You can listen but not imagine.

Yes, it's like there's an area always in there where you get some energy, I think.

Sound Velocaudio

Thank you.

Oh, you're running, Dad.

Rotten day, getting by the looks of it.

You'll, er, not want to go down to the beach in this.

No, no, no.

I'm not going to go down to the beach.

I'm not going to go down to the beach.

I'm not going to go down to the beach.

I'm not going to go down to the beach.

I...

You'll, er, not want to go down to the beach in this.

No.

They want it shattered. They will be back to dinner, er,

if it clears up the boys and give you a lift down then.

Bring you a cup of tea.

They know you're there when you're summitly want.

So, what got you out of it?

Erm, someone's watching the guards at the garage and now for now.

Oh, did you get the register talking about for you, please?

No.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, come on, I'll get you a breakfast.

There's no point in raising your mother until her alarm goes off.

I'll give him a beer, please.

I'll give him a beer, thank you for waking in the now before his turn.

Oh, you asked me to last night. It wasn't going to get in the lifting.

Where about you?

No, I'll cluck in at the usual time.

Maybe not to do but gas for the cleaners, if I get there, any.

What's, er, Keir, want to go in early for?

Search me.

Where did you pick him up last night?

At the club, I'd have done for one of my way home.

Had he been there all night?

I didn't ask.

So, er, you're going in mid-lake?

Yeah, playing cricket for the club.

In this weather?

I said I'd burrow some pads off Leswick.

You'll not be into dinner then.

Now I'll get something with the lads.

Look looking great, there's what you want.

Don't worry for me, thanks, I actually want yesterday.

How are you, er, I'll have to put tea like that.

You can't, er, play cricket on a cup of tea.

I told you, I'll get something with the lads.

Morning, Mum.

Morning?

Well, what do you want to get out of bed for?

I can see to them.

Let the dog see the rabbit.

What's going on in the world, Grandad?

Do you care?

I'll try to.

It's yes, it is this.

It's history now.

Career again.

Another war, Grandad.

I've had mine, thank God.

Could be young, love it next.

With these national servants coming up.

Is it right that she'll not believe in you or all that,

when she gets wed?

Oh, so your mother's been talking to you, has she?

No, why?

Well, she wants it.

She never liked this place, and she wants it.

So this would be empty.

If you moved it, would, if it's a big word, if.

What do you want a house for, any road?

See ya.

I knew a Blake was going off early.

What got Keir out of bed?

Oh, he's playing cricket after work.

He wanted to borrow some pens.

Oh, I forgot to tell ya.

He doesn't want any breakfast.

He said he had too much yesterday.

Going there for breakfast now, is he?

Where?

You know, we're married woman, husband in hospital.

I've never thought of it about Keir.

Do you think all this performance is for woman?

Mm.

Playing cricket.

Even goes to the trouble of coming downstairs with the bat in his end.

He's all to protect his mother.

It's him that's indeed a protection.

And knows what he's doing.

Don't you recognize shame when you see it?

Anyway, he's not leaving here without breakfast.

Wherever he's going.

What was all the racket last night?

You didn't hear all that much of it.

You were fast asleep when I got back to bed.

What was the meal sharing there?

We had a nightmare.

Gotcha.

He went to the bed.

You have to get rid of both mattresses when they're gone.

Don't tell Paola that.

She'll be embarrassed.

Why did she wet the bed too?

Don't be disgusted.

She has to take him in with her sometimes.

She looks after him as if he were her own.

Brakes, bastard.

Hey there, huh?

It was meant to.

I mean, he's saying what I heard.

Blake says it because he feels guilty.

Rums it down his own throat.

Maybe she'll have made rosin, become a Catholic.

Sounds if he needs a confessional.

Stop it.

What's Paola by the way?

See you have D, I suppose.

See what what?

Chur-Chur-Dentic-Ninder, whatever the call of the day.

Or maybe she's like you, undecided.

Undecided? When did I last miss Matt?

No, when you do go, who'd you go to please?

Me, a guard.

I suppose I'm going to please you.

Ren, that be pleasing, God?

No, because it won't please me.

So think of another one, hm?

Good morning.

Hello.

I'll get you breakfast for you.

No, I haven't get you.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Yeah.

Hey, me, no, no.

Good morning.

You all right?

Yeah.

Good morning.

You all right?

Yeah.

I'm sorry about your last night.

Apparently I'm capable of sleeping through earthquakes.

I didn't hear a thing.

You are too polite.

An English gentleman.

You should say what you think in your own home.

Govey?

Thank you.

At least mostly chicory.

I think you would like to know when we go.

If you don't want to ask.

I would, as a matter of fact.

There is a reason, sorry to ask.

Ask it to ask.

Oh, yeah?

Thank you.

Talk to Blake, perhaps, or I will.

No, I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I have already asked about work for me, but I do not hear yet.

I'm sure it will be work with the hands, but I'm not proud.

What can I do?

I will get.

I will get.

What did you ask about?

Because.

What effect do you want to do?

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

I will.

What effect is we are going to.

Actually, I will Petraeus it.

Sorry.

Oh, am I off to work Klad?

We will be glad of it then.

Don't forget to pick up your shoes.

Do I ever.

I have plenty of use of all.

And company-

Yes, but 222 years ago it was grand Dale.

20 years ago since I worked last

It is not the first thing all happened.

That's what it is.

You've done now but pick it that breakfast.

Ever since I gave it to you.

Get on with it.

Don't you like me looking at you?

You don't do you.

You shy aren't you?

I shy this cup of tea or you could have shown up.

I never thought I'd see you shy.

I will.

No you won't.

We're not at that stage yet.

What stage is that?

Browse.

No cum.

I'm as you wanted me.

Like you are facing facts.

Like Jack's under your feel.

You can see that now can you?

It wasn't that I couldn't see it.

I just couldn't see it straight.

Like Jack and you.

Not like that woman across the street sees it.

Me sneaking in within my hospital dying.

See you don't like it when it's put into words like that do you?

It wasn't that.

No.

You're going to get on with that breakfast.

My mother made me eat hers before I came out.

I couldn't tell her where I was coming could I?

Couldn't you?

She wouldn't understand.

She wants to see me settled, married.

I'm not strong with that.

I've no right to talk about that.

Don't you think about it then?

I haven't got the right. Not yet.

You'll be honest for me sometimes.

Just let me arrive at it at the ungood time.

There you go.

Steady as you go.

I said there you go.

There you go.

I brought you a customer.

Lovely, eh?

Blake, this is Charlie.

How do? How do?

One of her take a shrifty.

Yeah, round the back up with so.

You've lost weight.

Yeah, just like that.

Eight pounds, four ounces.

It's a big lad.

Yeah, the game with the report.

When's the wedding?

Two weeks.

There's an invite for you at all.

Hey, get your lucky hands out.

I'm seeing you mother this afternoon.

She's coming with me to support to help me choose my wedding outfit.

I'm taking the baby.

Oh, that would be good.

The baby on the one arm and a wedding dress and the other.

No, I'm in collar going to my mother's for the afternoon.

And the odd day going to door.

When Nelson gets his eye back.

Blake!

Who's master's voice?

What's this fox on there?

I came in this morning.

I like it.

I'll take it now.

What'll you give me if I leave me over?

Oh, I need to take a look.

I've not made it enough for you.

Is he on the phone?

Yeah.

Give him a ring.

Sort it out.

Give you what he asked me.

It's a nice looking motor, but beauty's skin deep, you know.

I need to give it a once over.

I don't sell much.

You can do that next week.

I've got to take the ladies out for the picnic after still going.

That's if this weather clears up.

I think mine's got a rat on me.

It was to me, old mother.

Rice!

I mean, back in about an hour.

See what you've got to say for yourself.

Palm notes.

Shouldn't you be in bed if you've been travelling all night?

I'm not tired.

Do you always do the gardening or dressing, Dan?

Oh, it smells good after the rain.

I can't wait to get out.

Makes such a change after being cooped up in the house all week.

There's long, dreary speeches.

There's a very high standard of debate in the house of Commons, my dear.

As you'll find out if we're ever fortunate enough to receive a visit from,

you say, didn't you feel sorry for me?

I envy you.

What?

Your life.

I suppose it's all beer and Skittles.

It's not bloody boring, is it?

Oh, dear.

All it is not hoped.

I lift a note for Blake at his yard of my way back from the station.

Oh.

You can guess what that means, can't you?

You'll give up your religion and marry him.

I'm 30 next year.

You're five years younger than I am now when you had me.

Then he needs a few more years to slip away and I'll have had it.

I don't think God wants that.

You know better than the church, do you? What God wants?

I thought you'd be on my side.

I am.

But I know what it takes to live outside it.

And you don't think I've got what it takes?

What I do know is you need to be sure.

And you are not.

I brought you something from Italy.

You're the maid.

No manage.

They were good to Jack when he were off.

We've got his full wages all the time in my own sake.

Now stop it, you'll make me cry.

Well, that's better than some.

That makes it right, does it?

Oh, you think it was entitled to Maudie?

Oh, right, you're a booger boat, you.

I've seen nothing you write. What do you write about?

This and that.

Politics, I suppose.

Not so you'd notice. Not in that way.

What time are you going to the hospital?

I'm still up.

I'll go straight on from work and see you when you get back.

All right.

They're not known there.

You'll know.

It's me who said that to you when he first went in.

I listened there, don't I?

See ya.

Tada.

I'm paying slow down, you must take care.

You're going away.

Back on Tuesday.

I don't leave until tonight, but I won't be coming back to the house.

Did you want me?

Yes.

Listen, put those in the car.

No one else?

Come on, leave.

I always like to take this view of the lake with me when I go away.

It's lovely.

I had the photograph of my desk in Washington all through the war.

Me, and best, and children, standing down there.

Mark Vastiff, not smiling.

Shadow of a cloud across the lake.

A war the light and shade.

Now what is it, my love?

Mark says we're leaving here.

Oh.

So he's told it already?

You knew.

Not from him.

And only that it was a possibility.

I didn't want to alarm you.

Because of that row you had.

Oh.

Is there what he says?

He says it's because he can't stand working with Roberts at the estate office.

In any case, I don't see why we can't stay on at the flat.

He's only going to work at the mine.

He is?

Didn't you know?

No, I didn't.

I assume from Richard it was something quite different.

Mr. Blaze?

Feeling better, are we?

Now we've seen you, we are.

If the Tories get in, assuming Labour goes for an election between now and next February,

they'll repeal the act.

If Labour gets back with, let me know change in the ownership of the capital.

Well, it's worrying about Mark flitting from job to job.

We're hell of a lot more secure than most jobs in private industry.

Well, it's Greg's health now is worrying about mostly.

Right, of course.

You're much more philosophical about the industry since we talk last.

I thought you had some good project in mind.

I had.

But, er, not now?

Well, you know I went to Germany a couple of weeks back.

Yeah.

They're expecting their output of steel to be somewhere in the region of 12 million metric tons this year.

That's 30% up on last year.

Our output will be done.

And there's one.

Right.

We're producing from ancient farms at high costs, whilst they're living with it like mad.

We hold back from investments simply so the Federation can preserve a seller's market.

That's why, is you?

The market will be there in any case, in my opinion.

We'll be nationalised unless there's a change of capital.

Well, if the Tories get back and repeal the act, what then?

I imagine they'll reconstitute the old firms as joint stock companies.

Sell the shares on the open market.

Then you'll be able to re-acquire this place.

Is that what you'd want?

This first.

Well, I must be off.

Nice talking to you, John.

Thanks for coming, Richard.

Put my mind at rest.

Question is, if Labour do go for an election, will they get back?

That's the good lady what she thinks her chances are.

Let me know what she says.

I will.

Oh no.

What did Richard want?

It's Mark.

Taking a job in the mine.

Oh.

I thought there was something else in the office.

I said it I'd.

It seems to have changed his mind.

He, uh, doesn't think much of your prospects are the next election.

He thinks the Tories may repeal the iron or steal act.

Oh, daddy.

Sorry.

You'll try and keep off yourself if you can't wait.

Maybe Richard ought to talk about Maxwell.

The union can be heard of the mines.

He says that Richard is cutting back investment to the point that saved this question.

I know, I find that hard to believe.

You always assume your own standards and other people, don't you, John.

For everything I've all about my youth.

Is that rather a belittling assumption on your plan?

Rose is that.

I wish you'd talk to a, John.

It seems determined to marry Blake.

I hope you'd drop through it, yes.

It won't work.

Oh, for a time it might, but not for a lifetime.

She couldn't cope with the guilt.

Can you?

You don't have to talk too much.

Are you managing?

And you're not to worry about all, either.

How long have I been in here?

Well, did the sister tell you?

Hi.

Oh, are you asking me, Father?

Well, I wouldn't believe anything anybody tells me but you.

You think he?

Hi.

He's been in to see you, but you weren't here.

Well, was that?

Well, I don't know where you go when we back to turn, do I?

Stop there, if I could.

Don't talk so deft.

I didn't trail all this way till I listened to Deaf talk.

Well, I like about it most, I'll give it most trouble, that.

It's straight.

A different way from you.

And there's all them nice curtains.

And that's pedestrian.

Beeping at him.

Very cool, class morality.

I'm the slightest idea what you're talking about.

We shall have you out of here soon.

I've got to fight you all the way.

Aye, but you'll lose.

You'll lose.

Can I see him tonight?

Ask him.

I think that's why we've been having tonight, first.

We're meeting so many new people in the country.

I want some girls there. I didn't get used to it in the lobby.

You don't know him as I do.

I don't have much opportunity to know him, do I?

You make no effort to teach him English.

A few words he knows he gets from pagan me.

So you teach him, yeah?

What time do I get?

For a son of a father makes time.

