Liverpool's New York.

Yes, that's Alexis Sails next Friday.

I've made up my mind.

Goodbye, Connor.

It was me.

The dose is a teaspoon a day in food or drink.

This tea?

In his tea would be perfect.

Why are you telling people Spencer's a coward?

He stays whilst other lights go off to fight.

What would you call him?

We're at war. Read the literature.

If we can't change the way we farm within two months,

we'll be affected.

You can't read, can you, sir?

I helped my son and gave him a father's blessing.

No! No! No!

We're going to be very happy here, aren't we?

The plane, Jack, was flying crashed.

Your husband is dead.

I'm not going to be a fool.

I'm not going to be a fool.

Morning, Bryn.

Morning.

Morning.

No, Miriam.

No, she's been up all hours writing letters

for the W.I.'s friendless soldier campaign.

She does seem to have taken a real lead on that.

And when she does get to bed the air raid siren test on Elpe,

so I gave her the mop.

Morning.

Shout-out.

Yes, sir.

Oh, poor girl.

You all right with chops for supper tomorrow?

I happen to know the very thing to do with chops.

Oh, tell me what it is and I'll be happy to do it.

We could cut out the middle woman and I could.

You?

You said that with a hint of trepidation?

No.

More like a large pinch of trepidation.

The sprinkling of outright disdain.

No man has ever offered to cook me supper before.

Why not hard to believe?

Surely Adam could.

Adam?

Adam attempted to boil an egg.

Adam attempted to boil an egg for breakfast once and burnt the water.

Well, why don't you allow me to cook you supper?

Very well.

I have the ingredients for a Welsh rabbit on standby, just in case.

Oh, you have little faith.

Actually, of almost no faith, but then let's keep that between ourselves.

I hope she's nice.

Well, no reason why she should be.

The unpleasant have as much right to be evacuated as the pleasant.

Well, that's not her, is it?

I mean, she's not a child.

And she's blind?

Excuse me.

One advantage of me not being blind is that I can see quite clearly that she is.

I just don't look as if anyone else is getting off.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, my dear.

Are you by any chance?

Is the bell right?

How many other blinds were we me expecting to meet?

I wasn't expecting to meet any.

Oh, I don't believe this.

Not again.

Sorry, Ed. Again?

You think they would make the same mistake twice?

You were at least expecting an evacuee from Liverpool.

Oh, yes.

But not a blind one.

Or a grown-up one.

You'll have to telephone the billoting officer?

Perhaps it'll be a case of third time, Lucky.

Why not second time?

Do you have to go back again?

Oh, I appreciate the sentiment behind thinking you can take me on, but are you entirely sure

you know what you're doing?

Only time will tell.

Oh.

But I assure you we will certainly give it our all.

We?

Oh, um, Claire and Cookie.

She can't see that.

Oh, I'm Claire.

Oh.

Cookie and I work for the bargains.

I'm Cookie Loven.

Welcome to Great Paxford Isabel.

Thank you.

It's a pleasure to meet you, and may I?

Thank you.

And we'll just take a short walk home.

Oh, is it, is it nearby?

It's about five or two minutes.

You don't rush.

You need to be accurate.

Not fast.

How's that?

Excellent.

Brilliant.

One down, one just to go.

She can do them now, Stan.

I would have longer take your mum can do them.

Just, just take me to her.

When Stan does, is it fast and joined up?

It doesn't have to be like that.

What is it?

I've never written me name on anything before.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

More letters?

More letters?

Shouldn't larger than no ones write to them.

Have their spirit kept up.

There's only night.

Everyone's doing there a bit for our boys.

This is mine.

Don't w15t up.

I'm influenced by her.

Uhh meueh.

Oh…

Nice, I guess.

Fogang Josie Andrz

Dan

Breakfast is ready.

From...

From...

From...

From...

She...

From...

From...

Dr. Campbell, there's something wrong with Barbies not moving.

I'll get my bag.

Bob...

Bob...

Please wake up.

What's happened?

I've been giving him their teaspoon of the remedy as Eric am instructed,

and it was doing him so much good that I've been giving him a little more recently.

What do you mean as Eric am instructed?

When she gave it to me.

Eric could give your remedy.

