Short filmTranscript
00:00My name is Captain Marek Novotny,
00:02and I'm very sorry that you were involved, Mrs.
00:05Simms.
00:07Bob Simms, leg wounds.
00:09Right, and sex.
00:15Now it's your turn to seriously consider radiation treatment.
00:19I will seriously consider it.
00:21His wife is forcing him for adultery
00:22and plans to publicly name me as the other party.
00:25I don't know what to do.
00:30Keep Mrs. Barton away!
01:00husband and Ray.
01:01…
01:09impressy's laugh
01:10And I remember that the praying of the Father
01:13And the remembrance of the ways are found
01:17Only the almacenes alone waiting for me
01:19I see is wide open eyes
01:33Oh
02:00I'm sorry.
02:29They pick the moments, don't they?
02:36Where's Mrs. Bartlett?
02:37We tried to bring her in, but she's refusing.
03:01Number, please, Carla.
03:04Helen, call her number, please.
03:05Francis! Francis!
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.
03:16Peter held her work in such high regard.
03:18Francis!
03:18I want to stay here.
03:19And get killed!
03:21Francis!
03:21I want to stay here!
03:29Then I'm staying with you.
03:31Francis!
03:34Francis!
03:37I like it!
03:41Francis!
03:44Francis!
03:46I...
03:48...
04:02Laura?
04:07Are you still coming this week?
04:09School out in with the kids?
04:12Be 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.
04:20Laura?
04:24So you'll come then?
04:26Yes.
04:28Terrific.
04:52It's all right.
04:56It's all right.
05:17It's all right.
05:33It's all right.
05:49I see what you mean, but no offence.
05:51You don't count.
05:53Why?
05:56Let's leave you there, shall we?
06:10It's all right.
06:12It's all right.
06:24Laura?
06:29What is it?
06:40Charlotte Bowers is to divorce Wing Commander Richard Bowers and Grounds of Adultery.
06:47The correspondent is named as Miss Laura Campbell of Great Paxford, Cheshire.
07:06The correspondent is named as Miss Laura Campbell of Great Paxford.
07:07It's all right.
07:07It's all right.
07:08It's all right.
07:08It's all right.
07:09It's all right.
07:13It's all right.
07:17It's all right.
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.
09:10I tried to come earlier.
09:15Dad!
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.
10:01Some of us are working day and night to 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 the pressure 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 gardening and a spot of violent weeding.
10:48Well, perhaps you should find a different pressure valve,
10:50because, uh, that weed happens to be a rather nice foxglove.
10:53I don't know if it's a good one.
11:12Oh, my God!
11:13I don't know if it's going to take a look.
11:13Okay.
11:13Oh, my God.
11:13What's up?
11:13Oh, my God.
11:13Oh, my God.
11:14Oh, my God.
11:15Oh, my God.
11:17Oh, my God.
11:20Oh, my God.
11:22No, no, no, no.
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, if it's not in the dresser, I don't know where it is.
12:10Can't it keep till morning?
12:11No.
12:14You think the German high command shuts up shop when the sun goes down?
12:18What are you talking about?
12:21Stan.
12:22Come 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.
12:38Come to bed.
12:41You go.
12:44I can't sleep.
12:51Come.
13:19How did you hear you were now somebody?
13:19But..
13:19Ready?
13:55How many more for crying out loud?
13:58Show some respect.
14:21So far, so straightforward.
14:24But we now come to the matter of the factory.
14:28In the event of his death,
14:30Peter has instructed that his business interests
14:33should principally be transferred to you.
14:38Francis? Principally?
14:40Principally.
14:41Surely that should be entirely.
14:43In a codicil to his will,
14:45Peter instructed that 20% of the company
14:50should be placed in a separate trust.
14:53For who?
14:55While the size of the portion placed in trust can be disclosed,
15:00the identity of the beneficiary cannot.
15:05May I think?
15:07Well, there must be some mistake, Roger.
15:11In all conscience,
15:14I 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, yours.
