00:01:15,842 --> 00:01:18,470
Alec thinks it's time we made a start.
2
00:01:18,812 --> 00:01:22,009
This is the second field telephone
we've seen this week.
3
00:01:22,115 --> 00:01:25,209
So, you're not the only one
who knows how to do it.
4
00:01:25,318 --> 00:01:28,719
-The only other one I know is Greg.
-You're so arrogant.
5
00:01:28,822 --> 00:01:31,757
Why do you always assume it's only
you and Greg who can do anything?
6
00:01:31,858 --> 00:01:36,352
Come on, if we're going to get to
Cumberland today, we must make a start.
7
00:02:04,491 --> 00:02:07,585
-Where the hell are they now?
-Hubert's gone shooting.
8
00:02:07,694 --> 00:02:09,662
Charles went to look at
that telephone shelter we spotted,
9
00:02:09,762 --> 00:02:10,786
Jenny's gone to find him.
10
00:02:10,897 --> 00:02:12,990
We should've left hours ago.
11
00:02:13,666 --> 00:02:15,031
Well, if we're just going to
follow these pylons
12
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:16,534
we're never going to see anything else.
13
00:02:16,636 --> 00:02:19,104
We don't need to see anything else.
14
00:02:20,573 --> 00:02:23,667
Well, we could stay here for
24 hours, see who mans that phone.
15
00:02:23,776 --> 00:02:27,872
We're supposed to be going to Scotland,
aren't we? To get the power switched on.
16
00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:29,972
Well, if we're going to be distracted
by every single thing
17
00:02:30,083 --> 00:02:32,176
that we notice on the way...
18
00:02:33,286 --> 00:02:35,254
What's that over there?
19
00:02:58,845 --> 00:03:00,403
Where's it come from?
20
00:03:00,513 --> 00:03:03,812
Blown off one of the pylons.
Don't know which one.
21
00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:14,255
Here. The same thing's written
on a bridge over there.
22
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,523
And I found a note
stuffed in an empty milk bottle.
23
00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:18,688
There.
24
00:03:23,703 --> 00:03:25,762
"Message for Charles V.
25
00:03:26,206 --> 00:03:30,643
"Greg is at Felbridge Army Camp,
East Riding. He needs you urgently."
26
00:03:44,457 --> 00:03:46,948
It doesn't say anything about Felbridge.
27
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:49,358
We have to go to Marley first.
28
00:03:50,930 --> 00:03:53,057
Oh, hey, Captain, that's 20 mile!
29
00:03:55,835 --> 00:03:57,996
So, it's a long walk.
30
00:04:02,208 --> 00:04:05,473
Well, I don't know if my feet
will last that long.
31
00:04:05,778 --> 00:04:07,939
All the more pickings for me.
32
00:04:08,715 --> 00:04:11,479
Well, you don't even know
what we're gonna find at this camp.
33
00:04:11,584 --> 00:04:13,984
Look, from what I heard that
blackguard Preston going on about,
34
00:04:14,087 --> 00:04:16,419
it'll be worth a few blisters.
35
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:21,484
Who wrote it?
36
00:04:21,594 --> 00:04:24,859
Somebody living around here,
I suppose. Has to be.
37
00:04:24,964 --> 00:04:26,864
Someone who knew
we were coming this way.
38
00:04:26,966 --> 00:04:29,696
Aye, either up the river
so we'd see it on the bridge
39
00:04:29,802 --> 00:04:32,100
or across the fields
so we'd see it on a pylon.
40
00:04:32,205 --> 00:04:34,765
Now, where is Felbridge? East Riding?
41
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:37,500
Agnes must be with him.
42
00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:39,737
CHARLES: No, Agnes is in Sloton Spencer
where I left her.
43
00:04:39,846 --> 00:04:43,509
Yes, but weeks ago.
You told her we were going to Scotland.
44
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:47,017
She must have found Greg and told him.
How else could he know?
45
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,386
Here it is, down below Bridlington,
on the east coast.
46
00:04:52,492 --> 00:04:54,483
Must be a hundred miles away.
47
00:04:54,761 --> 00:04:56,695
Oh, he really is organised
if he can send a message
48
00:04:56,796 --> 00:04:59,264
from a hundred miles away.
49
00:04:59,432 --> 00:05:03,129
Well, I suggest we find
whoever is in contact with him here.
50
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:05,968
Just so long as you don't expect me
to go to Felbridge.
51
00:05:06,072 --> 00:05:07,505
CHARLES: We'll be there
the day after tomorrow, Jenny.
52
00:05:07,607 --> 00:05:10,337
Yes, but by the time we get there,
he'll be somewhere else. He always is.
53
00:05:10,443 --> 00:05:12,638
Well, then there's that telephone
there as well.
54
00:05:12,745 --> 00:05:15,213
-Now, if Greg's fixed that...
-I'm sick and tired
55
00:05:15,315 --> 00:05:17,875
of hearing about this Greg character.
56
00:05:18,551 --> 00:05:21,952
And I'm sick and tired of these
everlasting changes of plan.
57
00:05:22,055 --> 00:05:25,252
I just want to know what
we're going to do, do it, and get home.
58
00:05:25,358 --> 00:05:28,384
-And so we'll get on, then.
-You want to go?
59
00:05:28,895 --> 00:05:31,921
-If you do.
-You're outnumbered, Charles.
60
00:05:32,965 --> 00:05:36,366
Maybe, but I am going to Felbridge,
61
00:05:37,236 --> 00:05:38,464
whether anyone wants to come or not.
62
00:05:38,571 --> 00:05:41,938
And as the horses are saddled,
I might as well go now.
63
00:05:42,041 --> 00:05:43,633
Charles.
64
00:05:46,012 --> 00:05:47,240
Charles.
65
00:05:49,449 --> 00:05:52,179
-Don't you even want to see him?
-Of course I do but...
66
00:05:52,285 --> 00:05:55,914
Do I have to persuade you?
If not, I don't want to waste my time.
67
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:59,219
Listen, if I really thought
he'd be there, I'd go.
68
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:08,699
Keep to the same route to Perthshire?
69
00:06:08,801 --> 00:06:10,564
-I suppose so.
-Good.
70
00:06:12,572 --> 00:06:14,733
And if I don't catch up with you,
Greg will.
71
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:16,934
(SCOFFS) That'll be the day.
72
00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:20,276
-Well, goodbye.
-Goodbye, Charles.
73
00:06:21,314 --> 00:06:24,283
Jenny, you take care.
74
00:06:32,525 --> 00:06:34,857
You couldn't have gone anyway.
75
00:06:34,961 --> 00:06:36,792
Your horse is lame.
76
00:06:37,263 --> 00:06:38,924
We'll be here for a few days yet.
77
00:07:10,863 --> 00:07:12,421
Anyone at home?
78
00:07:12,999 --> 00:07:14,694
(MIMICS CLUCKING)
79
00:07:24,143 --> 00:07:26,976
Kettle on the boil, nice warm fire.
80
00:07:27,947 --> 00:07:29,141
Suit us nicely.
81
00:07:29,248 --> 00:07:31,148
Depends who's living here.
82
00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:33,184
Why don't you go and have
a scout around?
83
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:35,914
I'll see what the grub situation is.
84
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:40,885
Hey, whoever it is might have a gun.
85
00:07:41,627 --> 00:07:44,027
Good. We could do with a gun.
86
00:07:50,837 --> 00:07:54,432
Hey! There's a big brass bed in here!
87
00:07:54,540 --> 00:07:57,771
-Room for both of us? Or just me?
-Both of us.
88
00:07:58,211 --> 00:08:00,805
Eh, that's if the owner doesn't mind.
89
00:08:03,716 --> 00:08:07,208
I don't think the old woman
will give us much trouble.
90
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:10,288
How do you know it's an old woman?
91
00:08:10,389 --> 00:08:12,880
Because she's on her way back now.
92
00:08:14,093 --> 00:08:15,492
Take a look.
93
00:08:27,306 --> 00:08:29,331
LES: They may have been here.
94
00:08:29,442 --> 00:08:33,276
Yeah, I'll let you know for sure
on tomorrow's call.
95
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:35,906
Okay.
96
00:08:36,415 --> 00:08:39,077
Say the message has been taken away.
97
00:08:40,052 --> 00:08:42,782
Right. Well, I'll disconnect now.
98
00:09:08,915 --> 00:09:12,043
We were hoping we'd see someone
using that phone.
99
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:16,814
I'm Jenny Richards and this is Hubert.
100
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:20,191
There are two more friends of ours
in a house down the road.
101
00:09:20,293 --> 00:09:21,885
Is Charles Vaughan one of them?
