Oh, why can't you wait until Mr. O'Leden gets here?

There'll be no point. The facts are the facts. No, he's not going to change them.

He's not going to like it.

Yeah! What the hell do you think you're doing?

They're supposed to be loading them, not off loading them.

Yeah.

Oh, with me, I'd something in the house.

Yeah, you. Just put me in the direction.

Don't you get me a long sign. Come on.

We'll get this.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to go.

Don't give you orders to load them supports.

There's no good evening.

Yeah, he's not off that.

No, no, no.

He'll give it to me.

He'll give it to me.

He'll give it to me.

There's no good evening.

No, no, no.

Bit of ricotta.

Let's all.

We've got it in half.

The lad you hired says it's more than that.

But we'll know at low tide when I shall survey your hull.

Till then, those potatoes stay ashore.

Why?

We had a contract to carry them, sportsmen.

Yes, providing your ship is tight, staunch and strong,

which I have good reason to believe it is not.

This is Mr. McCormick, sir.

You know, the little lads are there representing Mr. Ordowed,

the owner of those potatoes.

Well, if by not tight, staunch and strong,

you're referring to the bit of cork and we lost when we touched the bottom crossing your bar,

then you should keep your harbour mouth better, dredged shouldn't you?

The lad you hired to re-cork has come to me to say your plankings rotten.

The scene is nothing to the sleepless nights and the complaints of a crying child.

Do you not find up to the people who have the advantage of experience

and assist upon enlightening one can sometimes be quite insufferable?

Oh, well, then let you do not come to me for advice as to why he will not feel or what potions to do.

You know I will.

Sarah, you're safe here.

Oh, surely he still can't doubt it's going to be a boy.

Well, I hope so.

But James is safe.

Oh, will Mr. O'Nediam be an intern?

Oh, I don't think even James would miss the birth of his son, do you?

No.

Well, I must away.

I'll come back in a few days.

Well, meantime, you start to save your strength.

There's other folks who are running around.

Thank you. I promise.

Right then.

Not at all, it's about?

No, no.

Until next week.

Thanks, Dr. Ford.

Thank you.

This scene is most delightful.

Oh, it's a bit of comfortable kind of doctor.

I like him.

Well, then, bearing in mind what he said about not worrying about business,

if any matter should occur, he must let me attend to them.

But I'm quite capable, so there's no point in arguing.

It's quite essential.

Well, not to have to go down to the warehouse would be a relief, I must say.

Exactly.

What news of poor Charlotte?

Oh.

She seems very well.

Her Aunt Mary spoils her good deal.

Sometimes her letters have been almost gay.

Well, thank the Lord for that.

You know, I don't think I'll ever get over the way William treated her.

If he'd be my subject.

Well, we must just try to ensure that...

just ruin her life.

Oh, Sarah.

What news is the election?

How's Daniel fairing?

It's almost too early to say.

Now, this might be a bias for you, but it's definitely going to win.

I hope you lose.

You don't mean that.

Don't tell.

It's not in your nature to be interested.

Now, their charges increase every day. They're a greater threat than any ship can out.

Now, even James agrees that their monopoly must be broken.

Or industry in Lancashire will wither and die, and then where will Liverpool be?

The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board are not standing for election.

But Beaumont is.

Now, can you honestly tell me you'd rather he won?

Now are you satisfied?

No, sir. I'm not.

You're taking in a lot of water.

Oh, not accept.

The fact that it's just a cork.

You and your captain keep telling me that.

But I am yet to be convinced.

You've been from stem to stern.

You've been inside.

You've been outside.

And I shall do so again if I have to.

Look, Lord, examine our ships once a year.

We have responsibility for every ship entering this port.

Are you still paddling around out there?

How can they spike into every bit of timber you can find?

They'll be my strength.

I didn't know we was carrying livestock with this trip, sir.

Well, there's a horse in the far-and-hold.

It's not the cargo manifest, I'm sure.

No.

It's not your dumb business either.

