["Pomp and Circumstance"]

Hi, Jack.

Okay.

Hi.

Let's play, how old is it?

Aye.

We know you've brought the care.

You've got some years been down the ironwares.

I've seen you down the dorms, same club, haven't I?

I've worked there for an act so week.

Is that all you're living there?

Aye.

Just curious.

Giving up drinking, Azee.

Now we drink in the conchlum mostly.

What must be the beer?

It is.

Well, best be off.

We'd be out soon.

Ah.

Hello.

Oh, bloody hell.

You all right?

Yeah, meals come off.

Bloody death things to be walking around here, but they're all I've got.

You, uh, you'd better come up to the house.

Mm-hmm.

Grandad will fix that.

It'll make his day.

Heh.

Oh, aye.

Hey.

O Martin's right here.

Working late.

Again.

Oh, is this right here?

I'm working late.

Again? What will I tell your mother?

I asked her to put it in the oven.

I'm only above an hour. We're only finishing the job.

See you later.

Hey!

I don't like all this overtime.

You think I do?

Buy me way out of the place.

Got what you wanted from me, have you?

What would that be?

Well, you once said that it'd give you so much right about it.

I never seen you doing anything, I think.

All right. When you're in bed.

Two years since you came back from London here.

It's time you settle down to something.

I told you mother to keep it up.

They were a pity about your fire.

It's round that boat, the old house down.

Oh, didn't they like it?

Sorry. It can't have been for me.

We'd live there, say, so we're married.

It's not so much the house.

It's everything you've got together in a lifetime.

Gone in a puff of smoke.

We've been in earlier year now,

and I still keep searching for something that's gone.

You're related to the warring, isn't it?

Only by marriage.

Our peg marriage, old Mark.

We don't see much of the others.

There you go.

It's all right.

You've made his day.

You like to be on yours, full?

I'll be off.

Jack will be back from work.

Thanks for the tea.

Oh, and the mending.

I'll give you a lift. No bother.

Oh, well, I'm not saying no.

Ta-da!

It's time to get back from work.

You were a prisoner in the war. I've got much to bet.

Jones.

No. Japs, not Jones.

Air!

Hello.

How long have you been here?

Oh, an hour or so.

I went straight to Mummy's.

It was like an ice box.

So I lit the fire and came on here.

Why don't you stay overnight?

Oh, I called a pegs mother's and left a message for Blake.

Said I'd bid home tonight.

What did you find her doing in Glasgow all this time?

Just visiting friends.

Anyone I know?

No.

There was, er, there was some chap that you knew when you were up there during the war, wasn't it?

Hey!

Who's outside?

What's to eat?

Jugged hair and don't dodge the issue.

It's part of the prize I pay for working on Dad's damned estates.

Jugged hair twice weekly.

Don't exaggerate.

I, er, I thought he was married.

Catholic, this, this man he knew in Glasgow.

He was.

His wife died this year.

Oh.

I thought you unblaken pretty first.

I'd rather not talk about it.

I'm sorry.

Just taking a brother to Tristan.

I don't like to seem drifting through life crucifying yourself.

I'm not.

And Peg got me off the hook.

I'm glad.

I go through the motions of course for her sake, but at heart I'm, I'm no more a Catholic than you, aren't I?

I'll decide what I am, thanks very much.

I, I just want you to be happy.

That's all, Ross.

Like you are, you mean?

Well, I'm happy.

Apart from the job.

And just a bit complacent.

Maybe.

All right, I'll drop it.

It's a gloomy subject of the best of times.

Christmas is coming.

Country's picking up.

You can even buy a pair of pants without coupons now.

I go and put on my jester suit and cheer you up.

Why are you taking those?

Outside, of course.

He's got the Christmas spirit anyway.

Oh, him.

It's that book we got.

It's changed his life.

He's been looking at the calendar.

Well, I've put some crosses on the day.

It's, when he gets near the time, his little eyes start to twinkle.

What the?

I always forget you're not married.

Well, you know, it saved time.

Oh, that.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It saved time.

Oh, that.

What's being married got to do with it?

You're forgetting sin, aren't you?

I want children.

A child.

But he's so afraid.

I'm not surprised to be quite a risk for you.

Well, all life's a risk, isn't it?

It's so.

Oh, your son like Mark.

He blames God for everything.

Plus, I know he still believes.

He can't blame someone you don't believe exists.

You're all the same, you converts.

You trust God more than we do.

Where's Dad?

I've taken it to his room.

He seems to want to come out less than less these days.

I can't say I blame him.

It's falling apart, this family.

With Blake and Keir, neither of them in a decent job,

and both of them past the...

Dad.

Another one late.

I've put it in the oven.

Let him get it himself.

He's got two hands.

Let me.

Let him do it himself.

Let me.

Let him do it himself.

What is about you and Keir?

Yeah, I know.

What exactly does he want from us, Mum?

He never tells us that.

He wants you to go your own way, that's why.

But isn't that what we're trying to do?

He wants a better life for you than he's had.

War changed things, Mum.

Some things will never be the same again.

You don't have to tell me that.

After owing.

Roswarrington called.

Ros.

Said you'd be in tonight if you wanted to see her.

Right.

Are you going to marry her?

That's what you want for me, isn't it, eh?

Marriage.

You know what he'd do, too.

I never liked the idea of that German woman.

You never knew her, Mum.

She's got my grandson.

Your flesh and blood for all he was born out of wedlock.

Under German.

Under bastard.

I don't like that word.

No more will he when he grows up and has it thrown at him.

He's not of an age to be troubled by it yet.

When he is, I want to be there.

How can you be? He's in the Russian half.

I had five sons. Three and a half now.

He's as lost to you as mine are to me.

And while it lives he isn't.

That's why I have to go.

I have to go.

I have to go.

I have to go.

I have to go.

I have to go.

I have to go.

I have to go.

I have to go.

How did you come here?

It's possible now the airlift's ended.

It's hard.

It's still hard.

I'm not as hard as going from here to the west.

You know this to see me.

No, it's a pleasure.

I allowed myself.

This is personal. The others are official.

You're in the army still.

I'd rather not discuss that if you don't mind.

I understand.

Do you?

That something should not be spoken about.

I understand.

Such games we play also.

Officially I have brought a sick man from the west

to die with his relatives over here.

Another game also.

To be seen to have humanity.

Even the dying we use.

Why have you come here?

I was glad to.

Astaljek?

Is he a Scot?

Who?

A bloke you went to see.

What's Mark been saying?

Not this.

Who then?

You.

With your eyes.

They don't say it.

They shout it.

What?

I've sinned.

They shout.

That's my fault if you have.

If you believe you have.

Because I won't give you an ultimatum to make an honest woman of me.

Not honest.

Free.

Marriage frees you, does it?

I don't mean marriage to me.

I mean to your bloke in Glasgow.

See?

Give me your blessing, would you?

What else can I give you?

I can't say I believe when I don't.

Not even for you.

So?

I was the blunder.

You've never stayed all night.

I can't sleep when you've gone.

He's there, is he?

In the duck?

I'll never understand it, you know.

But somebody who I've got.

Blake met her.

He lost her through no fault of his own.

She had his child do expecting to forget it.

Expect him to forget it.

Sometimes on a train in the war, a man and a woman would meet.

Would speak intimately of their lives as we did in the war.

Then after many hours, days even on those endless journeys,

the train would stop at the place where one or the other traveled still.

Good-bye, they would say, sadly, like parting lovers.

And the train would go on.

Then to the one who is left, someone else would come and speak of their lives,

taking the place of the other.

I took the place of your friend when I married her to.

She is with me now.

On our journey, we share our life what it is.

We do not make that journey again, I think, back to where we begin.

Yes, I doubt if he'd want to either.

Except that he fears for the boy.

Of course.

For the world in which he will have to live.

Does he think we do not have such fears also?

Every day, good socialists disappear, taken for sacrifice on this socialist altar

that Ulbrich would have us worth a bit.

Do you think we do not have such fears?

What does he want of us, your friend?

I bet we could travel up together.

I was a splendid farewell dinner they gave you last night.

They were thanking me for giving them you in my place.

Poppy cop.

Thanks.

Cenjon lately.

Not since before the election.

I heard the Tories asked him to be their parliamentary candidate

before we broke the news that you were standing for labor.

What?

You did not know.

No.

Perhaps I ought not have told you.

No, no, it does not matter.

I think who rots his back from law is good.

Now he is like an addict when we are bathing away.

You need a family in this job.

You have come for ten years without one.

I have been down lonely years, twos and Sheila died.

retirement is going to be worse.

You need not think you are going to retire completely.

I am going to lean in you a lot, you know.

Is that a promise, is it?

And to follow, here is something to set your feet tapping.

Twenty more shopping days to Christmas.

What?

Oh yes! Christmas.

I was just checking to see what parties we have lined up.

Looks as if we are going to have a gay old time from that.

Cheers.

I have been a bit of an over misery lately, haven't I?

No.

The only misery I would have said.

Sorry.

You always accept things don't you?

Too high?

Oh!

Care?

Well, I have changed that much ever.

Changed?

Well did you want to pretend you didn't know me?

Don't be daft.

Is Jack still washing up?

We were the last off the day shift.

The last?

He is not here.

No, what did he say?

I want myself out.

Come on, I will give you a hand and make a window open.

Thanks.

You have not been nearest for weeks.

What is it, Bio, or I bought him?

You don't wrap anything up, do you?

I save you my old papers.

For what?

Chip should carry on your shoulder.

They are not lacking for salt and vinegar, are they?

I am sorry.

I don't have that many friends.

If you are his friend.

I am his friend, I see him every day at work.

Still work at the club?

I always go to the con club.

For the beer.

You got an answer for everything, don't you?

No lights on, he is obviously not back yet.

Is there anywhere else he might be?

I am coming with this, will you?

I am not.

Look, I said I was sorry.

You do it on purpose, don't you?

You know better than that.

What is it, I am to be made to suffer for, do you think?

Going for a walk after work?

I am sitting here when I get back.

You are not fit to go walking about in this weather, I don't blame her.

No, I feel the worry is there as much.

Maybe you are sitting near it dark.

Do you think I am brooding?

I am swimming there, yeah.

They don't like to go away from them in your mind.

She worries about you.

No, I have a life-stuck that we are worrying about me.

But I don't know.

Some nights I come out at Gates and get it with her for the sea and I am drawn to it.

You know, I am back there on deck with lads.

Are there many navy lads taken by the Japs?

Most are with them when singer-poor fell.

You are a regular, weren't you, like Owen?

I signed on for a stretch before it was than wished I hadn't.

Still, there won't much work here.

We were married, you know, I am, last leave before I was posted east.

She was a wild one.

I mean, it's in her still, but she always was selling check because of me.

My mother will kill me when I get in.

She'll have me tea waiting for me.

I don't have any.

Why didn't you say so?

I tried to, but he wouldn't let me say it, would he?

It sounds like your mother's as much to put up with as I have.

I'm all right.

I've walked to bed with you.

Yeah, it's not been to see us for ages.

Oh, well, I have to get back now anyway.

I'll come again though, if I must, I will.

I'll get you cool.

Oh, well, I'd always hear.

She's a work-on-it club tonight.

Hey, hey, can I walk you there?

No, it's early, I'm not ready yet.

Sure, see you at work now.

Hi.

What do you think?

Let it be, Jack.

Let it be.

Another like the last one, is that what you want?

Next stop.

Who's meeting you?

Jack Bassett!

Looks after me like a mother.

Great family solidarity and the working talk.

Oh, yes.

All right.

So what have I missed by being born middle child?

Poverty.

You know what I mean, married.

I hope this mess I've made at that part of my life.

Not just for myself, for John, Rose, Mark.

The Hayward's came out of the war much more of a family than we did.

Well, the family's always been more secure in the working class

than with people of your background, Beth.

Hey, can I afford the polite separation that your John have achieved?

