0:01:31 > 0:01:32Welcome. Welcome.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Now, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say how good it is to see
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Mrs Fisher back with us once again.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Fully recovered, I hope, after the terrible events of last Sunday.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Now, there are two things this morning.
0:01:44 > 0:01:49First, it's the church roof fund, yes, which currently stands at,
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Mr Prescott?
0:01:50 > 0:01:51Thank you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Three pounds, eleven shillings and sixpence. Well, it's a start.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Next, I'm sure nobody needs reminding that Helmstead
0:02:02 > 0:02:05will welcome a party of young evacuees later on this afternoon.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07I had hoped we wouldn't see this day again,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11but I'm sure you'll open your hearts and homes to these poor mites,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14torn by the misfortune of war from the bosom of their families.
0:02:14 > 0:02:19Once again, Mrs Gulliver will be assuming the role of Billeting Officer
0:02:19 > 0:02:22and a special vote of thanks to The Ganderton Sisters,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24for heading up the Evacuee Committee. Sterling work.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27There's a complimentary bottle of lice treatment.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29One with every child.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Good day to you, Esther.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Magnificent.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I was just admiring your mother's brooch.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47How are you, young man?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Eyes any better?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Shame.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53Come on, love.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Anything I can do, Esther, you know where I am.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02I hope you'll be a regular Mr Gillespie. We're short of tenors.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Afraid not. Business takes me home.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Then Chicago's gain is our loss.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11You're leaving?
0:03:11 > 0:03:16The company doesn't run itself. And there's nothing for me in Helmstead.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22I take you've made no progress? I did warn you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23I've got one week left.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26A deal isn't over until all the cards are played.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- Couldn't tempt you in?- It's too late to turn me into an honest woman.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Shame, you missed some fine singing. - No, I heard it from out 'ere.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39They were flat.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44And whoever was responsible for them harmonies should have been strangled at birth.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Talking of harmonies... Condover booking.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I put a few new numbers in. Stop the repertoire going stale.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Vera Lynn, Andrews Sisters, all the modern stuff.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Note perfect by Saturday, mind, else the refunds come out your cut.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02Make that Friday. I'm off to London, Saturday night.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06All above board, 24-hour pass from Lady La-dee-dah and everything.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Friday, we'll need more rehearsals, then.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Speak for yourself. See you around, Vic.
0:04:11 > 0:04:1424-hour pass?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16You've only been here five minutes.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- Compassionate leave - me mother's sick.- I thought you were an orphan.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Then she's sicker than I thought. - Hey, passionate leave, more like.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26With a certain married gentleman.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35FOOTSTEPS ON GRAVEL AND CHATTER
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Good afternoon.- Fine day.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24DISHES BANG DOWN
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- Something wrong? - Darn right... You're smiling.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35The British and the Americans are allies.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39I feel I've been neglecting the hospitality befitting that relationship.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44In that case, we never did take that walk.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Chicago sleeps on a Sunday. I have all day.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Which is something I don't.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54Always duty before pleasure with sis. What is it today?
0:05:54 > 0:05:59Spitfire fund? Jam judging? Laying hands on the sick?
0:05:59 > 0:06:04Evacuee billeting. We could always use an extra pair of hands.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Well, I would...
0:06:06 > 0:06:09But if you're unable to entertain our guest,
0:06:09 > 0:06:11then one of us has to fly the flag.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Gloriously free, all day.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Right, then...
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Her Ladyship has promised The Ganderton Sisters
0:06:28 > 0:06:30a volunteer to help with the billeting, so...
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Don't look at me. - Connie it is, then.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Why not Saint Joyce? Right up her street.- The enquiry is today.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42What's to enquire? It's a dead Jerry.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- I thought the whole point of this war was to kill as many of 'em as possible.- Connie!
