04:10Come in!
04:10Oh, Blake!
04:11They were ready to surrender anyway, I think.
04:14You think, but you don't know, do you?
04:17And can we have you all together without politics, please?
04:20Starting from when your father and Blake come home for their dinners.
04:23Can we, please?
04:24For you.
04:25For you.
04:25Even that.
04:26There's something I want to tell you before they all come in.
04:29We don't want you picking it up somewhere else.
04:33Something that happened when the war was on.
04:35When we thought Owen was dead.
04:36Jean met somebody.
04:38Is that what you're trying to say?
04:39Who told you?
04:40Nobody told me.
04:42I came home on leave one weekend and she was going out somewhere.
04:45I thought then, hello, she's got a bloke.
04:48There was something new about her.
04:50She was more alive.
04:52I was very glad for her.
04:54Yes.
04:54We were too.
04:55When we got used to the idea.
04:57He worked at the farm, always.
04:59He's gone now, of course.
05:01He went before Owen got back.
05:02Whether he's still at the camp, I don't know.
05:04The camp?
05:06For displaced people up the coast?
05:09She's well rid then.
05:10They were Ukrainians.
05:12They fought against the Allies for the Germans when Russia was on our side.
05:16We liked him.
05:17He was a good man.
05:18I take people as I find them.
05:20It's over now and we don't want Owen to know.
05:23That's why I'm telling you.
05:24Do you understand?
05:34Hello, Mark.
05:37Owen.
05:41By heck, how long have you had this?
05:44Long enough to wish I'd never seen the damn thing.
05:46I blew the last of my de mob money on it.
05:49Trouble with the timing, I think.
05:51Other things apart.
05:53I'm on my way to your place for the Whid Holiday.
05:55You're not going home?
05:57Mum's in London.
05:58Dad's still in America.
06:00Roz is floating around Scotland somewhere.
06:02Where's home?
06:03Mum's making a big day of it tomorrow.
06:06All of us home together for the first time in civvies.
06:09Oh, hell.
06:10I'm going to be in the way, aren't I?
06:11Nay.
06:12She likes a full house, does Mum.
06:15Any road.
06:15You're one at family now, so to speak, aren't you?
06:20Could you crank it while I fiddle around inside?
06:23I reckon I can manage that.
06:26And keep your fingers crossed.
06:31Is that right?
06:35Where's Lovett today?
06:37He's gone fishing.
06:37Took sandwiches with him.
06:39I wanted to go fishing but he won't take me.
06:41Well, he can't watch you and the fish.
06:44You fell in last time just as he got a bite.
06:46He's accident-prone, aren't you, cop?
06:49Must you gollop your food?
06:51This family.
06:52I don't know what Mark must think of us.
06:54Oh, I think you're lovely.
06:56Oh, so we're lovely, are we?
06:58I must have me wrong glasses on.
07:00We look a damned awful lot through these.
07:03Trust you.
07:03Sorry, Mum, but I promised Mark I'd look at his car for him before I go back to work.
07:07Yeah, you better be on time today.
07:09It's togetherness day everywhere except at the Ironworks.
07:11They're on the lookout for that sort of thing there to stamp it out in case it spreads.
07:16Watch it, Dad. There's a Warrington in the camp.
07:18Sorry, Mark.
07:19Well, I don't enjoy working for my family any more than you do, as a matter of fact.
07:22You obviously get time off for special occasions.
07:25They call that nepotism.
07:27I didn't know you were celebrating.
07:28I got off early because of the holidays.
07:31The rest are still hard at it.
07:32Not their loyal white collar workers, surely.
07:35Everybody keeps their noses down when there's holiday in the oven.
07:38Even the lackeys on the staff.
07:42Do you mind saying that again, Keir?
07:44Keir?
07:45Sorry.
07:46I apologise.
07:47Your apology's not accepted.
07:49You've just insulted Dad, not me.
07:51He's staff.
07:52I'm one of your proletariat.
07:54A potential dictator according to your Marxist philosophy.
07:56I get my hands dirty.
07:57When you get your back into a job and do the same,
08:00you'll make you in a position to take up the arguments.
08:02You're right. I can defend myself, Blake.
08:05Keir was just using jargon.
08:08It's to imply that we're lackeys from choice.
