00:00The Czechs learnt this morning they're soon to be redeployed.
00:10I kept my word, and I've told no one that you're here.
00:15They can't go back?
00:17It's mine.
00:19The book, yes. The contents, most definitely not.
00:22You saved nine men.
00:23You're a hero, son.
00:25No, no.
00:26I thought inviting you here might be the best way.
00:29To ask you to marry me.
00:31I will, then.
00:32For shutting your factory down, Mrs. Barden.
00:34With immediate effect.
00:52Pa?
00:58We have permission to search your property.
01:01For what?
01:02We'll be quick.
01:03I'll try to finish.
01:05I'll be the first.
01:06Once I'm ready.
01:07Once I'm ready.
01:07I'll see.
01:09A sea is white.
01:11All the light.
01:12I will be the bard calling for us.
01:18If we see.
02:20Working here is one thing, but it hardly prepares you for radio operator training.
02:26I imagine it must be very technical.
02:30You can't make mistakes when you're talking to pilots on ops against the Germans.
02:35Ops means operations, by the way.
02:39Oh, is that right?
02:39You have to be prepared for every eventuality because, as my instructor says all the time, your first shift could
02:49be your worst shift.
02:51Well, it's lovely of you to come back and see us, isn't it, Pat?
02:58I've always believed as we move forward in life, it's important not to forget the people we leave behind.
03:08Oh, it's an honour to linger in your thoughts.
03:15Oh, I'm sure.
03:19It took Peter 23 years to build up this business.
03:25Four months for me to bring it to its knees.
03:29When I took over, I trusted Taylor without a moment's hesitation.
03:36That he brought criminals into this business is utterly incredible.
03:43Lions must have paid him a great deal of money.
03:45I hope it rots in his pockets in jail.
03:49If the Ministry shuts us down, there'll be no business to sell.
03:55I'll be lucky to avoid prison myself.
03:59This isn't your fault.
04:03If not mine, who else's?
04:20Well, you're lucky you caught me.
04:23I was just about to leave.
04:27To meet your fiancée.
04:29I want to counsel her to change her mind before it's too late.
04:32The wedding committee meetings.
04:34To finalise the responsibilities for the reception.
04:40Look, I didn't want to burden Teresa with this so soon before the wedding, but, um...
04:46I needed someone to talk to.
04:49And the best person I could think of was you.
04:53One of my young airmen has gone missing.
04:55What?
04:56For nearly a week.
04:58We've searched local farms, woodland.
05:00No sign.
05:01And the thing I can't seem to shake is...
05:04the feeling that I've failed in my duty of care.
05:08Why would you think that?
05:10I clearly failed to see how much pressure he was under.
05:13It must be difficult to notice when everyone's knuckling down to the job in hand.
05:16I'm his commanding officer.
05:18Why didn't he regard me as someone he could confide in?
05:21I told Adam years ago that his dog collar doesn't make him omniscient.
05:25It just makes him think that he should be.
05:29Beneath the uniform, you're just men trying to do your best in extraordinary circumstances.
05:38If he's caught, what will happen to him?
05:41Let's just say it would be best all round if he returned of his own volition.
05:47Knew I was right.
05:48About what?
05:49Coming to see you.
05:54I should be going.
05:56I'll see myself out.
05:59I'll see myself out.
06:29I'll see myself out.
06:33Right, right, right, looking down the list, I think everything's covered except for decorating
06:39the hall for the reception.
06:40I'd say you're all set.
06:42Oh, thank you so much.
06:43You've all been fantastic.
06:44Sorry I'm late.
06:46We didn't have hall decorations when we got married, didn't even have a hall.
06:51Just a barn with a leaky room.
06:57Me and Bryn had a guard of honour when we came out of the church.
07:00Five butchers on either side, with their arms aloft, holding gleaming keywords.
07:07What was it about Bryn that made you certain he was the man for you?
07:10Oh, I see.
07:12Once I met Bryn, I knew I'd never want anyone else.
07:15Why?
