Do you suppose he
takes it out at night?
West End Introduction Agency?
Hello, gorgeous. Listen, it has
to be Thursday instead of tonight.
The wife's roped me into some damn
cocktail do with the neighbours.
What time Thursday sir?
Seven o'clock, usual place?
I'm counting the
minutes, my love.
Daddy! Daddy!
Do you have an appointment?
You need to fill this in,
as much detail as you can.
Actually, I'm not here after
a date, it's you I want.
Viv, isn't it?
Robert Fraser?
I shared a cell with your
brother in the Scrubs.
I ran into him the other day.
As I'm sure you are.
The cafe, at the top
of Poland Street.
I finish in 20 minutes.
I'll see you there.
Duncan never said
you were married.
I'm not.
Look, I know it's queer,
me dropping into your life out
of the blue like this, but...
when I saw Duncan with
Mundy the other night...
You went to their house?
I mean, Mundy, of all people!
Didn't he get enough
of him in prison?
A boy like Duncan, it's...
just not right is it?
A boy like him!
Why not just say what you mean?
And why do you suddenly
care so much about him?
About who he lives with or...
Oh, I see!
It's not like that.
I'm not like that.
Is that what you think?
Maybe he went to Mundy's because
he had nowhere else to go.
He couldn't come home, "Never
return to the scene of the crime",
isn't that what you cons say?
Sharing a cell...
like we did...
The truth is, I wasn't always as
kind to him as I should have been.
I want to do right
by him now, if I can.
I used to watch you,
in that visiting room.
When you walked in, it was like
in The Wizard Of Oz, you know...
when suddenly it all
goes into Technicolor.
Just for a few minutes,
things didn't seem so...
utterly, bloody bleak.
I'd like to call you
sometime, may I?
There's someone
else, of course.
As if I'd ever get that lucky.
Hello?
Wait. Please!
Hello! Wait, please?
PLEASE!
I knew it was you.
You did me a great kindness in
the war. You loaned me this?
I saw you near here last week.
I've been back every
day, hoping to find you.
You shouldn't have
gone to the trouble.
What you did for me.
God bless you!
PHONE RINGING:
Streatham 212?
Viv, Viv it's me!
Where are you, love?
I'm here waiting for ya! Viv?
Viv, I can't stop much longer,
one of the kids is ill. Viv?
Viv?
Viv, are you there?
Answer me, Viv!
AMERICAN RADIO SHOW
Hello?
It was an accident! I'll retype
it for you. I'll start on it now!
What were you doing
in here anyway?
I was at a concert.
God, what a mess.
What was it?
The concert?
Mozart.
You were with
Ursula, weren't you?
Fine, it's her birthday,
she had a dinner party.
She asked me if I'd
help her with it.
Satisfied?
others like her there.
You mean like us?
Yes, a matter of fact.
As it happens she
invited you too.
I told her you
were unavailable.
Because you still can't cope with
being around queers, can you?
You can't deal with it.
That's not true!
So why is I never meet your friends?
Or you never want to meet mine?
When I do go out, or
anything on my own,
I have to come back to
another of your inquisitions
because I'm so bloody
irresistible that even if a
girl isn't a raving
lesbian when she meets me,
she will be by the time
I've got my hands on her.
You know why I do it.
Because I'm afraid you
no longer love me.
If you ever did.
It wasn't just about revenge?
God, must it always
come back to that?!
We can't go on
like this, Helen.
Torturing each other
over the past.
You need to find a
place of your own.
Sort out who you are,
what it is you want.
It's you I want
Remember when we met?
You loved me then!
I can be that
person again, I can!
I want to be that person!
One sugar.
Just as you like it.
Sit a minute.
How was your day?
CLOCK CHIMES SOFTLY
The usual.
Nothing more from Fraser?
We're better off
without him, lad.
Dial needs a bit of a clean,
if you've a mind.
CONVERSATION:
SPILLS ONTO STREE SIREN GETS LOUDER
SIREN QUIETENS:
PHONE RINGS:
You're up, girls. Another
guest house in Joswick Street.
WHISTLING, EXPLOSION
SHOUTS AND EXPLOSIONS ECHO
SIREN RINGS:
More round the corner!
Two walking wounded, one fatality,
one still unaccounted for.
Bloody hours, digging
around, looking for him.
So much for a quiet night.
I had in mind a couple
of fractures, maybe
a nice old lady
with a broken ankle.
A nice YOUNG lady, you mean.
Women's work, Harry?
People will talk.
You'd know all about that.
Sticks and stones.
I've heard it all before,
lived to tell the tale.
Not if Hitler gets his way.
He'd have you lot
strung up by your tits.
Just another reason
to bash the Bosch.
Break it up, you two.
He started it, Mummy.
BOMB EXPLODES:
SECONDARY EXPLOSION
PHONE RINGS:
Here we go, stand by your beds.
You're up, Hughes. Brandon Place,
corner of Levington Street.
Come on.
Don't get too
comfortable, Langrish.
Night's not over yet.
I suppose you don't hear much of
the bombs, down in your shelter?
We're not allowed
in the shelters.
Only the guards are.
Still, safer here than you
would be at the front, eh?
Hardly. They say, er,
Pentonville got hit by an
incendiary bomb the other day.
Your cell mate, isn't it?
The one who was at university?
You can tell just
by looking at him
he doesn't belong here.
Meaning I do?
He didn't say that, Duncan.
I thought the chap at the
end was due for release?
They're letting him out next week.
Going to the army.
Good on him.
What, so there's no shame in the
army making you into a murderer?
It's all right to have blood on
your hands for King and Country?
For heaven's sake, Duncan!
You want to talk about shame?
You wait until you're out
of here and you can't walk
down the street without
people pointing at you,
whispering about
you and that boy.
If you're so ashamed, why
bother coming to see me?
You're my son.
No need for that.
Be a man, eh?
KNOCK AT DOOR:
Bloody chambermaid's on the prowl,
had to play hide and seek with her.
Oh...
Jesus, what a dump! I should
have come ahead, checked it out.
change from our Paddington one...
I have something for you!
Not much...
They grow in the
woods by the base.
Every time I see them
they remind me of you.
So unspoilt. Beautiful.
Oi! Keep it down in there!
These walls are like paper.
THEY LAUGH:
Hey.
Perfect timing for once.
EXPLOSIONS AND SCREAMING
Langrish! Langrish!
What the hell are you doing?
Go the other way!
Through Dean Street.
Stay back! Another one
over here. Stay back!
Get back!
I hear you've been up to
your heroics again, Langrish.
Putting out incendiaries? How many
times? It's not our responsibility.
So, let an entire street
get reduced to ashes?
You know the procedure.
Either stick to it
