632
Just go to bed
and stop asking me fucking questions.

67
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,910
If you don't like this house,
don't stay in it.

68
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,474
There's none of us who'll miss you,
not when you're like this.

69
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,397
I need to know what happened!

70
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,191
Tell him.

71
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,115
Branwell's been at it
with his employer's wife.

72
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,359
She was lonely.

73
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:56,998
She was lonely.

(SCREAMING)

76
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:08,876
Tis a shame you're embarked on
this course of myopic self-destruction,

77
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,993
for I imagine you and I might,
under better circumstances,

78
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,510
have made very stimulating company
for one another!

79
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,518
I despise everything you stand for.

80
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,668
Revolution is in the air, and only
a fool like you, sir, would ignore it.

81
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,429
If the parson and your Aunt Branwell
were in, you'd not make so much din.

82
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,951
They all think you're right quiet and
studious down in t' village, you know.

83
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,069

- Yeah. I'm just...

John's here. We're off.

91
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,876
- Don't get up.
- No, no, I... I'd like to see him.

92
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,792
- How are you today, John?
- Very well, thank you, Mr Bronte.

93
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,596
MR BRONTE: Good, good.
Well, travel safely.

94
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,075
It's a fine day for it, eh?

95
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,756
You look after yourself.

96
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,712
Thank you.

97
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:06,273
Well, I think with kindness

98
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,870
and understanding and prayer,

99
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,514
we might still be able,

100
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:19,876
in spite of his naivety
and his nonsense,

101
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,719
be able to get him back
onto a proper path.

102
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,318
Will you bring us all something back
from Liverpool, Father?

103
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,432
You behave yoursen and then we'll see.

104
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,196
You dozy bastard. Getting caught.

105
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,353
EMILY: Anne left her situation at Thorp
Green of her own accord, June 1845.

106
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,471
Branwell left.

107
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,756
We are all in decent health, only
that Papa has a complaint in his eyes,

108
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,393
and with the exception of Branwell,

109
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,592
who I hope will be better
and do better hereafter.

110
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,835
I am seldom more ever troubled
with nothing to do

111
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,871
and merely desiring
that everybody could be

112
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,594
as comfortable as myself
and as undesponding,

113
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,234
for then we should have
a very tolerable world of it.

114
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,993
They've set off.

115
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,349
Good.

116
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,713
Call me old-fashioned, but I think
it's nice having everybody back at home.

117
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,751
Mm. In theory.

118
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,319
- What happened?
- You heard the shouting.

119
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,352
Had me pillow over me ears,
so I didn't catch the details.

120
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,434
Lucky you.

121
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:39,189
So he's... been mucking about
and by way of punishment

122
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,312
he's packed off on holiday for a week
with Martha's father?

123
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,079
Packed off on holiday for a week
or got shot of for a few days.

124
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,317
It's all a question of how you might
choose to look at it, Tabby.

125
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,476
- Oh, well, if that's how you feel...
- (BARKS)

126
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,831

- TABBY: Oh, I've got plenty to do.

127
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,349
Sit down.

128
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,233
- Do you still write stories?
- Sometimes.

129
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,231
About Gondal?

130
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,711
When we can.

131
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:24,589
Emily as well?

132
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,676
You've been here with her
more than I have.

133
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,791
- We never talk about it.
- Never?

134
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,232
Do you... write still?

135
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,477
- Not so much.
- What about the infernal world?

136
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,795
I relinquished my pen.

137
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,275
- Why?
- Because it frightened me.

138
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,152
Threatened to make
the real world seem...

139
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,192
pointless and colourless and drab.

140
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:02,871
And that way lies madness.

141
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,394
You know, the real world is what it is,
but we must live in it, so...

142
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,192
You should write if it makes you happy.

143
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,157
I worry about my eyes.

144
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,710
And I think as well,
when I got that reply from Southey,

145
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,912
"Literature cannot be the business
of a woman's life."

146
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,839
At the time I brushed it off,

147
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,952
but the longer I've dwelt on it,
the older I've got,

148
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,995
the more I've thought...
what's the point?

149
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,715
The point, for me...

150
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,470
is I'm never more alive
than when I write.

151
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,713
You're the same surely.

152
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:50,312
But with no prospect of publication...
it's just playing at it, isn't it?

153
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,956
Are we playing, then, or what?

154
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,431
Does it ever bother you that we might be
getting a bit old for that?

155
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,517
You weren't saying that
two weeks ago in York.

156
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,428
No, well...
I didn't want to spoil things in York.

157
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,954
It's something I've been thinking
for a while.

158
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,596
Well, what did you
come out with me for, then?

159
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,392
- To talk.
- What about?

160
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,636
Things, about our home.

161
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,558
- Do you never think about...
- What?

162
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,356
The future.
What are we without Papa and Branwell?

163
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,552
Papa won't... he won't live forever,
and he's blind.

164
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:38,673
And that house, our house, it belongs
to the church trustees, not us.

165
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,553
And Branwell, what's he doing,
what's he thinking

166
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:46,390
that he has such a hopeless grasp
on the realities of what comes next?

167
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,034
Are we nothing to him?
Does he even see us?

168
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,713
If we don't make something of ourselves,
and God knows we've been trying...

169
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,630
I've been trying. I was a governess
at that ludicrous place for five years.

170
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:04,590
What will we do, Emily?
What will... What will we be?

171
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,788
EMILY: It was when I came back
from Roe Head and he was there,

172
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,911
at home, Branwell.

173
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,271
And he wasn't supposed to be.

174
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,795
You'd gone, you and Charlotte,
gone off back to Roe Head,

175
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,195
and he was supposed to be in London

176
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,915
trying to get his foot in the door
at the Royal Academy.

177
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,796
That's when I knew what a liar he was.

178
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,512
- Sharpers?
- Thieves!

179
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,279
So, what, they attacked you?
You were robbed?

180
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,072
- Four of them?
- I think four.

181
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,796
In broad daylight? That's...
Well, surely someone saw what happened.

182
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,956
MR BRONTE:
What, you didn't even get there?

183
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,516
No, it was just after I arrived at
the coaching inn at St Martin le Grand,

184
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,598
and I knew my way around
from the maps in my head,

185
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,793
but London, the whole thing
is so much bigger than I imagined.

186
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,233
And you didn't tell me how big it was,
did you?

187
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,511
And I didn't know who to turn to
with no money, so I came home!

188
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,918
Well... witnesses. Surely someone
must have seen what happened.

189
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,268
No, there were no witnesses.

190
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,073
Everyone just turned around
and went about their business.

191
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,237
So all 30 shillings... gone?

192
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,759
Yes!

193
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,799
Then when Aunt Branwell went to bed
and Papa went back to his study,

194
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,150
I said to him, "You're lying."

195
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,475
And he admitted it.

196
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,912
He didn't even make it to London, never
mind any business at any Royal Academy.

197
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:36,558
He said he was about to get
on the Highflyer in Bradford

198
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:38,750
with his paintings and his sketches.

199
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,628
But then, when he was faced with
the reality of setting off for London,

200
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,797
he realised that they just...
weren't that good.

201
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,957
They might look well enough at home, but
next to a Lawrence or a Gainsborough...

202
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,992
So he fortified himself, he said,

203
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,829
to get the courage to get on
the next coach, which was his intention.

204
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,191
But he didn't.

205
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,230
He spent four days in Bradford, drunk
and miserable and dreaming up some trash

206
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,999
that he thought everyone at home
would be blown enough to believe.

207
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,032
He spent 30 shillings on drink
in four days?

208
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,675
I could have cheerfully murdered him
to start with, and then...

209
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,311
actually, I felt sorry for him.

210
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,115
They always expected so much of him,

211
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,710
more probably
than he was ever capable of.

212
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,830
And I just thought,
"Thank God I'm not you."

213
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,431
It's disappointing, I know.

214
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,277
I'm angry with him too.

215
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,949
He humiliated me at Thorp Green,
and he knew what he was doing.

216
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,835
- But we shouldn't give up on him.
- No, we shouldn't give up on him.

217
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,238
But we should see him for what he is,
not what he isn't.

218
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,791
It's not fair on him.

219
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,390
I sometimes think
Charlotte despises him.

220
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,351
Mm.

221
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,995
Well, Charlotte has her own demons.

222
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,875
What demons?

223
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,277
Look, you know how low she's been,
for months,

224
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,188
to the point of making herself ill and
convincing herself she's going blind?

225
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,309
Yes.

226
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,477
Well, you know
when we were in Brussels...

227
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,154
- Monsieur Heger.
- Yes.

228
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:40,552
Well, she was very... taken with him.

229
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,790
Not when I was there.
This was after Aunt Branwell died,

230
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,558
when I stayed at home.

231
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,435
She became... obsessed with him.

232
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,514
He was married.

233
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,271
That's why she left, at finish.

234
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,558
BRANWELL: My dear Leyland.

235
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,151
I returned yesterday from a week's
journey to Liverpool and North Wales.

236
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,518
But I found during my absence
that wherever I went,

237
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:33,237
a certain woman robed in black and
calling herself Misery walked by my side

238
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,592
and leant on my arm as affectionately
as if she were my legal wife.