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- You ain't worried? - Erm, it's just a formality.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Just tell them what happened. - She can't remember. Shell shock.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- It was self defence. That's all they need to know.- Exactly.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Chin up, champ. I'm sure they're all nice people.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10How many can I put you down for, Tulley?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13One. Big enough to do digging. If I must.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Now, now, Tulley.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- We all have to do our bit.- Quite.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22I don't want any bedwetters this time - or Roman Catholics.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Oi, they're Cockneys, not animals.- Of course not.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28They're just like real children.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37This enquiry is to establish the facts
0:07:37 > 0:07:42leading to the shooting of Oberleutnant Ulrich Keitmeiler eight days ago.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44It must have been very upsetting.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I don't remember much after the crash.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Don't worry. If it doesn't come back to you, I'm sure we can...fill in the gaps.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58That's it, dears, keep moving.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Round and round, children.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04No! Wait!
0:08:04 > 0:08:09Please, mister! No, I promised me mum. Please, please, mister!
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I've had enough of this.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Disgrace!
0:08:16 > 0:08:18The cart crashed.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Then what happened?
0:08:23 > 0:08:24The gun was on the ground.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31'We both went for it, but I got to it first.'
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Then?- I pointed it at him. - You were afraid?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- I was angry. - In fear of your life.- I hated him.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- He was the enemy. - He came towards me.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47GUN COCKS
0:08:47 > 0:08:49He "lunged" towards you.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- No, not exactly...- And then you fired the gun in self defence.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- I don't remember. - I think we've heard all we need.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00He wasn't armed.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- I beg your pardon? - I had a gun and he didn't.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10- So how could it have been self defence?- He was a Kampfflieger -
0:09:10 > 0:09:13a trained, killing machine - against a slip of a girl?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15His physical presence was weapon enough.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- What's going to happen to me? - If it were up to me...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23..I'd give you a medal.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26You're a very brave young woman, a credit to your country.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- But he...- Goodbye, Mrs Fisher.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32And thank you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58- Don't even think about it. - I wasn't stealing, Miss.- Miss?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Aren't you brung up polite? Where you from?- Bow.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03My mum told me to say please and thank you.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- And that "Sir and Miss are never amiss".- Sounds a sensible lady. What else she tell you?
0:10:07 > 0:10:13- Be a big boy... Don't cry. - Yeah, well, big boys don't cry.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16"Miss" Connie Carter, of Stepney. That makes us neighbours.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Wish you was there right now?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Mm. Still, adventure, ain't it?
0:10:21 > 0:10:24- What you been up to? - Digging, mainly.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Go on, then. Have it.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Ain't they feeding you? Treating you all right?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43He's in the yard.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44I was looking for you.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51War souvenir. Thought you might be able to use it.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- What for? - Target practice, before you go.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56I'm a good shot.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01You're not aiming at rabbits. And he won't be running away.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03He'll be coming right at you.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17She needs to know.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- You going to sneak off without telling her?- No.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24You've got a week left.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27And I don't want to ruin it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Then make most of the time you've got left.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41That's it. Feels heavier, doesn't it?
0:11:41 > 0:11:42GUNSHOT
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Right, cock it back.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49GUN COCKS
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Now it's got the hair trigger now.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59Hey! All tickety boo?
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Yeah, yeah, me and the specialist, we got it all sorted, didn't we?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- I'm having an operation. - Hey, smashing.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Eh, stick those in the loft for us, will you?
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- And when you've finished that, there's some toffee carrots in the larder.- Thanks.
0:12:21 > 0:12:2440 guineas... Soon.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Or he'll go...
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It'll be too late.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Or rather, it won't be, because I will find the money.
0:12:35 > 0:12:41- I'm sorry, eh, Billy lost the fight. - I know, I know.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44But I'll find a way.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46There's always a way.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- Are you following me?- Can we talk?
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- You heard what my husband said? - He's all I have left.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Can you blame me for trying?
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- I've nothing else to say to you, Mr Gillespie.- I do. A minute. Please.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15One minute.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18He's my heir. My flesh and blood.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22He's my flesh and blood. Did you ever think I'd let him go?
