- I thought your bank might like to listen

to what I have to say
about Nightingale Mill.

- I wish to be released from my vows.

- You're fired, Stan.

- I'll never forget this day.

- How long will it take you to realise

you're not alone anymore.

- I've come to take you home, Leila.

- Does your wife know I'm coming?

(gentle bright music)

(machines whirring)

(gentle uplifting music)

(machine whirring)

- I know I have no right to
ask you all to work like this.

- No one wants to be on the dole.

(sombre music)

- I thought I was really
suffering in the convent.

The greater the pain,
the greater the reward.

Now I know how protected we were.

- Doesn't all have to hurt, Anna.

- Grub up, come on,
Sylvie, come on, grub up.

- (sighs) I don't believe in you, God,

but I bet you thought
that were really funny.

- [Worker] What about
cheese, do you want cheese?

- [Walter] Nothing from Daniel Stern?

- I think his bank's gonna
ask for their money back.

- Well, they can have it,

when you get these Japanese orders.

- If we get them.

- They won't see yarn like yours

in any of the other places we're going to.

- You told me not to dress up the truth.

If Maynard Gideon won't extend the loan,

then the Japanese orders
might not be enough.

- [Worker] Where'd you get this anyway?

(upbeat rock music)

- [Worker] Hey, we was
just getting into that.

(jaunty music)

- Hey, come on.

(group laughing)

- [Both] One, two,
three, a one, two, three.

(crowd chatter)

- [Anna] What's going
to happen to me Walter?

- So I can read the future now, can I?

- Better than most.

- I was up at your house

the day your father took the
training wheels off your bike.

You were terrified of getting on it,

but you weren't gonna let us know that.

When he took his hand off the seat,

you started pedalling
as fast as you could.

- I thought as long as I kept
pedalling, I wouldn't fall off.

- I knew then you'd be trouble.

- Well, I ended up in the ditch.

- You're pedalling fast now, aren't you?

I'll always be here, Anna.

- You should sit me on your knee

and tell me the things
that my father never did.

- (chuckles) Then the tongues round here

would really start wagging.

No, you don't need me to do that.

You've surprised a lot of people.

(lips smacking)

But I think you're empty and hungry.

I think you'll disappoint
a few people too.

I think that's how it has to be.

(engine revving)

You'll live.

(car horn toots)

(jaunty music)

- How did this happen?

- They were hysterical.

Would you care to dance?

So lead, see if I care.

(jaunty music continues)

- I thought these could be framed

and go up on the walls,

give the place a sense of history.

- It hasn't changed much
over the years, has it?

- That's what we want
them to see, isn't it?

Natural, traditional.

- Now, Lynn, love, I've asked everywhere,

there is no whale meat in Bradford.

The supermarket had a bit of shark,

but it didn't look very nice.

So I got some smoked salmon
and smoked mackerel, okay?

(Anna and Lynn laughing)

- You didn't ask her to get whale meat?

- Right, don't bother getting up.

- I'm sorry, I'm coming.

- It's too late.

- I can't bear it, why
what's happened now?

- We've finished, we've
bloody well finished, yeah!

(Hal and Lynn cheer)

- Whoo!

(Anna screams)

- See ya.
- See ya, bye

- See ya later.
- All right, bye.

- Bye, see ya later.

(car door thudding)

(sombre music)

(car engine rumbling)

- [Secretary] Good
morning, Maynard Gideon.

- Daniel Stern, please.

- [Secretary] Mr. Stern
is still on holiday.

- Do you have a number
where I can reach him?

- [Secretary] Oh, I'm sorry,
I can't give out his number.

Can I take a message?

- Yes, could you say that
Anna Gibson called, please?

- [Secretary] Anna Gibson.

- He will get that message for tomorrow?

- [Secretary] I can't
guarantee it, he might.

- Right, thank you.

- They're not comfortable.

I can't look happy if I'm pinched.

- You're just not used to 'em.

- Walter knows what he's doing,

I think we'd better use them.

- I feel like a lemon.

