Just look, another one.

Thanks again.

James I feel so recognise the car.

Oops!

Oh, quite right.

Oh, what's an idiot doing here?

Oh, Edwards talked them into letting him go home.

I had a few days leaving some petrol, so I volunteered to fetch him.

Is it a bit sudden, isn't it?

Yes, very.

I'll be, you know, Edward.

Somehow, he always gets his own way.

He didn't tell me you were coming.

He doesn't know.

Come on.

Edward?

Edward?

Do you want to get my letter?

Yes.

Yes, I did.

Do you know how long it took me to write that?

I've got a little bit of a glass in the letter.

What did you expect me to do?

Like back saying fine, quite understand.

It's all over. Thanks very much. See you when I see you.

More or less, yes.

Why not? That's a situation.

No, it's not.

You asked me to marry you.

I said I'd think about it.

Well, I have.

Judith, I'm going to be blind for the rest of my life.

I know.

It makes no difference.

Don't think it needs to.

Don't you think it might just make a difference to me?

Edward, I'm sorry.

That's the other thing.

Everybody's so bloody sorry for me the whole time.

I feel awful.

Never stop to think how he might have changed if he was worrying about how I have.

Have you?

Are you in love with Edward?

Don't be about the boost, do you?

Are you?

It's not just Edward. It's all of them. It's Nanchero.

That's not an answer.

I feel I belong there now.

With him. With them.

You still have an answer to my question.

It's all right, Pacman.

Darling.

Hello, Mum.

Welcome home, boy.

No pups.

Black market's sand, a femur.

Slandy, it's summer, I had lived over.

Crikey.

Any day now.

Hello, Edward.

They're likely.

Sorry.

Chin up.

Right.

Hey, good batch of bits. Back in your bed.

Light's open five minutes.

Welcome home, Master Edward.

Thank you, Dodson.

How are you?

Very up, Master Edward.

Jolly good.

I think I'll go straight up if that's all right, Mum.

Of course, darling. Do you want me to?

No. No.

Should be up to Mountage. Thank you.

Come on, Mum.

Come here, Mum's.

Look, no breakages. Close neatly folded.

You impressed?

Wildly. Used to hang them up on the floor.

What have you got here?

Milk and biscuits.

Sorry, Mrs. Dobson insisted. She's been saving up her rations.

Well, as long as you don't want to tuck man and read me about time's story.

Hardly my forte.

It's wonderful to have you home.

And I promise we won't try to help.

Dear old Mum's, you understand, don't you?

I think so.

Less of the old.

I'm going to say good night now.

Kiss me an order?

Just about, I should think.

Just try to hold on.

I'd eat those biscuits or I should be obliged to snuffle them up myself.

Good night, darling boy.

All right, Mum.

Take care.

Dude.

Gah!

Phew.

I think...

Tilt.

I'm sorry about this.

It's about the only thing I can't do for myself.

I did try. I cut myself to bloody ribbons.

Almost grabbed the air, I suppose.

I tried now.

Bloody awful.

Quite agree.

I had to go once.

Yeah.

Couldn't get on with it at all.

Still.

This is no good.

Give it another world tomorrow,

ask to end by and mop up the blood.

All done.

So, am I here?

Yeah.

Baby's buff him.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm here.

Darling Mums and Pops.

Darling Mums and Pops.

I think you'll understand.

I hope you will and forgive me.

When they told me I'd never see again,

I sort of made up my mind.

I should have died when I crashed.

I thought I was going to, and of course I was scared.

But in a funny way I didn't mind because it was for something I believed in.

I know it sounds awful,

but the war's been wonderful for me.

I've had a job to do.

I just can't face the prospect of being useless

and a burden to everyone.

Please try to feel that I died in action,

fighting for my country.

Because that's what I feel.

Thank you for the marvellous life you gave me.

Your loving son, Edward.

And, uh, he left this for Judas.

It's an awful lot to ask, but I...

Of course.

I'm driving my ship tomorrow. I can easily get that port up.

So she knows.

I'm sorry. I haven't felt up to telephoning her.

And love days come with a kiss.

It's all right. It's all right.

I'll take care of it. Leave it to me.

I feel I should have seen what was going on in his mind.

Nobody could have stopped him, Jeremy.

Nobody.

Edgar.

I do.

I wish to God,

He'd been more like you.

And less like me.

I hope I don't use.

Would you like to read it?

I'd like you to.

Do you think it was a cowardly thing to do?

No. I think it was incredibly brave.

Thank you for doing this, Jeremy. You've made it easier.

I'm afraid I have to go. Can we sail against an end?

I hate leaving you like this.

It's all right. I'm pretty scotter house here.

