00:00THE END
00:30Oh, no!
00:56Ah, Greg, for the good sake!
00:58Greg! Greg!
01:01Greg!
01:23This way! Quick!
01:25Through the doors!
01:28Come on!
01:41How are you?
01:42Wally's the name. You all right?
01:44Oh, I am.
01:45Charles?
01:46No. They've got me in a lake.
01:47It's bright lights and noise that keeps them off.
01:52Is it bad?
01:53I don't know.
01:54They're such filthy things.
01:56It's more revulsive than anything else.
01:57I want to get to the centre.
01:59Get it attended to.
02:00The centre?
02:01Get it looked at how you've had it.
02:02It'll go rotten as soon as blink.
02:05Come on.
02:07This way.
02:09Where's the centre?
02:10The oval.
02:11I'll take you.
02:12Kenny?
02:13Yeah.
02:14That's right.
02:16That big's up.
02:18I'll tuck your trousers in.
02:19The rats get everywhere.
02:23Where are you from?
02:25West country.
02:26You must be out of your minds.
02:29What are you doing here?
02:30We're looking for someone.
02:32A girl called Ruth.
02:33We have directions.
02:39She was brought here by an Indian chap and a woman with blonde hair.
02:43About five days ago.
02:44Yes, that's right.
02:45Have you seen her?
02:46Sure.
02:47I see everything.
02:48All are coming and going.
02:51Hey, she's a doctor.
02:52That's right.
02:53Look.
02:55How far is it?
02:56Is her leg all right?
02:57Yeah, I think so.
02:58Let's just get there.
02:59It's quite a way.
03:01What?
03:02Along the tracks?
03:03Yeah.
03:04You can't move in the streets, what with everything.
03:06And even if you could, there's the rats.
03:18This doctor.
03:20Is he a friend of yours?
03:21Yes.
03:22You put in a word for me, will you?
03:26Why?
03:27What for?
03:29We don't see eye to eye.
03:32And what with her being a doctor and you having a bit of influence like...
03:36They might listen to you.
03:45How are you feeling?
03:49Who are they?
03:51You'll find out, mate.
03:53How many of you are there?
03:55There was 500 of them.
03:57And one of me.
04:05I'm not suggesting we rush things, but we can make a start.
04:08She's only been here a week.
04:09She isn't concerned with the preliminaries.
04:10Well, not in your department, perhaps.
04:12But the medicines and drugs have got to be catalogued.
04:15You're right back in form, aren't you, Doc?
04:17Many.
04:18It's a lengthy job.
04:19The sooner we get started, the better.
04:20You think I don't know that?
04:22Barbara's only back in circulation because of me.
04:25Am I aware of thinking the ball's in her court?
04:27No, it's in yours.
04:28Mine?
04:29But you do the planning.
04:31You make the decisions.
04:33Oh.
04:34I do my modest best.
04:35Well, we've got to decide on transportation.
04:38The present situation...
04:39Well, that means petrol or diesel oil.
04:41Well, how much we got?
04:43If we're going by rail, it'll have to be diesel.
04:45Clever girl, are you, Barbara?
04:47Oh.
05:09The smell of being released...
05:11There'll be a cloud that had passed.
05:12you can't take any vaccine.
05:13There we go.
05:27Or cells haven't passed, but it's all flew away.
05:30You're going to work on transportation.
05:32And the rest of our current,
05:35We will be şimdi.
05:36Now keep it in the light.
05:55We're going to cross the road.
05:56Who?
06:06You're joking.
06:08Right, I'll let him in.
06:15What are you doing here?
06:17You brought these two men.
06:18Who are you?
06:19They're friends of the doctor.
06:20The woman doctor.
06:21Who said so?
06:22They did.
06:23Oh, did they?
06:24I can't vouch for them.
06:27Wally?
06:28You shouldn't be here.
06:31You are in big trouble.
06:32I had to show them the way.
06:35All right.
06:36Give me your gun.
06:38You can't take them any further
06:40until you give me your gun.
06:47Out.
06:48What?
06:49Out, Wally.
06:50Quick!
06:50Hey!
06:53You're the one who came to White Cross.
06:55Yes, I'm sorry about it.
06:57Now, where's Ruth?
06:58She'll be in her surgery, sir.
