[Horse whinnies]

Clémence, what a delight it is to see you again.

[Speaking in French]

No one flatters me as you do, mademoiselle.

[Speaking in French]

Did I ever deny you, clémence?

What did she say to him?

I don't know.

Whatever it was, I wish she was sayin' it to me.

[Dudley] Excuse me.

Until now, who could afford such extravagance.

Only the wealthy.

I always feel that fun is wasted on the rich, don't you?

There are enough pleasures in life to go around, I hope.

I hope so too.

We have found a way to make my beautiful creation

so that anyone can afford them.

And you want us to offer them in the paradise?

Oh, you disappoint me, darling.

[Speaking in French]

Not offer them, no.

Sell them, sell lots of them.

Clémence, if you make the fireworks cheaply-

[John] Oh, please let us not waste our lives talking.

I will show you tonight.

Darling, we will light up the skies.

[Clémence laughing]

So did he write about her in his letters then?

Nope, no he didn't.

Well, you think he would.

If I met someone like her, I would.

So, who's gonna get miss Audrey's job then?

I am not departed quite yet myrtle.

I'm only saying miss Audrey,

since you're to marry,

they'll be wantin' someone for your position.

I have to say, it is all rather sudden.

You don't have to say, myrtle, you choose to say.

And I would contend

that 23 years of courtship has a certain decorum to it.

I wouldn't know, 23 minutes were really slow for me.

We're very pleased for you miss Audrey.

You'll have to plan the wedding and the honeymoon.

That all takes time.

You're not gettin' married right away like

so you're not leavin' us just yet.

Yes, well, we shall see.

If I was gettin' married,

I wouldn't be wearing a face like that.

[Susy] Well, it does make you wonder, doesn't it?

Who will be head of ladies wear?

- [People chattering] - [Bright music]

Ma'am, may I ask, were you thinking-

[Clara] Will you be marryin' soon?

How many years have I considered?

If I marry, I will lose my position.

If I hold onto my employment,

I will never know the joys of marriage.

I deliberate and ruminate and am froze with indecision

so the only way is for me to leap.

Leap?

If I dither, I will die a spinster.

I have some savings,

a cottage that my brother left to me by the sea.

I have told Mr. Moray that I am leaving.

Marrying, leaving.

[Speaking in French]

I do so love the long trains and the cut.

What it does for a woman's body.

[Speaking in French]

Tell me what you think, Clara.

The pleated ruffles do give a soft influence, ma'am.

Oh please, I know how you English

do so prefer your deference but you must call me clémence.

Bows, buttons, and braids.

Why do we love them so much?

Is it because they draw the eye?

I think that every decision we make is guided, no,

determined by passion, sexual passion.

What do you think, girls?

Perhaps, madam, I might suggest

to accompany the silk velvet hat with the ribbon streamers.

[Clémence] Of course you are right,

because you're a woman who knows her calling.

Thank you madam, ma'am, mademoiselle.

Clémence.

It is only my first visit to the paradise

but miss Audrey, I cannot imagine this place without you.

[Melancholy music]

[Fireworks sputtering]

See that, Arthur, add a bit of flame and what happens?

Stuff starts spinnin', sparks shootin'

and flyin' all over the place.

What does that remind you of?

A thunderstorm?

Women, Arthur, women.

[Arthur] Yeah, but it's pretty and excitin'.

Oh, Arthur me lad,

you have just described man's eternal dilemma.

She's so beautiful innit she Denise?

I can't imagine what it must be like

to be such a woman, can you?

I bet men fall for her all the time.

If I was a man, I'd fall for her.

Would you, Denise?

I think I could resist.

And I didn't realise that French people were so French,

I mean all that touchin' and kissin' and flirtin'.

- [Fireworks whooshing] - [People laughing]

[Fireworks popping]

Clémence, this is Mr. Tom Weston.

He's the owner of the paradise.

Mademoiselle romanis,

I hope you've been made welcome.

