00:12Sydney Chambers. I just knew it was you. She was admiring you like you were a Botticelli.
00:18Just like we used to when you picked up Jen from school. Lillian even held her breath once and
00:22managed to faint. You carried her to Matron. We were beyond jealous. You don't remember.
00:29I'm sorry. Amanda Kendall. Of course. Of course, Amanda. It's been a long time. Years. Before
00:39the war. Must be. You look... Older. Wiser, hopefully. Different. No pigtails. Morning, Miss
00:50Kendall. Morning, Albert. Do you work here? Restoration. And you. Look at you.
00:59Who'd have thought it ain't? Who'd have thought? She's down in the dumps. So would you be if
01:09you're married to him. I think you forgot to put his teeth in this morning. I think she
01:12knows where they are and she has no intention of telling him. I'm never getting married.
01:23I don't believe that for a second. I'm going to become wild and eccentric and full of opinion.
01:29I'm sure you have an endless of blood suitors. Dad's always got someone lined up. I like my
01:34work. I like my life. You're a man of God. How about if you disapprove of any of them,
01:42you have the power of veto? What if I disapprove of all of them?
01:46Well, you won't be the only one. I know I do.
01:52We should do this again.
01:54We should. We shall. Next week, we'll go to the theatre.
01:59Toffee apples. We'll have toffee apples.
02:02Toffee apples.
02:09You may kiss me if you like.
02:16Next week then.
02:18Next week.
02:23Amanda Kendall.
02:25Sydney Chambers.
02:53Sidney.
02:57Archdeacon, I hope this isn't a bad time.
03:00A hungry chicken waits for no man.
03:04You're having a crisis of faith.
03:06God isn't the problem.
03:07Crisis of self, then.
03:09Sometimes I worry about the kind of man I'm becoming.
03:13Good Lord, don't we all?
03:18But I've behaved in ways I'm not proud of.
03:20Leaving your highly inexperienced curate to hold a fort?
03:25Criminal investigations?
03:28Women?
03:29One of them distinctly German?
03:35A friend of mine's getting married, and I can't seem to be happy for them.
03:39It just goes to show you're as human as the rest of us.
03:42No, it's not just that.
03:44Sydney, the race is not always to the swift or the battle to the strong.
03:48I've said that before.
03:50Many, many times.
03:52My job is to make sure those in my charge take a long view of life.
03:58That's what I'm trying to do.
03:59My advice would be to hold your nerve.
04:02Hold a steady course.
04:04And if I don't feel I can?
04:05Well, there's always academia.
04:07Be a bloody shame, then.
04:15We're your search party.
04:18I've only been gone an hour.
04:19It's nearly three.
04:21Mrs. M kept count.
04:24I have a theory, if you'd be willing to hear it.
04:26All these investigations, they force you to think about life in a manner that's contrary to who you are.
04:33Your faith, your character.
04:36It's unsettled you.
04:39I'm fine.
04:42Look, I know people think I'm ridiculous.
04:45No one thinks you're ridiculous.
04:47Oh, they do.
04:47I don't mind, really.
04:49I know how it feels when the black dog comes calling.
04:53And I'm not talking about Dickens.
04:56What I'm trying to say, and very badly, as it happens,
05:00I'm always here if you need someone to listen.
05:05You're going to make an excellent priest, Leonard.
05:12From the Archdeacon.
05:14Eggs?
05:14With his compliments.
05:16He summonsed you.
05:18He didn't summons me.
05:20Someone's been telling tales.
05:22Mr. Brandt.
05:22It's always Mr. Brandt.
05:24The old miser.
05:25They're trying to edge you out.
05:26I will not let them do it.
05:33Tea at the orchard.
05:35I completely forgot.
05:36It doesn't matter.
05:38I am so sorry.
05:39I don't mind, Sidney.
05:41No, you should.
05:42You should mind.
05:43I...
05:47You worry too much.
05:56What is it?
05:58The night with the jazz singer?
05:59The rich ones in pending nuptials?
06:01It's Hildegard.
06:02What is it with you and women?
06:04It's a mess.
06:05That's what it is.
06:06They fall at your feet.
06:08Even my Cathy thinks you're a catch.
06:11I should tell her.
