0:00:33 > 0:00:35Write to him.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48How long will it take to get to Germany?

0:00:53 > 0:00:54I shouldn't let you do this.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58Why are you doing this for me?

0:00:58 > 0:01:00We are both exiles in a strange land.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06If we can't be human to each other then what are we?

0:01:08 > 0:01:10Where am I to leave the reply?

0:01:10 > 0:01:12If one comes.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35BUGLE CALL IN DISTANCE

0:01:41 > 0:01:44CHATTER AND LAUGHTER IN DISTANCE

0:01:50 > 0:01:52I want the commanding officer.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55You are just an orderly and therefore of no use to me.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57With all due respect, sir, you're making it rather difficult

0:01:57 > 0:02:00for us to do our job. If you could come with me to the ward...

0:02:00 > 0:02:04And you're not the CO, unless the Army's completely lost its mind.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Matron Carter. Might I have your name?

0:02:07 > 0:02:11Ballard. Major. J. 5th Punjab Rifles.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14I'm not supposed to be here. I'm not like these poor devils.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17I need to get out and get back to the front immediately.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20I'll tell Colonel Brett you want to speak to him.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23In the meantime, I must ask that you go quietly to the ward.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26And I must also ask that you give me your revolver.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30It's not Army issue. It's mine. Belongs to me. It's private property.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Nonetheless, before you go to the ward, I still need to take it.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39I do not enjoy being given orders by a woman.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42There is no point in you standing there with your little paw out.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44So, why don't you go and find the CO?

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Now, step to it. HE SPEAKS PUNJABI

0:02:46 > 0:02:48SHE SPEAKS PUNJABI

0:02:52 > 0:02:53Well, well, well.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57She speaks Punjabi.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17The gun...is mine.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25You'll do, Matron Carter.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Thank you, Nurse.- Orderly, can you take him? He can't walk.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39Hold up.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- He's still himself. - What, you know him?

0:03:44 > 0:03:46Yeah. Me and him got business.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53An Indian Army officer, Ballard, wants to see you.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Him and several hundred others. I'll put him on my list.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58I'd like it if you could see him quite promptly.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00He's the type to make his presence felt.

0:04:00 > 0:04:01He'll go on my list.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Have you been running?- I never run.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39DOOR OPENS

0:04:47 > 0:04:50That officer, Ballard. You give him a message for us?

0:04:50 > 0:04:52Depends on the message.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Just tell him Gorman the sniper's here.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57Tell him I said hello.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Is he going to want to say hello to you?- I reckon.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02So, will you tell him?

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Most important you get yourself sorted out and have a kip first.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07I'm nowhere near that yet.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Tomorrow, we'll have been here for three months.- I know.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Don't you think we should throw a do?

0:05:16 > 0:05:19I mean, we don't need a reason, but it's the perfect reason.

0:05:19 > 0:05:22- We can invite the patients and the staff.- What kind of do?

0:05:22 > 0:05:24You know, just something little and fun.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Charades, songs round a piano.

0:05:27 > 0:05:29Everybody loves a singsong.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31People can do their party pieces.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Bet you have a party piece, don't you, Corporal?

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Yeah. Mopping.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Well, I'll organise it. It will just be small.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43But you can tell people, and whoever wants to come can come.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45- I'm not singing.- No, nor me.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Oh, for heaven's sake! I'll start the singing.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50We want them to get better, not worse.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52I'll have you know that at home,

0:05:52 > 0:05:53I'm actually considered rather tuneful.

0:05:59 > 0:06:01What just happened?

0:06:01 > 0:06:02I think we're throwing a do.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'll pick some flowers to decorate it,

0:06:05 > 0:06:07and maybe even put up a stage.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09And, of course, there'll be a pianist, but not me.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12I'm not very good at the piano, but someone who IS good at the piano.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Have you put on concerts before?

0:06:14 > 0:06:18Oh, yes, I have a great deal of experience in theatricals.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21I was in the Worthing Operatic Society

0:06:21 > 0:06:24where I took the role of a pirate in Pirates Of Penzance.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28Everyone commented on it... very favourably.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29I just thought it would be fun.

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Give everyone a boost and bring us all together.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39Yes. Well, carry on, Marshall. I shall watch and applaud.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Morning, Major Ballard. Time to have your dressing changed.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47No.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Why not, Major?- Because I said not.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52Where's the commanding officer? Has he fallen down a hole?

