A PLOWHORSE KICKED ME.

STUPID.

I SHOULD HAVE STOOD CLEAR.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

ROSE.

ROSE BAILEY.

OK, ROSE, NOW, ANY MINUTE NOW WE'RE GONNA BE FLOODED WITH CASUALTIES, SO THERE ISN'T TIME FOR MORPHINE.

THIS IS GONNA HURT, BUT I'LL BE AS QUICK AS I CAN.

MY HUSBAND'S IN BURMA--AAH.

MAN: FIRING!

FIRING!

[SIRENS CONTINUE] THIS IS BRINFORD.

WE ARE UNDER ATTACK.

SHE'S BEEN EVACUATED TO NORFOLK.

YOU HAVE ANY VISITS PLANNED SOON?

IT'S HER BIRTHDAY SOON.

I'M GONNA ASK IF I CAN--OW!

PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF THE FLOORS!

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

GRAB THOSE SHEETS, JOYCE.

CONNIE, IRIS--THESE BEDS, THEY NEED MAKING UP.

WE'RE GONNA WORK IN TWOS.

MAN: AAH!

IT'S GONNA BE A LONG NIGHT.

IRIS: I THOUGHT WE WERE SAFE OUT HERE.

FILTHY COWARDS!

CHOP CHOP, LADIES!

COME ON, ROSE, BREATHE.

[MAN GROANS] DOCTOR, WE NEED SOME HELP OVER HERE!

MRS. FISHER, THERE IS SOME GAUZE AND BANDAGES ON THE TROLLEY OVER THERE.

FETCH THEM QUICKLY.

AAH!

AAH!

IRIS.

THAT'S ROSE!

I'M SORRY.

THANK YOU.

CHANNING: THANK YOU.

I'LL TAKE OVER NOW.

MAN: AAH!

I NEED SOME ASSISTANCE, PLEASE.

WE NEED TO OPERATE URGENTLY.

MAN: AAH!

W-WE WERE BILLETED THE SAME DAY, SAT TOGETHER ON THE TRAIN.

COME HERE.

[CRYING] [DOG BARKS] IT AIN'T HEALTHY, JOYCE WAITING OUT THERE EVERY MORNING.

BEST LEAVE IT TO ME.

BIT OLD FOR DOLLS, AIN'T YOU, IRIS?

IT'S A BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR ROSE'S LITTLE GIRL.

THING IS, I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO SEND IT.

SHOULD I ASK AT SHALLOW BROOK FARM?

I'LL SORT IT.

MAYBE WE SHOULD CANCEL TONIGHT.

DON'T FEEL RIGHT HAVING A PARTY WITH ALL THIS GOING ON.

NO, I THINK IT'S JUST WHAT WE NEED TO TAKE EVERYONE'S MIND OFF THINGS.

OOH!

CONNIE: HELLO!

SORRY.

MARTIN, WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT LEAVING YOUR TOYS LYING AROUND?

THEY'RE NOT TOYS.

THEY'RE SKATES.

WELL, I DON'T CARE.

JUST GET RID OF THEM BEFORE SOMEBODY BREAKS THEIR NECK.

I KNOW YOU'RE A FAST MOVER, MARTIN, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROPOSE.

ANY WORD ON JOHN?

JOYCE: NO.

IRIS, IS THERE ANYTHING THERE FOR ME?

OH, I GOT TO GET MY BOOTS ON.

OH, YES, COME ON, GIRLS.

IT'S GETTING LATE.

SPEAKING OF LATE, IS FINCH STILL IN BED?

[ROOSTER CROWS] OOH...

THANKS.

AIN'T YOU GONNA OPEN IT?

I'LL READ IT LATER.

THERE'S ONE HERE FROM BEA.

OH, HOW'S LIFE IN LEICESTER, THEN?

YEAH, LIVING WITH ANNIE'S GOOD.

MISSING BILLY, THOUGH, BLESS HER, AND ALL OF US.

OH, WILLIAM'S TAKING HIS FIRST STEPS.

CONNIE.

IS IT YOUR FANCY MAN?

HE AIN'T MY FANCY MAN, NOT NO MORE.

WELL, YOU'VE TOLD HIM ABOUT THE ENGAGEMENT.

LET'S JUST SAY I ENDED IT.

JOYCE: CONNIE!

WELL, I'VE GOT A NEW LIFE NOW WITH HENRY.

WELL, WE HAVEN'T SEEN YOU AROUND HERE FOR A WHILE.

