All language subtitles for The Halcyon UK S1 E4

Hurricanes come home.

Our fighters land after a brisk
but successful encounter

with hit-and-run raiders.

These are some of the boys who've
flouted Hitler's air offensive.

In due course
they'll stop it altogether.

They take it easy between raids...

You and Freddie.

Sport to be had when there's no
serious work to be done in the sky.

88 Squadron, two planes down,
145 Squadron, one plane down,

392 Squadron, one plane down,

405 Squadron...

Wait, sorry, 392 Squadron?

One plane down.

Do you... Do you know who?

The RAF know.

We just process the numbers.

My brother's in 392.

- I thought it was romantic.
- Eurch! She was a drip.

And if any man told me that
frankly he didn't give a damn,

I'd frankly clip him
round the earhole.

Set upon by squadrons of German
planes and one of them went down.

- We don't know which.
- Have you told your mother?

What's happened?

This is meant to be confidential,
but... one of Freddie's squadron

was shot down over the channel
last night.

The RAF haven't released
any details yet.

If it was him?

They'd send a telegram.

- Emma, why don't you...?
- My shift starts in five minutes.

- It's fine.
- No, no.

I'm going to be late and you
are a stickler for punctuality.

- That doesn't matter.
- Five minutes.

Really.

So what's the occasion, Delane?
You bought another network?

Hell, no. One was enough.

This is my way of showing
appreciation.

Your show's done well.

Numbers have been strong, I mean...

"Oh, they could always be stronger".

Exactly.

But do you know
what's making people tune in?

Well, London during wartime,
it's pretty compelling.

Joe half our audience couldn't even
find London on a map.

People are tuning in because of you.

Which is why I want to build our
fall schedule around your new show.

Enjoy your drinks, gentlemen.

My new show?
Joe O'Hara's Eye On America.

New York City,
state-of-the-art studios.

What about the work I'm doing here?

It's the Little Leagues, Joe.

I'm calling you up to the Majors.

Come on, Freddie.

Come on.

Room service, sir.
I didn't order anything.

It's from Adil, uh, Mr. Joshi.

He knew you were working and thought
some coffee might be of use.

Oh, erm...

Do you want me to take it back down,
Mr. Hamilton?

No, no, no.

There's a reason
your father hid that from you.

He didn't hide it.

It was just in with his things.

He used to play it every Sunday
at church.

When you've finished torturing the
poor thing, we've got a show to do.

May I help you, madam?

- Probably not, love.
- Here to see someone?

We're on the edge of a
brave new world here, Joe.

RCA's sunk millions into television,

CBS has opened studios
in Grand Central.

It's the future.
You do all right by me,

ten years from now
there'll be a glowing box

in every home with your face on it.

Now you're giving me
the hard sell here.

No.

This is what I'd be giving you.

- Please.
- It's my daughter.

♪ She can love ♪

It's my daughter.
You can't come in here.

♪ That I do ♪ I've come all this way
and I'm seeing my daughter.

I'm sorry, madam, you can't come in.
Get your bloody hands off me!

Bets!

It's fine, Mr. Feldman. I'm sorry.

I told you.
My daughter's the main attraction.

Mum, shall we...

It's just I'm due a break anyway,
so...

You can wrap up your show here
on Monday.

Well, I haven't said yes, yet.

It's a simple choice.
Do you want to stay in a warzone,

or do you want to be a star?

I'm sorry to hear
you're leaving us.

Please have a safe flight
back to Chicago.

Thank you very much.

The great American exodus continues?

Hm. It's understandable.

I think you're gonna have to
add my name to that list.

Would you like us
to book you a flight? No.

Mr. Delane has a plane scheduled
for Monday evening.

Very good.

I hope you'll consider the Halcyon
again, should you choose to return.

Your room's been covered
by your employer,

so all that's left
is to collate your bar bill.

I'll have someone bring it up
to your room.

That's it?

Was there something else?

Just you don't seem surprised.

Most of the Americans
are leaving town.

I suppose invasion rumours
are rather alarming.

Well, this isn't an evacuation.

I'm not quitting because of the war.

It's a fantastic career opportunity.

I understand. Just a coincidence.

Mm.

I hope you've enjoyed London.

You know, I er...
I never went to a pub.

I don't think you'd like them.

They don't serve martinis.

Why are you here?

Me and Martin are done and dusted.

I've moved in with your aunt.

So you're not going back
to Liverpool?

He can beg and beg, I've made my
mind up.