102
00:09:21,994 --> 00:09:24,019
Yes, he got a message
to go to Felbridge.
103
00:09:24,163 --> 00:09:27,690
Yes, I left it for him.
My name is Norton, Les Norton.
104
00:09:28,668 --> 00:09:31,501
All we need is a bite to eat, Mrs Hicks.
105
00:09:32,305 --> 00:09:35,035
And somewhere to bed down for the night.
106
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:37,634
Now, you don't mind sleeping by
the Rayburn for once, do you,
107
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:39,973
so Mitch and I can have the bed?
108
00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:41,842
We've travelled 40 miles today.
109
00:09:41,948 --> 00:09:44,416
Can't go another step.
Me feet are killing me.
110
00:09:44,517 --> 00:09:47,042
And if you knew his feet. Show her.
111
00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:49,311
-Shall I?
-Yeah.
112
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:51,322
Show her your horrible blisters.
113
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:53,358
I must ask you to leave.
114
00:09:54,327 --> 00:09:56,625
Now, that's not very hospitable.
115
00:09:57,363 --> 00:10:01,265
-Well, where are you trying to get to?
-The coast. Felbridge.
116
00:10:02,301 --> 00:10:03,996
Another 15 miles yet.
117
00:10:04,103 --> 00:10:06,469
Oh, is it the army camp you want?
118
00:10:09,609 --> 00:10:14,273
-What do you know about that place?
-Well, why are you trying to get there?
119
00:10:14,747 --> 00:10:17,875
That depends what you have
to tell us about it.
120
00:10:18,017 --> 00:10:20,611
Now, what goes on at Felbridge camp?
121

(HORSE APPROACHING)
122
00:11:05,798 --> 00:11:08,198
I've had a message from Greg Preston.
123
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:10,825
-I'm Charles Vaughan.
-Oh, yes, you're expected.
124
00:11:10,936 --> 00:11:14,531
-Just ride in. You'll find Agnes in HQ.
-Agnes Carlsson?

00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,575
The white building at the end
on the right.
126
00:11:18,744 --> 00:11:21,872
She's been hoping you'd come
for the last week.
127
00:11:25,918 --> 00:11:27,715
AGNES: How many copies can you make?
128
00:11:27,820 --> 00:11:29,879
JOE: As many as there's paper
to print them on.
129
00:11:29,989 --> 00:11:33,015
Takes time, of course.
She's only a hand press.
130
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,661
Charles! Oh, Charles,
I'm glad to see you.
131
00:11:37,763 --> 00:11:39,924
You got our message, I was giving up.
132
00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:41,590
-Have you come alone?
-Yes.
133
00:11:41,701 --> 00:11:44,226
-Joe, meet Charles Vaughan.
-Hello.
134
00:11:44,370 --> 00:11:47,931
Joe and his wife were living here
when my father and I arrived.
135
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,736
-Your father?
-Yes, all those months ago.
136
00:11:50,843 --> 00:11:54,006
We landed just down the coast from here.
This is where we got the balloon.

Army transport depot.
138
00:11:55,748 --> 00:11:59,616
Military fence all round, water,
even our own generator.
139
00:11:59,852 --> 00:12:02,912
And Joe and his wife have
everything we need to live on.
140
00:12:03,022 --> 00:12:05,456
Cows, pigs, chickens, vegetables.
141
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:07,617
You'll be wanting something yourself,
I reckon?
142
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:11,128
-I'll tell Alice.
-Oh, don't worry. I'm not starving.
143
00:12:11,530 --> 00:12:15,364
-Shall I be running this off, then?
-No, not just yet. Thanks, Joe.
144
00:12:18,037 --> 00:12:20,471
Joe used to be a printer.
145
00:12:21,006 --> 00:12:25,067
Greg got him an old hand press.
We can publish a newspaper now.
146
00:12:26,145 --> 00:12:28,204
-Where Jenny?
-Where Greg?
147
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:30,906
About 30 miles from here.
148
00:12:32,118 --> 00:12:36,020
But he told me to come here.
Urgently, he said.
149
00:12:36,155 --> 00:12:39,090
Yes, he told me to send a message.
I guessed which way you were going
150
00:12:39,191 --> 00:12:41,523
if you were following
the electricity lines.
151
00:12:41,627 --> 00:12:45,688
What is Greg doing 30 miles from here
when he wants to see me urgently?
152
00:12:45,798 --> 00:12:47,595
It's always the same!
153
00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:49,895
He's got smallpox.
154
00:12:51,504 --> 00:12:54,098
And it was Preston gave it to me.
155
00:12:55,407 --> 00:12:59,104
Mitch wasn't there.
He found me in a ditch after I got out.
156
00:12:59,345 --> 00:13:01,370
Rattling on, he was,
about that camp at Felbridge.
157
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,311
I was delirious.
158
00:13:04,884 --> 00:13:08,149
But it was information that I received
from Preston when he had the fever.
159
00:13:08,254 --> 00:13:12,247
-"Gold," he kept saying.
-Now, is there gold at Felbridge camp?
160
00:13:12,591 --> 00:13:15,526
(SCOFFS) Who wants gold, anyway?
161
00:13:16,796 --> 00:13:19,663
He kept jabbering away to
that girl of his.
162
00:13:20,199 --> 00:13:23,760
And he tricked me and my team
into going to Cawston Farm.
163
00:13:24,403 --> 00:13:27,065
I was the only one that got out alive.
164
00:13:27,373 --> 00:13:30,433
-It was me that looked after you.
-Yeah.
165
00:13:33,913 --> 00:13:37,815
Now, Mrs Hicks, you'd like to
cook us a good dinner, wouldn't you?
166
00:13:37,917 --> 00:13:40,784
I wouldn't say no
to a nice roast chicken.
167
00:13:43,422 --> 00:13:45,117
Who are you both?
168
00:13:45,891 --> 00:13:48,951
He's called Mitch.
You can call me the Captain.
169
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:52,296
Mason and his friends would have
polluted the whole country
170
00:13:52,398 --> 00:13:53,592
if they'd had the chance.
171
00:13:53,699 --> 00:13:57,533
He was after my father's notebooks,
tried to murder Greg.
172
00:13:57,636 --> 00:14:00,002
Kidnapped me,
even threatened to torture me.
173
00:14:00,105 --> 00:14:01,197
How did you get away?
174
00:14:01,307 --> 00:14:03,332
Oh, Greg took them with him
to Dr Adams' place
175
00:14:03,442 --> 00:14:05,535
so they'd all catch smallpox too,
176
00:14:05,644 --> 00:14:09,705
along with their friend, the Captain.
Unfortunately, he got away.
177
00:14:10,950 --> 00:14:13,510
Greg. Will he recover?
178
00:14:13,786 --> 00:14:16,482
I hope so.
Now, let me show you around the camp.
179
00:14:16,589 --> 00:14:18,181
To hell with the camp,
I want to see Greg.
180
00:14:18,290 --> 00:14:21,885
If he gets well, he'll join us.
There's nothing we can do.
181
00:14:22,294 --> 00:14:24,125
But we can go to him.
182
00:14:24,763 --> 00:14:27,095
Where is this Dr Adams' place?
183
00:14:28,901 --> 00:14:33,235
The whole place is in quarantine, with
two men who shoot anyone leaving.
184
00:14:33,606 --> 00:14:36,200
Well, this Captain got away, and you.
185
00:14:36,508 --> 00:14:40,808
I seem to be immune. I don't know why.
That brucellosis I caught, maybe.
186
00:14:40,913 --> 00:14:44,872
-Why did you leave Greg?
-He ordered me to. To carry on his work.
187
00:14:45,017 --> 00:14:48,009
What do you think Greg's been doing
while you and Jenny and your new friends
188
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,611
have been pushing off to Scotland?
189
00:14:59,832 --> 00:15:03,825
There. Twenty-eight
different communities.
190
00:15:04,136 --> 00:15:07,435
Positions marked
and details of each listed here.
191
00:15:08,007 --> 00:15:11,841
Roads that are safe for travellers,
phone links, railways.
192
00:15:13,312 --> 00:15:16,839
Greg has been making your country
into a nation again.
193
00:15:17,783 --> 00:15:19,512
LES: Aye, he was round here
a couple of months back.
194
00:15:19,618 --> 00:15:22,280
Showed us how to get this place going.
195
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:29,894
What do you need bricks for?
196
00:15:29,995 --> 00:15:31,860
Must be plenty of houses
round here empty.
197
00:15:31,997 --> 00:15:35,228
Round here, yes. But down
at Derbyshire they want to build.