0:13:22 > 0:13:23I know that now.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28A fool to think otherwise... Come with him.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- To Chicago?- For all his faults, Cal had great taste in women.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- The kid needs his mother. You'd be an asset.- "An asset"?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41You wouldn't be Mrs Finch any more. You'd be the mother of William Gillespie.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- And where I come from, that makes you a someone. - I am a "someone" - here.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- You've got nerve. - Offering him a better life?
0:13:49 > 0:13:53In time, everything I own, which is more than you can imagine.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56It's his birthright and you want to deny him that?
0:13:56 > 0:13:59I have a husband and William has a father.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Think about it, that's all I ask.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Come with me, I'll lay the world at your feet.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41There's always a way.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Should have time for one more rehearsal before Friday.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Poor little beggars. Caught that one after me grub earlier.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Ten bob to a whistle, he ain't being fed properly.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04They're safe and happy. It's a shame more families aren't prepared to make the sacrifice.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Maybe they'd rather face blinking bombs than live in the country.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Well, this is me. You should venture in some time - finest medieval church in the county.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I've heard rumours about the size of your organ.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Yeah, it's a Nicholson & Co, Malvern, Worcester. Manual double, 16-inch pipes.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- You don't say(!)- You should hear it when I pull all the stops out.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Literally and metaphorically.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Maybe you could stop by Sunday? My sermons bring the house down, even if I do say so myself.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Don't you get it? He doesn't want the likes of me.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I think "He"
0:15:43 > 0:15:45has room in his heart for everyone.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Wait! Leave me alone.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Oi! Leave him alone.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55What you think you're playing at, you great lump!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02LOUD KNOCKING
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Evacuee committee? Good.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Cos that kid billeted with what's-his-name, that Tulley,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- it's not on.- Cheek!
0:16:16 > 0:16:20These children are lucky the likes of us are willing to take them in.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24His mum sends him to safety, he ends up with the la-la. It ain't right.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Who is this person?- La-la?
0:16:27 > 0:16:32- I regret to say she's one of my land girls.- Miss Connie Carter.- "Miss"?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Nothing better than the town tramp!
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Hanging around in pubs, flashing her wares.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Dropping her drawers for a stick of GI gum.- Jealous?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44I can't imagine last time you lot dropped your drawers for anyone!
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Oh! Ooh!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Maisie, Maisie. Smelling salts!
0:16:52 > 0:16:57Well, you can't see what's happening right under them fat noses. No good'll come of it!
0:16:58 > 0:17:02No good'll come of you, loathsome Jezebel.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04You're a bad lot, Connie Carter.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Now, take yourself off, before I call the police!
0:17:13 > 0:17:19- Their intentions are good.- You heard her. Don't you know when to steer clear?- You're not a bad person.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23I think you see the worst in others, because you can't see the good in yourself.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26And you can stay away from our vicar, as well!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Does he know you're sloping off to London for a weekend
0:17:29 > 0:17:34of adulterous fornication? You're a disgrace!
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Yeah, right, Joan of flamin' Arc, that's me.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41And what you gawping at?
0:17:55 > 0:17:57We'd better get back.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59They'll be wondering where we've got to.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Let 'em wonder. Five more minutes.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Ah...
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I want to stay here for ever.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Pasture Farm? You've changed your tune.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17Yeah, well, I've realised I don't care where I am, as long as I'm with you.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22TOGETHER: There's something I have to...
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Ladies first.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- I saw Jack Gillespie today. - What did he want?
0:18:30 > 0:18:32He asked me to go to Chicago with William.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38He said I'd be a grand lady, with the entire world at my feet.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- What did you say? - What do you think I said?
0:18:45 > 0:18:49You want to see the world. If you went with Gillespie, you could.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I don't want to see the world without you.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Anyway, what did you want to tell me?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01HE WHISPERS SOMETHING
0:19:01 > 0:19:05SHE LAUGHS
0:19:06 > 0:19:08You count them out, you count them back.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I'm holding you personally responsible for every darn one.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Yes, sir.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Good morning.- Morning.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Beautiful. Albeit kinda prickly.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- Every darn one, fella! You want a job doing... Excuse me.- Sorry, sir.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Mr Gillespie.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- I wonder if you'd like to join me for dinner tonight? - You wonder right.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Shall we say 7:30 sharp? - One proviso.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Can we drop the "Mr"?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45If we're going to be dinner companions, surely by now, you can call me Jack.