07:00I don't want a fair hearing.
07:01I'll get it.
07:01I'm off.
07:02Get back across the road
07:04before we turn the lights off, Wally.
07:08What's he done?
07:09He's a lot of trouble, that boy.
07:11He can't come in.
07:12We've decided.
07:13What kind of trouble?
07:16Just trouble.
07:17He's been put out to cool.
07:19Yeah, well, he just saved us
07:20from the rats back there.
07:21It is not my decision.
07:23Yeah, well, who's?
07:24So, you must be great.
07:26And you're Charles.
07:28Heard a lot about you.
07:29My name's Manny.
07:30He's the boss.
07:31Welcome to town.
07:33Well, where's Ruth?
07:34With no surgery, I suppose.
07:36Oh, you remember Penny.
07:37Oh, I expect they do.
07:39Ruth tells me that you're an architect.
07:41Yes, I was.
07:42And you're an engineer.
07:44That's right.
07:45Well, that's great.
07:46Great!
07:47We're sort of talent.
07:48Yeah, well, you still are.
07:50Just as soon as Charles' legs fixed up,
07:51we're getting out of here.
07:53And we're taking Ruth with us.
07:55What's wrong with his legs?
07:57Rat bites.
07:58Amal, get him to surgery.
07:59Don't waste any time.
08:00Certainly.
08:02Oh, gentlemen.
08:04If you don't mind,
08:05we don't carry guns here.
08:07Amal will take them to the armory.
08:09This way, please.
08:10I don't like it, Manny.
08:17No.
08:19I think we might be in for a bit of trouble.
08:23The sooner we get back, the better.
08:25Don't rush me.
08:27How's it feel?
08:27It hurts.
08:29I'm well equipped.
08:30Got to say that for him.
08:31I suppose I've been expecting you.
08:34You should have had more sense.
08:36Ruth.
08:36You all right?
08:38Yes.
08:39I'll leave you now.
08:42What have you been up to, then?
08:44Uh, slight altercation with a pack of rats.
08:47Well, take your trousers off and jump up here.
08:51I won't pretend that I'm not glad to see you,
08:53but you were nuts to come after me.
08:55What do you expect us to do?
08:56The vote was unanimous.
08:57Don't think I'm not grateful.
08:59It's just that it may be some time
09:01before you get out of here again.
09:02Oh, we're all getting out of here
09:03just as soon as you finish with Charles.
09:05It's not as easy as you think.
09:07You mean the rats?
09:09Oh, we've learned to cope with those the hard way.
09:17At least these are nasty.
09:21Rats are only part of the story.
09:25There's a sickness here
09:26that's just not in the textbooks,
09:28which makes it very dangerous
09:29for anyone to move away from this hospital.
09:32They call it the London Sickness,
09:35and that's what's keeping people here.
09:36You mean that's what keeps you here?
09:40Ruth?
09:42Ruth, you're our hospital.
09:45I know there aren't many of us,
09:46but we need a doctor too.
09:47Roll up your sleeve, anti-tetanus.
09:51There are 500 people here.
09:55500 people with a sickness rate of 10%.
09:57Don't moan.
10:00Look, just a minute.
10:01There's already a doctor here.
10:03I mean, the chap that brought us,
10:04Wally, he said there was one.
10:05Yes, that's true.
10:07So what you're really saying
10:08is that you want to stay?
10:09I have no choice.
10:11Oh, come on.
10:11You're not a prisoner.
10:12I have to stay for the big move.
10:14The what?
10:15Manny's plan is to move us all
10:17to the Isle of Wight.
10:18Oh, great.
10:19And when's that going to happen?
10:20It'll have to be done in stages
10:21to get the amenities and the agriculture going,
10:23but it can't be done
10:24unless we have a doctor
10:24and a hospital at either end.
10:26Yes, but when?
10:28As soon as it can be organised.
10:29Well, weeks, months, years.
10:30I don't know.
10:31Well, it'll have to be years
10:31if it's a question of working the land.
10:33It'll have to be sooner than that.
10:34I don't see how it can be
10:35unless a start's already been made,
10:36and has it?
10:37No.
10:37Look, I'm not interested in any London sickness.
10:39Greg, listen.
10:40Big move to the Isle of Wight.
10:42There was a radio engineer here
10:43who died five days ago.