[Speaking in French]

I would not wish you to think that we English are as cold

and inhospitable as our reputation.

Perhaps you might have dinner with me while you're here.

I would be delighted, monsieur Weston.

I would not care for you

to believe we French are as rude as our reputation.

[Tom laughs]

Excuse me.

[People oohing]

[Tom] So, how long will you be staying?

Wouldn't it be something

to have fireworks like that at our wedding, Audrey?

At our age?

It would be brash and tasteless.

We must reach for understatement, Edmund.

At our age, I say we should celebrate.

You do seem awfully friendly with her, that's all.

I am awfully friendly with clémence.

Did you see her when you were in Paris?

All the time.

I was a buyer and she was the best supplier we had

at the beaumarchais.

Did you dine with her?

Yes, she's wonderful company,

Denise, I'm sorry, but clémence is not my client

and I can assure you, despite what you see,

I'm not her type either.

[Clémence laughing]

[Miss Audrey] Will you miss this street, do you think?

I might never leave.

I put that sign up.

Not had so much as a peep through the window.

My brother's cottage is standing empty.

It has been since he died.

We'll head out there at weekends.

Do some work, make it ready.

I have been wondering.

[Fireworks popping]

Why must we wait?

[People oohing]

Tell me about Mr. Weston.

He's married?

Oh yes.

He's married to Catherine glendenning.

Oh, I have heard about her.

She's the reason moray was in Paris.

She's not a woman to be crossed.

The price is good.

We can have the firecrackers in our store

by the end of the week.

We must not let her believe

that we've made a decision yet.

But sir, I've already indicated to clémence-

[Tom] Then you were too hasty.

Mr. Weston, the display

has proven how good her product is.

What benefit is there in delay?

If she feels we're too keen

then the deal will be made on her terms.

Let her woo us.

They're talkin' about you.

They're men, they're talking about business.

Mr. Weston is telling them

that they must not offer me the contract

until he has taken me out to dinner.

[Fireworks sizzling]

[Chains clanking]

[Clara] Is he dead?

Jonas, get him inside.

[Man groaning]

[Suspenseful music]

Denise, fetch some hot water.

Least we can do is clean the poor feller up.

I want anybody who is not needed out of this room now,

bosses included.

Bosses most of all.

That's a fever if ever I saw one.

- [Man muttering] - [Woman shushing]

Don't talk.

Sleep.

You're gonna be safe now.

I might forget I've come to the paradise to do business

and spend all of my time here with girls

and your room, full of treasure.

Well, we are pleased

that you are pleased, mademoiselle clémence.

Forgive me.

But I overheard the conversation yesterday.

You are leaving?

[Speaking in French]

When a woman marries, she must forfeit her office.

She's outta the job

before the veil's pulled from her face.

[Clémence] But there are men who work here

who are married.

Mr. Jodilee, clive in menswear, Alan in menswear,

David in haberdashery.

Yes, thank you Clara.

Half the porters are married.

Perhaps I might understand

if woman intends to have children,

but it is not so with you, is it Audrey?

As I have explained, mademoiselle, it is the way.

It is the way.

It is the way the men have decided upon.

Denise.

[Denise] Mademoiselle clémence.

Moray's girl.

I see now why he spoke of nothing

but Denise, Denise, Denise, all of the time in Paris.

I'm sure that's not true, mademoiselle.

There is only one thing more heartbreaking

for a woman than a dinner with a man perspiring with lust

and that is dinner with a man pining for his love.

But now that I see you, I can forgive him.

What do you think of miss Audrey's predicament, Denise?

I'm pleased that she wishes to marry,

to be with the man that she loves.

But that is not what I asked you.

What do you think of a woman robbed of her position?

A woman with experience,

a woman brimming with best qualities cast out

because we live in a man's world.

I think it's wrong.

Of course you do.

What do you girls do with yourself in the evenings?

I go to the inn across the street.

We will all go there tonight.

Mademoiselle, it's a murky little den of a place.