0:19:46 > 0:19:487:30...Jack.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52I look forward to it...Ellen.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Goody, can we dress for dinner? I do love dressing up.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- And we never get the chance these days.- You won't be there.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04One of us has to show our face at the Parish Council meeting to discuss the fete.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07And why can't you?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Because I already do everything else.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14And because, since you seem bent on staying, it's time you earned your keep.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Hold up mate. What's the hurry? Look, what's going on?
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Right, that's it!
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Now, there we are, sir.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Now, sir. What can I do you for... Ooh.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Watcha think you're playing at?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55You think nobody'd notice that kid you've got is covered in bruises?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57And what you feeding him on? Fresh air?
0:20:57 > 0:21:01He's half starved - and double rations for you, I bet?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Fat - four ounces, sugar - 12 ounces, meat - six ounces,
0:21:07 > 0:21:12tea - two ounces, bacon - three and a half ounces, eggs - two.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14What?
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Come here.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Stop it, right now, mister! - Sugar - 12 ounces...
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Lay one finger on me,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23my fella will have you carved up like a side of beef.
0:21:23 > 0:21:31- Eggs...- What you flamin' on about? - There, you see. His fair share, my fair share.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Fat - four ounces, sugar - 12 ounces. - All right, I get it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38So how come he looks like he hasn't had a decent meal in days, then?
0:21:38 > 0:21:43Well, he don't eat it. He hides it away when he thinks I'm not looking.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- I saw you! I see you. - How do you explain these, then?
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Nowt to do with me.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Well?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Wriggle your way out of this.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And to think I believed in all your lies and subterfuge?
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Mrs Gulliver, listen... - Oh, don't bother.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Once that inventory is returned to the relevant authorities,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- you're finished, Frederick Finch. - No, wait, wait, I can explain. - Oh, this should be good(!)
0:22:16 > 0:22:21See the thing is about carrot whiskey...and I...
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- It's like this, see...- Church roof.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28- Church roof?- Church roof? - Church roof. Finch was struck by the vicar's plight
0:22:28 > 0:22:31and that whisky was burning a hole in his conscience.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- Mmm.- Well, we don't often see eye-to-eye, but in this case...
0:22:36 > 0:22:40Well, it's not black marketeering. More like, fundraising.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Yes... God's fundraising.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47What makes you think I should believe you, of all people?
0:22:47 > 0:22:52Think of me what you will. But Dennis Tucker is no liar.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54And no friend of Frederick Finch.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Look I'm, er...
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- ..I'm only a few shillings short of what, ten...- 20.
0:23:02 > 0:23:08- 20 guineas. - And the lead is so expensive.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Well, I can't say I approve of the means, but the motive's sound.
0:23:13 > 0:23:18Make sure you bring me the full proceeds tomorrow, in church.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- And, in return, my inventory? - See you tomorrow.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Your sister?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Mum made me swear on my life I'd not get separated from her.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32I couldn't stop 'em.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36She's only four, miss. She's hungry.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- What about them bruises? - They caught me taking her an egg.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44They said I'd nicked it from them and I was a bad boy and needed to be punished.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Who are these people?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Needs a little more ochre, dear? Hmm?- I think it does.
0:24:00 > 0:24:06- Oh, oh, dear, erm...- Are you here to complain about your evacuee again?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10No. I'm here to complain about another one - Pam Price.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15- Does that ring any bells, dear? - Not a one, dear.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- Do you know where she's billeted? - Here, you daft bats! You've got her!