10:45For 14 months,
10:46he's been sending messages out
10:47all over the world.
10:48Now, the only voice he picked up
10:50was from Cairo.
10:51There are 12 people there.
10:5312.
10:55Here in London,
10:56there are 500 at the moment.
10:59It's been worked out,
11:00the doctor has worked out,
11:01that with less than 500 people,
11:03the human species becomes extinct.
11:05It won't take very long.
11:07The 500 people here in London
11:09is the lowest limit.
11:10That's anybody's guess.
11:12It's been worked out.
11:14Now you know why I was brought here
11:16and why I can't leave.
11:17I was told your friends were here.
11:19This is the doctor,
11:20Regan Charles.
11:21In the circumstances,
11:22I won't say,
11:23welcome to London.
11:26Forgive my not being here.
11:27You're in good hands.
11:28Yes, I know.
11:29I feel I've had more sleep
11:31this past week
11:31than in a year.
11:32We came to take her back.
11:35Yes, of course.
11:36Has Ruth explained the situation?
11:45Yes.
11:46Then you'll understand
11:47why we need her here.
11:50And you, too.
11:53I'll take my own time.
11:55All right, well.
11:56What's going to happen?
11:57I don't know.
11:58I don't think it's an exclusion.
12:03Oh, really?
12:07Go in.
12:08Go in, Wally.
12:09Okay.
12:09Yeah, sure, I understand that.
12:11Right, now,
12:12how are we off for potatoes?
12:15No, we've got masses, then.
12:16Oh, love, don't tell me we've got masses.
12:18How much?
12:19Well, we've got about
12:19480 sacks in store
12:21and we should have
12:21another 250-odd
12:23in a couple of months.
12:24Oh, that's great.
12:26Right, now,
12:26let's get on to the tin stuff.
12:28Beans?
12:29Yeah, we've got 60 cases.
12:32Permission to sit?
12:34Granted.
12:34I'll cut it out.
12:36I'll say this for you, Wally.
12:38You're a brave man.
12:40Okay, George, done.
12:42Give us something to eat.
12:43The prisoner ate a hearty meal, sir.
12:45Who's the prisoner?
12:46Oh, come on, Wally.
12:47Let's have a little chat.
12:48I mean, let's try and get somewhere.
12:50Yeah, look,
12:50why won't you be reasonable, Wally?
12:52That's all we want.
12:53Nobody wants trouble.
12:54Hello, Doc.
12:54We're ready for you.
12:55How's your mate, Greg?
12:57Oh, he's been locked up.
12:59Hello, Wally.
13:00You well?
13:01I'm still alive.
13:02Good.
13:03Is this a court?
13:04Oh, no.
13:05It's all informal.
13:06Oh, well, that's something.
13:07Greg, do you know this chap, Wally?
13:09Yeah, well, he brought us here.
13:10I saved his life.
13:12That so?
13:12Yeah.
13:13What's he done?
13:14My face doesn't fit.
13:16Oh, come on, Wally.
13:17That's just not true.
13:18All right, all right, all right.
13:19Greg, I'll fill you in a detail or two.
13:22Wally here, nice lad, survivor, like you and me.
13:24So what does he do while we all try and keep going?
13:26Can I say something?
13:27When have I had my say, Wally boy?
13:29I didn't come through all this to live in a fascist state.
13:32Oh, Wally, how old are you?
13:3424, 25?
13:35What do you know about fascist states?
13:36I've been around long enough to know which way things are going here.
13:39Greg, listen.
13:41Everything here is discussed, then agreed.
13:43But that's never been good enough for him.
13:45He's got to go his own way.
13:47So there's always bother.
13:48Things that should get done don't get done.
13:50Yeah, that's the trouble.
13:51So we had a big democratic election, him or me.
13:54And what do you think?
13:56It was damn near 500 for me, five for him.
13:59So we asked him to behave.
14:01And what did you say?
14:02Not under fascism.
14:04Not under fascism.
14:05So we told him he could make all the decisions he wanted to.
14:10On his own, out there in the country.
14:12But you didn't go.
14:13You know I can't live out there.
14:15People do.
14:15Not from London.
14:17Wally, you want to come back in again, don't you?
14:21Well?
14:22Yeah.