239
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,429
Like some other husbands,
I could have spared her presence.

240
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,476
MR BRONTE:
For the food we are about to receive,

241
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,478
may the Lord make us truly thankful.

242
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,591
- Amen.
- Amen.

243
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,195
- Is she feeding those dogs again?
- EMILY: No.

244
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,991
Chicken, please.

245
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,116
My tea.

246
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,037
- Branwell.
- Yeah.

247
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,153
Well, tell us something about Liverpool.

248
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,192
Ah. Well, the docks were extraordinary.

249
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,436
- Uh-huh.
- We saw a black man.

250
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,674
A blackamoor, a Creole.

251
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,199
He really was black.

252
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,197
- So dark, Papa.
- Uh-huh.

253
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,472
And I spoke to him, didn't really
understand what he was saying,

254
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,478
and I don't think he understood a word
I was saying either,

255
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,670
but it was just fascinating.

256
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,870
I think he was something
on one of the ships.

258
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,631
(CHUCKLING CONTINUES)

259
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:14,468
Yes?

260
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,792
If you...

261
00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:33,391
If you don't... get on top of...
of this habit

262
00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:38,638
when things don't go right for you,
if you can't exercise some restraint,

263
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,273
it'll take over your life, Branwell.

264
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,198
- Don't be ridiculous.
- I'm not being ridiculous.

265
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,270
- It'll destroy you.
- Mm.

266
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,720
Potentially you still have
so much to offer, Branwell.

267
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,517
- You need a plan.
- I've got plans.

268
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,631
Have you?

269
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,428
- And can you share them with anyone?
- D'you know what I've realised?

270
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,872
What?

271
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,911
There's no money in poetry.

272
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,953
Novels, that's where the money is.

273
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,955
Whilst the composition of a poem

274
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,153
demands the utmost stretch
of a man's intellect.

275
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,992
And for what? Ten pounds at best.

276
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:32,918
I could hum a tune, smoke a cigar
and I'd have a novel written.

277
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,474
No one will publish a novel
by an unknown author.

278
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,831
I've had nine poems published
in the Halifax Guardian.

279
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,595
It's only Halifax, I know,
but it is widely enough read.

280
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,951
- You'd need a good story for a novel.
- Oh. When was I ever short of a story?

281
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,150
EMILY: Are you still thinking
about going to Paris?

282
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,356
CHARLOTTE: I don't think it's likely...
at the moment.

283
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,869
EMILY: Why? It might do you good.

284
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,032
Are you still hell-bent
on making yourself poorly?

285
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,516
I'm not poorly.

286
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,638
I'm just struggling to...

287
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,316
Why is it that a woman's lot
is so very different to a man's?

288
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,039
I've never felt inferior,
have you, intellectually?

289
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,913
Why is it that we have
so very few opportunities?

290
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,235
You or I could do almost anything
we set our minds to,

291
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:45,478
but, no, all we can realistically plan
is a school, a modest enough school,

292
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,795
that no one wants to come to.

293
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,111
Why is it that the woman's lot
is to be perpetually infantilised?

294
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,670
Or else invisible
and powerless to do anything about it?

295
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,395
Did he never write back to you, then?

296
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,471

297
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,071
No.

298
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,229
Mm.

299
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,996
Anne says you've written some poems.

300
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,038
Have you thought about publishing them?

301
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,354
No.

302
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,394
It's just the...

303
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,790
The thing is, you see,

304
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,957
I've written some verses too,
and if between us,

305
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,513
we could accumulate enough material

306
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,278
to think about publishing
a small volume...

307
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,436
And have it pored over
and rubbished and ridiculed

308
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,915
by anyone who might choose
to waste their money on it?

309
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,031
Not likely.

EMILY: He comes with western winds,
with evening's wandering airs;

311
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,029
With that clear dusk of heaven
that brings the thickest stars,

312
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,635
Winds take a pensive tone
and stars a tender fire,

313
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,719
And visions rise and change
that kill me with desire.

Earth rising to heaven
and heaven descending,

318
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,232
Man's spirit away
from its drear dungeon sending,

319
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:41,920
Bursting the fetters
and breaking the bars

320
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,755
Then dawns the Invisible;

321
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,269
The Unseen its truth reveals;

322
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,029
My outward sense is gone
My inward essence feels

323
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,073
lts wings are almost free,
lts home, its harbour found,

324
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,749
Measuring the gulf,
it stoops and dares the final bound.

325
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:04,032
O dreadful is the check...
intense the agony...

326
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,799
When the ear begins to hear
and the eye begins to see;

327
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,798
When the pulse begins to throb,
the brain to think again,

328
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,356
The soul to feel the flesh
and the flesh to feel the chain.

329
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,278
Yet I would lose no sting,

330
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,550
Would wish no torture less,

331
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,116
The more that anguish racks,
the earlier it will bless,

332
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,995
And robed in fires of hell
or bright with heavenly shine,

333
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,954
If it but herald Death,
the vision is divine.

336
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,437
What's the matter? What's the matter?

337
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,994
- Somebody has been in my room.
- Somebody?

338
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:23,157
Somebody has been through my things and
not had the wit when they put them back

339
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,271
to realise that everything
was in a certain order.

340
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:26,879
Well, who? We haven't. I haven't.

341
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,958
You haven't. You wouldn't. I know that.
Branwell's in Halifax.

342
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,231
It's safe to assume Papa couldn't see to
do it, and anyway why would he bother?

343
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:36,272
Tabby's got better things to do
and Martha can't read that well yet.

344
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,473
She also has too much dignity
and respect for other people's things!

345
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,716
I shouldn't have.

346
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,751
I know.

347
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,996
But I'm not sorry. I mean I am sorry.

348
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,516
But, look, Emily, your poems are...

349
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,470
They're extraordinary.

350
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,512
I know they're private, personal,
they're a thousand and one things,

351
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,108
but they're not something
to keep hidden.

352
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,438
I... I admit it was curiosity,
but not idle curiosity, I hope,

353
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,152
but something more noble.

354
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,431
Noble? Going in people's bedrooms?
Going through people's things?

355
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,189
No woman, no one,
has ever written poetry like this.

356
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,436
Nothing I've read,
nothing I can think of,

357
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,120
nothing published, is its equal.

358
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,755
Emily, they're exceptional.
They're astonishing.

359
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,269
I couldn't breathe
when I was reading them.

360
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,918
I know you're angry
and I know what I did is unforgivable,

361
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,031
except please see that it isn't.

362
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,678
You disgust me.

363
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,189
You can't begin to imagine how much.

364
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,675
You stay out of my room
and you don't speak to me.

365
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,951
You don't speak to me generally
and you don't speak to me specifically

366
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,629
about your misguided, tedious,
grubby little publishing plans.

367
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,351
What on earth is the matter?

368
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,711
She has been in people's bedrooms,
going through people's things.

369
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,478
I'm putting a lock on that door.

370
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,795
She? What happened?

371
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,911
- Charlotte?
- Nothing.

372
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,311
It was nothing.
I... I went in her bedroom.

375
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,713
And, um, where is Branwell?

376
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,353
- Halifax.
- He's where?

377
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:22,235
- Halifax.
- Oh. Is he due in tonight?

378
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,920
Or have we to lock the back door?

379
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,191
- I'd imagine he's taken a key.
- MR BRONTE: Right.

380
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,799
Alright, I made a mistake.

381
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,511
Except I didn't.

382
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:57,952
They're...

383
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,752
Have you read them?

384
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,916
No.

385
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,792
She's never asked me to.

386
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,557
What did she mean about
your grubby little publishing plans?

387
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,113
They're not without charm.

388
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,750
It's not just the poems, you see.

389
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,469
I've been writing this too.
It's a novel.

390
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,591
It's not Gondal and Gaaldine.

391
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,632
It's more about how things are
in the real world.

392
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,074
It's about being a governess.

393
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,351
It's all things I've seen
and heard and witnessed.

394
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,112
- The thing is, you see, I...
- This is beautifully written.

395
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,511
I would be ready to try and publish.
I would be ready to risk failure.

396
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,952
And who knows? This is what
we've done all our lives, write.

397
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:20,638
We've lived in our heads.

398
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,554
I don't regard the attempt
to do something with it as venal.

399
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,750
It's more venal
selling ourselves as governesses

400
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,791
when we find it such a trial.

401
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,629
So long as
we approached it carefully, wisely,

402
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,591
not make fools of ourselves,
then surely...

403
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,635
The plan would be to try to publish
a volume of poetry first.

404
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,872
And then if that met
with a modicum of success

405
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,355
and something of a name was established,

406
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,755
then we could each risk
a work of fiction.

407
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,592
I've toyed with writing something
about Brussels.

408
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,552
I mean, I don't even know
if that's the etiquette,

409
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,797
but perhaps I can write
to a publishing house and find out.

410
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:11,508
Your poems are competent and charming,
and I'm no great poet myself,

411
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,077
but Emily's contribution
could elevate a small volume

412
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:21,274
into something... actually worth
spending a few shillings on.