Don't working class women want emancipation, what?

I am larger, don't think they do.

Spinning the time comes that they can afford it and we find they do.

If it damages the family society, it'll be the poor.

Poverty from Will.

If you were a working class woman, you'd still have a marriage.

Ah! So that's where the true morality lies, is it?

The reality comes down to what you can afford in the end.

Your friend asks too much.

He didn't say I should ask you.

I'm asking you myself.

You ask too much.

I thought there was still a chance.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I thought there was still a chance.

I'm sorry.

I'm asking you before it's too late to ask.

Before the barriers come down for good.

In a month, six months a year, it could be practically impossible to go from here to the west.

I have to ask now, before it's too late.

To what you ask, I must say no.

I will go faster, please.

One doesn't know.

Do you understand?

Here.

Tell your friend I'm sorry.

Yes.

Well, I don't suppose I'll see you again.

No.

Thank you for all.

Thank you.

I know you.

I'm sorry.

I know you.

I know you.

I know you.

I know you.

Hey, come on up there and see me sometime.

I told you there was one of Daddy's old dressing gowns up there.

I thought this was it.

What else are you doing in America, by the way?

Drop.

I don't know.

I think his last fling before nationalisation, probably.

It doesn't be much fun from here, have you, late?

I've faced in his Tory belt with his wife, the Labour MP.

What are you really mind?

I was thinking that you chose it in preference to mending their marriage.

What's commendable, was it?

I always thought it was.

I hope so, anyway.

Catholic.

No other options.

I bit like your Scottish friend.

You mean by married ex-lover in Glasgow?

Jealous?

Prepare to leave the fold, is he?

No, his wife died.

We'll see.

So he's free.

In that sense he is.

No problems then, is it?

You really think I'd have spent the last hour with you up there.

What's the obstacle, Russ?

You are!

Why did you go?

I don't know.

To cancel an option.

Close a door, if you like.

On what?

The war, I think.

Like a dream already, isn't it?

Looking back.

The way we lived.

It happened and it's gone.

It's over.

Couldn't push it back, could you?

It's Mommy.

He was coming to your father-in-law's.

I came in the van with him, so it seemed a bit duff not to come in.

We'd have had something to say if you hadn't.

Hello, Jean.

Mark?

Mark, go on us Jean's friend to come up.

I'd sooner you didn't.

Are you sure?

He's loading some things from your father's anyway.

Oh?

Furniture, I think.

He does contract work for this firm in Silport.

He'll sand the horn for me when he's ready.

Mark was just going to put the kettle on.

Was I?

Oh, yes, yes.

Yes, I was.

Come and sit down.

How are you then?

Oh, well, we're fine.

There's plenty of crosses on the calendar.

What?

Oh, nothing.

Private joke.

That was Cole.

Quiet.

Bring him to see us sometime.

I don't think he'd want to come here.

I understand.

I walk past it on purpose sometimes.

Greenhouse out there.

I'm glad you don't run away from it.

Your mother does.

I tried to get into his head.

Why did it?

It was me, wasn't it?

No.

Why not?

I'm not saying I'm wicked.

I'm just ordinary.

I'm a bad luck case, really.

It just rubbed off on him.

He never came back from the war.

So I think of it.

Cole thinks he caused it.

Cole, misbehaving.

He said so.

I just know from what went on that day.

I'm watching him sometimes.

Kettle's on.

How are you?

Are you sure you don't want me to ask your friend?

Oh, I'd soon need it.

I'm not saying anything against him.

I met him at the club.

He's just not your cup of tea, really.

He's alright for me.

Take no notice of your daddy.

He seems a bit peculiar.

Oh, grown-ons, has he?

Got out of bed the wrong side.

I'm surprised he managed it in this house.

It's against the wall.

He misses the old one.

He's a good guy.

He's a good guy.

He's a good guy.

He's a good guy.

He's the wall.

He misses the old house.

Ah, don't be all.

You?

I don't think you cared for it.

You did nothing but complain about it when we lived there.

I didn't.

You did so.

Alright, I did.

Or I didn't.

Anywhere you're always complaining about me but you think the sun shines out to me really, don't you?

Don't go on over.

Are you back?

At last.

Ah, sorry I'm late.

It's too much overtime being worked.

You're right.

But your mother cooks to her time. She expects you back for it.

Yeah, well as a matter of fact.

It's in the oven.

Get it out.

I'm certain.

Here.

Yeah.

I will.

You're marrying him.

I'm pregnant.

That hurts you, doesn't it?

Thinking about Owen.

It can't hurt him.

He's out of it.

You think the dead don't care?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I've never been religious, not like you.

I haven't got time for God.

I can understand you believing what you do.

How are you these days?

About the same.

You still want kids?

Of course.

You must be mad. It could kill you.

Thought you didn't care much for life.

Well, we cling to it, don't we?

Like your leeches.

Well, you've got everything. Don't put your life at risk.

You sound like Mark.

Well, he's afraid for you.

If you're lucky, my blood wouldn't give a damn.

You just get somebody else.

There he goes.

Sorry I've taken so long.

Never depend on him for your dinner.

I'll have to go.

Oh, I must you.

We're going to the club.

I'll see you again.

I'll bring Cole to see you.

You'll come.

Yes, I'll skin.

You're going to be alright.

Remember that day on the beach when you came to tell Ernst about the party?

When I told you not to run.

After you'd gone, he said hope is everything.

Hope is everything he said when you had nothing.

Look after yourself, Jean.

And you.

What's father doing, getting rid of the furniture?

Oh, if you can't change your life, change your furniture.

Stravagans.

Why not?

Money's all he's got.

Certainly hasn't got you, has he?

And you've no intention of giving him grandchildren to be a comfort in his old age. Have you?

What's brought all this on?

Jean's pregnant.

Oh.

That's rough.

It's rough.

Blake with a van.

I'd better check with Mason and everything's about board.

With the furniture.

She wouldn't go with anyone like that.

I'd better just check.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

I'd better check with her.

chalkboard

It's interesting, perhaps, but rather more suitable.

Where's Ross?

In the kitchen, getting me something to eat, I hope.

Is that the voice you'll use in the house when you're laying into the tournies?

You can't fool me if we're flown in a decoded together.

You don't like me anymore, do you?

It's not a question of lighting.

We've probably been married now, but for reasons you know well enough.

Don't expect us to be more than you.

I never expect. Sometimes I hope.

Though I'd be arguing from a very weak base, I suppose, unfaithful wife separated from her husband.

I can hear Father Ross saying I told you, sir.

I'm not interested in your religion.

Oh, I know that.

Interest is the wrong word.

I'm interested all right. I have to be. I'm caught up in it, aren't I?

I fly in the web.

It's worse for her.

But you wouldn't understand that.

That's a very arrogant statement, Beth.

Is it? I didn't mean it to be.

It's just one of the few things I really do know about that, so.

You survived it.

Did I?

Tell her to let go. She listened to you.

It's not something you can do for someone.

Even your own flesh and blood.

Come to hate God.

Yes, yes, I can see that.

She's taught me to.

No, it must seem like that.

You have bleed on other people.

I know exactly what you mean.

I was in Germany last week.

I didn't have time to get there before the by-election.

I want to say goodbye to all those people we work.

Don't suck.

I'm not.

Oh, yes, you are.

I saw your friend Waters.

He's working with refugees who want to get to the Eastern zone because their families are there.

Yeah, that's Waters, all right.

Good works.

And the run from his public school background.

Great big chip on his shoulder.

Bit like Mark. Is that what you're seeing?

Yeah, I suppose it is.

What do Waters have to say?

Are you expecting some sort of a message, Blake?

I have a son, Beth.

I've never seen him, but he's there.

And the woman.

Well, he got caught up in a water, yeah.

Two people among.

I'll come and see you tomorrow before I go.

I'll come and see you tomorrow before I go.

It's enough!

Get your mind.

Get out of here.

Get him out.

You all right?

She's all right, honey, look at that.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

What can you do?

Some things life throws out you, you can do nothing about.

Put that in your political pipe and smoke it.

I did. A long time ago.

Watching a friend of mine being hosed out of a rear turret.

Don't dream of like an infant.

Have you been to a meeting?

No.

There's morning tons meeting some of the constituents here tomorrow,

and I couldn't remember whether I booked the room or not.

Aren't you?

Yeah, just as well to make sure, though.

Memories and what it was, look.

I'm sorry I too come bridge today.

Oh, did you?

I know I did.

Age creeping up on me, I suppose.

That and what you grandad had called playing bloodierquitness.

I'll tell you something, then.

Jack Blair's made me have me tea with him.

The real you made me eat didn't have to take some getting down.

So, you're right.

Can I get your pint to eat?

No. No, I'll be off home.

I only came to see about the room.

Hey, listen.

Don't worry about you.

It's worse when I can see you worrying.

I know what I'm after.

Do you?

Yes.

You don't have to worry about Blake either.

I know we're different as chalk and cheese, but we both know what we want.

That's a lot more than you can say for most.

Yes.

Don't be late, your mother worries.

Got no girls care after you're here then?

She worries about that too, does she?

Yeah, well, you know what mothers are.

I'm just a civilian now.

They were like flies round a jampot when had a uniform.

I'll not be late.

I'll be fine.

Excuse me.

Are you waiting for me?

I promise Jack would see you home whenever I could.

Not villains that work for you, you know.

I let them go before a term so I'll not get bothered.

Do you not get bothered then?

Well, some time to do.

Mostly they sort of get another pint in the bother about me.

Oh, I'm ready when you are.

Mm.

I'll get them cut.

I'll get them cut.

Jean?

Yeah?

Are you all right over there?

I can cope with him.

How long have you known Master Furtis?

Her husband's a mate of work.

Why?

Just look out for yourself.

It's all right.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'll let you back.

I'm fine.

You loved him, aren't you?

I'm fine.

Back in early state, ten minutes.

I've got to be back to London in the morning,

but I didn't want to come out without seeing you.

You enjoying it down there?

Mm, very much.

It's better than working for a living husband.

I'll speak to him when you've gone.

Coffee.

Please.

You two still reasonably happy together?

Of course.

Don't take that for granted, Mark.

Someone came with some furniture from Father's house today.

Hello.

His own instructions apparently.

What's he up to, Jean though?

No, I should. I know.

You know how things are between it.

It's hardly been he hasn't the buy-out action.

I can't help laughing thinking of Father on that European trade committee.

Vagging for dollars off the Americans.

No, you enjoy the thought.

But it's certainly a new experience for him.

Would you do it?

No, I don't.

I wouldn't.

You think he does it for himself?

I suppose you think he does it for him.

Yes, I think he probably does.

After all, if we're going to nationalise,

then we can hardly be doing it for himself.

You're only defending him because you feel guilty

for it all breaking up.

Beast, the iron mines aren't on the big.

They're doing very nicely, thank you.

Yes, well, see, they should be the way the price of war's gone out.

How do you know they're doing very nicely?

I, er, I saw Richard today.

No.

He came to the estate office.

I think it's a damn shame we hardly have any contact with that side of the family.

Well, they came to your wedding.

A bit ostentatiously.

There's a duty I felt.

Well, that's what I felt anyway.

Well, you can hardly blame your father for that.

You see, the decent sort of a jab to me, Richard.

We're second or third cousins or something.

What did he want?

We just wanted to be friendly so far as I could see.

He was, he was rather sympathetic, as a matter of fact.

If any of you got to see Robertson me together to know that we don't get on.

Why are you so unsettled?

Oh, it's just a damn job, that's all.

Is that all?

You want me to give you the fashionable reason and blame it on the war?

Well, I didn't enjoy the war.

Unlike some people, I was glad when it ended.

You have more of the fruits of victory than most people have and you're free.

Free!

That's just what I'm not mother.

I owe him my job.

This place I live in is his.

You're the one who's free.

And politics has died for you, hasn't it?

It's free, Joe.

It's given you a purpose in life.

