EDWARD:Dear Mother,
it's been quite some time.

I am training with the Navy

and will be given leave next month
to visit family.

I think it would feel right
for us to meet.

Are you able to come
to Keighley train station?

I can meet you
in the waiting room there

on the morning
of Monday the 10th of July.

I hope to hear from you.

Edward.

You lads.

Hurry up. Come on, go. Sorry.

WHISTLE BLOWS

Go on, it'll suit you.

Is this some kind of joke?

You'll cook and clean
in Mrs Hall's absence.

I hope you were listening
to her this morning.

She left a list of things
to do by the phone.

I thought we were divvying up
the jobs. That is the fair way.

Don't panic. I'm not expecting you
to have this place tiptop

by any means.

Just try to complete the tasks
as satisfactorily as you can.

KNOCK AT DOOR
Who's that?

Hello. Hello.

And what was so terribly wrong
with the front door?

I do apologise, sir.
I'm Andrew Simmonds.

Siegfried Farnon. Don't ask.

Oh, good God.

What is it?

We promised his headmaster
a day's work experience.

TRISTAN SCOFFS
If it's too much trouble, I'll...

No, no, it's quite all right.
My brother Tristan will happily...

Make you a cup of tea before you get
cracking with your mentor here.

Just try to complete the tasks
as satisfactorily as you can.

Excuse me, Andrew.

Milk and sugar?

Yes, please. Yes.

Sorry, big brother.

TRISTAN SIGHS HAPPILY

QUIET CHATTER

DOOR OPENS

Hello.

I changed me mind.

That's lovely, thank you.

Changed your mind?

Yes...please. Thank you.

Did you miss your train?

Er, no, no. I'm... I'm...

I'm waiting for someone.

Who?

No. No, that's not why I'm here.

Um...are the trains late?

Sometimes.

SHE MOUTHS

I'm sure they're on their way.

Yes, I hope you're right.

Mm, please, yes.

Is that for them?

Yes.

What's their name?

It's, erm...Edward.

Edward?

Edward. That's right, yeah.
He's, er...

He's my son.

Er, my... My son? But big.

Son.

Son? Oh, right.

Yeah, my son.

Thank you.

Thank you.

There you are, Andrew.
Thank you. Right, tour. Follow me.

under the watchful eye
of my good self.

I'll show you the office.
HE HUMS

This is where we handle
correspondences, invoices, receipts,

and I come face-to-face with
the very bane of my existence -

stingy clients.

His name's Volonel.

Volonel.

He's beautiful.

Beautiful.

You can hold him if you like.

Can I?

Let's get him out.

There we are.

Sh, sh, sh.

Do you know that rats can't sweat?

Y-Yes. Don't they use their tail
to regulate their temperature?

They do,

by expanding and contracting
the blood vessels. Clever things.

Hello, Volonel.

I could get used to living up here.

It's a shame Dad's back from his
brother's tomorrow.

Don't you dare. Don't you dare?

No, d-don't throw those mushrooms.
Stop it! Stop it.

JAMES GRUNTS SOFTLY

Ow! There'll be none left.

Will you pair stop mucking about?
Where've you been?

James, stop mucking about.
Come inside for breakfast,

otherwise it's going to get cold.

This is brilliant.
It's nothing really.

It's delicious.

And this is nice.

Could have this on the bed.

You not eating?
Oh, I've already had mine.

You can fry them mushrooms
we picked for Dad tomorrow.

Mushrooms I picked,
I think you mean.

Oi, I picked at least half
of 'em...

Are you fibbing again, Helen?

Shouldn't you be
getting ready for school?

Cutting it a bit fine, aren't you?

I'm not going. Why?

I left.

Jenny?

I've left school.
What do you mean, you've left?

Well, I'm allowed now, now I'm 14.
I want to work on the farm.

Well, you never talked to me
about any of this.

I'm telling you now, aren't I?

Does Dad know?Yeah.

And he doesn't mind?

No.

Right.
I've got to sort out the sheep.

DOOR CLOSES

See you later.

Do you do all these by yourself?

Dad trusts me with them.

They look great, Jenny.

Thanks.

I wish we'd spoken about school.

It feels like a big decision.

What is it?

It's nothing, Jenny. Don't worry.

Is that foot rot?