It's none of our business at cost, but don't you think it's a bit premature, isn't it?

What?

And a horse.

I mean, it's not the sort of thing you get for a girl, is it?

I'll tell you something, babe.

If I'm planted with another daughter, I'll never...

Who the W?

Oh, Malley's the name, sir.

I'm from the border trade marine department.

Well, what are you, gentlemen, be Captain Bain?

That's really...

Ah!

We've had two-year crew complaining about your ship.

They say they won't sail in her because she's a leaky old tub.

Captain, I come to tell you, I must survey your whole.

God save us! What next?

The whole world is wah-fear next.

Well, why not?

Bring your cousin.

Bring your uncles.

Bring your old family!

Mmm.

Lovely man.

Ha-ha.

Samuel, I'm not used to this at the gallant case.

Would you like another cushion for your head?

Oh, no.

I'd be so comfortable I won't want to move.

According to Mother, nothing can do you more good.

Oh, she's being altogether too gan'd.

You're both are.

Nonsense.

Anyway, it's me who should be grateful to you.

The Mother is to occupy Mother's time.

The less you'll think of that, Charlotte and Paul.

That Charlotte and Pilgrim is going to be a blessing.

You know, Samuel, you do that very nicely.

I know I dare your accomplishments extended so far.

Thank you, Aunt Lettie.

No.

Thank you.

You know, at the beginning of Mark and Fine,

and I've positive they hated sugar,

because only a late has become acceptable to me again.

How desperate.

I wonder if Charlotte will be similarly afflicted.

Mother told me only the other day, though.

Oh, I see.

Well, try not to think too badly of her, Samuel.

On the contrary.

She's been in my thoughts ever since.

She must be very lonely and frightened.

There aren't Mary is very good to her.

No, but even so.

I don't know if it was me.

I'd be desperately unhappy.

But...

I have to bear the whole world's censual alone.

Oh.

Well, that's a kind and generous thought, Samuel.

You know, when Charlotte comes back to us,

he's going to need friends like you.

I shall have 12,000 printed and distributed throughout the ward.

But tell me what you think.

It will gain my vote.

Do you mean it all?

A politician must always mean what he says.

Will you wish me luck?

Hey, you're not taking something of a risk.

Showing me things like this.

I don't think so.

You're my friend.

I'm sure I can rely on your discretion and sense of honor.

Just as I'm sure you would never betray your father's campaign to me.

He sees fit not to tell me.

He either thinks me still a child or not sufficiently interested.

Or perhaps he doesn't trust me in the way that you do.

Fathers and sons.

Yet you don't seem to have the same relationship with your father,

with what I have with mine.

Happily no.

But then we have had longer to come to terms with each other.

And I didn't have to meet my father as a stranger when I was already a man.

I'm sorry if our friendship places you in a difficult position.

If it does, it's hardly your fault.

I'm sorry to it's your father I'm fighting in this election.

But I do mean to win.

Chance what I have against Adonio.

I'm unknown, unprepared, it's ridiculous.

But what have you got to lose?

Only my money.

I think of the credit it would lay in store for next time.

I would not care to be a pawn in any private quarrel between you and

Sir Daniel Lady Fogarty.

I can assure you it is nothing so petty.

Now will you do it?

Marcus, will you do it?

Yes, yes.

No, and it's dampened something to...

Mr Simmons.

Good evening, Sir Daniel.

I don't believe you've met my son, will you?

Good evening.

This is Mr Simmons William.

He's the director of an orphanage.

He's been trying to persuade me to sit on the board of governors of the new orphanage.

Since it was our money that bought it, I'd hardly expect less.

Well, we must meet again soon and discuss details.

Whenever your lady should please us.

Sir Daniel.

Mr Fogarty.

Good night Mr. Damon.

Very nice to see you here, will you?

We met at the club.

Father suggested that I should come home to die,

so that he could slander my friends to me along the way.

All I said was that his friendship with Beaumont had been remarked to.

Why shouldn't I be friends with a gentleman and a respected banker?

