0:00:02 > 0:00:04- America - a new opportunity.- A whole year's wage just for the passage?

0:00:04 > 0:00:07Sounds like an ideal candidate for a new children's maid.

0:00:07 > 0:00:09I understand Elizabeth is due to leave the hospital soon.

0:00:09 > 0:00:10What? No, you can't!

0:00:10 > 0:00:12I'm going to go to America.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14You have to be brave to be rewarded.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17If Harriet's in America, then that's where I'm going to be.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19And how do you plan to do that? Stow away?

0:00:20 > 0:00:22What a pretty pin.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Love token from the constable, by any chance?

0:00:25 > 0:00:27She could lose her job because of him!

0:00:39 > 0:00:41'It seems that every day when I wake up,

0:00:41 > 0:00:44'I start thinking about the future -

0:00:44 > 0:00:47'my future - and the big wide world.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52'About getting out of here, the adventures I'll have...

0:00:52 > 0:00:54'but then I think about the grown-ups.'

0:00:54 > 0:00:57Feather, when was the last time you cleaned them boots?

0:00:57 > 0:00:59Erm, I can't remember.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Exactly. Get them polished before class.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05I want to see my face in them.

0:01:05 > 0:01:07'Why would anyone want to see that face?

0:01:07 > 0:01:10'I mean, what happened to it?

0:01:10 > 0:01:13'She must have been a girl once.'

0:01:13 > 0:01:14Quick, march!

0:01:14 > 0:01:18Left, left, left, right, left.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Left, left, left, right, left,

0:01:21 > 0:01:23and halt!

0:01:25 > 0:01:28'So when does it happen that nothing's funny any more?'

0:01:28 > 0:01:30For goodness' sake, what do you think you're doing?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Boys, get up!- 'Not even that.'

0:01:32 > 0:01:33Come along!

0:01:33 > 0:01:36Girls, hurry up.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40- 'It seems even the best of us can turn into something horrid.'- Now!

0:01:40 > 0:01:43'Is that what growing up means? Forgetting the fun?

0:01:43 > 0:01:46'And then I think, "When's that going to happen to me?"'

0:02:19 > 0:02:21Oh, come on, they're regrouping!

0:02:21 > 0:02:22- Who are?- The enemy on the ridge.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Oh! Oh, sorry! Sorry.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28I'll tell you now, I'll have no weaklings in my regiment.

0:02:28 > 0:02:29Now, move it!

0:02:33 > 0:02:35- Ugh! - LAUGHTER

0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Have you got it?- Got what?

0:02:37 > 0:02:39The weight, Gideon, the weight!

0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Ow!- Gideon, if this was a battle, you'd be dead or injured by now!

0:02:44 > 0:02:46If this was a battle, he'd be hiding in his tent.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50Yeah, all right, boys. All right. Gideon, let's try again.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Losing the battle, Mr Cranbourne?

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Not to worry, it's the war that counts,

0:02:54 > 0:02:57and I'm delighted to announce that reinforcements are at hand.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Most timely. Be my guest.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01Boys, fall in.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03We can but hope.

0:03:03 > 0:03:08We have a lot of people coming here tomorrow to watch your...display.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11I do not expect them to be disappointed.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14I said, fall in!

0:03:22 > 0:03:24Sheila, we can't part like this.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Oh, why not? Are you planning to visit me?

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Of course, because we're friends.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32I think when I'm matron I won't be entertaining nursery maids.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34Elizabeth, you may be leaving tomorrow,

0:03:34 > 0:03:36but while you're here, you work.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Tomorrow?- Elizabeth!

0:03:43 > 0:03:46We have to do something about her - she'll turn into Macclesfield.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Well, she's heartbroken.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50"Oh, Constable Clarke!"

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Well, he can't exactly saunter in here

0:03:52 > 0:03:53with a bunch of flowers, can he?

0:03:53 > 0:03:56I don't know. We could get him in somehow.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00If something went missing, like, say, Nurse Macclesfield's hat...

0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'd like to know who stole her smile.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07This should help with the roof, at least a little.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09A drop in the ocean, I suppose.

0:04:09 > 0:04:10A drop in the bucket.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13- KNOCK AT DOOR - Come in.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15And a couple of society rags.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17A lot of nonsense, but it's good to know who's who.

