I didn't know you owned a cottage.

0:00:040:00:06

Why did you two never live there?

0:00:090:00:11

I visited once, but I never cared for it.

0:00:130:00:16

Anyway, it was your grandfather's.

0:00:170:00:19

It was really all very basic.

0:00:220:00:25

Goodnight.

0:00:320:00:35

Goodnight, dear.

0:00:350:00:36

My dear Flora, your photograph is getting pretty battered

0:01:010:01:05

with all the travelling around in my breast pocket.

0:01:050:01:08

I can't tell you where we are or much of what we're doing, of course.

0:01:090:01:14

Much of the countryside is so beautiful that

0:01:140:01:16

I have to remind the men that we're not here on holiday,

0:01:160:01:20

but then merry hell breaks out again.

0:01:200:01:21

I'll spare you the details...

0:01:230:01:25

GUNFIRE AND EXPLOSIONS

0:01:290:01:32

Aim at the olive groves, until the others get through to relieve us.

0:01:320:01:35

Yes, sir!

0:01:350:01:36

GUNFIRE

0:01:360:01:38

Bastards got the supply lorry before it could get through the gates, sir!

0:01:380:01:41

It's the driver, sir. Another dead with him.

0:01:410:01:43

They shot out the tyres,

0:01:430:01:44

-and it's tipped over in the ditch.

-Put him with the others, quickly!

0:01:440:01:46

GUNFIRE

0:01:460:01:49

EXPLOSION

0:01:510:01:53

We need the MO! I think this one's still with us, sir.

0:01:540:01:57

The MO's dead.

0:01:570:01:59

Put him with the rest. Quickly!

0:01:590:02:01

EXPLOSION

0:02:010:02:03

GUNFIRE

0:02:030:02:05

-Not another?

-He was in the back with the supplies.

0:02:050:02:08

Oh, Christ.

0:02:080:02:09

GUNFIRE Set him down gently.

0:02:090:02:12

I need you back at the gatehouse.

0:02:120:02:13

-We can't have the others ambushed. Do you understand?

-Sir...

0:02:130:02:16

0:03:370:03:39

Captain.

0:03:420:03:43

You were lucky.

0:03:490:03:51

No, your lot saved my life.

0:03:510:03:53

This...

0:03:550:03:57

This was your real life-saver.

0:03:570:03:59

I need to get your sketchpads back from our CO.

0:04:000:04:04

He... He's not exactly artistic.

0:04:040:04:07

HE LAUGHS FAINTLY

0:04:070:04:08

Berryman?

0:04:080:04:10

Was I a beast to you at school?

0:04:120:04:15

Berryman!

0:04:150:04:16

Er, well, actually, you were always very kind.

0:04:160:04:18

Has anyone seen Captain Berryman?

0:04:180:04:20

What a relief.

0:04:200:04:22

FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

0:04:220:04:24

Berryman, a word.

0:04:240:04:26

Yes, sir.

0:04:290:04:30

ENGINES RUMBLE

0:04:300:04:32

-Yes.

-All right, then.

-Pass it.

0:04:360:04:37

-Almost.

-Stay on it.

0:04:370:04:39

-Left! Left!

-Push it, push it!

-Hey!

0:04:390:04:40

Come on! Come on, get stuck in!

0:04:400:04:42

# Down in my heart I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy... #

0:04:420:04:45

Who are you writing to?

0:04:460:04:47

Oh, um, a girl back home, Flora.

0:04:490:04:54

She's a teacher.

0:04:540:04:55

Here, James!

0:04:550:04:56

Oh.

0:04:560:04:58

I've known her all my life. She's almost like a sister.

0:04:580:05:01

Come over here! Over here!

0:05:010:05:02

But not entirely.

0:05:020:05:04

Two left feet, you.

0:05:040:05:06

She, um... She lost her parents in an air raid, just like me.

0:05:080:05:12

Almost there, almost there...

0:05:120:05:13

-Goal!

-CHEERING

0:05:130:05:16

Goal!

0:05:160:05:17

Listen up, men.

0:05:190:05:21

This is Captain March.

0:05:210:05:23

He's an official war artist.

0:05:230:05:24

Now, you're not to mind him drawing you.

0:05:240:05:26

His work is good for morale.

0:05:260:05:28

Sir?

0:05:280:05:29

Sir, is it true that the Hun lay on tarts for their soldiers?

0:05:290:05:32

Yeah, how come they get tarts and we get artists?

0:05:320:05:35

It's the morale back home that art can raise.

0:05:350:05:37

It's for your wives and girlfriends, your children...