198
00:15:35,334 --> 00:15:37,234
If we send them bricks,
what they can send us.
199
00:15:37,336 --> 00:15:39,031
-Oh, I see.
-All the way from Derbyshire?
200
00:15:39,138 --> 00:15:41,072
Comes up by train once a fortnight.
201
00:15:41,173 --> 00:15:43,198
That's not Tom Walter's train, is it?
202
00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:44,674
-You know Tom Walter?
-Yeah.
203
00:15:44,810 --> 00:15:46,675
-Hey, Tom, friends of yours here.
-Yeah?
204
00:15:46,812 --> 00:15:48,746
I said I'd find them a horse.
One of theirs has gone lame.
205
00:15:48,847 --> 00:15:51,611
-Right.
-Tom, what are you doing here?
206
00:15:51,717 --> 00:15:53,207
-How's your mother?
-Oh, she's fine.
207
00:15:53,319 --> 00:15:54,479
-Steve and Owen?
-Yeah, they're okay.
208
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:55,610
What's been going on?
209
00:15:55,721 --> 00:15:59,088
AGNES: Tom got his train to Doncaster,
managed to switch points
210
00:15:59,191 --> 00:16:02,319
so he could use the main line,
north and south.
211
00:16:03,295 --> 00:16:06,128
He's got another train running now,
with help from a man at York
212
00:16:06,231 --> 00:16:08,062
called Albert Banks.
213
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,464
Albert's also got a lorry
he runs on coal gas,
214
00:16:10,569 --> 00:16:12,696
along this road here to us.
215
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:16,165
-Is it safe?
-Oh, Greg got people to patrol it.
216
00:16:16,275 --> 00:16:19,767
And we can communicate
to every known settlement, too.
217
00:16:19,878 --> 00:16:24,212
From here, we can telephone a woman
on the Humber, Mrs Hicks,
218
00:16:24,984 --> 00:16:28,647
who can call either Grimsby
or Albert Banks at York.
219
00:16:29,588 --> 00:16:33,922
Northwards, we have Nancy who is
connected to Scarborough one way,
220
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:36,719
and Les Norton up where you were.
221
00:16:36,962 --> 00:16:39,795
It was Mr Norton
who left that message for you.
222
00:16:39,898 --> 00:16:42,128
Aye, to come here. Why?
223
00:16:43,202 --> 00:16:45,966
-To help form a government.
-Government?
224
00:16:46,905 --> 00:16:48,736
It's about time, isn't it?
225
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:51,833
Greg told me to send for everyone
he trusts.
226
00:16:52,044 --> 00:16:53,204
Tom should be here tomorrow.
227
00:16:53,312 --> 00:16:56,338
He's up with Mr Norton
at the moment, trading.
228
00:16:57,349 --> 00:17:00,147
-Does Tom know Greg's got smallpox?
-Yes.
229
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:04,621
But he's the only one who does,
apart from you and me.
230
00:17:05,224 --> 00:17:06,691
What's Greg doing at Felbridge?
231
00:17:06,825 --> 00:17:09,794
Trying to sort things out,
get some kind of administration going.
232
00:17:09,895 --> 00:17:11,795
I'm going down there myself tomorrow.
233
00:17:11,897 --> 00:17:14,058
-How?
-Train to York, then by road.
234
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:15,291
Perhaps I could come with you.
235
00:17:15,401 --> 00:17:17,961
Oh, as long as Charles has gone
I don't think you need bother, Jenny.
236
00:17:18,070 --> 00:17:20,334
-But I'd like to.
-LES: Here, I found you a horse.
237
00:17:20,439 --> 00:17:21,098
Thank you.
238
00:17:21,206 --> 00:17:23,436
Hey, Les, before you send
that wagon down to the station,
239
00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:25,237
I'd like another 2,000 of them bricks.
240
00:17:25,344 --> 00:17:26,402
In return for what?
241
00:17:26,512 --> 00:17:28,173
-Petrol.
-Petrol?
242
00:17:28,447 --> 00:17:30,608
-Greg's got a million gallon.
-What?
243
00:17:30,716 --> 00:17:32,809
In underground storage tanks
at that army camp,
244
00:17:32,918 --> 00:17:34,818
and the equipment to pump it up.
245
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,821
Now, then, what would you want
for 2,000 bricks?
246
00:17:37,923 --> 00:17:39,288
Hundred gallons suit you?
247
00:17:39,391 --> 00:17:40,915
You have 100 gallons of petrol with you?
248
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:42,857
Not, but I'll give you a chit from Greg.
249
00:17:42,961 --> 00:17:45,122
-Eh?
-Here.
250
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:53,167
"I, Greg Preston, promise to pay
the bearer on demand at Felbridge camp,
251
00:17:53,439 --> 00:17:55,407
"100 gallons of petrol."
252
00:17:55,641 --> 00:17:58,701
His handwriting, his signature.
Isn't it, Jenny?
253
00:17:58,811 --> 00:18:02,076
You expect me to part with 2,000 bricks
for a scrap of paper?
254
00:18:02,214 --> 00:18:04,739
A scrap of paper you could always use
for other things, Les.
255
00:18:04,850 --> 00:18:05,908
Like what?
256
00:18:06,018 --> 00:18:08,578
For anything you may want from me
when the time comes.
257
00:18:08,687 --> 00:18:10,848
More cheese, tools, cloth.
258
00:18:11,390 --> 00:18:13,153
And you'll take that letter in exchange?
259
00:18:13,258 --> 00:18:15,590
If you'll take it now for these bricks.
260
00:18:15,694 --> 00:18:18,288
-It's money, isn't it?
-That's right.
261
00:18:18,697 --> 00:18:21,825
We'll never expand trade
till we bring it back.
262
00:18:30,042 --> 00:18:31,873
"I, Greg Preston, promise to
263
00:18:31,977 --> 00:18:33,774
-"pay the bearer, on demand..."
-Give that to me!
264
00:18:33,879 --> 00:18:36,074
"100 gallons of petrol."
265
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,578
-So that's what he's got there.
-How much is there?
266
00:18:43,689 --> 00:18:45,122
Why don't you go and find out?
267
00:18:45,224 --> 00:18:47,419
Because I think you can
save us the bother.
268
00:18:47,526 --> 00:18:49,084
Well, what is it to you two, anyway?
269
00:18:49,194 --> 00:18:52,061
Petrol for engines,
generators, machinery!
270
00:18:53,365 --> 00:18:54,730
And cars.
271
00:18:55,067 --> 00:18:57,399
And if one had it all himself...
272
00:18:57,803 --> 00:19:00,271
No wonder he talks of it as gold.
273
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,567
What can you tell us about it,
Mrs Hicks?
274
00:19:03,675 --> 00:19:08,339
I've never even been to Felbridge.
All I do is answer the phone for them.
275
00:19:08,447 --> 00:19:11,348
-Phone? What phone?
-Up on the hill.
276
00:19:11,650 --> 00:19:13,709
That's where I was
when you two broke in here.
277
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:16,185
Who do you speak to on the phone?
278
00:19:16,288 --> 00:19:18,688
Preston? Is he at Felbridge camp?
279
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:23,018
I'm not sure.
Look, all I do is pass on messages
280
00:19:23,228 --> 00:19:26,254
to somebody at York and
somebody else at Grimsby.
281
00:19:26,365 --> 00:19:28,196
That's all I can tell you.
282
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:31,167
Aside from explaining
how you got this note.
283
00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:33,870
I mean, that didn't come by phone.
284
00:19:35,073 --> 00:19:38,565
Who gave it to you?
And why is Preston promising petrol?
285
00:19:39,311 --> 00:19:41,370
Why do you want to know?
286
00:19:42,247 --> 00:19:44,010
Because if petrol is
going to be used again,
287
00:19:44,116 --> 00:19:46,380
then it's Preston that's got it all.
288
00:19:46,485 --> 00:19:47,975
Well, my men didn't die of smallpox
289
00:19:48,086 --> 00:19:51,055
so this chappy who did for them
can be king.
290
00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:53,217
Now, come here.
291
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:55,357
(GASPS)
292
00:19:56,695 --> 00:19:58,788
Now, do you want to be around
in the morning to say goodbye to us
293
00:19:58,897 --> 00:20:01,798
or do you want to say goodbye now?
294
00:20:04,636 --> 00:20:05,796
(SIGHS)
295
00:20:05,971 --> 00:20:07,836
She's not usually late.
296
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:11,608
Try again in five minutes,
will you, Mike?
297
00:20:16,715 --> 00:20:18,114
What's this you've given Joe
to print up?
298
00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:20,617
It reads like a royal proclamation.