0:04:17 > 0:04:21Oh, and who is likely to die and leave us a little something.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Exactly. Oh, there's a couple of old duffers coming tomorrow

0:04:23 > 0:04:26you can use your inestimable charms on.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Oh, I could never compete with you, Colonel.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Teamwork, I believe, Matron.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32- That's the ticket.- Absolutely.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Something new to jolly up the walls?

0:04:34 > 0:04:36Oh, it's just a minor donation -

0:04:36 > 0:04:38a rather drab little thing, actually.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Frankly, I was uncertain where to hang it.

0:04:41 > 0:04:42Well, in pride of place, I would say.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44This is quite a collectable item.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47I would wager amongst the most valuable of all

0:04:47 > 0:04:48our decorative items.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Really? I would never have thought...

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Well, it is signed and dated.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54It'll look perfect in the governor's room.

0:04:54 > 0:04:56Colonel, no, I shall have one of the staff...

0:04:56 > 0:04:59No, no, no, no. I have fought for my country, Matron,

0:04:59 > 0:05:02I can at least hang this minor masterpiece.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06DOOR CLOSES

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Come on! Faster! Move it!

0:05:10 > 0:05:12We've got a lifetime of this to look forward to, getting shouted at.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Yeah, well, when we're not getting shot at.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Speak for yourselves.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19I'll be in America making my fortune.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Gideon, I'll look out for you.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- We all will.- Oh, right, the Army's your family now. Thanks(!)

0:05:24 > 0:05:26What else have we got?

0:05:26 > 0:05:28I think we needed bolts.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Where are the bolts?- Gideon?

0:05:33 > 0:05:35You stupid idiot, you were supposed to bring them!

0:05:35 > 0:05:36He forgot, that's all.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Well, when we're at war and he forgets, I'll have him shot.- Boys!

0:05:40 > 0:05:42We can't fight them if we're fighting us.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44You, what's your name?

0:05:44 > 0:05:45It's Walter, sir.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Sergeant. I'm not a sir, all right?

0:05:48 > 0:05:49You, get the bolts.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Move it!

0:05:51 > 0:05:53THUD

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Sergeant? What do we do now?

0:05:56 > 0:05:59We're going to lunch, and that's what we'll do now.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01Come along, quickly. Wash your hands.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Sergeant?- You see that?

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Shaking like a frightened puppy.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10Bet that's why they sent him home.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23You do realise we're feeding this to people?

0:06:23 > 0:06:24Come on, girls, hurry up.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31It's for Mathias, to meet me tonight.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32We can do better than that.

0:06:32 > 0:06:33It doesn't have to be poetry.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Yes, it does.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36There you are.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39These trays need taking up, and no nibbling.

0:06:39 > 0:06:40- WHISPERING:- Ned!

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Hetty, please, come on.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46Can you take this to Mathias?

0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Yeah, of course. - Tonight. Tell him to hurry.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49It says that in the letter.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Well, tell him anyway.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Hetty, Harriet, the table will not set itself.

0:06:55 > 0:06:56She's getting worse.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58- We need to save her.- Mm-hmm.

0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Now.- What? You mean...?

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Hetty!

0:07:27 > 0:07:30DOOR CLOSES

0:07:35 > 0:07:37We can't just steal a hospital painting.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39We're not stealing it. We're hiding it.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41Hetty...

0:07:41 > 0:07:44They'll think it's stolen, and call the constable,

0:07:44 > 0:07:46and all we have to do is get him and Nurse Winterson together.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48- How?- I don't know. Somehow.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53And where do we hide that?

0:07:53 > 0:07:54I'm sure we'll think of somewhere.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57And how do we get it back here if everyone's looking for it?

0:07:59 > 0:08:02You haven't thought this through, have you, Hetty?

0:08:02 > 0:08:03No.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11White lilies and some roses.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13The chapel must look its best for our visitors.

0:08:13 > 0:08:14Very well, Matron.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17I shall be out this afternoon, so Cranbourne will be in charge

0:08:17 > 0:08:18in case of emergency.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19Lord help us.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53From Harriet.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Good. Now I want you to dismantle it,

0:08:57 > 0:08:59and remember, work as a team.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01You, boy, with me.

0:09:02 > 0:09:05I've seen you. You stood up for your friends.

0:09:05 > 0:09:06That's brave.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09It's good, but you've got to learn to pick your battles.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Don't just square up to the bully.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15They'll come unstuck in their own sweet time - they always do.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18What were they saying about me?