0:05:370:05:40

LAUGHTER

0:05:400:05:43

Don't let them cheek you.

0:05:430:05:44

Sir?

0:05:440:05:46

Go on, sir...

0:05:460:05:48

-CHEERING

-Paint me!

0:05:480:05:49

Put it away, Bates.

0:05:490:05:51

But he's raising my morale, sir!

0:05:510:05:53

LAUGHTER

0:05:530:05:55

-Ready to move?

-Yes, sir.

0:05:580:05:59

Yeah? Everybody here...

0:05:590:06:02

Bates will drive you to a rendezvous point,

0:06:020:06:04

and then you'll be driven back down to the boat from there.

0:06:040:06:06

So, how far to the handover?

0:06:060:06:07

An hour at least, depending on the state of the road.

0:06:070:06:12

-Well, in that case, nature calls.

-ENGINE PURRS

0:06:120:06:14

Are we likely to come under fire?

0:06:140:06:16

Hopefully not.

0:06:180:06:19

Save fuel, man. As you were.

0:06:190:06:21

ENGINE STOPS

0:06:210:06:23

Yeah, come on.

0:06:230:06:25

-Promise me that you'll come and find me?

0:07:270:07:29

I mean it.

0:07:320:07:33

Captain.

0:07:340:07:36

Captain Berryman!

0:07:360:07:37

We ought to be off, sir. Rendezvous time's not that long away.

0:07:370:07:40

Of course, Bates. Good man.

0:07:400:07:42

Thank you, Bates!

0:07:420:07:43

Good luck.

-What's so amusing, Travis?

0:08:130:08:15

Patroclus, miss. Patroclus and Achilles.

0:08:150:08:20

I don't understand.

0:08:200:08:22

Your closest friend is butchered in a battle

0:08:220:08:24

in which he wore your armour because you disdained to fight.

0:08:240:08:27

You lament - perfectly understandable.

0:08:270:08:30

But they're not just friends, are they?

0:08:340:08:37

Erm... Agape, miss.

0:08:370:08:39

Love between heroes was regarded as surpassing the love within marriage,

0:08:390:08:43

but in Sparta's...

0:08:520:08:53

we have just heard that Mr Churchill has accepted Germany's surrender.

0:08:530:08:58

The war in Europe is at an end!

0:08:580:08:59

You may cheer, boys.

I... I was... I was looking for Captain March,

0:10:020:10:05

but perhaps I have his address wrong.

0:10:050:10:07

No, no, no. He has the studio upstairs.

0:10:070:10:09

We share an entrance.

0:10:090:10:10

Oh.

0:10:120:10:13

I don't bite, unless you pay extra.

Oh, good.

0:12:160:12:17

I wrote to you in my head every bloody day, but I...

0:14:200:14:23

I wrote to you.

0:14:230:14:24

Really?

0:14:260:14:27

Nothing ever got through.

Very old tea.

0:15:110:15:12

Fuck, it feels cold.

0:15:120:15:15

I also found...

0:15:160:15:20

an unopened tin of shortbread.

0:15:200:15:23

-It must be pre-war.

-Mmm.

0:15:230:15:24

Morning, March.

0:15:290:15:31

Captain.

0:15:310:15:32

-Erm, how much is that going to be?

-Shall we go for six?

0:15:340:15:37

Thank you so much.

0:15:400:15:41

THEY PANT

0:16:030:16:05

You've not mentioned her all week.

0:16:520:16:54

It was scarcely appropriate.

0:16:540:16:56

Do you love her?

0:16:560:16:58

I...

0:16:580:16:59

You'll love her too.

0:17:000:17:02

How cosy(!)

0:17:060:17:07

Please, Thomas.

0:17:070:17:08

Yeah, I don't understand how you can be so matter-of-fact.

0:17:080:17:12

Does she love you?

0:17:120:17:15

I imagine so, or she wouldn't have agreed to marry me.

0:17:150:17:18

Please say yes, Tom.

0:17:210:17:23

Say you'll be there, at least, please.

0:17:230:17:25

I... I've no family. CAR DOOR SLAMS

Hmm?

0:17:420:17:43

Please...

0:17:460:17:48

You have no idea, have you?

0:17:560:17:59

What about, Thomas?

0:18:020:18:05

You surely didn't think that we could set up house together

0:18:050:18:07

-like man and wife?

-Please.

0:18:070:18:09

Just... Just be quiet.

0:18:470:18:48

Hello. Erm, you must be...

0:18:550:18:57

Daphne - older sister, matron of honour and all that.