And when does he be told he's my son?

When?

You still think that your brother and hertal escaped to the west, don't you?

That you'll all live happily ever after in West Berlin or some such place?

If you won't tell him, I will.

Two hundred.

Three hundred.

Four, five, six hundred quid.

I'm not going to do his national service soon, is he?

It didn't worry about till the war started in Korea.

I hope he doesn't get sent out there.

I hope not.

I had a letter from Ernst last week.

It was sent on by a bloke who was in the camp here with him.

He's alive.

He was five years old.

The bloke that sent it was put in a concentration camp when they got back to Russia.

He said I'm not to hope that a lot of them have been shot.

As if he thought I was sat here waiting.

Jamie!

It's fine!

Let's go for a spin!

He only wanted that car because it's bigger than his brothers.

In cash, eh?

It's all cash these days, Dad.

Every time Crip slaps us down, Book Springs the Charlie's.

You know what Churchill said about Crip, don't you?

There, but for the grace of God, go to Russia.

You tell him jokes against your own side.

It used to be your side once.

You can tell jokes against your own side.

If you know which side you're on, but you don't, will you?

Why don't you give up this business of being on your own, get yourself a decent, steady job?

Well, a wife, house, family?

Or a mate of mine in the army used to call the old bloody catastrophe.

You've got a son, get him a mother.

He's got one in East Germany.

I doubt if she'll ever get out.

Stalin's building a wall around himself.

Are you going to be able to get power, or a job?

I'll keep trying, the prospects aren't good.

You know why, as well as I do.

Did, uh, Ciers say what time he'd be home when you dropped him?

Nope.

Never know where the hell he is these days.

At least we know, but we're not supposed to know.

I don't say you know at all.

How does mom feel about it?

She'll not be contented until she sees her both wed.

She can't see marriage at the end of this thing of Ciers.

She thought she could with you and Roswarringdon.

Chatter their dreams, did I?

Oh, it could never make up our minds.

Who'd back down you or Ros?

Or was there someone else?

Oh, there was someone else.

Oh, there was someone else.

Do you want a cup? I may eat some tea.

Hello there.

Did you sleep?

No.

I never can during the day.

Never works for me, whatever it is.

Oh, you'll be afraid of not hearing the door at court.

Has he been?

No.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Please.

Sorry.

Even if I said, did you say you were ready to marry him?

I just thought I wanted to talk.

So you haven't exactly burned your boots, then?

Not exactly.

What are you expecting, Ros?

I don't think I'm expecting anything.

Really?

I'm vaguely hoping for some sort of a miracle, maybe.

I don't know if you're expecting since the war.

I expected everything to go back to what we used to call normal when it was over.

And it didn't, did it?

What do you call normal?

Knowing...

Knowing where you're placed in the scheme of things.

What's expected of you?

What do you get away with and what you can't?

You know how it was.

I know what my place was.

Yes, and you didn't like it, but I did.

Lake Aewood.

Would not have fitted into that scheme of things.

But there'd have been someone, a Catholic like me, someone of my own class.

I saw your father today.

I told him you were back.

I sent him a card from Paris. Is he coming?

Oh, he has to go away for a couple of days.

No.

Oh, well.

Oh, well.

Wow, I'll give him.

Oh, well.

Oh, well.

Oh, well.

Oh, well.

Where's your vacation?

Come on.

Hello.

Hello.

Your father rang me. Said you were back.

That new rig you told me to get for my boat.

It doesn't work for me at all. I think you'd better come and see it, don't you?

I'm expecting someone.

You may or may not come.

Oh, well, you're not to do it by people who can't make up their minds, don't you?

Get your gear, huh?

Get your gear.

Get your gear.

I'm the person who wants to reach out and we're going to get that.

Ta-da!

Come on up.

Oh, yes, Sunday.

No, steady across the line.

There we go.

That's it.

Oh, there's a chance you should have tried Sunday.

Good grief.

Getting to me nothing special now, riding a motor car.

Treated up a lifetime before it was.

Yeah. See ya.

Hey, you must have a tidy bit put by.

All the, um, overtime you've done.

Why don't you buy yourself one?

Get me self-tied to the system.

I like to travel with what I can carry on two legs.

Still traveling gear.

Aye.

Hello.

Oh, turn your head like you were when I came in.

And my shutter.

Of course I'm asking you to.

I'm supposed to take orders now, mama.

Yes.

All right, like this.

Hmm.

And do I close my eyes?

It'll be my Earth and see what God says.

Yeah.

OK.

What's the light about?

That's a good glass.

Is that a cross from me in a classroom 20 or years ago looking out of the window?

What did you see out of that window?

No.

Ben Chihitam is faster at number 10.

I've got 11 this street, you know.

This is really tough.

Just see if I can carry you.

I've got two perfectly good legs in my own, thanks.

Aye, well, I'm done with traveling anyway.

I'm not surprised.

All that flying.

What was it like?

Well, it gives one an outlook on life.

It's like an over-target dropping bombs.

They can't understand to them why I'm not married.

Who worries them?

I've really never seen much pointing marriage if you don't want kids.

I don't, yeah.

Jack had his reasons for not wanting him, didn't he?

Aye, but there were his.

I don't have to be yours.

It all boils down to a world fit for people to live in.

Not just a place that you patch up,

because you're back to being lucky enough to live in it anyway.

Jack, any worse?

You were full of yourself when you came in.

How's it all going?

Up in an aeroplane, how is he?

Sitting up.

Sitting up and taking notice, I say, don't they?

I want to see you tonight.

I suppose father's been getting at you.

He wouldn't understand someone like Richard.

No, he likes him enormously.

Oh, so it's you then?

Oh, I don't dislike him.

He's part, well, part of the world your sister's so nostalgic about that pre-war world,

who we all knew are places.

He'd like to undo everything the athlete government's done and put the clock back,

the old status quo.

You're dead wrong, mother.

All he talks about is the future.

Yeah, it's a long succession of Torriga.

Oh, well, when politics had come into...

Well, of course, politics comes in...

Why don't you see what they've got to do with my taking this job?

Anyway, it's all settled.

And leaving here?

That's settled too.

And this is a tide cottage, so far as I'm concerned, it goes with the job.

I want a place of my own.

I'm sorry, but I'm just not prepared to argue the point.

What are you smiling at?

You being positive.

Oh, he's had quite an influence on you, hasn't he?

Don't you think it's time I did something positive? You did.

Yes, but the question is, was I right?

It isn't sufficient in life to be positive. You have to know.

Have you told him?

No!

Well, after all, that was your idea.

And then leaving at this stage in the pregnancy, aren't you worried about Pig's heart?

Of course, I'm worried.

Tell me what?

No.

Pig wants Palette to stay on here when you've gone.

All right.

I don't suppose father would object to that.

No, he doesn't. I asked him.

There might be a job at the house for a two when Mrs. Marshall leaves.

I will stay here, you know.

If you're absolutely desperate about it, I will.

Oh, sorry.

Hello.

Mark, come and help us move Richard's damn boat. Will you?

Someone's pulled it up too far.

Richard, not strong enough?

Apparently not.

It won't be long.

Well?

Oh, he's completely sold on it, isn't he?

Yes.

There's a black bean here, by the way.

No, he doesn't come here all that often these days.

Oh, I just wondered.

Well, I think I'll go into the garden and read those.

What?

Constituentists let us.

I shall go and read them where I used to read one of my books years ago.

Feeling nostalgic?

Perhaps.

Well, there's something else I wanted to say to him about Richard.

Would have been hurtful to him, so I'll say it to you.

You know him as well as I do in your far tougher than he is.

If you wanted a young, dynamic manager, qualified, positive, hard,

would Mark be your choice?

I'll think about that one.

By the way, Grandad's going to let us know what you want.

I'll say it to you.

I'll say it to you.

I'll say it to you.

I'll say it to you.

By the way, Grandad's going to let us have his house when you move.

Oh, I thought he'd come round in the end.

It's not a bad street. The neighbours are nice.

I've never had neighbours.

Didn't seem to matter at the old house.

We know what I thought when that old house burned down.

What?

What Owen told us when he came back from that Jap UW camp.

How he used to lay awake remembering the pattern on the wallpaper in that room we had.

Oh, yes.

All those letters of his that went up in the fire.

Everything went in that fire.

Giving me up for good, had you?

Of course not.

They work at it, don't they?

Keeping you alive.

It's their job.

Yeah.

It's their job.

I'm glad she's got you.

I'm not much use.

I was glad when they opened my eyes and saw some coming in.

He saw some coming in that window.

The young nurses having gibble that color there.

It's a while before it dawns on is it still out there?

All the old rubbish in life?

Well, have a day out when you're back on your feet like we did before.

Hi.

Hi, it's a good day, huh?

You can never let me go, you know.

I know that.

I wanted to.

Then I go, I don't.

Are you with me?

Hi.

So, she's got you now.

Me?

Somebody to turn to.

I'll be left on her own.

So, what I wanted you to understand.

She'll want to work with you before we go.

I can't put it any cleaner than that.

If she wants me, I'll be there.

If there's nobody else, I'll be there.

You're looking at all the strange things.

The Mr. Smith and me came in.

I know I was glad about your news.

A flat out of the job.

I should earn money.

I should be free.

You're not terrible, I'm money free.

Terrible.

I told him.

You've come to teach him more English words.

I'll follow you into the house.

Come, maybe.

Okay.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

Where's Rosie?

She's out there somewhere, sailing.

You know about this?

You know there'll be a disaster too, don't you?

In the end.

He competes in a different class to me.

Richard?

Richard?

He's out in the booth with her now.

Ros, Richard and God.

Richard's Catholic, of course.

Of sorts.

What does that mean?

He's the sort that goes by the book.

Follows the ritual.

Three cheers for Richard.

Award didn't change the basics of life, Rosie.

You only need to get back.

Safe grand from the playground.

Make a sweet note.

Safe grand from the playground.

Make a sweet note.

Nothing's really changed.

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

He asked me if I'd given him up for dead.

And in the back of me mind, I had.

I could never have let it happen in this house.

Not if I'd thought that he was coming back to it.

It's what he wanted to happen.

He knew it is.

Yes, I do, I know that.

It's what he said about you, isn't it?

Working-class morality, he said.

Oh, what's wrong with that?

Well, it's two streets away from me and Jack.

What's working-class without work?

It's what we are.

Right, there's bottom of the stinking pile we are.

Even the rest of the street looks down on us.

That's working-class morality.

Oh, it's grained in me.

It was alright when he was dying, though, wasn't it?

When you thought he was.

You can't shame me any more than a show.

Oh, my God, shame!

And that makes me shameless, I suppose.

What is it?

Well, where is he? What your mother will think to it?

Is that what stopped you thinking straight?

I dream about cheating with Jack.

Oh, Charlie, not like the game.

No, alright, then tell me, say what.

Give us a song.

Be careful. If you ask me again, I will.

Oh, come on, give us a song now.

Oh, and she's a lovely singer.

Let me see if you know this.

I'm discontented with homes that are rented,

so I have invented my own.

Not a clue, not a clue.

Oh, see, to hide in, to live side by side in,

don't let it abide in my dreams.

Oh, yes.

Dada, dada, dada,

picture you upon my knee,

just leave for two,

and two for tea,

me for you,

and you for me alone.

Tilly, I love, tilly, I didn't live in Lita.

So see us, hear us,

no friends or relations

on weekend vacation.

On weekend vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

We can't live in vacation.

Tilly!

You're waiting for the sun to go, Dan.

The sun said to better these days, is he?

There he, er,

dust up there.

From the atomic bomb.

What's Blake working off?

Better ask him.

He's not going to die.

He's not going to die.

He's not going to die.

Better ask him.

I shall have another crack at London.

Your mother will lay awake at night?

Not you though.

It's a peg I worry about.

Safe job and a pension is what we used to strive for.

Now they're one of the stars.

There's no contentment anymore.

Nobody knows their place.

Things have changed in.

A bit different well for those who have been here.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

A bit different well for those two lents.

Ah, and if they get what they want and they don't have to scratch no more, what then?

What then, ma'am?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

This is a story of a

cumbrian ironworks and of

two families, the onus,

the wealthy Catholic

Warringtons, and the

Haywoods working class

dependent on the works

for a living.

When their old home burnt

down, the Haywoods moved

to a smaller bleaker house

where Helen can never

feel at home.

Grandad is aging fast

and the family is breaking

up.

But across the differences

of class and religion,

the marriage of Peg

Haywood and Mark

Warrington flourishes, and

despite her weak heart,

Peg hankers for a baby.

Her brother Blake has had

an affair with Roswarrington,

an affair haunted by her

guilt about her religion,

and by his memory of the

German girl, Heter, who

he met and lost at the end

of the war.

Heter has now born him a

son, a son he has never

seen.

The other brother, Kia,

visiting a sick workmate,

Jack Blaze, finds himself

involved with Jack's wife,

Martha, but cannot face his

own feelings.

John Wattington's iron works

are threatened with

nationalization, and at the

same time is a strange wife,

Beth, wins a local by-election

as a labor candidate.

This makes the break

between them final.

His cousin Richard, owner

of the nearby iron mines,

starts to take an interest

in the iron works, and in

Ros.

Blake is in danger of

losing Ros, and with his

garage business not doing well,

has another shock when his son,

a mill, arrived in which

Stanton from Germany.

But it is not the boy's mother

who brings him.

It is a sister-in-law,

the beautiful German girl,

Paula.

Jean Haywood,

defiantly facing unhappiness

after her husband Owen's

death, is beginning to find

peace with a new man, Charlie,

and with a baby.

But Charlie snaps to the

car from Blake's garage

before Blake can check it.

The steering is loose.

Jean, Charlie and Helen

will not return from their

picnic.