413
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,153
- I feel sorry for her.
- Why?

414
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,309
Same reason I feel sorry for Branwell.

415
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,193
So much is expected of her,
being the eldest,

416
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,436
and not even the eldest,
by accident the eldest.

417
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,358
Bossiest. She was bossy when Maria
and Elizabeth were still alive.

418
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,471
I remember it vividly.

419
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,958
It's being so bossy
that's stunted her growth.

420
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:54,154
She's ambitious for all of us.
I can see nothing wrong with that.

421
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,390
I realise some people
might think it's vulgar,

422
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,990
but, Emily, we were born writing.

423
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,588
And if we're cautious,
if we're clever, and we are,

424
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,075
and if we disguise our real selves
and our sex...

425
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,159
Right, that's done.
Tabby, I'm off down the... hill.

426
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,593
It's wonderful how quiet
they all think she is in t' village

427
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,154
and how loud she is at home.

428
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,071
You can come with me if you want.

429
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,677
Have you ever thought about
writing something that's not Gondal?

430
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,075
Something more.
Not princesses and emperors,

431
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,760
more just what happens
in the real world?

432
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,070
You know when I worked in Halifax?

433
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,031
- At that school at Law Hill?
- Yes.

434
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,754
Miss Patchett that ran it,
she told me this tale

435
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,474
and I've often thought
it would make a story, a novel.

436
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:47,669
What was it about?

437
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,633
This man, this lad, Jack Sharp.
Have I never told you this?

438
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,877
It serves us well enough, but it's not
an attractive building, I know.

439
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,911
It has a rather curious history.

440
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,998
It was built out of spite,
apparently, 60 years ago,

441
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,076
by a man called Jack Sharp.

442
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,758
So, there's this family, the Walkers.

443
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,440
They own Walterclough Hall,
this big house just above Halifax.

444
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,198
It's been in the family for generations.

445
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,356
They're woollen manufacturers.
Aren't they all?

446
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,198
Anyway, John Walker has four children,

447
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,517
two boys and two girls,
and he's adopted this nephew Jack Sharp.

448
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,999
Richard and John, the two sons,
were educated well,

449
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,395
and they ended up
making their livings in London.

450
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,636
Jack stayed at home with the girls,
Grace and Mary,

451
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,991
and he was trained up to take over the
family business, which suited everyone,

452
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,317
because it seems he'd always been
old Mr Walker's favourite,

453
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:32,793
the truth be told.

454
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,276
Then when Richard, the eldest son,
dies in some tragic accident somewhere,

455
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,277
old Mr Walker decides
to leave the district

456
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,676
and he leaves Jack in charge
of his business and Walterclough Hall.

457
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,429
Eventually, some years later,
old Mr Walker himself dies,

458
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,597
and the remaining son, John, in London,
inherits everything

459
00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:50,995
and gives Jack Sharp,
who he'd never liked,

460
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,315
notice to vacate the property forthwith.

461
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,749
But John Walker Junior
has the law on his side,

462
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,836
and after enough wrangling in court,

463
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,713
Jack Sharp has to vacate the property
whether he likes it or not,

464
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,478
but not before he'd trashed the place

465
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,353
and taken anything of value,
furniture...

466
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,550
...the silver, the plate, the linen.

467
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,240
You can only imagine
what they all went through,

468
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,237
the anger and the bitterness.

469
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,592
And then he built his own home,
a new house, here at Law Hill.

470
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:19,154
EMILY: The spot chosen very carefully,
people believed,

471
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,191
because it looks down
on Walterclough Hall.

472
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,153
And then he filled it with the stash
he'd purloined from the hall,

473
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,113
like he was goading John Walker
to come and fetch it if he dared.

474
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:28,275
And did he dare?

475
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,119
I doubt it,
but the worst thing that Jack Sharp did,

476
00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:34,835
one of old Mr Walker's sisters had a
son, grown up by then, called Sam Stead,

477
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,757
and Jack Sharp
apprenticed him in the trade,

478
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,553
just like he himself
had been apprenticed by old Mr Walker.

479
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,672
And he cleverly,
calculatedly, bit by bit,

480
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,837
indulged and degraded Sam Stead
with gambling and drink,

481
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,190
and the lad was too feckless
to know any better.

482
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,309
Why would you do that?

483
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,510
He did it to cause
as much misery and humiliation

484
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,868
to the Walkers as he could.

485
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,479
- That's...
- I know.

486
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:58,309
All that anger, it's so rich.

487
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,913
Anyway, if we're writing novels,
I imagine we'll need more paper.

489
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:12,751
Of course we're not going to use
our real names.

490
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,199
But must they be men's names?

it's what he's written that's judged.

When a woman writes something,
it's her that's judged.

493
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,268
We must select the poems we want to use,

494
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,951
and then, yes, if we're to be taken
seriously and judged fairly

495
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,390
and make anything resembling a profit,

496

that are neither men's nor women's?

00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,035
I reached home a little after two
o'clock all safe and right yesterday.

501
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,435
Emily and Anne
were gone to Keighley to meet me.

502
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:40,149
Unfortunately I had returned by the old
road while they were gone by the new,

503
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,271
and we missed each other.

504
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,952
- I'm back home.
- Ah, Charlotte.

505
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:02,908
Miss Bronte.

506
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:05,234
Mr Nicholls.

507
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,517
I went into the room where Branwell was
to speak to him.

508
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,790
It was very forced work to address him.

509
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,559
I might have spared myself the trouble,
as he took no notice...

510
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:26,669
Branwell.

511
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,358
... and made no reply.

512
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,515
Branwell.

513
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,995
He was stupefied.

514
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:40,428
What's this?

515
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,630
Branwell, what's this?

516
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,637
That's for you.

517
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,752
I opened it by mistake.
It said "Esquire".

518
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,152
Give me that.

519
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:51,998
Proof pages.

520
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,396
How much are you paying 'em
for the privilege of being published?

521
00:38:55,520 --> 00:39:00,230
I assume you're paying them.
I assume you've all clubbed together.

522
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,793
I assume they're not paying you, hm?

523
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,911
You've been sick.

524
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,589
I didn't confirm or deny.
I made no reply.

525
00:39:13,720 --> 00:39:16,917
I don't care about him knowing we're
paying them. It's a means to an end.

526
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,031
I care about him
talking to people about us.

527
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,230
Where's he got the money from
to get into that state?

528
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,476
He screwed a sovereign
out of Papa yesterday.

529
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,875
He claimed to have some pressing matter
and Papa said no.

530
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,434
Next thing you know, he's given it
to him, God knows how or why,

531
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:30,835
and he's trotting off
to get it changed at the Black Bull.

532
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,997
Perhaps when he's sober he'll not even
remember he's seen our proof sheets.

533
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:35,314
I'll write to Aylott and Jones

534
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,432
and ask them to address their
correspondence differently in future.

535
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,074
Was he angry, Branwell?

536
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,555
What can we do?
We can't include him the way he is now.

537
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,717
He's unmanageable.
We'd never get anything agreed or done.

538
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,752
And anyway, why would Northangerland
want to publish with his sisters?

539
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,678
Well, he certainly couldn't afford
to contribute to the costs.

540
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:54,756
We're doing the right thing, Anne.

541
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,110
It's hard, it's tough, but, I'm sorry,

542
00:39:57,240 --> 00:39:58,912
he'd drag us down with him
if we let him.

543
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,391
Right, come on, you big oaf.

544
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,475
That way. Shift.

545
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,271
Hello, Joe.

546
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,520
Well, I never.

547
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,312
Eh?

548
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,035
How you doing, lad?

549
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,914
I've resolved this morning to...
keep myself busy.

550
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:31,989
Good.

551
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,318
Good. Me too.

552
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,840
I thought I would go and see
John Frobisher.

553
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,838
I thought I might write something
to set to music and he'd be the man.

554
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,713
He... And he's still here, isn't he,
at the church?

555
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,512
So far as I know, yeah.

556
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,029
Have you not thought any more
about going abroad?

557
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,913
Not... No.

558
00:41:55,880 --> 00:42:00,396
I haven't seen any vacancies,
at least nothing, you know...

559
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,750
Not with the way
things are at the moment.

560
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,911
How are things at home?

561
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,828
Ah.

562
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,794
It's like living with people who don't
speak the same language as I do.

563
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,435
Honestly, Joe,
I could be with some tribe

564
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,235
from some far-flung corner of the globe
for all I have in common with them.

565
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,999
They despise me, and I...

566
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:32,073
I only live there
because I'm such a fucking pauper.

567
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,635
They need to get married, those three.

568
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,831
Only who'd have 'em?

569
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,951
Who'd have any of us?

570
00:42:43,720 --> 00:42:45,870
What a ridiculous set we've become.

571
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,229
And we used to be
quite a nice little family.

572
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,069
She... She does love me,
you know, Joe, Lydia.

573
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,915
Yeah, well...

574
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,031
You know, I don't know.

575
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,551
I wasn't there. I can't say.

576
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,230
I know everyone thinks I'm... God knows.