0:18:570:19:00

Thomas March. How do you do?

0:19:000:19:02

Michael says you're an artist. How very romantic.

0:19:020:19:05

Oh, hardly.

0:19:050:19:06

Flora, how do you do?

0:19:060:19:08

Hello, Thomas.

0:19:080:19:09

You look wonderful. Worth the wait.

0:19:090:19:11

Thank you.

0:19:110:19:13

Oh, sorry that I couldn't come to your supper party.

0:19:130:19:15

I am horribly unsociable when I'm working.

0:19:150:19:18

Talking of which, I brought you something -

0:19:180:19:22

a wedding present.

0:19:220:19:23

-Oh.

-That's so sweet.

0:19:230:19:25

We should probably...

0:19:250:19:26

Yes. Michael?

0:19:260:19:27

Yes.

0:19:270:19:28

You came.

0:19:320:19:34

Of course I came.

0:19:340:19:35

The fucking best man has to.

0:19:370:19:39

If any man or woman knows just cause or impediment why these two

0:19:440:19:49

should not be joined together, let him now speak,

0:19:490:19:53

or else hereafter forever hold his peace.

0:19:530:19:57

Do you, Michael Sadler Berryman, take Flora Agnes Talbot

0:19:590:20:04

to be your wedded wife?

0:20:040:20:05

I do.

0:20:050:20:06

Do you, Flora Agnes...

0:20:100:20:11

-DAPHNE WHISPERS:

-It seems wrong, having no-one in tears.

0:20:110:20:15

Well, I'd hope so.

0:20:240:20:27

Oh, I don't think we...

0:20:270:20:28

Compliments of Mr March, sir.

0:20:280:20:31

Thomas, you shouldn't have.

0:20:310:20:32

You can't get married and not have bubbles.

0:20:330:20:36

Thank you.

0:20:360:20:37

Thank you.

0:20:400:20:41

So, to the bride and groom.

0:20:410:20:45

Bless you, Thomas.

0:20:470:20:48

Oh, please, no speeches, anyone, or I shall cry.

0:20:480:20:51

THEY CHUCKLE

0:20:510:20:53

So, are you...

0:20:530:20:54

Are you really not having a honeymoon?

0:20:540:20:56

We haven't a bean until Michael's salary from the bank comes through.

0:20:560:20:59

We used pretty much all of our savings on the deposit for the flat.

0:20:590:21:03

So not even a weekend in your cottage?

0:21:030:21:06

Erm...

0:21:060:21:07

Oh, dear.

0:21:070:21:09

Not until it has a boiler, a new bathroom and no mice.

0:21:090:21:14

The flat is darling, though - right on the park.

0:21:140:21:17

You must come for supper.

0:21:180:21:19

Yes, you must.

0:21:190:21:21

Apparently, Thomas's pad in Soho was unreconstructed Hogarth.

0:21:210:21:25

How marvellous.

0:21:250:21:27

Not really.

0:21:270:21:28

So, won't you miss your teaching?

0:21:280:21:30

Hardly. All those dirty-minded little boys.

Of course I do.

If you have either sense or decency,

0:23:190:23:23

you'll do the same.

Oh, darling, you'll be fine.

0:23:520:23:56

You'll see.

0:23:560:23:58

I bet he's a real goer, but sensitive with it.

0:24:000:24:04

It's...

0:24:040:24:05

What?

0:24:090:24:11

Back to work, Berryman.

0:25:540:25:57

So, who else shall we invite?

0:25:580:26:00

If we simply have Daphne and this new chap of hers,

0:26:000:26:02

the poor man will feel he's being auditioned.

0:26:020:26:05

Well, isn't he?

0:26:050:26:06

She rather implied she'd already auditioned him,

0:26:060:26:08

and he'd passed with flying colours.

0:26:080:26:10

Sorry, what was that? I was miles away.

0:26:140:26:16

I said, who else shall we invite?

0:26:160:26:18

Er, well, I ran into Richard Tremaine

0:26:180:26:21

at Blackfriars the other day.

0:26:210:26:22

You know, from the regiment. We could have him and his wife.

0:26:220:26:25

What about poor Thomas? We haven't seen him since the wedding.

0:26:250:26:28

Daphne thought he was a bit of all right,

0:26:280:26:29

and has all sorts of eager spinsters lined up for him.

0:26:290:26:33

No, I don't think so.

0:26:330:26:35

Why ever not?

0:26:350:26:37

Well, he's not terribly sociable, really.

0:26:370:26:39

He'd only be a dead weight.

0:26:390:26:40

And you can tell Daphne he's a confirmed bachelor.