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Well?

0:09:20 > 0:09:23You want to join the army? I'm the senior rank.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25If I ask you a question, you answer it.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29They say you're not a real soldier -

0:09:29 > 0:09:32you just teach because you got frightened and ran home.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34What do you think?

0:09:39 > 0:09:41Shrapnel.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Nearly lost my head.

0:09:43 > 0:09:47They patched me up and sent me back, but I couldn't fight any more.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51The sound of a shot, and I shake like a leaf.

0:09:51 > 0:09:55The colonel brought me back, but I didn't run.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58It's not all drums and pipers, lad.

0:09:58 > 0:10:03If you want to survive out there, you need to keep this down.

0:10:03 > 0:10:04Understood?

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Yes, sir. I mean, Sergeant. Sorry.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09All right. Off you go.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Hey, lad.

0:10:14 > 0:10:15Walter!

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Son!

0:10:28 > 0:10:32We have had a theft - a valuable painting stolen.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33I shall organise a search.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35We don't need a search!

0:10:35 > 0:10:37What would a child do with a painting?

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Sell it at auction? Hang it above their bed?

0:10:40 > 0:10:43What are you doing idling about?

0:10:43 > 0:10:44Sorry, Matron.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Perhaps we could send for the constable?

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Obviously. Do it now.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Yes, Matron.- And I thought you were decorating the chapel?

0:10:51 > 0:10:52Yes, Matron.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58It wasn't easy to find you.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01After your mother died, they wouldn't speak to me.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04They didn't even tell me about you.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05How did she die?

0:11:06 > 0:11:09I'm sorry, in childbirth.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Me?

0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Yes, but it wasn't...- You're not my father. I've never had a father.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15You've got a whole family.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17This is my family. I don't know you.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Sir, why's Constable Clarke here? Has something happened?

0:12:01 > 0:12:05Apparently a painting's been stolen from the governor's office.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08I bet I can solve it before he can.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Ow! Sir, my thumb!

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Go and get it seen to, quickly.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Policing's not all about wrestling ruffians.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26It's about this, too. It's all about the clues, the details...

0:12:26 > 0:12:27Especially with people.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29If you can read the body, you can see the soul.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Really? That is quite an art!

0:12:32 > 0:12:35It's just method, Nurse Macclesfield.

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Twitch of an eye, and the hands -

0:12:38 > 0:12:40the hands give it all away.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43Ah, and who do we have here? Hetty Feather, I believe?

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Why aren't you doing chores?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Well, I just wanted to tell the constable that I heard

0:12:47 > 0:12:50some strange noises coming from the chapel last night.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53I thought perhaps some wild animals or pirates,

0:12:53 > 0:12:55or a band of brigands hanging out?

0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Brigands aren't normally drawn to chapels.- No.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59Not unless they're stealing something.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01I'll take a look.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02Will you be safe?

0:13:02 > 0:13:03I'll call if I need help.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14I've been called in to solve a crime.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16Someone said there were brigands in here.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19I think you'll find the flowers are innocent enough.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22So, I won't keep you from your duties.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I shall not trouble you again,

0:13:27 > 0:13:29and I'm sorry for my foolishness.

0:13:31 > 0:13:34I'd always thought myself adept at reading the ways of people,

0:13:34 > 0:13:36and their hearts.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37I was wrong.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42The fool was me,

0:13:42 > 0:13:44and you were not wrong.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Oi! Where are you going?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Come on, lad, speak to me.

0:14:35 > 0:14:36I know who stole the painting.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43It's not a crime to hold hands.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44I should know.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47But it's enough to lose me my job.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Then I shall look after you.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51- On your pay?- You could work.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Without a reference, disgraced, as you would be?

0:14:54 > 0:14:57We shall both end up in the workhouse.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58You must go.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03But you will see me again, yes?

0:15:10 > 0:15:11I will.

0:15:24 > 0:15:26SHE GASPS

0:15:31 > 0:15:32Till then.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47You've got to talk to him.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49Walter!

0:15:49 > 0:15:51Good work, lad.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53You'll be a credit to your regiment.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Not me. I'll be in America.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59- You've got a patron? - No, but I'll earn the money.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02Then you have a trade, a skill?

0:16:02 > 0:16:04I'll learn something.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07And who's going to pay for your apprenticeship?

0:16:07 > 0:16:09It's the army for you, lad.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Sir, Sergeant...