15:48I give you a week before you telephone,
15:50begging me to bring you back.
15:52I've told you what it'll take
15:53for 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 to get it all out 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 all cartwheels, feeding troughs,
16:49anything big enough to foul up a German undercarriage.
17:14Off to the hospital?
17:18That's right.
17:19Yes.
17:20Pass all my best wishes to Bob.
17:22Thank you, Michelle.
17:51No milk.
17:52No?
17:54No.
17:56There was a coffee house outside Ostrova I used to frequent as a student.
18:03The owner threw out anyone who asked for milk with their coffee.
18:07For him it was Cianacava, or the door.
18:12In time I learned he was right.
18:15Cianacava.
18:16Cianacava, 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,
18:55because 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.
19:20And what she might see in me.
19:29Pardon me.
19:30I thought Bob might never return.
19:33Thought or 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. Barden.
20:26Mrs. Barden.
20:27Mrs. 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.
21:22Such a tragedy.
21:25Your husband was a gentleman.
21:31Sylvan.
21:33Where are you and Douglas living?
21:35I saw your house had been requisitioned.
21:39I've taken a house on the outskirts of the village.
21:46Frances.
21:49My mother was always fond of saying that life would be exceedingly boring if it took a linear path.
21:57No bumps or twists.
21:59No surprises.
22:01But then at times like this, what one would give for simple, dependable boredom.
22:09I'd give everything I have for another minute with him.
22:18Every 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.
23:11Dr. Campbell.
23:27So is she going to live by the sea?
23:28Perhaps the sea went round and asked her to leave.
23:30Welcome back, Mrs. Cameron.
23:33It's nice to see you.
23:36I don't trust her.
23:38Let'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 and it was painfully apparent that she is in no condition to continue as
23:59president
24:00for 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. Farrer?
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.
24:59I'm sorry.
25:02Then the only viable alternative is you, Mrs. Cameron.
25:09Me?
25:10You have the experience, the skill.
25:13You have the time to guide this branch until Frances 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.
25:54Hey!
25:56Cheering, your house?
25:59Are you all okay?
26:00You're all okay?
26:01That's all right.
26:06And he's got to go.
26:07I'm really not sure about that.
26:07What's going on?
26:08What's going on?
26:09What's going on?
26:15What's going on?
26:22All right.
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.
28:46Next 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.
31:17You're all right.
31:18Thank you, Dr. Hudson.
31:22I thought 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 structure.
32:24Salts, syringes, bandages, a box of one-ounce fluid contained.
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.
32:36We'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, it's from your mother.
33:15Oh.
33:38If she'd included a cart, 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.
34:12Why 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.
34:25This 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.
34:47Pack 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.
34:54I've got...
35:02A bit more.
35:04A bit more.
35:08Perfect.
35:09Under the chair?
35:10You can't have that.
35:11I 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.
35:49You haven't moved it from the attic, have you?
35:50Why would I?
35:52Go on.
35:57It's Dan.
36:06This is how the Czech army insists its soldiers make bets.
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.
36:27Thank you for today.
36:47You should be back at the camp.
37:00Goodbye, Mr. Sibbs.
37:04Goodbye, Captain Aloni.
37:40You're the very first person to respond to the advertisement.
37:43I happened to be walking past the church notice board when it was put up.
37:47We've been struggling to replace our bar staff since they've been reassigned to more important duties.
37:50Is it only officers I'll be serving or all rank?
37:54Just officers.
37:55You'll soon know your Gloucester gladiator from your Hawker Hurricane.
37:58By what?
38:00Types of plane.
38:10Reliable as a date was issued.
38:12Stan?
38:14My old man told me he'd kill five Germans with this.
38:16Is all this completely necessary?
38:18Jerry's aunt invaded me catapults.
38:20Only good German is a dead one.
38:22Aim for the head.
38:23Or the chest.
38:24Stan!
38:26Well, keep this in here.
38:28Good at close range.
38:37We'll hide this under the floor in the cow shed.
