All language subtitles for Suffragette .English

Women do not have
the calmness of temperament

or the balance of mind

to exercise judgment
in political affairs.

If we allow
women to vote,

it will mean the loss
of social structure.

Women are well represented
by their fathers,

brothers, husbands.

Once the vote
was given, it would be
impossible to stop at this.

Women would then demand
the right to becoming MPs,

cabinet ministers, judges.

Maud, take this
up the West End.

It's meant to be
there by 6:00.

Delivery should have
picked it up.

Votes for women!

Votes for women!

Votes for women!

Victory will be ours!

Votes for women!

Deeds not words!

Votes for women!

ls George sleeping?

Yeah.

Mrs. Garston fed him
bread and jam.

Are you all right?
It's late.

Taylor sent
me up to town.

Have a look.

It's nothing.

I got caught in a scuffle.

There were loads of
those women shouting.

Broke all the windows
along the West End.

I'll
deliver that package
for you in the morning.

MAUD'. Ta.

You coming to bed?

I'm just gonna
get this done.

Arms up.

Arms up.

- Here, give rne that.
- You're never gonna get it on.

Give us a foot, then.

All right, dear.
Ta, Mrs. Garston.

Oh, come here. Be good.

Right, come on,
youlot

Oi, Mrs. Miller!

Mrs. Miller.

- Don't you ignore me.
- Sorry, Mr. Taylor.

Late again.
Oh, I'm barely late.

It's only just
gone the hour.
Shut your mouth.

You listen to me.

That's the second time
you've been late and you've
only been here three weeks.

I ain't been late...
Don't answer me back,

- Mrs. Miller. I'm telling you.
- I'm sorry.

Do you want me
to dismiss you,
is that it?

No, no, Mr. Taylor.
No, sir, I don't.

And I won't be late
tomorrow nor the day
after that, I swear.

Well, you'll pull
your finger out.

Drive belt's loose again.

It was checked
on Friday, Maud.

I can smell burning.
I'd check 'em all.

Bert! Get your toolbox.

Check the drive belt
on the machine.

Will do, boss.

Ta.

We meet Mondays
and Thursdays
if you're interested.

The Ellyns' pharmacy.

Here, Maud.

That package get to
Buckley's yesterday?

George had
his chest again.

Sonny took it up
for me this morning.

You ready?

This is my eldest.

Maggie.
Hello, Maggie.

It is men
who have all legal rights
over our children.

It is men who control
our economic existence.

Who's that?

MP's wife,
Mrs. Haughton.

She's here at Christmas
giving out tangerines
to the children.

And the Prime Minister,
Mr. Asquith, has agreed
to a hearing

of testimonies of
working women up
and down the country.

We have an opportunity
to demonstrate

that as women
are equal to men
in their labors,

so they should be equal to men
in their right to vote.

You've never labored
in your life.

This is
your moment to come
forward and speak up,

and I will choose one person
from this laundry

to deliver their testimony
at the House of Commons.

These will be heard
by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, Mr. Lloyd George.

No one cares, love.

Some of us do,
Mrs. Coleman,

so shut your
bleedin' cake hole.

Thank you for your support.
Votes for women.

Ladies, votes for women.
The power is in your hands.

Thank you, ladies.
Oh, go home.

Votes for women.
Thank you.

Mummy! Mummy!

Hello, kids.
Give me half a mo.

Are you gonna give
your testimony, then?

Mr. Taylor's
a good employer.

To you he is.

Takethatback.
I can't take back
\~hatlsee.

You've been here
less than a month.

And?

I've been doing
laundry work
ever since I was 13.

Maggie's only 12
and she's in here already.

It's as tough
for us women as
it's ever been.

We've gotta do
whatever we can,
however we can.

What, like
smashing windows?

It's not respectable.

Strangle what's
respectable.

You want me
to respect the law?

Then make the
law respectable.

So, Georgie,
Georgie, this is six.

Yeah.

You're ready?
You're watching?

You got yours?

You see Mrs. Haughton today?

Wants some of the women
to go to Parliament.

She thinks we should
be paid more.

On her high horse again.

Say good-night
to the king, George.

Good-night, sir.

Good boy.

Come on.

Now, young sir,
can you give me a
big breath in, please?

Oh, good boy.

And out.

And now another
big one, please.

And a big breath out.

Good boy.

And a big breath in.

Oh, yes, here
comes the 11:00

just passing
through the tunnel.

Good. It's on time.

Uh...

He's all right.

Good boy.

You a suffragette,
Mrs. Ellyn?
Yes.