07:16What was it about Will?
07:19The same.
07:25What was it about Mr. Simms?
07:28He was very kind.
07:31And he shared my love of literature.
07:35So what is it about Nick?
07:45Well, I had a feeling once I'd met him.
07:52That he'd be the only man for me.
07:55Aww.
07:59You're very good at posting the letters.
08:01You're a bit closer in the making, aren't you?
08:04Hey, Mrs. Cameron.
08:10Aw.
08:11Mrs. Cameron.
08:13And who might this young man be?
08:15My name is Noah.
08:16Noah?
08:18What a lovely name.
08:19He's staying with Mrs. Barden while his grandparents find a new place to live.
08:22The street in Liverpool was badly bombed during a raid.
08:25Very pleased to meet you, Noah.
08:27And if you're staying with Mrs. Barden, you'll be in very good hands.
08:30And if they aren't hers?
08:32She's taking him in, but it seems to be everyone else looking after him.
08:36Mainly Claire.
08:37No doubt Mrs. Barden is busy at the factory.
08:40As enjoyable as it may be, riding with Mr. Wilson, young man, handling the Royal Mail really should be undertaken
08:47by post office employees.
08:49Sorry.
08:50He's not really handling the mail, Mrs. Cameron.
08:52He's posting them for me.
08:53And make sure all the letters go in the right place.
08:56I'm sure you do, Mr. Wilson.
08:58We best get on.
09:00Enjoy your day, gentlemen.
09:09Oh, thank you.
09:12Oh, Sarah.
09:13Hmm?
09:14The only thing we haven't managed to find is the tablecloth good enough to set off the wedding cake.
09:18I remember there was this really lovely one at last year's Harvest Festival.
09:21Oh!
09:22Was that yours?
09:23Always the best thing I ever made under the banner of the W.Y.
09:26Took me three years, mind.
09:27It's beautiful.
09:28Any chance?
09:29Of course.
09:30I'd be honoured.
09:31I'll come back with you and pick it up.
09:33Uh, well, why don't I just pop it round later?
09:35Because I don't want to put you into any trouble.
09:37It's no trouble.
09:38Don't be daft.
09:39It's on my way home.
10:15It's my advance.
10:18I can't tell you how good it feels to finally hold this check for so many dark days.
10:26And when the book takes off, we'll be able to buy a bigger place.
10:31Dine out regularly, buy a car.
10:33I don't want any of those things.
10:35The status that comes from being the wife of a best-selling author.
10:39I don't want that.
10:40Well, then what do you want?
10:46Let me make you some lunch.
10:48Bob, you must be hungry.
10:50Yeah.
10:51I am, actually.
10:54Quite an appetite.
10:56And then after lunch, I'm gonna go and bang this.
11:00Well, I could run to the shop for some ham.
11:03If you like, we still have some left on the ration.
11:05There's no need to go out.
11:06I'll have whatever you can rustle up from here.
11:07I don't mind.
11:08I said there's no need to go out.
11:12So there's no need to go out.
11:14I'll have a chatlie and go out.
11:46I'm afraid it's out of my hands.
11:48What do you mean, out of your hands?
11:50You assured me whatever the lions did, the factory would not be harmed.
11:54We assumed they'd simply channel dirty profits from other enterprises through the factory's books.
11:59We had no idea that they'd attempt anything as contemptible as this.
12:03I betrayed the trust and loyalty of a very dear friend.
12:06You decided you wanted to serve your country.
12:08Not at the expense of everything else.
12:09Yes.
12:14What's going to happen to the factory?
12:17Its fate lies in the hands of the Air Ministry, inspectors.
12:20Neither myself nor Frances Barton knew anything about the substandard silk.
12:26I mean, she believes she might end up in prison over this.
12:30Could she?
12:32We live in unforgiving times, Mrs. Scotlock.
12:34Oh, God.
12:44Sarah?
12:45Hmm?
12:47Do you have anyone staying with you at the moment?
12:48I...
12:49No.
12:50Why do you ask?