I'm not sure you'd find it to your tastes.

Might I borrow some paper?

I must write a note to Mr. Weston

to tell him I can not join him for a dinner after all.

I'm busy tonight.

Miss Audrey, you will join us.

The inn, I've never...

I would not countenance the inn.

But aren't you curious?

I am.

I've invited you, you wouldn't offend your French guest

by refusing, would you?

Why've you come back? Jonas?

I did not come here at my own bidding, sir.

I was brought here.

You're not welcome.

You're not wanted.

I don't see much clearly at the moment, sir.

But I see that.

Business who borrows death.

Why did the constable not come after ya?

There's no mystery, Mr. Dudley, sir.

I paid the man, like many people here abouts.

He had no regard for Bradley burroughs.

You murdered a man.

If you imagine that such an arrangement allows you

to stay here, then you are mistaken.

Porridge!

It's better than meat for putting meat on a man.

You always loved your porridge, Mr. Jonas.

How did you come to be in such a state?

I don't know.

How did you come to be on that waggon?

I don't know.

You don't know a lot do ya?

The fever has drained the life out of you.

When you're well enough to walk, you'll be on your way.

So I thought you could put on a display of the fireworks,

invite all kinds of people

and set out a stall in the street to sell the firecrackers.

So you like clémence now?

I shall ignore that.

It's a marvellous idea.

I'm glad I thought of it.

I have no eyes for other women, Denise.

They do not exist.

I've found the woman I will marry.

[Peaceful music]

I'm so glad my darling,

you have readily taken to the business of the paradise.

But I must confess,

I didn't imagine you would go in there every day.

Moray has a French woman.

Supplying him with fireworks.

I want to make sure he isn't beguiled into a bad deal.

Firecrackers?

Can I see them, daddy?

[Katherine] So she's French.

Yes.

I'm having dinner with her tonight.

Well, I'm glad you find the paradise so engaging, darling.

[Tom] The head of ladies wear is leaving.

[Katherine] Miss Audrey?

[Tom] Yeah.

She is to marry.

So one of the girls will be promoted.

[Tom] Does it matter?

[Eerie music]

I realised that so long as I worked for a man,

I would never be more than a [speaking in French].

What do you say?

A chattel?

A chattel.

I looked at the man and I asked myself,

can I do what they do?

And the answer was yes.

The answer was, I can do it better than they did.

So you started your own business.

I have an idea of something people might like to buy.

I find someone who can make it for me.

I supply to le beaumarchais or any other store.

I live a good life.

I'm just happy to have a job.

Well, that is all very well in France, mademoiselle.

In england, we prefer to cling onto our civilization.

Does this civilization makes you feel contented?

[Sam] Good lord, is a harem or a hen party?

You can join us Sam, you're as good as one of the girls.

Hey, I am not one of the girls, if you don't mind.

There's one or two lass can prove it.

I'll have a drink at the bar.

Please, lift up your glass.

All of you, now wait.

Life is passion, isn't that true?

What is more passionate than a woman?

If a woman can be what she decides to be.

If a woman can love and follow her own calling,

then she can determine her own life.

I ask you to drink a women's passion.

Who will drink with me?

[Women laughing]

- [Bright music] - [Rain pattering]

I never thought i'd play with anyone before.

I feel as though I'm a bit drunk.

I am a bit drunk, I suppose.

Never met anyone like you, clémence,

the world will soon be filled with women like me

but what about you, Denise?

There is too much about you to be a shop girl or a wife.

What do you want to be?

[Speaking in French]

I want to be moray.

I mean, I don't want to be a man.

I dream of running the paradise.

Not just for the glamour of it,

although I do like the idea

of swishing around in a fine dress.

But for the work, that is what I love

and to have an idea or make a decision

or someone gives me the opportunity to take the lead.

I feel...

I can't quite describe it.

There are so many things that we do.

When we admit to our passion we are free.

We can have what we want,

be who we want to be.