As to set the system after his food poisoning.

Do you still have it?

But ever kitchen.

Couldn't get it for me.

Now?

Immediately.

Will.

While you were out, Pat came round in a blind panic, convinced she'd killed Bob by giving him a double dose of this,

instead of the single teaspoon you'd advised.

Double?

Rendering Bob unconscious.

After considerable effort, he started to come round.

Sit down, Erica.

Will, by next leg.

If she'd given him any more, I'd read to think of a conversation we'd now be having.

What's in the bottle?

Bob told us Pat had slipped one evening serving so far.

I don't care what Bob said, only what you've done.

But she hadn't slipped.

We stood on their doorstep and he lied to us.

Erica.

We've both heard him shouting.

Couples occasionally shouted one another.

I may very soon find myself shouting at you if you do not tell me what is in this bottle.

I've seen him grab hold of Pat and drag her into the house.

None of our business.

None of yours, perhaps, but she's my friend.

What's in the bottle?

It's very dilute.

What is?

Lately, I'm salt.

Have you utterly lost your mind?

The dose was very dilute.

But not dilute enough for me not to lose my medical license or for you not to go to prison for sedating a man against his will.

With 50 I'm salt.

I had no idea she would give in double.

How could you be so stupid? We can lose everything.

What did you give in the right amount? He was working. Bob was calm. Pat was happier.

Don't sit there and try and justify this.

This stops now.

And you have to tell Pat what you've done.

And up to God she doesn't go to the police.

Four, five, six, seven, ten, eleven.

Left or right? I think it was... left.

She's going wrong. She might correct herself.

Where's she going?

Seven. And...

At this rate, into the garden.

Go and retrieve her, Claire.

If this is the fourth attempt to get down to the shelter, I'm aware of that.

We might be all out. She'll have to find her own way down to the shelter from anywhere in the house.

I'm also aware of that.

You sure you haven't bitten other more than she can chew.

I'm doing something wrong.

On the contrary. You're doing splendidly.

Thank you.

By way of a thank you.

How would you like to have dinner with me one evening?

Next week.

Dinner.

There's a restaurant in Chester that I've been...

...me need to try in a hotel.

The food is reportedly top notch.

You deserve a treat. Say yes.

Yes, that sounds lovely.

Could I feed the house, please?

Good afternoon, Mrs. Bowers. I'll just put you through.

Charlotte?

You haven't gotten that taken the children to my mother, have you?

No, I haven't.

I'm just going to call the children to the mother.

I'm going to call the children to my mother.

No, I haven't forgotten.

Well, I hope you and the children have a lovely time.

Bye.

Just you and me together.

I can't think of anything I'd like more.

Thank you.

Hi, John.

Mr. Tuck, sometime.

Otles.

You deserve it.

Coward.

You're a coward.

Where's your loyalty?

Coward.

How's your sleep?

How's your snarlings?

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

This is the first time you've ever heard of a father's name for a child.

Let's start this.

Stop this at once.

A young man may or may not be a coward.

But what is a mob that bathed a man behind his back?

I suggest we all go about our visions.

Come on.

Thank you, Mrs. Cameron.

If they're not too to teaching us one thing, it's how not to behave like them.

Now, if this goes well, it won't be the last meal I cook for you.

Yeah, we're going to tell me they're more than one dish.

I know several.

Some of them foreign.

Now, pass me your plate, please.

Hey, two eat. I'm starving.

I've got a 36 hour pass before we mobilize the front.

One of the lads dropped me off.

I couldn't tell you that I'm a surprise.

The most wonderful surprise ever.

Hello, Nick.

How's tricks?

Increasingly tricky as I'm sure you're aware.

Have I been getting a sense of it?

Now, you mentioned you were starving. Would you like a chop?

A chop? A whole chop?

I haven't had any meat resembling part of an actual animal for weeks.

You've lost weight.

I knew about 36 hours to fight me up.

Oh, well, it affects your another plate.

I can't tell you how good it is to see you.

The plate.

The plate.

If it's a white feather you want to deliver, stick it back on the duck's ass when it belongs.

No, it's Claire.

I'd like to talk to Spencer.

Came in the blackout, so you won't be seeing come in here.