12:52I think you should fetch the police.
12:54Why?
12:55I'm almost certain your house is being burgled.
13:12I understand, and I would have to be a criminal or criminally insane to do that, but I could
13:16be facing a charge of treason, for God's sake.
13:22Keep trying, Roger, please.
13:25I feel I'm fighting for my life here.
13:30Sorry to disturb you, Mrs. Barton.
13:32Crooky and Thumbs have invited Isabel Spencer and me to join them on their overnight trip
13:37to Blackpool this afternoon.
13:40I see.
13:41Claire hasn't had any time off since Mr. Barton's funeral, Mrs. Barton.
13:46And quite like to spend some time with my wife.
13:48Well, I understand, of course.
13:52Time together is very important in a young marriage.
13:55And Noah will almost certainly love Blackpool.
13:58Well, look, Mrs. Barton, thing is...
14:00Time off for Claire means time off, Mrs. Barton.
14:04So we won't be taking Noah.
14:07Well, I hope you have a very enjoyable time.
14:13Thank you, Mrs. Barton.
14:14Thank you, Mrs. Barton.
14:24Are you out of your mind, Sarah?
14:28My husband's laying his life on the line for his country, yours is too.
14:32And you're harbouring a deserter.
14:34He's not a deserter.
14:35Has he gone back?
14:36One night yet.
14:37I took pity on him, Steph.
14:40If you'd seen the state that he was in, and I don't mean physically.
14:44Sarah, you have to tell the authorities.
14:48Each time I braced myself to do that, a question came into my head.
14:52What would Adam do?
14:53He would give the boy time to rest, come to his senses,
14:57and then hand himself in.
15:20Shouldn't be more than a couple of hours.
15:22While I'm gone,
15:24I wonder if you wouldn't mind proofreading the first three chapters.
15:27I think there's some good work in there.
15:30Some will be less good.
15:32Make some notes.
15:33We can discuss it when I get back.
15:35That will take most of the afternoon.
15:38I really appreciate it.
15:40All right.
15:57See you later.
15:59See you later.
16:01See you later.
16:17Oh, my God.
16:36Oh, my God.
17:06Oh, my God.
17:32Oh, my God.
17:34Oh, my God.
17:36Oh, my God.
17:42Oh, my God.
18:14Oh, my God.
18:16Oh, my God.
18:16Oh, my God.
18:28Oh, my God.
19:03Oh, my God.
19:22Oh, my God.
19:33Oh, my God.
19:50Oh, my God.
20:20Oh, my God.
20:28Oh, my God.
20:29We should go.
20:29Oh, my God.
20:31Oh, my God.
20:34Oh, my God.
20:35Oh, my God.
20:54Oh, my God.
20:58Oh, my God.
20:59Oh, my God.
21:16Oh, my God.
21:20Oh, my God.
21:22Oh, my God.
21:25Oh, my God.
21:27Oh, my God.
21:28I can't thank you enough for all your help.
21:31I should have enough peace and quiet here to think things through.
21:39No candles, no lights.
22:00Nick!
22:01Was he in the vicarage while we were talking?
22:02Uh, sorry, who was in the vicarage?
22:04I can only assume you think you're helping him. You are not.
22:06Was he still there, or have you moved him into the church?
22:08I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
22:11Honestly? Is that really the word you want to use?
22:13I don't know what you think's going on here, but I...
22:14Sarah, stop before I lose all my respect for you.
22:16Someone who cares about you greatly left a message with my secretary. I know.
22:21Nick...
22:21You might at least have had the decency to stop me making a fool of myself in your house
22:25while you hid him upstairs!
22:27Now, for the last time, where is he?
22:29Now, just explain something.
22:30Step aside.
22:54How many are you expecting?
22:56My way of telling.
22:57Could be two, could be 22.
22:59Hm.
23:00You'll be fine.
23:11If you'd already come to a decision about your next move, we wouldn't be standing here.
23:16Come back to the station with me, and the record will state that you came back of your own accord,
23:21after a period of going absent without leave.