06:12Who?
06:13Hildegard.
06:14I'm going to tell her.
06:15Good.
06:16Excellent.
06:17What's stopping you?
06:18What's stopping you from doing it right now?
06:20Now shut up for five minutes.
06:26Cathy thinks I'm a catch, does she?
06:28Don't you go getting any ideas?
06:31Don't you go getting any ideas.
06:31I'm not here.
06:33I'm in the pub.
06:33Jones has been shot.
06:42Jesus.
06:51May God our Father have mercy on you, forgive all your sins and give you a place in glory.
06:56and the blessing of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
07:00be with you now and be returned.
07:07Now get off me.
07:08Get off me!
07:10She was touting for business up 20 yards away.
07:12I didn't see nothing.
07:14That's a double negative, Annie.
07:15Just tell us what you saw and you can go.
07:17Buggy yourself sideways, Geordie.
07:20Oh, you're hurting me.
07:21Get off me.
07:23Geordie!
07:25I remember you.
07:26I remember you too, Annie.
07:28Well, how's about that?
07:29You must have been terrified.
07:31I'll only talk to him.
07:34Give me a minute.
07:36See, they fall at your bloody feet.
07:41He will make sure you're protected.
07:43I ain't no fool.
07:45That's a double negative, by the way.
07:48No one's going to protect me.
07:49No one gives a damn.
07:50I give a damn.
07:53They were talking.
07:55The copper and the man who shot him.
07:57So they knew each other?
07:58He was asking him some questions about a mate they had in common.
08:01And then he pulls out a gun.
08:02A mate?
08:04Did you hear anything else?
08:06A name?
08:08Merlin.
08:10Merlin.
08:11That's what it sounded like.
08:14Jonesy just got married last year.
08:16Got pissed at their wedding.
08:18Betty.
08:19Her name is.
08:20She's a nice girl.
08:25Maybe Merlin's her nickname or...
08:27I don't know.
08:31You'll get who did this, Geordie.
08:33Put in a word with the fellow upstairs, would you?
08:38Merlin.
08:49That wasn't the name of his mate.
08:50It's where he works.
09:05What are we looking for?
09:07Well, Jonesy.
09:08The shooter, their mate.
09:11We find the connection, we find our man.
09:14I want the name of every fellow that works here.
09:17How do we find that?
09:18I don't know.
09:20Ah, you love me, really.
09:22I wouldn't be so sure.
09:35Geordie!
09:54Did you hear that?
10:05Oh, God.
10:09Geordie.
10:11Geordie.
10:14Geordie.
10:14Geordie.
10:15Geordie.
10:15Geordie.
10:20Oh.
10:32Ah.
10:36Oh.
10:36What do you mean?
10:37Heart.
10:38Stay down.
10:41Stay down.
10:51I've got you.
10:53I don't want to die.
10:55You're not going to die.
10:59You are not going to die.
11:02Sorry, you can't come any further.
11:15Sidney?
11:17Oh, Sidney!
11:21Will you pray for him?
11:24We can pray together, if you like.
11:27I'm not really the praying sort.
11:30When David was poorly,
11:33and he was so small,
11:35oh, I did then.
11:38I won't let him leave us, Sidney.
11:41Sidney, he is not leaving us.
11:46Mrs Keating,
11:47Chief Inspector Benson,
11:50is there anything I can tell the boys?
11:55We'll get the bastard.
11:56I promise you that.
12:01What was he doing on his own?
12:07He wasn't.
12:11I was with him.
12:14Playing the cops and robbers, were you?
12:17Oh, just a silly jake, eh?
12:36So, you're the vicar I hear tell of,
12:39Keating's talisman.
12:40What does he do, rub your head for luck?
12:42Mr Chambers provides religious advice.
12:45Let me provide you with some police advice.
12:48There is a nutcase murdering my men.
12:51Get out from under our feet.
12:53It's not your men he's killing.
12:55It wasn't Geordie he was after.
12:56It was the man in the factory.
12:58The caretaker.
12:59The dead man.
13:00Keating just got in the way, is that it?
13:02There is some connection between Jonesy,
13:04the caretaker.
13:06Some other reason.
13:07Geordie was convinced of it.
