Your parents must be delighted. Nice boy. Good family.

I'm ready.

Where's he gone?

Daddy, what have you said to him?

Jeremy asked you, and you said yes.

Jeremy's father asked YOU, and YOU said yes.

He's gone to London.

Ridley Road. Call yourself Evans, not Epstein.

Don't let anyone know you're Jewish.

I'm looking for Jack Morris.

What secretarial college are you attending?

No, I'm a hairdresser.

Take this.

I'm not a political person. Yes, you are.

The Jews are the saboteurs of Europe.

Perish, Judah!

Jack?

I do bad things to bad people.

Agh!

We haven't heard from Jack.

You have no idea how to get to him?

Colin Jordan and his NSM thugs are dangerous.

What if he had a girl?

She could just turn up unexpectedly.

Ask a few innocent questions.

Miss Carpenter. Mr Jordan. Such a pleasure to meet you at last.

I'd like to thank you for all the hard work you're doing

for the people of this country.

It's the people of this country who work hard for little gain.

I'm merely a mouthpiece.

DOOR SLAMS, SHE GASPS

FOOTSTEPS

The sound of heavy boots can be a little incessant in this building.

My apologies.

We should imitate the Indian shaman and insist on bare feet.

Although I'm not sure that would go down too well with the lads.

HE CHUCKLES

I won't keep you long.

I'm just here to enquire about Peter Fox.

About his whereabouts.

I'm his friend,

you see, and I haven't heard from him in a while.

Friend?

Yes.

Well...

Lucky Peter.

I just wondered if he was all right.

I assure you, he's all right, Miss Carpenter.

It's just...

..I understand the nature of the work you do,

and the forces that make that work difficult.

Please don't worry.

It is my life's work to protect this nation, and that includes my men.

I take my role very seriously.

I just wondered if you could share where he is.

So where in Manchester did you grow up?

Manchester, sir? Yes.

Er, near Castlefield.

Near Peter.

Yes.

I see.

And your parents? Your father?

He's a postman.

He was a postman.

My mother's a housewife.

They met at church.

Well, tell him to give me a call and we can get him involved

in our Manchester division.

Thank you so much for stopping by, Miss Carpenter.

Mr Jordan, it would so put my mind at ease

if you could share how Peter is.

Oh, goodness, sir.

We all have wounds to some extent.

Just the nature of what we do.

The sacrifices we make.

Do you have wounds, Miss Carpenter?

Deep wounds that define you?

I'm not sure I understand.

I'm not fooled for a second.

You have the most intelligent eyes I've ever seen.

Just like my mother.

I'm finding this terribly exciting.

You've come all this way to knock on my door...

It's not just young love, is it?

Maybe it is. Who am I to pry?

Well...

..to be frank, sir, I... I do have wounds, as you put it.

I carry the pain of seeing my father and my grandfather,

both dedicated servicemen of the RAF, be...

..well, discarded by this country.

I see the coloured men that have taken my father's job.

I see the Negro hooligan that terrorises my family's community,

where they once lived in peace and civility.

I see the blood of foreigners mix with the blood of my countrymen.

And I know that Peter needs me in this fight.

Of course, I'm just a girl...

..and I can't make a contribution in the same way a man might, but...

..my concern,

my dedication is

I have to be involved in this fight in some way.

It's not about Peter and I.

It's bigger than us.

I can't explain it, really.

I have to know where Peter is so that I can help him in his work

to get Britain back.

Please.

Lee?

Sir? I think we'd better take this young lady on a drive.

Keep walking. I am walking.

Keep going. Keep going where? Why are you following me?

Because I want you off this street now.

You want me off the street? I'm on a public highway.

That's what I'm doing. Now move.

Go on.

ENGINE STARTS

Shit.

HORN BLARES

You're having a laugh, ain't ya?

Get back to Stepney, you sneaky yid! This ain't your turf!

Why don't you do one, you Paddy's son?

I'd stay in that car if I was you!

Arseholes!

Yes, yes. Yes, David. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, of course I did.

I bought her a ticket for the morning train, but she, er...

..she refused. Yeah, but, David, listen.

David, just try and calm... David, calm down.

All right. Uh-huh. Yeah.

He's having a right mare.

How could you lose her, Dad?

How could you let her out of your sight? Enough of that.

I'm going straight in the centre, stake it out.

This is all we need.

Come on! You're going to have to be stronger than this. Move yourself!

Two, three!

Come on, get over it!

Don't help him! Don't help him!

Wh-Where are we?

You want to see Peter, don't you?

Come on.

