Srigs

I won't keep you all night.

You have little enough time of your own.

That's right.

Eight, eight, eight.

Eight hours of work.

Eight hours of rest.

And eight hours of work.

Now they'll be ready with their patrols and their guns.

We'll bring weapons of our own.

No scams will take our jobs.

Five, six, six, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven, seven.

With the Wintertons joining us.

And bringing a host of friends.

I feel more confident that ever that our new metropolitan opera will be a great success.

This is good news. May I ask who are the friends you propose to bring over to our side?

The people you want but couldn't get.

The Wilson's, the Marshalls, the webs and many others.

Why? Mr. Winterton can be very persuasive.

But there is one slight issue.

Why am I not surprised?

The Wintertons have done us such a great service in this.

Yes.

And they want the central box in the first tier.

You mean my box?

Where else should we sit when we've encouraged our friends to leave the academy?

They'll expect us to be in the central box.

We all want the metropolitan to be a success.

Surely we can agree on that.

And now it will be, thanks to us.

This should take you through the week.

Please be fine.

Could you sign here?

Sir?

Mr. Church, he was drunk.

I wonder if Mr. Russell knows that his butler goes out and gets drunk.

It's not a concern.

I don't agree.

And I do not believe that I can let it rest there.

Is it that stupid letter again? He said he was sorry.

He can say what he likes. He still wrote it.

So, this is a chance for revenge?

Is it revenge, I seek?

Or is it justice? That is the question.

Mr. Van Rime, thank you for coming. I have your check right here.

You're a note surprising.

I'm not sure I understand.

I have already told you that the principals want to proceed with as few investors in the partnership as possible.

I was able to get you in, but they're now insisting that we reduce our numbers.

And so they are paying a premium to buy out all of the smaller stakeholders.

I think you'll find you made a good return in a short time.

What's the question?

I'm not sure I understand.

I'm not sure you're in the case.

Mr. Van Rime, if you don't want to accept your check, how much would I have to invest to be a principal and not a small stakeholder?

I don't know, Mr. Van Rime, a great deal of money.

My advice would be to cash that check and enjoy the profits you have made.

Our great deal of money, Mr. Van Rine.

May I ask, is Miss Beaten aware of any of this?

No. She would only try to dissuade me, but please don't worry about that.

I will tell her in good time for us to celebrate together.

Is it dinner? Not quite, Mum.

I should have brought these up earlier, but I forgot it's the afternoon post.

It came when you were out. I am sorry.

Never mind.

Who was that from?

Your Aunt Ada. No doubt bleeding on about her untold happiness.

If only it were untold.

I think she is happy.

Oh, this is from D'Aishel. He's giving a party to support the botanical gardens.

That's good of him.

His family have been patrons for years, but more to the point, he wants you to be one of the guests.

And why didn't he write to me?

Well, I'm also invited, but clearly he is quite taken with you.

I know you think D'Aishel very suitable.

You must give me some credit, Marion. I do not think he is suitable because he is well born and rich, but in addition to those useful qualities, he is also intelligent and very nice.

He is even handsome.

What more could a girl ask for?

I only mean that you should consider it.

Aunt Ada said something similar.

Really? As a rule, realism is not her strong suit.

When is D'Aishel's party?

The afternoon of the 21st.

What's the matter?

That's the afternoon I said I would teach Jane Adams class.

Oh, you cannot. Be serious.

You would miss it to teach a bunch of indigence? How will painting help them anyway?

What are they to learn next? Gilding, lace making, how to die for pearls?

I'm teaching them to read and write.

But why not teach them the following day? They'll still be poor and needy on the 22nd. I promise you.

What does Aunt Ada say?

What does she always say? She's wonderful. He's wonderful. Even the Niagara Falls are wonderful.

She seems rather limited in her choice of adjectives.

Let her enjoy herself. And when they come back to New York, please be kind to them.

For all our sakes.

It is hard to be kind when he has taken advantage of her innocence.

