0:00:04 > 0:00:11This programme contains some strong language

0:01:13 > 0:01:14He's going to speak again.

0:01:17 > 0:01:21And when he does, he'll tell us why he was there.

0:01:21 > 0:01:22And what he saw.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27He wanted nothing to do with the trespass,

0:01:27 > 0:01:29so why would he even be there?

0:01:29 > 0:01:30I don't know.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38Right, ready?

0:01:47 > 0:01:48Easy...

0:01:52 > 0:01:53That's it.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Try and put these in order.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Start at the beginning.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Here.

0:03:00 > 0:03:05My father came to see me. He is being relocated.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09So I'll finish this and then I'll be leaving the village.

0:03:14 > 0:03:15Sit with me.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33The day before I came here, I saw an old man

0:03:33 > 0:03:37and an old lady sitting on a bench on the station platform.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39They didn't know each other.

0:03:41 > 0:03:46I wanted to pick up her hand and put it in his.

0:03:48 > 0:03:49But you didn't.

0:03:49 > 0:03:50I did.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54What happened?

0:03:54 > 0:03:57They got on the train. He helped her up onto the carriage.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02Happy ever after.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04What is it, Bert?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07I want my father back.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14He's getting better. Isn't he?

0:04:19 > 0:04:25I, I want him back and...I don't want him back.

0:04:26 > 0:04:27I don't understand.

0:04:27 > 0:04:28Ask my mother.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Bert?

0:04:33 > 0:04:34I don't know what you're saying.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36But I know that your mother is a good woman.

0:04:42 > 0:04:43I'd better go.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55This is your home now.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57You can be yourself here.

0:04:57 > 0:04:58You've...

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Oh. Yes, er... Off duty.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Give me that. You go on up.

0:05:08 > 0:05:10FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

0:05:11 > 0:05:14You remember Joy? Married love.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15Advice on, er...

0:05:25 > 0:05:26'It's all upside down.'

0:05:27 > 0:05:29The world.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32She's gone, you know, Martha, wretched woman.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36And to think she's teaching our children!

0:05:36 > 0:05:40Count the horrors. It's a plague of scandals.

0:05:40 > 0:05:45Try to think of them as embarrassments or awkwardnesses, Mother.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48My son in bed with a housemaid in a public house.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53A divorce case looming, the humiliation of that trial.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Awkwardnesses, Edmund? - Well, I think George...

0:05:55 > 0:05:58The sex instinct is powerful and, and, and, and it's, it's

0:05:58 > 0:06:03wholesome, but when it's misaligned the consequences are terrible.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06- Mother.- And there's too much misalignment in this house.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11I mean, look to yourself, Edmund.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14Homosex is filthy and perverted, is it not?

0:06:18 > 0:06:22When the urge comes, can't you just...think of something else?

0:06:24 > 0:06:25Such as?

0:06:29 > 0:06:30Me?

0:06:32 > 0:06:34SHE CHUCKLES

0:06:41 > 0:06:42HE LAUGHS

0:06:44 > 0:06:45Please.

0:06:48 > 0:06:49Please.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50You want an heir.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54You already have one.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56My son.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Oh.

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Mother?

0:07:04 > 0:07:08Look, there is no such child.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10There will be no divorce,

0:07:10 > 0:07:12and you will give me a grandchild.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Why don't you want children?

0:07:34 > 0:07:36They make me think about death.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37Death?

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Well, they come after us.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42They move us along the shelf, closer to the big drop at the end.

0:07:43 > 0:07:48But they're the part of us that we leave behind when we're gone.

0:07:48 > 0:07:49Bloodline, Harry.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54I want to live a deep, full life, I don't want a child in my way

0:07:54 > 0:07:56and I don't want to think about afterwards.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59I want to dance, all the way along the shelf,

0:07:59 > 0:08:02and then fall off still dancing.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- What are you talking about? - 20th century.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Well, I won't have it. - I don't think you have a choice.