Don't look so frightened.

Daddy! Look what I caught.

I put in a leaf for his tea.

Aw, marvellous.

Sorry, sir, he just took off.

It's fine for him to run about.

Who's this?

HE WHISPERS

Follow Elise. I'll be with you shortly.

This way.

Is this Mr Jordan's house?

On our membership subs and his teacher's salary?

I don't think so.

So, whose house is it?

Look, Lee won't like me talking.

It's the Duke of Westwick.

He's loaned it to us for their training.

It's ever so exciting.

When are you due?

November.

Congratulations.

You forget about the sickness.

Forget about your hair falling out.

Look... So it's not your first?

I have something that could help.

I'm a hairdresser.

SHOUTING OUTSIDE

Oh, it's just blokes doing their exercises.

So, are you courting Peter, then?

I don't blame you if you are.

He's a looker.

Don't tell my Lee I said so!

Where did Mr Jordan get to?

Do you think he'll be long? Here...

Look at your coat.

Fancy much!

I like the butterfly patch.

Oh. I sewed it myself.

It's not hard.

My dad's a tailor and...

Your dad taught you? Mm.

Well, that's nice.

The only thing my old man ever taught me was how to rob and drink

and avoid the law, so...

Here, I'd better get a move on with these pasties for tomorrow.

I've got to get 'em done.

They bury 'em quick.

Bury who quick?

Oh, no, the blooming flour's gone sticky.

Elise, who buries who quick?

If it don't go well, I'll get it, won't I?

Lee says they don't need a packed lunch,

but what else am I going to do with myself?

Are the lads planning something?

Elise! My flutterby, I've scared it.

Oh!

Let's calm him down, shall we?

He's hurting himself.

Well, if we put a tea towel around it, it'll think it's night.

Will it die?

Not if you punch some holes in it for it to breathe.

It doesn't know it's trapped.

Jane?

Jane!

Sorry.

Distracted.

Pack it away by four, Jason.

Yes, sir.

Push 'em right down the back. Such a beautiful house.

Not ours, sadly. Loaned to us every few months. Oh.

I managed to get a few days' training out of it.

Generous gentleman.

The Duke of Westwick?

I saw the crest in the hall.

Ah...

Nothing gets by you, does it?

Listen, it looks worse than it is.

Look... Please don't worry.

He'll be absolutely fine.

We're taking care of him, all right?

Just don't panic him, will you?

Peter!

There's someone here to see you.

Thank you.

Peter, it's me, Jane.

Hello, Jane.

What a nice surprise.

Don't strain yourself, old boy.

Did Mr Jordan bring you here?

Yes, I went to pay him a visit, and he very kindly drove me to you.

Oh, how kind of him.

Thank you, sir.

You needn't have gone to the trouble.

Ain't it fancy here, Jane?

Very.

Well, you should get Mr Jordan to walk you round the rose garden.

Apparently it's quite the picture.

Well, I'll be outside.

Perhaps we could keep the visiting hours

on the shorter side, Miss Carpenter.

Still a long way on the road to recovery.

Of course.

You can't do this.

I can, Jack.

Come back with me.

Please.

I can't let you stay here with these animals.

Shh.

You think you can come here with your best Marilyn impression

and seduce these nutters out of their views?

No. Who put you up to it?

Soly? Ronnie? Did they tell you to do all this?

No, actually, it was my idea.

I just want to get you out of here.

Paul, let my friends get back to work, please.

You show me.

A butterfly.

They're deranged.

They'll eat you for breakfast.

They killed a yeshiva boy.

Did you know that?

Of course I did.

What happened to you?

Is one of them onto you?

Do they suspect? No. They don't suspect.

And I've got to keep it that way.

Tell Sol it was just an accident.

I'm good. I'm still good.

I've so much to ask you. Yes, lock it, please.

So much I need to know. Don't let me keep you!

Load it right away. Very good.

Well...good luck with your recovery, Peter.

DOOR OPENS

How are we getting on?

All done, sir.

Nice to see you.

Goodbye, Peter.

Goodbye, Jane.

Look at the size of it.

Street in the sky they're calling it.

I've seen 'em shooting up all through Bow.

Looks like a crematorium, if you ask me.

All that concrete with little coffins inside.

I feel buried alive.

Mrs Jones, the council have made up their minds. You'll have to go.

Besides, you're one of the last English ladies left on the street.

What is there to stay for?

This is my home. I raised my boys here.

I've done it nice.

How am I supposed to pack up 60 years?

I'll help you if...

..there's a cup of tea in it.