14:24Greg, would you trust him?
14:25With what?
14:26We need a messenger to go back to Greg's settlement and tell them what's happened.
14:30Now, if you're given directions and you're sensible and keep away from anyone out there,
14:34you can do an important job, Wally.
14:36I've said that I'd rather go myself.
14:38I know, Greg.
14:39Yeah, we all know.
14:40But we need you here.
14:40You're an expert.
14:42I see.
14:43I get it.
14:45Dangerous mission.
14:46If anything happens, like getting sick, you won't miss me, but you'll miss him.
14:50Right?
14:51If you want to put it that way, Wally, right.
14:54If I do go and I get back alive, will you let me in?
15:01Yeah.
15:02Yeah, it'll prove you're behaving yourself, won't it?
15:04Will he let me in?
15:04No, you wouldn't.
15:06I give you my word.
15:11I'll go if he lets me in.
15:15He will.
15:18I want to hear it from him.
15:24A man, he keeps a nice hotel.
15:26The cook came from the Dorchester.
15:28He's a waiter, but he had ambitions.
15:31Well, there are one or two compensations.
15:34You still think I'm mad?
15:37No.
15:37Not exactly raving.
15:39A trifle gullible, perhaps.
15:41Look, if the doctor says it takes 500 people to maintain our species,
15:46then I'm not going to argue with him.
15:47But what I do disagree with is the fact that we seem to be caught in a situation that has no options.
15:51Look, why is there no panic about the disease catching up with medicine?
15:55Don't do people here know about it?
15:56They don't want to know.
15:58So they put all their faith in the hospital.
16:01It's a dicey business.
16:02They could panic.
16:04That's why it's important to have strong leadership.
16:06Like Manny?
16:07No, the doctor.
16:09I've been through all this before.
16:12I'm not interested in saving the human species.
16:14I want to save my family and my friends.
16:17What happens when your baby grows up and has children?
16:18Oh, I don't know.
16:21But there'll be something.
16:22Rather the doctor's point, isn't it?
16:26How long ago did Abby leave?
16:28Six, seven weeks.
16:31And she didn't make it.
16:33Would she have come back to us?
16:34Not necessarily.
16:35She didn't say where she was going.
16:37No, she'd have come back.
16:40We'll give you this dose to see you on your way.
16:43Take a capsule every four hours and you'll be back tomorrow.
16:45I've given you two days' worth.
16:48But you'll not be needing it, will you, son?
16:50Not if I get back.
16:51You see and get back.
16:55So, capsules, soap,
16:59and don't forget to boil any water you drink.
17:04All right.
17:05I'm not stupid.
17:06I don't think you're stupid, son,
17:08but we don't want to lose you.
17:10He does.
17:13No, he doesn't.
17:15You're a great nuisance, son,
17:16but that's no reason to condemn you to death.
17:19Is it, dear Emmanuel?
17:21Now, away you go
17:22and get your instructions from these folk
17:24and see me tomorrow as soon as you get back
17:26and we'll all be friends.
17:27If I get back tomorrow night,
17:33will you let me back in?
17:36Sure.
17:42The idea might have been to send him off
17:44with a wee bit confidence.
17:45Why?
17:46I don't want to see him again.
17:48But you'll let him in if he does get back.
17:50I'll think about it.
17:51He's one of the 500, Manny.
17:54He's not just trouble, Nessie.
17:55He's dangerous.
17:56Oh, he's had a bad week down there.
17:58Give him a chance
17:59and stop the Napoleon Act.
18:03Napoleon?
18:04You're more hungry for power than I am.
18:06And you know it.
18:07Manny,
18:08God forbid you should ever fall ill, Manny.
18:17Are you sure you're all right?
18:19Yeah.
18:20I'll see you tonight.
18:26122 male, 144 female fit and well.
18:4689 children under 15, 69 old people, 51 invalids.
18:51So, um, one hospital train,
18:54one train for everybody else who's fit
18:55and one for the gear.
18:56That's better than, say, um, how many?
18:5850 buses?
18:59Buses and lorries, yes.
19:01Greg Preston's looking to see if there's a way through to the M3.
19:03Jim Foster and Ken Willis can drive bulldozers.
19:06Otherwise, it's Clapham Junction.
19:08And Charles Vaughan is doing a rail survey.