08:12I've always looked at myself as a worker.
08:14Earning a living in the system to bring up a family as best I can.
08:18I didn't make the system, Keir.
08:21And I want something better in its place. Not yours, though.
08:24Not out of the frying pan into the fire.
08:25You're down right there.
08:28Dad!
08:29We're all together again, by God.
08:31Please!
08:32All right.
08:33I retract.
08:35Satisfied.
08:35I would be if you meant it honestly, but you don't do your care.
08:38Oh, come on.
08:39What do you know about you?
08:40I said it now!
08:54I did a lovely cook, you know.
08:56You think your ma would die?
08:58I did your dad.
08:59Well, I noticed your plates on this, please.
09:00Oh, yes.
09:01And they're not, you know.
09:02Like Jack's crap.
09:17They're just words dad. Just words.
09:27But you know what words can lead to.
09:31Better than any of us don't you lad?
09:45Ernst?
09:52Mrs. Galway told me you were here.
09:57They lost their man.
10:01Mr. Galway asked the camp for a man.
10:05He did not know that they would send me.
10:09I'd go back after the holiday.
10:14I promised Mrs. Galway I would not speak with you.
10:18I promised too.
10:21Right Mark, for half an hour or so, shall we give it a run?
10:24I don't want to make you late.
10:25I don't want to fire me.
10:26Think they can find somebody better.
10:27Let them.
10:28I'm no fan they expect me to pull me guts out for them for down my fence.
10:31Can you drop me at the library?
10:32I'm going to be later.
10:33I will be if you don't.
10:34And don't forget your father's books or he'll have nothing to read over the holiday.
10:38Oh, all left wing book club titles as usual.
10:41Do you know, they call me Peg the Red at library headquarters.
10:43He's more to be pitied than blamed.
10:45You've left half your dinner on your chin, Grandad.
10:47Just in case I get hungry later.
10:49I don't know why Mark comes here, I don't really.
10:51So it's Ella.
10:52Oh, shut up.
10:53I'll see to this lot.
10:55Go on, off you go.
10:56He thinks we're lovely.
10:58Can you make head a tail of it, young Carl?
11:00No, Grandad.
11:02Here he is.
11:04Where are they then?
11:05What?
11:06Fish, of course.
11:07I didn't catch any.
11:08They'll be the big and that got away, though.
11:10The shoes that's always letting the big and so, Grandad.
11:12You've eaten your sandwiches, I suppose.
11:14Aye.
11:15I'm hungry.
11:15Well, get a plate and help yourself out of there.
11:19I'm going back after.
11:20Can I come with you?
11:21It's too dangerous for you.
11:23There I go.
11:24I'll take your fishing if you want.
11:28I've got me boots to finish.
11:30I wouldn't mind a bit of fishing.
11:33Your dad's been up half the night.
11:35He should go to bed.
11:37You'll go your Uncle Keir then, will you?
11:39Yes.
11:41He'll need his Wellingtons.
11:42They're in the cupboard in jeans in your room.
11:47Go on.
11:48Go on.
11:48Go with your old man and get kitted out.
12:02Well, I love it.
12:04You catch anything?
12:05No.
12:05Well, you see how he shrinks from him.
12:08Why?
12:12When Owen used to come into this kitchen before the war, it was like a wind blowing in.
12:16He needs time.
12:18He needs time.
12:18That's all.
12:19Just time.
12:21It's great.
12:23You're a magician.
12:25I am to teeny you.
12:27I've got love.
12:28Seek help!
12:29Seek help!
12:31Seek help!
12:32Seek help!
12:33Just go easy.
12:33Let it finish up on the bonnet.
12:35There's smoke coming out of our house.
12:38Where?
12:38The house above the Galways farm.
12:40Smoke coming out of the chimney.
12:42I thought you meant the place was on fire.
12:43Yeah, I see it.
12:45Get a vision on the RT.
12:46Give them the barracks.
12:47They're supposed to be away for wit.
12:49A vision away for wit?
12:50God, God.
12:51Could be Jerry held up there, Carruthers.
12:53We'd better go and check, I suppose.
12:55I'll drop you back at work if you'll get back in the car.
13:00There's no need to give me a lift back.
13:02You'll be late.
13:03I've given five years of my life for this bloody country.
13:06I may be able to find out what my credit is.
13:08I'll see if Gene's ready for a lift back.
13:11Pick me up on your way back.
13:12Right.
13:14Won't be long.