It's not like that.

I've just finished work for the day.

Leave. My son. Alone.

No?

Knock here.

No, I wasn't standing with those people.

I just come out of the shop and I want to see what they were looking at.

I didn't even realize it was your bicycle until you walked up.

When you heard Jenny call me a coward.

I don't think you're a coward.

But...

I don't understand why you won't fight.

There's something I want to show you.

I'm not going to do anything.

Here.

Ernest Wilson.

That's my father.

One of the glorious dead.

And I got my call up papers.

My mum brought me a stack of letters.

He sent from the front all written in the two months before he died.

Everyone spoke of his regret having to kill a German soldier with his bayonet.

Away he got asleep. He couldn't get the man's face out of his head.

The begging and screaming haunted him constantly.

He was still writing about him in his last letter before he was killed.

How did he die?

Officially.

Fighting in action.

Unofficially.

Unofficially. According to a palimaded back.

He walked directly into enemy fire without rifle or helmet.

That's terrible.

I don't want to kill anyone Claire.

It destroyed me father.

I agreed to sign up for the auxiliary fire service.

You do need you to be that way.

If that's not enough to convince some people so be it.

I am glad I told you.

So am I. Spenser.

Good night Claire.

How do we come now?

I am glad to be here.

I thought you were still upstairs.

I was catching up with so much needed sleep.

But then I woke up with a desire to catch up.

I once so much needed time with my wife before I go back.

I hate that you are going back so soon.

So why?

We should use our remaining time together wisely.

I agree.

I was glad you were interested in exploring how much life that remains in an aging party.

After him. It's not even nine o'clock yet.

The RAF have gone.

The guard clearly has his hands full elsewhere.

Why not strike while the iron is hot?

What? Here?

Lobster's. We're not French.

Hello Miss.

Hello Timothy. Do you hear?

Is that church?

I'm a French.

I'm a French.

A French.

A French.

You're right.

Did you see what happened?

Right. See you shortly.

Get your coat.

I'm taking you to lunch.

I still have time to get through.

It can wait.

But I have to get it in.

It can wait.

I thought we'd go to that hotel I mentioned.

Don't tell.

I thought we'd go over to dinner next week.

I can't wait that long.

I've also booked a room for the afternoon.

Come on.

We need to be seated by 130.

Lovely.

Nice music.

Oh.

Well, I want you to, um, pop by and peg Will for all of his health with Bob.

I don't know what I've done without him.

How is he now?

He's kind of back to his old self.

I can't tell you how stupid I feel.

Pad, I want you to know that when I gave you the remedy, it was with the very best of

intentions.

Oh, of course.

What?

It's me you're giving too much.

I suppose I wanted to try to protect you.

Protect me?

What do you mean?

The remedy was for Bob's health, aren't I?

Yes.

It wasn't quite what I said it was.

It was something that would take the edge of his moods and give you his moods.

Yes.

What do you mean take the edge of his moods?

I know why he didn't complicate his wedding.

I told you why I hurt myself and it took longer to recover than expected.

What was in the remedy?

Erika.

A mild solution of lithium salts.

Lithium.

Oh, my God.

I can have killed him.

I didn't know what else to do.

I couldn't talk to you.

Because I was nothing to talk about.

Oh, come on, Pat.

I understand why you'd want to defend him, but let's not pretend Bob doesn't hit you.

Bob hits me.

Is that what you think?

Well, not just me.

Who else?

Who else?

I know.

How did you come by these bros?

I found it.

Pat.

What have you been telling people?

I haven't told anyone anything.

But people aren't blind and they're not dead.

Or whatever you think.

You've seen and heard.

You're wrong.

All of you.

All in order, Mrs. Faroe.

Thank you.

No mistakes.

No?

We keep the farm.

You keep going like this.

And you most certainly will.

It's good to have you on board.

I know it won't be easy to begin with, but it's knees must for the foreseeable future.

If we can't feed our fighting men like your husband, then we won't win this war.

It's as simple as that.

Well, good day to you both.

And good luck.

Thank you.

And sorry for last time.

When you've had a ball set on you, a haystack toppled on top of you.

An irate woman threatened to box my ears is nothing.

You'll be fine.