0:06:52 > 0:06:54What have I got to do to speak to him?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56He'll be round as soon as he's ready.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Why doesn't anybody in this place do what they're told?!

0:06:59 > 0:07:01If I could just dress your arm...

0:07:22 > 0:07:23Colonel Brett.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Delighted you could finally make it. - I did warn you.

0:07:28 > 0:07:31I don't appreciate being summoned by the sound of smashing crockery.

0:07:31 > 0:07:34You have to sign me out and send me back up to the front

0:07:34 > 0:07:35- as a matter of urgency. - Do I, indeed?

0:07:35 > 0:07:38I've left 400 sepoys under the command of a young lieutenant

0:07:38 > 0:07:40two months out of school, who has perfect Greek and Latin,

0:07:40 > 0:07:44but not a word of the bloody lingo spoken by my Sikh Lions.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Matron here speaks more Punjabi than he does.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50You have an open wound in your arm. You're staying here.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Colonel...

0:07:52 > 0:07:55This is confidential. There's going to be a push.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57How in hell are my men supposed to execute that push

0:07:57 > 0:07:59if there's no-one there who can understand them?

0:08:01 > 0:08:04There's nothing leaving until dawn tomorrow.

0:08:04 > 0:08:05But you won't be going anywhere

0:08:05 > 0:08:07unless you pipe down and get treated.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Well, in that case. I want Matron to do it.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Matron has far too much work to be dancing attendance on you.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Well, shall we ask her.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20If it will mean less trouble.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36- You never said! - You never asked, sir.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38I don't know why you're so surprised.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40You know I began my service in India.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Yes, but I didn't know you grew up there. I'm quite envious.- Why?

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Well...tigers and elephants.

0:08:47 > 0:08:49We didn't have them in Godalming.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51It was a perfectly ordinary childhood.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55- You're a dark horse, Grace Carter. - I'm nothing of the sort.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59Oh, Sister, when this chap of yours gets some leave, you must tell us.

0:08:59 > 0:09:03We can arrange something so you can scoot off and join him.

0:09:03 > 0:09:04Oh, sorry, of course.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07I don't want you to think that we're gossiping about you.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09No, no, not at all. It's very kind of you, sir.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's bribery. We want to keep you.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16- I need you to cover night duty tonight.- Tonight, Matron?

0:09:16 > 0:09:17Is that a problem?

0:09:17 > 0:09:18No, of course not.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28So, what sort of do is this going to be?

0:09:28 > 0:09:33Depravity and absinthe? Will I plumb new depths of shame?

0:09:33 > 0:09:36More tea and biscuits, songs and charades, I'm afraid.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Hardly the last days of Rome.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- They're ready for us in theatre. - Yep. Two minutes.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Are you musical, Captain?

0:09:48 > 0:09:49No.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52Two minutes.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Don't mind my friend.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59One of the best, but the word "abrupt" was coined for him.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03- I don't mind him. - We could do a duet.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06A lush, swooning, romantic duet. Gazing into each other's eyes.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Followed by a quick engagement,

0:10:08 > 0:10:10become the most talked about people in the place

0:10:10 > 0:10:12and knock Sister Livesey here right off her pedestal.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16For God's sake. Can't everyone find another subject to discuss?

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Has everyone got such boring little lives

0:10:18 > 0:10:20that the only thing they can talk about is me?!

0:10:24 > 0:10:25God, is that the time?

0:10:33 > 0:10:34DOOR CLOSES

0:10:36 > 0:10:37You're shaking. What's wrong?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Joan, what is it?

0:10:41 > 0:10:43Can't you leave me alone?

0:10:43 > 0:10:45I just want everyone to leave me alone.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48Is that too much to ask?

0:10:49 > 0:10:51BANGING ON DOOR

0:10:54 > 0:10:57It all rather blossomed into something more extravagant,

0:10:57 > 0:11:01which means we've got far more to be getting on with.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04- This is for you to do, and you. - Flora, I'm on the wards.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07I don't have time to argue about this. I'm far too busy!

0:11:07 > 0:11:10I've got to organise the acts and turns.

0:11:10 > 0:11:13I thought we could sing something... together.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17What do you mean, together? On a stage?

0:11:17 > 0:11:19I'm not singing.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Ah, Matron.

0:11:29 > 0:11:30I hope you can forgive me

0:11:30 > 0:11:34for taking you away from all those other vital duties.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Major, you don't care if I forgive you or not.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41You just want to be the centre of attention

0:11:41 > 0:11:42and have everything your own way.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45What else would I expect of a man from the regiment

0:11:45 > 0:11:47who call themselves The Fire-Eaters.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56How would you know the nickname of our regiment?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00- I expect someone told me. - I expect they didn't.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03That name hasn't been used for 20 years. How would you know it?