But I consider myself
more of a soldier, Mrs. Watts.

These women's testimonies
make a difference?

Maybe, but as
Mrs. Pankhurst says,

"it's deeds not words
that will get us the vote."

Make up a combination.

Now, George, do you
like barley sugar?

Afternoon.

Are the
others here yet?

Uh. no, not yet,
but you can go through.

Plenty of steam,

a couple of drops
in the water,
twice daily.

Keep him warm.

No, no. No charge.

Goodbye.
Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Ellyn.

Mrs. Watts.

Come on, let's
get you wrapped up.

Superintendent Burrill.
Mr. Haughton.

Thank you for
coming here. This is...

Inspector Steed.
Benedict Haughtcn,
Home Office.

I'm reliably informed
that you have
considerable experience

of surveillance
within Special Branch.

I've gathered intelligence
on various anarchists, sir,

including Fenian agitators
in Liverpool and Manchester.

I can show you.

Employment of these
cameras would be the first
of its kind in the country.

They're considerably
more advanced than
anything we've used before.

Thank you.

Compact enough
to be used
without a tripod.

It means we can
operate them covertly
on the streets.

Right, let's start with
Mrs. Edith Ellyn.

Chief Commandant.
She's clever.

Been arrested nine times,
incarcerated four.

She's educated,
without scruples.

Makes her
particularly dangerous.

It's worth noting
herhusband,

Mr. Hugh Ellyn, pharmacist.

He's been incarcerated
twice for abetting
his wife's activities.

Fully paid-up member
of the Men's League.

This is an old hand,
Mrs. Violet Miller.

She moves around a lot.

Been arrested a number
of times, incarcerated twice.

Spits out children.
Husband's a violent drunk.

She agitates,
gets her hands dirty.

They'll be using
her zeal to recruit,

to justify the unjustifiable.

Now, who's this here?

Um, Watts, Maud Watts.

Not seen her before.

There's
a good girl. Come on.

- No! Get Off.
- Shh...

It'll be all right.
It'll be all right.

Get off.
You know what I like.

What?

Get back to work.
Go on, get out there.

What did you want, Maud?

Fourteen short
on soap paddles.

Why don't you
tell acquisitions
if we're short, eh?

I don't want a slip-up
like that to happen again,
do you hear?

She reminds me
of you at that age.

Ha.

Oi, Mrs. Miller,
I heard a whisper
you've been chosen

to deliver your testimony
to Mr. Lloyd George.

Tomorrow.

Leave the vote to us
men, eh, Mrs. Miller?

And we'll leave you
to the home.

I've already
made up the hours.

I worked late
Tuesday and Thursday.

And Maggie will
mop up any extra.

Why don't you
tell Mr. Miller

I'll give you a olip round
the ear and knock some
sense into you if he won't.

Yeah, me an' all.
Do her some good, eh?

Violet.

I'll come with you tomorrow,

hear you speak.

Maud,
what you doing?

I'm just gonna listen.

Deeds not words!
Deeds not words!

Violet.

Where were you?
We waited and...

Violet.

It's nothing.
I'm all right.

Mrs. Haughton's inside.

Well, come on, then.

Mrs. Miller is
unfortunately indisposed...

Mrs. Miller.

Oh, my dear.

Glasshouse Laundry next.

Sheffield Weavers' Union,
please be ready.
You'll be straight after.

You cannot deliver your
testimony like this.

Deputations
will be heard one by one.

I'm fine.

No, Mrs. Miller, you're not.

Lloyd George
will dismiss you
and all you say.

Glasshouse Laundry.

Maud.

You speak for me.

I can't.

It is written down.
No, I'm not.

I'm not good at...
All you'd have
to do is read it.

Please ask someone else.

Oh, there'll be someone else
who can do it
better than I oan.

You can tell them. Please.
We have no time.

Glasshouse Laundry. Please.
Violet.

You can do this.
No.

You can do it.
You tell them.

Good luck, Maud.

Shall you begin, Mrs. Miller?

Watts.

It's Mrs. Watts, sir.

Mrs. Miller isn't able to...

I have her testimony.

You work at the
Glasshouse Laundry
in Bethnal Green, too?

I was born there.

Then I should
like to hear your testimony.

I don't know what to say.

Your mother worked
at the laundry?

From when she was 14.

She'd strap me on her back,
or under the copper vats
if I'd sleep.

All the women did it
who had babies then.

Your employer allowed that?

He'd have you back
as soon as you could.

He?

Mr. Taylor.

