0:00:38 > 0:00:42They'd sent in a builder from Chesterfield to do the job
0:00:42 > 0:00:44because they said it wasn't safe for untrained men.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48I said what we all felt.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52It's our memorial and our dead and we'll be taking it down.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51and we've made sacrifices for this factory.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53You've made good money on the back of that.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08They were all in Pals wi' me. I won't have them separated now.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10If I move your brother,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13we'll have an even number on one side of the memorial

0:05:35 > 0:05:36They don't fit!
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Not without making the names far too small to read properly.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44I said immediately I was given this task, uniformity would be better.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Every memorial to have the same design
0:05:47 > 0:05:49then we wouldn't have this discord.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38You need to tell the electorate you're a friend to demobbed man.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40This was my father's study.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Is it a museum?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45No.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Does Lady Allingham object?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Lady Allingham is in the room.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53I'm going to change.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Hankin's looking at a cotton mill.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14To buy? He's overstretching.

0:09:26 > 0:09:27This needs putting away.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38You were in The Lamb?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Outside, taking a photograph.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Of what? - Babies in prams.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47There was a line of them outside The Lamb
0:09:47 > 0:09:50and their fathers were inside with Norma Hankin.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54They were, erm, talking about the names for the war memorial.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Or Norma was.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01So I was able to ask about Joe.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05What's he up to?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Joe's dead.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- But, I... I thought... - He died.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37November 11th, 1916.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- In the morning. - How did they treat you in prison?
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Um...
0:10:48 > 0:10:51There was a rule of silence.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53In case what you said infected others.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Must have been terrible.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Having to keep all those opinions of yours to yourself.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Where are you staying?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11He doesn't know.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34What are you doing?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37In Joe's bed?
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Grace?
0:11:53 > 0:11:54You been using it?
0:11:54 > 0:11:55Every day.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59You'll be wanting a bath.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03So I've tried to make myself invisible.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08They don't want to give themselves away, they think that a photograph
0:13:08 > 0:13:11might steal whatever they want to keep hidden.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16No, it's not that. It's me. The photographer, not the photograph.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19That's what they don't like.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Look.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34How many died?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Too many.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39There are no photographs of the dead.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Where are they?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50FOOTSTEPS
0:13:54 > 0:13:55I don't want him here.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04He's not going to be on the memorial.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08No.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10They're ashamed of him.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15You want to forget.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20You don't want to remember.
0:14:20 > 0:14:25What are you going to do? Are you going to fight everyone? Hmm?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29"Shirkers, deserters, come live with me
0:14:29 > 0:14:32"and I'll fight anyone who says no!"
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Joe said to me, "Make it a better world."
0:14:38 > 0:14:39I won't let him down.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44And Bert wants him here.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49But why?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Because he's halfway between an older brother and a...
0:14:56 > 0:14:58And a what?
0:14:58 > 0:15:00And a father, John.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19RUBS HANDS BRISKLY
0:15:22 > 0:15:23I'll go with you.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37What do you want, Father?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Are you cold?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49They get it wrong, the painters.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52They've not got it right.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Now, if there were a photograph, then we'd know.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59We needed you there, son.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01A photograph of what?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03The nails.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06They didn't go through his palms...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11..because the flesh of the hand can't support a body on the cross.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18No, they nailed him through the wrists...and the feet.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25And the rib cage is stretched, which makes it impossible to breathe
0:16:25 > 0:16:30unless you pull your arm or push down on the nail with your feet.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34The pain he took.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Our suffering is nothing.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42Cold?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46This is not cold.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51I'm not cold.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Come on cold! Do your worst!
0:16:56 > 0:16:59We have nothing!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Nothing!
0:17:11 > 0:17:12We have our name.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31FROM OUTSIDE: Left! Left!
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I'm not sure it will ever be over.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36FROM OUTSIDE: Attention! And to the right.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46I don't know...