0:12:08 > 0:12:11You know, I had flattered myself you might be interested in me,

0:12:11 > 0:12:14but now I think you're interested in the company of men that I keep.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Is there a question you want to ask me?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Someone you want to know about?

0:12:27 > 0:12:28I have no question for you, sir.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30No.

0:12:30 > 0:12:31Now you're lying.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35I always know when a woman is lying.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37You consider yourself an expert?

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Real women, yes.

0:12:40 > 0:12:41Not your type.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44And what type are we, sir?

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Army virgins.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Professional cold fish.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54Unbreached.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Untouched.

0:12:57 > 0:12:58Unloved.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03You're trying to provoke me.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08You let your guard down when you spoke Punjabi.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15There's something going on underneath your armour plating.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19As you said yourself. You're no expert on types like us.

0:13:19 > 0:13:20Then educate me.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27What makes a woman like you put on a uniform and behave like a nun?

0:13:32 > 0:13:34At least a nun gets the ecstasy of religious rapture.

0:13:34 > 0:13:35What do you get?

0:13:37 > 0:13:39I help people.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Yes, well, I don't need your help.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm only submitting to be good and get out of here.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51Then be good... and you'll get what you want.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES

0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Excuse me, sir.- Mm?

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Um, there's a Private Gorman outside. He says he knows you.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33- Who?- Gorman, sir. He's hoping to talk to you.

0:14:33 > 0:14:35The name means nothing to me.

0:14:45 > 0:14:46That's what he said, is it?

0:14:47 > 0:14:49What is he to you?

0:14:50 > 0:14:52He's a marksman.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54He's the shot.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Even one-eyed.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58No-one can bloody touch him.

0:14:58 > 0:15:02Well, you see, I'm the shot too, and he knows it, and he knows me.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Don't matter what he told you. He knows me.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12Think someone was going to cut them up as rugs for the horses.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14- They'll need a bit of a shake. - Need more than a good shake.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18There's going to be a lot of people going to this concert

0:15:18 > 0:15:20wanting to hear Miss Marshall singing.

0:15:20 > 0:15:23- I take it the colonel will be attending.- I believe so.

0:15:23 > 0:15:24That's nice.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Shows the proper spirit of camaraderie.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Will you going to be joining in?

0:15:29 > 0:15:32I've often been complimented on my baritone

0:15:32 > 0:15:34but, sadly, a quartermaster's work is never done.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Sure it will be a very jolly event.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Watch out for that mud.

0:15:45 > 0:15:46Are you all right?

0:15:52 > 0:15:57Rosalie Berwick, you are a Right Honourable! You're really a Lady.

0:15:57 > 0:16:00What judgment are you going to make of that, I wonder?

0:16:02 > 0:16:04It was just a passing remark.

0:16:04 > 0:16:05You always think I'm insulting you.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08Let's just get on with this, shall we?

0:16:08 > 0:16:09Ohh! Oh!

0:16:09 > 0:16:12SHE LAUGHS

0:17:17 > 0:17:18DOOR SHUTS

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Major Ballard!

0:17:27 > 0:17:29Sir. You remember me?

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Let me jog your memory.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36My officer put me in a wager against you,

0:17:36 > 0:17:38see who had the best shot.

0:17:38 > 0:17:39Long-range and short.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Be a good six months ago now.- Yes.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45And I won, as I recall.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50You did, sir. It was close, but you won.

0:17:50 > 0:17:53My officer lost a fair few quid. He weren't best pleased.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Yeah, sniper's feet.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01Stood in a hole full of water for five days without moving.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Skin split in me boots.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Still, got me man, though. He moved first.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07HE MIMICS A GUNSHOT

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Got him.

0:18:08 > 0:18:12Sir, you might have beaten me back then, but now, I never miss.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Perhaps we might have that wager again.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Yes, well, you're just going to have to stay beaten.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24- I'm due back at the front imminently. - I'll see you up there, then, sir.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27At your convenience. I can wait.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31I can wait for ever when I've got a man in me sights.

0:18:31 > 0:18:32Sir.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52I can't believe you haven't thought of something

0:18:52 > 0:18:55for us to do together yet, especially when I'm so busy.

0:18:55 > 0:18:56I told you, I'm not...