Oh, I've heard that before.

I know. And more fool me
for not listening to you.

I'm sick and tired of wasting my
life, picking up after that loafer.

Besides, I missed my little girl.

We'll see how long that lasts.

Go on, eat your dinner.

Ah, Tom, did you take Mr. Hamilton
his coffee?

Uh-huh.

And did he seem pleased or...?

I dunno. It's just coffee.

- Stop it.
- What?

They'll start calling me
the merry widow.

You shouldn't worry
what the munchkins think.

What's a munchkin?

Don't you know?
It's this film they're all seeing.

Well, that explains it.

I've never been to the picture house.

- No! Why not?
- Cos it's full of people.

I mean, not "people".
You know, "people".

- Have you told her yet?
- About Freddie? No.

She's been through enough.

Can I help you?
Telegram, miss.

Wilfred, please inform Mr. Price
in room 217 there's a telegram.

I imagine his sister
has had her twins now.

Er, could you check these names
for me, Miss. Garland?

Emma.

Pilot Officer Radimsky pancaked
down into the Channel.

But thankfully
a trawler picked him up

and he was transferred
to the Queen Alexandra. So...

- Oh, God, you heard something.
- Toby did.

We didn't know if it was you.

Oh, Em, I'm sorry.

Ahem. Your Lordship.

- You're working late.
- Sorting through some things.

So I hear Mr. Delane wanted
to see you.

How much did he offer you?

A gentleman never discusses money.

Especially not obscene amounts.

Taking a couple of souvenirs?

I just don't want the next guy
to get my best material.

There isn't going to be a next guy.

After your final broadcast,
the show's getting scrapped.

Who's going to report from London
for the network?

- Nobody, I guess.
- Well, what if the President sends troops?

They'll need a correspondent.

I suppose Delane doesn't think
that'll happen.

Or he doesn't care.

Freddie.

- What is it?
- We fell asleep.

Yes, we did.

I better go back to my room
and you back to yours.

Don't I own this place?

Do you want my father to find out?

Your mother?

You're ashamed of me.

My secret's out.

Though you're right, though.

They'd do all they could
to keep us apart.

I should start moving. I want to
visit Stan in the hospital

before we're called back to base.

Are we safe here in London?

Optimistically, we hold them off.

The Americans join the war effort

and our combined forces are enough
to push back the enemy.

And if the Americans decide
against helping?

O'Hara's boss is sending him home.

That's a shame.

We could use all the support
we can get.

We hope for the best,
prepare for the worst.

Oh!

- Mrs. Hobbs, Good morning.
- Sorry, Your Lordship, I didn't...

I didn't realise
someone was in here.

No, it's fine.

Erm, you can come back later.

Mrs. Hobbs.

Yes, your Lordship.

Why would I know anything about it?

Because you're the eyes
and ears of this place.

It's none of our business.

We can't keep secrets
from each other, Peggy.

That's what the Germans want.

What secrets might they be,
Mrs. Hobbs?

Nothing, sir.

I do hope so.

Because if I thought you were
spreading malicious gossip

about the staff,
or, indeed, the Hamilton family,

you would be out of that door,
before you knew what was happening.

Mm.

I fear she may be right.

About the Germans?

No. The other thing.

Emma and Freddie.

Have you spoken to Emma about it?

I'm going to lay down
the law this evening.

She won't listen to you.

There are a thousand ways
he could break her heart.

And not just because
he's aristocracy.

The war as well. I've seen the way
she watches that door.

One day he might not walk back
through it.

Are you sure this is my bar bill?

I am sure, Mr. O'Hara.

But this one is on the house.

It better be.

- There you are.
- Thanks.

Oh, Miss. Garland?

Is this number right?

It does seem a little light.

So, it looks like Delane is shutting
down foreign reporting.

You must be very hard to replace,
Mr. O'Hara.

Well, this new show they're lining
up, it's gonna be big.

An assistant's position maybe?
Be a chance for you to see the world.

That's very kind Mr. O'Hara,

but I'm in no hurry to abandon
the people I care about.

I've found that war makes you
realise what really matters.

Oh, I've done my bit, Emma.

I-I apologise. That was...
that was very rude of me.

About that drink.

I have a few hours to spare
if it suits.

It might be your last chance
to visit that pub.

Oh, what are we doing here?

- Visitor for you.
- Emma.

Mr. O'Hara.

- Boys.
- And what brings you here?

I guess we were in the area.