0:26:400:26:42

She'd only take that as a personal challenge.

Two or three.

0:28:590:29:00

Ooh. Let's find you a nice bench.

0:29:000:29:04

Such a drama this morning.

0:29:040:29:06

Hmm?

0:29:060:29:07

Bill Gladstone.

0:29:070:29:08

Which is he?

0:29:080:29:09

Victorian watercolours and china. Lives with his mother.

0:29:090:29:13

He was arrested, first thing this morning.

0:29:130:29:16

No! Why?

0:29:160:29:18

It turns out he was also living with the man upstairs.

0:29:180:29:22

One of their neighbours had sneaked,

0:29:220:29:24

and the police showed up at dawn and caught them together in bed.

0:29:240:29:29

Will he go to prison?

0:29:290:29:31

Almost certainly,

0:29:310:29:33

and Bill has a prior history of gross indecency,

0:29:330:29:36

which isn't as bad as buggery, but it's almost as bad.

0:29:360:29:40

No more handling Lady Downing's bristols for him!

0:29:400:29:43

Gross indecency? You mean...exposing himself?

0:29:560:30:00

No. You know, public lavatories.

0:30:000:30:04

Oh.

0:30:040:30:05

Now, darling, tell.

0:30:060:30:08

You sounded all shaky when you rang,

0:30:080:30:11

and I was quite worried.

0:30:110:30:12

It's nothing.

0:30:160:30:17

Hormones running riot, probably -

0:30:170:30:19

making me feel like a caged beast.

0:30:190:30:21

It is good to see you.

0:30:220:30:23

You know you can tell me.

0:30:250:30:28

You can tell me anything.

0:30:280:30:29

and you've gone to so much trouble, and in your condition.

0:31:000:31:03

Time on my hands.

0:31:030:31:04

I tidied your desk this morning.

0:31:060:31:08

Why?

0:31:100:31:11

I needed some ink and it was full of junk in there.

0:31:110:31:16

I hope I didn't throw out anything precious.

0:31:160:31:18

Well, I'm a hoarder. You'll reform me yet.

0:31:220:31:25

Where's Thomas's painting?

0:31:280:31:30

I took it down. I rather hate it.

0:31:310:31:33

Well, perhaps I could take it to the cottage, so you...

0:31:380:31:40

Would you like to hold him?

I was at school with Thomas, Mrs March.

0:41:540:41:57

I know who you are, Mr Berryman.

0:41:580:42:00

How is he?

0:42:020:42:04

0:42:050:42:07

He's, um... He's grown a beard.

0:42:100:42:12

His father did that once, for Ibsen.

0:42:120:42:15

Does it suit him?

0:42:170:42:18

Yes.

0:42:200:42:22

Yes, he...

0:42:220:42:24

He looks like a submariner.

0:42:240:42:26

It's oddly like having him back in boarding school.

0:42:280:42:32

I was forbidden to visit there too, in case I embarrassed him.

0:42:320:42:37

Oh, you needn't look at me with such sensitivity.

0:42:380:42:41

I'm well aware of what he did and why he's there.

0:42:420:42:45

I have been storing them in his absence,

0:43:020:43:06

rather than leave them with that creature in Soho.

0:43:060:43:09

I write him letters in soft pencil on one side of cartridge paper,

0:43:140:43:18

so he can draw on the other.

0:43:180:43:21

Well, you should take this one.

0:43:240:43:26

It's only a study.

0:43:310:43:33

He must have sold the finished portrait.

0:43:330:43:37

I call it Man In An Orange Shirt,

0:43:370:43:42

but it's you, isn't it?

0:43:420:43:44

Yes.

0:43:470:43:48

So you must take it.

0:43:500:43:52

Oh, no, I... I couldn't possibly.

0:43:520:43:56

Uh, I think it's...it's wonderful, the colours...

0:43:560:44:00

but our...our flat's so tiny.

0:44:000:44:03

Perhaps, um...

0:44:050:44:06

Perhaps just one of the notebooks?

0:44:090:44:11

Oh, well, that one's damaged.

0:44:110:44:13

Yes, but, um...

0:44:150:44:16

I was there, you see.

0:44:190:44:21

I have a very small house in France, Mr Berryman...

0:44:310:44:36

..in a very small village, in Cassis.

0:44:380:44:42

You can go there when Thomas comes out.

0:44:420:44:45

He...he can paint and...and you can...

0:44:460:44:50

you can write something.

0:44:500:44:52

That's very kind of you, Mrs March, but, um, he wants...