I knew you see things the same as I do.

Is it true?

It is true.

You're so beautiful.

No.

No one will know.

We can have whatever we want.

I'll know.

I don't want this.

Perhaps I could suggest, sir,

we make a decision based on the prices she's outlined

on the guarantee of a regular supply.

No, we wait.

What if she returns to Paris

and there's been no dinner engagement?

Oh, she will dine with me.

Mr. Weston, I know clémence.

She is flighty.

Where men are concerned, she likes to tease and play.

I know women like clémence.

What they respond to is being mastered.

Why does it matter that she is a woman?

We must consider this business.

We treat her as we do any other supplier.

We are all gentlemen together.

You know what I intend.

I find her irresistible, why should I resist?

Mr. Weston, clémence does not respond

to gentleman suitors.

You're telling me she's a chased French maid?

She prefers the role of seducer.

You think I can't overcome her resistance.

I would prefer you did not try.

You tried, didn't you in Paris?

And she rejected you [laughs].

We're all gentlemen together.

I feel I've been pressed into a club I have no wish to join.

If he sees no reason to hide his intentions from us.

You're the expert.

I mean, you've lived amongst the French.

How do we deal with this?

We don't.

She does.

If you toy with him, he will set himself against you

and I cannot guarantee you will get the contract.

Well, what would you have me do darling.

Submit to him?

Hide away?

Run away?

I warn you, clémence,

Tom Weston is made of a different mettle.

Well, I see no reason to let him bully me

because he's a spoiled englishman used

to having his own way.

Do you, Denise?

Do you want me to leave so you can talk, Mr. Moray?

No, no, there's no need for that, Denise.

Do you intend to take him on?

Well, I like men like Tom Weston

because it is so easy to know them.

Such men, it's a child's play to tame them.

Denise, might I borrow some paper?

I'm going to write to Mr. Tom Weston

to tell him I cannot meet him for a dinner tonight.

[Dramatic orchestral music]

[Clara] I'm so sorry.

I've got the wrong pair.

I'll fetch the correct ones for you.

Clara, mademoiselle clémence kissed me.

[Clara gasps]

She kissed you?

She wanted to seduce me.

But she's moray's friend.

Have you told him?

I should.

Then why don't you?

I don't know.

If she was a man, you'd tell him, wouldn't you?

I want her to have the contract.

I'm confused.

Everything she said about women having a calling

and the wrongs that we live with.

Girls.

Girls, I am not quite deposed yet.

I hope you will show me the respect of my position

until such a time as i'm escorted from the premises.

Clara, Mrs. Barton is without attendants.

[Edmund] That's only three Saturdays.

And then we can,

it doesn't matter what condition the cottage is in.

So long as we're warm.

Mr. Moray is to conduct interviews for my position.

[Edmund] Well that's grand.

Give the younger girls a chance to stake a claim.

Our Denise'll be keen I expect.

I am not so old.

Not so very old.

[Edmund] You said it yourself, Audrey, at our age.

I was referring to the firecrackers.

There has not been one day

when I have been absent from my work.

Yes there has.

That time you lost your voice.

What I meant was no more than any man.

We are ruled by men.

[Melancholy music]

We are going to live in your brother's cottage,

your decision.

I've waited years to marry you.

Your decision.

Now we are to marry in haste, your decision.

If that is a woman ruled by men,

then I'm a pin cushion.

Those are trifles.

I am talking about fundamentals.

A woman's calling.

They're not trifles to me, Audrey.

I've put my shop up for sale on your say so.

Are you telling me you want to change your mind?

I think mademoiselle clémence does not care for men.

Far from it.

She likes nothing better than to bait us.

What I meant was I think she prefers women.

[Man laughing]

Why didn't you tell me?

What, you think I should've told you

because you were jealous of her?

To put you at your ease?

It is not my place to tell her private business, Denise.

[Bright music]

[Sam] No buyers yet, Mr. Lovett.

I don't even know if i'm still sellin' up, Sam.