Shoulder to crown. You better go.

You're welcome. You too.

You're welcome.

Sorry, this can't come in here. It's government property.

It's all right, I own it. The house.

I'm staying up the road at Nancherry.

I just wanted to have a look.

Athena, do it again.

We weren't expecting you until you arrived.

How are you?

I've got an early train to Penzance.

There wasn't a taxi in sight, so I had to borrow this old bone shaker.

This is Clem. She's a little horror. I've got one of my wretched committees.

Rubs father died, so he's son now, and I'm lady.

For some reason, people think if you've got a handle, you must be frightfully good at organizing things.

I'm hopeless, of course.

Any news group?

I'm still in North Africa, loving every minute of it. I've got to go.

You'll find everyone there. Oh, Tommy's down.

See you tonight. Bye.

Hey, it's wonderful for me.

How are you?

Hi, how are you?

I think so. You remember Walter from home farm?

Of course.

How do?

We're running the whole place together.

We're a couple of land girls who are totally useless.

Not even pretty.

Even so. We're definitely winning the Walter the Allies, aren't we Walter?

Yeah, I reckon it was added.

Six tomorrow, we start the bailing.

Slave driver.

We gotcha.

Aah!

Aah!

Oh, give me a shot.

Aah!

Aah!

Aah!

Liss!

Aah!

Why isn't he in the army?

Water.

He failed his medical.

He had TB when he was a boy.

Then his father had an accident and had to retire from home farm.

So we're running it together.

I suppose I should be doing proper work.

You know, I mean munitions.

All the rent is like you.

How's it going?

All right.

Got a job at the Guvary School.

It's quite interesting.

We have to come up with new devices to train them into fire accurately.

Simulation, James, Macarlic and his that sort of thing.

And God's name's Anakin.

Anakin, and the aircraft gun.

Truth is, I'm being selfish as usual.

I just can't bear the thought of leaving Nanjiro.

Anyway, I'd be utterly hopeless.

Can you imagine me in the rent?

Truly terrifying thought.

Really terrifying thought.

Doing this from Dad?

He's still in Malaya.

He doesn't write much.

Except for the famous proposal.

Really, yes, I heard about that.

I'm washy.

It's priceless.

Classic gas.

Any men in your life?

No.

Not really.

Came by the Darrow House.

Nearly got arrested, wasn't it?

Everything's frightfully hush-hush.

Oh, look here.

Sherry.

Valdos been oh-two, courtesy of Tommy.

Tommy's madly important nowadays.

Where can Vincety's aspire?

Haven't said hello properly.

How nice to have you here again.

Well, there's a letter for you, Miss.

Thank you, Dobo.

I'd like to do with me at all.

Thomas discovered he's got miraculous powers.

Hello, Judith.

How lovely to see you.

Hello, Tommy.

What?

Glenn was creating Mary Hell, just wouldn't settle.

Tommy came in to see what the row was about.

My God, do I see Sherry?

Of course.

Just another one of my little miracles.

Anyway, Tommy said he'd sing her a lullaby.

Can you imagine?

Yes, well.

Do you know what?

In second, she was off.

I'd like a light.

You must get married immediately, Tommy, and her at least-turned-baby.

Oh, I think it's a little late for that.

Oh, dumson.

That's excellent.

Thank you, madam.

Was there something else, dumson?

I fear we have knits again, madam.

Oh, dear.

I am not one to complain, as you know, madam.

But when I go to considerable personal inconvenience,

to ensure that there is hot water for the young visitors,

I think somebody should insist they avail themselves of it.

Quite.

Yes, well, absolutely, dumson.

And, um, thank you very much.

Thank you, madam.

After all, cleanliness is next to godliness.

Is that a crumb?

Oh, dear.

Is that a crumb?

Oh, dear.

It's from Gus' mother.

He's missing belief killed.

Love day.

Mrs.'s letter.

Proposing.

Missing belief killed isn't the same as killed in action.

He's dead.

You can't say that.

Oh, no, he is.

Love day.

He's dead!

He's dead!

He's dead!

I know he is.

He's dead!

I know he is.

I know he is dead.

Gus, I don't know.

I'm so glad you are here.

It seems so short.

When's your next leave?

Not for ages.

Now it's only a couple of nights.

Any plans?

Not really.

Well, look, if you want to run up to London, I've still got my little hidey-hole look, a dog and muse.

Come and go as you like.

There's a woman who cleans and don't be surprised if you bump into a few waifs and strays.

Edgar says I hand these out like raffle tickets.

Turner, thanks.

I suppose I've got to let you go.

Are you sure you don't want Edgar to give you a lift?

I think we've got a bit of petrol left.