19:10Right, now...
19:10Let me finish.
19:11The real problem is the advance party.
19:14It always was.
19:15Well, they must have fast access back here to the hospital
19:17if anything should go wrong.
19:18So?
19:19Well, do we establish our first aid post at Sunbury?
19:23No, we couldn't start it.
19:25And we need to make a fast clear way
19:27from here to, say, a ride or cows.
19:30Have we anyone who can pilot a hovercraft?
19:34Tony Maxwell.
19:35And Greg, he could have a go.
19:37You weren't sure of him.
19:38Well, if he comes back and makes sense.
19:40Could he take a party down, about 40?
19:43No way.
19:44He goes ahead of the advance party.
19:46Ahead?
19:47Yeah, to have a go at the rats.
19:50Remember that stuff we used on the rats in the old days?
19:52Oh, you mean yellow phosphorus, red squill.
19:54Yeah, well, Benji's come up with some.
19:57He found a load of it in a warehouse down Wandsworth Way.
19:59Now, what I thought was,
20:00we put Greg in a truck or a lorry with a couple of other lads,
20:03and Wally, for instance,
20:05loaded up with a red squill,
20:07Operation Rat, the Isle of Wight.
20:09Here we come.
20:10Then we send in the advance party.
20:14Yes, yes, he is.
20:15Do you want...
20:17All right, I'll tell him.
20:19An emergency.
20:21Right.
20:21That side street down there, on the pavement.
20:40Coaches won't go on pavement.
20:44Take a bulldozer all day just to clear this little lock.
20:47Hello, Santa, over.
20:58Hello, Santa, are you there?
21:07Hello, Santa, you lazy slob.
21:10Wake up.
21:11Hello, Santa, you lazy slob.
21:14Wake up.
21:16Hello.
21:16Yeah.
21:18Hello, Penny.
21:19We are turning back now.
21:21We're going to try for...
21:23Where?
21:24Across to Kingston.
21:25Across to Kingston.
21:26No, don't do that.
21:29The railways are checking out, okay?
21:31So you come back home.
21:33Over.
21:35Okay.
21:36I'll just turn this thing off, then.
21:39Oh.
21:40She found it.
21:54If we only knew when it's all going to end.
21:57Oh, come on.
21:59Things aren't nearly as bad now as when I arrived.
22:02And there haven't been any new cases of the sickness.
22:04I know.
22:05But how well do you know your epidemiology?
22:08Not very well.
22:09Well, epidemics were my business, really.
22:13I want to keep up morale, Ruth.
22:15But you and I, we've got to face facts.
22:19There's no ignoring this.
22:22All right, so we've had no new cases for a week.
22:25But we mustn't let it delay the move.
22:27What we've got to do is...
22:29Ruth.
22:34Ruth, help me.
22:39Missy!
22:41So how far did you get, Charles?
22:43Nearly to Woking.
22:44Now, the line looks sound enough.
22:47It could be clear all the way to Southampton.
22:49So all we have to do is to open up a path between here and Clapham Junction.
22:52Well, you've got the bulldozers.
22:53Could be difficult.
22:54Tony says the storage tank's right down.
22:56So this oil train's the last.
22:58Yeah, well, tomorrow I'll look for another storage tank.
23:00Down river, I suppose.
23:02Well, it's encouraging there have been no more cases of London sickness in a week.
23:05Yeah, great, great.
23:07Hey, where's Ruth?
23:08Come to that.
23:09Where's all the medicals?
23:10But you still want to get out of London by the summer?
23:12Well, I thought that was the idea.
23:16It's got to be done properly, Greg.
23:18It needs planning.
23:19Careful planning.
23:19Right, Barbara?
23:20Yes.
23:21Yeah, well, I happen to be in a hurry.
23:22Are you?
23:23Me too.
23:24And Ruth.
23:25If Greg's to proceed the advance party, I...
23:27If I'm...
23:28What?
23:28All in good time, Greg, boy.
23:30All in good time.
23:30Wait a minute.
23:31Let's hear it.
23:33The sooner the rap problem is settled, the better.
23:35We're not hampered by having to establish lines of communication.
23:38Right.
23:38They just get in there with the old red squill.
23:41Hey, that should be right up your street, Greg.
23:43What are you talking about?