577
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,112
But if you saw her,
if only for a moment,

578
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:28,719
you'd get it, you'd see.

579
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,558
What would I see?

580
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,719
That she's the kind of woman
that can change a man's life,

581
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:35,909
his whole everything.

582
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,759
You've gotta look forward, though, eh?
Not back.

583
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,031
We've talked about this.

584
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,635
Am I boring you, Leyland?

585
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,910
No, lad, no, you're not boring me.

586
00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:58,315
- I worry that you're kidding yourself.
- Eh?

587
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,954
Awoman her age, in her position...

588
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,348
My only hope is that he'll be dead soon
and I'll be asked back.

589
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,392
EMILY: Hello.

590
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,672
Hello.

591
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,152
Look.

592
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,391

00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,554
We're so tiny, really... aren't we?

598
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,717
So... So unimportant.

00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:20,831

There's a fella in t' Black Bull
looking for thee.

- Who?
- He says he's from Thorp Green.

- Is there a fella looking for me?
- Aye, he's through there.

- Someone's dead.
- Mr Robinson.

616
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:20,429
He passed away
three weeks this last Tuesday.

617
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,073
Did you not know?

618
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,599
No. How could I?

619
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:27,993
Well, it's been in t' papers.

620
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,759
We don't get the York papers.

621
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:56,239
You're advised... to stay away.

622
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,479
Does she not... want me to go to her?

623
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,591
- She didn't say that.
- No, it isn't her.

624
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:18,829
It's Mr Evans, one of the trustees
of Mr Robinson's will.

625
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,236
Apparently he's said if he sees you,
he'll shoot you.

626
00:48:26,720 --> 00:48:30,952
- Did he send you?
- No. No. She did.

627
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,079
She was concerned you might turn up

628
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:38,796
and Mr Evans might feel obliged
to do as he's threatened.

629
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:47,276
But as well as that, you should know,
by the terms of the will,

630
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,914
that if she marries again,

631
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,555
she'll forfeit any right
to her husband's fortune.

632
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:56,233
What?

633
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,672
Every penny... and the house.

634
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,552
She, um...

635
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,674
She asked me not to tell you
how wretched she is.

636
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,315
You'd not recognise her, Mr Bronte.

637
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,354
She's worn herself out these past
few months in attendance upon him.

638
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,471
And then the last few days
before his death,

639
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:36,153
his manner was so mild,
so... conciliatory.

640
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:42,874
It's a pity to see her
kneeling at her prayers in tears.

641
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:47,472
I suppose we can only guess
at what torments of conscience

642
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:52,993
she might be going through... now.

643
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,353
But she sent you.

644
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,072
Hmm.

Mr Bronte...

646

00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,836

648
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,115

00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,229
it's never going to happen, Mr Bronte.

653
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:41,638
Do you understand?

654
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,674

- Mr Brown!
- What do you want, you little bugger?

658
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,399
You've to come. Mr Thomas
at t' Black Bull says you've to come.

659
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,830
- Now what?
- God knows.

- There were a fella here and...
- Paddy? Come on, lad.

661
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,197
- I thought I'd best send for thee.
- What's up?

- The state he's in...
- No, you've done right.

- Nothing I do works.

Why are we going up here?

669
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,479
- It's where you live.
- I don't wanna go home.

670
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,149
- I don't wanna go home.
- Well, where d'you want to go, then?

672
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,751
I think meself
you'd be better off at home.

673
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,714
No. No. I need to go to Thorp Green,
John. I need to go to Thorp Green.

674
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,992
Fair enough, but not just now,
not today, not in this state.

675
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,112
BRANWELL: Yes, in this state.
This is the right state.

676
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,268
Well, you can. I can't, obviously.

677
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,631
It's two o'clock in the afternoon.
I've to get to work.

678
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,914
Ah, Mr Nicholls. He's...

679
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,956
He's had a bad do.
He's had a bit of bad news.

680
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,191
Down you go.

681
00:52:47,720 --> 00:52:49,711
Nearly there.

682
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:57,752
- Careful.
- Nearly there.

- BRANWELL: Get off me!

685
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,277
- NICHOLLS: Please keep your voice down.
- BRANWELL: Shut up! I hate you!

686
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:09,075
Don't tell me to calm down
in my own house! I will kill you!

687
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,475
- Get your hands off me!
- NICHOLLS: Calm down.

688
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:15,115
Don't tell me to calm down.
I don't want you telling me anything.

689
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,359

690
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,835
Nothing wrong with me.

691
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:23,915
Look at 'em all looking at me.

692
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:31,276
You're always looking at me
with your stupid, empty faces!

693
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:37,155
Just please stop looking at me! Stop!

694
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,880
And him. Him.

695
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,913
What do you want, huh?
You've had everything.

696

You've had everything you're getting.

Will you just stand there
staring at me all the time?

698
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,034
Come on.

I feel sick.

Come on. Up we go.

- Sorry.

711
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:01,671
CHARLOTTE: Dear Ellen.

712
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,872
We have been somewhat more harassed
than usual lately.

713
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,560
The death of Mr Robinson
has served Branwell for a pretext

714
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,035
to throw all about him
into hubbub and confusion.

715
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,036
He has become intolerable.

716
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,276
To Papa he allows rest
neither day nor night

717
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:17,914
and he is continually
screwing money out of him,

718
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:22,238
sometimes threatening that he will
kill himself if it's withheld from him.

719
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,239
BRANWELL: I need some money.

720
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,591
MR BRONTE: You need to get a situation.
You need to pull yourself together.

721
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:33,757
- Morning, Miss Bronte.
- Thank you.

722
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:37,589
BRANWELL: Are you stupid as well
as blind? There's nothing out there!

723
00:55:37,720 --> 00:55:40,553
Not for someone
who's fit for nothing like me...

724
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:42,716
CHARLOTTE:
He says Mrs Robinson is now insane,

725
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,193
that her mind is a complete wreck,

726
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,039
owing to remorse
for her conduct towards Mr Robinson,

727
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:49,515
whose end, it appears,
was hastened by distress of mind,

728
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,631
and grief for having lost him.

729
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:56,073
I do not know how much to believe
of what he says.

730
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,988
He now declares that he neither can
nor will do anything for himself.

731
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,475
Good situations have been offered
more than once,

732
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:06,751
for which by a fortnight's work
he might have qualified himself,

733
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,269
but he will do nothing except drink
and make us all wretched.

734
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:11,391
BRANWELL: Tell me where it is!

735
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,677
MR BRONTE: There is no more money,
Branwell, not for you.

736
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:20,190
I beg you to recognise that you are ill.

737
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,830
Two reviews, one from the Critic,
one from the Athenaeum,

738
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:36,159
both anonymous but both really...
really quite good, especially about you.

739
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:39,392
"Refreshing, vigorous poetry,

740
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:41,511
no sickly affectations,
no namby-pamby,

741
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,552
no tedious imitations
of familiar strains."

742
00:56:48,720 --> 00:56:50,711
Are... Are they still fighting?

743
00:56:55,640 --> 00:57:00,111
Are you going to be alright
when I go to Manchester with Papa?

744
00:57:00,240 --> 00:57:02,276
It's only three weeks.

745
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:06,279
I'm more concerned about when he comes
back. He'll need rest and quiet, not...

746
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,756
Did you get what you wanted? Yeah, you.
Are you proud of yourself, eh?

747
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,394
Wangling money out of a blind man?
A man practically in his 70s.

748
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,751
- Fuck off.
- Eh, come back here and say that.

749
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,757
Yeah, go on, have a go,
see what happens.

750
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,677
- I haven't time.
- No?

751
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,313
Just the blind and the elderly, is it?

752
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,032
Otherwise I would.

753
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,037
Course you would.

754
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,473
- It's nothing.
- Did he just hit you?

755
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:02,594
Don't make a fuss.

756
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:17,677
I am still aiming to get my story
finished by the end of this week.

757
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:20,758
There's a handful of passages
I'd like to look at again,

758
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:23,269
but then, depending on where
you and Anne are with yours...

759
00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:26,870
Oh, The Professor's finished,
as much as it ever will be.

760
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,115
Perhaps we could aim
to get them off to a publisher

761
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,356
before you set off for Manchester.

762
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:44,469
- Emily.
- Right?

763
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,591
Yep. Straight.

764
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,272
Straight. Straight down.

765
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,599
Emily. Good luck.

766
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:00,349
And you.

767
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,313
- Keep him wrapped up, see?
- MR BRONTE: Are all the bags on?

768
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,670
- Everything's under control, Papa.
- Has she heard?

769
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,791
- Yes, I've heard.
- Emily, Emily.

770
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,359
- You know where the gun is?
- Yes.

771
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,399
- We're all in, thank you.
- Right you are.

772
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:18,432
I'll send you the address
as soon as we know what it is.

773
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:21,391
DRIVER: Walk on.

774
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,870
Branwell doesn't know where the gun is,
does he?

775
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,399
Not any more.

776
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:38,114
Is he still i' bed?

777
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,231
Daft question.

778
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:53,070
You give him no money,
whatever sob stories he comes up with.

779
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,751
Alright?