(finger tapping)

- So you're all set?

- This is where I'll be when they come in.

You can introduce me and I'll
look round and smile warmly.

Makes us look busier if I'm down here.

I'll say my how-do-you-dos,
in my sitting position.

I'll give them the
impression we are so busy,

I can't possibly be
dragged away from my desk.

What do you think?
- Fine.

- Oh, Anna.

Weren't you supposed to give this back?

- It's my mantle.

- Leave the address, I'll post it.

- Oh, Lynn, you look stunning.

- Thank you.

How you coping?

- I'm screaming inside.

How do you manage to look so calm?

- Well, for the first time in nine months,

I have to admit, I'm half-cut.

You should have a glass, it helps.

I only wanna throw up
every 10 minutes now.

Oh, Christ, they're early.

- Oh, no, they're not.

It's Daniel Stern.

(car door thuds)

Your timing's either
very good or very bad.

- Don't you have a trade
delegation arriving 20 minutes?

It's a very important day for you.

- Life or death.

- Well, that's why I
thought it appropriate

that you should have a representative

of your financial backers here.

- Thank you.

I have to go and tell Lynn
and Hal and everyone else.

Oh, God, thank you.

(cheerful music)

- Gentlemen, Lynn Gibson, Anna Gibson.

(machines whirring)

(cheerful music continues)

- I buy for a chain across Japan.

I'm much impressed, but
we need to be certain

you could deliver in large quantities.

You don't appear to keep much stock.

- We're at the end of a
transitional stage for us.

It's a complete conversion
to natural yarns.

- We need continuity
and quality guaranteed.

- There's a representative

from Ms. Gibson's merchant
bank here, perhaps I could-

- Thank you.

- This is Mr. Daniel Stern.

- How's it going?

- The smile's stuck,
I can't get rid of it.

- [Hal] Anna?

- Here we go again.

- Mr. Dekiro, Sammy.

- I was admiring the photographs,

all your family, I'm told.

- Most of them.

- Perhaps you'd tell me more about them?

My company's a great believer

in traditional virtues, family business.

- Well, Nightingale Mill was founded

by my great-grandfather.

It's been in the family for 140 years.

- You must be very proud.

- I am.

I am, very proud.

(gentle cheerful music)

(crowd cheering)

- [Crowd] A toast.

- To all of us.

- [Crowd] To all of us.

(crowd chatter)

(phone ringing)

- Anna, Anna, I expect
a great deal of you.

Regular reports, export order copies,

samples of new lines.

- I expect I can manage that.

- Did you really think
I was the sort of man

who wreaks revenge on women
who reject his favours?

- Well, I still have difficulty

in dividing men into types.

- So you're out for good now, hm?

- Yeah, I have to go
back and sign the papers

releasing me from my vows, but, yeah, yes.

- Well, in that case I
demand one more thing.

Your company, the next
time you come to London,

just for dinner.

And don't stop doing a good job.

- That was Leila, Beattie's
been round her place.

She said he was drunk.

And now he's on his way here.

(sombre music)

(tyres squealing)
(car engine revving)

(sombre music continues)

- Oh, the gang is all here.

And there's not one of you

who could run this mill the way I have.

Not all of you together.

Oh, thank you for your
nice letter, Mr. Stern.

What was it?

"We regret we are unable to offer you

an opportunity in the foreseeable future."

After 33 years.

Thank you very much.

Very proper, very nice
way of doing things.

Screw you, Sister Gabriel.

And your piss-useless brother.

And your shitty little God.

- Shut the gate, Hal.

(sombre music)

(gate rattles)

(gentle inspiring music)

Has everyone gone?

- Peggy's still in the storeroom office.

- Tell her to go home.

- She says being a millhand for a week

has put her behind on her paperwork.

She wants to be ready
when the orders flood in.

You won't shift her.

- Will they flood in?

- I think we'll all have jobs tomorrow.

We should still be celebrating.

- Everyone's exhausted.

Lynn's taken the van,
can you give me a lift?

- Where to?

- Home, to some plain food.