23:45How long is it?
23:45Do you want to see?
23:46Yes.
23:46Yes.
23:47In you go.
23:50Did you make it?
23:51Sure.
23:51And they were all right?
23:52Yeah.
23:52Great place you got there.
23:54And you kept your distance?
23:55Yeah.
23:55I told him he'd be staying here for a while, and that's fine.
23:58They're coping all right.
23:59Come on, come on.
24:00Let's all hear it.
24:04They wanted to give me things for you, but I said better not.
24:06You're all quite right.
24:08I said better not.
24:10A pet says, stay away from the girls.
24:13Me?
24:15And Jenny says the baby's fine.
24:19And this guy, Hubert, said to tell Ruth that he cured Daisy's saw tits by rubbing them
24:24with Ruth's carbolic.
24:25What?
24:27Oh, Daisy's one of our cows.
24:31Oh, come on.
24:32Let's have some supper.
24:33Well, I'm very grateful to you.
24:35Yeah, thanks.
24:36All right.
24:37Well, it's up to you now, son.
24:40Go and clean up.
24:44And come back for the leftovers.
24:46Wally.
24:48Duh.
24:52What's he trying to say?
24:55You've known him longer than I have.
24:57I don't know.
24:58I don't know.
25:00The man had a dream and I was part of it.
25:03But I don't claim to know him.
25:04Not well.
25:06You're the doctor.
25:07No.
25:08Yes, Ruth.
25:08Yes.
25:09He's dying.
25:11What's he trying to say?
25:12What's he trying to say?
25:12What's he trying to say?
25:13What's he trying to say?
25:15He's gone.

26:10the Doc's gone
26:12he died a few minutes ago
26:15now this is a great loss
26:17the Doc was a great man
26:18he was a man of courage, vision
26:21and foresight
26:22he had vision to see that he couldn't go on
26:25much longer working so hard for us
26:27the way that he did
26:28so what did this great man do
26:31he found a replacement doctor for us
26:34from now on
26:35his place will be taken by Dr. Roof
26:37hope it won't be long
26:39before we all get the chance to meet her
26:41but
26:41but don't get me wrong
26:43not as patients
26:44when you do meet her
26:46you'll see for yourself
26:48that she's determined to carry on
26:50the old Doc's work
26:51so that
26:52in time

28:38well I've got work to do
28:46goodnight
28:47goodnight
28:49nothing's changed Nessie
28:52the doc always said it was a two or three year job
28:55luckily he didn't
28:56there's only one thing that's not changed
29:00and that's you Emmanuel
29:00you don't want to move
29:02you never did
29:03big frog in a wee pond
29:05that's you
29:05I don't know why I put up with you
29:06perhaps because you know I'm indispensable
29:08look we'll make the move as soon as it's feasible
29:11all right
29:12as soon as everything's properly planned
29:14then we'll do it
29:16you're savoring
29:17what we can do now
29:18the first thing is to send a couple of lads on
29:20with that red squirrel Benji found
29:21Greg and Charles
29:22they're itching to get home
29:23give them something positive to do
29:25keep them out of mischief
29:26Ruth and I can make the move
29:28I thought we needed a doctor at either end
29:30not really
29:30well then why didn't you say so before
29:32there was always you and the doc
29:34he was too old and too tired
29:36yeah well you're no chicken
29:38I'll see you out
29:39no I can't take a chance
29:42hevers
29:44look
29:45you watch it Nessie
29:47with Ruth training a couple of kids
29:50the time's not far off
29:52when you won't be all that indispensable
29:53so you watch it Mother McCree
29:55we're back where we were in a year's time
30:01a year
30:02year and a half time
30:03two and a half years time
30:04but we'll do it properly
30:05and how long is that going to give Ruth
30:08working under the same pressure as the doctor
30:10come on Greg she's a strong girl
30:12yeah well wasn't the doc a strong man
30:13he had a year of it
30:15the first year
30:16all the load of it
30:17and we had a bad time
30:18and in two and a half years time
30:20what's the population going to be then
30:21up
30:22there's 14 babies on the way that we know of
30:2415
30:2515
30:27you know Manny
30:28for a so-called democratic man
30:30you're really wedded to your own opinions
30:32oh come on Penny
30:33you tell him