Peg, however,

defying all warnings about

her heart condition, is

determined that new life

shall come to the two families.

The

whole world is

determined that new life

shall come to the

one world.

The

whole world is

determined that new life

shall come to the

one world.

The whole world is

determined that new life

shall come to the

one world.

The whole world is

determined that new life

shall come to the

one world.

The whole world is

determined that new life

shall come to the

one world.

The whole world is

determined that new life

shall come to the

one world.

Someone's been taken ill.

Yes, George Haywood, sir.

You've been sent to tell you

it's cold out here.

Oh rubbish.

Mark's an old warrior.

Can you blame him the way you

drag him along my stony path?

Do I?

I'm not supposed to belong

before you're telling him

you're pregnant again.

I hope not.

Bought this one out to see the birds.

I'm not supposed to

be a little bit scared.

I'm not supposed to be a little

bit scared.

I'm not supposed to be a little

bit scared.

I'm not supposed to be a little

bit scared.

I'm not supposed to be a little

bit scared?

No, no, no.

Just imagine these capable

generation who got such a

Electrical

onboard.

The first baby.

Yes, when her mother was killed.

It's the only time I've seen her so close to defeat.

Yet there she is, the latest Warrington in her arms.

Now she must love life.

Don't you?

Very rarely.

You don't much like it if the mind's

stayed off as do you?

Well, it's the only job I really qualified to do.

You didn't answer the question.

I'm not complaining.

Look, I don't want you to think you'll be there forever, Mark.

I have a good reason for wanting you to stay on the property side.

I can't go into it now, but well, let's say that I'm just

sitting quietly on the bank at the moment,

paddling my feet in the post-war stream.

You know, the people in the office

don't say much when I'm around.

Well, they know we're related, of course.

They're damn surprised that you decided to stay on

after nationalization.

So is I, as a matter of fact.

Perhaps I was too.

Your father stayed on it.

The iron works.

Will he stayed on the board?

Oh, and father won't ever move.

He can spend more time on the estate now.

You've invested his compensation wisely and carefully.

You know what he's like.

What is he doing?

In the garden with Ross.

Reggie, think he's having a pint at the local boozer.

What should we come in?

Oh, stop, Fosse.

Can you find me a case I want to pack tonight?

Oh, yes.

I think I left them in the box room when we first moved you.

I'll see what I can find.

So where about are you going?

Oh, just for a week on the South Wales coast.

Some friends of ours have taken a cottage.

Well, Peg, I like what you're doing with the house,

your ideas, or marks?

No, it's all democratically discussed.

Where are you and Ross going to live?

You're assuming marriage, I take it?

Isn't it time you proposed?

Well, a Catholic's peg.

When it's for life, you have to be that much more certain,

don't you?

I never thought Blake was right for a, you know,

even though he isn't a brother.

They're a very forthright creature, aren't you?

Is that what you're waiting for?

To be sure it's over between her and Blake?

Fourth right and perceptive, too.

Rosie?

Blake.

Peg in the house.

Yes.

Blake, something wrong?

Dad's been taken to the hospital.

They said I could see you for a moment.

Oh, hello.

Anything I can do, George?

Oh, yes.

You could let Blake know where I am.

Well, I've seen to that already.

Oh, and I don't want this to interfere with Peg's holiday.

She needs the rest.

Well, she was completely recovered from having her in.

Bit of a medical, really.

Yeah.

Well, it's a summit to do with Miss Stomach.

Well, it's been playing me up ever since Ellen and Jean were killed.

And then Peg losing a first baby and then Dad dying.

At least he did it peacefully.

They say troubles never come singly, don't they?

That's what they say.

And Blake's let things go at the yard, too.

The house has been getting him down, I think.

Just the two of us men trying to do woman's work.

Well, I never had a cope with that.

Just the loneliness being on my own.

It's the worst day.

What's that for?

I said, that's the worst.

Oh, yes.

It's better now since Paula came.

And Blake's boy running about the house.

How does an intelligent woman, she's become more of a companion, really.

Is she converted you to socialism yet?

Not yet.

She'll be trying, though.

From time to time.

Perhaps I'd better go.

I'm making you talk too much.

No!

There's no better medicine than a friendly conversation.

No.

We should have got together more often, George.

We'd ever excuse after Martin, I'd pay.

Oh, as it all most nights.

So is I.

I didn't think it would be coming visit.

I felt the same myself.

They've gone.

We don't have to wait, do we?

No.

It's not the latch when we go.

Oh, such a nice little house.

Thought you didn't like little houses?

I don't usually, but this one feels good.

It's them.

Yes, I think you're probably right.

Mark won't steal, maybe.

When he met with Higg, it was love at first sight.

I believe him.

You can feel it in this room.

What's going on?

Yes, I am, be Mark.

You?

Surprised, why?

I expected you to see it as a lack of maturity.

What I do in a way does hold him back.

They're not peg, I think.

Then what do you envy?

Intrigued.

Yes, I am.

And I'm not going to tell you.

It's not a weapon you need.

Boys intrigued me.

Unhappy childhood and that big house of your father's.

Can you like big houses?

Go on.

You're secure.

More private and bald in than anyone I know.

And yet you're not secure enough to ask me to marry you.

Until you're absolutely certain, I'll say yes.

Do you mind it, this waiting?

No.

I want that kind of certainty too.

I thought I had it once with my wife.

Probably have kept it.

She lived.

You know, I said to Mark just now in this room about peg,

how she must love life.

Don't you?

Really, I said.

Very rarely.

Sit yourselves down.

So from the garden.

Yes, Lester, the autumn show.

Well, at least it isn't a reef.

There's no wrong with them really, you know.

I'm just after a bit of sympathy.

How do we know without her?

Hey, she's got to go on that holiday tomorrow.

I'm not having her stopping at home because of me.

I should do as I lie.

I'm talking to the master of the house, aren't you?

Well, I shall go tomorrow, but only because I know you'll nug me if I don't.

I'll get some water for the youth.

She, uh, she feels she's neglected you.

Oh, peg?

I'm not being to see you often enough.

She's got her own life to live.

It's not that we go anywhere else.

We just like being at home, that's all.

Yeah, I was always old and burned myself.

Listen, she's not to go up to the house when she gets back off holiday,

not if I'm still in here.

And if you can't stop her, make sure you see Blake first.

Well, we've, uh, let it get a bit run down.

Most you don't need worry about us.

Oh, so that's why you kept us talking in the garden the last time we came.

Okay. That was it.

Mrs. Worrington?

Yes.

You, uh, you don't want me to be.

No, I'm sorry.

Uh, me and, uh, Jack were a friend of Keir.

And Martha, Martha was.

Oh, yes.

Vanessa says you're dad too.

Yes, but she's a person.

I don't think it's too serious.

Oh.

I'm glad about that.

Um, I used to chat to him when he came in the club.

Oh, I'm not telling you. I asked about him.

Yeah, she would.

I bet me I'll be.

Jack's at the 100th of the year.

Charlie, bye.

Mrs. Blaze?

You might like to know.

Blake sent for Keir.

He's coming home tomorrow.

OK, all right.

oured our house.

Hello.

Keir

It's going home.

Yeah Dad's been taken ill.

I heard in the phone before I left the house.

He was organising my surgery this weekend.

Sounds like he's in for some surgery himself.

It's no use crying is it?

What are you doing sitting with the rank and file?

I always travel third class.

You shouldn't.

You should be up there putting the boot in and the enemy lines converting the bastards.

You think they're open to conversion?

No.

But at least you could say you tried.

Well I read your article in Tribune.

No I should say which one to prove I'm regular.

The last three issues anyway.

Did it surprise you seeing my name on it?

No.

Mmm.

Surprises most people.

They say what a surprise seeing your name on a thing like that.

What they mean is what's an uncouth devil like me with a rough northern accent think he's

up to writing in an intellectual magazine.

I mean articulate left wing is that at least we've been to public school to excuse the

cheek when we grammar all right.

Well I do have a problem with it.

I can usually get it right on the page so when I open them up they put my foot in it.

I expect you've noticed.

Mmm hmm.

What a photo of Peg.

Marvellous isn't it?

Does she look well?

Does she look great?

Oh dear it's all going on and missing it all.

Boom sick.

I was a little vanish a mile at a time.

If we send Emile to school.

There'll be a bigger some more time to your situation.

My situation?

There uncertainty.

Not knowing whether you'll be able to go back to Germany.

Planning a future for yourself in case you can't.

This school it will cost money.

Oh that's beside the point.

But why should you do it?

Service reasons.

I'm trying to plan my future too.

My family don't greatly need me.

It's a world I can't go back to.

It's a world that includes this house.

But you love this house.

Well I love my family but I've lost them.

I've always tried to face the reality of life.

And you see guide ohs.

But it's not easy for a horrible life time.

Like starting afresh.

Since the war ended every now and again I've

felt like an alien in my own land.

We're not on our like and our predicament.

It's your die.

Zimul you ask Blake for me.

His permission.

I am afraid if I ask you will not agree.

Yes if you want me to.

He does not like me very much I think.

I was hoping to catch you but fear you might be in London.

I got back half an hour ago.

I'm just my way to a meeting.

Don't you get tired of all these meetings?

No they keep me alive.

It's London that ties me.

Do you know we're wheeling them into the house in Bath,

cheers to vote because we've only got a majority of six?

Well you weren't too damned tired to nationalize my industry.

Do you know I can't remember more than two or three times

in all these years you've spoken to me with real anger?

You're free of me aren't you?

Free?

Ever since the war I.

I've had the impression you hoped we'd get together again.

That's no longer true is it?

Is it?

I feel it.

You always feel better when somebody's worried about you.

You got that stomach since mom dad.

You're right.

I can't.

It's not that bad.

I can't do that.

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'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Mom dad.

I've had this stomach since the day I was born to the rest of my knowledge.

Listen I want to ask you something.

What are you going to do with your share of what your granddaughter left?

Well to sell his house first.

And what then?

Well give care of his aunt and put mine into the business.

You're going to have to ask here first.

One of you might need that house if you ever decide to get wed.

And it would make home for that lad of yours like you've always had.

His home's with his mother in Germany if she gets free.

His home's with her to Rembrandt.

We'll never get free from the East.

You try telling her to power Rembrandt?

You uh, seem John Warrington lately.

No I don't go up there myself.

You've given up the ghost?

Do you know dad?

That's what they are.

Ghosts from the war.

Herta Emile Brandt.

There's another one too.

Me and uniform.

Office of class.

Full of ideas of what I was going to do when it was all over.

Your own boss?

You make a living out of doing up those cars of yours?

What more do you want?

Of life dad.

You're a liar.

Somebody been talking about me, haven't you?

I needn't bother to answer.

I know what's said.

I'm not going to waste the bread for arguing about it.

I don't know what is seizing you.

You're a big part of his life that's not to do with me.

You can stop away from all I care.

Just leave me alone.

I'm not going to waste the bread for arguing about it.

I don't know what is seizing you.

You're a part of his life that's not to do with me.

You can stop away from all I care just as long as he knows where he stands.

You don't have no interest to me.

People like you.

You just like telling other people how to behave.

Well put your money where your mouth is here.

It's up to you.

Thank you.

Hello, Martha.

Oh, hello.

Say.

Hi.

Ah, sorry.

It's this day.

It says your dad's in.

Yeah, he'll be okay.

You waiting for somebody?

No.

I'm just waiting to stand for the bus.

Oh, I've a car outside. Can I give a lift?

Never say no to it.

I don't understand how you knew about it.

I didn't tell anyone.

Do something you said on the way here today.

Oh.

Whatever could it have been?

You said I quite liked America.

Watching your the Federation meeting just now.

You were the only one there who didn't speak and I suddenly thought he's not with us.

He's not here.

Was it so obvious?

The point is, can I have first refusal?

Well, I may not go through with it, do I understand?

I think it will.

It's possible.

I suppose one can't go on a desperately attending meeting.

So, which one is an actually there?

Excuse me, Sake. I've just got to see to meet buckets.

Still, I was another pint too.

We've got two bad lakes and all that rain.

I see it was in the army.

Oh, that was my brother that was killed on D-Day.

Jack was in the Navy. What was it you wanted?

A bit of wire that kind of bends and stays bent if you know what I mean.

I don't, but I love a look.

Come in. Jack, you skipped stuff like that up here.

Can't you doubt in cows?

They all tied up with me.

Can't you doubt in cows?

They all tied up with bits of wire.

They are for now when they get them.

Close this door.

I love it you once for calling it a dump.

Mine ain't come near, was it?

Nationalised this year?

Stay tuned, isn't it now?

What if you told me?

What makes you think you've had a right to be told?

I think you're fine.

I was hitting it then, not you.

What's your risk?

18 bummer week.

We'd be glad to pay for all we ate this street.

There'd be dozens down from the con guy, if it ever came up for rent.

The con guy?

Well, I had the atomic energy site up the coast.

Where is this sky either way?

No way.

Still work at the club?

No.

I've got to cross-visiting time.

I'm going to let them start later.

What, just the money?

I've got my out.

It's rotten this place without him.

Is that any good?

That's just what you're doing.

No, we shot an open guard, oh.

Anything you want me to tell Keir?

No, I don't think so.

What did you tell me about me?

Nothing.

Dad told me as much as I know, which is much.

He was always scared of his mother finding out.

She would be in marriage.

She knew.

She wasn't the type to make a song in dense about her.

I bet she wished me far enough, even so.

Probably.

Is your husband there?

It was his idea, anyway.

Keir was his mate at the ironworks, somebody who could leave him there.

She actually was there.

Well, I'm not the way you mean.

I shot Keir.

He tried to cope with it when he thought Jack was dying, but he got too much from the...

...he got too much from the...