Why, what's happened?

Audrey seems to suddenly believe that to marry

would be a betrayal of her sex.

Well, that'll be mademoiselle's doin'.

Heard 'em all talkin' in the inn.

Audrey in the three crowns, no.

Yes.

I don't even go in there.

Oh, it was quite the party.

And here's me without a breath of sleep,

fretting about whether my marriage is on or off.

What I know about women is this.

You promise them undyin' love, marriage, faithfulness.

Nowhere, no wisp.

You don't give a hoot, act a lad about town.

Chase ya around like a prince.

Right.

We're going to the inn tonight, Sam.

Haven't got a penny in my pocket.

I'm buyin'.

Bring that lot in.

We must put the smallest fire crackers in the front,

sell them one at a time so people can afford them.

I must remind you, mademoiselle,

the contract is by no means certain.

But I have every faith in moray.

The two bulls are butting heads.

Why do men suppose that posturing

is what catches a woman's eye?

The loveliest thing about you is

that you have no idea how beautiful you are.

Forgive me, mademoiselle romanis,

but I'm not used to women being quite so forward,

so complimenting.

If you were to ask me to a dinner, I would not refuse.

I am deeply attracted to you.

I could never-

[clémence] I also see the way you look at me.

Is it not true?

You are a very beautiful woman.

When your head lies on your pillow tonight,

I'll be lying awake wishing you were with me.

[Bright music]

Dudley, how long have you worked here?

Moray and I came here as boys

when Mr. Emmerson owned the place.

It was a great deal smaller then.

It is touching to think that two poor boys

have risen to such status.

Fine suits, silk ties.

You must not let such distinction go to your head.

I've always considered myself grateful

for the responsibilities.

Then you will have no more

to do with mademoiselle romanis.

Sir, I assure you-

do not contradict what my eyes have witnessed.

Mr. Weston, sir, what I know of clémence tells me-

did I ask for your intervention, moray?

It seems that with each passing day,

I must continue to convey to you that the world has changed.

The paradise is no longer your domain.

Business here will be conducted at my bidding.

If you wish to retain your position here, Dudley,

you will leave clémence be.

Do you understand?

Yes sir.

Then all is well with the world.

I have done my best to tolerate your husband,

but he has threatened to dismiss Dudley.

I will not allow him to do this.

Why have you called me back here?

Is it to restore the paradise?

Because that is impossible if I must contend

with this kind of vindictive interference.

Why would Tom wish to remove Dudley?

He seems to consider Dudley as some kind of rival.

Ah, mademoiselle romanis.

Is that why you are here?

To goad me?

I came here because I felt I had to.

Katherine-

I do not want your pity.

I will make my own accommodation with my husband.

Tom is not what he appears to be to some people.

He is a fine husband and father.

Military men are some-

I will deal with this.

Well thank you, Katherine.

If I can help...

When will you appoint a new head of ladies wear?

We will conduct interviews.

Denise will make an excellent appointment.

She is clearly the best candidate.

There are other girls we must consider.

Clara has qualities-

why would you hold Denise back?

It makes no sense.

Are you concerned what others will think

if you favour your lover?

Why would it matter to you, to champion Denise?

Perhaps I have come to appreciate the value of justice.

[People chattering]

Mademoiselle clémence.

I must plead with you not to use Mr. Dudley.

You don't understand, Denise.

I have no choice.

I left Paris because there was some difficulty.

I have to make a life here.

I must have the contract.

But whatever the reasons,

must you use such methods?

Yes, I must.

Because I'm a woman.

Would Tom Weston treat me in this way

if I were a man?

Will he offer me the engagement on purely business terms?

He will prevent me from prospering unless I indulge him.

Is it not true?

Then am I not entitled

to use whatever means necessary to gain equality?

Would you not do the same?

No.

Then you will be left behind.

I watched you.

I've have heard moray talk about your many gifts.

When miss Audrey leaves,

will you be given her position?

