02:26Oh, my God.
02:29They pick the moments, don't they?
02:36Where's Mrs. Barlin?
02:37We tried to bring her in, but she's refusing.
03:01Number, please, Carla.
03:04Helen, call her. Number, please.
03:05Frances! Frances!
03:08You need to come into the shelter immediately.
03:11Helen Lakin is being buried today.
03:13And part of me feels I ought to be there.
03:15Peter held her work in such high regard.
03:18Frances!
03:18I want to stay here.
03:19And get killed!
03:21Frances!
03:21I want to stay here.
03:29Then I'm staying with you.
03:30I want to stay here.
04:02Laura?
04:07Are you still coming this week?
04:09School out in with the kids?
04:12We're out in, yes.
04:13With the girls, they'll interrogate you like they're in the Gestapo,
04:16and the boys will literally fall over themselves to impress you.
04:21Laura?
04:24So you'll come then?
04:25Yes.
04:28Truthfully.
04:42It's all right, there's nothing on the way out.
04:46It's all right.
04:53It's all right.
05:06Most operators refused to stay during the raid.
05:10You handled it very well.
05:13Thanks.
05:17When I was told you'd be training me, my heart sank.
05:21You know, I never set out to steal Spencer from you.
05:26Clearly.
05:28You couldn't have done that even if you wanted to.
05:30You think I could have?
05:31Believe me, no.
05:34No, I was looking to offload him for some time
05:37and you did me a huge favour by showing an interest when you did.
05:41After all, that girl wouldn't rather have a pilot over a porcelain.
05:46Well, me?
05:49I see what you mean, but no offence, you don't count.
05:53Why?
05:55Let's leave you there, shall we?
06:06Hey.
06:11Hello, there.
06:12Hello, there.
06:13Hello, there.
06:14Hello, there.
06:17Hello.
06:17Hello, there.
06:20Hello, there.
06:26Hello, there.
06:29What is it?
06:40Charlotte Bowers is to divorce Wing Commander Richard Bowers
06:43on grounds of adultery.
06:47The correspondent is named as Miss Laura Campbell
06:50of Great Paxford, Cheshire.
07:06How are you doing?
07:07How is it going to be done?
07:12Come on, Anne.
07:12I'm a vampire.
07:13It's too good.
07:15I'm a vampire man.
07:17I'll be sorry, yes.
07:18I'm a vampire man.
07:43Oh, my God.
08:03Oh, I'm looking for Mr. Sims.
08:05Of course.
08:06Over there.
08:38I tried to come earlier, but there was a raid.
08:40I tried to come earlier.
09:14Dad!
09:22Dad!
09:35I was, uh, I was just passing.
09:38I, uh, I wanted to see how you were after everything.
09:43Like the hair, by the way.
09:44Oh.
09:46Well, Adam thinks it suits me.
09:49Everything suits you.
09:53I don't really know why I'm bothering with all of this.
09:57Germans already have her.
09:58I don't know if they'll have his garden soon enough.
10:00Well, some of us are working day and night
10:02to make sure that doesn't happen.
10:03Germany has everything.
10:04I mean, they have everything that the French had,
10:06plus everything that we left behind at Dunkirk.
10:09You know, the French had a much bigger army than us.
10:12What chance do we have?
10:18Sometimes it, uh,
10:20pressure of everything that's happening
10:22actually feels palpable.
10:24As if I could reach up and push against it.
10:27Well, it's as if it's bearing down on us.
10:31You feel it, too.
10:32Mm-hmm.
10:34The minute I wake up.
10:37But, thankfully, we have a thing called beer.
10:41Beer works wonders against all that.
10:43Well, me, it's, it's gardening
10:45and a spot of violent weeding.
10:48Well, perhaps you should find a different pressure valve
10:50because, uh, that weed
10:51happens to be a rather nice foxglove.
11:07you feel theæ„›
11:09And I go, uh-huh.
11:23You know, I've got to talk
11:23I don't know.
11:53I thought we kept the map of the farm in the dresser drawer.
11:57What?
11:58The map of the farm, Steph.
12:01Where is it?
12:02I don't know.
12:04Right.
12:06Stan!
12:07If it's not in the dresser, I don't know where it is.
12:10Can't it keep till morning?
12:11Yeah.
12:14You think the German high command shuts up shop when the sun goes down?
12:18What are you talking about?
12:21Stan!
12:21Um, come back to bed.
12:24While we sleep.
12:26Big plan.
12:28Go up.
12:30I need to get on.
12:31With what?