...he was a little bit scared.

He got too much from the...

Keir's a pure lieutenant.

Not you, though, eh?

Nope, not me.

I'll be back at my garage in a couple of hours.

Come and see me.

What's up?

Come and see me.

Come and see me.

Look. He shows you how he works.

He's a good little German. He's a grifter.

Do you like it here?

You're happy.

I'm happy.

I'm happy.

I'm happy.

I'm happy.

I'm happy.

I'm happy.

I'm happy.

I'm happy.

Do you like it here? You're happy.

I have work.

I have a place to live.

Should I expect to be happy as well?

His English doesn't get much better.

Does it matter when you don't come to speak with him?

You complain?

Since I told him you were his father, he never stops talking about you.

As you told me to.

Yeah, well, I was wrong.

I mean, a kid needs something steady in his life.

Stability. Like this place.

I know it's been a long time since I asked you about her, to run brand.

It's not that I don't care.

I know why you don't ask.

How long is it going to be before we both agree we're never going to see them again?

I like to know where I'm going, whether the kids are going to stay with you or come to me.

You don't want him anymore.

You don't want him, but you will not see it.

Yeah, I've worked to do.

I've done my rounds.

Me duties.

I visited the sick, the unhappy, for Seiko.

Say goodbye to him for me.

I thought you had a meeting.

We had.

We had to call it off.

We didn't have a quorum.

Harvey Faithful losing their enthusiasm.

Friesing if they are with all the dissension in the cabinet.

Who said there's dissension in the cabinet?

You did.

Trust a couple of rabid Tories like you two to pounce all that.

You should exercise more discretion.

You better did resign.

Against putting charges on dentures and specs.

And Wilson.

And John Freeman.

I wish Daddy was here.

I brought that up to the surface.

Us arguing like a family over the washing up.

Well, in the first place, we never discussed politics.

In the second place, the staff did the washing up.

Well, we should have.

Both.

In that case, it would have been three to one.

He's reached the door, right?

Oh, yes, he's happy with that book.

It's not very polite, is it?

I'd better go and check to him.

Look, Sergeant.

Anything involving Daddy.

Why?

You just can't put the clock back, Ross.

That's all.

Just take the thought of him up at Lake House on his own.

Well, we're being happy down here.

I'm glad to hear you're happy, isn't it?

I know, fine.

Yes, I know what you mean.

Then what?

You just can't put the clock back, right?

It wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for the war, would it?

No, I don't suppose it was.

I don't think it was the war out of the middle edge.

The wife of a very nice man.

Well, in the war, mess your life up, too.

Probably have messed my life up anyway.

You're going to marry Richard.

I'll think about it.

If he asks me.

He hasn't?

No.

If he does, then you say you will.

It won't be just because he's a Catholic and there aren't all the other complications, will you?

I thought you wanted me to marry a Catholic.

Ross, I think you'd better get your coat.

I take it we're going somewhere.

We are.

Then I'd better do as I'm told.

When's the next election, Beth?

Maybe sooner than you think.

Can't come soon enough for me. I want my own minds back.

So that you can keep a seller's market?

Set your own price.

The price of supply and demand.

The Korean war, Beth.

Now that we're rearming, the demand goes up and the price goes up regardless of nationalisation.

I thought you were going to get out.

Regardless of nationalisation.

I thought you had your eye on some more profitable fear.

What changed your mind?

Germany.

Now that we're going to let the Germans rearm, maybe they'll be on our side next.

Against who? Russia perhaps?

You can contemplate the prospect of another war.

When your wife and the children were killed by German bombs.

I contemplate reality, Beth.

Your socialist theories don't relate to what I see.

Well, they'd better.

There's not much hope for the word and the kind of jango you seem to accept.

Come on, Beth. We mustn't quarrel, you and I.

Mustn't we?

Why not?

I don't know. They let you in outside visiting us.

They give you a chair now, they give you a cup of tea.

I told them I'd come all the way from London.

And then I met, what's the name?

Oh, yeah, she's a sister in women's world.

She sought me out after she did your thing in the wireless.

She said she was glad you were getting on, but she didn't like it.

Thanks for writing to me after it.

I know you're not much on letters, but I like knowing what you think.

Your man would have been proud of it.

Granddad would have loved it.

You can't please everyone.

Have you been up to the house?

I.

Did Blake get back before you left?

No.

Is it still off between him and Ross Warrington?

As far as I know.

Who's he taking up with now?

Nobody judging by his mood.

Is he hard to live with?

He's bad about it.

He's bad about it.

You'll not get to fighting you too while I'm not there.

I'll not be there long enough.

Do you like it down there?

No.

I always knew you'd be the one to go away.

University for you, I thought.

Then a doctor, that's what your man wanted.

A doctor?

Who are you adding in?

Pashed every exam you took.

I looked to being called up while you didn't take your deferment.

I'll never know.

There was a war on.

They could already gone. I didn't see why I should be left out.

The japs taking away made it very personal.

You could come back if you wanted to. You could.

I don't fit in.

Anyway, grieved you, didn't it?

Seeing me working as a laborer at the ironworks.

Only because I'd seen you.

In that room of yours, in the old house, night after night or after hour, laboring with your mind.

It was Blake's future, the ironworks, not yours.

You're doing well now.

You wouldn't want to come back to this dead old.

Hi. I'm doing well.

It's a man's world, this. What would I do here?

You said you wanted a job.

You haven't got a job. You're just trying to make one up.

What's Kieger look to do with this?

Kieger.

To be like him, to try and see me all right.

Oh, his conscience.

It was conscience that took him off. He's great on conscience.

He lives in another world.

I'll come back to this one. Now he's making his way down there.

I like to think on the wireless.

Yeah. Not many did round here.

No one really left the place. If that's always easier.

So I sit.

But what you said, he lived in another world.

He does. Like Jack.

They think they can make this one better through politics.

They think they can make this one better through politics.

What, says he got it off his dad? How about you?

Yeah, when I was a lad, and I believed it. I've been through a war since then.

Oh, sorry, Kieger.

It was up in the air, it was war. Not in the ground where the damages don't.

A brook green boy was out here.

I'm jealous of you.

Jealous? What of?

I thought there was supposed to be the glamour boys at the wrap.

It was always the glamour boy, Kieger.

Anyway, thanks for offering me a job, you've not got...

What did you want, really?

Hey?

You remind me of what I was once.

And what was that?

No one would have stood. Mechanica, the Ironworks. No big ideas about life.

Oh, call this Maurice Motors.

Was that the idea?

Something like that.

What went wrong?

Started after my mum was killed.

In a car that had sold for me.

I'd not been over it, but he wanted it right away so he took it.

It's not your fault there.

But I couldn't stand the place for weeks after that.

The books got behind. My paperwork.

And bloody red tape you have to live with these days.

I've not been coming in regular for weeks now.

The books you said.

Yeah, I'm hopeless with the books.

I used to do books, stand at making's during the war.

I'll be at nine o'clock tomorrow.

If you're not here, I'll go. I don't tell the fuck we don't turn up on time.

I need to try.

I'm going to leave you alone.

I'm going to leave you alone.

I need to try.

I need to wait for you.

So I won't tell him that you came.

I will probably see him tomorrow.

Will you excuse me just a moment for this? Something I'd like to look at.

You like the work here?

Yes.

Yes, I like it.

Wouldn't you rather be in Germany?

Sorry, that's stupid. Of course you would.

There's no one there for me now.

But my brothers are in. They say he's dead.

They wish me to believe that he's dead.

Do you believe it?

I try not to.

Sometimes I do.

Then there's the boys' mother, but I haven't heard.

And this father doesn't want him.

Please.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Will you excuse me? It's very cold.

Yes, of course.

I will tell him that you were here.

I love this house.

Most people have a special feeling about the houses they spent their childhood in.

You hate yours?

Yes, well, there you are. My special feelings hate.

A result of a hateful childhood.

Sorry, Daddy, wasn't at home.

That's all right. I didn't especially want to see him.

What did you want to look at?

The garden. The view.

It's a wonderful view.

Makes me even happier at buying the place.

This place?

Of course.

I'm sorry.

How's Jack?

It's same.

Will you go and see him while you're here?

No.

I didn't tell him about you and me.

He thinks you went to get away from temptation.

Not because you give me into it.

I'm glad he thinks that.

Are you?

No.

Why did you come?

Would you rather I hadn't?

It's harder for me.

Oh.

Well, what you feel is in your head.

Is it?

Like that thing you had on the wireless.

You write it all down and it's there.

I can't live like you do.

I've got to take what I can get while it's there.

Then it's over, it's over.

You haven't thought of me then.

Your brother was here.

Blake.

I gave you a love back from visiting.

He was offered me a job in his yard.

It's his education, I was thinking.

I don't see it's any of your concern.

It's not really.

You're his father.

And I should start acting like one.

Is that what you mean?

It's not easy, I know that.

But there's mother in Germany on the wrong side of the barriers.

Not to be removed in our lifetime, perhaps.

It's not easy for Pado to accept that.

To, um, to hand the boy over to you.

That's what you want.

Well, things are bad at the yard.

I mean, what can I offer him when I can see no future for me?

Well, things aren't too good in my yard either.

Not the same sense I know.

Only that the foundations of the life I knew seem to be shaking rather violently at the moment.

There's a school, rather a good one, where he could make a start with his English.

I'd like your permission to send him there.

I can't say no to that, can I?

And will you hope to be reelected when the next elections have?

Hmm?

I'd be lost if I weren't.

He told my life now.

Well, it's a pretty safe seat.

There'd have to be a hell of a swing to the Tories.

What makes you think there's going to be an election?

Oh, come on.

Adley can't hang on much longer without majority.

Mind you, I...

I don't blame him for trying.

The government's damned unpopular now.

All that mess up was a dag in Persia.

Kicking out the Anglo-Reed and stuff.

I don't say you'd rather we sent a gunboat into Abaddon.

Yes, he would.

We have to find a new place in the world. Forget the imperial past.

I mean, there's clause four in the Union Block vote.

Things we have to listen to to keep faith with Peggen look after you.

They've been well as by now.

Miss them.

It's just like you in politics, they're all my life.

I hope you take Owen to see your father sometimes.

Well, Pegg does. Why?

I wonder if they'll do you need it to ask why.

Well, it's hardly short on love and affection, is it?

Young Emile calls him Popper.

He calls all men Popper.

First he thought Pala's brother was his father.

Then he was told it was Blake.

He's making sure there's another round the corner for when Blake disappears.

Why this sudden consideration for father anyway?

A sudden fit of conscience.

That's a stupid thing to say about something you know nothing about.

Sorry.

Your father and I are...

a whole life together.

That you know nothing about.

That wasn't a round in her body, was I?

I was away at school where he sent me.

That's the way things were done then.

Still am I, God.

Well, it's you that wants the status quo mark, not me.

I've news for you about your father, Desi, I'll please you.

He asked me how I felt about divorce.

He's a Catholic.

He hasn't been to mass for weeks.

Thank you, Mason. Good night.

Did you see Blake?

Yes.

And did he agree?

Yes, he did.

Good.

Proling day will fall on Thursday the 25th of October.

The new Parliament will be summoned to meet on Wednesday the 31st of October.

When the first business will be the election of a speaker and the swearing in of members.

His Majesty is gracefully announced his intention formally to open Parliament on Tuesday the 16th of October.

I'll know November.

Good night.

You're back then.

Where have you been?

I asked Pithle to see Dad.

I stopped off at the club.

Some of this in the oven if you want it.

No thanks.

Your bed's dead.

Good.

I didn't think of your cumber here anyway.

You didn't think I'd come.

Would you mind switching the oven off if you don't want this?

Hang on a minute. You said you didn't think I'd come. Why?

Well, you slid out of Granddad's funeral. Why bother coming to see Dad?

I won't make you think I slid out of Granddad's funeral.

You weren't there.

I wasn't there because me dad didn't tell me.

He didn't want to get me from London for what he saw as a family duty. I hadn't forgiven him yet.

Hope you didn't tell him that.

Oh god, you seem to think you've got a prerogative of caring for the people I care for too.

Don't use your screwbook words on me, clear.

I haven't got many.

They are a f-reeducated me. I would have thought prerogatives more a word suited to the officer's mess.

And you didn't have to clean up an ear either just to prove to me the place was a tip.

I didn't like the idea of him coming back to you.

It was like it when he was here.

That's how it's been.

What kind of spin going on?

It started after Mum. You weren't here were you?

You weren't here were you?

Well that thing's go. Life got us down here.

It's not like dad to get like that.

I thought he'd throw himself into his Labour Party committee work to take his mind off things.

Yeah well it's not as keen as he was.

Why?

They told us they were going to build Jerusalem didn't they?

Maybe he looked at what the bill decided he didn't like it.

Well where were you? Couldn't you at Jolliday mode of it?

I had one or two problems in my own you know.

At the yard. Among others.

I thought the economy's supposed to take a turn for the better.

Festival of Britain all that fun and frolic there's a brand new war to keep the factories going.

Yeah well people aren't buying cars.

Well how can you afford to offer Martha a job then?

You've got fed up of your upper class women Blake.

Thought you'd try a bit of rough.

Jack's dead.

Yes.

Get your cupboard too.

Thanks for watching.

The

Princess three tops pictures.

Princess three top pictures.

Coffee.

You didn't borrow that much.

Okay take what I borrowed.

Are you working?

Not so you'd notice.

I tell you some good stories last night eh?

You write what I tell you.

How great Britain bring back all them slaves from the West Indies here.

Don't start again.

I'm okay I tell you.

I got a good job.

Kolo Machan Simon Fersa class.

Without a ship.

I get a ship.

But then poor West Indian black boys.

They don't get no ship.