Come on.

Here you go, ladies.

Thanks. I've got an early start tomorrow.

It's a huge house. Huge.

I have never seen anything like it.

The duke lends it to them for training.

I always knew the Duke of Westwick was a shyster.

That's why I don't like toffs, riding around on their horses,

sniffing up pheasants.

Sniffing up pheasants? Yeah, yeah.

Whatever it is they do, I don't know,

but I do know that there's fascists in those mansions.

The Royal Family... All right, all right, Soly.

Now, Vivien, did they tell you the purpose of the house?

Yes. For training.

Were there men training in the house, Vivien?

Yes, on the lawn.

There were men doing exercises.

How many?

How many?! A dozen? Two dozen?

Yes, about that. Which is it?

About 15 I saw.

Maybe more. Spearhead. It's Spearhead.

What's that? Jordan's been eyeing up his own paramilitary force,

but we weren't sure if he had the numbers or the equipment.

But now he's got the duke backing him, he's got his own blooming army.

And that's how we'll get them.

Who else was there, Vivien?

Erm... A boy.

Paul, Colin's son.

Yeah. A girl.

Sweet, strange.

I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong with her.

She seemed so harmless at first and then, "Bury their dead quick,"

she said. Casual as you like.

Rolling out pastry for some operation they were planning.

It's the yeshiva boy, isn't it?

His funeral?

Are you sure, Vivien? I think so.

No. Think very carefully, Vivien. This could be dangerous.

She said, "They bury their dead quick."

The boys were preparing for something.

Well, don't you think that this is a little nugget

that you could have opened on?

All right, Soly. Don't distress the girl.

So they ARE planning to cause a disturbance, and now we know. Hm?

So I'm going to drop over to the Oppenheims'

and we'll change the location of the boy's funeral.

Vivien, you should be very proud of yourself.

You've done a great mitzvah today.

Oi, what are you doing?

He needs backup.

And none of those commie drips, Ronnie.

I want proper men who ain't afraid to break a nail.

Now, you see 'em out there safe and then you make yourself scarce.

You, come with me.

We'll get word. We'll find you when we need you. Go.

That's it. Keep up. Come on, move.

Go on, catch him up.

MUFFLED VOICES

Lads.

Oh, hello, sir.

Hope you don't mind,

thought I'd give this Strength Through Joy book a try.

Under the Reich, the Fuhrer sent 22,000 families to the theatre

for the first time.

He wanted to elevate 'em through art. Ain't that wonderful?

Indeed.

Anything the matter, sir?

I'm onto you, Peter Fox.

Thank you so much. Not at all, not at all. Right.

Well, goodbye for now. Cheerio.

Oh, you must be the lodger.

Yes. Terrible what they're doing to our elderly.

Look after her, won't you?

Oh!

You gave me the fright of my life.

You look like a movie star.

Thank you.

They've given me no choice, the council.

I have to go, else they'll bulldoze me down with the bricks and mortar.

Be a dear and box up them frames, will you?

You obviously offended the young girl.

She ran off all on her own.

So...

..what are your intentions?

She's a nice girl, but...

Nah, not my type.

Well...

..think carefully before you waste a woman's best years.

She's obviously besotted by you,

to come down from Manchester and seek you out.

Well, I doubt that's the case, sir.

She probably came to meet you.

People have a lot of respect for you.

I don't think you're quite aware.

Hm.

Hmm.

Yes, well, it is hard to find nice ladies who are, er,

understanding of the cause.

She seemed most enlightened.

It's unusual in someone so young.

Well, look. Just, er, be careful, hm?

Don't let distractions get in the way.

We're making progress, and I need everyone to be fighting fit, hm?

Yep. That is all.

Will do, sir.

There's a bedroom for you.

I can make it nice till you get a place of your own.

Don't worry. I'm not going to throw you out on the street.

Thank you.

That gentleman seemed lovely.

Mr Burns.

He's ever so considerate.

Life and soul of the community group.

Here.

Wrap these up for me, will you?

Yeah.

15th floor they're putting me.

Apparently there's a view,

but I'll miss stepping out to the pavement, won't I?

They say there's a lift, but my friend Vera was stuck

on the 17th floor, and her lift's never worked a single day

she's been there.

Mrs Jones...

..we can speak, frankly, can't we?

Of course we can. We get on well, you and me.

You're a lovely tenant.

Would you mind not telling anyone about me?

It's to do with my fiance.

My ex-fiance.

He could easily cause trouble for me, so I just want to lie low.

Just for a bit.

I understand.

You have my word.