0:08:08 > 0:08:09My children are in pain!

0:08:09 > 0:08:12And each of them has been hurt by modern times.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14I'm not going to stand by and watch them suffer.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15What are you going to do?

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Save them!

0:08:17 > 0:08:18Who first?

0:08:21 > 0:08:23George, I think.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25May I make a suggestion?

0:08:27 > 0:08:29That we pay a visit to Martha.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Wicked Martha.

0:08:37 > 0:08:38DOOR OPENS

0:08:38 > 0:08:39Bairstow?

0:08:45 > 0:08:47What the hell do you want?

0:08:47 > 0:08:48Your help.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53HE CHUCKLES

0:08:53 > 0:08:55With what?

0:08:55 > 0:08:56A reservoir.

0:08:58 > 0:08:59The blue.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06The village?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10The village!

0:09:10 > 0:09:12You want to flood the village?!

0:09:12 > 0:09:13Dirty water kills.

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Sheffield has dirty water.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21People die because they don't have clean water.

0:09:21 > 0:09:23This reservoir would give it to them.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28There are some things sacred and beyond argument.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31This land, our heritage, our history.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33You can't touch any of them.

0:09:36 > 0:09:37Goodbye, Mr Gibby.

0:09:45 > 0:09:46DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS

0:09:50 > 0:09:53You teach them hopscotch, I hear.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Mrs Allingham wasn't available?

0:09:57 > 0:09:58No.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00No. Otherwise engaged, no doubt.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Well, why don't you show us?

0:10:06 > 0:10:07Hmm?

0:10:07 > 0:10:14Hopscotch. I don't think I can remember how.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17But you, it seems, have a talent for teaching the fairer sex

0:10:17 > 0:10:18how to hop about,

0:10:18 > 0:10:21Mr... I don't know what to call you.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25My daughter-in-law's special friend.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29Or...Mrs Allingham's gentleman companion. Or...

0:10:29 > 0:10:30He's my lover.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33No more lies and half truths.

0:10:33 > 0:10:34Martha.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Let her hear it. Let everyone hear it, because it's true.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39There's been too much not talking.

0:10:41 > 0:10:46Well, one consequence of your... talking...

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Harriet, why don't you tell them?

0:10:49 > 0:10:52For the law to allow a divorce there has to be an innocent party

0:10:52 > 0:10:54and a guilty party.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57George with the maid in The Lamb - not innocent.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59You with Mr Eyre -

0:10:59 > 0:11:00not innocent.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Two guilty parties.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05No divorce without a victim, I'm afraid, Mrs Allingham.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11We'll see you back at the house.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15George is waiting.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18BELLS CHIME

0:11:20 > 0:11:21MURMUR OF CONVERSATION

0:11:21 > 0:11:22Hello.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27INAUDIBLE

0:11:50 > 0:11:51What did your father do?

0:11:53 > 0:11:55Why?

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Just asking.

0:11:57 > 0:11:58No, you're not.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02You don't like it when it's you being asked the questions, do you?

0:12:04 > 0:12:05I wonder why that is.

0:12:09 > 0:12:10He died young.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11How young?

0:12:12 > 0:12:14I was a baby.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16What did he die from?

0:12:16 > 0:12:17What do you want, Gibby?

0:12:19 > 0:12:22He listens to you, Allingham, doesn't he?

0:12:22 > 0:12:24It's my job.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Is that it? Is that all?

0:12:26 > 0:12:30Because this reservoir would mean the difference between

0:12:30 > 0:12:32life and death to the poor families of Sheffield.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36Remember who you are.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41He didn't have the courage

0:12:41 > 0:12:43to come back for the trial. Oh, no.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Fancy speeches leading the people on and disappears

0:12:46 > 0:12:48when the going gets tough.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50So why is he here now?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53I don't pretend to know but I think

0:12:53 > 0:12:56Grace Middleton just might be the person to ask.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57- Yes.- Don't you?

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Er, how can I help you?

