00:00The End
00:30Oh, my God!
00:32Oh, my God!
00:54Who the hell do you think you're talking about?
00:56Stop it! Please, stop it!
00:58There's nothing that makes this place tick, and don't any of you forget that!
01:00Please, come to order, please!
01:03And what's so funny?
01:04Don't tempt me.
01:05Since when have you been appointed chairman of the board?
01:07Since you've started to make a fool of yourself?
01:09Now, look!
01:10Now, stop it, dude!
01:11Yeah, put a sock in it!
01:12Like hell, I've been accused of making some sort of daft deal with...
01:14You'd rather be accused of anything just because you're feeling wrong...
01:16Insinuations, then, but do you just expect me to sit here listening for you lot guthing on...
01:19Don't ever say touchy!
01:20Well, that's bloody marvellous, coming from you.
01:22You've done nothing but self for the past six weeks.
01:24Now, stop this, stop it!
01:26Come on, pull yourself together.
01:27You're behaving like a lot of children.
01:28Look, I accepted what they gave me in good faith.
01:30Well, of course you did.
01:31Well, they grabbed our petrol.
01:33You might at least have looked at what they gave you.
01:35Now, listen, Greg.
01:37I don't believe Greg's to blame.
01:38Look, I'll go back!
01:39I'll take everything back to Little Barton and see if there's a swab if I want!
01:42Shut up!
01:43Right.
01:44Now, we traded 200 gallons of petrol for things that we needed, including some seed which turned out to be sour.
01:50That doesn't make Greg a fool.
01:52Neither does it make the people at Little Barton cheats.
01:55The fact remains.
01:56We got their no good seed and they got our petrol.
01:59But then we go back to them.
02:00Well, I just wish I shared your faith in human nature.
02:03I wish you did too.
02:05Why should we assume they want to do us down?
02:07Why shouldn't we talk to them?
02:09It's been tried, Arthur.
02:10That's a good reason for not trying again.
02:12We have mutual needs.
02:13Look, we all have mutual needs to protect ourselves.
02:16It's the same for the people at Little Barton.
02:18It's the same for every other settlement.
02:19It's the same for us.
02:20We're all out for whatever's best for ourselves.
02:23Now, you don't Barton unless you've got more of something than you need.
02:26A surplus.
02:27We just haven't got one.
02:29Not yet.
02:31Not for a long, long time, Arthur.
02:34I'm going to bed.
02:35Hang on, Bart.
02:36What about our spuds?
02:37They've got spuds at Barton.
02:39Everyone's got spuds.
02:40A wheat crop, then?
02:42What wheat crop?
02:43We haven't got it in yet.
02:44What about the weather?
02:45We just need another summer like last year.
02:47We've got nothing at all.
02:48You can't go bartering and just...
03:14Just do it and keep them in.
03:15We can't do it.
03:16I've got a lot of storms.
03:17You know what?
03:18I'm trying to get to the plate.
03:19We don't have to do it.
03:20You can't do it.
03:21You can't do it.
03:22You can't do it.
03:23I'm trying to do it.
03:24You know what?
03:25Did you know what's going on?
03:26Do it?
03:27No.
03:28You don't go to the place?
03:29You can't do it.
03:31You can't buy the ê´€co.
03:32You can't do it.
03:33No.
03:34You can't do it.
03:35I'm trying to go by,
03:36I'm trying to go.
03:37You can't do it.
03:38And then...
03:39I'm trying to sit here.
03:40Let's go.
04:10Abbie, listen, did you decide what you want to do about those sheep?
04:31I rarely think they can do with some new grass.
04:33Well, then shift them.
04:34Yes, but it's not quite as straightforward as that.
04:36If we use the bottom meadows a bit far from the house
04:39and there are still those dogs about.
04:41For heaven's sake, Arthur, just do what you want.
04:50The pig's wheel wasn't taken out last night.
04:52It stinks.
04:53I think somebody could have thought of it.
04:55Well, I can't do everything.
04:57I mean, just put it out last thing at night.
05:09One doesn't say hello in this house.
05:24Really, the children could light the stove.
05:39I have enough to do as it is.
05:41It's the baby and her poor sick mother upstairs and trying to feed all of you as well.
05:46The children should light it.