23:27Um...
23:27If I refuse, when you're caught, which you will be, you will almost certainly stand trial for desertion, and there
23:35will be nothing I can do.
23:39I want to help.
23:55I want to thank you all for coming this evening to this first meeting of Great Paxford's very own branch
24:01of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association.
24:05I only heard of Safa recently, after they helped the mother of a sailor on David's ship trace our address.
24:11Yes.
24:12But knowing what I know now about the work that Safa does, I wish we'd been in touch with them
24:16during that terrible period that...
24:23That terrible period of...
24:28Sorry.
24:29Sorry.
24:31Sorry.
24:35Sorry.
24:37Sorry.
24:38I couldn't sign up fast enough.
24:41When my ship was attacked, I ended up in the water, clinging onto anything that could float.
24:47And I thought about everything.
24:49But what upset me the most was knowing what my parents would go through if I never came back.
24:55War isn't just about the lads that go and fight.
24:58It's also about the families we leave behind.
25:00And we all go through it together.
25:02That's right.
25:03Yeah.
25:22Nick.
25:25I can't tell you how much I wish you'd been able to trust me.
25:27Because now it seems I'll never be able to trust you again.
25:30That's not fair.
25:32Perhaps not.
25:33But that's how it is.
25:36I have to go before we waste yet more hours in a search that could have been called off a
25:40week ago.
25:58What?
26:00Once we finish this, there's no going back.
26:02Do you want to go back?
26:09You sure?
26:12Well, you better keep sewing.
26:15Nothing gets a wedding off to a bad start more than a bride turning up half-dressed.
26:25I'm ready.
26:27I know Claire reads you a story before you go to bed.
26:31You won't mind if I don't.
26:33No.
26:34Oh.
26:37Wait here and I'll take you up.
26:47Good evening, Frances.
26:49Hope I haven't called at an inopportune moment.
26:52I'd invite you in, Joyce, but we have an evacuee staying and I'm about to put him to bed.
26:56Yes, I met young Mr. Lakin this morning when he was helping Mr. Wilson with his postal rounds having a
27:02final time.
27:04Did Noah tell you his surname?
27:07No, he didn't.
27:09But this did.
27:11What is it?
27:12Something I confiscated from Miss Marshall a few months ago.
27:16After catching her taking notes from conversations at the exchange, several conversations between Peter and Helen Lakin seems to have
27:26drawn her ear.
27:28If it's any consolation, I doubt very much Miss Marshall would have made the connections that I made.
27:34And which connections would those be?
27:39I think it is most admirable that you've taken the child in, given the circumstances.
27:46The circumstances being that his street was recently bombed.
27:50In Liverpool, where he lives with his grandparents?
27:53Yes.
27:54Following the recent death of his parents in a tragic car accident in Great Paxford.
27:59His mother died recently in a car accident in Great Paxford.
28:02As far as I'm aware, the child never knew his father.
28:06That is the way I should like it to stay.
28:10As you wish.
28:12Thank you for calling, Joyce, but I...
28:15Oh, no, no. That's not the only reason I called.
28:18I was emptying some old boxes, and I happened across a trunk that had my son's old toys.
28:24And I wondered if Noah might make use of some tin soldiers.
28:32Some adults find it hard to lower themselves to a child's level.
28:37Especially if their child isn't their own.
28:41It's a shame to let them rust at the bottom of a trunk.
28:50And the notebook.
28:54Good night, Frances.
28:55Good night, Frances.
28:58And good luck.
29:09Noah?
29:16Noah?
29:25Noah?
29:26Noah?
29:37Noah?
29:53Noah?
29:56Noah?
29:58Oh, Noah?
29:59Noah?
30:00Noah?
30:23Thank you, ladies.
30:25All decorations on the thristle tables at the back, please.
30:34Hello.
30:36Hi.
30:37I saw you at the meeting.
30:38It's Katie.
30:39Yeah.
30:41I really enjoyed your speech the other night.
30:43It was really moving.
