0:21:29 > 0:21:32The Colonel's wife has passed away.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- I don't believe it. - The Colonel killed her.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36No, of course he didn't.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38What a terrible thing to say, Tommo.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41She's been frail for a long while now.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43She died peacefully in her sleep.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46So, that's it then.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48You lost your job, the Colonel's throwing us out.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- No. You're to stay on in his hunt kennels.- Oh, good.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54And I'm to take in the Colonel's laundry, here.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56So I can look after Big Joe again.
0:21:56 > 0:21:57And what about Grandma Wolf?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Now, don't call her that. - Why not?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02She prowls around in sheep's clothing
0:22:02 > 0:22:04whenever the Colonel's watching.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06What will she get up to now?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23What did you do that for, Jimmy Parsons?
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Go on, then, Peaceful.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58I will. Till the day I die.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00You'll need to wash it before then.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04How did your mother die, Molly?
0:23:04 > 0:23:05She died as I was born.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11She gave me life, Tommo.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Don't you feel bad that you...
0:23:16 > 0:23:19I feel sad that she isn't here to love me.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21I still love her.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Like you still love your father.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21Don't worry, Tommo, the fish won't nibble your bits.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25See, it's not that bad.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32It's freezing, I'm turning blue.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33No peeping...
0:25:41 > 0:25:42I said no peeping.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I want to die.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Right here and now.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Because no tomorrow could ever be as good as today.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I'm going to tell the future. I've seen gypsies do it.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11The stones say that as long as we stick together,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13we'll be lucky and happy till the day we die.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Do the stones say who you'll marry?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Yes.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Mr Peaceful.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- OLDER TOMMO:- Crossed fingers, Molly's stones.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31They're just as reliable or unreliable as praying to God.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Well...
0:26:41 > 0:26:44I want to see my brother.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I don't think so.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47I want to see Charlie.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I didn't hate my father.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57He died trying to save me.
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Fathers and sons.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Fathers and sons.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Father?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Your father is in God's hands now.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14As we're all destined to be, my son.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15I don't believe in heaven.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I'm not sure I've ever really believed in God.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26At church, I'd look up at Jesus hanging on the cross...
0:27:28 > 0:27:30..and wonder why God...
0:27:32 > 0:27:34..who is supposed to be his father...
0:27:35 > 0:27:39..almighty and powerful...
0:27:41 > 0:27:43..would let them do that to him.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47Would let him suffer so much.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52If there is a God, why was my father killed?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Why does this war happen?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Why won't morning come?

0:28:26 > 0:28:28Mind out, you clot.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- Sorry, Grandma.- Don't you call me that around here, Thomas.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Makes me sound old and crotchety.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35When really you are young and kind-hearted.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38I can hear you, Thomas Peaceful.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40The Colonel wants tea for two.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- At 3.00. - Yes, ma'am.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45And how do I take my tea?
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Same as yesterday, ma'am.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Precisely.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52- Same as the day before... - Stop muttering, Molly Monks.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Well, he's old and slow. He's no use for hunting.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- No, sir.- No use to anyone. - No, sir.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Well, you know what to do.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- Sir. - Charlie?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08What is it, lad?
0:29:09 > 0:29:10He's done you no harm.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13The hounds are my property, I decide whether they live or die.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14Yes, you do, sir.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- But he's Molly's favourite. - That's sentimental rot.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19He's a useless old beast.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- I got him, sir. - Good man.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Take care of it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29Charlie.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06He had no idea, Charlie, we did it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08That's it, run! Run!
0:30:08 > 0:30:10A proper job, Tommo.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14I'll make an apple pie to go with the stew.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Here, boy, in here, in here.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Get out of my way!
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Get him inside, get him inside.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24The Colonel's following.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26He's not just following you, Charlie Peaceful,
0:30:26 > 0:30:27he's right behind you.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30I've got the sheets ready for you now, Colonel.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I'm not here for the blasted linen.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- Thomas?- Sir?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Charles.- This dog had run away, sir, honest.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Liars as well as thieves.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- I beg your pardon, Colonel. - I had to do it, Mother.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Do what, Charlie? - He told me to shoot him.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48- Shoot who? - I can do as I like with him.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- With who?- He stole one of my hounds, Mrs Peaceful.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54And as magistrate of this village...
0:30:54 > 0:30:56So, am I to understand, Colonel,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58that if you were to shoot this hound,
0:30:58 > 0:30:59then he was of no use to you at all?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01No, no use.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Joe, would you fetch the money mug from the mantelpiece, please?
0:31:06 > 0:31:07JOE: Money mug.
0:31:09 > 0:31:10- Money, Mother.- Thank you, Joe.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15There you are, Colonel. Six pence.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Not a bad price for a useless old dog.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20So now he's not stolen, is he?
0:31:23 > 0:31:24You're both fired.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31I don't know what you're so pleased about.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33You've both just lost your jobs.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- Thomas Brass, sir. - Hello, lad.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Morning.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Any work for a young labourer?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55No, I've got no work for you here, lad.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- Nothing?- No, I've got my men, I don't need no more. Sorry, lad.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10And another pint then, please.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12Hang on.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14No. You better make that a half.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17To your health.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Nice one, Jimmy.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- I did it for you, Fred. We're a team.- Buck up, Nipper.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Nice one, Freddo.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- All right, Tommo?- Nipper. - Out of a job, is it?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Well, you know, Pete.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51There's a card game Friday fortnight against the King's Arms.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52We could do with a reserve.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Old enough now to play with the lads, are you?
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Young Peaceful.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I'll have a go.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- What's trumps? - Hearts.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21- Sod it.- What'd you play that for?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23You're supposed to be counting the cards.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Looks like someone's lost their place on the card team, Jimmy.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Better luck next time there, Jimmy.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30Well done, Tommo.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33So, how is the farm? Hard on your own?
0:33:33 > 0:33:34I'll get by.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- There's always help at harvest. - It's a lot of work, though.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- And you're not getting any younger, mind you.- Hey, cheeky.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Well...
0:33:44 > 0:33:45Well, what?
0:33:47 > 0:33:48How about I come and work for you?
0:33:52 > 0:33:55I suppose that'd serve the Colonel right,
0:33:55 > 0:33:57if I did take you on.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- Both of you. - Both of us?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02But one wage, mind.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05We don't want you Peacefuls here.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Bothering our Molly.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10She don't want to see you. Go on.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13Go on.