I think good will come from it.

Good came from the American Revolution, but it was difficult to live through all the same.

I can't even imagine the danger you were in. They might have killed you.

I believe that was their intention.

How was Mr. Fortune through it all?

Brave. Braver than I was. He stood up to them. That was what got us into trouble.

It's quite a story trembling all night in a barn listening to a ravening mob hurtling by.

I imagine it brought you closer.

He kissed me.

What? When? In the barn.

We were frightened for our lives at hiding and huddled together.

But he's married. I know. Of course you do. I'm sorry.

It was wrong and foolish.

But the truth is he's a friend now.

I can talk to him about anything. Even my son.

He understands and he challenges me. He champions my work.

I mean you're in love with him. I'm sorry.

That's what it sounds like and I don't want you to be hurt.

It's too late for that. The only thing we both know for certain is that I'm going to get hurt.

Six o'clock on the dot. I really think I cracked it.

I knew you would if you didn't give up. Yes. Well done, Jack.

It's a real achievement. I'm so pleased for you.

Might I ask for the stairs to be brushed and rubbed put straight?

And you're a trip to coming down? Never mind that now. What would you do next, Jack?

What do you think you should do, Mr. Bannister?

Well, if you're serious, the clock really does work.

It does, Mr. Bannister.

You invented a new element that makes it work.

A lot was just servicing it, but I have made a new kind of escape wheel.

You can't buy one like it.

Oh, well, you're talking double Dutch, but I'd say you should apply for a patent to protect your invention.

Could I do that?

You'd have to write to Washington or go to a government office here in New York.

They'll have to check that no one else has invented the same thing.

That's it. Then they'll tell you if your application's been successful.

But how much would it cost?

Oh, I know about this because I had a friend who tried for a patent and failed.

The charge is $15 when you apply and 20 more if they grant it.

Well, I'll have to wait and save it up.

You can't wait. Someone asked me to beat you to it.

I've got $2. You're digging.

Oh, no, I couldn't.

You're gonna have four for me.

And I've got four. I could get you one.

Miss Maryable want to add, son.

Yes, you'll have what you need.

You'll get nothing from me. I'll work too hard to waste it on a moonshine.

You can go on Thursday. I'll tell Missy's about it.

What if you pay the money and they refuse the patent?

Do you get the money back?

I don't know.

You let us worry about that.

Thank you. Thanks to all of yous.

We'll never forget this, never.

Go and make us proud.

Did anyone let a hand on you?

No, because they didn't find us.

I wish you would talk to me about the South before you left.

Mother tried to warn me. I'm not sure I fully believed her then, but I do now.

Just grateful that God protected you.

I wanted you to hear it from me because the article about our trip is coming out in the globe.

I thought you were there just right about the school. We've covered that.

We had to sit down what we'd seen as well.

I don't want you doing any more stories that put you in harm's way.

How could I know what would happen?

I would have. It's typical for Alabama.

A woman should not have a job that could get her killed.

So you'd rather I just sat in your pharmacy and did nothing with my skills to help better the world in some way?

That's not what I'm saying.

We just want you to be safe.

Well, you can't always keep your children safe. You know that.

How do you want it to alert you about the article not start a war?

I'm glad you're telling their stories.

Education and training is the way forward for our people.

But they're doing their level best to stop us.

Even here in New York, you should write about that.

About what?

The education board is trying to close down the colored schools, including Mrs. Sarah Garnett's.

Where you play piano?

Yes, and more importantly, what Sarah is principal.

If they prevail, the students won't go to school, while Sarah and the other teachers have no work.

Well, that's shameful. What reason do they give for the closure?

As if they need one.

But they say the colored teachers are inferior.

The lies they tell themselves. They have to be stopped.

Well, if you'd like to help, I was about to leave for a meeting at Sarah Shaw.

I'll come with you.

I don't get my things.

All right.

When will you be coming home?

I don't know.

I know it's silly, but I feel rather nervous.