0:18:56 > 0:18:59I don't see why you won't sing. I bet you can.

0:18:59 > 0:19:03And I know you can play the piano. I've heard you in the church.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05If someone hummed a tune, I bet you could pick it up.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07You're the one that's used to performing.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10I just... I don't like being looked at very much.

0:19:13 > 0:19:17I just really hoped we could all do something together.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20The three of us. I just thought it would be so lovely.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29All right. I'll sing with you.

0:19:31 > 0:19:32I suppose I'll play.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40PIANO PLAYS IN DISTANCE

0:19:45 > 0:19:48Not rehearsing your party piece, Sister?

0:19:48 > 0:19:51I've got night duty. He should be on the ward.

0:20:00 > 0:20:02- # Two little maids... # - Are you all right?- Yes.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05SINGING AND CHATTER

0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Why are they staying? - They want to watch you rehearse.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Oh, I never rehearse in front of an audience.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Goodness me, Flora, you are precious.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20It was Worthing Opera Society, not Covent Garden.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Well, I'm just thinking of you two, and you're more shy than I am.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Just tell them it has to be a surprise for tomorrow.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29SHE SIGHS Where's Kitty?

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Good evening.

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Tom, are we really going to ignore each other?

0:20:56 > 0:20:58I'd prefer it, Miss Trevelyan.

0:21:02 > 0:21:03You're in my way.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Can't we at least be civil?

0:21:13 > 0:21:14I avoid you for a reason.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17That's got to be clear.

0:21:18 > 0:21:23But now you're in my way, wanting me to do...what?

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Come running when you click your fingers?

0:21:25 > 0:21:27I'm sorry to ruin your fun.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30You think I'm having fun?

0:21:30 > 0:21:33I don't know. Maybe it's entertaining for you.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Maybe you collect men and tie us up in knots for your amusement.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Well, find someone else to dance to your tune,

0:21:38 > 0:21:40because it's not going to be me.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16SHE PLAYS NOTES DELICATELY

0:22:24 > 0:22:25What's the matter with you?

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Everybody's really rather good, you know?

0:22:29 > 0:22:31That's supposed to make you happy, not miserable.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Can we rehearse now everyone's gone?

0:22:37 > 0:22:41You know, I think you'd be much better off doing it on your own.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Don't you dare.- You...

0:22:44 > 0:22:48You were the one that persuaded us. You practically forced us into it.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50I get such awful stage fright.

0:22:51 > 0:22:52I told Colonel Brett

0:22:52 > 0:22:55that I'd been really good in Pirates Of Penzance,

0:22:55 > 0:22:58but I froze and nothing came out of my mouth

0:22:58 > 0:23:01and I fell over some scenery and everybody laughed.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06Well, we just won't sing anything at all, then.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10Oh, no. No, you have to. I've told everybody now.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13Everybody's expecting it. You'll be fine.

0:23:16 > 0:23:17Where are you going?

0:23:17 > 0:23:21I'm going to see Cook about the sandwiches,

0:23:21 > 0:23:24and I'll look after the decorations too.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26That's wonderful.

0:23:26 > 0:23:28EXPLOSIONS BOOM IN FAR DISTANCE

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Could I take a moment?

0:24:20 > 0:24:23Can I get you anything, sir?

0:24:23 > 0:24:25You just can't stay away, can you? Hm?

0:24:27 > 0:24:30I'm not an invalid. If I need something, I can get it myself.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32I beg your pardon.

0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Is there anything for me? - No. And I'm sorry.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06There was never any guarantee that it would get through and...

0:26:06 > 0:26:09it might have been stopped in Switzerland.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12But even if a letter comes now...

0:26:13 > 0:26:15..I won't be able to get it to you.

0:26:17 > 0:26:18We're leaving.

0:26:19 > 0:26:23We have passes for England. We won't stand out so much.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26What do you mean, stand out? Are you having trouble?

0:26:27 > 0:26:30We have to leave. It's not safe here any more.

0:26:32 > 0:26:35I'm glad for you both.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37I truly am.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39It's so late for her to be out.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42Yes. We leave now.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47I wish I could have brought you a reply.

0:26:47 > 0:26:49I wish I could have helped.

0:26:52 > 0:26:54I think I know in my heart...

0:26:55 > 0:26:56..that he's dead.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00I think I know it.

0:27:04 > 0:27:08Good luck, Mr Tillens, and thank you for trying.

0:28:15 > 0:28:18I'm going to plant them everywhere, but I'll start here.