19:20oh my religion
19:21that old thing

20:54you were in germany during the war
20:56we were in contact with the russians in the last few days
20:59we pulled back to let them move into a place we'd occupied
21:03i left someone there i cared for

39:59dad knows nothing of people like your father who worked for him
40:04i came here on a school trip once
40:07i looked at all the big houses

40:14it scares me a bit
40:16you belonging to all this
40:19i don't
40:20not at all
40:23that's why i brought you here to show you

40:32not places
40:35alien people then
40:39what on earth did they do to you to make you feel like that
40:41nothing
40:47they did nothing
41:09galways are disappointed in us

41:15i am ashamed

41:21you should know that if anybody does
41:37is this what you brought me to see
41:38no of course not

41:49i'm on speaking terms
41:50who's that
41:53my father
42:06what's up
42:21you food
42:24We've all gone out for a walk.
42:26You were asleep. I said I'd stay and keep you company.
42:31Some company may sleep.
42:37I'm sorry I'm so spiky these days.
42:45How are you making out down in London?
42:50Oh.
42:51Mum's asked you to talk to me, has she?
42:55Yes.
42:56But, uh, I care as well, you know.
43:02I'm a big lad. I'm supposed to take care of myself.
43:05I can give you years, but there's scarcely a week goes by
43:08when I don't feel like shouting for help.
43:15What, uh...
43:17What sort of future do you see for yourself?
43:24Me, or the race, the species.
43:28There's not much for any of us after the atom bomb.
43:31Oh, I know the political answers.
43:34Oh, I think I do.
43:35But I can't see them coming about.
43:39Yeah, well, I've always believed in evolution myself.
43:42Revolution is a destructive force.
43:45I was going to say, uh,
43:47look what happened to the Russians,
43:49but then, uh,
43:50you support the Russians, don't you?
43:52Yes, I do, by and large.
43:54All through the war,
43:56I could see it happening.
43:57There were the good old Russians then,
43:59knocking the jerrys for six.
44:02All right.
44:02It's all changing now.
44:04Bevan's going to break with them.
44:05I know he is.
44:07There's a nice age coming.
44:08His fault or theirs.
44:12No, I don't see things like you do.
44:15We're, uh...
44:16I mean, look how marvellous Attlee's turned out to be.
44:19The work, the legislation.
44:20Huh?
44:21Oh, it's fantastic.
44:23We're turning the corner.
44:24I felt it all this year.
44:26I can see a light at the end of the tunnel.
44:29Somebody lighting the fuse.
44:31You're an optimist.
44:33Well, that's so much I've always agreed with Churchill about.
44:36I don't see much point in being anything else.
44:41Well, what about you, anyway?
44:44Tell me, Mum.
44:45I'm all right.
44:48Yes, I'll tell her that,
44:49but it'll not be true, though, will it?
44:52But you can tell me, you know.
44:54I can bear it.
44:55Well, I'm an optimist, aren't I?
44:57I packed the job in before I came home.
45:08Look, I've never been too sure what sort of job you were doing.
45:13I've never liked to bother you about it somehow.
45:16Oh, there'll be something else when I get back.
45:19Some other piffling work to keep the wolf two feet from the door.
45:24Look, I've got a bit put by that'll help until you get fixed up.
45:27Oh, Christ.
45:30God, Dad, you've already done more for us than any of us deserve,
45:33so just drop the load, Dad.
45:35It's a father's instinct to do what he can.
45:39I can't go against me, nature.
45:50There is no future, Jean.