I need an independent married woman, fully the equal of Mrs. Van Laude.

I know it's silly.

I know it's silly, but I feel rather nervous.

I need an independent married woman, fully the equal of Mrs. Van Laude.

Of course. But I'm not sure Agnes would quite see that.

The Niagara Falls were really wonderful, so much more impressive than in the photographs.

Yes, so you said in your letters.

And we've settled into the rectory, and the pumpkin seems quite happy there.

So you said that you were a little bit more interested in the photographs?

The rectory and the pumpkin seems quite happy there.

Subtle?

When did you get home?

Monday evening, but I wanted to unpack and get things back to normal before we came to visit.

I see.

May I fetch you some more coffee?

Oh, yes.

You're something wrong?

Alas, I suffer from a bad back, like too many of my parishioners.

I mean, I made it worse. Luke carried me across the threshold.

By night, I hope. It's not exactly an image for public consumption.

I do want you to go see the doctor.

But there's nothing to be done. Oh, there must be something. Do sit down. I'll ring for John.

And I'll ask him to call on Dr. Lewis to come and see you.

I suppose Marion is teaching, or else she'd be here with us.

This teaching nonsense is taken over her life.

She has promised some do-gooder that she would teach some class of beggars to read and write

on the evening of cousin Dachshil's party.

For which she deserves our praise.

She cannot miss Dachshil's party for them. What does she think?

That their social diaries will prevent them from changing the date?

She takes a commitment to the poor seriously.

Jesus teaches...

Even Jesus would understand that she cannot turn down a potential suitor for a bunch of hobbledy hois.

I'm not sure he would.

You were kind to bring her home. I meant for you to put her in a cab.

I like to walk. Is the carriage mended yet?

It will be tomorrow.

Is that your wife? Yes, that's Harriet.

It's so nice to have it there as a reminder.

Why don't... need reminding?

Will they have our portraits of the botanical gardens too?

No, that will just be a plaque with our names. And the names of my parents too.

How nice.

Our family sponsored the new solarium.

I'm so sorry to have to miss it.

What? Don't say that. Why?

I'm taking an evening class to teach the basic skills needed to find work.

Reading, writing, you know, the sort of thing.

This is for poor people.

Yes, and that's the date.

Couldn't you change it?

Please.

It won't be the same without you there.

I'm afraid I can't be. The school asked me to take the lesson, and I said yes.

But you don't have to do what they tell you. It's not as if you're a real teacher.

I wish you would reconsider. I don't think the poor people would mind.

In short, we must work together.

Please join us in showing your support by signing the petition to stop the board.

Thank you.

I have six or two.

Look who I've brought.

Aren't you a sight before us?

It's so nice to see you again.

But I'm sorry. It's under these circumstances.

I am as well.

If you stay determined, they won't win.

I said, I'll be able to battle.

Some of the teachers are already looking for new jobs.

I have the seamstress shop, but that won't be enough to make a living if the school's close.

Organizing this meeting is a good first step, but it's not enough.

You know, Peggy has an important piece coming out in the globe about Booker T. Washington's school in Tuskegee.

Mother, I was just thinking this could be your next article.

First, she wrote about education in the South, but we face our own challenges here in the North.

That's exactly what we need. Public exposure.

Some folks don't even know this is happening.

We need parents and colored businesses and the press to fight this together.

What do you say?

It does sound like something my editor would be interested in.

Oh, but I have to speak with him first.

Whatever you can do, Peggy, we'd be most appreciative.

Thank you, Ed.

I think Ed is going to be interested.

I think so.

So, could you move the mansfills to the tenth, please?

And send a thank you letter to the governor.

Of course.

You cannot know how happy I am to have you back, Miss Scott.

John?

What is this business banister who's been telling me about a clock?

John's invented a type of alarm clock. He's applying for a patent.

How exciting!

We all rely on alarm clocks, and most of them don't work.

I rely on Armstrong.