And does your mother
still work at the laundry?

She died when I was four.

I see.

Vat tipped, scalded her.

What of your father?

Don't know him.

And you've worked
for Mr. Taylor...

Part-time from
when I was seven.

Full-time from when I was 12.

Don't need much schooling
to launder shirts.

I was good at collars,
steaming the fine lacing.

Got the hands for it.

I was made head washer at 17,

forewoman at 20.

Twenty-four now, so...

You're young
for such a position.

Laundry work's
a short life
if you're a woman.

And why is that?

You get your aches
and your chest cough,
crushed fingers.

Leg ulcers, burns,

headaches from the gas.

We had one girl
last year poisoned.

Can't work again.
Ruined her lungs.

And your Pay?

We get 13 shillings
a week, sir.

For a man, it's 19

and we work a third
more the hours.

They're outside most days
on deliveries, so at least
they're in the fresh air.

What would the vote
mean to you, Mrs. Watts?

I never thought
we'd get the vote,

so I've never thought about
what it would mean.

So why are you here?

The thought that we might...

That this life...

That there's another way
of living this life.

Sorry. My words... I'm not...

No, no.

The finest eloquence

is that which gets
things done.

Thank you,
Mrs. Watts.

I believe we have
all that down.

We shall have
a response for you
very soon.

An amendment to the bill
might just force the change

towards the vote.

Thank you, sir.

Can we please have
Sheffield Weavers' Union?

You've been drinking.

Just a brandy.

Mrs. Haughton
treated us.

Mrs. Haughton can afford it.

I spoke, Sonny.

I thought you was
just gonna listen.

Violet couldn't,
so they asked me.

I was just gonna say
what she would have said,

but then he asked me
if I worked at the
laundry as well

and I just
started talking.

To Mr. Lloyd George.

If we got the vote...

What would you
do with it, Maud?

I'd do the same you do
with yours, Sonny.

Exercise my rights.

Exercise your rights?

You a suffragette now,

one of those Panks?

No.

Well, Mrs. Miller is.

You know how
they like to talk.

You spend your time with her,
that's what they'll call you.

I'm only looking out
for you, Maud.

I know.

It's all I've ever done.

Oi, Maud.
Violet.

Mrs. Ellyn's invited
you to tea.

Has she?
Yeah.

She says you've
gone and woken up the
dinosaurs of Westminster.

Where are Mr. Ellyn's
certificates?

Hmm? Oh, he hasn't any.

His father passed
the business to him,

but he never really
took to chemistry.

I actually wanted
to become a doctor.

My father didn't approve.

I'm still good
at diagnosis.

So you married.

Twenty-three
years now.

I had hoped that
one day it might have

read "Ellyn & Daughters."

One must look
to the next generation.

I hear you spoke well.

I was thinking
we could take him to the
seaside this summer.

Don't go drinking champagne
on beer money, Maud.

Arms up.

We'll go to the
pictures Friday.

- Give it. Give it.
- Come here.

Oi, Mrs. Miller,
bet you wish
you were a man.

Yeah, bet you wish
you were an' all.
Saucy cow.

Come on here.

Wish us luck.

Luck'd be you'd
stop this now,

go to work.

Go on.
Off you go.

You ready?
Yeah.

Here you are, Maud.

You gotta look
the part, ain't you?

Shout, shout,
up with your song

Cry with the wind for
the dawn is breaking

March, march, swing you along

Wide blows our banner
and hope is waking

Can you see
anything?

They haven't
opened the doors yet.

Is it him?

The Prime Minister
duly reviewed

all the women's testimonies.

After careful debate,

with a number of MPs
very sympathetic

to the women's cause,

it was carried

that there was
not the evidence

to support any change
to the suffrage bill.

What?

No votes for women,
then, sir?

No, no votes.

But Mr. Lloyd George listened.
He took it all down.

- Sham. Sham. It's a sham!
- Liar!

Liar! Liar!

Liar!
Liar!

Liar!

Shame on you, sir!
Shame on you!

VVCDIVIAN 12 Liar!
We told
you everything!

Liar!

Go on, now.
You've had your fun.

Get back!

Move back, now. Come on.

Go home!

You won't push me
back anymore!

Violet!

Hey, leave her alone!
Leave her alone!

Oh!

Unhand me!

- No! No!
- Leave her!

Get in there!

Get in there!

Let gm!

Let go of my arm.

Good afternoon, Officer.
Benedict Haughton.
We spoke on the phone.

- How much is bail, please?
- £2, sir.

No, Benedict,
you must bail
all of the women.