0:13:02 > 0:13:04I'll have a banana.

0:13:04 > 0:13:05- One banana?- Please.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10Er, please don't do that.

0:13:10 > 0:13:11What?

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Eating in a public place.

0:13:18 > 0:13:19Oh, well done, Agnes.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Thank you.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24And you are a very lucky girl.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26Imagine having a grandmother with a shop!

0:13:26 > 0:13:28Does Granny give you gobstoppers?

0:13:28 > 0:13:30I may be a grandmother!

0:13:31 > 0:13:33But I am also with child.

0:13:38 > 0:13:42Norma, have I just heard right?

0:13:42 > 0:13:43Yes...

0:13:46 > 0:13:47I'm going to be a mother.

0:13:49 > 0:13:50Come here!

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Come here!

0:13:57 > 0:14:00Ah, we're going to have a baby!

0:14:07 > 0:14:11Remember when you said that you could swim to the other side

0:14:11 > 0:14:13and Edmund said you couldn't?

0:14:13 > 0:14:15And you did.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Another time.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Well, I wanted to swim after you, but Mother wouldn't let me.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09CHICKENS CLUCK

0:15:37 > 0:15:38Hello?

0:15:47 > 0:15:49FOOTSTEPS ON STAIRS

0:15:57 > 0:15:58It's been ten years.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02I try to imagine what he would look now if I could remember what

0:16:02 > 0:16:04he looked like when he was a baby,

0:16:04 > 0:16:09but I can't, I can't picture my own son, then or now.

0:16:10 > 0:16:13His eyes, maybe. What about the colour of his eyes?

0:16:18 > 0:16:19His hair?

0:16:22 > 0:16:24I can't remember, but I want him back.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Well, could you not find him? - They won't tell me where he is.

0:16:29 > 0:16:30You could find out.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34Erm, there must be records and a woman in your position...

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Date of birth, name...

0:16:39 > 0:16:41I, I don't know his name.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47My family never mentioned him and I'm not allowed to speak about him.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48He doesn't exist.

0:16:48 > 0:16:51So I promised myself I wouldn't say his name out loud

0:16:51 > 0:16:53until I can say it to him.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59Why did you come now?

0:16:59 > 0:17:03I just wanted to make sure that you would want to see him.

0:17:03 > 0:17:05See him?

0:17:05 > 0:17:08There isn't a day goes by without me longing to see him.

0:17:11 > 0:17:17There's a bond between a mother and her child that does not break.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Doesn't matter who wants to break it or why - it cannot...

0:17:20 > 0:17:22It will not be broken.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25A mother has no choice in that.

0:17:27 > 0:17:29It's there - deeper than memory.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36I'm sorry, I'm not helping you. I don't know how to help.

0:17:36 > 0:17:37Oh, you have.

0:18:02 > 0:18:05George is saved. I was brilliant.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07It'll be me next.

0:18:12 > 0:18:15Darlings, you missed your honeymoon.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18Caro!

0:18:18 > 0:18:19I want my son back.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23- She's overwrought. - What's the answer to her question?

0:18:23 > 0:18:25I think it's best for everyone if we let that one lie.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28Everyone, meaning you. Is it best for Caro?

0:18:28 > 0:18:30It's in the best interests of the child.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33An illegitimate child doesn't want to know he's illegitimate,

0:18:33 > 0:18:34does he?

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Very probably he's a degenerate.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40Why? Because his mother is?

0:18:40 > 0:18:43Passed on from slut mother to bastard son.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Don't you ever speak about my sister like that! Ever again!

0:18:45 > 0:18:49It's what you were saying - only you dress it up in fine words.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51What are you frightened it'll be?

0:18:51 > 0:18:53An invert, or a hypocrite?

0:18:53 > 0:18:57Or both? Oh, no, no, then he'd be you, wouldn't he,

0:18:57 > 0:18:58Home Secretary?