299
00:20:20,719 --> 00:20:22,380
To tell people what's happening,
that's all.
300
00:20:22,487 --> 00:20:26,116
"Trust Greg Preston.
Trust his petrol notes.
301
00:20:26,358 --> 00:20:29,327
"Use then for trade."
Petrol notes? What the hell are they?
302
00:20:29,428 --> 00:20:34,388
Money? Your Greg Preston wants
to bring back money.
303
00:20:34,833 --> 00:20:36,926
Well, it had its uses, I reckon.
304
00:20:37,035 --> 00:20:40,163
-How much did you ever see of it?
-Plenty.
305
00:20:41,106 --> 00:20:44,701
Profits, wages, prices, dividends.
306
00:20:45,277 --> 00:20:47,472
Money was the cause of everything
that destroyed us.
307
00:20:47,579 --> 00:20:52,107
-It was the plague that destroyed us.
-Society was rotten long before that.
308
00:20:52,484 --> 00:20:55,783
-Not in everyone's eyes.
-Not in yours, maybe.
309
00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:58,822
Two cars, nice house,
310
00:20:59,958 --> 00:21:01,585
holidays abroad,
311
00:21:02,828 --> 00:21:04,352
hairdresser once a week.
312
00:21:04,463 --> 00:21:08,422
You were one of the Haves
with the big H.
313
00:21:09,868 --> 00:21:13,201
And you, so inadequate
you had to become a junkie.
314
00:21:13,372 --> 00:21:15,932
One of the great unwashed Have Nots.
315
00:21:16,041 --> 00:21:18,441
No wonder you're jealous of money.
316
00:21:18,610 --> 00:21:21,477
-Jealous, am I?
-I've decided to go, Alec.
317
00:21:21,580 --> 00:21:23,445
God, I can see it all.
318
00:21:24,082 --> 00:21:26,482
He's summoning the barons to court.
319
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:30,077
They'll make laws, raise taxes,
great carve-up.
320
00:21:30,389 --> 00:21:32,857
Just because some friend of theirs
used a letter of Greg's
321
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:35,859
to obtain some bricks, there's no need
to see anything sinister in it.
322
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:37,952
You must be blind, then.
323
00:21:40,198 --> 00:21:43,861
Any more than there's any need
for you to go to him, Jenny.
324
00:21:43,969 --> 00:21:47,632
I'm going to him because I have to.
It's as simple as that.
325
00:21:47,739 --> 00:21:50,401
Do you know he's located
nearly 30 different communities?
326
00:21:50,542 --> 00:21:51,702
8,000 people, Tom said.
327
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:54,210
Another 2,000 down south
they haven't got round to yet.
328
00:21:54,313 --> 00:21:55,746
Three railway lines open.
329
00:21:55,847 --> 00:21:57,610
HUBERT: Sailing barges
down the east coast.
330
00:21:57,716 --> 00:21:59,911
Charles was right.
We must go to Felbridge.
331
00:22:00,018 --> 00:22:01,747
Right, the horses.
332
00:22:06,692 --> 00:22:09,855
The cables on these pylons
are still dead, Jenny.
333
00:22:10,095 --> 00:22:13,587
Greg hasn't switched on
the electricity supply.
334
00:22:13,699 --> 00:22:15,223
There was a generator at that brickyard.
335
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:18,269
Oh, generators, maybe,
powered by windmills and like,
336
00:22:18,370 --> 00:22:21,362
but we've been following
the national power lines,
337
00:22:21,807 --> 00:22:24,674
checking on each substation on the way,
pulling the right switches,
338
00:22:24,776 --> 00:22:28,303
in the hope we can start up
the hydroelectric plant in Scotland.
339
00:22:28,413 --> 00:22:31,314
Yes, Greg may have
someone on that already.
340
00:22:31,817 --> 00:22:33,307
Then he'll have no need of me.
341
00:22:33,418 --> 00:22:36,046
And in that case,
I'd rather go to Scotland, anyway.
342
00:22:36,154 --> 00:22:39,487
-On your own?
-No, I'll carry on up north with Sam.
343
00:22:40,959 --> 00:22:44,918
Is there nothing I can say or do
to persuade you to come with me?
344
00:22:45,464 --> 00:22:47,455
Alec, I have to go to him.
345
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:50,725
Even if you're not coming,
you must see that.
346
00:22:51,436 --> 00:22:55,372
I do see one thing clearly now,
you're still in love with him.
347
00:22:56,975 --> 00:23:00,536
Barter is only good if
the other person has what you need.
348
00:23:00,645 --> 00:23:04,137
-If not, then back you both go.
-(SIGHS) Hmm.
349
00:23:06,184 --> 00:23:07,879
How many of these things
has Greg signed?
350
00:23:07,986 --> 00:23:11,649
Not enough. Tom Walter's got three
or four he's trying to get circulated.
351
00:23:11,757 --> 00:23:14,521
So has Albert Banks at York
and Mrs Hicks.
352
00:23:14,726 --> 00:23:17,695
But what we have to decide now
is whether we should print them.
353
00:23:17,796 --> 00:23:20,526
-Print them?
-Joe can do it on his press.
354
00:23:23,034 --> 00:23:24,661
(CHARLES SIGHS)
355
00:23:24,936 --> 00:23:28,667
Agnes, the transport depot
356
00:23:28,774 --> 00:23:30,765
is not the only source of petrol
in the country, you know,
357
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,367
there are refineries near the coast.
358
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:35,975
Which we can always blow up.
359
00:23:36,114 --> 00:23:39,982
-What, create a monopoly here?
-Well, like the gold in Fort Knox.
360
00:23:40,085 --> 00:23:42,679
And petrol is the gold now, Charles.
361
00:23:43,088 --> 00:23:45,079
Is that why you wear a gun?
362
00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:47,454
Alice wants to know
if these are all right.
363
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:49,527
Oh, but they are perfect.
364
00:23:50,128 --> 00:23:53,689
Look, Charles, Greg's initials
arranged as a monogram.
365
00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:55,994
Yes, I know.
I saw it on the gate when I came in.
366
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:57,659
We've got it on a flag as well.
367
00:23:57,769 --> 00:24:00,567
Which we can fly from the mast by HQ.
368
00:24:03,341 --> 00:24:05,775
What, like Buckingham Palace?
369
00:24:06,311 --> 00:24:07,744
Tell Alice they're fine.
370
00:24:07,846 --> 00:24:11,441
I want them to be worn by everyone
we're going to rely on.
371
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:13,609
Oh, a palace guard now, is it?
372
00:24:13,718 --> 00:24:18,178
How can you have a society without
law and order and people to enforce it?
373
00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:20,080
-We were managing.
-Were we?
374
00:24:20,192 --> 00:24:23,423
What about Brod,
or Mason, or the Captain?
375
00:24:24,229 --> 00:24:27,596
"You can't have freedom
without authority," Greg says.
376
00:24:27,699 --> 00:24:29,326
And he's right.
377
00:24:29,835 --> 00:24:32,463
-Oh, I've got to see him.
-No!
378
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:35,864
You mustn't.
379
00:24:37,542 --> 00:24:41,876
Well, why do you want to see him?
To check up on everything I've told you?
380
00:24:41,980 --> 00:24:44,574
Why do you have to be so suspicious?
381
00:24:45,183 --> 00:24:48,277
(SIGHING) If he's dead, he's dead.
382
00:24:49,020 --> 00:24:53,457
But if he's all right, then he'll come
as soon as he's well enough to.
383
00:24:54,726 --> 00:24:58,628
Every night I say to myself,
if only he would come.
384
00:24:59,331 --> 00:25:03,427
If only he would just walk in
and take it all over.
385
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:06,159
(DOOR OPENING)
386
00:25:06,271 --> 00:25:07,465
(GASPS)
387
00:25:09,474 --> 00:25:11,567
Tom! You got here.
388
00:25:11,676 --> 00:25:13,667
Albert brought me in his truck
from York,
389
00:25:13,778 --> 00:25:16,303
with 2,000 bricks we've just taken
to Yarmouth.
390
00:25:16,414 --> 00:25:18,541
Good, they need them.
391
00:25:18,650 --> 00:25:21,346
Excuse me, we're trying to get through
to Mrs Hicks on the phone
392
00:25:21,453 --> 00:25:24,616
and she's not answering.
I'll be back in a minute.
393
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:27,725
Well, hello, Tom.
394
00:25:27,826 --> 00:25:30,260
Charles. Heard you were
on your way here.
395
00:25:30,362 --> 00:25:33,160
Oh, this is Albert Banks from York.
Charles Vaughan.
396
00:25:33,265 --> 00:25:34,857
-Albert.