Proud of you all.

And that will be too.

Drink that.

Lots of sugar.

Thank you.

On a terrible shock.

It was the same with George.

And you were exactly what you were going through.

I'm just so very sorry.

I know how hard this news has hit you.

I need you to be honest with me.

Because I've taken you into my home in all good faith.

Please tell me honestly.

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

What was conning to you?

We taught at the same school.

We became good friends.

Is that all?

We were little bit.

I see.

I'm sorry for your lost visa.

Genuinely.

You've put me in an invidious position.

I have a reputation in the village and in the local business community.

You've really no idea.

I seem to have your hands rather full, Mrs. Barden.

Dropping off items for the WIs, friendly soldier scheme.

I understand that the communal shelter is ready for use.

The Institute is hosting an open house this evening for the village to see for itself.

It would mean a great deal if you would come.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, sir.

I understand that the communal shelter is ready for use.

It would mean a great deal if you would come.

Thank you.

But in the event of aerial bombardment, we've made our own arrangements.

You're held in high esteem by many.

Your stamp of approval might encourage many to use the shelter you otherwise might not.

I'm sure that's not true.

You know it is, Joyce.

Good day, Mrs. Barden.

Good day, Mrs. Cameron.

Come in, Mrs. Barden.

I'll just see what she is.

Thank you, bring.

Hello, Frances.

Oh, I've just bought browns some more gloves and things.

I'll see the good probably assigned.

Is there anything else?

There is.

I'm afraid.

I've just been...

I've just been...

I've been...

I've been...

I've been...

I've been...

I've just been reading some of the letters you've been writing to friendless troops.

There isn't one in which you haven't told the recipient to keep out of danger and get home safely to his mother.

We're writing to soldiers, men.

Men whose job, whether we like it or not, is to face and embrace danger, not hide from it.

You're not a mother, Frances.

So you wouldn't understand.

It's simply because Peter and I have been unable to have children.

It doesn't mean I can't understand and empathize with how you or any other mother might feel at this time.

How can you?

I've known David all his life.

I know what he means to you both.

I saw it the day you first showed him to us all.

I'll never forget the look on your face.

Oh, Brynze.

I've never seen two new parents who he'd ate so much love for their child.

So please, do not presume to tell me I can't understand how you must feel to have him out there.

But these letters go out under the banner of the W.I.

And they cannot and will not give my approval for what you have learned.

I've written what any mother would write to her son.

I dare say that's true.

The problem is you're not their mother.

What's with this in Aiden?

A wife can take care of her husband.

How's she?

If you'd have been doing that properly, I wouldn't have suffered the collapse I did.

Instead, you've been neglecting me while you've fritter away your time at the W.I. and that telephone exchange.

I've never once neglected you, Bob.

Perhaps you should see things from my perspective.

I look at everything from your perspective.

So much that I've lost my own.

Not interested in having a debate about this?

No, there are, because then you'd have to acknowledge that there's two human beings in this house, not just you and your first mother.

Hey, what are you got's name as going to you?

I do so much for you.

More than you'll ever know, and what do I get in return?

I'll show you what you get.

I hate you, Mia Ken.

Kick him in. Throw in something at me. Pull in my hair so hard it comes out with the roots.

You know what you really hate?

That you need me? More than I need you?

That's not true.

I loathe this life you've forced on me. I hate what you've done me into.

Come back here. Come back here, I said. I said get back here.

Get back here now.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Where are you, Trepe?

I've not gone in no trust.

Are you going somewhere?

I can't stand this.

Anyhow, are you?

Where will you go?

Hmm?

With no money.

No experience.

No family.

No tons.

You wouldn't survive five minutes.

You don't mean you cease to exist in any meaningful way.

Oh, my God!

Oh, sure.

Look at you.

Oh, my God!

Right every day.

Even if nothing's happened, we'd nothing to say.

Just tell me that.

Isn't that the Campbell girl?

Yes.

Apparently she visits his grave every morning.

Yes, I've heard.

I'll just be a moment.

Very well.

This cottage was going to be yours and your husband's wasn't it?

I'm not equating the two in any way, but...

When my son went to Canada 15 years ago,

I thought I'd never get over it.