Save it.

Anyway, I've got to get the bike back.

I'll probably strap it onto the bush or something.

Thanks so much for having me.

I'm so glad you are here.

I'll try and talk some sense into Love Day, but will you know what she's like?

Come again as soon as you can.

Oh, well.

Bye-bye.

Two intersecting circles enclosed in a rectangle is the new symbol of marriage devised by the board of trade.

It will be marked on all the standard wedding rings as a warmeasure it's announced today.

The rings will be plain, nine-carat gold, where not more than one-tenth of an ounce and cost a guinea, including purchase tax.

Start saving, Raymond.

Rings weighing less than one-tenth of an ounce will be priced proportionately.

What's the letter with her?

Don't you know what?

Her family's in Singapore, Idiot.

When the war spread to the Far East, Singapore knew, of course, that the straight settlements and all the layer would be in the thick of it.

This film, which is only just arrived here, shows one of the earlier air raids on the city.

The center where the big European shops and hotels are situated didn't escape.

Bombs fell in Raffles Square and at other spots equally well known to every Far East and tourist or traveler.

We here are familiar enough with the aftermath of a blitz.

We know too how the first blitz felt, and we can sympathize with Singapore.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It was just so awful reading at home.

Have a good cry.

There's nothing like it.

Darling, you know that Molly and Jess got out on that boat that I can never remember the name of.

Roger of Cerro X, so they're safe.

Yes, but what about Daddy? We haven't had anything.

We will.

And the chances are he got out too.

Video, you know, perfectly well. The chances are he's in a Japanese prison.

What do you need, my girl, is a large dose of bitty sub-hills, patent, universal morale restorer.

Otherwise known as Scotch whiskey.

Damn. Dead man.

Don't worry. I've got a secret horde.

You could also do with a break.

Why don't you take Diana Kerry-Louis up on that offer of hers and spend a few days in London?

That's what grand friends are for.

I'm sorry.

Senior officer, please. Mrs. Somerville. Admiral Somerville's wife.

Good evening. It's about Rendumbar. I'm her aunt.

I know this is most irregular, but she's a bit...

Order, Comba.

Would it be all right if she took a day or two's leave?

You can telephone her at her friend's London flat.

You're making me think.

Jeremy.

Oh, my gosh, Judith.

That was bad to say, how are you?

I love you.

Just.

What do you mean?

You haven't heard.

What?

I was the talk of West Cornwall.

I've been out of touch.

What?

I was on at Latin convoys. Got torpedoed.

Oh, is that all?

We're gone! I want to hear everything.

Hold on. Are you alone?

Jeremy, of course I am.

Sorry. My dress.

I happen to be dying.

Trade I bag the bed.

I'll save for all due for me.

How long are you staying?

I've got to catch you trying at six tomorrow morning.

I've been to see their lordships at the admiralty.

Proposition?

Surgeon Commander.

Which will mean a new posting?

Somewhere warmer, I hope.

Congratulations.

We should celebrate, but I don't think there is anything.

Yes, there is.

Loot.

And...

Abracadabra.

Chocolate.

And farm butter.

I don't believe it.

Steak.

I spend the weekend with my parents.

I'm doubly in the black market.

No. Just grateful patience.

Right. Back to bed.

I'll cook.

How do you like yours done?

So long since I've had one, I don't remember.

Oh my gosh, look at you.

Good dozenit.

Evan.

You never told me about being torpedoed.

Well, I happened during the day, thank God.

Did you see her go down?

Nothing into a float.

She went down very quickly.

Where'd Betty lost?

Oh, the ship company.

But you heard?

Oh, a few burns, that's all.

Whoo!

Got some magic pills in my bag.

I'll just get them finished.

Hey, back to bed.

Oh, yes sir.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Oh, yes sir.

When you were clean to that float, what did you think about?

Diagon.

No, not really.

Something told me I'd be alright.

Diagon.

What, you needed some sleep?

Yes, doctor.

You said, oh, I am.

Don't go.

Sleep here, there's buses of room.

The trouble is, if I did that, I'd want to make love to you.

What do you...

I wanted to for a very long time.

I'd like you to.

Are you sure?

It wouldn't be my first time.

Edwin.

If I did, what do you think of him?

No.

Edwin.

What time is it?

Twenty to six.

How?

Angel.

Hurry.

I'll write.

I promise.

I'm going.

I'm going.

I'm going to write.

I'm going.

I'm going.

Hello?

Hello, Tommy.

It's Judith.

Daniel isn't here.

What about?

Yes, I can come this morning, but what's it about?

Alright.

No, I understand.

I'm in a bed now.

Alright. See you then.

Bye.

Judith.