You are free, onion. You do have a purpose in life.

Well, not the way the young think of freedom and a purpose.

Well, compared to before the war, my life's entirely different, of course.

And I didn't let the Paris haunt me.

Do you?

No.

Exercise all your goals?

What did Walter say?

What I was going to tell you yesterday was that when I met him in Germany,

there seemed to be a chance of their coming out.

But he telephoned last night. He said to give up food.

He's been taking refugees to the east. He met her husband.

He said they've made a life together.

They've accepted that things are as they are.

And the barriers are up, Blake.

They may stay for our lifetime.

Yeah, I know that.

I've known it since we pulled back around the Delta line.

Seeing the faces watching us go.

To give up hope on.

He's four years old, Beth.

As old as the peace.

What is?

There.

What? Peace!

Thanks for watching.

Thank you.

George?

I thought you were in America.

Canada this time.

Oh, Canada, yes.

It's all the time we got together again, isn't it?

Perhaps we could arrange a little rough shooting.

You shoot?

Well, I used to go out with Owen sometimes.

I can load it, hit, pull the trigger, and that's about all.

Well, why don't you come up tomorrow?

Blake could give you a lift, wouldn't he?

I can ask him.

You'll come then.

Yeah, you're all right. I'll come.

Good.

Good.

I'm a head old, eh, coming up you like.

Look forward to it.

Grandad, head it!

Come away from that edge!

She's in, she's in, look!

It's a damn bossing!

Don't you two ever work?

Ask him!

He's the boss.

Tea?

Ever asked.

I'll go.

There's a minute.

Don't you like getting to the boss with the rest of us?

I have somebody to see. I'll catch the next.

All right.

Nice.

Well then Doctor. Can I go back to work? Ask me again in a week or so. Can you come

down to the surgery? I'll come down to the surgery. Come down to morning surgery tomorrow

week. I'll see you then. Good evening Mrs. Blaze. Evening Doctor.

Well I'm done for work. It's not going to let me go by. I said nothing of the killing.

Good enough to annoy. annoy too so I not face it. I'll face it when I have to.

Okay I will go past. But we'll come in for a minute. Well maybe so Doctor's got no one

to say. I'll have to say something to bother. Maybe. Take that in. You should let me ask

Daddy. Ask him what? For help with this garage we looked at today. I can cope. Be a bit

tank for the first year that's all. Doesn't mean we have to wait another year. Will you

fell the scotter for me please Blake? I'm sure you will too. You'll find the coal in

the second seller on the left. Here's your ladyship. Find yourself with a thick ear too

if you don't watch it. Stan usually fills the boiler for me but he's away today. Stan?

Your father's man Stan Mason. Oh Mason? Is that his name? He didn't know. It was part

of my upbringing not to know. Part of the business of keeping the natives in their place.

Blake's always pulling me up about things like that. We've been to look at a garage that's

to rent. There's a flat with it too. Oh. Oh she said. Not curious. Oh look. I know Blake

won't even go near a church. Let alone become a Catholic. So if you're getting married it

means you're giving up the faith. Have you told him? No. He seems to assume it. He's no

right to assume it. He doesn't know what it means. I think he does. In a way. I've fallen

from grace so often. It's only that final step. Isn't that the hardest of all? Have you

talked to father Ross? No. Look I don't even want to talk to you about it if you don't find it. Blake's

my brother but I really could wish him for almost 30. What am I going to do if I give him

up? I don't say any more please. It's supposed to be a holy year this. Some holy year. Don't

be angry with me. It's not you I'm angry with. Mark's still at work? I don't know. He meets

his cousin sometimes for a drink on the way home. Which cousin? Richard. The one who manages

the iron mine. Who's that one? Oh he's not really a cousin. What several times removed perhaps?

Does Daddy know his friend he was Richard? Why? Took to be. Well barely on nodding terms

with that side of the family. Goes back to grandfather's time now some row over the price

of our know. He weren't supposed to speak to them when we were little when grandfather was

alive. He's rather good looking isn't he? A warrington sort of way. Grandfather was

you to say they were tradesmen not gentlemen. I hadn't seen him for years up to your wedding.

Mummy went to his wife's funeral during the war. I didn't know he was married. He had a

wife and two small children. They were killed during the Blitz while he was at sea. Terrible.

Oh Mark's very impressed with him. He's coming to dinner tomorrow as much a fact. I've got

Stan to get me a hair. Anyone at home? In here. Oh for us too how nice. This is my

palling language coming from one of the outhouses. Blake must have banged his head. Mark always does.

Who? Tea. Oh it's empty. But for you I'll fill it up.

Caused it when you visit your neighbours aren't you? Oh yes it's knowing where to draw the

line not making a nuisance of oneself. Who says you're a nuisance? Well there I am in

the damned house of my own. These people have got their own lives to lead. Anyway you glad

to be back? I think so. Thank you. Bit afraid perhaps. Afraid? What? Well the house was beginning

to get in my nerves a bit before I went off. I started looking for excuses to go down to

Mason's room for conversation. I shouldn't impose one's problems or one's servants. What

a dear old fashioned thing you are. Do you think the world can afford dear old fashioned

things like me? Hard cheese if it can't. Yes but can it? Do you know sometimes I think

it's like when I walk down the corridor to my office at the works I'm aware of people behind

me. Now they want to come past but because it's me they set their pace to mind. That's what I mean.

I hold them back just by being who I am. Which is what God made you and no complaints from me.

You're riddled with prejudice. Is your mother coming home this weekend? No. Monsters I've seen her. I was

in Canada when the election results came through in February. She did well to keep her seat. It's a

pretty safe one. Yes but there was majority whittled down to six she might well have lost it. I sent her

a telegram. She told me. She thinks you lost all your friends around here because she stood for

the labor. You and your friends I lost probably weren't with keeping. The only friend that I lost

I cared about was the one I just found as a friend. I lost her.

George will you tell him to keep away from that edge out there? Oh leave me. Will you tell him? Don't

use me to your complaints. Don't use me. What was all that about? It goes too near that edge out there.

He was nearly over it earlier on. I think you made your point clear to him. Well why bring me into it?

He doesn't listen to me. Since when has he listened to me? He takes your side on everything these days.

You don't know. You're out all day. You don't know what it's like.

Just his age. That's what it is is it?

I can't leave his tea. I'll take it to him. I'll take it.

Send the oven. Hi. You must have caught the special right after me. There's nobody in where I went.

What's grandad been up to? Just down and out. It's been a mistake. Your grandad and me wanted to live

where we'd always live near the sea. Now he can't get down to it without being helped. And your mother

eats the place. She wanted a counsellor, didn't she? She bowed to me and your grandad. You were

quite enough about it while we were arguing the toss. What did it have to do with me? It's your

home as well isn't it? Not for the rest of me life. That was my mistake. I thought of it as being for

all of us as we were before you all went off to the wall. I was living in the past trying to.

I might be off again soon. About London. What's likely? I don't know. There's not much for you around

here and you always were a bit apart. Apart. Had stuck in the old map while the others were out playing.

Oxford or Cambridge at least for you we thought. You're warper and end to that.

I made you restless. Maybe. Maybe it was there all the time I don't know.

Look your mother and me have got more than we need now that we've got the insurance money on the old

house. But she won't let me spend any on this place. Well we don't know and she doesn't care

for it anyway. All the love we gave the old place. If only we could have given it a bit of the money

and all that. It may sound like one of the family. It was. Anyway there's no reason why you shouldn't

have your share while you're still young. I've saved all I need. Give it to love it. He didn't make Oxford

or Cambridge but he's doing alright in London. I think he'll do well. He'll have to do his national

service as soon as he's got his degree. National service. We should have made peace with Russia.

You're right. You and me will fall out if we argue that. Yeah but it's something else puts us apart

in it. You want to make peace with the employers. I want to make peace with anyone who's all let me

but I'm not bow to them though like you wanted to do to Russia. Anyway this government has taught

the employers a lesson or two. Yeah Tories will get their old bounce back if they get back to power.

That's squander what we save from the rubble.

I don't like to think of you down in that place. You know no friends or nothing.

There's lots of restless people in London dad.

We'll always be here if you need us still you know that don't you?

Are you reading? About an evening it's cold.

It's cold.

Starry is it?

Yeah.

That's his name but it's about about an evening.

A bit like here.

Selfish you mean?

Yeah come on.

Well why doesn't he come and see you more if he's supposed to be a friend?

Well his own life to live.

Not many friends I've seen him with.

Sits on his own in the club.

Not that he comes watch these days.

It'd have been interesting as this afternoon if Dr Abbini.

Maybe.

What are you seeing him?

He sees life as I do.

Oh how does he?

Can't he's eye you can tell and everyone's his mouth when he is here.

Shy when you're about.

You can't stop him talking at work.

Don't ask me life as you do then.

Well you have to.

Because I am as I am.

You complain it for me.

You're perhaps I.

No I'll make me all complaints when I have them to make.

I know where he lives.

Do you want me to go and tell him to go?

It's his friendship I want not charity.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for the Hayward family.

I was told they live along here.

They're going there.

But they don't live there no more.

Do you know where they've moved to?

Of course somewhere.

Is anywhere along there I can stay the night.

Back where you came.

Bucket village.

Thanks.

Morning Raj.

Morning Daddy.

Morning Mason.

Morning Mason.

Morning,

frankinbutt to being told I continue to make.

A perfect trip toSteven.

Another trip to Die.

Let's stand on the day. I won't have tea, I'll have coffee.

Cheek.

Oh well, the rest of the week you guys have burs.

By reason of the widespread use of contraceptives,

we're heading for a national disaster of the first magnitude.

What?

How's the perpetual calendar for first hour days working out?

You bloody women, honestly.

Getting all maximum number of crosses on the calendar, are you?

There's nothing sacred. Where did I see pig?

I don't read that stuff anyway.

Religion and the birth rate.

Politics and birth control.

How to improve the beverage plan.

Whatever happened to love?

Whatever happened to love, I don't remember that.

I thought you didn't read this stuff.

What's Richard wearing to know after?

Oh, we just meet for a drink now, then.

Well, you looked him up, did you?

No. No, as a matter of fact, he called round at the estate office one day.

Not been out of the Navy for long.

No sign of the old feuding instinct?

Of course not.

Sorry, I just got back to bed when you ragged pig was sick.

Sick.

I'm something she ate, I think. She's all right now.

She's asleep.

You don't make fun of him when he comes down.

Fun? Fun's a thing of the past as far as I'm concerned.

Why should I, any road?

He's wearing his best sports jacket.

Well, what's funny about that?

Nothing.

Oh, I see he's wearing his best sports jacket, but it's not funny.

So don't make fun of where there isn't any.

I understand.

I have to humor these days.

When you get in wed then?

Soon, then I expect it may be granted.

Here I'll go back to London.

They'll just be the three of us then.

You sure you don't mind giving me a lift?

I was good up there anyway, I told you.

It's, er, it's all right, you think, for shooting in?

You look right grand in there, but the couple of rounds are shot inside you.

Oh, I'm sorry I spoke.

Looks very nice.

I wish I hadn't bothered really, but it seems a bit deaf to say no one is an indoor.

Likely as not, I'll make a fool of myself.

He looked the other way if he did. He's a gent.

Is there another? Off how tall is there any one lift?

Right, I'm ready for you up.

Can somebody take him down to the beach before you go?

Yeah, yeah, it'll be right.

It'll be complaining all day if you don't.

Who's gonna bring him back again?

Won't you be back?

No, not till late, Tom.

No, you.

Nope.

Now you've upset him.

Go on then, you two get off, I'll see you to him.

Here'll be on for his dinner soon.

He'll take him down.

You want to get yourself wed before it's too late to leave home and you're stuck here with me in that state, come on.

There Richard.

I'm presentable.

I don't usually call on people at this time of the day.

I hadn't seen you feeding the birds in your dressing garden.

I'll be back home having breakfast now.