Oh, no.

It's all right. We'll get James to
have a look when he gets back.

I don't see how I could've
missed it.

It's easy to miss
and you're still learning.

SHEEP BAAS

Thank you for the tea.

It was nice to meet you.

You too.

WHISTLE BLOWS
Cheerio.

Mother?

Edward.

Sorry for making you wait
this long.

It's quite all right.

I really am sorry, honestly.

Don't be silly.
I've not been here that long.

Er, did you...How are you...

You go.No, you.

Ma, please.

I were just gonna ask how your
journey were.

Not bad. Yours?

Didn't feel as long as anticipated.

I were dreading it, to be honest.

Not this. The journey.

I'm talking too much.

No, it's all right.

Let's find somewhere to sit,
shall we?

I-Is it nice there, Darrow?

Er, D-Darrowby.

Lovely.

Little paradise on Earth.

You're always welcome.
I HAVE invited y...

Never mind.

Haven't had the time.
Of course, I know.

Well...

..we're here now, aren't we?

Oh. It's full.

Go to the left luggage.
It's quiet there.

Oh. Up there?

Thank you.

WHISTLE BLOWS

What about here?

It'll do.

What time do you have to leave?

In a while.

Both medicines look identical

but they perform very
different functions.

It's important they're kept
separately -

a fact that my brother
conveniently ignores.

Do sit down.

I am concerned about Mrs H's future.

I think I've firmly put her job
at risk.

Well?

It's...rather different from what
I was expecting, I must confess.

Different?

"Different" meaning...?

Better.

Ah, we got there in the end.

Oh, yes, you want some more.
Feel free, please.

Would you like some?

No, thank you.
Brought me packed lunch. Ah.

That looks delicious. What is it?

Egg mayonnaise. Oh. My favourite.

Mine too.
Your mum must be a very good cook.

I made 'em myself, but she is that.
I'd be lying if I said otherwise.

Did you really make them yourself?
How very impressive.

Thank you, sir.
That's kind of you to say.

So...the badge -
do you like giraffes?

More than rats?

Giraffes are me favourite, sir.
Rats are a close second. Is that so?

Did you know that giraffes spend
most of their lives standing up?

Yes. Even when they're asleep
and giving birth.

Precisely so. Well, good choice.
Good choice, indeed.

What's your favourite, sir?

Oh, dear.

I think it would be remiss of me
to choose.

DOORBELL RINGS

TRISTAN SIGHS

Sorry to disturb you, Jess.

Over here. Hurry yourself, will you?

It's our Benjamin.
We were working in the field, and...

And he were kicked by a cow.

WHINING AND BARKING

OK, let's get him inside.

Careful.
DOG YELPS

Have you got him?

Put it in there.
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

It may be instructive
for our budding vet here.

I'd quite like to take
a look at Benjamin myself.

Haven't you got washing up to do?
That can wait.

Stop your faffin', will you?
I'm sorry.

I don't mean to be rude.

He means an awful lot to me,
you see, and I...

I can't see him like this
a second longer.Of course.

In there.

That's it, that's it.

Thank you.

Come through, Mr Sunningwell,
Door and blind please, Andrew.

It's all right. That's it.
There we are.

How do you do it, Mrs H?

You must be ravenous.
Here, have these.

I had a sandwich before I left.

A sandwich don't fill you up.

It did me.

I've got no appetite left.

Well...there's always room
for something sweet.

That's what you used to say...
remember?

Look inside.

Go on, open it up.

You shouldn't have gone to
so much trouble.

You used to like 'em.

I still do...

..sometimes.

Well, you can take 'em with you
for the trip, if you like.

Y-You don't need to eat them now.

Me bag's full to t'brim.

They look just how they used to.

Well...

..you didn't see all the burnt bits
and the misshapen offcuts.

Dad always liked 'em burnt,
didn't he?

Oh, my word.
He used to ask me to burn them.

It broke my heart, it did,
every time.

SHE CHUCKLES

How is your dad?

Don't know.

You don't?

Don't speak to him any more.

Why's that?

Why all the questions?

Sorry.

I can't stand the fool.

You can't speak about him like that,
Edward.

You were close to your dad.

That was before I saw him
for who he really was.

Is he still drinking?