780
00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,638
He won't hit you.

781
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,274
And if he hits me,
I'll hit him back... harder.

CHARLOTTE: Dear Ellen.
Papa and I came here on Wednesday.

783
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,714
We saw Mr Wilson the oculist
the same day.

784
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,229
He pronounced Papa's eyes
quite ready for an operation

785
01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:24,828
and has fixed next Monday
for the performance of it.

(GROANS)

787
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,995
Think of us on that day, dear Nell.

788
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:32,795
Mr Wilson says we will have to stay here
a month at least.

789
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,036
It will be dreary.

790
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,755
I wonder how poor Emily and Anne
will get on at home with Branwell.

801
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:59,271
of taking a walk that day.

802
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:46,552
Do you think it's wrong to write about
something that's very close to home?

803
01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:48,671
Like what?

804
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:56,514
Awoman forced to abandon her home,
a good, well-off home,

805
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,234
to protect her child and herself

806
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,430
because of a change
in her husband's character

807
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:07,635
when he sinks into...
you know, addictive behaviour,

808
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,269
and then forced to make her own way
in the world.

809
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:13,994
No, I don't think it's wrong.

810
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:16,959
I'd never have invented Hindley

811
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:20,436

such a fine example at home.

- No.

Have you heard him?

814
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,119
BRANWELL:
I see a corpse upon the waters lie

815
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,036
With eyes turned,
swelled and sightless, to the sky,

816
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:54,510
And arms outstretched
To move as wave on wave

817
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,837
Upbears it
in its boundless billowy grave

818
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,913
Not time but ocean
thins its flowing hair,

819
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,236
Decay, not sorrow,
lays its forehead bare

820
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:11,956
lts members move
but not in thankless toil,

821
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,997
For seas are milder
than this world's turmoil;

822
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,909
Corruption robs its lip
and cheeks of red,

823
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,873
But wounded vanity grieves not the dead,

824
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,917
And though those members
hasten to decay,

825
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:31,316
No pang of suffering
takes their strength away

826
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:35,356
With untormented eye
and heart and brain,

827
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:39,439
Through calm and storm
it floats across the main:

828
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,997
Though love and joy
have perished long ago,

829
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,439
lts bosom suffers not one pang of woe,

830
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,710
Though weeds and worms
its cherished beauty hide,

831
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,798
It feels not wounded vanity or pride.

832
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:30,631
Where's you going, lad?

833
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:32,352

838
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,632
Branwell's here.
He's collapsed. He's outside.

839
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:52,388
Branwell.

840
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:55,791
Branwell.

841
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,512
Branwell.

842
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,431
One of you go and fetch Dr Wheelhouse.

843
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:04,552
- Get a cloak on.
- Here, let's get him inside.

844
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:06,998
Branwell, eh?

845
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,358
Come on, son, sit up. There, eh?

846
01:08:11,480 --> 01:08:12,913
Let's get him in the house, come on.

847
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:18,078
- You know where I am.
- Yes, yes.

848
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:21,071
Thank you for coming, Doctor.

849
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,191
There is hope.

850
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,720
He's home, he's back with us,

851
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:34,752
and with nourishment and abstinence

852
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:38,714
and prayer and peace and quiet,

853
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:41,798
we may yet hope for better things.

854
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:47,995
His body has suffered the ravages
of gross neglect and abuse.

855
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,551
Self-inflicted.

856
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:57,438
And I cannot in all conscience
do other than blame that woman,

857
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,836
that sinful, hateful woman...

858
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:05,680
who with her more mature years
and social advantages

859
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:09,031
surely should have shown
better responsibility.

860
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,594
He has come very low,

861
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:18,396
but, you know, sometimes a man
must sink to the bottom

862
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:21,273
before he can turn his life around,

863
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:27,350
and perhaps that's what's happened,
or what's happening here.

864
01:09:27,480 --> 01:09:30,438
- Where's he been?
- ANNE: How's he been living?

865
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,678
- Does he want to abstain?
- Oh, he has to. He has to abstain.

866
01:09:35,800 --> 01:09:38,030
Halifax, I assume. I don't know.

867
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,879
That's where
John's always imagined he was.

868
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,355
Or where John knew damn well he was.

869
01:09:43,480 --> 01:09:46,074
Have you talked to him,
about abstention?

870
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:48,832
Um, he's asleep.

871
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:52,316
It'll only work
if he's determined to do it himself.

872
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,594
Yeah. Well...

873
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:04,359
Anne.

874
01:10:04,480 --> 01:10:06,471
Shh.

875
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:09,995
Anne.

876
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,517
I should have done more at Thorp Green.

877
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:18,394
I should have stopped him. I should have
told someone. I should have...

878
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:24,075
I'm complicit in their sin.

879
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:27,033
- No, you're not.
- You were in an impossible position.

880
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,151
I let it happen.

881
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,269
All I did was leave in the end.

882
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:39,951
I was a coward,
a moral coward before God.

883

889
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,670
There's a fire.

890
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:24,315
- I think I've put it out.
- MR BRONTE: Branwell. Branwell.

891
01:12:24,440 --> 01:12:27,398
Branwell. Branwell, look at me!

892
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:28,509
Branwell!

893
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,631
Delirium tremens.

894
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:35,872
It's when someone who's been drinking
solidly for weeks suddenly stops,

895
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:41,199
either through choice
or, more usually, lack of funds.

896
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:47,198
The body doesn't know how to respond,
so it goes into spasm.

897
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:50,831
Will it happen again?

898
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,075
DOCTOR: With care, no.

899
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:57,875
- But you do need to keep an eye on him.
- Yeah.

900
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,399
DOCTOR: He's lucky.

901
01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:03,229
You could've been sending for
the undertaker this morning, not me.

902
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,112
I think rather than come back in here,

903
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:28,270
he should stay in my bedroom
with me, hm?

904
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:30,038
For the time being.

905
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:50,831
I wrote a rhyme for you.

906
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,195
Did you?

907
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:58,233
Well, I wrote it and I was thinking
about you after I'd written it, so...

908
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,672
It goes... Do you want to hear it?

909
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:06,192
Yes.

910
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,271
It starts... It's, um...

911

No coward soul is mine

No trembler in the world's
storm-troubled sphere

914
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:27,592
I see heaven's glories shine
and faith shines equal

915
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:29,039
Arming me from fear

916
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:31,151
Take your time.

917
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,191
O God within my breast,

918
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,830
O God within my breast,

919
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:42,916
Almighty ever-present deity!

920
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:46,476
Life that in me hast rest

921
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,239
As I, undying life, have power in Thee!

922
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:55,914
Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts,

923
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:58,591
unutterably vain;

924
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:04,992
Worthless as withered weeds
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main,

925
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,111
To waken doubt in one

926
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:13,358
To waken doubt in one
Holding so fast by Thine infinity;

927
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:17,839
So surely anchored on
The steadfast rock of immortality.

928
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,513
With wide-embracing love

929
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:26,068

Changes, sustains, dissolves,
creates and rears

932
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:41,832
Though earth and moon were gone,
And suns and universes ceased to be,

933
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:44,751
And Thou wert left alone,

934
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:49,116
Every existence would exist in Thee.

935
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:53,271
There is not room for Death

936
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,714
Nor atom that his might
could render void

937
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,149
Since Thou art being and breath

938
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,109
And what Thou art
may never be destroyed.

939
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,275

940

- POSTMAN: Currer Bell.

There's no one of that name here.

01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:49,517
POSTMAN: No, I know that, Mr Bronte,
only it's addressed to here, so I...

947
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:51,073
MR BRONTE: That's a mystery.

948
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:54,954
There's no one of that name in
the entire parish as far as I'm aware.

949
01:16:55,080 --> 01:16:57,469
POSTMAN: No, well,
that's why I thought happen a visitor.

950
01:16:57,600 --> 01:17:02,469
MR BRONTE:
No, no, no visitors, not at the moment.

951
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,910

to t' sorting office then.

01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:25,519
- Oh, morning, Miss Bronte.
- Did I hear the name?

956
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:28,678
- Currer Bell?
- Yes.

957
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:31,917
Good. That's not me, obviously.

958
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:36,158
But if I could take it,
I can make sure it reaches him. Him.

959
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,231
You see, Papa, he forgets.

01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:46,478
He's... Uh, Mr Bell,
he's... he's not here.

961
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,910
Um, he was here,
but... but now, he isn't.

962
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,600
So I can forward it to him.
I have his address.

963
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:56,638
It's a funny name, Currer.

964
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,752
I thought happen it were summat to do
wi' Mr Nicholls, Arthur Bell Nicholls.

965
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:03,759
No. No, no, no. That's... It's just...
That's just coincidental.

966
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:05,233
- Can I take?
- Good.

967
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,158
Well, that saves me filling in a docket
back at t' sorting office.

968
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:10,635
I'm much obliged, and so will he be.

Thomas Cautley Newby...

977
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:24,080
is offering to publish
Wuthering Heights and Agnes Grey.

978
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:26,395
His terms are steep,
but he's offering to publish them,

979
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:28,112
which is more than anyone else has done.