Sorry to spring this on you, but I'm afraid I haven't got much time.

Well, it's about your mother and sister.

Diana tells me that they left Singapore on a ship called the Roger of Sarawak.

That's right.

I'm afraid she was torpedoed somewhere off Borneo.

It's not as bad as it sounds.

There were survivors. The chances are they'd be picked up.

By the Japanese.

By the Japanese.

Is that all you know?

Well, obviously we don't have a list of names, but I think the chances are pretty high that they're still alive.

You shouldn't really be telling me, or this, should you?

No. But I thought you ought to know.

Thank you.

Look, I've just simply got to get back to my desk or I'd ask you for lunch. What about dinner?

I can't. I've got to be in Portsmouth tonight. Can I tell my aunt?

Of course. Only I think it would be better if she didn't know where you got it from.

Understood. I'd better let you get on.

I'm so sorry.

Broad shoulders.

Haven't you had enough?

No, I bloody haven't. I've got to say don't you start.

Sorry.

Didi.

Look at me.

Truth is, I can't cope with this war.

When you've been a navy wife as long as I have, you know everyone.

The casualties go on and on.

And now this.

Even if Molly is alive, she'll never survive a...

Jap prison camp.

She will. And so will Jess.

I'm not being much help, am I?

I've had time to think about it.

Jess is nearly ten now and I know Mommy may seem a bit weak, but she's actually quite strong.

And I'm the opposite, I suppose. Tough on the outside.

The weak is water on the inside.

Dura's Judith. I can't tell you where I am or what I'm doing.

Except that I'm at sea and working very hard.

Meeting you in London, finding you a Diana's house was a bit like a miracle.

Since then I've hardly had a moment to write.

No. That's not strictly true.

I just didn't know how to write what I wanted to say.

The truth is that I love you very much. I suppose I always have done.

When the war is over, I would like more than anything else in the world for us to be together again.

Because at the moment, I cannot contemplate a future without you.

Please write as soon as you can and let me know your feelings.

I love you so deeply. Always my darling Judith. Jeremy.

Make sure this gets in the next mailbag, will you?

Sir.

Jeremy, let me get you a drink.

Oh, that's very kind of you. I'm rather casual.

Stuart, glass pink gin for the subject of mine.

Try to evaluate that as soon!

I'm sorry. Nobody loves you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sorry. Nobody loves you.

Say what? I'll try to ring you. Couldn't get through.

What's going on here?

Oh, hello. It's all right. I'm a friend of Judith.

How is this person done, Bob?

Sorry to barge in. I did try to ring. Have you got a pass?

It's a filly and so not allowed in here without a pass signed by the commanding officer.

It's a restricted access area.

Lord, I'm a frightfully sorry. I had no idea. I'm not a spy or anything.

Scat-sona.

How can you stand with us? Like being back at school?

Then the day of you letting him. I wonder what's happened to her?

It's probably a tank of monster.

I miss you. Thank you.

Oh!

Bam!

Well?

I'm getting married.

Pop said I should write, but you know what I'm like.

So, I thought I'd give myself the day off and bring you the great news in person.

So on the 20th and you have got to come, even if you get court-martialed.

Hold on.

You haven't told me who you're marrying yet.

Walter, of course.

Who?

Walter. Walter Trevelyan?

Go on, say it.

Gus is dead.

If you believed he was alive, would you still be marrying Walter?

Do you believe that your mother and father and sister are alive?

Yes! I have to.

Well, that's the difference between us. I know Gus is dead. I've accepted it.

I thought I should go on hoping.

I can't.

You haven't tried. I have.

It's been over a year. We've heard nothing.

Look, I've known Walter all my life. We both love riding and the farm.

All right, he's not our class, but quite frankly, I'd prefer him than some

of his business.

He would.

Jingle sex public, schoolboy, who's probably queer.

Anyway, I'm pregnant.

Anymore shocked?

It's about it, I think.

Do Diana and Edgar know about the baby?

They're not snobs.

The only one who doesn't approve is Cili Old Dobson.

I can imagine.

And you?

You think I should hope against hope and never say die in all that?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean try to imagine it was Edgar and Diana and Athena.

Judas, I'm sorry.

It must be awful for you.

It's just that everything is so ghastly and deprosy.

I just want some happiness.

What is my friend?

I know we can make a go of this.

You will come, won't you?

Of course.

Yes.

One moment.

Come back! There's someone on the telephone for you.

Hello.

Eddie.

Come down.

I'll come around as soon as I can.

As soon as I can.

It's my aunt.

I see.

Could I take my lunch break early? She's in a bit of a state.

She's Mrs. Somerville.

Rear Admiral Somerville's wife.