Because he's my political opponent.

Sorry, it's half of Liverpool.

Must all my friends be glad stones told us.

I think you might extend a little more loyalty to your father.

I haven't noticed any excessive support for father's campaign from you.

Beaumont won't be satisfied until he's got Liverpool in his pocket.

He has great designs for this city.

Oh, to his own advantage, no doubt.

Perhaps you'll tell us what they are.

Well, I mean...

Are you suggesting that I should betray those?

There's one way of making yourself useful.

You can have no concept of what honor means!

Don't presume to lecture me on una, sir.

Not out of the way you behave towards your cousin.

Then you talk to him!

And either change his tune or show him the door.

I shall stay!

Could you not show a little more caring whether your father wins?

Why should I if you won't?

My quarrel with your father is a private matter of principle.

Am I not to know why?

I would prefer to keep it private.

From your own, son?

Merely, I do not see how he can remain loyal to his charge as a city councillor,

while still remaining a director of the Manchester Ship Canal.

The two would seem incompatible.

I have no idea.

And he accuses Josiah of double-daling-dame him.

Yeah, funny, really.

What is?

I was just thinking.

I mean, here's me.

The last of the bainzes.

And there's you, young enough to be by son.

And you just start in your second family.

Funny that.

Funny is still any think that my child and my grandchild will be the same age.

Grandchild?

Grandchild?

Grandchild?

Grandchild?

Grandchild?

Huh?

For Michelle?

I thought you knew.

Oh, she is.

Well, I'm bold.

When's the wedding?

Not gonna be one.

Oh, we know who it is, sir.

Don't go thinking that that's an any doubt.

I'm not gonna have a sniveling runt as a son-in-law.

But surely, Miss Shaw,

I mean, that's the best she can do.

She's better up without it.

Is this my dad?

Second lie in it.

But it's to be a grand ball.

All of Daniel's supporters will be there.

I must appeal to your duty as his wife.

And I must beg you not to.

I must be true to myself in this Sarah, and there is an end to it.

I'll never expect it anything like this.

I'm quite speechless.

Oh, and I don't know how you can take it to life.

Because I have learned, there is no other way.

Well, all I can say is that Robert would have went with me.

I don't see wets. That should so amuse you.

Perhaps if I told you what I heard today, we might all laugh.

I have a new opponent.

Just before the nominations closed, an independent candidate appeared.

You know him, Sarah. You too, Elizabeth.

None other than Marcus Simmons, our young philanthropist.

No.

Who has been a guest to this house, hasn't he, Elizabeth?

Oh, dear.

Don't think it was I who first introduced him.

Which received our hospitality and our money, hasn't he, Elizabeth?

And now he stands against me.

I buy him a new orphanage, and this is his thanks.

Hardly over weaning gratitude.

Wouldn't you agree, Elizabeth?

I don't know how he's got the gall.

Well, I half suspected that you're already new.

Indeed, I did not.

And he will receive no more support from my committees.

I can promise you.

I do so admire your Christian principle, Sarah.

Didn't you know Elizabeth?

Do you mean am I his sponsor?

Oh, Elizabeth.

How could you think Daniel would ever mean any such thing?

I know who his sponsor is.

I checked.

Did you?

It's a doctor called Porton.

But that's the doctor that's attending letter.

Then she might do me the kindness of engaging someone else.

But what interests me more is where Mr. Simmons is getting his financial backing.

Haven't you found out?

Not yet.

Not that it matters.

He can represent as many worthy causes as he likes.

He doesn't stand a chance.

Four miles of new Docs, my friend.

Closer to the sea.

Away from this damn bottleneck in the river channel.

And an open hinterland we can develop to serve us without a city to circumnavigate.

Now, these Docs are needed, will he?

Already the Mersey Docs and Harbourborne are charging so much that many shippers can afford to come into Liverpool.

Now, is that not a recipe for the success of such a venture?

All to Manchester.