0:19:02 > 0:19:04You're forgetting yourself, Bairstow.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06Might be worth remembering where you came from and where

0:19:06 > 0:19:07I could send you back to.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11The Mission Of Hope. Speak to the woman who runs it.

0:19:11 > 0:19:13And test the tightness of their security.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24I'm starting to think that you're unbeatable.

0:19:24 > 0:19:25Thank you.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28I don't know what to do.

0:19:28 > 0:19:29Resign.

0:19:31 > 0:19:32Give up.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34I've won.

0:19:34 > 0:19:35DOOR OPENS

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Martha? What is it?

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- The law.- What about it?

0:19:44 > 0:19:47It says there'll be no divorce.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49It insists that a marriage that nobody

0:19:49 > 0:19:53apart from Lady Allingham wants must carry on.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56I'm trapped.

0:20:00 > 0:20:01No, you're not.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07Go. Just go somewhere.

0:20:07 > 0:20:11Anywhere. Leave the village and the Allinghams far behind you.

0:20:13 > 0:20:19Five, four, three, two, one.

0:20:21 > 0:20:22Good.

0:20:26 > 0:20:27I'm sorry.

0:20:37 > 0:20:39HE TRIES TO SPEAK

0:20:42 > 0:20:44Again?

0:20:44 > 0:20:46INDISTINCT

0:20:52 > 0:20:54INDISTINCT

0:21:03 > 0:21:04Buh.

0:21:04 > 0:21:05Good.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09Muh.

0:21:09 > 0:21:11Good.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14Fuh.

0:21:16 > 0:21:17Good.

0:21:18 > 0:21:19Mother.

0:21:53 > 0:21:54Talk to me.

0:21:54 > 0:21:55THUNDER RUMBLES

0:21:55 > 0:21:57You saw it.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01His anger with her. And...

0:22:02 > 0:22:04And he wouldn't even try to...

0:22:05 > 0:22:06To what?

0:22:06 > 0:22:08To say it.

0:22:08 > 0:22:09To say what?

0:22:09 > 0:22:10Her name!

0:22:13 > 0:22:15He wouldn't say her name, Phoebe.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29Is she a repeater?

0:22:30 > 0:22:32I'm sorry?

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Four or five times some of our mothers come back to us.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38No, she's not a repeater.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41And I didn't ask you here to give me a lesson on morality.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43Oh.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Not my cup of fucking tea, frankly, Mrs Winkworth.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48Why am I here?

0:22:53 > 0:22:55What if a mother wants her child back?

0:22:56 > 0:23:00What if she's changed her mind about giving it up?

0:23:00 > 0:23:03You will understand we have to guarantee to adopting parents

0:23:03 > 0:23:05that a natural mother will not...

0:33:37 > 0:33:43As you all know, I have special affection for this village.

0:33:43 > 0:33:47It was my very great privilege to represent you in Parliament

0:33:47 > 0:33:49for the ten months we were in power.

0:33:52 > 0:33:53Why am I back here?

0:33:53 > 0:33:56Well, I'm now the leader of Sheffield Council

0:33:56 > 0:33:58and I bring you good news.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02- There will be hard times ahead. - Good news!

0:34:02 > 0:34:06And jobs and wages will matter more than they ever have.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09My good news is, you will have them.

0:34:11 > 0:34:12There is a new reservoir to be made.

0:34:12 > 0:34:17Valve houses, a new aqueduct, a dam - all to be built.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54You don't remember me.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56Bert Middleton. What's your question, Bert?

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Why would you remember me?

0:34:58 > 0:35:00A boxer like you - of course I remember you.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05How's your father doing? Has he spoken?

0:35:05 > 0:35:06Not really.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08I'm sorry.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13Actually, he has started to speak.

0:35:13 > 0:35:18Good. Good. And what did the doctor say?

0:35:18 > 0:35:21He might recover full speech.

0:35:23 > 0:35:24Well, that's wonderful.

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Then we'll know about his memory.

0:35:27 > 0:35:31He'll be able to tell us what happened that day. And why.