Very well.

Thank you.

Eddie?

Eddie?

Hello, Diana.

Judas, where are you?

I'm still in Portsmouth.

My aunt's been taken now.

I don't think I'll be able to come.

What's happened?

Hold on.

She can't come.

Why not?

Let me talk to her.

Judas?

I can't.

They don't know what's wrong with her.

I can't leave her.

Well, she's not dying or anything, is she?

They don't know.

I'm terribly sorry.

You've got to come.

I can't.

After everything we've done for you, that's quite enough.

Judas?

She's a bit over-road.

Wedding night jitters.

Now you're not to worry about anything.

Just ring when you can.

I will.

Goodbye, Judas.

Bye.

I'm not going to go.

I'm not going to go.

I'm not going to go.

I'm not going to go.

I pulled a bit of rank.

Got to live in the RAF.

I arrived about an arug.

You should have woken me.

From what bit has been telling me you need all the sleep you can get?

You have better bidding.

She's a total fraud.

We haven't time for all that now.

You must still get your friend's wedding.

There's a car waiting to take you to the station.

You can catch the 830, change your exit to her,

and with any luck you'll be able to take a taxi to Nanjiro.

I couldn't possibly go.

Judas, life goes on.

Nothing but matter with bitty, she's just been drinking like her fish and not eating properly, that's all.

You probably missed the church, but you should make it to the shindig if you're going to move on.

Are you sure you can manage?

Do hurry darling.

I shall have a relapse.

Go young lady. Go now.

Then I'm gone.

Bless you both.

I'll give them all your love.

And ask for you, Mrs. Somerville.

Don't. I feel like a complete worm.

I've got a bit of news.

I've been offered a best job in London.

Seems to have come at just the right time.

What?

Don't take it for my sake.

Don't bloody yourself.

This promotion, strategic planning.

You're an old fool, you know.

Why didn't you tell me you were so bloody miserable?

I didn't want to worry.

Bitty, there isn't much point in fighting a war for our than hell if they're quietly collapsing behind your back.

I do love you.

I should bloody well I am sure.

Well at least he's a good looking chap. Not a bad turn.

I'd all things considered.

I didn't expect to see you here Jeremy.

I managed to wank to a days leave at the last minute.

Five minutes.

So.

I've got to make a damn speech. Any ideas?

I've never known you lost a word, Stonnell.

Bearing up.

Just about?

My family aren't that bad.

I know.

I'm lovely. Do I really have to make this speech?

Of course.

Don't worry. Just say whatever comes into your head first. Nobody will mind.

Jeremy, you're so terrific.

You made it.

Oh, I thought none of my old friends were going to come. Even Judith isn't here.

Her aunt has had some sort of sudden collapse in Portsmouth and you know Judith.

You mean she's not a come?

No.

I was so looking forward to seeing her.

So was I on my big day.

Oh well.

I'd have to manage without her.

I can't stay much longer I'm afraid. I've got to give up my ship.

I'd better say goodbye to Diana and Edgar for those.

Oh, fuck you.

You?

Come.

Congratulations again, Walter.

And, um...

Best of British.

I reckon I'll need it.

Pigs!

Well, I never thought I'd live to see my naughty little sister lookin' so good.

No, be happy, darling, won't you?

That's all I want.

Couldn't we go a little faster? I am trying to get to a wedding.

Excuse me, sir. We should be going, sir.

Pardon me, man.

Cutting it fine, sir. The ship won't wait.

It'll be all right.

Don't worry.

You're all right.

As a matter of fact, I feel perfectly bloody.

Come on.

I'm all right, Miss. It doesn't like this water and petrol.

There you are. I told you to feel right.

Look at me.

Never cry at weddings and funerals.

It's all right, Pops.

I was just feeling a bit quaint.

Sorry, Diana. I really must be going.

It has been a great occasion.

Thank you both so much.

No, Lord, it is. Thank you for rescuing me.

I'll not explore.

And thank you so much for coming.

Goodbye, Aga.

Goodbye, my boy.

Keep up right.

I'll be there.

Back to the fray.

Back to the fray.

It feels a bit all right.

Love, damn, Walter.

We've been all right.

Yes. We have, haven't we?

Yes, Judith.

My dog's in his door over.

My dog means a bit we haven't.

It's just a bit late to announce.

I wouldn't dream of it.

Jeremy, sneaking off and I've seen goodbye to me.

Goodbye, Athena.

Goodbye. Hope to see you back soon.

You might not have to claim, would you?

I will.

Please, strange occasion, Miss.

Judith!

Oh!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry.

This is marvellous.

Now everyone's here.

Let's find Jeremy.

Jeremy?

