0:22:00 > 0:22:01Is that what you think?
0:22:01 > 0:22:06Maybe he went to Mundy's because he had nowhere else to go.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09He couldn't come home, "Never return to the scene of the crime",
0:22:09 > 0:22:11isn't that what you cons say?

0:27:30 > 0:27:32When I do go out, or anything on my own,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I have to come back to another of your inquisitions
0:27:34 > 0:27:39because I'm so bloody irresistible that even if a girl isn't a raving lesbian when she meets me,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42she will be by the time I've got my hands on her.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45You know why I do it.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Because I'm afraid you no longer love me.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51If you ever did.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54It wasn't just about revenge?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57God, must it always come back to that?!

0:28:08 > 0:28:10You need to find a place of your own.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Sort out who you are, what it is you want.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It's you I want
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Remember when we met? You loved me then!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24I can be that person again, I can!

0:33:20 > 0:33:23Still, safer here than you would be at the front, eh?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Hardly. They say, er,

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Your cell mate, isn't it?

0:33:40 > 0:33:46- You can tell just by looking at him he doesn't belong here. - Meaning I do?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48He didn't say that, Duncan.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52I thought the chap at the end was due for release?
0:33:55 > 0:34:00They're letting him out next week. Going to the army.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Good on him.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06What, so there's no shame in the army making you into a murderer?
0:34:06 > 0:34:09It's all right to have blood on your hands for King and Country?
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- For heaven's sake, Duncan! - You want to talk about shame?
0:34:12 > 0:34:17You wait until you're out of here and you can't walk down the street without people pointing at you,

0:45:35 > 0:45:37So many terrible things going on in Europe.

0:45:53 > 0:45:55Good seeing you again, Kay.

0:46:04 > 0:46:06You always change the subject, don't you?
0:46:06 > 0:46:11It was a misaffection, that's all. What we felt for each other
0:46:11 > 0:46:14wasn't entirely equal.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18That's how I know it's right between us.

0:48:30 > 0:48:33All I'm saying is, give a man a decent job,

0:48:37 > 0:48:42So where are you on pacifism, Pearce?
0:48:42 > 0:48:45Not given it much thought.
0:48:45 > 0:48:48There we are! The less we think about war,
0:48:48 > 0:48:55the less we question it, the more compliant we become. Mr Mundy! Help us out here.
0:48:55 > 0:48:57Enlighten us
0:48:57 > 0:49:02as to why the prison system won't let us read newspapers or listen to the wireless,
0:49:02 > 0:49:05or anything which might actually inform or educate us?
0:49:05 > 0:49:08You know why, lad. Because hearing from the outside
0:49:08 > 0:49:10just stirs you all up.
0:49:10 > 0:49:15In other words, denying us the right to form our own opinions
0:49:15 > 0:49:18makes us easier for you to manage?
0:49:18 > 0:49:22You have a grievance, Mr Fraser, take it up with the governor.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25Or better yet, Mr Churchill.
0:49:27 > 0:49:28All right, son?

0:50:36 > 0:50:38The pretence to be someone you're not every waking second?
0:50:38 > 0:50:42This from the women who used to say living outside the social order was intoxicating.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45After the war, I'm tempted to chuck in the whole game.

0:50:48 > 0:50:50After the war things will be different.
0:50:50 > 0:50:54We will be used to independent women. All the old prejudices will be gone...
0:50:54 > 0:50:57They need us to be independent NOW to drive their damn ambulances,
0:50:57 > 0:50:59work in their factories! Come the peace,
0:50:59 > 0:51:01they'll have us back in aprons, you'll see.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27- You don't mind, do you? - Why should I?
0:51:27 > 0:51:30Say if you do - I'll make up an excuse.

0:52:36 > 0:52:39My neighbour claims they're running wild all over London.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42He says he saw one on a platform at Victoria Station the other day.
0:52:42 > 0:52:44Apparently it was fearfully het up.