Any home will do.

(serene music)

- Sorry, didn't expect anyone back.

Do you wanna drink?

- Glass of water, please.

(water splashing)

- [Hal] There you go.

- Thank you.

- Listen, do you mind
if I take a quick bath,

get out of these things?

Just make yourself at home.

Don't cook, I'll cook.

- I'm fine, really, I am.

(shoes clacking)

(keys rattling)

(door thuds)

Hal?

(water splashing)

(Stan sniffs)

(Stan crying)

(sombre music)

(tray thuds)

(hand knocking)

(water splashing)

- I must have fallen asleep.

How long have I been here?

- About a half an hour.

I've cooked.

(Stan coughing)

(train rumbling)

- We, we.

(paper rustling)

We, we regret.

Yes, yes, we do.

Oh, yes. (coughs)

Yes, we do. We regret. (chuckles)

Oh, yes, yes, we do.

(Stan laughs)

- I'm a terrible cook.

When it was my turn at the convent,

they used to call it extra penance.

Sorry about the rice, it stuck
to the bottom of the pan.

I cleaned it.

- What did you do to the omelette?

- It's been in the oven for
20 minutes, too high I think.

Mine tastes awful too.

- Then don't eat it.

Here.

(plates rattling)

Give me a few minutes, pop
out for some fish and chips.

- Don't bother.

- Oh, I see, I wasted an egg.

- Four eggs, it was perfectly edible.

- It was horrible and it would have rotted

before it reached the starving in Africa.

- That's not the point,
and it's not funny.

- No, it's not.

- I'll take a cab home.

- You have that choice.

Don't practise on me anymore.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Getting through that door
was a lesson for tonight.

You've done that, if it wasn't the food,

it would have been something else,

you would have left anyway.

- I'm sorry, I don't
observe all your rules.

- I don't have any.

You see, that's the problem.

You'd better leave before you do something

you'll have to confess.

- Do you think this is easy for me?

- I think it is almost impossible.

We don't live our life by bells here.

You've escaped from one prison,
don't build another one.

- Am I that selfish?

- You're not the only one that needs help.

I'm the one who's selfish.

I'll see you tomorrow.

(door rumbles)

(bike revving)

(suspenseful music)

(chain rattles)

(Stan chuckles)

(sombre music)

(paper rustles)

(wood snapping)

(suspenseful music)

(foot cracking)

(body thuds)

(fire crackling)

(suspenseful music continues)

- Summer at the convent,

I used to open my window at night,

and lie in the dark,

smelling the honeysuckle.

I tried to imagine what
this moment would be like.

The truth is, I don't
think I ever came close.

- And what is this moment?

- I want it to be you.

(gentle sanguine music)

(gentle sanguine music continues)

(gentle sanguine music continues)

(gentle sanguine music continues)

(gentle sanguine music continues)

(fire crackling)

(Stan grunts)

(dramatic music)

(door rattling)

(Stan screams)

- Oh, my God.

(fire crackling)

(Stan screams)

(dramatic music)

(gentle inspiring music)

(siren blaring)

- What's happened?

- It was the wool store,
but they think it's out now.

- Is anybody hurt?

- Peggy was in the
storeroom office, it's okay,

it's okay, she got out.

- How did it happen?

- [Lynn] I don't know.

- Peggy, you're all right.

- I'm fine, I'm fine.

Thank God for that blooming
old cloak of yours,

I just threw it round myself and ran.

- [Anna] Well, thank God you're all right.

- It's all over now, I'm
fine, (cries) I'm fine.

It was Stan Beattie, Stan was in there.

He's dead.

(Peggy crying)

- [Lynn] Come on, Peggy, love, come on.

- Your cloak, it's all burnt,

I can't send it back like that.

- It doesn't matter.

(police radio chatter)

(sombre music)

- [Hal] (sighs) It's all ruined.

Twenty grand at least.

- [Anna] At least we've
still got the samples.

- [Hal] We'll survive.

(machines whirring)

- These aren't particularly
good circumstances

to be saying this, but we have
been thinking for a while.