You'll stay in heaven here, I hope.

I'm always ramenously hungry at the end of a walk.

That's...

Oh, great.

Mr. Warrington's very hungry.

Oh, great.

Mr. Warrington's very hungry.

We are an early bird.

Don't you sleep?

Seems to run in the family.

Oh.

I was hoping to see our house from here.

I was told your grandfather built it to keep an eye on our great-grandfather, Joseph.

He was a telescope.

Wouldn't help him mild, trees are grown.

I could just about see it when I was a boy.

By the way, I think Ross saw me just now.

The side of the window there.

Well, four-wall is four-armed.

She thinks the two sides of the family are still feuding.

Not so much a feud, is a silence, wasn't it?

Well, I'm glad it's been broken now.

Yes, well, I'm glad we met that time.

These things usually depend on chance, don't they?

The opportunity, I mean, you either seize it or you don't.

Well, opportunities can be created, of course.

Yes, well, with the sort of feuding that went on without a lot.

It's a stupid old quarrel.

On how they linger on, almost started with your great-grandfather.

Oh, I was told it started with yours.

Well, I forgot the tale.

A row between father and son, wasn't it?

Yes, well, they're always painful.

Mark's never disloyalty, you know. Not in my company, anyway.

Does he mention me at all? Not very often.

I still try, you know, to build some sort of bridge between us.

I used to think it started with Beth and me.

Break up the marriage. Well, perhaps it did.

He was in the army when it happened.

Must have been a bit of a shock.

But it was she, not I, who...

Well, you must have heard all the details.

Now, many came back with all this wartime ideals, as so many did.

But was kind of where they wanted and what was wrong with the old one.

I must figure quite a lot in that list of wrongs.

John really... Oh, I am not belittling their ideals.

When I'd be the last to deny, there was a great deal wrong with that pre-war world.

But he does nothing, I might get nothing.

I don't agree with his mother's politics, but to which he's done.

Completely reshaped our life.

What's Raj doing with her life these days?

Not a great deal.

I saw it, Mark's wedding, of course, and once a long time ago before the war,

she was out there on the lake sailing.

Well, that's where she'll be now sailing.

She's involved with one of Pig's brothers.

He's not a Catholic and two honest and as doubts to become one.

I doubt if she'll give him up.

I'm so sorry, Mark.

They came in the middle of the night and took what away.

away. The police will not tell me where he is. It is not safe here now, and for

email's sake we must go to the West. I feel I cannot ask Blake for help.

Perhaps he is married now and has other children. Will you see him for me and

find out how things are with him so I will know what to do? You have always

been my special English gentleman. Your friend, Hata Brant.

Still mad about boats? Where did you spring from?

Left at the crack of dawn, short strode at the end of the lake and back. Here I am

still walking. Like Felix. Yes, like Felix. I could have sworn I saw you at the house this morning.

Why, ghost perhaps? No. Decided to haunt us, have you? This is Richard. Richard Blake.

Hello. I did it. Well, still a mile from home. Better get walking. See you again sometime.

Who's he? Richard Warringdon. Distant relative.

What's the wind blowing? I don't know. Like you. Come on.

All right job work.

This is Mr. Waters that was in the Army with Blake.

This is Keir, Blake's brother.

Bill, how do you do?

Oh, splendidly, thank you.

Good.

Well, you have to excuse me. I've got to go to the shops.

Granddad wants to go down to the beach.

Yeah, I'll take him down later.

Well, see, he's well wrapped up. It's not all that warm for spring.

Thank you for the tea, Mrs. Henry.

That's all right.

This is more like a George.

I could be getting fat on the trap since the war.

Bit different, Miss.

When I was a kid, we used to catch him in live bait and a wagging great cork.

I'm not really a shooting man.

I assumed it would be.

There was boy having been a game, people.

People assumed the same thing about me.

Having a state.

I used to put a couple more mirrors when I went those shoots.

Strange I thought I was deaf.

Are you in the right sort of company then?

Well, the only reason I went shooting for was a company.

People don't last asking these guys.

Not since Beth bought the election for labor.

I suppose I'm partly to blame for that.

Oh, no, blame George.

Isn't that Ross and Blake?

Yes, yes it is.

How do you feel about those two?

You're not turned Catholic like Peg did, you know.

You wouldn't want them to, would you?

No.

With Peg, it was different.

That dickie out of her, she needed the comfort.

They have asked the arms.

People were worried that she might want children.

But Mark is as much against the risk as we are, it seems so.

That's all right.

You know, people of their age lost five years of their lives because of the war.

At least what you can do now is let them get on with it.

What do you think of it?

The garage.

The flat.

Oh, the flat.

Well?

I think I've got a lot better than the dump I spent three years in in Glasgow.

Bit of a shock after Lakehouse.

I used to tell myself it was the war at first.

When it dawned on me that people lived there normal times.

For some people it was their lives.

Didn't change your allegiance on me, not like Mark or Beth.

Mark?

You just don't know if it's stick to be daddy with that soul.

Why?

I don't know.

It's not unapproachable.

It's easy to put the blame on someone else.

I want to scream at God sometimes.

Say you make it too hard driving me away but make it impossible.

I know it's not that, it's me.

I'm not up to it that's all.

But don't be impatient with me.

Don't you drive me away?

You're hooked up.

Yes. Well done.

Isn't that wrong?

Here we go.

Hell on.

No.

Where are they now?

In a village near Leipzig.

And she's expecting Blake to help her?

Not necessarily.

Yeah, but she hopes he will.

If he's free.

Do you mean if he's not married?

She doesn't want to spoil his life.

It's not just a question of marriage.

This blokes she's married to. What did he do? What's his crime?

He believed in a German way to socialism.

I see.

It doesn't surprise you that they think of that as a crime.

I can understand that.

You approve of it?

I said I could understand it.

The whole point of revolutions to speed up change.

You can't have that if people are pulling in different ways.

He was purged.

He'll probably never be seen again. That doesn't uphold it.

Well, I regret it. The need.

The power of the state appalls me.

Well, I knew him. He was a good bloke.

Yeah, it is worse when you know him.

I remember flying over Germany on ops.

I'd look out and see some poor sod get it.

And I'd wait for his parachute.

Sometimes there wouldn't be one.

And it was a good deal worse when it was somebody you knew.

I used to think...

Sorry.

You're dead. I'm alive.

Bad show.

Yes, you couldn't go on if you let it screw you too far.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Well, that was a war. This is peacetime.

Is it?

I wanted to find out how things were within them.

That's all.

That's what you wanted me to do.

Well, ask him, I'm his brother, not his keeper.

Well, that's not what you asked of me.

It's up to you.

You wouldn't turn his back on his son.

Not as I knew him.

How well did you know him?

And what's turning your back anyway?

I love this town.

And some other people in it.

But I don't bit long here.

Sooner or later I'm going to turn my back.

There's always a war.

Even if it's only inside you.

Two gold sovereigns for them.

No, they're not with two of those brand new pennies.

I used to get in with stock in not Christmas.

Who says they're not?

I do.

What's wrong?

What is it?

Nothing's wrong.

You've been in this mood all day.

What mood?

Looking out of the window mood, turning your back on me.

Who has?

You here now.

I always like this when spring comes.

What time did he say over here?

Whose spring?

I'm rich, your idiot.

Mad seven, I said.

Here again next year, you know.

What?

Spring.

Everything beginning again, a new start.

That's what you were thinking, isn't it?

Do you know what I was thinking?

I'm right, aren't I?

No.

I don't count the days.

I don't look like that, you know I don't.

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

You've been in this mood all day.

What mood?

Hey, I said all that.

Well, there you are then.

Now, you know what, it's like to have someone worrying about you all the time.

I like it though, especially when there's no need.

You feel all right now after this morning?

Yeah, some fine.

I'm going to make a new start with Richard at the Iron Line.

He's offered me a job on the commercial side.

He knows I don't like working with Roberts on the estate.

Well?

Hmm?

Aren't you going to say anything?

Well, if it'll make you happy.

Well, I know it will.

You can't possibly know.

It's all right, I'm not going to argue against it.

I just don't want you to kid yourself.

It's going to be the answer to everything.

I know you and your enthusiasms.

Oh, they just don't last, do they?

What's wrong with me, babe?

There's nothing wrong with you.

When I was demobbed, it was like starting from scratch.

My whole life beginning again.

There came to your house, that's when it started.

All those ideas I had about politics, people and their lives, my life,

arguing on the doorsteps when we were in canvassing with your father about this brave new world you were all going to have.

Whatever happened to it all.

You took the job on the estate because it was handy.

So you could be near to me.

You married me and here we are.

I've got everything anybody could want.

Is that what's wrong with me?

Just what are you up across?

What are you up across?

What are you up across?

Just what are you up across?

Left-wingers really want.

What are you after?

Experation for the mess my class has made of it.

Oh.

You can wait inside if you like.

Thanks, but I'll take a little walk.

It's up to you.

Yes.

What you want with Blake?

Fight old wars, rake up old ashes, you know what these army types are, Grandad.

Do you want to piggyback a fireman's lift?

You think it's funny being old, don't you?

No, it's just a bloody nuisance, isn't it?

I will not be a nuisance to nobody.

Oh, come on, Grandad.

You know, I didn't mean you were a nuisance to me.

And growing older nuisance to you.

Oh, god.

Grandad.

Oh, god.

Grandad.

You know, I didn't mean you were a nuisance.

Yeah, look.

Try your eyes.

I'm sorry.

They're disappointed with the result of the election, George.

Ah, he was.

They have a majority, 150 after the war, now it's in his sixth.

Eh.

They're still determined to get the bill for the house.

Nationalized steel.

Why do you go silent for me whenever we touch on politics?

Fear, I think.

Fear of argument.

Shouldn't politics be argued then?

Oh, yeah.

Well then.

Well then, in grain, is it, George?

Plus?

This is part of the year.

It sure came here today.

Oh, yeah, and I enjoyed myself.

It's in the past, George.

Class.

Do sit down.

But, uh, I don't mean it's not still with us today.

I mean, it's part of the, the roots we sprang from.

It's hard to throw off.

Well, it's harder for you than it is for me.

You see that, too.

What have I got to lose?

The question is, would you ever want to throw it off?

Stop being who I am.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm not saying who I am.

What, my upbringing made me?

What's the answer, Donut?

I'm far from being a state, George.

Why don't we take this house?

It's as much a part of me as the clothes I wear.

More, really.

And yet, living in it alone.

Well, perhaps it wouldn't be as desperate to painful, to lose it.

Let's hope to see, George.

There's hope.

There you are.

League's gone home.

I said, I'd run you down.

When are you?

Trouble at sea?

No.

Just muting it.

He won't come back to work at all.

Oh, Doctor, I'm not letting him.

What will he do with himself?

Oh, any ideas?

What are you used to talk to him at work?

Why won't you come?

You came to see him yesterday, didn't you?

Why didn't you come in?

Was it because the doctor was there?

Yeah, yeah.

That was him.

Yeah, and liar.

I'm going to be talking about, weren't they?

You needn't bother to answer.

I know what's said.

I'm not going to miss my breath arguing about it.

But I don't know what he sees, isn't he?

If it's part of his life that's known to do with me, you can stop away for all I care.

Just as long as he knows where he stands.

You have no interest to me.

People like you just like telling other people how to behave.

Well, put your money where your mouth is, Keir.

He's up to you.

What are you doing here?

I have news from someone we know.

Where are they?

They're coming to the west.

on

Liam

I wouldn't bother about with you. The lady isn't it, oh?

Sorry I startled you. I met a chap that came up with a drive and he said he weren't at home.

I got a bit worried. Well you did seem in a bit of a state.

Well he'd done away with me and buried the body in the garden, did you?

I... It's just someone I go sailing with.

Sailings what I've come about as a matter of fact. I wondered if you'd lend me your boat.

Lend it. Well I thought I might get one myself but uh...