NO.

I GO WHERE THE WORK IS, MRS. REEVES.

DO YOU HAVE ANY NEWS ABOUT DENNIS?

WE'VE ALL BEEN WORRIED.

NO.

I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE... WELL, IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND SHOWING ME TO MY LODGINGS.

I'M SURE YOU'D LIKE TO RUN THROUGH MY DUTIES.

I'M SORRY?

MR. FINCH DIDN'T TELL YOU?

HE'S OFFERED ME A JOB.

[LOUD LAUGHTER] LADY HOXLEY, MAY I SPEAK WITH YOU?

I WAS RATHER HOPING YOU WOULD.

IT'S BECOMING SOMEWHAT CRAMPED IN THE GREAT HALL.

I'D LIKE TO CREATE AN ADDITIONAL WARD FOR THE OFFICERS.

I'VE PROVIDED ROOM AND BOARD FOR YOU AND EACH OF YOUR MEN.

FOR WHICH WE'RE GRATEFUL.

I FIND THE WALKING WOUNDED IN EVERY CORNER OF THE HOUSE AND GARDEN.

WHERE ELSE COULD YOU POSSIBLY GO?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

THIS IS PRACTICALLY MY LAST REFUGE.

HA HA!

WHAT'S SO AMUSING?

YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED.

PITY I CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR YOU.

WE'LL MAKE DO WITH THE SPACE THAT WE HAVE.

I'M SORRY TO HAVE DISTURBED YOU.

RICHARD, YOU'VE BARELY ACKNOWLEDGED ME ALL WEEK.

I'VE BEEN RATHER BUSY RUNNING THIS HOSPITAL.

PERHAPS IF YOU'D EVER HAD TO WORK, YOU'D UNDERSTAND THAT.

TAKE THE DRAWING ROOM.

GO WHEREVER YOU PLEASE.

A MAN NEEDED A JOB AND WE NEEDED HELP.

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE PLEASED.

WE HARDLY KNOW HIM.

WE KNOW HE'S WORKED THE LAND ALL HIS LIFE.

THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

WELL, YOU STILL SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME.

OH!

AND IF IT'S BREAKFAST YOU WANT, YOU'RE TOO LATE.

THE KITCHEN'S CLOSED.

MR. FINCH!

THAT WAS MY PRIZE MARROW!

A SURE WINNER AT THE WINGS FOR VICTORY FETE THIS WEEKEND REDUCED TO A PULP!

OH, DEAR MRS. GULLIVER.

WONDER HOW THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED.

OH, DON'T YOU ACT INNOCENT WITH ME, MR. FINCH.

I SAW YOUR BIG BACKSIDE FLEEING THE SCENE OF THE CRIME!

YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM THE POLICE.

OVER A FLATTENED MARROW?

OH, NO.

FOR DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED.

WHO SAID I WAS DRINKING?

OH, HALF THE VILLAGE KNOW YOU SPENT THE NIGHT ON THE PUB FLOOR.

DISGRACE!

WELL, I'M SURE WE COULD SETTLE THIS BETWEEN US.

OH, YES, WE CAN SETTLE IT WITH A HEFTY FINE FOR DESTROYING MY GARDEN!

I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU.

PLEASE!

NAME YOUR PRICE.

CONNIE: WHAT A RUST BUCKET.

IRIS: ARE WE USING THIS INSTEAD OF THE HORSE?

JOYCE: I'M NOT SURE.

I'LL SEE IF I CAN FIND FINCH.

YEAH, GOOD LUCK.

DO YOU THINK WE'LL ALL GET A GO?

CAN'T SEE WHY NOT.

GET ON.

I'LL START 'ER UP.

ARE YOU SURE I'M ALLOWED?

YEAH, YOU'RE SHOWING INITIATIVE.

YOU'LL NEED THAT FOR THE PROFICIENCY TEST.

THE WHAT?

OH, THE INSPECTORS ARE COMING, MAKE SURE YOU NEW GIRLS ARE QUALIFIED.

SEE IF THERE'S ANYTHING THERE ABOUT TRACTORS.

MAYBE WE SHOULD WAIT FOR MR. FINCH.

COME ON, HOW HARD CAN IT BE?

TALK ME THROUGH IT.

YOU, UM...YOU CRANK IT.

WHAT ABOUT THIS PETROL THINGIE?

YOU HAVE TO START IT FIRST.

[CRANKING] STOP!