He arrived at the last minute, absolutely out of the blue.

You've just missed him.

MUSIC

And as many of you know, I've been coming to Nanchera since, well,

since before Love Day was born, part of the furniture.

I'm surprised I wasn't dust-cheated up on the outbreak of war.

I remember her christening.

She screamed like a banshee, of course.

I was about to say I remember her in her bath,

but since that was only last Tuesday.

I think I better draw a veil over that one.

Well, it's time for me to shut up and it only remains for me to ask you to

raise your glasses and drink to the health and happiness of our bride and bridegroom,

Love Day and Walter.

Love Day and Walter.

MUSIC

Premier gave out the terrific news at midnight.

The pen has today surrendered.

The last of our enemies is laid low.

Already, all the London's west end, the vast VJ crowds were collecting.

London has its obvious rallying points on such great occasions.

This was one.

MUSIC

You have a short rest.

From the unceasing existence, which you have all born without flinging or complaint,

for so many dark years.

We also think of this time especially of the prisoners in Japanese hand.

Let us thank God for this great deliverance.

Long live the king.

MUSIC

Oh, sorry, not really appropriate.

It's just that I'm still prokling with the Red Cross trying to find out about

Mummy and Daddy and Jasmine getting exactly nowhere.

Same old flannel.

Situation is still very confused, patients required every effort being made.

It's driving me mad.

MUSIC

Try this, Jap.

I'll give him a ring in the morning, prepare the ground.

Might do the trick, you never know.

MUSIC

Let's forget about my worries.

Here's to peace.

MUSIC

Miss Dunbar is here.

Bring him in.

Miss Dunbar.

Do sit down, Miss Dunbar.

My name's Simpson, we've been corresponding.

I understand you've been in touch with the director.

I'm sorry you felt it, necessary.

I think I said in my last letter, your case is in hand.

It was just that it seemed to be taking such a long time.

We're dealing with literally thousands of inquiries every day.

However, I do have some information for you.

As far as your father's concerned, I'm afraid it's distressing you.

He's dead.

Yes, I'm afraid he is.

This is a preliminary report.

I'm afraid in Shange Prison in May 1942.

I'm afraid we don't have much beyond the bare facts at this stage,

but obviously we'll make every effort to find out more.

I'm very sorry.

My mother and my sister.

We found your sister.

Jessica Dunbar.

She was in Australia.

Australia?

She's on her way home in a ship called the Olympic.

What about my mother?

I'm afraid we have no information about Mrs Dunbar as yet.

But they were together.

So I understand.

Surely someone must have talked to Jess.

If you would read the report.

What exactly is wrong with her?

What? I'm afraid I can't tell you any more than what's in the report.

This is damn ridiculous.

Poor Jess.

Somebody must know what's wrong with her.

No.

I truly don't think they do.

The record has done its best, but...

Anyway, she'll be home in a couple of weeks.

So we'll see.

At least since you've joined the officer class,

you can manage a decent cup of tea.

Emotion has its privileges.

Not enough to get me an immediate D-morp.

You shouldn't have any trouble.

But if you do...

Don't worry, I'll ask you to pull all the strings you can.

I must be home to look after Jess.

Yes, the devil of it is that I've been posted abroad.

And I want to take pity with me.

Keep an eye on her.

Of course.

Don't worry, I'll manage.

In the ears of the Dara House.

Army moved out, yeah?

No.

There's a list of sense left to the war office, no reply.

Looks like it's going to be a long haul.

Red tape.

Would they have you both at Manchiro, do you think?

I'm sure they would.

It seems to be the best time then.

So sorry to hear about your father.

Chang'in.

Well, Bruce, when I bloody awful thing.

Yes, I'd always hope we might.

You sure you couldn't cope with all this?

Navy always copes.

Excuse me, I'm waiting for my sister.

Jessica Dunbar.

The Olympic?

It'd help this morning.

Oh, I'm afraid I'm not dealing with that group.

What could I speak to someone I'd be waiting for for over an hour?

Well, I expect she's still being processed.

What?

There are procedures, medical, temporary identity cards and so on.

It's a lot of work.

I'll do my best to find out something for you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Do you remember me?

I'm Judith.

I'm your sister.

We haven't seen each other for a very long time.

Have filed.

Medical records, immigration papers, temporary identification documents.

Oh, and there's a letter from the woman who looked after her in Australia.

Could you sign there, please?

What?

You have to sign for her?

No.

Lovely, lovely lunch, Tommy.

If you're like I can't drop this on.

No, bless you.

I've got a bit more shopping than the 330.

Judith's being a little sister, Jess, home tonight.

Come and see us again soon.

Of course I will.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

Gus?