0:17:49 > 0:17:52..if the village would want me teaching its children.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Martha.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Our Mary says that you're a good teacher. Why are you stopping?
0:18:07 > 0:18:08You know why.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13I watched you living a life and filling it up with conviction
0:18:13 > 0:18:15and action and then you stopped.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Joe died and you stopped living.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22This is none of your business.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24He was my brother.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28The village is in pain.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31It's been in pain for years.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35In the middle of it all...
0:18:37 > 0:18:38..I lost my faith.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44So, I'm not the right man
0:18:44 > 0:18:51for a man of exacting principle as yourself to come to for help.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56Well, I'll take the man I know, rather than the man of God.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58For what?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01My confession.
0:19:01 > 0:19:08Everything that I say about the war and killing, I believe to be true.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15But I know that the stand that I took was also motivated by fear.
0:19:17 > 0:19:23I didn't want to kill anyone and I didn't want to be killed.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25I saw the men of this village go off to fight.
0:19:27 > 0:19:32I saw the courage it took for them to offer themselves up to suffering.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37None had the courage to reject suffering apart from you.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42What happened to Joe Middleton?
0:19:45 > 0:19:46Shot.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50At dawn.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06She doesn't love you. She loved my brother.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- She still does. - You mean you love her.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Cowardly thing to do, hiding behind your dead brother.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Sorry I'm late.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28Now, the law says when Martha Lane becomes Mrs Allingham,
0:20:28 > 0:20:31she's no longer permitted to teach.
0:20:31 > 0:20:37So, there's a wedding coming and a job available.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41You're invited to both.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09Not much would change.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Only you wouldn't have to worry about losing your farm.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I'm offering you a secure job and lot of money.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16But it'll be yours.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17Yes.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19And after that, it'll be his?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Aye. - Not Bert's?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23No.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I'll need to know soon.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32Know what?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Oh, he just wants a right of access.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44Son?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Would you show me your photographs?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I'm going to be married.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58And that means you're to have a new teacher. Here he is.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Your husband?

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Why can't you do it?
0:23:28 > 0:23:29Is it shame?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Or is it guilt?
0:23:34 > 0:23:40I'll tell you his name. His name is Coward.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44His name...
0:23:44 > 0:23:46..is Shirker!

0:25:24 > 0:25:25They won't tell us.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29They don't want us to know anything.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I don't want to fight any more.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I want to grieve for my boy.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10And what would you have instead?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Erm...
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Intestines, maybe?
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Or bluebottles. There were great swarms of them everywhere,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25living off human flesh.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27They used to get in your nose and in your uniform.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Used to wonder where they'd been.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32You knew, of course you knew where they'd been.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36A buzzing cloud of happy, busy bluebottles above every shithole.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43In the summer, I'd put my best sniper on lav duty, we called it.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Sights on his rifle set just below
0:26:45 > 0:26:49the most intensely buzzing cloud on the German trenches.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55And when the cloud lifted for a moment...
0:26:55 > 0:26:57IMITATES GUNSHOT
0:26:57 > 0:26:59..you squeeze the trigger.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05One in five times you'd bag a Hun having a careless evacuation.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09You have to remember, this is about remembering.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11That yes, we went to France to die for our country,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14we also went to France to kill for our country.
0:27:20 > 0:27:26CHILDREN CHATTER FAINTLY IN THE BACKGROUND
0:27:48 > 0:27:50DOORBELL TINKLES SOFTLY
0:27:51 > 0:27:53DOOR CLICKS SHUT
0:27:59 > 0:28:02LEGS THUD HEAVILY
0:28:02 > 0:28:04HE MOANS
0:28:05 > 0:28:09KNIFE BEING SHARPENED
0:28:11 > 0:28:17LOUDER SHARPENING
0:28:20 > 0:28:22What? What is it you want?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24Do you believe that Joe was a coward?