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Pa.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30KNOCK AT DOOR

0:16:30 > 0:16:31- Matron?- What?

0:16:35 > 0:16:37What is it?

0:16:37 > 0:16:38We have the culprit.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42Your grandfather on your mother's side, he's a brigadier.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44And on yours?

0:16:44 > 0:16:45Nothing to brag about,

0:16:45 > 0:16:49except an honest man who gave his son the best chance he could.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52I was a groom in the stables, and your mother...

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Well, we fell in love.

0:16:55 > 0:16:59When the brigadier found out, he didn't give me a lot of choice.

0:16:59 > 0:17:01So you just left her, to join the army?

0:17:01 > 0:17:03To protect her,

0:17:03 > 0:17:05until I heard that she died,

0:17:05 > 0:17:07and I had nothing left.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10Then I heard about you, and I came looking.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13So, what now? What am I supposed to do?

0:17:16 > 0:17:19You have a father now, and I have a son.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22I lost you once. I don't want to lose you again.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Where is it?

0:17:26 > 0:17:28- I beg your pardon? - You know what I'm talking about.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- The painting.- You're under arrest, sir. Turn around.

0:17:31 > 0:17:32What for?

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Your footprints and your dirty, greasy fingers

0:17:35 > 0:17:37were all over the room.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Matron, I consider myself a reasonably good judge of character.

0:17:40 > 0:17:43If I need your judgment, Mr Cranbourne, I shall ask for it.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45Come.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Come along, boys. In we go.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52- HE SIGHS - Just what I thought.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55Never trust a coward.

0:17:58 > 0:17:59Walter.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Sheila, you would have done the same. They're good people.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14It's still service,

0:18:14 > 0:18:18and in a few years, when you're curtsying to your good people,

0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'll be a nurse, or even a matron.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Really? Is that what you think?

0:18:23 > 0:18:25They don't pick foundlings for nurses, never mind matron.

0:18:30 > 0:18:35Matron, I was wondering how I could go about training to be a nurse,

0:18:35 > 0:18:38- or perhaps even...- You, a nurse?

0:18:38 > 0:18:40That's ridiculous.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Unless you want a lifetime of disappointment,

0:18:43 > 0:18:46I suggest you keep your ambitions realistic.

0:18:46 > 0:18:47But what if I helped with something?

0:18:47 > 0:18:50- MATRON SIGHS - Like the stolen painting.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Well, that's done with. What do you know about it?

0:18:52 > 0:18:54It's just...

0:18:58 > 0:19:00It doesn't matter.

0:19:00 > 0:19:01Sorry.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14We can't just let an innocent man go to jail.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18If we tell Matron, she'll have us in detention for the rest of our lives.

0:19:18 > 0:19:22You go and see Mathias - I'll put the painting back.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23Good luck.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34I'll cover for you.

0:19:34 > 0:19:36Harriet?

0:19:36 > 0:19:37The tower?

0:19:39 > 0:19:40I'm not going.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47At least you've got a father, and you know who he is.

0:19:47 > 0:19:48A thief.

0:19:48 > 0:19:49Do you believe that?

0:19:50 > 0:19:52I don't know.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56What have I got? I'm...nobody.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Just there to take the first line of fire.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59I'll fall in the mud,

0:19:59 > 0:20:02and then there'll be no-one who'll give me another thought.

0:20:06 > 0:20:07Mathias?

0:20:34 > 0:20:37I never want to speak to him again.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40There must be a reason.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42What does it matter anyway?

0:20:42 > 0:20:44Matron will have us in jail.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46Or hanged as thieves.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Are you talking about the painting?

0:20:48 > 0:20:51Don't worry, it's been sorted.

0:20:51 > 0:20:53Sorted? What do you mean?

0:20:53 > 0:20:55I mean sorted.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01Dragged off like a common thief!

0:21:01 > 0:21:03The Sergeant is among the most decent and upright men

0:21:03 > 0:21:05- I've ever met!- A thief nonetheless.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08You got the measure of him. Well, a thief, would you say?

0:21:08 > 0:21:10He has the bearing of an honourable man.

0:21:10 > 0:21:11However, the evidence...

0:21:11 > 0:21:13His footprints all over this room,

0:21:13 > 0:21:15his handprints on the door, the painting gone...

0:21:15 > 0:21:16What painting, exactly?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Well, that drab little thing, Colonel. The one on the...