Who always sets an alarm.

We've all chipped in downstairs for John to pay the patent fee.

Well, then we must contribute.

I think I got enough money.

No one has enough money.

Here are five dollars.

And I'll give you three.

Would Miss Armstrong ask would I pay back the money if they don't give me the patent?

And I'm not sure I could.

Never mind Armstrong.

I like the idea of supporting an inventor.

And now we must go up and change.

People can surprise you, can't they?

They believe in you.

And so do I.

Why did you come to New York?

There was more possibilities over here.

Are you proficient in hairstyling?

I did my own today.

Women have their hair done for the gentleman.

Don't you agree, Mr. Church?

And Mrs. Wagner would give you a reference.

Not Mrs. Wagner, no.

She's dead.

Our work in no play makes Jack a dull boy.

And I was sick of London.

Wouldn't you say so, Mr. Church?

I think we've heard enough.

I will let you know.

You have my address.

I hope you'll be the one to write to me.

Can you find your will?

If I have to.

No.

No.

May I make a suggestion?

I could come for a trial of a week or a month.

With no obligation on either side.

Then Mrs. Russell would have time to make up her mind.

Very sensible.

Then I think that is everything.

I will bid you good day.

I will be the one to make a decision.

I will bid you good day.

I would say our search is done.

Most definitely.

Pickett and men say the workers will solve us stronger than ever.

They'll fight if it comes to it.

Mr. Russell, I'll be with you in a moment.

Could you give Mr. Gobet some coffee?

Go on.

We barricaded the mills in the river.

The governor will send the National Guard and his scab labors ready to take over.

Will we have trouble getting them inside?

We'll have troops here and here to escort them through the gates.

So you think you can get the scabs into the mills?

I can guarantee.

There are no guarantees in war.

And that's what this is.

As you yourself have said.

Now Mr. Gilbert, you've been very patient.

Of course, sir.

It's some time since I've been in a railroad car as fine as this.

You can see I'm rather busy.

And I'm on my way to Pittsburgh,

so perhaps I should cut straight to my reasons for asking you here.

Good.

Mrs. Russell tells me that Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Winterton have abandoned me.

They have.

I don't really know why, but it is quite a coup for us just so.

And I gather Mrs. Winterton has requested the very box that was earmarked for my wife.

Mrs. Russell has very graciously agreed to step aside.

Now that is what cannot happen.

Sorry.

It was the train moving.

On the opening night, Mrs. Russell will preside from the central box in the first tier.

But I've already...

A memory test for you.

Some time ago work stopped on the uphouse because you ran out of money.

When and why did it start?

Because you signed a check, but Mrs. Russell was not to be told.

And now you have a similar conundrum.

Mrs. Russell will have her box back, but neither she nor Mrs. Winterton needs to be aware of this before the opening night.

But the Wintertons are difficult, but if I can't arrange it, then I will demand the debt is repaid at once and in full.

The whole debt, for which you yourself have signed.

Now, I'm afraid I must get back to my work.

Good day, Mr. Gilbert.

But the train's left the station.

You can ride with us to Middleton and get off there.

Take a seat.

National car.

Thank you.

All right, boy.

Oh, I saw the doctor for my back.

He gave me some lengham.

Good.

He's looking into one or two things, but he seems to think I'm unreasonable.

I'm not going to be able to get him.

I'm not going to be able to get him.

I'm not going to be able to get him.

Good.

Well, there'd be anything else.

I don't think so, no.

Unless you want some cheese.

No, thank you.

What do you mean, he's looking into some things?

There's nothing to worry about.

What is that?

That is our very own music box.

What?

It sounds so loud.

It must be a very grand one.

A parishioner gave it to us as a wedding present.

I asked Sally to turn it on.

It's playing the blue Danube.

Come down, Sally.

You make me feel this a flower sixteen again.

Is that good?

It feels good to me.

I'm not going to be able to get it.

Hello?

Where are you coming from?