980
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,629
- What about The Professor?
- No.

981
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:33,677
- No, he's not offering to publish that.
- Why?

982
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:35,597
So think about
how you want to approach this.

983
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:39,759
No, that's... We should publish them
all together or not at all, surely.

984
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:44,635
That's sentimental.
It's kind, but it's nonsense.

985
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:48,196
This is a solid offer,
not a generous one, as I say, but...

986
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,550
I'll persevere in sending out
The Professor

987
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:52,955
and with the other one
that I've been writing.

988
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:56,152
But in the meantime,
you've got a choice to make. Read it.

989

He's asking for you to provide
an advance of 50 pounds

990
01:20:00,640 --> 01:20:02,358
towards the cost of publication,

991
01:20:02,480 --> 01:20:05,392
but clearly he believes it's viable
or he wouldn't make the offer.

992
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,990
- This is addressed to Currer Bell.
- Yes. That was interesting.

993
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,190
- You didn't?
- Of course not.

994
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,789
I had to... fib.

995
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:19,037
- Fifty pounds.
- ANNE: Perhaps that's normal.

996
01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:23,472
Perhaps whoever undertook to publish it
would ask for an advance of that sort.

997
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:25,556
We're a risk, we're unknown,
despite the poems.

998
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,478
Because of the poems. Two copies sold.

999
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:32,110
You will persist?

01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,236
You'll just have to give me a minute.

1011
01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:39,398
- (KNOCKS)
- MR BRONTE: Yes?

1012
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:48,669
There's a man at the door, Mr Bronte.
Says he's here about an unpaid debt.

1013
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:52,190
Says he's been sent
by a magistrate at Halifax.

1014
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:13,991
Now, then, gentlemen,
how may I help you?

1015
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:15,792
- Mr Patrick Bronte?
- Yes.

1016
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,036
I'm appointed
by the magistrate at Halifax

1017
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:20,720
to collect a debt of 14 pounds,
ten shillings and sixpence

1018
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:23,673
owing to Mr Crowther of
the Commercial Inn, Northgate, Halifax,

1019
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,234
and now outstanding
for a total of eight months.

1020
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:30,035
What's going on?
Branwell, what's going on?

1021
01:22:30,160 --> 01:22:33,835
- Branwell.
- Shift, shift, shift.

1022
01:22:38,960 --> 01:22:41,110
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Not so fast, little fella.

1023
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:44,118
Steady, now.
You don't want me to hurt you.

1024
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:46,918
And you don't wanna hurt me.

1025
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,554
- Cos if you do, there'll be bother.
- Get off me!

1026
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:53,639
I think it must be my son that you want.

1027
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,911
Your son? Right, well,
where is your son, Mr Bronte?

1028
01:22:57,040 --> 01:22:59,508
MAN: I've got him, Mr Riley!

1029
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:03,678
Emily, get him off me! I can't breathe.

1030
01:23:03,800 --> 01:23:06,030
- Stop wriggling. Stop struggling.
- Get him off me!

1031
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,879
I haven't done anything wrong!
You've got the wrong man. Get off me!

1032
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:11,070
What were you legging it for, then,
you little twat?

1033
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:13,714
- Get your hands off me!
- BAILIFF: Are you Patrick Bronte?

1034
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:15,319
MAN: Up.

1035
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:21,317
- Are you Patrick Branwell Bronte?
- Answer the man.

1036
01:23:21,440 --> 01:23:24,159
I have no idea who these people are.

1037
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:28,478
You owe money
to some publican in Halifax,

1038
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:33,151
and if the debt isn't paid,
they'll take you to the debtors' prison.

1039
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,236
You'd best pay up, then, eh?

1040
01:23:38,480 --> 01:23:40,391
Take him.

1041
01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:42,476
What? No.

1042
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:45,239
Papa, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.

1043
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,157
I'm sorry. Charlotte! Emily!

1044
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:51,239
We have money. We have money.
We have money. Please stop them.

1045
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,555
- Please.
- Hang on, boys.

1046
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:04,313
Bring him back.

1047
01:24:04,440 --> 01:24:06,829
If it's alright with you,
my colleagues'll keep hold of him

1048
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:08,951
until I've got the remittance.

1049
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:11,878
I shall require a receipt.

1050
01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:13,991
I shall give you one.

1051
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:49,632
Come on.

1052
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:57,631
It's alright.

1053
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:10,310
CHARLOTTE: Gentlemen, I have received
your communication of the fifth instant

1054
01:25:10,440 --> 01:25:12,237
for which I thank you.

1055
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:15,113
Your objection to the want of
varied interest in "The Professor"is,

1056
01:25:15,240 --> 01:25:17,390
I am aware, not without grounds.

1057
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:20,080
I have a second narrative
in three volumes now completed

1058
01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:22,555
to which I have endeavoured to impart
a more vivid interest

1059
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:24,591
than belongs to "The Professor".

1060
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,269
I send you per rail
a manuscript entitled "Jane Eyre",

1061
01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,630
a novel in three volumes by Currer Bell.

1062
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:48,238
BRANWELL: I keep telling you,
you keep being told,

1063
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:52,069
one day one of us
is not gonna leave that room alive.

1064
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:55,237
I will either kill you
or I will kill myself.

1065
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,157
Do you want me to kill myself, eh?

1066
01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:01,831
Cos if I do, old man, you can rest
assured that you'll have driven me to it

1067
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,838
with your endless prayers
and your drivel.

1068
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:09,431
Can you not understand,
can you not get the idea

1069
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:14,953
that the only, only respite I have
from the misery of my existence

1070
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:18,277
is being allowed
a little bit of something to drink?

1071
01:27:18,400 --> 01:27:20,675
I'm only asking for a shilling,
for God's sake!

1072
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:22,791
MR BRONTE: Just... Just take it.

1073
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:47,354
He'll just go on and on
until he gets what he wants anyway,

1074
01:27:47,480 --> 01:27:49,471
and I just...

1075
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:55,395
I don't always have the energy any more.

1076
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:27,033
I know this is contradicting
what I've said before,

1077
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:32,757
but... my second thoughts are
occasionally better than my first ones.

1078
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:37,070
I think you should tell Papa
about Jane Eyre.

1079
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:41,278
About how successful it's been.

1080
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:43,909
Why?

1081
01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:47,271
I think it would help him to know

1082
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:50,392
that we now seem to have found a means
of supporting ourselves, possibly,

1083
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:53,990
in the event of...
whenever something happens to him.

1084
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:56,995
Why Jane Eyre?

1085
01:28:57,120 --> 01:29:01,716
No, we'll tell him about everything,
but just as a way in.

1086
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:05,636
But then... he'll read it.

1087
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:11,039
Now?

1088
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:16,112
MR BRONTE: Huh?

1089
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:19,871
- Papa?
- Huh?

1090
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:22,636
Have you got a moment?

1091
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:24,751
MR BRONTE: Yeah, quickly.

1092
01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:29,752
I've...

1093
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:32,716
I've... I've been writing a book.

1094
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:35,792
- A book and...
- Well, well.

1095
01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:41,791
- Would you like to read it?
- No, I can't. I don't have time.

1096
01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:46,835
And, you know, your tiny little writing,
I can't see it. But well done.

1097
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:54,796
The thing is, you see, it's published.
It's been published.

1098
01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:59,232
It's a properly published...
It's... It's a book in three volumes.

1099
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:05,997
Well, well.

1100
01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:12,634
Currer Bell. No, he's famous, he's...

1101
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:13,988
No, that's me.

1102
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:17,634
That's you? What's you?

1103
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:21,673
That... I've published
under a pseudonym.

1104
01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:24,515
Currer Bell, you see,
it's the same initials.

1105
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:27,757
And the thing is it's just about
to go into a second edition.

1106
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:30,394
It's sold a lot of copies.

1107
01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:33,954
It's been really
quite unusually successful.

1108
01:31:35,560 --> 01:31:37,994
There's a stage play of it in rehearsal
as we speak

1109
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:42,477
at a theatre in... the Victoria Theatre,
in fact, in London.

1110
01:31:44,040 --> 01:31:48,272
It's been so, um, hugely well received.

1111
01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:52,152
But...

1112
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:55,595
So... you're?

1113
01:31:57,560 --> 01:31:59,755
- You're?
- Yes.

1114
01:31:59,880 --> 01:32:03,953
And I've made money, with the prospect
of making quite a lot more,

1115
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:08,949
and if we... if I continue to work hard

1116
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:12,277
and produce the kind of writing that
people are prepared to pay money for,

1117
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:15,995
then it should furnish us
with a comfortable existence.

1118
01:32:20,440 --> 01:32:22,431
Would you like me to read you
some of the reviews?

1119
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:24,278
Well, I...

1120
01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:27,949
(LAUGHS)

1121
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:29,877
Why have you kept it such a secret?

1122
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:31,797
To protect ourselves.

1123
01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:35,595
We've been accused
of vulgarity and coarseness.

1124
01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:38,188
I've forfeited my right
to be called a member of the fairer sex

1125
01:32:38,320 --> 01:32:39,912
according to Lady Eastlake,

1126
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:42,679
who speculates that Currer Bell
might actually be a woman.