AAH!

YOU!

GET AWAY FROM THERE!

SHOW ME.

OW!

YOU MOVE YOUR FINGERS?

YOU'RE LUCKY.

YOU COULD HAVE BROKEN YOUR WRIST.

YOU NEVER EVER TOUCH A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN SHOWN WHAT TO DO FIRST!

BUT WE CONSULTED THE MANUAL.

THE MANUAL?

YOU PUT IT AWAY.

YOU ASK ME OR MR. FINCH.

UNDERSTOOD?

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M THE NEW FARMHAND.

FRANK TUCKER.

I NOTICE YOU CORRALLED A CHILD INTO HELPING YOU, MR. FINCH.

I'M OLD ENOUGH.

FIXING A GATE IS A TWO-MAN JOB.

WELL, 1 1/2.

HA HA!

YOU'LL FIX MORE THAN THAT GATE, MR. FINCH.

NEVER FEAR.

YOUR VEGETABLE PATCH WILL BE AS GOOD AS NEW.

I WANT THE WHOLE GARDEN CLEARED.

EH?

FOR THE DIG FOR VICTORY CAMPAIGN.

AN ACT OF PATRIOTISM, MR. FINCH.

THAT'LL WIPE THE SLATE CLEAN.

THAT'LL TAKE AGES.

BETTER GET STARTED THEN, HADN'T YOU?

[SPLASH] AT LEAST HORSES DON'T BREAK DOWN.

NO, JUST EAT YOUR LUNCH WHEN YOU AIN'T LOOKING.

WHO'S THAT?

OH, THAT'S FARMER STOREY'S SON WALTER.

HIS BLOOD'S UP 'CAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS OLD MAN.

KEEPS MOUTHING OFF ABOUT IT IN THE PUB.

[CRANKING] DO YOU THINK HE KNOWS WHERE HIS BROTHER'S HIDING?

I DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF HIM.

HE MAKES ME THINK OF THIS MAN, LIVED ON MY STREET.

QUIET, HE WAS.

ONE DAY, CHOPPED HIS WIFE TO BITS WITH AN AX.

HEY, JUST THINK, HE'S SLEEPING RIGHT ACROSS THE HALL FROM US.

YOUR BED'S THE CLOSEST TO THE DOOR, ISN'T IT, IRIS?

DON'T!

JOYCE: WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL HE'S HERE.

FINCH CAN'T RUN THIS PLACE ON HIS OWN, NOT WITH BILLY GONE.

FRANK: THAT LOT WILL HAVE TO WAIT.

JUST CARRY ON WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

MISS DAWSON, YOU COME WITH ME, PLEASE.

WATCH OUT FOR HIS CHOPPER.

[GIGGLING] ELLEN: ERECT THE MARQUEE OVER THERE, NOT TOO CLOSE TO THE HOUSE, PLEASE.

I WANT TO KEEP THE NOISE DOWN TO A MINIMUM.

MAN: MILADY.

I'M ALLOWING A PARTY FOR THE VILLAGERS ON THE GROUNDS THIS EVENING.

ONE OF MY LAND GIRLS IS MARRYING OUR LOCAL VICAR.

I LIKE TO DO WHAT I CAN FOR THE VILLAGE.

GOOD FOR MORALE, ESPECIALLY AFTER RECENT EVENTS.

INDEED.

I SHALL BE PUTTING IN AN APPEARANCE.

PEOPLE EXPECT IT.

OF COURSE, YOU'RE WELCOME TO ATTEND.

I'M AFRAID THE HOSPITAL CAN'T SPARE ME.

I MEANT THE INVITATION EXTENDS TO ANY OF YOUR MEN.

THANK YOU.

I'LL PUT THE WORD OUT.

ENJOY THE PARTY.

GO RIGHT TO THE END.

WELL, GO ON, MISS DAWSON.

WE HAVEN'T GOT ALL DAY.

[LAMB BLEATING] HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO DO THIS?

TILL WE FINISH THE JOB.

WE?

PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT.

WE DON'T WANT TO COME BACK TOMORROW, DO WE?

HMM?

MR. FINCH.

I THINK I FOUND SOMETHING.

FRANK: I'M TOLD SHE WAS BORN LATE IN THE SEASON.

[BLEATING] SMALLER THAN THE OTHERS.

MOTHER'S REJECTED HER.

REJECTED HER?

WON'T LET HER CLOSE ENOUGH TO SUCKLE.