I've been lying all afternoon in a government office

to try to get a patent for my invention.

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately.

Thought you'd gone off me.

I spent all my spare time working on my clock.

Were you successful with the patent?

I don't know yet.

We had a business here.

The other night, Mr. Church went out and came home drunk.

Apparently it was the 30th anniversary of his wife's death.

She died of smallpox on our 24th birthday.

That's very sad.

I know. I may not be here much longer.

Why not?

They're interviewing for a new lady's maid.

Have they given you any notice?

Not yet. I'm supposed to look after Ms. Gladys again.

But haven't you always been her maid too?

It's a demotion, whatever you say.

All right, I better go in.

If you do leave, will you tell me?

Good luck with the patent.

You're back. Good.

I thought I might have to serve dinner alone.

Tell us all about it.

There's nothing to tell.

I stood in line, filled in the forms, paid the fee.

Now I just have to wait.

I saw Ms. Weber on the street.

She told me that Mr. Church went out the other night and came back drunk.

Mr. Church, the butler?

I find that hard to believe.

It was the 30th anniversary of his wife's death.

That's awful.

That must have been the smallpox outbreak of 53.

He was.

She was 24.

Mr. Vanister, might I have a word?

I hope you'll let it go now.

Mr. Church has been through you now.

I would.

But I've already written.

I delivered it last night.

When? You must do something.

Did you get my message?

I did.

You're very persistent, Mr. Van Rine.

I have the money.

I might as well tell you that I'm not comfortable about this.

I'm not comfortable at all.

Why not?

Ms. Beaton may appear to be witty and sophisticated, but the truth is she's an innocent.

She has always been protected.

By her father, Mr. Gould, never mind that.

It's enough to say she does not deserve to be used.

But I'm not using her.

I swear to you that you will enjoy the benefits of this transaction as much as I will.

I mean to make her happy, Mr. Crowder.

Truly, I do.

So be it.

You didn't have to wait in the street.

I wanted some air, and it's a lovely afternoon.

Yes, Nashville's been lucky.

I'm looking forward to it.

Ms. Beaton.

We're going to Mr. Montgomery's party.

Mother, are you listening?

Is that from father? How's he getting on?

It's from the Duke of Buckingham.

What does he want?

He confirms that he's coming to New York City for the opera opening night.

And that's good, is it?

Don't be such a child. Of course it's good. It's wonderful.

I will have an English Duke as the guest of honor in my box on the opening night,

and I very much doubt Mrs. Astor can say the same.

In fact, I'm going to send a note to Mr. McAllister to tempt him to join our party and abandon hers.

I don't understand. Are you Mrs. Astor's friends or rivals?

The two are not exclusive.

I don't really understand why you asked to see me, Dr. Sanders.

Dr. Murphy gave me a salve that seems to be working.

I'm afraid Dr. Murphy's analysis suggested other possibilities.

He asked my advice because I have more experience with this condition.

Well, bad backs.

Try to remember that reading is a key, and it will unlock your life if only you'll let it.

Oh, Ms. Frost, may I help? Aren't you going to the party being given by Frances Montgomery's father?

I'm sure she said you'd been invited.

That doesn't matter.

Try not to sense. You can't miss it. I heard it's going to be splendid.

I'll take over here.

I don't know.

Go ahead.

We'll see you next week.

All right. Who's next?

Oh, splendid. This is Mary.

Mary will be furious with herself when she hears what she's missed.

That's good of you.

Larry!

Hello, Mr. Russell. Hello.

He seems keen. Who is he? Anthony Gris.

Another suit here?

He's a joke. He's been stalking me. I'd have you all I go to.

Well, you are a debutante. You're an heiress. What did you expect?

I didn't quite understand it would be open season.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

You're the hunter.

You're the prey.

Just fend them off until you find the right one.

It's exhausting.

At least you won't have to worry about Oscar Van Rine.

I'm happy for Mr. Van Rine.

Emma's beaten. I've met her. She's nice.