God, this seems so inappropriate,

do we have to do this now?

- Well, we have to think
of the future of the mill

and the people who work here.

- Yes, we need a new general manager, Hal,

and we'd like you to take the job.

I knew this was a bad time.

- No, Anna's right.

You need to think of
the future, we all do.

- So you'll take the job?

- I'll think about it.

- What?

- I won't keep you waiting long.

I have to get back to work.

(shoes thudding)

- Do you think this job is
a reward for last night?

- Hadn't crossed my mind, is it?

- Of course not.

- I told you I was selfish.

You're the one who should be confused.

- I am.

I feel like I'm at a dinner party

with 10 knives and forks in front of me,

I don't know which one to pick up.

- I'm not a good teacher.

- Last night you made me feel like

16 years of my life hadn't been wasted.

It was the right time and the right place.

(gentle wistful music)

You were the right person.

- I thought about marrying
you and having kids.

And us being alone together,

and being everything to each other.

I thought about locking you up

and keeping you for myself,

all the things I knew would kill you.

- [Anna] Take the job, Hal.

- And see you every day?

Why would the temptation stop?

Well, tell me, you should know.

I'm sorry.

I just wish I knew how
to make you love me.

- I do love you.

- Like a friend?

Last night won't happen again, will it?

- You said there weren't any rules.

Besides, you're the best
lover I've ever had.

(both giggle)

Take the job, Hal.

- I thought we could convert the garage

and the laundry room.

- We can't afford it.

- We'll be able to soon.

Turn the study into a bathroom,

you'd have your own front door.

Course, you could come and
go in the house as you like,

but it means you'd be able
to get away from us mob.

- I like it the way it is.

Perhaps in a few months, or next year,

I might rent a little place of my own.

I can't stay here for ever.

- [Lynn] Why not?

- Well, you've got your life.

What happens if you meet somebody?

Lynn!
- Anna.

I'm 34, I've got two kids and a baby.

Single men will not be
beating down the door.

- [Anna] Well, they should.

- Anyway, I've got used
to you now, I'd miss you.

- I wouldn't go far,
I'd see you at the mill.

And I'd be in all the time
to steal your children.

What?

- You've slept with Hal.

- We're not getting married.

We're not going to live together.

- You all right?

- Just about.

No, that's not true.

I used to go to chapel and
thank God for my confinement.

And I dreamed about the
things I was missing

and convinced myself
I didn't deserve them.

- You deserve the best of everything.

- I was reading this
book at Hal's last night,

and it was, (giggles) it was,

it's about this man who'd
been released from prison

after a very long time.

He had a job and had a normal life,

but at night he still had
to sleep in this tiny room

with nothing in it, but a single bed.

- Yeah, well, you can't just ignore

16 years of your life, can you?

I'll miss Simon till the day I die.

- I don't want to build another prison.

I'm frightened of freedom, Lynn.

- So go slowly, lean on people.

We've all been on trains

without being totally certain
where they were going.

Anyway, you can always get off.

- [Anna] I don't want to let anybody down.

- Anna, guilt kills.

You're not alone anymore.

Course, there'd be one big
advantage to you moving out.

Least I could have a fag in peace.

Bitch.

- I'm leaving in five
minutes if you want a lift.

(sombre music)

My release papers have
arrived at the convent.

Will you drop me off at the station?

(car rumbling)

(birds crowing)

(bell ringing)

(birds chirping)

(sombre music)

(shoes crunching)

(sombre music continues)

(bell tolling)

(sombre music continues)

- Let us pray.

Lord Jesus Christ, by your
own three days in the tomb,

you made holy the graves
of all who believe in you.

And by so doing, you strengthen
the hope of resurrection,

in those who's bodies
are subject to decay.

Grant, we pray you, that your
servant may rest in peace

in this grave until that day when you,

the resurrection and the life,

enrich Sister Godric with life made new.

May she, in the light of your countenance,

behold eternal light in heaven.

You, who live and reign forever, amen.