0:53:06 > 0:53:11This passion everyone has now to parade around in uniforms even off duty,
0:53:11 > 0:53:14as if war gives them some status they otherwise lack.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17They're just proud to wear them, surely?
0:53:22 > 0:53:25I have a tendency towards cynicism.
0:53:25 > 0:53:27It used to drive Kay mad.
0:53:28 > 0:53:32I should be more generous and well-adjusted, like you.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35Me? Well-adjusted? Hardly.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40You seem to handle the whole grisly L business pretty well.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43I mean, I never really thought about it before I met Kay.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46It just never...
0:53:46 > 0:53:48occurred to me.
0:53:51 > 0:53:54If you ever need company when Kay's off doing her ambulance thing,
0:53:54 > 0:53:55I'm in the book.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02I know how lonely these nights can be.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06I'll remember that.

0:54:14 > 0:54:16it's made a nice change.

0:57:37 > 0:57:40God, you're a pathetic specimen.
0:58:11 > 0:58:13You were dreaming. I could see it in your face.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17Of me, I hope.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24You look just like when I first held you in that dreadful place.
0:58:31 > 0:58:33I have something for you!
0:58:49 > 0:58:52- You spoil me. - You wait till the war is over.
0:58:52 > 0:58:55My life will be dedicated to making you happy.
0:59:02 > 0:59:04The buttons are real bone, see?
0:59:06 > 0:59:09I had your initial put on them...
0:59:10 > 0:59:13Try it on!
0:59:23 > 0:59:25How glamorous you look.
0:59:25 > 0:59:28Like Greta Garbo!

1:00:39 > 1:00:41give the impression you were here for dental work?

