WELCOME.

NOW, I'M SURE I SPEAK FOR EVERYONE WHEN I SAY HOW GOOD IT IS TO SEE MRS. FISHER BACK WITH US ONCE AGAIN, FULLY RECOVERED, I HOPE, AFTER THE TERRIBLE EVENTS OF LAST SUNDAY.

NOW, THERE ARE TWO THINGS THIS MORNING.

FIRST, IT'S THE CHURCH ROOF FUND, YES, WHICH CURRENTLY STANDS AT--MR. PRESCOTT?

THANK YOU.

£3, 11 SHILLINGS, AND 6 PENCE.

WELL, IT'S A START.

NEXT, I'M SURE NOBODY NEEDS REMINDING THAT HELMSTEAD WILL WELCOME A PARTY OF YOUNG EVACUEES LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON.

I HAD HOPED WE WOULDN'T SEE THIS DAY AGAIN, BUT I'M SURE YOU'LL ALL OPEN YOUR HEARTS AND YOUR HOMES TO THESE POOR LITTLE MITES, TORN BY THE MISFORTUNE OF WAR FROM THE BOSOM OF THEIR FAMILIES.

ONCE AGAIN, MRS. GULLIVER WILL BE ASSUMING THE ROLE OF BILLETING OFFICER, AND A SPECIAL VOTE OF THANKS TO THE GANDERTON SISTERS FOR HEADING UP THE EVACUEE COMMITTEE.

STERLING WORK, LADIES.

THERE'S A COMPLIMENTARY BOTTLE OF LICE TREATMENT.

ONE WITH EVERY CHILD.

GOOD DAY TO YOU, ESTHER.

MAGNIFICENT.

I WAS JUST ADMIRING YOUR MOTHER'S BROACH.

HOW ARE YOU, YOUNG MAN?

EYES ANY BETTER?

SHAME.

COME ON, LOVE.

ANYTHING I CAN DO, ESTHER, YOU KNOW WHERE I AM.

HENRY: WELL, I HOPE YOU'LL BE A REGULAR, MR. GILLESPIE.

WE'RE SADLY SHORT OF TENORS.

AFRAID NOT.

BUSINESS TAKES ME HOME.

AH.

THEN CHICAGO'S GAIN IS OUR LOSS.

YOU'RE LEAVING?

THE COMPANY DOESN'T RUN ITSELF, AND THERE'S NOTHING FOR ME IN HELMSTEAD.

THEN I TAKE IT YOU'VE MADE NO PROGRESS.

I DID WARN YOU.

I'VE GOT ONE WEEK LEFT.

A DEAL ISN'T OVER TILL ALL THE CARDS ARE PLAYED.

TEMPT YOU IN?

IT'S TOO LATE TO TURN ME INTO AN HONEST WOMAN.

SHAME.

YOU MISSED SOME FINE SINGING.

NO.

I HEARD IT FROM OUT HERE.

THEY WERE FLAT.

AND WHOEVER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM HARMONIES SHOULD HAVE BEEN STRANGLED AT BIRTH.

TALKING OF HARMONIES, CONDOVER BOOKING.

I PUT A FEW NEW NUMBERS IN, YOU KNOW, STOP THE REPERTOIRE GOING STALE.

VERA LYNN, ANDREWS SISTERS, ALL THE MODERN STUFF.

NOTE PERFECT BY SATURDAY, MIND, ELSE THE REFUNDS COME OUT OF YOUR CUT.

MAKE THAT FRIDAY.

I'M OFF TO LONDON SATURDAY NIGHT.

ALL ABOVE BOARD.

24-HOUR PASS FROM LADY LA DI DA AND EVERYTHING.

FRIDAY?

WE'LL NEED SOME MORE REHEARSALS THEN.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

SEE YOU AROUND, VIC.

24-HOUR PASS?

YOU'VE ONLY BEEN HERE 5 MINUTES.

COMPASSIONATE LEAVE.

ME MOTHER'S SICK.

I THOUGHT YOU WERE AN ORPHAN.

THEN SHE'S SICKER THAN I THOUGHT.

HEY, HEY.

PASSIONATELY MORE LIKE, WITH A CERTAIN MARRIED GENTLEMAN, HMM?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER] ♪ GOOD AFTERNOON.

FINE DAY.

SOMETHING WRONG?

DARN RIGHT.

YOU'RE SMILING.

THE BRITISH AND THE AMERICANS ARE ALLIES.

I FEEL I'VE BEEN NEGLECTING THE HOSPITALITY BEFITTING THAT RELATIONSHIP.