0:28:18 > 0:28:21It'll be something to look forward to, during the winter,

0:28:21 > 0:28:25when everything's so dreary, and it's going to get ever so cold.

0:28:25 > 0:28:27But in the spring, there'll be a carpet of colour.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37I feel very bad...

0:28:37 > 0:28:39about letting it slip about your engagement ring.

0:28:41 > 0:28:43I wanted to try to make it up to you a little.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48- It's probably a bit silly.- No.

0:28:50 > 0:28:51No.

0:28:55 > 0:28:56It's lovely.

0:28:59 > 0:29:00I just might not be here to see it.

0:29:02 > 0:29:04You're not going to leave, are you?

0:29:05 > 0:29:08I mean, none of us might be here.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10Oh, yes, of course!

0:29:12 > 0:29:14The war might all be over.

0:30:13 > 0:30:14Ce n'est que de la poesie.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17Ah! C'est quoi, ca?! Hein? Hein?!

0:31:11 > 0:31:13I see what you mean. Leave it with me.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Ballard.

0:31:23 > 0:31:26One moment, Major. I need to check something.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35- What's all this about? - It's just routine.

0:31:41 > 0:31:43- Read this for me, if you would. - Oh, for God's sake!

0:31:43 > 0:31:46- Haven't you got better things to do? - Just read it for me, please.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Feel free to turn your head, if it makes it any easier.

0:32:00 > 0:32:01This is her, isn't it?

0:32:03 > 0:32:04I knew she was watching me.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07It could be a variety of conditions.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10It could be Stargardt's disease, although, of course,

0:32:10 > 0:32:13we're not allowed to call it that now, because Stargardt was German. But...

0:32:13 > 0:32:17call it what you will. You're losing your sight, aren't you?

0:32:18 > 0:32:20How in hell have you been coping?

0:32:20 > 0:32:23That man in the purple dressing gown, I can see perfectly well.

0:32:23 > 0:32:26You have peripheral sight. You can see here and here.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36No wonder you were in such a rush to get out of here

0:32:36 > 0:32:38before anyone noticed.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40There's no push, is there?

0:32:43 > 0:32:45How long's it been getting worse for?

0:32:45 > 0:32:48Perhaps over the last year.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51And perhaps a rapid deterioration over the last couple of months.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00I'm afraid not answering won't change the facts. This does happen.

0:33:00 > 0:33:01Not to me.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05I understand that this is a cruel blow.

0:33:07 > 0:33:09No, of course I don't. How could I? I'm sorry.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15But you can't stay here in France.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20Don't send me back to some hospital in England.

0:33:20 > 0:33:22There's nowhere else I CAN send you.

0:33:25 > 0:33:26When?

0:33:26 > 0:33:28Tonight.

0:34:06 > 0:34:07What's the matter?

0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Anglaise?- What's she doing here?

0:34:10 > 0:34:12Cherie, ou est ton papa?

0:34:31 > 0:34:33That was a low trick.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35That was underhand.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40- It was necessary.- You know, we're both the same, you and I.

0:34:40 > 0:34:44Army, no other life, above and beyond.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47You, more than anybody, should understand why I needed to go back.

0:34:47 > 0:34:51And you're an empty husk, all rules and duty.

0:34:51 > 0:34:53You know nothing about me!

0:34:53 > 0:34:56Oh, look. Some passion.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59Yes, it's a bit too late for that, though, isn't it?

0:35:00 > 0:35:02You need help.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Well...

0:35:06 > 0:35:08..when I'm in England,

0:35:08 > 0:35:11a country where I've never lived,

0:35:11 > 0:35:14when I'm having my food cut up for me

0:35:14 > 0:35:17and being poked and prodded by pitying hands,

0:35:17 > 0:35:21when I'm just a diagnosis on a scrap of paper...

0:35:22 > 0:35:25..I shall think of you standing here...

0:35:27 > 0:35:29..and your remorseless help.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53Shot for shot, prove who's best.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55Just agree to meet me. Shake on it and I'll leave you alone, sir.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57You're always yapping at my heels, aren't you?

0:35:57 > 0:35:59Every king must fall.

0:35:59 > 0:36:00Must they?

0:36:00 > 0:36:03It's just the way of the world, sir.

0:36:03 > 0:36:04Now, will you shake on it?

0:36:07 > 0:36:08All right, Gorman.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10I'll agree to meet you.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12You can have your wager.

0:36:12 > 0:36:13You can have it right now.