1:01:37 > 1:01:40Bloody shyster, trying to spring an extra two quid on me
1:01:40 > 1:01:41at the eleventh hour!
1:01:47 > 1:01:49God, Viv, you're freezing cold!
1:01:49 > 1:01:51Another gauze thing.
1:01:58 > 1:02:00Something's happening, Reggie!
1:02:04 > 1:02:06Oh, Jesus!
1:02:06 > 1:02:08Get a towel!
1:02:08 > 1:02:10It won't stop! I can't stop it!
1:02:10 > 1:02:11He'd said there'd be bleeding.
1:02:11 > 1:02:13Not like this!
1:02:13 > 1:02:15We have to call someone.
1:02:15 > 1:02:16A doctor or...
1:02:16 > 1:02:19No, no. He'll know it's an abortion!
1:02:19 > 1:02:21He'll call the police. We'll end up in the bloody clink!
1:02:21 > 1:02:26Please, Reggie, get help! Before the sirens start. Get help!
1:02:35 > 1:02:39Yeah, eh, ambulance, yes.
1:02:39 > 1:02:43It's, eh, Devon Hotel, Weston Street, room 21.
1:02:43 > 1:02:45For my wife. Yeah, yeah, hurry please!
1:02:54 > 1:02:57AMBULANCE BELL RINGS
1:03:06 > 1:03:08Can you tell us your name, love?
1:03:08 > 1:03:10Pearce. Vivian.
1:03:10 > 1:03:13How long have you been bleeding this way?
1:03:13 > 1:03:15- Where's Reggie? - Is he your husband?
1:03:15 > 1:03:18- No... Yes, my husband yes! - How far along was the baby, Vivian?
1:03:18 > 1:03:23- You must lie still.- Where is he? Why isn't he here? Reggie?
1:03:23 > 1:03:27AMBULANCE BELL RINGS
1:03:32 > 1:03:35At the hospital, if they send for the police,
1:03:35 > 1:03:38don't tell them my real name! Tell them I'm Mrs Harrison.
1:03:38 > 1:03:41- Why would they send for the police? - Getting rid of a baby.
1:03:41 > 1:03:46They'll know it's an abortion.
1:03:46 > 1:03:49The ring. Oh, it's gone!
1:03:49 > 1:03:53We have to find the ring! They'll know I'm not married without it!
1:03:53 > 1:03:54You must stay calm, Vivian!
1:03:54 > 1:03:57AMBULANCE BELL RINGS
1:04:00 > 1:04:01- Vivian?- We're at the hospital. Listen to me!
1:04:01 > 1:04:05I've made a tear in your coat, put your ration book in it.
1:04:05 > 1:04:06They won't find it there.
1:04:06 > 1:04:08You're Mrs Harrison, like you said.
1:04:08 > 1:04:09I have no ring!
1:04:16 > 1:04:19Let me do the talking. Leave it to me, OK?
1:04:22 > 1:04:23What have we got tonight?
1:04:23 > 1:04:25A Mrs Harrison. A miscarriage, with complications.
1:04:25 > 1:04:27She's had a fall, lost a lot of blood.
1:04:51 > 1:04:52Is it Kay?
1:04:53 > 1:04:55I'm taking you at your word...
1:04:55 > 1:04:57if I needed company.
1:04:58 > 1:05:01I prefer to be out in the open when there's a raid.
1:05:01 > 1:05:03I can't breathe in that bloody shelter.
1:05:03 > 1:05:04I'm the same.
1:05:04 > 1:05:06- Which way?- You choose.
1:05:14 > 1:05:15You got a death wish?
1:05:15 > 1:05:17Wear something white! Keep yourself visible!
1:05:17 > 1:05:19Maybe we like being invisible!
1:05:27 > 1:05:29It's like they're putting on a display just for us.
1:05:29 > 1:05:31Bravo!
1:05:31 > 1:05:32Encore!
1:05:35 > 1:05:37After a raid, the first thing everyone asks is,
1:05:37 > 1:05:40"Did St Paul's make it?" Have you noticed?
1:05:40 > 1:05:44Never mind the scores of families bombed to oblivion, so long as
1:05:44 > 1:05:47the symbol of our illustrious past survives.
1:05:47 > 1:05:49It reminds us what we're fighting for, doesn't it?
1:05:49 > 1:05:54We like to think love and altruism define human nature,
1:05:54 > 1:05:58but savagery and hatred are part of it, too.
1:05:58 > 1:06:01In a war, that part of us wins.
1:06:05 > 1:06:09Sometimes it can give you courage you never knew you had.
1:06:13 > 1:06:15Come on!
1:06:15 > 1:06:17I've got something to show you.
1:06:21 > 1:06:25Christopher Wren built this, too, after the Great Fire.
1:06:26 > 1:06:29His daughter Jane helped him design the tower.
1:06:53 > 1:06:55I remember the night Kay met you.
1:06:55 > 1:06:59It's like it's scored into my brain.
1:06:59 > 1:07:01She always wanted a wife.
1:07:01 > 1:07:03Someone she could look after,
1:07:03 > 1:07:05protect.
1:07:05 > 1:07:06Someone innocent.
1:07:08 > 1:07:13When she came home that night, told me how she'd met you,