She has since I did any sailing, not much point of the magic's gone.

I'd like to try with yours if you wouldn't mind. I thought sometime tomorrow.

No where it is? Yes, yes.

You would like to come along with me would you?

I might consider it. I'm a bit off sailing just now.

Yes I did a bit during the war. Went over to Yankee Land to collect one of the lease lend destroyers and did a bit there.

Marvellous way to drown your sorrows as long as you don't drown yourself.

Sorrows? Well we all have a few don't we?

I'm sorry I should have asked. No, no I don't actually. I never found it much help.

I think I need help do you? Do you?

No dear I dig with in Glasgow used to say God helps those who help themselves.

Still a true blue Catholic are you? Aren't you?

I'm just an awful cinema a long way past redemption.

I find that very hard to believe. God doesn't want to know me. I've made a mess of someone else's life.

No I can't even face him. God or the man?

Neither. I'm such a cowardly sinner as you can see.

Well the road to heaven's littered with sinners sleeping it off.

If you say things like that I'll start to suspect Father Ross sent you.

Now why would he do that?

Offer me comfort perhaps. Remind me of the forgiveness of sins. It's nothing they like better than a sinner come to repentance and smell us coming a mile away.

I can't seem to stay still driving around all day anywhere.

I think I should be able to stand this house tonight. Hello?

Oh I wouldn't have thought it was old enough to have its own ghost.

Maybe I'll be the first.

All your ghosts old ones?

No all very young but too young to die.

I'm sorry. You killed in the Blitz weren't they?

Yes.

Never really knew your wife.

Why don't you stay with your father tonight?

The earthly one you mean?

Get you things I'll take you.

It sounded unpleasant like an order.

Did it?

Not like outside of the family are you?

You've known in a vision at all about belonging to the ruling class.

I'm going to spring time are we?

Younger than spring time are we?

Do you believe me?

Oh mister I lost.

Get in.

My mum says I've not thought talk to strange men.

Get in here.

Have you got any wine goals?

Mason's fixing her up.

You don't know what it's about.

I couldn't ask a little Mason there.

I think she ought to tell you herself don't you?

Yes, yes of course.

Well thank you for bringing her anyway.

How long since this was taken?

Just before the war.

Do do do sit down.

Damn shame they never felt able to get together.

My lot and yours I mean.

Why?

The mine and the works.

Raw material and processing under one board.

Would have made sense in those layers.

But not anymore you think?

We'd have been very much bigger than done it then but better.

You know I doubt it.

I don't doubt the economics.

Is that to be the only measure in the post war world?

You know I rather think it is.

Oh.

I'm off to bed.

Mason's orders.

Thanks for the lift.

Night.

Good night.

Sleep well.

Would you?

Good night.

It seems I'm not very told.

For the present at least.

There was a chap leaving the house when I got there.

He seemed a bit over-road.

Ah.

I thought it might be good.

Gilted being a good man.

I thought it might be good.

I thought it might be good.

Gilted being a good man.

I thought it might be good.

I thought it might be good.

Ah.

I thought it might be good.

Gilted being a self rather than what others want you to be.

What?

A rose has her own conception of sin.

I think I told you this is involved with one of Pegg's brothers.

He's not a Catholic.

Struggling to make ends meet.

And a sense of pride which prevents him asking for help it seems.

Yes I met him briefly.

He's a nice fellow.

Rose from the ranks, the captain of the war, was involved with the German woman when it ended.

There was a child.

It's arriving here tomorrow.

What have you done with the sugar?

I haven't. I don't use it, do I?

It's here.

Go on then.

Eh?

Say it.

Say what?

Alright I'll say it.

You've got a son coming tomorrow that you've never seen.

You spent a year in Germany trying to get him out with his mother.

And he's arriving tomorrow.

The way you all behaved and you'd think it was a bloody catastrophe.

I've shaped another life for myself since Germany came.

Rose Warrington.

I'm the iron and empty garage.

Where'd things worked out so first time since the war I've known what I was going?

What about religion?

I don't miss much. I'm not often allowed to talk about it.

She was ready to give it up and marry me.

Change the mind.

Doing the best not to see me this last week.

She knows what the situation is. I told her everything months ago.

Oh dear.

Emmills me son, Keir.

Yeah, it is just the son that bothers her. It's not the mother.

She knows better than that.

She wanted me to help them both. She said even if a man would have to hold things back of her.

Could be another reason, you know.

Like what?

Well, they don't like giving up what they've got. People like the Warringtons.

The women are worse than the men.

A very long journey from a great big house by a lake to living over a garage in Witsdanton.

Yeah mind.

My next novel will make it the fashionable thing to do.

Everything comes back to the class wall with you, doesn't it Keir?

Yeah.

I don't find life that simple. I wish I did.

It's easier when you can look up the rules.

And if your class of society sold down marvellous, how come Ertour was on the run from it?

Well, if a classless society is sold down terrible, why did she stay in Germany and send a kid out with Brant's sister?

Because of her husband.

What about breakfast?

Have I had mine?

Have I haven't had mine?

I don't serve breakfast to people who wriggle out a mess.

I didn't. It was the alarm that didn't go off.

Oh, who was supposed to make it go off?

It was a genuine slip up. What were these for?

Visitors.

I don't want visitors. I want just us.

You'll probably say that when a baby comes.

That's not the same thing at all.

What if someone likes to bite it now it's happened?

I don't know. I just am.

Happy evening.

Hmm. Possibly.

I'd love to. I admit it.

Father's watching this from up there.

Let him watch.

They're two pigs mother yet.

She's pregnant.

They're telling her today.

They're Protestants.

We're Catholics.

She has his heart condition.

Who comes first? The mother or the child?

Oh, there's an old argument.

I'm sorry.

Come and sit down.

It's going to be a new argument to them.

Who do you think pig would put first?

I don't know.

I knew who Mark would put first.

Do you do much praying these days?

Not as often as I should perhaps.

When I was little I could never imagine you praying.

I always used to think I should pray to you.

Prayers all answered.

No.

Faith still intact?

Yes.

I wish I would ask his guidance in your situation.

I'm supposed to be turning my back on him to marry someone his church.

Wouldn't allow me to marry.

Can hardly expect him not to be prejudiced in his guidance, can I?

Is that what you wouldn't talk to me about last night?

Any part of it.

God's sick of hearing of my situation.

I board him stiff on the subject of me.

He's used to that.

From all of us.

Yes.

I had this awful dream.

Where I said to Blake.

I'm giving you up.

He's only used you to test me.

To show me I can't give him up for you.

Then I turned to him to say, see how obedient I am.

And there was no one there.

Mr Valtors was saying you were in a...

How do you call it here?

Parliament.

Yes.

You have the same politics as Mr. Churchill?

No.

Same as your brother, a socialist.

You will know about my brother's wife in this man in Blake.

Yes.

Emile is his child.

I know that too.

When the British were the lords in the part of Germany where she was.

The food for protection.

She gave him her body.

The sword.

When the British left, the Russians gave.

And the child was in her.

And there was no food and no hope.

And in such a world, the woman is passed from one to the other.

To who will provide?

Do you understand?

Is that quite how it was with Blake?

Is that what your sister know, Tony?

I know how it was.

I know how it was.

When the meal show Mrs. Wankton.

Ah.

Ah.

Be sure.

It's time to go.

To Mrs. Das.

Shama was in an island.

I think she's going to be in an island.

See what happened.

Why didn't his mother come with you?

She wouldn't leave Brant in the end.

Well, how did she get out of East Berlin?

I don't really know.

Presumably Brant's friend had something to do.

I had a message one night from the police on the border saying Hatter was waiting for me.

And when I arrived there she was with the boy.

She had Hatter's papers too.

I couldn't do anything about it.

I didn't dare speak to anybody.

Not even Blake to be right at the end.

You think she'll stay here?

She's no real option.

She...

And they're nothing in Germany.

Why, do you think she worked?

She didn't seem terribly fond of the British, particularly Blake.

How does she see her future here?

Brant released, escaping from the East with Hatter to join her and the boy.

And desperate thinking, I suppose.

You know, when Blake and I first met Hatter on VE Day, she had nothing.

Her husband had been killed on the Russian front.

And you couldn't find her father.

She hadn't eaten for days.

But like Pyla in spite of all that, she never ever gave up hope.

Have you told Blake how permanent this is likely to be?

No.

I told my daughter.

She said a funny thing.

She said I always knew he'd win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

I told Blake to win in the end.

ame for the Sky truth

Oh, sorry now,

You sorry now,

Who was hard that he came

Maybe I don't like 2x

I can know you.

Something like that.

To me.

I tried to warn you, somehow.

So you?

Do you mind?

No, no, no.

Ah, yeah.

I wish we weren't having these people to stay, but pagan sis is.

You won't be coming, of course.

No, of course.

Must be a bit of a bind for Blake, this past.

You'll be doing it because of the boy, of course.

Loyalty.

Loyalty.

Ragged old word.

Honor, duty, loyalty, and things that go bump in the night

could all deliver us.

Well, he can't feel anything for her to now.

What do you know about it?

Is there any one before peg?

No, only the war.

Oh, you know nothing about it, then.

About what?

About what's left after.

There was a woman.

A few days after D-Day, we were

passing through France.

You don't tell peg this, you understand?

She was quite a bit older than me.

Lovely.

Long black hair.

Very pale.

Lovely, unique sort of face.

She was sitting by the side of the road,

and she had blood on her knees as if she'd fallen.

The truck stopped for minutes or two.

All the loud-nirthed squirties.

She looked straight at me because I wasn't joining in.

Then we went off.

I couldn't get out of my mind for at least a day.

You see, nobody who plays a part in your life

can ever mean nothing.

Such a very small part, Rod.

Small?

She's your only other woman.

Oh, shut up.

You're extraordinarily happy, aren't you?

Yes, extraordinarily.

Bye.

Bye.

I hope they don't nationalize you.

Oh, well, thank you, my dear.

Because you'd never be able to earn your living as a gardener.

You shattered an illusion I've always had.

Oh, I'm not saying you don't know you still.

It's the time you take.

My dear peg, you wouldn't want the pressures

of industry in a garden.

You maybe not.

But you'd be the first to complain if you didn't get

a fair day's work for a fair day's pay.

I'm off.

Home?

I promised someone I'd take them sailing.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Bye.

What's going to happen to them?

Rows and Blake.

I don't know myself.

I don't know.

Nice to see you looking nice.

Take it some pride in your appearance.

Not me usual scruffy, unwashed self, you mean?

No, land of mine doesn't wash himself.

I'm off out with some friends.

Lex lent me an old jalopy from his yard.

You can't drive.

Hello, I've read him, nor that, does he?

You should be coming with us to pegs.

Is it in the Rick's relations?

Visiting your sister.

You see me shoes?

They're not that clean.

He cleaned them for you.

Yeah, he did.

I don't believe it.

He used to regularly mean when he was a lad.

Don't give him any ideas.

He never took an idea from me and his life.

What do you suppose that means?

Well, the guess it means I'm to blame.

It's all my idea.

What is?

Well, the universe, creation.

This knows.

Yeah, she's no happier with it.

Well, what are you going to do about it?

What can I do about it?

Housing being what he did.

Those blue and buildings.

Was it bomb?

Oh, yes.

Nothing's in Germany.

How do you mean?

In Germany, there's nothing that's in me.

People used to say that on the war.

We've been bomb more than you.

Is it a surprise to be one?

You know, I'm here only for the boy.

They're a worst basis.

It's great, England.

Nice, Lucy.

Do you never defend your country?

Not from somebody who attacks it,

because they're afraid.

You've no need to be afraid of England.

I think he's feeling better now.

Oh, he's got it.

So are you there.

I'd get shot at dawn for that and no last cigarette.

And so would I if she caught me.

She's not ready.

Oh, she'll be down.

It's not every day we get to see a five-year-old grandson

for the first day.

And they be staying long?

I don't know.