05:47I shouldn't have to do it.
05:48You know, in the village where we went for holidays when I was a small girl, it was always the job of the children.
06:01Children are too young.
06:02They're playing with fires.
06:03What's on the agenda for this morning?
06:08I don't know.
06:09Whatever you want.
06:10I thought I might do the greenhouse if that's all right.
06:14If that's what you want, then do it.
06:16Well, couldn't you both do that outside?
06:29Sure.
06:30I told him.
06:31I said,
06:32do you have to clean the rabbits in the kitchen?
06:34Outside is the place for it.
06:37Couldn't we do something about keeping a pig's wheel in another place?
06:41Wasn't put out last night.
06:43Oh, Abby.
06:45There's something wrong with one of the cows.
06:46It's hobbling rather badly.
06:47I asked Arthur to have him.
06:49I couldn't find him.
06:50Oh, I'll see to it.
06:53Ah, there you are.
06:54You've got a new job from now on.
06:56I was just saying to Greg.
06:57The children...
06:58Abby, Vic said to come quick.
07:00All right.
07:14Oh, no.
07:16All of them?
07:18Yes.
07:20Fox?
07:21I suppose so.
07:22Say a fox will do that.
07:24Kill everything and then just take off what it needs.
07:27How'd it get in?
07:28Main gate was open.
07:31John?
07:32Weren't you supposed to be in charge of the chickens this week?
07:35But I didn't leave it open.
07:36It wasn't me.
07:37It wasn't me.
07:49I didn't leave it open.
07:52Honest, it wasn't my fault.
07:56Come on.
08:07Anything I can do?
08:25Anything I can do?
08:37Is it one thing in particular?
08:42Or are you just generally feeling fed up?
08:45I don't know, Jen.
08:48It's all sorts of things.
08:52Why can't they do things on their own?
08:55Why do they have to keep running to me all the time?
08:58I don't think any of us mean to burden you.
09:01But right from the start, it was you who organized things.
09:04If it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have stayed together.
09:06So it's natural that we come to you for help.
09:09Yes, but who do I go to?
09:11Who listens to my worries?
09:13Or aren't I allowed to have any?
09:15I'm listening.
09:18Yes, I know.
09:20I suppose I just want a good chance to moan, really.
09:23Go ahead, then. Have a good shout at me if it'll make you feel any better.
09:26It wouldn't.
09:31It's Peter, isn't it?
09:33Partly.
09:35Why don't you have another go at looking for him?
09:38We've got the petrol.
09:40And rob you all for what Greg calls a compulsion.
09:43All you can do without it.
09:45It's thanks to you that we've got something here that's working.
09:48Why don't you?
09:49No.
09:51Give me one good reason why not.
09:55You think we can't do without you?
09:58That's rubbish, Jenny.
09:59No, it isn't, or you wouldn't get into striptease.
10:01Go on.
10:03Be a devil. Try us.
10:05Thanks, Jen, but...
10:07But what?
10:08You don't run this place, you know.
10:09You may be the queen of the castle, but it's Greg who actually runs it.
10:13Yes, I know.
10:15Well, there you are, then.
10:17I'll think about it.
10:18Hard.
10:20It's all right for you, Jen.
10:22What?
10:24Well, you've got Greg.
10:26Yes.
10:30And you're pregnant, aren't you?
10:34How did you know?
10:35Well, it's not something you can hide, however hard you try.
10:42Thanks anyway for trying.
10:45There was someone, wasn't there?
10:47What?
10:48Someone you could have taken your troubles to.
10:58What now?
11:05What is it?
11:14Look over there.
11:15You're ringing the bell. What's going on?
11:16Look.
11:17Strange people.
11:34Right, where do you go?
11:36Right, where do you go?
11:37Look.
11:38Strange people.
11:44Right, wait here, everybody.
11:51Do you have sickness amongst you?
11:53We have a girl who's ill.
11:55We don't know what it is.
11:57Well, I'm sorry, but we can't take risks.
12:00Would you ask your people not to come any closer to the house?
12:03Understood.
12:05Let's see to it, Richard.
12:07May I come forward?
12:11Yes, all right.
12:20What's happening?
12:21I don't know.
12:22They just suddenly appeared.
12:23I'd better go and see.