0:36:39 > 0:36:40Tu restes la.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51Shit.

0:36:51 > 0:36:52Sit tight. I'll be back.

0:37:00 > 0:37:01Oh, it's Joan.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04Go to the house.

0:37:05 > 0:37:06Go to the house.

0:37:08 > 0:37:10Waiting for you.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14- Waiting for you.- Sh.- Waiting...

0:37:14 > 0:37:17And here was me, happy to settle for an handshake.

0:37:19 > 0:37:20I might have known you'd always be ready.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25When I beat you, I won't be crowing about it.

0:38:26 > 0:38:28She's in Matron's office, being looked after in the quiet.

0:38:28 > 0:38:32She's unhurt, at least physically. I need to ask you some questions.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Hello there. Here you go, Miss. - Thank you.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57- It's obvious they think he was spying.- It's just poetry.

0:38:57 > 0:39:00No, it's not just anything if it's found by the wrong people.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03Do you know where they would have been going?

0:39:03 > 0:39:07Yes. He said they had friends in London they were hoping to get to.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09When did he tell you that?

0:39:09 > 0:39:12The last time I treated him, sir.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14Right.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17Well, try and get these into some sort of order.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20I'll make sure they both get to where they're supposed to be.

0:39:21 > 0:39:23You don't think he's a spy?

0:39:23 > 0:39:25I think he's been incredibly naive and stupid.

0:39:26 > 0:39:29Must have stood out like sore thumbs in that village.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32They look different, they sound different.

0:39:33 > 0:39:34What a world...

0:39:35 > 0:39:38..where you're beaten up for a book.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12Don't move.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Can you even see him?

0:42:20 > 0:42:22Can he what? What did she just say?

0:42:22 > 0:42:25- I can do this.- And if you can't...

0:42:26 > 0:42:28..you'll kill him.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33Put it down.

0:42:47 > 0:42:49You poor bastard.

0:42:50 > 0:42:52I can't even call it a victory.

0:43:08 > 0:43:11- Where's Kitty?- How should I know?

0:43:11 > 0:43:13Oh! Why did I even say I'd do this?

0:43:13 > 0:43:15Well, you did and now we're doing it.

0:43:17 > 0:43:18Leave them!

0:43:18 > 0:43:21If Kitty doesn't come, you'll have to sing.

0:43:56 > 0:43:58Waiting for you.

0:44:05 > 0:44:09Oh, why didn't you just let me go back to my men?

0:44:11 > 0:44:13Why did you have to be such a bloody nurse?

0:44:17 > 0:44:18My father...

0:44:20 > 0:44:22..was a very difficult...

0:44:22 > 0:44:24and a very unhappy man.

0:44:26 > 0:44:28I grew up in a house full of guns.

0:44:28 > 0:44:30Guns everywhere.

0:44:31 > 0:44:33I spent my childhood...

0:44:34 > 0:44:37..unloading his guns and trying to hide the bullets from him.

0:44:39 > 0:44:41Of course, the inevitable happened...

0:44:44 > 0:44:50..and I spent a long time blaming myself for his death.

0:44:54 > 0:44:56So, you feel compelled to save everybody else.

0:45:02 > 0:45:05Was it your father in the regiment?

0:45:07 > 0:45:08No.

0:45:13 > 0:45:14Are you ready now?

0:45:20 > 0:45:22I don't even know which direction I'm facing.

0:45:44 > 0:45:47You know, I still think you have a question for me.

0:45:47 > 0:45:50If you do, you need to ask it now.

0:46:00 > 0:46:02Sir, in your regiment...

0:46:04 > 0:46:07..do you know of a Subedar Major Amar Singh?

0:46:11 > 0:46:13Yes, I do.

0:46:13 > 0:46:15He's fallen, I'm afraid.

0:46:19 > 0:46:23- Friend of yours?- A passing acquaintance of many years ago.

0:46:28 > 0:46:30More than that.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33Of course more than that.

0:46:36 > 0:46:37Of course.

0:46:41 > 0:46:43I always thought...

0:46:43 > 0:46:45I'd know if he fell.

0:46:52 > 0:46:54Somehow, I always thought I'd know.

0:47:25 > 0:47:27- You announce it.- It's your concert.

0:47:27 > 0:47:30- No, you announce it. I don't want to.- You're in charge.

0:47:30 > 0:47:32Get up there and introduce it.

0:48:19 > 0:48:22He said, "Go to the house. Waiting for you." What's waiting for you, Joan?
