I'm sorry, I made a promise
to Alec many years ago.
356
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,240
Let me explain.
357
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,958
Here we are.

363

It was all a lie.

Everything Alec told me.
365
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,680
I have no idea what you can add...
366
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,440
...but I know that Alec was sacked
in 1942 for lying.
367
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,960
He was sacked for telling
the truth, Mrs Wilson.
368
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:45,878
There was a group of agents in MI5
369
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,878
who wanted control of Alec's
phone line to the Egyptian embassy.
370
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,838
Why? Couldn't they just
read his transcripts?
371
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,720
Don't assume everyone in the service
was on the same side.
372
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:05,118
You think that Alec was set up
by a double agent working in MI5?
373
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:06,320
I don't think so.
374
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,158
I know it.
375
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,478
Why?
376
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,678
They said that Alec
was fabricating material,
377
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,718
so they could sack him.
378
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,158
Why?
379
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:18,758
With their own man on the line,
380
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,720
they could send intelligence
straight through to Moscow.
381
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,678
But how could they do that?
382
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,638
How could they smear Alec like that?
383
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:32,758

he didn't help himself, you see?

These are all the letters
Alec wrote pleading his case.
410

But as soon as he made progress,

they framed him -
planted stolen goods on him.

You surely can't believe that
he was capable of theft?

00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,560
What have you got there?
533
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,278
Just found it.
534
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,480
Shoved right to the back
of Mum's wardrobe.
535
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,200
It must be the only photo she kept.
536
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,280
Come on. Susan'll kill me if she
goes into labour before I get back.

Oh, Deborah. Oh!
540
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,438
She's gorgeous.
541
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,280
Can I?
542

Sh, sh.
543
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,278
Hello.
544
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,038
Oh, you're gorgeous. Yes, you are.
545
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,800
Deborah.
546
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,360
Thank you for bringing her to meet me.
547
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,598
I know I shut you out.
548
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,118
I had to.
549
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:17,560
I'm sorry.
550
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,598
I'm splitting the proceeds of
the house between the two of you.
551
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,720
- Mum...
- No, I want to help you each buy a place of your own.
552
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,518
I won't have your children
growing up as you did.
553
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,198
It's all right, we can sort ourselves.
554
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,358
No, I've already arranged
the bank transfer.
555
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,240
But what will you live on?
556
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,040
- I don't need anything.
- Not now.
557
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,800
I didn't want to tell you
until I was sure, but...
558
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:46,680
...I've decided to stay here for good.
559
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:50,318
No, it's good news.
560
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,358
I've found peace.
561
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,920
As long as you're happy?
562
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,118
I am.
563
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:58,758
It's all right.
564
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,680
We'll still meet and talk.
565
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:04,960
Bye-bye.
566
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,640
I found this, in case you want it.

00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,560
Bless you. Come here.

Look after yourself, love. Hm?
569
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,600
When Deborah grows up,
what will I tell her about Dad?
570
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,200
Take care, love.
571
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,398
Hello.
572
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,798
How kind of you to meet me
after all this time.
573
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,118
How are you?
574
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:24,438
Mmm.
575
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:25,918
And Gordon and Nigel?
576
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,558
We're fine.
577
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:28,960
We're all fine.
578
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,320
- Gordon's just had a baby, actually.
- Ah.
579
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,558
She's got the Wilson eyes.
580
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,240
Yes, she has.
581
00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:47,078
Deborah.
582
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:48,960
A new cousin for my two kids.
583
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,840
Do you ever wish you hadn't
found out about us?
584
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,440
No.
585
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,158
I'd rather know the truth.
586
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,920
Who Dad really was.
587
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,560
I've just kept it from them for so long.
588
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:27,320
You're a good mother.
589
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:29,880
They will understand.
590
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,160
What's on your mind?
591
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,558
How can I give myself to God
592
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,558
while I'm being dishonest
with my children?
593
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:46,920
What do you mean?
594
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,640
There's still so much
I haven't told them about Alec.
595
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,400
Well, then, it's time to talk to them.
596
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,758
I know.
597
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,400
And I want to, I just...
598
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,160
It has to be done the right way.
599
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,920
With kindness, compassion.
600
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,400
You're asking me
how you can forgive Alec?
601
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,440
Understanding comes first, Alison...
602
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,080
...then forgiveness.
603
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,918
You must have spent time with Alec
when he was a young man.
604
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,360
Yes, of course.
605
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:55,960
How did you know him?
606
00:47:57,240 --> 00:48:00,918
I'm sorry, I just never quite understood
his connection to this house.
607
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:04,078
Oh, it was used as a military
hospital during both wars.
608
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,878
Alec convalesced here
when he came back from the Somme.
609
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:12,000
Just a teenager when he arrived
back from the front, poor lad.
610
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,080
We were all terribly fond of him.
611
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:20,920
We'd be in here on our break
and hear him crying out.
612
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,158
He was very low.
613
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,040
The things he'd seen...
614
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:29,960
He had nightmares his whole life.
615
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,478
I used to read to him,
take his mind off it.
616
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,080
Romances, mysteries, you name it.
617
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,958
We went through
the whole night sometimes.
618
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:46,200
And then, a doctor
brought him in a typewriter.
619
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,398
And that was it.
620
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,080
- He started writing here?
- Mm.
621
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,358
A story about a young officer.
622
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,638
Can you remember any of it?
623
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,158
Well, it was a bit of a fantasy, really.
624
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,078
This chap saved all his men...
625
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,200
helped win the war.
626
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:10,800
Oh, now, then. What was it called?
627
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,158
He led his soldiers
over the highest mountains,
628
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:20,158
across the widest rivers,
marching onwards.
629
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,278
March, march, march, march to victory!
630
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:23,920
The March To Victory.
631
00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:27,238
That's it.
632
00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:30,398
He started eating again.
633
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:31,838
Walking in the garden.
634
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,040
He came back to life. It was remarkable.
635
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,120
Did he ever tell you
how writing helped him?
636
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,518
He said it took away
the fear inside him.
637
00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:51,079
And he could fiddle with a story,
give it a happy ending.
638
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:54,840
Did he carry on with the fiction?
639
00:49:57,720 --> 00:49:59,280
Until the very end.
640
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,080
"My dear Gordon and Nigel.
641
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:19,280
"This is the true story of our life.
642
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,958
"I've wanted to tell you for so long,
643
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:24,838
"but the truth is complicated
644
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:27,638
"and it felt kinder to keep it from you.
645
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,038
"But the lies must end with me.
646
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:33,320
"Only with the truth can I tell
you that you have a greater family.
647
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,318
"And how can I deprive you of that?
648
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:41,038
"The chance to get to know
your own flesh and blood.
649
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:46,158
"Maybe, when the hurt has faded,
you will find your brothers.
650
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,118
"Or, in years to come, your children
will find their cousins
651
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:51,438
"and make friends.
652
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,918
"Perhaps some good can come of this."
653
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:55,558
And the Holy Spirit.
654
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,200
I, Alison Wilson...
655
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,758
...have lived the life of
the Servite Secular Institute
656
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:02,918
for three years...
657
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,160
"You must decide for yourselves
who your father really was.
658
00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:11,400
"But you should know that, with
God's help, I have forgiven him.
659
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,440
"I hope, one day, that
you may be able to do the same."
660
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,240
Therefore, I, Alison Wilson...
661
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,678
...vow to live...
662
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:29,480
in chastity, in poverty and obedience.
663
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,518
In the body of Christ.
664
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,080
Amen.
665
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,440
"This is the true story of our life.
666
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,720
"Never doubt that Dad loved you.
667
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,080