Where's her husband?

Prison.

He's Germany.

She's not as far as I know.

She might as well be the old bloody country's of prison.

And exactly as you in prison for.

Politics.

He's a democratic socialist like you.

Yeah, we don't know we're born in this country, do we?

Mucking up your plans, is it?

All this.

That's one way, Putney.

There are things that work out.

You said that all your life, haven't you, Dad?

You hear?

Well, I'm not believed that I've said it.

And then trying to believe what I've said.

Well, you won't want to go on living if you thought

it would never stop raining, would you?

Pagan lover to the brightest stars in your night,

don't they?

But you think I don't care what happens to you and Keir?

No, I don't think I.

You've given me a grandson for all his abastard.

You see, you flinch when a caller's paid to spade.

But you work for him as I worked for you.

You care as I care.

Nothing to hold to that.

George Hayward.

He's late.

Well, it's not a boss.

He's telling us a favor to get me out of the house for a bit.

Charity.

I'm sorry.

I'm not even there.

I know you wouldn't let him if you thought it would charity.

You won't think of it as charity.

Why have you taken it against him?

Maybe I compare him to you.

And I find him wanting.

And what?

And what is he wanting?

I think so, to have love above you.

That's a death.

And what makes you sad there?

Well, he talks when you're talking politics.

Only time he upbs his mouth more than once.

Chips in when you're saying something like he knows better.

I know nothing about politics as you well enough know.

But I know the difference.

He always comes from your life, not from reading books.

I'm right, aren't I?

Well, he's more inclined to books than I am.

Smile on his face every time I dare open my mouth.

I clever little smile that says, oh, yeah, what do you know about it?

Ooh.

And that's more like you.

That what?

Woman I married.

Old guts, old spirit, old fire.

Some right battles do you remember?

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember.

Not like you though, I think.

When I were a little less than I felt, my mum used to say, yeah, she's been in the wars.

Comforted me.

No comfort for us though, was there from the last one?

Nor after.

Only you as you are trying not to remember as we were.

I don't glory in fighting.

She's in nature to fall off.

Oh, I'll fight me in nature then.

You can't give up your life because of me.

Can't I?

Don't you tell me what I can give up?

Yeah, you see.

You fight her.

What are you going to let him in, a wolf?

Well, this isn't what I'm used to on the Sunday afternoon.

40 winks under the Empire news is what I usually look forward to.

Where's your wife?

Next door at pegs.

Seems funny.

Say next door in a place like this.

What's the feeling of the work so about nationalisation?

Well, there's a feeling that if we don't get a public monopoly, we'll be able to get a public

monopoly.

We'll get a private one.

I know which I'd soon have.

You're a foreword.

What's the feeling on the board?

Against.

That about, uh, songs are done, doesn't it?

There's been a lot of talk about the bad old days in the house.

Why do you all not keep raking over the past?

Because they happened and they could happen again.

Maybe they do it to remind us.

Well, this bill hits the heart of industry.

We've got a good post-war record.

The story to why you should have anything else.

Market conditions have been ideal.

Yes, yes, well, that's true, of course.

But I really mustn't talk shop in Sunday.

In any case, I've been asked to give you a message.

Pegs are going to have a child.

She's probably telling her wife at the moment.

She's going to tell you to reassure you.

Yes, sure.

What we feared all along.

Mark shared your fears with all the George.

Except Pegs?

How long have you known?

Oh, a week or two.

When is it due?

December.

December.

December.

December.

How long have you been there?

I don't know.

I'm just going to get out of here.

Don't worry about me.

It's what you wanted, isn't it?

Yes.

What does Mark feel about it?

It was like you were first, but he's great now.

It was bound to happen, I suppose.

Yes.

Nothing I can say then, is there?

No.

Better get knitting.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

From this earth, do not forget to leave any places.

I'll see you any more at a practice fair.

And the Faithful Highway

Doug!

inkling

T

No, no, no, no, no, no.

No.

No, no.

Is there a different game?

Mark.

I was just wondering, unless you managed to produce someone so normal,

on a ball like chaos.

Oh, we're a resilient species.

Your family are spoiling them already.

What do you think to Branche's sister?

I'll be too grisive.

I'll be too free.

She can't go back and they don't know anybody else here in the west.

I think in those circumstances I'd be afraid.

And somebody had to come with a boy when his mother decided to stay with Branche.

What are Branche chances?

I do roars on the phone.

Didn't she tell you?

I'm finding it a bit difficult to talk to Ross, especially the last couple of days.

She seems to be out to call us.

Well, that's silly, of course.

Silly.

It's not going to help, anything, is it?

And she told you she did you, me.

No.

It's not that, anyway.

It's just where this whole damn situation.

Is it?

Well, obviously.

It's not obvious to me, Beth.

What did she say on the phone?

She said I always knew he'd win in the end.

Sounds a bit odd, I must, didn't it?

Not to me, it doesn't.

Well, perhaps she thought it would all be too much for you.

And I told her she thought it was another of your son was coming.

Somebody you still cared for, perhaps.

You got a very low opinion of me, Beth.

I'd have told Ross if it had been like that.

I have mother, Blake.

I want her to be prepared.

Oh, she'd always be prepared for anything that adds to that cross she

loves to be.

Are you going to blame religion for everything?

Your religion comes into everything.

Sorry I got mixed up in it.

My life grinds on like a useless piece of machinery

and tip-top condition producing nothing.

I've done nothing of value since the war.

Transmovies to Emile and I am.

At least he's an example.

A catch.

Ha!

Good catch.

It's going to look better on me.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I'll race you fine.

Hi!

You hear the right to give up?

To where you out?

Oh, he'd make somebody a lovely wife.

Just get it down there.

What went wrong, Jack?

I just came to ad, didn't it?

I mean, it's been going wrong for years.

Ever since I was dead in prison, a bad food had come.

A layer of dysentery.

I've never took amre, you know.

I know why you're not working.

But it's...

These men have had any kids.

Was everybody expected it?

Well, that's how it started anyway.

She was only 18 when we married her.

But you're not a fault thing where she's got.

So she won't let me anywhere near her until they come any down.

It was the war.

Not a time to bring kids into wealth, she said.

And now it's me.

Well, I mean, everything's got badly for me.

I don't want to leave her in other mouths to fade to her.

I mean, not even a roof offer, eh?

A roof?

A house?

It's condemned.

Oh, he's right.

It's subsided.

Oh, my God.

Hey.

Hello.

Anyway, you won't put it on it.

You should have let it run a bit.

You should have let it go.

I don't want to let it go.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm sure she's got plenty anyway.

Do not we have much help?

Well, we'll be fine.

Here, have a cup.

Thank you.

You will go now?

Soon.

My father died when I was here last.

I was only able to bring you here because I had lived to clear up his estate.

He had an estate?

No, no, it means his possessions.

He left very little as a matter of fact.

You go back to Germany?

Oh, yes.

I would come too.

But I must look after the boy.

Lake will look after the boy.

I promised her to, I would look after the boy until my brother and she get out.

Then I go to Germany.

With the boy?

Of course with the boy.

Is it Germany, is he not?

No, no.

No, no, no.

Want me to drop you back at your place?

No, I just want to stay out here.

But life being what it is?

Well, you converted me.

You want?

Sailing?

Is there any doubt?

Only that I might have seen it as an escape from things one shouldn't try to escape from.

We don't often get much time for thought, do we?

I'm glad you're converted.

You're not usually very good at conversions.

Shower?

These two eyes do?

Is there anything you doesn't like to eat?

Ini Dennigden, he's German.

No, come on.

Cheats!

It's you.

Your sister's with child.

Yes.

To have a child in circumstances such as these.

Does she know how lucky she is?

Well, there are other human disasters besides war.

Should I tell you what it was like in German?

You can listen.

I know how it was.

I was there not long before.

You were a soldier in a victorious army what you know what it was like for a woman at that time.

Perhaps you are right with what you said.

Perhaps you are right with what you said.

A German will eat anything.

Some German women were feeding their babies in a refuse.

And then as a compliment this country's crawling with finicky kids started already as it.

What is started?

Post-war aggression, lost pride, I won't go on.

It's a bit of a pointless exercise.

I'm sorry.

All right.

It's me.

I got out of bed the wrong side this morning.

It's an expression.

Like funny peculiar.

She told me many things.

She was not bitter that you left her with child.

I was.

Well, you have your own life now.

I enjoyed that.

It didn't mean for a bit will that.

You're not getting straight off of you.

Well, I promised I'd do some writing tonight.

Well, I promised you.

You promised me.

One of the tricks is that promising yourself.

Sit down, pick up a pen.

Look at the paper.

London can make you right.

Standing outside Joe Lyons with an empty belly and took him in your pocket.

Words come like magic.

Right, so to words.

Sometimes there's fertility and corruption, Jack.

He says he's going.

So are you.

To bed.

You've had a good day.

Don't push your look.

Come on. I'll see upstairs.

I can see me sell upstairs, thanks.

I'm not a bobby.

Hello, Will.

Thanks, old lad.

You're welcome, brother.

Of the proletariat.

Up the stairs.

Up the stairs.

You made it a good day for him.

I'm sorry if I've not seen grateful.

Living in this bloody house doesn't help.

I've lived in streets like this all my life.

Two rows down from what they call working class.

He lumps them all together.

I don't.

Two rows of the other way, me.

Puts us four rows apart.

I'm going to feel like.

Hi.

I'm going to be a little bit nervous.

It's next stick sometimes.

You show me the door.

Two sides to a door.

I'm going to be a little bit nervous.

I didn't think you'd get away with it, did you, Ros?

Can you drop the jib?

Did you, me?

But I'd see you, me.

Even a dog gets a good bite, Pat.

I can understand you.

No, that's right.

What did you sort it out for myself first?

Don't confess to me.

See you priest.

Confess.

Maybe selfishness isn't a sin in that book of yours.

You taught me a few.

Love, patience, a couple of deadly ones there I'm guilty of.

I'm learning you see how to twist it to make it straight.

I'm an extra weight, Blake.

I'm just another on top of the rest.

How can you drag yourself up with me on your back?

Me and all the others in your life.

What's the excuse, is it?

For what?

You're never giving it up.

You can have you.

I'm no competition you see.

But to work your way, you'd have had me too.

I mean these confessing to what I'm not ashamed of.

Not a chance, Ross.

Not a chance.

Does he have to call me, hair Blake?

Does he defend you?

He's my son.

My brother's the only father he knows.

And lots.

Is it asking you too much to let it be so?

You'll have to know in time.

In time.

We will all know perhaps.

What it was about and who was right and who was wrong.

His mind needs peace now not war.

Don't preach morality to me Miss Brent.

My name is Paola.

Is there to be a war between us?

I'm all that he has at his family.

Familiar is how you say.

What do you wish for him?

I don't know.

When we've heard her and I live together for those few weeks.

It was a word she wouldn't let me use.

Save it for when I come she said.

It's the roughest word there is.

Love.

It's very well.

Hines by three.

Sir.

What does he mean?

Search me.

He talks in riddles these days.

He hates not being able to go down to the beach.

It was Georgia, the lads, to cut some steps for him.

But they don't think they could make him safe.

Of course, he thinks we don't do it on purpose.

Haven't you, work of your own to do?

What's wrong, Marshall?

So do you keep coming here?

Let's be do as I want.

It's fine, is ya?

I suppose, especially now.

Please, does he?

Yes, he is.

And you?

It happened.

I shall make the best of it.

Oh, mum and dad go on at me.

I've shamed them, she says, living with a chap I'm not married to.

Oh, I don't care.

Does that sound hard?

No, not really.

Well, they'll never let me live it down,

even though we are to wed.

People around here, they'd make a life of misery

if you didn't grow a skin.

Care wants to watch himself?

Yeah, somebody I've told me something the other day.

You know how they'd like to insinuate without telling.

About him and some woman.

What's he up to?

Nothing at all, I should think.

