say "over" and switch to "transmit".

I repeat, can you hear me? Over.

There was a man

shipwrecked on our island.

He killed my husband

and our shepherd Tom.

He's outside of the house now.

So... please come, for God's sake. Over.

We are on our way to you.

Now there's something I want you to do.

It's absolutely essential.

Are you hearing me clearly? Over.

Yes. I understand. Over.

You must destroy your radio. Over.

But... why? Please don't...

No, I can't do that.

I've got no one else here to help me.

Jo, stay there.

- Hope the island isn't fogged in.

- Just get there.

Jo.

Put the gun there.

Stand by the door.

There's a bottle of whisky

in the other room, Lucy.

Would you bring it to me, please?

Good God.

The war has come down to the two of us.

Do you know that?

I did what I had to do.

It cannot be undone.

I'm sorry.

Goodbye.

Mummy...

- Mummy.

- Yes. Yes, all right, darling. It's all right.

It's all right. Now, you must stay here.

Stay here, will you?

Stay here and wait for Mummy.

Oh, God.

Stop!

Please stop!

Stop, please!

Stop, please!

I had to kill him.

I had to...

Can you... Can you get up?

I did stop the transmission, didn't I?

Yes, you did marvellously.

Mummy!