OH, HOW COULD SHE?

IT'S NATURE.

NO ROOM FOR SENTIMENT.

SHE'LL HAVE TO BE HAND-REARED.

I WON'T HAVE TIME TO DO IT.

HOLD HER ON YOUR KNEE.

[BLEATING] COME HERE.

OH!

AH, YOU'RE A NATURAL.

3 TIMES A DAY UNTIL SHE'S WEANED.

IT'LL BE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

[SLURPING LOUDLY] OHH!

WHOA.

CONNIE: I NOTICE IRIS NEVER COME BACK.

MAYBE FRANK'S BURYING HER OUT IN THE WOODS.

NOT ONE PIT MIND, LOTS OF LITTLE ONES.

HE MIGHT KEEP GOING.

EXCUSE ME!

YES, MISS.

YOU AIN'T GOT ONE FOR JOYCE FISHER, HAVE YOU?

YES.

OH, I DON'T WANT IT.

MIGHT BE GOOD NEWS.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SO SORRY.

HE'S ALIVE!

ALIVE!

[LAUGHTER] YOU DROPPED THIS, MISS DAWSON.

[LAMB BLEATING] THANKS.

IT'S FROM HOME?

MUST BE GOOD TO HEAR THE NEWS.

WELL, YOU HAVEN'T OPENED IT.

I HAVEN'T HAD TIME.

YOU CAN SPARE A FEW MOMENTS, CAN'T YOU?

FAMILY'S WHAT KEEPS US GOING.

YOU CAN'T READ, CAN YOU?

WHAT?

COURSE I CAN.

THERE'S NO SHAME IN IT.

I'M NOT ASHAMED.

I CAN READ AND WRITE, SAME AS ANYONE.

THE MANUAL EARLIER.

IT WAS NOTHING ABOUT TRACTORS.

COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

MISS DAWSON!

I TRUST YOU RECEIVED THE WREATH FOR THE FUNERAL, MRS. BAILEY.

NOT AT ALL.

IT WAS THE LEAST WE COULD DO.

PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCEREST CONDOLENCES.

NO.

PLEASE!

SOMEBODY!

SIR WILLIAM.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M FINE.

I'M SORRY, MRS. BAILEY.

PERHAPS I COULD CALL YOU BACK LATER.

YES.

THANK YOU.

GOOD-BYE.

NOT NOW, MRS. FISHER.

I'M REALLY SORRY, LADY HOXLEY.

IT'S JUST I'VE HAD WORD MY HUSBAND'S BEEN FOUND ALIVE.

I'M PLEASED FOR YOU.

THE ONLY THING IS, THE TELEGRAM, IT DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING MORE.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S INJURED OR... WELL, I WAS HOPING MAYBE YOU COULD FIND OUT WHERE HE IS.

MRS. FISHER, THE WAR OFFICE WILL INFORM YOU OF YOUR HUSBAND'S WHEREABOUTS IN GOOD TIME.

FOR NOW, I SUGGEST YOU RETURN TO YOUR DUTIES AND EXERCISE A BIT OF PATIENCE.

YES, LADY HOXLEY, SORRY.

HMM HMM HMM.

OH, YES.

OH, HOO HOO!

IF IT'S MRS. GULLIVER'S LAND, SHOULDN'T WE GIVE THE COINS TO HER?

IF SHE WANTED TO FIND 'EM, SHE SHOULD HAVE DUG 'EM UP HERSELF, SHOULDN'T SHE?

NOW, COME ON, KEEP DIGGING.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE DOWN THERE, MR. FINCH.

I SAID DIG!

YOU DIG!

HEY, COME BACK HERE!

I'LL REMEMBER THIS WHEN I DIVVY UP YOUR CUT.

YOU-- OH, HO HO!

UH-HUH.

HEY!

OH!

OHH!

OHH... [TALKING INDISTINCTLY] HELLO, HENRY.

I VOLUNTEERED FOR THE EGG RUN.

I'M GLAD YOU DID.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

I'VE BEEN THINKING.

SEEING AS HOW WE'RE PRACTICALLY MARRIED AND THAT, MAYBE I COULD COME BACK WITH YOU TONIGHT.

CONNIE.

YOU KNOW I WOULD LIKE NOTHING MORE, BUT-- BUT WE MUST BE PATIENT.

OH, MUST WE?

YES.

YES.

IT WOULD BE A COMPLETE VIOLATION.

JUST SOMETHING FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT.