12:25Abby, let Greg deal with it.
12:35Where are you from?
12:37Goston.
12:39Where's that?
12:40It's about 50 miles north of here.
12:42And where are you all going to?
12:43Oh, nowhere special.
12:45We're looking for a place.
12:47What were you doing in Goston?
12:48We had a farm.
12:50We were managing quite nicely.
12:52Why'd you bother to leave it?
12:53We had no option.
12:54We were driven off.
12:55By whom?
12:56Oh, a group near us.
12:58Maybe 30 or 40 of them.
13:00It was all right at first.
13:01Then they banded themselves up into what they called militia.
13:03Said they were establishing local government.
13:06They'd give us protection, they said.
13:08God knows what against.
13:10Anyway, in return we were to supply them with a percentage of our stores and crops.
13:16But I turned them down and said, no, we didn't have enough to spare.
13:19None of us have.
13:20So they drove you off.
13:21Simple as that.
13:23Oh, they clothed it in legal sounding phrases, but with no means of defending ourselves against them.
13:27So we left.
13:29Hope to God they don't come this way.
13:31Well, they're not far from here.
13:32And once they start running short, they'll widen their range.
13:35And I can tell you, they're a rough lot.
13:37Yes, well, we've dealt with people like that before.
13:39Aye, well, we might have stood a better chance if we'd kept in with other people.
13:43Is there anything that we can do to help you?
13:45We might be able to spare you a little food or something.
13:48No, thanks. No, we can manage.
13:50We'll get by.
13:51No, it's the girl.
13:52She's very sick.
13:54She was ill when we found her and the jury's made her worse.
13:57She needs rest and far more attention than we can give her.
14:01Yes, but if she's got something that's infectious or contagious,
14:06well, that's asking a lot.
14:08I know, but if she stays with us on the road, she might die.
14:14Well, you stay here for a while.
14:16Now, you understand this involves other people.
14:18So I can't give you an answer about it straight away.
14:21Of course.
14:23We can wait.
14:24Right.
14:33Right, everybody.
14:35We're waiting.
14:41We might as well eat.
14:48We might as well eat.
15:05Abbie?
15:09Abbie, you there?
15:18No, she wasn't there.
15:23I don't know where she could be.
15:25Did you try outside?
15:28I've been all round.
15:32She's not in her room.
15:33Well, she can't just have vanished.
15:35Where the hell is Abbie?
15:36I don't know.
15:38Oh, this can't wait.
15:39Look, it's pretty straightforward.
15:41Those people out there want to leave a sick girl with us.
15:43Now, the question is if she's got something that's infectious or contagious,
15:46or can we afford the risk of letting us stay here?
15:51Well?
16:16Yes.
16:39So we're agreed?
16:41Mm-hmm.
16:42Yes, yes.
16:44That's it, then.
16:47All right.
17:14You don't need to say it.
17:17Please understand.
17:19It's not that we don't sympathize with you,
17:21but we have children here with us.
17:24We're going on.
17:25What's going on?
17:38I'm sorry,
17:40but it was a decision we all made.
17:55That's not the point, though, is it?
18:11I agree with Greg.
18:13We've talked about defence, but we've never done anything about it.
18:17Yeah, but what do you mean?
18:18Barbed wire, lookouts, armed guards?
18:19Well, I think we'd be stupid if we didn't learn a lesson from those people today.
18:24We're like our chickens this morning.
18:26Going along quite nicely.
18:28Till someone forgets to close the gate, then the fox gets the lot of them.
18:32Are you going in for parables now, Paul?
18:34No, I thought he made rather a neat point.
18:37Only how do we stop being chickens?
18:39Well, look, it's obvious that we can put up no more than a token defence
18:43against any sort of sizeable force against us,
18:45and I think that goes for any other group that's set up in this air.
18:48Yeah.
18:49Well, as far as I can see, there's only one answer to that,
18:51and that is that we all join forces, every little group, into some sort of alliance or federation.
18:55And then in that way, we'll know that if one of us is in trouble,
18:58then at least some of the others will come to our help.
19:00What?
19:01That makes sense to me.
19:02Then why don't we go and meet the other groups?
19:05Why don't we ask them all to send a representative here?
19:08Then we can thrash the whole thing out.