30:34look Greg Manny's always been open to persuasion
30:36that's why he and the doctor got on so well
30:39well I say we'd be stupid
30:40not to get out of London
30:41just as soon as we can
30:43you just want to get home
30:43well of course I do
30:44well the folk here don't want to leave London
30:46not to go off into the wilds
30:48they want it all set up properly
30:49they want a good life out there
30:50they need more medical attention than Ruth can give them
30:53well do you agree
30:55well yeah
30:56yeah I suppose so in a way
30:57well he won't agree till she drops dead
30:59what do you take me for
31:01oh come in Wally
31:03come and sit down and pile in
31:04I hope that little trip of yours has given you an appetite
31:07Greg is right off his grub
31:09look Charles worked it out
31:11that the survival rate after the death was about one in 5,000
31:14yeah well that's what Barbara reckons to
31:16okay well if that's right
31:17there ought to be another five or six doctors somewhere
31:19yeah well so
31:20well why don't you try and find one of them
31:22why don't you send out Wally say
31:24and a couple of others with him
31:26I'll give them fuel, fuel, medical supplies
31:28but just send them out and see if they can find one
31:30that's why we came to your farm Greg
31:32for the same reasons you're suggesting now
31:34Wally and who else
31:36you for instance
31:37yes if you like
31:38yeah well
31:40well I got something more immediate planned for you two
31:42but
31:43but sure sure we can talk about it
31:45oh good
31:45well that's a start
31:46we've got to clear that way to clap
31:47well can't we do the two things at the same time
31:50yeah sure sure
31:51if
31:51when I've thought about it
31:53it still seems like a good idea
31:54well money's thought about it
31:57you watch it Wally
31:58look Greg
32:03you know as well as I do
32:04there's got to be one chain of command here
32:06yeah I know
32:07I'm at the top
32:08yeah that's right
32:09is that a warning
32:11you can take it how you like
32:14one chain of command or the whole thing collapses
32:16and by the whole thing
32:18I'm talking about human beings
32:20this community
32:21I know that
32:22I'm not challenging you

45:36Just keep the momentum going. It's downhill and out of the river.
45:59Oh, great.
46:01That's all we need.
46:03There's the point.
46:05I'll take a look.
46:06Don't take too long.
46:09We can't wait here.
46:11Right.
46:12We'll be better off on foot anyway.
46:14This will only slow us up.
46:16Could you get up into the truck?
46:17Pass down the essentials.
46:19Roke me up then.
46:25Drugs and petrol.
46:26Aye.
46:29These are all electric.
46:31There's no sign of a lever.
46:32Come and give us a hand.
46:38That's no good unless I can find the junction box.
46:43Keep an eye on the rear, will you?
46:45What?
46:46For Manny.
46:46For Manny.
46:46You can tell Greg that all the switching's done upstairs.
46:51Watch it!
46:53All right, Greg.
46:54Come over here and start pushing.
46:56We're going back.
46:57Ruth.
46:59You're staying with us.
47:02So you better get used to the idea.
47:05Now, come on!
47:07You stay where you are, Greg.
47:09What?
47:10I can count if you can't.
47:12You've only got one round left in that gun.
47:17So you take your choice, Manny.
47:20Heads we win.
47:22Tails you lose.
47:23Only one round, Charles.
47:24And there's four more.
47:41This is George's gun.
47:45All right, now come on and drop your guns.
47:49Otherwise she gets it.
47:51You're bluffing.
47:52Of course.
47:57Come on!
48:06Who's there?
48:08Who is it?
48:13Wally.
48:15Yeah.
48:17Is he dead?
48:19Yes.
48:20That's what he tried to do to me.
48:22Are you hurt?
48:24Got a knock on the head.
48:26I'll be all right.
48:28Well, we're going home.
48:30Why don't you come with us?
48:31Yes.
48:32No, thanks.
48:33Not my scene.
48:37Is Nessie all right?
48:38Fighting fit.
48:39I've got a job to do.
48:43I'm going to find one of those doctors.
48:44Help the old girl out.
48:47Come your way.
48:49I'll give you a hand.
48:58Look.
48:59I'll see you then.
49:12I've got a knife now.
49:14Thanks.
49:15See you.
49:16Alright.

49:18Bye.
49:22See you.