12:32I haven't got time for a debate.
12:36Stan.
12:39Come to bed.
12:41You go.
12:44I can't sleep.
12:45I can't sleep.
12:45I can't sleep.
12:59I don't know.
13:55How many more for crying out loud?
13:57Show some respect.
14:22So far, so straightforward.
14:23But we now come to the matter of the factory.
14:28In the event of his death, Peter has instructed that his business interests should principally
14:35be transferred to you.
14:38Francis?
14:39Principally?
14:40Principally.
14:41Surely that should be entirely.
14:42In a codicil to his will, Peter instructed that 20% of the company should be placed in a
14:51separate trust.
14:52For who?
14:55While the size of the portion placed in trust can be disclosed, the identity of the beneficiary
15:02cannot.
15:05May I think?
15:07Well, there must be some mistake, Roger.
15:11In all conscience, I felt you had to know the earliest opportunity.
15:19What does this all mean?
15:34And that's the last of it.
15:36What a pokey little place this is.
15:42It's not too late to change your mind.
15:45Nor you.
15:46Yours.
15:48I give you a week before you telephone, begging me to bring you back.
15:52I've told you what it'll take for me to make such a request, Douglas.
15:57That ball is entirely in your court.
16:06One week.
16:21Hurry up, Stan.
16:22I want you to get it all up before the sun goes down.
16:31What's all this?
16:33Glittering the fields with all machinery to stop the jerrys being able to land.
16:36You what?
16:37They've done it all over the south.
16:39When they try and land further north, we need to make sure they can't.
16:42Don't you mean if?
16:44Get changed.
16:45Check the outhouses for old cartwheels, feeding troughs, anything big enough to foul up a German
16:50undercarriage.
17:14After the hospital?
17:18That's right.
17:19Yes.
17:20Pass all my best wishes to Bob.
17:24Michelle.
17:51No milk?
17:52No.
17:54No?
17:54No.
17:56There was a coffee house outside Ostrova.
18:00I used to frequent as a student.
18:03The owner threw out anyone who asked for milk with their coffee.
18:06Hm.
18:07For him it was Tjernakava or the door.
18:11Hm.
18:12In time I learned he was right.
18:15Tjernakava.
18:17Tjernakava it is.
18:27Have you been to see your husband?
18:30He's quite badly injured.
18:35Weaker than I've ever seen him.
18:38He'd expect me to wait on him hand and foot when he comes back home.
18:43As his wife or as his servant.
18:47Why do you say that?
18:51You told me about a man who does not like flowers because it makes him think of his own mortality.
18:58Who does not want children because they will get in the way of his work.
19:09It makes me wonder how such a man thinks of you.
19:15And why such a woman would stay with such a man.
19:21And what she might see in me.
19:29Pardon me.
19:30I thought Bob might never return.
19:33Thought.
19:34Or hoped.
19:37I've tried to imagine what it would feel like.
19:40Does that make me a terrible person?
19:42No.
19:44Not to me.
19:47I enjoyed the feeling.
19:51Terrible now.
20:22Mrs. Bardin.
20:26Mrs. Barden.
20:30If now is not a suitable time, I completely understand.
20:34But I felt compelled to come and offer my deepest condolences.
20:41No, please, I...
20:45You were the last person I expected to see.
20:47I discovered that the sea air is not all that it's cracked up to be.
20:54So you're back for good?
20:56Well, let's just say that my situation is in a state of flux.
21:02Thank you, Claire.
21:04Please.
21:13Peter gave me that bench for our 20th wedding anniversary.
21:18We used to sit there in the warm evenings.
21:21It's such a tragedy.
21:25Your husband was a gentleman.
21:32So, where are you and Douglas living?
21:35I saw your house had been requisitioned.
21:38I've taken a house on the outskirts of the village.
21:48Frances, my mother was always fond of saying that life would be exceedingly boring if it took a linear path.
21:56No bumps or twists.
21:59No surprises.
22:01But then at times like this,
22:05what one would give for simple, dependable boredom.
22:10I'd give everything I have for another minute with him.
22:19Every single thing.
22:31Thank you for coming in this morning, Dr. Campbell.
22:34If you're anything like other doctors we've treated, I imagine you've read everything there is to read about this treatment.
22:39Pretty much.
22:40So, forgive me if what I'm about to say sounds like I'm teaching you to suck eggs.
22:44Is sucking eggs part of the procedure?
22:46I must have missed that particular article.
22:48If only it were.
22:50We'll need you here every day for five weeks.