I cannot be the
only one to go free.

Benedict,
please.
IVIR. HAUGHTONI I will not.

- How much is the sum?
- £2 each.

£12 to release
all the women.

Please sign it.

It's my money.
It's my money.

But you're my wife
and you'll act like a wife.

I have humored you,
Alice, thus far,

but this is an outrage.

Thank you.

Come on.

I have to fetch
my son by 6:00.

I'm late.
He'll need his tea.

You won't be home
for tea.

Would you like me to contact
your husband, Mrs. Watts?

I picked up a
suffragette last week...

I'm not a suffragette.

Rough little diamond.

In her bloomers, three bricks.

Works for Mrs. Pankhurst
directly.

I asked her
why she does it.

She said it makes
her life worth something.

She's just
the hod carrier.

I'm not a suffragette.

I'm glad.

You know,

they say the way
certain types of women

have been acting
these past few months

gives a good deal
of color to the argument

that the mental equilibrium
of the female sex is less
than that of the male's,

but I don't agree.

There's no madness in it.

They know exactly
what they're doing.

But my opinion
doesn't matter.

My job is to enforce
the law, Mrs. Watts.

So I'm going to give you
some advice now

and I sincerely hope
you take it.

You'll serve
your time now.

At worst, you'll
get a week.

Then you go home
to your husband.

They lied to us.

They didn't lie.

They promised nothing,
they gave nothing.

Coat

One set of stockings.
Hole, right foot.

Don't be alarmed, Maud.
Stay calm.

We're political prisoners.
We have the right
to wear our own clothes.

Arms up.

We have the right.

Sorry, Georgie.

Oi. Your wife is a
fucking disgrace, Sonny.

You should be keeping
her under control.

Police are bringing
these bitches to their knees.

At least Maud'll
be used to that.

Sylvia, keep moving.

Come on, Maud.

She's missing her boy.

We all get separated
from those we love, Maud.

My mother.
As a child, I barely saw her.

She worked day and night,

fighting for me
to be educated
as my brother was.

But that didn't come
without a sacrifice.

There's Emily.

She's done more time in here
than any of us.

She's on hunger strike.
Mmm.

Orders from
Mrs. Pankhurst are
we're to follow.

If they will not accept us
as political prisoners,

we will strike until they do.

Not Maud.

It's her
first time, Edith.

Emily.
Violet.

We got a new member.
This is Maud.

Welcome, Maud.

Faster, move.

Hugh.

Thank you.

Welcome, Mrs. Watts.
Please, come with us.

I've gotta go.
I've gotta see my son.

Everyone gets one
their first time, Maud.

For your first incarceration.

Thanks.

Mrs. Miller, the escalation
of violence from the police

will be met with force.

You'll receive word.

Are they in?

Mrs. Garston?

Sonny?

How's George?
Shh! He's asleep.

Oh, I'm sorry, Sonny.

Sonny, I tried to get back
as quickly as I could

but they kept me there...

I can't look at you.

You don't know
what they did to us.
Us?

What's it done
to me and George?

I've had the police 'round.

I said I didn't
know anything.

Got the whole
street whispering.

I covered for you to Taylor,
but he knew.

Won't happen again.

Mama.

My darling.

Get back to bed.

Go on, darling.
I'll be there in a minute.

- Now.
- Go on, darling.

Have you eaten?

Mrs. Garston did her best.

I'll make you some tea.

I waited and waited for you
until it was almost dawn.

I was praying for you
to come home.

I'm back now.

You won't ever shame me
like that again.

Go on,
on your way.
I've had enough of you.

You've been nothing
but trouble since
you got here.

I'll see you at home, pet.

Don't worry. It's fine.

Votes for women!

Oh, well,
clear off!

Hello, Maud.

Nice to see you're
feeling better.

Sonny tells me
you've not been well.

It's all right, you know.

I've found someone else
willing to make up the hours.

Mum.

You wait for me, will you?
I won't be long. Maud.

Violet.

There's a big
gathering on Friday.

They're saying
she's to speak.

I've gotta go.

I can't.

You can't not.

If we'd had a girl,
what would we have called her?

Margaret.

After my mother.

What kind of life
would she have had?

Same as yours.

I'm working late tonight.

Intelligence
confirms a growing
intention to retaliate.

They're putting
their strategy in place.

Our contact in
Lewisham tells us

Mrs. Pankhurst is
to give an address.

When?
Any day now.

We don't know where yet,

but I'm sure our
East London ladies
will lead us there.

Emily.
Maud.