SEE YOU LATER, HENRY.

AHEM.

MRS. BERRINGTON.

OH!

[GRUNTING] OH, GOD.

MR. FINCH!

WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED?

IT'S JUST A FLESH WOUND.

YOU'VE IMPALED YOURSELF?

OH!

AAH!

OHH!

I'LL GET DR. MORGAN.

NO, NO!

NO, NO, NO.

I'LL WRAP IT MYSELF.

I'M NOT HAVING YOU BLEEDING TO DEATH ON MY LAND!

NO, I MUST FINISH THIS GARDEN.

COME WITH ME THIS INSTANT.

NO!

OH!

COME ON UP.

COME ON UP.

OHH!

COME ON, LEAN ON ME, MR. FINCH.

[GRUNTING] [DOG YIPPING] I DIDN'T KNOW THE TRACTOR COULD HURT ANYONE.

I JUST DIDN'T WANT THE OTHERS THINKING I'M STUPID.

YOU'RE NOT STUPID.

ANYONE CAN SEE THAT.

DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL?

WHEN I COULD.

BUT ME LITTLE BROTHER GOT POLIO, AND MY MUM NEEDED HELP WITH THE OTHERS, SO... DO YOU HAVE THE BASICS?

I CAN WRITE ME OWN NAME IF I HAVE TO.

YOU WON'T TELL ANYONE, WILL YOU?

WHO WOULD I TELL?

THANKS, MR. TUCKER.

IT'S FRANK.

YOUR LETTER--I COULD READ IT FOR YOU, IF YOU LIKE, WRITE A REPLY.

OUR NEIGHBOR WRITES FOR HER, BUT IT'S ME MUM'S WORDS.

"DEAR IRIS, HOW IS LIFE ON THE FARM?

"THINGS IS MUCH THE SAME AROUND HERE, EXCEPT US MISSING YOU."

THE INFORMATION FROM THE AIR MINISTRY IS SKETCHY, BUT THEY BELIEVE YOUR HUSBAND WAS SMUGGLED ACROSS THE FRENCH BORDER AND INTO SWITZERLAND.

HE'S CURRENTLY BEING TREATED AT THE MILITARY HOSPITAL IN WOOLEDGE.

SO, HE'S INJURED.

THEY COULDN'T SAY.

BUT MRS. FISHER, IT BODES WELL THAT HE WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE FROM FRANCE AT ALL.

PLEASE, LADY HOXLEY, I HAVE TO GO TO HIM.

I'VE REQUESTED HE BE TRANSFERRED HERE.

IF HE'S FIT ENOUGH TO TRAVEL, HE SHOULD ARRIVE WITHIN THE COMING DAYS.

THANK YOU, LADY HOXLEY.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS.

[KIDS LAUGHING] RIGHT.

WHO'S FIRST?

YOU GO, CONNIE.

IT'S YOUR BIG NIGHT.

WELL, IF YOU INSIST.

STAYING FOR THE SHOW, ARE WE?

WELL, IF YOU-- YOU, OUT!

MARTIN, LOOK AT YOU.

YOU'RE FILTHY!

MUM!

RIGHT, YOU'RE IN THAT TUB WHEN WE'RE DONE, BUT FOR NOW, OUT.

WE'LL TRY AND SAVE YOU SOME SOAP.

OH!

[MAN MOANING] [SOBBING] NO.

NO, PLEASE, DON'T.

YOU'LL HURT YOURSELF.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

[SOBBING] SORRY.

SHH.

[SOBBING] THANK YOU.

FINCH: OH, I FEEL LIKE A MILLIONAIRE I'M OLD AND GRUMPY NOW OOH, I'M-- [SINGING CONTINUES] WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

NOTHING.

WERE YOU TRYING TO SPY ON THE GIRLS?

NO.

I WAS ONLY-- DON'T LIE TO ME, MARTIN, BECAUSE I JUST SAW YOU.

I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING.

RIGHT.

WELL, IF YOU'RE NOT PREPARED TO OWN UP, THEN PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE TO STAY IN YOUR ROOM TONIGHT AND YOU CAN MISS THE PARTY.

YOU CAN'T STOP ME FROM GOING.

MARTIN.

I'M NOT A KID ANYMORE!

YES, YOU ARE, AND UNTIL THAT CHANGES, YOU WILL DO AS YOU'RE TOLD.

MARTIN.

MARTIN!

[BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYING] CONNIE: AH, BEAUTIFUL!

