So what do you think?

The boys will be desperate for a taste of home, won't they?

So I thought we could give them somewhere nice to sit,

It's at our London house.

So, how did it go?

[EXHALING]

Oh, thank God.

Mmm.

If the business is safe,

we can keep Evie at St. Anne's next year.

I know how expensive it is, but imagine if they're right.

She'll be set up, James. For life.

Miss Davies, I saw you come in.

I'll get you the rest tomorrow, I promise.

You said that yesterday.

Um, I've got nowhere else to go.

I can't help that, love.

Half of England will be turning up soon,

- and they'll pay for a room. - Please.

Will this cover it?

Thank you, Mrs. Fisher.

- I'll pay you back tomorrow. - No, whenever you can.

I'm sure we'll see a lot of each other this week.

If we survive the cull.

Thank you.

We could have found a summer a little more salubrious.

Violet Davies?

POLICE OFFICER: Unlicensed nightclubs.

Vices of the flesh.

We are entering a time of unprecedented

moral turmoil, Miss Davies.

Policing London requires a steady hand.

I understand, sir.

I speak for us all when I commend you

on your exemplary work in munitions.

However, whilst your application is certainly compelling,

we do have concerns over your suitability to serve.

My suitability?

POLICE OFFICER: To lose your sister in such

tragic circumstances.

It could affect your judgment,

and we cannot allow emotions to interfere with police work.

[SCREAMING]

That won't be a problem, sir.

TURNER: Whilst you were working in munitions,

your relationships with the other women

remained professional?

I'm not an invert, sir.

Good.

Because depravity of any kind will not be tolerated.

CAMPBELL: Miss Davies, if you pass selection,

you'll become one of the first

ten female police officers in this country.

Do you understand what a privilege that is?

You ask me if it's a privilege to join the police force.

It's not a privilege, it's a duty.

This is a competition, not a bake sale,