Sounds a total monster, your ex. Dangerous.

Very dangerous indeed.

Jeremy hasn't been sleeping. None of us have been sleeping.

We can't sleep.

Well, what can I say?

She seems to have r-really...

..embraced London theatre.

She probably just needs a little time.

She's 23. She doesn't have time.

Tell them, Jeremy.

Tell them our decision.

Yes, er, right.

It's a bit of a tricky one, really, but the thing is...

..Dad has decided to let me manage the commercial properties.

Hand them over in...in my name.

Oh, mazel tov. What a responsibility.

It's about expanding our portfolio as well as my bank investments.

It makes sense to keep the rents running all under the...

..family umbrella, as it were.

So what are you saying? You're, er...

..going to be my landlord now, is it?

Oh, no. No. No, no, no, no, no. Nothing like that.

I know Dad wouldn't dream of charging family money for rent,

and I plan on being exactly the same when we're family.

But if, for some strange reason, we don't end up being family...

..well, then we go back to a commercial arrangement.

I have to warn you, David,

it is very expensive where you are.

It's a prime location. DOOR OPENS

Hello!

Er... She might need...

Just one moment.

We can't afford those expensive rents. Your dad knows that.

We wouldn't be able to keep our heads above water

if it wasn't for your dad.

Well, then, maybe your daughter should give that some thought.

Maybe in an interval of Bernard Shaw over some peanut brittle.

You're very late home, Roza.

Sorry, I had more errands to do now Vivien's away.

I've got your lunch boxes.

Well, she'll be back soon.

Did you lock up all right?

Yes. Everything is in its place.

Don't worry.

CHATTER IN NEXT ROOM

The clients are still here, then?

Hm.

Uncle...

Nothing.

Mind the gap!

RADIO: We grasp at straws, as if knowing how she died, or why,

might enable us to bring her back.

Whatever attracts men to women, she possessed.

Marilyn Monroe was this year's sex symbol.

Did you do that yourself, Vivien?

Looks terrific. For this reason, if no other, she WAS important.

She spent her early years cared for by people who were paid to do so

in orphanages and foster homes,

born Norma Jean out of wedlock by a mother who didn't want her...

All right. All right. I've heard enough.

Turn it off, will you, Vivien? Chrissy, put a record on, please?

UPBEAT POP SONG PLAYS

You'd be out on your ear if my mum found out.

I'm sorry? I don't...

You paid the NSM a visit.

You followed me?

Yeah, I did.

Well, why would you do that?

You have no right to follow me. Who were you seeing?

Was it Colin Jordan? Does he impress you, or something?

No. You need to be careful, you do.

He's a wrong'un in more ways than one.

New to town, don't know anyone,

caught in the middle of a fascist march. Who are you?

Who are you, really?

Oh, don't mind me.

Oh, I love this song.

Devious little snakes!

You want us to smash it up?

Nah. Nah. Come on, let's go.

I told 'em you weren't coming, Sol. What's the matter?

I just want to wish him long life.

I know. I don't think it's a good idea, my love.

It's not that they blame you, it's just...

Look, he's being buried in peace. That's something at least, Sol.

What'd the police say?

They're not interested.

I reckon Jordan's cronies are giving Jack dodgy intel.

Why else would they tell him it was just an assessment

and then turn up fully armed?

That kid died on my watch, Nance.

If I'd have done something...

If I would have brought more men...

Those bastards are winning.

They're winning, and it's killing me.

Waste of time!

Hold up.

She was a rotten old trollop who killed her babies with drink.

And that's the truth they won't print.

Her mother didn't want her, and she sold her body to the highest bidder.

A bed-bouncer, ain't no two ways about it.

I mean, do I feel sorry for the girl? Of course I do.

But you have to think she brought it on herself.

Viv!

You've got to be more thorough with the colour.

Sorry. Vivien? Someone's asking for you to do their set and style.

Hello.

Hello.

Would you like to take a seat here? Yeah, ta.

Sad about Marilyn, innit?

Yes.

I loved her in Some Like It Hot.

Those blokes as birds, weren't it a scream?

Going anywhere nice for your holidays?

Yeah, Portugal. Ooh. You?

Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll get to Scarborough with my family.

Oh, nice. Never been there myself.

Oh, no! Her teeth.

They're far too white.

What do you think? I'd love to have teeth like that.

Would you? Have another look.

You know what I heard, why Marilyn loved making movies?

She said that when the camera's on you,

it's like being with 10,000 men all at once, but not getting pregnant.

Hello, Vivien.