13:11Piss off back to church, Mr Chambers.
13:39I know you're troubled, Sydney.
13:42I know you have nightmares.
13:45But you must know that God is looking over us.
13:50I won't hear any nonsense about this being your fault.
13:56If we'd have never gone there.
13:57If you'd never met him in the first place.
14:00If, if, if.
14:01You can't live your life like that.
14:03You once said the wisest thing to me.
14:06It's life we deal in.
14:08The good, the bad.
14:10It's how we face it that matters.
14:13The police are wrong.
14:15They'll be looking in the wrong place.
14:19Sydney.
14:21My boy.
14:24Tell us how we can help you.
14:33This is not acceptable.
14:34I've been waiting a long time.
14:36Take a seat, please, madam.
14:37I've been robbed.
14:39This woman is my mother and she's been robbed.
14:41I heard her.
14:42Have a seat.
14:43Snatched my handbag right off my arm.
14:46I have two bob in there.
14:47Two bob in my mother's handbag.
14:48And my knitting.
14:49She was knitting a scarf.
14:50I want to speak to your superior.
14:53Sit down, please, madam.
14:58Oh, dear.
14:59Mrs. Maguire.
15:00Oh, no.
15:01Mum.
15:01Mum.
15:01I mean, Mum.
15:02Mother.
15:03Mum.
15:05Mum.
15:06Madam.
15:07Is she all right?
15:09Mother.
15:10Mother.
15:11What?
15:23Mother.
15:24Mother.
15:29Mother.
15:30Mother.
15:31Mother.
15:34Mother.
15:35Mother.
15:36Mother.
15:39Mother.
15:40Mother.
15:41Mother.
15:41Mother.
15:42Mother.
15:44Mother.
15:46Mother.
15:52Hi.
15:53Old dear having some sort of fit?
15:56Oh, for pity's sake.
16:06My mother has a very delicate constitution.
16:16I feel so much better now.
16:20My mother feels so much better now, so.
16:41You should have been on stage, Mrs M.
16:43I should have done a great many things.
16:45Did you find what you were looking for?
16:48Mr Chambers?
17:02Do whatever it is you have to do.
17:08Great Eastern Street.
17:10The bomb site.
17:13All council house.
17:15Our complaints, of course.
17:17Too modern, too ugly.
17:19Too full of the working classes.
17:22Absolutely.
17:24So, you're taking Jonesy's funeral?
17:28Yes.
17:29And I understand you're footing the bill?
17:33Well, it's the least I could do.
17:35Poor bastard spends five years defending his country.
17:37Ends up getting shot in a suburban street.
17:39Barely makes sense, does it?
17:41Band of brothers.
17:43People bandied that phrase around, but we really were.
17:47Closer than brothers.
17:49So you served together?
17:52I was his commanding officer.
17:53We were in Italy.
17:55Germany, near the end.
17:57We were some of the first to liberate Belson.
18:01Thomas Langshaw.
18:06Did he serve under you, too?
18:09Yes, he did.
18:11Why?
18:14He was killed last night.
18:18Darling, what do you think?
18:20I know you like the blue, but this is mob becoming, wouldn't you say?
18:24Oh, sorry.
18:26Uh, where the blue?
18:28I just want to look my best for you.
18:30Where the blue, Grace?
18:33They were shot.
18:35Both of them.
18:38Who's been shot?
18:39I'm sure the police are dealing with it.
18:41Who's been shot, James?
18:49Two men from your squad.
18:52Why would anyone want to kill them?
18:55Funny.
18:56Jones never struck me as the type to have a vicar.
18:59Well, everyone has a vicar.
19:00It's whether they choose to use them or not.
19:02Please pass on my condolences to the family.
19:05If the police had a list, names of your men,
19:09perhaps they could do something.
19:12Perhaps they could warn them.
19:14See Mr. Chambers, huh?
19:28Are you family?
19:30I'm a friend.
19:32Is he alive?
19:33Tell me that much at least.
19:34He hasn't woken yet.
19:36Until he does, we won't know much more.
19:38Sorry.
19:51I don't want to die.
19:55I don't want to die.
19:55Oh, my God.
19:56No problem.
20:03Oh, my God.
20:29I need to see you. I had to see you.