Course he is. He's always drinking.

And how about you?

Not any more.

Your dad is a victim of his
circumstances, like many people are.

That's no excuse for the way
he treated you, though, is it?

I don't hate him, Edward.

You don't?

He were a good man before the war.

And a damaged one after.

SHE SIGHS

Does it damage everyone - war?

Not everyone.

You were OK.Yeah.

Yeah. Suppose I were...

..lucky.

DOG WHINES

Andrew.

You look like there's something
you want to say.

It's nothing, sir.

Well, I were just thinking
to myself,

is the injury internal or external?

Cos...I can't see any marked wound
on him.

Indeed. You're bang on.

Almost impossible to identify.

He was injured all right,
kicked by a cow.

I should've kept my eye on him.

Do you know exactly where
he was kicked?

Knocked down before I could see
t'poor lad.

Can't you help him?

He may be concussed.

We'll have to go carefully if we
give him any general anaesthetic.

There's a small chance
he may not return.

He's all I've got.

It's just me and him.

It'll be all right, sir.

Mr Farnon here
will make little Benjamin better.

SHEEP BAAS

Easy, Nelly.

Easy.

How is she?

James?

She's not doing so well right now.
But things might change.

Is it bad?

The infection is spreading across
her hoof.

So what happens now?

Well, she has a temperature,
and she's not eating.

So, I've given her
an injection of Prontosil.

We'll have to wait and see.

And if it...gets worse?

Well, sometimes they can deteriorate
quite quickly.

And in those cases, we would have to
remove the necrotic part of the hoof

in order to stop the infection
from spreading.

So, if it does spread? Then what?

The best thing would be
to put Nelly down.

You said war damaged Dad.

In some ways, yes.

What if it damages me?

It won't.

It won't even touch you, Edward,
cos it won't happen.

This seemed the right thing to do,

us meeting...just in case.

There will be another time.

Many more.

How's your training?
Do they treat you well?

They do.

It, er...

..takes time to make
good friends, though.

It always does.

But, er...

..no-one really knows
when I started, so...

..I could pretend to be
someone good,

which is nice, I suppose.

You ARE someone good.

Look at me.

Edward Hall...

..I've always seen the good in you.

Then why did you give me
to t'police?

Did you see the good in me then?

Yes.

I always have.

I did that...for your own good.

For my own good?

I know it didn't seem like it
at the time,

or now even. Borstal ruined me.

I know it were hard.

It took away
all the good I had left.

All the good you saw in me then -
it's all gone.

No, it in't.
You're stronger than you think.

No, it has.

And you did that to me.

INDUSTRIOUS MUSIC PLAYS

DOG BARKS AND WHINES

Hey, hey.

What's wrong? Eh?

She's waiting for our housekeeper
to return.

She's like a mother to that one.

Is that right?

Don't worry.

Mother will be back for you
in time.

All right?

Would you like something to drink,
Mr Sunningwell?

Aye, that'd be nice.

I promised her
I'd take good care of him.

Who? Me mum.

He's the only living, breathing
thing I've got left

connecting me to her.

I've let her down.

You haven't let her down,
Mr Sunningwell.

You sound so sure.

No, I think she'd be proud of what
you've done for little Benjamin.

He's in good hands,

and he'll be back by your side
in no time.

How do you take it? Your tea?

Milk. No sugar.

That were her doing.

Won't be a minute.

Thank you, son.

HE EXHALES SHARPLY

DOG WHINES SOFTLY

Andrew, look at his hip.

Do you see? It juts out slightly.

It's dislocated.

Don't worry, old chap. We'll have
you chasing cows in no time.

I don't think he'll be in any hurry
to do that, Mr Farnon.

We've just used a very small amount,

just enough to relax his muscles.

All right.

That's it. That's it, good boy.

You have a little kip.

That's it.

Go on.

That's it.

Now...

..we have to clip that
back into place.

I'm going to need your assistance.

Ready, sir.

Have you ever played tug-of-war?

Yes.

Then you'll know what to do.

Take hold of the end
of that towel, nice and tight.

That's it. Nice and firm.

Good.

Are you sure about this, sir?
Don't want to harm him.

You'll be fine. I'm with you.

I'm going to count back from three.
You ready?

Ready. Then take the strain.

Three.