0:28:29 > 0:28:33You say that again and I'll kill you.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35You wouldn't be frightened of me
0:28:35 > 0:28:38if you didn't believe that Joe was a coward.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39Frightened?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Frightened of a shirker?
0:28:49 > 0:28:50KNIFE CLINKS LOUDLY
0:28:54 > 0:28:56You be gone when I get back.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08RASPING BREATHING
0:29:11 > 0:29:15RASPING INCREASES
0:29:19 > 0:29:22HE STRUGGLES TO BREATHE
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- What are we doing? - We're embracing grief.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- Whose grief is it? - It belongs to us all.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- Who were the dead? - They're ours.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41PEOPLE TALK QUIETLY
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- Ladies and gentlemen... - Sit down.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58..friends. Our great project,
0:29:58 > 0:30:02this testament in stone, our memorial to those we have lost,
0:30:02 > 0:30:06has just taken on even greater significance.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09The government, in consultation with the king
0:30:09 > 0:30:12and with the most senior figures in our armed forces,
0:30:12 > 0:30:16has decided that there will be no repatriation of the fallen.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Our glorious dead will remain together in France,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22united as one in our memory.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23No!
0:30:23 > 0:30:26I want him home!
0:30:33 > 0:30:38November the 11th will serve as a day of remembrance for us all.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44That's wrong. Everyone's grief is different.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47It's more meaningful if we join together.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49It costs less.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52And they can tell us what the history is going to be.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Do you want the politicians and the generals who took us
0:30:55 > 0:30:58into this war to tell us how to mourn our dead after it?
0:30:58 > 0:31:00We know why you're saying this, Grace.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Then come on, Norma. Say it!
0:31:04 > 0:31:05Out with it!
0:31:07 > 0:31:13It, it might help if we talked about the day itself, the plans.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20The 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Men died at 10.30.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Men died at 10.50 so that the war's end would have
0:31:29 > 0:31:31more of a ring to it in the history books.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36My brother...
0:31:36 > 0:31:39was shot dead on another 11th of November...
0:31:40 > 0:31:44..two years before, at 4.00 in the morning.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Will you be awake at dawn?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Will you wake up and remember him?
0:31:52 > 0:31:54This is not about individual loss.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57This is common grief, shared bereavement.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00They're bringing home the Unknown Warrior and giving him
0:32:00 > 0:32:01a funeral fit for a king.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05One of the pall bearers is Field Marshall Haig himself?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Yes, I believe so.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10The man who signed my brother's death warrant!
0:32:10 > 0:32:13We're all making big adjustments.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17We all remember before the war as being another time.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20A kind of...golden age.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23You had more servants. That's what was golden about it.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27It wasn't, it wasn't a golden age for me or for Margaret Boden
0:32:27 > 0:32:32or for Agnes or for anyone else I've ever spoke to outside of your class.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Right, why don't we limit our argument to the memorial?
0:32:35 > 0:32:36That's why we're here,
0:32:36 > 0:32:40to establish the most fitting way to remember those...
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I think we can at least agree all men are equal
0:32:45 > 0:32:47when they confront their maker.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Then you can tell me.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Is my son in heaven...
0:32:55 > 0:32:57..or is he in hell?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Where is he?
0:33:02 > 0:33:04Where's he gone?
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Whatever Rutter's offering you, I'll match it.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35What?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37But I don't want your farm.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I want to talk about Grace.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Now?
0:33:44 > 0:33:49No, no. From time to time, you and me.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52We have to work quietly, us men,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54to return her to the home,
0:33:54 > 0:33:57to soothe her rage.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02You keep the farm and nobody need know about our arrangement.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07You know, true acts of charity,
0:34:07 > 0:34:09when men are pure with motive,
0:34:09 > 0:34:13are always privately made and privately achieved, Mr Middleton.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15FOOTSTEPS APPROACH
0:34:23 > 0:34:26She's your wife. What kind of a man are you?