Or is it a risk to say that?

Even if it is, you're not afraid of taking a risk, are you?

Certainly not.

Really, Mr. Van Rine?

I don't know what I'll say, but I'll just walk in half.

Not in our version of the story.

Oh, there you are.

You found me.

Hasn't that show done things well?

It's lovely.

Are you fond of flowers on techniques?

Very fond. As long as someone else has grown.

Look! I hope it's all right that I came.

It's more than all right.

We're very pleased to see you, my dear. Aren't we, Daphne?

I can certainly say I am.

Mr. Van Rine, what can I do for you?

I hope that you will forgive this intrusion.

But I wonder, has Mr. Russell read his mail today?

Mr. Russell is in Pittsburgh.

Why do you ask?

A letter was delivered by hand last night, and I'm anxious to get it back.

I don't think I can allow that.

I see that I must ask it as a favor.

But, at first, might I explain?

Very well.

As you may have guessed, I wrote the letter myself.

And now I regret it.

Why did you write it?

To complain about the behavior of Mrs. Russell in the Opera War.

It's been upsetting, Mrs. Van Rine, and I ask Mr. Russell to exercise control over his wife.

How on earth did you think you could write such a thing to Mr. Russell?

If he sees it, you'll lose your attention.

And this time it won't be my fault.

I can't explain it.

I must have been mad.

Of course, you'll think I deserve whatever happens.

And I gently blame you.

These are the master's letters.

Normally they're collected in the morning, but his secretary rings to Clay as with him in Pittsburgh.

That's it.

Thank you.

I must confess.

It's quite a relief.

I'm tempted to ask if I could read it, given everything you've said.

If you'll forgive me, I prefer to spare my own.

I prefer to spare my own.

I prefer to spare my own.

I prefer to spare my own.

Good day, Mr. Church.

I think Oscar is going to surprise us all.

And I couldn't be happier.

Do you mean what I think you mean?

My lips are sealed.

It must come from him.

Oh, there you are.

Father, so great to find you.

It's about to begin.

I'm not going to be a good friend.

I'm not going to be a good friend.

I'm not going to be a good friend.

I'm not going to be a good friend.

I'm not going to be a good friend.

Can you imagine?

Yes, yes.

This is quite a joke for the unveiling of a plow.

Good.

Ah, there's Miss Brooke.

Oh, what is this?

What is this?

I moved back to New York to see Francis settled in my old hometown.

But to my surprise, Fates had plans for me too.

I never thought I'd find someone else to love.

To stand by my side.

To care for my daughter as if she were her own.

We are here to celebrate what my family has done for the botanical gardens,

but my family is not yet complete.

I realized that soon after I met Miss Brooke,

many of you here are friends of Miss Brooke

and may have been puzzled by my invitation.

The truth is, I have invited you to witness this.

Marion Brooke, will you marry me?

Robbo!

She hasn't accepted him yet.

She will.

He's on

the

stage.

That's your well done.

Well done. I don't know. I have to pack.

I'll see you when you get back.

I'd like to thank Sam.

It's just hard to relive.

I have a lead on another story.

My mother is a friend of Sarah Garnett,

a principal of one of the three colored schools.

I know who she is.

She says the board of education is trying to close all of the schools,

including hers.

I heard that was the plan, but I never thought they'd go through with it.

They've been smearing the colored teachers and saying that the schools are bad they've run.

Can't we expose them?

We can. And we will.

But first, we must rally the community.

Miss Garnett said we needed you in this fight. She was right.

We can start on that tomorrow.

Is that wise?

What do you mean?

Only that we wrote the Tuskegee article together.

Maybe another journalist should cover the story.

You brought me the idea, don't you want to write it?

I just wonder what it looks like if we write everything together.

It looks and it reads like good journalism.

First, we need to speak to the teachers.

I can start that. But it's late.

Your family must be expecting you.

I don't like leaving you alone.

Why? I can finish and close out.