It's good to
see you again.

You've heard her
speak before?

Many times.
She's without fear.
Emily.

Edith's waiting for us.
You made it, then.

Edith.
Good. You're here.
We must hurry.

It'll be the first time
she's appeared for months.

They'll be on
alert to arrest her.

Good luck,
Mrs. Pankhurst.
We all support you.

Good luck,
Mrs. Pankhurst.
Thank you.

Votes for women!

My friends, in spite
of His Majesty's government,

lam here tonight.

I know the sacrifice
you have made to be here.

Many of you, I know,

are estranged from
the lives you once had,

yet I feel
your spirit tonight!

Yes! Bravo!

For 50 years,

we have labored peacefully
to secure the vote for women.

We have been ridiculed,
battered and ignored.
Yes.

Now we have realized
that deeds and sacrifice

must be the order of the day.

We are fighting
for a time in which

every little girl
born into the world

will have an equal chance
with her brothers.

Never underestimate
the power we women have

to define our own destinies.

We do not want
to be law breakers.

We want to be law makers.

Be militant, each of you
in your own way.

Those of you
who can break windows,

break them.

Those of you who can
further attack

the sacred idol of property,
do so.

We have been left
with no alternative,

but to defy this government.

lfwe must go to prison

to obtain the vote,

let it be the windows
of government,

not the bodies of women,
which shall be broken.

'Round the back, Maud.
'Round the back.

I incite this meeting,

and all the women
in Britain to rebellion.

I would rather be a rebel
than a slave.

Don't let Mrs. Pankhurst
be arrested!

No surrender!

It's not her.

Edith.
Mrs. P.

Oh, dear Emily.
This is Mrs. Watts,
Mrs. Pankhurst.

Maud.

Thank you, Maud.

Never surrender.
Never give up the fight.

Let go of me!

Don't bother arresting them.

Let their husbands
deal with them.

Drop them
at their front doors.

Sonny, I'm sorry.

I took you on, Maud.

I thought I could
straighten you out.

What if you don't need to?

You're a mother, Maud.

You're a wife. My wife.

That's what you're
meant to be.

I'm not just that anymore.

Sonny. Sonny.
What are you doing?

Sonny. Sonny,
let... Just let...

- Sonny! Sonny!
- Get out!

Sonny! Let me see George!

Sonny, let me see George.

Sonny.Sonny!

Let me in!

I wanna see George!

Sonny.

You're a disgrace!

Right, this is it.

- £2.6 a week.
- Make it £2.4.

The union'll pay.

Go on, then.

I'll get you some
blankets and clothes
from the VVSPU jumble.

They collect stuff
for women who...

I'm sorry.

No,no,no,no,no.
Don't cry.

It aggravates them
more if they see
it hasn't touched you.

So you practice now on me.

Do it, Maud.

"And God shall wipe
away all their tears.

"And there shall be
no more death,

"neither sorrow
nor crying.

"Neither shall there
be any more pain.

"For the former things
are passed away."

£2.4 a week and
a bed of bleedin' nails?

Sweet dreams, Maudy.

So,
Mrs. Pankhurst
briefly out of hiding.

Gentlemen, this is
a deliberate escalation

which the government
cannotaccept

Who knows what
they will do next?

They've been given
orders to be ready.

The East London
branch in particular
is to mobilize.

Should we even be
taking these
threats seriously?

I would not
underestimate the threat.

Neither would
the Prime Minister.

If it's to be tackled,
we need to get closer in.

I hope to traok down
those still open
to persuasion

and have them infiltrate
and inform on the others.

We've identified
weaknesses in their ranks.

We're hoping one
of them will break.

So, I'm going to
release these to the press.

Here, Maud,

you've seen yourself?

The shame of it.

"Mrs. Pankhurst's
undesirables."

It's not a bad
photograph, though.

I might cut it out,
put it on me wall.

I want you out, Maud.

After everything
I've done for you.

And how I've paid for it.

Mr. Taylor, come on...

What you looking at?

Call the police!

Don't let her go!

You'll walk free,
out of here, today.

In return,
you'll help me.

There's information
you'll pass to me.

Anything you know,
anything you hear,

even if it's only a snippet
or a piece of conversation,

it's of interest.

Look at me.

He deserved it.

If I told you...

And do you think
anyone listens
to a girl like you?

That anyone cares?
They don't.

You're nothing in the world.

Igrew up with
girls like you, Maud.

People who sacrifice life
for revenge and a cause.

I know you.

And so do they.