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Hello, love. I just left me cap.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Hell. Of course. Someone should have just said it.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48You didn't.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53Why not? Were you wrong about Joe Middleton, Dr Wylie?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Is his death on your conscience?
0:34:56 > 0:34:57He was a coward.
0:34:57 > 0:35:03Oh, yes, of course - bad, not mad. Yes, beyond help. Not your field.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08What do you think, Miss Lane?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Is there such a thing as a collective conscience?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16Beyond rules and law and doctors?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18We've killed a man.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22We think about his death - we can't stop thinking about it -
0:35:22 > 0:35:26but...but we have to resolve it or it'll destroy us.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32Joe Middleton is our problem. His name is our conscience.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Well, where's the damn car?
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Why don't we walk, hmm? Let's walk.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Do you love Caro?
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Of course.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Stupid question.
0:36:02 > 0:36:07Yes, you invented her, you made her into...whatever she is now.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10So it would be surprising if you didn't love what you've made.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13I understand your daughter better than you could possibly hope to.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16You understand her? I asked you about love.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18All you've got is feeling.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22I have insight and that gives me the whole picture.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Then imagine how much of a fool you'd feel if you were wrong.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35What have you said to him?
0:36:37 > 0:36:38Nothing.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53CAMERA CLICKS
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Thank you.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32Hello?
0:37:34 > 0:37:35He's gone.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Mr Eyre?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52HE PANTS, SHIVERS
0:37:52 > 0:37:54What about the children?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56What about...the children?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Sssh. Sssh.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00You know what this is, don't you?
0:38:03 > 0:38:07And he brings it here, to this village,
0:38:07 > 0:38:09to this house, to his bed.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12What have you done?!
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Not at work?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18No.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Strange pudding.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Can I have it on the tab, please?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Is this what I think it is?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Who is it?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Grace?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49No. I'm not having you catching it.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51- That's for me... - No, it is not.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56You'd risk catching it and passing it on to Mary? To Bert?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58No, enough. He's on his own.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04KNOCK ON DOOR
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Sorry.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Margaret?
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Some rhubarb and some treacle.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23It's my girls.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26All my girls.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35THEY ALL COUGH
0:39:47 > 0:39:49HE BREATHES ROUGHLY
0:39:57 > 0:39:58Mr Hankin.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00Doctor.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Ah, the stonemason's here, if you'll excuse me.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Er, how, how many are there?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14I saw 40 cases this morning.
0:40:14 > 0:40:1857 names down to Mellor T on the front
0:40:18 > 0:40:21and the remaining 55 names on the back.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23What can I get for you, Doctor?
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Half a bottle of rum.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Is rum something that might, erm...?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Decent corpse reviver.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Best friend to influenza, Mrs Hankin.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- Is?- Fear.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41If you want to reduce your chances of catching it, don't be frightened.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44And the poem on the side, same lettering.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46Is that right, Norma?
0:40:48 > 0:40:50Norma?
0:41:12 > 0:41:13I think he's going to die.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20I'm very sorry. Why are you here?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- It's all worked out. - Keep away from her.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27I had a little bird.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Its name was Enza.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34I opened the window and... in flew Enza.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35Is this a joke?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38All over England, people are singing songs about it
0:41:38 > 0:41:40because they think it's over.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43And our village had escaped it, hadn't we?
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Not many villages in England can say that.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49Why don't you stop clearing your throat and say what you think?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51We can't let it start again.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53- It's here. - And that's where it has to stay.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59No. Quarantine the village? No.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Apart from anything else, I need to be at Westminster.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03My bill is being debated on Tuesday.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06You could return, live out the life of this parliament.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09You might retain your seat at the next election, you might not.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13Do this, you will be guaranteed a long life in politics.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17High office is virtually assured and you'll have a place in history.
0:42:17 > 0:42:18Bairstow, I just...
0:42:18 > 0:42:23You're 36 years old. You've been promising quite a few years now.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27This is your moment, brought to you on a plate by a farm boy.