1:07:13 > 1:07:16I knew she'd found what she was looking for.
1:07:16 > 1:07:18We were over.
1:07:22 > 1:07:24But it was you who left her for someone?
1:07:29 > 1:07:34She said what you had was..."misaffection".
1:07:35 > 1:07:37Is that what she calls it?
1:07:39 > 1:07:42She still wears the snake ring you gave her every day.
1:07:42 > 1:07:45It's just a piece of jewellery to her.
1:07:45 > 1:07:47Of no more significance than I was.
1:07:47 > 1:07:51EXPLOSION
1:07:51 > 1:07:52Are you frightened yet?
1:07:52 > 1:07:53Not of the bombs.
1:07:53 > 1:07:56EXPLOSION
1:07:58 > 1:07:59Now I am!
1:08:09 > 1:08:12Tell me this isn't about punishing Kay for what she did to you?
1:08:12 > 1:08:13It's real?
1:08:18 > 1:08:20Now we're invisible again.
1:08:27 > 1:08:30EXPLOSIONS AND MEN SHOUTING
1:08:30 > 1:08:35- Unlock this bloody door! - In God's name, have pity!
1:08:35 > 1:08:38Me and my pacifism!
1:08:38 > 1:08:41When it comes to it, I'm just a bloody coward,
1:08:41 > 1:08:47like anyone else! Oh, God... Oh, shit!
1:08:50 > 1:08:52Talk to me.
1:08:52 > 1:08:53And keep talking!
1:08:58 > 1:09:00Tell me about the boy,
1:09:00 > 1:09:02about what happened.
1:09:04 > 1:09:06His name was Alec.
1:09:07 > 1:09:09He lived across the road from me.
1:09:11 > 1:09:13They catch you at it, did they?
1:09:13 > 1:09:15The police? Was that it?
1:09:17 > 1:09:20No, that's not how it was.
1:09:21 > 1:09:23EXPLOSION
1:09:31 > 1:09:32What?
1:09:32 > 1:09:36We just got word. Rathbone Place has been hit.
1:09:36 > 1:09:38Section 58 are on their way. They'll keep us posted.
1:09:38 > 1:09:41- Helen will be in the shelter. - She never uses the damn shelter!
1:09:41 > 1:09:43- Give me the keys! - Section 58 will report back.
1:09:43 > 1:09:44I have to go to her!
1:09:45 > 1:09:46Nancy?
1:09:51 > 1:09:53- Give them to me. - There's nothing you can do, Kay!
1:09:55 > 1:09:57Stop, Kay! For God's sake!
1:09:57 > 1:10:01It's Section 58's. They'll deal with it. You know the bloody drill!
1:10:01 > 1:10:02It's not our call!
1:10:02 > 1:10:05You want to be thrown off the service? She worth that much?
1:10:14 > 1:10:21Help us! We need help! Somebody, please! Help us!
1:10:27 > 1:10:30WOMAN SCREAMS
1:11:58 > 1:11:59Kay?
1:12:08 > 1:12:10I thought you were gone.
1:12:13 > 1:12:15I thought I'd lost you!
1:13:00 > 1:13:02You're not rostered for tonight.
1:13:02 > 1:13:05They changed the rota.
1:13:05 > 1:13:08I was born at night, Kay, but not last night.
1:13:08 > 1:13:10You volunteered again, didn't you?
1:13:11 > 1:13:13You just can't keep away from that damn place!
1:13:13 > 1:13:17I don't begrudge you your writing, do I? Why do you this for me?
1:13:18 > 1:13:22- I'm just afraid one night you won't come back.- I always do, don't I?
1:13:23 > 1:13:25I'm indestructible.
1:13:27 > 1:13:29Don't you know that yet?
1:13:34 > 1:13:37Check the black-out before you turn in.
1:13:43 > 1:13:44Can I tempt you, love?
1:13:44 > 1:13:46I'm watching my figure.
1:13:46 > 1:13:48You're not the only one.
1:13:56 > 1:13:58Is the guard about?
1:13:58 > 1:14:00The ticket inspector?
1:14:08 > 1:14:09Tickets, please.
1:14:12 > 1:14:16Miss? Miss, he's coming, the guard! I've lost my ticket, you see.
1:14:16 > 1:14:18Let me in, just till he's gone by.
1:14:18 > 1:14:19I go to the front next week. I've only 24 hours leave.
1:14:19 > 1:14:22I've already lost five of them waiting for the bloody train!
1:14:22 > 1:14:24If he throws me off, I've had it!
1:14:33 > 1:14:34Tickets, please!
1:14:34 > 1:14:36One minute.
1:14:48 > 1:14:50You are heaven sent, you know that?
1:14:50 > 1:14:52Glad I could help.
1:14:52 > 1:14:53Wait.
1:14:53 > 1:14:57One more minute, eh? Make sure the coast is clear?
1:15:01 > 1:15:03Try anything,
1:15:03 > 1:15:05I'll scream blue murder.
1:15:11 > 1:15:12You spending your leave in London?
1:15:12 > 1:15:14My wife just had a baby.
1:15:14 > 1:15:15Boy or girl?
1:15:15 > 1:15:19Girl. We already had a boy.
1:15:19 > 1:15:21You might say we've the set now.
1:15:22 > 1:15:24Does it scare you,
1:15:24 > 1:15:26going to the front next week?