0:35:33 > 0:35:35Very good.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38So, have you got a question, Bert?

0:35:39 > 0:35:40No.

0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Night, girls.- See you, Margaret.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34Now if I were a gossip, the first thing I'd want to know is,

0:36:34 > 0:36:37has Bill Gibby been up to Middleton Farm to see John Middleton?

0:36:37 > 0:36:39No, he hasn't, Norma.

0:36:39 > 0:36:40Hmm, then I'd want to know why not.

0:36:40 > 0:36:42If you were a gossip.

0:36:42 > 0:36:46John Middleton got his brain bashed in on Bill Gibby's protest lark

0:36:46 > 0:36:47and he hasn't been to see him?

0:36:47 > 0:36:49Why not?

0:36:49 > 0:36:51Probably because he doesn't want to give you

0:36:51 > 0:36:53any more feed for your gossip!

0:36:58 > 0:36:59Right, then.

0:37:01 > 0:37:02Where are you going?

0:37:02 > 0:37:03The Lamb.

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Norma Hankin is too stupid to do you any harm.

0:37:09 > 0:37:14It's the men looking into their pint pots, muttering darkly.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17They're the danger.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19You're a good friend, Margaret Boden.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25I've watched you grow into yourself, Grace.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30You've said things that I never even knew that I thought

0:37:30 > 0:37:31till I heard you say them.

0:37:33 > 0:37:38I'll always be your friend, but I need you to carry on talking.

0:37:40 > 0:37:44Oh, don't look at me like that.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47You'll have us both crying in the street and then where will we be?

0:37:53 > 0:37:55HUBBUB OF CONVERSATION AND LAUGHTER

0:38:01 > 0:38:03HUBBUB DIES DOWN

0:38:03 > 0:38:04Right!

0:38:05 > 0:38:09Any loose talk you've got about Grace Middleton,

0:38:09 > 0:38:11- will be heard by me.- All right!

0:38:11 > 0:38:15And if you can't say it in my hearing then it ain't worth

0:38:15 > 0:38:16the breath that it come out on.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18I'm all ears!

0:38:18 > 0:38:20It's a bit more than ears, Margaret.

0:38:20 > 0:38:21LAUGHTER

0:38:24 > 0:38:29So much more, ducky. So much more.

0:38:37 > 0:38:38Can I talk to you for a minute?

0:38:40 > 0:38:42Just for a minute.

0:38:43 > 0:38:44Up here.

0:38:47 > 0:38:48Is John getting better?

0:38:48 > 0:38:50Yes.

0:38:52 > 0:38:53Cos Bert, he, er...

0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Bert?- He came to the meeting and he seemed...

0:38:55 > 0:38:57What meeting? Why are you here?

0:38:59 > 0:39:02It would cause me terrible political embarrassment if...

0:39:02 > 0:39:04If what?

0:39:04 > 0:39:06If your husband or your son were to say anything about you and me.

0:39:06 > 0:39:09Nothing happened.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12But your husband suspects and your son came to my meeting

0:39:12 > 0:39:15and looked at me like he'd kill me given half a chance.

0:39:15 > 0:39:17Why are you here?

0:39:17 > 0:39:19CHATTER

0:39:19 > 0:39:21She made me an offer.

0:39:22 > 0:39:23Spit it out, Alf!

0:39:26 > 0:39:31When the Middletons were in debt to me, she offered to pay me in kind.

0:39:31 > 0:39:33That's a lie.

0:39:33 > 0:39:37Beer tent, day of the boxing - she came and found me.

0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Let's go.- What?

0:39:42 > 0:39:46You can put it to her, face-to-face like a man!

0:39:46 > 0:39:49LAUGHTER

0:39:49 > 0:39:53What's the matter, Alf? Have you lost your nerve?

0:39:53 > 0:39:55- Ooh!- Hey!

0:40:41 > 0:40:43The reservoir will be here.

0:40:43 > 0:40:46- Right here.- The village?