Now, I'm sure you can see what that will mean for your new Docs to say nothing of Liverpool.

My car going there, shifting.

Yes, well, you see, Mr. O'Dowd couldn't wait another day.

I don't see another ship out there.

It is the Banshee in the next port.

She's due out tomorrow.

But I have a contract for those sports.

You've broken it.

Only because of you.

Also her that Mr. O'Dowd may sue you for compensation.

Oh, have you, my heck.

This, sir, Banshee, know who owns her.

Oh, well, I wouldn't be knowing that.

That's her lie, because I always speak to her master this morning, and he owns her.

I do not. It's my brother's ship.

I thought you had to share it now, yourself.

Well, what if I have that's got nothing to do with this?

It's a plot.

I hope you don't mean what I think you mean.

Ah, mean what I say.

I resent that imputations. I resent that being cheated by a bunch of...

...seaving bong dwellers.

Oh, dear.

You insults won't help the situation.

You almost said that I'm green!

Well, I'm not green, sir.

Yes, what is it?

Well...

The damage is to your bow.

Yes, he didn't. I say as much.

But is that flanking right?

I was right. I was right. The damage is to the bow.

All right, all right. It's the flanking right.

You'll never admit your arm.

You didn't check that, Patrick. I know that.

I thought...

Mr. O'Neegan. Mr. O'Neegan.

Mr. O'Neegan.

No. That's from the bow itself.

Hmm. Just what?

Mr. O'Neegan.

I guess sponge. What did I tell you?

Well, you're the ship repairer. Don't just stand there.

Don't show me what's about it.

Eh, you'd need to be towed to the grave, Indoch. I can't do that for tomorrow.

Oh, I'm not paying towing charges as well.

Well, how did he have a mind to walk in her den?

Toage to you. Compensation to her down.

Me car goes stolen by his brother.

Aren't they in-faced?

Look, your plan's a rotten.

You need to be corking and re-sheeding. I can't do it in the mud.

What do you have to watch her?

It's only no water once a day.

Well, light flares at night. That way you'll get too low tides.

You'd have to pay grub money for that.

No. Oh, yes you are.

Oh, yes you are.

All right then.

Be extra for night work.

As long as you can guarantee that we're sailing two days.

Two days?

What does he matter what?

Not yet, he isn't.

But I wouldn't like you to see him when he is.

What will you do? Sue them.

Well, how can I when every word is true?

At least a night.

Well, this may shock you, Sarah, but I couldn't be so dishonest.

How did he find out?

That's been occupying my mind for the past half hour.

I don't know.

What's the matter? Sarah, what's happened?

Our friend Beaumont has somehow discovered my involvement with the ship canal.

It has made it public.

What does that mean?

Well, it means it will do, so done. You'll get damaged.

Tom, it will lose me the election. They'll desert me in droves.

Oh.

Boy!

Never mind, Sarah, even if no one else comes, we shall dance.

As I saw it begins.

This will be the first of those good and honorable men who put their trust in me.

And now wonder how I could have deceived them so.

Samuel, perhaps you'll be good enough to show them into the smoking room.

Never mind, Sarah. Come and sit down.

Don't cry.

It's not fair.

Perhaps not, but I would have done the same to him.

He would have deserved it.

Not me.

I'm not sure my wife would agree with you.

Was it you, Elizabeth?

Look, I'm trying to tell you.

I've replaced your rotten planks, but I'm not finished recaulking her.

I will, I can't wait. I've heard the up to your waterline.

Look. We're sailing in Ballastel, right?

I agree. So will not be that low in the water.

His heavy season should be like a sieve.

A blank so swell, and gaps will close up.

What's so important to live with who you can't wait another day?

Both of us shall.

That way, didn't you say so?

Can I have a word with you?

You see, I can't let Maine crew a ship.

This isn't caught.

Oh, that's it for the crew.

Maine pained so seller ourselves.

Oh, a little group shows more respect for his mother after his born than he does now.

He's kicking like a mule.

I hope he does indeed.