22:52I've rearranged my surgery out.
22:54Rearranged?
22:55Dr. Campbell, this treatment won't just tire out a tad.
22:58It will exhaust you, physically and mentally.
23:02I understand.
23:26Thought you were going to live by the sea.
23:28Perhaps the sea went round and asked her to leave.
23:31Welcome back, Mrs. Cameron.
23:33It's nice to see you.
23:37I don't trust her.
23:38Ahem.
23:39Let's start with apologies for her absence from our president, Mrs. Barden.
23:46May I propose that we've postponed this evening's meeting out of respect for Frances?
23:51I visited Mrs. Barden yesterday afternoon
23:55and it was painfully apparent that she is in no condition to continue as president for the foreseeable future.
24:02I completely agree.
24:03Surely we can soldier on for the moment.
24:05Can a ship steer a true course without its rudder, Mrs. Farrah?
24:10However great our compassion for Mrs. Barden at this terrible time,
24:15the branch needs a viable precedent.
24:18Here we go.
24:20Do you have someone in mind, Mrs. Cameron?
24:22Actually, I do.
24:24Yes.
24:26Oh.
24:28You think I'm suggesting myself?
24:30No, no, no, no, no.
24:32But I wouldn't hesitate in proposing Mrs. Simms.
24:37Me?
24:39As branch secretary, you have been formidable in your organizing over many years.
24:44You know the WI protocol inside out?
24:47As a rough show of hands, who would support Mrs. Simms taking over?
24:53It's very flattering, of course, but one couldn't take it on.
24:58Not with Bob back.
25:00I'm sorry.
25:02Then the only viable alternative is you, Mrs. Cameron.
25:09Me?
25:11You have the experience, the skill.
25:13You have the time to guide this branch until Francis is able to return.
25:19As a rough show of hands, who would support Mrs. Cameron taking over?
25:22In the short term?
25:23In the short term.
25:30I'm really not sure about this.
25:55To your left.
25:57But I don't have time to tell you.
26:00I guess, it's not certain things.
26:05I guess, there's no sign of this.
26:05It's not your sign.
26:06It's not your sign.
26:08You are good at it!
26:08It's not your sign.
26:09I'm really lucky.
26:09It's not your sign.
26:10It's my sign.
26:11It's a good sign.
26:11It's a good sign.
26:14What is going on as you live in the right of 22,000?
26:14It's a good sign of the day very next day.
26:15Time to go in the right of 22,000.
26:16New name is the memory.
26:16Of course, you'll wear it in the right of 32,000.
26:16You can find a stronghead.
26:16It's a good sign of your name and a heavy-looking,
26:18It's a good sign of your name.
26:30On behalf of all the staff here,
26:32I'd like to offer our sincere condolences.
26:35Mr Barton was a wonderful employer.
26:37He'll be sadly missed by everyone.
26:41Thank you, Mr Taylor.
26:44It was the accounts you wished to see.
26:47Yes.
26:48Do you want to look at these here or at home?
26:51I'll get someone to help you.
26:52Oh, I think we can manage these to the car.
26:55But these only cover the current quarter.
26:59This area holds the full Barton accounts.
27:10Bob.
27:13I wonder when you were planning on coming, Mike.
27:16I had errands to me.
27:19I'll put you some cigarettes.
27:21No chocolate?
27:24We've run out.
27:26Sorry.
27:28I'll bring some next time.
27:29How are you feeling?
27:31Well, they've reduced the morphine, which is a good sign, I suppose.
27:34But still in a lot of pain.
27:36The doctor told me there's no possibility of you climbing stairs for some time.
27:40So I'm putting a bed in the study.
27:48Well, what, what, what happened?
27:52Straight artillery landed 50 feet from where I was standing.
27:56Lifted me clean off me feet.
27:58Thrapping on it in me arm.
28:00Pulled me leg.
28:02Problem with tibia.
28:03Well, lucky you weren't killed.
28:05Could have been worse.
28:12Let me help.
28:30That said, I've come back with an idea for a new novel.
28:34Set on the beach at Dunkirk.
28:36I've been dedicated to my fellow veterans.
28:43That's better.
28:46But next time, don't forget the chocolate.
28:50Yes.
28:57Couldn't help seeing your name in the paper.
29:00Pity it had to be about that and not something more savoury.
29:04Very messy business, I'm sure.
29:06But if you want my advice...
29:07Thanks, but I really, really don't.
29:08Your mistake was to go for a married man.
29:11Much less complicated to go after single RAF boys.