0:40:46 > 0:40:49The people of Sheffield need clean drinking water, the slums...

0:40:49 > 0:40:51You're going to drown the village?

0:40:51 > 0:40:52It has to be.

0:40:52 > 0:40:57You made this the centre of your political life,

0:40:57 > 0:40:58you made me and everyone else...

0:41:04 > 0:41:08My family have lived here for hundreds of years.

0:41:08 > 0:41:13This is all of us, all of me. Look at my hands.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16- Grace.- Look at them! Under my finger nails, under my skin.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19You can't do this.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21Look at them!

0:41:21 > 0:41:23- Grace... - You'd be drowning me.

0:42:34 > 0:42:35Father?

0:42:38 > 0:42:41You were singing the words in the song clear as day.

0:42:43 > 0:42:44Talk to me.

0:43:50 > 0:43:51I'm proud of him.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57But he won't say your name. Why not?

0:43:58 > 0:44:00- I don't know.- Won't or can't?

0:44:00 > 0:44:01But why do you think?

0:44:01 > 0:44:03Eat up, Mary.

0:44:03 > 0:44:05Mother?

0:44:05 > 0:44:09I don't know. Why are you attacking me, Bert?

0:44:09 > 0:44:10Was I?

0:44:10 > 0:44:13I'm your mother and you may well be doing the job that your father

0:44:13 > 0:44:17used to do, but you are still my son!

0:44:17 > 0:44:20And I will not have you speak to me like that!

0:44:20 > 0:44:21- Do you understand?- You...

0:44:58 > 0:44:59Four o'clock.

0:45:03 > 0:45:04Will I see you again?

0:45:06 > 0:45:09My mother's death has made me honest.

0:45:09 > 0:45:10That's all she ever asked of me.

0:45:12 > 0:45:13You won't ever see me again.

0:45:18 > 0:45:22You have to work out who to trust and love.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26And then you have to trust and love them.

0:45:27 > 0:45:31Grace Middleton is a good woman! Believe me.

0:53:48 > 0:53:50APPLAUSE

0:53:54 > 0:53:59I have been tempted away from home by excitement and passion...

0:54:01 > 0:54:03..both of which are a part of politics.

0:54:05 > 0:54:09It is a great temptation to let passion take over your life

0:54:09 > 0:54:11but that would be to forget

0:54:11 > 0:54:17and betray all that is at the heart of what REALLY matters.

0:54:18 > 0:54:25It has become clear to me that it is my home, my family, MY village,

0:54:25 > 0:54:30and all of those that live here are what I really care about.

0:54:30 > 0:54:36And I hope I judge you right when I say THIS is OUR fight

0:54:36 > 0:54:42and as long as we have breath in our bodies this will be our village!

0:54:42 > 0:54:44APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

0:54:55 > 0:54:59We may be small but we will be heard

0:54:59 > 0:55:04and what we say will echo over these hills and far beyond

0:55:04 > 0:55:08so that in years to come people will say, "That was a voice.

0:55:08 > 0:55:11"There was a village that filled its lungs

0:55:11 > 0:55:13"and called out for what it stood for."

0:55:13 > 0:55:17And if those who want to drown us think they can do it,

0:55:17 > 0:55:21then they do not understand

0:55:21 > 0:55:24and they will never understand

0:55:24 > 0:55:28who we are and what we can be together.

0:55:28 > 0:55:30APPLAUSE

0:55:55 > 0:55:56Phoebe!

0:56:17 > 0:56:18John.

0:56:25 > 0:56:26Grace.

0:56:51 > 0:56:53HE YELLS

0:57:04 > 0:57:06SHE YELLS

0:57:13 > 0:57:14Phoebe!

0:57:39 > 0:57:40You finished it?

0:57:40 > 0:57:41Yeah.

0:57:48 > 0:57:49Will you marry me?

0:57:56 > 0:57:57No.

0:58:00 > 0:58:01Will you marry me?

0:58:07 > 0:58:08Yes.