But from what I can remember, the Indigeneate's motherhood tend to multiply.

Have you heard from James?

How long?

Well, the doctor says it would probably be about ten days.

Oh, well, that's plenty of time.

We'd only take James two days to get home.

Life was bedeviled by Easter-ness, and we could take as long as three weeks.

Even the weather wouldn't dare delay James on needing on this occasion.

Oh, you're both. Have you heard of a company called Portside Holdings?

Why?

Well, a man representing that company came to see the warehouse.

He says they want to buy it.

Well, the sum is mentioned, but it's enormous.

It's even more than the Mersey Docks and Harbor Board have offered.

Are you going to sell?

I don't know.

For some reason, I think not.

Not for a business like Orton.

I don't know. I've become rather fond of the place.

Portside Holdings.

I'll ask Daniel if he knows anything about it.

Where the hell have you been?

We're sailing.

What on earth have you been buying?

This, it's, uh, oh, it's just nothing, sir.

Oh, what was wanted to see what a nothing looked like?

Well, there's an even chance that at least one of them will be a girl.

Are we a girl, sir?

We got a crew?

We haven't.

Just the two of us sailing this ship.

If I had the mind, I could tell your other benefactors that you have an interest in a brothel.

Which shoes?

Supply with girls from your orphanage.

Unless you withdraw in my favor.

You'd have to prove a lie like that.

Rich men can prove anything.

I would not withdraw for you, Sir Daniel, if you offered me El Dorado.

Good day, sir.

Mr. Simmons, it's a pity you're going to lose this election.

You're the kind of man the city needs.

But don't ask me for money, ever again.

It's not often I have this pleasure.

Well, you've gone to the house so little of late.

I couldn't altogether believe that I'd be welcome.

Now, what on earth makes you think that?

Your father doesn't know it was you who betrayed him to Mr. Boomert.

Neither do you.

Oh, I think so.

But you needn't worry. I've allowed him to think it was me.

Why?

Because in a sense it was.

I only told you because I wanted Mr. Boomert to find out.

And I was sure I could rely on your disloyalty.

You realize how proud that makes me?

To be half as clever or as dangerous as your father.

He could beg of you to rags if the wind so took you.

So, let's be sensible, shall we?

Oh, there is some point to the homily, is there?

In return, for my not telling Daniel what you have done,

you will obtain for me one piece of information.

From whom?

Mr. Boomert, of course.

Spile him?

Precisely.

You're as contemptible as my father.

And deceit is obviously your stocking trade.

Look, I merely wish to know where the Mr. Boomert owns a company

called Portside Holdings Limited.

I can't go and ask him.

I don't think that would be a very good idea, do you?

I will not be used.

Well.

No doubt your father will want to say a few words to you personally.

Shall I tell him he may find you here or at the apartment or sitting on Boomert's knee?

Whether he owns such a company, I don't know.

I will not spy for you.

But I have seen documents in his office with the name Portside Holdings written on them.

So he wants to buy Lettie's warehouse, what of it?

It was his offer coming so soon after the Mersey-Docks and Harbour Board had made theirs that intrigued me.

Portside Holdings, I discover, are buying up as much water frontage as they can lay their hands on.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that.

Well, in several cases the Mersey-Docks and Harbour Board make an offer, then Portside Holdings better it.

Which suggests that Mr. Boomert must have a spy inside the Harbour Board,

able to tell him what land they're interested in buying and how much they're prepared to pay.

Well, how would that profit him?

Well, because having bought the land, Portside Holdings then lease it back to the Mersey-Docks and Harbour Board at a wickedly high rental.

Ah, thereby forcing the Harbour Board to increase their charges.

You said that the Harbour Board's new charges were a greater threat than your canal.

If you were to tell the newspapers what Mr. Josiah Boomert is doing, they will crucify him.

Why do you give this weapon to me?

And not to young Simmons.

Because I owe it to you. And besides, Mr. Simmons is too honourable to use it.

Damn you. Damn you. Are you burning hell, Fogarty?