Mother, you're supposed to knock!

Why?

It's not as though you've got a girl
in here.

And I need your opinion,
about my outfit.

Why are you asking me?

Well, you know how to dress like a...
like an ordinary person.

Well, you look like you always do.

Yes. That's the problem.

Toby, if rumour reached you that...

I had dined...

with a man,

what would you think?

I'd assume he was a friend
of Father's,

offering consolation on your loss.

Great.

Glass. Metal. Water's rushing in.

For a second
I thought I'd already died.

So? You going to tell his story on
your radio show, then, O'Hara?

Unfortunately, Mr. O'Hara will be
leaving us to go back home.

Well, technically,
it's er under discussion.

Well, you've probably picked
the right time.

Where is home?

Well, I'd be going to New York,
but home would be Illinois.

Ah. Go, Blackhawks.

Blackhawks? What's that?

Only the greatest
ice hockey team in the world.

My uncle has a friend
who repairs their skates.

He says Americans talk too much.

But that they are good people.

Well, he's got the first part right,
at least.

Can I get you something, Stan?

I did ask the doctor for vodka,
but...

I'm all right, thank you.

- I know what you're doing.
- I'm not doing anything, Mr. O'Hara.

I just wanted to give you a chance
to say goodbye.

OK, first, it's Joe.

Not Mr. O'Hara. And, second, I get it.

You want me to see the human cost,

the people at the heart of this,
the ones really making a difference.

You can make a difference.

You know,
I don't know who you think I am.

I've read about your broadcasts,

how Americans react to your words,
people listen.

Because that's what I do!

Oh, I say the words,
I sound convincing,

I turn bullshit into gold because
it's my job to keep them listening.

It doesn't mean that I believe it.

It's just the job.

I'm sorry. Really.

But you've got the wrong guy.

♪ I've learnt my lesson now ♪

♪ I know they count
those foolish little things ♪

♪ Forgive me, dear, and then ♪

♪ When we're in love again ♪

♪ I won't forget the little things ♪

Who's this, then?
No, no wait, let me guess.

Hutch, right?

One of mum's favourites.

She asked you for money yet?

It's coming. You know it is.

- Always does.
- Honestly, she's changed.

You must see that.

She's drinking less.
Her hems are longer.

I really think this time
she'll stick around.

Of course.

If you're going to patronise me,
Sonny, you could at least try harder.

Your mother is waiting in the bar!

What's she doing here?

Oh, glad you've finally decided
to show up.

- This pickaninny won't serve me.
- Mum, this is where I work.

You can't just keep showing up
unannounced.

You think I'm not good
enough for this place..

- No, I didn't mean that.
- Well, I was good enough once!

I know I don't deserve
another chance.

I'm sorry, love.
Sometimes I... I just don't think.

That's right, Gloria. You don't.

Betsey just meant that tables
need to be reserved in advance.

But don't worry,
we keep this one free, for VIPs.

Oh...

Well, if you're sure.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

No heckling during tonight's show.

- What do you think, Billy?
- Oh...

I reckon it's the Messerschmitt 109.

You've got a good eye,
I'll give you that.

Why the hell is everyone
just standing around?

There's a dogfight in the sky.

We're in a goddamn warzone!

These people are nuts.

I can't be the only one who thinks
that this is terrifying,

German planes over the city.

It's not good. It shows they're
getting closer every day.

And...

they've been dropping
propaganda leaflets

up and down the coast as well.

So why is nobody scared?

Don't mistake fortitude
for fearlessness.

You know, this new job, it's...

what I've been waiting for it
all my life.

- You don't have to explain yourself.
- I've never had a problem leaving.

Jobs, cities, girls;

you give me ten minutes
and my bags are packed.

And are your bags packed?

I'm halfway there.

The evacuation of British children
is going smoothly and efficiently.

The Ministry of Health
says great progress

is being made
with the first part...

Excuse me!

Railways, the road transport
organisations,

the local authorities and teachers,

the voluntary workers and the
householders in reception areas...

- Shall we sit here?
- Yes.

Are all playing their part
splendidly.

Well, it's bigger than I expected.

Well, yes, it's for all the people.

Have you really never been curious
to come?

I suppose.

It simply never occurred to me that
I might be the one missing out.

That there, the er, Ostrava,
that's a Polish vodka, right?

It's Czechoslovakian.
But it's on the border with Poland.

Good enough.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
I want the whole bottle.