-How do?
397
00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:37,434
-Did you see Jenny?
-Mmm-hmm.
398
00:25:38,503 --> 00:25:41,870
Have you told her how Greg is
these days?
399
00:25:41,973 --> 00:25:45,374
-I just told her what he'd been doing.
-I hope he gets here soon.
400
00:25:45,477 --> 00:25:48,139
People are suspicious
about those petrol notes. Eh, Tom?
401
00:25:48,246 --> 00:25:51,079
Oh, they'll come to accept them
in the end.
402
00:25:51,182 --> 00:25:53,844
Oh, he told Agnes
they ought to be printed.
403
00:25:53,952 --> 00:25:56,045
It's a wonder they don't put a picture
of Greg on them.
404
00:25:56,154 --> 00:25:58,679
-TOM: A king's head?
-Why not?
405
00:25:58,790 --> 00:26:00,758
That's what he seems to be becoming
these days, isn't it?
406
00:26:00,859 --> 00:26:02,417
King of England.
407
00:26:03,228 --> 00:26:05,560
Who do you think should be king?
408
00:26:07,198 --> 00:26:09,860
-MIKE: He's not here.
-So I have been conned.
409
00:26:09,968 --> 00:26:14,166
Mrs Hicks is still not answering
the phone. She must be ill.
410
00:26:15,106 --> 00:26:17,904
This is Mr Norton. He wants to see Greg.
411
00:26:18,009 --> 00:26:20,671
Les Norton? Our contact up north?
412
00:26:21,146 --> 00:26:24,013
-I'm afraid Greg is away.
-Then I'll wait till he gets back.
413
00:26:24,115 --> 00:26:25,946
Well, why do you want to see him?
414
00:26:26,051 --> 00:26:28,212
"On demand," it says,
"at Felbridge camp,
415
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,311
"100 gallons of petrol."
416
00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:33,383
How do you want it?
A couple of 50-gallon drums?
417
00:26:33,491 --> 00:26:35,482
I hope your horse can carry it.
418
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:39,155
Take Mr Norton to HQ.
We'll bring him the petrol there.
419
00:26:49,374 --> 00:26:51,774
I got a couple accepted
on the strength of Greg's promise,
420
00:26:51,876 --> 00:26:53,639
but if they can't find others
to take them...
421
00:26:53,745 --> 00:26:55,610
Well, they'll presumably come here
and be paid in cash.
422
00:26:55,714 --> 00:26:58,080
Well, it's a devil of a way
for most people, Tom.
423
00:26:58,183 --> 00:26:59,707
Exactly, so rather than
make the journey,
424
00:26:59,818 --> 00:27:01,979
they'll do everything they can
to make people use their notes.
425
00:27:02,087 --> 00:27:04,351
Yeah, and if they fail?
I mean, they'll just tear them up.
426
00:27:04,456 --> 00:27:05,616
They'll never trust Greg again.
427
00:27:05,724 --> 00:27:08,784
Acceptance of a currency is
the first step to unification, Albert.
428
00:27:08,893 --> 00:27:10,520
(ALBERT GRUNTS)
429
00:27:18,003 --> 00:27:21,564
-How much petrol is in that store?
-About 200 gallons.
430
00:27:21,973 --> 00:27:24,601
-And the rest?
-Underground.
431
00:27:26,077 --> 00:27:27,601
Whereabouts?
432
00:27:27,712 --> 00:27:31,045
-Where are the tanks?
-We know what we're doing, Charles.
433
00:27:31,149 --> 00:27:32,810
Look, Agnes,
why do you have to lie to me?
434
00:27:32,917 --> 00:27:35,818
Because I don't know
if I can trust you yet.
435
00:27:36,888 --> 00:27:40,187
Well, I do know that I can't trust you.
436
00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:47,660
There is no million gallons, is there?
There never was.
437
00:28:13,658 --> 00:28:15,853
-Looks deserted.
-CAPTAIN: Yes.
438
00:28:16,361 --> 00:28:19,592
-(SNIFFING) Suits me.
-Aye, but where's the petrol?
439
00:28:19,698 --> 00:28:22,861
-Shall we find out?
-What, climb the fence?
440
00:28:25,370 --> 00:28:28,430
All we have to do
is show the pass at the gate.
441
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:33,644
-Real thing?
-Hmm.
442
00:28:34,446 --> 00:28:37,142
-How do you pump it up?
-Ordinary petrol pumps.
443
00:28:37,248 --> 00:28:38,840
Powered by what?
444
00:28:48,026 --> 00:28:51,120
Electricity. From our generator.
445
00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:54,489
And a million gallons underground?
446
00:28:54,599 --> 00:28:57,329
It was a storage depot for
the whole of Humberside.
447
00:28:57,435 --> 00:28:59,960
Now then, how are we going to
shift that lot for you?
448
00:29:00,071 --> 00:29:02,699
-Can you put it on your truck, Albert?
-Aye, could do.
449
00:29:02,807 --> 00:29:06,470
Right, then. We'll stick it on the train
at York. Okay, Les?
450
00:29:06,611 --> 00:29:08,670
Just hand over that note
and it's all yours.
451
00:29:08,780 --> 00:29:10,179
Maybe I don't want it after all.
452
00:29:10,281 --> 00:29:12,511
-Eh?
-Or maybe I never did.
453
00:29:12,617 --> 00:29:14,608
You see, I've been showing that note
around back home.
454
00:29:14,719 --> 00:29:18,177
And to folks I met on the way here, too.
I said I'd check it out for them.
455
00:29:18,289 --> 00:29:19,688
See if it was all right, I mean.
456
00:29:19,791 --> 00:29:22,521
If it is, I reckon other people
will want to use them, too.
457
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,254
Makes life a lot easier,
having money again.
458
00:29:24,362 --> 00:29:26,023
Right, well, tell them then.
459
00:29:26,131 --> 00:29:27,655
But if there's no petrol here
after all...
460
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:30,530
-You've seen it for yourself.
-Not a million gallons.
461
00:29:30,635 --> 00:29:33,900
No, I want to see that petrol flow, Tom,
for the good of all.
462
00:29:34,272 --> 00:29:36,502
As long as he doesn't take
the petrol away,
463
00:29:36,608 --> 00:29:39,441
there'll always be enough
for anyone else who comes.
464
00:29:39,544 --> 00:29:41,910
-They're not all going to come at once.
-It's fraud.
465
00:29:42,013 --> 00:29:45,881
(CHUCKLES) What did it say
on your old English bank notes?
466
00:29:47,152 --> 00:29:51,054
"I promise to pay the bearer on demand
the sum of one pound",
467
00:29:51,156 --> 00:29:53,249
with a picture of the Queen.
468
00:29:53,558 --> 00:29:57,324
Did she have enough gold for everyone
in the Bank of England?
469
00:29:57,862 --> 00:30:00,854
The Queen's authority was enough
to give a value to the note.
470
00:30:00,965 --> 00:30:05,197
So is Greg's authority now.
That's all a currency needs.
471
00:30:06,204 --> 00:30:09,901
To be honoured by someone
who symbolises the nation itself.
472
00:30:11,009 --> 00:30:12,670
Greg's to do that?
473
00:30:14,179 --> 00:30:17,239
It means we must fly this flag
wherever we can.
474
00:30:18,183 --> 00:30:20,378
Get that proclamation issued.
475
00:30:20,952 --> 00:30:25,616
Show people where to trade,
when to trade, what roads are safe.
476
00:30:28,326 --> 00:30:30,988
Show people a central authority exists.
477
00:30:39,337 --> 00:30:43,637
-TOM: Les wants to see the petrol tanks.
-They're underground.
478
00:30:43,875 --> 00:30:46,844
The covers, then. The pumps.
How you get it up.
479
00:30:46,945 --> 00:30:50,642
Over there. You'll find
a brick bunker with steel doors.
480
00:30:50,748 --> 00:30:54,582
All the pumping equipment's inside,
but only Greg has the key.
481
00:30:54,752 --> 00:30:56,913
He'll be back in a week or two
if you'd like to wait.
482
00:30:57,021 --> 00:30:59,421
No one else has the key
for security reasons.
483
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:02,118
Well, that makes sense,
when you think of what's there.
484
00:31:02,227 --> 00:31:03,353
If it is there.
485
00:31:03,461 --> 00:31:05,725
Greg will show you when he returns.
486
00:31:05,830 --> 00:31:09,527
Well, rather than wait,
I think I'll go to him. Where is he?
487
00:31:10,101 --> 00:31:11,227
Norway.
488
00:31:11,336 --> 00:31:15,033
-Then I'll take my petrol and go home.