I don't know.

Do you want it?

Can you do it?

There are other girls who-

I give you the question.

You must answer to yourself, not to me.

If the position is not given to you,

do you care more for the man you love

than you do for your own voice.

Will you be a good girl?

Will you meekly accept?

Or will you speak out?

[Melancholy music]

[Bright music]

[Katherine] Mademoiselle romanis, thank you for coming.

[Clémence] My pleasure.

Please, this way.

[Women laughing]

Oh darling, there you are.

I have invited mademoiselle clémence to stay with us

during her time here.

I can't bear the thought of her in that stuffy hotel

and I know you two wish to talk business.

It would be so much more convivial, don't you think?

I do.

I have told Edmund that I may want to reconsider.

So that's why my uncle's taken down the for sale sign.

Miss Audrey, did you not say

it was the doubt and delay that was making you so unhappy?

Why should a woman be punished for marrying?

That bloody French woman.

Look at what she's doin' to us.

She comes here, all hell is let loose.

And then she'll be gone and leave us with the consequences.

I thought you younger women would see

that she speaks for us all.

Miss Audrey, no one here believes it's right

for a woman to be pressed into leaving,

but to do this to uncle Edmund after you promised him...

I see.

When the old hen's about to leave the perch,

the young hens certainly do start to flutter their feathers.

It is such a pleasant diversion,

having mademoiselle clémence to stay with us.

I can see why men fall for her.

I can see why you might fall for her, my darling.

Did he tell you?

Did moray come to see you?

If you're going to pursue her,

then you'll do it here, out of harm's way.

Not so publicly, not at the paradise.

And please do not let flora see you fawning after her.

Have you ever known me to Fawn after anyone?

No.

When we first met, you were quite the flatter.

Why are you so sensitive about the paradise?

I want us to do nothing to give moray the upper hand.

You can jostle with him by all means, but do not crush him.

I want him to feel safe there.

I never believed that you abandoned him.

Why would you need to destroy him?

If he hadn't broken your heart?

I brought mademoiselle clémence into our home

because I have learned I cannot stop you,

because you cannot stop yourself.

And I have learnt that it will pass.

She will pass.

And when the passion passes

and you are overcome with shame

I will pick you up and comfort you, I will love you

and be a good wife to you.

But I do not love you freely, Tom.

In exchange, you will not ask me again

about what happened between moray and I.

[Door taps]

Edmund!

Edmund, might we speak privately, my dear?

I'm rather wedded to the bar.

You can say whatever you want to say right here.

You seem to have taken my decision rather personally.

What you fail to appreciate is

that my reasoning concerns the injustice

to a woman having to give up a position-

what about what I must give up?

Have I not fought

to keep my little shop alive through the worst of times?

Do you suppose I put up a for sale sign

as easily as tying my shoelace?

It is a wrench to my heart.

But I did it willingly.

Thought you would do the same.

I was wrong.

I see that now.

Let us have ale, landlord.

The night is younger than I am.

[Clémence] Let me show you this.

You see this coin?

Okay, we're gonna put it in this hand.

Can you say abracadabra?

[Flora] Abracadabra.

And now blow.

It's not there!

Where is it, blow now.

Oh, it's not here too.

What did you do with it, flora?

I didn't do anything.

I see it.

[Speaking in French] It was in your hair!

And because I found it in your hair, it's for you.

[Flora] Thank you.

It has been the most delightful dinner,

but I hope you will forgive me.

I have another engagement.

It is rude of me, I know,

but it is the way in France.

We flit about half the night

and I'm the most restless French woman there is.

You are our guest, clémence.

You must come and go as you wish.

Oh you're spoiling me and I do so like being spoiled.

[Speaking in French]

[Tom] Where are you going?

I have arranged a rendezvous.

[Tom] With a man?

I can meet whoever I want to.

[Bright music]

I was never much good at talkin' to girls.

At work, I pass the time with them but romance...

Was always too shy, too awkward.

