[Bright music]

[Flourishing orchestral music]

[Birds chirping]

[Gentle music]

[John] Paris, my sweet, is
thoroughly French in every way.

We do business over coffee
and cognac the day long

and everyone is in a
race to dream up fashions

still more daring than
were worn yesterday.

I brought back silks from
tangier and, in no time,

they were in the window
of the bon marche

as the most audacious
gowns I've set my eyes upon.

But the bon marche
is not the paradise.

Paris is not home.

And you, my love, are not here.

[Waitress speaking French]

[John speaking French]

[Waitress speaking French]

[John chuckles]

[Waitress speaking French]

[John speaking French]

[John and waitress chuckling]

I want to promise you

that the time will come
when we are together.

Just to write down those words
makes the day more bearable.

Never forget, my
love, everything I do

is so that we can
be together again.

I want to feel your
breath on my face,

I want to feel your
eyes gazing at me,

I want to fill my
senses with you.

Come on, lads!
Slackers to the front.

I want every one of
these boxes inside

before anyone even
thinks about a cup of tea.

[Sam] Looks like a lot
of boxes, Mr. Dudley.

Royalty in these crates, Sam.

Royalty is sure to sell, sir.

- Sam!
- Whoa!

I was just about to catch
it! Thank you, Mr. Nathaniel.

- Susy.
- [Gentle music]

[John] I work
hard to fill the time

to make possible
what we are waiting for.

I tell myself that I would only
be apart from you for today.

That is as much as
I can bear, my love.

- Oh, Denise.
- Thank you.

Girls, girls.

Are we trying to vitalize
custom in the store

or are we contented
to expend our energy

on tittle-tattle the day long?

Our order book was once
bursting with commissions,

now look at it!

Yes, well.

We endeavour.

Now more than
ever we must strive

if the paradise is to survive.

Is it me or is she
starting to talk in rhymes?

How is moray?

He's back in Paris now,

but he misses all of us.

Misses the paradise.

The paradise misses him.

Oh! That's most
impressive, Mr. Dudley.

Chantilly lace flounce,

jet beading,

lined with burgundy silk.

As worn by Princess Alexandra.

- Oh.
- We have 200 of them.

Isn't that rather a
lot, Mr. Dudley, sir?

We must sell every one of them.

If we don't restore the
fortune to the paradise,

then lord glendenning
will go ahead with the sale

to the fenton brothers.

We're running out of time.

If you were looking for someone

to model one of them beauties
in the store, Mr. Dudley,

I would be willing to wear
one of them and nothing else.

Well, perhaps put on me
best drawers, for modesty.

We need to attract
customers, myrtle,

not frighten 'em off.

Dumplings is ready.

I have extensive advertising
placed in the newspapers

announcing the arrival of
the royal cape tomorrow.

Let's be sure we
take our chance.

It may be our last.

[Suspenseful music]

[Water gushing]

[Susy giggling]

[Distant clanging]

What is that sound?

[Suspenseful music]

[Water rushing]

[Susy shouting]

[Susy] Get the
capes! Get the capes!

The capes! All the
capes, grab them!

Get out, get out!

[Nathaniel] Get the capes!
Get the capes out of the way!

[Susy] Oh! Oh, no, no!

[Dramatic music]

- [Melancholy music]
- [Water dripping]

[Sighs] That's it.

As surely as I stand
here, we have lost.

Perhaps we can try
cleaning them up or...

Some of them were...

Maybe the ones at
the bottom aren't quite

- so badly damaged.
- Please don't.

Seems no matter
what I try comes to grief.

[Susy] Can't help thinking
this place is cursed.

Susy, don't say that.
Superstition won't help us.

This wasn't an accident.

Do you think someone
deliberately cut it?

She's right.

Why should this be
the pipe that breaks,

right here, by the boxes?

Oh, I'd rather believe witchery

than imagine someone
who works here

would do the likes of this.

Aye. See there.

[Flourishing orchestral music]

Telegram, sir.

Thank you, Arthur.

[Waiter speaking French]

[John speaking French]

[Flourishing orchestral
music continues]

Denise. Moray is coming back.

I don't understand.

He's been summoned. I
don't understand it, either.

Summoned by who?

A telegram from lord
glendenning's agent.

Moray is on his way.

[Bright orchestral music]

[Horse whinnies]

Mr. Dudley, sir.

Miss glendenning.