THANKS FOR LETTING ME WEAR THIS, CONNIE.

KEEP IT.

OH, NO, I COULDN'T.

GO ON.

YOU SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING NICE FOR WHEN JOHN COMES HOME.

THANK YOU.

RIGHT.

READY, GIRLS?

HA HA HA!

OH!

WHAT'S ALL THIS?

I'M DONATING IT TO THE WINGS FOR VICTORY FUND.

MARTIN, THESE ARE YOUR THINGS.

DON'T WANT 'EM ANYMORE.

TAKE 'EM BACK, LOVE.

YOU'RE GONNA REGRET GIVING IT ALL AWAY.

I CAN START LOADING THE TRUCK.

UH, YEAH.

THANK YOU.

[GIRLS GIGGLING] [INDISTINCT CHATTER] LOOK AT YOU THREE.

DON'T YOU SCRUB UP WELL?

RIGHT, LET'S GET MOVING.

JOYCE, CAN YOU TAKE THAT?

THANKS, CONNIE.

IRIS.

THANKS AGAIN FOR TODAY.

IT WAS NO TROUBLE.

I WAS WONDERING IF... PERHAPS NEXT TIME A LETTER COMES, YOU'D READ IT FOR ME AGAIN?

NO.

YOU'LL READ IT YOURSELF.

WHAT?

AN HOUR A DAY.

NO EXCUSES.

YOU COME AND SEE ME.

YOU'LL BE READING BY THE TIME THE LAMB'S WEANED.

OH, WATCH YOUR DRESS.

OH, WHY DON'T WE SING SOMETHING TOGETHER?

[ENGINE STARTS] DON'T SIT UNDER THE APPLE TREE WITH ANYONE ELSE BUT ME ALL: ANYONE ELSE BUT ME ANYONE ELSE BUT ME NO, NO, NO DON'T SIT UNDER THE APPLE TREE WITH ANYONE ELSE BUT ME TILL I COME MARCHING HOME ISN'T IT GRAND?

YOU SHOULD ENJOY THE PARTY WITH YOUR FRIENDS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO PASS THE TIME WITH ME.

YOU ARE MY FRIEND, MR. TUCKER.

FRANK.

WHO INVITED HIM?

FINCH: WHO KNOWS.

GOOD EVENING, MRS. REEVES.

MR. FINCH.

WHEN DID THEY LET YOU LEAVE THE HOSPITAL?

A WEEK AGO.

THEY SENT ME HOME TO CONVALESCE.

PITY YOUR LAND GIRL CAN'T SAY THE SAME.

YES, IT WAS A SHAME ABOUT THAT, BUT OF COURSE IF I'D BEEN THERE TO TRAIN HER...

SINCE WHEN DO YOU TRAIN ANY OF THEM?

I'D WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN GIRLS IF I WERE YOU, THE LIKES OF FRANK TUCKER UNDER YOUR ROOF.

DO EXCUSE ME, MRS. REEVES.

[MUSIC ENDS] [MICROPHONE FEEDBACK] OOP!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR JOINING US TO CELEBRATE ON THIS GLORIOUS SUMMER'S EVENING.

AFTER THE TRAGIC EVENTS OF LAST WEEK, EVENTS THAT TOUCHED US ALL THE MORE FOR HAVING LOST ONE OF OUR OWN, IT'S A BLESSED THING FOR US ALL TO REJOICE.

IT REMINDS US THAT WE'RE STRONGER THAN THE BOMBS SENT TO SILENCE US.

ROSE BAILEY WOULD HAVE WANTED THAT.

HEAR HEAR!

SO, IN THAT SPIRIT, I'D LIKE TO THANK THE BAND FOR SERENADING US.

WELL DONE, BOYS.

WHOO!

IT'S VERY FITTING THAT WE HAVE MUSIC HERE TONIGHT, BECAUSE IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT WHEN CONNIE'S EYES MET MINE, IT WAS OVER THE KEYS OF MY PIANO.

AND A FEW PINTS!

HA HA!

YES, YES, THANK YOU, MR. FINCH.

THERE MAY INDEED HAVE BEEN AN ALE OR TWO INVOLVED, BUT IT WAS THIS DARK-HAIRED GODDESS WITH THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL THAT TRULY INTOXICATED ME, AND I'VE BEEN DRUNK ON HER LOVE EVER SINCE.

TO CONNIE AND HENRY!

ALL: TO CONNIE AND HENRY!