Mr. O'Hara, erm it's not my place
to say, but you may have a problem.

Just give me the bottle, Adil.

Very well.

You don't need to send coffee up
to my room.

Oh. I'm sorry, Mr. Hamilton,
I just thought,

I know you work long hours and...

While I appreciate the attempts
at a friendship,

- there is a line and I think...
- Of course, Mr. Hamilton.

I... I am sorry if I crossed it.

Right.

Yes. Er, no, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry too. I...

Please.

You have nothing to apologise for,
sir.

Right.

I didn't know
you'd taken up smoking.

I was just looking at it.

- It's only a lighter, Sonny.
- Of course.

It's only a lighter.

It's only a few drinks.

A few meals.

A sob story at the end

and Betsey handing over her wages
to help her poor old mum.

I didn't come here for a handout.

Just thought you'd help yourself.

It's all right for you.
Places like this.

- You wouldn't understand.
- Believe me...

I understand.

Betsey offers you anything,
you say no.

She's not gonna drop her knickers
for you

just because you throw
some of your cash around.

That's the other thing.

She doesn't ever find out
about this.

Do you know the worst thing?

She still thinks the world of you.

Even after all you've done to her.

Is he worse?

Running a fever.
Blood pressure's low.

It's er... a gift.

You can put it on the table.

Hey, Joe.

Hey, there, buddy.

You have not gone yet?

Tomorrow.

After my last broadcast.

How do I look?

Terrible.

My wife is on the train now
from Newcastle.

I don't want her to worry.

She will be angry.

Because you crashed your plane?

Because I will fly again.

My unit was wiped out in Poland.

In England, though...

we found a home.

And...

Moje miasto to zawsze pada.

Stan? Stan,
I don't understand you, buddy.

Nurse!

Nurse! Somebody!

Out of the way.

Out of the way, please.

He's gone into shock.

What's happening?
You're gonna help him, right?

Outside.

- Wait outside.
- Is he OK?

Oh. They have an interval.

Look who it is.

Like in a proper theatre.

Ahem.

- I'm sorry, I have to go.
- What's the matter?

Excuse me.

Do you mind?

I'm sorry.

- Lady Hamilton.
- Will you arrange a car?

I've seen enough.

You have the right to live your own
life and do as you wish.

I asked you for a bloody car.

♪ Oh, how I remember ♪

♪ That night in September ♪

♪ When you said we were through ♪

♪ I cried through November ♪

♪ Long nights in December ♪

♪ Spending my days feeling blue ♪

What are you laughing at, eh?

We'll all be the same when
the bloody bombs come down!

- Excuse me?
- Sorry, Mr. Garland, my mother.

I don't care.
Get this under control. Now.

Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.

O'Hara?

Hey. I didn't realise
you were going to be here.

Have you been to see Stan?

Yeah. I just er wanted
to bring him... this bottle

Listen, Freddie.

Stan's dead.

I'm sorry. The doctor said
it was septic shock, that...

it happens and er... I'm sorry.

What did he say?

His last words.

Well, he said he was going
to fly again.

Can I buy you a drink?

I'm due back at base in an hour.

- You're a tough kid, Freddie.
- No, I'm not.

We just don't have a choice.

I'm sorry about this.

Betsey.

At least we know
where you get it from.

She'll be gone tomorrow.

You don't know that.

I just wish she'd come out
and say it.

That she regrets having me,
that I was a mistake.

Then I wish she'd go for good
so I don't have to waste my time,

waiting and hoping
for her to come back.

Hey!

Exactly how good were my numbers?

Like I said, could always be better.

But they were going up.
Week after week.

Delane, I think we've got something
special right here, right now.

- Trust me, it'll pass.
- I disagree.

This is the story; a nation standing
alone on the edge of war

and you want to end our entire
foreign correspondence.

The hillbillies didn't wanna hear about
my brother in the Argonne Forest in 1918

and they sure don't want
to hear about this right now.

I'm not asking you
to support intervention.

Good. Because over one hundred
thousand fine American men

never made it home last time

and it didn't change
a goddamn thing.

We can't just turn our backs
on the people here.

Sleep it off, Joe.

When you're in a lifeboat, it's best
to stop rocking. Listen to me.

We can make a difference
and we don't have to strap on a gun

or set foot in a cockpit,
just through words on the radio.

Are you done?

Yeah, I guess I am.

Have a good flight.

Mr. Delane.

I hope you have a safe flight.

Thank you, Mr. Garland.