It is Mrs. Weston now, Dudley.

May I say how
delightful it is to be here

and to be greeted by you?

Might I inquire,
ma'am, the mourning?

My father passed away.

- My condolences, ma'am.
- Your tenderness

is greatly appreciated, Dudley.

Let me introduce my
husband, Mr. Tom Weston.

Tom, this is Dudley.

He has been taking
care of things for us.

Mr. Weston, sir.

Every day, surrounded by women.

I don't know whether
to envy you or pity you.

[Katherine and Tom chuckle]

Look at this place!

I should like to explore.

Perhaps you might be
so kind as to escort me?

You will find us
happy to oblige, sir.

Flora, my darling, I want
you to meet your new friends.

Flora is Mr. Weston's daughter.

[Gentle music]

Our daughter now.

My dearest, you may take
a look at the many treasures

this store has whilst I
speak with Mr. Dudley.

Perhaps one of the girls
might show you around.

Denise?

[Denise] I would be...

Yes, of course, ma'am.

Miss flora.

[Gentle music continues]

Sir, if you'd like to follow me.

Mrs. Weston.

How pleasant it is to
be in this room again.

We all of us enjoyed
such splendid times here.

I cannot tell you how already
it helps to assuage my grief.

Ma'am, I feel
obliged to tell you

that I wrote to your father.

Yes, I know.

Lord glendenning advised me.

His agent sent the telegram

informing me that
moray is to return.

That is not so.

Ma'am, I assure you,
I have the telegram.

It was not at my
father's bidding.

It was mine.

With my father passing,

I have taken on the
responsibility for the estate.

Myself and my
husband, of course.

Of course.

Then it is not your
intention to sell, ma'am?

Your faith and
dedication, Dudley,

during a most
difficult time has been,

well, all that I might expect
from a man of your esteem.

I realise that
events of a year ago

will cause no little
consternation but it will pass.

It is not a flogging offence

for a woman to abandon
her wedding plans.

My father was intent on selling.

I am, shall we say,

more open-minded on the matter.

Tell me about Denise.

What do you want to
know about her, sir?

The way she was
looking at my wife just now.

She was frightened.

Your wife is
Katherine glendenning.

We're all afraid of her.

Why do you suppose I
asked you to escort me, Clara?

Mm, well, my fine cheekbones?

Apart from your lovely bones.

You're not fearful of my wife.

Everyone else had
their eyes on Katherine,

your eyes were fixed on Denise.

You are quite the spy, sir.

If I may be
permitted to ask, sir,

we are all wondering, if
the paradise is to be sold,

why has Mr. Moray been recalled?

[Suspenseful music]

Oh, we are indeed selling.

That much is certain.

[Boy knocking]

[Tender orchestral music]

I thought that when I saw you

it'd be the same
as it was but it's not.

Of course it's not,
it's so much better.

[Denise giggles]

I thought I would
hold you and kiss you

and that would be enough.

Oh, when I look at you, when
I feel your eyes on me, I...

Denise, will you marry
me? Marry me now!

John, it was Katherine
who arranged for your return.

Answer my question!

Why would she bring you
back? She's married now.

Then, that is her reason.

[Sighs] Katherine has
found her own happiness.

We no longer matter to her.

You don't believe that
any more than I do.

I know that nothing is ever
as it appears with Katherine

but whatever it is she's doing,

it means I can come
back to the paradise.

She seemed, I don't know, calm.

I want to say kind.
It frightened me.

I fear she'll send
you away again.

She will never again
come between us.

I promise you, Denise.

I have prayed for this,
to be here with you.

If Katherine wants me to work
in her store as her manager,

I will smile and do it,

but every day I will be plotting
to take back what is mine,

what I've spent my life building,
what was stolen from me.

You haven't
answered my question.

[Tender orchestral
music continues]

Thank you, darling, for
coming to live in this house.

It means so much to me.

Flora will love it here,
i'm sure, as I did as a girl.

Why did you wait until
the day of the wedding

to call off your
marriage to moray?

It was such a cruel business.

But I do not regret what I did.

I wouldn't be here with you if
I hadn't come to my senses.

You haven't
answered my question.

[Pensive music]

Why was it on the very day of
the wedding that you withdrew?

My father warned me many
times I was being foolish.

I persisted in denying him.

It was only when I
was truly facing a life

with a man I could not love

that I saw the recklessness
of what I was about to do.