They know how to
draw on girls like you,

girls without money,
no prospects,

who want things
to be better.

They primp and they preen
and they fluff you

and they tell you
you're the foot
soldiers of the cause.

But you're only fodder.

For a battle
none of you can win.

I'm offering you a lifeline.

Take it.

Before it's too late.

Come on, George.

George, you're scuffing
your shoes doing that.

What's the matter with you?

What would your
mother say, eh?

George?

What am I gonna do with you?

Come on.

Maud?

We thought you
wouldn't come today.

March on.

So, next time,
get his left hand
an' all.

It was an accident.

Now, ladies,
I ask you to remain vigilant

while coming
and going. Uh...

We know we're being watched.

But, hopefully,
they will not expect
to find us here.

I recognize the militant path
may not be for all of you,

but, well, all I ask
is for you to make
your decision now.

Anyone who doesn't
want to stay may leave.

I need only those
who can give
their full commitment.

There will be no judgment.

Good. We can begin.

Violet, lamp, please.

Now.

I have marked up a map.

The pillar-boxes are red.

The telegraph
wires are green.

We shall cut into
the heart of
communications.

But, remember,
it is vital that
no life is harmed

during our activities.

We shall start early,
before dawn.

That way, the streets
should be deserted.

Everyone, take a list
of locations.

Memorize them.
Then burn them.

We don't want
them falling into
the wrong hands, do we?

George. George.

George.

Shh...

Hello, darling.

That's slow, Georgie.

You can run
faster than that.

Come here, you monkey.
I'm not losing you.

Who dressed you this morning?
Dad.

Dad?

Still got your nightshirt on.

When you coming home?

I don't know.

Have you done
something very bad, Mama?

Don't think so.

I just can't come
home at the moment.

Is it because
of your sickness?

Dad says you're
not well in the head.

That's not true, George.

Go on. Eat up.

That's for today.

That's for tomorrow.

That's to save till
I see you next.
Off you go.

George. Get inside.

Don't take him
again, Maud.

Let me see him, please.

Trust you with him?

After what
you did to Taylor?

What did Taylor do to me,
Sonny, for years?

George belongs with me.

The law says
he's mine, Maud.

Where he belongs is up to me.

That's the law.

Dear Mr. Steed,

I've thought
about your offer

and I have to say no.

You see, I am
a suffragette after all.

You told me no one
listens to girls like me.

Well, I can't
have that anymore.

All my life,
I've been respectful,

done what men told me.

I know better now.

I'm worth no more,
no less than you.

Mrs. Pankhurst said,

"if it's right for men
to fight for their freedom,

"then it's right for women
to fight for theirs."

George,
back to bed.

If the law says
I can't see my son,

I will fight
to change that law.

We're both foot soldiers
in our own way.

Come on, Maud.

Everyone
find a partner.

Both fighting
for our cause.

Maud.
I'm all right.

You have to participate

if you want to change
the way the world is run.

Oh.

Jolly good.

Well done, Maudy.

I won't betray mine.

Would you betray yours?

If you thought I would,
you were wrong about me.

Yours sincerely,
Maud Watts.

Another explosion
at Cadogan Square.

It's happening
all over London, sir,
and telegraph wires cut.

Miss Withers was
seen in the vicinity.

We'll get a warrant.

Morning.

Inspector.

That's a lot of
worming tablets, Mr. Ellyn.

One of life's
great parasites,
Inspector Steed.

Is your wife in?

Edith?

Uh, just concluding
a treatment, Hugh.

I can go through.

Uh, mastitis.

See you on Friday.

You're a wet nurse now,
are you, Miss Withers?

Should we
get this over with?

You've searched before
and found nothing,

but I'm happy
to comply again.

You're a very clever
woman, Mrs. Ellyn,
I'll give you that.

The way you seduce
these women.

Draw them in,
train them
in destruction.

You're
under arrest, Miss Withers.

I would advise you
not to struggle.

No, no. Get off.
Come on.

Get off! Get off me!

I would advise you
not to struggle.
Take her out.

Am I also to be arrested?

Not today, Mrs. Ellyn.

MISS WITHERSI No! No!

Get off of me!

Miss Withers will
get six months at least.

I could do a few weeks,
Edith, but...

What are you saying?
This isn't time
to stand down.

No, we push on,
capitalize on press interest.

The press do nothing
but scorn and mock us.

They scorn and mock us
because they feel our threat.

Mrs. Haughton.
Ladies.

Have you got the information
I asked for?

Lloyd George's summer house
is not yet completed.

He was complaining
about it at dinner
just the other night.