30:44That's very kind.
30:47I hope to see you again sometime.
30:50Sure.
31:03Can't move on.
31:04My job's shifting half an hour.
31:05I'm going as fast as I can.
31:07Who was that girl you were talking to?
31:09Someone at the SAFA meeting.
31:10She likes you.
31:12She just brought in some decorations.
31:14Something she just brought decorations.
31:15It's the way she just brought them.
31:17Just stop it, all right?
31:19Why didn't you ask her to the pictures?
31:21In one of your marathon walks in the country.
31:22Why do you think?
31:24I don't understand.
31:25I can tell how keen she was from up there.
31:27If Tom had what I had on my back, you wouldn't want to kiss him once.
31:32Let alone as much as you do.
31:33No girl would.
31:35That's not true.
31:36That's easy to say.
31:37You're right.
31:39I wouldn't want to kiss him once.
31:41I want to kiss him a thousand times for what you've been through.
31:44You're only saying that.
31:45Some girls might not want to be with you because you're injuries, but no girl worth her
31:49salt.
31:50Certainly no girl worth you.
32:01Welcome home, Cavalier.
32:03Stay on your present course and listen out for our signal.
32:06Repeat.
32:07Hold your course and listen out for our signal.
32:10Over.
32:21I escaped prosecution.
32:25I can't tell you how relieved I am.
32:27But at the cost of cancelling our contracts and closing the factory for good.
32:34Yes.
32:37You knew.
32:39I have a contact in the police who telephoned me this morning.
32:45What do you mean you have a contact within the police?
32:48The same contact who encouraged me to bring the Lyons brothers into the factory.
32:54Knowing they were criminals.
32:56Because they were criminals.
32:58What on earth are you talking about?
33:00I was given an assurance that the Lyons brothers wouldn't be able to harm the business in the long term.
33:04And assurances turned out to be worthless.
33:07How did you become involved with the police?
33:10How?
33:10How?
33:12Oh.
33:14I'm...
33:15I made a single mistake.
33:18Then spiralled into another mistake.
33:20And now into the loss of this factory.
33:23The jobs of everyone who worked here.
33:25My reputation.
33:26While you walk away scot-free.
33:30I can assure you that that isn't the case.
33:32My conscience weighs heavily upon you.
33:34Extremely.
33:35I have lost everything.
33:38Everything.
33:42Every single thing.
33:45First through Peter.
33:48And now through you.
33:58I have to get back.
33:59It's a wedding.
34:00After what you've done.
34:03How you can show your face in public is utterly beyond me.
34:27You're looking for something?
34:29My book?
34:31Mrs Miniver.
34:32I thought it was in my bag.
34:34I took it back to the library when I banked the cheque.
34:38I haven't finished it.
34:40I thought you should start to read the books that I like to read.
34:43Then we can discuss them.
34:45Together.
34:47Why we used to.
34:49I can't have you choosing which books I read, Bob.
34:54I'm gonna get ready for the wedding.
34:56I suggest you do the same.
34:58I show the village what a bona fide illiterary couple looks like, eh?
35:15Oh.
35:16Where's Claire?
35:17Putting the finishing touches to the hall.
35:19Meeting her at the church.
35:20Do you want to play with us?
35:22After the wedding, I'd love to.
35:24I'll be ready to leave in 15 minutes.
35:49Just, er, just see if you need to rest.
35:53I'm fine.
36:03Did you wait?
36:04Ready.
36:10Bye loving you.
36:11Hey, Dean.
36:16Lord Wingo.
36:16Hey, Dean.
36:20Bye.
36:23Dr. FTC St- It's here, 15 minutes.
36:32Wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife to live together after God's ordinance in
36:42the holy estate of matrimony?
36:44Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her, and forsaking all other, keep thee
36:51only unto her so long as ye both may live?
36:55I will.
36:57Wilt thou have this man as thy wedded husband to live together after God's ordinance in the
37:05holy estate of matrimony?
37:07Wilt thou obey him and serve him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, and forsaking
37:17all other, keep thee only unto him so long as ye both may live?