Don't get out.

You can wait for me here.

If you insist on doing this, then I'm coming with you.

No. I'll go in alone.

If I had the power, I'd forbid it.

But you don't have that power.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

I'm surprised you'd come here.

Why not?

You came to my house?

And now, I hope we can find a way out of this situation.

We cannot offer you the hospitality you showed my husband to Mr. Russell, but perhaps you'll have some coffee.

Thank you. You're very kind.

I know you're a proud man, and I do not hold it against you.

I've come quite a distance too, and I'm proud of the company I've built.

Like you, I'll fight for it.

I am proud.

I'm proud of my work and my family, and my job is to protect them.

We need the union to do right by our families.

But if it comes to violence, no one wins, and everyone suffers.

Your workers are already suffering. They have no life.

They work 10, 12, 14 hours a day, six days a week, for which they pay barely enough to put food on the table.

Your horses have better treatment by far.

We offer to raise to your tradesmen, and they refuse because we won't be divided, as you know.

I cannot pay a different basic rate for common labor without disrupting steel production across the state, across all of America, and that's your last word.

My last word on pay. On safety, even welfare, there may be more to talk about, but not on pay.

Then there is nothing more to say.

There is no point to this.

The union funds will soon run dry, and I will starve you out.

The men will do what they must to stop scabs from taking our jobs.

Some of them will get hurt, some may die, doesn't that trouble you?

The stakes are high for all of us.

I hope it doesn't come to violence, but we're prepared if it doesn't.

My job.

That's good.

I'm leaving now, Mrs. Henderson, but I want to thank you for my coffee.

If this is Mr. Russell, he owns the mills.

I've started at the mill myself, sir. My shift begins in an hour.

I'm sure we're glad to have you.

I hope you find a way to settle things, sir, for all our sakes.

I'm afraid I have not been able to persuade your husband.

He only tries to do his best.

I would claim the same, but I've held up your children's luncheon long enough.

I'll take care of you.

Strike affects the whole town.

My mills employ the whole town.

Exactly. We don't have a choice. We have to work to survive.

Which is why you've made your son work in a place where he's treated worse than a horse.

This fight is for all our sons to have something better.

I see.

Well, thank you for your hospitality.

I know.

What will you do now?

What can I do? Bring him on his strike.

May God help us all.

I know.

I know.

Kristina's daughter.

She has called him now.

So their Varkee

No, not care.

What for you today?

Mind you gonna open it?

I will when I'm ready.

So what do I owe this pleasant surprise, if only it were pleasant?

I'm afraid we have a serious problem, Mrs. Van Rhein.

Please, do sit down.

What is the urgency?

Apparently a couple of the old guard have already been lured away from the academy to join the Wintertons at the Metropolitan.

I'm afraid others will soon follow.

That's not all.

But you could buck-a-gum as agreed to be Mrs. Russell's guest of honor at the opening.

He will hear the opera from her box.

And the world will know it.

So what can we do?

What can we do?

I don't know, Lena, but you'd better think of something.

You?

You know him.

You've dined with him.

Get him to ditch her and come to the academy instead.

What?

How?

Find out what is offered and double it.

Treble it if you must.

But get him.

Lena, you cannot buy a duke.

Just watch me.

I'll do my best, but if I fail.

You won't.

You can't.

Even if I succeed, it may not be enough.

I don't think I want to hear this.

Agnes, what else is there to be done?

We need a twofold attack.

I will try to sway the duke.

But you try to find another trick up your sleeve to deal with Mrs. Russell.

That is, if you want to win.

I'm glad you got it back, but please don't ever write another.

I know.

I won't write another.

That's all done with now.

Oh, have you finished playing a luncheon?

Are you all right?

You've been in a funny mood all morning.

Talbot, you're not a librarian.

What kind of work should I do?

They said my work cannot be considered since I don't belong to a

horological institute or a society.

I'm glad someone would come and sense finally joined the chorus.