45:53It's happened, hasn't it?
45:54What they said might happen a long time ago,
45:56but it was just rumours then.
45:58They're sending you back to Russia.
46:02Rumours?
46:04They shoot everyone who fought for the Germans, don't they?
46:08There are just rumours, Jean.
46:09It's not just rumours, it's the truth, isn't it?
46:13What kind of life do you think?
46:15I'll live with that to remember.
46:23We've come a long way.
46:24The tide's going out.
46:36I want you to live on, to forget.
46:41Forget?
46:43Forget?
46:43Very well, then.
46:44Remember, as I do.
46:47I remember my mother and my father and my sisters and my brothers.
46:52Who is dead and who lives, I do not know.
46:54But I, I remember them living when I was young.
47:01I did not think too much about politics,
47:04about the possibility of war, about death even.
47:06I can't live like that.
47:10Sometimes it is all the life there is.
47:42Where are they?
47:44Dad's taken her to see the library.
47:47She seems to have taken a liking to him.
47:49Is that why you're looking so gloomy?
47:51She likes everybody.
47:53She lives for the day.
47:54Who doesn't?
47:55There's a reason in her case.
47:57She had rheumatic fever when she was small.
47:59Left her with a dicky heart.
48:01Oh, I'm sorry.
48:04Forgive me yet for telling her we're Catholics.
48:06That's another problem.
48:07For her?
48:08For me, mostly.
48:10Doubts and uncertainties?
48:12I'm not confessing to you.
48:14She's not going to wait forever, you know.
48:16I do know, thanks.
48:17Well, there you are.
48:19Peg's going to sort out the library for me.
48:21I've been promising myself I'd have a catalogue for the best part of 20 years.
48:24You've got some absolute gems in there.
48:26Yes, I know.
48:27Mark used to spend a lot of his time there on the school holidays, didn't you?
48:30Yes.
48:31That's where I used to spend my time.
48:37I see you've got the old steam launch out.
48:38Yes, I've got a man from the yard working on it.
48:40Can't make a head of tail of the engine, though.
48:43Peg's brother would soon fix it for you.
48:45He's a magician with engines.
48:46Out of a job at the moment, too.
48:47A magician with engines?
48:48Out of a job?
48:49An unemployment the lowest has been for years?
48:52One of our blokes at the works fired him yesterday.
48:55Blake fired himself.
48:57Do you want me to look into it?
48:58Heavens no.
48:59Mark's embarrassed, but he doesn't have to be.
49:02Blake's far too bright for a job like that.
49:04Oh, I'm not knocking your ironworks or anything,
49:06but he really did want to get himself fired.
49:09He was getting in a rut.
49:11Besides, as if we could ill afford to lose him.
49:13Do you think you could ask him to look at that engine for me?
49:16Yes, I'll ask him.
49:18I think it's time we were off.
49:20We've only just come.
49:22The lights aren't too good on that thing.
49:23I'd like to get back before dark.
49:26Bye-bye.
49:27Goodbye.
49:28Bye, Peg.
49:29Bye, Mark.
49:34We should go back now.
49:42The tide was coming in, not going out.
49:45If that's all the life there is, I don't want it.
49:50Come.
49:51I don't want it.
49:52Come!
49:53I don't want it.
49:54Leave me.
49:54No.
50:08I want to go back.
50:11We've not long come out.
50:12I want Mum.
50:14Oh, you can put up with me for a bit longer, can't you?
50:17I want Mum!
50:17Come on.
50:26Amen.
50:37I want to go.
50:38I want to.
50:41We'll have to go back now.
50:41Come on!
50:42Come on.
50:45I want to go.
50:46Let's go.