19:10Well, let's stop talking about it and do it.
19:13Let's send out messages, first thing tomorrow.
19:15Right, and if we get an agreement, and there's no reason why we shouldn't,
19:18then any of your foxes thinking of looking us over,
19:21well, they'll think twice before they make a move.
19:23What do you think, Abby?
19:27Yes.
19:28Yes, I think you're right.
19:31Splendid.
19:32Well, let's draft a letter and get copies delivered.
19:35We'll set the date of the meeting at, what, two days from now?
19:38Right, there's no point in delaying. I'll get some paper.
19:40Maps.
19:41I'll get over it.
19:42I'll get over it.
19:43It's a step in the right direction, isn't it?
19:44Yes.
19:45No one can live in isolation.
19:46But I'd like to think it would go beyond forming an army.
19:47One doesn't have to stop, though.
19:48It can lead to almost anything.
19:49At least it's good to know that if we're in trouble, someone's going to come and help us.
19:50Yes.
19:51Eddie, you'd better come.
19:52I think all of you better come.
19:53Please.
19:54I think all of you better come.
19:55Please.
19:57Go ahead.
19:59There it is.
20:00Go ahead.
20:01No one is in the middle of the night, I know.
20:03Malcolm.
20:04Then I'll get you back on the run.
20:05He doesn't have to stop.
20:07Oh, it can lead to everything.
20:08At least it's good to know that if we're in trouble someone's going to come and help us.
20:10Yes.
20:13Eddie, you'd better come.
20:15I think all of you'd better come.
20:17Please.
20:18Oh, dear.
20:21Peter.
20:23Oh, dear.
20:25I might have guessed he'd do this.
20:35She's burning.
20:36But, uh, it's all right.
20:39It's all right.
20:39It's not all right.
20:41She can't stay.
20:43Oh, can't she?
20:45Two minutes ago, you were talking about helping one another,
20:48so we could have people to call on when we were in trouble.
20:50Get out of my way.
20:52Come on, let's get her inside.
20:52I'll prepare the bed.
20:53Okay.
20:55Oh, why don't I say it?
21:00Abby.
21:02Abby.
21:02Not now.
21:03Yes, now.
21:14Can you talk to me like that again and I'll...
21:17You'll what?
21:18Are you out of your mind?
21:19Probably.
21:20Well, what happens when she infects us?
21:22We'll have to find out, won't we?
21:23It's the same go for the children.
21:24Do we have to watch them suffering or watch them die?
21:27You sanctimonious pig.
21:30You think you're the only one with feelings.
21:32So what do we do?
21:33Leave her out here to die?
21:34That's exactly what we do.
21:35You've got to think of everyone, all of us, not just one person.
21:38I'm not saying it's easy, but at least it's survival.
21:40If you can even think of leaving her out here, you're not fit to survive.
21:42Well, that's all talk, Jess.
21:44I mean it.
21:45Well, I mean it too.
21:46Be realistic.
21:47Just put her in her house, make her comfortable and leave her.
21:49All right.
21:50I'll be realistic.
21:52It's too bloody late.
21:55I've already been in contact with her.
21:56So has Emma and so has Charmian.
21:58And now, so have you.
22:03Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
22:33I'll give you some hot milk.
22:34Oh, thank you.
22:35Now, take over for a bit.
22:36You'll get some rest.
22:38How's she been?
22:39Well, she's still very feverish.
22:41Wish we had somebody who knew a bit about medicine.
22:44It's not enough just to know it's not the plague.
22:46I spent half the night going through the home doctor.
22:49But it's hard to isolate the symptoms.
22:51I mean, she could have any one of 50 things wrong with her as far as I can tell.
22:55You know, that's what scares me the most.
22:57Being sick.
22:58I can cope with almost anything else.
23:00But to be ill without any kind of medical help.
23:03That scares me.
23:06You look all in.
23:07Go on, you get to bed.
23:09Take a look at me.
23:10Is Abby down yet?
23:12No, but the others are.
23:13I'll go and tell her everything's all right.
23:15All right.
23:27Abby?
23:27Abby?
23:33I think the best thing would be to start with these two.
23:38And then you can circle back here and take in all the other settlements on the way.
23:41Hmm.
23:41Good idea.