1:15:26 > 1:15:29Maybe if I stop and think about it.
1:15:29 > 1:15:31The home front's no picnic, either.
1:15:31 > 1:15:33Every time I go back, I dread it more.
1:15:33 > 1:15:36It'll end up like always. Minutes after stepping
1:15:36 > 1:15:38through the door, my wife and I will be arguing again.
1:15:46 > 1:15:49Good luck - at the front, I mean.
1:15:51 > 1:15:54The memory of this will keep me going there.
1:15:54 > 1:15:57That once, I got a break.
1:15:57 > 1:15:59I got to spend a few precious minutes with the most
1:15:59 > 1:16:01gorgeous girl who ever drew breath.
1:16:01 > 1:16:03I can die a happy man.
1:16:07 > 1:16:09Maybe one more cigarette?
1:16:23 > 1:16:26SHARP KNOCKING
1:16:27 > 1:16:29Alec, is that you?
1:16:35 > 1:16:39My papers came. This is it Duncan!
1:16:39 > 1:16:43I'm to report to some training place in Salisbury.
1:16:43 > 1:16:44Mine aren't through.
1:16:44 > 1:16:48They'll come soon enough. When I told my father I wasn't going,
1:16:48 > 1:16:51I thought he'd tear my bloody head off!
1:16:51 > 1:16:55I said to him, "They're bloody quick enough to send you to war, they don't
1:16:55 > 1:16:58"tell you about the gas Hitler uses to fry your brains, do they?"
1:16:58 > 1:17:02I wrote the letter, like we planned.
1:17:02 > 1:17:05"To whom it may concern..."
1:17:05 > 1:17:08I was going to put "To Mr Churchill",
1:17:08 > 1:17:11but this way, it's to Hitler and Mussolini, too, see?
1:17:11 > 1:17:15"We, the undersigned, do not undertake this deed lightly.
1:17:15 > 1:17:18"We are two young people who choose to die to save others.
1:17:18 > 1:17:20"We would rather take our own lives
1:17:20 > 1:17:23"than collude in the waste of war." They'll have to take notice
1:17:23 > 1:17:25of a gesture like that, won't they?
1:17:25 > 1:17:27We might even end the war!
1:17:27 > 1:17:28We've not planned how yet.
1:17:28 > 1:17:31What are the options?
1:17:31 > 1:17:34I know, rat poison!
1:17:34 > 1:17:36Shh, shh, shh! Shh.
1:17:36 > 1:17:37There's only bleach.
1:17:37 > 1:17:39The pain would kill us!
1:17:39 > 1:17:43GIGGLES
1:17:49 > 1:17:52Look at this, Duncan!
1:17:54 > 1:17:56This is just the bloody job!
1:18:11 > 1:18:14We'll do it at dawn.
1:18:16 > 1:18:19First bird song we hear, that's the cue, ok?
1:18:19 > 1:18:21I'll go first.
1:18:21 > 1:18:24Directly I've done it, you take the razor, do it, too.
1:18:25 > 1:18:27We must make a good job of it.
1:18:27 > 1:18:32Helping someone top themselves, they'll throw away the key.
1:18:36 > 1:18:38Bugger this waiting lark. Let's get on with it!
1:18:46 > 1:18:49You're the best, you are, Duncan!
1:19:02 > 1:19:05You're up, girls.
1:19:05 > 1:19:08Guest house in Jocelyn Street. Six people trapped inside.
1:19:21 > 1:19:23DOORBELL RINGS
1:19:53 > 1:19:57I didn't do it. I couldn't do it.
1:20:05 > 1:20:08Duncan James Pearce, I am arresting you on suspicion
1:20:08 > 1:20:11of inciting and assisting in the suicide of Alec Jennings.
1:20:14 > 1:20:17- Anything?- No.
1:20:20 > 1:20:23COUGHING
1:20:32 > 1:20:33Help.
1:20:35 > 1:20:36Over here!
1:20:36 > 1:20:37Help!
1:20:43 > 1:20:45We need help lifting her.
1:20:57 > 1:21:01Can you move your legs? Move your toes for me?
1:21:08 > 1:21:10Are you a doctor?
1:21:10 > 1:21:12Just a dab hand at first aid.
1:21:14 > 1:21:17I went out with a doctor once.
1:21:17 > 1:21:20Well, nearly, he was a medical student.
1:21:20 > 1:21:21It didn't work out.
1:21:25 > 1:21:28Why is it we can never love the people we ought?
1:21:32 > 1:21:34Don't worry.
1:21:34 > 1:21:37I won't let anything happen to you. Be brave a bit longer.
1:21:45 > 1:21:49You're the one that's brave, doing this job.
1:21:49 > 1:21:54It's easier being out in thick of it than cowering in some shelter.
1:21:54 > 1:21:57And at night, when there's a raid on,
1:21:57 > 1:21:59when no-one's about and the streets are empty,
1:21:59 > 1:22:01it's like the whole city belongs to you.
1:22:07 > 1:22:08You're protecting it.
1:22:20 > 1:22:21What?
1:22:26 > 1:22:27Over here!
1:22:34 > 1:22:36I'll be where you can see me.