They're just working on the streets and in the sewers.

In the sewers.

And on the bosses.

And in the hospitals.

Like slaves.

They'd be working in the cotton fields.

Only you don't have any cotton fields eh?

Why you know right about them?

I can't.

Sure you can.

I say the words and you write them down on your machine.

Told you Kona it's an hot potato.

And your machine only had a cold potato eh?

It does when I'm writing for this paper.

They don't want to know about racialism.

They want me to write what they want to read.

Go on slinging Rook I want to get ready.

Where are you going?

I'm going to London to see the Queen.

Go on the houses of Parliament.

Oh dear dear!

In Nigeria we have the house of assembly and the house of chiefs.

All big fellows with flash rings.

And we have a white men too.

Only the little fellows.

And we have a white men too.

Only the little fellows.

Like you.

Well we've got women.

Mines a woman my MP.

She's got me a pass into the visitors gallery so I can listen.

You better come into the Africa club.

Well out here better speeches. Go on.

I'll pick.

And slave songs.

Plenty of slave songs.

Ouch!

Hey!

What?

I'm going.

I'm going.

I'm going.

I'm going.

What time do you call this?

I'm late.

You're late.

And you don't like people who don't turn up on time.

Remember?

Well I've been up with a lot in myself. I can't stand another folk.

I like sarcasm.

You alright?

You're late. You're not usually late. I'm asking if you're alright.

Yes. I'm alright.

I just walked it along the beach. That's all.

I only walk along the beach when I'm somebody to think about.

I tend to stop don't ya?

I look out to see.

What the memories come rolling in.

Some out on your mind.

Just to know white Romans have got such big noses.

Hey?

It's some that my dad used to say.

Just to know white Romans have got such big noses.

I'm your boss.

I'm entitled to the nosy.

You're entitled to a day's work and I'm entitled to a day's payer. That's the end of it.

Look.

You want a flavour? Don't worry about being so pleasant.

I do as a matter of fact.

Hi.

I bumped into Mary for us yesterday.

She says she's getting browned off working nights at the club.

She's thinking of packing it in.

I wondered if you'd ask your dad if there was any chance of me going back.

You've got a job. What do you want to wear nights for?

I've got a part-time job. I've got to keep myself. And you don't pay much.

You don't do much.

You don't do anything much.

I'm not complaining.

I'm just saying that's the way things are.

All right. I'll have a word with him. I persuade him to do an hour or two here now that he's lost his job.

What, you're there to work, isn't he?

It's good enough for you, isn't it?

I'll have a word with him.

Thanks.

Haven't you got any work to do?

I think won't be the end of the world if he wets you.

Oh, Mark, don't be silly.

If your father doesn't want to pick him up, it doesn't matter.

What I do is just that I feel so powerless. Children at that age are omnipotent.

They hold all the cards. They revel in their helplessness.

One false move and they have his open, and I've just amount to meet you.

Was exactly the same on Mark and Ross?

It was Mark like when he was that age.

Oh, much the same.

The same wide-asarming stare.

Daring you were to make a false move.

And hoping you'd make some move.

I was about to say it's hard to believe that a thing like that could grow into someone like Mark, but perhaps I'd better not.

It might be misconstrued.

Serves you right.

Why do you always sign with him?

Because he's always right. Thank you very much.

No, no, no, no. You're going too far.

She takes my side, Mark, as I happen to be an elderly gentleman who needs support.

You can stand on your own two feet.

Try telling that to dear cousin Richard.

Oh, and what's happened?

Nothing.

You don't happen to know where Mother hid the ice skates before she left, do you?

Ice skates?

I don't know what ice skates.

Well, I thought it'd be a good exercise for Peg, and there's plenty of ice on the high-tarned.

Where are they?

Oh, heaven knows. In a glory hole, I should imagine.

How are I going now?

I'm sorry.

Oh, you're not some big. What is it?

It's his job.

Oh, he'll settle down.

Oh, I wish I could think so.

He was exactly the same when he worked on the estate.

He always felt people were watching and checking on him.

And Richard's just the same.

I thought he admired Richard.

According to Mark, the Richard of this world, again to put England back in his feet again.

Oh, he still admires him.

Suppose that makes it worse.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Suppose that makes it worse.

Richard won't trust him.

He won't give him any real responsibility.

He came home last night, taking this idea to Richard.

He knew it was a good idea, and it was.

Mark's good at estate management.

Anyway, Richard just picked holes in it.

Mark pretended it didn't matter, but I could see.

It was hurt.

Terribly hurt.

Well, I have a word with Richard, but we must remember that Richard is a very astute businessman.

He's made a great success with that mining company.

And it may be that he saw flaws in the idea that Mark, in his eagerness.

You don't think Mark's up to it, do you?

No, no, I didn't say that.

You're putting words in my mouth.

I love Mark.

I know you do.

I wouldn't have married him if I hadn't of loved him.

What they say about being blind to people's faults when you love them?

Well, it's just not true.

I know Mark better than anyone knows him.

Better than he knows himself?

Much better.

He pretends he hasn't any ambition, but that's just to cover himself in case things go wrong.

He wants to be a success for me, for Owen.

And he hasn't found this rightful place in the world?

No.

Well, then, we must help him find it.

Yes.

There I am.

Go on.

Well, why not?

Screw your curators to the sticking place.

There now.

Now then, who's that?

It's like your grandpa.

Give grandpa a big kiss.

Well, we, Warren, written turns on very good at kissing each other.

I'm pleased to say.

Anyway, not them, not them in.

Oh.

Hiya.

I found this skate.

And I found some courage.

The rose wand hers, you think?

I shouldn't think so.

I should never ask about them.

Maybe a bit on the big side, you'd still.

Oh, don't you think we should ask her?

When we say how we will.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know you were here.

No, we're just going.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

The leaves don't grow as far as the year.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

He's so beautiful.

Oh, not at two o'clock in the morning, isn't he?

Oh, dear.

Are you staying for lunch?

No, really, we're just going.

No, we'll get off.

Oh, please, not for me.

Oh, my.

Here's the book I promised.

Oh, thank you.

The fjorda.

Hitler's rise to power.

Conrad Haydn, I don't know him.

We might help you to better understand the complicated Germans.

Well, I'll be seeing you again.

Uh, lunch at one.

Yes, fine.

Bye.

Bye, my dear.

Oh, my dear.

Oh, my dear.

Oh, my dear.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

She had the run of the house.

Oh, she's not a servant.

Should I treat her as one?

Well, I thought she was here to look out for the boy.

The boy isn't here any longer.

Well, the boy's aware at school.

He hasn't disappeared from the face of the earth.

She needs someone to come back to.

Just as you did.

And Paula needs someone to stay at home.

You know, Father, for a country gentleman,

there are times when you're remarkably naive.

Well, I've never considered myself a country gentleman.

And I don't count an I-idity among the deadless inn.

Now, that's your funeral.

Come on.

Oh, did Mark tell you we had a letter from his mother.

How is she?

You've been here, you know?

I don't.

Oh, she's fine.

She's seen our care.

She's arranging for him to go to the visitors' gallery, I think.

I'll start the car.

It's all right.

It's all right.

You found me.

Yes, it wasn't as bad as I thought.

I kept asking people.

I wasn't sure they'd understand me.

Ha.

They used to all of us down here.

Therefore is the name of it called Babel,

because the Lord did there confide the language of all the earth.

You know the Bible, do you?

I think it was in the index, did you?

Describe reading.

Thanks for organizing this for me.

Oh, your piece in last week's Tribune was very impressive.

I know about the steel industry.

But then, so do you.

Well, we approached it from different heavens, ask where.

From top to bottom.

If you get together, you give me your secrets, I'll give you mine.

Sounds like a good idea.

Well, do you like what you've seen?

Yes, I do.

There's a song that would tear it all down in a government country from a council house.

But I wouldn't.

You can almost smell it in here, can't you?

Touch it.

History.

All the great decisions, all the monumental mistakes.

Yeah, I suppose you're right. History.

You're still being made. There'll be a bit more today.

I believe you've laid on something good for me.

Once you get through Scottish questions, I'm going to be in clear water.

Foreign affairs.

Europe?

Mm, Persia.

The Korean situation and the canals in.

Ali are the big wigs then.

Churchill.

Eden Atley.

Bevan.

Beth Warrington.

Not unless she's provoked. She might shout a little.

I'll listen out for you.

Well, we better go.

Should we meet back here, say, five-posey?

Mm, yeah.

You can give me your views on the standard of debate.

You're unbiased views.

There's a no sort of job for a fella.

It's keeping you off the streets.

I'd rather be on the streets than washing flaming cars.

Let's give his job, is this?

All right, go on. Burn your knees in front of the fire.

We've got some of our years for that, haven't we?

Look, I'll break her in there. Fancy stripping it down?

You know I know none about her engines, so don't be so funny.

This isn't an ironworks, Dad. I can't conjure your old job out of thin air.

No, you can't throw a man out of his job when he's got years of useful work in him either.

Don't blame me because you lost your job.

Joe Morin's in up in nationalized. You don't have a back the minute you got out of hospital.

Happen a wood, happen a woody.

You know down well you would.

It's a trouble, you lot.

You don't just get rid of the bad bosses. You get rid of the good ones and all, and you're paying for it.

And you're not making things any better, carrying on like a flaming capitoly.

I wish it was. Look.

I've got something to ask you about Martha.

What about her?

We know she used to work at the club.

Yeah, of course I do.

Well she wanted her old job back. Nights. Can you put a word in?

Well would you want me to?

It's not skin off mine, are you?

You've got your eye on her, haven't you?

Can you put a word in her, can't you?

Yes, of course again.

Even skippers have their uses.

Can I help?

I've got more.

Yes, I know.

I'm actually looking for Miss Paula Brandt. She deserves her.

Yes, she does.

Do you know what I might find her?

Well, I don't exactly know where she is at the moment.

Would you like to come in?

Thank you, Miss.

Thank you, Miss. I want to.

Would you like to sit down, Mr. Vickers?

I'm not altogether sure that the brand is in the house.

She has a habit of wandering off down to the village, and she's

suddenly remembers some shopping she has to do.

Can I help at all?

No.

But I better go and see where she is.

Would you like to come in to drink or tea or coffee or something?

No, thank you.

Something stronger perhaps if it's not too early.

No, thank you.

But I'll go and see where she is.

I thought we might have gone into the village.

Do you want me for something?

Someone does.

You have a visitor.

A visit there.

Mr. Vickers.

Mr. Vickers has to know anybody called Vickers.

He's in Madrile.

Are you coming?

I got the impression.

He'd like to see you in private.

I'll be here if you want me.

I'll be here.

Mr. Vickers?

Yes.

Have we met?

No, we haven't met Rollin.

I thought I did not recognize your name.

Please sit down.

I'm here on very personal business.

I'm sure he'd wish you'd be kept private.

You sound very mysterious, Mr. Vickers.

There's no reason why I should be for our name.

Oh, thank you, ma'am.

Do you have something to do with the government?

I'm here as an investigator for our name.

I'd like to ask you some questions.

And I'd appreciate full and frank answers.

I have nothing to hide.

And I'm sure my visit will be a short one.

Your full name is Paula Maria Brandt.

Yes.

Immediately before entering this country, you lived at Bayraka Strasser 15 Dusseldorf.

Before that, you were resident at Zeehausenstrasse Aranse in Altmark.

Yes.

In the Eastern zone?

Yes.

On the 14th of May, 1950, you traveled to East Berlin.

And later the same day, in the company of a small boy, you crossed into the Western zone.

Is that correct?

Yes.

The boy was your nephew.

Emil Brandt, your brother, son.

No, the boy was Emil Brandt, yes.

But he was the son of an English soldier.

Brake would. He lives near here.

I brought the boy to see his father.

I see.

When you crossed into the Western zone, why were you traveling on the papers of Heter Brandt?

It was easier for me to leave the East as the boy's mother.

And then you were in the West Berlin zone?

He lives the East as the boy's mother.

And easier for Heter Brandt, your sister-in-law, to continue to live in East Germany with

your papers?

Yes.

Why?

My brother is a political prisoner.

She wishes to stay with him. It might be bad for her as his wife.

So that's why she didn't bring the boy herself?

Yes.

Because she wished to stay with her husband?

Yes.

Are you expecting her to come now that your brother is dead?

I'm sorry, Fr. L.I. and I was sure you'd know.

I am sorry.

You say anything I can get to?

I did not know this.

It's not safe to write letters.

Sometimes I see.

He's dead.

I'm sorry to say, according to our information, he died in prison two weeks ago, on the 22nd of January.

I really am sorry, Fr. Rann.

Particularly as you've been so frank.

Just one or two more questions and I won't bother you any further.

Before you came to this country, you were, I think I'm creating saying, a member of the Middle Duchar Communist Party.

The Communist Party.

Yes, I...

At university, in Gosla we were.

We were against the Nazis.

Against Hitler.

But you never actively resigned.

No, why?

You attended several Communist Party meetings in Arrense in 1945-6.

Yes, I go to meetings.

One, maybe two only.

There was talk that the Nazis would rise again.

But you've had no affiliations.

No affiliations.

Links with the Communist Party since that time.

Is that what you're saying?

Yes, yes, I have no links.

I see.

Fr. Alain, you're in this country as a registered alien.

As such, I'm not a little bit of this what are you unduly, but as such you're in a vulnerable position.

I strongly suggest that while you're in Britain, you make no political affiliations whatsoever.

You do understand what I'm saying.

Yes.

And one more thing.

Your conduct so far has been exemplary.

You've reported when necessary.

You carried out all our requirements.

I'd like you to carry on doing so.

And I'd like to ask a favor.

If ever you hear that your sister-in-law has entered, all is about to enter this country,

will you inform me?