23:42You'll never do it all in a day.
23:44Not on a bike.
23:45Not even if it is the longest day of the year.
23:47Well, if I can't, then I'll bed down for the night here and do the other two on the way back first thing in the morning.
23:55Depends on how much sales check you're in for.
23:57Selling was my business.
23:59I shan't have any trouble.
24:00Well, you might with the lot at Waterhouse.
24:02They were having their own little private war with me over last there.
24:05Look, try and find a chap called Garland.
24:06Jimmy Garland.
24:07Don't worry.
24:11I'll convince them.
24:12I made up enough food to see you through and try to have something hot if you can.
24:16Please, lay some decent soup in this jar.
24:18Thanks, Emma.
24:19Well, that'll do me nicely.
24:23Abby's gone.
24:25What do you mean?
24:27Just that.
24:28She wants to be on her own for a bit.
24:37She wants to be on her own for a bit.
25:07She wants to be on her own for a bit.
25:37Come on.
25:39Why are you always so slow, you two?
25:42I'm not slow.
25:43I've finished already.
25:45John hasn't.
25:46I haven't got such a big mouth.
25:47No, no, no, no.
25:48Don't be rude.
25:49I wasn't being rude.
25:50I haven't got such a big mouth.
25:53And in any case, I sometimes use it for talking.
25:56Sometimes.
25:57I like talking.
25:59I like talking more than I like eating.
26:01Then you know what will happen to you, don't you?
26:04You will never grow bigger than you are now.
26:07But your tongue will grow.
26:09It will grow and grow till it's as long as this.
26:12I don't believe you, because Abby says talking is good for you while you're eating.
26:17It's good for grown-ups, but not for you.
26:20Where is Abby?
26:22She's gone for some peace and quiet.
26:24Aunt Emma, we don't make a lot of noise.
26:27Go back, finish your lunch.
26:33Ah.
26:35Abby?
26:41Abby?
26:53Abby?
26:56Abby?
26:57I need a rod!
27:25Here!
27:27Here I am!
27:41Abby. Hello.
27:43You don't look very surprised to see me.
27:46I was looking for you.
27:48You were easier to find than I thought.
27:57Hey, what's the matter?
28:05Nothing.
28:07I'm just a bit tired, that's all.
28:10Well, I'm not surprised.
28:12One of my men saw you a couple of miles back.
28:14Fast asleep.
28:16Yes, I've been walking since six this morning.
28:18And I'm taking you home.
28:20Get up on Jasper.
28:27Any better?
28:39She's a lot calmer.
28:42I think the fever's passing.
28:46You know, a bit later, we'll try and get her to eat something.
28:51That poor child is nothing but skin and bone.
28:54She's a much better color now, though.
28:56Hmm.
28:58Oh, would you be so kind and sit with her for a bit?
29:01Hmm?
29:02I have to get the meal started.
29:03Of course.
29:04I've got everything ready.
29:05Oh, I should keep out of Greg's way if I were you.
29:08Why?
29:09Oh, he's like a bear with a sore head.
29:11Where is he?
29:12He's cutting logs.
29:13There was no wood for the stove,
29:15so there was a big row about it,
29:16and he went off in a huff muttering,
29:18if you want something done, et cetera, et cetera.
29:20Oh, it's such a pity all this should happen now.
29:22Just when things were getting a bit easier.
29:25Right.
29:26I'll see to Jasper.
29:27You go on in.
29:29Right.
29:30I'll see to Jasper.
29:31You go on in.
29:33Right.
29:34I'll see to Jasper.
29:35You go on in.
29:36I'll see to Jasper.
29:37You go on in.
29:38I'll see to Jasper.
29:39I'll see to Jasper.
29:40I'll see to Jasper.
29:41I'll see to Jasper.
29:42You go on in.
29:45I'll see.
29:46I'll see to Jasper.
29:47I'll see to Jasper.
29:48I'll see to Jasper.
29:49You go on in.
29:50You go on in.
29:51I'll see to Jasper.
29:54I'll see.
29:55I'll see to Jasper.
29:56I'll see to Jasper.
29:57I'll rub him down later.
30:22Is this yours?
30:24Yes.
30:25It belonged to my sister.
30:27Remember this?
30:31Are we okay?