1127
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:43,789
Well...

1128
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:46,434
I'm complicit in the revolutions
throughout Europe.

1129
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:49,950
"We do not hesitate to say
that the tone of mind and thought

1130
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:53,390
which has overthrown authority
and violated every code,

1131
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:55,397
human and divine, abroad,

1132
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:57,954
and fostered Chartism and rebellion
at home,

1133
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:00,469
is that which has also written
Jane Eyre."

1134
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:02,192
Jane Eyre.

1135
01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:05,714
- Why is it vulgar?
- It isn't, Papa.

1136
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:08,991
People are just squeamish
about the truth, about real life.

1137
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:11,714
Our work is clever, it's truthful,

1138
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:15,992
it's new, it's fresh, it's vivid
and subtle and forthright.

1139
01:33:17,440 --> 01:33:20,671
But, more importantly,

1140
01:33:20,800 --> 01:33:24,998
the point is...
we didn't want Branwell to know.

1141
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:29,038
That's first and foremost
why we've kept it a secret.

1142
01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:31,151
It's not that he'd be scathing.
We can stand that.

1143
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:33,191
It's because
it's what he's always wanted to do,

1144
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:35,914
and now it looks less and less likely
that he ever will,

1145
01:33:36,040 --> 01:33:38,759
it'd be like rubbing salt into a wound.

1146
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:41,917
No one can ever know who we are.
We've agreed.

1147
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,718
We didn't want you to worry that
we weren't doing anything with ourselves

1148
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:47,831
because we have been, we are.

1149
01:33:49,440 --> 01:33:52,193
- So who else knows besides me?
- No one.

1150
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:54,197
I've not even told Ellen.

1151
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:55,639
- Tabby?
- No one.

1152
01:33:55,760 --> 01:33:57,557
The publishers don't even know
who we are.

1153
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:01,116
- ANNE: They think we're three men.
- We'd like to keep it that way.

1154
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:02,878
We just wanted you to know.

That's your little sister, Maria.

01:34:17,680 --> 01:34:19,432
Maria was our big sister.

01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:22,517
Yeah. Of course she was.

1160
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:27,711
Of course she was.

BRANWELL: Sunday.

Dear John.

1170
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:27,230
I shall feel very much obliged to you

worth of gin in a proper measure.

Should it be speedily got,

1173

I could perhaps take it
from you or Billy at the lane top

01:35:39,480 --> 01:35:43,155
or, what would be quite as well,
sent out for to you.

1175
01:35:44,240 --> 01:35:47,869
I anxiously ask the favour
because I know the good it will do me.

1176
01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:51,629
Punctually at half past nine
in the morning

1177
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:56,231
you will be paid the five pence
out of a shilling given me then.

1178
01:35:56,360 --> 01:35:58,555
Yours, PBB.

1179
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:30,751
(COUGHS)

1180
01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:50,592
Anne.

1181
01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:20,231
Have you got a minute?

1182
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:32,669
What?

1183
01:37:32,800 --> 01:37:35,394
- We're going to have to go to London.
- Who is?

1184
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:37,511
We are, all three of us.

1185
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:39,949
- When?
- Today.

1186
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:41,638
Why?

1187
01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:51,789
Your... Mr Newby must have,
I don't know,

1188
01:37:51,920 --> 01:37:54,593
sold the first few pages
of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

1189
01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:55,869
to an American publisher

1190
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,434
on the understanding
that it was written by Currer Bell.

1191
01:37:58,560 --> 01:38:00,357
Well, it's obviously a misunderstanding.

1192
01:38:00,480 --> 01:38:08,034
No. Will you please see
that this man is a con man, a rogue?

1193
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:11,470
How... How many mistakes did he print
in Wuthering Heights?

1194
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:14,637
Proofs that you painstakingly corrected
that he ignored. And now this.

1195
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:19,553
My publisher is livid that I could have
sold my next novel to another publisher.

1196
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:21,477
They have first refusal
of my next two novels

1197
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:24,160
and now they think I'm some sort
of unscrupulous double dealer.

1198
01:38:24,280 --> 01:38:29,195
- Well, just write and explain.
- No. No.

1199
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:33,393
We have to go to London and give ocular
proof that we are three separate people,

1200
01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:37,308
the novels are not all the work of one
person and that this is absolute trash.

1201
01:38:37,440 --> 01:38:39,271
Well, I'm not going.

1202
01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:41,434
Why?

1203
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:43,676
Because you can write a letter
and explain all that

1204
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:45,950
and just say
that Newby's made a mistake.

1205
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:48,071
This is not a mistake.

1206
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:51,829
This is a deliberate deceitful attempt
to cash in on the success of Jane Eyre.

1207
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:52,949
Sorry.

1208
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:54,832
- EMILY: It isn't.
- CHARLOTTE: It is.

1209
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:57,599
Newby has made the mistake,
along with a lot of other people,

1210
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:00,029
of assuming that we're all one person,
that is all it is.

1211
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:02,913
Why are you so obtuse?

1212
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:05,110
Why are you so melodramatic?

1213
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:08,152
Emily, I don't want
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

1214
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:12,512
promoted and sold on a deceitful
claim... misunderstanding, whichever,

1215
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:14,073
that it's by anyone other than me.

1216
01:39:14,200 --> 01:39:19,354
We have to go to London... now, today,

1217
01:39:19,480 --> 01:39:22,153
and explain to Mr Smith
and Mr Smith Williams what's happened.

1218
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:24,794
It's intolerable to imagine
they think I could be so slippery.

1219
01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:26,194
But wait, look, you can't.

1220
01:39:26,320 --> 01:39:29,392
You can't go to London and explain
who you are because they will see you.

1221
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:30,839
Well, that's the whole point.

1222
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:33,474
Yes, and you promised, you promised me,

1223
01:39:33,600 --> 01:39:36,353
that we would never
reveal ourselves to anyone ever.

1224
01:39:37,040 --> 01:39:42,194
Well, I'm afraid
because of your... Mr Newby,

1225
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:46,472
we now find ourselves in a situation.

1226
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,398
Emily, I think we should go.

1227
01:39:49,520 --> 01:39:50,919
No, you're not going either.

1228
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:52,234
- No, I am.
- No, you're not.

1229
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:55,397
Newby's compromised my integrity
just as much as Charlotte's.

1230
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:57,556
I shan't publish with him again,

1231
01:39:57,680 --> 01:40:01,434
and if you won't come with us,
then... that's your choice.

1232
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:03,952
We don't need to fall out
about this, Emily.

1233
01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:08,517
It's about your novel and your name.
It's got nothing to do with me.

1234
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,031
Don't be like that, Em...

1235
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:31,271
What's the matter?

1236
01:40:35,200 --> 01:40:36,792
Emily.

1237
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:46,350
Yes, but you do know her bark's
worse than her bite, don't you?

1238

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)

1239

1241
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:13,952
Look.

1242
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:31,119
Could I help you, ladies?

1243
01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:34,792
Yes.

1244
01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:38,472
Yes, I'd...

1245
01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:46,237
We'd like to speak
to Mr George Smith, please.

1246
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:49,511
Mr Smith? Mr Smith's very busy.

1247
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:52,192
Yeah, yes.

1248
01:42:53,320 --> 01:42:56,198
But the thing is, you see,
it's... it's important.

1249
01:42:58,440 --> 01:43:00,032
Can I tell him what it's about?

1250
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:04,551
Just... Just that
it's a matter of importance.

1251
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:10,555
I'll... I'll see what...
I'll see if he's got a minute.

1252
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:13,240
Who should I say is asking to see him?

1253
01:43:13,360 --> 01:43:17,194
It's... That's delicate.

1254
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:18,912
He is a very busy man.

1255
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:21,950
We've been travelling for 17 hours

1256
01:43:22,080 --> 01:43:24,913
and we'll take up
less than one minute of his time.

1257
01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:37,715
- Sir, two ladies asking to see you.
- What ladies?

1258
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:39,592
- Didn't give a name, sir.
- What's it about?

1259
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:42,188
The only thing I could prise out, sir,
is that it's important.

1260
01:43:42,320 --> 01:43:43,639
To me or to them?

1261
01:43:43,760 --> 01:43:46,354
They've asked
for no more than a minute of your time.

1262
01:43:46,480 --> 01:43:49,119
They say they've travelled for 17 hours.

1263
01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:58,956
Ladies, how can I help you?

1264
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:03,549
- Am I addressing Mr George Smith?
- Yes.

1265
01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:07,512
It's a confidential matter.

1266
01:44:18,520 --> 01:44:20,112
We're...

1267
01:44:22,040 --> 01:44:25,157
We're here to address a misunderstanding
which, once accomplished,

1268
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:27,794
will be to everyone's advantage,
yours as much as ours,

1269
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:32,391
and so we apologise for what must be
an interruption to your morning's work.

1270
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:36,555
But perhaps if I gave you this,
it would clarify who we are.

1271
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:44,039
- Where did you get this letter?
- In the post... from you.