Might as well know.

It's her, the name she's got.

MUSIC PLAYS

It seems bright enough.

It works, that's it.

Where's your shopping bag?

Not going shopping for me.

You're dinner hour, you're getting all the time to yourself.

You can't go, have you waiting for the doctor, can you?

Come on, give it to you.

Yeah, bossy.

I've got to take this to work with me.

Standing the time office will keep an eye on it for us.

I bring it back when I've done.

But you don't shop for your mother.

I come off shift at five.

MUSIC PLAYS

MUSIC PLAYS

Not so early today.

What a clock's not early.

Now when you start at seven.

You don't have to impress me, you know.

She's taking her time finding the sugar.

She does such a lot.

I can't seem to stop her.

It's as if she looked on herself as being a servant.

It's a bit, well, you know.

You're humiliating.

Per it is.

You didn't see the Germans at the end of the war.

Look at your boots for the lump of sugar.

She's not like that.

She's just sort of determined.

She spent half an hour the other day looking for something

rather than ask.

She just won't admit to being beaten.

There you have it.

Push and pride.

Oh, she's coming.

I have fun.

I find.

Nene, Riddell.

Where's the boy?

He's outside with a gardener.

What do you always call him, the boy?

He's your son.

I know it.

He doesn't.

Does that change how you feel for him?

Paola won't mind him knowing when he's more settled.

You told me that, didn't you?

Yes.

I told you.

Paola won't mind.

That's a nice.

I'm going down the lake.

He thinks I should leave Emile here with him and go back to Germany.

He does not believe that my brother will be freed.

What about Emile's mother?

At the worst day in the east, be near my brother while he's alive.

And I know what you're thinking.

You're saying suppose they killed him?

If that happened, would she come here then?

She would try to come to the west, to the west Germany.

And that would take the boy to be with her.

We are Germans, you see.

I'm sorry if I sometimes seem ungrateful, but I'm afraid.

Afraid to be left in another country without a hope of return, as thousands are.

Because life is not possible for them in their own land.

You better get over there, they're all lining up for the buzzer.

You think they didn't like their jobs?

They won't go without the wages.

You're a welcome first.

You're always welcome when you carry wages, even a dome.

Oh, will you tell me mother I'll be late?

Well, again, why don't you tell her before you left this morning,

she'll have proof for you.

For God.

See you later.

Big's father and brother.

But awkward for you, isn't it?

Having them on your own doorstep, as it were?

Oh, I don't know.

Rather than take advantage of the fact that we're related.

If there's any embarrassment at all, it's probably on their side.

And pigs are delight, she really is.

Marvellous for me having them with the flat.

They're settled there, then.

I think so.

I think they are, you know.

What do you ask?

I saw market lunch time, it seemed a bit down.

I've raised the question of a job at the mine again.

What you said?

Well, I said before, it'd be a bit pointless

with nationalization looming over us.

There might be something else for him, though.

Oh?

One drawback, far as you're concerned.

What is it?

They'd happily be the area, I'm afraid.

Come on.

She's as good a member of Parliament as you were.

She means you're better than I was, Beth.

But she's just too nice to say so.

I'm not nice.

I used to be nice before we came to live in this house.

Well, I must be going.

Nice talk and you, Mr. Postor.

They don't mind if I don't stand up.

Cheerio.

Bye-bye, Mrs. Warrington.

Bye-bye.

Tell George I'll see him another time.

All right.

Tell her.

Bye.

She's a fine girl, Ellen.

I was wondering how she was going on.

She's OK.

She's getting married.

She went off the rails a bit after Owen,

but she's all right now.

You're very fond of her, aren't you?

She lived with us right through that business

of Owen being posted dead.

Then when he came back, well, they got him in the end,

the japs for all he's supposed to have killed himself.

I suppose we're shaking them by the hand these days, are we?

Not quite.

It'll only be a matter of time.

What do you want?

We weren't laughing at you, Grandad.

You make it worse when you lie.

Well, not in a nasty way, we weren't.

Oh, I'm old.

I'm a clown to be laughed at.

I know it.

Oh, stop feeling sorry for yourself.

We only want you when they need you,

and I have something to need now.

Thanks to you.

What's wrong with the house, Ellen?

You said you used to be nice before you came to live here.

It's too much away from things.

There's no more out the way than the old one was.

All the life we've lived was in that house.

You could open a drum, there'd be something there.

A letter, a pair of blakes, all shots had not thrown away.

Buttons off some dress and warm when it was a girl.

I've never thrown buttons away.

All of it gone in that fire.

It didn't matter then, being cut off.

Not without that around you.

Backens.

Nothing wrong with buttons.

There's something you know that I don't.

What it really means to be working class.

I can't give you that, Beth.

Either it's in your own, it isn't.

Anyway, there's socialism just for the working class then.

We're going to have to redefine working class

if we're going to get the same sort of majorities

we got after the war.

Mark, booted Labour then.

I don't see it in him now.

He takes after his father now.

All the old Tory assumptions from before the war.

Oh, John's decent enough.

Not like that other relative of yours,

his opposite number at the mine.

What's wrong with Richard?

You're an incongvide at the mine, Bob Maxwell.

I'll tell you, if you're interested.

But of course I'm interested.

The people who work there are my constituents.

Why are you being so shy and a subject?

I spot Maxwell.

Hello.

You've been down the house.

Yes. I'm resting.

You complained.

You do too much.

I want to hurry him on.

I don't want to be like this at the wedding.

He haven't got a couple of nice brides means, have you?

That I can palm off under those two lads of mine.

Oh, Helen knows about Keir and Martha Blaze.

Well, she knows there was something not straight anyway.

But I like the lads.

She's got landed.

She's got a couple of little lads.

She's got a couple of little lads.

I like the lads.

She's got landed.

Bit like me in a way.

The rabbit's in with the carrots.

Three.

Tommy Appelby at the shop.

He said he's put the rabbit in with the carrots.

Put it on, rabbit.

That's life for you.

Line next to all them carrots.

They'd.

That one looks as serious.

I'm glad you're not taking this too badly.

You say just for anybody else to come out with, don't you?

Do you know?

Mm-hmm.

Why shouldn't I?

Is that what you're right?

Things like, I'm glad you're not taking this too badly.

Cool.

Is it all that, does it?

Name in there.

You.

Me.

It's called economy of words, that.

Keeping it straight.

Simple.

Simple.

You'll learn.

What will I learn?

You'll learn.

You walked out.

I'm surprised Robert hasn't phoned you.

He's probably getting his side of the story straight.

And how is that like to decide what you'll say?

Oh, he'll probably tell you that he

asked me to make a tour of the tenant farms,

and I've flatly refused.

You didn't consider it a reasonable request?

There are plans in the office for every tenant

farm on the estate.

He wanted me to catalog the outbuildings.

The information's already there in the office.

I had enough of that sort of thing in the army.

Blanco, Blanco, Blanco again.

Don't stop where you might start to think.

You'll put it on to Robert's background, do you?

He's resented me ever since I started the job.

Probably because I'm family.

I wonder if you would have flatly refused

to do what he asked if you hadn't been family.

Anyone would have.

Would they?

Someone with no wonderful back on with a family?

What does a port would they?

Roberts himself, for example.

Thanks for pointing that out.

You forced it out to me.

It wasn't a reasonable request.

It was totally reasonable.

We do have records in the estate office.

Of course we do.

But records have to be brought up to date from time to time.

It's one of those boring tasks that life demands of us,

even those of us who have the good fortune to be a born family.

And apologies due to Roberts.

I'd be glad we could make one.

Okay.

Well, I'm glad he's here.

I have to go back to the yard to finish the job.

I'd like to take him away with me.

To the yard?

Yeah, I'd like him to see where I work.

Always and I will come also.

Why don't you want me to be alone with him?

But I did not say that.

You made it pretty plain this last month.

I would like to come.

Right.

If you'd like.

Is it permitted for a German to work here?

To work.

Yes, I wish to work.

Why didn't you say you needed money?

Well, we have is what you give us.

Yeah, well, if we need more.

I only wish to work.

Emmying show.

Nice little chap.

You talk to.

You can hardly go to talking.

A bit of German I picked up over there.

Yeah, she makes a new effort to teach him English.

What chance do I get with her around?

She wants a momblemish to a good little member of the master race.

That's a real changing blade.

Things are going to change here too.

You said that when I first met you.

Five years ago.

Oh, it's time I was off, George.

Oh, I've marked up a copy of the letter of roll for you.

I'll let you have it next week.

I doubt it will need it this year.

Adley, a long arm, don't you think?

Mind, I'm glad I'm not still in the house with that size majority.

Staggering through the lobbies with the rest of the walking wounded.

How are your legs these days?

Oh, better than they were.

I think I'll start off up the track.

Then I'll reach the car before Beth's finished up there.

I can't abide people crawling along beside me at my pace.

I've got the answer.

I'll see you next week, George.

You sure you wouldn't like me to come with you?

No, stay and listen to the answer.

I've got it.

Yes, he's in.

Robe to the starter.

Hey, what starter?

Engine off me old boat, gear down.

Here you are.

Look to the starter.

Windless and some sort of harness.

Yeah, later on, eh, Dad?

Hi, later on, later on.

Anyway, thanks for coming.

The trouble is we don't see enough of each other.

I'll just get it for you.

Thanks, Hallelujah.

Where's Tom?

He's beating you to the car.

He's a silly man.

Tell me, George, what do you know about a man called Bob Maxwell?

Where's the Union Convener in the man?

And what's his...

Willy's involvement with Richard Warrington?

They can't stand the side of each of them, told.

Is that all?

Er, well, it's all I know.

It's common knowledge.

Ooh, that's a beauty.

Well, I'll see you next week then.

Bye, Hallelujah.

Bye, better.

I'll see you out.

Bye, George.

Hello.

You'd have liked that, wouldn't you?

To do a job, er...

Use your talents instead of wasting your time on those lot.

Pills before swine.

Don't say that.

Hey, I was joking.

There's some truth in it though, isn't there?

You make it sound as if bringing up a family hasn't been worthwhile.

Hallelujah, we're not done yet.

We've still got three nozins.

They can bring trouble through the door any time.

Care.

Left it too late.

All the best girls got taken in the bush

at the end of the war.

Like them that came late for the mob suits.

If the caller was right, the sleeves wouldn't fit.

Still, you weren't exactly made to measure.

More of the pegs, they say.

You've got to take what you can and make the best of it.

If you know what I mean.

I've got to wait for his things.

How is he?

Not so good. You get off her.

No, no, wait.

You've not eaten it.

I ain't too much anywhere.

I don't think so to look at you.

Where's the old guy?

I hate hospitals.

I say goodbye to my mammon in hospital.

Then my dad, and then I was on my own, except for Jack.

Like stations.

Hospitals.

I used to hate it when he went back.

I'd go home, shut the door.

Be lawful.

Who used to wave you were baring?

Dad, Mom never came to the station.

Oh, that old blame.

Love deals.

Love deals, what?

Wave you goodbye?

Oh, there was a lass.

First two leaves when I was doing matraining.

And they sent me off to Canada for aircrew

when I got back she'd married a corporal from the Somersets.

The what?

Somersets. It's a regimen.

Come away.

Seems not.

I didn't mind. I was glad really.

You met somebody else in Canada, did you?

One or two.

Only one or two.

His eyes were closed when I went in.

He was asleep.

I might as well have not been there except for me.

It were like that when he first came back.

I'd know before I even set out it wouldn't even know I'd been.

But I couldn't have not gone.

Why?

OK, see, came around, I suppose. Isn't that what you thought?

Maybe. Maybe that was it.

Notice anything different?

No.

No, I don't think so. What?

There's just you and me.

Oh, that.

Blake's taking them down to the yard.

Good.

He's going to put some straw down in one of the outhouses

so they can sleep there.

Good.

That's nice.

What did you say?

I said you were late.

Yes, I went straight round to see Father.