Won't you know?

Not necessarily.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

How, therefore, does he propose to invoke international discussion in order that there

shall be international defence of the canal zone and not bring British troops alone into

collision with the Egyptian civil population?

I think the best way to handle this affair in the first instance is between ourselves and the Egyptians,

because it is on the basis of the Anglo-Egyptian treaty that our forces are in the canal zone.

Of course, I accept and have always accepted that the 1936 treaty can be and should be replaced

by some further agreement.

And that further agreement should be, I hope, will be, upon an international basis.

This is an exceedingly important matter.

And all I want to do is to elicit the facts at this stage so that we can have an intelligent

discussion on it later on.

The right honorable gentleman on the one side says, and everybody, I think, agrees with him,

that this is an international obligation.

But then he at once proceeds as far as I can see to the only practical steps on a unilateral basis.

What a terrible basis.

It wasn't entirely unexpected.

No.

No, it was not strong.

He had, and soon the Lufteux Master in the chest.

Bronco?

Bronco, it is, yes.

It must have been terrible for him in prison.

Is that all this man because came to tell you that helmet had died?

No.

No, he said that I must speak to him if Hatter comes to England.

Hatter?

Do disrespect her politically?

I don't know, perhaps.

But as far as your concern, there's no trouble.

Nothing.

No.

Good.

Because I want you to have a happy life here.

If there's anything I can do.

Well, what do you think?

Very instructive.

I like the Scottish questions.

Gave me an idea what you've all got to put up with.

So are you doing your shouting?

At Eden.

Oh, well.

I got the impression him and Bevan don't get on too well.

I shouldn't think they understood each other too well.

Well, you've certainly got all kinds in there.

What's it like being on the wrong side after being on the right?

Frustrated.

Oh, I believe in debate, but I like to be on the side that I know is going to win.

I suppose I've been spoiled.

Will I get you there again?

As soon as possible, please.

No.

Would you like to complete the royal tour tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

Uh, I'm alright till six.

I'm on a turnstile at the furniture exhibition,

earning a few barber until I'm Britain's premier political journalist.

Well, I meant during the day I could get away and meet you here, say, by eleven.

If I'm not being a nuisance.

When you're Britain's premier political journalist, I shall use you mercilessly.

That's a deal.

I think he's infatuated.

Well, she's a very beautiful woman.

Is that all it takes?

When you get to your father's age, you don't waste time with political debate.

Whereas at my age, there's time for everything.

Someone might see you.

Are you taking me out to dinner?

I might.

Who would you like to go?

It's somewhere nice.

I'd like to see Daddy, too, I haven't spoken to him for a week.

You're alright?

We'll go to Esquidale, call at Lake House on the way.

Halfana?

Sorry, sir.

The project passed on the West Sea.

You said you wanted it as soon as possible.

Thank you.

I'll do armature.

Halfana?

Uh-huh.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

I'll do it.

Half an hour.

Uh-huh.

Yes, yes, fine, Daddy.

Mr. A1?

Yeah, what do you want?

Not you, the other one.

How long is it going to be Mr. A, would I?

As long as I'm working for you.

Hello, Blake Hayward.

Ah, John Mornington.

Hello, Mr. Mornington.

I have a proposition to put to you.

And one of you will find time to come out to Lake House and talk about it.

Certainly, yeah.

Well, now's as good a time as any of it suits you.

Good.

I'd expect you in about an hour.

Right.

Goodbye.

I'm nipping over to Lake House to see John Mornington.

Nothing with the vest there.

It's about near Wood.

According to Roberts, there's a good timber there.

It'll fetch a good price if I can get it out of the sawmill.

How do you feel about doing a little log hoarding?

Log ho.

Yes.

Well, I, uh, I need a lorry and some block and tackle, nothing special.

I could pick it up second hand.

Could you see your way to giving me an advance on the contract?

I don't see why not.

I'm still in the thinking stage, but I think perhaps we ought to help each other as much as possible.

But in principle, you're agreeable.

Ah, I'm certain.

Good. Come in.

Hello, hello. Come on in.

I'm just in your little business. Mr. Hayward.

Oh, no, don't go.

Nothing private about it.

I'm thinking of cutting down mere Wood.

I'm not going to go.

I'm not going to go.

I'm not going to go.

I'm not going to go.

The Lincoln Parish Act, you also need yourahs.

Well, isn't that God?

Oh, it's a good idea to take a home.

I don't think I'm going to go.

If you look at the price, it's not apostolic.

Do you know Richard Warren too?

Late Hayward?

Thanks, Robert.

I, we met briefly.

I had a look at one of your cars one time.

You did indeed.

I was going to put some more business your way,

but why should I now that I have

Ross and her mechanical mind?

Oh, absolutely.

I mean, why bother with me when you can afford the best?

I think we better go.

Hello, Blythe.

Oh.

How are you?

Oh, I'm fine, thanks.

How's Emile?

Oh, he's.

He's very well and happy.

How's he doing with his schoolwork?

Very well, too.

He's a clever little boy.

He must get it from his mother.

Blake, my, my brother is dead.

Emile has no other father now but you.

You've heard from her, huh?

No.

No, I do not know where she is.

But there's nothing to keep her in the east now.

No, no.

There's nothing to keep her there.

Yeah, that sounds great.

I've seen about three months.

Thanks.

Morning.

Dad's not coming in today.

But he said he wants to see you at the club at dinner time.

I'll give you a lift down if you're right.

Oh, thanks. That'd be nice.

Did he have a word about me, did he say?

All he said was he wanted to see you.

I'm not getting involved.

I don't blame him if things go wrong.

On the other hand if things go right.

Thanks, anyway.

And that's as much as I can.

I'm not going to do it.

What more do you want?

I'll give you a shower when I'm ready.

No, I have nothing concrete.

Nearly a feeling in my burns that my namesake at Lake House is more than a little unsettled.

Well, I'll tell him you've heard a rumor that the house may be coming on the market,

and if it does, you have a potential buyer.

Jolly, I'm along a bit.

Oh, and well, you're at it.

Put out a confidential feeler with the car.

Find out if it would have a free run to develop Lake House as a hotel.

Mm-hmm.

Well, make sure your vest is good enough.

If the house does come on the market and I don't get it, I'll be very annoyed with you.

Call me back when you've got something.

Come in.

Busy?

Darling, not now.

You're here.

The Pollocks have asked us for dinner tonight.

Edna said she's sorry at such short notice, but she forgot to ring me.

I think they've been let down anyway.

Well, do you want to go?

No, I'm easy.

And my friends, but it doesn't matter.

Pollock, yes, yes. Of course we'll go.

He's the man who owns half-bride Kirk.

Isn't he? He could be useful.

So do you're any criterion for friendship?

Usefulness.

Would you rather I applied yours?

Sex?

Please, then it's start again.

Oh, Ros.

What did you see in him? What was it?

Toulula Bankhead and Stoker?

Did you fall for a bit of muscle?

Blake Hayward and I were friends.

Good friends.

Very good friends.

Yes, very good friends, and it's over.

Why do I have to keep repeating myself?

Darling, I'm merely trying to clear the air.

The air's cleared.

Good.

Don't let it start again.

I have no intention of letting it start again.

And I shouldn't think he has either.

I'll give you a job.

I tried to get you another one.

And I don't even rate a kiss.

I didn't think you'd rather be the likes of me.

I though you were any brother with the ladies.

I thought you were any brother with the ladies.

Well, I thought you were any brother with the ladies.

Well, I wasn't a good friend.

I was a good friend.

Ladies.

Ladies amuse me.

I mean, every kid likes a toy to play with.

Who was the toy?

You, uh-huh.

What have I waste my time with you, eh?

Because I'm here?

You're not the only one.

I'm here, too.

Here.

I've fought away.

You would stand to him.

Not London.

You still carry no torch for our care?

I don't carry torches.

I get all these living.

You could have fooled me.

Like a dead war on Carlisle, have we, Dad?

Kings dead.

They just give it out up while us.

When?

This morning, they've just give it out.

No.

What's your anger on for this world?

Last picture of Solomon.

Well, it's out of it now.

This thing working?

Oh, there's now, Tom.

They just give it out and up with the end of it.

Well, we've got a queen, then.

Yes, we've got a queen.

Yeah.

Put that halfway up pole for us, will you?

I hope I can remember out.

It's a long time since I was in the boy scouts.

It's the broad white stripe at the top.

Sit down, little.

Can you start tonight?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah, they've had a bit of a rise since you left,

bar staff.

It'll be a five-bomb more than you were getting last time.

Let's suit you.

That's lovely.

What's the matter, love?

Can't you take good news?

Well, there hasn't been much.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

Look, would you like a brandy?

I can manage a small one without them noticing.

No, thanks.

I still have to watch you.

You'll have your hands full.

Tonight, then, seven o'clock.

I'll be here.

And thanks.

Oh, that's not.

Why did I wear such a duff, love?

Oh, we saw right.

It gave me a job, and you?

Oh, I don't mean them.

I mean, to the one.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Great time at St Paul's.

I didn't want to hear that too often.

Well, I can't say I'm afraid there's an announcement at 2.30.

Sorry we had to rush lunch.

I saw it.

Well, I must dash.

Keep in touch.

I will.

I'd like to meet your Nigerian friend.

I'll tell him.

Mr. Speaker, the house will have learned with deep sorrow

of the death of his magickens taking George VI.

We cannot at this moment do more than record

the spontaneous expression of our grief.

The accession council will meet at five o'clock this evening.

And I now ask you, sir, to guide the house as to all duties.

You're going a week Saturday?

Why?

Why, to watch town, of course.

Where else do you go on Saturday?

With the plane.

There knows now, because they're playing New York,

second leg, first round.

Lead, cup, what we're going to win.

It's worth going.

Town or murder him.

I should hope so, and all.

We beat him 18 to 7.

I'm there, midden.

I'm going.

You coming, George?

All right, I'm still breathing.

What about you?

All right.

With a fair crowd, though, we're going to enclosure.

Not you, though.

I'm for dellifers, think close, you.

We're going on popular side.

Well, I know, talent's enough for me.

Oh, and you can spring another bob.

What about him?

Look, I'm a steel man mate.

I don't work in on mine, I fish.

Don't know where we are two minutes together,

but with George.

Hey, don't drag me into it.

I work for him now.

Oh, well.

You're well out of it.

We don't know who us bosses are two minutes together.

Well, top of that, we've got an actual, weren't we?

You lock can't dig out enough, he might hide.

There's no coming in through, working done, Docs.

You'll get over it.

I want that on it.

It was number three, Bluster, and he's down last back end.

And to the same again, show his god-made little apples.

Your jack of his spinning in his grave.

It's the same everywhere, for all conservatives

who are going to change the world.

Give him a chance.

He won't have been in five minutes.

Hello, bosses being getting it, you have a big.

You didn't seem to be worried about your jack.

Hey.

Me dad, you said your jack of his spinning in his grave.

You didn't seem to be worried about what are you doing?

They're studying, Doc.

But he's up there, don't we?

Watching.

If I thought that, I'd never leave the house.

Oh, you must believe in something.

I believe he's dead.

I know he's dead.

And I know I'm living, and that's enough to be going on with.

I feel that up for us.

Yeah.

You're paying for that.

Oh, dear.

After all I said about myself.

Couldn't go out and win a pack of cards, could you?

Why I do that?

If we get new cards, I can't tell what you got.

15, 2, 15, 4, 15, 6, and 2 is 8.

16 without a 15.

Oh, no.

I want two.

And there they are.

Just.

You want to play again?

Yeah, in a minute.

I'll just brew up.

What made you go in the merchant navy?

Money, lovely money.

Is your father a seaman?

No, not seaman, fisherman.

On the delta, to Popo town, he wants his sons to be fisherman, but we say no.

How are you, God brothers?

Yes, I have two brothers.

They joined the Nigerian rifles when the young fella.

But I am man of peace.

When I was 15, I went to Inugu to work in the mines.

But it is not good there.

Then I went to put Hakod, one to be still in white court for elder Demster lines.

But they say no.

They give me a deckhand job for United Africa Company.

We sell from Buruto port.

Also in Tankas, from Cavastin to Liverpool, in Big Big convoy.

From Buruto, we take Coco and Pamoy, Benisid and Robert.

Firewood, ironware and cheap tin trays.

I own yes, but no trays.

Wood, plenty wood from Saapel.

It is a good life.

When you've got a ship.

Hey.

Then it marvellous.

He hears me, thinks he knows everything.

I've been to Whit Stanton, London, and airfield in Canada, two in East Anglia,

and the sky over Germany once or twice.

You've been everywhere.

There's good, there's bad.

Here is good.

Play crib, drink with friends, go to Africa club.

If I get a ship, okay. No ship, I wait.

You want to play again?

No, I don't think so.

Okay.

I win three, you win two.

You owe me Chopin, sir.

Here.

I hope it chokes you.

I think I go to Soho.

Get me a woman.

I hope she chokes you.

You got a woman?

I shouldn't think so. Not for a minute.

What was it finding my way, Ollie?

Oh, give us a chance to draw a breakfast, Ollie.

Oh, we drink him hell for our new queen.

Oh, well, that'll make a very happy move.

You're my queen, aren't you, Ollie?

You're my queen, aren't you, Ollie?

It's a man of mine, you.

Oh, she's a belter, isn't she?

She is that?

Give us your money.

Queen Elizabeth, God bless her.

I'll drive you home tonight.

Hello, says.

I say, I want you to work tomorrow morning, don't you, the mister?

Bye, everybody else.

LAUGHTER

I'm so sorry.

Well, here to come to England.

To see Blake Hayward?

To see her son.

Perhaps. Perhaps the season was.

German women have a great loyalty to whoever needs that loyalty.