Aren't you tired
after such a day?

I am enjoying
being here with you.

But you are tired.

You should go to bed.

Perhaps I am a little weary.

Why did you not tell me
that you've recalled moray?

Oh, did I not?

I'm sorry, everything
has happened so quickly.

Heavens.

Perhaps the grief has stricken
me more than I care to admit.

But if that place is
to be disposed of,

why would you
want him back here?

I know why you're here.

You want to come in as
partner in my shop, start again.

Lovett and moray. Notice
the order of the names.

No, no, that's not why
I've come back, Edmund.

You have to admit,
there's a certain poetry to it.

You, the little fella,

fighting against
that giant over there.

I have missed you, Edmund.

Ah, well, if you've got
nowhere else to stay,

you can spend the night here.

I never thought I'd hear
myself say those words.

I should get back.

[Bell tinkles]

[Pensive music]

[Fenton] Moray.

I didn't know. No one did.

Mr. Dudley just said
he received a telegram.

It would seem they want
to out manoeuvre us.

They have brought him
back to intimidate us.

I will need you to act on
my behalf again, Nathaniel.

Mr. Fenton, sir,

you promised me
there'd be no more,

that we were finished
with this deception.

Do you suppose I have
worked and planned

this past year to let
them outwit me now?

No! Moray will only
prosper if we allow him to.

I know the man.

He will try some
extravagant scheme.

We will turn it on him and let
him devise his own downfall.

[Nathaniel knocking]

Susy.

What are you doing?

If we are caught up here
we'll both be dismissed.

[Nathaniel] Should we
walk out on Sunday?

You came up here
just to ask me that?

Just wanted to see you.

I wanted to, oh, I don't know.

I couldn't sleep. I
wanted to tell you.

Yes? Yes, what, tell me what?

Every day I'm waiting
for Sunday to come,

so it's just me and
you the whole day.

- Yes.
- Just us.

What did you want to tell me?

[Sighs] I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have come up
here. I'll see you in the morning.

[Gentle music]

I think he just told
me he loves me.

But I'm not quite sure.

[Clock bell tolling]

[Flourishing orchestral music]

As ever, you're the
first in to work, Dudley.

Still not early enough to
arrive before you, moray.

[Laughs] I've missed your jibes.

Don't worry, I've been
saving them up for you.

This is our chance, Dudley.

This is what we have worked for.

I thought I'd failed you.

I never doubted you.

We start today.

Dudley, I wish to
address the staff,

all of them, first thing.

I'll gather them together
before we open the doors.

Katherine may own the paradise,
but she will never own me.

I don't know how
long it will take us

but this will be ours once more.

As of today, we will close
the store. Sam, put up a sign.

Oh, we all said you were
bound to kick things into life.

Close the door, that's
the best sales promotion

- I've ever heard.
- Sam.

I have a task especially
suited to your gifts, Sam.

Modelling fine suits? Charming
the daughters of the rich?

Gossip.

See? We know you
better than you think we do.

When have I ever
been known to gossip?

I heard you this
morning in the yard,

saying Mr. Moray's back,
all hell will break loose!

Word will travel across
the city that I have returned.

I need you to add to the
foment. Embellish the story.

Not sure I know
how to embellish, sir.

And while we're closed,
curiosity will grow.

I will stay out of
sight until we open.

But when we do, we
must be ready to sell

to everyone who has
come here to gawp.

Oh, and one more thing.
We have goods arriving today.

Let's fill up the store.

[Arthur] What
goods, Mr. Moray, sir?

The likes of which you've
never seen before, Arthur!

I think he means
clean trousers, Arthur!

- [Staff murmuring]
- [Frenetic orchestral music]

Sorry, Mr. Weston, Mrs.
Weston, we're closed.

Under Mr. Moray's instructions.

But of course we're
open for you, sir.

Mr. Moray, sir? Mr. Weston.

Mr. Weston! I'm glad
you've called in on us.

The store is closed.

Indeed, indeed.

It is my intention, sir, to
create something of a splash,

to reopen with a fanfare.

Well, you might have
discussed such a radical move

with my wife and I.

For the paradise to
stand empty might appear

as if the whole
enterprise is floundering

at the very time of our return.

Then let me offer
my apologies, sir.

It was simply that I
wish to act decisively.

My staff are used to seeing
me run the business in that way

and the idea is in part
to buoy their confidence.