Do you wish us to send someone up
to Mr. O'Hara's room

to make sure he's ready?

I believe Mr. O'Hara is staying.

What happened?

Well, that's the trouble
with someone who talks for a living.

Sometimes they just don't know
when to shut up.

Freddie says you were with Stan
when he...

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Can I help at all?

Actually... yeah, you can.

You can get me some ice.

I've never been summoned before.

We shouldn't have looked over
at her Ladyship in the cinema.

Eyes and ears at the back of her
head. Could tell we were gossiping.

She can't sack me anyway.
I don't even work here.

Stay calm. I will do the talking.

Good morning.

Sonny, you ready to start?

I think I might have embarrassed you
last night.

You didn't embarrass me.

You embarrassed yourself.

You've got a whole new life
for yourself here.

Left us all behind.

I don't feel like I belong anymore.

You're going back to him.

He needs me, Bets.

You'll be needing money
for the bus fare, then.

I just wanted to see my little girl.

Make sure she was fine.

Don't you work her too hard, Sonny.

I can't promise anything, Miss. Day.

You were never a bloody mistake.

So, what do you want to see us
about, Your Ladyship?

That's a lovely accent.
Where are you from?

- Er, Edinburgh, Your Ladyship.
- Ah.

The Athens of the North.

Don't look so worried, my dear.

As I've chosen to spend more time
at the hotel,

I thought it would be prudent
to get to know some of my staff.

Er, well, I actually don't er...
We are all facing difficult times.

And we need to pull together.

You know what they say?

Careless talk costs lives.

Good.

You may go.

One more thing.

How does it end?

The motion picture.

Oh. Erm, a bit of faffing,
bit of a barney.

He loves her, then he don't.
Bit of a...

slap. And then he says, "Frankly,
my dear I don't give a..."

Ahem!

"a fig."

Yeah. "I don't give a fig."

Oh.

I'm not saying I told you so.
I think you are.

Just, it's no wonder
she doesn't visit much,

if that's the reception she gets.

Betsey...

I was wrong about her.

I apologise.

Now, can we please focus on work?

Go double time here
into the middle eight and then...

Good place for a trumpet solo.

Nah.

I got rid of it. You were right.
I was rubbish.

Are we ready?

Yeah, we're ready.

You can't watch that door forever.

If someone had told you
and mum to stop?

That was different.

- What you're doing...
- I know what you're going to say.

That he's titled
and it could never work.

I was going to say, be careful.

That won't be the last scare,
not by a long chalk.

I fear we won't all escape this war
unscathed.

Hope for the best.

Prepare for the worst.

Hello, America.

This is A View From London with
your correspondent Joe O'Hara.

And I want to talk to you
about two pilots.

One was called Stanislav Radimsky.

I only met him a few times.

I know he was married.
He liked to drink.

Liked the Blackhawks.

And I know he died defending
this country... far from his home.

He was 21 years old and his name's
not going to go down in history.

His time was short.

But it meant something.

Then there's the other pilot...
Freddie Hamilton.

Whose reaction to the death
of his squad mate

was to get back into that cockpit.

Right now, as I'm speaking to you,
he's taking to those skies again.

There will be danger.

And there will be young men
who don't make it home.

These are the stories
unfolding every day,

of heroism...

heartbreak...

honour and despair.

But you don't give a damn
about any of that.

At least that's what I'm told.

They say you'd rather be spoon fed
mindless entertainment.

But I know you're better than that.

I know you deserve more.

And I know you're listening.

This is Joe O'Hara, signing off.

Take care, America.

Shouldn't you be on the plane?

Stopped by to hear
the final broadcast.

Well, I hope you enjoyed it.

Is this stuff all true?

About the pilots?

Does it matter?

Yeah. It's true.

It's a hell of a story, Joe.

I think um...

I think I'd like to hear
how it ends.

Mr. Garland.

Where's decent that I can stay
for less than two pounds a night?

You'll struggle
to find decent on that.

Ah, you must know some places.

Miss. Garland, Mr. O'Hara would like
a recommendation

for somewhere to stay.

Where do we normally suggest?

Oh, well, I hear 201 is very nice.
201? where is that?

Second floor.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

Delane may have kept me on the air,
but the budget's been slashed.

Don't concern yourself with it.
We look after our own.

I don't suppose your generosity...

It will not extend to your bar bill,
I'm afraid, no.

Mr. Feldman,
bring my bags back upstairs, please.

I have work to do.