Two.

One.
CRACKING

Relax.

That's it.

There we are.

Congratulations, young man.

You've just treated
your first patient.

How do you feel?

Ecstatic, sir. Absolutely ecstatic.

Perhaps you'd like to tell
Mr Sunningwell the good news.

Yes.

The other one. Oh, yes.

Mr Sunningwell,
he had a dislocated leg

but we've popped it
back into place now.

He's all well, he's better.
SIEGFRIED CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Thank you very much, Mr Farnon,

for taking such good care
of my boy.Really no need.

You should be proud of your lad.
You've got a good 'un there.

Keep him close.

Not all of us are so lucky.

DOOR OPENS

Are you happy to see your son?

Oh. Yes, my son.

Thank you.

SHE MOUTHS

Edward...

..I couldn't lie for you.

I never wanted you to lie for me.

Well, then, what did you want?

Mr Granville trusted me
with his house, his things.

I bet you wish you never let me
into his house.

No. You were always welcome,
wherever I worked.

You always are.

You've always cared so much about
the people you work for.

Edward! They meant more to you
than we ever did.

That's not true.

You were humiliated by me.

Is that how you felt?

It's the truth.

It couldn't be further
from the truth.

I love you...more than anything
in this world, Edward.

You need to know
how much you mean to me.

From the moment you were born

to this moment right now...

..that's never ceased one bit.

TRISTAN MUTTERS RECIPE

Potato. Yes, right.

You do like potato, don't you?
Yes.

Yes, far more than egg mayonnaise -
that's for certain.

That's a pity. These are splendid.

I don't doubt it.

Would you like to taste some?

No, thank you.

Me mam likes to cook potatoes.

A versatile vegetable,
she calls 'em.

Your mum sounds like a wise woman.

Aye, she is.

So, do you have
any brothers or sisters, Andrew?

No, it's just me.

You can't possibly imagine
how fortunate you are.

I'm not sure about that.

It'd be nice
to have someone around.

A younger brother to reprimand?

Or an older one to show me t'way.

You don't need that.

You're an intelligent young man,
wise beyond your years.

Oh, good God, not again.
Can't you cook anything else?

I'm happy to relinquish my duties
if you'd like to take over.

I'll go and see Florence. No.

No, I thought not.

Andrew here was absolutely
professional earlier -

compassionate, sensitive, caring...

You know, that approach to vetting
isn't unique, actually.

I beg to differ.

Well...perhaps you're not as
attentive as you always claim.

KNOCK AT DOOR
What's that?

That'll be me dad.

Oh. Are you off already?

One day, Andrew...

..you're going to be a credit
to our profession. Mark my words.

Thank you, sir.
That's kind of you to say.

Well...goodbye.

Goodbye. Goodbye, Andrew.

DOOR OPENS

OUTSIDE: Now then, lad.

Have you had a good day?
Dad, it were brilliant.

A sheepdog called Benjamin
came in... Aye?

..and Mr Farnon asked me to go
and help treat him...

Here. How is she?

I'm afraid she's
deteriorating rapidly.

Her temperature's increased.

Thanks, James.

What do you think we should do?

Why are you asking me?

Cos I want to know what you think.

Well, James said that removing
a small part of the hoof

is the best chance we have
of saving Nelly.

I think that's what we should do.

But I don't... I don't know.

I-It's hard.

Aye. Always is.

But I think you're right.

I think that's what we should do,

and James'll give her something
to numb the pain.

BELL RINGS

It'll be here in a minute.

You can't get the next one?

I haven't a choice in it -
it's the Navy.

Not a day's gone by where
I've not felt guilty for what I did.

The past can't be changed.

No, you're right. It can't be.

But I've felt far more guilty

that you got in that position in
the first place.

I don't understand.

I wondered where I'd gone wrong,
what I did to you.

I committed the crime. Not you.

I'm your mother.
It were my job look after you.

It IS my job.
BELL RINGS

Stay a moment longer.
I've got to go.

Edward...let me walk with you.

You don't need to.I'd LIKE to.

Edward...

I panicked that day.

I didn't do it to punish you.
I didn't.

I thought it would fix the mistakes
I had made, somehow.

I'm sorry, Edward, I'm so sorry.

I never stopped loving you.

Edward.