29:14No wives.
29:16Do you see?
29:18What, you're speaking from experience, are you?
29:20Should put the telephone exchange all day.
29:22Not a pilot, single or married, in sight.
29:25I'm only trying to help.
29:26Help yourself, I don't need it.
29:36Oh, you gave me a shilling too much.
29:45It's good to know the majority of people in Great Paxford are honourable.
29:50Thank you, Mrs. Talbot.
29:52Next.
29:55She's brave to show her face.
29:57I'll give her that.
29:58I'd go so far as to say shameless.
30:01I can hear you, Mrs. Talbot.
30:04Every word is you intend, no doubt.
30:06It's your mother and father I feel sorry for.
30:11Disgusting.
30:11I could list a few of your past mistakes for the village to hang out with their laundry.
30:17Good day.
30:28What can I get you?
30:44Any luck?
30:46No evidence of debt or sudden financial injection over the past five years that would need repaying.
30:52There must be something.
30:52Well, you'd expect something to suggest where a 20% share of the business might be owed.
30:58I'll keep going back.
30:59Who or what?
31:01Could he have promised it to?
31:03You must have some idea.
31:04You can ask me a thousand times.
31:07I can think of nothing to explain it.
31:12Keep the knee rested, Mr. Hudson.
31:14That means no allotment until the swelling has gone down.
31:18Right.
31:18Thank you, Dr.
31:22Thought I had a four o'clock.
31:24And a quarter past four.
31:27No.
31:29May I see the diary, please?
31:32What for?
31:36Erica, have you been cancelling appointments?
31:40I told you I can handle the treatment and work.
31:44I'm not a fool.
31:47I have no intention of running myself into a grave any earlier than is absolutely necessary.
31:51I haven't cancelled appointments.
31:53Well, then where have they gone?
31:57To Dr. Clark's surgery.
32:00Dr. Clark?
32:02Several patients have transferred their records to him.
32:06How many are several?
32:09Eight.
32:10Since the notice in the paper about the Bowers' divorce.
32:13I'm fairly certain.
32:15With the cost of my treatment, the timing couldn't be worse.
32:21This is the building.
32:22It's suffered strut...
32:23Salts, syringes, bandages, a box of one-ounce fluid container.
32:29Hello, yes.
32:29I'm calling from RAF Tabley Wood.
32:32I'm wondering if I could trouble you to place an advertisement on your village notice board.
32:37We're looking for staff to work in the officer's mess behind the bar.
32:53Spencer, just drop something off.
32:56Thought you might like to see.
33:07What's this?
33:10Why don't you open it?
33:13Oh, it's from your mother!
33:14Oh!
33:16Oh!
33:27Oh!
33:36Well, if she'd included a cot, we'd have an entire nursery.
33:50Did you ask her to send these?
33:52I thought it might help you get ready.
33:54I have had a baby before, Bryn.
33:57I know you have, ma'am.
33:58I do know what to do.
34:02But I want you to get as excited over this child as you did when you were expecting David.
34:07It's time to give this one some attention now.
34:13Why do you go out and wait for the bus every morning?
34:17If you've given up all hope, he'll return.
34:23This isn't about David.
34:25David, this is about the new baby.
34:28David's brother or sister.
34:30They're separate.
34:33Whether David is alive or...
34:35Alive.
34:37Whether or not he is...
34:38He is.
34:48Pack this lot out and send it back to your mother.
34:50We don't need it.
34:51David's baby clothes will fit perfectly.
34:53I've no doubt to have that.
35:02A bit more.
35:04A bit more.
35:08Crouchy.
35:09Under the chair?
35:10You can, but I don't know if he's going to be able to sit at his desk to work.
35:16So now it's just the bed.
35:17And where's that?
35:18Upstairs.
35:23What are you doing?
35:25Places to hide.
35:27Guns.
35:28Guns?
35:28Mm.
35:30We hide them where they can't find them, but you'll have them close by.
35:33For what?
35:34To defend yourselves when I go back.
35:36What else?
35:37Against the entire German army?
35:38They loot and pillage, Steph.
35:40They won't take no for an answer.
35:43Look, I understand you come back full of what you saw in France.
35:46My father's old service revolver should still be in full working order.

35:50Why would I?
35:52Go on.
35:57It's done.
36:06This is how the Czech army insists its soldiers make beds.
36:10Very good.
36:12Except I think Bob might wonder why a soldier has made his bed and not me.
36:18Perhaps it shouldn't be so neat.
36:26Thank you for today.