Not a day goes by when I don't think of him.

But life has a way of seeping in.

New events, new experiences, new people,

new things to consider.

You'll never forget your husband, Kate.

But life will seek you out and seep through once more.

And when it does, let it.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I think it's for the best.

Well, Theresa.

I never intended to deceive you.

When I moved in, I didn't tell you everything.

For the simple reason that I had no intention of it ever becoming known.

You've shown me such great kindness.

You've shown me such great kindness, Alison.

In so many ways, the last thing I would want to do is put you in a compromising position.

How is your mind at this morning of something George once told me?

He said, it can never be his sin to love another human being.

Your husband sounds like someone I would like to have met.

Well, that would have been impossible, I'm afraid.

Why?

Well, George was certainly my better half.

Maybe he was never my husband.

George and I fell in love while he was married to someone else.

She refused to grant him a divorce, so we took the only course open to us and presented ourselves as Mr. and Mrs. Scott Lock.

I still do.

They don't know.

We all have secrets.

Then, and now.

If we're come a friend, you know, I don't know how many of those over the years.

I enjoy your companionship.

As does Boris.

I'd like you to stay.

If you can keep your secret as well as I kept mine, then we need never speak of this again.

How long have you been like this?

Belly sleeps since David left.

And when I do, I have terrible nightmares.

I can give you something to help you sleep, that you're clearly suffering from exhaustion.

If you don't mind, I'd like to run some tests.

Tests?

Purely routine.

I'm not sure.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's so lovely to welcome so many of you here this evening to the opening of what the Great Paxford Women's Institute hopes will become a vital, communal asset in the days ahead.

The shelter you're about to enter has been fashioned in the reinforced cellar of our house, but exists for everyone.

I'm somewhat surprised to see you here, Mrs. Cameron.

Due to the extent of my influence within the village, your sister has invited me to come to the shelter to give it my seal of approval.

So, without further ado...

Is this a drill?

It wasn't on the notice board.

Well, then it's for real.

Um, ladies and gentlemen, stay calm and make your way to the shelter in an orderly fashion.

There's room enough for all.

Follow me.

Isabelle.

Where is she?

I'm all right.

Miss Ryan, Mrs. Cameron.

Please, please, please.

Hi.

I-I don't think I can go down there.

You have to.

No, you don't understand.

That siren means you don't have a choice.

No.

There are too many people.

If anything happened, I'd never get out.

Hold my hand.

I promise I will lead you safely.

Take it.

Follow me.

I've got to come down, please.

Nice and all of you ladies and gentlemen.

Everyone finds her way to city.

Please, please.

Everyone finds her way to city.

Please, please.

Please, please.

Sure.

There we go there.

changes the way you' unchallbossed.

Let me stick to the plaza.

Oh Lord.

Catch you, tshelza, immediately.

Vit Ale.

bars are in flare.

Quint

some.

Come to the shelter.

You will be seest.

Be all right here. You go back.

No!

I want to be with you.

The WAAC mind gave us this approval.

That's wonderful.

Thanks to you.

Yeah, you did all the hard work.

I had a brilliant teacher.

I enjoyed every minute of it.

So glad you came to our village.

I won't say anything.

That what?

You and your boss.

There's nothing to say.

That's not true, is it?

Stan.

I know what I saw.

Stan.

I asked at the base.

He's married. Did you know?

Boy, you should keep their notice out the affairs of grown-ups.

You're not that much older than me.

Perhaps not in years, but in terms of experience, you're just a child.

Pat thinks I told everyone about her and Barb.

She's likely to go to the place.

You have never seen us so angry.

So do you think she actually might?

Bob's behaviour towards her would inevitably be made public.

And that's clearly the last thing she wants.

Everything we've worked for could have been swept away in an instant.

You alright, Dad?

The iron hares a little stale, that's all.

I suspect shooting a rabbit is not the same as shooting a Nazi.

Was that what you mean?

It's a letter from the war office. I've been invited to London.

I'm assuming you must be Laura Campbell's mother.

I think you better come inside. Going away on a trip.

Oh, listen.

Oh, listen.

Oh, listen.

Oh, listen.

Oh, listen.

Oh, listen.

I can see them talking by my own.

And take a...