[APPLAUSE] FINCH: HEY!

HENRY: GOOD GOING, BOYS.

["ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET" PLAYING] MIND IF I CUT IN?

YES, I DO.

WHY DON'T YOU RUN ALONG, EH, LAD?

MUST BE PAST YOUR BEDTIME.

MARTIN.

OHH!

HA HA!

I'M SURE IRIS WILL DANCE WITH YOU AGAIN, LOVE.

WHAT'S HE LOOKING AT?

HE'S JUST LOOKING OUT FOR ME.

YOU OUGHT TO WATCH YOURSELF WITH HIM.

HE'S A THUG, JUST LIKE HIS BROTHER.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

I'M ONLY TELLING YOU FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

TUCKERS CAN'T BE TRUSTED.

I'D TRUST HIM BEFORE I'D TRUST YOU.

WHAT DID HE SAY TO YOU?

IT'S NOT WORTH REPEATING.

NO.

TELL ME.

HE SAID YOU WERE DANGEROUS, BUT I KNOW YOU'RE NOTHING LIKE YOUR BROTHER.

YEAH, MORE'S THE PITY.

BUT HE BEAT UP MR. STOREY.

THE MAN HAD IT COMING TO HIM.

IF I HAD TO, I'D FINISH THE JOB!

[APPLAUSE] THERE YOU ARE.

COME ON, THEY'RE STARTING.

UM, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AS YOU KNOW, OUR DEAR FRIEND CONNIE HAILS FROM A LITTLE PLACE YOU MIGHT HAVE HEARD OF CALLED LONDON TOWN.

SO, AS IT'S CONNIE'S NIGHT, WE THOUGHT WE'D TRY AND RE-CREATE A LITTLE BIT OF LONDON FOR HER RIGHT HERE IN HELMSTEAD.

[PIANO INTRO PLAYING] IRIS: I'VE JUST BEEN TO A DING-DONG DOWN GOOD OLD BRIXTON WAY OLD MOTHER BROWN, THE PEARLY QUEEN'S 100 YEARS TODAY OH, WHAT A CELEBRATION, WAS PROPER LA-DI-DA UNTIL THEY ROLLED THE CARPET UP AND SHOUTED, "NAH, THEN, MA " BOTH: KNEES UP, MOTHER BROWN KNEES UP, MOTHER BROWN COME ON, DEARIE, LET IT GO, E-I-E-I-E-I-O IT'S YOUR BLOOMIN' BIRTHDAY, LET'S WAKE UP ALL THE TOWN SO, KNEES UP, KNEES UP, NEVER GET THE BREEZE UP KNEES UP, MOTHER BROWN KNEES UP, MOTHER BROWN KNEES UP, MOTHER BROWN COME ON, DEARIE, LET IT GO E-I-E-I-E-I-O IT'S YOUR BLOOMIN' BIRTHDAY, LET'S WAKE UP ALL THE TOWN SO, KNEES UP, KNEES UP, NEVER GET THE BREEZE UP KNEES UP, MOTHER BROWN [APPLAUSE] CONNIE!

CONNIE!

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, AS LONG AS HENRY PLAYS.

[PLAYING PIANO INTRO] PINT OF ALE, PLEASE, SQUIRE.

MR. FINCH!

YOU HAD PLENTY MONEY, 1922... YOU HAVE HAD QUITE ENOUGH ALCOHOL FOR ONE DAY.

OH, I NEED IT, MRS. GULLIVER, FOR THE PAIN.

YOU'LL TAKE THE PROPER MEDICATION AT THE ALLOTTED TIME.

I SUPPOSE HALF AN HOUR WON'T MATTER.

CONNIE: GET OUT OF HERE AND GET ME SOME MONEY, TOO GLASS OF WATER.

YOU'RE SITTIN' DOWN WONDERIN' WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU AIN'T GOT NO MONEY THEY WILL PUT YOU OUT... ESTHER, ESTHER, YOU GOTTA HELP ME.

I BEEN SITTING IN THIS CHAIR ALL NIGHT.

THERE'S YOUR WATER, MR. FINCH.

THANK YOU, MRS. GULLIVER, FOR LOOKING AFTER MR. FINCH, BUT I'LL TAKE OVER NOW.

IT IS MY CHRISTIAN DUTY TO NURSE MR. FINCH BACK TO HEALTH, MRS. REEVES.

YOU'RE NOT HIS FAMILY, MRS. GULLIVER.