IN THAT CASE, WE NEVER DID TAKE THAT WALK.

CHICAGO SLEEPS ON A SUNDAY.

I HAVE ALL DAY.

WHICH IS SOMETHING I DON'T.

ALWAYS DUTY BEFORE PLEASURE WITH SIS.

WHAT IS IT TODAY?

SPITFIRE FUND?

JAM JUDGING?

LAYING HANDS ON THE SICK?

EVACUEE BILLETING.

WE COULD ALWAYS USE AN EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS.

WELL, I WOULD, BUT IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ENTERTAIN OUR GUEST, THEN ONE OF US HAS TO FLY THE FLAG.

GLORIOUSLY FREE ALL DAY.

RIGHT, THEN.

HER LADYSHIP HAS PROMISED THE GANDERTON SISTERS A VOLUNTEER TO HELP WITH THE BILLETING, SO, UM... DON'T LOOK AT ME.

CONNIE IT IS, THEN.

[SCOFFS] WHY CAN'T SAINT JOYCE DO IT?

IT'S RIGHT UP HER STREET.

THE INQUIRY IS TODAY.

WHAT'S TO INQUIRE?

HE'S A DEAD JERRY.

I THOUGHT THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS WAR WAS TO KILL AS MANY OF THEM AS POSSIBLE.

CONNIE.

YOU AIN'T WORRIED?

UH, IT'S JUST A FORMALITY.

YOU JUST TELL 'EM WHAT HAPPENED, AND IT WILL BE FINE.

BUT SHE CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED.

SHELL-SHOCK, AIN'T IT?

IS WAS SELF-DEFENSE.

THAT'S ALL THEY NEED TO KNOW.

EXACTLY.

[INDISTINCT SINGING] CHIN UP, CHAMP.

I'M SURE THEY'RE ALL NICE PEOPLE.

HOW MANY CAN I PUT YOU DOWN FOR, TULLEY?

ONE.

BIG ENOUGH TO DO DIGGING, IF I MUST.

NOW, NOW, TULLEY, WE ALL HAVE TO DO OUR BIT.

GREAT.

DON'T WANT ANY BED-WETTERS THIS TIME.

OR ROMAN CATHOLICS.

CONNIE: OY, THEY'RE COCKNEYS, NOT ANIMALS.

OF COURSE NOT.

JUST LIKE REAL CHILDREN.

KEMP: YES, THIS INQUIRY IS TO ESTABLISH THE FACTS LEADING TO THE SHOOTING OF ULRICH KEITMEILER 8 DAYS AGO.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN VERY UPSETTING.

I DON'T REMEMBER MUCH AFTER THE CRASH.

WELL, DON'T WORRY.

IF IT DOESN'T COME BACK TO YOU, I'M SURE WE CAN FILL IN THE GAPS.

[MUSIC PLAYING] GWEN: THAT'S IT, DEARS.

KEEP MOVING.

NO.

WAIT!

HEY, MISTER!

NO!

I PROMISED ME MUM!

PLEASE!

PLEASE, MISTER!

I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS.

DISGRACE!

THE CART CRASHED.

THEN WHAT HAPPENED?

THE GUN WAS ON THE GROUND.

WE BOTH WENT FOR IT, BUT I GOT TO IT FIRST.

THEN?

I POINTED IT AT HIM.

YOU WERE AFRAID?

I WAS ANGRY.

IN FEAR OF YOUR LIFE.

I HATED HIM.

HE WAS THE ENEMY.

HE CAME TOWARDS ME.

[COCKS PISTOL] HE LUNGED TOWARDS YOU.

NO, NOT-- AND THEN YOU FIRED THE GUN IN SELF-DEFENSE.

I DON'T REMEMBER.

I THINK WE'VE HEARD ALL WE NEED.

HE WASN'T ARMED.

I BEG YOUR PARDON.

WELL, I HAD A GUN AND HE DIDN'T, SO HOW COULD IT HAVE BEEN SELF-DEFENSE?

HE WAS A KAMPFFLIEGER, A TRAINED KILLING MACHINE AGAINST A SLIP OF A GIRL.

I THINK HIS PHYSICAL PRESENCE WOULD HAVE BEEN WEAPON ENOUGH.

WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO ME?

IF IT WERE UP TO ME, I'D GIVE YOU A MEDAL.

YOU ARE A VERY BRAVE YOUNG WOMAN, A CREDIT TO YOUR COUNTRY.

BUT HE DIDN'T-- GOOD-BYE, MRS. FISHER.

AND THANK YOU.