Vivien, thanks to you,

a grieving mother could bury her son without harassment.

A true mitzvah. You sorted us out back there.

You're a natural, sweetheart. Yeah.

Now we've got to turn our attention to your other little discovery,

Colin Jordan's army of bandits. Spearhead? Precisely.

If we can get evidence of their funds or their arms

or how they train, we can get them prosecuted

for being a paramilitary force.

Come here, Vivien.

Now, this is a simple task.

Now you see that little chap? Mm-hm.

That is a cavity transmitter.

Now, you are going to help Jack plant that wherever Jordan works,

in his library or in his study. Jack'll know what to do.

I don't know the first thing about...

No, no, no, no, it's easy-peasy, love.

Even Nancy's done one. Well, that was with her sisters,

which is sort of cheating, but... Look, if we get this right,

we can transmit everything they say onto this recording device.

We can take the tapes to Special Branch.

So when do you want me to go in, exactly?

Tonight? We've got to get ahead of them, Vivien.

We've got to stop them. Every second counts here.

Have you told my dad you're sending me back in?

Well, don't worry about your old man.

Me and him, we've got an agreement.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do, Vivien.

If you want to go back to your family,

of course we'll take you.

But the bug will help with Jack, he can get messages to us.

Exactly. Yeah, all right, boychik.

No, this ain't about Jack no more. If you're here to get him out,

you can forget about it. You saw it. He don't want out.

He's in for the long haul, injury or no injury.

No, no, no, this is about you.

This is about who YOU are.

How is this anything to do with who I am?

Well, are you anti-fascist or are you not?

Of course I am. I don't agree with their views.

I find them utterly despicable. No, no, no.

You misunderstand the question. Anyone can find views objectionable.

No, it doesn't matter whether you're non-racist

or you're non-fascist. No, it only matters whether you are anti.

You see, the question is not whether you can sit in your salon,

filing your nails and shaking your head at the wireless,

and then you switch it off and you carry on with the same old routine.

The question is, what do we do when we switch off that wireless,

when that programme ends?

An anti-fascist fights.

An anti-fascist does.

Tell us. You overcame great fear back then to enter those premises

and follow those men and to share with us invaluable intelligence,

and after you overcame all those fears and you reached us,

how did you feel?

Honestly? Yeah.

I felt...

..bloomin' fantastic!

I don't want to get in between anyone, honestly, but maybe

it's time you...

..you found out what he is doing.

Where Uncle goes when he's on business.

Come on.

GLASSES CLINK AND DRINK POURS

There you are. Thank you.

I heard your speech.

I don't quite know what to say.

I have never been so inspired in all my life.

Well, it's not really a place for a lady.

Boys tend to get quite het up.

SHE LAUGHS

That's just because they're impassioned,

because you speak so truthfully.

From the heart.

Well...

..I mean every word.

I believe in our final destiny and the triumph

of National Socialism.

Do you?

Yes.

Are you frightened of me?

No.

Then what is it, hm? This look you give me.

What is it?

I'm so embarrassed.

Peter doesn't care for me one jot.

SHE SNIFFLES

I should have known when he went quiet that

he wasn't interested.

HE SHUSHES

There, there.

DOOR OPENS

Daddy.

What is it?

My flutterby.

It's not moving.

I think it's dead.

Oh, go to bed.

Now, look, it's very late.

How about I tuck you in?

We can check on your butterfly.

I mean, your flutterby.

RAPID BREATHS

He doesn't want to go to school.

He's teased.

I never know what to say to him.

But you do. You're very good with him.

He's a very sweet boy.

It's long been a...

Er, how can I put it? Not a dream.

But a desire to sit up all night and talk politics

with a beautiful young woman.

What you said to me in my office yesterday...

..I've been thinking about it all day.

What you've seen, the sadness you carry in your heart.

The humiliation of your father.

I've been thinking about it quite considerably.

Thank you.

Er...

I'm sorry I got a bit excited.

No, don't.

No, no, no.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be improper.

THEY CHUCKLE

I forgive you.

But I...

I do want you to talk with me...

..and sit with me.

Be with me.

That's all.

I wanna be loved by you

Just you and nobody else but you

I wanna be loved by you alone!

Boop-boop-a-doop!

DOOR CLOSES

..I wanna be kissed by you

Just you And nobody else but you

I wanna be kissed by you alone!

I couldn't aspire

To anything higher

Than to fill the desire

To make you my own

Boop-boop-a-doop Boop-boop-a-booh!

I wanna be loved by you

Just you And nobody else but you

I wanna be loved by you alone...