That is horarararararachically.

Clockmakers.

So that's that then?

Not so fast, lad.

It's too good to be true.

Sanity returns to 61st Street.

Can't he just join one of those horo roro

and whatever these clubs?

I'm afraid he needs certificates and qualifications.

He hasn't got.

Is there a new way around it?

Mary, I expected your summons.

I hope you think I've done the right thing.

You're talking about Dachshal?

You said yourself he has all the gifts

a sensible woman could want.

Yes, but I didn't send for you.

But Uncle Luke wrote.

I wrote that we needed you to come.

And we do.

I saw another doctor.

He came here.

I have more than a bad Mac.

And I wanted Mary and here with us when I told you.

Tell me what?

First, I think we should all sit down.

Come, Peter.

Sit next to me.

Pain on mind to miss Armstrong.

What does she know anyway?

You're doing something none of us could ever imagine.

It's OK, bad hit.

Promise.

Promise.

I guess.

Are they quite sure?

I'm afraid so.

He has cancer.

Oh.

But how can that be?

He was here the other day.

The only thing wrong with him was a bad back.

This one starts with a bad back.

And then it spreads.

He's seen two doctors.

I must look after Ada.

Mary and please ask Bannister to fetch me a cab

and have Armstrong come and get me ready to go out.

Poor Aunt Ada.

She doesn't have much luck.

Come and lie down beside me.

We're going to get through this.

Who knows?

Maybe one day you'll be sharing your miracle from the pulpit.

Oh.

I'm here.

I'm here and you're not too worried.

Mr. Bannister, is everything all right?

I'm expecting Mrs. Bann Ryan at any moment,

but I have an invalid in the house.

And she's ringing him.

Sorry to hear that.

Mr. Church, a while ago you asked me to forget

our little contractile that time when you got me into trouble

with Mrs. Bann Ryan.

I remember you didn't think it was within your power to forgive me.

I was wrong.

For me at least, it is all forgotten entirely.

Where's Aunt Belu?

They wouldn't come.

Nothing I said would persuade them.

And now I'm going up. I'm exhausted.

Bannister, would you tell Armstrong?

Of course, Mom.

John, when Mrs. Bowerall have a tray in my room.

I guess what?

What's happening?

My aunt's husband has been taken ill.

And we hoped we could nurse him here, but it seems not.

I am sorry, especially when you ought to be celebrating.

Why?

Because you're engaged?

Oh.

Oh, yes.

This muse has rather driven that out of my head.

Please let me be of help.

Thank you.

I'll remember that.

What's he saying?

The strikers are still blocking the gates against the scabs.

They won't let them in the mills, but he's confident the guard can have them inside and working before too long.

How long?

Within the hour.

And the strikers can go home with nurse their bruises.

I must get down there. That is exactly what you can't do.

I'm not staying here if they're using guns.

Take me to the commanding officer.

Sir, it's not safe.

Do you think I'm going to sit in an office while my mills go up in flames?

Take me there now.

Yes, sir.

On behalf of these men, I ask you to leave.

If you stay, there will be bloodshed. I beg you, go!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...

What were those shots?

Please go back into the building, sir. Go back all of you. A shot safe for you to be here.

I am George Russell. These are my mills, and I demand to know what's happening.

They were warning shots. No one was hurt. One moment, sir.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Prepare to clear the way for the new workers

to get the mills back into production.

We have no wish to shed blood, but we shall do so.

We will mow every one of you down if we must.

You have one minute to clear the way.

A-A-A-A-A-A!

A-A-A-A-A!

Okay, ready to troops to fire.

A-A-A-A-A!

C'mon in!

Whoa!

A-A-A-A-A!

Work back!

Hold your ground!

Ready!

Hey!

Anderson, get your men back and take your son with you.

Why wait, they've had the warning, give the order.

Tell them to stand down.

What? Tell them.

Tell them.

Captain, stand down the troops.

Company, really cover?

Front rank, stand.