20:40How are the wedding plans? Fine. Fine. Good. This Saturday? Yes, this Saturday. What do you want, Sidney? Mandy, your
20:50guests are here. I'll be right in. You haven't even spoken to the partners. I will. What are people going
20:55to think? Just give me a minute.
21:04Let's go on the river. Let's have a picnic. Another time. I'll come down to Grantchester. One of your little
21:11jaunts. What happened to her growing wild and eccentric and full of opinion? You're drunk.
21:20I exert my power of veto. Love is a minimum requirement, don't you think? There has to be some in
21:28a marriage or I'll help you stand.
21:31What is it that you want, Sidney? Tell me, what is it?
21:42Now is not the time. It was never the time. Yes, it was. It was.
21:52Let's get you outside, Sidney. Let's go. Better if I show you. How about that? I can manage. No, you
21:57can't.
21:58You forgot the same guy. Get rid of him. Yeah, absolutely. Sidney, I can manage. I can manage.
22:10I can manage. I can manage. Look.
22:18That's it. Let's go.
22:37Mr. Chambers, a word, please.
22:40What, Mr. Brandt? What could possibly be so important?
22:43Mr. Brandt, is this about the wisteria and the treasure?
22:47It's a menace.
22:48I don't suppose you could help us cut it back, would you?
22:52Well, I'll see what I can do.
22:55You'll wonder, Mr. Brandt.
23:02We could go and visit Cathy, if you like.
23:04Take something for the children.
23:13You drink more and more these days.
23:16My friend may die.
23:19But before then...
23:24I'm fine.
23:28I'm fine.
23:30Why do I feel like one man went to London and another one came home?
23:53Mrs. Heath?
23:56They're all there, all the men from my husband's squad.
23:58He doesn't know you're here.
24:01A few of them still live in the area, so it shouldn't be hard to find.
24:07You're welcome.
24:14You'd never think it to look at him, would you?
24:16If he'd been through all that.
24:20You saw the camps.
24:21You saw evil.
24:22After that, how did any of us expect anything to be normal again?
24:43They're all there.
24:43They're all he's wanted to bear!
24:45They were really hard.
24:45They're all I've always had when it was.
24:45They was just a heroic.
24:46You all am.
24:47They're all I've always had.
24:48They put him on his hand.
24:52They're all there.
24:54I'm happy.
24:55I can't wait.
24:55So, let's go.
25:12Robert Miller.
25:15Whoever's doing this, they're picking us off one by one, aren't they?
25:20I don't know for sure.
25:21That's what you reckon, though, isn't it?
25:23I believe you're all in danger.
25:26I don't think I've ever felt out of danger since we got home.
25:29When was that?
25:32It's 46.
25:35Me too.
25:39Seven years.
25:40No, my wife, she never asked what we did.
25:44I never told her.
25:46My sister, she asked.
25:48She wanted to understand.
25:52How can you explain?
25:54You saw some things.
25:56I did some things.
25:59We fought the Nazis.
26:01Felt like heroes.
26:04They moved us to Berlin to oversee things.
26:09Really, it felt like there was nothing to oversee.
26:13I spoke to James Heath.
26:16Oh, that man is a bully.
26:19What is it he's so afraid of me finding out?
26:27Spreenhagen.
26:29It's in the countryside outside Berlin.
26:33What happened there?
26:38My friend was shot, too.
26:41And if he wakes, I want him to know I've done everything I can.
26:47Ask him.
26:49Ask Heath what he did.
26:52Did you notice?
26:53Phoenix.
26:55That's what he calls his company.
26:58Some people rise from the ashes, don't they?
27:11Each with their own garden.
27:13Basic, but far quite from the conditions these people are used to.
27:18Excuse me.
27:24This is a private event.
27:26Sorry, it won't take a moment.
27:27It won't take any time at all.
27:29Supreme Hagen.
27:33What happened, Mr. Heath?
27:34Grace, call the police.
27:36Paul Jones is dead.
27:39Thomas Langshaw is dead.
27:40There's a reason you're being targeted.
27:42Darling, let's give you a drink.
27:43Call the police.
27:44Do it!
27:47I have nothing to hide.
27:50Let go of me.
27:50You are trespassing, Mr. Chambers.