Mr. Moray's experience,
especially after this last year,

will be sorely
needed, Mr. Weston.

On my travels, sir, I have
gathered all manner of exotica.

Exotica?

Yes, yes. The most
delightful clothes, ornaments-

how amusing.

Well I hope it will be
more than amusing, sir.

Oh, what do I know about
managing a department store?

I've been a soldier all my life.

I understand nothing
about hosiery. [Chuckles]

My wife has come
in to buy dresses.

Then I must offer her my
condolences for her bereavement.

Oh, let the women
be, with their trifles.

You have business
to tend to, moray.

And so do I.

Thank you.

This is the best
part of the shop.

Why, miss Glen...

Mrs. Weston.

We are fortunate
indeed to see you so well,

to see you back
with us again after,

after your travels.

Flora and I have decided we
would like matching dresses.

Perhaps you could
have us measured up?

Of course!

It is our honour to serve you
and our delight to see you!

May we congratulate
you on your marriage?

A true blessing for
anyone, all of us,

to find such a blessing,
to be so blessed.

Perhaps one of your girls?

- Clara.
- I wish to show no favouritism

but Denise has always
served me so well.

Yes, of course.

Denise!

- [Hammer clanking]
- [Suspenseful music]

Did you see him?

There's nothing in this
world like Mr. Moray.

You just have to look at him
and you know all will be well.

[Nathaniel grunting]

Nathaniel! What is it?

There's work to do and the lads

are nowhere to
be seen, that's all.

I wanted to make a good
impression on Mr. Moray.

You will, of course you will.

Mr. Dudley's always saying

you're the best store
man ever there was.

If Mr. Moray doesn't see
it then I will tell him myself.

Flora's quite taken
with you, Denise.

[Denise] She's a
sweet girl, ma'am.

One can never guess
at the turns of fate.

How could I imagine a year ago

I would be here now like this?

With a 10-year-old child
under my care to love.

She will want to visit the
store regularly, I'm sure.

Will you look after her for me?

If that is what you want, ma'am.

Denise.

I must apologise to you.

To me, ma'am?

When we last spoke, I,

I was not quite myself.
The circumstances...

There was
considerable confusion.

It was only when I
admitted to myself

that I could not
possibly marry moray,

that I did not love him, that...

I realised that I
meant you no harm.

Do you see?

- Yes ma'am.
- It was a ridiculous notion

to believe that I could
marry a storekeeper.

To be at war with a shop girl.

[Inquisitive music]

I am so glad to see that
you are still here with us.

[Flora] Mama!

Yes, flora, my darling?

[Fenton] The price was agreed

with lord glendenning's agent.

But that was the value
when the store was in decline.

What I propose is to sell
the paradise reinvigorated.

Is that why you
brought moray back?

To squeeze a better
offer out of me?

It would be a weakling
man who did not seek

a fair price for his assets.

A businessman of your stature
will surely appreciate that,

- Mr. Fenton.
- Indeed.

Does moray know that
you will toss him aside

when he has served your purpose?

Moray is my concern.

My employee.

What if matters do not
go as you planned, sir?

Have you considered that
fortunes may not improve?

Suppose moray's
return brings disaster?

Will that then be
reflected in your valuation?

I see no reason to
imagine such an outcome.

The man is cavalier!

He has a reputation
for over-confidence.

You believe you have
me in a bind. I accept that.

But if moray fails you,

then you will understand
if I return the favour.

You have no other buyers.

Should you sell to me today,

I will honour the
price already agreed.

But if you gamble
on moray, then you,

you risk diminishing
the value of the paradise.

- [Gentle music]
- [Birds chirping]

[Servant] This way.

Katherine.

Moray. I thought it
best we speak here.

Yes, of course, I understand.

I was sorry to hear
about your father.

He missed his home.

I think it took its toll on him.

Oh, please, sit down.

Katherine, I'm grateful
you've permitted me to return.

You have been brought
back to restore the fortunes

of an asset my family now owns.

Yes, what I meant
was I do not wish

this moment to pass
without acknowledging

-how difficult- -really, moray.

Gallantry would be an
unwelcome touch of sentimentality

when there is no call for it.

I would not wish for things

to be any different
than they are.

-Then I am glad that- -it
was an audacious move

to close the store.

Well, I hope that it
will be to our benefit.