-You'd be better off with a note.
489
00:31:15,139 --> 00:31:18,768
If Greg said so, I'd believe him.
But you, Tom, or you, miss,
490
00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:20,742
who are you to tell me what's what?
491
00:31:20,845 --> 00:31:23,109
If Greg assures me that
all this organisation you set up
492
00:31:23,214 --> 00:31:25,978
is really going to work,
I'll be the first one to help him.
493
00:31:26,084 --> 00:31:27,881
(HORSES APPROACHING)

00:31:33,858 --> 00:31:36,952
The man at the gate
says Greg isn't here. Again.
496
00:31:38,963 --> 00:31:41,693
-You told me he was, Tom.
-But I didn't tell you to come.
497
00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:43,699
They say he's in Norway.
498
00:31:43,801 --> 00:31:45,428
-Norway?
-He's not!
499
00:31:45,870 --> 00:31:47,838
He's in a certain Dr Adams' place.
500
00:31:47,939 --> 00:31:51,067
-Cawston Farm? That Dr Adams?
-You know?
501
00:31:51,175 --> 00:31:54,872
Yes, Agnes told us about that ages ago.
Is that where he is?
502
00:31:55,246 --> 00:31:58,704
-This time I will find him.
-You can't, Jenny, he's got smallpox.
503
00:31:58,816 --> 00:32:00,044
Charles!
504
00:32:00,618 --> 00:32:03,883
Just what kind of a state
do you intend to set up, Agnes?
505
00:32:03,988 --> 00:32:05,956
If it's to be based on deceit.
506
00:32:06,057 --> 00:32:07,547
Right, well, I'm going to load
those barrels of petrol
507
00:32:07,659 --> 00:32:08,990
on your friend's truck.
508
00:32:09,093 --> 00:32:11,186
At least I'll get out
with what you owe me.
509
00:32:11,296 --> 00:32:15,960
-"On demand", it says.
-Yes, well, uh, what's your name?
510
00:32:16,067 --> 00:32:19,594
Does that matter?
It just says "Pay bearer" on the note.
511
00:32:20,004 --> 00:32:22,837
You'd better see Miss Carlsson.
Blonde girl.
512
00:32:23,374 --> 00:32:26,969
She's somewhere on the parade ground,
I think. Over there.
513
00:32:28,446 --> 00:32:29,777
Thank you.
514
00:32:49,534 --> 00:32:51,229
When did he get it?
515
00:32:51,669 --> 00:32:54,570
Soon after he tried to meet us
at Swaffham.
516
00:32:54,672 --> 00:32:56,765
Did he go to Sloton Spencer?
517
00:32:58,076 --> 00:33:01,705
-I don't think so.
-The children might have got it.
518
00:33:02,947 --> 00:33:06,348
-Well, we'll ask Agnes.
-I don't want to talk to her.
519
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:11,148
Well, she's the only one
who can tell you all about it.
520
00:33:11,255 --> 00:33:12,745
She nursed him.
521
00:33:14,392 --> 00:33:15,723
Nursed him?
522
00:33:17,495 --> 00:33:19,759
How far is it to Cawston Farm?
523
00:33:20,298 --> 00:33:23,461
-Jenny...
-I have to go to him, Charles.
524
00:33:23,568 --> 00:33:25,433
However ill he may be.
525
00:33:28,573 --> 00:33:29,801
(SIGHING)
526
00:33:44,989 --> 00:33:47,685
-Make sure no one leaves the camp.
-How do I do that?
527
00:33:47,792 --> 00:33:49,555
You're supposed to be on guard,
aren't you?
528
00:33:49,660 --> 00:33:52,254
-What do you imagine that gun's for?
-I use this?
529
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:53,830
If necessary.
530
00:33:58,503 --> 00:34:01,404
Albert and Les can't start the truck.
Well, not for the moment, anyway.
531
00:34:01,506 --> 00:34:03,736
Good. Tell them to meet me
in the council room,
532
00:34:03,841 --> 00:34:05,570
I have some very important
news for them.
533
00:34:05,676 --> 00:34:08,873
-They may not be interested.
-Then you'd better have a gun, too.
534
00:34:08,980 --> 00:34:12,143
(SCOFFS) If they want to go,
we won't be able to stop them, Agnes.
535
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:15,378
You will. Get a gun from the armoury.
536
00:34:17,388 --> 00:34:18,912
CHARLES: Agnes!
537
00:34:20,324 --> 00:34:23,623
Jenny says she's going to find Greg and
she's going now, and I'm going with her.
538
00:34:23,728 --> 00:34:27,095
Then I don't suppose I'll see
either of you ever again.
539
00:34:27,198 --> 00:34:29,223
Please, bring her to the council room.
540
00:34:29,333 --> 00:34:32,564
-What about these two I let in just now?
-What two?
541
00:34:44,415 --> 00:34:46,474
There's no petrol in there.
542
00:34:47,185 --> 00:34:49,745
And the old woman did say
a million gallons.
543
00:34:49,854 --> 00:34:52,220
Yeah, by that time
she'd have said anything.
544
00:34:52,323 --> 00:34:55,724
-Feeling sorry for her, Mitch?
-There was no need to have done her in.
545
00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:57,886
If we hadn't, she'd have telephoned
as soon as we left.
546
00:34:57,995 --> 00:35:01,931
-So we could've cut the phone.
-Do you want out of this, Mitch?
547
00:35:03,568 --> 00:35:07,060
(SIGHING) How are we going to lift
a million gallons anyway? In buckets?
548
00:35:07,171 --> 00:35:11,733
We're not going to lift it. We're going
to do what Preston thinks he's done.
549
00:35:12,310 --> 00:35:13,868
Take possession.
550
00:35:16,481 --> 00:35:19,109
You'll get in to see him, but not out.
551
00:35:19,383 --> 00:35:22,841
There are two men with rifles
who shoot anyone leaving.
552
00:35:23,121 --> 00:35:25,180
Well, we can talk to him from outside
if necessary.
553
00:35:25,289 --> 00:35:29,316
-Come on, Charles, let's go.
-What gives you the right to see him?
554
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:34,731
Greg was terrified you'd try.
He needn't have worried, need he?
555
00:35:34,866 --> 00:35:36,891
If I'd known that he had smallpox...
556
00:35:37,001 --> 00:35:39,299
Oh, so he has to be dying, does he?
557
00:35:39,403 --> 00:35:44,397
-Jenny is entitled to see him, Agnes.
-Entitled? What as? His wife?
558
00:35:45,610 --> 00:35:47,771
You didn't even come
to Swaffham that day.
559
00:35:47,879 --> 00:35:52,714
Sent Charles instead. You were off to
Scotland with some new man in your life.
560
00:35:53,618 --> 00:35:56,883
-I love Greg.
-Oh, now you say it.
561
00:35:57,288 --> 00:35:59,017
I've always said it!
562
00:35:59,357 --> 00:36:02,485
Just because I haven't been with him,
doesn't mean to say I don't love him.
563
00:36:02,593 --> 00:36:06,461
Well, I, too, have always loved him.
564
00:36:07,565 --> 00:36:10,659
(SIGHS) From the day
he took off in the balloon,
565
00:36:11,502 --> 00:36:14,562
saw your great green country
spread out below,
566
00:36:15,573 --> 00:36:17,598
the day Greg came to life.
567
00:36:17,708 --> 00:36:21,508
Understood what my father had in mind,
saw what could be done.
568
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,181
You? Never even believed in him.
569
00:36:26,350 --> 00:36:29,615
Perhaps if you hadn't been so busy
believing in him,
570
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,553
he'd have been able to
find his way back to me.
571
00:36:32,657 --> 00:36:35,387
Yes, I'm afraid he would have done.
572
00:36:36,060 --> 00:36:39,757
To hold your hand,
tell bedtime stories to the children,
573
00:36:39,864 --> 00:36:44,233
dangle the baby on his knee.
That's all you ever wanted of him.
574
00:36:45,102 --> 00:36:47,764
You meant more to him than any of that!
575
00:36:49,140 --> 00:36:52,507
You, who gave him nothing!
576
00:37:06,991 --> 00:37:08,822
MITCH: Good afternoon.
577
00:37:09,126 --> 00:37:11,754
-Who are you?
-Friends of Greg Preston.
578
00:37:11,862 --> 00:37:13,989
Well, you better see Agnes, Greg's away.
579
00:37:14,098 --> 00:37:16,089
So, Agnes is here, is she?
580
00:37:17,668 --> 00:37:20,762
-Well, what do you do in this place?
-He makes money, by the look of it.