0:21:22 > 0:21:23..mantelpiece.

0:21:25 > 0:21:26Quick, march. Left!

0:21:34 > 0:21:38I must confess, Sergeant, I doubted you, but only for a moment.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41A moment, sir, is all it takes to hang a man, Mr Cranbourne.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44I suppose you've learned that what's obvious isn't always true.

0:21:44 > 0:21:48See? You must listen and learn, Mr Cranbourne.

0:21:48 > 0:21:49- Charlie?- Thank you.

0:21:56 > 0:22:00I've heard that in America, all folk are equal.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03How do they manage without lords and leaders to grovel over?

0:22:03 > 0:22:05But it's so far away.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08Being far away from here is its principal virtue.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12Matron, I have studied my wealth, little as it is,

0:22:12 > 0:22:15but there are a few things inherited -

0:22:15 > 0:22:17ornaments I could sell.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19If your plans for leaving were to advance,

0:22:19 > 0:22:21and there was space for one more...

0:22:21 > 0:22:25Its other virtue, Mabel, is, I believe, space.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35- I must thank you.- For what?

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Saving me from Matron.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39I didn't do it for you.

0:22:39 > 0:22:40I did it to her.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47I'm not surprised she hasn't got any friends left.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Well, she's only got herself to blame.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Have you seen Mathias?

0:22:56 > 0:22:59I think he's getting something from the yard.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07Where were you last night?

0:23:07 > 0:23:08Mathias?

0:23:10 > 0:23:12What's the point?

0:23:12 > 0:23:14You're going away, aren't you?

0:23:14 > 0:23:16And then what, you'll wait for me?

0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Forever.- Yeah, it will be.

0:23:21 > 0:23:22I'm an army boy now.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27So, you live your life, meet someone,

0:23:27 > 0:23:29and raise a family.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Don't give up on me, Mathias Grigg.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34We'll find a way, somehow,

0:23:34 > 0:23:37but we have to believe it.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48Until then.

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Elizabeth!

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Now I have no-one.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19Silly, you've always got me.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21You'll forget about me.

0:24:21 > 0:24:22How could I?

0:24:23 > 0:24:27Sheila, you find a way out, and then find me.

0:24:27 > 0:24:28Promise?

0:25:07 > 0:25:08Don't worry, lad.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12You were wrong, but that doesn't mean to say you weren't smart.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14The army needs the likes of you.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15I can't even lift a wheel.

0:25:15 > 0:25:19But you can use your head, and that's what a commander needs.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21I reckon I'll be saluting you one day.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30I was brave.

0:25:30 > 0:25:31Always first over the hill,

0:25:31 > 0:25:34because I didn't think I had anything to live for.

0:25:34 > 0:25:37I have now - a family, if you'll count me as such.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Proudly.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41I'll be brave, but I'll be back,

0:25:41 > 0:25:44because now I'm not just a nobody any more.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52Boys, Sergeant Palmer has taught you well.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54Let's do him proud.

0:25:54 > 0:25:55To your posts.

0:26:17 > 0:26:21Still, the look on Matron's face...

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Come on, boys! Up and over!

0:26:41 > 0:26:45Come on, come on! Up and over now! Up and over!

0:26:45 > 0:26:48- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Oh, well done!

0:26:48 > 0:26:51'It seems we can get cranky even before we grow up,

0:26:51 > 0:26:55'so how do we remember the fun?

0:26:55 > 0:27:00'I don't know, but if I ever turn into Matron, or Macclesfield,

0:27:00 > 0:27:04'or any of those old grumps, tickle me.

0:27:04 > 0:27:06'Play a prank on me, anything,

0:27:06 > 0:27:08'and keep doing it till I laugh again.'

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Mr Cranbourne is suggesting we take one of you on as a servant.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Hetty Feather, sir. A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21- I love you.- Oh.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24I will give you this book, but on one condition -

0:27:24 > 0:27:26you will get me on the next available ship to New York.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29YELLING AND GROANING

0:27:29 > 0:27:31Do you think Gideon's in trouble?

0:27:31 > 0:27:34- He'll be all right. I think he's quite handsome.- Sheila!

0:27:34 > 0:27:36I'm not sure that any of you belong in the Queen's own artillery!

0:27:36 > 0:27:39You do know it's not just Mathias I'm going to miss.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41I don't even want to think about it.