I have goods for sale,

all manner of exotic,
imported temptations

and I want to make our
customers wait to see them,

to feed their curiosity.

That is not the only thing

you want them to
be curious about.

You wish also to play
on your own notoriety.

Then let me apologise.

I seem unable to
shake off that part of me

which is no more
than a vulgar salesman.

Closing the doors to the store

has made my husband doubt you.

The sale must prove
to him that the paradise

and you are a
glittering success.

[John] Miss flora.

Can we go to the paradise
again, mama? I did love it so.

[Chuckles] I'm glad
to hear you're so taken

with the store, flora.

And Denise. Can
we see Denise again?

You are confident
that your exotic imports

will return the paradise
to its former glory?

- I am.
- They must.

If you fail, Tom
will insist we sell.

Neither you nor I want
such an outcome, do we?

Mr. Nathaniel, sir, I
have saved a nice piece

of boiled bacon for you.

Unless you prefer the pie.

What I like best about
him is his manliness.

A man needs to be a man,

- doesn't he?
- Can someone please tell me,

did she just say there
was more boiled bacon

when a moment
ago there was none?

Or not for the likes
of Sam, anyway!

No, it's his kindness.

I'll have the pie, please,
myrtle. Let Sam have the bacon.

No, oh, no, no.

- I'll have the pie!
- No, it's his handsomeness

I like best.

'Cause if I have
the boiled bacon

I'll feel like I'm having
someone's leftovers!

I'll have the bacon!

There's only one thing
better than boiled bacon

and that's more boiled bacon.

If I had been out bloody front

I'd have seen with
me own two eyes.

Lady Katherine glendenning
in mourning and married!

Brazen as the day she
was bare-arsed born.

All I get down
here's the gossip.

If I was up top,
I'd see the deeds!

Is there any wonder you
are kept out of sight, myrtle?

Such coarseness and obscenity

might make you friends
after dark in a farmyard.

What is required in
a department store

is a degree of humanity.

[Chuckles] Perhaps
you're right, miss Audrey.

I did once enjoy an hour
under the moon with a cowman.

But I'll say this.

I am not so dry as a stick

that I would break in half if a
man so much as touched me.

- [Cutlery clatters]
- [Chair scrapes]

[Gentle music]

Another hand?

It's late. You ought
to be getting back.

I will not break,
Edmund, if you touch me.

Edmund.

Will you marry me?

Yes! [Giggles]

That's one.

Oh. [Giggles]

- [Man gasping in pain]
- [Tender music]

I always know
when it is hurting you.

If you tell me when it
burns, I will comfort you.

Like the first night.

Is that what you
want, my darling?

Yes. Yes, it is.

[Pensive music]

[Tom sobbing]

[Men arguing]

[Pensive music continues]

Susy, come and look at this.

Who's this man
talking with Nathaniel?

There's no one there!

They were there.

Nathaniel and another man.

They seemed to be arguing.

Susy, is there something
troubling Nathaniel?

He has seemed agitated.

Has he spoken to
you about anything

or have you seen anything?

No, nothing. Nothing at all.

He is just as he always is.

There was just that
business in the yard.

What business in the yard?

Well, him kicking at
crates and cursing.

Susy, when he came
up here to see you,

I could only see him
from the doorway but,

there seemed to be tears
in his eyes, like he was,

I don't know, desperate.

You're scaring me, Denise.
Why are you talking like this?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Don't worry. I'm
sure it's nothing.

I think we must all be
feeling the strain a little.

[John] Pack it
all tight together,

there's plenty more in the bays.

I want the place to feel crammed,
brimming with temptations!

[Bright music]

[Crowd chattering]

[Susy screams]

It were a black thing.

Huge and black and,

and its tail were
curled, curled up.

It was coming from a crate, and-

and you're certain
that's what you saw?

It ran away so
fast, it vanished!

If it's come out of
one of the boxes,

it's come all the way
from China or the likes.

Thank you, myrtle.

Scorpions are terrible
poisonous. They kill people.

One sting, you're dead.

Thank you, myrtle. I'm
sure you have work to do.

It could be anywhere. It
could be in my kitchen.

[Gasps] It could
be in the store.

[Dudley] Myrtle! That's enough!

But it's true, isn't it?

Well, we'll just
have to find it.

How are we supposed to
find a creature that small?

We'll have to move everything!

Sam, have you seen Nathaniel?

He's probably in the yard,
throwing his weight about.