581
00:37:20,871 --> 00:37:24,398
I try to, but it's only a hand press
I've got through there.
582
00:37:24,508 --> 00:37:27,068
It's difficult to
get the notes identical.
583
00:37:27,178 --> 00:37:30,841
So we're going to be rich again, are we?
Buy anything we want.
584
00:37:30,948 --> 00:37:34,384
-Only if we have enough of these.
-There's plenty here, Mitch.
585
00:37:34,485 --> 00:37:36,680
I'll tell Agnes you want her.
586
00:37:37,989 --> 00:37:43,052
No, don't let's interrupt your work.
We can find Agnes ourselves.
587
00:37:43,761 --> 00:37:45,353
Anytime we like.
588
00:37:45,463 --> 00:37:49,399
Of course he'd have come back
to you sooner, if I'd let him.
589
00:37:50,201 --> 00:37:51,691
You admit that?
590
00:37:52,503 --> 00:37:57,304
Which was more important? You or what
he was trying to do for this country?
591
00:37:58,142 --> 00:38:00,201
If it hadn't been for
his wanting to find you,
592
00:38:00,311 --> 00:38:02,836
we could have done so much more.
593
00:38:02,947 --> 00:38:06,508
Then it wouldn't be in such danger
of all collapsing now.
594
00:38:07,418 --> 00:38:11,787
Still, that doesn't matter to you,
does it?
595
00:38:12,923 --> 00:38:15,357
As long as you know he loves you.
596
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,751
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
597
00:38:22,166 --> 00:38:24,031
So what's this news
you've got for us, then?
598
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:26,968
That there is no petrol?
That's not news.
599
00:38:27,772 --> 00:38:30,332
-The news is that...
-Oh, go on, miss.
600
00:38:32,209 --> 00:38:35,042
-There has to be a government.
-A what?
601
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,139
Some kind of authority.
602
00:38:38,249 --> 00:38:41,412
That's why Charles and Tom are here,
to discuss it.
603
00:38:42,186 --> 00:38:45,121
Others will be arriving in a day or two,
maybe even today,
604
00:38:45,222 --> 00:38:48,919
to form a council to decide how best
to manage things.
605
00:38:49,026 --> 00:38:51,586
But if you leave
before they even get here,
606
00:38:51,696 --> 00:38:54,187
start telling people
that Greg has smallpox,
607
00:38:54,298 --> 00:38:57,290
that there isn't enough petrol
to back up those notes,
608
00:38:57,401 --> 00:38:59,926
then everything Greg started
will collapse.
609
00:39:00,037 --> 00:39:02,232
It's up the spout anyway if Greg's sick.
610
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:04,467
-No!
-And if there's no petrol after all?
611
00:39:04,575 --> 00:39:08,204
Tell people that and they'll tear up
those notes, it'll be back to barter.
612
00:39:08,312 --> 00:39:10,780
Every man for himself.
Do you really want that?
613
00:39:10,881 --> 00:39:15,079
-I just want to see Greg. Now!
-Stop her, Tom.
614
00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:17,151
Arrest me?
615
00:39:18,389 --> 00:39:19,947
What, in the name of Greg?
616
00:39:20,057 --> 00:39:24,494
AGNES: In the name of everything
he stands for. The safety of the state.
617
00:39:25,062 --> 00:39:27,530
He hasn't been crowned king yet, Agnes.
618
00:39:27,631 --> 00:39:31,931
-Would you rather be king yourself?
-Nobody need be king.
619
00:39:32,636 --> 00:39:34,934
All we want is a loose federation
of communities
620
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:36,666
peacefully trading with each other.
621
00:39:36,774 --> 00:39:39,242
And who is going to keep the peace?
622
00:39:39,777 --> 00:39:44,237
-Why do you assume they'd fight?
-The strongest take over the weakest.
623
00:39:44,548 --> 00:39:47,108
Have it your way, Charles,
and you'll all be so free
624
00:39:47,218 --> 00:39:50,881
that any unscrupulous gangster can prey
on anyone he likes.
625
00:39:50,988 --> 00:39:52,649
Then he becomes king.
626
00:39:52,757 --> 00:39:55,419
CAPTAIN: And you reckon this money
will catch on, do you?
627
00:39:55,526 --> 00:39:58,962
Agnes wants to put up posters about it.
Like that one.
628
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:04,765
"Trust Greg Preston"?
629
00:40:04,969 --> 00:40:08,063
"Trust his petrol notes,
use it for trade,
630
00:40:09,306 --> 00:40:11,035
"wear his badges,
631
00:40:11,742 --> 00:40:15,007
"and trust the man with the GP badge."
What's that?
632
00:40:15,112 --> 00:40:17,979
-Must be these.
-My wife's been making them.
633
00:40:18,082 --> 00:40:20,209
To be worn by Preston's men?
634
00:40:20,484 --> 00:40:22,213
Coppers again, is he?
635
00:40:22,319 --> 00:40:25,584
Why don't you go and talk to Agnes
about it, not me.
636
00:40:25,923 --> 00:40:29,950
It's time we had peace again.
There are too many villains about.
637
00:40:31,228 --> 00:40:32,661
They get away with murder.
638
00:40:32,763 --> 00:40:35,630
Aye, burning houses, robbing old ladies.
639
00:40:35,733 --> 00:40:38,896
Hey, this could be a job
for you and me, Captain.
640
00:40:41,372 --> 00:40:46,605
Get a few others together,
give them badges, revolvers,
641
00:40:47,912 --> 00:40:50,244
then people will know
they're protected again.
642
00:40:50,347 --> 00:40:52,474
Aye, but what do we live on?
643
00:40:53,551 --> 00:40:54,677
Taxes.
644
00:40:55,653 --> 00:40:58,679
People don't expect to be
protected for nothing.
645
00:40:58,789 --> 00:41:00,723
If they find their farms
are raided too often,
646
00:41:00,825 --> 00:41:03,293
they'll be only too willing to pay.
647
00:41:05,663 --> 00:41:08,131
Now, where did you get
this gun from, Joe?
648
00:41:08,232 --> 00:41:09,563
Ask Agnes.
649
00:41:10,134 --> 00:41:11,226
(CHUCKLING) Oh, yes.
650
00:41:11,335 --> 00:41:12,734
(CLICKING)
651
00:41:13,838 --> 00:41:15,396
We will ask her.
652
00:41:15,906 --> 00:41:20,206
I'm only asking you to stay a few days
until the others arrive
653
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:22,575
and some kind of council is set up.
654
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:23,977
You're not asking at all.
655
00:41:24,081 --> 00:41:26,481
You're relying on Tom over there
to keep us here by force.
656
00:41:26,584 --> 00:41:28,575
Only if you won't see reason.
657
00:41:28,686 --> 00:41:31,450
I'm not sure you have
the right to do that, miss.
658
00:41:31,555 --> 00:41:33,546
What right have any of you
to go out of here
659
00:41:33,657 --> 00:41:35,887
and bring everything worthwhile
to an end?
660
00:41:35,993 --> 00:41:38,962
Well, I'm not staying to be kept
prisoner by you, Agnes.
661
00:41:39,063 --> 00:41:40,758
-Or you, Tom.
-Agnes is right.
662
00:41:40,865 --> 00:41:43,663
Authority is meaningless
unless you can prove it has teeth.
663
00:41:43,767 --> 00:41:47,225
Agnes! I've just made
the morning phone call to Mrs Hicks
664
00:41:47,338 --> 00:41:50,239
and Flip Blythe answered. He couldn't
get through to her either yesterday,
665
00:41:50,341 --> 00:41:52,400
so he rode over
to see if she was all right.
666
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:56,002
He found her tied up in her kitchen,
with her throat cut.
667
00:41:56,113 --> 00:41:59,412
AGNES: Now perhaps
you see what I am talking about.
668
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:02,281
Uh, I told him he could have
just cut the phone wires,
669
00:42:02,386 --> 00:42:05,378
but if you're Agnes, you'll probably
know the Captain better than me.
670
00:42:05,489 --> 00:42:08,117
He's got that fellow
that prints the money.
671
00:42:08,225 --> 00:42:10,557
He sent me to collect your guns,
then you're to take me to the armoury.
672
00:42:10,661 --> 00:42:12,253
-Where is he?
-Look, nothing you can do to me
673
00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:14,388
is going to match what the Captain
will do to your friend.
674
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:31,739
-Where are you taking me?
-Somewhere safe.
675
00:42:35,219 --> 00:42:40,521
Don't worry, you'll come to no harm.
Agnes knows me, so she won't take risks.
676
00:42:44,128 --> 00:42:46,096
He hasn't even told me
where he's taking him.