0:35:28 > 0:35:29Charlie?
0:35:32 > 0:35:33- Charlie?- Hm.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37How are we going to see Molly again?
0:35:41 > 0:35:42We're not.
0:35:43 > 0:35:44No.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49It's good to have women out of your hair.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- I'll walk. - All right.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- Don't be late, though, Tommo lad. - I won't.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49Get up there, boys.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- I think Molly might meet us later. - Huh?- In secret.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Play your little daft games without me, Tommo, all right?
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Work, Tommo!
0:37:09 > 0:37:10Thank you.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17Ooh er, look at this at one.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- I think I'm in love. - Pardon?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27I think I'm in love.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Well, which one? Her?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39You're far too young to be in love, Tommo.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42All right, boy?
0:38:51 > 0:38:52Come on, girls.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58HE BREATHES LOUDLY

0:40:59 > 0:41:01That's how we beat the Boer in the Cape
0:41:01 > 0:41:05and how we knocked the stuffing out of the Zulu in Natal.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Horses and guns.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10But we work with cart horses, you daft old bug...
0:41:12 > 0:41:15You'll need hunters, not ploughers.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Our horses will no sooner charge into battle

0:50:48 > 0:50:49I'm nearly 16.
0:50:49 > 0:50:52You gotta be 19 to serve overseas, Tommo. They don't want boys.

0:51:04 > 0:51:07If women had their say, there wouldn't be war in the first place.
0:51:08 > 0:51:12- Charlie, you wouldn't go, would you? - No, don't be daft.
0:51:14 > 0:51:17I'd shoot a rat, because it might bite me.
0:51:19 > 0:51:22I'd shoot a rabbit, cos I could eat that.

0:51:24 > 0:51:26I never met a German.
0:51:27 > 0:51:31You've seen the lists, Tommo? All the killed and wounded?
0:51:31 > 0:51:33What's it for?
0:51:33 > 0:51:36So a few little rich men can hang on to power a little while longer
0:51:36 > 0:51:37while they bleed us dry?
0:51:37 > 0:51:41- I don't know about that, Charlie. - No, it ain't right.
0:51:41 > 0:51:43I couldn't bare the loss. Not with James gone.
0:51:43 > 0:51:44It's better than shovelling shit.
0:51:44 > 0:51:48It's better than breaking your back all your life working someone else's land.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51- It's better pay, too.- It's not a job that lasts forever, though, is it?
0:51:51 > 0:51:53- Who wants to get stuck here forever? - Here is home, Tommo.
0:51:53 > 0:51:57- This is where you're from. - Who would you rather see walking through the streets?