No, he's not in the yard.

It's impossible, that's what.
And suppose we don't...

What about them out there?

We cannot open the
store until it is discovered.

We'll just have to find it.

I want it found, I
just don't want to be

the one who finds it.

Well, surely the
creature would not come

all the way up the
stairs to ladies wear.

I refuse to imagine
such savagery

here amongst our refinement.

I don't think anybody's
told the scorpion

he's not welcome.

Mr. Weston. If I might
have a word with you, sir.

Uh, scorpions, from one of
the crates from the delivery.

If a customer were to open it...

If a customer were to
get stung, they would die.

Susy! Was Nathaniel with
you when you saw the scorpion?

I'm glad he was there,

otherwise I might
have died of the fright.

Are you sure of what you saw?

I can see the thing
still in my mind.

I hope I never
see the likes again.

You know what it means?

If we can't find it,

if we have to turn
those customers away,

it would cause so much
damage to our hopes.

But I saw it. Why
do you doubt me?

Before you saw it,

the way you were
talking, it sounded...

Did Nathaniel see it first?

Did he describe
what he had seen?

I don't know, he, he might have.

Why does it matter?
I saw it myself.

[Tom] The risk to the...

Ah, moray! We were wondering
when you might join us.

Might I ask, what is the
purpose of this gathering?

We must call off the opening.

I will not permit one customer
to set foot through the door.

Mr. Weston, if we
might speak privately?

I am sure that amongst
your many gifts, moray,

you have the capacity to change.

At least have the
courtesy to sit down.

Sir, while we are here talking,

we could be out there
searching for the thing.

If we find it, then we
can still open today.

Is that your best hope?

If one customer sees
the damn creature

it will be a disaster
for the val...

For the reputation
of this place.

The customers are here.

We can't turn them away.

We cannot let them
see us faltering.

I had all manner
of foreign goods

shipped to the bon marche.

And yes, sometimes there
were beetles and bugs.

But my employers did not buckle

for fear a customer might
get a glimpse of nature!

I have ordered all the crates

to be removed from
the loading bays.

A department store
is built on confidence.

That is what we need now!

Forgive my forthrightness, sir,

but what qualifies me
to know what is best

for the paradise
is my experience.

I have never so much
as bought a necktie,

if you're wondering
what qualifies me-

- i am!
- I own the paradise!

That is qualification enough.

I intend to sell to
the fenton brothers.

I will conclude my
business with them today,

before any further
damage can be done.

[Nathaniel grunts]

Nathaniel, I saw the money.

You saw nothing, Denise.
Let me get on with my work.

Please, I know
that susy loves you,

and I believe that you love her,

I'm just trying to understand.

I saw you from my
window, Nathaniel.

Last night, fighting with
that man, arguing with him-

you're too bloody
clever, that's what!

You let me go, do you hear me?

But it's you that's
got a hold of her.

Why would you
do this to all of us?

Have we not been friends to you

these past few months
since you came here?

I have done nothing wrong.

I know a lie when I
see it in a man's face.

It's because of what susy saw

that the store is closed.

If she is wrong, do you see?

She's the one to blame.

But I saw the
creature. I saw it!

Nathaniel, whatever the
reason, could you do that to susy?

But I saw it!

[Pensive music]

I saw it.

You didn't see anything, susy.

I put it there. I put
it into your mind.

I took you on. Gave you work.

And this is how you
would repay me?

You would betray us!

Is it true?

Have you been working
on the fenton's behalf?

They told me it would
be a little spying,

no more, all I had to
do was a bit of spoiling.

But it's not a bit
of spoiling, is it?

You're out to ruin
every hope we have!

I kept asking them,
"can I leave now?"

But they told me
they would expose me

if I didn't do what
they'd asked.

So when the capes were
spoiled, I was sure it was all done.

The store was to be sold.

They brought moray
back, and I panicked.

I didn't want to use you, susy.

I didn't know what I was doing.

Be gone by the end of the day.

Or I'll have the
constables after you.

[John] Let's get
the store ready.

We open in 15 minutes!

[Flourishing orchestral music]

[Women chattering]

[Customers clamouring]

Let me show you
our new silks, ladies.

Look at the colours.

I had to travel miles and miles

over dangerous
mountains to find these.

Magnificent, isn't it?

If you would like to
follow me to ladies wear,

you can try on a dress so rare

that only an empress of the
qing dynasty might wear it.