Lata was loyal to Hernmüh.

Now he is gone.

She will be loyal to Emile and to Blake.

Is that a national characteristic?

Are all German women so loyal?

Yes.

If safe use they are really needed.

I did not tell you everything about this man because...

During the war at university in Goslau, I was a communist.

We were against the Nazis, against Hitler.

We knew he was wrong.

This man because he knows this and he tells me he...

Reminds me.

Reminds me.

Then it was good to be a communist.

Now it is bad.

Are you still a communist?

No.

No, I have no politics now.

There is no Hitler now.

I tell him this, but I don't think he believes me.

He says I must be careful.

You're vulnerable. You realise that?

He used this as a word too, but I'm not sure.

It means you're not protected.

You're in a weak position.

Yes.

Yes, I am an alien.

This I know.

There are ways of protecting yourself.

I am also a survivor.

This word I know.

Survivor.

I've lived with the Russian soldiers.

And if you live with the Russian soldiers and you keep your dignity,

then you are a survivor.

It seems that nowadays all over the world there are Russian soldiers.

People who want to take away your dignity.

I don't know how much this man, Dick, has said how.

How much he frightened you.

He did not frighten me.

He's from the government.

A British government perhaps, but any government can be cruel.

But you have been kind to me.

I hope I always will be.

But I will be.

Oh, not here.

I didn't mean that.

It's a minute.

The neighbours will see.

Let me come in.

No.

Why not? Give me one good reason.

Your Jack's not watching.

Nobody else cares.

You

Don't

Don what?

prevent the

Come on, come on!

Come on, come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, come on!

Come on, come on!

Come on, listen!

What do you think you're doing?

I'm all right.

All right. Look at you.

Come on, Bob, back, please, mister.

Yeah.

Yeah!

A mumble loose passing!

You're not a kid anymore, you know.

Remember that.

Look, stay away after a minute.

I'm all right.

Enjoyed it.

Good.

You walk by the side of your hearse of the funeral.

Stop your fussing.

You worse than your mother was.

You're a good little lady.

Yeah?

A couple of bites, love, please.

You're not going to London just like that, are you?

Yes, I am. What's wrong with me?

Well, if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you.

Come on.

That's getting money.

Don't tell you it's saying.

Johnny Lawrence and score the try in every round.

Look, I'm telling you, you've never scored against him.

And I'm telling you, dip.

Go and put your money there.

Go down for that, Bob.

Here's George.

Hey, George.

Yeah, I know this fellow.

Oh, it's him.

There's more clocking than I'm on the end.

Yeah, see you in that den.

What's your talk to him, man?

You're going to do with the bloody idea like of him.

What's your act, kid?

Hey, George.

Tell this fellow, will you?

Dip Johnny Lawrence and score the try against them.

Tell him's in second round.

Yeah, of course he did.

And he kicked three goals at all.

There you go.

So he scored a try in every round, didn't he?

Yeah, and he scored two.

Two against York.

See?

I never met you.

Oh, I know you never met me.

You're too flaming, careful.

No, you're feeling.

Oh, am I right, love?

Just a bit short of puff, that's all.

It's mad at you.

He's murdered everyone these days.

So you've got out to do with you, has it?

Me?

Why should I vote to do with me?

I just thought perhaps with you stopping work at the garage.

I tell you something about Blake.

When him and Kia were kids, if Kia had a new railway engine, a cricket bat, or boxes of soldiers,

Blake had wanted.

Whatever Kia got, Blake had to have.

I'm nobody's toy, I'm sorry.

You remind me a lot of my wife that rest herself.

Do you want another one of those?

One of your wages?

Those counting.

Anyway, I manage a smaller without a noticing.

Hey, you're learning.

I never stop.

Please.

May I say how kind it was of you to indulge a old man's will?

And struggling to a dinner jacket?

I do enjoy it in a formality, and God knows there's not much left.

Well, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I enjoy it.

Our sartorial answer to the night devens of this year.

Viva la de France.

Not joining us, my dear, and looking so beautiful.

I, um, I'd rest to please my host.

Not to show the, not, not difference. There's another word for it.

Distinction.

Your father is a very clever man.

The distinction between the rich and the poor.

Daddy, you're sheltering a Marxist under your roof.

Why?

I, I don't think so.

Richard, would you have some more port?

Thank you.

That's a beautiful dress.

Oh, you like it?

Yes. I bought it in Kessig.

Kessig? Good lord. One up for Kessig.

You both look delicious.

You know I do envy you this house, John.

Yes, I know. You're not the only one.

Really?

I had Martin Sells with the estate agent on the telephone.

He asked me to let him know if the house ever came onto the market.

The family's got a buyer already with checkbook and hot little hand.

Martin Sellsby.

It does work for you, doesn't it?

Yes, he does.

Well, John, you must add me to your list.

Well, yes, I will, although, um...

It's much too big for you, Daddy. Now that you're on your own.

Yes, I suppose it is, another day. Come on, my own.

Well, the same applies equally to Richard.

Not for long, I'm pleased to say.

No.

Opportun?

I think so.

I'm delighted to be able to announce that having come to my senses and proposed to Ros,

she has taken leave of hers and accepted me.

No.

My apologies, John.

There should have been an earlier scene featuring just the two of us in a pair of avannas.

But as you so often say, we're not Victorians, and in any event you might have raised some objection,

and that wouldn't have suited my book at all.

Objection! I'm delighted, how on earth do you keep it yourselves all through dinner?

Richard's teaching me self-discipline, and don't I get a kiss?

Every happiness, my love.

I'm sure you will be very happy.

To Richard and Ros.

To Richard and Ros.

Why don't we take our drinks into the drawing room?

Come on, army, you two.

How did you buy that drink?

Where'd you get the money from?

Your father, I expect.

Daddy.

My dear, some men prefer to buy paintings, others prefer looking at beautiful women.

Both can be expensive.

Come on, Ros, enough of these double standards.

Had it been anyone else but your father, you'd have applauded heartily.

What time you got?

10 o'clock.

You say she'd come at nine?

I said she'd try and come at nine.

These MPs don't work office hours, you know.

It's not a nine to five job.

She's probably got a late sit-in.

Maybe she don't want to come and meet me.

Yeah, that'll be it.

She probably thinks she's a bogeyman.

Don't you make fun of me, white man?

How do you get on with white women?

How do you mean?

Well, when you pass them in the street, do you notice anything? Are they frightened?

I'll tell you one thing.

I sure am done frightened of them.

Oh, I am sorry.

It's all right.

Hello.

Hello, ma'am.

Please sit down.

Thank you.

Good drink.

Oh, lovely.

It's been a long, long day.

I hope you like whisk it. It's all we've got.

With water, please.

I didn't think I was going to find you, but it was remarkably easy.

Kea tells me that you have a very interesting theory of immigration.

Oh, Kona doesn't call it immigration.

Do you, Kona?

No.

Slave trade.

Oh.

Who are the slavers?

We are.

Brace yourself.

Thank you for a lovely evening.

You're not going.

I am, if you will excuse me.

I don't know, I won't.

I'd like you to stay for a little while.

Please?

I'm very tired, but for a little while.

A drink?

Oh, no, thank you.

When that man came from Special Branch, when he told you what he had to tell you,

asked the questions he had to ask.

I have forgotten what he said.

Oh, yes, yes, so I accepted one thing.

He said to a vulnerable.

And of course he was right.

Is there something wrong?

Oh, no, no, no.

Just the opposite.

No, you've looked after my house wonderfully.

You've cared for your nephews if he were your own son.

Emil, is it boarding school?

There's no difficulty.

Oh, yes, but there is.

You're constantly a war with Blake Hayward.

He's the boy's father.

He wants one thing for the child, and you want another.

It is best the way that things are.

Oh, yes, but it doesn't make your life any easier.

Nor does your status here.

You came to this country as an alien.

That is not a nice word.

No.

Oh, you've behaved impeccably.

Your work permit has been issued whenever it was necessary.

But the vulnerability remains.

At any moment they could revoke that permit and send you back to Germany.

For very little reason.

And I would go.

I don't want you to go.

This is all wrong.

My timing is a vomit wrong.

We should be outside under the moon and moon and moon.

I'm not going to go.

We should be outside under the moon and the stars and the warm night air.

But it's raining.

And rain tends to weaken my resolution.

And I don't want my resolution to weaken.

We'll do mad at me.

You cannot expect me to answer you now.

No.

I've climbed a mountain merely asking you.

I'm much to exhausted to deal with an answer.

But I would like you to think about it most seriously.

I love you.

Of course I will think about it.

You have given me a great honour.

And it must have been difficult for you just now.

Yes.

I thought I was waiting but I was frightened.

Frightened that whilst I was waiting, something might happen to take away from me.

But I do want you to know what my feelings are.

I want you to know that from the moment I'm free, from that very moment,

I want you for my wife.

I want you to know what I'm doing.

And now I will never sleep.

I've only got condensed milk, I'm afraid.

Then I'll have it black.

You would say.

No, I say I had two brothers.

The Nigerian rifles.

Olu was killed during the war in Burma.

The other one, he sat with his big behind, holding rifle,

getting the refinery at Lagos.

Only.

Nobody come.

When you were finished, he'd be a big man.

He'd want big house, women, new boat, everything.

The brave new world.

And I say, here, the same.

When British Army soldier comes back, he don't want dirty jobs, little jobs.

He want big house, like Nigerian rifle.

He want woman, nice job behind desk in office.

And when the boss is here to him, now go back and work on the boss's.

Down the sewers, in the hospital.

He's obsessed with the robot.

No, this is serious business, man.

When the boss says this, British Army soldier says no.

Don't want to go and drive the boss.

Don't want to go down the sewers.

Don't want to scrub in the hospital.

So what they do?

These government fellows.

They go to King Sting, Jamaica.

And they bring all the slaves back here.

For the hospital, and the sewers, and the bosses, and all the dirty jobs.

It's an interesting theory.

The more I hear it, the better it sounds.

It's surely it was to everyone's advantage.

There was no work for them back home.

All right, take it a bit further.

At the moment, it's fine. There's jobs for everybody.

Well, nearly.

But what happens when bad times hit us again and jobs are scarce?

What happens to the immigrants then?

Slaves.

All right, what happens to the immigrants slaves then?

And the white man wants his job back on the buses in the hospitals down the sewers.

It will happen.

And when it does, it's people with faces like is who are going to be filling the dole queues.

They were made a lot of promises. And what have they got?

Lousy weather.

No job in a country where 9 out of 10 of the natives ate the bloody sight of them.

It's not that bad.

8 out of 10.

Oh, I think you're being unnecessarily alarmist.

I am, but that's my job. I want political reform.

If you shout fire, somebody will come and get your head out of the railings.

What do you want me to do?

Well, if we thought that somebody in Parliament was keeping an eye on it,

we thought that you were saying what you've heard tonight,

to some of your mates and your friends.

We'd say that was worth a cup of coffee and a glass of whiskey.

Alright, I'll do that.

Hear that? You've influenced the course of British history.

Thank you. Now all I have to do is get a ship.

Well, I must go. I'm driving up north tomorrow. Do you want to live by a job?

No, I'll be a good lad and put all this on paper for you.

Oh, marvellous. If you stood up to me, I'll be a good lad.

I'll be a good lad and put all this on paper for you.

Oh, marvellous. If you statistics and breakdown of employment in the sewers.

Right, you're on.

What are you driving down there for tomorrow?

They'll all be down here for the cup final.

I know, we don't rub it in. I was offered to see weeks again.

I turned it down. I'm committed to this surgery.

That'll be a ghost town.

Didn't, uh, what's his name saying? If you're an agent, he's a big town supporter.

He is ill.

Oh, he's on his way down here with your ticket in his pocket.

Well, I wouldn't blame him.

Well, you just been very instructive, thank you.

Anytime, man. And thank you.

Any messages?

Yeah, if he doesn't come down to tell me himself, will you say a lot of me dad for me?

I'll do that. See ya.

Look, you put back that. I'll raise you on.

Time, please. Can I be glasses?

There you go. There you go.

How's that for service?

Thank you.

You know, you remind me of a woman who used to work here.

Used to work for me come to think of it.

Dark hair, flashing eyes. She had a bit more life to her than you know.

Anyway, it was this night, couple of months back, I took her home.

And a mean home, you know, inside upstairs, the lot.

Now, you're not going to believe this, since then. Nothing.

What you reckon, huh? She just wanted me a body.

A minute I walked out the next day, she choked me up and that was it.

Happened she made a mistake. Women often do.

I'll tell you what, though. She enjoyed it.

I think I should try again tonight.

It's not really worth it if she only wants your body, is it?

I mean, you're often the only house, are you?

That's what I mean. Hardly worth me going old, isn't it?

What do you think she'd say if I asked her?

I reckon if she said no every night for the last two months, she's going to say no again.

I know I would.

Are you coming home, Dad?

No, I'll walk down with Willie.

Can I have your glasses, please?

Get off of them, I'll send you this.

Good night.

Good night, all.

Thanks a lot. I gave you a sound.

I'll catch you up.

You're right.

Are you? That's mother point.

Yeah, I'd take a lot of putting down.

You're not going to get to sleep, are you? If you're off at two o'clock.

Well, I'd say it's having a little bit of stroke.

I know all that stroke.

I never was one for riding on showers.

I'd like to see now a gear.

Better still.

I'd like to get him back here for good.

Tell him.

There's only one thing that'll fetch that lad back and that's what got should've been in first place.

Have you ever been to London?

No.

You fancy a trip?

Two o'clock.

You can sleep on a shower.

Oh, to see the sights you mean?

Well, there's your shower ticket and that's where our gear's living.

Fetch him back.

Oh, you're right.

What's up?