27:52Let go of me.
27:57Is it naivety?
28:01Or is it sheer bloody-mindedness?
28:03Please, tell me.
28:05Because I'm failing to understand why you insist on interfering.
28:09I was trying to get to the truth.
28:10The truth?
28:12Mr. Heath is withholding information.
28:14He's a respected businessman with an alibi for both murders.
28:18His wife?
28:18Yes, his wife.
28:20She's petrified of him.
28:21Of course she gave an alibi.
28:23I'm pretty sure he beats her.
28:25She said as much, did she?
28:26She didn't have to.
28:28You won the truth.
28:29Here it is, Mr. Chambers.
28:32You are not a police officer.
28:35I never claimed to be.
28:40Get yourself a hobby, I don't know.
28:42Take up stamp collecting.
28:44Don't patronize me.
28:47You want me to put you in a cell, you arrogant little fit?
28:53Mr. Heath has chosen not to press charges.
28:57Against my advice, I hasten to add.
29:00You're free to go.
29:10What is Mr. Heath hiding?
29:12Did you ask him?
29:15He wasn't exactly forthcoming.
29:21He didn't bring any of it back with him.
29:26How can it touch some people and not others?
29:30I often wonder that myself.
29:34Well, my wife, she moved to her mother's a few weeks back.
29:38Said that I wasn't the man she married anymore.
29:41Couldn't even hold down a job.
29:44I don't sleep, you see.
29:45I have nightmares.
29:48I have nightmares, too.
29:54I know how painful it can be to think about the past.
29:58But if what happened in Berlin, in Spreenhagen,
30:02if it has any bearing on these deaths...
30:10Heath said they were trying to escape.
30:14Who?
30:15German soldiers.
30:17That's on your heads!
30:18POWs, three of them.
30:19They'd surrendered to us.
30:22Heath.
30:23The others.
30:25They never liked me.
30:27Said that I lacked moral fibre,
30:30that I was a coward,
30:31and this was my chance to prove them wrong.
30:34They're running away, see?
30:39Bitte nicht!
30:40Bitte nicht!
30:41Bastards are getting away!
30:44Do it, you puff!
30:46Stop snivelling and do it!
30:50Come on, Miller!
30:54Do it!
31:03No!
31:04No!
31:12They were young.
31:15Boys, really.
31:18The others, they just laughed at me.
31:21Tell the police.
31:23Nothing touches that man.
31:25Stand up to him.
31:26He's killing us,
31:27so we can't expose him.
31:28We can't ruin his perfect life.
31:31You are not a coward.
31:32It took courage to disobey his order.
31:35Don't let him get away with it.
31:40Will you come with me?
31:42Of course I will.
32:03Hurt.
32:07Hurt.
32:16What do I tell them?
32:18Tell them the truth
32:30What?
32:35It wasn't easy, it was you
32:54Operator
33:05Operator
33:19Put it down
33:22Put it down
33:24They don't remember
33:26Heath, Jones
33:27None of them remembered
33:29It meant nothing to them
33:30You can't know that
33:31They came home and they forgot
33:33Why can't I forget?
33:36You think you're the only one?
33:38They didn't care
33:39I remember, Robert
33:40Nobody cared
33:41That's why I did it
33:42I remember what I did
33:45I am not a coward
33:46I know you're not
33:48I am not a coward
33:51I understand
33:52No, no
33:54I do
33:56We live in the shadow of it
33:58All of us
33:59But we have a choice
34:00Don't we?
34:02You have a choice
34:05You can
34:07Stay in the shadow
34:09I know or you can live
34:17Let me talk to them
34:18I didn't mean to hurt you
34:20I know you didn't
34:21I can make them understand
34:22Your friend
34:23He wasn't supposed to be there
34:24I was just
34:25I know
34:27You must hate me
34:29I don't hate you
34:31I don't hate you
34:35You have a choice
34:37Robert
34:39We all do
34:48No, no
35:16No, no
35:32Sidney
35:38Let me get some
35:41No
35:58Did you pray for me?
36:02Of course I did
36:04Praying for an old heathen
36:07It worked, didn't it?