Heaven knows what the
man got up to in China.

Some of his tales I'd rather
not hear. I'm still young.

Now, was it four yards you
said you wanted? Or was it six?

And how are things
in ladies wear, Clara?

If I could get through
the door, sir, I'd tell you.

Miss Audrey's doing fittings.

The last time miss
Audrey did fittings,

I was in short
trousers. [Chuckles]

See?

Now that Mr. Moray's back,
it'll be like this every day.

I never saw
anything so beautiful.

One day it'll be me out there.

- [Gentle music]
- [People chattering]

I must congratulate
you, Mr. Weston.

Would you take me for
a pigeon, Mr. Fenton?

Would you pick my pocket?

Do you look at me
and see an easy Mark?

I lost. I accept that.

You can't blame
a man for trying.

I will pay your price.

Some men have little
forgiveness in them.

I am a soldier. I have none.

I would not sell a
shoelace to you, sir.

If you do not leave my store,

I will personally remove you.

[Bright orchestral music]

Katherine.

I must congratulate you, moray.

The paradise once more
responds to your touch.

I hope we've proven
to your husband

that there's no
need to sell the store.

Oh, I would not
have let him do that.

I can see you are
glad to be back.

Mm.

That is understandable.

Would you like to see
it in a different colour?

You are my employer
now, Katherine.

I will serve you as best I can.

I am certain you will.

[Bright orchestral
music continues]

After today, I've taken
quite a fancy to this place.

That doesn't surprise me, sir.

Moray is quite a man.

I'm pleased to hear
he's earned your respect,

Mr. Weston, sir.

[Tom chuckles]

Did they take his
store away from him?

Did lord glendenning
banish moray from the city?

I'm just a shop girl, sir.

I don't understand the plots
and intrigues of business.

What about the wedding?

What are people saying?

That he called it off?

We may be poor,
sir, but we're not fools.

Your wife is the
most beautiful woman

I've ever set eyes upon.

Everyone can see that.
She's rich beyond imagining.

Moray loves nothing better

than the thought of
conquering this city.

He's made of ambition.

Why would a man
like him not want

to marry Katherine glendenning?

You and I are going to
get along splendidly, Clara.

I'm going to be about
the business of the store.

Come to me if you need anything.

[People chattering]

Mr. Moray is buying
you all a drink tonight.

Whoa!

Isn't it marvellous
how your thirst swells

when the bosses are buying?

Hey, I warned you about
Nathaniel, didn't I, Mr. Dudley?

No, you didn't, Sam.

Well, I meant to. I warned
you lot, didn't I, Denise?

[Myrtle] Show a little
consideration for susy, Sam.

Susy'll recover.

Women have a hearty
constitution when it comes to men.

You know what girls do

when they get their
heart broke by a bad fella?

[Both] She looks
for another one.

And hasn't Katherine
glendenning found herself a gem?

I have a feeling Mr. Weston
could make the devil blush.

Oh, she'll be a match
for him, fear not.

Hey, it's not what they do to
each other that bothers me.

It's what they'll do to us.

Oh, well, let's drink
to that, then, eh?

Did you say there's free
drinks all night, Mr. Dudley?

Cause I think my thirst
has just overtaken myrtle's.

Do you see, my love?

This is what I
wrote to you about.

This is what I've
been waiting for,

to be here with you again.

I could see you today across
the store and I was thinking-

this is how it should be.

The paradise,
bursting with customers.

But at the same time, thinking-

longing for them all to go.

So we could have
the place to ourselves.

I thought they'd never leave.

So you see?

There could be no
better time for us to marry.

I do.

I do see that.

[John sighs happily]

Does Katherine
seem happy to you?

Why do you ask?

You've said that's why she
allowed you to come back.

Back here, back to me.

Because she has her
own happiness now.

Yes, in her own way,
she seems content.

She clearly adores
the child and...

You haven't
answered my question.

Why has she brought you back?

John, I want the same
as you do. Of course I do.

To be married, to be
together, because I love you.

But if we do that, think
how Katherine might react.

She's not as accepting as
she would like us to believe.

Are we to deny
ourselves the thing

we desire most because of her?

My love, you are here.

That is enough. For now.

We do not even know
yet how it might be possible

to take the paradise
back from her.

All of our efforts
must go into that.

We must tread carefully.

We must wait, do you
see? We must wait.