677
00:42:46,196 --> 00:42:48,994
He just said I've got exactly five
minutes. In fact, less than three now,
678
00:42:49,099 --> 00:42:51,795
for you to give me your guns
or go out and look for him.
679
00:42:51,902 --> 00:42:53,597
All right, there's seven of you here.
680
00:42:53,704 --> 00:42:55,604
One of you might find him
in just over two and a half minutes,
681
00:42:55,706 --> 00:42:57,333
but it's a big camp.
682
00:42:57,441 --> 00:43:00,171
She knows I've nothing to fear
from killing you.
683
00:43:00,277 --> 00:43:01,869
Preston's police are not
on the beat yet.
684
00:43:01,979 --> 00:43:04,379
Is that all that would stop you?
685
00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:05,913
What else?
686
00:43:08,252 --> 00:43:09,583
Alice!
687
00:43:16,193 --> 00:43:17,353
(JOE GRUNTING)
688
00:43:17,461 --> 00:43:20,123
(EXCLAIMING) Get off!
689
00:43:21,599 --> 00:43:24,363
-Here, you're the two...
-He has a gun.
690
00:43:25,769 --> 00:43:26,861
So have I.
691
00:43:26,971 --> 00:43:28,734
(HUBERT SCREAMING)
692
00:43:34,578 --> 00:43:38,173
My wife will be here in a jiffy,
bringing the barrow back.
693
00:43:38,282 --> 00:43:40,944
-What's going on?
-Shut up.
694
00:43:41,485 --> 00:43:43,885
You told your friend
that when they handed over their guns,
695
00:43:43,988 --> 00:43:45,216
he was to let one off so you'd know.
696
00:43:45,322 --> 00:43:46,983
So keep quiet and listen.
697
00:43:47,091 --> 00:43:49,753
He's had more than five minutes by now.
698
00:43:51,028 --> 00:43:52,893
Agnes knows I wouldn't hesitate.
699
00:43:52,997 --> 00:43:56,455
If she had to choose between saving me
and letting you take over,
700
00:43:56,567 --> 00:43:58,933
she won't hesitate, either.
Agnes is as hard as nails.
701
00:43:59,036 --> 00:44:00,162
(GUNSHOT FIRES)
702
00:44:01,939 --> 00:44:03,099
Is she?
703
00:44:04,508 --> 00:44:05,668
Get up.
704
00:44:06,043 --> 00:44:08,603
Go on, get up, both of you!
705
00:44:13,350 --> 00:44:14,339
(GUNSHOT)
706
00:44:14,451 --> 00:44:15,816
(GASPING)
707
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,194
She's dead, he's killed her.
708
00:44:26,263 --> 00:44:28,094
AGNES: Don't shoot, Hubert.
709
00:44:28,198 --> 00:44:31,099
Have Tom take him to the guard room,
lock him in the cell with the other one.
710
00:44:31,201 --> 00:44:33,795
Lock him in the cell? What for?
711
00:44:36,407 --> 00:44:37,704
Move.
712
00:44:43,847 --> 00:44:46,543
Why not put him on trial?
Judge and jury.
713
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,650
-Better to have shot them at once.
-Why?
714
00:44:52,756 --> 00:44:55,316
Save ourselves the horror
of having to pass judgement?
715
00:44:55,426 --> 00:44:57,690
Quick revenge in the heat of the moment,
no questions ever asked,
716
00:44:57,795 --> 00:44:59,422
is that how it's going to be?
717
00:44:59,530 --> 00:45:01,191
No, Agnes is right.
718
00:45:01,298 --> 00:45:03,630
If we're not going to have any law,
we're no better than the Captain.
719
00:45:03,734 --> 00:45:06,032
So who is going to judge them?
720
00:45:06,537 --> 00:45:09,768
Agnes in Greg's name, or Greg himself?
721
00:45:11,375 --> 00:45:12,774
Greg's dead.
722
00:45:13,644 --> 00:45:16,511
He died some weeks ago,
I buried him myself.
723
00:45:17,481 --> 00:45:20,211
I'm sorry, I would have told you before.
724
00:45:21,218 --> 00:45:24,085
I wanted to wait
until the council was here.
725
00:45:24,621 --> 00:45:27,954
It was bad enough
everyone hearing he had smallpox.
726
00:45:28,192 --> 00:45:31,855
But if they knew he was dead,
I couldn't let that come out.
727
00:45:31,962 --> 00:45:34,726
That's why I had to stop you
going to him.
728
00:45:35,566 --> 00:45:37,727
We'd have had to know sooner or later.
729
00:45:37,835 --> 00:45:40,633
I would've told you
when everyone was here.
730
00:45:41,004 --> 00:45:43,939
So I could be sure
he didn't die for nothing.
731
00:45:45,843 --> 00:45:49,404
And he mustn't.
This must make no difference.
732
00:45:51,915 --> 00:45:54,611
Dead? That just about wraps it up, then.
733
00:45:54,718 --> 00:45:57,448
Come on, Albert,
let's get this truck of yours moving.
734
00:45:57,554 --> 00:46:00,421
At least we've got guns now
to protect ourselves.
735
00:46:00,524 --> 00:46:03,322
-Look after number one, eh, is that it?
-Oh, Albert and I will survive.
736
00:46:03,427 --> 00:46:04,894
CHARLES: Aye, but will others?
737
00:46:04,995 --> 00:46:07,759
Like that woman Mrs Hicks
that got killed, or Joe's wife.
738
00:46:07,865 --> 00:46:11,426
Nothing can be done without Greg.
He was the one person everyone trusted,
739
00:46:11,535 --> 00:46:15,369
admired, respected, depended upon.
He'd been everywhere.
740
00:46:15,939 --> 00:46:18,134
-But if he's under ground...
-It makes no difference.
741
00:46:18,242 --> 00:46:20,142
-ALBERT: No difference?
-No.
742
00:46:20,244 --> 00:46:23,077
Council elected from each community
can still act in his name.
743
00:46:23,180 --> 00:46:26,741
-What? Make out he's still alive?
-CHARLES: Aye, why not?
744
00:46:27,017 --> 00:46:31,249
If he provides the figurehead,
the authority needed to uphold the law.
745
00:46:31,355 --> 00:46:33,721
-What law? There is no...
-No?
746
00:46:34,324 --> 00:46:35,586
(SCOFFS) Well, if you believe that,
747
00:46:35,692 --> 00:46:37,887
you might as well let those two
in the guard house go.
748
00:46:37,995 --> 00:46:40,463
All they ever believed in doing was
looking after number one.
749
00:46:40,564 --> 00:46:42,429
-Where's Agnes?
-Why?
750
00:46:42,533 --> 00:46:44,091
There are people at the gate.
Someone from Peterborough,
751
00:46:44,201 --> 00:46:46,294
someone else from Lincoln,
and a woman from Grimsby.
752
00:46:46,403 --> 00:46:49,736
They say that they've been sent for,
but after the last two I let in...
753
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,866
Councillors gathering.
Oh, you can let them in.
754
00:46:54,111 --> 00:46:56,545
Well, you want to join it?
755
00:46:57,347 --> 00:46:58,939
To decide what becomes of those killers?
756
00:46:59,049 --> 00:47:01,779
Aye, and what sort of world we want.
757
00:47:02,953 --> 00:47:04,818
Alec and Sam are on their way
to Scotland
758
00:47:04,922 --> 00:47:07,982
to get electricity
onto the national grid again.
759
00:47:08,592 --> 00:47:10,150
Would Greg have approved?
760
00:47:10,260 --> 00:47:13,491
If the council approves.
The council is Greg now.
761
00:47:14,665 --> 00:47:16,633
You can't love a council.
762
00:47:16,934 --> 00:47:20,461
Your friends going to Scotland must
be told we have a government, Jenny.
763
00:47:20,571 --> 00:47:22,801
Their loyalty must be ensured?
764
00:47:25,809 --> 00:47:28,209
Did he really often talk about me?
765
00:47:28,879 --> 00:47:32,576
Not something I'd have made up, is it?
I loved him, too.
766
00:47:33,450 --> 00:47:35,782
For all that he did for his country?
767
00:47:35,886 --> 00:47:40,084
For all he could have done, if it hadn't
been for what he felt for you.
768
00:47:40,490 --> 00:47:45,052
I'm not really so selfish, Agnes. It's
just that I don't have your strength.
769
00:47:45,295 --> 00:47:48,662
You won't...
I mean, you know, the council...
770
00:47:48,765 --> 00:47:52,531
Don't worry.
I would never let Greg down.
771
00:47:59,042 --> 00:48:03,103
The King is dead. Long live the King.
772