What's your dad?

Oh, he's not coming.

He's not coming.

No, he wasn't feeling so good.

Oh, what a share.

For the best.

Come on, lad, get him all gone.

You all right?

Hey.

I'm surprised for you all.

Maxie.

Well, well.

What are you doing here?

I'm allowed, aren't I?

I'm sitting next to you.

Yeah, if you keep your hands to yourself.

You're not going to match, are you?

No.

You don't give me a share ticket.

So that's where it went.

I've got his match ticket.

You sure do want to come?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I've got his match ticket.

You sure do want to come?

No.

I've got other things to do.

Anybody I know?

No, I don't think so.

It's a girl I used to go to school with.

She married her soldier from Chelsea Barracks.

Very nice.

All right, here we go.

All together, lad.

And you're on to here with your folks.

So thank you, Ken.

They haven't got the legos times?

So now.

Hey, what we do today?

What you say we go up to the West End

to go Lions Cornerhouse, have egg and chips,

and then go to the cinema?

No, I don't think so.

I'll stop here.

My dad might come.

But you know right, no letter.

He doesn't write letters, my dad.

He's quite capable of coming 300 miles on spec.

On spec?

Open, open, I'll be in.

Oh, sure.

I do that too sometimes.

Once I take a ship from Sydney, Australia,

all they went to South Power in Brazil to meet a woman.

And she was out.

No, she was in, so was her new husband.

That's a bad luck.

No, no bad luck.

He only did two teller.

Combriance in Verde, capital.

Hey, that's you, Combriance.

Yeah, from Cumberland.

And today, London chock full of fellows like you?

Yeah.

I think I stay at home.

I wish you would, and let me get on with some work.

10,000 West Combriance travel through the night

in 100 motor coaches and 10 special trains

to cheer on with Stanton in their rugby cop final clash

with Fédaston Rovers.

Fédaston Rovers?

What sort of place Fédaston Rovers?

It's in Yorkshire, the foreigners.

I think they're going to lose.

I don't like foreigners.

I don't like fellows who sit around reading my paper

when I've got work to do.

OK, OK, I go.

Skip and chips, half past 12, OK?

Fine, get out.

Mm.

Hey, get out.

What?

I go.

Yeah!

Yeah.

You're a liar.

Somebody been talking to Matt me, have they?

Oh, you needn't bother to answer.

I know what's said.

I'm not going to wish we'd prefer arguing about it.

I don't know what he sees in you.

If it's part of his life that's not to do with me,

you can stop away from all I care just as long as he knows where he stands.

You don't have no interest to me. People like you.

You just like telling other people how to behave.

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

It's up to you.

No.

George A was ladlips down there somewhere.

He's welcome.

I won't live in this place for a gold clock.

Yes, I've seen you've played along with you.

As a matter of fact, I was out of those courts, I said.

Well, that is flat.

Yes.

What's it like there?

Well, Steve, you got to compare with anything out here, you're just half of London lived away, you guys.

It's fine, don't worry about it.

Thank you.

He, uh, doesn't seem unsettled then.

Good Lord, no.

I've said the wrong thing, haven't I?

Yeah.

Look, he's happy, George.

Well, he sent you his love. He thought you might be getting down there.

What about you?

What are you doing up here?

Which sentence ampere you ought to be down there sitting in the best seats?

Don't you start. I was badly advised. Let's leave it at the wrap.

One cup of tea.

Why not?

You're fans.

Can play anything.

Savile me.

syna!

What are you doing up here?

Yes?

It's Beth Warrington here.

Is Mr. Warrington there?

Oh, yes, of course.

Yes, can you hold the line, please?

It's Beth.

Beth, how are you?

I'm well, and you?

Fine.

Are you up here?

Yes, I came out this morning.

I passed the Amade in my way.

I was wondering, has anything happened, Your End?

Oh, not a great deal.

I spoke to Desmond Crook, she asked today.

He works slowly, even for a solicitor, as you will now.

My people have come up with an idea that may speed things up

a little.

I'd like to talk to you about it.

Well, of course, when would suit you?

Tomorrow morning?

Well, tomorrow morning's fine.

I'd expect you about 10.

Goodbye.

I want you all back here by 10 o'clock tonight on this spot.

And I don't mean 10 fast, and I don't mean 5 fast.

These wheels start turning at 10 o'clock.

And if you're not here by then, you make your own wheel.

Right?

Right.

Right.

Scrum down London.

You don't know what you're in for.

Just go, Kev.

I want to see this game.

I don't want to be in jail.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

Fancy some breakfast?

No, I'll help your friends, thanks.

I thought you might have been looking my brother up.

No, you don't, eh?

Why?

Do you know where I am?

I'm not sure, eh?

Flits about a lot.

So much for that, then?

We could meet up after the match and see the town, if you like.

Better not.

Seems a bit mean coming all this way just for a few hours.

You don't give much away, do you?

I've got that much to give.

Enjoy yourself.

Excuse me.

Can you tell me why I can get a tube to us, Cole?

Oh, everything okay?

Anybody else, Herca?

Only me.

What can I do for you, Mr. Hayward?

Well, it's selfish, isn't it?

We miss people most when we need them most.

Are we all like that?

We're none of a saint.

Seems only five minutes since the...

If I had a problem, I was surrounded by people I could take it to.

It was me, Dad.

God knows I didn't get much sense out of it.

It was me, Dad.

God knows I didn't get much sense out of him towards the end.

Ellen, God bless her.

Oh, and?

Here.

Blake's the only one left now.

I can't say two words to him without scrapping.

What's waiting here?

You remember that girl, Martha Blaze.

Jack Blaze's widow.

She works here in the club.

Bevacious looking girl, big eyes.

Yeah.

Won't care and she...

Yes.

Yes, there were.

I was a guinea to start with because, well, he was still alive, a husband, and it wasn't right.

Look, here went down to London because of her.

Jack died.

The pair of them were free to do what they wanted and he went off down to London.

He never said why, but I'll stake my life, it was because of her.

Any road.

Last night, I stuck me or I poked my finger into a couple of lives.

I gave her my ticket for the coach, I told her to go to London and fetch him back.

For you or for herself?

For both of us. She's right for him.

I want him back here where I can see him and touch him and get the strength from him that I can't get from our Blake.

He is happy. I was telling the true back.

I pay your as happy as he can be.

All the same as wrong was a lot. I played God. I ought to just let him get on and live in their own lives.

Oh, if I know that young lady, she wouldn't let anybody play God with her.

I thought I think she'd give God himself for a really hard time.

You reckon she wanted to go?

She wouldn't have gone if she hadn't.

She ain't off the mission all day.

Excuse me. Tell me where this is.

And you're that's it over there.

Just over there. Thank you.

You have no interest to me, people like you.

You just like telling other people how to behave. Well, put your money away. Your mouth is here.

It's up to you.

Come in.

Come in.

Hello.

How are you?

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Heywood. How are you?

I'm sorry, how are you?

Oh, sorry. Thank you.

And Emil, how's that big grandson of mine?

He's very well. You will see him next week. He has holidays.

Oh, yes. Blake was saying that you're not going far. Are you? Not in this.

Oh, no. I'm only looking for this club where I can find Mrs. Barrington. Perhaps you can help me.

Oh, yes. Yes, you can. You go down that giggle there. The entry. The passage.

Yes.

Turn left at the bottom. It's on the right hand side.

Lovely. Thank you. And the moment Emil comes, I will bring him to see you.

Yes, you do that. Oh, go into the side door. It's open.

Oh, thank you.

Father, did you want to see me? Is it too late for you?

No, no, no. Come on through.

Come in, sit down. He's about your permit. Is it due for me, you're already?

No, no. There's something else, sir.

You don't know how to say this to you.

I need your help.

As a member of Parliament.

No, no, as a woman.

As the only woman in the world who can help you.

John has asked me to marry him.

What's that thing?

Are you surprised? No?

Yes. Yes, I suppose I'm surprised.

That first day when I came to England, there was not much friendship between us.

I hope things are better now. I have not changed.

I'm still the same person. There was very much in me then that was not

simple to the English way of life.

You are surprised I can attract a man such as John?

Good heavens, no.

I am surprised that he should have asked you to marry him.

Well, he's still legally married. I would have thought he was more.

Formal, but now.

There are reasons.

Marriage to an Englishman who solved your nationality problem.

But I suppose you're here to ask me to release him as soon as possible.

I've already told him. I would. I told him only today.

I did not know that.

And that is not why I'm here. I'm here to ask you if I should marry him.

Can I tell you a story?

Of course.

When I was in Germany at the end of the war, I was living in a little town called Aranze.

Aranze and Altmaq. And there were English soldiers there.

Then one day we heard that Churchill and Stalin had drawn a line down Germany

that the English soldiers would have to go to the Western zone and the Russians

come to Aranze.

Many of the English soldiers had German sweethearts.

And when the day came that they had to go, they dressed the sweethearts

and the clothes they wore and their tank suits.

And they took some wisdom to the West.

And there was a young English captain.

He was a very kind man.

He asked me to go with him, but I said no.

Many women becomes a prisoner of kind men.

I see where you've come to me.

I want to need it.

Someone who cared less for me, who would let me live the kind of life I wanted to live, who wouldn't bleed.

Every time I was hurt.

And John is not that kind of man.

I can't answer these questions for you.

Thank you.

Guess what?

What?

We won.

Is this what it's going to be like when we're married?

You were rushing off to see whether your football teams were not.

It's going to be wonderful when we're married.

Get back on.

It's going to be wonderful.

I need you run away from me.

Shall I tell you?

You like all men.

If someone's given to you on a plate, you don't want to.

And that's what I was, wasn't I?

Given to you on a plate.

This is what Jack wanted.

You and me together, like this.

But because he wanted it, it was wrong.

I thought you ran away.

It wasn't just that, and you know damn well it wasn't.

I want to marry you.

I want to.

Not because Jack wants me to, but because I want to.

And you thought I couldn't see that?

Yeah, could you?

It was always Jack that mattered, wasn't it?

You said to me that he was the only real man you'd ever know.

Well, I'll make a man of you.

Anyways, that's the most you're going to do when we're married.

Put me up on everything I say.

I want to marry you.

And you got that straight.

I've got to get up before that pally-yorse comes back.

It's a bit late for that.

Yeah, that's the first time I've seen a black man close to.

Not far away for that matter.

It's fully somehow seen a black man with two open sufficient chips.

What do you want with your chips, coconut?

It'll be silly.

What was it anyway?

Skate.

Skate?

They don't know any better down here.

Oh God, I'm going to be glad to get home.

Oh, well, I'll let you come down here to get famous.

I've always got to come back with me.

Famous?

I shouldn't think that's likely.

You look like a fallen woman.

I went to bed with your Blake.

When?

About, erm...

I don't know.

It doesn't matter.

I don't know why.

Yes, Lou.

I wanted him.

Not him.

Someone.

Sounds reasonable.

You've got an incredible capacity for punishing yourself.

That's something you're going to have to give up.

I'll stop picking you up in every word if you stop ripping yourself or every sin on God's Earth.

Now, get your clothes on.

Okay?

Mm, why shouldn't it be?

No reason, my friend.

I've got good news.

We'd stunt and win 18 points to 10.

I know.

I went out for a paper.

You went with a beautiful woman.

They don't know what to do with these white men.

You don't deserve this.

I bring wine.

Wine?

What sort of wine?

I don't know.

Wine, wine.

We celebrate.

Unless.

We celebrate.

Daddy's ready.

What do you want to call him that for?

Well, he is, isn't he?

Yeah, so what do you do if I call you one?

I'd like your bloody eye for you.

Hey.

Hey, what about that driver, l?

What about that?

Johnny Lawrence, are they?

They have a sign.

What?

They have a sign.

They have a sign.

They have a sign.

They have a bloody sign.

Are you looking after them?

Somebody better, aren't they?

Why do I always get landed with him?

I don't even know what with him.

I don't even know what with him.

Sure.

You'll have to please on this.

You're all ready.

Ted, man.

Put yourself together.

Ted, man.

Ted, man.

Ted, man.

Ted, man.

Ted, man.

Ted, man.

Ted, man.

Ted, man.

We're gonna go.

We're gonna soulhole.

That's where we'll go.

We'll get ourselves a taxi.

Hey, that's it.

Come on, man.

Go on, man.

Go on, man.

I can't.

What?

I've got someone to go.

You're gonna lose him.

Come on.

Come on, man.

Yeah, dawg.

Dawg.

Go on, man.

Go on, man.

Go on, man.

Go on, man.

Go on, man.

Go on, man.

Go on.

Go on, man.

If I hadn't have come, would you have stayed here?

I've never gone back home.

I suppose so.

That wouldn't have been any reason to come home with it.

Did you ever think of me?

Not again.

No, not again.

Who do you favor?

You know what your dad said?

What?

He said,

the only thing that would bring you back

was what got shut to be in first place.

He's a clever lad, my dad.

When did he say that?

Last night.

He gave me his share of ticket.

It's all coming out now, isn't it?

Why didn't he come himself?

Well, it'd be nice to go to.

Why? What's too, isn't it?

No, to worry about.

He just didn't feel up to it, that's all.

I was being selfish.

I wanted to be sure if you did come back, it was for me.

Well, now you know.

Mm.

Are you satisfied?

Mm.

There was never anything else with your Blake.

Not since that one night, never.

Nothing.

Am I going to get this for breakfast, dinner and tea for the rest of me life?

It's over.

Done with.

Alright?

I'll remember it.

I'll wake up in the night and remember it, but it won't make the slightest bit of difference.

I love you now.

I love you there.

Are we going to get back?

Catch a train tomorrow.

Not much to take.

Type right a few odds and ends.

Look at me rent a coal mill.