30:33Well, the circumstances may be different, but the brand is the same.
30:38Guaranteed not to upset even the emptier stomach.
30:47How long since you had something to eat?
30:50Last night.
30:52You need looking after.
30:53I'll fix her something.
30:57What do you fancy?
30:59There's rabbit?
31:01I expect you're rather fed up with that.
31:03Venison, but it's a bit high.
31:05What I can offer you is my speciality.
31:08Oxtail with haricot beans.
31:09Oh, it sounds delicious.
31:12What chance is there of some hot water?
31:14Pretty good.
31:15A bit limited, though, if you're thinking of a bath.
31:17No, just a bowl full.
31:19Easy.
31:21Easier than the cave?
31:23Much.
31:23You know, you're not being really fair.
31:33How do you mean?
31:36Well, I've told you about everything that's happened to me.
31:39But you've told me nothing about yourself.
31:41You want to know the reason?
31:44Of course.
31:46I'm more interested in you.
31:50Well, what about the cave?
31:52What brought you here?
31:53My little war came to an end.
31:56Oh, you sound disappointed.
31:58Oh, no.
32:00No, there's more for me to do now that Knox has gone.
32:03Well, what happened?
32:05He died.
32:06Oh.
32:10No, I didn't kill him.
32:12He was out on one of his hunting trips after me,
32:14and he broke his neck.
32:16And it wasn't long after that
32:17before the rest of them came to me for help.
32:20So you've got what you always wanted?
32:24Yes.
32:25Most of it.
32:28Well, why are you here and not at the house?
32:31There are times when I need to be alone.
32:33Yes.
32:38I come here to think,
32:41read a bit,
32:43just to be alone.
32:48I'll get you that water.
32:49I'll get you that water.
33:03You all right?
33:23Sarah used this room.
33:25There's a change of clothes over there,
33:27if you feel like.
33:33Don't worry.
33:41They'll manage without you.
33:45Don't go.
33:51Please.
34:03Oh, it's no good.
34:13Wound this.
34:14I should have some stitches.
34:16Well, do you know how to do it?
34:17No.
34:18Well, there's anybody.
34:20Paul?
34:21No, but I'll have a go.
34:22I can do without that.
34:24If you don't know what they're doing,
34:25there's a risk of infection.
34:27Look, if you can just stop the bleeding
34:28and just keep it clean,
34:29it'll be all right.
34:31Oh, it's no good.
34:33I think the vein inside the wrist is cut.
34:35We'll have to do a tourniquet.
34:37Emma, can you keep your thumb pressed here?
34:40Yes.
34:45Oh, dear.
34:47What's happened?
34:50Gashed his wrist with a saw.
34:53Is it bad?
34:56Yes.
34:57You're not putting on a tourniquet.
34:58We must stop the bleeding.
35:00Yes, but gangrene will set in.
35:01Yes, well, only if it's kept on.
35:03If it can just slow the bleeding down,
35:05it might clot.
35:06It may do, but it ought to have stitches.
35:08Well, do you know what to use or how to clean it?
35:11No.
35:11Well, shut up.
35:12Greg.
35:13I'm sorry, Charmaine.
35:15No, it's my fault.
35:16I'm sorry.
35:17How's the other patient?
35:19Well, she's awake.
35:20She seems much better.
35:21She's been sitting up and talking.
35:23In fact, that's the reason.
35:24I came down here to see if there was something for her to eat.
35:26Yes, there is some soap in the kitchen, but we'll have to heat it up.
35:29All right.
35:30Now, look.
35:30Thanks.
35:30Thanks for some things.
35:36There.
35:37Now, how's that feel?
35:39Oh, tight.
35:40Good.
35:41Thanks.
35:42I'll change this dressing later.
35:44Well, there's that.
35:45With you out of action, Arthur off playing postman and Abby gone,
35:50I'll have to do some work.
35:51Where's Vic?
35:52With the children.
35:53Well, we'll have to work something out.
35:56Children are going to have to do more work.
36:23What was he like?
36:26My husband.
36:28Yes.
36:33You've got me to a slight disadvantage, haven't you?
36:37I'm sorry.
36:41I loved him.
36:43Yes.
36:45I just wish I could forget him.
36:47But I can't.