1272
01:44:44,160 --> 01:44:46,196
You sent it to me.

1273
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:51,560
I am Currer Bell.

1274
01:44:52,640 --> 01:44:57,156
C Bronte, that's me, and this is
Acton Bell, author of Agnes Grey

1275
01:44:57,280 --> 01:45:01,398
and, the point is, author
of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, not me.

1276
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:06,469
And Ellis couldn't come.
Ellis didn't want to come. Ellis is...

1277
01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:11,628
Anyway, the point is...
we are three sisters.

1278
01:45:12,760 --> 01:45:16,389
I have not sold the first few pages of
my next novel to an America publisher,

1279
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:18,238
as claimed by Mr Thomas Cautley Newby.

1280
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:20,954
That is not my novel. It's Acton's.

1281
01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:25,517
I, Mr Smith, have nothing,
exactly nothing, to do with Mr Newby,

1282
01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:28,632
and nor will my sister now
she has seen him in his true colours.

1283
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:32,639
We are people of...
of integrity and probity

1284
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:36,753
and that is why we are here,
to set matters straight.

1285
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:38,871
Sorry, you're?

1286
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:42,272
You are Currer Bell?

1287
01:45:42,400 --> 01:45:45,073
What makes you doubt it, Mr Smith?

1288
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:47,634
My accent? My gender? My size?

1289
01:45:53,320 --> 01:45:56,630
Oh, good heavens. Oh, good Lord.

1290
01:45:57,720 --> 01:45:59,870
Forgive me. I'm... I'm sorry.

1291
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:03,959
I... I'm sorry too.
We've caught you off-guard.

1292
01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:07,789
You see, we felt it best
to come and see you in person,

1293
01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:09,512
given the tone of your letter.

1294
01:46:09,640 --> 01:46:12,234
I wanted no room left for
any further misunderstanding or doubt.

1295
01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:14,828
That's deeply, deeply appreciated,
Miss...

1296
01:46:14,960 --> 01:46:16,279
- Bronte.
- Bronte. Sorry.

1297
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:18,960
And a great relief, of course.

1298
01:46:19,080 --> 01:46:21,071
Have you really been travelling
for 17 hours?

1299
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:24,237
Through the night.
Such was the tone of your letter that...

1300
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:25,634
You must be exhausted.

1301
01:46:27,480 --> 01:46:29,630
Oddly, Mr Smith,
I feel extraordinarily awake.

1302
01:46:29,760 --> 01:46:30,829
Where are you staying?

1303
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:34,236
We've booked into the Chapter
Coffee House on Paternoster Row.

1304
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:37,477
Our father stayed there briefly
before he went up to Cambridge,

1305
01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:43,152
and my sister and I,
my other sister, Ellis, did once

1306
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:45,077
before we travelled to Brussels.

1307
01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:48,351
You've taken my breath away,
Miss Bronte.

1308
01:46:49,080 --> 01:46:50,798
Oh, you have to meet people.

1309
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:52,638

You have to meet Smith Williams.

of... He was... Of your genius.

01:47:10,600 --> 01:47:14,991
He was... He was the one that...
that read... that read The Professor

1315
01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:19,272
and saw instantly, before Jane Eyre,
which is glorious by the way,

1316
01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:24,758
um, he saw... he saw...
he saw, Miss Bronte...

the whole of London,

about this Mr Newby, though, Mr Smith.

Absolutely, indeed.
It will... He will be dealt with.

come through to my office.

1338
01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:16,429
How are things here?

1339
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:22,032
Oh, well, we've had sad work
with Branwell. But other than that...

1340
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:24,515
Good. Good.

1341
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:34,877
You're the last person in the world
I want to fall out with.

1342
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:37,232
I know.

1343
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:50,634
We only told Mr Smith
and Mr Smith Williams.

1344
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:53,228
Well, and Newby later. No one else.

1345
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:56,238
And we made it clear that
they hadn't to tell anyone else either.

1346
01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:59,830
They took us to the Royal Opera House,
Mr Smith and Mr Smith Williams did,

1347
01:49:59,960 --> 01:50:01,837
with Mr Smith's mother and his sisters,

1348
01:50:01,960 --> 01:50:03,951
and us with nothing to wear
but what we'd gone in.

1349
01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:05,354
They'd no idea who we were.

1350
01:50:05,480 --> 01:50:08,597
Heaven alone knows
what they must have thought about us.

1351
01:50:10,920 --> 01:50:12,512
He's...

1352
01:50:14,680 --> 01:50:16,272
What?

1353
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:22,156
Branwell. He's been vomiting blood.

1354
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:36,715
CHARLOTTE: Dear Ellen.

1355
01:50:36,840 --> 01:50:39,832
I received your letter informing us of
the time of your arrival in Keighley

1356
01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:40,949
with great delight.

1357
01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:43,674
Emily and Anne anticipate
your long-delayed visit

1358
01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:45,199
as eagerly as I do myself.

1359
01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:49,152
We will be outside the Devonshire Arms
promptly at two o'clock.

1360
01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:51,271
Wishing you
a safe and comfortable journey.

1361
01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:53,994
MAN: Everyone for Keighley.

1362
01:50:57,320 --> 01:50:58,594
Ellen.

1363
01:50:58,720 --> 01:51:00,312
Charlotte.

1364
01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:03,478
Emily.

1365
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:05,477
- Anne.
- Miss Nussey.

1366
01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:08,239
- Which one's your box? Is it this one?
- Yes, just that one there.

1367
01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:10,510
- How was your journey?
- Long, tiresome.

1368
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:13,791
- We haven't seen you for so long.
- I know. I've missed you.

1369
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:15,911
- Shall we go?
- Yes.

1370
01:51:26,200 --> 01:51:29,875
CHARLOTTE: I realised we'd delay your
visit forever if we weren't careful,

1371
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:32,195
and he's so quiet now.

1372
01:51:32,320 --> 01:51:34,880
We barely see him during the day.
He just sleeps.

1373
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:38,629
I think more people have crosses to bear
than we realise,

1374
01:51:38,760 --> 01:51:41,797
on the domestic side, on the quiet.

1375
01:51:43,880 --> 01:51:46,553
The oddest thing, I think I told you,

1376
01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:50,309
the Robinson girls, you know
the youngest two, Elizabeth and Mary,

1377
01:51:50,440 --> 01:51:54,752
they started writing to Anne about
six months after their father died.

1378
01:51:55,920 --> 01:51:59,310
I mean, they're very fond of Anne,
more than she imagines.

1379
01:51:59,440 --> 01:52:05,788
Then they wanted to visit, here,
so we let them and they came last week.

1380
01:52:05,920 --> 01:52:08,878
Of course,
Branwell knew nothing about it.

1381
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:10,069
What were they like?

1382
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:16,469
Oh, you know, pretty, vacuous,
nonstop yack, yack, yack.

1383
01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:21,397
Emily popped her head in, purely
to satisfy her own curiosity, of course,

1384
01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:24,512
and then after approximately
four seconds withdrew.

1385
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:27,518
One of the few occasions
I've really enjoyed her surliness.

1386
01:52:27,640 --> 01:52:35,593
Anyway, the point is, they told us
last week... that their mother...

1387
01:52:37,400 --> 01:52:39,118
What?

1388
01:52:42,600 --> 01:52:45,990
...is going to marry Sir Edward Scott.

1389
01:52:46,760 --> 01:52:51,834
So much for contrition and guilt and
madness and clauses in people's wills.

1390
01:52:51,960 --> 01:52:54,110
He's been very sadly used, Branwell.

1391
01:52:55,760 --> 01:52:57,557
You didn't tell him?

1392
01:52:57,680 --> 01:52:59,671
What purpose would it serve?

1393
01:53:01,440 --> 01:53:03,192
I'm sorry to inflict all this on you,
Ellen.

1394
01:53:03,320 --> 01:53:06,392
Charlotte, I'm your oldest friend.

1395
01:53:07,400 --> 01:53:09,197
You can tell me anything, you know that.

1396
01:53:10,600 --> 01:53:11,715
Look.

1397
01:53:16,080 --> 01:53:17,991
What is that? That's extraordinary.

1398
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:20,111
It's three suns.

1399
01:53:20,720 --> 01:53:22,312
Well...

1400
01:53:23,240 --> 01:53:25,231
What is it? It's beautiful.

1401
01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:27,834
It's you three.

1402
01:53:55,400 --> 01:53:57,709
You can go now.

1403
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:19,036
You'll have to sit him up
to get his shirt off.

1404
01:55:32,400 --> 01:55:34,391
(SOBS)

1405
01:56:15,840 --> 01:56:18,308
YOUNG CHARLOTTE: Tis a shame
you're embarked on this course

1406
01:56:18,440 --> 01:56:19,953
of myopic self-destruction!

1407
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:22,435
YOUNG BRANWELL:
I despise everything you stand for.

1408
01:56:22,560 --> 01:56:27,998
Revolution is in the air, and only
a fool like you, sir, would ignore it.

1409

(WOMAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)

1410
01:57:08,160 --> 01:57:13,029
This is the famous dining room table at
which the sisters used to sit and write.