0:24:20 > 0:24:26- Oh!- She means...- Sarah. - Her name's Pam!- Such a sweet thing.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31- We thought Sarah suited her better. - A much prettier name.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Our mama was called Sarah. - I want to see my sister.
0:24:33 > 0:24:39- Well, that's not possible at the moment.- She's being disciplined.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44- Another 26 minutes to go. - 28, by me.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Where is she?
0:24:58 > 0:25:04Erm, it's about Martin, my son.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09He had an accident and he could go blind. He has to have an operation.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11LAUGHTER AND FOOTSTEPS
0:25:11 > 0:25:16- Sorry... More occupied than France. - Excuse us.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Cocktails on the terrace.
0:25:25 > 0:25:32- I'm... I'm sorry to hear that. - I need to borrow 40 guineas.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Can't your family help?
0:25:37 > 0:25:38It would be a loan.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- I would pay it back with interest. - That isn't possible.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46If I make an exception for one, I'd have to make an exception for all.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Hoxley is an agricultural estate, not a bank.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I understand.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I'm sure you'll think of something.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05I will... Thank you.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12CREAKING
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Come on, sweetheart.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22You're stark raving mad, both of you!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24What a palaver about nothing.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29The child is wilful and naughty and needs disciplining. That's all.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- And she cries rather a lot. - We had no idea she'd be so noisy.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37You can't just go starving and beating and locking up kids.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- It ain't right.- Never did us any harm.- Absolutely not.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Yeah, well, it did me!
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Oh, there's no need to get emotional.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- About an evacuee?- I ain't letting you get away with this.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56One...two...pull!
0:26:56 > 0:26:57GUNSHOT
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Six inches out. You winged him.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10In the wrong arm!
0:27:11 > 0:27:12I'm a dead man.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16You jerked at the trigger, pulled the sight off target.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Again!
0:27:25 > 0:27:30How will she cope? I've nothing to leave, except half a share of debt.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32She'll manage, if it happens.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Right. Tighten the wrist. Solid grip.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43Stuck here. A widow with a baby. Her life over before it's even started.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Men fight, women wait. Neither has a choice.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Right, focus... On the front sight!
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Bea has a choice.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Gillespie wants her to go to Chicago, with William.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05GUN COCKS
0:28:06 > 0:28:08She'd see the world.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Everything she ever dreamed.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Or she can stay here, end up like Joyce.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Irrelevance. That girl will never leave.
0:28:20 > 0:28:26I've seen the way she looks at you. What you going to do? Drive her away?
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Focus.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32The bullet...will lie behind it.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39One...two...fire!
0:28:39 > 0:28:41GUNSHOT
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- We never have, in all our lives. - Never been so insulted.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- Oh, put a sock in it.- She burst into our house and snatched our evacuee.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55Yeah. Out of the coal hole. and he's no better off, with the local crazy!
0:28:55 > 0:29:00How dare you march in here accusing upstanding members of the community!
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- We bought her a new frock.- And we're knitting her a tippet, for winter.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- Oh, well that's all right then(!) - Please, please.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10If we all speak one at a time, I'm sure we can get this sorted out in a tick.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Now, Mrs Gulliver, perhaps you'd like to go first.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Bit of discipline never did anyone any harm.- You reckon?
0:29:16 > 0:29:18Well, aren't you going to do something?
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Well?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25I don't think anyone believes the ladies
0:29:25 > 0:29:30- had anything other than the child's best interests at heart.- Hear, hear. - However, given their age
0:29:30 > 0:29:33and...Miss Gwen's lumbago,
0:29:33 > 0:29:37I do worry a child this small might be a little too...bouncy?
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- She is rather noisy. - Exactly. Mrs Gulliver?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47I'll see if Vera Clam can squeeze another one in.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49She won't be happy about it, mind.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Although an extra 15 shillings will be very welcome in that household.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57- I think that would be for the best. - Call yourself a man of God? Is that the best you can do?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYS
0:30:10 > 0:30:15Soap's rationed in Blighty. Doesn't do to leave it lying around.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- Need a hand?- Darn thing. I never could get the hang of this.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29How have you managed to survive this long without being able to tie your own tie?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32I usually find someone to do it for me.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- My sister wouldn't...- "Wouldn't"?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Tie it for you.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44She wouldn't give the time of day to a man
0:30:44 > 0:30:48that doesn't know how to dress himself like a gentleman.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51But she is Lady Ellen Hoxley,
0:30:51 > 0:30:55whereas you are no more than a "crude opportunist".