It's being built
next to the golf course
at Walton-on-the-Hill,

paw for by the owner
of the News of the World.

Valuable information.
Thank you.

Edith, come here.

Mrs. Watts.
How is your son?

It's his birthday tomorrow.

I'm so sorry for you.

I trusted my husband

and this government.

I was wrong.

I have to go.

Please just
listen to me, Edith.
A minister's home?

That's going too far.
Why too far?

It's unoccupied.
It is empty.
No one will be harmed.

Your commitment, Edith.

I always knew
you'd take it
as far as it must go.

But this...
Mrs. Pankhurst,
she asked us.

Mrs. Pankhurst asks too much.

Violet. Vi!

Listen, you can't do this.

You can't bring me into this
and then just leave me.

I'm sorry, Maud,
but I can't. I...

Not now.

Oh, Vi.

I can't take care
of the ones I've got.
Oh.

When are you due?

The summer.

Oh, Maud, I'm so tired.

I just wanna wish him
happy birthday.

At least let me do that.

Not now.

Sonny.

Sonny.
Don't.

You're too late.

This is Mr. and
Mrs. Drayton.

They're taking George.

What are you talking about?

Adopting him.

Sonny...
We have a very nice home.

With a garden
and all that he'll need.

No. George.

Icanfilook
after him, Maud.
Sonny. Please, Sonny.

I can't be a mother
to him, Maud.

Just let me have him.
We have no family, Maud.

No one to take him.
You can't do this.

I can't do it all.

Mrs. Garston won't take him.
No one around here will.

George.
We've been cast out, Maud.

We've been cast out.
Sonny... Georgie,
come here. Come here.

Come here to Mama.

Say your goodbyes
and then let him go.

Open your present.

Georgie.

Your mother's name
is Maud Watts.

Don't forget that name.

'Cause I'll be waiting
for you to find me.

Will you find me, Georgie?

Don't forget it.

Come on.
No. No. No.

Come on, George.
No.

Let him... Let them take him.
Don't, Sonny.

- Mama.
- No, no, no.

Sonny.

Sonny.

- Mama.
- No. Sonny! No!

Please.

What have you done?
Maud, it's for the best.

What have you done?
Shush.

What have you done?
Stop it. It's for the best.

What have you done?

Maud!

Sonny, Sonny.

What have you done?

Maud.
What have you done?

Can I help you with that?
No, I can do it.

So, Violet will not
be joining us anymore?

No. She questioned
our strategy.

Our friends are
there to challenge us.

To keep the balances
and checks, Edith.

No, no, no, there
can be no doubting.

The movement
is divided now.

Even Sylvia Pankhurst
is opposed

to her mother and her
sister's militant strategy.

The only way is forward.

And what if you
blow yourself up with
one of those damn things?

What happens to
your damn cause then?

Emily.
You all right?

Maud.

Hugh,go!

MAUDI Oh, God.

Mrs. Watts.

Come with us, please.
You're under arrest.

When women attack
the home of, of, of...
A government minister,

we have reached
a state of anarchy
we can no longer ignore.

This has to stop.

The press can only be
tamed so long.

They've grown more
and more interested
in these damned women

while we in government
must try to quash
every new story.

Pankhurst claims
responsibility for
the bombing and faces prison

while the real
culprits go free.

She's going to milk
every ounce of attention
she can in prison.

We've made some key arrests.

Punish those responsible.

In whatever way you can.

You women cleaned
yourselves up well.

Couldn't find a scrap
of dynamite on any of you.

Then why am I here?
Oh, you'll be charged.

For illegal meetings
if for nothing else.

You know there was
a housekeeper
on her way back

when the bomb went off.

She forgot her gloves.

If she was
two minutes later...

What would that have
done for your cause?

Violence doesn't discern!
Htakestheinnocent
and the guilty.

What gives you
the right to put that
woman's life at risk?

What gave you
the right to stand
in the middle of a riot

and watch women beaten
and do nothing?

You're an hypocrite.
I uphold the law.

The law means nothing to me.
I've had no say
in making the law.

That's an excuse.
It's all we have.

We break windows,
we burn things

'cause war's the only
language men listen to.

'Cause you've beaten us
and betrayed us and
there's nothing else left.

Then there's nothing
left but to stop you.

What you gonna do?
Lock us all up?

We're in every home.
We're half the human race.
You can't stop us all.

You might lose your life
before this is over.

We will win.

Keep moving.

Five days.
Will you eat now?

No!

No!

Hold her still.