Keep me up. Pass me the dock.

I'm going to be taking water. Three inches in the last half hour.

Don't you stand there. Get to the pump.

No, two days. Three. You're surprised of it's more.

Mr. James would come.

Why? Still has two clear days. Because you dear lady, you're going to make me a promise.

And I? You are going to promise me that you will not start birth until after tomorrow night.

Why? Because tomorrow night, I have to be at the city hall.

And if I'm there, I cannot be here. The election.

But anyway, might be amazing now.

Oh, yeah?

I don't know.

This is very kind of you, Daniel, but I don't really understand what we're celebrating.

Ah.

After all, you didn't win.

No, mother, but neither did Beaumont.

Surely that's worth celebrating in yourself.

Well, I don't deny that.

Oh, how fortunate it seems we are just in time.

Mr. Simmons?

I have invited them here to celebrate Daniel.

Elizabeth.

If our presence is odious to you, sir.

No, Mr. Simmons.

You may not be acquainted with my sponsor, Dr. Port.

Oh, should you not be with my sister-in-law, Doctor?

Oh, there are messages all over town as to where I may be found, sir.

Come, let us toast our new city councillor.

Elizabeth, you cannot be serious.

No, Sarah, let's not be ungracious.

Mr. Simmons, well-known as the regard in which I hold him.

Congratulations.

Yes, indeed.

Thanks, sir.

Thank you.

I hope I may prove equal to the honour that has been bestowed on me.

I think my wife deserves a special vote of thanks, don't you?

After all, it was her campaign on your behalf that got you elected.

Nonsense, Daniel.

I'm not sure I follow your meaning, sir.

And let me explain.

She said Beaumont and I at each other's throats.

Gave each ammunition to discredit the other, thereby utterly destroying each other's chances,

which left you with a clear run home.

A masterpiece of strategy, Elizabeth, executed to perfection.

I'm sure I don't know what you mean either, Daniel.

You've done me a greater service than you could possibly know.

Well, I'm glad you take that for you. Local government is hardly worth it.

Well, I wouldn't say that.

But thanks to the attention given to my canal scheme, I have been invited to stand for Parliament.

To represent a Manchester constituency.

You wouldn't.

And I have gratefully accepted.

The hands won't go down.

Don't go on the sail and the rock right away.

Head?

I'm sorry.

I'm not blaming you, dammit. We'll be here.

All right.

Good.

Manchester! That's what he said. What did you want to listen to that?

Well, we should get a scene of this, and mothers. Oh, very expressions. It was as if their husbands

had suddenly been declared bigger mists. I don't like uncle, don't you? I wouldn't like

to be his enemy, but I do like him. Samuel. No, don't be frightened. No, no. No, it's all

right. God. Mrs. Gibson! Shout!

Wind's feared. It's with us! With luck, we should stop taking

any water now. We'll be home in ten hours.

Well, you're dead, still, you must practice your strength. I like him. That's James. James,

come. James, is he come? Oh, where have you been? Oh, I...

Yes, she... No, James! No, it's all right. It's all right. The doctor's with her.

No, not yet. Well, if she... Look, James, it isn't going to be easy for her. No. Come

on. Come on. Are you all right? I'll go in and sit down.

Oh, please don't let us suffer.

Let you... He's here. James is here. He's downstairs. Can you hear me, Letty?

Oh, oh, you're dead. James, I must be a boy. I'm so stupid.

I'm so stupid.

I tried to relax. I know it isn't. Oh, but you must try.

This is how I'm died. Just like this. Yes. I thought never again. I might not go through

all this again. Come on, I'll put all the data in China.

It's a boy.

You want it? And the midwives watched him. And you see him.

You just rest, Mary. I'm not leaving. Just gonna have a word with the doctor.

The

child is not well. His color is blue. It's heartbeat. It's very irregular. I'm afraid

I have no choice. I have to tell you, it is unlikely the child will live above a few days.

But where we can solve them actually?