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Her words, not mine.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Why waste all that energy,
0:31:03 > 0:31:09which could be better channelled...elsewhere?
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Cheer up. You'd think someone had died.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30What do you want?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Found it in Fletcher's Hollow. It was that Jerry's.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41You should hand it in. It's nothing much, just some photos.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Is that him?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- That poor woman.- She's German. - No different to me.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Just waiting, praying...
0:32:09 > 0:32:11hope dying.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31He had his hands up, didn't he?
0:32:32 > 0:32:37- He was there, weren't you?- Don't be daft.- Yes.- Tell me what happened?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- It was self defence. - No, he was surrendering.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42He was on his feet. He could have disarmed you.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49GUNSHOT
0:33:01 > 0:33:03GUNSHOT
0:33:05 > 0:33:06I murdered him.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Don't be a fool, woman.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12You're a heroine and a patriot and thanks to you,
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- we've got one less murdering Luftwaffe to worry about.- Seconded.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21Then I hope John hasn't met a German woman as brave as me.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Joseph!- Don't let them take her. I promised me mum.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37What d'you call this? Out of the frying pan, into the fire?
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- Mrs Clam's a good woman.- She looks like Lizzie Borden's grandma.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- You said you'd help. Please, miss, please!- Sorry kid.- You promised.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48I did me best, champ. Got a train to catch.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Maybe you should be getting ho-...back.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55I'll drop by next week! See you're OK?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59- So you're going to London?- Yeah.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Something to say about it?
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Have a nice time.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17Have you seen Connie?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Here... She's gone AWOL.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22On her high horse about some evacuee billeted with Tulley.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Tulley? Poor kid.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31We'd never let William go... even if it were raining bombs.
0:34:33 > 0:34:39- Never?- Never. - If it was for his own good?- Meaning?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Maybe he would be better off in Chicago.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46I told you, it's out of the question.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50He'd be away from all this. A life most kids dream about.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53What are you saying?
0:34:56 > 0:34:57I'm saying...
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- ..maybe he'd be better off with his own family. - They aren't his family.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11They are, Bea. He's a Gillespie.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15Sometimes, when I look at him...
0:35:18 > 0:35:19I see Cal's face.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24But all this time, you said he was like your own.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26No, I thought it would go away,
0:35:27 > 0:35:32then he turned up and it's never going to go away.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33He's leaving...
0:35:33 > 0:35:38Do you think a man like that will give up?
0:35:39 > 0:35:45He'll be back, he'll never give up. And we can never move on.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05- No.- No?
0:41:05 > 0:41:09That money's for Esther, for Martin's operation.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Are you sure about that?
0:41:14 > 0:41:18You do your worst. But I'll tell you this.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20If God would rather put lead on his church roof

0:41:24 > 0:41:27and your do-gooding and your so-called Christian charity.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31I'll have nothing to do with it. Good day to you, Mrs Gulliver.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Wait, Frederick...
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- Take it.- Why?
0:41:41 > 0:41:46I think God understands that we sometimes do the wrong things for the right reasons.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- Have you got enough?- Not quite.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57But I'll get the rest.

0:42:28 > 0:42:33- Spent the entire time looking for her.- The entire time. Really?
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Really. Good thing I was staying with me cousin Nellie.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- She's the nosiest parker in Whitechapel.- Cousin Nellie? - I said, didn't I?
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Lucky, as it happens, turns out Rita's house got bombed
0:42:42 > 0:42:45so it was only down to Nellie's noseying I found her.
0:42:45 > 0:42:46Cousin Nellie.