37:35I will.
37:41Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?
37:45Who?
37:47Who?
37:47Then shall they give their troth to each other in this man.
37:50God has to be come.
37:53I, Nicholas, take thee, Teresa, to have and to hold from this day for me for better.
38:05Bring her in for the surgery.
38:07All right?
38:08I'll take that.
38:14All right, Miriam.
38:15Very good.
38:19It's fine.
38:20Just breathe.
38:21Yes, yes.
38:22Breathe.
38:23Oh.
38:29I'm right here, Miriam.
38:32Right here.
38:51I don't want you thinking you have to avoid me because you telephoned him.
38:55I thought it was the right thing to do.
38:58I'm sorry.
38:59But it's being resolved.
39:02I'm glad.
39:05Funny thing what love can do, take a little look at me.
39:11Yesterday I was so blue, blue as I would be blue sea.
39:15Now I've seen whistling a tune, all of them live long day.
39:22If you want to know just why, I could truthfully say.
39:28I'm not feeling about who was something she said.
39:34I'm not feeling about who was something she said.
39:48Do you, er, do you want another drink?
39:51No, Bob.
39:54I want another life.
39:57What did you just say?
39:58I've had enough.
40:00Yeah, I think you probably have.
40:01Of you.
40:02I'm going to leave.
40:03Leave?
40:06You're going to leave me when I'm on the verge of success.
40:09I don't want any part of it.
40:11Sit down.
40:19Where were you thinking of going?
40:23To Marek?
40:30Go on then, Bob.
40:31Be quick.
40:33He's leaving him there.
40:35Ten minutes.
40:37I would say approximately.
40:39Do you know how fastidious the military is about timekeeping?
40:42How do you know?
40:45From the horse's mouth.
40:49I followed you until I finally caught you whoring after that chick bastard.
40:55I knew all this time.
40:57So much of life is about timing, Patricia.
41:00You're sick.
41:01Sick of your disloyalty.
41:04Sick to the back teeth of being disrespected by an ungrateful bitch of a wife.
41:09Ungrateful?
41:10What have I got to be grateful for, Bob?
41:12The incessant put-downs.
41:14The constant disregard.
41:16The jealousy towards anything that takes me away from the house.
41:19How shall I be grateful for the violence knocking me back into my place?
41:22Or the way you need to cajole every hour of my day?
41:26So that I feel more like a slave than anything resembling a wife?
41:30Marek is worth ten of you.
41:32To a hundred.
41:34A thousand.
41:38Ungrateful.
41:41Please let me go.
41:43Never, never.
41:50You're not the man you were.
41:53Only me.
42:24Tumley Wood to Tower 9.
42:26Please report.
42:30Anything?
42:34Not yet.
42:35Come in, Clover.
42:38Come in, Clover.
42:40Come in, Clover.
42:46You're doing brilliantly, Mim!
42:49I can see the crowd, Miriam.
42:50Keep pushing.
42:51They...
42:52They can see the crowd, Mim!
42:55I'm in labour, not death!
42:58Everything is going terribly well, Bryn.
43:01And Miriam is in very good hands.
43:03But it has been suggested that your encouragements through the door are proving an unwelcome distraction.
43:10So if I may suggest that you make yourself comfortable in the front room, and I will come and fetch
43:15you the minute your presence is required.
43:17I'm simply lending my support, Mrs. Cameron.
43:20But very loudly.
43:24You... you come and get me the moment it's out.
43:26The moment it's out.
43:37Control to Clover.
43:39Do you read me, please?
43:45Yes.
43:46I'll get the distance elevation.
43:47OK.
43:48Uh...
43:51Christ, he's coming in love.
43:55Come in, Clover.
43:57Come in, Clover.
44:12Come in!
44:14Come in, Clover!
44:19Come in!
44:27Come in!
44:42I don't know.
45:07I don't know.
45:33I don't know.
46:05I don't know.
46:18I don't know.
46:31I don't know.