0:42:27 > 0:42:28It was his idea.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33If you lead the village in this, people, newspapers, history,
0:42:33 > 0:42:35will all say that it was yours.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37The losses this village took in the war
0:42:37 > 0:42:39will make it an even bigger story.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42We'll go from plucky to heroic, overnight.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44And you'll be the man taking us there.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48This is our time.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51And those are the first four words of your speech.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23This is the last of it.
0:43:26 > 0:43:27That's it.
0:43:36 > 0:43:37There's nobody here.
0:43:42 > 0:43:44We're alone. What is it?
0:43:46 > 0:43:48I don't love you.
0:44:03 > 0:44:05I can never win, can I?
0:44:05 > 0:44:08Because he's dead.
0:44:09 > 0:44:10You will always love him.
0:44:15 > 0:44:17I should have died.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22It's my fault.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25What is?
0:44:25 > 0:44:29If Joe had remained perfect to you, you might have found space for me.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35I think when I told you about Joe and Caro...
0:44:38 > 0:44:39..I tarnished him.
0:44:41 > 0:44:42And I lost you.
0:44:59 > 0:45:0323 years you were alive before we met.
0:45:03 > 0:45:06It's hard to imagine.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08You were waiting for me.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10Yes!
0:45:15 > 0:45:18Go ahead. Eat your soup.
0:45:19 > 0:45:20You don't have to.
0:45:22 > 0:45:24You can choose.
0:45:26 > 0:45:32Just as you can choose whether to tell Dr Wylie about your baby.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:46:35 > 0:46:37HE BREATHES SHAKILY
0:47:46 > 0:47:50You know what you've done? Nothing goes out of t'village.
0:47:50 > 0:47:51So I pour it all away.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54A few days without our milk, dairy'll drop us,
0:47:54 > 0:47:56they'll not take us back.
0:47:58 > 0:48:03They're calling it t'plague. They want to stop the memorial ceremony.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07They?
0:48:07 > 0:48:09The village.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14What did you say?
0:48:14 > 0:48:15The village.
0:48:15 > 0:48:19No. Before, in the field.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23We have nothing?
0:48:23 > 0:48:25But we have our name.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59No milk, no income.
0:49:00 > 0:49:02What will you do?
0:49:02 > 0:49:06Slaughter them now for the meat?
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Now be a man and shake hands with me.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10You've nothing left, Middleton.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Hey, what do you want?
0:49:45 > 0:49:49Is there a man here who has not lost a son, or a brother, or a father?
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Hey, what do you want?!
0:49:51 > 0:49:54I want us all to stand together tomorrow.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57Every single one of us.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00I want ALL the living to remember ALL the dead.
0:50:10 > 0:50:12What can I do for you?
0:51:26 > 0:51:27What day is it?
0:51:31 > 0:51:32Thursday morning.
0:51:35 > 0:51:36Date?
0:51:37 > 0:51:39The 11th of November.
0:51:39 > 0:51:41- But it...- I'm not going.
0:52:42 > 0:52:46There's a few more people to come. Well, it's a good turnout, really.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49Yes, the whole village is here.
0:52:49 > 0:52:50Yes, nearly.
0:52:56 > 0:52:59Well, you could do, that...that's not a bad idea.
0:52:59 > 0:53:02May some silence or something before, you know?
0:53:03 > 0:53:06- You freezing cold, are you? - I'll manage, thank you.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12Yeah, I saw him.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15CLOCK CHIMES
0:54:34 > 0:54:36You have to come.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38They don't want him.
0:54:39 > 0:54:44Mellor, Mellor, Mellor, Mitchell, Mumford.
0:54:44 > 0:54:45Where is he?
0:54:45 > 0:54:49I can't be part of something that chooses to ignore my son's life
0:54:49 > 0:54:52and his death whilst remembering everyone else's.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54I understand.
0:54:54 > 0:54:55How can you?