36:48All the life that we had together.
36:54I miss it like that.
36:56I'm sure you do.
36:59I think that's the trouble, really.
37:02I suddenly realised...
37:05...that whatever we do...
37:07...however hard we work, there's no going back.
37:11What we've got now is what we're going to have for the rest of our lifetimes.
37:20Well, you won't hear me complaining.
37:24No.
37:29The world's a marvellous place.
37:30It always was.
37:33It was the people that turned it sour.
37:34We could help to sweeten it.
37:40I thought I was.
37:46Stay with me.
37:50I want to.
37:55Which means he won't.
37:57I don't know.
37:58What about your son?
38:04What about Peter?
38:08I'd given up.
38:10Why?
38:12The others seem more important.
38:15And they...
38:16...they took you over?
38:17No.
38:20It's just that I don't know if Peter's alive.
38:23And my people are.
38:24But you don't know that he's dead.
38:26And there are the children.
38:30Stay with me.
38:31And we'll look for Peter together.
38:33If he's alive...
38:34...we'll find him.
38:38Do you mean that?
38:40I know how to face facts.
38:44We must be what we are.
38:47Do what we must do.
38:51Otherwise we don't contribute.
38:54Contribute?
38:55To life.
38:56To being alive.
39:02Stay.
39:03Well, what about what you've got here?
39:16Your settlement.
39:17They can do without me.
39:19Just as your people can do without you.
39:20All that's indispensable is what we've got.
39:27You and me.
39:36Do you know what I'd like most of all in the whole wide world?
39:40Well, I'd like to do with you.
39:40Do you know what I'd like to do?
39:40Well, I'd like to do with you.
39:41Try me.
39:43A dirty great helping of oxtail and beans.
39:46Hey, look! It's Mr. Russell!
40:10Oh, I'm so glad. He's all right.
40:20Danny!
40:22Have you been all around? Yes. What was the reaction?
40:28Good, very good. They're all sending someone. Garland wasn't there, but they're getting a message to him.
40:34I think that's wonderful. You see, just to meet other people, not to be on our own anymore, that would be a big step.
40:43They're all as keen as we are. They were all worried about what would happen if they were attacked.
40:48You'll never believe this, John. There's one group that's got a tank. A ruddy, grey tank.
40:52Does it work? Do all the guns fire? Oh, Johnny.
40:54Yes, they fire. They've got plenty of ammunition. I tell you, I'd rather have them on our side if we ran into any trouble.
40:59Not the other way around. They use you to make trouble.
41:02Oh, they won't. There's only eight of them. Am I arriving on my own scared them half to death?
41:07Emma, I'm starving. Is there anything to eat?
41:10Of course, that is for you. Always.
41:29What?
41:32Noisy idiot. He woke you.
41:47Morning.
41:48Morning.
41:51Noisy?
41:56Letter. From your case.
42:01Yes.
42:02You knew about it.
42:06I would've delivered it myself.
42:08I didn't want them to know I was here.
42:14Here you go.
42:16Yes.
42:18Yes I think it's a good idea.
42:20A federation.
42:22It would work.
42:27Aren't you going to help me find Peter?
42:30Now don't play games Abby.
42:33We can form defences and find Peter.
42:37Are you going to come with me to the meeting?
42:41If you want me to.
42:44I'd rather you stayed here.
42:47It's for lunchtime today isn't it?
42:54In that case let's not waste any time.
43:04Hello Greg. How's your wrist?
43:06Numb. What about the girl?
43:08Her name's Ruth and she's much much better. Come and meet her.
43:14Hello Ruth. This is Greg Preston.
43:16Hello Ruth. How are you feeling?
43:18Much better. Thank you for taking me in.
43:21Don't thank me. I was all for throwing you out.
43:23Greg.
43:24But you were quite right. You've got children here haven't you?
43:27I might have been infectious. Contagious.
43:31I still could be.
43:33But you took me in and I'm very grateful.
43:35No it's the least we could do.
43:37Have you any soap?
43:39Yes.
43:40Then keep me isolated for say about a week.
43:43And then wash your hands thoroughly every time you come in here.
43:46You sound just like a doctor.
43:48Dear sorry.
43:49Would you like something to eat?
43:51I'd prefer something to drink.