0:44:550:45:00

he wants nothing more to do with me.

0:45:000:45:02

Oh, that's just pride.

0:45:020:45:05

And I have a wife and child.

0:45:050:45:07

Is she happy?

0:45:140:45:16

She's...

0:45:160:45:18

I, um...

0:45:220:45:25

I should... I should be getting home.

0:45:250:45:27

My darling Thomas,

0:46:000:46:02

you refuse my visits so you're probably tearing up my letters too,

0:46:020:46:07

but there's nothing else I can do but keep trying.

0:46:070:46:11

It's beyond my control, do you see?

0:46:110:46:13

All those months ago, when I had nothing to lose really,

0:46:170:46:21

I wrote to you in my head,

0:46:210:46:22

but was too cowardly to set more than lies on paper,

0:46:220:46:26

and now I find I no longer care.

0:46:260:46:29

The love I feel for you runs through me like grain through wood.

0:46:310:46:37

I love you, Thomas. I love you.

0:46:370:46:40

Your face, your voice, your touch, enter my mind at the least

0:46:400:46:45

opportune moments and I find I have no power to withstand them.

0:46:450:46:49

No desire to.

0:46:490:46:51

I want us to be together as we were in the cottage,

0:46:520:46:56

only forever, not just a weekend.

0:46:560:46:59

I want it to go on so long that it feels normal.

0:47:000:47:04

I want to do all the ordinary, un-bedroomy things

0:47:050:47:08

we never got around to doing -

0:47:080:47:11

making toast, raking leaves,

0:47:110:47:14

sitting in silence.

0:47:140:47:16

I love you, Thomas.

0:47:180:47:21

I've always loved you -

0:47:210:47:23

I see that now.

0:47:230:47:24

Tell me I'm not too late.

0:47:270:47:29

There she is.

-Oh, look.

I can't believe he's nearly one already.

0:47:510:47:53

I say, not to worry about bridge tonight if Michael's away.

0:47:550:47:59

Percy can always take me out somewhere instead.

0:47:590:48:01

Oh, tonight? But he's...

0:48:010:48:02

I was coming out of South Ken on my way to Christie's this morning,

0:48:020:48:05

and I saw him striding towards the train with his suitcase,

0:48:050:48:08

as well as the usual briefcase.

0:48:080:48:11

Oh, yes. I'm such a dolt, darling.

0:48:110:48:13

I'd completely forgot to tell you,

0:48:130:48:15

he's got some dreary conference to go to.

0:48:150:48:17

Banking - whither?

0:48:170:48:20

You know the sort of thing.

0:48:200:48:21

Well, we can play when he's back.

I don't want a divorce.

It wouldn't be fair to Robert.

Please, don't you love me at all?

Oh, Thomas!

How... H-h-how... How are you?

0:55:330:55:36

Fine. I'm fine.

0:55:360:55:38

Stunning day.

0:55:380:55:39

We've just been kitting someone out for boarding school,

0:55:390:55:42

so I'm bracing myself for a long afternoon sewing in name-tapes.

0:55:420:55:45

Oh, he can't be that age already?

0:55:450:55:46

We haven't met, Robert. I'm Thomas March.

0:55:460:55:49

I knew your father when he wasn't much older than you are.

0:55:490:55:52

Yes.

0:55:520:55:53

Yes, before I became respectable.

0:55:530:55:55

Thomas, you've been too long a stranger. We must have you over.

0:55:590:56:02

Yes, we must.

0:56:020:56:03

I've not long moved, to Cassis.

0:56:030:56:06

Oh, to...to your mother's place.

0:56:090:56:10

Yes. That's right.

0:56:100:56:11

I'm just over for my...my new exhibition.

0:56:140:56:18

It opens tonight.

0:56:180:56:20

Oh, bother.

0:56:200:56:22

Well, you could go along, darling.

0:56:220:56:25

Well, no, it's... It's Robert's last night of freedom.

0:56:270:56:29

Can't let you start school without a present, hmm? Here.

0:56:290:56:33

-Thomas, you...you shouldn't...

-What do you say, Robert?

0:56:330:56:36

Thank you, sir.

0:56:360:56:37

Oh, that's our bus.

0:56:390:56:40

Come along, Robert.

0:56:400:56:41

Bye-bye, Thomas.

Goodbye, old man.

0:56:540:56:55

-I'll find seats!

-We're not going that far.

0:57:110:57:13

Oh, let him, this once. School's not that much fun.

0:57:520:57:53

Well, I'd put them safely away until we get home or you'll get all mucky.

I bet you've still not told your granny.