Edward.

Edward.

Edward.

Bye. Bye.

Take good care of yourself,
will you?

Please?

I-I'll make room for the tin.

WHISTLE DROWNS SPEECH

What did you say? Edward?

I can't hear you. Say it again.
What is it?

Edward?
WHISTLE BLOWS

"I love you, Ma."

Wh...?

He said, "I love you, Ma."

SHE SNIFFLES

That's it.

Easy.
SHEEP BAAS

You're all right.

I'm sorry.

What for?

Making you feel like
you weren't good enough.

It's all right.
You didn't make me feel that way.

It's so big, this world.

So much bigger than Darrowby,
though we often forget it.

I know.

And I don't wanna be anywhere else.

You can do anything you want, Jenny.

Be anything.
And if that's being a farmer,

then so be it.

You're not just saying that?

The truth is...
you've always been a farmer,

a truly excellent one.

No, I haven't. Yes, you have.

Well, if I've been any good at
anything, it's all been down to you.

It went well.

HELEN CHUCKLES

Thank you, James.

Thank you.

Aargh!

You all right?
TRISTAN GRUNTS

No, of course I'm not. Come here.

Come here.

Ow! Oh, sh.

I hope this isn't how you treat
the animals.

What on Earth were you thinking?

Rustling something up for Mrs H.

Mashed potato, I presume?

Shepherd's pie, actually...

Very enterprising.

Come on, that's it.

Thumb over. Thumb down.

There we are.

I used to be just like him,
you know. Who?

Andrew.

When I was his age, I used to
look up to you the way he did.

I was just as shy.

Timid but curious.

And eager to learn everything
from you.

But I think you always resented me
a little.

I mean, w-why wouldn't you?
You were lumbered with a kid.

And you had no choice
but to take me in. Pish.

Is that untrue?

What's untrue is that
I didn't care about you.

All right, I wasn't quite ready
back then, for parenthood.

I didn't need a parent.
I never needed a parent.

I didn't mean you, Tristan.

Before you came -

years before,
early in our marriage -

I told Evelyn that I...

..wasn't ready for children.

What kind of father would I be?
The notion was absurd.

She didn't understand.

She saw something in me I...

I didn't see.

Then you came.

And you needed our time.

Then...she got ill.

Just when I was ready,

she got ill,

she died,

and, erm,

there we are.

You never told me.

There's not much to tell.

I probably would've done
things differently.

If I'd had another chance.

A part of me wishes I had.

Differently?

With you.

MRS HALL:Is it the biscuits
you're after? Come on. Jess, in.

Come on. Hello?

SHE CHUCKLES

Hello. Come on, then. There you go.

Oh, my. What happened here?

I was, er, trying to make you

a surprise shepherd's pie supper,
Mrs H.

The oven fought back.

Oh, Tris.

That's very kind of you.

Now, I've a tincture for that.

No, look, I'll be fine.
You've just got back -

you must be gasping for a brew.

Why don't you go sit
in the living room

and I'll bring one through for you?
What about your hand?

I'll survive. Go on. Both of you.

DOG BARKS
Come on, you.

Come on, Jess.

SHE SIGHS WITH RELIEF

SHE CHUCKLES SOFTLY

Here we are.

Oh, thank you, love. Oh!

Mrs Hall's shortbread. Thank you.

So, how's your Florence?

I haven't seen her -
been rushed off my feet all day.

Jess. Well, you've passed
the baton back to me now,

so go on - go and see her.

By the way,

the place looks spotless. Well done.

Indeed it does.

No jibes from you?

No. Credit where credit's due.

Tristan steadied the ship
marvellously.

Good to hear.

SHE SIGHS WEARILY

I wish the past would invite me back
to rectify a thing or two.

Whatever it is, Mr Farnon,

you're forgiven.

THEY CHUCKLE SOFTLY

Did he turn up?

Mm.

How was it?

I don't know how to explain it,
really.

It were all too brief -
over before I knew it.

And yet...

..the very ground beneath me
feels like it's shifted.

I feel...

..lighter.

He's finally realised
how much you care?

Oh, I don't know.

I hope so.

I don't think any of us know

quite how to express our gratitude
to you, Mrs Hall.

SHE EXHALES SHARPLY

Believe me.