43:53Okay I'll get you something. Greg I'll sit with you for a while.
44:01Where are you from?
44:02Harris.
44:04What's wrong with your arm?
44:05Oh well it's my wrist. I gashed it with a sore.
44:08When?
44:09Yesterday.
44:10Is that a tourniquet?
44:11Uh huh.
44:12Is the cup that bad?
44:13Oh sure.
44:14Don't uncover it. Call Jenny back.
44:15But look it's silliest.
44:16Please call Jenny back.
44:17Jenny?
44:18Yes?
44:19Can you come back a second?
44:20Can you feel your fingers?
44:21What?
44:22Sorry I mean have you any feeling in them at all?
44:23Oh like hell.
44:24But when I loosen this it's...
44:25Oh good you do loosen it.
44:26And when you do do you get any bleeding?
44:27Yes but I don't...
44:28Yes but that arm's got to be attended to.
44:30You are a doctor.
44:31No.
44:32Well I'm not qualified.
44:33I don't know.
44:34I don't know.
44:35I don't know.
44:36I don't know.
44:37I don't know.
44:38I don't know.
44:39I don't know.
44:40I don't know.
44:41I don't know.
44:42I don't know.
44:43I don't know.
44:44I don't know.
44:45Well I'm not qualified.
44:47I finished my third year.
44:48Oh.
44:49I can't do anything.
44:50It's too risky.
44:51You'll have to do it for me.
44:53But I'll tell you what to do all right?
44:55Yes I suppose so.
44:57Now have you a needle and thread?
44:59Yes.
45:15I felt sure they'd come.
45:18One of them at least.
45:20Give them time.
45:22Well.
45:23If they were coming they'd be here by now.
45:26Oh well.
45:27I suppose I'd better get on with something.
45:33I was in Reading when it all happened.
45:34At the training hospital.
45:36I left with a doctor and a nurse and we went up the river in a cruiser.
45:40On the second day the doctor got ill and we couldn't save him.
45:44After that we just went up and down the river looking for people.
45:47And is that what you were doing when they found you?
45:49No.
45:50I was on my way to Sarencester looking for some sulfonamide drugs.
45:53I don't really remember much about it.
45:55One moment I was on a bike and then I was here.
45:58Well that's all right isn't it?
46:00Yes it's fine.
46:01What happened to the nurse?
46:04Peggy oh she's still there.
46:06Where?
46:07Oh I'm sorry I'm still a bit muzzy.
46:09Um Kempsford.
46:10You see we found some people living on a barge.
46:13We stayed with them three months until some of them got food poisoning.
46:16That's when I went for the drugs.
46:18How long have I been ill?
46:20Well I'd say it's about a week since you were found.
46:22Well we'd be too late now.
46:24How many were on the barge?
46:25Seven of us.
46:26Two women, three men and two young boys.
46:28What were their names?
46:30Ted Glover.
46:31George Bronson I think it was.
46:33He was a schoolmaster.
46:34Deaf.
46:35Peggy Marshall.
46:36Joe.
46:37Just a minute.
46:38What were the boys names?
46:39What were Christian names?
46:41Stuart.
46:42Stuart Kirby.
46:44Peter.
46:45Peter.
46:46Peter Clark.
46:47Sorry?
46:48Clark I think it was.
46:49You sure?
46:50You sure it's not Grant?
46:51Peter Grant?
46:52Yes that's it.
46:53Do you know him?
46:55No.
46:56But we know somebody who does.
46:58His mother.
46:59Oh God.
47:00How amazing.
47:01Was he well when you left?
47:04Peter yes, he was very well.
47:06Why did she have to run away now?
47:10Arthur!
47:11The first people are on their way!
47:16Oh mums.
47:17I'll go tell the rest.
47:18Yeah.
47:19I want you to say goodbye now.
47:23You're staying?
47:24Yes.
47:25There never was really much doubt was there?
47:30I'm sorry.
47:31Well I haven't the slightest intention of saying goodbye.
47:37You know where to come to now?
47:38She can bring you.
47:39She can bring you.
47:40Come on.
47:41Come on.
47:42Come on.
47:43Come on.

48:48What? What would you like to hear most? Come inside. Come on.
49:18Good night.
49:20Good night.
