Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story Page #11

here till he can

make arrangements to bring

Dominic to France.

Don't be insane.

The Findlays have arranged

passage for all of us.

I know, but I can't leave until

I know what's happened to Gil.

You never saw what I did.

Next time, you may not get out.

Gil wouldn't want you

to go back and neither do I.

Look, why don't you sleep

in the bed tonight, hmm?

You've got us this far.

And I owe my life to you,

but I think it's time

we all go home.

We're a thrown-together

family, Fred.

Maybe this is it.

Maybe you two are

all the family I'll ever know.

But I'm going back

to try and find Gil... If I can.

Anne Blythe has

skyrocketed to prominence

at our newspaper for her

thought-provoking

and heartfelt attempts

to reach out

to the female population

and get them

to feel something about this war.

Mrs. Anne Blythe.

Good afternoon.

I know you all

have loved ones at the front

fulfilling their duties.

My husband too believed

he had a duty.

And that makes him just like

your husbands, brothers, sons.

They all believe that, even

if they sacrifice their lives,

it wouldn't be in vain.

They could die knowing

they had helped end this terrible war.

I have been to the front.

And there is little to be proud of now.

There's no glory.

Only horror, loss

and devastation.

Until the women

of the British Empire stand up

and openly acknowledge

the suffering,

this war may never end.

I say enough is enough.

Our duty

is to bring our men home.

You caused quite a stir.

I think Mr. Keegan's

of the school

that any publicity is good publicity.

A group smashed up this office

when Keegan allowed

a pro-German piece on

the sinking of the Lusitania.

I should use the side door

regularly if I were you.

Thanks for the information

about the German camps.

British medical personnel are

often kept in isolation.

Big shortage of doctors.

Perhaps the same thing

happened to your husband.

Thank you.

Missing something, miss Montrose?

I warned you that this position

was only temporary, Mrs. Blythe.

I no longer require

your assistance.

Mr. Keegan can employ you

if you decide to stay.

I'll finish my assignment

this afternoon.

Clean out my desk.

Mrs. Blythe, there are things

going on outside that we have

no control over.

Don't play into Keegan's hands.

I only want to help Jack.

What does this

have to do with Jack?

Oh, come now.

He's been springing prisoners,

gathering information

before the yanks even

stepped into France.

He truly believes that

the Americans can end the war.

And so do I.

Jack could expose Keegan

as a traitor,

but Jack doesn't want to tip

his hand just yet.

Who wrote this?

Jack did.

I managed to alert him...

Jack's changed the codes

and he's feeding his information

to American papers

through the gazette.

Anne, I have important news.

Please come in.

Yes, Mr. Keegan?

Sit down.

Maude has left the dispatch.

Would you ever consider

taking over her column?

Oh.

She told me

she didn't need me any more.

She never mentioned

anything about quitting.

Well, that's Maude,

always trying to pretend

she has the last word.

We had 10 years together.

It was time.

I very much appreciate the

opportunity you've proposed,

but I've made up my mind today

that I'm returning

to Canada with my friends.

You're not giving up

on your husband surely.

I hear the boys in the office

were most helpful.

No, I'm not giving up, but I...

I figure if all the rumors

are true, that the war

will end soon,

maybe he will be released.

What about Jack's whereabouts...

I noticed he had

a piece in the gazette

about the armistice.

He never did contact me.

Thank you again for the opportunity.

I've learned a great deal here.

Yes, I'm sure you have.

Tell me, will you be taking

Jack's baby with you?

Yes, I think that would be safest.

Mmm.

Well, good luck, Mrs. Blythe.

We will miss you.

Goodbye.

Thank you, ma'am.

Good day.

Anne, you're finally here.

This is my husband, George.

How do you do, Mrs. Blythe?

It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

My wife has spoken of your

determination and courage.

Not today, I'm afraid.

He has everything secured

to leave on Tuesday.

Will you join us in the sitting room?

Yes, that would be lovely.

I'll just clean Dominic up

and I'll be right down.

Hello. I missed you today.

Yes...

That's a dirty face.

I've spoken to Jack.

We need to discuss travel

arrangements for Dominic

and for your husband.

Fred.

This is miss Montrose

from the dispatch.

How do you do?

The Findlays wanted

to play a game of bridge.

I came up to get the cards.

Would you care to join us downstairs

for a drink, miss Montrose?

I'm afraid that I can't

intrude, Mrs. Blythe.

I'll wait for you outside.

Fred, could you please take Domenic

for a moment while

I see miss Montrose out?

The Findlays are really hoping

you'll be joining us.

Fred, I'll only be a moment.

What do you mean make

travel arrangements

"for my husband", where is he?

I haven't much time.

We can speak over here.

Why did you leave the paper?

I want to get home to the U.S.

I've had enough of London society.

Where is my husband?

Jack has contacted me

and he's explained everything.

He thinks he's found

a connection in Germany.

Maude is a pal.

Bring Dominic to me.

I can get you to your husband.

You could be making this up.

You can't take that chance.

Who are you really?

I'm one of a group of loyal Americans

committed to bringing about peace.

I don't understand.

What do you want from me?

Our efforts require your help.

The Garrisons own

a chateau in Belgium.

Kit Garrison, Jack's aunt,

runs a local hospice

and orphanage there.

Now, Jack thinks that the war

is just about to end.

The child will be perfectly safe there.

And I will obtain the proper papers

for you to travel to Liege.

Kit Garrison has certain valuables

that have to be brought across,

but she's too well-known

with the enemy authorities.

Now, these valuables can be used

to buy medical supplies

on the black market,

and also assist Jack in bribing

certain important people

behind the lines.

Now, if you return with the valuables,

they can be safely carried in...

if?

...once you're there.

Jack's connections will help you

find your husband.

None of us are safe right now.

I know that.

Well, the train leaves at

noon tomorrow for Portsmouth.

Tomorrow?

You do want to return

the boy, don't you?

Yes, of course

I do.

W-why do you think I wouldn't?

Well, when you first

came to my office,

I didn't know what you were up to.

You're a good little poker player.

It's been a lovely visit.

Mon be.

Promettez-moi.

I promise.

You'll be safe.

You seem like

you're running away.

I'm going back to France.

There's a chance I can find Gil.

What's wrong, Anne?

Don't tell the dodds about

my leaving. Promise me, Fred.

I promise.

Why are you being so elusive?

What am I going to

tell the Findlays?

They bought our ticket.

Driver.