36:19Don't you ever do that to me again
36:26Thank you
36:32So we found him
36:34But he killed himself
36:37Coward's way out
36:39It was the war
36:41He couldn't forget
36:42That's no excuse
36:44Isn't it?
36:46We all have that cross to bear
37:03I killed one of my own men
37:08I said all clear
37:11We're clear
37:12We're clear
37:14I told them it was all clear
37:19But we'd missed the German
37:21And
37:25We told him to stay down
37:29But
37:29Get down
37:30But he was on his feet
37:31And
37:32The bullets
37:33They just
37:43I put my hand on his stomach
37:44But there was
37:46I'm sorry
37:48I'm sorry
37:49Sandy
37:49Sandy
37:50Sandy
37:52I want to go home
38:04I know
38:05Sandy
38:07I know
38:08I'm not
38:09I know
38:13I know
38:14I know
38:20Stay
38:25I know
38:27Stay
38:27Stay
38:29Stay
38:48I had no choice.
38:58He had written a letter to his sweetheart, but I never sent it, because it was covered
39:10in his blood.
39:17And I thought that no one should see that.
39:26You did what you had to do, Sidney.
39:32It's all any of us did.
39:45Very good.
39:46Excellent.
40:05When I was in London, I spent the night with a woman.
40:15What was her name?
40:20Gloria.
40:24I'm so sorry.
40:27Please believe me when I say that since I met you, you've kept me going.
40:35I let my husband do this to me.
40:40I won't let you do it, too.
40:45Everyone always needs me, but I need you.
41:10You want to pull the face?
41:11What happened?
41:16They took it down.
41:22I'm so sorry.
41:23I know.
41:24It was...
41:24I know.
41:26I know, Sidney.
41:31Nearly D-Day.
41:34Are you ready?
41:36I think so.
41:38I won't be there, I'm afraid.
41:40Something's come up at the church.
41:42You don't have to make excuses.
41:46Look at us both.
41:48Me getting married and you with old God.
41:54It was never meant to be, was it?
41:58We could never be.
42:02So...
42:04Thank you for showing me a way out of the shadows.
42:07No.
42:08You do speak in riddles sometimes.
42:12Well, for the good times, then.
42:14We have had fun, haven't we?
42:16We've had a riot.
42:19And we will again.
42:23We will.
42:43What will they replace it with, do you know?
42:45Something less dreary.
42:47I hope.
42:50I hope so.
42:53I hope so.
43:02I had to say goodbye.
43:05I just needed to say it, I think.
43:08We have a choice, don't we?
43:14We can live in the past.
43:17We can look forward.
43:22We can live now.
43:29We can live now.
43:49corner. That's the truth of it. All we can do is keep a long view. Hold a steady course.
44:03You're just going to get on with it. That's all you need to say.
44:09What are you doing to poor Leonard? Making him a princess.
44:13More of a prince, wouldn't you say?
44:16No. Definitely a princess. Oh, right. Don't go too far.
44:25Hear what? Don't go too far. We know you can hear us.
44:32They're a worry, aren't they? That's enough now. Just a few more. Come, Sid. No!
44:36No. So, she'll be married by now.
44:48She was out of my league. That's the truth of it.
44:53Maybe because you're in a league of your own, Sidney Chambers.
44:58Perhaps I should just accept that I'm married to the job.
45:01They're bollocks. How did I know you were going to say that?
45:03Don't worry. We'll find you a wife. Please, God, no.
45:06Why not? Because if you have anything to do with it, she'll be a fan of light opera.
45:10And there's nothing wrong with that.
45:12There's everything wrong with that.
45:15And it is, it is a glorious thing to be a pirate.
45:20Truly awful.
45:23We'll find you a girl who likes a bit of Beckett, then.
45:26Bechet, Geordie.
45:28It's Bechet.
45:32Bechet.
45:32Bechet.
45:35Bechet.
45:44Bechet.
45:47Bechet.
45:48Bechet.
45:49Bechet.
45:51Bechet.
45:53Bechet.
45:53Bechet.
45:54Bechet.
45:55Bechet.
45:57Bechet.
45:58Bechet.
45:58Bechet.
45:59Bechet.
45:59Bechet.
46:00Bechet.
46:00Bechet.
46:02Bechet.
46:02Bechet.