NEITHER ARE YOU, WHICH IS WHY HE SHOULD RESIDE WITH ME UNTIL HE'S RECOVERED PERFECTLY.

WHAT?

WHY WOULD HE WANT TO STAY WITH YOU?

BECAUSE I'VE GOT MORE TIME TO LOOK AFTER HIM THAN YOU DO.

WELL, I HARDLY-- I THINK IT'S QUITE A GOOD IDEA.

I'D BE OUT FROM UNDER YOUR FEET, WOULDN'T I?

RIGHT.

WELL, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.

MR. FINCH WILL BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

YOU WOULDN'T BE RUNNIN' ROUND FROM DOOR TO DOOR WHY DON'T YOU DO RIGHT... TAKE YOUR PILL.

AND DON'T THINK I'LL BE INDULGING YOUR LUSTS OF THE FLESH.

GET OUT OF HERE AND GET ME SOME MONEY, TOO I FELL FOR YOUR JIVIN' AND I TOOK YOU IN NOW ALL YOU GOT TO OFFER ME'S A DRINK OF GIN WHY DON'T YOU DO RIGHT LIKE SOME OTHER MEN DO?

[APPLAUSE] MAYBE LATER.

DANNY?

DANNY.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YES.

FORGOT THE WORDS FOR A SEC.

CONNIE, YOU WERE WONDERFUL.

VOICE OF AN ANGEL, ME.

[APPLAUSE] [BAND PLAYING SWING MUSIC] MR. STOREY, I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS A BUSINESS MATTER WITH YOU, IF I MAY.

LADY HOXLEY.

ROSE BAILEY'S DEATH WAS AN UNAVOIDABLE TRAGEDY, BUT I FEEL THE INJURY THAT LED TO IT WAS NOT.

I'M NOT APPORTIONING ANY BLAME, MR. STOREY.

I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE BEEN UNWELL.

NOW THAT YOU'RE BACK, I THINK THAT YOUR FARM AND MR. FINCH'S SHOULD WORK TOGETHER.

THAT WAY, YOU CAN SHARE ALL YOUR LABOR AND EXPERTISE.

WE MUSTN'T LET OUR LAND GIRLS BE LEFT WITHOUT THE PROPER TRAINING AND SUPPORT.

I TRUST YOU'RE HAPPY WITH THIS ARRANGEMENT?

LADY HOXLEY.

EXCUSE ME.

CHANNING: FLIGHT SERGEANT FISHER'S ARRIVED.

HE WAS ABLE TO ACCOMPANY A CONVOY FROM LONDON.

HE ASKED ME TO FIND YOU.

YES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR DILIGENCE, DR. CHANNING.

I'LL INFORM MRS. FISHER.

LADY HOXLEY, IT WASN'T MY INTENTION TO UPSET YOU.

THERE'S NO NEED TO EXPLAIN.

YOU'VE MADE YOUR FEELINGS PERFECTLY CLEAR.

NO, I DON'T THINK I HAVE.

ELLEN, I'D LIKE NOTHING MORE THAN TO STAY AND DANCE WITH YOU, AS WE DID THAT FIRST NIGHT.

ELLEN: JOYCE.

IT'S JOHN.

HE'S HERE.

WHAT, HE'S HERE NOW?

CAN I SEE HIM?

HE'S UNDER DR. CHANNING'S CARE.

I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.

THANK YOU, LADY HOXLEY.

YOU'VE GOT SOME FRONT SHOWING YOUR FACE HERE.

JUST TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING.

THAT'S FUNNY, 'CAUSE I THOUGHT YOU LOT WOULD BE JUST BEG IN THE STREETS.

YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH DENNIS, YOU TAKE IT UP WITH HIM.

YEAH, WELL, THERE'S NOTHING I'D LIKE MORE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE'S RUN AWAY LIKE THE COWARD THAT HE IS.

SO I'LL JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

TO FIND THE HOLE THAT HE SLITHERED INTO.

AND I KNOW JUST THE PERSON TO LEAD ME TO HIM.

WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.

AND EVEN IF I DID, I'D DIE BEFORE I TELL YOU.

WELL, IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES.

YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO.

YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME.

MARTIN.

HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING?

NO.

THAT'S THE SECOND LIE YOU'VE TOLD ME TODAY.

I CAN SMELL IT ON YOU!

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?

DON'T YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE TO ME.

WHY SHOULDN'T I?

YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A STUPID OLD COW!

MARTIN.