Something wrong?

No, no, of course not.

I'm sorry.

We had a row.

He wants me to apologize to Robert St.

and damned if I will.

After all, I am a Warringdon.

That used to be a main complaint. Not living here.

You like it here, don't you?

I feel safe.

For this, when it comes.

What's wrong with your present house, Moxon?

No, sir.

Which I took apart time job when I left you

and they house them with the job and now they want it.

Yes, well, that's the trouble of your old house, you see.

Young Thompson has it. He works in the estate.

But you know young Thompson, don't you?

Yes, I thought that would be the case, but I thought there might be something.

With a shortage of houses since the War Moxon,

we had the same trouble with Mark when he married.

He's living in the flat of the back here now.

I saw him about five years back.

He knocked at the door. He was canvassing for the labor I'm sorry to say.

Well, I'm sorry if I interrupt you, sir.

I thought I should ask.

Well, I literally know if I hear of anything, but...

I'll just throw myself out, sir.

I shouldn't know the way the number I've shown out of here in my time.

Thank you for listening to me, sir.

Good night, Moxon.

Good night, sir.

Sorry about that.

Never see sister surprise me that people like that chap vote Tory, but they obviously do.

I wonder if they regret it when they get to his age.

Do we do enough for the old as we should?

You're feeling guilty because you couldn't offer him a house.

Don't underestimate the importance of feeling guilt, Richard.

I don't think I do.

But what does guilt actually achieve?

Unless, of course, it leads to action.

A revolutionary? You?

Come off it, John. You know my politics. They're the same as yours.

Broadly, perhaps.

And that's what counts when the chips are done?

Yeah.

Well, now tell me, what do you think of the works?

Under capitalized, efficiency doubtful, right for takeover at a knockdown price.

Ha ha!

You don't miss your words, do you?

Oh, John, you must know it's true.

How can you plan to re-equip, plan anything with nationalization hanging over you?

Well, we carry on as if it wasn't.

For the largest employers in the area barring yourselves, we have a responsibility.

Anyway, you must have been impressed by the invention we put into keeping the old plan going.

The war taught us that.

The war's over, John.

People are more impressed these days with a good profit margin.

Frankly, figures excite me more than make to amend.

I'm bored with all this business about keeping the wartime spirit alive.

I'm bored with all the damned uncertainty in this industry of ours.

They wanted so badly, let them have it.

You're not serious.

Sure.

Why not?

There's always another mountain to climb.

Emil, do you just need? Can you take the key out?

Can you make it work?

No, but he can flatten the battery.

Yeah, give me the intrusory.

Nistamichpilunietz, yeah?

And Emma Arbart, it's cyprav.

Emil, do you just need? Can you take the key out?

Can you make it work?

No, but he can flatten the battery.

Yeah, give me the intrusory.

Nistamichpilunietz, yeah?

Nistamichpilunietz, yeah?

And Emma Arbart, it's cyprav.

Before the war, was this your work?

I was a mechanic, but at the time it works.

How to tell me you were an officer during the war?

Mutton dressed as lamb.

I wouldn't bother trying to understand that.

It's not important.

What else did you tell you?

All about you?

About the time when you met in the house?

Oh, bad, of course.

No, not all bad.

Oh, no.

I was beginning to believe him as black as you seem to want to paint me.

I wouldn't bother trying to understand that, either.

You don't like Germans, I think.

It's the sin.

It's not true, anyway.

Too simple to be true.

If it were possible for me to work, could I work in?

Doing what?

Well, I could clean.

Over my dead body.

Oh, that's a joke.

That was someone used to work out anyway.

It didn't work out.

What now, then?

Oh, am I supposed?

I'll come back with you.

Gee, don't want to make your father's house when she marries.

Chapel's a house of his own.

What?

Nice little house, your father's.

Easy to run.

Nice little house.

It must be desperate.

Call and label, not room to swing a cat.

That's what you used to say about it.

I wish you didn't have such a good memory.

I know what you mean about this place.

We've just got different needs, that's all.

Still, I'll grow old like him, and then it'll be a problem for me too.

I suppose that's one argument for moving now.

Hello.

Go through.

You've done a boat.

Yeah, it's in his room.

Right.

You're too be waiting on you.

Hi.

In the oven, steaming mad, saying he's late again.

I'll get you, sir.

No, no, it's all right.

It's the least I can do for what you've done for me.

For Jack.

You've only got to be barely civilized to do what bit I've done.

Isn't that what most are?

What have you got against people?

What they are.

Maybe you don't.

Read people right.

I used to wish I didn't.

Jack doesn't seem like I do.

He's like you, Jack.

I'm not sure.

Jack doesn't seem like I do.

He's like you, Jack.

How do you read me then?

Not like I used to.

You must have thought I was awful.

Why?

I used to go out on my way to make you think you weren't welcome.

Think you notice?

No.

I'm lying.

It's because I did just notice.

Why did you do it?

Don't you?

I'll have to read minds.

I thought writers were supposed to know about people.

I'm not a writer. I'm a laborer at the Ironworks.

I think he's a writer.

Seems I think of Jack as a painter.

A painter?

Why?

I used to paint pictures for a few years back.

I've been in the room space most of them.

I don't know why I stopped.

You just stopped one day.

I could never get out of him, why?

Why did you want me to feel not welcome?

Hasn't anybody told you?

What?

About your number.

No.

Oh, well, you'd be in London maybe when it happened.

I used to work at the Ironworks with Jack, like you do.

I used to come back to our politics.

Same as you.

Only it wasn't just that he came for.

He wasn't a bad chap.

I liked him in some ways.

Only you got ideas.

Nothing I said.

Jack?

Hmm.

I thought he might have talked the same to you.

Jack is...

looking for somebody he knows you'll be safe with when he's gone.

He means to care for you.

Yes.

He means to care for me.

What about John Abbot?

I killed himself under a train.

We had two years, me and Jack, before the war.

Two years and a few bits of leave he got before he got posted.

Then he came back like he is.

That's been his life.

And yours.

It's you he's worrying about.

It's more of a way to misery and youth than in them when you worry about somebody you're careful.

He's carrying your troubles around within as well as his own.

He's looking for his own peace of mind in seeking to care for you.

Even this house is condemned.

Thank God and not come back to it.

You don't know that.

Do you think he wants to? Do you?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

You know, I had an idea when we spoke some time ago that you had my eye on our face.

An amalgamation of the mind and the works.

Am I wrong?

I played with the idea, but you discarded it.

Well, I'd have approached you otherwise.

Did the prospect of nationalization, could you all?

That and my boredom with the industry.

I put my eye on something quite different as a matter of fact.

A new prospect for that new world that's coming.

You won't mind if I don't tell you what it is.

Would there be some kind of future for a market?

Very much so, I would have bought it.

I think it might be approaching fairly soon about that job.

Could you learn about any kind of capital?

I doubt if you'd accepted from me.

He's got shares in the company.

It's been a ball, but I think something could be arranged.

Well, I'll keep you informed, I think.

Well, you see, whilst I give her my love?

Yes, of course.

If I think I can future my new couple of years since I went home...

W aut a topic.

Perfect.

Well, I indeed, as always, I went home, and there got me an opportunity.

You just miss Richard.

Oh, Richard, miss me.

You're very friendly with that side of the family these day.

Well, it's better than the old feuding, don't you think?

Of course.

I had a pretty sharp exchange with Mark today.

Yes.

He told me on the phone.

Oh?

He always used to, you know, when he was a boy,

whenever he and he had an exchange.

Not to ask me to intercede or anything, just to tell me.

He's going into something with Richard.

Into what?

I really have no idea.

Or some scheme he hasn't mind.

You keep an eye on it.

Well, of course.

Why do I ask?

Well, it's something we still share, isn't it?

Our concern for them.

Do you know how long it is since we went for a walk together?

Not that long, is it?

It's about 10 years.

Hey, get off with you.

10 years, it is.

You used to do now, tells at one time.

Well, we better be getting back.

You'll be out of the light in the fire.

Hey, you'll not burn this one down.

You wouldn't want to move out of sight of the sea and they're on that many left.

Come on.

You don't mean to ask him about his house, then?

Well, you'd make a better job of it than me.

You'll take a lot of persuading.

I'm sorry.

I can't settle here.

What's the house except a place to live in?

You're going?

Yeah.

You feel badly?

Yeah.

I don't think I feel.

You wanted to go on, didn't you?

If I hadn't stopped, you would have let me go on.

Yes.

I'm supposed to feel guilty now in your own book, can't I?

No, I'm blowing myself.

What for?

Being human, feeling what anybody else had felt.

We'd only just got back from the hospital.

That was why, didn't you know?

Why?

I wanted to blot it out.

Out of my mind, all together, as if I'd never been.

You can't.

You can't.

You can't.

You can't do something like that out of your mind.

Can't you?

Well, you can't.

I can see that.

I can.

I have to.

It's how I go on.

Yeah.

You and John Abbott.

You and John Abbott.

You and John Abbott.

No.

No, not me and John Abbott.

It was another light you.

You're one real man.

And he's on his way to leave me.

No.

Paul, it took me if I was you.

You'll never forgive yourself.

It's just him.

Yeah.

I can't understand.

I can't understand.

Oh, you're learning.

I can learn something else.

Think what it means to him.

To be faced with wanting it for me.

Bringing his mind to it.

Putting the other aside.

Think of that.

You're not the man he thought you were, are you?

I love you.

Do you?

You're ashamed of that as well.

Come here.

Help me, please.

Help me.

Emil, head two.

Emil, last fuck.

Laurie.

Laurie.

Have you lived here long?

No, no, the house before was burnt down.

In the war?

No, no, no, not in the war.

Though it didn't make me realize what it must have been like to lose everything that you've gathered together over the years.

My whole family, except my brother and myself, were killed.

It's time he was in bed.

Well, say goodnight to Grandad.

Go.

He does not like to hear such things.

We fight against evil things.

That's what Chuchu said.

I think Blake has difficulty in grasping that he didn't mean every individual German.

He tells me that your brother is a socialist, like me.

Yes.

But in my country they put socialists like you into prison.

Yes, he told me he was in prison.

It's for him that I look after such a child.

If they let him go, I will take the boy to be with him.

But if they kill him.

I thought I missed you.

Where are you going?

Why didn't you wait for me?

You were asleep.

Oh, God.

How do you wait for somebody that's not sleeping?

I was leaving a note.

Only a note?

Not a letter.

Both sides written on.

Let me read it then.

I haven't written it yet.

I was thinking what to put.

Shall I tell you?

But I'm a man and I answer to myself.

Do I?

Wouldn't I have to answer to you if I'd been out all night?

If I was your wife, you might.

I have time to get back before they wake up.

Answer to yourself?

I am. I'm answering the man in me that doesn't want to cause his mother any pain.

All right.

I'll set you for that.

What do you think she felt like during the war?

Or is it a fate worse than death when in a night with Martha Blaze?

One day I'll tell you what it was for me.

You're right, it's down.

All right.

That won't be.

Still?

Yep.

I better get finished dressing.

Yeah.

Well, now a little. We used to live down Kimberley Street.

We didn't have a proper W.C.

We used to have to cross the yard to get the Earth Closets next to the meetings.

Once a week, the meeting men used to come at dawn.

Right now.

Like clockwork.

Dead flares lit up the yard.

I used to wake up, look up at the ceiling and see the flames.

And I get out of bed, open the curtains.

They used to work really quiet when we were in the muck.

And the faces used to laugh and the choke on it so as not to wake folks sleeping.

It's not like Kimberley Street, this street.

Maybe no street is anymore.

I rattle up and down the hour while I was not carrying those sleeps.

I can't wait.

I'll go.

They're watching as you go up the street.

As I was somebody watching, she was what Ellen is.

Sharp little eyes will watch you.

Sharp little tongues will clack.

I can cope with that now.

And you.

We'll see.

Where's we going?

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.