I chose the most quiet girl in the shop,

made me feel confident.

Don't wanna betray my wife.

You are a beautiful man.

[Frantic music]

Mr. Weston, sir.

I am Jonas, Jonas Franks.

Is mademoiselle romanis here?

Why would she be here at this time of night, sir?

I believe she has a liaison with a man.

Sir, if I may,

I have observed the French lady in her time here,

both with gentlemen and with her own sex.

If you were to ask me where she was tonight,

it would not be with a man.

It cannot be.

You need not accept my consideration, sir.

Might I suggest you consult with Mr. Moray on this matter.

Moray knows.

He has not told me so himself, but I can tell.

May I suggest you ask him.

[Woman gasping]

Mademoiselle clémence, what are you doing here?

That man, Jonas.

I was never so afraid of a touch of a hand.

I thought I do not dare to refuse him.

Where's Mr. Jodilee?

I don't know.

He took Dudley away.

That way he looked at me.

The things he said to me,

it was like he knew me.

Mr. Jonas will know all there is to know about you.

Mademoiselle, you've shown such little regard

for Mr. Jodilee.

Why are you so determined

to make him face his own weaknesses?

Your tale will be the same as the rest of us.

Human.

Weak.

I did love someone once.

I was young, as young as you are now.

I met an older woman

and I knew she was what I had been waiting for.

I let myself love her.

I was helpless.

I felt sure she would leave her husband to be with me.

Slowly I learned she had no such intentions.

She wanted what was considered proper.

She hated herself for loving me.

I would never do that.

I would never punish myself for the way that I love.

She was married to a man like Mr. Dudley.

Good and faithful man.

Family man.

How could she choose him over me?

How could she choose that life

when I offered her such passion?

[Door tapping]

I'm coming, I'm coming.

More people come to this door in the dead of night

than during business hours.

[Peaceful music]

What kind of a woman would torment such a dear soul?

What kind of a fool would refuse an offer of marriage

from the man she loves?

I didn't know you had refused.

I didn't.

And it wasn't an offer.

You asked me.

I did.

Well, I'm asking you now.

And if you say yes, there's to be no untying

or doubting or declining or hesitating.

I will.

Jonas?

There's a carriage waiting to take you home, sir.

You must leave before the staff arrive.

They must not see you like this.

What am I doin' here?

[Jonas] A note was sent to your wife, sir,

to say that you were detained overnight with Mr. Moray,

and there was nothing for her to worry about.

Clémence.

Nothing happened, sir.

There is nothing for you to be troubled by.

The carriage, sir.

Aye.

You must make haste.

Clémence has arranged a demonstration

of her fire crackers on the street.

She has decided to go ahead with, or without us.

It will draw quite a crowd.

They will want to know where they can buy the fireworks.

Well, in the end, this is purely a business matter.

Give her the contract.

Let's be rid of her.

We'll all strive to maintain

the standards you've set us, miss Audrey.

Nonsense, I will be forgotten

before I reach the end of the street.

I have little doubt it will be you.

Mademoiselle clémence is correct in what she says, you know?

[Melancholy music]

[Fireworks sizzling]

Take care.

Don't feel sad, Denise.

We're not vanishing entirely.

I haven't even sold the shop yet.

Hurry, Audrey, you have to take the happiness

when it comes after ya.

Even if it is tasteless and vulgar.

- Walk on! - [Uplifting music]

[People clapping]

Jonas, Dudley told me what you did for him.

You must be careful of Mr. Weston, sir.

I have known men like him.

He would destroy himself in order to destroy his enemies.

Where are you going, Jonas?

South, Mr. Dudley, I seek a warmer climate.

What if we were to ask you to stay?

- [Fireworks sizzling] - [Uplifting music]

Why didn't you tell moray?

I don't know.

You do know, Denise.

Because so many of the things you said are true.

And I want to keep them.

Goodbye.

[Man groaning]

[Bright music]

[Wind whooshing]