Gus, stop.

It's me, Diana.

I know.

What's happened to you?

We didn't know... where are you living?

It doesn't matter.

Well, it matters to me.

Come on, I won't ask any more questions.

I'm taking you back to the mules.

No arguments, Gus.

We're here.

How are you going to get out?

Gus?

Well, well, well.

Play Diana stuck in London.

Should be back tomorrow.

Hello?

Come on, just out you get.

Cook, Fort.

Milk and biscuits and straight to bed.

We've opened up the drawing room again.

Come down whenever you're ready.

Good night, Jess.

Sit tight.

Shall we unpack?

Let's unpack.

What's your cousin there?

Are they your treasures?

I've got a box I keep mine in.

I gave it to me for my birthday.

I'd love to have a look.

Show me!

Jess is asleep.

Best medicine.

I had to sign for her.

Like a puzzle.

From what I can gather after the ship went down, she got into a lifeboat and then Australian women,

then Ruth Malaney took her under her wing.

Nothing about your mother.

Mm, they, uh, ended up in Java.

The japs were already there.

They spent the next three years in camps.

Ruth Malaney pretended they were sisters, so they wouldn't get separated.

And Jess was listed as, as Jess Malaney, which is, uh, which is why it took so long to find her.

What's wrong with her?

I can't.

What's wrong with her?

I could not.

Grace Malaney.

I can't.

I can't.

I can't.

Jess is okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay, I'm not.

It's okay.

I'm not okay, I'm not.

It's okay.

I'm not okay.

It's Japanese.

Before the last war I was on the military mission to Tokyo.

There were our allies.

How to believe?

I might be an idea for old Dr. Wells to see her.

Like me to give him a ring.

Thanks, Ika.

Hot back into bed, you.

That's our house.

Can't live there now because the government's got it.

I'll get it, I can promise.

It won't be like that when we left there.

There won't be any soldiers that be gone.

It's all right.

I promise.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon.

We have an appointment with Dr. Wells at two o'clock.

Kerry Lewis.

Actually, it's Dumbo.

Can't I carry those round to make the appointment for my sister?

Oh, I'm afraid we're a bit of a muddle today.

Well, Miss Cascot's down with Flew. I'm only helping out, see.

Well, the doctor's here. You could go straight in.

Thanks so much.

Come on, Jess.

Jeremy, I...

I was expecting to see your father.

He's down with Flew.

Oh.

As a matter of fact, I thought I was seeing Edgar.

This is my sister, Jess.

How did you do, Jess? Come in.

She's been in Japanese camp since 42.

I see.

I just want to find out what's wrong with her.

This is her Red Cross medical farm.

Maybe it'd be better if you were an outsider.

Right, Jess. Let's have a look at you.

Let's hop on the couch, sir.

Jess likes to wait out here, Jess.

Judith.

There's nothing physically wrong with her.

I suppose that's a relief.

She's obviously been through a very traumatic experience.

You don't need me to tell you that.

Should I take her to a psychiatrist?

I don't say anything as much point.

Maybe when she starts talking.

Do you think she will?

I've seen quite a few cases like this.

Yes, you must have.

Bring her back and say a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, all the food she can eat,

plenty of fresh air and...

love.

Yes.

Don't worry too much.

Time is often the best cure.

Yes.

You forgot these.

Turn away.

Oh.

I'm so glad you made it through the war, alright.

Well,

it's on mine.

Better be getting back.

If you're worried about Jess,

ring me any time.

Can I ask a favor?

Too, really.

I've got a thought I'd get in the Daohas back and Tommy's promised to help.

But it'll mean a day in London.

Could you look after Jess?

Of course.

And could I stay at the muse?

I can easily go to a tent of this on there.

As a matter of fact, there is.

Gus.

Gus?

Love this, Gus.

Yes.

Incredibly, I bumped into him in London yesterday.

Starving, literally, he's been sleeping on the streets.

Gus?

But what else are you doing on the streets? What's happened?

I don't know. He wasn't exactly forthcoming.

He never was.

In fact, he hardly uttered.

Well, I suppose it's just marvellous he's alive.

Yes.

But he made me more or less swear not to tell anybody.

He was a bit more lucid this morning. I didn't argue.

I gave him some money.

Don't say as long as he liked.

Then I fled.

Well, look, I've got to go up to London anyway tomorrow.

I could talk to him.

Would you?

Perhaps you can get some sense out of him.

You'll have to tell Edgar.

Yes, I suppose so.

And love day.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Hey, come on down.

You see, he's so good.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Why didn't you contact anyone, Gus?

Who?

My mother died in 44.

I don't have any other family.

The carried Lewis's.