The treatment of them
grows increasingly
barbaric, sir.

What is the alternative?

They will not
hold us to ransom
with their threats.

The fear is
they won't break, sir.

If one of them dies,
we'll have blood
on our hands

and they'll have
their martyr.

That must not happen,

or Mrs. Pankhurst
will have won.

Come along, Edith.
Maud.

Maud, can I drive you?

Best not.

I've left you
bedding at the church.
The union will send you word.

Emily.

Maud?
Violet.

I heard you were
sleeping here.

It's only bread
and a bit of broth.

Ta.

A little at a time.
Your tummy will be sore,
what you've been through.

Whatever you're
planning next,

you be careful.

You get caught again,
you'll see two years
inside at least.

Maybe longer.
Violet...

Maybe worse.

Little monkey.

George used to kick
noon till night.

How's Maggie?

Working every hour God sends
down at the laundry.

She's the only one
who can bring in
a proper wage now.

Now, come on,
you eat something.

Hmm.

When did they raid?

First thing
this morning.
Six arrests.

Edith, what are
you doing here?
Hmm.

You're not well.

There'll be a vigil for
Mrs. Pankhurst tonight

at Westminster Abbey.

She's not going to last
this time in prison, Maud.

The king must pardon her.

He's not going to
pardon her, Emily.

Then we've gotta make him.

How, when the government
silences the press?

Look. One column
on the bombing.

How do we make
ourselves heard?

One just has to
gather one's strength.

If it is the world's
attention that
we must capture...

...we take it straight
to the king.

Do something
he can't ignore.

Edith, you're too weak
to face another
prison sentenoe.

Oh, nonsense, Hugh.

Maud, please.
She's right.

Every violent
assault weakens her.

Her heart cannot take it.

Maud.

It is the Derby on Wednesday.

The king is to attend.

There'll be
thousands there.

You'll be stopped
before you get
through the gates.

In those crowds,
we'll go unnoticed.

We raise our
flag in front of
the world's cameras.

The king's horse...
Will be third
in the parade ring.

Done.
The eyes of
the world upon us.

Maud, no matter the risk,
we must not fail.

I want you to have this.
Edith gave it to me.

It has been
aninspwafionto
a great many of us.

Thank you.

So, tomorrow, then?

Tomorrow.

Here's the latest from
surveillance, sir.
It's Maud Watts.

She's sleeping
in Saint Bart's Church.

Hugh, we're ready.

I just need 2 mg of the cold
salt tincture if you please.

Could you not have finished
the orders last night?

What did you say?

Cold salt.

Hugh?

Hugh? Hugh.

Let me out.
I can't.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?
I'm sorry.

You've given enough.
We're going to be late.

Let me out.
Please let me out!

Your heart won't
take it, Edith.
I can't let you out.

I'm sorry.

To the left, please,
ladies and gentlemen.

To the left, please.

Please have
your tickets ready.

Please have your
tickets ready,
ladies and gentlemen.

Where's Edith?

She weren't at the station.

Tickets, please.

Miss, would you
like to take
the next turnstile?

Ta.
The queue's
much shorter.

Madam. Enjoy your day.

Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.

There he is.

Your Majesty.
Over here.

There's the king.

Your majesty.
Please. Over here.

Now.

Your Majesty.
Please. Over here.

Your Majesty.

Thank you.
Thank you. Over here.

Sorry, Miss.
It's green badges
to enter the paddock.

Can I help you?

Thank you
very much, sir.

Sorry.

We will find another way.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Excuse me. Thank you.

Let the gentleman
through, please.
Excuse me.

Follow me.

Sorry. Sorry, sir. Sorry.

Emily.

Emily.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.
Sorry, sir. Sorry.

Excuse me. Emily.

Emily.

Never surrender.
Never give up the fight.

Emily.

Emily!

Emily!

Maggie!

Maggie,
come on, darling.

Come on. Let's go.
You're scaring me,
Mrs. Watts.

Where are you taking me?
Somewhere safe.

Oi, Maud!

It's all right.
It's all right.

Get back to work!

Eleanor, I'll get
the door myself!

Maud.
This is Maggie,
Violet's daughter.

She can launder and sew,

she does the best
collar starching
and she can clean.

Come in, Maggie.

Be good.

Don't talk back.
Maud?

Come in, Maggie.
I'm Mrs. Haughton.

"The woman wanderer
goes forth

"to seek the land of freedom.

"'How am I to get there?'

"Reason answers,

"'There is one way

"'Down the banks of labor,

You taught me that.

Do you two

Thank you.