38:39Our scrap lying all over the fields is one thing, but hiding loaded weapons on the farm is...
38:44Stan, I don't like this one little bit.
38:46They're absolutely brutal with civilians.
38:50Just unnecessary mouths to feed.
38:54It's basic self-defence, Steph.
38:58Kill or be killed.
39:09Come on, children.
39:10No straggling.
39:12We're nearly there.
39:13Come on.
39:15Come on.
39:16Collect your coats and things and come straight back out to meet your parents.
39:19Quick as you can now.
39:20Come on, girls.
39:24Come on.
39:26Here you go, boys.
39:27Well, thank you both so much for helping.
39:29Oh, I loved it.
39:30Any time you want to come and help us out, you're more than welcome.
39:32Isabelle!
39:33Oh, are we off?
39:34Laura!
39:37You mustn't let the gossip get to you too much, eh?
39:40Oh, hello, ladies.
39:43It's just people.
39:44Too much time on their hands and too little brains in their heads.
39:47Turn up, dear.
39:49Excuse me!
39:50Tell the devil.
39:52What is she doing here?
39:53Miss Campbell helped with today's outing.
39:55Is there a problem?
39:56Yes.
39:57Yes, there is a problem.
40:02I am not happy with that girl being around my child.
40:07Now, you can be sure that I will be writing a letter to the Board of Governors.
40:10I think you're being very unfair, Mrs. Talbot.
40:13You are free to think what you like, Miss Finchurch.
40:16Her kind of behavior may be all the rage where you come from,
40:20but it is completely unacceptable here.
40:26Hop in, Laura.
40:27I'll drop you home.
40:29I'd stay well clear of her if I were you.
40:32Fun of yours.
40:33Just leave it, Tom.
40:35People are judged by the company.
40:37They keep young men.
40:38Mrs. Talbot, your daughter's waiting for you.
40:40Please.
40:41Your problem is with me, Mrs. Talbot.
40:42Why not leave him out of it?
40:45I'm trying to do him a favor by keeping him out of you.
40:49Mrs. Talbot, go inside and collect your daughter now.
40:54Please.
41:06Come on, get in.
41:08We'll run her over when she comes out.
41:11She's right, though.
41:12You can't afford to be associated with me.
41:14Laura...
41:14Why don't you stay away from me, Tom?
41:16For your own sake.
41:26I've been looking deeper into the accounts,
41:28and there is something I don't completely understand.
41:32Well, if you don't understand it, then what hope is there for us?
41:36These are, as yet, unbanked checks from the company account,
41:41post-dated the first of each month until the end of this financial year,
41:46all written out to Helen Lakin, her company accountant.
41:51All this has been happening since 1929, but they don't appear anywhere in the books.
41:58So she was on the fiddle?
41:59Oh, I don't believe it.
42:01Not Helen.
42:03Yes?
42:08The police just delivered this for you, Mrs. Patton.
42:12Leave it on the side, would you please?
42:23I'm sorry, Alison.
42:26How do these checks move us any closer to finding out who Peter left 20% of the company to?
42:33Actually, I think this might get us quite close.
42:36Why do you say that?
42:37Because every single check to Helen Lakin has been signed by Peter.
42:46He knew.
42:48Why would he do that?
42:58I need these prescription signs as soon as you can.
43:02Fine, I'll do them now.
43:08Will?
43:11I slipped.
43:12I'm calling an ambulance.
43:13Don't be ridiculous.
43:14You can be badly hurt.
43:15Sit still.
43:16Stay still.
43:21It's not that bad.
43:28What will you and the girls do when I'm gone?
43:31I know the success rates, Erica.
43:33I know the prognosis.
43:34You have to believe the treatment rule.
43:36I know you're right.
43:38God knows I've said as much to my patients enough times, but the odds it gains are so high.
43:50I don't want to leave you and the girls.
43:54I don't want to leave you.
43:55I don't want to go.
44:18I don't want to leave you.