Love day.

Didn't seem much point.

I knew she was married.

I found a clipping among my mother's things.

A marriage has been arranged and all that.

She must have cut it out and kept it.

And anyway...

What?

Doesn't matter.

Is she happy?

Yes, I think so.

Children?

One.

Oh boy.

You weren't Changi.

Yes?

Tell us my father, Bruce Dumbo.

Didn't come across him.

There were so many.

He died in 42.

I'm sorry.

Was it very terrible there?

What's happened to you, Gus?

I mean...

Diana says you don't have any money.

Mother left me a few hundred.

And I had my gratuity, of course.

I drank a lot.

Tried to sell some of those drawings.

But nobody seemed interested in buying them.

What are you going to do?

If I can take the drink...

I'll make to Scotland, rent a groft.

And paint.

Do you think you can?

Paint?

That's a good question.

No.

Keep the drink.

That's the easier bit.

Love day?

Diana told me.

I got the mail train.

Where is he?

I don't know where you come.

You're going to take a break.

Please.

I thought we'd need to be taken to the border.

All right, I made a mistake.

But I thought you were dead.

It's not too late, Gus.

Oh, I made a mistake and water was there.

Am I supposed to spend the rest of my life paying for it?

I love you.

I always have, and I always will.

I can leave Walter.

You can't.

Yes, I can.

You're married, and you've got a child.

I know.

But we can work it out.

You don't understand, do you?

Yes, I do.

I was stupid and I wrecked everything.

But it's not too late.

Look at me.

What do you see?

You.

Man, I love.

No.

I'm not the man you knew.

I'm not the person you loved.

I'm somebody else.

No.

Judith, sorry to have kept you.

Peace was broken out even here.

We've got to move to more modest quarters.

The economy is the big watchwork these days.

Don't even attempt to interpret the white waries.

But the fact is, you've got the Dauhaus bag.

Tell me you are a miracle worker.

Oh, that's a demonet.

Sorry.

I managed to die.

Well, I am supposed to run the show.

The fact is, it was one of my departments that was holding on for place.

What?

I didn't have a clue about it, honest engine.

It's watertight compartments here.

Right-hand's not supposed to know what the left-hand's doing.

It's ridiculous.

In this case, bloody embarrassing.

But I'm prepared to do penance on behalf of the British government.

Lunch at the Savoy.

Yes, but I'm paying.

Of course you are.

I don't understand what he means.

Darling, for the last three years, Gus has been in hell.

People like us who stayed at home can't even begin to imagine the horror of it.

It's a gulf we can never bridge.

Now, Walter will be getting worried.

You better go home.

How can I?

Because you have a son.

And you have a husband who's kind and cares for you very much.

And one day you all live here and you will be happy.

Like you and Pops?

Yes.

It's second best.

I know, love day.

Mm?

No!

I was getting worried.

Sorry.

I stopped in at Manjiro.

What's happened?

What's worrying you?

Nothing.

Nothing at all.

It doesn't matter.

I'm back!

I'm going to show you something Daddy sent years ago.

I'm going to show you something.

I'm going to show you something.

I'm going to show you something.

I'm going to show you something.

We were both in the water.

I think Mommy must have hit her head or something.

I don't know.

Because she wasn't swimming very well.

I tried to help her.

But she just said, swim Jess.

Swim to the lifeboat.

So I did.

I thought she was behind me.

But when I got to the lifeboat and Ruth helped me aboard,

I looked back and she wasn't there anymore.

I wanted to dive back in, but they wouldn't let me.

I shouted at them, but they held on to me.

I kept saying, it's no good Jess.

She's gone.

Hello.

Hello.

Come see my patient.

Hello Jess.

Hello Dr. Wells.

She looks better.

She's talking.

Yes.

I had a bit of breakthrough.

Oh, well times are great either.

Is it?

Why didn't you write Jeremy?

But I did.

I told you everything.

I pulled my heart out and you never replied.

I never got it.

I'm so sorry.

Tell me what you wrote.

Well, um, that I'd loved you for as long as I could remember,

that our night together was better than anything I'd ever experienced.

But I realised there wasn't much hope, but perhaps after the war was over,

if you were still unattached we might have.

The war is over.

I'm unattached.

Yes, but it is as simple as that.

Good be.

I mean, I'm older than you.

You're rich.

Not according to my stockbroker.

Apparently everything's a lot better.

Yes, but the point is you've got a stockbroker.

I wouldn't even know what one looked like.

I'm a country GP on 200 a year and I just think that...

Jeremy.

Shazam.

I'm going to see the hut.

Don't get lost.

Due, dear.

Shall we go?

Let's...

Bloody hell.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.
